Seaton Secondary teacher Craig Leverman casts his vote Thursday at the Vernon Teachers’ Association office. “If the agreement is ratified, we will be very happy and relieved, to welcome our students and staff back to school,” said district superintendent Glenn Borthistle. “We would like to acknowledge that this has been a very difficult time for all our teachers, students and families.” The district also indicates that, at this time, the Ministry of Education does not have plans to adjust the school calendar by adding time to each school day, extending the year or shortening winter or spring breaks. At the secondary level, school districts will have the option of balancing the two semesters so that each section will have equal instructional

Schools ready Area schools are ready to open the doors to students. After studying the tentative deal reached this week between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and provincial negotiators, teachers voted across the province Thursday. BC Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker released the results of the vote Thursday night (after press time) in a webcast from the union headquarters. The six-year agreement is the longest term ever negotiated for a union that has worked under imposed terms for much of the past 30 years. “I want to thank the members of the Vernon Teachers’ Association for their courageous stand and the huge sacrifices they’ve made on the picket lines,” said Heather Malcolm, VTA president. “While the deal isn’t perfect, teachers were able to get new money invested in schools and reach a mutually agreed-to process to deal with any future court decision on class size, class composition, and staffing levels.” Picket lines remained up until the teachers voted on ratification. “We haven’t been in the schools for 15 weeks. It takes time for teachers and other staff to prepare properly for classes to start. This would have normally been done during unpaid time in the summer,” said Malcolm. Barring a no vote by teachers, School District 83 will be opening the doors to students for a half-day on Monday. The district has released more details of return-to-school plans, which mimic the usual routine of students going back for a half-day before returning the next day for a complete school day. Monday will have students end school three hours earlier than usual, with regular schedules beginning on Tuesday. Gradual entry programs for kindergarten students will also continue as laid out by each elementary school.

time. This option has not yet been determined in District 83. Borthistle says schools are currently ready for the students. “Our school facilities are in good condition. Our operations crew worked over the summer to prepare our buildings for the new school year – floors are polished, equipment is upgraded and classrooms have been cleaned.” Bus transportation will also resume as usual, however, if parents have questions, they can contact the transportation department at 250832-9415.

For the Vernon School District, the start of the school year will be the same as usual Monday, a half day for students in Grades 1 to 12, and a gradual entry for kindergarten students. District superintendent Joe Rogers said all details of the back-to-school plans are now up on the Web site at sd22.bc.ca. But meanwhile, trustees and administrators are optimistic that school will indeed be back in session next week. “We want to welcome the kids back and we also need to know how many are coming, by doing a half day it will allow us to add extra staffing if necessary,” said Rogers. “We’re not sure how many students to expect as we may have lost some to St. James, Vernon Christian School and Aberdeen, so we need to put the right number of staff in front of the kids, and most districts are doing it this way. “We are feeling optimistic at this point — it has been a very emotional time, and a very difficult time for teachers, but I really appreciate the support that we’ve gotten from teachers and the public. “Everybody wants what’s best for children and there is nobody in the City of Vernon or the province of British Columbia that doesn’t want what’s best for the kids. “They are starting towards some improvements to the system, especially class composition. There is more that needs to happen and we don’t have all the funding that we need to have, but we have more and it should lead to some improvements because we all want what is best for children.”
Gilroy ready to get back in the saddle roger knox Morning Star Staff
Jack Gilroy wants his council seat back. The two-term Vernon councillor announced Thursday he has taken out his papers and plans to run for one of the six seats in the Nov. 15 municipal election. “I have missed it,” said Gilroy, 65. “I’ve missed the people and there’s some unfinished Jack Gilroy business that has to be settled like the race track (Kin). That’s something that has to be settled.” The Regional District of North Okanagan and the City of Vernon, which both own
Kin Race Track, have been involved in legal action with the Okanagan Equestrian Society since the society was evicted from the Kin Race Track property in 2010. Gilroy, a former deputy fire chief with Vernon Fire Rescue Services, was first elected to council in 2005 and served two consecutive three-year terms. He lost his seat by 35 votes in the 2011 election to Mary-Jo O’Keefe, who has announced she’ll seek the mayor’s chair being vacated in November by Rob Sawatzky. Gilroy has served with current councillors O’Keefe, Bob Spiers and Juliette Cunningham. “I really think the infrastructure is going the right way, what the councillors are doing now,” said Gilroy. While there could be a mix of new and old faces on council following November’s
vote, Gilroy believes experience should be considered by voters. “It’s up to the public who they elect but it’s great to have people with experience,” he said. “It takes the first two years in council to learn things like legislative stuff, things the public don’t even think about. “You make decisions based on legislation, not just what people want.” Gilroy came to Vernon to play junior hockey as a goalie in the late 1960s with the Vernon Essos, and never left. He has raised his family in Vernon and, now that he’s retired, Gilroy has the time to commit to council. “I’ve got the time to do it, and I’d like to represent the people for another four years,” he said. Former councillor Shawn Lee, who lost his seat along with Gilroy in 2011, is running
again in November, as at least two seats will be up for grabs with O’Keefe running for mayor, and the vacancy left by the death in January of councillor Patrick Nicol.

Divers recover body of missing man in lake roger knox Morning Star Staff
The search for a missing Coldstream man ended tragically. The body of Heinz
Schwarz was located in approximately 10 feet of water near the Kal Lake wharf by Vernon Search and Rescue officials Wednesday, shortly after
1 p.m. He had been reported missing by his family Tuesday after he failed to return to his home in the 8800 block of Mariposa
Place. He had left his home for a walk Monday at around 11 p.m. “There is no indication Mr. Schwarz went out to harm himself,” said
Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. Foul play has been ruled out and the case has been turned over to the coroner.
Police discovered Schwarz’s brand of cigarettes and half-a-can of beer on the wharf. RCMP divers recovered the body.
Vehicle knocks over pedestrians roger knox Morning Star Staff
Two Vernon brothers were taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital for observation after they were knocked down by a car in a marked crosswalk Thursday. The brothers, aged 12 and nine, had gone to get a slushy at a gas station, and were returning home, walking on a green light in a crosswalk at the intersection of 25th Avenue and 43rd Street at 7:30 p.m. A white Dodge Durango, making a left-hand turn heading westbound, did not see the two young boys. “The driver stated he was looking at two men in the other crosswalk,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “He did not see the brothers and knocked them over.” Molendyk said the driver stopped immediately, offered assistance to the kids and was cooperative with police. The boys’ mother also attended the scene. The pair were taken to hospital to be checked out. Neither was seriously injured, though one boy complained of shoulder soreness. The driver of the Durango, a 44-year-old Vernon man, was given a ticket for failing to yield to a pedestrian at a green light.

Terry Fox Run raises $5,600 Thirty-four white doves were released into the air just before the run to recognize the 34th annual Terry Fox Run Sunday morning at Coldstream Park. Two hundred and forty people of all ages walked, ran or rode their bikes through Coldstream to carry on Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope that gained worldwide attention in 1980. Diana Williamson was happy about a successful turnout in her third year organizing the event. “It’s something I enjoy. We have a beautiful location for a beautiful run,” said Williamson, who was too busy planning the event to join the initial start, but added she might go for a walk later. “Like most of us, cancer has affected my family and friends. I was in high school when Terry was doing his run and it touched me. He is an amazing man and the legacy he left is unbelievable.” The event raised
$5,623.60, a little down from its numbers in years past. Bhupinder Jaswal has helped registration for this event for the past 10 years and plans to help out for the 35th running. “I don’t know what it is, but I have such an affinity for him, he is just amazing,” said Jaswal. “His determination and courage with his illness changed his outlook
on life. I watched him on TV each night and I thought it was absolutely amazing for a person that age to think of others and want to make a difference.” Williamson says that the most touching moment of the race was when a little boy came back to the starting line with an envelope that a lady had given him during the run. Inside the envelope was a cheque for $500.

Riding into a new sport
W
ith the languid days of late summer going a bit longer than expected with the teachers’ strike, it’s been a tad of a struggle finding activities for the kids. That would be an understatement, but then hopefully next week our young minions will be at their desks ready to learn. In the meantime, the extended break has allowed my family to explore a new activity. Well, it isn’t exactly that new... Around since the late-’60s, early-‘70s, bicycle motocross, or BMX as it is better known, has grown from the days of mullets, Kristin Froneman upright handlebars and banana seats to an allinclusive sport that does not discriminate on gender, age or ability. And the bikes and uniforms required for the sport have streamlined with the times. Gone are the mullets, replaced by full-face helmets, and light-weight freewheeler (no gears) bikes. It’s a sport my husband embarked on when he was a kid, growing up in Sydney, Australia. In fact, I have a photo of him with his high handle-barred bike, fluffy hair, and fancy patterned, slim-fitting poly-blend pants (he even picked out the fabric, and had his mom sew them up), looking like the cat who ate a canary. (He must have won his race that day.) And now my six-year-old son is hooked on BMX. This is a kid who could barely balance on training wheels last year, was scared of riding, and who now can’t be stopped pedalling mercilessly around the roller coaster dirt track at Vernon’s Ranger Park every week. This is a kid who now sweats profusely in his Darth Vader-like helmet (embossed in a cool design) hours before Monday evening practices and Tuesday night races even begin. It’s really hard to feed him his dinner, but oh well. The races have become our weekly family outing, and the passion for the sport is rather
At rAndoM
infectious even for us watching from the bleachers. It’s quite something to see girls and boys from the age of two on up to 45-plus giving their all. Especially fun is seeing the little legs of the youngest riders scrambling up the hills on those pedal-less strider bikes, and the expert riders catching air over obstacles, and winding around berms so effortlessly, you’d think they were weightless. Also noticeable are how many ponytails are flying under those helmets. It’s the only way you can really gauge who the female riders are, well, except for the short-haired girls and those boys with long hair. Many of the females race in the same motos (heats) as the boys, and I have observed a few crossing the finish line in first place. In fact, there is one rider in particular that my son really looks up to, and she happens to be one of the top female racers for her age group in North America (shout out to Shylo!) Credit has to go to all the volunteers, many of whom are parents, who welcome new people, especially the dazed and confused ones like me, into the club with open arms. And what it does for our kids is what sport should be; not about who wins or loses, but what it does for confidence. An example of this came on my son’s firstever race. Riding on the half-track (which does not involve leaving from the starting gate), he finished the three rounds of motos required to reach third place, and was next presented with this giant trophy. It turns out, new kids receive this kind of encouragement. They may not get giant trophies every race, but they do receive points, and the stickers that state where they’ve placed every week. And no matter how they do, they get tons of high fives from their peers, the expert racers, and the gallery –the best reward. Now racing from the starting gate, the boy is on cloud nine even when he comes in fourth. It almost makes me want to strap on one of those Darth Vader helmets, and hop on a freewheeler, and ride on up into the sunset. Almost.
The candidates are beginning to step up and we applaud them one and all. Several people – incumbents, former councillors and mayors and newbies alike – have already stated they are running for seats in their respective communities. They are willing to put their names on the line and commit to four years of public service for nominal pay and much more than nominal accountability. Of the three levels of government – municipal, provincial and federal – local is the most accountable and most involved in our daily life, thus often the toughest and most criticized of all. However, it’s also an opportunity to make a difference in your community and instead of just criticizing city hall from a distance, it’s about getting your hands dirty and doing some of the heavy lifting that’s necessary to get a community running to the best of its ability. It’s obviously not for everyone, especially the thin-skinned or the faint of heart, but it’s also vitally important and central to our ability to live quality lives on a day-to-day basis. And we encourage anyone thinking of taking the plunge into civic politics to please do so and allow voters a choice in who governs us over the next four years. There’s still plenty of time as nomination documents are now available at your respective community’s civic offices and papers can be filed starting at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 30 and up until Friday, Oct. 10 Further information can be obtained by contacting your respective election officers and you too can be on your way to offering your neighbours a choice in leadership come Nov. 15. It’s time for you to consider standing up with those who have done it before and continue to lead the way.

A challenge to take the time to walk
F
irst of all.....this comes from a genuine experience…It started some months ago…I had been driving my car and the kilometres on it kept on building up. I am low income so saving money is helpful… However this story is a story of how I regained my legs. Some may ask…what? Well here it is…four months ago, I was not able to maintain or insure my vehicle. I would imagine some may find this disturbing…”what no car?”…Well I wish to tell this story and explain as hard as it is after always having access to transportation…this is one of the best times. I have always been challenged via income…but this time around it was good. I found my legs…which means I have been and continue to walk in the local area. When I was younger I always had to walk…however the 20 years with my vehicles made it so it was easy and this is how I lost my legs…not literally…however with the ease of jumping in the vehicle…I would even drive two to three blocks…how awful is that?
wrong priorities A small group of cottage owners have successfully lobbied our provincial government to spend taxpayers’ money to improve what is already a well maintained gravel road to make access to their cottages more convenient. The ‘road improvements’ would remove a 30-metre wide corridor of land from Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park (Kal Park) near Cosens Bay effectively cutting the park area in two and destroying the area’s unique, quiet beauty which is enjoyed by thousands of visitors each year. Kal Park provides critical habitat for native species such as rattlesnakes, and attracts tourists and locals alike for hiking, biking, walking, horse riding or just plain looking at the views. Why does the provincial government think the convenience of a few cottagers is more important than the needs of the thousands who benefit from Kal Park? Why is the provincial government planning to spend our taxpayers’ money to put more of our native species at risk? I’m confused here at the priorities of our government. If we really want to put money

Well it is awful. Sometimes events occur to enlighten us…this has done that. I have found my legs again and have cheerfully traveled this beautiful community and have been walking. I am thankful for friends and family…if I have heavy items or get caught in a rain storm…they have helped.
into a road, let’s rebuild Silver Star Road which services a year-round resort that brings millions of dollars into the local and provincial economy. Silver Star Road is also the only access road for hundreds of year round residents. We all know that B.C. is short of funds, so any moneys our government does have to invest on our behalf should be invested wisely to generate the maximum benefit for the maximum percentage of our population. Improving an already adequate and lightly used road for a few seasonal cottage owners is not my idea of a wise investment. rose Harryman save tHe birds There was just recently a notice on the radio looking for homes for a large number of cats. We listened to the notice and thought about all of the song birds that will lay down their lives once these cats get homes. We feel so strongly that all cats should be kept inside because it is a well known fact that song and other bird numbers are diminishing. There is no reason for a cat to go
outside but many people feel that the cats prefer to be outside. Our cat loves it inside, safe from dogs. As long as they have a box for their waste, they are clean. We urge all future cat owners to not take a cat unless they plan to have it inside the house. For the sake of all of the birds in the world. Judy and bruce vandergucht in agreement Paul Elmont's letter in your paper deserves reply. I could not agree more. Every day we hear about schools and hospitals needing money. We are told in no uncertain terms that we need water system upgrades immediately. We have other infrastructure all around the city crying for attention and upgrades. We are hearing loud noises about the need for a new museum, art gallery and more ice surface, to say nothing about a running track and whatever other items are on a very long wish list. Needless to say, these projects all require money, and nearly any one of them will cost more than we can likely spare.
I feel healthier and lighter. I see this community in a different way and am glad to share this story… Many in our community may look at not having a vehicle as negative…but for me I am glad to remember what it is like to use my legs…I have plans to have a new vehicle in the future…but for me to save my money and my legs…this time I feel is special. I am a writer and with this feel my experiences are happening so I can share this with others. I challenge anyone who knows what I am expressing… in taking time to walk…It’s not only good for a person…but actually can be fun. Best of luck to those who may wish to remember what it is like to walk. I am not suggesting that everyone give up their form of transportation…just remember when we were young and how walking was the norm. I am so thankful for this time and with this I write this article… dahlia senft
Many of the same people making the requests for items on the above wish list are the same people who wring their hands and proclaim that it's too bad their kids can't find work here. What is required is good jobs and a major boost to the economy. Pellet mills, gravel pits and many of the items put quickly down by NIMBYS represent good jobs. These industries and others can run clean, provide good jobs and still make money. Too much traffic and noise near your front door you say? Sorry folks, you can't have it both ways. Cam Clayton great park I am from Calgary, and am visiting your city. I have just spent a delightful couple of hours in your lovely Polson Park. Thank you Vernon for providing such a beautiful place for people to go to. My husband and I enjoyed walking and had a nice picnic on the beautifully kept grounds. We really enjoyed the birdlife too. It was a joy to be there. Thanks again. anita alexander

Extraction bylaw proceeds roger knox Morning Star Staff
If the BX Swan Lake Community Association had its way, there would be no mineral extraction from country residential zones in Regional District of North Okanagan electoral Areas B and C. The association presented its support of a proposed RDNO zoning text amendment bylaw that plans to prohibit all processing activities associated with the conservation, management and extraction of primary forest, mineral and other resource materials on properties zoned country residential in areas B and C only at a public hearing Wednesday. Directors gave the amendment third reading after the 10-minute public hearing. Terri Slobodin, speaking on behalf of the association, said after considerable discussion among the membership, support for the bylaw was unanimous, citing
“We can regulate.”
— Mike Macnabb health and property devaluation concerns. “For most of us, our home and property is our primary asset and financial nest egg necessary for comfortable retirement living,” said Slobodin. “To have the property values of any number of residential properties in a neighbourhood destroyed just to serve the interest of an industrial operation, defies any definition of fair play and common sense.” The association recognized that RDNO’s hands are tied on the matter, as they said mineral extraction in country residential zones is allowed by the provincial ministry of energy and mines. “For the hundreds of area B and C residential property owners who purchased
their properties before this industrial usage was unceremoniously added, the actions of the ministry smack quite decidedly of bullying of the worst governmental kind,” said Slobodin. The association recommended to RDNO that proposed bylaw amendment include a clause that requires every application be subject to public hearing conducted by RDNO to solicit neighbourhood input and assess the physical and financial harm an industrial operation could cause inside a residential neighbourhood. BX resident Terry Donnelly also spoke in support of the bylaw, and felt he had a solution. “I know you can’t ban gravel pits from

country residential, but it might be an idea to set setbacks from existing houses,” said Donnelly. “If somebody wants to put in a gravel pit, they can’t it put it close to another house. It would also help alleviate the problem of property values taking a hit.” The matter of setbacks is being considered in a soil removal and deposit bylaw that is currently before the RDNO board. Opposition for the bylaw amendment came in written form from Klayton and Beckie Mertion, who have had an application for a gravel pit on their BX property voted down by RDNO directors, and from Klayton’s father, Ed Mertion. RDNO planning general manager Rob Smailes read the opposition into the record. Klayton and Beckie Mertion called the proposed bylaw a “moneygrabber.” “Matters of mineral and forestry should be posed to commissions that have more expertise in that particular field of knowledge such as the land commission, ministry of energy and mines and forestry,” said the Mertions, as read by Smailes. Ed Mertion said the bylaw “was in very poor judgement.” “It’s not progress,” he wrote. Director Mike Macnabb said the comments at the public hearing were all valid, and called what the board is going through with the bylaw “a balancing act.” “We can’t prohibit (extraction) which is a desire in country residential, but we can regulate,” he said. The bylaw amendment does not need the approval of the ministry of energy and mines, but does need approval from the ministry of transportation.

“We always work with a core group of volunteers at the centre so it is really nice to see others taking action on their own to help us out.� Regional District of North Okanagan Area F director Jackie Pearase is assisting with the event and said much more money will be needed to get the work complete. “The original estimates came in at over $500,000 and although the job might get done for less, there is still a big gap between what they have and what is still required,� Pearase noted. Verlaan said the centre is a vital regional asset and more money is needed to ensure all the necessary work gets complete. She is hoping to raise $10,000 with the fundraiser. “The work done at the centre has farreaching benefits,� she explained. “The centre enhances local education, strengthens ecosystem awareness and responsibility, boosts salmon stocks and improves recreational fishing opportunities, provides jobs and promotes tourism.� The event will include a delicious salmon dinner, a live auction with some unique items on the block and entertainment. Tickets are $50, which includes a tax receipt for $25, and can be purchased at Tony O’s and Ashton Creek Store in Enderby and Vernon’s Bean Scene Coffee Shop. Tickets and information are also available online at www. kingfishercentre.com or by calling 250-8380282. Online donations are also greatly appreciated from those unable to attend.

The Vernon Exotic and Small Animal Rescue is overwhelmed with Muscovy ducks and is looking for homes for them.
Preventing gang activity in BC ▾ MYTH: The public is powerless against gangs. Reality: Be engaged and part of the solution. If you see something suspicious, whether it’s in a restaurant, mall parking lot, or in an isolated place, please phone 9-1-1 immediately so the police can investigate. Only with a community that cares and stands up to gangs and gang violence will we make a difference so our communities are safer.

Rescue is in need of homes for an abundance of Muscovy ducks. “We rescued a few in the fall and they bred and hatched all their babies this spring,” said Ren Hunt, who cares for abandoned exotic animals with Mitchell Neufeld. With more than 60 of the ducks to care for, the couple is spending about $10 a day on food and having to change out the water twice a day due to the numbers. Therefore they are only asking $5 a duck to help recoup some of the costs. The ducks produce a good amount of eggs for eating and the rescue centre is also willing to sell them for food. Anyone interested can visit vesarescue. weebly.com or call 778475-5222.

Group hosts event targeting low-energy city
There are lots of GOOD flooring stores in the North Okanagan/Shuswap – BUT, on a GOOD, BETTER, BEST scale, wouldn't you rather deal with
THE BEST?
Morning Star Staff
Vernon in Transition is inviting local citizens to think about how they can work together to become a more resilient, lower-energy community. The gathering will be held Oct. 4 at Trinity United Church, 3300 Alexis Park Dr., and everyone, including children, are welcome. “Come share ideas about food, transportation, housing, the local economy, alternative energy, nature conservation, and other related interests,” said Bill Darnell, with Vernon in Transition. Activities will start at 2 p.m. with an open space. “This activity is designed to harness the creative power and capacities of large groups of people,” said Darnell. “During the open space session there will be an artist-led, children and young people’s workshop, which will create musical instruments and costumes from recycled items.” Those attending will have the chance to present and listen to others with similar interests, added Darnell. “If you don’t have a specific idea, come and listen and perhaps be inspired. It is not our intention to create new organizations, where groups already exist. Rather, we want to act as the glue between people and networks to increase our collective capacity to innovate, and adapt,” he said. “Forming meaningful connections, both to each other, as well as to the place we live in, is essential in these changing times.” Following the open space, there will be a celebration at 6 p.m. with a dinner featuring Vernon’s local harvest. A variety show displaying the talents of local musicians, dancers and storytellers will conclude the evening. Vernon in Transition is the organizing group behind events such as the Repair Café and Handmade Holiday. “We are part of an informal, global transition network. Our purpose is to encourage and support Greater Vernon becoming a more resilient, low-energy community with a healthy, vibrant, local culture and economy,” said Darnell. “We hope to draw people together who work on community issues in diverse ways, whether through business, the arts, government and/or through advocacy groups.” Those planning to attend are asked to e-mail Vernon in Transition at VernonInTransition@ gmail.com. An optional donation at the door on a sliding scale up to $30 is suggested.

A Scottish deerhound shows its speed at the Whippet Club of B.C. trials in Lavington, which take place Sept. 27 and 28.
Racing trials open to all canines JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Let the experts handle your Pardon and US Travel Waiver Applications
Local dogs are getting a chance to take to the race track in what is typically a whippet-only event. The Whippet Club of B.C. fall trials get underway in Lavington Sept. 27 and 28. But this time the event is opening up to all breeds wanting to try the sport. “Saturday, for the first time ever we’re going to give visiting dogs a chance to try,” said Verena von Eichborn, local organizer, of the 3 p.m. open races. “We already have a couple registered.” Those interested must pre-register before 2 p.m. Saturday with von Eichborn at the site, which is located at 5290 Reid Road. The cost is $5 per hound. “The dogs love it and people are quite often astonished,” she said, adding that if there is interest the open races will continue at trials. The regular runs, where you can see some of the speediest breeds take to the track, take place between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Both days will also include a fundraising jam and jelly sale. There are no concessions on site but a port-apotty is available. To get to the track from Vernon, take Highway 6 east and turn right onto Park Lane in Lavington. Turn left onto Learmouth at the T-intersection and follow the winding hill to Reid Road. Turn left on Reid, which turns into Bluenose Road at a sharp right corner. Just after Whitevale Road turns to the left will be Langford Road, a gravel road, on the right. The field entrance is 200 metres on the right on Langford (it is the back entrance to the Reid Road property.)

We also specialize in Digital Cardscan Fingerprinting for Employment Applications, Immigration, Health Canada, and more. You can have your results from Ottawa in as little as one week!
Tragically, every year in BC countless dogs suffer and die after being thrown from the back of pickup trucks. Consequently, your pet should never ride unrestrained in the back or body of any vehicle. There are three simple options: 1. Put the dog in the vehicle with you. Use a crate or dog seatbelt as a restraint, or 2. Secure your dog in a kennel fastened to the centre of the truck, or 3. Secure your dog with a harness and short-tether leash to ensure safety from strangulation and death.

B.C. launches online tool for those on assistance Morning Star Staff
British Columbians now have even easier access to their personal income and disability assistance information when they want it with the provincewide launch of My Self Serve. My Self Serve is a way for people who receive income and disability assistance to access their personal information online, including their monthly cheque amount, status of their monthly report (stub), annual earnings exemption limits, as well as receiving important reminders and messages from the ministry of social development and social innovation. My Self Serve offers people more flexibility in how, when and where they access ministry services - increasing convenience and independence. My Self Serve builds on the best practices and information gathered from the ministry’s income assistance online application tool and through stakeholder consultations to determine the types of online services that best meet the needs of British Columbians. This web-based tool was introduced in phases in early 2014 to a limited number of users in Abbotsford and Prince George, was expanded in August and now is available throughout the province. The ministry consulted and incorporated feedback from staff, advocacy groups, and the people government serves throughout the planning and implementation stages.

Star extends summer season
Come Join Us…
Morning Star Staff
Although lifts officially stopped loading for the summer downhill biking and alpine hiking season last Sunday, Silver Star Mountain Resort has announced the extension of its cross-country mountain biking and valley hiking season until Sept. 28. Already close to a 20 per cent increase in visits over last summer, the resort is continuing to host season pass and day ticket holders on select, maintained and patrolled lower cross-country bike trails and permitted hiking trails. Over the seasons, Silver Star has continued to gain momentum as one of Canada’s most sought after summer resort destinations for mountain biking, hiking and family adventure. To accommodate the response, Silver Star’s accommodation providers, family-friendly saloon servers and trail maintenance staff will continue to offer their services and welcome guests for the remainder of the month. Kicking off the 2014 riding season with the addition of over 20-kilometers of new downhill and cross-country mountain biking trails, the Silver Star Bike Park was a massive draw for all levels of riders including some of the biggest names in professional riding today, such as top ranking World Cup competitors Troy Brosnan and Aaron Gwin. Further affirming the growing awareness of the Silver Star Bike Park is the International Mountain Biking Association’s (IMBA) recently awarded Silver Ride Centre Status, presented to Silver Star for their outstanding design of a large-scale mountain bike facility offering something for every rider. Upon his return from the IMBA World Summit in Steamboat Springs, Colorado this summer, Ian Galbraith, summer business manager commented: “I’m confident that the resort’s commitment to invest more than $250,000 over two years into expanding the bike park played a key role in gaining Silver Star this prestigious designation.” Competitors gathering from across the Pacific Northwest for the largest BC Cup of the season shared similar sentiments. With sanctioning for the first time as a NW Cup race, the July event attracted riders from Washington and Oregon, seeking points towards the overall NW Cup title. “We’re now reflecting on one of our best summer seasons in history,” said Anne Haight, director of marketing and sales at Silver Star. “We’re extremely pleased with the response to our new terrain and the ongoing loyalty of our visitors. While avid mountain bikers were riding in the park, we had a lot of families come out to explore our cross-country trails and ride our scenic SkyChair to higher alpine hiking trails. “The resort was buzzing from June to September and we expect the same again for summer 2015 as the word spreads of our terrain, awards and friendly community.” But it’s not just about sports enthusiasts at Silver Star. Over the Aug. 9-10 weekend, Silver Star’s Summer Wine and Food Festival also drew a record crowd. More than 400 wine and food enthusiasts flocked to the resort for the outdoor festival and to enjoy the resort’s collaboration with renowned chef and successful Vancouver restaurateur, David Hawksworth. The festival was part of a larger strategic plan to expand Silver Star’s food and beverage division, which includes the hiring announcement of Silver Star’s first year-round executive chef, Brendan Blair. Blair leads the charge in enhancing the dining experience at Silver Star. His menus offer visitors the opportunity to experience some of the finest food and wine purveyors found throughout the Okanagan. After Sept. 28, Silver Star will switch gears in preparation of the 2014 / 2015 winter season.

News Direct to Smelter – Precious Metals Roadshow coming to Armstrong and Vernon Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin will be in Armstrong and Vernon September 24th to 27th during a roadshow making its way through the Okanagan. You can bring your gold, silver, coins and Canadian paper money to the Seniors Activity Centre in Armstrong or the Schubert Centre in Vernon between 10am and 6pm each day. No appointment is required. Barry Dick is a precious metals buyer and President of Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin. “Ursa Major has the unique advantage of dealing direct with a smelter� said Dick. “That allows us to cut out one or even two middlemen. Ursa Major purchases gold and silver from other gold buyers, pawn shops, jewellers and jewellery makers as well as from the general public.� Recent price increases of precious metals have created lots of “gold buyers� including mail in companies. Many of those buyers offer pennies on the dollar to unsuspecting customers and are limited to what they buy, choosing to ignore silver and coins and only purchase gold. Ursa Major analyzes your gold, silver and coins while you watch, with the process explained to you in detail. Coins with numismatic value are set aside from those with a ‘melt’ value. Items thought to contain gold will be for hallmarks, and then confirmed using precise testing that is done while you watch. Then a cash offer is made and you decide to sell or not.

Coughlin cues comeback Oiler draft postpones NCAA start TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff
The Vipers’ most recognizable Bostonian has returned to Vernon for a hopeful victory lap with the defending BCHL Interior Division champions. Liam Coughlin planned on attending Boston University to play for the five-time NCAA champion Terriers this fall. “It is my dream school. I don’t know how it’s looking anymore, I would love to go there if I could. Right now I’m just talking to other schools,” said Coughlin. Towards the end of August, Coughlin needed a place to play hockey, so he decided to return to the Okanagan. “This is a good situation for me here. It’s nice here, I like it and I am glad to be back,” said Coughlin. Away from the rink, Coughlin is taking general studies at UBCO to upgrade his marks so he can enter a business program next fall. “I didn’t think at first he would be back, but I talked to him towards the end of summer and he told me he missed this place,” said Vipers’ teammate T.J. Dumonceaux. “He’s a great player and a great skater. I’m happy he is back.” Interim head coach Kevin Kraus is thrilled to have his top
winger back. “We are expecting big things out of Liam this year.” This summer, Coughlin spent a lot of time with his friends on the beach, watched the Boston Red Sox nuke their season and witnessed a dream come true. One of the most exciting moments of the 6-foot-3, South Boston product’s life was when the Edmonton Oilers selected him in the fifth round, 130th overall, in the NHL entry draft in Philadelphia. “It was unbelievable. I was playing in a street hockey tourney in my hometown when someone yelled out that I got drafted by the Oilers. I left the game, saw my family that was there and it was so amazing,” grinned Coughlin. He is now unsigned property of the Oilers, who won’t offer him a contract until his college days are behind him. “Right now, they want me to go to school and be comfortable. They continue to check in on me and track my progress,” said Coughlin. Last year’s Viper Rookie of the Year supplied 18 goals and 45 points in 53 games. This season, it might look like Coughlin is playing Xbox on easy mode. “I want a lot more points than
last year, maybe double them,” laughed Coughlin. “I can’t wait for the season to start.” He won’t have to wait long. The Vipers open their regular season this afternoon against the Cowichan Valley Capitals in Chilliwack at the B.C. Hockey League Showcase at the Prospera Centre. It also marks his 20th birthday. “I don’t think I have ever played on my birthday before. Hopefully I get a few goals as a birthday present; it is a big game too,” said Coughlin, who shares no relation with new Viper forward and Fairport, N.Y. product Johnny Coughlin. The Vipers appear to have a legitimate scoring punch each time their first line steps onto the ice. Coughlin is slated to play beside other freshfaced Americans Luke Voltin (Blaine, Minn.) and Thomas Aldworth (Keller, Texas). Aldworth and Voltin looked Forward Liam Coughlin jokes around with very impressive in their exhipractice Wednesday at Kal Tire Place. bition games. try with Aldworth after the two “It’s huge having him going into another team’s building. went to the same prep school in He is a marked man now and he Massachusetts and played for the has to come out twice as hard and Junior Bruins.

In between attending pro sports games, the two Vernon products will be playing college hockey for the Lindenwood University Lions in St. Charles, a 15-minute drive over the bridge from St. Louis. “Everybody wears something from the Blues, Rams or Cardinals, so it’s a a great sports city and it’s a lot of fun down here,” said Spraggs, 22, a transfer from the Central Oklahoma Bronchos. Spraggs led the Bronchos with 26 goals and 41 points last year as a sophomore. He rang up 14 goals and 27 points in

his freshman season. “I got a better scholarship offer and it’s a great fit for me,” said Spraggs. “It’s a very hockey-oriented school and coach (Rick Zombo) played in the NHL for 12 years so he brings a lot of knowledge and experience.” Spraggs, a 5-foot-9, 180-pounder, will likely start the season on left wing Riley Spraggs as the Lions face the Adrian College Bulldogs of Eastern Michigan tonight. He played 65 Junior A games for the Prince George Spruce Kings and Drumheller Dragons and another 99 Junior B tilts before signing with Oklahoma. Spraggs, who is studying exercise science, will wear No. 24.
“Riley is a perennial goal scorer who played the last two seasons for a quality program that I really respect,” said Zombo, after inking Spraggs. “Anyone who can score 20 goals in a collegiate season brings a certain skill set that is difficult to teach.” Hails, who turns 20 in late October, was an all-star net detective with the Michael Hails Comox Valley Glacier Kings last year, earning MVP in the Vancouver Island Junior B League as the Kings lost to the Peninusla Panthers in the playoff finals. A former Viper defenceman mentioned Hails to the Lions.

Sun mourn loss of linebacker Morning Star Staff
Okanagan Sun linebacker JT Fernandez died Thursday at the age of 21. “This is a tragic day for our organization,” said team president Paul Carson. “JT was a wonderful person and a standout on the football field. Our hearts and prayers go out to his family.” Details of Fernadez’ death will be released at the appropriate time. Fernandez was one of the best linebackers in
Sun history. In two seasons with the Junior A football Sun, the Cloverdale native made 47 solo tackles, three sacks, two fumbles, two forced fumbles, two interceptions and blocked two kicks. The Sun game scheduled for Saturday night against the Westshore Rebels at the Apple Bowl will continue as planned at 7 p.m. The players will be wearing special stickers on their helmets in memory of Fernandez.

Duo earn Elite status TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff
A pair of Super Bowl champions selected a pair of Vernon football players as some of the top athletes at the Sports International Football Camp in Seattle. “It was really great to have that caliber coaches and NFL players looking at you and helping us out,” said Kitzman. Carson Labrecque and Tye Kitzman were selected to the Gridiron Elite Club at the football camp led by former NFLers Lawyer Milloy and Bruce Irvin. Milloy was a safety and played from 1996-2010 when he retired with the Seattle Seahawks. He won Super Bowl XXXVI with the New England Patriots. Irvin has been a linebacker with the Seahawks since 2012 and was a member of last year’s Super Bowl championship squad. “It was an amazing opportunity to work under players and coaches like that who have won at the highest level,” said Labrecque. Labrecque is set to enter his junior year at VSS. The 6-foot-1, 220-pound linebacker is built like a house. One of Labrecque’s hobbies away from the gridiron is body building. He can bench 275 pounds and runs the 40-yard dash in 4.97 seconds. “I just really like football. I like playing with aggression and getting to rip someone’s head off,” said Labrecque. While he is busy trying to take off oppo-
nents’ heads, the coaches tried to work on him keeping his own. “A big thing I took away from the camp was trying to keep your attitude in check and always striving to do better within myself,” said Labrecque. One quarterback who will have to watch out for Labrecque is Kitzman. The two grew up playing minor football together, but now attend different high schools. “You gotta watch out for him; he is really aggressive and he flies to the ball,” said Kitzman. Kitzman is the pivot for the Maroons as he awaits his senior year. The 6-foot-2, lean quarterback is a huge fan of the New Orleans Saints and Drew Brees. “They are always looking good. Their offence has so many different looks and different options,” he said. Not a bad man to idolize, Brees owns a plethora of passing records and has a Super Bowl ring. Unlike Brees, Kitzman likes to make plays with his feet, throwing on the run and scrambling to pick up a first down. It is that kind of athleticism that saw him named to the Gridiron Elite Club for being one of the top performers at the camp. The Gridiron Elite Club will now send Kitzman’s information to more than 2,500 universities and football coaches in North

Now that the teachers’ strike appears over, the Steve Nash youth basketball camp will hit the court for its sixth season in Vernon. The camp is a Basketball B.C. initiative that assists local coaches and volunteers in developing basketball skills for youth in the community. Beginning with just a handful of coaches and participants five years ago, the program in Vernon has grown quickly into an organization with more than 30 coaches and 300 participants. The clinics, taught in local elementary school gyms, offer fundamentals and skills of basketball in a structured and fun environment. “Our season will start Oct. 3 and run until Nov. 21,” said program director Johnal Lee. “The cut off for registration is midnight, Sept. 26. We can sure use more volunteers to help coach.” As a non-profit organization, all camp staff and administration are volunteers, which makes for affordable registration costs. Included in the fee are insurance, Basketball B.C. membership, Steve Nash reversible youth jersey, basketball, Gatorade squeeze bottle, medal and prizes. Kids in kindergarten through Grade 5 will play co-ed hoops Fridays for $100. Grade 6-8 boys and girls will go Fridays for $125. Register at www.vernonbasketball.com.
Lions looking for big year Continued from A24
“Brad Cook, who was coaching in Saanich (Braves), recommended me after asking about my plans. I was on a USHL tryout with Youngstown in Madison (Wisconsin) and the coach (Zombo) drove up to Madison and stayed for the last half of camp and watched me.” Hails is getting a partial scholarship in the Central States Collegiate Hockey League’s Division I. Some of the better known universities that compete in the 20-team Division I final tourney include Arizona, Iowa State, Oklahoma and West Virginia. Others like Lindenwood, Davenport and Minot State are considered lower profile schools, but all three have won a national title in the last five years. The Lions have played in the championship game in five of the last seven years, winning two national titles. The Lions graduated just one senior from a team that finished 13-20-2 last year. “It’s gone well so far,” said Hails. “We’re carrying three goalies so it looks like the returnee and I will be battling for the games each week. The third goalie is a junior. We lost 2-1 to the St. Louis Junior Blues in a exhibition game and I had 20 shots and got a shutout playing the second half.”

Hails says the shots coming his way are much sharper and harder to read than he’s used to. And like Spraggs, he’s high on Zombo. “On the ice, he’s like no other coach I’ve had. He’s high demand for the players and makes sure you are accountable because he knows we should win this year.” Hails is taking sports management and will put on No. 29 tonight. He is rooming with Summerland’s Graham Zagrodney, the only other Canadian on the team. Zagrodney was named the Top Defenceman in the Island league with the Victoria Cougars last year, posting eight goals and 64 points. On the Lions’ new direction, Zombo said on the school’s web site: “The simple fact of the matter is that we had a losing record last year and we needed to change the culture of our hockey program. We feel that we have signed some strong character guys who are good hockey players that will really help re-energize our program.” New recruit Alexander Carlsson from Stockholm, Sweden, played forward for the St. Louis Junior Blues last season after one year with Mora J20 in the Sweden SuperElite league.

Virtual communication
T
hey live in the same house and all members of the family have their own personal phone, a smart phone. Smart phones allow people to connect and interact, pretty much non-stop, about everything and anything. I know of 6 and 7 year olds who have their own smart phone (biting tongue). Studies have shown that children who spend a lot of time on smart phones have a harder time identifying emotion than those who don’t. We have come a long way from Alexander Graham Bell’s invention in 1876. Wouldn’t he just be gobsmacked? I remember pickCarole Fawcett ing up the phone as a child and having someone at the other end of the line, called an operator - say “number please?” (I lived in the northern wilds of B.C. – it’s nothing to do with my age) You’d give them the number and they would connect you and then half (or more) of your community would get to listen in to your conversation on a ‘party line’. Not long after that, we had dial phones and private lines – so we could discuss private things in private. Now, your phone is a portable internet resource and it’s not so private anymore. From chatting on the phone in the dairy aisle at the local grocery store about what type of cheese to buy, to walking down the street seemingly talking to ourselves (for those who have the ear thingys, a.k.a. blue tooth) to phoning the person who lives in your own house – (when you both are in the house) it might appear that we talk non-stop about things that might be considered superficial. Someone walked by me at a local grocery the other day and said “How are you today?” Not realizing they were using blue tooth, I replied with a smile “fine thanks” and then got an odd look. I giggled. He didn’t. Sigh. You can look up information by accessing the internet on your phone, you can keep track of your appointments on your phone and you can send text messages. Ah yes, you can text. You can have arguments via text (and you do). You can express undying love via text (yep – you do this too). You can break up with someone via text (backbone… where art thou?). You could even propose marriage via text (please - say no – this could be a ‘hint’ of intimacy issues). You can say rude and disrespectful things via text. There is a sense of near anonymity when texting. Texting has no emotion. Despite the emoticons that you can attach - there is no face to look at, respond to, care about, and no eyes to connect with. It is ironic that in this era of instant communication, our conversations with one another have become robotic. So, virtual communication is difficult, masking the emotion we may feel. While it was originally efficient in the workplace, we have lost our personal ‘voice’ along the way. Words are very powerful and their meaning can have a beautiful rhythmic energy. But the world of texting has created word short cuts, so this means that we are using less words to express ourselves and as a result our text communication can come across as being sharp and uncaring. So, added to the lack of facial expression and
Boomer talk
voice intonation is a general lack of softened feeling when we text (or e-mail). It is worrisome, as I believe it is a form of avoidance of social interaction. Much easier to type words into a small machine and send them off, as opposed to talking face to face to another person or even voice to voice on the phone. It allows us to avoid the personal responsibility of our communication with others and it can isolate us. There is a time and a place for cells, texting, email, etc. But check in with yourself and observe your family. Is your communication virtual or real? You will feel the difference.

Sudoku IMPLANT SUPPORTED DENTURE
If your dentures shift while chewing or talking and you are tired of those embarrasing moments, consider dental implants for stabilization.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Love is in the stars. You may be feeling exuberant, but don’t be careless. Overspending and overindulgence are not a replacement for discipline and discretion. Entice others with your charm, not your money.
Imagine your denture snapping into place, feeling solid and secure. Often a new denture is not necessary. Your existing denture can be made to fit your new implants.

Penner searches for the soul in folk
AlessAndrA WoodWArd Special to The Morning Star
Cam Penner is one of those musicians who can haunt you long after the music has stopped. There is something up-front and present about his lyrics and the gravelly tone of his voice – the words sink right into that place you thought was untouched, which is exactly his intent. For folk music to ring true, the artist cannot simply regurgitate worn-out songs; they must live what their music is meant to portray, and in this way, Penner is one of the most authentic purveyors of folk music around today. Locals can see, hear and feel for themselves when the Vernon Folk-Roots Music Society presents Penner at the Vernon Army Navy Airforce Club’s Spitfire Lounge Sept. 27. With a soulful, honest sound, Penner conveys the dual nature of tragedy and hope that is intrinsic to a life well lived. There are equal parts past experience, present mindfulness, and future dreaming that meld together in the musical tales he reveals on stage. Penner says he is inspired by the people who get up day to day and show their strength by surviving, and even thriving, through everything life has to throw at them. It is their raw honesty that inspires him to write and perform as he does, because those are the stories that matter. Penner also reveals that his time spent working as a janitor also inspired his music. “I would listen to the jangle of keys beat against my thigh as I moved that mop back and forth,” he said. “The beat would be different every time, and it never failed to strike something in me that I couldn’t get out of my head. I would sing that beat until I got home and could get it out into song.”

Cam Penner is the next artist to perform for the Vernon Folk-Roots Music Society, Saturday, Sept. 27 at the ANAF Club’s Spitfire Lounge. The resulting sound is uniquely his. From his roots in a small Canadian Mennonite community, to his experiences in the unfiltered, rough-hewn world of homeless havens, soup kitchens, and women’s shelters, Penner uses the sometimes brutal, sometimes beautiful marrow of life to infuse his lyrics and music with feeling. He does this by refusing to shy away from the spectrum of light and dark, from memories of loneliness and seclusion, from hopes and dreams kindled on cold nights, or from being vulnerable in front of an audience of strangers. All of these elements continue to inform his own life and artistic expression, as well as inspire others to be mindful of the message contained within the medium. “Being uninhibited on stage is important, and has become easier as I get older,” he said. “Honesty and vulnerability are important
parts of my message, and my way of relating with the audience. Not everyone will like what I sing, but if they feel something, anything, I will have done what I want to do.” One does not depart a Penner performance without some stirring of ennui, or joy, or grief, or humour, because he succeeds in reminding us that we are all traveling on the same road, no matter what our circumstances. In this way, artists such as Penner and his musical cohort, Jon Wood, remind us of what it really means to experience being human. Penner and Wood began collaborating artistically about eight years ago, and have been touring together for the last six. “The challenge is for two people to create a symphony of sound,” Penner says of their collaboration on stage. “And it happens
with us, because there is floor stomping, and ghosts in the background, and music, and creation. There is passion.” Penner and Wood share a common quirk of abstaining from listening to their own genre of folk music, in order to not be unduly influenced by sounds they may not consider authentic to their own voices. Instead, Penner says he enjoys the sounds of soul, Motown, and underground hip hop (perhaps a residual influence from his time spent in Chicago.) Some of these sounds have wended their way into his latest album To Build a Fire, released in 2013. His fifth album, Fire shows a steady progression of depth, musical enlightenment, and rugged honesty from his former releases. Penner’s 2011 album, Gypsy Summer, was nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award after debuting at #16 on the folk Billboard charts. Those songs, along with his latest release, have garnered him a loyal following, especially in the U.K. and Europe, but the time spent crossing our own expansive country has paid off as well.

First Nations author opens Vernon Writers’ Showcase at Bean Scene Morning Star Staff
A new writers’ showcase is brewing upstairs in one of Vernon’s popular coffee houses. Starting Saturday at 2 p.m. on the second floor of the Bean Scene, the showcase opens with a reading by Canadian author Frank Christopher Busch. Busch will read from his new novel, Grey-Eyes (Fernwood, 2014). “This Bean Scene’s Writers’
Showcase will be the first of three this fall,” said local author/ poet John Lent, who will act as host at all three readings, and promises them to be Frank Busch “superb happenings.” Busch is a member of the
Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation and grew up in northern Manitoba. He has spent his professional life working with First Nations businesses, non-profits and governments at the band, regional tribal council, provincial, national and international levels. He currently lives in Westbank First Nation in the Okanagan. “With his novel Grey Eyes, Frank Busch taps into the traditional in a way I’ve not seen

before,” said Joseph Boyden, author of The Orenda, winner of CBC Canada Reads 2014. “At once historical and fantastical, Grey Eyes reclaims some of our most powerful stories with authenticity and with heart and with that bit of magic that brings all of it to such beautiful life. Busch is amongst the new generation of voices so vital to our country.” The next writers’ showcase (date TBA) will feature a read-

Arts Actor takes long walk from Mandela No Good Deed
C
olin (Idris Elba) is a “malignant narcissist” who has spent the last five years in prison after being suspected of murdering five ex-girlfriends, but having only been convicted for an unrelated manslaughter. After being denied parole, Colin escapes during his ride back to jail. Once free, he quickly finds his last ex-girlfriend, whom he feels deserves to die for not writing any letters to him while incarcerated. When a car accident during a storm makes Colin an unintentional guest at the home of Terri (Taraji P. Henson), she must do all she can to defend herself and her two young children from a bad, bad man. But there’s more to the story than meets the eye, as this particular home invasion is not a coincidence. We say, “No Good Deed is a pretty tense thriller, unless you start thinking about it.” TAYLOR: So, if you’re in the mood to see a woman get terrorized and fight back, this is the film for you. Just don’t expect it to make much sense. I feel a bit conned by No Good Deed because as I was watching it, despite it being a bit on the nose, I got sucked in and found palpable tension. Then, by the conclusion, I was rooting for Terri to win the day and protect her family. If No Good Deed has a noticeable selling feature, it’s that Terri is a strong female character that fights back every chance she gets. Yes, she’s the victim, but one

with options. I left the theatre feeling I had witnessed something effective, but its effectiveness is tenuous and built upon faulty logic that I only realized later, after thinking about these character’s motivations. HOWE: Well, it certainly was a roller-coaster of a ride with its ups and downs. I did enjoy about the first hour and 10 minutes of it, then it just repeated itself over and over again. By that I mean, Colin finds Terri and keeps her captive; Terri fights and escapes; Colin chases Terri and catches her again, and the merry go round keeps on turning. There are a few flaws in the movie that made me scratch my head, which is a pity. If the filmmakers had looked at it closer and made amends, it could have been a very good thriller.
TAYLOR: That’s the thing, audiences should be able to enjoy the film and have the characters motivations make sense, but in order to achieve the twist (that Mr. Howe and I can’t divulge without spoiling the movie,) information needs to be withheld. It is that information that causes the breakdown of the film. Combined with a ridiculously cornball ending, what you are left with is a taut film about a nasty home invasion that turns into a vendetta, for reasons that require the audience to fill in the blanks. It’s pretty easy to fill in those blanks, but we shouldn’t have to.
Screen GemS ProductionS
Idris Elba, who earned acclaim as Nelson Mandela in last year’s Long Walk to Freedom, plays an unstable escaped convict in No Good Deed. HOWE: I thought the performances were good, especially from Elba as the psychotic Colin. He did come
across as Mr. Nice Guy, with a crazed wicked streak when things don’t go his way. The other thing that I did enjoy was the music. It was very tense and provided an eerie feeling of foreboding. – Howe gives No Good Deed 2 golf trips out of 5. – Taylor gives it 2.5 shovels to the face out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.
EDGE OF ETERNITY EDGE OF ETERNITY is the sweeping, passionate conclusion to Ken Follett’s extraordinary historical epic, The Century Trilogy. Throughout these books, Follett has followed the fortunes of five intertwined families – American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh – as they make their way through the twentieth century. Now they come to one of the most tumultuous eras of all: the enormous social, political, and economic turmoil of the 1960s through the 1980s, from civil rights, assassinations, mass political movements and Vietnam to the Berlin Wall, the Cuban Missile Crisis, presidential impeachment, revolution – and rock and roll.

U2 deserves some praise
T
U2: Songs of Innocence
itles are everything and U2 references William Blake to reflect on their own past as they point a way to their future on Songs of Innocence. The Danger Mouse (Brian Burton)-produced album is a confident and emotional drive through U2 land as they reflect and interpret inspirations. Some tracks are mysterious like California (There is No End to Love) with its pseudo Beach Boys intro, while Volcano is a tough update of the band’s New Wave roots. U2 has a vast catalogue of songs, sounds and eras and going back to go forward is the reason for Songs of Innocence. Dean Gordon-Smith A direct autobiographical account of youthful inspiration is the choppy The Miracle (of Joey Ramone). The song is a pacesetter and the tracks that follow are filtered through the clear-eyed collective lens of the band – they keep groove and atmosphere sealed together. Bono isn’t preachy or pontificating and his reflective stance reveals how strong and endearing his vocal is. He and the band are locked in and it stirs emotions to hear that familiar sound like an interesting old friend that you’ve always felt comfortable with. But the comfort isn’t complacency. There aren’t any epic anthems, and The Edge’s guitar sound (the stamp of U2) has shifted from ringing echoes to terse overdrive and fuzz. Iris (Hold Me Close) is straight ahead rock that reaches back to Achtung Baby but updates that dense atmosphere. The hallmarks are there: driving beat, ringing harmonies and the urgent thrum of the music. Yeah, they still gaze skyward and use minor chords. Danger Mouse has shone a light on Bono’s voice and clarified the reverb-heavy murk around it. U2 is a band that requires significant consideration during production and Mouse and his team clean up. The band checks in with their alter-ego techno side on experimental tracks Sleep Like a Baby Tonight and This is Where You Can Reach Me Now. Bono sounds mellow, even introspective and the group leaves angst behind as they go for texture and mood. The Edge’s masterful use of sound effects is taken to a sparse, raw zone that colours the songs with a new vocabulary. It’s their “blue period.” Songs of Innocence is an inspired walk through U2’s reason for being a band. Nothing’s blatantly obvious but the signposts are there. The group looked at their past and the observations freed them to make a propulsive album that has a panoramic surface. They sound passionate, interested and they transcend trends.

Barney Bentall, left, Jim Byrnes and John Mann perform for the first time together as part of a tour that brings them to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre’s for its 13th Birthday Bash, Sunday, Sept. 28 at 7:30 p.m.
Concert features B.C. legends John Mann forges ahead to perform with Barney Bentall and Jim Byrnes despite diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer’s disease Morning Star Staff
Fans will have something to live for when three of B.C.’s prominent and lasting musicians grace the Vernon Performing Arts Centre for the first time together, Sunday, Sept. 28. Here to be a part of the centre’s 13th Birthday Bash, Barney Bentall, Jim Byrnes and John Mann, who have more than 25 albums, multiple Juno Awards, and countless tours between them, will perform an engaging mix of their music, from folk to roots to rockin’ blues. The concert comes on the recent news that Mann, front man of B.C. party band Spirit of the West, has been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s disease. Hot off the heels of his most recent album release, The Waiting Room, Mann, 51, made his diagnosis public through a statement published Sept. 8. When reached by the Performing Arts Centre on behalf of The Morning Star, Mann said that he was not feel-
ing up to doing interviews at this time, however, in his public statement, he said that he didn’t want to spend any more energy trying to hide his symptoms and will continue to make music and do shows, with the aid of an iPad to help him with the lyrics. “I will continue to write and tour, because this is what I do and what I love,” he said. Mann also recognized his bandmates from Spirit of the West for their support. “My Spirit of the West band mates have circled me with care and we will forge ahead as we’ve been doing the last 30-some odd years with humour and friendship, playing our hearts out,” he said. On stage with Mann will be legendary singer-guitarist Bentall, who with his band, The Legendary Hearts, has recorded several platinum singles including Something to Live For, House of Love (is Haunted), and Come Back to Me as well as five gold and platinum albums. After a 10-year hiatus from
music, where he raised cattle on his ranch in Clinton, Bentall relaunched his career as a solo artist performing his unique blend of blues, folk and rock, and also leading the Grand Cariboo Opry throughout B.C. Byrnes’ history goes back to his days growing up in one of the homelands of the blues, St. Louis, Mo. He began playing music at the age of five, and started singing and playing blues guitar at 13. Over the course of his 50-year career as a musician, Byrnes has amassed considerable recognition for his talents. He has received four Maple Blues Awards, three Juno Awards, two Canadian Folk Music Awards, and a Western Canadian Music Award for his solo albums, and has been inducted into the B.C Entertainment Hall of Fame. Many also know him as an actor who has appeared on toonumerous-to-mention TV and movie roles, highlights including television’s Wiseguy and Highlander series, and his national variety show The Jim Byrnes Show. Tickets for Bentall, Byrnes and Mann are $40 for adults, $37 for seniors, and $35 for students. To purchase tickets, call the Ticket Seller at 250-549-7469 or get them online at www.ticketseller.ca.

The search begins for Bebe For The Morning Star
Bebe the bunny needs your help. She went missing Sept. 12 in the Alexis Park area of Vernon and it is hoped that someone has seen her and can contact her owner/guardian, Maurie Deaton, to come and bring her home. Bebe is quite a small rabbit, about 10 inches long and weighs two to three pounds. She is a mottled brown colour with whitish legs and underbelly. “Bebe’s most striking feature is her very long legs, which make her look like a jack rabbit when she hops/ runs,” said Deaton. “This is what will hopefully make people notice her and call to give me her location.” Bebe’s story started four and a half years ago, when she was brought to the Vernon Rabbit Rescue (VRR) as a tiny, one-week-old baby bunny. A Labrador retriever had brought Bebe home in his mouth. She didn’t even have her eyes open yet and should not have been out of the nest. Unfortunately, there weren’t any nursing rabbit mothers who could foster Bebe, so she was hand-fed kitten milk by Deaton, founder of VRR. “Very few baby bunnies that age survive without their mothers,” said Deaton.
“Against all odds, Bebe not only survived, but thrived and bonded strongly with her new ‘human mum.’ “She spends a lot of time snuggling with me inside my robe, like a joey kangaroo.” Deaton said Bebe is a curious and inquisitive animal that literally leaps before she looks. “She just has to get into everything to check things out and that has gotten her into some pretty tough spots. “The first night that she arrived at VRR, Bebe managed to get out of the basket she was placed in, then off the bed and was finally found in a closet stuck between the dresser and the wall.” Since then Bebe has had some other adventures which has led to her being found in or behind bookcases, furnaces and even air returns. She has been nicknamed Houdini and Magellan for her ability to find new places to disappear to. However, Bebe has never actually been outside and has no “street smarts.” Her curiosity and adventurous spirit could lead to her being injured or killed by cats, dogs, hawks, coyotes, bobcats and cars. If she can be located, Deaton can put out some humane traps to capture Bebe before she gets into any more trouble. She could be anywhere

Vernon hosts Buddhist event
Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Buddhist Temple is hosting the BC Jodo Shinshu Buddist Temple Federation’s 60th Anniversary Convention and AGM Saturday and Sunday at the Village Green Hotel. The gathering will bring together ministers and members from all of the B.C. temples including Vancouver, Steveston, Kamloops, Kelowna, Fraser Valley and Vernon. The theme of the convention is “ I nt e r d e p e n d e n c e .” The Saturday program, which is open to the public, will feature guest speakers from quite different backgrounds. At 10 am., Rev. Michael Hayashi, resident minister of the Manitoba Jodo Shinshu Buddhist Temple, will speak on “Buddhism and Interdependence.” The father of three teenage sons, Hayashi is a graduate of Lakehead University, with a bachelor’s degree in English and education. He also attended Ryukoku University in Kyoto, Japan graduating with
Rev. Michael Hayashi a master of arts in Jodo Shinshu Theology. Born in Thunder Bay, Ont., Hayashi’s grandfather was a lay minister in the Jodo Shinshu Buddhist tradition. Next on the agenda, at 11:15 a.m., is Huguette Allen, a past federal candidate for the Green Party, more recently director of the Sustainable Environmental Network Society, and co-founder of both the Friends of Responsible Ecological Sustainable Timber and Sugar Lake and the Middle Shuswap Stewards. Allen will speak on “Interdependence and Our Environment.” Allen is a wellknown advocate for the environment who continues to be active in
the Okanagan region, working tirelessly on issues dealing with species at risk and many other environmental concerns. Allen’s environmental awakening occurred 30 years ago when she realized that the lake she lived near was contaminated by heavy metals from industries that she herself had once encouraged. This led her to the realization that the socio-economic world in which she lived encouraged lifestyles that were bound to be destructive in the long term. She started looking for solutions that would contribute to building a healthier world for future generations. At 1:45 p.m., Hayashi continues his presentation on “Buddhism and Interdependence.” And at 3:15 p.m., Ray Negrin, a corrections professional with more than 30 years of experience with BC Corrections Service, will make a presentation, “Am I My Brother’s Keeper.” Negrin, a father and

Son of Man. Luke 19:10: The is a term, like ‘the Son of God,’ which is now geologically chiefly associated with Christ, used both in the O.T. and N.T. It portrays Him as The Representative Man and as the “last Adam” in distinction to “the first man, Adam.” It sets Him forth as “the second man...from heaven” as over against “the first man...from the earth.” “The Son of Man” is thus our Lord’s racial name, as “the son of David” is distinctly His Jewish name and “the Son of God” His divine name.

The Free Active Choices Program has trained coaches to support you with your physical activity goals. The program is for 6 months which will give you time to create a physical activity habit. Here is what one participant has to say:
Hurray!
I have thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the time, care, advice and encouragement I have received from Paul and this program. I am just in the door from a 1 hour walk/run around the Cedar Hill Golf Course. It makes me almost giddy to say that, since 6 months ago I was fatigued by a walk around ½ the course or less. I have indeed embraced exercise and look forward to a variety of ways to be active every day. I am exercising at least 5 days a week for 60 min a day. I have joined a walking group and a Zumba dance class. I am looking to starting a Jazzercise class in September. I am at the halfway point in my weight loss plan (lost 20 lbs) and am happy to have returned to Weight Watchers. It feels wonderful to be fit and getting fitter. Paul (Active Choices Coach) you were and are an inspiration as well as an excellent role model for healthy aging. Thank you joyfully Joanne – Victoria Call Angela today for your personal coach – 1-877-522-1492 or angela.activechoices@shaw.ca

News
Region earns climate title Morning Star Staff
The Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) has been awarded a Level 3 Achievement of Carbon Neutrality from the Climate Action Charter. A formal letter of recognition was sent to the CSRD acknowledging this accomplishment. Climate action is a provincial priority and local governments are key partners in helping to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and create complete, compact and energy-efficient communities. “The CSRD is very pleased to be acknowledged for achieving carbon neutrality,” said CSRD chief administrative officer Charles Hamilton. “We are committed to exploring innovative and cost effective measures to maintain our carbon neutral status with the province.” In 2007-2008, the CSRD became a signatory to the B.C. Climate Action Charter, along with 182 other local governments. The CSRD has measured and reported carbon emissions to the Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program since 2010, and has taken measures to reduce corporate emissions. In order to become carbon neutral, the CSRD has purchased carbon credits from the Pacific Carbon Trust to offset corporate emissions. The CSRD has an agreement with the Climate Action Secretariat (formerly the Pacific Carbon Trust) to sell carbon credits from the Salmon Arm Landfill biogas operations. This agreement gives the CSRD a unique opportunity to purchase carbon offsets at a reduced rate. Furthermore, the CSRD has been able to offer their member municipalities the option of purchasing the discounted carbon credits as well, in order to offset their corporate emissions. The CSRD has been working on retrofitting CSRD buildings, improving fleet management and incorporating carbon neutral initiatives into planning exercises, all in an effort to reduce corporate emissions. In 2012, the CSRD was one of 31 local governments and one of only five Regional Districts to become carbon neutral. Furthermore, the CSRD recently submitted its 2013 report, which indicates the corporation is once again carbon neutral.

terms of drivability is a better jump off the line and improved highway cruising. Because the new transmission reduces weight and friction, the fuel economy has improved by 16 per cent, which is an amazing accomplishment in such a small car. Rated at 7.0L/100km in the city and 5.7L on the highway, using the much tougher 2015 fuel standards, this represents fuel number buyers will actually be able to achieve. In addition, the suspension has been improved for more responsiveness but I found the ride a bit choppy over bumpy roads.

This is the EX trim with leather and navigation, making the fit downright opulent. This isn’t the least expensive car in this class but on the whole it offers so much more than just a price point.

1964½ Ford Mustang
The big stories out the of classic car world today are the multi-million dollar rarities that will be offered for sale at the big auctions in Monterey, Ca. With those cars making headlines, it’s easy to forget that there isn’t a millionaires-only policy when it comes to classic cars. Here are four favourite all-American classics that can still be had for less than the price of a loaded new Ford Focus: 1948-49 Cadillac Series 61 Club Coupe: The ’48 Cadillacs were the first all-new Caddies after the end of WWII (the 1946-47 cars were similar to the 1942 model), and they were drop-dead gorgeous with the first of the fighter plane-inspired tail fins that would grow to near mutant proportions by 1959. As elegant as any Bentley of the era, the ’49 model was the first with Cadillac’s modern overhead valve V-8. 1961-63 Ford Thunderbird: The third generation T-Bird is arguably the prettiest. The epitome of jet-age, mid-century modern style, it was dubbed “the bullet bird” for its streamlined shape. Nice coupes are particularly reasonable, and with a little searching, decent convertibles can be found for $25,000 or less. 1964-66 Ford Mustang: The first generation Mustang which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, has clearly aged beautifully, looking just as fresh today as it did in April of 1964 at its New York World’s Fair introduction. Prices seem to be firming up, but six-cylinder coupes and convertibles are still available at a reasonable price. 1927-31 Ford Model A: Like movie sequels, few automakers have had the ability to follow up one blockbuster with another of equal magnitude. The Model A was “The Godfather II” to the Model T’s “The Godfather.” If you look at American period photos from the 1930s-40s, it sometimes seems like there was nothing else on the

Studio 2000x is a fully-fledged moviemaking animation department that’s buried deep in the bowels of Ford’s headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan. Jeffery (Jeff) Nowak heads a groundbreaking small group of dedicated Animators/Auto Designers who are playing an increasingly important role in product development at Ford and changing the way cars are created. Jeffery Nowak talked recently about his unique line of work, while he was here attending the SIGGRAPH Conference and Exhibition at the Vancouver Convention Centre. The conference We’re able attracts professionals to sculpt forms worldwide from the computdigitally in almost er graphics, visual effects, gaming, science, robotics and the same way movie industries. as we did with “Our animations are clay. cinematic in that we try to Jeff Nowak convey the message within a product and express ‘the feel’ of that vehicle, as best we can,” said Nowak. “We’re trying to create a reality, before a reality actually exists, yet achieve a level of realism. We live for that challenge and it’s very exciting and rewarding, especially in the artistic pursuit.” Designing a new automobile is a long and complex process that typically takes about two years, yet it still starts with a simple two-dimensional sketch. In the digital age, however, that sketch is done on a specialized computer tablet, as it’s easier and faster to then develop it into a 3D model. From there, an actual scaled-down clay or foam model can be produced. As they move ahead in this design decision phase, more complex 3D design themes are explored and eventually a full-size clay model is produced. “What we’re seeing now is a whole new generation of tools that allow us to work more intuitively,” said Nowak. “The transition from hands-on sketching and hard clay sculpting tools to computer inputs was a challenge for some designers. Now we’re seeing a maturity of the technology to a point that these (digital) tools are becoming more like those organic tools again. Before Ford commits to producing expensive full-scale models, a lot of animation work is now performed. “This is my world,” affirmed Nowak. “We build a lot of complex visual experiences to allow all stakeholders within our company (Ford) understand what the embodiment of that proposal is and hopefully galvanize a common view or understanding of what that theme represents.” Animations created by the ten-person 2000x Studio team begin with a storyboard of proposed shots, just like a Hollywood or Disney movie. The images produced are in ultra-high definition, known as 4K, which is four times clearer than commercial high-definition imaging, as there’s intense attention to detail of all facets of the vehicle – exterior, interior, proportions, stance, etc. “In addition to being a powerful internal communication tool, digital animation is also a great tool that we hand-off to our marketing organization,” said Nowak. “It also allows us to do more in the same amount of time. In the past, we might have only been able to do one design theme in a development time block. Now we can do ten, fifteen or even twenty design themes in that same time block.” Jeffrey Nowak has been with the Ford Motor Company for eighteen years and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in industrial design (transportation) from the College for Creative Studies. He holds more than 30 design patents with Ford Motor Company and is considered an industry leader in the field of computer-aided industrial design process and technology. And he’s a big admirer of movie director/producer Michael Bay, who is best known for the Transformers movie series.

Top secret: Inside the Infinity-Red Bull racing factory by Keith Morgan
Milton Keynes, England – The security here seemingly rivals that of the most top-secret government institutions. “Without the proper finger you can’t get in,” says Silvia Halfar, grinning while prodding the fingerprint scanner. The door clicks open to the Infiniti-Red Bull Racing factory, where we would observe the hi-tech production techniques behind the success of four-time world F1 champion driver Sebastian Vettel and the four Constructors’ Championship titles earned by the team. The design genius is indisputably Adrian Newey. With ten Constructors’ Championships under his belt, won with three different teams – Williams F1, McLaren and now Infiniti-Red Bull – he has no rival. “Adrian draws up to 100 designs (car parts and components) a week and I mean draws, literally,” informs Silvia. His work is scanned and 3D printers generate models for testing. It’s not a one-man show: more than 600 people design, test, build and assemble the hundreds of thousands of parts required for the race cars driven by Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo. Every season, the 110-strong design team produces a new car that conforms to the strict F1 regulations. A super computer tests every part virtually, before a new model hits the former Concorde jet wind tunnel in nearby Bedford. Its processing power is a closely guarded secret but it’s greater than 35,000 iPads combined. Different parts are designed for every racetrack, sometimes within 24 hours of a race. “I had to take five bags to a race in Europe . . . some people have found themselves with a nose in the seat next to them!” The race simulator is out of bounds but we learn new part profiles are fed in and tested virtually by the drivers on any of the F1 circuits programmed into the machine. It was likely overworked this year as the old V8 engines were replaced with turbo-powered 1.6-litre V6 hybrid powerplants. There are no underground tunnels between the four buildings so when a secret race-winning part is produced what happens? – Silvia laughs: “Well, then we put it on a tea trolley, cover it with a towel and wheel it across the road.” By the time the chuckling had died down, we were all peering through the windows of a huge gym. “The race team has to keep fit,” said Silvia, anticipating our question. There are also trainers and nutritionists available to the pit side crew. Turns out the garage guys practice pit stops every day within the factory’s four walls. “The team holds the world record for a pit stop in 1.923 seconds!” she added. Every one-hundredth of a second can mean the difference between a win and loss. Shortly before leaving, we stand by a windowless wall. It’s the operations room, in where live data is analysed and information fed back to the racetrack. No admittance. “After one race the winning team Tweeted a picture of their ops room . . . . we could see who was in the room and what programs they were running on their monitors.” With that, the exit door buzzed and the cool air rushed in to take our places.
Not for the fast and furious Milton Keynes, England: As we climbed into a gleaming Infiniti Q50 sports sedan, one killjoy warned the road to the Belgian Grand Prix would be like a dance – quick, quick, slow. The tour of the Infiniti-Red Bull Racing factory had us pumped and ready to roar Sebastian Vettel-like, along the UK’s motorway network to Folkestone, Kent. There we would take Le Shuttle train beneath the waves of the English Channel to France and on to Spa, Belgium. It would be a 600-kilometre drive (374 miles) and take less than six hours. The doomsayer was right, try ten hours! The aforementioned four-time F1 champ influenced the production of this car so it was a neat idea to take the sharp-looking Q50 on an extended spin to a race weekend. See MOTORWAY CHAOS on next page

However, plain sailing it was not as we encountered motorway chaos to the EuroTunnel. It was equal parts low-gear slow crawl, near-posted speed limit bursts – enabling a few paddle-flipping-gear changes – and parking pauses long enough to test the eight-position power seat adjustments and play with the large dual touch screen infotainment displays. The navigation system ‘lady’ suggested we take the M25 the opposite way around London. Whoops. Should have ignored her. Nevertheless, this was all a blessing because the car was forced to perform in adverse conditions and its mettle/metal was truly tested.

Motorway chaos encountered in Euro tunnel Extended time at the wheel of a 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 version (starts at $37,500) and a Hybrid ($10,000 more) with a 3.5-litre engine left me scratching my head about which would be my choice. Both provide a quiet, comfortable drive, not averse to a sprint when necessary, all aided by a seven-speed auto transmission that is as a smooth as a baby’s you-know-what. All-wheel-drive would be an option I would choose on either model. Interestingly, the constantly changing speed limits flashing above helped show off the predictive forward collision technology.

About 40 minutes later, we were enjoying the French countryside, travelling for extended periods at the construction zone speed of 30 klicks. Darkness enveloped the road ahead but our way through Belgium was lit by the most spectacular electric storm. Ah yes, the windshield wipers performed efficiently in a downpour of Biblical proportions. We finally reached Spa, birthplace of Agatha Christie’s fictional detective Hercule Poirot, and famous for its therapeutic cold springs. By the time we arrived, we’d had enough of the cold springs

The inclement weather didn’t dampen our spirits as we rubbed shoulders for the next two days with the fast and the fashionable in the Formula One Paddock Club at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps. Champers was the breakfast of champions at the 2014 Belgian Grand Prix, if you had the admission price of $3,500 burning a hole in your jeans. The food was not too shabby either: veal shank and rack of spring lamb, served with sweet corn terrine, sautéed summer vegetables, oven roasted pumpkin and port wine jus hooked me.

Similkameen Regional District, where fire crews are battling the latest major forest fire near Princeton. The province’s wildfire prevention fund was established 10 years ago in the wake of the damaging 2003 fire season, with $37 million for a cost-sharing program. Another $25 million was provided in 2011 and that money has all been committed for local forest fuel management projects. The B.C. government estimates it will spend $350 million on wildfire control by the end of this season. That was exceeded in 2003 and in 2009, the most costly season for the province with $382 million spent. Other resolutions given priority by the UBCM executive: n Langley City is calling on the province to provide a cost recovery model for medical assistance calls to its fire rescue service. Nearly four out of five calls received are for medical assistance. In response to a previous request, the province told UBCM its local firefighters are not
required to respond to medical calls. n The City of Victoria wants to discuss the province’s changes to the Agricultural Land Commission. Nelson, Coldstream and the Central Kootenay Regional District have presented similar resolutions, calling for more consultation before changes are implemented. n Northern and central B.C. municipalities object to the province’s proposal to cap industrial tax rates for properties used in liquefied natural gas developments. The B.C. government has complained previously about high industrial taxes imposed on the forest products industry. n The province’s new recycling regulations have prompted a resolution on behalf of small communities without recycling programs. The FraserFort George Regional District is calling for recycling collection services to be offered wherever fees are being collected from retailers for packaging and printed paper products.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder THE DANGEROUS NOCOST PLAY Marcel Proust, a French author best known for his novel “In Search of Lost Time,” said, “If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less but to dream more, to dream all the time.” At the bridge table, you must “dream” of the best bids and plays. Sometimes they will seem to be dangerous, but bridge is not a game for cowards. If a bid or play looks best, go for it and ignore the torpedoes! In today’s deal, East has to try to defeat four hearts. West leads the club queen. South wins with dummy’s king, draws three rounds of trumps (West following throughout),
and shifts to the spade king from an initial holding of king-doubleton. What should East do after winning with his spade ace? South’s two-heart rebid showed at least a six-card suit and a minimum opening, usually 12-14 high-card points. South can see 11 winners: three spades, six hearts and two clubs. But he might lose four tricks: one spade and three diamonds. However, when East gets in with his spade ace, leading away from the diamond K-J looks dangerous, and many players always return their partner’s suit (although that is much less likely to be right in a suit contract than in notrump). Here, though, East
should realize that leading back a club won’t defeat the contract. Also, from the bidding, South cannot have the diamond ace to go with his spade king and heart A-K-Q. East must to shift to the diamond three, which works like a dream. Count high-card points to place unseen honours.

Alzheimer’s Month prompts head health tips Morning Star Staff
With World Alzheimer’s Month in effect, residents are invited to fill their brain with some free information on protecting and maintaining their head health. During September, World Alzheimer’s Month, the Alzheimer Society of B.C. invites all British Columbians to participate in one of the Society’s free onehour tele-workshops on protecting and maintaining the health of their brain. An estimated 44 million people worldwide - including more than 70,000 here in B.C. live with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia, numbers that are expected to rise dramatically as a result of longer life expectancies and an aging population. But research suggests that a significant proportion of dementia cases worldwide may be attributable to risk factors that can be influenced through lifestyle, so education can help. “Education is a very important component of the work we do,” said Maria Howard, CEO of the Alzheimer Society of B.C. “We have programs throughout the province to educate and empower people with dementia and their care partners. “We also consider health-care providers who work with people with dementia to be important partners, and we have useful resources and tools for them as well.” Heads Up: An Introduction to Brain Health workshops share current research on risk reduction and offer strategies for actively engaging in protecting and maintaining brain health Jennifer Stewart, manager, education adds, “participants learn how to set goals for improving the health of their mind, body and spirit.” Te l e - w o r k s h o p s include a live web video of the presentation, making it easy for participants to follow along on their comput-
ers while listening on the phone. Informative handouts are also available for download after
the session. The society maintains an archive of past workshops that are
available any time and cover topics that range from Understanding Tax Credits, Income
Splitting and Estate Planning (Feb. 2014) to Celebrating the Holidays with friends
or family members who have Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia. Videos are available
