a choice. He did it like everything else he does, on his own terms,” said Pohorelic. “In order to find a new leader with a new approach to governing B.C. the party will need to go a long way back in the line of people behind the premier. There are very few that have distinguished themselves from Campbell over the years.” Efforts have been launched to recall Liberal MLAs and Campbell’s resignation apparently won’t change those plans. “Just because the leader of the party has resigned doesn’t mean that the MLAs get a free pass,” said Dan Thorburn, a local recall organizer. “Recall is about holding the MLAs accountable for their decisions to ignore the wishes of the voters. There are a lot of other reasons for why certain MLAs should be recalled. A new leader won’t change this fact.” Deb Leroux, Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce president, points out that there were positive and challenging experiences during Campbell’s tenure. “We have seen investment in the province through sustainable development and an increase in support for the business community overall,” she said.
Shuswap MLA George Abbott may be in the running to replace Gordon Campbell as premier. Campbell announced Wednesday he’s stepping aside after leading the province since 2001. He’s requested that the Liberal Party executive schedule a leadership convention for the earliest possible date. Seeking the party’s top job is something Abbott is thinking about. “It’s far too early to make any decision in regards to leadership,” said Abbott. “The leadership question is something I’ll consider on another day. I haven’t ruled it out.” Abbott expects to make a decision once a timeline for the leadership process has been determined. Abbott was first elected Shuswap MLA in 1996, and George Abbott he has served as minister of health, community services, sustainable resource management and aboriginal relations. He is currently education minister. Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, would not speculate on who may seek the Liberal leadership and who he may support. “It’s premature for me to comment on who may be the successor,” said Foster. Opposition parties don’t believe Campbell’s departure will rally British Columbians around the Liberals. “Regardless of the individual, there is an overall philosophy in the Liberal Party many British Columbians have a problem with,” said Steve Gunner, president of the Shuswap NDP Constituency Association. “His follower will be tainted through association with him. The public can see through what Campbell’s trying to do.” The B.C. Conservatives claim that handing off the position to another Liberal caucus member will not change the government. “The people of this province don’t trust the B.C. Liberals any more,” said Wayne McGrath, Conservative president and a Vernon resident. “It’s about more than the harmonized sales tax. Last week’s income tax reduction was another example of trying to fool the people of the province – that tax cut is largely offset by other fees and taxes like corporate taxes, carbon taxes, a cap and trade scheme, the Pacific carbon trust, property transfer taxes, fuel tax going up every July 1.”

News Details scarce in death ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
CORY BIALECKI/MORNING STAR
RCMP investigators map out a crime scene in a parking lot in Enderby early Wednesday morning after a body was found near a parked truck at Sutherland’s Bakery.
Charge approved in Lake Country fatal CHERYL WIERDA Black Press
A Motor Vehicle Act charge has been approved against the driver who allegedly fatally injured a teenaged girl walking along a Lake Country road on a dreary, dark afternoon last January. According to court records, 80-year-old George Kozub was charged Friday with driving without due care and attention in relation to the Jan. 13 crash that killed 15-year-old Josie Evans. He is scheduled to make his first court appearance next month.
le Availabock t on in-s ses purcha!! only
The crash that took the life of Evans happened on Bottom Wood Lake Road, north of Mayrus Road, around 4:30 p.m. that day, and police at the time reported that visibility was “extremely poor,� as it was raining heavily and there was a lack of street lights in the area. Evans, clad in dark clothing, was struck from behind as she walked in the same direction as traffic along the roadway, which doesn’t have a sidewalk, police said. The death of the George Elliot Secondary student prompted
calls for road improvements, and since her passing, the speed limit in front of the high school, located not far from the crash site, was reduced to 30 kilometres per hour. As well, the fog lines have been repainted and crosswalks have been painted where the sidewalks end as part of an effort to encourage students to walk facing traffic. “It’s an ongoing process,� said Lake Country Mayor James Baker, noting many road improvements are in the district’s long-term plan. “We are working at it and we’re working with the students
(at George Elliot Secondary) and the engineering department.� When the district incorporated 15 years ago, many of the area’s roads met provincial standards for rural roads. Baker says district staff are going after grants to improve them and they are also requiring sidewalks for new developments. Lodge Road, which is more narrow than Bottom Wood Lake Road and is also used by students, is being targeted for improvements that will hopefully happen in the next year, said Baker.
RCMP say the public has no reason to be concerned following the discovery of a body in an Enderby parking lot just before midnight Tuesday. The body of a woman was located beside a truck in the lot of Sutherland’s Bakery on Highway 97A. “I can say this is an isolated incident and the public shouldn’t be worried,� said RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk Wednesday afternoon. Police were on the scene for more than 12 hours and were continuing to investigate the death, which Molendyk said will be treated as suspicious until they can determine if it’s a suspicious death or not. An autopsy was scheduled to be performed on the unidentified victim, who is believed to be from the Okanagan area, in Kamloops on Thursday. Investigators from the South East District major crime unit are expected to release more information on this case after the autopsy.

vehicles at the scales. However, Hansma said there are many residents in Spallumcheen who don’t have access to commercial garbage collection and they need to get rid of their trash. Director Doug Dirk opposed the higher minimum tipping fee, saying it could lead to illegal dumping. “If people are discouraged to self-haul, they may look for other options especially in rural areas,” he said. While the minimum tipping fee isn’t going up, other fees at local landfills are increasing. Starting in January, the fee for regular refuse will be increased from $75 to $85 per tonne. That money will go into the capital reserve, the landfill closure reserve and the solid waste management operating reserve.
Fire protection on agenda for upcoming meeting ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Three communities have mutually agreed to talk mutual aid when it comes to fire protection. Okanagan Indian Band officials will meet with representatives from Spallumcheen and Armstrong Wednesday to discuss a possible mutual aid agreement for fire protection. There is currently no agreement in place, and Spallumcheen Mayor Will Hansma brought up the topic in light of

members of the Armstrong-Spallumcheen Fire Department helping out with several recent fires on band land. “Without having any joint programs in place, this is putting our fire department in a stressful situation to respond,” said Hansma. “I’m quite concerned about the liability aspects, and it puts an unnecessary risk on the residents of Spallumcheen and Armstrong, and risk for our firefighters.” Armstrong-Spallumcheen firefighters were called in for backup to help OKIB
members battle a pair of cabin fires on Fred Road Oct. 29. They also helped battle a fire on Westside Road that destroyed four homes this summer. “I’ve had this discussion with my council, we’ve agreed we should have a mutual agreement in palce and we’re moving forward,” said OKIB Chief Fabian Alexis. “We under the liabilities aspect of it, and a mutual aid agreement would entail that. Our resources are very limited. Our fire hall is not that big and we realize we need to work on that.”

A select group of elected officials will oversee a Shuswap watershed sustainability project, and that’s not going over well with other politicians.

Real estate activity in the North Okanagan continues to slow down. There were 108 overall sales in October, down 30 per cent from 156 during the same month last year. Year over year, total residential sales fell 28.15 per cent from 135 to 97. “Sporadic consumer confidence is mirroring mixed media messaging about the economy particularly out of the U.S. where the economy and resulting job loss has been slow to recover,” said Darcy Griffiths, an Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board
director. “While it is understandable that consumers are cautious, the reality is that conditions are very ripe for buyers with many factors tipping the balance in their favor; a vast selection of properties to choose from, more attractive pricing and flexible conditions from sellers, and record low interest rates all combine to create advantages for buyers that may not exist in the future.” Active listings increased nine per cent to 2,421 from 2,220 last October.
we have considerable information that could be useful to that plan,” he said. Macnabb believes consulting with municipalities on representation could delay the project. “All we’re trying to do is get something going because we believe the Shuswap watershed is an important resource,”
he said. Support for limiting the steering committee to the electoral area directors came from Eugene Foisy, Cherryville’s representative. “We’re not trying to block the river. We’re trying to enhance the quality so I’m not sure why anyone would be opposed,” he said.

Club unveils new cabin
Totally Wacky Tuesday!
ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
For years, hundreds of snowmobilers, snowshoers and hikers would pop into the Armstrong cabin, about 22 kilometres from the Vernon Snowmobile Association’s (VSA) main parking lot at Sovereign Lake, and warm up by the wood stove. They’d use the cabin to cook lunch or just enjoy the peace of being in the backcountry, sometimes with wildlife popping by to have a look. The Armstrong cabin was a refuge for sledders whose machines broke down. In January of 2010, the uninsured structure fell victim to a fire, the cause of which was undetermined. Undeterred, the VSA set out to literally rebuild the Armstrong cabin from its ashes. And now, save for some cedar siding inside and out, the cabin has been rebuilt. “It’s great news, everybody is really happy,” said Dianne Evans with the VSA. “We only had to invest $5,000, so that’s really good.” Because the cabin means so much to so many outdoor enthusiasts, volunteer labour was easy to find. Eight full-day work parties were held, usually with about eight people per party, and, despite the fact the helpers had little-to-no

Millwork from Enderby donated a lot of the material and labour. Shepherd’s Home Hardware and Building Supplies donated services and drafted up the building plan. The draftsman came out and worked on the building a couple of times. To help replenish funds the association used to rebuild the cabin, the VSA is gear-
ing up for its annual Snow Show, a fundraising event held with clubs from Lumby and Mabel Lake. “The Snow Show is the only thing we have,” said Evans. “It keeps us going. The monies are used to help maintain and, sometimes, rebuild our chalets, and maintain our trails and brush them. “The trails have to be groomed, of course. It’s just a lot of maintenance issues.” The Snow Show is set for Nov. 12, from 3 to 10 p.m. at the Vernon Recreation Complex.
The Morning Star wishes to clarify an article in the Nov. 3 edition. According to the City of Enderby, the actual cost of the roundabout on Cliffview Drive, at Johnston Street, was $1.692 million, including engineering, design and construction.

That was Nov. 10, 1993 and it has been my assignment to interview dozens of veterans and others about their memories of the First and Second World Wars and write their stories every year since. I reluctantly admit that I didn’t know much of that part of our country’s history until then. History was taught in school. I remember running out of the room feeling sick the first time I saw the old newsreels because I had grown up on a farm without TV and not been exposed to Cara Brady violence. I didn’t believe that people would do that to each other. But I am a Boomer. I would never have been born if my parents had not met during the Second World War. My father and several uncles served in the Canadian Forces but they never talked about it much, they wanted to turn their attention to their work and families. For the 1993 Remembrance Day special supplement I interviewed five Vernon veterans. What has impressed me most over the years is that people want to talk about that time (and some don’t want to talk about it), not to make themselves out to be heroes but to help others to understand what it was like and do their part towards the hope that it doesn’t happen again. Some comments from that first year: “There were some lessons to be learned during the war. The biggest is to get along with your fellow man. Be ready to compromise and negotiate.” — Ken Little. served in Holland “We felt we had to go, that our freedom and this country were worth fighting for.” David Kinloch. —served in Italy. “If politicians were made to fight there would be no wars.” — Vic Policheck. served in Europe, pilot. The 1994 interviews show the veterans’ sense that people were not respecting Remembrance Day in a way that showed respect and appreciation for veterans, even a certain sadness at being forgotten. Others talked about the bad dreams they had over the years, long before the term post-traumatic stress disorder was invented. People who had relatives and friends in the services continued to send in their pictures, which make up an important part of the Remembrance Day special supplement. Many of the names are still recognizable in the

community, the ones who came back and those who didn’t. They were all so young, or they looked older than they actually were, in the way that people did in those days. Maybe it was the uniforms. 1995 was the first year I interviewed women who had been in the services, Norma Smith and Norah Stewart, who both served in Canada doing office work, as for the most part, only nurses were posted overseas. I talked to Sheila Schultz, Anna Othman, Hazel Smithman and Cecile Houle, all members of the Canadian Women’s Army Corps. I also met two First World War veterans, George Clarke, then 97, who was 15 when he joined the Volunteer Force Transport Corps and went to Europe. He remembered friends killed in the trenches. Colin Heath, then 95, was too young to join the regular forces but he served as a batman (valet) to officers in the Army. They both recalled the first Armistice Day, Nov. 11, 1918, which was announced in the newspapers since there was no radio then. I went on to meet and write about many more veterans and other people who shared their memories about what it was like for civilians in Canada, England, and Europe during the wars. All have fascinating stories to tell, much more than could ever be included in a short newspaper article, and I hope they have recorded their memories elsewhere as part of the history of our country. Dave Parker and Edward Fred were two of many First Nations soldiers who volunteered from across Canada. Daphne Thuiller worked in intelligence in the Middle East. Patrick “Paddy” Mackie was in the Navy, escorting convoys across the North Atlantic. Miriam Jayne was in the Women’s Land Army in England. Len Bawtree still had his RAF flight log book. The veterans I talked to in later years seemed to feel that Canadians were coming to a better understanding of Canada’s forces, maybe because of the Canadian involvement in Afghanistan and our country being at war once again. Slowly, and much too late, I learned my history from the best teachers there could be — the people who lived it. I count it a privilege to have been able to meet all these people and share their stories. I hope that others have learned, too. It is interesting that these service men and women, those who were interviewed and those whose pictures appear in the supplements, did not stop serving their country when they left the military. There are several Vernon Good Citizens and many well-known community leaders and volunteers in their numbers. Others were good citizens raising their families, doing their jobs and making their community contributions. Let us learn and not forget.
Gordon Campbell was always full of surprises, and that held true right until the bitter end. It was just one week ago that an uncomfortable looking premier took to the airways in announcing a major tax cut for his fellow British Columbians, apparently in an attempt to address his low approval rating and to placate the anti-HST crowd. It didn’t work and likely led to his decision to call it quits Wednesday, but obviously last week the beleaguered leader had no intentions of resigning and few would have predicted this amazingly quick turnaround. Yet, few would argue with his statement that the public debate had become focused on one person, “as opposed to what’s in the best interest of the province of B.C.” So he stepped aside, less than a year after the enormously successful Vancouver Olympics, and ironically due to a tax, even though he likely gave residents more tax relief than any premier in this province’s history. But if the HST was his demise, and it was more the quick implementation and inept handling of what most still see as a tax grab that was truly his undoing, what will be his legacy? Again, ironically, it could be the carbon tax, hardly normally associated with right-wing governments, or the progress on relations with First Nations, again a surprising turnaround from the premier’s initial views on the matter. However, his overall legacy will likely be stability in government. In the decade before Campbell became premier in 2001 the province went through a revolving door of leaders due to scandals and political infighting, and the jury’s still out on the political aftermath of Wednesday’s announcement.

Launching into a debate
T
hanks for Richard Rolke's column regarding the boating issues in the North Okanagan. I agree with you that attempting to push boaters off Kal Lake with the suggestion that they go use Okanagan Lake is no solution. This position reflects a rather selfish and irresponsible attitude, particularly if the person making this suggestion believes this activity is detrimental to the lake. If a home owner encountered someone walking their dog and, while doing so was allowing the dog to leave a mess on his front lawn, would he deal with this situation by suggesting that the dog do its business on his neighbors lawn instead? Now we need to ask the question, when people participate in recreational boating on Kal Lake during the summer months are they behaving like the dog owner? It seems that members of Coldstream council seem to feel they are. Please allow me to make a few comments on this issue. ■ Modern recreational power boats are powered by efficient four-stroke gasoline engines similar to those found in your vehicle. Without question, a power boat produces exhaust fumes that go into the atmosphere and affect our planet in the same way as when we all drive our vehicles. However, this activity is not pumping pollutants into our lake water. ■ In regards to the issue of recreational power boats leaking fuel or oil into the lake. Let me point out that recreational boats are typically serviced at the beginning and end of each boating season. During servicing, boats are inspected for fuel and oil leaks. This is done for safety reasons. If a boat were to develop a fuel or oil leak, the leaking fuel or oil would collect
THE GAME CONTINUES So Eric Foster now describes the HST protest as a game. He uses the classic strategy for a chess game, i.e: the best form of defence is attack. But in doing so, he forgets that his party made the opening move when they misled us about the HST before the election. The next move was when the petition started. And the counter-move was to delay for a year by announcing a referendum in September 2011. So, who’s really playing games? Yes, Mr. Foster, it’s a game. And it’s going to play out until the end. You could have chosen at any time to opt out of the game and attend to the wishes of your constituents instead of to your party leader. You still can. But to continue the game you have to accept the conditions – that when you become one of the “top three” on the list, you might be recalled.
in the engine compartment or bilge, not leak into the lake, and this would create a very serious potential for fire or explosion. Hence, the need to ensure that your boat is not leaking fuel or oil before you operate it. ■ The vast majority of boats that spend the day on Kal Lake are fueled before coming to the lake as they are trailered to and from the lake each day. The only refueling of boats that takes place in the north end of Kal Lake would be done by lake front property owners who have power boats on lifts in front of their properties. I believe these to be responsible people who make every effort to refuel their boats in a environmentally safe manner. ■ Lake Powell and Lake Mead are located south of the border. These two lakes are the largest fresh water reservoirs in America. These bodies of water provide drinking water to millions of Americans and irrigation for most of the western states. Yet both of these lakes have extensive recreational boating activity on them.
This can be avoided, for there’s another way to play games. It’s called “win-win." Every aspect of life is a game. It’s no accident that Games People Play was a best seller. And politics is probably the deadliest of them all. Jim Elderton A SOLUTION? In response to an earlier letter to the editor suggesting local doggy parks be illuminated at night, a recent article in Wired Science entitled "Dog Poop Powers Park Lights" may be the solution." Matthew Mazzotta, an artist from Cambridge, Mass. has designed a system that turns dog feces into fuel for a gas-burning street lamp. Developed in conjunction with MIT and the city of Cambridge, the system consists of a methane digester located in a local park. Dog owners simply pick up after their pet using a biodegradable
bag and then throw it into the machine. The feces are then broken down by anaerobic bacteria, which creates the methane gas used to power the lamp. Suggestions for using any surplus "dog methane" included fueling a popcorn stand or a tea house. Peter von Hahn HST SUPPORT I too support the HST and resent the fear-mongering caused by Vander Zalm's hysterics. The advantages are many and we need the $2 billion transferred to B.C. to help our health care costs and education system, as well as infrastructure. The lower-income are already benefitting with higher quarterly rebates. Business will benefit. The Liberals have moved B.C. to a better-managed, higher credit rating province and gave us the amazing Olympics. How soon we forget the fiasco of the NDP. The Liberals have led
■ The other argument that I have heard put forward is the issue of turbidity of the water. It is suggested that power boats stir up sediment from the lake bottom which increases the turbidity level of the lake water. In response to this, let me state the obvious. Power boats do not operate in shallow water. Common sense and the law says that power boats be operated away from shore. The response to this point is that the small amount of turbidity that may be added to the lake water by power boats during launching is more than off set by the benefits created when the power boat operates at speed. Clearly the operation of power boats on the lakes during the summer months creates noise and activity on the lake. I would think that most residents of the Okanagan would view this as summer life in the Okanagan. However I will concede that some may view this as noise pollution and an intrusion to their lifestyle. I am sorry they feel this way but I believe that as a taxpaying resident of Coldstream I have the right to use the public launch in my neighborhood to access the public lake and enjoy responsible usage of the lake. A survey of Kalavista area residents was conducted early this year. The survey can be found on the Coldstream website. The results revealed that 63 per cent of residents living in the Kalavista area own boats, and the majority of resident are satisfied with the public facilities in their neighborhood. This clearly shows that the issues being pushed by the Kalavista committee and Coldstream council do not reflect the wishes of the majority of residents living in the Kalavista area, let alone the rest of Coldstream or Greater Vernon. Brent Vinoly
us through the recession and I fully support them and the government. Ontario instigated the HST without any of these recall threats and petitions and is the engine that runs this country. Get over it and let's move on. Please Mr. Vander Zalm, we have enough to fear these days besides a dollar or more on our restaurant bill. We should look at the facts and benefits of the HST instead of the propaganda perpetrated by Mr. Vander Zalm and his gang of petitioners.

District won’t join SLIPP RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Any hope of North Okanagan funds going into a broad-based Shuswap planning process have slipped away. On Wednesday, the North Okanagan Regional District board endorsed a recommendation from the Electoral Area Advisory Committee not to participate in the Salmon Arm-based Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process. “We will deal with the watershed on our own,” said chairman Herman Halvorson Halvorson referring to NORD’s Shuswap River watershed sustainability plan. “It’s up to them (Columbia-Shuswap Regional District) to deal with issues in their area. They don’t have the same planning rules as we do.” NORD has been under pressure from the CSRD and others in the Shuswap to join SLIPP at a cost of $67,000 a year over three years. Much of that money would go towards water quality monitoring. Eugene Foisy, Cherryville director, doesn’t believe there is a need to get involved. “We’re ahead of SLIPP. We’ve been doing water quality work in Cherryville for a couple of years,” he said. “When SLIPP first came on board, they didn’t include us, and now that it looks like they need funds, they come cap-in-hand to us.” Kevin Acton, Lumby director, insists NORD is

Spallumcheen taxpayers are on the hook for slightly more than $11,000 in legal fees in the case of its mayor against 39 residents. The Township of Spallumcheen has released the summary of legal expenses in the matter of the residents against Mayor Will Hansma, a twoyear legal battle that saw the mayor exonerated of conflict of interest charges by the B.C. Court of Appeal in June. Legal bills from two different law firms, from invoices received up to Sept. 28, 2010, totalled $28,265.52. However, GST and HST rebates worth $1,235.28 left the bill at $27.030.24. Recovery costs from the 39 plaintiffs were set at $15,750.00, making the net legal costs for the matter $11,280.24.

Halvorson was also concerned about NORD getting involved when not all Columbia-Shuswap communities have endorsed SLIPP. “They don’t have Sicamous on board, they don’t have rural Sicamous on board, they don’t have Salmon Arm,” he said.

Fundraiser expands cycling system Morning Star Staff
The No r t h Okanagan Cycling Society (NOCS) will be keeping watch over a newly authorized mountain bike trail that leads into Kal Lake Provincial Park. The Ministry of Tourism, Culture and the Arts has recently designated an existing section of mountain bike trail that leads into Kal Lake Provincial Park as an authorized trail and granted NOCS the authority to maintain it. This trail leads to a BC Parks authorized section of trail that NOCS manages under its parks use permit. “In essence it legitimizes the entire trail that starts on the King Edward plateau and leads down into the Cosens Creek mountain bike area of Kal Park,” said society spokesman Kirk Hughes. “This particular trail is called Big Ed and is one of Vernon’s epic downhill trails, attracting riders from all over. “This is the first authorized trail section on Crown land but outside of a provincial park in the Vernon area. NOCS is in year two of a five-year agreement with BC Parks to manage mountain bike trails in Kalamalka Lake, Silver Star and Ellison provincial parks. More good news for cycling enthusiasts. Working cooperatively with BC Parks staff, NOCS started the construction of a parking lot adjacent to the Ellison Park trail system on Eastside Road. “The area has become very popular with hikers and bikers to the point that parking on the road was creating congestion and becoming a safety concern,” said Hughes. “The BC Parks staff recognized this and have given approval to utilize a portion of an existing gravel pit for parking.” Heavy equipment
operations for the project were donated by local contractors Paul Dick Excavating and Bearpaw Earthworks. The society’s website, www.okcycling. com, states that NOCS was incorporated as a non-profit society in 2005 to maintain, enhance and develop mountain bike trails in the region’s neighborhood. All of this is done through countless volunteer hours by people with a love for the sport. To help raise money for the society, which is put back into local trails, NOCS holds fundraisers, which includes showing movies. NOCS will host the mountain bike movie premier, Life Cycles, Monday at 7 p.m. at the Okanagan College (Kalamalka campus) theatre. Tickets are $12 and available at Olympia Cycle, Skyride Cycle and Sun Country Cycle. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

IPE takes home B.C. blue ribbons Known for handing out ribbons to its exhibitors, Armstrong’s Interior Provincial Exhibition was awarded some fabric for its own trophy case. For the second year in a row, the IPE won first place in the categories of Showcase of your Fair and Agricultural Education Exhibits for Fairs over 20,000 in attendance. The awards were handed out at the BC Fairs convention Oct. 21 to 23 in Vernon. “Showcase of your Fair award is kind of an overall summary of your fair, highlighting all the key components,” said Bryan Burns, General Manager of the IPE. The second IPE award was in the Agricultural Education Exhibits. “This category was to share how we provide education to
“It is an awesome accomplishment to be recognized on a provincial level.” — Shirley Fowler the public about agriculture in an interesting, innovative manner from signage, a display or an interactive exhibit,” said Burns. “It was the final award of the night and everyone at the IPE is proud of this accomplishment.” Dave Jordan, a longtime volunteer of the IPE, past president and lifetime member of the association was awarded the Distinguished Service award. This award is available to an individual in recognition of longtime service to and/or direct involvement with a mem-
ber fair/exhibition or the association (minimum 10 years). The nominee must generally have promoted the best interests of the fair/exhibition or association. “What an honour for Dave. He has put a tremendous effort into the IPE over the years and it is quite the accomplishment to see him recognized in this manner,” said Shirley Fowler, IPE president. The winning didn’t stop there for the IPE, which placed in the Member’s Choice Awards.
“We submitted the winner of one of the IPE Photograph divisions,” said Fowler. “This category was about depicting agriculture and Karen Johanson, a local resident, received a second place with an outstanding photograph taken at their property in Spallumcheen. It was a very nice mother-and-calf photo and we are so proud of her.” “It is an awesome accomplishment to be recognized on a provincial level”, said Burns. “We really want to say thank you to the community for all their participation in making the IPE the excellent event that it is and continuing to support us.” The Interior Provincial Exhibition will be going into its 112th year in 2011, with the annual fair set to run from Aug. 31 to Sept. 4.
Chamber looking forward to a great year Morning Star Staff
Sandra Starke believes the ArmstrongSpallumcheen Chamber of Commerce has a bright future. Starke, from Valley First Financial Services in Armstrong, was reelected president of the board of directors at the chamber’s annual general meeting Thursday night. “Our members and the community are looking forward to working together to make this a great place to work, live and play,” said Starke. Andrew Laird of KISS-FM was elected vice-president. Returning board directors include Sally Richards (Armstrong Inn), Fran Stecyk (Vantage One Credit Union), Patti Paterson (Patricia Paterson Chartered Accountant), Sean Newton (Caravan Farm Theatre), Dave Glason (Okanagan Linux Solutions) and Jayme McKillop (Rancho Vignola). Also re-elected to the board were Donna Steeves (Valley First Financial Services Armstrong), Sharon Dahl (Re/Max Armstrong) and Bruce Brown (Glad Tidings Church). Cindy Masters of Kindale Development Association was newly elected to a two-year term.
“With this board, we have a mix which represents the types of businesses active in our community,” said Patti Noonan, chamber executive director. “One
of the strengths of our chamber is the diversity reflected in the board of directors.” The AGM began with a dessert buffet by Waight Catering.
Mayors Chris Pieper (Armstrong) and Will Hansma (Spallumcheen) swore in the new board, followed by remarks from Jon Garson, BC Chamber vice-president

New trail network proving popular

Morning Star Staff
A busy construction season has come to a close and that means Vernonites have several new ways to get around. The city completed trails and pathways in five areas of the community during 2010. “They are proving popular with local cyclists and pedestrians alike,� said Rob Dickinson, engineering manager. Among the projects was a bridge that links 43rd Street and 25th Avenue by the new bridge at the sewer treatment facility. “The bridge is designed to minimize the impact on the Vernon Creek riparian area and connect to a recently completed pathway, making walking and cycling trips to nearby employment and shopping destinations faster and safer for area residents,� said Dickinson. There’s also the new 3.1-kilometre Commonage Trail, that will eventually link Commonage Road to Okanagan Avenue. A 600-metre link through the Department of National Defence lands is all that is left to complete this path and the city of Vernon is in contact with Ottawa to ensure this happens as possible. “Through a provincial Trees for Tomorrow grant, the city was able to provide trees which now line the bottom portion of the trail adjacent to Okanagan Avenue,� said Dickinson. Trees were also included in the Marshall Pathway project that now connects to an already existing path to the west of Marshall

Eventually, through development, the Marshall trail will provide a link to Lakeshore Road and nearby Kin Beach. Residents are also benefitting from the new Kosmina Walkway, a three-kilometre paved path that runs from Mt. Fosthall Drive to Middleton Road and Highway 6. “For the enjoyment of residents and tourists alike, the new lake access hiking trail was completed this summer,� said Dickinson. Located on the west side of Tronson Road, just before entering Canadian Lakeview Development, the Vernon portion of the project begins just south of 9048 Tronson Road at the lake access site. The

trail features two viewpoints of Okanagan Lake, while an upper trail connects to a North Okanagan Regional District path that leads to the lake. Other city initiatives have included Spirit Square between city hall and the library, and the Polson Greenway, which will connect Polson Park with the Village Green Mall. “Careful planning for capital work budgets over the next few years should see a number of positive changes and the city will continue to schedule projects that ultimately realize the public’s vision for a sustainable and vibrant community,� said Dickinson.

Linda Kessler enjoys a little friendly banter after receiving a flu shot from Kim Bartel during a Free Flu Clinic at the Schubert Centre. For information and dates of upcoming clinics visit www.interiorhealth.ca. Clinics continue at the Vernon Recreation Centre Nov. 15 (9 a.m. to noon) and Nov. 22 (1 to 4 p.m.)
Spallumcheen residents on the east side of Otter Lake Road enjoying a newly installed sidewalk will have to take care of the sidewalk themselves in winter. Township council has unanimously given three readings to a bylaw that would make the property owners and occupiers of homes responsible for clearing snow and debris off the sidewalk. “Due to the expansive size of the township and budget constraints, the snow/debris removal from the sidewalks has been determined by administration to be the responsibility of the property owner/occupier whose property borders the sidewalk,” wrote township deputy corporate officer Cindy Graves in a report to council. The sidewalk was part of the large capital works project this year that upgraded Otter Lake Cross Road. It was installed for the safety of children and pedestrians along the corridor. The bylaw, wrote Graves, is common practice in the local government sector, pointing out Vernon has a similar requirement in its Good Neighbour bylaw, and Salmon Arm also has a bylaw requiring the resident that borders the sidewalk to ensure it’s cleared of snow, ice and debris.

Village values wood bylaw RICHARD ROLKE
reduce greenhouse gases by about 5.7 tonnes by sequestering carbon and displacing more energy intensive materials.” Among those who have adopted similar bylaws are Vernon, Nakusp, Fruitvale, Castlegar, Campbell River, Prince George, Armstrong and Kelowna.

Lumby has been a forestry town for decades so endorsing wood construction makes sense. Council has adopted a bylaw that strongly encourages the use of wood as a primary building material in the design and construction of buildings funded by the village. “We are a logging province and community so wood first,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. However, some changes were made to the bylaw to reflect the village’s use of tax dollars for projects. “We discussed the possible negatives so we added wording to the bylaw that says we would consider wood subject to the price,” said Acton.
“...So wood first.” — Kevin Acton Depending on the cost and the scope of construction, Acton believes there may be times when other building materials, such as steel, could be required. “A wood building is probably not more expensive but it (allowing for other materials) is an option we wanted to give councils in the future,” he said. The provincial government is encouraging all municipalities to promote wood construction.
“The government of B.C. has committed to support our forest industry by requiring that wood be the primary building material in all new publicly owned and provincially funded buildings,” said Forests Minister Pat Bell in a letter to municipalities. “In addition to the economic benefits of this policy for the forest industry, there are significant climate change benefits since every tonne of wood material used in construction

Motorists ignoring school bus law
Nature’s Fare Markets Live Well. Live Organic.

When you are driving and you come upon a stopped school bus with its red lights flashing, do you stop or just drive by? If you drive by, you are putting students’ lives at risk, say police. “Police are receiving one to two complaints of school bus passing incidents each school day, and it’s a wonder no one has been hurt — yet,” said Const. Steve Holmes. According to the Motor Vehicle Act, it is an offence to fail to stop for a school bus. “When a school bus is stopped and its red lights are flashing and the stop sign is extended, you must stop whether you are driving behind the bus or approaching it from the opposite direction,” said Holmes. Failure to do so could result in a $167 fine and three points against your driver’s licence. “Even more significantly, it may result in the injury or death of a child who is crossing the roadway when traffic is supposed to be stopped,” said Holmes.

Province restores gaming grant funds for schools LACHLAN LABERE Black Press
Parent advisory councils in North Okanagan-Shuswap schools won’t have to work as hard fundraising for students this year, because the province has reinstated gaming grant funds. Late in September, B.C. Housing and Social Development minister Rich Coleman announced the province would be doubling the gaming grant fund to $20 per student enrolled. That totals $11 million going out to 1,400 schools. But South Broadview Elementary parent advisory council (PAC) president
Robin Greencorn is quick to point out that the province is only putting back what it cut in gaming funding the year prior. “When we were cut last year down to $10 it was very significant,� says Greencorn. “Depending on our enrolment, if we get $20 per student we get about $4,000 in gaming funds. Having that cut down to $2,000 last year we had to fundraise that much harder. It was very difficult. There were things we couldn’t offer the students that we normally would have. To have that back is really nice, and I’m glad that it only happened for one year.�
“This is going to be the year it happens for sure.� — Janet Aitken Parkview Elementary PAC president Bob Evans is also glad to see the funding restored. He says the funds allow the PAC to help subsidize extracurricular activities such as a field trip to see the Adams River salmon run. “The teachers are supposed to decorate their classrooms, put up posters, buy stuff to teach the kids and there’s no money. Without it,
there’s a lot of stuff that can’t be done.� Another common use of gaming funding is replacing aging playground equipment that no longer meets safety standards. This is what Salmon Arm West principal Janet Aitken wants to see happen this year, and having the restored funding will help make it possible. “This is going to be the
year it happens for sure,� says Aitken. The alternative is more fundraising, and Bastion PAC president Jennifer Cook Cook says parents are already inundated with fundraisers. “A lot of the money has to come out of the parents’ pockets, and you get to the point where you get parents who have been helping their kids fundraise, and their kids are in Grade 5, are leaving next year and they haven’t seen the result of that money,� she said. Greencorn notes that along with the cut to gaming funds last year, the province also eliminated a $20,000
playground grant that was formerly available to PACs. She adds the cost to replace a playground can run around $40,000. And while a safe playground is important, PACs are also having to shoulder those extracurricular activities that enrich the student learning experience. “I don’t think they have any idea how much the PAC is kicking in today so their kids can go on extra field trips, extra busing costs, recreational swims – a lot of that is funded through the PAC because they just don’t have the money to fund it through the school.�

Jodi Koenig (left), with the Building A Tower Of Care campaign team (left) accepts a $25,000 donation from TD Canada Trust representatives Doug Brayshaw, Dale Safinuk and Linda Theberge. The funds will go towards staff training and education.
VJH training gets huge boost Staff moving into Vernon Jubilee Hospital’s new patient care tower are getting a hand with training. TD Bank Financial Group is providing $25,000 so nurses and other caregivers can upgrade their skills in preparation for the new medical technology coming with the building when it opens next year. “We are delighted that TD is making this $25,000 donation to Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation in support of educational needs in
our new hospital,” said Laurie Postill, co-chair of the foundation’s Building A Tower of Care fundraising campaign. “For example, many departments will have upgraded computer systems that are networked to enhance patient care. Some of this technology will radically change current care practices and there will be many health care practitioners who will require training on these new systems.” TD Grants in Medical Excellence was established in 2000, and it encourages health care
workers to enhance their skills to ensure quality patient care while at the same time alleviating some of the financial burden that often accompanies continuing education. “Our goal at TD is to make a difference in the communities where we live and work,” said Dale Safinuk, district vicepresident of TD Canada Trust. “TD Grants in Medical Excellence are one of the ways we are contributing to the current and future wellbeing and health needs of Vernon and the North
Bridge work underway Morning Star Staff
Work has begun on the replacement of the Green Lake bridge to enhance salmon habitat and to improve water flow under ChaseFalkland Road. “This project is a great example of how we can protect our fish habitat and ensure the safety and reliability of our roads,” said George Abbott, Shuswap MLA. “The replacement bridge will provide enough clearance so high water debris will flow freely without causing harm to salmon or damaging the road or bridge.” A $982,000 contract was awarded to Vic Van Isle Construction.
The beams for the new structure are being fabricated in Armstrong. “The new Green Lake bridge is expected to create six jobs in our region
while improving ChaseFalkland Road for residents and visitors,” said Abbott. Work on the project is expected to be complete by Dec. 10.

Woodhead tosses aerial record Morning Star Staff
With a former Vanier Cup winning quarterback as his head coach, Chad Woodhead expected to throw the ball a lot with the Seaton Sonics this season. What the Grade 10 athlete didn't anticipate was setting a school record for passing yards. Woodhead racked up 238 yards while connecting for five touchdown passes as the Sonics closed the Interior Junior AA Varsity Football League season Wednesday by stuffing the Valleyview Vikings 52-20 at MacDonald Park. Wide receiver Travis Webster supplied seven catches for 168 yards and three touchdowns to spark the 1-4 Sonics. Luke Harrigan recorded six catches and one TD. Valleyview fell to 0-5. "It was a good effort by our kids; we've got a young green team here and they've really improved all year," said Sonic coach Ryan Reid, a University of Saskatchewan Huskies grad. "I'm happy for Woody. Our record didn't indicate it, but he had an oustanding season. There's no secret that we pass the ball here and I always ask a lot of QBs. It's simply too boring to stand here and watch hand-offs every play, not to mention getting everyone involved in the offence." In Tuesday action in Kelowna,
the Fulton Maroons rocked the Okanagan Mission Huskies 32-6 to seal second place and a playoff date with the third-place VSS Panthers. Fulton, who led 20-0 at the half, got four rushing touchdowns from Austin Richardson, including runs of 30 and 51 yards. Lucas Hofer scored on a 59-yard scramble and joined Quinten Ayers, Matt Eso, Enrique Quintanilla and Layne Greene in registering an interception. "It was a good rebound game for us after the tough loss last week," said Fulton head coach Mike Scheller. "I thought we played well in all three phases of the game. We tackled well and defended the pass well. Their QB was very good and our secondary stepped up to the challenge." Added Scheller: "Quinten Ayers and Matt Eso both played very well on the corners and Matt Kane had a great all-around game at safety, receiver and punt return. Backup linebackers Trevor Feeney, Romello Coufal and Kacey Smart all stepped up and gave us quality minutes." The Maroons (4-1) host the Panthers (4-1) Wednesday (2:30, Grahame Park), while the league champion Kalamalka Lakers (4-1) entertain the 2-3 Huskies (same time, Kal).

Dias relishing second chance with Canada West EMANUEL SEQUEIRA Black Press Sports
Madison Dias is among seven veterans on Team Canada West striving to strike gold during the World Junior A Challenge in Penticton. Dias, a Penticton product starring with the BCHL Victoria Grizzlies, was with Canada West last year when they lost 2-1 to the U.S. in the gold-medal final. “Representing Canada is awesome, it’s a definite privilege,” said Dias, who turned 18 on Tuesday. “It’s a great experience.” Team West battles Team East tonight at the Wesbild Centre in a pre-tournament exhibition. Dylan Walchuk of the Vernon Vipers is with Team West so will miss the Vipers’ game tonight in Merritt versus the Centennials. On Oct. 25, Canada West management informed the
players of their selections and GM Rylan Ferster had a few reasons for choosing Dias. “Madison, last year, was a high energy guy and skates really well and is not afraid to go in there and get his nose dirty on the forecheck,” said Ferster, of Dias. “I have watched him a couple times this year and I think his whole game has lifted up. Now he has become more of an offensive guy.” Last year’s gig for Dias was heightened with nerves flowing before the championship final. “It was a one-of-a-kind experience from the national anthem to the end of the game,” said Dias, who has 8-6-14 with the Grizzlies, and is committed to the Cornell Big Red in New York for next fall. “It was a tight game, a heartbreaker for sure. Just knowing we were that close and we didn’t win.” Dias is jacked about having friends and family, especially his grandfather, Bill Cox, watching the tournament with his
mom Cindy. “He hasn’t got to see him play much hockey because he’s 78 years old,” said Cindy, adding Bill watched Dias’ lone game last year when the Grizzlies visited Penticton and took in the exhibition games during the recent Canada West evaluation camp held in late September. Dias’ love for hockey comes from his grandfather, who was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens in the early 1950s but suffered a knee injury. “Back then they didn’t do surgeries so he didn’t play,” said Cindy. “He was a big defenceman. He’s always been a great skater and growing up we used to go skating with him and it ended up being one of our passions. I just thought maybe my kids will be good at it and Madison just took it to right away.”

Dias guided by good genes Continued from A24 Hockey wasn’t the only sport Dias played as his father, Aurelio, played semi-pro soccer in Portugal. While Dias was a good soccer player, he reached a point where he had to make a decision: hockey or soccer. “He started out as the little guy, the runt of the litter,” said Cindy. “He was always smaller than everyone else but he always had that ambition and drive where he wanted to do better. He always wanted to keep up with the bigger guys. He wasn’t afraid to hit the biggest guy on the other team. That hasn’t changed except he’s bigger (fivefoot-11 ½, 172 pounds) now. His passion and desire is still there. I’ve just kind of supported it.” This story is a shining example of Dias’ love for hockey: “One early morning practice and both of us had slept in and it was my duty to wake up at five and I also told him to set his alarm but we both slept in,” she

Canada West teammates Dylan Walchuk of the Vernon Vipers and Madison Diaz of the Victoria Grizzlies have a chat during a practice session at South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton. explained. “It was already 6:20 a.m. and practice was at six. I have never seen that kid scramble and get dressed. Even if it was only 10 minutes he was going to practice. He was so upset with me because I slept in and he was upset at himself. He wasn’t missing practice. He
actually lectured me on that.” Mark MacMillan and Brendan O’Donnell of the Penticton Vees, along with Florida Panthers draft pick Benjamin Gallacher of the AJHL’s Camrose Kodiaks, will be expected to play key roles for Canada West, which has appeared in the final at
all four previous World Junior A Challenges. “Our staff has worked tirelessly to watch players from the five western leagues over the first few months of the season and we are confident we have a good mix of players to help us regain the gold medal,” said Canada West coach
Larry Wintoneak. The tournament starts Monday with Canada West facing Switzerland (7:30 p.m.) and Canada East battling the U.S. (4 p.m.) at the South Okanagan Events Centre. The Vipers, meanwhile, host the Prince George Spruce Kings Saturday night.
Blackhawks zap utility crew Morning Star Staff
The Alexander's Beach Pub Blackhawks used the shootout Wednesday night to stun the Teale Utility Canucks 7-6 in Interior Hockey League action at Wesbild Centre. Jamie Renton and Steve Ensing beat Canuck goalie Steven Clarke as the Hawks won their second game in eight outings. The first-place Canucks fell to 7-0-0-1.

Interim skip sweeps win Morning Star Staff
And then there were none. With skip Jim Cotter away at the Grey Power World Cup of Curling in Windsor, Ont., Aron Herrick stepped up to hand Dave Merklinger his first Baron Insurance Super League loss Wednesday night at the Vernon Curling Club. After blanking the seventh end, Herrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Woodland Equipment foursome delivered a twopoint eighth end to pull off a 7-6 win over the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last undefeated rink. Merklingerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jet Ice (4-1) had a two-point lead after five ends, scoring a deuce in two and a triple in three. Herrick (5-1) countered with a single in one and deuces in three and five. Brad Kuhnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s North Enderby Timber kept pace with Cotter at 5-1 by brushing back T.J. Perepolkin and Canaccord Wealth Management 8-3. Kuhn manufactured an early lead with deuces in the first and third ends and a steal in the fourth. Perepolkin (2-4) pulled within two points with singles in five and six, but Kuhn forced handshakes with a three-pointer in seven. Jenn Gerow came out strong but fizzled late as her Gateway Mechanical crew fell 8-4 to Blake Kimuraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Village Green Hotel. Gerow, now 1-5, opened with a deuce in one, but Kimura, now 2-3, countered with three in two and a single steal in three. Deuces in five and seven sealed the win for Kimura. Ty Griffithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nufloors earned an early night upstairs by ambushing Jeff Richardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s British Columbia Trailer 8-2. After racking up five points in the first two ends, Griffith (4-1) began playing skins with Richard for a jug of beer. The defending B.C. champ (0-6) responded with a deuce in three, only to have Griffith put the game away with a three-point fourth end. Kayla Gunnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Armstrong Inn also came out flying, but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t outlast veteran Wayne Laface and Inspiration Homes. Gunner (1-4) collected two points in the opening end, but Laface (4-1) answered with back-toback deuces in two and three to earn a 9-3 win. Laface made a clutch draw against five Gunner stones in the fifth end and salted the game with a triple in the sixth. â&#x2013; Zetteh Gunner, the younger sister of Kayla, begins Canada Winter Games qualifier play against Nanaimoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kalia Van Osch Saturday at the Vernon Curling Club.

Close to $1 million invested in preventing falls Morning Star Staff
Falls Prevention Week, which runs until Sunday, aims to educate people about the impact of falls and how to avoid them. This year, to reduce the risk of falls in its residential care centres and hospitals, the Interior Health Authority is investing approximately $1 million across the health authority for equipment like hip protectors, non skid socks and high-low beds that can prevent and reduce the impact of falls. Hip fractures are the most common severe injury among older adults and 95 per cent are caused by falls. The consequences of a hip fracture can be serious - 20 per cent of people who suffer a hip fracture die within the year and fewer than 20 per cent regain full functioning and mobility. Hip protectors, garments with protective pads sewn in each side over the hip, can significantly reduce the impact of a fall. “There are also devices that can prevent falls from occurring in the first place,” said Kelly Wilson, falls prevention co-ordinator. “Non-skid socks provide extra grip on slippery floors and can be worn in and out of bed. High-low beds can be raised to allow staff to provide safe patient care, then lowered to allow a safe exit from bed.” Many of the devices being used in health care facilities can be purchased through medical supply companies for home use. If you are interested in having this equipment at home, Wilson recommends talking with your family doctor or health care provider. There are many simple things older adults can do in their homes and community to reduce the risk of falling: Examine your home for hazards such as unsecured rugs, cords, clutter and other things you can trip over; then remove them Add night lights in the hallways and bathrooms Install grab bars and non-slip mats in the bathtub
Ensure that you have sturdy handrails in all stairways Have your vision checked annually
Talk to your pharmacist or physician if medications are making you dizzy Consider strength
and balance training; some recreation centres offer Osteofit programs for older adults at risk of falling
Try low impact exercises such as Tai Chi that focus on balance training “Exercise can be
very beneficial”, saidWilson. “Just remember to check with your doctor before starting any
exercise program.” For more information on preventing falls, visit www.interiorhealth.ca.

Vernon manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tribute to troops is forged into major project involving country musicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Barry Stecyk can still remember the day three years ago that would change his life and his thinking about Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s troops overseas. He had turned on the TV and heard the news about six Canadian soldiers killed when their armoured vehicle struck a roadside bomb west of Kandahar in Afghanistan. It was the highest number of Canadian soldiers killed in one day since the Korean War. The Vernon born and raised entrepreneur, also a registered nurse who runs the family-owned Twin Cedars care home facility in his hometown, had just started a popcorn business with his brother in-law, and was thinking of ways to both market their product and make a difference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was thinking about the guys coming home, and said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;we should do something,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Stecyk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I want to send popcorn to Afghanistanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and started phoning army bases, and the rest, as they say, is history.â&#x20AC;? What started as a kernel of an idea has literally popped, and is now a full-blown project called We Salute Our Heroes, which has found support from the Department of National Defence, EMI Music, Country Music Television, Music B.C. and others, with proceeds going to the Military Family Fund and Boomerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Legacy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canadians are humble people. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear about our own heroes,â&#x20AC;? said Stecyk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been projects (in supporting troops and their families) all over Canada, but to do it successfully you need big national companies and support. A door opened for us through the music system.â&#x20AC;? Stecyk is referring to his latest project, which involves the recording of a song and video, entitled Standing Strong and True (For Tomorrow). The single, which has been receiving national media attention and heavy rotation on country music stations across Canada, features a long list of some of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top country artists including Terri Clark, Michelle Wright, Beverley Mahood, Aaron Pritchett, Crystal Shawanda, Dean Brody, Jaydee Bixby, Emerson Drive, to name a few. Written by Ron Irving, along with Lynda and Tom McKillip, and engineered by Kevin Churko (who has worked with Shania Twainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a proud song because (the military) are proud people. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get away from that fact.

You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get away from that fact. They put their lives on the line for us. Whether you believe in war or not, they are there for us.â&#x20AC;?

This led to a promotion through a major media outlet to feature artists and offer free downloads of their music every week (some of those have included Vernon artists Andrew Allen and Channel Eight.) With this latest project, Stecyk is busy travelling the country, meeting dignitaries and the whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s who of country music. He was in Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Armoury Studios, where the producers laid down the bed tracks for Standing Strong and True, then went to Edmonton in September during the Canadian Country Music Awards to oversee the recording of the single and video with the artists. He also accompanied some of them to CFB Edmonton to film footage with the soldiers, and, of course, he brought along bags of popcorn to hand out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They brought a full tank to the base in Edmonton and we filmed Beverley Mahood and Tara Oram there,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We recorded live and shot the video live at the same time at an old recording studio. It was all put together and also included the Naden Band of Maritime Forces Pacific from Victoria playing the orchestra parts.â&#x20AC;? Stecyk was also in Ottawa, where he met with Gen. Walt Natynczyk, chief of the Canadian Forces, who bestowed him with one of the highest honours to be received by a civilian â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a coin of excellence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He palmed it, and when he shook my hand, he transferred the coin into my palm,â&#x20AC;? said Stecyk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is every bit the gentleman. I mean, what can you say? He wants Canadians to know the good things the troops have done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ever since this started I have a different sense of the military. They are a family that take pride and care. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always had a respect for them, but now I have an understanding. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been humbling.â&#x20AC;? Canadians can show their support by visiting www.wesaluteourheroes.com. The site shows a Canadian soldier placing a knitted cap on an Afghan baby, which is part of the Boomerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Legacy project named after a soldier killed in the war. The site also features a digital memorial wall, where visitors can dedicate a song or message to those soldiers who have made the ultimate sacrifice, and also provides a way to donate to Boomersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Legacy or the Military Family Fund. And on Remembrance Day, Macâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Convenience Stores will salute Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soldiers past and present by giving away a free large bag of HevyDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kettle Korn in all of their stores in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.

Further developing a grassroots connection in Canadian communities, Canadian Tire will launch the Canadian Tire Hockey School NHL Skills Camps. These unique camps will provide Canadian minor hockey players the opportunity to develop and grow their skills through on and off ice skill development sessions led by experienced NHL hockey experts, with appearances by NHL alumni and coaches. In addition to becoming an OfďŹ cial NHL Partner in Canada, Canadian Tire will now be designated as an OfďŹ cial Partner of the NHL Heritage Classicâ&#x201E;˘, NHL All-Star Game, Stanley CupÂŽ Playoffs, Stanley Cup Final and NHL Face-Offâ&#x201E;˘. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Expanding our reach into new categories like this will continue to increase the NHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to reach and unite Canadian hockey fans.â&#x20AC;? Selling more hockey sticks and pucks than any other retailer in the world, Canadian Tire has been the inspiration for millions of hockey ďŹ rsts for players from coast to coast. The CTHS website will offer unparalleled content for Canadian hockey players, parents, coaches and fans. From how to play on a backyard rink or advance in a local house league, to knowing how hockey gear ďŹ ts and what it costs, CTHS will offer unique subject matter expertise and practical insights into how to mentor, parent and become a well-rounded player. CTHS members also will receive exclusive NHL-related offers and promotions, including a chance to win a trip with two tickets and VIP treatment to the NHL All-Star Game, the NHL Heritage Classicâ&#x201E;˘ and a Stanley Cup Final game.

Jack is shadow of former self Morning Star Staff
With a glint of light, a little bluegrass, and the magic of shadow puppetry, a hero from a well-known fable is about to come to life in Vernon. Families with young children will delight in the latest offering by Oregon Shadow Theatre when it returns to town with its new show, Jack and the Dragon, at the Performing Arts Centre Nov. 14. Jack, from the Beanstalk fame, takes on a new adventure in this two-person production featuring colourful hand-crafted puppets and live music. The story is based on an Appalachian fairy tale set around the adventures of young Jack, who is hired by the King to hunt a giant hog and a unicorn –– pesky varmints as far as the King is concerned, says Oregon Shadow Theatre co-founder Mick Doherty, a multiinstrumentalist who performs throughout the production. “Jack is usually a scrawny, young boy without any exemplary power,” he said. “He’s able to succeed –– sometimes through happenstance.” Jack meets all kinds of original characters along the way, from the

King’s daughter to a fellow driving a bicyclepowered magic house. Each character represents a new and exciting twist in the storyline, and children will be swept away in the whirlwind of adventure as they watch as shadow puppeteer Deb Chase gives life to the characters. “We have a lot of humour for both children and adults, so there’s some humour that kids clearly get right away and then there are other jokes that the kids will look around and wonder why the adults are laughing,” said Doherty. “We like to entertain several levels at once.” Doherty and Chase have been involved in theatre and the oldest
form of shadow puppetry throughout their lives and today they bring smiles to faces across the U.S. and Canada in their performances. Known for their beautifully coloured puppets, live music, sound effects and lively good humour, Oregon Shadow Theatre has received the Unima Citation for Excellence in the Art of Puppetry twice.
Their performance features live banjo, hammer dulcimer, Ozark harp, harmonica and sound effects to ignite the storyline. Jack and the Dragon takes the stage Nov. 14 at 2 and 4 p.m. at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. Tickets are $12 for all seats and can be purchased at the Ticket Seller box office in the centre, or call 549-7469, or visit www.ticketseller.ca.

And with 11 of them in action in this, the seventh outing, I think fans of the series will be happy. That is, if they haven’t already bailed. And really, can you blame them? How much innovation can you really squeeze out of a franchise that killed off its bogeyman (Tobin Bell’s Jigsaw) four films ago, yet via flashbacks and the magic of Memorex, the freak’s still around?
And before you even launch into an argument that Jason, Freddy, Mike Meyers and the monster of your choice died many times but still lumbered back to haunt and slice, none of those movies are any good anymore either, so save your breath. But back to Saw 3D, without divulging a bucket of spoilers, a major figure from the past re-emerges, a heap of loose ends are tied up, and we witness something that can only
be described as horrifying. But enough about the acting... I’ll say this much, the atmosphere of Saw 3D, that cold, mucky, unsettling feel, so effective in the first and probably only decent chapter, is back. Not a bad job by director Kevin Greutert. And if it seems like I’m reaching for something good to say, I am. It’s the seventh Saw movie, alright? Sometimes, this job is just plain ugly.

BX elementary school Grade 3 student Liam Cyr learns a thing or two about the old school printing press from Vernon Museum volunteer Bodo Niedballa Friday during a recent field trip to the museum.
It started with Gutenberg CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
“Years and years ago people wanted to have books but how do you think they could get them?” Bodo Niedballa asked a group of Grade 3 BX elementary school students touring the Vernon Museum recently. After a few guesses, the students realized that people had to write books out by hand one at a time before the invention of the printing press in Germany in the 1450s. “A man called Mr. Gutenberg made models of letters from lead and lined the letters up to make words and sentences. Then he put ink on them and rolled a piece of paper over the letter to make as many pages as he wanted,” Niedballa demonstrated. He showed the students a small model
This is Teresa...
of the first printing presses, which were based on grape presses, and a typesetting machine that was used by Wayside Press until 1990 when it was donated to the Vernon Museum.
“I was always reading and I thought that being a typesetter would be a good way to be close to books.” — Bodo Niedballa Niedballa sat down at the keyboard, started typing, and before long, letters on a copper matrix were lining up on a tray where they formed the mould that was filled with molten lead (350 degrees Celsius). The lead bar is placed on a tray,
ink is rolled over it, then paper and there’s the copy. Each student got to run off a copy of the announcement of their visit to take home. “It was really cool,” said Carly Larsen, who was celebrating her eighth birthday at the school outing. Niedballa trained as a typesetter in Germany and started working there in 1951. He came to Canada in 1958 where he worked with the legendary Ma Murray until 1969 when he came to Vernon to work at Wayside Press until his retirement in 1997. “I was always reading and I thought that being a typesetter would be a good way to be close to books. I’m always collecting books. I enjoy showing the students how the old machines work and I think they enjoy it too,” said the Vernon Museum volunteer.
We do it the light way.
Looking to create the perfect mood? A good table or floor lamp can make all the difference and Teresa can help you make the right choice.

ear Annie: My wife and I have been married for 13 years. We have a son we both adore. About five years ago, I made a career switch. It was a tough time for us financially, and it put a strain on our relationship. I thought we were pulling out of it OK, but just as I got my new career going, my wife started to become distant. I immediately asked her to come with me for counseling, and over a seven-month period, we learned to communicate and Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar problem-solve better as a couple. Unfortunately, in every other way, things have gotten worse. My wife resisted the counseling, so we no longer go. She now recoils when I touch her. Last week, after I returned from a conference, she said she discovered that she enjoyed not having me around. I feel trapped. I love her. I love my son. I want to be with both of them as a family. Yet, without my wife’s love, friendship and intimacy, I feel lonely, empty and frustrated. Based on our work in therapy, I’ve tried to take responsibility for things about myself that inhibit intimacy, but it doesn’t help if she won’t cooperate. What else can I do? Is

divorce the only option left? — West Coast Dear West Coast: Too many couples rush into divorce when, in many instances, a little time can resolve the problem or at least clarify the decision that needs to be made. Get a legal separation. Either you or your wife should move into a place nearby so you can spend time with the children and continue to do things as a family, such as celebrate birthdays and holidays together. The other spouse remains in the family home with the children so they are not uprooted. This allows everyone time to adjust and figure out, slowly, whether the arrangement should become permanent or not. Dear Annie: My grandmother lives with my parents. I also live with my parents and pay rent. I once found Grandma looking for her winter nightgown in my bedroom drawers. We do use some of the drawers in my bedroom for storage, but she was systematically looking through every single one. It upset me. My parents sided with my grandmother. I tried to point out that it would be unreasonable for them to go through the drawers of a tenant, but they insist it’s their house and they can look anywhere they like. Annie, I’m not hiding anything, but I would like them to understand the legal ramifications of going through the draw-

The Vernon Learning Disabilities Association presents the Power to Achieve Workshop: Family strategies to Support the Child with LD/ADHD Nov. 15. At the end of the workshop participants will know what LD (learning disabilities) and ADHD are and what they look like, will have learned how to work with the school and teacher and understand the student and his/her educational plan. They will also learn some parenting skills and techniques that can increase their child’s self-esteem and understand the assessment process. They will leave with a toolkit of materials that can be used at home to reinforce what they have learned in the workshop. Learning disabilities can keep people from achieving their chosen potential and create misconceptions and barriers between people. The Learning Disabilities Association of Canada and its member associations across the country work to help people understand learning disabilities and to celebrate the unique achievements and capabilities of people living with learning disabilities. The Vernon Learning Disabilities Association provides a variety of services, including assessment for

ers of someone who is paying rent. — Privacy Advocate Dear Advocate: Do you plan to take Grandma to court? You are a member of the household who contributes for utilities, meals and laundry. That said, no one should be going through your drawers unless they have reason to believe you are hiding illegal substances. Either move Grandma’s stuff out of your bedroom, or start looking for another place to live. Dear Annie: I spent 10 years in college as a student. I now teach at a college and plan to recycle my body to research and organ donation. This is my choice, not that of my relatives. I will give each of them something to remember me by before I die, and if they want to have a service, they may do so. My son will have less to clean up because I will have given most of it away. And sorry, Mom. I know you would prefer to place me in a casket for all to see and then cremate me afterward like you did with Dad. But my choice was made when I registered the donation of my body with www.livingbank.org to be an organ donor. — Recycling Myself Please e-mail your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 5777 W.

How to skydive with the pros There is no experience quite like free-falling 10,000 feet JAMES OSBORNE Special to The Morning Star
The panic lasted a nanosecond. It flashed by when the door of the aircraft slammed open loudly at 10,000 feet. Time for us to jump. The slipstream passing the open door was fierce. My daughter went first. She mouthed an unladylike expletive as she paused at the open door. Then she jumped. She amazed me. Our family had gathered at the airfield an hour ahead of time. Quite a group to witness my 70th birthday “bucket list” jump: four daughters, their families and friends — nine grandchildren and 12 adults in all. Daughter Kim was among them, with her three children. I was at the front desk of Okanagan Skydive in Vernon, signing the usual “my survivors will not sue you” disclaimers and paying the bill, when
she walked up and said: “Dad, what would you think if I jumped, too?” At first I didn’t take her seriously. She had enough on her plate — finalizing a nasty divorce, getting settled in new surroundings, a challenging job and a brand new relationship with a man who was also finalizing an acrimonious divorce. Enough already! I was concerned she might lose her nerve at the last minute and embarrass herself. As it turned out, it would be me who would be embarrassed over the very idea of harboring such a thought about her. That little lady proved to us, and most important to herself, that she’s made of stern stuff. Probably got it from her late mother. So there we were at almost 10,000 feet looking for patches of blue in an otherwise overcast sky when the pilot pops the door. Kim out first. Dad second. By the time I got out Kim was nowhere to be seen. We were freefalling for the first 5,000 feet.
Skydivers in freefall reach terminal velocity in seconds — that’s 124 miles an hour. Falling straight down, the experience is amazing. There’s almost no sense of falling, except for the air rushing past. There are no reference points. No way to gauge your movement up there. No trees or tall buildings or power poles. Nor are there many birds, either, up that high. And looking down from that height gives you almost no sensation that you are rushing toward the ground at 124 miles an hour. The feeling of freedom is exhilarating. Talk about getting high on getting high! There are no apparent encumbrances. Even the cushion of air holding you up — sort of — feels friendly. Gravity seems to be turned off for the moment. Except there’s the reminder from the air rushing by. The view is spectacular. No airplane windows in the way. You can look around 360 degrees at all the magnificent moun-
tains, lakes, rivers, golf courses, towns and farm fields. The roar of the air going past your ears blots out almost all sounds except for itself. I tweak my fingers just slightly. The influence on the rushing air is enough to steer a spin. Tweaking the fingers the other way reverses the spin. Kim’s blue parachute is open below to the left. She’s possibly 1,500 to 2,000 feet away. My bright red parachute snaps open. We’ve fallen 5,000 feet in just a few seconds. I grab the handles of my parachute and turn in a wide sweeping 360-degree circle. Then I pull hard on the left hand and raise the right, swinging back in a huge arc. What an experience. I wouldn’t know until we landed and stumbled around at first that I’d made myself dizzy. With the parachute open, sounds can be heard again. Daughter Kim is screaming with delight. She screams all the way down to a landing precisely on the “X” target

marked on the landing site in white canvas. Unfortunately, she injured her ankle slightly. She was so caught up in the thrill of the experience she forgot the tandem instructor’s directions to raise her feet and look at the horizon while landing. Yeah, we’re novices. We had to jump with an instructor. It was well worth it. They added knowledge and technique to the jump that can only come with experience. The jump may have been on my “bucket list” for my 70th birthday, but skydiving with daughter Kim cranked the thrill of it up a whole bunch of notches. As Kim put it after her jump: “Now there’s nothing I can’t do.” I believe her.

Time change affects people Morning Star Staff
As we get ready to set back our clocks this Saturday night for the end of daylight savings time, ICBC is reminding everyone to take extra care as the time change can affect us all in different ways. “Studies show that the end of daylight savings time can have an impact on the quality of our sleep due
to more nighttime restlessness,” said Dr. John Vavrik, a consulting psychologist with ICBC. “The transition out of DST puts us out of sync with our circadian rhythm and this can pose some dangers on our roads.” The biggest impacts can be felt on some of the key skills that affect the quality of
our driving – poorer concentration, alertness behind the wheel and reaction time to potential hazards. “Part of the problem can be that we anticipate getting an extra hour of sleep on this night but we fail to adapt properly because we overcompensate,” said Vavrik. “We stay out longer, drive home later, so we
actually end up more tired and less alert, particularly at the end of the days following the change when there is suddenly less light.” Preventative steps for the DST time change include planning for extra rest, maintaining regular sleep habits, exercising (even on rainy days) and following a healthy diet.

News Challenges for Canada Post
C
anada Post is a Crown corporation that reports to the minister of state for transportation, infrastructure and communities under Rob Merrifield. Canada Post is not run by the government of Canada, but is directed by a board that is independent from government. Here are some facts about Canada Post: â&#x2013; Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s postage fees are the third lowest in the industrialized world. â&#x2013; Despite our large geographical challenges, we enjoy 96 per cent on-time delivery performance. Colin Mayes â&#x2013; 10.8 billion pieces of mail are delivered annually to 15 million residences â&#x2013; There are 21 major mail processing plants â&#x2013; There is a 7,000-vehicle fleet and 71,000 employees. â&#x2013; In 2009, Canada Post was in its 15th consecutive year of earning a profit. Its annual revenue was $7.3 billion (90 per cent of revenue from businesses), with more than $1.4 billion in federal taxes and $1.1 billion in provincial personal income taxes annually. â&#x2013; In the past 10 years, Canada Post has paid the government of Canada almost $400 million in income taxes and more than $350 million in dividends. Canada Post is experiencing a decrease in revenues ($528 million in 2009) due to Canadian Internet usage and a more competitive market. With 200,000 new addresses added every year, and the decrease in volumes, Canada Post has had to review its operations and determine how to operate in this new market. Management has cut planned operating costs by $540 million in 2009. It eliminated 14 per cent of management positions in 2009-2010; cut discretionary spending (IT, travel, advertising and consulting) and put an increased reliance on subsidiaries for service delivery. Yet with all of these measures, Canada Post needs to do more to compete in the market. Most of Canada Postâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infrastructure is 40 years old and their systems have lagged behind its international competitors in Europe and the U.S, which have undergone major transformations in recent years to realize productivity improvements and cost savings. Canada Post is investing currently $2 billion to modernize its operations. New plants were built in Winnipeg and Vancouver and automated parcel/packet processing in major cities.
MP REPORT
Investments in new generation mail processing equipment will allow Canada Post to further sequence letter delivery. A new delivery model and equipment with fuel-efficient vehicles will support a more efficient and effective delivery service to the customer. Some constituents have told me to support privatizing Canada Post. Do you think a private company is going to provide service to a remote community when it is not a paying proposition? Canada Postâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mandate is to ensure postal delivery to all Canadians. By being a Crown corporation, Canada Post has the ability to be free of political interference and yet operate postal delivery within the policy guidelines of government to provide essential service levels to the Canadian public. Considering all of the challenges, they do a great job.

CLIFFORD AUTOMOTIVE
Horoscope BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL Several fortunate occurrences could be in store for you in the year ahead, but the best ones are likely to come from enterprises you conceive and work hard on to get off the ground. The harder you toil, the luckier you’ll get.
PUZZLE NO. 203
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You couldn’t find a better day to disengage yourself from an unproductive involvement. Once you cut loose, you’ll free yourself up and be able to work on a more profitable endeavor.
ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 203
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Something you’ve been viewing only from an intellectual level can be advanced even further by following a powerful hunch that you can’t ignore.
HOW TO PLAY: Fill-in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once. Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: you must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box. 100224

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) This can be a fortuitous day for launching a new endeavor on which you’ve been working. If you believe you’ve dotted all the “I’s” and crossed all the “T’s” go head and put those wheels into motion. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) A couple of goals concerning a work-related project on which you’ve labored dearly will finally be achieved. Don’t let Lady Luck catch you napping. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Some extremely helpful knowledge can be acquired through everyday life experiences, which is likely to be the case for you at present. It is apt to be some special information that you can use right away. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Although you can be quite successful going it alone, you could also realize your goals by working with someone who is a specialist in the field of endeavor in which you’re embarking.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Right now can be one of new beginnings, which means, among other things, it can be one that restarts a faltering love life. Wily Cupid himself may intervene and get you to begin making up for lost time. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Initiate those constructive changes that you’ve wanted to make in your basic lifestyle, instead of waiting for outside influences to force you into doing so. Get a head start and you’ll be ahead of the game. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your chances for success can be substantially enhanced regarding something new that you’ve been itching to try. The more concise and exacting your plans are, the greater your probabilities for success. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Begin to hoe lots of rows and plant more seeds involving your financial affairs. If you give your efforts plenty of time to mature, they will develop into a harvest you’ll be proud of.

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.

Bridge by Phillip Alder Arthur C. Clarkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst law is: â&#x20AC;&#x153;When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.â&#x20AC;? When a good player goes down in a contract and states that it was possible to make it, he is almost certainly right. When he states it was impossible, he is probably right, but could be wrong. South was in four spades. West led the heart ace and continued with the king. Declarer ruffed and drew two rounds of trumps, getting the bad news. Then he cashed the club ace and played a second club to dummyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s queen. East, though, won
with his king and led another heart. South was doomed. After rufďŹ ng, if he drew trumps before playing a third club, East would cash a couple of hearts. And if declarer immediately played another club, East would win and tap declarer again with a heart, leaving West with one more trump than South. Declarer said four spades was unmakable. Was he right? South might have rebid two spades, but he did have four-card club support. In the end, though, NorthSouth arrived at the right spot. Declarer was wrong. He could have drawn four rounds of trumps, which would have squeezed East. However, even better, South should have
played two rounds of clubs immediately. East would have won and led a heart, but declarer would have ruffed and played a third club. If East persevered with another heart, South would have ruffed it with dummyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spade king, drawn trumps, and claimed.

Dona Onderwater May 1942 - October 2010
Dona had a strong spirit and rose above many hardships, both in her early years and later in life. She loved to travel, and passed the times between visiting friends and family by doing wonderful oil paintings of landscapes. Although in a great deal of pain in her last couple of years from various health problems, she always managed to have a smile for, and inquire after how her friends and family were doing. Left to mourn her passing are her children, Kathy (nee Onderwater) and Gerald Olzsweski, Bernie and Lee-Anne Onderwater, Nancy Onderwater and Don Onderwater, and 7 grandchildren, Nicole, Martin, Penny, Sebastien, Saphira, Chandra, and Chadrack. They are joined in their sadness by Dona’s mother, Florence Barret, and 7 brothers and sisters and extended famiy. A service was held at an earlier date.
