Two current downtown Vernon two-way streets could be changed to one-way only. City of Vernon staff received council approval in principle to change 28th and 29th Avenues, between 29th and 30t h Streets, to oneway roads as part of a major 2016 capital Amanda Watson road project. “The proposed changes would allow traffic and parking management on 28th and 29th Avenues to introduce a one-way couplet to enable the implementation of angled parking,” wrote city transportation engineer Amanda Watson in a report to council. Under the proposed changes, traffic on 28th Avenues would flow east-to-west and vehicles on 29th Avenue would move west-to-east. “There are currently 48 (parking) stalls in this area and, with these proposed changes, there would be 49 stalls,” said Watson. The changes were first introduced, and agreed to by the council of the day, in 2010. While giving its approval in principle, the current council also directed staff to seek adjacent properties and public input on the changes. Staff must also consult with the Downtown Vernon Association board, and the city’s transportation and advisory planning committees, in regards to the proposal.

Donation lights up Canada Day But event could fail to fly if no volunteers step up to organize ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

The City of Vernon will contribute financially to Canada Day festivities and fireworks. But they will not organize the events. Council has committed $10,000 for 2016, 2017 and 2018 to a fireworks committee – if one is resurrected – and doubled its donation toward Canada Day festivities in Polson Park to $2,000 as well as maintaining its historic

level of in-kind support for the activities. “It’s never been a council job to put on Canada Day festivities,” said Vernon Mayor Akbal Mund. “People seem to think it’s on us to do that.” Council voted to invite interest from the community to organize Canada Day activities Akbal Mund and/or a fireworks display. Canada Day activities in the park went on, as usual, in July, but the person organizing it wants to retire.

Fireworks were cancelled this year because there were no organizers for the event. There had been a local fireworks committee in place for many years prior to 2015. “The biggest problem is there are no volunteers stepping up to the plate to help,” said Mund, who said former committee members are still willing to help. “We had hundreds of people complaining (about no fireworks) so the city put out a request and said, ‘come out, here’s your opportunity. Instead of sitting back and complaining, help Vernon proceed with the festivities and fireworks.’”

Safety tops budget list

Public safety and towing the line fiscally are top priorities in the City of Vernon’s proposed five-year financial plan. Council was presented with the 2016-2020 city financial plan prior to in-depth budget deliberations slated for Dec. 2-4. “The real challenge is to accomplish sound community planning and building a liveable and enviable city in a spectacular setting while keeping taxes reasonable and being fiscally responsible,” said chief administrative officer Will Pearce. “The 2016 budget is one of restraint, is responsible, is based on council’s strategic Will Pearce deliverables and has a focus on enhancing public safety.” The day-to-day operating budget must be held to a proposed increased 1.8 per cent or less and the budget is to include a 1.9 per cent tax levy to be directed to investment in rebuilding city infrastructure. Included within the 2016-2020 financial plan is a proposal to add two RCMP officers to the Vernon complement — raising the officer count from 48 to 50 — as well as public safety enhancements that include Polson Park security patrols and parkade security cameras. Pearce highlighted council’s direction to exceed municipal fundamental responsibilities of road maintenance, water supply, solid waste management and public safety. “Caring, modern municipalities reach beyond fundamentals,” said Pearce. “The City of Vernon is well-known and respected for its efforts to provide assistance to those most in need, to encourage and support the provision of accessible housing, to work with our many dedicated agencies to provide key support services, to work with investors and developers to deliver affordable homes in attractive neighbourhoods, to encourage healthy lifestyles through active living and to welcome new residents to our collective home.” Council will now review the proposed budget, and detailed reports will be provided to council at special budget meetings Dec. 2-4. All meetings are open to the public and held in council chambers at city hall. The 2016-2020 financial plan can be viewed online on the city’s website.

Ve r n o n - N o r t h Okanagan RCMP traffic officers will be focusing on speed in November as driving conditions begin to deteriorate, especially in the late-evening and morning hours. Extra shifts for North Okanagan Traffic Services members have been scheduled for enforcement this month. “Lower temperatures increase the chance of black ice and slippery conditions while heavy fog reduces visibility,” said Sgt. Dave Bell with NOTS. “Drivers need to slow down and exercise extra caution under these typical winter conditions.” Police will also be checking to ensure that drivers have proper winter tires, particularly if a collision has resulted where speed and weather play a role.”

Seniors care facility on track ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

A proposed large seniors care facility in downtown is an exciting opportunity, according to Minda Chittenden. A gerontologist and kinesiologist with Vernon-based Meridian Rehabilitation Consulting Inc., Chittenden spoke in favour of a plan to build a downtown seniors care facility on 29th Avenue in the Bennett parking lot, located a block over from Meridian Rehabilitation. “I do private rehab for people that are in care homes in the community, injured in car accidents, have dementia or other aging issues,” said Chittenden to Vernon council on Monday. “It’s exciting to hear of some willingness to put in a facility downtown. So many of our clients and so many people as they age have no opportunity anymore to get to shopping on their own. “I really do feel sorry for family members and individuals that can no longer get to anything downtown.”

“It’s exciting to hear of some willingness to put in a facility downtown.” — Minda Chittenden

Council was reviewing a development variance permit application submitted by Kamloopsbased Tri-City Canada Inc. to develop the lot, and construct a large seniors care facility. Phase 1 of the proposed project on the half-a-city-block space is comprised of 90 residential care beds, 52 assisted living units and 3,500 square feet of commercial space. Phase 2 would see 72 senior’s apartments/condos and Phase 3 would see another 36 assisted living units constructed along with 4,800 square feet of commercial space. “This project started in response to a request for proposals from Interior Health earlier this year,” said Craig Broderick, economic development planner with the city. “There was quite a

bit of interest from the development community to provide 85 care beds within the City of Vernon, though it didn’t stipulate downtown or rural.” Broderick said several proposals were submitted to IHA, and reviewed over the summer, with Interior Health deciding to work with Tri-City on the Bennett lot proposal. “We submitted on this RFP two locations in Vernon and two in Kelowna,” said Casey VanDongen, owner/ president of Tri City Canada Inc. “Interior Health came back and said they really wanted us to do the downtown project.” The other Vernon location Tri City submitted was on a fiveacre rural parcel on Deleenheen Road behind Walmart. The downtown

location was preferred because of its access to the City of Vernon bus exchange. Because of that factor, less parking is required on the 29th Avenue site. Vernon council unanimously supported the variance application dealing with zoning bylaw regulations related to required parking, upper floor setbacks, shadow regulations, private open space requirements, road right of way setbacks and road work requirements.

The leadership has stepped forward on at least two fronts, now it’s the respective communities turn to respond. The congregation at Vernon’s Trinity United Church has decided to sponsor a family to do its part in the global refugee crisis, just as the Armstrong Spallumcheen Refugee Project had earlier done the same. “We have been moved by the magnitude of the crisis that has engulfed individuals, families and entire nations,” said Trinity’s Marilyn Erdmann. “Members of the congregation are mobilized to The technology study, Emerging do their part but we can’t do it Technologies, Evolving Education, was conducted by The Learning Partnership over a alone.” year, examining the impact of technology on The commitment is for one year, teaching and learning in the classroom.

Embracing the new

recent Canadian study found that teachers and students want more technology in the classroom. It’s a finding that, at first glance, makes a dinosaur like me want to brandish a copy of Fun with Dick and Jane, and shout, “The old way is better!” The Dick and Jane readers were just slightly before my time, but generations of children learned to read following the antics of Dick, his sister Jane, their younger sister, Sally, and of course faithful dog, Spot. My daughter, like most kids of her generation, has a love and an aptitude for technology that kids Katherine Mortimer of my generation could never have imagined. The devices that most of us now use on a daily basis would once have been something only imaginable on an episode of The Jetsons. This year, at the behest of her teacher, my daughter began using a particular web site to help with her studies. When she first mentioned she wanted to use it to study the conjugation of French verbs, I admit that I balked. I got out the three-hole, lined paper and a pencil and told her the only way to learn was to write out each word and verb because that’s the way I learned to do it. She wasn’t too keen and kept insisting that this web site was teacher-recommended and that’s how she was going to study for her upcoming test. She held her ground and showed me what she was doing. The web site had practice tests that graded you, and lo and behold, she was having fun, she was learning and she was acing the tests. When she brought home a mark of 100 per cent on her test that week, I was thrilled and realized that she may have been onto something and that maybe I could in fact embrace technology for learning. Perhaps it was the same when kids in the one-room schoolhouse went from using a slate and chalk to a quill pen and ink.

Arena referendum is premature

he Civic Arena replacement feasibility report acknowledges that Kal Tire Place currently has a parking problem, stating there is a deficiency of more than 80 parking spaces and the construction of a new adjoining arena to the north would create a need for another 100 spaces. It is obvious that the parking problem will be aggravated by a twinning to the north. The report proposes to replace the existing landscaping with paved parking, creating parking along 43rd Avenue and by facility programming or allotting times for use between the two facilities. As I understand this idea, one facility will not be scheduled for use if the other has a large event scheduled. Is this workable? Planning for an adjoining facility to the west is the better choice. The existing parking can be saved. There will be no loss of the existing landscaping. Additional parking is possible from a utilization of a portion of Kin Park. The additional parking would address the present parking deficiency at Kal Tire Place and the requirement for additional parking to service a new facility. No land acquisition is required. Kin Park is already owned by the City of Vernon thanks to a donation by the Kinsmen Club in the 1960s. The report advocates against the western alternative, citing unresolved challenges and the short time replace civic As someone who is organizing the Bantam Tier 2 hockey tournament Nov. 27 to 29, I can see the value of a new arena beyond the benefits to the hockey community. Let’s do some basic math! Hockey Family Visiting Vernon: Accommodations and Meals – 2 hotel nights ($100) X 3 breakfasts ($50) X 3 lunches ($50) X 3 dinners ($75) =$725. Gas $100 Shopping and Gifts $100 Total per family money spent in Vernon = $925.

frame that the province has allowed for holding a referendum. Yes, there is an unresolved challenge arising from the city's and regional district's pathetic handling of the court challenge by the Okanagan Equestrian Society relating to Kin Park. The court case was adjourned several times with the last adjournment being for an indefinite period of time. Why were these adjournments agreed to by our local government officials when this delay in resolving the issues have prejudiced recreational planning in our area, including the use of Kin Park? As to the timing issue for holding a referendum, why not ask the provincial government for an extension or make a new referendum application? Eric Foster, our local MLA, has been very successful in gaining benefits for the North Okanagan. As a strong supporter of our area, he would give us an excellent chance Total per team money spent in Vernon = $18,500 ($925 X 20 families). Total per tournament money spent in Vernon = $129,500 ($18,500 X seven visiting teams) Total per tournament money spent in Vernon = $1,424,500 ($129,500 X 11 minor hockey tournaments). If we had enhanced facilities, we could host larger tournaments, with more teams and their families visiting our community, resulting in an even larger economic benefit to local business owners. Dave Mackenzie

for succeeding. We are being hurried into a vote by a local government that has dropped the ball. Does this make any sense? The feasibility report states that an access road to Old Kamloops Road will be required if a twinning facility is constructed to the west of Kal Tire Place with an additional cost. Surely an access road would also be required if a twinning facility is developed to the north and would not the cost be greater because the road would cover a greater distance? The report describes additional parking being created along 43rd Avenue to address the problem of lost parking spaces from a twinning to the north. I have not, however, been able to find any cost estimate in the report for this. Its estimate of site preparation costs appears to be flawed and is predicated upon a study that has not included any geotechnical investigation. A geo-

technical investigation is necessary especially for the area in question where there is a high water table issue. What will be the cost of such an investigation? What will be the cost of addressing high water table issues if construction is undertaken? We don't know. There are other questions that come to mind such as how are operating costs to be apportioned between the city and the regional district and for what period of time? What planning, if any, has taken place for the Civic Arena property if the structure is removed? What are the city's plans for Kin Park? What an eyesore it has become from neglect and lack of use. Is the city mindful of the commitment it made to the Kinsmen Club? I am a life member of the Kinsmen and I seethe when I am confronted with having to view this neglect every time I pass by. The Nov. 28 referendum is premature and unfortunate. The wrong location is proposed and the projected costs for developing the location have not been adequately researched. Our local government is attempting to deflect this issue from our consideration by actively promoting the inadequacies of our Civic Arena in the news media and ignoring the merits of twinning to the west compared to the northern alternative being proposed. I will be voting no Nov. 28. Brian Willows

MaKe joBs availaBle Upon reading the recent material printed on alleviating the problems of the homeless in the newspaper and the remedies for them, which I mostly agree with and think will be beneficial, there is one word that is glaringly absent. That word is jobs. I think jobs would be the backbone of success. I fully realize that most of these people could not handle a 40-hour week, but I do think most of them may be able to handle, say, a 10-hour

week. For those who can, I think the jobs should be made available. They would partially alleviate poverty, would provide a service necessary in the community and would increase their self esteem and in a few cases - who knows?- might lead to something more substantial. Perhaps some entrepreneurs could get together and come up with something to help and hopefully realize a tax break. Then again, I may be dreaming! j.l. Mawle

age factor? Nice scare tactic by Coun. Scott Anderson in regards to the Civic Arena. In our society some of us move too quick to replace something deemed old. After a recent trip to England buildings hundreds of years old and castles still stand, heck some of the pubs are older than our Civic Arena, all in great shape. There is nothing wrong with spending money to maintain something and from personal experience it's far cheaper than spending millions. P.S. Stonehenge still stands. Brent Knezacek

LEAFSOURCE Natural Mineral Discovery when Taken Daily, Uses the Healing Power of Nature to Reduce Joint Pain, Enhance Energy Levels and Boost Immune Health within Days! A little over 10 years ago, a prehistoric rainforest deposit called LeafSource™, was uncovered from a pristine area in the United States. Geologists were instantly amazed by a large group of rare compounds they discovered in the earth. These compounds, called organic acids or humates, have been shown through numerous studies to be able to help curb pain and inflammation, enhance natural energy levels, bolster immunity, and the list goes on. Since that time, thousands of people have benefited from the incredible health-enhancing effects of LeafSource™. Here are just a few of them… Simply Outstanding Experience! Laurel Keating A friend of mine begged me to try LeafSource™ last year and I most skeptically did. All I can say is WOW! Not only did LeafSource™ greatly reduce my pain and discomfort, but it gave me a newfound energy as well. My only regret is I waited almost 10 years to find this amazing product! Works Wonderfully!! Love it! Jackie F. LeafSource™ has relieved my Rheumatoid Arthritis and inflammation pain. Anybody that has RA knows what it’s like living with it every day. Flare ups come on at any time of the day and night. The inflammation hurts so badly! But thanks to LeafSource™, I now have less flare ups, meaning less pain caused by inflammation. I highly recommend this wonderful product to everyone!

It Works! Bob Huntsfield I experience joint pain in my knees and wrists sometime so I was super excited to try this product out. Since taking LeafSource™, I feel a difference in my joints! LeafSource™ made some noticeable changes for the better. I got relief within a week of starting this supplement. My joints finally feel like they are working the same way they were intended to! I also feel more energized which is a huge plus! I sleep better and can exercise to a whole new level! LeafSource™ is super easy to swallow and leaves no after taste, thank god! I would highly recommend this product Great All around Product for Minerals & Immune System CT Cummings I have been taking LeafSource™ for about 3 weeks, twice daily. I am almost out and will be buying more, why? My eyes have improved, my skin & hair have improved, and my foot & leg cramps have almost gone away. I actually broke my little toe a week ago & when I took this product, I noticed less pain and the swelling went away. The pain in my arm has also been helped. LeafSource™ is not just some synthetic Multi vitamin/mineral formula, instead everything in it is both naturally occurring and 100% natural. It Works Beautifully! Love It! Mrs. Linda Finn LeafSource™ works great! I can say that I have less joint pain and better mobility using it. I take it daily, as per the directions on the bottle, and in a while, no more pain. LeafSource™ is great for inflammation and arthritis. If you suffer, try this, it works.

It appears it will be one more Christmas season in the old food bank building in Lake Country. With work progressing but still plenty to get finished on the inside of the new food bank near the Winfield Seniors Centre, a potential grand opening of the new food bank is likely going to be held before Christmas. However according to Bob Rymarchuk of the Lake Country Rotary Club, the actual moving in process won’t take place until after the New Year. “All of this of course is still up in the air as we have lots to do to finish the building,” Rymarchuk said in an email to the Lake Country Calendar. “We’ll do our best to stick to this schedule but as you can appreciate we’ve got our work cut out for us.” Hamper handouts at the old Lake Country Food Bank will end on Dec. 18 this year but Rymarchuk said the old building will not be closed until the move to the new location is complete. Trades workers are nearly finished with the plumbing and electrical work while final insulation and vapour barriers need to be completed before the inside walls can be finished at the new building, said Rymarchuk. A walk-in cooler/ freezer is scheduled to be installed Dec. 4 and there is still some concrete work to be done on the exterior including a pad/ramp to the front door and a pad for the loading door. Exterior siding still needs to be completed as well and will be one of the last things to be done. There is also a planned work party coming up Nov. 21 in Lake Country to install another layer of flooring. More donations are always welcome. Email Rymarchuk at bob@ ubrservices.ca if you can help.

Plastic wanted Morning Star Staff

Sure, you know that you can recycle a lot of your plastics. But as technology advances, plastics recycling is evolving, so it can be tricky keeping up with the progress, even for the avid recycler. Here are four things about plastics recycling you may not know: Recyclers want your caps and lids: Don’t throw your soft drink bottle caps in the trash can. Or your margarine tub lids, either. They’re not trash. Bottle caps and container lids are made with valuable plastics, and recyclers want them too. Check with your municipality or local recycling program for their guidelines around caps and lids – many encourage you to simply put caps and lids back on bottles and containers and toss them in the recycling bin together, while others may ask that the caps and lids are included separately. Recyclers typically shred them all into flakes and then submerge the flakes in water. Bottle flakes sink and the other flakes float, making it easy to separate the plastics for recycling. Optical scanners and other technologies can help too. Used packaging isn’t only recycled into new packaging: While used plastic packaging sometimes is recycled to make new packaging, this isn’t always the case. Used plastic juice jugs, for example, often are recycled into playground equipment, patio furniture, cooking tools, and more. And plastic yogurt containers can become reusable food storage containers, area rugs, tableware, and other cool products. Bottles can become clothing: Many clothing designers today use fabrics made from recycled plastic bottles to make a variety of clothing, from fancy dresses to comfortable T-shirts to rugged fleece jackets to board shorts. The bottles are cleaned, shredded, heated, and then stretched into fine threads that are woven into soft, durable fabrics. These recycled fabrics can be manufactured with different weights and textures to provide a range of design options. Plastic bags and wraps can be recycled at many locations: It’s easier than ever to recycle dry cleaning bags, food wraps, food storage bags, grocery store bags, product wraps, and more. Clean and dry bags and wraps are collected for recycling across Canada at various retail locations as well as through some curbside and depot programs run by municipalities. Manufacturers turn these plastics into new bags and other products — in fact, your used plastic bag could become part of your new backyard deck. Today’s intelligent plastics are vital to the modern world. These materials enhance our lifestyles, our economy and the environment. For more information visit www.intelligentplastics.ca.

Cats set for Mission Morning Star Staff

There will be no anvils, no ACME products and no gimmicks to try and stop these Roadrunners tonight. Instead, the Vernon Panthers will have to play a sound game for 48 minutes as they host the fourth-ranked Mission Roadrunners in an opening round of 16 B.C. AA High School Senior Varsity Football playoff game at 6 p.m. at Greater Vernon Athletics Park. “Mission is a perennial AA football powerhouse. They are always there at the end of the season (lost in the final last season) and are very well coached,” said Panthers head coach Sean Smith. Ben Hladik “From watching game film we know they are very physical, strong at the point of attack and will take advantage of us if we aren’t filling gaps and playing within our game plan. “Defensively, they play very sound on the back end and will be very tough to pass on. We will have our hands full. Having said that, my boys are playing their best football of the year, and if we are on top of our game, we could upset Levi Nicholas them. Playing a top-ranked team like this will be a good test to see where this group fits in.” The Roadrunners went 3-2 in the B.C. AA Eastern Conference, and are coming off a 19-0 loss to conference champion G.W. Graham Eagles of Chilliwack The Panthers enter tonight’s game having blitzed the Fulton Maroons 52-0 for the team’s fourth city championship title in five years (didn’t have a senior team one year), and an unbeaten regular season in the Okanagan Conference (4-0). VSS senior teams have yet to lose a conference game in four straight years. Vernon players dominated the conference awards, led by double winner Ben Hladik who was named most outstanding defensive player and most outstanding Grade 11 player.

“Ben has dedicated himself to being the best football player he can be,” said Smith. “He is not only a very big, strong presence on the field, but is also the smartest defensive end I’ve ever coached. He is great at anticipating and getting his hands up to deflect passes but can also stuff the run and shed blockers.” Hladik was one of seven Panthers to pick up year-end hardware. Running back Levi Nicholas – called “the most dynamic player in the league” by his head coach – was named the most outstanding offensive player. Zach Hyer was named all-star defensive back (No. 1-ranked). His brother, Josh, was the topranked all-star tight end. Justin Haverkamp was named all-star defensive back (No.2ranked behind Zach Hyer). Tyler Riva was chosen all-star defensive end (No. 1-ranked) and Jessie Bielski was selected all-star offensive lineman (No.3-ranked). “I am very proud of what these boys have accomplished as Panthers,” said Smith. “They have dedicated themselves in the weight room and did a lot of off-season training which had a huge effect on their DAVE EAGLES/KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK performance on the field. “I felt that we had some other players Jaden Steinke of the VSS Panthers carries the ball against the Duchess Park Condors that were also deserving but couldn’t get of Prince George in junior varsity football playoff action Thursday in Kamloops. everyone on the list. Hopefully they will be there next season.” Liam Wear played four years with the Panthers. Proceeds from tonight’s 50/50 draw will be given to the Meanwhile, the Vernon Panthers’ junior varsity season family of former Panthers all-star Liam Wear, whose father, ended Thursday morning in Kamloops. Neil, was recently diagnosed with cancer. The Duchess Park Condors of Prince George advanced Neil Wear is a former Panthers coach and Vernon teacher to the B.C. quarterfinals with a 25-17 round-of-16 win over who now lives at the coast. the Panthers. “He is undergoing chemotherapy which will make it very Charles Lemay and Bradley Hladik had touchdowns difficult for him to work his construction job, putting huge for VSS while Dylan Huber added a field goal at Hillside financial strains on the family,” said Smith. Stadium.

Merritt puts in extra two Cents for 4-1 win with the Cents in October and Merritt showed up losers in four of their last five games. The Cents improved to 8-14-1, bypassing the Trail Smoke Eaters into fifth place. The Vipers dipped to 10-120-1, four points in front of Merritt and five points behind the West Kelowna Warriors. West Kelowna has three games in hand. “We just can’t put it together for 60 minutes,” said Viper defenceman Mitchell Oliver. “The effort is definitely there at times, but not for the full 60. They just chipped pucks and were outworking us, nothing fancy. They are a team we should beat.” Nick Jermain, on an early powerplay in the second period, put the Cents up with his 10th of the year. Gavin Gould and Michael Faulkner drew assists. Viper goalie Andrew Shortridge, returning after LISA MAZUREK/MORNING STAR missing last weekend’s road trip Hunter Zandee of the Vernon Vipers beats Nick Jermain of the Merritt Centennials to the puck in BCHL action with a hip flexor, was screened on the play. Tuesday night at Kal Tire Place. The Cents scored twice into an empty net for a 4-1 win. Morning Star Staff

They got beat to a loose puck killing a penalty and failed to generate much on the powerplay Tuesday night at Kal Tire Place Throw in four of five shifts where they

were simply outworked and the Vernon Vipers were again not consistent enough, falling 4-1 to Merritt Centennials before 2,066 B.C. Hockey League fans. Vernon swept a home and home series

Ryan Forbes posted his fourth snipe seven minutes later, shorthanded. Ryan Coughlan and Gould earned helpers as the Cents beat four Vipers in the corner for a loose puck. The Vipers responded 44 seconds into the third period when Odeen Tufto notched his eighth. Liam Finlay fed Christian Cakebread down the sidewall and Cakebread sent a sweet backhander to Tufto in the slot. The Vipers pulled Shortridge for a sixth attacker with just less than two minutes left to play. The Cents won a loose puck shortly after with Zac Bowles finding the empty net with 1:21 remaining. Bowles has 11 goals. Gould had the helper. Jermain also hit the empty cage 54 seconds later with Colin Grannary and Ryan Coughlan assisting. “We played a good third period,” said Viper assistant coach and former captain Kevin Kraus. “The power play just wasn’t working like it was on the road trip. We just couldn’t get it set up. We made some dumb decisions and I think we were trying to be too fancy instead of simplifying it.” Kraus says the staff is trying to find some leaders who can serve as serious extensions of the coaches like he and good friend David Robinson did as captains.

“It’s not too late for that to happen,” said Kraus. “We’re still trying to find the identity of the hockey team.” A lengthy Saturday morning bus ride to Wenatchee to face the expansion Wild will be a major test for the Vipers. “This (trip) will hopefully help us come closer together as a team,” said Oliver. “We have to just keep working hard in practice and get through this.” The speedy Wild, who play out of the gorgeous 4,300-seat Toyota Center, lead the Mainland Division at 13-5-2-1. The Wild are 6-1-1 at home. Brendan Harris, 19, of Las Vegas, and Mike Coyne, 20, of Buffalo, both have a team-high 20 points. Joe Drabiun, 20, of Rochester, N.Y., has 11 goals and 19 points.

In the second half, Aimee Skinner stripped a Kelowna defender of the ring and waltzed in to make it a two-goal lead. Francks and Sadie Christensen then worked a give-and-go to allow Francks to score a diving goal. Jackson connected with Fernley for her second snipe in the final minutes. Jordan Tung registered 15 saves for the win. The Venom got hat tricks from Skinner and Jackson in a 7-4 Sunday win over the Kelowna Renegades. Jackson set up Quiring for the other Vernon goal.

Kings take Richmond gold Catt brothers honour father with big snipes Morning Star Staff

Cole Benjaminsen netted the winner as the Corbett Office Plus Kings shaded South Delta Storm 3-2 Sunday in the Richmond Seafair Icebreaker Midget Hockey Tournament final. South Delta led 2-0 early in the second period before Brett Lambert bagged a deuce, both assisted by Benjaminsen and game MVP Riley Johnson. Benjaminsen scored the goal of the tournament unassisted, late in the period. Liam Hennig and Noah de Balinhard were bold on the Kings’ defence in front of Ethan Huizinga and Noah Foufoulas. De Balinhard took MVP as the Kings stopped Victoria 6-2 in semifinal action, going coast to coast for the first goal 87 seconds into the game. Benjaminsen, with the hat trick, Adam Sacht and Lambert completed the offence. The Corbett crew opened with a 7-0 icing of Seafair behind three goals from MVP Lambert. Benjaminsen added 2+3, while Reid Lawrence, Johnson and Halle HigginsWilson rounded out the offence. Vernon then bounced Kamloops 5-1 on goals by Sacht, Lambert, Lawrence, Leland Riguedell and MVP Benjaminsen. Huizinga was stellar in net.

In Friday games, the Snakes were without key veterans Semeniuk, Riley Bos and Darnell Hauca due to football and illness. They bowed 6-2 to Langley with Brandon Lehoux earning MVP, and fell 5-2 to Abbotsford with Cole Martin receiving MVP. Meanwhile, the Nedco Gunslingers grounded Lakeside Printing Sting 5-1 and then ambushed Blackburn Excavating 9-3 in Midget league play.

D-man Colton Schaper-Kotter opened the attack, while Aaron Botterill converted a shorthanded snap shot from the top of the circle, Mann clicked on a wicked pass from Botterill, and Moore trickled in a wrister rounding out the offence.

Flu shots urged TOM FLETCHER Black Press

This year’s influenza vaccine is available at doctors’ offices, public health clinics and pharmacies across B.C. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall said the main flu season runs from late November through to next April, and cases of H3N2 influenza are already showing up. That strain affects mainly older people, while influenza B is expected to show up by February and spread among children. The vaccine is free for children between six months and five years, seniors aged 65 and older, pregnant women, aboriginal people and those with chronic health conditions, as well as caregivers and others who expect to be in close contact with higher-risk groups. About 3,500 people die in Canada each winter from influenza and its complications, with hospital and residential care patients the most vulnerable. Kendall said influenza causes more deaths than all other vaccinepreventable illnesses combined. This year’s vaccine is expected to provide 40 to 60 per cent protection against H3N2 and 65 per cent protection against various strains of influenza B. “The annual flu vaccine is still the best tool we have to protect against getting the flu,” said Dr. Charles Webb, president of the Doctors of B.C. “Combined with regular hand washing, you are also protecting those around you who may be more vulnerable to serious flu complications.” To find the nearest flu shot clinic, call HealthLink BC at 8-1-1 or use the online influenza clinic finder at www.immunizebc.ca/ clinics/flu.

Bridge by Phillip Alder WHAT IS THE GATE TO REACH YOUR HAND? Henry Wadsworth Longfellow said, “Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.” Here is another deal, like yesterday’s, that revolved around a key entry - a gate into declarer’s hand. South was in four hearts. West led the club ace and continued with the club king. What should declarer have done? This type of auction always leaves one side feeling very uncomfortable. West could have passed out one spade, but the next moment his opponents have roared into game. However, West had a normal balancing one-

no-trump overcall, which showed 11-14 points. After North doubled to indicate his extra strength, the rest of the auction was natural. South was threatened with losing four tricks: two spades, one heart and one club. Although the heart finesse rated to be working, the lack of an immediate hand entry persuaded declarer to sacrifice a trick in that suit. He ruffed the second club with dummy’s heart nine and led the heart five to his eight. West won and played his third club, but declarer ruffed with the heart ace, drew trumps ending in his hand, and led a spade. After West played low smoothly, did South call for dummy’s jack or king? As usual, counting points supplied the answer. West

had already shown up with 12 points: the heart king and top three clubs. If he also held the spade ace, he would have been too strong for his balancing one-notrump overcall. Declarer finessed dummy’s jack and claimed when East won with the ace. Keep counting the highcard points.

Since 1969

The story of Maria Brent

aria Brent was a passionate advocate of the mixed-race children of the early Okanagan ranchers and their native wives that formed the “first families” of the valley. She once wrote, “This is an aspect of Canadian history which seems to have been strangely overlooked, viz., the natural aptitude of men of mixed Indian and white blood, for public office and for leadership.” Her father, Charles Frederick Houghton, was born in Ireland and entered the British Army at the age of 16. After serving eight years, he heard that the colonial government was offering land grants of 1,440 acres to military settlers with the rank of Captain. When he traveled to B.C. he was told that the land grants had been reduced. Nonethe-less he took up land in the Okanagan Valley along with his friends, the brothers Forbes and Charles Vernon, after whom the City of Vernon is named. He appealed to the government of the Colony of B.C. for a full military grant and received a total of 1450 acres, which he named the Coldstream Ranch. In 1868 or 1969, Houghton met and married Sophie N’kwala, granddaughter of the great Okanagan Chief N’kwala. It was Chief N’kwala who personally conducted the wedding ceremony, indicating the significance and permanence of the union. The couple had two children, Maria was born in 1870 and baptised at Okanagan Mission (later Kelowna). Her brother Edward was born in 1872. The happy family did not survive for long. In 1877, in the altogether too common practice in the BC Interior, the 39 yearold Charles Houghton married 22 year-old Marion Dunsmuir, daughter of the wellto-do coal magnate, Robert Dunsmuir. His

wife Sophie and the children returned to their Okanagan native relatives. Maria Houghton was a strong, intelligent young woman and this was recognized by her Okanagan native family. As she later wrote, “In an Indian tribe they pick one sober child with a good memory and train them to remember the story of their family and their ancestors. I was chosen for this. It was my great grandfather’s daughter that taught me (my grand aunt, old N’kwala’s daughter, young N’kwala’s sister). I now lived with my grandfather’s sister.” Maria’s great aunt taught her the traditions, which she had learned from her father, the old Chief N’kwala. Maria, who had been well schooled, wrote

down these traditions, preserving them for future generations. When Charles Houghton’s wife Marion died in 1893, he invited Maria to Montreal where he was stationed. She attended the balls and social Ken Mather events of the Montreal upper class and enjoyed a glimpse of how the other half lives. Her father retired to Victoria in 1897 and passed away the following year. Maria

RANCH TALES

returned to her Okanagan family, quite a contrast from the life in Montreal. She married William Brent, mixed-race son of Okanagan pioneer Frederick Brent and his wife Mary Ann, a daughter of Chief N’kwala. Maria Brent became widely known in the North Okanagan and was the author of a number of historical articles in the Okanagan Historical Society reports. Ken Mather is a Spallumcheen author.

Province inks China deals Morning Star Staff

“Building a home and financing our business, it’s everything we’ve worked for.” Karen and Wilfred, Chilliwack Members

Premier Christy Clark has returned from a China trade mission where she championed British Columbia’s capacity to help China in its pursuit of a cleaner and greener economy. She drew on B.C.’s deep historical, cultural and economic ties to showcase B.C. technology and manufacturing companies who are well-positioned to meet China’s growing need for alternative energy and clean-technology solutions. Significantly, Premier Clark signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Province of Guangdong that identifies climate change and lowcarbon development as areas of future co-operation, and Minister of International Trade Teresa Wat signed two MOUs with the City of Shenzhen – one on lowcarbon development and clean technology co-operation; the other on trade and investment co-operation. “Working together on addressing climate change and developing clean technology is a part of our province’s strategy to expand and diversify our trade relationship with China,” said Clark. “We want to align B.C. companies with new opportunities in China’s developing clean-technology sector – and if the number of deals signed on this trade mission is any indication, there’s a bright future for B.C. companies wanting to expand into the Chinese market in these areas.” In total, 45 events and signings took place on the trade mission across a variety of sectors, demonstrating the diversification that is taking place in B.C.’s trade relationship with China.

New home needed for Vertigo Kristin Froneman

Morning Star Staff

Kristin FroneMan/Morning star

Trista Bassett stands in front of the Winnipeg Union Bank building, home to Gallery Vertigo the past 13 years, with Emerald Holt’s Van Gogh replica of Sunflowers, one of the paintings to be auctioned at Almost Famous Dec. 5.

For those who have looked up to culture in downtown Vernon, Gallery Vertigo has offered a place for artistic and creative endeavours for more than a decade. However, that’s about to change as Vertigo is needing a new home due to the recent sale of the historic Winnipeg Union Bank building, where the gallery has been housed for the past 13 years. “Since the new ownership,Vertigo has seen its rent double and the rent is about to triple come January,” said Trista Bassett, the gallery’s current executive director. “We have stayed open to date largely because we have been paying far below market value for rent in our space. The new owner has been incredibly accommodating. Even at triple what we’ve been paying, it’s still under the market value.” Operated by the non-profit North Okanagan Artists Alternative, established in 2001, the gallery grew out of a small group of local artists who wanted to feature emerging talent and add something different to the creative landscape in Vernon and area. In the spring of 2002, a core group of those artists rented the second story of the

historic Winnipeg Union Bank building at 30th Avenue and 31st Street in downtown Vernon. They renovated it at their own expense to launch what would become the North Okanagan’s first and only artist-run gallery. Despite its changing membership and the financial challenges that come with running a not-for-profit arts organization, Gallery Vertigo has managed to last. Artists have continued to work in the gallery’s studio spaces, and many have caught a musical or literary event, an art class or workshop, or have just gone up the stairs to look at the ever-changing art displays in its two exhibition spaces. Vertigo’s directors and members have until spring before a move from the Winnipeg Union Bank building is imperative and are hoping to find another affordable space to rent downtown. “Ideally we would like a space with windows for our studio artists who need natural light as well as a place to hold performances and exhibitions. We would prefer that it does not have residential above it.” The new owner would also need to support the arts, added Bassett. “We fill a roll in the community that other arts organization aren’t filling. We

provide opportunities for emerging and young artists. A lot of time, it’s their first time exhibiting in a solo exhibition and we provide them with the space. It’s also a place for artists to work independently.” Plans are now in the works to preserve the future of the gallery, the most critical of which being Vertigo’s annual fundraiser, Almost Famous. “This fundraiser will either make or break us,” said Bassett. This year’s Almost Famous is being held in the boardroom above Century 21’s office at 2907 32nd St., Dec. 5 from 7 to 10 p.m. Sponsored by Red Truck Brewery, the event will feature both a live and silent auction of replicated masterpieces and other artworks by the community (donations are still welcome), a cash bar as well as live entertainment by local acts Steel Wound, Small Kitchen Chaos and Tanya Lipscomb. Tickets are $20 and available at the gallery or the Bean Scene. Gallery Vertigo is also hosting a rescheduled show and sale of pottery donated by the estate of late Coldstream artist Ada Evelyn McMechan (1915-1990). It takes place during the downtown Vernon light up at the gallery on Saturday, Nov. 28.

Experience the magic of dance in all its forms City Dance presents a magical show that will see a certain someone falling to pieces

Morning Star Staff

Maybe it will be watching Vernon’s mayor get sawed in half, or perhaps it will be seeing dancers flitting across the stage in all their finery. Whatever it is, City Dance has a little magic for everyone. The Vernon dance studio is about to present its third dance production with this year’s Dance: The Magic, a funfilled show for all ages featuring multiple dance styles, death defying magic feats and special guest performers. The show takes place for two performances Nov. 21 at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. “This year’s theme, magic, opens up a whole world of dance and illusions that will have the audience, young and old, marvelling at the dancers, the magic, and the way they blend seamlessly together,” said City Dance owner Heather Stranks. “City Dance believes that everyone should be exposed to the magic of dance, and so, to help encourage young people to experience dance in many forms, children 12 and under will be admitted free at the matinee with the purchase of an adult ticket.” City Dance students have been working feverishly since the beginning of September to perfect their dance routines. Dancers will perform a variety of styles including ballroom,

Jens Goerner (left) and Heather Stranks of City Dance get ready to saw Brian Martin in half in preparation for their Dance: The Magic show. salsa, tango, jive, hip hop, contemporary and Polynesian, and more. Joining the studio dancers will be special guests, Diversity Dance, Hula Halau Ke Aloha Polynesian Dancers, soprano Melina Moore, and Dream Party Productions. Adhering to the magic theme will be a performance by Vancouver magician/illusionist Kaplan, who has enjoyed a national career spanning more than 30 years, during which

he has performed thousands of shows in more than 500 Canadian communities. Career highlights include performances at the opening ceremonies of Expo ‘86 and at the National Men’s Curling Brier. He has also appeared with former Tonight Show host Jay Leno and has created and performed halftime shows for the Calgary Stampeders. Most of Kaplan’s career, however, is devoted to turning family fun into thousands of dollars for schools and community organizations through his Fundraising Magic performances. As part of his Vernon performance, Kaplan will amaze with a death defying feat involving either Vernon Mayor Akbal Mund or Sun FM morning host Brian Martin. “For each of the past two years that City Dance has produced their show, partial proceeds have gone to Have a Heart Radiothon, which benefits the women and children’s ward at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Between Brian Martin and Mayor Akbal Mund, the one with the most donations for the Have a Heart Radiothon will be sawed in half at the afternoon show,” said Stranks. The public can get involved by casting a vote of whom they’d like to see sawed, with a monetary donation in either Mund or Martin’s name. Donations can be dropped off at either Sun FM or City Dance, said Stranks. Dance: The Magic takes to the stage at 2 and 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 21. Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for children/students, with children 12 and under free with the purchase of an adult ticket for the matinée performance. Tickets are on sale at the Ticket Seller.

Arts 13th Floor is back with Friday the 13th fun Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

The nightlife landscape in Vernon continues to change, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t dancing to be found. With the recent closure of Monashee’s, a group of DJs and entertainment providers have set up shop at another downtown Vernon establishment, now under new ownership. One of those entertainers providing the tunes is event planning company 13th Floor, whose name continues to grow for its DJ and electronic music-driven productions. Owned by Vernon entrepreneurs Josh Brazier and John Oh, who are also part owners of the Downtown Vernon Internet Lounge, 13th Floor has been asked to take over Friday nights at what is now the city’s only nightclub, 2929, which is located at 29th Street and 29th Avenue, hence its name. Formerly known as Night Moves and Boomers, 2929 is now owned by Burnaby nightclub owner Saverio Loria, who is planning some major renovations for the space this spring. “He invites everyone to come out the establishment and see some of the renovations that have already taken place,” said Brazier, adding, “Saverio has decades of nightclub experience behind him and looks

DJ Perkulator performs tonight at the first 13th Floor event to take place every Friday at Vernon’s 2929 Nite Club, under new ownership. forward to meeting new friends while reinstating the nightlife in Vernon.” With years of experience and more than 60 events under their belt, the most recent being a haunted mansion at a private location on the outskirts of Vernon, the 13th Floor crew is ready to take on the responsibility of delivering a party every week with its 13th Floor Fridays. Kicking off the party tonight, on what happens to be Friday the 13th, is rising star DJ Perkulator.

“Coming off a busy festival season where he played at major festivals such as Shambhala, Perkulator, a bass music artist, rolls into Vernon for the first time ever and will soon hold the honour of playing the first ever Friday night under the 13th Floor name,” said Brazier. Creating psychedelic bass music that transcends genres, Perkulator filters through a mixture of soulful uplifting melodies, crunky purple bass lines and funky future beats that result in a unique sound that is melodic and smooth, but still has that bass heavy punch. The past few months have led to increased exposure for Perkulator, with his first break being when he won Minnesota’s Stardust Redux remix contest, which gave him an official spot on the Eternal Frequencies Equinox Remix EP. It has so far had 80,000-plus listens on Minnesota Stardust Redux’s SoundCloud account. Since then, Perkulator has been gaining more attention with his free releases and debut EP Transcension, on Gravitas Recordings. Tickets are $10 available at 13thfloorent. myshopify.com or at the door. The event starts at 9 p.m. with opening DJs Dr. Brea, Augustin and Metaphorical. The following Friday, Nov. 20, 13th Floor hosts Australian DJ Slynk.

vincing performances that ring true. All Across This Land shifts into a late 1970s’ fusion of Bruce Springsteen/Tom Petty heartland rock ‘n’ roll. It’s a logical step for a group that’s naturally comfortable in Americana roots. Cadillac Road is an obvious nod to this tradition. It merges the drama of working class

heroes with the horizon gazing of restless spirits bent on moving on. Blitzen Trapper are risk takers but they still play it safe. Earlier songs like the fuzzy folk tale of Furr and the twisted saga of Black River Killer are different sides of the coin but they’re based in early folk/mountain tunes. Across the Road is a revisiting of these acoustic ballads. The band captures an ambiance that’s undeniably evocative. Rock and roll is a form with deep roots that renews itself inevitably despite recurrent predictions of doom. The band has albums that each have their own identity but don’t stray from the base Blitzen Trapper sound. On Across This Land they nail the classic singer/songwriter sound and do some free range roaming in that genre.

Bond is a ghost of his former self

MGM Pictures

James Bond (Daniel Craig) is not going to get his deposit back in Spectre.

Reel Reviews

Taylor and Howe

lighter and I don’t feel that is for the better. TAYLOR: Throughout the humanization of Bond, the strongest moments in the Craig movies

came from us seeing Bond act on behalf of his own desires. In Spectre, although Bond is working on his own, he’s still only doing his job. So we’re not personally invested in his actions, as we were in Skyfall. To top it off, this film is not nearly as pretty as Skyfall. The colours and life are taken out of this one, replaced with desaturated shadows. It just feels like they’re going through the motions. It distracts

T H E AT R E

ecret Agent 007 James Bond (Daniel Craig) receives a recorded message from a now deceased, trusted counterpart that sends him on the trail of a secret and powerful organization called Spectre. M (Ralph Fiennes) struggles to keep the 00 program from being absorbed into a new agency as Bond discovers Spectre’s tentacles extend into many nations’ intelligence communities. From the shadows, the man at the head of the table emerges. Blofeld (Christolph Waltz) is a man with whom Bond has a past. He isn’t going to be satisfied with mere world domination, not when he can also have his revenge. We say, “Spectre is a ghost of former Bonds.” TAYLOR: Remember when Bond movies were disposable, a bit cheesy, certainly cheeky, titillatingly silly action movies? Craig’s Bond seems to have been an exercise in humanizing the character over the years. A slightly more realistic tone has been adopted. HOWE: Yet, in Spectre, they seemed to have slipped back into Moore’s version of 007. I agree that they steered away from the one liners but in this they seemed to pay tribute to the franchises of old. The movie is littered with cheesy jokes, mascots of old enemies and a few more gadgets than the last few movies. I also think this is the first time we have seen Craig get it on with more than one Bond girl in the four movies he has done. The action is the regular humdrum of any Bond movie and they seem to always film in the same locations, any African country, the snowy mountains of Europe and then end up running around Great Britain. The movie itself seems a little

P O W E R H O U S E

from the direction the Bond films were being taken. The problem is it steers away from Bond himself. HOWE: Talking about steering, what I wouldn’t give to slip into one of them Bond beauties, with their slender sleek curves, to get the heart racing and the blood pumping. TAYLOR: Mr.

AUDITIONS for

“Waiting in the Wings” Coward’s tribute to theatre is set in a retirement home for actresses, all former stars. Jealousies abound, especially between Lotta and another who was also married to her former husband. A tragedy brings them to their senses and a new solarium brings out everyone’s good nature. Lotta chooses to stay with her old friends rather than go live with her son.

Gleaners send love around the world Contributed

From feeding the hungry to keeping people warm, the Gleaners are always busy helping people around the world. The Gleaners now have two processing plants in the Okanagan, One in Oliver and one in the Lavington area. The Oliver operation started in 1994, the Vernon plant in 2007. Their purpose is to gather (glean) crops that are damaged or left in the fields and that would otherwise go to waste. The product is dried and made into a soup mix that is shipped by various relief organizations around the world to starving people. Gleaners also collects used medical equipment which is shipped by relief organizations to various parts of the world. Also, every year thousands of packages of seeds are donated by P.N.W. Seeds to Gleaners, which are sent to many countries with the soup mix.

To help with the costs to run the processing plant, in 2010 Gleaners opened a used furniture store at 4405-29th St., across from the old Bakers Dozen store. Any donation of furniture you have is appreciated, and if you can’t deliver yourself, call for pickup: 250-549-1123. This year, the store purchased the building and expanded the operation greatly. If you could volunteer a few hours a week at the store, please call. This store, and other donations, is the only means of support for the food processing plant. Gleaners is made up of Christian volunteers who gather, process and package the produce donated by many local farmers. They also can use volunteer workers at the plant every week Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to noon. If you can help, call Harold Sellers at the plant at 250558-5872 for directions, or just show up there. Gleaners also run an annual

campaign to collect new socks, mittens, toques and under garments for kids of all ages. These are shipped with the food or separately to Third World countries. This year they will go to Eastern Europe. Many people enjoy knitting these items or you can purchase them new. Some people like to make kids’ hats from fleece. If you have any of this fabric, please call Brenda at 250-542 -3546 There are collection barrels in most churches, at The Schubert Centre and at the Gleaners furniture store. Gleaners would like to thank Lou Abram and her faithful group of knitters and sewers from Grace Bible Church who work all year long to supply Gleaners. So far this year, they have produced 1,800 pieces with a goal of 2,000 pieces. Also, this group would appreciate any surplus wool you might have. Call Lou at 250-545-1294.

Lou Abram with some of the many items she and her group of knitters and sewers have created for the Gleaners. Last year, the Okanagan Valley produced 14,600 pieces. Your donations are greatly appreci-

ated. The last day of collection is Nov. 29. Any questions, please call Howie Anhorn at 250-549-1632.

ably in our festive atmosphere while listening to Christmas music.” Radonz said some of the treasures to be found at the craft fair include bears, socks, quilts, intarsia (wood work), tree ornaments and painted wood treasures. Also available for purchase are homebaked Christmas cakes, preserves and sweets, all made by members of the Philanthropic Education Organization. The P.E.O. Sisterhood uses the proceeds from the products they sell for a scholarship for one local woman to further her education. As well, for a donation of a loonie, you will receive three chances for a door prize, with items for door prizes all donated by

the artisans. All proceeds from the door prize raffle will be donated to the North Okanagan Hospice Society. “Every year, the artisans come up with new ideas to make for those special gifts for loved ones,” said Radonz. “The selection is enormous and the quality of the crafts is beyond excellent. “Come and enjoy a very special shopping experience, which is enhanced by the artisans’ welcoming attitude to all who enter their Christmas store.” Christmas Memories Artisans’ fair takes place Nov. 20 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Nov. 21 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Trinity United Church, 3300 Alexis Park Dr.

Remembrance Day in Movember

his is about Doug. He was my step-dad and I first met him when I was eight years old. It was not a good meeting. He was a stranger, and worse, he was apparently my new father. After my biological father’s death, my mother, a widow at 24, did what she needed to do to survive. She entrusted my care to her parents, returned to university, got a teaching degree, joined the Air Force and met Doug. They married, had a son, and, along with Doug’s two daughters from a previous marriage, came to collect me to complete their family. Surrounded by strangers, I was to dr. April sanders leave with them and move far away from my known world. It was the 1950s and Doug was a big man, handsome in the fashion of the Mad Men character, Don Draper. He was an air force pilot and fit the role. Used to military responsibility and discipline, he was assertive, comfortable taking and giving orders and used to being obeyed. As his child, Doug never needed to threaten me with physical punishment. He would glare at me and I would fear for my life. In later years, this same glare constricted my dating options to only the bravest and most confident high school boys. I feared Doug, but mostly I was resentful and angry.

second opinion

His marriage to my mother was the reason that I no longer lived with my adored grandparents and worse yet, why I was a cog in the wheel of this family of strangers. I was consumed with the grievances of yesterday and as a result, Doug and I never spoke much until my 20s, when the whole world changed. No milestone marked the event, I simply grew up. War stories animated Doug. A Royal Canadian Air Force pilot in the Second World War, he flew over Mt. Everest (the Hump) from Dum Dum, India to Kunming, China to deliver supplies to Chiang Kai-shek’s Imperial Army. He loved recounting his adventures in Europe, Burma, India, Russia and the Egyptian desert. I marveled at his knowledge and insight into cultures I scarcely knew. He showed me the wonders of the world and made me want to experience them for myself. When I would ask why we had not previously talked about such things, he would simply point out that I had been an angry child and he was waiting for me to grow up. Happy stories led to the sad ones, his mother institutionalized with mental illness, his father’s abandonment of the children, Doug removing his siblings from an orphanage and leaving school far too soon to support them, a wartime marriage that ended with his first wife’s descent into schizophrenia and institutionalization, Doug alone with two small daughters while he visited his wife and mother in the same mental hospital. Through stories we bonded and Doug

became my dad. In my 20s he was the rock that anchored me and when life would fall apart, it would be Doug who would stomp into the room and say, “What in the hell is going on and how can I help?” My stepdad never criticized, nor did he hide his pride, but his advice was always tempered with a lesson. When I was in medical school and proud of an 80 per cent test result, he would congratulate me then urge me to study some more. No one, he chided, wanted a doctor who only knew 80 per cent of the job. As a young adult, I loved Doug and even more, I respected him for being no one other than himself. When he developed prostate cancer I could hardly bear his suffering. The surgeries, the hormones that made him teary, the pain where metastases gnawed his vertebrae, these he never discussed, he simply endured. Years after he died I organized Do It for Dad in his memory. I wanted others with prostate cancer to have the support Doug lacked and to demonstrate that one man alone need not bear this disease. On Father’s Day, when I jogged the course of Do It for Dad with Doug’s granddaughter, I thought of him every step of the way and thanked him for his patience during my long adolescence and his support of me when I was old enough to be worthy of his wisdom. He gave me much to be thankful for and he is the man I think about, with love and respect, on Father’s Day, Remembrance Day and Movember.

The weird and wonderful wows Las Vegas By Keith Morgan

The annual SEMA show in Las Vegas celebrates some of the craziest of car modifications and the most eye-catching new concept vehicles. The 2015 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show is no exception, with the continent’s best customizers again sharing their vivid imaginations made flesh . . . I mean metal. In recent years, the big mainstream auto manufacturers have increasingly participated, allowing their designers to let their hair down creatively.

its open top A1A Optima, named after the famous Floridian coastal highway. It’s totally roofless and features backwards-hinged doors – suicide doors in customizer parlance!

‘‘

The SEMA show is a chance for parts makers and custom shops to show their wares but it’s also a testing ground where the big guys can figure out if their wild ideas could go mainstream.

’’

The modification business owes its existence to North America but Keith Morgan now has now become a global industry believed to be worth $100 billion. The SEMA show is a chance for parts makers and custom shops to show their wares. It’s also a testing ground where the big guys can figure out if their wild ideas could go mainstream. Kia is drawing crowds with its exhibits, especially

One flight of fancy that will make it to market is the Red Rock Jeep Wrangler. Just 50 will go on sale as Jeep celebrates 50 years of its Easter Jeep Safari event. Toyota always unveils something fun and this year it truly ‘toys’ with those attending with its Tonka 4Runner concept. Toyota teamed with Funrise Toy Corporation, manufacturer of Tonka toys for Hasbro, to build a life-size Tonka SUV. It even has a pop-up tent on the roof. It joins the previously revealed Tonka Tundra fire truck.

Tree of Memories 2015 In memory of your loved ones, the Vernon Morning Star will be publishing a “Tree of Memories” page December 18, 2015 to honour the lives of those gone before us.

Other crowd pleasers include a Mazda Speedster concept based on the popular MX-5 Roaster, an all-aluminum design project called Aquarius from some independent American customizers, a bright orange motorcycle, a cute ice cream van and a weird wire dragster!

Ruth Marion PEARSON The friends and family of Ruth Marion PEARSON (nee FORSTER) are sad to announce her passing on October 31, 2015 at Parkview Place in Enderby, BC. – She was 98 and is survived by Tracey PEARSON, (Son) of Castlegar, BC, Meg PEARSON (Granddaughter) of Castlegar, BC, and Lotus HAMMER (Sister) of Kitchener Ontario. Ruth was born on September 21, 1917 in New Hamburg Ontario and raised there with three sisters and one brother. Her Father passed when she was quite young and she was forced to enter the work force at an early age. She established a career with the Mutual Life of Canada and later moved out west to Calgary as a sales agent. She was married in 1956 to Victor Clarence PEARSON of Balzac, Alberta, and in 1958 gave birth to her only son Tracey PEARSON. She moved to Nakusp, BC in 1978 and finally to Vernon in 1992. Ruth established herself as an antique wheeler and dealer and was known to many local Vernon merchants. She could often be found at any one of the many garage sales, used furniture stores, jewellery stores, bargain bins, or local antique dealers. Ruth was still driving in July of this year; however, sudden health issues quickly saw her spiral downward. The family wishes to express their heart-felt appreciation to many health care providers, but specifically: Management and staff of Coldstream Meadows for their patience, Dr. Colyn PIENAAR of Vernon, BC for his compassionate professionalism, Michele WIEBE, RN of IHA Vernon, BC, for her sincerity and persistence, and to all of the wonderful, loving, true care-giving staff from Parkview Place in Enderby, BC. Her peaceful, painless passing was made comfortable and possible by these wonderful staff, and especially Susie the CAT who was there for Ruth until her last breath. Thank you all so much. She will be greatly missed and is now laying safely in the arms of the Angels. Gone with God A memorial service is planned for later this month in Vernon, BC.
