Hollywood is officially returning to the North Okanagan. Enderby native Rick Dugdale, president of Hollywood-based Enderby Entertainment, will serve as producer for the film Go With Me, based on a best-selling book. Shooting is expected to start on Nov. 10 with many area locations to be used. The book is set in a Vermont logging town but the script sent to Dugdale’s company called for a small town in Oregon. As he was reading the script, Dugdale knew
his hometown region would be perfect for filming. “Further scouting is to be done, but it looks like we’ll be using the North Okanagan region,” said Dugdale, who graduated from Enderby’s A.L. Fortune Secondary in 1995. Hopkins Oscar winner Sir Anthony Hopkins will team up again with director Daniel Alfredson (The Girl Who Played With Fire, The Girl Who
BANNISTER HONDA “A Family Business, with Family Values ”
Kicked The Hornet’s Nest) for Go With Me. The pair recently finished the film Kidnapping Freddy Heineken, the story of the kidnapping of the beer baron in the 1980s. Dugdale said casting for the other major roles is still being done. Go With Me is adapted from the 2008 novel by Castle Freeman Jr. about a young woman who returns to her hometown in the Pacific Northwest only to be harassed by an ex-cop turned crimelord named Blackway. Forsaken by the locals and advised to leave town by the local sheriff, she instead turns to an ex-logger (Hopkins) and his sidekick to

help her fight back against her sociopathic stalker. Joe Gangemi and Gregory Jacobs are writing the adaptation. Dugdale is producing for Enderby Entertainment alongside Lindsay Williams and Ellen Goldsmith-Vein for The Gotham Group. Hopkins will also produce with Jacobs. The movie Tomorrowland, starring Oscar winner George Clooney and Hugh Laurie, was shot in Enderby and Spallumcheen in 2013. The film is expected to be released in May 2015.

Rooftop food drive hits record height JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
A local grocer has reached some extreme heights to help hunger disappear in Vernon. Save-On-Foods manager Jim Tennant spent eight long, cold and wet days and nights on the roof of the store, with a goal of raising 25,000 pounds of food for the Vernon Salvation Army food bank before he would come down. “We did raise the amount (goal) a little bit so I wasn’t too sure when I was going to get to come down,” he said of the third annual food-raising effort. By Thursday, with just 13,000 pounds raised, Tennant was getting a little worried that he would need to start hunkering down for an extended rooftop vacation. But to his surprise and delight, the community pitched in with a tremendous response, bringing Tennant off the roof Friday with 29,033 pounds raised. That represents approximately 20 pallets and 15 buggies packed full of food. For the Vernon food bank, where shelves are still a bit sparse from the summer, it’s like Christmas has come early. “We never want to run out of the staples and we had in fact,” said David MacBain, Salvation Army community ministries director. So far this year, the food bank has handed out 424,000 pounds of food and has assisted 236 new families. Therefore every donation helps. “This will certainly help us to get to Christmas,” said MacBain, as the holidays are when hampers are distributed but also when the Realtors’ Food Drive helps fill the need. The food bank also recently benefitted from the BC Thanksgiving Food Drive, which saw hundreds of volunteers go door-to-door distributing bags and then collecting them. Several other drives are also taking place, such as BDO’s eight annual Drive Away Hunger campaign, which continues until Oct. 17. “Our first week we collected 255

BDO also joined Tennant’s efforts and sent Markus Schrott, one of BDO’s partners, up on the roof to keep him company Friday evening. They also hosted a barbecue at the grocery store. “People are so generous, some would give us a donation and not have anything to eat,” said Pepper. Such acts of generosity continue to choke Tennant up. “I had one lady who is on a disability pension and she brought me a rooftop care package. “That was pretty special,

pretty touching.” Tennant had another guest on the roof with him for a night as well, Akbal Mund, who has joined Tennant’s efforts since he started three years ago. He too was overwhelmed by the generousity of the community. “I think we were emptying that kettle at least every hour,” said Mund, as donations flowed in. The kettle was actually stolen Tuesday, putting a damper on the food-raising efforts, on top of the rain and storms endured. Tennant is retiring the rooftop food drive but says efforts will continue, in extreme fashion, to assist the food bank during this annual time of need.

Morning Star Staff
The man thought it was strange that three people in a minivan would be at his business before 4 a.m. Tuesday. He also thought the trio were siphoning gas from a vehicle at the business in the 8100 block of Highland Place in Vernon, and called police. RCMP officers arrived on the scene and arrested the three people, two women and a man, for siphoning gas. The three, all from Kelowna, were taken into custody. Two were released on promises to appear in court. The third was held for court related to other matters.

Quite simply, Chris Pieper enjoys being the mayor of Armstrong. He’s done it for two terms, and wants to do it for a third. Pieper announced Tuesday his plan to seek re-election. “I enjoy coming into work every day,” said Pieper. “I’ve had the privilege of working with a great council and great staff that provide leadership for the people of Armstrong. Chris Pieper Hopefully, we can continue that.” Under Pieper’s guidance, Armstrong has had a fair amount of new development with people and businesses showing confidence in the community. He was also at the helm during Armstrong’s centennial birthday in 2013. Retired, Pieper says he has the drive and energy to commit to the new fouryear terms being mandated provincially for mayors and council. Kelly Rowe “We don’t have much choice in that,” he said. “Four years in the future is a long time, four years in the past is a short time. You can look at it both ways.” Pieper was first elected mayor in 2008 after serving several terms as a councillor.
He ran unopposed in 2011, but said he would be very surprised if somebody didn’t forward to challenge him this time around. “I’m sure there will be a couple of people taking a run at me for one reason or another,” said Pieper. If re-elected to a third term as mayor, Pieper’s council will have a new look. Ryan Nitchie, who served two terms as a councillor under Pieper has left to take a job with the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District and will not be running again. Neither will two-term councillor Kelly Rowe, who has announced she will insteasd be running for school district trustee in Armstrong. “I would look forward to newcomers brining their ideas to council and the community,” he said. “Hopefully we would continue moving forward in a positive vein which we’ve been doing for many years.” For Rowe, first elected to council in 2008, deciding to run for school trustee fits better into her family schedule. “I have one child left in the school system and my husband is away working a lot, so my time is more in line with the school schedule,” said Rowe, who has served as Armstrong-Spallumcheen Parks and Recreation chairperson for the last four years. Incumbent Armstrong councillors Shirley Fowler, Paul Britton, Ron (Sully) O’Sullivan and John Trainor have all announced plans to retain their seats.

A Lumby RCMP officer escaped serious injury Sunday after he was involved in a single-vehicle rollover in a police truck. The officer was investigating a report of a possible impaired driver. He was 23 kilometres up Creighton Valley Road at about 10:30 p.m. when he failed to negotiate a corner. “The truck went over an embankment and rolled, coming to rest near a tree approximately 15 feet from a lake,” said Vernon-North Okanagan
Residents are required to consult Environment Canada’s venting index or forecast for our region prior to starting a fire. Open burning should only be conducted when the index is considered Good and above the 55 range. Residential R1 and R5 Zones (Residential Single Family & Residential Manufactured Home Community) are prohibited from open burning. Every person who starts a fire is responsible for educating themselves on the current rules and regulations. Information can be obtained by contacting the Municipal Office at 250-546-3013 or on the Township website at www.spallumcheentwp.bc.ca.
RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The officer was able to free himself from the police vehicle, described by Molendyk as a one-ton truck, and climb up the embankment. He was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital to be checked out and for treatment of minor injuries. He has since been released from hospital. The officer was on duty and alcohol is not considered to be a factor in the accident which is now under police investigation. “One of our traffic reconstructionists is investigating,” said Molendyk.

Hansma seeks sixth stint as mayor roger knox Morning Star Staff
The Township of Spallumcheen will have a mayoral race in the Nov. 15 municipal election. A familiar name announced late Tuesday he would be seeking a sixth term (nonconsecutive) as township mayor. Will Hansma stepped down in 2011 after five terms to concentrate on his newspaper. He will join incumbent mayor Janice Brown on the ballot. Former councillor Dave Brew, who lost the 2011 mayoral bid
to Brown, has also said “The southeast seche is planning to run tor is having difficulty for mayor. in moving forward “I’m really con- both in the residential cerned with and industhe way trial comthings have ponent,” he been going,” said. “That said Hansma affects the when asked entire townwhy he decidship.

the township’s master water plan as reasons for throwing his hat in the ring. He is also very upset with the way township farmers have been treated. The township raised the Class 9 rate by more than double in 2014 to 11.179 from 5.1531 to counteract the effects of 2013’s Bill 8 where farmers enjoyed $120,000 of tax relief. “For a municipality to take that away from them is unbelievable,” said Hansma, adding “30 per cent of viable farming in the North Okanagan is in Spallumcheen.
“You’d think you would look at how to sustain your farming community when you rely on it so heavily as the township does for its tax dollars, for the work, for the jobs it creates and the tax base it provides, but then you decide to double the taxation on the land to give them the ability to survive. And there’s no sign of council trying to rectify that.”

Case made for water plan richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Officials are defending a multi-million-dollar upgrade to Greater Vernon water. The Regional District of North Okanagan held a public meeting at the Coldstream Women’s Institute Hall Monday on the master water plan and the $70 million borrowing referendum Nov. 15. “We as taxpayers are being screwed,” said one resident, who questioned the cost Zee Marcolin and why Duteau Creek and Kalamalka Lake are the primary water sources instead of Okanagan Lake. However, RDNO staff insisted that switching infrastructure to Okanagan Lake would be costly and the water plan has been analyzed closely. “Every single number was considered,” said Zee Marcolin, Greater Vernon Water manager. If the referendum is successful, upgrades will include filtration at the Duteau Creek treatment plant, an oversized irrigation main line, separation of Coldstream agricultural water, improved domestic distribution, a pump station for agricultural supply and raising the Aberdeen Lake dam. Marcolin says the goal of the master water plan is to provide clean, safe water and to comply with
provincial legislation. “The higher risk is Duteau and with Kal Lake, there is less of a pathogen load and turbidity is good,” she said of the need for filtration on Duteau Creek. However, Coldstream Coun. Gyula Kiss suggests other concepts were abandoned because RDNO must justify the construction of the Duteau Creek treatment plant a few years ago. “There was a bias on the part of consultants and staff already. That’s why I wanted an independent review,” he said. In response, Marcolin said, “We looked at all of the options — there were none of them.” RDNO says a successful referendum will see the average water bill climb by about $36 a year or an extra $180 by 2019. If borrowing is defeated by voters, the water utility would not be compliant with provincial legislation. “We will then have to sit down with elected officials and Interior Health and start all over again and the health risks will still be there,” said Marcolin, adding that IHA could order the utility to proceed with some or all of the projects despite a failed referendum. Information sessions will be held Tuesday, Oct. 7 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Vernon Recreation Complex and Oct. 28 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the RDNO office.
Firearm stolen from vehicle roger knox Morning Star Staff
Police are reminding hunters it’s illegal to leave firearms in view in their vehicle. It’s also not a good idea when t h i e v e s Gord Molendyk abound. A n Enderby RCMP officer
responded to a report Saturday shortly before 8:30 a.m. of a theft from a vehicle in the area of George Street and Regency Avenue. “The owner reported his truck had been broken into overnight, and his rifle was stolen,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. A 308 Browning Rifle with Leopold VX Scope in a soft case was stolen. As it is hunting season, the RCMP and conservation officers are reminding all of the
hunters that it is illegal to leave a firearm in plain view in a vehicle even if it has a trigger lock (this, said Molendyk, falls under the Criminal Code so it is a court offence). “This is a reminder to all hunters and gun owners to store your firearms safely at all times,” said Molendyk. “We also want to remind all vehicle owners to not leave any valuables in plain sight in your vehicles as thieves are always looking for the crime of opportunity to steal these items.”

D is for downloading
ow that classes are back, there’s a new subject for kids — downloading. The Vernon School District has inadvertently placed significant financial pressure on the municipalities of Vernon and Coldstream since some bus routes were scrapped and students who live within 2.4 kilometres of a school must walk. Perhaps the best example of this is residents along Aberdeen Road demanding sidewalks, signage and crosswalks because of Richard Rolke the current conditions for children walking or riding their bikes to Coldstream Elementary. “Every time I walk on the shoulder, it is guaranteed that a car will speed by,” parent Cheryl Dowler told Coldstream council recently. “The vehicles are too close, too fast.” Other risks also exist in the neighbourhood (disclosure: I live in the area). “They’ll be out there when the roads are slippery, when the light is dim, when the snowbanks are thick...,” said Dowler of students. Similar issues about sidewalks and snow removal will also arise in Vernon neighbourhoods and school district superintendent Joe Rogers is already directing parents to contact the city about service levels. This comes at a time, though, that the City of Vernon is struggling to control its infrastructure deficit. Among the strategies being considered is restricting additions to the sidewalk network as annual maintenance comes at a price. Now there is no question that the Vernon School District, like all districts in the prov-
BEyond thE hEAdlinES
ince, has fallen upon hard times. Provincial funding has not kept up with inflation, especially in areas mandated by Victoria, such as labour contracts and B.C. Hydro and ICBC rates. Cost-cutting has become a fine art within the education system and the $125,000 in annual savings from chopping bus routes is equivalent to two teachers or four certified education assistants. Obviously any spare cash needs to be pumped directly into local classrooms. However, as the school district’s bottom line improves, things grow even more tight for the municipalities. If they concede to every request for sidewalks, street lights, snow plowing or even enhanced transit, their budgets will balloon. Instead of telling parents to contact municipalities about safety issues, the school district should be asking the public to personally call or e-mail MLA Eric Foster, Education Minister Peter Fassbender and Premier Christy Clark about ensuring district budgets keep up with the cost of living. School trustees also need to meet with their counterparts on Vernon, Coldstream and Lumby councils to discuss the issue and whether a common front is required to lobby the provincial government over educational funding. Victoria needs to know that its policies are having an impact far outside of schools. Bill Turanski, school district chairperson, recently stated that “The ministry (of education) 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.” But the safety of children, no matter how they get to school, should be everyone’s priority and the government needs to be reminded of its responsibility.
Here’s a simple request for candidates seeking election in the upcoming school board and municipal election — only promise what you can deliver. That might seem like an obvious request, but all too often, candidates vow to achieve things they cannot. Call it exuberance. Call it ignorance. Either way, it doesn’t serve the voter and it disrespects the process. For example, there are some severe limits on what a municipality can do. It must work within provincial legislation that governs its existence. Likewise, a promise by a school board candidate to hire more teachers won’t happen without an explanation of where the money will come from. School districts cannot, by provincial law, run a deficit. Which brings up the second point — money. Rarely does a promise come without a cost, and candidates have an obligation to identify what that cost will be. A promise to double the number of parks in the city, for example, might draw support. But what will it cost to maintain those parks, and what impact will the removal of that land from the tax base have on city finances? A promise to cut taxes, or at least hold them at zero, must also include details on where the cuts in services will be made (or alternate revenue found) to accommodate that plan. None of this is to suggest candidates can’t have ideas or voice creative and imaginative solutions to the problems communities face. But they have an obligation to voters to ensure that what they promise is practical – or even possible. And we as voters have the responsibility to do the research and ask the tough questions to ensure these lofty ideas have some grounding in reality. — Chillwack Progress

Creating conversations
ahoo, Vernonites are actually reading The Morning Star. Some of you even have the moxy to stand up and speak your mind. Unfortunately, not many. I was approached with a comment of, "All I hear from you is complaints about stuff, but no solutions." To this person, I said a very heartfelt, "Thank you." It is not really my intention to solve the problems of our fair city, but to inspire discussion and create dialogue to get some action from everyone/anyone. Far too many people are willing to accept the old guard ideas of our city council. Please, move over and let the younger generation try a few ideas. We need to grow and not stagnate in memories of how old-thinking people want Vernon to stay as it always has been. Some actually call Vernon a tourist destination. Sorry, but I find that really funny. It never has or will be as long as we follow the same path we have been. It's all hotels in response Judy Douglas requested the truth about Cosens Bay Road in a letter to the editor. Road access to Cosens Bay properties has existed since the late 1880s. Four Supreme Court judges confirmed unanimously that the road was a public highway. Special interest groups ignore that the Land Act requires any restrictions be noted on the written approval of the subdivision, and run around showing a survey of one of seven subdivisions in the area with hand-printed words saying water access only, in an attempt to convince people the road does not exist. The Land Act does not allow air or water access as a restriction when there is a good road available. In 1996, 73 property owners were locked out by B.C. Parks and they had to sue the Coldstream municipality and the attorney general to get the road open again. One week after the judge declared the road was public, parks officials relocked the gate and we

had to ask the judge to intervene. When I was on Vernon city council, I tried to give the correct information to the minister of transportation as every property owner in Cosens Bay could sue the government for damages. I was being a responsible elected representative in bringing this to the minister's attention, unlike the ones we have elected today who play to special interest groups. B.C. Parks, the Coldstream municipality and the Ministry of Transportation have refused to abide by the 1996 order. Cosens Bay properties have an unsafe road, continual harassment by special interest groups, gutless politicians and misinformed citizens to contend with. I have provided the Regional District of North Okanagan with proof that all of the private land is zoned full residential, signed by the minister of municipal affairs before the regional district was created. The government is putting taxpayers at risk of punitive damages as they know better and continue to deny property owners a safe,

Alice Klim mind-boggling We are infrequent visitors to Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park, but are comforted to know that it is there, unspoiled and available for our enjoyment, whenever we wish. The proposal to cut a throughway-sized swath through the middle of the park boggles the mind, especially when the purpose is clearly to placate a tiny group of cottagers who knew very well what they were getting into when they purchased their lots. Once the throughway goes through, can power lines, sewers and other services be far behind, along with crowds of entrepreneurs drooling for the opportunity to make a buck developing the Cosens Bay area? don rollins teens count too We would like to thank Sun FM for its ongoing tremendous support to Teens Count Too.
Have you ever seen anyone do less then 80 kilometres an hour? On the highway that gets you a huge ticket and possible loss of your vehicle. On PV Road, it is the normal driving speed. I know, I live on PV Road. Here's my solution: A running track just cost us $7 million Someone wants $13 million to build another ice rink in the parking lot at Kal Tire Place My math says $20 million would go a long way to hire a traffic police division for Vernon. We might get people to stop doing illegal turns into the wrong lanes, running stop signs, running red lights, speeding on residential streets and monster trucks belching black smoke and intimidating little cars. If we had a dedicated traffic police division, maybe we would have much safer streets in Vernon and a lot less road rage. There's my personal beef with a solution. What's yours? paul elmont
You may ask what Teens Count Too does? It supports the teens in the Vernon and surrounding school districts in many ways. Graduation and Christmas are our main activities. At Christmas, we provide gifts for teens which are distributed at the Salvation Army. Some years, we are able to support between 300 to 400 teens. We also support any requests through the school counsellors, to help financially with sport, music or art activities, or possibly field trips or medical issues. We have helped many teens who were graduating. We have assisted with beautiful grad dresses, tuxedos, photographs, grad fees and hair and makeup. You, the listeners of Sun FM, have been amazing with your donations and we, on behalf of those you have helped, thank you. So next year if you have a son or daughter and find graduation or any activity a financial burden, please contact your school counsellor.

equestrian enthusiasts used Saturday’s meeting to push for other activities, many of those present support horse racing there. “People are evenly split between rebuilding the grandstand as is or constructing an indoor arena with seating on the side,” said Woolley. “The other option put forward was moving the track to another site but that received a lot of opposition.” With public input now received, the soci-
ety board will consider which concept to put forward to the city. “We will have some discussions with them,” said Woolley, adding that he’s not sure if the city will abandon nonhorse activities at the track. “We will see if they are as co-operative when we present the proposal as they have indicated they are willing to be.” City of Vernon officials are not speculating on what course of action may occur over
the property. “The public input session announced by the equestrian society could be of value in assisting them in working toward the development of a sound business plan for the future of equestrian racing in the Vernon area,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky. “A sound business plan could provide important context for discussions about the grandstand and any expenditure of local taxpayers’ money.”
The Vernon detachment received a call of a car speeding through the intersection of 32nd Street and 32nd Avenue just after midnight. “The silver car, believed to be a Hondatype vehicle, with two occupants was being driven at a high rate of speed, nearly hitting the woman in her vehicle, who then called
our office,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. At around 1:30 a.m., officers responded to a report a single-vehicle accident at 40th Street and Okanagan Avenue, though no one was in the vehicle when police arrived. “A police dog team was called in, however they were unable to
locate anyone from the vehicle,” said Molendyk. There was damage to the vehicle and considerable damage done to a guard rail as a result of the accident. Molendyk said that police officers are continuing their investigation into the crash and follow-up with the registered owner of the vehicle.

Musician makes memories

Country star Alan Jackson makes a young fan’s night as he hands her his guitar pick during his performance at Prospera Place in Kelowna Thursday.
It’ll be a nostalgic trip down memory lane when Doug Jack presents popular songs from the ‘40s to ‘90s at the Elks Lodge in Vernon Saturday. Entitled Music for Memories, the singer-keyboardist says he likes to provide an entertaining and fun evening of songs and music trivia, along with a name- thattune and dance contests. Doug Jack “ T h e r e ’s lots of audience feedback and laughs,” he said. In trying to create a lounge -like and interactive atmosphere, Jack utilizes as many technical aids as he can, such as full sounding backing tracks, back-screen projection with song lyrics, trivia, artist images and extensive use of a camera
aimed at the piano keys. “The audience really appreciates this one because it is hard to watch what piano players do,” he said, adding “It all helps to make for a very pleasant experience.” Born in Seattle and raised near Reno, Nevada, the now Prince George-based artist has performed in casinos in both the U.S. and Canada and has played and done sound production for a number of major acts, including The Mamas and the Papas, Freddy Fender, The Inkspots, The Platters, Johnny Rodriguez, and The New Supremes. “I have close to 50 years of stage/audience experience and I still thrill to perform a good song to a good crowd,” he said. “My crowds tend to be 50 and up and that’s where these older songs really shine.” Doors to Jack’s performance Saturday at the Elks Lodge open at 7:30 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 each and are available the Bean Scene or the Elks. For more information, call 250-549-1883.
Beat-boxing string trio performs From Handel to Hip Hop Morning Star Staff
Take the sweet sounds of a viola, violin and cello, add in some vocal percussion techniques, and you have From Handel to Hip Hop, the latest show from beat-boxing string trio Infinitus. The group brings its unique sound and upbeat style to the first of the Vernon Performing Arts Centre’s 2014-15 kids’ series, Saturday. Praised for their musical ingenuity, these three musicians share their infectious enthusiasm for music through an interactive performance that introduces young audiences to the basics of music. “We have something for everyone, whether it’s the theme from Spongebob Squarepants, something from the Disney movie Frozen, or a pop song from the radio,” said Alex Cheung, with Infinitus. “We then transition into classical pieces like Pachelbel’s Canon and then explain how some of the songs on the radio were influ-
enced by classical pieces.” Formed in 2008, Infinitus consists of Anthony Cheung on viola, Alex Cheung on cello, and John “Adidam” Littlejohn on violin. Collectively, the members hold degrees from the University of Michigan and the Peabody Conservatory and have won awards at the local, national, and international level. The trio has performed extensively throughout North America. In addition to their public concerts, Infinitus is dedicated to quality outreach including countless performances, workshops and master classes in schools, nursing homes, juvenile detention centres and hospitals. Recent residencies include the Surrey, Delta and Vancouver Youth Symphony Orchestras, and the Vancouver Academy of Music Junior Orchestra. Since their debut, Infinitus has been featured on CBC, National Public Radio, OMNI Television and
in numerous publications. In 2011 they released their debut album featuring refreshingly original compositions and arrangements. With a repertoire including everything from classical to jazz to hip hop and rock, From Handel to Hip Hop is an entertaining musical experience that can be enjoyed by children, adults, and everyone in between. “Families may want to show up an hour before the show starts as students from the Vernon Community Music School will be performing in the lobby,” said the Performing Arts Centre’s audience development coordinator Brian van Wensem. The school will also bring instruments for the public to try out in the centre’s Marie Fleming Hall before the show. Saturday’s performance with Infinitus starts at 2 p.m. and tickets are $12 each, available through the Ticket Seller box office at 250-549-SHOW (7469) or online at www.ticketseller.ca.

Calvary, showing Monday at the Towne Cinema, is the next of the Vernon Film Society’s fall offerings. Set in a sleepy coastal village in Ireland, the film focuses on local parish priest Father James (Brendan Gleeson, star of The Guard and The Grand Seduction) who, after receiving a death threat from one of his parishioners during confession, spends what he believes to be the last week of his life pondering whether or not he has made any difference to the community. Although Father James apparently knows the identity of his would-be murderer, he is more concerned about the struggling souls around him than he is with his own fate. One by one, the assorted villagers (and potential suspects) are given a chance to tell their variously unhappy stories. At the same time, he is visited by his troubled daughter, the result of his tragic marriage before he joined the priesthood. In each encounter, the benevolent priest argues for the value of the church – and of faith in general – in a modern society increasingly skeptical of this seemingly archaic institution. Featuring lively performances, spectacular scenery, and crackling dialogue, Calvary offers a contemplative portrait of faith and guilt. Filled with fierce gallows humour and touching compassion, it’s a mustsee for believers and agnostics alike. “Grounded by a performance of monumen-
tal soul from Gleeson as a tough-minded Irish priest marked for death by one of his parishioners, the film offers a mordantly funny survey of small-town iniquity that morphs, almost perceptibly, into a deeply felt lament for a fallen world,” said reviewer Justin Chang of Variety.
Calvary screens Monday at the Towne Cinema at the regular times of 5:15 and 7:45 p.m. Tickets are available one week in advance at the Towne and the Bean Scene for $7. Everyone is welcome. You do not need to be a member of the Vernon Film Society to attend.

Cara Brady/Morning Star
Cynthia Wood (left), with Jerome, seven months, and Selena Russell, with Logan, seven months, enjoy meeting other mothers and babies at the Breastfeeding Café which meets twice a month. World Breastsfeeding Week is celebrated Oct. 1 to 7 in Canada.
In celebration of breastfeeding Cara Brady Morning Star Staff
The customers are always satisfied at the Breastfeeding Café. Mothers and babies of all ages get together to help each other with challenges and celebrate successes. “That’s naturally the thing to do. My husband is very supportive and it’s what we want for our family,” said Amanda Kopiak, one of the facilitators, who is breastfeeding Ocean, eight months, and Cash, two. “We are letting Cash wean himself. It has been a good experience. Other mothers don’t realize that you can breastfeed through pregnancy and feed two babies at once.” Laura Meikle is also breastfeeding two children, Lily Meikle Porup, four months, and Dane Meikle Porup, four, who nurses briefly every couple of days now. “When Mommy nurses me, I feel loved,” Dane whispered, first to his mother and then to the others. Meikle, a former La Leche League leader who is writing a book about parenting, said allowing an older child to keep nursing helps. “We really enjoy coming to the group and meeting the other mothers and children. There’s a great social aspect. Some of us have had the experience of people looking at us in a judgmental way for breastfeeding — of course we do it discreetly in public — and I feel like saying
to them, ‘that’s what breasts are for.’ I think coming to the group makes women feel more confident about breastfeeding when and where their babies need it,” she said. “Breastfeeding is a learned art and the more support, the more success.” Kopiak added, “I think women need to be aware of their rights as a breastfeeding mother in the workplace as well.” Women can come to the Breastfeeding Café while they are pregnant and preparing to breastfeed or when their babies are any age. One mother came with a premature baby.
“That’s what breasts are for.” — Laura Meikle
Tracy Sackman came when Alyssa, now six months, was three weeks old. She had had a difficult delivery. “I was on the verge of giving up on breastfeeding. The nurses at the hospital were encouraging and the midwife got me in touch with the group. If I hadn’t had the support, I would have given up. There was so much I didn’t know,” she said. “My husband was supportive, so were his mom and my mom but they had not breastfed and couldn’t relate. “I learn so much from moms here. I try to come every time they have it. The
greatest reward is the bond I have with Alyssa and knowing no one else can offer her that but me.” Kim Lauritsen brings her first child, Rayne, 10 weeks, to the group. “I couldn’t breastfeed right away and it would have been difficult for me without the support from these women. We can ask questions online in the middle of the night if we have to and in the morning there’s an answer. In the day, you sometimes get an answer in minutes,” she said. Cynthia Wood comes with Jerome, seven months. “I wish I had come sooner. Now I feel comfortable breastfeeding everywhere. I have even breastfed at a hockey game,” she said. She and Selena Russell, who comes with Logan, seven months, both enjoy the social aspects of the group. “I also had some breastfeeding challenges but with the help of the other mothers and practice we got a lot better. Other moms will smile at you when they see you breastfeeding. We had to breastfeed once at a store sitting on some outdoor furniture and the staff was so nice that we later went back and bought the furniture, which was very comfortable.” World Breastfeeding Week is celebrated in Canada Oct. 1 to 7, with local events planned for the first week of October. The Breastfeeding Café meets twice a month. For more information, contact Kopiak at vernonbreastfeedingcafe@gmail.com.

A busy time for the composter
I
would find it hard to complain about the weather we had this September. In July and August I found it too hot many days but at this time of the year, I will take as much sunshine as possible. The nights have been cooler but not cold enough to stop the growth of most plants. As I was wishing for my rain barrels to fill up, I got my wish. Jocelyne Sewell Now I have enough water to give all my plants and trees a good soak before the ground freezes over. I have enough jugs filled up to look after all the houseplants without having to use water from the tap. Every year I plan on getting things done
A GArdener’s diAry
early so I won’t get caught by the frost and somehow, I always fail. This year, however, I started already to put my garden to bed. As I remove my plants, I pile everything in one spot and shred with the old lawnmower to add to the compost. All the compost of the spring and summer is now being added to my beds. The last compost I started, I was able to fill the round composter (Darth Vader) almost to the top within three days. The first day after filling it, the temperature registered 125 F (51 C) on the second day, 135 F (57 C) and on the third day, 146 F (63). It is working very well without adding anything to it but the shredded stuff from the garden. I will have enough leaves soon to add to it. This time of the year is really beautiful. The leaves are changing colours, a lot of flowers that were cut early are starting to bloom again like my alyssum saxatile, the
oriental poppies and the lavender. Some early blooming clematis which I cut when I should not is forgiving me and blooming on new growth. One tomato plant reseeded itself in late spring and most of the tomatoes on it have ripened and it only gets afternoon sun. It looks like it could be a “Siberia” which is early ripening. It has a thick skin but the taste is very nice. Last week I found on the internet, an article by Colleen Vanderlinden about crops that can grow without full sun. As she says, “Keep in mind that no vegetable will grow in full, dense shade. The following crops will produce with three to six hours of sun, or fairly constant dappled shade, per day. Basically, a good rule to remember is that if you grow a plant for the fruit or the root, it needs full sun. If you grow it for the leaves, stems, or buds, a
Helping to ‘stop the menopausal madness’ Morning Star Staff
Brenda Eastwood is on a mission to help women learn how to stop the needless suffering of out-of-balance hormones. On Oct. 9, the international hormone expert will be in Vernon with her signature seminar, “Stop the Menopausal Madness” at the Best Western Vernon Lodge. Eastwood is the author of Get Off the PMS and Peri-menopausal Roller Coaster, Learn 9 Natural Fast Track Solutions to Balanced Hormones. Having suffered her own past challenges (including infertility and premature menopause at 32), Eastwood is passionate about sharing her easyto-implement solutions. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience, she has learned what works and what doesn’t. “Hormonal health goes far beyond dealing with hot flashes and night sweats,” she said. “Out of balance hormones can also cause unjustified weight gain, premature aging, fatigue, insomnia, headaches, skin problems, low sex drive, mood swings, depression, lost
The
productivity and more. It doesn’t have to be this way. Knowledge may be power, but only if you have the correct knowledge.” On Oct. 9, Eastwood will address misleading health advice and provide solutions, as she speaks in her trademark

manner that’s peppered with humour. Sponsored by Woman Of Worth Worldwide (WOW), the seminar takes place from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. WOW collaborates philanthropically with the Inter-cultural Women’s Educational
Network (IWEN) to rescue girls from slavery and provide them with educational scholarships and microfinancing. To register, go to www. HormoneRollerCoaster. com. Use promo code STAR for a discounted registration.

little shade will be just fine. “You can grow salad greens, such as leaf lettuce, arugula, endive, and cress. Broccoli, cauliflower, peas, beets, Brussels sprouts, radishes and Swiss chard. Leafy greens, such as collards, mustard greens, spinach and kale and the last of them, beans.” My Swiss chard this year was the best ever and the leaves were very large and lush and the best ones were growing with a bit of morning sun and no sun at all after 11:30 a.m. My peas did very well on a shaded fence with only about two hours of afternoon sun. Thanksgiving is coming. Every day you should think of many things you are grateful for like living in the beautiful Okanagan Valley with the bounty of our gardens, family and friends.

scene by cable. Multiple people can be lifted to a helicopter for treatment and then taken directly to a hospital or ambulance. Up until now, Vernon SAR has used the conventional helicopter external transport system (HETS). Under this scenario, a helicopter flies to a staging area, where it is then reconfigured to suspend a team member from the end of a long line. They are then taken to the rescue site to collect the injured person, and both individuals are then flown to the staging area. “If there is more than one subject, they have to repeat the entire process,” said Blakely, adding that before heading to a hospital, the ambulance must be reconfigured again. With HWR, response time is reduced and ground support requirements are simplified. Vernon SAR has initiated a two-year trial program and if it’s proven to be a success, the provincial government may allow the program to expand to other communities. Wildcat Helicopter, of West Kelowna, has dedicated a helicopter full-time to Vernon SAR. The initial budget for

the three Rotary clubs and Vernon SAR,” said Blakely. “We could have done it cheaper but we wanted to emphasize safety. We went for top quality
equipment.” It’s expected there could be seven to nine HWR operations a year in the North Okanagan and possibly 25 to 30 in the broader region.

The Goods perform at a recent Avenue Market, hosted by the Downtown Vernon Association. Avenue Market has wrapped up for the 2014 season.
Avenue Market proves popular Morning Star Staff
The inaugural Avenue Market has wrapped up for the season. The market, which ran Friday nights on 30th Avenue from May to September, featured farmfresh produce and locally made products, as well as merchandise from downtown businesses. “Customer traffic is key to the success of both businesses and the market and we couldn’t be more pleased with the turn out for the Avenue Market,” said Lara Konkin, Downtown Vernon Association executive director. “A vibrant and active downtown is a tremendous benefit to those of us who work and own businesses here as well as those that love to shop.” DVA officials say the support of downtown businesses, vendors and the public was critical. “The Downtown Avenue Market helps support the local economy and creates a unique destination, we are fortunate to have such a fantastic location to be able to offer this experience to so many,” said Dina Mostat, Avenue Market co-ordinator. “And the community came out and embraced this new market every week from adding to the atmosphere on our streets and sidewalks, which attracted business to our stores and restaurants nearby.” Lisa VanderVeLde/ Morning star

Canada Post
BELONGS TO ALL CANADIANS! On December 11, 2013, Canada Post announced drastic cutbacks to our public postal service. The Conservative government supports Canada Post’s plan to eliminate all door-to-door mail delivery and the dramatic increase in stamp prices. This is just the latest attack on your public postal service. The service belongs to all of us, and we are mobilizing to force the current federal government and Canada Post executives to consult and listen to the people on what kind of public postal service we all need.You can join us to defend it. The Canadian Union Of Postal Workers invites all members of the general public to attend a public information session on the future of Canada Post.

Garden waste drop-off begins Morning Star Staff
The fall free yard and garden waste drop-off runs from Oct. 15 to Nov. 30 at all North Okanagan landfills and transfer stations. Trimmings, prunings, leaves, grass, mulch, and other organic material less than 20 centimetres in diameter originating from yard and garden maintenance will be accepted for free at the Greater Vernon, Armstrong/ Spallumcheen, and Lumby landfills and the Kingfisher and Cherryville transfer stations during this time.
“This program is for yard and garden waste self-hauled by residents or from residential municipal collection programs only,” said Dale Danallanko, Regional District of North Okanagan recycling and facilities manager. “Please ensure your load is adequately secured with a tarp or cargo net, follow the signs and directions from facility staff, and be sure to empty all bags and boxes containing yard and garden waste.” Operating hours for the facilities can be found at www.rdno.ca.

District of Lake Country officials believer it’s become easier to proceed with development in the community. Municipal staff have improved building permit timelines in the past few months. “Among other things, we have turned to technology to further assist staff when they are in the field,” said Mark Koch, director of community services, referring to the adoption of a mobile app used to ensure inspection accuracy and efficiency. “We’re extremely proud of the building inspections team, Mark Koch who have recently reduced the permit processing time down to less than three weeks – which is the standard throughout the region. “As building activity continues to pick up in the
community, we’re focusing on systems to shorten the timeline even further yet – striving to achieve a two week processing timeline, which customers have enjoyed in slower times.” Building permits are issued in accordance with the local building regulation bylaw and the B.C. Building Code, which has been changed recently, adding to the challenge, as designers become more familiar with updated provincial standards. After a building permit is issued, a series of site inspections occur to ensure that construction conforms to the minimum standards of the building code. “Recognizing that timelines do fluctuate, and that time is but one indicator in providing a safe and efficient building approvals process, it is nonetheless fitting to acknowledge the creative use of technology and hard work of the district’s building inspections team in decreasing permit timelines for their customers, who ensure a safer community, one application at a time,” said Koch.

whereas China used to be criticized for constructing coal power plants, it is now the world leader in solar panel and electric car production. “They know the dangers of fossil fuel and they are cutting back. So are India, Europe and Japan. The cost of solar is dropping fast. To keep climate change under control, the UN has declared that world consumption of fossil fuels must fall by 80 per cent over the next 35 years. “Plans for Canada to become an energy super-power selling high cost, carbon intensive bitumen are unrealistic. A gradual transition building on the progress of other nations will create jobs across Canada in both manufacturing and energy infrastructure. Well paid, long-term jobs that will keep families together in a carbon reduced environment”. Food security is also an issue. “Okanagan-Shuswap has an immediate opportunity to give valley produce premium value if we declare certain products GMO free,” said Smith.

Council term ending early richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Business will wrap up early for Vernon’s current council. The regular council meeting scheduled for Nov. 24 has been cancelled because it will fall after the Nov. 15 election, which will lead to a new mayor and council. “This is becoming more common across the province,” said Will Pearce, chief administrative officer, of the outgoing council completing its Will Pearce business prior to the election. Such a situation occurred in Vernon in 2011 but that was a decision of the then-mayor and not council as a whole. The final meeting for the current council will be Nov. 10 and the inaugural meeting for the new council will be Dec. 1.

Young stars shoot for Cashspiel GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
With some of the bigger names taking a slight breather after a busy Olympic year, opportunity knocks for up-andcomers on both the men’s and women’s curling scenes. Fans can catch the next wave of talent as the Vernon Curling Club hosts 24 women’s and 16 men’s rinks at the Prestige Hotels & Inns Curling Classic starting Thursday. These newcomers will battle in a strong field of international and Canadian teams looking for solid starts to the season, and, of course, a slice of the $63,000 purse. Young rinks such as 2013 Canadian junior champion Corryn Brown of Kamloops and 2014 Scotties silver medallist Val Sweeting of Edmonton are in the mix on the women’s draw, as are national teams from Japan (Ayumi Ogasawara), China (Sijia Liu) and Korea (EunJung Kim). “There are some new up-and-coming teams in the country,” said Vernon rink manager Dave Merklinger. “These guys and ladies are trying to get good enough to go to the Olympics and they’ve got four years to do it.” Kelowna’s Kelly Scott, the 2007 world champ, enters the season with a slightly revamped lineup. Mary-Anne Arsenault, who earned a pair of world titles and five national crowns with Colleen Jones, heads a rink from Halifax. The women’s triple-knockout tournament starts Thursday, 5 p.m. Tickets are $30 for the week (men’s and women’s), or $10 day rate. Merklinger noted the 8 p.m. draw on Saturday is free,

Cotter is heading a new rink, featuring Vernon’s Ryan Kuhn at third, at this week’s Prestige Hotels Classic Cashspiel. Women’s draws start at 5 p.m. Thursday at the Vernon Curling Club. and will be followed by the Shawn Lightfoot Band at 9 p.m. “This spiel is one of the few spiels where they combine
men’s and women’s teams,” he said. “It’s always a good time.” On the men’s side, Vernon skip Jim Cotter begins the season with a new-look lineup that features local Ryan Kuhn at third. John Morris, last year’s skip (Cotter threw fourth stones), joined Alberta’s Kevin Koe in the offseason. Front-enders Tyrel Griffith and Rick Sawatsky round out the foursome. Koe topped the Morris/Cotter crew 10-5 in the Tim Hortons Brier last season. “With the addition of Ryan, he’s just a great guy and a fantastic player,” said the easy-going Cotter, of Kuhn, a 2000 world champion. “We’re pumped up and we’re excited for it.” Cotter will battle Peter Nielsen (third Evan Brantter, second Kyle Duncan, lead David MacDonald) in an allVernon affair to open the men’s draw Friday at 1 p.m. Vernon’s Jamie Sexton (third James McKenzie, second Hugh Bennett, lead Rob Nobert) also gets underway in the 1 p.m. draw against Edmonton’s Brendan Bottcher. Other cashspiel regulars include Brent Pierce’s New Westminster/Kelowna rink, Sean Geall of New Westminster and Ken McArdle of Vancouver. Similar to the women’s draw, there is a strong Asian flavour with foursomes from Japan (Yusuke Morozumi), Korea (Se Hyeon Seong) and Chinese Taipei (Randie Shen). Women’s playoffs begin Sunday with semifinals at noon and the championship game at 3 p.m. The men’s quarters are 9 a.m. Monday, with semis at noon and final at 3 p.m. Visit www.worldcurl.com for the complete draw.
Ferner wastes no time in revamping roster Unhappy with what he witnessed in three games back as head coach/GM of the Vernon Vipers, Mark Ferner has already tinkered with his lineup. Mark O’Shaughnessy, a 17-year-old left-shooting defenceman from West Vancouver, was sent to the Viper den Monday by the Western Hockey League Kootenay Ice. Also in town is 6-foot-4, 195-pound left winger Mitch Friesen, 18, who played the last two years with the WHL Kamloops Blazers. The Surrey native had four points in 67 games and played one game in Kamloops this season. He rang up 56 points in major midget as a 15-year-old. Neither player has been signed yet because Ferner will have to move some regulars to make room on his 22-man roster. Ferner and assistants Kevin Kraus and Eric Godard ran an extra-long practice Tuesday to push along the Vipers’ conditioning. Vernon lost 4-0 to the West Kelowna Warriors in their home opener Saturday night at Kal Tire Place and then fell 7-4 to the visiting Langley Rivermen in a Sunday matinee. Ferner held a closed-door team meeting for 20 minutes following the loss to Langley before holding discussions with a few players. “I told them these three games (Vipers iced the Warriors 4-1 Friday night on the road) were about assessing and getting
WVB1104
to know them and seeing where we’re at,” said Ferner. “We have a lot of work to do. We have a lot of change, but I don’t care what you did last year. We have a system we want followed, but if you don’t have conditioning, you can’t do any of that. Structurally, we’re not very good.” The Rivermen came in 0-2 with a full week of practice and rest, went 2-for-4 on the powerplay and got a couple of lucky bounces for the win before 1,300 fans. Brendan Gulka pocketed 2+1 for the Rivermen, while Will Cook and NHL prospect Marcus Vela each recorded 1+2 and other goals came from Gage Torrel, Jacob Zeleznikar and captain Kevin (Killer) Kilistoff. Riley Brandt, on a one-timer from the low slot after a feed by Branden Wagner, Thomas Aldworth, on a sweet breakaway snipe, Mackenzie Bauer, with his third of the season on a backhander, and Liam Coughlin, with a tap in after a gorgeous pass from Jagger Williamson, replied for the Vipers (2-2-0-1). Bauer levelled the score at 3-3 early in the third before Gulka bounced a shot from behind the net off goalie Jarrod Schamerhorn and in for the lead. Coughlin made it 4-4 39 seconds later before Gulka again gave Langley a one-goal advantage. Cook then waltzed through the Viper zone, untouched, going backhand top cheese. Vela added an empty netter with 13 seconds to play.
On the weekend, Viper alternate captain Ken Citron said: “We had a good first game in West Kelowna. We were playing hard, we were playing the systems well, doing all the right things. We were working hard in our own end which pays off when you get goals in the other end if you keep them off the board. In those two other games, that work ethic that made us successful just wasn’t there and it’s unacceptable.” Citron wasn’t blaming the losses on youth – the Snakes had 10 rookies playing. “It falls on the leadership group. It’s not just the rookies. Those guys are working hard. As a leader, you feel the load on your shoulders to show the younger guys what they need to be doing. We wanna crank that up a little bit. We got a couple of guys out of the lineup coming back soon and hopefully that helps a bit.” Citron believes good teams create their own luck and feels the Vipers didn’t sweat enough to buy a break. “They’ve (Langley) got a big, physical team. If we had used our speed a little more, we could have exposed them a bit.” Said Langley head coach Bobby Henderson, who also dressed 10 freshman: “I give Vernon a lot of credit, they played a heckuva game for their third game in three nights. They had pretty good legs all the way through it and we were just opportunistic to capitalize on our chances.”

Warriors sap Viper attack
Lions maim Magnums Morning Star Staff
Continued from A27
The Rivermen, who only had to kill three penalties, topped the BCHL last year before being upset by the eventual Fred Page Cup champion Coquitlam Express. “All in all, we like our team,” said Henderson. “We think we’re pretty well balanced. We obviously have to clean up in some areas, but it’s early. We’re happy with the two points.” Added Kilistoff: “It was a good road game for us. Vernon was coming off two games straight and we had fresh legs going in. We played hard, Vernon played hard back and we just ended up coming with the win.” Jordan Masters scored twice as the Warriors shut out the Vipers 4-0 Saturday night before 1,770 fans at Kal Tire Place. Masters, a 20-year-old New Yorker, converted twice within 2:28 late in the first period. He bolted out of the penalty box and after some confusion between the Viper defence and goalie Danny Todoyschuk, buried the puck into an empty net for his first goal. Liam Blackburn and Jason Cotton drew assists. Masters then clicked on the powerplay just 33 seconds into a hooking penalty by Vernon defenceman Mitchell Oliver. Brett Mennear neatly deflected a point shot by Mac Ferner to make it 3-0 Warriors at 5:55 of the second period. Kylar Hope added further insurance three minutes later as the 3-1 Warriors enjoyed a 5-on-3 powerplay with

The Magnums entertain the Kelowna Riders Saturday, 1 p.m., at Grahame park. In Junior Bantam exhibition play Saturday, the host Magnums bowed 24-0 to the hard-hitting Victoria Renegades. Vernon was busy all game, recording tackles, recovering fumbles, making difficult catches in traffic and blocking field goals. Offensive standouts were Charles Lemay with 45 total yards, Riley MacGillivray with 30, Logan Higgs with 25 and Zack Smith with 30 running and 20 passing yards. Isaiah Ondrik contributed 20 yards rushing and 30 passing, while boosting the defence with seven tackles at corner. Higgs and Lemay had 19 tackles between them with Thomas Hyett supplying five and Carson Harrower with four.

Knights ink Andrusiak
On The Run
KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
MARK BRETT/BLACK PRESS
Vernon athlete Liam McGrath heads along the last leg of the trail of the Interior Running Association Campbell Mountain Cross Country race in Penticton Sunday. The teen finished the course in 39 minutes, 15 seconds to take top spot in his division and third overall in the points series event.
North Okanagan Knights’ head coach/GM Jim Armstrong worked the phones searching for offence and uncovered a nugget named Zack Andrusiak. The 16-year-old was listed by the Western Hockey League Tri-City Americans a year ago and got in six exhibition games this season before being released. Andrusiak, an Armstrong product, rang up 35 goals and 82 points in 66 games with the Pursuit of Excellence U18 team last season. “They (Americans) were happy with my play, but they’d rather see me play a lot and light it up rather than sit in the stands,” said Andrusiak, a 5-foot-10, 165-pound left winger. He watched four Tri-City regular-season games from the press box. “It (pre-season) was good. I never did score my first goal, but I was getting chances. We played Red Deer in Tri-City and I hit three posts; I was getting chances all over the place.” A Buffalo Sabres’ fan, Andrusiak is best known for his offence, but says he is responsible in his own team’s zone as well. Born in Yorkton, he played several years for his father, Vince, who coached the Yorkton Terriers for more than a decade. Armstrong will happily have Andrusiak in the lineup Friday night when the Knights host the 0-5 Columbia Valley Rockies at Nor-Val Sports Centre. “Zack brings, even at 16, the offensive touch we’ve been missing,” said Armstrong. “He’s a northsouth player with hands, a player that is hard to find.” The 2-4-0-2 Knights, who have mustered just 14 goals in eight games, the worst in the 20-team league, exploded for a few Sunday afternoon in a

Condors brush back Maroons 55-26
Morning Star Staff
Darrien Broomfield reeled in two touchdown passes as the Fulton Maroons bowed 55-26 to the host Duchess Park Condors of Prince George in high school varsity football play Saturday night. Broomfield snared eight- and 35-yard tosses from Grade 9 quarterback Ike Olson for Fulton, who had 18 junior varsity players in their lineup. Caden Doyle added a 12-yard reception from Olson and Taran Lafond scampered in on an eightyarder to complete the attack. Despite the score, the Fulton staff was happy with the effort. “Our young kids did a good job of competing against a very good Duchess team that should win the Northern Conference,” said Fulton head coach
Mike Scheller. “Last week, we were not happy with our intensity or effort. We got better on Friday night and will continue to do so. Our passing game looked pretty good and we were able to run the ball late in the game.” Scheller added the Maroons played well defensively, but need to tighten up as they got burned on some big plays, including several long passes. Lafond was lights-out at running back and kick returner, rushing for 78 yards. Olson took over in the second half and went 5-for-8. Scheller said he was very calm under pressure in leading the offence efficiently. Defensive end Sikandar Ahmad showed leadership and dedication, and defensive tackle Connor Annesley was a force on the inside.
3-1 win over the Creston Valley Thunder Cats. The Knights bowed 6-1 to the host Summerland Steam Saturday night. Asked about the turnaround Sunday, Armstrong said: “Losing the night before. The kids had better focus and played for the full 60 minutes.” Mitchell Lukacs, unassisted, in the first period, and Logan Geefs, from d-man Matt Halvorson, gave the Knights a 2-0 lead over the Thunder Cats after 40 minutes. Trevor Beaton pulled Creston Valley within a goal with 4:49 remaining, but Kelowna Midget Tier 1 affiliate Ryan Pereverzoff clinched things with 13 seconds left. Austin Garrington and Halvorson drew assists. Mitch Profeit made 27 saves for the Knights, while Olivier Charest blocked 23 shots for the Cats. Lukacs and Connor Kidd of Creston were the players of the game. In Summerland, d-man Layne Greene converted on the powerplay for the Knights’ goal. Geefs and Tyler Mork earned helpers. Paulsen Lautard (2+1), Jack Mills, Kendall Wilson, Easton Bodeux and Calvin Hadley handled the Steam offence. The Steam outshot the Knights 47-27 with Brett Huber taking the win and Profeit the loss. Brady Lenardon relieved Profeit and stopped 20 of 22 shots for first star. The Knights released 16-year-old d-man Willie Daigneault of Gibsons and were bringing in forwards from Quesnel and Burns Lake to practice Tuesday. The Osoyoos Coyotes top the KIJHL table at 7-0, followed by the Kimberley Dynamiters at 5-0, the Steam and Fernie Ghostriders both at 5-1 and the Nelson Leafs at 4-1-1.

Tristan Quiring made a number of good saves in the Viper net. In female Midget AAA play, the Thompson Okanagan Lakers suffered a pair of 7-3 losses to the visiting Northern Cougars of Prince George. Tylee Cooper of Armstrong, assisted by Kristen Tse of West Kelowna, accounted for the Lakers’ opening goal Saturday. Mairyn Tucker of Armstrong, from Andie

The
Bridge by Phillip Alder WE HAVE ONE FIT; DO WE HAVE ANOTHER? We have been looking at deciding between two possible trump suits. Of course, to have this quandary, two suits usually have to be bid and raised. And in this direction, if a fit is found and one player has a two-suiter, he often should show his second suit, especially in a competitive auction. For example, look at today’s deal. Both South and West can help their partner’s highlevel bidding decision. After South opens one spade, West passes, North raises to two spades, and East overcalls three clubs, what should South do? If a jump to four spades would silence the opponents, that would be a sensible
choice (although it is an overbid). But what if West competes with five clubs? Should North-South let them stew or go on to five spades? Neither player knows. However, if South rebids three diamonds, showing his second suit, North will be aware of the double fit and can happily bid on at the fivelevel. And, yes, West can also make a good bid. Over South’s three-diamond rebid, West should advance with three hearts. This cannot just be advertising a long heart suit and sufficient values to compete at the threelevel, because West did not intervene on the first round. This bid shows heart length and club support (although admittedly not necessarily as
good as queen-fourth). Now look at the full deal. You will see that five clubs is unbeatable for plus 600. But five spades doubled goes down only two, minus 500. When you have a double fit, it is usually best to declare, especially with the minority of the high-card points.

Kingfisher gets support Morning Star Staff
An organization dedicated to the environment and education has received a significant boost. A fundraising dinner and auction was held at the Riverside Community Hall Saturday to help the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre recover from a landslide and flood earlier this year. “A sold-out crowd enjoyed a sumptuous salmon dinner, great entertainment and took part in an enthusiastic live auction led by Gail Viens. They helped raise more than $10,000,” said Jackie Pearase, rural Enderby director for the Regional District of North Okanagan. “Add to that another $7,000 in sponsorships, online donations and personal donations and it raised a tidy sum to help the KIC get back up and running.” The centre’s annual Thanksgiving salmon egg take will take place Oct. 11 to 12. “There has been a lot of activity around the centre this fall despite the setback,” said Neil Brookes, KIC operations manager.

Carpool Month runs throughout the Okanagan from Oct. 6 to 31. During this period, commuters are encouraged to visit Carpool.ca and participate in various activities to be eligible to win $100 free fuel cards. Residents are urged to consider using the carpool-matching service provided at Carpool.ca as a transportation alternative. “By working in partnership with the Regional District of North Okanagan and other regional partners, we assist in building the capacity of this service, which helps reduce the impact on our roads and the environment. Carpooling makes good economic sense for motorists and our communities,” said Rob Sawatzky, Vernon mayor. “Although the costs of gas and parking are readily noticeable, the true costs of owning and operating a vehicle are much higher than most drivers would suspect.” According to Statistics Canada, the average Canadian household spends more than $12,000 per year on transportation alone, the second highest family expense after housing.

Ask the Darryl Walker
EXPERTS Brian Sanjenko
CET, HIS Hearing Instrument Specialist
Q: A:
I just had a tympanogram done and it was negative. What does this mean?
A tympanogram test helps answer the following questions: Is the eardrum intact? Do the middle ear bones move? Is there fluid in the middle ear? Does the middle ear system move and work normally? Normally if a test is “negative” that means the results were within normal limits. What is a little confusing in this case is that there can be a “negative” pressure in the middle ear that shows on a tympanogram. This “negative” test result on a tympanogram most often means that the ear drum is retracted into the middle ear, or the middle ear has fluid, not allowing eardrum to move. If this were the case, your Hearing Healthcare provider would refer you to your doctor as this condition that needs to be treated by a physician.

Q:
Do all home inspectors use a Thermal Imaging Camera (Infrared) and what are the benefits of thermal imaging?
A:
Not all home inspectors use a Thermal Imaging Camera; in fact I am one of the only home inspectors in the Okanagan that uses a Thermal Imaging Camera. I use the camera on every home inspection that I do. The benefits of using thermal imaging technology are numerous, but in a nutshell, this is a close as one can come to x-raying a home. The camera sees and records heat. The different temperatures are registered in different colors. With that one can see where cold air is entering a home, wet spots that may indicate mold or roof leaks that may not be otherwise visible. Missing or poorly installed insulation in walls and ceilings can also be seen. Insect infestations in walls can be seen due to the heat a nest may generate. Overheating electrical breakers and circuits can also be seen. This is just some of the applications of this type of camera. Having a thermal imaging scan done on your home can reveal areas that may need improvement and save you the homeowner dollars. We can all use that.

Q: A:
Open burning season in Lake Country and the North Westside Road area will begin today. Under Regional District of Central Okanagan and local fire bylaws, permitted open burning may start Oct. 1 and must be complete by April 30. Fire chiefs may change the dates depending on the fire hazard in their area. Starting today, those people with properties greater than one hectare will be allowed to burn outdoors, but only after receiving a permit from their local fire authority and only after confirming that burning is allowed on a particular day. Farmers and large lot owners must also follow any regulations before lighting any fire. Residents can obtain a permit by calling 250469-6223.
What is the difference between a Mortgage Broker and a Bank Mortgage Specialist?
That is a really great question! An Invis Mortgage Broker is 100% independent of any Financial Institution, Real Estate Firm or Lender. We offer a vast array of Lenders and Products to our clients and the Client’s best interest is always respected. As a Mortgage Broker, I have obtained my Accredited Mortgage Professional designation from the Canadian Association of Accredited Mortgage Professionals, confirming my commitment to yearly ongoing education and to ethical business practices. A Bank Mortgage Specialist is an employee of a Financial Institution offering a single Bank product. (All licensed Mortgage Broker will be registered with the Financial Institution of BC –under FICOM. You can also verify a qualified Mortgage Broker by their business card as it will not have a Bank Logo). Invis Mortgage Brokers are compensated by the Lender receiving the mortgage OAC/ E&O

Q: A:
What is self-sabotage? As Debbie Ford notes, selfsabotage comes in many forms. We may practice one, two, or all of these examples of self-sabotage:
• Distractions that pull us away from our dreams • Comparing ourselves to others and coming up short • Listening to our inner critic – that inner voice that never seems to stop telling us all the things we are doing wrong and all the ways ‘we are wrong’ • Beating ourselves up for not being perfect • Listening and honouring all the should’s in our life, e.g. should think of others first, should work and not play, should say yes when someone wants us to do something • Not standing up for yourself when others treat you disrespectfully Any of these resonate with you?
