Gas line breaks add to inconvenience RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Some motorists are fuming over a rash of natural gas line breaks on Vernon’s Tronson Road. A gas main rupture Monday was the fifth similar incident since upgrades to the sewer service began in early August. “The contractor is having some challenges,” said Mark Dowhaniuk, the city’s infrastructure engineer. “It’s debatable whether all lines are shown on the drawings but some are clearly the contractor’s error.” Just as during the previous incidents, Monday’s gas line break led to Tronson Road being closed to traffic. That led to long lines of vehicles forming on both sides of the break. One caller to The Morning Star expressed frustration that Tronson Road is the only way in and out of that area and the ongoing closures are a major inconvenience. At one point Monday, a school bus full of students had to turn around after sitting at the roadblock for some time. A strong natural gas smell was evident. “The contractor hit a two-inch gas main,” said Dowhaniuk. “They didn’t check drawings that clearly showed it.” The incident occurred just after 2:30 p.m. and the road was shut down until about 4:45 p.m. “The city’s first priority is pub-

Motorists are left waiting as a natural gas leak shuts down Tronson Road, at Bella Vista Road, Monday. lic safety,” said Dowhaniuk. Meetings have been held with the contractor about the breaks, and Dowhaniuk says the contractor is responsible for the repair costs and must also keep to its
original schedule to have the sewer work done by November. “We recognize the issue and we’re taking action.” To keep traffic moving when gas line breaks occur, an escort
vehicle for motorists has been initiated. Additional flagpersons are also in place. A media advisory was also issued by city hall Monday. “We are trying to get people
notified about these situations in advance,” said Dowhaniuk of trying to minimize the number of vehicles waiting in line. The contractor could not be reached for comment.

After witnessing a vehicle collision near Vernon in 2009, Rempel, along with several other bystanders, ran to help the occupants who were trapped in the vehicles which had caught fire. “Sgt. Rempel broke the window and climbed into one of the vehicles to pull the disoriented driver out,” said RCMP spokesperson Const. Kris Clark in a press release. Both drivers were pulled
from their burning vehicles. The driver Rempel helped rescue survived. The other driver died. “Rempel was one of four RCMP members honoured whose acts of bravery are a testament to the risks and the noble acts members perform every day, not for recognition but out of a dedication to keeping Canadians safe,” said Clark. A total of 44 people received the medals from Johnston at Friday’s ceremony.

News Shed targeted for second time RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
It was a case of deja vu for Vernon firefighters. Crews were called to a burning shed in the 3000 block of 41st Avenue Saturday at about 3:35 a.m. They had also been there in July to extinguish a blaze. And that’s not the only similarity. “It’s a suspicious fire,� said Lawrie Skolrood, a deputy fire chief, adding that there was the same determination during the summer. “Someone running around with that intent is not that comforting.� A suspect was never located in July and people sleeping inside the shed were able to escape without injury. There were no occupants inside during Saturday’s blaze, but a nearby vehicle was destroyed by intense heat. There was also a concern that the flames may spread so the Sandman Inn’s south wing was evacuated as a precautionary measure. The case has been turned over to the RCMP, and Skolrood doesn’t expect firefighters will be called back a third time. “Hopefully the problem is gone because the structure is pretty much gone,� he said. ROGER KNOX/MORNING STAR Anyone with information about Saturday’s fire is asked to call the A suspicious shed fire Saturday in the 3000 block of 41st Avenue resulted in no injuries, but did cause the evacuation of one Vernon RCMP detachment at 250-545-7171 or Crime Stoppers at wing of the neighbouring Sandman Inn. 1-800-222-8477.

Morrison expects EDCU clients will benefit from the potential merger. “Because of our size, there are certain products we haven’t been able to provide to our customers,� he said. Negotiations between both sides will continue and regulatory approval will be required. The final step will be a vote among EDCU members likely by the end of 2012. If the merger is voted down, Morrison says EDCU’s board of directors will consider options. “It’s a factor that could be there but I believe this is the right thing to be doing and the right time to be doing it,� he said. Besides EDCU, the only other independent financial institution headquartered in

The girl (spotter) said it hit the middle of the green and spun back three inches into the cup. I couldn’t see it because my eyes are going.” Spall member Bob Collins, of Capri Insurance, who sponsored the third hole with Vernon Kia, presented Haverty with his cheque. Chapman was a longtime starter and pro shop employee at Spallumcheen. He
greeted everybody with a gigantic smile and gave them the time of day. He died in March 2011 at the age of 75. Chappy was loved so much he has an Island named after him, on the 17th hole. Winners in the fourman, two-best-netball inaugural Chappy tournament were Dave Ingram, Gary Kennell, Wayne Bentson and Danny McEachnie with a score of 117. Second place were Neil Chester, Sandra Chester, Cindy Hoffman, Randy Hoffman, at 119. There was a field of 124.

They gathered to play some golf in remembrance of a special friend Saturday. Most went home happy with a decent gift off the $8,000 prize table. Dave Haverty left Spallumcheen Golf & Country Club with the day’s largest token – a $40,000 fully-loaded Kia Optima – after carding an ace in the inaugural George (Chappy) Chapman Member Wind-Up. Haverty, a 57-yearold City of Vernon parks foreman, actually took the cash and split some of his winnings with his foursome, including local gumshoe Jeff Parker and his wife, Cheryl, and former Morning Star sports reporter Scott Douglas. Haverty used a seveniron to ace the 160-yard third hole. “Chappy was a good friend so this feels pretty special,” said the popular Haverty, a father of two. “I’m happy for all of the group. I know Scott has a daughter (Sasha) who loved Chappy, and Jeff and Cheryl have grandchildren so everybody can use the money to help their families out. Some money came my way that I didn’t have before so I’ll help out our kids and maybe upgrade the trailer for when I retire.” Haverty, a six handicap, felt he hit the sweet spot for his second

the deal. He advised the transaction would not appear on her credit card statement as Cops For Kids, and that’s when the victim became suspicious. The RCMP does not participate in cold calls in raising funds for its charitable Cops For Kids foundation. Molendyk said there are a couple of things to keep in mind if someone comes to the door or uses the phone to solicit donations. “Check with family or relatives to get their opinion,” he said. “You don’t have to give money right away. You can tell the person at the door that you’ll mail the money directly to the charity. Do your
Morning Star Staff
Door-to-door, the Internet, fax machines, you name it, says Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. It’s that time of the year when scams of all types are making the rounds. “The public really needs to be aware that individuals are trying very hard to get your money using a number of different forms,” said Molendyk. The United Way alerted the public and police last week that individuals were going door-todoor using a hand-held debit machine to solicit donations, then used
“The public needs to be aware.” — Gord Molendyk the machine to extract more money from bank accounts. The United Way emphatically stated it does not canvass door-to-door soliciting funds. “Sometimes scammers use reputable companies such as the United Way or Unicef,” said Molendyk. “These people who do scams, especially door-to-door, are really good. They’ll talk you out of your money.”
The RCMP’s Kelowna-based Southeast District office issued a release Tuesday stating a Vernon resident was recently solicited by a woman caller on the phone seeking donations via credit card for the Cops For Kids charity. In that case, the woman claimed to be having troubles with her computer and handed off the call to her “boss,” a man, who was attempting to complete
homework.” The hand-held debit machine was created to allow professional businesses to easily conduct transactions outside of the business. However, individuals can make a living figuring out how to use technology to scam people. “We’re in a plastic age now, a lot of people don’t go to banks anymore, they do their banking online,” said Molendyk. “There are those individuals who use this product for the wrong purposes to collect your data. “It’s a small number of people doing it but it hurts reputable organizations who go out and fundraise.”
MLA defends education funding RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Teachers are protesting education funding, but one politician is defending Victoria’s actions. The Vernon Teachers Association is demanding the provincial government increase the budget to bring it up to what it calls the national average. “Funding has gone up substantially while enrolment has decreased,” said Eric Foster, VernonMonashee MLA. “There are an increased number of special needs assistants in the classroom.

“Funding has gone up.” — Eric Foster give a flat comment that we’re not funding education.” VTA officials say kindergarten to Grade 12 spending as a percentage of gross domestic product has climbed across Canada but is stagnant in B.C. “This widening gap is leaving B.C. schools relatively worse off compared to the rest of the country,” said Kevin Bader, president.
Bader says the number of special needs students has grown while special education teachers have been cut. “It is simplistic to say there are fewer kids and more dollars,” he said. “The reality is costs have gone up substantially and funding increases have not been enough to preserve the same level of services our students had a decade ago.”

Bader also says the B.C. student-to-teacher ratio indicator was the worst in Canada for 2009/10. A similar view is coming from the North Okanagan-Shuswap Teachers’ Association. “The stark reality is that funding increases have not been large enough to preserve the same levels of service our students had a decade ago,” said president Lynda Bennett. “We believe these services are vitally important to the students in schools now and to the social and economic health of the province in the long term.” Foster questions if the timing of the unions’ statements coincides with looming contract negotiations between teachers and their employers. “Doing negotiations in the paper is not the way to do it,” he said. “If they have constructive suggestions for improving the system, we’re willing to sit down and discuss it.”

Tax evasion leads to jail time Morning Star Staff
A Vernon man has been sentenced to jail time and given a hefty fine for tax evasion. The Canada Revenue Agency says Harold David Isaac was sentenced to 12 months in jail and an $84,030 fine for income tax evasion, six months in jail and a $37,401 fine for goods and services tax (GST) evasion and two months in jail and a $636 fine for participation in receipt of excess GST tax credits. The jail time is to be served concurrently. Isaac was found guilty July 18, 2012. The court granted Isaac three years to pay the fines. The CRA said, in a press release, that its investigation revealed that Isaac failed to report $821,732 in taxable income for the 2004 to 2008 taxation years, and as a result evaded $168,061 in federal income
tax payable. By understating his net income, $4,706 in GST credits were paid to his spouse, to which she was not entitled. In addition, Isaac also failed to collect and remit $74,802 in GST. Isaac claims that he is a “natural person” and not subject to taxation and not required to collect GST on his electrical contracting revenue. The courts have consistently rejected this argument and in Isaac’s case found him guilty on all counts. The preceding information was obtained by the CRA from court records. The CRA said individuals who plan to use the tactics of tax protesters should know this could have significant personal and financial consequences, including fines, imprisonment, or seizure of goods. When taxpayers are convicted of
income tax evasion, they must still repay the full amount of taxes owing, plus interest and any civil penalties that may be assessed by the CRA. In addition, the court may fine them up to 200 per cent of the taxes evaded and impose a jail term of up to five years. Taxpayers who have not filed returns for previous years, or who have not reported all of their income, can still voluntarily correct their tax affairs. They may not be penalized or prosecuted if they make a valid disclosure before they become aware of any compliance action being initiated by the CRA against them. These taxpayers may only have to pay the taxes owing, plus interest. Information on the Voluntary Disclosures Program can be found at www.cra.gc.ca/voluntarydisclosures.

According to the Community Charter, “the mayor must suspend a municipal officer or employee if the mayor considers this necessary.” A suspension must be reported to the council at its next meeting. The matter was not brought up during the regular meeting Monday, but an incamera session – which is closed to members of the public and media – was held immediately
Suspects nabbed in hot tub heist An alert citizen thought it was kind of strange to see half-adozen people loading a hot tub into a pickup truck at 5:30 a.m. Tuesday. The person told Vernon RCMP that the six people were loading a hot tub from the yard of a business in the 2900 block of 41st Avenue on to a truck that was parked outside of the yard on 31st Street. “Police attended and located two people in the truck, and a third walking back to a shed at the corner of the property,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “Three people were arrested in the shed.” In all, five people were arrested for, theft over $5,000 and possession of stolen property.

A difficult situation
I
t wasn’t intentional but the Township of Spallumcheen has provided a lesson on governance. The suspension of chief administrative officer Lynda Shykora shocked many local municipal officials because they didn’t realize that one person — the mayor — has the authority to place an employee’s career on hold. I am more than abundantly familiar with civil servants being fired, but suspension was a new one on me. So unclear about the situation, I actually consulted the Community Charter, the provincial legislation that instructs municipalities how to operate. Section 51 states, “The mayor must suspend a municipal officer or employee if the Richard Rolke mayor considers this necessary.” What this means is the suspended individual is still considered an employee but they are unable to perform their duties or be at their place of work. Section 51 also goes on to say that, “A suspension must be reported to the council at its next meeting, and the council may (a) reinstate the officer or employee, (b) confirm the suspension, (c) confirm and extend the suspension, or (d) dismiss the officer or employee.” The Spallumcheen situation has topped the rumour mill between local politicians, bureaucrats and media types. For some local mayors, they are clearly uncomfortable with the prospect of taking such an extreme action without being sanc-

tioned by their council colleagues to proceed first. There is also a good deal of speculation about the long-term implications of a suspension. If a council backs a suspension and ultimately fires an employee, taxpayers could be left forking out severance. And if the employee believes they were wrongfully dismissed, there’s the prospect of costly legal action. But some are also left wondering what happens if council overrules a suspension and an employee is allowed to return to their day-to-day activities. How is the working relationship at the municipal office impacted? Obviously there could be plenty of tension. Now no one in the public actually knows what’s been going on behind the scenes in Spallumcheen, and it may even be that some councillors aren’t fully aware of details. Because personnel matters are mandated confidential, Mayor Janice Brown is providing no response to the media. “I have been told to say, ‘No comment at this time,’” she said. And that’s fair, but because council is working on behalf of the residents of Spallumcheen, some information — even if it’s just clarifying Shykora’s status with the township — will have to be released to the public eventually. And ultimately, it’s the residents of any municipality that have the most at stake when back-room issues like this arise. They either wind up pumping out a lot of their hard-earned dollars or they are left with a governance structure that is dysfunctional.
If only half of the outpouring of love and support directed towards Amanda Todd had come a week earlier, there’s a good chance the B.C. teen would still be alive today. The 15-year-old Port Coquitlam girl committed suicide last Wednesday, a month after posting a haunting video to YouTube detailing her years of abuse from harassment and bullying both at school and online. Todd posted the nine-minute video online at the beginning of September, showing her holding up a series of hand-written cards describing the anxiety and depression she was suffering. The video ends with her note: “I have nobody. I need someone.” The story of her tragic suicide has captured the attention of media around the world, and more than a dozen online memorials have been set up on Facebook, with one already boasting more than 500,000 “likes.” Police have about two dozen investigators sifting through leads to find any evidence that could result in charges against individuals, while hundreds of tips are pouring into an email account set up by RCMP. While we hope police are successful in identifying those responsible for tormenting Todd, that will do nothing to prevent a repeat of this heartbreaking story. Coroner Barb McLintock said in order for her to make recommendations to prevent similar tragedies, issues ranging from school and mental health support, to cyber and social media bullying must be explored. We must all do all that we can to prevent any more young lives being needlessly cut short. Parents, please talk to your kids. Let them know they are loved and they always have somewhere to turn; and just as importantly, help them to understand pain that can be caused through words, and what we all stand to gain from their offering comfort and support to a classmate in need.

Free enterprise carries a price
T
he description of free-enterprise in the Canadian Dictionary of the English Language is as follows: “Freeenterprise is the freedom of private businesses to operate competitively for profit with minimal government regulation.” The mostly small and medium size businesses John Trainor writes about are now the least part of the free-enterprise system, and I would agree with Steve Gunner that free-enterprise is indeed a doctrine. In fact it has become one of the most powerful and important doctrines in the world. Huge international corporations, even countries, usually run their financial and economic affairs according to the precepts of freeenterprise and have done so for decades. It should be noted that free trade has long been an integral part of free-enterprise as they work together and cannot be separated. Some supporters have given free-enterprise almost the status of a cult. True believers feel its principles are sacrosanct, and they embrace even those extreme policies which have sometimes led to negative social consequences. Considering the information that has come forward in recent years, Steve Gunner GREAT STUDENTS As a teacher at Vernon Secondary School, I was proud to read the article "VSS collects Encorp honour," applauding the school's recycling of beverage containers. One element the story missed was explaining how the thousands of containers collected make it from the collection bins to the recycling depot. This job is performed by the hardworking students of the Resource Room, a program at VSS for students with developmental disabilities. The students, along with their equally hard-working certified educational assistants, faithfully collect, sort, and bag the beverage boxes and bottles. They also regularly clean the collection bins. It is messy work but they are determined to do the job and do it well. Without them, the recycling program simply wouldn't function. I'm proud to be associated with these fine young people who take such pride in their work and make
may be correct in his comments that, “the free enterprise doctrine is no longer working.” If results mean anything, it certainly is not working the way it is supposed to. A highly reputable and comprehensive study with figures no one disputes has been released, and its evidence shows that long before the recession, the difference between the rich and the poor in developed countries had increased enormously. We now have more people living in poverty then we have had since the Great Depression. The research indicates the race to the bottom has been going on for well over 20 years. This suggests the policies we have been following are seriously flawed, and if
a fine contribution to the environment of our school and our natural world. Way to go. Dvoira Yanovsky OFFICER PRAISED In these days when the RCMP seem often to receive critical press, there are doubtless, many incidents where police officers behave admirably (as they should) but which go unnoticed by the media. Here is one such: On Sept. 12, I was in a bad collision with a commercial truck and trailer at the Vernon Square exit onto Highway 97, in which I was the driver at fault. My vehicle was totalled. No one else was hurt and my injuries were minor but I was very shaken. Expecting the worst from the officer at the scene, I was instead treated with respect, kindliness and reassurance. Const. Nicolas Reimann made sure that I chose to go to emergency and asked me to follow up with him the next day to find out how I was. His professional attitude has made
we continue on this path, we risk causing the breakdown of society. The information from the above study shocked the developed world and helped to inspire the occupy movement. Free-enterprise (which includes free trade) is a valuable economic tool if used with discretion and balance. Unfortunately, this seldom happens and the figures show our actions have enriched mainly corporations and the wealthy, (the so-called one per cent). Economic practices some say are ruinous and ruthless have impoverished whole sections of society, and are helping to create a large underclass which is a perfect breeding ground for social unrest, even insurrection. The U.K. riots are an obvious example.
a positive difference in my recovery from the emotional impact of the crash. I thank him and also the two individuals who had the courage to come forward and offer assistance (they know who they are). A. Russell Earnshaw A RESPONSE Tom Fletcher (Leaders’ Spin Contest Ends in Tie, Morning Star, Oct. 5) claims that a read of budgets shows that there have been no cuts to forest inventory work under the Liberals. However, Liberal Forests Minister Steve Thomson clearly disagrees. In budget estimates this spring, I asked the minister to contrast the amount spent on forest inventory work in the 11 years the Liberals have been in power to the 1990s under the New Democrats. Minister Thomson admitted that under the New Democrats, the budget for forest inventory work averaged $23.6 million, while under the
Canada now has hundreds of thousands of working poor who work very hard but make barely enough to survive. I am ashamed that this situation has become part of the Canadian way of life. Unlike John Trainor, I believe that due largely to the misuse of freeenterprise, we have already travelled a long way on the road back to the dark ages. Although other factors played a part, the often unrestricted free-enterprise with its free trade component would appear to have been responsible for many of the economic and social ills that have overtaken the developed world. Sadly, Canada's present rulers seem determined to follow the kind of self destructive policies that caused this mess in the first place. The future Canada–EU trade accord is truly frightening in its scope and endangers everything from public health care to local and municipal government programs. No wonder negotiations have been kept secret from Canadians. I find it deeply troubling when the followers of a particular ideology are so obsessed that they happily promote the dismantling of their own country and show little concern for the welfare of its citizens. Sharon Ramsdale
Liberals, the average was roughly $8.5 million. By any measure, that’s a significant cut. More important than the dollar figures, however, is the qualitative record of the Liberals on forest inventory. Independent experts, including the auditor general and the Forest Practices Board, have recently condemned the Liberal record on forest inventory and forest health. The auditor general said the Liberals had allowed a trillion-dollar asset – the publicly owned forested lands – to badly degrade, putting the future of our forest industry in jeopardy. Adrian Dix and the New Democrats believe that careful investment in our forests can serve to stabilize the forests today so we can have stable industry in the future. The first step is recognizing the failings of the recent past – and the Liberal cuts to forest inventory work count as one of those failings. Norm Macdonald, MLA New Democrat forests critic

Randal Ostafichuk is keeping his promise to voters one leg at a time. The Lumby councillor indicated during last year’s campaign he would wear pants if elected and he recently did so at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Victoria. “It was a light-hearted joke because people know me as the guy who shovels snow in shorts,” he said of the unusual commitment that he made to Lumby residents. “Someone asked me if I would wear a suit and tie if elected.” While there wasn’t a suit coat anywhere in sight, Ostafichuk did don pants for his session with Community Development Minister Bill Bennett. In fact, it was such an auspicious occasion that Bennett and Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster posed for a photo with Ostafichuk. “I thought I’d take advantage of a meeting with important individuals to fulfill my campaign promise,” he said. For Ostafichuk, wearing shorts has more to do with being practi-

cal than fashionable. As the owner of a computer repair business, all of the working components can make his office warm. “Without shorts, I don’t survive,” he said, adding, though, that he continues to wear shorts long after other people have put
them away. “I can handle down to -25 or 30 during the winter.” For the time being shorts are back on, and Ostafichuk isn’t sure when pants may see the light of day again. “It all depends on who I meet next,” he said.

Lumby is rallying behind a Vernon social agency but it’s not unanimous. In a 3-2 vote Monday, council agreed to provide about $159 towards a $9,200 regional grant for Vernon’s Upper Room Mission. “Lumby residents do use it and because of that, we should support
it,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. The mission offers meals and programs to people in need. Acton believes the mission saves communities money by tackling issues like poverty and substance abuse. “You can get straightened out there and get a second chance at life,” he said. Besides Acton,

Councillors Randal Ostafichuk and Nick Hodge agreed to funding. “This is a provincial responsibility but they do good work and I am happy to support them,” said Hodge. Opposition came from Councillors Jo Anne Fisher and Lori Mindnich. “We have our organizations that we don’t donate too,” said Mindnich. “We don’t even support our own food bank. I thought it would be better spent in our community first.” The Upper Room Mission wants the Regional District of North Okanagan to waive a fee for a water main upgrade to its facility. Individual jurisdictions have been asked to provide funds because RDNO does not have the ability to provide grants. Armstrong, Enderby and Vernon have agreed to financial assistance for the mission.

Anderson acclaimed Conservative candidate Morning Star Staff
A Vernon businessman says he’s ready to represent the community’s interests in Victoria. Scott Anderson, who is a freelance writer, was acclaimed as the B.C. Conservative candidate for VernonMonashee during a nomination meeting at the Schubert Centre Saturday. “I am humbled and very honoured by the level of support I’ve received,” said Anderson. Anderson is quick to dismiss infighting — Scott within the party and some calls for leader John Cummins to resign. “Despite the minor bump in the road that originated from a small, noisy group of dissidents in Vancouver, it’s important to note that according to the most recent Angus Reid poll we’re neck and neck with the B.C. Liberals in the Interior,” said Anderson. “Within a month, I anticipate we’ll have passed the Liberals and be
challenging the NDP. By next May, Vernon-Monashee voters will have a clear choice between the tax-andspend NDP and the common-sense Conservatives. The Liberals simply won’t matter anymore.” Cummins spoke to about 50 members in attendance at the meeting Saturday and he also attended a town hall session later that evening and a brunch at KTs Restaurant Sunday. “It’s obvious that John Cummins has strong, perhaps even supAnderson unanimous, port from the party members in VernonMonashee too,” said Anderson. Anderson’s campaign team has numerous events planned for the coming months, including an Octoberfest party, town hall meetings, a Christmas party, potluck suppers and daily door-to-door contact with residents of Vernon-Monashee. He said first act as a new candidate will be to kick off a food drive for the Salvation Army food bank.

Artist comes full circle Vernon’s David Wilson recognized with a 2012 B.C. Creative Achievement Award for First Nations Art KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Like one of his elk-hide drums painted in colourful pictograph-like fashion, David Wilson’s art has come full circle. The Syilx artist and Okanagan band member has been sharing his heritage and culture with this area for the past decade, and he is now being recognized provincially for telling the story of the Okanagan people through his art. Wilson is one of five artists recognized by the provincial government with a 2012 B.C. Creative Achievement Awards for First Nations Art, a juried competition celebrating artistic excellence in traditional, contemporary or media art. Although he has known for a while about the award, the official announcement was made Friday by B.C. Premier Christy Clark and British Columbia Achievement Foundation chairperson Keith Mitchell. “I was very happy,” said Wilson, when asked how he felt about the news. “The recognition helps as it’s around the province; it’s good promotion for me.” Born and raised in Vernon, Wilson developed his artistic talent while in Vancouver, where he went to take business courses at Langara College at the age 19.
After exploring West Coast and Plains First Nations’ art forms, Wilson returned to Vernon and started to draw inspiration from the art and stories of his ancestors told through pictographs of the Interior Salish people. From that he developed his own unique style, combining vibrant colours and linear forms within a circular picture format, mostly on drum skins made of deer and elk hide. Wilson’s work has since been shown at contemporary and public art galleries throughout the Okanagan, and he has received commissions from the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre and the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation. “The pictographs are still evident in my latest work. I put all the shapes together; the trees and water are behind my style. This is a very unique area, and my work is a unique way of showing it,” he said. Wilson’s latest solo exhibition, We Are the People of the Heart, is currently on view at the Vernon Public Art Gallery until Nov. 1. The artist has also just finished a large acrylic on canvas inspired by a 27-foot canoe that students at Clarence Fulton Secondary School are building and that he has been asked to paint. He is thinking of entering the painting into Kelowna’s Alternator Gallery for Contemporary Art for their annual members show. But first, Wilson will meet the premier to receive his B.C. Creative Achievement Award at a ceremony to be held on Nov. 19 in Vancouver. The five juried award recipients will also each receive $5,000 and the seal of the British Columbia Creative Achievement Award for First Nations’ Art.

Songwriter credits musical friends for ‘Saving My Heart’ KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Sometimes it’s the hardest things in life that need to be worked out in a song. Vernon singer-songwriter-musician Betty Johnson relates this lesson through her new CD, Saving My Heart, which she is releasing Saturday with a bunch of her musical friends and colleagues. It was her musical family in the Okanagan who helped saved Johnson’s heart after she went through major life changes between recording her debut album of original material, Water Ring, five years ago and the release of her current album. She suffered through the deaths of her husband, mother and nephew all in that time. “I had been working on this project for the last three years, but sometimes life has its own plan for you,” said Johnson, who wrote the material that appears on Saving My Heart before, during and after the tragedies happened. “It’s a very cleansing CD for me... It’s about life’s tests. It was hard, but I have my dignity and I keep going.” Johnson is also mourning the loss of a place she considered a haven for songwriters and artists as herself. A three-time alumnus of the annual songwriters intensive workshop put on by Bill Henderson and Roy Forbes, Johnson says she is saddened that the workshop’s home, the George Ryga Centre, has been put up for sale by the Ryga Centre Society due to lack of funds

They are a wealth of talent. “They helped me with gathering the tools and learning the skills to get my songs out there. It gave me the same perspective on life. That’s what songwriting is; you are aware of what you want to say, but it comes out better
in a song.” Johnson also made some new musical friends with the recording of Saving My Heart. Kelowna producer Andrew Smith not only contributed his engineering skills, but his musical know-how as an award-winning songwriter as well as a celebrated tap-style guitarist. “He is a great musician and writer... His son Zachari is equally talented and they will both be opening for me at the CD release,” said Johnson. “We did one getting-to-know-you
track in the studio, and immediately thought, we really do like each other. “ The album’s other 11 tracks flowed from there. One of them, Wildflowers, was actually recorded at Vernon musician/producer Betty Anne Northup’s East Hill recording studio. (Smith recorded his part for the song at his studio.) “We have a Betty Anne connection as my name is actually Betty Ann, but people started calling me Betty years ago,” laughed Johnson, adding, “There’s an underground of artists who live here and have love and respect for each other.” Johnson adds that sentiment to local guitarist-songwriter Chris Madsen, who gave her the song Steppin’ Out, which is on the album. It’s about a woman who steps out for a night without a care in the world. “It’s sort of fitting, I think,” said Johnson. Johnson is steppin’ out in fine musical fashion for her CD release party, which includes a who’s who of local musical guests, including Neil Fraser on guitar, Bill Lockie on stand-up bass, Northup on keys, Larry Crawford on sax and clarinet, with special guests Andrew and Zachari Smith. Local singer/author John Lent will be master of ceremonies. Saturday’s Saving My Heart CD release party takes place at the Vernon Public Art Gallery, 3228-31st Ave., at 7 p.m. Appetizers and delicious sounds will be served. Tickets are $20, available from the Bean Scene or at the door.

Singer/pianist Jesse Peters performs with his trio at the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday. “If I could sum up my musical style in one word, it would be classic. I’m very inspired by classic jazz, classic R&B – imagine Frank Sinatra hanging out with Marvin Gaye or the Rat Pack taking in a session at the Motown studios in Detroit,” said Peters. Peters’ musical inspirations are well-known masters of jazz and soul. “I remember the first album that really

changed my life was Oscar Peterson’s Night Train. The sound coming out of the speakers was incredible,” said Peters. “Another significant influence for me is Tony Bennett. He is such a master. And last but not least, I owe a great debt to the late great Ray Charles. His fusion of gospel music, blues, and soul has inspired me to widen my horizons.” Peters has received glowing reviews ever since he entered the Canadian music scene in 1998. While still in high school, his singing and song writing earned rave reviews from distinguished jazz artists Diana Krall and Ingrid Jenson. By age 21, his group The Peters Drury Trio

had released two critically acclaimed recordings, the second of which featured some of Canada’s elite jazz musicians including Hugh Fraser, Campbell Ryga, Ross Taggart, and Alan Matheson. Both discs were praised by critics and listeners alike in Canada and abroad. When not touring, Peters is a part of the Edmonton jazz scene. “We have a vibrant scene in Edmonton these days. We are very fortunate to have everyone from living legends like Tommy Banks to musicians such as Dave Babcock, an incredible sax player,” said Peters. Peters is also known as the face and voice of funk/soul artist Paramedic. His album
Love, Doubt and Soul was nominated for the 2009 Western Canadian Music Awards Urban Recording of the Year. Peters’ newest recording, Face Time, is a vocally driven tribute to his many influences, featuring tunes that according to Peters, “beg to be listened to with only the finest of wines or indeed an excellent scotch in hand.” Also a busy songwriter and producer, Peters recently co-wrote and produced an album for R&B singer Lindsey Nagy which will be released in November. Evangelos is a phenomenal drummer, an alumnus of the St. Francis Xavier jazz program in Nova Scotia. He met Peters when both were freelancing as country musicians. Evangelos is also an amazing chef, running a successful catering business in Edmonton. In the Grant MacEwan music program in Edmonton, bassist Carter splits his time between jazz and his hard rock band Vanity Red. He performed with Peters at this year’s Medicine Hat Jazz Festival. The Jesse Peters Trio takes the stage at the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:15 and tickets are available in advance for $20 at the Bean Scene, Bean to Cup or online at www.vernonjazzclub.ca

CHRISTINE PILGRIM
Coldstream and world renowned choral composer Imant Raminsh (centre) meets with members of musica intima at their performance at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Sunday.
Musica intima gives magical performance
T
he North Okanagan Community Concert Association’s first concert of the season featured eight Canadian voices finely blended in intricate harmonies at the Performing Arts Centre Sunday. The four men and four women who comprise musica intima closed the first half of their all too short program with a chant “to Christine Pilgrim make the magic work.” And it succeeded. Magic was in the air several times, particularly during another series of chants: Le chant des oyseaux (Bird Chants) – the work of Clement Janequin in the 1500s. Cute coo coos, rolled angry rrrs and irrepressible cara ra ras interspersed between lively melodies kept our eyes and ears on tender hooks for where next to focus. Other chants “to bring back the wolf ” and “keep the bees warm in winter,” written by Canadian R. Murray Schafer, four centuries after Janequin, brought even more extraordinary blends to the mix. During these, the ensemble discarded the line formation used for more traditional pieces such as excerpts from Shakespeare, which included a favourite sonnet: “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” Instead, they faced one another in a circle and danced as their chanting intensified. We didn’t want them to stop. They could have chanted “to save the spider, feed the mosquito, glorify the fly...” and we’d have been happy. The men’s rendition of Healey Willan’s Magnificat (also known as The Song of Mary) transported us to a Benedictine monastery. When they
CONCERT REVIEW
were joined by the women to sing Arvo Pärt’s Latin version, I yearned for more of this Estonian composer’s work (Spiegel im Spiegel for example - a perfect antidote to life’s challenges). Speaking of composers we love, our own Imant Raminsh’s Ave Verum Corpus, featured on musica intima’s latest recording, entitled 20, to celebrate 20 years since the ensemble’s inception, helped boost sales in the foyer. And Come Thou Long Expected Jesus, arranged by Lane Price, earned the tenor special applause when he stepped forward to acknowledge his achievement. Yet another Canadian, Ed Henderson, arranged the beautiful poem Your Fragrance, written by 13th century Persian poet, jurist, theologian and Sufi mystic, Rumi (aka Mevlana). The poem runs: Your fragrance fills the meadow Your mouth appears in a red anemone. But when those reminders leave, My own lips open And whatever I say I hear you. The musical arrangement and its execution were equally beautiful. Favourites like Shenandoah, Loch Lomond and Goin’ Home rounded off the magical evening; although one person suggested longer skirts for the ladies might be more appropriate. “There was quite a lot of leg there,” he commented. That didn’t inhibit a demand for an encore. The singers obliged with a rousing ditty about a pub crawl in North Vancouver. And, being Canadian, we cheered. NOCCA’s next concert on Nov. 21 features three more of Canada’s finest young talents, Triple Forte. Anyone wishing to offer or accept a ride to and from the concert should call 250-5423461.

Taking the time to relax In a calming and soothing atmosphere, the Cancer Relaxation Group helps participants know they are not alone in their fight CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
The Cancer Relaxation Group sessions start with shedding shoes for soft knit slippers. Participants and their support persons and volunteers sit quietly and talk, if they want to, about how the past week has gone and what they hope to receive from the session. I am here to write about the group. While, as one person has pointed out, a diagnosis of cancer is not such a terrible thing as it once was but it still changes a person’s life, at least during treatment. The goal of the group is to let people learn how to take time for themselves and relax while they cope with what is going on with and around them. Quiet music and subdued lighting set the scene for a short, private meditation while seated, then participants move to lie on the mats. “Let yourself sink into the mat,” says facilitator Colleen McEachran. I do. While I can’t imagine what it would be like to hear a diagnosis of cancer, I have just had unexpected and life-changing news and badly need the stress reduction. The timing could not be better for me. I adjust my head on the pillow so the elastic on my ponytail is not bothering
me and one of the volunteers gently tucks a pretty afghan around me. That in itself is calming — it’s been a long time since anyone tucked me in. It feels safe. McEachran, who has a lovely voice, starts the guided meditation while the volunteers, one at the head and one at the feet, start the soothing touch. People who do not want to be touched at either head or feet can say so and the touch will be done a few inches above the body or they can choose to follow only the meditation. The meditation, aided by the soothing touch on head, neck, shoulders, lower legs and feet, leads participants to deep relaxation. The tension (was I really that tense?) slides away. It is surprisingly easy to follow the directions to floating on a cloud. The cloud is whatever you want it to be, warm and cosy or cool and refreshing. “You can look down now, feeling fully supported and comfortable,” says McEachran. “Choose where you are floating, maybe it is over fields, lakes and rivers. Maybe it is along the shore of the ocean. You might see your home. You might see places far away. It is all pleasing and enjoyable and calm.” It really is. I float back in time to where I grew up, to see my parents, and places I have visited, then over my present home, noticing that the garden needs work done, to where my grandchildren and all the other people I love live and then to places I would like to go someday, as I imagine them to be. McEachran brings us back from the cloud to the mat, to the room slowly and gently. I can’t believe it has been about 45 minutes. It seemed like about 10. I don’t want to get up and back to the world, at least not just yet. Each of the other par-
ticipants must have had their own special journeys because they also move somewhat reluctantly back to the present. We all sit down again and those who want to make their comments about the experience. The volunteers who do the soothing touch and set up the mats and pillows and clean up the room say they are pleased to be able to provide this time of tranquility for others. “I feel that helping people learn to relax is so important,” said volunteer Linda Kennedy, later. “I try to get to the group every week if I’m here. I think as a society we do not learn how to consciously relax and are inclined to push, push ourselves and not take time out just to be. This is also a time for me to slow down and relax. I get a gift as I give a gift. “I think it provides people with a sense that they are not alone in their fight, their fear and anxiety and that helps them keep going.” Before leaving, each person takes a card with a word or phrase on it and is asked to think about how that might apply to their personal situation. This is completely private but most people do say that their card is something they need to think about. I know mine is. It is about something I have never even thought is necessary now but it will help me to take this into account. The session is simple and effective. There is room for more participants and a need for more volunteers. The Cancer Relaxation Group is a program of Interior Health and is offered to anyone who has a cancer diagnosis, is having treatment or is in recovery and/or their support persons. The group meets Thursdays at The People Place from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call 250-542-6373.

Still blooming
T
he rain was very welcome after the long stretch of fantastic weather we’ve been having. I had planned on putting my garden to bed sooner but everything was still growing so good. The frost that came in the first week of October didn’t do any damage to my garden except for one big zucchini leaf and a touch on one of my tomato plants. All I have left now are the beets, carrots and parsnips which can take a bit of frost until I am ready to harvest. I dug out some sweet potatoes and a few were a nice size. The Jocelyne Sewell red delicious apples will be picked after the frost. I find the flavour is best that way. On my list to do and very soon is the planting of garlic, tulips and daffodils. The deer take a shortcut between our house and the neighbour’s so the tulips will have to be planted in the back yard where they don’t have access. They have nibbled on the leaves of the raspberry canes as they go by but they have left the berries for me. How kind! Once a month I try to write the names of the plants that are blooming. I just did it on the 14th and it is hard to believe that I have so many blooms at this late date. My hanging baskets are still in good shape. Looks like the petunias don’t mind the cold weather. Some of the geraniums are in the greenhouse but will move into the house this week for sure. My angel trumpet, which I think is a Brugmansia, has 40 buds and some of them are ready to open. Brugmansia differs from
A GARDENER’S DIARY
Datura in that it is woody, making shrubs or small trees and in that it has pendulous flowers, rather than erect ones and have no spines on their fruit. Datura species are herbaceous bushes with erect (not pendulous) flowers, and most have spines on their fruit. I will spray with insecticidal soap before bringing it in the house because it had white flies and they will wake up in the heat. By the time I bring all the plants I want to winter over, we might need a bigger house. Late in the spring I bought some primulas and pansies that were past their prime. The price was right at 10 cents for a four-inch pot. With a bit of TLC they bloomed all summer and are still blooming. Rudbeckias are worth having in your garden. They bloom very early in the season and keep on going until the heavy frost kills them. Another one is my white corydalis which is blooming since the middle of May. At one point I cut off a few of the old stems and it came back better than before. If you don’t let your perennials go to seed and cut them as soon as they finish blooming, many of them will put on another show of flowers later. This is the case for my lavender and oriental poppy. California poppies are not so demanding. They grow so easily and at this time, the bank is bursting with orange blooms. The best of show right now are the dahlias and zinnias. Zinnias make very good cut flowers, they come in such bright shades and they don’t make a mess in the garden as they don’t drop their petals and stay on the plant until you cut them. If you have more than you can use in your harvest, Upper Room Mission and the food bank are always happy to receive your surplus.
Horsey Ladies get ready for charity auction Morning Star Staff
The Horsey Ladies combine a love for all things equine with a desire to give back to the community. To celebrate Christmas and the love of horses, the 15th Annual Horsey Ladies Christmas Banquet and Charity Auction takes place Nov. 16 at Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club. The fundraiser will once again host two auctions during the evening, with all proceeds going to a local charity that the gals vote on that evening. “To date, more than $45,000 has been raised and given back to the community,” said Nancy Roman,
with the group. “It makes for great pre-Christmas shopping for everyone on your list — and no taxes.” The event is limited to 130 horsey gals and sells out — with a waiting list — every year. Advance tickets are $30, available at The Paddock Tack & Togs in Vernon, Country West Supply in Armstrong, and Touch A Texas in Salmon Arm, and includes a traditional Christmas buffet, including vegetarian options and a cash bar. For more information, or to make a donation to the auction, please call Ruby Edwards at 250-5468424 or Roman at 250-546-9922.
More than 200 seniors did not go without turkey dinner this year, as We Care Home Health Services served up its second annual Thanksgiving Luncheon at Schubert Centre Oct. 4. “It’s our way of saying thanks and giving back to the seniors in our community,” says Jennifer Strachan, marketing and business development manager with We Care. “Every event we do, I feel blessed knowing that many seniors don’t have a lot of family and friends around, and we bring everyone together to celebrate. There is no better way to reach out and to provide great meals, fantastic entertainment with Sally Evans and Molly Boyd and we also give away amazing prizes from all our wonderful sponsors and partners.” Strachan said We Care would like to thank RBC, Canadian Hearing Care, Driving Miss Daisy, Orchard Valley Retirement Home, Shoppers
Drug Mart, Valiant Pharmaceuticals, Okanagan Seniors Transition Services, Mary Kay, Sandra Bradley with ReMax, Catherine Gardens, and especially the Schubert Centre. “Without our valued sponsors and partners, none of our events would be as successful as they are,” says Holly Malfair, owner of We Care. “It is our honour to be working strategically with so many partners that want to give back to our community and we hope to offer these events for many years to come.” The next We Care event is a Christmas luncheon on Dec. 20. Tickets will be available at the Schubert Centre on Dec. 17. If you are a business that would like to participate please call Jennifer with Aspire Strategies, 250-309-7573, or e-mail jenstrachan@shaw.ca. We Care provides in-home care to all ages for a wide variety of medical or daily housekeeping needs.

In this situation all of the elements needed to start a fire are present. The pilot light in the furnace is a source of ignition and the propane gas in the cylinders is a source of fuel. The circumstance bringing the two together will depend only on the amount of vapor that will be vented from the cylinders in the heat of the

The possibility of a fire starting in this case is almost inevitable and without immediate intervention this situation will become extremely hazardous. The good news and the real intent of this article is to emphasize that with the right
habits developed towards fire prevention and some good old common sense we can provide the best defense in reducing fire risk and eliminating the threat of fire hazards altogether. We need to accept that we live in a beautiful part of the country that offers wonderfully hot, dry summers and understand that by being fire smart and preparing

ourselves for what we know will happen each year, we can reduce the risk of fire significantly. In B.C., it is a violation of the fire code to knowingly create a fire hazard and it is a nothing less than a preventable tragedy to have your home burn down as a result of one. I encourage you to take a moment and go through your home!
Don’t gamble with the safety of your loved ones and your property. Look for any possible fire hazards and eliminate any opportunity of them ever accidently causing a fire! Please help us keep your home the safe place it is meant to be. Lawrie Skolrood is a deputy fire chief with Vernon Fire Rescue Services.

College prepares for annual career fair Morning Star Staff
Exhibitors are already signing up to provide public seminars as part of this year’s career fair taking place at Okanagan College’s Kelowna campus Nov. 4. “We’ve decided to offer exhibitors a chance to conduct their own
seminars,” said co-ordinator Michelle Lowry. “Over the years, we’ve heard how much visitors enjoy hands-on and visual presentations, but the exhibitors were limited to working within the confines of their booth. Now that’s changed with the availability of dedicated
“Visitors enjoy hands-on presentations.” — Michelle Lowry classroom space.” Among those taking
advantage of the new format will be Vern
Johnston, of Diving Dynamics, who will be presenting on offshore commercial diving careers, while the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada will be providing nothing less than a visual tour of the universe. More than 1,000 career-curious individ-
uals from all over the Okanagan Valley attend the fair, which has become one of the most recognized career fairs in the Interior since it launched in 1981. This also marks the first year the fair will be held in the bright, open space of the campus’ Centre for Learning, which gives the fair a more modern flare. “This has become a premium space for many events at the college,” said Lowry. “People like being in open spaces with natural light. It creates a social atmosphere, and
the ability to view the atrium from the second floor gives higher profile to the exhibitors as well.” The fair takes place from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. The exhibitor fee for the event is $200, which includes an optional one-hour presentation space, plus a complimentary lunch, followed by a reception. For more information about the fair and to register as an exhibitor, contact Lowry at 250-762-5445 ext. 4649, or email mlowry@okanagan.bc.ca

Changes to a provincial regulation banning anyone under the age of 18 from using indoor ultraviolet tanning beds are now in effect across B.C. “We are committed to fighting the battle against cancer in all its forms, including skin cancer,” said Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid. “Beginning Oct.15, young people under the age of 18 will be banned from tanning beds to reduce the risk of developing skin cancer later in life” Businesses that fail to post the required sign informing the public of the ban, or who violate the ban by unlawfully permitting minors to use their MacDiarmid indoor tanning equipment without a prescription, will face a fine of $345 for each offence. Under the Public Health Act, changes to the provincial regulated activities regulation ban the use of commercial UV indoor tanning beds by youths, unless they have a medical prescription for a condition such as psoriasis that requires ultraviolet light treatment. The government announced in March that it planned to ban youths from indoor tanning. That announcement followed the release of a report compiled by an indoor tanning working group. “As a stage four melanoma survivor, I am living proof of the dangers of tanning as a young person, said Kathleen Barnard of the Save Your Skin Foundation, a group that has been calling for such a ban. “There are not many of us still alive. That’s why I applaud this regulation. If there is anything we can do to prevent skin cancer later in life, we can save hundreds of families from being ripped apart by this disease.” The World Health Organization has found that indoor tanning before the age of 35 raises the risk of melanoma by 75 per cent. Melanoma is the most deadly type of skin cancer. This year, the B.C. Cancer Agency estimates that 966 British Columbians will be diagnosed with melanoma and 150 will die of it. One in 69 females and one in 56 males is expected to develop melanoma during their lifetime.

Vipers sign Fowlie from Silvertips Cents visit Wesbild tonight Morning Star Staff
With the Vernon Vipers wallowing in the B.C. Hockey League’s Interior Division basement, it was only a matter of time before head coach/GM Jason Williamson took action. The timing turned out right as the second-year bench boss capitalized on the Western League’s overage player deadline, plucking forward Cody Fowlie from the Everett Silvertips. Fowlie, an Airdrie, Alta. native, was a 40-point man (14 goals, 26 assists) and alternate captain with the Tips last season. He became available when Everett picked up 20-year-old Saskatoon Blades’ forward Connor Cox off waivers. Fowlie will make his BCHL debut tonight as the 3-5-0-3 Vipers host the 7-3-1 Merritt Centennials at Wesbild Centre. Luke Pierce’s Cents are tied with the West Kelowna Warriors (6-2-0-3) for second place in the Interior. Everett head coach Mark Ferner, who guided Vernon for four seasons before heading to the Dub, relied on Fowlie in Cody Fowlie all situations and says he will bring skill, experience and leadership to the Viper den. “He’s a fabulous kid; I know he’ll help for sure,” Ferner told The Morning Star as the Tips prepared to play the host Moose Jaw Warriors Tuesday night. “There is no deficiency in his game – he can skate, he can shoot, he’s physical. He scored 40 points for a team that didn’t score a whole bunch. He was a real popular kid within our room.” Fowlie joins forward Pearce Eviston and d-men Brett Corkey and Marc Hetnik as an overage player (the league limit is six). Williamson said Fowlie will add stability to a young forward corps that is struggling to manufacture offence. “It was something we needed to address,” said Williamson. “We wanted to send the right message that we’re going to try to win this year. “Guys are gripping their sticks pretty tight because they feel the pressure too. There’s definitely potential, it’s just we’ve got to get it out of them. If we do, it could be dangerous.” The acquisition of Fowlie presents a problem as the Vipers are two players over the 22-man limit, and one over the eight import players allowed. Williamson remedied the import issue by recalling last year’s backup netminder Danny Todosychuk and placing rookie keeper Joe Young of Hanson, Mass. on the wire. Williamson was in the process of searching for a place for Young to play at The Morning Star’s press time Tuesday afternoon. Todosychuk, a 17-year-old Vernon product who was cut from main camp, has kept busy with the KIJHL Golden Rockets, going 4-1 with a 2.94 goals-against average, and .900 save percentage in five games. On the forward front, Williamson has a little breathing room with forwards Mitch McAllister (shoulder) and Braedan Russell (hand) on the long-term injured reserve. However, McAllister could return to action this weekend. Meanwhile, the Vipers dropped their second straight

With forwards Logan Mick, Mitch Van Teeling and Eviston either injured or ill, Williamson dressed just nine forwards against the 7-2-1-1 Chiefs, who got two goals from Austin Plevy and 34 saves from Mitch Gillam in front of 2,200 fans. A quick powerplay goal by Josh Hansen at 3:32 of the first period, and an even-strength tally by Jaret Babych four minutes later helped the Chiefs extend their unbeaten streak to six games. Viper rookie Kevin Guiltinan sparked his team later in the first period by challenging 6-foot-7 defenceman Cooper Rush to a scrap. Rush started strong, landing several punches, but Guiltinan took the punishment, then dealt some out, finish-
ing the fight with several rights before pulling Rush’s jersey over his head. A couple shifts later, Chilliwack’s Ben Masella dropped the mitts with Vernon’s Jedd Soleway. Vernon responded during a 5-on-3 in the second frame as Adam Tambellini (6th goal) one-timed a Brett Corkey pass past Gillam from a sharp angle. The Chiefs came right back with a powerplay goal of their own, with Plevy crashing the net, and from his belly, sweeping a loose puck home. In the closing minutes, McNaughton and Vernon’s Geoff Crisfield squared off for the third fight of the game that ended in a draw. Plevy pocketed his seventh of the season with less than seven minutes remaining. With files from Eric Welsh/Chilliwack Progress

Bombers buzz Dragons Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Blue Bombers racked up 200 yards rushing as they stopped the West Kelowna Dragons 12-6 in Atom football play Sunday at Grahame Park. Ethan Mitchell led the way with 76 yards, while Tayber McLean had 58 yards and two touchdowns, Kolby Thorpe supplied 46 yards and Mekhi Mitchell added 25 yards. The offensive line, led by Joey Mazzie, Liam Gombrich, Noah Vacqueray, Gibson Vacqueray, and Ryland Croswell did an excellent job blocking as did the back-ups. Defensively, Mitchell recorded eight tackles and a sack, Thorpe had five tackles, a sack, a forced fumble, and fumble recovery and Jared Cooper added three tackles. Coach Guy McLean was happy with the victory and called it a “solid team effort, but we want to improve and get better for our home playoff game in two weeks.” The Vernon Yellow Jackets blanked the West Kelowna Sun Devils 39-0 in Pee Wee action, moving to 8-0 with six shutouts. “Our defence continues to shut down the opposition and give us good field position,” said head coach Brian Cragg. “We have some boys that can flow to the ball and make tackles which allows us to bottle up their offence.” Isaiah Ondrik led all tacklers with four, while Isaac Lowe had an interception. Ethan Anderson opened the Yellow Jacket attack with a one-yard QB sneak and Bryce Tkachuk followed it up with rushing TDs of 21 and 41 yards. A touchback on a missed field goal attempt and a 40
yard TD run by Riley Macgillvray increased the Jackets’ lead to 33-0 after three quarters. Zack Smith hit a streaking Ondrik in the end zone for the final score. The Jackets visit the 7-1 Kelowna Lions Sunday. The Vernon Marauders lost 36-8 to the first-place West Kelowna Sun Devils in Junior Bantam play Sunday at Grahame Park. Tyler (Ducky) Sova scored the only Marauder TD with a 49-yard, tackle-busting rush late in the third quarter behind the solid blocking of Tommy Bettcher, Kaiden Parton, Jackson Ponipal and Clayton Hamming. Long snapper Isaac Olsen and kicker Sebastian Sanchez connected on the convert. On defence, Morgan Nichols was the standout with 10 tackles and a pass interception, followed by Tyler Braun with six tackles and an interception. Zack Rogers, Reid (Pinball) Mackenzie, Tyler Riva and Miles Forrest were also solid on the D. The Marauders meet the second-place Kelowna Lions Sunday (2 p.m.) at Parkinson East Field, adjacent to the Apple Bowl. The Vernon Magnums fell 49-0 to the Coquitlam Falcons in B.C. Midget action Sunday at Grahame Park. “Coquitlam dominated every aspect of the play with speed and desire,” said Magnum head coach Bill (Lumpy) Tarr. “There were enough Magnum players that just plainly did not want to give an honest effort on the field against a top-ranked opponent today.” Tarr said Magnum practices will be interesting to watch this week as Vernon prepares to host North Delta Sunday, 3 p.m., at Grahame.

Paul Carson, who served as offensive line coach for eight seasons prior to taking over as club president this year, will serve as interim head coach for the remainder of the season. “Despite Gavin’s best efforts, this season has not proGavin Lake gressed as we had hoped,” said Carson. “Like any coaching change, this decision is difficult as Gavin is a good man and a good coach who has made every effort to work towards the success of the Okanagan Sun.” Under Lake, the Sun finished 3-7 this season, the club’s worst record in franchise history. Despite their losing record, the Sun did clinch a playoff spot, which will see them

play the Vancouver Island Raiders on Saturday. Said Lake, the team’s fourth head coach in five seasons: “I came late to the dance; I didn’t start until May 1 and I wasn’t in on a lot of the recruiting, so I was really starting from square one with all new faces and a new team. “I always seemed to be behind the eight-ball, I never seemed to catch up and just couldn’t right the ship in time. I didn’t get the most out of what I need and I feel bad, I feel bad for the Sun. I thank them for the opportunity and wish the team the best.” The Sun and Raiders will kick off at 1 p.m. at Caledonia Park in Nanaimo. It’s the fourth meeting of the season between the two clubs. In the previous two games in Nanaimo, the Raiders earned victories of 30-29 and 32-30. The Junior A Sun will begin a search for a new head coach immediately following this season.

Defender Hayley Carlson (2nd year, Red Deer) netted her first of the year and forward Taylor Candelario (1st year, Honolulu) added her second of the season as the Heat won their fourth straight.

Living Greener Calendar mailed to them in
January must pre-register before Oct. 31.
Let’s make the numbers work so you don’t have to
The Regional District of Central Okanagan’s Living Greener calendar is a guide for yearround reference. It includes information on garbage, recycling and yard waste collection dates and drop off locations, plus community events, and useful reference phone numbers. It highlights where to take your hazardous waste, who to call about pesticides, and a recycling directory so you can find out where to recycle almost everything in the Central Okanagan, from batteries to power tools or used books. “Our office no longer mass mails the calendars to all residents on the curbside collection program,” said Rae Stewart, waste reduction facilitator.
“Our office no longer mass mails the calendar.” — Rae Stewart “We’re striving to reduce our impact on the environment and eliminate unnecessary waste by producing and mailing only as many calendars as required. We recognize patterns of behaviour for accessing information are changing, and with more and more people reliant on the internet and mobile technology, printed material is often redundant for many.” The calendar is also available in the form of a smartphone app. The mywaste app is
free to download and it includes collection day reminders. You will also be able to pick up a free copy of the calendar in the new year at many locations, including the Lake Country municipal office, the Lake Country Chamber of Commerce, library branches and the Glenmore landfill. To receive your 2013 Living Greener calendar in the mail, pre-register online at regionaldistrict.com/recycle by Oct. 31 or by phone at 250-469-6250.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) If you get careless about researching the experience of an individual who is scheduled to do a job for you, you could end up getting a rookie. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Usually you’re pretty smart about when to keep things secret, but you might freely discuss something you shouldn’t with those who are deliberately probing you for information.
Take your time and do things right. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) There’s a good chance that a purveyor of bad advice could pressure you into making an unwise decision. Keep your own counsel as much as possible. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Try to be tolerant of somebody who doesn’t seem to grasp ideas or concepts as quickly as most people. In reality, it might be due to the way you convey the information to him or her.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Because your resistance to splurging tends to be rather low at present, it might be best to steer clear of stores that offer all kinds of unique items. Once inside, you might go wild. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) When something is really important, you can be a tenacious person who sticks to the course until your objective is achieved. Today, however, these enviable qualities might be missing. ARIES (March 21-April 19) It behooves you not to act on impulse when it comes to your financial or business affairs. Be sure that what sounds good upon first hearing is able to stand the test of time.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder BECAUSE HE DID THIS, HE CAN’T HOLD THAT Like a good detective story, bridge deals are littered with clues. A player’s job is to interpret them correctly. In this deal, North and South push into six spades. West leads the heart king. How should South plan the play, assuming trumps are 2-1? In the aggressive auction, four clubs and four diamonds were control-bids (cue-bids) expressing interest in a slam. The jump to five spades said that South wanted to be in a slam but had two immediate heart losers. When the dummy
appears, it looks as though declarer will lose one heart and one diamond. To get home, South needs an endplay. He wins the first trick, draws trumps, takes his top clubs, ruffs the club three in the dummy, and casts adrift with a heart. What happens? If the defender who wins this trick plays a heart or a club, South ruffs in the dummy and discards his diamond loser. If West wins and shifts to a diamond, South plays low from the dummy, hoping for the best. If East takes the heart trick and leads a diamond, should South play the queen (assuming East has the king) or low (playing East for the jack)?
The clue is that if East had the diamond king, he would have let West take the heart trick, so that he could lead a diamond through dummy’s ace to guarantee defeating the contract. South should play his low diamond, hoping East has the jack.

Q: A:
Can Feng Shui help me be successful?
Yes. Donald Trump is famous for this quote “I don’t have to believe in Feng Shui. I do it because it makes me money.” Smart man, and he should know right… Correct feng shui can give you the best foundation for your success; however, it’s up to you to act on that! I have been talking about luck recently, and while luck does come into play, correct feng shui is the base of good luck. Oscar Wilde had a famous quote too: “Success is a science. If you have the conditions, you get the results.” As you can see, the secret’s out: feng shui can create the positive conditions needed for success. Whether you desire a happy marriage, stronger relationships, a healthier home, or want to take on ‘The Donald’ himself, incorporate feng shui into your life and you will be successful!

I have discovered what I think is vermiculite insulation in my home; I have heard that vermiculite contains asbestos, which is a health hazard. What should I do?
First of all you should have it verified that it is actually vermiculite. Then you should have a sample of the vermiculite tested at a lab to determine if it actually does contain asbestos. If it is found to contain asbestos you can do a few different things. #1: you can ignore it & hope it will not come back to haunt you (not recommended). #2: some advise to not disturb it, seal it off from the rest of the home and do not touch it. Or #3: you can have it professionally removed. This is most likely the most expensive solution, but I feel is the best solution. Some years ago vermiculite was not a big deal, now it is becoming an issue due to the fact that it is a health hazard, known to cause some types of cancer. My advice is, why take the chance with yours & your family’s health? Have it professionally removed for peace of mind & knowing you have made your home safer. Who knows, maybe in the next few years vermiculite could become a major issue & seriously devalue your home. For further information give me a call or Google vermiculite on the internet.

Care Designer
A:
I understand your concerns and they are valid. Investigating and setting up care for a senior is similar to hiring someone to care for our children. Whether you’re hiring an individual or private home care company, requirements such as worksafeBC insurance, tax remittances, a criminal reference check including the vulnerable sector done within the last year as well as three professional references are minimum considerations when hiring. Someone that is a registered business, has business/liability/worksafeBC insurance, provides you with designations and references related to caring for others, and can provide care when you need it is a care provider. Someone who is unable to provide these may be interested in something else.

You are very wise to be considering owning your own home! This is a great time to buy as Interest Rates are historically low and there are great properties available to purchase. The first step is to consider doing a Mortgage Preapproval. We would need to know your financial information, such as your personal income, current monthly payments and how you have made payments to your creditors in the past (we will perform a credit inquiry on your behalf). We will be able to give you the exact amount of a home that you can consider buying and you will have an interest rate guarantee for 120 days (to protect you, should interest rates increase during the time that you are shopping for your home). OAC /E&O accepted.

PhD, Psychotherapist, Reg. Prof. Counsellor, Hypnotherapist
Q: A:
What can psychotherapy do for me?
Psychotherapy can help you understand why you do what you do, feel what you feel, and act like you act. It helps you get rid of old habits and beliefs that no longer serve you and opens the door to feelings of peace, happiness, and excitement. You have answers to your own questions. In a safe and supportive environment, a psychotherapist uses a variety of tools and techniques to help you access your own inner wisdom. Psychotherapy facilitates turning feelings of being lost, stuck, depressed, anxious, or stressed into feelings of belonging, happiness, confidence, self assuredness and peacefulness. So, you can make positive changes in your personal, professional, or spiritual lives!

The B.C. Conservative Party has established a new unity committee after expelling or censuring 15 party members in an effort to stamp out a smouldering rebellion against leader John Cummins. Party president Al
Siebring confirmed Monday that letters have gone out to 15 members involved in efforts to oust Cummins. None are identified, and the number whose memberships have been revoked will not be disclosed, Siebring said in a statement released after weekend board meetings in Duncan.
The board approved a motion of full confidence in Cummins as the resurgent party prepares for a provincial election in May. The new committee is chaired by party director Daniel Brooks and includes Christine Clarke, who ran third in the Port MoodyCoquitlam byelection

won by the NDP’s Joe Trasolini in April. “We recognize that there are things which can be done to improve our internal processes,” Cummins said. “The motion was clear when it said that we are looking for ways to engage our members, constituency association presidents and boards, and improve communications within our party.” South SurreyWhite Rock constituency president Allison Patton went public last week, claiming there were “at least 20” local party presidents calling on Cummins to resign. Later she was joined at a news conference by Burnaby North constituency president Ariane Eckardt, and said Cummins had agreed to step aside but then changed his mind. Cummins termed that account an “absolute fabrication.” He set a deadline of Oct. 10 for party members to either unite or resign, and later said 14 people had voluntarily quit. The party said it has added 381 new members since Sept. 3, and continues to collect donations at a pace of $4,000 a week.
