Jury deems mill death accidental ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Seven recommendations to the company, provincial forest safety council, B.C. Ambulance Service and WorkSafe B.C. have been made by a sevenperson jury at the end of a coroner’s inquest into the workplace death of a Lumby man. The six-man, onewoman jury classified Bradley Michael Thomas Haslam’s death at Tolko’s Lavington Bradley Haslam mill on June 15, 2013 as accidental, with the 18-year-old’s death caused by blunt trauma. Haslam was found unresponsive by coworkers in an area near the mill’s No. 3 chipper. Resuscitation efforts by mill, ambulance and Vernon Jubilee Hospital personnnel could not revive the Charles Bloom Secondary School grad, who began work at the mill in March 2013.

The four-day inquest heard that no one at the mill witnessed Haslam’s accident. He was a member of the mill’s clean-up crew, which generally hired younger workers who were given a training orientation booklet and a couple of safety videos to watch. Safety talks and tours, the inquest heard, are a regular component at the mill. The jury’s foreperson read the seven recommendations in front of presiding coroner T.E. Chico Newell, legal counsel for the coroner, WorkSafe B.C., Tolko, United Steelworkers union and Haslam’s family members. Four recommendations were made to WorkSafe B.C., the provincial organizations dedicated to promoting workplace health and safety for the workers and employers of this province. “To develop an educational tool about the risks associated with worker fatigue,” read the foreperson. “To include worker fatigue as a component of a CORE audit; review and research with industry new training styles/curriculum for young/new

workers; and that workplace inspections incorporate all shifts including day, afternoon, graveyard and weekend shifts.” “I have communicated the recommendations to the board, and the board will have to review them and integrate them into its business processes, but I can’t speak for what that exact outcome will be,” said WorkSafe B.C. counsel Gerald Massing. “The board does take these things very seriously and is always interested in receiving input into the whole health and safety mandate. There’s always additional health and safety approaches to examine. We are engaged in that process, we will continue to be engaged in that process and we’re happy to receive these things as part of that process.” The jury recommended Tolko produce an educational tool to share across all company operations and industry that describes the lessons learned, and depicts the safety standards accomplished, since Haslam’s death. “We will address and be implement-

ing the jury’s recommendation,” said Don Hanson, Tolko spokesperson. To the B.C. Forest Safety Council manufacturing advisory group, the jury recommended utilizing Tolko’s Lavington planer mill’s safety measures approach as a landmark. And it was recommended to the B.C. Ambulance Service that it ensure counselling be made available in a timely fashion to ambulance attendants following calls of traumatic arrest and similar critical incidents. A total of 21 witnesses testified during the four-day inquest, with Newell giving his instructions to the jury Thursday night. The jury deliberated for an hour before resuming Friday morning. The foreperson asked Newell if he could speak to the family. “We can’t even begin to share your grief,” he said. “Please accept our sincere condolences.” Haslam’s family declined to speak to the media after the inquest.

Sign bylaw controversy heats up richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Controversy has one Vernon mayoralty candidate yanking out election signs. Mary-Jo O’Keefe is relocating signs from public right-of-way to private property because some residents have challenged an Oct. 14 council decision to not enforce the sign bylaw unless there are safety and liability complaints. “We have had letters to city hall on a daily basis that say councillors are above the law,” said O’Keefe, a current councillor who voted in favour of not enforcing the bylaw during the election. “That’s not the impression I want people to have of me.” The bylaw doesn’t allow election signs on public right-of-way and while signs have been allowed to proliferate in previous years, city staff this year had given a copy of the bylaw to all candidates. City administration had recommended enforcing the bylaw even if a public complaint had not been received. “I still believe election signs should be allowed but there’s enough controversy taking away from election issues,” said O’Keefe. Among those concerned about council’s actions is Wade Cantalope, of Elephant Storage Centre. In protest, he has posted

Lisa VanderVeLde/morning star

the placement of election signs on right-of-way has generated some public concern in Vernon. “Vote Elephant Storage” signs along roadsides. “If you are running for office, are you automatically above the law?” he said. “They actually make the bylaw and they don’t have to follow it.” O’Keefe is suggesting the bylaw be

amended to permit election signs on rightof-way during a defined period as a way of avoiding future conflict. “There is such low voter turnout and if we can get people involved, we should do it,” she said of creating awareness about candidates. Victor Cumming says his mayoralty cam-

paign team is determining where his signs should be located, but he admits they were originally on private property. “We were told by the city that’s the way it was but on Oct. 14, we got notice from city hall (that the bylaw was suspended) and they went up (on right-of-way) after that,” he said. Candidate Klaus Tribes is not concerned that he has signs posted along roads. “We do have the ability to use pubic right-of-way and we will use the advantage,” he said. “It’s a time when people want to know who is running.” Tribes also supports amending the bylaw to officially sanction election signs on rightof-way. Akbal Mund says his mayoralty signs will only be installed on private property. “If I want to be a leader, I lead by example,” he said. “I am not saying what others are doing is wrong but I have to uphold my own integrity.” Jamie Morrow says bylaws should be enforced, but he admits he is contemplating following the lead of other candidates and putting some signs on public land. “It’s an ethical issue but you have to fight to get your name out.”

Shootout suspects receive different sentences Kathy Michaels Black Press

Two of the three people who led Mounties on a high speed shootout down Westside Road in the summer of 2012 were sentenced this week, with vastly different outcomes. Crown counsel and defence lawyers for Ashley Collins, 20, and Shawn Wysynski, 34, offered Justice Peter Rogers joint sentencing submissions Friday morning and he accepted their recommendations, offering insights into the man and woman before him as he made decisions on their respective futures. Collins, who earlier pleaded guilty to knowingly being in a vehicle with illegal firearms, was given a suspended sentence of 18 months and 18 months of probation. As she and her two companions took part in multiple car jackings

over the course of a drug-fuelled car chase with police, Collins was seen hopping in and out of vehicles, seemingly at times encouraging the men to back away from the people they were terrorizing. Considering the gravity of the crime she was involved with, the sentence may seem light, but Collins was depicted as a drug-addled teen who just chose to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. She was never spotted holding a gun, although she was miraculously the only person to sustain a bullet wound as both Mounties and her car mates let loose countless shots. The product of what Rogers characterized as “an uneven and unhappy childhood,” Collins had gotten in the swing of making poor decisions by the time of the shootout, but had yet to rack up a criminal record.

The events of July 31, 2012 may just be the peak of her poor behaviour. Since her arrest, she’s held down a steady job and stopped using drugs and alcohol. The stark difference between her life before and after that day led her to tell her parole officer that it was “the worst day of (her) life and the best day.” “As a result of her wounds, she lost a kidney,” Justice Rogers said. “I have no doubt when she looks at that scar she will be reminded of the value of leading a productive life.” Wysynski, on the other hand, has fewer future options, in Rogers estimation. He pleaded guilty to one charge of armed robbery and one charge of attempted armed robbery, and was sentenced to nine years in prison, less time served, at Friday’s hearing.

Wysynski was seen at least once over the course of the chase menacing someone with a gun, although it’s unclear if he ever shot at anyone. “He’s made a living by stealing and being involved with drugs, from the age of 15 to July 31, 2012,” said Rogers. “He’s never held a job, never been a productive member of society, and always been supported by theft… he’s a habitual criminal.” That said, Wysynski has never been in a federal prison before, and the drug and counselling programs there could go a long way to taking him off that path. “Wysynski has no attachment to normal society,” said Rogers. “It makes him difficult to deal with. I’m not optimistic that whatever programs available to him while he’s in custody will have a rehabilitative effect… but never say never. Mr.

Wysynski may surprise us all.” Now that Wysynski and Collins have been sentenced, the third party involved in the chase, Michael Ellis, can have his trial resume. He’s facing 22 charges, five of which are attempted murder.

The shift in focus will also mean about $2 million in provincial funding will disappear. The society will survive off rental income from the individual homes it owns and fundraising. In fact, fundraising will grow in importance. “They are going to need beds and couches to get started,” said Molitwenik of individuals moving into their own homes. Molitwenik insists the new model was developed after consultation with families and the government. “We will help them plan,” said Molitwenik of families. “We can go into the schools and talk to parents and plan for different living arrangements.” NOCLS will assist families with budgets when their child moves into their own home. “Advocacy will also be a key part and without government funding, we will be far more effective.” said Molitwenik. Molitwenik is confident the new structure will allow those with developmental disabilities to be independent. ‘“How do we relinquish control and let people have control of their lives while still walking with them?” he said.

Ratepayers’ meetings cover all election topics Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

The Coldstream Ratepayers’ Association is giving residents an opportunity to get to know their candidates prior to the election, as well as share some information about another important vote Nov. 15. All Greater Vernon residents, whether there is a candidate election in their area or not (if representatives were acclaimed), still has the opportunity to vote on the $70 million master water plan borrowing referendum. That vote will coincide with the Nov. 15 election. Along with a meeting Tuesday hosted by the Regional District of North Okanagan, voters can find out more information at a CRA public meeting Tuesday, Nov. 4 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Okanagan College theatre. Councillors

Maria Besso and Gyula Kiss will present on the topic Why I’m Voting No to the Water Plan Referendum. Then on Thursday, Nov. 6, the CRA hosts an informal gathering with Coldstream council candidates at the Women’s Institute Hall from 7 to 9 p.m. Candidates will each say a few words about themselves and their priorities for Coldstream in the upcoming term, followed by a limited question/answer period. Afterwards, refreshments will be available and the audience will have a chance to mingle and meet the candidates. There are seven candidates, each seeking one of the six seats on council. Newcomer Shane Hillman and former councillor Glen Taylor are challenging incumbent councillors Pat Cochrane, Doug Dirk, Richard

Enns, Gyula Kiss and Peter McClean. Mayor Jim Garlick has been acclaimed. “What’s happened speaks for itself,” said CRA member Louise Christie, about the lack of candidates. “People I think are mostly pleased with what’s been happening over the past few years.” The only downfall to the upcoming four-year term is the lack of any female candidates, since Besso is stepping down. “That’s quite disappointing,” said Christie.

A multi-million-dollar upgrade to Greater Vernon’s water is getting a rough ride. All five of Vernon’s mayoralty candidates say they will vote no Nov. 15 to borrowing $70 million for the Regional District of North Okanagan’s master water plan. “We do need to move forward but in a way that citizens can afford it,” Mary-Jo O’Keefe told about 150 people at the Sustainable Environment Network Society forum at the Schubert Centre Thursday. However, O’Keefe admits there is a risk if the community doesn’t proceed with the project. “Interior Health can put on a health alert – ‘Don’t go to Vernon because they don’t have approved water.’” Klaus Tribes insists more information is needed about the plan and potential water quality options

before residents are asked to borrow money. “The only way to get a proper review is to vote no. We need to go back to square one,” he said. Jamie Morrow questions why RDNO is pushing ahead with the plan, which includes filtration on Duteau Creek. “Why do we have such high standards? We need safe water but not for $70 million,” he said. Victor Cumming says components of the master water plan, such as increasing reservoir storage make sense because of climate change. “Unfortunately, it’s a package and there are pieces of the package I’m uncomfortable with.” Akbal Mund also called for a further investigation of what needs to be done to ensure public health. “There are some pieces (of the plan) that make sense but for $70 million, no,” he said.

Tourism centre debated Continued from A6 Of the 13 councillor candidates that were also present Thursday, all of them also indicated they opposed the borrowing referendum. Beyond water, a variety of other issues were also discussed at the forum, including urban agriculture, lake accesses, downtown revitalization, economic renewal, affordable housing, transit and traffic congestion. There was considerable debate over the city’s decision to close the two tourism information centres and centralize the service next to Civic Arena. “Tourism information booths are doing more with people who aren’t going there and it’s reduced the importance to have something to drive to,” said Cumming of people accessing social media for holiday planning.

mation services came from O’Keefe, who is a current member of Vernon council.

“Council followed the advice of the tourism advisory board,” she said, adding that the volunteer board put considerable thought into the issue. Morrow didn’t promise to revisit the issue if he is elected mayor. “The decision is done and if you do anything else, it will cost a lot more money,” he said. Tribes says closure of the north and south visitor centres will negatively impact the community. “Tourism is important and I can’t understand how people find the existing one,” he said. The next forum for Vernon mayoralty and councillor candidates is Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Performing Arts Centre.

What time is it anyway?

ime keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’, into the future........is one of those kinds of statements (thanks Steve Miller) that is painfully obvious (duh, let me know when it starts ticking into the past and you might have something) and true on one level, yet something we struggle to comprehend on a daily basis. At least I do. Time always seems to be slipping away on me, no matter how hard I try to lasso it and stop it from happening. Of course a nasty procrastination habit is to blame for much of the problem, not to mention a casual approach to life that often ends up with Glenn Mitchell one scrambling to get things done on time, you know, like on deadline, ahem. Nevertheless as months, like this one, come to a close, one is too often proclaiming “Where did October go?” – in fact so much so that it’s become a bit of a joke in the newsroom whenever one tears another page off the daytimer on one’s desk. I think in this industry, especially, we are prone to feeling like time is passing in a hurry as we deal with one deadline, after another, after another, after another, and so on. And my age doesn’t help either as now that my kids are out of public school and minor sports and all the time and energy and focus of that time of life transitions into thoughts of “wow, how did that part of my life pass by so fast?” - you’re left kind of wondering about the fact that time seems to fast track while you’re busy dealing with life and such. I think the pushing back of the time change a couple weeks doesn’t help either, it’s next weekend by the way, as the prolonged light at the end of the work day kind of fools us into thinking the onset of autumn is delayed somehow too.

MITCHELL’S MUSINGS

Of course the good weather helps us with that thought process too, hey, we’ve hardly had a frost yet, but no matter how we set the clock, fall, and eventually winter will come to these parts. Although sometimes, with all our modern technology and knowhow and manipulation of time changes and such, we think we can control more than we actually can. You know, like Mother Nature. She eventually rules. Another factor that’s made me realize time keeps on slipping away no matter what tricks we try to ward it off is the fact that I just added an HD box to the television set in my bedroom. I should probably explain. Well, you see, it happens to light up and broadcast the time 24/7 from its little perch on my dresser. And it does this whether it’s actually turned on or not, just so you know because I already tried that. It’s also quite bright so my wife’s already made me put a few books in front of it so it doesn’t bug her in the middle of the night. But that’s not the real problem. The real problem is that it’s the real time, which is approximately nine minutes behind the adjusted “Mitchell time” on my clock radio that is an attempt to fool me into at least occasionally thinking it’s the real time so I get going a little faster in the morning or to an event. But how can I think that if I’m looking at the “real time” – at least when it’s not behind three books – a few feet away from me? Luckily one of my many handicaps is lousy eyesight so it’s not a problem a lot of the time but I need my glasses to go to the bathroom and when I’m watching TV and when I’m basically doing everything other than sleeping so....... Anyway, like I said, whether I keep my clock radio nine minutes ahead of the new device in my room or not is likely beside the point, time is going to keep slipping away on me whether I like it or not. Looking forward to next weekend, though, trying to keep up with time is making me tired. I could use the extra hour of sleep.

Greater Vernon’s water referendum appears doomed for failure. On Thursday, all of Vernon’s mayoralty candidates and all of the council hopefuls (one was absent) pledged they would vote no during the Nov. 15 referendum to borrow $70 million for upgrades to the water utility. This comes on top of some high-profile Coldstream politicians also expressing opposition to the initiative. Now there is no question that $70 million is a lot of money, particularly given the other financial burdens facing taxpayers — aging infrastructure, the new sports complex, already completed water utility upgrades and the prospect of a new ice sheet, art gallery and museum. The public’s ability to pay is narrowing. However, there is the reality that Greater Vernon is not in charge of its own destiny. The provincial government, through the Interior Health Authority, stipulates what measures have to be taken in terms of water quality. Many of these measures are based more on reducing liability than addressing actual health issues, but the government ultimately sets the tone. If the referendum fails, Victoria could order the upgrades to proceed, forcing the cost on to taxpayers. It’s interesting to point out that some of the candidates voting no in the referendum raised their hands as regional district directors to proceed with the master water plan. Have they had second thoughts about the viability of the proposal or have they realized there is widespread public concern during an election campaign? In the end, voters are likely to vote down borrowing $70 million given the direction taken by council candidates. But given IHA’s overall authority, residents won’t be able to ignore the matter forever.

Golf course deserves much better

s we have people running for mayor and council in Vernon and Coldstream, most of them spread the same message. "We want to bring jobs and industry to Vernon and attract tourists," when in fact, their policies drive businesses out of Vernon in my opinion. Not to mention how the taxpayers are being ripped off on their water rates. I have been a golfer at Hillview Golf for 28 years. It is affordable as well as good exercise. Hillview provides a place to golf for tourists and the people of Vernon and area who can't afford to play the big courses. It employs 30 to 35 people and is a clean, environmentally friendly industry. I suppose the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee chairperson would have us carrying our golf clubs around the new track as a form of exercise. To have your water rates go up 35 per cent from 2011 to 2015 is absolutely ELECTION SIGNS The council debate over election signs illustrates very fuzzy thinking on the part of two councillors. Brian Quiring thinks, "It's crazy. It's like Christmas for the bylaw guys," and Catherine Lord asks, "How much money will we spend policing this?" Gee councillors, the staff are enforcing a bylaw passed by council. Isn't that what they are paid for? Both councillors owe the staff an apology for those thoughtless remarks. If, as Councillor Mary-Jo O'Keefe said, "During the last election, signs were up everywhere," it means the bylaw has been ignored two elections running, despite candidates having been given a copy of the bylaw. This should indicate to the candidates and to the voting public that the bylaw will be enforced. This issue reeks of looseygoosey, good-old-boy, small town politics. Council knows exactly when elections are coming up, council knows what has happened in the past under the existing bylaw, and Vernon isn't a village of a few thousand folks. Why wasn't something done

insane. Hillview pays two to four times higher than other golf courses in B.C. No wonder when you consider who is running Greater Vernon Water in my opinion. Some cities, to attract industry, offer

before now? Get your act together, enforce the existing bylaw for this election and then thoroughly review it well before the next elections. Dinham Drew SCHOOL BUS CONCERNS In a recent edition was a letter from Robert E. Lee voicing his concerns over school bus route changes. I would like to add my own letter as our family has also been impacted by the bus route changes. Like Mr. Lee, despite writing many letters to both the superintendent of schools and the manager of school bus transportation expressing my concerns, we have got nothing in response from them except for bureaucratic mumbo jumbo. Because we live in Whitevale, our son has to take two buses to get to his French immersion school in Vernon, and we were informed in June that because he "chooses" to go to school outside his catchment area of Lumby (which does not offer French immersion education) the bus is just a "courtesy" ride and the first bus, from just outside our home, to Lumby, has

free taxes for five to 10 years to get them to relocate to their city. All they would have to do is give Hillview the agricultural rate for water. It's a simple fix to save 30 jobs and provide a clean industry for all of Vernon

been eliminated. We were then informed that should we choose to drive our son the 5.3 kilometres to Lumby (that's more than 200 kilometres a month round-trip) he could catch the second bus from there. The first issue is that they did not actually eliminate the bus, they changed the schedule of the second bus, to arrive eight minutes earlier, but they did not adjust the time of the first by eight minutes, and therefore the two buses no longer connect. Because of this we must now drive over 200 kilometres a month to catch that second bus, for the sake of an eight-minute change. Good thing we have a second vehicle on the road pumping out more gas emissions into the air, or he would be unable to continue the French immersion education he has been taking for the past 10 years, and unable to graduate with his friends. The second and more concerning issue, is one of safety. The afternoon bus now drives right past our road and drops him off three-qurters-of-a-kilometre further away because that is the designated stop.

to enjoy. What has to happen is local government has to take the power away from Greater Vernon Water and put it into their hands to set water rates. However, we have some members of council more interested in getting free medical and dental benefits than looking after the people who elected them in the first place. They say they don't want to have a raise but the benefits add up to about 25 per cent. Not too bad. When your water bill for the year is higher than all of the taxes you pay on your house and another rate hike is forthcoming in November, hello GVAC chairperson, do you get the point? So Vernonites, here is the challenge. Make water rates one of the main election issues and only elect people who are committed to a solution rather than being the problem. John Hegler

The driver said he is not allowed to stop and let my son out, because to do so would be risking his job. Three-quarters-of-a-kilometre is not very far except that in the winter, it arrives back here after dark and in our rural area there are no streetlights and no sidewalks. Often the sides of the road are piled with snow and he will be forced to walk three-quarters-of-akilometre on the road in the dark, when they could have dropped him off right at the end of our road, where they have done for the past six years, without changing their route or schedule at all. It makes no sense to put children's lives at risk for the sake of policy and I would love to know which of these bureaucrats will be ducking responsibility when someone's child gets hit by a car? Tammy Pharand THANK YOU I want to send a huge thank you to the parents and trainer of the Vernon Midget Tier Two hockey team. I really appreciate your quick actions at Civic Arena Oct. 12 when I took a puck to the head. Also, thank you to the ambu-

lance paramedics and staff at Vernon Jubilee Hospital for their prompt and professional care. Brian 'Zami Man' Nikolychuk

to enhance the quality of life in the communities. “This is a historic moment in the growth of our community foundation,” said outgoing board president Michael Tindall. “Everyone involved is excited by both the challenge and the potential return to the community.” The foundation named former director and MLA Tom Christensen as honourary chair for the Smart and Caring Community Fund. “To take on this role is a nobrainer,” said Christensen.

“I believe deeply in what the foundation does; to raise funds that create a legacy that covers everything in our community, so many different elements, whether its sports, young children, seniors, community halls. “The range of organizations the foundation supports is the essence of community. I’m very honoured to be asked to be the honourary chair.” Longtime foundation donor George Galbraith of Vernon was not at the campaign launch but it was announced by CFNO fund development/donor relations director Leanne Hammond that Galbraith has pledged $50,000 in matching funds for eligible gifts to the Smart and Caring Community Fund. Founded in 1975 as the Vernon Foundation, CFNO’s service has expanded to the entire North Okanagan. Its endowment base has grown substantially over the past 10 years, and there are now 150 separate endowments from which annual distributions are directed to a number of local charities.

Thanks to the Community Foundation of North Okanagan (CFNO), Vernon wheelchair curler Sonja Gaudet can enjoy a post-game beverage at the Vernon Curling Club. When Gaudet and fellow Canadian Paralympic gold medalist Ina Forrest of Spallumcheen started wheelchair curling, they were unable to go upstairs at the local club and enjoy a drink or socialize with other curlers because there was no way to get up to the club’s second floor for the wheelchair athletes. Thanks to a donation from CFNO, an elevator was installed at the club. Gaudet relayed that story Wednesday night at Turtle Mountain Winery as she was named the first CFNO Smart and Caring Community Champion, as CFNO launched its plan to raise $3 million over the next three years. “When you remove physical and attitudinal barriers, people with disabilities really have an opportunity to shine,” said Gaudet. “In 2007, with help from (CFNO director) Herb Wong and Scott Kyllo, curling club manager at time, the community foundation supported an elevator at the club which created a welcoming atmosphere for anybody with a disability when we entered the building.” Backed by the slogans Your Community Needs You and 17 x 17, the CFNO’s campaign objectives are to increase the total value of endowments from the current level of $14 million to $17 million by 2017 (hence 17 x 17). It also plans to focus attention on the Smart and Caring Community Fund, an endowment which charitable organizations in the North Okanagan apply annually to fund projects

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

The future of the downtown core dominated the first gathering of Vernon’s councillor hopefuls. Thirteen candidates (Colt Wilson was unable to attend) took to the stage during the Sustainable Environment Network Society forum Thursday, and downtown Vernon was a common theme as the economy, development and planning were discussed. “Maybe we change downtown into a Gastown or Yaletown — something that attracts youth,” said Kari Gares of the need to create a vibrancy that encourages people to visit and invest in the area. Dalvir Nahal challenged the current parking rates structure by saying there are no meters in Penticton. “Let’s get the hustle-bustle downtown and we don’t need to be charging what we’re charging.” Scott Anderson told the crowd of about 150 people at the Schubert Centre that the city needs to get out of the way of business. “I’m against a regulatory framework that strangles business,” he said of parking rates.

RICHARD ROLKE/MORNING STAR

Dalvir Nahal and Mark Olsen react to a joke during the Sustainable Environment Network Society’s Vernon candidates forum at the Schubert Centre Thursday. Mark Olsen called for more people downtown. “We need more community events and that’s how the city can participate, by authorizing them,” he said. Brian Quiring defended current council’s goals of increasing the number of people downtown. “We put the tourism booth downtown and that was a good decision and the farmers market downtown was a good decision,” he said. For Art Gourley, 30th Avenue needs to be turned into a oneway road with angle parking. “There would be more parking and we

can be like Kelowna where there is free parking for the handicapped,” he said. Candidates were also asked about the city centre plan which calls for residential housing. “We should stick to the plan. We have to work with developers to move downtown,” said Jack Gilroy. James Todd made the pitch for enhanced safety. “I want to centre on cleanliness and crime downtown. Petty crime is keeping people away,” he said. Shawn Lee insists there needs to be more emphasis on the economy and job creation. “I drive by buildings

with 30,000-square-feet and they’re empty. We need to have a regional economy plan because when one prospers, we all prosper,” he said. Other issues during the debate included rental housing for seniors. “The city is looking at providing grants for developers who build rental housing. There is a serious shortage of that,” said Juliette Cunningham. Transportation was also discussed by candidates. “I’d like to see some reference for the longterm in the transportation plan that we have a bypass. If we don’t have it in the plan, the provincial government will ignore us,” said Bob Spiers. Candidates were also asked about the possibility of expanding transit. “It’s time we recognized the community is 20 per cent seniors and we’re facing more baby boomers. We need to get going now with transit or we will be in trouble in 20 years,” said Janet Green. There was also focus on recreation and specifically lake access. “We are looking at accessibility for a lot more people to the lakes,” said Catherine Lord of the city developing a parks plan. The next forum for Vernon mayoralty and councillor candidates is Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Performing Arts Centre.

Bruce Mackie, Lumby Food Bank president, looks at the 3,500 pounds in non-perishable items collected during a food drive Oct. 8. About 75 volunteers, as well as local RCMP, firefighters, emergency medical services, and search and rescue participated in the event. The drive was started by RCMP Const. Gary MaLaughin while he was stationed in Revelstoke four years ago. Now with the Lumby detachment, McLaughlin brought the idea to the village and says he would like to make the drive an annual event.

Factors such as stress, age, and diet can affect cognitive function. Just like the rest of your body, your brain also needs certain nutrients to maintain and restore its cells. Come in and talk to our staff about these products. Omega-3 Oils Omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA (found in fish oils), plays a critical role in brain cell membrane health, which in turn improves the nerves’ electrical impulses or communication with each other, and therefore boosts overall cognitive ability.

Phosphatidylserine Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a natural nutrient found in the brain. PS is the major phospholipid in the brain where it plays a role in determining the integrity and fluidity of cell membranes.

Lance McGregor and Dave McKechnie are both hoping to earn the confidence of Armstrong voters. They are among the candidates running for city council Nov. 15. McGregor spent 25 years working for the City of Armstrong in its public works department. So he couldn’t run for council. Now retired, McGregor has announced his intention to seek a seat on city council. “I have worked for 25 years on the other side so I have some idea of what is needed and how things work,” said McGregor, an Armstrong Shamrocks lacrosse legend whose retired number hangs in the rafters of the Nor-Val Sports Centre.

“I have played on teams and coached teams all my life. I am good at organizing and can be a good team player, but I am not afraid to bring new ideas to the table. “In the end, I just want what is best for this city and the taxpayers who live here.” “I have no real definite priorities,” said McGregor. “There is the renewal of the underground services which is ongoing and never ending, small changes for parks and rec if possible, and making sure all of the services are sustainable without large tax increases.” A familiar face from the McGregor past is also looking to reclaim a seat on council, but this time in Armstrong. Born and raised in Armstrong, McKechnie has a genuine interest in his community, along with some experience in politics. McKechnie served two terms on Spallumcheen counMcKechnie cil in the ‘60s, and also served two terms in Rainbow Lake, Alta., where he lived for 20 years. But now McKechnie is hoping to gain a seat on Armstrong council. This is the second consecutive time McKechnie has sought the vote. He put his name forward in 2011 and was narrowly beat by the current council. McKechnie, who also worked for the City of Armstrong in the ‘60s, only wants to add to the fine work accomplished thus far. “I do not have an axe to grind, in fact, I think the previous council has done a pretty good job. “I’ve got no personal hidden agenda.” The 72-year-old husband, father of three and grandfather of nine, is semi-retired and has the time to dedicate. With a background in construction and housing, affordable housing is one issue he would like to see addressed. “There a lot of people out there who can’t afford granite counter tops and heated floors.” A few other possibilities he is interested in looking into is a walking trail around the railway and getting the steam train back in Armstrong. Also running are incumbents Shirley Fowler, Paul Britton and Ron (Sully) O’Sullivan, and hopefuls Kerry Bennington, Steven Drapala, Helen Jackson, Dave McKechnie, Robert Thibeau and Linda Werner. Incumbent John Trainor will not seek re-election. Kelly Rowe is seeking a school board seat and Ryan Nitchie stepped down to pursue employment interests in Salmon Arm. Chris Pieper has been acclaimed as mayor of Armstrong.

The Vernon Vipers’ powerplay is finally emerging from its early-season coma, but it has a ways to go to catch up to the offensive potency of their penalty kill. The Snakes’ B.C. Hockey League-leading sixth shorthanded goal was the winner Friday night as they rallied past the Merritt Centennials 4-2 at Kal Tire Place. Trevor Fidler, with is fourth goal of the season, went in on a shorthanded 2-on-1 with Anthony Latina. The Watertown, Mass. product finished with a slick top-shelf backhander to beat Anthony Pupplo for the 3-2 goal 7:22 into the third period. “We’re just getting really good at it; we should play shorthanded from now on, I guess,” grinned netminder Jarrod Schamerhorn, who backed the Vipers with a 37-save, third star effort. Vernon (7-4-0-1) leapfrogged both Merritt (7-5) and the Trail Smoke Eaters (7-4) into second place in the ultra-competitive Interior Division. They visited the league-leading Penticton Vees (11-1) Saturday night at the South Okanagan Events Centre. The Vees pushed their win streak to eight games with a 3-2 overtime win over the host Prince George Spruce Kings Thursday night. The Vipers looked sluggish in the first period, and the Cents cashed in with two unanswered goals. Trying to be too fancy on a clearance attempt, Vipers’ rookie d-man Mitchell Oliver giftwrapped a puck for Merritt’s John Schiavo, who surprised Schamerhorn with a quick five-hole strike at 5:52. Schiavo, a Long Island, NY product, leads the Cents with eight goals. He was scouted by Merritt at the NHL New York Islanders’ rookie camp this summer. “We started hard and were playing tough in the beginning, and then they came back at us in the second,” said Schiavo, who is loving the scenery around B.C. “We had too many penalties tonight.” With 2:13 to play in period one, James Neil (4th goal, powerplay) chipped the rebound off a point shot over a sprawled Schamerhorn, who made a nice first save with traffic on his doorstep. Thrill-a-minute forward Thomas Aldworth (7th), pulled Vernon within a goal 4:33 into the middle frame on a tremendous solo effort. After Blaine Caton (first star) won a defensive zone faceoff, Aldworth banked the puck past Merritt’s point man, hustled up ice and then shovelled a backhander past Pupplo. Aldworth, named second star, added an empty netter late in the final period for his eighth goal. With veteran centre TJ Dumonceaux sidelined with a concussion, Caton made the most of his extra ice time at pivot, scoring his first-ever BCHL goal on a Vernon powerplay with eight seconds remaining in the second frame. Liam Coughlin circled off the sidewall and snapped a shot that trickled behind Pupplo (29 saves), and the 17-year-old Caton tapped it into an open net. “You never want anyone to get hurt, but when you do get

We gifted them two goals, which is frustrating because we played well in a lot of other areas.”

Lowe heads class of 2014

ad Odie (Norman) Lowe won a faceoff or two against Hall of Famer Milt Schmidt, his NHL career may have lasted more than four games. Lowe, who will be inducted Nov. 7 into the Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame for a long career as a player and coach, was 20 when the New York Rangers summoned the smooth centre from the New York Rovers of the Eastern League. Lowe and the Rangers tied the Montreal Canadians 1-1 at Madison Square Garden that March 13 night. Almost a year later, Odie pocketed five points as the Rovers won a matinee game at home on Feb. 26. That earned him a second call-up Kevin Mitchell with the Rangers that night and he scored from the right side in the first minute versus the Bruins. Lowe assisted on the winner as New York won 4-3. Said Ranger coach Lynn Patrick: “His all-around play Sunday against Boston was tremendous…. He’s a smart, heady player and forechecked and did almost everything right.” Lowe has the puck from his historic goal, but says it was hardly a beauty.

“I made sure it hit the goalie (Jack Gelineau) in the back end,” chuckled Lowe. “Everybody thought I was a hero. I killed my own chances with the Rangers. I was called up two or three weeks later and we were playing Milt Schmidt and the Bruins. He was a big, strong German type, strong as a bull. I don’t think I won a faceoff off him. Our goalie, Charlie Rayner, was yelling, ‘Get another centreman out there.’ “I had my chance and if I hadn’t run into that one episode, I might have made it.” The Rangers bowed in seven games to the Red Wings in the 1950 Stanley Cup series, while Lowe led the Rovers to the Eastern title with 53 points in 44 games. Odie Lowe Rover coach Phil Watson was glad to get his top pivot back from the Rangers: “He’s the brainiest guy on the ice…has the extra sense to know where the puck will be. He passes beautifully.” Born and raised in Winnipeg, Lowe played in nine different leagues, teaming up with future NHL goalie Terry Sawchuk to lead a formidable Winnipeg Rangers Junior A squad. He later played for his father, also named Odie, sparking the Lethbridge Native Sons to the 1947 Alberta/B.C. Junior A crown and leading the team in scoring. Lowe finished his Junior career by ringing up 51 points and a Manitoba title with the Winnipeg Canadians. Lowe’s father, a vagabond who made a living pitching in weekend baseball tournaments and working for a farmer, coached after his minor pro career ended. Odie Jr. was scouted by George (Corky) Agar when playing senior hockey for Winnipeg Maroons in a 1954 Allan Cup series against the Penticton V’s with games held throughout the Valley. Lowe had met Agar one year in Saskatoon and accepted an invitation to play senior for the Vernon Canadians. He compiled 43 goals and 91 points and another 37 playoff points as the Canadians won the ‘56 Allan Cup, rating an enormous downtown parade to celebrate the championship. Lowe fired 61 goals the next year for Vernon. A few years later, he soon got into coaching. After guiding a Vernon Juvenile team to a provincial crown, Lowe became head coach of Vernon’s B.C. Junior League team. The Essos claimed the 1969-70 and ‘71-72 season championships. John (Wire) Price and the late, great Wayne Dye were the only players on both those rosters. “Odie was great to play for,” said Price, who lives in Vernon. “You worked your ass off for him and he knew when to give you hell. He was like a second father to me, him and Vern Dye too.” Price, Ernie Gare Jr. and George Fargher lived

with Bob and Helga Adshead in the ‘71-72 season, starting a bond that remains strong today. Price, Gare and Les Salo were the Essos’ big line with Price and Gare tying for the league scoring derby with 133 points that second title season. Price had four more goals so was declared the winner. Said Lowe: “I couldn’t put one of them out to kill a penalty without the other because they wanted the points.” Said Price: “Ernie and I were the playmakers and Les was the shooter. He had a great shot. Odie always told me I was too skinny and should be on the weights, but nobody was into lifting weights back then.” The rough and tough Essos took a 2-0 series on the Weyburn Red Wings at Civic Arena in 1970 before losing the next four on the much bigger ice in Saskatchewan. “Weyburn played Montreal Junior Canadiens for the Memorial Cup after they beat us because the leagues weren’t tiered then,” said Price. “Montreal (who swept the series at home) had 10 guys who made the NHL, guys like Gil Perreault, Jocelyn Guevremont and Bobby Lalonde.” Lowe’s father was working in Cranbrook and sent the likes of Price, the late Kenny Pollen, Fargher and Don Murdoch to Vernon. Lowe knew the Quesnel arena manager Bill Ramsden, who recommended the Marsh and Gassoff brothers. “We didn’t want to bring kids in, but we had to in order to be competitive.” Vernon’s own Bob Mayer, today a 64-year-old school district carpenter, was Vernon’s captain that first title season. He was captain and league MVP. “He (Odie) was a pretty good coach. He let me play my game and gave me all the ice time I needed. I had Barry Bleackley (defensive partner) so I could bugger off and he’d hold down the house. We did pretty good for the rat-trap group we had.” Said Lowe on Mayer: “He was a just a good local kid who worked like hell and everybody else followed.” Mayer has fond memories of being driven to games in part-owner Bill Roth’s Cadillac. Lowe and Dye, along with major sponsor Ernie Kowal of Ernie’s Esso, where many players pumped gas, also loaded their cars with players and equipment. Odie worked at an appliance business for a spell, then spent five years at Bibby’s Propane before 25 years with the city. He’s 86, in decent health and golfs regularly at Hillview with his wife, Yvonne. “She’s a retired nurse so she’s really looked after me. I met her skating at Priest Valley 20 years ago. Len Miller asked me to go skating and I didn’t really want to go so things worked out well.” Lowe, a father of three, and those two Esso teams will join basketball officials guru Mel Briggeman of Vernon and Olympic swimmer Rick Say of Salmon Arm in this year’s induction class.

Knights draw Cats 4-4 Morning Star Staff

Mitch Profeit recorded 46 saves to help the North Okanagan Knights preserve a 4-4 draw with the host Creston Valley Thunder Cats Friday night at Johnny Bucyk Arena. It was the first of a three-game Kootenay International Junior Hockey League road swing for the Knights, who built up a 4-1 lead midway through the second period. North Okanagan (2-8-1-2), recording its first point in nearly a month, spread out the scoring, with singles coming from Dallas Keller (2nd goal), Tyler Mork (1st, powerplay), Logan Geefs (5th) and captain Dryden Profeit (1st). Responding for Creston Valley (5-5-12) were Tyler Fyfe (3rd), Carson Cartwright (6th) and Lien MillerJeannotte, with his fourth and fifth. Mitchell Martell made 25 saves for the Thunder Cats, who outshot North Okanagan 15-3 in the third period, and 11-6 in overtime. The last-place Knights wrap up their Kootenay swing this afternoon against the Kimberley Dynamiters (9-3-0-1). They battled the Fernie Ghostriders Saturday night. Jim Armstrong’s crew hosts the Princeton Posse (8-4-12) Wednesday, 7 p.m., at Nor-Val Sports Centre.

Panthers flatten Blue Wave Morning Star Staff

He’s only in Grade 10, but Josh Hyer can already hold his own in the Okanagan Varsity Football Conference. The Vernon Panthers’ tight end reeled in first-half touchdown passes from 34 and five yards as the Cats upended the previously unbeaten Westsyde Blue Wave 42-7 Friday night in Kamloops. The Panthers, ranked No. 2 in the provincial AA loop, scored on their first four drives, while not allowing Westsyde a single first down in the opening quarter. Receiver Levi Nicholas reached the end zone on a three-yard reverse to open the barrage. Tailback Zac Kronbauer followed that with a six-yard run two minutes later. After a Westyde turnover, quarterback John Garvie (6-of-9, 115 yards, two TDs) hit Hyer in the end zone for the first of his two td receptions. “I was impressed with the way our boys responded to a lessthan-stellar performance last week,” said VSS head coach Sean Smith. “Josh Hyer has caught everything thrown his way and gives us a great option in the passing game. He works hard in the weight room and in practice, and it’s showing on the field.” The Panthers took a 35-0 lead into the half following a 60-yard punt return touchdown by Kronbauer. Garvie capped the scoring, calling his own number from one yard. “Our run defence was lights out today as the line got consistent pressure and didn’t allow their speedy back to get to the edge,” added Smith. “Chase Larsen (five tackles) was our best defensive player and controlled the right side of the line of scrimmage.” The Panthers, who have been without a home field for five years, are hoping to close out the regular season by hosting the Fulton Maroons at the new VSS field. Game time and day has yet

to be determined due to referee availability. “It’s been a long haul being road warriors,” said Smith. “We practise at Hillview and play road games every week. This group of boys exemplifies Panther football so it would be nice for them to play their first-ever home game.” The Maroons were also in Kamloops Friday night, manhandling the host Valleyview Vikings 33-0 after overcoming a case of bus leg early on. QB Tye Kitzman paced Fulton’s attack with 201 aerial yards and four TD passes, three of them to Mike Williamson (32, 36 and 41 yarders). Max Chapman recorded the other, a 32-yard reception. “Kitzman was awesome on both sides of the ball. He is a great kid who lives football and he deserves to get games like that due to his work ethic,” said Fulton head coach Mike Scheller. On the ground, Williamson led the way with 73 yards, Kitzman ran for 71 and Chapman earned 64. On defence, Chapman and Darien Broomfield each delivered nine tackles, while Sikandar Ahmad had seven. Kitzman picked off three passes for 56 total yards at free safety and Chapman recovered a fumble. “Max Chapman was a beast on the blitz and he gave the Valleyview o-line fits,” said Scheller. “Bhupi Banga got his first starts as a starting slot and linebacker and acquitted himself very well.” Scheller also credited Grade 9 call-ups Cole Hunter and Hunter Kreiger for anchoring the left side of Fulton’s o-line. On the upcoming VSS matchup, Scheller added: “This is the biggest game of the year for us. Vernon is just a machine in this conference. They are talented and very well coached. We will have to play excellent just to compete.”

Vernon hosts 4-H delegates Morning Star Staff

Learning, laughs and networking were the focus as 4-H leaders from across British Columbia converged on Vernon last weekend. The group gathered at the Prestige Hotel for B.C. 4-H’s biennial Leaders’ and Key Leaders’ Conference. All seven 4-H regions were represented by 77 leaders, including delegates from Alberta, Ontario and the Yukon. The three-day conference focused on leadership training and building our 4-H youth in to the leaders of Sonja Gaudet tomorrow. Delegates took in a fun night at the O’Keefe Ranch Saturday, complete with an old fashioned scavenger hunt around the ranch and dinner at the Cattlemen’s Club Restaurant with entertainment from talented country crooners, Rob Dinwoodie and the Open Range who entertained everyone with their cowboy ways. The keynote speaker Sunday morning was Sonja Gaudet, Canadian Paralympic curler and threetime Paralympic gold medalist. Gaudet gave a very inspiring speech on applying the fours H’s, head, heart, health and hands to overcoming obstacles and achieving dreams. “I would like to say again how fantastic the conference was this past weekend. I feel newly re-energized and I am looking forward to getting involved in 4-H in the Kamloops area now that I have met some of the district leaders,” said Erin Palmer 4-H leader who recently relocated to Kamloops from Vancouver Island. The Leaders’ and Key Leaders’ Conference focuses on training and education for the 4-H leaders to take back to their clubs and 4-H members. There are currently 635 volunteer leaders in the province working with nearly 2,300 youth in 141 rural and urban 4-H clubs. B.C. 4-H is celebrating 100 years this year. While 4-H has changed and evolved a great deal since its beginnings in 1914, the impact of the program on our young people is as relevant today as it was a century ago. 4-H continues to teach young people to successfully meet the challenges, not only of their own futures, but also the future of their communities.

Roy and Inge Waters first met at a dance at the Grindrod Hall in 1958. They went their separate ways that night, but fate brought them together the following year once again at that same hall for another dance. That chance meeting blossomed into a love that has lasted 55 years and still going strong. The couple married Oct. 24, 1959 in Vernon and since have raised a loving family consisting of four children, and three grandchildren. Roy and Inge currently call Vernon home, and enjoy traveling, gardening, music,

“Congratulations on 55 years of marriage, and wishing you many more!”

From dream to reality

dream of one very determined man has at last become a reality, witnessed and assisted by all three levels of government and symbolized by a blast in the bedrock behind Catherine Gardens Oct. 16. This seniors housing project for people 55-plus is the brainchild and obsession of Pat Black Jack Gareb, manager of the Schubert Centre, who has somehow managed to weave together all sections of government and the community to produce this much-needed housing project. When Jack first floated this idea a few years ago to some people who were active in the seniors community most of us thought the idea a pipe dream at best. This goes to prove that you should never doubt a man with a dream, including a man who can talk city council into donating a rock shelf to the project along with permission to build. We should note that without Vernon council’s support this project would have died. Provincial support and advocacy was also supplied by MLA Eric Foster and the minister of housing, and MP Colin Mayes. Another important partner is Terra Lumina Life Lease Housing, which was also present at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. To see all levels working together on any project is a miracle in itself. Congratulations must also go to the Schubert board of directors, who views this retirement residence as much needed downtown housing for seniors. The building has 56 suites, with three units dedicated to low-income seniors, and the balance following a life lease model with the centre forming a non-

personal best

profit society that will continue the administration and maintenance for Catherine Gardens. Costs of units range from a onebedroom for $179,900 up to a twobedroom at $359,900 and to date 32 units have sold, with several reserves in place. Construction should be completed in late 2015. Units are not cheap but given the average cost of housing in Vernon, not exceptional and the location is ideal as one ages. Most buyers finance a unit by selling their existing home, and downsizing helps pay for retirement plus reduce transportation, home operating and maintenance costs. Personally I think this would be an ideal living situation for aging seniors who could walk to almost all shopping, medical and social locations while having a seniors centre, operated by seniors, at their fingertips. Kudos to our Vernon Farmers Market for their donation of 19,000 pounds of fresh produce to our Salvation Army Food Bank. Obtaining fresh fruits and vegetables on a limited income is difficult so this donation is very welcome. Most seniors begin to worry at this time of year about how to stay healthy with flu and colds already being reported around this area. Harvard Medical School, in their publication The Truth About your Immune System, reports that “following general good-health guidelines is the single best step you can take toward keeping your immune system strong and healthy. Here are some lifestyle strategies to follow: Do not smoke; follow a healthy eating plan high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains and low in saturated fat; exercise regularly; maintain a healthy weight; control blood pressure; if you consume alcohol do so in moderation; get adequate sleep; take steps to avoid infection. And get the regular medical screening tests for people in your age category.”

A restructuring within Lake Country municipal hall was the topic of discussion Thursday as the Oyama Community Club hosted an all-candidate’s forum. Candidates were grilled on a variety of questions from gates being closed on regional district parks in Oyama, the lack of park facilities for young kids, gravel pits, the future of Pelmewash Parkway and

the restructuring plan within the district that has come under fire in the past year. “How many years will it take to recoup the hundreds of thousands of dollars in severance packages the district had to pay out for the restructuring?” asked Allan Gatzke, a former councillor and one of about 60 Oyama residents who showed up to hear from candidates. Councillor-at-large incumbent Penny Gambell said it may take up to 18 months before the district is able to pay off the severance while incumbent Oyama councillor Owen Dickie defended the changes at municipal hall. “What happened is a significant streamlining that has resulted in an increase in production and better staff relations,” said Dickie. “There are costs and those costs are difficult to avoid when you eliminate positions.” James Baker, who is currently mayor, also defended the moves within city hall, saying the restructuring actually began before the last three year municipal term and is now complete. “We may have to do some re-hiring, we may have to look at increasing staff but right now we are managing to provide all the services,” said Baker. “It may be hard in some of the departments that are a bit short but we can look at that.” Baker is running against longtime Lake Country businessman Jayson McCarthy, who told the crowd gathered that it was time for a change in leadership within Lake Country. “I heard all of council talk about saving money and streamlining in this (restructuring) process and we’ve all been talking about how much we love Lake Country,” said McCarthy. “But the department that felt the most of council’s wrath was the Parks and Rec. department. It has been decimated so I don’t know how you can say we are looking after the taxpayers when Parks and Rec has been cut and those parks are a major reason why we all want to live here. The very people that help us keep Lake Country beautiful are the people that have been restructured or in some cases moved out the door.” In the Oyama ward, Dickie is being opposed by newcomer Keli Westgate. Westgate said she has a vision for controlled business growth in Oyama that could be associated with a future rail trail. “I see small businesses associated with the rail trail,” she said. “If we can accommodate the small business in a low rise building where seniors could live and they are closer to the amenities that would be great.”

Spall meets Stone ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

A Spallumcheen meeting with the Ministry of Transportation will be held by Nov. 7 to discuss the province’s 10-year transportation plan. Minister Todd Stone announced earlier this month a plan to build on transportation successes over the past 10 years by indentifying short-, medium- and longerterm priorities and project to enhance B.C.’s transportation network. “Our No. 1 priority will be the continuation of four-laning the highway (Highway 97A),” said Coun. Todd York. Mayor Janice Brown said the township has its own transportation, which the ministry is aware of, and it lists improvements to McLeod Road, the turnoff into the Log Barn off Highway 97A and Harding Road as its top priorities. Coun. Joe Van Tienhoven will meet with ministry staff. A date for the meeting has yet to be set. Breakfast cash A worthwhile cause will receive some funding from Mayor Janice Brown’s discretionary fund for a second year in a row. Council voted unanimously to contribute $300 to Pleasant Valley Secondary School’s Breakfast For Learning program, which is run by volunteer staff, students and community members. The school served more than 5,000 breakfasts last year. “I’ve seen firsthand how effective the programs are at the school,” said York. “They’ll make this $300 multiply.” Rules stipulate that an organization may not receive a contribution three years in a row from the mayor’s fund, so staff will send a letter to the school informing them about the township’s grant-in-aid program.

Spall urged to count ballots by hand roger knox Morning Star Staff

A former Spallumcheen mayor would like the township to count voting ballots the old-fashioned way. By hand, not machine. Guenter Rieger presented to council his concerns over electronic counting. “Security experts say a specific kind of electronic voting machine is vulnerable to being hacked,” said Rieger, citing a Princeton University professor’s statement that electronic voting “is most certainly prone to the modern version of fraud – hacking – from anywhere in the world. It’s wireless and easy for anyone.” Rieger also pointed out that the last 15 municipal elections in the township saw less than 50 per cent voter turnout. With that, and the security concerns, Rieger asked the township to count ballots by hand. Council thanks Rieger for his presentation but did not make any recommendations. Chief administrative officer Corey Paiement said there would not be time to make a chance for next month’s election, and that the method of vote counting in the township is established by bylaw, so a new bylaw would be required. Commissionaires on job Spallumcheen has extended its contract with Commissionaires B.C. for bylaw enforcement. The two sides agreed to a one-year extension for 2015 at the 2014 rates, $31 an hour on a guaranteed minimum of six paid hours per week. “Given this worked well in the past year, township staff concluded it would be beneficial to continue the agreement with

the Commissionaires,” wrote deputy corporate officer Cindy Graves in a report to council.

Besides handling township complaints and general bylaw contravention matters, the Commissionaires

do business licence inspection, respond to open burning contraventions where possible and take a pro-

active approaching in following up on businesses operating in the township without a business licence.

Cathi Litzenberger Morning Star Columnist

Halloween was a fun time when I was growing up; my mother would often boil up a package of Lipton chicken noodle soup, throw in a quart of home-canned tomatoes to make it stretch further, and we’d all eat before heading out to fill our pillow cases with treats. Of course back then, people trusted their neighbours and fellow humans and in our town seldom was anything ever tossed just because it was homemade or unwrapped. Treats were simple and I can only recall a couple of times finding a little chocolate bar or one of those little boxed goodies in my bag. People often filled little bags with a handful of popcorn or peanuts, added a Chicklet box and maybe a sucker. There were many candy kisses, peanuts, apples, individual bubble gums and those rolls of tiny candies we still see today, plus cookies and fudge. My mom always took all of our apples to bake something wonderful but other than that, we were allowed all of our treats. No one ever got sick or died! Today’s recipes include severed fingers, a spooky shepherd’s pie, as well as a twisted hot dog recipe and a scrumptious make-ahead pizza dessert that has a moist brownie crust and a topping made of chopped candy bars and Cool Whip. Perfect for Halloween. Wishing all ages fun this coming Halloween. Severed Fingers Halloween Cookies 2 tablespoons red food colouring 30 blanched almonds 2 large eggs 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup butter, at room temperature 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar 5 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 pinch salt 1-2/3 cups all-purpose flour Heat oven to 350. Line two baking sheets with Silpats (French nonstick baking mats) or parchment paper, and set aside. Place food colouring in a shallow bowl. Crack each whole almond into halves and toss them into the bowl with the food colouring and stir them until the colour is evenly distributed. Leave them in the bowl and stir them every so often until the colour is as dark as you like. Separate 1 egg. Set aside the white. In a small bowl, whisk together yolk, remaining egg and vanilla. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine butter, confectioners’ sugar, granulated sugar and salt. Beat on medium speed until well-combined. Add egg mixture, and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the flour, and mix on low speed just until incorporated. Wrap the dough in plastic, and chill until firm, 20 to 30 minutes. Divide the dough in half. Work with one piece at a time, keeping remaining dough covered with plastic wrap, and chilled. Divide the first half into 15 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece back and forth with palms into finger shapes, 3 to 4 inches long. Pinch dough in two

Bake up a batch of Severed Fingers Halloween cookies for a tasty — and scary — treat on Oct. 31. places to form knuckles. Score each knuckle lightly with the back of a small knife. Transfer fingers to prepared baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough. When all fingers are formed, brush lightly with egg white. Position almond nails; push into dough to attach. Bake until lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Cool completely. Note: To make the knuckles more creepy, just shape them big and uneven. To keep them from puffing out too much, roll the fingers extra skinny (skinnier than you want them to look if that makes sense). Spooky Shepherd’s Pie 1 lb. extra lean ground beef 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped 2-1/2 cups frozen mixed vegetables 1 (14-1/2 oz.) can Italian-style diced tomatoes, undrained 1 (12 ounce) can beef gravy 3 cups mashed potatoes 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese 1 egg, slightly beaten Heat oven to 375 F. Spray a 12-inch skillet with cooking spray and brown the ground beef and onions over medium high heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain, if necessary. Set aside 12 peas from the mixed vegetables for garnish. Add the remaining frozen vegetables, tomatoes and gravy to the ground beef. Heat to boiling. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes or until the vegetables are crisp tender, stirring occasionally. Spoon the ground beef mixture into an ungreased 8 inch square baking dish. Mix together the mashed potatoes, Parmesan cheese and

egg. Spoon onto the hot beef mixture in upright mounds to resemble ghosts. Place 2 reserved peas on each mound to resemble eyes. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until potatoes are set and mixture is thoroughly heated. Barbecued Worm Sandwiches 8 hot dogs 1/2 cup barbecue sauce 8 slices processed cheese 8 hamburger buns (toasted if desired) Cut each hot dog in half lengthwise, then cut each half in thirds to make 6 strips. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat hot dog strips over medium-high heat until strips begin to curl. (Strips will curl slightly when heated.) Gently stir in barbecue sauce until hot dog strips are coated. Heat until bubbly. Place slices of cheese on bottom halves of buns. Top with hot dog mixture, and cover with top halves of buns. Kids 6-10 yrs. love these. Bats & Bones Brownie Pizza 1 pkg. (16 oz.) brownie mix Yellow and red food colouring (15 drops yellow, 3 drops red) 2 cups thawed Cool Whip Whipped Topping 12 fun-size candy bars (1/2 oz. each), chopped (about 1 cup) 2 Tbsp. Halloween sprinkles Heat oven to 350 F. Prepare brownie batter as directed on package; spread onto bottom of 12-inch pizza pan sprayed with cooking spray. Bake 15 min. or until toothpick inserted in centre comes out with fudgy crumbs. (Do not overbake.) Cool 30 min. Add food colourings to Cool Whip; stir gently until wellblended. Spread over brownie; top with remaining ingredients. Cut into wedges.

The murder of a fine, fit, friendly and unarmed Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was not a thoughtless act, instead it was soaked in callousness and contempt. The slaughter was meant to burn beyond the deed itself, to speak fundamental insult to the very ideas of honour, sacrifice and solidarity which are our military’s credo and our country’s ideals. “The killer was a hateful brute, let us not name him, but today was not the damn killer’s.

country is unanimous on all the matters that count — bravery, duty, selflessness, you are as good as they get. The office of Sergeant-atArms can never have been better filled. So as we mourn the soldier Cpl. Cirillo, let us honour the Sergeant Mr. Vickers; they encompass between them so much of what we Canadians choose to admire and love.” In Quebec a soldier was killed in the parking lot of a recruitment centre, another act of cowardice. Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent was killed in St-Jeansur-Richelieu, Quebec. These young men in the military accepted

the risks they may face but I am sure did not expect to die in their home country, Canada, guarding a monument or innocently in a parking lot outside an office. I watched Mr. Vickers in the house of commons receiving a standing ovation from the members of parliament; he didn’t blink, he didn’t change his facial expression, stoic, on guard ready to serve. Our leaders are saying that we will not give over our freedoms for fear and this is so important for our leadership and for us as citizens. We are Canadians — proud, strong and free and we are a diverse group who have together built this country. Our soldiers did not die so that our enemies infiltrate our decisions through our fearful thoughts and actions. This is a sad time for our country, and worse for the families of the soldiers who died.

They have to live with the loss and sacrifice on a daily basis. Lest we forget. As in any situation where we are confronted it is important not to give our national or personal power away. It takes thousands of people to provide service to us in many forms so that we may enjoy this privileged life and freedoms. Service in many forms such as police, security, fire and emergency services, health care providers, educators, social workers, mental health and substance use workers, child care providers, government workers for our licences, taxes and customs officers. Thank you to all the men and women who provide these services. Thank you for the role you carry out in making our neighborhoods, our communities, province and country a great place to live. Let us not forget. Ever.

Montessori program continues to grow Morning Star Staff

Montessori in Vernon has changed a fair bit since Cathy Goss’ last speaking engagement here in 2009. At that time the program was expanding to offer a second primary class. Now with a total of five classrooms covering Grades 1 to 6 and threatening to burst the seams of Silver Star elementary school, the Vernon Montessori Society is proposing a kindergarten Montessori class for September 2015. “Demand for the program is great and continues to grow,” said Gladys Fraser, society president. “Parents were lined up by 5 a.m. on registration day to secure their child’s placement last year.” The program is open to all families in the district and an information night on Tuesday is intended to help families decide if Montessori is the right choice for their child. Guest speaker Goss will touch on the basics of Montessori philosophy, ways to determine if your child is a fit for Montessori and Montessori a fit for your family. She will focus on ways to support your child’s learning at home. “Montessori classes require students to be self

starters and develop intrinsic motivation for learning as they make their way through most lessons at their own pace. This doesn’t mean these classrooms are unorganized,” said Fraser. “On the contrary, a Montessori class requires a director (classroom teacher) who is very organized and often offers a more structured environment than traditional classes. As each child works independently, there can be up to 30 lessons happening at the same time in a classroom. Well-structured, organized lessons allow this to happen.” Montessori schools have some prominent alumni, many of whom credit the free-flowing classes with teaching them to think differently and allowing them to change the world. A few of these are: Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Sean (Diddy) Combs, Dakota Fanning, Julia Child, writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez and inventor Alexander Graham Bell, who helped create the first Montessori school in Canada. Goss is a valued resource as a Montessori educator who has experienced the system as both parent and teacher. Her son and daughter had 10 years of Montessori education in public schools. Goss has retired from classroom teaching but continues to act as a teacher on call. The open house and Goss’ presentation takes place Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. at Silver Star elementary school.

Caravan scares up a show for all seasons Caravan’s temporary AD talks the Walk of Terror and upcoming plays at the farm Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

Anita Rochon has gone into the woods, under full and half moons, where horses neigh nearby and creepy things lurk. The co-founder/artistic director of Vancouver’s The Chop Theatre is no stranger to the macabre goings on that occur at Caravan Farm Theatre this time of year. For the past three years, she has trekked her way to the outdoor theatre in Spallumcheen to be a part of Caravan’s themed theatrical Halloween event, the Walk of Terror, and this year is no exception. However, this time Rochon is staying on at the farm a bit longer, as she steps in as the theatre’s temporary artistic director while full-time AD Courtenay Dobbie plays mommy to her new daughter. (Dobbie will be back to direct Caravan’s 2015 summer production, The Night’s Mare.) “I am enjoying being around the horses and the amazing people that come through here,” said Rochon, who was also at the farm last winter to direct Caravan’s sleigh-ride production, Little Brother, Little Sister. “This is such a welcoming community... I even joined the gym (in Armstrong) and someone asked if I was working at Caravan and seemed to know I was from Vancouver. We must stand out around here.” Rochon isn’t the only out-of-towner who comes to these parts to create the kind of theatrical experiences that most city dwellers rarely get to see. Besides being a working horse ranch (the farm is home to four pairs of Clydesdales, who are trained to not only pull sleigh-loads of people during winter shows, but also

That will be seen when Caravan goes the extra mile this year to present four productions – one for each of the seasons. “The theatre is so land-based in embracing all the seasons, so this year we thought we’d do a spring show,” said Rochon, who is directing the original piece, In Like A Lion, which will have a four-date run in May. “It’s based on Persephone and her descent into Hades and the complicated relationship she has with her mother, which fits as it will be done over the Mother’s Day weekend,” said Rochon. But first, Rochon will hand over the directing reigns to Vancouver’s Rachel Peake, who is now just mounting a new opera (Stickboy), with libretto written by

spoken word artist Shane Koyczan, with Vancouver Opera. Peake will be at Caravan this winter to stage the sleigh-ride production The Contest of the Winds, written by Shuswap-based playwright/musician Linz Kenyon, whose script is based on an Interior Salish (Secwepemc) legend. The play will feature design by Caravan veteran Catherine Hahn, who created the incredible puppets and masks for last year’s summer show, The Tragical Comedy of Punch and Judy. “We’ve actually started the preparations for the winter show in conjunction with the Halloween show,” said Rochon. Speaking of the Walk of Terror, joining Rochon this year to create the mobile theatrical journey through the woods are Toronto artists Georgina Beaty, who has not only acted in productions around Canada,

including at Caravan (she played Jenny in The Notorious Right Robert and his Robber Bride), but also writes and directs, and Brendan McMurtry-Howlett, a director and actor who has appeared on stage and was on TV series Degrassi: The Next Generation. They join Caravan prop designer Scott Crocker and Rochon’s Chop Theatre cofounder Emelia Symington Fedy in creating a hair-raising spectacle based on the 1940s’ American radio series The Whistler. Described as a thriller/suspense series, where people who committed criminal acts were typically undone either by an overlooked but important detail or by their own stupidity, The Whistler would say that “these things happen because evil is all around you,” said Rochon. “We used this period as the esthetic on the walk with the raw nature and the ‘30-’40s look, red lipstick... and a twisted sense of humour. It’s based on film noir, but is a bit different. We switch it up.” Fitting into that theme is musician Jack Garton, of Maria in the Shower fame, who is bringing his new squeezebox dance party, the Demon Squadron, to perform in Caravan’s open-air timber frame barn right after the Walk of Terror ends. Described as howling blues-dub sorcerers, who irreverently mix musical styles and approaches, the Vancouver/ Galiano Islandbased trio consists of drummer Amrit Basi (Blackberry Wood), bassist Brendon Hartley (also of Maria in the Shower) and Garton on accordion, trumpet and voice. “We felt so lucky to have a band that fits right into the theme,” said Rochon. The Walk of Terror kicks off Caravan’s 37th season Halloween night. Gates open at 6:30 p.m. and the walk goes from 7 to 8 p.m. Jack Garton and the Demon Squadron take the stage at 8 p.m. Prizes will be awarded for best costume. Tickets are $19/adult in advance and $24 at the gate. Children 12 and under are $6. Tickets are available at the Ticket Seller, 549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.

VSO violinist to brighten the day with a little morning music Morning Star Staff

Enjoy a coffee, a treat, and then the sweet sounds of the violin at the next Morning Melodies, taking place at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Nov. 4. Hosted by pianist Sarah Hagen, Morning Melodies is a series of intimate classical music concerts taking place on select Tuesday mornings. Each event begins at 10 a.m. with coffee, tea, treats and a chance to chat with the musi-

cians, followed by a 70-minute concert at 10:30 a.m. This second performance of the Morning Melodies series features violinist Joan Blackman. In addition to her role as the associate concertmaster of the Vancouver Symphony, Blackman has performed across Canada and is frequently heard in recital broadcasts on CBC Radio. “I like to capture the intimacy of chamber music,” said Blackman. “It’s an experience

that’s intimate and exciting, making connections between the different composers.” Praised for her lyricism, precision and ravishing tone, Blackman plans to deliver a vibrant and lively morning of music. Tickets for Blackman’s Morning Melodies concert are $33 for seniors, $35 for adults, and $18 for students. Contact the Ticket Seller box office by calling 549-SHOW (7469) or online at www. ticketseller.ca for more information.

Acclaimed artist shows face in Headspace Morning Star Staff

Ann Kipling’s work, be it landscape, goats, plants or human, records a vibrational liveliness. The celebrated Falkland artist’s mark making is diligent, filled with energy and presence, says Headbones Gallery owner Julie Oakes. About to show her new portraits in the exhibition, Headspace, at Headbones, Kipling has a discipline that demands a balanced head space and a willingness to engage. “In her ongoing works of portraits this perception of energy is especially acute. Every inch of space, empty or occupied, is alive,” says Oakes. Now in her 80th year, Kipling was born in Victoria and started drawing the landscape upon graduating from the Vancouver School of Art in 1960. She has lived in Richmond, the Lynn

Valley, in Oyama and for the last 37 years has called the countryside near Falkland home, which she shares with her husband , renowned sculptor Leonhard Epp. Kipling works exclusively on paper –drawing and printmaking, with ink, pencils, pens, pastels, pencil crayons, watercolours– and her work can be found in numerous public and private collections across Canada, including the National Gallery of Canada, The Vancouver Art Gallery and the Artists For Kids Gallery. In the exhibition catalogue For the Record, Drawing Contemporary Life, which showed at the Vancouver Art Gallery in 2003, Kipling said, “When I am drawing from the figure or the landscape, I am fascinated by the change, movement, energy and transformation of form in a seemingly static situation.” In 2008, Kipling

received an honorary doctorate from the Emily Carr University recognizing her contributions to the Canadian artistic landscape. In 2011, the Douglas Udell Gallery in Vancouver hosted a retrospective of Kipling’s portrait work, which like her landscapes, are recorded over time. The model is required to pose in one position as Kipling records the impressions and small shifts in the movement to produce the portrait. Later, she invites the model to move, and this change of position is recorded. “It is an intense Ken Smedley presents THE

cooperation between the sitter and the artist,” said Oakes. “There is an authenticity in the process that transfers into the piece, to carry through time. Each mark is stolen from that brief present. It records the past and pushes the image through to the future, to be seen again. And the vibrancy is retained.” Ann Kipling’s Headspace opens with a reception at Headbones, 6700 Old Kamloops Rd., Thursday from 6 to 9 p.m. The exhibition continues to Nov. 30. Contact the gallery at (250) 542-8987 for information.

Avenue Q is on its way Continued from B6

For options with less screaming and more music, a couple of Vernon’s best known bands are on stage at different venues for All Hallows’ Eve, Friday. If an 11-piece swing band is your groove, check out the Legendary Lake Monsters playing at the Japanese Cultural Society Hall starting at 8:30 p.m. For a Celtic inspired night with a reggae twist, Cod Gone Wild is on stage at the Paddlewheel Park Hall along with special guests Tasman Jude for their masquerade and costume ball starting at 8 p.m. Both events feature costume prizes and more and tickets are on sale through the Ticket Seller. Looking ahead to what could be considered the calm serenity of November, get yourself ready for the municipal election Nov. 15. The Vernon Performing Arts Centre is hosting all-candidate forums for both the City of Vernon and the District of Coldstream. Questions will be presented both in written form and open mic. The Vernon forum is Tuesday, while the Coldstream forum is Thursday. Admission is free for each event, but donations are encouraged with proceeds going to the Performing Arts Centre society’s children’s theatre fund. On Nov. 4, violinist Joan Blackman joins pianist Sarah Hagen for the second of four 2014/15 Morning Melodies concerts. Arrive at the Performing Arts Centre 10 a.m. for coffee, refreshments and a chance to chat with the musicians, followed by a 70-minute concert starting at 10:30 a.m. in the Marie Fleming Hall. Tickets are still available through the Ticket Seller by calling 549-7469. And on Thursday, Nov. 6, Vancouver’s Arts Club Theatre Company is on stage at the Performing Arts Centre with their warm and fuzzy production of Avenue Q starting at 7:30 p.m. In one of the biggest theatre events of the year, puppets rub shoulders with humans in this Broadway musi-

cal just for adults. Utterly hysterical and occasionally PC, Avenue Q is the raunchy puppet show

that beat out Wicked for best musical in 2004. Call the Ticket Seller for your tickets.

HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist IAN JOHNSTONE

People with heart conditions are at greater risk of dying from the flu than those with any other chronic condition. They have a greater chance of having complications from the flu so it is important to have that layer of protection that the flu shot provides. Flu shot time is here. Get yours soon. Ever wonder why we link colds with cold weather? Our mothers always told us to button up … or you’ll catch a cold. But the cold is caused by viruses not cold weather. Colds are more common in winter because people spend more time indoors, living closer together giving the virus a better chance to spread. Frequent hand washing will minimize the spread. To get the most of your time in your doctor’s office, be prepared. Make a list of symptoms regarding your problem including what it is, when it occurs, for how long and how often and anything you’ve tried that helps or worsens the problem. Bring your medication list as well. These ideas help you and your doctor to help you better. The pipeline containing new antibiotics is rather uncrowded right now even though The Infectious Disease Society of America urged researchers to come up with at least 10 new antibiotics by 2020. That was in 2010 and so far there has been only three approved. A Canadian researcher has found a possible new one in a Nova Scotian soil fungus. It shows promise but time and money will tell. New drugs? We will know about them. Pick our brains for knowledge.

it’s a musical. However, I really loved the song that Manolo sang to the bull, so maybe I’m getting turned around on this. The Book of Life, although seemingly convoluted, is really about how if we remember our loved ones that have passed, they live on. Despite being set in the multiple rich worlds of Mexican death culture, the film is not too dark for little ones. HOWE: The thing that gets me sometimes in animated movies is the cast they choose. I know they have to have some big names in them to draw the crowds in, but do kids know who Tatum or Ice Cube are? If they had used Joe Bloggs, who lives down the road, as one of the voices, I would have been none the wiser and wpuld have still enjoyed it. TAYLOR: I agree. Where are the Mexican actors? – Taylor gives The Book of Life 2.5 snake staffs out of 5. – Howe gives it 3 magic pins out of 5. – Fenin gives it 5 skeletons out of 5.

Based on a folktale from Mexico, the story is told with intricately crafted puppets by a duo of mariachi style musicians from another era. “This intimate production takes full advantage of the possibilities that puppetry brings to storytelling,” said Cathy Stubington, founder and puppeteer with Runaway Moon, who with Salvadoran actor Zompopo Flores created Dream in 1996. It was first performed at the Caravan Farm Theatre the following year and was revived by Runaway Moon for a tour of B.C. communities in 2011, and again for a festival in Victoria in September. Both humourous and poignant, the play is designed primarily for adults, but like all Runaway Moon productions, it can be enjoyed by those five and older.

New generation begins at Nolan’s Editor’s note: This story originally appeared in The Tablet magazine, a publication of the B.C. Pharmacy Association. ELISE STEEVES

Special to the Morning Star

When Vernon’s Sam Nolan graduated from the University of British Columbia’s Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences in May of this year, he had some pretty big shoes to fill. Not only was he joining the ranks of his father, Tom, and grandfather, Don, who had become community pharmacists before him, but he was set to work at family-run Nolan’s Pharmasave, established in 1927 by his great-grandfather, Hazel, and his brother, Chester. “We have a lot of seniors in our community who seemed to recognize me right away, before actually knowing my name,” said Sam. “They always say I must be a Nolan; I have my grandfather’s look.” While his kindergarten journals reveal that, at age five, he already wanted to be a pharmacist, at times, Sam went back and forth with the decision. In 2004, he began working as a staff member on the front tills, and progressed his way from stocking shelves into the dispensary as an assistant. “It’s always given me a sense of home and made me feel connected to my grandparents,” he said. After completing two years of medical biochemistry at UBC Okanagan in Kelowna, Sam knew his passion for pharmacy wasn’t going away, and made the trek to Vancouver to complete the fouryear UBC program. “A Nolan had graduated from UBC exactly every 30 years since 1927,” said Tom. “In 1927, 1957, 1987 and now 2014. Sam kind of upset the rhythm by graduating early.” As pharmacy manager at Nolan’s, Tom said he too knew from an early age that he would follow in the family business. “I grew up in the pharmacy and was exposed to it my whole life. Part of it is I was well aware of the lifestyle the profession provided. As a pharmacist, you have to be a people-person, and as pharmacy manager or owner, you have to be someone who loves the retail world

On a business level, his concerns lie with the challenges and time-consuming process of dealing with PharmaCare and third-party payers. Yet Nolan’s Pharmasave continues to strive to expand its clinical services. A compounding pharmacy, the location does a lot of hormone replacement therapy and veterinary prescriptions, and includes a clean room for injectables and ophthalmics. It services the local hospice house and has a palliative care specialist pharmacist available 24 hours a day. With a population of approximately 40,000, Vernon is far from rural, yet it still has the benefits of a close-knit community of health providers. “We’re certainly familiar with all of the local physicians’ signatures, names and voices, which makes authenticating prescriptions a lot easier,” said Tom, noting the industry has grown drastically in recent years, with 18 community pharmacies now located in the small city. To adapt to the situation, Nolan’s

Also under the Pharmasave banner, the hospital location is a full-fledged community pharmacy, serving not only emergency room and discharged patients, but also providing a convenient location for hospital staff and nearby residents. “It’s been quite an interesting experience as various hospital

departments begin trusting us and relying on pharmacists for more services,” said Tom. Traditionally, when patients are discharged with deep vein thrombosis or coagulation issues, they go through a teaching program provided by the hospital, followed by seven days of injectable therapy with daily INR monitoring before bridging over to oral warfarin or other medications. Since the new pharmacy has opened, Vernon Jubilee Hospital has rolled that

process over to Nolan’s community pharmacists. “Patients are still required to do five to seven days of daily lab visits, but now our pharmacists monitor patients’ daily lab values and adjust their warfarin dosage, instead of having the strain put on the emergency department,” said Tom. Like many community pharmacies, they also run diabetes programs that focus on meter training, insulin training and devices. It’s a process that continues to evolve and look for ways to enable pharmacists to perform some of the more clinical parts, while the in-hospital diabetes educators continue to focus on a dietary and nutritional approach. “Most importantly, the pharmacy can capture patients before or immediately after they’re discharged,” Tom said. “It’s a very good step for most diabetics, and it’s been great seeing our staff become increasingly comfortable with counselling procedures.” Sam is also looking forward to implementing some of the transitional outpatient care programs now that the hospital location is in full-swing. “In the future I see pharmacists playing a much bigger role, including daily follow-up and contact in outpatient care immediately following discharge from hospital,” he said, “Especially for new diagnoses such as heart attack or stroke, or chronic disease in more severe stages such as heart failure or COPD.” Sam feels it’s an area where there is a disconnect in B.C.’s health care system, resulting in re-admissions and wasted health care money. Nolan’s Pharmasave puts a new spin on continuity of care as it nears its ninth decade in business. “After being here for 87 years, there’s a significant loyalty factor to our customer base,” said Tom. “We often see multi-generational customers – grandchildren of the original customers – and they share stories about things that they find in their attics relating to old memorabilia.” He pointed to a particularly poignant example – old prescription labels and advertising with the pharmacy’s original phone number.

“Back when you only needed two digits to call somebody – you just dialed 2-9 to reach the pharmacy.” Nolan’s Pharmasave remains in the original heritage building from the early 1900s. “It’s a turn-of-thecentury building and we love to embrace the history,” said Tom. But with pharmacy continuing to move forward, there are some aspects of history both Tom and Sam are happy to leave behind. “A customer came in recently, an older gentleman who had been coming to the pharmacy since the 1940s, and he recalled seeing my grandfather and his brother smoking cigars in the dispensary,” said Tom, laughing. “He thought my grandfather was quite a character, but I have to say, I certainly couldn’t imagine that happening now.”

Humanomics makes cents Morning Star Staff

Humanomics credit unions have collaborated to launch a variety of financial literacy tools to assist Canadian parents in undertaking the importance discussing money matters with today’s youth. According to a national poll carried out by Ipsos Reid in March, only 44 per cent of Canadian parents speak with their children about financial matters. “Young people need to have the skills, knowledge and tools to make the right choices for their finances in the future, and we believe credit unions have a role to play in engaging youth and helping them build their financial literacy skills,” said Bruce Howell, president of Prospera Credit Union. After introducing Canada’s first-ever bonus savings account for 11- and 12-year olds earlier this year, the credit unions behind the Humanomics Youth Savings Account are now offering a free online workbook designed to create a money skills conversation between youth and parents. The workbook contains key tips to get children started on forming healthy financial habits. “Talking to kids about money isn’t always the easiest conversation,” said Marie Mullally, president of Credit Union Atlantic. “With so many mixed

messages coming at them from all directions, it’s hard to differentiate between wants and needs. Humanomics lists five simple tips to help parents approach the money conversation: Start young – Children love to collect things, so build on your child’s interest in coins and provide them with a piggy bank they can use to start a collection. Use visuals – There are a number of websites and apps available that have been designed to help children understand money management by tracking their spending, or helping them save for a specific goal. Leverage real life lessons – Take your child with you when you run errands such as grocery shopping and use store coupons to create a savings game. Give your child an allowance – Attach the allowance to specific duties to reinforce that financial compensation is reliant on certain tasks and responsibilities. Encourage savings – show your child that money has profit making potential all on its own.

A New Orleans haunting LAUREN KRAMER Special To The Morning Star

LOUISIANA - There’s nothing like a ghost tour to send chills down your spine, and if there’s one place where a tour like this feels believable, it’s New Orleans. People have been drawn to the city for hundreds of years, and many of them have found it difficult to leave, even in the afterlife. On a warm night in April, Rebecca Sell, a guide with Haunted History Tours of New Orleans, warns us what we can expect on our haunted New Orleans tour. “Most often people see orbs of light, but sometimes they see fingers,” she says candidly. “Some of the hauntings are emotional, so if you’re feeling sadness in a space, or a force of negative energy, trust your instincts. Something is there.” For the next two hours we shuffle around the French Quarter’s quieter streets, our path dimly lit by flickering gas lamps. On Delphine Street, Sell draws us close to relate the story behind the LaLaurie Mansion, a building constructed in the 1830s and one of the most haunted locations in the city. “The LaLauries were a very wealthy, philanthropic couple who once lived here. He was a doctor, but there was something weird about Mrs. LaLaurie,”

Sell says. “Her slaves just kept disappearing.” Turns out the doctor and his wife had been conducting horrific experiments on their slaves, mutilating and murdering them. The LaLauries disappeared the night of the city’s fire, never to be seen again, but firemen later found the disfigured remains of 40 slaves buried on the property. For the next 70 years, the mansion stood empty and noone wanted to go near it. After Hurricane Katrina, actor Nicholas Cage bought the property, spending one night in it before selling the home. Since then, no-one has managed to hold on to the house for more than a few years. “I’ve had people on my tours get physically ill and feel nauseas as we approach this mansion,” Sell says. “They see slaves in the windows. And when they try to take pictures, their cameras suddenly refuse to work, or the pictures come out with orbs of light that weren’t visible at the time. Ever the skeptic, I urged my son to aim his camera lens at the dark windows on the third floor. The photograph we examined seconds later was very different to what we’d seen with our naked eyes. As Sell described, inexplicable streaks of light appeared on our images and those of

others on the tour. We felt the hair on our arms rise and my son looked worried. “I’m feeling scared, mom,” he confessed. Sell’s tour is full of grotesque stories that frighten but somehow mesmerize us. Outside an abandoned building near the French Market, we learn about a group of kids that took their game of vampires to an extreme, drinking the blood of one of their friends and later hanging him after he lost consciousness. “This is a crazy place,” Sell says nervously, gazing with hesitation at the top

windows. As she speaks, the French Market lights that illuminate our gathering flicker briefly and then go off suddenly. We stand in a pool of darkness, feeling the negative, discomforting energy of the building wash over us. The next day we meet local psychic Judith Faye in a restaurant courtyard. The elegantly dressed, grey-haired woman conducts private readings using astrology, tarot and clairvoyant images, and we pepper her with questions. “It’s a very

old city, so of course it’s haunted,” she retorts. “But don’t take it too seriously – it’s entertainment!” The ghosts and macabre stories of the previous night’s haunted tour begin to dissipate and we move into the warm, sticky humidity of New Orleans’ French Quarter, gratefully absorbing its colorful, vibrant, boisterous personality that bursts from every corner. Ghosts and all, there’s nothing quite like New Orleans. Lauren Kramer is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

Premier Christy Clark said Reimer’s bill is expected to pass with unanimous support next week. She met with Terry’s father Rolly, sister Judith and brothers Darrell and Fred in her office Thursday to speak to reporters. Darrell Fox said the declaration will encourage volunteers who organize Terry Fox runs. “That’s why we’re so excited, because it gives them something to look forward to, to promote next year, and the fact that it has happened here in B.C.,” he said. “Terry Fox is everywhere, across this country and around the world, but he was from Port Coquitlam.”

Greaves pursues dream

.B. Greaves intended to control the cattle market and land the lucrative contract to supply beef to the thousands of railway construction workers in B.C. in 1882. With the backing of a high-powered syndicate, he spent the winter of 1881-82 buying cattle in the Okanagan and Nicola valleys. At the same time, Thaddeus Harper of the Gang Ranch, characteristically optimistic that he would win the 1882 contract for CPR beef, was purchasing cattle in the Kamloops area and intending to buy in the Okanagan and Similkameen. Ken Mather It was not long before cattlemen realized that something was afoot. By April, the British Columbian newspaper had heard of the competition and wrote: “Corner in Beef: It is reported that some shrewd speculators have secured a corner in Mainland beef, and that in consequence meat will have an upward tendency. It is estimated that a cool $150,000 will be made out of the unfortunate consumers, unless the corner is broke by some means not at present discovered.” The price of marketable cattle climbed steadily, eventually reaching $25 a head, and soon all threeyear-old and older cattle that had been accumulating on the ranges had been sold. Despite the efforts of J.B. Greaves and his partners, Thaddeus Harper received the contract to supply beef to the CPR for 1882. Undeterred, the syndicate continued to buy up cattle, still hoping to control the market. Harper successfully supplied beef during 1882 and obtained a renewed contract for 1883, but his supply of cattle could not meet the demands of the CPR work crews and, in the middle of the 1883 season, the syndicate finally took over the lucrative contract. From the middle of the 1883 season until the end of railway construction, the syndicate controlled the market and prospered just as they had hoped. Greaves continued to travel through the interior and purchase cattle well into the 1890s. Ranchers in the Okanagan, Thompson and Nicola valleys and those in the Cariboo came to trust that Greaves would pay fair prices and that his notes of credit were as good as cash. In the early years, Greaves would simply con-

RANCH TALES

firm a deal with a handshake and leave the cattle to be picked up later. It was soon obvious that the syndicate would need a ranch of its own to hold the cattle and raise them. Greaves formed a partnership with Charles M. Beak, who held a large amount of land in the Douglas Lake area. The next spring, Greaves, Beak and syndicate members William Curtis Ward and Charles Thompson bought out the rest of the original syndicate members who had already realized a huge profit. The four men then incorporated “a joint stock company for the purpose of carrying on a farming, stock raising and butchering business,” the Douglas Lake Ranch. The ranch owned more than 8,500 head of cattle and 8,000 acres of land. From this beginning, the Douglas Lake Ranch was to grow to be the largest cattle ranch in Canada.

Vernon October is Rotary’s Vocational Service Month What is vocational service? An active, engaged Rotarian, views vocational service as a way of life, even if Rotarians find it difficult to articulate a clear definition. Rotarians as business and professional leaders strive for service and Rotary’s vocational service equips us with ideas to help us practice it through Rotary club activities and in our careers. The concept of vocational service The Object of Rotary is a philosophical statement of Rotary’s purpose and the responsibilities of Rotarians. The concept of vocational service is rooted in the Second Object, which calls on Rotarians to “encourage and foster”: • High ethical standards in business and professions • The recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations • The dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society Rotarians put these ideals into action: • Talk about our vocations in our clubs, and take time to learn about fellow members’ vocations. • Use our professional skills to serve a community. • Practice our profession with integrity, and inspire others to behave ethically through our own words and actions. • Help a young person achieve his or her career aspirations. • Guide and encourage others in their professional development. “Rotarians doing any of these things are performing vocational service which motivates and energizes us because vocational service is the very essence of Rotary. It is what sets Rotary apart from other service organizations,” said president Janet Foster.

Ebola and Poliomyelitis Ebola has again struck in western Africa and has caused much fear, death and economic devastation. Ebola is apparently NOT highly infectious except through personal contact. POLIO IS HIGHLY INFECTIOUS. There are only three countries in the world where the polio virus is still endemic. Readers of a certain age will remember polio in Vernon when parents worried about their children at beaches and pools and that they might catch poliomyelitis and be lamed or die. Most of us who came of age in the 1950s and 1960s will know of houses in Vernon being quarantined, schoolmates or relatives who had polio and/or who were affected in some way about polio. Since that time and to those generations born after that, the scourge of polio is unknown to them and those in the western world as long as everyone received the Salk vaccine. Rotary International started a program in 1985 to eliminate polio worldwide and the work continues still today. The world’s attention is now focused on Ebola and the fight to contain it. Rotary, however, continues its Polio Eradication efforts and continues to itself fund and seeks funds from others to eradicate polio. This comes at an important time in the fight to eradicate polio, which would be only the second human disease to be eradicated. Only three countries (Nigeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan) have never stopped transmission of the wild poliovirus. Rotary has since 1985 contributed US$1.3 billion, and its members have logged countless volunteer hours to help immunize more than two billion children in 122 countries. Overall, remarkable progress has been achieved in the fight against polio. Since 1988, the number of polio cases has been reduced 99% from 350,000 a year to about 400 in 2013. In 2014, Southeast Asia was certified polio-free after India eliminated the disease from its borders, an incredible feat for a country once considered the hardest place on earth to stop polio. A highly infectious disease, polio still strikes children mainly under the age of five in parts of Africa and South Asia. Polio can cause paralysis and sometimes death. There is no cure for polio, but for as little as 60¢ worth of oral vaccine, a child can be protected from the disease for life.

Jack Peters celebrates 80 years on the planet President Janice Foster of the Rotary Club of Vernon introduced Jack Peters’ family who came to help the Vernon Club celebrate Jack’s 80th birthday. They included his wife, Betty, two of his daughters and their husbands, one granddaughter and one great-granddaughter. Jack cut a beautiful birthday cake, a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday was sung and because of all of those candles burning, the ﬁre alarm was temporarily turned oﬀ. President Janice then read greetings from Rotarians great and small, past and present and, of course, his family. The greetings stated that Jack’s contribution, Mr. Rotary in Vernon, is indeed an inspiration to all Rotarians. Bob Weatherill and Andrew Kern came up and both roasted and honored Jack by relating very funny historical, and presentday happenings about Jack. These stories can be told in public even but there is not space here. Jack responded to the roasting by thanking both Bob and Andrew. He told us how proud he is of his family. He also mentioned that he has been in Rotary for 39 years now and he is proud of his work on behalf of Rotary which included District Governor. He concluded with a very moving saying about Betty that she is “The Wind Beneath My Wings”.

The

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder THE OBVIOUS LEADS TO A MINUS SCORE Bob Uecker, who won the 1964 World Series with the St. Louis Cardinals, said, “I hit a grand slam off Ron Herbel and when his manager, Herman Franks, came out to get him, he was bringing Herbel’s suitcase.” To end the week, let’s look at a grand slam in which it would be easy for declarer to go down. How should South play in seven hearts after West leads the diamond queen? Many Wests these days, despite the unfavorable vulnerability, would have used the Unusual No-trump, jumping to two no-trump over one heart to describe their minor two-suiter.

North used a strong jump shift, showing an excellent spade one-suiter or a good spade-heart two-suiter with, typically, 13-16 high-card points -- enough to insist on game, but leaving a slam move to partner. Declarer seems to have 14(!) tricks: five spades, seven hearts, one diamond and one club. There is a natural reaction for South to win the first trick with dummy’s diamond ace and to discard his club five. But then the apparent home-run ball is caught by an outfielder when the spades break 4-0. South has two other choices at trick one. He can pitch a spade on the diamond ace. Then he can draw trumps and establish dummy’s fifth

spade by ruffing the fourth round in his hand. He would return to dummy with a trump and throw his club five on the spade eight. Alternatively, I like to ruff at trick one, draw trumps and turn to spades. When declarer sees the bad break, he knows to jettison a spade on the diamond ace.

Obituaries

Jim Gillies McGillivray

Michael Reiter Michael Reiter, “Opa” was born on July 18th, 1927 in Velika Greda, Yugoslavia, the eldest of four siblings. After serving in WWII, and then spending time in Austria and England, he sailed to Canada in 1952 for a new start. It was here that he met the love of his life Elfriede, his wife of 61 years, with whom he had three boys; Alan (Maureen), James (Laurie) and Rodney. He was also a very proud Opa to his grandchildren; Meghan (Jordan), Jillian (Curtis), Amanda, Brittany and Corey, as well as his great-grandchildren; Abigail, Jacob and Dawson. Opa will be remembered as an avid golfer at Spallumcheen, proudly sinking a hole-in-one in 1996. He was an exceptional bowler who still played at Lincoln Lanes. Largely though, he will be best remembered for his endless storytelling of “Back in my day”. Opa taught us the definition of hard work, determination and genuine appreciation for the life he earned. Never one to complain, it was his infectious smile that reminded us to keep positive, no matter the situation.

Gordon Francis Keilback

We regret to announce the passing of Gordon Francis Keilback on October 19, 2014 in Vernon, British Columbia. Gordon was born on August 15, 1930 in Beausejour, Manitoba. He was the second child of five children born to the late Frank Keilback and Katherine Steinhauer and was the beloved husband of Maria (Thysa) for over 50 years. Gordon will forever be remembered by his beloved children Frank and Kent, treasured grandchildren Kaydin and Maria, great grandchildren, Leara and Grimm, his devoted brothers Clifford and Fred, loving sisters Irene Dixon and Evelyn Robinson (predeceased), caring in-laws and along with countless nieces, nephews, cousins and friends whom were blessed to have known him.

Jim worked at the Worker’s Compensation Board for thirty years and upon retiring, spent his time filling many roles within Scouts Canada, The Creative Chaos Society and Sons of Scotland.

A celebration of his life will be arranged for mid-November. Arrangements for cremation have been made through Bethel Funeral Chapel, 5506 - 27th Street, Vernon, BC.
