Liberal sweep fails to move blue RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan-Shuswap has retained Tory blue while Liberal red has coloured the rest of the country. Newcomer Mel Arnold handily captured the riding as Conservative candidate Monday, winning 27,490 votes or 39.3 per cent. That was followed by Liberal Cindy Derkaz at 20,951 or 30 per cent, Jacqui Gingras, with the NDP, at 17,903 or 25.6 per cent, and Green Chris George at 3,609 or 5.2 per cent. “This is terrific,” said Arnold, a Salmon Arm businessman who takes over from retiring Colin Mayes. “It’s been a hard fought battle, I want to congratulate all the candidates. And no matter how they voted, I’m here to represent this riding.” With the Conservatives in opposition nationally, Arnold will be in the backbenches. “It will make us work a little bit harder,” he said, noting that he will lobby the new Liberal government for funding for local projects. “And I will be available to the public as soon as we have our doors open to the office.” Nationally, the Liberals won 184 seats compared to 99 for the Conservatives, 44 for the NDP, 10 seats for the Bloc Quebecois and one Green. Derkaz welcomes her second-place finish in North Okanagan-Shuswap. “I would have liked to have won but it was amazing,” said the retired lawyer. While some opinion polls had the NDP taking North Okanagan-Shuswap,

Former MP Colin Mayes passes the baton to Mel Arnold as he is declared winner for the North Okanagan-Shuswap Monday evening at Arnold’s Vernon campaign office. For a video of the local Conservatives’ reaction to the collapse of their government, visit www.vernonmorningstar.com Derkaz believes many residents saw the Liberals as the best route to challenge the Conservatives.
“People had a huge attitude for change from the Harper government,” she said. In terms of the Liberal victory nation-
ally, Derkaz said, “It’s a tremendously clear message that we want change as a country and we picked the Liberals to put that change into effect.” Gingras, a university professor, admits she was disappointed by the election results. “They’re not what I hoped for but I respect their choice,” she said of voters. “It’s been a very positive campaign and I met so many great people.” Gingras wouldn’t speculate on why the NDP didn’t win locally. “That’s something we will have to dwell on. I respect the decision of community members and this is only the start for us.” She isn’t sure why the party went from official opposition status nationally to third place. “Like any campaign, there are ebbs and flows. People were motivated to have Harper out,” she said. George anticipated a fourth-place finish for the Greens in North OkanaganShuswap. “There are no surprises here. We’re looking ahead to the next time out,” he said. “I would have preferred a minority government nationally because it’s good for Canadians. It (Liberals) is going to be a change but whether it’s the change we’re looking for, that remains to be seen.” George believes Arnold’s new term as MP could be challenging. “He will be a backbencher and that doesn’t contribute much to the conversation.” In North Okanagan-Shuswap, 69,953 of 96,243 registered electors cast ballots or 72.68 per cent (that does not include electors who registered on election day).
Collapse of Tory government disappoints JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Tensions were high in Conservative Mel Arnold’s campaign office Monday evening as a sea of red swept Canada. “It disappoints me of course, I would’ve liked to have seen a stronger showing from my counterparts in the east,” said Arnold, the North Okanagan-Shuswap’s new MP. With Stephen Harper stepping down, a new Conservative leader will be sought. “It’s his decision to make and the party will make a decision on who the new leader is and what direction we will take,” said Arnold. It was an emotional evening in the Vernon campaign office as local Conservatives watched the Liberals take over
“Obviously people wanted change.” — Colin Mayes, retiring MP federally. “I’m disappointed nationally,” said Darrel Stinson, a veteran MP locally. “But we did our job here in the constituency.” Although the results surprised Stinson he was “not terribly shocked.” Retiring MP Colin Mayes had a few tugs on his heart-
strings as he watched the results roll in. “I’ve seen a number of my colleagues that I worked with that didn’t get re-elected and I’m sad for them,” said Mayes, as his government collapsed. “I feel we did a good job as a government and obviously people wanted a change.” Mayes was a little taken aback to see the crush of orange. “I think the biggest surprise is the collapse of the NDP support, they were front runners and then all of a sudden people realized.” Although red swept the country, Mayes sees some common ground between the two leading parties. “We have different views the Conservatives and Liberals, but ultimately we agree on one thing: we don’t want socialism in this country.”

Local Liberal ‘thrilled’ ROGER KNOX Black Press
ROGER KNOX/MORNING STAR
North Okanagan Shuswap riding Liberal candidate Cindy Derkaz, along with supporter Ritchie Leslie, reacts to the news nationally that her party will be forming a majority government following Monday’s election results.
The Liberal victory didn’t include North Okanagan-Shuswap, but local party members are riding the wave. Candidate Cindy Derkaz placed second behind Conservative Mel Arnold in the riding, but she is embracing the Liberals’ historic shift from third-place to majority government Monday. “I’m thrilled. I know the country was ready for a change and it’s a great night to be a Liberal,” she said from her Vernon campaign office. “It’s a tremendously clear message that we want change as a country and we picked the Liberals to put that change into effect.” Nationally, the Liberals won 184 seats compared to 99 for the Conservatives, 44 for the NDP, 10 seats for the Bloc Quebecois and one Green. While other parties questioned Justin Trudeau’s ability to be prime minister, Derkaz says they will be proven wrong as Trudeau takes the reins of
power. “I always thought Justin was ready, that’s why I threw my life into chaos. He’s an amazing leader,” she said. “He’s so inclusive and collaborative and I think that bodes very well. Everybody that will be in caucus will have a voice at that table, I’m confident of that.” While Derkaz was initially in third place in the opinion polls, she overtook NDP challenger Jacqui Gingras, but could not catch the momentum of Conservative Mel Arnold. “You cannot rely on small (polling) samples at a regional level as a prediction of an outcome,” she said of those polls that showed the NDP in first and the Liberals third locally. On election night, Arnold received 27,490 votes or 39.3 per cent. That was followed by Derkaz at 20,951 or 30 per cent, Gingras at 17,903 or 25.6 per cent, and Green Chris George at 3,609 or 5.2 per cent.

Election results crush New Democratic Party RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The orange wave was crushed. North Okanagan-Shuswap New Democrats were dismayed as the party’s coveted official opposition status nationally crumbled in Monday’s election. “It’s a bit disappointing,” said supporter Andrew Stuckey as he watched the numbers on a giant TV screen. “My expectation was the Liberals would do well and take votes from the Conservatives. I thought NDP support was solid.” Stuckey partly blames the NDP’s downfall on the Conservatives’ focus on the niqab leader and Tom Mulcair’s defense of a woman’s right to cover her face. “This was Harper’s last laugh on the NDP. Often when you stand on conscience, you fall.” Party supporter Bob McInnis says voters obviously put their faith in the Liberals over the NDP. Power Windows & Locks

Gingras is pleased to see him stay on board. “I very much respect him,” she said. Stuckey will be watching the national scene to see how Liberal leader Justin Trudeau handles being prime minister. “We didn’t need another majority government. You don’t have the checks and balances,” he said.

prescription drug policy and child care. “We really didn’t run a great campaign.” The Liberal victory began in Atlantic Canada and that’s when local resident Larry Peters knew the NDP were in trouble. “The Maritimes was a shock to me. They (Liberals) swept the whole area,” he said. “They couldn’t elect a Liberal there for decades.” The NDP went from 95 seats before the dissolution of Parliament to 44 nationally Monday night. While disappointed with the outcome, North OkanaganShuswap candidate Jacqui Gingras is still confident the party will play a key role in Ottawa. “There are people still there doing incredible work and they will be there for Canadians.” Mulcair has indicated that he will not resign as party leader despite the significant loss, and

Truck destroyed RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Authorities are investigating another vehicle fire in Vernon. On Monday at about 9:25 p.m., the Vernon Fire Department was called to a half-ton truck engulfed by flames on Rising Way, off of Bella Vista Road. “It’s obviously suspicious because it (truck) has been sitting there for some time,” said Lawrie Skolrood, deputy fire chief. The RCMP are involved in the investigation. This latest incident comes after three vehicles were destroyed by fire Oct. 14 on Davison Road, off of Bella Vista Road. The Oct. 14 fire has been declared suspicious. “We don’t have any reason to believe we have an arsonist targeting vehicles,” said Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy, with the RCMP.

News Crash charge dropped A charge of criminal driving causing death against an Armstrong man, relating to a March 2013 accident that claimed the lives of three individuals, has been dropped. The trial for Brandon James Kenneth McGregor, born in 1991, was to have started in Vernon Supreme Court Monday. “Crown ultimately concluded the evidence wasn’t sufficient to meet our charge assessment standard to continue the prosecution,” said Neil MacKenzie, Criminal Justice Branch spokesperson, about the charge being stayed. Shortly before 2 p.m. on March 31, 2013, McGregor was driving his Chevy Silverado truck 11 kilometres south of Vernon on Highway 97 when it crossed the centre line, colliding with a Volvo driven by a Salmon Arm man. McGregor’s passenger, Eric David Alexander Robinson, 19, of Armstrong, and the driver of the Volvo, Allan Arthur Allport, 70, of Salmon Arm, died at the scene. Allport’s wife, Fay, 67, survived the crash but died in Kelowna General Hospital the next day. The coroner reported that a police reconstructionist determined
the speed of the truck was between 78 and 94 kilometres per hour (posted speed limit is 90 km/h) and the speed of the Volvo was between 44 and 55 km/h. Allport had slowed down and pulled over toward the side of the road in an effort to avoid being struck by the pickup. McGregor did not suffer any serious injuries. Both airbags deployed and all four occupants were wearing seatbelts. MacKenzie said medical issues may have been why the truck crossed the centre line, but did not elaborate for privacy reasons. “This was a collision that occurred when the vehicle driven by McGregor crossed the centre line and collided with a vehicle travelling in opposite direction with what were clearly extremely tragic results,” said MacKenzie. “The circumstances didn’t establish any other erratic driving on Mr. McGregor’s part prior to the collision. There was additional evidence provided to Crown, and on the basis of that, Crown concluded it wasn’t possible to attribute erratic driving and crossing the centre line to any criminal conduct on his part.” The families in the case have been notified of the decision.

Boy, did they get it wrong
A
nyone chanting the strategic voting mantra got a dose of reality Monday night. For days, if not weeks, leading up to the federal election, the NDP and its affiliates insisted that the only way to ensure the Conservatives didn’t hold on to North Okanagan-Shuswap was to be strategic. They wanted voters to abandon their traditional political leanings and cast a ballot for Jacqui Gingras as the NDP was the only party able to end Tory rule. This argument played out over and over again in a chain of e-mails. “The LeadNow comRichard Rolke munity is now officially recommending Jacqui Gingras (NDP) as the best candidate to defeat the Conservatives. Leadnow.ca/VoteTogether.ca are running the most effective national strategic voting effort by far and have targeted 22 key swing ridings across Canada, and this now includes our riding,” states an e-mail from the PollOkanaganShuswap.org team, which commissioned a poll showing Gingras neck and neck with Conservative Mel Arnold. In another e-mail, Leadnow stated, “Tens of thousands of us have pledged to unite behind the best candidates that can defeat Harper. In some ridings, the best local candidate that can defeat the Harper Conservative is NDP, in others they’re Liberal. Now, we know who that is in your riding, North Okanagan-Shuswap: Jacqui Gingras of the NDP. “We ran a candidate recommendation process where we asked you to vote on whether we should back Jacqui Gingras, the candidate best positioned to defeat the local Conservative and move Canada forward. The result was an over-

whelming yes. Now that the Leadnow community has spoken, we need to start mobilizing in your riding to get out the vote for NDP candidate, Jacqui Gingras.” In other e-mails, the focus is the poll commissioned by Liberal Cindy Derkaz, which had the Conservatives in the lead and the Grits nipping at the heels of the NDP for second place. “There are some significant problems with it. The quick story is that the poll overrepresents females by nearly a factor of two, persons 65 years old or more by more than a factor of two, and under-represents those under 35 by a factor of 10,” says the PollOkanaganShuswap. org team. As we saw Monday night, rallying the wagons around the orange banner failed miserably. Arnold, not surprisingly, retained the riding for the Tories at 39.3 per cent, but it was the frequently dismissed Derkaz and the Liberals who rode into second place at 30 per cent. Gingras and the NDP, at 25.6 per cent, brought up the rear and what had been planned as a large victory party at Vernon’s Prestige Hotel turned into a wake. Gingras wouldn’t speculate on why the NDP didn’t top the polls as projected. “That’s something we will have to dwell on.” Among the potential reasons are North Okanagan-Shuswap is ideologically conservative country and the growing national interest in Trudeau trounced a lukewarm response among voters to the NDP’s Tom Mulcair. What ever the reasons, it’s abundantly clear that opinion surveys are as leaky as the Titanic and the concept of strategic voting needs to be re-examined. Arnold hit the nail on the end during a recent interview, “The only poll that matters is Oct. 19.” Good luck in Ottawa Mel.
It was certainly a historic night in Canada. The third-place Liberals swept to a majority during Monday’s federal election while the Conservatives were tossed after a decade in power and the NDP’s hold on official opposition status collapsed. Scholars and pundits will now take weeks, if not years, to analyze the results and what exactly led to such a political shift. However, while that happens, reality is starting to set in. Justin Trudeau and the Liberals made a number of promises during the campaign, including pumping money into infrastructure and keeping deficit spending to just three years. Now that Trudeau can scrutinize the financial books, will those promises be upheld or will they have to evolve, risking upset among voters? Not surprisingly, Stephen Harper announced his resignation as Conservative leader after the party was sent a clear message that its policies were not embraced by many Canadians. What this means is that the party, which is now the official opposition, will go through a leadership race. Will that infuse new energy in the party or will it lead to behind-the-scenes backstabbing and finger-pointing for the electoral loss? Of course the other story of the night was the NDP shrinking from 95 seats to 44. The orange wave orchestrated by the lake Jack Layton in 2011 could not be maintained by Tom Mulcair. Mulcair insists he’s sticking around as leader, but the membership may decide otherwise. Obviously there is a sense of optimism among many Canadians after Monday’s election, and the call for real change provides promise. However, once the campaign signs are down and the photoops are over, what is the future awaiting the parties and Canadians?

A case for pickleball in park
T
he positives to Polson Park being home to dedicated pickleball courts are numerous. An increase in the number of people using the park in a positive way makes the park safer for others and should further enhance usage. Go down to the park any morning in the summer and the number of people is dwarfed by the number of Canada geese that enjoy eating the grass in the middle of the existing running track. Consider how many more working downtown people may come into the park during their lunch hour because of the central access to try or watch the game. Consider how other types of park users may be interested in trying the game because they were exposed to it and how it promotes an active lifestyle and resulting health benefits. Consider how downtown businesses would benefit when outside tournaments are held here and participants and their families are walking distance to the restaurants and shops while they take a break between games. Consider the positive optic to Vernon when visitors come to the
park and see a top-quality sports facility being well used in the heart of its downtown. Two recent letters to the editor suggest Polson Park is not a good place for pickleball courts due to potential noise and parking concerns. These are perceived concerns but should be kept in an overall perspective and weighed against the positives. Anyone who has been around while pickleball is being played will know that you can carry on a
PROFESSIONALS PRAISED How fortunate we are to have such a highly skilled and dedicated first response team here in Lake Country. My husband, a senior, required ambulance support services twice in the last month. Five minutes after dialing 911, the first response team arrived to provide necessary medical assistance for my husband. Remember these are volunteers who drop everything they are doing to come to the aid of someone requiring help. Their quick response and ability to access the situation is evidence of their training and experience. Moments later, the ambulance arrived and the paramedics provided further support. Their training and expertise was evident in the way they provided medical support for my husband. The care and concern from both of these
conversation at normal voice levels right next to the game and not have a problem hearing each other. While not disruptive in this way, it can be annoying if you are in your backyard in the morning enjoying your coffee and paper and expecting a generally still environment. But Polson Park is not your backyard and is instead a people place that endeavours to cater to all kinds of users. The playground facilities, the waterpark feature and skateboard park all represent
teams gave comfort not only to my husband but to me, my family and friends. My husband was transported to Vernon Jubilee Hospital emergency and the staff at that hospital needs to be commended for care they provided. Thank you to those professionals and other staff for your care. I feel truly blessed to have such a dedicated group of firemen and paramedics here in Lake Country. Nita Heddle SWEET GESTURE Every once in awhile, my faith in the goodness of humanity is restored and I’d like to share a recent experience that was both surprising and wonderful. I was just returning from feeding my husband, Mel, at the Gateby when I bumped into
activities that generate as much noise as pickleball does. This is not a problem, indeed it is a good thing. It means the park is being well used and the happy noises associated with that are a positive alternative to the quiet because less people are there. If it were primarily children versus adults who played pickleball would the noise be less offensive? Regarding the parking concerns, there are a number of existing parking areas that seem to suffice whenever special events are held on site so pickleball activities shouldn’t create any new parking problems as long as some coordination is employed to ensure overlaps are kept to a minimum. The new running track at Okanagan College that opened this fall means the city is going to review the Polson Park running track space and decide what to do with it. This review will likely include an objective to maximize the usage and enjoyment for all Vernonites. On balance, pickleball courts offer a great choice as part of that decision. Trudy Walker
my dear friend Lu sitting on a bench in front of the Schubert Centre. I sat and visited with her for awhile and she told me she was waiting for her ride. A few minutes later, a white car drove up and I said, “Here’s your ride.” It wasn’t her ride. Instead, a man jumped out of the car, handed each of us a long-stemmed rose, scooted back into the car and drove away. He was a nice looking young man, nicely dressed, and he didn’t give us time to say anything more than “thank you very much.” It was such a sweet gesture, and it was a beautiful rose. I’ve never had that happen in my life and it was very thrilling and it was very sweet. I’d like to thank this young man for being so kind. Lu and I were very lucky to be sitting on that bench that day. Micki McDougall
IN RESPONSE I feel compelled to answer the recent letter of Willie and Bob Zazelenchuk regarding the care of their father on 3 North. I do agree that the care given to the patients on this ward is above reproach. I do not agree, however, with the appalling conditions that our senior parents have to endure while on this ward. This is an old section of the hospital with outdated facilities. I do not agree with the lengthy wait list for complex care. I do not agree that their stay there is a pleasant experience. I too visit my mom every day. I see her slow decline and wipe away her tears when she cries and says she would rather die than stay in this ward waiting for placement. Our government has to step up to the plate and provide more senior residences and shorten this very long wait list. The wait list is now six months to a year. This is one of many sad stories in our country and I think we should take care of our taxpayers before lending help to others. Janice Hansen

OSO enters a brave new world
A
t their season opener, the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra paid tribute to horn player Laurie Henderson who died in June. As is traditional when an orchestra loses one of its own, the piece performed was Edward Elgar’s very moving Nimrod Variation. Sunday’s concert, titled From The New World. featured iconic pieces by Jean Sibelius (Finland) and Antonin Dvořák (Czechoslovakia). The evening started with O Canada, and what better way to illustrate the concert title than with “. . . true north strong and free!” Sibelius’ Finlandia followed, one of the truly great symphonic poems. That openJim Elderton ing brass section – dark and cold, and underpinned by drumming – sends shivers up your spine. This often violent music recalls Finland’s national struggles. But towards the end of the piece the woodwinds introduce Finlandia Hymn, which has become Finland’s unofficial national anthem. The first half finished with Sibelius’ Violin Concerto - the only concerto he ever wrote. Scheduled to perform the premiere was virtuoso Willy Burmester, but he was replaced, and this initial version, with Sibelius conducting, was a disaster due to the difficulty of the violin part. Barely finished in time for the event, the soloist had little time to prepare. Sibelius refused publication and made substantial changes. But the piece fell into obscurity until 1991, when Sibelius’ heirs allowed a live performance and recording. Even now much of the violin part is highly virtuosic. The revision still requires high technical skill, superbly given here by world class violinist Martin Beaver. Unusually for a first movement, the extended cadenza (soloist playing without the orchestra) has the task of developing the first theme. But without doubt the highlight for the evening was Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9, From the New World, known as the New World Symphony. It’s one of the most well known symphonies ever, and needs no description from me. Composed in the U.S. while he was the director of the National Conservatory of Music of America, Dvořák was inspired by “the American wide open spaces” and was also interested in African-American spirituals. “I am convinced that the future music of this country must be founded on what are called Negro melodies,” said Dvořák. “These can be the foundation of a serious and original school of composition, to be developed in the United States. These beautiful and varied themes are the product of the soil. They are the folk songs of America and your composers must turn to them”. At the Carnegie Hall premiere, the end of every movement brought thunderous applause. Certainly the greatest public triumph of Dvořák’s career. Neil Armstrong took a recording on the Apollo 11 mission (the first moon landing) in 1969. And in 1973, Hovis bread made a very moving TV commercial, Boy on Bike, directed by Ridley Scott. He used the slow movement of New World Symphony, arranged for brass. It became Britain’s favourite advertisement of all time, and you’ll find the three classical Hovis commercials on You Tube.

the Contenders, Gary Fjellgaard and Valdy, return to the okanagan on their 15th annual tour, with some new songs from their about to be released third album.
The Contenders release album three Valdy and Gary Fjellgaard pack their sneakers and cowboy boots for annual tour of the Okanagan Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
You could call Valdy and Gary Fjellgaard the odd couple of the Canadian folk-roots music circuit. While Valdy wears sneakers, Fjellgaard is prone to wearing cowboy boots. One started his life in Ottawa and eventually hit the road in a hippy van with numerous bands, a guitar in hand, and a rock and roll song in his heart. The other started life in a small Prairie town and rode the wind west on a cowboy trail of country and western. Their paths would eventually meet and years later Valdy and Fjellgaard, otherwise known as The Contenders, are still sharing the life of travelling minstrels, sharing a song and a laugh to all who will listen. They are about to do just that when they return to the Okanagan for their 15th annual tour that takes them from Armstrong to Ashton Creek, down to Summerland and Penticton, then north to the Shuswap before ending the tour with stops in Vernon and Kamloops. “We keep threatening to quit (the tour) but we still have fun. It’s always a fun ride with Valdy, and all his paraphernalia. It’s an experience,” said Fjellgaard, referring to life on the road with his Contenders’ compatriot.
One thing the two can agree on is who chooses the music while driving. “We both do,” said Fjellgaard, who at 78 still travels many miles himself, playing shows such as the Stoney Creek Cowboy Festival and the Innisfail rodeo. “I am from the Prairies originally, so I tour back there quite often,” he said. Fjellgaard is hoping that he doesn’t have bad luck like the last time he travelled though the Okanagan when his motorhome broke down near Penticton. “I had put some hard miles on it,” he said. “I ended up sleeping in my tent for a few nights in a parking lot.” Presented by Armstrong concert promoter Ken Smedley, the Contenders started their annual tour as a one-shot deal to raise funds for the George Ryga Centre, the former artist retreat and home to the late writer in Summerland. “For years we kept it going and then the house was sold. We thought, ‘lets keep doing this, and this time we’ll keep the money,’” laughed Fjellgaard. This year’s tour is a meaningful one for The Contenders as it comes on the release of their third album. “I never thought we would get that first album done and now we have number three,” said Fjellgaard, who came up with the name Contenders from a song he wrote for the duo’s first album. This new album comes on the distant heels of the duo’s second recording, Still in the Running, which was released in 2007. With his home on Gabriola Island, Fjellgaard, has been meeting Salt Spring Islander Valdy half way, literally, to record the new album. “We’ve been recording in a beautiful studio in Crofton, live off the floor.
These are songs that we individually love. We do some of our own and the rest are covers,” said Fjellgaard. Engineered by Zak Cohen at the Woodshop studio in Crofton, the album features mostly acoustic songs but the electric guitar is featured on a cover of The Eagles’ Whatever Happened to Saturday Night. There’s also an ode to the late, great Stompin’ Tom Connors (Oh Tom, We Miss You). “We will mix it up on the tour. We’ll each do our solo part of the show and then we’re perform songs together from Contenders 3,” said Fjellgaard. Dates for The Contenders tour include: – Oct. 30 at 7:30 p.m. at Zion United Church Hall Armstrong. Tickets are at Chocoliro in Armstrong, 250-546-2886. – Oct. 31 at Lorenzo’s Café, Ashton Creek.

Dance legend featured in film Morning Star Staff
One of the pioneers of contemporary dance in North America is about to be spotlighted in Vernon. New York’s Paul Taylor is widely considered to be one of the foremost American choreographers of the 20th century. His recent dances, as well as his classics, offer cogent observations on life’s complexities while tackling some of society’s thorniest issues. The company he founded, the Paul Taylor Dance Company, is about to make a special engagement when it performs at the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre Nov. 10. But first locals will have a chance to learn about the man himself when the centre hosts a special screening of
the documentary film, Paul Taylor: Creative Domain, this Saturday. “I make dances because I believe in the power of contemporary dance, its immediacy, its potency, its universality,” Taylor is quoted as saying. “I make dances because that’s what I’ve spent many years teaching myself to do and it’s become what I’m best at.” The documentary is currently screening in New York’s Lincoln Center to rave reviews and follows Taylor during his creative period choreographing Three Dubious Memories, his 133rd dance. The film crew captures the first day the dance is cast to its premiere. “The film is exceptional, both in its craft as a documentary and the opportunities it cre-

Artist brings fall tour to Triumph Morning Star Staff
Holding his new album, Life As A Lover, in one hand and his suitcase in the other, singer-songwriter Mike Evin has embarked on his 30-date tour from coast to coast. The Toronto-based artist arrives in Vernon Friday to give an intimate show at Triumph C o f f e e on 30th Avenue. E v i n released Life As A Lover, his fifth studio album, Aug. 28 and Photo submitted kicked off Mike Evin performs at his tour in Triumph Coffee Friday. Kitchener, Ont. For his Canadian dates, Evin has teamed up with the charity International Justice Mission, a global organization that protects the poor from violence in the developing world. Evin has also recently released a video for his latest single, Al Green, and said the experience of recording the video was one that will last in his memory. “This was a magical day at Charmaine’s Place, one of my favou-
rite places in Toronto. I invited some of the best singers I know, who also happen to be great friends. We warmed up for two hours by singing a bunch of Motown, Stax and reggae songs. We have all this on tape and I hope to release more later on,” said Evin. “The best part for me was introducing my friends to Charmaine’s Place and to Zephie, Charmaine’s husband, who’s an old-school Jamaican musician. He played a big part in making everyone come alive that day.” Life as a Lover was produced by Juno-nominated Howie Beck (Feist, Walk Off The Earth, Hannah Georgas) and features the first single, Have I Ever Loved, as well as the catchy follow up, Al Green. Drawing from influences as varied as Ben Folds and Michael Jackson, Evin weaves hook-laden melodies, playful vocals, and driving grooves to create danceable pop gems and hopeful musings on life and love. Evin has shared the stage with the likes of Ron Sexsmith, Dan Mangan, Sarah Harmer and Amy Millan of Stars, and will be joined by drummer Ian MacKay (Basia Bulat) for his fall tour. Their performance at Triumph Coffee, 3401-A 30th Ave., starts Friday at 8 p.m. Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 at the door. Advance tickets are available at www.brownpapertickets. com.

Help with computers Morning Star Staff
Basic digital literacy is not only a handy skill to have, it is rapidly becoming an essential skill, and one that can be very confusing for anyone born before the digital age. To help local seniors learn how to use technology to enhance their lives, the Vernon library will once again be holding one-on-one computer help every Tuesday and Thursday. Free one-on-one hour-long sessions can be reserved at the library’s information desk, located at 2800-30th Ave., or by calling 250-542-7610, extension 6820. During each session, a trained library staff member will assist and answer your questions about how to use computers. You can use a library computer for training or bring your own device for personalized tech help. Sessions are available from 10 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. each Tuesday and Thursday.

In preparation for the launch of the 2016 My Okanagan calendar sponsored by Grannies à Gogo, professional photographer John Morrison of Revelstoke explains the strengths of each photo to Carol Schroeder and Anne Clarke after completing his judging.
Winning photos selected SUSAN FENNER Special to The Morning Star
“And the winner is...!” Professional photographer John Morrison of Revelstoke has judged a multitude of entries to the Grannies à Gogo photo contest, My Okanagan‚ and selected a total of 13 winners. Amongst them will be the grand prize winner whose photo will be featured on the cover of the beautiful 2016 calendar. A second and third prize will also

be named, and all 13 photos will appear in the calendar. There are several reasons the public is enthusiastically invited to attend the launch of this eyecatching calendar on Friday at the People Place. From 5:30 p.m. to 6 p.m., the public will vote for their favourite photo entry for the People’s Choice Award. Most significantly will be the announcing of the winners. John Morrison, who said he found the quality of entries
extremely high, will explain the outstanding photographic qualities that influenced his choices. He will also be available to talk individually to the contest entrants about their photos. Since this event takes place over the supper hour, coffee/tea, pizza, veggies and fruit will be served. All net proceeds from calendar sales support AIDSbereaved gogos (grandmothers) in Sabie, South Africa. At $15,
the calendars make beautiful gifts to family and friends as a daily reminder of our magnificently diverse North Okanagan. It is an easy-to-mail gift (envelopes included) and there is plenty of room to note daily events. The My Okanagan calendar launch will be held Friday at the People Place, 3402-27th Ave., lower level, at 5:30 p.m. Susan Fenner is publicity Rep for Grannies à Gogo: the VernonSouth Africa Connection.
Students feast on fresh veggies
ast week for Thanksgiving weekend, I went in the garden and had enough flowers to make a large bouquet. The California poppies lasted almost four days and after one week the white cosmos were still looking fresh. At the moment, the best show is from the dahlias. I didn’t have Jocelyne Sewell to go earwig hunting this year and they didn’t touch the dahlias. I only put them in the garden at the end of June. Five of them were in shade with less than three hours of sun a day and they grew very tall and strong just the same, with good stems. I will start them earlier next year and give them the spot they deserve. I finally harvested all the eggplants and peppers. With the colder nights, it was time for them to come in. Peppers don’t need to be blanched before freezing so I just wash them, cut them and lay them on a cookie

sheet. After a few hours in the freezer, they are firm enough to go in freezer bags. I got the greenhouse ready for winter. I laid down a tarp on the floor and covered it with grass clippings. Some of the large pots are already in and for the first time, I can walk between plants. I even have enough room for a chair which I plan to use this winter when the sun shines and warms it up. When I get enough leaves later on, I will shred them and put them around the plants for insulation. Most of the time, it is not the cold that kills the plants but the wind, and it is why plants in pots should be protected and buried in the garden and covered with a mulch. I have lost only a few plants over the years and they were the very small ones, with a small root system. We had the harvest feast Oct. 14 at St. James School. This is the end of the program for this year. After the summer heat and all the days of watering, we had a good harvest of potatoes, kale, squash, beets, carrots and a few bits and pieces. All the food we grow at the school is organic. On the menu was a coconut curry squash soup and
a borscht served with fresh baked bread. Colourful kale was very appetizing with corn kernels and sweet red peppers, Swiss chard with raisins and sunflower seeds and baked squash with a touch of maple syrup. For dessert, apple crisp with organic ice cream. All this food was cooked under the supervision of Jan Hillis, retired dietitian. What we did not have in the garden was from Nature’s Fare Markets, a regular sponsor of this program. I have peas growing in the garden and still blooming. I had seeded a whole bunch earlier when I found some of them damaged by pea weevils in my dried peas. They came up just the same and I have been harvesting and eating pea shoots. I went looking for recipes on the internet and people growing them use them in replacement of greens. Every time I go by, I take a few as a snack. They are just delicious. I had planned to grow them as green manure but I will eat more of them before turning them under when my lettuce is soon ready in the cold frame.

If anyone would like to donate a toy, bring it to the banquet, put your name on it, and you will be entered into their prize draw. Toys will go to a local youth group.

All proceeds from the evening are donated to a local charity that the gals vote on that evening. We never know in advance who will get the money. And if we raise many thousands of dollars, we usually give to the top two vote-getters.” The event takes place at Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club and features a traditional Christmas turkey buffet, including vegetarian lasagna, salads and desserts, with a cash bar. There is also an ATM machine on site. Cocktails begin at 5:30 p.m., dinner is at 7 p.m. Over dinner there

News Plans on route for rail trail Morning Star Staff
Establishment of a rail corridor is starting to take shape. On Monday, Kelowna council confirmed the city’s participation in an inter-jurisdictional development team that will plan, design, finance, develop and maintain a continuous recreational trail along the discontinued Canadian National corridor from Kelowna to Coldstream. “Local governments have invested $22 million in the purchase of the discontinued railway,” said Colin Basran, Kelowna mayor. “In doing so, they have made a long-term commitment to the ultimate developColin Basran ment of the rail corridor as a multi-modal regional transportation corridor, including use of the corridor as a recreational trail.” Besides Kelowna, the purchase involved Lake Country, Coldstream and Vernon, and the regional districts of Central Okanagan and North Okanagan. As a condition of the sale of the corridor, CN Rail is responsible for track removal and environmental site remediation. CN has until 2017 to complete these terms and construction on the corridor would only commence once those obligations are fulfilled. Before any plan for development of the trail can be submitted for local government consideration, there will be a planning and design process which includes public consultation, cost estimates and development phasing. “The timing and funding of any construction work will ultimately be at the discretion of the elected councils of the City of Kelowna and the District of Lake Country and of the board of the Regional District of North Okanagan and planned for in the annual budgeting cycles,” said Basran. Basran says that due to the significant investment to purchase the corridor, and other preexisting priorities, Kelowna is not in a position to make any significant financial commitments to development of a trail in the short-term. “However, opportunities will be explored to work with the community, external fundraisers and granting agencies in order to secure the funds necessary to develop the corridor for recreational use.”

Local climate change studied Morning Star Staff
A visiting Australian scholar will work with researchers at the University of B.C. to examine the recent record of climate change in the Okanagan. The opportunity, according to Bernard Bauer, who teaches earth and environmental sciences and geography at UBC, will allow researchers to compare the history and current conditions of the two regions. “Areas of Australasia and the Okanagan are showing similar climate change impacts, particularly as they relate to changing precipitation patterns and recurring drought,” said Bauer. “Gaining access to the expertise of researchers from other parts of the world can help us better understand our own situation because the atmosphere and oceans are globally connected.” Jamie Shulmeister, a researcher at the University of Queensland, specializes in paleoclimatology, glacial geology, and coastal evolution. “Understanding the climatic conditions of ages past provides researchers with a point of reference when looking at the various contributing factors of today’s changing climate and forecasting what regions such as the Okanagan might expect in the future,” said Shulmeister. “I look forward to working with local researchers to explore the similarities and differences in our experiences and determining what aspects of our common issues are being influenced by global conditions.” Shulmeister will hold a public discussion, Back to the Future: How New Zealand’s Ancient Glaciers Can Help Solve the Riddle of Canada’s Changing Climate, at Vernon’s Okanagan Science Centre Thursday from 7 to 8:30 pm.

TWO STOREY FAMILY HOME
wo-storey homes, square metre for square metre, provide the most living space on a property, and this three-bedroom family home is no exception. Entry is through a covered porch with a veranda to the left. Once in the foyer, double doors open to a den, with the U-shaped staircase to the second floor beyond. A window above the stairwell will let in lots of natural light. The great room, separated from the foyer by an archway, has a lofty sloped ceiling that is open to the floor above. A gas fireplace is flanked by entertainment units, and large windows look onto a covered patio at the back of the home. From the dining area, access to the covered deck is easy, through sliding glass doors. A prep island divides the kitchen from the dining area, which has large windows overlooking the back garden. Natural light will enter the kitchen through windows over the double sink, which is set into a corner at an angle. The U-shaped counter configuration will provide adequate working
space as well as efficiency. A walk-in pantry will offer extra storage space. Across from the powder room located near the foyer is a handy coat closet. Another closet is included in the laundry room, which has access to the double garage, large enough to include a workshop. Upstairs, the master suite looks out to the back garden. The generous en-suite includes a soaker tub as well as double basins and a shower stall. The walk-in closet will be roomy enough for a couple’s clothing and accessories. The second and third bedrooms share a three-piece bath. A linen closet is located outside the entrance to the third bedroom. Part of the second floor is open to the great room below, and is railed for safety. On the outside, the home is clad in horizontal siding, with wooden shingles and decorative woodwork in the gables. Pilasters with brick bases mark the entry and veranda, and brick accents flank the two garage doors. This home measures 42 feet wide by 58 feet deep, for a total
of 2,079 square feet of living space, not counting the unfinished basement included with the plans. Ceilings rise to nine feet throughout the main floor, except where otherwise indi-
cated. Plans for design 7-3-1000 are available for $795 (set of 5), $900(set of 8) and $984 for a super set of 10. B.C. residents add 7% Prov. Sales Tax. Also

Vipers sweep Centennials Morning Star Staff
Liam Finlay’s seventh goal of the season, set up on a powerplay by Odeen Tufto and Mitchell Oliver, with 4:30 left in regulation time gave the Vernon Vipers a 5-3 B.C. Hockey League win over the Merritt Centennials Saturday at the Nicola Valley Memorial Arena. The win, coming 24 hours after a 3-0 decision at Kal Tire Place, gave the Snakes a sweep of the home-and-home tilt with the Cents. Captain Colton McCarthy scored a shorthanded empty-net goal with eight seconds left to secure the two points. The Centennials, blanked by B.C. Hockey League player of the week, Vipers goalie Andrew Shortridge, opened
Saturday’s scoring with a powerplay goal from Nick Jermain at 18:55 of the opening Frame. The Vipers responded after the intermission with goals from defenceman Bo Pellah (second of the year) and Jagger Williamson (first), and a powerplay marker from Oliver (first). The Cents got one back with the man advantage at 18:02 from Michael Faulkner, then tied the game 3-3 on a powerplay early in the third from Nick Fiorentino. Merritt was 3-9 with the man advantage, Vernon 2-4. “I thought we responded and channelled our energy in a good way,” said head coach Mark Ferner, noting the discrepancy in penalty calls. “It was an emo-
tional win, which you don’t mind seeing as a coach.” Shortridge has won his last four starts, allowing six goals and stopping 153 of 159 shots. The Eagle River, Alaska product, who has committed to Quinnipiac next season, is 7-3 on the year with a 2.15 goals against average and a .930 save percentage to sit fifth among league goalies. The Vipers (8-6-0-1) are third in the Interior Division, one point behind the Salmon Arm Silverbacks and one ahead of fourth-place West Kelowna. The Warriors visit Kal Tire Place Friday at 7 p.m. as the Vipers kick off a four-game home stand. The Victoria Grizzlies (2-9-0-2) play in Vernon Saturday at 6 p.m.
Twenty minutes. Twenty minutes from ending a six-game losing skid and finishing off a tough three-games-inthree-days Kootenays road trip with a big W. Brendan Smith’s powerplay goal with 19 seconds left in regulation time, however, capped a comeback from a 2-0 secondperiod deficit and lifted the hometown Nelson Leafs to a 3-2 win over the North Okanagan Knights in Kootenay International Junior Hockey League action Sunday afternoon. Game star Kelsey Byrne, with his third of the year, and Liam Molloy, with his first of the season, staked the Knights to a 2-0 lead after 40 minutes. Jordan Davie made it 2-1 seven minutes into the third period before Kyle Chernenkoff tied the game with 2:54 remaining. Goalie Daniel Paul made 31 stops, including 15 in the final period when the Knights were outshot 18-3 and 34-19 overall. The Knights (3-10-0-1), who fell 4-0 Saturday in Castlegar to the Rebels, have lost seven in a row and sit in the basement of the Okanagan Division, one point behind fourth-place Kelowna. North Okanagan outshot the Rebels 43-35 but could not solve Castlegar goalie Joseph McLeod. Paul was tagged with the loss. The Knights open up a four-game home stand Friday when they host the Sicamous Eagles (3-100-0) at 7:30 p.m. at the Nor-Val Sports Centre in Armstrong.
Joanisse scores second straight semifinal win over Cotter Morning Star Staff
Dean Joanisse 2 Jim Cotter 0. Since losing the 2015 B.C. men’s curling final to Vernon’s Cotter in February, at the Vernon Curling Club, Joanisse has exacted revenge at the last two World Curling Tour events in the Okanagan.
Joanisse, from Royal City in New Westminster, snapped a 3-3 Monday semifinal tie with three in the sixth end with the hammer, then held on to beat Cotter 6-5 in the Hub International Crown of Curling event at the Kamloops Curling Club. The win put Joanisse into an all-New West final against
Sean Geall, who made it two wins over his clubmate in the bonspiel with a 5-4 decision to earn the $7,000 first prize cheque. Joanisse, who won $5,000 Monday, defeated Cotter 9-7 in the semis at the Prestige Hotels and Resorts Curling Classic earlier this month at the Vernon Curling Club
before dropping the final to reigning Canadian champ Pat Simmons of Calgary. Cotter got one back in the seventh end Monday to be down 6-4 heading into the eighth and final end, but only managed a steal of one, unable to force an extra end. The Vernon team earned $4,000 for reaching
the final four. Cotter, backed by third Ryan Kuhn, second Tyrel Griffith and lead Rick Sawatsky, advanced to the playoffs by winning an A event qualifier over Geall, 5-3, Saturday afternoon, then didn’t play again until Monday morning. Geall qualified out of

Maroons third at Best of the West Morning Star Staff
The second-ranked B.C. AA Fulton Maroons settled for bronze at the 39-team Best of the West Senior Boys and Girls Volleyball Tournament, hosted by Kelowna Secondary. Placed in a power pool, Fulton’s first match was against No. 1 AA MEI of Clearbrook, with the Fraser Valley school taking advantage of a slow Maroons start for a 25-17, 25-23 win. “The boys usually are a freight train team; slow to start and then full-steam ahead. Unfortunately, you can’t do that against a team of this calibre,” said Fulton head coach Richard Bedard. Fulton then took on No. 3-ranked AAA school, Mt. Boucherie Bears of West Kelowna, winning handily 25-18, 25-18. The Maroons finished the round-robin with a 25-21, 25-13 win over No. 6 AAA Penticton Lakers. In the round of 16, Fulton played No. 5 AA Langley Christian Lightning, where they beat them 29-27 and 25-22. Their quarter final was against the George Elliott Coyotes of Lake Country, with the Maroons advancing to the final four with a 25-20, 25-19 decision. In the semi final, they played No. 3-ranked 4A Jasper Place Rebels of Edmonton. “Considering they have 2,500 students from Grades 10-12 in their school, our boys

Sharon Shaigec’s Maroons went 4-2 in the senior girls event at the Best of the West. The Maroons placed first in pool play, defeating Surrey’s Enver Creek 25-8 ,2517, Carver Christian of Burnaby 25-17, 25-21 and Prince Charles of Creston 25-16, 25-22. In the playoff round, Fulton lost a close match to Belrose of Edmonton,
25-21, 16-25, 9-15, defeated 4A Rutland Voodoos 25-21, 25-22 and lost to AA Selkirk of Kimberley, 20-25, 13-25. “Our team is definitely improving in all areas of our game, but we have work to do on our serve receive,” said Shaigec, whose Maroons took on the Seaton Sonics in league play Tuesday. “We are a strong serving team with Kieanna Boomer-Jones going on a nine-point serving streak, and Emily Dahl, Sarah Orr and Jessica Thompson with five-point runs.” Maria Hansen’s Kal Lakers finished tied for 10th at the Best of the West. In pool play, Kal lost to Pen-Hi 21-25, 25-13, 13-15, showing their full potential in the second set where Skylar Elliot had five kills and
libero Natalie Bienias controlled the back court. Carmen Pavlov was strong at the net throughout the set from the middle position. The Lakers took care of Langley Fundamental 25-17, 25-19 with Ania Splawinski working the big block well, Amanda Filice – currently recovering from a back injury – played very well from power and Maya Bandy was outstanding all weekend quarterbacking the offence. Kal dominated DW Poppy of Langley, 25-14, 25-10, in their final pool match. Shayle Routley came in with strong hitting and serving against Poppy. Grade 11 Jamie Grages also had a strong showing from the power side, registering four kills and making some excellent defensive pick-ups. Mya Parmar showed great hustle at
McPhie scores in big TRU victory Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Finlay McPhie and Enderby’s Corey Wallis played key roles in Thompson Rivers University WolfPack’s biggest win in its brief CIS men’s soccer history Sunday. McPhie scored on a header in the 84th minute and Wallis had a fabulous game on the backline as the ‘Pack shocked the University of Victoria Vikings 4-2 in CIS Canada West play at Hillside Stadium. It was a match which WolfPack head coach John Antulov acknowledged was the biggest win since the program joined the CIS less than two years ago. “Without a doubt,” he said. “To beat one of the top teams in the country...they have such a storied history. For the last four games our guys have been playing well but not getting the results. It was nice to see the guys rewarded for the time they put in.” Antulov had a heart to heart meeting with
his crew after their 3-0 loss to unbeaten UBC on Saturday, a match McPhie was named TRU Bookstore/McDonald’s Leader of the Pack player of the match. “The guys just stepped it up today,” said Antulov. The coach also gave credit to his backline, especially the play of Braedern Burrows and Wallis. “Braeden yesterday against UBC and today was fantastic,” said Antulov. “His partnership with Finlay is really starting to form. They are hard to beat. Steffy (Stefan Shaw) is coming back into form and Adam Swanson, as a young player, is coming in. We changed it a bit today putting Corey (Wallis) in front of him and they were fantastic.” The WolfPack close out the regular season this weekend at Hillside as they meet up with the UNBC Timberwolves. Sunday’s match will see the team honor their graduating players, including Wallis.
setter. In their first playoff game, Kal came up against a tough Jasper Place squad from Edmonton, falling 19-25, 14-25, with the Lakers’ Kennedy Wright putting on a blocking clinic against a tough Jasper Place offence. On Saturday morning, the Lakers played its best team match of the tourney, downing Kelowna’s Immaculata 25-15, 25-23. “Alexa Tymkiw was a force from the right side all weekend, but was particularly dominant in this match,” said Hansen. “Once again Wright was strong in the middle. Skylar Elliot also played well being moved from power to middle.” Kelowna’s Okanagan Mission Huskies frustrated the Lakers with a dump-style offence in Kal’s final game, scoring an 18-25, 16-25 victory. Lydia Wood played well defensively coming up with a number of digs against a scrappy OKM offence.

Mustangs wrangle win over Vees Morning Star Staff
Coming off a Sean Bacon Dynamic Shift clinic/camp paid off for the Vernon Watkin Motors Mustangs. The host Mustangs got 2+1 from Steele Quiring in a 4-2 Okanagan Mainline Pee Wee Tier 2 Hockey League win Saturday over the Penticton Vees at the Priest Valley Arena. Jakob Jones and Jacob Boden also scored for the Mustangs while Jarred Feist (2) and Zachary Funk added assists as Vernon put its already amazing work ethic into high gear with new skills and mental toughness. The Mustangs will get a strong test this weekend as they take part in a Tier 1 tournament in Kamloops. Connor Webb backstopped the Vernon Midget Tier 2 Home Hardware Centre Vipers to a 4-1 league victory over the West Kelowna Warriors at Royal Lepage Place Sunday afternoon. Dex Elders, Dawson Chase, Conor Johnston and Brady Marzocco all scored singles as Vernon improved to 12-1-1 on the year. The Sun Valley Source for Sports Bantam Tier 2 Vipers split a pair of league games this weekend. The Sun Valley crew suffered their first league loss of the season, 3-1, on Saturday in West Kelowna.
LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR
Taryk Filipuzzi, of the Vernon Valley Wood Remanufacturing Atom A Vipers, skates to the net against Brayden Skoostap of the Kelowna Chiefs Saturday at Kal Tire Place. Kelowna won 5-4. Cole Johnson, a defenceman who was moved up to forward due to injuries, provided the only Vernon goal in a close-checking game. Both teams scored in the first period, and it stayed knotted at one until late in the third when West Kelowna was able to sneak one past keeper Tyler Sedlacek. The Warriors would add an empty netter. Vernon came out flying at the Memorial Arena in Kamloops on Sunday, and downed the host Blazers
10-2. Johnson led the way with 3+3, Corbin Hanson scored two and added four helpers, Nick Bolin, Nic Teal, Scott Gilowski and Lee Christensen each had 1+1 while Cam Moger rounded out the scoring. Lucas Wood, Lincoln Connor, Drew Mackenzie, K.T Walters and Cole Boyarski added assists. Kael Black scored the only goal in a shootout to give the Vernon Fix Auto Bantam Tier 3 Vipers a 4-3 victory over the visiting
Castlegar Rebels Sunday. The Vipers’ Ben Imrich scored Vernon’s first goal banging home a rebound off a Cory Lazar shot. Jacob Brewer tied the game at 2-2 at the end of the second period with assists going to Mason Robinson and Zack Laranjo. Castlegar took the lead late into the third period before Lazar fired a wrist shot top shelf. Lucas Zubrod earned the assist. Goalie Jordan Foster made several great game
saves and was unbeaten in the shoot out. The Vipers opened the weekend with a 5-4 loss to the host West Kelowna Warriors in a penalty-filled affair. Vernon took a 3-1 lead into the third period but some penalties and some undisciplined play cost the team as West Kelowna scored four goals to take the victory. Brewer opened the scoring in the first while Lazar, from Imrich, and Gavin Fleck from Robinson added two more in the second. Ben Reinhardt assisted on Robinson’s goal in the third period to finish off the scoring. Vernon H and L Glass Jr. Vipers Atom C team traveled to Merritt Saturday for their second road trip of the season. The team came out flat, eventually losing 6-1. Down 3-0 in the first period the Vipers applied some late pressure and the young line of Jeffrey Curtis, Lyndon Carleton and Marcel Green had some chances but the Merritt goaltender stood tall. Early in the second, Austen Vandenbrand held the offensive blue line to stop a Merritt break out. He stole the puck and after two strides passed to Colter Louis who sent
Hudson Kibblewhite in all alone and he beat the goalie glove side with a quick shot. The Snakes had chances to get back in the game. Maguire Nicholson got free for a shot and Charlie Swartz had some nice rushes up the middle, beating everyone but the goalie. The Atom A and C Junior Vipers host their Apple Harvest home tournament this weekend The A Vipers play Coquitlam Friday at 1:15 p.m. and tangle with Aldergrove Saturday at 11:15 a.m. and Langley at 6:15 p.m. All games are at the Civic Arena.

Twelve months after a heartbreaking defeat, the Okanagan Sun are on their way back to the B.C. Football Conference final. In a game that was over almost as soon as it began, the Sun disposed of the Kamloops Broncos 75-7 in the BCFC semifinal Sunday at the Apple Bowl. The Sun will host Vancouver Island Raiders next Sunday for a berth in the Canadian Bowl. The Cullen Cup final between the Sun and Raiders will kick off at 1 p.m. Sunday at the Apple Bowl. Vernon high school standouts Zac Kronbauer (VSS) and Tye Kitzman (Fulton) are members of the victorious Sun. The Broncos’ offence took a hit on the first play of the game when all-star running back Jacob Palmarin went down with an injury and didn’t return. Nine Vernon products – defensive back Lucas Hofer, linebackers Kyle Richardson, Robby Filice and Michael Ochoa, offensive linemen Tanner Bishop, Jeff Hiscoe and Brandon Melbourne, defensive lineman Colten Gaudet and wide receiver Broden Romanovitch – played for the Broncos. Romanovitch was named the Broncos’ Most Improved Offensive Player, while Hiscoe was selected Offensive Rookie Of The Year at the team’s recent year-end banquet.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder FROM YESTERDAY TO TODAY’S TIP Will Rogers said, “Don’t let yesterday use up too much of today.” Yesterday, we learned that if a defender has a chance to ruff one of declarer’s winners, he normally should do it. Even if it costs a trump trick, perhaps the defenders will break even. Is today’s deal related to that one or from a different family? South is in four spades. West leads the club ace: three, nine, seven. West cashes the club king: four, two, eight. What should happen after that? In the bidding, North is right to open one club, not one diamond. Open one diamond on a three-card suit only with 4-4-3-2 distribution: two four-
card majors. Note also West’s two-club overcall. Nowadays, top pairs use a two-level overcall in a minor bid by an opponent or in responder’s major as natural. With 5-5 in the unbid suits, they jump to two no-trump. Also, North was right to raise to two spades with four-card support. West should check out the high-card points. (Doing this on every deal would significantly improve your results.) He has 13, dummy has 13, and South had enough to jump to game. East surely does not have a high heart honour. And if East does not, West can see only three tricks: one spade and two clubs. Rather than worry too much about where the fourth trick might
come from, West should immediately lead a third club so that East can ruff away dummy’s queen. Here, this works better than West could have hoped, because East ruffs with his spade queen. This effects an uppercut that gives the defenders two trump tricks.

April 6, 1924 - October 17, 2015
Ken died on October 17, 2015, five days short of his 66th Wedding anniversay and the day he would have been on the golf course with friends in the season-ending Seniors Fun Tournament at the Vernon Golf Course. He was born in Winnipeg on April 6, 1924, the youngest son of George and Margaret Smith and lived in Winnipeg and spent many happy summers at the family cottage at Victoria Beach. He was predeceased by two brothers and two sisters and his sons Neil and Murray. He is survived by wife Wendy, his loving companion of 65 years, son Fraser and three nieces and two nephews and their families. He attended the University of Manitoba before joining the R.C.A.F. during the second world war, then completed a ‘tour of duty’ with Bomber Command in Britain as a navigator. After the war, he returned to studies at U.B.C. graduating in Geological Engineering in 1950. Ken and Wendy were married in Vancouver on October 22, 1949. After graduating, he moved to Alberta. Wendy joined him soon with their first son. He enjoyed his many years as an exploration geologist — five years in Edmonton and Athabasca with California Standard, 28 years in Calgary with Husons’s Bay Oil & Gas and finally two years with Dome Petroleum. For recreation in Calgary, Ken and Wendy curled and were avid square dancers. On retirement, they moved to their beautiful home above Kalamalka Lake and the park in Coldstream, B.C. Daily life in summer included hikes in the park with their dogs, two swims in the lake and 18 holes of golf at the Vernon G.C. In winter, they enjoyed curing, bridge and touring other countries with their gold clubs. Ken had a wonderful life and will be missed by many. Join us for a Memorial gathering for Ken at the Vernon Golf & Country Club between 2 and 4 PM on Saturday, November 7, 2015. Should you wish, please donate to the charity of your choice.

Peter Warnes October 28th 1958 – October 14th 2015
It is with extremely heavy hearts that we announce the very sudden passing of Peter Edward Dennis Warnes, our Dad, son, brother and friend. Born October 28th 1958 Peter was just short of his 57th birthday when he was taken from us while working at the job he loved. He was an avid outdoor adventurer, he loved soccer, hiking, hang-gliding, fishing and travel. He was a man who knew the lay of this land like the back of his hand….. He always dreamed of exploring many more places and different waters accompanied by his sons. Peter had a huge heart and he always could sense when you were faking a smile & was able to replace it with a real one. He loved life, he touched & influenced many along his journey that was cut short. He is survived by his sons Steele (Ayla) and Wyatt Warnes and their mom Peggy. His mom Audrey Warnes, four brothers from Lumby, one brother and one sister from Julian California and their families. He is predeceased by his wonderful dad, Doug Warnes. The Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, October 24th 2015 at the Community Hall in Lumby at 1:00 pm.

FLU 2015
Winter will soon be here and with that comes flu season. Influenza or the flu - can include symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, mild to severe body aches and headache. While the flu can be serious even in people that are otherwise healthy, it can be especially harmful for young children and people who have long term health conditions. The flu is an airborne virus and can also be transmitted by touching infected surfaces or objects and then touching your mouth or nose. The flu vaccine is safe and is the most effective way to protect you and your family from the flu. Studies have found that the flu vaccine can prevent up to 80% of influenza in healthy adults and children. It is now available as a shot or a nasal spray. Flu Prevention Tips 1. Get your flu vaccination earlier in the season. It takes a couple weeks to achieve full immunity. Specialized Remedy’sRx Pharmacists can administer the flu vaccine at the pharmacy. 1. Wash hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. 2. Stay away from people who are sick. If you are sick with flu-like symptoms, stay home. If your child is sick, try to keep him or her in a separate room from others in the household 3. Contain your coughs and sneezes. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue and throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. No tissue handy? Cough or sneeze into your elbow to keep the virus from spreading through the air and other surfaces. 4. Limit the spread of germs. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Keep surfaces like tables, toys and countertops clean by wiping them down with household disinfectant. If you do get the flu, call your Remedy’sRx pharmacist about medications you can take to relieve the symptoms. As well, take steps to decrease spreading the flu to others and get some rest. Your Remedy’sRx Pharmacist is a great source for flu vaccine information, as well as information about prescription, non-prescription and herbal medications. We can also help Sterling Centre

Q: A:
What is my Credit Score? What does that mean to my mortgage application?
You are probably asking about your Beacon Credit Score. This is one of the numbers provided on your history of credit in Canada. There are several different scores that make up your credit report with Equifax Canada. 1. Beacon This is the score based on the likelihood of serious delinquency within 24 months (90 days past due or worse) and is based upon a number of different parameters (occupation, history of repayment, current balances, access credit, etc.). 2. Equifax Risk Score predicts the likelihood of serious delinquency within 12 months. 3. Consumer Risk Predictor predicts the likelihood of serious delinquency within 24 months. 4. Bankruptcy Score predicts the likelihood of consumer bankruptcy within 24 months. There is another credit agency in Canada, TransUnion, that is also used by some of the major banks that has similar scoring components. The mortgage default insurers will look at both credit bureaus to assess your application, and your credit report is used to determine your credit worthiness in their approval of your mortgage. We make mortgages easy. Call us to discuss your options today! E&O/OAC
Q A
We are replacing the carpet in our home. What type of carpet do you recommend?
This is a question that I am asked fairly often by my customers and the answer is…”that depends on your lifestyle.” Choosing carpeting is very subjective as we all have different tastes and live different lifestyles. If you have an active family with children and/or pets, you will need a more practical and durable carpet. Choose a carpet that is more dense with a tighter and harder weave such as Berber. If there is just you and your spouse living in the home and you are careful to keep up with regular maintenance on the carpet, then choosing a softer, more luxurious style may be right for you. As for type of carpet, I would recommend continuous filament Nylon. Avoid staple yarn that is made with short filaments as it will shed and mat much easier. The other option is Olefin/Polypropylene. This is good in a Berber style as it is hard wearing and less expensive. However, no matter which carpet you choose, the most important purchase will be the underpad. Don’t skimp here as the underpad is the foundation for your carpet. Always maintain your carpet with proper vacuuming and have it professionally cleaned regularly by Oxy-Dry® to ensure a longer lasting investment! Oxy-Dry®… your FRESH choice!
OZONE
Yes, your hearing can be harmed by sudden loud noises or by continuous noise over time. The louder the noise, the faster damage can occur. If you notice any ringing or change in your hearing immediately after using your hair dryer, then it may be causing damage to your hearing.

How do you forgive someone, and why is it so important?
Forgiveness is the act of letting go of negative feelings towards another person or of ourselves. We cannot change what has happened and by carrying it with us as emotional baggage, it can detrimentally impact our happiness. The emotional charge lodges itself in our limbic system and until we release it, we may be triggered by anything that ties in to this emotional storage area. Forgiveness does not mean forgetting the experience, the feeling, or the situation, but it is moving forward with peace, allowing the emotion to release and loving yourself enough to move forward. Letting go is a positive change, a gift to yourself. You can journal, writing down your feelings, tell a friend, or go to a counsellor. Forgiveness is an act of self-empowerment. You owe it to yourself. #8, 3100 - 35th Street, Vernon in Discovery Plaza ph/text 250-550-0316

Q: A:
I have discovered what I think is vermiculite insulation in my home; I have heard that vermiculite contains asbestos, which is a health hazard. What should I do?
First of all you should have it verified that it is actually vermiculite. Then you should have a sample of the vermiculite tested at a lab to determine if it actually does contain asbestos. If it is found to contain asbestos you can do a few different things. #1: you can ignore it & hope it will not come back to haunt you (not recommended). #2: some advise to not disturb it, seal it off from the rest of the home and do not touch it. Or #3: you can have it professionally removed. This is most likely the most expensive solution, but I feel is the best solution. Some years ago vermiculite was not a big deal, now it is becoming an issue due to the fact that it is a health hazard, known to cause some types of cancer. My advice is, why take the chance with yours & your family’s health? Have it professionally removed for peace of mind & knowing you have made your home safer. Who knows, maybe in the next few years vermiculite could become a major issue & seriously de-value your home. For further information give me a call or Google vermiculite on the internet.

Q: A:
Can I keep my existing flooring & still get new kitchen cabinets?
In most cases the kitchen floor does not extend under the cabinets. If you are lucky to have some excess flooring, it can then be used with your new cabinet design to repair or reconfigure the flooring to allow for a new design. If you don’t have extra flooring, it will be necessary to keep the existing cabinet footprint. This does not mean that the new kitchen will look identical or function the same. There are many options available to achieve a more functional and esthetically pleasing kitchen.
