Prince (right) does a flip while Team CanFly practises on Kalamalka Lake. For a video of the unique sport visit www.vernonmorningstar.com.
alamalka Lake is record-breaking ground, er, water. A professional team of flyboarders have been hovering over the lake this week displaying the unique sport – a flyboard is a type of water jetpack attached to a personal watercraft which supplies propulsion to drive the flyboard through air and water. While the lake is home to almost every other water sport (paddleboards, water skis, wakeboards, kayaks, jet skis and more) it was a rare sight for many who took in the Team CanFly action Wednesday and Thursday. Not only that, but those on the shores of Kekuli Bay Thursday afternoon caught history in the making. With 10 to 15 flyboards and other hydroflight devices, a Canadian record was in the works with the most flyboards on Canadian water. “There’s been maybe four on the water at once,” said Michael Prince, professional flyboarder with Team CanFly. “We’re setting the record, officially.” The occasion, which was professionally filmed, also puts the local lake in the spotlight, which was chosen for its majestic beauty. “We chose the lake for the beautiful colour of the water and we needed a quieter location,” said Prince, as even a location such as Kelowna can get too busy and distracting for the athletes. And the locals appreciated the opportunity to catch the action. “Everyone was thanking us and cheering us on. Everyone is super respectful,” said Prince, adding that even the water has been “bearable” with wet suits. Spectators were also slated to be treated to a night show Thursday evening. “We’re trying to pioneer things and grow the sport and build the passion,” said Prince, whose team is training and looking for sponsors to help them get to the World Cup in Dubai this year. Prince, originally an Ontario professional in the business world, came upon the sport while setting up a website for a client. Now he’s ditched the suit for a life vest and the chance to soar. “I’ll be travelling, doing shows and competing until mid-December,” said Prince, who also works seasonally operating Canadian Jet Pack Adventures in Kelowna.

Generosity fills Polson Tower with care ROGER KNOX

ission accomplished. With time to spare. The Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation announced Wednesday it has completed its fundraising goal a year ahead of time to equip the top two floors of the Polson Tower. Launched in November 2013, the aim of the Building A Tower of Care Campaign Phase II was to raise $2.5 million by mid2016. On Wednesday, foundation president Elise Allan announced that nearly $2.6 million had been raised. “Thanks to the amazing generosity of the North Okanagan community and beyond, I’m thrilled to say we have completed the campaign,” said Allan. “We could not have done it without the amazing support of the donors in the North Okanagan including all numbers of individuals, group donors, corporate and business donors and our event sponsors. “There are far too many to announce today, it would take me hours.” Allan did single out major campaign sponsors including Tim Hortons, Silver Star Mountain Resort, Subway, the RBC Foundation, Nixon Wenger, the Okanagan Landing Volunteer Fire Department, Ford Family Foundation, Armstrong Spallumcheen Health Care Auxiliary, VJH Auxiliary, Telus, Wayside and Predator Ridge Resort. Allan also thanked the foundation’s staff, campaign team and board of directors for their tireless efforts in raising the funds.

Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation president Elise Allan announces the completion of the Building a Tower of Care, Phase II, fundraising campaign Wednesday at Vernon Jubilee Hospital.
“The community knew it was time for some new beds in our hospital.” — Sue Beaudry
“I think the reason the campaign went so quickly was we had a great campaign team but I think the community knew it was time for some new beds in our hospital,” said Sue Beaudry, the foundation’s director of development. “And having seen how beauti-
ful the first five floors were, and how old the existing building was, the community decided it was time to finish this job. We had wonderful support.” The sixth floor of the tower will be named for the Kiwanis Club of Vernon Four Seasons, who donated $250,000 to the
campaign Wednesday. “Our main focus is on children and, of course, children are in the hospital right after birth, but we wanted to do something locally to leave a legacy of Kiwanis in Vernon,” said Cindy Krusel of the Kiwanis Club of Vernon Four Seasons, which celebrated its 25th anniversary on Saturday (Kiwanis has been in Vernon for 65 years). Also boosting the campaign was a $110,000 from the Armstrong Spallumcheen Health Care Society, proceeds from sales at The Bargain Bin thrift store in Armstrong, and a
$25,000 donation from Vernon law firm Nixon Wenger. More than $528,000 was raised at the annual Foundation Charity Classic golf tournament, sponsored by Predator Ridge and Telus. “It is also important to acknowledge that a significant number of campaign contributions were less than $500,” said campaign co-chairperson, Dr. Chris Cunningham. “Every donation made an impact in helping us achieve our mission to support health care in the North Okanagan.” Construction on the two floors is anticipated to be completed by Halloween, then, from November to January, equipment will be installed and staff will receive training on new procedures and equipment usage. In-patients on the second and third floors will be moved onto the new floors at the end of January, with direct admission to the sixth and seventh floors scheduled to take place at the beginning of February.

Police chase leads to arrest ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
JENNIFER SMITH/MORNING STAR
A damaged truck comes to rest at 25th Avenue and HIghway 97 in Vernon after a police chase originated in Lake Country Wednesday.
Nobody was seriously injured following a bizarre incident Wednesday that began in Lake Country and wrapped up at the bottom of Hospital Hill in Vernon. Shortly before 10 a.m., the Vernon RCMP detachment received word from Lake Country that officers there were pursuing a white northbound pickup on Highway 97 but could not catch up to the vehicle. “We were told the
vehicle had struck a number of vehicles as well as the median,” said Vernon RCMP Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy. Vernon officers were able to locate the truck and had it stopped near the bottom of Hospital Hill in the northbound lane. The truck could be seen to have substantial damage. One man was arrested at the scene and taken into police custody. Northbound traffic on Highway 97 into Vernon was snarled as police dealt with the situation. The incident remains under investigation by the police.

Life experiences influence Derkaz’ direction Editor’s Note: This is the second in a series of profiles featuring the North OkanaganShuswap federal candidates.

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
An almost devastating experience ultimately solidified Cindy Derkaz’ direction in life. It was 1967 and flames engulfed the historic Montebello Hotel in Salmon Arm. The inferno spread to other adjacent businesses, including Derkaz Shoes, owned by the 11-yearold’s parents, Walter and Betty. “The store was substantially burned,” said Cindy Derkaz, North O k a n a g a n - S hu s w ap Liberal candidate. “The bank manager called the next morning and said the line of credit was cancelled because there was no business and then there was a call that there would be no insurance.” Her parents were left wondering how they would put food on the table, but the tide turned when Walter contacted Vernon lawyer Neil Davidson. Within days, all financial activity had been restored. “I decided then that I wanted to be a lawyer to help people with their problems,” said Derkaz. Born in Ontario, she moved with her parents to the Shuswap in 1958 at age three. Her dad ran the Consumers Co-Operative but he branched out and
1 0 2
opened the shoe store in 1958. Ten years later, another store was added in Vernon, where Derkaz worked relief shifts during summer holidays. Derkaz, 59, was focused at an early age. “I was horse crazy from the time I could walk and I was determined to have a horse at age nine,” she said. Trying to encourage this equine passion, her parents sent her to live with a Notch Hill family for the summer. She was barely on site when she negotiated terms to purchase a horse for $150 (half of the money from her and half from her dad). Derkaz graduated from Salmon Arm Senior High in 1972 at age 16, and immediately went off to law school in Vancouver. Completing her law degree in 1978, she articled in Salmon Arm, joined a law firm and eventually opened her own practice. She sold the firm in 1991 and retired as a lawyer in 1996 so she could be more commu-
nity involved. “I grew up as an only child and had the sense that you need to give back to the community. I was the nerdy chair of the (high school) year book club,” she said. Derkaz has also been involved in literacy programs and the film society, but her proudest achievement is helping found the Shuswap Community Foundation, which uses endowments to support local charities. Another passion is running, which she often does with her husband of 26 years, Don Derby. “It’s ironic because I was always the last to be chosen for sports in school,” she said. Derkaz has accomplished half-marathons and she believes running has provided her with some basic skills to possibly prepare her for being an MP in Ottawa. “I’ve learned to be on the ground and notice the small changes. When you are running a route, you notice changes in the seasons
and in people. In some ways, it takes the same focus (to run for office). You need the skills of concentrating and observing, setting a goal and accomplishing it.” While she was busy with her volunteer duties, Derkaz found it important to put all of that on hold and enter the political fray. “Over the last five years I watched the direction Canada was taking under the Harper government and I realized that if you don’t like what you see, you need to get active,” she said. “I was concerned about our democracy and economy. There’s a problem with the wealthy getting wealthier and leaving the rest behind.”

A family ‘secret’
xploring one’s family history can sometimes reveal the proverbial skeleton in the closet. For those who have done their own research in museum archives, or online on one of those ancestry search websites, the revelation that a relation had a secret or did something immoral can come as a bit of a shock. Maybe great-great grandpa was a slave owner, or grandma had a half-sister she didn’t know about. Nowadays, it’s a lot easier to uncover our past history and ancestry. And sometimes it just leads you to more mystery. That’s been my case with a certain someone Kristin Froneman that could be related to my maternal grandfather’s side of the family – or not. It’s always been sort of a joke in my family of who this “secret” relation is because of the last name he shares with my maternal side. Could he be a distant cousin? The off-shoot of two family factions? After all, there are not many descendants of the motherland, Ireland, now living in North America who share the last name of Bulger (actually, there are even less Fronemans, but that’s a whole different story). The subject of many books and a just released film starring Johnny Depp, James “Whitey” Bulger could be our long, lost relation. After seeing the film on the weekend, I certainly hope not. He wasn’t a nice guy. For those of you, like me, who have read Dick Lehr and Gerard O’Neill’s book, Black Mass, and have seen the film of the same name, you know Whitey Bulger was a dangerous criminal who led a band of thugs, known as the Winter Hill Gang, named after their South Boston neighbourhood, in many organized-crime-related activities, including murder, in the 1970s. Whitey’s brother, William “Billy” Bulger, however, was an outstanding citizen, president
AT RANDOM
of the Massachusetts senate at the time and later president of the University of Massachusetts (a post he resigned once it was found out what his brother had been up to). Whitey basically got away with his crimes for almost a decade. He was enlisted as an informer for the FBI by his childhood friend, FBI agent John Connolly, who wanted to take down the Italian mafia. (You can’t make this stuff up!) Eventually it all caught up with them. Connolly was convicted of racketeering and obstruction of justice charges stemming from his relationship with Whitey Bulger and the Winter Hill Gang. But before Whitey could be charged, he bolted and was on the lam for 12 years before he was captured in 2011 and convicted on 19 counts of murder. Now 85, he will linger this life, and the next, in jail and purgatory. It’s possible Bulger could be related to our family as he does have a Canadian connection. In the 19th century, it is recorded that a few Bulger families left Ireland and settled in Canada. One of them, William Bulger, came to Canada in 1825 from Co. Wexford in Ireland, and settled in St. John’s, Nfld. He was Whitey’s great-grandfather, whose descendants would eventually make their way to Boston. According to my family records, my greatgreat grandfather, Daniel Bulger, settled in the Ottawa Valley in the 1880s and came from around the same area of Ireland as the other Bulgers. He took a different route in life - becoming a school trustee. In fact, a one-room school house still exists on the property where my greatgrandfather settled. The property has survived through four generations of my family, and the house is now owned by my mom’s cousin. The relation between our two families back in Ireland is a little cloudy, so who knows, it could simply be that we share a name. But for what it’s worth, the family “secret” is out there still to be uncovered. Rest my soul.
It’s an accomplishment the whole North Okanagan community can feel good about. The Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation announced this week that the campaign to equip the top two floors of the Polson Tower was not only complete, but almost a full year ahead of schedule. The ambitious goal of Building A Tower of Care Campaign Phase II, launched in 2013, was to raise $2.5 million in less than three years, and the community did it in two, with an extra $100,000 to boot. Congratulations must go to the foundation’s staff, campaign team and board of directors for leading the way but they would be the first to admit this kind of success doesn’t happen if the community doesn’t rally behind the cause. “And having seen how beautiful the first five floors were, and how old the existing building was, the community knew it was time for some new beds in our hospital,” said Sue Beaudry, the foundation’s director of development. “We had wonderful support.” “Our hospital” is a key phrase in Beaudry’s comments as obviously the North Okanagan has also embraced the hospital as their own and is willing to contribute to the cause, including the Kiwanis Club of Vernon – Four Seasons who celebrated their 25th anniversary in style by donating $250,000. That’s truly outstanding and they deserve to have their name on the sixth floor, which will begin taking patients in February. However, it took many service clubs, businesses, events and individuals to make this happen and they can all feel good about such an incredible accomplishment that will help so many fellow residents in their time of need. Congratulations to all on a job well done.

T
he pickleballers are requesting that as many as 16 pickleball courts be inserted into the centre of the grass oval in Polson Park. With the recent publicity I am sure most of Vernon knows what pickleball is and what it brings to an area. Let me lead off with that Polson Park is not a good fit for pickleball. When the grandstand burned down, the city council of the time realized that this oasis in the middle of the city was a jewel for the citizens of Vernon. They decided the park was to be dedicated as a family park and moved baseball. With many dedicated parks employees and at considerable cost, they revamped the duck pond area, rebuilt the boardwalk, put in a children’s water spray area and playground. With the majestic willow and
other trees, the park has become a magnet for tourist stops and of course for Vernon citizens to enjoy the ducks and geese, the picnic tables and the only open grass area in the park – the oval.
CHILD POVERTY I’m reading Hilary Mantel’s novel Bring Up the Bodies. It tells the story of the rise and fall of Anne Boleyn through the eyes of Henry VIII’s advisor Thomas Cromwell. In March 1536, Cromwell proposed a new poor law, but the English Parliament did not pass it. Though this event took place almost 500 years ago, the following lines in Mantel’s novel are eerily familiar: “It was too much for the Commons to digest, that rich men might have some duty to the poor… It is an outrage to the rich and enterprising, to suggest that they should pay an income tax, only to put bread in the mouths of the workshy. And if Secretary Cromwell argues that famine provokes criminality: well, are there not hangmen enough?” Do Canadians believe rich men have some duty to the poor? In 1989, MPs in our House of Commons voted unanimously to bring an end to child poverty in Canada by the new millennium. Since then, the child poverty rate in B.C. has risen from 15 to 20 per cent. One in seven children in Canada – 1.2 million kids – live in poverty. These are statistics from the 2014 Child Poverty Report Card produced by the B.C. Child and Youth Advocacy Coalition.

It has been tracking child and family poverty rates for almost 20 years but the 2014 report warns readers the ability to compare and assess these trends are now hampered by our federal government’s elimination of best data sources including the long form census. And during an interview in December 2013, our Industry Minister James Moore stated, “Obviously nobody wants kids to go to school hungry… but is that always the government’s job, to serve people their breakfast?” If, like Cromwell, you believe “famine provokes criminality,” don’t worry. Our current federal government plans to expand budgets for prisons by 27 per cent. This despite research showing incarceration rates in the U.S. rose 700 per cent over a 40-year period with no corresponding drop in crime. So, since Cromwell proposed his law, society still struggles with some of the same issues. But we do have one great advantage over the poor of Cromwell’s England. We are not helpless subjects of a mercurial king and his noblemen. We have the power to elect those who rule if we get out and vote. Joanna Rainer STICKLE ROAD I would like to second the motion of William
Heimbecker in The Morning Star. I agree that 20th Street extended from near the big box shopping district northward to car dealer row would take a lot of pressure off the Stickle Road/Highway 97 intersection no matter what solution is implemented for this intersection. My first preference for this latter problem is a traffic calming, not obstructing, roundabout; the kind of solution used in more enlightened jurisdictions around the world, especially in Europe and Great Britain. A Google Earth view of this intersection suggests there is enough room to implement such a solution. Charles Wills

ELECTION TIME Isn't this a wonderful time of the year? Everywhere you look there's many different signs littering the burned, dead lawns as far as you can see. There are red, blue, orange and even green ones. My biggest concern is that with everyone I talk to about these colours, the topic quickly changes to the white flag as everybody seems to have given up. Robert James Johnston

Despite the background of a vehicle hum, it is a very enjoyable, serene experience to walk the length of the park and take in all its unique features. Of course the magnificent
gardens add to the ambience. During the past five-plus years, the park has become a much used facility by citizens and visitors. My wife and I drive down from the Middleton Area three to four times a week to enjoy this wonderful park. For the pickleballers, of course, this would be like winning the lottery. The problem is the noise of the bats and the chatter of the players (we older folks do chatter, as it is a social gathering) would completely destroy the serenity existing in the park today. Try to picture and hear 12 to 16 pickleball courts going at it in this area. Council, save Polson Park for what it was intended. It is not a sports park. Assist the pickleballers in finding a proper sports location. David W. Burns
CLIMATE CHANGE I've been thinking about climate change denial and I've nailed down my problem with it. The claim is, as I understand it, that we humans have not actually caused the change. It's just a natural cycle that's been repeating since the beginning of time. OK. Let's accept that premise for a moment and extrapolate. Imagine a giant meteor is hurtling toward Earth. It's just a natural occurrence that humanity certainly didn't cause. Does that mean we do nothing about it? We have technology and understanding that we didn't have if/when the Earth faced such a threat before. We'd go all armageddon on that rock and do what we can to save our planet, right? So, even if we didn't cause this climate change, why not throw all of our knowledge, tech and resources at the very real threat that it poses? This is not about cause or blame. It's about dealing with reality and ameliorating the situation so our kids and grandkids can have a liveable planet. Sam Zaharia

New logo for foundation ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation raises funds for more than just VJH. With that thought in mind, the foundation decided to change its brand and, on Wednesday, released its new logo. “There are more than 50 designated areas of care that we raise money for,” said Wilf Mulder, chairperson of the foundation’s public relations committee. “It’s not easy to communicate the scope of what we do, so we thought one way to communicate that is through a new look.” The logo simply says “VJH Foundation, with VJHL written in red, and “Foundation” in blue. Coming off the “F” is the beginning of a heart. “The colour blue symbolizes the professionalism, reliability and stability of the foundation..,” said Mulder. “The red reflects the foundation’s passion to raise funds for current and emerging health care needs. Connecting the heart with the “F” in Foundation characterizes the partnership that the foundation
shares with the community and local health care authorities, and supporting health care for North Okanagan residents.” A team of advisors, working with Mulder’s committee, helped create and refine the foundation’s brand, a process that took just under two years to complete. With the help of Wayside’s design team, the committed captured its vision and, on Wednesday, brought it to fruition. “The new logo places a focus on the foundation to highlight that we support much needed areas of health care in addition to VJH,” said Mulder. Programs throughout the North Okanagan are supported by the foundation. “We want residents to know, whether they are in Enderby,
Armstrong, Lumby or Cherryville, the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation is dedicated to providing the absolute best health care possible,” said Mulder.

Tuition debated ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
He waited patiently for nine much older people to ask their questions, and stood through the answers from the politicians. Finally, after 45 minutes, it was Jared Brown’s turn to approach the microphone at a North OkanaganShuswap all-candidates forum Wednesday at Armstrong’s Centennial Theatre. The Grade 9 Pleasant Valley Secondary School student, by far, the youngest member of the capacity crowd who drew a huge laugh when he cracked he may study politics, asked if the federal parties had any plans to make college or university more affordable for the middle class or below.
“Our government has encouraged colleges and universities to invest in their future through programs,” said Conservative candidate Mel Arnold, though he admitted he couldn’t state any direct programs as he hadn’t studied the topic close enough to provide details (and he did vow to get Brown an answer to his question). “We are doing our best to keep colleges growing and strong and keep the interest there for young people like you.” Liberal candidate Cindy Derkaz said one way students can fund their education is with good summer jobs, which, she said, her party will provide. “We have a commitment to provide another 35,000 summer jobs for
students, incentives for employers to hire these students and for more skills training and co-op programs for students to get them in the work force,” she said. Green Party candidate Chris George, a university student, said his party looked around the world for better ideas for students. “It’s been proven in other countries that rolling post-secondary into your public education system increases economic productivity, prosperity, equality and the competitiveness of the economies,” said George. “The Greens have a plan to eliminate some of that federal debt (for students) through a long term program.” Said Jacqui Gingras, NDP candidate: “We need to make sure we

The candidates were asked if they were personally involved in a group considering refugee sponsorship. Derkaz, Gingras and George said no, while Arnold said he was indirectly involved through Rotary, and that the Conservative government is seventh in the world in providing aid toward refugee programs. “As a businessman I’m proud to belong to an organization like Rotary,” he said. “That’s where I find those kind of people that really care, business people contributing locally and internationally, and that do good work on the ground to help, hopefully, make life better for those people in those countries so they don’t have to become refugees and leave their countries...” Gingras said the question has given her pause for thought. “Yes, people are becoming involved as private citizens, and, yes,
we need a government that upholds our international obligations,” she said. “The NDP has a plan to welcome Syrian refugees, 10,000 by the end of the year and 9,000 every year until 2018, and that plan is based on UN (United Nations) recommendations.” Being a full-time university student, George said his financial support for things like refugees is “kind of in my future.” “My volunteer efforts are focused here (election) and on my community garden in Sorrento,” said George. “If an organization came forward in my community, I would look at lending my time and effort to it.” Like George, Derkaz said she is fully engaged in “trying to win this election to be your MP.” But she would not rule out the possibility of getting involved. “The Liberal platform includes immediately bringing in 25,000 refugees to Canada,” said Derkaz. “If there were a group – and I see some of my Rotary club members here – that felt compassion to engage in sponsorship, I’d certainly be a part of that.” The forum was hosted by the ArmstrongSpallumcheen Chamber of Commerce.

Program encourages love for reading JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Just last year, Bradley Simpson struggled with reading but now the eight-year-old has his nose in Harry Potter novels. Simpson’s Grade 2 Harwood Elementary teacher noticed the difficulty Simpson was having last year and recommended him for the One to One Children’s Literacy Program. “He doubled his reading ability just in that 12 weeks,” said Jennifer Stewart, a school-based resource teacher at Harwood. And his success wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for the program volunteers, who sat down with Simpson 30 minutes a day, four times a week. “I loved it. It was really fun with all the games and the books,” said Simpson, now an avid Grade 3 reader who says books are fun and interesting. “Since I read books a lot I’m really fast.” His mom even recently caught him reading Harry Potter. “She said, ‘how are you reading that?’” It’s all thanks to the strategies and skills Simpson learned in the program, which boosted his reading ability, confidence and enjoyment. “The more reading we do, the more we develop a love for reading,” said Stewart. But the program isn’t even possible without the volunteers who spend that time with the kids.
JENNIFER SMITH/MORNING STAR
Eight-year-old Bradley Simpson reads with Bonnie Hutton, One to One Children’s Literacy Program district co-ordinator, at Harwood Elementary. The program runs in every school in the district, including Cherryville, Lavington and at the Okanagan Indian Band. But it takes approximately 12
volunteers per school to run it. “Every school right now needs a couple people,” said Bonnie Hutton, district coordinator of the pro-
gram, which is run by the Junction Literacy Centre. While teaching a young child to read may seem like a daunting task, the only requirement is a love of reading. “You can never hurt a child by reading with them,” said Hutton. Volunteers are trained and then they spend an hour and half (either one morning or afternoon) a week from mid-October to midMay in the school. “It’s a bit of a commitment but it makes a huge difference in the reading ability of kids,” said Stewart. “And it’s so important to help them develop those skills at an early age.” Training sessions take place Sept. 29, 30 and Oct. 1, therefore anyone interested is urged to sign up by visiting junctionliteracycentre.ca or by calling 250-275-3117. Those interested who can’t make the training dates
will be accommodated. Anyone, from retired teachers to college students and even parents interested in making a difference can take part. “A lot of them are parents whose kids are already grown and they just want to give back to the community,” said Hutton. For students like Simpson, between grades one and five, the skill learned is one benefit, but the one-on-one time with caring adults is an added benefit. “They’re excited, they make a connection, it’s fun,” said Hutton.
And the reward for the volunteers is also immense. “What they get out of it is much more than what they put in.”

Federal candidates draw crowd JACKIE PEARASE Special to The Morning Star
Voters peppered federal candidates with diverse questions at Enderby’s election forum Tuesday. More than 100 people filled the Enderby Seniors Complex to hear from the candidates for the North O k a n a g a n - S hu s w ap riding and pose questions that touched on timely topics like the Middle East and some older issues like the long gun registry. Conservative Mel Arnold blamed the Liberals for wasting $2

Liberal Cindy Derkaz said her party has no plans to resurrect the registry. “We’re not going down that route and
make any further changes.” Green candidate Chris George said the focus should to be on illegal guns, responsible use and education. “The current registry and the current way we regulate firearms in this country is adequate,” he

noted. Jacqui Gingras, NDP candidate, said she ran for election only after being assured the registry was off the table. “We are going to uphold the rights of responsible gun owners, of which I am one. I will stand for you on this issue,” she said. A question about arms deals to Saudi Arabia led to answers focused on Canada’s role in the Middle East. “We need to have a return to a foreign policy where we do stick to our rules; where we are that middle power. We’ve somehow lost the Canadian-ness that we think that we have,” said Derkaz. George expressed a need for Canada to return to its role as peacekeepers. “We also need to go through a rebuilding period of re-supplying our Armed Forces with the tools they need to do their job,” he added. “We need to be reminded that we do have a role as peacekeepers and providing humanitarian aid,” agreed Gingras. “And when we provoke conflict, then there are consequences to that.” Arnold said Canada’s role in the current refugee crisis lies in addressing tensions overseas. “If we can do something in that area to ease the pressure on those people in their homes and keep them there, that is what’s going to be best for everyone all the
way around.” A question around genetically modified organisms prompted criticism of Conservative policy around scientific research. “It is really an issue of evidence-based decision-making and the ability of scientists to speak about their science, to share their research and the will of the government to act upon that evidence,” Derkaz said. Gingras said the NDP wants “to stand to reignite the spirit of discovery in this country so we can collect the evidence so we can keep our food and ourselves safe.” George said research around GMOs should be done by industry and the results shared with the public. “But until you get to that point, that product needs to stay off our shelves,” he added. Arnold said the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is crucial to food safety. “I would also like to support that we do have food labelling so it identifies what is in the food we are eating so people can make the choice.” Other topics posed to the candidates included health care, democracy, First Nations, Senate reform, minimum wage and supporting local agriculture. The all candidates forum was hosted by the Enderby Chamber of Commerce.

The use of wood in a popular Armstrong amenity has harvested provincial recognition. During the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver Wednesday, Armstrong was presented a merit award from Wood Works B.C. for focusing on wood construction in Memorial Park’s gazebo. Mayor Chris Pieper says the honour specifically goes to members of the Armstrong Lions Club who initiated the project. “They are being recognized for their community involvement.” Wood has been the feaChris Pieper tured material in a number of developments, including the Nor-Val Centre. “Drive around town in the last 10 years and a lot of facades feature wood,” said Pieper. Pieper believes it’s critical for local government, non-profit groups and private citizens to consider wood when building because of the key role forestry plays in the North Okanagan’s economy. “Look at the loggers, foresters, truck drivers and all of the jobs created,” he said. “It’s important to focus on something so important to our valley.” The primary award went to the ColumbiaShuswap Regional District for its new administration office in Salmon Arm. Wood Works B.C. helps communities follow the Wood First Act, which requires provincially funded buildings to feature wood as the primary construction material within the B.C. Building Code. “Local governments in B.C. are increasingly embracing wood in their projects as recognition of B.C.’s rich forestry history while fulfilling their desire to reflect community values as they support local labour and materials during construction,” said Lynn Embury-Williams, with Wood Works. “We salute these winning communities for further advancing wood use in design and building, and leading us to a more sustainable future,” she concluded.”

The scale of caring is being tipped even further as the need to feed is filled by local residents. Following Saturday’s B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive, donations continue to pour in. “I personally received about another 50 to 60 calls from residents here in Vernon (between Saturday night and Tuesday morning) who didn’t end up putting anything out on Saturday morning, but still wanted to make a donation,” said Uriah Kane, executive director of the Vernon chapter. As a result, a couple of apple bins have been set up at the Salvation Army (behind Staples), for those wishing to help stock the shelves. “I was at the food bank (Tuesday), and they confirmed they’ve had a bunch of people dropping off bags, which is awesome.” Final totals for the food drive are adding up to an excess of 25,000 pounds. Those numbers are added to additional efforts last week, Stuff the Bus which raised more than 8,000 pounds and Making a Dent in Hunger which collected 2,400 pounds, plus $4,600 in cash donations, for a total of 35,400 pounds. “Vernon is an amazing city, especially when it comes its residents stepping up to the plate to help out the Salvation Army’s Food Bank,” said Kane. “We’re humbled by the results this year, and are very appreciative.” Across the Interior, B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive ended up collecting 106,000 pounds of food for local food banks here in the ThompsonOkanagan (including Vernon, Salmon Arm, Kelowna, Penticton, Kamloops and Merritt). “As a group here in Vernon, we ended up passing out bags and flyers to approximately 8,560 homes, with 2,266 homes providing donations,” said Kane. More than 200 volunteers made the event possible, fanning out across more than 90 different routes across the city. They put in a combined 709 volunteer hours towards the initiative to stock the food bank shelves, which were becoming quite bare prior to the drive. “We couldn’t do any of this without the tireless support and efforts of our B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive volunteers.” The support, from both volunteers and donors is adding up considerably. Two years ago the drive collected 10,200 pounds and last year approximately 16,000 pounds was raised.

“This year, our official goal was 18,000, but privately I was really hoping we’d be able to collect in excess of 20,000,” said Kane. “So, doing 24,800 pounds was pretty exciting for us at it represents more than a 35 per cent increase year-over-year.”

Key services for children will have a new home. The Vernon Women’s Transition House Society has leased the former NOCLS day centre for a future child and youth advocacy centre. “A child and youth advocacy centre is a central location where children who have been abused, sexually assaulted or witnessed a crime such as domestic violence can go to report their abuse,” said Brooke McLardy, Transition House acting executive director. “Police and child welfare workers provide team interviews so that children and youth only have to be interviewed once, reducing the amount of systemic trauma they experience. Being in a comfortable environment with supportive staff allows the child to make fuller disclosures of what has happened to them. This leads to better judicial and child protection outcomes as well as better longterm social, emotional, psychological and health outcomes for the child.” Renovations on the site are underway and a grand opening is planned for the week of Oct. 20. “The project requires volunteers to get the site ready and donations of specific items or cash are also welcome and appreciated,” said McLardy. To volunteer or donate, call 250-558-3850.

Culinary creations have bolstered support for a family experiencing medical challenges. The finale of the Chef ’s Corner Cook-Off during the Avenue Market raised $2,200 for Tony Rupp, Rupp Metalworks owner, who needs a kidney transplant. “Once word got out, tickets sold out within 24 hours,” said Lara Konkin, with the Downtown Vernon Association. “The support from the community was absolutely amazing.” Lara Konkin Ticket holders were treated to a three-course meal prepared by Billy Sanderson (Gumtree Catering/Olive Us), Kristina Sidorczuk (Eatology), Jennifer Innis (Masterchef Canada) and Eric Wisse (Station BBQ). The food was complimented by beverages from Edge of the Earth Vineyards and BX Press Cidery. As the evening progressed, one chef was eliminated at each course, leaving only two chefs standing during the dessert course. Sanderson and Sidorczuk had only 40 minutes to prepare their final course to impress the judges to become the ultimate winner. “They both knocked it out of the park with their desserts. It really was a battle right to the very end,” said Konkin. “All of the courses were outstanding. The judges had their work cut out for them. It would have been really hard but delicious at the same time.” Judges had the final vote, with Anderson coming out as the winner. “The DVA Chefs Corner Cook-Off was a fantastic community involved event for spectators to catch a live glimpse into the fast-paced culinary industry,” he said. “Being able to come out with the overall ultimate final win with my sous chef Stacey Lee-Scott made the outrageous circumstances of the evening something I will cherish and remember for a very, very long time.”

Bomba built for football shrine KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
The second time Gerry Bomba was caught smoking by his high school football coach, he finally learned his lesson. “The coach made me run the field with a blocking bag on my head,” laughed Bomba. “I couldn’t believe how long that field was. He told me if I got caught again, I’d get suspended. I quit smoking.” Bomba, a retired RCMP member, was an acrobatic left guard with the Winnipeg Tec-Voc Hornets who won the school’s first city high school title in 1957 and then repeated as champions the following season and added the provincial crown. The Hornets were inducted into the Football Manitoba Hall of Fame at an August ceremony at the Viscount Gort Hotel in Winnipeg. “When I was in Grade 11, we had a bigger line than the (CFL Winnipeg Blue) Bombers so my Grade 12 year was pretty special because nobody expected us to win,” said Bomba, 76, who resides in the Quail Run area of Vernon with his high school sweetheart/wife Marion. The smiling 5-foot-10 Bomba was packing 191 pounds of muscle in high school. He wore No. 83 for the Hornets. “I was a wrestler at the YMCA and I was a pretty good diver in wrestling so I could dive and make a tackle in football.” The Hornets defeated the Daniel McIntyre Collegiate Institute Maroons in both title games. “They used to kill us in seasons before so it was a surprise when we beat them. We won by a safety touch. We had an excellent coaching staff and the players are still like a brotherhood. I counted 16 guys off our team at the hall of fame ceremony. We had lots of laughs.” Teammate Bob Kuryk was there. He was an allstar in eight seasons with the St. Vital Bulldogs that won the Canadian intermediate championship in 1962 and the senior title in 1968 and 1969. In addition to Kuryk, the Hornets’ lineup included quarterback Bud Ulrich and lineman Bernie Novak. Both later became officials. Ulrich, a CFL referee, was inducted into the provincial shrine in 2010 and Novak into the Winnipeg High School Football Hall in 2009. Novak attended the media conference wearing his Tec Voc team jacket, which was more than a little snug.
“Bud was also a very strong athlete in hockey. He could run and had a pretty good arm,” said Bomba. “He also refereed hockey and he wrote a book called Cracked Ice which I’m just about finished reading.” Bomba belonged to the YMCA weightlifting club, where he also excelled in wrestling and did some boxing. He set a city record for deadlifting 450 pounds in squats. At 18, he was the youngest wrestler named to Team Canada. He was measured for a uniform prior to the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games Games in Cardiff, Wales but never got the chance to compete. “The Ontario champion, a guy named Bob Steckle, was a farmer and he couldn’t go, maybe because he had to work. They ended up only sending two divisions (Bomba was a light heavyweight) because they didn’t want to spend the money.” Bomba wrestled into his early 30s while serving the RCMP in 13 places, including his first post in Vernon. He also worked in Williams Lake and Maple Ridge. “I wrestled the Pacific Northwest champion once at the PNE (Agridome),” chuckled Bomba. “I missed making my weight by four pounds so had to fight a heavyweight who was 270. The guy who wrestled him before me was also 270 and he lasted 15 seconds. I lasted four rounds and won on points. I had a plan to run him around the ring, but he was just as fast as me.” He played one exhibition game for the Junior A Winnipeg Rods and turned down offers to wrestle and/or play university football at North Dakota, Kansas and Missouri–Kansas City Born in the Ukraine, Bomba’s father was a carpenter and his mother a bookkeeper. His father’s work inspired him in high school. “I took drafting in school and I built and designed two of my houses and some for friends.” Bomba was the first from Tec-Voc to join the police force, followed by teammate and good buddy Don Marchand. Eight knee surgeries later and Bomba stays fit with a gym in his basement. He also does some trout fishing and boating. Bomba and his wife, Marion, have two sons, Mark, of Langley, and Matt, of Vernon, both active in sports.

Riley MacGillivray of the VSS junior Panthers holds onto the ball as Nick Berry of the Valleyview Vikings goes in for the tackle in Junior Varsity football play Wednesday at VSS.
Defensively, the Vernon Junior Panthers matched the physical Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops blow for blow. Offensively, the Vikings had trouble with the Cats’ running game. The Panthers ran their way to a 24-6 victory over Valleyview in exhibition Junior Varsity football action Wednesday at VSS. After a back-and-forth scoreless first quarter, the much tougher Junior Panthers started to wear down the Vikes. Sam Knox took an early second quarter hand-off and ran it 54 yards for the first score of the game. Quarterback Dylan Huber and tight end Dakota Becker hooked up for the two-point convert to make it 8-0 at half. After Knox and fellow running back Charles Lemay went out with injuries
early in the second half, Brad Hladik took over, running for 146 yards and two touchdowns. Both TDs were successfully converted on pass plays from Huber to Jaden Steinke and again to Becker. “Our defence dominated the Kamloops squad, allowing only 50 yards of total offence on the day,” said Panthers head coach Ed Huber. “Defensive coordinator Tim Thorpe was extremely pleased with the physical play of his group.” Leading the way for VSS on defence was middle linebacker Garrett Black Thomas with 12 tackles. Defensive end Tyler Deboer added seven tackles and one QB sack while fellow end Rhys Larsen made eight tackles. The Panthers start regular season play Tuesday, Oct. 6, against their crosstown rivals, Seaton Sonics.

A few Fulton Maroons got up close and personal with the new Greater Vernon Athletics Park Wednesday after school. They ran a few routes, caught a few balls and basically got used to the turf as they prepare for the first high school Friday Night Under the Lights game (6:00) in Vernon history. Fulton, an AA school, battles the AAA Salmon Arm Golds in the Friday night special. “It’s a lot flatter than our field (Grahame Park) which is better,” said Fulton starting safety, 17-yearold Kobe Romanovitch. “It’s nice.” The Maroons are eager for success before what is expected to be a large crowd at the American-like high school stadium. “Especially playing the first game, hopefully we get the W,” said Maroon starting linebacker/fullback Colton Annis. The Golds dispatched the Westsyde Blue Wave 32-2 in exhibition play under the Friday night lights at the Salmon Arm Savings & Credit Union Sports Complex. Runningback Jase Roberts racked up 103 rushing yards and two touchdowns for the AAA Golds. Sage King is their leader on defence. Fulton head coach Mike Scheller has watched game film and knows what his team can expect. “They are big up front and that could give us some problems,” said Scheller. “They run the ball well and their tailback #44 (Roberts) is a player. He has burst and toughness. Their offence is a basic ace and slot I team, so that is basic high school football.
Defensively, they look solid and run a 4-4, zone defence scheme.” Scheller said his players and coaches are stoked about playing a night game. “It will be a great and proud experience for us. I have been involved in football in this town since the 1980s as a player and coaching since then. It is awesome to have a stadium with lights in our town and it looks absolutely great.” Ike Olson starts at quarterback and defensive end, while Caden Doyle is at tailback and Jeff Han and Koalden Gudeit-Oaken are the wide receivers. Cole Hunter lines up at tight end. Offensive tackles are Anthony Prince and J.J. Heaton, while the startings guards are Andrew Goldenthal and Issiah Foureyes. Centre is Quinn Miller. On defence, Goldenthal, Prince and Heaton will be backs, Foureyes starts at inside linebacker and Doyle and Bhupi Banga are on the line. Nate Banga and Ethan Eisenhauer patrol the corners. n The Vernon Magnums iced the host West Kelowna Tiger Cats 24-0 in Atom football Sunday. Reid Williamson started things off with a 30-yard TD in the first quarter and proceeded to run a total of 85 yards for two more scores. Magnum quarterback Owen Ranger also scampered for a 45-yard TD and finished with 80 rushing yards. Also contributing to Magnums offence was Seth Holte (30 yards), Morgan Hackman (15), and Issaiah Grant (10). The Magnums defensive line sacked the Ti-Cat QB five times, while Lochlen Kilford and Sophia Winstanley held the defensive line, making four incredible tackles and a turnover apiece.

Posse shut out Knights Morning Star Staff
Zakery Babin was in a stingy, party-spoiling mood Wednesday night. The Princeton Posse goalie made 41 saves in leading his club to a 3-0 win over the North Okanagan Knights in the Knights’ Kootenay International Junior Hockey League home opener in front of 422 fans at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. Babin, a 6-foot-4, 192-pound 18-year-old from Surrey, made 21 of his 41 saves in the second period of the penalty-filled contest on the way to his third win in four starts. He was named the Posse’s game star. Babin has stopped 119 of 124 shots this season for a 1.69 goals against average and a .960 save percentage. The Posse scored once in each period, starting
things off in the first with a powerplay goal from Thomas Cankovic at 11:30. Princeton was 1-9 with the man advantage, the Knights went 0-8 as referee Shane Hillman whistled 96 minutes in penalties on the evening, 53 of them to North Okanagan, Joshua Dickson made it 2-0 visitors early in the second, and Chad Kimmie added the final goal in the waning minutes for Princeton, who are now 2-0 against the Knights this season, 3-2 overall. Goalie Daniel Paul made 22 saves and captain Kelsey Byrne was named player of the game for North Okanagan, who fall to 1-2-0-1. The Knights host the Revelstoke Grizzlies (2-10-0) tonight at 7:30, and the Summerland Steam Sunday at 2 p.m. as North Okanagan continues a five-game home stand.

Moderately Confused
Henry David Thoreau, an author and poet who died in 1862, said, “It is not worth the while to go round the world to count the cats in Zanzibar.” I always thought that the key stat about Zanzibar is that the whole population of the world could stand on it. However, for a bridge player, this should become: It is worth the while to count as much as you can on every deal. The hard part, of course, is working out what’s critical to count. South is in three no-trump. West leads a fourth-highest club two. How should East defend?
South’s two-heart rebid was a reverse, which promised a maximum opening and that his hearts were shorter than his diamonds: 17-20 points and at least 4-5 in the red suits. East needs to count declarer’s hand distribution. West’s lead promised a fourcard suit, so South is known to have started with three clubs. Ergo, South probably has 1-4-5-3 distribution. This should point East in the right direction. At trick two, he should shift to the spade king, just in case declarer has a singleton queen. Since East has diamonds under control, his side should be able to win five tricks before South collects nine. Even if West has the club king-jack, that
suit can wait. With the given layout, that’s exactly how the deal works out. Declarer ducks a couple of spades, wins the third round with dummy’s ace, and tries to run the diamonds. When they don’t break, he has to dislodge the club king to get out for down one.

Standup paddle festival a classic
BANNISTER HONDA “A Family Business, with Family Values ” bannisterhonda.com
Morning Star Staff
The venue draws them, and they in turn help the keep the venue looking spectacular. The sixth annual Kalamalka Classic SUP Festival on Labour Day weekend, Canada’s largest gathering of paddleboarders, raised $2,119 for the Society for the Protection of Kalamalka Lake. More than 230 paddlers took part in this year’s festival, which featured events for all ages and skill levels. Kicking off the festival on Saturday was the Eagle Dash Recreational Race that served as a great way to try SUP racing for the first time or as a warm-up for the rest of the day’s events. Next up was the short-course race, dubbed keiki holo, for the kids. Divided into age categories, the kids took off from the beach and paddled around a short course for awards and prizes. The featured event was the spectatorfriendly wikiholo shortcourse, a format that started with a sprint from the beach around a buoy-riddled course and back to the beach. Peter Allen, of Vancouver, and Carmen Merkel, of North Vancouver, won the open divisions. “This is the best event of the year,” said Allen, who races all over the province. “I’ve raced at all kinds of events around B.C. and this one is our favourite.” His thoughts were echoed by new and returning participants. “This is our first year at the festival and we love it,” said Merkel. “We didn’t know what to expect but we are so stoked to be here.” On Sunday, it was the marquee event, the Kalamalka Crossing, a 10-mile journey across the full length of Kalamalka Lake. More than 165 paddlers between the ages of 11 and 69 departed from Oyama and finished their journey on the shores of Kal Beach

union of white ranchers and native women who, along with their “mixed-race� children, formed almost the entire population of the valley. These native wives were an important part of the ranching community and, until the arrival of “civilization,� were accepted by everyone. One such woman was Lucy, a member of the Similkameen nation, who married Frank Richter. Joseph Richter, one of her five sons, remembered her contribution to the family: “When I was little, coal oil was brought 70 miles from Hope on the backs of horses. It was used sparingly. My mother made candles in a special mould and after the cotton wick was threaded, it was filled with our own tallow. She made soap from waste fat and lye. Some of our cloth-

happy one but like most, not without its ups and downs. The story is told of the time Frank Richter was struggling to cross the Similkameen River, at near flood state, and began to flounder in the strong current. Lucy picked up a fence rail and extended it to him so she could pull him safely to shore. Once he regained solid ground, Lucy used the fence rail to beat him soundly for risking his life unnecessarily. Frank Richter, probably because he was the biggest rancher in the Similkameen, stayed with his wife, Lucy, for many years. But eventually, even he succumbed to the pressure, which we might now call a mid-life crisis, by marrying a 17-year-old white woman, Florence Louden, in 1894 when he was 56-years-old. According to Louden’s brother, Richard, however, Richter did not discard Lucy completely: “Immediately after his marriage to my sister, Richter established a home for Lucy and provided for her as long as she lived. She never wanted for anything. Lucy died in 1903 or 1904 in the cabin she lived in on the original Richter Ranch.� Ken Mather is a Spallumcheen author. He can be reached through www.kenmather.com.

Pain free in 2 weeks. This is what happened to me personally. I tried drugs, acupuncture, magnets and many other methods. Finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. It gave me the idea that I could help thousands of the 5 million men and women suffering daily in Canada with the worst pain on earth to have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle. <For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage #1 spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night with 3 bottles costing less than $100. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON. <Cancelled knee replacement. 1 was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK. <At first I was skeptical. I gradually noticed an improvement. Then I took another brand. I was surprised having so much pain again. Eventually I realized that I needed to re-order Bell. Found relief again. Marie Ciraulo, 72, Oakland, CA. <Many people on our website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night” Rheumatoid arthritis in joints down 90%, same for my sister…Also guaranteed for sciatica. Hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

Keeping You Comfy, No Matter The Season
Student details missing TOM FLETCHER Black Press
Education ministry staff have searched in vain since this summer to locate a backup hard drive containing B.C. and Yukon student information from 1986 to 2009. The computer memory disk contains 3.4 million public school education records, including names, postal codes, grades and personal education numbers. Citizens’ Services Minister Amrik Virk said there is no evidence the information has been taken or misused. After a lengthy physical search of a secure warehouse in Victoria turned up nothing, ministry electronic records continue to be searched to see if the hard drive was moved or destroyed. Virk said there were two unencrypted backup hard drives cre-

ated in 2011, contrary to ministry information and privacy rules. Information and privacy commissioner Elizabeth Denham has been notified and is investigating. “There’s no doubt that a mistake was made, first in how the hard drive was created, and secondly, how it was stored,” Virk said. “This should not have happened.” The drive also more than 9,000 personal education numbers for children in government care, connected to information such as health and behaviour issues. This sensitive personal information could be connected to names by comparing
the personal education numbers to names through the larger data file. NDP education critic Rob Fleming said Virk is coming forward after several weeks because he doesn’t believe the missing hard drive will be found. “For government to admit this has happened is not good enough,” Fleming said. “They have to tell us how and why it happened, and the minister specifically has to say why he failed to do his job.” The government has set up a phone contact centre through Service BC for specific inquiries about the data breach. The centre is open 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday

The Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre starts its 14th annual presenting season with a show for everyone
Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
It may be the end of summer, but that doesn’t mean the fun has to end. Fall marks the beginning of the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre Society’s 14th annual season of shows, and it starts with two of Canada’s favourite entertainers. Internationally renowned boogie woogie pianist Michael Kaeshammer and beloved children’s performer Fred Penner kick off an exciting season of dance, theatre, kids performances and special presentations. Taking the stage for the centre’s 14th annual Birthday Bash, Oct. 3, is Kaeshammer, who got his start playing in B.C.’s capital of Victoria and is now considered Canada’s triple-threat combo of piano virtuosity, vocal ability and charisma. “Michael Kaeshammer is not just a great musician, he’s a great showman and an artist you have to see live with his boogie woogie theatrics,” said Erin Kennedy, the Performing Arts Centre’s artistic director. On stage the very next morning, Oct. 4, is Penner, who has just come off hosting the Polaris Music Prize and is best known for his songs The Cat Came Back and Sandwiches, as well as for hosting his own TV show, Fred Penner’s Place, from 1985 to 1997. “He is a favourite of my childhood. I remember being gunned on Halloween candy and rockin’ to The Cat Came Back when I was a kid,” laughed Kennedy. “His performance is great for all ages.” Penner kicks off the Performing Arts Centre’s kids series, which also features Portland’s Tears of Joy Theatre production of The Reluctant Dragon, Jan, 23. “The show, told through puppets and live actors, is about a dragon who loves poetry and is befriended by a young boy from a town that fears the dragon,” said Kennedy. Vancouver’s Axis Theatre (producers of the beloved action-packed masked comedy The Number 14) returns to Vernon March 13 with its new production Hamelin, loosely based on the tale of the Pied Piper “It has singing and dancing rats and is a musical for the whole family,” said Kennedy.

Beloved children’s entertainer Fred Penner opens the Performing Arts Centre’s kids series Oct. 4. On April 17, another Portland-based theatre company, with a Canadian connection, WonderHeads, who presented Grim and Fischer in Vernon last year, are back with a new show, The Middle of Everywhere, about a man and a child who go on adventures through space and time - told by actors using full face masks. The theatre series starts Oct. 20 with Six Guitars, which stars performer Chase Padgett as six different guitar players, each with his own distinct voice, views, and musical style (blues, jazz, rock, classical, folk, and country). “He seemingly moves from one character to another, you think it’s six people doing the show,” said Kennedy. Fans of Leonard Cohen will be lining up to see Vancouver’s Firehall Arts Centre’s acclaimed production of Chelsea Hotel, featuring a montage of Cohen’s songs and stories, Nov. 18. Docu-drama Seeds, Feb. 6, stars actor Eric Peterson, best known as grumpy and hilarious Oscar from TV show Corner Gas, as Percy Schmeiser and follows the Saskatchewan canola farmer who fought agricultural biotechnology company Monsanto when it accused him of patent infringement and of intentionally growing its genetically modified plants.

Eric Peterson (Corner Gas, Street Legal) stars as Percy Schmeiser in Porte Parole’s production of Seeds Feb. 6. The provocative docu-drama is part of the centre’s theatre series. On Feb. 25, the touring adaptation of the acclaimed opera about bullying, Stickboy, will make its Vernon debut. Written by world renowned spoken word artist and Okanagan resident Shane Koyczan and directed by Rachel Peake (who directed last winter’s Caravan Farm Theatre production), the centre will also hold a special performance of the show for high school students. Returning to the stage is the hit show A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline, March 9. The Western Canada Theatre, Thousand Islands Playhouse coproduction follows the legendary country and western music sensation
as she climbs to stardom from small town Virginia to Carnegie Hall. New York’s renowned Paul Taylor Dance Company, named after its founder who has been at the forefront of the American modern dance movement, starts off the centre’s dance series Nov. 10. “Alberta Ballet was bringing the 16-member company to Calgary and Edmonton, so we convinced them to come here,” said Kennedy. Those who missed the treasured Christmas-time favourite The Nutcracker on the Vernon stage last year can rejoice as Ballet Victoria is bringing its version of the beloved Tchaikovsky ballet to the centre Dec. 19 for two performances. Another favourite classic ballet floats to the stage when Ballet Jörgen Canada (Swan Lake, Romeo and Juliet) presents Sleeping Beauty Feb. 9. And returning to the Vernon stage is the Okanagan’s only professional dance company, Ballet Kelowna, now under the direction of Simone Orlando, who will perform new works March 5. Also returning is Vancouver’s 605 Collective with its new contemporary dance, vital few, April 16. The Performing Arts Centre will also host dance company Out Innerspace for a special dance residency the first two weeks of January. “They are the coolest, new cutting-edge dance company out of Vancouver and will be using our stage, lighting and sound to work on their newest production,” said Kennedy.

Scorch Trials
homas (Dylan O’Brien) and his Maze Runners, having escaped the maze, must cross a desolate landscape, in search of safety and sanctuary. Those in control, known as WCKD, want to harvest the Maze Taylor and Howe Runner’s blood, seeking the immunity contained within, hoping to create a cure for the devastating zombie-like virus that destroyed civilization. Unfortunately, WCKD must do terrible things to achieve their goals. The Right Arm is a resistance movement led by Vince (Barry Pepper) who works against WCKD. When Thomas finds The Right Arm, the real resistance begins, but at what cost? We say, “It goes on a bit.” TAYLOR: Readers may recall myself and Mr. Howe not really liking the first Maze Runner film because it provided no answers, no point, and was generally a fine film about a silly story. The Scorch Trials continues in this vein. The characters don’t know who they are, where they are, what they’re doing or why. They move from chase scene to fight scene expressing their desire to know more about what is happening. Then, when they start to get an impression of a story, they discover it’s not really that way

Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) walks past a strip of wallpaper in Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials. after all. Yes, this second installment provides more information than we had in the first, but there’s still a whole lotta ‘splaining to do. HOWE: Well, it is becoming a little clearer. In fact I don’t really mind this series so far; it has some nice little touches. For example, in the first episode, they were fighting what looked like robotic Chinese dragon things. This time out they are up against zombies out in the desert. It’s a little different than The Hunger Games and the Divergent series. There’s action galore and some good, yet not great special effects. But it seems to always be the same when it comes to the battle scenes. There never seems to be enough people involved; one final battle and only 40 people fighting? Come on. If there’s going to be an all-out fight to see who survives, make it big, and make it interesting at the very least. TAYLOR: I will admit to getting a bit sucked in by the end

of the film, but in fairness, that might have been relief because something was finally happening. For the most part, the film left me wanting and not in a good way. Now I have to wait for the final film to discover if their conclusions are going to be as disappointing as I expect them to be. They had better not split the final story into two films. This whole adventure should have been crammed into one good film running two hours, rather than three or four mediocre hours, totalling six or eight hours. That’s ridiculous. Unfortunately, now they’re committed. Now they’ll have to finish it. Oh well. There is always hope. HOWE: Well let’s just keep our fingers and toes crossed then that they don’t make the final chapter a two-parter. - Taylor gives Make Runner: The Scorch Trials 2 italicized colons out of 5. - Howe gives it 3 water canteens out of 5.

Stage is set for season Continued from B1 Besides Kaeshammer, the centre is holding special presentations including An Evening of Wonders with Vancouver illusionist Vitaly Oct. 23. “He does stuff that a lot of other magicians don’t know how he does it,” said Kennedy. CBC darlings and Juno winning all-female trio The Good Lovelies play the centre’s only on-stage concert, Nov. 15. The 19-plus show is licensed with a bar available in the Marie Fleming Hall, however, attendees can now take their drinks back to their seats to enjoy the show, said Kennedy. Also returning is the 12th annual I am Woman, Hear Me Laff celebration on International Women’s Day March 8. This year’s comedy extravaganza will be headlined by news-making comic Jen Grant. Feats of human strength and bravery will be demonstrated with the arrival of Cirque Alfonse and its family show Timber April 5. “Timber is set in 1940s before logging became mechanized and features men (all sporting beards) who juggle axes and do other lumberjack feats. The show is scored by a live band playing FrenchCanadian folk music,” said Kennedy. Morning Melodies returns to the Marie Fleming Hall on selected Tuesday mornings with four special chamber music concerts featuring acclaimed classical performers: tenor Benjamin Butterfield (Oct. 6), violinist Peter Krysa (Nov. 3), violist Nicolò Eugelmi and pianist Sarah Hagen (May 10).
Jen Grant The Performing Arts Centre Society will also host, not one, but two camps for children this coming year. Back next July will be Missoula Children’s
Theatre, but first will be the inaugural Rock Camp on the May long weekend. Taught by band Speed Control out of Whitehorse, the camp is sponsored by Yamaha so kids can plug in to an instrument and rock out.

Desert rock from Mali Songhoy Blues: Music in Exile
B
amako, Mali-based, four-piece “desert rock” group Songhoy Blues raises its trance rhythms and bluesy hooks in defiance on Music in Exile. The band, displaced by Islamist extremists and their prohibitive presence (music is “haram” and a sin) and threats of violence, congregated in the south of the country to play music and carry on. In a region of West Africa considered a point of origin for the forms that led to field holDean Gordon-Smith lers, spirituals, blues, jazz and eventually rock, Songhoy Blues is getting back some cross Atlantic influence. The group’s interpretation is energizing and fresh. The opening track, Soubour, sounds like tightly focussed swamp rock. When guitarist Garba Touré overdrives his amplifier, echoes of Mississippi hill country riffs come crunching through. Nick is a morphing of Hill Country and Chicago blues styles, driven with the relentless pulse of drummer Nathanael Dembele. The band’s sound is that of a long-lost cousin of rock and roll that has surfaced, bringing an alternate take on the early form. Al Huesidi Terei is a skip-beat riff with a swing beat and a Malian chorus. The effect of the song is mood altering and exhilarating – another way to hear rock music. Production is crisp and the song
retains clarity and gains impact when the volume is dimed. The band are masters of the looped hook and they use the technique to create flowing grooves and textural foundations for ballad tracks (Jolie). Music in Exile is a record of discovery (or rediscovery) of rock-based sounds being reinterpreted with Malian folk chants, trance rhythms, proto-blues sensibility and African arpeggios. The music flows at times sounding like an unfiltered rock and roll Graceland, minus the stylistic colonialism (Wayei) – a new chapter of desert rock from the heartland.

Church brings in ‘Messy’ fun All Saints Anglican Church welcomes all ages to its first Messy Church, where crafts, music, story-telling and worship wrap up with a hot meal Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff
For parents who are busy working, rushing their children to after-school activities, making dinner and supervising homework, finding time for a spiritual life can be something that gets overlooked. That’s where Messy Church comes in. It’s an opportunity for people of all ages to be together doing crafts and games, sharing in worship and eating dinner together. It’s a new event at All Saints Anglican Church in Vernon, with the first one taking place Oct. 2 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The Rev. Jane Bourcet hopes it will be a fun and relaxed way for families to wind down at the end of a busy week and to take part in worship at a time that may be more convenient than a Sunday morning. “We recognized that for busy working families, it is impossible to give up that one morning of your week that you don’t have to rush in order for families to learn about their faith, to experience God’s place in their life, so there’s got to be a time that is not Sunday morning,” she said. “We decided Friday was the time to do it — it’s after school, Mom is tired and ready for a free meal by the end of the week. “People know that their children need to be developed in their thinking skills, and their physical skills, but where do they develop their spiritual skills in a community of faith?” Messy Church got its start in England in 2004, when a group at St. Wilfrid’s near Portsmouth were frustrated because, as a church, they were hardly reaching any children with God’s story. They decided to try to do something for all ages together, from a desire to help families to grow together in their walk of faith. “This has had a huge impact in Europe and in some cases has kept parishes going, and it’s now spread across North America,” said Bourcet. Closer to home, the program has been running at St. Andrew’s in Kelowna for the past three years, with several All Saints families making the trip south to take part.

The Rev. Jane Bourcet (left) and Jackie Graham, with daughter Lexie, one, welcome families with children of all ages to Messy Church, a new event at All Saints Anglican Church, with the first one taking place Oct. 2 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. “They were amazingly generous in inviting our families to see if it’s something we wanted to do here,” said Bourcet. “We have some young families in our parish, but we also recognize that many families outside of the faith don’t know the Christian story — for many people, Christmas is about Santa, presents and a turkey dinner, while Easter is all about the bunny, chocolate eggs and another big dinner.” For Jackie Graham, making the trek to Kelowna with her husband and three young children was a chance for the five of them to spend time together on a Friday evening. “It just seemed like a good family event, something we can all do as a family, and we were warmly received,” she said. “It was great because there were different activities for all ages and interests — so for my son Daniel, who can be shy, there was a nice quiet area where he could spend time. There were craft stations for all ages that met everyone’s needs.” Graham said she also appreciated the mix of ages, with older children happily doing crafts with her youngsters.
“And it was neat to see the message getting to kids in a kid-friendly way,” she said. Bourcet said the goal of Messy Church is not to grow the main church, or for those families to begin attending Sunday services — though they are most welcome to do so — rather, it’s a chance for participants to form their own community. “We are about developing a Messy Church community, where people develop relationships and become their own community and there is no expectation that people will turn up on Sunday because they have been to Messy Church,” she said. “We are going to grow into it because we are just starting out. But by keeping it simple and engaging, it can appeal to all ages. Even if you’re an adult and you haven’t been involved in a faith community, this may be all new to you and that’s OK.” While there is no expectation of Sunday attendance, participants at Messy Church will be informed about special services, such as October’s annual blessing of the animals service for the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, where people are welcome to bring their pets for a blessing.
“It’s more about the experience,” said Bourcet. “It’s a gift to families and we’ve heard from the volunteers at St. Andrews that they get so much out of it, that it’s a blast and some of the older folks who perhaps have grandchildren who don’t live here, they enjoy spending time with the kids.” All Saints’ first Messy Church is Oct. 2 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Children need to be accompanied by an adult, and parents need to be accompanied by a child. Arrive when you can so you can have plenty of time to explore the crafts and games. A simple worship will follow at 6 p.m. to hear the bible story for the evening, sing and pray. Dinner is served at about 6:30 p.m., with everything wrapped up by 7 p.m. There is no charge, but Bourcet would like to know how many are coming to allow for meal planning, so please RSVP to allsaintsvernon@telus.net. All Saints Anglican Church is at 320527th St., across from Beairsto school. The parking lot for the church is on 26th Street and entrance is through the double glass doors.

be put to bed before the snow arrives. This year I started early and some of the beds are already cleaned up and ready for spring. The fact that I have had enough of all the heat and the watering might have helped a bit. Our yard is not flat and it makes it hard sometimes to water. The water is not absorbed enough so I have been mulching with grass clippings all summer and it seems to help. In order to make it more efficient, some plants are being moved. I tried to transplant some in large pots and

Special thanks to Pam Ferens for donating and operating a sound system & music for several hours … a huge improvement over prior years! Also thanks to the Eagles Lodge for their very generous donation to help kick off our annual appeal. Despite the government throwing obstacles in our path (a Gaming License for our 50/50 draw, and for our door prize draws which all take place in one spot over about one hour; plus having to get a Special Event Permit to group ride on the highway which requires an Insurance Policy that only covers the Department of Highways Liability for the day; plus the RCMP declining to deflect traffic as we enter the highway and also forbidding us to have outriders halting cross traffic for everyone’s safety) we still had a very successful day for the 27th year and looking forward to doing it again next year. It’s for the needy kids, people!! — Santa Rick and The Elves These comments do not apply only to Vernon but to all the Toy Runs in the Province of BC.

sink the pots in the banks. This way I can apply the water to the pots and it sinks slowly right down to the roots. I can see the difference already in them. I think that it should be an advantage in the spring as some plants can be started early and kept a bit longer in the greenhouse without having to transplant again. Then when the time is right, the pots can be put in the ground without disturbing the roots again. At the end of July, some of the peas I was
drying on the vines for seed saving fell on the ground as I was picking the pods. Some of them germinated and started growing. I transplanted them carefully along the trellis and last Sunday, I picked some fresh pods. Next year, I will plant a second crop towards the end of July and should harvest them in the fall. Sometimes instead of pulling the vines out of the ground, they can be cut to the first nodes and will send shoots again. The same thing can be done for bush beans. After the first harvest, cut down but leave the bottom stems intact and you can get another crop. The plant will grow new stems and leaves and will bloom and produce again. For many years I have been growing
“Long Keeper” tomatoes. They are orangered, and ripen from the inside out. Usually, you pick them late September or before the very cold nights and leave them in the basement or wherever you have a cool room that does not freeze. As you need them, just bring a few to the kitchen and they will finish ripening. After picking in October one year, I used the last of them on May 1. The only problem with them this year is that they are almost all ripe already due to the early heat of the summer. I will store them and see what happens. Even the large heirloom tomatoes I grew this year that are supposed to ripen in 80 to 90 days were ready in midAugust. Some of the trees
are starting to lose their leaves already. Some of them have been stressed by the heat and the dry weather we had. Make sure you water your trees and shrubs deeply as we are entering fall. Maybe we will have lots of rain in the next few weeks but the ground is so dry that it will need more than a few buckets to prepare them for winter. With fresh grass clippings and the shredding from my garden plants and kitchen scraps, my compost heated to 150 degrees F within two days. This is not a little pile but averages about 25 to 30 gallons of composting material. I wrote this in the summer and you will read it in the fall.

“Support groups, resources, a newsletter and an annual retreat help the bereaved through their time of grief in a safe and healthy way,” said Karen Bouchard, with the non-profit organization. The weekly coffee group is held each Thursday morning in room #003 in the People Place in Vernon and this
is often the first contact a newly bereaved person has with New Hope. “The monthly support group is a smaller gathering, led by volunteers who are uniquely able to come alongside and offer empathetic understanding, since each of them has experienced the loss of a spouse through death,” said Bouchard. She added that the
work of New Hope could not take place without donations from members, funeral homes and churches. New Hope is a nonprofit society with a registered charity number. An annual fundraiser helps support the operation of New Hope’s Vernon office and its monthly expenses of rent, telephone, Internet and part-time office staff. New Hope for Widows and Widowers is holding a benefit concert and silent auction Oct. 24 at 7 p.m. at Vernon Christian Fellowship, 4506-29th St. Tickets are $10 per person, available from the New Hope office and at the door. Guests will enjoy dessert, entertainment by Vernon’s Aloha Polynesian dancers, door prizes and silent auction items ranging from art, crafts, event tickets, business services, dining and more. Contact the New Hope office at 250-545-6004 or newhope.bc.ca@ gmail.com to reserve your tickets. For more information about New Hope, go to the website at www.newhope-grief. org/

For those who have been widowed, having a place to turn where others have walked the same journey can be a healing experience. New Hope for Widow/ers and Their Families is a support organization dedicated to encouraging, helping and bringing hope to widows and widowers in the North Okanagan.

Mercedes dreams sometimes come true By Keith Morgan
FRANKFURT, Germany – International auto shows have always been a veritable playground for the fantasies of car designers. The more outlandish and futuristic the concept on display the more wide-eyed showgoers become as they trudge around. The difference today is that they tend not to be wild dreams but an indication of the shape of things to come within the next couple of years. A prime example in Frankfurt is the Mercedes-Benz “Concept IAA” (Intelligent Aerodynamic Automobile). Says the prestige German brand: “It is two cars in one: an aerodynamics world champion with a Cd value of 0.19 and a four-door coupé embodying irresistible design.”

At the touch of a button, or automatically on reaching a speed of 80 km/h, the Mercedes-Benz Concept IAA performs a fascinating transformation in which the captivatingly beautiful four-door coupé turns into an aerodynamics world champion.
Keith Morgan
At the touch of a button, or automatically on reaching a speed of 80 km/h, the Mercedes-Benz “Concept IAA” (Intelligent Aerodynamic Automobile) performs a fascinating transformation in which the captivatingly beautiful four-door coupé turns into an aerodynamics world champion: eight segments extend at the rear, increasing its length by up to 390 millimetres; front flaps in the front bumper extend by 25 mm to the front and 20 mm to the rear, improving the air flow around the front end and the front wheel arches; the Active Rims alter their cupping from 55 mm to zero; and the louvre in the front bumper moves 60 mm to the rear, improving the underbody air flow.” Hard to get your head around that even when awake! Some honourable mentions. Finally, Frankfurt offers a look at the long awaited premium compact Infiniti Q30. It’s a brave move into a very competitive segment. BMW chose the show for the world premiere of MINI Clubman – our new Driveway team member Gord Scott is currently driving it in Sweden. More later. Driveway’s Zack Spencer has already driven the

It’s a good thing they didn’t learn from their first experience! They didn’t think to call a licensed RV dealer for help they could trust. Didn’t ask for a vehicle history report, like CarProof.

Licensed Dealers Beat Curbers by a Mile Deciding between buying privately or from a licensed dealer? Buying from a private seller might have one perceived benefit – lower price. But, even that can disappear when looking at the risks, especially if the private seller is actually a curber – an unlicensed dealer intentionally breaking all the rules. Unlike private sellers, licensed dealers must be transparent in their selling practices. This means they must sell vehicles in a clear and open manner while standing behind any representations they make. Dealers can’t withhold information that would cause errors in judgment about whether or not to buy the vehicle. Licenced dealers must also follow strict selling standards. Only licensed salespeople who pass a background check and a certification course are allowed to sell vehicles. Dealers must declare prior out-of-province registrations and vehicle uses (if it was a lease, rental, taxi
or emergency vehicle). Prior damage, above certain limits, must also be disclosed before purchase. And, licensed dealers are obligated to sell vehicles that meet all safety requirements and are free of unpaid liens. As part of being licensed, dealers contribute to a customer compensation fund that regularly settles eligible claims around the province. Dealers also offer extra services and savings such as financing and warranty options. And, there’s a sales tax advantage when trading-in a vehicle at a dealer. Licensed dealers make an investment in their staff, operations, reputation and their community. Curbers escape doing any of the above. And, the Vehicle Sales Authority can assist only with purchases from licensed dealers. If something goes wrong with a private sale, you’re on your own. Learn more at the vehiclesalesauthority.com.
CURBERS SELL VEHICLES THAT MAY BE UNSAFE OR STOLEN! Curbers are individuals and businesses selling vehicles for profit without a licence Curbers may get junk cars and sell them from parking lots while posing as private sellers. They advertise through local newspapers and online ads. They may not disclose the vehicle history to the buyer, hiding serious accident
damage or even a rolled back odometer. Licensed dealers are required by law to sell safe, lien-free vehicles and disclose vehicle histories. If you buy from Walt, you have none of the protections of buying from a licensed dealer.

Good hearing but trouble with conversation? A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out. A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis. Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally

The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background. Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises.
