Motorcycle hits pedestrian Morning Star Staff
Members of the Vernon RCMP detachment are investigating an accident between a motorcycle and a pedestrian that happened around 12:10 a.m. Friday at the intersection of 41st Street and Bella Vista Road. A short time before the accident, police had noticed the motorcycle in the area of 30th Street and 31st Avenue. When the officer attempted to check the driver for a motor vehicle infraction, it took off from the police. “Our officer did not pursue
the bike for safety reasons,” said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. Officers patrolling in the area of 41st Street and Bella Vista Road came across the accident involving the pedestrian and the motorcycle. Witnesses were on the scene when police arrived. “The pedestrian was lying on the road badly injured and the driver of the bike had run from the scene,” said Molendyk, adding the bike involved appeared to be the same one that was spotted earlier. The 49-year-old male vic-
tim was transported to Vernon Jubilee Hospital and remains in hospital with multiple serious injuries. Police were able to arrest a 50-year-old man several blocks away from the crash site a short time later. Vernon RCMP are asking those witnesses that were at the scene of the accident to please contact them at 250-545-7171. “The officers know several people left before they could speak to them because they were dealing with the injured victim,” said Molendyk.
The 400-pound bear could have easily taken little Teddy the terrier out with one swipe of his massive paw, but instead the large beast high-tailed it in the other direction. Weighing in at a mere 22 pounds, Teddy may be small but he’s got a big bark and a lot of courage, which he recently displayed. Anne Ross was working in her Newport Beach garden a few weeks ago when she was surprised by the large bear. With nothing but a garden hose to defend herself, Ross turned the water on the bear. “But it was a hot day and I think he enjoyed the water.” Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, Ross saw a little blonde streak whizz by. It was Teddy, a dog she obtained from the SPCA a few months earlier, going after the intruder in the yard. “He broke through the screen door to get to the bear,” said 71-year-old Ross. Ross thought the worst as she watched the bear stand up on its hind legs at Teddy. She called for her beloved dog, but couldn’t see him behind the bushes. “Then there was dead silence and I

Anne Ross’ dog Teddy may be small, but face-to-face with a bear he managed to chase the animal away.
“He wasn’t even scared.” — Anne Ross thought, ‘oh no.’” She watched the bear turn into the bushes and surely, she thought, the bear had killed her dog. But much to her surprise, and pleasure, Teddy came back. “All of a sudden he came marching out of the bushes like he was saying, ‘I took care of it mom, everything’s OK.’
Do you believe in MIRACLES?

“He wasn’t even scared.” The bear, on the other hand, had been scared off by Teddy’s small bark and has since kept his distance. “He lets me know now when the bear’s around and the bear stays away from my door,” said Ross. Ross thanks the SPCA for connecting her with Teddy the rescue dog. She had gotten Teddy as a warning dog to let her know when people are around, but Teddy has proven to be a guardian angel to Ross, plus a great friend.

News Salmon make record swim home ROSEANNE VAN EE Special to The Morning Star

TOM SKINNER PHOTOS
A record number of salmon are making their way home to the Adams River this year. Crews from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (below) work on the river, trapping fish in nets, weighing and tagging fish behind the dorsal fin, and then returning them to the river to spawn. lar home bed, they fight for their piece of the river and their chosen partner. Males bite and grab others flinging them away. This creates lesions that infect with fungus. Females will chase away competitors after their mate or territory. The females make a depression called a redd in the river bed by fanning away pebbles, sometimes for days with their tails. Then, when the light is low, both male and female will descend into the redd, the male excitedly smacking the female’s lateral line enticing her to drop out a thousand or more orange eggs. The male sprays his fertilizing milt and quickly they swim up fanning pebbles to cover them up for the winter. Over the course of a week or so, the pair may make two to three other redds repeating the process. Finally, eggs laid and fertilized, the couple succumb to their injuries, infections, starvation and fungalfilled gills. This isn’t the end! The exhausted and emaciated spawned-out sockeye, flop over and slip away with the current. Bears, gulls, eagles and
innumerable bugs feast on the carcasses. What remains decomposes and drifts further downstream eventually nutrifying the lake. The following year, the fry ride the river freshets down to the ocean for more food and to mature. So, if you want to witness this spectacle, head over to the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre 25 km east of Enderby for their annual Thanksgiving Egg Take Oct. 9 and 10. The community-based centre started off in 1980 as a salmon egg hatchery in response to the near extinction of salmon stocks in the Shuswap River. Since then, they have developed into a watershed enhancement society with an interesting educational outdoor facility hosting great salmon events for schools and the public throughout the year. Further up the road, northwest of Salmon Arm, the Adams River Salmon Society is hosting their quadrennial Salute to the Sockeye mega celebration at Roderick Haig-Brown Provincial Park. Over 100,000 spectators will gather along the lower Adams River shores to cheer on the
spawners and see demonstrations and displays. The three-week party, from Oct. 2 to 24 includes music, art and food. Opening ceremonies are today and are supposed to top all previous ceremonies in the park. Biologists will be on hand to answer questions. You can also watch researchers tag and monitor the fish. The final tally of Adams River spawners will only be known once they’re through. You’ll want to witness this massive run. It may be our once-in-alifetime chance.

John’s Tip of the Week. Wool Carpet Wool carpet is non-toxic, non-allergenic, does NOT support bacterial growth, puriďŹ es indoor air and reduces energy usage. It also has the ability to regulate the humidity of an interior as it absorbs moisture when the atmosphere is damp and releases it when the atmosphere is dry. Wool maintenance might be easier than you think. With wool’s unique and complex ďŹ ber structure it releases soil up to 25% more readily than synthetic carpet.

They find their way back against the river’s current to where they were laid as eggs only three to five years before.

ver 30 million four-yearolds are running to their beds. Seriously! We’re talking about this year’s massive quadrennial Pacific Sockeye salmon spawning run up the Fraser watershed. Whatever accounts for this fall’s unexpectedly record-breaking (since 1913) Sockeye run numbers, whether it be changing ocean temperatures, well planned resource management practices, natural cycles, or who knows, one thing is for sure – it’s guaranteed to entertain. Locals don’t have to go far to see this world-class entertainment, either. Once up the Fraser and Thompson Rivers, these fish fight, jostle for position, mate and die right before our eyes at places like the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre on the Shuswap River, and at the Adams River at Roderick Haig Brown Provincial Park. These desperate Sockeye lose their lives in an unimaginable feat for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to mate. They don’t even eat on this up to two-month long journey. All energy and instinctual drive is to spawn (mate). Their struggle is so taxing that they succumb to their efforts only days later. Everything is mysteriously extreme about this deadly, liferenewing ritual. During the summer of their fourth year, the mature Sockeye Salmon start migrating to their home rivers. Hormones miraculously transform their silver-blue

greet residents and visitors. All the work was done in the dark, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Kowaluk came forward in 2009, saying he had money he wanted to put towards a beautification project to help celebrate the 50th anniversary of Nurseryland. Communities in Bloom provincial judges visited Vernon and the North Okanagan in the summer. Baumbrough said judges were
impressed with the area right from the start, awarding Vernon four blooms out of a possible five. “We just missed a perfect five by mere percentage points,” said Baumbrough. “The judges said Vernon was one of the friendliest communities they’d ever been to. They said they felt comfortable here from the moment they arrived to the moment they left.”

Vernon schools facing slight growth spurt KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff
Enrolment projections for the Vernon School District are made in February, but it’s another half a year before the true numbers are known. The district must submit its enrolment numbers to the Ministry of Education by Sept. 30 each year. The ministry funds the district according to the number of students in the classroom. In addition to enrolment numbers, the district is required by the School Act to submit its class size and composition report, detailing the number of students in each class, from kindergarten to Grade 12. At a special meeting Wednesday, district superintendent Bev Rundell presented the report to trustees. “We’re up 35 students in kindergarten, which is a very positive trend for us as a school district,” she said.
“We’re a bit higher in Grades 4 to 7. ” — Bev Rundell For kindergarten to Grade 1, the maximum number of students allowed per class is 22. Currently, the district average is 18.7. For Grades 1 to 3, there is a maximum of 24 students permitted per class; the district currently has an average of 20.9. “When we do our staffing in the early spring, we look at all of the anticipated enrolment and see what happens, and we have added 2.5 elementary teachers,” said Rundell. “When people ask for transfers from one school to another, we have to look at the numbers.” Some schools, such as BX, are growing at such a rapid rate that
Outhouse goes missing Morning Star Staff
Lumby RCMP are keeping an eye out for a missing outhouse. Rouck Brothers Sawmill on Highway 6 reported that someone stole the log outhouse that they’ve had for sale in their lumber yard all summer. “It would require at least four people and a pickup to remove as it’s quite heavy,” said Lumby RCMP Cpl. Henry Proce. The culprits cut the neighbour’s fence in order to get close enough to steal the little building, valued at $1,900. If anyone has any information regarding the theft, or has seen the missing outhouse, you can call the Lumby detachment at 250-547-2151.
it can’t open the doors to any students from outside of the catchment area. In Grades 4 to 7, where the class size must not exceed 30 students, the district average is 27.4. “Our numbers are fairly similar to last year, although we’re a bit higher in Grades 4 to 7, with an average of 27.4 compared to last year’s 25.8.” At the secondary level, there are now 41 classes with more than 30 students. “Those classes over 30 students require consultation with the teachers. Certainly some classes, such as leadership, band or PE often will have more students in the class.

Heirlooms
“But we also look at composition, so if there are kids who have individual education plans, we will look at whether or not there needs to be some CEA time or some extra teacher support through learning resource teachers
as well. “There are some classes we still need to look at, and some students who are still being identified, so we look at how we can support the teacher in the classroom and that goes on all year.”

Jim Garlick, mayor for the District of Coldstream, and Herman Halvorson, chair of the Regional District of North Okanagan, look over the plans for Middleton Mountain Park while enjoying the view.
Park takes advantage of the view Morning Star Staff
Middleton Mountain has one of the best views in the North Okanagan, and now Greater Vernon residents and visitors have somewhere to go to enjoy the view and the natural grasslands surrounding it. Middleton Mountain Park, located in Coldstream on Mt. Ida Drive, is a nature lover’s oasis that is peppered with recreational amenities including tennis courts, a beach volleyball court and crushed gravel trails. The park trails meander down the mountain in several directions through some pristine natural areas, providing great opportunity for wildlife viewing and bird watching. In consideration of the local water conservation efforts the
park was planted with drought tolerant native plant species. Middleton Mountain Park is the newest addition to the family of parks in the Greater Vernon area and is already being well enjoyed. “This is a project that was pushed for by a number of residents in this neighbourhood. I am glad we have been able to work together with them and higher levels of government to provide this asset to the entire community,” said District of Coldstream Mayor, Jim Garlick. Funding for the development of Middleton Mountain Park was provided, in part, by the federal and provincial Towns for Tomorrow program, which was aimed at helping B.C. communi-
ties act on their infrastructure needs, while creating jobs and supporting the economy. The property for the park was leased by the North Okanagan Regional District from the Vernon School District, and Herman Halvorson, chair of the NORD board of directors, recognizes their involvement. “It is the contribution of the School District 22 that made this project possible. Allowing the regional district to lease this property for park has opened it up for our citizens to enjoy.” NORD, the District of Coldstream and the City of Vernon are working collaboratively to enhance the quality of life in our communities through parks and trails. Therefore the community is encour-
aged to get out and enjoy them. What better way to spend an autumn afternoon than exploring trails or having a picnic while you enjoy the scenery of our beautiful valley. For more information on parks in the North Okanagan visit www.rdno.ca.

Major mechanical and electrical equipment continues to arrive and the work crews are running two shifts to keep up with the schedule. The curbs and islands that will create the upper

The countdown is on, with only one year until the new Polson Tower at Vernon Jubilee Hospital opens. Construction crews are well on their way to completing the building on time and on budget. As the project enters its final year of construction, the public’s feedback is being sought on how crews and staff are doing. A quick survey is available at www.buildingpatientcare.ca As you can see if you drive by the hospital, the scaffolding is now gone from the exterior of the building and it’s becoming apparent what the building will look like when it is completed. The foundation and columns for the ground floor link between the existing hospital and the new Emergency Department have been poured, and the structures that will form the walkways between the two buildings at the second and third floors are under construction. The work to link the two buildings was very complex and involved working in and around patient areas over the summer. The work went well thanks to the commitment and perseverance of Interior Health staff and physicians and the Graham Construction crews, both of whom worked well together to minimize any affect on patients. “We also want to thank our patients who were very understanding as the work was underway,” said a VJH representative. The interior of the new tower is also starting to look a lot like a hospital. The ground floor where the ER will be is almost complete.

Driving the point home
A
s someone wise once said – “the world is your classroom.” Actually it was probably a teacher who wanted to go outside on a sunny day instead of stay inside teaching science to a bunch of eighth graders, but nevertheless it’s stood the test of time. And as I begin to teach my oldest son the joys of driving over the past three weeks, the saying keeps running through my head, as in when other drivers help to provide examples for me to show my son, well, of how not to drive. To say people have been helpful in providing examples of poor driving habits would be a huge understatement. Glenn Mitchell Like for instance: ■ The woman who pulled out of a parking spot near Discovery Centre as we approached without even looking over her shoulder. She waved after to thank us for driving defensively and acknowledging her mistake, or maybe it was to say your welcome for the driving lesson tip in real time. ■ Or the guy in the truck who blew through the four-way stop as we were approaching at almost the same time. He was turning right and not really affecting us but it showed how even though virtually no one comes to a complete stop at four-way intersections, it is important to do so and could save you from a possible collision. Oh yeah, plus it’s the law. ■ Or the senior in the middle of the roundabout who stopped and waved us through as we were waiting to enter the traffic circle. Um, that was nice of you, but totally wrong as I explained to my son. When you’re already in the circle you have the right of way, as I explained to my son again later when a driver sailed through in front of us as

she entered, barely slowing down to see if anyone, like us, was already in the circle. Another great reason to approach with caution and drive defensively, which was ironic because he was hesitant to try out the roundabout and I was trying to argue that they are safer than four-way stops and most times everybody gets through safely without even stopping. But now he knows what to look out for. ■ Or the guy who refused, or forgot, to utilize his blinker in the left-turn lane as we entered the intersection from the other way, wondering if he was going to try and turn in front of us or was going to change lanes and go straight through. ■ Or the guy who blew past us on the straight stretch on Bella Vista Road even though, as my son noted, we were going slightly above the speed limit as it was, which we shouldn’t have been. ■ Or the time when we were driving for the first time at night and someone was right on our, well, butt, for several blocks as I tried to explain to a driver with two-week’s experience that the ‘L’ on the back of our car should keep people from doing that kind of stuff but you never know so...... ■ Or even last Tuesday when we were heading to early-morning hockey practice (but not before 5 a.m. cause that would be against the rules), promptly backed out of our driveway into the cul-de-sac and were greeted by a pair of deer looking like they were guarding all the territory over their shoulders. After a quick speech on unpredictable behaviour, we slowly moved forward and they bolted into the neighbour’s yard. Perfect lesson on wildlife in slow motion. So I’d like to thank all the people, and wildlife, who helped with my lessons in Driving 101 in September but if it’s cool with the rest of the world I’d like to move on to examples of good driving in October. OK, class?
Concerns about public cash going toward procedures at private medical clinics aren’t without merit. The real concern, however, shouldn’t be where procedures take place, but ensuring the latest innovation in the system doesn’t facilitate queue-jumping. The lengthy wait times for things such as surgeries and MRIs are well-known and often publicized, which is why the province is putting $23.5 million toward funding more elective surgeries and MRI scans. The money is the first portion of $250 million ($80 million this year; $170 million in 2011) in targeted, pay-for-performance funding designed to drive innovation and greater efficiency. Some suggest the government is merely playing a shell game with funding that could just as easily have gone to health authorities earlier. But the province’s effort is to put more focus where it belongs — on patients, rather than the system — and ensure people get access to the best care as quickly as possible. Simply pouring more money into the system isn’t going to accomplish that, as past experience has shown. Health budgets have spiralled, with little effect on the long waiting lists that have real, tangible and often painful impacts on patients in need of care. Certainly, this latest attempt to minimize waits and maximize the efficiency of a dollar requires carful monitoring, but so long as everyone is kept in their rightful place in the queue, what does it matter if a patient gets his knee repaired in a public hospital or a private clinic? The biggest concern for the patient is that his knee gets fixed as soon as possible. That should be the biggest concern for the province as well. — Black Press

Council has medieval mindset
I
was shocked and disappointed when I picked up my Morning Star and saw that Vernon city council had turned down a proposed bylaw which would prohibit exotic animals from appearing in circuses and public displays in Vernon. I had to look at my calendar to see what year it is! Both Kelowna and Salmon Arm passed bylaws in 1999 and became the 13th and 14th municipalities in B.C. to enact such laws at that time. I was part of a citizen's group that convinced Salmon Arm city council to enact that bylaw. Eleven years later Vernon council is still living in the dark ages, except for one councillor, the progressive and compassionate Buffy Baumbrough. How anyone (including most of Vernon's councillors) could think that seeing an elephant or any other exotic animal in a circus could bear any resemblance to an animal living in the wild, is beyond imagining. Circus elephants, as well as other performing animals, spend most of their lives on the road and in uncomfortable cramped enclosures when not performing. If you've ever gone behind the scenes when COLUMN BANG ON Bravo Katherine Mortimer for your last (and exceptionally well-written) column re: council’s missed opportunity to ban circus animals from coming to town. Also thank you Buffy for having the courage to be the lone voice on city council in favour of prohibiting exotic circus animals from coming to Vernon. Bob Spiers’ argument that if we ban it here it will just go somewhere else, like Armstrong, is like saying that if we ban child slave labour here in B.C. then it will just go somewhere else, like Alberta, we may as well not bother. Quite a slippery slope! The other councillors talk about how these animals are an education for their children but observing a penned and caged animal at a circus who is gawked at, moved from town to town, and is never able to roam is not an accurate representation of who these animals truly are in their natural habitat. I realize that most of the council members come from a different generation but now a days we can observe these animals on television, on DVD, or on the internet. Elephants especially are sensitive, sentient beings with a social
the circus comes to town you would see how the elephants spend their "leisure" time. You will see neurotic animals rocking back and forth and chained by one leg to a stake in the ground. The circus might look like fun to the uninformed, but it is no fun for the animals involved. Teaching children that it is OK to exploit animals for entertainment sets a terrible example. There are many ways that children can learn about animals in the wild without taking them to a circus to see animals who bear hardly any resemblance to their wild relatives. There are also a growing number of travelling circuses that do not use animals in their performances. Council seemed to think that there are already provincial and federal laws in place to protect exotic animals in circuses and travelling shows. Unfortunately this is not the case. It is up to each municipality to enact laws regarding these events. I truly hope that Vernon council will soon leave behind their medieval mindset and enter the enlightened age of the 21st century by joining the growing number of B.C. municipalities that have already enacted these much needed bylaws. Joan Chadwick
order and highly developed communication skills, very similar to our ocean friends, the whales. Perhaps council members could actually do some research and educate themselves about these wonderful beings, who they feel it is OK to keep penned, caged and transported in substandard conditions for their amusement and “education” by a company that has a history of animal rights violations. Most of all councillors need to open their hearts and imaginations to what it would be like to be a caged travelling exotic animal. That’s called compassion. Sandra Shore MINISTER RESPONDS I was most disappointed to read public comments made by NDP MLA Harry Bains about the intersection of Highway 97 and Bailey Road. The recent accident at that location was a tragedy for the family involved, and to them I offer my most heartfelt condolences. Safety is always our first priority. Following the accident, as is the standard practice with any serious accident, a thorough review was done. In fact I asked for, and my staff delivered, a comprehensive engineering safety review of the
intersection. In addition we have been in regular contact with the family’s representative and have followed up on the very thoughtful suggestions presented to us. I have visited the intersection and have seen first-hand the improvements underway and the plans for more to come. For Mr. Bains to question the sincerity of my ministry’s commitment to safety in general, or our commitment to the family in particular is outrageous. For Mr Bains to use a tragic circumstance in this way is most unfortunate. The staff in my ministry are professionals who deliver outstanding service to British Columbians. I am immensely proud of the work they do and the integrity they bring to their jobs every day. Shirley Bond Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure FALSE THREATS Why would Mr Harper announce to all Canadians that there is still a huge threat of a terrorist attack in Canada. That would be like a teacher on the first day of school saying to the new students that bullies are a real threat at this school and that we should be worried.
Well, I think that the message should be that as a nation we need to continue to work together, embracing all cultures, working on being better Canadians and adopting a less aggressive foreign policy. When our leader announces that a threat is imminent, what can normal Canadians do about it anyways, except for live in fear. Is that what our leader wants? I don't think that's what Canadians want. Fane Triggs CONGRATULATIONS IPE I would like to commend the Interior Provincial Exhibition and Stampede committee for orchestrating an excellent event for the 111th time, this year! It's great to see the fruition of all the hard work and effort that Armstrong's committee pours into providing a top quality rodeo for the residents and visitors to Armstrong. The amount of time and effort required to coordinate everything from the parade to all the activities on the grounds is enormous. I'd like to say that I'm proud to represent a committee so dedicated to bringing professional rodeo and other activities to the interior of British Columbia. I would like to thank Shirley Fowler, Bryan
Burns, Darryl Tucker and the rest of the volunteers for making my wife, daughter and myself feel so welcome. Rob Brietzke Canadian Professional Rodeo Association

Christian radio station signs on air Morning Star Staff
Listeners in the Armstrong area found a new radio station on their dials at the end of August. VOAR (Voice of Adventist Radio) programming includes Christian music, news, children and women’s programs and programs like Focus on the Family, It Is Written, The Country Gospel Show and Voice of Prophecy, as well as many others. The station broadcasts seven days a week, a re-broadcast through a Bell Express Vu satellite dish using the municipal tower. VOAR has been broadcasting from Newfoundland since 1929 and is heard across Canada. “Wh e n yo u hear the weather in Newfoundland, you’re really happy to be here,” said Pastor Cameron Koronko of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church is Armstrong which is sponsoring the new programming. “We are very pleased as a congregation to be able to offer this to the community. This content is of interest to all people of the Christian faith. We saw a need in the community for this kind of content and we have had a good response to it.” The congregation has been working on the project for over a year to add the station to the 22 others in the province. “I was extremely excited when I drove home from the tower the first time. I started calling people to determine the cover-
service workshops on the healthy lifestyle, including vegetarian cooking, smoking cessation, depression recovery, and family relationships. VOAR can be found at 89.3FM in Armstrong, Silver Creek at 101.3, and Cherryville at 94.1. For more information on the Armstrong Christian Family Radio or Seventh-Day Adventist community service workshops call the church at 250-5468555 or see www.voar. org.

New president for Funtastic Morning Star Staff
There’s been a change at the top of the Funtastic executive. Wilf Mulder has stepped down as president after two years in the role. Brett Kirkpatrick was elected president at the Funtastic Sport Society’s annual general meeting. “I think it’s going to be an exciting year ahead,� said Kirkpatrick, a lawyer at Davidson Lawyers in Vernon. Kirkpatrick “We’re going to continue the good work that’s been done by the Funtastic Society, and we’ll continue on generating economic funds for the community.� Other changes to the board include two new faces and two past board members. Rick Dubois, who led the society for five years, and Diana Williamson, a past society secretary, both return to the board. Dubois is the first vice-president while Williamson is again the secretary. New board members include Diana Mahortoff, who accepted the position of treasurer, and Roel
van de Crommenacker, who will serve as a director. Returning executive include Cindy Masters as second vice-president and Sanda Simao as third vice. Steve Maloney, Mark McMurphy, Tim Reardon, Darcy Sochan and Paul Van Hooydonk return as directors. The new board is planning a two-day retreat this month. The Vernon and District Funtastic Sport Society is a community-based non-profit group established in 1985 with a mission to improve the access to sports and recreation in the North Okanagan. The event Funtastic Sport Society hosts each year brings more than 4,500 participants together for a fun, slo-pitch tournament and music festival. Now in its 27th year, Funtastic has contributed more than $1.1 million back to the community and generates more than $4.5 million in economic benefit through the annual event.

With 20 fire-related deaths in the first three months of 2010 alone, residents are being urged to create a plan of escape in the event of a fire. Everyone is encouraged to execute their plans on a province-wide fire drill Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. In support of Fire Prevention Week (today through Saturday), local fire departments are urging residents to take part. “Take the time to walk around your house,� said Kevin Dalgarno, fire prevention officer with the BX-Swan Lake Fire Department. At 6:25 p.m., test your smoke alarm, locate two exits, make a plan and practice your escape with
your family to get out and gather at your meeting place. “Hopefully what happens is at 6:30 everybody will wander out and get to know their neighbours,� said Dalgarno. Anyone with questions on their fire plans is welcome to contact their
local fire department. “We’re more than happy to gather and share our information with the public.� You can register your support at www.safeathome.ca/drill. Complete your family escape plan, practice it, then print out your personalized

News District feeling good after UBCM Morning Star Staff
It has been a busy and productive UBCM conference for the District of Lake Country. After listening to council and the Lake Country community’s concerns about the change in service, BC Transit officials met with council and MLA Norm Letnick to again present their case and request that changes be made to bring the transit services back to an acceptable level for Lake Country users. The meeting was very positive and BC Transit officials acknowledged the problems and decided to work on solving the issues. A review of the new routes and schedules will be done in the next few days and options will be considered. Council also met with Ida Chong, Minister of Healthy Living, to express concerns over the request from the health officer to apply water filtration to all water systems in Lake Country. Lake Countr y

reasonableness across the board. Pat Bell, Minister of Forests and Range, met with council and announced that the issue of lease lots sale versus the public interest of water protection was heard and that a decision was made not to pursue the sale of reservoir lots to cottage owners in fee simple. Bell told the delegation that both Letnick and MLA John Slater were strong advocates of local governments and water purveyors and very instrumental to a solution in favour of the public interest. “This is great news,” said Mayor James Baker. “We are very thankful to the minister, and our hard working MLAs for their understanding and support.

would have to spend in the neighbourhood of $60 million in order to comply with the request. A second concern stems from the fact that other health officers in the province are not as strict when it comes to water filtration requirements. “A glass of water in Lake Country is the same as a glass of water in any other part of the province” said Coun. Noreen Guenther to the minister. Chong acknowledged that inconsistency is not acceptable and that safe water is a primary objective and assured the Lake Country delegation that the ministry will work with Interior Health and other health authorities to bring consistency and

step forward to ensure water conservation and provision is well looked after for the benefits of our citizens and our agriculture activities.” Lake Country also discussed the issue of pine beetle impact in areas like Spion Kopje and Allison Lake and the minister assured that he will work with his staff to address Lake Country’s concerns. Letnick participated in all the meetings and council felt very positive about their work at this year’s convention.

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 continue with Water Main flushing. Over the next two weeks flushing will occur in the following areas: • •
Duteau System (customers previously on the Antwerp System) – From Aberdeen Road east including all of Lavington. Duteau System – North and South BX, East Vernon, Old Kamloops Road, Blue Jay Subdivision, Stepping Stones and Swan Lake.
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 a reduction in water pressure and sediment or discoloration of the water. 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 • Brushing teeth
• Washing fruits and vegetables • Making beverages or ice
• 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

Helen Schroth will be the first to admit that she doesn’t understand how the pendulum works but she knows she can count on it to tell her which food she should and shouldn’t eat if she wants to stay healthy. “The proof is in how I feel. I was diagnosed with colitis 14 years ago and had so much pain and trouble. I had some allergies and tried not using those things but I still was not well,” she said. At the time, she and her husband, Fred Schroth, were running a bed and breakfast and one of their guests told Helen about using the pendulum to test food and other products that she might be allergic to. Helen was intrigued. “It works the same way water witching does and people know that works. It’s simple to use. You ask it for your personal positive, negative and neutral movements, which are different for each person. Then you hold it over whatever you want to test. Some people can use it to find things by using it over a map,” she said. “I started using it right away and found out what my allergies were and I have not had any trouble with colitis for six-and-a-half years unless I forget to test the food. I use it wherever I go, in restaurants and for shopping for food and clothes. I wouldn’t be without the pendulum for anything.” She was reminded of the importance of using the pendulum recently when she did not test food at a restaurant while on holidays and was hospitalized for a week and needed a large blood transfusion. She emphasizes that the use of the pendulum is specific to individuals and what is fine for one person may not be good for another. She uses a pendulum that Fred made but said any small, heavy, pointed object on a string or chain should work. “There are so many people with allergies and they are going through hell with them and this is something that could help people and can’t hurt them so I wanted to share it. I tell people about it and some try it and find it helpful. I don’t think I would be alive today without the pendulum.”

Boredom is not an option
o much is going on in this city that it is hard to keep track of all the activities. September seems to be a tonic that generates so much energy. Or maybe the crisper weather is responsible for all of us waking up from our summer lethargy and wanting to get going before winter arrives and closes us in. Whatever the reason, events are numerous and wellattended. The Okanagan Science Centre’s “Aging Well – Ten Pat Black New Ideas for All Round Health” with Dr. Mary-Ann Murphy of UBCOkanagan was a packed house with seniors and associates enthusiastically learning about rights of the older person, ageism and attitudes and the advantages of multigenerational interaction. Murphy tells us that given the Okanagan’s ideal climate and reputation as a safe and healthy place to live, it is inevitable that more and more seniors will immigrate here.

Murphy is offering a course for those interested in studying more about aging, together with younger students, by joining an intergenerational classroom at UBC Okanagan in January 2011. Those over 65 can take advantage of UBC’s policy of free tuition and if you want to know more about this contact Murphy at 205807-8795 or e-mail mary-ann.murphy@ ubc.ca.

Annie Hainstock celebrates her 100th birthday Oct. 4.
Annie shares her ‘secrets’ BY TERRENCE MONISON
Special to The Morning Star
How often have you heard, or thought of saying to someone: “May you live to be 100 years old.” You are not alone in that regard as the phrase permeates all cultures. It heralds the rare human achievement of becoming a centenarian, a person who is not only 100 years of age, but also the carrier of the secrets to longevity itself. Annie Hainstock is just such a person. On Oct. 4, 2010, Annie will be 100 years of age. Annie’s secrets are nestled in the themes that have pervaded her life: roots, love, activity, family and a warm heart. Annie was born Oct. 4, 1910, in Saskatoon and was the oldest of five sisters, two half-sisters and one half-brother. Her roots were deep in the Canadian Prairie. Raised in Swanson, Sask. on a farm, she worked from 1926-1933 as a cook and housekeeper for different families in various communities in the province. Hard work and self-reliance shaped Annie’s early life and have persisted to this day. She is the embodiment of the adage: “You can take the person out of the Prairie, but not the Prairie out of the person.” In 1933, Annie met
and fell in love with Reg Hainstock from Harris, Sask. They were married in 1934. She and Reg moved to Port Perry, Ont., where Reg worked in a mill. In 1936, they moved back to Harris and started farming in the Kinley, Sask. district. Their son, Donald, was born in September 1936 and their daughter, June, in 1944. Annie and Reg were deeply in love and married for 68 years. From “snow birding” in Arizona to grandparenting, they did everything together. They even managed the occasional “debate” about the world around them. Reg passed away in 2002 but the flame of his life burns ever bright within Annie to this day. It may sound strange to say, but Annie was born active. During their farming life in Saskatchewan, Annie raised chickens for meat and eggs and

She had a large vegetable garden and canned 600-700 jars each year. To top it off, she hand-carried water by pail from a well on their property. To this day, Annie bakes cookies, bread and donuts. Annie and Reg farmed in Saskatchewan until 1977 when they moved to Vernon. Annie still lives in the same condominium they purchased. Ever active, Annie can often be seen walking two blocks to the store to get her groceries.
Annie is the matriarch of a large family. She has two children, four grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. To say that she keeps tabs on their comings and goings is an understatement. Of special and endearing importance to her are her son Donald and his wife Edith and her daughter June and her recently deceased husband Myron. Together with Annie, they form an unflinchingly supportive and nurturing family. Annie’s final secret is not really a secret at all. It’s having a warm
heart. Whether a member of the immediate family, a distant relative, a friend or a person in need, one will always find in Annie an unassuming, open, joyful and warm-hearted person. Her friends and family celebrate Annie Hainstock: a newly minted, vibrant and wonderful Canadian centenarian.

Brian Windsor has a little laugh with team skip Rick Folk (above right), while Cheryl Bernard urges her sweepers Friday during the $72,000 Twin Anchors Houseboats Curling Classic.
Folk throwing strong at age 60 KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
He’s a youthful looking 60 who is still a superb shot maker but kind of stands out with one of those Made-In-Saskatchewan corn brooms. “I’m kind of like a dinosaur,” laughed Rick Folk, moments after making shot rock for a 7-6 Friday afternoon win over Sven Michel of Switzerland. “I can’t get rid of the corn broom. It just feels right. I don’t know how many more years it’ll last.” Folk, a two-time world men’s champion out of Kelowna, is among a big list of former world winners in the $72,000 Twin Anchors Curling Classic in Vernon. He has Dennis Graber at third and a front end of Brian Windsor and Bill Johnson. Folk is impressed by the improved play of the international rinks at the cashspiel. “Definitely, every year they’re getting sharper. They’re playing more and they’re getting younger. They played a good, solid game. They made a few mistakes and so did we.” Folk and company will take a run at a provincial seniors title this year (they were runner-up in 2010) while playing a few men’s cashspiels. He loves going up against the best young curlers out there. “It does (get you inspired). This time of the year, at least for us, it’s the first time on the ice so it’s good to get out there and when you’re playing against some of the best, you can’t be floundering out there too much.”
Folk brushed off Vernon’s Jim Cotter 9-4 Friday night, recording four in the seventh end. Folk and defending Classic and world champion Kevin Koe of Grande Prairie were among six rinks at 2-0 going into Saturday action. Cotter, who throws skip rocks for three-time Classic champion Bob Ursel, had former world junior champion Ryan Kuhn at third with Ursel sidelined with a knee injury. Cotter defeated Team Korea (Dong-Keun Lee) 4-3 in his Friday opener. “It was a bit of an adjustment for sure, being our first game of the year and Ryan’s sparing for us,” said Cotter, 35. “He played absolutely phenomenal and it was a good all around game.” The men’s side, which was upped to 24 rinks from 16 this year with first place worth $8,000 and second $6,000. Monday’s final is set for 3 p.m. On the women’s side’s, defending Classic and Olympic silver medalist Cheryl Bernard of Calgary reeled off three straight wins before falling 5-3 to Nicole Backe of Nanaimo in Friday night’s late draw. Former Classic and world champion Kelly Scott of Kelowna and Russian Olympian Luidmila Privivkova were undefeated going into Saturday draws. Bernard earlier outlasted Marla Mallett 7-5 of Langley, iced Satsuki Fujisawa of Japan 7-2 and iced Kristy Lewis of Richmond 8-0 in four ends.

Minardi clutch in OT Morning Star Staff
Colin Minardi’s goal at 2:13 of double overtime gave the North Okanagan Knights a 3-2 win over the host Sicamous Eagles Friday night. The Knights improved to 5-3 heading into a Saturday night home date with the Kamloops Storm in Kootenay International Junior Hockey League action. “Colin chipped it off the wall, picked up his own chip, fought off a defender, drove to the net and chipped it over the goalie’s (Aaron Brandoli) shoulder; it was a great individual goal,” said Knights’ head coach Sylvain Leone. It was the veteran Minardi’s third goal of the season. Corbin Marcotte scored shorthanded midway through the first period for the 3-3-0-1 Eagles, and then made it 2-0 on a powerplay with seven minutes left in the second. Marcotte has three goals on the year. Rookie Patrick Chore netted his fourth goal of the year on a Knights’
powerplay with 6:31 left in the third, assists going to T.J. Dumonceaux and Michael Keyes. It was Chore’s fourth goal of the year. Former Salmon Arm SilverBack Rick Soo forced OT with an unassisted tally with 2:52 remaining, his third of the season. Chris Hurry was brilliant in a 36-save showing for the Knights, who once again had a slow start. “We’re confident and we think we can beat anybody on any night and we think we can come back in the third period,” said Leone. “That’s part of being young and inexperienced.” Brandoli, a Vernon minor hockey product, made 16 saves. The Knights host the Kelowna Chiefs next Sunday afternoon at NorVal Sports Centre. In other Friday night play, it was: Revelstoke 5 Spokane 2; Osoyoos 6 Princeton 6; Penticton 4 Kamloops 1; Kimberley 3 Kelowna 1; Castlegar 5 Beaver Valley 2; Creston Valley 5 Columbia Valley 4 (OT).
This would be a year to go and really enjoy the year and we all love PEI so it would be a lot of fun to get there. We love it here because we usually have a good run, the ice is great and the weather outside is better than home.” Bingyu (Betty) Wang of China, who turns 26 next Thursday, is now a veteran of the Vernon cashspiel. Her rink also got off to a 3-0 start, icing Vernon’s Jennifer Gerow 11-0 (four ends) in their opener. “Four years ago, we played the cashspiel and we learned so many things from there and we try again and again against Canadian teams and we’re still learning from them,” said Wang, who earned loads of fans with her smile and shot-making at the 2008 Ford World Women’s Championship at Wesbild Centre. Bronze-medalist at the Vancouver Olympics, Wang spent the summer as an exchange student at the University of Wisconsin and loved the cheese.

Scott slammed Desiree Schmidt of Cranbrook 11-1, bounced Karla Thompson of Kamloops 8-2 and edged Brette Richards of Winnipeg 7-6. The women’s final goes today at 3 p.m. with the winner pocketing $7,500 and the loser earning $5,500. After a hectic winter, Bernard and her rink of third Susan O’Connor and front-enders Carolyn Darbyshire and Cori Morris stayed away from the sport for a few months. “We actually had the most awesome summer we’ve probably had in five years,” said Bernard, an 44-year-old insurance broker. “We didn’t touch the ice until September. I went away on an African safari. I think we needed a break. It was a super long few years and last year was a ton of curling so it was a little slow start this year but it was nice to have the summer off. “The safari was amazing. It’s life changing to go to Africa. I’ve always wanted to go and see those animals not behind bars, in the open. Elephants are my favourite so it was pretty incredible.” Bernard, dubbed by the Chicago Tribune as a ”sex symbol” during the Olympics, said the team learned a good lesson as they faced a barrage of post-Games requests. Handpicking where they showed up became the norm. As for this season, the Cowtown ladies would love to spend Feb. 19-27 in Charlottetown at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. “One of the things we haven’t done is win a Canadian and I think that would be really good.

Smokies get by Vipers Morning Star Staff
The Trail Smoke Eaters clipped the Vernon Vipers 3-2 in double overtime in a wild and wacky B.C. Hockey League game Friday night at Cominco Arena. Sam Mellor, the BCHL’s leading pointgetter, scored his 13th goal of the year with 21 seconds remaining in the second overtime as Trail improved to 8-3 atop the Interior Conference. Veteran Graeme Strukoff grabbed a loose puck in the Viper zone and found Mellor into open space. Mellor froze goalie Blake Voth and buried a backhand into the open net. The dramatic goal capped a thriller that had a little bit of everything, including a penalty shot that had to be re-taken. Thirty-two seconds into the second overtime, referee Andrew Guest assessed the Vipers’ Malcolm Lyles a penalty for goaltender interference, even though replays showed that Lyles had been pushed into goalie Kiefer Smiley. The Smoke Eaters selected Travis St. Denis to take the shot. He out waited Blake Voth at the goal mouth and scored, while the Vipers protested that St. Denis was ineligible because he had not been on the ice when the penalty was assessed. The referee waved off the goal, saying that he was on his way to hear the Vipers’ argument while St. Denis was on the move. He then allowed St. Denis to take the shot again. Voth stopped St. Denis on the second attempt. “Ferns (head coach Mark Ferner) looked at each other at the bench because we knew St. Denis hadn’t been on the ice,” said Viper assistant coach Jason Williamson. “It was like icing the kicker before a field goal. It was wild.” The game went to overtime after John Knisley’s re-direct of Aaron Hadley’s pass at 8:44 of the third period.
#311, 3700-28A STREET
“I thought Hadley was pretty good,” said Williamson. “For a young kid playing close to home, he had a very strong game. They have some big, tough defencemen back there and he’s a horse. You’re not going to come out with the puck against him in the corner.” The Vipers used some aggressive penalty killing to stop the Smokies on two 5-on-3 power plays. Dylan Walchuk opened the scoring with a short handed goal. He forced a turnover at the Trail blue line and fed Trevor Fitzgerald, who drew the lone Trail defender to him and slipped the puck back to Walchuk, who flicked a backhand past Smiley. Trail equalized when Strukoff blocked a high clearing attempt and bulled his way toward the Viper goal. His rising shot went over Voth’s right shoulder into the top corner. Trail went ahead at 15:22 following a Viper turnover at the Trail blue line. Steve Weinstein pinched, but had the puck bounce over his stick. Steve Oursov headmanned to Dylan Tappe, who tried a pass to Oursov in the Viper zone, but instead shot over Voth’s glove hand. Scott Jacklin was one-on-one with Voth and swept across the goal crease before going backhand, but Voth stayed with him with seconds left in the second period. Late in the third, with the game 2-2, Knisley and Mike Zalewski broke into the Trail zone with one defender back. Knisley’s pass was deflected by Zalewski at the goalmouth, but Smiley stacked the pads and blocked the rising shot. “It was a good game,” said Williamson. “We probably deserved to win, but it is what it is at the stage of the season. We got a point on the road against a pretty good team. The effort was there.” The Vipers hosted the Cowichan Valley Capitals Saturday night and entertain the Quesnel Millionaires Wednesday night.

Hofer’s heroics boost Fulton Morning Star Staff
Lucas Hofer returned a kickoff 67 yards for a touchdown with 40 seconds left as the Fulton Maroons outlasted the host Salmon Arm Golds 32-30 in a thrilling Southern Interior Junior Varsity Football League game Thursday afternoon. It was 16-14 Fulton at the half in a tilt which saw Clark Richardson score on five- and 82-yard rushes and a 48-yard fumble strip and recovery. Austin Richardson booted four two-point converts, while Clark Richardson registered two singlepoint converts.
“Clark Richardson had an absolutely fantastic game and scored twice early,” said Fulton head coach Mike Scheller. “He is a great kid who works hard in practice and it’s nice to see him succeed.” Scheller said the Maroons had problems adapting to Salmon Arm’s unique style offence which made for a dull opening half. Clark Richardson carried the ball 17 times for 159 yards, while Sean Greene had five touches for 16 yards.Austin Richardson completed three of six passes for 62 yards.

CORY BIALECKI/MORNING STAR
Andrew Sellars of Vernon heads into the first corner of the six-hour enduro mountain bike race last Saturday at Ellison Provincial Park.
Corners support Maroons Continued from B27 Matt Eso and the Richardson brothers each had one 15-yard reception. Hofer led the Maroons with nine tackles, while Kyle Smith, had seven and Eso and Bryce Dulaba each earned six. Enrique Quuantalla and Greene registered four apiece. The intensity picked up in the second half and it turned into a very entertaining game with the Golds getting their offence rolling and grinding out some TDs. Hofer returned the late kick on a great individual effort and Austin Richardson earned the two-point conversion. Salmon Arm had had four cracks at the end zone with deep
passes in the final seconds. “Hofer had another stellar game on defence for us, making tackles everywhere,” added Scheller. “Corners Kyle Smith and Matt Eso stepped up and tackled well in our run game. Nose guard Brandon Powers had a great second half, collapsing their O-line. Linebacker Sean Greene also stepped up and made some good plays for us.” The Maroons also got solid efforts from O-lineman Kacey Smart and Tanner Bishop. Layne Greene saw his first real action at quarterback and played well for the Maroons. Fulton hosts the Valleyview Vikings Thursday (4 p.m.) at Grahame Park.
Panther girls sizzle Morning Star Staff
The VSS Panthers had another great junior girls league night Thursday on their home court, beating the Kalamalka Lakers 2-1 and sweeping the Seaton Sonics 2-0. The Cats started the first game trailing Kal 14-0, but with great serving from Quinsey Leier and hits from Danika Damini and Avery Bridge, they almost took it back, but bowed 25-19. In the next game, the Panthers came out strong with 13 straight serves from Jesse Hembling while Damini added a couple of dueces and an ace and followed through with a couple of hard hits in a 25-8 win. In the tie-breaker game, Damini and Hembling continued to lead the Panthers with more serves and hits, while Leier added some heavy smacks and blocks taking the game 15-7.

October is Canadian Library Month, and the Okanagan Regional Library (ORL) is honouring this annual celebration by asking the public what they would like to see in their local library services. Throughout the month, the ORL will be conducting telephone and web-based surveys, focus groups, and Facebook discussion groups as the first step in developing a strategic plan to guide the library region’s service in the coming years. The ORL’s last comprehensive strategic plan was completed in 2003. — Lesley Dieno “Changes are so fast now that we need to check with library users and taxpayers to find out if we are keeping up with their changing needs and wants,” explains ORL executive director Lesley Dieno. The strategic planning process, which covers the entire ORL region from Golden to the U.S. border including 29 branches, involves a thorough audit of the library’s usage, a research review of best practices in other libraries, and staff input. During October, the ORL will gather public input through a variety of means. Throughout the region, 1,000 households will be randomly sampled and asked to participate in a 10-minute telephone survey, and six focus groups bringing together people of various demographics will be held in communities served by the ORL. Additionally, all members of the public are able to provide feedback through an online survey and Facebook discussion groups that will go live Tuesday, Oct. 5. “All of this information will help guide us – what types of programs should we enhance and which aren’t valued, where do we focus budget and energy?” said Dieno. This year’s Canadian Library Month theme is Your Library: Your World: Opening Doors to the Future, emphasizing the ways that libraries are entry points to knowledge and new ideas using both traditional and emerging technologies. There are approximately 23,000 librarians and library clerks working in over 22,000 various libraries throughout Canada, and two-thirds of Canadians have a public library card. In the ORL region, Canadian Library Month will also be celebrated with a tour by children’s author Margriet Ruurs starting Oct. 12, ORL speakers at Okanagan Institute events in Kelowna and Vernon, author Caroline Woodward speaking at Vernon and Salmon Arm branches, and many other events; check www.orl.bc.cafor details.

The first thing people want to do when they see Tyrell is to pet him but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the last thing they should do. The beautiful black Labrador is a canine vision dog guide and any distraction from his work could endanger his owner and him. Gail Pifer has had Tyrell for two years since Independent Living Vernon helped her get him through the Lions Foundation of Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sightless and he aids me in going places, making sure Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m safe and walking where I should inside and outside. I can take him anywhere. Once heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been shown a route by a sighted person, I can say the word he was taught for that route and he will find it. I can rely on him,â&#x20AC;? said Pifer, who lost her sight in one eye in a work-place accident five years ago, then the sight in the other eye in what is called a sympathetic response. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more accurate than a GPS. When we get off the bus, I tell him where we are going, to an office or store, and he goes there.â&#x20AC;? Tyrell was trained through the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides program. The program breeds the dogs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Labradors, golden retrievers and standard poodles for people with allergies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and places them in foster families when they are eight weeks old. They go to school five says a week and then do more specialized training. The training for a hearing ear dog guide (recognized by an orange harness) can take up to two years. The foundation, based in Oakville, Ontario, also trains special skills dogs (recognized by their black leather harness), seizure response dogs (recognized by their yellow harness), and autism assistance dogs (recognized by a maroon harness). It costs $20,000 to raise and train each dog and they are supplied at no cost to people across Canada who need them. Pifer spent three weeks in school with Tyrell in Oakville. The graduation exam involved being dropped off and having to find his way back to the school. She brought Tyrell home in August 2008. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has adapted very well but we have a lot of struggles in Vernon with accessibility. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confusing for him where there are no sidewalks and every intersection is different here and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to find pedestrian islands in intersections,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some business donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow dog guides even though they are required to do so by law.â&#x20AC;? She gets a lot of questions about Tyrell, like where could people buy a dog like him, is he blind because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a har-

One thing he does do that seems amazing is being able to find people for her once he knows the scent to associate with the name â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Pifer can tell him to find her boyfriend in a crowded place and Tyrell will go right to him and bring him back. It is important for people with dogs approaching her to tell her they have a dog and where they are.

life B The love of a loyal companion â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I have a dog with me, on your left,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; for example because I will not know what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reacting to in trying to protect me. He will not let me go anywhere where there is something that could harm me or let anyone harm me if he can help it. People should not approach him or pet him without my permission because he is working and needs to concentrate on what he is doing,â&#x20AC;? said Pifer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People assume that you know what they are doing to your dog but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. The dog is part of my mobility and distracting him is like taking control of someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wheelchair without letting them know.â&#x20AC;? Tyrell, three, also helps Pifer at home. Once when she was shoveling snow, she got turned around and he walked her back to the door and he checks the floor so that there is nothing that she can trip over. He has found her Chihuahua/ Yorkie puppy when it wandered away and he likes to sleep with the cats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having Tyrell has given me self-confidence and security and his companionship is a very important part of my life. He works hard but he also has his play time. He is always learning and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always learning with him. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken him on the bus and the plane, where he curled up tiny under the seat. He means my independence. I would be a shut-in without him. I would never have been able to come out of depression without my loyal companion.â&#x20AC;? Pifer and Tyrell will be in the Independent Living Vernon Dogs for Independence Walk Oct. 17. The walk is to raise awareness of dog guides of all kinds and their importance to people with visible and invisible disabilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The dogs are accepting of people with disabilities and we hope that people are able to do the same. Therapy dogs help people with a variety of disabilities, including anxiety, and we want people to know how much the dogs do in our community. Our 2011 calendar will feature dog guides in the community,â&#x20AC;? said Lisa Kongsdorf, executive director of Independent Living. Dogs for Independence takes place Oct. 17 with a pancake breakfast from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. at the People Place and the walk from the People Place to Marshall Field and back starting at 9 a.m. There will be a prize for the best dressed dog at the event and a chance for the dog to be in the Independent Living Vernon 2012 calendar. There will also be a dog/owner look alike contest the day of the event (bring photos to enter). The registration fee is $20 with participants collecting pledges. The money will go to the Lions Foundation to help raise and train dog guides.

3CREENING HELPS TO TAKE PEOPLE @"EYOND THE "LUES Morning Star Staff
As the leaves fall, so can peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moods. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why October is good timing for the 16th annual Beyond the Blues: Depression Anxiety Education and Screening Day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Summer holidays are long over, families are immersed in school and work schedules and stress. Weather and daylight changes mean people may not connect with friends or get exercise quite as often. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a perfect time to work on prevention, catch mental health problems early and connect to local help,â&#x20AC;? said Sarah Hamid-Balma, director of mental health promotion for the Canadian Mental Health Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s B.C. Division and
provincial coordinator for Beyond the Blues. Beyond the Blues takes place during Mental Illness Awareness Week Oct. 3-9 to help people learn more about depression, which affects about one in three in a lifetime, and anxiety problems which affect one in six, as well as related issues like suicide and risky drinking. A free information night takes place at the Vernon library Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event is anonymous, confidential and walk-in. There is a chance to do activities and learn about treatments, support and self-care and talk privately to a clinician.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;A huge focus of Beyond the Blues is to provide a friendly and engaging space to help people start conversations about their mental health and help them know of the supports in their community that can help. We want people to leave our events feeling empowered, better informed, hopeful and supported,â&#x20AC;? said organizer Susan Myhre of the CMHAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vernon Branch. The event is open to everyone, whether or not they are depressed and anxious themselves, so that they can learn to recognize signs and know the resources to be able to help family or friends if necessary. For more information, call Myhre at 250-542-3114.

What you believe does matter
“
In talking about religion, if you’re well known, anything you say sort of ticks off a bunch of other people and sort of attacks their belief. So I always try to say that, first and foremost, I think that whatever anybody believes, as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else, it’s fair enough and works.” — George Clooney First off, let me say I actually like George Clooney and I appreciate that he is sincerely trying Dave Bootsma to be careful not to offend anyone. However, in trying to be tolerant and non-offensive, he has just offended the majority of the world. No religious person, no Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Animist, Christian, and even atheist for that matter, can agree with that statement. In saying that whatever anybody believes is “fair enough and works” is the same thing as saying what you actually believe is ultimately irrelevant. I find that very offensive. There are many others who say similar things: “It doesn’t matter what you
KEEPIN' THE FAITH
believe.” I wonder if they ever stop to think about how arrogant a statement like that is. On what mountain are they standing that causes them to be able to look down and see that all religions ultimately teach the same thing, hold the same value and lead to the same destination? What knowledge do they possess which all the rest of us lack that they can make such an absolute statement? “OK, but in the end what difference does it make? If your beliefs work for you, fine. Just let me believe whatever I want.” Should we just allow people to continue to believe that the world is flat, that the Holocaust never happened, there’s no such place as Paris, that it’s OK to have 20 wives, just as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone? If your spouse was having an affair, but no one told you for fear of hurting you, that may “work” (eg. keep you from being depressed, committing murder or suicide, from being distracted or unproductive), but is it actually “good” for you? Don’t you have the right to and desire to know the truth? And if you were required to cover the truth in order not to hurt someone else, how do you know that others aren’t doing the same to you? How do you know whom to believe
or trust? Are we truly better off? Is it really better to live a lie? The fact remains that you cannot hold to the beliefs of one religion without rejecting or denying the beliefs of another. And what you believe is absolutely essential. When Jesus said, “he who believes (in me) has everlasting life,” he also means that whoever does not believe will not have everlasting life. Not surprisingly, therefore, before they were called Christians, followers of Jesus were called “believers.” Ultimately what set them apart from the rest of the world was not their morals, but that they believed that Jesus was the Son of God, who died and rose again. The question, therefore, that we need to be asking about belief and religious claims is not, “Does it work for me?” but “Is it true?” “We need the truth,” writes theologian Dr. Myron Penner, “not because it makes us feel good or makes our lives easier, but because ultimately we cannot live without it. Ultimately the Gospel ‘works’ because it is about what is true, what is good and what is beautiful.” Dave Bootsma is a professional Christian counsellor and life coach. He can be reached at 558-5730 or newbeginnings@ telus.net.
Program seeks grads with a passion for food Morning Star Staff
When Garrett Mellon was looking for a job after graduating from university in Taiwan, he found himself a little closer to home. Thanks to the grad@Loblaw program, Mellon is now assistant store manager at Real Canadian Superstore in Vernon. He had worked at the Kelowna store while finishing up his graduate thesis for his MBA, and enjoyed working with the company. “The structured schedule and training provided has prepared me for any challenge that may come in the future,” said Mellon. “I wish to stay in the company and build my career as a store manager; my experiences will only help me to obtain this goal as I can now draw upon resources from all over Canada. My experience from this program, combined with my education, has set me up for success with any company in the future.” The grad@Loblaw program offers college and university grads a full-time position and the opportunity to gain a strong foundation in the grocery retail business. At the heart of the program is the company’s commitment to recognizing the fresh perspectives that recent graduates often bring to their jobs while creating a dynamic environment that offers mentorship and experiences to nurture their talent. “It was the best choice I made. Now that I’m in my final placement, everything I learned is helping me achieve success. The program is a great building
block to a career with Loblaw,” said Mellon. The program appealed to Mellon because of the many opportunities throughout the process. During the 18-month program, he worked in three different stores, two corporate training centres and spent time at head office learning about merchandising, as well as touring distribution centres. “No other graduate program in Canada offered this level of involvement to newly graduated students.” Loblaw has been named one of Canada’s Top Employers for Young People by Mediacorp Canada. Mellon believes there are several reasons for this. “Right from day one, this company has treated me with a level of friendliness and respect that I had never encountered before,” he said. “The company has provided me with countless employee benefit programs, which show me they are committed to keeping me a part of their business for the longrun. The innovative ideas and products Loblaw is known for also make it an exciting company to work for in Canada.”

Reaching out to neighbours
D
ebbie Travis, the decorating diva on Canadian TV, is starting a new show recognizing the unsung heroes of our communities. With the assistance of neighbours, friends and colleagues they will be remodelling the heroes’ homes. Her own inspiration came from her childhood, when after her father died, her village in northern England rallied around her mother so that the family of five could stay together. Neighbours made a difference. Michele Blais Debbie’s story reminded me of my own from when I was a young kid, and my father was one of the first in Canada to undergo open heart surgery, in 1963. He spent six months in hospital, endured two lengthy operations and numerous medical tests. He had a serious heart condition and this surgery gave him 10 years, which was a wonderful gift as I was seven when he had the surgery and 16 when he died. We were farmers when Dad went in for the surgery and my mom also worked full time in the hospital. My two older brothers stayed at the farm and did chores and the neighbours around us rallied. It was incredible, people did every-
THE WAY I SEE IT
thing to assist so we would not lose our farm. Fields were planted, cared for and harvested, we didn’t plant a huge garden that year but we didn’t need to because neighbours dropped off vegetables, fruit, canned goods and jams. The older boys looked after the animals and had lots of support from the neighbours. It was tough for them; they were still young teens going to high school and they had to give up a great deal, but that’s what families did and that’s what our community in Metcalf Township did. I went and lived with another family, Bon and Pierce Perry, who lived down the road in a big yellow brick home. They didn’t have children so Bon spoiled me for a couple of months and I got to live out my fantasy of being an only child. My brothers and I visited each day on the bus rides and at school and then they went their way and I went another. It was lovely in lots of ways and made me realize how much I loved my loud family life. We were not wild kids but we were busy, whipping around the farm, having fun, biking, playing ball, hockey, whatever was offered. Mom said we always embarrassed her at church dinners because we hovered over the dessert tables, as baking was a real treat for us. Mom was too tired to bake after her 18-hour days. The memory of the kindness of that community is always with me.
Neighbours make a huge difference and because of this we sold our home and bought the one next door because we liked the neighbours and the location. We are renovating and our neighbour, Doug Fleming, and his crew of fabulously talented carpenters — Steve, Geoff and Brent — are creating a new home for us. So far it is going great and Doug is still taking my calls. We are trying to add the best of what we loved about the other into the new one within reason, as we create a home that will see the lads through their transitions and us into retirement. I have also come to appreciate the simplicity of life as we have spent more time at the lake with solar power, propane and candlelight. Once again our neighbour has been a huge help with caring for our dog, Indiana Jones, while we work. Neighbours: I vow to be a better one and I would encourage you to take that extra bit of time and get to know the people who surround you. When the lads were little we drew a map of our neighbours’ homes, with their names and phone numbers on it. Occasionally the boys had to call people and it was a good feeling for them. They were also good neighbours by taking care of pets, mowing lawns and doing errands. So let’s buck the national trend of people not knowing their neighbours and let’s reach out.

Familiar face joins farm family KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
She lifted up her hammer as Joan Henry from the 2003 musical of the same name, and now Courtenay Dobbie will be lifting a hand, and so much more, as the new artistic director of Caravan Farm Theatre. Replacing longtime artistic director Estelle Shook (who will be back at the farm this winter to direct the sleigh ride production of A Christmas Carol,) Dobbie has had a long affiliation with the professional theatre company based in the wilds of Spallumcheen northwest of Armstrong. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The nice thing is that I know a lot of old Caravaners in the community and I feel well supported. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here over a number of years, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel as if I am a stranger to the land,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The staff, community and Caravan board have been so welcoming. Estelle has also been a great friend, worthy mentor and an excellent resource for me here.â&#x20AC;? The actress, director, choreographer and writer has just set up residency at the farm with her cat and partner, musician Kim White, and says she is excited about continuing the legacy that Caravan started more than 30 years ago as a touring theatre company with stage sets pulled by horses, and shows later based at the Spallumcheen stud farm, which is still its home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Horses have always been a huge part of Caravan and that legacy will continue,â&#x20AC;? said Dobbie. Last seen this summer riding a unicorn, and donning a Lady Gaga-like ensemble as Virtue in Caravanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collective production of Everyone, Dobbie was not only on stage, but had a part in the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creation. Everyone was the collective brainchild of Caravan and six independent Vancouver theatre companies, one of which, Theatre Melee, Dobbie helped found and served as artistic director. 4VOTIJOF %SFBNT GPS ,JET NBLFT ESFBNT DPNF USVF GPS DIJMESFO BHFT UP XIP BSF DIBMMFOHFE CZ TFWFSF QIZTJDBM EJTBCJMJUJFT PS MJGF UISFBUFOJOH JMMOFTTFT XXX TVOTIJOF DB

Theatre, which appeared at the Enderby Drill Hall in 2006, as well as Heebie Jeebies the following year, which they acted in and collaborated on the script. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been that connection to Caravan that has brought Dobbie back to the farm year after year since she starred in Joan Henry in the fiery summer of 2003. She returned the following year to take on the role of Roxanne in Cyrano of the Northwest alongside Toronto actor Martin Julien, who also played Vice to her Virtue in Everyone. She also played Cordelia in the 2007 winter sleigh ride production of King Lear. In 2008, Dobbie served as Caravanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artistic associate for six months and choreographed that summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production of Mother Courage and Her Children and served as front of house manager for the winter show, The Secret Sorrow of Hatchet Jack MacPhee. And she says she is ready for the challenge to continue the farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artistic excellence, foster community relations and maintain the residency program for visiting artists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been blown away by Caravanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capacity of service and heart to the outlying community,â&#x20AC;? said Dobbie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m interested in that history and the sense of community that Caravan has in incorporating children and animals. I am excited to be a part of the larger scope at Caravan.â&#x20AC;? Dobbieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first public endeavour as Caravanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artistic director will be the farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seventh annual Walk of Terror on Halloween. The candle-lit creep-fest will also feature a performance by Shuswap band Old Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beard. The fun starts at 7 p.m. The farm is also harkening back 10 years ago when it last staged Dickensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; A Christmas Carol for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleigh ride production, and will also stage, for the first time, Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beloved A Midsummer Nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dream, directed by former Caravan co-artistic director Jennifer Brewin, this summer.

Stories to hear, stories to tell
H
ave you ever noticed how much life and culture revolve around stories? From the ancient hieroglyphics to the modern era of the information age, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a species that just loves to tell a story. I notice that everyone (and everything) has a story to tell. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an autobiography or a short anecdote shared at the office, storytelling is in our nature. The coming weeks at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre are full of tales to give us more of what we love: stories to hear, and stories to tell. Andrew Allen and Carly Rae Brian van Wensem Jepsen are in the process of writing their stories as career musicians. Jepsen already has a Juno nomination under her belt, and placed third on 2007â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canadian Idol. Allen is a home-grown talent and was the feature performer for the Paralympic Winter Games Closing Ceremonies in Whistler earlier this year. On Friday, they headline the Kiss FM Santa Toy Club fundraiser at the centre starting at 7 p.m. Tickets are still available for purchase through the Ticket Seller by calling 549-SHOW (7469). On Oct. 10, the Performing Arts Centre is the place to be for an afternoon of fun for all ages. Vancouver Operaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cinderella is a family-friendly operatic rendition of this favourite fable. With sets and costumes straight out of an enchanted fairytale, the young and young at heart will revel in this imaginative musical creation. Call the Ticket Seller at 549SHOW (7469) for your tickets. Stuart McLean has the gift of storytelling, and is a famous voice of CBC Radio because of it. McLeanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vinyl CafĂŠ premiered in 1994 and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a staple of Canadian airwaves ever since. On Oct. 11, McLean and the Vinyl CafĂŠ are live at the centre starting at 7:30 p.m. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss your chance to see his one-of-a-kind performance. Tickets can be purchased through the Ticket Seller. Two of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top contemporary dance troupes, 605 Collective and The Response, take the stage of the Performing Arts Centre for Double Bill Oct. 13 at 8 p.m. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a performance that hopes to tell a story through movement rather than words. High flying dives and incredible athleticism make up this exciting two-part thriller. Call the Ticket Seller for tickets to this 2010/2011 dance-series opener. Darrett Zusko is one of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting up and coming concert pianists. Zusko is a Julliard graduate who is known for his powerful playing and superb technique. His versatility and repertoire give audiences a fresh performance. He comes to Vernon Oct. 15 and 16 at 7:30pm and 1:30 p.m., respectively, as the season opener for the North Okanagan Community Concert Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010-2011 season. Subscriptions and individual tickets can be purchased through the Ticket Seller by calling 549-SHOW (7469). And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss your chance to see Classic Albums Live tonight at the centre. This group of studio musicians will perform the entire Beatlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Abbey Road album note for note, cut for cut. Tickets can still be purchased online at www. ticketseller.ca or at the box office, which opens one hour before the 8 p.m. show time.

Step Up, Stomp the Yard, Save the Last Dance, You Got Served: hip hop dance has been featured widely in film for some time now, but there’s nothing like feeling the energy, the sweat and the pulse live. Billed as a twopart hip-hop triumph, Double Bill brings two Vancouver dance companies, 605 Collective and The Response, to the first of five shows in the Vernon Performing Art Centre’s dance series. Audiences will be given a peek into the future of dance Oct. 13. “Whether you are a hip-hop fan, a classical dance lover, or someone who simply wants to see some pretty cool tricks, the artists of The 605 Collective and The Response will inspire,” said Madeleine Shaw, the Performing Arts Centre’s new dance outreach coordinator. “Both troupes take inspiration from contemporary and hip-hop dance to tell a story in ways that blur the line
between art and entertainment.” Though trained in classical ballet, the young performers who make up the two Vancouver-based dance companies work on the cutting edge. Together, they challenge human physical potential and fuse it with modern, urban culture.

Naval band visits valley KELOWNA — The Naden Band of Maritime Forces Pacific touring musical show, Sailors and Songs – A Musical Tribute to 100 Years of Naval Service to Canada, is in the Okanagan this week. A performance will be held at the Kelowna Community Theatre Tuesday. Directed by Lieut. Robert Byrne, the musical program performed by the 35-member band will satisfy a variety of musical tastes and is inspired by the Meet the Navy musical review produced during the Second World War. The musical repertoire covers the entire scope of the first 100 years of the Canadian Navy’s history with a mix of music from various eras and naval music. Guest vocalists Ken Lavigne and Stephanie Greaves

by The Response, a contemporary dance company founded by Amber Funk Barton. A trained classical ballerina, Barton is building a reputation for, what she calls, “athletic hybrid movement.” The duet, an excerpt from The Response’s Hero & Heroine, features a man and a woman struggling in the place in which they find themselves. “The challenges and dynamics of their relationship are further investigated in this sophisticated and engaging performance,” said Shaw. The act balances raw energy and precise physicality as the performers work both as allies and enemies. By aiming to fuse classical technique with the energy and athleticism of urban dance, The Response tells a story though the relationship of the dancers. Double Bill is at the Performing Arts Centre Oct. 13 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $30 for adults, $27 for seniors, $25 for students, and $23 for members plus, at the Ticket Seller box office, 549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.
“The artists will jump, dive, and collide in what they’ve described as a highly athletic contact sport,” said Shaw. “The raw and energetic act depicts the dancers escaping the vulnerability of face-to-face interactions before hurling themselves through space and out of reality.” Made up of Lisa Gelley, Shay Kuebler and Josh Martin, with associate artists Sasha Kozak and Maiko Miyauchi, each dancer from the 605 Collection has trained in hip hop, ballet, jazz, tap, contact improvisation, and modern dance forms. In addition, they have experience in stunt work, karate, capoeria (an Afro-Brazilian form of martial arts), Ukrainian dance and circus arts. “Their integration of different genres has earned them a wide-spectrum of fans; from hip-hop followers to families with children and contemporary art enthusiasts,” said Shaw. The second half of Double Bill features an intimate duet performed

The common cold is an amazingly democratic infection. It will infect even the healthiest and most fit of people even those with the strongest immune system. The entry point of the virus is through the nose and once it gets there, 95% of all persons will get a cold. There are three main ways that the cold virus can get into the body. 1) Touching skin or other surface that may be infected then toughing your eyes or nose. 2) Inhaling droplets from someone’s sneezing or cough. 3) Inhaling smaller droplets from coughs and sneezes that hang in the air for longer periods of time. Conclusion: Wash your hands often and stay away from people with colds. Every fall and winter, different methods of greeting people are often suggested. Instead of shaking hands, perhaps we can bump fists or elbows, perhaps a forearm shake or even a bow! Handshaking is so ingrained in us it is hard to break the habit. But perhaps, to reduce viral transmission, it might be good to try. There are many cold remedies to help make cold symptoms more bearable. Some have fine print on the label telling you to use with caution if you have high blood pressure. This is because the decongestant component of the cold pill contains pseudoephrine which works by narrowing the blood vessels that help clear a stuffy nose but also can cause a rise in blood pressure. It is good to check before using. When in doubt of which cold medications to use, ask us. We can help you choose the medication that is right for you.

unclear is the message that Stone is trying to convey. He spends a good 90 minutes building momentum, only to swerve in a number of different directions at the close. I still think Money Never Sleeps is very relevant, but maybe not necessary.

Louisiana Hayride rolls back to town Morning Star Staff
After six sold-out shows in the North Okanagan (including two in Vernon), The Louisiana Hayride in Story and Song rolls back for an encore performance Oct. 22 at the Vernon Recreation Complex. The Louisiana Hayride is re-created with the ambiance of those early days. The show features more than 30 songs made famous by artists such as Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Jim Reeves, Ray Price, Patsy Cline, Johnny Horton, Marty Robbins and many others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to find this classic music anywhere and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really hit home with those who have seen the show,â&#x20AC;? said show creator Lori Risling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The response to the music and stories has been overwhelming. The memories bring laughter, tears and joy.â&#x20AC;? Based on the popular live radio show of the same name, this Louisiana Hayride is written and produced by Risling, who wrote a syndicated country music column, which appeared in The Morning Star, for 10 years. She has interviewed countless country music artists, including Shania Twain, Vince Gill, Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Dwight Yoakam and Johnny Cash. The original Louisiana Hayride was broadcast in Shreveport, LA., which ran successfully from 1948 to 1960. It was instrumental in establishing the careers of artists such as Williams, Presley and Cash and became known as The Cradle of the Stars. The local production takes audiences back in
history, reliving Williamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early years and Elvisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; frustration at being a rejected 19 year old singer, said Risling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You will discover when the phrase â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Elvis has left the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was first spoken and hear the actual sound recording of the event.â&#x20AC;? The show also explains why Orbison wore dark glasses and what connection Sonny James had to Apollo 14. The cast of the local production consists of musicians from all over the Okanagan, including William Brookfield, on double keyboard, guitar, banjo and vocals. Brookfield is a composer and producer and toured as a pianist for the late Long John Baldry. Gil Risling,electric and acoustic guitar, bass guitar and vocals, has been a musician most of his life and won a scholarship to the Banff School of Fine Arts where he studied voice training under the world-renowned Dr. Ernesto Vinci of the
Royal Conservatory. Mike Melnichuk, stand-up double bass, electric guitar and vocals, has been touring Canada and the U.S. for years, making music from about the time the original Louisiana Hayride started. Vernon native Andrea Anderson, with her uncanny vocal resemblance to Cline, has sung the U.S. national anthem for the Phoenix Coyotes, Arizona Diamondbacks and Chicago Cubs. She also won the 2004 Okanagan Idol contest and has performed at the Merritt Mountain Music Festival. Patrick Ryley, EZRock

Leroux optimistic about chamber JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
She’s watched local shops, hers included, bloom over the years, and now a local flower shop owner is the leading lady to help Vernon business continue to grow. Deb Leroux, owner of Harris Flowers, is the new president of the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce. As she exuberantly steps into the position, following former president Jonathan Jones (from Nixon Wenger), Leroux admits she has big shoes to fill. Not just from the past president, but the many before. “I’m following in great footsteps.” Being a small business owner, Leroux is honoured to take a position that has traditionally been filled with individuals from larger companies and organizations. But now that the perspective of a small business owner is back in the presidential seat, Leroux feels she brings just as much to the table. “Whether you’re a small business or a big and flashy one, both have the same risks.” And whether working in a law firm, heading a charitable group or brightening people’s days with flowers, most Vernon businesses look to the GVCC for help in their success. In fact approximately 740 of the estimated 1,500 businesses in town are chamber members. When Leroux bought Harris Flowers five years ago, she imme-

“I looked to the chamber as a resource.” And now, Leroux is looking
forward to working with the talented board members to attain the position of, “your resource of choice for business.” She adds: “to be deemed a resource for our clients, customers, or students, is a high compliment, and one that we each aspire to, in our chosen profession or community role. “The GVCC has all of the necessary skills, talents, and drive to educate, direct, advocate, and motivate continued and growing success for businesses and therefore the overall health of our region, by becoming this resource.” Leroux also wants to enhance affiliation efforts with groups such as Okanagan College, UBC Okanagan, service groups, the B.C. Chamber and chambers across the Okanagan Valley. “I’m excited about the opportunities,” said Leroux, in her downtown flower shop. Even when her term as president ends in a year, Leroux says she will continue her community involvement. “Other boards are very likely. I feel I will always be a very strong community advocate.” The 2010-2011 chamber executive includes:

Debate over minimum wage erupts at UBCM TOM FLETCHER Black Press
Labour Minister Murray Coell’s comments about a review of B.C.’s minimum wage have prompted a sharp reaction from business and labour leaders. Coell called a news conference Thursday morning to clarify his remarks at a cabinet minister’s panel at the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) convention Wednesday. He didn’t deny his earlier statements that marked the B.C. Liberals’ first departure from a policy that has held the minimum wage at $8 an hour since 2001. But Coell indicated Thursday the minimum wage has been reviewed frequently by the government, and insisted there are still other options to make life easier for B.C.’s lowest wage-earners. Asked when or if Canada’s lowest minimum wage would be

NDP labour critic Raj Chouhan and B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair react with anger Thursday to Labour Minister Murray Coell’s hint of a future increase to B.C.’s minimum wage. increased, Coell replied, “it’s something we will consider in the future.” Asked if he still believes a higher minimum wage is a “job killer,” he replied, “I don’t think so.” B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair stood with reporters at a Whistler hotel to listen to Coell’s clarification, and inter-
preted it as a retreat to the government’s hard line. “It’s very clear that he misspoke himself, that the government is not interested in raising the minimum wage, despite the fact the UBCM voted to raise it to $10 three years ago,” Sinclair said. Brian Bonney, B.C. director of the
Canadian Federation of Independent Business, said small businesses have barely recovered from the recession and some are considering layoffs in the months to come. “The government of British Columbia really need to take a look at what’s going on in our economy,” Bonney said. “It is very, very vola-
tile and any increase in minimum wage is simply going to result in workers losing jobs and losing hours.” When asked at the panel discussion Wednesday whether B.C.’s minimum wage would be raised, Coell noted the government has eliminated income tax and medical premiums for B.C.’s lowest wage earners, and introduced rent subsidies. “Those were all levers that we could pull to put more money back in people’s pockets other
than raising the minimum wage,” Coell said, responding to a question from Oak Bay Mayor Christopher Causton. “But we are getting close

With the introduction of the Harmonized Sales Tax in B.C. on July 1, some misinformation has surfaced related to the HST and its effect on new car purchases. In fact, the new HST has zero effect on the amount of tax that will be paid on a new car, and some consumers will even pay less for the vehicle under the new tax rules. New car dealers across B.C. are receiving phone calls from consumers who are concerned that the new blended tax will make a new car unobtainable. The reality is that both the GST and PST, which are blended together to form the new HST, were already charged on all new vehicle purchases prior to the introduction of the blended tax. This means that the total tax we must charge on a new vehicle remains exactly the same – 12 per cent – as it did prior to July 1. Some new vehicle consumers will actually find savings with the HST when they visit our showrooms, in that its introduction means the elimination of the vehicle “luxury tax” of up to three per cent on new cars worth more than $55,000. Consumers who are researching to purchase a used vehicle should also know that the combined tax rate means that private sales are now subject to the same tax as public sales. This means that, dollar-for-dollar, buying a used car from a private seller will cost the same – if not more, due to the competitive pricing that only an established dealer can offer – than buying from a new car dealership. Our industry is transitioning out of an undeniably difficult time with exciting technological advances and low sticker prices showcased on the showroom floors of new car dealers across this province. Consumer confidence is returning and we continue to closely monitor the needs and concerns of our customers to ensure we are offering the clearest information available with regards to perceived impacts of HST. The introduction of the HST has no effect on purchases made on new cars in B.C., and therefore the

ITALY — Following the recommendations of our Venetian hotelier, my husband and I set off to find a small family-run restaurant in the labyrinthine city of Venice. His directions seemed simple enough: “You go righta, then lefta, crossa the canal, passa the church and you will find the osteria in the campo.” Being neophytes, one campo (square), looked like another and soon we found ourselves at a dead-end beside a canal littered with bobbing gondolas. Now enveloped in a soft pearly mist, we resorted to our map and flashlight and soon we had retraced our steps along the narrow calle (alley) where we found the osteria (restaurant). Packed with locals, we squeezed between tiny wooden tables and seated ourselves beside an American couple who being fluent in Italian, helped us interpret the menu. Our ominous beginning turned out to be a great evening. Located at the northern end of the Adriatic Sea, Venice is connected to mainland Italy by a causeway. Cutting through the city’s core, the Grand Canal in the shape of a swan’s neck, wends past palazzo (mansions) dating from the 12th century. The Rialto and Accademia bridges cross the Canal and are prime locations from which to watch the waterborne traffic transporting people, luggage, groceries, animals, furniture, building materials and even coffins. The parade of life is endless and fascinating. I doubt that Venetian men of any age need to spend much time in the gym as they are constantly loading and unloading goods and trundling them down alleyways

News Councillors reject four-year terms
www.vernonmorningstar.com
TOM FLETCHER Black Press
Municipal election terms will remain at three years, delegates to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention decided in a hotly contested vote Thursday. The executive of the UBCM had endorsed the idea after a provincial-municipal task force recommended it this spring. Supporters noted that most Canadian provinces have already gone to four-year terms, and it may improve the low turnout of local elections. Burnaby councillor Sav Dhaliwal said he started in politics with a one-year term, and went through similar debates over increasing it to two years and the present three years. There has been no shortage of candidates to run for the longer terms, he said. Councillors for smaller communities disputed that, and argued that with the low pay, a four-year term would prevent many candidates from making the commitment. The issue split delegates when it was debated Wednesday, and two votes by show of hands were scrapped after complaints that people had voted and then left the convention hall. A secret-ballot vote was held Thursday morning, with 280 votes in favour of four-year terms and 354 opposed. Community and Rural Development Minister Ben Stewart said the provincial government would respect the decision of the mayors and councillors. The task force also recommended limits on spending for civic election campaigns, but not restrictions on campaign donations. Those changes are expected to be incorporated in provincial legislation next spring.

Activity Horoscope BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL There are strong indications that the year ahead will turn out to be a far more active one than you’ve experienced in some time. With all that activity, the shift in conditions will help produce a healthier, balanced life.
PUZZLE NO. 203
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your path might start out with a few stumbling blocks, but don’t let them trip you up and make you prematurely throw in the towel. Tenacity can realize your hopes and wishes.
ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 203
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) That opportunity to talk to someone essential to your plans might not come until midday, so don’t get discouraged early on. Keep the faith, and you’ll end up with what you want.
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. 100206

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Although you might start out a bit down in the dumps, your upbeat spirit will grow as the day wears on, providing a lot of pizzazz. Hope you like crowds, because you may draw one. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Regardless of how your day starts, concentrate on achieving your major objectives. Conditions will improve with time, and things will work out better than you could ever hope. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) The quickest way to get over the blues is to have a good old-fashioned conversation with a few choice pals who always lighten your spirits. If you give them a call, they will come through. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Chances are there is something significant you want to change but have been reluctant to do so. Remove that spur from under your saddle, and gallop forward at full speed. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Individually, you and some friends may have little to offer; collectively, however, you could be a mighty force. Don’t be impassive; get everyone together, and act in unison when it counts. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Be sure to take the plans you make with friends seriously, because your pals will take your commitment to them in earnest. Disappointing them would be extremely unwise.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your popularity could be ascending at this time, and both friends and family alike will make sure that you’re included in their plans. This could turn out to be a busy day for you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) If you need to borrow money or property, go to a family member or a close friend first. When money is involved, they are the ones who are more likely to come through for you.

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
“We’re having a baby!”
Bridge by Phillip Alder Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart said, “There you stand like a duck in a thunderstorm again -aren’t you ever going to understand?” Yes, I understand that this is the same deal as yesterday’s, but I am going to look at another aspect of it. South is in three no-trump. West leads the heart three, East putting up his nine (or covering dummy’s 10 with his jack). What happens if declarer ducks this trick, leaving East on play? As I mentioned yesterday, North’s jump to three no-trump is a slight overbid, but not unreasonable with two good four-card suits. It also puts pressure on the opponents, who do not know the strength of the
South hand. In the real world, it probably would not matter if South ducked at trick one, because we are all taught to return our partner’s suit in no-trump contracts. However, it does put the contract at risk. East should realize that his partner has only four hearts because he led a fourth-highest three and the two is in the dummy. Also, South must have the ace; otherwise, he would have taken the first trick. So, if the defense is getting only three heart tricks, it needs two other winners to defeat the contract. Where will they come from? East should shift to the club 10 (a surrounding play), although leading the eight also works here. If South covers with
his jack, West wins with his queen and reverts to hearts. The defense collects one spade, three hearts and one club. If South takes his club ace and leads a spade, West wins and returns a low club. The defenders gather in one spade, one heart and three clubs.
