Commercial break-ins continue The rash of Vernon commercial break-ins continues. Vernon RCMP responded to two alarms 90 minutes apart Monday morning. That brings to five the number of local businesses that have been hit in the past three weekends.
Shortly before 5 a.m. Monday, an alarm went off at a business in the 1000 block of Waddington Drive. “Members attended and located a hole cut in the fence, and 11 Bridgestone Blizzak tires scattered outside the fence,” said Vernon RCMP Cpl. Gerry Kovacs. The suspect or suspects had fled
the scene prior to police arrival. It was unknown Monday morning if any tires had been stolen. Later, at 6:20 a.m., another commercial break-and-enter was reported in the 4700 block of 29th Street after a resident of the building reported hearing the sound of a door being kicked in, and called police.

“The resident went downstairs as the suspects fled in a vehicle, but, unfortunately, no description was obtained,” said Kovacs. The suspects had kicked in the front door and stole approximately $30-to-$40 in loonies and toonies. Vernon RCMP Forensic Identification Section was called to the scene and is assisting with the

investigation. Kovacs said the RCMP are investigating the possibility that both break-ins Monday are connected. Anyone with any information on either crime is asked to call the Vernon RCMP at 250-545-7171, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

Police urge safety for Halloween
The GreaT PumPkin

Alistair Quinn, five, and Kalen Quinn, three, stretch to reach the top of the 506-pound Dill’s Atlantic giant pumpkin Saturday at the 13th annual Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce Harvest Pumpkin Festival at the IPE grounds.
Ve r n o n - N o r t h Okanagan RCMP officers on duty Thursday will be in their regular uniform. They are not Halloween costumes. As they do every year, the local detachment along with its rural members will maintain a steady presence on Halloween. “We plan for it every year,” said Cpl. Gerry Kovacs. “We always have extra officers on duty, and we plan to maintain our visibility on the streets.” Police are asking for everybody to use caution so that it is a safe and fun evening for all, particularly with the possibility of some precipitation in the weather forecast for Thursday night. “Be safe, be seen, and light yourself up especially if it’s a wet, cloudy night. If that’s the case, it will really be dark,” said Kovacs. “Carry flashlights, and make sure you are seen. I can’t say enough about that.” Police recommend an adult walking around the neighbourhoods with the kids. Parents should also check the candy thoroughly when the kids
are finished trick-ortreating. As the popular night falls mid-week, some revelers got a head start hosting parties over the weekend. “We’re hoping next weekend is not a continuation of this weekend,” said Kovacs in reference to Halloween parties. “We know some people have already had them, we noticed a lot around town. “Maybe the parties will get spread between the two weekends. That’s good for us as opposed to having all of the parties on one weekend.” Halloween festivities in Vernon commence in the afternoon. The Downtown Vernon Association’s Halloween Treat Trail runs from 3 to 5 p.m. for kids 12 and under. Visit participating downtown businesses in costume and receive a Halloween
Index
treat. Candy will not be available before 3 p.m. or after 5 p.m. For those who want to be inside looking for treats, head to the Village Green Centre for the Halloween Trick or Treat Trail, also from 3 to 5 p.m. The BX Swan Lake Fire Department will host fireworks at its location on Silver Star Road. Concession opens at 6 p.m. with the big, raging bonfire being lit at 6:30 p.m. Fireworks start at 8 p.m. In Coldstream, the volunteer fire department will host fireworks at 8 p.m. at Kal Beach. Hot chocolate and a bonfire will also be available. There are no fireworks in Okanagan Landing this year, as the annual event usually held at Marshall Field has been cancelled.

Vernon firefighters battled two structure fires overnight Friday, including this one at a duplex in the 3700 block of Commonage Crescent which destroyed one of the units.
Kitchen fires keep crews busy roger knox Morning Star Staff
Two fires in six hours kept Vernon Fire Rescue Services crews busy on the weekend. Firefighters did a great job to make sure a blaze on one side of a duplex in the 3700 block of Commonage Crescent did not do much damage to the neighbouring home. The fire was reported at 3:22 a.m. “We got a call of smoke and flames showing from a house and when firefighters arrived, they found a structure fire on one side of a duplex,” said deputy fire chief Jack Blair Monday. “There were heavy flames showing out the roof at the front of the building. “The guys were able to get a large volume of water in through the front of the home which knocked the fire down.” Crews began demolition and entered the building to do a primary search and further fire suppression. “Fortunately, there was minimal spread to the unit next door and minimal damage,” said Blair. There was extensive damage to the top half of
the duplex on fire. Both units were evacuated. Emergency social services personnel were on hand to deal with the family whose unit was destroyed. The family was given temporary accommodation for three nights. Blair said the fire appeared to have started in the kitchen area of the home, and was not believed to be suspicious in nature. Six hours earlier, firefighters had been dealing with another kitchen fire, this one at a single-family home in the 4100 block of 20th Street. “The people with the home were there,” said Blair. “It looks like while they had their backs turned, a pot took off on them and caught fire, as did the cabinetry above the stove. “There was heavy smoke coming from the front of the building again. Our guys went inside and found heavy smoke and a small flame in the kitchen area, then knocked it down.” The family will be displaced from their home for a week or so as a restoration firm fixes up the residence. There were no injuries in either fire.

A Vernon councillor is wondering if the city can do something to prevent accidents like this one along a portion of Okanagan Landing Road. The two occupants did not report any injuries following the rollover Friday night.
Accident location a concern roger knox Morning Star Staff
A pair of occupants in a pickup escaped injury after the vehicle rolled in Okanagan Landing just after 9:30 p.m. Friday. Police responded to a singlevehicle accident in the 7900 block of Okanagan Landing Road. Upon arrival, officers found a 2006 black Dodge lying on its roof in the middle of the road. “The driver of the vehicle, a 21-year-old Coldstream resident, was checked for sobriety and did
not pass a roadside screening test,” said Vernon RCMP Cpl. Gerry Kovacs. The driver was issued a 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibition, and his truck was impounded for 90 days. Kovacs said there were two occupants in the vehicle at the time of the accident, but no injuries were reported. The matter came up at Vernon council Monday afternoon, as Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe said she is the one who called 911 as

Friday, Christy Clark was asked by the media if the provincial government would force amalgamation between Vernon, Coldstream and the two electoral areas. “No, we will not,” she said in response. The citizen-based Society for the Future Governance of Greater Vernon is circulating a petition that asks local and provincial authorities to develop a plan to combine Vernon, Coldstream and Areas B and C into a single entity. “This is a community issue. Those decisions need to come from the bottom up,” said Clark. “I am not interested in forcing a decision from the top down.” Clark added that she has discussed the current petition campaign with Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster. Foster recently stated that any demands for a governance restructuring study or a referendum must come from local municipal leaders. On Friday, he reiterated the process that must be followed. “We do not force amalgamation,” said Foster, adding that it is up to residents to provide input to their municipal councils and regional directors on the issue. “If there is a large groundswell of support for this, it will be important for local government to take it seriously.” The society hopes to collect 4,000 names by Thursday.

News City debates noise level solution roger knox Morning Star Staff
Vernon council continues to sound off about downtown noise levels. Following a report from city bylaws manager Clint Kanester, council directed administration to prepare and bring forward a report outlining the pros and cons of moving the city’s noise regulations from a qualitative set to a quantitative set. The city’s current Good Neighbour bylaw is what is known as a qualitative bylaw in which problem noise is regulated subjectively. If the city goes to a quantitative bylaw, it would mean noise decibel levels are set Clint Kanester and would have to be exceeded for a violation to occur. Staff has been working on the situation since Journey Inn owner Ed Buie, as a delegation to council, asked council to seek and define allowable noise levels in the downtown core. “We have been doing some work with regards to Mr. Buie’s complaints over the last couple of years,” said Kanester. “Council will have to make a decision if we’re looking to change from one form of bylaw to another.”
Pair nabbed in Prairie bust same two Kelowna residents meet with two men at a Saskatoon hotel. While the Kelowna residents left the city, officers arrested the two men from Vernon as they left the hotel allegedly in possession of the packaged marijuana. Jason Fedirchuk, 30, and James Rinsma, 45, were both charged with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. Each made their first appearance in Saskatoon Provincial Court Monday. Both were released from custody and both had their matters adjourned until November, Fedirchuk on Nov. 5 and Rinsma on Nov. 26.

Two Vernon men are facing drug charges after an arrest in a Saskatoon hotel. An RCMP roving traffic unit informed Saskatoon police on Oct. 24 of a stop that had been conducted on a highway near Vanscoy. Two Kelowna men were inside the vehicle where an RCMP officer found almost 13 pounds of marijuana divided into 26 packages. A man in the vehicle produced a licence to be in possession of medical marijuana, so the two were permitted to continue to Saskatoon. It was members of the Saskatoon Police Service who witnessed the
Vehicle fire deemed suspicious roger knox Morning Star Staff
Vernon RCMP are treating an early-morning vehicle fire Monday as suspicious. Officers were sent to a vehicle fire in the 3000 block of 39A Street shortly after 4 a.m. Monday. The vehicle, a 1997 Volkswagen GTI, was completely destroyed. “The registered owner said there was no insurance on the vehicle as he had just purchased it for use in the winter and had not insured it yet,” said Vernon RCMP Cpl. Gerry Kovacs. “The vehicle was delivered to the home and it had not been
driven, so it’s suspicious. Vehicles don’t usually just spontaneously combust.” Anyone with any

Coun. Juliette Cunningham said Buie was seeking a blend of qualitative and quantitative bylaws which is done in other jurisdictions. Kanester said it would be difficult to have both. “You end up going back into the reasonableness of the complaint which is what we do now,” he said. In his two-page report to council, Kanester said bylaw staff and the City of Vernon RCMP Safe Communities Unit would be meeting with Buie and other affected parties to discuss their concerns. He also stated that the bylaw division bought a decibel reader in late 2012 and conducted some base readings for the downtown core (seven separate readings at different times up until midnight). Noise levels were not in excess of the Vancouver nightclub noise standard, which the city used in its tests. Coun. Catherine Lord suggested the city wait until the results of more tests and the meeting with Buie is held before moving ahead. “I’d like to see these actions done first, then maybe Clint can come back with an update so we know the results of those,” said Lord. Council voted in favour of the staff recommendation to have administration prepare a report on changing the bylaw. Lord was opposed.

Senate scandal spreads damage

Debate should aim higher
I
t’s not unusual for residents to turn to municipal or regional district politicians when they believe more senior levels of government are indifferent. After all, civic leaders are closer to home, more approachable and may have more of a sense of what is going on in their communities. But the reality is that expectations may exceed the ability of local officials to respond. Case in point is the pressure of some citizens on the Regional District of North Okanagan to take a formal stand against genetically modified crops, such as corn. As part of that pressure, the RDNO board instructed its agricultural advisory committee to review the controversial issue and determine what action, if any, could be taken. It was decided recently, though, that any direction must come from the regional board itself. Richard Rolke “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 chairperson and BX-Silver Star director. Pitching the debate back to the regional board wasn’t unanimous among committee members, but Macnabb insists it’s a reasonable move. “Some people want a complete ban on GMO crops but we don’t have the authority to do that,” he said. Even if RDNO did try and ban or restrict genetically modified organisms, the rule wouldn’t stand as policies regarding what foods can enter the market are made by the federal government. It is also Ottawa that dictates all research and approvals into food safety. The provincial government also plays a critical role when it comes to agriculture within B.C.

The bottom line is that municipalities and regional districts cannot ban GMOs within their boundaries. All that can be done is to express reservations about GMOs and their potential impact on food supply and farm economies. And such motherhood statements have already occurred in Cherryville and Lumby where the official community plan is being amended to specifically reference GMOs. “We are not saying GMOs are good or bad. We are just trying to reflect the community’s vision,” said Eugene Foisy, Cherryville director, in a June interview. Foisy went on to say that the regional district does not have the authority to ban farmers from using genetically engineered crops. Now that the agricultural advisory committee is sitting on the sidelines, anti-GMO advocates will turn their attention towards the main RDNO board and demand that their interests be represented. And these individuals deserve some praise, as the long-term impacts of genetically modified organisms on humans and the environment are unknown. But those opposed to GMOs are barking up the wrong tree. There is nothing formal the regional district can do to stop genetic modification in the North Okanagan no more than it can prevent the wind or birds from blowing seeds around. All our local leaders can do is join the chorus of opponents, but the real force is with bureaucrats and politicians in Ottawa and Victoria. The anti-GMO crowd must also remember that RDNO also attempts to represent the broad interest of the entire community, and there are some residents, including farmers, who see a benefit to genetically engineered agriculture. If the debate over genetic modification is to become meaningful, it needs to shift from the regional district office in Coldstream to those who are in a position to actively get involved. That means taking the conversation to our MLA and MP.
The ongoing Senate scandal has certainly done its share of damage — to the prime minister, the Conservative Party, the institution of the Senate and politicians in general. The damage may not spread past that group, but it is significant and it may be lasting. The Senate is certainly at its low point. It has never been popular with Canadians, being seen as a repository for bagmen, party hacks and failed politicians. While a few individual senators have done important and significant work, as a whole the institution does little of lasting importance. Now it has clearly been shown that many senators, and this goes far beyond Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau, have had their hands in the cookie jar. Even when they get caught, the Senate and indeed the prime minister do little or nothing to change the culture of entitlement, which is widespread through the federal government. The prime minister first took office in 2006 on a pledge to reform the Senate. It is now clear he has no idea of how to do so. A court decision in Quebec has basically ruled all his reform ideas cannot be implemented, and the court decision implies that the Senate will never be abolished, unless most provinces agree. Even if, in the court of public opinion, Stephen Harper is cleared of direct knowledge of off-the-books payments to senators, the public won’t soon forget that he appointed these three senators, and that he campaigned vigorously on Senate reform. As for the Conservative Party, in the next election its fortunes are totally tied to Harper. If he falters, so does the party. It has no plan B. Black Press

Amalgamation vote raises questions
Y
You were all elected to govern; staying silent is not an acceptable option. Michael tindall the 'a' Word Whenever I hear the word amalgamation I think of somewhere I lived many years ago while attending university and wonder why it has never happened there. I refer to Victoria, Saanich, Oak Bay, Esquimalt and environs. And while we're at it how about Greater Vancouver or all of the Fraser Valley communities? Think of the dollars that could be saved in these larger metropolitan areas if they amalgamated. I am not sure who the members are of the group who want to see Vernon, Coldstream and outside areas combine under one government structure but I do know that I don't want to see my taxes go up because the City of Vernon cannot rein in its spending habits. dan Behuniak hearing the farMers Bill is absolutely right that farmers need to be heard, not just political leaders of parties that have opposing agendas.
Morning Star page A7. The article says support is growing. More than 2,000 signatures. From where? Break it down for us. How many from Coldstream, areas B and C? How many from Vernon?
However, allow me just a few lines to clarify some of the key points made in the article. What Bill describes as the "much slower process of natural selection" bears no resemblance to what chemical companies engage in today. There is no "natural" way to cross-breed animal and plant matter, no matter how much time you give it. The issue is not only about whether such process is natural, but if it is even compatible with what we know about crop management. The sword of natural crop pollination cuts both ways, as farmers who need to keep their crops "organic" because of their customers, cannot because of cross pollination. The current laws even favour these major chemical companies as the onus now falls to the farmer in such a situation to prevent patented strains of plants from being found in his fields, or he may be sued. Do we honestly feel that chemical companies have any concern for the well-being of you and I, if they continue to be profitable and provide dividends to their shareholders?

needs coMe first Regarding Arts in your Oct. 18 letters, though I respect Michelle Loughery, I have to disagree with her opinions. I agree art is important, but don't think each town needs a multimillion dollar facility to display our local talents. Michelle's murals are testament to that. We have many small venues that promote local art, and in many ways they are more quaint and appreciated than a large gallery. A large gallery for the Central Okanagan would be more appreciated and affordable to promote the entire area. We also have locals who want an expanded airport when we have a great international airport half an hour away. As for comparing a gallery to the Performing Arts building, that building is well attended and has an

politicians fall silent I find it interesting so few letters to the editor speak about the proposed municipal governance referendum. And those that do are positive. Perhaps there are no negative letters? The absolute silence from local municipal politicians is interesting as well. Are citizens to assume they would rather continue wasting taxpayers money than ask a simple question about future governance? We must remember that a question is all the Society for the Future Governance of Greater Vernon is asking for, question about future governance models that would accompany the ballot in the 2014 municipal elections. Nobody will be asked to vote in favour of or against unification. The society simply wants to have the question asked so citizens of Greater Vernon can choose how to proceed for the next 10 or 20 years. Interestingly, so do a couple of thousand local citizens who have made the effort to sign the petition to date. So Mayor Sawatzky, Mayor Garlick, Chairman Nicol how about it? What’s your stand on a review?
Thirdly will my taxes go up? Probably. Will my utilities cost more? Will they bring city sewer up BX Road (which is where I live) and make me tie into it at great expense to myself. Possibly. Skip forward to the article in the Oct. 23 edition
And who picked the number 4,000 for the amount of signatures that are needed? Was that pulled from a hat? Give us some percentages of your feedback from the different areas. You also said you wanted clarification from the honorable Eric Foster on his position. He already said in print that the province won’t force amalgamation. We have to do our due diligence first and if there’s enough interest, then talk to the province. That’s not clear enough? You make it sound like your only thought is for the betterment of the citizens of Vernon, Coldstream and areas B and C. And maybe the SFGGV has only our good in mind. Maybe but I doubt it. I may not understand all the dollars and cents stuff that you’re talking about but I do know what I don’t want. Amalgamation. Anyway that’s my feedback. gary dyck BX resident

our Oct. 13 front page headline is ‘Unification’ push gathering steam.' The second paragraph states that the findings thus far of the Society for the Future Governance of Greater Vernon or SFGGV for short is that unification is a better word. That’s all they’ve found out so far? That it’s a better word? And all the feedback has been positive. Really? Not one negative word. I find that hard to believe but be that as it may let me be the first then to offer some other side feedback. Firstly, unification implies unity. On this issue? I don’t think so. From three districts and the city? Nope. Ain't gonna happen. Secondly I recall that there was much disquiet and rumblings after the Landing was amalgamated into the city. Can’t quite recall why but I’ll bet they would still have their own volunteer fire department, which was working quite well as I hear it.

Vehicle safety focus of group initiative roger knox Morning Star Staff
“Six vehicles off the road is a high number.”
A one-day vehicle safety initiative conducted by several groups resulted in six vehicles being taken off the road. The North Okanagan initative was conducted Friday by members of the RCMP, North Okanagan Traffic Services, Integrate Road Safety Units from Vernon and Kelowna, commercial enforcement and WorkSafe B.C. inspectors as well as
— Cpl. Gerry Kovacs provincial conservation officers, and was aimed at all kinds of vehicles. There were 25 private and 62 commercial vehicles inspected. A total of 26 Motor Vehicle Act charges
were levied against private vehicles and seven such vehicles were given notices to fix up defects on the vehicle. A total of 32 commercial vehicle Motor Act charges
were issued and there were 44 notices given. Three vehicles were impounded and six were taken completely off the road, though Vernon RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Gerry Kovacs could not say if the six were solely commercial vehicles that had been removed. “For us to take a vehicle off the road there has to be a significant violation or safety issue,” said Kovacs. “Six vehicles off the road is a high number.”
Vehicles removed by police from the roadway have to go through a process of having the requested work on the vehicle completed. It must then be re-inspected before it’s allowed back on the road. If a vehicle and its owner receive a notice and order, it’s usually for a defect like a broken taillight or a headlight that isn’t working. The owner can still drive the vehicle but has a certain amount of hours in order to get the defect fixed.
They must then show police that the problem has been rectified. The safety initiatives will continue. “The North Okanagan RCMP is committed to safe roads and safe communities,” said Kovacs. “Police would like to remind the motoring public that winter will arrive soon, and to begin adjusting your driving habits and prepare your vehicle for winter driving.”
Lake Country pilot killed Morning Star Staff
A Lake Country pilot has been identified by the B.C. Coroners Service as one of three men who died in a float plane crash on West Cracroft Island, near Port McNeil on Vancouver Island. Kevin Roger Williams, 42, was the pilot of the Air Cab Cessna 185 float plane which crashed into an island in the middle of Potts Lagoon, where it was expected to land, at about 11:45 a.m. Oct. 24. The two passengers on the plane
were Frederick Gerald Cecil Wiley, aged 40, of Merville on Vancouver Island, and Norm Slavik, aged 59, of Surrey. The two had chartered the plane to take them from Port McNeill to a logging operation on West Cracroft Island, a small island on the east side of Robson Bight east of Alert Bay. All three men died on impact. The B.C. Coroners Service, Transportation Safety Board, and WorkSafeBC continue to investigate these deaths.

Composer leaves lasting legacy for young musicians Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
When brothers Vincent and David Li moved to Vernon from Richmond via New York City five years ago, they didn’t expect to find a world renowned composer in their midst – let alone one that would become an integral part of their lives. The boys, now 16 and 14 respectively, have not only become noted musicians themselves, they have composed their own works thanks to their mentor and teacher, Imant Raminsh. “He’s so calm,” says the quieter brother imant raminsh David who, with Vincent, studies violin and theory with the esteemed composer at the Vernon Community Music School. (The boys also study piano at the VCMS with Lucy Feldman.) “Imant likes to work things out. He’s helped our musicality in that it’s not just about hitting all the right notes.” Among the many young Okanagan instrumentalists whom Raminsh, now 70, has mentored over the years as founder and past leader of the Youth Symphony Orchestra of the Okanagan (YSO), the boys join their peers in tipping their bows (and other instruments) to Raminsh at upcoming concerts by the YSO as the orchestra celebrates its 25th anniversary. “It’s a huge honour,” said Vincent, a W.L. Seaton student and past winner of the Our Kids Have Talent competition, who soloed with the YSO two years ago. “Imant started something special with the youth orchestra. It’s special because of the way he ran it, where the youth get to write their own compositions and perform them. That is unique.”

Vernon brothers Vincent, left, and David Li join the Youth symphony orchestra of the okanagan for its fall concert this sunday and its 25th Birthday Bash with the okanagan symphony nov. 17. With the YSO’s baton now passed on to the Okanagan Symphony’s Rosemary Thomson and Dennis Colpits, the orchestra continues to flourish under Raminsh’s vision as will be seen and heard when the first concert takes place Sunday at Trinity United Church. The second concert is a celebratory event with the Okanagan Symphony, where the YSO will perform a piece written specifically for them by Raminsh. The composer, who just returned from Vancouver where he saw his new work based on a Stó:lō Nation legend premiered by vocal ensemble musica intima, says he is happy with the direction the YSO has taken since it moved two years ago under the OSO’s umbrella as part of their outreach and education program. “During the history of the YSO we approached the OSO for a closer association, which I felt would have a mutual benefit,” said Raminsh. “Rosemary had an interest in
youth and Dennis was already sharing duties with me, so I knew I had left the YSO in very capable waters and I’ve kept out of muddying those waters.” In the 23 years of leading the YSO, Raminsh admits there were some rocky patches, where the future of the orchestra was uncertain, but there’s been mostly successes. “We’re happy to have added some relevance to the musical community and for the youth,” he said. “We may not have been the ultimate interpreter of Beethoven’s symphonies, but we have always strived for the highest level and have provided opportunities to young people to study the orchestral literature and solo material as well as compose their own music. That idea was an obvious one to me to provide kids with the opportunity on how a symphony orchestra functions.” In celebrating the YSO’s 25th season, the wheels turned when Thomson asked Raminsh
if he’d compose a piece to celebrate the occasion at the OSO’s performances with the YSO throughout the Okanagan. “We were thinking of a short, festive overture, a celebratory work, so I turned it over in my mind,” said Raminsh, who went back to one of his earlier compositions, a symphony of psalms, and in particular one based on Psalm 150. “It’s a joyful one, with the sound of strings, trumpets, whiz-bangs, and firecrackers,” said Raminsh, adding with a laugh, “It’s better than anything in Harry Potter. Sparks will fly from the end of violin bows.” For the Li brothers, they are looking forward to those sparks and also to another work that is sure to fly when they join the OSO in playing Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture. “I hear we’re going to have canons,” laughed Vincent. “It’s one of my favourites by far and it’s easier to relate to as we all know the song.” The OSO is also inviting back former YSO member and acclaimed violinist Colleen Venables to perform Chausson’s Poème for violin and orchestra. But first the YSO takes centre stage at its fall concert, Sunday at Trinity United Church. The young musicians will perform Mussorgsky’s Polonaise, Borodin’s In the Steppes of Central Asia, Rodrigo’s Fantasia para un gentilhombre (featuring Penticton’s Jonathan Stuchbery on guitar), Fucik’s Entrance of the Gladiators, Vaughan Williams’ English Folk Song Suite, Bernstein’s Westside Story and Williams’ Raiders of the Lost Ark. The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15/adult, $10 student/senior, and $5/child 12 and under from the Vernon Community Music School, YSO musicians or the door. The YSO’s 25th anniversary Birthday Bash with the Okanagan Symphony is Nov. 17 at 7 p.m. at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. Tickets are at the Ticket Seller, 250-549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.
Master jazz artists to prop up some eclectic repertoire Juno nominated jazz musicians, led by drummer Ernesto Cervini, play Vernon Jazz Club Saturday
amanDa moraZain For The Morning Star
The Vernon Jazz Club will be taking flight this Saturday night as Turboprop, featuring Ernesto Cervini, soars into town. Cervini will be joined by wing-men/woman Joel Frahm and Tara Davidson on saxophone, William Carn on trombone, and Adrean Farrugia on piano. The band will be playing standards such as Smile (Charlie Chaplin) and Stompin’ at the Savoy (Edgar Samspon), as well as classical works such as The Engulfed Cathedral (Claude Debussy). A native to Toronto, Cervini began his musical studies in classical piano and clarinet, receiving his performance degree for both instruments at Canada’s Royal Conservatory of Music. From there he decided to focus all of his energy behind the drum kit. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree from the University of Toronto (where he now conducts master classes) and a master’s degree from the Manhattan School of Music. Cervini has shared the stage with legendary jazz musicians such as Joe Lovano, Cleo Laine, Buddy DeFranco, and Ranee Lee to name but a few. He has also opened for star headliners such as Herbie Hancock and Kenny Garrett. In a review of Turboprop’s album, Little Black Bird, All About Jazz wrote: “With talent this big and music this magical, the

Drummer ernesto Cervini leads his band turboprop into the Vernon Jazz Club saturday. only thing little about this album is the title. Cervini is a fiery, imaginative drummer and composer, and he matches wits with saxophonist Frahm and the rest of the group through excellent interplay and deep groove.” Saxophonist Frahm is an alumni of The Manhattan School of Music. His latest album, Don’t Explain, was the number one jazz release for radio play in the U.S. for two weeks in a row according to jazzweek.com. He was recently selected by DownBeat Magazine’s critic poll as a rising star in the category
of tenor saxophone. Another native of Toronto, Davidson has performed at such prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall, the North Sea Jazz Festival in the Netherlands, and the International Jazz Festival in Peru. Her sophomore CD, Code Breaking, featured Juno award winners Mike Murley and David Braid and was nominated for Traditional Jazz Album of the Year for 2007. Davidson is currently on the faculty at York University, Humber College Community Music School, and the National Music Camp of Canada. Carn’s debut release, Other Stories, was nominated for a Juno award for Traditional Jazz Album of the Year. He was also nominated for Trombonist of the Year at the National Jazz Awards from 2004 to 2008. He has worked in the studio and stage with top performers such as Aretha Franklin, Paul Anka, Feist, Sarah Slean, and Janelle Monae. He is a faculty member at the University of Toronto, Humber College, and the National Music Camp. Farrugia has performed on more than 30 albums to date. His album, RICOCHET, was nominated for a Juno for Best Contemporary Jazz Album of the Year. He is another esteemed educator and is on the faculty of York University and Mohawk College of Arts and Technology. He has also conducted workshops and clinics at the universities of Colorado, Toronto, and Western. Turboprop featuring Ernesto Cervini, takes the stage at the Vernon Jazz Club (3000-31st St.) Saturday at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:15.

Mendelssohn’s work as an accomplished artist who painted detailed watercolours of places he visited on his extensive travels, lent a backdrop to the lyrical second movement introduced by the tenderest of piano solos. The quicksilvered scherzo led to the resumption of the theme in the passionate finale. It was splendid and begged two encore pieces. The elegant evening was rounded off with anniversary punch and goodies, animated discussion and a rare opportunity to mingle with the three consummate musicians and personable souls who comprise The Gryphon Trio. They have my vote for yet another return visit. The NOCCA continues with its 60th anniversary season with the Reside Dawson Duo, Nov. 22. Tickets are available at the Ticket Seller in the Performing Arts Centre.

Halloween season. Beethoven composed the trio while staying with Countess Marie von Erdödy in Vienna in 1808 when he was happy and prolific. (His 5th and 6th symphonies were composed during this period.) The Gyphon Trio rendered Beethoven’s work to perfection, in seeming effortlessness, with harmonies so delicately and exactly drawn that each individual instrument often blended into one cohesive composite. Their frolicking calls and counter calls, echoes and answers, with the players listening and watching with trance-like intensity (especially Roman)

between pizzicato strings and staccato piano became phrases and short conversations, reminiscent of holes being punched in piano rolls at varying intervals. Oesterle has a persistent interest in mathematics and science and likens the focus and discipline required to excel in them to those necessary in the arts. Small wonder then that his third icon is Alan Turing, the mathematician whose genius helped Britain crack Germany’s enigma code in the Second World War. Balm was applied to anyone needing it in the second half, with Felix Mendelssohn’s Piano Trio in D Minor. Its theme, played sublimely on cello in the opening, set the tone for the first movement.

enthralled. The second piece, Michael Oesterle’s Centennials, was commissioned last year by the trio and demonstrates their commitment to expand musical education and promote Canadian composers. Centennials pays tribute to three iconic figures who influenced Oesterle’s life. It may have presented a challenge to those whose comfort zone lies more in melody but it stretched the appreciation of others. Oesterle first pays tribute to TV chef Julia Child so evocatively that some who have seen her in action mentally added dialogue to the quirky music. Next, he celebrates Conlon Nancarrow who composed for player piano. Chattered notes

he foyer at the Performing Arts Centre dripped diamonds (10 carat plastic) while another “gem” the size of a softball graced a silver draped stage drenched in classy, rich lighting to celebrate the North Okanagan Community Concert Association’s Diamond Jubilee, Saturday. And what better way to mark the 60 years since Josephine (Joey) Karen spearheaded NOCCA’s intent, to bring acclaimed musicians to Vernon, than invite the Gryphon Trio to return? Audible sighs of pleasure filled the auditorium in appreciation of the music created by this genuine Canadian “gem.” NOCCA’s new president, Paul Maynes, introduced each member of the trio by first name. Jamie Parker (piano) became Jamie while Annalee Patipatanakoon (violin) and her husband Roman Borys (cello) were dubbed Annalee and Roman respectively. Thus, they all became family. “Paul” paid tribute to the larger family of NOCCA volunteers who have contributed to the success of some 300 concerts since the first in October 1953, when Cuban pianist Jorge Bolet brought his own piano to play in a high school gym. Jamie introduced Beethoven’s Piano Trio in D Major by suggesting its subtitle, Ghost, was a mere marketing ploy by an ambitious promoter. Yet its haunting second movement seemed perfectly chosen for this

Dance down by the ‘River’ Morning Star Staff
Among the social recreations available to residents of the Okanagan, square dancing has endured and active dance clubs can be found in all the larger cities. In the North Okanagan, along with a club in Vernon, Enderby boasts its very own group and they’re expanding. Every Friday, the Enderby River Dancers open their doors at 6 p.m. for new square dancer sessions at the Seniors Centre hall, 1101 Highway 97A. “Newcomers to today’s style of square dancing are in for a great experience,” said club president, Bob Byrne of Vernon. “The modernized dance form presents uplifting music ranging from pop to country and show tunes to golden oldies. All ages, families and singles are welcomed in casual attire. “The benefits of learning to square dance are many. For starters, we price it economically yet you get a premium value in terms of a mild aerobic activity that also exercises the mind and brings new friends.” And it’s easy to learn, according to young callerteacher, Allan Peterson of Salmon Arm. “You simply have to walk to the beat of the music — there are no complicated steps,” he said. Peterson said his prime goal is to make the sessions lots of

Square dancers Sharon Boggs (left) and Ken Boyd take a turn on the dance floor. fun but he also strives to make his dancers feel successful. “Through patience, clarity of instruction and lots of review, I can help everyone master the calls,” he said. The square dance calls come from an internationallystandardized list that’s taught in English worldwide. “A square dancer can attend dances in countries like Japan or Germany and participate quite comfortably,” he said. The dance club equally enjoys another dance form called
“round dancing” for which lessons are also offered. It’s choreographed ballroom dancing including two-steps and waltzes, set to a particular piece of music, where couples take direction from a “cuer.” Nobody leads and there are no routines to memorize. The dancers progress in a large circle around the dance floor to each sequence that the cuer announces over the mike. Cueing round dances is the specialty of Peterson’s wife, Laura, who is anxious that newcomers also consider round dance
instruction at the same location on the same night. The River Dancers have already planned a graduation bash for April, where not only their newly-accomplished square dancers can attend but also newcomers from throughout the Okanagan and Shuswap. “Coffee’s always on,” said Byrne. For more information, contact Dianne Peters at 250-8389445 or EnderbyRiverDancers@ yahoo.com or see www. RiverDancers.squaredance.bc.ca
Garden is ready for bed
finally got all my geraniums in the house. I used insecticidal soap on all of them. I still have a few plants in the greenhouse but they can stand a bit of colder temperature. I had planned to do that a lot earlier but my plans always change with the weather. The week of fog set me behind. My body works on solar power. No sun: no work. I started putting my garden to bed for winter. I was to use the rototiller Jocelyne Sewell but I found so many worms in some spots that I turned everything with the fork. I then added lots of compost and shredded leaves and will let nature look after it for winter. In the spring I just have to rake the space and it will be ready for planting. The cold frames are also ready and I will overwinter some of my potted plants in there. The bigger plants go in the greenhouse but it is too small for all of them. As mentioned in my last column, I will be writing about invasive plants. This is taken from the booklet distributed
A GArdener’s diAry
by the Invasive Plant Council of British Columbia. The first one on the list is Baby’s Breath (Gypsophila paniculata). Baby’s breath is a herbaceous perennial plant with delicate white or occasionally pink blooms on bushy flower stalks. Plants flourish in well-drained sandy or gravelly soils. Flower stalks are sought after by florists for dried and fresh flower arrangements, but seeds often continue to develop in arrangements and are easily spread. The flowering stems of a single plant can produce more than 10,000 seeds and these are distributed over long distances when the whole stalk breaks off at ground-level and rolls like a tumbleweed. Infestations quickly spread along roadsides and invade grasslands, reducing forage quality for livestock and wildlife. In the “Grow me instead alternatives” you can find Pearly Everlasting (Anaphalis margaritacea) which is a B.C. native. Zone 3B Filigran Russian Sage (Perovskia atriplicifolia) is a drought-tolerant perennial with a sage-like aroma; it is somewhat deer and rabbit resistant. Zone 4. Mine has reseeded in a few places but very easy to remove. The one in the front yard has never been sampled by the deer. Hewitt’s Double Meadow Rue

(Thalictrum delavayi Hewitt’s Double) Zone 4. Sea Lavender (Limonium latifolium) Zone 4. White Flax (Linum perenne “Diamond” Zone 3. Additional recommendations: Zone 3 Hybrid Yarrow (Achillea millefolium hybrids) zone 3 Fernleaf Yarrow (Achillea filipendula) and Zone 4 German Statice (Goniolimon tataricum). I have been growing the German Statice for about five years. I use it a lot for dried flower arrangements. It is drought-tolerant and deer-resistant. Mine grows in full sun. This is also a plant that you can add to your butterfly garden. My angel trumpet (Brugmansia) will be coming in the house very soon. I had more than 30 blooms in the spring and now I just counted another 25 flowers left on the plant. Quite a show. Most of the leaves are yellow and falling. I will strip the last ones when I bring it in. It will go in a dark cool corner until spring. Also my rosemary plant is in full bloom. Another one to bring in before it gets to -5C. I need a bigger house but my husband tells me it would be easier to cut down on plants. He is not a gardener. For more information: 250-558-4556.

omorrow is Halloween and thousands of kids in our area will be out trick-or-treating, and others of all ages will be attending parties just for the fun of it all. When I was a kid we could hardly wait until we were old enough to go out on our own; but alas, by then we were deemed old enough to take our younger siblings out first. It was a simpler time; a much safer time for Halloween, when people could make homemade candy apples, cookies, popcorn balls, and cupcakes to give away, when we knew most all our neighbours and our parents trusted people more. They still checked our stash, never expecting to find anything dangerous, but it never occurred to them to throw out per-

fectly good food. There was always a huge bonfire at the fair grounds with hot chocolate for everyone, sponsored by the local firemen. It was the perfect place to meet up with our teenage friends before heading off to do mischief at certain teachers’ houses. All in fun, of course. Today I have a couple of last-minute treats you can whip up for the kids’ lunch boxes or for kids’ home parties. Happy Halloween, may you see a ghost or two. ChoColate Spider WebS 6 squares semi-sweet
chocolate (or 6 oz. baking chocolate wafers) 2 cups (100 g) straight pretzels 12 gummy spiders Line 2 baking sheets with wax or parchment paper. In a large bowl, melt chocolate over a pot of simmering water (creating a double boiler). Once chocolate is melted, stir pretzels into chocolate to coat. Using tongs, pick up bunches of coated pretzels and flatten into messy stacks on lined sheets. Make 12 stacks. While chocolate is still warm, dip the bottoms of the gummy spiders into melted chocolate and press onto pretzel stacks to stick. Chill in fridge about 15 minutes to harden chocolate. Serve these sweet tangles the same day you make them to keep the chocolate from turning streaky.
TOPS offers a few Halloween tips Editor’s note: the following is from TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly). While the kids are out enjoying trickor-treating, sitting around the candy bowl at home and avoiding temptation to snack can be difficult. To have a Halloween with less guilt, indulge in a few sweets that aren’t as “sinful” as the traditional favourites. TOPS Club, Inc., the nonprofit weight-loss support organization, offers guidance to a healthier Halloween that is still fun for all. Treat-sized candy can give the impression that “just a little bit won’t hurt,” but when the facts are laid out, there is nothing fun about these “fun-sized” bites. Consider this: 1 serving (1/5 of an 8-oz. package) of candy corn = 150 calories* = 42 minutes of walking
2 Fun Size Snickers bars = 160 calories = 18 minutes of jogging 1 2-oz. package of Skittles = 250 calories = 38 minutes of cycling Part of TOPS’ philosophy is that all foods can fit in your meal plan, in moderation. If you really want something sweet, have it — but also consider healthier options that give you the same satisfaction from regular candy. Help your health by calorie budgeting for the treats. Split a sweet with a friend, push yourself a little harder during your workout, or cut back on something else in your diet for that day. By staying mindful of choices and planning ahead, Halloween candy cravings won’t be so spooky after all. *Calorie counts and calories burned are estimated using www. calorieking.com.

Community gathers to walk for Taylor DORIANNE KOHL Special to The Morning Star
For many people in Armstrong, Oct. 3l will be a time of adorning costumes, wearing extreme makeup, taking on the character of witch, ghoul, pirate, ghost...or assisting children to dress up and gather their goodie bags to go trick-or-treating.
However, for the family of Taylor Van Diest, this date marks an unimaginable tragedy. On Oct. 3l, 2011 Taylor Van Diest, who had recently graduated from Pleasant Valley secondary school, was found brutally beaten near the railroad tracks on Pleasant Valley Road. She died
hours later in Kelowna General Hospital from her injuries. The individual who was arrested and charged with her murder, several months later, has yet to be brought to trial. For Taylor’s family, a constant outpouring of love, support and grief took the form of a memorial “shrine”
on a telephone pole on Rosedale Avenue, close to where the crime was committed, and has been continually adorned with photographs of Taylor, flowers, plants, Teddy bears, art work and loving messages ever since. A grieving mother, Marie Van Diest, together with Taylor’s twin sister Kirstie, had another

vision: to create a trail in honour of Taylor, so that not only would the community be reminded of Taylor, but that women could continue to walk through the same area safely and without fear. The focused, powerful and definitive energy Marie poured into this project, was a force to behold! Any block which came between her and her dream was overturned; any resistance to her vision was made inconsequential. She forged ahead with a quiet dignity, her daughter at her side, providing strength, reassurance and vision, too. Marie’s brother Paul, deeply shaken by the tragedy and the enormity of the task, also engaged in the commitment to be a co-creator of the vision of the trail, and forged ahead, step by step. Marie obtained permission from CN Rail, to allow the trail to be created alongside the tracks. She inspired contractors, local business people, fencers, pavers and carvers to donate materials,
Taylor Van Diest time and effort to help translate the vision into a reality. Work parties formed, materials and funds were donated, illustrating a community which wanted to somehow help to heal the tragedy by offering hands and hearts which gave generously. A special tribute board was created of wood, which now adorns the pathway and featuring a collage of photographs of Taylor, along with a beautifully carved wooden bench, engraved with all the names of those businesses who donated their materials towards the creation of the trail. Elegant signage exists at both ends of the trail, identifying its origins.

This month, solar lights were erected; and in a quiet but meaningful ceremony with the Van Diest family and friends present, the trail was finished and the dream became a reality. Angels adorn the pathway, along with other sculptures, and flowers, placed there by family and members of the community. I have been in awe of the dedication, drive, passion and focus which has been at the helm of bringing this amazing path to fruition. It is an illustration of the capacity of the human spirit to resurrect, to believe in a dream, to keep focused on that dream. To accept nothing less than the creation of that dream...to forge ahead with a spirit of grace. That is the spirit of Marie Van Diest. In memory of Taylor, and to honour her life, we will have a “spirit walk” on Halloween night, Thursday. We invite the public to meet at 6 p.m. at the museum parking lot. We will have a short ceremony, followed by a walk along Pleasant Valley Road to Rosedale, and then to the trail. We will continue along the trail, and back to PV Road. Everyone is asked to bring a candle, to light the way, as a symbol of bringing the “light” back to the night.

From providing reading support at Ellison elementary, to Grade 8 classroom support at Charles Bloom secondary, the Learning Improvement Fund helps to provide additional resources to support students and to help teachers address the needs of their students. The LIF is a Ministry of Education initiative whose exact use is determined through consultations between school districts, principals and classroom teachers. The Vernon school board has approved LIF funding requests in the amount of $718,731, with $54,596 remaining “Schools are chosen based on how their students are doing,” said district superintendent Joe Rogers. “Alexis Park, Ellison and Harwood have the biggest needs based on funding requests.” But both elementary and secondary schools throughout the district have made LIF requests. At Hillview, a request of $9,450 has been made to add a school-based resource teacher. At Silver Star, $18,900 has been requested to add numeracy support. Vernon secondary school has requested $13,286 for one block of physics support, Kalamalka secondary school has put in a request for $13,286 for one block of Applications and Workplace math support.

Police issue roadside prohibitions ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
It was not a good night for two occupants of a northbound vehicle in Spallumcheen. RCMP officers from North Okanagan Traffic Services stopped a vehicle for speeding Saturday shortly before 9 p.m. on Highway 97A near Otter Lake Cross Road. Police state the vehicle was travelling nearly 30 km/hour over the posted speed limit. “The roads were wet, with light rain falling, and dark at the time,” said RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Gerry Kovacs. The 64-year-old male driver from Alberta was checked for sobriety, utilizing a roadside screening device, and recorded a fail. He was issued a 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibition (IRP) and his vehicle was impounded for 30 days. Police said there was a passenger in the vehicle even more intoxicated than the driver, and they

had the duty of serving the passenger a 10-month driving prohibition as directed by the motor vehicle branch. “A lot of time what happens in these cases is the motor vehicle branch has been unable to serve these people with their prohibitions,” said Kovacs. “We’ll come across people, check them and there’s a notation on the file to please serve them with a prohibition notice on behalf of the motor vehicle branch. That’s what happened in this case.” Kovacs said police from across the North Okanagan will continue to target roadways that are known to be dangerous.

School district to replace five buses

Flu season stops here. Prevent the flu this year. Book an in-store flu shot with your Save-On-Foods pharmacist. Also, you may qualify to get the flu shot for free. Ask your pharmacist for details.
Safety is always at the forefront, so once they hit the 325,000 kilometre mark or are at least 12 years old, school buses in the Vernon School District are replaced. The mini bus is replaced once it is at least 10 years old with at least 250,000 km. The district currently has five buses
set to be replaced. As the 72-passenger bus is no longer available, the district has requested the 76-passenger bus. At this month’s district board meeting, trustees approved the bus replacement, as part of the 2013-14 Capital Plan submission to the Ministry of Education. nnn

Tyler Galenzoski will transfer from Lavington to BX, Colleen Harvie leaves her vice-principal post at Okanagan Landing and moves to Lavington as principal. “The transfers are part of the regular admin changes, planning for the future and to fill the principal vacancy at Silver Star elementary,” said district superintendent Joe Rogers. nnn Before renovations can begin at the board office, there are still a number of steps that need to be taken. Trustees have authorized administration to perform an analysis of the space, work flow and storage requirements of the education centre location and develop a new set of concept drawings for board discussion and approval prior to final authorization to proceed with the project. “We don’t have a figure yet as to cost, but it will probably be in the $20,000 range,” said secretary-treasurer Lewis Hill.

Helping THe CommuniTy Gerry M. Laarakker, Lawyer
Q: A:
What’s the new law about Common Law Marriages in BC? Recent legislation in British Columbia has codified just what a common law marriage is and what the ramifications of living in common law are.
After two years of living together, or living together and having a child, your will be treated by the law almost the same as if you were actually married. In case of a break-up, the property-sharing regime is similar in common law as in a marital relationship. Relationships may fail. To avoid any unpleasant surprises it is wise to have a cohabitation agreement early in the relationship when things start to turn ‘serious’. It can protect your assets and spells out the respective obligations of the parties. It beats having to go to court, pouring out your life story in public and having some person in a black robe make decisions for you that affect you for a life time.

Nominate a community achiever Morning Star Staff
Every community has one or more people who make life better for their communities by applying their hard work, skills and talents to such areas as arts and culture, sports and recreation, multiculturalism, environment, healthcare, education, civic duty, business innovation, community volunteerism, philanthropy and youth or seniors’ leadership. It’s time again to recognize these contributions by submitting a nomination to the prestigious British Columbia Community Achievement Awards. The deadline for nominations is Nov. 15. Information about how to nominate is found at www.bcachievement.com, by calling 604-261-9777 or toll free at 1-866 882-6088. New for 2013 is an online nomination process. “Each year, we encourage communities to consider their citizens who make a difference,” said Keith Mitchell, chair of the BC Achievement Foundation, which administers the awards. “Take the time to nominate the special people who contribute to your communities - either as a volunteer or in the course of their work - and who inspire by their example.” Recipients are selected by an independent advisory
council of community leaders based on the nominee’s contribution and commitment to the community. Recipients will be honoured at a ceremony held at Government House in Victoria in spring 2014 where they will receive a unique medallion designed by BC First Nations’ artist Robert Davidson. Established and endowed by the province in 2003, the BC Achievement Foundation is an independent foundation that celebrates excellence in community service, enterprise, arts and humanities. + Tax

Knights snap five-game skid
Brace for Impact
Morning Star Staff
ROGER TEPPER/MORNING STAR
North Okanagan Legends’ Matthew Latham (left) absorbs a check by the Kamloops Rattlers’ Wyatt Jansen in Under 12 field lacrosse play Sunday morning at MacDonald Park. The Legends doubled the Rattlers 6-3.
Special teams’ goals helped the North Okanagan Knights end their losing streak at five games Saturday night at Nor-Val Centre. Mat Lambert and Anthony Ruggiero pocketed powerplay goals and newcomer Blake Culbert supplied an all-planet shorthanded snipe as the Knights grounded the 100 Mile House Wranglers 4-3 before 200 fans. The Knights clipped the Wranglers (first year after moving from Penticton) in overtime a month ago, and had to erase a 2-0 first-period deficit for glory the second time around. “They are probably the hardest-working team in the league,” said Knights’ head coach Shawn Webb. “They are a little under skilled, but that coach (Doug Rogers) cannot be unhappy with the way they work.” Lane van de Wetering (3rd) and Luke Santerno (12th) gave the Wranglers the lead with goals 63 seconds apart. Santerno scored 10 seconds into a powerplay with Midget Viper call-up Cole Woodliffe off for goaltender interference. Mat Lambert (8th), on the powerplay, and Anthony Ruggiero, two minutes later, levelled things in the second period. D-man Mathew Halvorson put the Knights ahead 30 seconds into the third, on a powerplay. Dennon Leibel and Lambert drew assists. Michael Lynch (2nd) equalized for 100 Mile (6-8-0-2) four minutes later, but Culbert blocked a shot, outraced a defender down ice and fooled goalie Kristian Stead by faking a backhand deke and stopping on the doorstep for a smooth tap into an empty net.

Kero plays hero as Centennials shut out Snakes GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
If there’s one thing the Vernon Vipers have come to expect from a B.C. Hockey League tilt with the Merritt Centennials, it’s a grind. Each of the last six meetings between the two clubs (dating back to last season) have been one-goal affairs, including Merritt’s 1-0 shutout win over the host Vipers in front of 1,600 fans Saturday night at Kal Tire Place. Merritt netminder Devin Kero recorded 35 saves for first star and his second shutout of the season. Gavin Gould, with his sixth goal, supplied all the offence Merritt would need, burying the rebound off a point shot by
Up to
Lumby’s Dylan Bowen during a second-period powerplay. “On the road, you’ve always got to find a way to grind out a win, and we did that,” said Kero, a Hancock, Mich. product. “Our dee were helpful in clearing out the front of the net, so it was just a lot of first saves and they were clearing out the rebounds.” Kero, 19, stopped the Vipers’ Michael McNicholas on a breakaway in the opening minute, set up by Liam Coughlin. The Merritt tender denied McNicholas on another breakaway with one minute remaining in the second period. “It freaks you out, but when it’s a point-blank shot or a breakaway right away like that, it gets you in the game,” smiled Kero, who was referred to Merritt head coach Luke
Pierce by Bill Muckalt, a Cents’ grad and former NHLer. He is now assistant coach with the NCAA Michigan Tech Huskies, located near Kero’s hometown. “He called up last minute, five days before camp, and talked to Luke and was like ‘Do you want a goalie?’ I just hopped on a plane and came up here. Didn’t really know if I’d make the team or not.” The Vipers, tied for third in the Interior Division at 9-61-3, swarmed the fifth-place Cents (10-9-1) in the opening frame, outshooting them 17-5. It took Merritt five minutes to register a shot on Michael Stiliadis, who finished with 23 stops.

Vernon powerplay struggles Continued from A27
Despite the shot count, Vernon struggled to create offence, and when they did, they failed to convert. Brendan Persley, crashing the net, rolled a puck through the crease behind Kero and out the other side. “We got pucks to the net, we had our chances,” said Stiliadis, making his home debut. “If those go in, it’s a different game. “After the first, we didn’t put as many pucks to the net as we wanted. I wouldn’t say we let up, but we just didn’t bear down on our chances.” Stiliadis, a 19-year-old Woodbridge, Ont. native, played last season with the Victoria Grizzlies, and returned to the BCHL after starting the year with the OJHL Georgetown Raiders. With Austin Smith on the 30-day injured reserve, he was brought in for added depth in the crease. “It was pretty sudden. My team back in Ontario, we just weren’t getting the job done. When I heard I was coming back out here to a Royal Bank (Cup) team, I was pretty excited.” Vernon’s penalty kill managed more scoring opportunities than its leagueworst powerplay (11.54 per cent), which went 0-for-3 Saturday night. Persley and
McNicholas, followed by McNicholas and Colton Sparrow, later on the same shift, generated the Vipers’ best scoring chances of the third period on shorthanded 2-on1s. “It would be nice if we could bury a few of those,” said Vipers’ assistant coach Dave Robinson. “Our powerplay is pretty dismal right now; we’re getting outworked by the penalty kill and not making the plays that need to be made. “The first period, that’s how we want to be. We were chipping pucks in and getting to the net, but for some reason our guys like to stray away from that. Then we started to play soft – no urgency, no desperation.” Vernon was missing forwards Demico Hannoun and Dexter Dancs, and d-man Jared Wilson, at the Team Canada West selection camp for the World Junior A Challenge, Nov. 4-10, in Yarmouth, N.S. Merritt was without blueliner Dane Birks and forwards Diego Cuglietta and Jeff Wight. Robinson wasn’t using the missing personnel as an excuse. “Whoever we’ve got in the lineup, we want to play the same way, and we’re not playing that way right now.”

With Pierce named head coach of Canada West for the CJHL prospects games, held in conjunction with the WJAC, his cousin, Cole Yurkowski, backed up assistant coach Joe Martin on the bench. “This is a tough building to come into, but the guys responded well to Luke not being here,” said Yurkowski, a 25-year-old electrician who played four seasons with the KIJHL Creston Valley Thunder Cats. “We tried to keep it simple and not get too far ahead of ourselves and it worked out all right for us. “We tried to start from the net out and we did a good job of that, taking sticks in front and keeping our house to ourselves.” SNAKE BITES: Yurkowski holds the KIJHL record for fastest goal. scoring eight seconds into a Sept. 19, 2008 game against the Grand Forks Border Bruins...Vernon called up Blaine Caton from the KIJHL North Okanagan Knights for Saturday’s tilt...Vernon’s Alex Jewell scored twice and was named first star as the host Salmon Arm SilverBacks grounded Merritt 5-2 Sunday at the Shaw Centre...Vernon’s Spencer Hewson collected his second straight Fortis B.C.

Knights call on reserve players Continued from A27
It was the 20-year-old Culbert’s first goal since joining the Knights two games ago from the Kamloops Storm. Zach Dyment (4-6) made 25 saves for the win. “I was almost happy we got behind because we had the lead three games in a row and lapses cost us wins,” said Webb. North Okanagan (8-6-0-1) was without d-man Paul Biegel and centre Logan Mostat, both summoned by the BCHL Salmon Arm SilverBacks. Woodliffe, a winger, and Midget Viper centre Jagger Williamson fit in nicely.
The Knights have Tanner Burns, 20, and Ryan Kelm, 17 on injured reserve. Neither forward is expected to play this weekend in the Knights’ three-game homestand. Ruggiero has been recalled by the BCHL Surrey Eagles for the weekend. The Revelstoke Grizzlies are at NorVal Friday night, while ex-BCHLers Dallas Calvin, Ryan Edwards and the Beaver Valley Nitehawks visit Saturday night. The Princeton Posse are in Armstrong for a 3 p.m. matinee. The Knights are tied for ninth overall, with the Columbia Valley Rockies, in the 20-team loop.
Vernon Adrenaline Rush dialed up the offence for a pair of Junior A ringette wins Saturday at West Kelowna Playdays, starting with a 9-1 win over the host team. The Rush, coached by Paige Powls, used a hat trick from Alex Drury, 2+3 from Kendra Ostafie, 2+1 from Shelby Connors and singles by Taigan Radomske and Saige Woodliffe for the win. Assists came from Hannah Popilchak, Maddie Powls, Saylor Martian and Ava Haldane. Vernon then swamped the TORL Tween A team 13-1, led by 4+1 showings from Ostafie and Connors. Drury (2+2), Radomske (2+1), Woodliffe (1+3) were also big for the Adrenaline crew. Popilchak, Maddie Percy, Martian and Haldane drew assists. Garrett Adams was in net for both wins. In Junior B play, the Vernon Silverrock Land Corporation Uprising bowed 10-2 to Shuswap Saturday in West Kelowna. Ashleigh Cohen (unassisted) and Darian Newman (assisted by Czarina Wisse) handled the Uprising attack. Caenen Wisse collected the easy shutout as Vernon blanked Shuswap 19-0 in Tween A play Saturday in Kelowna. Supplying the offence for Vernon were Emma Carter (4+4), Courtney Bacon (4+1), Alyssa Racine (3+4), Abby Williamson (3+3), Kalen Webster (1+3), Evan Koshure (1+2), Wynter Vanderveen (1+2), Emily Williams and Hailey Quiring. Alyssa Carter chipped in with five assists. Vernon then got 2+2 apiece from Racine and Alyssa Carter to outgun West Kelowna 8-1. Koshure (1+2), Williams, Webster and Bacon added singles, while Emma Carter dished up three helpers, and d-man Maddie Fox had two. The Vernon Newalta Bombers earned a loss and a tie in Tween B play last weekend at Playdays. The Bombers were overmatched in a 14-3 loss to the Kelowna Tween A’s, with Riley Duncan, Sophie Granley and Makayla Vanderzwan taking care of the offence. Jillian Pipke had a hat trick, and Miranda Chapple secured the late equalizer as Vernon drew Shuswap 4-4. Aleisha Smith was fantastic in net for the Bombers, with solid defence coming from Ellen Campbell, Duncan, Granley and Bryn TaylorHawes. In Petite Playdays action on Sunday, the Vernon DCT Chambers Roar fell 6-5 to host West Kelowna. The Roar trailed 4-0 going into the second period, but stormed back on a pair by Georgia Lannon and singles by Emma Lochhead, Ashly Shwaluk and Mackenzie Gilman. Brooklyn Ashby and Amy Demetrick showed great hustle. Sierra Lochhead, Julie Francis and Chayse Krause were solid on defence in front of Liam Van Wyk. The Ice Dragons and Ice Rockets battled in an all-Vernon Novice showdown Sunday morning at Priest Valley Arena. Brooklyn Tardiff opened the scoring and later added a second, assisted by Hillary Quiring. Amelia pocketed a goal for the Dragons, receiving a great pass from Shaila Austin. Rhys Taylor Hawes exploded for three goals, assists coming from Kierra Newman and Jaya Chauhan. Adding to the offence were Quiring (3+3), Makenna Jackson (3+1), Aimee Skinner (2+3), Alecia Hughes (2), Victoria Schultz and Amber Lowe. Goaltenders Jordan Tung and Miah Cohen had stellar games for their respective teams.

Magnums rock Mustangs 46-0 Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Magnums ambushed the host Salmon Arm Mustangs 46-0 Sunday to finish the Southern Interior Pee Wee Football Association regular season at 8-0. Quarterback Zack Smith (5-for-7, 69 yards) passed for two touchdowns, ran for two more and added another two on interception returns to lead the Magnums. Isaiah Ondrik (two receptions for 64 yards, 5-for-6 on extra points) had a stellar game filling in at tight end and placekicker with the highlight being a 50-yard touchdown reception on a go route. Matthew Reich rounded out the scoring with a tip-toe catch at the back of the end zone. “We were firing on all cylinders again today,” said Magnums’ head coach Sean Smith. “Ethan Mitchell made some nice catches playing out of position, Ondrik displayed some great hands in his first action at tight end and our offensive line gave Zack time to throw. We were short at a few key positions but didn’t miss a beat which is a credit to our players’ understanding of the offence.” Defensively, Reich and Joey Mazzei recorded five tackles apiece. Rookie Jordan Knopf and Smith each had fumble recoveries. The Magnums have the week off (bye) before taking on the winner of the fourth/ fifth-place game Sunday, Nov. 10 at Grahame Park (noon).
Heat pocket provincial bronze UBC Okanagan Athletics
The UBC Okanagan Heat shaded the Langara Falcons of Vancouver 3-2 Sunday morning in the bronze-medal game of the 2013 PacWest provincial women’s soccer championships in Nanaimo. It was the fourth year in a row the Heat garnered a medal, earning silver the last two provincials. “We are so proud of the team. They showed great character after a tough loss and battled hard in the game against Langara,” said Ashlee Davison, who handled most of the coaching duties this weekend for an ill Claire Paterson (came down with food poisoning Friday night). It took only a few minutes for junior forward Kirsten Dodds (Vernon) to make her presence felt as she connected in the 14th minute on an unassisted goal that came at the end of an incredible run down the side, losing three defenders in the process. Langara scored two minutes in off a goofy bounce with the heavy winds causing confusion for keeper Christine Tallon. Dodds, who scored in the 70th minute in the Heat’s 3-1 loss to the Quest Kermodes of Squamish in Saturday’s semifinals, was named Top Forward in the provincials. When told of Dodds’ award, Davison remarked that it was “well deserved; she was exceptional in both games and had the weekend of her season. Few defenders were able to strip her of the ball. Paterson, who watched Sunday’s action

Vernon’s Kirsten Dodds, of the UBC Okanagan Heat, steers the ball away from Gabriella Villasenor of the Quest Kermodes of Squamish in PacWest women’s provincial championship soccer action last weekend in Nanaimo. from the sideline, said: “Dodds was having a fantastic match.” It was 1-0 Heat at the break versus Langara before three-time provincial allstar, Hayley Carlson, was the benefactor of
Lindsey Brigg’s onslaught (she struck one post and was stoned by the keeper on another chance) as she put the Heat up 2-1 with a long-range goal after a corner and a save. Langara scored the equalizer on a penalty kick midway through the second half. Midfielder Mairi Horth, playing in the championship close to her hometown of Ladysmith, aggressively took the ball down the flank to find Briggs for the winner just before the final whistle. Davison was pleased with how the team captains stepped up their play as midfielder Marissa Klees (4th year, Bellingham) “set the tone for the weekend with her incredible work ethic and never-say-die attitude.” Hayley Carlson (3rd year, Red Deer), the other captain, “was a force to be reckoned with for other team’s offensive players, and she was our rock at the back,” the fill-in head coach noted. The win was emotional since six members of the team were playing their last match in a Heat uniform. “Our seniors, somewhat emotional, stepped up as leaders and showed great poise and determination,” said Davison. The Thompson Rivers WolfPack of Kamloops struck gold by stopping the Kermodes 1-0. Both the men’s and the women’s soccer teams from UBC’s Okanagan campus will play the 2014 season in the Canada West conference of the CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport).

The Sun Valley Source for Sports Vipers rung up a pair of Okanagan Mainline Bantam Tier 1 Hockey Association road wins, grounding Pursuit of Excellence 5-0 and stopping Okanagan Hockey Academy 3-1. Matt Kowalski pocketed 2+1, while Connor Johnston also scored twice and Brady Marzocco once as the Vipers iced POE Saturday at Nor-Val Sports Centre.

The Vernon Home Building Centre Midget Tier 1 Vipers doubled POE 6-3 Saturday at Pat Duke Memorial Arena in Lumby. Jeff Bochon opened the scoring, shorthanded, assisted by Hayden Chase.

Early in the third, Chase netted the winner, from Scott Latwat and Dolinar. Fried collected his second, from Dolinar and Carson Richards. Layne Greene wrapped up the scoring on the power play from Zach Manton and Chase. The same two teams meet Friday night (8:15, Civic Arena). The Coca-Cola Midget Tier 2 Vipers won their last two games to finish 3-1 at the Winfield Tournament. Brenden Zupp, Landon Munk and Cameron Hitch scored as the Vipers shut down Surrey 3-0, while Carl Main (2), Gabe Turner, Marcus Finn and Zupp handled the offence in a 5-3 victory over Aldergrove.

The Rockets regained a two-goal advantage early in the third but Clarke cut the lead back to one by sliding a shot inside the far post off the rush, from Tucker and Emily Williams. Five minutes later, Tucker drew the Lakers even with a feed from Makenna Southam and then Head (from Jenna Fletcher) went top cheese for the winner. Goaltending duties were shared by Marika Munroe and Teira Joseph who faced a combined 28 shots, Joseph making several point-blank saves in the final minute. The Lakers meet the South Island Royals Friday (6 p.m.) in their tourney opener. Kelowna goes up against the Penticton Ice Rockets (3:45) and the West Kootenay Wildcats face the Williams Lake Timberwolves (6:00, Priest Valley Arena) in other Friday games. Sladen Moore meets Penticton (7 a.m.) and battles the T-Wolves (4:00) in Saturday action at Civic. The final goes Sunday at 2:15 p.m., Civic. The Salmon Arm Midget Tier 1 Female Silvertips got fabulous goaltending from Jaime Sedore (Salmon Arm) in a 3-0 win over Kelowna. Hailey Haskell (Salmon Arm) and Ashley Tinney (Lumby) were marvellous on defence as the Silvertips ready for a Richmond tournament.
Fix Auto Bantam Vipers finish 2-2
The Bantam Tier 2 Fix Auto Jr. Vipers went 2-2 in the Revelstoke Invitational, finishing Sunday with a 3-1 loss (Dex Elders goal) to the Merritt Centennials. After bowing 5-3 to Whitehorse (Joe Eggert, Nick Cherkowski, Mika Burns), the Vipers recovered and smothered the Revelstoke Grizzlies 12-1. Mason McLennan (2), Elders (2) Eggert (2), Mika Burns (2), Damian Coljee-Fehr, Cherkowksi, Aidan Rysen and Caden Bracken pocketed goals versus Revelstoke. All the scoring came in the first period as Vernon clipped Langley 4-3 with goals from Elders, Liam Hennig, Coljee-Fehr and Burns in front of Ethan Huizinga. The Nixon Wenger Pee Wee Tier 3 Jr. Vipers split a pair of road games, knocking off the #2 Kamloops Blazers 5-4 in a spirited affair Saturday at the old Memorial Arena. Nick Teale (2), Cole Johnson, Aiden Trottier and d-man Ben Imrich connected in front of Dalton Stenberg. The Salmon Arm SilverBacks came out inspired and outlasted Vernon 10-7 Sunday at the Shaw Centre. Johnson and Connor Seehaver, with a deuce each, and singles from Kael Black, Lincoln Connor and Tanner Wright, had the Vernon goals.
Pee Wee Knights brush back Bruins
The North Okanagan Knights Pee Wee Tier 4 Knights ambushed the Winfield Bruins 14-0 in league play and tied the West Kelowna Tier 3 Warriors 5-5 in home games.

Valley Wood rules Morning Star Staff
Steel Quiring supplied 2+1 for game MVP as the Valley Wood Remanufacturing Jr. Vipers bounced the Richmond Blues 4-2 Sunday morning in the Atom Harvest Classic Hockey Tournament A Division final at Civic Arena. Quiring tapped in a rebound after a shot from Austin Roest for the Valley Wood first goal. Bennett Kuhnlein added his second of the year from Jace Weir and Zac Funk. With things tied 2-2, Jakob Jones took a pass from Quiring and sniped the gorgeous winner which beat the goalie blocker side. Later on, Jones assisted on Quiring’s clincher. The Vipers’ back line of Issac Thomas, Gage Stoll, Weir and Connor Elliot recorded some huge shot blocks and broke up several odd-man rushes. D-man Ronic Chauhan switched to forward to fill in for injured Porter Trevelyan. Cayden Hamming registered some key saves on deflections, after Richmond pulled their goalie for a sixth attacker with two minutes remaining. The same two teams faced off Saturday afternoon with the Vipers winning 7-4. Jacob Boden pulled the hat trick for the Vipers, while captain Quiring pocketed 2+2 and singles came from Beckner and Jones. Roest earned three helpers. Vernon goalie Owen Swiscoski had another solid game, while Bennett Kuhnlein turned in a gritty showing, feeding Beckner for his goal. Owen Palfreyman also had a clutch game and made a key pass to Jones. Earlier Saturday, the Vipers stormed the Vancouver Thunderbirds 9-2. The line of Roest, Quiring, Boden combined for 10 points with Roest ringing up a deuce. Jones also netted a pair, singles going to Chauhan, Palfreyman and Trevelyan. Hamming
was named MVP. In the C Division, the H&L Glass Jr. Vipers brushed back the South Okanagan Coyotes 4-1 in the bronzemedal final. Vernon’s goaltending and specialty teams were the difference. In penalty trouble in the first, defensive rock Liam Leibel sent the Coyotes’ power play back down the ice time after time. Shorthanded with seconds left in the frame, Nick Noren freed the puck for John Spraggs, whose missile from the right boards caught the far corner. Vernon’s power play went to work in the second. With Cash Anderson providing a screen in front, Leibel launched the winner from the left point. Then Colby Restiaux was Johnny-on-the-spot, firing Vernon’s third off a Spraggs’ rebound. Goalie Jaret Cooper was flawless, leaving the game at 3-0 after one last big save, his glove materializing to snare a bolt labeled for the top corner Back on the penalty kill, Emma Elders hammered the puck just past the Coyote net, and Anderson swung out in front and tucked the puck between the goalie’s pads. South Okanagan counted one in the third, and Vernon killed off two more penalties, Teja Sheldrake’s pads flashing in the crease. Sheldrake, who also foiled a pair of breakaways, was named the Player of the Game. Cooper, who used his head to blank the Coyotes – taking one blast off the mask – picked up the Hard Hat Award. Earlier, the H&L Glass gang gonged the Coyotes 8-3 and lost 8-0 to the eventual champion Langley Eagles, winners over the North Okanagan Knights. Girl power was in full effect as game MVP Jordyn Morris and Elders, competing with a potent combination of skill and grit, struck for three of Vernon’s goals.

The
Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder TAKE YOUR TIME AT THE BEGINNING Paul Valery, a French poet and critic who died in 1945, said, “Every thought is an exception to the general rule that people don’t think.” Bridge players always think -- although experts think more than others. Today’s deal requires careful thought. South is in three no-trump. West leads his fourth-highest heart. What should South do after winning with his jack? South seems to have a textbook two-no-trump opening bid, but it is close to an upgrade to two clubs, with that good five-card suit worth an extra point. Declarer has only five top tricks: two spades and three hearts. It looks obvious
to attack diamonds, where he has so many cards. And that is true, but it helps if he pauses to think about the right play at trick two. Suppose South makes the natural-looking choice of a low diamond to dummy’s jack. Here, East wins the trick with his ace and returns a heart, after which declarer has no chance. If South then tries clubs, East takes the trick with the ace and leads his last heart. True, if declarer starts at trick two with a club to dummy’s 10, that makes it harder for the defense. Whichever defender takes the trick must shift to spades. However, South can leave the defenders with no chance if he leads the diamond king from his hand at the second
trick. If East wins the trick, declarer takes East’s return and ducks a diamond to collect two spades, three hearts and four diamonds. Alternatively, if East ducks the diamond king, South turns to clubs, taking two spades, three hearts, one diamond and three clubs.

Following the birth of two daughters the family moved to Armstrong in 1959 as he had accepted a posting with the B.C. Pea Growers. In 1973 Art changed careers and drove truck for Buckerfields for 20 years until his retirement in 1993. Art’s past reflects him as an avid hunter and fisherman, a past member of both the Fish and Game Club and local Legion. The last several years he was a member of the Armstrong Seniors Activity Centre where he posed a real challenge to the other billiard players and was a regular with the local A&W coffee groups. He is survived by his wife Nancy, his two daughters Mary Vollans (Gordon) and Henny Arlitt (Daryl), their mother Marie, step children Tammy Flanders (Ramzi), Tim Flanders (Angie), brothers Kees, Henk, George, and Piet, sisters Corrie and Jannie, nine grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren, his wife’s four grandchildren and great. grandchild, (lovingly known as Opa to all 34), numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and his many friends, all of whom were an important part of his life.

News Canfor, West Fraser announce mill closures in Central Interior tom fletcher
Black Press
Sawmills in Quesnel and Houston are to be closed next year as their owners trade
timber cutting rights to maintain competing operations in the two B.C. Interior communities affected by mountain pine beetle
infestation. Canfor Corp. announced it will close its Quesnel mill in March 2014, transferring its forest licence
for the region to West Fraser to supply logs to its recently rebuilt Quesnel mill. West Fraser announced it will close its Houston
mill next year, trading part of its cutting rights to Canfor to supply its Houston operation. West Fraser CEO
Ted Seraphim said in a statement its Houston closure will affect 225 employees. The company plans “major rebuilds” of its

sawmills in 100 Mile House and Smithers, and is proceeding with a bioenergy projects at its Fraser Lake and Chetwynd operations. “Our first priority is to explore opportunities to transition Houston employees to one of our other operations, and we will provide assistance in finding new employment,” Seraphim said. C anfor CEO Don Kayne said the 209 employees at its Quesnel mill will be offered positions elsewhere in the company. “The additional fibre we have been able to secure in the exchange agreement with West Fraser enhances the fibre requirements for our Houston facility,” Kayne said. Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad, who chaired a review of Interior timber supplies in the wake of last year’s explosion and fire at Babine Forest Products in Burns Lake, said he expected the decision to reduce mill capacity in the Quesnel region. “The surprise is the closure of the Houston mill, from my perspective,” Rustad said. “I think West Fraser has always been looking at how they want to move the wood between the three mills, but when we looked at the opportunities in the Houston area on the timber supply component, there was a significant amount of wood in that area, and our hope was it would continue to support two mills.” Rustad said the decision last December to provide timber for Oregon-based Hampton Affiliates to rebuild its Burns Lake sawmill “had only very minimal impact” on supply for the other mills in the region. Forests Minister Steve Thomson was scheduled to return Friday from a lumber trade mission in Japan and China, along with industry executives from across the province.

On Halloween night, an average of 130 people are injured in 90 crashes across the province. With trick-or-treaters knocking on doors on Thursday and Halloween parties this weekend, ICBC is asking drivers to be extra cautious on our roads and for parents to make a plan to help keep their children safe this Halloween. “As a parent myself, I know how excited children are about trick-ortreating and their safety on the road may not be top of mind for them,” said Todd Stone, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure. “That’s why the onus is on us as parents, and as drivers, to make sure children across the province have a fun and safe Halloween.” “Kids love to have fun on Halloween, and that can mean popping out from behind bushes to scare their friends or wearing the dark costumes of their favourite characters,” said Suzanne Anton, Attorney General and Minister of Justice. “While this is what makes the night memorable, it’s also what can

make them disappear from sight for drivers on the road. Parents can add reflective stickers to their child’s candy bag and drivers should be sure to go very slow, especially through residential neighbourhoods.” “Halloween season evening is a time when all drivers need to be smart, slow down and be ready for the unexpected, particularly in residential areas where our precious children will be moving from house to house and often crossing the road,” said Chief Constable Jamie Graham, Chair of the Traffic Safety Committee of the British Columbia Association of Chiefs of Police. “We encourage parents to join their children for trick-or-treating on Halloween,” said John Dickinson, ICBC’s director of road safety. “Not only will you have a lot of fun but you’ll also be able to help your children stay

safe and find good places to cross roads.” Here are ICBC’s spooktacular safety tips for parents and drivers: Tips for parents: Dress to be seen: Let’s not spoil our kids’ fun. Halloween is about putting on spooky outfits – but that often involves dark colours. A good solution is to buy reflective tape that you can add to the outfit or even to children’s shoes or bags to help them stand out against the dark road. The best ghouls see everything: Masks are a key part of many Halloween costumes but it’s important that it doesn’t hinder your child’s ability to see what’s going on around them. Put the mask over your own face to check the visibility and make any necessary adjustments. The best ghouls hear everything too: As adults, we know that

hearing is just as important as seeing when it comes to safety around roads. Remind your children not to use their cellphone or listen to their iPod. Safety in numbers: If you’ll be walking outside on this spookiest of nights, walk in numbers to help drivers and others see you and your children. Be sure to have an appropriate number of adults to accompany the children. Gone haunting: If your kids are heading out for some trick-ortreating fun without you, help them plan a safe route ahead of time. Consider a route that takes them through a quiet residential area away from busy main roads and parking lots. Remind them to cross streets at designated crossing points. Tips for drivers: A fright’s just around the corner: Drivers need to slow down and expect the unexpected. Children are likely caught up in the excitement of Halloween and may forget the rules of the road so slow down and be especially alert in residential areas. Limit any distractions in your car so you can focus your full attention on the road. The ghouls may not notice you: Children may have very limited visibility while wearing masks and costumes so don’t assume they see you approaching. Always yield to pedestrians – by doing so, you help ensure they cross the road safely. Beware of those dark alleys: Surprises often lurk in the darkest of places so enter and exit driveways and alleys slowly and carefully. Watch for little trick-ortreaters when backing up. Don’t end on a true scare: If you’re hosting or attending a Halloween party, always make sure there are options for everyone to get home safely, such as designated drivers, transit or taxi numbers on hand.
