Arena replacement plan on thin ice RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Minor hockey parents and players hope Civic Arena can outlast a bureaucratic log jam. The Regional District of North Okanagan has abandoned plans for a Nov. 15 borrowing referendum on a replacement ice sheet for Civic Arena because there wasn’t sufficient time for the legal process. “We won’t be able to provide the current level of service without Civic Arena,” said Richard Frater, Greater Vernon Minor Hockey Association president. “If Civic becomes not operational, we won’t be able to do that.” Civic Arena is 77 years old and there is a concern major capital

issues could lead to the facility suddenly not being available for ice users. RDNO has not received the required provincial approval needed to move the service establishment and loan authorization bylaws to referendum. “The province has raised the concern about RDNO having a referendum and borrowing for a capital expansion of a facility owned by the City of Vernon,” said David Sewell, chief administrative officer. The regional district had proposed borrowing up to $13 million for a 400-seat, NHL-sized ice sheet at the north end of Kal Tire Place. “There will have to be another direction. We need a process to replace Civic Arena before it fails

endum. Sawatzky isn’t concerned that Nov. 15’s civic election could lead

to a new group of politicians who delay the process further. “The reports and facts speak for themselves. No political stance will replace the fact that Civic Arena has become too expensive to operate and could fail,” he said. Discussions about process could occur at the next Greater Vernon Advisory Committee session. “There will be options presented at GVAC on what the next steps are. We believe the proposal still has merit,” said Juliette Cunningham, GVAC chairperson. While officials determine what to do, Frater insists the needs of minor hockey must be a priority. “I’m hoping they (GVAC) will come up with a plan to tackle the issue,” he said.

Run raises $46,420 S

Morning Star Staff

porting fuchsia feather boas, rose runners and numerous other pink accessories, an army of women, men, children and dogs took great strides towards a cure Sunday. More than 350 participants in Vernon joined together at the annual Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure to help create a future without breast cancer by raising $46,420 and contributing to the regional total of $3.168 million at all nine run sites across B.C. “Today thousands of Canadians joined together to inspire hope by participating in the CIBC Run for the Cure,” said Wendy Slavin, CEO of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation - BC/Yukon Region. “Whether walking or running, volunteering or donating, these individuals united to form a community of support. And this support is bringing us one step closer to our vision of creating a future without breast cancer.” While each person involved is worthy of recognition, some special awards were handed out to some of the top fundraisers. Tara Limb earned the determination award as the top individual fundraiser, raising $1,215. The 17 members of Team Kal Tire collectively

raised $2,715, earning them the Corporate Spirit Team Challenge Award. Meanwhile the Women’s Team Challenge Award goes to the Swan Lake Sweethearts, who raised $1,285. With just four team members, the Save A Rack team raised $1,665, earning them the Friends and Family Team Challenge Award. The fundraising efforts and support of 127,000 participants and volunteers in 65 communities across Canada raised over $25 million, to be used toward reducing the incidence and mortality rates of breast cancer and helping support the breast cancer community. “On behalf of Team CIBC, our thanks to all of the participants, the donors, and especially to the volunteers who make this event possible,” said Christina Kramer, Executive Vice-President, CIBC and CIBC’s Executive Run Sponsor. “Each year we are inspired by the thousands of dedicated Canadians who come together to help create a future without breast cancer.” Teams are reminded that fundraising continues until Oct. 31. Those interested in supporting a future without breast cancer can do so at CIBC, in person to any of the registered participants or online at www.runforthecure. com

Arrest occurs in assault case richard rolke Morning Star Staff

An arrest has been made in an alleged assault at a Vernon business. On Oct. 1, an individual was taken into custody in relation to an incident at Monashee’s Bar and Grill Sept. 21 in which a 23-year-old man was reportedly punched and kicked in the head. “Early indications were they didn’t know each other,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson, who would not speculate on the cause of the Gord Molendyk assault. “Fights happen around bars but not to this extent.” The victim, who was found unconscious, was transferred to Kelowna General Hospital with serious head injuries. “He continues to receive treatment,” said Molendyk. The Vernon RCMP continue to seek witnesses to the incident and they can call 250-545-7171. “The RCMP want to thank the public for their assistance with the investigation,” said Molendyk. “Some people did call and come forward.” Lucas Slizak, 23, of Vernon, was charged with aggravated assault. He has been released on conditions of no contact with the victim, obeying a curfew and abstaining from alcohol.

Cocaine seized richard rolke Morning Star Staff

A quantity of cocaine has been taken off the streets of Vernon. On Oct. 3, police officers wrapped up an investigation into alleged drug trafficking. “The investigation has been going on for several months,” said Gord Molendyk, Vernon RCMP spokesperson. As part of the case, a 26-year-old White Rock resident was arrested in his vehicle, and cocaine and heroin packaged for sale were located. The resulting seizure led to the search of a home in the 3500 block of 43rd Avenue, where a 23-yearold Vernon man was arrested. Inside the house was cocaine packaged for sale and a large sum of cash. “Both men were released and they are expected to appear in court Nov. 13 to answer to charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking,” said Molendyk.

North Okanagan real estate remains strong. There were overall real estate sales of 188 units in September, up 24.5 per cent from 151 units during the same month in 2013. Residential sales for the month were up 27.3 per cent over last year, with 168 units sold compared to 132. There were 92 single-family home sales, up 26 per cent from 73 in September 2013. “The North Okanagan remains a stable market for both buyers and sellers,” said Darcy Griffiths, Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board president. “Despite tightening supply, the price of singlefamily homes is fairly stable in most areas, and mortgage rates remain at historic lows, so there are great opportunities for buyers and sellers to get into the market.”

Water quality raises concern richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Concerns about water quality continue to boil over in one Spallumcheen neighbourhood. About 40 people crowded into council chambers Monday to push for action on the Steele Springs water system because of excessive nitrates. “People are buying bottled water on a daily or weekly basis or they are drinking the water (from the tap) and that’s not acceptable,” said Al Price, with the Steele Springs Todd York Waterworks District. “The aquifer is a lifeline for up to 300 people in Steele Springs and the Hullcar Valley. The degradation of the aquifer has to stop.” It’s believed the nitrates may be related to livestock operations in the area. “We’re not saying anything about dairy farmers in general or dairy farmers specifically,” said Brian Upper, with the waterworks district. “The entire area should be in a zone that would be considered to be environmentally sensitive.” There is a do not drink advisory for the area and that has financial implications for anyone trying to

sell their homes. “When potential buyers hear of the do not drink order, they walk away,” said Price, adding that high nitrate levels also threaten farms’ organic status. Because it could take years for the aquifer quality to improve on its own, the waterworks district has suggested a deep well could be a short-term solution to ensure water supply for residents. The Steele Springs issue, as well as concerns with other utilities, was raised by Spallumcheen council at the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities conference. “The (provincial) ministers are aware and they’re talking to each other because this issue isn’t going away,” said Coun. Todd York of managing longterm large-scale farms and the possible impact on water. “This has become a hot button issue. We seem to have a greater voice. We are at the top of the queue.” Coun. Christine Fraser says the goal is to find a solution that works for everyone. “No one is looking to shut anything down,” she said of farm operations. “We’re going to make sure this gets fixed. We’re cautiously optimistic.” Another option is to hook the area up to Armstrong’s water source but because of the distance, that could be costly.

Spallumcheen reviews farm taxes said Coun. Christine Fraser of concerns that agricultural taxes had skyrocketed. The township raised the class nine tax rate by more than double in 2014 to 11.179 from 5.1531 to counteract the effects of the provincial government’s Bill 8 which provided farmers with $120,000 of tax relief in 2013.

A contentious tax policy could be changed in Spallumcheen. Council will consider lowering the 2015 farm tax rate to the amount affected by the impact of Bill 8 based on discussions with the provincial government. “We’ve been working on this the whole time,”

Prior to Bill 8, if a resident had farm and out buildings in the operation of class nine land, farmers were given an assessment exemption to a maximum of $50,000. Bill 8 removed the flat rate of $50,000, going instead to a rate that was either going to be the greater number of up to $50,000 or 87.5

per cent of the exemption. The provincial decision cost Spallumcheen about $120,000 in farm tax revenue. “It impacted our community so much more than anyone else,” said Fraser of the fact that Spallumcheen has large tracts of farm land and no commercial area for a tax base. As a result of the lost revenue, taxes for class nine properties were increased. “We don’t know how to recover this kind of money,” said Coun. Todd York. Township officials confronted Community Services Minister Coralee Oakes with the implications of Bill 8 at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Whistler. “We’re very confident that now that they’re aware of what they did to us, and only us, they will rectify the situation,” said York.

Are You Taking Care of Your Shoulder Pain? Discover a New Option. Shoulder aches and pains are common, but because our arms seldom get a rest, these aches often become chronic injuries: knots, spasms, frozen shoulder and tendonitis. Many of us learn to live with it and think, “It’s a part of my lifestyle or job”. Many of us have had chronic tendonitis, making it difficult to lift a carton of milk or wash our hair. And many of us have exhausted a variety of therapies.

DR. RYAN HARRIS

Therapy, the only therapy I found to get rid of my pain and heal my injury. Shockwave, developed to break up kidney stones, can break down scar tissue and stimulate new blood vessel growth, promoting proper muscle function and restarting the healing process.

It is in those injuries that have lingered for months or years where shockwave shines. If you have chronic shoulder injuries, don’t give up hope. If I had, I would not be in practice today.

Glenmore Chiropractic

Most therapies have an affect only on new injuries that are days to weeks old. Once scar tissue forms and healing stops (chronic), we are at the mercy of the injury. Over and over in my practice I hear, “I have been dealing with this injury for months or years and tried everything. Nothing has worked… what do I do?”

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association 2005, shockwave therapy had a 91% success rate for the treatment of calcific Rotator Cuff Tendonitis. Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

I tell them about the tennis elbow and shoulder tendonitis I had, both of which nearly caused me to shut down my practice. I talk about the multitude of therapies I tried to no avail. Then I talk about Shockwave

Passing the puck

he Regional District of North Okanagan announced Monday that plans are being shelved for a Nov. 15 referendum to borrow $13 million for a replacement ice sheet for Civic Arena. The reason given in a press release was, “At the present time, RDNO has not received the required approval from the inspector of municipalities needed to move the service establishment and loan authorization bylaws to referendum for the expansion of the Vernon and district Richard Rolke multi-use facility.” If you read between the lines, the provincial government’s bureaucracy is slower than molasses in January. But further investigation provides more insight into the situation. “The province has raised concern about RDNO having a referendum and borrowing for a capital expansion of a facility owned by the City of Vernon,” said David Sewell, the regional district’s chief administrative officer. Now for a quick reminder on what’s been happening politically in Greater Vernon over the last few years. All of the jurisdictions decided to restructure recreational services to apparently improve oversight and create efficiencies. This led to RDNO handing over legal title of its facilities, including Kal Tire Place, to the City of Vernon. The city would operate the facilities and Coldstream and the electoral areas would provide funding to ensure access for their residents. At the same time, the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee investigated the longevity of the aging Civic Arena and decided the preferred route would be constructing a new ice sheet at the north end of Kal Tire Place.

Hockey users and residents were consulted and the process towards a Nov. 15 referendum began. Now flash forward to Monday’s announcement that there won’t be a referendum this fall. What this reveals is the Ministry of Community Development questions how the regional district can borrow money for an asset it does not own. It would be similar to me asking the bank for cash so I can use my neighbour’s pool. One has to wonder about the process that was followed. Prior to getting minor hockey’s hopes up about a new ice sheet, did RDNO extensively consult with the ministry about the proposed borrowing bylaw and any potential complications? If it did, was there any advance warning that borrowing money for a facility no longer owned by the regional district could be problematic? I’m no expert, but I have a mortgage and it’s obvious that ownership and borrowing are generally linked. The other question arising out of all of this is the future of Greater Vernon’s restructured recreational service, which was hammered out after countless hours of meetings and, one would assume, costly legal advice. If Coldstream and electoral area taxpayers can’t apparently pump money into a new ice sheet, can they assist with upgrades at the Vernon Recreation Complex or any other facility they use that’s owned by Vernon? RDNO officials have stated options will now be considered and constructing a new ice sheet remains a priority. “We need a process to replace Civic Arena before it fails catastrophically,” said director Rob Sawatzky. That may be the case, but let’s hope our elected officials have their ducks in a row the next time.

The number of women, and men, who are surviving breast cancer is only growing. It used to be that at events like the Run for the Cure, there would only be a small handful of survivors leading the parade in their pink T-shirts, while a swarm of white event shirts followed in support. But the lineup of survivors is only growing. It’s inspiring for anyone to see more and more people kicking cancer’s butt, and not just breast cancer, but many forms of cancer. But it is also due to the fact that there has been an increase in the number of new cases over the last 30 years, according to the Canadian Cancer Society. An estimated 191,300 new cases of cancer are expected to be diagnosed in Canada this year. More than half of those will be lung, breast, colorectal and prostate cancers. Such sobering statistics may seem scary, but there is a reason, and some of it is positive (as positive as anything can be when it comes to the nasty c-word). The growth can largely be attributed to a growing and aging population, rather than to an increase in cancer risk (Canadian Cancer Statistics 2014). Some of the increase is also related to increased detection, which can be life-saving. Breast cancer continues to be the most common cancer diagnosis in women in Canada over the age of 20 and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in Canadian women, after lung cancer, according to the CBCF. However, fewer women in Canada are dying from breast cancer today than in the past. Breast cancer deaths have decreased by 43 per cent since they peaked in 1986 due to earlier detection through regular mammography screening, advances in screening technology, and improved treatments.

Return volunteer firefighters

hen we first moved to Vernon 13 years ago, we were told the property we bought was serviced by a volunteer fire hall. At first, we were both a bit skeptical about the level of protection we would be afforded but late events vindicated our choice. Late on a dry day in August in 2004, one of our younger neighbours attempted to weed the garden close to her cedar clad house using a tiger torch This course of action met with predictable results. The main fire truck took little time in arriving and setting up. Then, the most amazing thing happened. Firefighters, seemingly appeared out of thin air. The blaze was quickly extinguished and events returned to the normal Sunset Properties pace. I was intrigued by the events I witnessed, and started to ask questions about how this little fire department worked. First of all, I found it was crewed by locals that had received a lot of training in fire protection. Although, I’m certain they could have and, would have fought a fire in Vernon, their main considerations were the distinct threats that faced the Landing. To this end, they were specially equipped. Not only did they have the usual kit of most

fire departments, but they also had material and expertise for fighting fires in the interface and the lakefront. Unique equipment such as a water-pumping fireboat provided protection to lakeside properties and evacuation potential as well. A large 4X4 truck was optimally equipped to work with Forestry in interface fires. Not only that, but we paid less than urban Vernon for this five-star protection. Later, we were forced by council, to pay the same rates as the rest of Vernon - fairness was suggested!, But who cared, we had the best little

roaD lines As we all know, once we get into winter, the highway lines virtually disappear making it extremely difficult to see where you are in the travel lanes. I contacted the Ministry of Transportation and asked them why they don’t repaint the lines prior to the onset of winter. I was told it is very expensive and as a result they only paint them once a year. If this is the case, I suggested they paint the lines just prior to winter when it is dark at 4 p.m. instead of the spring when we get much more daylight and have a chance to dodge the bad drivers that hog the centre of the road. Of course this was ignored. I travel the Coquihalla four times a week and they finally showed up to paint the lines in the late spring with something that resembles latex paint and is hard to see in the rain as there is no reflectivity to it. Four days after painting the lines and

fire service in the Okanagan and we could share, Later I found out, as an elected officer of the Okanagan Landing and District Association, that the gang at the fire hall was the heart and soul of the community as well. They helped maintain Paddlewheel Park and the hall, and endowed the local elementary school with scholarships and educational equipment. Then, disaster in an in-camera vote. The fire hall was turned over to the urban Vernon Fire Department. However, we were always confident that we would get a rough equivalency to what we had had before in terms of fire protection. So

painting right through the potholes and cracks in the road, they showed up with some useless invention called spray-patching which I gather is some sort of mixture of oil and sand. Of course they spray-patched all of the lines into oblivion and a few days later, they had to come and repaint the lines. Shortly after repainting the lines, the ministry decided to do a little paving going up to the snow shed and just beyond, and also some from the summit toward the old toll booth. Of course, all of the newly painted lines disappeared again. So out they come again and repaint the lines for the third time in a very short period. Now the useless spray-patching is already starting to show small holes and will soon be large potholes when winter sets in. So we will once again be dodging holes and trying to see where the lanes are as they will all disappear just like every winter.

now, if what Mr. Phillips' assertions are true, and I have no reason to doubt them, we are left with much less protection than we started with. To the council, I would recommend a re-appraisal of your decision. November, fast approaches and the right thing to do presents itself now. By the way, I asked a former Vernon councillor if the idea of disbandment of the Okanagan Landing Fire Department had come up before. He said yes, but former councils thought that when people bought in the Landing, they understood what their level of fire protection was, and they would have to live with it. His reasoning was that if Vernon took on fire protection in the Landing, they would have to make it equal or better to the best they could receive in Vernon itself. This would mean a full-time, adequately staffed hall. Anything less than this would more than likely attract lawsuits by either the Okanagan Landing residents or their insurance companies should large claims occur. It’s now past the time to do the right thing. Let's get our volunteers back. Bill Dunsmore

polson park I would urge all citizens of Vernon and surrounding areas to enjoy Polson Park before the frost bites. The groundskeepers' botanical exhibits are works of art. They are at their best right now. Please enjoy. Mike sturdy

They will soon be out repainting the lines on Highway 1 into Vancouver as they do every year, at least two times, even though for the most part it isn’t needed. Also on the new highway between Winfield and Oyama, the ministry paid to have rumble strips put into the road north and southbound and now they have paid someone to go and pave over most of the rumble strips for some unknown reason. Money well spent. I just wanted to let people know how wisely the Ministry of Transportation spends our money and due to the large amount of money wasted we can’t get our roads properly paved and maintained in the winter. This is just one area so I wonder how many more costly mistakes the ministry makes throughout B.C. Dave Jones

Blues master Harpdog Brown to wail Saturday AMAnDA MorAzAin For The Morning Star

The Vernon Jazz Club will be getting down and bluesy as the Harpdog Brown Band takes the stage Saturday night. The band will be covering all the classic blues men from the mid-‘50s such as Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson, Jimmy Reed and Howlin’ Wolf, as well as performing some originals. Harpdog will be joined by Art Edmonds on guitar, Scott Grant on drums, and world class bassist Dennis Marcenko. Hailing from Edmonton, Brown has been a part of the Canadian blues scene since 1982. With six albums under his belt, he has toured throughout Canada, northwestern U.S. and Germany. His album, Home is Where the Harp Is, won the coveted Muddy award for the best NW blues release of the year and was also nominated for a Juno for best blues release in Canada. Another CD, Naturally, was voted #1 Canadian blues album of 2011 by The Blind Lemon Survey. Brown has recently released his latest creation, What It Is, which Holger Peterson, host of CBC Radio’s Saturday Night Blues, coins as “Harpdog’s best work yet,” adding, “Harpdog is a great blues man. He is in total command on stage.” And it’s not only Peterson who has taken notice of Harpdog’s band. West Coast Entertainment Magazine writes: “They play the blues naturally and without gimmicks or pre-

You won’t find a better blues band in Canada.” When asked what drew him into the world of blues, Brown replies, “I guess I stumbled into the blues by way of The (Rolling) Stones.

Like most kids my age it was The Stones or The Beatles; me it was The Stones.” “The further I looked into the music and the source of what The Stones were and came from, the closer I came to the blues. I still love The Stones, but man, the blues is

where my heart is, and always will be.” Since those early days, the blues has become the driving force in Brown’s life. “Well, I believe in the power of blues. Love and humour combined, that is a powerful force. I guess you can say, in some ways, I don’t think of myself as merely a musician, but more of a businessman, and people are my business, music is my vehicle, and blues is to me the truth of life to those who will lend an ear,” said Brown. Joining Harpdog Brown is Edmonds, a young guitarist with a rare touch and grip on the old approach to the blues. Since beginning working together in 2013, he has played alongside Brown in an electric duo as well as all of Brown’s other ensembles. Grant is the owner and operator of the Modern Drum Room in Kelowna. He has played with Grammy nominated artist John Lee Sanders, Maple Blues award winner David Vest, Grammy award winner Donald Ray Johnson, and Juno and American Music Award winner Alfie Zappacosta. Marcenko is a world-class bassist who has been in the music business for more than 40 years. He has toured and recorded with both Colin James and k.d. lang. You can check out the band at harpdogbrown.com. The Harpdog Brown Band takes the stage at the Vernon Jazz Club (3000-31st St.) Saturday at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:15 p.m. Tickets are $20 at the Bean Scene, Bean to Cup, and at www.vernonjazz.ca.

Yanofsky is no longer a secret Morning Star Staff

From her auspicious start as the youngest headliner in the history of the Montreal International Jazz Festival at the age of 12, Nikki Yanofsky has covered plenty of territory over the last eight years. She has topped both jazz and pop charts, performed with orchestras and big bands, and sold out festivals and major theatres around the world. In January, Yanofsky heads out on her first cross-Canada tour, which brings her to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Jan. 31. Yanofsky is probably best known for singing the national anthem at the opening ceremonies at the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games, and also the theme song, I Believe, used as the official promotional song for both the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver and the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Now 20, she has worked with luminaries such as Herbie Hancock, Phil Ramone, Will.i.am, Wyclef Jean, and Stevie Wonder and now, under the guidance of famed producer Quincy Jones, she has introduced her own captivating new sound on her second studio album, Little Secret. Executive produced by Jones, with producer Rob Kleiner, the album is said to be a crossover of jazz and pop and blends retro charm with a contemporary sound. However, Yanofsky has not forgotten her roots. After showing her prodigiousness gifts as a jazz scatter, said to be done with dead-on pitch and articulation, Yanofsky continues to

pay ode to her heroine, Ella Fitzgerald. She released her first album, Ella … of Thee I Swing, in 2008. It went gold in Canada and was nominated for two Juno awards, making Yanofsky the youngest multipleJuno nominee in history. On her first studio album, Nikki (Decca, 2010), produced by multi-Grammy winner Phil Ramone, she spread her wings, penning some of her own tunes with help from Canadian

indie hero Ron Sexsmith and Grammy winning singer/songwriter Jesse Harris. Audiences will be able to hear tunes off all albums live when Yanofsky hits the Vernon Performing Arts Centre stage with her KaboomPow, The Little Secret Tour, Jan. 31. Tickets are go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at the Ticket Seller box office. Call 250-549-7469 or order online at www. ticketseller.ca.

Group offers support to bereaved parents Editor’s note: The following is from The Compassionate Friends, which offers support to parents who have experienced the death of a child. Families grieving the deaths of children, regardless of cause or age, have an outlet in The Compassionate Friends (TCF) support group. This national nonprofit, self-help organization brings together bereaved parents, as well as grandparents and siblings, to help each other through the death of a child. We all have different circumstances, but we’re all still dealing with the worst loss that can happen to a parent. Relatives and friends are often not capable of providing necessary support for grieving parents because if they haven’t experienced the death of a child, they don’t understand

what you’re going through completely. The shared experience of grief forges the link between group members that might be absent among family and friends. The group leads discussionbased meetings, sometimes picking a topic or watching a movie, but usually just allowing a discussion to run its own course. The support, comfort and understanding gained through talking to someone else who has experienced the devastating death of their child is profound, and the help each receives from the other plays a very important part in living with grief, carrying our children with us in our hearts and minds. Many newly bereaved parents will come to meetings for several months without uttering a word. Just attend-

ing the meetings helps them to grow to the point where they can open up to the group. Everyone will speak who wants to, but you don’t have to if you don’t want to. Compassionate Friends has no religious affiliation and neither discourages nor encourages members to speak about their faith. It does not collect membership dues or fees. The group focuses on parents who have experienced the death of a child(ren), but also welcomes grandparents, siblings and friends. Participants may grieve the deaths of children of all ages from any cause. The Compassionate Friends welcomes people no matter how long ago a child died. The group believes that, with help, grief can be eased, but it also recognizes that most people

do not “get over” a loved one’s death. When your child dies, it never goes away, but you do progress. The wound heals, but the scar is always there. The Compassionate Friends of Vernon has compiled a bereavement package designed to offer comfort and guidance as you begin to grieve the loss of your precious child. If you would like a bereavement package mailed to you, please contact Darlene at 250558-5026 or send an e-mail to Vernon@TCFCanada.net. Please contact Darlene at 250-558-5026 or Kelli at 1-250379-2465 for further information about our meetings or our annual candle lighting, which is held on the second Sunday in December at Paddle Wheel Park in Vernon.

Free series provides hope for Vernon caregivers Morning Star Staff

Caregiving for a person with dementia can be extremely challenging for families, both physically and emotionally. As the disease progresses, you may be required to provide different types of support, from assisting with financial decisions to helping the person complete everyday tasks. “At times this may feel overwhelming,” says Carly Gronlund, the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s support and education coordinator for Vernon and the North & Central Okanagan.

But there is hope. “By educating yourself about dementia and learning caregiving techniques, you have the ability to maintain quality of life for both you and the person you are caring for,” says Gronlund. That education can begin with the society’s free Family Caregiver Series, which runs on three Thursdays, Oct. 9, 16 and 23, in Vernon. The series runs from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at The People Place, 3402-27th Ave., and provides practical techniques and strategies that caregivers can begin using immediately.

Topics to be covered include: understanding Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias; effective and creative ways of facilitating communication with a person with dementia; understanding behaviour as a form of communication; self-care for the caregiver; planning for the future. Pre-registration is required. For information and to register, contact Carly Gronlund, toll-free, at 1-800-634-3399 or cgronlund@alzheimerbc.org. For more information on Alzheimer’s and other dementias, visit www.alzheimerbc.org.

Let the feast begin

n Jan. 31, 1957, the Parliament of Canada proclaimed: “A Day of General Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed – to be observed on the second Monday in October.” As a nation, this was the first set date for Thanksgiving, which has been celebrated since the first explorers arrived on Canadian soil. It is during October that most all of our harvesting is complete and life slows down a little; it’s the Cathi Litzenberger perfect time to reflect and celebrate the abundance of harvest and the many other blessings this country gives us. It has become a weekend of eating ourselves silly with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie. For some, a weekend of football games, taking last hiking ventures in the mountains before the snow, and for many, a time of family gatherings. Today’s recipes are perfect for the coming weekend. The soup is a one-pot meal, perfect for the cool days of fall and best yet, it can be made a day ahead and heated when you come in from tramping in the bush or puttering outside. It makes a large batch, perfect for freezing. And what would Thanksgiving be without a pumpkin pie? Let’s all take a little time to calm our souls and be thankful this weekend. Pea Soup with Sausage and Bacon 2 hot Italian sausages, casing removed, crumbled 8 slices bacon, chopped 2 carrots, chopped 2 stalks celery, chopped 1 large onion, chopped 10 cups chicken broth 2 cups dried green split peas, washed and picked over 2 bay leaves 1 tsp. dried thyme 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp. hot pepper sauce 1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper 1 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, over medi-

um-high heat, sauté sausages for 6 to 8 minutes or until browned. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain fat. Add bacon to the pan and sauté until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a separate plate lined with paper towels to drain fat. Pour off all but 1 tbsp. of the fat from the pan. Add carrots, celery and onion; sauté over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until softened. Stir in chicken broth, peas, bay leaves, thyme, salt, hot pepper sauce and black pepper. Reserve 2 tbsp. bacon for garnish and return the remainder to the pan, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, leaving lid ajar, and simmer for for about an hour or until peas are very soft. Discard bay leaves. Using an immersion blender, or in a food processor or blender, purée soup in batches (including the bacon that’s already in it) until smooth. Return to pot and stir in reserved sausage and lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, hot pepper sauce and black pepper, if desired. Serve garnished with the reserved bacon. Serve with rye bread and mustard. John’s Pumpkin Pie 1 single 9-inch pie crust 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin purée 3 egg yolks 1 large egg 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon fine salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 1/8 teaspoon Chinese 5-spice powder 1 cup whipping cream, whipped Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Whisk together pumpkin purée, egg yolks and egg in a large bowl until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk, cinnamon, ginger, salt, nutmeg and Chinese 5-spice powder; whisk until thoroughly combined. Fit pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate and crimp edges. Pour filling into the pie shell and lightly tap on the work surface to release any air bubbles. Bake in preheated oven 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F and bake until just set in the middle, 30 to 40 mins. A paring knife inserted into the filling, 1 inch from crust, should come out clean. Cool completely before serving. Serve with whipped cream.

Nikki Maxwell’s favorite fairy tales get dork-tastic twists in the eighth book of the #1 New York Times best selling Dork Diaries series! After a bump on the head in gym class on April Fool’s Day, Nikki has a wild dream in which she, her BFFs Chloe and Zoey, her crush Brandon, and mean girl Mackenzie all end up playing the roles of some familiar classic fairy tale characters. Of course, the stories don’t go quite as expected — because they each have a very special Dork Diaries spin!

nial,” said Lubos Culen, VPAG curator. “The quality of the submissions is very high, and we expect to have as many as 1,500 pieces to choose from for the exhibit.” The current gallery does not have sufficient room to host the event. “Our intention when we originally started planning this back in 2009 is the international show would be the opportunity for Vernon to host the world from within the walls of the new art gallery,” said Kennedy Grant. “This is a tremendous opportunity for our community in terms of potential tourism dollars and solidifying the Okanagan as a destination for quality arts and culture. Unfortunately that hasn’t happened and we are now faced with having to limit this exhibition drastically or seek other options. I don’t want to see this as a missed opportunity for Greater Vernon.” VPAG is approaching local businesses for temporary gallery space downtown to host the exhibition. “This is not an ideal solution, but we need the space, and we need the help,” said Kennedy Grant. Satellite space will be needed from March 9 to May 22, 2015.

The stage has been set for the 2015 federal election in Okanagan-Shuswap. Mel Arnold, a Salmon Arm businessman, became the Conservative candidate Saturday. He will go up against Liberal Cindy Derkaz, the NDP’s Jacqui Gingras and Green Dave Smith. “I am looking forward to the honour of being the Conservative candidate and building on the good work Colin Mayes and Mel Arnold our Conservative government have accomplished”, said Arnold after nomination results were announced. “Winning the candidacy is now the first step toward winning the next election and providing the best representation possible for the residents of the

entire riding.” Also seeking the Conservative nomination were Vernon’s Scott Anderson, Janet Green, of Lumby and Wayne Lippert, of Vernon. Mayes, who is retiring as MP, is rallying behind Arnold. “I am looking forward to assisting Mel Arnold in becoming familiar with every corner of this riding and the issues that are important to the constituents,” he said. “As I continue to represent this riding I will do my utmost to ensure a seamless transition when Mel becomes the next MP in this electoral district upon my retirement in October of 2015.” Arnold has operated Complete Marine in Salmon Arm for 25 years. He is a past-president of the B.C. Wildlife Federation and has been involved in the Salmon VERNON WOMENand IN BUSINESS Arm Chamber of Commerce the Shuswap Pro Development Association president.

* When you buy your turkey, pick it up just before you head to the checkout * Thaw the turkey in the refrigerator or immersed in cold water * Wash your prep area with sanitizer, not soap, both before and after handling the turkey. Sanitizer kills living bacteria while soap merely cleans the surface * Rinse the turkey under cold running water - this applies to both frozen and fresh turkeys - and remove the neck and giblets. Stuff the turkey * Set the oven temperature no lower than 325°F. When done, the food thermometer should reach a safe internal temperature of 165°F * Remove any stuffing from the turkey and refrigerate leftovers immediately after dinner. As well, I always freeze my leftover carcass for soup right away

French immersion proves popular locally Morning Star Staff

Student enrolment provincewide, including in Vernon, may be declining, but not for French immersion. According to a recent report, more students in B.C. are participating in French language programs than ever before. Provincewide, French Immersion enrolment has been increasing for 16 consecutive years. The booming popularity of this well-established program is putting pressure on many local school boards to accommodate the growing demand from families. Over the past six years, overall enrolment in Vernon decreased by 920 students, or 10.2 per cent. Over the same time-frame,

Participants sought for global Photowalk Morning Star Staff

A local photographer is stepping up to capture Vernon’s attention in a worldwide event. On Saturday, the whole world will be walking during Scott Kelby’s seventh annual Worldwide Photowalk. Taking place in cities around the world, photographers of all walks of life and skill levels gather together to socialize, share and inspire during this one-day, worldwide event. Vernon is taking part in this event, which is being hosted by Fiona Green, a local photographer. Anyone interested can meet at Justice

“There are many lanes, the famous murals, historic buildings to discover all throughout downtown.” — Fiona Green Park (opposite the courthouse) at 12:30 Saturday and walk down 30th Avenue to downtown Vernon. “There are many lanes, the famous murals, historic buildings to discover all throughout downtown,” said Green. The walk turns onto 34th Street, then up

31st Avenue to take in the Greater Vernon Museum and the old railway building before wrapping back up at Justice Park around 2:30 p.m. “This should be a really interesting photo opportunity for all levels of photographer, as there are so many things to shoot; reflections

in windows, interesting historic buildings, people, moving objects etc, so enough to stretch all professionals and beginners alike,” said Green. “It’s completely free to participate in the walk, but this year we’re Walking with a Purpose by encouraging all participants to donate as little as $1 to the Springs of Hope Orphanage in Kenya,” said Green. You can make that $1 back and then some by entering your favorite shot from your walk into the contest, with a chance to win some amazing prizes.

French immersion growth and to improve learning outcomes through standardized benchmarks and authentic learning experiences,” she said. The 2014 State of French Second Language in BC & YK report, shows that as of the 2013/2014 school year there were more than 49,000 students in French immersion, or 8.8 per cent of B.C.’s public school enrolment. In Vernon there are more than 1,055 students in French immersion, or 13 per cent of all students in the school district. There are more than 187,000 students in B.C. learning French through the basic core French program, or one-third of all students.

Urban farming will be front and centre during a special event. Organizers of the Patchwork Farm community garden will host an urban farming symposium Oct. 18 at Okanagan College. “The day will feature expert speakers who will delve into topics of permaculture design, food security and sustainability as well as urban bee keeping and urban agriculture,” said Amy Kermociev, farm co-ordinator. “Choose to sit in on just a few speakers or enjoy an entire day of learning and exploring the farm. This event is open to the public, but registration is required and opening up soon.” Sign-in starts at 8 a.m., with the first talk at 8:30 a.m. The event runs until 6:30 p.m. Registration is at Eventbrite.ca and tickets are $33 (including eight speakers, lunch and snacks). After three years of development by local partner agencies, led by Kindale Developmental Association, Patchwork Farms has been a success. “Currently the produce that is grown at Patchwork Farms is distributed to those who volunteer their efforts

in the garden,” said Kermociev. “We also send produce to the Salvation Army Gleaners, the Women’s Transition House, the Canadian Mental Health Association Kitchen Program, Kindale and other non-profits in the community.” The Mental Illness Family Support Centre was running its Farm Friends Program out of Patchwork Farms.

While food donations continue to come in to the Lake Country Food Bank, the local charity is facing hard times when it comes to the number of volunteers. Food bank manager Phyllis MacPherson says the summer months saw the number of people stepping forward to help at the food bank dwindle to just a handful of about five regulars, adding that people need to step up or the food bank won’t be able to continue to provide help to families. “There are a lot of people in this town who aren’t doing anything to help the community,” said a frustrated MacPherson. “People have been on vacation or are getting older, it’s just the way things are. Now it’s the fall and we need some help. There are a half a dozen old girls like me and we just need some help.” MacPherson says the community continues to be onside with the food bank when it comes to donating food but she says the small number of volunteers at the food bank and at the relatively newly opened food bank thrift store just isn’t enough to do the work. “We could open more days if we had more volunteers,” she said. “It seems like it is just getting tougher and tougher to get people out.” Not only is the food bank struggling to find help, it is searching for somewhere to store food that is expected to come in over the next couple of months as local programs to stock the shelves kick into high gear. Last year some food was stored in the building that is now home to the thrift store but that is no longer an option with the store operating out of there. With the 800-square-foot food bank and a few small storage sheds bursting at the seams (it’s home to eight freezers) at the Lake Country Boys and Girls Club, MacPherson says she doesn’t have many options to put the food that is expected to arrive in the fall through various programs to raise money and food leading up to Christmas. “We could use another building just for storage,” she said. “Where are we going to put the thousands and thousands of items that are going to come in. We just don’t have any room or place to put it. We may have to rent a truck that can be left (outside of the food bank).” Another issue surrounds people leaving supposed donations at the food bank and at the thrift store. The Lake Country Food Bank is open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Thursday in the Lake Country Boys and Girls Club building.

Dezura does cashspiel double KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

Grant Dezura of Maple Ridge took the tourist route while winning the Prestige Hotels & Resorts Curling Classic. Nine games in four days didn’t faze Dezura as he iced Brent Pierce of Kelowna 8-3 in five ends Monday night in the men’s final of the $62,000 cashspiel. He earned $7,000. Dezura, third Kevin MacKenzie of Kelowna and front-enders Jamie Smith (Kelowna) and Kevin Recksiedler (Maple Ridge) had enough adrenaline left to count four in the fifth end to bury Pierce. Dezura, who pocketed $2,600 in the Cloverdale Cashspiel three weeks ago, still had a strong enough voice to issue advice in the final, delayed an hour after Dezura needed an extra end to stop 22-year-old Brendan Bottcher of Edmonton 7-6 in the semis. “We were getting a little tired, but we managed to stay sharp early there and put some pressure on them,” said the amiable Dezura, who turns 41 in two weeks. “It was pretty much come off the ice, have a quick sandwich and get back out there so we’ve been going since nine; it’s been a long day.” The teams swapped deuces in the opening ends before Dezura took two in the third end and Pierce earned a single in four. MacKenzie, who throws skip rocks for Dezura, knocked out Pierce’s shot-rock blue stone and stuck for a four-spot in the fifth end. “He’s been throwing ‘em great all weekend and we knew that spot on the ice and with that kind of weight,” said Dezura, of MacKenzie. “It was only about a two-foot runback so it was easy; he put it right on the nose.”

KEVIN MITCHELL/MORNING STAR

Grant Dezura of Maple Ridge calls on his sweepers in the men’s final of the Prestige Hotels & Resorts Curling Classic Monday at the Vernon Curling Club. Dezura was forced to the C event after losing to Vernon’s Jim Cotter Friday night. Dezura, who runs two insurance companies, edged Ken McArdle of Vancouver 5-4 in the quarterfinals Monday morning. Dezura will try for a threepeat at the $40,000 Kamloops Crown of Curling, Oct. 17-20. Pierce, who lives in New Westminster, had Jeff Richard at third, Tyler Orme at second and Dave Harper at lead. Richard and Orme have curled together for 20 years, and like Harper, live in Kelowna. Orme learned how to curl growing up in

Vernon, claiming the 1997 provincial junior men’s title with T.J. Perepolkin. “It’s been an interesting day,” said the smiling Orme. “We had a few close games and the last one kind of got away from us, but we can’t be too disappointed. It was our first spiel together as a full squad so we can take some learning experience from that and try and improve for the next one.” Pierce, a former world champion alongside Greg McAulay, pocketed $5,000. He likes what Orme brings to the foursome, which is sponsored by Rellish Transport of Armstrong.

Snakes snap three-game skid GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff

Backed by a rebound performance from Jarrod Schamerhorn, the Vernon Vipers outlasted the Cowichan Valley Capitals 2-1 in B.C. Hockey League play Saturday night at Kal Tire Place. After getting shelled for four goals on 22 shots Friday in Merritt, a 4-0 loss, the 19-year-old net detective turned in a 34-save showing against the Caps. The Kelowna native was 63 seconds away from his first-ever BCHL shutout when a defensive lapse off a faceoff led to Cowichan forward Jesse Neher converting into a wide open net from the hashmarks. “Schamerhorn was very good for us tonight, especially after a tough one in Merritt,” said Vipers’ assistant coach Kevin Kraus. “That’s the job he’s chosen to do – to be a

goalie – and he bounced back and showed he’s a veteran.” Saturday was Vernon’s first home win, and, more importantly, it snapped a three-game skid. The 3-3-0-1 Snakes play the second leg of a four-game homestand against the Salmon Arm Silverbacks (3-2-0-1) Friday at the Big Wheel. The Chilliwack Chiefs (5-1) are in town Saturday. With just 11 returnees between them, the Vipers and Capitals both have plenty of fresh faces. It resulted in some stints of sloppy neutral-zone play and shaky transitions, with Vernon carrying the play in the first period, and Cowichan coming on strong in the second. Anthony Latina, with his third of the season, opened the scoring for Vernon when he drove to the net from the right side and jammed his own rebound, five-hole, past netminder Matthew Zentner (36 saves).

“It’s my first tournament curling with Ty and I curled against him for many, many years and he’s a really good guy, I like him a lot and he’s a good teammate. He’s working hard out there and we’ll see how it moves forward.” Pierce came from behind to clip Cotter 5-4 in the other semifinal Monday afternoon. There was a field of 16 men’s rinks with Cotter and Bottcher each bagging $4,000. On the 24-team women’s side, Ayumi Ogasawara of Sapporo, Japan shocked the field by brushing back Val Sweeting of Edmonton 5-4 in Sunday’s final. Sweeting had clipped Ogasawara 7-6 in an extra end, in the opening draw of preliminary play. Ogasawara banked $7,500, while Sweeting collected $5,500. Ogasawara stopped Satsuki Fujisawa of Nagano, Japan 5-3, while Sweeting toppled Kelly Scott of Kelowna 6-2 in the semis. Fujisawa and Scott each took home $4,000. “We are a new team still trying to do different things,” said Ogasawara. “We were in a tough pool and were not expected to make the playoffs. We never gave up today.” Ogasawara was supported by Sayaka Yoshimura, Kaho Onodera and Anna Ohmiya. Sweeting was backed by Andrea Crawford, Dana Ferguson and Rachel Pidherny. Sweeting won the 2014 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts and then lost 8-6 to Rachel Homan in the Canadian Hearts final. “We missed the important shots that we needed to make,” said Sweeting, 27. “Other than that, we have good communication and are playing well together. We have eight, nine more tournaments until playdowns.”

WARREN HENDERSON Black Press

For the first half of Sunday’s game at the Apple Bowl, the Okanagan Sun looked very much like a team without a head coach. But even in the absence of the suspended Shane Beatty, the Sun demonstrated they are the team to beat in the B.C. Football Conference en route to a 38-19 victory over the Kamloops Broncos. The Sun finished the regular season at 9-1, their best record and first BCFC title since 2010. Beatty, in his second season as bench boss, was absent from the sidelines after being suspended by the league this week for a breach of the coach conduct policy — an off-field conversation between Beatty and another party was deemed inappropriate, according to Sun GM Jay Christensen. Veteran quarterback Cam Bedore returned to the lineup after missing three games with a concussion and played the first half. Rookie Josiah Joseph took over in the second half and helped pace the offence to four scores and a field goal. The Sun have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, starting with the BCFC semifinal on Sunday Oct. 19 (1 p.m.) when they battle the Vancouver Island Raiders (5-5).

Quarterback Tye Kitzman of the Fulton Maroons is taken down by Darnel Pasmen of the Westsyde Blue Wave in Okanagan Conference varsity football play Saturday at Grahame Park.

Blue Wave rolls Fulton Morning Star Staff

The Westsyde Blue Wave held off the Fulton Maroons 32-30 in an Okanagan Conference varsity football thriller Saturday at Grahame Park. Fulton quarterback Tye Kitzman completed four touchdown passes, the longest a 30-yarder to Caden Doyle. Tyler Liefke, Mike Williamson and Darrien Broomfield also recorded TD receptions. Williamson also earned three two-point conversions, while Broomfield bagged one. “This was an entertaining game to say the least,” said Maroons’ head coach Mike Scheller. “We scored twice in the last five minutes to take the lead 30-24. Westsyde drove the ball 55 yards with a minute-anda-half left, and scored the two-point convert to win the game. Fulton has not lost to Westsyde in years, but Scheller says the Blue Wave program has improved immensely. “The coaches were happy with our intensity and effort,” added Scheller. “We need to play with more intensity and our kids responded with a very good effort.” Kitzman nailed 14 of 25 passes for 227 yards and two interceptions. The QB rang up 102 yards on 14 carries, while Max Chapman pocketed 79 yards on 13 touches. Doyle dialed up 80 yards on two catches, while Liefke produced 57 yards on three aerials and Broomfield finished with five receptions for 56 yards Kitzman registered eight tackles, while Chapman had seven and Kyle Dennis and Sikandar Ahmad each had six. Trent Smith earned four. Williamson collected one pick. “We had a bad stretch on offence in the first half that affected our chances to win,” said Scheller, whose troops trailed 18-6 at the break. “We turned the ball over three straight times, once on a blocked punt, and twice on fumbles on kick returns that put us behind. “The second half was much better and we put up 400 yards offensively on the day. Defensively, we give

up too many big plays due to missed tackles. We also have trouble stopping the outside run, two areas we need to improve upon.” Added Scheller: “Kitzman had a great game as a safety and quarterback. His second half was excellent and he almost led us back to victory. He was impressive. Max Chapman played hard as a tailback and middle linebacker, and was very good on defence. I was happy with Trent Smith and Zach Neill at defensive tackle. Both of them were tough inside for us. Mike Williamson as a defensive back, wide receiver and punt returner made impacts on both sides of the ball.” The Maroons visit the Salmon Arm Golds Friday at 6 p.m. Fulton is 0-1 in league play and 0-3 overall.

Atom Magnums ground Broncos Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Magnums collected their first Atom Division win of the season, corralling the host Kamloops Broncos 34-12 in Southern Interior Football Conference play Sunday morning.

Carston Disher compiled 165 rushing yards and two scores, while Gunnar Nyberg rushed for 115 yards and one TD. Brayden (Balraj) Khun hauled in a pass from Devries and ran it in for a 50-yard strike. Jace Collard connected on two extra-point kicks. The defence was also on fire, led by Hudson Kibblewhite’s 13 tackles. Nyberg chipped in with seven tackles and a pair of sacks, Dillan Rinkel supplied one tackle and three sacks, Morgan Hackman had three tackles and a sack, Dominic Kitzman recorded five tackles and Issiaha Grant and Aiden Lawrence both had four.

Vipers earn Civic split Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Source For Sports Vipers split a pair of Bantam Tier 1 hockey games at Civic Arena, blanking the Salmon Arm Silvertips 2-0 Sunday after bowing 7-1 to the Kelowna Rockets Saturday. Tyler Sedlacek earned the shutout as Vernon opened the scoring midway through the first when Joe Eggert danced across the blueline, drawing the defender with him before deftly placing a backhand pass onto the tape of Nick Cherkowski, who labeled a wrister, high gloveside. Eggert went end-to-end in the third, beating one defender before undressing a d-man and ringing a wrister off the right post. Vernon kept up the pressure and got some insurance on a scramble when Dawson Chase shoveled it home with Dylan Sedlacek in the crease picking up the assist. Salmon Arm found some energy and Sedlacek, with a little help from the crossbar, came up huge when required. Vernon’s defensive core had a great game led by Aiden Rysen, who wore the post-game hard hat. Against Kelowna, Vernon got on the board with a penalty shot late in the second after a Rocket closed a glove on the puck in the crease. Cherkowski went glove side.

Cougars prowl at home

The Watkin Motors Vipers lost 5-2 and 5-4 to the host Prince George Cougars in Pee Wee Tier 1 play. The Vipers took a 4-2 lead into the third period in Sunday’s matinee on goals by Lachlan O’Keefe, Brayden McAmmond, Nick Teale and Jacob Boden. Vernon got into some penalty trouble and the Cougars rang up three unanswered goals for the lead. Tysen Fairweather appeared to net the equalizer on a shot that bounced in and out of the net quickly and was ruled no goal. With 10 seconds left, the Snakes almost tied it but the Cougar goalie made a great save. Vernon goalie Cayden Hamming made several marvellous saves during both games. It was 2-2 at the ice clean Saturday on goals by Lucas Zubrod and Trevor Kennedy, but Prince George netted two goals late in the second period before icing things with an empty netter. The Mustangs are in the Richmond Seafair Thanksgiving Tournament.

Coke boys reach Sicamous semis

The Coca Cola Midget Tier 2 Vipers lost 5-2 to Surrey in Sunday’s semifinal of the Sicamous Invitational. Logan Imrich, assisted by Dex Elders, and Solomom Ivanoff, unassisted, handled the offence. Elders, Landon Munk and Jarrett Campbell supplied goals as Vernon clipped Winfield 3-1 Saturday. Earlier, Vernon tied Westside 2-2 on tallies by Munk and Harvey Pawsey, and stopped Salmon

Arm 7-1 with offence from Elders (3), Prentice Swiscoski (2), Ivanoff and Brian Ferguson.

Joe turns trick for Fix crew

Big d-man Ethan Joe pulled the hat trick as the Vernon Fix Auto Bantam Tier 2 Vipers grounded the West Kelowna Tier 2 Bantam Grizzlies 8-4 in exhibition play Saturday night at Jim Lind Arena. Dayton Bryan and Sean Howard each contributed a deuce, while Bryan Brew bagged a single. Tanner Wright and Lincoln Connor each drew two helpers. Outstanding goaltending, strong defensive play and timely scoring propelled the Valley Wood Remanufacturing Atom A Vipers with back-to-back home wins to open the regular season. On Saturday, the Vipers got two goals from Cash Anderson and singles from Max Stewart and Tyler Burke in a 4-2 win over Salmon Arm. Austin Seibel was solid in net. Erik Pastro (2) and Bennett Kuhnlein supplied the goals in a 3-1 Sunday victory over the Kelowna Junior Chiefs. Anderson earned two helpers in support of a stellar Colten Colmorgen. “In both games, our goaltenders came up with several timely saves,” said Vernon head coach Trevor Seibel. “We were able to parlay that momentum into offensive opportunities that resulted in the goals we needed.”

Lakers struggle in Surrey

The Thompson Okanagan Lakers bowed 7-1 to the West Coast Avalanche in Midget AAA Female play Saturday in Surrey. Jenna Fletcher of Vernon supplied the Laker goal, assisted by Christy Blackburne of West Kelowna and Stephanie Strymecki of Kelowna. Goaltending was shared by Sydney Carter and Emma Gottfriedson. The Lakers showed improvement in a 4-2 Sunday loss to the Avs. Fletcher and Andie Kaneda (Vernon) each earned 1+1 in front of Gottfriedson. The Salmon Arm Midget A Female Silvertips went 1-3 in a Kelowna tournament on the weekend. After opening with a 9-2 win over Kelowna (Taylor Vandale of Vernon 3G) and a 5-1 loss to Cranbrook in Friday play, the Tips were ambushed 8-2 by Terrace Saturday morning. Sam Maric broke the Terrace shutout bid in the third when she missed on a breakaway but was able to recover the puck and fire it in far side. Cassidy Marshall scored the Tips’ second goal when she banged home a rebound off an Emily Clarke shot. The Tips, sponsored by Armstrong Co-Op, were shut out 7-0 by Prince George in the afternoon. Hailey Haskell, Caitlyn Marshall and Makenna Southam played bold defensively to keep the Cats from reaching double figures. Bailey Berndt and Taylor Thomlinson shared the goaltending duties.

Nick Cherkowski (front) of Vernon Bantam Tier 1 Vipers lunges for the puck against Jackson van de Leest of the Kelowna Rockets Saturday at Civic Arena. Vernon fell 7-1 to the Rockets, but rebounded with a 2-0 win over Salmon Arm a day later.

Vernon’s Austin Bosquet shot 74 Saturday to place second in the Junior Boys 17-19 division of the Boston Pizza-presented Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour at the University Golf Club in Vancouver. A full field of golfers enjoyed a great course and beautiful weather in the MJT Nationwide One Day Fall Series. Josh Miller, 17, of Saanichton, carded a 73 to edge Bosquet. Miller reeled off five birdies for his first MJT victory. Bosquet, 17, has qualified for a Future Collegians World Tour (FCWT) tournament, Jan. 3-4, at PGA West in Phoenix. “We have once again seen a high level of participation and some outstanding results from junior

golfers,” said Murray Poje, MJT Executive Director and PGA Professional. Tyler Leclair, 17, of North Vancouver, produced a 76 to finish third. James Kim, 16, of Vancouver, fired a 73 to capture the Juvenile Boys 15-16 category. “I got off to a poor start and the two players in my group seemed solid, but I battled back after two doubles,” said Miller. “The course was in great condition and the greens were awesome. I’m happy that all the hard work I put in throughout the summer is paying off.” This was the final Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour stop in the country for the 2014 season. Qualified players move to the MJT Boston Pizza National Championship at The Legacy Golf Resort, Nov. 14-16, in Phoenix.

Saturday in Kelowna. In a rematch from their final preliminary game, VCS overcame quick starts by the Grand Forks Wolves to earn a two-game sweep (25-23, 25-21). “ R e b e c c a Vanderdeen was a hitting powerhouse for us on Saturday,” said head coach Jason Reedyk. “Strong setting from Hannah Podolski and good passing from Hannah Christensen made a huge difference.” The Royals opened Saturday’s playoff round by wrangling the Princeton Rebels 2-0 (25-23, 25-13), setting up a semifinal tilt with the Charles Bloom Timberwolves of Lumby.

Cole Kitagawa of the Vernon Christian Royals spikes against the Cedars Christian Eagles of Prince George in the Royals Senior Boys Invitational Saturday at Vernon Christian School. (16-25, 24-26). In the quarterfinals, the Maroons fell 2-1 to the AAA Valleyview

Kelowna’s Aberdeen Hall Gryphons 2-0 (2520, 25-10) to set up the tilt against the Bombers. Fulton battled the Revelstoke Rams in North Zone league play Tuesday night.

Wagner pockets winner Continued from A25

Cowichan started using its speed in the second period and began running up the shot count. Schamerhorn had to be sharp when rookie blueliner Ryley Booth’s dee-to-dee pass was well read by Caps’ forward Brayden Gelsinger, who intercepted and went in on a breakaway. Branden Wagner, captain of the Okanagan Rockets last season, pocketed his first goal as a Viper (he scored for West Kelowna as a call-up last season) later in the frame when he swatted home the rebound off of Riley Brandt’s shot from the sidewall at 14:44. “It felt pretty good to get the first one,” said Wagner, who plays alongside buzzsaw Brandt and Blaine Caton. Vernon went into shutdown mode in the final frame, and looked to be well in control until the final minute. After cutting the lead to one, the Caps pressed in the final minute, but couldn’t collect the equalizer. TJ Dumonceaux won a couple of key faceoffs late to keep the Caps at bay. “We’re really looking for the two points, night in and night out,” said Capitals’ captain Kyle Horsman, who assisted on Neher’s snipe. “We really picked it up at the end there, but we’ve got to play a full 60 and everyone has

to do their jobs.” Both teams were left shortbenched late in the second period when two fights broke out after a skirmish behind Vernon’s net. The Vipers’ Thomas Aldworth tangled with Thomas Gobeil, and 5-foot-6, 160-pound Linden Hora traded a few jabs with 6-foot-4, 215-pound Charlie Pelnik and then surprised the big man by earning a quick takedown. Wagner welcomed the extra minutes as all four players were ejected as a result of the one-fight rule being implemented this season. “It gets you a bit more into the game that way,” he said. “It’s a bit more ice for everyone. You can mix it up and maybe spark something new.” The Capitals bowed 5-3 to the Interior co-leading West Kelowna Warriors (5-2) Sunday. SNAKE BITES: Ex-Viper Demico Hannoun scored on a penalty shot in double-overtime as the Penticton Vees brushed off the Silverbacks 5-4 Saturday night at the Shaw Centre... Vernon’s Curtis Lazar has been named to the Ottawa Senators’ final 23-man roster to start the coming NHL season. The Sens will have nine games to decide whether they keep him or send the 19-year-old power forward back to the WHL Edmonton Oil Kings.

Bridge by Phillip Alder LISTEN OUT FOR THE WARNING SIREN Gertrude Stein said, “We are apt to shut our eyes to that siren until she allures us to our death.” When the opponents are in the bidding, they are giving you information about their hands. You may shut your eyes, but do not close your ears. Listen closely and use that data to your benefit. Do not sit there with earmuffs on. (Even a pass may provide positive information, but that is much less common.) In this deal, East had an interesting decision over two spades: double or three hearts? Double would have kept all three suits in play, but would have almost certainly resulted in a 5-3 heart fit

being missed. Preferring to aim for the most likely game, East plunged in with three hearts. Then South understandably took a shot at four spades. West, less understandably, doubled for penalty, telling declarer that the spade break was very bad. West led the heart 10. East won with his king and tried to cash the ace, but South ruffed. There was a strong case for not touching trumps at all, but at the table declarer led his spade seven and went up with dummy’s ace! Now the contract had to fail. South should have played the spade two from dummy. Then he cashes his diamond tricks and plays a club to

dummy’s queen. Suppose East wins and leads another heart. Declarer must ruff with his jack. Assume West overruffs and returns a trump. South wins with dummy’s nine, plays a club to his 10, cashes the club ace, and crossruffs the last two tricks.

Philippe was a loving husband to Theresa and father to their three children. Philippe and Theresa were married 65 years having met each other at the ages of 12 and 14.

Turid (Trudy) Bauck Grandma

We regret to inform of the passing of Turid Bauck on Sept 21, 2014 at the age of 90. Trudy was born in Norway , and grew up in Trondheim where she met her husband Finn. Married in 1953, they immigrated to Canada that same year. Originally residing in Greater Vancouver, they moved to Cherryville in 1975 as owner/operators of Franks General store. Finn passed in 1978, and Trudy remained the sole operator unƟl she reƟred to Vernon in 1987. An acƟve reƟree, Trudy volunteered at the GeorgeƩe shop for over 25 years and she also assisted with raising her grandchildren. They were always excited as every Friday was “Grandma Day!” Trudy baked cookies and made her famous Norwegian waŋes, and took the kids to swimming lessons, preschool and soccer. And on those all too frequent Ɵmes when she took them on the wrong bus, she would claim that she was taking them on a sightseeing tour! More than anything else, she was known for her kind and gentle nature, and she always greeted everyone with a smile. She will truly be missed. She leaves behind children Ellen (Terry) Meyer, Hans (Neena) Bauck and Chris (Nikki) Scabar and grandchildren MaƩhew (Lee Anne) Jones, Lindsay Jones, and Glenn Thompson. She also leaves great-grandchildren Waylon, WyaƩ, Wesley, Chloe- Rose and Bradley, brother Tor (Aashild ) of Trondhiem and several nieces and nephews all in Norway, and some very special friends Delma, Laura, Terri and Alma all of Vernon. There will be a celebraƟon of her life on Oct 11, 2014 at 1205 -29th Ave from 1:00-4:00 pm. Please drop in and share your memories of Trudy with those who loved her. We encourage you to write them down so we can save and share them with one another later on.

Intersection raises issues Morning Star Staff

Intersections are the most common area for collisions to occur and police continue to focus enforcement in an effort to reduce crashes. The RCMP are identifying intersections of concern, including Highway 97 and Beaver Lake Road in Lake Country. “Aggressive driving behaviours, such as speeding, tailgating, and trying to beat the yellow light, as well as the use of electronic devices, put everyone at risk and are major contributors to intersection crashes,” said Const. Kris Clark. “It may seem simple but even when there are traffic lights telling us what we need to do, things often go wrong. Please help us keep your streets and intersections safe; leave the phone alone and share the road.”
