Park attracts B.C. Games RICHARD ROLKE
Morning Star Staff
It’s a clear case of build it and they will come. During the official unveiling of the Greater Vernon Athletics Park Saturday, local officials and residents learned that Greater Vernon will host the 2017 55-Plus B.C. Games (formerly the B.C. Seniors Games). Eric Foster “It’s exciting news,” said Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, who made the announcement. When the concept of an athletics park was put before residents in 2013, the Regional District of North Okanagan promoted the ability of the community being
able to host large sports tournaments. Earlier this year, the City of Vernon bid for the Games. “It is only fitting that Vernon has been selected as the host of the 30th Games as they hosted the very first one nearly three decades ago,” said Peter Fassbender, community development minister, in a release. Beyond facilities in Greater Vernon, the Games will also be held at venues in Armstrong-Spallumcheen. The 2015 55-Plus B.C. Games in North Vancouver drew 3,277 participants in 20 activities, and Foster is confident the 2017 competition will bolster the North Okanagan economy. “It’s an event that will bring in a lot of people and they will stay in hotels and explore the community,” he said. The B.C. Senior Games Society estimates an economic impact of about $2 million.
Foster believes Vernon’s chance of a successful bid would have been limited if it wasn’t for the new athletics park next to Okanagan College. “It makes the community that more attractive for all kinds of events. We could hold world-class track in the community with this facility,” he said. Also on Saturday, it was announced that the 55-Plus B.C. Games will be held in Cranbrook/Kimberley in 2018 and Kelowna in 2019. “On behalf of our society and the 55-Plus B.C. Games, we would like to thank, and congratulate the three winning bid communities,” said Wayne Naka, B.C. Seniors Games Society president. “We will make an immense and positive impact on your communities as we transform the image and attitudes towards the 55-plus population among residents of all ages in B.C.”
Vernon RCMP believe they have one side of a scary incident at a Vernon townhouse complex. Now, they’re searching for the other side. Officers responded to a report of shots fired Wednesday morning just before 4 a.m. at a complex in the 1600 block of 43rd Avenue. “The RCMP conducted an initial investigation at the location to determine that there was a confrontation in the complex parking lot area which resulted in shots being fired,” said Vernon RCMP Sgt. David Evans. “Police are not releasing firearm calibre or number of shots at this time. There were no persons located injured from gunshot wounds.” Police arrested, and have since — Dave Evans released without charges, a number of persons from one of the townhouse units that were believed to be involved in the confrontation with another unidentified group of persons. “That second group is believed to have arrived at and departed from the location in a dark vehicle with no further description available,” said Evans. Police searched the area surrounding the complex and remained at the location until a search warrant could be executed at the townhouse unit That search was completed early Thursday evening. It is believed that the two groups were known to each other and the incident was connected to their involvement in criminal activity. “While this was not a random act of violence, it still causes us great concern as incidents like these put the general public at risk,” said Evans. The investigation into this matter is continuing and the RCMP are still trying to identify the other group of individuals involved. If you have any information that has not already been provided to investigators please contact the Vernon RCMP at 250-545-7171 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Candidates compete for youth vote RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
All four candidates wanting to represent North Okanagan-Shuswap in Ottawa insist their parties have the best strategy for young Canadians. During Friday’s youth forum at Okanagan College, the hopefuls in the Oct. 19 election were asked what the most important issue is for people ages 18 to 40, and how would they engage with youth as MP. “It’s jobs A and even for NAD A C students going to school. It’s where will they be down the road,” said Conser vative Mel Arnold of the primary concern. In terms of communicating, Arnold says he would pursue many opportunities. “Social media has taken over a big role in young people’s lives. The other way is to reach out to them. I will go to schools, colleges and workplaces.” Liberal Cindy Derkaz also believes teens and young adults are focused on the economy, jobs and skill development. “The Liberal Party has a strong plan for youth employment,” she said, adding that listening to constituents is important. “I have experience bringing people together and convening round tables. Be a part (of the process) and listen, that’s what I would do.” Green Chris George pointed to 14 per cent unemployment among youth, and stated his party would pump $1 billion into creating 40,000 jobs among people 18 to 25. “Municipalities can address their priorities in their communities. They would provide job experience and income.” To keep in touch with youth, George says he would rely on social media. Jacqui Gingras, with the NDP, told the crowd of about 180 that many youth want to stay in the Okanagan but can’t after school because of a lack of employment. “There are precarious part-time jobs students are doing to pay for education.” And Gingras says she wouldn’t rely on social media to interact with youth. “Face to face is very important. We will

Seventy Fulton students attended as part of their social studies course. conduct round tables with you.” Another question revolved around how the political parties would reduce tuition and post-secondary debt load. Derkaz stated that the average tuition has climbed 30 per cent under the Conservative government. “I’m expecting a (Liberal) platform piece on tuition,” she said, adding that students need work experience to pay for school. “The Liberal Party is committed to putting money into youth employment.” George insists the answer to rising student debt load is free tuition. “We looked at other countries and some of the most competitive countries on the planet. They have rolled post-secondary into public education,” he said. George added that the Greens would
direct $400 million a year into needs-based bursaries. Gingras is calling for expanded funding grants for students and reduced tuition. “As tuition goes up, support for learning goes down,” she said. “For students to pay off debt, it becomes increasingly difficult.” Beyond paying for classes, Gingras says students face other hurdles, including affordable housing and transportation. Arnold defended the Conservative government’s record, by stating that interest on short-term loans has been eliminated while students are studying. He also said the federal contribution to education savings plans has increased. “Those are the things that help people plan ahead to cover costs.”
While many of the questions revolved around young adults, others focused on child poverty, the Senate, protecting water and international trade deals. One resident wanted to know if the candidates would bring back the long-form census and retain scientific reports and records. “We will try to rebuild some of the libraries that have been destroyed,” said Gingras of documents held by federal departments. “If we are not basing social policy on research, what are we basing it on?” George made a push for legislation that preserves documents and reports on a variety of topics. “This was information generated by tax dollars and we’ve allowed it to be put into dumpsters,” he said. However, Arnold insists the government didn’t arbitrarily eliminate documents. “Much of this information was offered to others and no one wanted it,” he said, adding that rather than spending tax dollars to maintain the files, they were disposed of. “Each of us has to clean out our homes of things that are not usable.” Derkaz slammed the Conservative government for doing away with the long-form census. “By not collecting evidence, small communities won’t have relevant information to make health care, education and infrastructure decisions,” she said. ‘“I’d rather be paying for that than partisan advertisements.” The forum Friday was hosted by JCI Vernon, Okanagan College’s student association and the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce.

Minister challenged RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Some of the area’s most contentious transportation issues have been taken straight to the top. Regional District of North Okanagan officials met with Transportation Minister Todd Stone at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention to discuss Stickle, Jim Garlick Bernie and Cosens Bay roads. “He listened to us,” said Jim Garlick, director and Coldstream mayor, adding that no firm commitments were made. The ministry has applied for a 20-metre right-of-way along Cosens Bay Road in Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park. While the ministry insists the rightof-way is needed to ensure motorist safety, Coldstream and RDNO have suggested the plan would negatively impact the park’s integrity and could lead to utilities being extended to homes south of the park. Garlick says safety upgrades could occur under existing B.C. Parks rules without removing a right-of-way
from the park. “Rather than a broad brush, be specific where the work is needed,” he said. “We need to preserve the park and follow the wishes of the majority of the people (opposed to the right-ofway).” RDNO representatives also spoke to Stone about the intersection at Stickle Road and Highway 97. “(Ministry ) staff is close to coming back with version three,” said director Bob Fleming referring to two proposals the ministry had shot down by the public. While many residents want a traffic signal at the intersection, the ministry is currently looking at extending 20th Street from Rona to Vernon Volkswagen to create another link between Stickle Road and Vernon. The other topic discussed was Highway 97 and Birnie Road, which leads to the Greater Vernon landfill. The ministry has proposed a rightin, right-out model that would force vehicles wanting to return to Vernon to travel south to Kalamalka Lakeview Drive to turn around. “Their proposal is not satisfactory and needs to be revisited,” said Fleming. The regional district has suggested an overpass be constructed at Birnie Road.

Electoral boundary unchanged RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Public pressure has forced the B.C. Boundaries Commission to back off a controversial plan to split Greater Vernon. In its final report to the Legislature, the commission has decided not to remove the Swan Lake area and a portion of the BX from VernonMonashee and place Mike Macnabb it in the Shuswap constituency. “They listened to us and that’s a good news story,” said Bob Fleming, BX-Swan Lake regional district director. The commission made the proposal earlier this year as a way of achieving
population equity among the two provincial constituencies. However, it generated considerable resistance from community leaders and the public. “If the MLA had become Shuswap, residents would have had to drive up to the constituency office in Salmon Arm,” said Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director. It was pointed out to the commission that Swan Lake and the BX are tied in to a number of services with the rest of Greater Vernon, and having two MLAs could make it challenging for the regional district to lobby for support. “It’s about good representation and that’s not good representation,” said Macnabb. The proposed electoral area district boundary would have followed the Vernon municipal boundary around Swan Lake and Silver Star Foothills to the Spallumcheen boundary.
The Swan Lake commercial corridor along Highway 97 would have joined the Shuswap constituency as would Old Kamloops Road (except for the Blue Jay subdivision). Silver Star Road would have been the boundary between the two constituencies. “I felt it would create confusion and impede voter turnout,” said Fleming. In its final report, the B.C. Electoral Area stated that it’s proposal to move Swan Lake and part of the BX into the Shuswap was a result of needing to balance the number of voters in the constituencies. “However, after consideration of the responses to our proposals and in consideration that the population difference in the two electoral districts is only 10 per cent, we decided to revisit this decision and propose no change to the existing boundaries in this area.”

delayed because staff positions within the ministry have changed. “There are new deputy ministers, etc. We have things before them, so what happens now?” he said. Greater Vernon’s goal is to replace the 78-year-old Civic Arena, which requires significant upgrades. While at UBCM in Vancouver, local officials pursued a number of other issues with provincial ministers and municipal counterparts. “You try and get your point across and they have been very receptive,” said Mund, who was at his first UBCM as Vernon’s mayor. “If we get some results back, it will show that it worked. I have been making lots

You hear about other people’s problems and their solutions.” RDNO met with Education Minister Mike Bernier over the Vernon School District’s reduction of busing in Cherryville and rural Lumby. “The ministry agreed that there are problems but it’s up to school districts to set their budget,” said director Rick Fairbairn, adding that a provincial committee will look at rural busing. Okanagan Basin Water Board also met with the Ministry of Environment to push for increased action to stop invasive mussels from appearing in local lakes. “We were reassured
that they are looking at this as a priority,” said Fairbairn.

Zeolkowski says there was no choice but to quit shift work at a local business because of constantly needing to transport her children. “It’s too much of a hassle to find rides for them.

Green candidate Chris George says he is prepared to work with various interests if elected as MP. George lives in the Notch Hill area.
George believes in consensus Editor’s Note: This is the third in a series of profiles featuring the North OkanaganShuswap federal candidates. LACHLAN LABERE Black Press
To for m e r Conservative voters in the North-Okanagan Shuswap riding still on the fence, Chris George offers what may seem an unconventional solution: vote Green. Of course, a vote for the Green Party of Canada in the riding would be a vote for George, the party’s local candidate. Offering himself as an option for the undecided is George’s logical approach to the conundrum, based on an understanding that voters haven’t forgotten past Liberal (federally) and NDP (provincially) governments, and how he, as a Green MP, wouldn’t be encumbered by ideology or party line – that Greens can stick their necks out when needed to represent their ridings. “I can actually work together with different interests and different groups in the riding to come up with a consensus of opinion that I can then take to Ottawa to fairly represent the people here,” said George. George was selected the riding’s Green candidate in July. The Notch Hill resident is currently pursuing a bachelor of general studies, brings with him a diverse background in small business, about three decades of vol-

unteering, an affinity for information, numbers and policy, and the experience of having run as the Shuswap’s B.C. Green Party candidate in the 2013 provincial election (in which he earned 2,186 votes – 9.26 per cent of the total vote). Going farther back, George says he also used to vote for the Progressive C onser vative/S ocial Democratic parties. “My parents were both small business people, this was their political agenda and I just sort of inherited it,” said George. “They always instilled in me that voting was a right, privilege and a duty, so I’ve gone out of my way to make sure that I’ve voted in every single election that I was eligible to do so.” But George said he was never satisfied with the partisan nature of politics and the simplified paradigms of left and right-wing. It wasn’t until he heard a speech by former Green Party of Canada leader Jim Harris that George found a place to hang his hat. “He said their policy was economically conservative, socially responsible and environmentally sound, and that really struck a chord with me,” said George, who describes himself as a fiscally con-
20 15
servative person with a social conscience. George contests the notion that the Greens are a party that only says “no.” He says this is only the case to extremist positions where an unbalanced approach is being taken. He points to the tar sands for example, noting the Greens are not looking to shut them down, but to stop their expansion, and instead start putting resources into secondary industry, such as refining, not in China but on Canadian soil. “If we actually deal with that product in Edmonton, we can run it through a state-ofthe-art refinery with appropriate environmental controls and make sure those jobs for Canadians aren’t being exported,” said George. One concern for George in this election is that people will be voting strategically, driven by personality over the issues. He calls this a mistake, one to which issues surrounding climate change, economic inequality and even health care have taken a back seat. He says this way of thinking only propagates the kind of apathy that kept 33,980 eligible voters from casting a ballot in 2013. One way of changing this, he says, is to have leaders who inspire, who are willing and able to speak from the heart and without script. “I think we need to
roll back a generation, I guess, back to when people were aspirational and people actu-
ally voted what was in their hearts and kind of let the chips fall where they may.”

Against all odds
’m writing this before the Lotto Max recordbreaking draw on Friday night for $60 million so if I won, well, it’s been nice knowing you, ha,
It’s more likely that I didn’t win and I’m still here and I’d like to think even if I did win I’d give notice of at least two weeks but like someone around here said, “yeah, how motivated would you be?” And that’s a very good point. It’s good to be idealistic and well-meaning and all that but sometimes the reality turns that upside down. That’s why I’m a little worried about the fact that we in the newsroom are Glenn Mitchell all in on one set of tickets, and even though that would be divided by eight ($7.5 million to be exact), that’s more than enough to worry about who would actually show up on Monday morning if we somehow won the big one. Including yours truly, for that matter, sometimes you don’t know how you’re going to react to something in life until it actually happens, even though you swear up and down you would take the high road. You see, I have my own ticket, too, and, yes, I keep them separate and apparently they trust me with holding onto it, at least so far, although they’re probably cursing me right now because I wrote about this before the draw and we likely didn’t win and it’s always good to have someone to blame...... Actually I think I’d rather win one of the 25 extra $1 million dollar prizes they’re offering this week because it wouldn’t screw up my life so much, and naturally I’m being greedy and talking about my own ticket and not the prospects of sharing a million with my co-horts which would only be $125,000 and would be nice but not exactly life-altering (oh, oh, I just jinxed that one too, sorry about that folks).
MITCHELL’S MUSINGS
And that’s the real beauty of buying a lottery ticket, dreaming of the possibilities. And, it does happen, enough to think it might be us one day. The pages of this very paper have featured a number of big winners over the years, even though it seems like it’s always Ontario and Quebec that takes the top prize. I think, upon reflection, that that is just a numbers game as in there are more of them than us so it only makes sense that proportionally they are going to have more winners, which somehow makes us in the West feel like losers. I think the same math equation beats us up in federal politics by the way, apparently whatever happens in the Greater Toronto Area on Oct. 19 will decide who will be prime minister, but then again it’s pretty darn close so get out and vote anyway and maybe this time we’ll decide things for a change. And who knows maybe the Lotto Max winner will be from B.C., or even the Okanagan, or even Vernon, or even the Landing, or even...... It could happen, and I hope it will, and somebody has to win, but those darn odds keep coming back to say don’t give up your day job. According to their website, the odds of matching seven out of seven is one in 28,633,528, which sounds like a low percentage because it is, and when you think about how many Lotto Max jackpots go unclaimed every week even though it seems like every Canadian is buying them, well that’s one out of 26.6 million reasons. The good news is the odds of matching three out of seven and earning a free play is one in 8.1. That’s not too bad and within the realms of possibility and most of us have at least experienced that minor thrill, or even $20 on occasion, which usually means free play times four for yours truly. So, it keeps the dream alive, which I guess is part of what it’s all about, as long as we keep the odds in mind and play responsibly. I’m pretty sure I’ll see you here next week.
Local politicians spent last week in Vancouver at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, and the key component was sitting down with provincial cabinet ministers. But instead of being useful, these speed-dating sessions only highlighted the inadequacies of the provincial government when dealing with communities. First off, the Regional District of North Okanagan continues to be stalled in its attempt to hold a borrowing referendum for a new ice sheet in Greater Vernon. The reason is the Ministry of Community Development won’t sign off on the process. “The paperwork appears to be on someone’s desk,” said director Akbal Mund. A primary factor appears to be staff changes within the ministry. “We have things before them, so what happens now?” said director Mike Macnabb. On another front, local leaders met with the Ministry of Transportation on a variety of concerns, including the fiasco that is Stickle Road. Instead of listening to the majority of residents and businesses who want a traffic signal at the Highway 97 intersection, the ministry is expected to bring forward another concept after the last two were shelved due to public furor. And when it comes to busing cuts in Cherryville, the education ministry passed the buck, saying the Vernon School District has the ability to set its budget. That may be true but limited resources from Victoria have forced the district to take drastic action to make budgets balance. In the end, hopefully the lobbying from municipal and regional district politicians will be successful. But given the lukewarm response from the province, don’t hold your breath.

Let's MOOve on with the times
hould you live long enough, you will discover that words that you grew up with have completely changed their meanings. Here I speak of transparency. Transparent, in a political sense, now almost invariably means“opaque. So one must accept that the archaic term transparent is obsolete and move with the times. Similarly, obscurity now replaces clarity. Potential voters should take note of this. In view of recent political scandals, I am proposing what some may consider a somewhat radical solution. Create, at the federal level, a Ministry of Opacity and Obscurity, (MOO). The principal duty of the minister of opacity and obscurity would be to read all e-mails and other documents backwards, from the last paragraph up to and including the first. That the minister had done so, would be confirmed by the deputy minister and assistant deputy minister. COLDSTREAM DECISION I read with interest Jennifer Smith's report of council's approval of a variance permit and subdivision of land for property on Pine Drive in Coldstream. According to this reporter, residents object to the permit based on their perception of negative impacts to the neighbourhood. A couple of things jump out at me. The first being the perceived impacts. This sounds a lot like someone taking sides. Most impacts prior to impact are perceived because they haven't happened. Perhaps these residents know something about the impacts of large, non-conforming buildings in their current neighbourhood or elsewhere. In fact, I'd like to take this moment to remind Coldstream council and the neighbours of Pine Drive of my experience in requesting a building permit (with no variance or special considerations) to add a garage addition to my old home on about five acres on Kidston Road a number of years back. I loved that house and I loved
This procedure would avoid the recurrence of an unfortunate recent lapse by an official, who failed to read the last paragraph of an e-mail as revealed in recent legal proceedings. From the voter’s viewpoint, it seems desirable that documents, particularly those that affect the taxpayer, should be read in full: the final paragraph in my experience often contains such
thinking about the people that built that house in the old days. There were lots of fruit trees and space for my dogs and a gorgeous view, and with lots of help, I planted a lovely collection of trees and flowers. And, there was lots of space for people to walk by on a path behind the house to take full advantage of the same gorgeous view. Coldstream council perceived the negative impacts of me building that garage to replace the one lost when Kidston Road went through to the park, and denied my building permit. One of the reasons given was that council did not want megahouses in Coldstream. Not to split hairs, but the house and garage would have ended up being the same size as most normal, older homes in the valley. It only had one bathroom and two bedrooms so it was small to begin with and the garage would have been a normal standard size. In the end, I don't own that house anymore and when I drive the road and see that it has been torn down and that a new, bigger and better home now sits up
details as summaries and conclusions. These of course may be unpalatable to MOO and the minister may not wish to know of them. For this dilemma I also have a solution. To deal with sensitive or embarrassing documents, a new department would be created within MOO. This department would be run by a
the hill from where my old house was, I am reminded of the hurtful treatment I received over a simple building permit. I want to remind the neighbours on Pine Drive, that there has been a paradigm shift in how bigger and better homes are viewed and that anyone can end up on the wrong side of new direction and inconsistency of values in Coldstream. Judy Paterson REFUGEE CRISIS If only we had a leader of our splendid country with the courage and initiative to show the world what we are really made of and make us all proud. What would Churchill have done? Here's what I would do. I'd call the chief of our defence forces into my office today and order him thus: "Get every single Canadian Air Force transport aircraft into the air by noon tomorrow. Fly them to the Middle East and fill them with refugees. Bring them back to Canada, and keep on fetching refugees until I tell you to stop."
deputy minister of oblivion and obfuscation (DMOO), whose main function would be that the documents routinely submitted after perusal by MOO were properly obfuscated and consigned to oblivion before any ensuing election. On a provincial level, the cost of instituting these new ministries might be avoided by letting an existing department take on equivalent duties. In Vernon, for instance, the duties of DMOO could be assumed by the Ministry of Transportation. Its recent handling of the Cosens Bay Road and Stickle Road issues seems to show some expertise in this field. And then there’s accountability. But that’s another story. Accountability sounds good, but is almost impossible to establish, since like the tent caterpillars we see daily around Vernon, they are liable to build thick cocoons of impenetrable litigation. So, let me make myself totally obscure... James Seaton
Then I'd order our foreign service people to get on those aircraft and fill them with refugees. "No paperwork, no delays, just do it." I'd then tell the mayors of every city in Canada to be prepared to receive and look after the refugees. "No expense spared. No excuses. Just do it." The world press would have a field day. They'd love it. "Canada sets an example." How proud we would all be... and guess who'd win the next election? Anthony W. Harnett BIASED COVERAGE I attended the all candidates meeting Sept. 14 at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre and I was very impressed with the knowledge and eloquences of our candidates. I was disappointed, however, that the editor of The Morning Star chose to show only the Conservative candidate's photo in the report in the Sept. 16 edition of the paper. It would have been fairer and
less partisan to have shown a photo of all of the candidates on the stage. Vickie West

The Hall of Fame will also present a special tribute to the late Lew Neilson (Drew’s father), who is in the shrine for auto racing and hang gliding. The Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame was established in 1982 through the vision of Vernon resident and sports enthusiast, Nick Alexis. With the support of Vernon city council, Alexis and a dedicated group of volunteers created a series of outdoor exhibits celebrating the region’s dynamic sporting history in Vernon’s Cenotaph Park. That same year, the new organization unveiled its first round of inductees to the Hall of Fame. Several years later, in 2001, the Hall of Fame moved its exhibits into the newly constructed Vernon Multiplex (Kal Tire Place). In 2011, the Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame and Museum became a function of the Greater Vernon Museum and Archives.

While the environment was the focus, co-operation became a key topic as the three opposition party candidates answered to the public Thursday. The Sustainable Environment Network Society federal election forum drew more than 100 people, except Conservative candidate Mel Arnold. His absence made the Conservatives an easy target for candidates and the crowd who are unhappy with Stephen Harper’s decisions over the past four years. Liberal Cindy Derkaz, Green Chris George and New Democrat Jacqui Gingras took turns answering questions ranging from nuclear energy, climate change and pharmaceuticals in our water to sustainable agriculture, GMO’s and water protection. The three managed to agree JENNIFER SMITH/MORNING STAR on a number of Mary Stockdale questions cantopics, including didates about their party’s clithe fact if they are mate change platforms during elected Oct. 19, the SENS federal election forum. that sometimes they may need to stand up and work across party lines and different levels of government to solve problems. “It’s absolutely important for resilience and democracy,” said Gingras, who has worked with a renewed democracy group. “We work to actually look at the national approach.” If a Conservative leadership continues, George says the parties need to sit down and discuss issues. “The doors are open and we need the best ideas from all parties to make this work,” said George, adding that pre-election co-operation was high on Elizabeth May’s agenda, but that while Justin Trudeau still takes her calls, Tom Mulcair has said no. “Everywhere we’ve been is to provide people with a sense of hope to get them off their couches and vote.” Collaboration is key to governance, as well as many other areas of life, said Derkaz. “That is what I do and have done all my life,”

she said, noting a similar agenda from the Liberal leader. “I see that Justin Trudeau is a very inclusive and collaborative leader.” Another hot topic was supporting local producers versus the ability to do so. “We need to support those (local farmers and businesses) but the issue of poverty is a big one,” said Derkaz. Food security is a topic near and dear to George, who says while we can’t produce everything, Canada needs to diversify. “I’m pretty sure none of us would be too happy eating nothing but beef and bread.” Gingras re-iterates the fact that poverty is an underlying issue. “If people are poor they are not able to access some of those most basic needs.” For detailed answers from candidates on some pre-assigned questions from SENS, visit www. sensociety.org

Kalamalka ROTARY DREAM AUCTION The Kalamalka Rotary Dream Auction, the club’s annual fundraiser, is made possible with the support of community donors and sponsors. “The Dream Auction allows Kalamalka Rotary’s 90 members to work with businesses and individuals to help make our community a better place to live,” said Mary-Jo O’Keefe, PR Chair for the club. “Our donors enable us to support a range of local projects that reach many people in our community,” added Taylor Dedora, Local Donations Chair for 2015. “By supporting key projects and purchases, we are providing significant long term improvements to education, recreation, culture and social services, here and in other parts of the world,” said Annette Sharkey, International Donations Chair for 2015. If you would like to be a donor or sponsor for the Dream Auction, please contact Neil Perry, Dream Auction Chair, at neil@waysideco.ca “Over the past 30 years, Kalamalka Rotary has raised over 2 million dollars and supported hundreds of community projects,” added Perry. Here are some of the larger projects Kalamalka Rotary selected to be recipients of last year’s Dream Auction proceeds:

MAVEN LANE Maven Lane provides education, care and recreation for children from 9 months to 12 years and supports the needs of over 240 families in the North Okanagan. The upgrading of two aging bathrooms in the former elementary school was required to provide better facilities, but more importantly, to allow Maven Lane to increase enrollment and help meet the community need for affordable daycare. “As of September 1st, we opened an additional 16 licensed spaces, which supported 38 children with childcare,” said Hollie Henderson, Executive Director. “We are truly grateful for Kalamalka Rotary’s support! While bathroom upgrades may be meaningless to others, it has made the world of difference here at Maven Lane. You can see the enjoyment in the children’s faces,” shared Henderson.

Golds run past Maroons at GVAP Morning Star Staff
Salmon Arm Golds spoiled the Friday Night Lights party. The Golds beat the Fulton Maroons 32-12 in front of a large crowd on hand to witness the firstever high school senior football game played under the lights at the new Greater Vernon Athletics Park. “This was the best game of the year for our kids, said Fulton head coach Mike Scheller. “The score was close for most of the game. They pulled away in the fourth quarter with a couple of late touchdowns. “In the end, the Golds controlled possession of the ball and field position. They grounded us out on offence and were deserving of the win.” It was 12-6 Golds at halftime, Fulton’s lone score coming in the first quarter when quarterback Isaac Olson hit receive Caden Doyle with a 58-yard pass. The two connected again in the third quarter on a 75-yard pass-andrun play. Olson was 3-8 on the night with one interception. Doyle also ran the ball 12 times for 74 yards. “Caden Doyle was awesome, receiving and rushing the ball,” said Scheller. “He is a game-breaker and a difference-maker on offence. It was a costly loss for the Maroons as solid inside linebacker Isaiah Foureyes was lost for the season after dislocating his shoulder in the third quarter. “That really affected our run defence,” said Scheller, who also praised the fantastic effort at cornerback of Nate Banga, defensive tackle Quinn Miller and Olson at defensive end. Banga led the defence with

Scheller loved the new venue. “It was great to play at the new stadium,” he said. “It is a fantastic venue and a great addition to sports in our town. It was awesome to open the stadium. The Maroons (0-3) host the
Rutland Voodoos at noon Oct. 3 at Grahame Park. The Voodoos rallied from a 14-0 first half deficit to tie the Vernon Panthers 14-14 in a rain-soaked exhibition senior varsity game Friday afternoon at VSS. Levi Nicholas opened the scoring
in the second quarter with a 19-yard touchdown rush. As time was expiring in the first half, pivot Justin Haverkamp (4-9, 69 yards) connected with tight end Josh Hyer on a 17-yard catch to put the hosts up by two majors lead heading into the break.
“We had a great second quarter and started to find some rhythm which hasn’t been in our offence this season,” said VSS head coach Sean Smith. “It felt good to move the ball a bit and hit on the touchdown pass.” The Voodoos took the secondhalf kickoff to the house to close the gap and steal the momentum. One drive later, the score was tied following a Rutland rush. “The kick return sparked them and we couldn’t recapture the energy we had in the second quarter,” said Smith. The Panthers threatened in the red zone late in the game settling for a potential game winning field goal with under two minutes to play. However, an errant snap turned the attempted field goal into a recovery effort. Rutland had a chance to win the game with a field goal on the final play but the kick – which was on target – fell a few yards short of the upright. “We are still not playing good assignment football and are making too many mistakes that are costing us,” said Smith. “Penalties and missed assignments are killing our drives. Until we become more disciplined, these are the results we are going to get.” Levi Nicholas had a great twoway game for the Panthers rushing 13 times for 75 yards and a major to go along with his team-leading eight tackles. Tyler Semeniuk added five tackles and Ben Hladik continued to show why he could be the conference’s defensive player of the year with two tackles, two forced fumbles and one sack). The Panthers visit the Pitt Meadows Marauders Friday.

Ewen was a kind-hearted soul
ernon’s Murray Fairweather will remember his nephew Todd Ewen as a kind soul who treated everybody with respect, played the piano and guitar, and wrote and illustrated children’s books. On the ice, Ewen was given the nickname The Animal only because other enforcers like Stu (The Grim Reaper) Grimson had frightening monikers. And even though he had 148 fights in 518 NHL games with the St. Louis Blues, Montreal Canadiens, Anaheim Ducks and San Jose Sharks, Ewen was hardly known as an animal. “If you listened to Kevin Mitchell interviews with Todd, he was so soft-spoken,” said Fairweather, who helped mentor Ewen in hockey. “He was a quiet guy who giggled all the time and had a good sense of humour.” Ewen, who began his Junior hockey career with the Vernon Lakers in 1982, died last Saturday. St. Louis County Police reported it was a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was 49. CTV Calgary reported that Ewen had struggled with depression in recent years. He leaves behind his wife, Kelli, and three children. Fairweather sent me an uncut live 27-minute audio clip of Ewen talking to award-winning documentary filmmaker and journalist Mike Downie. The piece is called Requiem for a Heavyweight. Ewen’s sense of humour shines throughout the interview. He talked about his first couple of fights in the show. “So after the game I call my brother (Dean) up and say, ‘Hey man, just had my second game in the NHL and it was awesome I fought this guy his name is Preburt or Proberb, something like that.” Anyway he doesn’t say anything for a second or two then he goes, ‘Ahh Bob Probert?’ And I said ya that’s the guy. Then he asks, “So how did
BETWEEN THE LINES
you do?’ I told him I knocked him out in the first fight with one punch. He says, ‘You just knocked out Bob Probert? You have no idea what you just did, do ya?’ He was right, I had no clue.” Fairweather, a great senior player back in the day in Saskatoon, recalls getting Ewen a tryout with the Junior A North Battleford Stars. “He was 14 and fought the toughest guy on the team and beat him,” said Fairweather. “The coach, Stan Dunn, said, ‘I wanna keep him, but he’s only 14.’” Fairweather served as Ewen’s agent for two years and then stepped aside for a certified player agent. “Todd was stereotyped as a fighter because he was so strong, but he was a great skater. He could play the game. I know the Ducks signed him for his leadership and character.” Mark Ferner was a defenceman with those same original Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in 1993. “I was shocked,” said Ferner, head coach/ GM of the BCHL Vernon Vipers. “Stu Grimson tweeted it best when he said Todd was a ‘great husband, father, teammate/linemate.’ He was a real intellectual guy and he was very creative. I remember him making a Zamboni out of hockey tape, with all the tiny details.” Ewen had his best season in his first year with the Ducks, compiling nine goals and 285 penalty minutes. He was an alternate captain for three seasons in Anaheim. “Between him and Stu, I don’t think they lost a fight,” said Ferner. “We were well protected.” Ewen, who won a Stanley Cup with the 1993 Canadiens, earning the respect of peers, wrote a few popular children’s books. One of his titles was Hop — a Frog Who Dared to Be Different, which was dedicated to his own children. After returning to St. Louis he coached hockey, produced instructional videos and sold real estate. He appeared regularly on sports talk radio shows and he recently
Todd Ewen with the 1982-83 Vernon Lakers participated in the team’s fantasy camp with other Blues alumni. The Blues held a moment’s silence in Ewen’s honour at a preseason game the other night. “I was proud to call Todd Ewen a teammate and more importantly, a friend,” Brett Hull tweeted. “Can’t believe you’re gone.” Ewen, who grew up in St. Albert, and teammate Ron Berezowski billeted with Bob and Rosemarie Manton while in Vernon. The Lakers had local boy Gord Simpson as captain and were led in scoring by Stacey Wakabayashi and Mike Enemark. The Penticton Knights had Hull and Ian Kidd that season. “Todd was so nice,” remembers Rosemarie, who had two young sons. “We would sit around the kitchen with the boys and Todd would draw his pictures. We had two billets from the Pee Wee tournament that year so we had a full house.” Ewen rang up 14 goals and 178 penalty minutes in 42 games as a 16-year-old with Vernon. Rosemarie said Ewen stopped by the
house a year or two later, “with his cat” for a friendly visit. I never met Ewen, but did befriend him on Facebook recently to stay closer to the hockey fraternity. I posted the sad news of his death and the tributes quickly started flowing. From Laker teammate Bob Wensley: “That sucks. Played with him on the Lakers, good kid.” From retired teacher Marty Stein, a scout for the Red Wings: “Great person. I taught him when I was at VSS. Very personable. Just can’t imagine the demons inside him. Sad day.” From Kelowna journalist/city councillor Charlie Hodge, who penned two books on hockey legend Howie Meeker: “Tragedy. Another good guy lost in quiet pain.” From Simpson of the Lakers: “My boy.. SALUTE. You had my back more than once.. truly missed & never forgotten... go get some Ewen.” From Armstrong’s Don Raffan: “An exceptional good guy. Murray Fairweather’s nephew. He would give us tickets to watch him play when he was with the Canadiens.” Ewen’s death came one day after Tim Petruk of Kamloops This Week wrote a superb piece on former NHL tough guy Rudy Poeschek, who played with Ewen in Vernon. Petruk stated that Poeschek “is slowly losing his memory, his hearing — and maybe his life.” Poeschek is involved in a lawsuit being brought against the NHL by former players. A Minnesota-based law firm is investigating allegations that the NHL hid concussion risks from its players over a decades-long period. Whether or not Ewen’s death was linked to Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy — known as CTE — a disease that has been found to have inflicted many athletes who played collision sport, remains to be seen and won’t bring any comfort to his loved ones. What we do know for sure is the world lost another good man far too soon.
BMXers close stellar years Morning Star Staff
Two Vernon BMX riders are making names for themselves. Jon Rondeau has come back strong on the BMX circuit this past year. After racing pro and retiring from BMX in the early 2000s, he has been back on the bike in the 40-plus cruiser class, proving he still has what it takes to win. In Calgary at the Canada Cup Aug. 29, he placed third in a stacked field on a very technical track which was giving many riders a tough time. In the Alberta Provincial Grands Sept. 12, Rondeau shut the door on everyone and placed first, followed by a

first place win the next day in the provincial championships to lock down the seasons overall provincial title, bringing it home to B.C. Kevin Hill started the BMX season in July racing in Vernon and then decided to chase down some Alberta races. After getting the OK from his snowboard coaches about missing the season opening camp in Chile, the Olympic snowboarder participated in the Canada Cup in Calgary, where he joined the top Canadian pros along with a few international riders chasing Olympic points. “It was very tough field of pro riders in Calgary. Being able to bring home a third place and a sixth place was no easy feat,” said Hill. “At the Provincial Grands in Edmonton Sept. 12, I had a great time racing, placing third and fourth. With heavy rain Saturday night, the track was not rideable, but thanks to kitty litter and a few hours delay, we managed to race for the first time in my career on half of the track.” Hill heads to Europe to start his winter snowboard training at the beginning of October, in preparation for the World Cup season starting in Austria Dec. 10. He has also been invited to X-Games competitions in 2016. Hill struck gold ahead of Omar Visintin and Nate Holland in the Men’s Snowboarder X final at X Games Aspen 2015.

Some unofficially call it the Vernon Cup – the last derby match between Okanagan 55s Soccer League rivals to end the season. Kal Tire made it two years straight by dispatching Silver Stars 2-0 Thursday night at MacDonald Park. Red-hot Rob Hulstein registered the winner in the 44th minute, drilling a 12-yard shot past keeper Dave Gould after nifty set-ups from teammates Kevin Mitchell, Grant Badgero and Kenny Rath. Maple Ridge import Glen Jones added insurance midway through the darkish final half, finishing with a hard shot after a nifty through ball by Okanagan Pre-Wire Man of the Match Roger Irving.
Kal Tire, who ended up fifth at 10-8-2, got stellar goalkeeping from Yogi Kongsdorf, who stymied Brian Eso twice on breakaways and held on to the ball tight on several other shots. Pizza Hut Man of the Match for the third-

A resource for seniors Bowlers Bring Home medals Morning Star Staff
Following up on a successful first day of providing information on seniors services directly to Armstrong seniors, volunteer Stella Meger confirms that she will again be at the Armstrong Seniors Activity Centre, Oct. 15 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. “I was very happy with the turnout in September and look forward to meeting more Armstrong seniors over the next three months, said Meger, a volunteer with Nexus. “I will also be at the centre the third Thursday in November and December.” Seniors centre treasurer Nancy Visser said the other members of the executive will host an open house Oct. 15 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., to showcase the current programs available to seniors. “We will have demonstrations set up for carpet bowling and ping pong, and the pool table room will be open to showcase the four tables available,” she said. “We will also set up tables for people to play cards at or to sit and enjoy a cuppa and a muffin.” If you have never been in the Seniors Activity Centre, now is the time to check it out. “We would welcome suggestions and input on the use of the centre and of course, new participants and members are very much encouraged,” said president Wayne Cornish. For more details, call Visser at 250-546-8158.

all has officially fallen on the Okanagan and what a glorious time of year it is. Another good feature is that election time is almost upon us and all the hype and dueling ads will mercifully end. For all of us, young and old, it is probably one of the most important elections we will participate in and seniors can make a difference by getting out and voting and encouraging others to vote as well. Encourage your grandkids to join you and make sure that first- time voters are registered before Election Day.

of Canadians have no coverage for medications prescribed by their doctor. In many cases, Canadians requiring medication need to rely on insurance or constant, careful saving in order to afford the prescriptions that are critical to their lives. Indeed my own prescribed medication not covered amounts to $95 per month, a lot of money on a limited income. We need a national drug plan that takes care of everyone. These prescriptions — ranging
from cancer treatments to insulin to antibiotics — are fundamental to our healthcare, and the lack of a federal drug plan puts our collective health in serious jeopardy. So check out which party is supporting this initiative. A lot going on this time of year in and around Vernon and one of the most popular is happening Oct. 3 and running 8 p.m. until 11 p.m. The Allan Brooks Nature Centre (ABNC) and the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (RASC) will be holding an Astronomy Night, weather permitting.

to heave. Buildings a century or more old are either decrepit, fixed up just on the front and a ruin otherwise, have sod roofs sprouting grasses and flowers, or are lovingly refurbished. A side trip from Dawson takes us to Tombstone Territorial Park, part way up the Dempster Highway. The length of this lonely road running through the tundra all the way to Inuvik is akin to driving on a gravel road from Vancouver to Banff. After leaving Dawson City by ferry across the Yukon River, we explore the paddlewheel graveyard. Here, once stately ships slowly disintegrate into matchsticks and rust on the river bank. Roadside on the Top of the World Highway, we savour the windswept emptiness and the distant view of our highway undulating over dark green mountains. Crossing the border at Poker Creek ushers us into Alaska and it is a downhill run to Old Chicken. We browse the General Store, the hat festooned saloon, and
learn that only a few of the 50-plus residents of the town stay for the winter. At the utilitarian crossroad town of Tok, we head south on the Alaska Highway, cross back into Canada and skirt the edge of Kluane National Park. Pink wildflowers and burgundy barley grass proliferate along the road and the towering St. Elias Mountains hem brilliant blue Kluane Lake. The Kluane Museum of Natural History at Burwash Landing, with its excellent dioramas of local wildlife, is a welcome leg stretch. In the traditional First Nations fish camp of Klukshu, we wander past ramshackle cabins and bear proof fish drying enclosures. It must be a hive of activity when the salmon are running. Walking through a virtually empty campground brings us to a boardwalk flanking a narrow canyon with the roaring Million Dollar Falls.

YUKON - Two old timers slouch in chairs outside the saloon. Hats clamped low on their foreheads, stubbled chins, and dusty boots. “ Guess I should head home,” one drawls. “Why do you want to do that?” questions the other as they settle more comfortably in their seats. Nothing happens in a hurry in Chicken, Alaska. When friends ask us along on a northern driving trip, we jump at the chance. With refrains of “There are strange things done in the midnight sun …” in our heads, we plan a week long circle route from Whitehorse, Yukon to Dawson City, into Alaska over the Top of the World highway, back into Canada through Kluane National Park, to Haines and Skagway, and back up to Whitehorse. A saunter along the Yukon River in Whitehorse brings us to the SS Klondike. Of the many paddle wheelers plying the upper Yukon from 1929 to 1936, she was the largest. Passengers had staterooms on the upper deck while provisions destined for Dawson City crammed the lower one. On the return run, she carried ore from the mines. The trip from Whitehorse to Dawson took one and half days. We could drive the same distance in seven hours but take our time as summer daylight lasts about 19 hours. Dawson City fascinates us with its Klondike gold rush history. There are no paved streets or concrete sidewalks because the permafrost would cause them

Plenty of exploration awaits
Tour 25 – Limit is 25 people
Some bear sightings cause much excitement and a flurry of photo snapping. Heading further south, we cross back into Alaska; destination Haines to catch the ferry to Skagway. The cruise along the fiord is a smooth glide past dark, densely forested mountains. It is late when we arrive in Skagway and its historic main street is deserted. Not so in the morning. Instead of mingling with thousands from the cruise ships in the harbour, we explore the isolated Dyea town site. In Gold Rush times, Dyea’s proximity to the start of the Chilkoot Trail made it a bustling port for Klondike stampeders. Now reclaimed by the forest, there is hardly any evidence of the town. We leave the coastal rain forest behind and climb up to the alpine tundra of the White Pass. The many glacier blue lakes and steep mountains gift us with eye candy at every turn. Our explorations end when we spot the world’s largest weather vane, an actual DC3 aircraft, at the Whitehorse airport. Like the old codger in Chicken, it’s time we head home.

Breakaway moves into larger premises LISA VANDERVELDE Morning Star Staff
Roger Annis rolled the dice and moved his gym, Breakaway Health and Fitness, to the former Lake City Casino location at Village Green Hotel. “It was a bit of a risk, but we needed to make that change to grow,” said Annis. He purchased the gym two years-ago, at its former location near Beairsto Elementary School. The bright and airy new location is double the size at 10,000-square-feet, fully wheelchair accessible and has use of the hotel’s indoor pool, hot tub and sauna. “It is fantastic. The hotel stepped up to get us in here and basically gutted the space and built it to suit us,” said Annis. The gym has been able to add more equipment to the space including more free weights, power racks and a CrossFit section. “We concentrate on making it comfortable to everyone,” said Rogers. The fitness centre has children as members and a member who is 94 years-old and works out three to four days a week. “We’re not a gym that you have to worry about what you are wearing,” he said. Wheelchair accessibility is a point of pride for Breakaway, with the entire gym on one level and a wheelchair accessible bathroom and shower that is usable for people with disabilities. Another service it’s now able to provide due to their increased space is a full-time physiotherapist, with a kinesiologist from Priest Valley Therapy Centre on site. “This is a win, win for everyone. Our guests will have the convenience of a full-service gym and BreakAway Fitness members will be able to take full advantage of our hotel services and amenities,” said Rob Glattfelder, hotel president. The Village Green Hotel has been in business for more than 40 years. In 2016, the hotel will initiate a renovation of 50 guest rooms located in the tower, as well as a refurbishment of the pool area and lobby.

New gallery opens doors Morning Star Staff
DWF Gallery in Vernon features a range of wood products made by local artisans.

From its early roots in a Lumby workshop, DWF Gallery Hardwood Designs has expanded and opened its doors on Vernon’s Kalamalka Lake Road. Besides items made by owner Don Fortin, the operation features other B.C. artisans. DWF Gallery and its wood boxes started through a website in 2002, and Fortin then became involved in artiDon Fortin san shows and wood shows throughout B.C. and Alberta. “Before long, I was making jewelry boxes, ring boxes and display cases, plus many other
customs made items,” he said. “The website started to bring in customers from Canada, and the U.S.” In 2006, Fortin was accepted by jury into the Wood Co-Op on Vancouver’s Granville Island, where a year later, he became a member of the board of directors. He also became one of the founding members of the Village Gallery in Lumby. With Fortin’s presence on the Internet, DWF Gallery Hardwood designs now have clients from the U.S, Ireland, England, France, and Australia and right here at home. “Being open only two months now in Vernon, I am already busy with custom orders from New York and Alabama,” said Fortin. “DWF Gallery has 10 local artisans working in the gallery with more to come.”

once you return to Canada. Most supplementary plans offer coverage for emergency evacuation back to Canada. In most cases, you can claim the cost of insurance premiums as an income tax credit on your tax return. Replacement insurance is important if you will be staying outside Canada long enough to lose your provincial health care coverage. It usually does not cover pre-existing conditions and often has strict age restrictions for eligibility of coverage. If the plan features coverage for pre-existing conditions, is available to persons over a certain age, and covers you in Canada while you wait to be reinstated for provincial coverage, premiums may become extremely expensive. Plan ahead and plan according to your health and travel needs.

dual citizenship may be eligible for health care coverage in the country of their winter residence. Many of these health care plans will only cover you after a specified waiting period. However, Canadian retirees may find that these plans do not offer comparable coverage and may want to explore health care insurance. There are two types of health care insurance available to retirees spending time abroad. Depending on your needs, you may choose between supplementary and replacement insurance. Supplementary insurance is insurance to cover the extra cost of medical services received abroad that are not covered by your province’s health care system.

Tourism stakeholders from across the Thompson-Okanagan will gather in Kelowna next month to give a major boost to their $1.7 billion industry. The Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association holds its annual general meeting Oct. 28, with Destination B.C. presenting its Winning Together Road Show. “This summit’s theme, Glenn Mandziuk Exceeding Expectations, will build on the momentum of the tourism strategy and current growth in the development of visitor experiences, relationships with communities, and routes-and-corridors – all of which is creating a more vibrant industry with significant growth targeted to extend the travel season,” said Glenn Mandziuk, TOTA president. Previous Summits have attracted close to 200 tourism leaders from communities throughout the Thompson-Okanagan region. “The annual summit provides that face-to-face connectivity we need as an industry to create and develop long term relationships with each other and learn how to navigate the road ahead with this ever changing industry,” said Michael J. Ballingall, TOTA chairperson. TOTA represents more than 3,800 tourism industry stakeholders across the ThompsonOkanagan region.

Retiring MP discusses health care RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A veteran politician says communities need to be more involved in health care services. Libby Davies, who is retiring as a Vancouver NDP MP after 18 years, was in Vernon Friday to
discuss health care and seniors issues with nonprofit agencies. “It should be something decided in the local community,” she said of available programs. Instead, she says federal authorities have got in the way of programs favoured by communities, such as the safe injection facility in Vancouver. “It turned out to be a battle all of the way to the Supreme Court because the federal government fought it,” she said, adding that treatment is offered by the facility. “It’s not about enabling drug use. It’s about chronic drug users and where they are at (in life). It’s about setting boundaries and understanding people, and making health care accessible.” She also said Ottawa
should not stand in the way of communities having medical marijuana outlets. “We need to have proper standards. People need to know what the product is.” Davies called on agencies and all levels of government to work with marginalized individuals to address key concerns. “These are real people. We make these awful generalizations but we need to refocus the health care system so there is equity.” Davies also touched on the need to improve access to housing across the country. “How can anyone make something of their life without stable, supportive housing?” she said. Davies was joined by North OkanaganShuswap NDP candidate Jacqui Gingras.

Enderby’s main water source is being shut down temporarily. The city will take the primary water source from the Shuswap River offline for repairs beginning Monday and switch customers over to a well. “Based on average daily flows at this time of year, the secondary source can supply typical use,” said Tate Bengtson, chief administrative officer. “However, water users are invited to voluntarily reduce unnecessary water consumption. This will help to maintain reservoir levels during peak hourly demand. It will also help in the event of a major fire or an interruption in secondary source production.” The Shuswap River intake is being shut down so repairs can be done to the floor of a filter that is used for cleansing water.

Vernon’s Junior Chamber International chapter is one of the best in the country. Sixteen members of the chapter recently attended the JCI Canada national convention in Calgary, and it received three top awards and numerous honourable mentions. The top awards included best local personal skill development program for the Make-a-Little Mean-aLot Project. “It ran throughout the first half of 2015 and included dog treat sales benefitting the SPCA, a zumbathon charity event for Transition House, a drive-thru breakfast benefitting the Canadian Mental Health Association, and a Ford test drive event for Teen Junction,” said Sue Solymosi, JCI Vernon president. Vernon JCI also received the chapter excellence program – emerald level. “We are one of only two chapters in Canada to have reached this level of the excellence program, which is designed to ensure the strength and longevity of a chapter,” said Solymosi. “This year is JCI Vernon’s 12th consecutive year receiving recognition of chapter excellence.” The executive committee member of the year award went to Hailey Rilkoff, who was the chapter’s 2014 communications director. “Hailey is a hard-working and valued member. JCI Vernon is proud to have her as part of our team,” said Solymosi. In addition to the national recognition, JCI Vernon members had the opportunity to participate in a community project in Calgary. They helped put up fencing to protect the trees in a post-flood zone in Beaver Flats. “This area is still in recovery from the floods from three years ago,” said Solymosi.

More than 350 people are expected to take part in the annual Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation’s CIBC Run For The Cure Sunday, Oct. 4, at Marshall Field. The nationwide event is the largest single-day, volunteer-led event dedicated to raising funds for the breast cancer cause. The annual 1km/5km walk/run would not be possible without the commitment of volunteers who make the event happen in 62 communities across the country. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. and the start of the run/walk begins at 10 a.m. The Vernon organizing committee starts as early as April to plan, organize and execute the event in October. “The CIBC Run for the Cure is an inspiring day where our community comes together to support the breast cancer cause, and those impacted by this disease,” said Diana Lehman, volunteer run co-director. “On run day, we see this amazing support – whether it’s for a breast cancer survivor, someone going through treatment, or even participating in memory of someone. We are all there to create a future without breast cancer.” With one in nine Canadian women diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime, the need to continue raising funds for new research in the areas of prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care to significantly improves lives of women and their families continues. “Funds raised at the CIBC Run for the Cure allows the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation to invest in leading edge research and support education and advocacy programs for the breast cancer community,” said Bernice Scholten, executive director of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation

Vernon’s Margaret Raffan originally regretted her friend Yvonne Dibblee’s long memory. It was Dibblee, in 2014, who informed the then 87-year-old Raffan she was going to enter her in events she thought Raffan could compete in at the 2015 B.C. 55+ Games in August in Burnaby. “I was hoping she’d forget but she didn’t,” laughed Raffan, who will be 89 in January. “She’s got more faith in me than I have in myself. I didn’t want to let her down so I thought I’d better go for it.” Dibblee entered Raffan in track and field, and six events in total. The octogenarian, who had never competed in any track or any field event in her eight decades on Earth, won six medals. Raffan won gold in the 5,000-metre race walk (12.5 laps of the track), a pair of silver medals in javelin and a race-walk relay with her Zone 8 teammates, and bronze medals in shot put, discus and weight throw. “I just tried to do my best,” said Raffan, who wore backwards the hat of her family’s business, Valley Auction Ltd., during competition, along with bib No. 206 and the matching red Zone 8 team jacket. “I like challenging myself. I never expected to win any medals. Yvonne said to me, ‘Are you going to pick up your medal?’ and I said, ‘You gotta have rocks in your head.’ I’m still in shock. I’ve never done anything like this. I still can’t fathom it.” A self-proclaimed Depression-era girl, Raffan grew up on a farm 26 kilometres east of Three Hills, Alta., the sixth of nine children. There was no track program in public or high school in Three Hills. “I loved tumbling in public school, we had an old mattress down in the basement,” said Raffan. “I played on the girls outdoor hockey team, always on defence because I couldn’t skate well. I never had proper skates. We were lucky to have one pair for the whole family, but we had fun. I curled, too.” When Dibblee told Raffan she had registered for Burnaby, Raffan drew inspiration from her late mother, Mary. “She always said, ‘Don’t say can’t; always say try,’ so I figured I had nothing to lose,” said Raffan. “I was just determined, I like to pursue things, and I owe a lot of that to
Norm Ouston and his niece, Cindy Ouston, with the gold medals they won for coming in first in their cribbage division at the games. my mom.” She also got inspired reading a book Dibblee gave her: What Makes Olga Run, a story about Canadian track and field athlete Olga Kotelko, who held more than 30 world records and won more than 750 gold medals in her age category, between 90 and 95, at Masters competitions. Kotelko died in 2014. To prepare for the Games, Raffan practised throwing a javelin about six times, and she tries to walk as much as she can – when not hampered by the extreme heat the North Okanagan experienced this summer – from her Alexis Park area condo, up and down 39th Avenue, or down 39th Avenue and returning to home after strolling along 30th Avenue. Her first 55+ Games was a great experience, said Raffan. Asked if she would compete in Coquitlam in 2016, she smiled and said, “A year? That’s quite a ways away. I hope I’m still above the grass. One day at a time.” n Also at the B.C. 55+ Games, Norm Ouston and his niece, Cindy Ouston of Armstrong, competed as a team in cribbage with 80 other participants. All contestant teams were divided into five flights and each team played three games with every team in their flight for the

The Oustons recorded the highest points so therefore came in first in their division and won their first gold medal for that achievement. Each of the five flights sent their top winners to the final cribbage game room to compete for the championship gold medal with all division winners One final showdown game was played with each team. Having points of 121, 121, 121, 121 and 118, Cindy and Norm triumphed for a second gold medal.
Vernon’s Lincoln Lanes was happy to send a team to five-pin bowling in North Vancouver, held at a bowling centre where scoring is done the old-fashioned way: with pencil and paper. The team included George Smith, Lorraine Heichert, Ethel Somers, Gordon Conway, Gerry Skura and spare Rick Redwood from Penticton. Heichert won two gold medals for high singles on two days of the four-day event. Redwood won gold and a silver and Smith recorded a bronze for the third highest triple on the last day of bowling.

Fundraiser is a sweet success Morning Star Staff
Thanks to tables filled with sweet treats, Heron Grove has raised the money needed to build pergolas on its second-floor patio. The Third Annual Decadent Dessert Fundraiser took place Sept. 12 at The Good Samaritan Society’s Heron Grove. “The wonderful affair was a smashing success,” said Ivana Pavlic, chairman of the event. “More than $14,000 was raised, the most of any event, for our Raise the Roof Campaign. “This monumental achievement was aided by many generous donors including one anonymous donation of $10,000.” The project’s goal has been met and Heron Grove will now install pergolas, to allow residents, friends and staff to maximize the beautiful weather throughout the year. “A huge thank you goes out to all sponsors, including our title sponsor, Phil Southward of Southward Medical Supplies, attendees, volunteers, community

Take time to learn about the prostate Morning Star Staff
Hey you — Harry, Joe, Bill or whatever your name is. Do you know that this year, 24,000 Canadian men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer? And 3,800 of those men will be from B.C. About 4,100 men across the country will lose their battle with prostate cancer. “New developments in screening for and treating prostate cancer are significantly lowering the loss of life to the disease,” said Lloyd Mitchell, with the Vernon Prostate Cancer Support & Awareness Group. “However, a recent Canadian poll found that 40 per cent of men aged 40 and up do not know what the prostate is and its significance in male sexual functioning.” The Vernon Prostate Cancer Support &
Awareness Group is out to lower that percentage by presenting a four-man panel who will inform about the prostate and its importance. The presenters are four local survivors who range from 25 years to four years of living free of active cancer. Come out to People Place, 3402-27th Ave., on Monday at 7:30 p.m. and become aware of proactive action to maintain your healthy lifestyle. Ladies are most welcome — come and learn how to support your loved one.

E
llison elementary students and parents are celebrating International Walk to School (iWalk) with Mayor Akbul Mund Oct. 7 at 8 a.m. followed by a school assembly. The purpose of this event is to encourage children to walk to school and re-ignite the Walking School Bus program. Alexis Park elementary is celebrating iWalk by hosting a walk/bike/ scooter to school celebration station Oct. 5 from 7 to 8:45 a.m. Both events will have free refreshments and a chance to win prizes. Twenty-five years ago 80 per cent of children walked or biked to school without an adult from Grades three to 12; now only 20 per cent of Canadian children walk or bike to school. Today’s children face chronic health risks and increased rates of obesity; 26 per cent of Canadian children and youth are obese, and diabetes, heart attack and stroke are now more prevalent in young adults. Walking is one way to decrease the incidence of chronic disease in children. For more information on how to organize an iWalk event at your school, contact wmajewski@vernon.ca or visit www.vernon.ca/vernonmoves.

Piano man to turn heads with fast hands Michael Kaeshammer shows his prowess at the keys when he visits the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Saturday Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
When acclaimed Canadian pianist Michael Kaeshammer performs in Vernon Saturday, it will be obvious to many that the guy likes to have fun. Whether he’s playing boogie-woogie, blues, jazz, or pop, or a cross-over of those styles, Kaeshammer is a true showman. “Kaeshammer’s performances are a true joy and his energy knows no bounds. He has piano technique to burn and to his audience’s delight has an acrobatic way with a grand piano,” said Erin Kennedy, artistic director at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. Audiences will see for themselves when Kaeshammer arrives in Vernon Saturday to entertain for the Performing Arts Centre’s 14th annual Birthday Bash and 2015-16 season opener. Called Canada’s triple-threat combo of piano
virtuosity, vocal ability and charisma, this potent combination has earned the Toronto-based artist international critical acclaim and a loyal and growing fan base. Drawing mostly from an impressive list of standards and his catalogue of original studio recordings, Kaeshammer will be joined on stage by his longtime drummer Mark McLean and bassist Marc Rogers. “Kaeshammer and his band will have the crowd eating out of the palm of their hands and never do they leave with anything short of a standing ovation,” said Kennedy. A reviewer of his performance at the Tanglewood Jazz Festival noted: “Drawing on a rock solid knowledge of the early piano greats, Kaeshammer does more than play the way they did. He entertains with a capital ‘E’ the way they did… he taps into a part of music that’s almost lost, connecting deeply with the audience on a gut level, so they are no longer just spectators in the music-making.” Tickets for Kaeshammer’s performance, which starts at 7:30 p.m., are $40 for adults, $37 for seniors and $35 for students. Call the Ticket Seller box office at 250-549-SHOW (7469) or log online to www.ticketseller.ca for tickets and more information.

Elvis tribute back for fundraiser to help Mexican children’s home
Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
Behind the glitz and glamour and those white jumpsuits, “The King” Elvis Presley was known for giving back. Perhaps it was because he grew up poor in his hometown of Tupelo, Mississippi, but once success hit him hard and fast, Presley was known to donate to numerous charitable organizations. So it’s fitting that world champion Canadian Elvis tribute artist Adam Fitzpatrick follows in those footsteps. The 2014 Las Vegas Elvis Grand Champion and Europe’s Tribute to Elvis Grand Champion, Fitzpatrick is about to headline a concert to raise funds for the Salvation Army Children’s Home in Mazatlan, Mexico. “The home is a safe haven for orphans and children who have been abused and neglected in one of the most visited tourist resort areas in Mexico,” said Jody Johnson, who with her husband, Brian, are organizing the If I Can Dream fundraiser, featuring Fitzpatrick, Oct. 16. “We go every year to visit the kids.

spend most of their time helping out with the care and maintenance of the children’s home and its occupants. This is the second year the Johnsons have hosted a concert in Vernon with Fitzpatrick to raise funds for the home. “We started a maintenance fund for the home last year,” said Jody. “They didn’t have a flush toilet and had to pour water into the toilet. They now have a maintenance man who comes and helps out.” This year, the Johnsons and Fitzpatrick hope to help a 10-year-old girl named America who lives at the home. “She has two younger sisters and one older brother and they never got enough food growing up. America always gave her food to her younger sibling. She is on growth hormones as she hasn’t grown to what a healthy 10-year-old should be at,” said Jody. The Johnsons have already raised some funds for America when they held a concert with Fitzpatrick at their Falkland ranch this summer, and they are hoping to raise more for both America’s medication and the food neces-

sary to feed all the children at the home. “The home receives no government funding although children are brought into the care of the home by the family services agency,” Jody told The Morning Star last year. “The Salvation Army provides the officers who care for the children, but do not fund the operation of the home. Consequently, money is scarce and basic necessities – milk, toilet tissue, shampoo – are often lacking. One major source of funding are the performances of songs and ethnic dances by the children in hotels, malls, RV parks and wherever an invitation is offered.” Fitzpatrick will perform his Elvis Evolution show at the fundraiser. It features all eras of Presley’s music from the birth of rock ‘n roll in the ‘50s, his movie starring days in the ‘60s, his ‘68 comeback show, and the ‘70s Vegas years. If I Can Dream takes place at Trinity United Church, 3300 Alexis Park Dr., Oct. 16.

Arts It’s on with the shows
A
n entire summer has come and gone since I last dished about the latest and greatest events in the Valley. What a crazy summer! In June, my wife and I bought a new-to-us house, and that was perhaps the last time I knew which end was up. After a summer of renovations and moving, I’m thankfully finding some routine now that autumn is here. Along with cooler temperatures, colourful trees, and pumpkin spiced treats comes a flood of events Brian van Wensem in the near future to welcome you to fall. Here’s what you’ll want to see in the weeks to come: The Tea Party are celebrating the 20th anniversary of their iconic The Edges of Twilight album at the Performing Arts Centre Tuesday. The Edges of Twilight went double platinum in 1995 and was nominated for two Juno awards. With hard rock at their core, The Tea Party’s unique sound comes from their inspiration and use of rare instruments from all over the world. The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are still available through the Ticket Seller by calling 549SHOW (7469). With coke bottle glasses and a commanding three-octave range, Roy Orbison landed 22 songs on the Billboard Top 40 between 1960 and 1964. Relive the height of “The Big O’s” career when The Lonely performs their dynamic tribute to Orbison at the Performing Arts Centre this Thursday. Featuring classic hits including Dream Baby, Blue Angel, You Got It and In Dreams, this nostalgic evening pays homage to the sounds and spirits of the original recordings. Showtime is at 7:30 p.m. and you can buy your tickets through the
Centre Point
box office by calling 250-549-SHOW (7469). Celebrate the Performing Arts Centre’s 14th birthday Saturday with the extraordinarily talented Michael Kaeshammer, live in concert. A piano virtuoso, Kaeshammer plays first rate boogie-woogie, blues and jazz with mesmerizing ease. With vocal ability, charisma and showmanship, Kaeshammer showcases a set of original songs that are as playful as they are contagious. Kaeshammer will be joined on stage by his longtime drummer Mark McLean and bassist Marc Rogers for an energetic concert that will no doubt end with a standing ovation. Purchase your tickets through the Ticket Seller box office by calling 549-SHOW (7469). Children’s entertainment legend Fred Penner is back at the Performing Arts Centre Oct. 4 to start off this year’s TD kids’ series. Hits including The Cat Came Back, Sandwiches and Riders in the Sky are just a few songs by this twotime Juno award winning performer. A recipient of the Order of Canada, Penner continues to delight fans both young and old with his charm and the undeniable ability to make you feel good about yourself. Tickets are just $12 no matter your age and are still available through the Ticket Seller at 549SHOW (7469) or online at www. ticketseller.ca. And on Oct. 6, the Performing Arts Centre Society’s Morning Melodies series returns with tenor Benjamin Butterfield for an intimate morning of classical music. Butterfield has toured across the globe including performances at the Hollywood Bowl and Carnegie Hall. Butterfield will be accompanied by Vancouver pianist and series host Sarah Hagen. Doors open at 10 a.m. for coffee, refreshments and a chance to chat with the musicians before the 10:30 a.m. start of the performance. Get your tickets at the Ticket Seller.

Morning Star Staff
The Monashee Arts Council is once again assisting young people in finding rewarding ways to express themselves. Starting Thursday, MAC member Michelle Saurette will lead students on a weekly onehour art class set to expand their horizons. The eight-week Language of Art afterschool program will focus on teaching foundational principles in art while challenging youth to view life around them with a new focus, said Saurette. “Seeding organic truth in our youth through art comes naturally for me,” she said. “With our modern culture filled with electronic experiences, art class hosts empowerment for our youth to be heard as they find a new voice in visual expressions. As they say, a picture is worth 1,000 words.” Saurette has a background in fine arts, advertising and human anatomy. She has gained skills over her 25 years as a teacher in health and wellness. Classes, suitable for students in Grades 4 to 9, will take place at the Whitevalley Community Hall in Lumby on Thursdays starting Oct. 1 to Nov. 19 from 3:15 to 4:15 p.m. Cost is $70 for the full series with a small supplies fee, which will go to the instructor. Pre-registration is required by Tuesday at 4 p.m. at the Monashee Arts Council office in the Village Gallery, Lumby. Call 778-4733029 or e-mail monasheeartscouncil@gmail. com.

brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist
Before the modern age of drug therapy, many medications came as liquid extracts of natural products. Whisky, in strengths of up to 60%, was the main ingredient in many of these products. It was felt that alcohol was very good for its sedative effects, particularly in young children. Times have changed... •••••••• Portion size is still one of the most powerful methods of losing weight. This is particularly important when we travel. We tend to be a little more liberal in our eating habits on holidays and this can often lead to weight gain. •••••••• Guidelines about coffee consumption seem to agree that four cups daily is a safe quantity to drink. For pregnant women and children, the amount is a lot less - about one cup. •••••••• Ever since 1998, when drugs became available to enhance men’s sexual health, drug companies have been working hard to find a female equivalent. One company has found such a drug but results are mixed and there are some side effects. The Food and Drug Administration in the US has not allowed its release yet until the company deals with the risks attached to the drug. •••••••• Research is carried on worldwide to find new drugs to treat all the diseases that plague us. We try to keep current on that drug research, and when a new drug does come onto the market, chances are we will know about it. We encourage your questions about old and new drugs. Drop in soon!

Naked Pig opens to live music Morning Star Staff
Downtown Vernon eatery The Naked Pig is hosting live music by Vancouver-based musician Leah Barley Friday. “Telling her tales of love, loss, epic bike rides, and broken homes with beautiful tones and a ridiculous range that will make your hair stand on end, this is a show not to be missed,” said the show’s promoter Alexa Harwood-Jones in a press release. A blues-folk singer/songwriter, Barley is on the road yet again, this time with the Converse Cowboys, featuring multi-instrumentalist Ross Christopher Fairbairn and violist John Kastelic. Joining them will be special guest Marina Lagacé, who will perform her psychedelic folk music. Saskatchewan born and Ontario raised, Barley fell in love with old time country and bluegrass once she moved to Canmore, Alta. in her early 20s. After she bought her first banjo, she was writing and performing within two months. Now, with more than eight years of performing in cafés, pubs, living rooms, festivals and even at world famous venues like the Whiskey A Go Go and the Hotel Cafe in L.A. (with The Wayward Hearts), Barley says she is definitely at home on stage. Barley and the Converse Cowboys with guest Lagacé perform at The Naked Pig Friday at 8 p.m. For more Photo submitted information check out www.leahbar- Blues-folk singer/songwriter Leah Barley performs with band The Converse Cowboys and special leymusic.com. guest Marina Lagacé at the Naked Pig in downtown Vernon, Friday.

Must get tickets to the show I read about in Live Wire!
Black Mass
lack Mass is based on the true story of James “Whitey” Bulger (Johnny Depp), a notorious gangster, brother of Massachusetts state senator William Bulger (Benedict Cumberbatch), and FBI informant. Black Mass is set in Boston in the ‘70s and early ‘80s, when Bulger, with help from his childhood friend and now FBI agent John Connolly (Joel Edgerton), tried Taylor and Howe to clean up the streets for their advantage and control. Gun smuggling, racketeering, drug dealing, and murder are just a few of the things the two of them must cover up, and the small fact that Bulger and Connolly want to get rid of the local Italian mafia family that live down the road. Bulger was also on the FBI’s 10 most wanted list until he was caught in June 2011, eluding authorities for 16 years. We say, “This is probably one of Depp’s finest performances.” HOWE: Mr. Taylor is on the Highway to Hell to see AC/DC this week and left it up to me to watch Black Mass. I think he will be a little upset that he didn’t get to see it. We have had a few true story movies these last few weeks: Straight Outta Compton and Love and Mercy to name a

Joel Edgerton as FBI agent John Connolly and Johnny Depp as crime boss James “Whitey” Bulger star in Black Mass. few, which were both fantastic. But does Black Mass, with its huge array of talent at its disposal, stand up with them? The short answer is yes. Depp is transformed, and I am not just talking about his appearance, into Bulger’s character, even going as far as saying that he has to be up there on this year’s Oscar list. Edgerton also plays his role very well as the FBI agent who tries to cover their tracks, and Cumberbatch, well we all know he is one of the best actors out there at the moment.
The story itself, even though some are saying is a little out of sync with some of the timelines of the true story, is very interesting. It delves into Bulger’s personal life, the deaths of his son and mother, the relationship and bond between friends growing up together in South Boston, and how he was able to elude the police and FBI for so long. So with saying that, grab your pop, choose your candy and go see Depp as you have never seen him before. – Howe gives Black Mass 4 Christmas trees out of 5.

Bridge by Phillip Alder THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO GET HOME SAFELY In 1995, there was an interesting fashion advertisement in The New York Times Magazine. In a cartoon, two young women were talking to each other on different pages. These were their lines: “So what do you think of the new V.P. of Marketing?” “There are only two things I don’t like about her. Her face.” Although that is snide, it is funny. The key word for today’s deal, though, is ‘two.’ How should South play in three no-trump after West has led the spade queen? North’s bidding problem is difficult. Discuss it with your partner. It is easy for declarer to
get careless on this deal by taking the first trick, cashing the ace of clubs, and playing another club. With this layout, though, he goes down. There are two ways to collect nine tricks: one spade, two diamonds and six clubs; or one spade, five diamonds and three clubs. South should try for both. Also, if he needs five diamond tricks, he should finesse dummy’s jack. (To cash the ace and king of diamonds immediately, hoping to drop the doubleton queen while declarer still has communication in clubs, is against the odds.) South should win trick one, play a club to dummy’s king, then return a club to his ace. If the suit splits, he goes to dummy with a diamond to
the king, and runs the clubs. Here, though, when West discards a heart on the second club, declarer leads a low diamond to dummy’s jack, cashes the diamond king, and claims nine tricks. This is a rare example of a deal in which ‘the honor from the shorter side first’ is the wrong play.

Shop sparks top marks Morning Star Staff
Welding students at Okanagan College’s Kelowna campus recently sparked their torches for the first time in a newly retrofitted shop. And a $60,000 donation from Praxair’s global giving program is helping the college outfit state-of-theart workspaces for them. “Having this kind of training available locally through Okanagan College will help our region grow and we’re proud to be able to support our community in this way,” said Sean Durbin, Praxair Canada president. The donation supported the construction and equipping of six welding booths in the new shop, which will boast 36 booths in total. Students will continue to have access to 32 booths in an older shop space behind the new facilities. “Despite slowdowns in a number of sectors like oil and gas, we are seeing that the demand for welders in Western Canada remains strong,” said Steve Moores, the college’s dean of trades and apprenticeship. “Our welding programs are waitlisted and train in two shifts, morning and night, five days a week, to accommodate as many students as we can.” With potential for the growth of LNG and shipbuilding on the horizon in B.C., Moores says the college is building for the future and working closely with industry partners to stay current on the newest technologies and techniques. “This new welding shop is going to provide our students with a completely modern learning environment with all the latest technologies and equipment that they will encounter out in the industry.” In addition to new technologies, improvements to the shop include more efficient lighting, heating and cooling, and a more efficient extraction system which improves ventilation. Okanagan College is currently the largest public post-secondary trainer of welders in B.C. Launched last year, Okanagan College’s Bright Horizons Building for Skills campaign aims to raise $7 million for trades — $5 million for capital construction and $2 million for student and program support. To learn more about the campaign, go to www. okanagan.bc.ca/campaign.

could boost the dismal turnout of municipal elections and engage many more young people. Vancouver Coun. Andrea Reimer said no municipality would be forced to adopt online voting, the aim is merely to make it an available option for communities and individuals that want it. But Saanich Coun. Vic Derman warned there’s no way to guarantee an online voter is casting their ballot in privacy, without someone else directing or manipulating them, possibly buying their vote. “It does affect one’s privacy of vote that should take place behind a screen at a ballot box,” said Lorne Lewis, a Sunshine Coast Regional District director. He said it’s wrong “to put people in a situation where they can be badgered about their vote.” The close vote suggests the issue is having increasing trouble gaining traction. A similar UBCM motion in 2011 passed by a two-to-one margin. Since then, an independent panel struck by the provincial government concluded last year that the risks outweigh the benefits, and recommended that any move to online voting be limited to voters with specific accessibility challenges. That report by B.C.’s chief electoral officer also found no evidence of a significant increase in voter turnout in other jurisdictions that have adopted online voting. Reimer isn’t concerned about the close vote and said online voting for B.C. mayors and councils is inevitable. “The only question is when and how far behind other jurisdictions we’ll be when we get to that point.”

Over vocal objections from some representatives, local politicians have narrowly endorsed a call for an “environmental bill of rights” for B.C. Calling it “an idea whose time has come,” Richmond Coun. Harold Steves sponsored the motion at the UBCM convention. It calls for recognition of a right to “live in a healthy environment, including the right to clean air, clean water, clean food and vibrant ecosystems.” Steves reminded delegates of a summer of smoke from forest fires and a drought that saw his Cache Creek farm run out of water. He noted the bill of rights has been supported by 36 municipalities around B.C., after a tour of local councils by the David Suzuki Foundation’s Blue Dot campaign.

CONGRATULATIONS This photo illustrates how Watkin Motors goes above and beyond the call of duty. Budd Blankley dressed up as Santa Claus and delivered to our home, a brand new 1976 Ford Elite car, Christmas morning December 25, 1975. A wonderful surprise Christmas present from my husband. Thank you Budd and Santa’s elves at Watkin Motors!
to Caroline Carpenter for winning the People’s Choice Award and diamond earrings for Best Story!
We would like to thank everyone that sent in their pictures and/or memories of Watkin Motors Ford over the past 100 years! It really truly is an exceptional milestone and we are fortunate to be located in such a great community. Bring on another 100 years! ~ THE TEAM AT WATKINS
