Cut to rural bus route hurts RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Allan Jones is raising his children on the same family farm he grew up on, but getting them to school has become a challenge. The family lives at Echo Lake, on Creighton Valley Road, and Jones’ daughters in Grades 3 and 5 are driven 17 kilometres to the nearest bus stop to get to school in Lumby. Until this year, the bus came to them but Vernon School District cuts ended the service. “It’s a nightmare every day,” said Jones. “It’s been very stressful. We have to get them to the bus, go home and work and then go back again.”
Not only is time from his home-based business lost, Jones and his wife are spending considerable money on gas. “I understand budget cuts but it (bus) is a service we had for 40 years,” he said. “I offered to pay money for them to come out here.” School district officials have stated that because of provincial funding, there isn’t sufficient resources to continue all previous bus routes. Jones has expressed his concerns with the school district and he has sought political action. “I thought our MLA could help us but I’ve been trying for three months and he hasn’t returned calls,” said Jones. Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA,
says Jones has talked to his office staff and been told the issue is the responsibility of the school board. “They make changes in busing and we don’t interfere in their operations,” said Foster. “It’s their call. He needs to deal with the school district and not me.” Foster added that the government used to designate money specifically for transportation but school boards requested that the money be combined with the overall funding they receive. Jones is concerned that a lack of busing could negatively impact rural communities. “What young family wants to move out here?” he said.

A social advocate believes Vernon can avoid conflicts with the homeless through a co-operative, compassionate approach. A judge recently ruled that Abbotsford’s ban against the homeless sleeping in parks violates the Charter of Rights to security of persons. “We have a protocol to deal with our campers that is respectful,” said Annette Sharkey, with Vernon’s Social Planning Council. The Social Planning Council, the City of Vernon and other agencies have a Sharkey long-standing committee that tries to connect the homeless with services they need, including housing. Information is also provided to occupants of homeless camps on how to keep their sites clean and avoid problems with the broader community. “I have to give credit to Clint Kanester, the manager of the city’s bylaw department for being a leader. This is a very unique partnership between bylaws and community outreach workers and not every city approaches homeless camps with this kind of collaboration,” said Sharkey. While Abbotsford’s ban on sleeping in parks was squashed, the judge didn’t permit permanent encampments on city land. “The judgement brings to light the crisis the province is in with the lack of affordable housing,” said Sharkey. A census was conducted recently and six homeless camps were found in Vernon, up from three during the spring. “When we started in 2009, there were 30 camps and we have hovered between three and five in the last few years,” said Sharkey. The increase in camps may be partially a result of the closure of the Green Valley Motel and its tenants not finding new residences. “We are also seeing more hot spots and party spots in public places,” said Sharkey. “With the Green Valley closure, we are seeing more of that activity in our parks.” While pleased with the collaborative community approach to homelessness, Sharkey admits more needs to be done in Vernon. “There are times when the shelter is full and people may not have a choice but to sleep outside,” she said. “We are still in need of more supported housing, in particular for women.”

Mayes reflects on time in Ottawa RICHARD ROLKE
C
Morning Star Staff
olin Mayes has control of his life again. After almost 10 years of assistants and party officials dictating his schedule, the newly retired North Okanagan-Shuswap MP has time in his workshop. “I always used to rush with projects because I had to be back on a plane to Ottawa,” said the 67-year-old. “Now if I don’t feel like working on it, I take the day off.” The former mayor of Salmon Arm was first elected to Parliament in 2006, but decided last year not to seek another term during the recent election. He’s pleased with his record in office. “It’s been so rewarding to see the fourlaning of Highway 97 from Armstrong to Kelowna and key work to the Trans-Canada Highway. And then there were projects like the new pool in Armstrong,” he said. “You’re there to help the community build. Coming from a municipal background, I appreciated the struggles communities experience with infrastructure.” Some issues were personal, including pushing to have parole ineligibility for sexual assault, abduction and murder go from 25 to 40 years. The motivation came after talking to Armstrong resident Marie Van Diest, whose 18-year-old daughter Taylor was murdered in 2011. “She didn’t want to relive it,” said Mayes of potential parole hearings for the individual convicted of the crime. Mayes’ private member’s bill wasn’t approved before Parliament was dissolved for the election.
LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR
Colin Mayes talks about his accomplishments and challenges while MP for almost a decade. Among his toughest decisions was voting to extend the Canadian military’s mission in Afghanistan in 2007. “You are taking responsibility to put them (soldiers) there. When someone came back in a box, you thought about that.” During his tenure, Mayes was a lightning rod for residents critical of the Conservative government. “It’s part of the job. If you are bitter, it will eat you up. If you are professional and keep cool, things will work out.” Mayes came under fire last year for com-
ments he made at a vigil for homeless individuals in Vernon. City of Vernon officials suggested Mayes had stated that homelessness isn’t a federal issue. “What I said was the government didn’t cause homelessness. There’s addiction or tragedies in people’s lives that caused that,” he said. For Mayes, a change in the last decade is what he believes is an increase in conspiracies fed by social media. “I get people talking about big agriculture taking over seeds and vapor trails after
planes. Why would we do that? With Bill C-51 (anti-terrorism legislation), people said the government was going to take over control. Why would we do that?” His faith gave him great strength, and particularly the weekly prayer breakfast on the Hill. “It put everything in context of what’s important in life. What’s important is how people remember you. Were you honest, do you have integrity? I was just a citizen with the privilege of serving in this position. You do your best but you don’t get wrapped up in the position.” One thing he won’t miss is Question Period. “It’s an insult to your intelligence. The opposition takes cheap shots and the government doesn’t necessarily respond in a responsible way. It was a real struggle to see men and women degraded that way,” he said. “I worked with opposition members who did great things and were good friends. Elizabeth May is a close friend but we are way apart in our politics.” Beyond his next project in the shop, Mayes hopes to speak to area students as a way of creating awareness about government and democracy. “I love that. They ask great questions,” he said. His wife Jackie and their children have decided that he’s done with politics, but Mayes isn’t closing the door completely. A constant rumour is that he will run for Salmon Arm mayor again. “You can’t relive the times of glory. I left as mayor on a high and left as MP on a high so it’s hard to relive those days,” he said.
Lake Country signs on to rail trail development RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Communities continue to embrace the process to establish a recreational corridor from Kelowna to Coldstream. On Tuesday, Lake Country council voted to join an inter-jurisdictional development team that will plan, design, finance, develop and maintain a trail along the former Canadian National track. “We want to make sure we are partners so we
have a say and a share of the cost,” said Mayor James Baker. Kelowna has already signed on to the team, and it’s anticipated that the Regional District of North Okanagan will also join. The jurisdictions spent $22 million to purchase the corridor. CN has until 2017 to complete track removal and environmental site remediation and local jurisdictions have stated that before work begins on the trail, there will be a planning process,
cost estimates and development phasing. Baker says that actual construction of the trail will depend on the financial capabilities of Lake Country and the other jurisdictions, but he is confident about the process. “I am pleased to see a collaborative manner so we’re not at logger-heads about how it develops.” Funding options for the trail include community fundraising and senior government grants.

Authority defends stance over water RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The Interior Health Authority insists it’s not the bad guy when it comes to Greater Vernon’s costly water challenges. Members of the master water plan stakeholder advisory committee were told Thursday that the Ministry of Health, not IHA, Parsonage sets standards for water protection. “We don’t make this stuff up,” said Roger Parsonage, regional director of health protection, adding that regulations are based on national and international guidelines. “They are not new standards imposed on B.C.” And while the timeline for infrastructure upgrades can be discussed, Parsonage says IHA doesn’t force certain upgrades. “IH won’t tell water suppliers what technology it needs to use to meet a treatment objective.”
However, Parsonage says there are implications if water quality standards are not met as health risks can be created. Questions arose as to why Greater Vernon must pursue filtration when Kelowna doesn’t. Parsonage says Kelowna’s domestic utility from Okanagan Lake qualifies for filtration deferral because protection criteria is being met but that situation could change in the future. “We are trying to balance our responsibilities to public health with our obligation to be balanced and fair to the agencies (utilities),” he said, adding that specific situations within utilities will be considered. The goal, he added, is to work with water suppliers and a capital works will not be ordered as long as the utility is working towards a plan. Most system upgrades are costly, but Parsonage says utilities must plan for improvements irrespective of possibly receiving government grants. “We regularly talk to the Ministry of Community Development about the need for grant funding for water and we regularly write letters of support for grant funding.”

goal is to create a permanent supply of affordable housing to meet the needs of local residents. “We will continue to partner with the provincial government and the City of Vernon to provide those valuable assets for those most at risk,” said Kolibaba. With affordable housing being a significant issue in the community, Mayor Akbal Mund is pleased to see Creekside Village being rejuvenated. “It’s a lot of partners that come together to make dreams come true for people,” he said.

remain out of jail and turn their life around. Presently, funding comes from the City of Vernon ($44,858) and the provincial government, as well as grants from some other local communities. In 2014, 73 per cent of the incidents handled by the society came from Vernon, 14 per cent were from Lumby, five per cent were from Armstrong and nine per cent were from elsewhere in the region. However, Clark says while a crime may have been committed in Vernon, the person involved may be from
another community. RDNO will consider the request to create a function for funding, but there is already some support. “You get so much bang for your buck in terms of policing costs because you take people out of the cycle of crime,” said Juliette Cunningham, Vernon director. Kevin Acton, Lumby director, supports restorative justice. “We’ve experienced it in Lumby and it worked well. To allow someone to learn from their first mistake and grow is great,” he said.

Chief waits for Ottawa’s first move KEVIN PARNELL Black Press
The chief of the Okanagan Indian Band says he’s taking a wait and see approach to the new Liberal government after last week’s federal election saw the Stephen Harper-led Conservative party ousted from power. OKIB chief Byron Louis says there was very little progress Byron Louis for First Nations people during the last 10 years under Harper’s regime and perhaps the only steps forward came in the number of indigenous people that actually got out to vote in the federal election. Louis himself, cast a ballot in his home riding of North Okanagan-Shuswap for the first time ever. “I’m 53 years old and this was my first time voting in my home riding and seeing
some of our members in their 70s voting was quite surprising,” said Louis. “I was quite surprised who I saw in the polling station (on the OKIB reserve). If you can credit Harper with anything it is getting us out to vote.” OKIB lands are split between KelownaLake Country, represented by Liberal Stephen Fuhr, and North OkanaganShuswap with Conservative Mel Arnold. Louis says the band will request a meeting with the MPs to discuss issues around the OKIB and First Nations people and he hopes the issues his band and others have been fighting for will be more respected under the Liberal government. Louis believes his members, like many First Nations across the country, were motivated to vote for a change in government. “I think in talking to people it was definitely a time for change,” said Louis. “There hasn’t been much progress in the last 10 years and we’re hoping there is going to be change with this government
and they live up to the commitments they have made. Promises are one thing, actions are another. I think it’s incumbent for the Liberals to live up to the promises they have made. They have a majority and they can actually make those changes so we are going to have to see if they live up to them.” Louis said the biggest issue for First Nations across the country is missing and murdered aboriginal women, something the Liberals have promised to look into with an official inquiry. But the OKIB chief says it’s not the only issue facing First Nations. “There are a lot of pressing issues,” he said. “Most notably the missing and murdered aboriginal women. But there is also the need to look at regulatory reform especially how socio-economic development should be a priority focus instead of just administering programs. Our grand chief Stewart Phillip has called it administering our poverty and that has to change.”

Electoral reform an issue after federal vote KATHY MICHAELS Black Press
The Liberals won a 54 per cent majority government Monday night with 39.5 per cent of voters putting their support behind them. The NDP will control 13 per cent of the House of Commons, despite winning 19.7 per cent of the popular vote. It’s a standard disparity given the first past the post electoral system, but the lingering question is whether or not campaign pledges of reform will be followed through on. Justin Trudeau, Liberal prime ministerdesignate, said in June he’d change the way parliamentarians are elected, if the Liberals were voted in.
First he promised to convene an all-party committee to study the options, then enact some replacement for the current first-pastthe-post system within 18 months of being sworn in. A system with ranked ballots, where second choices are counted in, was their preference. Stephen Fuhr, who won for the Liberals in Kelowna-Lake Country, says he was behind that plan when on the stump. “I agree that any solution to democratic reform in Canada should include an element of proportionality and I will advocate for such if I am elected,” said Fuhr. But, says one political analyst, it’s best not

to count on campaign promises once the election has been won — especially if it’s won with a majority. “I think electoral reform may be one of the casualties of a majority government,” said Hamish Telford, a political science professor at the University of the Fraser Valley. “If we had a minority, we would see movement on proportional representation or electoral reform…
that would have been the price that had to be paid for NDP or Green support, but now I expect to see it buried in study.” One way to do that without looking like he’s reneging on his word, is to bury the issue in a referendum. Although he said he wouldn’t raise the issue in that manner, given that voters have repeatedly rejected it in provincial referendums, it might be his best move
forward. “Then he can say, ‘let Canadians kill it, not me,’” said Telford.

N
ow, wasn’t that a party, er, election? Now it obviously depends on what side of the fence you tend to look at things from, but I think all Canadians should feel proud about an over 70 per cent turnout of voters and a democratic process that allows the smooth transfer of power based on the will of the people on election day. Three cheers for democracy. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t lessons to be learned from Election 2015, especially for the top three parties involved. And even though you’re likely tired of every Tom, Dick and Harriett giving their ‘expert’ analysis on what just happened I’ll give you my top 10 lists of glenn Mitchell things to contemplate for each of the three parties post-election. Top 10 things to think about for the Conservatives going forward: 10. Maybe we underestimated that ‘Justin’ guy a little too much. 9. Maybe, in hindsight, a very long campaign helped the underdog and hurt the incumbent. 8. Maybe a concentration on negative ads tends to be a bit much after awhile. 7. Maybe those ads with those actors poking holes in ‘Justin’s’ resume, although effective, are ultimately phoney and just gave the Grits an unforeseen rallying cry that he is ready, or at least ready enough. 6. At least we don’t have to worry about the resumption of the Mike Duffy trial. 5. Maybe it was kind of, sort of, about Stephen Harper in the end and riding off into the sunset a couple years ago with a pretty decent legacy intact might have been an idea, in hindsight. 4. Maybe cutting off the premiers and the media for the most part and concentrating power in the PMO doesn’t give you that much insight into how Canadians feel about things come election time.
MitChEll’S MuSingS
3. Maybe the Americans are on to something and two four-year mandates are enough for anyone cause they start to get tired of seeing you and your playmates representing us. 2. The left-right swing in this country comes back to bite you eventually. 1. Hey, we have time to regroup now, like four years worth of time. Top 10 things to think about for the NDP going forward: 10. Maybe toning things down and looking prime ministerial before you’re actually prime minister isn’t such a good idea after all. 9. Maybe believing the polls and playing it safe in general doesn’t inspire anybody. 8. Maybe strategic voting has its downside when they go for the other guy. 7. Maybe math that counts on Quebec seats that were obviously votes for Jack Layton isn’t math at all. 6. Maybe an NDP campaign that promises a balanced budget and increased spending everywhere else doesn’t quite ring true. 5. Maybe a campaign that focuses too much on stopping Harper is a non-starter. 4. Maybe for some reason apparently people will tell pollsters they’re voting for the NDP but when it comes to actually doing it.....just ask Adrian Dix. 3. Maybe facial hair worked better last millennium. 2. Maybe saying you’ll scrap a trade deal you haven’t seen is a little too old school NDP. 1. See Conservative No. 1 above. Top 10 things to think about for the Liberals going forward: 10. Whaddya talking about, we won, we obviously know what we’re doing? 9. We have two words for you, majority government. 8. Or to put it another way, 184 seats. 7. We’re ready. 6. He’s ready. 5. Justin, that is. 4. Justin Trudeau, of course. 3. At least I think we are. 2. Which way to the bathroom? 1. Stay tuned.
Abbotsford recently had its knuckles rapped over its handling of homeless citizens. The courts told the Fraser Valley community that its ban on sleeping in parks violated the Charter of Rights to security of persons. While no one wants tent cities permanently taking hold in public places, it appears the message from the court was that municipalities have to consider options to address the homeless instead of just the heavy hand. Case in point, is what’s happening in Vernon. Through a co-operative approach, the Social Planning Council, the City of Vernon’s bylaw compliance department, John Howard Society and other agencies identify homeless individuals and make them aware of critical services available to them. “This is a very unique partnership between bylaws and community outreach workers and not every city approaches homeless camps with this kind of collaboration,” said Annette Sharkey, with the Social Planning Council. It’s all about treating the homeless not as a stereotype or someone to be feared, but a member of the community who deserves respect and compassion. It is through this approach that Vernon has been able to reduce the number of homeless camps from 30 in 2009 to six this fall. However, the reality is that there are still homeless in Vernon and that means all levels of government and local agencies must continue to be vigilant. The solution is expanded access to affordable housing connected with support systems. But given the strong track record seen to date in Vernon, we know the issue is in good hands.

Let the voters decide
had sworn off my letters to the press and mainly city hall because, as a friend once said about this, "common sense is not well received and only encourages them." However, there have been articles published by the Vancouver Sun and The Morning Star, both extolling the virtues of their version of publicly funded facilities. What has made for interesting reading, are the approaches taken by each VAG (Vancouver/ Vernon art gallery). One expects the public to pay after their own substantial fund raising efforts have raised sufficient equity in their project and the other expects to have the public pay the bills. One has substantial guest visits and the other says they will have. Like so many other demands in our city, which do you think is the Vernon approach? Once again, the taxpayers of this community are being requested to fund an amenity, which may make sense, if money were no object. That is, as we all know, not the case in these restrictive financial times. If an art gallery is, as the proponents say, a draw to the community, then they need to have financial support proving this to the people who are funding it from taxpayer revenues. If you were to ask business to support this with an annual subsidy for debt retirement commitment out of JUST SAY NO Owners of Sugar Lake Development, formerly known as Kokanee Lodge, have applied to build a 30-slip marina on Sugar Lake at the head of the middle Shuswap River. Since this river is the "last clean watershed at our latitude," according to Claude Labine, chief scientific officer of Campbell Scientific, it is incumbent upon us to do all we can to protect it and it is well known that fast motor boats will have destructive impacts. The Wisconsin DNR study shows that: 1) Motor boats add metals and chemicals to water. 2) A certain amount of the fuel entering the motor is discharged
their cash flows, would they do it not knowing their own business future? And yet, in the next breath, the taxpayers are being requested to do so, as if they are in a better position to fund these and other facilities without any consideration for the overall tax burden for capital expenses and ongoing grants-in-aid for operating expenses. If the proponents wish to have a, "build it and they will come attitude," then fine, go build it but with your own money. Vernon city council and the lobbyists for these facilities continuously seem to adopt the position that Vernon can be everything to everybody, without considering that they have not accomplished any economic generators to assist in the payment for these facilities. unburned and ends up in the water. 3) this affects the pH and dissolved oxygen in the lake which negatively affects fish, all aquatic species and wildlife. 4) motor boats can cause algae bloom by churning up the lake bottom in shallow areas, stirring up sediment, re-suspending nutrients (phosphorus) that are at the lake’s bottom feeding algae and causing algae bloom. This stirring can also decrease the water clarity because of additional particles suspended in the water column. 5) motor boats create substantial noise pollution known to harm all aquatic animals as well as humans and wildlife in the surrounding area Freshwater organisms are among
So, if we all acknowledge this basic social and economic fact, we could move forward systematically, rather than proposing that the taxpayer can afford everything that is put to council and their electorate, who are expected to pay for them and subsidize them ad infinitum, just because it might be a worthy endeavor. As I have dealt with galleries in the past with my own sculpting art work, not once did I ever believe that any gallery should be subsidized, to any extent, to display and sell my art. Not all galleries are for-profit but I believe my point is taken when addressing public subsidies. I have no family playing sports here in Vernon and yet, given the math and reality, compare the halfa-million annual user visits to the recreation complex or the enormous
number of residents playing hockey, ringette, curling, etc. Adults, children and teens, all using and paying for twice, through taxes and their respective sports groups fees. If there are limited funds available, then spend it where it is utilized to the maximum benefit and especially since they are paying for it in many different ways. Paying taxes now for what might be is why this country, and many others, are in, at best, tenuous domestic and international positions. Have publicly-funded requests prove their commitment and financial reserves to any given project before assuming that they will be successful and not a drain on the public coffers. So what is "embarrassing," as quoted in both your articles about the current gallery request, is that once again the taxpayer is being bullied into believing that this is a priority for the taxpayers of Vernon. If council thinks that this proposal, along with water works upgrades that should have been addressed previously, a new museum, ice rinks and cost overruns on prior facilities are all acceptable to the public, then why don't they roll the dice and put all of these, and any others you are contemplating, on one referendum and let democracy take its course?

the most imperilled worldwide and are facing the largest decreases in biodiversity due to combined threats of development, climate change, and invasive species. There are ample opportunities for the new owners to develop that property in a non-damaging way. More people want to visit this area because of its safe, clean surroundings and because it is one of the rare places where they can canoe, kayak, tube and swim in peace and quiet. Turning the lodge into this kind of haven would be compatible with the community's wishes while protecting its environment, building an economy that is sustainable. There are already so many lakes
for fast boats, making quiet recreation impossible, why should we ruin the few that are left? There are two things you can do to help protect the lake and river: Call RDNO at 550-3700 or e-mail sustainability@rdno.ca to say you would like them to limit motor sizes on Sugar Lake and the middle Shuswap River so fishing boats can use it but no fast motor boats Call 1-800-663-7867 to say this is about file #3412953 or go to: http:// arfd.gov.bc.ca/ApplicationPosting/ viewpost.jsp?PostID=49900scroll to "end decisions" and click on "here” to say that you do not wish to see a marina on Sugar Lake.

FUEL COSTS I had to go to Port Coquitlam recently and I got to Chilliwack to gas up. The price was 98.9 cents a litre at all gas stations. I asked, "How long?" I was told, "A while." Hmm, good enough for me. I phoned the MLA to comment, to which the company standard response came forward. It got me to thinking that maybe we should have a 20-odd cent gas tax here so our price will be similar or better than the coast? Bob Johnston

Warriors ice Vipers 3-2 KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Bigger, faster, stronger and much better playing without the puck. That sums up the West Kelowna Warriors, who grounded the Vernon Vipers 3-2 in B.C. Hockey League play Friday night before 1,747 fans at Kal Tire Place. Only Viper goalie Andrew Shortridge, who was the best player on the ice, kept the game even remotely close. West Kelowna outshot Vernon 48-26, including a 21-10 margin in the opening 20 minutes. Stephen Heslop went the distance in the Warriors net, making huge successive stops off McCarthy and Brandt with 7:26 left in the second period. Heslop was otherwise a spectator, facing just eight shots in each of the second and third periods. Viper head coach Mark Ferner again saw a team unable to play a 200-foot game for a full 60 minutes. “We’re disappointed,” said Ferner. “We knew they were a good team coming in, but you can’t expect to win hockey games when you give up 50 shots a night. We had a good talk in there and we need players that are committed to the right thing, willing to do things that don’t show up on the scoresheet. We need players that are willing to play in all three zones and tonight, we just didn’t have that. We didn’t have urgency and we didn’t have enough accountability, not only to what we were doing, but also to each other and what’s important. “I like our group, don’t get me wrong, but tonight we were the lesser team by far. We’ve got some offensive minded guys, but you can score 30 goals at this level and that
will translate to maybe five in college. But if you can’t play defence, you can’t play.” West Kelowna captain Kyle Marino loved his team’s compete level as they improved to 8-5-0-2. “We were down early, but there’s no quit in us. This was a big game and we needed it as a team and we weren’t gonna let this one go. They came pretty hard at the start and we weren’t ready for ‘em. As the game went on, we started playing playing better, getting pucks deep and taking care of the puck more. “We’re still new as a group, we’ve got a lot of new guys and we’re a good team and we’re gonna get rolling pretty soon.” On the Vipers, the Niagara Falls product said: “They’re a LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR little bit smaller and a lot faster Hunter Zandee (right) of the Vernon Vipers gets his stick on the puck as he battles Kristian Blumenschein of the than they were last year.

Blue Wave swamp winless Maroons in Kamloops The Westsyde Blue Wave rolled over the Fulton Maroons 30-14 in Interior Senior Boys AA Football League action Friday night at Hillside Stadium in Kamloops. Both teams had short rosters with most players going both ways in a battle that was 17-7 Blue Wave at the half. This was a bad loss in a season of bad losses,” said Fulton head coach Mike Scheller.
“We have played a very tough exhibition schedule and have been outmatched in many of our games. The teams we have played have been better than us and simply physically better. Westsyde is a team we matched up very well with, and frankly, we had a great shot at winning this game and should have.

The Seaton Sonics kept their North Zone Junior Girls Volleyball League record clean with wins over VSS Panthers and Vernon Christian School Royals in Thursday night league play at Seaton. Kendra Kryszak coached the Sonics alone with vice principal Jeff Huggins unable to make the matches. First up was VSS where with strong serving from powers Wynter Vanderveen and Alyssa Racine and strong plays at the net from middles Maisa Orosz and Ella Oduro helping Seaton prevail in straight games (2523, 25-14). Maddie Roemer and Gabby Triggs had some great sets allowing Seaton some powerful hits while libero Rose Harned defended with some great digs. The second match versus Vernon Christian saw Seaton lose their first league set 26-24, before coming back to win the match. VCS had some great serving and great hits, but
Gabby Triggs was a serving machine, and sets from Mason Christensen allowed Dana Kievit and Ella Oduro to make some great kills. Hannah McCaffrey had a great block to shut down the VCS hitters helping Seaton to a 25-12 victory in Game 2. The third set went to Seaton 15-10. The first-place Sonics play league matches Thursday night at Kal. against Fulton Maroons (6 p.m.) and the host Lakers at 7:30 p.m. The North Zone Southern Division playoffs go Thursday, Nov. 5 hosted by the league champions.

The Vernon Venom U12 ringette team needed a balanced attack to score 25 goals in two Thompson Okanagan Ringette League games Saturday in Salmon Arm. In Game 1, a 12-6 win against the hosts, Kristen Francks made a pass to Makenna Jackson, who flipped the ring top corner 49 seconds into the first period. Two minutes later, Jackson fed Francks for her first goal to take a 2-0 lead. Salmon Arm answered back with a goal, but Vernon attacked for two more goals apiece from Jackson and Francks, and solo markers from Sierra Fernley, Taylor Hewitt, Hillary Quiring, Caryss Hill, Brianna Visser, and Aimee Skinner. Strong defensive play was provided by Amelia Johnson in support of Jordan Tung. In the second game, 12 goals wouldn’t be enough, and the Venom needed a baker’s dozen to post a 13-12 decision over the Kelowna Renegades. After jumping out to a 3-0 lead with two goals from Skinner and one from Quiring, the Renegades lived up to their name, causing trouble for Vernon by scoring two before the period was over, with Vernon holding on to a 3-2 lead at the half. In the second half both teams scored 10 times. Vernon had two more from Skinner, three each from Jackson and Francks, and singles from Fernley and Zion White. Kelowna scored with 13 seconds left to climb to within one goal, but Vernon was able to run down the clock. Tung made some timely saves to preserve the victory. The Vernon Storm U12 squad won its seasonopening doubleheader. The Storm blew through Kelowna 8-2. Chayse Krause got a hat-trick. Sierra Lockhead and Rhys Taylor-Hawes contributed two goals each, assisted by Jasmine Horton. Alicia Hughes helped out with a goal and an assist. The Storm then crushed the Westside Wildfire 4-0. Goalie Katrina Winstanley got the shutout with strong defensive help from Miah Cohen, Shaila Austin and Sam Shaw. Astrid Beatty highlighted the offence with 1+1. Adding singles were Shaila Austin, Lockhead and Taylor-Hawes. Vernon Ignite beat Shuswap 7-3 in the U14 Tween Division opener for both teams. Kaila Summerfelt was amazing in net for the Ignite, who were sparked offensively by 4+1 from Kristin Ho, 1+2 from Alassa Johnson and singles from Grace Cornell and Amy Demetrick. Mackinze Gilman had two assists, Julie Francis and Abby Sveistrup both added helpers while Faith Reynolds and Tara Charlton skated hard. The Vernon U10 Crushers struck hard and often in a 23-3 ambush of the Kelowna Avalanche in their first of three games in Salmon Arm Play Days. In Game 2, the Crushers defeated another Kelowna team 17-3. Madison Edgar, Lauren Cooke and Devyn Hildebrand each had hat tricks to put the Crushers up early. Rory Lang, Emily Gilman and Kennedy Jackson each potted two goals while Lucia Manton and Verity White had singles. Natasha Vienneau was impressive in her debut in net for the Crushers. Vernon finished with a 9-4 victory over the Westside Ring Raiders. Jackson earned 3+1, while Cooke and Manton each had two goals. Edgar and Vienneau each sniped one goal. The Vernon Velocity U16B squad stormed from behind for a 7-7 draw. Goalie Aleisha Smith was sensational before speedy Ashly Saunders opened the Velocity scoring, finishing off an excellent passing play from Miranda Chapple and Jillian Pipke. Chapple also added two goals. German exchange student Kinjal Koehler translated a breakaway pass from Georgia Lannon into a nifty goal at 1:44 of the first period to make it 3 -2 for Shuswap. Lannon also added one more assist and a breakaway goal later in the game.

Ringette out for new kids JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
In an effort to score some new players, Greater Vernon Ringette is opening up the rink to the public. “Ringette is just like hockey, only faster,” said Coralee Hamilton, whose two daughters play and love the game. Ringette, like hockey, is played on ice with skates and sticks with five players and a goalie per team on the ice. While the objective is to score, the emphasis is on play-making and skating skills. Anyone who is interested in sharpening up their skating skills through the sport of ringette is encouraged to come try it out for free Saturday, Nov. 7 at 1 p.m. at Kal Tire Place. “In Vernon anyone (boy or girl) can join,” said Hamilton, as ages four and up can sign up. Registration is ongoing for the season which runs from September to March, concluding with a tournament in Kelowna. Practices are held once a week for U9’s, twice a week for other age groups, and all have a game on the weekend. Vernon plays teams from Westside to Salmon Arm. “Ringette is a super fast heads-up game, with a few more rules than hockey; kids have to look for passes and keep track of where the other team mates are,” said Hamilton. “Ringette truly teaches kids to work together as a team to score goals.” The sport is also filled with friendships, both on the ice and on the parents’ bench. “I hear nightmare stories about sports parents

Kids can come try their hand at ringette during a free event Saturday, Nov. 7 at Kal Tire Place at 1 p.m. and how crazy they are we have two kids on two teams and the parents are all great along with the kids,” said Hamilton. “For us it had been a great experience, on all aspects.” As a hockey player, Hamilton sees amazing benefits from the sport, and she urges anyone who thinks otherwise to come out Nov. 7. “I would ask anyone that thinks ringette is just for girls or stupid or easy to seriously put on some skates and come catch a ring.” For more information, visit Vernonringette.com, check out the Greater Vernon Ringette Facebook page or email Lisa Quiring at dlquiring@gmail.com

WALES - In Wales, you can hardly travel more than a few kilometres before stubbing your toes on towering piles of blood-andhistory-stained stones. Stone castles, that is. They come in many sizes, shapes and states of repair. Some are faint traces on hilltops, while others are thumping great fortifications in city centres, barely changed over the centuries. Many were erected during the conquest of Wales. Others are native, built by Welsh princes to protect their lands against marauders and even each other. The history of Wales is written in these walls. I arrived in Cardiff, one of the most beautiful cities in the United Kingdom, to find Cardiff Castle smack in the heart of downtown. It was built in the late 11th century by Norman invaders on top of a third century Roman fort. In the mid18th century, after eons of blood and conflict, Cardiff Castle passed to the marquesses of Bute, who have held it for six generations. They made numerous renovations and remodeled the castle in a magnificent Gothic revival style. But ghosts linger. I toured the castle as darkness was falling
the ruins of a castle built in the 13th century, probably atop an earlier Norman ringwork castle. In 1584, Elizabeth I granted Laugharne Castle to Sir John Parrott, said to have been the illegitimate son of Henry VIII, who transformed it into a Tudor mansion. It was besieged and severely damaged during the Civil War in the 1640s. I wandered through the formal garden and climbed the towers for HANS TAMMEMAGI PHOTO views over the town and Laugharne Castle was granted to Sir John Parrott, the Taf estuary.

Silver Star enters into agreement with Whistler Blackcomb Morning Star Staff
Silver Star Mountain Resort season passholders are getting an additional benefit. Holders of a 2015/16 alpine season pass will receive a 25 per cent discount on single-day and multi-day tickets at Whistler Blackcomb with no blackout dates. In addition, North Okanagan skiers will get the chance to stretch their ski season well into late May with Whistler Blackcomb’s extended spring skiing. “We are continuously looking for new and exciting ways
to add value for our season passholders,” said Dave Brownlie, Whistler Blackcomb president. “We look forward to welcoming Silver Star passholders this winter so that they can come and experience what skiing and riding in Whistler is all about.” Whistler Blackcomb is North America’s largest ski resort with more than 8,100 acres of varied terrain and a mile-high vertical. “We’re thrilled to offer this great added value to our passholders,” said Ken Derpak, Silver Star’s managing director.
“Partnering with Whistler Blackcomb in its 50th anniversary year is really exciting for us and a fantastic value-add for our guests.” The array of bonuses the Star’s season passholders receive includes access to 39 free ski days at Powder Alliance member resorts, a collection of 14 ski resorts throughout North America. Silver Star is anticipating an alpine opening Nov. 26, with the nordic trails expected to be ready for the new season Nov. 12.

Speaking of the cabin
our family has always had a great time at your cabin, so it’s natural to assume you’ll be handing it off to your family after you’re gone. But if you don’t ask your adult children what they really want and plan for the tax consequences that may not happen. Here are a few essential cabin succession planning steps you should take. Talk to your adult children now and find out who wants to take on the responsibilities and who doesn’t. Then avoid future family squabbles by making arrangements so your non-cabin inheritors will be treated fairly in your will. Unless you’re passing assets to a spouse, when you die you are deemed to have disposed of your capital assets at fair market Andy Erickson value – meaning if your cabin property has appreciated in value, your estate will face a significant capital gains tax liability. You do have the benefit of a principal residence tax exemption but you can apply it to just one property at a time and that can be either your cabin or your city home but the one you don’t choose will be subject to tax on its increased value. There will be tax consequences if your leave the property to your children in your will – so make sure there will be sufficient
GUEST COLUMN
funds in your estate to pay any tax liabilities. Life insurance can be a good strategy for covering the capital gains on your cottage. The death benefits are usually tax-free and can be used as a ready source of cash to avoid a forced sale, to pay capital gains taxes, or to equalize your estate among cabin inheritors and noncabin inheritors. Trying to escape paying tax by transferring your cabin to your children during your lifetime won’t work. It will trigger an immediate capital gain at the ‘fair market value’ of the property. And if you sell your children your cabin at less than ‘fair market value’ you will still have to pay tax on the real price but your children will be deemed to have paid the lower price resulting in double taxation when they sell the cabin. The only advantage of transferring part or complete ownership during your lifetime is that the amount of the gain taxable in your hands is ‘capped’ at the time of the gift or sale. It’s a good idea to plan now for the succession of your cabin – and the rest of your estate, for that matter. Your professional and legal advisors can help you work through the options that are best for you. Andy Erickson is the division director with Investors Group, Vernon.

Dave Thackray has been named as the first recipient of the Spirit of John Howard award. This annual award, from the John Howard Society of the North Okanagan, is given to someone in the community who has shown a commitment to social justice and encompasses compassion and respect for the most marginalized of people. “We are honoured

to be able to recognize Dave Thackray and his commitment to this community, “said Kelly Fehr, program director of the John Howard Society. Thackray is a former probation officer, with 26 years of service between Prince George and Vernon, and recently retired as an outreach alcohol and drug clinician with Interior Health, where he worked closely with the John Howard Society. “At first he was a key partner in JHSNOK’s Harm Reduction Addiction’s Recovery Program. He mentored staff in how to be just and fair in all circumstances and supported clients in a compassionate way while holding people accountable

for their actions,” said Fehr. In 2013 he became part of Interior Health’s primary health clinic and alcohol and drug outreach program. He continued his working relationship with the John Howard Society and started working directly with the Gateway Shelter and the most marginalized of JHSNOK’s clients. Thackray retired in September and plans to enjoy time with his wife Viv and his children Sam and Cassie, as well as making time for his hobbies that include hockey, skiing, golf and playing with his band Feet First. “I’m entirely grateful for the John Howard Society for making my work so much easier,” said Thackray.

Light A Bulb for Hips and Knees Every year, community members eagerly anticipate the lighting of the tree atop the Hospital to mark the VJH Foundation’s annual Light a Bulb campaign. Since 1988, Light a Bulb has raised more than $4 million to purchase life-saving equipment for Vernon Jubilee Hospital. This year’s launch will take place Thursday, November 12th from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Vernon Jubilee Hospital, with KISS FM broadcasting on location. “Donations will be designated to purchasing surgical equipment for the orthopaedic team at VJH. This additional equipment will enable surgeons to perform more hip and knee surgeries, reducing wait times for patients,” said 2015 Light a Bulb Campaign Chair, Marg Bailey. Aging joints (hips and knees) and fractures are some of the greatest challenges we all face as we age. As Canadians grow older, so does the demand for orthopaedic care. This results in hospitals experiencing greater access pressures and increased wait times for surgeries. The Vernon Jubilee Hospital Orthopaedic team is ready to increase the number of hip and knee surgeries but needs additional equipment to do this. Imagine helping to reduce surgical wait times for your friends, neighbours and loved ones. Last year, 285 hip surgeries and 255 knee surgeries were performed at VJH. Currently there are 171 individuals waiting for hip surgery and 432 waiting for knee surgery. “The North Okanagan has experienced a significant increase in requirement of this life improving surgical service over the past number of years. This has resulted in
extremely long wait times for the provision of these procedures, negatively impacting the quality of life of individuals on these wait lists. “One such reason is the relatively insufficient quantity of specialized surgical instrumentation required to provide quality care at a volume that would help decrease these long wait times. An increased inventory of such instrumentation would provide us the opportunity to complete more joint replacement procedures on a daily basis and as such help bring wait times more in line with provincial and nationally recognized standards,” said Dr. Paul Dooley, Orthopaedic Surgeon at VJH. With the opening of Polson Tower and the increased number of surgical suites, VJH has the facility and staff to reduce the wait times for hip and knee surgeries. But we now need the funds to purchase more surgical tools to perform these surgeries. Additional surgical sets will help surgeons significantly reduce the wait times for these critical procedures. Anyone who has experienced bone and joint pain realizes how reduced wait times for surgery will decrease pain and increase mobility, allowing patients to get back to normal activity quicker. Your donation will dramatically increase the quality of life for those waiting for orthopaedic surgeries. Look for the 2015 Light a Bulb donation brochure in your mailbox the 2nd week of November or use the donation form on Page 3 of Heart Beat. You can also donate online at www.vjhfoundation.org. Thirtyfive dollars lights a bulb and $500 lights a whole string and every donation brings us closer to our goal! The Light a Bulb Campaign runs until December 31.
VJH Foundation Completes $2.5 Million Building A Tower of Care Campaign A Year Early On September 23rd, the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation hosted a celebration at VJH to announce the completion of the Building a Tower of Care Campaign, Phase II. “Due to the generosity of the North Okanagan community and beyond, Tower of Care, Phase II has been a great success, surpassing its goal of $2.5 million in less than two years,” said Elise Allan, VJH Foundation President. Any additional funds raised from this campaign will be directed to refurbishing the vacated space on 2nd and 3rd floors of the Jubilee Building at VJH.
contributions were less than $500,” said Campaign Co-Chair Chris Cunningham. “Every donation made an impact in helping us achieve our mission to support health care in the North Okanagan.”
On Ouchs, Myrika Godard, Rob Tedham, Richard Rolke and Peter Hill helped celebrate the announcement of the completion of the Tower of Care Campagn, Phase II
The Campaign was launched in November 2013, to raise funds to equip and furnish the top two floors of Polson Tower addressing capacity issues at VJH.
Allan thanked the Campaign Leadership volunteers including CoChairs Dr. Chris Cunningham and Richard Finn, Myrika Godard, Peter Hill, Gurjit Jhajj, Darryl O’Brian, On Ouchs and Rob Tedham.
“We anticipated this to be a three-year fundraising initiative,” said Campaign Co-Chair Richard Finn. “Finishing a year early is a testament to the generosity and determination of North Okanagan residents, businesses and organizations. These past two years have been an incredible experience, seeing our community joining together and making positive advancements for our families, our friends and our neighbours.”
Construction is anticipated to be completed by October 31, 2015. From November to January, equipment will be installed, staff will receive training on new procedures and equipment usage, and terminal sanitizing cleaning will take place. Inpatients on the 2nd and 3rd floors will be moved onto the new floors in the New Year, with direct admissions to the 6th and 7th floors scheduled to take place shortly thereafter.
The campaign was bolstered by major gifts from the Kiwanis Club of Vernon - Four Seasons, whose $250,000 donation resulted in an opportunity to name the 6th Floor of the Tower. The Armstrong/Spallumcheen Health Care Auxiliary donated $110,000 from proceeds of sales at the Bargain Bin thrift store in Armstrong. The 4th, 5th and 6th annual VJH Foundation Charity Classic Golf Tournament sponsored by TELUS and Predator Ridge Resort raised $528,780.62 net for the Campaign, while the Foundation’s Light a Bulb 2013 and 2014 campaigns raised a combined $504,108.
Four semi-private and 22 single-bed rooms per floor will promote improved patient experience with access to natural light and views, decreased noise levels, a family and nursing zone in every room, and improved infection control features. Every bed will include a patient lift to decrease incidents of falls and staff injuries.
“It is also important to acknowledge that a significant number of campaign
Each floor will feature a Quiet Room, Nourishment Centre, Tub & Shower Room, Rehabilitation room, as well as an Airborne Isolation Room designed to reduce infections.

Helping Hands and Giving Hearts Life’s journey can take us all over the map, but if you’re grounded, your roots stay strong along the way. James and Alberta Bird travelled down many roads, through wheat fields to oilfields, up the mountains and to the valley. And wherever they went, helping others has been an enduring part of their lives.
“We chose Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation because we know where the money goes, and how it is being used,” she said. “It doesn’t matter what medical problem you have, you need the resources of the hospital.” The Birds know first-hand about local health care. James has had to use Vernon Jubilee Hospital a number of times over the past eight years.
James was born in the heart of Canada’s breadbasket, Rouleau, Saskatchewan, which also has a distinction as the setting of fictional town of Dog River in the popular TV series, Corner Gas.
“I have lots of experience at the hospital,” he chuckled. James’ first surgery was more eventful than anticipated. Unaccustomed to the flurry of preparatory procedures, he passed out when the IV was administered.
“Things with charity were different then,” he said. “Growing up, we never heard of charities, but if people needed anything, your neighbours were there for you. If someone’s house burned down, you helped them build another one.”
“I just wanted to test the emergency equipment,” he joked. “It lengthened my stay a bit, but then I got better and went home.” His subsequent experiences at the hospital were much better. In November 2008, James had surgery on the other knee, and over the past several years has had two carpal tunnel surgeries and a surgery on his shoulder.
Due to his severe hay fever, farming life was not to be for James. Instead his path took him to Regina where he joined the RCMP, which led to a 35-year career in the force. During this time he met and married Alberta and the two raised a family of two daughters and son. The couple celebrated their 53rd wedding anniversary in September.
“Between Dr. O’Brian and my physiotherapy, they did a fabulous job getting my arm working again.” James has also received two cataract surgeries at the Lions Vision Centre in Armstrong. VJH Foundation also provides funding for equipment and staff training at the Centre.
Alberta spent her early years on a farm south of Leduc, later moving to the city when her father began working in the oil industry. These close-knit communities instilled in her a life-long concern and caring for others.
“I’ve used all the equipment. I am going to be bionic soon,” he joked. “The only time I go to the hospital is when he is there,” said Alberta. “The nurses were excellent; some were absolutely phenomenal. They work 12-hr shifts and are still helpful and cheerful. How do they do this?”
Her 28-year career at Scotiabank led to involvement in a variety of charitable activities. “We received many requests from a lot of different organizations and gave to some great causes,” she said.

The Birds settled in Vernon in 1994. “We liked the central location, the health care staff needs modern medical equipment to continue delivering exceptional weather, and being able to spend time skiing and golfing,” said Alberta. care. The Birds began donating to Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation in 2004, contributing “Not enough money goes to health care. To make up the difference, it has to come nearly $8,000 towards urgently-needed medical equipment, staff training and from somewhere,” said Alberta. “We donate because we need to. It’s just one of the community health programs. things we do.” “With so many causes out there asking for donations, we made a decision to pick one,” said Alberta.

An ancient Celtic harvest festival planted the seed for what we now call Halloween. The Celts called it Samhain and was celebrated Oct. 31, the day the Celts believed the boundary between the living and the dead was at its weakest. Through the centuries, the Romans, the Irish, the Christians and many more added their little bit to what became our Halloween of today. Pumpkins replaced turnips for carving jack-o-lanterns and by the 20th century Halloween became just another commercial venture. It may be hard to believe but in 2011 Canadians spent $350 million on candy products just for Halloween. Pretty ridiculous! Today’s recipes include ideas for a Halloween party or gathering. Have fun with them. Witch Fingers with Chili Swamp Dip 454g pack of 8 chili pork sausages* 8 rashers of bacon 8 flaked almonds 2 Tbsp. sweet chili sauce For the chili dip: 4 Tbsp. sweet chili sauce 50g light cream cheese 1/2 x 170g pot 0% Greek yogurt *If you aren’t a fan of spice, use normal pork sausages Preheat the oven to 200 C/400 F. Line a baking tray with grease-proof baking paper. For the witches’ fingers: Wrap each sausage in a rasher of bacon starting 2 cm in from the end of each sausage. Place on the lined baking tray and spoon over 2 Tbsp. of sweet chili sauce, and bake in the oven for 30 minutes, turning if necessary. Remove and allow to cool for 5 mins. Meanwhile for the chili dip: Mix the cream cheese, yogurt and 1 Tbsp. of sweet chili sauce and place in a bowl and top with the remaining sweet chili sauce. Using a sharp knife, cut a small slit, 1 cm in from the end, just under the skin of each sausage where the bacon isn’t wrapped, and slide an almond in to make a fingernail. Place the sausages at differing heights into the dip, with the fingernails pointing outwards, and serve. Halloween Cookies on a Stick 1 cup butter or margarine, softened 3/4 cup granulated sugar 3/4 cup light brown sugar 1 tsp. vanilla extract 2 eggs 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Sausages and bacon become witches’ fingers. 1/3 cup HERSHEY’S Cocoa 1 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt 18 wooden popsicle sticks Decorating icing Heat oven to 350 F (180 C). Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in a large bowl on medium speed of mixer until creamy. Add eggs; beat well. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well-blended. Drop dough by scant 1/4 cupfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet, about 3 inches (7.5 cm) apart. Shape into balls. Insert wooden stick about halfway into centre of each. Flatten slightly. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set. Cool 3 minutes; carefully remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. Decorate as desired with decorating icing. Makes about 18 3 1/2-inch (8 cm) cookies. Pecan Caramel Sliders 1- 1/2 cups toasted pecans 1 cup heavy cream 1 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup light corn syrup 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, in pieces 1/4 teaspoon salt 5 ounces thin black licorice strands, cut into 2-inch pieces 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped 4 ounces milk chocolate, chopped Chocolate curls or jimmies, optional Line 2 baking sheets with waxed paper, and lightly spray with nonstick spray. Mound 30 small clusters of pecans, about 3 or 4 pecans each, spaced a couple inches apart on the pan. Make caramel: Warm the cream over low heat and keep warm while you cook the sugar. Put the sugar and corn syrup in a deep,

Stop stirring, raise heat to medium-high, and simmer until the sugar reaches the hard crack stage, or 305 degrees F on a candy thermometer, about 7 minutes. Whisk the butter and salt into the sugar mixture. Gradually pour in the cream and vanilla, taking care since the mixture will bubble up. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar reaches soft ball stage, 240 degrees F on the thermometer, about 5 minutes more. Immediately remove from the heat and cool for a minute. Ladle a couple tablespoons of warm caramel over some of the nut clusters, to make the spider bodies. Then press six pieces of licorice into the warm caramel to make the legs. Repeat with the remaining caramel and licorice. (It’s helpful to have an extra hand here, since the caramel can set quickly. If caramel hardens, warm over very low heat.) Let spiders cool 15 minutes. Meanwhile, put the chocolates in a medium heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with 1-inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl over, but not touching, the water. Stir the chocolate occasionally until melted and
smooth. (Alternatively, put the chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Melt at 50 per cent power in the microwave until soft, about 1 minute. Stir, and continue heating until completely melted, 2 to 3 minutes more.) Spoon about 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate on top of each spider. Sprinkle with jimmies or chocolate curls, if desired. Let cool until firm. Fluffy Caramel Apple Dip 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup marshmallow creme 3 medium tart apples 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 tablespoons water In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, brown sugar, caramel topping and vanilla until smooth; fold in marshmallow creme. Cut apples vertically into thin slices. In a small bowl, combine lemon juice and water; toss apples in lemon juice mixture. Drain. Using Halloween cutters, cut out the centre of each slice. Serve apple slices and cutouts with dip. Yield: 2 cups.

Canadians standing together
T
hroughout the election campaign, what caught my eye on many occasions were comments, speeches, letters from Canadians expressing concern that we had lost our way as Canadians. That we had become a nation led by fear, and had become cold and mean, bullies even. That’s not my Canada. When the Conservative govMichele Blais ernment recommended that the RCMP would start a service where citizens could report “barbaric cultural practices” it confirmed for me we had lost our way, or rather some of us had. There is an expression, “instead of building higher fences, build longer tables.” Why not have a website where Canadians can share ideas on how they are learning more about their neighbours, learning the whys about different cultural practices, how we can build community, strengthen our neighbourhoods and our country. How we can work together side by side. “Conservatives are not our enemies, they are our neighbours,” said Justin
the way i see it
Trudeau in his election night speech Oct. 19. Naheed Nenshi, the mayor of Calgary, is himself a son of parents who immigrated here. In a letter to The Globe and Mail Oct. 16, he describes his family’s story (which I paraphrase here): “It’s a very Canadian story of struggle, service, sweat and, ultimately, success. Many Canadians have such an origin story. With each telling, we share in the story of who we are. These stories tell us about when Canada works. And when Canada works, it works better than anywhere. “At our best, we’ve figured out a simple truth: We’re in this together. Our neighbour’s strength is our strength. The success of any one of us is the success of every one of us. More importantly, any one failure is all our failure, too. “When Canada works, it is because of that tolerance and respect for pluralism, that generous sharing of opportunity with everyone. It is because of that innate sense that every one of us, regardless of where we come from, what we look like, how we worship or whom we love, deserves the chance right here, right now, to live a great Canadian life. “That Canada, however, is incredibly fragile, and must be protected from the voices of intolerance, divisiveness and small-mindedness. That Canada must be
protected from the voices of hatred. “And then it means exporting the very best of Canada, that ideal and real Canada, to the rest of the world. Yes, I’m naive to believe we still have something special to share. In my city, we have a program, 3 Things for Calgary, that challenges every citizen to take at least three actions, large or small, using their own passions and resources, to make their community better. Let us start 3 Things for Canada and dare each other to take actions that will build our local, national, and global communities with our true, aspirational Canadian values.” I like this idea of “3 Things for Canada.” It can be accomplished by all of us, from pre-school children to our elders. We can all make this country even greater than it is. I suggest we take this idea to our city council and next year on Canada Day have display boards in the park listing or showing photographs of what our citizens did to make this a better city and country. There are going to be many struggles ahead and this is going to take time. We are a great country, and each government does some good and some lose sight of who they are governing. Stand tall and proud and remember that we are the lucky ones, Canadians. I believe we are the envy of the world, and together we are better.

Women add their voices to manouche jazz Guitarist Christine Tassan puts the ‘e’ in les Imposteures to play the music made famous by Django Reinhardt Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
Canada may have given birth to the “First Lady of the Guitar,” Liona Boyd, but there have been many women since who have excelled on the instrument predominated by men. Adopted Quebecer Christine Tassan is one of them. The French-born guitarist and her band play a style of music that has typically been associated with male players and in particular, gypsy-jazz guitar godfather Django Reinhardt. Although Reinhardt is an inspiration, Tassan et les Imposteures (the e at the end of the band’s name refers to their gender and is a cheeky reference that they are women who play male-centric gypsy music) put their own spin on “manouche” gypsy-jazz swing, à la Quintette du Hot Club de France. “I understand it from a cultural point of view that it’s mostly men that play this kind of music and why it’s tough to find women who are not from a gypsy community to play this music,” said Tassan, who with les Imposteures plays the second concert of the North Okanagan Community Concert season, Nov. 1 at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. “We like the freedom of changing things up and giving more variety to the different styles. It is not pure gypsy-jazz.” Tassan and her fellow musicians’ backgrounds are as diverse as their music. Born in France, Tassan began studying classical guitar when she was 11 and later immigrated to Montreal in 1994 to continue her studies – in engineering – at McGill University. “I worked for 10 years as an electrical engineer and quit engineering to go into music

Guitarist Christine tassan, right, et les imposteures perform gypsy jazz and more when they take the stage at the Vernon Performing arts Centre sunday, nov. 1. full time about 13 years ago,” said Tassan, adding, “I know a lot of engineers who are also musicians.” Tassan started performing her own songs as a folk singer and guitarist, but says she always added a jazz influence to her music. “I listened to a lot of CDs from Django and saw (jazz guitarist) Angelo Debarre when he came to play in Montreal to do an homage to Django. That was a big influence,” she said. Already friends, Tassan teamed up with fellow musician, rhythm guitarist Lise-Anne Ross (who is unable to make the B.C. tour), who has a background in jazz, and violinist Martine Gaumond, who comes from a classical background and also plays traditional Québécois music. After replacing their bassist a few times, the women more recently added Blanche Baillargeon to the lineup. (Baillargeon also plays and sings music from the ‘50s, and is
in an all-female tribute to Louis Armstrong called Miss Satchmo.) “Compared to other gypsy-jazz groups, we are instrumentalists, but we also sing and combine our voices into three and four-part harmonies,” said Tassan. That will be evident when the women perform songs in both French and English, as well as instrumentals from their last three albums, including latest C’est l’heure de l’Apéro, which translated means ‘happy hour.” Tassan et les Imposteures will also perform some of the material from their upcoming fourth album, Entre Félix et Django. “It’s based on the meeting that Django had with Félix Leclerc, the greatest folk singer to come out of Québec,” said Tassan. Opening for Tassan et les Imposteures is another female voice in the form of 21-yearold Vernon vocalist Jenae Van Gameren, who is working towards completing her

degree in vocal performance with the Royal Conservatory of Toronto. Van Gameren has studied and trained for 13 years with Armstrong vocal instructor Terry Logan, who will accompany her on piano at the performance. Along with finishing her voice degree, Van Gameren has been teaching private voice lessons for five years and has been a provincial delegate for voice competitions on three different occasions as well as a gold medalist for the Royal Conservatory of Toronto in her voice exams. Van Gameren has also been active in musical theatre with Lights of Broadway, a musical theatre company that puts on full-scale Broadway musicals at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre every spring. She has trained extensively in singing, dancing and acting with this company for 14 years and has performed the roles of Leisl in The Sound of Music, the lead role in Thoroughly Modern Millie, Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz and Amber Von Tussle in Hairspray. The North Okanagan Community Concert Association is also holding a fundraiser for a new piano, to replace the old Hamburg Steinway grand at the Performing Arts Centre. “Our old piano was built in 1886 and restored in 1953 and again in 2003. The new piano was built in 1976 and is now being restored to like-new condition in White Rock for delivery in the fall of 2016,” said NOCCA president Paul Maynes. “We will be selling all 88 keys on the piano for $100 each so that the final finishing, shipping and insurance is paid for upon delivery.” The NOCCA has sold close to 40 keys so far, and the idea is to keep the ownership of the piano as that of the community rather than a corporate instrument, added Maynes. Audiences can learn more when NOCCA presents Christine Tassan et les Imposteures at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Sunday, Nov. 1 at 7:30 p.m. Season subscriptions and individual tickets are available at the Ticket Seller box office.

Live Well
HEALTH TIP WILL BELEY
brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist
Star Trek medicine is becoming closer to reality with a small credit card-sized device using near infrared light to detect possible urinary tract infections. It is an non-invasive tool that will benefit those with spinal cord injuries who can’t detect the normal signs of bladder infection like painful urination. Although not ready for general use yet, it will save healthcare dollars by minimizing lab test costs. •••••••• The first alert pendant was marketed in 1974 and worked only in the home. Today these devices are very high-tech and some have GPS capabilities so the wearer can go anywhere and still be found. Some also can detect falls and will call for emergency help even though the button is not pushed. There are many different types available. Do your research for the one that is best for you. •••••••• Parkinson’s Disease (PD) symptoms often begin in tremor in a hand and is most obvious when the hand is at rest or when a person is under stress but seems to disappear during sleep. Another PD symptom is bradykinesia which is the slowing down and loss of spontaneous and automatic movement. Both of these symptoms can be controlled by medications and in some cases deep brain stimulation therapy. •••••••• The biggest advance in drug therapy for Parkinson’s Disease occurred decades ago with a few refinements along the way. But the major breakthrough that will halt of slow the progression of the disease is still elusive. But hope never dies. •••••••• Work is always going on to discover how to treat major diseases including Parkinson’s. When new drugs come, our pharmacists will know about it.

The house is built upon a hilltop of red clay soil, which the Sharpe’s have been turning into brick for generations, giving the estate its nickname Crimson Peak.

We say, “It’s a fancy oil painting of a very ordinary ghost story.” TAYLOR: Everyone has been waiting for this one, simply because it was created by visionary director Guillermo Del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, Pacific Rim). In terms of the visuals, audiences are not being disappointed. Every set, every costume, and every shot is rich, complex and perfect. Unfortunately the story is predictable,

unoriginal and quite frankly, not very scary or frightening. It has a little bit of over-the-top gore/violence that I could have done without. I agree the visual effects are amazing; some of the most beautiful shots that I have seen, but they alone are

not enough to save this movie. TAYLOR: Everything about this film should have been better. The secrets kept at Allerdale Hall could have been a much more disturbing revelation, rather than outright telegraphed to audiences. The spooks could have been spookier, the relationships between the characters could have been explored, their history, unfolding rather than mentioned. At the outset, it is clear that Sir Thomas and his weird sister are in cahoots as to the choosing to court our debutante author, Edith. Scary music plays, therefore we immediately know that Edith is in danger. The problem with Crimson Peak is that it tells you everything, rather than lets you discover. HOWE: I felt the actors themselves were not even up to par on this adventure. Hiddleston, who I think is one of England’s finest up and coming actors, is limp and Chastain looks like she did it just for the pay cheque at the end of the week. The only good bit of acting came from the dog about half way through the movie, but his screen time was only brief before he disappeared never to be seen or mentioned again. Once again I will state, to be clear, I was very disappointed with Crimson Peak. TAYLOR: I think everyone is. Still, it’s pretty ain’t it? For the record my most anticipated film of the year is Legend. Tom Hardy plays British gangster twins Reg and Ronnie Kray. I’m saving all my disappointment for Star Wars, but I’ve set that bar purposely low and I have faith in director J.J. Abrams. I have a new hope that with the return of the Jedi, the empire will strike back. – Howe gives Crimson Peak 1.5 dancing candles out of 5. – Taylor gives it 2 silly puns out of 5.

Bridge by Phillip Alder RUFFS CAN BE GOOD OR NOT SO GOOD Ludwig von Mises was an economist famous for his work on praxeology, a study of human choice and action. He said, “To defeat the aggressors is not enough to make peace durable. The main thing is to discard the ideology that generates war.” Don’t we wish that would be possible - today or ever? In a much safer environment, bridge students tend to play by ‘the rules’ - general pieces of advice they learn from teachers. But when a deal comes along that does not fit the mould, they often make the wrong play. For example, in this deal, South is in four spades. How should the defence
proceed? South’s two-spade advance was forcing for one round. On the second round, South was sorely tempted to raise to three no-trump. Here, though, that would not have worked well if East had led the diamond nine, and West had played low. Instead, South forced to game with his three-diamond cue-bid, and North was happy to continue with three spades, suggesting a good doubleton. (With three spades, he would have raised spades on the previous round of the auction.) West leads the diamond ace: seven, nine, six. He then cashes the diamond king: jack, two, five. Now, looking at all 52 cards, West must shift to his trump. (The curious may work it out.)
But most Wests would lead a third diamond, hoping partner could profitably ruff away dummy’s winner. Some Easts would ruff, not noting that it costs their natural trump trick. The wiser defenders discard. Then, unless playing with mirrors, South will go down, losing two diamonds, one heart and one spade.

PREM, George George passed away peacefully at home with his wife Marie by his side, on Saturday, October 10, 2015 at the age of 88 years. He is remembered with great love by Marie, his daughter Jutta and her husband Len Stein, grandchildren Jessica and Eric Stein, and his siblings and their families in Germany. George and Marie lived a supportive and loving marriage for 63 years. They came to Canada from Germany in 1957, settling in Balmertown, Ontario. There, George worked underground as a blaster in the gold mine, building a nest egg that would allow them to move on. That move was to Vernon in 1964 where George became a partner in A-1 Machine & Welding, continuing as sole owner to build the business over the next 25 years. George valued the men who worked for and with him, and was proud that A-1 helped to support their families over those years. George and Marie enjoyed their homes on Okanagan Lake. Many happy family times were spent on the water, George’s smile always coming out from behind the spray when he was on his slalom ski. He enjoyed great snow days on Silver Star skiing with Marie, their friends, and the family. George and Marie traveled widely, and George told stories of hot air ballooning over the Serengeti, seeing the tortoises of the Galapagos, hang gliding in New Zealand, watching the waters of the Rio Negro and the Amazon mix, riding a mule into the Grand Canyon ... down, and back again. George’s life was long, it was full, and to his last days he found within it cause to smile, to joke, and to laugh. We will remember him, and we will miss him. George’s family wishes to thank Dr. Don Smith and Vernon Jubilee Hospital staff for their compassionate care. A very sincere and special thank you goes to his caregivers Kelly Proctor and Louise Hyatt for their wonderful support. George was laid to rest beside his son Robert in a private graveside service on October 17. In lieu of flowers, those friends wishing to do so may make a donation in George’s memory to Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation. Arrangements have been entrusted to Vernon Funeral Home, Phone: 250 542 0155

Obituaries
It's 3 years today that the Lord took you away Missed and Loved Erna & Family William (Bill) Thomas Wakelin March 20, 1955 - October 23, 2012 You filled the world with special joy And happiness untold, You always had a sunny way And a lovely heart of gold. You made life so much brighter Just by being thoughtful, too, And saying kind and helpful things Was typical of you. That’s why it’s hard to face the world And know you won’t be there, Lighting up life so warmly with your smile beyond compare. The memories you’ve left behind Grow sweeter day by day But you are truly very missed More than any words can say. We miss you, Sherry, Bev, Jason, Curtis, Kim, Sophia, Aryana
In loving memory of my husband
Mike Pushkarenko

Mountie found not guilty KATHY MICHAELS Black Press
A Kelowna Mountie who was charged with assault following an interaction with a 61-year-old man during the summer bar flush one night last year was found not guilty.
