Record seed count harvests optimism JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
JENNIFER SMITH/MORNING STAR
Nancy vanderLaan, Kalamalka Forest Centre forestry technician, holds open one of the many bags of pine cones for Pat Bell, Minister of Forests and Range, and Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, Monday for the kick off of National Forest Week.
While pine beetle and mill closures have taken a major toll on B.C., the man in charge of the forest sector says things are looking up. And look up he did – while perched high alongside the treeline at the Kalamalka Forestry Centre Monday, Pat Bell, Minister of Forests and Range, picked pine cones. “These seedlings here are a direct function of how we grow forward,” said Bell, kicking off National Forest Week (Sept. 19 to 25) with the good news. Thanks to Kalamalka Forestry Centre’s bumper crop, growth is on track. “It’s going to produce enough seed to plant the entire province for a year,” said Bell. The seeds that come from the cones picked locally are a symbol of growth, not only in B.C.’s forests, but also in B.C.’s forestry economy. “From one corner of this province to another you see mills re-opening,” said Bell. “It’s a year of celebration. The markets are slowly improving.” For the laid-off mill workers who have yet to get their jobs back, Bell admits things aren’t perfect, yet. “Are we back yet? No. It’s going to take some time to get there, but we’re heading in the right direction.”
“It’s a year of celebration. The markets are slowly improving.” — Pat Bell The bumper crop of cones in Coldstream – the largest cone harvest in the centre’s 30-year history – are the first step in a prosperous future for forestry. This year’s crop will produce approximately 192 million seeds from the 5.1 million cones collected (up from previous highs in 2007 where 176 million seeds were extracted from 3.8 million cones). Worth anywhere from one cent to 10 cents per seedling, Bell says: “This stuff is literally worth gold.” Once harvested, the cones from the Kalamalka orchards are collected and shipped to the Tree Seed Centre in Surrey for seed extraction and storage. Approximately 200 million seeds are planted in any given year, and some are stockpiled for future insurance (when certain varieties are limited). Bell says all those involved are protecting the future of their forests and the forest sector. “A facility like this ensures that we have a sustainable, long-term industry.”
Foster frustrated with HST recall games RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster is frustrated the fate of elected officials is being treated like a TV reality show. Foster is one of 18 Liberal politicians being targeted as part of Fight HST’s MLA Survivor Recall: Vote Them Off The Island campaign. “I would have thought the future of the province and the economy would be more important than a game,” he said. Fight HST will hold a weekly contest to see which constituencies sign up the most recall canvassers between Sept. 27 and Nov. 15. Ultimately, the three areas with the most
canvassers will proceed with recall campaigns in January, with a new recall launch every month after the first three. “We had so much interest from so many constituencies, we decided this would be the fairest way to determine who gets to go first,” said Chris Delaney, Fight HST lead organizer, in a release. “It will also help gauge interest in each riding and build an army of volunteers to ensure success.” Fight HST is moving ahead with recall after a legislative committee decided to hold a referendum in September 2011 on the harmonized sales tax, instead of having a vote in the Legislature now.
“I don’t understand why Bill Vander Zalm (Fight HST leader) and Chris Delaney are bent on recall when we’ve said we’ll go to referendum. That’s pretty grassroots democracy,” said Foster. “If the issue is truly the HST, why not wait until people can vote on it? They have an agenda. According to their statements, they’re going to keep going (with recall) until they bring the government down.” To remove an MLA from office would require 40 per cent of the people listed on the 2009 voters’ list signing the recall petition. The recall process must occur over 60 days. The NDP has suggested that legislation
be changed so a referendum on the HST be held as early as this fall instead of next year. “It’s an option,” said Foster of the proposal coming from the official opposition. In a letter to Premier Gordon Campbell, NDP leader Carole James said that the issue of the HST cannot continue until late 2011. “Certainty and stability are important for investor and consumer confidence. Holding a referendum on a major tax initiative one year for now undermines that confidence,” she said. “I have already heard from many British Columbians who are considering holding off major purchases until the future of the HST is finally established.”

Years of debate, planning and construction came to a successful end for Greater Vernon residents Monday. At 8 a.m., treated water started flowing from the Duteau Creek plant and into lines that connect to customers in Coldstream, Vernon and the BX. “We’ve proven out the chemical mixtures and equipment,� said Sandy Edwards, plant manager, of the six weeks of testing that occurred. “By the end of the week, people should see a big reduction in colour.� The goal of the $29.2 million facility on Whitevale Road is to address concerns about the colour of the Duteau source and turbidity (cloudiness). “The health of the community is important and water is a significant thing. This helps the health of the community,� said Wayne Lippert, Greater Vernon Advisory Committee chairman. Duteau Creek supplies 60 per cent of the water required in Greater Vernon. Construction began 18 months ago, and the plant can treat 160 million litres of water per day, with a total capacity of 10 million litres in two chambers.
Discussions about a treatment plant began years ago, and the project, and how to fund it, became a priority for the North Okanagan Regional District. “We went to the premier’s office in 2006 and it was a unanimous decision among directors that we needed the treatment plant,� said Herman Halvorson, NORD chairman. “It was a very co-operative approach. It (treatment) was badly needed.� Of the $29.2 million, $10.3 million came from the federal gas tax and $3.3 million was from the municipal rural infrastructure fund. The remainder was generated through water utility fees, which placed a burden on customers. However, Lippert says extending the cost over a number of years was better than all at once. “We have been paying towards it but it’s a big dollar item, not just to build it but to operate it,� he said. The next stage for NORD is to start planning for filtration, which has been ordered by the Interior Health Authority by 2015. “That’s another costly project with capital costs of $20 million and operating costs will be huge. We have to work with IHA to determine what the need really is,� said Lippert.

Police find 497 marijuana plants Morning Star Staff
A marijuana grow-op has been shut down in Lake Country. On Saturday, police officers executed a search warrant in the 2500 block of Sandy Cove Court. They found 497 marijuana plants inside the home. “Several rooms in the residence were being utilized for the production of marijuana, and large quantity of dried mari-
juana was also located inside the residence,� said Const. Mike Taylor. “Several other rooms were also being used for various growing activities.� An illegal electrical bypass was also located and was being used to power lights and equipment associated to the production of the marijuana. “B.C. Hydro was requested to attend to ensure the members safety at the scene,�
said Taylor. “These types of electrical bypasses have the potential to cause severe injuries or death to anyone working around them.� The investigation continues and the police are trying to locate three people associated to the property. A no-occupancy order has been posted on the property under District of Lake Country bylaw.
Irish Creek Road grow-op closed down by RCMP ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A tip from the public led Vernon RCMP to shut down a large marijuana grow operation on Crown land Friday. Police swooped in to some property in the 600 block of Irish Creek Road, off Westside Road, and seized an operation that had the possibility of putting 50 pounds of marijuana on the streets. “The operation had 2,000 plants with a complete irrigation drip-line system to every plant,� said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. No arrests were made

Volunteers sought for hall RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A fire truck will be making the rounds at Predator Ridge and Sparkling Hill, but the goal is to increase awareness and not warn of an emergency. Two volunteer firefighters will be stationed at the resorts until Oct. 3 and between 7 and 9 p.m. nightly, they will be driving around in an engine and promoting the need for a volunteer fire hall there. “People can expect to see firefighters in the community,� said Liz Thomson, Vernon Fire Department public information officer. The city has established a goal of having a fire hall at Predator Ridge/Sparkling Hill by 2012, but before that can occur, there is a need for residents and employees at the resorts to come forward. “We want to develop an interest in the volunteer service,� said Lawrie Skolrood, deputy chief, adding that having two volunteers there until Oct. 3 is key to the initiative. “They’ll be able to talk to people about what it’s like to be a volunteer.� Construction of a fire hall is contingent on the city budget, but a site for the facility has been selected near Predator Ridge’s maintenance yard. “It’s easily accessible so firefighters can get to their equipment,� said Brent Ree, Predator Ridge Resort general manager. The hope is to have 16 volunteers for the new hall, and an engine is already in place. The volunteers stationed at the resorts over the next two weeks will also promote fire prevention and familiarize themselves with the neighbourhoods and surrounding wildlands. “Predator has all kind of back trails,� said Skolrood, adding that there’s a wildfire risk and the response time from the Vernon hall is about 18 minutes. “It’s quite a ways from Vernon.�

Stabbing lands man in hospital Morning Star Staff
One man was arrested following a Lake Country stabbing incident Sunday. Police were called to a residence on Myrus Road just before 8 p.m. The call had come from a woman at the home who advised RCMP her boyfriend had been stabbed by a male friend who had been visiting. Police say the two men had been in a shop beside the residence when their discussion led to a physical altercation, and ended when the accused stabbed the victim in the abdomen.
The accused fled the scene but was found a short time later by police in his Lake Country home. He was arrested and transported to Kelowna detachment where he was later released to appear in provincial court on Nov. 18. Police have recommended charges of assault with a weapon and possession of a weapon dangerous to the public. The victim suffered a small wound to his abdomen. He was taken to Kelowna General Hospital by ambulance, was treated and released the same evening.

Feeling hosed
I
turned on the tap Monday night and crisp, clear water filled the glass right to the rim. Not that I ever had many complaints about what I was getting before, but bringing the Duteau Creek treatment plant on stream earlier in the day made a huge difference. That’s good considering the amount of money Greater Vernon utility customers have been paying over the years. Officials will argue that a pot of cash had to build up before construction of the $29 million facility could begin, but not seeing anything tangible except high water rates became frustrating for many. Unfortunately, though, the pain isn’t over yet. North Okanagan Regional District staff Richard Rolke and politicians are already bracing us for a projected $20 million to install filtration because the Interior Health Authority has demanded it be in place by 2015. “That cost is outrageous after what we just spent. All we’ve done is spend money, money, money on water,” said director Jack Gilroy after hearing staff ’s report about the next stage to come. “I don’t know where we’re supposed to get $20 million. The taxpayer is tapped out.” Obviously we all want assurances that our drinking water is safe, but it’s too easy for IHA and the provincial government to exert financial pressure on communities when they bring virtually no monetary assistance to the table. Yes, there was $16.6 million in federal and provincial grants for the Duteau Creek treatment plant, but that was peanuts compared to the burden carried by local water users. Also keep in mind that as taxpayers, we contributed

towards those government funds so generously provided. If Greater Vernon’s ability to pay for a treatment plant and filtration is put to the test, how are smaller communities across the North Okanagan going to cope? Will utilities in Spallumcheen, Falkland, Lumby or Kingfisher be bankrupted when IHA comes knocking on the door with demands for enhanced systems? Will the price tag force some of them to ignore the work, praying no one gets sick from the water? Talk to many local politicians off the record and they speculate that the push for water improvements has little to do with public safety and more to do with senior government and health boards trying to protect their own backends. Ever since the water-related deaths in Walkerton, Ont. in 2000, reducing liability has become the name of the game. As a result, creeks and lakes that have supplied water to Okanagan families for 100 years all of a sudden are a breeding ground for an assortment of nasty bugs. Victoria and Ottawa will cry poverty and say they don’t have the financial resources to take on aging water systems, but when you consider the billions of stimulus dollars that have gone to arenas, pools and bailing out entire segments of the economy, there is money out there. Instead of taking responsibility for their own water quality and health standards, senior government downloads on to municipalities, regional districts and irrigation districts who have no choice but to pass the bill on to customers. Turning on the tap to newly treated Duteau Creek water is still a treat, but thinking about what’s to come just leaves me feeling hosed.
For most of us, we take it for granted that a fire truck will arrive shortly after an emergency breaks out. But for those living or working at Predator Ridge and Sparkling Hill, it could be at least 18 minutes before firefighters show up from downtown Vernon. That’s why the Vernon Fire Department, Predator Ridge and Sparkling Hill deserve praise for the collective effort that will see volunteers stationed at the resorts every night until Oct. 3. While there, they will become more familiar with the setting, but also promote the need for fire safety and for residents to sign up to become volunteers themselves. Without the participation of volunteers, the city’s plans for a fire hall at Predator Ridge by 2012 will be difficult to achieve, and that means that lengthy response times will continue. And every minute counts during a fire, particularly because the proximity of grassland and forest means that a wildfire at Predator Ridge and Sparkling Hill isn’t just a concept but a real possibility. Volunteers, who would be assisted by Vernon’s other emergency resources, are also an economically sound way to provide a much-needed service. It should also be pointed out that volunteers go through extensive training and are capable of handling virtually every situation put before them. We would encourage anyone who lives or works at Predator Ridge and Sparkling Hill to rally behind a volunteer hall, and the city to ensure that funding is in place to meet the 2012 target. Years have gone by without adequate fire service in this growing Vernon neighbourhood, and it’s time for that scenario to change.

HST hits the little guy too
I
just read a letter from Chris Harwood-Jones (Keep the HST - August 29/10) and I feel a strong urge to respond. First, let me clear up the confusion so apparent in your first and last paragraphs. The people of British Columbia are not upset about the HST because it's a new tax; they're not upset that taxes must inevitably rise. What they are upset (read: angry) is that the HST was brought to bear upon the citizens of this province in such a sneaky, lowdown, under-handed fashion. The crux of the issue for most people I talk to is not that there is a higher tax, but that our elected government deliberately misled the public. Had the BC Liberals been open and honest about both the need for such a tax and the manner in which it would be introduced and implemented, I think the anti-HST forces would not exist in such strength as they do now. Secondly, it's apparent (at least to this reader) that a) you have someone doing all your shopping for you; and b) you are not of "the working poor." BANK CARD BLUES Please make sure you close your bank card account. Take your card out. I didn't do that and it cost me. Some unscrupulous person came to the drive through and took advantage of my open account. The dog stole money from my account and should be caught by video camera. Do the right thing and return $200 to TD Bank, Vernon. Stealing from someone's limited income is a dastardly deed which causes havoc with overdrawn account, NSF cheque and stop orders, then worry about how to make the remaining $25 last to the next Old Age Security cheque two weeks away. Thank you for the $25. My fault for forgetting my card. Your fault for stealing $200. A curse on you. What goes around, comes around. Name withheld TAXING TIMES In this topsy-turvy world of global economics we have conflicting values all depending on who you are. When we look at the compensation we get for our working value we start to see more clearly who is controlling the way we live. To give an example, let's take a look at a person who works for
I purchase very little in the course of any given day, apart from building materials, but I have noticed an increase on every little thing I do buy. The coffee I pick up on my morning walk with the dogs used to be $2 even; now its $2.13. The newspapers I buy on Saturday used to cost me $5.28; I now pay $5.99. When I go out for breakfast at my favourite cafe in Enderby, I pay an extra 30 cents. Now, I am not neither a "real estate developer" or "a private club member" or rich, but I seem to be paying the price anyway. When whichever flavour of government of the day wishes to introduce a new tax in an honest and straightforward manner, I will embrace it because I believe, as you do, Mr. Harwood-Jones, that we need to increase taxes to pay for rising health care costs (although education could eliminate a lot of that), failing infrastructure, public transportation and sound environmental policies. In the meantime, despite the sentiments of such non-believers in democracy, I wish Bill Vander Zalm and his cohorts success in their endeavour. Mark Levey
minimum wages. His wages have been the same for about 10 years now without any benefits. Next, let's look at the people who control the minimum wages who can give themselves a wage increase of 27 per cent on top of already lavish wages. This same group of people seems to think that paramedics are only worth three per cent increase while saving countless lives every working day. Now that people have shown their dislike for the new tax grab, all kinds of twisting and bending of rules and laws are surfacing from the woodwork. Every day we are bombarded with sales gimmicks of 25 per cent to 90 per cent off any given item which leads us to ask, what is the profit margin in the first place? But when the workers who produce these sales items ask for a wage increase more often than not they end up on strike to get two-to-three per cent per year increase. Then we have a group of people, the poorest of the poor, trying to survive on totally inadequate welfare rates — there are those who think they are worth the 27 per cent wage increase governing the welfare rates. Last, but not least, the people who have been elected seem to be
only able to smile and put down the opposing parties, no matter how good and viable their ideas might be. The present HST is showing us that the electorate is only good at election time when the smiling faces of the candidates get to shout all their false promises. All of the above leads us to ask when are we going to get the transparent and accountable government our politicians are so fond of calling their actions? Eric Holopainen
losophy. Now back to the HST. Harper has bought the B.C. Liberals with a billion dollar-plus bribe to implement said tax. I get real nervous when I see big business, chambers of commerce and capitalists coming out of the woodwork defending the HST. Of course, I'd be happier than a pig at the trough if I could look forward to a 25 per cent tax cut that will be passed onto the normies also. Bill Frohlick
If this had been Pat’s mother or Pat herself in pain and anguish - I doubt she would be so glib in her ‘fact of life’ response. We know the emergency staff are wonderful but the system and resources available to them are clearly not. Susan Neilly
TAX TROUBLE In light of the controversy surrounding the HST being forced on us by two levels of government my mind goes back to when the Mulroney Conservatives forced the GST upon us. Here we are, years forward, with another Conservative government forcing another arbitrary set of taxes on a disgruntled electorate. It seems that Harper can't seem to manage the financial affairs of the country being drained by the cost of being involved in a war we have absolutely no business being in. Students of history are totally aware of the fact that the corporate sector flourishes in periods of war which, of course, is the Conservative party mandate phi-
HEALTH CARE On Aug. 15 your front page article reported a complaint about a situation patients were experiencing in Vernon Jubilee Emergency Department on the day the caller was awaiting treatment. In responding to the issues raised, Pat Furey, Interior Health Authority Acute Services Area Director was quoted by your reporter as saying “we have a system where we look after the sickest patients first……….other patients have to wait a bit longer’. I find it appalling and unacceptable that a 92-year-old woman with a broken bone was considered ‘other’ and had to wait up to five hours in a room with 10 other patients in hospital gowns without privacy or dignity.

News New laws ‘make our roads safer’ ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
They didn’t rush out and set up a road block once B.C.’s tough new legislation aimed at impaired drivers came into effect Monday. But Vernon RCMP insist there will be no grace period for drivers caught breaking the new rules. “We’ve been talking about this new legislation for the last couple of months, and, with help from the media, we’ve made the public well aware what’s happening,” said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. “We are not taking any different forms of enforcement action. These new rules give us new tools that we’ll be using. Are we running out tonight to put in a road block? No. However, there are planned road blocks and road checks all of the time.” New rules that took effect Monday introduced an Immediate
Roadside Prohibition (IRP) if they blow in the “Warn” range of .05 to .08 on a roadside screening device. If you are in the Warn category, you could get a three-, a seven- or a 30-day IRP. “If you have no priors, you’d get a three-day IRP,” said Molendyk. “For the second offence, if you had a 24-hour warning already, or have been issued an IRP, you immediately get a seven-day IRP. And it’s 30 days for a third or any subsequent offence.” Your vehicle would also be towed, unless you were dealt with in a parking lot where the vehicle could stay, or someone who is sober is with you and could drive the car away. With the old 24-hour suspensions, your driver’s licence could be picked up at the police station. Now, there’s plenty of paperwork to deal with. “Now, your licence gets sent to ICBC and to get it back, you pay
a $200 administration penalty and $250 to be re-instated, that’s with a three-day IRP,” said Molendyk. “With a seven-day, it’s a $300 admin penalty and $250 reinstates, and with 30 days, it’s $400 admin and $250 reinstatement.” Another fine that went up as of Monday was a fine issued to drivers with no valid driver’s licence. That fine is now $276, up from $130. And it didn’t take long for local RCMP to enact new rules regarding excessive speeding. A Lumby RCMP officer caught a driver going more than 40 kms an hour over the posted speed limit at 10 a.m. Monday on Highway 6. The motorist, as it was a first offence, had his vehicle impounded for seven days. A second offence within two years will result in a 30-day impoundment, and a third offence within two years for excessive speeding, street racing, exces-
sive tailgating or other reckless driving action will result in a 60-day vehicle impoundment. “This new legislation is trying to make our roads safer. It’s one of our detachment’s priorities, road safety,” said Molendyk. “The point is we’re trying to make roads safer for everyone.”

Bears on the hunt for food ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan bears are in the midst of their annual foray into communities, hunting for food and fruit. Conservation officer Josh Lockwood said bears are in their prehibernation wander. “They’ll eat continuously from now until the mid or end of October, or longer, depending on the weather,” said Lockwood. “If they are not getting their natural quality food, they’ll stay out longer and become a bigger problem for homeowners.” Conservation officers were out of town last week when a bear wandered into Vernon, being spotted at Justice Park across from the courthouse, before being treed on East Hill’s 29th Crescent. The bear was destroyed by police officers. “Most of the time the bears are in the areas where the forests meet the community, like upper Coldstream, East Hill or the BX,” said Lockwood. “A lot of people are responsible cleaning up their fruit, and that brings the bears in closer looking for food.” Most of the complaints conservation officers are receiving lately from the public in relation to bears are that the animal is into fruit, be it fruit on the ground rotting or into apple trees. “If you have abandoned fruit trees in your yard or in the area that you’re not using, we encourage you to contact the Upper Room Mission, the food bank or the Okanagan Friendship Centre,” said Lockwood. “These people have people that will come and pick your fruit and it will go to good use if you’re not going to use it.” The majority of com-
plaints to conservation officers are not daylight hour complaints. The bears appears to be nocturnal, coming in between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. before returning to the forests. With only two bear traps to service the North Okanagan, which includes Vernon, Coldstream, Lumby, Armstrong, Enderby and Salmon Arm, Lockwood
said the public would have to be at risk in order for a trap to be set. “A bear wandering through an area at 2 a.m. does not present a public safety risk unless you go outside your residence and place yourself in danger,” he said. Bears will also snoop around garbage, and conservation officers politely ask the public to place garbage out on collection
day. If your collection day is Monday, do not put garbage out Friday night if you’re going to be away on Monday. “We see that a lot,” said Lockwood. “Have your neighbour put out your garbage for you, and put the garbage out in the morning.” To report bear problems, call the conservation officer’s report line at 1-877-952-7277.

Gate shuts out partiers
Hair Trouble???
RICHARD ROLKE
I MAKE HOUSE CALLS
Morning Star Staff
Action is being taken to safeguard a BX neighbourhood from illegal activities in the bush. The North Okanagan Regional District has installed a gate to control access to the undeveloped portion of Dixon Dam Road, which has been the site of parties, illegal dumping and discharging firearms. “Rowdiness and drunkenness are a concern but there’s a lot of big bush fires when conditions are dry,” said Leith Skinner, alternate BX-Silver Star director. “A number of residents considered taking action into their own hands.” The $2,000 gate came from director Mike Macnabb’s discretionary funds, and residents volunteered time towards installation. Most of the illegal activities occur at the old dam site and the property leading up to it is private. “It’s an area where lots of bad things happen,” said Rob Smailes, planning and building general manager, adding that the primary issue has been wildfire. “In the spring, people were trucking in piles of pallets in anticipation of parties. There was a concern because if a fire got in there, there would be nothing stopping it from going to Silver Star.” Last December, Macnabb met with the Ministry of Forests, Ministry of Transportation, Safe Communities Unit, the BX-Swan Lake Fire Department and NORD staff met to discuss a coordinated approach to improve safety and reduce crime. All owners of land past the gate were contacted and with the exception of one that did not respond, all supported restricting access to the area. Keys will be distributed to all affected property owners as well as the fire department, NORD and the police. There is nothing to stop people from walking around the gate and heading into the bush, but Smailes believes there should be a reduction in problems given that the old dam is a two-kilometre walk. “If they try to rip the gate out, people will see it and there will be a call-out to the RCMP,” he said.

Event targets waste Morning Star Staff
It’s time to round up those old pesticides, solvents and cleaners. The North Okanagan Regional District will host its annual Household Hazardous Waste Round Up Oct. 2 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Okanagan College in Coldstream and from 9 a.m. to noon at the Enderby and Lumby fire halls. “Bring your household hazardous waste for safe disposal or recycling - old pesticides, solvents, chemicals, or corrosive and toxic cleaners; anything with an explosive, flammable or poisonous label,” said Arnold Badke, general manager of engineering. The event is for household hazardous waste only, and only containers up to 20 litres will be accepted. Waste from commercial or industrial sources will not be accepted. Residents should take the following precautions when transporting these goods to the event: 1. Make sure containers have tightly secured lids to prevent leaks; 2. If the contents of the container is known, attach labels to ensure proper handling; 3. Pack items in a sturdy box and place upright to prevent spills and line your trunk or truck bed with plastic just in case. 4. Keep items away from children, pets or food products; 5. Containers that are empty and dry can go into your regular household garbage. “If you cannot get to one of the three locations Oct. 2, there are many year-round locations for certain types of hazardous waste,” said Badke. “Chasers Bottle Depot accepts some pesticides, solvents and flammable liquids from residents at no charge year round. Paint leftovers are accepted at Chasers and Interior Freight and Bottle in Vernon, Armstrong Collision and Glass in Armstrong or KBM Autoworks and Towing in Lumby.” For more information about the event, call 250550-3700.

Steadman’s sentencing appeal denied Black Press
Howard Steadman has lost another round in his legal battle. The 56-year-old Albertan, who was convicted in 2008 for helping Ronda Black dismember her husband Keith Black’s body a decade earlier, has had his sentence appeal dismissed, court records published online indicate. Steadman was sentenced to four years in jail for his role in the highprofile West Kelowna murder and earlier this year lost his bid to overturn his conviction. In his most recent appeal, Steadman’s lawyer argued that the sen-
tencing judge didn’t give sufficient weight to the delay in prosecuting him because of Ronda Black’s marathon trial and that he overemphasized the sentencing principle of denunciation. However, the Court of Appeal indicated that the sentencing judge was cognizant of both the fact that Steadman had to wait some time for his trial and that Steadman was a first-time offender without a record and it wasn’t likely that he would be involved again in criminal activity. At the heart of the case, the Court of Appeal indicated, is the concept of general deterrence. “There is clearly a
need to denounce this sort of conduct because it has an insidious effect on the administration of justice,” said the judge, John Hall. “Having regard to what I would call the quite egregious circumstances of the activities engaged in by this appellant, I do not consider that the sentence imposed has been shown to reflect any error in principle.” During Steadman’s trial in 2008, the court
heard that Steadman helped Ronda Black take apart Keith Black’s body in Exshaw, Alta., after the woman showed up at Steadman’s home with her husband’s body in the trunk and their young child in the car. Keith Black’s remains were disposed of in various wilderness locations in Alberta and Ronda later abandoned Keith’s car near Salmon Arm. An exhaustive search was made for Keith after
his vehicle was discovered, but what happened to him wasn’t known until police conducted undercover operations targeting both Steadman and Ronda Black. The Court of Appeal dismissed Steadman’s sentence appeal following a hearing last month, meaning he likely had to return to custody. Steadman had been on bail for much of the time he spent waiting for his appeals to be heard.

Water alert lifted Morning Star Staff
Residents in one North Westside Road neighbourhood can drink out of the tap again. On Monday, the Central Okanagan Regional District lifted a boil water advisory for 270 customers served by the Killiney Beach water system. “Tests of water samples from the system over the past three days have shown no water quality or safety concerns,” said Bruce Smith, communications co-ordinator. The boil water notice was issued Sept. 16 after a malfunction caused the chlorination system to shut down.

Theatre turns the world upside down Runaway Moon flows to a town near you with new puppet theatre production KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
It’s been 10 years since Runaway Moon Theatre has been on the move, but the Grindrod puppet theatre is about to hit the road with its new all-ages show, The World is Upside Down. With the presentation of the community production, Sawllkwa (meaning water in the Secwepmectsin language) that took place at the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre in July, Runaway Moon is returning with another water-related puppet play. However, this play will go beyond Enderby borders to Armstrong, Vernon, the Shuswap and beyond. Known for its grand-scale community and site specific productions, Runaway Moon has scaled down to create an intimate three-person play that can fit into small halls, galleries and black box theatres. “The story explores our relationship with water and illuminates the challenges of working together over geographical and cultural distances with humour and inventiveness,” said Cathy Stubington. A respected puppeteer, Stubington has been staging shows at her own Curly Willow Farm in Grindrod as well as throughout the Enderby area as the artistic and founding director of Runaway Moon Theatre. “The World is Upside Down is a bit of a return to our roots,” she said. “The first production the company did in 2000 was a touring play for three people and puppets. It was a great experience, traveling in the Southern Interior, getting a chance to meet people in many different communities, and sharing with them the magic of puppet theatre. We’re really looking forward to doing it

It was at a community arts conference in Nairobi where she met Jimmy Ouma Okello. The Kenyan performer had been doing similar work to Stubington in bringing arts to their respective communities. Okello, who was invited to B.C. by Stubington, has also been involved in youth empowerment and health education programs in his village of Akonjo, Kenya. “They decided to collaborate and a sort of NGO (non-governmental organization) was developed around them,” said Varrick Grimes, who has returned to Runaway Moon to direct The World is Upside Down. “Both are very strong performers and have skill sets that are informed by their cultural backgrounds.” The show is a reunion of sorts, with Grimes returning to work with Stubington.
Based in Stratford Ont., he is a “travelling” director who works on shows for a number of theatre companies around North America, including Runaway Moon. “Cathy keeps bringing me back,” said Grimes, who directed last year’s The Labyrinth. “Most of my work right now is with four to five specific companies... I appreciate the different values Cathy pushes with Runaway Moon in the sense of her community involvement, focus, and building relationships. In this case, we are literally going out to them. It’s simply a tour, but also having that connection, and making that happen through local community groups and networks, is something I respect.” Along with Okello, Stubington has also brought in El Salvadorian puppeteer Zompopo Flores to work on the show. “They worked for 10 years together, and he’s been back in El Salvador all this time,” said Grimes adding, “We have a great team that also involves (set crew) Molly March, Stephan Bircher and Bev Peacock.”
The play is in English but does use some of the Dholuo language spoken in parts of Kenya and Tanzania. “We have had some challenges with language, but we’re trying to negotiate there. What we want to say is being heard and there is space there for people to find their own journey in it,” said Grimes. “We are working against implicit condescension and getting too righteous.” Using puppets and live music, the play explores themes of water and material possessions. “It’s about water and money and looking how they interact and how money can flow –– you have it, but you don’t really have it –– and how people argue that you need those things to survive... We saw how water was being used in those stories and saw it as a metaphor,” said Grimes. “This story is more about how water is affected by and informed by international relationships. It’s a story about Cathy and Jimmy coming to understand each other and how things have developed from there.” Runaway Moon plans to go to other parts of B.C. and have a few shows already booked in Nelson, added Grimes. “Cathy and I are excited for people who haven’t seen Runway Moon Theatre’s work or haven’t seen puppet theatre before to come and see us.” The World is Upside Down opens at the Kingfisher Hall east of Enderby on Mabel Lake Road, Saturday at 7 p.m. and continues in Enderby at the Drill Hall, Sept. 29 at 7 p.m. Other North Okanagan shows include the Zion United Church Hall in Armstrong Oct. 1 at 7 p.m. and the Timbercreek Hall, on the Splats’in First Nation near Enderby, Oct. 2 at 2 p.m. The current tour ends in Vernon at Gallery Vertigo Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. and Oct. 16 at 2 p.m. Tickets for all shows will be available at the door and cost $12 for adults, $5 for children and $30 for families.

Vernon Jazz Society
The Vernon Jazz Club features another evening of stellar jazz this Saturday with the Ryga Brothers Reunion Quartet, featuring multi-award winning saxophonist Campbell Ryga. Members of the reunion include brother Sergei Ryga on keyboards and vocals, and jazz club veterans Cameron Ward on bass and Scott Gamble on drums. In true reunion style, the evening will be a blast from the past fused with a touch of life experience. “We’ll be presenting a show inspired by the music that was important to us when we last played together in the mid-’70s,” explained Campbell. “The music will be tempered by our collective experiences in music and life since that time.” The band will play music inspired by popular jazz standards and jazz icons such as Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane and Weather Report. There will also be a selection of original material. “The foundation of my playing approach would be rooted in the music of the late ‘40s through the ‘50s and ‘60s. In short, the bebop era,” added Campbell. Since those early days, Campbell has gone on to a prestigious international career, receiving three Juno Awards, two additional Juno nominations, a Grammy nomination, and two Western Canadian Music Awards for jazz. He tours extensively, performing primarily in Western Europe and Latin American, including six consecutive appearances at the Havana International Jazz Festival. Campbell has also contributed to more than 70 jazz recordings, including the recent Deep Cove with renowned New York pianist Renee Rosnes. Deep Cove was nominated for a 2005 Juno Award and received the Western Canadian Music Award for Most Outstanding Jazz Recording. Campbell is on faculty at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, acts as a clinician and adjudicator, and has sat on the jury boards

Renowned jazz saxophonist Campbell Ryga reunites with his keyboard playing brother Sergei at the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday. Both men grew up in the Okanagan and are the sons of late Summerland author/playwright George Ryga. for the B.C. Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts. In 2010, he was inducted into the Envisions Jazz Festival Hall of Fame in honour of his considerable performing accomplishments, which Vernon fans will get a taste of at the gig. “We’re expecting a very interactive and fun evening of music,” said Campbell. “Much will evolve, which we will just naturally let happen musically. We have a lot of catching up to do after all these years.” Sergei performs regularly with the Blue City Trio, which just released the CD Empty Boulevards. He also composes, and some of his original compositions will be featured at the gig. As the music teacher at George Elliot Secondary School in Winfield, Sergei conducts two large jazz bands, three concert bands, and a choir.
Ward backs up local performers and visiting artists on his string bass and electric bass. Besides straight-ahead swing and bebop, Ward enjoys playing Latin styles and funk. Gamble is a first-call drummer and percussionist who is comfortable in any style. This summer he performed at five outdoor festivals, opening for Chilliwack with the Sleddogs and playing to an audience of 7,000 with his KISS tribute band. Gamble was named the B.C. Interior Music Award’s 2006 Musician of the Year.

Millennium trilogy begins here Vernon Film Society
The Vernon Film Society will be showing the first film in the Millennium trilogy Monday. The second and third movies in the series will be shown later in the season. The three novels by Stieg Larsson, who died suddenly at age 50, have become a worldwide phenomenon with more than 20 million copies sold. Larsson, a journalist who fought for human rights and against right wing organizations, introduced us to one of the most intriguing women in contemporary literature –– Lisbeth Salander (played by Noomi Rapace) –– a 20-something, troubled, strong, independent, and multi-pierced computer hacker. The male lead in the movie, Mikael Blomkvist (played by Michael Nyqvist,) is a disgraced muckraking, but still idealistic journalist. How these two come together to solve the 40-year-old mystery of a missing girl evolves into linking a series of grotesque murders over

The patriarch of a prominent, though dysfunctional family, who are at the centre of the story, is determined to find out the fate of his lost great-niece before he dies, even though it may rock the family’s world of power and privilege.

PUZZLE NO. 203
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - A friend who has been beneficial for you previously is likely to be so again. This person may be the one who initiates things for you, but you’ll play the key role in the end.
ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 203
HOW TO PLAY: Fill-in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once. Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: you must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box. 100201 6

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Devote all your effort to your most important project, because whatever you do is likely to go more smoothly, and will come out better than expected. The bigger your endeavor, the luckier you are. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Friends you chill with are likely to be luckier for you than usual. At least one among them will do something for you that you’ll find to be extremely kind. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Try to go the full distance, because your luck could turn out to be in proportion to your staying power. Even if you’re doing something you never did before, stick with it like nougat on the roof of your mouth. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Focus solely on the positive aspects of what faces you, and it will turn out to be extremely rewarding. Your success is predicated mostly on your attitude, so never stop believing to achieve. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - You could be quite fortunate where material things are concerned, so focus your efforts on what you want and/or on sizeable opportunities. There might be more than one prize. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Friends, associates and family will offer to assist you in situations in which they see you are trying hard to T.C.O.B. Ironically, your self-reliance is what will be attracting supporters. ARIES (March 21-April 19) - This could be payback time for you, with more than one person finding a way
to repay you in some kind of equitable way. What you receive in return could be far grander than that which you gave. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Undercurrents are stirring that will help you transform some kind of major hope into a tasty reality. You’ll get the first inkling today that this is happening. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - It’s time to stop settling for second-best and elevate your sights a bit higher. Put forth that extra effort or contact that person who can help you achieve what your heart desires. CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Instead of merely being concerned about what is going on in your life at the moment, begin putting forth whatever it takes to reach that brass ring. This is a good day to get new things rolling. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - If something you’re contemplating could be far easier to execute with the support of others, this is the day to gather the support you need. Talk to those who you feel would be an asset.

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

Moderately Confused
Time for a NEW …
Bridge by Phillip Alder Hobart Brown, a sculptor who died in 2007, said, “Money doesn’t always bring happiness. People with 10 million dollars are no happier than people with nine million dollars.” At the bridge table, though, if you are in a four-level contract, you will be much happier with 10 tricks than another declarer who won only nine. In this deal, you are in four spades. West leads the diamond nine. East wins with his ace and returns the diamond 10 to your king. You cash the spade king, then play a spade to dummy’s jack. There is good news -- the finesse wins; but there is bad news -- East discards a diamond. Now you seem to have one loser in
each suit. How would you continue? North, with that dangerous-looking queenthird of diamonds, was nervous in jumping to four spades, but couldn’t do less with 13 high-card points. You have a discard coming on dummy’s diamond queen. However, you need to take it at the right moment. (Yes, West will trump it, but at the cost of his trump trick.) The critical play comes at trick five. You must lead a low heart from the dummy. How does East defend? If he wins with his ace, you can throw two low clubs on dummy’s redsuit queens. If he plays low, you win with your king, play a spade to dummy’s ace, and pitch
your second heart on the diamond queen. In either case, you have only three losers. Finally, note that if West had held the heart ace, you would have had to start the suit from your hand. But East’s overcall and trick-two suit-preference signal told you which way to turn.

CORY BIALECKI/MORNING STAR
Vipers forward Darren Nowick gets tripped up but doesn’t lose his focus while battling against Penticton’s Troy Stecher Saturday night.
Vipers work for Short KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
The Vernon Vipers went into game five of the B.C. Hockey League season Tuesday night against the winless Merritt Centennials with a chance of landing in a share of second place. A week ago, the two-time defending Royal Bank champions were tied for last place at 0-2 and had some fans on the verge of suicide watch. All was calmer Saturday as the Vipers went to work on a night where workaholic Rob Short’s No. 20 jersey was raised to the rafters, earning a 4-1 victory over the Penticton Vees before 1,939 fans at Wesbild Centre. “It’s totally deserved; he’s a heck of a player,� said second-year and first-star Viper centre Dylan Walchuk, of Short. “He came out every game, all 309 games, and worked the hardest. He’s a really good character guy and I’m just really happy for him. We made him proud. The whole team battled hard, we capitalized on our chances, and came out with a brilliant effort.� Walchuk scored the winner and drew one assist as the Vipers went to 2-2 for a share of third spot in the Interior Conference alongside the Vees, Westside Warriors and Quesnel Millionaires. “We don’t have as many experienced guys as last year, but we have a young, energetic team that works really hard,� added Walchuk. “We’re fast and I think we’re gonna be good.� The Vees, who were without Montreal Canadiens draft pick Mark MacMillan (broken right wrist), opened the scoring on
Bradley Robbins’ goal 6:26 into the first period. Joey Benik, a slick 60-goal man in Minnesota State high school last year, drove to the net and Robbins’ beat Blake Voth with the rebound. The Vipers equalized five minutes into the second period when New Yorker Mike Zalewski pocketed his first BCHL G-note with a nifty tip of a Brett Corkey point shot. Vernon went ahead seven minutes later when Walchuk easily outhustled the Vees’ Stefan Nicholishen for a loose puck behind the net and beat Joel Rumpel with a gorgeous wrap-around. Bryce Kakoske, a 20-year-old local product, wired a low slapper past Rempel from the left point 38 seconds into a powerplay late in the period. Walchuk pickpocketed Troy Stecher behind the Vees’ net and fed captain and second star Dave Robinson (1+2) in the low slot for a shorthanded goal with five minutes remaining. Kakoske, named third star, said there was no sense of urgency in the Viper dressing room as they went into the home and home with Penticton. He said the Vipers were well aware of the ceremony honouring Short. “We all knew it was happening and Shorty’s a great player; he deserved that, and I’m glad we could get the win for him tonight. We’ve got a lot of young talent this year. We have a very quick team and we just gotta show these (young) guys what it’s like to be a Viper.�

The Beaver Valley Nitehawks were 3-0 and feeling jacked as they went into their Kootenay International Junior Hockey League home opener Saturday night. The Nor th Okanagan Knights knocked the Nitehawks down a notch with a 6-1 victory, putting the second-year Knights over the .500 mark at 3-2 for the first time in franchise history. “We had a great start hemming them in their zone for much of the first, but it didn’t lead to many scoring chances – we just happened to capitalize on them,� said Knights’ coach Sylvain Leoene. “Strong special teams play and good finish in front of the net led to a 3-0 lead for us after one period.� Captain Laine Keyes, former Salmon Arm SilverBack Rick Soo and Brodie Clark connected for North Okanagan. The Nitehawks used a great forecheck and good transition game to force the Knights to defend most of the second period, giving up a goal to Tyler Collins. Chris Hurry was stellar in the Knights’ net, making 12 saves in the period. “The third was a strong period for us again,� said Leone. “With a shorthanded goal and a natural hat trick by Shawn Holliday, we minimized their chances and capitalized on ours.� Keyes, a Vernon minor hockey product, said the Knights are gaining success through a nice blend of veterans and energetic rookies. He was impressed with Holliday, also a Vernon minor grad. “The puck found him and he put them in,� said Keyes. “He definitely works hard for his goals, and he was in the right place and the puck got to him.� Soo drew the assist on Holliday’s shorthanded tally. Holliday had an assist on Soo’s goal, while Colin Minardi finished with two helpers. Hurry registered 27 saves, while Zach Peredudoff earned 20 stops in the loss. The Knights took six of nine minor penalties. The Knights are second in the Shuswap Division, two points back of the defending league champion Revelstoke Grizzlies, who they host Friday night (7:00) at Nor-Val Sports Centre. The Knights visit the Penticton Lakers (1-4) Saturday night. Vernon’s Thomas Swales had one assist as the host Osoyoos Heat iced the Princeton Posse 8-3 in a Sunday matinee, while Tanner Burns of Vernon helped set up Connor McLaughlin’s winner as the Nelson Leafs clipped visiting Penticton 3-2.

Wiebe goes low for monster TV Morning Star Staff
NATALIA VIGNOLA / MORNING STAR
Kyle Wiebe ignores the wet weather as he drives in the Canada Goose Invitational Sunday at Spallumcheen.
Kyle Wiebe will now be watching golf on a 50-inch plasma TV. The 27-year-old scratch player won his second Canada Goose Coca-Cola Invitational title Sunday by carding a 1-under-par 70 at the Spallumcheen Golf & Country Club. He opened the $11,000 tournament with a 71 Saturday. “I played good in the rain; I just tried to stay dry,” said Wiebe, tournament co-ordinator at Spallumcheen. “I was just consistent. I hit my irons well and just never found myself in any trouble.” Wiebe, who won the Goose three years ago, made two birdies and two bogeys in his opening round and recorded four birdies while going bogey-free Sunday. He drained a 40-foot putt for birdie on the par-3 15th which “felt really good.” Jeremy Osborne at 143 and Jarrett McNeal at 145, rounded out the topthree finishers. Wayne Schaeffer of Kelowna Golf
& CC won the low net title at 137 (by retrogression). There was a field of 134. J.P. Duranleau took third low gross in the first flight with a 147. Rick Spiller at 152, Brad Chudiak with 157 and Braydon Lutgen at 158, topped the second flight, while Ivan Legrandeur at 163, Dick Rosman with 164 and Jeff Ullyot at 166, ruled the third flight. In the fourth flight, the top-three were Trevor Ovens at 169, Craig Billey with 176 and Doug Jackson at 179. The first flight low net winner was Rob Young at 140, followed by Pat Morgan at 142 (retro) and Jon Gardner at 142. Ryan Hannela with 139, James Carr at 141 and Garth Bergen at 141 topped the second flight, while Phil Duckitt at 139, Hubie Petersen at 140 and Dan Martin with 141 ruled the third flight. In the fourth flight, it was Bill Martin first at 140, followed by Brian Flannagan at 142 and Dave Ingram at 146.
Mowat lands in Viper den Continued from B1 The Vees, who like the Vipers, lost several veterans through scholarships, played a physical tilt and tied Vernon for shots on goal at 26. “I thought tonight was probably one of our better games of the four we’ve played,” said musclefilled captain Derik Johnson. “We kind of changed the momentum in the second with that too many on the ice penalty and they capitalized on one and they got another on a kind of a questionable call but that’s the way she goes early in the season.” Johnson figures the Vees will be more of a bluecollar bunch that doesn’t rely so heavily on the powerplay this year. “When you come into your season with so many of your top-end guys leaving, that’s going to be the case. It’s going to be a race to see who’s going to be the best at the end of the year. It makes coming to the rink fun every day. As long as guys on our team keep coming to the rink, we’re going to be in good shape come April.” The Vipers, meanwhile, signed 17-year-old Vernon product Max Mowat, a d-man who was a late cut by the WHL Kamloops Blazers last week. Mowat played for the Major Midget Okanagan Rockets last year, earning 13-23-36. To make room for Mowat, the Vipers dealt d-man Bennett Hambrook of Kimberley to the Prince George Spruce Kings for futures. SNAKE BITES: The Vipers visit the Spruce Kings Friday night and Sunday afternoon sandwiched around a Saturday night date at The Vault in Quesnel...Viper rookie stud Mark Basara, who is looking for his first goal, ragged the puck in circles through the Vees’ zone for about 15 seconds before going to the net with speed, in a final-minute shift in the second period...Tampa Bay Lightning draft Brendan O’Donnell showed flashes of brilliance on Penticton’s top line with veterans Garrett Milan and Joey Holka.

Camels top Spring Morning Star Staff
ROGER TEPPER PHOTO
Okanagan Spring keeper Mike Zuber beats Vernon Hi-Pro Sportswear Camel striker Al Murphy to the ball with defender Roger Irving looking on in 45+ men’s soccer playoff action Monday night at Marshall Field #3.
Striker Gord Howard was in a cranky mood Monday night at Marshall Field. The former Austrian pro parlayed his extra intensity into a twogoal showing as the Vernon Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels brushed back Okanagan Spring 3-0 at Marshall Field. Howard’s goals were his 29th and 30th of the Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ Soccer League season, and gave the regular-season champion Humpbacks the maximum 10 points under the round-robin playoff system. The second-place Penticton United and third-place North Country Appraisals Kickers of Kelowna battled to a scorless draw in a downpour at Dale Meadows Park in Summerland. Each team earned two points. Howard was surprised when defender Roger Irving giftwrapped him a clearing shot in the second minute. Howard drilled the ball right at keeper Mike Zuber’s stomach. A few minutes later, Al Murphy took a long through ball from defender Jim Mottus and fed Howard, who went low corner past Zuber. Howard, who earned the Leko Precast Man of the Match, made it 2-0 early in the second half with a curling low shot to the right corner, while wide-open defender Ron Krause fin-
ished the offence with 12 minutes left taking a cross from Howard, who had been nicely fed by Rob Parkin. Camels keeper Dave Dutcher made great stops off Mike Lloyd and Chris Reeves. Defender Jim McEwan enjoyed a strong game for the fourth-place Brewers, earning the Funtastic Summer Festival Man of the Match. The Camels meet North Country next Monday night at Marshall, while the Brewers visit Penticton in Summerland. In consolation side action, the Big O Tire Ogopogos clipped the Kelowna Cantina’s Pub 2-1 at soggy Mission 71 Sportsfield. Parm Kler opened the scoring midway through the first half on a great through ball from Mark Wasylyk. Kler broke in and found the low right-hand corner. Wasylyk later broke in on his own and deked the Cantina keeper and touched it in. Wasylyk and Brad Conlin shared the Cialis Man of the Match honours with solid efforts. Lake Country cruised to a 4-1 win over Silver Stars at Beasley Park in Winfield. Kevin Crowley scored for the Silver Stars on a 30-yard shot from the left wing. In Salmon Arm, the hosts ambushed the last-place Rutland Spirit 10-1.

Tyler Riva was great running the ball in the middle for the 2-2 Jackets. “Although the offence did not score, we ran the ball well and got into the red zone three times,” aid Jackets’ head coach Ed Huber. “Defensive standouts were Josh Hyer and Weston Vanderveen. We’re on a two-game losing streak but we’ve learned a lot form our losses and will be adjusting for future games.”

Ross claims fifth Vernon title Morning Star Staff
Tom Ross didn’t go on any birdie binges or anything extraordinary to claim his fifth Vernon Golf & Country Club men’s club championship last weekend. The 43-year-old landscaper shot 76 in the rain Saturday and then produced a 2-under-par 70 in dry conditions Sunday for a five-stroke victory over Norm Kreutz and Greg Betts. “I was just making pars (Sunday),” said Ross. “I didn’t hit the ball well. I knew the guys ahead of me weren’t used to being in that position and nobody’s played a lot this year so it was a crapshoot

The Vernon Marauders upset the host Salmon Arm Broncos 23-12 in Southern Interior Junior Bantam Football Conference action Sunday. Zack Kronbauer scored the first two TDs for the 3-1 Marauders, while Max Chapman pounded in the the third. Trey Isaac was 1-for-3 on converts but did manage to nail a 30-yard field goal to round out the scoring. Carson Labrecque, Jett Carey, Jordan Taylor, Brandon Isaac, Mariah Klien and Jakob LaflammeYonkman provided solid blocking for the offence. The defensive stars were Levi Nicholas with five tackles, followed by Jona Anstey and Carter OlsenStiles with four each. Nyla McPherson, Connor Forrest, Nolan Wessels, Tyler Smith and Hayden McLean were also instrumental in the victory. “Overall the defence played as solid game, “ said defensive co-cordinator Andy Stefansson. “I was especially happy with the efforts of middle linebacker Jacob Mayner, who made a touchdownsaving tackle on the sideline.” Added head coach Ron Kirschner: “This was a real team victory brought about by good solid team work by all of the players.” The Vernon Midget Magnums continued their dominance on the road in Invermere on Sunday by blowing out the Columbia Valley Bighorns 41-18. The Bighorns came out fast, scoring the opening TD of the game on their first offensive drive. Quarterback Keenan Jespersen returned the favor by scoring on Vernon’s first offensive drive by running the ball in after marching down the field in only three plays. Bryce Barker added the convert. The Bighorns responded with another unconverted TD to grab a 12-7 first-quarter lead. The remainder of the game was all Magnums. Defensive co-ordinator Doug Cook had his “Mad Dog D” unit pretty much shut down the frustrated Bighorns for the remaining three quarters. Jonathan Roy and Landon Koenig each recorded a quarterback sack in the second quarter. Roy added his second QB sack while Barker intercepted a Bighorn pass in the third quarter. Koenig finished off the Bighorns with a late fourth-quarter interception, rambling 35 yards for a touchdown, converted by Barker. Offensive co-ordinator Danny Brown called a brilliantly balanced offensive attack that led to another score by Jespersen in the second quarter to give the 3-0 Magnums a 13-12 lead at the half. Jespersen opened the second half with a 70-yard kickoff return for a TD that Barker converted. Game MVP Barker then went on to score two more converted TDs of his own. The Bighorns scored their final major with a precision end zone pass in the fourth quarter. Said Vernon head coach Bill (Lumpy) Tarr: “We came ready to play a very good team and classy-

The championship flight low gross top-five were Kreutz, Betts, John Martin at 151, Steve King at 156 (retro) and Corey Hewko at 156.

Al-Anon offers support KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff
It is estimated that each alcoholic affects the lives of at least four other people. As alcoholics who wish to stop drinking can turn to Alcoholics Anonymous, family and friends affected by their drinking can turn to Al-Anon. When Lois attended her first Al-Anon meeting in 1970, it was a way for her to find some serenity amidst the chaos of her husband’s drinking. “He had started going to AA and I joined Al-Anon,” said Lois, a member of the Vernon Thursday Afternoon 12-Steppers Al-Anon Family Group. “Here was a whole room full of people who understood, who had all walked the same road. “For me, it is a guidebook for life, its philosophies teach me how to best live my life for serenity, contentment and satisfaction.” For more than 55 years, Al-Anon (which includes Alateen for younger members), has been offering strength and hope for friends and families of problem drinkers. Of the estimated 80 million Americans and Canadians affected by someone else’s drinking, most will not get help for themselves and many will never even realize that they could have benefited from some insight into the problems caused by another person’s drinking. “Our only requirement for joining is that there be a relative or friend with alcoholism. What the philosophy of Al-Anon is that we look within ourselves, and it’s a program that teaches me that I am responsible only to me and I have no business or influence in anybody else’s life except my own. I am responsible for myself and my actions.” Lois’ husband passed away three years ago, but she admits that her grieving began years earlier, when she realized the man she had married was an alcoholic. “I shed buckets of tears because I discovered that I didn’t really have a husband. He was an alcoholic for 20 years before quitting,” said Lois, of the man who had been her school sweetheart. For Lois, attending weekly meetings is still a part of her routine because she said it keeps her fresh and she enjoys encouraging new members, all of whom find common ground with each other.

An Al-Anon member looks over some of the group’s publications during a Thursday meeting. While there is not currently an Alateen group in Vernon, Lois said teens are welcome to any Al-Anon meeting. “We have a lot of literature available, as well as a lending library for members, and we have put a few books into the public library as well.” For the past 35 years, the Vernon Thursday Afternoon 12-Steppers Al-Anon Family Group has been meeting to share understanding, support and hope. One of four Al-Anon groups in Vernon, the 12-Steppers meet Thursdays at Trinity
United Church at 1:30 p.m. To celebrate, the 12-Steppers Al-Anon Family Group is having a pot luck lunch Sept. 30 at noon, followed by the regular meeting at 1:30 p.m. If you choose, please bring a plate of finger food to share. “We’re hoping to reach those people who used to attend meetings but no longer attend, so we’d like to welcome people back.” For more information, please contact Lois at 542-6570 or Marion at 250-5459228.
Rose garden winds down id-September and the days are getting shorter. The decorative plants we used all summer are reaching the end of their life span. The Hospice House rose garden Fred Lyall is rapidly losing its colour, and mildew is setting in. We do spraying to prevent mildew, but some of the sprays we are allowed to use are not very effective. I would like to draw your attention to
REMEMBER…
some of the volunteer work that happens at the Hospice grounds. There are some ladies that drop in and do a lot of weeding. Another lady does a lot of planting of small items that are very attractive. Somebody planted a very nice incurved cactus dahlia. They do their work very quietly and deserve a big applause for their effort. Speaking of dahlias, if you are in the Lower Mainland, be sure to visit Ferncliff Gardens, where they have about 200 varieties, all labelled. They vary in size from a three-inch diameter to as large as 15 inches, in all colours of the rainbow. A fellow who moved in from
Saskatchewan bought a house that had a very large grape plant. He called me to seek advice on a few other items that he had not grown in Saskatchewan. He did not believe in commercial fertilizers. But after a lot of pruning to greatly reduce the overgrown grape, he reluctantly agreed to give it some food and he fed it a good dressing of 10-52-10 granular around the root area. He is really amazed at the large bunches of grapes on the vine. My guess is that they are Concords, dark blue and full of seeds.

Ancient fruit for the ages omatoes are the world’s most popular fruit. I know most people think they’re vegetables, but not so. Tomatoes are rich in vitamins A, C and E. They are high in fibre, potassium, calcium, as well as being a great source of antioxidants. Tomatoes were first cultivated by the Aztecs and Incas around 700 AD. From there they were taken to Europe around the 1570s, and from Europe, they spread worldwide where today there are more than 10,000 varieties. And here’s a tidbit that might interest some of you: eating tomatoes (fresh, canned or frozen) on a regular basis can reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer by 43 per cent. I still have my tomatoes and sauces to preserve for the winter and am hoping sunshine will replace this wet and cool weather we’ve been experiencing so that the many fields of tomatoes in our area will be fit for picking this week. Today I have a basic tomato sauce recipe which is excellent fresh, frozen or canned. The second recipe is a delicious vegetarian stuffed pepper, which uses tomato sauce, rice and cheese.

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.

It’s holiday shopping with a difference Morning Star Staff
A group of Vernon residents has a new way to do holiday shopping this year. The Lasting Gift Society provides the opportunity to purchase gifts with a twist — donations to local and international charities at a fair that gives people a chance to learn more about the organiza-
tions they want to support. The fair, to be held Nov. 27 at a location to be announced, will highlight local charities and organizations as well as provide awareness of other cultures and international charities. The Lasting Gift Society was started by Melanie Abbot, Niki Knight, Teresa Bowers, Laura Schutz and Cory Abbot.
“We came together to create this society because we recognized the need for an alternative to the material Christmas,” said Schutz. “Instead of buying or receiving gifts that we do not need, we can buy gifts that that will have a positive impact on someone else, either in our own community or around the world.”

This chronic acid state creates an internal environment that promotes many preventable diseases including osteoporosis, arthritis, hormonal problems, indigestion and even cancer.”

Judge sides with government in B.C. HST case TOM FLETCHER Black Press
A B.C. Supreme Court judge has rejected former premier Bill Vander Zalm’s claim that harmonizing the provincial and federal sales tax is a violation of Canada’s constitution. Vander Zalm hired Vancouver lawyer Joe Arvay to argue that B.C. can’t surrender its authority to collect taxes to Ottawa, because to do so would be a form of “taxation without representation.”
Arvay also pointed out that the Atlantic provinces passed specific laws to authorize the HST, but the B.C. legislature only passed a law to repeal its seven per cent provincial sales tax. Without the explicit consent of the B.C. legislature, Arvay argued that the HST contract between Ottawa and Victoria is invalid. B.C. government lawyers responded that the 12 per cent HST is not the imposition of a new tax, but rather a modification of the
existing tax that combines administration in the national interest. In his decision, Chief Justice Robert Bauman, of the B.C. Supreme Court, agreed with the government. “I accept that the HST is taxation for a national purpose with the aim, as submitted by the respondents, of building a stronger economic foundation for Canada and achieving administrative efficiencies,” Bauman wrote. As for the suggestion that the HST is
provincial taxation without provincial representation, Bauman said this is a matter of “political, not legal concern.” Bauman added that while he finds the HST to be a constitutionally sound effort to improve the tax system and the economy, “I am in no way passing on the merits of the scheme and whether it will achieve its goals. “That burden of proof is for others to bear and the electorate to test,” the judge concluded.

I have parts of my body that will not respond to diet and exercise . Is there anything non-invasive that i can do to shrink my trouble spots?
Yes, absolutely the Lapex 2000 Lipo Laser targets your adipose tissue (fat cells) with a cold low level Laser that shrinks fat cells resulting in guaranteed inch loss! During a 40 minute session, approximately 50 gramms of fat (400 calories) is released from your trouble spots. With no recovery time you will also experience more toned and firm skin, as the laser promotes collagen production. The Lipo Laser is a great way to jumpstart any healthy lifestyle so you can feel and look your best!
Q: A:
How do you get the best returns from a promotional product?
Follow trends in a proper manner. Do not ignore trends and hypes when it comes to purchasing a promotional item. This also applies to conventional brands. Ordering every year the same engraved fountain pen could eventually work against you. Fewer people write with a fountain pens these days. Order a current type pen, this is suited better nowadays and still gives the authentic appearance you’re looking for. As a Purchaser of gifts, it is important that you take into account the seasonal and fashion trends. Don’t neglect on this element, most promotional product dealers are generally not trend setters but trend followers. They simply sell their range of products from the manufacturers, which are usually are not very exciting and do not excel in originality. Visit us on the web at www.hiprosportswear.com
Q: A:
How do I get the most out of my home ...without spending a fortune?
It’s not too uncommon to see homes new to the market with dated features such as flooring (even stained carpets), lighting fixtures, paint colours or even wallpaper. Paint is by far the cheapest improvement and can make a dramatic difference. Neutral colour schemes will appease most Buyers. Buyers will be comparing other properties in the same price range, so if these comparables have more updates and show better, it’s likely the home that’s dated will fall to the back of the pecking order. If no improvements are done and a home remains dated, then the price should also reflect the improvements needed to be competitive in the market. Most Buyers will remember what they disliked about home vs. what they liked. Remember, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. Call me for a free Marketing Analysis of your home and how to get the most value from it without spending a fortune.

Q: A:
You can’t make your new JOB bulletproof. You can make your CAREER bulletproof: First, continue with ongoing professional development, and build expertise in your chosen field as a generalist and a specialist. Regardless of economic conditions, the top people in any field are never unemployed. Second, maintain your network of professional contacts. This will keep you current on changing conditions, trends and opportunities, and ensure that your industry contacts and colleagues remain informed about your accomplishments. Third, help others in your field. You never know when someone will have an opportunity to repay a favour!
Q: A:
Before you open yourself and your family to potentially a dangerous situation, police say it is vital for you to do your homework. Hiring help and welcoming a stranger into your home can be a scary situation. The minute you open your front door to a Handyman or Contractor, you become vulnerable. Once inside, opportunists can get the layout of your house, then they will most likely locate places where they can break-in and pinpoint the location of your bedrooms. Before you hire someone, do your homework. The peace of mind is well worth your time. Email or phone us to get the “Worry Free Checklist” for hiring a contractor - questions to ask to reduce the risk & give you peace of mind

Q: A:
The pipes in my house rattle and shake every time I use the washing machine or flush the toilet. What is the cause of this?
This is a common problem called “Water Hammer”. This problem often occurs when a valve closes suddenly and the fast-moving water running through the pipe is stopped instantly. This will cause a shock wave in the pipe. As a result of this you will hear a “hammering noise” and the pipe will shake. This problem can be quite bothersome and can also cause damage to your plumbing pipes and fixtures. Water hammer arrestors will help eliminate this problem. They are a small pipe like device that can be easily installed to absorb shock and reduce noise. Installation of the water hammer arrestor also helps prevent further damage to pipes and fixtures.

What should I look for when hiring a contractor?
Although funds can be withdrawn from an RRSP at any time, you should consider the following: The RRSP withdrawal will trigger a tax deduction at source; a $20,000 withdrawal will result in 30% being withheld and remitted to the Canada Revenue Agency, leaving you with only $14,000 after tax cash. The $20,000 withdrawal will be added to your income for the year. This extra income may move you into higher tax bracket resulting in higher tax costs. The withdrawal will have an impact on your retirement nest egg. Based on a 4% return, a cash withdrawal of $20,000 on your 45th birthday cost you about $45,000 in lost interest over the next 20 years.

B.A. Mortgage Specialist
Q: A:
I hear that Property Values may continue to come down slightly over the next few months …. do you think I should wait before buying?
This has been the question posed by many over the course of this last year. It is not a simple answer – “should we continue to wait for house prices to drop further or should we jump in with both feet and buy”? Ultimately, this becomes a personal decision. However, the waiting game doesn’t always pay! Trying to predict the Housing Market is no simple task. It is like trying to predict the Investment Market – the buy low and sell high strategy. History tells us that the average person is not very good at this. Now, there are markers out there that can guide you with your decision making – Interest Rates! Interest rates are at historical lows, adding significant savings over the term of your Mortgage. These savings compared to the potential price drop in the housing market may even themselves out. For every 1% increase in your rate, you could pay up to $9800 more (based on today’s 5 year rate assuming a 300,000 Mortgage). So, do we wait to save $10,000 in a possible price drop to potentially gain another $10,000 in an interest rate increase? The clear answer is “no”! The Market is low all around. These are the opportunities that every astute investor looks for - the ability to get in at the right time. There is no crystal ball but it is important to look at the Market, and yes, at your own situation before making your final decision to buy.

Mary Elenor Lust was born on October 16th, 1925 in Calgary, Alberta and passed away peacefully on September 17th, 2010 in Vernon, B.C. at the age of 84 years. She will be lovingly remembered by her son; Ken (Laura Gluckie) Lust, her two daughters; Judy (Dave) Haywood and Deb (Barry) Schick, her grandchildren; Roberta, Olivia and Hudson Lust, Tyler and Tanya Haywood and Jodie, Toni and Ali Schick, her brother; Bev (Shirley) Biggar, her two sisters; Wilma Dawson and Joan (Ralph) Cawthorn, her sister-in-law; Marie Lust as well as numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends. Mary was preceded in death by her husband; Fred in 1999, her sister; Ruth Bruce and by her parents; Charles and Jessie Biggar. Mom moved with her family to a homestead in the Dawson Creek area when she was ďŹ ve. During her younger years, she made life-long friends and had numerous wilderness experiences which she later compiled into a book. A city girl at heart, she was happy to move back to Calgary as a young adult where she fulďŹ lled her dream of becoming a hairdresser. In later years, mom enjoyed painting, pottery, crafts, crocheting and singing with the Sweet Adelines. Mom found great strength in her family. Her brother, sisters, children and especially her grandchildren helped her through some rough times and gave her great joy and encouragement. She was an inspirational woman who taught us compassion, forgiveness and how to be a strong, close-knit family. Cremation preceded a Celebration of Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Life which will be held at Bethel Funeral Chapel on Friday, September 24th, 2010 at 1:00 P.M. with Mr. Brian Jackson ofďŹ ciating.
