ourism business operators from across the Thompson Okanagan gathered in Kelowna last week to talk about the growth of their industry. Called the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association Annual General Meeting and Tourism Summit 2015, most of that talk around the Manteo Resort conference room was positive. Revenues for tourism businesses is up in our region, five to 10 per cent over previous years. Many saw business pick up in the months of May, June and September, something that wouldn’t have happened a decade ago. The tourism industry pumped $1.75 billion in spent dollars into the Thompson-Okanagan region, and attracted 3.5 million visitors. “Some areas felt the impact of the forest fires and the smoke in the air towards the end of summer,” acknowledged Glenn Mandzuik, chief executive officer of the Thompson Okanagan Tourist Association. “But even with that, there is a very positive attitude within our industry across the region.” Not that there are not challenges on the immediate horizon – marketing awareness, labour shortfall and the potential impacts of climate change – but Mandziuk said the industry is positioning itself to continue to prosper. In recent years, TOTA has began to tout the concept of a regional marketing to its members, that a collective marketing approach is better for business, and offers greater attraction options for tourists, rather than directly competing with each other. “There has been an evolution in how we market ourselves as a region, but it’s still a work in progress,” he said. Mandziuk also cited the importance of establishing Destination BC, a provincial tourism marketing arm of the government that is overseen by the industry rather than politicians or political appointees, to help market

Mandziuk points out how some pockets of the Lower Mainland still don’t realize the Okanagan has a wine industry, and the need to combat the focus on B.C.’s “golden triangle” for tourism – Vancouver, Victoria and Whistler. Walt Judas is the chief executive officer of the Tourism Industry Association of B.C. and one of the guest speakers at last week’s summit. Judas said his message was largely positive, in particular pointing out what a fabulous year it’s been for the Thompson Okanagan.
“There is a tourism product here that continues to grow and mature, case in point being the wine industry, where generally operators and tourism businesses have done well to market the attractions here,” Judas said. “It’s not just the weather or drop in the Canadian dollar bringing more Americans here, but a buildup of a lot of hard work by destination marketing groups like Tourism Kelowna and (TOTA) for several years.” But Judas said the industry can’t let up on the need for marketing awareness initiatives, and will have to address labour shortages and climate change. On the labour front, Judas said tourism operators have difficulty filling the job openings, particularly those which are seasonal. “Finding seasonal employees is always a challenge, and providing accommodation for them is problematic as well,” Judas said. “Sometimes foreign workers are willing to come here and work, sharing accommodation with others in order to send money back home,

while for people here they have higher expectations for the type of work they desire to do. “They are looking instead for jobs with higher wages and for jobs that are personally more careeroriented.” It is a similar challenge to what the local agriculture industry faces, where nobody locally wants to pick the fruit leaving orchardists to increasingly rely on other labour options, such as bringing in workers from Mexico. Like agriculture, for the tourism industry there are no easy answers to that issue, but Judas said the industry has to continue to build a marketing case for how tourismrelated jobs are a great resumé builder and a way to learn more about the career opportunities that tourism might hold. “There is also the opportunity to enjoy some of the resort areas and cities around or province to experience the amazing amenities that draws tourists there, whether it be skiing in the winter or summer activities,” Judas said. Mandzuik said TOTA estimates

$
that by 2020, there will be a shortfall of people to fill 1,600 full-time jobs, one that his organization wants to address “head-on” now rather than waiting till it reaches a crisis stage. “We already hear about labour issues in our region. I know of one hotel property that has to close down half the hotel because they can’t find staff to support keeping the rooms open,” Mandziuk said. “Those issues are important for us because it is the tourism employees that play a key role in delivering a positive tourism experience to our visitors.” He said if you don’t have enough staff it will diminish the experience, one of the best marketing tools for bringing people back again and again. To that end, Mandzuik said TOTA and a provincial human resources initiative called GO TO HR have joined forces on a $250,000 investment over the next two years to put a tourism industry labour recruiter on the ground in the Okanagan. That person’s role, Mandzuik explained, is to develop awareness on both a local and international level of job opportunities that exist here. The mandate will be to reach out to local high schools and post-secondary institutions to educate students on those job opportunities, to work with smaller tourism operators who don’t have human resources management staff to attract workers and to spread the recruitment message on an international level as well. “This is a big movement for us, but we want to raise the level of awareness for job opportunities in the tourism industry starting now and not wait until those challenges arise in 2020,” Mandziuk said. As for climate change, Judas said it remains an issue that “is hard to get a handle on.” For the tourism industry, it’s important to understand the potential impact of climate change and where it could lead down the road.

Vernon’s Sebastian Yamada (left middle in yellow shirt) plays with some of the children in the community of Palau in Thailand, where his dad, Ronnie, is working on building a school. Ronnie (above) studies with Susan Gerle in the Teaching English as a Second Language course as he prepares to move to Thailand.
Local takes life-changing leap of faith JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
A Vernon man’s dream to make a difference may leave him poorer at the bank but rich with fulfillment. Ronnie Yamada, who owns Siam Orchid restaurant with his wife Orathai, is ready to take a leap of faith and move his family to Thailand next year. Trading his serving tray for a ruler, Ronnie’s dream is to return to teaching by opening up a school in a remote village outside of Bangkok. “Even my family thinks I’m nuts,” said Ronnie, who is doing this virtually all on his own. “My philosophy is: life is like a book. We have good chapters and bad chapters but we always need a new chapter.” The inspiration for this new chapter came from his eight-yearold son Sebastian, while on a recent trip to Thailand. While Ronnie is Canadian (of Japanese descent), his wife is from
Bangkok therefore they return three months a year with their son. They recently bought a home in a small area called Palau, four hours southeast of Bangkok. While working on his home and mango orchard, Ronnie also spent some time teaching the children of the small community. The parents were overwhelmingly grateful for the time Ronnie took to sit down and connect with the children, many of whom cannot afford to go to school. “There’s no public school system and if there is it’s two hours away and parents can’t afford it,” said Ronnie, who would spend his Sundays with the children. As grateful as the families were, Ronnie found an even greater benefit out of his experience. “There’s no financial benefit from it, there’s a spiritual benefit,” said Ronnie, who taught in Japan 18 years ago and found this recent return to teaching to be immensely
“Papa, you can make a difference here.” — Sebastian Yamada
fulfilling. But it was the words of his son that truly inspired Ronnie to make teaching these children the next chapter in his life. “Papa, you can make a difference here,” Sebastian told his father one evening. “That was the game changer, that was the TSN turning point,” said Ronnie of the “one sentence that can change a lifetime.” Therefore taking any profits he makes from his restaurant in Vernon, Ronnie is sending money back to Palau to build a school. “I’m hoping if everything goes right, it can be done in February because I’m leaving in March.” Ronnie is hoping to recruit a
couple of teachers who have the same desire to make a difference to join him at the school. “It’s not for everybody. It takes the special type of person to live there. It’s not financial, it’s the experience.” Helping him along the way, Susan Gerle has been mentoring Ronnie and preparing him for his journey. “I’ve assisted setting up an international school before and I know how much work Ronnie has ahead of him,” said Gerle, who instructs a Teaching English as a Second Language (TESOL) in Vernon and Puerto Vallarta. Through the course, Gerle has been teaching Ronnie to teach English to adults and children. “She’s a big mentor of mine,” said Ronnie. “Hopefully I can help Ronnie prepare volunteers to teach when the school in rural Thailand is open,” said Gerle. “It would also be fun to eventually teach the TESOL course
there too!” When they do make the big move, Ronnie and his wife are hoping they can get someone to look after the restaurant for them. “We’d like to keep it open.” And in the meantime, he hopes his actions will show others that dreams can come true. “I just want to let people know that there is more out there.”

Rail corridor offers future tourism boost Continued from front “Adjustments have to be made for certain tourism businesses, certain sectors and products that might feel a negative impact,” he said. Judas cites the ski industry as one example, where changing weather patterns impact the amount of snow a ski hill may expect to receive in future years. “The ski industry is a good example because if there is a lack of snow, how do those resorts adjust to that given the huge investments in infrastructure, marketing and staff that are made? What do they do to adjust to that reality? Judas said Whistler is an example of a ski resort evolving into a year-round tourist playground, to where summer revenues out-pace the ski season.
Your
“It can be an issue with a fishery, with weather and storms, forest fires. As an industry we have to be aware and prepare for the inevitable, and try to mitigate the impacts,” he said. Judas thinks one key, given that few resorts have Whistler’s marketing resources, is that they have nature that will attract tourists. Mandziuk said TOTA is placing a lot of emphasis on the development of the Kettle Valley Railway, from Christina Lake in the Kootenays to Hope, as an outdoor experience that tourists are looking for. He said that rail corridor offers potential tourism benefits to all the communities along the Kettle Valley corridor, and is an outdoor experience that tourism surveys indicate consumers want to have.

For that reason, the efforts to develop the CN Corridor between Vernon and Kelowna, also has the attention of TOTA. “That project is on our radar as well, although not as far along at this point as Kettle Valley. But we are a strong supporter of the (CN Corridor) trail because that is what consumers are telling us they want,” Mandziuk said. “The beautiful thing about the (CN Corridor) is it is easily accessible. “Being an old railway the trail is relatively flat, it’s not treacherous to walk along and it gives people walking a chance to get immersed in nature, to have that experience.” Mandziuk cited the example of the famous El Camino de Santiago trail in Spain which generates millions in tourism benefits for the communities connected to the historic pilgrimage route. “People walk that trail for spiritual or health reasons, but many communities along that trail wouldn’t exist today without it and the tourism it brings. “When I look at the potential of the (CN) trail, I think of what a shot in the arm it could be for a community like Oyama to build tourism industry growth.”

Family preserves wetland area Morning Star Staff
A portion of Oyama wetland has been protected for future generations. Joyce Young, 96, and her sons, David and Robert Young, have donated the area known as Marsh Lake to Ducks Unlimited Canada. Although DUC largely intends to preserve the wetland in its current condition, it recently restored a grassy area alongside the wetland to native riparian vegetation. “ W i l d l i f e populations in the area will benefit from the addition of prickly rose, snowberry, willow, dogwood and other shrubs planted along the wetland edge,” states a release. The parcels of land have been in the family since the 1930s. “Joyce has spent decades watching the goings-on of painted turtles, great blue herons, red-winged and yellow-headed blackbirds, ring-necked pheasants, and a variety of snakes, frogs and waterfowl that have made their homes in and around the marsh over the year,” states the release. “Her children and

Board offers sewer extension help richard rolke Morning Star Staff
The prospect of sewer extending into rural jurisdictions is garnering the attention of the Okanagan’s primary water agency. Areas B and C, Spallumcheen and the Okanagan Indian Band are considering options for sanitary sewer. “That’s the kind of thing we can help with,” said Anna Warwick Sears, Okanagan Basin Water Board executive director. OBWB provides grants to communities
throughout the valley to upgrade or install sewer systems as a way of shutting down septic systems and flows of phosphorous into lakes. Beyond issuing its own grants, OBWB will support jurisdictions applying to senior government for infrastructure funds. “We try to help communities with funds,” said Warwick Sears. As part of the process, the electoral areas, Spallumcheen and the OKIB will develop a master waste water recovery plan to see if a sewer system is practical and financially sustainable.

Vernon water meter replacement fee considered richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Advisory Committee is proposing a fee for replacement of water meters. “We have a lot of old meters in stock and we’re trying to catch up,” said Zee Marcolin, water utility manager. “We have 4,000 old meters and that’s a big hit for us.” The levy would be a minimum of $8 per

quarter. The cost to replace a meter depends on the size of the device and it can range from $350 to $5,000. Marcolin says meters don’t fail but they get less efficient over time. “They can be 30 to 40 per cent inaccurate. We’re losing revenue because of that.”
Some existing general meters are 30 years old and the lifespan is 15 years. “ T h e y should have been replaced years ago,” said Stephen Banmen, Banmen Regional District of North Okanagan’s process
manager of finance. G V A C is currently looking at ways to simplify the establishment of water fees. How e v e r, director Bob Spiers suggests the could identify
inequalities. “Everyone is making out like bandits except for the low-cost user,” he said. Spiers says a person using 10 cubic metres of water per quarter could see a 12 per cent increase in rates while those using 80 cubic metres would experience a 1.8 per cent hike.
“We must look at the zero to 20 (cubic metres) and make that more fair.” Staff and other board members insist that Spiers’ concerns will be considered. “We don’t want lower users to pay disproportionately to higher users,” said Juliette Cunningham, chairperson.

While most Coldstream residents are satisfied with their present park system, a majority say new park space, including waterfront is needed. These, and other responses from a recent survey will help shape the future of Coldstream through its parks master plan, which is currently in draft form. At the end of September a community survey regarding the parks master plan was circulated to all households in Coldstream as an insert in the quarterly utility invoice. Respondents were given up to Oct. 23 to complete and return the survey to the municipal office. “The survey results, a total of 264, have been compiled with interesting results,” reads the report, put together by Recresynthesis Consulting Ltd. and O ut l and Design Landscape Architecture. When asked how they would rate the current park facilities, 27 per cent replied great, 46 said OK, 17 per cent say it needs help, seven per cent said it was poor and three per cent don’t know. Meanwhile a number of residents are utilizing the existing spaces: 33 per cent once/week, 19 per cent once/month, 21 per cent more and 27 per cent less. “Walking, relaxation and lake access are main reasons for park use,” reads the report. The majority of residents either walk or drive to local parks. “Although parks are close at hand for most, the use of vehicles to access remains high,” reads the report. A majority of residents say the district should definitely acquire new parkland (58 per cent) while 34 per cent say, ‘no, we’re OK now,’ and eight per cent say ‘suppose so.’ A majority (63 per

Usable park space in all neighbourhoods is also a high priority (70 per cent). Areas that preserve the natural ecosystems and promote environmental awareness should also be incorporated, according to 90 per cent of respondents. The same percent-
age agreed that parks and open spaces in the District of Coldstream should enhance the character of the community and promote the District as a destination for residents and visitors alike. The report also includes several recommendations, including consolidation of all Kalavista Park properties with removal of the log cabin and ancillary buildings to be replaced with a covered multi-
use pagoda structure. Develop a pedestrian pathway from Kalavista parking lot through consolidated properties to the Kalavista Boat Launch area. Consolidation of Jestef Parkland with Middleton Mountain Park. A decision on the future use of Aberdeen Park, although a covenant currently exists on the site. “If a gymnastics centre were to proceed, with proper design, the site could be multifaceted in housing park space to meet local needs as well,” reads the report. It is also recommended that the district investigate viable options to replace the Women’s Institute Hall with a community facility that would augment Cenotaph Park and assist in creating a vibrant town centre core.

“
Words fail me
Just don’t Muldoon me,” Bruce said when I asked him if I could hitch a ride with him to the gym. I had no idea what he was talking about. “What’s a Muldoon?” “It’s not a what; it’s a who. Muldoon was a guy I used to know. Whenever we drove somewhere together, to the grocery store or the hardware store, he’d always say, ‘Do you mind if I stop at the dry cleaner’s to pick up my shirts?’ or ‘Do you mind if we Jim Mullen stop at the drugstore first?’ Every little 10-minute trip would take an hour and a half. Finally I had to stop telling him where I was going, or he’d want to tag along.” It turns out, I had been Muldooned many, many times. I just didn’t know there was a word for it. Once, an elderly neighbor asked me if I could drive her to the vet to pick up her dog. Sure, OK. I’m a nice guy; why not? So we got in the car and I asked her where the vet’s office was. My neighbor said, “Oh, I don’t know the address. Just drive around and I’ll know it when I see it.” That took half a day. I suppose it wasn’t technically Muldooning because we didn’t make any unplanned stops, but it felt the same. There must be thousands of things we don’t have words for, but should. Often Sue will ask me, “Can you do something for me?” and the only proper answer for a husband would be “sure,” or maybe “in a minute.” But my answer is always “What?” That is the wrong answer, but she’s also asking the wrong question. It’s much too vague. What is the “something” she wants me to do? Is it something evil? Unethical? Is it against my religion? I’m sorry, you’ll have to be more specific. Like, “Can you do the dishes for me?” or “Can you rake the leaves

today?” instead of this open-ended “Can you do something for me?” While it drives me crazy, I can’t see calling it a “Sue.” Besides, “Don’t Sue me” would mean something entirely different. Still, there should be a word for her vague questioning. Is there a word for the right time to arrive at a dinner party? In the rural parts of the country, when people say, “Come to dinner at 6,” they mean for you to arrive at 6 o’clock and sit down to eat. In the city, when someone says, “Come to dinner at 7:30,” if you show up before 8, you’re likely to catch your hosts just getting out of the shower. At 8, they might start serving appetizers and drinks. Dinner will be served around 9. These rules are never spoken, and must be sussed out over time; your results may vary depending on where you live. But there should be a word that describes the actual time that you are actually expected to arrive for dinner. How many times have you been eating with someone and they say, “This food is hot!” and you say, “Hot-hot or spicy-hot?” There should be an unambiguous word meaning spicy-hot. Once, we had an old friend from the city visiting us, along with his new wife, whom we were meeting for the first time. After an hour’s casual conversation, she asked where the bathroom was. Sue told her to take a left out the living room door, and as our guest got to the doorway, she turned to her husband and said, “Watch my purse.” We’re sure she didn’t mean to be rude; in a restaurant in the city, I’m sure that is a common and important instruction from a wife to a husband. In our living room, not so much. So what do we call that slip-up? The words “blunder,” “faux pas,” “rude,” and “embarrassing” do not really get across that it was also unintentionally funny. There should be a word for it. (Contact Jim Mullen at JimMullenBooks. com.)
On Wednesday Justin Trudeau went from being Liberal leader to Canada’s 23rd prime minister heading a cabinet of 30. Of note is its diversity. According to the Canadian Press, the cabinet includes two aboriginal ministers, two disabled ministers, one openly gay minister, a refugee from Afghanistan and four Sikhs. Trudeau said this is a cabinet “that looks like Canada.” After a decade of government under Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper, Canadians asserted on Oct. 19 that they had enough of a regime notorious for its secrecy, control and putting party and politics before the interests of Canadians. Whether accurate or not, those were the perceptions about the Conservatives many Canadians brought to the ballot box. Perhaps Trudeau summed up the spirit in which he ran, and the one in which we all hope he governs, when he said on election night that those in other parties are not our enemies; they are our neighbours. The question isn’t whether Trudeau and his new cabinet and caucus can now live up to the hype. We know they can’t. The question is how he and his government will respond when the first crisis hits. And given the nature of global and domestic politics, there will be crises. Trudeau has selected a cabinet which represents all aspects of Canada; women, men, First Nations, business, LGBTQ, immigrants and others. We don’t expect perfection, we do want representation. “We’re a government that wants to earn Canadians’ trust by demonstrating that we trust Canadians,” Trudeau said. Let’s hope that happens. — Nanaimo Daily News

Students tap into election vibe
ow that the voting is over, the cabinet chosen and the prime minister sworn in, I would like to share the most exciting result of this election for me — the youth engagement. As the teacher-librarian at École Secondaire W.L. Seaton Secondary School, I have witnessed the apathy of teens during many previous election cycles. However, as with all of Canada, this one was different. Weeks before the Oct. 19 federal election, there was a buzz in our hallways. Students were discussing and researching the different parties and their platforms. They were talking about our local candidates. They were taking online polls to see where they stood personally and they were having heated discussions with their peers and parents. Hundreds of students voluntarily came
NO NEW ARENA I am a 69-year-old retiree living in the Okanagan Landing area of Vernon. I live on what is essentially a fixed income. This year, our taxes rose at about double the rate of inflation. Like many oldtimers, I don't use the running track (total cost not yet determined), ice skate or watch the Vernon Vipers. However, I do enjoy going to the farmers market, a revenue generator, and the occasional swim in our aging pool. It seems to me that we are pandering to elitist, special interest groups such as amateur and junior hockey while ignoring the wants and needs of a substantial portion of our electorate, fixed-income retirees. Please consider your property taxes and mine when you vote on Nov. 28. Bill Dunsmore TIME HAS COME I arrived in Vernon in 1991 to begin my career and start my family in this well-known community. With such opportunities of year-round sports, tournaments, trade shows, fundraising events, live concerts and community functions, I am raising two boys, that have used Civic Arena. As a great fan of winter sports and arriving from Alberta, hockey
out to watch our mock debate. Intelligent, thought-provoking questions were asked about the economy, refugees and the environment. Students held a mock vote and during a one-hour period, almost 600 students voluntarily marked a ballot (incidentally, the results were fairly evenly split). Oct. 20, the day after the election, was filled with discussion and continued debate. As a parent, a teacher and a Canadian, I am optimistic about our great country’s future. I know we have passionate, informed young citizens who will actively participate in future elections and exercise their democratic right to vote. Julia Mawhinney, Teacher-Librarian, W.L. Seaton Secondary School
is an important sport for my children and me. I have seen Civic Arena provide our friend's children, our children and the community the opportunity to use the arena which was more than 50 years old then and now has reached its prime time of 78 years. Give the building the dignity to retire people. All the people out there, please ask yourself, "Is it time to vote yes Nov. 28?" Your past children and their children have used Civic Arena and now it's time to look to the future of your children and their children's children to be provided an opportunity to continue the importance of participation in sports like hockey, figure skating, ringette and speed skating. This time Yes is the right decision you can make for yourself and for all the little people's future that cannot vote. Vernon missed the opportunity back in 2001 and should have built Kal Tire Place with a twin facility like our neighbour Salmon Arm. Now we are in desperate need to see this arena referendum go through and do it right this time. The future is to keep our children and people in Vernon to use this new facility. It makes financial sense to do
it right instead of soaking in more money to repair Civic Arena in the next three to five years. We all know the money needs to go towards a new addition to the north end of Kal Tire Place. This facility would give Vernon increased revenue opportunities in our community. This project will enhance a new drawing card from other communities, and such revenues from trade shows, bonspiels, tournaments, fundraising activities, live concerts, etc. Most important about this arena referendum is if we do it now, it will save millions of dollars in the long-term and it will lower the operating costs by running a twin facility at Kal Tire Place in one location vs. the two locations we have now. Let's be sensible. Sue Ang WATER RATES As I read Joel van der Molen's letter, I thought, "You are comparing apples to oranges." So I decided to do a water break down and compare gas to water litre for litre. I took out our last water bill which was from 01/04/15 to 30/06/15. The bill was for $124.92, — $101.80 was water base and $23.12 was water consumption. A cubic metre of water is 1,000
litres. If I were to pay the same price as gas was today per litre that would work out to $1,179 for a cubic meter of water. That is more than we paid for the past two years for water. I then multiplied the $1,179 by 26 (because that's how many cubic metres we consumed) and that came out to $30,654.00, had we paid $1.179 per litre. I then did the math on how much we paid per litre of water and it worked out to $0.004805. 26000×.004805= $124.93. Now I ask you, who do you think is really ripping us off? Pat Scherck MLA DISAPPOINTS Eric Foster, shame on you for telling Mr. Jones that there is nothing you can do to remediate the cancellation of school busing in rural Lumby and Cherryville. If we cannot go to you for assistance in these cases, then what are you there for? I suggest you check the job description of an MLA. The way I understand it, you are the elected representative of the people that elected you. That means you are the one we turn to when we have a problem with the way the government agencies are handling things. Why are you turning your back
on the people in your constituency? As I say, it is a sad day when our representative hides behind a manufactured technicality. Shame on you Eric. Go to bat for the people who rely on you. Charlie Fisher

Star making tracks for nordic Morning Star Staff
More than 40 km of Silver Star’ Mountain Resort’s nordic trails will open for skiers on Thursday, Nov. 12 due to recent plentiful snowfall on the mountain. Last weekend saw a 29 cm dump of snow in the alpine allowing groomers to prepare a number of the trails for early season nordic skiing, fat biking and snowshoeing. With more of the white stuff in the forecast for the coming week, the resort is optimistic early season skiers will enjoy a terrific opening weekend. “All the Putnam Creek and Village green trails are definitely going to be open,” said Guy Paulsen, Silver Star’s winter sports manager, “with a number of blue trails also accessible. That’s the conservative prediction. If the forecast for snow holds, there will be even more trails to choose from.” Snowshoers will have some options for opening weekend; however, as Paulsen explained, it takes longer for the snowshoe trails to build the right amount of snow depth. “Snowshoe trails are under the tree canopy,” said Paulsen, “and need wind-associWATKINMOTORS.COM

We’re certain the Bridle Path will be open and hope for more.” Fat bikers will be able to ride the multiuse Bridle Path trail starting Nov. 12. The newest addition to Silver Star’s winter sports roster, fat bikers can explore 15 km of trails this season, with 10 km of trail dedicated exclusively to fat biking. To help acquaint more mountain biking enthusiasts with the relatively new sport, the resort’s rental shop is stocking fat bikes and offering introductory sessions for new riders. The Silver Star Nordic trails, in com-
bination with Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre, form Canada’s largest continuously groomed cross-country ski network. The size of the trail network and the region’s early snow make it a favourite destination for nordic athletes looking for pre-season training. Alpine skiers and snowboarders can look forward to opening day on Nov. 26. With a formidable El Nino event predicted for this year and more than 130 acres of new terrain on the mountain, there is a lot of excitement at Silver Star for the new 2015-16 season.

Bulldogs bite Vipers
LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR
Caden Doyle (bottom) and Andrew Goldenthal of the Fulton Maroons try and hold back the force that is Tyler Riva of the Vernon Panthers as he powers through for a touchdown Friday night at the Greater Vernon Athletics Park. The conference-champion Panthers crushed the Maroons 52-0 in the final regular-season game for both teams. VSS will host a B.C. championship playoff contest Friday, Nov. 13, at 6 p.m. at GVAP against either the Abbotsford Panthers or Mission Roadrunners.

Come hell or high water, said Vernon Vipers head coach Mark Ferner from Vancouver Island, the players on his B.C. Hockey League team will become good defensively. Collectively, the Vipers were not good in their own end in Port Alberni Friday, and it cost the club as the Bulldogs doubled the Snakes 6-3 in front of 953 fans at the Weyerhauser Arena. “We need to be more dedicated to our own end, in a nutshell,” said Ferner, watching video of the game in his hotel room Saturday morning.” “We have a group that has some talent but they’re not passionate enough about playing defence.” The Vipers (9-100-1) took on the Island Division-leading Cowichan Valley Capitals (10-6-1-2) Saturday and finish up the road trip this afternoon against the Eagles (4-16-0-0) in Surrey. Vernon outshot the Bulldogs 40-28 on the night but were stymied by goalie Carson Schamerhorn – brother of former Vipers netminder Jarrod. Brendan Barry made his first start in goal for Vernon since Oct. 10 – Andrew Shortridge, out with an injury, played seven straight prior to Friday – and, according to Ferner, was solid. “Brendan was fine. He stopped the pucks he needed to stop,” said Ferner, reiterating that
Panthers maul Maroons Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Panthers scored early and often, taking down their cross-town rival Fulton Maroons 52-0 before a huge crowd trying to keep warm under the lights of a frosty Greater Vernon Athletics Park Friday night. It was the final regular season high school Senior Boys AA varsity football game for both teams. Public address announcer Bob Shannon recognized the graduating players from both teams prior to kick-off. Fresh off a AA Provincial Player of the Week Award, Levi Nicholas opened the scoring on the Panthers’ second drive of the game, taking a 21-yard reverse for a major. Tailback Jonah Anstey (eight rushes for 117 yards) then hit pay dirt on consecutive drives, taking it in from two and 45 yards to put the Cats up by 19 in the first quarter. “I was very happy with the way we ran the ball all game,” said Vernon head coach Sean Smith. “Jonah had his best game as a Panther and our offensive line got better as the
game progressed.” The Panthers evoked memories of Chicago Bears legend William (The Refrigerator) Perry in the 1980s when defensive tackle Tyler Riva rambled in from the one-yard line. Riley Bos rounded out the scoring in the first half with a 21-yard run to put the visitors up by 33 at the break. Panther pivot Justin Haverkamp (8-12 for 129 yards, two touchdowns) hit Nicholas and Ben Hladik for majors while Bos rushed for his second of the game. “This group is starting to gel and come together as a team,” said Smith. “For the second week in a row, they were able to execute our game plan to perfection on defence and stayed focused on every play. Our team tackling was outstanding today. We had 14 players make tackles on defence, seven players carry the ball on offence and five different players catch passes.” Defensively, Tyler Semeniuk led all VSS tacklers with six, while Ben Hladik and Jesse Bielski added five

apiece. Defensive back Zach Hyer continued to shine on the back end intercepting two Fulton passes. For the Maroons, Ike Olson had a great game on both sides of the line. He rushed nine times for 25 yards and, as QB, completed 9-18 passes for 75 yards. Cole Hunter caught three passes for 33 yards, Kobe Romanovitch added 2-15, Teigen Derkach had 2-15 and Caden Doyle caught three passes for 15 yards. “On a tough night, Ike really stepped up for us,” said Maroons head coach Mike Scheller. “He played well on both sides of the ball and has a very bright future in the game. Koalden GudeitOakden (led Fulton with six tackles) also played very well for us. Derkach made a couple of nice catches. He is a great kid who works hard every day in practice and just gets better.” Andrew Goldenthal had four tackles for Fulton, Ryan Rumsey and Bhupi Banga added three each. “Our kids competed and did their best,” said Scheller, who loses six players – Colton

Annis, Romanovitch, Noah Alleyne, Banga, Gurwinder Dhanoa and Mykl Drabiuk – out of 30 to graduation. “They can be proud of that. They fought but were just simply overmatched. VSS is a well-coached team and they are very physical. Our guys are still young and lack the physicality to compete with VSS.” Scheller praised his coaching staff for all of their hard volunteer work: Dale Olson, Ben Olson, Kevin Stecyk, Kevin Breiter, Bryan Cragg, Darryl Thomas and Dave Hobbs. The Panthers begin preparations for playoffs and will host the #3 seed from the Eastern Conference – likely the Abbotsford Panthers or Mission Roadrunners – (Friday, Nov. 13, 6 p.m. at Greater Vernon Athletics Park). “They are the top conference in the league and have three teams ranked in the top-five in B.C.,” said Smith. The Vernon Panthers (3-1) will take on undefeated Duchess Park Condors of Prince George (4-0) Thursday in Kamloops in a B.C. junior varsity quarterfinal.

Barry didn’t get a lot of help. “I feel bad for our goaltending. We need to clean up our own end. That’s the bottom line.” The Vipers opened the scoring Friday thanks to newcomer Ben Butcher. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound Butcher, acquired from the Langley Rivermen for defenceman Austin Cho, beat Schamerhorn at 6:14 of the opening period. Butcher played on a line with Jimmy Lambert and Brett Stapley. Liam Finlay, with his seventh of the year, and Riley Brandt, with his 10th, rounded out the Vipers scoring. The game also marked the debut of new Vernon defenceman Latrell Charleson, who last played with the Surrey Eagles in February after being suspended indefinitely after colliding with, and pushing, a referee in a game against Chilliwack. “Both new guys looked good,” said Ferrner. “Latrell hasn’t played in, what, five or six months and he was good, made plays. His conditioning looked fine. “Ben was good, exactly what we needed, a big body down the middle with experience that understands the game.” The Vipers host Merritt Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Kal Tire Place. An information booth on the upcoming public referendum to twin Kal Tire Place will be set up during the game.

Playoffs set at Fulton tourney Morning Star Staff
Quarterfinal matches began the final day of action Saturday at the Fulton Maroons senior girls invitational volleyball tournament. The host Maroons squared off with the Sa-Hali Sabres of Kamloops while the Kalamalka Lakers faced the Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops and Vernon Panthers took on the George Elliott Coyotes of Lake Country. The other quarterfinal had Princess Margaret Mustangs of Penticton battling the Westsyde Whundas of Kamloops. Winners advanced to the noon semifinals, with the championship game slated for later Saturday. The Panthers finished in a three-way tie for first place in its pool with Valleyview and Westsyde at 2-1, with the Maroons coming fourth at 0-3. VSS scored a 25-14, 25-16 win over crosstown rivals Fulton, and knocked off Westsyde 25-21-25-18 before losing 18-25, 25-20, 15-13 to Valleyview. The Vikings fell in three close games to city rivals Westsyde but beat Fulton 25-22-25-18. The Whundas were 25-18, 25-22 winners over the Maroons. In Pool B, the Lakers finished third at 1-2. Kal defeated George Elliott 27-25, 17-25, 15-10 but lost in straight sets to Princess Margaret (2517, 25-19) and Sa-Hali (25-15, 25-22). The Panthers will get an automatic berth to the B.C. AAA senior girls championship, which they’ll host at Vernon Secondary School. The tournament will run Dec. 2-5.

contest to the Chase Heat. The defeat ran the Knights’ (3-13-1-3) winless streak to 13 games going into a Saturday night contest at home against the 100 Mile House Wranglers (13-4-0-2), the top team in the Doug Birks Division. Five of North Okanagan’s last six losses during the slump have been by one goal including two in overtime. “Again, we were right there but we have to get over that hump,” said Knights head coach and general manager Bryant Perrier who will be looking at tweaking the lineup before the first of
two player move deadlines Dec. 1. “I can’t do something just for the sake of doing it. It’s got to be a move or two that will help build the club. There are some areas we need to fix. “We’re looking to improve the club and if I can do that in the next couple of weeks, I will.” The Heat – who sit third in the Doug Birks Division at 11-7-1-0 – opened the scoring with 7:07 left in the first period on a goal from Kolten Moore, the first of two on the night for the Kamloops product. Chase led 1-0 after 20 minutes. Moore and Spencer Farstad scored in the
middle frame to give the hometown Heat a 3-0 lead heading into the third. Mitchell Lukacs got North Okanagan on the board at 7:27 on a powerplay, his second goal of the year, with Cameron Welch and Trent Redschlag drawing assists. Welch pulled the Knights to within one with 4:50 remaining. His fourth of the season was set up by Redschlag and Ryan Moon. Goalie Tristan Quiring was the Knights’ game star, making 40 saves as Chase outshot North Okanagan 43-21. The Knights entered
Saturday’s game in fourth place in the O k a n a g a n - S hu s w ap Division, one point ahead of Princeton and 10 behind third-place Summerland. The Posse, winless in their last 10, fell 4-1 Friday in Grand Forks to the Border Bruins. The Steam were 5-1 winners Friday at home over the Kelowna Chiefs. The Golden Rockets continue to look for their first win of the season. The league’s only team without a W dropped to 0-17-02 Friday as they lost 5-2 on the road to the Creston Valley Thunder Cats.

Crowe cashes Bermuda bucks Morning Star Staff
Armstrong’s Jesse Crowe and Salmon Arm’s Cody Bell bagged $500 for placing 25th in the inaugural Nike Golf PGA Team Championship of Canada at The Mid Ocean Club in Tucker’s Town, Bermuda last week. There was a $90,000 purse with Bill Walsh and Danny King of Ontario claiming the $12,000 first prize. King was the PGA of Canada’s No. 1 ranked player and Walsh was rated fourth. They finished at 21-under for three days. “The golf course is beautful,” said Crowe, head pro at Salmon Arm Golf & Country Club. “There are a few tee boxes where if you step too far to the right, you’re in the ocean. “It was very difficult weather for the alternate shot the second day. It was some of the worst wind I have ever encountered. It was a great event and a first-class tourney.” Crowe and Bell were in 11th spot at 5-under after the opening best-ball round. They dipped to 15th after the alternate and then couldn’t make any serious putts while going 3-under in the scramble. Shannon Glenesk and Justin Baillargeon of Vernon were 37th, while Bob Duncan of Strictly Golf and Jeff Wills of Michaelbrook Ranch in Kelowna were 45th.
Newcomers lift Topsport to win Morning Star Staff
Topsport FC toppled Monashee FC 4-1 in Vernon Men’s Indoor Soccer League play Wednesday night at VantageOne Soccer Centre. Newcomers Lendrit Ademi, Enzo Paal, and Mwiza Singogo made their debuts with Topsport, who were looking to continue the momentum from last week after a great win over NET. Topsport controlled possession and passed the ball patiently while waiting for an opening. The Monashee defence were strong and not letting anything through. After a shot from Ademi which the Monashee keeper parried away, Fabrice Fanfani was there to bury the rebound. The second half kicked off with more great passing play from Topsport. After a Topsport corner, Monashee countered and were able to slot in the 1-1 equalizer. Topsport struck back harder and pulled back ahead after Fanfani finished a beautiful 180-degree, left-footed spinning volley, his fifth of the season. Later on, Ademi converted twice, one of which was a cheeky chip finish. In the last minute, a Monashee defender was sent off after being shown a second yellow card for a dangerous challenge on Paal.

Fay Wiebe of Knox Presbyterian Church chooses music for the upcoming Seniors Worship Service with Morag Ritchings from Noric House. Back by popular demand, the service runs Thursday at 1:45 p.m., with the theme “Praise and Patriotism.” As it’s close to Remembrance Day, the team decided to bring out hymns that kept faith strong during difficult times. “This service will definitely appeal to those with war-time memories,” said Dr. Rev. Teresa Charlton, minister at Knox. The community is encouraged to attend, and bring a neighbour or friend. “Extra staff will be on hand to help assist the one you love, if mobility is an issue, “ said Charlton.

Albert and Evadelle Paquin celebrate their 75th anniversary today. So the story begins. Both born in the little town of St. Edouard, Alta., Albert Sept. 23, 1920 and Evadelle (née Labrie) Jan. 9, 1923, both attending Labrie grade school. Who knew that Albert buying Evadelle some candy from the local store would amount to this? On Nov. 8, 1940 these childhood sweethearts married at St. Joachim Church in Edmonton, Alta. Albert served in the army for three and-a-
1/2 years, with basic training in Victoria, B.C., then stationed in Alaska and overseas. Upon his discharge in Vancouver in 1946, the couple started farming in St. Edouard under the Veterans’ Land Act. They raised a family of nine children there, eventually having 25 grandchildren and 27-1/2 great grandchildren to date. In 1958, Albert became a member of the Alberta Association of Nursing Orderlies and worked in Elk Point, Alta., St. Paul, Alta. and eventually retiring from
Vernon Jubilee Hospital in 1980 after moving to Armstrong, B.C. in 1974. Evadelle was a stayat-home mom, working odd jobs when opportunities arose. She also worked at Vernon Jubilee for a period of time before retiring. They were active members in each community, where they served as school and church trustees, members of the Royal Canadian Legion, Catholic Women’s League and numerous other organizations. They both enjoyed fishing, hunting, camping, playing horseshoes, bridge
and of course spending time with family and friends. A family celebration was held for this milestone anniversary Aug. 1 and 2 at Columbus Court in Vernon, with a delicious dinner and a spectacular evening of entertainment by a special group of local oldtime musicians where
Albert got to play along on his fiddle. A simply fabulous time was had by all. A special thanks to them and to the magnificent caterers. Albert and Evadelle sincerely would like to thank all who were involved in the preparation, and the memories created for this wonderful event.

ONTARIO - “In Flanders fields the poppies blow between the crosses, row on row.” There are special moments all over Canada every year at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. It is a day of national commemoration for the more than 100,000 Canadians who have died in military service. One exceptional place to visit on this important day is the Canadian War Museum, located near downtown Ottawa. With its prize-winning and richly symbolic architecture, this was the city’s most visited museum last year. Designed by architect Raymond Moriyama, every inch of the museum building is purposefully conceived, from the poppies on the grass roof in the spring to the Morse code windows that spell out “lest we forget” in both French and English. On Remembrance Day, the sun shines through the single window in Memorial Hall to illuminate, at exactly 11 a.m., the smooth headstone of the Unknown Soldier. The museum does not glorify war, and though it hints at the horror, it does not overwhelm you with the tragedy. It is a museum that will interest the whole family, where, despite the dramatic context, the exhibits seem to tell the story in manageable pieces. I roam through the galleries in the bunker-like building. Exhibits start with our First Nations history and our new nation’s early struggles, and extend through the world wars, the Cold War and more recent conflicts. Canada’s rich military history is showcased through artifacts, personal stories, artwork, photos and interactive presentations. The LeBreton Gallery houses an impressive collection of war machinery, including a German midget submarine, tanks, support vehicles and a Voodoo Interceptor fighter jet. Each time I have visited this remarkable museum, the only thing I’ve found lacking is time.
canadian war museum/marie-louise deruaZ photo
Visitors to the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa pause before the illuminated headstone of the Unknown Soldier. It is not a place that one tends to rush through, so a couple of hours wandering seem to disappear far too fast. This year the war museum celebrated its 10th anniversary. “Over the past 10 years, we’ve brought stories of courage, sacrifice and sorrow to Canadians, and they have responded with unwavering support,” said Mark O’Neill, president and chief executive officer of the museum. Here on Remembrance Day, when admission is free, a medley of choirs performs music juxtaposed with gun fire. There are also hands-on activities for the younger ones, and veterans are present to put a human face to the history. Special exhibits now include the Home Front, a new permanent exhibit which uses artefacts and new media to engage visitors in a discussion of the First World War’s impact on our country. Just opened, and running until March, is A Time to Serve: Canadian Women and Total War, a look at the enormous contributions made by women to the Canadian war efforts.
In May 2016, Air War will open, exploring Canada’s contributions to new technologies and strategies such as aerial observation, artillery spotting, ground support and the dogfights that contributed significantly to the out-come of both world wars. There are a few other landmarks in our capital that take prominence during Remembrance Day activities. On your visit, don’t miss the National War Memorial, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the resting site of an unidentified Canadian soldier, who had been buried in a cemetery in France during the First World War. There are also two new sites introduced this year in Ottawa. In late summer, a new monument opened near the Supreme Court of Canada entitled Memorial to the Victims of Communism: Canada, a Land of Refuge, and in late fall, the new National Holocaust Monument will be unveiled on a site near the Canadian War Museum.

Cosmetician earns award LiSA VANDERVELDE Morning Star Staff
Her dedication to her customers in the cosmetics department at Hudson’s Bay, as well as her service for customers outside of her department, has garnered Gail Wright national recognition. Wright has been awarded the cosmetics outstanding service award from Cosmetics Magazine. The counter manager for Shiseido and Elizabeth Arden, was nominated by the managers of Hudson’s Bay Vernon, who provided countless examples of her outstanding customer service. “She has got a great personality and she is so friendly and never in a bad mood,” said customer Gena Gryde. An example of her customer service was when she helped an elderly customer find a lipstick, who was fretting over losing the remote control for her new hearing aids. Wright asked her to come in the next day and brought her a lanyard and stitched the remote on to it for the customer. The nomination sheet is full of examples of her willingness to help, whether it is part of her job description or not. “I enjoy knowing my customers, satisfying their needs and making them feel special,” said Wright.

News Refugee meet planned A r m s t r o n g Spallumcheen Refugee Project (ASREP) will hold its second community meeting on Thursday, Nov. 12, in Armstrong at the Pleasant Valley Secondary School auditorium. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. Guest speaker will be Jake Spoor of East Hill Community Church in Vernon. “East Hill’s refugee sponsorship began with the Vietnamese boat people in the 1980s when they welcomed four families to Vernon,” said Ron Brinnen, co-founder of ASREP. “In 2012 the church decided to again sponsor refugees from elsewhere in the world where many people are doomed to spend the rest of their lives in refugee camps.” In 2013, East Hill welcomed a couple from Myanmar. Spoor will outline the process taken to bring these people to Canada, their success here and how they have enriched the greater community. A question-and-answer session will follow Jake’s presentation. ASREP is hoping to bring a Syrian family of six to the community. Other issues that will be dealt with at the meeting include ASREP recognizing Janet Gillis’ PVSS leadership class and Adrenalin Dance Team who took the initiative to organize a bake sale during election day.
They raised more than $1,000. “The ASREP fundraising campaign now begins in earnest,” said Brinnen. “The various ways of donating will be outlined.” A fundraising garage sale, being organized by

Lumby looks to choke idling, budget begins RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Lumby residents will have a say in proposed anti-idling rules. Council has given three readings to a bylaw amendment that would prohibit a vehicle from idling for more than three minutes as a way of reducing pollution. “There will be an opportunity for the public to give feedback before final con-
sideration (by council),” said Mayor Kevin Acton. “We are already getting some input. There are a few people concerned about the elderly going into vehicles not air conditioned or warm enough. But three minutes is enough time for the air conditioner or heat to kick in.” And if the bylaw is adopted, Acton insists the process will be complaint driven and
village staff will not actively be looking for infractions. Failure to comply could result in a $100 fine. Budget process begins The Village of Lumby is starting to work towards a 2016 budget. Council has been presented with staff information on issues to consider as part of the financial plan and the timeline to have
November
the document completed. “There is a suggestion of a tax increase of the consumer price index plus one per cent as a starting point but nothing has been set yet,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. Among the potential components of the budget are subdivision servicing bylaw updates, replacing public works vehicles, master water plan revitalization, work and inflationary salary increases for staff.

DOUG ROGERS Special to The Morning Star
Recent studies have shown that media (TV) and computers have made it more difficult for parents to communicate with their media- savvy kids about potentially dangerous issues like alcohol and drug abuse. Further, the newer forms of media - social networking, texting, etc. have made the job of parenting even more challenging. Social media has clouded our kids’ understanding of substance abuse. Many websites on the internet promote substance abuse and downplay the risks, causing significant confusion for our youth. Young people today gain information regarding drugs and alcohol from their colleagues, often through social media. Much of this information is incomplete, dangerous, or simply not based in fact. Social media does have many benefits for kids and families. Enhanced connectedness is a great benefit. However, the risks are also significant. Some of the potential risks include: bullying, exposure to inappropriate websites, and the promotion of substance abuse. A growing concern is the purchasing of illicit drugs on the internet. Most of the drugs produced offshore are produced in clandestine factories with no government oversight and are shipped directly to our kids. So what can parents do to protect their kids? First of all, parents have an obligation to set boundaries around technology. That is, we must moni-
tor our children’s technology, set clear limits and expectations and then monitor the history of websites visited. Random spot checks are a good way to monitor. Another condition of use is that kids need to obtain your permission before acquiring a social media account. Other simple rules should include using appropriate privacy settings; never provide personal information like phone numbers, home address, location information or posting any inappropriate pictures. Kids and adults should never ‘friend’ unknown people or share passwords. Be mindful that some young people set up secondary accounts to hide things from their parents. Finally, it is always important to remind our kids that anything posted will remain
online forever! Many companies will search social media accounts as part of their hiring process and things posted online in youth may come back to negatively impact them in the future. Remember, regu-
larly talk to your kids about drugs and alcohol and set clear boundaries and expectations. Doug Rogers is the Substance Abuse Prevention Counsellor for the Vernon School District

Cara Brady Morning Star Staff
It was the summer of 1939. Some people feared war was inevitable. Others could never have imagined how their lives and the world would change over the years to come. Nicholas Rety was a school boy in Budapest, Hungary. His thoughts were on studies, sports and the pleasures of summer camp at Lake Balaton. He writes about his experiences and those of other civilians who endured the German, then the Russian occupations of their city and Communist government when the war ended, in his newly published book, No Return Ticket. “The 1930s Depression hit Hungary as hard as it hit Canada but our family got by,” said Rety, who was born in 1930. His father worked for the telephone system and his mother was a Morse code transcriber for telegrams. They heard by radio and people talking about what was happening in Germany. Rety remembers hearing Hitler’s speeches on the radio and sensing the anger and hatred although he did not understand German and was too young at the time to understand politics. “People knew that Hitler was intent on war because he was trying out new weapons in the Spanish Civil War. That caused a lot of anxiety in Europe,” he said. Hungary, which was part of the AustroHungarian Empire, had been on the German side in the First World War. The Paris peace treaties of 1919 left Hungary an independent country but took away 60 per cent of its former territory and access to the Adriatic Sea. In 1939, Hungary took the German side because of the promise of restoration of the lost territory and Hungarians served with the German army. For the first years of the war, things went on more or less as normal in Hungary. Rety remembers when he first became aware of the reality of war, although he knew that Hungarian soldiers had been annihilated in the Russian campaign. “I was 13. It was 1943 and the Allies were advancing up Italy. They bombed Monte Casino Abbey, which was Benedictine, and our school was run by Benedictine monks. It brought home to us that there were bad things coming. I heard that at camp at Lake Balaton. Every Hungarian has a soft spot for the lake as a place of warm beaches and endless joy,” he said. “We lived in an apartment building with a number of Jews and they were our friends. Then in March of 1944, they were gone overnight. We were told the Jews were being resettled. There was no way to find out

The longtime urologist in Vernon, now retired, has just published his memoir, No Return Ticket. what was happening. Radio and newspapers were censored. Jews and anyone against the regime were being deported. Many Hungarian Jews did not believe it when they first heard about the Holocaust until survivors came back and told what happened.” By this time, the Germans knew that many Hungarians did not want to fight their war anymore but there was still an element in Hungary which sympathized with the Nazis. Rety will never forget March 19, 1944. “I woke up that morning. Our apartment faced west and I could see and hear the Junker 52 planes coming. Within a few hours, there were Germans everywhere in the city. The Germans had bombed the city before but blamed it on the Allies. After the German occupation, the city was bombed by the Allies constantly, the U.S. by day and the Russians by night. Our apartment building was hit, leaving us with no windows. By Dec. 24, 1944, the city was ringed by Russians shelling us constantly.” People sought safety in air raid shelters which were really only old cellars, and offered no protection from direct hits. Martial law and a curfew meant that anyone on the streets after 5 p.m. was shot with no questions asked. “I saw my first Russian Jan. 14, 1945. Until the Russians came, the city was functioning minimally. People attempted to carry on until it became impossible. School stopped then. Much of the city was destroyed and the bridges across the Danube between Buda and Pest were blown up. People became isolated because it was dangerous to be on the street

at any time of day. The Russians were fighting the Germans street by street, house by house. I had a mortar explode 20 feet from me one day when I went out to get water. “In a way, to a young person, it was quite exciting. It was adventure. We had little entertainment and we became used to it. You sat under a few air raids and died inwardly a few times and you were still there. It’s not that you become brave but you become fatalistic. The bullet that you hear will not hit you. It has gone past you.” There were food shortages, with people hoarding what they had and those who had more selling it at high prices. Many people traded priceless family jewelry for a few beans. “The law was that of the man with the gun but you have only so much to part with. I somehow found a book and learned some Russian so I could speak with them and after that they treated me a little better,” said Rety. One experience Rety will never forget: one day, when he feared that his mother was about to become a victim of violence, he stood between her and the Russian attacker, who was ready to kill him. “The metallic sound of a bullet being put in a chamber to finish you off has a particular impact on your memory,” he recalled. He managed to create a diversion and he and his mother escaped into the night. By this time, there were about 40,000 German soldiers holed up in the castle on the hill and they were running out of food. On Feb. 14, 1945, they made a break, coming down the hill to be killed or captured by the Russians.
A few escaped to the surrounding countryside. The siege ended but the Russians stayed on. When the war in Europe ended May 8, 1945, the Russians stayed on as the occupying force and started to enforce a Communist regime. Rety went back to school: “I guess they thought Benedictines are not going to educate good Communists.” The Benedictine monks somehow arranged for Rety to get a scholarship to finish his studies at a school in England and in 1947 he left hurriedly, not seeing his family again for 31 years. “It was a difficult thing but I won the lottery of life with that move.” He learned English quickly and did well in his studies, then moved to London to work at a variety of jobs. When he decided that he wanted to become a doctor, he had to pick up his science courses at night school to qualify for university entrance. After he completed his medical studies, he felt there was little chance for advancement in England as he was not allowed to choose where to live and practise. The Canadian Army had a shortage of doctors and Rety joined as a Captain, medical officer, Lord Strathcona’s Horse. A long and interesting life followed and he tells about it in his book. The book, with its vivid and highly readable style, owes its beginning to the stories he told his family. They urged him to write them down and he did. No Return Ticket is told as a series of stories that can be read individually in any order or chronologically to make up a whole. No Return Ticket is available at Cole’s.

T
he Testament of Youth was a Vernon Film Society offering at the wonderful Towne Theatre and was a timely movie to see the week before Remembrance Day. It is a story that takes place during the First World War. The story is of the coming of age of four young people, three men and a woman. The young woman is the author of the story. She is young, determined and passionate. There is her brother, and his two friends, one who becomes her love, and all the young men join the armed services and go to battle. Interesting reflection in that she wanted to go to Oxford University and her father didn’t want to waste his money on an education when she was to get a husband. She did go to Oxford and that was 1915. This week our new prime minister formed a gender equal Cabinet, “because it is 2015.” Many struggles along the way to get there. The movie trailer describes A Testament of Youth as “a story of young love, about the futility of war and how to make sense of the darkest times.” I won’t go into more detail here as I hope you will watch it if you get the

opportunity to see the sides of war. The First World War “was the war to end all wars.” Young men joined up, excited about the adventure, and then they went to war and the reality was horrible. On Nov. 11 we honour the end of that war, and many others since. Millions of men and women have died in battle. And still we have wars. I believe we must remember and honour all those who have fought for the freedoms we enjoy. My parents, like many others in our community, experienced the Second World War. My father had a medical condition, a hole in his heart, which kept him out of the armed services and instead he worked in a factory and built fighter aircraft. An older brother of his was killed and friends he grew up with, such sadness in his eyes if and when he spoke of them. My mother was in the Air Force and told
us about life on the base. As a teenager I wore her Air Force jacket. She had some funny stories of being one of eight women on a base with hundreds of men so you had a date for breakfast, a different one at coffee, a fresh one for lunch and dinner! She had orders to go overseas but a few hours before she was to go they were changed. My mom came from a small town near Windsor, Ont. and nearly all her male child hood friends died. They were just boys, she would say. My mom had four sons and two daughters and many times she would say she was glad there was no war for us to go to. Many Canadian young men and women in our Armed Forces still go to battle today; although I think the
intention is often peacekeeping unfortunately many do die, others are wounded and left with the mental scars of war and what they experienced. Whatever side you fight on, the grief is the same. Family of friends and foes grieve the death of their children, husbands, wives and friends; we all bleed the same. I believe that there are millions who want peace and there are many that don’t. How much blood, how many lives, how much pain before another way will be found to resolve conflicts or will it just be one day one horrible bomb that destroys us all. War has changed so much over the years, but the constant of death and pain are always there. “There must be peace in the nations. If

there is to be peace in the nations,There must be peace in the cities. If there is to be peace in the cities,There must be peace between neighbors. If there is to be peace between neighbors, There must be peace in the home. If there is to be peace in the home, There must be peace in the heart. — Lao Tzu. On Remembrance Day, wear a poppy, listen to the haunting sounds of the bagpipes and try to imagine the sacrifices so many have made so that here in our community we can live in peace. Watch the films, read the books, listen to the stories. Lest we forget.

feature event: pack a gift-filled shoebox for a child overseas this christmas
S
hare hope with children overseas through giftfilled shoeboxes this month! Now is the season to pass on love and hope to hurting children around the world. Operation Christmas Child (a project of Samaritan’s Purse) brings joy and hope to children in desperate circumstances through giftfilled shoeboxes. Pack a shoebox with school supplies, hygiene items, toys and a suggested $7 donation for shipping and other project-related costs. Last year more than 700,000 shoeboxes were sent to children in the developing world by Canadians. Each one impacted a child’s life. For example, in the region of Sis Cuyo, in Guatemala, a little girl named Alison opened her shoebox to find a pair of long socks for her school uniform. These meant that she would no longer get blisters on her feet from her daily walk to school. Collection of packed shoebox gifts ends Sunday, Nov. 22. Collection centres and hours can be found on www.samaritanspurse.ca/occ. For info., call Michael Buffie at 250-938-2222.

Getting to know: Les Copeland Aniko Forgo
L
Special to The Morning Star
es Copeland needs little introduction. A respected guitarist, he’s been a musical mainstay on the Vernon scene for more than two decades. Not only has he promoted and accompanied countless gigs in town by some of the biggest blues names on the scene, he has toured North America and overseas with the late Delta blues legend David “Honeyboy” Edwards. Copeland has headed his own bands, including the Les Copeland Blues Band and The Red Hot Ramblers, and is also a solo artist. He can be found every week performing with bassist Cameron Ward at Bourbon Street Bar and Grill in Vernon’s Prestige Hotel. Q: What was it that made you decide to pursue a music career? LC: “I hated school. I hated the idea of having to listen to a boss. I could not fathom living my one and only life serving others. But I always loved music. I was born in 1959 and thought the hippies were great. I loved the freedom of any musician who was naturally gifted and pursued it for themselves and not for the showbiz angle.” Q: What has your music taught you about yourself? LC: “I am very selfish and don’t compromise much. I was very young and naive when I started playing guitar. If I would master a difficult and beautiful classical guitar piece and play it for an informal family gathering with some guests, usually somebody would interrupt me and suggest I play a favourite song of the day for them. I was very intense about the music that I loved to play from the start. I was very sensitive and my feelings got hurt very easily regarding my music. I am the same way at present, although it has caused me problems on many an occasion.” Q: Who has been the biggest influence in your life? LC: “My mom, dad, sister, grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins. Primarily my mom and dad. My mother is a self-taught pianist who played in churches, legions, family gatherings and so forth. My mother plays all of
lescopeland.com
Vernon guitarist Les Copeland has always played guitar. He is schooled in most styles and can improvise anything. the hymns with the lush harmonies and wicked stride piano in, I would say, a Fats Waller style. She has an excellent ear. My father also has an excellent ear for music as well as excellent taste, although (he) does not play an instrument. My parents turned me on to people like Johnny Mathis, Nat King Cole, Andres Segovia, Carlos Montoya, and the list goes on. My mom and dad would drive me hundreds of miles sometimes to see these people perform. They were wonderful, and have always backed me up. They still do. Through my life they have always been my strongest support. So has my older sister, Cheryl. She turned me onto all kinds of very cool popular music like James Taylor, Carole King, Joe Cocker and so forth. When I was six-years-old, my mom gave me a little pink transistor radio. We were inseparable. I heard Baby Love on that radio! That was about 1965!” Q: If you could go back in time and give advice to your younger self, what would that advice be?
LC: I would not have any advice. I love my life. I could not enhance it. It is so good! Q: Do you remember the first time you set foot in a recording studio? What was that experience like? LC: “Exciting in the fact that it was a new experience. On the other hand, fairly drab. I prefer to play music live for people. Nowadays, I enjoy recording music for loved ones or with my musician pals or as a business project for Earwig Music out of Chicago for Michael Frank.” Q: You’ve been able to tour in quite a few amazing places. Can you name some of the ones that have been highlights for you? LC: “Norway, Toronto, Chicago, Wales, London (U.K.), Coventry, Norwich, Leeds, Sheffield, Velden (Austria), Kitchener (Ontario), Vancouver, and especially Venice (Italy). Oh yeah,Vernon, B.C.” Q: How would you describe your music to others who haven’t heard it before? LC: “I have no idea! I guess I would say
Please support the REALTOR®’s 38th Annual
I play guitar!” Q: What was the experience of touring with the late blues music legend Honeyboy Edwards like for you? LC: “It was a dream come true. Even though Honeyboy has been gone for a few years now, I still feel like I am living in a dream in respect to the years of friendship we had. He took me out of Vernon to the wildest places. I have been very fortunate. I miss that old bluesman every day, but it always makes me smile when my thoughts are on Honeyboy. I loved him. Honeyboy was my friend, working partner, my traveling companion, teacher and guru. He is also my beautiful daughter Lonnie’s godfather. I think my daughter, Harmony, should also be included as she loved him too. We adopted him.” Q: Tell us a bit about your 2010 debut album Don’t Let The Devil In. LC: “Recording Don’t Let The Devil In was a labour of love between myself, Michael Frank and Honeyboy. I will forever be in debt to Michael who produced this CD. I will always be so proud to have Honeyboy in the studio backing me on guitar. Michael played some sweet harmonica as well! There was nothing drab about that. Nobody or nothing can take that away from me. Other than my children, that was one of the greatest highlights in my life. On Sept. 18, 2015, Michael released my second CD on Earwig Records. We recorded it here in Vernon at Greg Wenger’s studio. Greg is awesome. He is part of the family. His recording studio is on the corner of 27th Street and 43rd Avenue. Cathy Ann Wells sang beautiful harmony on one track and a young woman from New York named Sari sang beautiful harmonies on two tracks. Everything else is just me. The CD is titled To Be In Your Company and is dedicated to David Honeyboy Edwards.” Q: Where do you see yourself 10 years from now? LC: “Hopefully not in the boneyard!” Ed note: Copeland is holding a release party for his new album, To Be In Your Company, Saturday, Nov. 14 at Lorenzo’s Café in Ashton Creek, east of Enderby. Call 250-838-6700 to reserve a seat.

Time to buy art at Under 100 Morning Star Staff
It’s that time of year again and the Lake Country Art Gallery is busy working on its sixth annual Under 100 exhibition. This year’s exhibition promises once again to be an impressive display of original art work from more than 60 Okanagan artists. Art work in all mediums will be on exhibit, small works under 100 square inches are priced under $100 and a selection of art works under 200 and 300 square inches will be priced under $200 and $300 accordingly. “In the last few years, we’ve had people waiting at our door before the show had even officially opened,” said gallery manager Petrina McNeill. “Some have even offered to buy work even before we’ve hung it.” This year, the gallery is holding an exclusive preview event, Nov. 21 from 3 to 6 p.m. “This is an opportunity to purchase your favourite pieces before the exhibition opens to the public,”
said McNeil. Attendees to the Under 100 exclusive preview will also have the opportunity to purchase additional first buy tickets for $2 each up until a draw at 4 p.m. “The draw will be fast paced,” said McNeill. “Each first buy ticket holder drawn will only have three minutes to claim his or her artwork. If a piece has not been chosen in that time, another ticket will be drawn until all 10 first buy ticket spots have been filled. Once the first 10 purchases have been made, other attendees will be welcome to purchase work as well.” Tickets for the exclusive preview event are $10 per person and include one first buyer ticket. Only 40 first buyer tickets will be available. Call or e-mail the gallery at (250) 766 -1299 or lakecountryartgallery@shaw.ca to purchase. All proceeds from Under 100 go to the artists and to support the Lake Country Art Gallery. Under 100 will be open to the public Nov. 22.
Local potters join Kelowna show Okanagan potters once again have their hands on the wheel for their annual Christmas
show. The time has come to find incredible gifts at the annual event
showcasing some of the Okanagan’s best potters and artisans, including Vernon’s Laurel Fredin, Grindrod’s Stephen Plant and Rebecca and Penny Shepherd of Salmon Arm. “The Okanagan Potters Association has been bringing quality functional and decorative work to the public for over 48 years,” said member potter Elaine Hughes-Games. “We are happy to answer all your questions about our creative process.” The show takes place Nov. 14 and 15 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days at Okanagan Mission Community Hall, 4409 Lakeshore Rd., Kelowna (at Dehart Road). Admission and parking are free. Visit www.okanaganpotters.ca for more info.

Arden tour announced for Vernon Morning Star Staff
Celebrated multiplatinum, award winning artist Jann Arden is coming to the North Okanagan this spring. Her Almost Everything tour arrives at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre March 19 at 7:30 p.m. “We are very excited to bring an artist of this calibre to an intimate theatre setting, right across the province of B.C.” said F.J. Hurtak, president of the Kootenay Concert Connection. “It will be one very special night for the entire audience because Jann Arden is a Canadian original and a brilliant multi-dimensional talent.” The Calgary-born s i n g e r - s o n g w r i t e r, broadcaster and author catapulted onto the Canadian music scene in 1993 with the release of her debut album Time for Mercy, featuring the hit single I Would Die For You. A year later with her sophomore album, Living Under June, Arden had a career breakout hit with Insensitive, which solidified her position in the music world. Arden has released 12 albums with 19 top 10 singles to her credit. Her most recent recording, Everything Almost, was released in 2014. With Grammy award winning producer Bob Rock behind the console, the 11-track disc is considered to be Arden’s finest work yet. Recently, she released a much anticipated Christmas album, just in time for the holiday season. In her career to date, Arden has received eight Juno awards, including Female Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year. She is also the recipient of 10 SOCAN awards, four Western Canada Music Awards, a Much Music Video Award, three Prairie Music Awards and an Alberta Recording Industry Association Award. Arden is the proud recipient of a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame; she has been inducted into the Canadian Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame, and has been given the Vantage Women of Originality Award.
Jann Arden In 2012, she was awarded the Queens Diamond Jubilee medal and in 2013 was inducted into the Western Canadian Music Alliance Hall of Fame. In addition to being a singer/songwriter, Arden has written three books: If I Knew, Don’t You Think I’d Tell You; I’ll Tell You One Damn Thing, That’s All I Know, and her bestselling memoir, Falling Backwards Arden is also a much in-demand speaker, peppering her words of wis-
dom with her signature humour. In 2010, she took on broadcast duties as the host of Being Jann, an hour-long talk show on CBC Radio, and in 2011 she sat in the judge’s chair for Canada Sings on Global TV. She has also made several appearances on TV sitcoms and talk shows including Corner Gas, Ellen, and The Rick Mercer Report. Arden’s philanthropic work has included World Vision and she has performed at Live 8 and MAC Cosmetics Fashion Cares AIDS benefit. Tickets for Arden’s concert in Vernon go on sale Friday, Nov. 13 at the Ticket Seller box office in the Performing Arts Centre. Call 250-5497469 or order online at www.ticketseller.ca. All seats are priced at $82.50.

HEALTH TIP SAM NOLAN
brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist
World Diabetes Day is held every year on November 14. This year’s focus is the importance of starting the day with a healthy breakfast. It will improve your concentration, mental performance and your mood. Make a good breakfast part of your day, every day. (Also, skipping breakfast will not help you lose weight). Research on e-cigarettes is lacking when we try to see whether the ingredients when burnt are harmful to the body and longterm-use problems are yet to be determined. Then there is still the possibility of nicotine addiction. Let’s hope the dangers of e-cigarettes are known more quickly than those of tobacco. It’s a difficult job to determine which strains of flu virus to include in each year’s flu vaccine. Decisions were made as early as February about the content of the vaccine for 201516. Last year’s vaccine was not the best match however for this flu season, the vaccine will contain strains that will give recipients much better protection. It’s important that we all get a flu shot each year. Are you going to? Grapefruit juice contains substances that can inactivate enzymes involved in the breakdown of certain drugs in the body. When that happens, it can result in higher levels of the drug which can lead to side effects. Our pharmacists will tell you when this might be a problem. Counselling our customers on the proper use of their medications is a major part of our job as your pharmacist. It’s a job we take seriously. We are happy to answer all your questions about your medications.

Arts China has a view of the North Okanagan through local art Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
Some striking scenery of the North Okanagan has shown up at an international group art exhibition in China. Cherryville’s Gary Whitley and Vernon’s Michael Jell are two of 12 B.C. Federation of Canadian Artists (FCA) members who are currently showing their work in the Pacific Rim Arts Exchange Show in Tianjin, China. “I have had my work shown in Canada and the U.S., and now it’s in China. It’s an opportunity to showcase my work internationally,” said Jell. The artists’ work was purchased and then shipped over to China to be displayed in a 5,000-square metre ground floor hall in the city’s 15,000 square-metre Art and Technology Museum. “The show consisted of more than 100 paintings and was sold out before it opened,” said Mila Kostic, Vancouver Art Fair Director, who arranged the B.C. exchange. The work sent to China was accompanied by a letter from B.C. Premier Christy Clark. The show opened Sept. 20 and was attended by 300 invited guests, including numerous Chinese dignitaries, and will continue until the end of the year. Included in the exhibition are nine of Whitley’s paintings, which show mostly local valley scenes including Duteau Creek, Echo Lake, McIntire Lake and the Monashee Mountains. A professional artist for more than 35 years, Whitley is an associate member of the Oil Painters of America, an associate signature member of the FCA, and an elected member of the Society of Canadian Artists. Although his subject matter varies greatly, Whitley says he has a particular interest in painting florals and landscapes. “For me, painting is an obsession,” he said. “Many of my landscapes are of the area, however, some are derived from long hours on horseback

north okanagan artists Gary Whitley, left, and mike Jell join 12 members of the B.C. Federation of Canadian artists in showing their work in tianjin, China. Visitors, right, enter the 15,000 square-metre art and technology museum in tianjin. in remote high-elevation back country that few people have the opportunity to see. “My wife and I spend considerable time riding in the summer, all over B.C. and Alberta. My florals are a result of the extensive flower garden she has created. I also paint subject matter that I simply find interesting.” Having grown up in Southern Rhodesia (the Southern African nation now known as Zimbabwe), Jell’s interests in the outdoors have
led him to paint ranch life as well as wildlife and landscapes since moving to Canada more than 35 years ago. A longtime resident of Vernon, many of Jell’s paintings – done in oils and acrylics – depict Okanagan scenery. “I sent a lot of paintings of scenes from around the country for selection and, funny enough, they picked all the ones from the North Okanagan,” said Jell, about his works that were selected for China. “I
have six paintings in the show that feature scenes from Kal Lake, Bolean Lake and elsewhere from this region.” Jell has also donated artwork to numerous local fundraisers and non-profits including the North Okanagan Community Life Society, O’Keefe Ranch, Allan Brooks Nature Centre, and Ducks Unlimited. In 2012, the B.C. Wildlife Federation named him the Artist of the Year for his painting of a great gray owl.

Bridge by Phillip Alder THE DANGER HAND IS THE DANGER Pierre Corneille, a 17thcentury French dramatist and poet, said, “We triumph without glory when we conquer without danger.” Not at the bridge table we much prefer to triumph without there having been any danger to our contract. In this deal, for example, how should South play in four hearts after West leads the diamond king? South starts with nine top tricks: one spade, seven hearts and one diamond. If East has the club ace, there will be no problems, but the bidding strongly suggests West will hold that card, and if so, declarer is in danger of losing one spade and three clubs. If West does have the
club ace, unless West leads a club himself, South will need to get two spade tricks ... and without letting East, the danger hand, on lead. If South wins the first trick, draws trumps, and attacks spades, East will get in with his king and shift to the club queen. The secret is not to take the first trick. Declarer wins trick two with dummy’s diamond ace and discards a spade. He draws trumps, leads his last spade to dummy’s ace, then runs the spade jack, discarding a club if East plays low. When West takes the trick, he is endplayed. A spade return sets up a winner; a diamond lead concedes a ruff-andsluff; and a club play is away from the ace. Or, if East covers the spade
jack, South ruffs, crosses to dummy with a trump, and runs the spade 10, pitching a club from his hand, for the same endplay. This deal would defeat many declarers because they would win trick one, then stop to think. Take your time after the dummy appears.

In Memoriam
In Memoriam Thought I saw you in a crowd He walked like you His stance was proud
Betty Ann Barr (nee Turanski) Our Sovereign God, the Lord Jesus Christ, released Betty from her ALS stricken body on October 21st, 2015. The wretched disease stole her voice and muscle strength over the past fifteen months. However, ALS never robbed Betty of her beautiful smile, bright eyes and her strong God given spirit and faith. She was able to be at home until her departure to her heavenly home and Betty finished her race well! Our God reigns.
Betty enjoyed many hobbies and she liked to travel. Two major holidays she enjoyed were going to France and climbing the Eiffel Tower and the Alaska Cruise. Cremation preceded the Funeral Service which will be held at Grace Bible Church, 5661 Silver Star Road, on Thursday, November 12th, 2015 at 10:30 A.M. with Pastors Pat Stich and Larry Woelke officiating. As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donations in memory of Betty to the Gideon Memorial Bible Plan, P.O. Box 3619. Stn Main, Guelph, Ontario N1H 9Z9 or the ALS Society of B.C., #119-1600 West 6th Avenue, Vancouver, B.C. V6J 1R3. We, Bettyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family want to thank the many people who assisted us on this journey. To both Bob and Bettyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family, thank you all for your love and support. Thank you to our family at the Grace Bible Church, to the Interior Health Teams 3&4, Shelly, Deanna and Aidan who in so many ways were there to help Betty â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she gave you all a big thumbs up! We would also like to thank Dr. Vincent who was sweet beyond the call of duty for Betty, Dr. Wessels, her Dentist, who provided special care for Betty, and BCITS, who came and set up the breathing equipment which assisted Bettyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breathing. Last but definitely not least, a great big thank you to the ALS Society in Richmond, B.C. for all the support they gave to us and what they did in making Bettyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life as comfortable as possible. It was a difficult road to travel the past fifteen months, and without all these awesome people the journey would have been a lot more difficult. We praise our God for all of you who assisted us and He was faithful in providing us with his grace to meet the daily challenges. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

The BC SPCA is excited to announce that the organization is set to adopt its one millionth animal later this month. In celebration, anyone who has adopted animals from the BC SPCA over the past six decades are invited to post photos of themselves with their adopted pet (or a picture of the pet on its own) on the BC SPCA Facebook page (www.facebook.com/bcspca). Posting a photo will automatically enter you to win a new iPad Air, generously donated by TELUS, and using the hashtag #oneinamillion shows you’re a proud BC SPCA adoptive parent, whether past or present. Everyone is invited to visit the Facebook photo gallery to view pictures of adopters and adoptees – what the organization is playfully referring to as BC SPCA alumni – over the past 60-odd years. “This is the BC SPCA’s 120th year in operation but the society didn’t start its adoption program until the 1950s when it began building animal shelters across the province,” said general manager of community relations, Lorie Chortyk. “We are very excited that we will be adopting out our one millionth animal this month, but we also want to recognize and honour the 999,999 other people who provided wonderful, loving homes for the animals we’ve rescued over the past decades.” While this celebration is in recognition of past adoptees, there are hundreds more beautiful animals awaiting adoption in the province right now. With more than 28,000 animals taken into BC SPCA care each year, there are always furry friends waiting for their forever homes. To enter the #oneinamillion photo contest, simply go to the BC SPCA Facebook page between now and Nov. 20 and click on the ‘photo contest’ tab near the top. Follow the steps to upload a picture of the animal you adopted from the BC SPCA or better yet, of you and the animal you adopted.

B.C. judges win raise case TOM FLETCHER Black Press
One group of employees that escaped the B.C. government’s caps on pay increases is the 155 provincial court judges. The judges’ asso-
ciation has won a court challenge of a 1.5 per cent raise approved by the B.C. government for the fiscal year ended in March 2014. The Supreme Court of Canada refused to hear the government’s appeal
of an earlier decision to make the raise 4.9 per cent, plus an increase of the judges’ pension accrual rate from three to 3.5 per cent. The cost of the retroactive raise is estimated at $2.67 million for that
TOWNSHIP OF SPALLUMCHEEN ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 1896, 2015 AND LAND USE CONTRACT AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 1902, 2015 Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 1896 proposes to rezone a 0.35 ha portion of the property legally described as Lot 1, Sec 35, Twp 8, ODYD, Plan EPP54617 from the Agricultural (A.2) zone to the General Industrial (I.2) zone. Bylaw No. 1902 proposes to discharge the Township of Spallumcheen Land Use Contract Bylaw No. 817, 1976 from the title of the subject property. The Agricultural (A.2) zone and Bylaw No. 817 permits the subject 0.35 ha portion of the property to be used for agricultural and taxidermy related services. Adoption of the subject Bylaws would permit the (A.2) zoned portion of the property to be used for industrial purposes along with the remainder of the property which is currently zoned General Industrial (I.2) and is proposed to be used for heavy equipment sales and servicing and associated office uses.

year alone. It remains to be seen if the judges will challenge the one per cent increase approved for 2014-15, which brought their salaries to $236,950. “This will have an impact on our fiscal plan,” Justice Minister Suzanne Anton told reporters. “And as you know government has been in an environment of balancing the budget, and part of our philosophy on that is that provincial court judges’ salaries should generally fit into the same pattern that public service salaries fit into.” Starting in 2013, the province negotiated five-year contracts with health care, social services and other unions with raises between one and 1.5 per cent per year. Finance Minister Mike de Jong introduced the concept of “growth sharing” to achieve longer labour settlements, with additional raises paid in years when growth of the provincial economy exceeds independent forecasts. The judges’ association lost its initial challenge of the 201314 raise, when B.C. Supreme Court Justice John Savage noted provincial court judges’ salaries had risen 45 per cent in a decade, from $161,250 per year in 2004 to $234,600 in 2013.

Parents, advocates for the disabled and even the opposition critic applauded the B.C. government’s move to increase financial independence for people receiving disability assistance payments. Social Development Minister Michelle Stilwell has announced that effective Dec. 1, recipients will be able to receive financial gifts and inheritances of up to $100,000 without affecting their monthly payments. The current lifetime limit is $5,000 per person, after which assistance payments are reduced. Stilwell said the change affects 96,000 people in B.C. who receive disability assistance. “It’s available to all those individuals, and of course it would depend on their personal situations, their family support, friend support, whether they’re working or not working,” Stilwell said. “And those are definitely changes that we’re trying to encourage as well, to help individuals to get into the workforce, so they can create opportunities for themselves to earn and to save.” The government previously raised the earned income exemption so people can earn up to $9,600 a year without reduction of their disability assistance, and has encouraged B.C. businesses to hire disabled people. James Ho, a member of the minister’s council on employment and accessibility, called the gift and inheritance policy “a quantum leap forward” for disabled people like his son. Kathy Bromley, a disability advocate whose daughter attends Simon Fraser University, struggled to control her emotions at a ceremony at the B.C. legislature announcing the change Nov. 5. “Just because Shannon was born with a disability and needs help to brush her teeth and put her coat on … she needs to have a good
