Grade 6 student Kadence Arpots points out her name on the voting list as Trinity Remple, Grade 5, and Caitlin Gingras, Grade 5, cross off her name Wednesday during the Vernon Christian School’s mock federal election. Elementary and high school students across Canada participated in the eNational Student Vote Week program created by CIVIX, a national civic education charity, and partnered with Elections Canada.
Future of Canada lies in voters’ hands RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
One of the longest election campaigns in Canadian history is virtually over and political aspirations are now in the hands of voters. North OkanaganShuswap residents will head to the polls from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to select a new MP, while also observing the national scene. “It’s been a steady build-up towards this,” said Mel Arnold, Conservative candidate. “There have been diverse people and issues and it’s been great to be part of that. We have a real diverse community in North Okanagan-Shuswap.” For Arnold, the priority before the polls close is to ensure people cast a ballot. “We have a huge team of volunteers
and they are door knocking and attending events. It’s been overwhelming the amount of support,” he said. “Complete strangers have come out to help and friends too. I think it’s close but support on the doorstep and at events is good. I think will see the best route A people D is with the Conservatives.” A CAN Liberal Cindy Derkaz is upbeat. “The campaign has been going really well and we have a real momentum, and people are asking how they can help,” she said. Derkaz’ team will also be going flat-out today and Monday. “We will be door knocking and phoning. It’s important to emphasize that the polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.,” she said. “We have the energy to carry on until 7

p.m. Monday.” Derkaz believes most voters have decided who they will support. “People know what they will do and the steady trend upwards (nationally) for the Liberals is carrying over into our campaign. People are really engaged.” Green Chris George isn’t forecasting a win, but he is pleased with the results of the campaign. “If you trust polling, we are three to four times ahead of the rest of the country for Green support,” he said, adding that he’s been able to spread the party message. Another positive, according to George, is that other parties are accepting Green policies. “The Liberals are on board with the 2008 Green environmental policy and they are on board with our idea of a youth employment program,” he said. “The Liberals look poised for a strong minority or a majority government and

we will hold their feet to the fire no matter how many Greens are elected.” Jacqui Gingras, with the NDP, says she’s been overwhelmed by the election process. “This campaign has been an incredible experience. I have met so many supportive people,” she said. Like the other candidates, Gingras isn’t slowing down any time soon. “We’re working very hard to reach people who haven’t decided or voted yet. Every moment is scheduled to meet with people,” she said. “We have done everything we can to have a breakthrough.” Gingras believes the results will be tight Monday. “We’ve moved an incredible distance from 2011 when the Conservatives garnered almost 32,000 votes,” she said. Polls will be set up throughout the North Okanagan-Shuswap Monday. For more information, go to www.elections.ca.

Young man eager to exercise his right ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Ian Pusey can’t wait to cast a ballot in Monday’s federal election. It’s something the first-year UBC Okanagan business student has been looking forward to since, well, the last federal election in 2011. When he was 13. And watching the election on TV. And ignoring parents Ann and Doug’s pleas to go to bed, wanting to stay up to see who won. Pusey turned 18 – the eligible voting age in Canada – three days before the election. “It’s an important pillar of our society, our ability to express our opinion through voting,” said Pusey, a proud graduate of Coldstream’s Kalamalka Secondary School. “That’s one of the things that separates Canadian society from a lot of other countries in the world. We have the freedom to share our opinion and to have our voice heard. It’s very important that we do that.” An employee at Sparkling Hill resort – when not studying business at university – Pusey has kept tabs on politics since that
2011 election. In Grade 10, he and others from Kal Secondary went to Ottawa with the Encounters With Canada group to learn how government functions, visit the Parliament buildings and learn about Canada’s heritage. The fact that he can now vote leaves him a little excited. “It’s exciting in the same way you go for a driver’s test,” said Pusey. “The results might be good, or, at the same time, they might not be good but it’s something you have to do.” Calling himself a “fiscal conservative but upholding more progressive social values, so I’m kind of stuck in the middle on that,” Pusey figures most of his friends will join him in casting a ballot for the first time, and that their minds are made up on who they’ll vote for. “I’d say two-thirds of my friends have made a decision on who they’re going to vote for and have put some thought into it,” he said.

Ian Pusey turns 18 just in time to cast his first vote in the federal election. Pusey will join his parents after his Monday afternoon economics class at whatever polling station they’ll be going
to, and has taken election night off work to watch the action on TV. His prediction? “I would say we’re not going to see a majority government this time around,” he said. “The Conservatives don’t have as much popular support as they used to. Vote-splitting on the left wing is not going to lead to a majority for either the Liberals or the NDP. “I would project a minority Liberal or minority Conservative government.” No matter the outcome, Pusey encourages all eligible first-time voters, and everyone eligible to mark a ballot to get out and vote. “People like to cite that there’s a failure in our democracy and their vote doesn’t count for anything,” he said. “I’d like to see those people spend a week in say, North Korea, then come back here and tell me about the failure of our democracy. “It is truly a representative democracy. If you want to change it that better suits your needs, you can vote for a party that wants to change the democracy. Both the Liberals and NDP want to change our representation system, so vote for one of them if you want to change the system, you know?”
Rural communities investigate sewer option RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A multi-jurisdiction push for sewer services has one community sitting on the sidelines. Areas B and C, Spallumcheen and the Okanagan Indian Band will explore options for sanitary sewer, but the City of Vernon has not been invited to participate although it already has a treatment plant and the Swan Lake corridor is part of its growth strategy. “The city has had many years to approach this,” said Bob Fleming, Area B director. “Anything involving the city means annexation into the city. That would make it difficult for Spallumcheen and the band to participate.” One city official isn’t sure what the multi-jurisdiction approach will

achieve. “They have the right to do that but they will find it (sewer) expensive. They will probably come back to the city anyway,” said Coun. Catherine Lord. However, Lord admits that the city is busy within its own boundaries and there could be benefits to sewer along Swan Lake and south Spallumcheen. “Any development out there is good for the city because there will
be industrial land.” The first step among the electoral areas, Spallumcheen and the OKIB is to develop a master waste water recovery plan. While the Swan Lake commercial corridor, south Spallumcheen industrial/commercial area and parts of reserve land will be reviewed, there is no guarantee of where sewer could be installed. “We have to have an affordable system,” said Fleming.
The consultant’s report could be available for consideration early in the new year. “We will see if it warrants going forward and we hope it does,” said Fleming, adding that besides economic development, a sewer system would protect Swan Lake. The OKIB is currently designating land for possible development. “It’s great to be working with our neighbours,” said Chief Byron Louis. “More funding opportunities arise when small governments stop competing for provincial and federal grant dollars and start collaborating.” If a sewer utility is developed, it’s hoped treated waste water can be used for irrigation. “Every drop of water that can be recovered will help with drought

Lake Country RCMP are trying to identify a suspect after a theft at a coin laundry.
Officers seek suspect Morning Star Staff
Police want to identify an individual after money was stolen from a Lake Country coin machine. On Oct. 5 at about 12:30 p.m., a male suspect entered the Winfield Coin Laundry on Highway 97. “Video surveillance appears to show the suspect using a technique called stringing on the currency change machine,” said Const. Kris Clark.
“The technique essentially tricks the machine into dispensing coins even though no bills are deposited in return. The man spent several minutes stringing coins before he was confronted by other patrons and left in a silver Dodge SUV.” Anyone with any information on this incident is asked to contact the Lake Country RCMP detachment at 250-766-2288 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Market criticizes arena plan RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A popular attraction insists its getting the cold shoulder over plans for a new arena. Officials with the Vernon Farmers Market say they could be negatively impacted if Kal Tire Place is extended into the north parking lot where vendors gather twice a week from spring to fall. “If an additional adjacent parking lot is not built prior to the new facility, we would have to significantly shrink and the parking for patrons would be a mess,” states the VFM board of directors in a letter. “Moving to a different location, even during construction, is not an option as we have too much invested in promotional material and signage and there really isn’t anywhere to move to. It should be mentioned that our lease is good for three more years.” The VFM board questions why it was

The Vernon Farmers Market is concerned that a new arena at the north end of Kal Tire Place could negatively impact its activities. not consulted during planning for a new ice sheet. “We strongly feel the solution is to build the extra ice sheet to the west,” it states. “But we all know the real issue is the proverbial elephant in the city, Kin Race Track. The west option would encroach on the race track land and we
believe this is the major reason the north option was chosen. With all due respect, it is time for the (Okanagan) Equestrian Society to move forward. The current condition of the site is a dangerous eyesore. Perhaps their history and legacy can be realized in a different way, including actually supporting local farm-
ers by making the west option possible.” Akbal Mund, Vernon mayor, doesn’t believe extending Kal Tire Place to the west is possible. “The option to the west would go over water table and professionals say that wouldn’t be a wise idea,” he said. Mund also says there has been consultation with the farmers market over a possible new ice sheet. “Staff has dealt with the market and is looking for possible sites (for the market),” he said. “We don’t even know if an ice sheet will happen so this could be jumping the gun.” Currently, the provincial government has not approved the Regional District of North Okanagan’s plans for an ice sheet referendum. As for the ongoing legal dispute between the city and the Okanagan Equestrian Society, Mund is confident that’s moving ahead.

“We will approach the society in the next month to try and reach a conclusion,” he said. The estimated economic benefit of the farmers market to the region is $3.35 million annually and about 99,088 people visit every year. “To put this into perspective, the Vipers would have to fill Kal Tire Place to capacity every single home game to match this number,” states the VFM board of directors. “We are tourism gold and we don’t cost the taxpayer a dime.

Jurisdictions proceed with rail trail process KEVIN PARNELL Black Press
Plans are moving ahead for the first phase of development of the CN Rail Corridor, now owned by the municipalities of Lake Country, Kelowna and Regional District of North Okanagan. Each jurisdiction is being asked to approve the formation of an interjurisdictional development team with representatives from each community to plan and develop the initial improvements required to provide a basic, continuous recreation trail within and between the three jurisdictions. On June 1, the jurisdictions combined to purchase 47 kilometres of discontinued CN Rail corridor for $22 million. A report to Lake Country council
from the inter-jurisdictional acquisition team states there is no plans to develop multi-modal regional transportation infrastructure within the corridor, but instead the plan is to move ahead and try to get a continuous trail in operation. “There is considerable interest among the owner and stakeholder jurisdictions and the public for the timely development and operation of a continuous recreational trail within the corridor,” the report states. “In order to achieve this cooperatively the owner jurisdictions of the corridor wish to establish an interjurisdictional development team to plan and develop the initial improvements required to provide a basic, continuous recreational trail within and between the participating jurisdictions.”
Chief seeks water management RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The Okanagan Indian Band is urging all jurisdictions to come together and ensure sufficient water for the future. Chief Byron Louis recently discussed the valley’s water resource with senior government officials. “We are dealing with a finite resource and we need to look at management,” he said. As a first step, he believes one-size-fitsall policies for the entire province must be scrapped. “We live in individual ecosystems,” he said,
“We are dealing with a finite resource.” — Byron Louis
adding the Okanagan has more in common with adjacent regions and even parts of the U.S. than it does with some areas in B.C. Louis would also like to see increased action to restrict some activities that could threaten the integrity of watersheds, such as the sale of lots along upland lakes.
“Why is Vancouver the only jurisdiction that has adequate protection of watersheds?” he said. Louis is hopeful the message of water protection is being embraced by senior government. “Without water, property values are nil. It seems to be resonating,” he said.

B.C. government funding for tree fruit replant projects in 2016 is now available to help tree fruit growers replant their orchards with high-value, high-quality fruit varieties, and increase the value of their sales. The funding is part of the B.C. government’s $8.4-million, seven-year tree fruit replant program announced in November 2014. The program will result in an estimated 1,500 acres of orchards being replanted by 2021, and about 2,600 jobs each year for the Okanagan. “The funding is available now and it provides employment and business opportunities for B.C. growers while ensuring British Columbians have access to fresh and local foods,” said Norm Letnick, agriculture minister and Kelowna-Lake Country MLA.

There’s a push to help make affordable housing even more affordable. The City of Vernon will ask the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee to waive development cost charges for water and parks for non-profit organizations constructing affordable housing. “We (the city) do waive DCCs for roads and sewers for non-profits and we just want to get the regional district in line,” said Coun. Bob Spiers. Coun. Juliette Cunningham, who is GVAC chairperson, hopes there will be increased financial incentive for non-profit groups to proceed with housing. “When we talk about affordable housing, those kinds of dollars per unit can have an impact on whether a project goes ahead,” she said.

I’m too old for this
ome say that instant messaging and email are destroying our language. The patois of acronyms and emoticons is constantly evolving; text messaging is becoming a digital dialect that only those who use it frequently can understand. Sure, most of us know what some of them mean -- IMHO, BRB, TTFN and LOL -- but there are new ones being coined every day, like IRL, DBEYR, ICYMI and STBY. Then there are the emoticons. Perhaps this is how Chinese characters came to be thousands of years ago: the first one no more than a smiley face at the end of an actual sentence. Why do we need emoticons? How did we get along Jim Mullen without them for all these hundreds of years? It’s been a literary deficiency, no doubt. One can only imagine how much better Shakespeare would have been had he been able to use them. To be, or not to be? That is the question. :-( Et tu, Brute. :[ A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. :-x Alas, poor Yorick. :-( There’s no telling how much emoticons could’ve punched up snoozefests like War and Peace and Oliver Twist. As with most trends, teenagers are the driving force behind many of the new acronyms. But TCPTG (two can play that game). First, WDTWSRAT (when did the world start revolving around teenagers)? WIOOTTDWGTAVFT (Was I out of town the day we got together and voted for that)? No, it wasn’t us, but advertising agencies who decided that teenagers should run the world. Because teens have so much “disposable income,” allegedly. Can you really call the money parents give their children “income?” “A bribe” sounds more like it. Except with a bribe, you expect something in return. It really sounds like it’s PM (pro-
VILLAGE IDIOT
tection money). And what do they mean by “disposable”? SWDMBD (Since when did money become disposable)? When I buy a $600 set of snow tires, it’s not considered disposable, but when a teenager spends $600 on his car’s sound system, it is. Would somebody please explain that? Let’s see. I own a car, I own a house and I spend a ton of money to keep both of them up and running. On top of the mortgage, there’s heat, gas, electric and never-ending maintenance costs. What little change is left over, I waste on little extras like food and medicine. So GWATIMI (guess who advertisers think is more important)? Me or the 13-year-old girl next door? Why is she suddenly an economic powerhouse, while her parents are just some schmucks who live in the same house with her? Here’s why: because she’ll probably drop the phone in the bathtub before the contract runs out, and they’ll just buy her another one. And another one after that. She’ll stop being important the minute she starts spending her own money. Because then she’ll take care of the phone. But guys in advertising ANASATTTA (are not as smart as they think they are). If they were, they wouldn’t spend nearly $2.5 million on a 30-second beer commercial during the Super Bowl. What do they think the football audience is already drinking? HACYNHAASBP (Here’s a conversation you’ll never hear at a Super Bowl party): “Honey, could you get some more milk for me and the guys? No, wait a minute -- what’s this? A beer commercial? Beer! That’s a great idea, beer and football! Anybody else want to try one? I’ve never thought of having a beer while watching a football game before.” I wonder if it wouldn’t be more effective to throw 2.5 million $1 bills out of a blimp over some big city. Not only would the beer company get gobs of publicity, a lot of people who pick up the money MSIOTP (might spend it on their product). Because there’s one emoji everyone understands: $$$.

It’s easy to be cynical about the democratic system as there are plenty of examples of politicians more focused on their own interests than those of their constituents, or bureaucracy run wild. As a result, voter turnout at all levels of government has plummeted over the years. However, apathy and cynicism need to be fought and the best time to do that is Monday during the federal election. First of all, there are people around the world who either can’t vote because of oppressive regimes or they are putting their lives on the line to make a difference. We are extremely fortunate to have a voice in a safe, non-intimidating environment. Second, not all politicians are self-serving. Most are well meaning and do have the interests of their constituents at heart. Via e-mail, a phone call or faceto-face, you can let them know exactly how you feel about an issue. They may ultimately go in a direction you don’t support, but keep in mind that they have to consider the views of more than just you. And the great thing about a democracy is you can continue to speak out and keep their feet to the fire. And thirdly, keep in mind that opinion polls, if they are to be believed, show a tight-two way race for government nationally and a three-way race in many ridings. Instead of sitting on the sidelines, your vote could make the difference. Standing in line to vote Monday could take some time, but how long do you wait in line for a coffee or spend on Facebook? The bottom line is that voting is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your country. Get involved.

INTERNAL SECURITY I am a proud Canadian. And, I am proud of what the last years of Conservative government have done for Canadian stature as a nation. In a nutshell, Bill 51 does little more than modernize our compilation of security-related data by bringing electronic collection into line with those of our allies throughout the western world. It is welcomed by both the RCMP and CSIS. Security is very expensive in this day and age, so we have to be careful with every dollar we spend. It is important that both the RCMP and CSIS work efficiently in this very complicated modern age. Much of what is happening in China, the Middle East and eastern Europe is in many ways unprecedented. Surely, if we are to have more money for foreign aid, we have to spend more wisely on internal security. And besides, gentle reader, just consider the information you post on the net, and social media and think of how much you compromise your own security. Bill Dunsmore
Choose representative wisely
I
challenge the letter from Bobbi Fox, accusing the NDP candidate of inciting disruptive discourse displayed at an all candidates forum. Forums are a necessary part of our democratic process as it allows a diverse group of Canadians to collectively participate in selecting the best candidate to represent their interests in our country through our government. The one local person who will be designated to promote and protect the real life, real time, issues and concerns that either support or remove such things as our right to protest without being branded a terrorist of some kind for trying to protect those things we hold dear. We, as a people, have real concerns about water rights, land rights, food security, seniors' care, health care, education, social services, taxation, the spending of our collective taxation, resource management, science and climate change, our relationship with our fellow earth inhabitants, our
CANADA VOTES! relationship with First Nations peoples, the economy, our relationship with immigration and refugees, trade and commerce and the multiple facets of everyday life. We have the responsibility to choose that representative wisely based on the evidence of care shown for our concerns. It’s a big job. It deserves respect. It also deserves scrutiny. Above all, it demands accountability, honesty and transparency. Each of us is tasked with understanding how decisions made in Ottawa affect our lives and the lives of our fellow citizens. We are tasked with understanding how our government comports itself and represents us on the world stage. It’s important to understand how our foreign policy affects the lives of those who live somewhere else
CAST YOUR BALLOT The two main opposition leaders, Trudeau and Mulcair, think Canada would be much better under their government. Wishful thinking. For instance, how efficient will the stoned employees be on the job? Ask Mr. Trudeau, he sees no problem there. The creation of jobs promised by Mr. Mulcair looks fine, but under his reign, these jobs will be filled by civil servants. These people are very efficient, we know that but they cost us money, simply put. Businesses, big or small and being the real creators of jobs, are not comfortable with the NDP in general. They also won't make too much effort to cooperate in creating employment. We saw it in the 1970s when Dave Barrett, of the NDP, became B.C. premier, and later on with Mike Harcourt. I find it an insult to the majority of Canadians when we are told that we wasted 10 years with the present government, which we elected three times in a row. I find Harper to be honest and competent. His problem is that he is trust-
who might find themselves in dire straits and in fear of their lives from internal strife or overt aggression from outside their country. As I said, it’s a big job. To suggest that the person who is interviewing for this job and representing his or her political party should not receive some unpleasant or disruptive comments or reactions from time to time is to silence the one thing a peaceable people have used effectively to challenge those who seek to govern in this country. Their voice. Their questions. Their displeasure. And yes, even their derision. Respect is a twoway street. While it may be uncomfortable for particular candidates from time to time, it is fair, reasonable and realistic to expect an open public forum will expose something that does not meet
ing too much of his entourage. If re-elected, it will be the time for him to clean house. I've never had much use for people challenging, in a demeaning way, the opponents as much as they are doing now, especially in debates. When someone has the floor, nobody should cut him off, period. Let him finish his point please. Actually, the contestants don't seem to have much respect with one another. People are turned off by their arrogant attitude. Lastly, it would be nice if everyone makes it a personal obligation to go and vote, no matter for whom. There is a certain satisfaction of accomplishment after your cast your ballot. It beats having a dictator longing to eliminate you if you don't agree with him. Simon Perron CLIMATE CHANGE Regarding the statement of Mel Arnold, Conservative candidate, he is “not yet convinced,” that humans are the major cause of climate change, despite the 99 per cent consensus amongst climate scientists worldwide.
with the approval of all participants. They and they alone are responsible for how they react and express themselves. The candidates themselves are responsible for showing up to be held to account, encouraged or dismissed. Voting is the next step in the selection process. Support the candidate you think will represent you with integrity, honesty and accountability. It’s clearly up for debate in this riding as in many others. Your vote is very important and it does matter. I encourage all past and new voters to contact Elections Canada.ca to confirm they are registered to vote. Confirm you have the correct polling division and address. Please read your card very carefully and be prepared with identification to refute any challenges you may encounter at the polls. Glenna Miles
Mr. Arnold’s refusal to accept human-caused climate change as scientific fact is a threat to our economy and our security. Economically, climate change is having serious impacts. Pine bark beetle outbreaks and fires are affecting our forestry, droughts and erratic weather events are affecting our agriculture, and reduced snowpack in the winter, heat waves and haze in the summer, and dwindling fish stocks and wildlife populations are affecting our tourism, including skiing, water sports, fishing and hunting. On the security side, climate change is threatening far more Canadian lives and property than terrorism. Compare the impacts of the Maritime snowstorms, Ontario heat-waves, Alberta floods, and B.C. fires on lives and property to the effects of recent incidents of homegrown terrorism. It is a shame that one of the most serious challenges facing Canadians of our generation is being positioned as a debate. Climate change is not a political issue, but it has become politicized.

“One concern that I’ve had is the old pit that we’ve quietly been looking to be reclaimed for a number of years,” said Coun. Peter McClean. Ted Osborn, project manager, says completion depends on the rate which clean fill is received, and the Rosebush gravel pit won’t be finished before this new project is started. “We are over halfway through filling that,” said Osborn, adding that probably this winter or next year it will be complete. The latest proposal includes transporting gravel and fill through ranch land onto Kalamalka Road and then Highway 6. “There will be somewhere between 50 and 100 truckloads a day,” said Osborn, noting that the winter could see significantly fewer. Concerns over area creeks were also raised. “There’s quite a number of gravel operations that have been near or adjacent to creeks and creating a lot of problems,” said Coun. Richard Enns. But Osborn says they have a plan in place, know the area and are aware of the regulations, such as staying back 30 metres. “We don’t have a lot of runoff in that area because it is so coarse. So I don’t see that as going to be a problem.”
Culvert checks begin Morning Star Staff
The City of Vernon will conduct inspections on bridges and culverts from Oct. 26 to 30. Stantec Consulting Engineers has been hired to complete the project and the goal is to perform condition inspections to assist the city with long term capital improvement planning and asset management.

Vandals targeted at Lavington park JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Vandals are being targeted in Lavington. A history of vandalism at Jeffers Park has prompted the Lavington Community Association to take action. Security cameras are being installed at the park and at the Lavington fire hall in hopes of deterring vandals and catching those who commit in the act. “The issue has been ongoing vandalism and destruction of property out there,” said Michael Baker, Coldstream’s director of infrastructure services, who recently met with the association. “They were looking to have something in place before the fall as most of the vandalism is occurring in the winter when the rink was being used.” NONA needs support A vital lifeline for the growing number of North Okanagan individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder has outgrown its space. The Nor t h Okanagan Neurological Association Child Development Centre hopes to construct a new facility, called the Clubhouse. But funds first need to be raised for the $1.6 million Clubhouse, with hopes of opening the new building in the spring of 2016. “Due to this increasing demand, NONA has outgrown its existing space, an older crowded home in a residential section of the city,” the association states. “A purpose-built facility is now being planned thanks to the recent availability of a property in closer proximity to NONA’s existing Treehouse building and staff.” NONA has been providing service to
“The issue has been ongoing vandalism.” — Michael Baker children and families in the North Okanagan for 40 years. Of the 700 children served each year, 73 per cent are from the Vernon and Coldstream areas. “Now they need our community’s help,” said Mayor Jim Garlick, in a letter of support for the project. Housing stats slow in community Coldstream’s home construction is stalling. The number of housing units to date in 2015 is down from last year. Staff say the lull is
mainly due to there not being any multi-family permits although total permits issued is up by five. “Total construction value for the year is down $4.5 million from the same period last year,” said Bob Bibby, the district’s building official. For September, a total of 12 permits were issued with a total construction value of $576,700. The same month last year also saw 12 permits but with a construction value of $1.9 million.

Snakes shut out Merritt ROGER KNOX
Morning Star Staff
Lots of shots against are fine with Vernon Vipers goalie Andrew Shortridge. The 6-foot-3 product of Eagle River, Alaska made 46 saves to earn his first B.C. Hockey League shutout and first star honours as the Vipers blanked the Merritt Centennials 3-0 Friday night before 1,786 fans at Kal Tire Place. Shortridge has allowed just three goals in his last three starts – all wins – while stopping 118 of 121 shots. “It’s easier to get in a rhythm once you start to get a quick feel for the puck,” said Shortridge, who skated on one leg to the faceoff circle, pumping his stick, to celebrate the shutout. “The boys again did a really good job of pushing everyone to the outside, giving me a one-and-done-type of shot, taking away the second and third opportunities.” The two teams tangled again Saturday in Merritt. Shortridge twice robbed Centennials forward Nick Fidanza with fabulous glove saves, each time waving the glove after at Fidanza as he skated

past, and made arguably his best save of the game during a Merritt five-minute powerplay in the second period. Shortridge slid over and got a pad on a onetimer by sniper Colin Grannary. “We have all the confidence in the world in Andrew,” said Joe Sacco, the game’s third star. “Tonight we gave up a lot of shots against but knowing he’s back there, you have the confidence to go make some of your own plays in the offensive zone. But you still want to be responsible and you still want to win it for him.” After a scoreless first period, Sacco got the game winner at 9:47 of the second when he skated off the end boards and snuck a sharp-angle shot through Merritt goalie Cole Kehler’s pads for his fourth goal of the year. “I noticed he was cheating a little bit,” said Sacco. “Jimmy Lambert was in the slot, I took a quick look and I noticed he was a little off-angle so I just threw it at the net and luckily it went in.” Second star Hunter Zandee and Odeen Tufto added carboncopy third period goals

Zandee banged in a rebound of a Sacco shot for his second of the season at 3:37, and Tufto did likewise from a Steve Jandric shot at 11:24 for his team-leading seventh marker. Merritt pulled Kehler with 2:30 left and had a powerplay in the final minutes, but could not beat Shortridge. The Vipers’ penalty killers threw themselves in front of every shot to help preserve the goose egg. “It was a pretty tense game, especially toward the end,” said Sacco. “They’re a bigger team but I thought our team competed well and made a lot of smart plays. That was the big thing. We made a lot of simple plays.”
Vernon lost forward Riley Brandt in the second period after he pasted Merritt forward Tyler Ward to the boards but was assessed a five-minute charging major and a game misconduct. Ward was slow to get up but did return to the game. Newly signed forward Christian Cakebread’s Vipers debut lasted all of 23 minutes. Cakebread suffered a lower body injury when he fell into the boards at the Vernon bench early in the second period and did not return to the game. He was seen walking out of the arena under his own power, and was expected to see a doctor Saturday. Cakebread, an Arizona product, was
playing on a line with Liam Finlay and Jimmy Lambert, and had several quality scoring chances. He also fed a sweet powerplay pass to Tufto in the slot, Tufto’s shot grazing the far post. For ward Joe Cipollone, a New York native, has left the Vipers to play in the United States, though it’s not known at this time where Cipollone will land. NHL Hall of Fame broadcaster and four-time Stanley Cup champion Howie Meeker dropped the ceremonial puck before the game. Meeker was the guest speaker at Saturday’s Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame induction ceremony. He was joined on
the ice by longtime friend and inductee John Topping, the founder of the Funtastic slo-pitch tournament. Friday’s win vaulted the Vipers (7-6-0-1) into third place in the Interior Division, one point ahead of the West Kelowna Warriors, two ahead of the Cents and one point back of second-place Salmon Arm. The Silverbacks beat West Kelowna 4-3 Friday. The division-leading Penticton Vees won their 11th straight, 5-2 over the visiting Prince George Spruce Kings. The Vipers host West Kelowna Friday and Victoria Grizzlies Saturday at Kal Tire Place.
Vernon’s Jim Cotter feels right at home at the Kamloops Curling Club. It is, after all, where the reigning B.C. men’s champ learned the game. Cotter, a Kamloops native, and his crew of third Ryan Kuhn, second Tyrel Griffith and lead Rick Sawatsky, took on Sean Geall of New Westminster in an A-event qualifier Saturday afternoon at the Hub International Crown of Curling event in Kamloops. Both rinks were 2-0 after winning their draws Friday. Cotter opened with a 12-4 win over Justin Umpherville of Fruitvale. The Vernon rink jumped out to a 7-0 lead after three ends, picking up three with the hammer in the first, and adding steals of two in the second and third. The Kootenay squad got three back in the fourth before Cotter answered with four in the fifth. In the evening draw, Cotter snapped a 1-1 tie with four in the sixth end and a steal of one in the seventh for a 6-1 win over Tyler Tardi of Langley. Tardi was coming off a victory at the Anita Cochrane Memorial Cashspiel at Royal City Curling Club in New Westminster, the inauguaral event of the new B.C. junior curling tour. Geall advanced to the qualifier by downing Tyler Klymchuk of Langley 7-4 and Grant Dezura of Maple Ridge 6-4. The quarterfinals go tonight with the semifinals slated for Monday at 9 a.m., followed by the final at 12:30 p.m. The winner will pocket $7,000. Vernon’s Jamie Sexton is curling in the event with Stephen Schneider of Vancouver. The rink lost their opening draw, 6-3 to Tardi, but bounced back in a B-event game to beat Umpherville 8-3.

Morning Star Staff
A pair of George Stein Memorial Scholarship winners are going coastal and one is staying close to home. Cole Shoemaker, Mara McLaughlin and Hannah Love each received $500 scholarships for contributing to the North Okanagan Youth Soccer Association over the years. Despite all being soccer enthusiasts, none plan on playing soccer at the CIS level. Shoemaker’s hobbies are soccer, soccer and more soccer. He doesn’t play as much as he used to, but now focuses on coaching and refereeing the game he loves. “I would like to think that I am pretty good at it. There’s always going to be people who get mad at you, but I don’t worry about them,” said Shoemaker, who is attending the University of Victoria. “Cole has done really well with his reffing. It’s unusual to see a kid that good at his age,” said NOYSA coordinator Marina Korberg. Shoemaker is studying at UVIC’s Gustavson School of Business, while planning to complete a degree in commerce. “We always look for young people who love and respect the game,” said Stein, who presented the scholarships in honour of his father. “We are honoured to help them with their post-secondary education anyway we can.” Shoemaker played and coached in the Soccer Patch camps and mentors refs. He claims that is an enriching experience. While at UVIC, he won’t

play for the Vikings, but he will share a field with them. “I will be reffing their home games. Actually, I will just be doing the lines, but I aim to be in the middle in a year or two,” said Shoemaker, a Seaton grad who turned 18 in September. Like Sho emaker, McLaughlin is studying at UVIC. “I have a brother that goes there and an older sister that already graduated there, so I have been there to visit a couple of times,” said McLaughlin. “It’s a beautiful campus, I love the ocean and it’s a good distance from here.” McLaughlin won’t suit up for the Vikes, but will play in intramural and rec leagues instead. She was named top all around student at Kal and also received a scholarship from B.C. Soccer. She is taking sciences, but isn’t completely sure
what she wants to do with it yet. McLaughlin has been playing sports since she was four years old. She grew up playing Vernon rep soccer, but played house league this past season so she could focus on her grades. She also has refereed in the past and coached at the Soccer Patch camps. Hannah Love is studying kinesiology at UBCO. She played mainly central midfield and some striker with the Vernon U17/18 rep team last season. Fast and heads-up on the field, Love wishes to improve her aerial ball control while becoming a better all-round player. She’s a soccer fanatic. “I am a big fan of the World Cup both male and female,” said Love, 18. “This year I went to one of the women’s World Cup games in Edmonton and
it was really awesome and exciting to watch live.” Love is grateful for the excellent coaching she has received in the youth program. “I would like to thank John Hughes for all of the commitment he put in to allow us to have such a great rep team for many years; Claire Paterson for all her support and enthusiasm during the Whitecaps Academy and rep sessions and also my dad, Peter Love, who coached my final year playing rep which was so much fun and ended my rep experience on a great year.” Love also enjoys figure skating and running. George Stein, who died in 1996, helped found youth soccer in Vernon some 50 years ago. He and the late Fred Mann were key cogs in the construction of the MacDonald Park clubhouse.
Panthers pull off gutsy gridiron win Morning Star Staff
FILLER PLEASE
No leading scorer. Bodies dropping like the autumn leaves. No problem for the Vernon Panthers. Sean Smith’s squad gutted out a 27-8 victory over the host Valleyview Vikings in Interior Senior Varsity Football League action Friday in Kamloops. Already without their leading scorer Levi Nicholas, and a host of others, the Panthers lost three more two-way starters in the first half and another in the second, which severely tested an already thin squad. The Cats got on the board early, scoring on their first two drives of the game on the legs of quarterback Justin Haverkamp (oneyard and 12-yard runs), and led by six at the break. “The half gave us a chance to regroup, reassign positions and try to get assignments correct,” said Smith. “We were not executing our game plan correctly on defence and the half gave us a chance to get things straight.” The Panthers opened the third quarter with a highlight reel 73-yard catch and run
major by TE Ben Hladik, followed by a gritty 21-yard TD run by Grade 9 tailback Charles Lemay. Holding the Vikings offence to zero passing yards and not allowing them inside the red zone in the second half allowed the Panthers to wind down the clock in the fourth quarter. “Both coach (Dave) Tetrault and I are very proud of the way our guys finished this game,” said Smith. “We were down to our third string Grade 9 quarterback (Thomas Hyett) and fourth string Grade 9 tailback in the fourth quarter, and we continued to move the ball and put points on the board. Our reserves competed and put away the game for us.” Hladik, a Grade 11 defensive standout, showed why CIS scouts are drooling over him, registering eight tackles and two quarterback sacks. Defensive tackle, Tyler Riva contributed seven tackles and rookie Gabe Turner added six. “Tyler Riva had his best game as a
Panther,” said Smith. “Ben is without question the best defensive player I have seen in any of our games this year and Zach Hyer (defensive back/wide receiver) is doing so many things for us to make up for our injury situation.” The Panthers (2-0 in league) enter a much-needed bye week where they hope to get healthy for a first-place showdown with South Kamloops (Oct. 30, 3:30pm at Panther Field). The Fulton Maroons fell 52-7 to the host Hugh Boyd Trojans in an exhibition senior boys match Friday in Richmond. “We were simply outclassed by them in all phases of the game,” said Fulton head coach Mike Scheller. “They are bigger, faster and tougher than us. We could not stop them.” Ethan Eisenhauer scored Fulton’s only major on a 68-yard interception return. Jeff Han booted the convert. Scheller praised the play of JJ Heaton at defensive tackle and Eric Yildiz-David at linebacker.

Making the case for dementia prevention
Submitted to The Morning Star
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure is an old truism with special relevance for Alzheimer’s disease, according to the director of strategy at the Toronto Dementia Research Alliance. “This will be distressing to some people, I know. But I don’t think that a cure is a reasonable expectation,” says Barry Greenberg. “I think a more achievable goal is prevention. Once someone has dementia there is already an advanced stage of brain degeneration.” At that point, all
doctors can do is manage symptoms, points out Greenberg, who is also director of neuroscience drug discovery and development with Toronto’s University Health Network. It takes an estimated 10 to 20 years for dementia to become obvious because the brain’s redundant networks compensate for dying neurons. But if we can identify people in this pre-symptomatic phase, he says, we may be able to treat them with drugs and recommend lifestyle changes that delay or even stop the disease’s progression.
“The irony if that’s true is that there could already be drugs that have failed in the clinic that could have been preventative if they were administered in these pre-symptomatic stages. But we haven’t been able to identify those individuals,” he says. This is why Greenberg is enthusiastic about research into pre-symptomatic markers of risk. That includes genetic mutations, biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid and brain scans that reveal the sticky buildup thought to play a role in the development of Alzheimer’s
disease. It also includes other biomarkers that, if validated, would provide more accessible, inexpensive and non-invasive measures of risk. Researchers – including those at several research centres in Canada – are testing an experimental drug to see if it can stave off cognitive decline in participants who have yet to show symptoms. “The ultimate goal is to prevent it before it ever becomes a clinical manifestation,” says Greenberg. “And that’s something which I think is far more reasonable in the foreseeable future
NexusBC offers computer workshops Morning Star Staff
Computers are now a common way of staying in touch with friends and family and are often the first source for finding information. Yet in our tech-savvy world beginner computer courses are hard to find. Most people get their computer skills by using them at work and school. But for seniors who have not been exposed to computers, taking the first step can be very intimidating. NexusBC Community Resource Centre is offering a series of workshops for those new
to technology who would like to learn the basics of a Windows 10-based computer. “Designed for absolute beginners, this series of workshops starts with out of the box basics,” says Lee Brinkman, one of the seniors services coordinators at NexusBC. “And it is offered in a language that participants will understand.” The first workshop starts with powering up a computer, using the mouse and keyboard and becoming familiar with a computer’s main features. The following workshops explore how to get all your digital files and photos orga-
nized so you can find them again, how to set up an email address to send and receive messages, find information on the Internet and how to access and use Facebook. Workshops run Saturday mornings from Nov. 14 to Dec. 12 in the computer lab at NexusBC where each participant will use a desktop computer. The cost is $25 per workshop or $100 for all five. Seating is limited. Participants can register for the course by visiting NexusBC at #102-3201 30th St. from Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, phone 250-545-0585.

ONTARIO - The heavy door of the wine vault slams behind us, leaving us in the dark. We hear the horrible, cackling laugh of a killer, “Ah,ha,ha,ha,” echoing down the corridor, trailing off in a menacing wail. “You’re all going to die!” Then in a final sinister threat, the fiend promises to be back in exactly 45 minutes to finish the job. There is nothing but darkness and silence, save for the big clock on the wall, counting down the seconds to our demise, “tick-tock, tick-tock.” I throw myself against the door and jiggle the latch – locked. “We’re finished,” I moan in despair. “Doomed. I knew there was something odd about that fellow.” “Dad, it’s a game, he is the owner, get a hold of yourself,” say my sensible kids. Oh yes, I am in Ottawa’s Escape Manor with my wife and four teenage children. It is the city’s newest entertainment rage. Escape Manor

45 minutes or you will meet a tragic end, and, as I am learning, escaping a room here is no easy feat. Tick-tock. We had decided on the wine vault because, I suppose, it has been a longtime dream of my wife to get locked in a wine cellar. In fact, I can’t help but notice that she doesn’t seem to be helping much in the early going. I remind her that

invites groups of two to six people to escape from four different scenarios; our creepy wine vault, a locked prison cell, a corporate office or an asylum. Once locked up and on your own, you have to work together to find clues and solve puzzles that will lead to freedom. It is a bit CSI and part Indiana Jones – not simple, but a whole lot of fun.

it isn’t red wine in the bottles, but the blood of the murderer’s victims. This spurns her into action, and finally progress is being made. I can’t tell you the clues we are uncovering, because that would ruin it for others. Needless to say we are making headway, with logic and method and teamwork, and only a bit of panic, mostly from me. We have unravelled some very perplexing riddles, but always there is the sound of the clock echoing through the room. According to Billy Rogers, one of Escape Manor’s four founders, the new attraction offers a unique experience. “It’s a mystery within a mystery, and everything is in play in the room,” he said. “You’re the main character, involved, instead of watching it from the outside.” T i c k - t o c k . Personally, as the tension builds inside the room, I think I would rather be watching from the outside. The wine vault’s setup is very clever. Just when you think you have something figured out, you’re forced to try again. I guess that is why only 17 per cent of
guests actually manage to escape the rooms on time. This is a great team-building exercise. Unless your group works together, there isn’t any chance of success. The clock ticks down towards zero and in spite of the progress we have made, we struggle with one more puzzle. I think we have lost, but then, like every great thriller, we decipher a final code in the nick of time, allowing us to find a key to unlock the door. We are saved! Is it just me, or does Rogers seem disappointed to see us walk down the hall and into the lobby - free? I guess failure brings people back to try again. I imagine we will return to test the other three rooms, (with more to come, promises Rogers). In Prison Break, you are wrongly accused and locked behind bars on death row. Your last day has come, but the prison guards have gone on break and left the keys to your cell in sight. All you have to do is get to them. The Darkness is a corporate office, where you made a deal with a strange businessman, Lou Cifer, to further your career. Can you find that contract and escape with your soul before the Prince of Darkness returns? The Asylum is a haunted hospital with a mad scientist hiding in the basement. You must escape before the clock ticks to zero, or you could very well become the next human piece in a formaldehyde jar. Escape Manor is spooky, fun and very challenging – but book early for a visit, as it is difficult to get in, and very hard to get back out! James Ross is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

Fall tourism boosts economy Morning Star Staff
It’s time to enjoy what travellers from around the world came to the ThompsonOkanagan for this summer. Local residents are being urged by the provincial government to participate in staycations. “It’s fall, the summer crowds have gone and it’s a great time to enjoy a staycation. It is an opportunity to fall for B.C. and enjoy our amazing province,” said Shirley Bond, jobs minister. “I encourage British Columbians to staycation and visit one of the six diverse regions that make B.C. stand out as a world-class tourism destination.” As an economic driver in the province, tourism employs 132,000 people, almost one in

every 15 jobs in B.C. in 2013. The sector also has more than 19,200 tourism-related businesses and paid out $4.5 billion in wages and salaries to tourism workers in 2013 – an increase of 3.8 per cent over the year before. And according to government statistics, more people are coming to the province. In 2014, 4.65 million international travellers came to B.C. That is a 5.3 per cent increase, and nearly a quar-
ter million more visitors than were welcomed in 2013. As well, so far in 2015, yearto-date visitors are up 8.8 per cent over the same period last year. Here are some activities for a Thompson-Okanagan staycation: Top fall drive: Armstrong drive circle route. Enjoy fall colours, farms and amazing scenery. Drop in and see what fall looks like in the desert at
the Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre, Osoyoos. Enjoy a Mascot Gold Mine Tour in Hedley. Take in the R.J. Haney Heritage Village and Museum in Salmon Arm. Shop and sample wines at Okanagan wineries. Enjoy the Four by Four, tribute to the Beach Boys, Beatles, the Bee-Gees and Motown, Nov. 2 at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. “From cycling and winery tours to beaches, camping and plush resorts, the ThompsonOkanagan has everything you could want in a vacation destination without leaving B.C.,” said Eric Foster, VernonMonashee MLA. “By vacationing close to home you are also strengthening our regional economies.”

Vernon’s Village Green Centre has garnered national recognition. It has been named a silver winner in the marketing category by the International Council of Shopping Centre’s 2015 Canadian Shopping Centre Awards. Village Green Centre’s Give Great this Holiday campaign allowed the centre to convert consumers that mostly shopped for convenience items into holiday and gift-purchasing consumers. The multi-channel campaign included a strategic combination of traditional advertising, digital advertising and sales promotions. The campaign resulted in nearly a four per
cent increase in sales; and as high as 28 per cent increases in gift category sales. Shoppers flocked to the centre to check out their gift-giving options, resulting in a 25 per cent increase in December, a 12 per cent increase during the first two weeks of late night hours and a 36 per cent increase on the weekend prior to Christmas. Professional recognition for this program was given to Darren Robinson, marketing manager, Village Green Centre; Scott Adam, general manager, Village Green Centre; Bonney Rempel regional director of marketing, Bentall Kennedy; Donn Champion, regional director of operations, Bentall Kennedy; and Cindy Papa, president of Mingle Marketing.

“Although our chapter is very young we will have, once the triplex is finished and inhabited, provided four local families with a brand new home which should be manageable budget wise. This means that they, like all home owners will be able to make gains in equity as they live in and enjoy

Fittingly, I think, our motto is Building Homes Building Hope.” The successful applicant families will qualify for a no interest, no down payment mortgage, tailored, time wise, to their means.

October is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Awareness Month, and resources are available in the North Okanagan. The ADHD Across the Ages Taskforce will host the free ADHD Expo Tuesday from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Best Western Vernon Lodge. “The expo focuses on local services and products that can assist those living with ADD and ADHD,” said Shelly Chvala, a taskforce member. “About 28 businesses and services that offer a wide range of resources for children and adults with this disorder will be in attendance. These range from ADHD coaches to health professionals and from educational-support groups to physical activities that can benefit both adults and children with ADD or ADHD.” More than a million Canadians are affected by ADHD. ADHD is a complex and varied condition that manifests in such a wide variety of ways, it becomes difficult for people to describe. People with ADHD can under focus and over focus; they can be overactive or sluggish; they can appear to be super-alert or day-dreamy. ADHD symptoms can also change throughout the lifespan. Additional coexisting disorders such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse and more can also alter the appearance of ADHD.

Flu shots offer protection Morning Star Staff
The Interior Health Authority is gearing up to help protect children, pregnant women, seniors, people with chronic illnesses and others who are most at risk from influenza and its complications. This year’s flu shot offers protection against two influenza A viruses (an H1N1 and an H3N2 virus) and one influenza B virus. For those under 18, the preferred vaccine also protects against an additional B influenza virus. “Influenza reduces the body’s ability to fight illnesses and infections and it can also increase a person’s risk for developing other serious conditions, including viral or bacterial pneumonia,” said Dr. Kamran Golmohammadi, medical health officer. “Getting a flu shot and washing your hands frequently are the two most effective ways to protect yourself and others from influenza and its complications.” The flu shot is free for those at risk of complications from influenza and those in contact with people at risk. This includes: People 65 years and older and their caregivers/household contacts People of any age in residential care facilities Children and adults with chronic health conditions and their household contacts Children and adolescents (6 months to 18 years) with conditions treated for long periods
“Getting a flu shot and washing your hands frequently are the two most effective ways to protect yourself and others.” — Kamran Golmohammadi of time with Aspirin (ASA) and their household contacts Children and adults who are morbidly obese Aboriginal people All children 6-59 months of age Household contacts and caregivers of infants and children 0-59 months of age Pregnant women at any stage of pregnancy
during the influenza season and their household contacts Visitors to hospitals, health centres and residential care facilities People who work with live poultry Health-care and other care providers in facilities and community settings who are capable of transmitting influenza disease
to those at high risk of influenza complications People who provide care or service in potential outbreak settings housing high-risk persons People who provide essential community services (first responders, corrections workers) To find a flu shot clinic or provider near you, watch for local announcements on dates and times in your community, contact your local public health centre or visit the Influenza Clinic Locator (immunizebc. ca/clinics/flu).

The most important meal of the day will help Lumby high school students. The graduating class from Charles Bloom Secondary School will hold a drive-thru breakfast Tuesday, Oct. 27. “This is a major fundraiser for the class, with the proceeds going towards the dry grad event held in May,” said Bill Grahn, one of the organizers. The event runs between 6 and 9 a.m. in the Sheardowns Super A Foods parking lot. “The cost for the breakfast is by donation, and with that you receive a fresh cup of hot coffee, a hot breakfast sandwich and home baking, fruit and yogurt,” sad Grahn. “So whether you’re going to work, coming home from work, or just want to have a healthy, wholesome breakfast, come to Lumby and help support the graduating class of 2016.”

Jeanne (Bickert) Rodrique talks with Joye (Sengotta) Raber at the reunion.
60 classmates celebrate 60 years
Editor’s note: The following was written by members of Vernon High School Class of 1955, which recently celebrated its 60th reunion. Whenever classmate George Parchomchuk (retired RCMP) phones, we are reminded that this Mountie “always gets his man.” He wanted a 60-year high school class reunion and so, ignited by his enthusiasm, the planning began. Seven near-octogenarian grads, all resembling that familiar “the ‘50s” teenage spirit of leadership, gathered in willingness and cooperation: Miyoko (Chiba) Croken, Richard Coomb, Shirley (Nistor) Ogasawara, Lydia (Price) Cumming, Helen (Sasges) Donovan, Joye (Sengotta) Raber and Jean (Ferguson) Wetherill. With e-mails and addresses confirmed, invitations were then sent to all Grade 12 students who attended Vernon High School in 1955. While Helen and Lydia received responses, which were then forwarded to George in Saskatoon, Richard created large pictorial name tags with a weekend agenda attached to the reverse of each. Two large reunions took place in 1981 and 1992, the latter being the last chance to visit the Vernon High School building (Fulton Secondary) in Polson Park before demolition. Our 1955 class held its first ever reunion (50th) in 2005, complete with two
publications of Reconnections 2005, written and published by Helmut Fandrich of Abbotsford (a treasured keepsake with pictorial, biographical updates of each student since 1955). He included teachers, school events, quotes, newspaper articles, valedictorian address, and deceased students. His more than 20 publications can be found in the Greater Vernon Museum and Archives. The decision to extend the event to three days was popular, as many did travel in from afar: Australia, Mexico, California, New York and all parts of Canada. Eliminating music and dancing suited everyone and encouraged people to converse, hear one another, and enjoy the presentations at the microphone. Sept. 4 was the initial gathering at The Pantry restaurant for registration and appetizers, with time for mixing and greeting. Sept. 5 previewed the banquet, set up in the Schubert Centre Emerald Room. Round tables held gigantic martini glass vases with floating candles in blue shimmering water. The attendees were greeted by Helen and Miyoko, giving out booklets of Vernon attractions and a fun “remember when” quiz page. Betty June (Sherba) Gair brought cards to be signed by classmates with wishes for good health to some who were not able to attend, as well as large fabric tote bags for

Classmate Harry Costerton and Miyoko’s cousin Janice Ogata kept busy taking candid pictures as the evening went on. Historical highlights of the reunion were more than 40 creative displays around the room, and on easels provided by Richard through the Vernon Community Arts Centre. Shirley (Nistor) Ogasawara and Joye (Sengotta) Raber devoted months to collecting photos and memorabilia from Vernon businesses and other sources, showing local buildings, homes, schools, early years, teachers, pupils and yearbooks. The walls and easels were a collective kaleidoscope of history, and resembled a gigantic wraparound scrapbook, placed on stunning blue backgrounds. The Vernon public dropped by all afternoon to view the remarkable displays, with which Joye, Miyoko, Janice and Jean assisted, and transport done by Joye’s husband Howard and Shirley’s son Dwayne. A lovely served dinner was followed by George calling speakers up to the mike, segueing with humourous and nostalgic remarks. A former favourite classmate, 1955 valedictorian Jerry Jellison, sent his address from Calgary. It captured us in a special sentimental listening silence, remembering a younger Jerry in better health. The reunion was happily added to with several classmates joining the festivities after all, with their reason being consistent: “George phoned!” Sunday saw the conclusion of the reunion at O’Keefe Ranch with a brunch and open mike at the Cattlemen’s Club restaurant. The fine Okanagan weather added further enjoyment to an afternoon visit at the BX Press
Cidery and Orchard for a tour and tasting, compliments of classmates John and Walter Dobernigg, and their families, who now manage the business. We had 80 people celebrating our 60 years: some a portion of the 123 grads and other VHS classmates, and others guests and spouses. To date, 58 classmates have passed away (a special scroll held their names on display). Asking if all this effort for the reunion was worth it, the response echoed over and over was: “when George phones, you know it will be worth it.” This reunion held a sincere memory: a strength of welcome, somewhat different to 2005, which was a slightly shy meeting for many, coming back together after 50 years. Now, only 10 years later, familiarity was felt; the wrinkles and hair shades less jarring. The lapse of time was brief, and here we were, together again. It was a warm homecoming, to reconnect once more. Farewell words on Sunday were fitting: “Please drive home with care and attention, and look in the rearview mirror often; George is watching!” The planning team was tops! Extra sincere thanks with great appreciation goes to valued grad friends: George, Helen and Shirley. Under Helen’s financial wizardry, donations have been possible to the Vernon Arts Centre, the First Baptist Church, the Vernon Museum, the Schubert Centre, the Pantry Restaurant, and O’Keefe Ranch. A very special VHS thanks to Tom Burgess, Dale Flowers and Jack Gareb. We were appreciative and proud of your interest and high standards, which added to the enjoyment of the event.

Menopause is manageable Author gives talk on everything women and girls need to know about hormones LISA VANDERVELDE Morning Star Staff
This may be the last time Vernonites will have a chance to hear one of Canada’s most well-known experts on women’s hormones. If you are a teenager suffering with heavy periods and acne, in your 30s struggling with infertility, or constantly dealing with hot flashes and the other joys that come with menopause, these are all topics Lorna Vanderhaeghe will cover in her talk, “Everything you need to know about hormones.” Her free lecture is presented by Simply Delicious on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. at the Schubert Centre, and people are encouraged to arrive early to get a seat.
PHOTO SUBMITTED
Lorna Vanderhaeghe is at the Schubert Centre Wednesday to help women learn how they can naturally balance their hormones. Vanderhaeghe has been studying natural health for 35 years, has her master’s in nutrition, a degree in biochemistry, and has been studying hormones and women’s health for 17 years. “I am basically teaching women where their hormones are coming from and how they affect many of the health conditions they may have,” said Vanderharghe. The author of 13 books is going to be scaling back on her
traveling for speaking engagements to focus on her writing and do more of her lectures in a webinar format. One of the points she wants to get across in her presentation is that the younger you learn about your hormones, the sooner they can be controlled in a natural way. “If you are a teenager with period problems, that is one of the first signs of a hormone imbalance,” said Vanderharghe. She will also discuss how she believes hormone imbalance contributes to the statistic that one in six women have fertility problems. “Doctors are using birth control pills as Band-aids for problems we shouldn’t be using birth control pills for,” she said. Other topics she will cover are hormones and how they affect our skin, and how they cause weight gain. “Any woman from the age of 12 until she dies can benefit. I will discuss how to naturally get your hormones back in balance without using synthetics.”

Most of the staff under George Falconer and Bill Seaton Sr. were quite young and dedicated, but all taught well and inspired this small inaugural Grade 7 to 9 group, before entering VHS (Grades 10 to 13).

Poet wakes up to words at Caetani Morning Star Staff
Poet Moez Surani is not wet behind the ears when it comes to weaving words, but he did once embark on a rather watery journey. In 2012, he joined four other fellow Canadian poets and a folk singer to paddle down Southeastern Ontario’s Grand River as part of the country’s only canoe-led literary tour. Entitled the Fish Quill Poetry Boat, the tour saw the participants paddling and portaging on route to rural communities along the shore, where they gave readings and performances. Along for the journey was local poet and Okanagan College Vernon campus English professor Kevin McPherson, who bonded with Surani on the trip, and has continued to collaborate with him since. That relationship continues as Surani is currently in Vernon as part of the writer residency program organized by Kalamalka Press, where McPherson serves as editor in chief. “This is Kalamalka Press’ first year partnering with the Caetani Culture Centre for the residency, and so far it seems brilliant,” said McPherson. Previously held at the Mackie Lake House, the new residency is now one month long, up from two weeks, which gives the writers more time to work on their projects,

Poet and performance artist Moez Surani is at the Caetani Cultural Centre this month as Kalamalka Press’ writer-in-residence. and also gives them time to better interact with the community. “In fact, Moez likes it here so much (so far) that he’s extended his stay by two weeks,” said McPherson. Surani has a bachelor’s of arts in biology, English and literature from Queens University in Kingston, Ont. He earned a master’s from Montreal’s Concordia
University in English language, literature and creative writing. Following these degrees, he travelled and worked abroad. His writing has been published in journals and anthologies across Europe and North America. His first poetry collection, Reticent Bodies, was published in 2009. That same year, Surani won a Chalmers
Arts Fellowship that supported a research stint to India and East Africa. He walked the Camino de Santiago across Spain and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and attended artists residencies in Italy, Finland, Latvia, Switzerland and Taiwan. In 2012, he published his second poetry collection, Floating Life, which was praised for its stunning, simple images. Surani is now working on collaborations and on interdisciplinary art and performance art pieces. “He’s done performance art with the Elephants Collective in Toronto, his hometown, and is currently working on a collaborative installation that requires the services of a perfumer in Texas,” said McPherson. During his time at the Caetani house, Surani will be working on his forthcoming book, Operación Opération Operation Oперация, to be published in the spring by Toronto’s Book Thug. As part of his residency, Surani is giving a public reading at Vernon’s Gallery Vertigo (Suite #1, 3001-31st St.) Thursday. The event is free and doors open at 7 p.m. with the reading at 7:30 p.m. Surani is also giving a poetry workshop at the Vernon branch of the Okanagan Regional Library Nov. 7 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
Field of Screams will have you running for cover ence and their screams will be indicative of that theory.” This year’s concept of an alien invasion came at the beginning of 2015 when the design team started working on ideas. O’Keefe and the Field of Screams team enlisted professionals from the film industry to help make the concept a reality. “By adding more calibre to our creative team, we added quite a bit more calibre to the event itself,” said Brown. Last year’s model of two corn mazes is also being repeated this year. Both mazes are different, but follow the same alien idea.

O’Keefe Ranch is at it again and this time it’s under attack from another world. Rest assured that with the military and special ops on site, Field of Screams: The Harvest is sure to be another huge success and scare fest. “Halloween is my favourite time of year and the challenge of creating an event that is supposed to scare a mass amount of people for seven nights straight is a challenge I don’t take lightly,” said creative director Matt Brown. “I want this to be truly terrifying. I’m pretty sure that we’ll hit that. The audi-
“Last year, we were able to have more people go through the event simultaneously and have less wait in the lineups while offering people not only door one or door two, but also the chance to try both with completely different experiences from each door,” said Glen Taylor, ranch manager. “This year, we’ve added some neat surprises that I think our patrons will be blown away by.” Field of Screams: The Harvest runs at O’Keefe Ranch Oct. 22, 23, 24, 27, 28, 29 and phoTo subMiTTed 30. Tickets are available at the door and are $10. The lineup Troops prepare for an alien invasion during Field of Screams: The Harvest at O’Keefe Ranch Oct. 22, starts at 6 p.m. 23, 24, 27, 28, 29 and 30.

Okanagan Artists of Canada members Sharon Isaaks, left, Ria Carpay, Jo-Ann Rasmussen, Margaret McSweeney, Clarice Jury and Gail Hall hold some of their artwork that will be shown at the OAC annual show and sale at Paddlewheel Park Hall Sunday, Oct. 25.
Okanagan artists keep art affordable Morning Star Staff
Original art doesn’t have to expensive to be owned. That is the case with the Okanagan Artists of Canada (OAC) annual art show and sale at Paddlewheel Park Hall. The show is unique in that along with paintings of all media, style and genre, each artist will have paintings available for $100 or less to fit everyone’s budget. “Everything is in place and artists have been busy in their studios creating beautiful creations for the public to view or buy for their
homes,” said OAC member Jo-Ann Rasmussen. This year, the OAC is also accepting monetary donations for the Vernon food bank. “As a thank you for your generosity, we will be raffling an original painting from one of our talented artists,” said Rasmussen. “We hope you will come out and meet your local artists and enjoy a day of art and friendship.” The OAC art show and sale takes place at the Paddlewheel Hall, on Okanagan Landing Road, Sunday, Oct. 25 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Theatre stages Robin Hood pantomime
Armstrong’s awardwinning Asparagus Community Theatre takes the stage in December with Robin Hood and His Merry Men. Written by U.K. authors Robin Bailes and Jonathan Hales, this wild romp through Sherwood Forest is told in the tradition of British pantomime, and will feature hilarity, audience participation, cross-dressing, and lyrical good fun. “This stage production is going to be absolutely hilarious: Imagine Robin Hood meets Monty Python. In a dress,” said director Sheryl Hamilton. Robin Hood & His Merry Men has a large, local cast and crew featuring the seasoned talents of Shaleen Toney (Robin Hood), Mark Trussell (Sheriff of Nottingham) and Phelan Gotto (Prince John), as well as many new and returning faces. The show runs from Dec. 3 to 5 and 10 to 12 at 7:30 p.m., with matinees on Saturdays at 1 p.m. All shows are at Centennial Theatre, 3305 Pleasant Valley Blvd., Armstrong. Tickets are available through The Guy Next Door, 3450 Okanagan St., 250-546-0950. Adults are $18, seniors/students $15, and children $10.

A reminder to pregnant women: it’s OK to have a flu shot during pregnancy. In fact it will be of benefit to you and your baby. The baby will be larger, therefore healthier and will also have protective antibodies against flu for six months after birth. Two good reasons to immunize against flu while pregnant. •••••••• Remembering to take medication can be a problem for some people. Here’s a good idea: associate taking your medication with something you do at the same time every day. It could be brushing your teeth or shaving. Link the activity with the taking of your medication and it will soon become part of your daily routine. •••••••• Parkinson’s Disease is not curable but in June of this year, in the U.S., an implantable deep brain stimulation device was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is designed to help reduce the symptoms and the tremors associated with the disease. Wires from a pulse generator leads to certain areas in the brain so the patient can control tremors as needed. •••••••• Older readers may remember their parents giving them blackstrap molasses when they were kids. It was supposed to be good for us. It actually contains 3.6 mg of iron per tablespoon and like Popeye, more iron made us stronger and healthier. •••••••• For questions about iron or any vitamin or mineral supplements, talk to our pharmacists.

It started out as a conversation between some friends in the Lake Country arts community. And it ended up as a positive message of acceptance in the form of guerilla art. Artist Wanda Lock
and some friends, colleagues and passersby got together and painted a sidewalk in a movement to promote acceptance for all. “It was a conversation I was having with many people in Lake Country,” said Lock. “We thought it would be nice if Lake
Country could do something to recognize acceptance and make a statement that we are inclusive and accept diversity.” The rainbow coloured sidewalk painting — which Lock called You, Me, We, A Pride Painting Project — mirrors the rainbow colours that have signified acceptance of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender community.
“The response I have been getting has been fantastic,” said Lock. “Even from people I don’t even know. This was kind of a pilot project so if we could do it in the spring and maybe do the entire sidewalk I think the community would be behind it.” Lock said the idea came from movements from other city’s such as Kelowna, which has four rainbow coloured crosswalks to promote acceptance. The painted sidewalk is in front of George Elliot Secondary and was painted using exterior paint, meaning it won’t be permanent.
But Lock is hoping to make it more permanent in the future. “This was kind of guerilla art,” she said. “If we do this in the spring, maybe we can do something proper. As artists in our community i think that is part of our responsibility, to get out there and make a statement.” Lock was helped in the project by Petrina McNeil, Yolanda Robinson, Megan Ross, Rick Davidson, Neena Sood, Elizabeth Henderson, Tara Milne and Jamie McEwan, all from Lake Country and special guest artist from Kelowna, Rena Warren.

Hyena Road
n addition to rooting out the Taliban, Canadian soldiers in Kandahar, Afghanistan are also assigned projects, such as the proposed construction of Hyena Road. In order to build the road, they will need the cooperation of opium plantations. In a war zone where Taylor and Howe you might have to ally yourself with criminals, the moral ambiguity of warfare becomes further muddied. Ancient tribal animosity, dogmatic customs and ordinary human fear mix into hot Afghanistan soil, as it always has, but modern war is different. We say, “It’s Canadian Sniper.” TAYLOR: It’s not a bad thing to be compared to American Sniper, not on any moral or political grounds, just as a movie. Hyena Road is an exciting, occasionally moving story, a bit of a statement, a bit of revelation and a whole lot of the same ol’ thing. It’s very glossy, like an expensive Hollywood movie. It carries with it the exact same baggage as its main characters, which is to say a lot and atypically: Ryan (Rossif “the other” Sutherland) is a sniper who believes one bullet can make a difference. Pete (Paul Gross) is the unhappy but sympathetic intel officer, making deals with criminals on CIA payrolls. In many ways, Hyena Road is a series of clichés, as if Gross (who wrote and directed the film) was solely imitating Hollywood. Unfortunately, this is just the tip of the iceberg of things I found wrong with this film. Oddly, at

Reel Reviews
Rossif Sutherland and Paul Gross are Canadian soldiers in Hyena Road. the end of my ramblings, I’m still going to recommend you see it. HOWE: First the good: Hyena Road is a very interesting and well put together movie. I felt it was better than American Sniper just because it’s not all flag waving, “look as us, we are the best,” etc. It has a gritty, real feel to it and to Gross credit has to be given. On the other hand, I felt it could have been even better with the use of better actors. I didn’t know that the guy that played Ryan was a Sutherland; coming from such a family of talented actors I would expect better from him. I thought he was the worst of the bunch of bad acting on the set, and if you put Mr. Gross in a white suit and cowboy hat, he could have been Col. Sanders. TAYLOR: Exactly. So what province did our two main characters grow up in, because neither of them sounded anything other than American? I admit, perhaps

such concerns are splitting hairs. It only helps solidify my theory that Gross is simply emulating Hollywood, right down to the pointless attempts to humanize the characters with sappy plot points that do nothing but telegraph outcomes. There are two things that save Hyena Road: the research that went into the backdrop and “the locals.” The two main allies in the film, “The Cleaner” Nabil Elouahabi and “The Ghost” Neamat Arghandabi deliver the strongest performances: the former as a bit of comic relief and the latter with a serious intensity. HOWE: I agree that people should go see this. It is one of our nation’s stories, made by a Canadian for Canadians. It’s not all glitzy and razzmatazz like its U.S. counterparts. – Taylor gives Hyena Road 2.5 Timbits out of 5. – Howe gives it 3.5 clean windows out of 5.

CANADA VOTES 20 15!
Candidates make final plea Mel Arnold – The number one issue is - maintaining a strong economy while growing jobs and keeping Canadians safe. Regardless of the age or the background, this is the mantra I hear in coffee shops, on doorsteps and in the street. We have and will continue to balance the budget; we have and will continue to grow jobs through our pledge to small business regarding the reduction of red tape, reduction of taxes, and our tax incentives. Our support of students, training, and apprenticeship programs will ensure that Canada has a skilled Canadian workforce ready for Canadian jobs. We have just signed on to the Trans Pacific Partnership, which will provide 800 million new customers for Canadian businesses. Since one in every five Canadian jobs depends on exports, I have no doubt we Mel Arnold will reach our goal of 1.3 million new jobs by 2020. The mandate of a member of Parliament is to represent all constituents in a riding, regardless of their financial standing, the organizations to which they belong, their background or their needs. I will be that person who champions on behalf of every member of this riding. For fairness and accountability, vote Mel Arnold Oct. 19. Cindy Derkaz – The major issues for us in the North Okanagan-Shuswap are the economy and jobs. This election is a choice between jobs and growth or austerity and cuts. We all understand the real needs our communities face around job creation and keeping our young people gainfully employed in our communities. The Liberal plan will nearly double federal infrastructure investment to almost $125 billion – from the current $65 billion – over the next decade. Cindy Derkaz This will address the issues we face by providing dedicated funding for social infrastructure, prioritizing affordable housing and seniors facilities, early learning and child care, and cultural or recreational facilities; n Helping build more housing units, refurbishing existing ones, renewing existing co-operative agreements, and providing funding support for municipalities. n Providing dedicated funding to invest in local water and wastewater facilities, climate resilient infrastructure and clean energy projects. As a country, we must build ambitiously once again if we want to modernize our transportation systems, create affordable housing, and adapt to
climate change. I will be a strong advocate for the residents of North Okanagan-Shuswap. The Liberal Party is rising in the polls. Voters need to decide whether they want to elect a member of government caucus or opposition. Chris George – The number one issue for North Okanagan-Shuswap voters is leadership. We have seen and heard the representatives of the mainstream parties here in our ridChris George ing. They all speak of what their leaders will do, as if it were the leader that matters most. There may be something to that perspective, given the concentration of power in the Prime Minister’s Office over the past 30 years. But choosing a leader or choosing a party is not what Canadian federal elections are about. They are about choosing a representative, someone to serve all of the people of the riding by bringing their concerns to Ottawa. Pushing back against party discipline is not something that any of the other candidates can be realistically expected to do, and it is something that is often required when it comes to making good decisions. North Okanagan-Shuswap doesn’t need another compliant back bencher. We need a maverick, someone with gumption who is unafraid of party and leader to truly represent the diverse interests of this riding. By choosing to not whip their candidates or their MPs, the Green Party shows that they trust my judgement. I ask that you extend me that trust as well. I will not disappoint you. Jacqui Gingras – I have a vision that is shared by many Canadians. On the doorstep, of course, people ask me about jobs, health care, and the environment. But there is something much more significant at play for Canadians. Our vision for Canada resides in respect for democracy, our historical status as peacekeepers on the world stage, our understanding that we share this small planet with billions of others, all that must be nurtured and protected. Despite the last nine years of the Conservative government which has eroded the health and protection of the environment and the people who live in it, I remain remarkably optimistic. We know that we have a choice about the Jacqui Gingras future of our country. At our core, we know that there is still hope for a better Canada. The spirit of this campaign lies in my desire to connect with you, to let you know that you are being heard, and that your voice matters.

Bridge by Phillip Alder TO OVERRUFF OR NOT TO OVERRUFF Emily Oster, an economist and author of “SuperFreakonomics,” said, “Adhering to budgeting rules shouldn’t trump good decision-making.” At the bridge table, adhering to contractmaking rules shouldn’t trump good play-making. This week, we have seen declarer in a position to try to win a trick by ruffing or overruffing. Here is one last example. South is in four hearts. West leads the diamond nine. East wins with his ace, cashes the diamond king, and continues with the diamond jack, which West ruffs with the heart six. Should South overruff in the dummy or not?
In the auction, South’s double followed by the twoheart rebid shows a Big Double: some 18-20 highcard points and at least five hearts. So North has enough to jump to game. Note East’s abnormal play in diamonds, which was sending a suit-preference signal for spades to his partner. Declarer seems to have 10 easy winners: one spade, five hearts and four clubs. And an overruff at trick three could provide an overtrick. But with the blocked club suit, South is in potential danger if the defender long in trumps is also short in clubs. No doubt you saw that South’s safest play is not to overruff in the dummy at trick three. Instead, he
discards a spade. Declarer wins the next trick with his spade ace, draws two rounds of trumps, cashes his clubs, plays a heart to dummy’s ace, and takes the two club winners for his contract. With this layout, if South greedily overruffs at trick three, he will go down.

Mom and Dad immigrated with their three young sons to Canada in 1958. In Canada, the family continued to grow with the addition of three daughters and two sons. Mom was passionate in her faith in Christ and took great joy in sharing it with others. After the sudden death of her husband she went back to school to attend Bible College. She further busied herself by volunteering at Crisis Line and Bible for Mission’s thrift store. She fulfilled her life-long dream of travelling to Israel to experience biblical history. Mom’s greatest pleasure was spending time with her big family, nineteen grandchildren, twenty-two great grandchildren and several step grandchildren.

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. His loss is also mourned by his companion Cherie Watson and her daughter Sarah. 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.

Sidney John “Roy” Herrling ROY’S TIRE SERVICE Ltd.
It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Sidney John Roy Herrling on Wednesday, October 14th, 2015. Dad was born in Chilliwack B.C. on May 4th, 1932 and grew up in the Laidlaw area. He graduated from Hope High School (apparently voted most unlikely to succeed) little did they know! He had several different jobs throughout his early life, one of those being, a faller in a logging camp where he suffered a severe head injury and remained in the hospital for several weeks. While on a trip to the Okanagan to visit his sister, he met and became friends with his future brother-in-law who in turn led him to Dawn, his wife of 61 years. During this time he found employment at Vernon Box & Pine, then Hemming Tire in Kamloops, then back to Vernon where he worked at Hemming Tire for many years. Mom and Dad eventually decided to go it on their own and went into business as “Roy’s Tire Service” in the early 70’s. “Big Roy” as he was affectionately named put his heart and soul into that business and it was indeed a huge success! Roy was such a warm and compassionate man, he cared deeply for all his many loyal customers. He was always so proud that he was an “Independent Tire store” and was also deeply proud that his son Mike worked with him at the shop. He was even more proud when grandson Dave also joined them at Roy’s Tire! Sadly in 2001, while at work, Dad suffered a life altering stroke which made it necessary to sell the business to his dreaded competitor Kal Tire! Mom cared for Dad at home for 12 years until his needs became too great. His new home than became Polson Residential Care where he remained until his passing. Mom continued to visit Dad, each and every day, always bringing him some treat to go with their afternoon tea. Dad so loved his grandchildren and great grandchildren and they, in turn, were lucky to have had the opportunity of knowing their great Granddad! Dad is survived by his loving wife Dawn, son Mike (Brenda) Herrling, daughter Deb (Gary) Keenan. Further survived by grandchildren Dave (Theresa) Herrling of Williams Lake, Kim (Kurt) Zimmermann of Vernon, Cheri Keenan of Port Moody, Trevor (Angie) Keenan of Vernon, Haley (Ty) Elliott of Nanton, Alberta. Also by his prized great grandchildren: Aidan and Emma Herrling, Kayla and Kameron Zimmermann, Jaiden Keenan, Tori and Trent Keenan and Carter and Raena Elliott. Dad is further survived by his sister,Verda (Les) Wick, brother, Harry (Diane) Herrling, sisters-in-law Joan Fox, Joan Ogilvie and Pam Ogilvie. Predeceased by parents Sid & Ruth Herrling, sisters Louise, Gladys, infant sister Mary and Iris, brothers-in-law, Charlie Bonsan and Wally Britch, Also, predeceased by Mom’s parents, George & Gwen Ogilvie, brothers-in law Bill Ogilvie, Bruce Ogilvie & Jack Fox. Funeral Service will be at the Pleasant Valley Funeral Home, Saturday October 24th, 2015 at 1:00 P.M. Refreshments and light lunch to follow. Flowers respectfully declined. Should you wish please donate to the charity of your choice.

Impaired laws upheld Fall Into Savings JEFF NAGEL
Canada’s top court has upheld B.C.’s tough system of roadside penalties for impaired drivers, including vehicle impoundments, stiff fines and immediate licence suspensions of up to 90 days. The Supreme Court of Canada handed down twin judgments Friday that back key elements of the provincial government’s policy after it was challenged by motorists. Justices said there was “no doubt” automatic roadside prohibitions are within the province’s jurisdiction and a valid regulatory measure. They rejected the argument of opponents that the penalties effectively create an offence that requires a right to a fair trial, not an instant decision by police after a failed blood-alcohol reading on a portable device. The court found the province’s “pressing and substantial” goal of enacting the scheme “was not to oust the criminal law, but rather to prevent death and serious injury on public roads by removing drunk drivers and deterring impaired driving.” Roadside penalties have largely supplanted criminal investigations and prosecutions for impaired driving in B.C. The amount of time and money expended on drunk driving cases in the courts and by police is down because of the nearly 70 per cent drop in impaired charges. Police still pursue criminal charges in cases of injury or death due to drunk driving. Defence lawyers have criticized the immediate roadside prohibitions as a de facto decriminalization of most cases of impaired driving. Although drivers who are caught and punished at roadside face stiff sanctions, they do not usually risk an impaired driving conviction and criminal record.
Also at issue before the courts was the constitutionality of the compulsory demand to provide a breath sample or face roadside penalties. A majority of Supreme Court justices said the original 2010 provision did violate the Charter of Rights protection against unlawful search and seizure. The province amended its law in 2012 to allow drivers who fail a roadside breath test to take a second test – the lowest of the two readings is used – and created a process for them to appeal driving prohibitions. “Our belief is that the amendments our government made in June 2012 already address the constitutional issues noted in the court’s decision,” B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said. It’s not yet clear if drivers penalized in the
first two years of the program could be compensated. Anton welcomed the ruling, adding immediate roadside prohibitions have saved an estimated 260 lives over the past five years.
Anton said the province intends to “continue to have one of the toughest drinking driving laws in the country and to continue to protect public safety by getting these drivers off our roads.”
