Agency stands by Cherry Ridge plan RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

A government agency insists it won’t abandon logging plans despite protests in Cherryville. Road construction contractors backed off initiating work Thursday after they were met by about 55 people opposed to the project on Cherry Ridge. “Flat-out no,” said Colin Johnston, B.C. Timber Sales woodlands supervisor, when asked if the agency may completely scrap logging because of the protesters who claim logging could cause landslides. “It’s not in the interest of BCTS to do that.” However, the prospect of further public demonstrations has BCTS reviewing its next steps. “It will take us a few days to review the options and decide where to go. There are lots of options to consider,” said Johnston. One possibility is possibly sitting down with Cherryville residents to find some middle

ground on the issue. “If we can see a pathway that makes sense and meets both sides’ objectives, we’d be willing to go there. Communication is the best option,” said Johnston. However, residents have accused BCTS of not consulting with them fully and proceeding with the road although the Regional District of North Okanagan is looking at proceeding with a risk assessment of the slope. “We want to get a hold of (MLA) Eric Foster and if he’s heard from the forests minister yet. I hope they hold off on the road until we do the study,” said Eugene Foisy, RDNO director for Cherryville. “There’s no point spending tax money on a study if they’re going ahead with it (road) any how.” BCTS has stated that there has been dialogue NATALIE FORD PHOTO with the community and Cherry Ridge has long Colin Johnston, B.C.

Thieves take away excavator

Officers dispatch trio of cougars RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Morning Star Staff

A very expensive piece of equipment has gone missing from a Vernon business. Vernon RCMP received a call shortly before 9 a.m. Thursday from a representative of Brandt Tractor in the 3100 block of 48th Avenue who reported an excavator had been stolen. “One of our officers attended and spoke to the employee,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “He told police that sometime between 10 p.m. Wednesday night and 7 a.m. Thursday, someone broke the lock on the west fence, entered the compound – likely with a trailer – and stole a 2014 yellow with a grey boom 50G John Deere excavator.” The value of this excavator is $90,000. There is no video surveillance on-site, however the owner-dealer next door is checking their system. Police are asking anyone who may have seen a vehicle, likely a truck and trailer with this unit, leave the yard between midnight and 4 a.m. to please call 250-545-7171.

Vernon RCMP are asking if anyone has any information in regards to the theft of a $90,000 John Deere 50G excavator, similar to the one pictured, from Brandt Tractor in Vernon sometime between 10 p.m. Wednesday and 7 a.m. Thursday.

Former ski coach facing more charges Morning Star Staff

An ex-ski coach from Seattle accused of secretly recording female students undressing on a school trip to Silver Star Mountain Resort was indicted this week on five counts of child exploitation, following an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). Jason Christopher Paur, 44, who is currently incarcerated in Canada pending his January trial on charges stemming from the alleged Silver Star incident, was arrested last December by the RCMP after female students from The Bush School in Seattle

discovered a hidden camera in their bathroom. The students notified chaperones who contacted police. Paur pleaded not guilty to 10 counts in February. He is charged under the Criminal Code of Canada with three counts of secretly observing/recording nudity or sexual activity; three counts of break-and enter a dwelling with intent or commit; two counts of making or publishing child pornography; and one count each of accessing child pornography and possession of child pornography. HSI’s investigation revealed Paur allegedly recorded stu-

dents not only in 2013, but also during trips in 2012 and 2011. The indictment alleges Paur used the pictures for his own sexual gratification and transported the pictures from Canada to the U.S. The indictment further alleges that Paur traveled with the teens to Canada with the intention to film them for his own sexual gratification. He is charged in the U.S. with production of child pornography with intent to transport; possession of child pornography; transportation of minors with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity;

and two counts of production and transportation of child pornography. Paur has since been fired by The Bush School, according to school officials who fully cooperated with the investigation. Paur also worked as a freelance journalist. The charges contained in the indictment are only allegations. A person is presumed innocent unless and until he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. It is anticipated Paur will be turned over to U.S. authorities when he is released from Canadian custody.

Three cougars have been destroyed after killing a family pet and posing a public threat. Between Sept. 21 and 23, conservation officers responded to two separate incidents of aggressive cougars in the BX. “If they do what cougars do and eat deer and keep to themselves, then fine. But if they cross that line, we have to step in,” said officer Tanner Beck. On Sept. 21, a dog went missing after a woman let it outside in the morning on McLennan Road. “As she (owner) was in the yard, the dog’s carcass fell out of the tree,” said Beck. “She looked up and there was a large cougar in the tree.” Officers were called immediately and a decision was made to destroy the cougar. Beck says there would be little chance of success if the 18-month-to-two-year-old cougar had been live trapped and relocated to a wilderness area. “The cougar was targeting pets as a prey source, which brought it close to the community and created a public safety risk,” he said, adding that ensuring the safety of the public is his department’s priority. On Sept. 23, a report was received about two cougars two kilometres away from McLennan Road. They hadn’t killed any pets but they were considered aggressive, so they were destroyed. “They were walking around the front of houses and decks and looking for the same thing (as the first animal),” said Beck, who insists that residents, especially in rural and forested areas, must realize that cougars are native to the North Okanagan. “They’ll always be out there,” he said, adding that residents should ensure livestock and pets are secure, especially at dawn and dusk when cougars are more active. The public should also be aware of what actions to take if they come across a cougar. “Make yourself look big and make it feel uncomfortable so it’s scared off,” said Beck.

It’s a few weeks later than usual, but students in the Vernon School District have at last wrapped up their first week of the 2014/15 school year. District superintendent Joe Rogers said the first week has gone well, with elementary enrolment up slightly from projection and secondary enrolment numbers still being finalized. “I know that teachers had to work extra time to finish up all of their stuff from last June in their room in order to get their classes organized,” Joe Rogers he said. “But all schools have their divisions made and teachers are back in their regular classes for the rest of the year. We do not have to add any divisions at elementary schools, so the staffing we’ve supplied has been fine.” The Ministry of Education has extended the deadline for submitting enrolment figures from its usual Sept. 30 date to Oct. 17 to give districts across the province time to finalize numbers. At the secondary level, Rogers said those numbers are updated daily as students change courses or do online studies they began during the teachers’ strike. Secondary students must have a full load of eight classes in order for the district to receive its full funding for that student. Fulton secondary school has undergone the largest scheduling change. The school normally operates on a quarter — or Copernican — system but for the rest of the year will switch to a regular semester timetable to make up for lost time.

Poor Posture Saps Your Health Your posture tells a story of all the bumps and bruises you have accumulated over your lifetime. As we age, our bodies accumulate the stresses and strains of life—accidents, illnesses, injuries, and repetitive activities like work and sports. After several decades, our muscles become restricted and tight from adhesions. They also grow weaker due to less movement. Stooped posture and poor alignment destroy nerve function, hinders optimal breathing and digestion, saps your energy, hinders metabolism, and grinds your joints, making them painful and stiff. Chiropractic care helps improve health by optimizing your posture, enhancing joint flexibility, and freeing up needed energy. Great posture and spinal alignment is how you relate to gravity properly - how you balance. If you hold a plumb line from the top of the head to the ankles down the side of your body, ideally that plumb line should go through the ear, shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle. Chiropractors help correct stooped posture, rolled shoulders, forward head posture, general body imbalances, stiff and painful joints. We help guide you to ~ by Dr. Deane Studer, DC your best.

“The ministry would not move the November and April exams, but moved the January exams into February, so Fulton has had to switch to make sure their students are given the best advantage to do well,” said Rogers, adding that the district has had to incur extra funding for the added staffing required by the switch in timetable. After the long round of job action and bargaining between the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, teachers are happy to be back in the classroom, said Vernon Teachers’ Association president Heather Malcolm. “Teachers pulled things together to prepare for and welcome their new students and everyone was happy to return to some routine,” she said. “Teachers are professionals and strive to create the best possible learning environment. Very long hours were put in this week and will likely continue in order to make that happen.” Teachers had one day to return to their classrooms and prepare for students to start on Monday. “It was chaotic to say the least,” said Malcolm. “We have dozens of teachers who changed schools and had to move to a new building and set up a new room in one day. Other teachers had a change in grade or course assignment.” Malcolm said that while the new collective agreement has some increased funding for class size and composition, the new classes do not look a lot different from previous years. “There is still some funding from the Ministry of Education to come through that will hire more teachers and provide more support to students,” she said. “These funds still won’t be enough and we need trustees and parents to stay vigilant advocates for better support in schools.”

Busing changes drive debate KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff

While the first week of classes has gone smoothly for students, the Vernon School District’s busing changes have caused some concern for parents. In an effort to save money, the district has made cuts to several bus routes, and students who live within 2.4 km of the school in their catchment area will be required to walk or make other arrangements. For students attending schools out of their catchment area, such as the French immersion programs at Beairsto and Alexis Park or the Montessori program at Silver Star, the district provides seats on the bus as a courtesy and if there is space. “There have been some adjustments around the busing changes, and our busing superintendent is working very hard to

last year, there are only 3,520 this year because the rest are in the 2.4 walk limit. “It’s our responsibility to use the money we have from the ministry to provide the best education we can, but we’re very sympathetic that this has caused a hardship to many families.” Rogers said the dis-

trict is still earmarking $2 million annually for busing, but route changes add up to savings of $125,000 per year. “That adds up to two teacher positions or four CEA positions and our responsibility is to put in as many resources as possible for the kids. “At the moment, we are still providing busing for anyone who lives outside the 2.4 kilometres limit, which is one of the shortest limits in the province — everyone else uses four kilometres as their limit.” School board chairman Bill Turanski said he has received a number of e-mails and calls from parents, which he passes along to transportation supervisor Robyn Stephenson. “Anytime you make reductions in anything, including transportation services, you’re going to get negative feedback,” said

Council’s bid to host the Cities Fit for Children Municipal Summit in November 2015. “There should be no cost to the city except some in-kind staff time,” said Lynne Reside, early years community development co-ordinator.

Turanski. “The ministry says we have no obligation to provide any kind of busing and if we do, then we have to find ways of generating money for the additional costs.” Turanski said most school districts charge for busing, including Kelowna, which charges $112 per student per year. “We have examined that option and we’ve been reluctant to pursue it but we may have to,” he said. “We feel it could be a real hardship on young families, but we may be forced into it because we simply can’t offer the service beyond what we have, so it would have to come from the parents.”

Hitting the road

ome observations on the world around us, such as it is, or at least such as it is from my vantage point of late, of course how could I comment on it from your vantage point as I wasn’t there at the time so.... .....anyway, just got back from a weekend at Whistler due to the fact that my wife’s group had a conference at the world-class resort. It was wonderful. The weather helped, mid 20s and sunshine every day, but the scenery is spectacular, the people friendly and a relaxed mood add up to a great destination if you have some time on your hands. And speaking of time on your hands, I had lots of it seeing how my wife was busy with convention stuff Glenn Mitchell most of the time, and the Canucks just happened to be holding their training camp five minutes down the road, so I got my butt out of bed to catch the early practice (9:10 a.m.) on Saturday. I wasn’t the only one, however, as I had to circle back for overflow parking through the streets of Whistler, but I found my way and easily got a spot against the glass of the Meadow Lake Sports Centre, along with a number of other blue-andgreen clad fans. The first thing you notice upclose and personal is how big these guys are. Yes, they are on skates but having Tom Sestito towering over you mere inches away from where you’re standing helps put things in perspective if you actually had to play against the guy. It was fun watching fans try to take selfies with him as a backdrop, I’m not sure if they actually got him in the shot or not. And they’re fast. The drills are done at breakneck speed and they obviously know what they’re doing because no one looks lost out there, at least not that I could notice. Highlights included Dan Hamhuis upending Kevin Bieksa in a puck drill along the boards, he took it OK but seemed to be talking to him a lot about it afterwards, although then Bieksa is always

MitChEll’S MuSingS

talking a lot out there so who knows what he was talking to him about. It’s hard to say who looked good out there but it’s always exciting to launch a new year, especially with a new coach and new management and a new all-star goaltender and.... The hockey team was also staying at our hotel, or we were staying at there’s (not sure how that works) so we were on alert for Canuck sightings, although I confess there’s only a handful I would recognize in street clothes. However we did run into a group of young guns studying the menu outside the restaurant one night and easily spotted Zack Kassian (he’s hard to miss, actually), who graciously agreed to have his picture taken with a young female fan (no, not my wife, but only cause she was in a hurry to get somewhere). Anyway it was a great weekend and we topped it off by doing the loop by coming back the Duffy Lake way, again spectacular scenery and well worth the trip... ...Seeing how I’m writing a travel column this week I’ll mention our summer venture to the Sunshine Coast for the very first time. Again, blessed with great weather, don’t know if they’ve ever had a fire ban there before, it was also quite wonderful. It pretty much lives up to the Super, Natural Beautiful B.C. moniker and it’s likely easier to get to than you might think. A short but spectacular ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay and you’re virtually at Molly’s Reach in Gibsons, and just a stone’s throw from Sechelt and Pender Harbour, all the while you feel like you’re on the Island or at least some island, but you’re not. It’s hard to describe but it’s much more laid back than Greater Vancouver, even though it’s minutes away, so it has a Kootenayesque, little bit isolated, little bit greener than average feel to it, but there’s signs of wealth there too. Interesting mix and it’s got the ocean and all it has to offer to boot, and the ferry ride back is free, so there. Check it out when you can.... ....of course October looms, the rain seems to be with us, and summer is on its way out, but what a great summer it was weatherwise. And hockey season looms so all’s right with the world.....

Statistics Canada’s latest population projections do not bode well for B.C.’s future, on a number of counts. The federal agency has B.C. falling to the fourth-largest province in the country, with Alberta moving ahead of it to third. This change is projected to happen over the next 20 years or so. B.C. will still be growing, but at a lesser rate than Alberta is projected to grow. Perhaps more dramatically though, B.C.’s population of seniors is expected to grow the most, to 27 per cent of the population by 2038. This is a higherthan-usual percentage of seniors, who for the most part will not be working and contributing to longterm economic growth. At the same time, they will put added pressure on the health care system. This is not to say that seniors are bad for a province or an economy. It is simply that their needs bring challenges to an economy which already hobbled by minimal growth, and to a province where every resource-based proposal is met with a fury of opposition. A province cannot thrive longterm without economic growth. B.C. is already a very expensive place to live. At the same time, few younger people have the opportunity to make really good incomes, and are thus handicapped from getting ahead. They often choose to leave the province for the promise of better paying jobs. Taxes in B.C. are already quite high, which is masked by the sleight-of-hand about low income tax rates. However, when the seven-percent PST, ICBC rates, ferry fares, B.C. Hydro rates, and MSP premiums are taken into account, taxes are quite onerous on many people already. Low economic growth will inevitably lead to even higher taxes. B.C.’s weather and scenery are great, but they don’t pay the bills. Black Press

Council made the right decision

urray for Coldstream council. You approved Tolko to go forward with the pellet plant despite fierce opposition. The folks protesting this project, while well-meaning, seemed to forget some key issues. First, many moved to this area when there existed a sawmill, glass plant and railroad near to a later-built school. No one expected these facilities to shut down, but the glass plant did, putting 350 folks and their families out of work. Just last summer, Kelowna Pacific Railway went bankrupt, putting another 40 men and women on the unemployment line. But with no rail service, all of the industries from Lumby and Coldstream had to resort to trucking everything, increasing the traffic, especially trucks past the school to the mill, thus increasing dust, gas fumes, pollution and noise. But our protesters were never heard from. GOT IT WRONG Shame on Mayor Jim Garlick and Councillors Maria Besso, Pat Cochrane and Peter McClean for approving the zoning change to allow for the building of the pellet plant in Lavington. Pinnacle's own study showed that the emissions would result in provincial air quality objectives being exceeded at the local elementary school. It was also brought to their attention that this air pollution has serious adverse health effects. Yet the mayor and these councillors all voted in favour of the plant, abdicating their responsibility to safeguard the health of the children that live in this district. Or do they not care? Let's hope the Interior Health Authority has more integrity. Dian Wirth B.C. RECYCLNG Although in my 80th year, I remain an active member of many communities and consider myself to be in the loop when it comes to current affairs, much of which is discussed on community radio in the region. To me, public discussion involves the public, Jane or John Doe, the man-on-thestreet, etc. There was no public discussion of that type offered on recycling and cer-

No protests or concerns about their kids. Tolko, CN and Pinnacle Pellet decided that spending tens of millions of dollars on upgrading the rail lines, getting a market for an environmentally friendly product tainly no polls put forward as I subscribe to several. You said it: the ministry sets goals but leaves it up to the businesses involved to do whatever is good for them but not necessarily for the people who must participate. Our local municipal or regional governments certainly made no effort to involve a dialogue from their constituents for whatever reasons. The blue box system is fine if one resides in an urban setting devoid of stairs and has a curb within easy tote distance. I do not enjoy such circumstances nor do many of the seniors within this community. Even much younger people in good physical condition have difficulty lifting and carrying these boxes when full. Try it yourself. I have no problem shopping or accessing services that are meaningful. In discussion with the majority of seniors in my community, they are of similar opinions and almost to a person have indicated that they will not be participating in a blue box system or any recycling unless some dramatic changes are made to the system now in place. Pushcarts with wheels would help tremendously and they are available in some jurisdictions but not ours. I have talked to the recyclers themselves who agree that the new program does not present a level play-

and investing time and effort to do it right would be a good idea to help the economy. The protesters, although concerned about what might happen, forget that children also need their fathers with local jobs, instead of having to go to northern B.C. or ing field for the participation of all residents. I would love to continue recycling and so would most of the folk with whom I speak, but when it requires a monumental physical effort of which many are incapable and trips by motorized vehicles at the consumer's expense to landfills far away with the items that Multi-Materials B.C. is now refusing, these are not acceptable practices and there are a lot of seniors without access to any vehicle at all. This entire initiative needs to be revisited and town hall meetings with the general public, not just associations or organizations to which not everyone belongs, ought to be a priority. Edgar Murdoch RAIL LINE I have heard that Kelowna, Lake Country, Coldstream and the Regional District of North Okanagan are considering buying the old rail line. Well let's get one thing straight. This is our tax money and before anyone plans on spending any of it I demand they hold information sessions, an online survey and finally a referendum. I want to see a complete business startup plan with all costs and planned revenue. I think it is time that all levels of government start to realize that they have to involve us the people who pay their wages

the Prairies for a job. The council meeting I attended was packed with folks who appeared wellheeled in that they either had a job or didn’t need one, so their perspective is skewed. One woman concerned about her property value fails to realize that if these families are without work, they will leave along with their children and, surprise, the school population may drop. If enough leave, they will not have to worry as the school will close. This type of activity doesn’t increase property value, only increases taxes. The companies, while they can’t guarantee against all of the disaster scenarios the protesters dream up, they are committed to being good corporate citizens which care about the community. I support their efforts to bring a strong, environmentally friendly industry to Lavington. B. Erickson in how they use our money. If they do not like it, then let's vote them all out and fire the ones that we do not elect. I, for one, am getting tired of everyone sitting in their ivory towers and making plans on how to spend more money and increase our tax load. Garry Haas

Gala backs justice program roger knox Morning Star Staff

It worked so well the first time, the Restorative Justice Society – North Okanagan is doing it again. The society is hosting its second annual Creative Justice Gala Friday at the Best Western Plus Vernon Lodge Hotel. Last year’s inaugural event, which raises funds for the society’s program, attracted about 100 people and raised nearly $4,000. “Please join our board of directors, staff, volunteers and artisans who be creating an individeual piece of art that will be auctioned off that evening,” said Warren Smith, president of the society’s board. Artists will include sculptures, painters and more. “Those artists who are unable to attend have already submitted a piece for the evening,” said Margaret Clark, the society’s executive director. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m., with dinner at 6:30 p.m. The live auction of the created pieces begins at 9 p.m. The evening includes the dinner, the auction, music by Henry Piovesan and special guest, as well

as a silent auction and door prizes with thousands of dollars of prizes available. Tickets are $40 and are available at the community policing office at 2900-32nd Avenue. Restorative justice is a community-based service that provides an alternative approach for dealing with crime and wrong-doing. “This service is for the victim first and foremost with a focus on the person who caused the harm, the offender,” said Clark. The person harmed must agreed to participate and the person who caused the harm must admit to the wrong-doing and agrees to participate. Those directly affected and involved in an incident are prepared to meet face-to-face in a facilitated conference. “The service is supported by a core group of trained volunteers, teams and our board,” said Clark. The society was only registered a year ago and rely mainly on fundraising to operate, though funds are received from the provincial and municipal governments. For more information on the gala, call 250-550-7846.

Construction of a permanent home for the Lake Country Food Bank could start as soon as this spring – if the community gets behind it. Lake Country businesses have promised around $200,000 of services and materials while Okanagan College has committed assistance from their Construction Trades program. UBC-O engineering students have gotten involved in the design phase and Lake Country council has made land available, next to the Seniors’ Centre on Bottom Wood Lake Road.

Five years ago, 26 standup paddlers gathered for the first Kalamalka Classic and planted the seeds for what has grown to become Canada’s largest SUP (Standup Paddleboard) Festival. And from that day, the lake has since become recognized as one of the best places for paddleboarding in the country. “This is our first year at the festival and we can’t wait for next year,” said Graham Gee of Vancouver. “We used to live in Vernon and I just can’t believe how big this event has become.” The Kal Classic was held over the Labour Day weekend and featured events for all skill levels and ages. Saturday morning featured a recreational race for new paddlers followed by the spec-

Competitors take part in the fifth annual Kalamalka Classic standup paddleboard festival Labour Day weekend at Kal Lake. tator-friendly Wikiholo sprint races – an exciting format that starts from the beach, goes around a buoy-riddled course and back to the beach for a run through a short course in the sand. Vernon’s Kevin O’Brien earned sixth place in the Competitive Men’s bracket while Avery Bridge and Laura Metcalf placed third and fifth in the Women’s Open class. The afternoon on Saturday was all about kids and teams. The second annual Keiki Holo race served up fun for the kids and featured a pre-race clinic with world champion Lina Augaitis. A strong afternoon wind made it tough for the younger ones but in the end, all of the keikis had a great time. The Naish Team relay rounded out the day’s festivities and gave

everyone a chance to get in on the action. The event was staged using Naish’s One design inflatable race board which made for a wild and wet affair. “I haven’t seen so many people laughing at a race event before,” said O’Brien, the event’s race director, who designed the courses. “Four people on one board was pretty hilarious to watch.” On Sunday it was the marquee event, The Kalamalka Crossing, a scenic 10-mile journey across the full length of Kalamalka Lake. More than 125 paddlers between the ages of 10 and 68 departed from Oyama and finished their journey on the shores of Kalamalka Lake Beach in Coldstream. The youngest, Robin Craig of Vancouver, was welcomed by cheering fans while John Brisco

of Quesnel and David Ethier of Kamloops, who made the trek at the young age of 68. To kick off festivities for this year’s event, organizers paid tribute to those alumni from the first year. Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick accepted a presentation of recognition on behalf of the district for supporting the event through the years and was on hand for Kalavida Surf Shop’s presentation to the Society for the Protection of Kalamalka Lake (SPKL). The event’s primary function, beyond all of the fun, is to serve as a fundraiser to support SPKL and helped raise $1,786 to keep Kal Lake blue. One of the primary goals of the Kal Classic is to create awareness for Kalamalka Lake. Proceeds from the Festival are donated yearly to support SPrKL. “Their efforts in conservation and education have helped identify and correct a number of environmental threats

to the scenic lake,” said O’Brien. “Mahalo to everyone who helped make the event a huge success.” Augaitis, of Vancouver, won her fourth Queen of Kalamalka Title while Ken Larsen of Chilliwack earned the King of Kalamalka crown. Bridge, of Vernon, captured the firstever Junior Queen of Kalamalka and was thrilled about her victory. In her first year of paddling and working at Kalavida, Bridge won Sunday’s Kal Crossing to capture the overall win. Evan Gerbrecht of Vancouver was the crowned the Junior King of Kalamalka. Coldstream’s Dan Anderson won the Open Men Masters class finishing in a time of 2 hours and five minutes. The 5th Annual Kal Classic was a huge success and organizers would like to thank Naish and Kalavida Surf Shop for presenting the event along with Tourism Vernon who helped raise the profile of the event through several marketing campaigns. Special thanks go out to Original Joes Restaurant who helped support the volunteers and supplied the water for athletes, and also to co-sponsors Caulfields Engraving, Sanuk, FCS, Rip Curl, Quickblade and Werner Paddles who provided awards and prizing for the various events. Check out full results at www.kalamalkaclassic. com. The 2015 festival is set for Sept. 5 and 6.

There is new leadership at the helm of the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce. Jaron Chasca, Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services manager, was elected chamber president during the organization’s annual general meeting. “I believe we have a lot to look forward to in growing this organization and helping the business community grow and prosper,” said Chasca. Jaron Chasca “We have a strong membership base, a dedicated board and committed staff. Those three elements position us well to improve our efforts around advocacy, to add more benefits to our members to help improve their bottom line and to hold exceptional events that set the stage for networking and business development.” The other table officers elected were Tracy Cobb-Reeves, with Kal Tire, as vice president and Markus Schrott, with BDO Canada, as secretarytreasurer role. The directors at large for 2014-2015 include, Matthew Davidson, Ingrid Dilschneider, Dauna Kennedy Grant, Adrienne Harris, Marlene Higgins, Andrew Powell, Caroline Radics and Rob Tedham. Chasca takes over from Adrian Johnson, who remains on the board as past-president.

City action wanted Morning Star Staff

Business leaders are pushing the City of Vernon to remain vigilant when it comes to streamlining and finding efficiencies. The provincial government recently presented the city with the Open for Business Award. “While it’s great to see the city recognized as a standout performer, there is still much that can be done to cut red tape and streamline development processes, particularly in concert with other local governments in the region,” said Adrian Johnson, Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce past-president. “We congratulate the city on its award. The chamber will continue to work with our members, the development community and with civic officials in the region to further enhance the entire area’s open for business environment.” Vernon was just one of nine communities to receive the award this year. “The award, which carries a $10,000 grant to fund more business-friendly developments in the city, will boost Vernon’s reputation province-wide as a great place to do business.”

Funds raised at the nine run sites in B.C. stay in the province to support local initiatives. There’s still time to participate and get started on fundraising.

One in nine Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. An estimated 24,400 women in Canada will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and an estimated 5,100 will die from it.

Just in time for school, some local kids are prepped to go back to class thanks to London Drugs and The Morning Star. The Back to School colouring contest in the newspaper proved to be a popular outlet for kids to get creative. From toddlers to teens, close to 300 kids entered the contest, which awarded one lucky student an iPad Mini. “The response was amazing,” said Morning Star publisher Ian Jensen

of the detail and time put into each picture. “With so many works of art to choose from, we decided to award even more winners.” Therefore the entries were divided into three age categories and winners were chosen from each. Three carefullyselected members of the newspaper staff waded through the entries and made their top picks. The top three entries from each category won a backpack: seven-year-old Brooke Tessman of Highland

Park Elementary, nineyear-old Emily Sabados of Beairsto Elementary and 11-year-old Natalie Houle of Coldstream Elementary. Meanwhile the big winner was randomly selected: 13-year-old Seaton Secondary student Emma Doucette. Doucette has always wanted an iPad, and so did her twin sister (whom she will inevitably be sharing it with). “I just didn’t have the money to buy one,” said Doucette, who is looking forward to

MP’s bill moves through House Morning Star Staff

Okanagan-Shuswap MP Colin Mayes is making progress on his attempt to tighten up rules for inmates. Mayes’ private member’s bill has passed second reading in the House of Commons. If adopted, it would extend the parole eligibility period for those convicted of abduction, heinous acts of sexual assault and murder of an individual from the current 25 years, up to a maximum of 40 years.

“Sadistic criminals convicted of such heinous crimes are never granted parole, thus the hearings are unnecessary and are extremely painful for the victims’ families to endure., he said. “C-587 would save the families and loved ones of the victims from having to go through the agony of unnecessary and often traumatic Parole Board hearings. Why put the families of those victims through the pain of attending a parole hearing every two years?”

Panthers primed for record season TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff

The VSS Panthers are on a mission to be the best football team in school history. “Our expectations are to better than any Panther team that has come before us,” said Panthers’ coach Sean Smith. If that were to happen, it would mean that the Panthers would be booking tickets to Vancouver for the end of November to play in the provincial championship game at B.C. Place. “I have gone to two semifinals with my grade and I think we are all hungry to try and make it happen this year,” said Panthers’ quarterback John Garvie. The Panthers are on the right track so far. The Panthers downed the Pitt Meadows Marauders 26-7 two weeks ago at Hillside Stadium in Kamloops. Pitt Meadows is an AA school from the mainland that beat the AAA Mount Boucherie Bears 14-7 of West Kelowna earlier in September. The Panthers also cooked the Fulton Maroons 48-0 last week at Grahame Park. Karson Patommel is a jack of all trades for the Panthers. The runningback, tight end and linebacker knows what it’s going to take for the Cats to make a serious run. “We don’t have the deepest team, we got a lot of skilled guys, but we need to stay healthy in order to make a run at it,” said the second-year captain. Patommel was quiet in the game against the youthful Maroons, but torched the Marauders for three touchdowns. “We’ve got a lot of returning guys and we are talented at the key positions,” said Smith. “Our older guys like Zac (Kronbauer), Karson and John are going to lead the way with some exprienced linemen and we have some Grade 11 guys coming in, like Carson Labrecque who will make big plays for us.” You won’t find Brandon Melbourne’s name in the boxscore following a victory, but he has one of the most important roles with the

Panthers this fall. “I love knowing that I’m important and contributing,” said the Panthers’ left tackle. “John John Garvie and I have become good friends on the field and at school over the years and it’s a job I love doing.” The 6-foot, 230 pounder crushes 295 Karson Patommel pounds on the bench press and has aspirations of playing college football. Kronbauer will be sharing the rock with Patommel this fall in his final year with the Cats. When he isn’t taking it to the house, he plays cornerback in defensive coverage. “I love always being on the field. Growing up with city leagues, we never had enough guys, so I was always on the field. It’s the only way I know how to play,” sad Kronbauer. The 5-foot-11 tailback delievered three touchdowns against the Maroons and enjoys watching Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ rookie runningback Nic Grigsby. “He’s awesome because he busts off big runs and scores touchdowns. What’s not to love about that?” said Kronbauer. Jeff Collins is the Panthers’ defensive co-ordinator and also runs the wide receivers. Keith Johnston operates special teams and the line, while Panther grad Nick Moffat looks after the runningbacks. Managers are Cam Nicolic, Matt Crerar and Zack Smith. First aid man is Mike Riva. The Panthers look to keep gaining momentum when they visit the South Kam Titans Friday night at Hillside Stadium in Kamloops. VSS hosts the Valleyview Vikes Saturday, Oct. 10 at Grahame Park. The Cats square off against Fulton Saturday, Nov. 1.

Vipers brush back Warriors

Heat fall 2-1 to Spartans

Morning Star Staff

UBCO Athletics

The Trinity Western Spartans shaded the UBC Okanagan Heat 2-1 in CIS men’s soccer play Friday night at Rogers Park in Langley. In Kelowna two weeks ago, the Heat fell behind early to the Spartans but were able to come back and win 2-1 at home, “You can get away with one, but you can’t get away with two. Down 2-0 against a good squad it’s pretty hard to come back,” said Heat head coach Dante Zanatta. Dominic Reinold, at two minutes, and Vitaliano Poletto, at 46 minutes, gave the Spartans a 2-0 lead. Despite playing catch up, UBC Okanagan made it exciting throughout the 90 minutes with numerous great chances. Andrew Stevenson scored his first of the season in the 89th minute to make the final minutes electric, as UBC Okanagan grabbed momentum and pushed hard for an equalizer. Stevenson himself had the best chance at scoring UBC Okanagan’s first goal in the 75th minute. Austin Jones (Vernon) played a beautiful cross, Stevenson attempted to hit it first time and the freshman swung and missed. Jessica King pulled the hat trick as Trinity iced UBCO 5-2 in women’s play.

Mark Ferner and staff spent about an hour disecting video following a 4-1 victory over the West Kelowna Warriors Friday night before 1,200 fans. Ferner will take the win, but realizes his B.C. Hockey League team is a work in progress. “We were OK at times, good at times and not so good at time,” summed up Ferner, making his debut as head coach in Vernon’s third game of the season. “We kind of hung on in the end and Danny (goalie Todyschuk) played well. We certainly missed our three dee.” The Vipers brought up Vernon product Matt Halvorson from the Junior B North Okanagan Knights as Johnny Coughlin served a one-game suspension from the pre-season and Luke Shiplo nursed a broken hand suffered in a fight at training camp. Captain Riley Guenther, the Vipers’ Top Defenceman last season, is recovering from a bout of mononucleosis. The Vipers were also without injured 20-yearold T.J. Dumonceaux (knee) and rookie forward Ayden MacDonald (one-game suspension). “We definitely need to work on defensive zone play,” said Ferner. “I thought our second peri-

od was real good. Our kids worked hard. I’m not going to complain about our compete level.” Freshmen accounted for all Vernon’s scoring with Mackenzie Bauer bagging 2+1 and singles going to d-men Ryley Booth and Mitchell Mackenzie Bauer Oliver. Bauer, a former Brandon Wheat King Bantam draft out of Three Hills, Alta., jumpstarted the Vipers just 67 seconds after the national anthem at Royal LePage Place. “It was a wrister from the high slot,” said Bauer. “I just picked off a pass and shot mid blocker. It felt really good. Danny Todoyschuk (Anthony) Latina got the puck for me.” Bauer and Latina performed some strong corner work to get the puck to Oliver, who also beat Warriors’ veteran goalie Andy Desautels blocker side, four minutes after Bauer’s snipe.

Knights snag point Morning Star Staff

The North Okanagan Knights’ water-pistol offence exploded for three goals Friday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. Unfortunately, that sudden surge was only good for one point as the Knights bowed 4-3 to the Kelowna Chiefs in overtime. The Knights have the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s worst offence through six games, but host the goal-challenged Creston Valley Thunder Cats today (3 p.m.) “We just can’t score,” sighed Knights’ head coach Jim Armstrong. “We had lots of chances tonight and it was our most complete game so far. On the overtime goal, we had a breakdown in our zone and the guy (Jonathan Lee) shot over (goalie Profeit) Mitch’s shoulder.” Armstrong welcome gritty forward Curtis Sexsmith to the Knights and the Lumby product responded with a goal to spark a mini comeback in the third period. “We traded futures to Princeton (Posse) to get Curtis,” said Armstrong.

“He’s a kid who isn’t afraid to go into the dirty areas. I know him from coaching him in Midget and he’s really committed to playing here. He gave notice at his job in Princeton.” Sexsmith converted, from Austin Garrington and Layne Greene, at 6:06 of the third. Dallas Keller levelled things at 3-3 just 35 seconds later, assisting going to Logan Geefs and Trent Redschlag. Braeden Cyra, in the first period on a powerplay, and Ethan Rusnack, with six minutes left in the second, gave Kelowna (2-3-1) a 2-0 lead after 40 minutes. Austin Fournier countered for the Knights (1-3-0-2) on a powerplay six minutes into the third, from Dryden Profeit and Sexsmith. “The kids showed a lot of character with that comeback,” said Armstrong. “We were missing our stud d-man Matt Halvorson (up with BCHL Vipers) and there were lots of good positives. Last game we had 14 shots and tonight, we had 37. Fiveon-five, I thought we were the better team. Overall, I’m very happy.”

Kindale Developmental Association

West Kelowna veteran Liam Blackburn responded late in the first period o a powerplay, assists going to Jason Cotton and Kristian Blumenschein. There was no scoring in the middle session despite the Vipers enjoying a 20-5 shot advantage. Booth moved up to the top of the circle and wired an insurance marker 2:44 into the third, on the powerplay. Jake Emilio and Jagger Williamson earned helpers. Bauer found the empty net from centre ice with 74 seconds remaining. Bauer took first star ahead of Desautels (37 saves) and Todyschuk (35 stops). “They really came on in the last few minutes and Danny stood on his head,” said Bauer. “We played a simple game, getting pucks deep and going hard to the net. We outworked them, but there is room for improvement.” As expected, the Interior Division is already tight after just three games. The Penticton Vees are first at 3-0, one point ahead of the Vipers, at 2-0-01. West Kelowna, Trail Smoke Eaters, Salmon Arm SilverBacks and Merritt Centennials are all 2-1. The Vipers took on the Warriors at Kal Tire Place Saturday night and entertain the Langley Rivermen in a 2 p.m. matinee today.

LIFE

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Mark Ferner, right, works the Western League Kamloops Blazer bench last season with head coach Guy Charron.

Ferner in a happy place

ark Ferner has twice been fired as a head coach in the Junior hockey world. Perhaps the worst year of his life was the season he took the hit for the Kamloops Blazers finishing one game over .500 and missing the playoffs. In that same time period, he lost his older twin brothers – Kelly and Keith - and his father, Ed. Mark found some comfort in a grieffilled year when he signed on as head coach/GM with the Vipers. He and his wife, Jody, fell in love with Vernon, made Kevin Mitchell friends and bought a nice home at The Rise golf resort development. After guiding the Vipers to three consecutive Royal Bank Cup tournaments, winning two, he wanted a bigger challenge and a little more money. He got that with the Everett Silvertips of the WHL. He knew Everett GM Doug Soetart and despite little expectation to make the playoffs, Ferner somehow got the Tips into the final postseason spot. Past the midway point of season two in Everett, the Tips brought in Garry Davidson as GM and released Ferner. He spent last year as an associate under longtime NHL coach Guy Charron with the talent-thin Blazers, returning this year beside Blazer coaching legend Don Hay. Now that you know where he’s been since leaving Vernon, let’s assess his second tour of duty. Feedback from my oldtimers hockey and soccer teams in the past week have all been highly positive. They are stoked to have Ferner, who just turned 49, back. He could pull a Harvey Smyl (three decades with Chilliwack of BCHL) and spend the rest of his career with the Snakes. “The game’s crazy,” said Ferner. “You never know what’s going to happen. We love it here; that’s why we kept the house here. Did I ever think I’d be back here this quick? Probably not. But, I always had it in the back of mind that this is the place that I love to coach. I’d love to come back here and coach. Am I an old coach by coaching standards? I’m not sure. “I know that I said it once before that I’ll never wanna go back (to WHL), but I like to coach here and it’s something that would really, really intrigued me to really put some roots down here and if I’m able to be here 10 years, I’d really be thrilled with that.” Ferner’s love of the game shows up on his

resume big time. He played for 18 different teams. Some guys quit the game after wearing two or three jerseys. From the Buffalo Sabres and original Mighty Ducks of Anaheim to the Orlando Solar Bears, Long Beach Ice Dogs and the Schwenningen Wild Wings, Ferner laced them up wherever they were handing out sticks and pay stubs. He knows, understands and studies the game. He’s seen everything and can spot a shortcut in a player’s game in a heartbeat. And he’s a better coach than the first time he ran the Snakes. “I think you’d be crazy to think you’re not growing as a coach. That’s someting I’ve always proclaimed that you’re never done learning. Have I learned things? Absolutely. I had an opportuniuty to work with two young coaches in Mitch Love and Chris Hartsburg and Doug Soetart’s still a good friend of mine. And then last year with Guy Charron (in Kamloops,) who was invaluable as far as his knowledge is concerned. And then Donnie Hay, even though it wasnt a month, it was good. “You learn sometimes that it reassures what you know. The game’s changed a little bit and we’re gonna try and change with the game as well as far as philosphy, but the meat and potatoes of hockey is still your compete level, you have to be good defensively, you have to be good in the neutral zone. Offensively, the game’s evolving a little bit and we’ll touch on those things.” Love is still in Everett, working under Kevin Constantine. Hartsburg moved on and signed as head coach of the U.S. Hockey League Lincoln Stars this year. Former Viper captain Kevin Kraus, who was interim head coach at the BCHL Showcase, realizes he and fellow assistant Eric Godard are in a sweet situation like those young WHLers who coached alongside Ferner. “Mark really wants to develop not only his team but his coaching staff as well,” said Kraus, 25. “I appreciate that because Eric and I still have a lot to learn and we want to learn from him. He’s not just having us pushing pucks. He’s already got us in discussions in the office and on the ice and he wants to know what we think of situations as well.” Past veterans used to talk about how they never saw Ferner go bonkers, how he was always in control. It’s a trait that serves him well. “I’d say he’s a motivator,” said Kraus. “He gets you to play the game no matter what. He’s not a yeller or a screamer. He’s not gonna scare you into playing for him. He just emotionally gets you to play for him every night and thats what he gets out of his players.”

Jenne Hubert returned to the soccer pitch in style Thursday night at MacDonald Park. The towering midfielder played his first game in a month and scored once and set up another as Kal Tire upset Silver Stars 3-1 in Okanagan Men’s 55+ Soccer League play. Hubert subbed in near the 20th minute and immediately fed a bouncing ball to Denis Chabot, who one-timed a left-footed rocket top shelf past keeper Dave Gould. Shortly after, Hubert took a feed from Al Bensmiller in the right corner and made it 2-0. The first-place Stars responded just before the half when Bill Borg beat Ron Krause low after the 8-12-2 Tiremen giftwrapped a clearing pass. Terry Lowe and Chabot drew assists on Kevin Mitchell’s insurance tally with 13 minutes left in the match. Krause, replacing mayoralty candidate Akbal Mund in net, shared the Wendy’s Man of the Match with Hubert, by making several huge saves.

A golden anniversary Colleen and Les Schier celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary this year. They were married Oct. 10, 1964 at the Catholic Church in Winfield. Born at Vernon Jubilee Hospital in 1943, Les completed all of his schooling in Vernon. He worked at Miller and Brown and then spent many years with Vernon Paving. Colleen worked for many years at Peoples

Jewellers and then at William Arnott Jewellers. Their daughter Alanna Schier lives in Victoria, while their son Jay Schier lives with his wife Carolyn and their two children in St. Albert, Alta.: Anderson, seven, and Elise, three. The family recently celebrated Les and Colleen’s anniversary on a Caribbean cruise.

There is still good news

ean, my friend, has decided to focus on only good things on her new Facebook page. She has never used Facebook before but thinks she and others need to balance the daily bad with good news. I agree. I am very discouraged by the relentless news of war, killing and famine, and the sight of so many refugees scrambling across barren desert and mountains: those innocent children, Pat Black with panic in their eyes, hanging on for dear life. Putting our head in the sand and not watching these things happen is not the answer. We need to witness the atrocities and be aware of the plight of our fellow human beings and do what we can to help. Whether that help is a donation or a prayer or just the awareness of their suffering. But we also need to look for good things, to keep us in balance and to recognize there is kind intent in most people. Good news happenings are all around us all, we need to do is look. And in our local community it doesn’t take long to find them. Colleena, another friend, told me

about a great service associated with the Salvation Army Food bank. AJA Delivery Company will deliver hampers free of charge for the people who use the food bank. This is a great help for so many seniors and others who have mobility challenges. When I mentioned to Anne Cotton, who operates AJA and provides this service free of charge, that she should be recognized for her good deeds she said she does it to help others and doesn’t need the recognition. Kudos to her and the Salvation Army as well who now are providing fresh fruit and vegetables gleaned from growers in the community and available for anyone as long as they last. Many thanks to the gleaners who take the time to pick and the suppliers who let them. Fresh fruit and vegetables are such a treat when you are poor and something a lot of us take for granted. And what about the team from Vernon Jubilee Hospital that has travelled every year to Uganda since 2008? Dr. Ghee Hwang with a team of nurses provides education to the surgical residents, medical students and hospital nursing staff to St. Mary’s Hospital in northern Uganda leaving an ongoing legacy. Dr. Hwang and his team work with Canadian Network for International Surgery (CNIS) and return to Uganda every year.

Medical supplies and equipment are also donated. This is truly a charity that we can be involved in directly and hear about from a local source. Donations can be made for this Uganda project at the CNIS.ca website. More good news as the Yoga in a Chair program, aimed at those with breathing problems or arthritis, will continue to offer classes at People Place Mondays at 1 p.m. and Fridays at noon by donation. Another opportunity to those on limited income to improve their health, thanks to Melissa of Blue Eagle yoga. Call 250-540-9177 for more information or e-mail blueeagleyoga@yahoo. ca Many examples of all the good things that exist in this community are all around us. If you need a handyman, Sid Dahrouge of Seniors Home Management offers affordable services for seniors with a sliding scale based on income. His number is 250-308 8547. And the news for all those who think libraries and books are an antiquated and a fading way of life, I am glad to report that Okanagan Regional Library experienced a surge in program attendance of 12.6 per cent and a reference transaction increase of 9.4 per cent. Well done, ORL. Good news is all around us. Take the time to look.

AUSTRALIA - “Ting! Tong! Ting! Tong!” The mellow notes float down to me from a thicket of eucalyptus trees, but although I crane my neck to peer through the branches I can’t track down the songsters. They are Australian bellbirds that I’m told are very hard to spot, so I’m content to merely listen, fascinated. Like the bellbirds, many of Australia’s feathered inhabitants are unique. There’s the iconic kookaburra whose maniacal laughter lies on the morning air, the shoals of Major Mitchell cockatoos flying across the twilight sky with harsh screeches, and the cluster of greedy lorikeets that crowd my balcony railings, looking for breadcrumbs. Cheeky and curious, they look as though they have been dipped in paint cans, their heads bright blue, and feathers scarlet, green and yellow. I have other visitors too: pink and grey galahs that survey me, heads cocked to one side, and a host of other birds which provide a morning wake up chorus of trills, coos, crooning riffs, whistles and flute-like calls. Australia has much to charm its visitors, and it’s more than bird life that takes my sister and me back again and again to this vast land. My Australian cousins who play host on our frequent visits, drive us to picturesque Narooma, a holiday spot along the coast, about 200 miles south of Sydney. Unlike the more popular resort of Bateman’s Bay which is about an hour’s drive further north along the coast, Narooma isn’t your typical foreign tourist watering hole. With a population

Visitors can feed lorikeets at the Apollo Motel. of about 8,000, the seaside town boasts a few motels and family owned restaurants, a movie theatre, a couple of servicemen’s clubs which offer gamblers a chance to hit the jackpots at slot machines, known locally as “pokies,” and a golf club that sits on a rise overlooking a panoramic view across its greens. A shady boardwalk lined by spotted gums and feathery-leafed eucalyptus trees (where I pause to listen to those bellbirds) runs along Wagonga Inlet. This is where, of an afternoon, locals along with their kids and grandkids come by to hang a fishing rod over the boardwalk railings, lick ice-cream cones, ride their bicycles, or merely sit on a bench and enjoy the summer breezes off the water. Stingrays lurk shadowlike in the shallows, and on an evening walk, we spot four fat and lazy seals sunbathing on one of the two rocky breakwaters that extend out to the sea. They are unfazed by the incessant crash of enormous whitecapped waves that lash the rocks — surging

tides and furious seas which are notoriously perilous to boaters heading in or out of the bar. On a drive further along the Inlet’s bar Australia Rock is a natural formation that resembles the continent’s shape. A great subject for my camera. We explore neigh-

bouring towns, leisurely driving past colonial brick bungalows with tiled roofs, deep verandahs and balconies embellished with lacy wrought-iron fretwork. Crepe myrtle trees are in extravagant bloom – purple, orange, pink and white — and purple fronded jacarandas droop over sidewalks. At sheltered groves off the main highway, we stop for picnic lunches, washed down with swigs of wine (designated driver excepted!) and indulge in impromptu renditions of Waltzing Matilda. Seven miles north of Narooma, the beach at Dalmeny is dotted with surfers riding waves that unfurl along the shore. Undulating meadows interspersed with groves of eucalyptus thickets, lead to seaside villages like Mystery Bay where blonde sands crunch warm between my bare toes. Just a few miles south of Narooma we browse through the craft shops on the crooked sidewalks of the pretty little town of Tilba Tilba,

in the heart of winery country. The old Anglican church of All Saints in Bodalla completed at the end of the 1800s, is of particular interest to me: it commemorates the memory of a prominent Australian businessman Thomas Sutcliffe Mort, whose great, great granddaughter, now living in Canada, is a personal friend. Perhaps the most poignant stop of all, is at the Memorial Gardens at Tuross Heads where the pine tree grove commemorates Australia’s role at Gallipoli in the First World War. Below the garden, waves rush the shore along the crescent-shaped cove. It’s our last evening in Narooma and as we sip our pre-dinner drinks on the patio of our apartments at the Apollo Motel, lorikeets squabble in the nearby trees and I fancy I hear the tinkle of a bellbird in the softly falling dusk.

DREAM AUCTION! Over the past 29 years, our club has raised in excess of $2,000,000 all donated to various charities and not-for-proﬁt organizations. To provide a sense of the scope and focus of our donations, our contributions over the past decade exceeded: • $620,000 to social service projects such as the Salvation Army, Big Brothers and Sisters, the Community Dental Centre, the John Howard Society and the new Rotary Pediatric Wing at Vernon Jubilee Hospital; • $123,000 for North Okanagan Parks and Recreation centers and KidSport program; • $64,000 to local museums, art galleries and science centres; • $115,000 to projects in developing countries such as Nicaragua, Mexico, India and Ethiopia; and • $73,000 to educational endeavors including international student exchanges. The Dream Auction evening highlights the auctioning of more than 350 items, which last year raised over $165,000. One hundred per cent of the money raised from the auction items goes towards Rotary sponsored projects. Last year’s auction entries included jewelry, a collection of 72 wines, golf holidays, ski vacation, a helicopter ride and a houseboat cruise. It is only through the generosity and support of our community and guests that the Dream Auction has become one of the North Okanagan’s premiere events and raises signiﬁcant sums to fund or help fund community and international projects. We therefore appreciate any item that an individual or business would be willing to donate to assist in our fundraising endeavors. To make a donation please contact our Dream Auction Chairman Neil Perry at 250-545-2341.

More than 100 people gathered out front of the Vernon Court House in a demonstration for climate action and awareness.

Student leads climate rally TYLER LOWEY

WITH THE

Morning Star Staff

Thousands of marches and rallies took place all over the world Sept. 21 for People’s Climate, an event to raise awareness about climate change. Vernon’s gathering was organized by one involved student. Graham Garner attends Kalamalka Secondary and organized the rally with the Students Without Borders program. “We watched a video called Disruption one day about rallies around the world, and I thought, why not make one of our own?” said Garner. Vernon’s rally started at the courthouse where 105 people dressed up and brought signs trying to deliver a message. They moved down to Justice Park for speeches for the public. More than 2,000 People’s Climate events took place last Sunday in 150 countries. The biggest was held in New York City where 100,000 people came together.

Boat makes grade Morning Star Staff

New firefighting apparatus along North Westside Road is getting top marks from insurers. The North Westside Fire Department’s fire boat has been accredited as an alternative water supply for public fire protection by the Fire Underwriters Survey. “While private insurance carriers are not required to recognize the accreditation or adjust individual premiums, the Fire Underwriters Survey recommends that they do,” said Bruce Smith, Regional District of Central Okanagan communications officer. “As a result, this means that some property owners with detached buildings within an eight-kilometer road travel distance of the North Westside fire halls in Killiney Beach and Short’s Creek and within 300 meters of the shoreline, may be eligible to receive reduced fire insurance premium rates.” These affected areas serviced by the fire boat qualify as if they were protected by a fire hydrant. “Property owners with questions about whether the accreditation will affect their individual homeowner insurance should contact their insurance provider,” said Smith. The FUS recognition is based on several elements including written operational guidelines for the marine vessel, proper training records for those volunteer firefighters that use the mobile water supply boat, ongoing training and skill levels of boat operators and housing the vessel in a boathouse on Okanagan Lake.

Cathi Litzenberger Morning Star Columnist

Fall canning is well under way and there are many choices still available. Salsa is a favourite all year long and it’s still not too late to make a batch for the winter. The recipe I’m offering today gives us a chance to use up the many zucchini in your garden. Antipasto is a challenge because it usually contains low-acid foods such as fish and olives and cannot be safely canned at home without a pressure canner. The safe method below, without the fish and olives, uses the boiling water canner and was developed so you can add tuna, salmon or olives just before serving. It’s time now to turn to the huge varieties of apples grown in our area. There’s pie fillings, pickles, chutneys and, of course apple sauce to name a few. When choosing apples for sauce, choose apples that are naturally sweet, like red delicious, gala, Fuji, winesap, McIntosh, yellow delicious, mutsu and always use a mixture — never just one type. The Fujis and galas give it an aromatic flavour! Honeycrisp and pink lady are also excellent, sweet, flavourful apples (but a bit watery). An important tip at orchards is to ask for “seconds,” “culls” or “drops.” These are smaller apples, sometimes odd shapes or with imperfect appearance; but they are perfect for applesauce and apple butter and usually cost 1/3 to 1/2 the price of the top grade apples. The recipe below is an incredibly easy method for making and canning apple butter in a slow cooker or crock pot. Slow cook the apples overnight and your kitchen will smell heavenly in the morning. I’ve also included a recipe for apple butter and what can be nicer than home-canned apple butter slathered on lightly toasted and buttered fresh bread in the middle of the winter. Salsa with Zucchini and a Hint of Lime 8 cups peeled and diced tomatoes Olive oil 1-1/2 lbs zucchini (6 cups shredded) 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 cups diced sweet onions 3 yellow hot banana peppers or 3 jalapenos 1 - 2 habanero peppers, minced 1 red bell pepper, diced 1 orange bell pepper, diced 4 chipotle chilis in adobo, minced 6 garlic cloves, minced 1 tablespoon cumin 1 tablespoon dried parsley

Vegetable antipasto is a great way to use up the surplus produce from your summer garden. 1 tablespoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/3 cup light brown sugar 1 lime, juice and zest of 1-1/2 cups vinegar, 5% acid 12 ounces tomato paste 1 Tbsp. fresh basil or 1 Tbsp. fresh cilantro, minced Place tomatoes in a strainer over a bowl to catch all the juices. Very lightly oil a large heavy bottom pot, add shredded zucchini and 1/2 tsp. salt, sauté to release juices and reduce the liquid. Add the tomato juice to the reduced zucchini and cook for 10 minutes or till most liquid is gone. Add onions, all the peppers and chilis, garlic, tomatoes, spices, salt, black pepper, sugar, lime juice and zest, vinegar and paste. Simmer over medium heat for 30 minutes. Stir in fresh basil or cilantro. Fill into hot sterile jars with hot salsa, leaving 1/2-inch head space. Being careful not to leave any salsa on the rims, wipe jar rims with a clean, damp paper towel. Put on lids and screw on metal bands. Process for

10 minutes in a hot water bath. Label and store in a dark place. Use within one year. Vegetable Antipasto 2 cups red wine vinegar 1-3/4 cups packed brown sugar 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce 3 tbsp. pickling salt 3 cans (5-1/2 oz/156 ml) tomato paste 2 tsp. hot pepper sauce 2-1/2 cups green beans, cut in 1/2-inch pieces 2-1/2 cups cauliflower florets 2 cups chopped onions 2 cups chopped sweet red pepper 2 cups chopped sweet green pepper 2 cups diced peeled eggplant or zucchini, unpeeled 1-1/2 cups chopped carrots 1-1/2 cups chopped celery 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 tbsp. dried basil In large heavy saucepan or Dutch oven, combine vinegar, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, tomato paste and hot pepper sauce; bring to boil, stirring occasionally. Add beans, cauliflower, onions, red and

green peppers, eggplant, carrots, celery and garlic. Bring to boil; boil, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until vegetables are softened. Remove from heat. Stir in basil. Pour into prepared 2-cup (500 mL) canning jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Seal with prepared discs and bands. Process in boiling water canner for 25 minutes. Home-canned Apple Sauce 6 lbs. apples, mixed sweet varieties 1 cup water, apple cider or apple juice 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, optional Juice of 1 lemon 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, optional Peel, core and slice apples. In saucepan, combine apples, water (or other choice), cinnamon (if desired) and lemon and sugar, if using; bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 25 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat and either mash with potato masher, or put small batches at a time in a food processor, or push through food mill to desired consistency. Fill prepared 1/2 pint sterilized jars to 1/4-inch from top. Wipe tops; add lids and ring and process in boiling water canner for 25 minutes. Remove, cool for 24 hours. Check lids to be sure they have sealed, wash jars and store in a cool place. Makes 8 jars. Canning Apple Butter in a Crock Pot Apples, enough to fill your crock pot very full 1 - 2 cups sugar (to taste) 1 tsp. cinnamon 1/4 tsp. ground cloves 1/4 tsp. salt Peel, core and slice apples; put into crock pot, and fill it up to the brim. The apples will settle quite a bit as they cook and soften. In a bowl mix sugar, cinnamon, cloves and salt. Pour this mixture over the apples. Cover and cook about 10 hours. Stir occasionally. Leave the lid slightly ajar to allow moisture to escape; this will help the apple butter to thicken up nicely. As the apples cook you will be able to go from stirring with a spoon to a whisk. They will whisk up nice and smooth. The colour will get darker and darker as the apple butter thickens as well. I love to let them cook good and long. It makes the apple butter so yummy. Fill small, sterilized canning jars to 1/4 inch from the top. Process in hot water bath for 10-15 minutes. Remove and cool. Check seals after 24 hours. Clean and store in a cool place.

Health for the common good

he autumn is for me a time of new ideas, fresh starts. It has to do with spending 17 years in school and always starting in September a new grade or year at university. It has been for me also a time of participation in new activities or charting a new path. Join a club, take up a new college course, start exercising more, enjoy the harvest with a commitment to eating more fruit and vegetables, etc. This is when I traditionally have taken college courses like conversational French or Spanish, joined Toastmasters,

a drama club making costumes to keep myself busy and on a healthier path, volunteered with a group or attended a new exercise class. Joining clubs and volunteering are great ways to expand your knowledge and to meet new people which may result in friendships. It is also very rewarding to learn new skills, open our eyes to the life experiences of others and have greater appreciation for the strength of the human spirit. Our community has many opportunities for volunteering and we need more to take up this as well to keep our services moving forward. This autumn is also the time for municipal elections and it is great to see five candidates running for Vernon mayor, and that we will have a strong selection of candidates for all the municipal councils and mayor positions as well. I do like to see candidates talk about connecting with youth and would hope we can get more younger voters to the polls this year. Municipal elections are our grass roots and the level of government that most affects our daily lives. Our local economies, community

bylaws, roads, parks, community plans, arts and culture, recreation: our citizens of all ages are actively involved in these and so exercising our democratic voice makes sense. Autumn is a time of enjoying the fall harvest and we are so fortunate here to have our farmers’ markets and orchards where we can buy fresh fruits and vegetables at affordable prices. This is a great time to try new recipes and approaches to eating. The meatless Monday concept makes great sense to me and we usually eat two or three vegetarian meals a week. With such a great variety of vegetables around it is easy to do. Simple one-pot cooking, soups, stews, spaghetti squash dinners seem quite easy and tasty to prepare and enjoy. As a young kid I stopped eating beef when I found out my pet cow that had “died” was dinner. My broth-

ers, ever so sweet, felt the need to share that Bossy was the roast. I didn’t eat beef again for years. I ate chicken because I didn’t really like chickens as they could be mean to the little kid trying to feed them. Or at least I thought they were annoying. In my 20s I was a vegetarian for years and began eating chicken and fish in my 30s and then stayed on this path. We didn’t have beef much, the occasional burgers. First time I prepared a beef stew for a friend of mine who had spent the day doing fix-it jobs around my house, my son asked why we were having dog food. I guess my stew looked like Shadow’s canned food. As time went on my oldest asked me to start preparing beef such as roasts and steaks because he was eating them every chance he could at his friends’ houses. Now he often eats vegetarian meals and is very conscientious of his diet as is his brother, and aware of the need to balance protein, carbs and lots of veggies. As I approach another birthday I want to appreciate and consider staying healthy.

Stress free pet care in the comfort of your home

Dr. George B. Foukal 250-558-6700

thevisitingvet.ca

Building a stand-up desk at home so that I am not sitting on my butt for eight hours a day while working on the computer; and if you add TV watching to that, I could be sitting for a long time so the desk seemed like a good idea! I’m enjoying this approach and find time to exercise more while standing, squats, leg lifts, etc. and then when I do sit there is a ball chair. A set of weights is handy so sometimes when on phone calls and using a speaker phone I can work out my arms. The tool to measure daily steps is also a helpful health tool and a great reminder to be active. In addition to looking at diet and exercise, it is an important time as winter approaches to consider our mental health. Reducing stress, watching for signs for when you are getting depressed or anxious. I called my former depression “going into the black hole” and once I acknowledged the depression with professional support, I became much more aware of watching for warning signs. When I felt this coming on I increased my exercise, slowed down and took time to check to see what was going on, perhaps went for counselling or sought the counsel of a good friend. Our mental health is part of our health care, take care of this important aspect and seek help if you need it. This is a time of change in nature with vegetation and weather and can also be a great time to embrace the opportunities available and make positive change for ourselves.. “Health is not just a personal responsibility, it’s a common good.” — from a TED Talk by Dr. Rishi Manchanda

Just Ask Teresa … Your Cosmetician

Are you looking for a mascara? Do you feel confused when you look at the cosmetic wall and you see all the different types of mascara? Volume, lengthening, curling, waterproof, black, blackest black, carbon black, fat brush, thin brush … WOW! If you look at the packaging it will help because they show you what your brush will look like. A curved brush will give lift and curl. A nylon brush separates and prevents clumps, If it has a fat brush be careful if you have small eyes with little lid or puffy lids as you may be wiping it off just below your brows! A regular or a fat brush is usually more volumizing. You can get more length with a small brush or a thin brush that looks almost like a comb as well as from a regular brush. You will have to experiment to see what works best for you. Most people will find black is the best colour regardless of how black you want it (carbon black is usually the blackest). If you have light lashes and are fair, brown black or brown would be a good colour. Hope that makes it a little easier when you are trying to find a mascara. If you are unsure just ask for help we would be happy to help you!

Dancers get their bling on for hospice Diamonds and pearls is theme of this year’s Dancing with the Vernon Stars Morning Star Staff

Dancers will be putting on the Ritz at the seventh annual Dancing with the Vernon Stars Friday at the Vernon Recreation Centre auditorium. This year’s fun dance competition, which raises funds and awareness for the North Okanagan Hospice Society (NOHS), has a diamonds and pearls theme to recognize the society’s 30th year of providing palliative care in the region. The vision of Lorna Robb, of Vernon’s Cheek to Cheek Dance Studio, Dancing with the Vernon Stars continues to give back to the community and the NOHS. Robb, who also trains the dancers for competition, has experienced the NOHS operated Hospice House in Vernon firsthand. “In March 2011, my dad died at Hospice House in a peaceful, respectful, comfortable way,” she said. “We are so fortunate to have this wonderful place in our community.” Dancing with the Vernon Stars has already raised more than $45,000 from the sale of tickets, online votes, and sponsorship, and this is even before dancers have hit the dance floor. “This is a very big celebration for us and we want to encourage everyone to attend, vote for dancers online and dress to impress,” said NOHS executive director Ruth Edwards, adding, “We are very grateful for both Lorna Robb and her colleague Ruth McGrath for coaching all the dance couples and getting them pre-

The seventh annual event, which raises funds and awareness for the North Okanagan Hospice Society, takes place Friday at the Vernon Recreation Centre auditorium. pared to heat up the dance floor. They teach with such passion and you will definitely see that throughout the event.” This year’s dance competition features 10 couples and follows in the same vein as the popular reality TV show, Dancing with the Stars. Voting for favourite dance couple has already begun online at www. nohs.ca, and those attending the event can buy more votes to ensure their favourite couple wins. Two coveted trophies will be given out at the event, including the community favourite, for those who secure the most votes, and judges’

favourite, determined by a combination of the judges’ scores. “Not only do we have fabulous sponsors but we also have A-list judges on the panel,” said Jennifer Strachan, NOHS event manager and consultant. “I just love our community, and especially the people in our community who consistently work together as a team to give back to such a worthy and valuable cause. Everyone has been incredibly supportive and working together to make this event a success. Our entire community will be shining bright like a diamond on Friday night.” This year’s competitors include

Lloyd and Erma Main, who work at Vernon Toyota and Interior Health respectively; Jonathon McMurray of A&W Restaurant with Sun FM’s April Lyn Kimble; Kari and Tim Gares, of MHC Mortgage House and Fix Auto Collision respectively; business consultant and VantageOne Credit Union board member Bruce Acton and his partner Jill Acton, a psychiatrist; Vernon city councillor Juliette Cunningham and her actively retired husband Dave Cunningham; Hayden Fitness owner Marie Hayden and her partner Shawn Hayden of Hayden Contracting; Century 21 realtors Kim Heizmann and Jason

Neumann; Curves Fitness owners Angela and Warren Yablonski, Lori and Dan Anderson, owner of North Okanagan Skin and Laser and Sterling Appraisals and Machinery respectively; and motivational speaker/author Sarah Gabriel with sales consultant Richard Beauregard. Judges include Galina Labun of VantageOne Credit Union, who with her partner Daniel Labun were the 2012 winners of Dancing with the Vernon Stars, 2013 Good Citizen of Year Akbal Mund, VernonMonashee MLA Eric Foster and Tracy Holly, a renowned dancer from the Okanagan. While the local celebrity dancers are perfecting their dance moves, the event planning is in full swing behind the scenes. Many sponsors have stepped up to help promote the event including Silver Star Mountain Resort as the presenting sponsor. “It’s a terrific opportunity to support such a unique, community event. We have heard wonderful stories about hospice and how well received the event was last year, hence we wanted to be a part of it. And, it’s rather fitting, and ironic, with the diamond and pearl theme and the whole Dancing with the Stars to have Silver Star involved,” said Anne Haight, Silver Star’s director of marketing and sales.. This year’s diamond sponsors include Wayside Press, VantageOne Credit Union, Sproing Creative, The Morning Star, Kiss FM, Terra Life Lease Housing, Catherine Gardens, and Cheek to Cheek Dance Studio. The event also includes an auction, appetizers, music by The Legendary Lake Monsters and a cash bar. Advance tickets for Friday’s event are $55 each or $365 for a table of eight, which can be purchased at www.nohs.ca. Doors to the rec centre auditorium open at 6:30 p.m. with the event starting at 7 p.m.

keeping them enclosed, yet not knowing what is surrounding them. To me there isn’t enough tension and at about the half way mark, I just wanted Thomas to go into the maze to either escape or get eaten just so it would end. TAYLOR: I was angry at the film because of its lack of information. I understand that the film is full of characters with amnesia, but even they seemed coy about what they didn’t know. Thomas asks ques-

tions, trying to understand what is happening, questions the audience asks too, only to be met with cryptic or absent answers. Then, later in the film, when we and the characters are given a glimpse into the reality of the situation, we don’t have to wait long before we learn that the reality is also false. So in the end, we know nothing, I repeat, absolutely nothing about what is happening in this film. (We can speculate, but I could do that at home, without having to attend the cinema.) This film is like watching half an episode of The Outer Limits, only dragged out over two hours. HOWE: There are answers coming. By that I mean it is a trilogy of books and yes, they have just started filming part two. I’m a

The Maze Runner homas, a boy with amnesia, is brought to the surface via a mysterious elevator to become part of a small community of teenage boys, living in a glade, surrounded my an unsolvable, ever changing maze that’s full of monsters. When a girl arrives in the elevator with a note saying, “There will be no more,” Thomas decides to risk the maze in an attempt to escape, but to what? We say, “If you’re looking for answers, you’ve come to the wrong film.” TAYLOR: I was not looking forward to reviewing yet another post-apocalyptic teenage contest. I’ve had my fill, thanks. The Maze Runner is a technically fine film, has moments that are interesting and exciting, particularly when the boys (and girl) are running around trying to survive the crazy creatures that live and apparently work in the maze. Yet, this film consistently and systematically made me angry. HOWE: I was looking forward to The Maze Runner. I am probably one of only a few who enjoyed The Village, so this being along the same lines should have scored high on overall points, yet it didn’t. I liked the concept of the movie: of a group of kids being trapped somewhere,

little miffed because I thought it was going to be just a one-off movie and I now know that I have to sit through at least four hours of sequels that will make no sense and conclude with a real crappy, waste-of-time ending. Why does every movie like this have to be all doom and

gloom? Whatever happened to “and they all lived happily ever after?” – Taylor gives The Maze Runner 2 copies of The Lord of the Flies out of 5. – Howe gives it 3 spear holders out of 5. The film is currently playing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

love keeping a neat and tidy desk. Sure, you’d absolutely never know it based on how badly buried my work desk is these days. The last time I really saw the surface couldn’t have been too long ago… March or April maybe? Of 2013? Nah, it can’t be that bad, though I might need an excavator to find out. My job deals entirely with upcoming events, so my desk is naturally covered in draft upon draft of handbills, show cards brochures and posters for those events, mixed in with press releases and random

scraps of show information. In short, my desk overflows with fun stuff. I’ve actually taken to thinking of my little disaster zone as a sign of just how lucky we are to have so many great events coming through the Vernon Performing Arts Centre and other venues. So have a look at

what’s been clogging up my desk recently, and more importantly, the events that we can all be excited about: Tonight at the Performing Arts Centre are celebrated Canadian music legends Barney Bentall, Jim Byrnes and John Mann live in concert. With more than 25 albums, multiple Juno awards, and countless tours between them, the talent on hand is sure to deliver an incredible night of music and memories. This special performance is in celebration of the centre’s 13th Birthday Bash and there are still a few tickets available at the Ticket Seller by calling 549SHOW (7469) or order online at ticketseller.ca. Powerhouse Theatre kicks off its 2014-2015 season this week, showcasing new directing talent with three one-act plays, Wednesday to Friday, with a matinee Saturday. All three plays are presented as one performance, with intermissions between them. The shows offer everything from Wild West historical hijinks in Tall Tales to dark modern humour in Ledge, Ledger, and the Legend and an abstract, multilayered drama Tuna Fish Eulogy. Tickets are just $15 and on sale now at the Ticket Seller.
