Owen Davis, nine, gets help finding a new helmet from his sister Kora, 14, at the 44th annual Vernon Ski and Snowboard Swap at the Vernon Recreation Complex Saturday.

For a little guy, Adrian Wikene admits he is loud.

Which the Vernon RCMP detachment certainly appreciates.

Wikene and co-worker Andy Wilkie, both from Vernon who work for a Salmon Arm restoration company, were heading back to Blind Bay, outside of Salmon Arm, from a job in Kelowna on Oct. 15 when they stopped at a red light in Vernon at the bottom of Hospital Hill, opposite the Green Valley Motel, on 32nd Street Wikene looked out his window and noticed an RCMP officer trying to subdue a man in the motel parking lot.

“I was driving, saw the incident, it looked to be under control so I rolled down the window and yelled, ‘Way to go’ to the officer. He (the officer) stated loudly, ‘Call 911,’” said Wikene.

“Andy called and we went to the scene and took care of it.”

The story begins at 2:30 p.m. that afternoon when Vernon RCMP received a call about a disturbance at Bannister GM. A local man, known to police, was attempting to test drive a high-end vehicle. According to police, the man uttered death threats to employees when he was denied the chance to take the vehicle out.

The man then went to a second business and started yelling at the staff and customers there.

A short time later, a Vernon RCMP officer was conducting enquiries near the Green Valley Motel when the suspect walked into the parking lot.

He was easily identifiable from descriptions provided by the two businesses.

“Our officer advised the suspect he was under arrest,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.

“The suspect refused to come co-operatively. Our officer

“While holding the man on the ground and attempting to gain control of him, the suspect kept struggling to get free.”

Two women from the motel, associates of the suspect, came out and began to interfere with the officer, grabbing at his hands and face.

Enter Wikene and Wilkie.

“I put weight on the suspect’s legs so he couldn’t kick or flip over, and Adrian was doing crowd control,” said Wilkie.

“I kept the two women away from the scene along with anyone else who wanted to intervene,” added Wilkie, who called 911 and RCMP officers were on the scene to assist “within twoto-three minutes.”

On Monday, the pair were presented Commanding Officer’s citations from Vernon RCMP Insp. Jim McNamara, on behalf of Supt. Reg Burgess, officer in charge of the Vernon RCMP detachment.

“They’re decisive actions are an excellent example of citizens helping out and acting in a manner that makes our community

a better and safer place,” said McNamara.

“On behalf of our members, as well as the community as a whole, I’d like to express the utmost gratitude to both of you for your quick, selfless assistance.”

The male officer in the case offered his thanks to Wilkie and Wikene at the scene.

For both men, the incident in the motel parking lot was a first, and each said they’d help out again in a heartbeat.

“Absolutely. These guys keep our streets safe,” said Wikene.

“We didn’t do anything heroic,” added Wilkie. “We did what any decent person would have done.”

The suspect, a 29-year-old Vernon man with outstanding warrants in Alberta, was remanded in custody until a provincial court appearance today.

He is expected to face charges of causing a disturbance and resisting arrest, and could face further charges.

The two women, 39 and 52, were released on a promise to appear in court on Nov. 21 for resisting a peace officer and possibly obstruction.

Debate continues over gravel pit plan Many children also use East Vernon Road to walk to nearby BX Elementary School.

There is minimal shoulder and no sidewalks.

“The thought of gravel trucks going through there is scary,” said Donnelly.

Besides the petition, the residents have put together a package expressing their opposition to the pit proposal. It will be presented to the ALC. “They are going to hear from us,” said Donnelly.

“And if they allow it, the matter won’t end there. We will keep fighting it.”

The Regional District of North Okanagan board has asked Mines Minister Bill Bennett to personally review the gravel application instead of leaving a decision to ministry staff.

It has also been suggested that RDNO may amend zoning, which currently allows for gravel extraction on the Brentwood Road site.

Mertion believes that would be unfair after he has followed the process put before him.

“Change it for the next guy sure, but they’re not going to change it on my watch,” he said.

However, resident Blair Peden says gravel extraction wasn’t a permitted use in the residential zone until a provincial policy shift in 2003.

“When we bought there, it was a certainty a gravel pit wouldn’t be a neighbour,” he said.

richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Relations remain rocky between residents of a BX neighbourhood and a businessman proposing a gravel pit next door.

Klayton Mertion continues to be the focus of political debate and a 655-name petiton over his bid to mine gravel from two hectares on Brentwood Road, off of East Vernon Road.

“No one has come around and talked to us about this. To this day, they have never asked us what our plan is,” said the owner of Mertion Excavating.

“My intention is to keep it only for my own business.”

— Urquhart But, residents insist their concerns are valid.

“We were told this would just be a homesite but after 100 trucks of gravel came out, we knew this wasn’t just a homesite,” said Terry Donnelly, who has lived on Brentwood Road for 40 years.

“It’s not just a bit of landscaping. That’s industrial.”

Final approval for the application rests with the Ministry of Mines but the proposal is currently before the Agricultural Land Commission because the site is in the Agricultural Land Reserve.

“It substantially increases the agricultural use,” said Mertion of removing some mounds of earth and levelling the site off for crops or other uses.

Besides wanting to construct a home there, Mertion admits that a primary interest in removing gravel is financial.

“I have to go to Coldstream or past the dump for aggregate. There’s no source in this part of town. I’m the closest to Silver Star and the road maintenance (company)

“There could be silt into the creek.”

richard rolke/morning star

Klayton Mertion describes the proposal for gravel extraction on his property on Brentwood Road in the BX Monday. has called me.”

He anticipates about 60,000 metres of gravel being removed over five years and he disputes claims that will create traffic problems.

“I only have two trucks,” he said.

Mertion says he has purchased a water truck to keep dust down and he has hired a consultant to ensure the area along BX Creek is protected.

“I’ve already started replanting along the creek.”

Brentwood Road residents say a gravel pit could have a substantial impact on the

environment.

“There could be silt into the creek,” said resident Dale Urquhart, adding that noise and dust could also impact the appeal of the BX Creek hiking trail and the serenity of the area.

“There are farms all of the way around and bed and breakfasts.”

Another major concern is large trucks coming into conflict with motorists on Brentwood and East Vernon roads.

“You never know what’s coming. Vehicles come whipping around the (East Vernon) corner,” said Urquhart.

Another Vernon business with a display near a window was the victim of a break-in Monday morning.

Vernon RCMP responded to a glass break and front motion alarm at Shoppers Drug Mart in the 3400 block of 31st Avenue at 2:30 a.m.

“It appears two suspects entered the store through a broken window and stole an assortment of computer components that were in the display area near the window,” said Vernon RCMP spokesGord Molendyk person Gord Molendyk, who released a description of both suspects.

The two individuals are of skinny build, and both were wearing black hoodies and gloves.

The first suspect appears to have black pants, white shoes, shorter hair and appeared to have darker complexion.

The second individual had a dark toque on under a hoodie, appeared to have grey pants and black shoes with white trim along sides.

The two suspects fled in a vehicle, though police did not have a vehicle description. As of Monday, officers were looking at video from the store as part of their investigation.

A week ago, on Thanksgiving Monday morning, police were alerted to a window smash at the main branch of Canada Post, and a collectors edition coin display had been stolen.

Truck strikes Lumby home richard rolke Morning Star Staff

An elderly Lumby couple has been displaced after a vehicle crashed into their home.

Emergency personnel received reports just before 12:30 p.m.

Sunday that a pickup truck had left Vernon Street, took out a power pole and struck a house.

“There were no major injuries even though the elderly residents were in the house at the time,” said Tony Clayton, Lumby fire chief.

“The residents are in the care of emergency social services.”

About $10,000 to $20,000 in damages was done to the house and a structural assessment will be needed to determine if the residents can return.

Vernon Street, which is Highway 6, was closed for an hour-and-a-half because of live power lines on the road.

The cause of the

accident remains under investigation.

“It looks like someone missed the corner.

There are no speed marks and no liquor was involved,” said Cpl. Henry Proce, with the Lumby RCMP detachment.

Police could not say if the two crimes were connected.

“It appears we have we have some individuals that are very active in our community right now, said Molendyk. “Whether it’s a group or more, our officers are trying to hard to identify that.”

Such break-ins are frustrating for business owners, said Molendyk.

“It’s very difficult and frustrating for both them and police,” he said. “The more security they put into place, the greater the methods these individuals go to to get into a place. They’ll even drive through a window,” (a reference to a break-in Thanksgiving Sunday at a Vernon gun shop where suspects used a stolen truck to ram into the front window, then made off with five firearms).

Police are still investigating all three break-ins.

Anybody with any information is asked to call the Vernon detachment at 250-545-7171, or Crime Stoppes at 1-800-222-8477.

Q: A:

Why Powers of Attorney?

You should have Powers of Attorney once you have any protect-able assets, for instance, you own a house or a business or even a bank account.

Should you be in an accident, ill or out of the country, someone can attend to your financial affairs on your behalf.

The person you give a Power of Attorney should be a trusted person. You should also understand that abuse of Powers of Attorney is one of the most common ways of elder abuse. We often see cases where children abuse these Powers of Attorney, so don’t assume you will be immune to this.

There are many different types of Powers of Attorney, they can be custom tailored to fit your particular circumstances.

At Laarakker Law, Wills and Estate Planning is not just something we do; it is something we specialize in. After all, the legacy you leave behind is more important than what you leave behind.

B.C. Conservatives ‘energetic’ after AGM RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

They may have lost at the polls, but the B.C. Conservatives aren’t giving up.

About 80 people attended the party’s annual general meeting in Vernon Saturday, the first major gathering since May’s provincial election in which the Conservatives only got 4.7 per cent of the

popular vote.

“It was a very energetic meeting,” said Tom Birch, who was elected president Saturday.

“A lot of people are looking to the future.

After the election, people were worn out and discouraged but the party had doubled in size and there were growth issues. Now, we’re trying to deal with those issues.”

“A lot of people are looking to the future.”

— Tom Birch

Birch, who lives in Salmon Arm and was the Shuswap candidate in May, says his goal is to move the party towards the future and away from a past domi-

The Corporation of the

nated by infighting.

“We need to make sure we take what we learned in the election and help the constituencies prepare for 2017 (election),” he said.

A major step towards that will be selecting a

party leader in April.

“We have two great candidates,” Birch said of Kamloops’ Dan Brooks and Rick Peterson of Vancouver.

Birch also wants to build on what he sees as a general public dissatisfaction with the political system in B.C. and particularly the Liberal government.

“I do believe people are dominated by the NDP. They vote for them or against them,”

he said.

“There isn’t a lot of support for the Liberals.

People vote Liberal because they are voting anti-NDP. We are going to appeal to the base we believe is there. We are going to be prepared for 2017.”

Besides Birch, delegates elected a new party executive Saturday.

Vice-president is Paul Redekopp, while treasurer is Yvonne Darcel and secretary is Nathan

Giede.

Four directors were elected, including Janet Green, from Lumby, and Scott Anderson, from Vernon.

Birch isn’t surprised that three members of the board come from the North OkanaganShuswap.

“We hold one-quarter of the party membership in the North Okanagan. It shows the demographics of the party,” he said.

The highly contentious issue of genetically modified crops is being tossed back to the politicians.

The agricultural

advisory committee has decided the Regional District of North Okanagan board must determine any future direction on genetically modified organisms in the community.

“We are only an advisory body and we weren’t tasked to come up with a recommendation. We were asked to just consider the matter,” said Mike Macnabb, committee chairper-

Macnabb also believes that the controversial nature of GMOs may have forced some volunteers to leave the committee and their skill base would be lost.

“We have other issues to focus on besides GMOs.” However, he admits that sending the matter to the RDNO board was not unanimous among committee members.

“Some people want a complete ban on GMO crops but we don’t have the authority to do that,” he said of the regional district.

“The provincial government is the first level to do anything and the federal government is the top level.”

Macnabb says the preference of some committee members is for RDNO not to get actively involved and for residents to pursue personal choice on what they eat and grow.

“People can make their own decisions,” he said.

It’s not known if the issue will be discussed by members of the RDNO board at their meeting Nov. 6.

Support growing for governance petition richard rolke Morning Star Staff

There continues to be strong interest in pursuing a new governance model for Greater Vernon.

The Society for the Future Governance of Greater Vernon had its petition at the Schubert Centre on the weekend.

“There was a very good response there,” said director Peter Moore.

The petition urges local and provincial authorities to develop a plan to combine Vernon, Coldstream and Areas B and C into a single entity.

The campaign has also received an endorsement from

“There are a lot of petition forms out there.”

— Peter Moore

the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce.

“Decisions made by the City of Vernon can be of huge importance to the residents of Coldstream, and vice-versa,” said Adrian Johnson, chamber president.

“We residents of these municipalities and areas live, work and play together. We should be allowed to decide if we want to be governed together.”

Currently, there are more than 2,000 signatures on hard copies and at greatervernongovernance.ca.

The society hopes to have 4,000 names by Oct. 31.

“There are a lot of petition forms out there right now,” said Moore.

Canvassers have been going to homes, door-to-door, with petitions.

But plans to have the petitions available in

Greater Vernon stores have experienced a challenge.

“We approached businesses about having the petition and they are reticient about having petitions outside of their businesses,” said Moore.

“They are nervous about any possible divisiveness.”

An attempt will be made by the society to have petitions in some stores this coming weekend.

Eric Foster, VernonMonashee MLA, recently stated that the provincial government will not force amalgamation on Greater Vernon and any request for a governance study or referen-

Gort’s Gouda can resume operations Morning Star Staff

A Salmon Arm cheese company can resume operations after health officials determined it is meeting provincial standards.

Gort’s Gouda Cheese was ordered to stop selling its products after an outbreak of e.coli was linked to the operation in September. In one case, a Vernon woman died after consuming the non-pasteurized gouda cheese.

The operation can resume production and distribution of both its pasteurized and nonpasteurized gouda cheese products.

“There will be condi-

tions which the operator must meet as they resume,” said Lynn Wilcott, acting director of food protection services for the B.C. Centre for Disease Control.

“Gort’s must con-

duct tests of unpasteurized cheese before it leaves the plant. Those results will be reviewed regularly by provincial inspectors.”

Inspectors with BCCDC, the Interior

Health Authority and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency will continue to monitor the operation and periodically conduct inspections to ensure safety standards.

Don’t Let Your Windows Leave You In A Fog Dirty Foggy Windows

Many homes built between the late 70s and the early 90s experience sealed unit failure. Unit failure leads to condensation forming between the two layers of glass causing them to steam and fog up.

Is There a Solution?

Yes, the only real solution is to replace the sealed unit. You only need to replace the glass not the frame which means it can be done easily with a minimum amount of disruption.

DID YOU KNOW there are different types of beef roast?

If you have had a problem cooking roasts, it may be you are selecting the wrong roast for the cooking application.

There are essentially three different types of roasts: Pot Roast, Oven Roast, and Premium Oven Roast.

Premium Oven Roasts include Top Sirloin, Prime Rib, and Strip Loin. Premium roasts are aged a minimum of 14 days for tenderness, graded, well marbled, fine grained, and should be cooked quickly at high heat.

Here is a recipe for Premium Oven Roast that will ensure a tender, juicy roast every time: 1. Place roast, fat side up, on rack in roasting pan without lid 2. Season to taste 3. Insert meat thermometer in centre of roast, avoiding fat or bone. Roast at 325°F to desired internal temperature - For rare 140°F, for medium 160°F, for well 170°F For more information about Askew’s premium beef, feel free to speak with our meat department specialists.

No magic bullet

lected officials at all levels are under significant pressure to do something about the economy.

That’s no surprise given the number of residents working in northern Alberta, the empty storefronts and the steady demand for basic necessities at the food bank.

But there’s no magic bullet when it comes to turning things around.

“A lot of people have a misconception about what we can do for business,” said Kevin Poole, Vernon’s economic development manager.

“There is a scope we have to work within.”

And that scope is firmly established by the provincial Local Government Act. “There is a prohibition against aiding business,” said Poole.

“We can’t just say, ‘We will exempt you from property taxes or give you free land or rebates for jobs. In other jurisdictions, primarily in the Richard Rolke U.S., that can occur.”

Municipalities and regional districts must also ensure that any potential business subsidies don’t contravene trade pacts between B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan.

“We can’t create an unfair playing field for one business over another,” said Poole.

A popular complaint is that a municipality has hired an outside firm for paving, roofing or some other project. The thought is that work is being taken away from local residents.

But legislation and the courts have been very clear that buy local policies are unacceptable and the tendering process must be open to anyone, no matter where they come from.

“We have to get the best value for local tax dollars,” said Poole of looking to the market.

It should also be noted that while businesses from Kelowna, Kamloops or elsewhere work in the North Okanagan, professionals from Vernon, Armstrong and Lumby can go there.

“If we only hired and bought local and the other communities did the same, there would only be opportunities for businesses here,” said Poole of possibly stagnating the entrepreneurial spirit.

But while there is a lot municipalities can’t do, there are a few tools to attract investors.

As an example, the City of Vernon decided in 2012 to offer 10-year tax exemptions to business for redevelopment in the waterfront and city centre areas. Such a move is allowed because the exemption covers a broad neighbourhood and not one specific business.

The city can also upfront funds for pricey infrastructure works, such as occurred in the Anderson subdivision, so one property owner isn’t left holding the bag. The costs are then repaid by future developers.

Of course, there are other tangible ways of helping business, including streamlining the approval process for development and business permits. Perhaps there can be flexibility with signage or road access if public safety is taken into account.

Some infrastructure works, such as sidewalks, can possibly be put on hold if public needs don’t warrant them at the time.

Ensuring there is appropriate zoning for a range of land uses is also critical.

Civic elections in the North Okanagan are just about a year away and a lot of the pre-campaign debate will focus on what local leaders can do to spur growth and keep our youth here.

The reality, though, is those critical factors influencing the economy are out of Toronto, New York and London and not Enderby, Coldstream and Spallumcheen.

Rapid growth from 1999 to 2007 occurred because the North Okanagan went along for the global ride. On the flip side, outside forces have contributed to the recession here.

Poole is dedicated and eagerly works the phones daily trying to lure investors to the region. But his selling points have to rely more on golf, skiing and sunshine than monetary carrots.

The scandal over the Senate grew larger Monday, with allegations from Senator Mike Duffy’s lawyer that Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s office knew a lot more about Duffy’s controversial expenses than the PM is admitting.

These are simply allegations from a lawyer, but there is a hint that Duffy has some evidence to back these claims, in the form of e-mails from the prime minister’s office (PMO).

The impetus for this spectacle of a senator in disrepute taking aim at the prime minister is a move being pushed by the Conservatives (almost certainly crafted in the PMO). They want to take away the pay of senators Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau — even though Duffy and Wallin, as yet, are facing no charges. Brazeau faces charges in a domestic dispute, and has been suspended with pay from the Senate. His expenses are also in question, but he faces no charges on this matter yet.

While public opinion likely backs the suspension of the three senators’ pay, all of us, even senators in disrepute, deserve fair process. To take away the pay of senators who are under investigation but not facing any charges, sets a bad precedent. There may well be a case for suspending Brazeau’s pay, given that he is facing criminal charges, but for the moment, Duffy and Wallin should have the right to confront their accusers head-on and sit in the Senate until charged with criminal offences.

The uproar over their expenses is legitimate, but it is not yet a criminal matter. Suspending their pay is a brazen attempt to take the heat off Harper who appointed all three and campaigned on a platform of Senate reform.

The Conservatives and PMO cooked up a scheme which may come back to bite Harper in a very severe fashion.

Chamber backs vote on governance

A

courageous call The late Dr. Donald Low was a wise and compassionate man. His courageous call for legalized, doctorassisted suicide may be unpopular with many but some of us applaud his frankness. For most of us our own death is a nebulous future event that is disconcerting to contemplate, let alone talk about.

Only when death’s cold, cruel hands are tearing at our bodies, will we truly appreciate what Dr. Low was advocating.

Those who obstinately declare that God should decide when and how life ends, display an ‘I-knowwhat-is-best-for-you’ arrogance.

Those of us who would welcome a painless and dignified final exit should have the right to choose.

The risk that someone might abuse Dr. Low’s proposed procedure is relatively insignificant when compared with the pain and suffering being endured by many frail and helpless individuals currently in our medical institutions.

The Canadian Charter of Right and Freedoms states everyone has the freedom of conscience and religion. Unfortunately, the right of a rational person to terminate his or her own torturous death was not added to the list of freedoms.

This issue can be shrugged off by popularity-driven politicians, but Dr. Low knew what he was talking about. lloyd atkins a response A recent letter from a GM food supporter contains some incomplete arguments.

People drew their water from one municipality and disposed of their waste in one municipality.

Even the Grey Canal, which allowed farming in our united region to flourish, had yet to be built.

One hundred years ago, the geographical administrative boundaries made sense.

That was a long time ago.

They don’t make sense any more. Now, decisions made by the City of Vernon can

First there is always the GM industry's standard argument that genetic modification by them is the same thing humans have always been doing with crops.

It simply is not. There is a significant difference between hybridizing plants by natural selection and controlled breeding as compared with the high-tech scientific process of inserting single genes into plants without knowing the full ramifications of that action.

Single genes do not perform single functions, and may alter the plant in more than one manner, and the resulting food stuff may have ongoing effects within the human body.

As for the family farmer owning his own farm, well, yes he does. But once signed on to agribusiness products, he does not own his livelihood, but is controlled by the agribusinesses.

GM growers are not permitted to keep seed from year to year and must buy their seed each year from the producer. While growing GM food crops, they are also locked into buying other products from the company for weed and pest control.

At the end of it all, if they try to go independent, their land will be contaminated with GM seed and its herbicide/pesticide byproducts. That makes future farming independently hazardous as the agribusinesses are prone to litigate against anyone with GM contaminated crops.

So yes, the farmer retains title to his land, but loses title to his freedom of livelihood.

Jim Miles gate closure Like most people, I get up, get ready and head off to work.

During the day, my dog stays at home and sleeps, perhaps getting up once in a while to chew on her bone or grab a bite to eat.

When I get home, I want to relax and eat dinner before I get out and take her for a walk. By this time, it is usually 8 p.m. I put the dog in my truck, hop in, drive to the Kal Lake park parking lot and the gates are closed? I look at the sign and it clearly states that the gates close at 10 p.m. Am I missing something here?

What's with the discrepancy?

be of huge importance to the residents of Coldstream. And vice-versa.

The Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce was incorporated in 1961, 52 years ago. The business leaders of that time recognized that, even in 1961, the businesses and people of these municipalities and areas were heavily co-dependent.

The municipal boundaries were no longer appropriate for effective governance and administration.

Sensibly, the chamber encompasses Vernon, Coldstream and Areas B and C. The business community was able to make this decision.

Much has changed since 1892. We residents of these municipalities and areas now live, work and play together. We should be allowed to decide if we want to be governed together.

The Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce supports calls for a referendum on the unification of the District of Coldstream, Areas B and C and the City of Vernon. adrian Johnson, greater Vernon chamber of commerce president

slow down Thank you so much to the woman that wrote a letter to the paper on the speeding that goes on at the Okanagan Landing Road school zone.

My husband and I have had the same experience. We have had cars pass us in the left-turn lane in the intersection. We would love to have an unmarked police car there just watching. A few of the speeders are parents dropping off their children at school. Some day, a child could get hurt if this keeps up. Hopefully not.

typical day for me starts off with a glass of water supplied by the Regional District of the North Okanagan (and returned to the RDNO a day later).

Then I leave my home in the City of Vernon to drive along the newly paved roads of RDNO’s Area C to drop my daughter, Isla, off at a wonderful daycare.

The sort of rural daycare that could only be found in the regional district.

After that, I travel to my office in the City of Vernon to work with my clients — businesses from across the North Okanagan.

If I’m lucky, I’ll spend a very pleasant evening with Isla and my wife at the beautiful Kal Beach in Coldstream.

These common and connected activities are enabled by three different local governments and three different costly administrations.

Every day, I depend on the roads, parks and other facilities of these three local governments. These are generally paid for by the property taxes of their residents. In some cases, they are paid through a costly,

About 200 acres in Lumby could potentially be used for medicinal marijuana under federal regulations that shifts production from homebased facilities to large operations.

Fisher questions why staff didn’t pro-

Regional District of North Okanagan officials are being told they can’t avoid flood work on Ashton Creek.

“There will need to be a collaborative approach among local government, residents and the province,” he said.

However, RDNO officials have stated that creeks and flooding are provincial mandates and the costs of upgrades and liabilities could be downloaded on to the district if it does the study.

“We will refer it out to other agencies that have more knowledge of the issue such as the RCMP,” he said.

“There are a lot of holes in this plan.

Authorities keeping pace with speeders roger knox Morning Star Staff

roger knox/morning star

City of Vernon transportation demand management coordinator Wendy Majewski announces the launch of a Pace Car program safety initative in Vernon beginning Thursday at Okanagan Landing Elementary School.

2205 - 48th Ave., Vernon

Vernon will set the pace with a new safety intiative.

The city is the first B.C. community and one of 10 designated communities awarded a $1,500 grant to launch a Pace Car program aimed at reducing vehicle speed to prevent crashes and reduce the severity of injuries.

“The Pace Car program is a locally delivered, nationwide program that focuses on raising awareness around speed reduction in the community, especially in school zones and pedestrian-dense areas,” said Wendy Majewski, transportation demand management co-ordinator for the City of Vernon.

The program launches Thursday at 11:30 a.m. at Okanagan Landing Elementary School.

A second Vernon launch is slated for Nov. 5 at Silver Star Elementary School.

The grant comes from Parachute, a national injury-prevention charity.

The Pace Car program is part of Parachute’s child-pedestrian safety

program, Walk This Way. Participants who take part in the strictly volunteer Pace Car program sign a supporter’s pledge and display the official Pace Car window decal on their cars.

“Pace Cars can work to assist in calming traffic throughout a neighbourhood,” said Majewski.

“The more people who participate, the better it works.”

The pledge asks drivers to recognize their car use impacts the livability of other residents’ streets; to drive the posted speed limit on all roads; to let pedestrians cross and be courteous to cyclists and other road users; to minimize car use by using active transportation such as walking or cycling, using transit, car-pooling and combining car trips.

The decal will be displayed on the back of a program participant’s vehicle, and encourages others to take the pledge.

Vernon Mayor Rob Sawatzky and Coun. Juliette Cunningham will be on hand Thursday to help launch the Pace Car program at Okanagan Landing Elementary.

With flu season approaching, public health nurses are gearing up for this year’s vaccination campaign.

Last year, more than 173,000 seasonal flu shots were provided across the Interior free to those at risk of complications from the flu.

“This year’s vaccine contains three different flu strains that will offer protection against two influenza A viruses and one influenza B virus,” said Dr. Rob Parker, medical health officer

“Getting a flu shot and washing your hands frequently are the two most effective ways to protect yourself and others from getting the flu.”

The flu is highly contagious and can cause severe complications for those with heart, lung, and other health problems. Even if you don’t become severely ill, getting the flu can mean several missed days of school, work, and other activities.

To find a flu clinic near you, watch for announcements on dates and times in your community, visit www.interiorhealth.ca/ FluClinics, or contact your local public health centre.

Many physician offices and pharmacies also provide vaccines free to those who are

OPEN BURNING Open air burning is permitted in the Township of Spallumcheen from October 1 each year to April 15 the following year, with extended burning until May 15 by permit only.

Permitted Burning Materials is defined as untreated wood, prunings, branches, tree trunks, stumps, or other vegetation that has been allowed to dry.

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.

Persons in violation of the Township’s burning regulations may be subject to fines up to $2,000.00.

Brian DeBoice, with Vernon’s Habitat for Humanity.

“Many of the items are suitable for shipping to our restore in West Kelowna (which raises funds for Habitat) but we have to stockpile those items until a full load can be gathered.

Many more items are more suited for either use here in Vernon or for our own yard sales where all funds go towards our next build.”

The previous facility was about 1,000-squarefeet in size and something at least half as big is currently being sought.

“Certainly donated space is what we are looking for,” said DeBoice.

“We would like to thank Paul Guidi and Butcher Boys for their awesome support of Habitat for Humanity over the past five years.

Their donation of space served us well and was absolutely free of charge.”

All souls will be haunted for Vampyre Caravan kicks off its season with something creepy at the 10th annual Walk of Terror

Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

As the old legend goes, upon death, our soul is imperishable. It wanders for 40 days and 40 nights before moving on to the afterlife, or it can enter another’s body, wreaking havoc on its host during its days of passing.

And in that time, it may take over, to become, forever, a vampyre.

Most people from this day and age know vampires as fanged tooth, blood sucking, bat morphing lotharios. Their image has evolved from the gothic, undead castle-dwelling figure of Bram Stoker’s Dracula to those sparkling, love-sick beings from Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight series.

But the origins of the vampire (or vampyre as was originally written) are much deeper and darker as visitors to Caravan Farm Theatre will see Saturday when the farm opens its gates to the 10th annual Walk of Terror.

Thought up by Caravan’s artistic director Courtenay Dobbie, with the help of designer/ creators Scott Crocker, Anita Rochon and Emilia Symington-Fedy, this year’s Walk of Terror theme should creep into the soul without relying on the gore of so many horror tales of today.

“Vampires and zombies are so popular right now, I didn’t want to do the typical vampire show,” said Dobbie.

Instead, the Caravan crew looked into the origins of the nocturnal creature and its blood sucking legacy. Turns out, it was souls the original vampires were more interested in.

“I thought it would be way cooler to riff on that. In mythology, they talk about vampires

Victoria duo Hank and Lily are performing at the 10th annual Walk of terror at Caravan Farm theatre saturday. being shapeshifters, and so we will have a few bats to adhere to that part of the story,” said Dobbie.

The design team has already come up with a number of creepy costumes and props that will be used by live actors on the outdoor walk that takes people around part of the farm — in the dark.

“We have 50-plus community volunteers that are part of it. They are great and go into it with full gusto,” said Dobbie. “Some have a performance or artistic interest and some are not necessarily performers but like to support Caravan. And people like getting dressed up.”

Adding to the creepiness will be a screen-

ing of 1922 German black and white film Nosferatu, which will be shown during the walk and also as a backdrop to the musical performance by Hank and Lily in Caravan’s barn venue afterwards.

Hailing from Victoria, Hank Pine and Lily Fawn are not only musicians but performance artists who like to dress for the occasion, and not only for Halloween.

“Lily wears deer horns as part of her costume and Hank wears a gas mask when he performs. Their esthetic is crazy and their music is like modern disco. It’s very danceable,” said Dobbie.

Those who go on the Walk of Terror are

also welcome to dress in their own Halloween finery, with prizes given for best costume at the dance.

The Walk of Terror opens Caravan’s theatre season, which continues with the winter sleigh ride production of Little Brother, Little Sister, written by Toronto playwright Adam Underwood.

“It’s based one of the Brothers Grimm’s lesser-known fairytales,” said Dobbie. “It’s about accepting change, forgiveness, and the love between a brother and sister. It has some comedy and will be light and family-oriented.”

Caravan’s summer production, The Tragical Comedy of Punch and Judy, by Victoria playwright Jacob Richmond, with music by Hank Pine (yes of Hank and Lily), is inspired by the famed puppet commedia dell’arte show of the same name.

“It’s a brand, new comedy with a circus feel and will feature horse-drawn carts and all sorts of crazy characters,” said Dobbie.

Visitors to Caravan will also get to meet the farm’s new residents: Clydesdale teams Spike and Frenchie and Jack and Sunny, who will join the other horses in pulling the sleighs this winter.

“Thanks to generous donations last season, we purchased not one, but two teams of Clydesdales,” said Dobbie, adding fundraising for a new horse shelter was also successful thanks, in part, to a CD the cast from Caravan’s summer production of Head over Heels sold to audiences.

“We are also raising money for a brand, new barn for the horses, which we will continue to do this season.”

Gates to Saturday’s 10th annual Walk of Terror at Caravan Farm Theatre open at 6:30 p.m. The walk starts at 7 p.m., with the performance by Hank and Lily at 8 p.m. Tickets are $18/adults and $22 at the gate. Children 12 and under are $6. Reserve online at www.ticketseller. ca or by phone, at 250-549-7469.

Kelowna artist deconstructs First Nations stereotypes in Re-Mediating Curtis Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

It was while visiting the First Peoples Gallery at the Royal B.C. Museum in Victoria that Stephen Foster first encountered the work of early 20th century photographer/ethnologist Edward Sheriff Curtis.

Amongst the Haida argillite carvings done by his ancestors, the totems and ancient artifacts, Foster was drawn to a film that was shot Wednesday, October 23, 2013 - The Morning Star Z1

in the northern part of Vancouver Island in the early 1900s.

That film was Curtis’ In the Land of the Head Hunters, which showed a rather savage looking bunch of Kwakiutl (Kwakwaka’wakw).

“I first saw it in segments at the museum, then had to look hard to get an original copy of the film,” said Foster. “It was a European film with characters from Northern Vancouver Island playing the roles.”

A video and electronic media artist and associate professor in the faculty of creative and critical studies at UBC Okanagan, Foster decided to do what Curtis had done before him. He created his own version of the film and images, resulting in the multi-part installation, Re-Mediating Curtis.

The first part, Toy Portraits, showed 3D photos of dolls remade in the Indian likeness developed by Curtis at the Kelowna Art

Small Business Week L October 20 - 26 2013

Gallery this summer.

The second part, a Canada Council of the Arts funded video installation, entitled Re-Mediating Curtis: Remix, opens at the Vernon Public Art Gallery Thursday.

“I have remixed the film and am allowing the audience to remix it,” said Foster about his interactive video and audio installation.

“In the original film (Curtis) created an entire village set on Deer Island off Vancouver Island

near Prince Rupert. For the main part of my installation, I have recreated the set in 3D, in a way of romanticizing the vision.”

In the Land of the Head Hunters, according to Curtis’ 1915 book of the same name, was to “give a glimpse of the primitive Americans as they lived in the Stone Age and as they still were living when explorers touched the shores of the Pacific between 1774 and 1791.”

According to documents, Curtis paid the Kwakiutl men in the film 50 cents each to shave off their facial hair and don wigs and clipon nose rings to resemble their pre-European contact ancestors.

“Curtis was trying to strive for an authentic picture of Indianess, a romantic version of Indianess. If they didn’t look Indian enough, he shoe polished their skin or made them wear

wigs to cover their short hair. He wasn’t showing them with their button blankets. He showed them as they were living in the past. He showed their culture as primitive and dead. The focal point was on how these people were, although it was completely his imagination. The people were aware he was creating images, but it became ubiquitous.”

Part of a bigger project, a 20-volume book called The North American Indian, Curtis’ In the Land of the Head Hunters opened in New York in 1914 to critical acclaim but financial failure.

Tossed away, it wasn’t until decades later that the film was re-edited and released as In the Land of the War Canoes.

“The newer edit of the film is a different kind of animal,” said Foster. “They re-framed it more as a documentary claiming it was something different, an appropriation of culture.”

In his later years, Curtis also worked on westerns with Hollywood director Cecil B. DeMille.

“He advised on how the Indians should look.

It’s that iconic image of the Indian as the western genre took off; that of the mobile savage.”

Foster’s own ancestry came to play on why he decided to re-mediate Curtis through his own art.

Originally from Lantzville on Vancouver Island, Foster is part Haida from his father’s side and also of European descent.

“My father’s family moved in the late 1800s

Foster eventually left the island to pursue an undergraduate and graduate degree from York University in Toronto, and taught for eight years out east before coming back to B.C. in 2000, where he started teaching at Okanagan University College and later at UBC. Foster’s other reason for re-mediating Curtis is how the film, and its later edited version, generate a stereotype of the indigenous people.

“There is something about it that’s not quite

right. It’s a definite misrepresentation that gets misconstrued in popular culture,” said Foster pointing to more recent films such as Avatar, which shows the natives, in this case the Na’vi, as primitive and one with the environment in which they live.

With Re-Mediating Curtis: Remix about to open, Foster says he hopes to turn his findings into an even greater project.

“I hope to have it impact culturally rather then just the critical aspects and serve as a touchstone for indigenous people,” he said.

Showing alongside Foster’s installation will be a group exhibition by the Kama?

Creative Aboriginal Arts Collective, a newly formed arts collective that has brought together 10 emerging and established First Nations artists who are members of the Okanagan Indian Band (Suknaqinx).

E n t i t l e d Transformations, the exhibition brings together traditional and contemporary works of art that contribute to the understanding of cultural values, identity, history, and contemporary issues of Okanagan First Nations.

The artworks in

the exhibition are in the format of drawing, painting, photography, metal sculpture and buckskin.

Artists participating include Mariel Belanger, Val Chiba, Dean Louis, Sheldon Louis, Pierre Richard, Abby Marchand, Barbara Marchand, David Wilson, Vern Tronson, and Mona Tronson.

“We wish to thank Stephen Foster, Vernon’s Friendship Centre and the participating artists for their dedication to First Nations art in a contemporary format,” said VPAG executive director Dauna Kennedy Grant.

“We are also delighted to have received financial support from the Canada Council for the Arts to assist us in presenting Stephen Foster’s exhibition. This federal funding is a first for the Vernon Public Art Gallery and I commend our staff for producing the type of work that has enabled us to access these funds.”

The opening reception for both exhibitions takes place at the Vernon Public Art Gallery, 3228 31st Ave. Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. The exhibitions continue at the gallery until Dec. 23. Admission is by donation.

A noble start

unday’s season opener for Okanagan Symphony was the fall reunion after the long, hot summer. In the busy pre-show crowd, friends greeted friends, enjoying the ambiance.

Onstage, conductor and music director Rosemary Thomson started strongly with Rossini’s overture from his opera William Tell. Describing it as “a small symphony,” she listed four clearly defined sections.

Perhaps initially unfamiliar, it opened with brooding basses and cellos, leading to a thoughtful hymn-like passage. A draJim Elderton matic storm followed, then a flute and horn duet.

Finally the bit we’d waited for: the trumpet heralded the “Lone Ranger” theme, pinched from Rossini’s daring charge of William Tell’s cavalry. The audience just loved it – good bang for their bucks. Thomson’s comment was “That’s too much fun!”

Often the second piece chosen is a concerto, with a symphony occupying the second half. But this time the order was reversed since we only had half a symphony.

Schubert’s “Unfinished” Symphony was actually one of several he wrote, ranging from un-developed sketches to his seventh symphony, composed but never orchestrated.

On Sunday we heard his most famous incomplete work. The first two movements were completed, with only partly orchestrated sketches for a third movement.

This had been a difficult time for Schubert. Not only had he contracted syphilis, he was undergoing a major change in direction. The piece illustrates these stressful circumstances, yet despite his inability to complete it, this became his most respected work.

He abandoned the project. And even though he lived for another six years, apparently it was never resumed.

He regarded the finished sections a suitable gift for a friend to pass along to his brother Anselm.

But instead of scheduling a performance, Anselm kept it to himself, possibly out of jealousy. It was another 43 years before it received its premiere.

ClassiCal Notes

Even as only two movements, audiences consider it one of Schubert’s most cherished compositions, although tradition argues that symphonies should always finish in the same key as for the first movement.

I’ve never seen a concerto for violin and cello. As it turns out, there are many in the classical repertoire, but the Brahms’ Double Concerto is rated the best. It was his final work, and he wrote it for his old friend, violinist Joseph Joachim. He gave the manuscript to him with the dedication “To him for whom it was written.”

Many reacted unfavorably, considering it “not brilliant for the instruments” and “one of Brahms’ most inapproachable and joyless compositions.” (He had already outlined a second double concerto but destroyed his notes after this cool reception.) It has always been dogged by the need for two brilliant soloists.

Booking a “normal” concerto soloist might be compared to putting a single man on Everest, but now there would be two. And here on Sunday, Thomson gave us the perfect pairing: Dale Barltrop (violin) and Joseph Johnson (cello).

Continuing in the tradition of Brahms’ other concerti, the first movement introduced the theme. The solo cello opening was spartan.

But the violin entered, and here’s the clue to the success of this concerto: the cello-violin combination had a massive tonal range. And when the cello played high and the violin played low (as happened many times) the combination was fascinating.

With the two playing a single line of notes (one instrument alternating with the other) you had to see it to believe it. With my eyes shut I couldn’t tell where one stopped and the other started.

The second movement was unusual, with both instruments often playing in unison. (Again taking advantage of this unusual combination). Thomson’s description of this movement as “Noble Grandeur” resulted in her theme title for the whole concert.

The third exploded into life.

Frequently the violin provided the spark to revive the whole orchestra, ending the piece with one of Brahms’ typically Hungarian gypsy motifs that he so often used for his other major scores.

Last year’s changes to Citizenship and Immigration Canada’s language requirements mean that applicants for citizenship must meet a higher standard of knowledge of either English or French.

“The idea is to make sure that new citizens are proficient in one of the official languages and have a good basic knowledge of Canada. This is a move to help new citizens have better opportunities and integrate better,” said Wendy Zarr, Vernon and District Immigrant Services Society ELSA (English Language Services for Adults)

co-ordinator/instructor.

There are testing centres for written and oral communication on the Lower Mainland and in Victoria and applicants for citizenship (ages 18 to 54) may visit one of these sites to get a certificate of language proficiency.

“That can be difficult for people in smaller centres so we are now able to offer provincially funded English language classes for adults, which will be proof that the language requirements are met. Certificates are issued,” said Zarr.

Applicants must do a test that shows they meet Canadian language benchmark 4 and

attend and participate in classes for at least 150 hours, which can be done over a longer or shorter period of time to accommodate individual schedules.

“These classes are free for people who are eligible. There is an assessment interview before people are assigned classes so they are placed at the right level and they can start classes at any time of the year,” said Tanis Farina, settlement worker, Vernon and District Immigrant Services Society.

Zarr added, “People who come to the classes say they learn English and enjoy the classes for social networking,

support and learning about other countries. We have had students from as many as 13 countries in one class.”

The society also offers citizenship classes, help with citizenship applications, links with community services, filling out forms and legal aid, among other things. There is also translation available and the society would like to add more people to its list of translators.

For more information about language classes and other services, contact Vernon and District Immigrant Services Society at 250-542-4177 or vdiss@shaw.ca or see www. vdiss.com.

Program celebrates 22 years of success Sharon durant Special to The Morning Star

The North Okanagan Eating Disorder Program would like to invite everyone who has been connected to the program to celebrate 22 years of success at our open house this afternoon.

It has been an incredible journey from the onset in March 1991, working closely with Grace Kramer, team lead at the time for the Ministry for Children and Families; Donna Antonishak, community nutritionist; psychiatrist Dr. Fiona McGregor and others who had the foresight to see the dire need for treating youth and adults struggling with disordered eating. When the government pilot project funding was received and later annualized, the program needed a home. That home was with the Canadian Mental Health Association in Vernon and then executive director Hugh Bohm.

The Eating Disorder Program started

with the bare essentials, minimal services in the rent-waived Club House owned by CMHA. After five years, the program was relocated to the People Place to join other non-profit programs to offer a welcoming atmosphere of acceptance and provide accessible centralized service.

Many individuals have helped to build this program over the years, including recently retired CMHA executive director Sandy Rysen and many parents who volunteered hours of their time. Parents formed a non-profit group to augment program services and create public awareness both within the professional and general communities.

As well, present and past program staff Sharon Robbie, Carol Treller, Christina Camilleri, Dr. David Smith, Dr. Paul Carey, Dr. Russell Williams, Dr. Fiona McGregor, Louise Roberts and Jennifer Podovenikoff provided the dedication and commitment necessary to provide this very successful

service. In addition, various members of MCFD and IHA Adult Mental Health, inpatient services within Vernon Jubilee Hospital, counsellors and teachers of the Vernon School District, various community support services, general practitioners and the North Okanagan Pediatric Clinic deserve sincere recognition for their invaluable role. The Eating Disorder Program will continue to operate through the Interior Health Authority beginning Nov. 1, referrals remain the same and are provided through family physicians.

Thank you to everyone, from the staff and from our clients who have benefited from the services provided through this small but mighty program.

Please join us today between 2:30 and 5:30 p.m. at the People Place, #105, 340227th Ave. Sharon Durant is interim branch manager for the Canadian Mental Health Association, Vernon branch.

Helping navigate the world of dementia Morning Star Staff

How does dementia affect you? And how do you get help with it from the health-care system? The non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. will guide Vernon residents through those issues during a free teleworkshop on Thursday.

Family caregivers can learn about advocating for a person with dementia with the help of Barbara Lindsay, the society’s director of advocacy and public policy.

The tele-workshop starts at 7 p.m. Visit www.alzheimerbc.org or phone toll-free 1-866994-7745, and enter pass code 1122333, when prompted.

Te l e - w o r k s h o p s are learning sessions designed for family caregivers, but also open to health-care providers. The sessions can be accessed via telephone, with an optional computer component that allows you to watch the video presentation online, recognizing that many caregivers are unable to attend in-person workshops. At the end of the tele-workshop, participants have an opportunity to ask and share with others who are in similar situations. nnn

When someone receives a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia, they are not the only ones who are affected.

“Dementia can profoundly impact the lives of those closest to the person, including caregivers, family members and friends,” says Carly Gronlund, support and education co-ordinator for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. for Vernon and the North/ Central Okanagan.

People who are caring for someone with dementia will experience the challenges

associated with the disease in their own way.

“It is important to recognize that there are many different approaches to supporting someone with dementia, and caregivers often need to explore a variety of techniques and strategies to determine what works best for them.”

About one in 11 Canadians over age 65 already live with dementia. The diagnosis triggers a flood of emotions, says Gronlund, including fear, anger, sadness, embarrassment and disbelief. At the same

time, it may also provide a sense of relief, as it offers an explanation for the symptoms people experience.

The society runs two free local support and information groups.

They serve as a forum for sharing practical tips and strategies for coping with the disease.

The groups help create support and friendship with others whose lives are affected by dementia. For more information, contact Gronlund toll-free at 1-800-634-3399 or cgronlund@alzheimerbc.org.

A successful tournament is truly a team effort!

It happens when you combine the skills and enthusiasm of the golfers, the beauty and playability of the golf course, the generosity of the sponsors and donors as well as the participants, the tremendous support of the Predator Ridge staff and the unselfishness of the volunteers.

Rare tree planted for Armstrong centennial Morning Star Staff

A permanent commemoration of Armstrong’s centennial has taken root.

The ArmstrongSpallumcheen Environmental Trust planted a yellow cedar tree in honour of the community’s 100th birthday recently at the Meighan Creek Greenways trail.

Students from all schools in Armstrong participated in the planting.

“I hope the young people of our community will be able to bring their children and grandchildren and so on, to watch the tree grow for the next 100 years and beyond,” said Mayor Chris Pieper.

The tree originally came from the Ministry of Forests.

“It is from a rare

population of that tree from this region,” said Wayne Samland, with ASET. “The trees can live to be very old with documented cases of 600-year-old trees in existence. They can grow 25 to 30 metres tall.”

ASET provides bursaries to students choosing post-secondary environmental studies.

“We have awarded about 12 $1,000 bursaries to date,” said Dave Derbowka, with the society.

ASET is always

“It will be a fun afternoon with the auction proceeding just like on the Storage Wars television show, and improving smiles and creating new ones is always a worthwhile effort,” said auctioneer Kevin Rothwell.

The CDAC will have a silent auction and storage locker full of donated items that will be auctioned off, with the proceeds assisting the program.

The flying club will hold a lunch-time barbecue and also have a storage locker.

Registration starts at 11 a.m. and guitarist Chris Madsen will entertain until the auction starts at 1 p.m.

“Whether or not you intend to bid, come out and join the fun, watch the action, enjoy the barbecue and support a very worthwhile cause” said Ariel Tyk Stor-it Place owner.

“This is a charity event, with proceeds from the charity lockers, the barbecue and the $2 admission fee being used to support local families and individuals through the CDAC urgent dental care program and the VFC Christmas family initiative.”

The Stor-it Place is located at 2504 43rd St. In its first year, the Community Dental Access Centre assisted 900 patients that couldn’t afford dental coverage.

Working with the North Okanagan Youth and Family Services Society) the Vernon Flying Club helps bring Christmas to families who do not have the means to celebrate the season.

Vipers climbing Interior ladder Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Vipers started October in the B.C. Hockey’s Interior Division cellar.

But with six wins in their last seven games, they are one point from knocking on the penthouse door.

Vernon, now 9-5-1-2 (7-3 in their last 10), capped a three-game weekend road swing by stuffing the Alberni Valley Bulldogs 7-4 Sunday at Weyerhaeuser Arena. The Snakes fell 3-0 to the Nanaimo Clippers (7-7) Saturday at Frank Crane Arena.

The Vipers visit the first-place Penticton Vees (10-3-1-1) Friday at South Okanagan Events Centre before hosting the Merritt Centennials (9-7-1) Saturday at Kal Tire Place.

“We’ve been climbing, even with some key guys out,” said Vipers’ head coach Jason Williamson. “The guys have been finding ways to win hockey games.”

Sunday’s rebound effort was highlighted by a first-star, hat-trick performance from Mike McNicholas (5th, 6th, 7th goals).

The offensive outburst from the Manhattan Beach, Calif. product couldn’t come at a better time as leading scorer Mason Blacklock is expected to miss at least a week with a lower-body injury.

Blacklock, third in the BCHL with 15-9-

24 in 17 games, will also miss the Team Canada West selection camp for the World Junior A Challenge.

“We just gotta lean on some other guys to put up goals,” said Michael Statchuk, a second-year d-man who pocketed an emptynetter against Alberni (1-13-2-1) for his first-ever BCHL goal in 73 career games.

“It’s not pretty but it counts. It feels like a weight’s been lifted off my shoulders.”

Added Williamson: “He’s been really pressing, so now he can just relax that he’s got one in the column.”

Vernon’s Demico Hannoun (6th) and Alberni’s Justin Georgeson (2nd, shorthanded) swapped first-period singles before TJ Dumonceaux (1st) and McNicholas put the Vipers ahead by two 12:50 in the second frame.

The Dawgs’ Tryg Strand (6th) cut the lead to one, but McNicholas and Brendan Persley (3rd), collecting the winner with 43 seconds left in period two, gave Vernon a comfortable lead heading into the final frame.

Dumonceaux appeared to score the Snakes’ sixth goal early in the third period, but after conferring with the linesmen, referees Shane Alyward and Mark Pearce waved it off.

The Vernon Magnums brushed back the Kamloops Broncos 16-6 in Southern Interior Junior Bantam Football Conference action Sunday at Grahame Park.

The Broncos came out swinging and scored on the first play of the game with a trick play.

The Magnums sputtered for a while but were resilient in putting together a 70-yard scoring drive shortly after, led by some good running by Riley Macgillivray on the outside.

Solid defence was turned in by both 2-7 sides with Tristin Baker recording five tackles and one interception and Liam Alder and Garret Black-Thomas crushing the Bronco quarterback several times to keep things tight the rest of the

$ ,

first half.

The Magnums went to work in the third quarter, pinning the Broncos in their own end for the rest of the game while giving great field position to their offence.

Magnum quarterback Dylan Huber marched the ball down and capped it with a 30-yard pass to Isaac Olson for a touchdown. Hubert converted his second extra point of the game.

“Our defence is getting the job done, and as a team, we are peaking at just the right time,” said 2012 coach of the year Terry Winstanley.

The Magnums hope to extend their win streak to three games when they visit the Salmon Arm Colts (6-3) Sunday.

Salmon Arm bowed 40-8 to the Kelowna Lions (9-0) Sunday.

Knights stumble against red-hot Chiefs Morning Star Staff

For the second straight game, a mini-meltdown cost the North Okanagan Knights a pair of Kootenay International Junior Hockey League points.

After playing a rock-solid opening 20 minutes, the Knights surrendered three goals in a three-minute span early in period two en route to a 6-4 loss to the Kelowna Chiefs Sunday afternoon at Nor-Val Sports Centre.

“It was almost exactly like the Castlegar game (5-2 loss Friday night),” said Knights’ head coach Shawn Webb. “We played so stellar in the first period and were flat in the second.”

Jagger Bowles, Ryan Baim and Nicholas Gnazdowsky victimized Knights’ netminder Zach Dyment in the three-goal barrage.

Dyment was pulled in favour of Mitch Profeit after allowing four goals on 11 shots. Profeit had 20 stops in relief.

Anthony Ruggiero, crashing the net for his third goal, and captain TJ Christensen, with his first as a Knight, gave the 7-5-0-1 Knights a 2-1 lead after they outshot Kelowna 22-5 in the first period (51-33 overall). Baim answered for Kelowna (10-3-0-1), winners of five straight.

Logan Mostat (4th) pulled North Okanagan within one with 8:21 left in the second period.

Dylan Jamieson (8th) and KIJHL scoring leader Nick Josephs (empty-netter), who has 16-16-32 in 16 games, converted for the Chiefs in the third period. Logan Geefs (2nd, powerplay) completed the Knights’ offence.

“When you’re looking at the big picture, we’re close to making some noise in this league,” said Webb. “We’re five minutes away from being a very good hockey team.

“Our young defence has bought into moving the puck and not handling it, and it’s making a difference.”

Webb signed Kamloops Storm castoff Blake Culbert, a 20-year-old centreman who went pointless in seven games this season. The Kelowna product was a point-a-game player (9-2938 in 37 games) last year with the Storm.

The signing comes at a good time for the Knights as veteran forward Tanner Burns is expected to miss time dealing with a back problem.

“He just wasn’t getting the playing time he wanted,” said Webb.

“He got his release and we quickly scooped him up. He’s a real good powerplay quarterback and he’s good on the draw.”

The Knights, who have lost four straight games, host the league-leading Nelson Leafs (10-0-1-1) Friday night at Nor-Val, followed by the 100 Mile House Wranglers (6-7-0-1) Saturday.

Clippers Argue Vernon attack Continued from A30

Alberni responded with goals 20 seconds apart by Hunter Stewart (3rd) and Scott Clark (1st) to make it a one-goal game.

“They shot two at the net that were rocket snipes that you couldn’t do again,” said Williamson. “Five-four game, but we hold on.”

McNicholas’ third snipe was an empty-netter.

Netminder Michael Stiliadis recorded 26 saves to win his Viper debut. Connor LaCouvee had 29 stops for Alberni.

“He did his job and gave us a chance to win,” said Williamson, of Stiliadis, who he plucked from the OJHL Georgetown Raiders.

“He looked nervous early, but settled in after that.”

Nanaimo keeper Jayson Argue recorded 25 saves for his second shutout Saturday.

Scoreless after two period, Mike Vandekamp’s Clippers posted goals nine seconds apart early in the third period. Bo Brauer (6th), from Vernon’s Spencer Hewson and Nicholas Gushue, had the first. Eric Margo (1st) scored off the ensuing faceoff to put the Vipers on their heels.

Brendan Taylor (6th) capped the scoring with a shorthanded empty-netter with 22 seconds left in regulation.

“We were just sluggish,” said Williamson. “We were uncharacteristic that game.”

The Clips survived some penalty trouble in the first period and then, in the second period, saw that they were able to take the game to the Vipers five-on-five.

“We started the game with a belief in ourselves and I think that’s a big step for us,” said Vandekamp. “The mentality was very good.

“We wanted to stay on the attack. We’re not real believers in sitting back and trying to protect.”

Meanwhile, Alex Gillies scored the winner, his league-leading 17th snipe, with 3:34 to play as the Salmon Arm SilverBacks bounced the Coquitlam Express 4-3 Saturday night at the Shaw Centre.

The Gorillas are 8-6-1-1.

SNAKE BITES: Former Viper Rob Short, now playing minor pro with the Louisiana Ice Gators of the SPHL, was in an accidental collision in practice last week and suffered multiple fractures to his spine and neck, as well as a dislocation to his spine and neck. Short, the first-ever Viper to have his number (No. 20) retired, underwent an eight-hour surgery last Thursday to repair his spine. He was released from hospital Tuesday, and his surgeons and specialists are hopeful he will make a full recovery. “I am exceptionally lucky to not have been paralyzed,” Short said on his Facebook page...Vernon captain Ryan Renz, who has missed the last 14 games to injury, could return to action this weekend.

Panthers tame Wild Morning Star Staff

Starting tailback Zac Kronbauer converted his only two carries of the day into touchdowns (40 and 65 yards) as the VSS Panthers smothered the Mt. Baker Wild 48-6 in high school football play Saturday in Cranbrook.

Quarterback John Garvie was 8-for-10 for 242 yards with two touchdowns (17 and 50 yards) as the Panthers scored on all five of their first-half possessions.

“Our passing John Garvie game continued to improve this week and we were able to get receivers open downfield and in shallow routes,” said Panther head coach Sean Smith.

“John is Zac Kronbauer getting better and more confident each week which makes us more difficult to defend. Andy (Hladik) made an outstanding catch on his

touchdown (50 yards) and Karson (Patommel) hauled one in from 17 yards out.”

Hladik finished with three catches for 115 yards, while Patommel racked up 72 yards on three receptions.

Tailback Liam Semeniuk scored touchdowns in the first (17 yards) and second (one yard) quarters to help the Panthers. He put up 21 yards on four touches.

“It was great to get Liam a couple of opportunities to score. He has had three previous touchdowns called back on penalties, so we were happy to see him finally have one count.”

Kyle Ryder scored on a 15-yard reverse pass to round out the scoring in the fourth quarter.

Defensively, Justin Haverkamp provided three tackles, while Ben Hladik recorded one tackle, two sacks and one fumble recovery.

Mitchell Pepper pocketed two tackles and one pick, while Carson Lebrecque and Yager Krenz each registered two tackles. Tyler Riva had one sack and one fumble recovery, while Zack Hyer earned one tackle and one sack.

The Panthers take on the Valleyview Vikings in league play Friday in Kamloops.

“Valleyview is undefeated in league and boasts a big, strong, athletic lineup,” said Smith. “This game will be a huge test to see where we fit in this year. There are no more easy games on our schedule – so from here on out we have to be on top of our game.”

Gold Rush in Calgary Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Rush jumpstarted their Tween A ringette tournament season in style, grabbing gold at the Lonnie Krahn tourney last weekend in Calgary.

Aly Carter collected the OT winner as the Rush shaded the Bow View Velocity of Calgary 4-3 in the championship game.

The Rush, coached by Warren Carter and assistants Ron Racine and Wanda Vanderveen, got offence from Courtney Bacon (from Carter), Emma Carter (from Kalen Webster) and Alyssa Racine (from Vanderveen).

Caenen Wisse was solid in net all weekend, Abby Williamson, and Hailey Quiring were terrific up front, and Evan Koshure, Emily Williams and Maddie Fox played outstanding defence.

Emma Carter, Bacon and Racine each pocketed a deuce, and Koshure netted a single, as Vernon grounded the Calgary NW Avenge 7-3 to open the tourney. Racine (2), Williamson (2), Aly Carter, Vanderveen and Bacon earned assists.

The Rush fell 12-5 to Bow View in their second game, offence supplied by Bacon, Emma Carter, Koshure, Racine and Williams. Racine, Aly Carter and Abby Williamson had helpers.

Racine exploded for all four goals as Vernon rebounded with a 4-3 win over Calgary East. Assists went to Webster, Koshure, Quiring and Emma Carter.

The Vernon Junior B Uprising earned an opening weekend split, starting with a 6-2 loss to the host Shuswap U16s Saturday at the Playdays tourney in Salmon Arm. Darian Newman set up Anastasia Pelletier for Vernon’s first tally, the second scored by Amy Parsons, assisted by Marlee DeBoer.

Parsons collected a pair to give the Uprising a 3-2 win over the Thompson Okanagan Tween AA team.

Rebecca VanEyck, assisted by Deboer, completed Vernon’s offence in front of a solid Maddy Johnson.

Emma Lochhead sniped a deuce as Vernon DCT Chambers doubled the Kelowna Jr. Chiefs 4-2 in Petite play Sunday at Playdays.

Sierra Lochhead and Julie Francis chipped in with a goal apiece, while Chayse Krause, Ashly Shwaluk and Liam Van Wyk helped out with assists.

The DCT crew got non-stop hustle from Amy Demetrick and Mackenzie Gilman, and Georgia Lannon was a workhorse on defence in front of Brooklyn Ashby, who made some excellent saves.

It was a preview for their first-round game at the Pac West Provincial Women’s Soccer Championships and the UBC Okanagan Heat and Quest Kermodes of Squamish battled to a scoreless draw Sunday at Nonis Field.

“Today was a good chance to change our strategy a bit, push a little bit harder at times, and it worked for the most part,” noted Heat Player of the Game Kirsten Dodds (forward, 3rd year, Vernon).

“We were missing a couple of key players today and the players that stepped in did great, but I think it’ll be a different story when we are at full force (this weekend).”

The teams meet Saturday, noon, at Merle Logan Field in Nanaimo. The Langara Falcons of Vancouver and Thompson Rivers WolfPack of Kamloops meet in the other semifinal. The title game goes Sunday.

Neither team was without their chances. In the 11th minute, Dodds cracked a shot off a scramble in the Kermodes’ box, but Quest keeper Taylor Shantz (2nd year, Kamloops) made a fabulous save to keep the match scoreless.

In the second half, the Kermodes upped the pressure on the Heat, starting with an early goal scoring opportunity by midfielder Brianna Powrie (3rd year, Kamloops).

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder GUESSES ARE NOT OFTEN GUESSES In “The Devil’s Dictionary,” Ambrose Bierce defined “prescription” as a physician’s guess at what will best prolong the situation with least harm to the patient.

At the bridge table, the prescription for success is trying not to have to guess what to do, but what will have mathematically the best chance to succeed.

In this deal, South is in four spades. West leads the club queen. Since East is marked with the club ace, declarer plays low from the board at tricks one and two, but still loses the first three tricks. East then shifts to the spade six. After drawing trumps, how should declarer

continue?

South opened three spades, showing a respectable suit, some 6-10 high-card points and about seven winners. Here, North would have done well to respond three no-trump, but if South’s suit needed establishing, that contract could have gone down several tricks. Raising to four spades was “normal.”

South has only nine winners: seven spades, one heart and one diamond.

At first glance, it looks as though he needs one of the red-suit finesses to work.

But which one should he take? It seems to be a pure guess. However, he can improve his odds slightly.

Declarer should play a diamond to dummy’s ace,

ruff a low diamond in his hand, return to dummy with a trump, and ruff another diamond. Here, the king drops, establishing dummy’s queen and allowing South to claim. But if the diamond king is still out there somewhere, declarer cashes the rest of his trumps, planning to take the heart finesse at trick 12.

ANSELL, KAREN ANNE

November 27, 1960 – October 18, 2013 Karen Ansell passed away on October 18, 2013 at the age of 52 after a brief but courageous struggle with cancer. She is survived by her loving husband, Tim Ansell; daughter Hillary Ansell of Kelowna; son Geoffrey Ansell of Kelowna; brother Peter (Sandra) Goodall of Summerland; sisters Janet Goodall and Wendy Goodall, both of Vernon; and her mother, Beryl Goodall of Vernon. She is sadly predeceased by her father, Geoffrey Goodall. Karen was the kind of woman who left an impression on all those who met her. Her smile was dazzling, her laugh was infectious and, “Oh, that naturally curly hair!” If you needed someone to landscape your garden, choose the perfect paint colour or purge your walk-in closet she was the woman for the job.

In her younger years Karen took full advantage of all life had to offer in the Okanagan. As a teenager she swam, sailed, and canoed and when she wasn’t on the water she was horseback riding or skiing. In her later years Karen even took up motorcycle riding, going on Harley adventures with her husband, Tim and their friends.

Professionally, Karen chose to pursue a career in nursing.

During this time she earned a reputation amongst her coworkers as a caregiver of great skill and deep compassion. Married in 1991 to Tim Ansell, Karen settled in Kelowna and turned her energies towards raising a family and pursuing her many interests including gardening, home decorating and crafts, just to name a few. Karen had an uncanny gift for being able to spot a good buy in any second hand store she entered.

Many of those close to her became the happy beneficiaries of her thrift store finds. We, her family and friends, are beyond heartbroken by the loss of this generous, energetic and complex woman. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. We would like to thank the dedicated nurses and doctors of KGH, the Cancer Clinic and Kelowna Hospice for the care and support they gave Karen and the family.

A Memorial Service will be held on Sunday, October 27, 2013 at 1:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, with Rev. Penny Denner and Rev. Gary Swabey officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations in Karen’s memory may be made to Cystic Fibrosis Canada, 601 - 2221 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON M4S 2B4, or Central Okanagan Hospice Association, 1456 St. Paul St., Kelowna, BC V1Y 2E6.

Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com 250-860-7077.

Safety critical

T

he federal B.C. Conservative caucus, twice a year, hosts stakeholder meetings to speak with British Columbians on issues and projects that are impacting our province.

We hosted our fall 2013 meeting in Westside in September and at those meetings, we heard a dozen presentations.

One of the presenters was a representative from the Chamber of Shipping of B.C., captain Steven Brown.

Captain Brown’s comments were focused on the chamber’s communications initiative to educate Canadians on the safety measures and success of shipping safety Colin Mayes worldwide.

Here are a few facts that I think you need to be aware of. First, marine pilotage in B.C. is comprised of around 100 pilots and has an accident free record of 99.98 per cent out of more than 12,000 assignments per year.

Second, in the 1970s, around 500 oil spills were reported, and as a result, new regulations and double-hulled oil tanker specifications have eliminated oil spills to zero in 2012.

Third, in 2012, the largest tanker port in the world was Singapore which handled 22,230 tanker calls. Houston, Texas has 4,650, Los Angeles/Long Beach is at 1,311 and Vancouver is at 166. Fourth, the Douglas Channel at its narrowest point is around 1,500 meters wide. A large oil tanker is only 60 meters wide, plus the draft clearance in the strait is 10 times safety standard levels.

Finally in B.C., we are fortunate in having two world-class tug operations covering major traffic areas of our coastline, and the shipping lanes off the B.C. coast are determined by the response time that it would take a tug to reach a ship that had lost engine power relative to the time the ship might be grounded.

I should note that 80 per cent of the crude oil in the world is transported by oil tankers.

New GPS technology, better ship design, and better safety procedures have eliminated much of the risk related to marine transport. You can find more info at www.safeshippingbc.ca.

I give you this information so you will know that whatever the Enbridge Northern Gateway or the Kinder Morgan TransMountain expansion project environmental review decisions might be, these facts will give you some comfort if the decision is to proceed.

Support brewed up for cancer foundation Morning Star Staff

Blenz is serving up support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Blenz Coffee and the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation’s B.C. region (CBCF) have launched a pink coffee cup campaign to raise funds and awareness for prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care during Breast Cancer awareness Month.

Throughout October and across all 62 Blenz cafes in B.C., including in Vernon, the traditional yellow to-go cups will be replaced with a pink version for all hot beverages in support of CBCF. The pink cups feature a QR code that customers can scan to make a contribution online or they can drop change into CBCF donation boxes on the counters inside Blenz stores.

Blenz is matching customer donations up to $2,500 throughout the campaign.

According to Mark West, general manager of Blenz, the company wanted to get involved to show support and fundraise for a cause that has, at one time or another, impacted all of us.

“As a communityminded business, we want to give back and help out in any way we can, especially to support organizations like CBCF that are doing amazing work. We hope people will get on board with this campaign by making a donation either online or in one of our stores so we can exceed our $5,000 fundraising goal.”

Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer diagnosed in Canadian women, representing 26 per cent of all newly diagnosed cases.

In 2012, an estimated 22,700 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast can-

cer and about 5,100 will die from it. Since 1986 however, death rates among women have

fallen by almost 40 per cent.

Today in B.C., 91.8 per cent of women diag-

nosed with breast cancer survive the disease for five years or longerthe highest survival rate

in Canada.

To learn more about the work being done by CBCF or to get involved

in Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October, visit www. cbcf.org.
