City to pursue market location RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

There’s strong words coming from some politicians over a future home for the Vernon Farmers Market. On Monday, city council appointed Mayor Akbal Mund and Coun. Catherine Lord to meet with the farmers market board Akbal Mund to determine an alternate location for the market should the referendum to twin Kal Tire Place succeed Nov. 28. “We will find them a suitable location where they can go,” said Mund. But when it was pointed out that

the farmers market doesn’t want to move from Kal Tire Place’s parking lot, Mund stated he’s only heard that view from one person. “We haven’t heard from the board of directors or the people who use the market,” he said. Lord is calling for a compromise, but says the market will have to leave Kal Tire Place if the arena project proceeds. “We can’t hold up a new ice sheet,” she said. One possible location is the Vernon Performing Arts Centre parking lot, and while the farmers market society disagrees with it. Mund says it has potential. “That’s a better spot. There’s lots of parking and all of the people in the apartments close to downtown could

walk to the market. There would be more business for everybody,” he said. In a recent letter, the Vernon Farmers Market board stated that moving to a different location, even during construction, is not an option. “We have too much invested in promotional material and signage and there really isn’t anywhere to move to. It should be mentioned that our lease is good for three more years,” it stated. The VFM wants a new ice sheet constructed to the west of Kal Tire Place but the city says that’s not possible because of ongoing legal action with the Okanagan Equestrian Society over Kin Race Track. As part of their process for a new location, Mund and Lord will report to council with alternate sites for the market.

More tax dollars are being pumped into the 78-year-old Civic Arena. Staff presented Vernon council Monday with $54,500 in repairs that are either proceeding or are needed for the Interior’s first indoor ice sheet, and the ultimate bill could go even higher. “Have you ever seen the movie Money Pit?” said Coun. Scott Anderson when asked for his thoughts on the situation. “This is not encouraging.” The issues range from cracking trusses and concrete walls to mechanical room water leaks and upgrades to emergency lighting and fire alarm Scott Anderson panels. “Everything we do seems to open up other problems,” said Jim Coughlin, facilities manager. In one case, opening a wall for a leak led to a major surprise. “The concrete is eroding away — the bottom of the foundation,” said Coughlin. “Before this item can be fully addressed, the two to five-year project of exterior drainage should be completed. This will also cost closer to $20,000 to do the wall repair not including any concrete repair.” The west male washroom needs a new toilet and a urinal has failed in the south washroom. There is a major drainage piping failure in all washrooms. Repairs are being done to parts of the 1938 electrical system but a full investigation of the building is required. “The electrical system is another nightmare,” said Coughlin. Greater Vernon residents are heading to the polls Nov. 28 on twinning Kal Tire Place, but if that succeeds, some investment will be required at Civic while construction occurs. “Civic has to last for two to three years,” said Coun. Catherine Lord. About 40 per cent of local ice use is based at Civic Arena. Coughlin was asked about the ultimate lifespan of the arena. “We can make it last forever but it’s all money related,” he said. Lord suggested that about $6 million would be needed for an overhaul and that would only extend the building for five to 10 years. While some reports indicate the actual structure is sound, Mayor Akbal Mund is concerned about the physical plant and the ongoing price tag. “Civic needs lots of work and as time goes on, it will need lots more work,” he said. “Residents need to understand this building won’t last.”

Residents fuming over pellet plant Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

Several Lavington residents say their worst fears are coming true. Despite all their protests and warnings, the Pinnacle Pellet Plant is up and running next to Tolko and near neighbouring subdivisions, as well as Lavington Elementary School. Their fears of noise, traffic, light pollution and particulate matter are now a daily concern. “There is a clear misrepresentation happening from what was proposed to what we have been given,” said Stephanie Hoffman, who has been fighting the plant for more than a year now with her small children in tow. More than a dozen residents joined Hoffman at Coldstream council Monday to air their concerns and demand that politicians do more to represent them. “This is our home and we demand that council raise the bar on acceptable practices,” said Hoffman, whose words garnered applause. Council agreed to make their own demands on Pinnacle and the Ministry of Environment to help its residents quite literally sleep at night. First priority is getting the delayed air quality monitoring system up and running. Plans are close to being finalized on installing it at Lavington Baptist Church. Coldstream is also investigating purchasing its own system, or using one which has been promised to the North Okanagan. “Our main concerns through this has and continues to be air quality,” said Jason Hoffman. “There is more than just water vapor escaping the stacks. My eyes, nose and

Lavington residents are upset over not only what they can see coming from the Pinnacle Pellet Plant stacks in addition to steam, but the particulate matter which they can’t see. throat tell me otherwise. We want proof of a healthy living environment.” While Pinnacle has stated that it is just steam coming from the drying stacks, residents have witnessed and documented brown smoke as well as a grey/blue smoke on certain days. “The pictures we were shown today look a lot different than steam,” said Coun. Pat Cochrane. But those pictures are not representative of what is happening right now, according to Trevor Seibel, chief administrative officer. “There was a period when something was

being omitted but that has been corrected,” said Seibel. Highway 6 resident Jennifer Brown disagrees, as she continues to see smoke, not steam. “Some days it does look fine,” admits Brown, who refuses to open her windows anymore and has even resorted to closing her blinds. Others have gone to even more extreme measures. “I’ve moved my children out of Lavington Elementary School and I’m absolutely convinced I’ve made the right decision,” said

Brad Broten, who lives on Brewer Road and complains of being woken up in the middle night with troubled breathing. Corry Methot lives two blocks from the plant and agrees that different days there appears to be different things coming from the stacks. Some days, she says you can taste it. “You can literally chew wood fibre in your mouth,” said Methot. But what concerns the community the most isn’t what they can see, but what they can’t. “The problem stuff is invisible,” said Coun. Richard Enns of the particulate matter, which studies have shown to be carcinogenic. Noise is another major aggravation, although Pinnacle is working on addressing the issues. “I don’t know how I go to work for 12 hours a day when I can’t sleep at night,” said Stephanie Hoffman, who would like to see the plant restricted to operating between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. Council is making demands for information on various topics, including the staging versus storage of sawdust, clarity on what was projected and what is actually being produced at the plant and truck traffic. “I’ve counted up to 40 trucks a day going in and out of the Pinnacle plant,” said School Road resident Sheila Sacht, who is convinced they must be hiding something since it is taking so long to get the air monitor installed. But some aren’t convinced their concerns will ever be fully addressed. “My projection sirs is you are probably going to hear about this problem for years to come, as it’s not going to go away,” said Barry Rafuse.

Foster receives failing grade for bus remarks richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster is drawing fire for education funding. The NDP have criticized Foster for comments he made about an Echo Lake resident that has to drive his children 17 kilometres to the nearest bus stop to get to school in Lumby because the Vernon School District has eliminated buses travelling there.

“Mr. Foster is plain wrong to tell his constituents - parents and kids - that cuts to school bus service has nothing to do with his government,” said Rob Fleming, NDP education critic. “The fact is, this cut has everything to do with the B.C. Liberals slashing $54 million from school districts from the provincial budget.” During a Morning Star interview Oct. 25, Foster stated that busing is the

school district’s responsibility. “They make changes in busing and we don’t interfere in their operations,” he said. “It’s their call. He (resident) needs to deal with the school district and not me.” Foster was not impressed with the NDP’s press release. “Mr. Fleming is entitled to his opinion and his way of doing math,” said Foster, adding that while school

districts were asked for $54 million in administrative savings, the teachers’ contract has led to $421 million being put into the system over three years. Foster also pointed out that increased enrolment in the Vernon district will add to funding levels. “School districts have a budget and they must live within it. The calls (decisions) are theirs to make,” he said. “They know better what to do with the money than someone in Victoria.”

Lookout gets a facelift Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

The overgrown weeds, spray paint and litter have been replaced with picnic benches, trees and a park-like setting at a popular lookout. Renovations have transformed the Kalamalka Lake rest area off Highway 97 back into a beautiful place to enjoy the view. The $58,000 upgrade includes two outhouses, six picnic tables, colourful garbage and recycling bins, fencing, trees and a grassy area. It’s a breath of fresh air for both visitors and residents who were tired of the vandalism and lack of maintenance (including overgrown weeds) the lookout received in the past. “Our councillor Doug Dirk actually came up here with his own weed eater,” said Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick. The timing of the new lookout couldn’t be better. “The bigger picture here is we’ve got a rail trail planned down below us,” said Garlick, also mentioning plans for a cycling path on the old highway. The new rest area also creates an additional reason for tourists to stop in the region. “The viewscape is second to none here,” said Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster. “It’s a great place to bring your lunch and enjoy the view on a nice

sunny day.” Providing a safe place for motorists to recharge helps keep the highways safer for everyone, Foster added. During a previous announcement at the lookout, Transportation Minister Todd Stone saw the need to upgrade the lookout, and was particularly keen on

seeing the crooked historic sign put back upright. The Kal Lake rest area upgrade is one of many across B.C. “This is part of our commitment in B.C. on the Move to invest $9 million for new and upgraded rest areas over the next three years,” said Stone.

Interior Land Reclamation of Lake Country undertook the contract, which includes xeriscape design with native plants and rocks. New garbage and recycling bins are part of the Garbage Gobbler program that pays tribute to the original version created in the 1950s.

Suspicious fire destroys vehicle Morning Star Staff

Suspicious vehicle fires continue to be a concern in Vernon. On Monday at about 1:30 a.m., Vernon firefighters were called to a truck blaze in the 3300 block of 35th Avenue. “The RCMP were there just as we arrived and they were talking to a person of interest,” said Jack Blair, deputy fire chief. Jack Blair This is the fifth suspicious fire in Vernon since Oct. 14. “We don’t want anyone starting fires,” said Blair, adding that fuel and the components of vehicles can create a significant risk. “The smoke is horrendous and toxic, especially if there is magnesium

in the engine or wheels. When you put water on those vehicles, it’s like setting off fireworks. It’s very dangerous.” Anyone who sees suspicious activity around vehicles is asked to call the RCMP. There was also another car fire in the region but this one is not suspicious. BX-Swan Lake crews attended the fire on Bremmer Road (off of Old Kamloops Road) at about 7:45 p.m. Oct. 23. “It destroyed the vehicle on the engine compartment,” said fire chief Bill Wacey. Crews managed to extinguish the blaze and prevent it from spreading to the nearby home. The cause of the fire is not considered criminal. “There has been a lot of those but no, this wasn’t suspicious,” said Wacey.

Walk remembers teen RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Armstrong-Spallumcheen residents are preparing to remember. The fourth annual Taylor Van Diest Memorial Walk will be held Sunday, a shift from Oct. 31 in previous years. “We don’t want to compete with Halloween,” said Marie Van Diest, Taylor’s mom. “If there’s a bigger turnout, that’s great.”

Taylor, 18, was assaulted near the Rosedale Avenue railway tracks Oct. 31, 2011. She died Nov. 1 from her injuries in Kelowna General Hospital. The walk starts at 6 p.m. at Glad Tidings Church and will take about half-an-hour along the memorial trail named in memory of Taylor. “It’s certainly well used by the community,” said Marie of the trail. Everyone is welcome to attend and are encouraged to bring candles for the walk.

Good money after bad

ivic Arena was once the pride of Vernon but that’s a distant memory. On Monday, Vernon council was presented a shopping list of costly repairs by facilities manager Jim Coughlin. Among the most serious items highlighted by Coughlin are: “Cracking top chord truss - $10,000: This project is underway and we are planning on having it completed before the end of the year. “Cracks in perimeter concrete walls - $5,000: The worst offending crack and the damage it caused was on the west wall lower storage area Richard Rolke for minor hockey. The wall was opened up from the inside to find a failing insulated wood wall against a concrete wall that is decaying away at the bottom. Before this item can be fully addressed, the two to five-year project of exterior drainage should be completed. This will also cost closer to $20,000 to do the wall repair, not including any concrete repair. “West washroom - $2,000: The west female washroom has been repaired. The west male room needs a new water closet. This is another ongoing item as we currently had a failure to a urinal in a south washroom. We have major drainage piping failure in all washroom areas.” “North mechanical room - $1,500: Leak in domestic water. This has been repaired. However, the domestic and heating water loops will continue to have leaks show up as the infrastructure is dated. “1938 electrical system - $2,000: We have two electrical companies on site doing repairs to different parts of the old system.

The other is upgrading the main light switches to the building. To do a full investigation, I will need to get a consultant involved so we are just fixing the areas that need upgrading now.” About $54,500 in repairs that are either proceeding or are needed were put before council, but there’s no question that the price tag will soar even higher as other deficiencies are discovered. “Everything we do seems to open up other problems,” Coughlin told council. “We’re basically putting Band-Aids on them.” While the condition of Civic shouldn’t come as a surprise after years of engineering studies, Coughlin’s update was like a slap of reality. “It’s a sinking ship. It’s a maintenance nightmare,” said one high-level official. Granted the building dates back to before the Second World War, but Coun. Dalvir Nahal has a valid point when she questions what form of regular upkeep occurred over the decades. “I wonder where we went wrong and why it deteriorated so badly?” she said. If Greater Vernon residents agree to twin Kal Tire Place Nov. 28, Civic Arena’s role as an ice sheet will come to an end. Although, some investment will be needed just to keep it running while the new project is under construction. And if voters shoot down twinning Kal Tire Place, Civic Arena will have an indefinite role hosting 40 per cent of the hockey in town. That will mean a significant cost for maintenance and upgrades and very little return as $6 million may only extend the lifespan by five to 10 years. Greater Vernon officials and residents have to decide if throwing good money after bad is the best solution to meet long-term recreational needs or if a fresh start is the way to go.

Prime minister-elect Justin Trudeau has vowed to have an equal gender split in his cabinet, to be announced next week. As expected, not everyone was thrilled with Trudeau’s decision to create an even split in his cabinet. On social media, some criticized him, pointing out that it may be irresponsible to not install the best candidate for each post. Historically, as female political veterans can attest, that hasn’t always happened as the old boys’ network has tended to dominate. The numbers from the federal election were moderately encouraging. Eighty-eight women were elected, or 26 per cent of the total of 338 seats. While that’s 12 more female voices in the house – representing about 40 per cent of the 30 new ridings – it’s barely higher than the 25 per cent in the previous Parliament. Nonetheless, it was good to see more women running. Among the big three parties, the NDP had the closest to a gender split. Of its 338 candidates, 146 (43.2 per cent) were women, and 18 of its elected MPs (40.9 per cent) are female. The Liberals will have the most women, 50, in Parliament, or roughly 27 per cent of their total of 184 MPs. The Conservatives lagged well behind, with just 17.2 per cent of its 99 seats (17 MPs) to be held by women. Balancing the cabinet is a bold move by Trudeau and makes a statement unparalleled in Canadian federal government history. In doing so he is showing faith and trust in the abilities of women who might not otherwise have the opportunity to show what they can do. We’re confident these newcomers will shine when put in positions of leadership, even under the harsh glare of the old guard. — Goldstream News

Civic Arena legacy worth saving

he discussions continue about procuring funds to build a new arena in Vernon for all to use. A new arena would be another great asset for the city and area to be proud of. The question is whether or not it is necessary and the best use of taxpayer’s money. We have with the Civic, one of the historic arenas in Canada. This is the site of the very first artificial ice surface in the Interior. To some, of course, old is a bad word. To me, the Civic speaks of the long history of our national and regional passion for ice sports. Civic has served us very well for a long time but does that mean we should throw it away? A referendum will never consider a facility that has the ability to house the number of fans and participants that the old Civic Arena can. Oh sure it has some limitations such as

DRIVING SAFETY ICBC's distracted driver simulator is a nice idea, but a waste of time and money. Those who insist on using their cell phones, whether to talk, or, almost unbelievably, text, while driving are no different than any other addict: neither preaching, rationalizing nor using the scare tactics of large fines will deter them from their potentially destructive behavior. The realization that at least one in 10 of the 4,000-pound vehicles hurtling towards you at any time is being piloted by some fool on a cell phone is sobering indeed. The solution is for every vehicle to be equipped with some sort of mandatory electronic shield that prevents the receiving or transmission of any cell phone signals. You want to use your cell phone to make a call, check your calls, or text? Pull over to the side of the road, (maybe into a purpose-built 'cell phone pullout'), get out of your vehicle, and use your phone to your heart's content. If technology can send spaceships to Mars, surely it can manage this. All you drivers of service vehi-

the low ceiling, uncomfortable seating and smaller ice surface but it does have some redeeming attributes as well. We have made do with these shortcomings for some 80 years and could

cles, etc., will howl in protest, but unless you can prove that you, for some reason, are immune to the dangers of distracted driving, stop your vehicle and get out of it to use your phone, like everyone else should. Don Rollins FOR THE RECORD The day after the election the Canadian Taxpayers Federation published pension and severance estimates for all the MPs who retired or were defeated on Oct. 19. I now realize that the figure provided for Colin Mayes' severance was incorrect. After reading Mr. Mayes' comments that he would not be receiving a severance, I double checked my calculations. I immediately saw that I had made a mistake. My apologies to your newspaper, your readers and Mr. Mayes. Mr. Mayes is correct that because he is of retirement age and will collect his MP pension immediately, he will not receive a severance payment. Jeff Bowes, Research Director Canadian Taxpayers Federation

likely swallow our pride and live with it for another 50 if a fraction of the money proposed for a new facility was put into some needed renovations. We could spend money on a new ice

MINIMUM WAGE If raising the minimum wage does no general economic harm because it increases spending and thus stimulates the economy, why not raise it to $20 instead of just $15? The truth is, this fallacy has been disproven in many studies, around the world – Godin, Keith, & Veldhuis (2009); Neumark & Wascher (2008); Domberger Simon, Hall, Au Lik Li (1995) to mention just a few. Those who suffer the most as the minimum wage increases are young, inexperienced workers between the ages of 15 and 24 whose employment decreased by 3 per cent to 6 per cent generally, and by as much as 4.5 per cent to 20 per cent in some cases (Godin & Veldhuis, 2009). Increased minimum wage increases the cost of providing a good or service which must be compensated either by increasing the cost of that good or service; or by increased productivity of the worker by reducing the number of workers so the same amount of work must be done by fewer people; or by forced bankruptcy for those businesses on the edge, either

plant, rebuilding of the floor and maybe even install comfortable seating over top of some of the existing bleachers? Bright white paint on the walls, floors and trusses would make for a very functional facility for many years to come. Maybe we could rebrand it as the Heritage Civic Centre and show our pride in our ice sports history much as the City of Trail does. Can we not cost out the necessary renovations and add the total amount needed to the ballot to provide a choice for the tax payers on referendum day? With the money saved on demolition and burying the old girl in the landfill, as well as not building a brand new facility for now, there should be money to put towards building our long needed arts showcase downtown. Jeff Moore, former minor hockey executive member, assistant coach

temporarily or permanently. New, inexperienced employee prospects must be trained to be profitably productive. If a business cannot achieve that end in an effective period of time, such employees will not be hired, innumerable studies have demonstrated. One of the consequences are that older persons trying to retire, but prevented by governments’ zero interest rate policies, are now displacing younger employees because of the seniors’ increased needs, and so willingness and ability to work profitably for the employer. Efforts to promote and implement living wage policies are ultimately doomed to general failure: “Living wages are not the answer to the hardships experienced by many poor families. Rather than reduce poverty, living wage laws rob lowskilled workers of the opportunity to participate in the labour market. As a result, living wage laws hurt the very people they are intended to help, especially when the economy slows and many of them are trying to find employment.” (Veldhuis & Karabegovic 2010). For example, a young person living at home does not need a living wage as much as training in a real

world, work environment. Rigid minimum wage laws do not permit this logical process to occur. C. Wills

Caravan unleashes new season with the Leshy Kristin Froneman

Morning Star Staff

Kristin Froneman /morninG star

Courtenay dobbie holds a prop that was originally used for Caravan Farm theatre’s 2014 summer production of The Tragical Comedy of Punch and Judy. it will appear, in some shape or form, at this Friday’s Walk of terror at the farm.

tree branch creaks from the movement of something lurking in the forest. Within the shadows of the trees is a distorted humanoid shape, drifting from bough to bough, as if on a mission, searching for a lost soul perhaps? It suddenly stops and disappears into nothingness. Leaves scatter, as a creature on four legs runs off into the distance, howling in its wake. This is only an imaginary scenario inspired by those creative folks over at Caravan Farm Theatre, who are about to unleash the farm’s 12th annual Walk of Terror on All Hallow’s Eve Friday. Those who dare take the walk in the woods at the Spallumcheen farm will encounter a Slavic mythological creature called the Leshy, a shape-shifting being in human form which can transform into an animal or plant of any size. “He has a propensity to lead travelers astray and abduct children,” said Caravan artistic director Courtenay Dobbie, “He’s a sort of a guardian of the woods who gets humans lost. It has a bit of an environmental message.” The masterminds behind this year’s walk are Laura McLean and Christine Quintana, artistic producers from Vancouver’s Delinquent Theatre, who are working with Caravan prop master/designer Scott Crocker on all the creepy details. Community members are also back to help enact the characters that will be cast amongst the woods.

“It’s very much a visual experience,” said Dobbie. “We have to create a broad spectrum as community members are involved.” Gates to the farm open at 6:30 p.m. and visitors can embark on the walk anytime between 7 and 8 p.m. Afterwards, folks can head over to Caravan’s open timberframe barn to dance out the cobwebs to the carnival and film noir-like music of Vancouver’s Jeff Gladstone and the Bad Ideas. “We encourage audiences to come dressed up,” said Dobbie. The Walk of Terror kicks off Caravan’s 2015-16 season. This year’s crop of outdoor theatre productions will include both an original winter sleigh-ride show plus the Thornton Wilder classic Our Town in the summer. “We wanted to do a modern classic this year opposed to something that is over 200 years old, like Shakespeare, so we decided to do Our Town, touted as the greatest play ever,” said Dobbie, who will direct the production, which was written in the 1930s and is set in the earlier part of the 20th century. The show will not only incorporate the farm’s outdoor setting, but its Clydesdale horses, and will also involve members of the community along with a women’s choir. “I feel this season is about people, life and community: the trials and tribulations of life as we know it. We are taking the emotional factor to a deeper level,” said Dobbie. That idea of community and family is also found in Caravan’s winter sleigh-ride production of Bedstefader (or How Grandfather

‘Soul’ band brings spirit to jazz club for Halloween amanda morazain For The Morning Star

See the band Blues.About.com says is “red hot and ready to roll” and the Nashville Blues Society calls “dynamite!” The Vernon Jazz Club will be howling this Halloween when The Kirby Sewell Band takes over the stage. Come in your costume and feel the energy of three vocalists and two guitars on top of drums and bass. This band has a full sound that is bound to have you grooving all night. Sewell will be rocking the stage with Neil Gunhold (guitar and vocals), Morgan

Turk (guitar and vocals), Jim Johnston (drums), and Jae Cho (bass guitar). Sewell, pronounced “soul,” was born to sing. This big blues shouter, who stands six-foot-six-inches tall, belts out tunes that are a mix of rock, country, and of course the blues. His sound has been compared to Joe Cocker, The Commitments and Otis Redding. The band’s sound has been heard across North America on SiriusXM, Galaxy, and on CBC’s Saturday Night Blues. They had two #1 hits on Canada’s Roots Music Report, a #2 on Alberta’s CKUA and were added as Pick to Click on B.B King’s

Bluesville on SiriusXM. They have had press highlights in No Depression (USA), !Earshot (Canada), Rocks (Germany), and RELIX (NYC) and have shared the stage with Colin James, The Bedouin Soundclash, Burton Cummings, Blue Rodeo and many more. Check out the band at kirbysewellband. com. The Kirby Sewell Band hits the stage at the Vernon Jazz Club (3000-31st St.) this Saturday at 8 p.m Doors open at 7:15 p.m. Tickets are $20 at the Bean Scene and at www.vernonjazz.ca with a $5 rebate at the door for members. Cash only bar.

Came out of the Cold), written by Toronto playwright Sean Dixon (who also penned the 2012 Caravan summer production The Notorious Right Robber and his Robber Bride). The play is based on the Danish wintertime practice of “hygge,” which means creating warmth, coziness and happiness indoors at wintertime. “It’s a spiritual term,” said Dobbie. “In Scandinavia, because of the long winter period, they do this to keep happy and embrace the coziness and maintain an introspective time at winter. You are supposed to eat with family and friends inside, wear warm sweaters, curl up near the fire, read a book, and bring green inside such as holly, boughs and trees.” Caravan will also celebrate winter with its very first outdoors Christmas market Nov. 22, which will feature artisans selling local handmade goods, a bonfire, treats and carollers. The end of winter will also be celebrated with the farm’s new horse barn, which will be erected in the spring and is one of the reasons the farm will not be holding a Mother’s Day show this season. “The new horse barn is becoming a reality from the fundraising we have done over the past few years. It is a heated barn with 10 to 12 stalls for the horses and will provide a place where people can come visit the horses during our shows,” said Dobbie. Tickets for the Walk of Terror and all Caravan productions are available at the Ticket Seller, 250549-7469, www.tickeseller.ca.

Film is a testament of the Great War For The Morning Star

For its next presentation, the Vernon Film Society is showing the film Testament of Youth, which is especially timely as the movie will be shown so close to Remembrance Day. It is based on the memoir written by Vera Brittain, who was a nurse during the First World War. Brittain did not complete her memoir until 1933 when it became a classic testimony of the war from a woman’s point of view. Previously filmed as a TV series in 1979, this remake stars Swedish actress Alicia Vikander as Vera, who portrays the young and headstrong, but ultimately strong woman as she experiences the horrors of war. Vera fights long and hard against the wishes of her parents to attend Oxford University, but once the war starts she does not want to sit idly by and watch as her brothers, their friends and her fiancée go off

to fight. She leaves university to volunteer to work as a nurse. She works tirelessly, experiencing all the griefs of war, as one by one those closest to her are killed and the pillars of her world are shattered. An indefatigable spirit, Vera endures and eventually returns to Oxford, where, determined to find a new purpose, she becomes a peace activist. Supported by Shirley Williams, Brittain’s daughter, and promoted in the U.K. as part of the First World War commemorations in late 2014, the film features actual veterans of

the Afghanistan war who play many of the wounded and blinded soldiers. “As an intimate epic Testament of Youth has great historical sweep yet remains focused on the human vicissitudes experienced by Vera and her circle. The director supplies the film with a hauntingly poetic visual sense and elicits fine, exacting performances from the able cast,” said Godfrey Cheshire with RogerEbert.com. Testament of Youth shows Monday, Nov. 2 at 5:15 and 7:45 p.m. at the Towne Theatre. Tickets are $7 (cash) at the door and at the Bean Scene.

Squash is actually a fruit

he word squash brings many different images to mind. Squash, a bug; squash, a game; squash, a vegetable? That’s the one! A squash is actually a fruit, and yet we use it as a vegetable, so we call it a vegetable. You can eat the flowers (stuffed and fried); leaves and stalks, if tender, can be sautéed and eaten and are great to add to soups. Some amazing winter squash varieties that will be easy to find are acorn squash, butternut squash, and spaghetti Cathi Litzenberger squash. Spaghetti squash is a unique variety with pasta-like cooked flesh. The bigger the squash, and the brighter yellow the skin, the better the taste. The spaghetti squash recipe below is a low-carb dish, tasty and filling, even if you’re not watching your waistline! There are many wonderful recipes for squash soups. The one I’ve chosen for today is because of its simplicity and great taste. Spaghetti Squash Pad Thai 1 small spaghetti squash, halved and seeded Sauce: 1-1/2 cups chicken broth 3 tablespoons peanut butter 1 tablespoon chili-garlic sauce

kitchen wit & wisdom

1 tablespoon fish sauce 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 tablespoon rice vinegar 1 tablespoon oyster sauce 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger 1 teaspoon sesame oil 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 3 tablespoons cold water 1 tablespoon cornstarch Vegetables: 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 (12 oz.) package broccoli coleslaw mix 1 zucchini, diced 1 red bell pepper, diced 1/2 cup sliced green onions 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro 2 cubed, cooked chicken breasts Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place spaghetti squash, cutside up, on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until squash is tender, 30 to 45 minutes. Shred squash meat using a fork and discard the peel. Combine chicken broth, peanut butter, chili-garlic sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, oyster sauce, ginger, sesame oil and black pepper together in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Whisk water and cornstarch together in a bowl until smooth; add to broth mixture and continue boiling until sauce thickens, 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer sauce. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; sauté broccoli slaw,

zucchini, red bell pepper, green onion, cilantro and shredded spaghetti squash until tender, about 10 minutes. Add chicken and sauce to squash mixture; cook and stir until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Delicious! Easy Butternut Squash Soup 2-20-ounce packages (2-1/2 pounds) pre-cut butternut squash (if using fresh squash, you’ll need one large squash or 7-8 cups cubed) 1 red bell pepper, roughly chopped 1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped 3 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled 7 cups water 1 Tablespoon salt 2 Tbsp. sugar, plus more if necessary 1/2 cup heavy cream Fresh thyme sprigs, for garnish (optional) Combine all of the ingredients except for the heavy cream in a large soup pot. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 35 minutes. Using a hand-held immersion blender, purée the soup until silky smooth. (Alternatively, cool the soup slightly, then purée in a blender in batches, making sure to leave the hole in the lid open to allow the steam to escape.) Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Taste and adjust seasoning (depending on the sweetness of the vegetables, you may need up to a tablespoon more sugar). Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped thyme or thyme sprigs, if desired.

Life

It’s the ‘butterfly’ gland

very day I practise I see a patient where I have to consider if there is an underlying problem with the thyroid, a gland shaped like a butterfly that rests in the middle of the neck. Often these patients have had a conventional blood test done with Dr. Shelby Entner their doctor and been told that they are fine. They come to the clinic and are unconvinced that they are fine based on the symptoms they have read about online or in a book. Common symptoms that are associated with a low functioning (hypo) thyroid are fatigue, weight gain, dry hair/ skin/nails, constipation, cold intolerance and depression. These symptoms can be associated with many other illnesses but when seen in an individual it makes sense to investigate if the thyroid is working properly.

healthy living

The conventional test that is used to measure the thyroid’s function is TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) and is a measurement of the communication from the brain directly to the thyroid. If the test is within the “normal” range (which can vary from province to province and is quite different in other countries) then the thyroid is considered “normal” and is not a problem. However, when further testing is ordered, these other labs can pick up the markers of thyroid function that show the true activity of the gland. Labs such as fT4 and fT3 measure the activity of the gland after it has been “woken” up by the brain. Another important blood test is to check for antibodies to the thyroid and rule out an autoimmune issue. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is a disease of the thyroid that affects nearly 10 per cent of patients who have thyroid illness and is often missed by only testing TSH. In my practice, I have dozens of patients who we’ve tested for this disease and have come back positive, especially after major hormone changes

(pregnancy, miscarriage, menopause, Pill use, etc). It requires a special approach compared to traditional thyroid treatments and can go undetected for years until the gland is destroyed and TSH is altered. Antibody testing is the only way to check for Hashimoto’s. What is “normal” versus “optimal” when checking a thyroid gland? Unfortunately, our current lab values only tell us when a gland is diseased and requires a prescription to replace the missing hormone. Synthroid is the number-one selling drug in the United States with $6.9 billion in sales yearly, and hypothyroidism has become a huge health concern. Understanding lab testing, nutritional support, natural and conventional thyroid hormone replacement and seeking an “optimal” lab value is important in keeping this significant butterfly gland healthy through all stages of life. Dr. Shelby Entner is the naturopathic physician at Vero Health and specializes in hormonal health, digestion and chronic illness (www.verocare.ca).

Donn joins district staff Morning Star Staff

A well-known performer and producer is taking on Lake Country’s cultural scene. The District of Lake Country has hired Ryan Donn as cultural development co-ordinator. “We received more than 75 applications and heard from a number of very qualified individuals,” said Holly Flinkman, human resources and safety manager. “After viewing some outstanding presentations from the final three short-listed candidates, we came to the conclusion that Ryan Donn Ryan Donn was the best fit for the new staff role in Lake Country.” Donn will be responsible for the co-ordination of the community theatre, open air performances, public art supervision, cultural and heritage events, and working with various community groups. “The District of Lake Country is about to embark on a journey of discovery where the true potential of its cultural capacity will be allowed to flourish if guided properly,” said Donn, who is a Kelowna city councillor. “I consider it an honour to be a part of this exciting time of transition in such a dynamic community.” Donn will start his duties in mid-November.

Okanagan Regional Library Board directors continue a strategic planning process to transform the public library system over the next few years. Recognizing the leaps in technology and access to information in the past decade, the board has considered how to prioritize the library’s traditional roles with emerging opportunities such as teaching digital literacy, educational and cultural partnerships, and revitalization of library spaces. “We are hearing from people with all kinds of needs - for example, many want help with Stephanie Hall learning about technology and some want us to support their creativity through things such as workshops on e-publishing, access to 3-D printers, laser cutters, video or sound recording equipment,” said Stephanie Hall, chief executive officer. “Some would like us to expand our work in supporting learning and literacy with more author readings, and partnering with schools and postsecondary institutions.”

District eager to cash in on Liberal promises trict’s attempts to acquire funding. “The Liberal platform was good with regard to infrastructure spending so we have to see that some of that comes our way,” said Baker. “Our biggest issue is our Transportation for Tomorrow plan so we hope they can continue the grant program like Build Canada and have that relate to what we are doing with our roads and cycling paths and other infrastructure like water and sewer.” Baker said the district has had good success securing money from senior levels of

KEVIN PARNELL Black Press

Lake Country Mayor James Baker is preparing to work with new Liberal MP Stephen Fuhr on the district’s ongoing infrastructure shortage. Baker says the fact that the Liberals promised a record amount of infrastructure spending James Baker bodes well for the dis-

government in the past, with the key being the grant applications sent in by the municipality. “It is imperative that we can access this money. We are such a fast-growing community and we have a lot of deficits in our infrastructure.” Fuhr will leave for Ottawa Sunday to be sworn in as Kelowna-Lake Country MP. “Infrastructure was a big part of our party platform,” said Fuhr. “We were the only party in my opinion that had the fiscal plan that addressed the

problem. Our economy lacks jobs and growth and infrastructure jobs are the solution. Lake Country has its own needs so I need to meet with them and find out what their priorities are. I’m going to make sure Lake Country gets the resources they need that are available from the federal government.” The Liberals campaigned on deficit budgets to increase funding for infrastructure projects right across the country as municipalities grapple with the fact that much of its infrastructure is outdated and in need of upgrades.

Downtown set for Treat Trail Morning Star Staff

Downtown Vernon will bustle on Halloween. The Halloween Treat Trail takes place Saturday from 3 to 5 p.m. More than 60 businesses on 30th Avenue, side streets and in the Fruit Union Plaza will be handing out candy and treats for kids under 12 who will be out trick-or-treating. Families can download a list of participants from the Hailey Rilkoff www.downtownvernon.com along with a printable Treat Trail map. “Businesses are expecting a fun-filled Treat Trail this year, with the event taking place on a Saturday,” said Hailey Rilkoff, with the Downtown Vernon Association. “The Vipers will be on hand and our event sponsor, Tolko, is excited see all of the great costumes.”

Firefighters urge Halloween safety Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Fire Department is providing tips for a safe Halloween. The best costumes are light coloured or bright and reflective. Keep costumes short to avoid tripping and falling. Minimize the risk of contact with candles or other ignition sources by avoiding baggy pants, loose frills or billowing skirts. Teach children to stop, drop and roll if their clothing catches fire. Stop immediately, drop to the ground and cover face with hands and roll over to extinguish the flames. Never let young children go out alone. Stay away from unfamiliar neighbourhoods. Always carry a flashlight with you as you accompany your children as they trick or treat. Make sure you have a cellphone and that everyone knows to call 911 in an emergency.

College Way paved Morning Star Staff

There will be a change in traffic patterns for Coldstream motorists. Crews will be paving on College Way today and Thursday. Single-lane, alternating traffic will be in effect.

Donation lands in OC classroom Morning Star Staff

A local aviation company has touched down with its second major donation to Okanagan College in as many months. Carson Air has donated a $300,000 Metroliner II aircraft to the aircraft maintenance engineering (AME) M-License program. The aircraft recently landed at the college’s aerospace hangar at the Vernon Airport. “This aircraft has served Carson Air very well and we are proud to see it put to use as a training tool at Okanagan College,” said Kevin Hillier, Carson Air’s vice-president of operations. On Sept. 19, Carson Air also announced a donation of $125,000 to support the purchase of a flight simulator for the commercial aviation program in Kelowna. “Support from industry plays a vital role in the college’s ability to provide high quality training experiences,” said Jim Hamilton, Okanagan College president. Built in 1980, the Metroliner II saw service with two U.S. regional airlines before being imported to Canada in 1994 when it was converted to haul cargo. Nearly 60 feet in length and with a wingspan to match, the 19-passenger, twin-engine turboprop has been part of Carson Air’s fleet since 1998. The plane’s arrival in Vernon from Carson Air’s hangar in Kelowna marked the final flight for the aircraft, after more than 35,000 hours in the air over Canada and the U.S. (14,000 of which under Carson Air’s banner). While the aircraft’s time in commercial service may be over, its utility as a teaching tool will go on for years, says Dale Martell, AME program lead. “It will be utilized primarily for structures and electrical training,” said Martell. “Electrical is one of the most challenging areas facing AME students, and so the hands-on experience they can get by working on an aircraft of this complexity is invaluable.” More information about the AME program is available at www.okanagan.bc.ca/ame.

Vipers mix up seating chart Silverbacks here tonight KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

Mark Ferner turned off the video machine and did some old fashioned teaching Sunday at Kal Tire Place. The Vernon Vipers head coach/GM, bewildered after “our worst weekend of the season,” changed the seating plan in the B.C. Hockey League team’s dressing room. “I can’t let them come to the rink and look at the same people and have the same result,” said Ferner. “This way, they see the room from a different perspective. It’s a little thing and we’ll see if it works.” After yielding almost 50 shots in a 3-2 loss to the West Kelowna Warriors Friday night, the Vipers allowed 50 against the league basement-dwelling Victoria Grizzlies in a 2-0 loss Saturday night at The Big Wheel. “Our goalie’s (Andrew Shortridge) good,” deadpanned Ferner, when asked if there were any positives from falling to the Grizz (3-11-0-2). “Give them (Grizzlies) credit. Obviously, we didn’t generate enough defence or offence. We were thinking offence instead of thinking defence. We’re too easy to play against right now. “There was no urgency, not enough compete, same thing as Friday night. We need to get past some things and get to the root of the problem. From top to bottom, it’s frustrating. We, as coaches, need to find a way to make them better. Today’s (Monday) practice was good. This group is looking for someone to lead them and that starts with myself.” Ferner told the players in a four-hour get-

it-all-out meeting early Sunday morning that he has been patient through 16 games, but is ready to make some changes. He has four open cards available and wants to get a little older and tougher. Ferner and assistants Kevin Kraus and Kevin Pedersen will be demanding some push back tonight when the Snakes entertain the Salmon Arm Silverbacks (10-3-2). The Gorillas have won four straight and have the bulk of last year’s club back.

To get Jones, the Vees sent forward Jason Lavallee and future considerations to the Saskatchwan Junior Hockey League’s Flin Flon Bombers for the playing rights of D Joel Webb. The Vees then flipped Webb, plus future considerations, to the Alberta Junior Hockey League’s Sherwood Park Crusaders for Jones’ rights. Jones, 19, was in his sophomore season with Ohio State Buckeyes in the Big Ten Conference. The Edmonton native played in 29 games for the Buckeyes over parts of two seasons scoring once and collecting five assists. Prior to joining Ohio State, Jones had a decorated junior career with the Crusaders, compiling 52 goals and 96 points in 100 career games.

Valley Wood wins bronze in Harvest Hockey Classic Morning Star Staff

The Valley Wood Remanufacturing Vipers claimed the bronze medal in the Vernon Harvest Atom Hockey Classic with a 9-3 Sunday win over Coquitlam. Deagan McMillan (3) and Erik Pastro and JJ Milne, with 1+2 apiece, led the Vipers. Logan Killingbeck, Taryk Filipuzzi, Zach Milne and Bryson Helmer added singles. Austin Seibel was solid in earning the win, making a sweet glove save on a penalty shot late in the third period.

“That was the most complete game of the season by far” said Valley Wood head coach Trevor Seibel. “Everybody came to play today; our goaltending was strong, we played outstanding defensively and all three lines contributed offensively.” The Vipers extracted some revenge after dropping their opening game of the six-team A tournament 9-5 to Coquitlam. Pastro (2+3) and Deagan McMillan (3+2) led the Vipers offensively with Josh Donison

suffering the loss. On Saturday morning, the Vipers ambushed Aldergrove 9-2 with McMillan pocketing 5+1, Cosmo Wilson rolling a deuce and Pastro posting 1+2 in support of Seibel. The Vipers then smothered Langley 19-0 with several players enjoying multiple-point nights and Donison taking the shutout.

Knights lose lead Morning Star Staff

The North Okanagan Knights are playing the league’s elite teams tough, but just can’t deliver the knockout snipe. The Knights blew a 3-1 secondperiod lead Sunday afternoon in losing 4-3 to the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League Okanagan Division leading Osoyoos Coyotes at Nor-Val Sports Centre. “In the first two periods, we didn’t give them anything,” said Knights head coach Bryant Perrier. “We panicked in the third with the lead which we have done in past games. We just don’t have the killer instinct. We’re in every game; we’re not getting blown out.” While the Coyotes enjoyed a 54-19 shot advantage, Perrier said 60 per cent of those were from outside the slot. Enderby 20-year-old Graham Watkins bagged a deuce for the 3-11-0-2 Knights, who have lost nine straight. Watkins converted 2:26 apart late in the second period, making it 3-1. He has five goals on the season. Reid Wilson clicked on a powerplay 74 seconds into the middle frame for the Coyotes (9-4-0-1) Colin Robin answered for the Knights eight minutes later on a powerplay. Robin, a third-year veteran out of Fort St. James, has four goals. Watkins was named game star for

the Knights before 125 fans. He was highly effective on a line with Austin Fournier and newly-acquired Scott Latwat. “He played with lots of emotion; he came to play,” said Bryant, of Watkins. Spokane product Bobby LaRue struck twice four minutes apart midway through the third period for the Coyotes. Calgary’s Daniel Stone recorded the winner 24 seconds after LaRue’s equalizer for his sixth of the year. LaRue has seven snipes. Perrier, who had a month to recruit players once being hired in early June, realizes it’s a rebuilding season but he may tweak his roster some more. Latwat, a gritty winger who turns 19 in November, was released by the KIJHL Kamloops Storm. The 5-foot11, 175-pound Vernon product split last year between the Knights and Grand Forks Border Bruins, getting two goals and six points. The Knights also signed puckmoving d-man Rhys Colpron of Kelowna. The 6-foot, 185-pounder had two goals in eight games with North Okanagan last season. He’s 18. The Knights host the Nelson Leafs (10-5) Friday night and entertain the Beaver Valley Nite Hawks (13-2) Saturday night. Nelson is riding a five-game winning streak, while Beaver Valley has won six straight. The Kimberley Dynamiters are first at 13-1-0-2.

The No. 2 ranked AA Fulton Maroons won the Thompson Rivers University 24-team senior boys volleyball tournament in Kamloops. The Maroons stopped Winnipeg’s third-ranked AAAA St. Paul’s Crusaders in Saturday’s final, falling 30-28 in Game 1 before ringing up wins of 25-19, 15-12 for gold. Fulton went undefeated in pool play defeating Kamloops Christian Eagles (2511, 25-14), Delta Pacers (25-14, 25-21) and Okanagan Mission Huskies of Kelowna (25-23, 25-20). An automatic berth into the quarterfinals matched them up with D.P. Todd Trojans of Prince George with the Maroons taking the opening game 25-16. The Maroons clawed from behind in Game 2 for a 29-27 thrilling win highlighted by some monster blocks on the Trojans’ top hitter by Ryan Doerges and Landon Currie. Fulton then stuffed the Ecole Secondaire McRoberts Strikers of Richmond 25-21, 25-14 in the semifinal. “The first day we did not play very inspired volleyball,” said Fulton head coach Richard Bedard. “The boys are experienced enough to pull out the win, but they knew they had to do more. On Saturday, the team started to play to their potential. Ryan Doerges was solid in passing and digging, while Bryn Bedard was still working hard at getting the offence to full potential. “Jordy Barr and Christian Harpe continue to improve every match and contributed with some key blocks and hits.” All-stars were Danny Aspenlieder and Currie. The Maroons play a showcase match against second-ranked AAA Mt. Boucherie Bears of West Kelowna Friday at Fulton at 1:45 p.m.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder WHAT IS THE EXCEPTION TO THE GENERAL RULE? Robert J. Sawyer, a Canadian science fiction writer who has won a Hugo and a Nebula award, said, “General principles should not be based on exceptional cases.” That is true, but bridge thrives on exceptions. Over the last two days, we have looked at the general principle for a defender’s overruff: Do so with any singleton, doubleton kinglow, doubleton queen-low, and with tripleton queenlow-low unless partner rates to be short in the suit. But do not overruff with an honour that will still score a trick later and a lower card that might have been promoted as a winner.

Does today’s deal fit the bill, or is it an exception? West is defending against four spades. He leads his singleton heart. East wins with his queen, dropping South’s jack, and returns the heart 10. After South ruffs with the spade queen, how should West defend? In yesterday’s deal, West started with K-10-x of trumps, and by not overruffing, his 10 became a trick. In that deal, though, partner could not have an immediate entry. Here, East has carefully led the heart 10, a suit-preference signal for diamonds. West should overruff and shift to a diamond. East will take two tricks in that suit, then lead another heart to promote a second trump trick for West and result in down two.

Note that if West does not overruff at trick two, South will probably cash his spade ace, then turn to clubs to discard his diamonds and get home. But, yes, he might not. The key defensive point, though, is to overruff when your side has winners to cash in another suit.

Elizabeth (Bette) Mary Wilson On a cold and dreary autumn day Bette Wilson passed away.

No euphemisms for her, no “pushing up daisies” She considered such phrases intellectually lazy. The simple fact remains – Bette’s gone, but not forgotten. To forget such a woman would be unforgivably rotten.

Elizabeth (Bette) Mary Wilson, born July 29, 1920 in Grande Prairie, Alberta, died October 18th, 2015 at the age of 95 in Heritage Square retirement home in Vernon, B.C. She is predeceased by her parents: Joseph and Frances Nora (Grainger) Tissington, also by sister Colleen Irons and brothers Ross and Eric . She is survived by her children; Mima Colleen Wilson of Vancouver, B.C., John Grainger Wilson and his wife Susan (Weatherall) of Revelstoke, B.C., Byron Keith Wilson and his wife Karla Reimer of Lake Country, B.C., Shelley Elizabeth Wilson and her husband Peter Chinneck of Kanata, Ontario; grandchildren Keith Cecil Laurier Wilson, Geoffrey Grainger Wilson, Griffin Joseph Gilbert Chinneck, Madeleine Mima Anne Chinneck; great grandchild Evelyn Susan Wilson, one brother, Frank Malcolm Tissington and his wife Arlie of Sidney, B.C., sister-in-law Norma Tissington of Kelowna, B.C. and numerous nieces and nephews. At Bette’s request there will be no formal Funeral For those so desiring, donations can be made to the C.N.I.B.

Like Sam McGee, Bette insisted on a cremation But first, here’s a short rhyme of commemoration. The verse is a tribute to Bette, of course. Like her traditional year-end doggerel, only worse. She was a child of the roaring twenties and she roared through life Whether as mother, grandmother, shopkeeper or wife. She had many great loves (no, none were named John) More like gin and tonic, a borrowed smoke to drag on, And cats and old movies and a good game of bridge Not to mention Larry Walker, our boy from Maple Ridge.

OZEROW, Alex

She loved all her children – two girls and two boys But was less enamoured by the accompanying noise. As her kids grew up, the family started to swell. Producing four grandkids and a great granddaughter as well. They all were loved by their wee little granny She’d kiss them and hug them and smack each one’s fanny. Here are some stray thoughts that just popped into my head When you came for a visit, she’d try to give up her own bed. Her fridge, though, was rather depressing Like a museum of dangerously old salad dressing. And speaking of things that could make you quite sick, She really, really, really, hated Tricky Dick. Conversely, she loved Trudeau the senior. From the first time she saw him, she was a political keener. Also, she was famous for her specialty dishes Her banana doughnuts, for instance, were very delicious. There’s nothing good to say about her twilight years. It was cruel and unkind As dementia dulled a once sharp mind. Yet her condition also allowed to her complete her bucket list: She smacked a Tory and I definitely do not mean kissed. With Bette gone, well gee whiz Life is like a G&T without any fizz. She didn’t believe in an afterlife, but still I can’t help but hope that She is somewhere where there is baseball, good books, good friends … and a cat.

Information

Alex and his wife Patricia were married in 1951 and were married for 52 years before she passed away. They were both ‘young souls’ through their journey in life. His grandchildren were a joy to him. He often played a game of tag with them and his daughter remembers fondly him shouting “LAST TAG!” God saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb So He closed your weary eyelids And whispered, “Peace be thine” Alex is survived by his daughter, Jennifer Jolly; son, Robin Ozerow and spouse Dianne; grandchildren, Ryan Jolly and spouse Megan of Calgary, Shawn Jolly and spouse Lindsay of Victoria, BC, Byron Tallis of Revelstoke, BC, Eric Tallis of Victoria, BC; great-grandchildren, Connor Jolly of Calgary and Abbey Smith of Victoria, BC; sister, Margaret Vanin; niece, Jan Vermette and her family Laurie and Oliver Ogden all from Moosejaw, SK; and numerous extended family members. Alex was predeceased by his wife, Patricia Belle Ozerow in 2003; baby son, David; parents, Alex and Anastasia Ozeroff; and brother, Joe Ozeroff. Memorial Services will be held at a later date. Condolences may be forwarded through www.mcinnisandholloway.com. If friends so desire, memorial tributes may be made directly to The Alzheimer Society of Calgary, www.alzheimercalgary. com.

Alex worked as a train dispatcher for CP Rail for more than 40 years. He was a faithful hockey fan for the Vernon Vipers. Alex was a contributing member of the #3557 Fraternal Order of Eagles and Elks Lodge #45 of Vernon, BC.

She hated the cold – she found it depressing and bleak. Especially after years in Grande Prairie, Winnipeg, and Dawson Creek. So moving to Vernon with its sun and dry heat Was something she found especially sweet.
