Coyote concerns drawing howls
GEARING UP FOR GAMES
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
CORY BIALECKI/MORNING STAR
The 2012 BC Summer Games have arrived.... sort of. The large Games torch occupies space at the front of the warehouse as games board members and volunteers alike continue unloading four 53-foot long trailers full of equipment for the upcoming games. The trailers literally make up a ‘games in a box’ type kit that contains everything needed to successfully host a summer or winter games.
ATV accident claims local man ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The BC Coroners Office is conducting an investigation into a fatal all-terrain vehicle accident Sunday near Vernon. The B.C. Ambulance Service called Vernon RCMP to a report of an accident on the Becker Lake forest service road, near the lake, at around 5 p.m. “Three men were coming down
Vernon Mountain from the lake on the forest service road, returning to their vehicles,” said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. “One of the men noticed that the third person in their convoy was no longer with them. “The two men turned round and went back to look for him. They came upon their friend and found him under his ATV. He was unconscious at the time.”
Vernon Search and Rescue was deployed to the scene, and they began first aid and CPR on the man until the ambulance arrived. Ambulance personnel told RCMP the victim was in cardiac arrest when they arrived. Elroy Silva, 44, from Vernon, was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital where he later died from his injuries as a result of the accident.
The City of Vernon insists the disposal of roadkill isn’t creating a problem with coyotes. There have been some suggestions that an influx in coyotes is partly a result of public works crews dumping deer carcasses at a cityowned property off of Bench Row Road. “Maybe there’s been a day or a few hours before they are covered with fill, but we’ve never seen coyotes there,” said James Rice, public works manager. “My gut feeling is it’s not contributing to the problem but we want to make sure there’s no risk of attracting wildlife.” Deer carcasses are now being buried immediately. Rice said carcasses are buried there because they can’t be taken to the local landfill. There have been several complaints about coyotes being aggressive towards people and pet dogs. One Longacre Drive resident is demanding the animals be culled. “I certainly hope you can see the gravity of this current situation and will expedite a solution before it becomes tragic,” said Jim Inglis in a letter to council. Inglis claims the problem is worst along the Ellison pathway. “We have young elementary aged children who, at times, walk this trail to and from school, skateboard on it after school, walk their dogs after school etc.

There is a growing concern about the number of coyotes in parts of Okanagan Landing. and elderly adults on the path with their small pets at all hours, seven days a week,” he said. One resident had a close encounter with a coyote twice in recent days. On Saturday, the man, who didn’t want to be identified, was walking his dog along the trail. “My dog started screaming and a coyote was on top of it, at its throat,” he said. The man grabbed the coyote and while the animal backed off, it didn’t run away. On Monday, the man was walking his dog again and a coyote ran at it. He scared the coyote off with a stick. The city is taking action to advise residents of the risk along the pathway. “We will put warning signs up at each end of the path and we’re asking people to keep an eye on their dogs,” said Rice. City staff have been in contact with the Ministry of Environment about coyotes, and any action
would need provincial approval. The city’s environmental advisory committee will also consider the matter. “There’s a lot that can be done in terms of signage and education of the public,” said Coun. Buffy Baumbrough. The options to deal with coyotes are limited, according to the ministry. “We can’t poison because you’d kill everything,” said Josh Lockwood, conservation officer, referring to domestic dogs and other animals. One area of concern was students at nearby schools feeding coyotes last year, but that situation was resolved through education. “They have become used to people,” said Lockwood, adding that residents need to clean up potential food sources to keep coyotes away. Lockwood doesn’t believe coyotes pose a serious threat to people. “It’s unusual but I won’t say it won’t happen,” he said.

News Tougher rules penalizing businesses N JENNIFER SMITH
Morning Star Staff
ew rules aimed at saving lives are killing business. Fear is being driven into customers who are putting the brakes on time, and money, spent at local watering holes. Virtually every pub, restaurant and establishment that serves alcohol is suffering since the immediate roadside prohibition (IRP) came into effect in B.C. Under IRP, which has been in effect for more than a month now, the blood alcohol content level was not lowered from .08 to .05. Basically, just the consequences have changed. Motorists caught at or over .05 can now lose their driver’s licence, have their vehicle impounded and face costs ranging from $600 to $4,000. Therefore many drivers are rethinking where they have that after-work or weekend drink. Instead of going to a pub, many are staying home. “The bodies aren’t coming in and those that are aren’t drinking,� said Steve Pauls, owner of Monashee’s Bar and Grill and Kal Sports Bar. “Hockey season is in full bloom and no one is coming to watch the games.� Throughout Vernon, sales are down anywhere from 10 to 40 per cent at pubs, restaurants and locations serving alcohol. “We (pub owners) are all terrified. It’s a scary time for us,� said Pauls, who is just one of several local pub owners forced to lay off staff. “The law itself isn’t stopping people from drinking and driving, it’s actually costing jobs for B.C.� Over at the Blue Heron Waterfront Pub and Restaurant staff and hours have been cut. “We’ve already had to lay off four or five more staff than we normally do,� said owner Rick Reichelt, who is feeling the effects of IRP, a traditionally slower time of year and the HST. And it’s not just jobs that B.C. is losing. With Legion members being apprehensive about their intake, consumption is down at local branch lounges. Therefore so are sales and so are community contributions. “At the Legion the major portion of our income is driven by bar sales so we anticipate that new regulations will have a negative impact on our operations,� said Mike Jalonen, president of branch 25 (Vernon). “Adapting to this new environment and also maintaining a profit will be a challenge.� Since the Legion redistributes gaming funds to local organizations, the result of

Now that RCMP can impose tougher penalties on drivers who blow .05 or over, local pubs, restaurants and service groups are suffering from a lack of customers. new legislation will negatively impact its ability to support such causes. “Aside from being a private club, we are the focal point of generating thousands of dollars for various community enterprises,� said Jalonen. “If we are unable to attract and retain customers because of our new prohibitionist laws, then we are likely to fade off into the sunset. And the community will not be the better for it.� Many locations are looking at options to get business back. Over at Sir Winstons Pub and Liquor Store, four ounce glasses of wine (compared to the traditional six ounces served) are popular. The pub also offers to pay your cab ride home (details available in store). “We’re trying to offer our customers some responsible alternatives,� said partowner Tammy L’Heureux, adding that local pubs are also looking into the possibility of providing a shuttle service for patrons. Carlos Dagostini, owner of Toro’s Neighbourhood Pub, says everyone in the hospitality industry is struggling because patrons are scared.
“Last month you were OK and this month you’re basically a criminal,� he said of the average patron having a few drinks. From the HST, adding seven per cent to your bill, a struggling economy, plus the potential consequences of having a few beer, many people are opting to stay home for dinner and a few drinks. “I’m sure the grocery stores are doing a lot better these days,� said Dagostini. The impact of the new rules is also spreading beyond local pubs, it’s hurting the economy. Dagostini points out that the hospitality industry contributed $920 million in taxable revenue to B.C. last year. With pubs and restaurants facing an average 25 per cent drop in sales, that’s $230 million in taxable revenue B.C. is losing. And suppliers are being hit too. At Toro’s alone, the truck from the brewery usually brings in anywhere from 24,000 to 28,000 pounds of product. In the past few weeks that amount has dropped to 12,000 or 13,000. “Now the truck drivers are concerned about their jobs,� said Dagostini.
Having recently met with MLA Eric Foster, local pub owners expressed their concerns about the tremendous impact these new rules are having. “My question to Eric Foster was: what is the point? If you’re trying to save lives, it’s not working. If you’re trying to kill the industry and further slow the economy, that’s what you’re doing,� said Pauls.

Patrons cutting back consumption JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
A Canadian pastime, sharing a few drinks with friends or family, is being threatened. Those who used to down a few beverages with dinner, after a game or socially on a Saturday night are re-thinking their actions. “You can’t take any chances,” said Rob Bauml, Interior Hockey League director, who usually shares a few beverages with his team after a game. “If you have alcohol on your breath it sounds like the cops can nail ya.” With the new immediate roadside prohibition (IRP) in effect, people like Bauml are re-thinking their drinking. “Everybody is just ultra aware of what’s going on,” said Bauml, who now carpools with his teammates. In recreational hockey, having a few beer after a game is something many players look forward to – as part of the camaraderie of the sport. “Without a doubt, people are having less drinks after a game. Guys leave early now, instead of having a second beer.” Pam Lovig, manager of Checker’s Bar and Grill, can attest that many of her patrons are playing it safe.
“Everybody is just ultra aware of what’s going on.” — Rob Bauml “The after work guys, where they might have had three beers they’re having two.” The pub is still seeing a number of teams coming in after recreational games, but instead of everyone driving home Lovig says they are carpooling. “What I see mostly is they’re pooling together now. Rather than everyone driving.” Elks Lodge past exalted ruler Ole Sather has also noticed people rethinking before they drink and says liquor sales are down an estimated 25 to 30 per cent. “We have people who have been taking cabs from our place, people who never used to.” He has also changed his habits when he’s out. “I certainly won’t have two or three anymore. I’m sure I could handle two but I don’t trust that breathalyzer.” Meanwhile one of the biggest complaints
from patrons is that they have to wait upwards of one hour or longer for a cab. The City of Vernon is looking into getting more licences for people to operate taxis. But one local driver says that’s not feasible, and any new drivers brought in would be out of business shortly. Since after-bar shifts are the one busy time and drivers are required to purchase, insure and operate their own cars, not many drivers would be able to afford the costs of operating a taxi based on a couple busy nights a week, while the rest fight for day shifts. Out in Lumby, where there isn’t even a taxi service to get you home, Legion members Dale and Lorrie Pelletier aren’t spending as much time or money at the branch. “We used to go down Friday afternoons and have two, maybe three, and play pool,” said Lorrie. Now: “One drink and we’re out of there or one of us doesn’t drink so we can drive.” The new rules are making the wheels turn for a lot of people. “It’s certainly not something you can argue with because everyone knows it’s illegal,” said Sather. While Bauml questions whether it’s targeting the right people, in the end, if its getting drunks off the road, he says that’s a good thing.

Minister says people over-reacting TOM FLETCHER Black Press
People are over-reacting to the new penalties imposed on drivers who blow in the “warn” range of a roadside blood alcohol test, says Public Safety Minister Rich Coleman. New penalties were imposed Sept. 20, giving police options beyond the 24-hour roadside suspension. A blood alcohol reading in the “warn” range between 0.05 and 0.08 per cent can result in a threeday driving ban, a $200 “administrative penalty” and another $250 fee to have a driver’s licence reinstated. Drivers may also have their car impounded for three days and be billed for towing and storage, without ever exceeding the legal limit. For those who exceed 0.08, steeper on-the-spot fines and 30-day vehicle seizures are now within the discretion of police, in addition to charges if they proceed with prosecution. Coleman said Monday that since the new penalties took effect, it’s become an “urban legend” that people can’t have even one drink if they’re going to drive home. That’s having an impact on restaurant and pub business that was not intended when the measure was imposed.
More than 1,400 drivers were nailed with tougher penalties in the first 20 days of the crackdown under the new rules. Before that, officers had issued 24-hour roadside suspensions to as many as 40,000 drivers
a year, but those did not include financial penalties or vehicles towed to an impound lot. Coleman said the public needs more education on the roadside penalties for those under 0.08, and when it comes
to seizing vehicles, police may as well. “If the vehicle can be parked legally somewhere safe, or if there’s another person who can drive, it doesn’t have to be towed under the legislation,” he said.

Charges laid in crash ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A Criminal Code charge has been laid against the driver of a loaded logging truck nearly a year after a fatal accident on Highway 6 close to Cherryville. On Monday, Nov. 23, 2009, police, Lumby Fire Rescue and emergency crews were called to a three-vehicle accident near Keefer Lake at the Monashee Summit, east of Cherryville, at around 2:15 p.m. Police reported a Ford five-ton truck travelling west with two occupants was involved in a sideswipe collision with an eastbound loaded logging truck. The Ford was then rear-ended by a Toyota SUV with four occupants.
The driver of the Ford, Lee Gord Pasenko, 37, of Kamloops, was pronounced dead at the scene. Six people – the logging truck driver, a passenger in the Pasenko vehicle and the four SUV occupants – were taken to hospital with undetermined injuries. The crash closed the highway for more than four hours until the wreckage was cleared. Road and weather conditions were listed as poor at the time. A charge of driving a vehicle in a manner dangerous to the public has been laid against Vernon Dale Tilbert, 56, of Lumby. He’s expected to appear in Vernon Provincial Court next month to answer to the charge.
RCMP face tense situation ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
It’s not the type of welcome Vernon RCMP ever want to receive at their own office. Officers returning to the detachment’s back door, near the car bay, were confronted by a shirtless 24-year-old man waving a ratchet and demanding that the police shoot him Sunday at 5:15 a.m. “Our officers spoke to him and said, ‘No, that’s not going to happen,’” said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. “He demanded they go get another officer who would shoot him.” The officers managed to calm the man down, arrested him and took him to Vernon Jubilee Hospital for treatment. The man was arrested without incident, and police did not use a Taser in this case. Molendyk said issues like Sunday’s incident come up quite often for local RCMP, where they get put in tense situations while dealing with people who suffer mental health issues. “It’s very troubling for our officers,” he said. “Quite often individuals
– and I don’t know why they put our officers in that position – want an officer to take their life. “Police work is dangerous enough.”
Vernon RCMP meet with mental health officials on a regular basis discussing individuals who could cause some issues.

Fire strikes in family home ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Investigators continue to search for a cause of a fire at a Spallumcheen home Sunday. The ArmstrongSpallumcheen fire department was called to a structure fire in the 1600 block of Eagle Rock Road just after 11:30 a.m. “The owner of the house is the one who called about the fire. He got out safely,” said fire investigator Alastair Crick. The man was the only person in the home, which is occupied by a family of four. The structure and roof are still intact but contents throughout the home were destroyed or seriously damaged by the fire. The owners had content insurance on their belongings.
Answer: Start by reading the mortgage rates that are posted online and find out what a competitive rate would be. Then make an appointment with a mortgage broker or financial institution (there is no cost to you) to determine your ability to make payments on a

the closing of the B.C. Penitentiary. Besides having the shelter named after him, Hesketh was given the John Howard Society’s first national award for humanitarian service, and Parliament recognized him with a certificate of merit.

WATER MAIN FLUSHING NOTICE The Regional District of North Okanagan - Greater Vernon Water in conjunction with the City of Vernon and District of Coldstream Operations, will continue with Water Main flushing over the next two weeks. Flushing will occur in the following areas: COLDSTREAM: • North Kalamalka System – Kickwillie Loop subdivision (Stoneridge Drive, Lakeview Drive, College Way, etc.), Sage Pointe subdivision, Westkal Road, Kalamalka Road from Aberdeen Road West, Kalavista Drive, Postill Drive and Tebo Drive area, as well as the lower half of Kidston and all side streets. VERNON and ELECTORAL AREAS “B” & “C”: • North Kalamalka System – 15 Street West to 27 Street and Highway 6 North to 39 Avenue. Depending on operational conditions, flushing in these areas may be delayed or completed earlier than anticipated. Signs will be posted in most areas when flushing is in progress. Please drive carefully where operation crews are working. Notification will be updated as the flushing program progresses. What is Water Main Flushing? The water utility flushes water mains to reduce sediment and build up that accumulates in the mains. The process also helps to remove stagnant water and water that has deteriorated at dead ends. This annual process helps to improve water quality for public health. How are customers affected during Water Main Flushing? While crews are flushing in your area, you may notice a reduction in water pressure, sediment and/or discoloration of the water. What should customers do when water main flushing occurs in their area? • To reduce impact on household water systems, try to refrain from using water when flushing is in progress. • Customers may choose to store enough water for one day if it is considered necessary. • Should you choose to run water when water main flushing is in your area, you may choose to boil water or use a safe alternative. Water intended for the following uses should be boiled for one minute: • Drinking • Brushing teeth
• Washing fruits and vegetables • Making beverages or ice
• We strongly advise that you check your water before doing any water related household work such as laundry. Once flushing is complete, it may be necessary to run an outside tap until the water clears. If you have any questions, please contact RDNO - Greater Vernon Water at 250-550-3700.

Pitch made to preserve parks service RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Vernon is taking a unified approach on parks. In advance of a meeting with its regional partners Tuesday, council voted Monday not to support a major restructuring of the Greater Vernon parks, recreation and culture function. “We want to keep this service together,” said Mayor Wayne Lippert. Council insists that issues of concern can be addressed through contract, and for the city, those matters include tot lots/ neighbourhood parks and protection and maintenance of city-owned assets. Greater Vernon’s jurisdictions have been in the midst of restructuring talks for a number of months. Under the proposed model, some facilities would remain regional assets, including the Vernon Performing Arts Centre, Wesbild
Centre, Swan Lake Park and the Grey Canal trail. All other parks and facilities would be considered local and be the sole responsibility of their host jurisdiction. “I’d like to stop this service review,” said Coun. Bob Spiers. “The implications to the taxpayers of Vernon and Coldstream are horrendous.” Currently, all four jurisdictions contribute to capital and operations. Under restructuring, a one per cent tax increase may be required for Vernon to operate facilities under its mandate, and it would be 100 per cent responsible for capital enhancements. “If working together is better for our taxpayers, that’s what we should do,” said Coun. Shawn Lee. Coun. Buffy Baumbrough supported the motion, but has some reluctance. “I need to be reassured that as the owners of the building, we can ensure maintenance
is done,” she said of the recreation complex. “We need to address issues around neighbourhood parks and tot lots and that is lacking with the (current) structure.” Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe suggested that the other Greater Vernon partners don’t take the recreational interests of the city seriously. “If it happens to be in Vernon, they outvote it every time. They have not been that supportive of our citizens,” she said. Vernon council has also decided that it favours the voting structure at the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee and the North Okanagan Regional District being the same as stipulated in provincial legislation. “Coldstream says it wants an extra vote, and we want a good reason as to why,” said Lippert. The results of Tuesday’s meeting between Vernon, Coldstream and electoral areas weren’t known before deadline.
O’Keefe in tune with supporting symphony RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A Vernon politician believes the city should go it alone to fund the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra. Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe insists council should increase assistance to OSO instead of waiting to see if the North Okanagan Regional District will get onboard. “I support the regional district looking at it but we lose control in the amount of funding,” said O’Keefe. A majority of council has decided to support the regional nature of OSO, and it has asked the NORD board to place the issue of increased funding on the next meeting agenda. O’Keefe says the onus is on Vernon to ensure the symphony has a sustainable commitment. “They are underfunded. It has a huge

impact on our kids and the public,” she said. NORD provides $6,043 annually to the symphony, of that, $3,594 comes from the city. OSO is seeking $50,000 from the city and NORD, but while O’Keefe doesn’t believe that is likely, she says Vernon could do more than Penticton, which contributes $9,000 a year. “We have more than twice the number of concerts (than Penticton) so our support should be higher,” she said. Mayor Wayne Lippert defends the city’s actions, saying that the symphony is a broad regional issue. “Hopefully the other partners will agree to increase their funding,” he said.
“We’re looking to our partners to see what they’ll come back with.” The other NORD communities that pro-
vide funding to the OSO are Coldstream, Lumby, BX-Swan Lake,BX-Silver Star, rural Lumby and rural Enderby.

Down in the dump
N
orth Okanagan Regional District staff recently made the case for increasing the minimum tipping fee at landfills. Part of the argument was a higher fee would cut down on the trips residents make to get rid of one or two bags of trash. Apparently long lines of self-haulers — as us residents are called — are a frustrating prospect for commercial haulers. But perhaps the regional district should consider the role it has played in the backlog at Richard Rolke the weigh scales. And I specifically point to a situation a few weeks ago when a friend asked me to haul some items to the Greater Vernon landfill. Now I didn’t check the hours in advance, but the last time I went to a dump on a Saturday, I am sure the gates cracked open at 8 a.m. So on this particular weekend, my friend and I arrived just after 8:30 a.m. to be greeted by a line of four cars. A sign proclaimed the weekend start time as being 9:30 a.m. It didn’t make sense to head back home and then return in 45 minutes, so there we sat. And as we did so, the line of vehicles continued to grow, snaking its way down the hill. Some motorists were so frustrated they gave up their spots. Eventually the magic hour of 9:30 a.m. arrived and no staff member appeared to wave the vehicles in. So the woman driving the first car in the line — she would have showed up some time before 8:30 a.m. - gave the gate a shove and a mass convoy to the scale began. I am not sure how long it took for the backlog to clear, but it would have been consider-
BEYOND THE HEADLINES
able given that each vehicle had to be weighed going in, then had to wait for a dumpster to become free and then had to wait again to be weighed and pay for their load. If residents in their pickups were exhausted from this process, I’m sure commercial haulers were less than pleased. I suspect financial implications have dictated the hours of operations on weekends, but does being open from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. serve the public and encourage people to properly dispose of waste instead of finding alternatives like heading into the bush? Being open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays doesn’t help most people any good because they work Monday to Friday. Saturday and Sundays are generally the only days available to make a run to the dump — and such trips can’t be avoided because some items can’t be recycled and stuffed into a blue bag. And given that weekends are generally hectic with chores and family activities, it makes sense to get the dirtiest job out of the way first. That means wanting to head to the landfill early. If the hours were extended on weekends, would that not space the traffic out and ease some of the pressure on commercial haulers and the one employee who has to handle both windows in the scale house? It would certainly eliminate the frustration that comes from sitting in front of the gates for an hour-and-ahalf waiting to get rid of a load of trash. Yes as taxpayers we have to realize that there is a cost to running public facilities, and landfills shouldn’t be treated any differently. But the regional district should also be focused on public service and cracking the gates open mid-morning, when most of the world has been turning for hours, doesn’t fit the bill.
New penalties associated with drinking-driving have no doubt created a lot of reaction. On the one hand, most people would agree that there is a benefit to creating safer roads by kicking impaired drivers to the curb. But on the other hand, is that really what the new rules are doing? The stiffer penalties seem to be aimed at those who have had a couple drinks. The guy who has a couple of beer and nachos with his buddies while watching the game. The couple out for some wine and dinner. Public Safety Minister Rich Coleman says these aren’t the people being targeted and that it’s an urban legend that people can no longer have a responsible night on the town and drive home thanks to these new laws. Well, urban legends usually occur because there is not enough real information out there to enable people to make up their own minds. That points the finger back at the government who initiated these measures without enough information or forethought. Hopefully the provincial government will rectify that situation in the coming weeks and months. And, besides, it’s the “hardcore” impaired drivers that should be targeted with tougher penalties. They are the repeat offenders who aren’t getting the message and they are the ones who need to be taken off the roads. Penalties seemingly, if not intentionally, aimed at those who have consumed a couple drinks only victimizes the hospitality industry and the economy at large. It also confuses and frustrates the law-abiding citizen to the point where they throw up their hands and stay at home. This deserves a sober second look.

Paying tribute to veterans
W
e enjoy the paper and reading the letters to the editor. Sometimes good points are made, other times the letters have me questioning the credibility of the writer (Nov. 3) regarding "vacationing in a Communist Country." I am optimistic enough to believe that Canadians still believe that we have the best policing in the world (coast to coast). I believe that most still believe democracy and the privilege to vote for our elected representatives are important values that we embrace as Canadians (although voter turnout doesn't always make
that statement true.) We have the right to speak out when we believe something isn't right. That's called freedom of speech.
OUT OF TOUCH I am so angry after reading The Morning Star Oct. 10. The minister's comments about the average wage being $22 (per hour). I have to ask...where exactly do these exist? It is such a bloody insult to me that Iain Black and the Liberals continue to say this crap. Always their excuse for not raising the minimum wage that has not changed for years and is now the lowest in the country. I also disagree with his statement, "the state of wages is very competitive." I would say most people make significantly less than $22. In the hospitality industry the majority make the minimum wage, relying on their tips and now with HST I know tips aren't as good. I, for one, after 21 years with a good union job, still do not make the "average wage of $22." Perhaps if the Liberal Government hadn't rolled my wage back 15 per cent and given themselves a 45 per cent raise, I might make the average wage. Sally Greene TROUBLED WATER Is it just me, or do the people at Greater Vernon Water suffer from chronic soggy thinking? On one hand, The Morning Star runs a half page news article and a large ad asking residents on the Kalamalka Lake water system to cut back on water use because of a road construction project in Coldstream that requires a major water main relocation. In the same issue, is an even larger quarter page ad saying that simultaneously Greater Vernon Water is doing water main flushing on the Duteau Creek water system.
How many who take the time to rant through the media take the same amount of time to contact their elected representative to air their grievance first?
Maybe I suffer from drowned thoughts but I really wonder why these two things are being done at the same time. I appreciate that the water main relocation needs doing in accordance with the road construction schedule and its timing is outside Greater Vernon Water control. But why do water main flushing on the other major water source at the same time? Seems to me that flushing the Duteau system and reducing its pressure as well as increasing its turbidity at the same time you may need to tap into it to service some Kal Lake customers if a glitch or two crops up in the water main relocation or Kal Lake customers do not cut back their water usage sufficiently, is not prudent. For that matter, why is water main flushing of our reservoir-based system being done at this time of year at all? The reservoir will be near its lowest level because of the summer irrigation draw down, will it not? Does it not make more sense to flush a reservoir system in the spring when excess water is flowing over the dam? Does flushing now not use water that may be needed for irrigation or drinking if the reservoir fails to fill to overflowing due to poor snowpack in the reservoir watershed this coming winter? Has the Greater Vernon Water knee jerk response to our low reservoir levels at the start of last year failed to hit home? Maybe no lessons have been absorbed by all the consternation they created by their ill-considered actions then? I recall that Vernon council felt obliged to get involved because of the uproar that Greater Vernon Water caused and bring a more reasoned and equitable water allocation solution into focus. Perhaps water main flushing should only occur
How many constituents bothered to reply to our OkanaganShuswap MP's request concerning Bill C-428? Wouldn't it be great if we wrote to the paper to say a heartfelt thank you to those over the past century who died so that we could enjoy the freedoms we take for granted? Wouldn't it be wonderful if there was a deluge of letters to the editor to say thank you to the men and women who are still out there representing Canada in the Armed Forces, so that others might get a taste of what we have? I just did! Pauline Phibbs
if and when water is being spilled over the reservoir dams? Maybe health and turbidity concerns need to be balanced against water availability before water main flushing occurs? They should have started increasing the reservoir capacity before crisis levels were reached. Higher dams are a no-brainer; our ongoing year round stage 1 water restrictions, restrictions that have been in place for several years, underline that need. I suspect the primary reason for deciding to flush the Duteau Creek water mains at this time of year is to make sure the water from the horrendously expensive new water filtration plant is as good as Greater Vernon Water can get… accompanied by crossing their fingers and hoping the reservoirs fill to overflowing come spring. Let’s hope they are right for once! Jim Bodkin DESIGN FLAW? I have many growing concerns in regards to the job being done on 20th Street (between 43rd Ave. and 45th Ave). I can only imagine how many fender benders and possible fistfights there will be due to the lack of room when cars are parking on either side of the road during a yard sale or a school function. The school buses are already having problems when coming out without causing havoc with traffic (but what do we know, we've only been living on 20th Street by the school gate for 37 years). It won't slow down speeders it will only create more anger. Even the rough roads have not slowed down traffic whatsoever. Irene Hoover
BEAVER BULLIES? Re: "Beavers making waves" (Nov. 3.) Mayor Kevin Acton of Lumby is quoted with regards to 'how to deal with beavers ...' thus: "We've had flooding on properties and people have had their properties vandalized by beavers." Hm. Maybe our national emblem, Mother Nature's dam builders, have morphed into a beaver version of The Monkey Wrench Gang? As far as I know, no animal is capable of 'wilful or ignorant destruction'; that takes, er, human ingenuity. E. Suzie Sims

News Tower targets fall opening RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Patients could start using Vernon Jubilee Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new patient care tower next fall. Equipment will start being installed in the $181 million facility in January, with the contractor turning the building tentatively over to the Interior Health Authority May 16. Staff training will then occur, and patients could be accepted starting Sept. 25. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking forward to it with great anticipation,â&#x20AC;? said Pat Furey, administrator. The existing clinical space at VJH is 45,779-square-feet and that will climb to 116,488-square-feet in the tower. The tower will include operating rooms, a new emergency department, an intensive care unit and cardiac care, a new maternity and pediatrics ward, an expanded outpatient department and two additional shelled-in floors to be finished later. The emergency room will be four times as large as the existing department, while the surgical floor will double in size. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting to look like a hospital on the first and second floors,â&#x20AC;? said
Furey of the progress being made with construction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re building for future growth in the area.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoped the tower will eventually be home to a magnetic resonance imaging machine, but no decision has been made yet by the Ministry of Health. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at the top of the list for Interior Health,â&#x20AC;? said Furey, adding that an announcement on an MRI could still be a year to a year-and-ahalf away. IHA is also looking at what to do with the 60,000-square-feet being vacated in the existing hospital when whole departments move to the tower. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many of our service areas are feeling a crunch and they want to procure that space,â&#x20AC;? said Furey, adding that 18 proposals for expanded services have been received. Among them could be the pharmacy and the psychiatric department. However, before a decision can be made on the vacated space, IHA must look at the cost of renovations as well as staffing needs for larger departments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just move in and open up shop the next day,â&#x20AC;? said Furey.
New library set to break ground RICHARD ROLKE
Morning Star Staff
Fast-tracked planning means construction is getting underway on Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new library. Okanagan Regional Library will hold a groundbreaking ceremony at the 30th Avenue site Tuesday at 10 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very exciting,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Shawn Lee, Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representative to ORL. Once the dignitaries are gone, site preparation will start.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re shooting to begin site work by the end of November,â&#x20AC;? said Lee. Designs for the exterior of the 30,000-square-foot building have largely been completed, while work continues on the interior designs. Lee said the planning process has been expedited to ensure construction occurs as quickly as possible. Depending on how construction proceeds, the $12.65 million branch could be open to the public by spring 2012.

Fonyo arrested again Black Press
CORY BIALECKI/MORNING STAR
Crews work on the train trestle crossing Kalamalka Road Saturday during a two-day road closure that saw many commuters making the long detour through Coldstream into town.
Steve Fonyo has been charged with uttering threats against his wife, Lisa Greenwood. He was arrested in Surrey on Sunday. The 45-year-old made a court appearance Monday when he was charged with one count of uttering threats. He was ordered held in custody until a bail hearing set for this morning in Surrey Provincial Court. It’s yet another legal crisis for Fonyo, the one-legged runner from Vernon who made a historic run across Canada for cancer research in 1985. Earlier this year, the Surrey resident was arrested for credit card fraud, nearly scuttling his planned wedding at Fonyo Beach in Victoria on Aug. 28. He was released from jail in Surrey after an unidentified bene-
factor put up $20,000 bail. Fonyo, who has a lengthy criminal record, is facing trial on a number of other unrelated matters that include alleged possession of stolen property, being in a stolen vehicle, driving while
suspended and breach of probation. His well-publicized struggles with alcohol and cocaine resulted in the stripping of his Order of Canada medal earlier this year. Greenwood herself has served a short jail sentence for shoplifting.

Special flag returns Morning Star Staff
A Vernon city flag flown at a Canadian Forces base in Afghanistan will be presented to Mayor Wayne Lippert at Remembrance Day services Thursday at the Wesbild Centre. The flag has been carried back to Vernon by leading seaman Gareth Eley, a sailor in the Canadian Navy who hails from Vernon, after a six-month overseas tour of duty with the Canadian Forces. “This flag was an important reminder of my hometown every day of my tour and it’s great to be able to come home and formally present it to the city,” said Eley. Eley served with the 2nd Battalion of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry
Regiment assigned to the provincial reconstruction team in Kandahar from October 2009 to May 2010 where he was the operations/ accommodations noncommissioned officer at Camp Nathan Smith. During his service there, he participated in a program that has seen many Canadian Forces members carry flags from their hometowns with them overseas. The flags are presented to the home towns of Canadian Forces members participating in the program upon the first opportunity to do so upon returning to Canada. Eley will also participate in Remembrance Day ceremonies at W.L Seaton Secondary today, in addition to the community Remembrance
Day ceremony. Eley lived in Vernon from age one to 27 when he joined the Canadian Navy. He attended Harwood Elementary School and graduated from W.L. Seaton Secondary. He was a cadet with the Kalamalka Sea Cadet Corps.

The first call from a resident complaining about their car being hit by a paintball on Kalamalka Road near the train trestle Friday came at 8:30 p.m. A pellet had made a loud sound on a man’s vehicle, didn’t damage the car but left a blueish-green paint mark. After a second call minutes later about a community policing vehicle being hit by a paintball in the same area, followed immediately by a third complaint, RCMP descended on Kalamalka Road and began patrols. Two youth were discovered walking in a nearby trailer court. One was arrested on the scene, the other took off on foot. He would be delivered to the RCMP detachment by his parents. Police did recover paintball equipment during their investigation. Both youth, aged 15, were arrested and charged with mischief and obstruction, and were released into the custody of their parents.

Water board budget not soaking area taxpayers JUDIE STEEVES Black Press
An increase of 4.6 per cent in the $3.73 million Okanagan Basin Water Board budget wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean taxpayers will have to pay more because assessments have increased in the past year in the valley. The biggest increase for the coming year is in accounting and auditing services, which are provided by the Central Okanagan Regional District on a cost-recovery basis. Previously, the North Okanagan Regional District provided those services. Executive director Anna Warwick Sears said she is satisfied the increase is reasonable, because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been an update of services and items are being tracked more carefully in the new system. It jumped from $30,000 to $75,000 for the year. In the provisional budget, the overall requisition this year from taxpayers is six cents per $1,000 of assessed property values, unchanged from the previous two years. Of that, 3.5 cents per $1,000 assessment goes to the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sewage facilities grant program, while nine cents goes to the water milfoil program. A further 1.6 cents goes to water management, including drought management, ground water, water pricing, water education, the water supply and demand project and funding to host a water science conference in Osoyoos next year. Matching grants from senior government are expected to add to the funding available for many projects. An addition to the budget this year goes to fund a new UBC Okanagan Water Research Chair, a commitment which was already approved for five years by each of the three regional districts which make up the OBWB.
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $100,000 a year, beginning next budget year and is equivalent to 0.2 cents for $1,000 of assessed value.
Board members also discussed increasing an item in the budget for looking into management of groundwater
in the valley, but in the end, it was decided if more funding is needed, it could be drawn from other areas of
the budget, or from grants. Ted van der Gulick from the agriculture ministry noted itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
likely the province would look for leadership from the local community in moving groundwater regula-
tions along. A vote on the budget will be taken at the next board meeting in December.

News Schools can revamp food system JENNIFER SMITH Black Press
A new study from the Centre of Policy Alternatives suggests schools have huge power to revolutionize B.C.’s food system to meet the demands of climate change. The study, entitled Every Bite Counts: Climate Justice and B.C.’s Food System, is part of the think tank’s Climate Justice Project, which looks at how to fairly build a carbon neutral society in order to curb the effects of climate change. “We want B.C. to become more self-reliant in terms of its food,” said study co-author Marc Lee, noting the province currently imports roughly half of its non-processed food. Some 60 per cent of that import-base comes from California where drought has ravaged food production. “The ability of California to act as the breadbasket for North America is doubtful given the effects of climate change,” Lee said, noting change is likely coming with or without political policy. B.C. could eliminate its reliance on this import system, and the system of trucking food from community to community currently adding harmful emissions believed partially responsible for climate change to the atmosphere, by harnessing the purchasing power of major public institutions, the study suggests. Schools, in particular, could be harnessed to radically alter the retail food industry, first by educating a new generation of climate savvy, health-conscious consumers, but on a more immediate basis by directing their purchasing power toward the local food system. “Schools have huge potential to source food for meal programs from local sources, but also to grow food on school land,” the study reads. “Expanding programs could have a payoff in terms of nutritious meals for students, but also engaging children in how to grow food and in understanding the components of a healthy diet.” Because schools educate the next generation of decision-makers, the report points out the school system has “tremendous potential for addressing hunger, improving nutrition and teaching kids where food comes from” in curriculum development. The researchers linked with the Think and Eat Green At School research project, underway in the Vancouver School District, are investigating different ways to connect kids and foods more effectively in the school curriculum. The project includes links between classrooms and the UBC farm, nutritionfocused school programming, school gardens and so forth with an eye to harnessing the public sector to amplify the local food system, including farmers markets, community food networks and support for local growers. Lee said his study suggests B.C. should be aiming for 80 per cent self-reliance in its food system by 2030. Anna Hunt-Binkley, a Central Okanagan School
“We want B.C. to become more self-reliant in terms of its food.” — Marc Lee District trustee, recently attended the Championing Public Health Nutrition 2010 conference and sat beside Dr. Francesco Branca, director of nutrition for health and development for the World Health Organization, who gave the keynote address. She noted this school district’s nutrition policies, which were forwarded to the provincial level and eventually used in the formation of new guidelines in Ontario, were generating significant buzz at the conference under the Ontario guideline’s name.

Top ‘Bill’ leads his trio to town Community concert audience to tune into sweet sounding strings provided by the Marc Atkinson Trio KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
There must be something in the water around Vancouver Island and the surrounding Gulf Isles. Not only does the tide roll up against spectacular scenery, but the isles boast an uncanny amount of talent breathing in that salt air. And that is especially true when it comes to the music scene, which thrives on the islands just like arbutus trees, misty mornings and Nanaimo bars. One such artist who has been on the forefront of the coastal music scene is guitarist Marc Atkinson, who soon visits Vernon with his trio to perform the second concert of the North Okanagan Community Concert Association’s (NOCCA) 2010-11 season. “I think we move to places like that on purpose,” said Atkinson, who is now based on Hornby Island. “(The islands) are a creative place to be, and we all seem to flock to the same neck of the woods.” Still flush from the success of their last CD, Marc Atkinson Trio IV, the trio has been busy touring around the country, and gaining accolades wherever they go from the Montreal to Vancouver international jazz festivals, to dates in the U.K. and Europe. The album’s lead single, Vorizo (named after Hornby Island’s postal code), earned the group further recognition, taking home second place for best instrumental at the sixth annual International Acoustic Music Awards. “That’s the kind of thing that encourages me to keep playing,” said Atkinson, who when home, has been writing and recording new songs in his Hornby studio to lay down for the next CD. The trio plans to record the new album in January with (Victoria producer) Joby Baker, who was recently in the Okanagan backing up another Gulf Island guitarist, Lester Quitzau. “We’re all close,” said Atkinson, again alluding to the talent that lies west of Vancouver. “I just played on Lester’s wife, Mae Moore’s, latest album.” Although Atkinson’s roots actually go back to northern Ontario, where his parents are from, it’s in Victoria where he first made a name for himself as a guitarist, composer and arranger. Anyone who visited the capital city’s live music haunts in the ’90s may remember his work in the band Loose Gypsies, (later known just as Loose) and later in the Bill Hilly Band. The latter group is now better known as The Bills –– a folkie conglomerate of the who’s who of island instrumentalists –– who last played in Vernon for the NOCCA five years ago. Although The Bills do reunite from time to time, as does his gypsy folk group Caravan, Atkinson’s main focus as of

The Marc Atkinson Trio, with Atkinson, right, rhythm guitarist Michael Armstrong and bassist Joey Smith, play the second NOCCA show of the season at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Nov. 18 and 19. late has been his trio. “I wanted to be the one writing the music and playing the music,” he explained. “I’ve enjoyed all the groups along the way, but the guitar is still my main focus... Most of us have our own careers, but I am always happy to record with any of them again.” The current trio, which has gone through a few changes over the years, consists of newly-added rhythm guitarist Michael Hamilton and bassist Joey Smith, who once toured with the Glenn Miller Orchestra and has played with jazz giants such as Herb Ellis, Cleo Laine, Rosemary Clooney and Charlie Byrd. “Joey and I have been playing together for 10 years from the very beginning of the trio. He is an amazing bass player who is from Tennessee originally,” said Atkinson. “He now lives in Victoria, and in a small city, when a guy likes that
moves into town, you have to book him before everyone else does.” The trio is looking forward to its next booking –– at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre –– which Atkinson says is a perfect soundstage for his group’s acoustic stew. “When I played in Vernon with The Bills, I thought then it would be perfect for the trio to play our classical style there,” he said. “We’re going to take material from our previous four albums and do some classical and improvise with them. This is a change from our usual playlist, which will be perfect for us.” The Marc Atkinson Trio takes the stage at the Performing Arts Centre Thursday, Nov. 18 at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 19 at 1:30 p.m. A NOCCA membership, which allows users to see the full series of concerts, and individual tickets are available at the Ticket Seller box office, 549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.

Symphony gets dizzy Member of Theatre B.C.
Trumpeter leads OSO into some brass, swing and serious fun Morning Star Staff
The Okanagan Symphony is getting dizzy with a variety of big band brass, swing and orchestral pops when it performs a scintillating tribute to the master trumpeters of the last 50 years. Canadian trumpet sensation Mike Herriott joins the OSO on tour through the Okanagan for the evening of jazz standards. The concert comes to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Sunday, Nov. 21. Herriott and his three-piece rhythm section, including Ron Johnston on piano, bassist Ken Lister and big band drummer Craig Scott, will take audiences back to an era where pure jazz and real live acoustics were at the forefront. “They’ll be swinging at the rear but driving the train,” said Herriott. Popular tunes made famous by the great Dizzy Gillespie, Harry James, Louis Armstrong, Doc Severinsen and Duke Ellington will be performed and showcase the diverse range of the brass horn. “With retro pop and the sequence of electronic music created from home computers, more people are gravitating to real life acoustic instruments,” added Herriott. There’s nothing quite like the big full sound of a big band. Seeing a revival of live acoustics is wonderful, and one that can only be experienced live.” Having recently wrapped up the Toronto run of the Broadway musical production of Jersey Boys, based on the compelling story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, Herriott has shared the stage with some of the world’s finest artists. He’s played alongside Maynard Ferguson, Slide Hampton, Phil Nimmons,

Fulton was also represented on the offensive all-star squad by running back Dalton Anderson and lineman Mike Tkatschow. On Dalton Anderson defence, the Maroons also had linebacker Mike Ochoa and defensive backs Greg Hyde and Cole Lawrie selected.
The Maroons, who open the provincial playoffs Friday afternoon versus the Sands Scorpions at Hillside Stadium in Kamloops, went 3-0 to win the league title. Davidson racked up 1,195 yards and 13 touchdowns to jumpstart the Maroons. "He is a great kid, who works extremely hard year round," said Fulton head coach Mike Scheller. "It is an honour for him, and our o-line." Olson also played quarterback for the Maroons. "He was a force at dee all year, and teams had to game-plan for him," said Scheller. "Basically, offences moved away from him all year." In Tier 2 AA action, the Okanagan Mission Huskies stopped the VSS Panthers 19-6 Saturday at Kal School. Colton Klein scored on a two-yard run for the Cats, who twice drove into the red zone and then stalled.
"Our defence played a much better game this week," said VSS coach Tim Thorpe. "We were able to shut down their running game but were beaten a couple of times in the secondary and that was the difference. The boys played hard, hit hard, and never gave up. We were happy with their effort." "We have a tendency of getting costly penalties which put us in first and 20, second and 15 situations which is tough to overcome when we don't have a big play offence." The Cats are in Surrey on Friday for a first-round playoff tilt against the Mainland No. 1 seed Frank Hurt Hornets. "I was able to get a lot of information on them so we will be prepared," said Thorpe. "They're a very good team and it will be a tough game. But if our boys bring their best game and play how they're capable of playing then we have a good chance. I believe in our boys."
Last time the Prince George Spruce Kings were in town, they snapped a nine-game skid with an overtime win against the Vernon Vipers. The Snakes returned the favour Saturday night at Wesbild Centre, stuffing the Sprucies 3-1 to halt their four-game win streak. Rookie winger Aaron Hadley collected first star and a pair of goals, including the winner 1:13 into the third period, to lead the Vernon offence before 1,669 fans. The Castlegar product nearly had his first B.C. Hockey League hat trick as he redirected John Knisleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centring pass just wide on a late odd-man rush. Aaron Hadley â&#x20AC;&#x153;One little stop in front of the net and it would have gone in. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alright, we got the win,â&#x20AC;? smiled the 17-year-old, crediting linemates Knisley and Mike Zalewski for creating scoring chances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;John sets me up all day and Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big guy that provides a lot of pressure and protects the puck well and gives me a lot of great passes too.â&#x20AC;? The Vipers, second in the Interior at 12-5-1-5, host the fourth-place Salmon Arm SilverBacks (14-8) to start a home-and-home series Friday at Wesbild. Vernon has not played the Gorillas since they suffered a pair of 4-1 losses to open the season. After a scoreless first period, the Spruce Kings (6-16-0-2) struck first in the second frame as Nic DeSousa, with Viper d-man Brett Corkey draped all over him in the corner, worked the puck out front to RJ Berra for his team-leading 18th goal. Vernon replied with some solid pressure on the powerplay, with Stevie Weinstein setting up Malcolm Lyles for a barrage of point shots, but netminder Alex Wright (31 saves) stood tall. Shortly after, Wright (third star) flashed his mitt to rob Zalewski on a hard snap shot from the hash marks. Vernon got on the board when Knisley (second star) drew a defender out of position as he skated to the net, setting Hadley (4th) up for a pointblank strike on the powerplay at 12:28. For his second goal, Hadley (5th) stuffed Connor Tiechkoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clearing attempt and batted the rolling puck five-hole on Wright early in the third period. Marcus Basara (6th) completed the Viper attack off a quick transition, cutting in from the right wing and ringing a quick snapshot off the crossbar and in at 6:00.

Ferner praises rebound effort Continued from B1 Said Spruce Kings’ head coach Ed Dempsey: “A real bad turnover led to the second goal, and then just a bad decision, we got ourselves out of position and it ended up in our net (for the third). “We played pretty well for the first two periods... but we just didn’t work as smart as we have to to beat a team like that.” In light of the Vipers’ dismal performance Friday night – they squandered a three-goal lead in the final eight minutes to fall 4-3 in overtime to the Merritt Centennials – head coach Mark Ferner was happy with the rebound performance against a confident team. “The effort was better from start to finish,” he said. “The game was up for grabs. They came in here and played a good road game, but our guys just stuck to the game-plan. We knew if we worked hard we were going to get some opportunities.” The Vipers’ Trevor Fitzgerald and Kings’ Trevor Esau provided some fireworks, trading punches in a third-period tilt. The two combatants had earned coincidental roughing minors a few minutes earlier. Rookie tender Bryton Udy recorded 15 stops for his first BCHL win in four attempts. With Wright pulled for an extra attacker, the 17-year-old Calgary product made a flurry of saves in the dying seconds to preserve the two-goal cushion.

Capital News Centre. Vernon Pee Wee Yellow Jackets took down the undefeated (9-0) West Kelowna Sun Devils 1-0 in an epic defensive battle Sunday. The Devils' previous nine wins had come by an average score of 35-4 including a 38-0 mauling of Vernon earlier in the year. On Sunday, the Bee Hive defence kept the Sun Devils guessing with constant pressure and superb tackling. They only allowed six first downs and a total of 106 yards. "The key to the defence was the exceptional line play of Tyler (Duck) Sova, Tyler Riva, Zach Boring, Kolton Neil, Ethan Ehman and Garret BlackThomas," said Jackets' head coach Ed Huber. "Defensive backs Josh Hyer, Tyler Braun, Issac Olsen, Keith Jones, Weston Vanderveen, Bryce Turner, Thomas Mackiewich, Jarod Leroux, Jordan Scherck and Garret Harman were able to make tackle after tackle when the Kelowna team tried to head to the outside." The game was tied heading into the last three minutes when Vernon fumbled the ball on the Kelowna five-yard line. The Jackets stopped the Devils, giving their offence the ball back on the 10-yard line. Vernon gave the ball twice to running back Issac Olsen, who was stopped inches from the goal line leaving it third and goal from the one. Morgan Nichols punted the ball through the end zone for the win with less than two minutes remaining. The Jackets play the Devils again in Southern Interior Football Conference semifinal action Sunday in Kelowna.

Healing from the inside KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff
Marc S.U. Tey was just eight years old when he discovered the ancient Chinese practice of qi gong. Now 66, Tey is a master of the practice, which he said helped to cure his childhood asthma. Qi gong is a mastery of a mental, physical and emotional feat through ongoing practice and is designed to train or condition the “qi” energy in the body. “If the physical energy is unbalanced, it creates sickness,” said Tey, who offers qi gong for inner growth to his clients at Vital Path Health Centre in Vernon. “Qi gong helps you not only through movement and exercise, but teaches you how to release the emotion, the negative energy, for you to grow spiritually. “Our physical body runs by energy, such as your heart, breathing, even when we move our hands and feet. If we have something blocking energy, that’s where the illness started. Because the energy can’t be seen by the naked eye, sometimes it’s hard to know what has happened with our body.” Tey said a negative mind creates negative emotion, a frequent cause of stress and illness. “If you worry all the time, your body will produce a lot of acid in your stomach, and eventually your energy will be blocked, and you will have problems with your digestion. If you have a lot of negative thought, you create a migraine or vertigo, because your energy on your crown and surrounding area is blocked.” Acupressure can be used on the head to help release the negative energy, along with counselling and meditation. “But sometimes we don’t realize that we create our own illness. If we have negative energy, we will attract the same negative energy. That’s why if we are having a bad day, we should try to become positive, otherwise your whole day is ruined, and everything will go wrong. “Everything depends on the individual, and if they have a strong will to live, that will be easier for them to get help. I only help them find the way towards healing.” Tey calls stress the cause of all illness and helps his clients through a variety of therapies, including psycho immune therapy, therapeutic touch healing and inner growth meditation. “Guidance meditation is a visualization meditation, throwing out all of the negative thought, negative emotion, throwing out all of the garbage from our mind,” he said. “When you become balanced, physically, mentally and emotionally, you will be in harmony with yourself. “Sometimes in life people go through unbalance, which gives them opportunities for growth.” When negative emotions combine with the number of thoughts most people have each day, Tey said it’s no wonder people are suffering from stress and burn-out. “That’s because all of the energy systems in the body are blocked, and the immune system is going down, and illnesses start to come out in the physical body.”

Marc Tey works with a client to help balance their energy and begin the healing process. In an initial consultation, Tey spends two hours with a client, understanding what it is they need, and what therapy would offer them the most benefit. “We work directly on the energy level,” said Tey, adding that he has helped clients with everything from grief to severe arthritis. “With grief, we tell people that it’s the body that dies, not the soul, and we have them send love to the person who died, just unconditional love.” With psycho immuno therapy, Tey will have a client talk freely about personal experiences, from childhood to the present. Through guided meditation and affirmation, the person will be helped to reprogram and to strengthen their immune system. Therapeutic touch healing is a method of treatment using energy healing that Tey expresses through his being and his hands. Tey, who calls himself a healer, said his methods of therapy help people free themselves from what holds them back, adding that holding on to anger and other negative emotion interferes with the healthy flow of energy. “My work is always presented in a loving and gentle way which provides warmth and safety for everyone. I love to
see it when somebody comes to me and I can help them.” Originally from Indonesia, Tey was born into a large family of Chinese descent. He has lived in Vernon since 1978 and founded the Vernon Kung Fu Club, and Mind Quest for Better Living Society. He returned to Asia in 1993, and worked for Veteran Rehabilitation Centre for the Ministry of Defense and Security in Jakarta, Indonesia for a year, helping to rehab soldiers who had returned from combat. Tey also gave lectures at a number of universities and colleges, and presented seminars in Bali and Jakarta. He returned to Vernon in 2003 and has taught qi gong to a number of diverse groups, as well as children with hyperactive, epileptic and emotional problems, and people who have had a stroke, to help bring their energy system back to normal. “Not everyone comes to me with illness, sometimes it’s simply for stress-relief. I will offer anybody a gentle, Oriental approach to stress control.” Tey has studied under five masters and said all of the positive visualization you can master won’t help if you are filled with anger, guilt, dissatisfaction or fear. “You attract what you put out there. Everything that happens to us is for a reason.”

A Big Breakfast Thank You The 2011 Charles Bloom graduating class would like to extend a great big thank you to all who made our annual drive thru breakfast safe grad fundraiser a success. Close to 500 breakfast bags were sold in 3 hours. Without the wonderful community support, fundraisers such as these would not be possible. Thanks to those students, teachers and parents who worked hard to make it possible. A special thanks go to Sheardowns Super A Foods and to Idaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bakery for the use of their facilities. Also to Okanagan Aggregates/Argo Road Maintenance for their generous cash donation; and to Brian Martin and Sun FM, Vernon Morning Star and Lumby Valley Times for their promotion. And thank you to the following for their generous donations. We sincerely apologize if we missed anyone.

Remembering the sacrifices made
T
omorrow is Remembrance Day, a day to remember and honour the thousands of young men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice fighting for the freedom and peace we enjoy in Canada today. It is also a time to honour the thousands of surviving veterans who fought in these same wars and came back maimed, wounded and forever scarred emotionally by the horrors of war. If you know a veteran, Cathi Litzenberger extend your gratitude this week And so today, I want to publicly thank my dad and all the other young men who served overseas during the Second World War. Many, like my dad, headed to Europe as teenagers, returning home aged, their spiritual and emotional health ragged, torn to the edges of sanity by their horrific experiences. The freedom of their youth was forever gone. Their sacrifices have given us, and our children and grandchildren, the gift of living in peace in this great country we call Canada. Remembrance Day is the perfect time to come home from the services to a bowl

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You’ll be able to express yourself in a rather eloquent fashion when you want to, due to your quick thinking. If there is something you desire to promote, now is the time to do it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) It behooves you to include some of the tough jobs in today’s agenda that you’ve been putting off doing, because they’ll be easily managed at this time. Get them done now, while things are running smoothly.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Even though they are likely to come about in a rather roundabout fashion, personal goals can be accomplished. Be sure to keep all of your windows of opportunity open.
Fill-in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once.
1
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your marvelous talent for making compatriots feel extremely important will serve you well. Someone among them will be inclined to offer you something not given to most.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Should you cross paths deliberately or accidentally with persons who have authority and/or clout, you’ll be treated with the utmost respect and consideration. Use it to your advantage. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Lucky you, because there is a concerned friend of yours who is aware of your needs and is operating behind the scenes, trying to help you regarding a matter of extreme importance. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Even though you may be unaware of it, your thinking and suggestions will have a considerable impact on others, especially close friends. What you say will be wise and very helpful. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Something you believe to be quite unsatisfactory is far more pliable than you may have led yourself to believe. Take another hard look at it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Balance can be found once again in a situation that has been throwing you off your mark lately, even though it might take a bit of cooperation from another in order to pull if off. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) It looks like you’re going to get an opportunity to tap into a second channel of earnings. You aren’t likely to hesitate, because it’s from a source that has generated income for you once before.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Don’t hesitate to take a gamble on a goal that requires a calculated risk to pull off. Even though you’ll be rather fortunate, be sure you carefully study all the nuances first. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Conditions are starting to brighten somewhat where your material interests are concerned, and if you play your cards right you can stabilize a trend that will make you feel more secure.

Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes and weight gain. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment includes the use of bioidentical, plant based hormones that closely duplicate hormones your body produces. Natural hormones also slow the aging process.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder Henry G. Stott said, “Engineering is the art of organizing and directing men and controlling the forces and materials of nature for the benefit of the human race.” Playing in a suit contract is the art of organizing, directing and controlling the trumps for the benefit of your partnership. In this example of trump control, how would you plan the play in four spades after West leads first the diamond ace, then the diamond king? Once it became apparent that your side didn’t have a diamond stopper, you reached game in your strong 5-2 fit. This is often the best contract in these circumstances as long as declarer can retain trump
control. True, here five clubs would have been an easy contract. But do you always reach the best spot? You apparently have only two losers: one diamond and one club. However, you have only nine top tricks: five spades and four hearts. If you ruff the second diamond and draw three rounds of trumps, getting news of the 4-2 break, you will turn to clubs -- too late. East will win with his ace and play another diamond, forcing out your last trump. You can cash two hearts and two clubs, but then East will ruff in and cash a diamond trick for down one. Lead a club at trick three. If East ducks his
ace, you will run for home. So East wins and returns the diamond queen. To avoid guesswork, discard a heart or club. Give up one trick to retain trump control. If East leads another diamond, ruff it with dummy’s spade ace, draw trumps, and claim.

William (Bill) Frank Hesketh William (Bill) Frank Hesketh was born in Cupar, Saskatchewan, on September 30th, 1932, and passed away at Vernon Jubilee Hospital on November 5th, 2010, at the age of 78. As he had so often done with our car and boat, he finally ran out of gas himself as he succumbed to both Leukemia and Alzheimer’s. His family was by his side and our last visit was filled with love, some favourite memories, many tears and a few laughs. Bill was predeceased by his parents Frank & Gladys, brother Richard and nephew Rob and is survived by his loving wife Pat of 52 years, sister Florence plus sons David (Diana), Steve (Eileen) and Mark (Karin) and grandchildren Samantha, Jordan, James, Tyler, Jason, Ryan, Sara plus little Dylan as well as many nephews and nieces. In his rebellious youth he left his hometown prematurely to finish high school in Chilliwack under his brother’s supervision. On the train ride west he was introduced to the majesty of the Rocky Mountains, so he jumped off the train at Lake Louise and became a summer horseback guide to destinations like Skoki Lodge and Lake O’Hara. Wilf Carter with his drinking buddies was one of his favorite trail rides each year. Horses, the Rockies, butter tarts and occasionally smoking a pipe were just some of his favourite things. Bill met the love of his life Pat, through downtown Vancouver’s United Church Young Adults Group and they wed on August 23rd, 1958. While working for the John Howard Society (JHS) counseling death row inmates, Bill earned his Diploma in Social Work at UBC. In 1961 Bishop Sovereign led an interdominational team to bring the work of John Howard to the Interior and they sent Bill and his family to Vernon where they settled for good. Bill was best known as the Executive Director for the JHS and Founder of Howard House & Howard Industries. However his community involvement included much more. He helped found the Vernon Boys Club, North Okanagan & Kelowna Social Planning Councils, Vernon chapter of Big Brothers, Vernon Justice Council and People Place. Further to that he was an enthusiastic Rotarian for over 40 years with a stint as President of Vernon Rotary Club and eventually being honoured with the Paul Harris Fellow Award. He served on many Boards including Trinity United Church, Camp Hurlburt, O’Keefe Ranch, Corrections Canada, National Parole Board, Canadian Red Cross, Okanagan Halfway House, Elizabeth Fry Society, Western Canada Wilderness and BC Inter-Faith committee and a few more. One of his crowning achievements was when the Solicitor General asked him to represent BC on a Federal Prison Review Board that led to the closure of the infamous BC Pen. Amongst the many accolades, a few of them stand out. The Canadian Parliament recognized him with the Certificate of Merit, and JHS gave him their first National Award for Humanitarian Service. Recently he was honoured with the naming of Bill’s Place at the Gateway Homeless Men’s Shelter. Retirement brought with it the fulfillment of some big dreams including their home on Lake Okanagan plus a number of big trips around the world. The crowning trip was to southern Africa where Bill and Pat camped in luxury beside a busy watering hole, surrounded by the African wilderness. All of us in the family will remember Bill as our happy Buddha. He was a counselor and a mentor who made a real difference in the lives of those he met. He had a wonderful sense of humour and a great ability to bridge people and their differences. But most of all, he loved his family, especially his grandchildren. We will miss his hugs and his words of wisdom. A Celebration of Bill Hesketh’s life will be held at Trinity United Church at 2pm, Friday November 12th, with a reception to follow. As an expression of sympathy and in lieu of flowers, he would encourage you to support your community with your time, or you can make a donation to either the Rotary Foundation (www.Rotary.org) or a charity of your choice. He would often tell you that YOU can make a difference. Please join us online and share your memories of Bill. Log on to vernonfuneralhome.com and click on his name.

WOOD, Ronald Frederick
August 29, 1984 - November 5, 2010 On Friday morning, November 5th at Hospice House, our beautiful Christy passed into eternity. Her husband Luke was by her side. She had a quiet strength, a deep faith and a heart full of love that touched the lives of all who knew her, even for the briefest time. Christy was 26 years old. Christy is survived by so many who loved her. She will be forever remembered and missed by her husband Luke, her parents Ron and Judy Sedge, her sister Kelsey (Chris) Nudd, her sweet niece Olivia Leigh, Luke's parents Kim and Randi Maygard, her sisters-inlaw Amanda (Eli and Blake) and Stacey (Delilah), her Grandpa and Grandma Melsness of Kelowna, her Grandpa and Grandma Ruark of Armstrong, her Nana Millie of Cowichan Bay, as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Christy was born and grew up in Vernon with her sister, Kelsey. She graduated from Kalamalka Secondary in 2002 and continued her education at UBCO where she graduated with her Bachelor of Business Administration and began her accounting career with KPMG. Christy married her husband, Luke, in 2007 and they settled in Salmon Arm. They shared a deep sense of love for their faith, their families and their friends and Luke's love for Christy only grew stronger through her illness. They say there is a connection between Math and Music and maybe that's true because Christy excelled at both. She loved playing the piano and had a beautiful voice. Her specialty was harmony and many people whom she had sung with said that 'she made them sound good', inconspicuously, in the background, her talent allowed them to shine. Christy's skill in math likely mirrored that of a musician. Whether it was notes or numbers, Christy had the ability to see the big picture and knew how to get there. In December 2009 Christy passed her accounting exam on the ďŹ rst try and in May 2010 earned her C.A. designation. We are grateful for every day we had with Christy and are especially grateful to the Hospice House family who treated her with compassion and dignity and dedicated themselves to making her comfort their ďŹ rst concern. A Celebration of Christy's Life will be held at the Vernon Alliance Church (2601 43 Avenue, Vernon BC) at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday November 13, 2010. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, friends may wish to make a donation to the North Okanagan Hospice Society (3506 27 Avenue, Vernon, BC V1T 1S4) or to School District #22 Vernon (1401 15 Street, Vernon, BC V1T 8S8) where a memorial Bursary is being established in Christy's name.

After a long struggle with his health, Ronald Frederick Wood passed away peacefully at Hospice House, Vernon, British Columbia on November 4, 2010. Ron will be dearly missed and forever remembered by his loving wife, Helen, to whom he was married for ďŹ ftyone years; his children, Bob (Giselle) Wood, Michele (Mark) Carey; his grandchildren, Jon (Nici) Carey, Adam Carey, Malory Wood and Tara Newby and ďŹ ve great grandchildren. The son of a golf pro, Ron found his calling early in life. He started his professional golf career at Langara Golf Club, later with his father at Shaunessey Golf and Country Club and ending at the Vernon Golf Club. In the last years of his life he was quick to pick up hobbies. He was a ďŹ sherman, painter, woodworker, vintage car enthusiast and gardener. In keeping with Ronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes there will be no service. The family will have a private memorial tea. Those wishing to do so may make a memorial donation in Ronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory to North Okanagan Hospice Society, 3502 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 27th Avenue, Vernon, BC V1T 1S4.

One family’s proud tradition of service by Gilbert Dyer Lest We Forget — three of the most powerful words of the last 100 years. This is a story about some very brave people who happened to be part of my family. This story originated in Winnipeg, Manitoba, at the start of hostilities in Europe, August 1914 which led to the 1914-1919 World War. Such a horrific war, that it was hoped that it would end all wars. Over, 600,000 soldiers were the total Canadian Force. This story is about some men who joined up in Winnipeg and served with the Canadian Expeditionary Force, as part of the First Canadian Contingent.

Volunteers had come from all across Canada. They assembled in their hometowns, grouped according to their ability and knowledge, then were gathered at the staging centre in Valcartier, Quebec. Later, they were shipped to Salisbury Plain, England, where they were formed into units to make up the battalions of the first and second divisions, etc. They received more extensive training and some were quickly moved to the front in Europe as part of the massive Allied presence.
The Winnipeg Free Press got hold of the story and wrote a feature article about them. It read “Kerr Contingent for Overseas.” The family was very proud of the four boys, John, William, James and Peter. Not very often does one family have four sons in uniform at the same time. They all saw action many times.
Lest We Forget! Remember the Sacrifice The Gift of Freedom
To pursue the outcome of the Kerr Contingent — Uncle John Kerr and Aunt Clelia had two sons. Buddy was too young to enlist but George served in North Africa and Italy during the Second World War. He was with the Canadian Heavy Artillery. Uncle John and Aunt Clelia took in 133 foster children over the years. The government of Saskatchewan honoured them for their diligence. James never married, therefore did not have children. He worked for the railway and was a designer/fabricator. When the King and Queen toured Canada in 1939 Uncle James helped design and build the royal engine and coaches.
The youngest, Peter, was killed May 5, 1918. He had been wounded and was in hospital but it was destroyed by enemy shelling, most were killed. There were many serious battles during the First World War — the Somme, Mons, Mount Sorrel, St. Eloi, Hill 70, Lens, Ypres and Passchendaele, to name a few.
William Kerr and Aunt Nellie had four children, Sheila, Gordon who was in the Air Force, Peter Jr. in the Navy and Jean in the Army in the Second World War. Uncle William was an engineer and was an engineering instructor and superintendent during the construction of the power plant at Churchill, Manitoba. Peter Kerr Sr. died in the First World Year 1920.

It was a great loss. Uncle Gilbert had died earlier from the effects of the First World War.
Grandfather, James Kerr, and grandmother, Janet, brought their six children to Canada from Scotland around the turn of the century and settled in Winnipeg. There were four brothers and two sisters. The family lived at 555 Broadway Avenue and all worked. When the First World War started, all the boys left their jobs, like many others, and joined the Canadian Army as infantry. I am not sure of the particular unit but the 43rd Cameron Highlanders sounds familiar.
Of course, there was the biggest battle of all, Vimy Canadians finally took Vimy Ridge, thanks to Arthur Currie and the great Canadian general’s planning. All four brothers were at Vimy. Many attempts by other Allied armies had failed. It had rained for days, everyone was up to their waist in mud. The engineers had dug tunnels 24/7, right up to the German lines. The surprise took place starting at 5:30 a.m., April 9, 1917 and ended April 12, 1917. The Germans did not know the Canadians were right under their noses. That was the proudest day of the war for Canada and the Canadian Army. The victory came at a huge cost — 3,598 died and more than 70,000 troops were wounded. That battle distinguished Canada as a country.
Lest We Forget
during the First World War. When the Second World War erupted, the HMS Hood, being the largest battleship ever launched, was quickly sent into the war, right at the outbreak. During the war, in a battle with the German battleship Bismarck, the Hood was hit in the ammunition hold and sunk, killing all but three of the 1,418 crew members.
My father, John Henry Dyer, came to Winnipeg from England at the turn of the century as well. He joined up Sept. 24, 1914. He was working in the General Hospital, planning to become a doctor, so joined the Medical Corps, 3rd Field Ambulance, 1st Division. He had never met my mother, the sister of the four Kerr brothers before the war, but while serving with the Medical Corps in Europe happened to treat my mother’s four brothers for one thing and another, including schrapnel, wounds or gas exposure.
The last member of the Kerrs was my mother, Agnes, who married John H. Dyer and had one son, Gilbert Jr. My father not only served in the Medics in the First World War, he enlisted in the Veterans’ Guard during the Second World War. Gilbert Sr. died young and did not marry. Our families are very proud of all the members who stood up when needed by Canada in time of crisis. The only people in our families who did not serve were either the elderly or too young. To bring these stories to a conclusion, there are a couple of little-known topics to add that might be of interest. First, to do with Peter Kerr Sr. In 1911 Peter was a member of B.C. Alpine Climbing Association and surveyed mountains in the Kamloops area. There areA two mountains near Kamloops, Mount Peter, named for him, and Mount Paul. Peter also discovered a passage through the area which is named Peter Pass.
Lastly, the most terrible thing happened to a large group of men who had been at war for some five years of hell. These men were on a trainload of Canadian soldiers being taken to their point of enlisting for discharge in late 1919. Some of the group were walking wounded, others were shell shocked. The train was heading to Winnipeg from Year 1912. Seated in the front, my Grandfather The troops and medics would move from front to Halifax. They were told to stop at Kenora, Ontario.

This was necessary due to were told that socialists/Communists had taken battle strategies and/or injuries which changed over the City of Winnipeg, the whole city was on from day to day. My father’s brother, who I am named after, was in the strike and people were marching in the streets. Every soldier who was Royal Navy during the First World War. He was an engineer and served to detrain in Winnipeg was handed a rifle and ammunition and they were on the HMS New Zealand and the HMS Ceres. In 1920, the battleship divided into small groups and given orders that when Winnipeg was HMS Hood was launched. Gilbert was chosen to help man the Hood. The reached they had to spread out in the city and take back Winnipeg and 1,418-man crew was picked from all over the British Empire to sail the restore law and order. Hood to all parts in the empire which were large enough and had the facilities for the Hood. The crew was selected from those sailors who showed exceptional bravery and valour during the many battles and rescues that took place
What a heck of a homecoming for these men. They were told they had to do it or they would not be discharged. This is a true story told to me by my father and uncles. What a way to be welcomed home.

Dick Callahan Morning Star Staff Dick Callahan and his friend were young men in the north of England looking for adventure in the early 1950s. His friend said Canada, he said New Zealand, and he won the coin toss. So it was then that Callahan found himself working in New Zealand in 1952.
while this is called a peace keeping action now, it was in fact war. There were 516 Canadians killed, as well as soldiers from around the world. “We were a deterrent to the North Koreans, who had agents all over South Korea who knew where all our positions were. The American presence there was and is a big deterrent,” said Callahan, who later moved to the honour guard in Seoul. “Was it worth it? In the end, yes. The difference in North Korea and South Korea now is night and day. South Korea shows how a democracy can start and flourish. I think the Americans have done a hell of job over there,” he said.
“I was watching a movie and the newsreel showed Korea. I looked at the screen and walked out to a recruiting office,” he said. He was an experienced soldier, having served in the British Army 1946-48. He was stationed with the military police in Trieste in Northern Italy where there were concerns about the Communist government in neighbouring Yugoslavia.
He keeps up his interest in history and current affairs and said that without the war of intervention the Communists would have expanded over the whole peninsula and threatened Japan and the rest of the world. He is pleased to see that South Korea and Japan are now modern, prosperous countries.
He did his training for the New Zealand Army, including artillery training, and was sent to Korea, where most of his time with the 16th Field Regiment was spent as a clerk because he had done some clerical work in civilian life. He had to keep many of the records in handwriting because typewriters were scarce. “We took a lot of pride that we had volunteered to go and the Koreans were amazed that people from around the world would volunteer to go and fight there. It was like stepping back in time to the seventh or eighth century and the cities and countryside had been damaged by the fighting. We did not have much to do with the Korean people because we could not speak their language,” said Callahan. His unit spent time in a blocking position, which meant they had to be ready to pack up and move out in half an hour if the enemy moved. He said that
“I think there is a lack of knowledge of what happened in Korea and other wars but Afghanistan is bringing it back. We have Canadian men and women at war now. We have to think about that. I think people do because the response to the Poppy Campaign is growing every year.” Callahan came to Canada in 1955 and worked on provincial survey crews and highway construction around B.C. He and his wife moved to Vernon in 1989 where he has been active in the Korea Veterans’ Association and the Royal Canadian Legion, as a member and past president. He was one of the organizers of the indoor Remembrance Day Services which now attract many people.
Blake Lodge
Never forget the men & women who fought for our freedom.
Bill Inglis
Morning Star Staff
Morning Star Staff
Blake Lodge’s most vivid memory of his four years in the Third Division 7th Brigade Regina Rifle Regiment was when he first saw France.
Bill Inglis was born in Vernon, graduated from Clarence Fulton School and was working in a drugstore in 1942.
“I hit the beach in Normandy with the regiment and we took Calais. We worked with the French Underground, men and women who did some dangerous work helping us,” he said.
“Just about everyone was going in the forces and one day a friend said to me, ‘Let’s go join up,’ so we went down to the recruiting office in Vernon and joined the Army,” he said.
He had been driving truck in Prince Rupert in 1942 when he went to Vancouver intending to join the Navy. He ended up joining the Army and was sent to England where he joined the Regina Rifles. By Christmas 1944, his regiment was into Holland. “We made our own fun, just having a few drinks and some packages from home. Then when we hit the Leopold Canal it was like another D-Day. The fighting was hard but the Dutch people received us so well,” said Lodge. “I met some of the members of the Dutch Army when they were in Vernon doing training and one of them told me that when he was a school child, he was assigned a Canadian serviceman’s grave to look after until he finished high school. Then another student would be assigned to care for that grave. The Dutch children know more about history than the Canadian ones do. Maybe they should teach more of it in the schools. “i was lucky enough to make it to the end of the war and come home but I lost 11 good friends who are still over there. We had a job to do and we did it.” Lodge was discharged in 1946 and went into construction as an operating engineer and moved to Vernon in 1995. His grandson is in the Calgary Tank Corps and was wounded in his second tour of duty in Afghanistan. Lodge is active in the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 25 Vernon. “A lot of people don’t realize what the Legion does for the community. We help veterans and seniors and we do a lot for youth, including cadets and bursaries. We do a lot of good and we feel privileged to be able to serve the community in this way.”

“We did our basic training in Canmore, Alberta, and it was different all right. We learned a lot and we got to know a lot of friends in the service.”

He did more training in Calgary. “When it was time to go overseas, they wouldn’t take me because I weighed only 113 pounds and you had to weigh 121 pounds to go overseas. It was terrible. All my friends were going. They put me in B category and said I could stay in Calgary and play in a band or I could go in the Service Corps. I had never played an instrument in my life so I chose the Service Corps.” The Service Corps was responsible for hauling all the rations, ammunition and other supplies for the service men. After all, somebody had to pass the ammunition and the old saying that an army marches on its stomach was still true. The Service Corps was a vital part of the success of the forces. Inglis was sent to Farmborough, England and then to France in 1943. “It was hard and there were some pretty sad times that made you grow up sooner but you tried to make the best of the situation and you made some good friends,” he said. “The worst thing that I saw was the little kids starving. We would give them our leftover bread. Young people today have no idea what the war was like but there is increased interest with more requests for veterans to speak in the schools.” He was discharged in 1946 and came back to Vernon where he worked at the Vernon Fruit Union until 1989.
