He’s no longer the acting head of the VernonNorth Okanagan RCMP, and he’s been promoted. Jim McNamara has now assumed the job officially, promoted from inspector to superintendent on Wednesday after consultation with the communities served by the detachment. “This is a great community to work and live in,” said McNamara. Both he and his wife are active in the community professionally and Jim McNamara personally, and he is a member of Rotary. McNamara has 30 years of experience in policing, primarily in operational and front-line duties. He first came to the Vernon-North Okanagan detachment in 2010, as the operations officer, in
charge of day-to-day operations. The detachment serves a diverse area including Vernon, Coldstream, Spallumcheen, Armstrong, Enderby, Lumby, Falkland and the Splatsin and Okanagan First Nations. “The detachment has an incredible group of competent, capable and dedicated employees, police officers and volunteers,” said McNamara. “And they do a fantastic job of working with the communities to help keep all of us safe.” Before coming to the North Okanagan, McNamara worked in an advisory role for the B.C. RCMP in its southeast district office, and it was there that he honed his relationship building skills, ensuring RCMP detachments in the area were meeting the expectations of the communities they served. His previous experience also includes watch and operations commands, command of the tactical troop and oversight of crime prevention and victim services for a large Lower Mainland
detachment. All of his policing service is within B.C. “During his service with Vernon-North Okanagan detachment, Jim has built strong relationships with local government officials and First Nations communities,” said chief superintendent Brad Haugli, B.C. RCMP southeast district commander. “Those relationships were instrumental in his being named to head the detachment. Policing is very much something we do in partnership with our communities.” McNamara’s appointment has been welcomed by the City of Vernon. “Jim has demonstrated a strong commitment to communication with the city and engagement with the citizens of Vernon and the North Okanagan,” said Mayor Akbal Mund. “His leadership skills and vast knowledge base will benefit the organization, the community and the region.

Armstrong wants to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017 with a year-long party. A community meeting will be held Thursday, Oct. 22, at 5 p.m. at city hall to brainstorm possible ideas. “We hope to coordinate groups and organizations, and have at least one major event each month in 2017,” said Armstrong Coun. Shirley Fowler. September 2017 has basically been taken care of, as the city will play host to its 118th annual Interior Provincial Exhibition, and will host a number of events in the B.C. 55-Plus Games, awarded to the City of Vernon, starting Sept. 15, 2017. One of the topics likely to be discussed on Oct. 22 is possible funding for birthday ideas. Funding was to be available through a Canada 150 Community Grant fund, but the fund has been put on hold until after Monday’s federal election. “There are very few grants where organizations in the community can apply for government funding, usually they have to go through city hall, but this is one of them,” said Fowler. “We wanted to make sure as many groups in Armstrong had a chance to look into that fund, think of some opportunities for their group to fall within the criteria of this funding and apply.” If the funding is not available, Fowler doesn’t plan on letting it stop celebrating Canada’s 150th. “We want to have a banner year to celebrate the milestone birthday,” said Fowler.

Fire destroys three vehicles Morning Star Staff
Vernon RCMP are investigating a suspicious fire off of Bella Vista Road Wednesday. Police and Vernon Fire Rescue Services were called to a property on Davison Road shortly before 4 a.m. where three vehicles – a station wagon, van and utility-type truck – were engulfed in flames. “We believe this incident is suspicious in nature,” said Vernon RCMP Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy. The three vehicles were destroyed with plastic and rubber parts melted. They were being stored on the property, owned by Monty Davis Sr., who said his son was notified of the fire. “I’m not sure why they targeted these ones,” he said. “He (son) thought the fire started in the centre and then moved over (to the other two vehicles).” Hay and wood piled next to the vehicles were scorched. Anybody with any information on the fire is asked to call the Vernon RCMP at 250-545-7171, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Enderby Food Bank keeps doors open RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Community spirit means critical services will continue to feed the hungry in Enderby. After a meeting Tuesday, it was decided the Food Action Committee for Today’s Tomorrow and Enderby Food Bank volunteers would merge. “We’re all under the same roof and we will be giving out hampers every 30 days,” said Raquel Raquel Knust Knust, a city councillor and FACTT member. The new name will be the Feed Enderby and District Food Bank, and it also includes the
Enderby Evangelical Church, which distributed hampers. The future of the food bank was in doubt after the Vernon-based Salvation Army withdrew administrative support after 20 years. As a result, FACTT and other groups decided to fill the gap. “We recognize the need,” said Knust. FACTT has operated the Harvest Sharing Hut, which provided fruit and vegetables to residents. FED will initially operate under the Enderby and District Community Resource Centre but the plan is to pursue society status in the new year so tax receipts can be issued for monetary donations. As part of establishing the new group, advice has been sought from food banks in Armstrong
and Sicamous. “The Salvation Army also wants to help move us forward,” said Knust. But to be completely successful, support from Enderby residents is necessary. “We need more donations to provide the service,” said Knust. About 20 to 40 hampers are distributed to residents every month. Money and non-perishable food items can be left at the resource centre in St. Andrew’s United Church. For those needing a hamper, they can call 250-838-7351 for an appointment. Knust isn’t surprised that the community has rallied to ensure the food bank stays open. “This is a compassionate city. This is what Enderby does,” she said.

News Councillor blasts noise from boat RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Concerns continue about shrimp boats on Okanagan Lake generating noise. Vernon council received a staff report Tuesday about noise coming from a mysis shrimp processing vessel 1.5 kilometres off shore at Eastside Road. “In the middle of the night, there’s ‘Bump, bump, bump,’” said Coun. Brian Quiring who experienced the noise while sleeping on his boat during the summer. “You hear this across the Brian Quiring whole lake. We need to find a way to get this changed.” However, it appears the city’s role in the matter is restricted as the lake falls under federal and provincial jurisdiction. “Due to the complainant contacting the ministry (of environment), the mysis program monitor visited the operation on several occasions over the summer, but failed to find a violation of the permit requirements and did not find noise levels to be extraordinary,” said Clint Kanester, the city’s manager of protective services, in a report. “The ministry’s senior fishery biologist has indicated that the moorage location meets the requirements of Transport Canada. The processing platform and operating equipment appear to meet the requirements of the federal Canada Shipping Act in that the motor is muffled and does not allow the vessel to produce excessive or unusual noise.” Any confirmation of noise would have to wait until April, when the fishing season resumes. “The owner of the processing barge has indicated that over the winter, further work will be conducted to try to attempt to further lessen noise levels,” said Kanester.

CFUW Vernon presents
There’s a big stink in Polson Park but the actual source is uncertain. Complaints have been received at Vernon city hall and The Morning Star about visitors to the park experiencing a foul odour. “Why is there such a stench at the park?,” said one person on The Morning Star Facebook page. “The smell starts from the south end and you can smell it all the way to the theatre.” On Tuesday, city council voted to ask the Regional District of North Okanagan if there are operational issues with its septage facility behind the Shops at Polson Park. “I’ve heard complaints about odours in Polson Park,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham. However, RDNO states that no public comments about odour have been received related to the septage waste disposal and treatment system. “Odour from the septage plant is quite localized and generally only when the doors are open. There is equipment that helps minimize the odour,” said Dale Danallanko, recycling and facilities operations

“...There used to be a sawmill there.”
— Dale Danallanko manager. “If there is an odour emanating from the facility, it should be short-lived.” Beyond the septage facility, there is another possible reason for the situation. “There’s a prevalent, ongoing odour in that area and that’s related to the commercial property there,” said Danallanko. “My understanding is there used to be a sawmill there and the explanation I have been told is there is organic material (composting).” Danallanko says RDNO will review operational procedures at the septage facility to ensure all odour controls are working properly.

Splatsin launch court action RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Concern over their children has the Splatsin heading to court. The First Nation served the provincial government with a notice of claim Tuesday over the jurisdiction of children in care. “For our children, we have to step up,” said Chief Wayne Christian. In 1980, the band introduced a child welfare bylaw, but Christian insists that in recent years, the provincial government has ignored the joint planning process. “We had an agreement. They recognized our jurisdiction and transferred children over to us. What’s changed?” he said. “It flies in the face of what Christy Clark says about children.” There are currently about 30 children under Splatsin jurisdiction and another five that are impacted by the ongoing disagreement with the province. Christian is confident the band will be successful in the court action and its jurisdiction will be recognized. “The issue is recognition of what we’re doing because what we’re doing is working,” he said. “Enough is enough. We want our children back. We will not allow our children to suffer through the current failures of the B.C. child welfare system in this country. We’ve got the system that works. Why is B.C. not accepting this?” As part of filing the notice of claim, Splatsin members and supporters held a rally at Clark’s constituency office in West Kelowna Tuesday. The Ministry of Children and Family Development says it can’t speak about the matter before the court. “However, what we can say is that in B.C., the Child, Family and Community Service Act sets out the requirements for child protection,” it states. “The ministry acknowledges that the Splatsin have a child welfare bylaw in place, and we are committed to working collaboratively with the Splatsin on any matter. We have developed an operational agreement regarding child protection for Splatsin children in B.C. that has been in place since March 2015.”

Revisiting 1993
he year 1993 was an important one for yours truly and the country. Not only was it my first full year working as a reporter for a newspaper (make that two papers, one in Ontario and one in B.C.), it was a year of other firsts. And no I am not referring to THAT first. At 24, it was the first time I voted in a federal election (I had missed voting in the 1988 election when I was 19 as I was travelling at the time). In October, 1992, I had moved to B.C. from my hometown of Toronto and started the new year with a short-lived job in Revelstoke before settling in Victoria. Far from the “newlyKristin Froneman wed, nearly dead” moniker that was tagged to the B.C. capital at the time, I was surrounded by many free thinkers of all walks of life. We would often find ourselves at the neighbourhood pub, slinging back ales while discussing the politics of the day. There was lots to talk about. The Progressive Conservatives, under the leadership of Brian Mulroney, had already had two terms in office. The GST was a reality. The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) had been signed the year before. Our armed forces were on a peace keeping mission in Somalia that turned ugly when two of our soldiers were accused of the brutal beating to death of a civilian teenager in the African nation. And our country, along with the rest of the world, was still in the throes of a devastating recession. Mulroney was feeling the strain. With the federal election on the horizon, he didn’t wait to count his chickens, and stepped down as leader, paving the way for Canada’s first female Prime Minister Kim Campbell, who took on the role in the interim. It was a thankless task. A few months later, I, along with the rest of
AT RANDOM
the country headed to the polls – two days after celebrating the Toronto Blue Jays’ second, and last, win of the World Series (fingers crossed for this year!). The Oct. 25, 1993 election results were devastating for the Tories. It was if a red sea enveloped the country - at least the central part of our country thanks to our electoral system of nonproportional representation. After the last count on that fateful day, Jean Chrétien’s Liberals won 177 seats, mostly in Ontario. The Bloc Québécois, under Lucien Bouchard, and Preston Manning’s Reform Party shared 109 seats between them – mostly in Québec and the western provinces, respectively. And the Conservatives were left with a paltry two seats from the 156 they held before the election. (The NDP didn’t fare much better losing 35 ridings to earn only nine.) To be honest, I don’t even remember who I voted for. All I know is that change was wanted and it prevailed. That’s how democracy works. The following years under the Liberal government would prove to have highs and lows, as is life in the roller coaster world of politics. The recession did eventually lift as would our federal deficit, but we still had the GST (an election promise broken). A tennis match between Canada and the U.S. would ensue over NAFTA. Canada would lose on set points, mostly on the agreement about softwood lumber. The 1995 Québec sovereignty referendum would be defeated, keeping our country together. By the end of his tenure 10 years later, Chrétien and his party would be swept away by the sponsorship scandal. We would ride on the Liberal Ferris wheel for a while with Paul Martin, but by 2006, a new leader by the name of Stephen Harper and the Conservatives would rise again – and again and again. It will be interesting to see if 1993 repeats. I’m doubtful. But if these past 22 years have taught me anything, it’s that politics are never boring, and oh, your vote counts no matter what. Go Jays!
Drivers distracted by their cellphones are routinely lambasted for the dangerous activity, and rightly so. The risks of engaging in the practice are huge, even if it’s only for a moment – in short, it’s life-threatening; the second-leading cause of car-crash fatalities in B.C., according to ICBC. But more and more, it’s becoming evident that drivers are not the only ones who are distracted on the road. Pedestrians, too, are guilty of the practice, of not paying attention to where they are going and the dangers around them. The fact is, pedestrians have an important role to play in their own safety, and activities such as talking and texting while crossing roads is risky business. Too often, pedestrians can be seen simply continuing their pilgrimage across a busy intersection or crosswalk with their eyes glued to their cellphones. Anyone who has been a pedestrian can attest to the reality that drivers don’t always see them, and can easily cite close calls they’ve experienced or witnessed as a result. But by the same token, many drivers can recount incidents of pedestrians simply stepping out in front of moving vehicles, oblivious to anything, save for the message they’re busily composing or reading on their smartphone. The habit can be similarly frustrating – though far less life-threatening – in stores and shopping centres, when people focused on their phones plow into those walking ahead of them. Penalties already exist for jaywalking. Perhaps additional penalties should be considered for pedestrians who put themselves and others at risk because they won’t take their eyes off their cellphones. The bottom line is, safety is everyone’s responsibility, whether they’re behind the wheel or out for a stroll, and no text or phone call is worth someone’s life or limbs. -Black Press

Vote for improved health care
n support of Ian McLeod’s recent letter “Health care tsunami looms,” I would like to expand on these thoughts related to Canada’s future health care system. I currently work in community care and have also been privileged to experience acute care, residential care, and public health. I base this letter on my personal and professional values of compassionate and holistic care of others. Our health care has traditionally and continues to focus on acute care services. This is obviously not effective or sustainable. What Canadians need is a shift in health care to primary care services. A health care model that supports preventative care is vital. This will offer safer and higher quality care. The system should also emphasize education and interventions to help people take responsibility for their health. New organizational models and funding must be developed in order to reform primary health care accordingly. By 2031, 25 per cent of Canada’s population will be 65 years and older. Beyond
IN SUPPORT I would like to support Brent Applegath’s letter to the editor in The Morning Star. The economy has been a major focus of the Conservative government in the upcoming federal election, based on the false belief that Canada controls its own economy. We live locally but we trade globally and Canada is subject to economic influences far beyond our borders. The Conservative government can claim that its fiscal management prevented a recession or even a depression, but this claim is rather hard to prove. This election is about much more than pretending the Conservatives will maintain Canada’s economic status. This election is about choosing the Canada that we want to live in. My Canada is democratic and equal. The future that the Conservatives are trying to set in place is greedy and mean. The current Conservative government was elected by 30
our aging population, we need to consider the huge number of individuals that live with chronic and life-limiting diseases. Canada’s near future death rate is going to hit hard. Currently, most health care sites, programs and professionals are swamped. McLeod made reference to people in acute care moving to palliative service. For clarification sake, it doesn’t exactly work that way.
per cent of the 60 per cent of Canadians who voted. That means we are being governed by 20 per cent of the most inflexible people in Canada – should they be given another mandate to choose Canada’s future? I am going to vote for a change in government. I suggest that all voters check out the various websites that promote strategic voting and elect a government composed of intelligent and honourable human beings rather than the yes-men and yes-women who constitute most of the Conservative MPs. M.L. de Zwart DON'T DO IT The recent Oraclepoll Research survey is suspect and leads me to question why this was done now? And secondly, why Black Press placed the poll results so prominently in our local paper? If the proponents of this poll wish to encourage North Okanagan-Shuswap voters to
Many of these people do require hospitalization for varying treatments, but there are many challenges to properly supporting this group of people. Many individuals facing life-limiting illness do so without support, unaware of available services. Some connect with community-based palliative/hospice care that offers excellent holistic support and/or system navigation. The Canadian Senate (2010) classifies
experience not only regime change but also regime shock, then this is how to do it. As a supporter of the federal Liberal candidate, I will continue to place my trust and my vote with Cindy Derkaz. She and her team of volunteers have been working the riding for more than 14 months. There is no turning back now with just days to go, and Justin Trudeau emerging as a responsive and articulate leader of a re-energized Liberal Party of Canada. I would simply say to all those thinking of strategic voting, don't do it. Rod Drennan GREAT EXPECTATIONS Several weeks ago, I sent an e-mail to each of the four political parties’ websites. I asked two questions: What are your policies regarding labelling of foods containing GMO ingredients and what are your policies regarding selling Canadian water
palliative nursing as, “intensely human and caring." We help people (and their families) live in the midst of dying. Unfortunately, related care programs are bursting at the seams. Best health care to do list: n Expanded community integrated care services to case manage chronic and life limiting diseases that can be better managed via clinic or home through community services (rather than acute/EDR re-admissions). n Improved transitional care and care collaboration between health care professionals. n Funded education that will allow health care professional's (HCP) to expand their scopes of practice (to cope with HCP shortages). n Improved access to care services. n Public friendly education and information services. n An emphasis on wellness. n An attitude of gratitude for all involved. Giselle White, BSN
to the U.S.? The Green Party answered almost immediately with a yes for labelling and a no for selling water. I have not yet had an answer from the other three. However, all four parties are now sending me e-mails asking for donations! Should I have expected more? Linda Wills GET OUT AND VOTE I'll be travelling on business on election day and won't be in my home riding so I decided to cast my ballot at the advanced polls. As I stood in line, I was appalled by the complaining going on about having to wait a few minutes and couldn't help but think that it wasn't much of a sacrifice to make compared to that of people, like my grandfather and uncles, who fought in two world wars to ensure that we would have this right. Get out and vote and quit your complaining. Peter Horsley

to change program delivery. It will also ask the Regional District of North Okanagan for a report on whether blue boxes have led to an increase or decrease in recycling. “I just want to find out,” said Coun. Scott Anderson, who says he’s received public complaints about the current collection program, including the bins being difficult to lift and litter blowing around. “What’s possible as an immediate fix to some of the problems?” In spring 2014, the regional district withdrew from recycling under a provincial government-mandated initiative. MMBC, an industry organization, took over administration for recycling and a private company was hired to collect recycling. “There are people who prefer this recycling system,” said Coun. Catherine Lord. Coun. Juliette Cunningham points out that the current program has the packaging industry covering costs. “Before, we paid for it, each person paid for recycling,” she said.
ICBC pursues rate hike Morning Star Staff
The Insurance Corporation of B.C. has submitted the remainder of its 2015 basic rate application with the B.C. Utilities Commission. ICBC is asking for a 5.5 per cent increase to basic insurance rates, lower than the earlier potential for 6.7 per cent. If approved, according to ICBC, this will mean an average increase of $3.70 per month for customers’ basic insurance coverage. The corporation says the fee hike is needed because of fraud and an increase in injury claims.

Electoral reform debated KATHY MICHAELS Black Press
Does your vote count? It’s a question often lamented in the lead up to Canadian elections, and an increasingly high number of people claim it doesn’t. The current firstpast-the-post electoral system, say critics, doesn’t reflect the interests of voters and discourages further political engagement. There are always rumblings about electoral reform, but this year, the Liberals, NDP and Greens have made it an election issue. While an appetite for change at the top tier of Canada’s political scene may be new, talks about electoral reform aren’t. Between 2005 and 2009 there were referendums in Prince Edward Island, Ontario and twice in B.C., yet the status quo in all those places prevailed, said Wolf Depner, a political science professor at the University of B.C. Okanagan. The public appetite for change hasn’t been there, he said. Depner also has doubts that the political will for change will persist if the parties now advocating for it are elected. “Electoral reform is one of these issues in Canadian politics that pops up every once in awhile, “ Depner said. “A lot of people find our system to be antiquated, outdated and no longer in touch with modern realities…but the thing is, generally parties that talk about electoral reform are the parties not in power. Once they find themselves in power, they find the value in the system as it is.” The Conservatives before they were in their current form, he pointed out, talked about it before they were elected. If the issue gets lost in the shuffle, said Depner, it will be a bit of a shame, as voter engagement seemingly increases in western democracies that use some form of propor-

tional representation. In Germany, for example, voter engagement was around 70 per cent in the 2011 election. During the 2011 election, Canada’s voter turnout sat at around 61 per cent. Voters, he said, find their voices are better represented in a proportional system. Proportional representation is designed to produce a representative body (like a par-
liament, legislature, or council) where the voters are represented in that body in proportion to how they voted. Our current voting system elects only one MP in each riding. When more than two candidates run in an election, MPs can be elected with less than half of the votes in the riding. The other half of the voters are unrepresented.
In contrast, a proportional representation voting system elects several MPs to represent a given geographic region so that most voters in that region have a voice in Parliament. With that system, Depner said that coalition building is also more common. “Parties rarely win an outright majority. Coalitions in countries that use a proportional system are the norm, not the exception,” he said. “And proportional systems are part and parcel of a more consensus-oriented form of democracy and governance, while firstpast-the-post systems tend to be common in democracies that emphasize conflict and competition.” That doesn’t mean there aren’t differences, they’re just expressed in a more muted fashion as agreement is the desired outcome.

Planning is moving ahead for parks and recreation in Cherryville and Lumby. Preliminary discussions have started for the 2016 budget for the White Valley Parks, Recreation and Culture Advisory Committee. “It’s too early to tell what we will come up with,” said director Randal Ostafichuk of a possible tax increase and service levels. Capital works will be conOstafichuk sidered, including a request to install a cement slab in Cherryville’s outdoor ice rink. Service levels and infrastructure projects will ultimately determine what tax increase is needed. However, chairperson Rick Fairbairn says the goal in recent years has been to keep a handle on expenses given the current economic conditions in

the region. “We’re cognizant of the fact that tax increases are not popular.” Money has been pumped into reserves to help ease the tax burden when capital works proceed. “We’re not at the point where we should be but we hope to continue with increases to reserves this coming year,” said Fairbairn. In 2015, parks, recreation and culture taxes went up 9.1 per cent. The hike was needed because of a decision years ago by Coldstream to remove Lavington from the White Valley parks service and put it into the Greater Vernon function. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee paid $114,000 a year to cover Lavington’s portion of existing debt load with White Valley but that agreement has concluded. The shortfall of $114,000 was reduced to $71,000 in 2015 through contracts for maintenance and other services being frozen and provincial funds covering capital projects.

Thefts from vehicles continues to be problematic for Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP. But, in at least one case, a suspect was arrested. Sometime during the night of Sept. 30 to Oct. 1, a vehicle was entered in Coldstream and a wallet was stolen. The credit card was subsequently used at several businesses in the Vernon area. “The card was used at least twice, and, through our invesNoseworthy tigation, we were able to make an arrest,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy. A 34-year-old man remains in custody in the matter. He is facing counts of possession of stolen property under $5,000, possession and using a stolen credit card and fraud of $5,000 or over. Noseworthy said the detachment continues to receive at least a dozen phone calls per week of reports of thefts of items from vehicles. “We are reminding the public to lock their vehicles at all times, and don’t leave valuables in your vehicle,” she said.

TED OSBORN/COLDSTREAM RANCH
A high pressure well has finally been plugged since it has made a mess of Coldstream Ranch lands for 50 years following a drilling error.
Drilling error finally corrected JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
The swell of a local well, which has been creating a mess at the Coldstream Ranch for 50 years, has finally been plugged. The well was accidentally drilled in 1965 by a Geological Survey of Canada scientist investigating the surficial geology of the Vernon region. “They weren’t expecting to go into an underground area that was under pressure,” said Ted Osborn, of Coldstream Ranch. The drill hole tapped a previously undiscovered artesian aquifer resulting in uncontrolled water flow at a rate of 500 U.S. (416 imperial) gallons per minute, according to Natural Resources Canada. Well infrastructure was constructed in the ‘60s to contain that water flow. “It took more than two years to contain the water flow and build well infrastructure,” states NRCan adding that in 1979, surface water seepage and uncontrolled flow were observed at the well site and an additional two-year remediation effort was undertaken. “It was their mistake and they took it on,” said Osborn.
Concerns of flooding the productive ranch were raised, so water was diverted into Coldstream Creek. Remediation efforts between 1965 and 2014 focussed on fixing the existing well and according to NRCan, between 2009 and 2014 the total cost was $4.7 million. Following a more recent leak, some stronger attempts have been made to close the well and resolve the problem for good. NRCan says the current additional $3.8 million remediation plan has resulted in the permanent sealing of the Coldstream Ranch well. A high-capacity pump was installed at the site (where a tan-coloured storage container sits over the well-head) and water continues to flow underground to Coldstream Creek. “It seems to be working,” said Osborn, who is pleased to see the land spared of any further destruction. “There’s a house close by, cattle, it’s all productive land.” The Coldstream Ranch well is the only groundwater well that NRCan has worked to control in the province.

Election stokes college kids KEVIN PARNELL Black Press
The president of the Okanagan College Faculty Association says students appear to be more engaged in this year’s federal election than in any election in recent memory. And Tim Walter says if those students realized the voting power that they have, even more might get out and vote. “There is no question students have massive (voting) power, this is what I have been talking to my students about,” said Walter, an English instructor. “They have the power but they are completely unaware. If Tim Walter you flip the numbers between voting rates for seniors and students we would have a different prime minister and a different premier.” With the University of B.C. and Okanagan College, it’s estimated some 20,000 students are hitting the books in the Okanagan. Walter says those are big numbers of potential voters that can make a difference in this election. However, past elections have shown that young people don’t get out and vote as much as the older generations. In the 2011 federal election, according to
Elections Canada, just under 39 per cent of eligible voters aged 18 to 24 cast ballots, compared to more than 75 per cent of voters aged 65 to 74. To get young people engaged and feeling that their vote matters, many have taken to technology and social media, including Matthew Heuman, a former Okanagan College student and now Concordia journalism student. Heuman developed an app this year called Vote Note in an effort to pick up the slack where he says Elections Canada no longer can, providing voter information in an easy to use app that people can access on their phones. Heuman says the Fair Elections Act, introduced by the Conservative government, will make it harder for youth to get out and vote. So the former Penticton resident took it upon himself to develop the app for smart phones to provide the information, not only to the 18 to 24 demographic but to all Canadians. “We just see this as the next step forward,” said Heuman. “Everyone has a smart phone and this should have been available 10 years ago. We didn’t reinvent the wheel here, we just made all the resources available in a much more concise way. “Everything has an app nowadays and the fact we don’t have one for one of the most important processes in the country, we see that as very archaic,” said Heuman.
North Okanagan voters flock into advance polls Morning Star Staff
Advanced polls were packed across Canada over the long weekend, including the North OkanaganShuswap. Numbers for the four advance voting days in the federal election show some 3.6 million electors voted. The North Okanagan-Shuswap riding saw 16,213, nearly double the 8,240 advance voting ballots cast in the last federal election. Overall, the Canadian total is a 71 per cent increase from the 2,100,855 electors who voted in advance in the 2011 general election.
This increase was due in part to an additional advance voting day on Sunday, offered for the first time. “Many Canadians chose to vote at advance polls in this election,” said chief electoral officer of Canada Marc Mayrand. “Having four polling days provided greater flexibility and convenience for voters.” In B.C., 507,920 residents cast their vote over the weekend, up from 259,278 in the 41st general election advance voting numbers. Over 850,000 Canadians voted on Friday and over 1.2 million on Monday, representing the two busiest days of advance voting ever.

She secured us a great mortgage and we were able to buy the house we so desperately wanted. Recently we decided to refinance. Deb and her team made this process as pleasant as when we first purchased our house. She knew exactly what we wanted, even if we didn’t. She always exceeds our expectations.

Francophone school sought KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff
When Tania Heaton moved to Vernon from the Lower Mainland, she enrolled her daughter at Beairsto school. As the only school in the district offering early French immersion, it was a logical choice for the family. But it would not have been the first choice, if Vernon offered a francophone school. “I find it hard to believe that towns much smaller than Vernon, like Nelson, have francophone schools, but Vernon does not,” said Heaton. “Is it because there are not enough qualified people who would want a francophone school or is it because qualified people are not aware that their children have a right to receive a francophone education in B.C.?” Heaton grew up in St-Felix De Valois, a small town in Quebec where 95 per cent of residents were French. “My father’s side of the family were all English,” she said. “Myself and my siblings were lucky enough to learn to speak French (as a second language) at a young age because we were surrounded by people who knew very little English. “I attended kindergarten to Grade 4 in French but left after Grade 4, because at the time if I left English school I would not be able to go back due to new laws passed by the provincial government, so I completed my education in English. I speak French fluently, but do not write French correctly.” Heaton is in the process of gauging other parents’ interest in starting a francophone program and wants people to know the admission eligibility criteria for starting a francophone school. “I would like Frenchspeaking people of Vernon to know that if they are eligible and interested, that there is a very good possibility that the government
“They could use a school and lease it from us.” — Joe Rogers
would start one up, providing there is enough interest,” she said. “I believe to start up a new school, there only needs to be about 15 to 20 qualified children. “If I get enough qualified families by January 31, 2016, a francophone school could be started up for the next school year.” The purpose of a francophone school is to teach French as a first language and encourage strong bilingualism. The teaching takes place in French. The purpose of a French immersion school is to teach French as a second language. English is the first language. Vernon School District superintendent Joe Rogers said francophone schools throughout the province fall under the jurisdiction of School District 93, the Conseil Scolaire Francophone (CSF). “If parents want it and there is enough interest, then that is something they can do,” he said. “They could use a school in our district and lease it from us. There are always some francophone parents who want this — if they have children who have been speaking French at home and are fluent by the time they start kindergarten, then French immersion may not be the best option for them. “But we would be there to support families in our district and work with School District 93 to make it work.” The CSF is a public school board that delivers the Ministry of Education curriculum. The CSF offers exactly the same programs of study as all the other public schools in B.C. The CSF has several eligibility criteria for a child to be automatically eligible for the fran-
cophone program: if the first language you learned and still understand is French; or if you attended primary school in French in Canada (excluding immersion);
or if one of your children attended primary or secondary school in French in Canada (excluding immersion) or if one of your children is currently attending primary or secondary school in French in Canada (excluding immersion). “Interesting things to note are that the grades determined by the ministry indicate that students in the CSF are
just as successful, if not more so, in the provincial exams as students in B.C. schools overall in a number of subjects, including mathematics, reading and writing,” said Heaton. Contact Heaton at tcheaton@yahoo.com if you are interested in a francophone program. For more information, see www.csf.bc.ca/ informations/foire-auxquestions/#eng

Shortridge sinks Smoke Eaters KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Vernon Viper head coach Mark Ferner shuffled his deck and came up with an average hand at best Wednesday night. Maybe a pair of eights. He called a misdeal, reverted back to his ace in the hole after two periods, and looked like poker superstar Daniel Negreanu as the Vipers rang up three goals in a 5-1 win over the Trail Smoke Eaters. Vernon improved to 6-6-1 and one point back of the second-place Salmon Arm Silverbacks and West Kelowna Warriors in the B.C. Hockey League Interior Division. The Vipers host the Merritt Centennials (5-7) tonight. NHL Hall of Famer Howie Meeker, in town for the Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame induction dinner Saturday night at the Village Green Hotel, will handle the ceremonial puck drop Friday. “There was definitely some uncertainty with new line combos, but everyone was trying to do the little things and trying to get some chemistry going and when we went back to our original lines, everything started to click,� said Viper goalie Andrew Shortridge, named second star with 41 saves at Kal Tire Place. “We started to get it deep, chip pucks out, get down there, grind it out, throw it on net and get some goals.� Colton McCarthy gave Vernon a 1-0 lead late in the snoozer first period on a shot from 12 feet that fooled Smokie goaltender Bailey MacBurnie.

Tirecraft win 2-1 Morning Star Staff
Tirecraft clipped Topsport FC 2-1 in Vernon Men’s Indoor Soccer League action Wednesday night at VantageOne Indoor Facility. Topsport FC attacked with full force in the early minutes with Fabrice Fanfani unleashing a corker which Tirecraft keeper Ean Ross somehow managed to keep out. Tirecraft caught a counter attack which led to a breakaway goal that was clinically tucked past Topsport keeper David Weir in the second half. Topsport struck back even harder but once again were unable to put the ball past Ross. A Tirecraft corner led to a cheeky back heel finish making it 2-0. In an attempt to inject some energy into the game Weir was switched for Quinzy Aarts-Roman in the midfield and with only eight minutes left, a deflected shot by Fanfani managed to creep its way into the back of the net. Menno Burnet and Nathan Gatenby both had many solo runs which ended in powerful shots on target for Topsport. Perez Vermeulen also shone.

Titans topple sick Sonics Morning Star Staff
The flu bug and the South Kamloops Titans wreaked havoc on the Seaton Sonics. Fielding only 18 players due to a nasty flu making the rounds, the Sonics fell 45-12 to the 39-player-strong Titans in Southern Interior Junior Varsity Football League action Wednesday at Greater Vernon Athletics Park. “We moved the ball very effectively in the first half but ran out of gas in the second,” said Sonics head coach Ron Kirschner. Landon Colvin scored both of Seaton’s touchdowns and racked up 220 yards rushing on the day. Miles Forrest played through the flu and chipped in another 75 yards as well as making several key blocks, as did Aidan Rivard, Chris Haber, Avery Leier, and Liam Funk. Zach Boring did an excellent job in his first game as a centre. “The offence is starting to come together,” said Kirschner. “Each game and each play the execution is getting better.” On defence, Colvin, Forrest. Thomas Mackiewich, Lyndon Rivers, Ethan Elliot, Mac Gilchrist and Craig Garnett all had touchdown-saving tackles. “We had a lot of players in unfamiliar positions today,” said Sonics defensive coach Lee Elliott. “The Titans were able to exploit that fact on some key plays.” The Sonics (0-2) travel to North Kamloops Wednesday to face the Westsyde Blue Wave (1-1). In North Kamloops Wednesday, the Vernon Panthers left their legs on the school bus and it cost them. The Blue Wave jumped out to a quick 14-0 lead, then scored twice in the final quarter to beat the Panthers 27-14. “The first half of the first quarter, we weren’t awake yet from the bus ride,” said Panthers head coach Ed Huber. “Once our defence woke up, they were able to keep Westsyde off the board for the next three quarters.” Leading the defence was Garret Black Thomas and Tyler Deboer with six tackles, Jaden Steinke had four while Charles
Lemay added three. Eight other players registered at least two tackles. The Panthers scored early in the third quarter with a 62-yard pass and run play from quarterback Thomas Hyett to fullback Bradley Hladik. Dylan Huber converted to make it 14-7. In the fourth, Westsyde put together a good drive and scored, making it 21-7 early. On the next play from scrimmage, Hyett and Hladik hooked up for a 70-yard pass and run TD on a play that was inserted at half time, closing the score to 21-14. The Panthers’ defence held and the offence went to work attempting to get a tying and potential lead-changing TD. After gaining 60 yards and three successful first downs, including a nifty 38-yard pass play from Hyett to Huber, the penalty bug stopped momentum and the Panthers punted away. The defence was not able to keep the Westsyde team out of the endzone in the final few minutes. “Westsyde had 45 players and it showed by the end of the game,” said Huber. “We will play a different game in a few weeks once some key players get back from injury.” Hyett went 8-12 for 210 yards with two TDs and two interceptions. Hladik had three receptions for 162 yards and two majors. Huber made two catches for 44 yards, and Sam Knox ran the ball four times for 60 yards. The Panthers (1-1) host the Valleyview Vikings (0-1) of Kamloops Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. at Panthers Field. Meanwhile, the Vernon Magnums lost 8-6 to the Kelowna Lions in Atom minor football action Sunday at the Greater Vernon Athletics Park. Seth Holte of the Magnums ran the ball one yard short of the goal line, where Reid Williamson punched it in for Vernon’s touchdown in the first quarter. Morgan Hackman also caught an amazing interception. In the second quarter, Kelowna scored a TD and took the lead with a two-point conversion. Lochlen Kilford, Sophia Winstanley and Morgan Hackman made four tackles

ly agreed to support the five priorities. UBCM meetings beneficial Six of seven council members attended the UBCM convention in Vancouver. Councillors Todd York and Joe Van Tienhoven found meetings with provincial ministers beneficial for the township. “They are an effective way of keeping our issues in the forefront of their minds and our relationship with them in tact,” said York. Van Tienhoven said after meeting with provincial transportation minister Todd Stone, the ministry said it would put some funding toward the township’s transportation plan. “The meetings with ministers are so crucial in getting some of the things we need taken care of,” said Van Tienhoven. “When we met with the minister of transportation, we said how much we appreciated their input into the plan, and when they realized how much money we’d spent on the plan, they offered to
come to the table with some money towards it.” Only Coun. Andrew Casson did not attend the UBCM meetings. Food truck approved The SS Spud Wagon will soon be docking near the Spallumcheen industrial park. Council approved, with conditions, a request from Vanessa McClain, a resident of the Palisades manufactured home park, to operate as a mobile food vendor in the industrial park. “This is a home occupation which consists of one food truck not stored at the applicant’s home address,” said Cindy Graves, the township’s deputy corporate officer, in a report to council. “The owner plans to operate within the North Okanagan once business licences have been approved within each community. McClain has requested operating her spud wagon once a week for three hours, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Council agreed to the request for one year.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder AFTER A RUFF, DOES AN OVERRUFF FOLLOW? Charles Ruff, a lawyer who defended president Bill Clinton, said, “Impeachment is not a remedy for private wrongs; it’s a method of removing someone whose continued presence in office would cause grave danger to the nation.” A bridge player could rewrite that as: Ruffing or overruffing is not always a remedy for making or breaking a contract; each deal must be taken on its own merits. In today’s deal, South is in four hearts. West starts the defense with three rounds of diamonds. East plays highlow, then ruffs dummy’s queen with the heart 10. What should declarer do?
It is unappealing to open one club with only three low cards in the suit, but with 13 high-card points, one cannot pass. (For those of you who use the Support Double, North’s two-heart rebid guarantees four-card support. With only three hearts, North would double over two diamonds.) South, assuming trumps are not 4-0, seems to have only three losers: two diamonds and one club. It looks easy to overruff at trick three, draw trumps, and claim. Here, though, there is a nasty surprise waiting for declarer. He suddenly finds that he has a trump loser and goes down one. South should realize that whatever happens, he will
lose a club trick -- so why not concede it now? Instead of overruffing, declarer should discard his club eight. Then everything is under control. Don’t overruff when it might result in an opponent gaining a trump trick and you have an inevitable loser to discard.

The City of Armstrong will join the Township of Spallumcheen in working closely with the ArmstrongSpallumcheen Trails Society. The society expressed interest earlier this year in meeting with staff from both municipalities to review the current trails master plan, and to meet regularly, on a monthly basis, to discuss further trail development. The request was for two hours per month of staff time. “Greenspace planning and development requires infrastructure planning and budgeting,” said Armstrong chief administrative officer Melinda Stickney. “Future trail corridors in the city are most often linked to opportunities which may arise in conjunction with acquiring lands as part of development approvals. “Staff look forward to working with the society as a valuable resource to bring council’s vision for greenspace in the community to life.” Council supported four staff recommendations which included appointing a liaison (Coun. Paul Britton) to attend society meetings, and freeing up two hours of staff time to review the current plans in the official community plan with the society.

The world of education is changing and students at Vernon Community School will benefit from innovative concepts being put into practice by teachers and administrators. The program will provide learning opportunities that develop students’ thinking, social and personal competencies. The program will also look to provide mentors from the local community, encourage students to ask questions and take up their own learning, and invite parents to be part of their child’s education. “Parents have an expectation that we are doing everything possible to prepare their children for the future,” said Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA. “This program at Vernon Community School helps us accomplish that.” The K-12 Innovation Partnership gives public and independent schools the opportunity – and support – to explore new programs and practices to help students and teachers succeed. Each project will receive $8,000 in financial support for teacher release time, research, and project expenses, plus there will be opportunities for project teams to collaborate with colleagues and explore how these innovative concepts could be adopted by other school districts.
Sale feeds a need Morning Star Staff
Greater Vernon residents can help the local food bank stock its shelves for winter. A garage sale and bottle drive will be held at the Salvation Army Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. “The garage sale will have a wide assortment of goods for sale, such as toys, books, household goods, tools, and sporting goods,” said Renee deTourdonnet, with BDO Canada, which is organizing the event. “Bottles and cans will also be collected to be sorted and taken the to the bottle depot.” The event is part of BDO’s annual Drive Away Hunger campaign, which brought in almost 11,000 pounds of food locally last year. “The great thing about this event, is that 100 per cent of the proceeds will go directly to the food bank” said deTourdonnet Anyone with items to donate to the event can contact deTourdonnet at 250-545-2136.

Be responsible in the backcountry
W
ithout a small army of 2,500 volunteers and the $6.3 million that the Province spends to fund their searches, the lost might not be found in B.C.’s backcountry. Since April, there have been 130 more calls for rescue from throughout the province compared to the same time period last year - that creates a taxing situation on the volunteer teams and to the B.C. taxpayer who, through the province, pays 100 per cent of the costs for their searches. Rightfully, there are calls to action by outraged British Columbians who are frustratNaomi Yamamoto ed that some of these rescues are required only because of poor planning or lack of experience, causing undue strain and drain on local and provincial resources - I share that frustration. As a trail runner I have seen and cautioned casual hikers, like the one I met in three-inch heels and a red cocktail dress, that embark on hikes without properly preparing - often without the obvious and bare minimum like water, food, flashlights and proper attire. B.C.’s backcountry is full of opportunities, but it is not a playground for carelessness; there can be consequences, not the least of which are felt by the selfless and dedicated folks that leave the warmth of home, forego free time with their families to seek and find those that are lost, often throughout the dark of night, only to launch back into their day-jobs the very next morning, sleep deprived. We recognize that these volunteers are a valued safety net and purposely, because of their importance, the province is providing the broadest level of support and the most amount of money annually that the B.C. Search and Rescue program has ever received. This government has made supporting search and rescue a priority. We fund 100 per cent of their operational deployment costs, including the cost of every helicopter flown, every band aid applied, every meal and even the mileage costs for volunteers. We pay for their liability and worker compensation insurance, help provide training and equipment, and help offset administrative costs to free them up for more time on the ground. We recognize the challenges these Search and Rescue teams face and that’s why the province is working closely with the B.C. Search and Rescue Association to explore an alternate model for funding support. Make no mistake. We’re on the same team and working for the same solutions, and we share many of the same frustrations. We recognize their challenges and funda-
MINISTER REPORT
mentally agree that changes must take place to ensure the sustainability of the search and rescue program, but a different model of funding support and recruitment is only half the solution, the other half is just as critical and it’s about personal responsibility by the recreationalist to adequately prepare before heading into B.C.’s beautiful backcountry to avoid putting yourself in jeopardy. Tips: n Never hike alone. Leave a message with someone on your destination, route and anticipated return time. n Be prepared for the elements with proper hiking and contingency gear like extra layers of clothing, a shelter and something to start a fire with for warmth overnight.

Search and Rescue crews train so they are prepared in the event of an emergency.
n Bring water - hydration is not only critical during your hike but to sustain you if you get lost. n Be aware of how far you’ve gone and when you need to turn back to avoid hiking in the dark always carry a flashlight just in case. n If you become lost, don’t keep moving. Stay put and wait for help; don’t presume downhill will get you back on track, downhill can lead you into dangerous terrain. Carry a signaling device like a whistle so searchers can find you even if they can’t see you. n Carry communication and navigation devices, like a cell phone with a full charge, a personal locator beacon, compass or GPS unit.

The students volunteered to clean up the grounds of the Caetani house. Hale will have an open studio and meet-theartist talk Oct. 29 at her studio at the Allan Brooks Nature Centre from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
With a fresh take on retro sounds, Vancouver band Ripple Illusion mixes musical influences from a variety of different eras. The band’s brand of piano-driven rock will echo off the walls at Vernon’s the Naked Pig Sunday. “Ripple Illusion was the first band to officially play a show at the Naked Pig this past August, and had an incredibly successful evening. Everyone enjoyed their soulful rock sounds, and we couldn’t be more excited to have them back on Sunday night,” said show promoter Alexa Harwood-Jones. Ripple Illusion was created in the fall of 2014 by singer-keyboardist Mike Turner, a member of the accomplished Canadian rock band Damn Fools. He was inspired by his experience at the 2014 PEAK Performance Project and decided to join forces with longtime friend and blues musician Caroline Allatt. Together, they realized their musical influences were complimentary and they began incorporating tight vocal harmonies into the fabric of

The band released its self-titled debut EP in May, and had a successful tour playing venues throughout Western Canada this summer. “Playing the first ever show at the Naked Pig, on a Monday night no less, was probably one of my favourite experiences as a travelling musician,” said Turner of the band’s first show in Vernon. “We can’t wait to keep coming back to this hidden gem of a venue.” Ripple Illusion starts its performance at the Naked Pig Sunday at 7:30 p.m. The show is all-ages with no cover fee.

Sun Dial Lighting 2801 44th Avenue, Vernon
250-545-7370
Visitors to the Vernon Public Art Gallery are about to explore the history of the first peoples of this region while witnessing a futuristic light display with two new exhibitions opening next week. The work of Vernon ceramics, fibre and installation artist Carolina Sanchez de Bustamante will be accompanied by a group exhibition by the Okanagan’s Kama? Aboriginal Arts Creative Collective. In her exhibition, Self-Similarity, Argentinean-born and Vernon-based artist Sanchez de Bustamante will examine patterns of light and fractal phenomena to address issues connected to the interpretation of the human condition in general. “The exhibition Self-Similarity is an expression of our basic desire for understanding of universal human experience,” said VPAG curator Lubos Culen. Sanchez de Bustamante’s installation consists of approximately 100 anthropomorphic ceramic forms that are 24 inches high. They will be placed in close proximity to one another in the centre of the gallery space, with
approximately 1,500 strands of optical fibre suspended from the ceiling directly above the conglomeration of figures, which will be illuminated by the coloured light. The fibre optics will be in constant movement, caused by viewers walking by the installation, and the airflow from air ducts in the gallery space. “The moving and repeating patterns of light serve as a metaphor for fractal phenomena, which repeats itself on micro, but also on macro levels,” said Sanchez de Bustamante. “Fractals that exhibit a repeat pattern displayed at every scale are referred to as selfsimilar. In this sense the installation as a whole expresses the binary order related to the environment and the human condition.” In Legends, the Kama? Aboriginal Arts Creative Collective explore the history of Syilx (Okanagan) people via the artwork of its members: Sheldon Pierre Louis, Mariel Belanger, Dean Louis, Barb Marchand, Csetkwe Fortier, Janine Lott, Cori Derrickson, Pat Raphael, and Ruby Alexis. “The Syilx know the history of the land, as oral stories passed down from one person to
another, from generation to generation, as a record called captikwl (legends),” said Kama? member Louis. In Legends, the viewer will experience the artists’ accounts of the history of the meaning of being Syilx as traditional intertwines with contemporary. “The artists’ interpretations of the Syilx stories bring to life a world of interconnectedness between the people and the land,” said Louis. Each artist brings his/her own original ideas and preferred medium from his/her own personal expression as a First Nations artist, he added. “The explorations range from teachings found in tradition, oral history to contemporary connections.” Thursday’s opening reception for both exhibitions will feature Kama? member Fortier performing hand drum songs. Appetizers and refreshments will also be served. The opening takes place from 6 to 8 p.m. and both exhibitions continue at the VPAG until Dec. 23.

oung Peter (Levi Miller) has lived his entire life in a British boy’s orphanage run by nuns. Curious and precocious Peter begins investigating his belief that the nuns are secretly selling the boys at night and keeping the profits for themselves. Soon he discovers that his belief is false when he, along with many other boys are kidnapped by pirates in a flying sail boat. Whisked off to Neverland by the jolly, yet cruel Blackbeard (Hugh Jackman), Peter is put to work with the other Lost Boys, mining pixie dust. It doesn’t take long before Peter gets into trouble and is thrown in the pit. However, when everyone, including Peter, is surprised to find out he can fly, a prophecy may be fulfilled, whereby a flying boy leads a rebellion against Blackbeard,
Levi Miller is Peter Pan in the story of the character’s origin.

restoring order to the fairy kingdom. We say, “Pan is not as bad as everyone says it is.” TAYLOR: Pan is technically sloppy in its computer graphic imagery, meaning it’s really easy to tell when people aren’t actually running, or standing

looking at something or flying through the air. In a film where 90 per cent of its background scenery isn’t real, this becomes detrimental. Some of the acting in the film comes across as exaggerated, like a theatre production. This complaint isn’t as important in a kids’ film and is acceptable some of the time. When Jackman is swinging his sword, wide-eyed and screaming, it works. When James Hook (Garett Hedlund) (a good guy in his early years) is doing an impersonation of Jimmy Stewart imitating Jon Wayne, it gets a bit weird. HOWE: I would even go as far as saying Hedlund’s character is based on some of Harrison Ford’s earlier roles. It felt like a pantomime at some points. The delivery of his lines were either terrible or great, depending on if he was trying to say them in that style. All that was missing was the one liner, “He’s behind you.” The strongest actor in Pan was probably young Peter himself, played by Miller. He gave a good all-around
Warner Bros.
performance and losing his Australian accent for the role was very impressive. TAYLOR: Having docked all my points in the first paragraph, I’m happy to report that this is still a fun and entertaining movie, particularly if you’re familiar with the Peter Pan story. I could see eight and nine year olds eating this up. Most people aren’t going to notice the bad effects; most kids aren’t going to be bothered by weird accents and overacting. I was, but I’m picky. I did like the new back story they created for Peter and the others, while still touching on elements of the original Pan. HOWE: Agreed. The younger audience will eat this up, yet I can’t say I wasn’t entertained. The story itself is different than the original and it leaves a little unexplained, concerning Pan and Hook. If it does well, you can expect to see a part two: What happened to Captain Hook? TAYLOR: It’s bombing, so probably not... – Taylor gives Pan 2.5 dodgy accents out of 5. – Howe gives it 2.5 Spitfires out of 5.

Weirdly wonderful
thunderclap!: Hellbent on Success
O
ntario-based singer/ songwriter, Thunderclap is a voice in the wilderness. He’s on the fringe and sings loud and clear about it. Thunderclap has the spirit of a vaudevillian and his album, Hellbent on Success, has an unbridled comedic strain of expression that runs through it. Hellbent on Success wallows in weirdness and celebrates its lack of conventional signposts. Thunderclap’s voice is strong with a pronounced operatic quality that hints at overthe-top mannerisms but rarely goes there. It’s a put-on, theatrical voice that can be part carnival barker, saloon singer or down-at-theheels tenor. Thunderclap’s songs perversely beg for a label, so let’s call it eccentro-rock. Some similarities are heard in past songs by Richard Harris (MacArthur Park) or Herman’s Hermits (Henry the Eighth) or strange songs like Needles and Pins. Ken Smedley presents THE
Street SoundS
Dean Gordon-Smith
Thunderclap’s music is similar in effect to Captain Beefheart or Frank Zappa where it’s unclear what is novelty or craziness or parody. A kindred contemporary is fellow Canuck, Hawksley Workman. Both singers share the same carefree individuality and are unclassifiable. Also, having left-field singers like Mary Margaret O’Hara on board doesn’t clear the situation. Her contribution to The Hitmaker is spoken word silliness. Like all of the album, it’s assumed that the tongue is in the cheek. The songs and production (by Spooky Ruben of Feist and Keisha fame) have elements of Rocky Horror Picture Show drama and kitsch. It’s like lis-

tening to music from some 1950s’ carnival funhouse. There is lots of abstraction or distraction. The talent and charm of Thunderclap’s voice is clear and if some of the instrumentation was pared down, the songs would translate stronger. Hellbent on Success is a celebration of eccentricity and freeform expression and Thunderclap is a singular talent who is wonderfully warped.

Hike in Armstrong
Lots At Knox
Morning Star Staff
The Armstrong/Spallumcheen Trails Society is partnering with Armstrong/Spallumcheen Parks and Recreation to offer another guided hike. Following on the heels of hikes taken to Thomas Hayes Ecological Reserve and Rose Swanson, this time participants will be able to walk two trails around the city of Armstrong Oct. 24. Anyone interested can meet in Memorial Park on Pleasant Valley Road by the cenotaph at 10 a.m. The hike will take about an hour and will be a circle route, so will end in the park. The walk is family and age friendly. Once back at the park, the Age Friendly Community Advisory Committee will give a demonstration on how to use the exercise equipment in Memorial. The trails include road connectors and information and maps are available at the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce office on Mill Street or on the Trails Society website, astrailssociety. com, or call 250-546-8335.

Castle in Cherryville inspires local writer Sylvia Abolis Mennear to sign copies of her fiction fantasy novel LISA VANDERVELDE Morning Star Staff
Sylvia Abolis Mennear’s imagination came to life after her husband built her a castle. Mennear, originally from Vancouver, moved to Vernon with her husband and sons 24 years ago. In 2010 they purchased property in Cherryville next to the Shuswap River, where her husband, Jim Mennear, built a replica of a 15th century Brazilian castle. “Of course I fell in love with the house
and it brought back many of my childhood fantasies and dreams again. This was the inspiration for my book,” said Mennear, self-published author of Enchanted Castle On the River. Her young adult novel tells the tale of Matthew, a teenaged boy, who encounters a wizard in the woods and finds himself transported into medieval times and transformed into a prince. Life as a prince turns out to be less of a fairytale and more of a nightmare. His younger brother wants him gone, so that he can become king after their father dies, and all Matthew wants is to return to the 21st century. Enchanted Castle On the River, “Matt’s Journey” is fiction fantasy for ages eight and up and was self-published in June 2015. The book can be purchased on Amazon and Chapers Indigo online with more information on the Enchanted Castle On the River Facebook page.

Armstrong produce sharing program a success Contributed to The Morning Star
The Armstrong Food Initiative Society’s last day for produce sharing at the Community Garden has come and gone for another season. “Every year we are amazed by the variety and amount of produce this valley grows. We are also awed by the generosity of growers who are happy to share any excess they have,” said Jill de la Salle, with the Armstrong Food Initiative.
MORNING STAR FILE PHOTO
The Armstrong Food Initiative collected 3,436 pounds of produce from local growers for its sharing program this year. This year, a total of 3,436 pounds of produce was col-
lected, representing an average of 312 pounds every Monday. This was shared with about 37 people as well as with seniors living centres, Abbeyfield House and Kindale. “The Armstrong Food Initiative Society would like to thank all the growers who were willing to share their crops with others,” said de la Salle. “We would especially like
to thank Ben and Margaret Crozier, Pilgrim’s Produce, Nick Kicey, Gallager’s Harvest and Trent Weins for their regular and generous support of this program. “We would also like to thank the ladies and gentlemen who volunteered on Mondays: Janet Ashton, Maureen Sieg and her sister, Lisa Scott and her daughters, Shirley Hassen, Harvey de la Salle and Arnold Hooganboom.”

The selector connects to six-speed automatic transmission (both engines) and shifts can also be made via paddles on the steering wheel.

Clever, under-console storage has also been created and super comfy 22-way adjustable front seats are a new option. These seats come with an active motion massage feature for the upper legs and lower back via six adjustable air bladders. They also come with fourway power head restraints and power thigh extenders. If parking is not your favourite pastime Lincoln MKX has a couple of new technology solutions. An enhanced park assist system, offers 360-degree camera coverage to provide a birds-eye view of the vehicle (and up to almost two metres all around it), making any low-speed parking situation easier. An even more advanced “auto-pilot” parking system, with 12 ultrasonic sensors, can now guide MKX into a perpendicular parking stall, in addition to parallel parking assist and park out assist. Like most vehicles in this class, numerous helpful driver safety aids are available for the MKX and include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping system, blind spot information system and cross-traffic alert. A new pre-collision assist system helps avoid or lessen the severity of frontal impacts with another vehicle, or a pedestrian.

Volvo cars and Autoliv join forces in autonomous driving By Metroland Media
Volvo Cars and Autoliv, an automotive safety technology company, two of the world’s leaders in automotive safety, have agreed to work together on the ground-breaking Drive Me project, the world’s first large-scale autonomous driving (AD) initiative.
significant benefits. Autoliv’s established R&D and engineering expertise in automotive safety will contribute to the development of cutting edge active safety and autonomous driving technologies.
Drive Me involves 100 self-driving Volvos being used by families and commuters on public roads in everyday driving conditions in the Swedish city of Gothenburg – the first time anywhere in the world AD cars have been made available to members of the public for their daily use.
The range of participants in the Drive Me project reflects the many benefits associated with automated driving, such as more efficient road usage, more economical vehicle usage, less congested streets and better town planning.
The two companies will work together to share research and development into the latest safety technologies and engineers and other industry experts from both companies will collaborate to push forward the introduction of active safety systems. Drive Me is a broad collaboration of a number of public and private sector participants, including Volvo Cars, the Swedish Transport Administration, the Swedish Transport Agency, Chalmers University, Lindholmen Science Park and the City of Gothenburg. Autoliv’s inclusion in the Drive Me alliance will generate
One extremely important aspect of autonomous driving is the potential for far fewer traffic accidents, injuries and fatalities.
Volvo is partnering with a noted automotive safety company to start work on a large-scale autonomous driving system.
According to independent statistics, more than 90 per cent of all fatal accidents are believed to be caused by human error, typically due to inattention. A self-driving car can detect and respond to situations causing these tragedies. The present active safety systems for Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning,
Safety Lane Keeping Aid are examples of the first step towards automated driving. Advanced driver assistance systems for active safety are designed to detect and warn and/or prevent car accidents by using different sensor technologies such as radar and vision systems.

Carol “Mick” Holweg August 18, 1949 - October 10, 2015
Our sorrow is immeasurable as we announce the sudden passing of Carol “Mick” Holweg on October 10, 2015 in Vernon, BC. Carol was born August 18, 1949 in Vernon and remained to later marry Don Holweg and raise her family of two. She loved many sports and was active in swimming, snow and water skiing, squash and playing hockey. Whatever she participated in, she gave it everything she had. For many years Carol owned and operated a landscaping and property maintenance business throughout Vernon. She gave endless hours in detail and work ethic to her many clients and projects. She was known as Carol to some and “Mick” to many as friend and helper always. A harder worker could not be found, she offered up her heart and soul. Carol was predeceased by her son, Jason Holweg in 2000, her mother Margaret Brandt in 2008 and her father Gene Brandt in 1972. Carol will be remembered with love by her daughter Lee Holweg Kirk, grandson Ryan Kirk and exhusband Don Holweg. Carol is further survived by her four brothers: Clayton Brandt (Marj), Cliff Brandt, Keith Brandt (Mary) and Ken Brandt (Wanda) who all live in Vernon; her three sisters: Evelyn Shields of Fort St. John, Gloria (Tim) Smith of Armstrong and Rosemary Falkins of Armstrong as well as nieces and many nephews. Please join Carol’s family in remembering her at an informal gathering at the Schubert Centre, 3505 - 30th Avenue, Vernon to be held Saturday, October 17 from 2 - 4 pm. In lieu of flowers a donation to a charity of choice may be made if you wish. Cremation arrangements were entrusted to Pleasant Valley Funeral Home.

Ronald Gomer Nuyens May 25, 1960 - October 9, 2015
The family is sad to announce the sudden passing of Ronald on October 9, 2015 in Vernon. May he rest in peace with his father George, his mother Myfanwy (Miff) and his sister Sharon Romeo, who predeceased him. Ron is survived by his daughters: Sadie, Callie, Emma and Tess along with their mother, Lynn. He is also survived by his brother and sisters: Gordon (Patricia) Nuyens, Bonnie (Byng) Blackmore, Irene (George) Hannah, Pat (Reg) Duggan, Cathy (Randy) Clark, brother-inlaw Perry Romeo and his companion Jan Nucich, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Ron’s infectious laughter and smile will be remembered by all of the lives he touched — he could light the room. Ron was born and raised in Coldstream where he was known to terrorize the neighbourhood with the Ralston, Penning, Hartwig, Rail and Relph boys and enjoyed the lifestyle that only Coldstream living, good friends and large families could provide. Cars, motorbikes, anything with an engine was his passion and at all hours of the day (or night) he could be found in, under, over or on top of a vehicle and the shop was the meeting place where everyone joined for work, laughter and/ or a drink. He was known throughout the Okanagan for his skills and talent in auto body, paint and he loved the challenge of rat-rods and restoration. He enjoyed soccer, broom ball, baseball and golf, sing-a-longs, his dog Nugg and he loved his family! You will be always on our minds, forever in our hearts — until we meet again! A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, October 24th, from 2 - 4 pm at the Coldstream Institute Hall. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to the SPCA.
