Civic Arena’s cracks shining through RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
There are skeletons in the closet at Civic Arena. Every time a wall is opened up or the ceiling is inspected, there’s another deficiency in the 1938 landmark building. “Just as soon as you repair something, something else crops up,” said Doug Ross, the City of Vernon’s recreation services director. Case in point, was investigating some exterior cracks leading down to minor hockey storage. “Water is running off of the parking lot and it’s leaking into the base of the wall. There’s also water damage to the two-by-four wood structure,” said Ross. To fix the entire wall, inside and out, could be $100,000. While hallway access must be maintained, the future of the storage room is unknown. “It may be more efficient to lock the door and not do repairs,” said Ross. A layer of ice currently covers the brine pipes, but when thawed, the key component to the refrigeration system raises alarm bells. There is corrosion and 60 per cent of the pipe wall integrity is gone. “The possibility of the brine system failing is imminent. If it was to break during the ice season, we’d have to jackhammer the floor, repair the leak and then fill it,” said Ross. The ice surface closest to the boards is 4.5 inches thick but eight feet out, it’s one inch thick. “That’s the heaving in the floor,” said Ross, adding that the movement could force pipes to burst. If the chilling unit unexpectedly quits, the other existing arenas in Vernon would be at capacity and still 40 per cent of Civic users would be unable to play. When the ice isn’t in, the concrete slab is covered in extensive cracks. “We can’t play ball hockey or lacrosse because it’s not safe. We don’t let the facility be used in spring and summer,” said Ross. A further tour of the complex highlights cracks in trusses and rotten joists “The roof doesn’t meet snow load codes we have today,” said Ross. Some washrooms have been updated for arena users while others have been abandoned because of failing infrastructure. “There’s not much demand for an extra washroom so instead of investing dollars, you shut the room off,” said Ross. The 1938 electrical system is being investigated.

Doug Ross, recreation services director, points out a truss in the ceiling that needs work during a tour of the Civic Arena Friday. Paul Wilson, with Handy Guys, reveals some of the wall damage on the east side of Civic Arena. For a video of the issues visit www.vernonmorningstar.com “What they will find will add up to significant money,” said Ross. Studies have indicated that the cost to keep Civic functional for five years is $5.6 million and $10.78 million for a decade. Annual operating costs for the arena in 2016 are budgeted for $196,706. “To put that kind of money into a building almost 80 years old is not cost effective,” said Ross. Civic’s ultimate lifespan is not known. “It’s all a matter of how much you want to invest,” said Ross. Even if a Nov. 28 referendum to twin Kal Tire Place is successful, Civic Arena will be needed for ice sports for three years as construction proceeds. “We want to keep the building running as long as we can so we don’t displace users,” said Ross.

City and market reach site solution RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
It appears that a major stumbling block towards a new arena has been overcome. The Vernon Farmers Market board says it has a commitment from City of Vernon officials that the market can remain at Kal Tire Place during possible construction of a new ice sheet. “It has always been our belief that we could work with city officials in finding a solution and we will make it work,” states the VFM board in a release. City officials had previously stated that the market would have to relocate if Greater Vernon voters agree Nov. 28 to borrow funds for a new arena. Market representatives, though, had stated that there were no other suitable locations and a move from Kal Tire Place’s parking lot would disrupt its operations. “Right from the start, we said that we didn’t want to debate the merits of whether we need another arena or not. That will be up to the voters to decide,” states VFM. “But it is our board’s interest to secure a suitable location for the farmers market and we have achieved this.” Coun. Catherine Lord and Mayor Akbal Mund met with the VFM board Friday. “We will keep working with them to minimize the impact (of construction),” said Lord. “They think they can make it work, it’s their market.” In terms of a long-term site if a new arena is constructed, Lord says the adjacent Kin Race Track may become available if legal action with the Okanagan Equestrian Society is resolved.

Greater Vernon proposes hike in 2016 taxes RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Greater Vernon residents will be paying more for parks, recreation, culture and water. It was suggested that a five per cent tax increase in 2016 could be possible during a Greater Vernon Advisory Committee meeting Thursday. “We will try to keep it minimal but we’re not Banmen expecting no increase,” said Stephen Banmen, Regional District of North Okanagan general manager of finance. However, director Mike Macnabb is concerned about providing possible figures to the public so early in the budget process.
“There will be some areas where we want more but there could be efficiencies,” he said. “People shouldn’t be taking away that we’re painting a big five per cent across everything.” Staff is recommending a two per cent hike to water rates to cover inflation and capital projects, but director Jim Garlick wants to investigate options. “Can we look at one and zero (per cent) with priorities in there?” said Garlick in terms of what is needed to operate the water utility. What ever the rate increase is set at, it will not include most items within the master water plan as that document is currently being reviewed. “Two per cent is the status quo. We’re not moving forward and we’re not falling back. We’re keeping the ship going,” said Macnabb.
New Styles In Store
In terms of parks and recreation, a budget focus will be maintenance of new assets, such as the athletics park, and planning for new assets, including the rail trail and the Camp Hurlburt property. The cultural plan could also have implications for the budget as could a successful referendum for a new arena. Budget deliberations will also take a look at how much money to put into reserves for development of the rail trail and future initiatives. “It shows we are proactive because we know these projects are coming up,” said director Akbal Mund of trying to ease the burden on taxpayers. Reserves also means GVAC will have money available if senior governments provide grants for infrastructure. “If we don’t have reserves, we lose

Think Water – Every Drop Counts Fall is a great time to get familiar with your indoor water use. Start by checking out your water meter. The low-flow indicator, a small red dial or triangle, rotates when water passes through the meter. To look for leaks, turn off everything that uses water, including faucets, outdoor irrigation, washing machines and automatic ice machines. Watch the low-flow indicator – if it moves there may be a leak. For tips on fixing leaks visit www.rdno.ca/waterwise.
Free Yard & Garden Waste Drop–Off

Vernon School District trustees have given the green light to the condom pilot project. On Wednesday, trustees gave their unanimous approval to a three-month pilot project to increase youth access to condoms by providing baskets of condoms for students to help themselves rather than hav-
ing to ask for them. “Condoms are currently available at every high school in the counsellor’s office but with the project, kids will be able to access them without having to ask,” said superintendent Joe Rogers. “About 20 per cent of our high school students are sexually active and are not using protection against STIs or pregnancy.” Vernon and W.L.

Seaton secondary schools are two of six schools in the Okanagan taking part in the project, which Health Promoting Schools co-ordinator Christine Balfour said is intended to increase youth access to condoms and decrease the incidence of sexually transmitted infections and unplanned pregnancies. “The project has the approval of the PACs at both schools,” said Rogers, adding that according to a recent McCreary Centre report, providing access to condoms does not increase sexual activity. Condoms will be distributed in a brown envelopes, with a wallet size card, in a designated area in participating schools. The card will include healthy sexuality links and a project URL and QR code to elicit student’s response to the project.

Sentence issued in child porn case Morning Star Staff
A North Okanagan man will serve jail time for possessing child pornography. On Wednesday, Rylan Sandberg, 47, was sentenced to 90 days in jail intermittently and 18 months probation. He is prohibited from being alone with minors, including areas frequented by children, such as parks. He is barred from using the Internet except for work purposes. Sandberg was arrested in March 2014 after the Vernon/North Okanagan RCMP was alerted to a suspect by officers from the B.C. Integrated Child Exploitation Unit.
The alternative programs brought projections up to 8,031. “What we’ve actually ended up with is 8,190 students, so after 10 years of cutting $19 or $20 million dollars, it’s nice to be able to get the money we need to run our programs,” said Rogers. “We have 147 more FTE students than we did last September, so it’s a significant increase in students and a significant increase in funding.” Rogers said FTE is above the actual head count, as there are a number of students who take a ninth and 10th course, such as music. Several schools saw significant jumps in enrolment. Lavington elementary increased by 12 students, from 145 to 157. Okanagan Landing elementary is up by 31 students, W.L. Seaton

My guess is it might have something to do with people moving from Alberta and there’s probably some new hires at the pellet plant.” District secretarytreasurer Sterling Olson said while there will be staffing changes to correspond with the increase in enrolment, it’s great news for the bottom line, and he plans on bringing a budget update to the next public board meet-

Following ongoing destruction to his property, Mike Chapor can’t help but shudder at the site of a storm cloud. The Coldstream resident is still reeling from the most recent incident, June 29, and its disastrous aftermath. “We came home to absolute devastation,” said Chapor, who lives on Fitzmaurice Lane. “Because there’s no storm Glen Taylor water mitigation...the water coming down Kickwillie Road crashed over the curb and took out the corner and all its soil with it.” Chapor is frustrated to see other projects, such as resurfacing tennis courts and referendums, taking priority over infrastructure works in the municipality. “I can’t afford to repair the yard again,” he said. “Every time I see a storm cloud I get sick in my guts.” Several other neighbours have also been affected
and are demanding the district take action. “I feel that there are more extreme weather occurrences in the future and am asking the district to please budget and deal with the deficiencies in this regard,” said Cynthia Myers in a letter to council. Coldstream does have the area on its radar and has plans to include these storm water projects in the 2016 budget deliberations. “We’re having staff looking at a design to cover that area,” said Mayor Jim Garlick. Coun. Glen Taylor agrees that the issue needs to be looked at, but has reservations. “That was a once in a 30-year storm and any kind of storm drainage you have is not going to be able to handle it.” Chapor has also been told that this was a rare event. “I’m told it’s one in 10 years but it seems to happen every three years,” said Chapor, who was told by neighbours after he purchased his property that it has flooded on numerous occasions. Coun. Gyula Kiss confirms that. “This area has been having problems now for a long time.”

Advocates shoot for referendum awareness richard rolke Morning Star Staff
There’s less than a month before Greater Vernon residents head to the polls on a new arena, and proponents are spreading the word. An advocacy group representing users of the proposed twinning of Kal Tire Place has been formed and the goal is to create awareness. “We are contacting all of the user groups and we will have information booths set up,” said Cameron Grant, spokesperson and father of two minor hockey players. “The big thing is not to convince people how to vote but to encourage the yes people to get out and vote. It won’t be a slam dunk and if you don’t get out and vote, it may not pass.” On Nov. 28, Greater Vernon residents will be asked to borrow $13.25 million for a twin sheet. The City of Vernon will also contribute an additional $812,385 from reserves.
“It’s a replacement rink for Civic Arena, not a new rink,” said Grant. The 1938 Civic Arena hosts about 40 per cent of ice sports in the community, but there are considerable infrastructure issues with the facility. “The ice plant could go. Any number of things could render that facility useless and it’s a money pit,” said Grant. The cost for the required renovations to keep the Civic Arena functional for five years is $5.6 million, according to the City of Vernon. To keep it operational for 10 years with the current sheet of ice is about $10.78 million. To upgrade the arena to include a regulation-size sheet of ice would require $13.88 million. Annual operating costs for the Civic Arena in 2016 are budgeted for $196,706. “The economic situation with Civic is bad. Either way you are going to pay for ice.
“They (facilities) contribute to our quality of life.” — Cameron Grant

will provide economic opportunities,” he said. For a home assessed at $350,000, the cost to twin Kal Tire Place will be $24 a year for 20 years. Grant is confident that there is broad support for the referendum. “Please get out and vote yes and encourage all who are in favor of this rink to get out and vote yes.”

Let’s not do the time warp
O
K, so what did you do with that extra hour last night, huh, huh? I’m pretty sure I know what I did, and not just because I have a nasty cold, I’m pretty sure I stayed under the covers an extra hour this a.m. One of the benefits of falling back to standard time is we get back that hour we lost in the spring when we jumped ahead to Daylight Saving Time. But many feel that’s the only benefit and from now on it’s a much darker time of year and the beginning of the end of the world as we know it, or winter in other words. Now this dreaded time change has been played with before when in 2007 clocks were moved forward three weeks earlier across North America in an Glenn Mitchell attempt to save energy and, I assume, make our lives a little bit brighter. In fact, according to one article I read, that’s where all this started back during the First World War when it was launched as an energy conservation measure. And it makes sense on many levels, especially for those of us who like long summer nights. Of course if you live in Saskatchewan, or Creston, B.C. apparently, you don’t have to ever worry about forgetting to change your clock because they don’t believe in it. I don’t know how this affects clock radios and cell phones etc. in those jurisdictions but I’m sure there’s an app for that. It may have something to do with farmers, and apparently brewmasters, who like more daylight in the morning hours when the rest of us are sleeping but I can see it causing problems in the Kootenays where everyone else is, well, out of step. “Reality is, it’s basically confusing,” Creston’s mayor Ron Toyota told Kamloops This Week. You see for eight months the city is in time with its B.C. neighbours like Nelson and Castlegar and for the other four months its clocks are in time with its eastern neighbours
MITCHELL’S MUSINGS
like Cranbrook, Lethbridge and the rest of Alberta. Apparently, as you could imagine, it screws up people’s work schedules and doctor’s appointments if they happen to have them in neighbouring communities. Of course on the plus side it may help everyone’s math skills by utilizing addition and subtraction skills on a daily basis. According to the article in KTW some residents would like it changed but many are quite content because it’s been that way for a long time and besides, they’re not the ones with the problem. “It’s not that we go back and forth,” said Toyota. “We don’t change.” True enough, and if people are wondering why they do this apparently it dates back to the building of the railroad. So now, looking to the future, a Kamloops businessman is advocating we also never change our clocks, except he wants to keep with Daylight Saving Time year round. Now I don’t know how Creston feels about this, actually it might make things easier for them in a weird way, the movement is gaining some momentum with an online petition. Now, although I understand the benefits – less hassle, more sunshine hours through the dark days of winter when we want them, no more adapting to the time change, energy savings – it also seems wrong somehow. If you steal an hour of sunshine in the spring and don’t give it back in the fall, did that hour never exist? If there’s no standard time then what’s the standard? Isn’t it impolite to borrow an hour from Mother Nature and not give it back? Where’s our manners? You know what they say about trying to fool Mother Nature? What about Saskatchewan, they’d always be behind the times, so to speak? Would it screw up future time travellers like Marty McFly and cause unforeseen consequences like yet another Back to the Future movie? I think we should think about the possible consequences before we leap into the great unknown. As for me? I’m going back to bed and enjoy that extra hour of sleep.
It is evident the B.C. Liberal government has operated in a cloak of secrecy. Premier Christy Clark and her various cabinet ministers can protest all day long, act indignant and vow to ensure MLAs and staff respect the commitment to open government so earnestly promised during the last election campaign. The reality is this government’s actions render all those words pointless. We just finished reading Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham’s scathing report that found various arms of government — including the premier’s own office — have deleted emails, withheld information requested or otherwise has acted in such a way as to deliberately not leave a paper trail. Having just been torched by perhaps the most damning report during its time in power, we learn this week that the practise of leaving no information crumbs seems to have no boundaries. When the Opposition NDP and the Vancouver Sun requested information — documents, emails, briefing notes, anything — related to the health-ministry firings scandal, they were told there were no records. An employee who was fired later committed suicide and there is not a shred of any dialogue in government? We echo NDP critic Katrine Conroy’s incredulity as stated on Tuesday in the legislature: “So, the head of the public service didn’t have a single record over two years about the biggest human resources scandal in B.C. history. Forgive us if we find that a bit hard to swallow.” A culture of delete and one in which government takes pains to not record anything is reflective of a government that has something to hide. Does it? -Kamloops This Week

It's time to change the system
ertainly strategic voting did not produce the desired result of a Conservative defeat in the North Okanagan-Shuswap. It did, however, reduce the Conservative majority to a plurality with a split vote. In Kelowna Lake Country, a riding every bit as Conservative as ours, pre-electoral strategic cooperation between the Greens and the Liberals, as well as strategic voting, resulted in the stunning upset of a long-time Conservative incumbent. It also gives local Greens a voice in the Liberal caucus. Nationally, strategic voting produced an unexpectedly strong Liberal majority. Here is Leadnow’s summary of their strategic vote effort: “NDP and Liberals took 25 of the 29 targeted seats away from the Conservatives. That’s an 86 per cent success rate in seats the Conservatives won in 2011: a huge shift and far more dramatic than the national average. Local Leadnow members recommended 13 NDP candidates and 16 Liberal candidates as the most likely to defeat their Conservative opponent. In the seats Conservatives lost, our recommended candidate was the winner 96 per cent of
BOTH SIDES This is in response to Mike Sturdy's letter "Let's support the arts for a change" in The Morning Star. I lived in Europe for 26 years. I often visited art galleries and museums in Bratislava, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Amsterdam, London and wherever my travels took me throughout the world. I appreciate art and so does my family and I'll support a new art gallery and museum in Vernon when the time comes to vote for it. I'd like to point out that you are wrong in your letter about North Valley Gymnastics Society (NVGS). They do not want to put the taxpayers of Vernon on the hook for a new indoor facility. You should have got all of the facts straight by contacting the board of NVGS before writing a letter like that. Yes, you are correct "the business community would do the job for a profit" but this would lead to higher fees and less children being able to part take in gymnastics and other sport activities.
the time (24 out of 25 ridings). In our four targeted seats where Conservatives won, our recommended candidate ended up as the closest challenger twice. In the two other ridings, the recommended candidates ended up finishing third. In the ridings where a recommended candidate won, Leadnow members and the voters we directly engaged account for more than the margin of victory in eight ridings and more than half the margin of victory in 14 ridings.” Make no mistake. The success of strategic voting in this election is nothing to be celebrated. All voters would prefer to vote for their first choice rather than against their last. Strategic voting is a result of our antiquated first past the post voting that gave, for example, the Conservatives in 2011, and the Liberals in 2015, 100 per cent of the power to govern with just 39 per cent of the vote. Justin Trudeau has promised to make 2015 the last unfair election. It is time for some form of proportional representation (fairvote.ca). Let the discussion begin. Susan Young
The goal is to keep the future generations active and healthy, especially nowadays when they are exposed to so much screen time, less human interaction, etc. Not-for-profit sports organizations in general are keeping fees as low as possible by having a volunteer board. Parents, grandparents and sports enthusiasts put in countless volunteer hours to have variety of sport opportunities in Vernon. Kudos to them all. To answer your question, "Which side are you on," I am on both sides. I support taxpayers and athletes and I also support people who volunteer and make Vernon an even better place to live. Alzbeta Yacovelli FIRE DANGER This is a letter to the family who was camping at Nicklen Lake until Oct. 12. We arrived at the campground and camped below you on the afternoon of Oct. 9. We left Oct. 11, since, unluckily for us, my friend’s RV broke down. We were forced to
leave it and had to go back on Oct. 12 to see if we could fix it and get it going. We arrived back at the campground, and saw you leave about 30 minutes after we arrived. After packing up our RV, we noticed a column of smoke coming from your campsite. When I walked up to the site, there was an eight-inch diameter fire burning cheerfully, with two logs burning in it. In a very short time, those logs would have burned to the ends and would have started a grassfire, since everything was very dry, and who knows how far the fire would have spread. Was there not a bucket for water to put the fire out? We poured more than six gallons of water on the fire before it stopped crackling and hissing. I now understand what the fire marshals mean by human-caused fire. Remember, you were camped by a lake, which is where we got the water from to put the fire out. It would have been so simple

to take proper precautions. You shouldn’t leave a fire until it is cold enough that you can stick your hand into it. Ed Pope A RESPONSE I am responding to an article in The Morning Star where a resident of Lavington said that what was coming out of the stacks of Pinnacle's pellet plant was just steam, or more correctly water vapor. Well in fact, water vapor is what you can see, but what is also coming out of those stacks is particulate matter and volatile organic compounds which are known carcinogens according to the World Health Organization. And Pinnacle's pellet plant will be pumping that out in our airshed 24/7 in the amount of 75 tons per year. The health of people who live nearest to the facility will be affected the most, including the children of Lavington Elementary School, which is only 200 metres away. Wise up residents of Lavington.

issued. The city’s zoning bylaw does not permit dog kennels in any zone,” said Terry Martens, chief financial officer, in a report. The two-dog limit remains in effect for all properties. “We know people have more than two dogs. If they have more than two, they go on record, and if one dies, they can’t have another one,” said Mayor Chris Pieper. Pieper says small lots don’t Chris Pieper have the physical capacity to handle more than two dogs. “There’s bothering the neighbours and barking.” The other change to the bylaw is eliminating the reference that allows for the sale or adoption of unclaimed and impounded dogs. “The city doesn’t have the resources to arrange for the sale or adoption of dogs,” said Martens. “There are organizations in the area such as the SPCA and animal rescue centres that deal with this. As a result, it would be more appropriate for the city to transfer such dogs to these organizations.” A royal thank you The City of Armstrong has been acknowledged by Buckingham Palace. The city recently celebrated the Queen becoming Canada’s longest serving monarch, and congratulations were sent to her on behalf of residents. A response has since been received. “Dear, Mr. Mayor, the Queen has asked me to thank you for your kind letter sent on behalf of the councillors and residents of the City of Armstrong on the occasion of Her Majesty becoming the longest reigning monarch of Canada Sept. 9,” wrote Christopher Sandamas, chief clerk to the Queen. “The Queen was pleased to be reminded of her visits to the region and has asked me to send her best wishes to you and all concerned.” Mayor Chris Pieper says the letter was a surprise. “It was nice to get a response. We didn’t expect to get anything like that,” he said.

The Vipers stuffed the Smokies 5-2. everyone and that’s what we got tonight.” Halloran praised Shortridge and felt the Smokies lost their urgency once falling behind 3-0. “I thought we played well,” said the shifty Halloran. “Their goalie stood on his head and I think we needed to get a couple more bodies in front so he couldn’t see it. He’s a good goalie if he can see it. That’s the bottom line. They got more greasy goals than we did and won the game.” Vernon is a solid fourth in the Interior Division, six points ahead of the Merritt Centennials, 3-0 losers to the Penticton Vees. Penticton is 16-1. Brandt fired his eighth of the year on a low deflection of a Williamson shot with 6:44 left in the opening 20. Volpe got the secondary assist. McCarthy made it 2-0 two minutes later on McBurnie’s doorstep and then increased the lead with 1:36 to play in the period after Williamson drove the net hard.

McCarthy converted the hat trick midway through the third period while on his knees. “We were doing the simple things out there and everyone was shooting the puck and Colton was where he always is in front of the net banging them home,” said Williamson. “That one from his knees was a highlight goal, good for him.

They are supposed to finish the night as plus players while disturbing the peace in every zone on the ice. Call them blue-collar workers whose refuse-to-lose attitude makes them complete hockey players. Hardly flashy, the line of Colton McCarthy, Riley Brandt and Jagger Williamson usually does all the right things. And they were brilliant Friday night, ringing up 10 points as the Vernon Vipers dispatched the Trail Smoke Eaters 5-2 in B.C. Hockey League action Friday night before 1,535 fans at Kal Tire Place. The Vipers (9-9-0-1) snapped a three-game losing streak. The Smokies dipped to 6-10. McCarthy (hat trick), Riley Brandt (1+2) and Jagger Williamson (4 assists) did most of the damage. McCarthy scored 10 times in a partial season with Vernon last year after getting eight goals in 110 Western League tilts. He registered 22 snipes with the Junior B Nelson Leafs as a 16-year-old. “We’re definitely a happy bunch in there right now,” said McCarthy. “We’ve battled through a lot the last couple games but tonight, I’d say we played for 50 minutes and that’s what it took to get the win.” McCarthy, a 19-year-old captain, gave props to his linemates for his career night. He has scored most of his 11 snipes this year from in tight, but went top cheddar from his knees for the prettiest goal of the year. “I can’t remember the last hat trick I had. Playing with Riley Brandt and Jagger Williamson, they really helped me out tonight, and I’ll take the three goals I guess. I usually don’t score goals from my knees. We clicked tonight for sure. We’ve been working all week together and we finally put it all together in a game that helped the team win tonight.” Both teams recorded 42 shots with Andrew Shortridge improving to 8-5. Bailey McBurnie fell to 3-9. The Smokies registered goals 2:06 apart late in the game with Nick Halloran scoring on a breakaway seven seconds into a Trail penalty kill. Halloran, a Utah product who has a scholarship to Air Force, went five-hole on Shortridge for his seventh snipe of the season. Kurt Black flew down the left wing and beat Shortridge with a hard snap shot with 3:09 to play. Black has five goals on the year. The Vipers led 3-0 after 20 minutes and went up 4-0 5:20 into the third when rookie d-man Callum Volpe converted on a bomb from the point. D-man Bo Pellah had his second starry game in a row, pocketing three assists, helping McCarthy twice. “They’re (Smokies) below us in the standings, but it’s definitely a huge win and we’ll build off that this week in practice and carry it on to the road trip down on to the Island.

The Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops dispatched the Fulton Maroons 24-6 in Interior Senior High School Football League play Friday night at Greater Vernon Athletics Park. Koalden Gudeit-Oakden scored on a two-yard plunge in the second quarter for the Maroons. Gudeit-Oakden finished with 16 touchs for 76 yards, while Colton Annis rang up 23, yards on six carries and Caden Doyle had 10 yards on Colton Annis eight runs. Noah Alleyne completed one of eight passes for five yards (catch by Doyle). “This was a good effort from our team,” said Fulton head coach Mike Scheller. “The coachng staff was happy with the way we played for most of the game. The score was 8-6 at half, and we were in it right up ‘till the end. but, it became the same old story for our club. We stalled on offense and could not move the ball. “Then, we got tired on defence and the other team just ground us down. We have played every game against teams that can physically overpower us, and that is how we lose. Teams just grind us out and it is difficult to stop. I will credit our kids; they worked and fought all game. It just was not enough.” Ike olson recorded eight tackles, while Mykl Drabiuk compiled six and JJ Heaton and Annis each earned six. Gudeit-Oakden had five. “Our offensive line fired off the ball very well and blocked hard,” added Scheller. “Line coaches Darryl Thomas, Ben Olson and Kevin Breiter have worked really hard and have done a good job with these kids. Gurwinder Dhanoa, Andrew Goldenthal, Quinn Miller, JJ Heaton and Anthony Prince all played very well for us up front. Gudeit had his best game as a Maroon. We put him at tailback and he ran very well. I like his vision and toughness.” On defence, Olson led the Maroons once again. “Ike Olson had a great game blocking on offence and was a tackling machine. He is our toughest kid and shows up week in and week out. Mykl Drabiuk was tough at linebacker and had some good hits. Noah Alleyne and Kobe Romanovitch stepped up and played well at corner for us.” Fulton takes on the VSS Panthers in Friday Night Lights football (6 p.m.) at the new college field to finish the regular season. “Despite the opposite records, our kids will be fired up for the game. It should be a good night for football.”

Tammy Brennan and Cindy Curtain sweep in the Silver Star Ladies Bonspiel last Saturday at the Vernon Curling Club. The A event was won by Alyssa Kyllo, Amy Edwards, Kelsi Jones and Sydney Hofer.
The Prince George Cougars shaded the Kelowna Rockets 2-1 in Western Hockey League play Friday night before 4,839 fans at Prospera Place. The Rockets, who were riding a three-game winning streak, fell to 9-5. Cougars forward Brogan O’Brien snapped a 1-1 tie midway through the third period. The teams exchanged goals through the first 40 minutes with the Cougars taking the lead on a shorthanded marker by Jesse Gabriel in the first period before Cole Linaker equalized in the second. Jackson Whistle suffered the loss as the Rockets outshot Prince George 31-20. Prince George goalie Ty Edmonds was first star with Linaker second and O’Brien third.

Thrift store is ‘the heartbeat of Lumby’ GeorGie Hay Special to The Morning Star
Folks must be cleaning out closets as here at the Lumby Community Thrift Store we’ve been getting a fair amount of winter gear in donations. Thank you so much for the generosity of this community. We have a wide selection of collectible dolls, plates and figurines, electric organs, sewing machines, binders and office sundries, crystal and china. Sometimes even we can’t believe the donations that come in — what an amazing community we have! We are your one-stop shop right here in Lumby. Speaking of community, I was at a Lumby Health Society meeting recently and a question about CrossRoads Breakfast Program came up that I’d like to share with you. Lumby Thrift is proud and honoured to fund a hot breakfast for CrossRoads students. Janice and Bruce Mackie of our food bank go to CrossRoads every day they are open to prepare breakfast. This has been a very rewarding endeavour; ever since we started this we have realized that students are staying longer in the classroom and finishing projects much quicker. This is a win/win opportunity for all of us and we thank Bruce and Janice wholeheartedly. As we all know, education improves the quality of life we all enjoy. Next time you’re in our store, ask what
we have been doing to improve our community — we’d be glad to tell you. Well, local villagers and surrounding folks as far as Kelowna have expressed a desire for Lumby Thrift to be open on Saturdays and we are willing to give it a try for the month of November. To do this we really need to be closed on Sunday and Monday.
“Thank you so much for the generosity of this community.” — Georgie Hay
Don’t fret, though, as we will be offering our $5/grocery bag of clothing on Tuesdays. Wednesday will remain our Seniors Day with 50 per cent off on most purchases and the last Friday of every month is $10/garbage bag of clothing. Our special birthday present doesn’t change — you get a free grocery bag of clothes and our heartiest rendition of Happy Birthday. Virgin thrifters are more than welcome — please come here first as I think you’ll be surprised at what we have to offer. Just a wee bit about our recycling program: we accept any clean (well-worn/past the point of good usage) materials such as clothing, blankets, towels, curtains, sheets, socks and shoes. These goods are collected in our store, transferred to the trailer at
Arbour Park Mall and when that trailer is full it gets picked up when another is dropped off. The funds from this endeavour helps us co-fund feeding programs that are shared with Lumby schools. If you could kindly make certain your materials are clean and packed in plastic bags and marked with an R. One very elusive volunteer, Marcel, moves these bags from the thrift store to the trailer and that’s not the only thing he’s good at. Marcel and his wife Jean, manager of Lumby Community Thrift Store, are exceptional cooks and will be operating the concession for Christmas Creations Nov. 7 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. This event is all about handmade crafts and homemade goodies, so come on out and show your support for local goods. The thrift store will be offering a table of Christmas items, manned by volunteers and you can be assured that our prices are cheaper than low — otherwise known as guilt-free shopping. If I don’t see you here, maybe I’ll see you there. You’ll find the Lumby Community Thrift Store in Arbor Park Mall tucked between Pagoda and Dollar Dollar Store. Our hours for the month of November will be: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Wednesday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, please call 778473-3003 during open hours.

Day One: From our Ile St. Louis homebase we’re a metro ride away from the trendy Champs-Elysees. Arc de Triomphe, built in 1806 to commemorate Napoléon Boneparte’s victorious battles, anchors one end, and from its panorama rooftop we can spot Place de la Concorde that sprawls out at the other. A 3,200-yearold Egyptian obelisk erects from this largest public square in Paris ( 23 acres) and nearby Musée de l’Orangerie Museum provides us with a peek at Monet, Cezanne, and Renoir masterpieces.

Day Two: We meld with the masses at the gothic marvel of Notre Dame and spiral up its tower to enjoy another view-boasting rooftop. Next is the popular Louvre, where great halls and galler-
ies showcase the world’s largest art collection. Overwhelming, but truly a tribute to the arts. On the other side of the Seine, and in contrast to this classic, is the light and airy Musee d’Orsay, once a railway station, now a fabulous depository and home to a superb display of

impressionist and postimpressionist paintings. Day Three: From our hotel, it’s a short jaunt to Ste Chapelle, a showy double-decker cathedral built in 1239, to house the treasures of King Louis IX. If time allows, you can also pop into its neighbour, the Justice Institute. En route to our next stop, we pass through the Latin Quarter, a quaint bohemian neighbourhood of winding streets, bistros and boutiques -perfect for lunching or munching. Refuelled, we head to the Rodin, a garden museum that showcases this sculptor’s famous works like The Thinker. It’s impossible to miss our final attraction. The glittering gold dome of Eglise du Dome Church. The insides shimmer with carvings, etchings, gold leaf. It’s no surprise that Napoleon feels right at rest here. Day Four: First stop
is Centre Pompidou in the Bourbourg area, touted by locals, as being the cultural pulse of the city. In contrast to the classics, this venue is ultra modern and high tech. We zero in on the upper floors where Musée National d’Art Moderne boasts thousands of 20th century works by artists like Picasso, Matisse and Kadinsky. Then, it’s off to Sacre-Coeur, the white-domed basilica, that stands proudly on Montmartre, Paris’s highest hill. Unlike Gothic architecture, this Byzantineinspired gem sparkles with golden mosaics, bronze doors and stained-glass. Day Five: We take a break, save some tread on our sneakers and check out the sights by both bus and boat. The bright green L’Open Tour double-decker offers us a top-notch view and history lesson while motoring by 19 famous attractions. And during a 60-minute Bateaux Parisiens cruise, we coast by others that hug up to the Seine, one, of course, being the Eifel Tower. A visit wouldn’t be complete without ascending this iconic monument that towers 300 lofty meters (1,000 feet) over Champ de Mars Park. Sure, we could glide up via elevator, but do we? Of course not. It’s all about the stairs for us this visit. And after plodding up the 704 that are integrated into this skeletal structure, we enjoy one last Paris panorama. So how did you do? Were you able to keep up? If so, over this fiveday stint you walked 84,000 steps and 58 kilometres. Now that’s worth a croissant or two. Jane Cassie is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

Artist unlocks her passion with gallery Local artist Melissa Dinwoodie turns her dream of creating art every day into a reality LISA VANDERVELDE Morning Star Staff
She took a leap of faith. A professional artist since 2002, Melissa Dinwoodie has always relied on jobs outside of the art world to support her passion. Until now. Her decision to leave her well-paid job and follow her dream of pursuing art every day inspired the name of her new business Leap. Art Supplies & Gallery. “You can talk about it for so long and then you finally have to do it and then it is totally scary and freaky,” she says with a laugh. Dinwoodie didn’t leap alone. Her close-knit family has been behind her dream from the beginning. Raised in Armstrong, she got her bachelor of fine arts from Okanagan University College. She then went on to show her work in Calgary, Toronto and Vancouver, finally deciding to move back to the Okanagan, where she has lived for the last eight years. “My family as a whole inspired me to become an artist. They are all very creative and encouraging, so I think I grew up with that bug in me,” says Dinwoodie. Dinwoodie’s role models don’t have traditional ways of earning a living. Her uncles, Rob and Lee Dinwoodie, are both singers and her father, Aaron Dinwoodie, is an auctioneer and rodeo announcer. Her store in downtown Vernon is a clean, modern space with white walls, perfect for showcasing local art, softened by rustic wood shelving and a wood-top counter made by her dad. With her mom’s help, Dinwoodie has much of her art supply inventory unpacked and displayed in the store, which is now open. She also gives credit to Community Futures for her ability to open Leap. The agency helped her make a business plan and provided her with business skills and a loan to start her dream. Her goal is for her art supply store and gallery to be a place that people of all artistic abilities feel they can come and shop. “I want it to be a welcoming place,” says Dinwoodie. “I think some people have this idea of art being elitist and I want this to be a comfortable place to come and ask questions and talk.”
LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR
Melissa Dinwoodie takes a break from setting up her new store, Leap. Art Supplies & Gallery, which is now open downtown on 29th Avenue. One of her paintings (below) stands in her open studio where visitors are welcome to watch her works in progress. Leap. has a space to hold workshops and classes and Dinwoodie hopes to have a schedule finalized soon. Her store has an open studio where Dinwoodie can paint during quiet times and she hopes that seeing her work in progress will generate conversations and questions. “It is going to be a challenge for me because before when I had a studio, it was always very private. I didn’t like people seeing my paintings before they were finished because sometimes they turn out horribly, then you paint over and start again,” she said. Going through the boxes of inventory, Dinwoodie knew she should feel stress and apprehension about opening her own business, but she found herself feeling the wonder and possibility that each new box of art supplies awakened in her. “It is like candy to a little kid,” she said. “Art is such a visual thing and the sup-
plies are like that too, you see the colour and you get excited about it.” Her supply inventory has a wide variety of tools for many mediums like illustration,
painting and soap stone for carvers. She carries popular brands like Liquitex, Winsor Newton and Stevenson. Displaying and selling work from local artists is also another aspect of Dinwoodie’s shop. “I want this to be the place where people come to buy that cool gift for someone special,” she said. “I’m encouraging the artists to keep things fresh by swapping out their pieces.” Leap. carries art from many mediums including ceramics, felt work, jewelry, paintings and more. Her grand opening celebration is Saturday with extended hours from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. From 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., there will be a tasting from Olive Us, live guitar, local artists and door prizes. During the day of the grand opening, there will be a fun photo booth for kids and adults to dress up and be silly.

Vernon-based Kal Tire has tested tires and how they handle road conditions in Canada.
Tire conditions tested Morning Star Staff
So you’ve made your will and named your executor.
BUT IS YOUR ESTATE
PREPARED?
How well will a set of tires brake at a slippery intersection, corner in a snowstorm, manoeuvre through puddles or push through slush? Now Canadians will know. Kal Tire is the first tire retailer to independently test tires in Canada and in the same rugged conditions drivers face in the winter. “We wanted to give drivers greater and more relevant information about how tires really perform in everyday winter conditions in Canada, and we also wanted to be able to show people how three-season (all-season), all-weather and winter tires compare in their performance,” said Carey Hull, director retail products for Kal Tire. “Black ice, slush on the highway, slick intersections — these are the kinds of situations where drivers get into trouble. It was important we had the tires tested on surfaces in Canada that consumers face in real, everyday winter driving conditions.” In the first phase of Kal’s Tire testing, 12 passenger and seven light truck tires from the company’s core line-up of three-season, all-weather, and winter tire categories were subjected to 10 tests, including braking and cornering in dry, wet and ice conditions as well as hydroplaning, slush straight

line stability, slush cornering and road noise. Key findings: n Winter tires, on average, stopped 14.68 metres sooner on ice compared to 3-seasons: n Winter tires stopped in 30.1 metres n All-weather tires stopped in 35.5 metres n Three-season tires stopped in 44.8 metres n All-weather tires, on average, stop 77 centimetres sooner on wet pavement (from 70 kilometres an hour) and 33 centimetres sooner on dry pavement (from 90 kilometres an hour) compared to three-season tires. n Winter tires are nearly three times better at holding corners on ice than three-seasons. n Studless winter tires aren’t noisy! On average, all-weather and three-season tires emitted the same amount of road noise, and winter tires were 1.6 per cent quieter than all-weather and three-season tires, contrary to popular belief. “We deliberately chose to execute the tire tests in real Canadian road conditions, rather than a test track, in order to reflect realistic Canadian driving conditions our customers encounter,” said Hull. “Much work was done to ensure that the testing provided objective and comprehensive results based on measurable, scientific data.”

District of Coldstream Official Community Plan What:
Council has given first reading to OCP Bylaw No. 1673. Please join us at this Information session to see what is being proposed.
When:
Thursday, November 5th 3:00pm to 8:00pm
Where:
Coldstream Municipal Office Council Chambers 9901 Kalamalka Road Staff will be there to point out some of the changes and answer questions. Refreshments will be provided!
If you can’t make it out, you still get to comment! Send an email:
info@coldstream.ca Send a fax:
250-545-4733 Call us:
250-545-5304 Comments on the proposed OCP can also be submitted at the upcoming Public Hearing tentatively scheduled for Monday, Nov. 23rd. Submissions from the Information session will be provided to Council in advance of the Public Hearing. Visit the website at www.coldstream.ca. Check out “What’s New” and click on OCP links.
The OCP guides Coldstream’s development over the next five years. It focuses on preserving important community amenities such as its rural charm, beautiful vistas and recreational opportunities. At the same time it addresses important issues such as climate change, affordable housing, infrastructure and farming. Are we growing? While Coldstream has seen significant growth at various times in the past, it is expected that the next few years will be a relatively slow growth period for the community. Growing by 1% a year will mean about 40-50 new dwellings a year. If past trends hold true, the vast majority will be single-family homes. New development is expected in the Middleton Mountain area as the project enters its final phases. As the Middleton Mountain development nears completion, residential growth will shift to the Aberdeen Road area south of the Regional District office. In addition to these new development areas, new homes will be built on existing vacant lots scattered throughout the community. This infill development, along with the two new areas, is sufficient to accommodate the growth expected over the next 5-10 years. Do you live near the water? If so, you will be interested in the expanded RIPARIAN DPA. Development near water (lakes, creeks, streams, wetlands) will need to be reviewed to ensure that fish habitat as well as habitat for other animals is properly protected.
INFORMATION SESSION Thursday, November 5th 3:00pm to 8:00pm
Is the environment protected?
I farm, what about me?
While much has stayed the same, the updated OCP does propose some new and expanded development permit areas meant to protect the community’s valuable environmental lands. The new COLDSTREAM VALLEY DPA ensures that land development on the valley slopes is done with appropriate consideration of the area’s hazards and environmental sensitivities.
The updated OCP strengthens existing policies aimed at supporting the farming industry. To help expand income opportunities on farm land, the OCP directs Council and staff to investigate options such as agri-tourism accommodation. Development permit requirements have been designed to ensure that farm lands are appropriately buffered from non-farm lands. People developing land adjacent to the Agricultural Land Reserve will need to ensure that their homes and other buildings are located away from farm land in order to minimize any farm-related nuisances.
Secondary suites – what’s happening? Recognizing that secondary suites meet a certain demand in the community, Council has established new policies to handle the approval of suites in certain circumstances. Anyone wishing to have a secondary suite in a house zoned for single-family use will need to apply to rezone the property. The rezoning process will give Council an opportunity to hear from neighbours who might be affected by the proposed suite. Once a public hearing has been held, Council can then decide on whether to allow the suite. In addition to neighbour concerns, Council will also consider matters such as parking availability, servicing and neighbourhood character. I live in town, can I have chickens? The District’s Agricultural Plan recommends allowing “urban chickens” in the community. The OCP has adopted these recommendations; however, the District’s zoning bylaw needs to be amended before “urban chickens” are allowed. Before this change is made, Council will want to hear from the community. If they are allowed, Council will establish regulations dealing with the number of chickens, where coops can be located on the property and the size of property. All of these standards are intended to help minimize the impact of “urban chickens”.
Greenhouse Gas – does it affect you? As required by the Province, Coldstream’s OCP has established greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets. The main GHG reduction target is to see the total amount of greenhouse gases produced in our community reduced to 95% of the amount that was produced in 2007. We hope to achieve this by 2020. To help achieve this goal, development guidelines have been created. These guidelines apply to certain types of development in the community. This is just a sample of what’s in the OCP. If you want to know more, please attend the Information session on Thursday, November 5th. If you can’t make it, you can download the OCP from the District’s website at www.coldstream.ca or visit the District Office between 8:00 and 4:30, Monday-Friday. If you have any comments about the proposed plan, please email them, send them by letter, or fax or drop them off at the District Office. If you want to provide your message to Council in person please attend the Public Hearing tentatively scheduled for Monday November 23rd. Watch for notices in the newspaper and on the District website.

The prospect of higher water rates has the North Westside’s director fuming. The Regional District of Central Okanagan board has given first reading to proposed increases for basic fees and consumption rates for its six water utilities, including Killiney Beach, Westshore Estates and Upper Fintry, Shalal Road and Valley of the Sun.

“I’m very concerned and upset with how the community is being handled,” said director Wayne Carson. “I didn’t support the rate increases.” Carson says RDCO is using asset renewal funds to cover utility operational losses despite residents being told that wouldn’t occur. “I wasn’t informed at any time that they were doing this. There has been no operational information given to my community.” Carson also objects to the entire board voting on water Wayne Carson rates because the process has previously only involved the directors from the two electoral areas where the utilities are located. For Killiney Beach, the proposed annual user fee could be $466, while it could be $550 for Westshore and $690 for the Upper Fintry, Shalal Road and Valley of the Sun utility. Consumption fees could also increase. “For the two oldest systems, Killiney and Westshore, it works out that an average water user will spend around $100 a month for water with the new fees,” said Bruce Smith, RDCO communications officer. “It’s slightly less for Upper Fintry, Shalal and Valley of the Sun, which is a new water system, so has a lower asset management fee.” Asset management fees remain unchanged — $657 annually for Killiney Beach, $582 for Westshore and $200 for Upper Fintry. “The main reason for the new rates is to make them more equitable for people who use less water and so that high and extreme users pay more for their excess water use,” said Smith. “It will also help to ensure these two fees fully fund the cost of operating each distinct water system. We’ve had several meetings with residents over the past four years to discuss water rates and the desire to fully fund operational costs from the user and consumption fees.” Smith admits the asset management fund has been used to cover operational shortfalls. “That has not been the intent of the asset management fee, which is in place to collect reserve funds for future infrastructure replacement in each water system,” he said. Carson says North Westside residents are concerned about water rates. “I have people calling me in tears. They are pulling out trees and gardens because they can’t afford to water them,” he said. While further action on the rates bylaws have been postponed until Nov. 12, Carson expects the majority of the board will go along with staff. “I assume I will be outvoted,” he said.

A Vernon girl’s accomplishments continue to grow with her latest title as Miss Teen Galaxy Canada. Samantha Sewell earned the title after being crowned Miss Teenage Okanagan earlier this year and then the national title of Miss Teen Social Media. “I was so happy it was like a dream that wouldn’t end,” said Sewell, a Grade 12 Vernon Secondary student. “It is such an honour to be selected to represent the whole country. My wonderful high school and community has been so supportive on this journey.” Currently the 17-year-old is attending her final year of high school and is also attending Okanagan College at night school where she is earning her education assistant certificate. Her latest title has guaranteed her the spot to represent Canada at the Miss Teen Galaxy International pageant next year in Orlando, Fla., where she will compete with girls from all over the world. Sewell, who is very good at using social media to promote her sponsors and the pageant she is representing, is also a ferocious volunteer as she racked up over 50 events in a little over four months, most of which were for various charities in the Okanagan. This along with her anti-bullying platform has all helped to get her noticed by the top pageants in the world. Sewell is confident on stage and is comfortable speaking in front of large groups, standing at a slim 5’8” she is also starting to get noticed by modeling agencies. Her future plans are to represent Canada and the Okanagan to the best of her abilities as Miss Teen Galaxy Canada, and to pursue her goal of becoming a Special Education teacher. Sewell is planning on attending events throughout

Cherryville inspires new family business Mother-daughter team is making all-natural handmade products Debbee Werner Special to The Morning Star
Colleen Lilburn of Route 6 Campground is well-known in Cherryville as the hostess with the most-est, and this pampering has now been infused into a new business, Cherry Creek Soap & Co. Cherry Creek is a mother-daughter partnership which Lilburn shares with her daughter, Kayla Kaliszuk. The company offers 100 per cent natural, handmade products including soap bars, lip balms, body scrubs and bath treats. The duo is passionate about all things natural. Water used to make the products is collected from Cherry Creek or rainwater — pure Cherryville. “Colleen is the mastermind behind the business and spends countless hours in her studio creating unique products that offer amazing benefits for our skin,” said Kaliszuk. “She is living the simple life in Cherryville, where she gets her inspiration by growing her own herbs and living off the land in any way possible.” Kaliszuk takes care of the social media and marketing aspects of the company. “I handle sales and love to attend markets and host parties; and any chance I get, I love to help create products and spend time in the studio.” During the summer, Lilburn is busy with campers and yard work, but was looking for something to do in the winter. “A good friend of mind, Elaine Waugh,

I love to experiment with new products and recipes. I enjoy being creative and I’m always looking for new ideas. “We have been spending a lot of time build-
ing up our stock as we are finding that things aren’t staying long on the shelf, as sales have been so great. With soap taking three to six weeks to cure, we need to be on top of it and always have new batches on the go to ensure there is product ready for our customers.” Lilburn and her husband, Paddy, moved to Cherryville in the summer of 2006, purchasing Route 6 Campground.
“The lifestyle of living out of town was what inspired us,” she said. “We were able to see the potential that this place had, just needing a bit of elbow grease and clean-up. “We love the small community, the fresh air, mountains and lifestyle — swimming, fishing, boating and so on, such as being able to live off the land, gardening, canning and being self-sufficient. “The slower pace of living, less traffic and distractions means we are able to spend more time with our family and friends, and enjoy the simple things in life — like soap-making. “We take the time to personally test and alter recipes, until they are just right. We take feedback we get from our customers which we incorporate into our products.” Cherry Creek Soap & Co.’s forte would be the mother-daughter team’s innate talent with decor. They can take an old door, firewood, rusty old barbed-wire and spin up works of art, handy items or furniture, as well as unique displays for their products. Their homes are testament to what can be done with good ol’ country charming objects from the backyard and barn! “By keeping it simple and using what is available to us naturally, we are proud to offer the products we create, organically from our family to yours.” This month, the Vernon Lodge will become home to a Cherry Creek Soap & Co. display, when Lilburn and Kaliszuk showcase their products at the Okanagan Artisans Guild 36th Annual Show & Sale Nov. 27 and 28 at the Best Western Vernon Lodge. The show runs Friday from noon to 8 p.m., Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. For further information, please visit www.okanaganartisansguild.com.
Love should inspire curiosity about the other
R
ecently, I attended a celebration of life for a friend who died unexpectedly. Such a ceremony provides a positive sense of closure for those who mourn. It also marks an axis in life where we, the living, move forward recognizing that we have left a part of us behind. During the ceremony, individuals shared what was meaningful in their relationship with the deceased and ushered out the departed in the spirit of friendship and love. After the ceremony a friend comdr. April sanders mented, “Why do we extol the virtues of our friends or hear their story only after they die? Why are we not more curious when they are alive?” I had to think long and hard about that statement. What did I not know about those that I love? What had I never bothered to ask? Why had I not taken the opportunity? My closest friend, confidante and connection on this planet is my husband, yet do I know him as well as I could?
second opinion
We have been married and worked side by side for more than three decades, we have raised two adult children and shared many adventures but did he feel known to me in our relationship, did he feel supported and understood? That prompted questions, ones that I had never asked him, and it began with a favourite color. If my husband had a favourite, I certainly did not know. Imagine my shock at discovering it was aquamarine. Such a small thing, but overlooked. Benign questions led to ones that were more introspective. Questions like: If you could invite eight people, living or dead, over for dinner, whom would you pick? What activity have you never done that you would love to try? If you could have a superpower, what would you choose? If you could change your job, what would you do? Superficial questions led to deeper ones that plumb the inner experiential world that defines us, ones we may not verbalize unless asked. Such questions as: What is one thing about you that I do not know? What are your deepest shame and your biggest regret?

If you could change one thing about me, what would it be? About yourself? If you could give your children one gift in this life, what would you choose? What sentence would you want written on your tombstone? What do you think your friends will say about you when they attend your funeral? In an ideal world, how would your life look five years from now? What are the three life experiences that gave you the greatest joy? The greatest sadness? It turns out I do know my husband very well. That does not mean that I have not learned a great deal and grown closer to him in the sharing. Who knew he likes aquamarine? We continue the exercise, asking questions then answering them for each other and in the sharing we feel closer and better understood. If I truly love and respect another, I need be curious about them. The greatest gift life has to offer is to share the planet with another who knows who you are and to someday leave the world as one who has been seen.

Michelle McBeth of Vernon competes in the North American Bodybuilding Championships in Pittsburgh, Pa., where she won in two classes. After placing second in physique at the Canadian Bodybuilding Federation championship, McBeth’s North American win last month has earned her an International Federation of Body Building pro card. Earning pro status means the mother of three can now compete all over the world, including at the most prestigious event of all, Olympia. “Someone once told me I would never make the provincial stage,” she said. “Now I’ve made the world stage, don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t — they’re wrong.”

Kelowna’s ‘beer’ symphony performs classic hits Morning Star Staff
Resulting from a recent sold-out show at the Kelowna Community Theatre, Bandidos Cerveza is performing at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Nov. 12. The 22-piece symphonic classic rock band, consisting of lead vocals, backup vocals, strings, brass, percussion and a rock rhythm section, has Kelowna Community Theatre manager Randy Zahara singing its praises. “I have witnessed hundreds of great performances, from Bryan Adams to k.d. lang, and last night’s Bandidos Cerveza concert was one of the five most entertaining events I have seen since I began managing the Kelowna Community Theatre over 10 years ago,” he said. Bandidos Cerveza musical director Ken Hartfield’s professional musical career has spanned more than four decades and has crossed international borders. He has worked in the Los Angeles and Las Vegas music scenes as a musical director/ arranger and session player with some of the most prominent
O
names in the entertainment industry: Tom Jones, Gloria Loring, Tanya Tucker, Bobby Vinton, Rich Little, The Bob Hope Show and Ed Shaughnessy, the award-winning drummer from the Johnny Carson era of The Tonight Show. Hartfield’s new enhanced arrangements of some of the great rock classics have captured the attention of music radio promoters and talent agents in L.A. and San Diego. “These new enhanced musical arrangements give the audience an opportunity to hear very unique versions of rock classics that have never been heard before,” said Hartfield, who has brought professional studio musicians, whom he has worked with throughout the years, together from across Canada to form Bandidos Cerveza. Bandidos Cerveza performs at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Nov. 12 at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at the Ticket Seller box office, www.ticketseller.ca, 250-549-7469.

Lest we forget: Canadian stories of war
n Remembrance Day we pay homage to the fallen. But many of us may find it difficult to put the ceremony into context— we simply do not know what happened or what our soldiers faced on the fields of battle. If Canadians know anything about the First World War, they most likely have Peter Critchley heard about the Battle of Vimy Ridge – a meticulously planned battle fought almost a century ago that certainly helped forge our national identity and shape the nation we know today. Most people do not know that in strategic terms the Battle of Vimy Ridge accomplished little, especially compared to what the Canadian Corps did in the last hundred days of the war. This is the only time in Canadian history when the contribution of this country truly proved decisive on the
Book Talk
battlefield. The Greatest Victory (2014), by eminent Canadian historian J.L. Granatstein, is a remarkably concise and insightful account of the hundred days that led to the end of the war, the real story of Canadian military success and sacrifice in the First World War. During this time the Canadians fought a mobile war that revolutionized warfare and influenced the course of subsequent fighting, particularly in the Second World War. The Canadian Corps launched a series of attacks that took Amiens, crossed the Canal du Nord, smashed the Hindenberg Line, took Cambrai and Valenciennes and defeated a quarter of the Germany army in the field. But the Canadian Corps paid a terrible price, with 45,000 casualties in three months – almost a quarter of all Canadian casualties during the whole four years of war. Peril On the Sea (2003), by Donald Graves, is another story of a forgotten fighting force – the Royal Canadian Navy. During the Second World War the RCN
expanded from a tiny force of 10 warships in 1939 to the third largest navy by 1945. It primarily served as a convoy escort in the North Atlantic, one of the most merciless theatres of war where the weather often proved almost as dangerous as the U-boats. The personal accounts of numerous eyewitnesses – Canadian, British and German – drives this fascinating saga authored by one of this country’s foremost historians. The words leap off the page with compelling alacrity to tell a grim tale of courageous struggle and the integral role the Canadian navy played in winning the Battle of the Atlantic, the most crucial battle of the Second World War. The Damned (2010), by Nathan Greenfield, tells the largely unknown story of Canada’s first land battle of the Second World War – waged in the hills and valleys of Hong Kong in December 1941 – and the terrible years the survivors of this bitter battle spent toiling as slave labourers for the Empire of Japan. In the fall of 1941, almost 2,000 members of the Royal Rifles and Winnipeg
Grenadiers disembarked at Hong Kong to reinforce the British garrison defending the colony. A few weeks later, in the wake of Pearl Harbor, the Japanese launched a fierce attack on the colony and pounded the Canadians for 17 brutal days. The Canadians suffered grievously, with 927 men killed or wounded and 1,185 soldiers and two nursing sisters captured – an astounding casualty rate of 100 per cent. And the horror did not end in the hills and valleys of Hong Kong. The survivors spent the next three years living in horrid conditions in Japanese POW camps. Many of them died, either from malnutrition or disease, some from excruciating torture and others from the toll of serving as brute slave labour in factories, shipyards and coal mines. But what elevates this volume is that despite the desperate circumstances, the young Canadians remained unbowed and unbroken. These three titles, and many more about Canadians on the fields of war, are available at your Okanagan Regional Library.

The Ghost Dimension
hen a young father finds a strange video camera in a box in his garage, he experiments with it and soon discovers it has the ability to record the paranormal. Unfortunately, that also means that he has the ability to record the ruin of his family. We say, “Pray it’s finally over.” TAYLOR: Hooray! The liars club announced they’re done feeding us bologna. They’ve saved all their conclusions for this final instalment and pulled out all the stops: 3D ghosties, portals to hell, evil conspiracies. Plus, because of this wacky camcorder, we now get to see what is tormenting our hapless family. If I wasn’t already sick of the Paranormal Activity format, this fifth instalment might have impressed me. As it is, it is merely adequate. Seeing the evil helps. The evil having a goal helps and 3D helps, but we’re still dealing with the same old silliness. HOWE: I thought it was still a pretty pathetic final instalment. I watched a Goosebumps episode last night with my little boy and I found that more entertaining and scarier than this. In fact, I found it scarier than all the Paranormal series put together. The whole franchise is pretty weak, no thrills or scares. It relies mostly on cheap tricks to make you jump. There is no buildup of tension to get the heart racing.

want to go review Goosebumps the movie? You’re always going on about how scary it is. Well, I liked the idea behind the Paranormal Activity films, at first: some weird stuff starts happening, so you set up a video camera to capture what’s going on. The obvious downside is that we spend a lot of time watching people sleep. This time the activity is visible. That, in and of itself is an improvement. Plus, in this film, I was able to find some fear in what these demons were attempting to do. HOWE: I will give it some praise though. This is the best one I have yet seen yet (I have only seen two.) The special effects were pretty good. I liked the idea of the old video camera being used to capture what was going on inside the house. The 3D was pretty useless. I took my glasses off and watched a couple of minutes without them and realized that I didn’t need them. The shots were in focus, so I don’t know what the point of them was.

Art pops up at local libraries Morning Star Staff
Books are not the only things to check out when entering the Lumby and Cherryville libraries this month. Both branches of the Okanagan Regional Library are featuring the works of local artists during November. Trees and flowers have popped up inside the Lumby library with an exhibition by local artist Kathy Munts, who features nature in many of her creations. “My love for art is taking me on an exciting journey of discovery,” said Munts. “Now I am fascinated with acrylic and ink, on their own, and mixed with watercolour and pencil, creating multiple layers of texture and colour.” The Lumby library is also highlighting the tree theme during a holiday-inspired craft session, making environmentally-friendly Christmas trees using recycled magazines. The session takes place Saturday, Nov. 7 from noon to 2 p.m. All supplies will be provided and registration is required as the craft can only
accommodate 10 people. Further east on Highway 6, the Cherryville Artisans Association is showcasing the work of six local artists at the Cherryville library. “The library is a great place to gather for such an event,” said Helen Kovacs, with the Cherryville Artisans Association. “The artists provide artwork and the library will bring in different books on each subject, helping us fulfill our mandate to educate our community.” The artisans’ exhibition kicks off Wednesday, Nov. 4 with an opening reception at 6:30 p.m. Artists Laurel Fredin (pottery), Marie-France Ladouceur (photography), Patti Shonek (pottery and felting), Satish Shonek (pottery masks), Nancy Vince (drawing and prints), and Judy Wasyleshko (photography) will be in attendance to answer questions and show their techniques. All are invited to this free opening and refreshments will be served. The Cherryville Artisans Association display will be on until May, 2016.

She stops at the Coles book store in Vernon’s Village Green Centre for a meet and greet in the late afternoon Saturday, Nov 7. Number two and three in the series, Mr. Nobody’s Shenanigans and Mr. Nobody’s Christmas Treasury, are set in the Little Yellow House on Maple Street, where four children have gotten into some shenanigans, as children do. The stories are created around their adventures, with the help of Mr. Nobody. The books, which feature hand-painted illustrations by Welch’s husband, Dave Welch, are based on the Welch’s four children Katie, Hope, Page and Austin.

HEALTH TIP TERESA SNYDER
brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist
An intrauterine device (IUD) is a very effective method of birth control. However only 5% of women use that method. Compared to birth control pills where there are 5-9 pregnancies per year, for an IUD it is 1 out of 10. IUDs do not increase the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease or ectopic pregnancies. It’s a choice to consider as an alternative to the “pill”. It’s easy to confuse the term “nutritionist” and a registered dietician. The latter can be the former but the former is most often not the latter. Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist but a registered dietician must have a bachelor or master’s degree in nutrition and have done an internship of practical work before being registered. For best on nutrition advice, seek out a registered dietitian. Another space-age medical device available since 2012 is a handheld apparatus that will record your heart rhythm. It allows the storage of up to 20 measurements which can be downloaded into a computer and sent to your doctor. It’s called the HeartCheck Pen and can be used to help manage conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart arrhytmias and to monitor the effects of medicines. Hemorrhoids often aren’t noticed until there is blood in the stools. This could be a sign of other problems as well so it is important to get it checked. Colon cancer is one of these other problems and is most successfully treated when found early. There are medications to sooth mild cases of hemorrhoids. Talk to our pharmacists for some treatment suggestions.

They’ve saved all their conclusions for this final instalment and pulled out all the stops: 3D ghosties, portals to hell, evil conspiracies. Plus, because of this wacky camcorder, we now get to see what is tormenting our hapless family. If I wasn’t already sick of the Paranormal Activity format, this fifth instalment might have impressed me. As it is, it is merely adequate. Seeing the evil helps. The evil having a goal helps and 3D helps, but we’re still dealing with the same old silliness. HOWE: I thought it was still a pretty pathetic final instalment. I watched a Goosebumps episode last night with my little boy and I found that more entertaining and scarier than this. In fact, I found it scarier than all the Paranormal series put together. The whole franchise is pretty weak, no thrills or scares. It relies mostly on cheap tricks to make you jump. There is no buildup of tension to get the heart racing.

If you can talk, you can sing. That is the belief of choir leader and vocal teacher Mary Landers, who with accompanist Jim Johnston, is hosting a singing workshop at the Enderby Drill Hall Saturday, Nov. 7.
Mary Landers
Shuswap Men’s Chorus, which began in 2007 initially for a district Rotary conference. It has continued since and is open to men of all ages. The current conductor of the Salmon Arm Community Band, Johnston studied piano throughout his childhood and teen years and attended UBC, obtaining a bachelor’s in music, majoring in flute. He also pursued a career in teaching, and spent the majority of his years teaching music at the secondary school level. Besides being a talented band director, Johnston is also an indemand piano accompanist and performer. He presently accompanies the Northern Lights Chamber Choir, Ancora Women’s Ensemble and the Shuswap Men’s Chorus. His talents have been recognized by the B.C. Choral Federation, which awarded him the Joyce McGuire accompanist Award in 2010. The Nov. 7 Everyone Can Sing workshop at the Enderby Drill Hall runs from 1 to 4 p.m. Cost is $10 at the door and refreshments are included.

Bridge by Phillip Alder THE TOUGHEST DEAL AT WEEK’S END Yogi Berra, who sadly died last month, produced a classic Yogi-ism when he said, “It’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future.” All week, we have been studying when a defender should or should not overruff. This is the toughest deal of the week. West is defending against four spades. He leads his singleton heart. East wins with his queen and continues with the heart jack. After South ruffs with his spade queen, what should West do? Over North’s one-diamond opening, East might have jumped to four hearts. There is a school that believes with 7-4-1-1 distribution,
one should always bid game immediately (unless too strong for that action, of course). What is the significance in East’s carding? With A-Q-J-10 of hearts, he is supposed to win the first trick with the 10. To break a key defensive rule, he is sending a suit-preference signal, shouting that he has the diamond ace. Therefore, West will be tempted to overruff and to shift to his diamond 10. East would win with his ace and lead another heart, but South would ruff, draw trumps, and claim. West, with only the spade five, should realize that there is no chance of a trump promotion. Instead, at trick two, he should discard his diamond 10,
starting a high-low with his doubleton. South cashes his spade ace and plays another spade. West takes that trick and leads his diamond three. East can win and give his partner a diamond ruff to defeat the contract. If you did that correctly, your partner should give you a pat on the back.

In Loving Memory
Edith Constance Lockwood (Ryder) passed away October 27th, 2015 at the age of 83. Edie was born in Kinuso, Alberta on December 11, 1931 to deaf mute parents Horton and Nancy Ryder. In order for her to grasp the English language, Edie’s parents had her spend time each week with the neighbouring farming family, listening to conversations. By the time she was a toddler, she could talk, but English was her second language, as she was fluent in Sign language by the time she was 4. As a 10-year-old child, Edie was asked to attend a Court hearing to represent her parents by interpreting in Sign. Edie was 13 years old when her first sibling Betty was born, and a young adult by the time sisters Judy and Shelley came along. She taught them how to talk and sign, and a special bond was formed between siblings. Her family moved to Calgary where she met Norman Lockwood, whom she married and together they raised 6 children of their own. Edie took great pleasure in her children and eventually grandchildren and great grandchildren, often voicing her pride in them all. She was a great cook, loved to entertain, and had an open door policy for extended family and friends. She would make too much food just in case someone showed up unexpectedly. A social creature by habit, Edie was actively involved in the community, volunteering at school and acting in small theatre. A few of her favourite pastimes were card playing and dancing. She was also a talented story teller and loved to write. She dabbled in many hobbies over the years, enjoying gardening, painting, crafting and cake decorating. Edie was always stylish & youthful in appearance, often noted for wearing hats and high heels. Over the years, Edie and Norm farmed in Lyalta, Alberta, ran a Drive-Inn restaurant in Langford, lived in Victoria and Mara before settling down in Grindrod for 15 years. They moved to Kamloops when the children were grown and Edie bought a franchise “Our Baby Impressions�, which kept her very busy. She eventually had to quit work to be a caregiver to Norm, who suffered from MS. Edie lived her later years in the Vernon area, where she eventually passed from Alzheimer’s. Edie was predeceased by her husband Norman whom she was happily married to for 47 years, as well as her beloved daughter Melanie (Pat) Thompson. Edie leaves behind children Linda (Randy) Lang, Doug (Diana) Lockwood, Fred (Shelley) Lockwood, Naomi (Terry) McKay, Mike (Sue) Lockwood, 16 grandchildren, 22 great grandchildren, sisters Betty (Frank) Lucianovich, Judy (Terry) Crandlemire, Shelley (Andy) McKegney, many nieces and nephews, and her companion of 12 years, Art Bordeleau. Something we will always remember fondly of Edie is her good nature, her fun loving sense of humour, and her infectious laughter. She will be sadly missed by all. Thank you to staff at Heron Grove for her care in her final year of life. A celebration of life will be held in the spring at the Pleasant Valley Funeral Home, date TBA. Arrangements have been entrusted to Vernon Funeral Home, Phone: 250 542 0155. Condolences may be offered at www.vernonfuneralhome.com

Bruce Jeffers
With great sadness we announce the passing of Bruce Jeffers on October 28, 2015. Bruce was born in Medicine Hat, AB in 1935 and spent his early years on the family farm near Gleichen. With World War II winding down his father ended his military career and moved the family to Vernon. Bruce arrived at the Vernon train station on a beautiful April spring day and began his new life on a farm in White Valley. The Jeffers farm encompassed the heart of present day Lavington where Bruce enjoyed an idyllic rural life in a close-knit community where he made life-long friends and even found his future young bride Wanda. With a new planer mill leasing land on some of the Jeffers farm, Bruce, having experience working in the woods high above Lavington and now starting a young family, shifted from the seasonal survey crew on the Trans-Canada Highway and began an almost 40 year sawmilling career where, especially in the early days, he enjoyed filling all roles required to run the operation. Throughout these years he maintained his passion for hockey and curling and was especially proud to be one of the original Lavington volunteer firefighters when the department was formed in 1973. Although Bruce was happiest at home with family and socializing with friends, he enjoyed many trips including a recent venture to Australia to visit his daughter and walk his granddaughter down the aisle for her wedding. Bruce leaves behind his beloved wife and constant companion of 59 years, Wanda; brother Ken of Vernon; daughter Terry (Keith) of Brisbane, Australia; son Doug (Sandra) of Calgary, AB.; granddaughters Meghann of Surrey, BC and Kelsey (Mick) of Brisbane, Australia; along with extended family throughout Vernon and the Lower Mainland. Bruce also leaves behind a family of special friends that, over the years, became part of his own family. A quiet, reserved man; Bruce was always young at heart with a twinkle in his eye who touched the hearts of most who met him and will be greatly missed by all ‌ especially those who required his self-taught wide-ranging handyman skills! Although the illness was brief, the family is extremely grateful to the caring staff of Vernon Jubilee Hospital and Hospice House. At Bruce’s request there will be no service.

Travelling on the blackness of Shuswap Lake more than five years ago, Leon Reinbrecht piloted his speedboat too fast, wasn’t looking for hazards and did not follow a consistent course when he struck a houseboat, killing its operator, a B.C. Supreme Court justice ruled. Justice Sheri Donegan found Leon Reinbrecht guilty on Tuesday of criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm in connection to the July 3, 2010, crash in Magna Bay that left houseboat operator Ken Brown dead at the scene and at least five other people injured. The resulting impact from the accident following post-Canada Day fireworks on the lake resulted in Reinbrecht’s boat coming to a stop inside the houseboat. Reinbrecht’s defence lawyers suggested the Crown had not proven Reinbrecht was piloting his speedboat dangerously, suggesting instead Brown was at fault because his houseboat was not properly lit and he was intoxicated. But, Donegan agreed with Crown prosecutors Camille Cook and Neil Flanagan that there is ample evidence Reinbrecht’s “joyride” that night — after he dropped off several passengers on shore and returned for a nighttime cruise at speeds between 30 and 40 m.p.h. (48 to 64 km/h), cutting donuts and zig-zagging — was reckless and endangered the safety of his passengers and others. “It constitutes a pattern of wanton or reckless behaviour that amounts to a marked and substantial departure from the standard of care of a reasonably prudent operator in the circumstances,” Donegan said. Brown’s sister, Patty Oliver, said the verdict comes as a relief after more than five years of awaiting justice.
