NDP edging Tories in local poll RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

A poll is showing a tight two-way race in North Okanagan-Shuswap but the survey has its critics. When asked if a federal election were held today, which party and its candidate in the riding of North OkanaganShuswap would you most likely vote for or be learning towards at this time, an Oraclepoll Research survey commissioned by a group of local citizens shows 41 per cent support for the NDP, 38 per cent for the Conservatives, 12 per cent for the Liberals and nine per cent for the Greens. “Based on the conversations at the doorstep and at forums, we’re hearing those results,” said Jacqui Gingras, with the NDP. The results are based on 85 per Warren Bell cent of the sample of decided voters polled. Fifteen per cent stated they had not made up their mind about who they will support. “We don’t put all of our emphasis on polls and we have to work hard. We have to reach as many people as possible,” said Gingras. Conservative Mel Arnold says he’s focused on election day, Oct. 19. “I’m hearing it’s a little tighter than usual but I’m hearing we have good support,” he said. Arnold questions the poll’s sample size of 312 people. “Polling in the last few years has been a real challenge and there’s no clear outcome until election day,” he said. Liberal Cindy Derkaz dismisses the poll and believes the group of citizens is connected to Renewing Democracy Through Co-operation. “The group was started by Jacqui Gingras and she has been very involved in it,” said Derkaz. “The whole poll is rather dubious. The sample size is very small. Our results from 23,000 attempted contacts and door knockings show something different. We are

very strong and ahead of the NDP.” Warren Bell, spokesperson for the residents who commissioned the poll, says some are members of Renewing Democracy and some are not, and the poll was nonpartisan. “We chose deliberately to do it as a group of citizens. A poll is a little more objective than guess work,” he said. “We wanted to be separate from anything (groups) that had a formal structure.” Gingras confirms she was a member of Renewing Democracy but stepped away when the election campaign began. “I haven’t contributed any money to the poll or participated in the poll,” she said. Green Chris George is not surprised by the poll showing nine per cent support for his party. “That’s pretty consistent with the results in 2011 and what we’ve been hearing,” he said. “In 2011, we garnered 10.7 per cent of the vote and that was with a full campaign. We haven’t gone as flat out (in 2015) and to have similar results as 2011 is a good thing.”

CONGRATULATIONS TO STEVE RUSSELL RUSSELL, SALES PERSON OF THE MONTH FOR SEPTEMBER!

Those conducting the poll selected phone numbers at random and that is important, says Ron McGivern, who teaches survey design at Thompson Rivers University. “The absolute key to polling is to have random sampling. That allows you, for example, a small size. It allows you to generalize out to the larger population base, and I think the neat part is it allows you through rather efficient methods, with a concern to cost, to get the pulse on a particular issue of a population,” he said. The citizens behind the poll describe themselves as not being affiliated with any party or special interest, and their goal is to assist voters in making a decision. However, a letter from the group states, “It is clear that if you are a voter who wants a regime change, then you should vote for the candidate, other than the Conservative Party candidate, who is highest in the standings. On the other hand, if you want to maintain the status quo as is, then you should vote for the Conservative Party candidate.” Bell denies his group is anti-Conservative. “We wanted to try as hard as we could to give everyone an option to do what they want to do.” A series of questions were used during the poll. Asked, “Is there a chance that you may switch your vote for this party and its candidate between now and election day,” 22.7 per cent (60 of 264) respondents said yes. To the follow up question, “Is there a party or several parties you may be leaning towards,” 31.3 per cent of the respondents (15) said Liberal camp, 27.1 (13) the Conservatives, 20.8 per cent (10) the NDP, 8.3 per cent (4) Green, and 12.5 per cent (6) said they didn’t know. The Oraclepoll Research poll was conducted Oct. 5 and 6 in the North Okanagan-Shuswap. A total of 312 people 18 years and over were interviewed and the margin of error is plus or minus 5.5 per cent, 19 out of 20 times. The survey was conducted using computer-assisted techniques of phone interviewing and random number selection.

Vernon stars dance up $80,500 for Hospice

Morning Star Staff

ancing with the Vernon Stars achieved a significant milestone. A total of $80,500 was raised Oct. 2, the most ever for the event, with the funds going to the North Okanagan Hospice Society. “We couldn’t be more pleased with the results,” said Ruth Edwards, society executive director. More than 320 people were entertained by the nine couples who took to the dance floor — Sue and Pete Solymosi, Bonnie and Ed Huber, Sally and Todd Benson, Ellie and Curt Jensen, Susan and Jeff Prince, Heidi Klein and Taylor Belanger, Charmaine Scherck and Guy Basaraba, Roxy Rollins and Joe Marcotte and Sareena Nickoli and Brian Martin. Securing the community favourite and fan favourite awards were Klein and Belanger. They raised a record $11,500. Second place was Scherck and Basaraba at $7,700. “It was great fun to see the friendly, competitive camaraderie between the couples who were challenging each other to raise more votes,” said Edwards. The winners for the judges favourite award were Sue and Pete Solymosi. “All of the dancers excelled in their dance routines and costumes and they were enthusiastic from the very start,” said Edwards. “We really do have more than just three winners.” The dance portion of the event was produced by Ruth McGrath and Tracy Kaye Holly and they coached all of the couples. The judges were Galina Labun, Akbal Mund, Rob Ellis and April Lyn Kimble. Event festivities also included a live auction conducted by Kevin Rothwell. “Dancing with the Vernon Stars 2015 was an absolutely fabulous event. The dancers, the venue, the patrons, the energy – everything exceeded our expectations,” said Edwards. “We elevated our fundraising goal this year to $80,000, and our sponsors, suppliers, dancers, coaches, judges and organizers exceeded all expectations. We are so thankful to all those who participated. On behalf of those we serve, we thank the community of the North Okanagan for their support of end-of-life care.”

Ministry delays arena plan

The Dyck family welcomes you to our new distillery on 24th Street

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

The provincial government insists it’s not being obstructionist when it comes to a new arena. The Regional District of North Okanagan received word from the Ministry of Community Development Tuesday that it won’t sign off on a borrowing referendum to replace Civic Arena as an ice sheet and twin Kal Tire Place. “The ministry continues to work with the City of Vernon and the Regional District of North Okanagan in respect of the ice sheet project in Greater Vernon,” states the ministry in an e-mail. “When a decision on the matter is provided to the two jurisdictions, we anticipate a decision will be made to communicate that to the public.” It is the second time RDNO’s plans for a referendum have met with resistance in Victoria. “We’re all surprised because we followed the process they suggested,” said Juliette Cunningham, Greater Vernon Advisory Committee chairperson, of the second round of concerns being raised. “Everything that was sent to them was what they recommended.” RDNO hoped to hold a borrowing referendum in November 2014 but the provincial government blocked that process because Kal Tire Place is owned by the City of Vernon. The new strategy was for the regional district to borrow the funds and own the twinned ice sheet at Kal Tire Place. A long-term lease would place it in the hands of the city, which would take over ownership in 20 years. However, the ministry appears to still have concerns about RDNO borrowing money for a facility that will eventually be owned by the city. The regional district will consider its next steps. “We’re trying to find common ground (with the ministry). We’re still hopeful,” said David Sewell, chief administrative officer. “They have not said no but they have not said yes. They’ve asked for additional information.” While the process for a potential referendum proceeds, the lifespan of Civic Arena, which was built in the 1930s, remains in doubt. “It’s a challenge for us because Civic is no longer suitable for an ice surface,” said Cunningham. “Taxpayers should have an opportunity to support this (new ice sheet) or not and we’re not even being given the opportunity. The demand for ice is still there.”

Ranch offers reward for poaching info RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

PHOTO SUBMITTED

The remains of a cow were left after being shot illegally on Coldstream Ranch range lands.

Poachers are leaving cows to rot. Three cows have been shot illegally on Coldstream Ranch range lands since the beginning of October. “They are taking the hind quarters and leaving the rest,” said Pete Wise, with range patrol. However, in one case, a cow was shot and no meat was removed. Two of the incidents have occurred up the King Edward Lake Road while the other was near Postill Lake. “If they are doing this to cattle, they are also doing this to wildlife,” said Wise, adding that he hopes residents visiting the bush will report any suspicious activity. “We need to get some action going on this.” Coldstream Ranch is prepared to pay a $1,000

reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the individuals involved in the killing of the cattle. The animals are worth between $2,000 and $3,000. “The cows are very valuable and we are also losing future production because all of them are bred. You are losing a calf,” said Wise. Anyone with information about these shooting is asked to call the RCMP or Crime Stoppers.

Throwing a lit cigarette onto his mattress while his roommate slept in a neighbouring bedroom was, admitted the accused, “effing stupid.” Brandan Joshua Milligan Boyce, 20, pleaded guilty to arson in connection with a fire at a Vernon townhouse unit in the 1900 block of 44th Street in July 2014. Boyce, who turned himself into police the same day of the fire, was sentenced to two years in jail followed by two years of probation for the arson in Vernon Provincial Court Tuesday. He was also sentenced to 61 days and fined $250 for three breaches of probation which happened after the fire. Boyce has been in custody since May 2015 and was given credit for time already served, meaning he’ll face about 17 months of new jail time.

Court heard that the fire began on July 17, 2014, at 7:30 a.m., and that the source of the fire was Boyce’s mattress after a lit cigarette had been tossed onto it. Boyce’s roommate was asleep in a neighbouring bedroom when the fire started. The blaze broke through the ceiling of the townhouse unit. The roommate and a mother and her 15-year-old daughter of the neighbouring townhouse were evacuated from the scene. There was nearly $138,000 in damage to the townhouses as a result of the fire. “Crown is not alleging the fire was pre-meditated as there was no accelerant found,” said Crown lawyer Margaret Cissell. “But Crown submits Mr. Boyce was well aware his roommate was sleeping upstairs.” Boyce told a psychiatrist he had an altercation with the roommate the night before, and

stated the roommate had “struck him with a crescent wrench and trashed his room,” making him angry. Boyce’s lawyer, Nicholas Jacob, said his client was intoxicated at the time of the offence and “out of his mind” with anger over the assault and the trashing of his room. Boyce turned himself into the RCMP the afternoon of the fire. “He has expressed remorse and has said he’s sorry but sorry doesn’t cut it,” said Jacob. “He is extremely thankful nobody was seriously injured.” Judge Mark Takahashi agreed with Crown’s request for a twoyear sentence followed by two years probation. Defence had been seeking a sentence of two years less a day down to 18 months. Boyce was also given a mandatory 10-year firearms prohibition.

There’s been a major shift at Vernon city hall. Kim Flick, director of community development, has been named director of community development and engineering, following the merger of the two separate departments. “Given how closely engineering and community development work together, it makes sense to amalgamate the two teams into a single division under a single director,” said Mayor Akbal Mund. “The director of this division needs to be a leader who can effectively communicate a clear purpose to the team and provide value to our residents and business partners. I have every confidence that Ms.

Flick will lead the new, combined team to success.” The position of engineering director has been vacant since earlier this year when Rob Dickinson pursued private sector opportunities in the Prairies. Will Pearce, chief administrative officer, says the amalgamation of the departments will meet development and community goals. “We evolve to address changes in our work environment, to reflect contemporary practices, the policy direction of council and the expectations of our clients,” said Pearce. “This means we seek and implement the most cost-efficient means to deliver the expected service levels.”

Water fight breaks out over plan RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Frustration levels over the future of water is boiling over among politicians. Director Jim Garlick criticized some of his colleagues during back and forth on the master water plan at Thursday’s Greater Vernon Advisory Committee meeting. “Everyone has to act like adults and not be silly — all of us,” he said. That comment garnered support from chairperson Juliette

“Everyone has to act like adults and not be silly.” — Jim Garlick

Cunningham. “I couldn’t have said it better,” she said. Director Gyula Kiss, who has been critical of the master water plan, was not impressed with Garlick. “He’s a teacher and I guess he think he’s talking to kids,” said Kiss

after the meeting. “I’m bringing up issues as a person who reads the master water plan and wants to bring forward reasonable options. When I make comments, I see the sneers.” Garlick’s comments were made just after

director Bob Spiers had proposed a motion to budget funds for an independent review of the MWP. “If he was suggesting I was being silly, I will take it with a grain of salt. I have no idea of what he was talking about,” said Spiers. The Citizens for Changes to the Master Water Plan asked for an independent engineering consultant to be hired but GVAC voted Thursday to defer a decision until the MWP has been reviewed by the stake-

holder advisory committee. When asked to clarify his statement, Garlick says there is a need for everyone at the table to look at how to handle the review process. “If you have concerns, bring them forward. Don’t just keep dragging them out,” he said. “If we operate that way, we will keep spinning our wheels. I don’t like to see the bickering back and forth.” Recognizing Kiss’ concerns about the

MWP, Garlick urged him to bring questions forward but to let the process proceed. “What we need to do is get information and not have debates on this plan and that plan,” said Garlick.

The contentious issue of air quality is smouldering in the North Okanagan. Five years after a formal program died, there are some calls for the Regional District of North Okanagan to reconsider an air quality committee. “We’ve got a background level at Doug Dirk the provincial standard and with new monitoring, it will be in the red zone,” said Doug Dirk, Coldstream director, Wednesday. “There needs to be some attention at the board level.” However, Dirk admits considerable

debate led to the previous air pollution controls being shelved. “People were resistant to dealing with (wood) stoves and burning, especially in the rural areas. The whole thing fell apart.” And some of that resistance remains, with Lumby director Kevin Acton voting against investigating the possibility of an air quality service. Acton insists action has already been taken and more bureaucracy is not needed. “Lumby has an anti-idling bylaw and we’re working on a transportation plan and putting in electric car plug-ins.” Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director, voted to consider a function, but has some doubts as to what the district can do to reduce pollution. “We have no control over wildfires. We have no control over vehicle emis-

Plan in works to sell Bennett parking lot RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

No details are being revealed yet about the sale of publicly owned land in downtown Vernon. The Interior Health Authority has announced that an 85-bed residential care facility will be constructed at 3006 29th Avenue, also known as the City of Vernon’s Bennett parking lot. “I can’t give you any information. It’s still in-camera,” said Coun. Bob Spiers when asked about whether the property has been sold to H & H Total Care Services. A similar response also came from Mayor Akbal Mund. “We are still in-camera because it’s a land acquisition and the process is still underway.” According to the city, negotiations are underway and the sale is expected soon. “The sale of city-owned lands is at

the discretion of council,” said Will Pearce, chief administrative officer. “Terms and conditions are being considered by council. As is typical to municipalities and consistent with sound business practice and governing legislation, consideration of terms of sale on land are an incamera or confidential) item.” The care home will be a multistorey building with 85 publiclyfunded and five private complex care beds, as well as additional private assisted living beds. IHA says construction is anticipated to begin this year, with occupancy expected in mid-2017. While the Bennett parking lot will be developed, Mund is confident parking options downtown will not be reduced because the city-owned New Delhi building is being demolished. “There will be some parking occur there,” he said.

sions,” he said. “If we want people to change out wood stoves, what’s the incentive?” If RDNO decides to proceed with an air quality function, the earliest it could proceed is 2017. On Wednesday, directors heard from the Ministry of Environment and open burning and wood stoves were identified as the leading sources of pollution. It was pointed out that the narrower valley in the North Okanagan and cooler temperatures impact venting and air quality. The ministry is currently looking to establish air quality monitoring as part of the new pellet plant in Lavington. “We’re trying to obtain a suitable site,” said Tarek Ayache, an air quality meteorologist. The long-term goal is to also have mobile monitors throughout the region.

Thankful

t’s one of the few times in my life I’ve listened to the voice in my head and been truly thankful. “Go to the walk-in clinic,” said the voice. “You need to go to the walk-in clinic. Now.” It was late August. I was having pains in the middle of my chest, accompanied by a cough. As usual, I was ignoring it, hoping the pain would go away on its own, or figuring it was heartburn – though there was no actual “burn” feeling like I normally get when I KNOW I have Roger Knox heartburn – or maybe I’d pulled a muscle from the cough. I’ve done that before. But I was on Facebook – I probably should have listened to the voice when it said “you don’t need to be on Facebook again” – when I read about a friend of mine who had the same symptoms I did and, yada, yada, yada, he had been sent by air ambulance to Vancouver and had a stint implanted in his chest. Yikes. I went to the walk-in clinic. The doctor thought I was having heartburn but ordered some blood work. The results weren’t good but at least I had some answers. And I could start to make changes in my life, which I have done and, so far, the results are very encouraging. I am glad I listened to myself and went to a doctor. And I am thankful that I have a chance to make things better. If there’s one big lament I have in this life (and have not been able to get over), it’s the fact I only got to spend 12 years with my dad before he died. He was my hero, my idol, I loved him more than anything or anyone. And he hated doctors. With a passion.

AT RANDOM

My dad was a boxer. He broke his pinkie in a bout. Rather than go to a doctor to get the finger fixed, he went through life with a crooked pinkie, such was his loathing of the medical profession. Some of that has rubbed off on me. But had my dad gone to a doctor, who knows, he might still be with us, a couple of months shy of turning 96. He may have lived long enough to see me graduate, to hit my first home run, to have a beer with. With my own son turning 16 this month, I don’t want him to go through what I did. I like my doctor. He’s laid back, never on time but he cares about me. I’m thankful for that. As this is the Friday of the Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend, there are a lot of things I’m thankful for: n My son; the greatest gift I have ever received and I hope to be around for many more years to love him, live vicariously through his athletic prowess, embarrass him every once in a while, watch him grow into a fine young man, and have a beer with him; n My son’s mom; She never hears it enough but she does a great job in raising our son; n My family; I don’t know what I’d do or where I’d be without them; n Same goes for my co-workers; n That I still have a job, one that – most days – I enjoy. n A great health care system in Canada; n Long weekends; n Baseball playoffs, leading up to the World Series; n The ability to cast a ballot in next Monday’s federal election; n The greatest friends a guy could have; n For Facebook; it’s a way to keep tabs on those friends; n Thanksgiving dinners; n Nanaimo bars (I’m not giving up everything without a fight).

Successful governments pay close attention to the lessons of history. And one lesson that history has taught us repeatedly is: governments who move towards a more humane society almost always find themselves on the right side of history. It is a lesson that appears lost on B.C.’s Liberal government. A new poll from Insights West shows the vast majority of B.C. residents are opposed to trophy hunting. While a government shouldn’t legislate based on polling, a survey isn’t needed to justify the elimination of such a barbaric practice. The Insights West poll showed 91 per cent of British Columbians oppose hunting animals for sport, and it’s probably fair to say the majority of the province’s residents not only oppose trophy hunting, but are sickened by it. But B.C. Premier Christy Clark is sticking to her guns. Clark responded to questions on the poll by saying she didn’t enter politics to be popular. She said just because something is unpopular doesn’t make it wrong. One has to wonder if the premier has seen the video which recently surfaced showing a grizzly bear being shot repeatedly as it scrambled down a hillside in a vain attempt to survive something that can only be described as torture. In attempts to defend the practice, the premier pointed to the healthy grizzly bear population and her desire to create jobs for people all around the province The poll showed that the opposition to trophy hunting isn’t just coming from urban centres, but rural areas as well. And the revenue ecotourism brings to the province far surpasses anything raised by trophy hunts. It’s only a matter of time before trophy hunting becomes illegal here in B.C. The only question that remains is whether the provincial government will try and get ahead of the issue or be forced to give up their defence of the indefensible. -Black Press

Vote for who you think is the best

s my wife and I make our move across Canada this year, heading from Montreal to Vancouver, we are spending one month in Vernon just as the country prepares to elect their next slate of parliamentarians. I said farewell to the Green campaign I had been helping in Montreal and waited to see what I could do to help the cause here in the Okanagan. I was immensely pleased when I saw Chris George speaking for the first time. He knows the policies and he knows the background. He’s a terrific public speaker. He’s passionate about politics! You can’t just take these qualities for granted, you know. Besides that, Greens had performed extremely well in Okanagan-Shuswap in past elections. In 2011, we beat the Liberals by a few percentage points and in 2008, had done even better than that, not only besting the Liberals but finishing neck and neck with the NDP. Walking through downtown Vernon recently, I was amazed to find how many Vernonites were familiar with Green positions and endorsed them. Having worked on Green campaigns in hostile territory since 2008, I found this all very gratifying. Hooray, B.C. Hooray Vernon. But an old ghost has returned to haunt me: the spectre they call strategic voting. In every single voting cycle we are told, this time is different, vote not for the party and candiTHINK OF THE ELDERLY Will you care for your parents when they need you? I know many seniors in facilities that rarely see their family. Maybe you're just too busy with your job and your kids. And when you do see them, it can be rather unpleasant because they are often miserable and complain about everything. And what do they have to complain about? Don't they have medical professionals at their beck and call? No. In many facilities they do not. Government facilities have insufficient staff and services such as therapy, due to a lack of funding. Whereas, many privately owned facilities neglect our seniors. After all, their investors are expecting those large dividends. And this government allows this "business of neglect" by refusing to enforce adequate standards of care. My research has proven that the senior health care system has been going downhill for years.

date of your choice but against the candidate you fear. This is another idea brought to us by the Good Intentions Paving Company. Here’s why. Currently, about 60 per cent of eligible voters turn up at the polls on election day. Many non-voters feel the old-line parties do not represent them and they stay home. Greens have spent decades convincing Canadians that there is another way and in recent years have reaped real dividends by taking seats at different levels of government. I would also submit we have raised the profile of issues Greens care about. Many new supporters have spent years preparing for and working on the current campaign by various means. To ask these people to abandon their beliefs and undermine any

What level of care will the system provide for you in the future? The citizens of this province must stop this decline, now. Our future depends upon the protest that we make, now. We must raise our voices to a level that can no longer be ignored by this government. Anyone with a personal account of abuse or neglect of a loved one in a facility, can make a difference by emailing me their story which I will forward to the government. Please remember that children learn by example. If they see that you have not taken the time to protect your loved ones, will they protect you? Judy Galley CHECK PRIORITIES Letter writers to this paper – and indeed the editor as well – have devoted an incredible amount of energy and passion into lobbying for a stop light at Stickle Road. I think it’s time to step back and take a long, hard look in

the mirror and make sure we are spending all this energy on the most important thing in our community. Alternatives have been proposed but nothing but a stop light will do, if you believe that the letter writers truly represent public opinion. If you believe the coverage in this paper, this is one of the most important issues facing Vernon. Time to get real, folks. When the risks of global warming are becoming very clear, should we be making life easier for any motorist these days? Are the difficulties of the homeless, the hungry, refugees from Syria or the challenges that our children will face in an environmentally degraded world not more important than a single stop light? I’m not making excuses for any government agency here. All I’m saying is that it’s much easier to get all hot under the collar about something like a stop light or the cost of water than it is

effort or progress that has been made in the interests of a dubious and complicated scheme like strategic voting is to encourage greater apathy and disillusionment with democracy generally. Others, who find the prospect of voting daunting to begin with, will be more discouraged by these additional and confusing considerations. The consensus is that those with the most to gain from low voter turnout are the Conservatives. Worse than this, the strategy ignores any appeal Green policy may have for traditionally conservative voters looking for another option. Greens consider themselves fiscal conservatives. Preserving the environment and removing market distortions while advantaging small business over large corporations are all conservative ideas now best defended by Green policies elaborated in minute detail and available online to all Canadians at all times, election or no. To be clear, when we encourage people to be dismissive of the Green vote, we really have no idea where their votes might migrate if they don’t simply abstain. Here’s a voting strategy: Get to know your candidates and their positions and then vote for the one you like best. If everyone did that, and had done so these past few elections, the nation would likely be having a very different conversation right now. Jonathan Lumer

to actually take personal action to reduce pollution or improve the lot of the downtrodden or to create new jobs. So please folks, this is a good community. Let’s make it great. Take a look in the mirror and ask yourself if you’re working on the important things in life or the trivia. Ritchie Leslie VOTING INDEED Dear politicians: I will be making my decision who to vote for very shortly. I want to hear about plans for Canadian health care, education, environment and economy. Do not try to distract me with diversion topics, the big four are the ones that are at the forefront of my decision making. I would also like to add that my freedoms and rights as a Canadian are extremely important to me, not something I ever take for granted, and my vote will reflect that. Jennifer Greenwood

“We are trying to be proactive and get people to be eyes and ears in the community,” said Coun. Tundra Baird. “We want people to be aware about what goes on around them and to take some responsibility.” Residents can register to become a Block Parent and they provide assistance to children during an emergency, such as bullying. The Block Parent home can also provide help to anyone in distress, including seniors. A local resident recently expressed interest in having Enderby participate in the national Block Parent program. To kick off the program, the city will pay the $60 participation fee, provide signs to qualified Block Parents and purchase materials for program delivery. “Once the Block Parent initiative has been established in Enderby, it is anticipated that general co-ordination will be provided by the participants,” said Tate Bengtson, Enderby’s chief administrative officer. All Block Parents must be screened and agree to an RCMP records check every second year as a condition of the program. Anyone over the age of 18 can apply to be a Block Parent and they do not have to have children. Mayor Greg McCune believes the Block Parent program will link with initiatives the city is pursuing among businesses to keep an eye out for criminal activity. “We want to create awareness that we’re looking after our community,” said McCune. ““We really want to look after each other.”

Candidates speak up in Sicamous LACHLAN LABERE Black Press

A mix of local and national issues were tackled by the North Okanagan-Shuswap riding’s electoral hopefuls during an all-candidates forum in Sicamous Monday. Organized by the Sicamous chamber, the forum offered residents an opportunity to hear the candidates – Conservative Mel Arnold, Liberal Cindy Derkaz, Green Chris George and the NDP’s Jacqui Gingras – respond to pre-written questions in a nondebate format. That, however, didn’t stop the contenders from taking shots at their competitors’ parties. The gauntlet was dropped with opening remarks and Arnold’s touting of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which he said would create a stronger economy for Canada and more jobs. “That trade agreement will open up those doors to expand markets, not just for our dairy producers and our fruit producers, but for our manufacturers, for our innovative technology people that can actually now trade across those borders… by expanding our markets, those are what’s going to enable an area like this to grow and expand,” Arnold later explained when asked about how to improve the local economy. On that topic, Gingras was critical of trade deals conducted in secret, stating the NDP would cut the small business tax by two per cent, work to protect local agriculture and establish a national childcare program. Derkaz touted the need for investment in infrastructure, noting the Liberals will run a deficit to do this, and put the money in the hands of local governments. She also supported

affordable housing and creating more opportunities for agriculture. George said the Greens too would support infrastructure spending, committing one per cent of GST to it and, like the Liberals, assuring the money would go to local government. He also championed youth employment with the Greens establishing a Community and Environment Service Corps. Asked for their vision of the CBC, George, Derkaz and Gingras each championed restoration of funding to the national broadcaster, and establishing a management board that’s at arm’s length from government. Arnold, however, said the CBC needs to be more self-sustaining and “accountable to their viewers and their advertisers.” The last question of the evening had the candidates discussing the Tories’ anti-terror legislation, Bill C-51. Gingras said the bill infringes on Canadian’s rights and freedoms and that it needs to be repealed. “We already have the laws necessary to protect us,” said Gingras. “It’s an illusion, a false choice, that we need to take away our rights and freedoms in order to protect us.” Arnold said the bill would enable law enforcement agencies to share information, noting judicial approval would still be required to conduct surveillance. “The fear-mongering that’s going on over Bill C-51 is simply not true,” said Arnold. George said he read the act, and “by the time I got to the criminal code amendments that are going to allow five-day’s detention without charge, secret trials never to be made public, with anonymous witnesses, I knew this wasn’t Canada.” Derkaz said the bill goes way too far, and that a Liberal government would amend it so as to balance national security with civil liberties.

Metal-on-metal returns to Armstrong’s IPE Grounds Sunday. The Armstrong Demolition Derby, which made a triumphant comeback in 2013 after a more-than-adecade absence, begins at 11:30 a.m. Gates open at 10 a.m. (general admission seating). An overflow crowd has jammed every seat of all the IPE grandstands the past two years to catch glimpses of old-style cars and trucks plowing into each other. Mini-vans were added for 2014 and return this

year, along with the cars, trucks and the alwayspopular powder puff division. Drivers from the region and from around B.C. will be competing for $9,000 in prize money, along with trophies. The event is expected to run throughout the afternoon. Food vendors will be on-site. Tickets will be available at the gate (cash only, no debit) and are $15 for adults, $10 for students and seniors. Kids under 10 get in free (maximum two per adult).

Sign not with the times in Lumby An electronic billboard won’t be spreading the word in downtown Lumby. Village council voted Monday not to provide $10,000 to the Lumby Chamber of Commerce to purchase a digital message sign. “Ten thousand isn’t in the budget for us and it required almost immediate action,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. “A sign like that would have required variances so the timing was not good.” There was also debate about the esthetics of a three-foot-by-four-foot, two-sided sign.

“There was a concern about having a blinking light in Lumby,” said Acton, adding that the sign could be considered in the future as part of the village’s strategic planning. The total cost for a sign is $17,770, and the chamber had received a $5,000 grant from Kevin Acton Destination B.C. It was proposed for the entrance to the Salmon Trail at the visitor information area. The chamber was promoting the sign as

New president returns to IHA Morning Star Staff

The Interior Health Authority’s new president and chief executive officer is no stranger to the organization. Chris Mazurkewich, who takes on his new duties Oct. 26, was IHA’s chief operating officer from 2002 to 2009. “With a wealth of Canadian health system experience, a broad skill set, and in-depth knowledge of our health authority, Mr. Mazurkewich is an excellent individual to lead Mazurkewich our organization as we build on the quality improvements we have made over the years and establish new successes into the future,” said Erwin Malzer, IHA chairperson. Mazurkewich spent the last four years at Alberta Health Services, most recently as executive vicepresident and chief operating officer. Earlier this summer, IHA president Robert Halpenny announced his intention to resign to pursue other opportunities. His last day will be Oct. 23. “Mr. Mazurkewich is joining a health authority with more than 20,000 professional and engaged staff and physicians committed to high-quality care for their patients, clients, and residents – a testament to the work of Dr. Halpenny,” said Malzer.

a way of providing information to the public when the visitor centre is closed. “We feel this 24-hour digital message sign will fill the communication gap within our community,” said Bill Maltman, chamber president, in a letter. “The digital sign would be an irreplaceable tool to transfer information quickly and efficiently for emergency communications within the village to community members and visitors such as wildfire updates, road closures and gas leaks and flooding. In addition, it would provide important community event information and visitor servicing tools to help increase the length of time visitors explore the community.”

Paddlers clean up Shuswap Morning Star Staff

The Shuswap River is a little more pristine. Seventeen people took part in the third annual Middle Shuswap River Clean-up and Paddle Day between Cherryville and the Wilsey dam. “It can be easy to take our lakes and rivers for granted when we turn on the taps or switch on a light,” said Charles Ruechel, of Elements Adventure Company and event organizer. “Taking part in a clean-up initiative using a non-motorized vessel, such as a canoe, can bring you back in touch with how special it is to have these clean and quiet waters in our backyard.” During the event, seven extra-large garbage bags were collected as were seven punctured inflatable rafts, one lawnchair and four beer cans

(two were unopened). Anna Page, from the Regional District of the North Okanagan, supported the clean-up and handled the disposal of the waste collected.

The program has not been hosted in the Okanagan since 1999 and comes in support of the development of the Okanagan Wetland Strategy. The rare opportunity to restore wetlands in the Okanagan also gave participants a chance to sharpen their skills.

Panthers take care of Sonics Morning Star Staff

The score was one-sided, the ferocity was not. The Vernon Panthers beat their crosstown rivals Seaton Sonics – playing their first Interior Junior Varsity Football League game in nearly a decade – 40-0 in the league regular-season opener for both teams Tuesday at Greater Vernon Athletics Park. It was VSS’ third game, counting two exhibition contests. For the Sonics, with a roster featuring 80 per cent of players who had never played football before – it was their first. “The final score does not reflect the intense battle on the field,” said Panthers head coach Ed Huber. “It was Seaton’s first football game in I don’t know how many years, and they executed well, but they could not match the experience of the junior Panthers playing in their third game of the year.” Seaton fumbled the ball on their first drive giving VSS a short field and leading to an opening minute TD. VSS didn’t look back, taking a 26-0 lead into halftime. Panthers rookie QB Thomas Hyett went 7-12 passing for 125 yards and two TDs, hooking up with Dylan Huber on a 10-yard toss and Grade 8 phenom Zach Smith on a

42-yard catch and run0. Fullback Bradley Hladik ran five times for 120 yards and one major while tailback Charles Lemay scored twice, running eight times for 93 yards. Riley MacGillivray scored on a nifty 10-yard run. Huber converted four of five attempts. Tyler Deboer led the VSS defence with 4.5 tackles, Lemay had four, Tristen Baker and Garrret Black Thomas each added three. “This was a team effort with 12 players getting tackles and eight different players running or receiving the ball,” said Huber. Landon Colvin led the ROGER KNOX/MORNING STAR Sonics on both sides of ball. As quarterback, Colvin Vernon Panthers fullback Bradley Hladik (86) gets brought down by Seaton Sonics defender Thomas Mackiewich rushed for 135 yards behind during Interior Junior Varsity Football League action Tuesday. Zach Boring, left, follows the play. the solid blocking of center Taylor Pelletier and guards Thomas Mackiewich helped in the field solid on the Sonics’ D. Brennan Kennedy and Shai Baker. Colvin position battle with several great punts, one “I am very proud of the way our players added 15 tackles on defence. of which was for 43 yards. He also made competed today,” said coach Ron Kirschner. Fullback Miles Forest chipped in another eight tackles. “Considering that this was the first foot56 yards rushing, made some critical blocks Nolan Cummings, Jaden Stone, Zack ball game ever for 80 per cent of our guys, and had nine tackles defensively. Boring and Morgan Laverdure were also they put up one hell of a fight.”

Where you

SLEEP

The passion on the ice is palpable, but after the final buzzer, the tension breaks as jokes are made while players shake hands. The 19th annual Vernon Senior Oldtimers Hockey Harvest Jamboree brings together players ages 55 and over from all across North America. Their love of the game brings them together, but the friendships they make keep them coming back. “I’ve met guys from so many other places,” says Marc Dibblee, a goalie from Salmon Arm. A player that Dibblee looks forward to seeing every year is 82-year-old Bill Well of Calgary. “I’ve known him since I was five and we get to catch up,” he said. One of the draws to the tournament is that it’s filled by individual players and teams are made according to age, ability and position. “The games are fun and the winning and losing means nothing,” says Dibblee.

His friend Gord Mackintosh, also of Salmon Arm, chuckles as he comments that the winning or losing doesn’t matter when it’s over, hinting that the score matters in the heat of the game. The competitive spark that the Vernon Essos, win the 1969-70 B.C. Junior Hockey League championship keeps Mackintosh battling for the puck 45 years later. Said Roger Benson of Anchorage, who has been making the trip to Vernon for 12 years: “I come for the friendship and the exercise.” Wayne Foggo of Chilliwack is proud of the fact that he still plays hockey with his buddies, including his 86-year-old teammate. “We all feel really lucky to be able to still play, it’s a privilege,” said Foggo. Vernon player Harvey Robatzek, 75, played junior hockey in Saskatchewan, took a break from hockey for awhile due to work, then took it up again and has played for the last 32 years. “I play up to 100 games a year — it keeps me healthy.”

Boucherie Bears of West Kelowna stopped the Maroons 2-1 (18-25, 26-24, 15-13 in the semifinals Saturday. “We won the first game quite easily 25-18, but noticed they were starting to play better,” said Fulton head coach Richard Bedard. “We should have won the second game but let it slip through our fingers 26-24. They have two Team B.C. power hitters that just became unstoppable and we could not put the ball down on their side. They blocked and played well.” Fulton dispatched Walnut Grove Gators of Langley 25-15, 25-13 in the quarterfinals. In pool play, the Maroons defeated Surrey Christian 25-16, 27-29, 15-4, swept defending AAA champion Earl Marriott Mariners of White Rock 25-20, 25-20 and grounded Langley Fundamental 19-25, 25-14, 15-5.

Vipers look at Cakebread Morning Star Staff

Not quite done tweaking his roster, Vernon Vipers head coach/GM Mark Ferner has a new forward in town. Arizona product Christian Cakebread skated this week with the Vipers, who entertain the Nanaimo Clippers tonight and the Prince George Spruce Kings Saturday to start a four-game B.C. Hockey League homestand. “We’re taking a look at him,” said Ferner, of the 18-year-old Cakebread. “I saw him play for the Arizona Bobcats when he was 14, the same team Auston Matthews played for. He’s a big body who can skate and has a strong skillset. He’s pretty smart.” Matthews is the projected No. 1 overall choice in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. Cakebread, a 6-foot, 190-pound right winger, spent the last two years with Fargo Force of the United States Hockey League (USHL), collecting 11 goals and eight assists. He didn’t play in any of Fargo’s first three games this season. If the Vipers (4-5-0-1) do sign Cakebread, they would have to release one player off their roster. Second-year forward Jagger Williamson will be in the press box tonight nursing a hip flexor. Rookie Jimmy Lambert takes his place on the second line with Colton McCarthy and Riley Brandt. McCarthy’s unit will spend most of tonight bothering the league’s hottest line of Sheldon Rempal, Devin Brosseau and Matthew Hoover. Rempal, a 20-year-old Calgary product headed to the Clarkson Golden Knights next year, leads the BCHL with 7-11-18.

Hoover, a 19-year-old Brantford, Ont. native was named the Player of the Week after ringing up seven points. He has 7-9-16 and a schollie to Canisius College Griffins in New York. Brosseau, who has 2-13-15, is a 20-year-old from Saint Lambert, Que. who also has a scholarship to Clarkson. The trio has 18 of the 27 Clipper goals. Nanaimo (6-3) has won three straight. Andrew Shortridge starts in goal tonight for the Snakes, while Brendan Barry is expected to make his Viper debut Saturday against the 1-6-0-1 Kings. Prince George just welcomed back 19-year-old Florida d-man Matt Stief from a short stint in the USHL. Last season in his first BCHL campaign with the Spruce Kings, Stief appeared in 58 games and pocketed three goals and 30 assists. In the off-season, the 5-foot-9, 170-pounder was drafted 185th overall by the Waterloo Black Hawks of the USHL. “We’re fortunate to have a player with Matt’s ability and character rejoining our team. He’s excited to be back and I know how he will bolster our defensive group,” said King GM Mike Hawes. Meanwhile, the Interior Conference-leading Penticton Panthers improved to 8-1 by grounding the last-place Trail Smoke Eaters 5-3 before 2,000 fans Wednesday night at the South Okanagan Events Centre. Former Penn State sniper Scott Conway bagged two goals for the Vees, while projected NHL draft first-round pick Tyson Jost, Jason Lavalee and Owen Sillinger (empty-netter) added singles. Sillinger also committed to the Arizona State Sun Devils for the 2017-18 season. Ryan Forbes and Nick Jermain, on a powerplay with 43 seconds left, gave the Merritt Centennials a 2-1 win over the Salmon Arm Silverbacks before 838 fans at the Shaw Centre. Vernon product Colton Thibault scored for Salmon Arm (5-2-2).

He plays a very that will be exciting to watch. I am looking forward to working strong game along the wall and competes very well in one on one battles. He likes to finish his checks and has a good scoring with the staff and the players to have a great tournament.” B.C. meets Alberta in their Oct. 28 opener and then take on touch.

The centre will be a home away from home for British Columbians needing to travel to Vancouver under emergency circumstances for medical treatment due to burn and major trauma injuries; patients in hospital discharge transition; or returning for follow up treatment. The centre will also continue to offer its current burn and safety awareness education and survivor programs and resources. The street-level retail component will help sustain the ongoing operation of the centre. Each year, almost 700 children and adults from across the province are admitted to Vancouver General Hospital and B.C. Children’s Hospitals suffering serious trauma. A critical shortfall in provincial accommodation means a patient’s health may be compromised when they have to return home sooner than medically advised or live in accommodations not suited to recovery from a burn or trauma injury.

Lake Country candidates blast each other ALISTAIR WATERS Black Press

In the end, it was at the end that the sparks finally flew. Two of the three candidates seeking election in KelownaLake Country left it to their wrap-up remarks Monday during an allcandidates meeting to take direct shots at each other. Liberal Stephen Fuhr started it when, in appealing for support, he told the audience there is no way the NDP will form the next federal government and locally, no way NDP candidate Norah Bowman would attract moderate Conservatives â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who he called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Conservative swing voteâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who are fed up with their partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leader Stephen Harper. The remarks brought loud boos from Bowmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supporters in the crowd of about 100 people at the Kelowna Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Society Centre. Not to be outdone, Bowman, when she was given her turn at the microphone, shot back, reminding the audience the NDP had 103 seats in the last Parliament compared to the Liberals 34. And she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop there, blasting Liberal leader Justin Trudeau as someone who has not stood up to Harper in the past. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How can he stand up to someone like (Russian leader Vladimir) Putin if he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand up to Harper?,â&#x20AC;? said Bowman to cheers from her supporters. Meanwhile, the man Fuhr and Bowman are trying to unseat, Conservative incumbent Ron Cannan, avoided the fray, sticking to listing achievements for the riding since he was first elected MP in 2006. The exchange between Fuhr and Bowman capped a 90-minute question and answer session that allowed the three can-

didates to tell the audience what their respective parties would do on a wide range issues including climate change, funding science, help for Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aboriginal people, poverty and even the CBC. All three claimed to love the CBC and their parties would support it. The Conservative government has been criticized in the past for budget cuts to the CBC. Both Bowman and Cannan stressed their partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans to balance the budget, while Fuhr defended his partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to run a deficit

budget for three more years to fund tax cuts for the middle class that he said, will help in a number of ways. Bowman said the NDP will raise much of the money it needs for promised programs, such as more daycare spaces at a maximum of $15 per day by increasing taxes on big corporations to 17 per cent from 15 per cent and working with the provinces. Cannan touted his partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans to fund infrastructure across Canada, calling the program the biggest

investment in infrastructure this country has ever seen. In doing so, he cited a long list of local projects that have received federal money. He said that was part of the reason he ran for MP in the first place, to make sure this community received as many federal dollars for programs as possible. Fuhr, a retired Canadian Air Force fighter pilot, said growth and jobs are the main issues in this election. He said the Liberals will fund programs aimed at increasing jobs so families have options when it comes to issue like daycare. Both he and Bowman, a professor at Okanagan College, repeatedly said that under the federal Conservative government, Canada has lost 400,000 jobs since 2006.

New inspector moves into Armstrong ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

The City of Armstrong will soon have a new building inspection service. The city and Lethbridge-based Outwest Building Inspection Consultants have agreed on a five-year contract starting in January 2016. Outwest Building lnspection is an accredited company with more than 45 years of experience in all aspects of building inspection services. “Richard Nicolas and Riley Barnfather are certified inspectors who will be providing inspection services to the city,” said Coun. Shirley Fowler. “They will be working with city staff to start the transition process, and will host an information session at city hall for local builders and developers and residents to meet them.” City staff is in the process of drafting a new building inspection regulatory bylaw for council to review and adopt prior to the year’s end. Building stats steady There were two residential and three commercial building permits issued in Armstrong in August totalling $767,219. That’s down from five residential units totalling just under $1.2 million from the same month in 2014. Through the first eight months of 2015, the city issued 49 building permits worth $6.3 million, compared to 24 permits worth $3.2 million

Premier Christy Clark has underscored the importance of stability in the CanadaUnited States softwood lumber trade to B.C. The 2006 softwood lumber agreement between Canada and the U.S. expires Oct. 12. Over the past two years B.C. has been working with the federal government seeking an extension or renewal of the softwood lumber agreement. So far, the U.S. has not been willing to discuss renewing or extending the agreement. “B.C.’s forest industry is too important to take for granted,” said Clark. “For lumber producers, and the communities throughout the province that depend on them, we need to avoid an unnecessary trade dispute with our most significant market.”

Meet the man down by the Henry Moore Soon to arrive in Vernon, Murray McLauchlan talks about his storied career as one of Canada’s songwriting legends Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

He’s sung about skating the square down by the Henry Moore, of the veteran who left his leg in France, and of the dusty old farmer out working the field. Listening to Murray McLauchlan’s songbook today is not only a trip through this country’s history, but it speaks to the Canadian identity at a time when a lot of us are confused of what that actually means. With the federal election on the horizon, it’s fitting that McLauchlan, who is in the same lexicon as Gordon Lightfoot, Stompin’ Tom Connors, and Buffy Saint-Marie, is returning to the stage. About to embark on his first solo tour in quite some time, McLauchlan, 67, plans to mark his ballot early before he hits the road next week for the tour that takes him to smaller, intimate theatre venues across the county. He arrives at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre three days after the election, Oct. 22, and is looking forward to having that face-to-face contact with his fellow Canadians again. “I love playing in theatres. The cheap practical reason is because I have the ability to control the theatrics – the lights, sound, piano and the environment where I can do my absolute best for people who honour you by coming to the show,” he said. “A festival is a scramble - you’re not sure what you’re going to get. Principally, why I love the theatre is it’s a more intimate connection. You want people to come in and get a slightly different feeling.” McLauchlan hasn’t toured since his last album, 2011’s Human Writes, although he’s kept busy recording and performing with the band Lunch at Allen’s, which he formed in 2004 with fellow musicians Cindy Church, Marc Jordan and Ian Thomas. He has also been writing a musical, which is currently under development. “It’s been a while since I played at all, except for Lunch at Allen’s,” said McLauchlan. “I thought I better go out to play some music or what else am I going to do? I love playing guitar and making music but getting places to do that was becoming a challenge.” Born in Scotland, McLauchlan immigrated to Canada with his family when he was just a child, and says he has embraced the cultural fabric that wraps this land, so present in his songs. “I was a small child when we immigrated. I was five years old. As as soon as I was old enough to do so, I became a Canadian citizen. It was a slam dunk for a British subject then to become a citizen. “Like most Canadians, except our aboriginals, we all came from somewhere else, and I hope it continues. My best friend and best man at my wedding, his family came from Pakistan. He grew up playing hockey, eating hamburgers and going to movies, same as myself.” Always akin to music and its message, McLauchlan started playing on small café stages in Toronto 50 years ago.

Kevin Kelly/True norTh records

Canadian legend Murray McLauchlan is about to perform a retrospective of his 50-year career in concert at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Thursday, Oct. 22. “I cut my teeth at the Village Corner Club on (Toronto’s) Avenue Road. When I started playing as a career, I was doing open sing nights at the Riverboat in Yorkville and at the Mariposa (Folk Festival).” Those days are encapsulated on McLauchlan’s famed song Down by the Henry Moore, which references the famed sculpture, The Archer, by British sculptor Moore located in Nathan Phillips Square in front of Toronto’s City Hall. Although the sculpture still exists, Toronto is a very different place than when McLauchlan wrote the song. “They’ve swept the city clean and put up a condo,” he said. “I’ve seen three different areas that were once colonized by artists that have been taken over by developers - the Gerrard Village and Yorkville got wrecked, and now the King Street east area is being developed. “Artists are a huge force for social change but are never recognized by governments,” he added. One thing that has lasted is the place where McLauchlan made his first major appearance in 1966 – the Mariposa Folk Festival. Founded in 1960 in the Ontario city of Orillia, Mariposa was passed from community to community before it settled on Toronto Island in the ‘70s and later at Ontario Place in the ‘90s. It returned to its Orillia origins in 2000 and celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2010. McLauchlan was invited to headline the event, which also paid tribute to one of Orillia’s

most famed sons. “The nicest Mariposa moment I had was when I was headlining at the festival and Gordon Lightfoot showed up. He’s a lovely guy and he’s had his brush with death and is a changed man. When I finished my show, there was supposed to be a group to go up and do a tribute to Gordon, so Gordon walks up to me and asks, ‘do you think it will all right if I go up and play a tune?’ ...He hadn’t performed since his aneurism, and there was maybe 6,000 to 7,000 in the audience, and pardon the language, but they went f ’n nuts when he went up there.” Selecting the songs for his current tour from such a well of material for a two-hour show had has its challenges. McLauchlan plans to perform songs people are familiar with – Whispering Rain, Farmer’s Song, Down by the Henry Moore, On the Boulevard, and will also play his material from Human Writes. “It’s an album that people in Canada don’t know much about as we don’t have the same Americana radio format here,” said McLauchlan. “It was in the top 100 folk roots music charts in the U.S., was played all over Europe and on the ABC in Australia. “Many folk artists in the Americana genre do what I do and play live and that’s how you keep your connection. Interestingly enough, I am still making music and people want to see and hear it.” Even bands such as Georgia’s Widespread Panic – a modern-day cross between the Grateful Dead and The Allman Brothers - have added McLauchlan’s song Honky Red to their repertoire. “The bass player in the band got the song from his father, a producer of Warren Zevon’s first tour,” said McLauchlan, adding he traded Honky Red to The Werewolves of London singer for Zevon’s song Carmelita when he was playing piano in the Everly Brothers. There’s a line in Honky Red that references the Second World War: “An’ I left my leg in France All that remains is a ghostly pain When the mornings get too damp.” Although Zevon would never record that version, the line eventually would be changed to “left my leg in ‘Nam,” while Widespread Panic changed it to “left my leg in Iraq.” “It’s a song that now references three wars,” said McLauchlan, adding he is tickled to death that anyone would sing his music. “Blackie and the Rodeo Kings also did a great version of Down by the Henry Moore. I performed it with Tom Wilson and the guys at Massey Hall and Winspear Centre in Edmonton.” Some of McLauchlan’s out-of-print catalogue on vinyl can now be heard as remastered digital releases put out by his label True North Records. “Geoff Kulawick (president of True North) asked me what I would like to do about re-releasing my records.... I’ve made a bunch of records, most of them are probably ground up and on a highway somewhere. They needed cooking and to be remastered,” said McLauchlan. “I gave them the safety master for Swinging on a Star to re-release, and now they have everything and it’s available on streaming and download.” Tickets for An Evening with Murray McLauchlan, Oct. 22 at 7:30 p.m., are $46.75 at the Ticket Seller box office, 250549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.

Artist sees his career ‘Klick’ Morning Star Staff

Fresh off a win at the Edmonton Global Country Star Search and playing a showcase at the Canadian Country Music Awards in Halifax, Kelownabased country artist Ben Kick is about to launch his new EP, Today, with two shows in the Okanagan. Klick and his band perform at Okanagan College’s Kelowna campus this Saturday and at the Coldstream Coffee House in Vernon Oct. 17. Klick’s new album was engineered and produced by Clay Krasner and RyLee Madison of 7-17 Music in Nashville, Tenn., and was released on iTunes Sept. 15. It has been climbing the country album download charts since. “The process in Nashville was incredible. There is such a thing as southern hospitality, and having the top musicians in the town who have been on Keith Urban, Luke Bryan, Sam Hunt, and Big & Rich albums (just to name a few) play on my record was unreal,” said Klick. A guitarist as much as he is a vocalist and songwriter, Klick says he was especially excited to sit in

The ride isn’t over for the young artist yet. Klick has also been nominated for seven B.C. Country Music Association awards, which

will be handed out Oct. 25 in Coquitlam. But first he visits Vernon as the feature artist of the Coldstream Coffee House at the Powerhouse Theatre. The open mic portion of the show will precede Klick’s feature performance. Admission is $5 with a concession by donation. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the show starts at 7 p.m. Klick will have autographed copies of Today available for purchase at the event.

Richards shows his heart Keith richards: Cross-Eyed Heart

man who needs no introduction, Keith Richards lets listeners and longtime fans behind his image to reveal his deepest and strongest work in years on his third solo album, Cross-Eyed Heart. The album features the dark and joyous sheen that has been missing from Rolling Stones’ recordings since Tattoo You. Besides being a durable, lovable rogue whose name and image have

been held up like a crucifix against the establishment for decades, Richards is a traditionalist at heart. Witness his reading of Goodnight Irene

– it captures a plaintive sound that Richards hasn’t visited since his solo Stones’ vocal on You Got the Silver. Cross-Eyed Heart is a roots album. As a guitar player, Richards hasn’t suffered the fate of unfashionable excess or pseudo virtuosity that some of his peers have fallen victim to. It’s because Richards never surrendered to flash or self indulgence (musical, that is!), instead opting to milk the essence of early rock and roll and its blues and folk music

predecessors. The mood of the album is the result of a relaxed working environment laid out by drummer/producer Steve Jordan, co-guitarist Waddy Wachtel, and keyboardist Ivan Neville. The result is an album more entertaining and warm than any recent Stones’ album. Illusion, a duet cowritten with Norah Jones, has the deep mood of mid-period Stones’ gems like Heaven. It gives an indication that “Keef ’s” long suspected sensitive side is stronger than ever. Amnesia, a primer in tasteful guitar rhythms, also bears this out. The album’s first single, Trouble, is a cool and fetching song that bears the heartfelt stamp of Richards’ rough soul but is less compelling than the rest of this long player record. Likewise, with the lukewarm reggae cover Love Overdue, a song best edited out of the track listing. It’s not bad; it’s just that it doesn’t hold up to the rest of the material. Cross-Eyed Heart presents Richards as a gracefully aged (if rough hewn) musician who uses songs as springboards for moods and easy going inspiration.

Film escalates the war on drugs

sicario

young, by-the-books FBI agent, Macer (Emily Blunt), has kicked in enough drug dealers’ doors to get the attention of a Justice Department task force leader named Graver (Josh Brolin). His team pushes Macer and the boundaries of grey Taylor and Howe justice to their limit, going as far as using a sicario (hitman), Alejandro (Benicio Del Toro), to achieve their goals, bringing down cartel kingpins on both sides of the border. We say, “Sicario is gritty, ugly and real.” TAYLOR: Well, real if you look at the worst possible cases. Sicario is an “into the fire” kind of morality tale. Young, skinny Blunt, looks like a little bird that landed on the window sill of the Cat Lady’s house. By the end, she’s been nearly dismantled,

Reel Reviews

LionsgatE

Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro work a lead with a mobile team of soldiers in Sicario. bruised and defeated, yet still capable of some unknown future. The tale, for the most part, takes place in Juarez, near the Mexican border, where two rival cartels are at war. Against this gritty, ugly world of public fear, poverty and addiction, police corruption soars, the streets are unsafe, the line between good and bad blurs. Our idealistic hero is at war with her moral certitude. HOWE: I thought this was one of Blunt’s better performances. At the beginning, she

seems a little confused as to what is going on around her, who she can and can’t trust. I was a little like that during the first half of the movie. Then things started to click into place. The storyline is strong, as well as the performances from all the lead roles. My only concern was that it seemed to take ages to really get going. TAYLOR: I felt things dragged on, specifically the shots. I didn’t need to stare at that sunset for over a minute. I understood that they were

going to use their night vision goggles when they put them on. I appreciated Macer’s frustration and exhaustion without watching her not sleep. I love a long shot and a long movie, when it’s warranted. A little more frugal editing, perhaps a less stubborn flamboyance would have saved me from wishing they would pick up the pace. However, this is still an entertaining film and the story contains real-world issues worthy of your examination. Performances are tight, especially by Benicio Del Toro. Benny the Bull always brings the goods. HOWE: I agree with you that I don’t need to sit and stare at the same scene for over a minute, yet some of the shots need to be appreciated rather than just a flyby glance. They could easily have knocked 10-to-15 minutes off and it wouldn’t have harmed the movie in any way. It has been a while since we have had a good thriller and I found Sicario didn’t disappoint. – Howe gives Sicario 3 football matches out of 5. – Taylor gives it 3.5 football games out of 5.

Climate change documentary screens at Towne Morning Star Staff

Fans of No Logo author, social activist, and Canadian journalist Naomi Klein have the opportunity to see a documentary based on her best-selling book about climate change. Directed by Avi Lewis, a filmmaker, TV host and son to former UN ambassador Stephen Lewis, This Changes Everything opens at the Vernon Towne Cinema today. The film follows Klein’s fourth book, This Changes Everything:

Naomi Klein

Capitalism vs. the Climate, where she writes about how the disregard for the planet has endangered both it and its inhabitants, and how resisting this abuse and opposing the forces that propagate it can have a profound revolutionary

impact upon the makeup of society. With Klein serving as narrator and guide, the film examines several individual cases worldwide. They include ranchers in Montana dealing with floods and an oil spill, grandmothers in Greece protesting the arrival of a Canadian gold processing complex, fishermen in India rejecting a coal-fired power plant, and migrant workers in Fort McMurray, Alta. drowning their sorrows.

Spiller honoured by VSS Outdoor classroom is a tribute to beloved teacher Rick Spiller KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff

There is a Facebook page dedicated to Rick Spiller with the title, “Mr. Spiller, thanks for sharing your passion for science.” And anyone lucky enough to sit in his classroom at Vernon secondary school — or Seaton or Charles Bloom before that — can attest to his love of science and the joy he took in teaching. Spiller was just 57 when he lost his battle with cancer last year and staff at VSS were looking for a way of honouring the beloved teacher. What they came up with is something he would have loved: The Rick Spiller Outdoor Classroom. Next to the basketball court, the outdoor classroom is made up of several rows of concrete benches on the grass. “It’s part of our Go Green Project, which is made up of four sections: the outdoor classroom, a greenhouse, the school garden and a composter,” said Sandi Slizak, culinary arts teacher. “Rick was quite a gardener and was on board with our project — he loved life-long learning for students so this ties in nicely with that.” Slizak said it was social studies teacher Teresa Bigsby who spearheaded the idea of using the outdoor classroom as a tribute to Spiller. Science department head Mike Cornell said Spiller had a huge impact on everyone at the school, from students to staff. “He was very enthusiastic and just a real character and he had a real passion for teaching,” said Cornell. Spiller’s wife, Linda, said her husband would have been touched by the outpouring of support from his colleagues and his former students. “Malcolm (Reid, VSS principal) men-

STORK REPORT

KATHERINE MORTIMER/MORNING STAR

Linda Spiller (centre) visits the outdoor classroom dedicated to her late husband, Vernon secondary school science teacher Rick Spiller, along with principal Malcolm Reid (left), science department head Mike Cornell, social studies teacher Teresa Bigsby and culinary arts teacher Sandi Slizak. tioned that the staff wanted to do something in honour of Rick but I had no idea of the magnitude,” she said.“I think he would have been both honoured and shocked — he was passionate about teaching, but he was a very humble man. There are a lot of amazing teachers and I think this reflects the passion of all teachers.” A father of two, Spiller had been a teacher in the district since 1984, leaving in 2004 when he and Linda took a sabbatical and lived in Ecuador for three years.

Next to the outdoor classroom is a large boulder with a plaque that reads, “This classroom is dedicated to the spirit of Rick Spiller, who for many years taught science at Vernon secondary school. Mr. Spiller worked passionately every day to knock down the walls of his classroom and bring life and relevance to his curriculum and students’ learning. “The spirit of Mr. Spiller will live on every time this classroom is used for lifelong learning.”

It’s a homecoming for the class of ‘65 JIM LAUGHLIN Special to The Morning Star

Proving the old adage that if you give the people what they want, they’ll come out for it, more than 200 revelers invaded the Prestige Hotel in Vernon Sept. 19 to 20 to celebrate the 50th anniversary reunion of the Clarence Fulton Senior Secondary Class of 1965. Attendees enjoyed an evening of great food and much laughter as they renewed friendships with classmates, many of whom had not seen each other in more than 50 years. Honoured guests for the evening included three teachers from that era: John Baumbrough, Chuck Clarke and Elaine Towgood, who enjoyed reminiscing with their former students, as did the students with them. The reunion was a homecoming of sorts as many of the attendees had traveled some distance to get here, notably Bill Ingersoll from Belfast, Maine; Gerry Sloan from Santa Paula, Calif.; Brian Dedora from Toronto, both Mike LeDuke and Dave Morse from Kitchener and the winner of The Longest Drive Contest, Lynn Fulford Aubrey from Auckland, New Zealand. This year’s class had quite a few grads who have made a meaningful impression on the world. There was the usual array of lawyers and doctors, notably Vivian Merchant, who has a PhD in physics and is a world expert on the industrial application of lasers. A few served Queen and Country: Gary Gillette and John Kendall in the RCMP; Bob Hodgson in the Canadian Army; Bob Novitsky in the Canadian Navy; and Pete Smith in the RCAF. The sports world featured Irene Glowacki Snow, who was a national class bowler; Lynne Sawicki Fulton,who spent many years with The Ice Capades in the U.S. and who taught some NHL officials proper skating technique; and world championship dragon

Doreen (Tung) Wagner and Karen (Frick) Beck reminisce at the reunion. boat racer Mavis Pillar. Arts and entertainment starred Manfred Taron, a Broadway actor and singer; Shirley Kucherak Byman, a TV talk show hostess; Brian Dedora, a noted author and art expert; and the late Chris Malcolm, who carved out an exciting career on the stage, screen and British television. The travel bug bit many of the class, with quite a few who have visited more than 40 countries. The champions here must be Anita Tischer Paulton, who has visited 86 countries, and Bill Ingersoll with “too many to count.” Dave Wills is more than adventurous, having ridden his motorcycle from Vancouver Island to Cape Horn at the bottom of South America and back, to Newfoundland and back, and around Australia. And The Frequent Flyer Award goes to Herb Crowe, who spent many years piloting Boeing 747s for Singapore Airlines. After Saturday evening’s festivities wrapped up, the group reconvened for Sunday brunch at the Predator Ridge Resort for more fine dining and reconnecting. Many phone numbers and email addresses were exchanged as old friends re-established what will become enduring friendships. If two words could be used to describe

This is remarkable, considering the stresses and strains of everyday life and the time pressures we all face. All of this supports the notion that this group is more than “The Class of 1965” — they are “The Class of Every Year.” The organizing committee for the reunion was comprised of “The Usual Suspects”: Nick Alexis and Vi (Ewanchuk) Alexis, Patsy (Firman) Anderson, Sandi (Palmer) Boulianne, Nan (Harwood) Bristow, Lynn (Kendy) Farrer, Brenda (Brown) Fulbrook,

Warm fall days are a bonus for gardeners

ll the nice days in October, I think of them as bonuses. Most of the time, I still don’t manage to get everything done. This is a good time to divide perennials that have become too big and are invading their neighbour’s space. Some of them will be blooming less and like some of my grasses, they have a dead space in the centre of the plant. By doing this work now, you will have nicer plants come spring. Sometimes, the good weather carries on till November. This is the time to plant your spring bulbs and garlic. Bulbs love to have bone meal incorporated into the soil at planting time. I dig my holes, put bone meal, mix with soil in the bottom, cover with

a bit of compost, and plant. Deer love tulips but will leave daffodils alone and small bulbs like grape hyacinths and snowdrops. I have these on the front bank and they never touch them. Other plants they never ate in my garden are the irises, red valerian and California poppies. This is also a good time to plant shrubs and trees. The air temperature might get cooler but the soil keeps its warmth for a

while. Make sure you water them well until the ground freezes. I always wait for the killing frost to clean the garden but I was reading that October is a good month to prune back the plants that will be killed soon, like peonies. I like to keep them as long as I can as they turn to lovely shades of yellow, orange and red and remind me of the beautiful colours of leaves from the east. Some plants can be left until spring as they look nice in winter and will help to feed the little birds from the seed heads. I like to see the ornamental grasses with a dusting of snow. I will start to pick up the leaves in the garden. I like to use them as mulch after they have been shredded with

the lawnmower. Some maple leaves left whole will just mat down and could cause problems with some of the plants. You can also use leaves in your compost except walnut leaves. These should be discarded when the city picks up leaves in the fall. According to the Ministry of Agriculture website, “black walnut and butternut produce the largest quantity of juglone and can cause toxic reactions with a number of other plant species that grow in their vicinity. Other juglone-producing species are English walnut, pecan, shellbark/shagbark/bitternut hickory.” I have been composting and using the leaves from our horse chestnut trees without any trouble. The stems of these

leaves are so big, they do not break easy and I discard them when I can. By the time you have your garden done,

there is one more important thing to do: clean up all the tools and oil them. If left wet, some of them will

rust. The only thing will be to look at garden books and dream of spring. Have a good fall season.

Urban Smart is a funky runabout

Question of the Week

Portland, Ore - Mercedes-Benz chose a funky city to Inside showcase its urban city runabout, the all-new Smart With a wider cabin, the dash now looks like a more fortwo (for two people). conventional subcompact. The quirkiness of the Since Portland is already known for “keeping it weird” previous car was fun but this new model is much it was amazing to see just how much attention this more practical.

buyers will get the automatic equipped with a sport setting that also provides a more spirited drive. For those that want paddle shifters behind the steering wheel, the buyer needs to opt for the sport package that also upgrades the wheels from 15-inches to 16-inches. The wider platform makes the 2016 Smart much more stable at all speeds, in fact on the highway it was very smooth and could easily keep up with traffic. Verdict The Smart car has always been a lifestyle choice. Starting at $17,300 there are plenty of subcompact cars with seating for five and much more cargo capacity but this car isn’t about getting the most for the money but getting around with ease. The turning radius is amazing; the driver can make manouevres you would imagine only a cyclist could pull off. It’s really remarkable. Parking is a snap and the smallest spaces are there for the taking. The Smart is available with an optional moon roof, the convertible version, along with the electric model will come sometime in 2016.The rest of the trim packages include the middle Passion trim for $18,800 and the top Prime model for $20,900. To get a car with an automatic, the buyer needs to add $1,400 to each trim and the sport package is $800. This isn’t an inexpensive car but it is a much better Smart in every direction.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder IN COMPETITION, DESCRIBE YOUR HAND

ULCERATIVE COLITIS STRIKES PEOPLE IN THEIR 20S. HARD.

crohnsandcolitis.ca

John Terry, captain of the Chelsea soccer team in London and former captain of England, said, “You don’t have to be captain to have an opinion.” That reminds me of Mao Tse-tung’s ‘Little Red Book,’ which contains the recommendation that army leaders listen to the opinions of the enlisted men. Sometimes in the auction at a bridge table, one player knows where to go and immediately names the final contract. But in particular in competitive sequences, it pays to anticipate further enemy action. Look at today’s South hand. He opens one spade,

and his partner raises to two spades. What should South rebid after East (a) passes or (b) overcalls three clubs? If East stays out of the auction, South ought to make a three-heart gametry, expecting partner to bid game with his values in the majors. But South might shoot out four spades. When East enters the auction, though, it is time to call on partner’s opinion. Now South must show his heart suit, so that North can judge what to do if the opponents bid higher. Here, over three hearts by South, West will presumably raise to four clubs. Then North will continue with four spades, and probably East will bid five clubs as

an each-way bet -- maybe it will make, or it might be a cheap sacrifice. After South passes, North should go on to five spades because of his side’s double fit. East will double, and South will go down two, minus 300. This is cheaper than five clubs bid and made for plus 400.

The family moved to Langley, B.C. in 1947 where they built and operated the Cedar Grove Motel for several years. Bob met Doris, the love of his life, in Port Alberni, B.C. in 1951. Following their marriage in 1954 and the arrival of all three children, Bob and Doris moved their young family to the North Okanagan where Bob continued his career as a truck driver. They settled first in Armstrong and then Coldstream in 1971. Bob and Doris built three family homes over the years: the first in Milner, B.C., followed by one in Armstrong and finally in Coldstream. Bob’s love of gardening, camping, carpentry, landscape painting and truck driving has been passed on to his family. His sense of humour and appreciation of music eventually gained him the nickname “singer” at Noric House. We, Bob’s family, would like to thank the staff at both the Vernon Jubilee Hospital and Noric House for the kindness and care over the past year that was shown to both Bob and ourselves. Cremation preceded the Funeral Service which will be held at Bethel Funeral Chapel on Saturday, October 10th, 2015 at 2:00 P.M. with District Evangelist Tom Haag officiating. A Reception will follow in the Bethel Tea Room. As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donations in memory of Bob to the Alzheimer Society of B.C., #102 - 3402 - 27th Avenue, Vernon, B.C. V1T 1S1. Funeral arrangements have been made with BETHEL FUNERAL CHAPEL LTD., 5605-27th Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 8Z5 • 250-542-1187

Eric Windover Robinson

He was predeceased by his parents Winnifred and Thomas, brother Ray (Madge), wife Barbara (April 2015), and sister-in-law Jean Gill (June 2015). He leaves behind his daughters Kathy (Dennis) Cotter, Jean (Mike) Haug; grand daughters Shelly (Tyler) Cull, Janice (Ger) Larson, Corinne (Mike) Litchfield, and Karin Haug; Great grand children Karlee, Hailey, MacKenzie, and Tanner; niece Lynda (Brian) Jones and nephew Colin Robinson. He will be sadly missed by all. Born in Armstrong BC, Eric had a wonderful childhood growing up in Britannia Beach where his father worked for Britannia Mining and Smelting Co. After his formal schooling he attended UBC (1939-44) and received a Bachelor of Commerce Degree followed by a Forestry Degree. He started his career with the BC Forest Service in Victoria and soon after transferred to Kamloops where he met Barb Harris and they were married and settled in Prince George in 1947. Of all his accomplishments he would say that marrying Barb (Mom) was the most important thing he ever did! Eric spent 35 years with the BC Forest Service retiring in

1979 in Williams Lake where he was the District Forester. During his career he worked in Kamloops, Prince George, Nelson, the Forest Service Training School in Surrey, then to Victoria to be head of the Reforestation Division prior to his posting in Williams Lake. In 2010 they moved to Vernon to be closer to family and their summer home “Barberic Beach” on Okanagan Lake. He felt very fortunate to have made many lasting friendships with Forestry staff and neighbours over the years. Eric served as President of the Association of BC Forest Professionals (RPF #40) in 1962 and served on the council for many years. He played basketball and softball in his younger days and was an avid curler and golfer. In his later years he enjoyed watching these sports on TV. A private family internment of both Eric’s and Barb’s ashes will be held in the Spring. The family would like to thank the staffs of 3W at VJH, Gateby Pathways, and especially Hospice House for taking such wonderful care of our special Dad, Grampa, Uncle, and friend, as well as all of us. Those wishing to do so may make a memorial donation in Eric’s name to the North Okanagan Hospice Society, 3506 - 27 Avenue, Vernon, BC V1T 1S4. Cremation arrangements have been entrusted to: Bethel Funeral Chapel Ltd. 5605 - 27 Street, Vernon, BC V1T 8Z5 • 250-542-1187

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of Eric on October 1st at the age of 94 years. He spent his last five months in care at Vernon Jubilee Hospital, Gateby’s Pathway to Home, and his final month at Hospice House. During this time he was very impressed by the care he received from compassionate staff and volunteers.
