Judge delays RDNO sentencing ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

A provincial court judge has delayed sentencing of the Regional District of North Okanagan in connection with a water contamination case due to his dislike of a portion of a next-day radio interview. Judge Mayland McKimm told Crown lawyer Joel Gold and defence lawyer Rob Bruneau at the beginning of sentence proceedings Wednesday that he was adjourning the matter because he was “concerned greatly” over

comments made to CBC-Radio by a person he believed to be the regional district board chairperson. In September, McKimm found the regional disrict guilty of failing to provide potable water, allow contamination of drinking water, introduce foreign matter into a well and operate a well in a manner to cause adverse impact in connection with the contamination of the Antwerp Springs water source in January 2010. The next day, while in his car, McKimm heard a report on the

case on the CBC. “The comments made by a person who I think is the board chair of the regional district strongly suggested the regional district had done all it could to protect the people from contamination,” said McKimm Wednesday. “That’s a rather astonishing comment because they could have just shut off the well or used the deep well. “What made it troubling was it sounded like a public official making disparaging comments about the justice system.” McKimm told the court he was

“seeing red” over the comments he heard on the radio. The board chairperson of the regional district is Patrick Nicol, who did talk to several media outlets, including The Morning Star, after the verdict was rendered. On Thursday, Nicol responded to McKimm’s comments. “The interviews I’ve done on behalf of the board, every one of them, has always respected the rule of law,” said Nicol. “We have demonstrated that as a board by taking this through the court system and understanding that he has

the right to weigh all of that information and make his decision. “There’s other processes that follow that when he makes that decision. In at least one or two of my comments, I praised him (McKimm) for the reasons given.” McKimm has asked for a transcript of the radio broadcast. Bruneau said he would seek clarification of the comments but stated his clients were not likely showing indifference to the judge’s ruling. Both sides will meet Wednesday to fix a date for sentencing.

Vernon mayor challenges finance minister richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s mayor went head-to-head with the provincial government Wednesday. During a Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce luncheon, Rob Sawatzky accused Finance Minister Michael de Jong of improving B.C.’s bottom line on the backs of municipalities through downloading of services. “Local governments have to take it over,” he said. “Local government doesn’t mind taking on those responsibilities provided we have the ability to generate the revenue to do it.” Sawatzky says cities can only generate revenue through prop— Sawatzky erty taxes, whereas in some provinces and states, they get a cut of the sales tax. “In many U.S. municipalities, they tax your car or boat.” However, de Jong defended the government’s stance by saying that strong economies allow communities to provide services. “When you say no to a development project, you are saying no to that (services),” he said. De Jong also indicated that Victoria provides traffic fine revenue to municipalities. De Jong was also urged to create a specific stream of money for cultural facilities, such as museums and art galleries. “Right now, it gets watered down with other infrastructure and other provinces have that (separate) pocket of money,” said Dauna Kennedy Grant, Vernon Public Art

“Local governments have to take it over.”

Kennedy Grant also told de Jong that cultural amenities create jobs and encourage people to invest in communities. Another topic that was raised was the multiple-governance structure currently in Greater Vernon. “It’s become a challenge for businesses to get permits and authorizations,” said lawyer

Ian Hawes, who says a single governance model would reduce red tape. De Jong says he supports a citizen-based petition that is trying to determine if there is broad support for amalgamation. “The idea of taking a local pulse is really important. It’s tough for another level of government to impose a solution,” said de Jong. “I hope you give Eric (MLA Eric Foster)

City buys Lakeshore Road property richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Taxpayers own another chunk of land along a Vernon road. City officials revealed Tuesday that they have purchased a lot at 2605 Lakeshore Road for $250,000. “It’s necessary to Bob Spiers

further the ultimate roadway there,” said Coun. Bob Spiers. The city’s intent is to demolish the house and garage on the property. There is no firm timeline for the new road, which would connect Lakeshore and Cummins roads, and it will depend either on existing property owners contributing funds or future development. Purchasing the lot is just the latest action in the city’s waterfront neighbourhood plan. The long-term goal is to

see residential and commercial development along Okanagan Lake. “It’s part of what the community has envisioned in terms of taking advantage of its assets,” said Mayor Ron Sawatzky of Vernon’s location on the lake. The Regional District of North Okanagan currently owns 10 lots on Lakeshore Road for beach access. Those properties will transfer to the City of Vernon Jan. 1 as part of the regional parks restructuring.

News Verma found guilty of murder

Officers defend animal response RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Negative publicity won’t keep conservation officers from making some difficult decisions. The recent killings of an overly-friendly deer and a sow bear and two cubs in Coldstream were addressed head on as Barb Leslie, an inspector with the Conservation Officer Service, spoke to the Regional District of the North Okanagan board Wednesday. “We’ve had some tremendous controversy on some of the actions we’ve taken in this area,” she said. However, Leslie insists that both the deer and the bears had been aggressive towards people and the situations were only going to escalate unless something was done. “Public safety is No. 1. We have to ensure citizens are protected.” From April 1 to Oct. 7, there have been 1,215 cases of problem wildlife in the North Okanagan. That compares to 1,673 for all of 2012/13, with 679 of those cases being black bears. Leslie is urging residents to minimize conflicts with bears by securing garbage and barbecues, cleaning up ripe fruit and removing bird feeders. “Make sure your yard is inhospitable to wildlife.” Beyond bears, questions arose Wednesday around a recent influx of coyotes in Okanagan Landing. “I’ve lived there 23 years and there have never been so many incidents of them in broad daylight,” said director Juliette Cunningham, adding that there is a concern about pets and small children. Leslie says officers only respond to coyote complaints when there is a direct public threat. “Coyotes are extremely adaptive and in an urban setting, there is lots to eat, whether it’s field mice or feral cats,” she said. Leslie was also asked about illegal dumping in rural areas, and she says her office is willing to provide local bylaw enforcement with remote cameras. “If we get people coming into a site with garbage, we will follow up on it,” she said. Leslie is also encouraging residents to report cases of illegal dumping. “If you see someone coming up the road (with garbage) and then coming back down empty, take a picture,” she said. To report poachers and polluters, residents can call 1-877-952-7277.

Motocross passion on track Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

Even after an accident that ended his own pro-motocross career, leaving him paralyzed and in a wheelchair, Vernon’s Brent Worrall continues to play a prominent role on the track. The former Canadian motocross champion, who was ranked No. 10 in the world in his class, broke his back and neck in six places, fractured his clavicle, sternum and multiple ribs and had both his lungs collapse during an unfortunate crash in 2011.

Even though he now rides a different set of wheels, Worrall’s love for the sport is as strong as ever. As an announcer for races at the Kelowna Dirt Bike Club, who also has an online radio show to enhance the growth of the sport post-injury, he has inspired the club to host a fundraiser for a cause close to Worrall’s heart. The club hosts a fundraiser for Spinal Cord Injury B.C. Sunday at the Bear Creek MX Park. “They were very inspired by my giving back to the sport and club even after my injury,” said Worrall. “They have told me

that my persistence to not let go of what I love and share my knowledge and passion for it has prompted them to help my peer group.” For Worrall, hospitalization and rehabilitation saved his life, but SCI’s peer group opened many doors for him and his family. “I would not have the quality of life I have today or the zest for it for that matter without my connection to my Spinal Cord Peers,” said Worrall, a father of three. Following rehabilitation, he felt alone, isolated and unsure of what the future would hold. Until he was intro-

duced to the weekly peer group. “Once there I was able to connect with others who had overcome some of the hurdles and obstacles I was faced with and would have to deal with for the rest of my life,” said Worrall, also noting the invaluable support for partners and spouses. “Having the ability to talk about some of the sensitive and personal issues that surround spinal cord injury with someone who has dealt with and is dealing with is an intangible.” To support the group that has changed Worrall’s life, riders of all abilities are encouraged to collect pledges

Transit stalled by costs richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Demands for expanded transit have hit a deadend because of staggering costs. Vernon council has decided not to provide transit from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. seven days a week because such a service would have a price tag of $12 million. “It’s a worthy goal to work towards,” said Coun. Patrick Nicol, adding, though, that the cost makes such a service extension difficult at this time. Of the $12 million, the city’s portion would be $6,418,000 while the remainder would be picked up by B.C. Transit and Coldstream. Resident Winnifred Hibbert recently presented council with a 3,191-name petition demanding that transit run from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. seven days a week. “It’s wonderful that she brought the issue forward,” said Nicol, who was impressed with Hibbert’s argument that improved transit would benefit people trying to get to work. “Young working people with families can save money by living closer to the core and getting to work and that’s healthy for the community,” said Nicol. Hibbert’s request will be considered by the city as it reviews the transit future plan and adopts a

Meals on Wheels needs volunteers Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

A vital community program, serving proper meals to those in need, is now in need of some help. The Meals on Wheels program, run through the Schubert Centre, got back up and running in the summer thanks to a federal government grant. But now volunteers are needed to continue to serve the community need. “This program provides three to seven full meals a week to the seniors, convalescents, hand— Toporchak icapped and disabled citizens of the community and has been very successful to date,” said Deanna Toporchak, program manager. Since its reinstatement in August, the program has been serving 43 meals each delivery day. “These are 43 people who, without this program, would not have a proper meal to eat,” said Toporchak. The meals are delivered by community volunteers, between the hours of 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. “If you have a few free hours, your help would be greatly appreciated,” said Toporchak. The days are flexible – for example if you would only like to deliver on Mondays – and volunteers are teamed up with someone who would like to do the same. To cover the five routes, 10 volunteers are needed each day of delivery (five drivers and five helpers). The scheduling for these routes is done at the Schubert Centre office. For more information, contact Schubert Centre manager Jack Gareb, or program manager Deanna Toporchak at 250-549-4201

The national holiday celebrated by many marks a day of thanks for all the seemingly ‘little’ things we enjoy in life – a bounty of food, fine friends, loving family and cheers to good health. And who doesn’t love an extra day off? Thanks to some great weather this week (albeit a bit frosty in the a.m.) we’ve also been treated to some gorgeous fall Jennifer Smith scenery. They say the best time in the Okanagan is the summer, but I just love seeing all the leaves illuminated with bold reds, yellows and oranges and there’s something so peaceful about the lakes and beaches when they aren’t packed with boaters, tourists and sun-seekers. It’s also a bittersweet season. With summer’s fun over, we try to soak up the final warmth in the autumn sun’s rays, knowing winter is just around the corner. The sun is expected to stick around for a while longer, so enjoy the season before the rain washes its beauty away and the snow starts to fly. Plus this is the perfect season to snap some Kodak moments of the family. As beautiful as fall can be, it can also bring some unexpected blues. Many people start to feel the effects of the changing seasons, with the crisp temperatures cooling off spirits. But before the winter blues come into full effect, soak up all the joy of the season and carry that Thanksgiving mentality with you. You don’t have to give into feelings of depression, you can fight them with the warmth of all our bounty, beauty and blooming relationships, you know, those ‘little’ things. Now obviously for some, including those suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder, that’s easier said then done. While those with more severe cases of depression

need additional support, it’s the milder cases that can often be combatted with a little mind over matter. Take it one day at a time. Don’t get ahead of yourself by stressing about the endless fall cleanup chores around the house or, dare I say it, the coming chaos of Christmas. I know the retail world isn’t helping any in that matter – we haven’t even celebrated Halloween yet and they’ve already decked the shelves with bells and holly. Or maybe the holidays are just what you need to focus on. All the joy surrounding the season is often looked forward to by many. This may just be the time to start planning and thinking about it – even if you do dread it. It also doesn’t help that the days are growing shorter. Before we know it we will be starting our days in the dark and heading home from work in the dark. No thanks to the looming time change – we fall back an hour Nov. 3. Just try not to fall into the depths of the darkness. Stay positive. Look on the bright side of life, no matter what life has thrown your way. Enjoy and be thankful for all those ‘little’ things. But don’t forget the big picture. Sometimes we get so caught up with the small tasks of the day, the chores, the time pressures that we forget to sit back and enjoy the bigger picture. We complain about our jobs instead of appreciating the great company of co-workers and management, and just being thankful for having that paycheque. We fight with our spouses over things we often look back at and realize are insignificant compared to all that they do for us (and put up with from us) on a daily basis. We nag at our children, often over-parenting when what we really need to do more of is getting down to their level, playing and enjoying the time with them. Life is too short to live miserably. Count the many blessings you have, be thankful for them and enjoy the precious moments of life before they pass you by.

Vernon Mayor Rob Sawatzky provided provincial Finance Minister Michael de Jong with a reality check Wednesday. During a presentation to the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce, de Jong presented a cautiously optimistic synopsis of B.C.’s economy and highlighted the Liberals’ ability to reduce spending. Waiting patiently until others at the meeting asked questions, Sawatzky rose and protested ongoing government downloading on to municipalities. “Local government has to take it over,” he said. The list of items that keep being dumped on to municipalities ranges from milfoil weed control and highway landscaping to social programs and flood prevention. Victoria makes its bottom line look better while municipalities and regional districts struggle with only property taxes as a source of revenue. Sawatzky pointed out to de Jong that some provinces and states provide municipalities with a portion of the sales tax as a way of handling all of the demands placed on them. “In many U.S. municipalities, they tax your car or boat,” he said. No one likes the prospect of more taxes, but the reality is that Victoria takes a lot of money out of communities but doesn’t fulfill all of its obligations. Creating more revenue sources for municipalities may not be the ultimate solution but it’s obvious that the provincial government has to evolve its relationship beyond traffic revenue fines and grants for the occasional infrastructure project. Hopefully, de Jong heard Sawatzky loud and clear and will take the message back to Premier Christy Clark.

heritage important Armstrong is about to lose one of its most unique heritage buildings with the removal of the old Pea Growers office building (Junction Cafe) and the beautiful cut maple tree that was planted in the courtyard in 1945, just after the Second World War almost 70 years ago by Neil Bosomworth, who owned this building. The thought of this happening has led me to take a closer look at and have a greater appreciation of the original downtown core of Armstrong. The following is an excerpt of an article from the Heritage B.C. website titled, A Call to Action from Barry Janyk, a former fourterm mayor of Gibson's, B.C. "From a global historical perspective, British Columbia is young, and part of our challenge is to recognize and protect those features from British Columbia’s past that are of heritage value now, especially in terms of looking to the future.

The arts provide economic power

he social benefits of the arts on individual and community development has been argued and debated over many tables. Urban and regional planners, elected officials, and other decisionmakers are increasingly focused on what makes places livable. Access to the arts inevitably appears high on that list, but knowledge about how culture and the arts can act as a tool of economic development is sadly lacking and one that always ends up in a debate. It is kind of like using an eight-track player trying to hear music today. Outdated thinking. It takes me back years ago in Vernon. The same debate that was had over the arena/performing arts centre decision. We now know how great the performing arts centre has been for Vernon, and that it is not the white elephant that it was stated it was going to be. This important sector must be considered not only as a source of amenities or pleasant diversions,

but as a wholly integrated part of our economies when we decide the art gallery and museum fate. There are the social and health benefits that we know are important. But the power of the arts is far beyond that. It is our economy. It is for the life of dying communities everywhere, as young people flock to the larger centres. However, facts speak. There is a significant body of evidence to support this argument, if we took the time to investigate. To educate ourselves in the industry of the arts. The very places most of our children will earn their livings, or leave our community to find ones

that are progressive and creative. From the early 1980s to now, arts and cultural activity has become an increasing feature of urban regeneration programs globally, as large cities and small industrial towns in particular, sought solutions to economic restructuring and the decline of traditional manufacturing industry. Taking their inspiration from the experiences of American and European cities, major cities and small towns embarked on ambitious cultural development strategies, often based on flagship capital projects. These strategies were given added momentum by the

we value and where we came from, will give them understanding of how they came to be. There is not one of us, who travel this incredible province, that doesn’t make a point of looking for the local museum and historic sites to spend time trying to trace the history of the amazing communities that make up our province." Protecting, preserving and restoring these heritage sites should be a priority and if a unique building like this one and a tree as special as the cut maple has to be removed, then hopefully it would be replaced with something that reflects the historic character that exists in this original part of Armstrong. The recycling depot has done a great job of achieving this with their new facility. This part of Armstrong is a very special place with its old western themed buildings and one can see the sense of pride that exists here with the business and building owners in the way they have been cared for.

With a fresh coat of paint on a few others and perhaps a new facade on some, the character that exists here could be transformed even further. For example, someone suggested to me that by simply adding a facade to the CIBC building, it could easily take a step back in time and create the look of a bank out of the old west. It would fit right in with the rest of the area and one would have to admit, would look pretty cool. Maybe even adding a westernthemed mural somewhere on the side of it. Armstrong is celebrating its 100th birthday this year and so it would seem especially important at this centennial anniversary to treasure and preserve this town's history and its uniqueness. Looking to the past to determine the future. I can't think of a more fitting way to close this than by quoting a line from Joni Mitchell's Big Yellow Taxi.

publications of studies on the economic importance of the arts globally which established the arts sector as a significant, growing and value-added sector in its own right, with a turnover of billions and the employment of millions of people. Here is my challenge. Google the economic power of the arts. You will find numerous studies and stats to prove what I am asking our city to research. The studies will give the facts to show that direct spending on the arts leads to spending in other sectors of the economy, which in turn leads to enhanced wealth and job creation, and make cities appear more attractive to citizens and companies. The studies show the far-reaching impact on the cultural sector and strengthen the argument for the economic impact of the arts as a powerful justification for continued public funding. There has been a generation of impact studies, and other analyses commissioned by local authorities and other public funding agencies, 'till it's gone."

to document and argue the case for the role of the arts and creative industries as important agents for economic development and urban renewal. There are facts. It is always interesting to me coming from an industry-based community that we know trees and coal are resources. We can see the trees. Cut them down, sell them, make them into something and gain economic benefits. Well the arts offer that same resource. But if you do not have the trees? Well, no economic spin-off. Simple. I for one hope we choose to build a new public art gallery and museum. I have three grandsons who will be looking for jobs and a community in the not too distant future. I hope Vernon will look forward to become a creative and economically strong community that will hold our children here and entice new people to come and share what I think is the best place on earth. michelle Loughery

Park Drive which is the road the Kin RV Park is on. “With the entrance to the municipal pool, skate park, Nor-Val Sports Centre and the Kin RV Park facing onto Park Drive, we have concerns for the safety of not only the children who attend these establishments but for adult patrons as well,” wrote Kin Club president Woody Smith in a letter to the city asking to have temporary speed bumps installed on Park Drive to quell speeders, particularly in the summertime. Public works manager Tim Perepolkin stated in a letter to council that above grade speed bumps do cause issues for snow clearing and “really are not that effective unless they are of significant size, both height and length, as most newer vehicles have great suspension that absorbs wheel movements.” “So the faster you go, the less you bump,” said Perepolkin. After consultation with public works and RV Park director Mel Orr, the city’s public works committee recommended to council that the city suggest posting Park Drive as a 30-kilometre-per-hour speed limit permanently with new speed limit signs placed on both the east- and westbound directions of travel. “Right now, it’s 30 kilometres per hour during school hours, we’re requesting it be made 30 km/h permanently,” said Coun. John Trainor, chairperson of the city’s public works committee. The city will provide the Armstrong RCMP with the information on this development, and will ask them to spend some time in the summer months patrolling Park Drive in search of speeders. Armstrong council voted unanimously in favour of the public works’ recommendation to the city.

Coldstream clarifies process richard rolke Morning Star Staff

A dispute between two organizations has Coldstream clarifying who it will assist. Council gave three readings Tuesday to a bylaw that would require non-profit groups wanting a property tax exemption to demonstrate how their membership is selected. “We want to make sure we’re not giving a tax exemption to a closed group that’s not part of the community,” said Coun. Pat Cochrane. The issue of membership arose because of an ongoing dispute between the Pat Cochrane Coldstream Women’s Institute and the organizers of the Winter Farmers Market. The Women’s Institute decided earlier this year not to rent the Kalamalka Road hall to the market because of scheduling conflicts and concerns such as traffic safety. That situation was unpopular with market organizers. “We had some letters saying the Women’s Institute did not allow some people to join,” said Mayor Jim Garlick. As a result, the district decided to link tax exemption status to groups having a formal process for selecting members. But while the district wants to see a process, Garlick insists the municipality is not dictating how members are selected or who becomes members. Garlick admits the district has been caught in the dispute between the market and the WI and it has taken up considerable staff and council resources. “We have more pressing issues to focus on.” Part of the discussion over the bylaw was so sensitive Tuesday, it was held in-camera because of potential legal implications.

Zoning ensures beach status richard rolke Morning Star Staff

A popular park is one step away from becoming officially designated as park. Coldstream council has given two readings to a bylaw that would change the zoning for Kal Beach from residential to parks and open space. “We have been asking for this for some time,” said Mayor Jim Garlick. While the property is in Coldstream, the beach is currently owned by the City of Vernon and previous city Jim Garlick administrations opposed a zoning change. However, the current city council has agreed to turn over ownership of Kal Beach to the Regional District of North Okanagan as part of parks restructuring, and that led to Vernon wanting the zoning to evolve. “There was a concern from the city that if they turned over the beach to the regional district, what may happen,” said Garlick of possible development under the residential zone. The parks and open space designation will only permit current recreational activities. Coldstream council must still give the rezoning bylaw third reading and final adoption.

In a report to council, chief administrative officer Trevor Seibel says he reviewed how people become members of the Women’s Institute. Prospective members send a letter to the WI requesting membership along with the required fee. The letter must be supported by two existing members and then the general membership decides if the individual is accepted into the group. “The (municipal) policy does not address the issue of whether a membership is accepted or not, only that the membership potential is open to the community,” said Seibel. Council must still give final adoption to the tax exemption bylaw which includes a 100 per cent property tax exemption for the Women’s Institute in 2014.

Local politicians are going straight to the top when it comes to flooding. Instead of writing various provincial ministers over stream remediation, the Regional District of North Okanagan board will contact Premier Christy Clark directly and demand action to prevent flooding damage. “Previous attempts with cabinet ministers have been less than satisfying,” said Jackie Pearase, rural Enderby director. “We’ve sent letters to the ministers and they’ve given us a non-response. Let’s go over their heads to the premier.” The issue of remediation has become a focus for the regional district because of residents demand-

The provincial government has previously indicated that RDNO must conduct a feasibility study on possible upgrades on the creek. However, Pearase insists that the costs of upgrades and liabilities could be downloaded on to RDNO by the provincial government even if it simply does a study. According to Pearase, creeks are a provincial responsibility and Victoria has previously spent money on Ashton Creek to try and address flooding.

Speed change raises concern richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Slower speeds on a major Vernon route have led to a growing case of road rage. Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe is concerned about how some motorists are reacting to the speed limit switching from 50 to 30 kilometres an hour on Okanagan Landing Road, by Ellison Elementary School. “People are getting very angry at each other and it creates a safety issue,” she said. While there are school zone O’Keefe signs up, O’Keefe is suggesting that information be posted that indicates when the slower speed is in effect and when the higher speed is allowed. “People don’t know why you are slowing down. They run up behind you and lay on the horn,” she said. Cunningham The issue will be reviewed by city staff. City shows true grit Vernon pedestrians may have a chance to improve their traction during the winter. City staff will investigate the feasibility of a pilot project where boxes containing winter grit, such as sand, are installed in high pedestrian areas, close to steep hills and in locations with a lot of senior citizens. “In communities where it’s been used, it’s very effective,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham.

Sustainability plan revealed Morning Star Staff

The District of Lake Country is preparing to unveil its inaugural State of Sustainability report. The report describes the district’s performance on 15 goals in the areas of social, cultural, economic and environmental sustainability. “Knowing that our progress towards sustainability will be measured and publicly released every two years will help us stay focused and on track”, said Mark Koch, director of planning and development. The full report can be viewed on the ICSP website, at www.oursustainablelakecounMark Koch try.ca. It will also be presented to the public at the Directions Forum at the municipal office Tuesday from 5:30 to 8 p.m. “We are very pleased to see that Lake Country continues to be a safe community with increasing housing choices that appeal to young people and families,” said Koch. “At the same time, this report highlights some issues that we need to focus on, such as reducing our reliance on single occupant cars and the health of kokanee fish stocks in Wood Lake.” The Directions Forum is the public’s chance to comment on the goals and to suggest actions that could be taken by the district, community groups and individuals to make Lake Country more sustainable. “It is through these actions that Lake Country will come closer to achieving its goals. The impacts of the actions will be measured in the next release of the State of Sustainability report,” said Koch. The first hour of the forum is an open house where staff and project consultants will answer questions and receive suggestions. A series of presentations and interactive discussions will begin at 6:30 p.m. “Council and staff are hoping for a big turnout from the community at this crucial stage of the planning process,” said Koch.

District supports independent living richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Efforts are underway to support Lake Country residents with mobility issues. District council is supporting Independent Living Vernon’s bid for a grant to establish a project to improve social inclusion for people with disabilities. “We believe in inclusiveness,” said Mayor James Baker, adding that the program will benefit Lake Country residents. “It would be a real positive for the community.” Beyond this, Independent Living Vernon is hosting a seminar on the registered disability saving plan Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Lake Country Seniors Centre. The RDSP is for people under the age of 60 and have a long-term disability. The federal government will pay a matching Canada disability savings grant of up to $3,500 a year on an individual’s contributions. The government will also pay a disability savings bond of up to $1,000 a year into the RDSPs of low-income and modest-income residents. No contributions are necessary to receive the bond. For more information or to register for Sunday’s workshop, call Crystal Compton at 1-877288-1088.

The State of Sustainability report was developed as part of Lake Country’s integrated community sustainability plan that is currently under way.

Plans are underway to ensure a popular Cherryville attraction doesn’t melt away. The Cherryville Rink Society has established a number of goals for the outdoor ice sheet in Hanson Park. “There’s really a great group of people working on this,” said Eugene Foisy, regional district director. Among the future goals are pouring a concrete slab with piping because an ice plant would allow for more consisEugene Foisy tent use over the season. Currently, warm weather can lead to the ice melting and the rink not being usable. Beyond winter, a concrete slab would allow for year-round activities like street hockey and basketball. “An engineer will give them an idea of what it will cost,” said Foisy of the concrete and pipes. The Regional District of North Okanagan has been asked to keep an eye out for any possible senior government grants, while the society is also fundraising. A recent bottle drive raised almost $3,000. The outdoor rink opened in 2009 and it has proved extremely popular with residents. “Being so close to the school, the kids can walk across the road and skate two or three times a week,” said Foisy.

Ski club hosting Warren Miller film

Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Ski Club is not only preparing for its annual Ski Swap this weekend, on Nov. 14 it celebrates the beginning of the ski season with the screening of the latest Warren Miller film. Ticket to Ride is Miller’s 64th ski and snowboard film. It explores the close relationship between humans and our vast natural environment, as the sport’s best skiers and snowboarders take an actionpacked journey across the globe to shed light on the significance of being aware of your surroundings. Hosted by U.S. ski team member Jonny Moseley, the film features a number of Olympians and world-class athletes, including one familiar face to these parts. In the film, Vernon-raised professional skier Josh Bibby, now based in Whistler, can be seen smashing snow ghosts in the backcountry of Montana with American skier Tyler Ceccanti. A competitive freeskier who trained at Silver Star Mountain, Bibby is now focusing the majority of his time skiing in the backcountry and working with the industry’s leading photographers and cinematographers. “This past season was an outstanding season for myself,” he says on his website. “I was able to film with Level 1 Productions, Poor Boyz and Warren Miller Entertainment, all leaders in the ski film industry.” In Ticket To Ride, Bibby joins the likes of World Cup champions and Olympians Seth Westcott and Ted Ligety, legendary ski mountaineer Chris Davenport, and young freeskiers Colby West and Sean Pettit. Gretchen Bleiler hits the pipe in Aspen. The film was shot on Iceland’s Troll Peninsula, the fjords of Greenland, the Alaskan Tordirllos, Montana’s Big Sky country, Switzerland’s Mt. Eiger and Norway’s Alesund region. Warren Miller’s Ticket To Ride premieres in Vernon at the Towne Cinema Nov. 14. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the film shows at 6:50 p.m. “Film attendees have a chance to win exciting prizes, meet local athletes and get access to exclusive, high-value savings from film tour partners,” said John Armstrong, Vernon Ski Club program director. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased Saturday at the Vernon Ski Club Ski Swap at the Vernon Recreation Complex, from the club at www.vernonskiclub.ca, Vernon ski shops, or at the door.

Creek benefits from program Morning Star Staff

Coldstream residents can learn more about protecting waterways. An interpretive sign about the Coldstream Creek riparian protection project has been installed next to the Coldstream cemetery on Howe Drive. “This display marks the final step in a multiyear project,” said Renee Clark, Regional District of North Okanagan water quality manager. “The project illustrates the collaborative work done for creek habitat restoration and protection on Coldstream, Deer and Larch creeks.” The project involves RDNO, the District of Coldstream, Coldstream Ranch and the Okanagan Basin Water Board. “Innovative strategies and best management practices were implemented to separate livestock from the local waterways to improve water quality and ensure the health of cattle and fish,” said Clark. “The work was carried out largely by Coldstream Ranch, and included building woody debris barriers, creating controlled stream-crossing areas, planting willow stakes to stabilize creek banks, and providing alternative watering troughs to deter cattle from entering the stream.” Riparian areas are the vegetated borders of rivers, streams, lakes, and wetlands and they are important for diverse habitat, soil stabilization and water filtration. “This is especially important on Coldstream Creek, which supplies a large percentage of Kalamalka Lake inflow, an important local drinking water source,” said Clark. To see a digital copy of the interpretive sign, visit www.rdno.ca/water and click on Watershed.

Desert Cove Homeowners Association members (from left) Ralph Rushworth, Ken Wates, Jean Holtom, president Murray Moffat, Chuck Stepenson and Stan Beaulieu present $1,000 to Okanagan Indian Band Fire Department captain Mike Doherty (second from right), which will go towards a new computer for the department.

Fire department improves service Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

A major step towards improved fire protection is in place for Okanagan Indian Reserve residents with 911, and efforts are continuing to enhance service. The Okanagan Indian Band recently gained access to Vernon’s 911 fire dispatch, a major improvement from a previously antiquated system. “Now that we’re officially 911, we want everyone to know that,” said Mike Doherty, OKIB Fire Department captain. The department has been working towards 911 dispatch for 13 years, and up until now, residents had to call a separate emergency number to report fires. Such fires on band land were handled by an answering service established by the fire department. Now the fire department is working towards becoming fully certified. “It’s one big step to get us certified,” said Doherty. “But once we are certified, insurance goes way down.” Gaining 911 dispatch was the first, and biggest, step towards getting a department certified. The second step is gaining a water tender, and a proposal has already been submitted. Thirdly, mutual aid agreements need to be in place with the Armstrong-Spallumcheen and BX-Swan Lake departments. With the help of the OKIB, Doherty says plans are rolling along nicely. The department is also looking at getting a satellite hall at the Head of the Lake by the medical centre.

Run supports African projects Morning Star Staff

Runners from the Okanagan-Shuswap will be taking to the streets Oct. 27 to raise support for a local charity’s poverty fighting work in Ethiopia. Now in its ninth year, the Great Big Run for Africa hopes to raise $25,000 for Partners in the Horn of Africa, as well as better awareness of the organization’s work among Okanagan-Shuswap residents. A Great Big Run for Africa is a 100-kilometre relay from West Kelowna to the Partners’ office in Enderby. Last year, 30 runners raised $25,000 for microfinance programs helping Ethiopian women create viable small businesses. “The idea was conceived in 2004 when a Kelowna woman travelled to Ethiopia to see firsthand the projects that Partners in the Horn of Africa was doing to fight poverty in Ethiopia,” said Christine Parsons, executive director of Partners in the Horn of Africa. “One day, awoken in the early morning by the sound of hundreds of people running along the streets of Addis Ababa, she learned that many people in the country participate in races barefoot or in whatever shoes they own just for the love of running.” Upon her return to Canada, she wanted to create a fundraiser that would incorporate running to support Partners’ projects. In 2005, A Great Big Run for Africa was born when Stephanie Moore and Crystal Flaman, both runners and friends of Alison Moscrop, the Kelowna woman, suggested they would run 100 kilometres to raise awareness and funds for Ethiopia. Now, nine years later, the run has raised more than $140,000 and has changed thousands of lives in Ethiopia through projects providing small business start-up financing and training, clean water supply, safe schools and quality education, and critical support to orphans and vulnerable children. Partners in the Horn of Africa, now in its 12th year of operation, works with communities in remote areas of Ethiopia, focusing its work in areas of unmet need. “Our projects respond to community requests, addressing needs for education, basic infrastructure, gender equality, food security, and sustainable livelihoods,” said Parsons. “We draw our strength from the vision, support, and expertise of residents of the OkanaganShuswap and we welcome the opportunity to connect with individuals, community and service groups, and schools and businesses in our communities. “With your support, we’ve now completed over 250 community-based projects.” If you would like to run, or support a runner, contact run organizer Stephanie Moore at stephmoorepersonaltraining@telus.net. If you would like to welcome the runners, visit Partners’ office at 900 Belvedere St. in Enderby at 5 p.m. Oct. 27.

Snakes take swagger on road trip KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

They have reached the quarter turn and are showing strong signs of being the Royal Bank Cup contenders they are supposed to be. Four straight wins, third-period scoring sprees, decent defensive play and almost a full and healthy roster. The Vernon Vipers start a three-game road swing tonight in Powell River against the B.C. Hockey League leading Kings (10-1-0-1) feeling pretty good about themselves. In fact, alternate captain Josh Bryan, who anchored a solid back-end in a 6-3 victory over the Trail Smoke Eaters Tuesday night at Kal Tire Place, figures there is a swagger moving through the lineup. “It’s more fun to come to the rink right now,” said the bruising Bryan, who unleashed some bombs from the point and cleaned house in front of net detective Danny Todosychuk. “When you’re losing, you’re kind of depressed and when you’re winning, swagger definitely comes in for sure. You come to the rink knowing that you’ve won four and you’re unstoppable basically. That’s how you feel.” It was one of those gutsy team performances as the Snakes improved to 7-4-1-2 with their fourth straight win. Only the Langley Rivermen, with six in a row, were hotter. Langley lost 3-0 to the Chilliwack Chiefs Wednesday night. Sniper Demico Hannoun, rated by NHL Central Scouting, made a brave shot block in the second period which clearly GRAEME CORBETT/MORNING STAR hurt big time.

Maroons rout Rams

Sports Smokies fire Birks Continued from A24

Birks, meanwhile, was fired Wednesday by the Smokies. “With the slow start to the season, the board felt it was time to make a change,” said Smoke Eaters’ president Tom Gawryletz. “We thank Bill for everything he has done during his three-and-a-half years with our club and wish him the best in the future.” Assistant coaches Barry Zanier and Craig Clare will take over as interim head coaches.

It took a few minutes to get the offence rolling, but once it did, the Fulton Maroons cruised to a 3-0 (25-21, 25-21, 25-18) win over the Revelstoke Rams in senior AA girls volleyball league play Tuesday night at Fulton gym. The Maroons, now 3-1 in the North zone, got stellar defensive play from middle blocker Shaina Banta, who had seven stuff blocks. Nazarena Wurz put away nine kills and Brittany Skrenek had seven kills and three aces. The Maroons begin the 42-team Best of the West tournament today (11 a.m.) in Kelowna against the 4A Mt. Boucherie Bears. In senior A girls league action, the Vernon Christian Royals improved to 5-1 in the North zone with a pair of Tuesday-night home wins. The first match saw the Royals outlast the A.L. Fortune Falcons of Enderby 2-1 (28-26, 18-25, 15-6) in a back-and-forth affair. Setter Hannah Podolski spread the ball around to give the Royals a balanced attack,while hitters Jasmine Hofsink, Vanessa Major and Rebecca Vanderdeen provided some well-timed kills. Sam Hofsink and Jamie Botterill rallied the team with good passes, serving and attacks. “We started the third set with a few bloopers, but then went on a 13-2 run to finish the set,” said Royals’ head coach Jason Reedyk. The Royals then swept the Salmon Arm Jewels, 26-24, 25-15, on strong play by Laura Hulstein, Clare Thiessen and Julianna Bonin. The Royals are also entered in the Best of the West. They battle the Okanagan Mission Huskies in their Friday opener.

Gardner caps college career LARRY READ TRU Athletics

KAMLOOPS – Vernon’s Seb Gardner will play his final home game for the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack Sunday in PacWest men’s soccer play at Hillside Stadium. Gardner, who helped the Pack win the then B.C. College Athletic Association in 2007, has made a huge impact on the TRU program. The Pack (8-21) face the Langara Falcons (8-3-1) in a first-place showdown. “He was a feisty kid from Vernon that supported Portsmouth (U.K.) through and through,” said WolfPack co-head coach Sean Wallace. “He wears his heart on his sleeve each and every time he steps onto the field and that is Seb Gardner what I love about this guy.” Since that first match, Gardner, like the program has enjoyed some ups and downs. For the 5-foot-10 midfielder, the highs have included two trips to the CCAA championships (2007 and 2008), being named a PacWest all-star in 2012 and meeting fellow soccer player Cassie Drummond, who he married a few weeks ago. The lows have been two bouts of cancer. His latest chemotherapy came before the start of this season. “Seb has matured as a player and an individual more than any 25-year-old should,” said Wallace. “As a player, he has grown to where any team would be glad to have him on their team and we appreciate his leadership qualities that he shares with the team. “As an individual, he has had to overcome a lot

with injuries and medical problems but I think it has made him stronger person and better for it.” Added co-coach John Antulov: “He is probably one of the most selfless players I have ever coached. I have never seen a player that gets to know everyone personally on the team, but also make them feel a part of the program by engaging them in conversation and bringing them into the fold.” Both coaches feel Gardner will leave a legacy through how he conducted himself as a passionate leader on and off the field. Wallace has two fond stories about his soon-tobe-graduating player. “One was in 2007 during the provincial final. Seb had played a hard first half but with his team down 2-0, he was subbed out to watch the second half unfold. He did not get down. He cheered on his teammates from the side and helped them come back and win in penalty kicks. I still have a photo of him with his arm around our youngest son Keenan and the rest of his teammates on the sidelines during the penalty kicks taking place on the field waiting for the final shot and the celebration to begin. “The second one was last year during fitness testing doing the Cooper Run. He had just finished his run under 12 minutes and was waiting for the next group to finish and one of the rookies, Nolan Wallace, was struggling coming up to his final lap and Seb offered to run with him to encourage him to get around the track in the time needed. It was a very selfless act and showed his true qualities as a leader and teammate.” Gardner will graduate this spring with a Bachelor of Social Work. The WolfPack host the Quest Kermodes of Squamish (0-9-3) on Saturday. Their playoff picture will be clear after Sunday’s match.

Heat scorch Royals Morning Star Staff

Devon Fleming-Frame’s first career goal as a member of the UBC Okanagan Heat proved to be a big one in more ways than one Sunday in Kelowna. The Vancouver rookie’s 25-yard pinpoint blast snuck just under the crossbar and proved to be the winner as the Heat grounded the Douglas College Royals 3-0 and clinched a PacWest playoffs berth. The Heat dominated the majority of the match at Nonis Field, but despite constant pressure from the Heat, Douglas refused to break defensively. Although the Royals surrendered multiple chances to Taylor Sarchet (fifth year, Surrey) and Taylor Candelario (second year, Honolulu), it was scoreless heading into the middle portion of the second half. In the 65th minute, Fleming-Frame found open space and fired a laser that snuck just over the outstretched arms of the Royals’ keeper and just under the crossbar. Lindsey Briggs (fourth year, Delta) made it 2-0 shortly after from almost the exact same spot. Michelle Smith (third year, Vernon) put the game out of reach in the 80th minute with a header from 12 yards. “We got the result today that I would expect,” said Heat head coach Claire Paterson. “I was happy with how the team came to play today. Three great goals; and it was great to see Devon get on the scoreboard with her first career goal.” While the Heat have secured a playoff berth, they face two big games this weekend in terms of playoff positioning. The Heat will host both Langara College Falcons of Vancouver and Quest University Kermodes of Squamish, who currently sit third and second, respectively.

The Heat are in a tie-breaker situation with Langara, with both teams at 21 points apiece. Meanwhile, Quest only leads Langara and the Heat by three points at 24 total, and two wins this weekend could vault UBC Okanagan into the second seed. Sunday’s game will be Seniors Day at Nonis Field, as the Heat will celebrate their departing seniors in the final game of their careers at UBC Okanagan. Both games are scheduled for noon. Hayley Carlson’s (third year, Red Deer) goal in the 77th minute spoiled Lynnea Yee’s (first year, Surrey) two-goal performance as the Heat salvaged a 2-2 comeback tie versus the visiting Kwantlen Eagles Saturday at Nonis Field. After an uneventful first half, both teams were off to the races after Mairi Horth (second year, Ladysmith) put the Heat on the board first in the 52nd minute. A nifty through ball by Candelario sent Horth on a breakaway and she buried the shot five-hole on Kwantlen keeper Chelsea Jewell (third year, North Delta). Kwantlen equalized eight minutes later, with Yee scoring on a scramble in front of the net off a Kwantlen corner. Yee put the Eagles ahead in the 64th minute off some great dribbling that allowed her to gain open space in the Heat area; she buried the shot over the outstretched arms of Heat keeper Christine Tallon (fourth year, Kamloops) to put the Eagles up 2-1. Despite the score and the minimal time remaining, the Heat remained composed and came right back at the Eagles. Chances by Smith, Candelario and Haylee Lakovic (first year, West Kelowna) had the Eagles reeling, when Carlson finally broke through in the 77th with

In men’s play, Vernon’s Enzo Paal (rookie midfielder) scored twice Sunday as the Heat drew 2-2 with the Royals. Paal’s first tally was off of a nice give-andgo with forward Austin Jones (fourth year, Vernon). Paal’s second goal came from a

header in front of the net off of a corner. The Heat, who lost 1-0 Saturday to Kwantlen, are now 5-4-3 while the Royals are 7-3-2. Both teams head into the final weekend with their playoff lives yet to be determined. The Heat host the Falcons Saturday and the Kermodes Sunday (2 p.m.).

“By practicing cautious driving and performing regular vehicle maintenance, we can help keep everyone safe this Hallowe’en,” said Marc Brazeau, president and CEO, AIA Canada. “Be sure to check your vehicle’s safety items and remind children of basic safety

With that in mind, below are some driving and vehicle maintenance tips that can help promote safety and ward off any scares for motorists this Hallowe’en: n Check your lights.

Replace any burnt out signal lights or headlights straight away. Properly functioning lights are critical for spotting the ghouls and goblins that will be roaming your neighbourhood this Hallowe’en, and for overall road safety. n Drive slowly and abide by the speed limit. Drivers should slow down in neighborhoods and be on high alert for children crossing streets or emerging from between parked cars. n Check your brakes. Your brake system is the most vital safety component of your vehicle as it allows you to stop to avoid collision. Check that your brakes are in good working order in the event that you need to make a quick stop. Overly excited trick-ortreaters may not always look both ways before crossing the street! n Check your tires. Worn tires lose their ability to grip the road in adverse conditions. Stopping on wet roads can take up to four times the normal distance of stopping on dry roads. Drivers should check their tire inflation pressure as well as tread depth and wear at least once per month to ensure their tires are gripping the road properly. n Check your horn. Honk, honk! Make sure your horn is working in the event that you need to alert other drivers or pedestrians of danger, or get their attention (and to ward off monsters). n Get a vehicle check-up. Regular maintenance is the best form of prevention for breakdowns. Bring your vehicle to an auto repair shop or qualified mechanic this Hallowe’en for a checkup to make sure your vehicle is prepared for the colder months that lie ahead.

Campaign creates awareness Morning Star Staff

Thousands of tiny purple caps will soon be delivered to birthing hospitals across the province. It’s part of an annual campaign to help raise awareness for the Period of Purple Crying program, an educational program for new parents which teaches them how to deal with infant crying, especially inconsolable crying. Volunteers knit purple caps and create hand-written cards for newborns. The caps will be given to babies in hospitals and public health units in November and December. To date, almost 18,000 caps have been created and distributed to families. “A baby’s life is extremely precious and this program is an important resource that supports parents through a tough time when their babies can cry more than any other time in their lives,” said Stephanie Cadieux, children and family development minister. “Knowing what to expect and how to respond is proven to help parents cope with

this challenging phase.” Since the Period of Purple Crying program was fully implemented in B.C. in 2009, hospitals have reported a 56 per cent reduction in the number of cases of abusive head trauma due to shaken baby syndrome in infants six months and younger. “While making the purple caps and distributing them at birthing hospitals and health units, we hope to generate conversations about the Period of Purple Crying, a frequently misunderstood but typical stage in early infancy,” said Marilyn Barr, Prevent Shaken Baby Syndrome B.C. director. “Through education and awareness, our goal is to prevent shaken baby syndrome and other forms of abuse, which can arise from the frustration of this early infant crying.” All parents of newborns (about 45,000 births per year) receive a copy of a DVD, which includes a 17-minute film on ways to soothe your baby and an 11-page booklet called ‘Did you know your infant would cry

like this?’ before being discharged from the hospital. Through the DVD and booklet, new moms and dads are educated that it is never okay to shake a baby. The program helps parents and caregivers understand that babies can cry a lot, up to five hours a day in the first two to five months of life. The training tools

explain that the characteristics of infant crying are normal, temporary and not the fault of the caregiver. The B.C. government has invested $1.8 million since 2008 to implement the program in all B.C. health units and birthing hospitals. The program is led by the Prevent Shaken Baby Syndrome B.C. program at B.C. Children’s Hospital.

“As a father, I know that being a new parent can be challenging, and we want to make sure families have the resources they need,” said Terry Lake, minister of health. “We’re proud to support the Period of Purple Crying program, which helps educate new parents and caregivers about how to respond to infant crying.”

Tenor looks back at a storied career Kristin Froneman

Morning Star Staff

Songs can come from so many places, but for Canadian singer John McDermott many of them come from his memories of home. About to tour B.C. on the 20th anniversary since he first stepped on stage to perform as a solo artist, McDermott recalls the day his mom handed him a collection of her favourite songs. “I went to visit my mom, and she asked when I was doing a hymn album. I told her I wasn’t sure and she said, ‘yes, you are.’” Not long after their conversation McDermott’s record label EMI called and wanted to know if he would record an album singing songs with an inspirational message. “It’s funny they asked,” said McDermott, who, of course, made a call to his mom. “Thirty minutes later, my mom went and took 16 of her favourite hymns and gave them to me, and we recorded them all.” Hailing from strong Scottish stock, McDermott was born the fourth youngest of 11 siblings in Glasgow. He grew up in Toronto, where he attended St. Michael’s College for boys and sang in the school choir. Now living on Georgian Bay, about a two hour drive from the city, McDermott’s roots, especially his family, come to play in many of the stories and songs he is about to share when he sets off on the western leg of his Looking Back tour, which stops at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Thursday. “I am just going to talk about my career and what’s happened over the 20 years, and take questions. It will be a relaxed and intimate atmosphere,” he said. And, don’t worry, the former member of the Irish Tenors also plans to sing some of those beloved favourites that first got him on the stage: songs such as Danny Boy, which he named his first album after, as well as Eric Bogle’s The Band Played Waltzing Matilda and Green Fields of France. “I don’t get tired of singing them or telling the anecdotes that come with them,” he said. He even remembers the date of his first concert with his own band: Oct. 5, 1993 in Halifax, N.S. It came the year after he had toured as an opening act with famed Irish group The Chieftans. Before then, McDermott was working in circulation with the Toronto Sun newspaper. “I had such great fortune when I first started. With my first

The singer and champion for war veterans brings his Looking Back 20th anniversary tour to Vernon Thursday, Oct. 24. tour with The Chieftans, my fiddler was Ashley MacIsaac. My second tour had fiddler Natalie MacMaster.” That fortune continued, McDermott says, citing the time he was asked to perform with famed Greek singer Nana Mouskouri. It was in Victoria, and Harry Belafonte had to bail from the tour with Mouskouri due to health reasons. “She had remembered me when I was touring with the Irish Tenors and asked if I could complete the tour with her. It was in 2003 and the tour ended in Athens at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus (a stone theatre built in 161 AD). I walked on stage, looked up on my right to the Acropolis. There were 9,000 seats looking straight up at us.” It’s not a coincidence that McDermott has built his career on singing ballads about wartime, many with a Gaelic or Celtic lilt, a tribute to his roots and his support of veterans’ causes. It was his dad, who died in 1995, that first got McDermott interested in helping soldiers, young and old.

“My dad was a vet of the Second World War and I had some cousins killed in Vietnam. My uncle was a POW in Middle Asia and died at the camp. It was sort of the same thing as in the (1957 film) Bridge Over the River Kwai,” he said. It was after McDermott performed his first show at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto that his dad said he should give back to the veterans. McDermott House, a foundation to support those returning from service, was born out of that. “We just celebrated our 12th year in Boston and our third year in Washington, DC. In Canada it started as a foundation and we are currently working on the renovation of the palliative (for veterans, military and first responders) wing at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto. The first stage is expected to be completed in January of next year. “Our work continues as there are these young men and women coming back from Afghanistan or wherever seeing things that you or I can’t imagine. We are focussing on helping those with post traumatic stress disorder and children of people with PSD.” Back to his music, McDermott has more recently recorded songs and performed with the likes of contemporary artists such as Ron Sexsmith, Jim Cuddy, and Lawrence Gowan, who co-wrote the song Along the Merry Road to Hell from McDermott’s 2010 album Journeys (Bringing Buddy Home), which is about McDermott’s brother, who died after a long battle with alcoholism. He also credits his longtime recording and stage mate, Toronto guitarist Jason Fowler, whom he recorded the 2012 album, The Old House, with and also produced Journeys, for helping light a fire under him after he left the Irish Tenors in 2000. It was also at that time that his mom died followed by one of his brothers and a sister. “I needed time to reflect and the (other members ) of the Tenors couldn’t deal with it. I thought I would take some time off and I did for a while, then Jason arrived at that point and he brought a new energy,” said McDermott. “It became fun again and creative and challenging. He pushed it.” McDermott is bringing Fowler along on his Looking Back tour, which starts at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 24 at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. Tickets are $51 (all seats) at the Ticket Seller, 549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.

Okanagan Symphony rides with The Lone Ranger Contributed to The Morning Star

The 54th season of the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra (OSO) launches Sunday with some of the most well-known music of all time, the William Tell Overture (known to many as The Lone Ranger), Symphony No. 9 in B minor and Concerto for Violin, Cello and Rosemary Thomson Orchestra. “The Okanagan is rich with artistic talent and I have discovered many wonderful musicians that I have

been privileged to share the stage with as members of the orchestra and as guest artists,” said Rosemary Thomson, OSO music director. “We strive to present a season of rich and diverse concert experiences that mix the tried and true repertoire with fresh new voices.” Outreach and education programs, a major part of the OSO, will see continued growth this year. This year will include a celebration of the Youth Symphony of the Okanagan’s 25th anniversary with a Birthday Bash in November, as well as family matinée of Amahl and the Night Visitors in December. And the holiday season wouldn’t be complete without a sing-along. The

Earth, Wind & Fire keep groovin’ earth, Wind and Fire: Now, Then and Forever

he Egyptian falcon motif staring out from the cover of Earth Wind and Fire’s 21st album, Now, Then and Forever, could suggest resurrection or continuation. And it does, sort of... The group’s first recording in eight years is a continuation or throwback to their late-‘70s heyday: a bright, heady mix of funk, soul, and fusion pop and disco with emphasis on the latter. Love is Law, the swooning horn driven dance track Dean Gordon-Smith single, seems to echo from Studio 54. Known for vibrant and slick recordings and elaborate stage shows (rivalled only by Parliament/Funkadelic) Earth, Wind and Fire’s disco-friendly vibe is in vogue again, courtesy of Daft Punk’s Get Lucky. But lest the D-word raise a red flag amongst veterans of the ‘70s disco wars, one should recall burning tracks like the hard funk of Shining Star rather than fixate on Boogie Wonderland. The band’s forward looking use of horns, jazz, friendly guitar textures and sinuous bass lines elevate the music still, as heard on the high reaching track, Guiding Lights. And then there’s the vocals: Philip Bailey’s falsetto is capable of wailing, laser beam sounds that stretch like synthesized notes. He declaims in front of ensemble singers, going from celestial to sultry with an offhand elegance. (Got To Be Love). Earth Wind and Fire is slick but not in a shallow, show-off kind of way. With the counter rhythms and textures in the arrangements, things must make sense. They pull off a deep range of moods. There’s smiley, happy disco on My Promise, shifting robotic funk on Dance Floor, fusion (Splashes) and off beat, lush instrumentals (Belo Horizonte). As well, Afro-Cuban sensibilities move through their sound (The Rush). Honourable mention goes to Verdine White, bassist extraordinaire. As with the other, original members, vocalist Bailey and percussionist/ singer Ralph Johnson, they hold together a big sounding group while pressing forward from their roots.

Hanks is back at his best as Captain Phillips

aptain Phillips (Tom Hanks) pilots a cargo ship off the Somalian coast when it is boarded and hijacked by pirates. When the pirates try to escape they take the captain hostage, which results in a tense showdown with the U.S. Navy. We say, “Batten down your hatches.” HOWE: Tom Hanks is back to his acting best in Captain Phillips after that strange movie last year, Cloud Atlas. Hanks is one of the best actors around. When I watch him he makes it look effortless and there are not a lot of actors that can do that. He always gives his characters emotion and depth and towards the end of this, I was getting a little choked up. Marvellous performance. TAYLOR: Although Hanks carries the film on his back, he doesn’t have much to do until the end, when there is such a release that the audience can share in his catharsis. While it’s true the reason the denouement of the film is so emotional stems from sharing Captain Phillips’ fear, it’s the pirates themselves that produce that

fear. Essentially, this is a film that takes the good captain and the audience hostage, ties them up in a lifeboat and holds a machine gun to their head, wild-eyed and sweaty. HOWE: Don’t forget they scream at you every so often. Plus it was filmed with that handheld documentary style, which adds to both the realism and the seasickness. That’s probably why this film works so

well. If they had filmed it using normal techniques and tripods to hold the shot steady, I think you would have lost something in the transition to screen. TAYLOR: The Somali pirates in the film, including their lead, Muse (Barkhad Abdi), have never been in anything before. They all did a great job of being desperate, scary pirates, and without them the film may have been lost. They also help the subtext of the film, which is about globalization and resources. Although Captain Phillips is a true tale —a Maersk cargo ship was taken hostage in 2009 in the first act of piracy against an American vessel in hundreds of

years— there were plenty of liberties taken to make the film more exciting. HOWE: But a filmmaker can only make what he is told, so if it’s stretched a little bit, who’s fault is that? It’s like the Chinese whisper game: one tells another and so on, there’s always going to be a little bit of conflict about what

really happened on that ship. TAYLOR: There are discrepancies in the tale between Richard Phillip’s book, the movie, and then also between Phillip’s version of the tale and the rest of crew, some of whom are currently suing, saying that Phillips needlessly put their lives in danger by his inaction.

Drawing on talent from all corners of the world, a trio of Okanagan musicians is saluting some of the best music of our times. “This music is timeless. For me it is the music I grew up with and a large part of the population. The current music out today, there is some good stuff, but I kind of feel sorry for anyone who didn’t grow up with the music we did,” said Marty Edwards. “I think it is an opportunity for us to bring it back and share that with different generations.” A Touch of Class with Edwards, Pam Ferens

favourites was recorded by Il Divo, an operatic pop vocal group created by reality TV and music executive star Simon Cowell. “The song Mama, when I first heard it brought tears to my eyes. I am a momma’s boy and she is gone and every time I hear it, it is an emotional thing for me. I started rehearsing just with the lyrics and when I was ready to play it, I couldn’t get through the first verse,” said Edwards. Known for being a Kenny Rogers tribute artist with his act Kinda Kenny, Edwards will be singing as himself in A Touch of Class. He has been featured in countless publications and is a seasoned international entertainer who just released a third CD with some of his favourite songs from the ‘60s and ‘70s. Ferens, who is from Vernon, is a versatile singer-songwriter who began her lifelong affair with music as a child performing at a local talent contest. Her dream unfolded in 1983 when she placed as one of the top two performers in a national music competition, along with Canadian recording art-

ist Joan Kennedy. Her success continued leading to a 1995 Nashville recording and CD release in the U.S. and Europe. Two of her singles, Opposites Attract and Does She, received generous airplay and fan support. Ferens recently completed and released An Evolution. The album follows her journey from country roots and blues with a unique contemporary style. She will be singing several of the duets with Edwards that have been a big part of popular music. “For me, the songs are ones that I really like. You have to walk that line of picking songs that you yourself enjoy performing but also something that the audience is going to remember and have a great memory of,” said Edwards. Cheyenne, from West Kelowna, always had a flair for arts and music. She liked nothing more than entertaining people and sang solos in her church at a young age. Teachers recognized her beautiful voice and she entered her first vocal contest in Grade 2. Singing in several popular bands in the Lower Mainland, she won area competitions while thrilling audiences wherever she performed including Richard’s on Richards in Vancouver, and at the Empress Hotel in Victoria. Cheyenne has performed with the Stars on Stage show and the Westbank Country Opry. Edwards said Cheyenne’s rendition of Dolly Parton’s I Will Always Love You, made famous by the late Whitney Houston, will have everyone on their feet. “I’m telling you I haven’t heard anyone do it better. She has got power vocals and does Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill, and to do those songs and do them justice you have to have pipes and I’ll tell you she does them justice,” said Edwards. A Touch of Class comes to the Vernon Recreation Complex auditorium Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15, available at the recreation centre office or by phone at (250) 5456035.

David Tracey Vancouver based writer, environmental designer, and community ecologist The question of our time may be: “How do we feed 9 billion people without cooking the Earth?” Tracey makes the case that rather than wait for a miracle solution from expert authorities, a growing number of people have created their own solutions by diversifying food sources, redesigning cities and rediscovering what it means to be human and true citizen of a green planet. The Food Action Society and the Sustainable Environment Network Society are special sponsors of this talk.

Shriners help Joey to play in the lake Morning Star Staff

Thanks to the Vernon Shrine Club, Joey Christiansen is now able to enjoy the local lakes along with his friends. The club donated a special needs water chair to 14-year-old Joey and his grandma, Sharon Christiansen, fulfilling the Shriners’ mandate: “Everything the Shiners do is for the kids.” “Joey, being confined to a wheelchair, desperately wanted to be in the water with the other kids,” said Jake Terpstra, secretary/ hospital rep for the Vernon Shrine Club #7. The Vernon Shriners were able to obtain a floating/rolling beach wheelchair at a cost of $2,139. “The presentation was made at Kin Beach to an ecstatic Joey,” said Terpstra, adding that this special wheelchair is also able to be used during the winter months in the snow. “Grandma Christiansen said her grandson loves being outdoors and now will be able to spend more time outside with his new chair.” Through their hard work at raising funds, the Vernon Shriners have been able to help families with equipment, making life more enjoyable for many special needs children. “In addition, funds raised by our various raffles and ticket sales supports the Shriners Care Cruiser Bus Program, which transports sick children and their families to the B.C. Children’s Hospital and our Shrine Hospitals in Spokane and Portland absolutely free of charge,” said Terpstra. The Shrine Care Cruiser Bus comes through Vernon three times a week for pick-ups and return to Vancouver. Parents and medical staff are invited to call either 250-545-6594 or 1-800-5437 for more information.

Reel Change film festival focus on issues of sustainability Morning Star Staff

The Reel Change Sustainability Film Festival is coming to Vernon. Hosted by the Fresh Outlook Foundation and sponsored by B.C. Hydro Power Smart, the festival presents a series of documentaries on a variety of sustainability issues including organic food, threatened wild salmon, the Pacific Ocean garbage patch and human survival.

“The topics are very relevant, and close to home,” said Marcia Dick, festival organizer. “Each of the films carries a meaningful message and, in my case, has resulted in real changed behaviour. I ride my bike as much as possible, hang-dry my clothes, compost, eat organic food, refuse to buy farmed salmon, and continually look for new ways to lessen my impact on our planet’s resources.” The two feature presentations, Revolution

and Salmon Confidential, are being shown respectively Oct. 25 at 7 p.m. at the Schubert Centre and Oct. 28 at 7:45 p.m. at the Vernon Towne Cinema. The festival continues at the Schubert Centre Oct. 26 with showings at 10 a.m. of In Organic We Trust, followed by In Transition 2.0 at 1 p.m., Hungry for Change at 3:30 p.m. and Plastic Paradise at 7 p.m. Lost Rivers will be shown Oct. 28 at the Towne Cinema.

“Last year we offered the documentaries for free to teachers and professors and it was highly successful,” said FOF’s Joanne de Vries. “This year’s lineup is stronger still and we know people will be excited about the amazing variety of topics and styles.” For more information, visit http://freshoutlookfoundation.org/events/reelchange-sustainability-film-festival/

The law is the only way out

ear Annie: I am a 36-year-old man. I was in an accident 25 years ago and suffered a mild traumatic brain injury. It was tough growing up. When I was 23, I moved out on my own. This is when the real trouble began. First, I started drinking, and then I abused my medication. In 2002, I wrecked my car while driving intoxicated. The judge told me to go to a brain injury rehab and get my life back in order. I started my first one six months later. I am in my fourth one right now. My parents became my legal guardians without discussing it with me. After the accident, I received money from a settlement and was assured by the attorney that no one could touch it without my approval. Yet my parents have gone through that money without any input from me. They used it to get their house ready to sell and promised to reimburse me. They sold the place a year ago, and now they have the nerve to say that I

annie's mailbox

Kathy Mitchell & MarcySugar gave them the money as a “gift.” I did no such thing. What now? — J.D. Dear J.D.: You need to talk to a lawyer. Your parents undoubtedly requested guardianship in order to protect you at a time when you were going through some difficulties. And it’s also possible they expended a great deal of money on your care and rehab and felt that taking the settlement money was somehow justified. The judge who issued the guardianship can be asked to remove it. But in order to get the money back from your parents, you might have to sue them. Dear Annie: I recently lost my wife after many years together. It was an amazing marriage, and I miss her immensely.

I am looking to find a companion. The problem is, my daughter is not in my corner on this issue. How can I reason with her that it’s my life and dating or even marrying again is not being disrespectful to my late wife’s memory? — Lonely Widower Dear Widower: How long ago is “recently?” While your dating life is not your daughter’s business, we can understand her concern if your wife died less than six months ago. She may worry that you will rush into an inappropriate or abusive relationship out of loneliness, so please be cautious. Regardless, this is your decision. Please talk to your daughter and assure her that no one will take her mother’s place in your heart, but you miss the companionship and warmth that another person can provide. Explain that it is unfair of her to expect you to remain alone for the rest of your life, and you hope she will someday be happy for you if you find love again.

Dear Annie: After reading the letter from “Broken” about her husband’s affair with his father’s hospice nurse, my hair is on fire! I am a licensed clinical social worker by profession and have been CEO of a large regional hospice for 27 years. In hospice, both the patient and family are one unit of care. Professional boundaries are important. This work is emotional and intimate by its nature. But sexual or personal relationships are never appropriate. Patients and families are in a vulnerable position. The supervision of that nurse and her ethical standards are absolutely unacceptable. “Broken” should ask for the administrator of that hospice program and make a formal complaint. If she does not get a response or resolution, she should make a complaint to the agency in her state that licenses and regulates hospice providers. She would be doing others a favor by not allowing this kind of behavior to continue.

Grannies à Gogo release calendar Morning Star Staff

Professional photographer Martin Vegt has judged a multitude of entries to the Grannies à Gogo photo contest, Okanagan Reflections, and has selected a total of 13 winners. Amongst them will be the grand prize winner whose photo will feature on the cover of a beautiful 2014 calendar. A second and third prize will also be named, and all 13 photos will appear in the calendar. The public is enthusiastically invited to hear Vegt’s announcement of the winners at the gala celebration to launch this striking calendar today from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Vernon library. Vegt will also give a few comments on what made these photos outstanding. Those in attendance are asked to vote for their favourite photo entry for the People’s Choice Award from 7 to 7:30 p.m. “All net proceeds from calendar sales support AIDS-bereaved gogos (grandmothers) in Sabie, South Africa. At $15 they make beautiful gifts to family and friends as a daily reminder of our magnificently diverse North Okanagan,” said local Grannies à Gogo

chairperson, Sue Harnett. “It is an easy-to-mail gift and there’s plenty of room to note daily events.” Guests to the Okanagan Reflections gala are asked to use the side door to the library on 28th Street marked with the Grannies à Gogo sign. Admission is by donation.

Any hospice that allows such a situation to continue unchecked should not be able to care for patients and their families. — I Am Appalled Please e-mail your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast. net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, Calif., 90254.

Isa. 10:5: “the LORD GOD hath opened My ear. Obedience is the great truth conveyed. It is what Messiah said when he came into the world and performed what Psa. 40 had prophesied.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder THE ONE CARD CUTS THE LOSERS Anne Frank wrote, “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” How wonderful it is when a single card improves the fit and results in a lowpoint-count slam. Look at the North hand in today’s diagram. You open one spade and partner responds two clubs. What would you rebid? After a two-over-one response in Standard American, a new-suit rebid by opener is forcing for one round. So a jump rebid can be used as a splinter bid, showing good support for partner’s suit, extra values and a singleton (or void) in

the named suit. (I think that this is much more useful than describing a good 5-5 two-suiter.) Here, South, now knowing that his three heart losers can be ruffed on the board, should control-bid (cue-bid) four hearts to suggest a slam. Then North can use some form of Blackwood. At that point, the problem will be to avoid seven clubs. Against six clubs, West leads the spade king. How should South plan the play? The deal is perfect for a crossruff. But before commencing one of those, declarer should cash all of his side-suit winners. So, after taking the first trick with dummy’s spade ace, South should play a

heart to his ace and cash dummy’s diamond winners. Then he crossruffs to take one spade, one heart, two diamonds, four spade ruffs in his hand, three heart ruffs on the board, and one top trump. Each defender wins trick 13: West with the diamond jack and East with the club eight.

WILLIAM (Bill)

STARCHUK On October 11, 2013, Bill passed away at VJH due to heart-related ailments, with his family at his side. He was 89. This day also marked his 44th anniversary with his second wife Frances (nee Peet). He was predeceased by his first wife Nancy in 1969. He is survived by Frances, his children Gloria (Bill), Bob (Lynn), Gary (Debbie), Gord (Mary); his grandchildren Nick (Krystyna), Kristina (Dave), Kathryn (Eric), Dave (Kelly), Chris (Lynette), Aidan and Lucas ; and four great grandchildren, Charlie, Emilie, Eddie and Benjamin. He is also survived by his sister Mary Starchuk, step-brother Mike Rogers (Marg), and many other extended family and friends. Bill was born on August 2, 1924 in Three Hills Alberta. His challenging years as a coal miner’s son during the depression years in Drumheller provided him with the strength and fibre that saw him through his later years. As a teenager, Bill “mis-stated” his age so that he could help with the war effort. He joined the RCN in 1942 and saw action as a stoker in the East Atlantic during WW2. After his discharge in 1945, Bill reenrolled as a Fire Fighter in the RCAF. His tours included many bases across Canada and in Germany until he retired as a Warrant Officer/Fire Chief after 27 years of military service. He built his retirement home in Vernon, where he subsequently enjoyed his passions - tending his vegetable garden with his wife, winning at Pai Gow Poker, and playing dice and cards with family and friends. He also enjoyed the time spent playing bridge with his new friends at Canterbury Court. Bill had a great sense of humour and could readily see the humorous side of a situation and respond with an appropriate comment. He put his family first and passed on to his children many of the lessons that he had personally experienced in life. He was a good husband, father and grandpa, and will be sorely missed by those he left behind. The family would like to thank Dr Deetlefs and his medical staff, as well as the compassionate nurses and staff at VJH who cared for him during his final days. By request, there will be no service other than a private graveside gathering for immediate family. As he embarks on his new journey through uncharted waters, we bid him “Fair Winds and Following Seas!”

It is with sadness that the family of Deanna Christensen announces her passing on October 8th, 2013 in Vernon, BC, after 76 amazing, jammed packed years full of life. Deanna was born in Allan, Saskatchewan; she spent her early years in Burns Lake, BC, where she had 5 children before moving to White Rock, BC where she had her sixth child. There was not much Deanna did not do and there was nothing she would not try. Deanna moved to the Okanagan later in life where she loved to dance and smile, love and laugh. Her bright spirit and enterprising ways will always be remembered by her children; Lynn (Gary), Rod (Wendy), Blaine (Trish), Shannon and Colleen (Bruce); sixteen grandchildren and 6 greatgrandchildren. Deanna is now with many family and friends including her parents George and Marguerite Klotz, her sister Gerry, her daughter Laurie, grandson Blake, great granddaughter Greta and an embrace of friends and loved ones. Memorial services will be held at 2:00 P.M. on Saturday October 19, at Columbus Court, 3003 Gateby Place, Vernon BC. A graveside service will be held in private. Deanna had become an advocate for the Heart and Stroke Foundation in Vernon, BC and would appreciate in lieu of flowers, memorials be sent to them in her memory. The family requests those that can attend her service to wear something red, it was her favorite color and she was an amazing woman built of many many colors. Arrangements entrusted to Fischerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm, BC. As Deanna was also a master on the computer, condolences and memories may also be shared through Deannaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obituary at www.fischersfuneralservices.com.

Joyce served with the RCAF-WD as a wireless operator during WW2 and was stationed in Claresholm, Alberta and Pat Bay, B.C. In 1948 she married Harry Nash of Vernon. They loved the Okanagan and lived all their married life in Vernon, raising their family here. They recently celebrated their 65th anniversary this past August. Mom was a very social person and made good friends throughout her life. She worked at Eatons for many years and was a former President in Jaycettes. She was active in St. Helenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guild at All Saints Anglican Church and a long-time member of both the Naturalists Club and Allen Brooks Nature Center. Joyce also volunteered with the Provincial Emergency Program, the Salvation Army and Scouts Canada. Mom loved the outdoors, was an avid bird watcher and enjoyed hiking and camping trips. She especially enjoyed seeing the early Spring flowers in Kal Park. Mom was devoted to her family and friends and visiting with them was one of her greatest pleasures. The many dinners she hosted will always be remembered. Joyce is survived by her husband Harry, daughters Sharon Jensen (Gordon); Shirley Nash (husband, Bob Shanahan); son Robert Nash (Kim); 7 grandchildren: Ryan and Jenifer Jensen, Rama, Deva and Jai Warnes and Jasmine and Siena Nash. Also 3 great-grandchildren: Zain, Von and Vincent. Joyce was predeceased by her brother Dennis Austin and is survived by her two sisters, Eileen Husted and Diane Wiege.
