College students take out the trash O LISA VANDERVELDE
Morning Star Staff
kanagan College students persisted through the stink and sticky as they got down and dirty with their campus garbage Wednesday. The Kalamalka campus took part in a trash audit which looks at the garbage produced in a 24-hour period and determines how much of it could be kept out of the landfill. It took two classes 45 minutes and a couple of dry-heaves to sort the garbage into six categories: recyclables, returnables, compost, garbage, paper coffee cups and other (e-waste). The result is shocking: 70 to 80 per cent of the waste collected could have been diverted from the landfill. Shocking but not news to Allisha Luther of GreenStep, the company brought in to lead the audit. According to Luther, Kalamalka is actually a very green campus. “There are very few returnables and the styrofoam is very minimal. It is great to see things like ceramic coffee cups being used and no creamers,” she said. A large part of the campus waste is made up of brown paper towels that can be composted. The brown paper towels have been made of paper that has been recycled so many times it can’t be recycled anymore but breaks down as compost. Eric Reist, general manager of the student association, is excited that some of their waste reduction practices are working. “We had very few returnables in the trash which shows our refund bins have been successful,” he said. Reist is ready to look at the data from the garbage audit so they can find out what they can improve on. “We have a community garden so maybe we can start a composting program. Once we have the information we can start looking at policy changes,” said Reist.

Sewer policies reviewed RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Measures may be taken to extend sewer into more Okanagan Landing neighbourhoods. City of Vernon staff will bring forward a report detailing options to extend sewer to unserviced properties. The report will consider issues such as grant possibilities, time frames, costs and cost recovery. “There are more than 1,000 residences in the city still on septic and most of them are Cunningham in the Landing,� said Coun. Juliette Cunningham. “I hope to get more people
off septic and on to sewer.� While there are sanitary sewer trunk mains along Okanagan Landing, Eastside and Tronson roads, there may be cases where residents aren’t aware of the process that would see them access the service. “If we raise awareness and are realistic with expectations and timelines, people can make decisions,� said Cunningham. But Cunningham isn’t suggesting the city will become responsible for all of the costs of installing sewer. In most cases, that will still be left up to property owners. But she expects costs could be lowered if a new residential development leads to sewer being extended into existing neighbourhoods. “Significant development will occur there.�

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Brad Foster has a vision for his community. The irrigation contractor is an amateur urban designer and he has put together plans he believes can revitalize downtown Vernon. “We can make a centrepiece of downtown. We can get all of the things the city is looking for,” he said. Specifically, Foster has cast his eye towards the Coldstream Hotel parking lot. He envisions a cultural draw with expanded museum and public art gallery facilities, as well as roof-top gardens and residential housing. So interested in the concept, Foster has launched a petition urging the City of Vernon to consolidate cultural amenities at the Coldstream Hotel site. “If I can get a couple of hundred signatures, that’s a bit of a voice,” he said. He calls for redevelopment of the Bennett parking lot on 29th Avenue to include commercial and residential uses. “We could have bistros and shops around that hit with the residential housing. The whole neighbourhood would be cleaned up,” said Foster. His plans also call for a visitors centre in the old packinghouse near Civic Arena and parkades to addressing a lack of parking. Alleys could have gardens and public art. He anticipates

Resident Brad Foster would like to see the former MacDonald packinghouse become a visitors centre. greenspace and denser housing along the creek from 30th Avenue to the Vernon Recreation Complex. Foster has approached the city and other organizations
with his concepts. “I can’t find anyone who wants to work with me. I get nods from the planners but that’s the end of it,” he said. “I get people accepting things but I get no
feedback.” One of the stumbling blocks may be the projected $200 million price tag for his projects. “We’re almost at the end of a bad economic cycle but if we start with planning and building now, it could be another two years and that’s the perfect time. Let’s get going,” he said. “I hope to get a percentage for my work but I love my city and see a lot of potential.” Foster, who has lived in Vernon for nine years, grew up in Coquitlam but camped here in the 1960s. “My heart’s been here since a kid,” he said. “I would like to see it stay small but grow economically and in quality. Look at what Revelstoke did. They got the businesses and planners on the same page and they got it done. That town is a tourist attraction.”

A salute to carriers
I
f you got your paper today, and if you didn’t then I’m kind of talking in the wind here (and that’s the point), you should thank your paperboy or girl as it’s international carrier week. I know the Internet is likely this millennium’s greatest invention (although it’s early still) and it’s put some direct pressure on the last millennium’s greatest invention, the printing press, i.e. in my book that’s newspapers but I may be a little biased, ahem. But, really, I still believe getting a community newspaper, chock full of pictures and news stories, not to mention sports, lifestyles, entertainment, crosswords, horoscopes Glenn Mitchell and more, delivered to your door, complete with flyers so you know what’s on sale, for FREE, is one of the great bargains of this or any other century. What comes to your door these days? Not doctors, not milkmen, not even for many of us the mailman, and if you happen to be one of our readers who has to travel to a blue box to get your paper, hey, it’s still close to home and a pretty good deal. And of course we are able to do this thanks to amazing advertisers and dedicated readers that support us year after year so we can help keep the community informed and, yes, provide a service that not only records history on the run but also hopefully helps the North Okanagan march boldly into the future. Internally it takes a professional and dedicated team of journalists, production specialists, advertising consultants, classified experts, managers, drivers, press plant personnel and more to put out a paper three times a week (not to mention the Internet which requires constant feeding), but it’s all for naught if the carrier doesn’t come through in the end every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. So we salute you all. The boys, girls, parents, seniors, adult carriers who take on numerous
MITCHELL’S MUSINGS
routes, everyone who takes on the challenge of delivering The Morning Star, we honour you this week and every week. Now that’s easy to say, even though I mean it sincerely, but this year some of us management types, and others, put our words into action and took on a route Wednesday. For me it was a trip down memory lane. I delivered The Vancouver Sun for several years in my youth. And that’s when it was an afternoon paper at the Coast but delivered the next morning here in the Interior (boy does that sound ancient). So I dutifully got up, grabbed a quick bowl of cereal and headed out six days a week. I rode my bike from the East Hill to the paper shack, near Civic Arena most of the time, and set out for the Harwood area, and past Butcher Boys on both Silver Star Road and Pleasant Valley Road, and then back to East Hill and home and another bowl of cereal (which I think was me rewarding myself each a.m.). And I only had, like, 30 papers or so. Yes, it was pretty spread out. So I always had to ride my bike, no matter the weather, and did I mention it was delivered the day after publication day, so that included Christmas and New Year’s and every Sunday? Monday was my sleeping-in day. And then there was collecting and all of its challenges.......I better quit before I end up talking about riding uphill both ways and... Anyway Wednesday’s route was a mere 40 papers in a mobile home park in the Landing. So they were close together, no dogs at all, and after dutifully following the list of stops from the circulation manager I was done in no time. Well it probably took 40 minutes or so, and that includes driving to the park when I should have rode my bike, and it was one day I had to get up in the dark, big deal. No hero badges are necessary. However, it did help get me in touch with the carrier’s responsibilities and duties and it felt good to be in on the final and so vitally important job in the newspaper business. So thanks again everyone in the circulation department. And although I never see my own carrier, do know that I’m grateful every time I open my door Wednesday, Friday and Sunday morning.
It’s often said that children are our future, but society isn’t putting its money where its mouth is. The Early Childhood Educators of B.C. are expressing concern about the number of pre-kindergarten children who are not developing adequately because their parents can’t afford to place them in child care. It’s estimated that 36 per cent of North Okanagan children under the age of five are vulnerable in at least one of the following areas: social, emotional, cognitive, communications or physical. The implications from doing nothing are significant for society as a whole. Developmental issues left unaddressed can lead to increased demands on the health care system as the years go by. They can translate into criminal activity and substance abuse. Gaining employment can become a challenge and that places a burden on taxpayers through increased social assistance costs. The ECEBC is advocating for provincial subsidies so full-time child care only costs parents $10 a day per child. Nobody likes paying more taxes and some may even consider the plan a form of communism. But how is child care any different than health care or the public school system? We expect that our tax dollars are going to those services for the betterment of our society. Expanded support for children has been endorsed by theVancouver Board of Trade and some members of Vernon city council have also provided their voice to the effort. Given the economy and B.C.’s financial challenges, no rash decision on spending more money should be made. But it’s definitely time for the government and all British Columbians to enter into a discussion about our future generations.

Ironman fuels pride
A
s a very active individual in the Ironman bid process, I really want to say this. Thank you Ironman for allowing our community to go through this process. Prior to Aug. 27. we never thought we could host an Ironman. In just over a week of working together, we believed we could. Thank you to all of those who gave their support including, volunteers, supporters and businesses. Thank you to the city staff who most definitely burned the midnight oil and learned more about all things Ironman then they ever thought possible, and I am thankful to the mayor and council for seeing the potential of this event. It was a good process and I found it very rewarding. I appreciate where Mr. Rolke was coming from in his column, The Runaround, in the Oct. 3 paper.
FREE ENTERPRISE I'm writing in in response to John Trainor's fear mongering concerning what might happen in B.C. politics. Steve Gunner, a small businessman himself, is certainly not opposed to free enterprise nor is the NDP. The problem is that that expression is used to refer to enterprise that is not free but very much controlled and dominated by multinational corporations whose primary aim is to serve shareholders wherever they live. In this case, so-called free enterprise may not work very well for most British Columbians especially when so-called free trade agreements are more about giving those corporations a free hand to exploit resources and labor. This laissez faire economic theory espoused by the Fraser Institute, and embraced by the B.C. Liberals ,is indeed a doctrine, an ideology, Mr. Trainor. We should not understand Mr. Gunner's remark as a condemnation of free-enterprises such as his farm, Askew's Foods or Canadian Tire, but as a condemnation of the perversion of the word free as it has come to be abused in the language of the prevailing economic
I can see how people may feel hollow but honestly I feel so fulfilled from this
ideology. Howard Brown QUESTIONS ARISE Yes, I feel burned over Ironman. Burned by the various councils and various other parties who had this pipe dream without looking at the hard facts and reality. Lets take the press, i.e. The Morning Star, as the first example. Getting on the hurrah bandwagon instead of getting the facts from the people in Penticton is shoddy journalism. Next, would be city council. Anyone who submits to a tight deadline like the one presented by the World Triathlon Corporation and expects to be able to do due diligence is either very naive or so blinded by dollar signs to be unable to think straight. Then there are the spin doctors, those people who always talk about economic spin-off without actually providing figures from previous events which were also supposed to provide all kinds off spin-off. There appears to be plenty of spin but the spin-offs are missing. The next question is: Will we get an accurate accounting of the cost of this bid?
experience as it proved to me that when people get together, share their knowledge
How many staff hours at X dollars? Supposedly budgets are tight and worthwhile community causes can not be funded. And yet there is money to go on a wild goose chase. Where are the priorities? Yes, I feel burned. Hans-Joerg Mueller IN MEMORY Recently, Terry Fergus was found in Polson Park. He has been referred to in the news reports as, "A man known to police," or "A transient with addiction issues." Since Terry was my roommate and friend, I find this very upsetting. It is as if to say his death doesn't matter, or he just got what he deserved. Terry was born and raised in Enderby, so he was not a transient. Terry's family lives in the immediate area. Can you imagine how it must feel to have your loved one, which you just lost, referred to these classifications constantly on the news reports? To set the record straight, and to show at least a little respect to Terry, his sister, his brothers, his children and his parents, I want to state the following truths.
and work together to a common goal, great things can happen and you can learn from the process. When was the last time we had all of the municipalities agree on something in a week? When was the last time that city council, city staff, businesses, citizens and volunteers rallied around something? We put in a good bid and yes we did not win, but we did get a lot out of going through the process. We shouldn’t feel sorry for ourselves that we didn’t get it, we shouldn’t be bitter towards World Triathlon Corporation and Ironman. I want us to remember this experience for the good things and how we can take those good things and take that energy and use it in other positive ways to support our community and continue to make Vernon a wonderful place to call home. Mel Spooner
Terry was a kind and gentle man. Terry was a loved son and brother. Terry never harmed anyone. Terry was a human being who was taken away too soon. Terry did matter, and he will be missed. May he find peace and comfort in the arms of God. Guy Rutledge GRATEFUL FOR HELP In regards to an accident that happened on Kalamalka Lake Road Sept. 27. I would like to thank everyone who stopped to help me. You were all angels in disguise. Truthfully, I was in total shock and don't know what I would have done without all of you. Thank you to Kyle and the other fellow for helping to direct traffic, thank you to the two sisters who called 911 and helped me out of the vehicle and thank you to anyone else there who I cannot remember or didn't get to meet. Your help was priceless. I will always remember you. Kaylee Juniper THANK YOU Thank you to the honest gentleman, who found my purse in the

Region rounds up styrofoam Morning Star Staff
It’s almost time to get rid of that styrofoam hanging around your house or shed. The Regional District of North Okanagan will host a free Styrofoam Round-Up for residents Oct. 24 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Real Canadian Wholesale Club at 2501 34th St. in Vernon or at the Super A Foods in Lumby. “Staff from RDNO, the Venture Training Centre, and Interior Freight and Bottle Depot will be on hand to answer questions about styrofoam recycling and other waste reduction programs,” said Karmen Morgan, waste reduction co-ordinator. Items made of styrofoam, such as clean egg cartons, meat trays, cups, containers, packing blocks and peanuts will be accepted for recycling. The collected styrofoam will be processed using an expanded polystyrene densification
machine that heats and compresses the styrofoam to produce a dense plastic material. “Styrofoam recycling creates a raw material that can be used to make items such as helmets, bike parts, picture and mirror frames and other hard plastic products,” said Morgan. If residents are unable to attend the round-up event, year-round styrofoam drop-off is available in Vernon at Interior Freight and Bottle Depot at 4205 24th Ave. and at the Venture Training Centre located at 4240 Alexis Park Dr. A $3 per bag handling fee is charged at the drop-off locations which covers the cost of receiving, inspecting, processing, and transporting the collected material. Styrofoam drop-off is also available at the Greater Vernon and Armstrong landfills where regular refuse disposal fees apply.

Safety concerns drop speed limit ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
An Armstrong neighbourhood has been granted its request to slow down traffic along one of its roadways. Residents of Danallanko Drive presented Armstrong council with a 19-signature petition, asking council to reduce the existing speed limit from 50 km/h to 30 km/h, due to the number of young children that play on the street. “In the year-and-a-half we’ve been here, we’ve noticed people – for whatever reason – try to avoid the four-way stop at Rosedale (Avenue) and Okanagan (Street) and they come whipping down our road,” said Jolene Cowden who, along with her husband, Pat, spearheaded the signage request.
“My 10-year-old son said it wasn’t just kids that should be worried but a lot of seniors walk down our road, and he’s right.” — Jolene Cowden “My 10-year-old son said it wasn’t just kids that should be worried but a lot of seniors walk down our road, and he’s right.” Council voted unanimously in favour of the request, much to Cowden’s delight. “We have approved these in the past,” said Coun. John Trainor, part of the city’s public works committee. “Of 29 properties on that road, 19 have signed the petition. That is sufficient for us to send a request to
staff to put signs on the road.” Cowden said it was her son, Zach Seymour, and his friend, Joey Fidler, who took the petition around to all of the homes on Danallanko Drive. “Everybody signed the petition, I just lost the third sheet before I could present it to council,” laughed Cowden. The signs will read “Slow – Children playing – 30 km/h.” Staff will determine the best place to erect the signage.

School enrolment down again Calendar laid out, capital projects identified Morning Star Staff
The numbers are finally in for the North Okanagan-Shuswap School District. The Ministry of Education has verified the Sept. 30 enrolment numbers for kindergarten to Grade 12 as 5,930 students, a drop of 238 from last year at this time. “It would appear that our projected enrolment decline of 225 students was very close,” said Dave Witt, superintendent. Including students in alternate programs, continuing education, and distributed learning, the final head count for all programs came in at 6,093. Witt says the district’s pro-

Yacht club offers holding tank service
Pumpkin Festival Armstrong Fair Grounds ~ 9:00am - 3:00pm
CHILI COOK OFF!
JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Boaters on Okanagan Lake have a free option to dispose of their waste. In an effort to keep the lake clean, the Vernon Yacht Club reminds all boaters that they can clean out their holding tanks for free until Oct. 22. The vacuum pump is located at the yacht club’s dock, near shore, on the side closest to the boat launch. “We want to encourage people to use it so they don’t just pump it into the lake,” said Craig Williams with the VYC. Boaters can pull up alongside the dock, tie up and vacuum out their holding tanks. The waste is then directed into the city’s sewer system. The pump is available until Oct. 22, at which time it will be shut down for winter. The club recently purchased the new pump, with the help of the Regional District of North Okanagan. There used to be a minimum $1 fee to use the club’s old pump, but thanks to the support of the regional district, all boaters can now access the pump for free. “They don’t have to be a member of the yacht club, anybody is welcome to use it,” said Williams.

SilverBacks upend Snakes in OT Morning Star Staff

Vernon Vipers’ defenceman Ryan Renz wheels behind his net while being pursued by Salmon Arm SilverBacks’ forward Carter Lukenda in B.C. Hockey League action Friday night at the Shaw Centre. The SilverBacks grounded the Vipers 3-2 in overtime. a goal-mouth scramble in front of Clark. The Vernon product got in behind the towering keeper to tuck home a loose puck at 8:50. Hanna equalized for the Backs on a third-period powerplay after second-year forward Chris Gillies, a Vernon native, knocked a puck loose in front of Smith. Aaron Hadley (6th) restored the Viper lead just as a Vernon powerplay expired. The power forward circled from behind the net to beat Clark, top shelf, from the slot.
Eviston and Marc Hetnik drew the helpers. ■ The league-leading Penticton Vees had their six-game win streak snapped in a 3-2 OT loss to the host Victoria Grizzlies Friday night at Bear Mountain Arena. Each team converted twice in period one – Michael Rebry and Wade Murphy for the 9-1-0-1 Vees, and Myles Powell and Blake Thompson for the 7-4-0-1 Grizz. Myles Fitzgerald collected the winner 2:34 in to double-OT. In other Interior action, the West

The Vernon Vipers came within 10 seconds of a much-needed pair of B.C. Hockey League points. Instead, they settled for one as the host Salmon Arm SilverBacks ambushed them with a late equalizer and pulled out a 3-2 win in double-overtime Friday night at the Shaw Centre. With the Vipers up by a goal with 10 seconds to play, they lost a key defensive faceoff, which led to first star defenceman Shane Hanna’s fourth goal of the season, and second of the night, after a scramble in front of netminder Austin Smith. Salmon Arm keeper Adam Clark (31 saves), who seems to have the Vipers’ number this season, was pulled for an extra attacker. Smith had 28 saves for Vernon. “Whether it’s the first shift of last shift, you need to be prepared to play,” said a disappointed Vernon Vipers’ head coach Jason Williamson. “We needed to win a faceoff there and we don’t and it ends up in the back of our net. We’ve got to lock guys down in front of the net.” Vernon generated several chances in OT, and after Viper forward Pearce Eviston was hauled down as he raced for a loose puck (and would have had a clear line on net), the SilverBacks came the other way and Jason Trott (4th goal) buried the rebound off Hanna’s shot in front of nearly 1,000 fans. It is the third OT loss for the Snakes (3-40-3) in just 10 regular-season games, and it has them tied with Salmon Arm (4-5-0-1) for last place in the Interior Division. Vernon visited the 6-2-1-1 Chilliwack Chiefs Saturday night at Prospera Centre. “We were probably the better team, but their goalie played well and made some key stops on us,” said Williamson. “That’s a strong point on their team and we knew that going in. You just can’t let a good goalie beat you.” Colton Sparrow (4th), assisted by Brendan Persley and TJ Dumonceaux, opened the scoring in the second period on

Braydie Allan-Webber scored twice, including an empty-netter, as Stevenson Mechanical Blues bounced Bannister GM Flames 5-3 in Pee Wee Super League play Friday at Priest Valley Arena. Kael Black scored the winner on a breakaway with 60 seconds remaining, the assist going to Halle Higgins-Wilson in the season opener for both teams. Cody Webb and Reid Lawrence also scored for the Blues, who got solid goaltending from Dylan Blazek and Sam Knox. Carly Southam, Carter Morris and Nick Mitchell countered for the Flames.

The Fulton Maroons came from behind to shade the Seaton Sonics 3-2 in North Zone Senior AA Boys Soccer League action Thursday at Marshall Field. Fulton looked sluggish at the start with a few scoring chances, and Seaton took the lead when Noa Acri converted after a poor clearance out of the Fulton penalty area. Ko Kameyama pulled Fulton equal with a rocket from 20 yards. The game was a see-saw battle and Mathieu Wouters put Fulton ahead early in the second half after a long punt by Fulton keeper Luis Lins. Seaton was awarded a penalty minutes later, but the shot went wide off the post. The Sonics fought back to tie the game shortly after on another Acri goal. Wouters put Fulton ahead with 10 minutes remaining to keep the Maroons’ undefeated run intact. “Unfortunately it was Mathieu’s final game for us,” said Fulton head coach Wayne Aasen. “He is returning to Belgium this weekend. We will miss his scoring ability. It is a blow for us, but will give other players the chance to step up.” Seaton head coach Sarah Kwantes praised her crew for a stellar showing. “The boys played a great game,” said Kwantes. “With only two subs, they ran hard and had some great scoring chances, but in the end they were their own worst enemy due to their lack of communication on the field.”

The first period may have been a treat for 230 Kootenay International Junior Hockey League fans Friday night, but not for North Okanagan Knights’ head coach Kris Mallette. He watched as the Knights abandoned their systems and tried to run-and-gun with the Sicamous Eagles in a seven-goal first period at Nor-Val Sports Centre, eventually falling 5-4 to end a six-game win streak. The teams tangled again Saturday night at the Sicamous Recreation Complex. “It shows Dustin Nikkel is human; four goals on 10 shots is very uncharacteristic of him,” said Mallette. “In his defence, we did a lot of standing around. “It was probably entertaining for the fans, but as a I coach I was disappointed how we played that first period.” Morgan Johnston, Tanner Burns and Colton Thibault clicked for the 7-2-0-1 Knights in the opening frame. Corbin Marcotte, Steven Powers, Matt Read and Kelyn Opel scored for the 6-0-0-2
Eagles. Read’s and Opel’s goals came just five seconds apart. Mallette said the majority of the Sicamous goals resulted from neutral zone turnovers. “It was just mental breakdowns on our part.” The Knights equalized 1:20 into the second period on an Eagles’ own goal when a defenceman attempted to pass behind his net and instead banked it off goalie Kris Joyce’s pad and in (Knights’ forward Mat Lambert got the credit). Opel netted the winner with six minutes left in regulation. “We responded better (in the second period), but it’s too little too late,” said Mallette. “I hope it humbles them and we come out to play (Saturday night). “When we’re playing the right way, there’s not too many teams that can compete with us.” Zack Dueck was solid in relief of Nikkel after taking over midway through the first period. He allowed one goal on 36 shots. Joyce (23 saves) also relieved Eagles’ starter Jack Surgenor (five saves) in the opening frame.

Lakers fend off Vikings Morning Star Staff
The Kalamalka Lakers built a first-half lead and hung on for a 14-8 win over the host Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops Friday night in Okanagan AA varsity football action. “It wasn’t pretty, but a win is a win,” said Kal head coach Brad Yamaoka. Kal jumped out to a 14-0 lead before halftime. Brendan Squair connected with Evan Patommel on 15- and five-yard touchdown strikes. Missing their starting tailback and defensive end, Yamaoka credited the rest of the team for getting the job done. Robby Filice had another strong game, carrying the ball 17 times for 106 yards. He added 10 tackles on defence. Chris Leverman contributed 13 tackles, a sack and forced fumble. Karson Patommel added eight tackles and another forced fumble. Valleyview pushed the ball deep into Kal territory late in the game and threatened to push the ball over the goaline, but ran out of time. “It was another hard fought game that either side could have won,” said Yamaoka. “In the long run, we made less mistakes than they did.” Meanwhile, in junior varsity action Wednesday, the Vernon Panthers cruised to a 40-12 win over the Okanagan Mission Huskies. Levi Nicholas scored on a five-yard run on the opening drive, and quarterback John Garvie followed that with a 10-yard scamper to put the Cats
up 12-0 in the first quarter. Mission cut the lead to six, but Nicholas replied with a one-yard plunge to restore it. “Our offensive line set the tone early by opening up some interior holes,” said Panthers’ head coach Sean Smith. “Once we established the inside run game, it forced them to adjust, opening up our passing and outside run game.” The Huskies put together a 10-play, 70-yard drive to open the second half. Vernon appeared to have scored on a fourth-and-inches QB sneak, only to have the call overturned by the head official. “I think that call fired up our team as we responded with 22 points in the final 14 minutes,” said Smith. After a 14-yard TD run by Garvie, receiver Kyle Ryarder hauled in a 30-yard bomb at the goal line. To end the game, Nicholas took a punt return 40 yards before flipping it to Garvie who took it the final five. “Kyle Ryarder (three receptions for 63yards) had a great game for us today and added another element to our offence. Justin Haverkamp (six tackles) was our defensive MVP and was all over the field making plays. “It was great to see those boys have breakthrough games as they have been working their tails off in practice.” The Panthers host the Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops Wednesday, 3 p.m. at Grahame Park.

One of specific concern, says Krank, is the interference drug use can play in a youth’s development as they are physically and mentally emerging from childhood to adolescence.
Star backs campaign Morning Star Staff
Silver Star Mountain Resort hopes a provincial strategy will lead to busier slopes. A new marketing campaign aimed at attracting long-haul vacationers to B.C. ski resorts has been launched in Toronto. “Silver Star has always worked closely with B.C.’s mountain resort industry to raise awareness of our outstanding snow experience but the new Ski it to Believe It program has taken this cooperation to a whole new level,” said Marke Dickson, Silver Star’s director of sales and marketing. “We’ve put together a really eye-catching and innovative program that will place Silver Star and our partners top of mind in Ontario, Alberta, Washington State and California.” Online banners connect potential visitors with a microsite (www. skiittobelieveit.com). It showcases B.C.’s 13 ski resorts including special offers and snow conditions.
Visitors can sign up to receive an electronic version of the B.C. Ski Guide and enter a contest to win a $15,000 ski vacation. “The campaign will bring more skiers and riders to the Okanagan Valley,” said Dickson. “The benefits of this will be felt through the entire business community.” The campaign runs
until March 2013 and has a budget of $1.55 million. “We are proud to support one of B.C.’s most prominent tourism sectors - our worldrenowned ski resorts,” said Pat Bell, B.C.’s jobs minister. “I am confident that this year’s marketing campaign will build on the success we’ve had in recent years.”

He points to evidence which shows that kids raised in a nurturing environment may try some drugs but are not likely to get involved in them. Despite a parent’s own concerns, Krank advises not bombarding kids with ‘drug talks,’ but to wait until the topic comes up. “When you do see an interest in those things, that’s a teachable moment.” Wednesday’s presentation is free and open to all members of the public.

“Teens are not just smaller adults,” he said. During this time of increased independence and exploration parent involvement matters.

Residents and municipalities have another resource when it comes to conserving water. The Okanagan Basin Water Board has released a topsoil bylaws toolkit. “Topsoil is not the first thing that comes to people’s minds when we talk about water conservation but it’s the soil that holds the water,” explained Anna Warwick Sears, executive director of the OBWB. “’We’ve all seen what happens when lawns are rolled out over bare gravel or clay. Residents end up using tremendous amounts of high-quality drinking water on their lawn to keep the grass green. Good soil increases water retention and is an effective tool to manage rainwater and reduce water pollution.”

The guide was a joint effort of the OBWB and the Water Sustainability Partnership. The partnership brought expertise in water, soil, and the experiences of local governments in the Lower Mainland. A legal expert developed the policy guidelines and examples. “With expected population growth and as our climate becomes more variable – with more frequent, heavier storms and longer, hotter drought, wise rainwater management becomes even more important,” said Warwick Sears. “A well-designed landscape with healthy topsoil helps communities through both wet and dry times. Changes are needed. This toolkit can help communities get there.” The topsoil bylaws toolkit can be found at www. obwb.ca.

With a shovel in hand, Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid joined health and community representatives Friday to celebrate the start of construction on the new Interior Heart and Surgical Centre. The ceremony also marks the start of demolition of the vacant Pandosy building, which is needed to make way for the 14,000-square-metre heart and surgical centre. “Our government is bringing cardiac care closer to home for Interior patients and their families,” said MacDiarmid. “This new facility will house the Interior cardiac revascularization program, as well as a new surgical suite and support services.” When the Interior Heart and Surgical Centre building opens to patients in mid 2015, it will be the province’s
fifth cardiac critical care centre and the first outside the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. The new building will provide a permanent location for cardiac-surgical services and programs at Kelowna General Hospital. The Interior Heart and Surgical Centre building will have state-of-the-art surgical facilities, a medical device reprocessing department, cardiac intensive care unit and post-operative recovery area. The total cost of the Interior Heart and Surgical Centre project is $367 million, with $70.7 million from the Central Okanagan Regional Hospital District. The cost of the Interior Heart and Surgical Centre surgical building component is $169.1 million.

Meet Mr. Gus
T
he ball is the only thing he has eyes for. He delights in trying to convince you to throw it for him at every opportunity that presents itself. You can be sitting down enjoying the sun and the ball is presented with great expectation and much anticipation. A lovely slimey tennis ball is gently laid to rest at your feet. Or if that doesn’t work, it will be dropped directly into your lap. He is so proud of it and you can tell by the look on his face that he just knows you will be enticed into his world of play. So, the presenter (a tall and gangly fellow with four legs and the loveliest face this side of the mountains) paws it back and forth as if to make it look even more enticing. “See how it rolls so easily, it’s great isn’t it? Wouldn’t it be fun to play?� His outright glee with the
idea is contagious. This is followed by ‘the look’. He stops and his face scrunches in eager anticipation with the hopes that you will agree with him. His scrunched up face says‌‌. “awww c’mon, play with me‌.. throw the ball‌‌.. Carole Fawcett it’ll be fun. Really. Honestly. Puhleeeeeeeeeeeeese.â€? His name is Gus and he knows how to have fun. He loves it in fact‌..nothing makes him happier if he can convince you to throw the ball for him. He’s a genius at it and can read human body language better than any psychologist. He probably weighs in at 60 pounds and my pooch weighs in at 17 pounds – but yet he is patient when she steals his ball and wants to immediately go inside with it (where he isn’t allowed). I think he is

smitten with her. He’s a tall patient fellow and kinda handsome; she’s a small fluffy girl who is very cute and coy. He wants to play, but she takes the ball business more seriously. She’s got ‘playing hard to get’ down to a science. That’s how it is in life too isn’t it? Some of us go through life with a more playful, easy going attitude and some of us are more serious holding on to ‘old emotional stuff ’. Of course studies have shown that if you have the right attitude, it is less likely you will get sick, suffer from depression or have other health issues. October’s Psychology Today magazine is now quoting studies that state that it is more important to live your life in balance in all aspects. There is also a wonderful article called “Life Lessons� (by Elizabeth Svoboda) and they list “five truths that people learn too late�. “Lesson #1 – Radical Acceptance (you can’t
fix the ones you love, focus on fixing yourself) Lesson #2 – The beauty of benign neglect (It’s more harmful to over-parent than to under-parent) Lesson #3 – Opposites Don’t Attract (Seek a mate whose values and background echo your own) Lesson #4 – Social Networks Matter (The strength of your friendships is as critical for your health as the lifestyle choices you make) Lesson #5 – Lust Diminishes, But Love Remains (Being inured to your partner isn’t the same as being out of love)â€? I would add a sixth. Lesson #6 – Having a pet is of therapeutic benefit and can help you to slow down, turn off technology and just ‘be’ with an animal‌‌.enjoying the antics, the unconditional love and the fun that they bring. When Gus and others like him bring you the ball, they are really bringing you joy and your soul fills with
Dine and save during power month Morning Star Staff
B.C. Hydro is partnering with the Fresh Outlook Foundation for the fourth annual Candlelight Conservation Dinner Oct. 25. In Vernon, Crush and the Italian Kitchen Co. are dimming their lights to raise awareness of energy conservation. Participating restaurants are offering exclusive discounts and special offers for one night only. Offers range from a free appetizer to twofor-one entrĂŠes. Every year during October, Power Smart Month, Rich Coleman B.C. Hydro shows British Columbians how easy it is to make smart energy use choices and save money on monthly electricity bills. B.C. Hydro provides increased rebates and incentives to help encourage energy conservation throughout the year. “The Candlelight Conservation Dinner gives British Columbians an opportunity to see how simple it is to make small changes, like turning down the lights, to conserve power,â€? said Rich Coleman, energy minister. “Since 2008 B.C. Hydro has saved 3,400 gigawatt hours a year in electricity through conservation — enough to power 309,000 B.C. homes.â€? More than 90 restaurants in 10 communities across the province are offering discounts and dimming their lights to raise awareness of energy conservation in October. “The annual Candlelight Conservation Dinner
for Power Smart Month is my favourite event to show how easy it is to be smart with power,� said Lisa Coltart, executive director of Power Smart and customer care. “Making simple behaviours, like turning off your lights when not in use, a habit can add up to significant energy savings for your home, community and the province.�

Sept. 1, 2012. They were married Sept. 1, 1962, in the United Church on Victoria Drive in Vancouver, B.C. Bonnie and Cal Dauncey have filled their 50 years of marriage with family, love and togetherness. They have four children — Lorri (Jim), Leisa (Lance), Keith (Angie) and Carolyn (Mike) — and 10 grandchildren — Alexandra, Victoria, Chloe, Ethan, Kieran, Paige, Ty, Colby, Ashton and Emersyn. It was evident from the start — right from their first date (and predicted by Uncle Morris!) — that Bonnie and Cal were meant to marry and build a life together. During their engagement, Cal worked in Nelson to gain a footing in the insurance industry and Bonnie completed her training to become a registered psychiatric nurse. After getting married, Cal continued building a career in insurance, working for the last number of years prior to his retire-

anada is a generous country to those wanting to immigrate and call Canada their home. Unfortunately, our generosity has been abused by some who have made false claims regarding residency and false statements on their application form. Minister Jason Kenney has announced that our government is investigating residence fraud with nearly 11,000 individuals potentially implicated in applying for citizenship or maintaining permanent resident status illegitimately. Colin Mayes The minister also announced that the government has begun the process of revoking the citizenship of up to 3,100 citizens who obtained it fraudulently. In most cases, suspects will use deceitful immigration representatives to fraudulently create evidence of living in Canada while actually living overseas.

can fraudulently maintain their permanent residence status and later apply for citizenship. This fraud hurts all Canadians.Those who illegitimately obtain permanent residence or citizenship status have access to taxpayer subsidized education, health care, and other social benefits without ever contributing as a taxpayer themselves. It also hurts the majority of immigrants who come to Canada, who follow the rules with honesty and integrity. Minister Kenney has said “Canadian citizenship is not for sale.” Since the immigration fraud crackdown was launched, 600 former permanent residents have either been removed or denied admittance to Canada. Another 500 permanent residents have had their citizenship applications denied. The minister encourages anyone who has information regarding citizenship fraud to call our tip line at 1-888-242-2100, or via email at mailto:Citizenship-fraud-tips@cic.gc.ca Your government promised to clean-up the abuses of our immigration policies.

Starting next month, passengers arriving at Kelowna International Airport from the U.S. and Mexico should sail through customs, pick up their bags and be on their way a whole lot quicker. Thanks to the airport’s latest addition, a new 600-square-metre international arrivals hall, most passengers arriving from across the border can expect to cut their waiting time at YLW by as much as 30 minutes, says airport director Sam Samaddar. “Now you will arrive, be interviewed by a customs officer and your bags will be waiting for you when you’re done.” Currently, passengers have to wait for their bags before talking to a customs officer and that wait can be 20 to 30 minutes. The new international arrivals hall, which will be controlled by the Canadian Border Services Agency, has been added as part of the airport’s overall preparations for handling an estimated total of 1.6 million passengers per year starting in 2015. The addition completes the $11.3 million first phase of the $50 million, multi-phase, multi-year project. The work is being paid for by money raised through the airport’s improvement fee. The second phase, to begin next year, will improve the airport’s international outbound baggage system to conform to U.S. standards. It will allow passengers to pick up bags from Kelowna to be checked through to their final U.S. destina-
“Now, you will arrive, be interviewed by a customs officer and your bags will be waiting for you.” — Sam Samaddar tions on connecting flights using Seattle or, as of December, Los Angeles, will cost $22 million. The arrivals hall will have enough space to process up to 250 passengers. It will streamline the passenger processing experience by allowing the traveller to complete the customs processing prior to retrieving their baggage, resulting in a more efficient and quicker customs experience, said Samaddar. The airport, which saw 1.4 million passenger pass through its terminal last year, and was the 10th busiest airport in the country, included 79,000 arriving passengers from outside Canada. Testing of the hall will start on international inbound passengers for selected flights next week and it is expected to be complete next month as the winter schedule begins. Flights from Mexico, Phoenix, Los Angeles and Las Vegas, in addition to the year-round service from Seattle and Los Angeles (starting Dec. 19), will all be processed through the new facility.

Each week we sign up for roles such as Greeter, Timer, Grammarian, Humourist, Chairperson and more. During the “Table Topics” segment

of the meeting, members are given the opportunity to respond to a question on the spot. A new member might respond in less than 30 seconds but as their confidence grows so does the length of the reply. Within a few months I completed my first speech, which was the hardest but most exhilarating. The feedback was very positive, yet constructive, and I was motivated to move on to my next speech. The skills we build on are outlined in our manuals but the speech topics themselves are the choice of the speaker. I am now working on my fourth of 10 primary speeches and will then earn my “Competent Communicator”designation. I am most impressed with how quickly my confidence has grown. This is a huge asset in life, anywhere you go. For me, Toastmasters has become an addiction of sorts although not one I will ever regret. Guests are most welcome and I hope to see you there!

While her new clinic keeps her busy, audiologist Tosha Hodgson has found the time to both educate and give back to the community. Hodgson opened Rockwell Audiology last year in downtown Vernon and has made herself available to a variety of audiences in the community, striving to create an environment that encourages people to feel comfortable asking questions. “Unfortunately, stigmas about hearing loss still exist so it’s important to break those barriers and get people asking questions so answers are personally meaningful and so we can all learn from each other,” said Hodgson, who is also a hearing instrument practitioner. In May, she launched a hearing aid loaner program for seniors, the Rockwell Audiology Instrument Loaner Program (RAIL). “With the support of the Seniors Information and Resource Bureau (SIRB), the North Okanagan Falls Prevention program and generous donations of hearing aids from people
in our community, we are now able to assist hardof-hearing low-income seniors get their hearing back on track.” Hodgson gives credit to Morning Star seniors’ columnist Pat Black, who recently retired as coordinator of the Falls Prevention Program, and Dayle Drury, SIRB manager, who both
approached her with the aid-loaner concept. RAIL relies on donated behind-the-ear hearing aids which Hodgson refurbishes then provides to applicants who meet the criteria of the program. “It’s been great to see the community give and even better to pass those donations on to
people who need them, right here at home. “I’ve had the privilege of connecting with some incredibly caring and hard-working people in this community, many of them volunteers.” Hodgson celebrates her clinic’s first birthday by holding events throughout October,
including a “Tech-it Out” workshop, Healthy Hearing Bingo supporting the local food bank, patient appreciation day and an open house. For more information about the hearing aid loaner program, please call Hodgson at 250-545-2266 or e-mail info@rockwellaudiology.ca

Twins do a triple take with novels Writing comes naturally for Coldstream-based le Roux sisters, who have published one book, with two more on the way KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
At age 12, identical twins Brianna and Brittany Winner of Orange County, Calif. completed their first novel. The Strand Prophecy was the start of four award-winning novels for the girls, who would also go on to write a screenplay, a comic book, and a guide to writing –– all before graduating high school. And they are not alone. Identical twins Dané and Julie le Roux, 17, of Coldstream, already have one published novel, which, coincidently, they also started at the age of 12, and they have two more on the way. For the girls, writing comes as natural as does completing each other’s sentences –– which they do when you talk to them. It’s also that way when they map out their stories. Julie always begins, and Dané always writes the end. “We always have to know how we’re going to end the story when we write a book,” said Dané. Now in Grade 12 at Kalamalka Secondary School, the sisters’ first book, The Watching, a horror mystery geared for youth ages 12 and 13, follows two friends, who after hearing a ghost story, are faced with the feeling that someone is watching them. To start The Watching, Julie wrote the first few chapters with whatever came to her mind. “I would look at what she wrote and would say, ‘I could work with this,’ and I’d add my part,” said Dané, adding, “That first sentence Julie wrote stayed the same from the first time she wrote it out to the published book.” The girls have always been close. They have done well at school and
are both artistic, says their mom Lynette, adding Dané has an interest in painting, while Julie can always be found writing away in her journal “They used to draw pictures like comic strips when they were young,” said Lynette. “Their grandmother was also that way. She would send poems and writing to be published in South Africa.” It was 13 years ago that Lynette and her husband, Dr. Kobus le Roux, moved their family, including five children, from the diamond mining town of Kimberly in the Northern Cape of South Africa to Canada. Dr. le Roux took up a practice in Maple Creek, Sask. and the family lived there for nine years before coming to the Okanagan. “When we arrived, we didn’t know anyone,” said Dané. “We had started our first book in Saskatchewan... We moved here in the summer, and we were not in school making friends, so (writing) gave us something to do.” “It was also hard to start at a new school. We missed our friends, so we wrote and wrote and wrote,” added Julie. Because they were busy adjusting to their new community, the completed version of The Watching didn’t come out until the girls were 16. It was Lynette who looked for a publisher on the Internet, and iUniverse out of Indiana expressed interest. “They had actually heard about us and pursued us for the book,” she said. “There are few books out there for young teenagers... The editor was harsh. He pushed them.” “There were things like getting the dates and times correct, such as if a telephone was around in that era,” said Dané. “They had some good ideas, and would say ‘fix this; think that.’”

Twins Julie (left) and Dané le Roux, of Coldstream, have published their first book The Watching, and are currently working on their third, a legend on how greed can consume people. “They also let us send in some ideas for the cover,” said Julie, adding “I look back on when we wrote it.. We were so young. I don’t know how I feel about it now.” However, both agree the lessons they learned from their first novel helped them with their second and third books. Together, the twins filled notebooks with details such as character description, relationships, even adding symbols. Everything was written out in point form, said Julie. “I usually write out four points and then Dané writes another four points; that way we always know what the other person is going to write.”
The twins’ second effort, entitled Dream with Me, is now finished. It’s a mystery that follows a young girl who wakes up from a horse riding accident alone and unsure of her surroundings. The book is loosely based on a Saskatchewan trick rider, who died after a horseriding accident. “The book is quite sad. It makes you think about life after death and even about life if you don’t die,” said Lynette, adding the book is ready for publication, “We’re just looking for an editor.” Meanwhile, the twins’ third book, a drama called Liquid Ice: The Legend, is almost done. “It’s a legend on how greed consumes people. It’s set in the

present but also goes into the past,” said Julie, adding she and her sister like to leave a lot of room for the imagination using foreshadowing. And the future looks bright as the twins prepare to graduate in the coming year, and are applying for district scholarships. The girls are looking forward to their first local book signing when they join fellow local writer Sarah Gabriel, who recently published her memoir, My Resilience, at Coles book store in the Village Green Centre Nov. 17 from 1 to 4 p.m. The Watching is available in paperback and as an e-book through the Internet. Those interested in more information can contact the twins via email at d.j.leroux@hotmail.com.

A master songwriter and storyteller, O’Donovan’s poignant lyrics and distinctive voice often draw comparisons to early Tom Waits, although he has his own distinct style. “Although comparisons to Tom Waits can be made, O’Donovan has a unique voice, and is emerging as an internationally-recognized songwriter and equally skilled as a musician,” said Barry “Jack” Jenkins, with What’s Up Yukon. Recently, O’Donovan
won the blues category of the West Coast Songwriters International S o n g w r i t i n g Competition for Cheap Souvenir, a song from the CD. O’Donovan’s talents as an energetic and accomplished pianist are also highlighted on the disc. O’Donovan plays Lorenzo’s, located at 901 Mabel Lake Rd. east of Enderby, Friday at 8 p.m. Cover is $10.

Theatre camp to result in Grinch Morning Star Staff
As a way to kick off the fall/winter season, The Hub Arts Collective is hosting a 10-week musical theatre production program for elementary school-aged children ages six to 13. The camp will culminate in a presentation of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas on Dec. 20 and 21. Those kids registered will meet at The Hub twice a week leading up to the production, where they will learn the ins-and-outs of being part of a musical production, said Matt Brown, Hub owner, and an awardwinning director and actor. “They will be encouraged to explore the realms of singing, dancing and acting in a rounded theatrical experience suited to their individual learning and comfort level, with the chance to perform a much-loved Christmas classic in front of a live audience,” he said. Students will also be encouraged to engage in the technical aspects of musical theatre, in the form of costuming, props and set-design/decor. The Hub Arts Collective opened downtown in January of this year and
acts as an all-ages rehearsal studio, live venue and art exhibit centre. “It is composed of professionals who have been intimately involved with the arts and entertainment industries collaborating with experienced local artists and educators to offer a diverse array of programs and shows,” said Brown, adding, “The Hub strives to offer children and youth an unconventional and engaging educational experience, and understands the uniqueness from which talent and individual styles of exploration arise.” The Hub’s musical theatre program is set to start on Oct. 23, and will run for 10 weeks on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets for December’s The Grinch who Stole Christmas will be made available in November. For information regarding registration and fees for this or other programs offered by The Hub Arts Collective, contact info@thehubartscollective.com, 778-475-6244 or visit www.thehubartscollective.com. The Hub is located at 2906-30th Ave., next to the Vernon Towne Cinema.

n the first Taken movie Liam Neeson was a retired CIA man with “a particular skill set” whose daughter was kidnapped by some nasty Albanians. Ultimately, these baddies would end up with a bad case of death by his hand. It was a basic tale of revenge and it was at least somewhat satisfying. In Taken 2, the tables are turned. Neeson takes his ex-wife and daughTaylor & Howe ter to Istanbul, (because he likes to live dangerously we presume), and it isn’t too long before he and his ex-wife are kidnapped by those seeking to avenge the sons or brothers who died in the first film. We say, “The first wasn’t that good and it was better than this.” TAYLOR: Without the extraction of revenge, this film is far less satisfying than the original. Taken 2 is not completely without merit, however, it felt very much like the director was compensating for Neeson going through the paces. HOWE: Yeah, I know what you mean. The fight scenes were filmed with a frantic pace to them, cut up into so many little bits that you couldn’t see what Neeson was doing to kick these guy’s butts. We’ve seen this done many times in movies to make you feel part of the film, but Taken 2 is done all wrong. Terrible. TAYLOR: As this movie is all about action fighting, its failure is disappointing. This is par for the course for director Olivier Megaton (the name says it all). He makes disposable films about people who like kicking butt. (Transporter 3, Columbiana.) He’s not nearly as cool as

he thinks he is. And Liam Neeson is getting a little long in the tooth for such roles. He just turned 60. HOWE: Well, that’s probably why Taken 2 only got a PG rating, so Mr. Megaton can be cool for the younger audience that go to watch it. TAYLOR: On the plus side, the film was shot in Turkey so there are lots of chase scenes through dirty alleyways and over-cramped rooftops. You can almost smell the goats. HOWE: It’s a turkey in Turkey! I was talking to the girl at the bank who had been to see it. She said she lived in Istanbul for a while, and she was saying that where the alleyway shots were taken when getting chased to the U.S. Embassy, are two completely different locations. Is that another mistake on the movie makers’ part? TAYLOR: No. Movies are always cheating like that. We just shot a battle scene in Armstrong

that takes place in the Yukon. The two are completely dissimilar. People automatically suspend their disbelief once they sit in front of the silver screen. Taken 2 is not particularly hard to swallow, it just has no nutritional value. Megaton movies are the fast food of action flicks. This one is no different. If you thought the first Taken was awesome, then you’ll only be slightly disappointed by 2. If you thought the first Taken was merely okay, go see Looper instead. –– Taylor gives Taken 2 two takes out of five. –– Howe gives it one and one half missed phone calls out of five. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon. KEN SMEDLEY presents

Capsule Comments with
MARCIA BELEY In 1900, in the U.S., nearly one-third of all new babies never reached the age of five. The major diseases that took these children were whooping cough, diphtheria, scarlet fever and rheumatic fever. As well, women often died of “childbirth fever”, a serious streptococcal infection of the vagina. One of the unsung heroes of medication history is hydrocortisone. It was discovered sixty years ago and has been a wonderful solution to people suffering from itchy and inflamed skin conditions. The drug is found in creams and ointments and is available without a prescription. Our pharmacists can advise you on the proper use of this product. Singing in a choir is good for your health. Scientific studies have proven that singers have longer lives, use fewer prescriptions, have better cognitive skills, better vision, volunteer more often and have long-lasting marriages. One more thing: 93% of choir singers vote in elections! Asthma-sufferers note: about one-third of asthma patients do not use their inhalers correctly. This means they are not getting the proper dose of medication to help the condition. This applies to both the spray-type and dry powder inhalers. Our pharmacists can check your technique on your asthma inhalers to help you get the most from these drugs. Check with us when you get them refilled. Have Your Prescriptions Filled With Us

Kal Tire rolls into new era GRAEME CORBETT Business Editor
The late Tom Foord never got to see the finished product, but his son, Robert, says he would have been extremely proud of the new Kal Tire building. And perhaps even a little awestruck. “He was always amazed, quite frankly, at our success and what the company had become,” said Robert, Kal Tire president. “For him to look back 60 years ago… he started in a gas station downtown and this is what became of it. He’d still shake his head and smile and be happy, but very amazed.” Tom, who died of complications stemming from heart failure in April, won’t be alone in marveling at the 85,000-squarefoot structure, nestled in the back of Kalamalka Lake Road. Standing three stories and featuring a sleek, glass exterior, the office wouldn’t look out of place in a larger city centre. The building’s interior incorporates a modern blend of glass, pine beetle wood, brick and exposed concrete, offset by plenty of open space and the occasional splash of Kal Tire orange. There is a 150-seat cafeteria on the ground level, with coffee stations on each end of the upper levels, as well as two classrooms dedicated to training. The building’s centrepiece is a skylight over an atrium that allows for an abundance of natural light to permeate the office space. David Penner, Kal Tire’s building project manager, said the building’s design transformed as the process went along, adding it nearly ended up looking like something entirely different. “There was an initial design that was almost through the conceptual stage when a number of people looked at it and said, ‘No, that just doesn’t fit Kal Tire and it doesn’t fit the

on the global mining scene, with clients at 150 sites in 20 countries. At MINExpo last month in Las Vegas, the company was awarded Supplier of the Year for Africa for its work with Newmont Gold in Ghana. Yet, despite steady corporate expansion, and the accompanying temptation to operate in a larger city, Foord says Kal Tire is staying put in the North Okanagan. “Vernon is our home; always has been,” said Foord, adding advances in communications technology make a company’s physical location less and less important. “We’ve got our business roots here, but we also have families and that’s a connection we want to maintain and grow. “We consider ourselves to have a small-town culture to our business and small-town values. From a quality of life standpoint, it’s pretty tough to find a better place to live than Vernon.”

Incorporation talk
I
f you are the owner of a sole proprietorship, it may make sense to consider incorporating. Let’s look at some of the issues you should think about before making your decision. Is the business profitable? – In the first few years, a business will often generate losses due to startup costs. If you hold the business personally, the losses can be deducted against all other sources of income, assuming the business has a reasonable expectation of profit. If a business is incorporated, losses can only be applied against corporate income, not personal income. Is the business producing more income than the proprietor needs? – If so, then incorporating may allow for income splitting, such as paying dividends to other adult family shareholders, and taxdeferral opportunities. There may be limited benefit realized by paying company profKirbey Lockhart its, via salary or dividends, to the owner/manager. Does a corporation really pay lower taxes? – Small businesses enjoy a greatly reduced tax rate (about 11 to 19 per cent, depending on the province) on the first $500,000 ($400,000 in Manitoba and Nova Scotia) of active business income due to the small business deduction. In comparison, personal tax rates can be up to 50 per cent on taxable income over about $128,000. Is retirement or succession planning being considered? – If either avenue is being contemplated, incorporating can reduce, or defer, the taxes that would otherwise be payable. If a business qualifies as a small business corporation, a portion of any gain on the sale of the shares may be exempt from tax through the capital gains exemption. The capital gain exemption is not available if an owner sells assets of the business. However, it is possible for a sole proprietor, anticipating a sale, to incorporate immediately before a sale and then sell the shares of the corporation to be eligible for the capital gains exemption. You can potentially multiply the use of the capital gains exemption through the use of an estate freeze, whereby future growth of a company is transferred to other family members, but control remains with the original owner. This results in the future tax liability on the growth of the company being transferred to other family members, who in
GUEST COLUMN
turn can make use of the capital gains exemption at a later date. Can an incorporated business write off more expenses? – Many people believe that you can write off many more different kinds of expenses if you incorporate your business. In fact, you are still limited to writing off those expenses that were incurred to produce the income. Other things to consider: Limited liability – Generally, creditors of a corporation cannot seize the personal assets of the owner/manager unless he or she gave personal guarantees for loans of the corporation. Tax holiday – In several provinces, newly incorporated business are offered up to three years of income or sales tax relief. 3108 - 33rd Street, Vernon Non-taxable ben(next to OK Tire) efits – A corporation 250-545-5258 can offer benefits that are not available to sole Check out our Rates!! proprietorship owners, * Tax-Free Savings like group health and Account: pension plans.

BERMUDA - Mark Twain once wrote, “You go to heaven if you want, I’ll stay here in Bermuda.” I concur, I’ve had a long standing love affair with the beautiful island. I have been under her spell ever since my parents settled there for eight years in the 1980s, my clergyman father tending over the charming congregation of a pastel pink Presbyterian Church on the hillside of Hamilton. I would explore every narrow lane, roundabout and pink sand beach. I swam in her crystal-clear waters, dove her wrecks and black corral, and visited her rum-laden hangouts. Only 21 miles long and two miles wide, Bermuda is a looselylinked chain of islands with lush, rolling hills, beautifully-tended gardens, and ocean views everywhere you look. Travellers often think of Bermuda as a

Bermuda’s impeccable location means the island is warmed by the Gulf Stream and the sun’s rays, but free of the tropeics’ relentless heat. Visitors find a rich island history, beginning when a Spanish sea captain, Juan Bermúdez, spotted the uninhabited islands in 1505. The British arrived a century later. Bermuda began in
the Town of St. George, which was its capital for 200 years. Steeped in history, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is the oldest continuously occupied town of English origin in the New World. The capital was moved to Hamilton in 1815. My wife and I spent three nights at the Fairmont Hamilton Princess. You can spend a day here exploring the parks, museums, and British-style pubs, seafood restaurants and eclectic shops. We hopped on the ferry for
a scenic trip to Somerset, site of the Bermuda Maritime Museum and Dockyards, with restaurants, a craft market, galleries, and a wonderful dolphin show inside the 19th century Dockyard Keep. For the remaining four nights of our week’s stay, we found the best of Bermuda at the Fairmont Southampton. The palatial pink hotel crowns the 100-acre resort, surrounded by an executive golf course. Adjacent to the Fairmont’s beach club is stunning South
Shore Park and famous Horseshoe Beach, considered one of the top 10 beaches in the world. We walked for two miles along a labyrinth of coral caves and cliffs that jut from the satiny pink sand. You will find this walk necessary, or perhaps the 185 step climb up nearby Gibb’s Hill Lighthouse, because of the fantastic island dining. Make sure you experience the Bermuda fish chowder liberally laced with sherry pepper sauce and black rum at the Frog and Onion in Hamilton, Rockfish at the Barracuda, curried conch stew at the Black Horse Tavern at St. George’s and a Rum Swizzle in the original Swizzle Inn at Bailey’s Bay. Our final night at the Waterlot Inn was our most memorable meal. Located in a dockside cottage established in 1670, this charming restaurant can’t be surpassed for history, local charm and quality of food. A visit to Bermuda seduces your senses, delights, rejuvenates and inspires, just as it had inspired Mark Twain long before - it is a little piece of paradise.

RV donation benefits college Morning Star Staff
One of the biggest RV rigs cruising North America today will be helping Okanagan College students get their careers on the road, thanks to a donation from a Calgary man with a college connection. Ron Lee took Okanagan College’s popular RV owners lifestyle seminar series for two years running and in that time, got to know instructor Jon Itterman. This year, when the two got chatting, Lee mentioned an older rig he had parked in his backyard. “Jon said the students could probably really use it, so that got me thinking,� said Lee. When Lee returned home to Calgary, he virtually turned around, this time driving his 2001 30-foot, class A motorhome straight to the Kelowna campus where he handed over the keys to John Haller, OC’s dean of trades and apprenticeship programs. “I used to work for the University of Manitoba so I have an attachment to post-secondary institutions,� Lee said.
The donation will help enhance students’ skills. “Okanagan College is extremely grateful when people think of our students here, even from as far away as Calgary,� said Haller. Lee clocked nearly 13,000 kilometres on the RV over a two-year period travelling throughout the Prairies, and down through Reno, Nevada to Sacramento, Calif. The rig is now in need of numerous repairs which makes it a perfect educational tool for students enrolled not only in the RV service technician program but also the automotive program. “Our collision repair students will be able to work on the air-conditioning, while our RV students can work on the electrical problems, and the interior. Students need to work on real situations because that’s what they will be doing out in the field,� said Itterman. “It really adds to their resume when they can tell employers they worked on real problems that came into the shop.�

October 14 - October 20, 2012
Branding your business Building a brand is essential for small businesses hoping to thrive in a competitive business market. Because consumers are still pinching pennies and looking to stretch every dollar, today’s market is as competitive as ever, but a brand can be used to effectively explain to potential customers what you and your products provide as well as how you and your products differ from those offered by competitors. When building a brand, one of the first things a small business owner must do is define his or her brand. Defining a brand is essential, but it isn’t always easy. The following are a few tips to help small business owners define their brand. * Understand and explain your mission. Small business owners clearly want to make money, but the mission of your company should go beyond padding your bank account. This mission should define the company’s reason for being. Try to write why the company exists in a few short sentences, and then ask others in the company to do the same. For example, if your company is making an eco-friendly alternative to a popular product, then explain that your mission is to provide consumers with eco-friendly alternatives to traditional products. Explain your philosophy and keep in mind that your mission might change as your company evolves. * Explain why your product is beneficial. Another step to defining a brand is to explain why it’s necessary. This includes describing the your company’s product’s features and services provided. You want to separate your product and your company from its competitors, so be as specific as possible.
* Know your customers. It helps to know who your customers are and what they want. Thanks to the Internet, customer feedback and consumer opinion is now easier to attain than ever before. While direct feedback on your product is beneficial, you can also visit online forums in which consumers discuss their experiences, both good and bad, with other products and other companies. Use that information to your advantage, and never assume you know what your customers want. Understanding your customers is an ongoing process, as their needs and wants are likely to evolve over time. Stay on top of knowing what your customers want so you can continue to meet those needs. * Think about what you want your company’s reputation to be. Branding also involves managing your company’s reputation. You want existing customers to react positively when thinking about you, your company and your products. Courteous, attentive and professional customer service goes a long way, as does adhering to your company’s mission. You not only want customers to be return customers, but you also want them to speak positively of you to their friends and family. * Seek help. Defining a brand isn’t easy, and if you’re struggling to turn a great product into a successful brand, then don’t be afraid to seek assistance. Many communities recognize the important role small businesses play in a local economy, and such communities routinely host small business forums and discussions aimed at helping small business owners thrive. In addition, seek advice from established small business owners in your area, who might be able to share both their good and bad experiences and help you avoid certain mistakes they made when starting out. If you require help with your branding, whether it is print or web media, contact a marketing consultant at Vernon Morning Star by phoning 250-545-3322 and ask for Sales. CB12A550

I taught for many years at the Okanagan College of Massage Therapy here in Vernon which was a rewarding experience and it greatly broadened my knowledge and awareness. Becoming a Registered Massage Therapist was a natural decision for me. It grew from my lifelong interest in Įtness & health, my background as a compeƟƟve athlete, and my educaƟon. My goal is to provide compassionate and excepƟonal massage therapy care. We enter into a partnership and I use a variety of Massage Therapy techniques & educaƟon on exercises to encourage and enhance your health & healing. My toolbox of skills has grown over the years -- from therapeuƟc, rehabilitaƟon exercises, deep-Ɵssue, trigger point and Ortho-Bionomy. Massage is a natural complement to any healthy lifestyle, to maintain proper funcƟon or to help recovery from injury or disorders. I look forward to working with you.

Branding your business Building a brand is essential for small businesses hoping to thrive in a competitive business market. Because consumers are still pinching pennies and looking to stretch every dollar, today’s market is as competitive as ever, but a brand can be used to effectively explain to potential customers what you and your products provide as well as how you and your products differ from those offered by competitors. When building a brand, one of the first things a small business owner must do is define his or her brand. Defining a brand is essential, but it isn’t always easy. The following are a few tips to help small business owners define their brand. * Understand and explain your mission. Small business owners clearly want to make money, but the mission of your company should go beyond padding your bank account. This mission should define the company’s reason for being. Try to write why the company exists in a few short sentences, and then ask others in the company to do the same. For example, if your company is making an eco-friendly alternative to a popular product, then explain that your mission is to provide consumers with eco-friendly alternatives to traditional products. Explain your philosophy and keep in mind that your mission might change as your company evolves. * Explain why your product is beneficial. Another step to defining a brand is to explain why it’s necessary. This includes describing the your company’s product’s features and services provided. You want to separate your product and your company from its competitors, so be as specific as possible.
* Know your customers. It helps to know who your customers are and what they want. Thanks to the Internet, customer feedback and consumer opinion is now easier to attain than ever before. While direct feedback on your product is beneficial, you can also visit online forums in which consumers discuss their experiences, both good and bad, with other products and other companies. Use that information to your advantage, and never assume you know what your customers want. Understanding your customers is an ongoing process, as their needs and wants are likely to evolve over time. Stay on top of knowing what your customers want so you can continue to meet those needs. * Think about what you want your company’s reputation to be. Branding also involves managing your company’s reputation. You want existing customers to react positively when thinking about you, your company and your products. Courteous, attentive and professional customer service goes a long way, as does adhering to your company’s mission. You not only want customers to be return customers, but you also want them to speak positively of you to their friends and family. * Seek help. Defining a brand isn’t easy, and if you’re struggling to turn a great product into a successful brand, then don’t be afraid to seek assistance. Many communities recognize the important role small businesses play in a local economy, and such communities routinely host small business forums and discussions aimed at helping small business owners thrive. In addition, seek advice from established small business owners in your area, who might be able to share both their good and bad experiences and help you avoid certain mistakes they made when starting out. If you require help with your branding, whether it is print or web media, contact a marketing consultant at Vernon Morning Star by phoning 250-545-3322 and ask for Sales. CB12A550

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Keep uppermost in your mind the fact that the end results are of more significance than how you got there.

Friends will get caught up in the moment and help you where they can. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Don’t be afraid to elevate your sights, especially where your finances and commercial dealings are concerned.

Bridge by Phillip Alder HOW CAN YOU KEEP EAST OFF THE LEAD? Lao-tzu, a great thinker considering that he was alive some 2,500 years ago, said, “To know yet to think that one does not know is best. Not to know yet to think that one knows will lead to difficulty.” This deal was also in yesterday’s column. Today, we will try to know what is best for South. He is in four hearts. West leads the spade king and East signals with the jack. What should South do? North made a negative double, showing four hearts (or perhaps five or six when not strong enough to respond two hearts). South jumped aggressively to game. South has a lot of losers:
one spade, one or more hearts and one or two diamonds. This means that trumps need to be 3-2. And if so, declarer has enough tricks if he can draw trumps and run the clubs without first losing four tricks. How might South lose too many tricks? Based on the bidding, West is likely to have the diamond ace, so if East gains the lead and shifts to that suit, South will surely lose at least one spade, one heart and two diamonds. How can East be kept off the lead? Perhaps with difficulty! But there are two steps South should take. First, he must duck at trick one; otherwise, East will have a spade entry. Second, he must begin trumps by leading a low one from his hand. With this layout, as we
saw yesterday, if South starts by cashing the heart ace, West can defeat the contract by sacrificing his king under the ace. Then East would gain the lead in hearts for the lethal diamond shift. This deal is not easy, but the entry-creating and entry-denying themes are important.
