Recycle review sought

ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Vernon RCMP are saying little about a robbery at a credit union that saw the thief make off with more than $50,000. Shortly after 10 p.m. Thursday, the Interior Savings Credit Union in the 4300 block of 32nd Street had a breakand-enter to the drivethrough ATM kiosk. “An unknown man gained entrance to the building and managed to open the safe inside,” said Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy. “He fled the scene with more than $50,000.” Police have obtained video from the building and are still reviewing it. Details on a description of the suspect, how he got into the site, how he got into the safe where the money was kept or how he got away are not being released. “Police are actively investigating and will not be releasing any more information at this time,” said Noseworthy, though she did say, when asked about the length of time the suspect was in the building, that he appeared “to be in there quickly.” Anyone who knows anything about the crime can call the RCMP at 250-545-7171 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477. “It’s a well travelled highway with lots of people on it, so we’re hoping somebody saw something suspicious that night,” said Noseworthy.

A Vernon politician is trashing recycling collection. Coun. Scott Anderson wants his council colleagues to consider asking the Regional District of North Okanagan to review how curbside recycling pickup is delivered. “Nobody likes the current system,” he said Monday. In spring 2014, RDNO withdrew from recycling under a provincial government-mandated initiative. Multi-Material B.C., an industry organization, took over administration for recycling and a private company was hired to collect recycling. Instead of clear bags, residents now use plastic bins and that has been the largest source of controversy, according to Anderson. “There have been literally hundreds of complaints. Seniors have trouble moving them around,” he said of the bins. Other concerns have revolved around paper blowing out of bins and becoming litter. Anderson says he has no preferred choice for collecting recycling - bags or bins - but he wants the matter reviewed. Mayor Akbal Mund isn’t sure if the regional district should take a look at recycling. “I have had problems with the system but any time there’s change, you have to adapt to the system,” he said. “Personally, did I like the old system, yes I did because more recycling occurred.” Presently, some material, such as plastic bags, are not allowed in the curbside bins and residents must take them to a recycling centre.

City surveys market’s future RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The City of Vernon wants to know, once and for all, if a public market has broad-based appeal. Council instructed staff Monday to proceed with a survey of affected 30th Avenue business owners to determine support for the Avenue Market organized by the Catherine Lord Downtown Vernon Association. “I want this survey to cover all of the bases and to be objective,” said Coun. Catherine Lord. The city will conduct the survey and Family Owned & Operated Offers valid ‘til October 6, 2015

merchants can respond anonymously. “There will be no names attached to the survey,” said Lord. While a number of businesses have come out in support of the market, which runs Friday nights, others have indicated that it has negatively impacted parking and revenue. Businesses will be asked if they participate in the market, do they want the market to continue in 2016 and if they believe the market has been good for downtown. However, two other questions have been added after prompting from Lord. “There should be a question about whether you would support a market on Saturday,” said Lord, adding that merchants should be asked for specifics on any benefits or costs they have seen due to the market.
As part of the survey, businesses at street level on 30th Avenue, from 30th to 33rd streets, would be given one type of code for tracking. Businesses above and below street level on those blocks would be given another code and businesses on each adjacent block would be presented with a third code. “This would allow the results to be analyzed separately and together,” said Cleo Corbett, long range planner. Coun. Juliette Cunningham hopes the survey will end the ongoing debate over the market. “We are putting a fair amount of effort into this. I don’t want this to be, ‘he said, she said.’ I want everyone to freely give their opinion,” said Cunningham, who owns a business in the affected blocks.

OPEN BURNING
Open air burning is permitted in the Township of Spallumcheen from October 1 each year to April 15 the following year, with extended burning until May 15 by permit only. Permitted Burning Materials is defined as untreated wood, prunings, branches, tree trunks, stumps, or other vegetation that has been allowed to dry. Residents are required to consult Environment Canada’s venting index or forecast for our region prior to starting a fire. Open burning should only be conducted when the index is considered Good and above the 55 range. Residential R1 and R5 Zones (Residential Single Family & Residential Manufactured Home Community) are prohibited from open burning. Every person who starts a fire is responsible for educating themselves on the current rules and regulations. Information can be obtained by contacting the Municipal Office at 250-546-3013 or on the Township website at www.spallumcheentwp.bc.ca. Persons in violation of the Township’s burning regulations may be subject to fines up to $2,000.00. Cindy Graves, Deputy Corporate Officer.
The B.C. Senior Games Society estimates an economic impact of about $2 million for the host. “They buy their own meals and pay for their own hotel rooms,” said Ross of the athletes. “They fill up their car with gas and shop at our stores. With the previous games, local crafts were flying off the shelves at vendor tables. Local products will do well.” The city applied for the Games earlier this year, and Ross insists support from local sports groups and facility operators was critical. “Without all of them, the bid wouldn’t have been successful.” The 2017 Games will mark the 55-Plus B.C. Games’ 30th anniversary and the City of Vernon’s 125th birthday. “It’s a tremendous opportunity for us to highlight the strength of the partnerships in our region with the support of our neighbouring communities: Armstrong, Spallumcheen, Coldstream and Areas B and C,” said Akbal Mund, Vernon’s mayor. The successful bid is garnering excitement in Armstrong. “I am sure a lot of our residents will participate, and volunteer to help host the events,” said Mayor Chris Pieper.

Commercial break-ins keep officers busy ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
It was a busy week for Vernon RCMP investigating commercial thefts. Items from backhoes and vehicles to culverts and hockey glass were stolen. “It’s not uncommon to have thefts from commercial properties but this week there was a spike and there were some unusual ones,” said Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy, with the RCMP. n RCMP responded to a complaint of a break, enter and theft sometime between Friday and Saturday at MRS Management in the 500 block of Commonage Road.
“Sometime during the night, the gates to the property were cut open,” said Noseworthy. A Volvo skid steer backhoe, valued at $60,000, and a Volvo U.S. mower, valued at $30,000, were taken. Evidence at the scene suggests that a dually truck (four wheels across the back) and a trailer were used. This matter is still being investigated. n Police are investigating the possibility of a link between two break-and-enters between Tuesday, Sept. 22, and Thursday, Sept. 24. The compound at LB Chapman Construction in the 4400 block of 25th Avenue was bro-
ken into. Two travel trailers at that site were broken into, and an unknown quantity of items were taken. And sometime on the night Sept. 23 to the morning of Sept. 24, the compound at Latitude Marine in the 4400 block of 25th Avenue was also broken into. Several boats and trailers were damaged during this incident. “All the boats and trailers were being stored there by private owners,” said Noseworthy. “It does not appear that anything was stolen during the incident, but items were rifled through.” Some of the boats
received damage. n On Sept. 19, a break-in was discovered at B.C. Forestry in the 3400 block of Reservoir Road near Coldstream at 3:40 a.m. A 2006 Ford F250 was stolen and was used to steal gasoline and mechanical equipment. Among the other items stolen were several chainsaws, a fire pump, maps, GPS and a radio. The vehicle has since been recovered in Kelowna. The matter is still under investigation. n Sometime between Sept. 18 and 19, two 14-foot corrugated culverts were stolen from near the intersection of Okanagan Landing
Road and Cummins Road. “Each culvert weighs more than 500 pounds and is worth $1,200,” said Noseworthy, who called the thefts of the culverts “a weird one.” n The Priest Valley Arena compound, at the rear of the facility, in the 3400 block of 35th Avenue, had a break-and-enter Friday night or early Saturday morning. Two-to-three sheets of hockey glass (fourfoot-by-six-foot in size) were stolen, as were 30-to-40 aluminum supports (six-footfive-and-a-half-inch lengths). Anybody with information on these incidents is asked to call
Resource Centre, the First Nations Friendship Centre, the North Okanagan Shuswap Brain Injury Society, the North Okanagan Therapeutic Riding Association, the Upper Room Mission and the Whitevalley Community Resource Centre. Breakfast bags will be available by donation and some will contain prizes. Local dignitaries will also wash your car window and serve you coffee.

Farm life instills independence for Gingras ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
You can take the girl off the farm, but you can’t take the farm out of the girl. Jacqui Gingras, NDP candidate in the North O k a n a g a n - S hu s w ap riding, learned plenty about hard work, discipline and food sources growing up on a hobby farm in Oyama. “The farm provided what we needed for our family,” said Gingras, a 1987 graduate of Lake Country’s George Elliot Secondary School, whose family included her parents and a younger sister and brother. “We didn’t sell anything at the farm gate. We had horses, chickens, pigs, goats, cows, a massive garden, fruit trees hay fields. It taught me a lot about local food and agriculture.” Gingras and her siblings would pick fruit from the trees, fruit that would be canned and preserved. They would milk the cows which their mom would make ice cream from. Mom baked bread. “It was where I learned how to cook and take care of myself,” said Gingras. “It was significant in moving me into nutrition.” Upon graduation from GESS, Gingras enrolled at Okanagan College, then transferred to UBC in Vancouver, finishing a bachelor of science in dietetics in 1994. After an internship at New Westminster’s Royal Columbian Hospital to become a dietitian, Gingras decided she hadn’t quite had enough
of school and completed her masters of science degree in nutrition in 1994 at the University of Alberta. Gingras moved back to the West Coast to start her own consulting company – a company she still has – in 1998, hosting workshops and counselling women and men on eating disorders and body issues. In 2002, Gingras went back to school and earned a PhD in education from UBC, finishing in 2006. “I came into an interdisciplinary program,” she said. “I wanted to ask questions about how health professionals were educated.” As she achieved her doctorate, Gingras and her partner, Kelly, welcomed their first child, a girl, Evyn, now 11. The couple moved to Kelowna – the same street Gingras’ grandmother lived on – and she began applying for university professor jobs. The first offer she received was from Ryerson University. Gingras accepted, moved east and has since become a tenured nutrition professor at the downtown Toronto school. Still, the desire to return to the Okanagan was strong. Gingras recalled time spent at one of her favourite spots on Earth, the family cabin on Shuswap Lake in Canoe. “I used to work in Cinnemousun Narrows on the floating log store,” said Gingras. “It was hard work. The Shuswap will always have a place in my

Gingras, Kelly, Evyn and their son, Lewis, seven, live on a 44-acre property outside of Falkland, where they have a raised bed garden, two rescue horses, a dog and a cat. Asked when the political bug struck her, Gingras said it wasn’t really a bug but more of a political immersion that began at a young age. “My grandma was a Grade 1 teacher who was very involved in politics and we talked about politics all of the time,” she said. When the NDP formed the official opposition in 2011 shortly before the death of leader Jack Layton, Gingras became inspired. “It was more Jack’s life than death that was the moment I felt called to serve,” she said. “I have a wonderful career, am a success-

ful academic but I was moved by Jack’s life. I said ‘If I’m not going to run, then who am I waiting for? Why can’t I do this?’ The simple response is I can do this and want to do this.” Eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Oct. 19 election, Gingras has been busy on the hustings. The No. 1 thing she keeps hearing from people is they want their rights restored. “People are struggling, tired of working so hard and not being able to make ends meet,” she said. As for new NDP leader Tom Mulcair, Gingras called him “extraordinary,” and a “principled man.” “He wants to make sure everyone in
Canada is taken care of,” said Gingras.

Not much of a myth
uring last Friday’s forum at Okanagan College, Conservative candidate Mel Arnold defended the party’s trackrecord when it comes to economic recovery, and particularly ensuring that infrastructure renewal is part of job creation. “Last year, almost $17 million went into local communities,” he told the crowd of the federal government’s investment. However, it was his next comment that likely raised a few eyebrows: “It’s a myth that we have an infrastructure deficit.” Huh? No infrastructure deficit? If that’s the case, why have most municipalities been making so much Richard Rolke noise about the issue? And particularly, in 2013, the City of Vernon launched a strategy to tackle an $80 million deficit for infrastructure that’s past its life expectancy. “We are getting our house in order,” said Will Pearce, chief administrative officer, at the time. The lifespan of all city assets — roads, underground pipes, sidewalks, buildings, etc. — was 47 years and the average remaining life was 51 per cent. In 2013, Vernon projected that about $17 million a year was needed for renewal, including $8.4 million for roads and $4.5 million for the sewer system. More recently, the District of Lake Country indicated this May that it has a $30 million backlog of needed road improvements. The funding shortfall to deal with the situation is about $1.5 million annually. “This is our challenge as a community,” said Greg Bucholz, Lake Country’s infrastructure services director, in an article.

“A lot of our roads were built in the 1970’s or earlier and they are starting to come to the end of their lifespan and we need to reconstruct.” Puzzled by Arnold’s suggestion that the infrastructure deficit is a myth, a call was placed to the candidate for clarification. “Myth may have not been the correct word,” he said during an interview Monday. “We will never have all of the infrastructure we need.” Through further discussion, Arnold elaborated that while there are a number of projects needing attention, taxpayers at all levels of government have finite financial resources and can only take on so much. “We can’t continuously go into deficit and debt for infrastructure. It has to be paid for.” That’s very true as the buck ultimately stops with taxpayers, however, the reality is that potholes in the streets need to be fixed, sewer lines must be kept running and there are increasing demands for water treatment in all communities. Other forms of infrastructure have also been neglected over the decades, and one just has to look at Vernon’s cultural amenities for an example. All levels of government need to be creative and find ways to push ahead with much-needed capital improvements. In the case of the City of Vernon, it has mandated an annual 1.9 per cent tax hike as a way of partially addressing the problem. Perhaps Ottawa could do the same with the gas tax revenue, which it already doles out to local jurisdictions but with specific conditions (presently, spending is all over the map). We’ve all used the wrong word, especially in the heat of the moment, so I appreciated Arnold’s clarification. However, the infrastructure deficit is very much a reality and one that none of us can ignore.
The debate around how to help Syrian refugees, fleeing a vicious civil war and expanding Islamic State terrorism, has become something of a political football in Canada. It’s to be expected that various parties during the election would make various claims on the best approach. But this is beyond politics. The publication of the photo that went around the world – that of threeyear-old Syrian refugee Alan Kurdi – is ample evidence of that. Canadians are compassionate people and there is ample precedent for helping those in need. We need only recall when in the 1980s thousands of Vietnamese “boat people” were taken in by this country. Compassion has to supersede politics in this matter but other questions arise of Canadians wanting to respond. While dramatic and serious events like the Syrian crisis are few and far between, there is no lack of other events seeking our charitable response. It’s important to analyze how useful and effective such charitable “trends” are, often spurred on by heart-wrenching photos, and where they go after the outrage dies down and the public moves on to the next hot issue. We can look beyond the migrant crisis in Europe to any number of countries that would benefit from the aid and compassion of Canadians. And it is right and good that we continue to do what we can. And for every trendy hashtag and its accompanying global outrage, there are local issues which, lacking the same profile, still need our attention. The status of refugees, and Canada’s responsibility in assisting them, is deservedly in the spotlight. And local organizations that are doing their part deserve our accolades, especially as most of them were doing the hard work to support refugees for years before it became a trendy issue. -Black Press

Health care tsunami looms
udos to Mickie Sexsmith on the letter to the editor Make health care an election issue. Except, let's make it the issue. Canada can no longer afford to be the magnanimous peacekeeper of yesteryear. The cost of sending peacekeepers and policing forces overseas to engage in hostilities that will never end is unsustainable. These expenses, along with the millions Canada has sent, and is sending as relief aid to other countries, should be redirected to our own collapsed health care system. Canada is about to suffer its own disaster. A health care tsunami this way cometh, and it seems that only those of us who are directly immersed in the health care process realize just how bad it really is.
The first waves are already here. Diabetes, dementia and heart and stroke disease, and other nonacute illnesses, already take up beds that should be reserved for acute care patients. Our own Vernon Jubilee
FEDERAL ELECTION I wish to exit the closet by declaring that I consider myself to be an olive green, lower case ‘l’ liberal/libertarian. As a progressive society, we should be doing everything we can, economically, to protect our environment. In this election season, for whom should we vote? I’m glad you asked! Is the answer, “The best of a bad bunch?" Our world and its environment are important for our survival, but it must be economically sustainable. Our governments, political parties, and the media are unwilling to admit that for decades, our world economies have been in decline while we have been living beyond our means. During 2007/08, the world entered a severe recession which in fact was the beginning of a greater depression. When considering its unfunded liabilities, huge debt levels and horrific annual deficits, our neighbours to the south are bankrupt, a fact which will become increasingly evident as interest rates inevitably increase in the near future. Additionally, the major jurisdictions around the world (Japan, China, etc.) have all been expanding/inflating their money supply which will inevitably lead to runaway inflation and thence economic collapse. In spite of the above, the fact is that Canada’s economic performance on a relative basis has been exemplary. Forbes Canada has named Canada the top G12 country to do business with during 2014.
Hospital has at least 30 beds that are being used for non-acute care patients who are waiting for months to be placed in the existing local residential care facilities. Someone has to die, leave the vicinity or be moved to palliative
According to the OECD Canada leads all G7 countries in terms of job growth. In part due to our tax-free savings accounts and their recent contribution increase, the latest data indicates Canada has led all G7 countries in real GDP growth since 2009. However, as the world economy implodes, Canada will be sucked into the maelstrom on a relative basis as demand for our goods, services, and resources declines on a world-wide basis. On another front, we have been either lured or coerced into joining our southerly neighbour into a series of morally, ethically, economically and politically corrupt actions around the world. During the era of former prime minister Lester Pearson, Canada was a peacekeeper, and in its neutrality, was able to mediate, negotiate or broker peace between conflicting jurisdictions around the world – but no longer. So the question has become, for whom do we vote? History has demonstrated that NDP governance has led to economic stagnation at best, and disaster more consistently. The Green Party is well-meaning, but seemingly economically naive. The Liberals seem more ethical internationally, but excessively taxing those who create wealth and consequently jobs, and redistributing this wealth is detrimental, amounting to consuming our capital. While the Conservatives have performed rela-
care for a vacancy to occur. Successive federal and provincial governments have underfunded this crucial segment of the Canadian way of life for decades. Government spin-doctors try to refocus the attention on to family caregivers, they attempt to tell us they are trying to prevent us from becoming secondary victims of these diseases. "Look after yourself," is their battle cry. While there is some validity to this diversion, the actual victims of these diseases languish in hospital beds meant for others. The reality is that pamphlets and seminars are cheaper than building new facilities and training and paying the staff to run them. Politicians, wake up. It's time to put Canadians first. Ian MacLeod
tively well, economically, their foreign policies are both embarrassing and damaging, positioning Canada as a prime terrorist target as a result of its military and political interventions around the world. It seems incumbent that we vote, in spite of an inclination to climb back into the closet and bury our heads in the sand. Alternatively, should we protest by refusing to vote? The choice is a dilemma? C. Wills HAUGEN HELPS Richard Rolke mentions in passing the nonprofit society in Armstrong. This is the Haugen Community Healthcare Society which supports a clinic with five family doctors. Achieving this required the foresight and dedication of numerous people as well as some good luck. Financing this clinic would have been impossible without the assistance of Dwight Johnson. Another obstacle was, and is, the prevailing view in these times that the government should provide all medical services free of charge. Our society depends on the contributions of time, effort and funds of those who realize what it takes to get and keep medical services in a community. Gavin Hall
CARTOON CONCERNS Over the past few months, perhaps it has been longer, I've noticed a certain element of HDS (Harper derangement syndrome) in the work of the resident cartoonist. Anything to do with the prime minister, no matter how trivial or tangential, appears worthy of the space. From what little I know, an editorial cartoon should include the following elements to be effective: n be well drawn n be clever and witty without being bitter n be timely and topical n be willing to take on everyone and ultimately be fair and somewhat balanced. While the cartoonist's artistic skill is a matter of taste, the lack of any discernible wit, relevance and balance is another matter. This paper fails in its mission when it sets aside objectivity and instead continually bombards us with petty and pointless trivia dressed as cleverness. Ben Moore

Vancouver vocalist puts a spin on pop-jazz AmANdA mORAzAIN For The Morning Star
Think Tom Waits meets Portishead meets Sarah Vaughan and you’ll get somewhat of an idea of the unique sound that Andrea Superstein will bring to the Vernon Jazz Club stage Saturday night. A nominee for the Galaxie award for emerging talent, Superstein returns to the Vernon Jazz Club after a 2012 visit and this time will be joined by Jonny Tobin on piano, Joe Poole on drums and her longtime bassist Rene Worst. The band will play songs from Superstein’s new album, What Goes On, including pop covers of Venus (Bananarama) and Karma Police (Radiohead), as well as an original song, Just One Time, about Superstein’s awkward first date with her now-husband. Superstein will also give Vernon a sneak peek from her newest record, which is set to be released at the beginning of November. Born in Montreal and now living in Vancouver, Superstein has had a love for music since she was a child. “I was in a lot of musicals as a child and got into folk music as a teen,” she said. “I was always interested in African music and explored some musicology classes when I was in college and university. I grew up going to the jazz fest in Montreal but I didn’t really explore the genre as a vocalist until I went to the B.C. Swing Camp in Sorrento about seven years ago.” Since then Superstein has studied jazz vocals with two of Vancouver’s

finest, Jennifer Scott and Kate Hammett-Vaughan. She recently teamed up with Juno award winning producer Les Cooper (Jill Barber) on her new FACTOR funded EP, Stars, which was engineered by Grammy nominee Jeremy Darby. Her sound can be heard both on the international and national airwaves and she has been a special guest on CBC Radio’s Hot Air with Margaret Gallagher. Superstein has been praised for her sound. Guy Zinger from Adore Jazz said, “Vocal jazz delight: oozing of swing, laid back, dark, emotional; just super.” Vancouver’s news and entertainment weekly, The Georgia Straight, has said, “The jazz standard song book is in good hands as long as committed young singers like Andrea Superstein come along.” With her latest full length album, What Goes On, Superstein wanted to meld a variety of her favourite styles together. “When making this record, I was really looking for a way to blend my jazz sensibilities with other music that I love to listen to and perform. That’s definitely where the jazz and indie music meet,” she said. “I also wanted to find a way to make the music fresh, contemporary, and with a killer groove. I listened to a lot of trip hop back in the day and when we were arranging for the new record, it just kind of came out in one of the sessions and it just made sense.” Tobin is an in demand piano
Andrea Superstein returns to the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday, with a new band and album. player living in Vancouver. He can be heard playing with the new R&B group SWEETZ, and Aaron Andrada and Friends. Recently he played improvised piano for Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s silent film, La langosta azul. He has received awards from the Vancouver Jazz Festival, the Envision Jazz Festival, and the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival. In November, Tobin will be heading overseas for 10 months to perform on a cruise ship and in a hotel in Asia.
Worst has been a professional bassist since 1971 and has played with an impressive list of musicians including Chet Baker, David Bowie, Alice Stuart, Poison, Aerosmith, Rita MacNeil, and Freddie Hubbard. He was voted Bassist of the Year by the B.C. CARAS Tribute to West Coast Music for the four years that the award was given. Not only is he an internationally known bass player, but he is also a highly respected producer. Poole has studied with the leg-
endary Oscar Peterson and has performed with Curtis Fuller, Marcus Belgrave, and Ernestine Anderson. He has appeared on recordings by Phil Dwyer, James Danderfer, Dee Daniels, and Cory Weeds to name just a few. Superstein and her band hit the stage at the Vernon Jazz Club (3000-31st St.) Saturday. Doors open at 7:15 p.m. Tickets are $20 at the Bean Scene, Bean to Cup, and at www.vernonjazz.ca, with a $5 rebate at the door for members.
Borealis opens concert series with flair
orealis String Quartet has played prestigious venues in New York, Rome, Beijing and Toronto, but it chose Vernon’s Performing Arts Centre to premiere the work specifically written for it by Coldstream’s Imant Raminsh, at the North Okanagan Community Concert Association (NOCCA) gala opening of its 2015/16 season Thursday. When the very first performance of his Quartet No 3 ended, to thunderous applause and a standing ovation, Raminsh quipped with his characteristic twinkle, “I’ve never heard it played so well.” And indeed Patricia Shih on first violin, Yuel Yawney on second violin, Nikita Pogrebnoy on viola and Christine Pilgrim Sungyong Lim on cello performed with unsurpassed clarity, integrity and artistry; energy too, particularly in Shih’s case. They enthused about Raminsh’s Quartet No 3 and plan to include it in their regular programming. “They’re wondering when I’ll come up with Quartet No 4,” said Raminsh. “I’m wondering too. Quartets are hard to write.” Effusive epithets regarding Borealis’ immaculate precision and musicianship also applied to the other works on the program, Beethoven’s Quartet No 4 in C Minor and Dvorak’s Quartet No 12 in F Major (subtitled the American). Unlike the American, Raminsh’s Quartet No 3 is not yet subtitled. And instead of an all-encompassing key

Although cellist Sungyong Lim only recently replaced long-time Borealis member Bo Peng, he shone in exquisite solo interludes in the American. In fact, every member shone individually at varying intervals. Their music sounded like a distinguished, mellifluous conversation. When one instrument

soared above the rest, the others made room for it. If only parliamentary debates could be conducted with such delicacy and deftness. But Borealis members weren’t the only virtuosos on stage. Seventeen-year-old violinist Julien Haynes, accompanied on piano by Lauren Dvorak, opened the concert with Vittorio Monti’s version of the Hungarian traditional dance Czáardás (pronounced shardash), with a maturity beyond his years. Liszt, Brahms, Delibes and Tchaikovsky have also written versions of Czárdás, which derives from the word czárda, meaning tavern, and, according to some, was used by the Hungarians to inspire their youth to join the military. However, the audience loved Monti’s version, perhaps because of its familiarity. And everyone loved Haynes’s rendition of it, disregarding the mistake he masked with panache when enthusiasm overtook accuracy towards the end. One minor disappointment: the audience didn’t “rise to the occasion” to invite the final encore Borealis so richly deserved. Perhaps they found the program choices too unfamiliar or a tad long. And, despite the elegant stage dressing, flamboyant foyer display and innovative fundraiser, selling piano keys for NOCCA’s replacement Steinway grand, those present didn’t quite embrace the gala spirit that volunteers worked so painstakingly to create. But they will get another chance to enjoy NOCCA’s diverse programming Nov. 1 when Christine Tassen et Les Imposteurs perform gypsy jazz with a different flavour, but with the same flair as Borealis.

Pumpkin is the star
e have so much to be thankful for in this great country of ours and with Thanksgiving fast approaching, many of us are looking forward to celebrating with traditional turkey, or other specialty dinners, pumpkin pies or perhaps apple. Sometimes I think Thanksgiving desserts should be rich, decadent and laced with the satinsmooth texture of pumpkin, and not always in a pie. If you’re looking for Cathi Litzenberger something sophisticated and dazzling to place upon your Thanksgiving table, try either of the following dessert recipes. Both have pumpkin, pecans and whipped cream. Pumpkin Delight Dessert 1 cup flour ½ cup butter (softened) ½ cup plus ¼ cup pecans, chopped 8 oz. cream cheese, softened 1 cup powdered sugar 3 cups whipped topping, divided 2½ cups milk 3 small pkgs. white chocolate instant pudding mix (or vanilla), 3.4 oz. boxes
kitchen wit & wisdom
1 - 15 oz. can pumpkin 1 tsp. pumpkin spice Layer 1: Mix flour, butter and ½ cup pecans together. Press into a greased 9x9 or 9x13 pan. Bake for 15 minutes at 350 F, then remove and let cool. Layer 2: Blend cream cheese and powdered sugar together, add 1 cup of whipped topping and spread over cooled crust. Layer 3: Mix milk, pudding mix, canned pumpkin, pumpkin spice and 1 cup whipped topping until smooth. Spread over top of layer 2. Layer 4: Spread remaining 1 cup of whipped topping, sprinkle with pecans. Let chill for 3 hours or until set. Pumpkin Maple Pecan Cheesecake 1 -1/3 cups graham cracker crumbs (from approximately 12 graham crackers) 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup butter, melted 3 (8-oz.) pkgs. cream cheese, softened 1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk 1 (15-oz.) can pumpkin 3 large eggs, at room temperature for 30 minutes 1/4 cup pure maple syrup 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt Maple Pecan Glaze: 1 cup whipping cream
3/4 cup pure maple syrup 3/4 cup chopped pecans Preheat the oven to 325 F. For the cheesecake: Finely crush the graham crackers in a plastic bag with a rolling pin or use a food processor. In a large bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter and firmly press into the bottom of 9-inch springform pan. In a standing mixer with a paddle attachment, mix the cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually mix in the sweetened condensed milk until smooth. With the mixer on medium, add the pumpkin, eggs, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Mix well and pour into the springform pan. Bake until the centre appears nearly set, but jiggles a little when shaken, 1 hour and 15 minutes. Cool for 1 hour. Cover and chill overnight, or for at least 4 hours. For the glaze: In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the whipping cream and pure maple syrup and bring it to a boil. Boil until slightly thickened, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the chopped pecans. Cover and chill until time to serve. Stir before serving. To serve: Spoon the Maple Pecan Glaze over the cheesecake.

There is a lot to celebrate about breastfeeding, including a community that supports breastfeeding mothers. Breastfeeding week in Canada is Oct. 1 to 7, and the theme of this year’s celebration is “Breastfeeding and Work – Let’s Make it Work!” Join us this Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon at the Vernon library for a breastfeeding celebration event. Everyone is invited to come out and hear how mothers in our community, including a flight attendant, have successfully combined work and breastfeeding. Lawyer Nick Jacob of Davidson Pringle will speak on breastfeeding as a human right and Linda Boyd, public health dietitian, will share tips for choosing breastfeeding-friendly child care. At 11 a.m., breastfeeding mothers will be invited to “latch on” their babies as part of the Breastfeeding Challenge, an annual event across Canada and in countries around the world to see who has the most breastfeeding babies (as a percentage of the birthrate) “latched on” at 11 a.m.

About to celebrate her 50th birthday (at the end of the month), the wife of 26 years and mother of two grown children continues to fight the disease which affects one in 10 Canadians. Her first transplant
was thanks to her husband Chris’ donation and the Living Donor Paired Exchange Program (since Chris wasn’t a direct match for her rare blood type). “Chris is thriving. He just got tested and his function is 50 per cent. You can’t get better than that for one kidney,” said Marioni. “I have had a harder time of it. Everything that the post-transplant

er,” said Marioni, who also volunteers for B.C. Transplant and is helping out with the walk as much as she is able. “After all, isn’t that what it is all about?” And her dedication to the Kidney Foundation runs deep, for its support during her fight and recovery from her transplant. “The Kidney Foundation helped with the financial strain incurred from loss of wages, relocation to medicine.” Along with such support for those affected by kidney disease, the foundation is funding research and education so that people like Marioni can realize a cure in her lifetime. “If you are unable to donate please consider walking by my side in Vernon on Oct. 4 or volunteering your time. Anything is appreciated.”

Indigenous protocol signed at OC Morning Star Staff
Okanagan College and several First Nations and Metis partners have signed a commitment that recognizes the school’s responsibility to indigenous education and collaboration with aboriginal communities. The indigenous education protocol was developed by Colleges and Institutes Canada. “Okanagan College has been strengthening our service and connection to the First Nations and Metis of our region over the past decade,” said Okanagan College president Jim Hamilton. “We have seen significant growth in the number of aboriginal students who choose our institution for their education. Last year, we had 1,535 aboriginal students attend OC, more than three times the number who
attended in 2005-06.” While pleased with the progress made, Hamilton admits other steps need to be taken. “We can do more in terms of access and supporting student success, and in working with bands and friendship centres, Metis groups and other associations to learn indigenous knowledge, culture and traditions for the benefit of all.” Okanagan College was joined at the signing ceremony by representatives of the Okanagan Indian Band, the Metis Association
of Salmon Arm, the Ki-Low-Na Friendship Society, the Westbank First Nation and the Metis Community Service Society of B.C. Allan Louis, an OKIB councillor, recognized the importance of education for the aboriginal community and the significant growth that has taken place at the college since he attended in the early 1990s. “There were only five First Nations students here then,” he said. “This many students is tremendous. Education is key for our community.”

Teachers training
Celebrate the Savings!

TOM FLETCHER Black Press
B.C. teachers switching to the education ministry’s new curriculum this year will use 10 hours of classroom time to train on it. Education Minister Mike Bernier said training the first 2,000 teachers to deliver the new curriculum this year will cost $1 million and take the equivalent of two teaching days. It’s up to school districts to decide how that time is organized, but it may mean extra non-instructional days or parts of days when students would be sent home early. The new curriculum is being piloted this year for kindergarten through Grade 9 and will become mandatory across the province starting next fall. For the next two years, teachers across B.C. will use one of their current professional development days for curriculum training and an additional five hours, the equivalent of one classroom day, will also be devoted to the new curriculum.

ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
For one of the few times during a long curling season, Vernon’s Jim Cotter rink gets to sleep in their own beds and not live out of a suitcase. The reigning B.C. men’s champion and his rink of third Ryan Kuhn, second Tyrel Griffith and lead Rick Sawatsky will be among the favourites in the 12-team men’s draw at the annual Prestige Hotels and Resorts Curling Classic which begins Thursday. “For us, it’s always nice to be able to play in front of family and friends who may not always have the opportunity to come and watch us,” said Sawatsky. “To play on Merk’s (curling club manager and ice maker extraordinaire Dave Merklinger) ice is always a treat. He’s one of the best in the world. The ice is always good in Vernon.” It will be the Cotter team’s first action since a 12-1 road trip to Ontario and Newfoundland to start the season, a trip that saw them reach the semis in Oakville, then win the Tier 2 Division at the Grand Slam of Curling Tour Challenge in Paradise, N.L. “The one loss was an extra-end game that we could have easily won,” said Sawatsky. “Everyone is playing well and we hope to build on that and keep the train rolling.” The men’s event opens Friday at 4:30 p.m. Cotter - the 2012 Prestige winner – is one of four teams to receive a first-round bye, thanks to their points total on the World Curling Tour. They play Friday at 9:30 p.m. versus the winner of a game between defending champ Grant Dezura of Maple Ridge and Vernon’s Thomas Love.

Jacob Molitwenik of the Vernon Christian School Royals goes up for a spike against Kelowna Christian School Knights in high school volleyball play Friday at VCS.
The Fulton Maroons went undefeated in the 51st annual UBC Thunderbird Senior Boys Volleyball Tournament in Vancouver. Ranked third in AA, Fulton dispatched the No. 2 Langley Fundamental Titans 25-23, 25-21 in Saturday’s final of the 40-team event. “The boys were exhausted, since they had six matches on Saturday,” said Fulton head coach Richard Bedard. “But they pulled it out without losing a set all weekend. I couldn’t be more happy with their consistency and composure. A good start to the season.” All-star awards went to Fulton outside hitters Danny Aspenlieder and Landon Currie, who were both in the summer provincial program. In pool play, the Maroons grounded David Thompson, Walnut Grove, Steveston-London and Carver Christian, all Lower Mainland teams. The Maroons mauled the George Elliot Coyotes of Lake Country 25-13, 25-13 in the round of 16 before toppling Delta AAA Pacers 25-23, 25-14. Fulton was down 12-5 in Game 1. This led to a semifinal against the Cochrane Cobras of Alberta with Fulton prevailing 25-12, 25-13. “We were concerned about their size, and that they had just beat AAA Kelowna Secondary in the quarters. But the boys stuck with their consistent play and they came out on top again,” said Bedard. Fulton is in the MEI tournament
Camels fall to United Morning Star Staff
The top two teams in the Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ Soccer League will meet for the playoff title Sunday (1 p.m.) at Kings Park in Penticton. Second-place Penticton United advanced by ground the visiting Okanagan Spring Brewery Camels 4-0 Monday night. League champion Brown Benefits brushed back the North Country Appraisals Kickers 5-2 in the other semi under the lights at Beasley Park in Lake Country. Zeke Pescada netted Penticton’s winner in the opening minute and the half ended 1-0. Humpback keeper Dave Dutcher, who was reportedly seen backstage at last week’s AC/DC concert in Vancouver, earned the Heavy Metal Digest Man of the Match for the Camels. “Dutch stood on his head for the first 20 minutes before we settled down,” said Camel veteran Ron Krause, who pulled his hamstring in warm-up and didn’t play. “He was robbing them left and right and stopped a few breakaways.” Kevin Kothlow, Derrick Webb and Ron Derksen rounded out the Penticton scoring and several good saves by Tony Sheremeta kept the Camels off the scoresheet despite a strong effort. “We just missed on a couple of headers and their goalie made some good saves on some other chances we had,” added Krause. “We were missing six starters who would have really helped us.” Tony Gonzales and Don Brown each supplied a
deuce as Browns knocked out the Kickers, who got two goals from Steve Fagan. North Country came out determined at the start and generated some good chances but Brown’s keeper Steven Heiss made some key saves to hold them off. In B side play, Bryan Schenker scored twice as Turn-Key Controls Ogopogos bounced Bosman Accounting 5-0 at Marshall Field #1. Schenker sailed a 20-yard shot over the net in the opening minute and Bosman responded with striker Carl McLennan getting stoned by a charging Pogo keeper Tim Clarke on a breakaway. Mark Grace just missed the Pogo net on another solid chance with Roland Riedstra performing a glorious swan dive into the grass to nod in a cross from Nolan Clark to open the scoring. Schenker cakewalked through the Bosman defence for his first snipe and then wired a hard pass from Volker Otto for his second. Ian Bos, on a nice feed from ageless Brad Conlin, and Clint Dickinson, on a top-cheddar snipe, finished the offence. Keeper Yogi Kongsdorf recorded numerous big saves to take the Maple Leaf Meats Man of the Match for Bosman. Turn-Key went unbeaten through the double round-robin playoffs and will battle the Rented Mules for the B Cup Sunday, 11 a.m. in Penticton. The Mules tied Cantinas 1-1 Monday night and advance on a better goal differential.

The Revelstoke Avalanche brushed off the Royals 16-25, 25-23, 15-13 in the semifinals Saturday afternoon with Royals co-captains Caleb Haberstock and Landon Matties recording several key blocks and kills. “We were our own worst enemy in the second set as our first five serves were errors, “ said coach Chris Bannick. “We let them get a quick lead. We clawed our way back to make it close. The third set was a real battle.” Royals middle Jacob Molitwenik was selected as an all-star. Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops won the final 25-17, 25-20 over the Avalanche. In pool play, the No. 3 A ranked Royals swept No. 4 Kelowna Christian Knights and Revelstoke Avalanche before falling 26-24, 25-21 to Valleyview. Back row defensive specialist Aaron Botterill registered key digs and passes in the late stages of the Kelowna match, while setter Brennan Seltzer served up three aces versus Revelstoke. Molitwenik rang up seven kills and two solo blocks, while outside hitter Haberstock chipped in with six kills and three ace serves against the Vikings. The Royals ended pool play icing the South Okanagan Hornets with Brian Ferguson and Noah Christensen giving solid passing on serve receive.

Vipers to shake up lines on road trip KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
On paper, the Vernon Vipers appear to be a one-line hockey team. Head coach/GM Mark Ferner will address that fact as the 3-3-0-1 Vipers begin a three-game B.C. Hockey League road trek Friday on the Sunshine Coast versus the Powell River Kings. Vernon went 1-1 in the fifth Bauer Showcase last weekend in Chilliwack, rallying for a 4-3 double overtime win over the Cowichan Valley Capitals Sunday morning after losing 3-2 to the unbeaten Wenatchee Wild Saturday afternoon. The Vipers’ No. 1 unit of Liam Finlay, Odeen Tufto and Steven Jandric has accounted for half of the team’s 27 goals through seven games. Aside from d-man Bo Pellah, who scored against the Caps, the threesome represented Vernon’s entire offence at the Showcase. “Yah, we’re going to mix the lines up a bit and get some guys going,” said Ferner. “We’ve gotta get Jagger (second-year F Williamson, 17) going. He’s had no luck. He’s having pucks bounce off his stick and stuff like that, things that normally happen
to a 16-year-old.” The Vipers gave up a shorthanded snipe to Patrick Geary and a powerplay goal to Jared Domin while falling behind 2-0 after 20 minutes against Cowichan Valley. Darien Craighead made it 3-0 Caps five minutes into the second frame before the Vipers big line went to work. Tufto, from Jandric and d-man Mitchell Oliver, responded midway through the second. Jandric, with a quick release top cheddar, from Oliver and Griffin James, pulled Vernon within one 4:34 into the third. Finlay registered the equalized eight minutes later with Jandrick and Tufto assisting. After a tight-checking 4-on-4 overtime session, Tufto beat Cowichan goalie Lane Michasiw with 23 seconds left in 3-on-3 play. Finlay drew the helper. Jandric, an 18-year-old rookie out of Prince George, earned first star. “He played well,” said Ferner. “He did the things we need to him to do and that’s skate hard down the wing. He plays a north-south game and those other two play east-west. He has a real good compete (level) to his game.” Ferner said the Vipers got a huge lift when alternate captain Riley Brandt steam-
Vandenbrink delivers Morning Star Staff
Keith Vandenbrink was no match for his rivals in 2015. The Hillview pro won the $4,000 Callaway Interior Professional Golf Association’s 2015 match play tournament, defeating Kelowna’s Greg Forbes of Black Mountain 3 and 2 in the championship match played at the Okanagan Golf Club’s Bear course in Kelowna. Vandenbrink bogeyed the second hole to go one down, but a Forbes bogey on No. 6 squared the match. Vandenbrink pocketed $500. Each player scored birdies on back-to-back holes and the match was all-square heading to the back nine where Vandenbrink took control. Forbes bogeyed 10 and 11, giving
Vandenbrink a two-hole lead, which he increased to three with a birdie on No. 12. The next two holes were tied and Vandenbrink was in a position to close out the match on No. 15 after holing an 18-foot birdie putt. With pressure on to extend the match, Forbes calmly rolled in a 12-foot birdie putt of his own. Vandenbrink finally put the match away on the par 4, 441-yard 16th hole. After each player hit solid drives and wedges to the green, Vandenbrink was a foot away from a gimme birdie which Forbes conceded, ending the match. Vandenbrink iced Russ Latimer of Kelowna’s Black Mountain in earlier semifinals in Salmon Arm.

Their dee aren’t overly mobile, but they move the puck and their goalie is good.” The Wild got 19 stops from Detroit Red Wings draft Chase Perry, none better than the cross-crease dazzler when he denied Pellah on a 2-on-1. Perry was a fifth-round choice of Detroit
in 2014 and played last year for the woeful Colorado College Tigers. He was previously with Wenatchee in the NAHL. Troy Conzo, Hunter Alden and Tyler Rockwell counted Wenatchee goals, while Jandric and Jimmy Lambert responded for the Snakes. Viper veteran Jarrod Schamerhorn recorded 36 saves to earn third star.

Vernon’s Enzo Paal, left, of the UBC Okanagan Heat, beats Justin Wallace of the UBC T-Birds to a loose ball.
Paal gives Heat 2-2 tie Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Enzo Paal scored a second-half goal from the penalty spot to give the UBC Okanagan Heat a 2-2 tie with the 10th-ranked University of Victoria Vikings in CIS men’s university soccer action Friday in Victoria. It was Paal’s first goal of the season. The 6-foot4, 185-pound midfielder/striker is a third-year arts student. The Heat (1-3-1) concluded the weekend with a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to the UBC Thunderbirds in Vancouver. UBC escaped with the win late in stoppage time when first-year midfielder Kerman Pannu retrieved a rebound from the Heat keeper Tait Cuthill and pelted it into the lower left-hand corner. Pannu was subbed into the game in the 78th minute as one of head coach Mike Mosher’s attempts to spark the lackluster Thunderbirds in the second half. Gagan Dosanjh also converted for UBC with Luke Warkentin finding the net for UBC Okanagan. Both teams went head to head for the full 90
minutes with the Heat nearly coming away with their second straight draw on the road, and their first points ever off of the T-Birds only to be disheartened seconds before the whistle blew by Pannu’s goal. Warkentin, a native of Surrey, opened the scoring against the ‘Birds, whose keepr Chad Bush came out to meet a Heat attacker, foiled his shot on goal, but lost control of the ball when Warkentin jumped over him, evening the score at 1-1. The Heat are still in fifth place just two points behind Trinity Western Spartans at 1-3-1. The Heat visit Fraser Valley Cascades at Exhibition Field in Chilliwack Friday at 4 p.m. and then face Trinity Western Saturday 7:15 p.m. at Langley Rogers Park. In women’s action, Vernon’s Michelle Smith scored UBCO’s goal in its home opener, a 2-1 loss to UBC Saturday at the Nonis Sports Field. Smith, a senior, fired a booming shot into the top right corner of the net for her third goal in seven games in the 72nd minute. The Heat (1-4-3) fell 5-1 to UVIC Sunday afternoon at home.

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

conditions are appropriate. Under regional district and local fire bylaws when the fire hazard allows, permitted open burning may start Oct. 1 and must be complete on April 30. Fire chiefs may change the dates depending on the fire hazard in their area. Eligible property owners must obtain a permit from their local fire department. Those eligible to burn within the four Central Okanagan East or Central Okanagan West electoral area fire districts may obtain a permit by calling the Regional District at 250469-6223 (long distance collect calls are accepted) weekdays only between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., excluding holidays. Before lighting any fire, property owners with a valid permit must call the toll-free outdoor burning hotline 1-855262-2876 (BURN). It will tell them if open burning is allowed on a particular day. Both the venting and air quality conditions must be good in order for burning to occur within Central Okanagan fire jurisdictions. This information will be available each day after 8 a.m. at regionaldistrict.com/airquality.
