“I hope to get it into the thousands and to connect people across the country,” he said. “I hope to put pressure on the memorial committee to change its criteria. If it takes years, something has to happen.” Mannella points out that the committee has changed its criteria for recognition before and he doesn’t understand why Evely and other auxiliary officers are being treated differently at this time. “It’s just the right thing to do,” he said of recognizing Evely. Mannella is also promoting Evely’s case through The Blueline, a magazine for Canadian law enforcement. The RCMP have requested three times that Evely be added to the national memorial but the committee that oversees the monument has refused.
Motorists continue to find out the hard way about B.C.’s tough new driving laws. Over the weekend, Vernon RCMP suspended five drivers and impounded their vehicles for 30 days because they all had previous suspensions. “Their driver’s licence has been suspended for 90 days,” said Gord Molendyk, Vernon RCMP spokesman, adding that officers also handed out one three-day suspension. Molendyk said all five cases where the drivers had their vehicles impounded and licences suspended were alcohol related. “These individuals would have been caught before or given a 24-hour (suspension), it’s on their record,” said Molendyk. “When an officer checks an individual and it comes up you’ve had a 24-hour suspension before, it’s on your licence. It stays there. If you’re clean, never been checked before, you get a three-day. Then it goes to seven, then 30 days.” Vernon RCMP are again asking motorists to plan ahead before going out to party or celebrate, and not to think about how you’re going to try to get home after you’ve been drinking. “It’s about saving lives,” said Molendyk. “We don’t want to be out investigating fatal or very serious motor vehicle accidents. We know alcohol is a great contributing factor in a lot of these accidents.”

News Project protects victims of violence ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A pilot project created in Vernon and aimed at enhancing the safety of victims of domestic violence is garnering province-wide interest. The Vernon RCMP detachment and Vernon Women’s Transition House Society started the project in January 2009, and full implementation of the new model is underway in the North Okanagan. “We tried to create a protocol that would allow us to communicate openly amongst service groups, the police and Crown counsel to ensure the safety of victims of domestic violence,� said Sgt. Robb Daly of the Vernon RCMP, co-chair of the project along with Debby Hamilton from the Women’s Transition House Society. A committee called ICAT – Integrated Case Assessment Team – uses a collaborative approach of information sharing within legal boundaries. Before the project started, the Privacy Act served as a barrier for the RCMP in that they couldn’t communicate openly with the investigations they were undertaking or sharing information they had obtained, and those same Privacy Act rules applied to B.C. service groups. ICAT obtained a grant from the province that allowed it to write a protocol allowing open com-

Reg Burgess signs the final protocol of a pilot project that enhances the safety of victims of domestic violence. munication for high-risk domestic violence cases. Those cases were identified through a risk assessment process which was worked on for a year. “This agreement for information sharing and working together is a culmination of two years of efforts by all of us at this table,� said
Hamilton, who, along with Daly, was joined by a dozen representatives of local agencies who form the ICAT committee in announcing the project. “The document creates the framework to help women and children at highest risk of death or serious harm become safer.�
After the risk is reviewed, a comprehensive safety plan is drawn up using resources in the justice system, government agencies, health, aboriginal and community social service organizations. This creates a safety net that helps the entire family become safer. There’s also a plan in place to
help the offenders. “We have a proactive intervention plan that is enacted for the offender, knowing this will reduce the risk,� said Hamilton. “We believe these actions will ultimately protect others such as extended family, friends and co-workers, since they’re so often the co-victims of the most dreadful outcome.� Daly points out that the group did not set out to change the laws, rather use the laws that are in place to ICAT’s advantage to assist victims of domestic violence and enhance their safety. ICAT identified its first high-risk case in February. To date, there have been 14 high-risk cases assessed, and 11 of those have been safely concluded. All of them have involved women as the victims, though the new project also works for men who are victims of domestic violence. The Vernon pilot project is drawing interest from other areas of B.C., and Daly hopes it will go provincewide. “That’s up to the solicitor general,� he said. “We’re getting a lot of phone calls on how we are doing it.� Vernon RCMP Supt. Reg Burgess signed the final protocol at the detachment Monday, adding his signature to join those of agency heads who have also signed the document.
Vernonite keeps Conservative presidential seat RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Conservatives’ conference in Vancouver on the weekend. “It was a tremen- Wayne McGrath dously successful annual general meeting,� said McGrath, a former Vernon mayor. “The attendance was beyond our expectations.

When that infrastructure is in place, we can go out and seek a leader,� said McGrath. The party is also working on developing policies. The B.C. Conservatives will not participate in MLA recall campaigns being spearheaded by former premier Bill Vander Zalm. But if recall is successful against some Liberal MLAs, McGrath believes that could create opportunities for his party. “We will certainly be prepared for any byelections,� he said.

Family still grieving from loss ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Human remains found in August in Trinity Valley near Lumby have been confirmed as those of a missing Lumby man. The B.C. Coroners Office confirmed the remains are those of Cory Lee Romanick, 21, who went missing from his Trinity Valley Road home on June 21, 2009. “We never gave up hope,” said Julie Romanick, Cory’s sister. Cory Romanick “This brings some closure but it’s still hard. We want everybody to know Cory was a really great guy and

he will be really missed.” Police had asked for the public’s assistance in finding Romanick after he disappeared and, in August of this year, issued another appeal. Shortly after the second appeal, a family member came upon human remains in the area where Romanick had last been seen. DNA helped confirm the remains were those of Romanick. The coroner is expected to release the cause of death in a report later this year.

MLAs support premier RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Gordon Campbell may possibly have the lowest public support ever for a B.C. premier, but the North Okanagan’s MLAs continue to support him. A recent Angus Reid poll shows that Campbell has an approval rating of nine per cent, but Eric Foster, VernonMonashee MLA, believes Campbell should remain as leader of the Liberals and the province. “He’s one of the smartest men I’ve done business with,” said Foster. “I signed on with him as George Abbott leader and I don’t jump ship. He brought B.C. from one of the worst economies in Canada to one of the best.” Campbell also continues to have the confidence of George Abbott, Shuswap MLA. “The premier has been leader of the party since 1993 and premier since 2001,” said Abbott. “He will do his best to regain the confidence of British Columbians.” Party members are being surveyed on whether a leadership review needs to be held, and the results will be released at the Liberals’ annual convention in Penticton in November. The Angus Reid poll also shows that the Liberals had 24 per cent support among participants, compared to 49 per cent for the NDP, 13 per cent for the Greens and eight per cent for the B.C. Conservatives. “The numbers are lower than we’d like,” said Abbott.
Missing men located Morning Star Staff
Vernon Search and Rescue volunteers were called out by the RCMP at 9 a.m. Monday to assist in the search for two missing men. They had gone to the Hunter’s Range area, outside Enderby, on Sunday to ride all-terrain vehicles and had failed to return home. They were located by one of the teams at about noon Monday. “The ATV the men were riding on had broken down on Sunday, and they had walked 15 kilometres before they were located,” said Leigh Pearson, search manager. “They were tired and cold but otherwise in good condition.”

“It’s a reflection of public disapproval in respect to the introduction of the harmonized sales tax. I think they can be turned around. There are many reasons why our government has enjoyed 10 years of electoral success. There are reasons we won those elections and we have to think about that.” Foster admits weak public support for the Liberals is a concern. “You don’t like to think people are that unhappy with what you are doing,” he said. “I’m sure it has to do with the tough decisions we’ve made over the last year-and-a-half.” Steve Gunner, Shuswap NDP president, isn’t surprised by the poll numbers for the Liberals or Campbell. “It shows the public has had enough with the Liberals and high-handed antics. Forcing the HST was the final straw,” he said. However, NDP leader Carole James’ approval rating is at 27 per cent, far below the 49 per cent for the party. “In any party, there is always flux and tension,” said Gunner. Gunner does not support the calls from some party members for James to step aside. “It would be hasty to ditch your leader just because somebody suggested it,” he said. “Carole has done a fine job. She has a good ability to work with people behind the scenes.”

Police find 2,284 marijuana plants ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Nobody was home when Vernon RCMP’s community response unit executed a search warrant in Okanagan Landing Thursday. But plenty of evidence was left behind. Officers executed the warrant in the 9000 block of Tronson Road, and seized 2,284 marijuana plants. “Of those plants, there were 1,000 clones, and there was 30 pounds
of dried bud and marijuana in the home,” said Gord Molendyk, spokesman for the Vernon RCMP detachment.. City bylaw officers posted the home under the city’s safe premises bylaw, which means the home is closed to occupancy until the bylaw requirements are met. Police received some information in regards to the home and began their investigation, which is continuing.

REGIONAL DISTRICT OF NORTH OKANAGAN
WATER MAIN FLUSHING NOTICE The Regional District of North Okanagan - Greater Vernon Water in conjunction with the City of Vernon and District of Coldstream Operations will continue with Water Main Flushing. Over the next two weeks flushing will occur in the following areas: • COLDSTREAM: • Duteau System – All Duteau customers. Please look for signage in your area. • VERNON, AREA B & C: • Duteau System – North along PV Road, L&A Road towards Swan Lake Nursery including Greenhow Road, Grey Canal Road, Stickle Road & the frontage roads along Highway 97. 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

The Ministry of Forests will be conducting controlled burns in the vicinity of the 2009 Terrace Mountain wildfire over the next several weeks. When the burns are conducted will depend on appropriate weather and venting conditions. During the rehabilitation of fire guards last season, large piles of woody debris were created. The piles to be burned are located above Westside Road, in the area north and south of Fintry Provincial Park, near where the 2009 Terrace Mountain wildfire was most visible to residents. “The recent cold temperatures and snow have reduced the fire hazard to the level where it is now safe to burn these debris piles. The chance that this prescribed burning will cause a wildfire is minimal,” states a release. “The public should be reassured that any visible smoke or flames from these prescribed burns are of no threat to homes or forested areas.”

he finger pointing is fast and furious over the parks restructuring debacle. Vernon blames Coldstream and Area C for the review process moving ahead, while Coldstream takes aim at the city. Jim Garlick, Coldstream mayor, insists his municipality only ever wanted some control over local parks, and the talks “morphed into something else.” No kidding, but why are we just hearing this now? All parties have sat at the negotiation table for months and, as far as I can tell, not once did Richard Rolke anyone stand up publicly and say things are getting out of control or heading in a direction that doesn’t benefit residents. Many of the recent complaints come from individual members of Vernon council, but surely they had been kept up-to-date by the mayor and staff and knew where things were headed? Why are they just speaking out when a restructuring agreement has been drafted and the bill for a consultant overseeing the negotiations has been climbing higher? But at least they’re finally second-guessing the plan that would see the parks, recreation and culture function overhauled to the point that very little would be left regional. Virtually every park and facility would come under the control of individual jurisdiction. And the implications are significant, particularly from a financial perspective. Instead of the current system where Greater Vernon residents have been collectively paying for services for almost 40 years, Vernon and Coldstream taxpayers would be left picking up most of the weight individually within their boundaries (Areas B and C to a lesser extent because of fewer parks there). The city would be on the hook for all future upgrades

to Polson Park, while Coldstream would take on the liabilities associated with the wharf and aging structures at Kal Beach. As part of the regional function, a lot of land has been acquired over the years and is owned by the North Okanagan Regional District. In some cases, those joint assets would just be turned over to Vernon and Coldstream, but Kal Beach would remain under the ownership of the city although it’s located in Coldstream. Redevelopment at Kin Race Track could become difficult since parts of it are held by NORD and others are in the city’s name. The main part of the Vernon Recreation Complex (the pool, auditorium and Priest Valley arena/gym) is owned by the city, but many of the parking lots are held by the regional district. Also keep in mind that any renovations to the complex, including the major pool renovation in the mid-1990s, have been funded by everyone. Not only would ownership of assets have to be sorted out, but restructuring would lead to a complex funding formula as Coldstream and the electoral areas would only pay for half of recreation complex operations because they wouldn’t have a vote on decisions. That means Vernon residents would be left subsidizing their neighbours, and those from Coldstream and Areas B and C would experience the undemocratic taxation without representation. Yes the current system hasn’t been perfect. But if Coldstream wants more input over parks maintenance, or if Vernon requires a more efficient process for long-term planning, then address them through the existing process. Throwing the baby out with the bath water is not acceptable or an effective use of taxpayer resources. Given the most recent comments coming from elected officials, it appears that restructuring may be on its death bed. But then again, how much confidence should residents place in politicians who allowed the mess to get this far in the first place?
Staying true to its word to put an emphasis on domestic violence investigations, the Vernon RCMP detachment is being praised for its role in creating a pilot project that aims at enhancing the safety of domestic violence victims. The local detachment teamed up with the Vernon Women’s Transition House Society, Crown counsel, health officials and community service agencies to increase safety for victims and hold offenders accountable for their actions as well as offer intervention programs for offenders. Called the Integrated Case Assessment Team (ICAT), this committee uses a collaborative approach of information sharing within legal boundaries, something that handcuffed police and agencies before as they were dealing with Privacy Act concerns which would not allow them to reveal information about cases. Now, this committee reviews the risk of serious bodily harm or death to victims of domestic violence or stalking, and the same collaborative approach is used to provide enhanced safety and support to the victim, and proactive intervention to the alleged offender. The new committee set out to write a protocol, with a grant from the province, that allows for open and shared communication among groups using existing laws, rather than trying to have laws changed. Throughout the protocol process, the committee was being guided legally by RCMP and federal agency lawyers to make sure everything was being done correctly. Since its inception, the committee has identified 14 high-risk cases in the North Okanagan, and 11 have concluded safely, an indication the new project is working. Anything that helps end domestic violence is a great step.

Art gallery deserves better
A
n art gallery is a terrible place to waste money so I would like to present a way in which we can build one without wasting a dime and actually end up boosting our economy. I am not part of the art gallery board but a few of us have been talking and I thought it was time to share our vision. If you have one as well, now is the time to share yours. I learned something about the economics of culture when I was involved in the Performing Arts Centre back in 1999. I said then that the theatre would be good for our economy and it has proven to be true. Same is true with an art gallery and I believe it is time for a referendum. It is time we had a vote that is clear and not one that is tagged on to other projects or done in a reverse way. A simple question and a plan that is affordable. I learned a few things back then and one is that the cultural tourist spends between $100 and $200 a day in our community. They will stay an extra day or two, especially if there is a farmers market coming up. They tour local cultural sites, they shop, dine and spend money all day. The recreational tourist of the past and the one our sister cities to the south have focused on, gets to the beach and the spending drops off significantly. With the cultural tourist we can now compete where the money is and an attractive, enticing art gallery is always the centerpiece of a vibrant community. Yet we have all treated the art gallery with little respect in the past. It is time we moved forward and got them out of the garage. Despite the limitations, the gallery board and staff have created a wonderful, peaceful and inspiring place, that is once you step inside. Imagine what they could do in a proper
WELFARE WOES As a follower of the articles and follow-up letter on Philip (Rebel) Harnish, and having gone through the hoops and hurdles of getting disability benefits qualification for myself, I feel I am qualified to say something about the subject. Even with a letter from my doctor about my disability it took more than 12 months for me to qualify. I can understand "Rebel's" discomfort for dealing with our welfare department. Many a time I felt like a second-hand citizen in my own struggle with the welfare office. Right from the start, even my advocate tried to discourage me from applying for the benefits. To use the words of my advocate: "The system is so full of rules and regulations that you have to be a lawyer to understand them all." There certainly is something wrong with the system we live with when a prisoner is costing around $48,000 a year, compared to a person who is disabled who is receiving only around $11,000 a year. The fact of the matter seems to be that our elected leaders seem to think
facility. Unfortunately, the cultural tourist is not drawn to the garage nor is the community like it should be. We need the vote and next November would be enough time to put a plan together and allow the gallery board to promote it like we did back in 1999. But the boost to our economy a professional art gallery will bring is only part of the story and not why I am inspired to share the vision we have been working on. My motivation is as simple as this. An art gallery is often the first place a child can learn expression outside of using a fist. A larger gallery with a professional climate control system and space for larger traveling exhibits will inspire many of our children, more than they are now in the garage. So how do we build one without wasting money? Our idea is we build a box and focus on a fancy entryway like the Louvre has. We could bury it or most of it and create

LIFE LESSONS My favourite story was written by Robert Fulghum and published in The Vancouver Sun on Jan. 26, 1988. The column was entitled: "Here's to a Simple Credo for Life and Politics." "Most of what I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be, I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom is not at the top of the graduate school mountain but there in the sandbox at the nursery school. "These are the things I learned: Share everything. Play fair. Don't hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don't take things that aren't yours. Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Live a balanced, active life. "Everything you need to know is
A RESPONSE I am writing to clarify some of the issues raised in a letter from the head of the Vernon Teachers’ Association and published in The Morning Star recently. I agree that teachers in B.C. are doing an incredible job; I see that every time I visit a classroom. I also agree that parents should talk to their child’s teacher; parental involvement is crucial to a child’s education and parents should be working together with teachers. However, I utterly reject Mr. Cummings’ position on the issue of class size legislation (Bill 33). Prior to 2002, classroom size was the subject of union horse-trading. It was the student who paid the ultimate price. For example, because of restrictive labour agreements students with
a community plaza on the roof. Art galleries do not need windows as solid walls work best but skylights would be nice. The entry we have been discussing would be glass and in the shape of crystals. You enter the crystal and descend down into the gallery. One of the best locations this could be built is downtown where the medical clinic used to be and where the Greyhound station is now. We could do a land swap and buy the old bus depot so they can build a better one. That could be good for us all. I would also suggest we close the street between this and the two parks on the other side. Putting the entry in the street so it can be seen from the museum square, from the highway and from the train station, would make it easy to find and a great photo op. With the mature trees, the plaza on the roof and the train station, it would make a great postcard and be seen around the world. So what did I mean by an art gallery is a terrible place to waste money? I meant that we need to do it right and we need to think outside of the box, like by burying the box. We can save money by making a part of the building look different, not the whole thing. But let me close with our children, as there is no better motivation than the benefits they will get. They deserve to be in awe of something and inspired to express themselves. As parents and neighbours, we owe them that. Now is the time to get it out of the garage. Talk among your friends and give your representative a call to ask for a vote. Let us get this going. Dave Hesketh
special needs often were barred from classes where the maximum number of students with special needs had been reached – which had a discriminatory impact on those children. Since class size legislation was introduced, 99 per cent of all B.C. classes have had 32 or fewer students and 95 per cent of all classes have had 30 or fewer students. In just five years, we have reduced the number of classes with more than 30 students by 6,000 to just over 3,200 classes today. Over the same period, we have increased support in the classroom by adding close to 2,000 education assistants. As a direct result of class size legislation, we now have one of the lowest student-teacher ratios ever at fewer than 17 students per teacher. We passed class size legislation to improve the classroom experience for all our students. The record shows we’ve done that and we continue to take steps to ensure a quality education for every student in B.C. Margaret MacDiarmid, Minister of Education

Construction at a busy Coldstream intersection could impact motorists and nearby residents. Starting today, and until Nov. 30, crews will be installing steel piling near the railway at Kalamalka and Husband roads as part of the grid road project. “The contractor will be working between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays, and between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. Sundays,” states a district release. “Nearby residences can expect to hear moderate noise levels and may experience small vibrations associated with normal pile installation practices.” Construction of phase two of the grid road project, including the railway overpass, began Monday and it should continue until May 31. “During this time, traffic patterns are not expected to change,”
states the release. “However, users should expect minor delays and be mindful of flagpersons. A 30-kilometre-an-hour construction speed zone will be in effect, and drivers should expect a
temporary, gravel driving surface and minor traffic disruptions.” The grid road is a new $8.5 million connection between Kalamalka Road and Kickwillie Loop Road, near Okanagan College.

News Hit and run witness sought ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Vernon RCMP continue to appeal for a key witness to a serious accident earlier this month involving a motorcycle and a pedestrian. The incident happened shortly after midnight on Oct. 1 on 41st Street near Bella Vista Road. “We are again issuing a public appeal for a man driving a white SUV around the time of the accident to contact us,� said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. “We know he stopped and spoke with the victim but we didn’t get all of his
pertinent details. We believe he has some valuable information to provide to us, and we’re asking him to please contact us.� A 49-year-old man was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital following the accident with serious breaks of his legs and internal injuries. He was transferred to Kelowna General Hospital where, at last word, he was in stable condition. A 50-year-old man was charged with failing to remain at the scene of an accident and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm in connection with the incident.
City hammers out more homes Morning Star Staff
The sounds of construction were ringing through Vernon last month. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation reports that there were 15 housing starts in the community in September, a 67 per cent increase from nine units during the same month in 2009. “Detached housing has been the focus of new home demand in 2010,� said analyst Paul Fabri. “Lower lot prices and construction costs have allowed builders to compete more effectively with existing homes and attract more
new home buyers this year.� Of the 15 units in September, 13 were single-detached (up 86 per cent from seven units in 2009) and there were two multiple units (the same as last year). Year-to-date, there have been 185 housing starts in Vernon, a one per cent decrease from 187 units during the first nine months of 2009. In Kelowna, housing starts decreased 26 per cent in September, while they were up 15 per cent in Kamloops and they dropped 90 per cent in Penticton.

The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) will host its 100-year celebration Friday at the branch at 2550 Pleasant Valley Boulevard from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. “We will have some memorabilia displayed along with speeches from the invited dignitaries,” said Angela Casavant, branch manager. “We will have a free hot dog lunch as well, provided by our business banking team.” The current CIBC opened on Oct. 4, 1910 as the Bank of Hamilton,

that there’s a lot of camaraderie involved. “The most fun is working on community projects,” he said. The local Lions chapter was founded in September 1945. “As a beginning, a charter membership of approximately 20 will be established and from this, it is hoped to develop steadily and solidly,” stated a Vernon News article at the time. To mark the 65th anniversary, the club will hold a special eventSaturday. “We’re inviting all former and
current members to attend, as well as representatives from all of the Lions clubs in our zone,” said Willows. Also in attendance will be Marnie and Bobbe MacKenzie, the daughters of Bill MacKenzie, the club’s first president. The Vernon Lions Club meets on the first and third Thursdays of each month at 6 p.m. at 3313B 30th Ave. For more information or to join the club, call Norm Jaques at 545-9265, Jo-Ann Jaques at 5459265 or Ken Cain at 545-2722.

A Vernon service organization is celebrating 65 years of dedication to the community. It was in 1945 that the Vernon Lions Club was formed, and it has been involved in a number of worthwhile activities since that time. “We want to give back to the community,” said director Brian Willows. “Our major project is Easter Seal, which supports children and families.” Specifically, there is Easter Seal House in Vancouver, where families can stay while children are receiving medical care. There is also the Easter Seal camp in Winfield for children with disabilities. About $45,000 a year goes directly back into various initiatives in Vernon. Among them have been the Salvation Army food bank, Vernon Jubilee Hospital, the North Okanagan Community Life Society, the North Okanagan Hospice Society, the Vernon MS Support Group and the Daybreak Adult Care Centre. The club played a significant role when the Polson Park bandshell was refurbished a few years ago, and a donation was also made towards construction of the Grey Canal trail in 2004. Four scholarships are also handed out annually to local college students. The money comes from the B.C. Lottery Corporation and fundraising activities like selling Thanksgiving carnations, operating a concession trailer at special events and working at the Funtastic beverage garden. There are presently about 45 members, and Willows points out

Looking at the upside of the downturn KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
JOHN SYLVESTER
Lorne Elliott returns to the North Okanagan with his new show, The Upside of the Downturn, in support of the George Ryga Centre.
Like Monty Python’s Life of Brian, Lorne Elliott is always looking on the bright side of life. Three years after a major heart attack caused him to stop and reflect, Elliott is back in the North Okanagan with his latest show, The Upside of the Downturn. This is Elliott’s first tour with the George Ryga Centre since his health scare, and the wiry-haired comedian, musician and playwright says he is grateful for his life, his family home and garden in Hudson, Que., and even the state of the Canadian economy –– all rich material to cull from. “I don’t like to be cynical. You’re not in a creative state when you are unhappy,” he said. “I’m less distracted now. When you’ve got lots of time, you don’t want to waste it. I can’t be working all the time thinking life is a list you have to tick off. Things seem less superficial now.” Lest you think Elliott has been resting on all his laurels, the former host of CBC Radio’s Madly off In all Directions has been busy writing and performing. He spent the summer in the Maritimes to direct the stage version of his 2009 novella, The Fixer-Upper, in Charlottetown. Another one of his plays, Culture Shock, just finished its run in Trinity, Nfld. Elliott started thinking about The Upside of the Downturn around the time the economic collapse was heard around the world. The world is now in a different place since the crisis, especially when it comes to getting out the
message through the media, he says. “People are writing more letters and e-mails, but I am a bit more hopeful that people have reacted in a more human way,” said Elliott.
“I don’t like to be cynical. You’re not in a creative state when you are unhappy.” — Lorne Elliott “People have been thrown on their own resources, which is not a bad thing. I’ve noticed more gardens are being planted. I call them fairy gold. People have realized they can’t buy their way into paradise, they need a reality check. More people are hunting. I’ve noticed touring farms, there are more pick ups for sale.” And as in Elliott’s past oneman shows, his guitar and songwriting are at the forefront. “My guitar floats in and out of my life. When I sit down and write stuff, half is formed thoughts, the rest gets boiled into the show as epigrams. I’m always looking for the poetic.” He even shares his thoughts about the HST, which he says is just “another grab and the reason we have even less trust in politicians” in a new poem he wrote just for the occasion, but he’s quick to add he doesn’t take sides on the political spectrum. “It’s not about left or right,
it’s about the division of power between those who have it and those who don’t,” he explained, And although Elliott likes to see the upside on most issues, there is one he plans to bring up with Canada’s heritage minister. While in P.E.I., he noticed the Charlottetown Festival was bringing in a lot of American-based shows, besides its long-running musical of Anne of Green Gables. “The week before the Conservatives were elected, there was lobbying on the part of the U.S. in bringing their cultural industries here,” he said. “I have no problem with them if they build their own theatre to put on their show, but don’t take over our taxpayers’ money to do it.” Instead, Elliott says he is proud to support non-profit Canadian groups such as the George Ryga Centre, the former Summerland home of late playwright Ryga, which now serves as an artists’ retreat. “I like local stuff such as what the Ryga Centre supports, for the grassroots is where things grow. That’s the real economy.” Elliott’s North Okanagan tour, produced by Armstrong’s Ken Smedley, starts at the Charles Bloom Theatre in Lumby, Tuesday at 8 p.m. Tickets are at The Snac Shac (250-547-6169) and Monashee U-Brew (250-547-2504). It continues at the Centennial Theatre in Armstrong, Oct. 27 at 8 p.m. (Tickets are at The Brown Derby Restaurant, 250-546-8221). It wraps up at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre, Oct. 28 at 8 p.m. Tickets are at the Ticket Seller box office. Call 250-549-7469 or order online at www.ticketseller.ca.
B.C. novelist comes to Vernon to promote literacy Morning Star Staff
Award-winning writer Gail AndersonDargatz will visit the Vernon branch of the Okanagan Regional Library to share from her new work The Stalker, which is part of a new special collection by Canadian authors aimed at adult literacy learners. Anderson-Dargatz, who lives in Sorrento, will be at the library Tuesday
at 7 p.m. for the free event. The Stalker is one of several new books in the Good Reads collection, an initiative of ABC Life Literacy, which involves popular Canadian authors writing short works using simple language for those learning how to read. Anderson-Dargatz describes herself as being passionate about literacy and says she wanted to participate in the
Good Reads program so adult literacy learners don’t have to resort to using children’s books for practice. In addition to The Stalker, she will discuss her other popular works such as The Cure for Death by Lightning and A Recipe for Bees at the Vernon event. For more information, contact the Vernon branch of the Okanagan Regional Library at 250-542-7610.

If you’re hungry for heat, come build a flamenco fire with the John Gilliat Quartet with Stephanie Pedraza at the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday. Gilliat performs a fiery world beat fusion of rhumba flamenco and Latin jazz with a repertoire of originals from Gilliat’s CDs, music from Spain’s premier flamenco guitarist Vincente Amigo, Gypsy Kings’ tunes, and fiery arrangements of covers such as Sway, Caravan, Minor Swing and Hotel California. A West Coast Music Award nominee, Gilliat has toured throughout North America and Japan, including performances at Japan’s 2005 Expo and Canada’s 2010 Winter Olympics. His recordings have been used for documentaries, television and film in North America, Japan, Ireland, and the U.K. Gilliat began performing straight out of high school before studying jazz at Capilano College, where he received a scholarship, graduating with top honours. At age 26 he embraced flamenco guitar, inspired by the incredible sounds of Paco de Lucia, Vicente Amigo, Nino Josele and many others. Gilliat spent the next six years studying, practising eight to 10 hours a day to master his instrument. Gilliat’s dedication has been richly rewarded with a highly successful performing and recording career, performing with notable artists such as blues guitarist Jimmy D. Lane and rock band Hinder, and opening for Cirque du Soleil and Mae Moore. He has recorded five CDs to date, including 2009’s Winter Strings, and has recorded an instructional guitar DVD. Gilliat has received several awards, including the Grand Prize at the BOSS Loop Station 2009 Championship National Finals at the Montreal Jazz Festival. Guest artist flamenco dancer Stephanie Pedraza has been performing for
opportunity to study with Vancouver’s great percussionist, educator and producer Sal Ferreras. Dewitt draws inspiration from drummers such as Buddy Rich and Stewart Copeland. The John Gilliat
Quartet takes the stage at the Vernon Jazz Club, 3000-31st St., downtown, above Nolan’s, Saturday at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:15 p.m. and tickets are $20 ($15 for VJS members) at the Bean Scene and Bean to Cup.

OSO crackles with passion
S
unday marked the well attended Okanagan Symphony’s season opener. It was dedicated to Beethoven, and included two of his greatest works. Beethoven wrote his only violin concerto for his violinist friend, Franz Clement, for a benefit concert for him. But the solo violin pages were delivered so late that the ink was still wet, and there was no time for rehearsal. The event didn’t go well, and the piece was forgotten until revived after Beethoven’s death by Mendelssohn. Now one of the most important of all violin concertos, OSO conductor Rosemary Thomson described it as “the most sublime piece he ever wrote.” At the after-concert reception, I asked distinguished Canadian soloist Jasper Wood about his instrument. It was a 95-year-old Scarampella. But for four years he had played a Stradivarius, owned by the Canada Council. The difference? “The Scarampella really is my violin. We just click! It’s like a wife, whereas, the Strad is like the beauty queen you dated at high school.” In the first movement, after
a sedate first theme, the solo violin entered for the second theme, followed by the first cadenza (a solo improvisation, while the conductor waits.) Cadenzas vary from one soloist to another, but they’re mostly standard renderings. Wood played the Fritz Kreisler cadenzas, the most commonly used. Very evident on Sunday was the rapport between Wood and Thomson. Jim Elderon Soloist and orchestra beautifully alternated the layered phrases, both of them in perfect rhythm and harmony. (Jazz musicians call this “trading.”) The main event was the fifth concerto. Little did Beethoven know that his first four notes would become the most famous in all of classical music – di-didi-daaah. (In morse code, the letter V.) During the war the BBC, prompted by Churchill, used the music phrase as a call-sign to occupied Europe, inspiring them to victory against Germany. And Thomson told us: “During rehearsals I thought of the parallel with the Chilean miners – in the dark, being lifted into the light.” The four-note motif is to be

heard throughout the whole symphony. Often we’d hear the phrase from one section of the orchestra, then the echo from another –– again, “trading.” The phrase bounced around, sometimes loud, sometimes very quiet, often in the background, but always present, and Thomson held the whole ensemble together at a cracking pace. Needless to say the audience loved it. The concert began with a piece by Canadian composer Elizabeth Raum. (Chosen because this week in Kelowna she’s one of the classical nominees at the Western Canada Music Awards.) In 2005 she was asked by the Royal Winnipeg Ballet to compose a new full-length ballet for Carmen, and here we were treated to Overture to Carmen – The Passion. Never actually part of the original ballet, Raum had compiled her definitive moments – opening fanfare, soldier’s march, Carmen’s love song with Don Jose, and his fight with Zuniga. Commissioned as a traditional romantic piece for full orchestra, it was everything you could wish for –– melodic, dramatic –– truly an excellent season opener.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Because opportunities might not occur right off the bat, try to remain patient. Even though you might have your work cut out for you, all should go well in the end. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Put your lesser objectives on the back burner, because you are far better equipped to handle major assignments than you are small, insignificant ones. Use this day wisely. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Make any promising developments you have going for you career-wise your top priorities. There are excellent indications that you will be quite fortunate in many venues. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Don’t throw your authority away, because most situations will work out far better under your direction. Things will turn out okay under a surrogate, but not as great as when you’re in charge. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Shaky matters your financial affairs will begin taking a new positive trend. Seize advantage of what occurs, in order to get money matters more in line with what you can handle. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) A good financial transaction you make will have an excellent chance of becoming even more bountiful. A well-respected friend or associate is apt to be responsible for this.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) When meeting anyone who performs a similar job as you, you should be as pleasant and friendly as you can. There is an excellent chance that s/he will be responsible for introducing you to a significant contact.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder General Francisco de la Lastra, a Chilean military officer and, in 1814, first Supreme Director of Chile, promulgated a law: “After the last of 16 mounting screws has been removed from an access cover, it will be discovered that the wrong access cover has been removed.” At the bridge table, try to have the frame of mind that whatever might go wrong, will go wrong. In today’s deal, most players would go down in six notrump, then complain they were unlucky. But the cautious would assume a bad break and work out the best way to survive. What would you do after West leads the spade jack? South’s response showed a balanced hand
with 13-15 points and denied four hearts. North overbid slightly, but liked having all of his points in aces and kings. You have 11 top tricks: three spades, three hearts, four diamonds and one club. It looks trivial to get the extra winner from hearts. And most of the time the missing hearts will divide 3-3 or 4-2. But what if they are 5-1 or 6-0? Let’s look at 6-0 first. If West has them, you are doomed. But if East has all six, you can succeed by playing a low heart from the board, planning to put in your eight. (If East plays an honor, you take the trick and run the eight on the way back.) What about 5-1? You
could cash the queen, succeeding if the 10 or jack falls. But if you collect only low cards, you will fail. How about trying a low heart to your eight? This gains when West has a low singleton or East has a singleton honor. It is the best play, working almost 92 percent of the time.

Q: A:
How do you get the best returns from a promotional product?
Tip # 2 Three current trends to consider Green: Eco Friendly products made from biological biodegradable materials are doing well. People are becoming more environmentally conscious and expect from you and your business to take responsibility and do your part to make the world a little greener. Colors are also important: Striking colors are at the moment important. Colors like purple, pink, yellow and blue are popular. Why order a standard promotion item with your logo printed on it if you can design the promotional items in your own company color and style? Promotional Products with a function: Cheap giveaways without a function really mean nothing. Effective Promotional Products have a useful function that the user appreciates. Your client does not expect a t-shirt with a logo, your customer expects a t-shirt with reflective edges (convenience within the traffic or while running). A baseball cap is nice but a lightweight cap that can be used for sports or outdoor activities is of course much better. In short, an useful gift in your company´s style in one of the trend colours which is environmental friendly promotional item, might just be the product you are looking for.

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

Tips for coping include: 1) establish a new daily routine to promote productivity and a feeling of usefulness, 2) exercise daily for stress management, 3) get support from family, friends, associates, 4) seek professional job search assistance from one of the many free employment services in your area. These employment specialists can help you to analyze your skills, identify prospective employers, and assist with all the documentation and interview skills to help make your job search a success faster than you can do by yourself.

Q: A:
Anita Suess, CHRP, CCDP
Q: A:
When a toilet is flushed or a faucet is opened the water pressure drops and cold water is now being supplied to another location. This causes a lack of cold water at the shower resulting in the water temperature increasing. A guaranteed fix to this problem is to install a sophisticated device called a pressure balancing valve. This valve regulates the shower temperature according to the pressure in the cold and hot water lines.

Q: A:
I heard that there are all sorts of benefits from being self-employed – is that true?
One of the major advantages is the many deductions from income available to the selfemployed that are not available to employed people. In addition, self-employed people do not have pay Employment Insurance premiums. But you are also not eligible to collect Employment Insurance. Also, self-employed people have to pay double the Canada Pension Plan premiums, both their employee portion plus an equivalent employer portion. Finally, selfemployed people are not eligible for many of the fringe benefits most employees take for granted such as holiday and vacation time and medical benefits. So, yes, there are benefits to being self-employed, but it may come at a price.

Sports B Snakes salvage weekend split EDITOR: Kevin Mitchell s s SPORTS VERNONMORNINGSTAR COM
GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Vipers looked to be in danger of clocking out early Saturday night at Wesbild Centre. Down a goal less than a minute into the game and still feeling the sting of a 3-2 loss to the Trail Smoke Eaters the night before, the Snakes were in need of a spark. It came in the form of three boardshaking checks delivered by rookie Colton Sparrow during a 45-second shift midway through the first period. After that, the Vipers seemed to come alive, grounding Trail 3-1, their first win in three attempts against the Smokies this season. With Viper forward Kyle Murphy serving a tripping penalty, the Smokies’ powerplay clicked just 31 seconds into the game as Sam Mellor’s backdoor pass found Travis St. Denis (14th goal) with a wide open net. “Tough loss last game and then first shift they get a goal. They were probably a little deflated, but slowly we started to get a little momentum,â€? said Viper head coach Mark Ferner. “When Colton got out there he was moving his feet and finishing his checks and it got some life back into us. That’s what Colton can bring, and we need more guys like that‌ who are taking time and space away and finishing their checks.â€? Viper captain Dave Robinson (6th) barged his way to the front of the net, and with a Bobby Orr-esque dive across the crease, wrapped the puck around Trail netminder Matt Larose farside to equalize at 8:20. The third-place Vipers (8-5-1-2) visit the first-place Penticton Vees (12-4) Friday night at South Okanagan Events Centre, and then return to Wesbild Saturday to entertain the Quesnel Millionaires (4-8-1). They will complete their three-game weekend with a matinee against the cellar-dwelling Prince

Trail Smoke Eaters Logan Proulx (10) and Brendan Urban (21) battle Vernon Viper defencemen Phillip Patenaude (second from left) and Brett Corkey in B.C. Hockey League action Saturday night at Wesbild Centre. The Vipers overcame an early deficit to earn a 3-1 win. George Spruce Kings (2-12-0-2) Sunday. Given the success starting keeper Kiefer Smiley has had against the Vipers (2-0, 95.74 save percentage), Trail head coach Jim Ingram admitted he was tempted to give him both weekend starts. “We talked about it‌ but I was happy with Matty (Larose). We needed to show that we’re confident in him, putting him against a very good team here. He gives us good games every night he’s in as well.â€? Vernon defenceman Max Mowat, taking a cross-ice feed from Mike Zalewski, ripped a powerplay goal through traffic for the winner at 10:40 of the first period, his first goal
of the season. Mowat, a late cut by the WHL Kamloops Blazers, was thrilled to collect first star before a hometown crowd of 1,800 fans. “It definitely feels good being at home and getting all that with all the fans going nuts,� smiled the Okanagan Rockets grad who moved to Vernon from Oakville, Ont. four years ago. “It’s definitely staring into the big lights here. When you’re small and you’re looking at these guys, you’re like ‘Wow, I want to be like them,’ and next thing you know, down the road you are one of them. It’s a good feeling.�
Ferner sees plenty of potential in the 17-year-old blueliner. “He just makes so many subtle plays out there that 17-year-olds shouldn’t be making. He’s got a lot of calmness to his game, he’s strong on his skates, he plays his 1-on-1s real well.� Larose (15 saves) had to be sharp in the second period, stopping John Knisley with his glove on a 3-on-1 rush. Later in the frame, the Nanaimo product flashed his left pad to deny Zalewski, who had received a slick back-door pass from Stevie Weinstein from the point. Vernon netminder Blake Voth (18 saves) came up with his best stop in the third period, making a sensational sprawling toe save on Mellor on a breakaway. Viper d-man Malcolm Lyles (2nd) added some insurance in the third period as he stretched out to get his stick on a centering feed from Knisley at 12:16. Trail defenceman Jake Baker, acquired from the Victoria Grizzlies as part of a threeplayer deal last week, liked how his new team battled to the end. “They had it in our end pretty much the whole time, but we kind of took it to them after that. The third period we kind of dominated, but just couldn’t bury it,� said the 6-foot-6 Port Moody native. SNAKE BITES: BCHL commissioner John Grisdale and executive director David Sales have each signed three-year contract extensions that will keep them at the league office through the 2013-14 season. Grisdale and Sales both joined the BCHL in 2003 and founded the league’s head office in Burnaby... Former Vipers Connor Jones (1+1), Kellen Jones (2A) and Scott Zurevinski (1A) propelled the NCAA Quinnipiac Bobcats to a 3-2 win over the Bentley Falcons in ECAC hockey action Friday night.
3EXSMITH GETS 2ENEGADES ROLLING IN -AINLINE WIN OVER 6EES Morning Star Staff
Curtis Sexsmith sniped a pair of unassisted goals as the Royal LePage Renegades grounded the host Penticton Vees 5-3 in Okanagan Mainline Bantam Tier 1 Hockey League play Saturday. The game went back and forth for the opening 10 minutes with both teams tentative. Sexsmith gave Vernon the lead at 8:07 and with only three seconds left in the first period, Cole Woodliffe banged around behind the net and fed Logan Geefs in front. Sexsmith started the second period with another solo effort. Carson Richards scored the next Renegade goal when Blaine Caton fed him a lead pass at center and Richards carried the puck through most
of the Vees, finishing with a clean top-shelf shot. Penticton reeled off three unanswered goals before Vernon regained control and then iced the win with a goal from Richards late in the third (assisted from Jacolb Dolinar and Don Robinson). Tyler Landry recorded the win with several big saves "It was rewarding to see the boys win as they attempt to execute the things they are working on in practice," said Renegade head coach Todd Richards. The Renegades lost 5-3 to the Okanagan Hockey Academy in exhibition play Saturday in Penticton. Vernon was missing five players due to a referee clinic so used four Tier 2 affiliates.

Dennon Leibel adding one and Geefs earning two assists. The Bantam Tier 3 Knights dropped a pair of league games, falling 8-3 to the Winfield Bruins and 10-1 to the Kelowna Rockets. Austin Derkach started the scoring for Vernon in Saturday's game in Armstrong, assisted by Jeff Hiscoe and Hayden Chase. Jordan Rea, from Hayden Chase and Derkach, and hard working affiliate player Connor Smidt, closed out the offence. The Knights were in tough in Sunday's game versus the powerful Rockets. Chase started the scoring 10 seconds into the first period assisted by Jaxon Toth.

Hawrys bags two in loss Continued from B1 The Vernon Home Building Centre Vipers fell 6-3 to Pursuit of Excellence in Okanagan Mainline Midget Tier 1 Hockey League play Sunday in Winfield. Brett Hawrys scored twice, including a beauty top shelf, and Trevor Pickett added the other against the high-flying POE squad coached by Vernon native Troy Mick. Colton Thibault contributed two assists and Michael Hails was solid in net. "We played better," said Vernon head coach Jim Armstrong, assisted behind the bench by Pat Field. "It's an improvement over last time against POE (a 6-1 loss to open the season). We're getting there." The Vipers are 1-2 in league play and face the host Kelowna Rockets, coached by former NHLer Brent Gilchrist, on Sunday. The Watkins Motors Mustangs clipped the Kamloops Blazers 6-5 in Pee Wee AAA action Saturday at Wesbild Centre with Jagger Williamson scoring the winner with 7.4 seconds remaining. Mustang goalie Josh Evans made several timely saves, while the offence was generated by Jarrett Campbell with 2+1, Kaden Black with 1+2 and Connor Johnston and Matt Kowalski with one goal apiece. Gage Kopp had two assists. The 2-0 Mustangs head to Kamloops on Friday for their second tournament of the year against a tough field of coastal and interior teams. The Sun Valley Source For Sports Sabres went 1-3 in their eight-team home Pee Wee
Tier 3 Tournament. After going 1-2 in round-robin play, the Sabres lost 7-5 to the Salmon Arm Silvertips in a hard-fought playoff game Sunday. Brady Marzocco had a strong showing with 3+2. Other players with stellar offensive showings in preliminary play were Brian Ferguson with 3+1, Reed Cashato with 1+3 and Owen Beliveau with 2+1. Both goalies, Nathan Spark and Conor Webb, saw a lot of action throughout the weekend and were solid. Delta built up a 3-2 lead and hung on to ambush Merritt 10-2 in the A final. In Atom Development play, the H&L Glass Wolfpack used a balanced attack in a 7-1 thumping of the Westside Warriors Saturday afternoon at Royal LePage Place. Powell Connor, captain Joe Eggert, Nick Cherkowski (shorthanded breakaway), Eric Noren, Josh Bridge, Cory Lazar and Tanner Wright handled the Wolfpack offence. Dylan Blazek gave up one goal while making several clutch stops in the first half, while Caden Colmorgen shut the door the rest of the way with a few key glove saves. Finnian O'Keefe pocketed a pair of assists, while defenceman Lincoln Conner played a steady, aggressive game for the 2-1 Pack. The North Okanagan Knights iced the Abbotsford Hawks 6-0 Sunday to win the consolation final of the Winfield Bruins Atom Development Tournament. Matthew Dolinar supplied 2+1, while other goals came from Jake Crandlemire,

Bombers bounce Dragons Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Blue Bombers brushed back the Kelowna Dragons 12-0 in Southern Interior Atom Football League action Sunday at Grahame Park, clinching a playoff berth. Zachary Smith recorded a dozen solo tackles to fire up the Bomber defence, while Kaden Doughty rushed for more than 150 yards, scoring on a 70-yard scamper early in the third quarter. Trey Winstanley had a great game running the ball and scored his first touchdown of the year, punching it in from the one-yard line in the fourth quarter to put the Bombers up by two scores. "Levi Lee and Levi Derowin were strong on the offensive line all game long," said Bomber coach Jeff Anderson. "On defence, the Bombers held the Dragons to only a few first downs and were constantly in the backfield all game long. Strong play on defence was also given by Devin Hofsink, Liam Cyr, Ethan Anderson and Tristen Baker. Standing out on the defensive line was Nez Ford with a few solo tackles along with a handful of group tackles." In Pee Wee league play, the Vernon Yellow Jackets fell 24-6 to the Kelowna Dragons. Vernon’s first offensive play of the game was a 70-yard touchdown scored on an end around by
Josh Hyer. Unfortunately, Vernon's special teams let the Dragons back in the game with a touchdown on the ensuing kickoff. The rest of the first half was a defensive battle with the ball going back and forth. Kelowna scored with one minute remaining in the first half making it 12-6. In the second half, Kelowna showed their nifty passing game and scored on the third play of the second half on a great reception. Late in the fourth quarter, the Dragons sealed the game with a long drive that resulted in another TD. Keegan Vicklund led the bee hive with some good rushes. "As usual for the Vernon defence, the name of the game was team work," said Jackets' head coach Ed Huber. "Ten players contributed with solo tackles and leading the way was Josh Hyer and Keith Jones with four solo tackles each. On special teams, Morgan Nichols kept the game close with his excellent punts." The 3-3 Yellow Jackets entertain the Kamloops Sunday at noon. The Vernon Magnums host Penticton in the provincial nine-man semifinal Sunday at Grahame (time to be announced).

Knights streak stopped Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan Knights' special teams fizzled as they lost 6-4 to the Kimberley Dynamiters in Kootenay International Junior Hockey League action Saturday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. The Knights (8-5 and second in the Shuswap Division) went 0-for-6 with the man advantage while allowing the Nitros three powerplay goals on eight chances, snapping a three-game win streak. "We had a bad night on special teams," said Knights' head coach Sylvain Leone. "They (Nitros) had a much simpler powerplay than what we've seen, but they got shots through and they went in. We struggled in our breakout so our powerplay was disorganized. We get one or two powerplay goals and it's a different game." Defencemen Brendan Jost (second of season) and Taylor Greatrix (first) scored 18 seconds apart early in the first period to give the Knights a 2-0 lead. Kimberley (6-6 and third in the Eddie Mountain Division) equalized with second-period goals from Brock Leavins and Richard Hubscher. Clayton Tilleman, with his teamhigh 10th of the season, put the
Dynamiters up 3-2 on a powerplay 4:16 into the third. TJ Dumonceaux (5th) tied it for North Okanagan six minutes later. The Nitros went in front again 1:37 later when Ben Greenaway connected at even strength. The Knights evened things up 93 seconds later when Steven Pantazopoulos scored his second of the season. Kimberley got a powerplay tally from Senate Patton with 2:45 left to play and an insurance goal from Kristian Petit with 17 seconds remaining. Colin Minardi and Shawn Holliday each supplied two assists for the Knights, who outshot Kimberley 29-28. Tory Caldwell took the win, while Chris Hurry suffered the loss. The Knights are four points back of the division-leading Revelstoke Grizzlies, 6-4 losers Sunday to the host Sicamous Eagles. Vernon's Chris Kingdon, 20, recorded 26 saves for the win. Kingdon earned second star with 27 stops as the visiting Eagles iced the Princeton Posse 4-2 Saturday night. Sicamous is 7-7-0-1, one point back of North Okanagan. The Knights entertain the Golden Rockets (5-6-0-1) Friday night and the Penticton Lakers (5-8) Saturday night.

Raiders brush off Sun WARREN HENDERSON Black Press Sports
KELOWNA – One day soon, Mark Hester will be able to put his final season of junior football into perspective. But for now, in the wake of Sunday’s gut-wrenching 16-14 defeat in the B.C. Football Conference final, the Okanagan Sun receiver remains in state of mild disbelief. “It doesn’t really feel like it’s supposed to be finished yet,” said Hester, a Mt. Boucherie product who is one of nine players graduating from the program. “You set out to win a championship, then when you don’t, it’s a little confusing. It was all picture perfect – we finished first, we got home field advantage, we were ready to win it all. The way it turned out…it’s an empty feeling.” With close to 2,500 mostly orange-clad Okanagan faithful in attendance on a sunny day at the Apple Bowl, the stage appeared ideally set for the Sun to claim its first BCFC crown in six years – and to end the Vancouver Island Raiders’ four-year reign. But, in what was a nail-biter from start to finish, miscues and missed opportunities saw to it that
2010 would not be the Year of the Sun. Steven Shott’s field goal attempt on the game’s final play sailed wide left. “That’s the pressure that comes with the territory as a kicker,” said head coach Peter McCall “It’s all going to be your shoulders at the end like that. Shooter’s (Shott) a great kicker, he’s the best kicker in the league and to line it up to win the game, even in the professional ranks, it happens all the time that guys miss from that range. Shooter’s a great athlete and he’ll be back to play more football.” Shott, the BCFC all-star kicker who set a national junior record with a 57-yard field goal earlier this season, was good on just two of six field goal attempts on Sunday. One of them was blocked late in the first half which the Raiders later converted into their only touchdown of the day. Still, Shott’s last-ditch attempt may not have been necessary if not for a major foul by the Sun with under two minutes to play. A roughing the kicker call allowed the Raiders to retain possession inside Sun territory. With 28 seconds left in the game, Mark Mueller booted a 28-yard field goal to put Vancouver Island ahead to stay.

Hitmen hardly over the hill Morning Star Staff
Don’t go booking oldtimers ice time for the Silver Star Hitmen just yet. The aging Hitmen added a few young guns in the offseason and are hotter than Canadian pop star Justin Bieber in the Interior Hockey League. Rhett Ballard pulled the hat trick and set up two others as the Hitmen brushed back the Bluejay Concrete Hornets 8-6 Monday night at Priest Valley Arena, improving to 3-1. Former Viper captain Garth Gartner, a new signing, added 2+1 and Kyle Pliszka also scored twice for the Hitmen. Jeff Scott supplied 1+2 and 40-something Hedley Larsen bagged two helpers. One-time sniper Warren Carter, who turns 40 in February, had one key assist. Ex-Viper and Nanaimo Clipper Trevor Keenan earned 2+3 for the Hornets, while Darren Cecchini and Blair Fernley also scored twice. The Hitmen rolled over the Alexander’s Beach Pub Blackhawks 6-3 Sunday night at Wesbild Centre. Waylon Folliott and Dave Gillespie each scored twice, while Jeff Kuzniar and Scott added singles. Ballard bagged three helpers. Jamie Renton had three goals for the 1-3 Hawks. Folliott and Ryan Gilowski of the Hawks were tossed for fighting early in the final period. Gilowski also received a match penalty. In other Sunday play at Wesbild, Logan Massie scored twice as the Westwood Cabinets Flyers grounded the Aquatico Bay Bar & Grill Sharks 6-2. Manish Bhatt, Chris Glinsbockel, Glayne Goin and Richard Hoglund also scored for the 3-0 Flyers. Mike Fochler scored twice for the 2-2 Sharks. Steve Vallier pocketed 2+1 as the Re/Max
Rangers ripped the winless Kal Tire Knights 8-1 Sunday night at PV. Tom Ouchi, Glenn Mitchell, Shawn Bourgeois, Brad Kowalski, Tim Proctor and Scott Kowalski also scored for the Rangers (3-1). Jason Richter replied for the 0-5 Knights. Steve Richter collected 3+2 as Moe Joe’s upended M&K Ready-Mix Bruins 7-4 at PV. Kyle Beadman, with a pair, Darcy Thomas and Colin Fitzgerald also scored for Moe Joe’s (2-3). Duane Dennis, with 2+1, Terry Lowe and Dean Francks answered for the Bruins (2-2). Linemates Rob Bauml and Brad Sindlinger each scored twice as the defending playoff champion R.E. Postill & Sons Orphans toppled Godard Excavating Predators 6-3 Saturday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre in Armstrong. Grady Gare and Jeremy Silzer added singles for the 3-1 Orphans, who got four assists from Chris Bradford. Justin Horochuk, with 1+2, Logan Stockley and Matt Litzenberger responded for the Preds (1-3). The Sutton Acadians spread their scoring around in a 7-5 win over Moe Joe’s at PV. Steve Burke and Curtis Wakelin each counted 1+2 for the 2-1 Acadians, while Jerry Reinhardt, Mike Sutch, Darrell Rahier, Ben Cave and Mike Johnson also connected. Colin Fitzgerald paced Moe Joe’s with 2+1, singles gong to Kyle Smith, Mike Britton and Aaron Luprypa. Jason Elders supplied 6+5 as the Teale Utility Canucks ambushed the Hornets 17-7 Saturday at PV. Rob Killingbeck added 3+4, Tyler Quiring had 2+6, Delaney Halifax provided 2+5 and Troy Killingbeck 2+2 for the Canucks (4-0).

With just eight skaters, the Vernon People Eaters played with fire and intensity from the opening whistle to stop the host Kelowna Cobras 7-3 in Novice ringette action Saturday. Lance Spillett’s crew was led by the strong two-way play of Mackenzie Munro (3+1) and Kalen Webster (2+2), whose spin-o-rama moves kept Kelowna off guard all morning. Kinsey Corday (1+1) and Georgia Lannon rounded out the scoring. Josey Nerling was outstanding defensively, as was Julie Francis. Kayla Spillett was rock solid in net, turning back many Cobra attempts. The People Eaters travel to Salmon Arm Saturday for three games. In other Novice action, Team Red split their weekend games, starting with an 11-3 loss to the Kelowna Dynamite Saturday. Scoring in support of Vernon keeper Carley Newman were Levi Knopf, Grace Cornell and Kalen Webster. Hailey Quiring picked up two assists. The Reds rebounded Sunday afternoon by pummeling Westide 11-3. Quiring and Webster each earned hat tricks, while other offence came from Bryn Taylor-Hawes (2G), Kenzie Koshure (2+1) and Kyra Olsen (1+1). Rylie Marchand earned the win with defensive support from Maria Alexis, Brooke Buller and Giselle Torres. The Vernon Dinos opened their
Petite season on Saturday with a 13-7 drubbing of Kelowna #1. Kendra Ostafie (5+1) and Shelby Connors (3G)put on a scoring clinic, with other scoring coming from M. Munroe (2G), Chelsea Marshall (1+3), Cassidy Marshall and Madison Fox. Abygayle Williamson had two assists, Sophie Granley had one. Brooke Holtskog was strong in net for the Dinos, who got offensive support from Ellen Campbell, Jillian Pipke, Makayla Vanderzwan and Sierra Tompkins. Taryn Smith notched the winner, her fifth goal of the game, with eight seconds remaining as the Nixon Wenger squad outlasted host West Kelowna 7-6 in Tween B play Saturday. Carly Alexander collected the Wenger crew’s other goals while Ashleigh Cohen made some outstanding saves in the last five minutes to preserve the win. The Vernon Junior B team fell 9-5 to the Shuswap Tween A’s Sunday. The Vernon defence of Morgan Vanderzwan, Kate Alexander, Dinushi Fernando, Gabrielle Nicol and Kimberly Wilson worked hard to help out new goalie Amie McKinney. Forwards Danielle Jackson, Kelsey Paulin, Paige Webster and Hailey Correale were successful in moving the ring, enabling Dayna Hanley to score a hat trick with Megan Vadnais adding two goals. Assists went to Jackson, Correale, Webster, Paulin and Wilson.

FALLON SMITH Special to The Morning Star
When I heard of the January earthquake that devastated Haiti, I knew that I wanted to help. I applied to a non-profit organization called New Reality International shortly after, to join in one of their frequent medical-aid trips. I didn’t think that I would be accepted as I am only a 20-year-old nursing student with no experience in disaster relief nursing. When I received the e-mail inviting me to join the September relief team, I was beyond excited and honoured to be given the title of “First Nursing Student” in North America to accompany any team from this organization. While in Haiti I had the opportunity to work alongside American, Canadian and Haitian doctors and nurses from all different specialties and backgrounds. One of the highlights of my mission to Haiti was our mobile clinics. On these days we hopped on a bus and drove (sometimes as long as three hours) with our medical team, translators and pharmaceutical supplies to both remote and urban tent-cities where we set up our own clinics for the day. During these mobile clinics we saw hundreds of patients with the most popular problems being scabies, worms, STI’s and malnutrition. At the Haitian Christian Mission where we lodged, we had the opportunity to spend a few days working in their hospital, where I had some of my most profound experiences. As a student nurse I was able to bounce around different divisions of the hospital and help out, including the operating room, pre and post surgical rooms, emergency, and the walk-in clinic. I was also honoured to help in the obstetrics room with the Haitian midwives, where I had the incredible experience of helping deliver a baby. The most difficult experience I had was losing a young pregnant woman to preeclampsia, a common problem amongst pregnant women in Haiti which accounts for a large number of deaths annually. As a nursing student with limited experiences in death, this event had a profound effect on me. After performing CPR for a few minutes unsuccessfully, we were ordered by the doctor to step back and let her go. I will never forget the feeling of helplessness as we stepped back, knowing that because of the clinic’s lack of appropriate resources,

Hearing the baby’s heart beat on ultrasound during the mother’s death and knowing that there was nothing we could do to save it was the most heart-wrenching experience I have had in my nursing practice to date, and I imagine it will prove to be so throughout my entire career. Since I have come home, people keep asking me what I learned from my experience in Haiti. In short, I have learned just how fortunate I am, and what is truly important to me. I was inspired by the unbroken spirit and grateful attitude of the Haitian people. I remember driving by tent cities where all people have is the clothes on their back, their family (if they were lucky), and a tent to live in, yet they had signs everywhere reading “Thank you Jesus.” At first glance these camps were a vision of pity and a source of sadness to me; these people had nothing — no material objects or money to their names. Yet they have unconditional faith, love and true happiness. I have never seen so much dancing, laughing, singing and gratitude in any of my travels. While in Haiti I was blessed to have made some incredible friends amongst the Haitian Christian Mission staff, who I will
love and be proud to know forever. One in particular is an amazing young man with a huge heart who is now living in a refugee camp with six other family members in a tent. It is my next mission to help him and his beautiful family raise enough money to build a home. It costs about $10,000 to build a home in Haiti and myself and the rest of the New Reality team are determined to make this happen for him. It costs $10/per bag of cement, and right now they only can afford to buy one bag every few weeks. I am planning to combine whatever money raised by November and send it off via Western Union to this family to give them hopefully a big head start to their future. If you as an individual or as a business owner can make a donation of any size, it will be greatly appreciated. If you are interested in giving a donation please contact me via e-mail at falsmi@ hotmail.com. Please help me in my cause to give back to a much deserving young man who has given so much. A piece of my heart will forever be in Haiti, and I am eager to return on another medical mission soon. A sincere thank you to all who supported me and my cause financially — I had the trip and experience of a lifetime.
More isn’t always better
Q
When is more not necessarily better? A. When most people, particularly older users, sit down in front of their computer typically what “apps” are they using? Most Vernon PC Users’ Club probably it will be an e-mail client, a web browser, a word processor or maybe a simple game like solitaire. So why is it that most retailers continue to push computers with processor speeds in the two to three gigahertz
COMPUTER QUESTION
range, megabytes of RAM, gigabytes of disk storage, dedicated graphics processing chips and high resolution screens? It doesn’t make economic sense to spend up to $1,000 and more on an overpowered computer when you can get for a couple of hundred dollars one that will handle what you want to do. It’s like buying a Maserati or a Hummer to get the kids to school on time, or drive down to the corner store. Intel has coined the term “Netbook” for small, laptop computers that are capable of running low impact applications that do not require the massive resources described above, but are still able to run relatively efficient operating systems like Windows
XP and Linux (not Windows VISTA). Basic applications, which would NOT include those that are resource intensive like heavy duty gaming, video editing and streaming video, run quite happily under these operating systems. Netbooks are light, compact, portable devices that are very utilitarian and, even though one would not turn heads as a Maserati would, it will send an e-mail to a friend, check on the local weather or maybe compose a poem quite nicely, thank you! The Vernon PC Users’ Club meets the second Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Schubert Centre. For more information, call Betty at 542-7024 or June at 549-7221.

Morning Star Staff
For most people, this time of year brings thoughts of trick-or-treating, costume parties, and a fun night out. But for many others in the Okanagan, the cold means thinking about warmer places to live, and often, a choice must be made between food and shelter. That is why on Halloween weekend, starting at noon on Oct. 30, and running until 5 p.m., for a $2 donation or a non-perishable food item for the food bank, The Threads That Bind Us invites you to a Mini-Psychic Fair. Your donation gets you in the door, and then $5 buys you a 15-minute tarot card reading, a conversation with a relative who has passed on, a brief message from your spirit guides, a short consulta-

tion on the numerology of your name or birth date, or a short sample of a variety of alternative and energy healing services. “We do these once every couple of months,” says Diane Morrison, owner of The Threads That Bind Us and one of the tarot readers. “We believe in giving back to the community. It’s also a great way to encourage people to come in and try a sample of what we do here for a great price.” Causes that the Mini-Psychic Fairs have supported include the Vernon Women’s Centre, the Horse Rescue Society, Pagan Pride, Run for the Cure and local fire rescue efforts. The event takes place at The Threads That Bind Us, 3004B-31st St. For more information, call 250540-0341, or see www.thethreadsthatbindus.net

Also remember to do a bit of research first since some flower seeds, like those of a tulip plant, may take five to seven years to form a flower (which is why they are usually grown from a bulb) and could leave you wondering where you went wrong! So, if you are like me and the first sign of falling leaves makes you tempted to gaze outside and think idle thoughts about your garden as it is settling into hibernation, keep in mind that your garden isn’t done yet!

I do now: sticky fingers (from the Cosmos pods), a slightly sore back, and a great sense of satisfaction! In a couple of hours we were able to collect a lot of seeds that will be used by the Communities in Bloom committee to make plantable bookmarks to be given away next spring. Here are some tips

T
he beautiful fall weather we’ve been enjoying lately has been perfect for cleaning up gardens and preparing the flower beds for the winter, which unfortunately, is sure to follow sooner than anyone wants it to. Eating foods in season adds variety, interest and nutrition to our diets and right now root vegetables are in abundance. With that in mind I have a couple of different recipes to offer this morning.

Wied receives award Morning Star Staff
Vernon resident Tannis Wied will be taking the next step in her educational journey with the assistance of $1,000 in awards and bursaries from the province, through the BC Housing Education Awards Program. Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster said his government supports the post-secondary educational goals of social housing residents by offering these 93 awards and bursaries. “I am proud of Tannis Wied for her efforts to become a Registered Massage Therapist and for being awarded a Minerva Foundation Award for aboriginal women to further their education,” he said. Wied’s $1,000 award will assist her in completing her massage training and bachelor of science degree. Wied is a single mother with two sons aged seven and 12. Her eldest suffers with mental health, learning and behavioural challenges and although she’s had limited financial resources, Wied has pursued courses and workshops to better understand her son’s needs. “I am elated to be one of the five women selected to receive a Minerva Foundation Award and thank BC Housing for recognizing my pursuit of higher education,” she said. “By completing my massage training I will have the opportunity to realize a great career path and earn the resources to meet the needs of my family.” Tenants living in subsidized housing or receiving subsidies through the Rental Assistance Program were eligible to apply for one of the 93 bursaries and awards made this year to put towards tuition and school expenses. Applicants submitted a personal statement describing their educational and personal goals, and challenges they have overcome, as well as letters of reference and academic transcripts. The program offers five types of awards and bursaries.
EXPOSED! Brian Lauer a “Regular Joe”
This guy, Darren Weeks, promises all sorts of things to us average Canadians about how we can get out of the “Canadian Rat Race” and on to the “Fast Track”. He claims that people can start from scratch and become “Rich” in 5 years or less. He talks about wrestling back control of your ¿nances from the Big Banks and Financial Planners. He says he teaches people how to buy Canadian Real Estate with “No Money Down”, and many other “creative” money making ideas and so on. Every time I used to read one of his ads, I thought, “Who could be dumb enough to fall for this guy’s smoke & mirrors?” Now, I’m going to tell you the raw truth about Darren Weeks and his “How to Get Rich in Canada” stuff. My name is Brian Lauer. I live in Prince George, B.C. with my wife Donna and our 2 kids. I grew up in Saskatchewan, moved to B.C. in the early 70’s. After doing different jobs in the Alberta oil patch, and then in construction, I married Donna in 1991. A few years after getting married I was out of work for a few months and I decided to get into plumbing. It was pretty rough trying to make it on apprentice wages of only $9 bucks an hour back then – especially with a family to support. Once I got my Plumber’s ticket things were OK, but I always thought I could do better in life instead of just grinding it out 9 - 5. I was doing OK with my plumbing work. But at the end of the day I was always trading hours for dollars – and there always seemed to be more expenses than money in the bank. If I ever stopped working, the money stopped coming in. I had a $15,000 line of credit that I honestly thought I’d never pay off. Then in 2001 I saw an ad for one of these “Free Rich Dad” events. I had read “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and I thought what the heck, maybe I should be a little more open minded – what can I lose at a ‘free’ seminar anyway? But in the back of my mind I was sure that they were going to try to get me all jazzed up and excited, and then try to sell me some $5,000.00 real estate course. I had told myself that I would only stay at the event until the “pitch” started, then I’d go home. What Donna and I discovered at Darren’s “How to Get Rich in Canada” seminar really shocked us. First of all, I was waiting the whole time for the “other shoe to fall” and wondering when I was going to get “pitched” the expensive Real Estate course. It never happened. The most expensive thing I could buy there was a book – and they weren’t hardly mentioned. What was mentioned
– he also goes in depth about Business and Investing). Over the next couple of months we got cracking and started buying our ¿rst investment properties. Now, just a few short years later, we have over 29 ‘doors’ (rental units) in B.C. and Alberta and we are looking for another apartment building to buy with our investors. The positive cashÀow from our properties is more than enough to replace my plumber’s wages. Now I work at plumbing because I want to, not because I have to. While others in my ¿eld are worried about the economy and impending work shortages – all I can see is opportunity! And I know that if anything ever happened to me, we would be just ¿ne with our Real Estate. Not only that, but we learned how to buy them right and at the right price, and our Net Worth now of¿cially makes us millionaires twice over! (Which is sweet revenge for all the snickers we got from friends and family when we ¿rst told them what we were up to). Now you might be asking yourself how such a thing could happen to a blue-collar guy like me. The answer is simple. It’s all about learning how real proven and effective wealth creation systems work. I’m not talking about the “late nite t.v.” crap that comes in from South of the border either. I’m talking about proven methods and strategies that work right here in Canada – our home and native land. In spite of everything you’ve heard about investing in Real Estate being ‘risky’ – or the failure rate of starting your own business – or how crappy investing can be (and it can be – if you do it the way the ‘establishment’ tells you to) you too can learn how to get rich sooner rather that later. So here is the raw truth about Darren Weeks: Unlike most of those ‘pretend’ experts out there, he actually teaches stuff that works. He not only teaches it – he does it! He walks his talk and has businesses, investments and lots of Real Estate. Just like me, you’ve seen his ads in this paper before. You’ve gotten postcards from him. Or maybe you’ve seen him on TV, or heard his ads on the radio. If you haven’t been to one of his “How to Get Rich in Canada” events yet, I don’t know why. Maybe you think you’re too smart and know it all, or that it is going to be a rip off, like I did. But if you’re so smart, why aren’t you rich and happy? Maybe you are doing well already – but you could do better (many of Darren’s students are ‘retired’ in their 30’s or 40’s). Maybe you just don’t want to be sold something that’ll be a waste of your hard-earned money. About that you can
or given anything to write this about Darren Weeks. I am a regular Joe just like you. I did this as my way of saying thanks to Darren for everything he’s done for me and my family. And I’m not the only person who feels this way. Darren has spoken to over 100,000 Canadians at his events since he started in 2001. Many, just like me, are now making more money than they ever did before and are reaching their own ¿nancial dreams. My wife Donna just says “Wow” about how much we have accomplished and how much more we are going to do and have. We continue to go to Darren’s events as often as we can, because we always learn something new, and meet great new people. All I can say is, “don’t envy us. Join us” BRIAN LAUER, Prince George, B.C.

Lumber industry on the upswing with record exports
Lumby grads serve up most important meal of the day
Latest trade figures show that August was a record-breaking month for B.C. softwood lumber exports to China with 257 million board feet exported over a one-month period.
“August, by far and away, was the best sales month we have seen to date,” said Forests Minister Pat Bell. “We have already sold nearly 1.5 billion board feet and are on track to reach some-
where in the neighbourhood of 2.5 billion board feet in 2010.” Exports to China through the first eight months of the year are valued at about $342 million, up 71 per cent compared to $200
million for the same period in 2009. An even stronger fourth-quarter sales period is expected as Bell will lead, from Oct. 28 to Nov. 8, the largest ever B.C. forestry trade mission to China.
Morning Star Staff
Charles Bloom Secondary grads will be serving up a drive-thru breakfast Oct. 26. This event will run from 5:30 to 8 a.m. at Sheardown’s Super A Foods on

For a minimum $5 donation, you will receive a bag full of muffins, home baking, yogurt, a granola bar, juice, fruit and coffee. Also included randomly in many bags
will be prizes donated by various businesses throughout the community. “Come on out, support the kids and their safe grad program and have a delicious breakfast as well,” said Grahn.

bers’ participation in the recall campaign against B.C. Liberal MLAs to protest the imposition of the HST. The minutes quote party president Moe Sihota urging NDP members to get involved in the recall campaign. “Our members can be aggressive in campaigns but can’t say it is an NDP effort,” Sihota is quoted as saying in the documents, leaked by a party official to reporters last week. “We should set up as many participants in canvassing as possible in those constituencies that we can win.” The B.C. Liberals seized quickly on Sihota’s comments. “We now have proof that Carole James and the NDP were misleading the public when she said the NDP would not
be involved in recall,” said Chilliwack-Hope MLA Barry Penner, the B.C. Liberal environment minister. “These internal NDP documents put the lie to that public commitment, while also making it very clear that her party is planning to actively drive recall efforts.” James has refused to comment directly on the leaked documents, describing them as one person’s interpretation of the meeting. She said Sihota’s comments have always been consistent with her own, that individual party members can get involved but the party would use no resources to help. The Angus Reid poll put Campbell’s personal popularity at nine per cent, down three per cent since September. That’s the lowest rating
of any Canadian premier over the past two years in the company’s online surveys. The poll put NDP support at 49 per cent, up one point since September. The B.C. Liberals were down one point to 24 per cent support. The poll found 13 per cent support for the B.C. Green Party, and eight per cent for the B.C. Conservatives.

Guilty pleas made in BC Rail case TOM FLETCHER Black Press
A seven-year police investigation into corruption in the sale of BC Rail has ended with two former B.C. government employee agreeing to plead guilty. Dave Basi and Bobby Virk pleaded guilty to one count each of breach of trust and accepting a benefit linked to confidential bids for the $1-billion sale of BC Rail. Each was sentenced to two years less a day of house arrest, with a series of conditions including 150 hours of community service. Basi was also assessed a fine of $75,000. Police raided several offices at the B.C. legislature in December 2003, where the accused worked as ministerial assistants for finance and transportation.
Charges have been stayed against a third man on trial, Basi’s cousin, Aneal Basi, who was accused of money laundering. CN Rail won the bidding to take over the operation of BC Rail in 2003, beating out Denver-based Omnitrax. Virk and Dave Basi were accused of leaking confidential information about the deal. Kevin Falcon, who took over as transportation minister in January of 2004, terminated subsequent bidding for the Roberts Bank spur line after allegations of wrongdoing surfaced in the case. Pre-trial wrangling over evidence stretched out the case by years. The deal ends the trial before former finance minister Gary Collins and other senior offi-
cials of the B.C. Liberal government could testify. The case was sensational, not only for the legislature raid but the allegations made by RCMP investigators. Police intercepting phone calls in a drug investigation stumbled over Basi’s involvement with Omnitrax. Police alleged the case dealt with drug trafficking and infiltration of the government by organized crime. Basi and Virk were invited down for a Denver Broncos football game during the BC Rail bidding, with plane tickets worth $3,000 supplied by OmniTrax through B.C.-based Pilothouse Public Affairs Group. Search warrant documents showed cheque stubs issued by Pilothouse paid Aneal
Basi for “contract writing services.” Police surveillance included a dinner meeting at a Vancouver restaurant with Collins and OmniTrax officials.

Niederkircher, Marjorie Jean April 24, 1937 to October 15, 2010 We regret to announce the passing of our dearly loved mother, sister, daughter and grandmother, Jean. Jean was born on April 24, 1938 in Lashburn Saskatchewan. Jean moved to British Columbia with her parents as a young child. Jean is predeceased by her father Malcolm and her husband Joe. Jean is survived by her mother, Eva Watson (92), her children, Cheri Burgess (Brian), Joe Niederkircher (Mary) and Lisa Thompson (Greg), her grandchildren, Jeremy (Mia), Brett, Evan Michelle, Jacqueline, Danielle, Elly, and Julia, her brothers and sisters, Eileen Thelin, Marilyn Challoner (Warren Gould), Ken Watson and Jim Watson. While working in the Harrison Hot Springs Hotel Jean met and married the love of her life, Joe in 1958. This is where the real adventure began....and Jean loved an adventure. They lived in many communities, including living twice in Austria and once in Iran. In B.C., Jean and Joe lived in Harrison Hot Springs, Vancouver, Clearwater, Kamloops, Surrey and since 1994, Vernon. Jean had a love of life, of family and friends. She loved to laugh and enjoy the company of her family and friends around the dinner table playing cards or shopping. Jean always had a sparkle in her eye and bangles and a scarf to match. Mama Jean and Papa Joe enjoyed their life together. Life wasn’t always easy and money wasn’t always plentiful but the Niederkircher house was always ďŹ lled with laughter, great food, and lots of company. Their’s was a true love story. We are comforted by knowing that Papa Joe is now reunited with his “purdy womanâ€?. Mama Jean was especially proud of her children and their spouses and kept a special place in her heart for her grandchildren. Jean loved her membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. When she could, she gave many countless hours of Christian service. She will be surely missed. The family will forever be grateful to the Vernon Hospice House staff and it’s many volunteers for the care, love, dignity and tender attention that was given to Jean (and her family) in her ďŹ nal months. Instead of owers, Jean would wish that you consider giving a donation to the Hospice House. A service of the celebration of the life of Jean will take place at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1506 - 35th Avenue, Vernon, on Wednesday October 20, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. In honor of Jean’s fashion statement, please accessorize with a scarf.

Frederick William Bartell February 8, 1926 - October 15, 2010
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing into the arms of the angels, of Frederick William (Willi) Bartell, beloved husband, father, grandpa, Opa and friend. Willi fought his battles with ďŹ erce determination, courage and strength, overcoming many tragedies and challenges that life threw his way. His amazing stories of survival before, during and after World War II are legend; but his life was also blessed with immense joy, happiness and love that few have experienced.
