Participants in the lawn tractor races careen around a corner as they compete in the annual event at the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce Harvest Pumpkin Festival Saturday at the IPE Grounds.
Some may see free items along roadways as treasure waiting to be discovered, but a Vernon politician has declared it a health disaster. Coun. Brian Quiring told his colleagues Tuesday that couches and mattresses left at the end of driveways are fuelling a bedbug infestation. “I’m shocked at how big the problem is,” he said of the insects. “They spread like wildfire.” Quiring would like to see a crackdown on unwanted items residents have left along roads Brian Quiring in the hopes members of the public will pick them up. “It drives me crazy when I see piles of junk at the end of driveways because they don’t want to go to the dump,” he said. “It’s getting worse than it used to be. It’s everywhere.” City staff report that city bylaws to clean up items on right-of-way or in private yards can be enforced if complaints are received.
Polls reveal varying riding results RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
New polls continue to show a tight race for North OkanaganShuswap, but they differ on who is gaining ground. A Liberal survey has the Conservatives in the lead, with the Liberals nipping at the heels of the NDP for second, while a Leadnow poll has the NDP in top spot, followed by the Conservatives and Liberals. The Liberal-commissioned poll was conducted by Mainstreet Technologies and it asked 567 people, “If an election were held today, which candidate would you vote for?” The results were 38 per cent Conservative, 22 per cent NDP, 20 per cent Liberal, four per cent Green and 16 per cent undecided. The Leadnow poll was conducted by Environics Research and it asked 755 people, “If the federal election were held tomorrow,

which one of the following parties would you vote for here in North Okanagan-Shuswap? It shows, among decided voters, 37 per cent NDP, 33 per cent Conservatives, 22 per cent Liberals, eight per cent Greens. Five per cent of those polled were undecided. Cindy Derkaz, Liberal candidate, believes her party’s poll reflects what is happening locally. “Clearly, NDP support in our riding is fading fast, just as it is fading nationally,” she said. “The national polls make it

clear that Justin Trudeau is the only leader, and the Liberals are the only party, who can replace Stephen Harper. We’ll continue to run as hard as we can leading up to Oct. 19.” However, Jacqui Gingras, with the NDP, has a different interpretation of the political scene. “When we go to doorsteps, we hear support is growing and polls are an attempt to predict outcomes but they are not evidence of outcomes,” she said. “Regardless of the polls, we’ll be
on doorsteps and phones until the election because there are many undecided voters out there.” Conservative Mel Arnold says he’s more interested in what he is hearing from residents than what opinion surveys show. “The only poll that matters is Oct. 19 and until then, our team will continue to spread the Conservative message,” he said. “Polls have been so unpredictable over the years and we will not change our strategy because of polls.” Green Chris George could not be reached for comment. A recent Oraclepoll Research survey commissioned by a group of local citizens showed 41 per cent of decided voters support for the NDP, 38 per cent for the Conservatives, 12 per cent for the Liberals and nine per cent for the Greens. Fifteen per cent were undecided. The Mainstreet Technologies
poll was conducted Oct. 10 in the North Okanagan-Shuswap. A total of 567 people 18 years and over were interviewed and the margin of error is plus or minus 4.1 per cent, 19 out of 20 times. The survey was conducted using computer-assisted techniques of phone interviewing and random number selection.

Church sells waterfront land to region JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
A piece of waterfront paradise, which has spread smiles for youth and families for more than 80 years, is in the public hands. The Regional District of North Okanagan has purchased the Camp Hurlburt property on Okanagan Lake for public parkland. The approximately 2.5 acre property was purchased for $2.3 million from Trinity United Church. The church ran the camp for more than 80 years but announced last year that it was selling the property. The purchase will give the public access to more than 1,000 feet of waterfront recreation area. With lakefront property in limited and high demand, the price was right said Juliette Cunningham, Greater Vernon Advisory Committee chairperson. “It (appraisal) was considerably higher so I think we negotiated a good price for the public.” She is hopeful the property will be open to the public next year, following a park planning process. “I would like to see some public consultation,” said Cunningham, who is expected to bring the subject up at the November GVAC meeting.
“I think we negotiated a good price for the public.” — Juliette Cunningham Meanwhile, the church is pleased to see that the property will continue to spread smiles in the community. “Since 1931, thousands of young people and families have been blessed by the opportunities available at this beautiful place,” said Trinity Rev. Jeff Seaton. “The sale of this property to the regional district allows Trinity to maintain that legacy through community-based programs for children, youth and families, while ensuring the entire community can benefit from direct access to this special location.” The money to purchase the property comes from a reserve fund which was set up several years ago specifically for land purchases such as this. “It’s always prudent to acquire the land,” said Cunningham. “They’re not making anymore lakeshore.”

The old Camp Hurlburt property, featuring more than 1,000 feet of waterfront, is now public land.
Differences of opinion arise over arena process support but it is subject to the final dollar amount required to be put up by the property taxpayers.” It’s not known when a referendum will be held in Greater Vernon as the Regional District of North Okanagan is waiting for the provincial government to sign off on the legislative requirements for a vote.

Vernon officials back plans for a new ice sheet but it’s not a ringing endorsement. Council voted 4-2 Tuesday to support twinning of Kal Tire Place (Coun. Brian Quiring declared a conflict because his architectural firm is involved in the project). “I’ve always been a sports advocate and amenities bring families to the community and there’s an overall benefit for the community,” said Mayor Akbal Mund. Mund also insists there’s a need to twin Kal Tire Place because Civic Arena has outlived its use as an ice sheet. Besides Mund, Councillors Catherine Lord, Juliette Cunningham and Dalvir Nahal voted for twinning of the multi-use facility. However, Nahal admits she raised her hand in favour more to get the process moving towards a borrowing referendum. “It’s not about twinning of the facility. It’s about what the public wants,” she said. “I won’t be a huge champion but if this is

The citizens of Vernon should take a position,” said Anderson. “I’ll endorse what the public
endorses.” Spiers says the twinning of Kal Tire Place should go to referendum. “When I get the full details of the estimated cost of this project and how much money will be borrowed, then I will be in a position to decide on how I will vote,” he said. “This is a great project that I personally

Another Coldstream Ranch cow has been found shot. The dead cow was located on the Aberdeen Forest Service Road Saturday. Police said the cow appeared to have been shot and it was determined to belong to Coldstream Ranch, which has seen several head shot and killed in recent weeks. “Coldstream Ranch reported finding a cow shot and butchered on King Edward Forest Service Road in Coldstream on Oct. 7,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy. “The rear end of the cow had been removed from the scene.” Ranch employees have also reported a cow being shot and butchered near Postill Lake and, in July, a cow was found shot just off the King Edward Forest Service Road.

The taped-over windows and the hose leading into the running pickup truck from the exhaust on the side of Westside Road were clues to Ryan Winkler that something wasn’t right. A self-employed excavating contractor, Winkler was heading into Vernon Sept. 8 from his home near Parker Cove at 4 a.m. when he noticed the truck and called Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP. Winkler was advised to smash a window to let the air out. Grabbing a hammer from his tool box, Winkler obliged. “I expected the worst,” said Winkler, one of three people awarded Certificates of Appreciation by Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP Insp. Jim McNamara Monday morning for going above and beyond in helping police. “I was trying to get a response. I didn’t know if the person inside was alive or awake. When I broke the window, it was enough for him to come to. “He panicked and didn’t like seeing me. He put the car in drive and drove away. I was glad to see him move.” Winkler called RCMP back and told him the truck had left. Police found the truck and driver and the man inside was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital for treatment. Winkler’s action saved the man’s life. “My fear was I’d come across someone sitting there dead and I was worried about that, wanted him to be alive,” said Winkler, who was modest about receiving an accommodation. “I don’t think I did anything different than anyone else would have done. I did what I thought I was right, trying to help. I don’t feel like I did anything special.” Also receiving Certificates of Appreciation were Okanagan Landing neighbours Dave (Doc) Lowry and
John Barber for their role in helping RCMP nab a theft suspect. The pair noticed a person in a motorized boat towing three kayaks on Okanagan Lake shortly before 5:30 a.m. on Aug. 10. Lowry contacted police while Barber confronted and photographed the suspect. When police arrive, the pair pointed out the suspect’s location on the lake and utilized Barber’s boat to take police out toward the suspect. When the suspect realized he was being followed, he abandoned his boat near shore and went to land, where he was eventually arrested. Lowry and Barber helped police by towing the boats to a public boat launch where they could be seized. Their efforts stopped a potential crime spree, and aided police in returning numerous stolen items to a number of victims. Lowry had no hesitation in getting involved. “I think I speak for both of us but we saw someone stealing stuff that could very well have been ours,” said Lowry. “At 5:30 a.m., someone doing that isn’t doing it legally. Between the two of us, we were able to help police find and arrest the suspect, and we’re thrilled to learn criminal charges against him are proceeding. That’s a great thing.” Said Barber on receiving the certificate: “I was really surprised, but quite happy. I was doing what I felt should be done.” The local detachment is always happy to be assisted in their work by the public. But as McNamara said, this trio went out of their way to offer assistance. “It’s my pleasure to honour some of our citizens who helped us out in the past couple of months,” he said. “In these cases, there was a little more to it than just calling us.”

one would steal that many signs,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP Const.

Enderby shines
t’s easy to overlook, a small shed tucked away on the side of the public parking lot on Enderby’s Maud Street. You may think it houses garden tools or provides storage. But the reality is that within those four walls, there’s hope, compassion, dignity and community. “It’s an amazing story,” says Mary Anne Domarchuk, a public health nurse with the Interior Health Authority. The concept of the Harvest Sharing Hut began a few years ago when the Enderby and District Community Resource Centre determined that many resiRichard Rolke dents were going hungry. From there, an array of groups banded together and formed the Food Action Committee for Today’s Tomorrow in 2012. While there were some initial actions to tackle food security, things really took off when the shed was purchased earlier this year and the doors were officially opened wide June 29. The goal of the Harvest Sharing Hut has been to link farmers and residents with excess fruit and vegetables with those in need. The response has been overwhelming. An average of 78 people a week were served every Monday between June 29 and early October. About 3,386 kilograms or 3.72 tonnes of produce was handed out. “That’s slightly smaller than an adult African elephant,” said Domarchuk. On average, 225 kilograms of fruits and vegetables were donated, including from vendors from the weekly farmers market, who may have typically just taken any produce that

didn’t sell and diverted it to compost. “The purpose of the hut was to feed people but also to make sure food doesn’t go to waste. A lot of food goes to waste,” said Domarchuk. The scope of hunger in our communities doesn’t really hit home until you look at the statistics. Within the few months that the Harvest Sharing Hut was open, 42 adults on average received assistance a week, as well as 18 children and 18 seniors. They could be our neighbours, our co-workers or our grandparents. They could be us. No judgement calls were made as to why they needed food, although it’s no secret that high rents, a rising cost of living and a lack of meaningful employment is creating significant challenges for many in the North Okanagan. Admitting you need help isn’t an easy thing to do, but those who visited the Harvest Sharing Hut were able to hold their heads high thanks to the dedicated volunteers on site. “We’ve been making connections with people,” says Domarchuk. “There’s been lots of community and recognizing each other, being able to say hello on the street.” This form of outreach should come as no surprise as Enderby and area residents have a reputation of pulling together. One just has to remember the steady stream of people who offered to dry sleeping bags when thousands of visiting Guides were slammed by a storm two years ago. And Enderby is preparing to shine again as agencies rally behind the local food bank, which is undergoing a transition. “We need to keep something in place and we will because that’s the kind of community we are,” said Mayor Greg McCune. Keep up the good work Enderby.
We put a man on the moon nearly half a century ago, we’ve cured diseases and we can watch TV on our phones. Yet, despite all these advances, we’re still voting with pencils and little slips of paper. Across the country, voters at advance polls waited not-sopatiently in lines that exceeded one hour, sometimes two. Officials across the country apologized to voters for the excessive wait times, saying the delays were largely a result of voter turnout being far greater than expected. This of course, can be a good thing. Voter turnout is almost always lower than it should be, and any sign of it on the uptick should be applauded. But regardless of the reason, we can do better. The idea of online voting has been bandied about for years, and has especially gained steam among younger voters, many of whom are more comfortable casting a digital ballot from their smartphones or computers than they are standing in lines at the gym of their local high school. There are those, of course, who worry about computer hacking and other technological glitches compromising the legitimacy of something as important as an election. But every day, millions of Canadians bank and run businesses online, buy and sell goods and send all manner of sensitive information over the Internet. If that can be done securely, voting can be too, one assumes. If nothing else, digitalizing the in-person experience would speed up the process – perhaps having election officials search for voter names online, rather than having them sift through binders for names. For better or worse, we are an increasingly impatient society, and anything that can improve the voting process should be considered.

A sad state of affairs
am saddened by the state of our humanity during elections. I honestly don't pay much attention to campaign ads because they do nothing to inform me or to seal my vote, but what I take most offense to is individuals jumping on a campaign bandwagon and totally slandering a candidate personally. Calling people names and executing such hatred towards a political party and its leader makes me think we need to take a step back and think to ourselves, "When did we lose our humanity towards one another? And why do we feel we have the right to call each other names and take apart each other's self worth?" I may or not be voting for Stephen Harper, and I may or may not agree with his policies, but I certainly value him as a human being and appreciate and respect the fortitude it takes to run for office, be civically engaged and participate in our society
HOPE PERSISTS I'm not sure why I bother to vote in provincial and federal elections in this riding. The results are always very one-sided in favour of the candidate running for the most conservative, right-of-centre party in the election (that would be the provincial Liberals and the federal Conservatives). If you don't believe me, just look back on the past 25 years of elections for this district. I guess I'm crazy (when a person does the same thing over and over again, expecting different results). In fact, the whole Okanagan votes much the same way. Why is that? I suspect that the population demographics of our area have a lot to do with it. There are a large number of retired senior citizens in the valley. Many retirees come from Alberta, a bastion of conservative voting patterns. It is this segment of the population that Harper counts on heavily for his continuing re-election. That is why his primary two talking points are the economy and security. Keep the messages simple — a change in government will most certainly lead to economic upheaval and bad people coming after us. They are messages of fear. Many of the elderly have expe-

at one of the highest levels. I have great respect for all those who run for office no matter their political stripe. It is not for the faint at heart and takes enormous courage and strength to put yourself under public scrutiny, voice your opinions and do the best you can for our society. I know members of our legislative assembly and members of Parliament and know they ran because they care deeply about their communities, their province and their country. There may be individuals who are in politics for ulterior reasons but most, I truly believe, are in it because they care. So the dream I have is to come to a place in society where we can engage in meaningful debate and discussion and support and appreciate those who have decided to run for office. Jackie Graham
rienced the Great Depression and the Second World War, so they know from experience how awful things can become, and this message plays well to them. Meanwhile, one of the most important issues on the planet, how human endeavors are leading to irreparable damage to our environment, scarcely gets paid lip service. And when it does get mentioned, all we get are platitudes. I quote our local Conservative candidate Mel Arnold, "The agreement (Kyoto Accord) may have been over ambitious in light that Canada produces only two per cent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. It's very difficult to reduce emissions when they're already at a low level." Perhaps Mr. Arnold should do some math. Canada comprises less than 0.5 per cent of the world's population, which means that per capita, we are producing more than four times the global average of greenhouse gas emissions. But I take it from Mr. Arnold that there is very little room for improvement in this area. Really? Now that is a stance that makes me fearful. Dear folks, we have met the true enemy and he is us. But I continue to have hope that more of the elderly will become
enlightened, and that more young people will vote, and so I continue to cast a ballot. I may be crazy but I can still dream of a better road. Dan Dueck ELECTION LOOMS Two things caught my eye in the Oct. 4 Morning Star. First, that caption "New Citizens take privilege seriously,” which described two new Canadians who were about to vote in their first election. They indicated that in their country of birth, the voter turnout is about 90 per cent. Ms. Wathir and Ms. Binas both have stated, “It is our right to vote as a citizen and I want a voice." Kudos to them, and shame on us if their examples are not followed. Second was the article captioned, “OKIB declines federal party endorsements." Chief Loius indicates that past endorsement have reflected negatively on the bands' future. With all due respect to Chief Louis, I would like to suggest the endorsement of a campaign of, “Vote as you please, but please vote." The seven-band total of 5,600 simply being encouraged to exercise their right to vote would yield some new trends. One trend would be to encourage all Canadians to speak with

their vote.

PERFECT TIMING Timing is very important in many areas of every day life. An election campaign is not exempt from this maxim. The government recently announced that it has found $1.9 billion. Good timing. Some citizens will admire, be grateful and support this windfall. Others will see it for what it is, a cynical, choreographed ploy using money saved by cutbacks in science, environment, veterans' services and aid to indigenous communities. Recently, the Duffy trial was halted until after the election. This saves our current prime minister from testifying, if he ever would have to. Good timing again. With the trial stopped, some people will forget that there was a trial. Forgotten will be Brazeau, Wallin, the $90,000 cheque and the broken promise of Senate reform. In the last few weeks, Mohamed Fahmey, the Canadian journalist jailed in Egypt for nearly two years, was released. Good timing just before an election. It looks like Canada fought for his release, which Canada did not do. It is an insult when authorities
regard us as gullible and stupid and this is what is happening. It's best to think and question. Paddy O'Leary

Vipers in giving holiday mood Smokies here tonight KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
There were no post-game gatherings or socials for the Vernon Vipers after they lost 4-3 to the lastplace Prince George Spruce Kings Saturday night at Kal Tire Place. Instead, head coach Mark Ferner called for an 11 p.m. curfew and gave his players 48 hours to ponder what gratitudes they cherished the rest of Thanksgiving Weekend. The Vipers pretty much giftwrapped a turkey, complete with stuffing, for the Kings, who entered the tilt with one win and just 16 goals in 11 games. Vernon (5-6-0-1) hosts the Trail Smoke Eaters (4-6) tonight and then entertain the Merritt Centennials (5-7) Friday night with NHL Hall of Famer Howie Meeker handling the ceremonial opening faceoff. The Vipers outshot the Kings 49-21, including a 20-5 margin in the first period when they spent most of the time on the powerplay for a 2-0 lead. Vernon enjoyed a 5-on-3 where they zoomed the puck around the zone but couldn’t beat rookie goalie Liam McCloskey Captain Colton McCarthy, who scored twice on deflections in tight, felt the Vipers lost focus after 20 minutes even though he warned his teammates not to take the Kings lightly.

North Okanagan Knights centre Austin Fournier challenges Kamloops Storm defenceman Austin Crossley in KIJHL action Sunday afternoon at the Nor-Val Centre.
Knights hit goal woes Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan Knights were gracious Thanksgiving weekend hosts. The Knights (3-7-0-1) scored only once in a pair of Kootenay International Junior Hockey League losses at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. The goal came Saturday, at 9:55 of the first period from game star Graham Watkins (team-leading fourth of the year), in a 7-1 setback to division rivals Kelowna Chiefs. The Knights have since gone 110 minutes and 55 seconds without scoring, as they dropped their fourth game in a row Sunday, 3-0, to the Doug Birks Division-leading Kamloops Storm. Only the Golden Rockets (14) and Grand Forks Border Bruins (20) have scored fewer goals this season than the Knights (21). “No question, goals are hard to come by right now,” said North Okanagan head coach Bryant Perrier. “Saturday’s game was the first time this season we just got lost. We were all over them for the first 10 minutes, then we get one little piece of adversity and it snowballs. Sometimes you go through that. “The next night, we played a very good team, it was 1-0 for the most part, and we had our chances.” The Chiefs (5-5-0-0) got 2+1 from game star Josh Kobelka and went 3-5 on the powerplay Saturday in front of 180 fans at Nor-Val. Kelowna outshot North Okanagan 37-22, chas-
ing Knights starting goalie Daniel Paul after scoring three times in the first period. Tristan Quiring played the final two periods. Paul rebounded Sunday to be named North Okanagan game star as he made 27 saves with the Knights being outshot 30-23 by the Storm, who scored the winner at 19:54 of the first period. Kamloops, which owns the best record in the league at 10-1-0-1, put the game away with two goals in the final frame before 120 fans. Spencer Eschyschyn recorded the shutout. “We gave Kamloops shots from the perimeter, outside the dots, top of the blue, but they had maybe three quality chances after the first (period),” said Perrier. “We changed our systems after the first period and played better in the second and third. Blaine Caton had two breakaways. “We’re not going to panic. I’m not concerned about (won-loss) records. I’m concerned about the process. We have to keep the group calm and we’re trying to find ways to get better.” The Knights hit the Kootenays this weekend against the top three teams in the Neil Murdoch Division in the Beaver Valley Nitehawks (8-2), Castlegar Rebels (8-2) and Nelson Leafs (5-5). n Former North Okanagan head coach Jim Armstrong has been named head scout and director of player development for the KIJHL’s Revelstoke Grizzlies. Armstrong was behind the Knights bench for the 2014-15 season.

Heat take three points from Pack Morning Star Staff
Second year midfielder Ryan Jerry picked a clutch time to score his first goal of the season when he converted in the 85th minute as the UBC Okanagan Heat shaded the host Thompson Rivers Wolfpack 2-1 Saturday night in Kamloops. The Heat improved to 3-4-3 in men’s university soccer, while the WolfPack dipped to 1-5-2.

Westside blaze doused Morning Star Staff
A Westside Road fire was tackled quickly. At about 9:45 p.m. Sunday, West Kelowna Fire Rescue crews were called to an RV fire within the southern boundary of Bear Creek Provincial Park. On arrival, crews found the RV fully involved, with fire spreading into the surrounding trees, says assistant fire chief, Brent Watson. “Venting propane tanks caused the fire to flare up dramatically on several occasions, making the fire visible from downtown Kelowna,” said Watson. “Quick action by WKFR crews kept the fire from spreading into the main park area, although the RV was a total loss.” WKFR responded with 16 firefighters in three engines, one water tender, one command unit and one utility vehicle. B.C. Ambulance and the RCMP also attended the scene. Westside Road was closed for about 90 minutes while crews extinguished the fire.
There were no inju-

Public invited to university session Morning Star Staff
Members of the public, along with University of B.C. students and faculty, are invited to the next AlterKnowledge Discussion forum on colonization and how it continues to shape our relationships to place, and to each other. “Arguably, all Canadian citizens have a responsibility to understand the colonial histories
of their home community,� said co-organizer Allison Hargreaves. But, she suggests, “people often wonder what this might look like in practice, and how we can represent colonial histories responsibly. This AlterKnowledge discussion is a chance to explore these kinds of questions.� Join UBC visual arts lecturer Tannis Nielsen and fine arts
graduate student Amberley John for a discussion about the possibilities of reckoning, in art and in activism, with colonial histories in today’s world. The event takes place Friday at 7 p.m. at the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art, in the Rotary Centre for the Arts, in Kelowna. It is a free event, and the public is welcome to attend.

The Lake Country Food bank has received a major financial boost. Valley First has donated $10,000 to the food bank to help with programs. “Tackling hunger is a priority for us,” said Paulette Rennie, Valley First president. “Food banks are such a vital part of our community. To extend our support to Lake Country enables us to help even more British Columbians in need and continue to make a real difference in the fight against hunger.” In 2010, Valley First launched the Feed the Valley program to raise food and funds for food banks in the Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson regions. It has raised more than $950,000 and collected more than 60,000 pounds of food since then.

Band is cooking with jazz this weekend AmAndA morAzAin For The Morning Star
The Vernon Jazz Club will be sizzling this Saturday night as The Cookers Quintet takes the stage. The band, hailing from Toronto, is on a western tour, including the Yukon, to promote its latest album, Vol. Two. The Cookers will be playing tunes firmly rooted in the ‘50s and ‘60s hard bop movement. They will be delivering swinging, straight ahead, fun, rhythmic tunes with memorable melodies. The band features Ryan Oliver (sax), Tim Hamel (trumpet), Richard Whiteman (piano), Alex Coleman (bass), and Joel Haynes (drums). Inspired by the 1965 Blue Note recording Night Of The Cookers, featuring Freddie Hubbard and Lee Morgan, the group began a weekly residency where members developed the inspiration and chemistry to write tunes of their own. Since then they have released three albums: Vol. One, They Say It’s Wonderful featuring Leron Thomas, and their most recent, Vol. Two. Vol. Two made it to No. 1 on the Earshot Magazine jazz list and was featured by CBC Radio’s Errol Nazareth on the show Big City, Small World. Juno-nominated saxophonist Oliver first began honing his craft on Canada’s west coast before moving to Amsterdam, Toronto, and then New York. He has toured throughout India, Australia, New Zealand,

The Cookers, featuring some of Toronto’s top jazz artists, brings its western Canadian tour to the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday. the U.S., and Canada with the eclectic jazz group The Shuffle Demons. He is also a member of Juno award winning blues and rock performer Derek Miller’s group and has been the recipient of Canada Council and Ontario Arts Council grants for touring and recording. These grants have brought him to play at most of the major jazz clubs and festivals throughout Canada. Oliver’s debut recording, Convergence, made CODA
Magazine’s top 10 Canadian jazz releases of 2007. He is a featured clinician at schools throughout North America and is the artistic director for the Harbord Street Jazz Festival. Hamel is a 20-plus-year veteran of the Toronto jazz scene. He recorded the soundtrack for HBO’s television program Call Me Fitz and has played the circuit of major jazz festivals in Toronto and southern Ontario as well as at the New Orleans Jazz Festival.
His sound can be heard on his album Relapsin’ with the Tim Hamel Quartet. Whiteman has released five albums and is working on his sixth. He has performed throughout Canada and in Brazil, Egypt, and San Antonio. He has performed with a variety of groups including orchestras (The Canada Pops Orchestra), big bands (The Dave McMurdo Jazz Orchestra), new music concerts (Hemispheres Music Projects),
classical crossover groups (The Galaxy Trio), and musical theatre (Forever Plaid). Whiteman has worked with jazz greats Don Thompson, Kenny Wheeler, Pat LaBarbera, Dee Daniels, ad Marcus Belgrave. He also teaches piano and leads ensembles at both Humber College and York University. Coleman received his bachelor of music from the University of Toronto and has performed across Canada with artists P.J. Perry, Terry Clarke, Barry Elmes, and his uncle and mentor, Pat Coleman. He is the leader and arranger of the band Tonight at Noon, an eight-piece group that performs music of the bassist and composer Charles Mingus. Haynes studied at Humber College, McGill University, and the University of Toronto. His playing has taken him to festivals in North America, South America, The Caribbean, and Europe. He was nominated for a National Jazz Award in 2003 and was also invited to perform with Oscar Peterson and Dave Young for the Toronto Tsunami Relief Benefit in 2005. The Cookers hit the stage at the Vernon Jazz Club (3000 31st St.) Saturday with doors opening 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.

Artists seek the truth, and ghosts, through work showing at Headbones Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Headbones Gallery brings a taste of Toronto back to the Okanagan. The gallery opens this weekend with an exhibition of works by Toronto-based artists Daniel Hanequand and Mahmoud Meraji. Also featured will be a presentation of photos by Headbones owner Julie Oakes, who has just returned from opening her exhibition, Awestruck Calendar of Ecology, at The Canadian Clay and Glass Museum in Ontario. Both Hanequand and Meraji exhibited their works when Headbones Gallery was located in Toronto from 2005 to 2010.
“Both have been composing visual letters, communicating with another dimension that is occupied by spirits, dreams, imaginings, and ideas,” said Oakes. Born in France, Hanequand spent an artistic sojourn in New York City before immimahmoud meraji’s grating to Canada. His exhibition at Dreamer, 2015. Headbones, entitled Ghostly Yours, revolves around the previ-
ously contradictory conditions of dreams and reality, as defined in the 1920 Manifesto of Surrealism, said Oakes. “Hanequand named one of his signature pieces Ghostly Yours as if signing a letter from the other side,” she said. “He has dedicated his life to creating beings (his friends), and environments for his invented beings, that become entire worlds unto themselves.” Meraji was born in Iran and moved to Canada with his wife, Amideh, and his son, Mehrad, more than 15 years ago. Already a portrait painter as well as a modernist in his home country, Meraji studied at the Ontario College of Art and Design.
“Both of these affirmations speak of making a connection with an unrealized idea and then transferring it into a form that can be realized by another,” said Oakes, adding, “He has an exceptional hand.” Meraji will display a life-size portrait of Oakes that he painted in 2008, as well as work chosen for his exhibition, entitled Truth Seeking. Ghostly Yours, Truth Seeking and the presentation by Oakes open at Headbones Gallery Saturday with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. The gallery is located at 6700 Old Kamloops Rd. Call (250) 542-8987 for more information.

Clarkson, Kingsley drive film For The Morning Star
For its third fall presentation, the Vernon Film Society has chosen Learning to Drive, the runner-up for the People’s Choice Award at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival. Adapted from an essay in The New Yorker by Katha Pollitt, the movie lightly touches on many subjects: divorce, rage, financial warfare, conflicting philosophies of marriage, and motherdaughter strife. Wendy (Patricia Clarkson, Cairo Time), a successful and selfobsessed book editor, comes home to her New York City brownstone one day to find her husband Ted (Jake Weber) leaving her — again. But this time it’s for good, and Wendy’s initial denial turns into grief, anger, and a determination to

Although Wendy’s resolve wavers when she’s faced with the confusing jumble of an automobile dashboard, she finds a source of strength in her conscientious driving instructor, Darwan (Ben Kingsley, Shutter Island). Darwan is a Sikh part-time cabdriver who was a university professor in India, imprisoned

for his religious beliefs. His lessons in patience and concentration convey a calm, farsighted perspective steeped in Eastern philosophy. As Darwan guides Wendy through her automotive education, his seemingly infinite patience invites her to open up about her problems. In turn, Wendy’s volatile feelings about her changing marital status serve to highlight Darwan’s concerns about his own impending marriage, and the pair’s relationship soon begins to evolve in unexpected ways. Observant and sweetly funny, Learning to Drive is a reminder that two people from very different backgrounds can achieve communication, understanding, and intimacy even in the most unlikely situations. Learning to Drive screens Monday at the Towne Cinema at the regular times of 5:15 and 7:45 p.m. Tickets are available one week ahead at the Towne and the Bean Scene for $7. Cash only.

Let’s talk turkey Let’s talk turkey leftovers
hanksgiving Day has passed leaving many of us with a fridge full of leftovers from the feast. Since we can’t offer them to the thousands of hungry refugees in the world, we’d best not waste our food. There are so many ways to eat up turkey dinner leftovers. Everything from sandwiches, à la king, casseroles, and soups are being stirred up this week. I have two good recipes to add to Cathi Litzenberger the list. The first is a great turkey soup. The second is a turkey casserole, with leftover (or fresh) yams, applewoodsmoked bacon, Brussels sprouts, and caramelized onions with Gruyère cheese crust. Serve with a crisp salad and supper is ready. Turkey Leftovers Soup 8 cups water 1 leftover turkey 2 tbsp whole peppercorns 1 bay leaf 3 sage leaves 1 tsp ground savory 2 tbsp salt 3 stocks celery, roughly chopped 3 large carrots, roughly chopped 1 large onion, roughly chopped 2 cups frozen vegetable mix or leftover veggies of choice* 2 medium potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch pieces

Bridge by Phillip Alder FOUR CHOICES AT TRICK THREE George S. Kaufman, a dramatist and journalist who died in 1961, said, “Once upon a time there were three bears: Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Camembert.” That’s a pretty cheesy comment, but in this deal, declarer must bear up at trick three. He is in four spades. West leads the heart ace: three, nine, four. West cashes the heart king: six, two, jack. West continues with the heart queen. What should declarer do? First, South should check his losers. He seems to have only three: two in hearts and one in clubs. But he must also worry about that third heart. East has played highlow, indicating a doubleton.
Yes, he might be fooling, but what if he is not? Then he is threatening to overruff the dummy at trick three and give declarer an extra loser. At trick three, South has four dummy choices: ruff low, ruff middle, ruff high, or discard. Which should he choose? As I am confident you have worked out by now, the second-best play is to ruff with dummy’s spade nine. Maybe West has the 10. Here, though, East overruffs and the contract goes down one. Instead, declarer should discard one of dummy’s clubs. In this way, he trades a dangerous ruff in hearts for a much safer ruff in clubs. Suppose West shifts to a club. South wins with
dummy’s ace (the honour from the shorter side first), draws two rounds of trumps, cashes his club king, ruffs his last club in the dummy, plays a diamond to his ace, draws East’s third trump, and claims. If an opponent may objectionably overruff, consider shedding an inevitable loser.

Alice Maud Emeny
Alice passed away peacefully on October 7, 2015 with her daughter at her side. She was born in Enderby on August 27, 1925 and lived her whole life in that community until moving to Armstrong following the death of her husband. She was predeceased by her first born daughter Wanda, her son Bob and her beloved Jim. Alice was the consummate homemaker and mother as her family was the most precious part of her life. In addition to helping with the gardening and farm work on the family homestead on the Shuswap River, Alice was always involved in her community including Women’s Institute, Springbend Community Club, United Church Women, “Twice But Nice” and the Seniors Centre — often serving in executive positions. She and Jim were also very active in Square Dancing Clubs throughout the Okanagan / Shuswap as well as the RV Club. A Celebration of Life will be held at Zion United Church in Armstrong on Thursday, October 15, 2015. In lieu of flowers donations in memory of Alice can be made to the North Okanagan Hospice Society 3506 - 27th Avenue, Vernon, BC V1T 1S4.
