Members of the Summerland Fire Department deal with a gas fire as part of training at the North Okanagan Regional District’s fire training centre on Pottery Road Saturday.
One teen is dead and two others were taken to hospital following a single-vehicle crash near Falkland Wednesday night. The three were travelling on the Chase-Falkland Road in a 2004 Chevy Impala when the vehicle left the road and rolled down a steep embankment. “Early indications are that speed was likely a contributing factor in this accident,” said RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. A male passenger phoned his grandfather from the scene, and the grandfather reported the accident to the police. The driver, an 18-year-old male from Falkland, was pronounced dead at the scene. A 17-year-old female passenger in the front seat, and the 18-year-old male in the backseat, were injured. The male was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital while the woman was transported to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops with a fractured arm.

“We have to determine the best use of the money so we can get the best bang for the buck,” said Hardy. “We have to come up with a made-inVernon solution.” Furey isn’t concerned funds will dry up after new initiatives are in place, forcing long waits and congestion to reoccur. “The government has committed to funding over two years and we’re quite confident that successful models tried out will become part of normal practises and resources,” she said. VJH is one of 15 of B.C.’s busiest emergency departments that will share in an additional $22 million. They account for
almost half of the emergency room visits in the province. “We are building on the success of emergency decongestion pilot projects in the Lower Mainland, where up to 40 per cent more patients experienced shorter waits in some Vancouver and Fraser Valley hospitals,” said Health Minister Kevin Falcon in a release. “With almost two million visits to B.C. emergency rooms last year alone, this investment will help ensure patients receive timely, high-quality patient care.” Kelowna General Hospital will receive $629,000, while $403,000 is going to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops. 507 Granville Ave. Enderby 250.838.9321 3202 28 St. Vernon 250.545.0535 2514 Hwy 97N.

RCMP and emergency response crews try to piece together a complicated accident scene Thursday on 25th Avenue.
Crash sparks parking lot mayhem Morning Star Staff
Vernon RCMP continue to investigate a Thursday morning accident involving four vehicles – three of them parked – in South Vernon. Shortly before 11 a.m., RCMP report a westbound Hyundai, operated by a
man who gave police a local address, crossed the centre line on 25th Avenue near the intersection of 43rd Street. The car missed an oncoming eastbound vehicle then swerved into a nearby parking lot where it struck three vehicles.
As of Thursday afternoon, the crash investigation was still in the preliminary stages, but police report the Hyundai’s driver is being investigated for dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, and was suspected of being under the
influence of an illegal substance. The man was given a 24-hour drug suspension by RCMP, who report nobody was seriously injured in the accident, though all four vehicles involved suffered damage.

They then obtained a search warrant for the house and discovered 60 plants, some growing equipment and a number of firearms. Police also recovered a stolen seadoo on the property. Three men in the home, one aged 23 and two who are 22, were arrested and taken into custody. They were released on a promise to appear in court in December. The trio is expected to be facing drug- and firearmsrelated charges.
Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster expects the public will be upset paying the bill for two former bureaucrats who leaked confidential information. The provincial government will cover the $6 million in legal fees Dave Basi and Bob Virk spent defending themselves over seven years. On Monday, they pled guilty to breach of trust and accepting a benefit related to the bid process for the sale of B.C. Rail. “I am not thrilled about this. I am not pleased they (Basi and Virk) put taxpayers in this position,� said Foster. “We just wasted a bunch of money on a couple of criminals.� Eric Foster As part of the plea bargain from Basi and Virk, the government stated it would not try and recover legal costs. Foster says he will approach government officials to understand the process better. “I’m not sure why the decision was made. They broke the law,� he said of the former ministerial assistants. “There has to be a rational reason as to why this is done.� Attorney General Mike de Jong has indicated that Virk and Basi don’t have the ability to repay the $6 million. Basi and Virk have been sentenced to two years less a day of house arrest. They are also facing 150 hours of community service. Opposition parties are demanding an inquiry into the events leading up to the sale of B.C. Rail. De Jong has stated an inquiry isn’t needed, and Foster stands behind that decision. “There would be another waste of money,� he said of an inquiry. “These guys pled guilty and said no one else was involved.� Foster doesn’t believe the recent court case is a reflection of problems within the government bureaucracy. “Most everyone in the public service are honourable people,� he said.

Officers still seek hunter ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
One tip fizzled. Other than that, nothing. Conservation officers are no closer to solving the mystery of a remorseful hunter who illegally shot a six-byseven point elk in a field near Falkland Oct. 5. Officers put out an appeal to the public last week. “We had the one tip that didn’t pan out, and besides that, we haven’t heard anything,” said Vernon conservation officer Josh Lockwood. Officers put out the appeal after receiving an anonymous e-mail from a man who said he shot the elk after spotting a herd of elk in a field between Kamloops and Falkland. The man said he had been coming from Kamloops when he spotted the animal, checked with a friend to see what the shooting rules were, then stalked the animal. He said he fired one bullet into the elk, received a text message from another friend when he went back to his truck that said, “Don’t shoot it,” then fled the area. A highways construction worker is believed to have spotted the man’s white Ford diesel pick-up with a quad in the back leaving the area at a high rate of speed. In his e-mail, the unsigned hunter went on to say he returned to the scene to see if anyone was in the area and that he was more concerned about recovering the animal and deeply troubled by his act. He said he saw a vehicle, panicked again and left the area. “It was just me. I was dressed in street clothes. I got caught in an adrenaline rush. And I am very sorry for being a coward and not turning myself in,” stated the shooter. Since using local media to appeal to the public for information about the hunter, Lockwood had been hoping to be inundated with tips. “I still can’t believe we haven’t heard any-

The Morning Star’s
original story appeared in the Kamloops This Week newspaper. Conservation tech officials are working on finding the I.P. address where the e-mail was sent from. There is no elk season in that area, and it is illegal to shoot them as
they are in a conservation area. The herd consists of about 17 elk and officials fear the one shot may have been the breeding elk. The animal’s carcass has not been found, but Lockwood speculated the animal probably died from the gunshot wound, plus the fact it ran through a pair of fences after being shot because it couldn’t jump over them. A fine of up to $250,000 and/or six months in jail could be levied if the person is convicted. Anybody with any information on the person or the vehicle is asked to contact 1-877952-RAPP (7277), *7277 on a cell phone, or through www.nokscrimestoppers.com.

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

Kitchen cooks up support RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Imagine cooking about 250 meals a day in an average-sized residential kitchen. That’s what happens daily at Vernon’s Upper Room Mission. As a result, a fundraising campaign has been launched to expand the facility, and there was a major boost Oct. 17 when a Rob Dinwoodie concert at Vernon Alliance Church raised almost $7,000. “That’s just awesome,” said Lisa Froom, the mission’s general manager. It’s believed that an expanded and renovated kitchen will cost between $100,000 and $150,000. About $9,000 has been raised to date, including $1,000 from sisters Marnie and Bobbe MacKenzie. Residents, businesses and service clubs are being asked to back the campaign through donations, but also by going to their computer. Presently, Aviva Insurance’s community fund is seeking worthwhile organizations across the country to support. From Monday until Nov. 5, you can go to www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf7285 and vote for the Upper Room Mission. You can vote daily for 10 days. “It’s a great way for the community to be involved,” said Froom. The current kitchen consists of two regular stoves and two sinks. “All of the dishes are washed by hand. It’s very

cramped and inadequate,” said Froom. “The kitchen is central to what we do. Everything revolves around the meal service.” Demand at the mission is growing, and it’s not just from the homeless. “There are people that have a home but they can’t afford rent and food,” said Froom. “We’re seeing seniors and families. It’s important that we push for this as a community. This is Vernon’s mission.” On Sunday, the Upper Room Mission marks its 30th anniversary and a giant birthday party is planned from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The event includes a pancake breakfast and a barbecue for lunch and dinner. There will be a minimum doantion of $2 for the barbecue which will go towards the kitchen renovations. There will also be family games and entertainment. “It’s going to be a fun day, a family day,” said Froom. The mission is located at 3404 27th Ave. For more information, call 250-549-1231.

Can-Con list impressive
T
he beauty when publications release a list of some topic is that, normally, it will lead to a healthy debate. For example, if I published a list of the top-five celebrities who should never be heard from again in this space, and listed those five as: 1) Jennifer Love-Hewitt; 2) Lindsay Lohan, 3)Ashton Kutcher, 4) Justin Bieber and 5) Betty White, you may agree with me. Or, you may, as my co-workers did when I mentioned this list, say something like, “Jennifer Love-Hewitt? But she’s smoking hot.” Or, “I wouldn’t say Betty White if I were you.” Healthy debate. Roger Knox If I had my choice to name the Vancouver Canucks’ all-time team, which TSN did Wednesday courtesy of Hall of Fame Canucks broadcaster Jim Robson, I would have disagreed with Robson on one selection. I would have picked (King) Richard Brodeur or Gary (Suitcase) Smith as the other goalie behind Kirk McLean, not Roberto Luongo. Being a music fan, I’m fascinated by a Canadian Press list of the top-20 songs taken from a new book, Top 100 Canadian Singles (which I did not get for my birthday last Sunday, but it is never too early, dear readers, to starting thinking about my Christmas gift). The book is based on the author’s survey of about 800 musicians, music critics and fans. And, with perhaps the exception of song No. 20, Underwhelmed, by someone or some group called Sloan, I won’t argue with the other 19 other than maybe the order. The No. 1 Canadian single of all-time, according to this book, belongs to, arguably, Canada’s greatest group of all time, The
AT RANDOM
Guess Who. I doubt there are any Canadian music fans who do not know Randy Bachman’s opening guitar riff, and Burton Cummings’ fine vocals, on American Woman. But, as good a song as it is, I don’t think it’s as great as Neil Young’s Heart of Gold (No. 2) or The Band’s The Weight (No. 3). Bryan Adams fans might figure Summer of ‘69 (No. 4) is the best Canadian single ever. Leonard Cohen, who made the top-20 twice, came in at No. 5 with Hallelujah (and Suzanne finished at No. 16). The Guess Who’s signature song, These Eyes, was No. 18 and Bachman actually makes the top-20 a third time as a member of BachmanTurner Overdrive, whose smash Takin’ Care of Business is at No. 8. Canadian music icon Gordon Lightfoot is the only other artist to crack the top-20 three times; If You Could Read My Mind (No. 7), Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald (No. 15) and Sundown (No. 19). Rounding out the list: Born To Be Wild (Steppenwolf, No. 6), Four Strong Winds (Ian and Sylvia Tyson, No. 9), Snowbird (Anne Murray, No. 10), Big Yellow Taxi (Joni Mitchell, No. 11), Tom Sawyer (Rush, No. 12), Try (Blue Rodeo, No. 13), New Orleans is Sinking (Tragically Hip, No. 14) and Life is a Highway (Tom Cochrane, No. 17). What I find interesting about the list is that 65 per cent of the songs – 13 out of 20 – were written before 1980. And, yes, we still hear them a lot on the radio because most music stations have to live up to a 30 per cent Canadian content (Can-Con) rule. But it also shows we’ve had a long, impressive list of talent in this country and their music endures, something I hope the Justin Biebers, Nelly Furtados and Arcade Fires of today realize. Enjoy the list. Debate it. We can always Raise a Little Hell that Trooper didn’t make the top-20.
It is often heard that the only winners in a legal action are the lawyers. That appears true in the case of Dave Basi and Bob Virk, the former ministerial aids who pled guilty to one count each of breach of trust and accepting a benefit linked to confidential bids for the $1-billion sale of B.C. Rail. Each was sentenced to two years less a day of house arrest and 150 hours of community service. But who are the biggest losers in this whole affair? We are. The taxpayers are now left holding the bag for the $6 million in tax dollars spent on Basi and Virk’s legal fees. You might not know that the government pays for the legal fees of bureaucrats accused of misconduct in the course of carrying out their jobs. If they are found guilty, or as in this case, admit guilt, then the responsibility of the legal costs rests directly on the shoulders of the employee. Except in this situation, the B.C. government has decided it won’t go after any reimbursement from either of the guilty parties. Instead, Premier Gordon Campbell, who obviously no longer has to worry about having to testify, is currently busy distancing himself and the government from the convicted. So the lawyers get paid, Basi and Virk don’t pay a dime out of their personal pockets for the costs of defending their actions over the past seven years, and your elected representatives have decided it’s not worth fighting to get any of the $6 million back. It’s the government equivalent of dine and dash, with the B.C. taxpayers left with the bill. – Salmon Arm Observer

Questions remain about 'meteorite'
E
verywhere we go, we are asked about our "meteorite" and so we are bringing you up-to-date. As many will recall, we discovered a two-foot diameter hole through 10 inches of ice in our pond last December. There were seven, 40-foot cracks radiating out from the hole, and no tracks or clues on how the hole was made. We marked the spot, and in May, we had a diver go down to see what he could find. Almost directly below the hole, he found the top of a rock which was embedded in the clay bottom of the pond. He dug around the rock and got tow straps around it. We pulled it out with the winch on the tractor. We pressure washed the clay off and beheld a multicoloured, 850-pound rock, approximately 24-by-30 inches. Various geologists and rock hounds have come and inspected it and nobody has any answers. Where did it come from? Not off Bluenose Mountain SAY YES TO HST Judging from the results in Ontario, the HST seems to be running very smoothly. I for one am very happy that Mr. Campbell is willing to take on the difficult task of running the province. It is a thankless job where people are always ready to find fault. At this time, I am visiting Vernon Jubilee Hospital on a regular basis for chemo treatments and thanks to the professional and competent way in which our province is being run, I am privileged enough to have the best cancer treatments in the country. Yes, it is not pleasant having to pay taxes but if we don’t then there is no money for education, health care, etc. So please give Mr. Campbell a break. He is doing a job that I’m sure not many of us would like to tackle. Ann Pusey FRUSTRATION REIGNS Regarding Mr. Foster's frustrations with the HST recall game, my comment is that now he finally understands how we feel about having the HST rammed down our throats. From denying that there was any thought of HST in the election campaign, to the lack of information about what was being taxed, to actually starting to charge HST before July 1 and finally not having the
— too far away and not basalt. Was it in the pond all along? Unlikely, and if it was, what made the hole in the ice? To break 10 inches of ice about 40 feet from the shore — with no tracks — it had to have come from the sky. There is no evidence of "fusion crust," but could this be due to the fact it was buried in clay underwater for five months? Could it have been part of a larger meteorite which broke apart? It appears conglomerate, "composed of fragments of other rocks and held together by shock compaction or by material that was partially molten," (quote from the Internet on lunar meteorites) A sample test proved non-conclusive. So, we have a very interesting rock in our garden. Nobody knows its origin, but we think it came from above. Molly and Sandy Boyd
referendum until next fall, I think Mr. Foster lacks all credibility with the people who elected him. There should be a free vote in the Legislature on the HST, not a $30 million referendum! Mr. Foster, you should be worried! Maybe you should retire before Premier Campbell does. Glenn Szabo LETTER PANNED I'm writing in response to the letter you published from Ian Tribes. Mr. Tribes makes a few points I do agree with. You cannot legislate people out of their own stupidity and creating these laws and rules will not do anything to protect anyone unless it is followed up with more enforcement. You also cannot license common sense. Any bonehead can pass one of those boater's licensing tests, but that doesn't mean they will follow the rules because apparently rules don't apply to some people. So this is where my agreement with Mr. Tribes begins and ends. He says failing to have a spotter in a boat is not a serious offence and hurts no one. I can tell you first hand this is not the case. While kayaking this past summer on Monte Lake, I was almost run down by a speed boat towing a bunch of kids behind on one of those big tubes. Why did he almost run me down?
Because he was looking back at the kids instead of looking where he was going as he did not have a spotter with him. I came to a full stop and watched while he passed me by the smallest of margins. Even then, he did not see me. It was the kids in the tube that saw me first and the frightened looks on their faces said it all. What if he had crashed into a rock or another speedboat? Would it not have hurt someone else then? Were those kids old enough to make the decision on whether or not they should let their dad tow them around the lake at high speed? I guess by Mr. Tribes judgement it would have been their fault if they were hurt and no one else should be to blame. And if I had been run over and hurt, I guess that would be no one's fault either? He also mentions putting up signs at the lakes to tell parents they are responsible for the damage their children might cause. Does Mr. Tribes actually visit the lakes around here, or even drive down the highways here for that matter? When was the last time you saw anyone actually obeying any signage? Even the most remote lakes have some idiots racing around on it. Have you been to Rosemond Lake lately? We went there this summer for a bit of kayaking. There are no motorized boats allowed on this lake anymore so we thought we
10PM
might actually have found a place we could kayak on in peace. But that hasn't stopped them. Now they just arrive on ATVs and drive those up and down the shoreline, destroying bird nests and plant life in their wake. And yes, this is despite the fact that there are signs all along the edge of the lake telling them not to drive their ATVs on the shore. They leave the campsites filthy and put out a big "you're not welcome here" attitude to anyone who wants to go to a local lake for some peace and quiet. These are the people the government is trying to protect us from but they are fighting a losing battle because unfortunately we are no longer a "civil" society. The Okanagan has simply become one gigantic party place for those who have all the money to buy all of the motorized toys they want. And those people feel they should be permitted to do whatever they want because they "earned" it. In my opinion at least, society has become very uncivil in its attitudes towards others and the environment around them, but no licensing or rules are going to stop them without enforcement. So on that note, I agree with Mr. Tribes that these new rules are a huge waste of time and taxpayers' money. It's just unfortunate for those of us that like nature and peaceful pur-
suits there will never be the chance to do so again, and if we do attempt to go out and enjoy ourselves on local lakes, we had better take out some life insurance before hand to protect ourselves from the people who share his attitude. Maureen Altstadt

Owner of stolen trailer sought Morning Star Staff
RCMP continue to investigate the recovery of stolen property in Lavington, prompted by the spotting of a stolen cedar outhouse from Lumby’s Rouck’s Sawmill on the property. A 53-year-old Vancouver man was arrested at the scene as police went to investigate the stolen outhouse. On the property, police found and seized three trailers. “One was a new 24-foot storage trailer and one was a new 15-foot dump trailer,” explained RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. “Those two trailers have been identified as stolen, one out of Kelowna and one from the Lower Mainland.” It’s the third trailer that the RCMP are asking for the public’s help with. The third trailer is

There are indications that this trailer is also stolen. The police are attempting to locate the rightful owner. “As the suspect in this case has traveled extensively from all parts of B.C. to Alberta, the police are asking anyone in B.C. or Alberta who may have had a similar trailer stolen to contact
us,” said Molendyk. The phone number to call is 250-260-7119. The suspect in the case, Robert Andel, has been charged with one count of robbery and three counts of possession of stolen property. He has been remanded into custody, making a video appearance in Vernon Provincial Court Wednesday.

Enderby Mayor Dee Wejr believes that’s a strong indication of why membership in SLIPP isn’t necessary at this time. “The electoral areas are starting their own initiative and we’re not in the same place as the SLIPP group,” she said, adding that she wishes the CSRD well with any initiatives it uses to improve the watershed. “We’re all working
for the same thing when it comes down to it.” Another concern for NORD jurisdictions has been the potential cost of participating in SLIPP. It’s been proposed that rural Enderby provide $23,450 a year, with $13,400 from the City of Enderby, $13,400 from rural Lumby, $6,700 each from Spallumcheen and the Village of Lumby and $3,350 from Cherryville.

A Vernon organization has received recognition for turning tires into a playground. Tire Stewardship B.C. has provided up to $6,620 to the North Okanagan Child Care Society for using B.C. recycled rubber for its playground surface. “Not only do we want to showcase B.C. recycled rubber products, we want everyone to experience their benefits,” said Mike Hennessy, TSBC executive director. NOCCS’ new playground surface was chosen because it will allow everyone, including people with mobility issues and those confined to wheelchairs, to access the playground while the surface itself requires minimal maintenance and will last longer than traditional gravel or sand surfaces. TSBC is providing more than $245,000 in funding for 17 community projects across British Columbia as part of its 2010 community demonstration grant program. While the grant is centered on promoting recycled rubber products made in B.C., each project must also meet two other criteria: it must be open to the public and it must be wheelchair accessible.

The City of Vernon’s economic development office has launched a project that is expected to help grow business. The business retention and expansion project will identify and invite businesses to be part of a visitation program to determine opportunities, challenges, and barriers to growth. “The project is essential to retain and expand the broad base of businesses and services in the North Okanagan with a goal of developing strategies to foster growth and competitiveness of companies in the region,” said Kevin Poole, economic development officer. The first stage will focus on the goods producing sector. “We are currently contacting local business owners in the manufacturing and technology sectors to invite them to participate in the program,” said Poole. “The business visitation program provides face-to-face visits with local companies to better understand and address local area business concerns. Our goal is to ensure the region is providing a positive business climate to foster growth and innovation.” Areas that will be discussed during the interviews include current and future labour needs, access to capital, land and building requirements, proximity to markets and the overall business climate. “It is important to recognize that approximately 80 per cent of growth within a community can be directly attributed to the expansion of the existing business base as opposed to business attraction,” said Poole. “It is essential that

Run helps to end poverty The Okanagan is making major strides to end extreme poverty in Africa. The sixth annual Great Big Run for Africa, a 100 km relay to raise funds for micro-financing in Ethiopia, gets underway Sunday and run organizers say there are still a few spots left for people to participate. “The event starts in West Kelowna and travels north along Highway 97 and finishes in Enderby – we need runners who can commit to doing one leg of the run and who will raise pledges and donations for their participation,� said run organizer Nicole Rustad. “We’re a core group of committed volunteers who have each been inspired by the individual stories of women whose lives have been changed by such small amounts of money coupled with the mentorship, numeracy, literacy and business skills training needed to be successful – just $70 is all it takes to help one woman start her own business.� In addition to money going towards micro-financing for women to start their own business like garbage collection, sewing, vegetable gardens and a variety of other small businesses, a separate project will be funded that employs impoverished women to learn how to make and sell re-usable sanitary pads so that girls may continue to go to school during their menstrual cycle. Not only will impoverished women be employed in their own micro-business but they will be meeting a great need that ensures girls do not miss school during their menstrual cycle. The run evolved
from Alison Moscrop’s 2004 travels to Ethiopia, visiting projects that Partners in the Horn of Africa were doing to end extreme poverty One day, awoken in the early morning by the sound of hundreds of people running along the streets of the capital city in Addis Ababa, Moscrop learned that many people in the country participate in races barefoot or in whatever shoes they own just for the love of running. Upon her return to Canada, Moscrop wanted to do a fundraiser that incorporated running to support Partner’s projects. In 2005, A Great Big Run for Africa was born when Stephanie Moore and Crystal Flaman, both friends of Moscrop suggested they run 100 km to raise awareness and funds for Partners in the Horn of Africa’s micro-financing program. Today, A Great Big Run for Africa is run as a 100 km relay each year and money raised enables thousands of women to create better lives for themselves and their families through the creation of their own small business with training and a micro-financing loan.

Internet era focus of library research MIKE SIMMONS Black Press
The book business is still booming, but new technologies are a brisk competitor for libraries. Okanagan Regional Library is researching what people want from their public library. “The last time we did a full-blown survey, it was 2001 and things were different then. We want to find out how things have changed,” said executive director Lesley Dieno. Dieno noted the last survey did not ask whether library users had Internet access at home. She says the number of people who now do is believed to be quite high. Library planners are interested in how much bandwidth people have available on their home data connections and what mobile applications they use. The first computer lab and Internet access came to libraries in 1997, and line-ups to use terminals are still a common sight. “We thought by now people would not be needing Internet access in public libraries,” said Dieno. “We thought people would have cheap access at home.” She added that waiting areas are still necessary, even after the installation of wireless access
“We still have huge lineups sometimes for Internet access.” — Lesley Dieno in all branch libraries to allow the use of laptops. Library users are not totally dependent on public access terminals. “We still have huge lineups sometimes for Internet access.” Dieno noted another key question for Okanagan libraries is the format of information. Some library users want papers or books, while others need a PDF document they can read on their mobile phone. She said the formats in demand keep changing. “Print is still probably our number one product, but electronic materials are growing, and particularly materials you can download.” Dieno said the research phase of the library strategic plan should be wrapped up by December, including a look at North American library trends and information from both users and non-users of the library. The board meets in the new year to look at the information and decide how best to proceed from there. Dieno

notes one of the things library staff always forget to tell people is how much money the library can save them personally, as an alternative to buying books or renting movies. She says that licensed
access to databases has a similar effect. People researching family genealogy often pay for home access to ancestry.com, a database project based on the British census. Dieno said people can access that database through Okanagan library terminals. Community librarian Judy Hammond is a member of the committee putting together the regional library’s strate-
gic plan. Hammond noted that print reference materials like encyclopedias are not being used as much anymore, with access to the same information available online. ORL allows people to download audio and e-books, either to read on screen or load onto portable devices. But the use of electronic readers is depriving Hammond of some of her most loyal customers.

Hidasi hunts new record Morning Star Staff
Matthew Hidasi of the VSS Panthers defended the senior boys title in the North Zone Cross Country Championships Wednesday at Kalamalka Provincial Park. Hidasi covered the 5.8-kilometre run in 22 minutes and 20 seconds, knocking 12 seconds off his own course record. He advances to the Okanagan Valley finals Tuesday morning at Telemark Cross Country Park in West Kelowna. Brittany Evans of the Revelstoke Rams won the senior girls event (four kilometres) in 16:24, just three seconds in front of Fulton Maroons' Sarah Bailey, who was three seconds faster than junior sensation Emmy Sim of Salmon Arm Jewels. "We had a huge turnout for the North
Zone Cross Country Running Finals with 75 runners competing on the grueling trails of Kal Lake Park," said Mark Bendall of VSS. "Salmon Arm Secondary took three of the four team categories, winning junior and senior boys, and junior girls. In the hotly-contended senior girls category, Vernon Secondary just edged out Revelstoke, with Salmon Arm third." VSS runners took five of the top-12 spots in senior girls with Natalie Johnston leading the way in fifth, in 17:13. Megan Johnston was sixth in 17:24, while Tessni Carruthers took eighth place, and second junior, in 18:17. The Cats' Kailee Streichert (18:44) and Marin Carruthers (18:48) were 11th and 12th respectively.
Fulton's Melissa Lulashnyk placed eighth and runner-up junior, in 17:04. Katie Pepper of the Panthers was 16th in 19:07 and teammate Cara Main was 21st in 19:51. There was a field of 48. Injury woes left the Panthers boys with four runners, one short of the number required to qualify as a team. Thomas Hardy of the Salmon Arm Golds was runner-up in the boys race, in 23:15. Josh Readshaw of VSS finished sixth in 24:34 and his teammate Bryan Carruthers was 17th in 27:59 (third for Grade 8s). There was a field of 27. The top three teams in each division (up to seven runners), and the top 20 individuals from the Valleys qualify for provincials Saturday, Nov. 6 at Beaver Lake in Victoria.
There will be a little extra cheering pep in the stands when the Vernon Vipers play the host Penticton Vees tonight at the South Okanagan Events Centre. A bus load of more than 60 family members, billets and friends are making the trip south for the start of the Vipers’ annual parents weekend. The Vees have graciously offered to put on a free barbecue for the visiting relatives. “Every player has someone coming,” said Vipers’ marketing manager Heidi Schrader. “I don’t think that has ever happened.” Viper defenceman Malcolm Lyles’ mom, Mary, is traveling Malcolm Lyles the furthest to see her boy play, making the 14-hour flight from Florida. “She must love me,” grinned Lyles, a 20-yearold Miami Gardens product. “She used to be a cheerleader, and even though she is only 5-foot-4, her voice carries so I’m sure I’ll be able to hear her in the crowd.” The Snakes, 6-2-1-1 in their last 10 games, occupy fourth place in the Interior Conference and are five points back of the first-place Vees (12-4). Vernon swept the Vees in a home-and-home last month, but Lyles, who missed both games with an injury, said getting a similar result will be more difficult this time around. “Obviously things have changed since, with a lot of teams getting better as the season has gone on.” The Vipers return to Wesbild Centre Saturday night to entertain the Quesnel Millionaires (4-91), followed by Sunday’s Paint the Rink Pink matinee (2 p.m.) with the cellar dwelling Prince George Spruce Kings (2-13-0-2). For the first time ever, the Vipers will auction off their limited edition game-worn jerseys in a live auction following Sunday’s game. There will also be a silent auction with Canucks tickets, Predator Ridge golf/spa package, Team Canada jersey and tickets to the World Junior A Challenge in Penticton (with accommodation) up for grabs. First Choice Haircutters will be on hand again cutting hair by donation, there will be raffle items and the Frisbee toss sales will go to the Canadian Cancer Society along with 50/50 sales. Fans unable to make it to the game can bid on any silent or live auction items by contacting the Viper office before Sunday at 250-542-6022, or by e-mailing heidi@vipers.bc.ca. Proceeds go to the Canadian Cancer Society.

See Clark run. See Clark score. The Fulton Maroons' strategy was simply elementary Wednesday as tailback Clark Richardson rushed for 287 yards and four touchdowns in a 38-24 Southern Interior Junior Varsity High School Football League win over the Seaton Sonics. Richardson carried the ball 20 times at Grahame Park, his longest score a 95-yard scamper the series after Fulton’s defence denied Seaton in a goal standoff. Sean Greene compiled 32 yards on five attempts. It was 30-8 Fulton at the half. Fulton quarterback Layne Greene completed four of six passes for 58 yards, including a 34-yard touchdown strike to Matt Eso. "Clark Richardson was awesome again," said Maroons' coach Mike Scheller. "He made a ton of great runs, ran hard and really carries our offence. The jayvee O-line of Tanner Bishop, Balraj Chahal, Caden Brown, Vance Ford and Kacey Smart deserve a lot of credit, as does their coach Roger Scales, for their efforts today. They simply blocked great. Fullback Sean Greene had his best day of the year offensively, and he also blocked very well." Clayton Mottus hauled in three catches for 43 yards to help the Fulton offence. On defence, Lucas Hofer recorded 11 tackles, while Eso had seven, Sean Greene five and Kyle Smith and Bryce Dulaba each posted four. "We moved our league record to 3-0, which is a great step for our jayvee program," added Scheller. "We played very well in spots, and executed well offensively and defensively at times. As a coaching staff, we were also pleased with the attitude and effort of our team throughout the game. Yet, we also are making too many mistakes and taking too many penalties. We need to correct both of those issues if we want to become a dominant team." Seaton quarterback Chad Woodhead was stellar, connecting on 24 of 34 passes

Wide receiver Travis Webster registered 145 yards and one touchdown, while Thomas Pool racked up 112 yards and one TD and Luke Harrigan earned 85 yards and one score. "We're a young group and our guys are learning and improving every week, and having fun," said Seaton head coach Ryan Reid. Added Scheller: "We have to give Seaton some credit. They throw the ball well, and kept throwing all game. “We would get ahead, and the throw would help them come back against our
second units." Scheller said Austin Richardson sparkled at defensive end for the Maroons, while Hofer, at middle linebacker, had another strong showing and was a tackling machine. Veteran Marshall Kazemir "played his best defensive game of the year, and did well defending the pass.

Fulton, who are 4-1 overall, face the Kalamalka Lakers Wednesday in Coldstream, while Seaton hosts the Okanagan Mission Huskies.

Kimura captures first win
WANTED Someone who lives close to a SKI HILL! Someone who wants a MILLION DOLLAR VIEW! COPPER MOUNTAIN
Morning Star Staff
The ageless Blake Kimura collected his first Baron Insurance Super League win in spectacular fashion, ousting defending B.C. men’s champion Jeff Richard 11-1 Wednesday night at the Vernon Curling Club. Kimura (Village Green Hotel) scored a deuce in the opening end, and then ambushed Richard (Sunset Ranch) with a steal of five in the second. Kelowna’s Richard (0-4) salvaged a point in the third end, only to have Kimura (1-3) force handshakes with a four-ender in the fourth. In a battle of the redheads, Jon Gardner (Sladen Moore) handed Brad Kuhn (North Enderby Timber) his first loss, a 7-1 defeat. Gardner (2-2) opened with a single steal, but Kuhn (3-1) responded with a single in two. After making a tough hit-and-roll to hold Gardner to two in the third end, Kuhn missed a draw to the pin in the fourth to allow a steal of three. A narrow miss on a difficult run-back in the next end sealed Kuhn’s fate.

Jason Wizniak (left) and Marc Fillion tend to a rock delivered by skip Jim Cotter in Baron Insurance Super League play at the Vernon Curling Club. Jim Cotter (Woodland Equipment) got off to a hot start, posting a five-point first end as he toppled Jenn Gerow (Gateway Mechanical) 9-2. Gerow (0-4) responded with a single in the second, but Cotter (3-1) put the game out of reach with four points in the third. Any chance at a comeback was denied when sub Chelan Cotter delivered a double-peel in the fourth. Dave Merklinger (Jet Ice) shot blanks for the first two ends before cranking up the offence to earn a 7-1 win over Kayla Gunner (Armstrong Inn).
After settling for a single in the third end, the 3-0 Merklinger crew put on a draw weight clinic, stealing three in each the fourth and fifth ends. Wayne Laface (Inspiration Homes) used a steal of one in an extra end to shade T.J. Perepolkin (Cannacord Capital) 6-5. After blanking one, Laface (2-1) racked up a deuce in two, only to have Perepolkin (2-2) take the lead with singles in three, four and five. The two rinks traded deuces in six and seven before Laface forced the extra end with a single in eight.

Second star Chad Niddery, recently committed to the Ohio State Buckeyes, led the Kings’ attack with two goals and two assists. Andrew Pettitt added 2+1. On Tuesday night, the Kings outgunned
the host Mills 5-3 at The Vault. Niddery, Matt Garbowsky and Cohen Adair each had a goal and a helper in support of Garteig (27 saves).

Vernon's Marie-Catherine Bruno bagged a bronze medal in the women's class at the North American Sprint Series Orienteering finals in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. last weekend. The former Team Canada member went into the race with zero points because none of the sprints she did this year were qualifiers. The orthotics business owner finished top-five in both qualifying heats which included a mass start on very fast terrain. "It was my secret goal to sneak into the final, but I had no idea how fast some of the girls out east are running these days," said Bruno, who played university volleyball for the McGill Redmen in Montreal. "There were 26 women entered, and only the top five would make it. Anyway, I’d driven four hours to get there, got out of the car, warmed up well, focused and just went like stink! I figured if I could qualify then I’d be guaranteed a top-10 in the Sprint Series, not too shabby." Bruno was fifth in the first qualifier in 19 minutes and 34 seconds, 90 seconds behind the winner. "It was really cold and wet so the trick was gonna be to stay warm in between the two races. I actually ended up going for a drive because I was getting too cold. The

Mass starts are really fun, but unless you can hold on to the leading pack, it’s pretty much game over." The athletes went down a super slimy slope in the mass start and people were slipping and falling left and right, despite

studded shoes. "The pace was insane and I doubted I’d be able to hold that for more than five minutes. But by some miracle I stayed on my feet so I was able to stay with the pack to the first control. Once we got there the group split. The best four women went right, and I decided to go left, taking a small group with me. Once I got to the top of the ridge I realized very quickly that I`d made the right decision." The 30-something Bruno held the lead for as long as she could, but with about three controls (checkpoints) to go, she was passed by the fast train known as Hannah Burgess, a 20-year-old from the West Point Military Academy, Alison Crocker, an ex-U.S. national team skier and Nadesda Dvorko, a Russian living in New York. "I was pretty sure I was now running for fourth place so it was really hard to keep pushing. I kept telling myself that it ain’t over until it’s actually over... but unless something went totally wrong, those girls were top-three. As I approached the finish line, I heard one of the organizers yell: ‘and here comes the third woman in this year’s North American Sprint Series.' I was a bit puzzled but I soon found out that Ali Crocker had skipped a check point and therefore, I was third."

#ATCH 8ZIBIT WHEN HE RIDES TO 6ERNON Morning Star Staff
He’s pimped a few people’s rides, and made the transition from rapper to actor and back with ease. Those who have flicked on MTV the past decade know Xzibit (real name Alvin Nathaniel Joiner IV) for hosting a certain reality show where people’s tired old jalopies were turned into smokin’ rides. Before he hosted six seasons of Pimp My Ride, Xzibit was making noise on the West Coast hip hop scene. And now he’s about to turn it up a notch when he starts his Northern Xposure tour across Canada, which starts on the coast next week, and makes its way to Vernon Nov. 3. Presented by 13th Floor Entertainment, who brought Three Six Mafia to the Wesbild Centre last month, the show is at Moe Joe’s Night Club and also features a performance by Bizarre of Detroit’s D12 fame and Vancouver’s Global Syndicate. Xzibit has released a new album every two years from his 1996 debut, At the Speed of Life, until his most recent, Full Circle, in 2006. And despite recent TV roles, including a guest host spot on ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition as well as an appearance on new cop drama Detroit 1-8-7 this year, Xzibit has continued to lay down tracks and perform. He just released two singles, Hurt Locker and Phenom, which are expected to appear on his upcoming album, MMX, and his gruff baritone can be heard on a number of other artists’ hits, including Dr. Dre’s Detox and a collaborative release with Cypress Hill frontman B-Real and promising New West representative Young De, who have formed a collective called Serial Killaz. First introduced to rap at a young age in his native Detroit, Xzibit began his music career after moving to L.A. in 1992, soon
joining the Likwit Crew, a loose collective of West Coast rappers. Three years later, he signed to Loud Records and released his debut album, At the Speed of Life, which produced his first breakthrough single Paparazzi, and landed him on the top 100 Billboard charts. This was followed by a series of albums beginning with 40 Dayz & 40 Nightz (1998), which produced an even bigger single, What U See Is What U Get. He also made a number of high-profile guest appearances in 1999 with Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Dr. Dre, the latter who invited Xzibit to perform on his American Up in Smoke Tour the next year. Loud Records soon released Xzibit’s next CD Restless with executive producer Dr. Dre, producing the single X, which became the rapper’s biggest hit since What U See Is What U Get. With other album’s including 2002’s Man vs. Machine and 2004’s Weapons of Mass Destruction, both going gold in the U.S., Xzibit also started to see his name on marquees. His film and TV career came after he had a small role in Eminem’s semi-autobiographical film 8 Mile in 2002. He was soon picked up as host for Pimp My Ride, which later enabled him to secure numerous notable film roles, including in the thriller Derailed, sports drama Gridiron Gang, The X-Files: I Want to Believe, and more recently Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans. He has a few film roles in the works, but has said his main focus right now is his music. Hear what he’s all about when Xzibit takes the stage at MoeJoes’s Nightclub Nov. 3. Doors open at 9 p.m. and tickets are $30 general admission and $60 VIP (limited to 75 tickets) now on sale at Dunas Skate Shop, MoeJoe’s, Naturally Fit and Square One Apparel in Vernon.

Vernon Search and Rescue is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, and is once again bringing its main fundraiser to the big screen with the annual Best of Banff Mountain Film Festival. “The Banff festival is Vernon Search and Rescue’s only major fundraiser,� said SAR’s film festival coordinator Suzie Sims. “In this 50th anniversary year, we have conducted 38 searches to date (as of mid-October,) almost a record for us. Our average is 45 a year.� As equipment breaks or is lost and technology becomes

obsolete, the search and rescue unit uses proceeds from ticket sales from the festival to purchase new equipment, update existing gear (radios, GPS units, dry-suits, climbing ropes and more) and for on-going training upgrades. This year’s films will be shown Nov. 15 at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. “Once again we expect to fill the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre with another audience-pleasing menu of mountain-based films –– climbing adventures, cross-country skiing, environmental subjects, BASE jumping –– the list goes on,� said Sims. This year’s internationally renowned Banff Mountain Film Festival takes place in the Alberta Rockies on the first
weekend of November, so Vernon, as in the past, will be one of the very first communities to feature the best films from the festival on the world tour that follows. The world tour is produced by Mountain Culture at The Banff Centre, and features award-winning films and audience favourites from approximately 300 films entered in the annual festival. Tickets ($20) to see the Best of Banff in Vernon are now on sale at the Ticket Seller box office in the Performing Arts Centre or order at 250-549-7469 or online at www.ticketseller.ca. More Best of Banff films will be shown at Silver Star Mountain Resort‘s National Altitude Training Centre in December.

Sharon Stearns conjures up something spooky at Caravan Farm Theatre’s annual Walk of Terror. The farm stages its seventh annual walk, followed by a performance by Shuswap band Old Man’s Beard, Halloween night.

Caravan Farm Theatre’s 80 acres of field and forest will be filled with frights on Halloween night. Those who dare go on the farm’s seventh annual Walk of Terror can dance off their fear afterwards when Shuswap band Old Man’s Beard performs. But first, thrills and chills will abound as visitors wind their way through the farm before arriving at the concert site. The Walk of Terror has become a Halloween tradition in the community. “We have terrific local support with everyone coming out to volunteer for the Walk of Terror, said Sean Newton, Caravan’s general manager. “It’s
very hands-on, as community volunteers have a lot of input into their particular portion of the Walk of Terror.” “This year, we’re really excited to have Old Man’s Beard out to play,” added Caravan’s new artistic director Courtenay Dobbie, “They have a loyal local following, so we expect to see a lot of people out for Halloween night.” The Shuswap-based band plays a unique blend of reggae, boot-stompin’ folk, and rock and roll that has won them the hearts of fans across western Canada. They are currently bringing their well-placed harmonies and toe-tappin’ rhythms to the rest of the country en route to the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals conference in Ottawa. The concert at Caravan on Halloween night will be one of their first local performances after their Ontario road trip, said

Artists alternative celebrates 10 Morning Star Staff
It was 10 years ago this month that a non-profit arts association held its first open members exhibition in Vernon. The North Okanagan Arts Alternative (NOAA), which is now based in Vernon’s Gallery Vertigo, is celebrating a decade of supporting and celebrating alternative art in the community. Once a year, all NOAA members are invited to submit one or two works for its nonjuried exhibition. “As always, the resulting assortment of submissions encompasses a wide variety of approaches, the use of many different mediums and showcases the diversity and depth of artistic talent that exists in our region,” said NOAA member and Gallery Vertigo director Judith Jurica. This year’s exhibition, aptly titled 10, contains the work of more than 40 artists with nearly 50 works of art. The NOAA and Gallery Vertigo grew from a seed planted by a small group of local of artists, who in 1999 met in local coffee shops, restaurants and pubs to discuss

ing their own gallery began to percolate. Encouraged by an overwhelming response from both local artists and the public, the association, which had grown to about 40 artists, incorporated as a registered non-profit society in 2001. Two years later, the NOAA merged with a small group of artists who had established a local alternative gallery.
“What resulted was an even larger, stronger, and more vibrant artistic community and the North Okanagan’s first and only artist-run centre: Gallery Vertigo,” said Jurica. The NOAA currently boasts more than 200 members and that number continues to grow each year. “We are a democratic organization with our mandate and our direction being determined by our membership,” said Jurica. Gallery Vertigo currently houses two exhibition spaces, 12 rented studios, a kitchen, a gift boutique and a resource room geared towards professional development for artists. “Programming has expanded to include the literary arts and musical events as well as continuing to host a regular schedule of exhibitions of visual art and arts-related workshops and lectures,” said Jurica. A coffee and cake reception for 10 will be held Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m. featuring the digitally-produced music/sound compositions by Icelandic artist Sindri Hans. The exhibition runs to Nov. 10.

Bruce Willis, John Malkovich and Helen Mirren play retired CIA operatives in the fun thriller, Red.
Red makes a fine vintage Red: ★★★★
out of 5
R
ed is like The Expendables with half a brain in its head: a group of aging gun-toting action junkies are targeted for assassination and dispense a good dose of revenge by blowing up stuff really good. Oh, and it’s based on a comic book. Yep, on paper, this is pure meathead fodder –– all brawn, little mental weight. But when you consider that stars like Bruce Willis, Jason Armstrong Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren and John Malkovich not only team up as part of the cast, but clearly have an absolute hoot while doing so – well, probably worth a shot, huh? Take it. This is one of the more surprisingly fun rides you’re gonna get this year –– a film that shamelessly packs heat, but stuffs a smirk in its back of tricks as well. Willis is the headliner of Red, playing Frank Moses, a retired and obviously bored CIA operative, trying to snuggle into a quiet lifestyle, when suddenly an armed hit squad rips through his suburban Ohio home. He easily dispatches of them, of course, ‘cause, well, y’know, he’s Bruce Willis. Designated a Red (or retired, extremely dangerous), who has been targeted for termination, Frank begins what amounts to a cross country road trip, picking up meek pension office assistant Sarah (Mary Louise Parker) along the way, and hooking up with his old team, including Joe
AISLE SEAT
(Freeman), Victoria (Mirren), and the sociopathic, scene-stealing Marvin (Malkovich). (By the way, 93-year-old Ernest Borgnine is in this as well. He doesn’t kick as much butt as the aforementioned stars, but just the fact that he’s game for this rodeo and is as spunky as ever makes for one of the sweetest spots of the entire flick!) As an action film, Red is serviceable – it’s ambitious, but then, so is every other movie with artillery, explosives and a hefty budget. No, Red is a true gem because it’s a bit goofy and extremely proud of it. We’re talking eye candy that sports both adrenaline and class. A bit brainless, sure, but it’s as smart as brainless gets. So, while this bunch isn’t exactly aged to perfection, they do come awfully darn close. The feature is currently playing a Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

The
BC Rail sale public inquiry sought TOM FLETCHER Black Press
The abrupt end of the B.C. Rail corruption trial has the B.C. Liberals’ political opponents calling for a public inquiry into the tainted bidding process that led to the largest sale of a public asset in provincial history. Guilty pleas entered by former ministerial aides Dave Basi and Bob Virk on Monday came in a plea bargain that included the B.C. government agreeing not to attempt to recover $6 million in legal fees spent on their defence. Attorney General Mike de Jong told reporters his advice from senior staff was that Virk, Basi and his cousin Aneal Basi could not repay the debt after seven years of prosecution. NDP attorney general critic Leonard Krog said an inquiry could examine the reasons for the plea bargain, and compel testimony on a range of political questions that would likely not have been examined in a criminal trial. “Which senior BC Liberal officials were involved in the sale of BC Rail?” Krog said. “What did the premier know and when did he know it?” De Jong said a pub-
“Which senior BC Liberal officials were involved in the sale of BC Rail?” — Leonard Krog lic inquiry isn’t needed because the special prosecutor in the case had already searched the evidence and found that politicians were not implicated in Basi and Virk’s activities. Both men pleaded guilty to leaking information about the BC Rail bid process and accepting money and
travel from a U.S. railway company. That ended the trial just before former finance minister Gary Collins was to testify. Other political hopefuls chimed in as well. Chris Delaney, spokesman for the newly formed B.C. First Party, said the plea bargain “smells of interference at the highest levels.”

Delaney has made similar allegations about government meddling into Elections B.C. in his capacity as organizer of the Fight HST petition and recall campaigns. Wilf Hanni, leader of the upstart B.C. Heritage Party, said the B.C. Liberal government sold off the B.C. Rail freight division for $1 billion, when it was worth four times that. “That has to be the fire sale of fire sales,” Hanni said, adding it was worse than the final fate of the fast ferries built under the previous NDP government.

To help you nudge yourself out of the place of negativity, I’d suggest asking the person in the mirror these questions; (with some suggested answers to clarify): 1) What are my goals for today?
* Work on liking myself. * Tell somebody I love them (including myself). * Learn the lyrics to I love myself the way I am by Jai Josefs (you can Google this) and read them to yourself while looking in the mirror. 2) What can I do today to invite laughter, fun and joy into my life? * Read the humour
greeting card section at a local store. * Read funny books or watch comedians on TV. * Memorize and tell a joke to everyone you speak to. * Smile at everyone. 3) What one thing would I like to excel in today? * Being kind and patient with myself. * Following through with a plan of action for anything I want to
accomplish. * Eat healthy, walk for 15 minutes and laugh. (In fact, make up a laughter log and record how often you laugh in a day). 4) What is important for me to remember today? * That I am a valuable person. * That somebody loves me. * That I am making a difference in the world by being me.

Minister backs off waterfront lot sales JUDIE STEEVES Black Press
Crown-owned waterfront lots on domestic water reservoirs in the Okanagan are no longer up for sale. The controversial decision nearly a decade ago to put the public land up for sale has now been reversed, confirmed Kevin Dickenson, regional executive director for the Southern Interior. “We’re closing the project. It’s not just on hold,” he said. While formal letters have not yet been sent out to stakeholders, Pat Bell, the minister responsible for the Integrated Land Management Bureau, told District of Lake Country at the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention that he’d decided not to go ahead with the sales. The decision is not a popular one with local cottage owners.

Lloyd Manchester, president of the Okanagan Cottage Owners’ Association, said they are disappointed, but “there’s not much we can do about it.” “We will continue to fight the Okanagan Basin Water Board in wanting our leases terminated,” he added. The OBWB has been lobbying the province for six years, urging that the lots not be sold to lessees. The board said it would limit options for expansion of the reservoirs if they had to buy out property owners and that more development on the small, upland lakes could result in increased risks to water quality. For the past couple of years there’s been a moratorium on sale of the lots by the province. OBWB water stewardship director Nelson Jatel said they’re pleased
with the decision. “We’ve been working on this for six years. Board policy is that we don’t want to have permanent building around (drinking water) reservoirs,” he said. H o w e v e r , Manchester said the cottage owners feel there are alternative solutions to the valley’s water issues other than raising dams on reservoir lakes. Most water purveyors would prefer midelevation storage to raising dams on highelevation reservoirs, he added. Lake Country Mayor James Baker said they’re ecstatic the government is no longer considering sales of the reservoir lots. He said they realize there will never be closed watersheds in the Okanagan as there are in the Lower Mainland, but it’s important to ensure that the environ-
ment around reservoirs is not degraded. There are 55 cabins and three commercial properties on Lake Country’s upland reservoirs and he said he feels those lessees should not be paying taxes based on assessment rates for freehold land, since it would be worth much more than leased land. However, he said it’s important that those lands remain public.
Lake Country has initiated a process to raise its dams on Beaver, Crooked and Oyama Lakes, but Manchester says no technical information has yet been supplied to the environment ministry to support the application. And, he said, only one or two cabins would be affected by it, so a ban on sale of any reservoir lots isn’t necessary.

Certain experiences in the next 365 days might teach you that you are far luckier in situations where you rely only on yourself alone. Once you can discern the differences, you won’t get involved in joint endeavors unless you must.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) A tip given to you by a wellintentioned friend could be of little substance, so before you gamble on it, be sure to thoroughly check out all the sources that you can find.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Even though you and your mate may have a common objective, if you aren’t being supportive of one another, each could go about handling it in a manner that would undermine the entire effort.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Strive to be cognizant of the feelings of your family members when dealing with them. In fact, try to set the example, not the rules, and let them know any harshness will provoke difficulties.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Enjoy yourself and have a good time, but be extra mindful of common health concerns. Be careful not to eat or drink more than you should, and don’t overtax your physical stamina.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A particular philosophy that works well for you doesn’t necessarily do so for a friend, so don’t impose your ideas on him/her. Instead of helping, it could weaken the relationship.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) If you behave too flamboyantly, members of the opposite gender might not see you as being charismatic as you would like or as wonderful as you envision yourself to be. Hang on to your ego.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Although you might be enjoying a slight edge in a commercial arrangement, keep in mind that it could be extremely thin. You’ll quickly discover its fragility if you try to push things too far.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Do not overstep the perimeters of your authority. If you attempt to throw your weight around in areas that you have no business trying to control, you will quickly be pegged for trespassing. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Without realizing it, you could be extremely intolerant of anybody who isn’t in complete agreement with your ideas. Don’t be testy with a friend who deserves better treatment. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) This could turn out to be one of those rainy days for which you should have been saving your pennies, but, sadly, when you check your wallet, you might find it holding nothing but faded photographs.

HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes and weight gain. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment includes the use of bioidentical, plant based hormones that closely duplicate hormones your body produces. Natural hormones also slow the aging process.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) On the whole, others will enjoy working alongside you unless your assertiveness becomes overwhelming. Nothing will turn them off quicker than you acting as if they are working for you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ve heard of the old saying “What goes around comes around.” This is nice if you’ve done something good, but it’ll be a different story for you if the opposite is true.

INTRODU INTRODUCING
Bridge by Phillip Alder In the movie “The Scotsman,” Nicole Kidman has this line: “When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you can have more happiness.” That is so inappropriate for bridge. If you don’t control your future, going down in a contract you could have made, you and your partner will have more unhappiness. That happened on this deal. How should South have played in four hearts after West started the defense with three rounds of spades? North was painted into a corner on the second round of the auction. He couldn’t cue-bid two spades without game-forcing values; he couldn’t rebid
two no-trump without a spade stopper; he couldn’t rebid three clubs without six; and he couldn’t raise diamonds without four. So he settled for two hearts. South, expecting threecard support, jumped to game in that suit. Declarer ruffed the third spade and played three rounds of hearts. However, West took the third and inconsiderately led another spade. South ruffed, but it was with his last heart. He could cash two diamonds and two clubs, but West took the last two tricks with his trump and a spade for down two. Declarer did not keep trumps under control. At trick four, he should have led the heart jack from his
hand. If West won with his queen and persevered with another spade, South would ruff with dummy’s heart nine, cross to his hand in a minor, and draw trumps. If West ducked, declarer would draw two more rounds of trumps, then play on the minors.

right that a lot of men expect a physical relationship with someone your age (although not after one week). There are plenty of guys who would be willing to get to know you and commit to a relationship before attempting to get you into bed. Keep looking. They are out there. Dear Annie: I have another take on the letters about funerals where the mourners may not wish to view the remains. Before my wife passed away in April, she made arrangements for her body to be donated to the University of Tennessee Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology. When she died, we notified them and they took her body to the school in Memphis. Their memorial service was impressive and comforting. These medical schools are always looking for such donations, and I have made arrangements for my body to be used the same way when the time comes. — Sevierville, Tenn.

ear Annie: My sister, “Didi,” has been living with my husband and me for several months. Didi pays a modest amount of rent based on her income — but we set it up before she started working more consistently. She now has a part-time job and still doesn’t contribute anything more. If she were saving her money, I would understand, but she’s spending it on clothes and expensive makeup. She rarely helps around the house with cleaning or cooking. I realize she is lucky to have a job, but she refuses to pick up a second one. I told her I saw a “for hire” sign at a fast-food place close to home, but she won’t apply. I should also point out that she doesn’t drive, and I take her to work each day. On days when I have to drop her off early or pick her up late because of my own job, she gives me a bit of attitude. Frankly, I’m ready for her to move out, but I don’t think she can afford it yet, and I don’t want her asking me for money to help pay her rent.

BIBLE BASICS
Hallelujah: Rev. 19.1-6 only. Allelulah: praise ye Yah: “I heard a great voice out of much people in heaven saying, Alleluia, Salvation, glory, honour, and power, unto the Lord our God.” This begins the Marriage of the Lamb in ascending praise to God. The praise of YAH links the Song of the Apocalypse with the Halleluya song of Psalms 146:1: the Jewish great Hallel - the triumph of Jesus Christ.

All instructors are donating their time for the cause. As well, Nickoli has been busy on the choreography for a group Bollywood number which all of the instructors will perform together. “You definitely don’t don’t need to be experienced in Zumba to take part...I actually have some regular participants that got hooked on Zumba after they participated in the event last year.” And while Nickoli said the energy this

I love seeing my participants
Serving The Greater Okanagan Area
Whether you’ve been taking salsa lessons for 20 years or the closest you’ve come to Latin dance is watching Dancing with the Stars, Sareena Nickoli promises that anyone can take part in Zumba. The Latin-based dance fitness craze that has swept through gyms and dance studios for the past few years is the theme once again for the Second Annual Zumba for a Cause fundraiser Oct. 29. “Zumba has become such a popular fitness activity because it doesn’t feel like a workout, it’s just a big dance party,” she said. “I love the way people get lost in the music and are able to let go and dance free with no hesitation. “Zumba is for all ages and fitness levels, and there is no right/ wrong way of dancing...it is totally your own interpretation of the music. The music is so energetic that you instantly want to dance as soon as the music starts.” Sponsored by Fitness West and City Furniture and Appliances, Zumba for a Cause takes place Oct. 29 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Vernon Recreation Centre, with all proceeds to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Maternal/Child Unit, for the purchase of a piece of equipment. Nickoli said last year’s fundraiser brought in $5,000 — $2,000 more than the goal she had set. “This year we are hoping for $7,000 but we can’t do that without the support of the community.” Last year’s event, at the Schubert Centre, was filled with people of all ages, shimmying,

Tickets to Zumba for a Cause are $25 (includes Zumba T-shirt), available at both South and North locations of Fitness West, City Furniture & Appliances, VJH Foundation Office, Ladies World and Goodlife Fitness. There are also plenty of door prizes to be won. “I would also like to mention that Courtney Ellerman and Jenn Woelke at Fitness West have been a big part in planning this event, collecting door prizes, and I would also like to thank Andrea Egan from the VJH Foundation for being a huge support. “Plus we have so much support from local radio stations Kiss

News College offers web contest
Morning Star Staff
Okanagan College’s communications department has launched a contest for future students. The contest runs until Nov. 30, and involves developing either posters or 30-second web videos to promote the two-year diploma program.
“We thought this would be an interesting way to communicate the fact of the program to the larger public and at the same time involve high school and college students to have them help to spread the word,” said Marc Arellano, communications professor. “We’ve got an exciting new pro-
gram with great profs, and we want to help more people understand what’s available at Okanagan College.” All elements of the posters and videos must feature original content. The contest is open to anyone who is considering registering full-time in the arts program at Okanagan College
next year. Participants may be Grade 12 students or adult learners. The first place winner will receive a $1,000 tuition voucher, for full-time studies next year. For more details, or to submit your entry, go to www.okanagan.bc.ca/ spreadtheword.

Nothing Victorian about this city
D
riving along a major suburban thoroughfare on a recent sunny afternoon, I couldn’t help but notice a woman casually relieving herself on the grass between the sidewalk and the street. The highly visible location seemed deliberately chosen, perhaps as a street person’s farewell to another golden summer in B.C.’s most peed-upon city. This sort of flagrant offence against decency would still have shock value in most B.C. communities, but here in Victoria the likeliest reaction would be, “Hey, you’re on the wrong street.” The Pandora Avenue squat, as it came to be known, was this summer’s politically correct theatre of the absurd, and as usual it was not rated for family viewing. A filthy little tent city sprang up on a broad downtown boulevard across from one of the local homeless handout services, migrating in from local parks. Public peeing was among the milder problems on Pandora. This was well illustrated by its sudden end in September. Victoria News reported that a core group of drug dealers were picked up in an undercover police buyand-bust operation at the Pandora squat. Overnight the tent city vanished. A combination of cooler weather and the closure of the crack-and-meth bazaar seems to have done the
trick, as campers suddenly came to appreciate the vacant shelter beds up the street. B.C.’s urban southwest offers a glimpse of the future for other communities around the province in the abandonment of community standards. And nobody Tom Fletcher surrenders quite like Victoria. This is a town that wilts like lettuce before an invasion of feral bunny rabbits. It’s a town that celebrates an urban design award for its downtown urinal, an expensive but oh-soartistic response to the monsoon of doorway peeing that pours down after the bars close. The city’s response to a court ruling limiting its ban on camping in parks was timid even by Victoria standards. Hounded by the “homeless” and their “advocates” at every step, city council finally passed a bylaw declaring campsites on boulevards to be banned as a traffic hazard. By the time they got it done, the summer squat had folded. Along the way it was revealed that at least some of the campers weren’t homeless, having had “social” housing provided to them, and that shelter beds had also been sitting empty. The shelter beds are significant from a legal as well as a commonsense point of view. The court ruling had said the city couldn’t prevent people from putting up tents, but only if there were no shelter beds available.

But apparently verifying homelessness would have been too harsh. A few weeks ago on a ferry crossing, I overheard a couple of fragrant young fellows, fresh from few weeks picking fruit in the Okanagan and looking for a comfortable place to ride out the winter. Victoria here they come. This has been going on for generations, and it apparently remains a path of
choice for winter refugees all the way from Quebec. Housing and Social Development Minister Rich Coleman was on Sean Leslie’s CKNW radio program the other day, talking up B.C.’s efforts to get people off the street. He did allow that the southwestern corner of the province does have a couple of different factors to consider. “The big one is
probably weather, so we do get some in-migration at times of the year because the weather is different in other areas of Canada,” Coleman said, demonstrating his mastery of understatement. Warm weather and weak local government are a bad combination. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

ADVERTORIAL
Sick and Tired of Losing Money in Mutual Funds and the Stock Market? Think Getting 1 to 1½ % on Your Savings and GIC’s is a Bad Joke? Then Come to This FREE Event October 26 and ....
“Discover The #1 Investment SECRET the Big Canadian Banks and Mutual Fund Co.’s PRAY You Never Find Out...” (And That Your Accountant and Financial Planner Cannot Tell You)! Darren Weeks, Canadian “Multi-Millionaire” (from Edmonton), is revealing the proven investment strategies he learned personally from Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad), and has perfected for our unique Canadian situation. Darren is offering an absolutely FREE event in Vernon on Tuesday, October 26 to show how you too can become financially independent and be able to do whatever you want... in 5 years or less! (No matter what is happening in the economy). He’s also giving away an Amazing FREE gift to every attendee who brings a guest. His NEW audio CD “The 7 Keys to Creating Wealth What your banker hopes you never learn. in Canada” – a $39.95 value – FREE of charge just for bringing a friend (your guest gets one too)! Dear Financially Frustrated Fellow Canadian: The banks and mutual fund companies want to keep you in the dark. I know that those are strong words, and I wouldn’t be so bold in saying them if I couldn’t back it up. The truth of the matter is that I’m really ANGRY and I will NOT keep quiet any longer. My name is Darren Weeks and I want to show you a whole NEW world when it comes to getting ahead financially in Canada. This is the truth about investing that many in the ‘establishment’ really don’t want you to know. Forget what you learned (or didn’t learn) about money and investing in school or from your parents. What worked for their generation no longer works in today’s economy. And take everything you have heard about creating wealth from your banker and financial planner and flush it right down the toilet, because that is where it belongs. The next time your banker or mutual fund sales person (oh, sorry, I meant ‘financial planner’) suggests investing in some ‘wonderful’ mutual fund or stock – ask to see their audited financial statement. Chances are, they have a lot less money than you think (and quite probably a lot less than you have). Why continue to take financial advice from broke salespeople? It doesn’t make any sense. But Why Should You Listen To Me? Good question – you should only take advice from people who are successful, and hopefully more successful than you are. My name is Darren Weeks, and I am proud to say that many of my students across the country call me the “Canadian Rich Dad”. Why? Because the monthly Passive Income (i.e. money I don’t have to work for) from my Investments and Businesses is more than what most Canadians work hard for all year long. It also has to do with the fact that I have a very close association with Robert Kiyosaki, author of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and that I have been sharing my “Canadianized” version of his teachings with hundreds of thousands of Canadians since 2001. I am very pleased that I have been able to show Canadians across the country how to take control of their own finances, and to live life on their own terms. I have spurred dozens of people (if not hundreds now) to become millionaires, or multi-millionaires in 5 years or less. Now I do not take the credit for their success – they took the action and actually did something – and I am just happy that I was able to inspire them in some way. Here are Some Credentials… My companies, The Fast Track Group, were honored to be included in the 2010 Profit Magazine list of the fastest growing companies in Canada. One of my companies is also the official sponsor of the Canadian Luge team, and we attracted quite a bit of notoriety in the press during the recent Vancouver Olympics when it was leaked that I offered anyone on the team a $1,000,000 reward if they won a Gold medal (and my offer still stands for the 2014 games in Russia)! I don’t say this to brag, I just tell you this to credentialize myself a bit, and to give you confidence that I am not some fly-by-night quack out trying to peddle you some modern-day financial ‘snake-oil’. I actually do what I am going to teach you about – it’s not theory – it really works. I’m living proof of it. So are my students.
Now let’s get back to the point at hand – how YOU can get superior Return On Investment (ROI) on your hard-earned investment dollars. Here’s What Not to Do: If you follow the establishment’s rules, you will… Pay the highest MER’s in the world. Create a house of cards based portfolio, largely reliant on the U.S. dollar. Listen to advisors whose advice is proven to be about as accurate as a monkey throwing darts at stock picks on the wall... Continue to walk ‘blind’ with Banks, Mutual Fund Co’s, and even the Canadian Government wanting to keep you in the dark Think you are happy with returns that don’t even keep up with the real inflation rate (and the ‘official’ inflation calculations are an absolute crock.) Here are the Benefits of DOING IT RIGHT: But... When you learn the New Rules of Investing, you will... Discover that high returns = high risk is not always accurate. See how easy it can be to take control of your own investing without having to pay huge M.E.R’s (management expense ratios) Understand the pro’s and con’s of investing in gold and silver.
for being suspicious...there are a lot of seminar companies out there that do just that. I assure you, I do not. We do have a selection of quality books and resources available if you are interested. But that is not the goal of me putting on this event. My goal is to give you some phenomenal education and information and to hopefully help you to have a complete mind-shift when it comes to money and creating wealth in Canada. One of the biggest lessons I ever learned from my good friend and mentor, Robert Kiyosaki, is this: Give first without expectation of gain, and you will gain a lot in the long run. So, if you like what I say, you may decide you want to do business with my company in the future. Fair enough?
CD (a $39.95 value). This is my gift to you, as my way of thanking you for bringing your spouse or a guest.
Of course, putting on these events is very expensive. So to help defray the costs I have a very few, select sponsors. You get a fantastic financial education, I get to meet you and spread the Rich Dad message, and the sponsors get a few minutes to show you what they do. The best thing is…we all win!
VERNON Events at 12-3 pm or 7-10 pm Tuesday, October 26 The Prestige Hotel Conference Ctr. 4411 32nd St. Here are 2 ways to do it: 1. Register online at: www.VernonGetRichNow.ca 2. or Call 1-877-RICH CDN (1-877-742-4236) with our 24hr. live operator.
So keep your cheque-book at home, come with an open mind to learn – there is nothing more expensive than a book at this event. How About if I Give You Even More? If I’m going to give away the farm, I might as well go even one step further…so, just for bringing your spouse or a like-minded guest to this FREE event, I want to give you another FREE gift…My “7 Keys to Creating Wealth in Canada” audio
Never want to see another mutual fund or G.I.C. ever again!
Feel comfortable looking at different investment plans that may have baffled you before.
See how Robert Kiyosaki analyzes deals and how you can do the same, easily.
But do you think ultra-rich Canadians pay that much in taxes? Of course not. They know the legal loop-holes to minimize their tax burden or even eliminate it altogether. As a part of this presentation, I will share with you the tax shrinking strategies of the wealthy (even used by one previous Prime Minister). So you can either complain, gripe and gnash your teeth about how unfair it all is, or you can learn the Rules of the Canadian Rich. The Golden Rule when it comes to money is “He (or She) Who Has the Gold...Makes the Rules”. I’m going to level the playing field with what I teach you at this event, so you can play the game of money just like the rich folks do. And Why is This Event FREE? Now if you have ever been to another ‘Free’ financial education seminar before, you are probably worried that I am going to get you all fired up and excited, and then pull the old ‘baitand-switch’ on you about half way through, (and try and sell you some super expensive investment or real estate course/training). I don’t blame you

UBCO students facing serious rental housing crunch JENNIFER SMITH Black Press
Students thrust into high-end housing markets need someone to help them find shelter before hitting the books, a UBC Okanagan graduate says. In conducting research for his masters degree in human geography, Jamie McEwan said he unearthed horror stories on the
lengths some students need to go to find a place to live in Kelowna. McEwan conducted 30 interviews in an exploratory case study of students aged 18 to 30 searching for rental housing in 2009. He was told by his interview subjects they knew of six to eight people sharing a one-bedroom apartment and even one person who pitched a tent off campus while attending
UBCO. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students are coming here thinking that within two weeks to a month they will be able to find housing for the year and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply not happening,â&#x20AC;? McEwan said. Today the rental rate within the city is returning to a more normal vacancy of four to six per cent, but once the housing market heats up again, McEwan figures the
affordability crisis â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which saw the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation peg Kelowna at a zero vacancy rate in some years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will only be worse. With development in a slump and numbers on both the UBCO and Okanagan College campuses rising, McEwan sees an unprecedented supply and demand problem on the horizon within the next

five years. This could send prospective Okanagan post-secondary recruits to easier housing markets to seek a degree or push even more of those students who do attend school in the area to leave immediately after graduation, he warned. And he is concerned there is not enough being done to address the problem.
