Star digging up new terrain for winter RICHARD ROLKE

Morning Star Staff
nowflakes are falling and that’s putting pressure on staff at Silver Star Mountain Resort. Activity is escalating as crews ensure the existing slopes and new terrain are ready for the projected alpine opening Nov. 26. “In the ski industry, nothing happens until the last minute and we’re in the last minute,” said Brad Baker, operations director. After a successful summer season of hiking and mountain biking, Baker started looking towards winter and logging of 130 acres began to open up new terrain and a new race centre. “When we got word to go, it was hair straight back go,” he said. Large piles of burning debris dot the landscape and it’s hoped they will disappear long before the first skiers hit the slopes. The logging has been selective, leaving a mix of species, as well as older and younger trees. “We don’t want just balsam of a certain maturity so if a pest comes in, it wipes everything out,” said Baker. A harvesting license must be obtained from the Ministry of Forests and there is also consultation with the Okanagan and Splatsin First Nations. While some people see a rough hill, Baker envisions white powder waiting for skiers. “It’s a little bump that adds a little excitement.” Additional tree skiing is in the Putnam Creek and Silver Woods areas. “There’s some excitement. We try to bring more value to our pass holders,” said Anne Haight, sales and marketing director. Over at Cloud 9, the run has been expanded by 12 acres to create the new race centre. “We took a lot of humps and bumps out. We reworked the whole run,” said Baker. “The idea is to put the whole race program here. It will bring the caliber of the teams up. There will be certain days when there’s not racing, and it will be open for everyone to recreate.” The former race centre, Big Dipper, will return to daily skiing and snowboarding use. With the trees gone at Cloud 9, native grass seed will be planted. “The forest floor will produce huckleber-

ries and other food for the wildlife,” said Baker as deer walk by in the distance. Including the new terrain, Silver Star now has 3,282 skiable acres, with a total of 9,000 acres within the resort’s management area. Currently, a master plan is being developed with the provincial government. “There’s still lots of terrain for future development,” said Baker. When he’s not looking to the future, Baker is ensuring the upcoming season moves ahead, and that includes mowing

As Baker tours the resort Wednesday, he stops at the gateway to Just Dandy, Wee Willie and Davidson’s Delight Pipeline, with spectacular views of Trinity Valley and the Monashees. “The great thing is cell phones don’t work here,” he laughs. A short distance later, Baker is pointing out Chute 5, with its 4,500-foot drop. “Other resorts can’t hold a candle to us for extreme,” he said. “This is one of the first runs everyone heads to on a powder morning.” To maintain the landscape and meet the needs of skiers, an army of equipment is needed — everything from groomers and snowmobiles to snow blowers and a zam-

boni for Brewer’s Pond. “We’re getting two new snowcats. It’s about $1 million for the two,” said Baker. “We have one of the most modern fleets for grooming equipment.” But not all of the work is just on the slopes. In the village, the Saloon is being converted into a new restaurant, the Red Antler. “It will have garage doors so we can open them up in the summer,” said Haight. Presently, season pass tickets are being sold to local residents while skiers from across Canada and internationally are making plans for vacations. That means restaurants are gearing up and shelves are being stocked in the village shops. “It’s exciting. We’re bringing in staff and meeting the team we will be with over the winter,” said Baker.

Parents relieved to have bus routes returned Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff
Cherryville parents, grandparents and students made the trip to Vernon Wednesday night to voice their concerns about cuts to school bus routes in their community. But they received unexpected good news and learned that the Vernon School District has decided to reinstate the rural routes that had been cut earlier this year. At the district board meeting, secretary-treasurer Sterling Olson said the routes should be back in service by Nov. 9. “There have been a few issues raised with regards to some reductions, and trustees and parents have expressed their concerns,” he said. “We’ve had meetings with the regional district and have asked our transportation supervisor to
“I live at the end of Sugar Lake Road so this is a huge relief for me.” — Kara Zeolkowski
collect information from other boards on how they handle the outlying areas. “I think this is a creative way to solve that, it’s a nice solution to provide some support and service. I know it won’t address all the concerns, but it at least provides some solution.” Earlier this year, the board cut service to Sugar Lake Road in Cherryville and Creighton Valley Road in rural Lumby, in an effort to save money. Since the cuts, parents have
expressed concern that without buses, children will have to walk long distances along Sugar Lake Road, which has narrow shoulders and is frequently used by logging trucks. The Sugar Lake Road route will now be reinstated, and Creighton Valley Road will be partially reinstated, not to its original route but to 1129 Creighton Valley Rd. “We’re in phase three of our busing plan, where we made some changes to the Fulton family of schools and in phase two we added
some stops for Beairsto kids on the west side,” said district superintendent Joe Rogers. “We see how things are working and then we readjust.” Trustee Doris Squair, who lives in rural Lumby, said Cherryville parents appreciate that their concerns have been heard. “With Cherryville school, more than 92 per cent of kids are transported and so this makes me very relieved. I know not everyone appreciates this and what rural areas are like,” she said. Sugar Lake Road resident Kara Zeolkowski has four children — one at Charles Bloom secondary and three at Cherryville elementary — and she had expressed her concern that the new bus stop would have been 9.4 km from her home.
“I live at the end of Sugar Lake Road, so this is a huge relief for me,” she said. “In the future, if this happens, can we please get a lot more notice. I would have liked more communication with parents, because this affects us a lot.”

Homeless camps a rising concern RICHARD ROLKE
“There are turn-aways quite often at the shelter.”
Morning Star Staff
Politicians at all levels are being urged to address the needs of the homeless or those at risk of finding themselves on the street. Vernon council was told Monday that six homeless camps were recently found in the community. “We do need more affordable and supportive housing,” said Annette Sharkey, with the Social Planning Council. A major move forward is B.C. Housing purchased the former Journey Inn motel downtown. Thirty-eight units will be operated as affordable housing under contract by the John Howard Society. Many of the tenants will be employed but the cost of housing is challenging for them. Others will be seniors who have
— Sharkey
been in transitional housing. Beyond permanent housing, concerns revolve around temporary shelter space for the homeless. “There are turn-aways quite often at the shelter,” said Sharkey. “There isn’t enough room to bring everyone in.” One of the most significant gaps, according to Sharkey, is a lack of a women’s shelter.
A business model has been developed for a women’s shelter, and particularly for those with addictions. However, a funding source has not been located. The Social Planning Council, the City of Vernon and other agencies have a 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. “It’s quite unique and does not happen in every community,” said Sharkey of the city’s bylaw compliance department being proactive to assist the homeless. The recent increase in homeless camps may be partially a result of the closure of the Green Valley Motel and its tenants not finding new residences.
Politician investigates Polson safety RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Scott Anderson
Perceptions about safety are being challenged in Vernon’s Polson Park. Coun. Scott Anderson says he has visited the park and talked to a number of residents after hearing regularly that the landmark site is prone to criminal activity
and is dangerous. “There doesn’t seem to be a real outcry over safety during the daylight, including from single women,” he said. “That doesn’t speak to nighttime of course and that’s a different story.” Anderson says he plans to spend some time in the park dur-
ing evening hours to get a sense of what goes on there. In recent months, the body of a man was found in the park and three individuals are facing charges related to the matter. In another case, a city worker was picked up and tossed over the shoulder of someone in the park.

News Enderby food bank proceeds Morning Star Staff
The restructuring of Enderby’s food bank is well underway. A board of directors has the goal of continuing the community program after Vernon’s Salvation Army decided to withdraw from the service. “A monthly food hamper program is crucial to the health of our community,” said Scott Hemenway, Feed Enderby and District Food Bank chairperson. “We are determined to have a food bank that effectively meets Enderby’s needs. Without the Salvation Army on board, Enderby has to find other ways to keep our cupboards full and hampers going out the door every month.” The food bank currently has sufficient resources to carry on with the Nov. 20 food bank and the annual Realtors Food Drive in early December helps fill Christmas hampers distributed Dec. 18. “After that, we will be looking at empty cupboards and very little money in the bank,” said Hemenway. “But we are working to change that.” FED is being operated under the umbrella of the Food Action Committee for Today and Tomorrow, which currently runs as part of the Enderby and District Community Resource Centre. But FED is in the process of registering with Food Banks B.C. and FACT will apply to be a charitable society in the new year. “Being part of Food Banks B.C. will give Enderby access to its national food sharing system and that will be extremely helpful,” said Hemenway. “But we will need help get us through what we expect to be a lean period.” FED is hoping other community groups offering food hampers join together. “We want to be effective in how we deliver this important service and how we use community resources,” said Hemenway. “So we would like to see all the different groups doing hampers to come together and do it at FED.” The Enderby Evangelical Chapel provides an average of three to four food hampers each week to people in need but the chapel is discontinuing its food hampers and providing FED with $800. EDCRC’s emergency food pantry is also being phased out after Nov. 3 and any leftover food and funds will be transferred to FED. FED is currently creating its policies and procedures manual and wants to increase awareness about the need for donations and that the food bank is still operating at St. Andrew’s United Church. Food bank volunteers begin intake interviews for Christmas hampers Nov. 27. People can call 250-838-7315 for an intake appointment.

“I think this is a huge opportunity,” said Enderby Mayor Greg McCune, who has offered warehouse space at Sutherland’s Bakery to FED. “I really think our community will rally and make this a huge success.” Tax receipts for donations to FED are being issued by the EDCRC. Food donations can be dropped off at St. Andrew’s United Church.

here’s a new James Bond film coming out, and I know I’ll go see it the way I have all the others. Why? Because I want to be a danger-loving, woman-chasing spy? No; I’d just like to be able to do things without studying or practicing, like Bond. Remember when James Bond out-golfed Goldfinger by one stroke? Bond never practiced, never spent a minute on the driving range, but he played like a pro. I play golf three times a week and I get worse, not better. Jim Mullen Bond walks through Q’s laboratory, picks up the latest gadget and knows how it works instantly -- without ever having read the manual. I still don’t know what some of the buttons on my microwave do, and we’ve had it for years. It takes me 15 minutes in a rental car to figure out how to turn on the lights and the radio. James Bond jumps into the world’s newest and most sophisticated fighter jet and, never having seen it before, flies it like a Blue Angel. I go to a casino and I lose every single hand, every roll of the dice. Bond? It’s like the place is his personal cash machine. He knows all the dealers and all the bartenders. He’s just come in to withdraw a few hundred thousand dollars. The computer I’ve been using for years still figures out new and exciting ways to frustrate me. Bond walks into a strange office and downloads gigantic secret files onto a thumb drive between the time the doorknob starts to turn and when the door actually opens. My computer is still buffering a movie I wanted to see two nights ago. Could Bond please come to my house and get my printer and my computer to talk to one another? Bond flies from London to Rio and before he even gets to his hotel, he has three dirtbike chases and a parachute jump, then pilots a mini-submarine to a yacht waiting in the

harbor. There, he meets the second mostattractive woman on Earth and promptly goes to bed with her. That evening, Bond will turn up at a casino in a custom-made tuxedo that can be turned inside-out to become a Level 5 hazmat suit. But where did he get the tux? The great mystery of all James Bond films is not how Bond is going to stop the villain from destroying the planet, but how Bond’s clothes get to his hotel room. You never see him carry any luggage. He never waits at the baggage carousel. Who wouldn’t travel -- never mind golf, ski or program their own computer -- if it was really that easy? I flew from New York to London last year, and I have never been so exhausted in my life. The people in first class looked tired, the people in business class looked sickly and the people in my class, Abusive Coach, looked beaten. The flight was so numbing that it only took one flight attendant to tie down our “drunken air rage” passenger. Nobody on the plane was up for one dirt-bike chase, much less three of them. My feet hurt, my clothes were rumpled ... Don’t 007’s feet ever hurt? Doesn’t he ever get jet lag? Doesn’t he ever spend two hours going through customs? I wasn’t met at the airport by a sexy female driver with a double-entendre name like Vi Agra who would flirt with me as she drove me to my swanky hotel in a brand-new Maserati convertible. No, I took mass transit to what had once been a meager one-star hotel, but was now seedy and faded. My hotel room had no grand staircase, no gilt furniture, no fresh-cut flowers, no wet bar, no spectacular view. On the plus side, there was no one waiting in the room to kill me. How could there have been? There wasn’t space for another human being in that room. Besides, they probably expected the germs on the bed cover to get the job done. But I did feel very James Bondish. Thanks to the airline, I, too, arrived luggage-free. Just not on purpose. Contact Jim Mullen at JimMullenBooks. com.
There was proof Wednesday night that bureaucracy can shift to address concerns. After announcing earlier this year that school bus routes would be cut in Cherryville and rural Lumby, the Vernon School District restored the service completely in some cases and partially in others. “I know it won’t address all of the concerns but it at least provides some solution,” said Sterling Olson, secretary-treasurer. The district’s decision was greeted with enthusiasm from Cherryville resident Kara Zeolkowski. “I live at the end of Sugar Lake Road so this is a huge relief for me,” she said of recently having to ensure her three children made the the 9.4-kilometre distance between their home and the school bus. Driving back and forth became the reality for Zeolkowski as Sugar Lake Road has no shoulders to walk on and is busy with logging trucks — not an ideal situation for children. But while the district’s change in policy is positive, this entire situation could have been avoided if trustees and administration had sat down first with parents and community leaders. Had they done so, they would have learned that what works in urban areas like Vernon and most of Coldstream doesn’t necessarily translate in rural communities where there are large acreages and considerable distances. One could make the case that rural residents shouldn’t expect the same level of service as larger centres, but these are communities that have existed for decades and buses to school have been available for years. While praising the board Wednesday, Zeolkowski urged trustees to reach out to residents if transportation cuts arise again. “I would have liked more communication with parents because this affects us a lot,” she said. Hopefully the district has learned a lesson.

Province needs to do more
nvironment Minister Mary Polak, thank you for your response to my letter this past summer. In your reply, you outlined what the province of B.C. is doing to protect us from an infestation of zebra and quagga mussels. None of this was new information, and all together, it is still not enough. You did recognize that “there is still work to be done.” I couldn’t agree more. With the expertise gained from a year of full-time research on this issue, I again urge you to act immediately and decisively. Recently, news broke out of Manitoba that after only two years, Lake Winnipeg is already seeing an infestation of epic proportions. In the words of University of Winnipeg professor Dr. Eva Pip, as reported by Global News, “The problem is irreversible and in fact it’s a catastrophe, it’s a WITH GRATITUDE On Aug. 24 at about 5:45 a.m. I had a close encounter with a cow elk just south of the drive-in by Enderby while riding my motorcycle to work. The end result of this close encounter found me lying on my back in the middle of Highway 97 after some out of control gymnastic moves. Within a minute of coming to rest, albeit painful rest, I heard a voice behind me announcing himself as a first aid attendant, that he was there to help me and he was also a biker. He told me to stay still at which point he started directing traffic. I wasn’t going anywhere so I continued staring into space while wiggling my toes to make sure they were still operational. Within a couple of minutes, two passing medics and a female nurse from Alberta stopped to assist. I was tended to by these folks until the ambulance and crew arrived on scene. The ambulance crew carefully loaded me up and delivered me to the emergency ward at Shuswap Lake General Hospital in Salmon Arm. I was handed off by the ambulance crew; Terry (thank you for the hand squeeze, I needed that) and her
disaster. It’s very sad because all we have to look forward to now in Lake Winnipeg is a complete and eventual collapse of our ecosystem.” This is not unexpected news, but still it is an urgent reminder of the danger that
partner Ross into the first-class care of Dr. Glanville and Tracy (RN). I have had a few weeks to both heal and reflect on the happenings of that day. There is nothing that I can say to express my gratitude to the people that stopped to help me; they did so unconditionally and rendered aid to someone they didn’t know. To the ambulance crew who were absolutely professional and caring, a huge thanks. To the staff at the hospital, what can I say. They were top notch. I got over being stitched up without freezing. A special thank you to two folks. To Bob Nuttall, who was the first person that stopped and made sure I was safe. He stayed at the scene long after I was gone and looked after getting my motorcycle loaded up and moved to Rod’s Towing. Secondly, to a young woman named Lisa, who turns out is a neighbour I had never met. She collected and texted me the names of the people that stopped to help, she used my phone to conduct some business for me and even took the time to snap a couple of pictures of me while I wasn’t at my best. Thank you to Bob Nuttall, Megan Doyle, Jamie Couch, Brian Wess, Kim Jesperen, Terry, Ross, Dr.
B.C. faces. In your letter, you spoke of a “perimeter defence” strategy to protect all of Western Canada and the Columbia Basin. The wisdom of this plan is clear, but it is still very far from completion.
Glanville, Tracy, Lisa and of course my wife, Beverly, who became my nurse, personal chef and chauffeur. I can’t repay you with words but I can pay forward which I guarantee I will. I am grateful to be alive. I am grateful to have been exposed to people being humans, caring humans who just stopped to help an old biker lying out on the road. Thanks. Jerry Epp PICKLEBALL IN PARK As you are all likely aware, the Vernon Pickleball Club is actively working with the City of Vernon to build a dedicated pickleball facility. The favoured location is Polson Park, which my wife and I both support. We are not residents of the City of Vernon but we do have a small cottage on Okanagan Landing Road and we pay taxes to the City of Vernon. We also belong the Vernon Pickleball Club and play the game at existing venues whenever we are in the city. The need for a dedicated outdoor facility is very obvious to us and we believe Polson Park would be a wonderful location. It is beautiful; it is central and will certainly open
Saskatchewan is doing practically nothing. Alberta has mandatory inspections at its eastern border, but those inspections only run during regular working hours. A very real scenario still exists where a contaminated boat could cross through Alberta after the inspectors have gone home for the day, slip past one of B.C.’s roving teams, and launch in our waters. Until such time as this perimeter defence is fully in place, you must have an unbroken wall at our border. Whether you are co-ordinating with other jurisdictions or not, a system of rendezvousing with potentially infested boats after they have entered B.C. is illogical and irresponsible. The only acceptable system for protecting our province is stopping and inspecting 100 per cent of boats before they enter our province. When can we expect to see that in place? Brynne Morrice
the park to local residents and visitors alike. Indeed, the location itself will be a huge draw for tournaments. That will bring added stimulus to local stores, restaurants and motels. We hope that the City of Vernon will look favourably at making Polson Park the location of choice for a dedicated outdoor pickleball facility. Steve and Jacqueline Truch THANK YOU I was hoping to ask if you may send a shout out to a man in the newspaper in the hopes he sees it and know how grateful I am for his kind generosity. My daughter, who is almost two-years-old, and I were biking to a family member's house for dinner. We were passing through Polson Park when the kind man pulled over and asked if I am a mother. I responded yes and he gave us $15 for my daughter and I for Thanksgiving. It was such a kind, selfless and generous thought that I plan to pay forward, and I can't even elucidate how grateful we are for his kindness.
Thank you sir for your kindness, we hope you had a very happy Thanksgiving. Name Withheld

After all the little ghosts, goblins, Minions and Elsas have tuckered out from trick or treating, the skies will light up with fireworks across the North Okanagan. Halloween fireworks take place in virtually every community outside of Vernon with most starting around 8 p.m. Warm up around the bonfire at the BX-Swan Lake Fire Department, starting at 6:30 p.m. before a “spectacular” light show at 8 p.m. “It will be bigger and better than normal,” said chief Bill Wacey, who reminds residents that the department will unfortunately not be hosting a concession due to the construction at the hall.

out enjoying Halloween can reduce the risk of injury by following these tips: n Check all around you. Pedestrians may cut through driveways, alleys and parking lots. Others may cross in the middle of the road. Drive slowly and with extra caution in residential areas. n Leave the phone alone. Distracted driving is illegal and one of the main causes of crashes with pedestrians. n Secure your car. Halloween ranks second to New Year’s Day for vehicle vandalism. Park your car in your garage. If you park on the street, park in a well-lit area. Remove all valuables and lock your car. n Be visible. Add reflective tape to costumes and supply children with a flashlight or glow stick to increase their visibility to drivers. Always accompany small children.

n Masks may obscure vision. Try to use makeup instead of a mask for better vision. n Walk in groups to help drivers and others see you and your children. Have enough adults to safely accompany the children. n Plan for a safe ride home. If your festivities include alcohol, get a designated driver or bring money for a taxi. If you are hosting a party, make sure your guests get home safe. The City of Vernon has partnered with ICBC to promote safety for trick or treaters by offering free reflectors that attach to backpacks or clothing to increase visibility. The reflectors are available from reception at city hall or the Vernon Recreation Complex. Fire safety is also urged by the National Fire Prevention Association: n Avoid masks and costumes that obstruct visibility or consist of billowy materials n Instead of candles, use battery operated candles or glow sticks in your Jack-o-lanterns, candelabras and other spooky decorations n Remind children to keep clear of jacko-lanterns and other decorations that do have candles and open flames n Keep flammable decorations, such as dried flowers, cornstalks, costumed characters and craft paper, away from candles, fireplaces and other open flames and heat sources

A hair-raising affair is set to make a difference in the lives of women and children both locally and abroad. Chelsey Ingbrigtson, 29, a Vernon resident and hairstylist, is raising funds for the Vernon Women’s Transition House and the Sweet Smiles Society. Ingbrigtson and two other local residents have vowed to cut their hair to raise funds at The Hair Raising Affair Nov. 7 from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Mackie Lake House. The evening includes drinks, appies, a mystery wine grab, silent auction, Colour Me Hair pieces and live music. Kerah Trottier, 11, will donate nine inches of hair when $2,000 is raised and Dawn Lypchuk will donate her locks when $4,000 is raised. And when the $6,000 mark is reached, Ingbrigtson will cut two feet of her hair for the Angel Hair for Kids Foundation, which provides wigs for financially disadvantaged children suffering from burns and cancer. “I’ve been growing my hair for six-and-a-half years for this,” said Ingbrigtson, whose hair is down to her waist. “I am a hair stylist who hasn’t coloured threequarters of my hair for that time. “I was waiting for someone or something to inspire me to finally make that final cut and that time has finally come.”

Vernon hairstylist Chelsey Ingbrigtson is putting on A Hair Raising Affair Nov. 7 in support of disadvantaged women and children. Ingbrigtson, as well as Dawn Lypchuk and Kerah Trottier (also pictured) will also be cutting their hair in support of the cause. Spreading hope and protecting women and children near and far was the cause that spoke to Ingbrigston. The Sweet Smiles Society helps children who have been rescued from the streets of Mexico, many of whom have been exploited, abused, abandoned and forced into the sex trade. “Helping children live the lives that they shold be living is our key goal,” said Barrita Durward, Sweet Smiles Society founder and president. Locally, the Vernon Women’s Transition House provides shelter, food and support services to women and children leaving abusive situations. Over the past year, it has served 487 women and children with shelter, support and meals, and there were about 4,952 bed stays. “We turn away between 30 to 40 women and children a month as we are full,” states the Transition House. For more information visit www.gofundme.com/hairraisingaffair. For tickets, contact Chelsey at Evolve Studio (250-9384284) or through their Facebook page.

their kids about drugs. Dr. Marvin Krank will provide a public presentation Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Vernon Secondary School. “Talking To Your Kids About Drugs will outline some of the common yet inaccurate and risky misconceptions youth have about drugs and alcohol,” said Krank, professor of psychology at UBC’s Okanagan campus. His research focuses on the development of substance abuse in teens and young adults. Over the past 20 years he has studied the unrealistic thoughts and beliefs held by youth that lead to risky substance use and he will share that evidence at the presentation. Marvin Krank The Vernon School District encourages parents to take advantage of Krank’s expertise and advice to assist them with communicating with their kids. “Conversations with kids work best when they are honest and open,” said Doug Rogers, the school district’s substance abuse prevention counsellor. “We need to listen to our kids and offer them constructive avenues to deal with stress, anxiety and any other issues which may be bothering them.” Rogers urges parents to set clear and firm expectations and boundaries with their children while also urging them to use prevention strategies. “Our kids need to be able to say no and still maintain friendships (we need to build our kids self-esteem). Finally, we need to show our kids that they can have fun without using drugs or alcohol.” During the presentation, Krank will provide practical advice on how to interact with your kids to help shape healthier beliefs that lead to reduced substance use risks. “This talk will be of interest to all parents who want to know more about substance abuse in youth and what they might do to prevent it.” Along with being a parent, Krank’s credentials on the subject include being co-chair of the Canadian Council on Substance Abuse committees on prevention standards and recently served on the United Nations scientific advisory committee on prevention program evaluation. “Youth over-estimate how much others use and expect mostly positive effects from use. Understanding the source of these biases gives new insights into how effective prevention works,” he said. Currently, Krank is testing a new program designed to change biased thinking to delay substance use and reduce substance abuse in teens and university students.

Silverbacks brush back Vipers KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
There are 132 teams in the Canadian Junior A Hockey League. The struggling Vernon Vipers lost 6-2 to the 18th-ranked Salmon Arm Silverbacks Wednesday night before 1,605 fans at Kal Tire Place. For the Vipers, coming off a woeful double-loss weekend, taking the bigger and older Silverbacks almost to the limit was a much needed positive vibe. Head coach/GM Mark Ferner still held a 35-minute closed-door meeting after the Vipers lost their third straight, but the morgue-like feel was somewhat lifted. “It’s tough not to get the two points, but I think we had a good effort and just couldn’t get the goals that we were looking for,” said Vernon alternate captain Riley Brandt, who scored once and blocked a howitzer with his rear end killing a penalty. “We’re a young group and we had an average game. We still gotta keep working to get those two points. Hopefully, it’s a stepping stone for what’s next. It’s gonna come.” The Vipers host the last-place Trail Smoke Eaters (6-9) Friday night. The Silverbacks, who play a speed and inyer-face game, stretched their win streak to five. The Vipers showed way more urgency and pushback than they did last weekend. Nick Hutchison converted in the slot on a nice feed from second star Carson Bolduc to put the Gorillas up 93 seconds after the national anthem by Galina Labun. Hutchison’s eighth snipe of the season came after Viper winger Hunter Zandee was called for elbowing 10 seconds into the tilt. The Vipers appeared to equalize seven minutes later when Jimmy Lambert tapped in a gorgeous feed from flashy d-man Bo Pellah. Salmon Arm goalie Angus Redmond knocked the net off its mooring with Lambert approaching and the officials ruled no snipe. “It could have been a much closer game,” said Pellah, named the Fortis Energy Player of the Game for Vernon. “We got a no-goal call by the ref at the start there. I thought that should have counted because the goalie kicked the net off but you can’t blame the ref. You gotta compete for the full 60.” Josh Blanchard picked up a turnover deep in the Vernon zone while killing a penalty and made it 2-0 with 2:27 left in the opening 20. The Vipers responded on a power play 86 seconds later with captain Colton McCarthy
knocking in a loose puck from in tight on Redmond. Darren Rizzolo took the point shot after a nifty feed off the sidewall by Brandt. It was McCarthy’s team-high ninth. Vernon outshot Salmon Arm 16-13 in a sizzling first period and 39-37 on the night with Andrew Shortridge going the distance for the Snakes. It was anybody’s game until Vernon veteran d-man Mac Ferner bounced the puck off the back of the Viper net right to Ross Heidt, who beat a stunned Shortridge at 13:42. It was Heidt’s team-leading 12th goal of the year. The Vipers lost focus in the final five minutes of the third, allowing three goals in just over two minutes. Marcus Mitchell (5th), Vernon product Colton Thibault (8th), with McCarthy serving a slashing penalty, and Chase Zieky (4th), on a sweet redirect of a Jared Turcotte pass, completed the Silverback offence. Brandt one-timed a slapper after a gorgeous cross-ice pass from Pellah for the Vipers’ secLISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR ond goal.

Venom go Jamming Morning Star Staff
The red-hot Vernon Under 12 Venom went 3-0 at the Osoyoos Ringette Jamming Jamboree last weekend. The Venom opened by shading Kelowna 4-3 with Jordan Tung stonewalling a wide open shooter in the final 90 seconds. Makenna Jackson and Hillary Quiring neatly worked a give-andgo for Vernon’s first snipe. Kelowna answered before Brianna Visser converted from Taylor Hewitt. Quiring set up Jackson again late in the first period and Jackson netted the winner with a backhand, top cheddar, for the hat trick. Kristen Francks fired three goals, while Jackson and Sierra Fernley each rang up deuces as the Venom dispatched Port Moody 12-7. Aimee Skinner was a girl on a mission, starting out with a natural hat trick in the first four minutes of the game, with assists from Jackson, Hewitt, and Fernley. Quiring completed the offence. Vernon finished the Jamboree by dousing the Westside Wildfire 11-5. Caryss Hill registered a beautiful goal four minutes in, pouncing on a rebound. Jackson (3), Visser (2), Quiring, Francks, Fernley and Skinner also scored. Zion White and Sophia Bilodeau stood tall on defence, while Alyssa Patterson and Sadie Christensen had their chances buzzing around the net. The Vernon U12 Storm went 2-1 in the Osoyoos tourney. Sierra Lockhead pulled the hat trick as the Storm lost 9-7 to Coquitlam in Game 1. Chloe Scabar, Chayse Krause, Brooklyn Tardiff and Jasmine Horton chipped in singles. Goalie Shaila Austin made her debut. The Storm then grounded Kelowna Renegades 7-4 behind three snipes from Krause, a deuce from Rhys Taylor-Hawes and singles from Lockhead and Astrid Beaty. Vernon won 5-2 over the Kelowna Flash in their final game as goaltender Katrina Winstanley made several spectacular saves with the help of
defensive veterans Miah Cohen and Shaila Austin. The Vernon U16B Velocity earned a tie and suffered three tough losses in weekend play. The Velocity tied 3-3 and lost 3-2 to the same Kelowna team. Bryn Taylor-Hawes opened the scoring for Vernon in Saturday’s tie with a close-in deke of the Kelowna goalie. Miranda Chapple then scored on the rush after a sweet pass from Kinjal Koehler. Riley Marchand supplied the equalizer, unassisted, after stealing the ring in the Kelowna zone. Aleisha Smith was sharp in net for Vernon as the Kelowna team carried the advantage in shots on goal. Winter Vanderveen and Sophie Granley had several scoring chances. Taylor-Hawes again opened the scoring in Sunday’s game against Kelowna U1. Chapple scored the second goal finishing off a pass from Jillian Pipke. Assistant captain Ellen Campbell was a sparkplug throughout the weekend with hustle in both zones. Chapple had her A game going against Shuswap U16B on Sunday afternoon notching Vernon’s two goals in a 6-2 loss. Taylor-Hawes, Georgia Lannon and Giselle Torres produced assists.

Chapple rounded out the Vernon scoring with a low shot on the stick side after taking a pass from Pipke. The Vernon U10 Crushers skated to a 12-0 ambush of Salmon Arm Saturday in Enderby. Kennedy Jackson and Devyn Hildebrand had three goals each, while Ally Hobenschield and Lucia Manton had two and Emily Gilman sniped one. Natasha Vienneau played shutdown defence and went end to end to finish off the scoring. Madison Edgar posted the shutout. The Vernon U14 Ignite iced Westside 6-1, stuffed Salmon Arm 5-1 and ambushed Kelowna 13-0 with Kayla Summefelt earning the shutout.

Colin Charlton, left, of the Vernon Magnums jars the ball loose with a hit of a West Kelowna Tiger-Cat Sunday.
Magnums maul Tiger-Cats Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Magnums executed some revenge by taming the West Kelowna Tiger-Cats 43-18 in Interior Pee Wee Football League play Sunday at Greater Vernon Athletics Park. A month ago, the Tiger-Cats handed the Magnums their worst loss of the season, physically punishing them 40-0 with their size and aggressiveness. This time, Vernon was prepared and hungry for the challenge against the No. 1 team in the league. The Magnums were up by two touchdowns early by going straight at the defence with bruising running back Skyler Broughton. The Tiger-Cats mounted a comeback, scoring three touchdowns in a row, before Vernon regained momentum and tied it 18-18 at the half. The second half was the Magnums’ time to shine. Led by some excellent open-field running by Kolby Thorpe, tough runs by Broughton and great team blocking, the Magnums took the lead for good. Thorpe finished with a game-high 238 yards and four touchdowns. Colin Charlton chipped in with two short-yardage TDs and several monstrous blocks. Broughton had a breakout game by rushing for 156 yards and a touchdown. The Magnum defence was equal to the task, not allowing a single point in the entire second half. The dee stifled the West Kelowna attack with gang tackles, low, punishing hits, forcing multiple turnovers. Charlton was all over the field with 14 tack-
les, Thorpe had seven, Broughton six and Brady Devries, Dominick Kitzman, and Ethan Haber contributing four each. “It is so rewarding to see the improvement in the team from the last time we played these guys,” said Magnum head coach Tim Thorpe. “Each and every player made plays to help the team win today. The offence moved the ball all game long and the defence played extremely tough against a bigger opponent. It’s awesome to see our boys playing to their potential and having the confidence to do so.” Vernon hosts the Kelowna Riders Sunday at noon in their final regular-season tilt. In Atom play, the Magnums mauled West Kelowna 40-6. Hunter Hamilton recovered a fumble early, causing a turnover and allowing Reid Williamson to bring it back with his first of three touchdowns . Hamilton also had two completions after running a total of 140 yards. Brendan Elder and Brayden Fernley blocked effectively so Vernon quarterback Owen Ranger could score two touchdowns, one off of a fumble, with 150 total running yards. Seth Holte ran 50 yards for a TD. Jaedon Craig and Mya DeVries held the defensive line for Lochlen Kilford with seven tackles and one sack and one fumble recovery. Ranger and Williamson recorded six tackles each, followed by Morgan Hackman with three. The Magnums entertain Kelowna Sunday at 10 a.m.

Harison lifts Lions’ attack Morning Star Staff
The Interior Savings Credit Union Lions rallied from a 2-0 deficit to outlast Five Star Awards Outlaws 10-6 in North Okanagan Bantam Super Hockey League play Sunday at Kal Tire Place. Landen Harison netted 4+2 for the Lions, while Tage Kineshanko contributed 3+2 and Ryan Vandesande potted 2+1. Maisun Ang-Hamilton opened the Lions’ scoring at 10:50, assisted by Zach Manthorne, who finished with three helpers. Sapian Joe got two assists in support of Jared Ross. Elias Wery and Keenon Jeborg were clutch on defence. The Butcher Boys Rebels shaded Salmon Arm Askew’s Foods 2-1 at the Shaw Centre. The best chance in the first period belonged to Salmon Arm, but Kassidy Schaper-Kotter came up with some top-corner robbery in the Vernon net. Midway through the second, Rebels Dawson Twamley and Reilly Teager came close with some crafty combination plays around the Salmon Arm cage. On his next shift, Teager broke the deadlock, as he took Gabe Jones’s stretch pass on the right wing, cut in, and threaded the five-hole. Jakob Aeichele took over the crease for Vernon, and promptly showed his snappy glove hand. Salmon Arm besieged the Rebels and scrambled one in late in the period. The Rebel attack was unrelentless in the third. Paige Brayshaw got loose in the slot and pulled the trigger, but was again denied. Strong, heads-up play from pivot Ephren Potter-Cramer and dee Bryce Lauer and Brooklynn Walters propelled the Rebels. Connor Cecchini’s furious forechecking flustered the Salmon Arm defenders. Finally, with just over a minute left, Soon stole the puck at the Salmon Arm line, finding Ronan Bedard on the right side. The slippery winger centered to Cole Grevatt, who whipped the winning goal high. The Corbett Office Plus Kings defeated Vernon Nedco 8-2 in Midget league play Saturday night at Civic Arena. The Kings opened a string of goals 20 seconds in with Brett Lambert scoring from Adam Sacht.
The Seaton Sonics lost 22-14 to the Valleyview Vikings in Interior Junior Varsity Foorball League play Wednesday in Kamloops. Landon Colvin, who rushed for 289 yards on the day, scored both of the Sonic TDs as well as a two-point convert. Taylor Pelletier, Brennan Kennedy, Kole Duval and Liam Funk provided solid blocking on the O line while slotbacks Zack Boring, Miles Forest and corner Chris Haber tossed some key blocks in the open field for the majors. On defence, Shai Baker was the big stick with 14 tackles, while Miles Forest had 11 and Thomas
Mackiewich had eight plus an interception. Boring and Nolan Cummings both racked up five tackles and Dakota William nailed his first sack of the season. Defensive coach Lee Elliott was very pleased that his players made four goal-line stands. “Every game we get better,” said Seaton head coach Ron Kirschner. “We still missed some tackles and blocks that we shouldn’t have, but we are gelling as a team and the guys are starting to really understand the game and how to work together.” The Sonics host the Rutland Voodos Tuesday, 3 p.m. at Greater Vernon Athletics Park.
Krause pockets 10 points Morning Star Staff
Tye Krause pulled a Darryl Sittler with 6+4 as the Lumby Stars grounded Vernon Stevenson Mechanical 18-7 in North Okanagan Pee Wee Super Hockey League play Saturday at Pat Duke Memorial Arena.

Quintin O’Neill pocketed three helpers and Domenik Porteous two. Krause provided 3+1 as the Stars stopped Salmon Arm Salmar Classics 10-2 Sunday at the Shaw Centre. Catt, Young and Quibell added two goals each, while Romailler blasted one in from the point. Great defensive play came from Kaleb Pachal, Mia Maltman and Andrew Rannelli. Rookie Anthony Pratt brought his A game and Parker Stadnyk earned both wins in net.

Interior Savings Credit Union’s captain Maison AngHamilton tries slipping by Five Star Awards’ Samuel White in Bantam Super Hockey League action Sunday. Shortly after, Alyssa Raccine scored from Leland Riguedell. Sacht, Cole Bradley, Lambert and Dakota Becker added first-period snipes. Sacht converted in the second period, assisted by Riguedell. Nedco got third-period goals from Chris Moore, on a sweet dangle after a pass from Parker Wadsworth, and Eli Vlahos. Lambert clicked in the final seconds from Liam Hennig. Adam Roemer scored with 2:30 remaining as the Talon Benefits Hawks edged the Vernon Authentic Plaque & Trophy Snakes 3-2 in Midget play Sunday. Roemer, who had been denied by Jacob Holland on two third-period breakaways, nicely finished a play involving Jaden Steinke and Layk Petersen. Steinke and Rowan Wood also scored for the Hawks, who got all-world goaltending from Garrett Adams. Nick Mitchell and Talon Williams replied for the Snakes, whose MVP was Holland at Civic. Captain Tyler Semeniuk scored twice as the Snakes came from behind to clip the North Okanagan Knights 4-3 in a Saturday matinee at Nor-Val Sports Centre. Cole Martin went top cheddar for the winners with 17 seconds remaining, assists going to Branden Lehoux and Mitchell. Lehoux opened the Snakes’ offence, from Martin and Darnell Hauca. Travis Scroepfler, Liam Dill and Mike Burden had the North Okanagan goals.
Thank you to all of our supporters for what you have offered this incredible campaign - it was a truly memorable experience! Because we were striving to build stronger communities through healthy, more resilient relationships, the measure of our efforts continues to unfold. We invite you to carry on this important work through your compassionate everyday actions. With deep appreciation, Jacqui Gingras

ATV plates mandatory TOM FLETCHER Black Press
The B.C. government is making licence plates mandatory for quads, dirt bikes and other offroad vehicles starting Nov. 1, requiring helmets and restricting use by children under 16. The B.C. legislation imposes a $230 fine for driving an unlicensed off-road vehicle, and a $368 fine for careless operation. For some offences under the Off-Road Vehicle Act related to reckless use or environmental damage, penalties can go as high as a $5,000 fine and six months in jail. Forests Minister Steve Thomson said the $48 licence fee applies only once when a vehicle is purchased, and was set to recover the costs
of the program administered by ICBC. Once startup costs are paid for, a portion of the licence revenue will go to off-road clubs to use for trail improvements, Thomson said. The province estimates there are 200,000 offroad vehicles that require licensing, including snowmobiles that have been licensed since the 1970s. About 35,000 of those have registered voluntarily since the new licences were offered a year ago. Jeff Mohr, past president of the Quad Riders Association of B.C., said his members are most of the voluntary registrants so far, and they are pleased B.C. has a system to control the few users who ride recklessly or damage the environment. “We want to get more people out on the trails, sharing and enjoying the outdoors,” Mohr said. The licence system also allows police to track stolen vehicles, even if they are taken out of the province. B.C. is the last Canadian province to implement a licensing system. The Quad Riders and B.C.’s 72 snowmobile clubs are prepared to publicize the new regulations to their members, and Thomson said they will act as “eyes and ears” for conservation and natural resource enforcement officers.

Paul Taylor Dance performance is a ‘coup’ for Vernon Morning Star Staff

Dancers from Paul Taylor Dance Company perform some of Taylor’s masterworks when they arrive at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Nov. 10.

Greater Vernon is about to experience the beauty and artistry of the modern dance movement when a dance company led by one of America’s greatest living choreographers arrives in town. Paul Taylor was and still is on the forefront of American modern dance, and now the company that bears his name is about to give the season premiere of the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre’s 2015-16 dance series. “It’s a coup to bring a company of this stature to Vernon,” said the centre’s artistic director Erin Kennedy. “When I heard that Alberta Ballet was bringing the Paul Taylor Dance Company to Calgary and Edmonton, I convinced them to come here.” One of the early touring companies of American modern dance, Paul Taylor Dance Company has performed in more than 567 cities in 65 countries and still spends more than half of each performance season touring. The company’s performance in Vernon will include masterworks Esplanade, Company B, and Promethean Fire. “The dances we’re performing at the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre showcase the brilliance of Paul Taylor in a variety of dance styles and themes,” said John
Tomlinson, executive director of the Paul Taylor Dance Foundation. “These dances – a combination of classics and recent masterworks – are a marriage of some of the world’s greatest choreography performed by some the world’s finest dancers.” The last living member of the pantheon that created America’s art of modern dance, Taylor, 84, continues to create at least two new works a year for his 16-member company. His creations are still winning public and critical acclaim for their vibrancy, relevance and power, and his ideas are still a heavy influence for art of the 21st century. “I make dances because I believe in the power of contemporary dance, its immediacy, its potency, its universality,” Taylor is quoted as saying. “I make dances because that’s what I’ve spent many years teaching myself to do and it’s become what I’m best at.” Taylor’s work covers a wide range of topics, such as love, sexual orientation, feminism, war and religion. While he may propel his dancers through space for the sheer beauty of it, he more frequently uses them to illuminate such profound issues as war, piety, spirituality, sexuality, morality and mortality. Prior to founding his own company in 1954, Taylor was a student of Juilliard School
Come in and see our flyer specials on until the end of December
in New York City, and performed in the company of modern dance greats such as Martha Graham and George Balanchine. As a choreographer, he has created 140 dances including such masterworks as Aureole, Esplanade, Company B, Promethean Fire, and Beloved Renegade. Taylor’s accolades include the 1993 National Medal of Arts, which was presented to him by then U.S. President Bill Clinton, and the 1992 Kennedy Center Honors. He won an Emmy for the 1992 PBS program Speaking in Tongues. Matthew Diamond’s 1998 documentary Dancemaker, based on Taylor’s autobiography, Private Domain (1987), was nominated for an Academy Award. A new feature length documentary, Paul Taylor: Creative Domain, screened at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre last Saturday, features Taylor during his creative period choreographing Three Dubious Memories, his 133rd dance. Tickets for Paul Taylor Dance Company’s Nov. 10 performance in Vernon are $47 for adults, $44 for seniors and $42 for students, on sale now through the Ticket Seller, 250549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca. This show can also be purchased as part of the centre’s 2015/16 dance series subscription package also available at the Ticket Seller.

Elvis gets the orchestral treatment
J
elvis Presley with the royal Philharmonic orchestra: If I Can Dream
ust in time for Halloween, it’s resurrection time for Elvis! Here it’s an orchestral reimaging or reimagining, take your pick. From the first track, Burning Love, it appears that some arranger went crazy on strings and trills. It makes a great rock and roll song sound silly. Elvis’ voice will always sound great no matter the context, but in this case, they neutered the backing track. Not cool.
It’s Now or Never sounds fine with its Royal Philharmonic treatment (done at Abbey Road Studios). The orchestral treatment takes the dreamy Presley vocal and adds more of a lush syrupy bed for it to luxuriate in. This is an album for die-hard fans of The King. After all, how many more times does anybody need to hear Love Me Tender repackaged and pimped out?

2016-2020 Budget Public Input
The Regional Board has received the timeline for consideration and discussion on the proposed 2016 – 2020 Financial Plan. Two additional opportunities for public comment and feedback have been added to the process. The first will take place during the Preliminary First Draft Budget Review on February 25th. The second opportunity to hear from the public takes place March 10th. The final opportunity for public input will be provided during the March 31st Board meeting for final consideration and adoption of the budget bylaw.
Proposed Water Rates and System Bylaws
The Regional Board has given first reading to individual bylaws for each of its six water systems and proposed increases for basic fees and consumption rates. The new rates, if approved, would take effect January 1st and are designed to encourage conservation and be more equitable for low and medium water users. They will also generate sufficient revenues to cover the full operating costs of providing service and will help keep each system financially sustainable. Water customers provided feedback on the new rates during open houses last spring.
Proposed Sunset Ranch Sewer Rate
The Regional Board has given first reading to an amended Central Okanagan East Sewer Systems Bylaw which provides sanitary sewer service to properties in the Sunset Ranch strata community. In order to offset the costs from the City of Kelowna and to cover additional operational expenses the bylaw would adjust the annual rate for service by approximately 12% ($38.52 increase) for each household. The proposed bylaw includes a late payment penalty to encourage customers to keep their accounts paid and up to date.
Proposed Solid Waste Bylaw Amendment
The Regional Board has given first reading to an amendment to the Solid Waste Management Regulation Bylaw. If approved, it would add a four per cent late payment penalty.
Wildfire Prevention Initiative Funding
The Regional Board has adopted a resolution supporting an application to the Union of BC Municipalities for grants to support two wildfire prevention projects. The first project would involve fuel modification treatment on just over 7.5-hectares in Mill Creek Regional Park. The second fuel modification project would be on just over five hectares in Black Mountain / sntsk‘il’ntən Regional Park. Since the inception of the funding program, the Regional District has received more than one million dollars for a variety of fuel modification projects
FrontCounter BC Referral Application
The Regional Board has given conditional support to a Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure application to FrontCounter BC. The application requests the withdrawal of 37.46-hectares of Crown land along Trepanier Road with the purpose of transferring the land as an addition to the Westbank First Nation reserves. The Board requests the concerns identified by the District of Peachland, Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and RDCO Parks Services and any issues identified by the City of West Kelowna be addressed or applied as conditions to the application.

Street SoundS
Dean Gordon-Smith
On the other hand, the most engaging Presley releases of recent years have been releases of live Vegas and Madison Square Garden concerts. These albums were well recorded live shows where Presley and his faithful band of ace musicians are kicking out the jams and having a good time. The repertoire is fluid and tight and you get to hear the King of Rock and Roll get crazy, flirt with the ladies and joke with his audience. They (the albums) sound sweaty and electric. Here on If I Can Dream, Elvis sounds disembodied. Even
more so because his vocal has been removed from the original track and dubbed with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. It’s a grandiose undertaking but there’s too much fluff and schmaltz to make an engaging Presley record. Production-wise it’s lush and immaculate and the classic track You’ve Lost that Loving Feeling benefits greatly from the epic and shivery treatment that it receives. Presley’s saccharine soundtrack work of the 1960s (his low point) is channelled and somehow works for this song. Fever keeps that flow moving and features a sympathetic “duet” with Michael Bublé. The strongest song on this album is Bridge Over Troubled Water. That’s where the choice of material, great vocal performance and orchestral treatment create a perfect storm of drama
and grandiosity. Another king, Duane Eddy, the once and future King of Twang, also appears and adds beautifully atmospheric guitar texture. It’s a stirring track that’s been thoughtfully produced and arranged. Many songs here are best left in their original state (In the Ghetto, Love Me Tender, It’s Now or Never) and some just roll on in their maudlin way, so even an orchestral facelift doesn’t alter them. Others are just goofy, especially the cover of James Taylor’s Steamroller Blues. Bluesy it ain’t. If I Can Dream is an ambitious album that sounds sweet but actually doesn’t add anything interesting to Presley’s output. If anything, it waters down his impact and softens his edge. It would be a perfect inclusion onto an inoffensive and safe Christmas album list.

Vin Diesel stirs a witch’s brew
“A Family Business, with Family Values ” bannisterhonda.com
Ken Smedley presents THE
The last witch Hunter
A
fter losing his wife and daughter, a medieval witch hunter named Kaulder (Vin Diesel) makes it his goal to destroy the evil Witch Queen and her coven. In the process, Kaulder is cursed to live forever by the Witch Queen. Hundreds of years later, Kaulder still walks the earth, keeping modern witches in line. When his church liaison, Dolan the 36th (Michael Taylor and Howe Caine), is placed under a deathlike spell, his replacement, Dolan the 37th (Elijah Wood), helps Kaulder stop the return of the Witch Queen. We say, “The Last Witch Hunter is more fun than you might think.” TAYLOR: I wasn’t looking forward to this, but I was pleasantly surprised. The movie is technically proficient, has a reasonable plot (for a fantasy film) and fine performances. I was somewhat shocked to find Vin Diesel so likeable. His witch hunter character, although strong and capable, was gentle, calm, and friendly. I always like Michael Caine and the other performers also did nothing to annoy. The magic was colourful and sparkly. On the whole, I think fans of whimsical works and action flicks might find The Last Witch Hunter an apt marriage of the two. HOWE: I agree. I think fans of fantasy movies will enjoy this, but I found it a little too happy. We reviewed Seventh Son last year and that was too dark. The Last

Vin Diesel is an immortal in The Last Witch Hunter. Witch Hunter is too light. I am just waiting for some Goldilocks producers to get it just right. When Vin Diesel smiled it looked fake and a little creepy/scary in some parts. Caine seems to be playing the same roles nowadays, an assistant to the hero, steering him towards the greater good. Then to top it all off, they throw in Elijah Wood, who looks like he hasn’t aged since the Rings trilogy. I wonder if he still has his Precious helping with that? TAYLOR: I can’t believe I’m defending Vin Diesel, but for some reason he won me over in this picture. However, do not be mistaken, this is still a very silly thing, in a world of silly things. However, it has a plot, it makes sense and for a fantasy film, doesn’t ask much of its audience. Every bad review of The Last
Witch Hunter only disparages the film’s lacklustre box office gains. I predict it will develop a small following of dedicated nerds. It’s not great, but it is in no way bad. Between this and Pan, I’ll take the former, on a Tuesday. HOWE: The special effects are very good; the Witch Queen looked beautifully disturbing. Yet they didn’t take advantage of 3D. We have complained in the past of the over use of 3D in movies that don’t need it, but The Last Witch Hunter would have been perfect for it. The clash of sword against axe with sparks dancing and jumping off the screen would have given it a little more oomph. – Taylor gives The Last Witch Hunter 3.5 spells out of 5. – Howe gives it 3 Bic Biros out of 5.
Chorealis provides music to soothe the soul Morning Star Staff
An Okanagan choir is providing a solution for those feeling stressed, in need of a time out from their busy lifestyle, or just looking for something different on the music scene.

It will include songs by such composers as Palestrina, Byrd, Tallis, Whitaker, and the Okanagan’s own Sandra Wilmot. “This will be a new experience for both the choir and audience,” said Diana Bainbridge, with Chorealis. “The one-hour program takes place in subdued lighting, with no intros, intermission, or applause.

JCI Vernon offers alternative to gift-giving Applications now being accepted for Alternative Gift Fair Morning Star Staff
Local not-for-profit organizations and charities are invited to apply for the sixth Annual Alternative Gift Fair hosted by JCI Vernon Nov. 28. The fair offers holiday shoppers an easy way to buy gifts of charitable donations and to support their favourite causes. Each participating organization offers a variety of meaningful “gifts of help” in price ranges that start as low as $10. Shoppers receive cards and inserts that identify their donations. In the past two years, the JCI Vernon
Alternative Gift Fair has brought in more than $10,000 for both local and international organizations. Participating organizations must send a representative to the fair, where they are able to promote their current and upcoming projects that their group offers. The event will see one large difference this year: a new location. The Fairfield Inn & Suites on Anderson Way will be the venue for the 2015 JCI Vernon Alternative Gift Fair. “We considered a new location for this year’s fair. The Fairfield Inn & Suites is easily accessible off Anderson Way and offers convenient parking,” said JCI Vernon Alternative Gift Fair co-chairperson Jamie Bisset. Co-chairperson Amanda Wilms said
this is a great opportunity to give back to the local community. “We have already received positive responses from previous participating organizations and we’re excited to see them return this year,” said cWilms. “This is a great opportunity to give thoughtful gifts to those you love.” Applications are available now; please contact Bisset or Wilms at jcialternativegiftfair@gmail.com. For more information, please visit www.jcivernon.com. Deadline for completed applications is Nov. 16 at 5 p.m. The JCI Vernon Alternative Gift Fair takes place Nov. 28 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Fairfield Inn & Suites on Anderson Way. This event is sponsored by 105.7 Sun FM and the Fairfield Inn & Suites.
Web site offers an alternative to traditional therapy Morning Star Staff
If you’ve ever thought about getting therapy, but didn’t have the time, money or nerve to move forward, a new web site might change your mind. TherapyCouch.net is a new approach to helping people take those first steps on the road to positive mental health. “This is a brand new way of approaching therapy,” said the company’s founder, Louisa Link-McDowell, a Registered Clinical Counsellor with more than 20 years of experience. “No one has done this before. It’s self-guided and built around the ideals of low-cost, total privacy and total access — anytime, anywhere.” The site is an online therapy experience that uses an extensive library of private
video sessions people can use in the comfort of their own homes. Link-McDowell said that while great strides have been made in how society views getting help for mental health issues, there’s still a stigma of shame and failure associated with therapy. “We applaud others getting help, but when it’s us, sometimes it’s not so easy,” she said. “That’s where TherapyCouch.net comes in.” While working for a rural, non-profit counselling centre, Link-McDowell recognized the need for private, easily accessible mental health tools. “I would see people who had been suffering from depression for years, simply because they didn’t know where to turn,”
she said. “In a small town where you know everyone and everyone knows you, no one wants to talk about depression and abuse. This is a universal problem, not just in small towns, so there must be a better way for people to take that first step.” TherapyCouch.net offers video sessions in abuse/trauma, anger, anxiety, communication skills, depression, life balance, grief self-esteem and sleep. Each session is between three and seven minutes long and includes homework. The subscription-based site offers a five-day free trial and features a library of video sessions based on cognitive behavioral therapy techniques. The sessions are signed to help people take the first steps on the road to healing and positive mental health.

Life
A few tips for helping stressed-out teens Dr. DaviD Smith Special to The Morning Star
With the new school year well under way, children and teens will feel more stress and pressure. A certain amount of stress in our lives is normal and helps drive achievement. In fact, learning how to cope with stress and deal effectively with the demands of life are important skills that teens and young adults must develop to have happier, healthier, more productive and resilient adulthoods. Kids have always experienced stress. In my practice, however, kids seem more stressed than ever — by academic demands, by parental pressure, by the constant social media presence in their social relationships, and by their own expectations of themselves and their fears for the future. The 2013 McCreary Adolescent Survey of 60,000 B.C. youth found that 83 per cent of all youth said they had been stressed in the last month. Girls are more likely than boys at every age to report extreme stress — feeling so stressed that it prevented them from functioning properly. When stress builds with no release, it can lead to
anxiety, depression and despair. As the school year starts, here are seven proven steps that you and your kids can take to better cope with stress this year. 1) Have a family routine: The more reliable and regular the routine at your home, the more stable and in control your children will feel. Regular times for getting up, going to bed, doing homework, having dinner, doing chores and engaging in extracurricular activities all enable children to create a schedule for themselves and know what to expect. Numerous research studies have shown that regular sit down family dinners are associated with increased self-esteem and school success and lower rates of eating disorders, alcohol and substance use, and feelings of depression or thoughts of suicide. 2) Limit and monitor screen time: Social and peer group issues for many youth cause greater stress than academic pressure. In previous generations home was a refuge from that social stress. Now social media amplifies that stress 24/7. Set limits for time spent online, and
Dr. David Smith monitor what is happening with your youth online. Talk to your kids about how to be safe and how to conduct themselves with social media. 3) Ensure enough sleep: Young children need at least 12 hours of sleep a night and teenagers at least nine or ten, but many are getting much less. Adequate sleep reduces stress and increases coping skills. Don’t let kids sleep with their cell phones or laptops as late night screen time, as well as texts and emails, prevents good quality sleep. Limit caffeinated drinks; make sure you model good sleep habits, too. 4) Get regular exercise: One of the best ways to manage stress is to move. Recent studies have found that activity out-of doors, such as walking or running in nature, has great stress reduction power too. 5.) Don’t over sched-
ule: A certain amount of extracurricular activity is good for kids — it teaches them new skills, creates new friends, gives them exercise. But so many young people have so much on their plate they become overwhelmed and exhausted. Give them unscheduled downtime, too. 6) Engage in activities that provide personal value and meaning: Studies show that engaging in activities that help youth feel connected to the world and provide personal value and meaning are good for stress reduction. This can mean something different for everyone and can take the form of religious worship, nature walks, meditation, uplifting art, music or books or any other spiritual connection that helps provide purpose and perspective to our lives. 7) Learn some key stress-reduction skills: Cognitive behavioural techniques (CBT) like relaxation breathing, visualization, mindfulness meditation, thought stopping, “chunking” big tasks into smaller, doable pieces and other skills can help manage stress. In the next column, I will talk in depth about some key CBT skills
that we all should know how to do. In the meantime, check out these B.C. links for helpful articles and tips on stress and youth: keltymentalhealth.ca; anxietybc.ca; healthlinkbc.ca; mindcheck.ca. The BC chapter of the Canadian Mental Health Association has information and an interactive stress test; see cmha.bc.ca/files/ stress.htm. Dr. David Smith is an adolescent and adult psychiatrist and the medical director of the Okanagan Psychiatric services for Interior Health. This series of columns on common child and youth mental health issues is a project of the Child and Youth Mental Health and Substances Use Collaborative. The Collaborative involves multiple individuals, organizations and ministries all working together across B.C. to increase the number of children, youth and their
families receiving timely access to mental health services. The collaborative is jointly funded by Doctors of B.C. and the government of B.C. and recently won a national award for mental health initiatives given
by the College of Family Physicians of Canada. Progressive Christianity

Don’t focus on coding
W
e need to teach all of our kids to code. Really? It seems we are hearing this opinion expressed more often these days which is not surprising given that more and more things, commonplace things that we use every day, invoke some computer code. But does this justify changing our elementary school curricula to include subject Vernon PC Users’ Club mastery of the C++ programming language? We all use a toilet every day, but this doesn’t mean that we need to know the organic chemistry of sewage treatment systems. Learning to write a simple computer program that works can be satisfying and fun, but it takes a person with great patience and tolerance to high levels of frustration to develop complex and efficient software. Certainly learning the basics of how a computer works and how it differs from a handheld calculator by being able to make a decision by comparing the value of two variables, perform operations repetitively, reformat data and many other operations is valuable to one living in today’s society. Learning how to program it do all this is a
Computer question
skill that is a natural next step after gaining this basic understanding, and can lead to an interesting and rewarding career. But it’s a big step. So by all means for the kids let’s focus on computer appreciation, not coding, and weight it the same as courses in the humanities and sciences that can lead to other great jobs. The Vernon PC Users’ Club meets the second Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Schubert Centre in the cafeteria. Call Betty at 542-7024 or Grace at 549-4318 for more information.

The coolest customized Ford Transit vans By Keith Morgan
North America’s best-selling commercial van offers 58 vehicle configurations with the introduction of a dual sliding door option for 2016. And that enables owners to customize their vehicles almost beyond showfloor recognition. The manufacturer has encouraged owners to submit pictures of how they have modified their vans and have received some examples of some very clever customizations. For example, So-Gnar’s Creative Hub is a shred-ready Ford Transit and is modified with a custom boot dryer, snowboard rack, tuning bench and portable DJ booth to make snowboarding even more fun for its riders. “It’s an absolute dream of a creative hub that we can do anything out of,” says So-Gnar CEO Pat Milbery. (Check out the video: http://bit. ly/1LOZT38)
Chicago-based Windy City Limousine’s Ford Transit was converted by Battisti Customs of Elkhart, Indiana, to carry 13 passengers in luxury and style – with a wood floor, black leather couchstyle seating and two flat-screen televisions. Shultz’s Guest House uses its Ford Transit to transport orphaned dogs – sometimes from several states away – to a private 200-acre farm in Dedham, Massachusetts, where they are safe from being euthanized until permanent homes are found for them. Still on the dog theme, Wag’n Tails Mobile Conversions in Granger, Indiana, converts Ford Transit vans into fully self-contained mobile pet grooming studios, complete with full-size tubs, hydro-massage shampoo systems, grooming tables, blow dryers, vacuums and fridges.

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.

Grant Eric Kineshanko Grant passed away in the Vernon Jubilee Hospital on Monday, October 19, 2015 at the age of 60 years. Grant was a character at the very least. He was carefree, admired and loved by all those who knew him. He brought a smile to everyone’s face. Family, friends or whoever enjoyed his variety of interesting “shenanigans.” Grant really enjoyed everything about playing slow pitch softball — his friends, the skill of the game, that environment and the social activities. In his last years, he cared for and supported his mother at her home. He’ll always be remembered and missed.
Gilbexrt DeanWyse Wyse Gilbert Dean On the morning of Vernon’s first fall frost, Gilbert Dean Wyse passed away just as the last harvest had been gathered and the fields put to rest for the winter. Born in Midland, Michigan, Gil was the eldest son of Willard and Erma Wyse. He has one brother, Leland, who resides in Midland. Gil married Ardys Joanne Stoll, daughter of a Mennonite minister from Casselton, North Dakota on August 23rd, 1959. They were married 56 years. Gil and Ardy had 5 children: Jeff, Kevin, Jay, Heidi and Brad. Gil started his adult life as a teacher in Michigan. His pioneering spirit took him to Chipewyan Lakes in Northern Alberta in 1967 to teach kindergarten through grade eight in a one room school. While there he fell in love with moose hunting, fishing and driving a dog-sled team. After 3 years in this stretching environment, Gil and Ardy bought a large property in Lac La Biche, Alberta. Making use of his wife’s cheap farm labor, Gil and Ardy realized their dream to farm and make their own food. During this time, Gil and Ardy headed up the local Pony Club, accommodating large camps where many kids learned to care for and ride horses. Gil continued his career as a teacher and eventually moved the family to the promised land of the Okanagan, where he continued to work in education and putter on his farms. Gil finished his teaching career at the Open Door School in Vernon. Throughout Gil and Ardy’s marriage, they have taken in foster children and provided and shared housing with several families, opening their hearts and sharing their resources to offer a helping hand. In this way, their “family” is extensive and spans friendships of all ages. Gil was a seeker and a philosopher and through the years he grew tremendously in his love for farming responsibly with respect for the environment and the people who benefited from the farm provisions. Gil’s lifelong search of relationship with God and his garden was creative and ever-growing. His children remember him as a man who was accepting and supportive of their choices and was always seeking a philosophical connection with others. His friends remember him as a man who invited debate, challenged their thinking and welcomed them always. Papa Gil is survived by his wife Ardy, his brother Leland (Nancy), 4 of his children - Kevin, Jay, Heidi (Jim) and Brad (Julie) - and 13 grandchildren. A Celebration of Life will be held at 1pm Thursday December 31st, 2015 at Vernon Christian Fellowship. Those wishing to do so may make a memorial donation in Gil’s memory to Najenga Congo, c/o VCF, 4506 29th Street, Vernon, BC V1T 5C1. A special thank you to the North Okanagan Hospice Society for their extraordinary end of life care for Gil. Cremation arrangements entrusted to Bethel Funeral Home.
