Greater Vernon to vote on new arena RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Greater Vernon officials have left the bench and hit the ice in an attempt to garner voter support. It was announced Wednesday that a referendum will be held Nov. 28 to borrow $13.25 million to twin Kal Tire Place. “It’s a compressed time scale,” said David Sewell, Regional District of North Okanagan chief administrative David Sewell officer. The Ministry of Community Development had been withholding approval of the refer-

endum bylaw process, but final assent came Wednesday, paving the way for a referendum date to be set. The arena would be owned by RDNO and operated by the City of Vernon. Title would be transferred to the city in 20 years, bringing it in line with other local recreation facilities. Sewell is confident that all procedures for the referendum will be met. “We’ve been preparing for this and the City of Vernon is working on the communications side. We are prepared,” he said. It is hoped that ice user groups will help make the public aware of the need to replace the aging Civic Arena as an ice sheet and expand Kal Tire Place to the north. “They are anxiously waiting and I am sure they are

prepared to get the word out,” said Juliette Cunningham, Greater Vernon Advisory Committee chairperson. However, there could be some challenges, including opposition from the Vernon Farmers Market, which uses the Kal Tire Parking lot where the arena would be constructed. The Vernon Public Art Gallery had also asked that borrowing for a new gallery also be on the ballot, but that won’t occur. Cunningham says GVAC is currently exploring the future of cultural facilities and it would be premature to hold a referendum before those discussions are done. “It’s a process that we’re well down the road on,” she said. Five polling stations have been identified for the Nov. 28 referendum in Vernon, Coldstream and the BX, while advance voting would take place Nov. 18 and 25.

Sports superstars honoured RogeR knox

Morning Star Staff

owie Meeker knows a thing or two about Halls of Fame. The four-time Stanley Cup winner with the Toronto Maple Leafs, and Hockey Hall of Fame member as a broadcaster, was the guest speaker at the Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame 2015 induction ceremony before a capacity crowd at the Village Green Hotel Saturday night. Meeker, 92, accompanied by his wife, Leah, was on hand to help enshrine his longtime friend John Topping, the founder of the Funtastic Sports and Music Festival, along with Canadian snowboard cross star Drew Neilson and Canadian Paralympic sit-ski multiple medalist Josh Dueck. “John, you’re going to enjoy being in the hall of fame. I’m in a few of them,” deadpanned Meeker, much to the audience’s delight. “It’s a real pleasure. You’re going to associate with people who are in your class which worked as hard as you have. They’re great people. You’re going to have a ball. And you deserve it. I’ve met a lot of great, wonderful people in my lifetime. My friend here is one of them.” Topping, 63, founded the highly successful Funtastic Slo-Pitch Tournament 31 years ago. The tournament has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for local sporting facilities while injecting $4 million into the North Okanagan economy each summer. Topping is now doing the same for Venture Training and previously was chairman for the Cancer – Walk for the Cure and a director for Vernon Special Olympics. “I didn’t think of the hall of fame at any time I was doing Funtastic,” said Topping. “What I wanted to do is build up the community in the

place I live and love. To be inducted in the hall of fame is just cool. Thank you for the memories, and God bless.” Current Funtastic Sports Society board president Brett Kirkpatrick paid tribute to all of the inductees, and to hall of fame founder Nick Alexis (Topping said Funtastic was born at Alexis’ legendary downtown business, Nick’s Kandy Kitchen). Funtastic is a major sponsor of the hall of fame induction ceremony. “It’s fitting, especially tonight, to keep in mind the long history of leaders that have worked with Funtastic,” said Kirkpatrick.“Nick contributed $25,000 of his own money to start the hall of fame. He was active in Funtastic, a promoter of Funtastic and there’s a field named at DND in his honour. Same goes for John, the longtime president, founder and champion of Funtastic.” Dueck, 34, is an alpine skier who won a silver medal at the 2010 Vancouver Paralympics in the men’s slalom sit-ski event, then added gold and silver in Sochi in 2014, becoming Canada’s flag bearer at the Paralympics closing ceremony. In 2012, he became the first person to perform a backflip on snow in a sit-ski. Dueck is currently travelling with his family and could not attend the ceremony. He was represented by his parents, Peter and Vickie. Peter read a statement from their son. “My goal was never to be a champion or to be celebrated for my efforts though both have been nice compliments in my career,” said Dueck. “The vision I held was to always have as much fun as possible, push myself to find my personal best and

The 2015 inductees into the okanagan Sports Hall of Fame were honoured Saturday night at the Village green Hotel. The class includes (from left) Canadian snowboard cross star Drew neilson, his late father, hang gliding and auto racing champion Lew neilson (with Lew’s widow, Judy Hoy, accepting), Funtastic slo-pitch tournament founder John Topping, and Canadian alpine Paralympic multi-medalist Josh Dueck, represented by his parents, Peter and Vickie. to live my dreams of exploring the mountains… “I am sad to be missing today’s celebrations with you all - I love a good party and with reason to celebrate. I would like to raise a glass to every one of you for your contributions to sports, community, friends, family and fun.” The most poignant part of the evening came at the end. The hall of fame committee formally recognized 1983 inductee Lew Neilson, an auto racing and hang gliding champion who was killed in a gliding accident in 1977, and Neilson’s son, Drew, who won nine races on the FIS Snowboard Cross World Cup tour, the 2007 World Cup title, had 19 podium results, was 11th at the Vancouver Olympics and won gold at the X Games. Lew Neilson’s accomplishments

were on display at the original hall of fame home in Cenotaph Park. His widow, Judy Hoy, accepted a special recognition trophy. “Lew used to say to me when competing in sports, and knowing full-well the dangers involved, ‘who will remember me when I’m gone,’” said Judy. “Tonight, his sister, Nola, and three buddies he raced with are here to participate in this honour for Lew and Drew. I want to thank the sports hall of fame, this is wonderful.” Drew Neilson, 41, accompanied by his family, and many friends, held back tears as he accepted his induction. “Seeing my dad and all the stuff he did, growing up in Vernon, going downtown to the hall of fame, seeing my dad there, there wasn’t a day that went by that I told myself I was going to get there,”

said Drew. “The theme tonight is fun with Funtastic, Josh having fun, but with me it was win or die and I think that was the way my father was. “I would like to thank the committee for this honour.” The Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame is located inside Kal Tire Place.

MP defends his pension RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

North Okanagan-Shuswap’s retiring MP is putting his compensation package in perspective. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation says Colin Mayes, who was in office for almost 10 years, will receive an annual pension of $47,126 and a lifetime pension of $1,365,686. “I have to live a long time to collect that money,” said the 67-year-old. “I hope I do but Jim Colin Mayes Flaherty (former finance minister) didn’t. They could do that with an RCMP officer or a teacher or anyone with a pension. It doesn’t make me special.” Mayes also points out that he paid into the parliamentary pension program for almost a decade at about $117,393. “You go into a job and they say, ‘It’s your compensation package.’ It was the contract for employment.” For MPs who retired or were defeated on Monday, the CTF says taxpayers contributed $17 for every $1 put into the plan by an MP towards their pension. After January 1, 2016, the ratio will gradually shift to a ratio of $1.60 in taxpayer contributions for every $1 put in by an MP or senator. “These pension changes are a welcome step towards broader public sector pension reform,” said Aaron Wudrick, CTF federal director. “We encourage the new government to take the necessary steps to ensure government employee pensions are more in line with what the vast majority of Canadians working in the private sector expect to receive.”

Ranchers offer hefty reward for rustlers RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

A price has been put out on some rustlers. Rancher Jeremy Wasylyszyn and his family have launched a $10,000 reward for the arrest of the individuals who shot a cow and calf Tuesday near Cherryville. “Somebody has to catch them,” said Wasylyszyn, who farms in Vernon.

“This is $4,000 (for the cow and calf) so maybe $10,000 is an incentive to report them. We will see how good of friends he has.” The family had its herd out on the range for the summer, half an hour east of Cherryville near Edgewood. They were rounding up cattle Tuesday. “We drove by the cow and calf standing there in the morning and we came back

about two to three hours later, and they were shot,” said Wasylyszyn. Only the tenderloin portion from the back was taken from both the cow and calf. “They may have been scared off,” said Wasylyszyn. “They cut the identification tags off the ears but we found them in a brush pile.” Wasylyszyn is working with the RCMP and conservation officers as part of the

investigation. “I’m sure somebody saw something,” said Wasylyszyn, adding that there’s a lot of logging in that area. It’s not known if the incident near Cherryville is related to a number of cattle recently being killed on the Coldstream Ranch. The ranch has offered a $1,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of the individuals involved in those cases.

Shooting charges laid Morning Star Staff

Charges have been laid in an Enderby area shooting. On Monday at about 5:15 p.m., police officers were called to a property on the outskirts of Enderby. A 55-year-old man was found suffering from gunshot wounds while a 58-year-old man was arrested and taken into custody. Details are not being released about the firearm used, the number

of shots fired or the exact relationship between the individuals. Norman Dybdal appeared in court Wednesday on charges of attempted murder, aggravated assault and using a firearm in committing an indictable offence. He remains in custody and will appear in Salmon Arm court via video Oct. 27. The victim remains in hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Brooke McLardy (middle), with the Vernon Women’s Transition House Society, hugs Vernon Mayor Akbal Mund Tuesday while partners applaud the grand opening of the new Oak Centre, a child and youth advocacy building, the first of its kind in the Okanagan, in the old NOCLS building in Vernon. The new centre not only provides a more comfortable space for kids to open up, but it allows authorities to work together and perform just one interview. “With the centre, we can do an interview that is less traumatic for the child,” said Staff Sgt. Rob Daly. The centre is projecting 250 youth being served a year with the new space. “We know there are kids out there who aren’t telling their story because they aren’t comfortable,” said McLardy, urging those who are victims or witness to crime to call the

RCMP or MCFD. For social workers trying to assist families and children in such situations, the new centre is a breath of fresh air. “We are coming from a space that is just a little bit bigger than a desk,” said social worker Nicole Charney. “When you cram a social worker and another member in there it gets very crammed, you can’t move and it gets very hot.” The centre also includes a kitchen, shared boardroom, intake room, outdoor space and the Kalamalka Rotary Family Room.

“It can be their place if they need to come meet with a lawyer or a counsellor, they can do that here,” said McLardy. An army of volunteers worked to get the centre ready, including contractors and painters who donated time and supplies. “With this new centre, we have an amazing opportunity to focus on the best interests of children,” said Michael Gough, MCFD team leader. Vernon’s Mayor Akbal Mund is also eager to see the centre benefit children. “We have a beauti-

For a child who has been abused, sexually assaulted or witnessed domestic violence, there is finally a warm welcome centre for them to tell their stories. Replacing the cold, uncomfortable confines of the local RCMP detachment, the Oak Child and Youth Advocacy Centre officially opened Tuesday. The centre, located in the former North Okanagan Community Life Society building, is the first of its kind in the Okanagan. “There’s very few in B.C.,” said Brooke McLardy, acting executive director of the Vernon Women’s Transition House Society, which has administration offices in the building. Currently, child and youth victims attend the RCMP detachment, where they are interviewed by police as well as the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCDF). “The children aren’t comfortable,” said McLardy, adding that caregivers are also uneasy. “And depending on how comfortable they are they may or may not tell the whole story.”

The trick with treats

ow that the election is finally over (following the second longest campaign in history) and the barrage of baseball could soon be subsiding, we can finally get on with the real highlight of October. The real dilemma of the world has been splashed across newspaper flyers and stacked along store shelves for what seems like an eternity when you’re trying to restrain yourself. It’s a scary time of year for the hoards of us who are tryJennifer Smith ing to eat healthy, stick to diets and/or lose a few pounds. Rows of every kind of chocolate, candy and sweet treat imaginable have been haunting us for weeks now. Those perfect little, bite-sized portions trick us into thinking it’s OK to have just one, but just like those darn Lays chips, you can never have just one. It’s an evil trick they play, tempting us with all these goodies early on, knowing darn well we will devour our stash before the kids can even pick out their costumes. Therefore we will be back for more. Some of us are lucky enough to only have to make one extra trip for candy. Others will feverishly be running around Halloween day trying to find the best treats so their house doesn’t get egged by the neighbourhood goblins. Then, when the anticipation of Halloween finally breaks and the eve of spirits is upon us, we can relax with our candy bowl once again filled to the brim for all the little trick or treaters But it doesn’t stop there. We might be tempted to sneak a candy or two, or a handful of our favourites before the bowl’s remnants become nothing more than a ghost. Then for those of us who have kids, the terror strikes when their overflowing plastic

pumpkins and overweight pillow cases return home and are emptied onto the floor. All the glorious flavours of our youth, packed in colourful wrappers and convenient sizes taunt us. Whether you’re a fan of those chewy little molasses Kisses, the single Reese peanut butter cups or the sugary little Rockets, there’s so much temptation in our kids’ haul. The role of child protector instantly kicks in as we initiate our right to examine the treats for tampering and quality assurance. “This one looks suspicious, that one is definitely being confiscated, ooooh, Butterfinger,” the list of excuses goes on. But again, the ongoing temptation can continue to lurk. While some parents let their kids have their fill of candy that night, or over the next couple days, others like to limit and monitor their child’s sugar intake. I’ll admit, I’m one of those parents who keeps the pumpkin on top of the fridge for “my child’s well being.” When realistically, it’s so I have access to the stash. Some years I’ve really behaved myself, keeping the pumpkin up there for almost the entire year (I’ve never seen an expiry date on candy). My will power hasn’t been so strong in more recent years though, on top of the fact that my kid can now scale the counters like Spiderman and reach just about anything she has her sights on. Certain friends have also come to rely on the fact that I’m likely to have a stash right up to Christmas and even well into the new year. In fact, the pumpkin becomes a staple candy jar for treats from the stocking, Valentine’s goodies and Easter chocolates. Hence my year-round go-to when the sweet tooth strikes. I’m not sure what’s better, to devour it all in one sitting and get it done and over with, or divvy it up over time, which is a constant test of will power. Either way, this is where the horror begins. Where it ends, I’m scared to find out.

It’s a whirlwind turnaround but Greater Vernon residents are heading to the polls. The Regional District of North Okanagan announced Wednesday that a referendum will be held Nov. 28 to borrow $13.25 million for a new arena. The tight timeline came after the provincial government finally signed off on the process after months of unnecessary delays. What this means is that in about a month, voters in Vernon, Coldstream and the two electoral areas must decide if they are willing to bump up their taxes for twinning of Kal Tire Place. The obstacle is significant given that the region’s economy still continues to struggle and many people are finding it difficult to make ends meet. Of course, there is also a concern about the growing burden on taxpayers, whether it’s the recently opened athletics park or the prospect of a new art gallery and a multi-million-dollar master water plan. However, the case can also be made that there is a need for twinning Kal Tire Place as the existing ice plant at Civic Arena is on its last legs and investing money in a building constructed in the 1930s doesn’t make sense. Minor hockey still remains very popular as does ice sports at all ages, so the demand is there. A twinned facility could also host tournaments and other events, bolstering the local economy. The challenge now is for the regional district and its community partners to properly educate the public on the issue, both the benefits of a new facility and the long-term financial obligations. This could be an uphill battle not only because of the short time period before the referendum but also the reluctance of some residents to add to their tax load. The next month will be active as information is provided and residents are urged to take sides. Keep yourself informed and make sure you have your say.

Barking up the wrong tree

'm appalled that recently our Vernon mayor and council, except Scott Anderson, voted to make the popular Marshall Field dog walk area on-leash only. Apparently, this is a solution looking for a problem. City staff were reported to have two reasons for recommending a change from off-leash to on-leash. One is protection of the endangered spadefoot toad habitat, for which the city, in respect of a provincial Ministry of Environment agreement, has built or enhanced the ponds along the southern portion of Marshall Field. I’m told most of the toads are in these ponds, and ponds on the old Lakers Golf Course, with much fewer in the creek, where some of our dogs like to cool off and play. Of the kilometre or so of creek through Marshall Field, there are only a handful of spots, a small fraction of this distance, where dogs typically access the creek. I appreciate that preservation of habitat for toads, and other creatures, means we should limit our impact upon these riparian areas to preserve connectivity. But

HEALTH CARE WOES I feel embarrassed writing this letter because I was always proud of our health care system and the way it provided so much care for our ailing seniors. However, in 2001, the neoconservative wing of the Liberal government started its mean-spirited campaign against seniors by cutting many valuable programs. That campaign reached its lowest point last year when the premier made her inane comment that seniors have to look after themselves, that they can't expect society to do it for them. What other politician in any jurisdiction would make such a ridiculous comment? In the Okanagan, extended health care is in crisis because the government has done very little to provide more subsidized beds, referring people to very expensive privately run facilities. The health ministry committed a big blunder when it scrapped

does that have to mean no access to the water for our dogs? I think not. City staff and council could easily find a more refined solution than a blanket loss of off-leash exercise for our dogs. How about no dogs within five metres of the ponds, and access to the creek restricted to two or three defined points? The second reason given for going onleash only is to reduce the number of dogs, and their droppings, on the playing fields,

the in-home assistance program to keep seniors in their homes as long as possible. In the mid-90s, this program would have a care worker visit a senior's home two or three times a week, do some housework, prepare some meals and supervise bathing. When seniors face a health care crisis for a spouse, they don't need a social worker telling them they'll have to sell their home and otherwise harass and intimidate them. Now can you believe this? Seniors can be told their spouse may stay in hospital until a bed is found elsewhere but then they must sign an Interior Health contract agreeing to pay up to $35 per day. But it gets worse. If you refuse to accept the first offer of a bed at an extended care facility, you must agree to pay $1,000 a day to stay in hospital. This has to be the most dis-

and to minimize confrontations between dogs, or dogs and people. I understand the frustration with this issue, as I see a minority of dog-walkers and soccer parents continue to walk their pets across the soccer pitches. I agree this has to stop. Will leashes stop dogs from going on the playing fields, or reduce confrontations? No! The solution has nothing to do with

gusting abuse of seniors already facing the daily pressure of a loved one with serious health problems and no end in sight and now facing the prospect of having their loved one in a facility some 40 or 50 kilometres away. To Health Minister Terry Lake and MLA Eric Foster, shame. M. Hesketh JUST SAY NO Lets just say no from the beginning to the few special interest groups wanting taxpayers to spend between $5.3 and $8.6 million to expand the Vernon Airport and increase flight traffic at the airport by more than 60 per cent. To rile up the environmentalist against the airport expansion, the expansion would have to divert Vernon Creek. An expansion would also cause a huge increase in noise. I have lived in Okanagan Landing and close to the airport for over 35 years and enjoy it here.

leashes. It has everything to do with where owners choose to take their dogs, and how they control them, whether they’re regular dog-walkers or soccer parents. The onus should be on owners to guide and control their pets responsibly, using a leash if needed. I have no problem with fines for owners with dogs on the playing fields. Councillor Cunningham was correct in pointing out there are other off-leash dog parks in the city, but Marshall Field is one of only two good ones with water access. The other is BX Ranch Park. The loss of one of Vernon’s best off-leash dog parks, without compelling reasons, or any effort to collaborate with users, is unacceptable. On the issue of dogs at Marshall Field, Vernon council has failed to clearly define the problem, and to find solutions that are effective, supported by users, enforceable, and without significant negative consequences. Where there are real problems with dogs, real solutions are available. Simply requiring all dogs to be on-leash is not a solution. It’s a call to arms. Colin Heggie

The air traffic can already get annoying on some days while outside in the garden, but not abusive. An increase of the number of flights and an increase in the noise level by the larger size of planes will truly harm the quality of our rural lifestyle and is unneeded. I think of our rural lifestyle in Okanagan Landing as similar to living in the BX or in the Coldstream valley, quiet but tolerant to appropriate development. Vernon also has an international airport just 30 minutes south of here at Kelowna. Isn't that good enough?

along the route. “If a commercial vehicle is making a delivery to Ponderosa Road, it has to be able to use Pelmewash Parkway.” Dickie also wants to see $35,000 budgeted for 2016 for speed tables at 500 metre intervals on Pelmewash Parkway. “It’s very easy to speed on the road. We need to do something to control the speed,” he said. Presently, the speed limit is 80 kilometres an hour under provincial government regulations, but once the road’s ownership is transferred to the municipality, it’s expected that it will drop to 50 kilometres an hour. Dickie suggests the speed tables could be temporary for a few

years until the road is redesigned to meet recreational objectives. Higher gravel fees sought There is a push for expanded revenue sources to pay for road infrastructure in Lake Country. Coun. Owen Dickie wants the district’s soil removal and deposit fees to possibly increase from the current 50 cents a cubic metre. “The number hasn’t changed since incorporation in 1995,” said Dickie. Dickie says gravel trucks cause damage to local roads and the industry could help provide much-needed money to ensure the integrity of the roads. “It’s time we brought the fee up to at least reflect inflation.”

connected to the sanitary sewer and multiple properties are served off of the same sewer line. “These matters are being rectified as discovered,” said Tate Bengtson, chief administrative officer.

“The water lines in this area are fragile and there have been two breaks during construction. A Fortis gas line was discovered at an unexpected depth that conflicted with one of the city’s new lines, which required an adjustment in its level in order to eliminate the conflict.” However, savings in other aspects of the Vernon Street project have allowed it to remain on budget.

Okanagan Regional Library’s 2016 financial process is wrapped up. Directors met Wednesday and agreed to a 1.98 per cent increase in the budget. “We are now including replacement of equipment and furniture in the capital budget,” said director Catherine Lord. “For operations, this will be a big improvement.” Individual communities will continue to be responsible for purchasing new furniture for their branches, but any existing items that need to be

replaced will be covered by ORL’s collective tax base. “It creates an easier process to get equipment and not keep bothering everybody,” said director Mike Macnabb. One of the challenges has been the inability of electoral areas to individually fund furniture through regional districts for ORL’s 29 individual branches. The 1.98 per cent budget increase is largely a result of inflationary pressures, including wages and higher rent for branch sites, utility costs and book purchases.

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

RCMP are investigating two separate thefts in the rural area of the North Okanagan. Sometime between Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, a 12-foot aluminium Crestliner boat with no motor was stolen from Kaiser Bill Lake, south of Lavington. Also taken was a 200-foot-long mesh net. The boat was owned by the University of Calgary. “They were using it for a research study,” said Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy, with the RCMP. Noseworthy “It was locked up at the lake. My understanding was it was in the water.” RCMP are also investigating a theft in rural Lumby. Sometime between Oct. 13 and 14, someone took cutting torches, saws and copper pipe from a scrap metal yard on Trinity Valley Road. The pipe was worth $6,000. Anyone with information on these crimes is asked to call the RCMP or Crime Stoppers.

Efforts to support local farmers are proving fruitful as growth has nearly doubled. The Buy Local! Buy Fresh! Okanagan map marked its third year in 2015, with 10,000 maps printed. “The maps continue to be well received,” said Shayne Wright, local project manager. “New outlets continue to ask

“New outlets continue to ask to stock copies of our brochure.” — Shayne Wright to stock copies of our brochure.” This year saw 44 farms listed, up from 27 in 2013. The goal is to attract 60 farms for the 2016 edition, which

makes its way to visitor centre shelves, markets and more. “Vernon and Coldstream farmers markets are both advertised in the map along

with a growing number of Coldstream producers,” said Wright. The District of Coldstream will once again sponsor the edition. Customers are pleased with the reach the map is having. “We were extremely happy and pleasantly surprised by the increased farm gate sales of our fruit and produce directly linked to our ad in Buy Local! Buy Fresh! Okanagan,” said Makepeace Organic Farms and Hugging Tree Winery in Cawston. “New cus-

tomers from the Lower Mainland also found their way to our farm.” True Grain Bread, of Summerland, is also enjoying the benefits of the map. “Our customers love the map, and they fly out of here.” The new 2016 edition again covers the entire Okanagan Valley, from Armstrong to Osoyoos, including the Similkameen Valley to Cawston and Keremeos.

Water meter updates on tap Morning Star Staff

Greater Vernon Water is beginning a multi-year water meter improvement program. The initiative includes updating the meter reading technology for all GVW customers and replacing old meters where required. “The program will improve meter reading accuracy, improve customer service, reduce operational costs, replace aging meters which are nearing the end of their serviceable life and reduce the need for staff to enter properties and businesses to obtain meter reads,” said Zee Marcolin, utility manager. Currently, water meters are read manually using touch pads located on the outside of buildings. This requires a meter reader to walk up to each touch pad to collect a reading. These touchpads will be replaced with an Encoder-ReceiverTransmitter (ERT). Using wireless radio frequency (RF) technology, the ERT will allow GVW to collect meter reading data remotely using low frequency radio waves.

“There is no cost to the property owner for replacing the existing touch pad with an ERT or to replace an existing water meter,” sad Marcolin. “In most cases, no appointment is necessary and there will be no interruption to the building’s water service, when the ERT is

installed.” The customer will receive a confirmation notice at the time of installation. However, if a customers’ meter is an older model, the meter may need to be replaced in order to install the ERT. In those limited cases where there are special requirements for ERT installation

or meter replacement, those customers will be contacted to arrange an appointment. “Customers can decline to have an ERT installed for reading their water meter. However, in the future, there will be a fee for the manual reading service for customers that opt out,” said Marcolin.

Stead goes low in nationals

Vipers battle injury

VSS grad sparks Camosun to gold medal in Chilliwack

Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Vipers go into a two-game home weekend not totally sure who will be in their lineup. “We won’t know,” answered Viper head coach/GM Mark Ferner, when asked about lineup changes. “We’ve got a bunch of guys with nagging injuries so we’re taking it day by day.” The Vipers may have to use one or two affiliates since Jagger Williamson, Riley Brandt and Colton McCarthy are likely probable starters at best. McCarthy took a hit in practice, while Brandt is nursing a back injury from last weekend’s action. Williamson’s hip is sore after he returned to action last weekend. Forward Christian Cakebread injured his knee in his Viper debut Friday night. He’s sidelined for at least another week. The Vipers (8-6-0-1) host the West Kelowna Warriors (7-5-0-2) tonight and entertain the Victoria Grizzlies (2-9) Saturday at 6 p.m. West Kelowna lost 4-2 to the firstplace Penticton Vees Wednesday night before 2,266 fans at the South Okanagan Events Centre. Tyson Jost supplied two goals for the Vees (13-1).

ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Named winner of the prestigious President’s Cup award for his outstanding achievements in academics and athletics a year ago, Brady Stead of the Camosun College Chargers trumped that honour last week in Chilliwack. Stead, 22, finished fourth overall in a field of 72 and led the Chargers to gold in the team portion of the Ping Canadian Colleges Athletic Association team golf championships at the Chilliwack Golf Club. Stead had claimed the PACWEST individual title to spark Camosun to the team title two weeks earlier at the same Chilliwack course. He was named Men’s Player of the Year and a PACWEST All-Star for his four-tournament total of 572. Camosun won the provincials by a whopping 54 strokes over the host Fraser Valley Cascades. The Chargers overhauled the Niagara Knights in the final round last Friday to win the national men’s title for the first time since 2000, when they claimed the inaugural CCAA tourney. “We finally did it; it’s been a long time coming,” said Stead. “Last year in Quebec City, we were tied for the lead after Day 1 and three strokes back going into the final round when they cancelled the tournament because the course was unplayable (after a storm) so we didn’t get a chance. That gave the veterans a little extra motivation this year.” Stead finished at 6-under 70-68-72-210 and said the Chargers had a good feel for the greens after competing in the provincials. “Everybody showed up on that final day and played to the best of their abilities considering the circumstance of feeling pressure,” said Stead, a VSS Panther grad who helped VSS make provincials for the first time since former Panther and PGA Tour golfer Chris Baryla did it 12 years prior. Earlier this season, junior Jeff Riches of Victoria made his Charger debut and took first place as Camosun clinched their third consecutive PACWEST tournament win at the Camosun Invitational at Bear Mountain in Victoria. Stead shot rounds of 67 and 70 to finish in second place, one stroke behind Riches. There were 14 men’s teams at nationals, includ-

DAN KINVIG, UFV ATHLETICS

Vernon’s Brady Stead, of Camosun College Chargers, surveys his shot in the national college men’s championships at the Chilliwack Golf Club. Stead finished 6-under for three rounds as the Chargers struck gold. ing defending champion Prince Edward Island (Charlottetown’s Holland College Hurricanes). Camosun was ranked No. 1. Joining the fifth-year Stead on the Chargers were Riches, senior Mac Keats of Cochrane, Alta., senior Grant Maskiewich of Smithers and junior Matt Matheson of West Vancouver. They totalled 860 strokes over three rounds, defeating Niagara by eight shots. Niagara led by three strokes on the final day, but Camosun made a charge on the back nine. Stead said the Chargers’ highest score on Day 3 was a 73 by Riches, showing just how deep the Camosun lineup goes. Being the top Charger in his last year was very rewarding for Stead. “As an individual, there’s no better feeling than knowing the work you put in as a junior growing up and even the first few years on the Camosun team when I struggled and didn’t give up; kept working on things and hoping it would eventually work out, there’s no better feeling for an athlete.” Stead gives major props to head coach John Randle. “Almost everything that I know about the golf swing I have learned from my coach – John Randle. We worked very hard on my first few years on

improving my golf swing and although I struggled a little in the past, John did not stop believing in me and I cannot thank him enough for that.” Camosun took silver last year in Quebec City and bronze two years ago in Boischatel, Que. The 2016 nationals are in Charlottetown. “It’s still kind of a surreal feeling, even just walking to my truck to go running around, knowing that I’m a national champion, is definitely a different feeling, but it’s a good one. I don’t think it’s sunk in yet.” Team Canada Development Squad player Etienne Papineau of Cegep Champlain St. Lawrence Lions was the CCAA individual winner at 10-under 73-65-68-206, two shots better than Stephen Brown of Lambton College Lions in Sarnia, Ont. Stead, who used to work at The Rise Golf Course in Vernon, will focus on studies with hopes of more golf in the future. “I’m going to finish my business degree and keep working on my game in the spring and hopefully play in the RPGA Nationals in Parksville, which is open to all universities and colleges.” He wants to keep playing, but isn’t sure what his schedule will look like: possibly Europe.

Vernon Nedco Kings crowned Salmon Arm Blackburn Excavating 5-2 in North Okanagan Midget House Super League hockey action. Brett Lambert had a hat trick for the Kings, scoring twice in the third period, once on a breakaway, the other on assists from the un-retired Cole Benjaminsen and Mac Gilchrist. Alyssa Racine set Lambert up for his first of the night. Jim Brodoway, from Seb Wenger and Reid Lawrence – playing hurt – on an assist from Ryley Johnson had the other goals for Nedco, who received strong play from goalie Noah Foufoulas and excellent hustle from Leland Riguedel, Liam Hennig and Noah de Balinhard on defence. Jaden Steinke and Rowan Wood each scored three times as Vernon Talon Benefits blasted the North Okanagan Knights 12-2. Adam Roemer had 2+2 for the Talon crew, while singles went to Alex Laurila, Layk Petersen, Nick Demetrick and Brendan Horsfield. Jake Crandlemire and Liam Sutherland replied for the Knights. The shortstaffed Vernon Authentic Plaque & Trophy Snakes held off Nedco 4-2 at Civic Arena behind three goals from Branden Lehoux. Darnell Hauca also scored for the Snakes, who had six skaters and got great goaltending from Jake Holland and Rhys Larsen. Aaron Botterill and Braydie Allen replied for Nedco. In Pee Wee Super League play, the Lumby Stars, sponsored by Bannister GM and Great West Equipment, won their home opener, 17-2, over Chase. Tye Krause led the Stars with eight goals. Ryder Quibell, Mia Maltman and Peter Romailler each added deuces, while Zachary Young, Linden Catt and Kaleb Pachel added singles in support of Parker Stadnyk. Lumby lost 7-5 Sunday to Vernon Butcher Boys Rebels Sunday at Priest Valley Arena. Krause pulled the hat trick while Catt added a pair. Romailler turned in another strong defensive showing.

Rebel goaltender Jakob Aeichele unflinchingly repelled all 15 Lumby shots in the first period. The Rebels made their lone shot count, as Dawson Twamley broke in alone and buried a backhand. The Rebels found their stride in the second, building a 3-0 lead. First, Connor Cecchini chipped the puck to Reilly Teager, who split the Lumby defence and rifled one to the roof. Next, Ronan Bedard beetled down the right side and located Cole Grevatt, whose one-timer found the mark. Krause popped a pair, and then Teager wheeled into the clear and rippled mesh again. In the final frame, Teager blocked a Lumby point shot, broke away and notched his third with a cross-crease move to the forehand. Krause followed with his third 23 seconds later, closing the gap to 5-3. Teager then trailed Quinn Soon into the Lumby zone, took the drop pass and wired his fourth from the ringette line. Down by three, Lumby poured on the pressure. In the Rebel net, it was Kassidy Schaper-Kotter’s turn to stand on her head. Seven minutes into the third, she preserved the lead with a stunning right pad stop — one of her 20 saves in the final 20. Rebel winger Morgan Martens put the game away, banging in a centering feed from Twamley. In Saturday’s opener at Kal Tire Place, the Rebels seesawed to a 6-6 draw with the Bannister GM Blazers. Bradley Halvorson put the Blazers on the board first, a mere 26 seconds after puck drop. The Rebels battled back with three straight, two from Bedard, followed by a Teager snipe. Bryce Lauer, Twamley, and Connor Cecchini drew the assists. Blazer Seth Maglio then bagged a late first period goal. Early in the second, Kayden Bowering set up Bedard for his hat trick. Shortly after Emma Raine tallied for Bannister, Bowering fed Cole Grevatt, who put the Rebels up 5-3. Tyler Kruysifix cut the margin in half just before the break. The Blazers carried the momentum into the third, grabbing the lead on goals by Max Stewart and Carter Rachwalski. Twamley fired the equalizer with three minutes remaining.

News

Premier pleased with new prime minister TOM FLETCHER Black Press

Premier Christy Clark is emphasizing cooperation with the new Liberal government in Ottawa on climate change and infrastructure spending, while avoiding comment on plans to run deficits and legalize marijuana. Clark said she is looking forward to having Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accompany premiers to Paris at the end of November for the next United Nations climate conference. Trudeau said Tuesday he is looking forward to changing Canada’s reputation as a “less than enthusiastic actor” on climate policy, but he wants provinces to take the lead. Clark said B.C. will outline its “Climate 2.0” plan before leaving, and it will add to the carbon tax on fossil fuels with measures aimed at the “built environment” and other ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Trudeau’s infrastructure plan is in “complete alignment” with B.C.’s efforts to grow the economy, with BC Hydro alone spending $2.5 billion a year over the next decade, Clark said. She sidestepped a question on Trudeau’s deficit plans, noting that a prime minister has to govern for all provinces and B.C. is “an outlier” with operating budget surpluses and projected growth. Clark was even more cautious with Trudeau’s plans to legalize and regulate marijuana, as Vancouver and other cities grapple with unregulated medical pot dispensaries. “If and when they make changes, we’ll work with them to make sure that the changes can be effective in B.C.,” she said. B.C. NDP leader John Horgan shrugged off his federal party’s big setback in the federal election, consoling himself with an increase of two NDP MPs in B.C. The NDP’s Gord Johns won the new riding of Courtney-Alberni, defeating long-time

Conservative MP John Duncan for an NDP sweep of Vancouver

Island, except for Green Party leader Elizabeth May in Saanich-Gulf

Islands. “I’m also delighted that the country voted

for change in massive numbers,” Horgan said. “And that’s good news

for me as well, because in 2017 there’s going to be a desire for change.”

Horoscope BY EUGENIA LAST

YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY Be a leader, not a follower. A charitable cause or organization will help you raise awareness about something that concerns you and will give you the platform to present what you have to offer. Patience and grace under pressure will be great assets.

Crossword Puzzle

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Don’t join the fight when you can become the mediator. You have the ability to say the right thing in order to defuse a volatile situation and resolve sensitive issues with compassion. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Overspending will put your budget in jeopardy. Don’t try to buy your way into someone’s heart. Your time and attention are what will bring the best rewards. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You will be tense and stressed out. A physical activity will help you burn off steam. Go to the gym or pool and put your excess energy to good use. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Others will consider your help meddling by another name. Keep your opinions to yourself in order to avoid a rift. Romance will improve your personal life. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Change is in the air. You have fabulous ideas that will help streamline or modernize your job. Convince colleagues to join you, and present your concepts to those in charge. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) A relationship will turn turbulent. Remember that it takes two to argue. Make amends if you have been too demanding or stubborn. Don’t say something you’ll regret.

Previous Solution

ARIES (March 21-April 19) If you have been spending too much time on your career lately, getting together with friends will remind you how to have fun. Make time for the people who mean the most to you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Financial security and risk-taking will not be compatible. Do your research carefully before you spend your hard-

earned cash. Opt for a conservative investment you can count on. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Listen to what others have to say. Don’t judge someone based on hearsay or rumours. Your assumptions will not be valid. The information you receive will be incomplete or false.

Dana

… has joined Memphis Hair Group

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Refer to those with experience in order to find solutions. Whether you have professional or personal issues, someone you know will give you sound advice. Don’t be afraid to ask. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Get out and socialize if you crave excitement. Take part in community events in order to meet a wide assortment of people you will enjoy spending time with. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) It’s OK to think big, but keep matters in perspective. Take small steps if you want to reach your destination. Frustration will develop if you try to do too much at once.

Testimonials

“Exactly what we wanted” Three years ago, my wife and I bought our first home. At that time we did not feel we were in any position to get lending. One visit with Deb and our outlook on things changed. She secured us a great mortgage and we were able to buy the house we so desperately wanted. Recently we decided to refinance. Deb and her team made this process as pleasant as when we first purchased our house. She knew exactly what we wanted, even if we didn’t. She always exceeds our expectations. They are always available to answer any question and truly look out for your best intentions. - B

Campaign managers weigh in on race ALISTAIR WATERS Black Press

Conservative Ron Cannan. A little over three months later, on Monday night with Pierce by his side, Fuhr made that climb — figuratively — by beating Cannan to become the first Liberal elected here since 1969. And the first person Fuhr publicly thanked was Pierce. In this election, Pierce, and his counterparts with the Conservative campaign, Ken Lang, and with the NDP, Maria Tokarchuk, played pivotal roles as not only the behindthe-scenes leaders but also as the chief strategists. While the candidates were Stephen Fuhr out front, it was the campaign managers who organized the Herculean efforts to try to get them elected, keep the campaigns on course, prepare their candidates and get them to the finish line. This was no small feat in the longest federal election campaign this country has ever seen at 11 weeks. “There’s really no secret to it,” said Pierce, a

69-year-old former banker and businessman who managed Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran’s successful civic election campaign last year. “You need great volunteers, key people to lead (different aspects of the campaign) and rely on them to do their jobs.” For Lang, who has managed three other federal election campaigns in the past, all in the Lower Mainland, the involvement of young people was also a highlight in this campaign. Lang said all the talk of change likely resonated with young voters this time around and that seemed to account for much of their interest. But he said the biggest factor in Cannan failing to hold on the seat that he first won in 2006 was likely the redrawing of the riding’s boundary that took an estimated 22,000 people out in Kelowna and placed them in the new Central Okanagan-SimilkameenNicola riding. While Tokarchuk could not be reached for this article, in this election the local NDP tripled its volunteer base and donations during the campaign, according to candidate Norah Bowman. But it was not enough as Bowman came a distant third to Fuhr and Cannan.

Pedestrians and drivers are urged to do their part to stay safe. ICBC has launched its annual pedestrian

safety campaign with the B.C. Coroners Service, B.C. government and police. “For pedestrians at intersections, making

eye contact with drivers is key to reducing their risk, as 75 per cent of crashes involving pedestrians occur at intersections,” said

Lindsay Matthews, ICBC’s director responsible for road safety. “Drivers must be extremely cautious at intersections – take the extra time to look for pedestrians before turning, avoid all forms of distraction and be ready to yield. “So whether driving or walking, everyone has a role to play to keep pedestrians from getting injured.” Almost two times more pedestrians are injured in crashes from November to January compared to June to August as the weather changes and daylight hours decrease. The top contributing factors attributed to drivers in crashes with pedestrians are: distraction, failure to yield the right of way and weather. Drivers should take extra time to look for pedestrians before turning, avoid distractions and be ready to yield. Pedestrians can help stay safe by making eye contact, wearing bright and reflective clothing, and staying focused on the road. ICBC is distributing free safety reflectors and tips to pedestrians with the help of community policing volunteers and other local partners throughout B.C.

Election voting strategy questioned TOM FLETCHER Black Press

For months, anti-Conservative campaigners from environmentalists to veterans tried to persuade likeminded voters to coalesce behind the strongest opponent in each riding. But as the dust settles on the Liberals’ powerful majority victory, it’s unclear if those strategic voting attempts had great effect, other than to demolish Green Party hopes to add seats. Organizations like LeadNow and the Dogwood Initiative funded riding-level polls to try to help guide progressive voters. — Mario LeadNow recommended NDP candidates in 11 B.C. ridings, and the Liberals for two seats on the North Shore. All but three of those chosen candidates won their races. One notable exception was the choice of the NDP candidate in Vancouver-Granville who ended up third behind the Liberal victor and the Conservative runner-up as voters apparently disregarded the advice. Mario Canseco, vice-president of Insights West, which did polling for Dogwood, said strategic voting attempts appear to have had more effect on Vancouver Island than in the Lower Mainland, where those efforts were swamped by the strength of the Liberal wave. “There are certain pockets where strategic voting worked very well and probably enabled some NDP vic-

tories,” he said, adding a few New Democrats were elected on the Island who otherwise would not likely have prevailed over Conservatives. LeadNow made no recommendations in some ridings presumed to be safe Conservative seats that ended up hotly contested. It’s difficult, Canseco said, for progressive strategists to get enough granular riding-level data on individual races to gauge how they are evolving in time to be useful to voters. Strategic voting was based on the premise that Liberals, NDP and Green supporters would risk leaving room for Conservatives Canseco to win many races unless they first settled on a single consensus candidate. A shorter campaign might have resulted in a Conservative victory, he said. Instead, the Liberals had more time to build momentum and present leader Justin Trudeau as a viable prime minister. Canseco doesn’t accept one theory that the red wave resulted mainly from the Conservatives’ choice to emphasize the niqab issue in Quebec, harming NDP chances there and making the Liberals seem the more obvious alternative for the anyonebut-Harper movement. He said NDP leader Tom Mulcair simply did not perform as well in debates or on the campaign trail as he did before in the House of Commons, and the choice to balance the bud-

get made him seem like “a small ‘C’ Conservative” compared to the bolder Liberals.

“They weren’t able to solidify this idea that they were the vehicle for change,” Canseco said.

Rocky Horror makes its double feature Local production welcomes you to the lab to see what’s on the slab once again Morning Star Staff

That sweet transvestite from transsexual Transylvania and his alien servants are at it again. Audiences will once again be lured, just like gullible Brad Majors and his fiance, Janet Weiss, in from the rain when Big Apple Productions presents The Rocky Horror Show for a second year. The production is back at the Interior Provincial Exhibition’s Horticulture Building in Armstrong just in time for Halloween. “It was a major risk bringing this show to our community last year,” said Big Apple founder and artistic director Melina Moore. “I had nightmares that no one would come and we’d be performing to empty houses. Lo and behold, we had a fully soldout run with people coming from as far as Revelstoke and Penticton. We were turning people away at the door.” With music, lyrics and book by Richard O’Brien, the original theatrical Rocky Horror Show (the cult classic film Rocky Horror Picture Show came later, and is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year) is a humorous tribute to the science fiction and horror B movies of the late 1940s through to the early 1970s. It tells the story of a newly engaged couple getting caught in a storm and

Big Apple Productions’ Rocky Horror Show cast are stripped down and ready to do the time warp again at the Armstrong Interior Provincial Exhibition Horticulture Building Oct. 28 to 31. coming to the home of a mad transvestite scientist unveiling his new creation, a sort of Frankenstein-style monster in the form of an artificially made, fully grown, physically perfect muscle man named Rocky, complete “with blond hair and a tan.” “Seeing the show live is an unforgettable experience. At its core, our show tells a tale of braving a wilderness, of surviving lost innocence, of sexual awakening, about acceptance of difference, about birth and death, forgiveness and redemption, and the

fall from grace of a transgressive god,” said Moore. “Perhaps it’s Rocky’s underlying condemnation of our society’s sexual puritanicalism and hypocrisy that makes the show still relevant. But Rocky Horror is not just about sex, rock ‘n’ roll and mindless entertainment, this is smart, insightful satire that asks us to think about our culture, our appetites, our relationships, and the way we live our lives.” The Horticulture Building on the IPE fairgrounds will once again be

turned into an avant-garde, underground, chic Manhattan-style cabaret, with world-renowned muralist Michelle Loughery as set designer, lighting designer Beverley Peacock, and costumer Sue Gairns. “This year’s crew is possibly one of the most extraordinary and talented I’ve ever worked with on any show,” said Moore. “The stars aligned to bring me Michelle. Her set mastery includes a fully working lab with every bell and whistle for Frank-n-Furter, severed heads in jars

and a few items I can’t mention here.” Steering the ship once again are stage director Neal Facey of Kelowna, and choreographer Lisa Schofield of Diversity Dance and Fitness. “Working beside Neal and Lisa is sheer joy. Their energy, creativity and vision for this show are simply unsurpassed,” said Moore. “Of course, it helps to be directing a dream cast, which we have this year once again. Almost all of our former cast is returning, with a few wonderful new faces, bolstered by the extraordinary talents of the show’s key player, Sun FM’s own Brian Martin as Dr. Frankn-Furter. His transformation is astounding.” The Rocky Horror Show will be accompanied by a live band, including local musicians Steve Todd, Peter Padden, Jordan Dick and Doug Sonju, and the number of shows has been upped from three to five this year to account for the local enthusiasm and demand, said Moore. “It is looking like this will become a yearly tradition. People are clamoring for it. And I want to give the public what they want,” she said. The Rocky Horror Show opens Wednesday and runs to Friday, Oct. 30 with shows at 8 p.m. and a special Halloween performance Oct. 31 at 2 and 10 p.m. General admission and VIP front-row seating tickets are available at the Ticket Seller, 250549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca. Seating is limited. Audiences are encouraged to get their tickets early. Costumes are also highly encouraged. The show contains mature content, and audience discretion is advised.

Cineplex hosts fifth annual Community Day with free movies \Morning Star Staff

Families and movie lovers can catch a free flick Saturday morning when Cineplex Entertainment holds its fifth annual Community Day at its theatres across B.C., including Vernon’s Galaxy Cinemas. A selection of great family-friendly movies will be screened, with all proceeds from donations and concession sales going to support Free The Children, Cineplex’s national charity partner. “Last year the 125,000 Canadians that

came to our theatres on Community Day helped us to raise over $530,000 in one morning and I hope that this year we’ll raise even more,” said Ellis Jacob, president and chief executive officer of Cineplex Entertainment. “We know that great movies can inspire change so we invite Canadians to join us in supporting Free The Children to empower youth across our country and around the globe.” Patrons in Vernon will have a choice to see any of these films Saturday: Fast &

Arts Childhood evoked with Dollhouses Armstrong Spallumcheen Art Gallery has opened its doors to some tiny houses Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

A group of Armstrong area artists have taken the tiny house craze to a whole new level. The Armstrong Spallumcheen Museum and Art Gallery has just opened an exhibition where all the pieces fit inside a dollhouse. The brainchild of Armstrong artists Jamie Frazer and Cat Majors, the exhibition features 25 furnished dollhouses, which are accompanied by miniature paintings, and have been contributed by area residents. “You have to know when Jamie Frazer and Cat Majors come at you after having a dream scheming session that you might be in for a bit of a roller coaster ride,” said gallery administrator Sherry MacFarlane. “To be fair some of the responsibility should be put at the feet of our local gal, Wendy Armstrong–Taylor.

The Armstrong Spallumcheen Art Gallery brings some childhood whimsy into its exhibition space with its current show, Dollhouses. When she told Jamie her dollhouse story about a very special dollhouse her mother had made for her, well, anyone who knows Jamie knows that was like waving a red flag in front of a bull and she was off like the energizer bunny.” Frazer’s intent with the show is to allow people to reminisce over the fond memories of their child-

hood and revisit those times. “My intent is to provide a venue to be able to go back and spend time remembering and reflecting on those happy memories, and if visitors are able to do that with their children and grandchildren it becomes even more poignant,” she said. “What better way to escape for a little while and be able to say, ‘I had one of those,’ or ‘I remember playing with that over at my best friend’s.’ It is part of what has shaped us into the person we are today.” Those who enter the gallery will see dollhouses ranging from large to small. Some are vintage, some are homemade, others are store bought or rescued from garage sales and Tour the Haunted Schubert second hand stores. and School House They also come from all different eras. “Each dollhouse DATE: Oct. 10th, 11th, 17th, 18th, 24th & 25th, 2015 has a story like Kelly’s, LOCATION: O’Keefe Ranch - Ranch grounds (outdoors) whose house was built Don’t forget to dress warm! by her grandmother, or TIME: 11:00am to 4:00PM Laura’s, whose house was built by her grandPRICE: Family Rate: (max 5 per family) $30.00 + gst Single Rate: $10.00 + gst per person father, and Cat’s and Bev’s houses, made by their fathers.

Bridge of Spies sets the bar high Bridge of Spies

merican lawyer James Donovan (Tom Hanks) enters a world of shadowy men in trench coats when he is chosen to defend alleged Russian spy Rudolf Abel (Mark Rylance). The justice system wants Abel put away, but when Francis Gary Powers’ spy plane goes down and he is captured, Abel becomes a valuable commodity. Donovan, as a private citizen, is asked by his government to facilitate a trade. We say, “Spielberg delivers Bridge of Spies with a noir nod.” TAYLOR: I loved nearly everything about Bridge of Spies. From its Hollywood rain-soaked, high contrast look, to its lighter moments, which are properly spaced, the film doesn’t waste any time in setting up the characters and plot. The players are perfect. The rare moments where boundaries of believability become stretched are forgivable, due to that Spielberg earnestness. It looks and feels like 1957 and the Cold War is at its chilliest, but this is not like Schindler’s List. Although both are beautiful and perfectly shot films, I think above everything else Bridge of Spies is Spielberg having fun. Yes the Berlin Wall is bleak, but magnificent. This film is a painting in light and shadow of men in fedoras, smoking. HOWE: One word sums up Bridge of Spies, fantastic. The actors all give outstanding performances. The storyline is captivating and the de-saturated look used throughout the movie to show we are in the 1950s is subdued. Every now and then the scene is dotted with a tiny amount of colour to show there is a sign of hope, that all this will end peacefully. Bridge of Spies ticks every box: interesting, gripping, humor-

Reel ReviewS

Taylor and Howe

ous and occasionally, almost emotional. TAYLOR: That’s the thing: “almost emotional.” The two main characters in the movie are both taciturn fellows. “You don’t seem worried,” says Donovan. “Would it help?” asks Abel. Cover that in a grey wool blanket and a bit of dirty snow and you start to get the feeling. Spielberg turns up the music and tries pretty obviously to pull at our heartstrings, but I still fell for the clichés at the Berlin Wall and the JFK B-story treatment of his lonely family. Clichés are clichés because they’re true. Still, I’m docking half a point for going sen-

timental rather than frosty. This could have been a straight-up spy thriller, much cooler, all hard stares and ticking clocks. This would have been better for Bridge of Spies, but it’s still an excellent movie. HOWE: In Bridge of Spies, Hanks does what he does best. I think he must be one of the

finest actors of his generation. I cannot recall being disappointed by him in a film, well maybe Cloud Atlas. I would definitely recommend Bridge of Spies – just remember your warm coat, it gets a little chilly. – Howe gives Bridge of Spies 4.5 paint sets out of 5.

Kootenay Concert Connections presents

Vernon Performing Arts Centre Oct. 30. “Similar to many of the great opera houses, the evening will include musical favourites, dance and special video effects,” said Moore, who will be joined on stage by guest soloists, accompanist Graham Vink, as well as his choir, the Kokanee Singers. Together, they will perform arias and ensembles from opera’s greatest hits such as La Traviata, Tosca, Carmen, Rigoletto, The Magic Flute, The Merry Widow and others. “The Nuit Musicale concert will be a feast for the eyes as well as the ears,” said Moore.

Vernon tenor Paul Moore works with local artist Molly March on the stage sets and effects for the Nuit Musicale night of opera and dance at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Friday, Oct. 30. To help set the scenes, local artist Molly March is incorporating visual effects and image projections for the set design. Moore has also invited local dancers to join the singers, as they do in most opera productions. “The dancers and singers (are) sharing

centre stage to create a breathtaking array of creativity,” said Moore, adding, “Arias from operas The Marriage of Figaro and Carmen will be interspersed with Spanish dance – flamenco and fandango – performed by the very talented Tanya Bakala with her Mission Dance

Company.” Mission Dance Company will also perform scenes from Tchaikovsky’s ballet Giselle, inspired by the National Ballet of Canada’s version. Vernon’s own Heather Stranks and Jens Goerner, from City Dance studio, will also showcase a waltz in scenes from The Merry Widow and La Traviata. Audiences are welcome to make it a true night at the opera and dress up to have their picture taken on the red carpet photo booth. “The photos will be a nice keepsake of your magical night out,” said Moore. Tickets for Nuit Musicale, Oct. 30 at 8 p.m., are $37/adult, $34/senior, available at the Ticket Seller box office, 250-549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca

he prolific singer/songwriter/keyboardist Harry Connick Jr. relinquishes production control on his 20-something album, That Would Be Me, and gets some good offbeat results. The album was recorded in London and Nashville with Eg White (Florence + The Machine, Adele) and Butch Walker (Taylor Swift, Katy Perry), respectively. Connick Jr.’s New Orleans roots trump the other locales Dean Gordon-Smith and his jazz/R&B leanings are enhanced by the input. Ideas get in the way of songs early on, but the album connects on the third track, Tryin to Matter. This song is typical for Connick Jr. and he

Street SoundS

reaches out to the gumbo R&B balladry that New Orleans is famous for. The album stays close to that sound, slightly amped up, but the curveball is showbiz material like the tolerably schmaltzy Songwriter (Barry Manilow on steroids). It has energy and Connick Jr. conjures up mojo from his Nola roots and testifies in performances that are gritty and colourful. You Don’t Need a Man and Do You Really Need Her are confessional songs that don’t worry about being vulnerable. The producers and Connick Jr. stay righteously close to the regional sound that informs the best of his material. Where Prisoners Drown moves up the Mississippi a ways to get some of Bobbi Gentry’s southern gothic vibe before drifting back down. Songs like that and Tryin’ to Matter reveal a deeper, darker character in Connick Jr.’s sound that makes his sunnier Stevie Wonder type songs like Every Time I Fall in Love more interesting than they actually are. Overall, That Would Be Me is an extra vivid snapshot of Connick Jr.’s Louisiana jazz-pop, R&B sound.

Square dancing can be fun for all ages Morning Star Staff

Dancers of all ages have started to do-sido as the Vernon square dance club starts its fall season. The club is accepting new dancers of all ages for its beginner dance classes. “Everyone moves around the square so each person gets to dance with many different people during each dance,” said Darlene Poetker, with the club. “There is no dress code, just come as you are. We welcome all of you.” Nick Neufeld is in his 20s, and he’s enjoying the chance to get out on the dance floor. “I remember taking square dance classes in high school, and really enjoyed it, so I wanted to check it out,” he said. Dancers from throughout the Okanagan attended the club’s recent kick-off dance, with guest caller Dustin McGifford of Kelowna, round dance cuer Wendy Winterhalder of Enderby and round dance facilitator Regine

Dancers from all over the Okanagan attend the Vernon square dance club’s kick-off dance recently. Anderson of Penticton. “What a great dance to start the year, shaking off the rust and meeting friends old and new,” said Poetker. She said anyone who hasn’t attended a lesson yet this year is welcome to check out the classes — first class is free. “If you wish you knew how to dance, want to meet new friends, get some exercise and challenge your brain, then this just might be the answer for you. Classes run Thursdays from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Halina

Centre, located at the back of the Vernon Recreation Centre. “There is no partner required, and you still have time to join in on the fun,” said Poetker. “Widows and widowers, please join us. Young adults — bring your friends and enjoy some good, clean fun. “Are you ready to reinvent yourselves? New to the area? Then please join us and have fun getting involved in your amazing community.” If you’re an experienced dancer, the club meets Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. at Knox

It’s a night of music, poetry and sweet smiles JOAN MCINTYRE

Special to The Morning Star

A night of music and sweet smiles, a night of poetry: you are invited to attend The Music and Poetry of Ecstasy, Saturday at the Essentialist Church of Christ in Vernon. You’ll be lifted and inspired, you’ll be entertained and tamed. Your spirits will soar higher. And all of us will gain. It will open up your heart. This presentation brings together a troubadour, poets and poetry as well as classical and jazz groupings of musicians. Moreover, you will hear original and traditional songs and poems from the Middle East, Asia, Europe and the West. These offerings inspire humour, creativity and a profound open-heartedness. Listen to our guest troubadour, Erse

(Oz) Yagan, as he recites ancient plus modern poetry and plays the Nay, a traditional Turkish flute. Yagan was born into a Muslim family and was immediately immersed in the Circassian tradition. Both his father and mother’s people had come to Turkey from the Caucasus, a fertile land existing in the Caucasus Mountains east of the Black Sea. He subsequently became Christian at age 14, mostly, he says, because his father had also converted. Yagan immigrated to Canada from Turkey with his family when he was 14 1/2. At 16, he became convinced that there was no God “out there.” He subsequently became an atheist until in his early 20s when through the study of yoga, he realized that God was within. Later he found that same message in the old Sufi poets

who had attained oneness with their higher selves. Yagan said he didn’t have a picture of himself to contribute to this story, but he added, “It doesn’t matter who I am. The important thing is the poetry and the poets behind the poetry. These are what I would like to share.” Others participating in the program are flutist April Sheehan, pianists Hannah Jukes and Lucy Feldman, and Miriam Palfy, Mary Anne Kingsmill, Sharron Allen and James Paul. Music and Poetry of Ecstasy takes place Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Essentialist Church of Christ, 2001-45th Ave., Vernon. Entrance is by donation, and your donation benefits us all. Doors open at 6:45 p.m. — plan to arrive early, as the church is small. Refreshments will be available.

It’s time for the spooky season at Lumby thrift store Morning Star Staff

It’s time to start bringing in the Halloween costumes you’ll never wear again as one person’s castaway becomes a treasure to someone else. “We are a one-stop shop and have some-

thing for everyone, said Georgie Hay, with the Lumby Community Thrift Store. “Santa makes his appearance shortly after Halloween. I know some folks are already purchasing Christmas gifts and know someone

who’s already finished, wrapped and all. “I am a believer in local purchasing. Stop in and inquire how we contribute to our unique community. We always have tea on and usually a goodie to go with it. We have some

amazing volunteers who bake and bring it in for the other volunteers — special thanks to Margaret Massey, Leona Carr, Debbie Madden and many others.” The store is open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and locat-

The Clubman shares engine choices withh the rest of the Mini clan; a base three-cylinder with 102 horsepower, the Cooper’s three-cylinder at 136 horsepower, or the Cooper S’s four-cylinder with 192. Transmission choices are the six-speed manual, or a new eight-speed automatic. BMW’s usual arsenal of road-conquering technologies are either built in or are available. The Stockholm area presented a few challenges. Firstly, it is city of 14 islands, with hundreds more nearby. This means a lot of water, which means a lot of bridges - and a good number of ferries. The rolling, lake-studded Canadian Shield-like landscape northeast of Stockholm does present inviting stretches - but the tempting country roads are home to the very vigilant police force, and dreaded Blue Meanies. Once the Clubman broke free from these constraints, its inner go-kart was revealed. There was never any doubt that there was more Mini than usual to throw around, but fun could be summoned - especially with Sport mode selected. The manual certainly kept it real, but the automatic really needed to be in its own Sport mode to simulate the experience. This new six-door strikes a nice compromise between Mini mania and multitasking. Like the car, the families who take delivery after the Clubman shows up in showrooms early next year are growing out, not up. The Mini Cooper Clubman starts at $24,990, the Mini Cooper S Clubman at $28,990. Of course, these being Minis means infinite (almost) options and individualization, which would take you north of that pretty quickly.

Toyota reveals a sleeker, sportier Prius By Keith Morgan

Toyota believes the fourth generation Prius is destined to break into new markets with what it describes as ground breaking environmental performance, technological advances and a new design. More than nine million gas-electric hybrid cars are now in service globally – Toyota-made vehicles account for eight million of them and the Prius makes up half of Toyota’s total. Environmental performance alone is no longer enough to make a car stand out in a now-crowded segment, so Toyota rebuilt the Prius from the ground up. The result is a sleeker, sportier form, refined interior, advanced safety functions and promised sportier drive. Some noteworthy improvements can be found in the seating. In order to minimize discomfort during long drives, front seats feature improved frames and cushion bolstering which provides a ‘snug’ fit and chiropractic control. The seatback springs have been moved rearward for optimal occupant posture and, as a result, pressure on the lower part of the pelvis is reduced and dissipated broadly, thereby alleviating stress on the lower back and muscles. The cushioning in the rear seats has also been optimized, with the seating area widened to mirror the improved comfort of the front seats. The Prius retains its 1.8-litre VVT-i equipped Atkinson cycle gas engine but it has been completely re-engineered. More details will be released soon.

The War Amps Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder THERE WERE THREE; BUT WHERE WAS FOUR? Chris Abani, a NigerianAmerican author, said, “I have to have three or four books going simultaneously. If I’m not impressed in the first 20 pages, I don’t bother reading the rest, especially with novels.” When you are defending against four of a major, you need four tricks to defeat the contract. As soon as you can see three winners, however unimpressed you are with your chances of a fourth trick, do not stop hunting for that vital extra winner. In today’s deal, look first at the West hand. He is defending against four spades. Guided by his partner’s response, West

leads his singleton heart. East wins with the jack and cashes the heart ace. What should West do now? West had a normal threediamond opening bid. North had a textbook takeout double. Then East had an interesting problem. He had a fit for partner and a side-suit singleton, which suggested that a sacrifice might be profitable. But, by responding three hearts, he decided to indicate what rated to be the best lead for his partner. Then, he judged well not to sacrifice in five diamonds, which would have been doubled and set two, minus 500. Also, South correctly jumped to four spades with a hand worth an opening bid. At trick two, West should hope that he has two

discards to make; and if so, he should see how to defeat the contract. He pitches first the club nine, then the club two - high-low with a doubleton and asking partner to shift to that suit. Then, as long as East is watching, he will lead a club at trick four, which West will ruff to defeat the contract.

1931 - 2015 It is with heavy hearts the family of Victoria McGregor (nee Terlesky) announce the passing of their mother, grandmother, great grandmother & aunt on Saturday, October 17, 2015. Vickie was born on the family farm in Buchanan, Saskatchewan on May 12, 1931. She remained in Sask and moved to Kamloops with her sister where she worked and met her husband Jack McGregor. In the years to follow they lived in several communities throughout BC before settling in Armstrong with their 4 children in 1974. After moving to Prince George for several years, Vickie (also known as Gramma Perogy) returned to Armstrong in 2006 to be closer to her children & grandchildren. During the last 7 years Vickie’s home was at Abbeyfield in Armstrong with her friends. She was well known for her baking including cookies, cabbage rolls, beatniks, croutons and of course perogies. She enjoyed gardening, bowling, bingo, crocheting and playing cards. She also enjoyed her job at Rosedale Grocery and becoming involved with her sons’ baseball leagues. Mom loved watching the Blue Jays and cheered them on right up to the end. She loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. Vickie is lovingly remembered by Jack, her four children: Sheila Nystoruk (Brian), Pat McGregor (Nancy), Brenda Fowler (Gene), Gary McGregor (Heather); 11 grandchildren: Tyler, Ryan, Travis, Megan, Michael, Kerriann, Darren, Jenna, Kerry, Kristin and Shannon; and two great-grandchildren: Lilliah and Jace; as well as many nieces and nephews. She now joins her parents, brothers, sisters and an infant daughter, Patricia and can rest in peace. At mom’s request there will be no service but the family will be holding an informal celebration of life in her honour. Her children would like to extend sincere thanks to her Abbeyfield family for the caring and loving home she enjoyed so much and the beautiful friends she cherished there. Also a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Aucamp and the doctors and nurses of 2 East in the Vernon Jubilee Hospital who not only cared for our mom but showed such compassion and kindness, becoming a part of our family. Our angel now has her wings.
