Garlick acclaimed mayor JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Coldstream’s mayor will be getting right down to business preparing for a new council in November. Mayor Jim Garlick is acclaimed as no one has stepped forward to challenge him for the position, which he has held for six years now. Although he would have expected someone to run against him for mayor so that the constituents could have a choice, Garlick is pleased he doesn’t have to put any signs up this election. “I can put more time into actually preparing for the new council,” said Garlick. There are seven candidates vying for the six seats on council: Shane Hillman and Glen Taylor as well as incumbents Peter McClean,
Gyula Kiss, Richard Enns, Doug Dirk and Pat Cochrane. Maria Besso will not be running in the Nov. 15 election and Garlick admits it would have been good to have a woman on council. “I’m kind of disappointed. It’s always good, it grounds us.” Even though Garlick doesn’t have to take part in any forums, such as the Oct. 30 one at the Performing Arts Centre, he still plans on it. “I think it’s important for me to go to the forums again anyway.” He also wonders if the lack of candidates means Coldstream is pleased with the work being done, or just don’t want to take on the job. “I think they tolerate me enough to not run against me,” he chuckled.

The wait is over and Vernon’s five mayoralty candidates are ready to convince voters they deserve the city’s top job. Nominations for the Nov. 15 civic election closed Friday and running for mayor are Victor Cumming, Jamie Morrow, Akbal Mund, Mary-Jo O’Keefe and Klaus Tribes. All of them expect a steady pace as they campaign for the next month. “I’ve been attending community gatherings and I will be knocking on doors. There’s social media and it’s about being seen,” said Cumming, who is an economist. Morrow, an Okanagan College recruiter, will be focused on increasing his profile. Victor Cumming “There will be door knocking and people are e-mailing me and posting on the website,” he said. “I want to establish personal relationships. It’s about one person at a time because people talk (to friends and neighbours).” Mund, a former Wendy’s partner, will also be using a mix of social media and traditional methods like visiting homes. “I will be calling people and knocking on doors and tellJamie Morrow ing them what I am about,” he said. “I’m going to bring out a lot of younger voters.” Websites, Facebook and Twitter are being used by O’Keefe, as are brochures. “It’s a hard game to play,” said the current city councillor and owner of MJO Tours of election campaigns. “We have to try and reach out to everyone.” Tribes, a former city councillor and restaurateur, plans to hold a meet-and-greet for residents and brochures have been printed off. “My committee has been working on the campaign and we will let the public know what I’m all about,” he said. All of the candidates have identified
key issues they want to address during the campaign. “We need to grow the regional economy and ensure responsible financial management,” said Cumming, adding that his focus is also strong relationships with neighbouring jurisdictions and seeking government grants for infrastructure. Akbal Mund Morrow wants to engage youth and focus on the economy. “I want to create an environment to keep young people here and jobs. If there is a vibrant downtown, that spreads out through the community,” he said. Mund says he wants to get people interested in city hall. “A lot of people don’t vote and my focus is to get people to vote. People need to make a choice instead of bickering about what the mayor and council do,” he said. O’Keefe insists she Mary-Jo O’Keefe has a clear message. “We need to make it easier for people to invest in the community and start the money rolling around in the economy again,” she said. “How do we support families here. You do that by having stable jobs.” Tribes says he wants to promote town hall meetings and open government so residents are more involved in decisionmaking. “The people of Klaus Tribes Vernon will know what’s going on. I will have an open door as mayor,” he said. Running for the six Vernon councillor seats are Scott Anderson, Juliette Cunningham, Kari Gares, Jack Gilroy, Art Gourley, Janet Green, Shawn Lee, Catherine Lord, Dalvir Nahal, Mark Olsen, Brian Quiring, Bob Spiers, James Todd and Colt Wilson.

Trustees face a challenge

Campaigns begin, just not in Lumby richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Several politicians don’t have to campaign during the Nov. 15 election campaign. The mayors of Armstrong, Coldstream and Lumby have been acclaimed to another term, as have all councillors in Lumby and three Regional Chris Pieper D i s t r i c t of North Okanagan directors. “It’s fairly unusual to have three mayors not challenged,” said Chris Pieper, Armstrong mayor, of himself, Jim Garlick in Coldstream and Kevin Acton in Lumby. n In Lumby, there won’t be a
civic election because there were just enough candidates to fill the four councillor spots — incumbents Nick Hodge, Lori Mindnich and Randal Ostafichuk and newcomer Julie Pilon. “It says we’re doing a pretty good job. I hope it’s not because people are not interested in their town,” said Acton. Kevin Acton P i l o n hopes to bring a range of experience to Lumby council. “There are a lot of business opportunities that can be brought forward and I believe I can help with that. I am a doer,” said the community volunteer, adding there
should be more focus on tourism. “We need to take advantage of the opportunities out there. We need to make the community more appealing so people stop.” n In the RDNO, Bob Fleming is back as BX-Swan Lake director while Mike Macnabb returns as BX-Silver Star director. Hank Cameron takes over from the retiring Eugene Foisy as Cherryville director. Incumbent Rick Fairbairn will face Huguette Allen in rural Lumby and incumbent Jackie Pearase will run against former director Herman Halvorson in rural Enderby. n While Pieper is acclaimed as Armstrong mayor, there are a dozen candidates for the six councillor seats. They are Kerry Bennington, Paul Britton, Steven Drapala, Shirley Fowler, Helen Jackson, Lance McGregor, Dave McKechnie, Gil Melin, Ron O’Sullivan, Robert
Thibeau, John Trainor and Linda Werner. “The majority are involved in the community and want to be involved more,” said Pieper. n In Enderby, there is a two-way race for mayor as incumbent Howie Cyr goes up against Greg McCune, a current councillor. The candidates for the six councillor positions in Enderby are Tundra Baird, Brad Case, Roxanne Davyduke, Raquel Knust, Jim Macknee, Paul McCaig, Brian Schreiner and Shawn Shishido. n In Spallumcheen, incumbent mayor Janice Brown is going up against former mayor Will Hansma and former councillor Dave Brew. For councillor are incumbents Andrew Casson, Christine Fraser, Ed Hanoski, Joe Van Tienhoven and Todd York and newcomers Linda Griffin and Christine LeMaire.
A veteran Vernon School District trustee is facing an electoral challenge. B i l l Tu r a n s k i , who has b e e n Coldstream trustee for 21 years, will go up Bill Turasnki against Robert Lee for the position Nov. 15. Turanski, who is currently board chairperson, has been acclaimed during most of the elections. Elsewhere in the district, the four Greater Vernon seats are being sought by incumbents John Armstrong, Mollie Bono and Kelly Smith, former trustees Steve Connor and Perry Wainwright and newcomers Lisa de Boer and Brenda Giffin. Incumbents Mitiz Fortin and Doris Square have been acclaimed to another term as the Lumby/Cherryville trustees.

WWII bomb found Morning Star Staff
A Second World War balloon bomb has been discovered in the Monashee Mountains. The RCMP were notified Thursday that Tolko Industries staff had found an unexploded Japanese balloon bomb imbedded in the ground off Thunder Mountain Forest Road east of Lumby. “Our officers attended and photographed the suspected bomb,” sad Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “The military disposal unit from Esquimalt was notified and came up Friday to deal with this unexploded bomb.” A couple of pieces that have come off the bomb have been collected by officers.

During the Second World War the Japanese government attached bombs to balloons and they were released with easterly wintertime jet stream winds above 30,000 feet to float 5,000 miles across the north Pacific Ocean. “The idea was to have these devices explode over the forested regions of the Pacific Northwest and initiate large forest fires that would hopefully divert U.S. manpower from war fighting in the Pacific theatre to combat fires at home,” said Molendyk.

Tomorrowland trailer out Kolby SolinSKy BC Local News
The trailer for Disney’s Tomorrowland has finally been released, just a couple months shy of its expected release date on Dec. 12, 2014. The film – starring Britt Robertson, George Clooney, and Hugh Laurie – was filmed (at least in parts) in B.C.’s Okanagan in August, 2013 – shooting in Enderby, Grindrod, and Armstrong, and the crew stayed at Vernon’s Farifield Inn and Enderby’s Fortune’s Landing. “The Tomorrowland (crew) are blown away by the incredible (B.C.) scenery,” said John Trainor, Okanagan Film Commission chairperson, in 2013. “They will go and talk about it and the impact will snowball.” In the trailer below, Robertson goes to collect
her personal belongings from a jail, or an institution of some kind. She is given an unknown pin which, when she touches it, transports her to another world – somewhere with wheat fields, a city of towers, and George Clooney (apparently). “It’s a smartly effective teaser full of an optimism that’s unusual for sci-fi these days, and just enough of screenwriter Damon Lindelof ’s cryptic mystery to intrigue without being frustrating,” writes the AV Club’s Sean O’Neal. The film takes its name from the themed area of Disney’s parks in California and Florida, where one of the park’s most famous rides is located. “And unlike the actual Tomorrowland, you won’t see anyone puking outside of Space Mountain.” To see the trailer, visit vernonmorningstar.com
Rise course gets new owners richard rolKe Morning Star Staff
A Vernon golf course has new owners. The golf course lands only at The Rise were sold during a court ordered sale for $1.75 million Oct. 7. “They (new owners) are from Alberta and they know the property intimately,” said J.D. Murray,
with NAI Commercial, which was the listing broker. “I am not sure what their plans are for the property. The highest and best use is as a golf course.” The property was sold on behalf of the Business Development Bank of Canada and the new owners apparently did not have a realtor involved in
the process. The original asking price was $2.2 million for the Fred Couples-designed, 18-hole course on 144 acres. The clubhouse and the residential development were not included in the court ordered sale. The purchase agreement closes in mid-November.

his case against Michael Ellis. Caunt, who has testified in the same capacity at numerous trials and worked extensively with the Vancouver Police, was asked to review a six-page document he created after examining the weaponry and bullets collected in the aftermath of the shootout. As he traced the steps he took years earlier, Caunt told the court details about the numerous bullets, their casings and twisted bits of metal that he inspected. The story of those bullets has been largely laid out in previous testimony offered over the five weeks of trial. They were let loose on at least one civilian and several police officers on the route taken from Mt. Boucherie Road, to the Swan Lake side of Westside Road. The bullets’ final resting places were on roadsides and rammed into car parts. The casings were found, among other places, on the floors of vehicles alleged to have been stolen by the accused and his two accomplices as they

The number of weapons that were found and the state they were in, however, offered more questions about what Ellis and his accomplices were up to when they were intercepted by police in July of 2012. Caunt found each of the weapons in evidence to be prohibited, largely because they had been altered in some

rudimentary fashion. First among the arsenal of guns he spoke about was a semiautomatic rifle, with its barrel and butt cut down. The barrel should have been around 323 mm, but it was sawed off at the 78 mm mark, impacting its accuracy. “It could fire as fast as you can pull the trigger,” said Caunt. He also found a five shot revolver that also had the barrel cut down. Its trigger was heavy, but it too could have been fired as fast as it took to squeeze off each round. Another weapon believed to be used that day was a Ruger, model 122, carbine. This semiautomatic
weapon had its barrel cut down to 319 mm from its original 470 mm. It also had an aftermarket stock attached. The piece that would traditionally rest on its user’s shoulder could fold down, allowing it to be fired one-handed. Lastly, Caunt pointed to a poorly constructed supressor. Aimed at muffling sound, it was a glass jar stuffed with terry cloth that had been twisted and shoved into the cylinder. Black tape surrounded it all, and there was space for the gun barrel to fit inside. The device was “crude” and “detrimental to accuracy,” said Caunt, but it would not have reduced the dan-
gers the gun posed. Each of the weapons entered into evidence were powerful enough, he told the court, to cause bodily harm and or death. Ellis, 41, is facing numerous charges, among which are five counts of attempted murder. Shawn Adam Wysynski, 34, and Ashley Collins, then 19, have already confessed to being accomplices in the crime spree. Ellis’s defence has not yet indicated whether he’ll bring forth witnesses now that Crown has wrapped up its case. As is, it’s expected there will be a slight adjournment before the defence portion gets underway.

“We challenge you to walk along Westside Road on a cold, dark winter day and tell us if you feel safe.” — Belanger/Marchand
Pointing out the lack of lighting, sidewalks and walking space on the side of the road, they said children are putting their lives at risk to save the district money. “Not only are children at risk but drivers are also now at risk as they have to watch for black ice, cattle, wildlife and now children walking on dark roads and blind corners. Most parents work before and after school hours, some of us have no alternative solutions to getting our children to and home from public school. “As parents, family members, community members, we challenge you to walk along Westside road on a cold, dark winter day and tell us if you feel safe. We are unwilling to sacrifice our children to unsound policies. We expect the district will return our bus stops to provide a safe passageway for our children to receive an education. We trust that this issue will be resolved immediately before B.C.’s Worst Road becomes School District 22’s Trail of Tears.” Turanski said the enforcement of the 2.4 km walk limit, initiated due to lack of student transportation funding, needs to be addressed. “Changes for the 2014-2015 school year are interim measures,” he said. “The board will form a committee made up of district staff, trustees and parents to explore all options including the pay-for-service option.”
An industry specialist hopes to bring new ideas to Vernon’s tourism services. Ange Chew, from Vancouver, will start Nov. 3 as the city’s tourism manager, taking over from Michelle Jefferson, who has retired. “I am passionate about local food and travel experiences,” said Chew. “This role at Tourism Vernon offered me a chance to combine my love of B.C., wines, local produce and experiential travel experiences — skiing and snowboarding, water sports, hiking, fishing and so much more — by promoting a vibrant and multi-faceted city and region to the world.” Chew said she hopes to leverage her experiences and relationships with regional, provin-

The recent changes to busing in the Vernon School District has resulted in a flurry of letters, calls and e-mails from concerned parents. Trustees recently called a special meeting to review the current status of the restructuring of the student transportation system that now enforces a 2.4 km walk limit. “As to be expected when incorporating a major change in a system, the transportation department has had to deal with a number of concerns expressed by parents relating to pick-up and drop- off locations and potential safety concerns,” said school board chairman Bill Turanski. “The manager of transportation is attempting to deal with these concerns and changes have been made, where necessary, to pick-up and drop-off locations and particular attention has been given to dealing with potential safety concerns. “In some cases students are being picked up within the walk limit zones where safety concerns merit it. In addition the transportation department has added numerous new bus stops and an additional bus run to address some of these concerns.” In a letter to trustees and district superintendent Joe Rogers, Mariel Belanger and Melanie Marchand expressed their concern on behalf of Westside Road parents about getting their children to and from the bus stop safely. “As members of the Okanagan Indian Band we hold School District 22 accountable and responsible for putting our children at high risk,” they said. “Some of our children have to walk up to three km from the designated bus stop to get home from school.” Belanger and Marchand said BCAA calls Westside one of the province’s worst roads, and said not enough thought was put into road safety, nor were parents given a chance to voice their concerns.

What Your Posture Says About Your Health Your posture is literally how you balance your head over your shoulders, over your pelvis, and down through your knees and ankles. The alignment of your posture will determine how well you age. Our bones are aligned with evolutionary precision to optimize motion, create strength, and protect vital organs. On Earth, we stand, sit, and move within a gravitational field. One G-force can be easily appreciated when impacting the ground from a height. Our posture constantly copes with this never-ending force, struggling to stay upright, while our neuromuscular system constantly maintains our orientation. Posture is dynamic and adaptive, maintaining the 4 zones of bones in balance: head, torso, pelvis and legs. Balance and stability are best achieved when all 4 blocks are evenly placed on top of each other. Postural assessments by Chiropractors are designed to locate imbalances in these 4 zones, such as compensations, dysfunctional movement patterns, and adaptational changes which can lead to chronic joint pain and stiffness. Poor alignment weakens our posture and creates wear-and-tear and stress in our joints. Over time, the body can grow frail and weak, with aches and chronic joint pain resulting in joint degeneration (osteoarthritis). Chiropractors help stabilize your body with professional posture-focused care. This reduces bio-mechanical stress and helps prevent numerous physical ailments. Ever have a spine and posture check to see how you stack up?

Happy Thanksgiving
t’s Thanksgiving weekend, a holiday that doesn’t quite fit into our consumer culture but one of my favourites nonetheless. I mean it always takes a back seat to Christmas in this country for obvious reasons but in many ways it even has less star power than Halloween (which in my book doesn’t even qualify for holiday status as there’s no day off involved). But then that’s partly due to the nature of the holiday, quietly giving thanks and gratitude for all the splendour we enjoy in these parts, versus all the hullabaloo and hijinks that is Halloween. They are almost polar opposites in many ways, the former is reflective, passive, life-affirming and thoughtful while the latter is superficial, in-your-face, deathobsessed and loud. Glenn Mitchell Hey, don’t get me wrong, I enjoy both, especially when you have young kids for the latter, but today’s treatise is on Thanksgiving and how maybe it needs a better public relations department. But then again, that would be the wrong approach. The holiday is deliberately low-key by nature and not into creating a fuss about anything, that’s entirely the wrong approach for quiet reflection. Three cheers for Thanksgiving comes off wrong somehow. Nevertheless I think the holiday has much to teach our fast-paced, gotta-have-it-before-it’spasse, mile-a-minute modern society. Maybe, just maybe we should take some time off the treadmill and reflect and be grateful for the bounty we share in these parts and get to witness on a daily basis. I mean, the summer we just enjoyed was amazing and the current weather is almost even more phenomenal with the cooler nights and the more relaxing feel of autumn. I had a week off recently and tried to take the time to do some of the things that I wanted to do, but never found the time to get accom-

plished, in the daily routine of a two working parents lifestyle that we like to call modern times. So I got winter tires for the truck, went for dinner with friends on a Friday night, started on the pile of magazines next to my bedstand and played tennis with the old man. Now it should be noted that “the old man” reference shows no disrespect to my father, who is 83 and kind of qualifies if the truth be told, but it’s a moniker he used to describe his, well, “old man,” and it’s carried on, somewhat, to the next generation and maybe even to the next one, although I dare my boys to use it .... Anyway the opportunity to play tennis with your dear ol’ dad on a late September Friday afternoon in Canada is something to be grateful for in itself. So it was nice just to be there, as they say, and share the experience. And the fact that it was quickly 2-0 for the old man wasn’t that surprising as he plays with some other gentlemen twice a week and he has this brand new racquet and I couldn’t remember the last time I played and my racquet is old and ... but I’m from a family of four boys and we’re a pretty competitive lot and I used to play quite a bit, so I was intent on at least winning one game. And I won two. And then he won two and before you knew it was 5-5 and we were heading for a tiebreaker and the competitive juices were flowing, well, as if I was a teenager and he was, well, whatever he was in the year 1975 on the shores of Kalamalka Lake. But, of course, it was 2014 and I wasn’t young anymore and he definitely wasn’t either and when he stopped short of attempting to return one volley suggesting that “there isn’t quite as much running in doubles like I’m used to,” I was starting to feel guilty and thinking “OK, winning is important but keeping the old man around a few more years is maybe even more important.” Or was he playing me, so to speak? In the “all’s well that ends well” department we both lived to tell, well at least I’m telling, our story and, yes, I did end up winning (ahem) but more importantly it was yet another moment to feel blessed about on so many levels. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Mayors and councillors didn’t get much in the way of joy or love from the provincial government last week during the Union of B.C. Municipalities annual conference. A resolution was passed unanimously by UBCM delegates asking the government to rescind recent B.C. Ferries fare hikes and service cuts. Minutes after the resolution passed, Transportation Minister Todd Stone kiboshed the idea. “That’s not going to happen,” he told a reporter. The UBCM was asking for a rollback in fares to 2013 rates. They were too high then, as well. The motion put forward by UBCM delegates came on the heels of a report suggesting B.C. has missed out on more than $2 billion in economic activity over the past decade because of rising fares. Stone labelled the report “irresponsible” and “unsubstantiated.” When he wasn’t keeping the socialist hordes away from the gates of British Columbia, Premier W.A.C. Bennett essentially created B.C. Ferries in the late 1950s. A strike by employees of the private Black Ball Line was the impetus for Bennett’s plan to create a government-owned ferry service. Bennett saw it as an extension of the highway system. Say that now and watch federal and provincial politicians run for the hills. Back at the UBCM last week, delegates passed an emergency motion related to the sharing of tax revenue by the province. This is mostly about infrastructure upgrades and the increasing difficulty municipalities have funding projects. The emergency motion was thought to be required because the provincial government has ignored, for 12 months, a report detailing a partnership proposal between the province and municipalities. No word, no love, from the province on this one, either. Makes one wonder just how serious the provincial government takes the UBCM. Black Press

M
y car is half of my life because I still cook and look after my suite. I buy fruit for some people, take them to the bank and usually these people are in wheelchairs and that means I'm responsible for them. And now I feel useless because I can't help these people in need. When I was at the doctor's office examining my eyes, the doctor said my vision was in good condition. But yet I still had to do a driver's test although I still had two years left on my driver's license. Since I did that road test but did not pass, I was thinking to myself, "I have been driving 50 years without an accident and I do know I'm a good driver. Otherwise, I would just quit on my own." Now back to the road test. First of all, it's like in an army. After 45 minutes of driving, one gets tired of shoulder/back looking and so on. I'm pretty sure a good driver will always make sure there is nobody in the blind spot and all those little things. You are under pressure (who needs that?). Second of
Answering the cAll On Sept. 22 I was leaving a friend's house at about 8:30 p.m. As I was travelling down 24th Avenue in Vernon, I saw a pedestrian standing on the side of the road with a cat between her and this woman that had pulled over in a Jeep. Assuming that they were talking I rolled down my window and asked if she could grab her cat so I could pass them. She explained to me that the cat was not her's and that it had been hit by a car. I pulled my car safely to the side of the road and called the emergency line for the SPCA, getting no response. My only option was to leave a message. When I got out of my car, the cat was frightened and had dragged itself to nearby bushes to hide. I continued to call numerous local veterinarians who all stated that they could not help me if I did not know the owner of the cat. By this time, numerous bystanders were waiting with me and this cat as we continued to try and find it some help. My last resort was to call the
all, the streets were dirty and I couldn't see any white lines. Needless to say, five mistakes. I just touched the line, which I could not see, so my license got suspended. I still play tennis and I am a member of the Schubert Centre but the days I want to be there, the bus does not go from Coldstream Meadows. It only goes 2.5 days a week and doesn't drive to the tennis field, only to one place and picks you up two hours later. How
non-emergency line for the local RCMP to see if they could help. The dispatcher that I talked to took my information and dispatched an officer, asking me to wait until he arrived. Shortly after I had contacted the RCMP, an officer arrived. He explained that there was nothing he could do to help this suffering animal. My heart, torn to pieces, I called my mom and explained the situation to her. She told me to contact her veterinarian, Kristina Ringness, and see if she could help. Almost losing faith, I made one last phone call to Dr. Ringness. After two rings, Kristina answered the phone asking what had happened. I explained to her the situation and that there was a large amount of blood loss and the cat was bleeding from its nose and mouth, and was hiding under nearby bushes. She asked me if I could manage to get the cat and meet her at the clinic. I told her that I would try. After five minutes of trying to get
can I get from one end of town to the other end if I need things from there? I have worked my entire life for that car and now I'm not allowed to drive anymore. How sad is that? I feel like I'm in the middle of a huge chaos right now. I have no more independence although I'm in perfect condition. I feel safe in my driving when I'm alone in my car completely concentrating, respecting
this animal to safety, I called her back and explained to her that I could not get this cat. It was suffering and in too much pain for me to move it. Right away, Dr Ringness asked my location. I explained to her where I was and she arrived about 10 minutes after I had called her. I showed her the cat and we managed to capture it without further injury. She then wrapped it in a blanket, taking it to her clinic where she preformed life-saving procedures managing to save this poor animal's life. I just want to say a huge thank you for your act of kindness Dr Ringness. If you would have not come to the rescue, this animal would have suffered through the night. You never realize how hard it is to find help for an injured animal until you have to make that phone call. There should be more funding or resources for horrible situations like this. This veterinarian is a true hero to me and I am so thankful that she made herself available for this
suffering animal.
school zones, people crossing the street and so on. Although I would have my license for two more years right now, it was suddenly taken away from me. Of course if my two years would expire by themselves, I would know time is up, give up driving and I would go with my instincts and stop driving all by myself. Two recommendations were given to me but in this world today, nothing counts anymore except for looking over your shoulder 100 times and so on. I don't think they care enough for older people. After all, we helped form our country into what it is today. I worked 40 years for the public and this is what I get in return. I am very unhappy right now. Before I went to do my road test, I took $200 worth of driving lessons, learning lots and obeying my instructor but all for nothing. They want you out, more than 80, old stuff. ingeborg schaffner

Avenue MArKet The Avenue Market had a significantly positive impact on Olive Us. As a retailer, it was wonderful to be able to showcase our products with food samples under our tent and then invite people to come in to the store for a full tasting experience. The Avenue Market created a friendly, party atmosphere on the street and likewise in the store. Many people came downtown because of the market and became aware of our store and many other wonderful businesses as a result. There was vibrancy to the downtown as Vernon came alive on Friday evenings and offered a great opportunity for visitors and locals alike to get outside and enjoy a walk in our beautiful town. We sincerely hope the Avenue Market will become an annual part of downtown Vernon. Thanks again to all of you at the Downtown Vernon Association for your hard work and dedication to make this happen and become the success that we feel it
has been. ray Morin and Janet cody Olive us Oil and vinegar tasting room

There are 14 candidates for Vernon’s six councillor seats in the Nov. 15 election. Among them are Scott Anderson and Colt Wilson. “We absolutely need to revitalize the business environment in Vernon,” said Anderson, who is in corporate communications and operate a recycling business. Scott Anderson “It’s not just a matter of streamlining city regulations, although that is crucial. It will also require provincial and federal co-operation on such things as transportation.” Anderson, who recently sought the federal Conservative nomination, says there is a need to focus on Colt Wilson repairing city infrastructure. “I’m also deeply concerned about a perceived inability of citizens to make their
voices heard by council,” he said. “As councillor I plan to actively seek out input from citizens on major issues, and to bring those forward to council.” Anderson is a member of Silver Star Rotary and the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce. Wilson was born and raised in Vernon. “I have a lot of roots here and I don’t necessarily like the direction that’s been occurring,” said the letter carrier and president of the local Canadian Union of Postal Workers. “I want to be involved and help the community I live in.” A campaign focus will be the economy. “I want to create jobs here and retain the jobs we have,” he said. Wilson also believes the city should put more emphasis on the environment. “Vernon needs to focus on being green. We don’t want to destroy what we have that makes this area so beautiful.” The other candidates for Vernon councillor are Juliette Cunningham, Kari Gares, Jack Gilroy, Art Gourley, Janet Green, Shawn Lee, Catherine Lord, Dalvir Nahal, Mark Olsen, Brian Quiring, Bob Spiers and James Todd.

He also wants to see a continued focus on road upgrades, including Westside Road. “There are a lot more areas that need improvement,” he said. Von Krosigk lives in Kelowna. He doesn’t believe his lack of residency in the Central Okanagan West electoral area will prevent him from representing the needs of residents. “It’s my backyard. I spend lots of time there,” he said. “It’s such an interesting area and there is lots of potential there.”

He’s flagrant with his approach and threats,” said Macnabb. The locked gate was installed last year because of ongoing problems with illegal dumping, parties and vehicles posing a safety
risk. “Our biggest concern in the summer is fires with bush parties,” said Macnabb. It’s also not uncommon for stolen vehicles to be set on fire at the end of Hartnell Road. “Because it’s a park, we do have the right to restrict use,” said Macnabb, adding that RDNO is working with the Ministry of Forests on limiting vehicular access.
Action wanted over smart meters richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Spallumcheen is ringing alarm bells about smart meters. Council wants assurances from the provincial government that B.C. Hydro smart meters do not cause fires, don’t create harmful radiation and aren’t prone to inaccuracy causing overbilling. “Smart meters have been removed from Saskatchewan and some communities have refused them altogether,” said Coun. Ed Hanoski. Council also wants to know if the meters are approved by the Underwriters Laboratory and Canadian Safety Standards. Until these issues are clarified, council says residents who refuse a smart meter should be able to access an analog meter. Council business continues Spallumcheen council will continue to meet even after the election. Staff had proposed cancelling the Nov. 17 regular meeting and the Nov. 24 committee of the whole because they will fall after the Nov. 15 election. “A lot of communities across the province are not having meetings after elections. The rationale is with planning and land use reports, the previous

council started a process and the new council can renegotiate a process,” said Cindy Graves, deputy corporate officer. However, a majority of the current council decided to continue with their duties until the new council becomes official in early December. “We’ve had them both before and it hasn’t caused much trouble,” said Coun. Todd York. Coun. Andrew Casson opposed continuing with the meetings. “People not re-elected may not feel confident voting (on issues) on behalf of voters,” he said. Traffic concerns pushed Spallumcheen officials used the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention to raise awareness about outstanding transportation issues. Council met with Transportation Minister Todd Stone on a number of issues, including access to businesses along Highway 97A. “Traffic is getting worse and worse,” said Coun. Joe Van Tienhoven. Talks also revolved around the intersection at the McLeod subdivision and proposed four-laning of Highway 97A to Enderby. “They are definitely interested in working with us on a transportation plan,” said Van Tienhoven.
Based on the most recent incident, Macnabb is concerned a conflict could arise between residents there and people opposed to the gate. “It’s difficult to control that kind of behaviour. It becomes a challenge for them to get around the regulations,” said Macnabb.

Community Living Month was built from an idea that launched a community development initiative called Community Living Day in Victoria in 1996. The project encouraged members of community living associations and their community partners to plan events during October that celebrate the gifts and talents that people with developmental disabilities bring to their communities. The project generated great enthusiasm and the idea began to expand.

Changes are underway with the Interior Health Authority’s governance structure. Vernon’s Virginia Goodings is retiring from the IHA board after six years and in December, Norm Embree’s role as chairperson comes to an end. “I would like to express my sincere thanks to those within Interior Health who support the board and have indeed supported me through the years,” said Goodings. “It is not without regret that I say goodbye. I have never encountered such a professional group of people, who are so dedicated to quality.” The new IHA board chairperson is Erwin Malzer, of Kelowna.

Panthers shell Valleyview 53-7 Morning Star Staff
The host Vernon Panthers recorded touchdowns on each of their eight possessions Friday afternoon at Grahame Park. The result was a 53-7 Okanagan Varsity Football Association win over the Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops. Panther quarterback John Garvie followed up a B.C. AA Player of the Week performance by tossing four touchdowns, and going 8-of-10 for 189 yards. “Our focus for the week was to improve our passing game and I thought we accomplished that,” said VSS head coach Sean Smith. “John did a good job involving six different receivers and it was nice to get Levi (Nicholas) involved more extensively.” Josh Hyer, a Grade 10 student, had two nice catches and got into the end zone twice. Zac Kronbauer was 6-for-8 on extra points, and added an 85-yard kickoff return for a TD. Defensively, Karson Patommel led all tacklers with five, while Zach Hyer added four and an interception. “We had some new faces in practice this week so it was nice to get our reserves in for an extended period of game action,” added Smith. “Jesse Bielski impressed in his debut at linebacker (three tackles) and Tyler Semeniuk had a great game at tackle, collecting

Zac Kronbauer of the VSS Panthers jumps over a tackle from Malaki Vandas of the Valleyview Vikings in Okanagan varsity football action Friday at Grahame Park. The Cats won 53-7. three tackles and a sack. “Our goal this season is to be able compete with the big boys. If we want to do that, we have to develop depth at all positions, so this was a good opportunity to do that.” The Panthers, who are 2-0 in league play, and 4-0 overall,
entertain the Salmon Arm Golds Friday, 2 p.m., at Grahame. In other Okanagan varsity play Friday afternoon, the Fulton Maroons used four TDs from Mike Williamson as they manhandled the Golds 48-22 for their first win of the season. Williamson reached the end-
zone twice on the rush (five and 35 yards), once in the air (15 yards) and again on a 50-yard fumble recovery. Fulton, who led 21-15 at the half, got other offence from Tyler Liefke (nine-yard reception), Darrien Broomfield (five-yard reception) and Max Champman
Golf duo cards consecutive aces KEVIN MITCHELL

Aces were wild for one foursome Wednesday at the Spallumcheen Golf & Country Club. John LePrieur, 59, and Glenn Hermanson, 82, who just met prior to the 11 a.m. shotgun start, both recorded hole-in-ones, just over an hour apart. Joined by Gord Holm and Steve Thompson, the fireworks began on the par-3 15th when LePrieur stepped up and used a No. 3 hybrid club from 176 yards. “The pin was at the back of the bunker so
I couldn’t see where it landed,” said LePrieur. “One of my buddies hit the green. When we got up there, we started looking in the grass and another foursome told us to check the hole. Sure enough, they were right.” It was the first career ace for LaPrieur, a retired heavy duty mechanic who just took up the game last year after playing fastball and baseball back in the day. “I played 250 rounds on the baby course, the executive, last year, and I’ve got 124 rounds in on the championship course,” said LePrieur. “I just love the game. I wish I had taken it up as a kid.”
He normally shoots in the high 80s, but finished with a career-best 79 thanks to his ace. The group started on No. 13 so a nervous LePrieur had 16 holes to go after the hole-inone. “Steve hit one on 12 about two or three inches away so we almost had three,” added LePrieur. “And Gord chipped in for birdie on another hole. What a day.” Hermanson aced the par-3 17th hole, also known as Chappy Island, in memory of former Spall employee George Chapman. Hermanson used a 28-degree hybrid from 121 yards.
See HERMANSON on A14
(two-yard run). QB Tye Kitzman completed 11-of-20 passes for 184 yards with one interception. Chapman led the ground assault with 101 yards on 15 touches, and was equally good defensively with a team-high five tackles. Broomfield earned 82 passing yards on five catches, while he and Sikandar Ahmad each delivered four tackles. Broomfield and Kyle Dennis each had a sack, and Brandon Isaac and Kobe Romanovitch supplied picks. “It was nice to get the monkey off our backs and get a win finally,” said Fulton head coach Mike Scheller. “Our kids played great and played like they should. We played fast and aggressive for the first time all year. “Our defence really improved since last week – we eliminated the big plays against us and took five turnovers, three interceptions and two fumbles.” Fulton’s defence only surrendered seven meaningful points, and Scheller gave the credit to defensive coaches Darryl Thomas and Kevin Stecyk. Scheller also praised the two-way play of Chapman, and the work by offensive linemen Trent Smith and Quinn Miller, who helped create space for the Maroons’ running game.

Liam Coughlin shoots like he’s a member of the North Okanagan Trap and Skeet Club. Problem is he’s been slightly off the mark in his past few B.C. Hockey League tilts. The South Boston product hit the bull’seye Friday night at Kal Tire Place, squeaking a five-hole blast past Angus Redmond on a late third-period rush as the Vernon Vipers shaded the Salmon Arm Silverbacks 3-2 in front of 1,700 fans. “You get nine shots a game, one of them has to go in, right?” grinned Coughlin, drafted this summer by the Edmonton Oilers (5th round, 130th overall). “The last couple of games I’ve been snakebitten. I’ve had a lot of chances and finally one trickled in for me.” Vernon, now 4-30-1, entertained the 5-1 Chilliwack Chiefs Saturday at the Big Wheel. The Silverbacks, losers of four straight, dipped to 3-3-0-2, one point back of Vernon.

Anthony Latina of the Vernon Vipers protects the puck from Damian Chrcek of the Salmon Arm Silverbacks in B.C. Hockey League play Friday night at Kal Tire Place. Anthony Latina, with his team-leading fourth goal, jumpstarted Vernon’s attack in the first period after some good hustle by linemate Luke Voltin, who drove to the net and was pokechecked by Angus Redmond (27 saves). The rebound went straight out to Latina, 20, who had no problem burying it in a wide open net at 8:24. The ‘Backs equalized at 11:48 as Taro Hirose took feed from Taylor Maruya, drove up the middle and finished with a slick backhander, top shelf. Salmon Arm failed to convert on an early
5-on-3 in the second period, but with 1:13 remaining in the second penalty, a cross-checking minor to Trevor Fidler, Chase Priskie threaded a point shot through traffic, going post-andin behind a screened Jarrod Schamerhorn (21 saves). Vernon got into penalty trouble again in the second period, sending Salmon Arm on another 5-on-3. Viper forward Thomas Aldworth, who took the original penalty, came out of the box, took a feed from Fidler and used his wheels to earn a shorthanded breakaway. He deftly beat Redmond with
a forehand-backhand deke to make it 2-2 before the ice clean. “I saw an opportunity when the puck got turned over and Fidler made a good play,” said Aldworth, a Texan who played prep school hockey in Massachusetts. “We were just really focussed tonight and we had a lot of energy as well. Our team just wanted it more; we were working really hard all night.” Aldworth, named first star, nearly had the go-ahead goal in the opening minute of period three, but he flicked his shot off the crossbar after taking a shovel pass
Hermanson still swinging at 82 Continued from A13
“It sort of bounced on the green and rolled towards the hole,” said Hermanson, a retired civil engineer. “It was my first hole-in-one. I’m running out of time because I turned 82 in June. I finished with a 90. I almost shot my age today (Friday) with an 83.” Hermanson grew up in Northern Ontario, playing a six-hole course with sand greens on the Sioux Lookout track. He played regular courses when he was dean of the Red River College in Winnipeg later in life. “I moved to Vernon in ‘92 and joined Spall in ‘94. I played with (Spall pro) Myles Johnson when he was 12 and he was playing 45 holes a day.”

from TJ Dumonceux. The Vipers weathered an early penalty kill early in the third period, then used their speed to smother Salmon Arm. They held the visitors to just one shot before the ‘Backs finally started getting pucks on Schamerhorn in the final minutes. “We didn’t have the third period we were looking for,” said Salmon Arm head coach Brandon West. “We broke down a couple times and we didn’t get the puck to the net, but we were never out of it.” Logan Mick, a former Viper who is enjoying a larger role since landing in Salmon Arm this season, said it’s just a matter of time before the ‘Backs put it all together. “We could have been a lot better tonight, but it’s just one of those things where pucks weren’t going our way,” said Mick, 18. “Our work ethic is there, we’ve just got to work smarter and develop our systems a little more. Once we do that, we’ll be in good shape.” Friday night was the Viper debut for a trio of defencemen – Luke Shiplo, returning from a broken hand, and Brandon Egli and Mitch Meek, both acquired this week in a trade with the Victoria Grizzlies. At one point, Meek and Egli, perhaps a little too eager to put on a show, abandoned their defensive posts to join the forecheck. Vernon head coach Mark Ferner chuckled about it after. “Two defencemen with no name bars and they’re both forechecking? They wanted to come in and make an impression. “I’m sure they’re a little bit nervous, regardless of their experience, of coming to a new team. Once they settle in, they’ll be fine.” SNAKE BITES: The anthem singer needed a little vocal support from the crowd as she bungled O Canada twice during the pregame ceremony... Coughlin and Hirose were named second and third star, respectively.

C
Oliver high on Avalanche
aden and Layten Oliver have brought a deeper meaning of life to Dave Oliver, who as the new Director of Player of Development for the Colorado Avalanche, is all about improvement and growth. Dave doesn’t want the “go, go hockey” life, rather having both his sons trying a variety of sports as he and his wife, Shawna, begin a new adventure out in Lavington. “They say hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in athletics and my oldest (Caden, 5) can hit it pretty darn good,” Kevin Mitchell laughed Dave, outside The Morning Star office a few Fridays ago. “So hopefully that means something down the road. Maybe he’ll be running logging trucks up in Lumby, who knows. It’s fun watching them go from three to five when their coordination kicks in.” Oliver, 43, is in his eighth season with the Avs. He spent the last three seasons as Director of AHL Operations for the Lake Erie Monsters, Colorado’s American League affiliate in Cleveland. He will rack up the frequent flyer miles being based out of Vernon. Tyler Wright is coaching Bantam Rep hockey here and has the same job as Oliver with the Detroit Red Wings. He will likely be on some flights alongside Oliver. In his new role, Oliver works with Avalanche assistant GM Craig Billington in overseeing the development of all of the franchise’s prospects in the pro, junior and college ranks in both North America and Europe. “Craig Billington and I worked real well together (with Lake Erie) and he got the promotion to assistant GM with Colorado and he put my name in there for this gig. It’s pretty exciting, and obviously to be able to move back to Vernon, is a nice little topper for it.” Oliver says Joe Sakic and Patrick Roy quickly established a completely different philosophy when they joined the Avs. “It’s all geared towards winning. Who better to look at than those two guys? They’re both Hall of Fame players and it only took them one year of doing the NHL thing to get the Avalanche back on the map. There’s a new level of what you have to do on a daily basis if you want to stay involved. It’s a lot of fun.” Oliver’s management career took a rather bizarre twist when the 2012 NHL lockout forced him to help coach the Monsters. He loved working under David Quinn, now head coach of the Boston University Terriers. “I was fortunate enough to work under him for a year because what he did was pretty amazing from a coaching standpoint. Just the way he conducted himself. You gotta walk that fine line in being too hard and getting guys to wanna win and compete for you. He just tight-roped it all and he was a good communicator.” Oliver also spent time on the Monsters’ bench alongside Dean Chynoweth, a former first-round NHL draft pick.
BETWEEN THE LINES
“He’s a Western League guy and he ran a completely different system, So two guys, two different coaching systems. It was a pretty cool experience all in all. I can use that in my job developing my guys because these guys, from year to year, are going to go from one coach to the next and you gotta do your job. I’m basically coaching skills within another coach’s system.” While home for the summer, Oliver tried some new approaches with local junior prospects trying to gain an edge. The tricky part of his job is dealing with players all hearing different advice all over the planet. “I love my job because I really get to work on so many different aspects of the game. If a kid’s horrible at crossing over or faceoffs or hitting or dee zone coverage, I get to specify on that. Normally, a coach has 23 guys to coach so you’re mainly doing systems stuff and there’s very little time at the end of practice to work on what the individual needs to excel. If I pick two or three things out of a weekend that a kid needs to work on, that’s a win because if I can get him on track doing those three things, it’s going to add to what he does well.” Selected by the Oilers in the seventh round (144th overall) of the 1991 Entry Draft, Oliver played in 233 career NHL games with the Oilers, Rangers, Senators, Coyotes and Stars. He led the Oilers with 16 goals during the ‘95 shortened season, becoming the first rookie in franchise history to lead the team in scoring. He was second behind Peter Forsberg for the Calder Trophy as Rookie of the Year. Oliver played four seasons of collegiate hockey for the University of Michigan Wolverines and was named the CCHA’s Player of the Year in 1993-94. He still gets chills recalling the moment in 1990 when the Vernon Lakers won the Centennial Cup on home ice and cherishes his pro career more than ever. “When you’re in it, you don’t really appreciate what you did because you always want that next game. You think ‘I’m better than that guy.’ You hear that all the time. ‘‘I’m better than that guy and he’s still playing.’ All those things go through your head. After a while, you get old and you get slow and it’s hard to get out of bed and you can’t walk the same. You try and skate with the kids and you realize, being on this side of the fence in administration/pro side, it’s amazing anybody makes it because it’s tough. It’s really hard to make it.” And while he’s stoked about the Avs’ chances at glory as the likes of Gabriel Landeskog, Tyson Barrie and Nathan MacKinnon get better by the hour, Oliver is more impressed being a dad. “There’s nothing like being a
dad. It certainly puts your job and everything you’ve done in your pro career into perspective because there’s nothing more important than that.” Well, maybe former Kelowna Rocket Dave Oliver d-man Tyson Barrie comes the closest. Barrie, 23, was a third-round pick in 2009, but plays like a first rounder. “When the game is on the line, that kid steps up. He’s got amazing high-end skill and as good as he is a hockey player, he’s an even better kid. He’s just a great person. He’s top notch. He’s got his contract done and he’s healthy and he’s going to be a big part of the Avs. He’s going to have a great year.”

Vipers fall to PoCo Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Home Building Centre Vipers fell 3-1 to host Port Coquitlam in Midget Tier 1 hockey play Friday night. Darien Grace opened the scoring with assists to Conner Johnston and Bryce Pyle, however Vernon ran into some penalty trouble in the sec-
ond period and Port Coquitlam punished them with three powerplay goals. The Snakes’ Stephane Richard had a chance to pull his team within a goal on a shorthanded breakaway, but rang his shot off the post. Josh Evans recorded 20 saves for Vernon. Meanwhile, the Vernon Watkin Motors Mustangs opened the Seafair Pee Wee Tier 1 tournament with a fastpaced 1-1 draw against the St. Albert Blues on Friday. The Alberta boys had Vernon on its heels for the first 10 minutes before the Mustangs found their legs. Cayden Hamming was solid in net, with the Blues finally solving him just before the ice clean. Steel Quring snuck a shot five-hole to tie it. Assists went to Scott Gilowski and Connor Elliot. The line of Trevor Kennedy, Cole Boyarski and Lachlan O’Keefe had a strong game.

All aboard a toy train margaret deefholts Special To The Morning Star
INDIA - The dawn sky is flamingo pink as my cousins and I, board a miniscule carriage at Metapullayam station. Even at this early hour the platform is bustling with eager vacationers. The Nilgiri’s Blue Mountain “toy” Train is bound for the town of Coonoor in the Nilgiri Hills of South India. This is one of only two steam-powered train journeys in India, the other one being the Darjeeling Mountain Railway. From Coonoor the journey to Udagamandalam (formerly known as Ootacamund, and popularly shortened to “Ooty”), is powered by diesel—a more prosaic locomotive than this coal-fired little Puffing Billy. The entire railway line from Metapullayam to Ooty covers 26 kilometres. The train will negotiate 208 curves, 16 tunnels, and cross 250 wooden trestle bridges along one of the steepest tracks in India, in about four hours and ten minutes. We have been looking forward to this trip for months, as it completes a foursome of mountain railway journeys we’ve done together over the past couple of years. The SiliguriDarjeeling train and the Kalka-Shimla train both traverse the lower ranges of the mighty Himalayas, with spectacular vistas around each curve of the track, while the Matheran Hill Railway, a short distance from Mumbai climbs a flat topped plateau. For us, the Nilgiri ranges of Tamil Nadu in South India are unexplored territory. The little train jerks into life, pushed by a steam engine at the rear. A railway conductor perches on a platform in front of the train to check for obstacles; herds of wild elephants

We have front centre views of the narrow gauge track as it winds sinuously through tropical forests and dense undergrowth. At this stage, the terrain is relatively flat, so we move along quite briskly, but on the horizon the Nilgiri ranges lie against the sky like azure smudges, giving rise to their popular nickname, Blue Mountains. At Kallar station the train engages with a rack and pinion rail that runs along the middle of the track. Then, as the climb begins in earnest, the little train clicks and clatters as it pants uphill. The scenery changes to rugged gorges and silvery waterfalls plunging over jagged rocks. The train rides along the rim of canyons, and we gaze out at chiffon scarves of mist wreathing the summits of peaks. This is thirsty work, and the locomotive is replenished with water at stations with very English names like Adderley, Hillgrove and Runneymede. At Hillgrove passengers dismount to sip chai and click their cameras at vistas of the Nilgiri mountains folded range upon range, reaching skywards to heights of
9,000 feet or more. After Runneymede, the scenery gives way to rolling hills with tea bushes like green knitted shawls flung across their slopes. Houses, painted bright primary colours of orange, green and purple dot the hillsides or stand tucked into tree-shaded valleys. The air is fresh and cool now and the breeze carries the scent of pine and wild flowers. Like us, passengers don cardigans and woolly toques. We dis-
mount at Coonoor and bid farewell to our carriage companions who will be continuing on to Ooty. Over the next few days, we explore our surroundings. First up is Coonoor’s Sim’s Park its terraced botanical garden with gracious old trees and lawns a haven of tranquility. Lookout points at Dolphin’s Nose, Lamb’s Rock and Doddabetta Peak (at 8,650 feet) encompass sweeping views of tea plantations,
craggy rocks and cascading waterfalls. In the little village of Kotagiri, we browse delightedly through a warren of stalls selling fruit, vegetables and flowers, later dropping into a wayside restaurant to sip creamy aromatic South Indian coffee. Snooty Ooty as it’s often labelled, is a sprawling, trafficcongested town. We escape to the manicured lawns of the Botanical Garden, and from there a stiff uphill hike to an off-the-beaten-track leads us to a Toda tribal village. Then, intrigued by a note in our Lonely Planet guidebook, we drop by the Thread Garden museum and stand agape at a unique collection of threadand-wire flowers and plants, meticulously hand-woven on canvas. Back at our lodgings in Coonoor, a cool evening breeze rustles the trees in the garden, and the sun sinks to rest in a blaze of glory bringing our Nilgiri visit to a serene close.

Vernon Kia in the fast lane GRAEME CORBETT Business Editor
It’s been five years since the Johnston Automotive Group took over Vernon Kia. In that short time, they’ve gone from a dealership gearing up to gain traction on the Swan Lake Auto Mile to one of the fastest growing Kia franchises in all of Canada. At a company awards ceremony earlier this year in Las Vegas, Vernon Kia was named the fastest growing dealership in Western Canada, and second overall in the country. The award was based on an overall scorecard of the dealer’s sales, customer service, parts ordering and other criteria. “Coming from a store that struggled for the first couple of years to one of the most improved or best overall in Canada, we’re quite proud,” said Lee Casperson, CFO of the Johnston Group, and manager of Vernon Kia. “The first few years after we opened were quite tough. We’re continually improving and trying to grow the business. We’ve got the largest inventory we’ve ever had, and our service department is getting busier and busier.” Casperson, who has been with the auto group – which also runs Vernon Dodge, Kelowna Chrysler, Kelowna BMW and Kamloops Dodge – for 12 years, said a big part of Vernon Kia’s success is derived from community partnerships and the visibility they help create. “We’re fairly focused on that,” said Casperson. “We’re trying different things just to create chatter within the community. We still phone people and they say ‘We didn’t know there’s a Kia dealership here.’” In the last year, they have supported a variety of events, including: 12-hour cancer relay at Polson Park; coat drive with the local fire department and Salvation Army; Sun FM food drive; Mid Summers Eve; Riot on the Roof; men’s night golf at Spallumcheen; and the Vernon Lions Club murder mystery dinner and silent auction, among others. The other thing that has helped the dealership is the product itself. Casperson said Kia is all about value for the consumer. He adds most models receive upgrades on a three-year cycle to ensure they keep up with the latest technology and industry trends. “The base models come well equipped – heated seats, Bluetooth,” he said. “The big thing Kia has is its dollarfor-value options are probably the best on the market. “The five-year warranty is huge and Kia Canada promotes it well.”

Hypnotherapist earns college associate credentials Morning Star Staff
Carole Fawcett of Vernon has become the second clinical hypnotherapist in Canada to be named an associate member of the College of Family Physicians of Canada. Fawcett is a master practitioner of counselling psychology with the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association. According to Dr. Fred Janke, associate profes-
Futures hosting seminars
sor of the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Alberta: “A clinical hypnotherapist is someone who has been trained in using the art of hypnosis together with therapeutic intervention to bring about improvement or healing in a variety of clinical conditions and negative behaviours. “A well-trained hypnotherapist will be able to apply knowledge and training to establish and manage the subconscious root cause of negative
behaviours such as fears, phobias (and) anxiety.” The field of hypnotherapy does not have a national association that monitors the profession. “Being recognized by the College of Family Physicians is a very important step in the acknowledgement of hypnotherapy as an effective modality and helps to raise the professional bar,” said Fawcett, who was sponsored by a local physician for her membership in the college.
To celebrate Small Business Week (Oct. 19-25), Community Futures North Okanagan is hosting several free training workshops on Tuesday, Oct. 21 and Wednesday, Oct. 22. The Tuesday session, which runs from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., will provide valuable information presented by an employment standards expert about employer requirements. A labour lawyer will discuss labour contracts, hiring and how to avoid litigation. Finally, a human resources expert will outline necessary management tools, how to interview for success and employee retention strategies. The Wednesday session will be broken into two parts, the first (9:30-11:30 a.m.) covering online branding. It will cover the differences between digital marketing and social media marketing. It will also walk participants through the do’s and don’ts of social media and how it fits into your marketing plan. The second session (1-3 p.m.) discusses different ways employers can attract, engage and retain workers from a diverse range of sources. The workshops will be held at the Community Futures building (3105 33rd St). To register, contact Kari Erickson by e-mailing: karie@futuresbc. com, or by phoning 250-545-2215, ext. 200.

Thankful for the simple things
T
hanksgiving Day is upon us, a day to be grateful for the many gifts we have in life. But it is all relative, isn’t it? Would the Kurds fleeing for their lives into Turkey, carrying the clothes on their backs and their babies, feel thankful? Or would the Liberian mom holding her dying husband and nursing her Ebola-stricken children feel much Pat Black gratitude for her plight in life? We must be appreciative for all the good things in life even if there are few good things. We forget the simple things like breathing well, walking without a cane, talking to our friends and relatives and being glad we have friends and relatives. I like to think of clean sheets when I am feeling down and looking for simple, good things to be happy about. I wonder if those Kurdish refugees have ever had the opportunity to feel the absolute comfort of fresh, clean, cool, sheets or if they ever will. It sure makes me feel grateful for my place in life. And is there anyone in this blessed Okanagan feeling the sun
shining today and breathing in the cool, fresh-smelling air that doesn’t appreciate these gifts? Well if you don’t it is time to stop and look around you and feel the physical beauty and to know, compared to others, how infinitely lucky we are. Well, we are getting revved up for municipal elections with a host of new and old candidates all vying for the jobs of mayors and councillors with a large pool to choose from. I hope you will take the time to attend all-candidates meetings or just go meet the candidates yourself and ask them what their priorities are. I just want to say thank you to all the former mayors and councillors in the North Okanagan for their past years of service. In municipal politics you are damned if you do and damned if you don’t. There are those bean counters that wouldn’t spend a cent on anything that smells of art or culture and there are those who forget that for every new sidewalk or road we scream for, it potentially raises our taxes and we will have to come to the front if we want improvements. It is hard for any council to walk a fine line between the various factions. One thing that really bothers me is to hear so many complaints about a lack of communication with council and citi-

Throughout October, salons across B.C. will participate in Streak for Cancer. For a $10 donation to the Canadian Cancer Society, clients at participating salons can get a pink hair streak to show their support for women facing breast cancer. “This is a fun, simple way for people to show their support during Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” said Elisheva Benjamin, with the society. In Vernon, Knotty Nellys is participating in the fundraiser during October. “We’ve definitely come a long way. In 1986, breast cancer patients had a 53 per cent chance of survival,” said Benjamin. ‘Thanks to significant investment in breast cancer research the survival rate is now 88 per cent − that’s a 35 per cent increase in only 26 years. Wouldn’t it be amazing if that survival rate was 100 per cent?” One of the ways the Canadian Cancer Society is
“This is a fun way to show their support.” — Elisheva Benjamin
working to increase the cancer survival rates for all cancers is by educating the public on prevention. There are many lifestyle changes that women can make to help reduce their breast cancer risks, including booking regular mammograms and choosing to live a healthy, active lifestyle. “When breast cancer is caught early, the chances of successful treatment are better,” said Benjamin, “And regular mammograms are the most reliable early detection tool. Another way to prevent breast cancer, is to reduce your risks by not smoking, maintaining a healthy body weight and making sure you eat well and stay active.” For more information, go to www.cancer.ca.

Veteran tribute considered
Blood Moon
richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Enderby wants to honour the men and women who served on behalf of Canada during conflict. The city is considering naming a portion of Mill Avenue as Veterans Way although the official name would remain Mill. “We want to honour our veterans year-round,” said Mayor Howie Cyr. Discussions about the proposal will be held
with the Royal Canadian Legion. “I think our veterans would be honoured to have this bestowed on them,” said Cyr, adding that the city is moving ahead with capital upgrades to the road. “It will be a nice street with sidewalks.” Because Mill Avenue would remain the official name, maps would not have to be adjusted. “It doesn’t impact businesses with a change in addresses,” said Cyr.

Pot rules raise concern richard rolke Morning Star Staff
A Spallumcheen politician isn’t convinced medical marijuana production should move ahead. Coun. Rachael Ganson was the lone opponent when council adopted a bylaw that permits medical marijuana production facilities in agricultural and industrial zones. “There are too many unanswered questions,” she told her colleagues Monday. “They should not be allowed in
any areas where there are residences. They will bring additional cost — ie. police and fire.” However, the majority of council agreed with establishing a permitted land use for medical marijuana production, which is allowed under federal regulations. “We discussed it and we discussed where we wanted it to go,” said Coun. Andrew Casson. “I’m not a huge fan of the whole thing but we have a responsibility to move ahead.”

Capturing the classics Cara Brady Morning Star Staff
Gateby residents and Day Break clients recalled some of their favourite film classics for their calendar project. They came up with a long list which was cut down to 12 and planned the costumes for photo shoots with local artographer Dave Dandell, who filled in the background and props for the calendar pages. “This was absolutely fun, getting all dressed up in the costumes. It was very nice. I never thought I would do anything like this but I like it,” said Gloria Szadiak, who was in the Christmas photo. Dandell, a former Calgary Sun (then the Albertan) photographer and computer store owner in Vernon, is getting in the spirit of the calendar, using all local props and backgrounds to complete the photos. “I couldn’t find a white horse for the Lone Ranger picture online so I decided to find a local one. I had to hike two miles to get the background for that photo. Some of the pictures are quite a challenge but everyone is doing a great job,” said Dandell, who has also shot a music video for Andi Starr in L.A. Recreation therapist Marijon Schindel said proceeds from the calendar will help build raised garden beds next summer. “This has been a really cooperative project for everyone and we’re all looking forward to seeing the finished calendar,” she said. “We thank everyone who helped us with everything.” The raised bed garden will be accessible to about

Savour every moment
O
ur role models and messages come in many ways to us and I am always thankful for their influence in my life. This past week I had the pleasure of having lunch with Tamara Cinnamon, who is a person I truly admire for her many attributes. In particular is the way that Tamara embraces life and really is a model for living work-life balance. Hard work is something she is Michele Blais truly comfortable with as a very successful business person, and she also always takes the time to have fun, learn, give back to her community and be with her loved ones. Being smart, with common sense and organized help. Whether it is time with her large family, friends, enjoying paddle boarding, skiing, water sports, her car collection, reading, hiking, her dogs, and on it goes and at the same time she balances growing her business, mentoring others, community involvement. She is also a great one to share new ideas with and bounce around possibilities. My brother Paul is like this as well. He works, he travels, he embraces living in Toronto, he cycles, reads three books a week, collects vintage stuff, spends time with family and friends, and is the glue in
The Way I see IT
my family. He says yes more than no and is very curious. He is a great role model for us. I lost my way with work-life balance when I got into sales, unfortunately for me work-life balance wasn’t my mantra then, it was work, work, work. I am glad I had the opportunity to work with Tamara, who helped me to recapture that. My world did not come crashing down, in fact it was better. And now it is certainly so as I manage my new work within a shorter schedule, with evenings and weekends free. I am back to more recreation and community volunteering both of which I missed and very importantly, time with family and friends. I am saying yes more often and it is one of my favourite words. What I know for sure is by believing that work was so important I lost out a great deal, time with my sons, time with my darling, with my friends, important opportunities were lost while I buried my head in my keyboard. My clients were fantastic and would have still had great service with my having more work-life balance. Facebook has become for me a great place for quotes and this one was on a high school friend’s post, “You will never have this day again with your children; tomorrow they will be a little older than they were today. This day is a gift. Just breathe, notice. Study their faces and little feet. Pay attention. Relish the charms of the present. Enjoy today. It will be over
before you know it.” Lovely. She had recommended it for young parents. I read it again and thought if I substitute my darling for my children and big feet for little feet it could be very meaningful for us as a couple. Take a few words out, new ones in and it works for family and is timely for this Thanksgiving weekend often shared with family, and friends who are as important as family. Before you dive into that delicious feast this weekend, take time to give thanks. Savour the tastes and presentation and the fact that someone or many have worked for hours to prepare this lovely meal for you. Please don’t devour it in minutes, eat slowly, just breathe, notice the taste, colours, smells, textures, sounds of the familiar and perhaps new voices and gastronomic satisfaction. Ask all for what they are thankful. Count your blessings everyday, some call it a gratitude journal, others prayer. Pay attention to the folks around you. The children, be patient and listen to their stories and answer their abundance of curious questions, play with them. I saw something recently that said love for a child is spelled T-I-M-E. This works for many ages. Relish the charms of the present. Enjoy today. It will be over before you know it. And if you didn’t cook, do the dishes! Thanks for reading.

Latin jazz-flamenco guitarist servantes bring his quartet to the Vernon Performing arts Centre to open the 61st season of the north okanagan Community Concert association. ing his passion for his music of choice. As Servantes, he has since played for former Gov. Gen. Michaëlle Jean and opened for jazz icon Wynton Marsalis at the Ottawa International Jazz festival. In November, NOCCA welcomes les Violons du Roy, an internationally recognized chamber orchestra from Montreal. The Joe Trio takes the stage in March, with some possibly irreverent classics for strings, and in April, The Bergmann Piano Duo will provide music from Bach to their own jazz compositions. NOCCA closes its season in May with the glorious voices of Elektra, a women’s choir from Vancouver, which returns in timely fashion the weekend after B.C.’s Chorfest celebrations take place in Vernon. “NOCCA is also sponsoring a showcase
of North Okanagan youth talent Feb. 1 to provide the opportunity for young classically trained musicians to perform at the Performing Arts Centre,” said Maynes. Season ticket subscriptions for the full concert series are still available and can also be used to enjoy concerts put on by both the Kelowna and Penticton community concert associations. “Technically, you may attend 14 concerts for the price of five,” said Maynes. Servantes is at the Performing Arts Centre, Thursday at 7:30 p.m. Single tickets are $35 for adults, $17.50 for students under 18 and $5 for eyeGo students. A NOCCA season ticket is $100 for all five concerts or $50 for those under 18. Tickets are available from the Ticket Seller box office at the centre, or call 250-549-7469.

After last year’s diamond anniversary, the North Okanagan Community Concert Association opens its 61st season with a kaleidoscope of sound. The NOCCA is once again presenting a full season of five concerts at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre that features a colourful array of music from a flamencoLatin-jazz guitarist to a renowned 40-voice women’s choir. “It is going to be a busy season, full of energy and variety and one not to be missed,” said NOCCA president Paul Maynes. The season opens Thursday with Servantes, featuring the Latin-infused jazz and flamenco guitarist and his quartet out of Quebec. At 35, Gatineau-based artist Servantes, born Patrice Servant, has been playing the guitar since the age of six and describes his music as ever changing and growing. “As time goes on and humans evolve, new possibilities come to a musician’s ears, creating new sounds, new mixes, new languages. Music is the sound of our culture, our soul, our history,” he said. As a student at the Conservatoire de Musique du Québec, Servant won diplomas in classical guitar interpretation and chamber music and also studied percussion, composing, harmony, counterpoint, writing and music editing, as well as theory and solfege. After completing two master’s degrees in music and giving hundreds of performances with various projects, Servants studied Latin rhythms in Peru and flamenco in Spain. When he returned, his musician friends nicknamed him “Servantes,” reflect-
Enderby arts council
twyla exner’s Thing 4 is made from entwined telephone wire. her exhibition, System and Things, which is comprised of drawings and sculptures that use discarded telephone wires as both material and conceptual underpinning. Exner says her work is a criticism of consumer culture based on her exploration of emotional
and material impact of electronic technology on individual awareness and experience. Lazuline features Shuswap artists Lisa Figueroa, Linda Franklin, and Tracey Kutschker, who for the past five years have collaborated to explore their love of nature and the familiar landscapes of home. Throughout the process, they’ve each discovered that the landscape embraces them, whether it be the vision of Mt. Ida revealing herself after a turn on the Trans Canada Highway, or the smell of fir trees upon arriving home from work in the downtown core of Salmon Arm. “The concept of exploring the same scene through three
diverse styles has evolved from a desire to share creative processes, to searching for their visceral purpose, their raison d’être,” reads a release from the gallery. “Abandoning the safety and isolation of individual studios, they were challenged to coalesce their artistic visions by using a triptych format, and have maintained their specific style while communicating their own version of place.” Lazuline’s canvases combine to depict landscapes untouched by urbanization, destruction and neglect. Memory and idealism subtly enter into a composition, telling the viewer that what we remember is sometimes more important than what is real.
Two Vernon scribes are about to share words with their Enderby neighbours – all in the name of poetry. Presented by the Enderby and District Arts Council, award winning author and poet Laisha Rosnau and poet Michelle Doege will read from their recent works and talk about the writing process and paths to publishing, Friday at the Enderby Drill Hall. A new resident of the Okanagan, poet, writer and educator Doege recently left full-time teaching in London, Ont. to move to Vernon with her partner and commit herself to full-time writing. “(I am looking) forward to nurturing and participating in the already thriving literary and arts community here,” she said. Michelle Doege As an educator, Doege has taught writing, literature and gender and diversity studies at colleges in both her native U.S. and Canada. Currently enrolled in a master’s program at Augsburg College in Minneapolis, Minn., Doege is working on a series of poems about her great love of wood, and lumber, and building, and fineworking; the ancient connection to the land in her Germanic and Celtic roots; and the difficulty in now facing the source of that wood and lumber – on logging trucks or driving through or flying over clear-cut forests in B.C. Many of her poems are grounded in nature, women’s stories, consumption and consumerism, and the deep celebration of life and honouring of death. Doege’s writing has appeared in various humble publications in both the U.S. and Canada. This year has been a busy one for Rosnau, who has been giving readings around the country on the release of her third book of poetry, Pluck, launched in the spring. This latest collection takes on issues of sexuality, female vulnerability and parenthood with delicacy and intent. Rosnau often uses animal imagery to expose the primal innocence or ferocity of Laisha Rosnau human nature, both of which emerge particularly in rural settings. Pluck follows Rosnau’s other collections of poetry, Notes on Leaving, which won the Acorn-Plantos People’s Poetry Award, as well as Lousy Explorers. Her debut novel, The Sudden Weight of Snow, published in 2002 by McClelland and Stewart, was a national bestseller and an honourable mention for the Amazon/Books in Canada First Novel Award. Rosnau is working on a second novel and continues to live in Coldstream, where she and her family are resident caretakers of Bishop Wild Bird Sanctuary. In honour of National Novel Writing Month, Rosnau will also be at the Caetani Cultural Centre in November for a month-long weekend series on how to write a novel. (For information or to register, visit www.caetaniculturalcentre.org.) Admission to Friday’s reading at the Enderby Drill Hall (Highway 97A south) is by donation. It starts at 7 p.m. and refreshments will be available. For more information, call (250) 838-0626.

Gone Girl is one twisted sister
Gone Girl
Good Will Hunting and Daredevil, to name just a few. TAYLOR: Daredevil?! That’s hilarious. See the girl before she’s gone. – Howe gives Gone Girl 4.5 board games out of 5. – Taylor gives it 5 champagne bottles out of 5. The film is currently playing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.
N
ick Dunne (Ben Affleck) came home to find his living room in shambles and his wife Amy (Rosamund Pike) missing. It isn’t long before her missing person’s case becomes a media circus and Nick becomes a suspect in her murder. We say, “Gone Girl is easily one of the most interesting movies of the year.” TAYLOR: The first rule of Gone Girl is, you don’t talk about Gone Girl. Although this is true, because GG is a tale of twists and turns and to discuss them would ruin the massive surprises you have in store, it does make reviewing the film difficult. Director David Fincher (Fight Club, The Social Network) has given us yet another movie that plays with our heads and does so with a studied social commentary. Online chatter about the movie has people asking: “What’s the deal with Gone Girl?” And this is exactly the film’s strength. First you’re going to ask it, then you’re going to ask it again, louder. Then you’re going to shout (hopefully in your head), “Holy moly! What is with these people?” This is what I loved about Gone Girl. Although I

loved everything else about it too. HOWE: It helps if you have a strong script, dialogue and acting ability in a movie. And Gone Girl has truckloads of the stuff. What I really liked about it was that it really messed with my head: One minute I’m thinking, “no he didn’t do it,” then the next I’m like, “yes he did,” then back to, “no he didn’t.” TAYLOR: I agree. Even that tall glass of tepid tap water Ben Affleck was effective,
but to be fair, he does play a rather taciturn fellow. I did like the reality based feel of the dialogue; no need to suspend your disbelief here. Everything seems very real, at times the reality of the story is being crammed down your throat. This too is one of the more interesting aspects of the story. At first I thought the film, in its entirety, was going to be a trial movie where the truth was placed second to a perceived truth. But we don’t get to trial. Things get crazy Ken Smedley presents THE
instead. HOWE: The acting from the lead roles of Pike and Affleck all the way down to the cat were great, and seeing that I’m not a huge fan of Pike that says a lot. I think that I can safely say this is the first time that I have seen her in a role that is of a serious nature and that she can actually act. On the other hand we have Affleck, who always looks smug on the screen. He has talent as we have seen in his past movies, Argo,

The Historic O’Keefe Ranch is reprising its HAUNTED HALLOWEEN CORN MAZE in October this year with an addition to its event structure. This year, we will be running the Maze as a themed theatrical production under the direction of Matt Brown. In 2013, this fundraising event hosted thousands of patrons. We are projecting to double the number of patrons in 2014 by adding an additional maze and extra event nights (Oct 22, 23, 24, 25, 28, 29, 30). We will be assigning several main characters and supporting roles as well as background work. Each role will consist of character work and development. No previous acting experience is required and all submissions will be welcomed. If interested, please forward a headshot and acting resume (if you have one, though not necessary) to: okeefehaunted@gmail.com

It connects all the isolated pockets of amazing art action and activity that you have to know so-and-so, or be part of such-and-such group to have access to or knowledge of.” Brennan, who has never been far away from ways of raising awareness about art in the Okanagan, says it wasn’t until she had a conversation with fellow Lake Country artist Wanda Lock that she was galvanized into action to create a site for artists by artists. “Wanda was telling me about how a friend of her’s in West Kelowna had a big farm and had been hosting artist residencies there over the summer. I was astounded, first of all, that I hadn’t heard anything about it before this. And second, that there was no place where others could have heard about this either,” said Brennan, who began writing what would be become the Okanagan Art Review the very next day. The public can now see the results of her and other artists’ work at okanaganartreview. com, and also sign up for e-mail updates from the site.

PATIO & DECK COVERS Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder YOU HAVE THE POINTS, SO BID GAME All top bridge players are good at math. But a lot of the sums should not be beyond anyone. Look at today’s South hand. Partner opens one club, East passes, South responds one spade, West intervenes with two hearts, North passes, and East passes. What should South do now? At the table, South, someone who has been successful in his career, passed out two hearts. What was he thinking? As soon as North opened one club, South should have said to himself, “I have 14 points; we are bidding at least game.” South should have made a takeout double. North
would have bid two spades, showing three-card support. (With four spades, he would have raised to two spades on round two.) Then South would have jumped to four spades. How should South plan the play in four spades after West leads the club queen? One other point in the auction: East should not have passed over two hearts with four trumps and a void. He should have bid (three or) four hearts. South is faced with losers in each suit. But he will survive just as long as he plays low from the dummy at trick one. Suppose East ruffs (it is stronger defense to discard) and shifts to a heart. (South won’t misguess that suit if
left to himself.) West wins and gives his partner another ruff -- again, declarer must play a low club from the dummy. Say East exits with a heart to dummy’s king. Declarer draws trumps, cashes his club king, crosses to dummy with a diamond, and discards his diamond loser on the club ace to get home.

C HECK I T O UT AT B OOKLAND THE BLOOD OF OLYMPUS
Book 5 of The Heroes of Olympus series.
Though the Greek and Roman crew members of the Argo II have made progress in their many quests, they still seem no closer to defeating the earth mother, Gaea. Her giants have risen - all of them - and they’re stronger than ever. They must be stopped before the Feast of Spes, when Gaea plans to have two demigods sacrificed in Athens. She needs their blood - the blood of Olympus - in order to wake.

Points add up for distracted driving in B.C. tom fletcher Black Press
Talking on your handheld phone or fiddling with a music player while driving will cost you three penalty points in addition to a $167 fine effective Oct. 20. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton announced the additional penalty points Wednesday, making it the same as the penalty for texting and driving. Penalty points are also added for infractions such as watching a video or programming a phone’s GPS sys- Suzanne Anton tem. Anton said the B.C. government is also reviewing its fines and could increase them, but not to the $1,000 fine Ontario drivers face for a first offence of distracted driving. “I think a $1,000 fine is rather high,” said Anton. Penalty points remain on a driving record for five years, and result in a $175 increase in insurance as soon as they exceed three points. Fines and points for two distracted driving tickets in a year add up to at least $634. At nine points, the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles considers licence suspension. Anton said there were 51,000 tickets issued last year for distracted driving of all kinds. “Ticket volumes show us that more drivers are ticketed for talking on an electronic device than for texting and driving, and so that is where we decided to start with the new penalty points,” said Anton. Distracted driving is the second biggest cause of fatal vehicle accidents, with an average 88 people killed per year from 2009 to 2013. That compares to 105 deaths attributed to speeding and 86 due to alcohol or drug impairment. Police can also issue tickets for driving without due care and attention to any driver who is noticeably distracted or inattentive and increasing risk to others.
