The investigation into a fatal motor vehicle accident continues in downtown Vernon. A Kelowna woman in her 30s died at the scene after her Pontiac car collided with a Chevrolet van at 30th Avenue and 32nd Street at about 1:15 a.m. Thursday. “The driver of the van is currently under investigation for impaired driving,” said Gord Molendyk, Vernon RCMP spokesperson. A Vernon woman in her 30s, who was a passenger in the car, was first taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital with serious injuries and then transferred to Kelowna General Hospital. The van was reported to be travelling eastbound on 30th Avenue when it drove through a red light at 32nd Street and struck the car’s driver’s door. The driver of the van, a 37-yearold Vernon woman, was held for court Thursday to answer to charges of impaired driving causing death and impaired driving causing bodily harm.

MP recounts Parliament shootout RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Colin Mayes walked into the Conservative caucus room Wednesday not realizing that within minutes, a dramatic chapter in Canadian history would unfold. The weekly gathering of government MPs had just started and Prime Minister Stephen Harper was addressing the crowd when a series of gunshots were heard just outside of the room at 9:55 a.m. “I was at the back of the room. What was happening was on the other side of the wall,” said Mayes, OkanaganColin Mayes Shuswap MP. “Most of us stood up because the first reaction is to get away from danger. We looked at where we should go.” Mayes wouldn’t get into specific details as to what occurred inside the caucus room, but says he and other MPs turned to their colleagues with law enforcement and military experience. “They are trained to react and they took charge. They organized and knew the safest place to be and we all listened to them,” he said. Harper was immediately removed from the caucus room and taken to a safe location. “For all of us, our first reaction was to surround him and protect him,” said Mayes, who was locked down in the caucus room

A photo taken in the Reading Room inside the House of Commons in Ottawa shows doors barricaded with furniture after gunfire Wednesday. for seven hours. “They (security) kept us briefed but the worst time was when the shots stopped. The concern was someone would be at the door that was not friendly. But the RCMP came to the door which was a relief.” At this point, Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers had shot an armed individual just outside of the caucus rooms.

“He is a hero and was the right man for the job,” said Mayes. The entire incident began just a few minutes earlier when an individual approached the honour guard at the National War Memorial and shot Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, a 24-year-old reservist in the Canadian Forces. Cirillo died from his injuries. On Thursday morning, MPs and parlia-

mentary staff gathered at the War Memorial to pay tribute to Cirillo. It’s still not determined if the shooter was acting alone or is connected to radical movements in the Middle East, but Mayes insists Wednesday’s tragedy will not deter the federal government from taking action against terrorism. “The worst thing about fear is fear alone and we won’t go into that mode. We will continue to stand for those who are oppressed,” he said, adding, though, that he is concerned that some Canadians will use the incident as an opportunity to embrace intolerance. “Canada is made up of different nationalities and faith groups and it has shown respect for all and it’s important to remember those values. You will always get people in society who can be radicalized or have some determination against the government.” He admits Parliament Hill security must be considered in light of the violence. “They have always been open and public facilities and they (authorities) are reviewing the things that went right and the things that need to be improved. There may be a compromise on how the government grounds are accessed.” On Thursday morning, Mayes was preparing to be back in the House. “We will continue with business. We will make a statement by continuing on with business here,” he said. “The government and the opposition will continue to serve Canadians.”

Kelowna International Airport heightened security after the Parliament Hill attack and two soldiers were struck by a vehicle in Quebec Monday. “We will continue to monitor activity in the terminal building and YLW facilities,” said Jenelle Hynes, Kelowna International Airport community relations manager. “There will also be enhanced security patrols and increased RCMP presence at YLW.” A former member of Parliament insists security must be reviewed after Wednesday’s shootings. “It’s a different world and we need tighter security. People will have to put up with that,”

said Darrel Stinson, who was Okanagan-Shuswap MP from 1993 to 2006. “It was only a matter of time before something like this would happen.” Stinson has talked to some of his former Conservative colleagues who were on Parliament Hill when the shooting started. “They said it was nerve-wracking and just like something out of a show. They could hear the gunshots,” he said. Dickie admits he is cautious about any changes in security that may proceed in Ottawa. “Although this is a horrible situation, I do hope that our Parliament

Enderby forum features city, district candidates Morning Star Staff

There’s one opportunity to hear from the candidates seeking a seat at Enderby city hall and the Regional

District of North Okanagan office. There will be an all-candidates forum Nov. 4 at 7 p.m. at the Enderby Seniors

Complex for Enderby mayor, Enderby councillor and rural Enderby (Area F) director. “This is great opportunity to learn about

Help Prevent Heart Attacks with Vitamin C and Lysine Powder W. Gifford-Jones, MD

hy is heart attack the number one killer in this country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack. Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling reported twenty-five years ago it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack. Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.

I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent. But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus™ is available at health food stores and specialty pharmacies. The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop mixed with water or juice with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day. This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. That is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors. As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine! I turned 90 this year.

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries. Sixteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal. I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking cholesterol lowering drugs (CLD’s). I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications.

Annette Sharkey, with the Social Planning Council, discusses the new website, welcomevernon.ca. The initiative has been launched in conjunction with the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce.

Welcome mat rolled out richard rolke

Morning Star Staff

Vernon is opening itself up to the world. A new website — welcomevernon.ca — has been launched as a resource for employers and new immigrants and their families. “This is only the first step to create a more welcoming community for new immigrants,” said Dan Rogers, Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce executive director. An information package has also been created. “We will distribute this information to our members and the broader business community,” said Rogers. The website is based on a live, work and play theme and it features a promotional video that has been translated into a variety of languages including Punjabi, Chinese, Spanish and English. Window decals can also be placed in windows so businesses can show they welcome new immigrants, and banners have been installed at strategic locations.

The goal of the program is to address a skills shortage in Vernon and to grow the economy, “Immigrants bring a number of skills, investment and entrepreneurial spirit,” said Annette Sharkey, Social Planning Council executive director. Sharkey also points out that immigrants add to the cultural diversity of the community, including new restaurants. “We can reach out to the world and experience that right here in Vernon,” she said. While some cultural barriers exist in the North Okanagan, Sharkey is confident the website and the promotional materials will creative a positive atmosphere. “We don’t have large populations of certain cultures so it’s even more important for Vernon to be welcoming,” she said. “Many investors come to Vernon as a tourist first and they fall in love with the community. Then they bring dollars and skills.”

The city’s biomass boiler Tate Bengston has about 100 kilowatts of available capacity that could possibly be sold. “Neighbouring industrial properties would typically use around 50 kilowatts each, which could be viable,” said Tate Bengston, chief executive officer, in a memo to council. The market analysis will identify potential customers, and a business case could be the next step. “The business case will need to determine the cost-benefit for extending the pipes in terms of risk, price points and anticipated payback period,” said Bengston. Any revenue from the sale of energy would go into city coffers. The biomass energy system currently heats the city’s public works shop,. sewer treatment facility, dog pound and several support buildings. “Biomass energy heating systems have high thermal efficiency, low particulate emissions and carbon neutral energy output,” said Bengston.

While the system could be initially expanded to nearby businesses, Cyr has a long-term vision. “I would like to see us eventually heat A.L. Fortune Secondary,” he said.

Back on the job

ell, I’m back. Nine months away on paternity leave and not much has changed in The Morning Star newsroom since I returned. Sports editor Kevin Mitchell is still suffering from a perpetual head cold, our ongoing battle over control of the thermostat rages on – half the room thinks it’s too cold, the other half, too hot – and at least one person at the Wednesday morning editorial meeting mimics managing editor Glenn Mitchell’s go-to pep talk: “Good newsy paper.” I’ve got a new Mac computer (well, new to me) and my desk is adorned with a few more toy farm tractors, thoughtfully placed Graeme Corbett there by my colleagues to remind me of my alternate life on The Omstead Farm. Believe it or not, I did have a handful of people come up to me during my hiatus asking if I was still at the paper (it’s nice to be missed), and said they looked forward to once again reading about my tribulations as a newbie farmer (and father) upon my return. Before I get into that, I first need to address a point of public safety, one that, for whatever reason, really gets my goat (I actually own sheep, but that’s beside the point). I live out in Spallumcheen, on the north side of Armstrong, and more often than not, there has been a thick blanket of morning fog on the valley bottom along Highway 97A when I commute to Vernon. It can be especially bad from Armstrong right through to Swan Lake. The number of people who don’t think to turn their headlights on while driving in this murk is alarming to me. Yes, most modern vehicles have automatic daytime driving lights, which allows oncoming traffic to see you. Great, but what about the people behind you? At the very least, you should have your tail lights on because the visibility is usually very poor. It’s a simple common courtesy just to let people know you’re there, and to potentially

At RAndoM

avoid a rear-end collision. And before I launch into my diatribe on slow drivers in the passing lane disrupting the flow of traffic, I will switch back to family and farm life. Those 35 weeks off were a godsend, but to call it time off would be a bit of a misnomer. I have never worked so hard in my life. Among other things, we built half a mile of post-and-page-wire fencing, upgraded our windows, planted a bunch of lavender, worked a full summer of farmers’ markets (three a week, plus other craft fairs), and our latest project is a woodchip running track around our big field. Oh, and we’re raising a very busy toddler on top of that. Everything I can say about being a father is cliche, but it’s hard not to gush about my notso-little guy, who turns one early next month. Whether it’s watching him vibrate in exhilaration as we feed apples to the neighbour’s horses, or listening to his devilish cackle as he crawls headfirst at our cat like a battering ram, he is a joy to be around. I never fully comprehended once I returned to work just how little I would see my son. I get him for two hours in the morning, and for another hour-and-a-half when I get home. It’s better than nothing, and it has really made me appreciate the time I had with him over the past months. I’m just fortunate it worked out for our situation that I was able to take paternity because I am sure I am an exception in this. Because of it, I was able to see some of Narayan’s major milestones. I was there when he learned to crawl, I was in the room when he took his first real steps, and I watched in amazement as he reprogrammed our voicemail message after just one minute of pushing random buttons on the phone. I really feel for fathers who, for whatever reason, aren’t able to be around their children. Whether they’re no longer with their partner, or are away for extended periods for shift work, they’re missing out on something special. Their sons and daughters are missing out too.

There’s no question that Wednesday was like no other day in Canadian history. Images abound of passersby trying to save the life of a solider shot at the National War Memorial in Ottawa and MPs barricading themselves in rooms after hearing gunfire in the Parliament buildings. The video of the shootout in the Hall of Honour has been widely circulated. Canada’s very symbol of our democracy ground to a halt as police tried to secure the House of Commons and identify any potential suspects. Obviously the situation could have been far worse given the proximity of the prime minister and other senior-level politicians to the shooting, but Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers remained calm and heroically brought the situation to an end. At the War Memorial, the loss of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo is tragic and a stark reminder of the risk members of the military take on our behalf. Obviously there is a need to review security on Parliament Hill after an armed individual managed to walk through the country’s seat of power. The challenge will be, though, to ensure the protection of MPs and government workers while still allowing Canadians to visit a national treasure. The other issue that needs to be investigated further is whether the gunman was acting alone or was part of a more organized effort. There have been suggestions that he was radicalized, but even if that is proven to be the case, we must all remember that there are extreme elements in all faiths. The vast majority of all people, no matter their religion, are law-abiding and contribute fully to our country. Even as the shock over Wednesday’s shootings dominates headlines and the investigation continues, Canadians need to remember that we live on the greatest nation on Earth. We remain strong together and we can overcome these tragedies.

CITY HALL If I could change some things in this city, I would start at Vernon city hall. Ya ya, I know all of you folks out there that would say the cost to change would far outweigh any savings we would see but .... 1. Smaller buses would use less fuel. Less fuel, more economical, and perhaps fewer traffic jams in the downtown core at peak periods. 2. Stop sending fire trucks out every time an ambulance is called only to have them turn around and head back to the fire hall because they are not needed. Less fuel, more savings. 3. Pay firemen one rate when they are actually putting out fires and another when they are on call waiting at the fire hall. I’m sure you would find savings when you look at their salaries versus calls. 4. Put some money into the not so pretty arteries of this city. Update ancient (I’m not even calling it old anymore) infrastructure. It’s the stuff you can’t see that needs the most work. Spend less on road calming, road diets, pretty roundabouts and more on sidewalks, sewer and water lines. 5. Go back to the clear bag recycling.

Water plan lacks innovation

find the current master water plan presented to Vernon and district ratepayers to be very limited in scope and lacking innovative thought. The Regional District of North Okanagan and Interior Health Authority are telling you to borrow $70 million because the need is exigent, but what's really needed is time for a much more critical review of the actual situation. I can't understand why RDNO and their "experts" are so adamant about separation and large, single or dual treatment facilities as opposed to a more distributed approach. It appears that the existing treated water from the Duteau facility is actually pretty good most of the time. By removing chlorination and other disinfection from there, the water would be cheaper and could still be used for both agricultural and domestic purposes without significant changes to existing infrastructure or operations. The Duteau plant is more than what's needed but the point is, it's already there, in operation, and paid for (sort of). With minor system upgrades, a few simple, small-scale facilities could then be

Friday, October 24, 2014 - The Morning Star A9

installed to finish the treated water already available. The water would then be potable for introduction to your various domestic distribution systems. Primarily, these would be disinfection stations to provide a barrier and a residual to inactivate pathogens. Trihalomethane problems, if you really have any now, should actually go away due to reduced dosage and contact time. Industrial and agricultural users could easily filter and disinfect on-site if required; a lot already do. Put the people back to work that lost their jobs at the recycling depot and help the environment by not driving. Now that Christy Clark and her gang have implemented this new recycling (without any dialogue with the public), I’m waiting for her to raise the gas tax because we now have to drive to the recycling depot to drop off what we use to be able to leave curbside. 6. Find opportunities to work with developers on affordable housing and business leaders on creating jobs. Do we need more million or half-million-dollar homes carving up the hills? We need affordable homes and some jobs so that young people can afford to buy them. Oh boy, what if? Donna Lochhead SOCIETAL ISSUES The recent teachers’ strike has provided British Columbians with the opportunity to reflect on the kind of society we want to live in. Questions raised in that debate, such as why our exceedingly rich province has the worst teacher to student ratio and second worst per-student funding in Canada, lead

That still leaves the turbidity event problem. It seems to me that turbidity guidelines from the existing Duteau plant are exceeded for only a couple of short periods during each year, and these events generally fall outside times of heavy agricultural use. I think RDNO could deal with these events at an operational level by using a different, unaffected source and maybe drawing down the potable water stored in existing reservoirs. In other words, turn off the Duteau to further questions: Why do we have the highest health care premiums, the secondlowest arts funding, and a largely unstaffed provincial park system? The simple fact is that poorer provinces than ours provide far more affordable and better-supported services than B.C. does. While wealthy British Columbians, of whom there are many, may be able to opt out of our under-funded public services through private schools, private health care, and private hobbies, where does this leave middle and lower-income earners? For those of us whose values were formed in other parts of our country, where people still believe that we are our brother’s keeper and that basic rights are for all Canadians and not just for those who can afford them, no expanse of beauty, no amount of temperate weather, can make up for the shocking inequalities that have come to characterize our increasingly Americanized province. While the teachers’ strike may be over, the fundamental issues remain. As citizens we must investigate these issues in a more comprehensive manner and must press our political leaders for adequate responses — responses which

water available to domestic users until the event is over and the turbidity levels are again acceptable. If you do not actually use turbid water for drinking water then you are not technically violating IHA demands. This should allow RDNO at least a decade to develop a much more cost effective master water plan, and there’s no harm in asking IHA for a variance either. I know, I know - fire flows, etc. would be affected, but these are just excuses. Also note that treatment plants in a box are already available. A number of world-class companies are making some very good products and a lot of research is ongoing to make treatment more environmentally friendly. Please seriously consider other options and vote no in the upcoming referendum. IHA is not going to risk a public relations nightmare by immediately forcing you to spend the money anyway. Don't be swayed by RDNO scare tactics - your water is already safe. I was raised in Vernon and my siblings and 85-yearold mother still reside there. They tell me Vernon is becoming a very expensive place to live. Dana Mills should be remembered during the next provincial election. Andrea Harwood Jones

Authority was responding to a letter from the

township in regards to concerns about rising nitrate levels in the Steele Springs Water District source. Asked about alternative water sources for the Steele Springs users, IHA drinking water officer Janelle Kwan responded that connecting to a municipal supply system would be the best option. “This would provide users with a safe, sustainable, reliable supply of water,” wrote Kwan. “Interior Health would strongly advise the Steele Springs Water District to further investigate this option with the Township of Spallumcheen and City of Armstrong.” Other options, wrote Kwan, may include the investigation of local deeper wells in the surrounding area. Because it could take years for the aquifer quality to improve on its own, the waterworks district has suggested a deep well could be a short-term solution to ensure water supply for residents. The Steele Springs issue, as well as concerns with other utilities, was raised by Spallumcheen council at the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities conference. Coun. Todd York asked if Kwan’s letter had been forwarded to the Steele Springs executive. Chief administrative officer Corey Paiement assured York the letter had been sent.

Mayor Kevin Acton believes the village has open communications with residents, but many people don’t want to get involved. “We’ve advertised, talked to people on the street and held meetings but they are not generating a lot of interest,” he said.

Trial into fatal crash unfolds martha wickett Black Press

The first two witnesses in the trial of police officer Micah Chan both gave similar reports regarding the period leading up to a fatal crash in Salmon Arm’s industrial park on June 20, 2013. On that night, a white sedan driven by 21-year-old Courtney Eggen of Cherryville crashed into a parked dump truck, killing her. Shortly after, a police cruiser driven by Salmon Arm RCMP Const. Chan went off the road nearby, sliding backwards down an embankment. Its back bumper came to rest against a building across Auto Road from the Country Kitchen parking lot, where the dump truck was parked. Chan was charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle after the police Independent Investigations Office, a relatively new civilian-led body that conducts investigations into police-involved incidents that result in death or serious harm, investigated the incident. James Young, a 57-year-old CP Rail worker from Kamloops, had driven a 10-ton CP Rail truck to Gemm Diesel for servicing, and was waiting by the business at 5270 Auto Rd. SE for his boss. In his testimony in Provincial Court in Salmon Arm Monday, Young estimated he was there about 45 minutes to an hour, possibly more, between 10 p.m. and midnight when he heard a sound that caught his attention. Although he testified he had heard four or five vehicles pass by while he was waiting, and all appeared to be going fast – probably about 80 km/hr in the 60 km/hr zone, this particular car made an impression. “That’s what got my attention, the sound of that car,” he told defence lawyer Neville McDougall under cross-examination. “It was a high speed, an extreme high speed.” Reverting to miles

rather than kilometres, Young said he estimated the car was travelling at about 100 miles per hour. “Just extreme velocity.” He said the vehicle was flying and the next thing he heard was a ‘thunk’ as it hit the dump truck, lifting it. He thinks he remembers calling 911 as he walked towards the accident scene. Young estimated the time between when he heard the crash and then saw emergency lights reflecting on the trees down the road was about six to 10 seconds. He said the sound of the police vehicle approaching was different than the white car, slower. “The speed of the white vehicle was what stands out. The police vehicle – the sound wasn’t that fast.” Young testified he then heard squealing of tires and, when he first was able to see the police car, which was heading east on Auto Road, its back end was leading. “I think he was trying to stop, I don’t think he expected to come onto a horrific accident. I could hear him trying to get under control, trying to compensate.” He testified that he watched as the police car slid down the bank backwards. When Young was questioned by Crown counsel Allan Mandell, he testified that the police officer was looking over the embankment, holding a gun after he got out of the police car, pointing it towards the ground. Defence lawyer McDougall asked him which hand he was holding it in and he said left. McDougall asked if it could have been a police radio with an antenna. Young didn’t think so. “Maybe it was me using my imagination, but it looked like a gun to me.” Asked if he had seen another weapon on the officer’s right hip, he said no. The next witness was Barbara Lidstone, who testified she lives on a farm in the 3000

ALL DECOR block of Auto Road, where a picture window in her house looks out onto the road. Mandell established that her view of Auto Road is a long straight stretch, and she can see to the intersection at 40th Street. She said she thinks most people tend to travel over the 60 km/hr speed limit along the road. On the night of the accident, Lidstone testified it was close to midnight when she went to her window where she could see the police car as well as a whitecoloured vehicle. She estimated the police car was 600 metres behind the white car and agreed it was travelling at a slower speed. Lidstone testified that she was hesitant to contact the IIO investigators but she did so several days after the crash because of a post she’d read on Facebook. Neither the Crown nor the defence lawyer asked her to describe the post. McDougall questioned her about how she had initially reacted to what she’d read. She testified she had called it “bullshit.” McDougall then asked her if she thought there was any way the police officer could have caught up to the other vehicle by the time it got to 50th, and she replied, “No.” The final witness on Monday was Cpl. Luiz Sardinha, who was the officer in charge – but was just going off shift – at the time of the crash. He testified that as he was about to leave, he heard Const. Chan on the radio, saying a vehicle was taking off at speeds of 140 km/

hr southbound down the road. Sardinha said he had an idea this had happened at Five Corners, a problem four-way stop where Chan and another officer had been earlier – but he wasn’t sure where Chan or the other vehicle were when he spoke to him. “I asked him what did the person do, he said they had blown the stop sign.” Sardinha said he then told Chan to “shut it down.” He said that means to turn off the lights and pull over. “He acknowledged, 10-four.” Sardinha said he didn’t consider this a pursuit. “He said the vehicle was going away from him at 140 – going away from him. It wasn’t a pursuit.” Sardinha said he also told him to bring up the repeater so the information could be sent out to Armstrong and Enderby who might be able to stop the vehicle.

Asked how much time had passed between Sardinha saying ‘shut it down’ and Chan’s vehicle going off the road, Sardinha testified: “It was quick. I gave an estimate of 30 seconds. I know it was quick.” Sardinha said when Chan reported he’d gone off the road, he then said he’d seen the white car. “It had hit a dump truck and there was someone hanging out of the vehicle, partially ejected,” testified Sardinha. The trial was expected to continue through Thursday and then break off until Wednesday of next week when more courtroom time is available. Along with the two civilian witnesses and Sardinha, Crown prosecutor Mandell said he expects to call other police officers and expert witnesses. McDougall said he expects his part of the trial will take only a day.

Outbackjacks rounding up support Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

A place where horses and ponies find refuge from neglectful, abusive and harmful environments is in need of a little help of its own. Outbackjacks Horse Rescue recently moved to the outskirts of Falkland, from its original home in Princeton. The rescue centre, run by Gena Sandli and Dale Christie, is near max with 13 rescue horses, two of which are ponies, and two emergency stalls for the winter. Sandli started the venture about 10 years ago, in Delta at the time. “There was a need for it, that’s for sure,” said the former restaurant owner, who gave up everything to dedicate her time to

the horses. The cases she has seen vary greatly: from Mickey the Shetland pony who is grossly overweight, to Sparkles and Chase who were near death with their weight (or lack-of) and Rudy, an Arabian whose teeth are in such poor condition that he has to be fed mash daily. Despite some costly medication for Chase, he and Sparkles are packing on the pounds now and doing great. But not every rescue is so lucky. With tear-stained cheeks, Sandli explains that Rudy likely won’t survive the winter, due to her teeth and a very serious heart condition, therefore he has to be put down. “You love them

Gena Sandli and Dale Christie stand with Peaches, a horse with cancer whose tail had to be removed, among some of the other rescue horses at Outbackjacks Horse Rescue outside of Falkland. For more photos of the rescue animals visit www.vernonmorningstar.com whether they are here a day, 10 days or whatever.” Another tough story, with a better outcome, is Peaches. The former owner of the white mare was ordered to surrender her or put her down due to her condition. Her tail was literally rotting, full of gangrene with a giant tumour. Outbackjacks took Peaches in, and got her into the vet for surgery, where most of her tail was removed. “She could live a long time,” said Sandli, adding that she still even wags her tail, “like a little pitbull, it’s the cutest thing.” Peaches, who has been at Outbackjacks for about three months, has put on 200 lbs. “She’s my pride and joy, she’s such a sweetheart.” Sandli relates to Peaches as she too has had her own scare with cancer. “I got really sick.

I had a tumour in my breast,” said Sandli. “I had it removed but I had a good diagnosis.” Then there’s her son, who the rescue effort is named after. “When he was born he was really sick,” said Sandli of her now 12-year-old attending Falkland Elementary. The name stems from the fact that whenever Jack was ill, his mom would take him outdoors, into the country air outback and he would do so much better. Kamloops Large Animal Veterinary Clinic, and specifically Dr. Colin Mikkelsen, has been amazing. But there are still vet bills to pay. Plus there’s food, medication and building costs which are adding up. “Sometimes it’s tough, and it’s tough right now,” admits Sandli of their current financial situation. As a private nonprofit, Sandli accepts

donations of new and gently used items which she sells through her online thrift store: Outbackjacks Horse Rescue Thrift Store on facebook (she is hoping to find a storefront in Falkland soon). Meanwhile her new hometown has stepped right up to help. The Falkland Community Hall is hosting a coffeehouse fundraiser Saturday and have chosen Outbackjacks as the recipient. Tickets are $5 at the door for the open mic event or $10 for dinner, which starts at 6, and Sandli will be supplying. Then on Nov. 1, the hall is hosting a dinner and dance benefit with a roast beef dinner, silent auction table and music by Aaron Halliday. The event starts at 5:30 and tickets are $30, which are available at Briteland or call KC at 250-379-2252. “The benefit was a total surprise,” said

Sandli. “It’s the first time in 10 years that someone has done a benefit on our behalf.” OutbackJacks will also be at the Nov. 9 Christmas flea market in Falkland. Those looking for a horse, are also urged to consider adoption. There’s Jessie, a 14-year-old Egyptian Arab who needs some one-on-one, and Jellybean, a pony who was extremely abused and hates men but is coming around. Outbackjacks also accepts monthly horse sponsorship, anywhere between $20 and $100, which Sandli returns with the same amount gift certificate to her store. Anyone who would like to help with the rescue efforts can call 250-379-2400, email outbackjacks@telus.net or visit the Outbackjacks Horse Rescue facebook page.

The Armstrong Food Initiative Society recently wrapped up its final harvest of giving for the year. Produce sharing at the community garden averaged 265 pounds every Monday, with about 33 people accessing the produce. Food was also delivered to some seniors in the community as well as Abbeyfield House and Kindale. “We have a lot for which to be thankful, a beautiful valley that produces plentiful and varied crops, good people who are willing to share their bounty and people who enjoy and value good food,” said Jill de la Salle, with the society. The society thanks all of the growers who were willing to share their crops with others. “We would especially like to thank Ben and Margaret Crozier, Pilgrim’s Produce and Trent Weins for their regular and generous support of this program,” said de la Salle, also thankful for all the volunteers.

Dirt bikes rev up Armstrong

Normally home to four-legged creatures, Armstrong’s Agriplex at the IPE grounds will be taken over by two-wheeled machines. The Future West Canadian Arenacross Championships starts its new season today and Saturday at the Agriplex. “It’s indoor dirt bike racing at it’s best,” said Future West general manager Stu McQueen, on the organization’s website, www.arenacross.ca. Doors open each night at 6 p.m. and racing starts at 7 p.m. Armstrong is the first of four stops on the Canadian Arenacross Championship circuit. As a result of this weekend’s event, the dirt used for the championships is expected to remain in the Agriplex for the winter months to be used as indoor BMX bike track. The Armstrong-Spallumcheen Parks and Recreation Commission is expected to approve the bike track next week.

Bradbury bursts onto moto scene KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

Mitchell Bradbury is big on air time. In between scores of motocross race wins, he rides BMX and touches the sky in freestyle skiing at Silver Star Mountain Resort. The likeable 11-year-old has a bedroom overflowing with motocross trophies, most bigger than him, and his career is just getting started. “I’ve been riding on trails since I was four and this was my first year competing,” said Bradbury, a Grade 6 Vernon Christian School student. “I love winning trophies; I can’t wait to see what they’re like next year.” He was in Prince George last weekend to collect a handful of B.C. Motocross Association trophies and $1,000 in equipment and accessories after claiming the Rode Warrior of the year. He is competing tonight in the Canadian Arenacross Championships Round 1 extravaganza at the Armstrong IPE Grounds (equestrian centre). Mitchell rides in the 65cc and 85cc divisions, placing fourth in B.C. last fall. He also topped the four-stroke pit bike race in a field of 15, while having a blast in his first Arenacross in Vancouver. “I like that it was more technical, a lot tighter,” he said. “The jumps

Mitchell and his parents, Jeff and Tammie Bradbury, then took a family vacation every weekend, attending 44 races and racking up 20,000

kilometres on their truck. “It’s camping with entertainment and great family time,” said Neil, a former soccer player who owns Dream Easy Kitchens & Bedrooms. Added Mitchell: “My mom looks after the pit crew and she gets us food. I like her smoothies the best.” Mitchell, sponsored by Vernon Motorsports, rang up 39 firsts,

four seconds and a third to quality first out of B.C. for the Western Canada amateur nationals last July in Raymond, Alta. He was runnerup in the 65cc class in a group of 25-plus. He won the BCMA North and South titles well ahead of Thomas Kaiser of Williams Lake, earning 534 points in the north and 539 in

the south. “I crashed my first race (at westerns) and ended up fifth and I was second in the other two races. I hit a really big rut in the first race. I went into it and it was bigger than I thought and I tipped. I was calm, slowly passed some people, dropped the hammer and got fifth.” Mitchell, who has also raced in the 105cc open division, will attend pro camps to enhance his technical skills next year in California. He has qualified for the Grand Nationals next August in Walton, Ont. Motocross is a form of off-road motorcycle racing held on enclosed off-road circuits. The sport evolved from motorcycle trials competitions held in the United Kingdom. Round 2 of the Arenacross goes Saturday at the IPE Grounds. Future West Moto promoters cancelled a Cloverdale Halloween card and moved it to Armstrong. Family packs, which include two adult and two three kids tickets, are $45. Single tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for teens 12-18 and $5 for kids 8-12 years and available at the door or in advance at various outlets in the North Okanagan. There will be a dash for cash at halftime both nights. Racing starts at 7 p.m.

Vipers shorthanded after line brawl suspensions Morning Star Staff

It was a B.C. Hockey League game that was well in hand that got really out of hand. The Vernon Vipers were happy with their 7-4 win over the host West Kelowna Warriors Saturday night at Royal LePage Place, but they were on the losing side when it came to suspensions resulting from a late-game line brawl. Both Viper netminder Danny Todosychuk and forward Riley Brandt were each handed six games, while d-men Brandon Egli and Ryley Booth earned four and two games, respectively. For the Warriors, forwards Brett Mennear and Kade Kehoe each received fourgame suspensions, and d-man Kyle Marino will sit two. Vernon head coach Mark Ferner and West Kelowna bench boss Rylan Ferster will each

sit a game as well. The suspensions were based on guidelines in the Junior A Supplement, and both clubs are appealing the decision. The matter was still in front of a BCHL appeals committee at The Morning Star’s Thursday afternoon press deadline. “It’s disappointing; six seconds left and we’re shorthanded and we had guys out there who weren’t looking to start anything,” said Ferner. “We’re going to try to change what’s been handed down, but it might be tough.” Vernon, fourth in the Interior at 6-4-01, has been forced to call up four players, including a goalie, for tonight’s tilt against the third-place Merritt Centennials (7-4) at Kal Tire Place. The Snakes visit the first-place Penticton Vees (10-1) Saturday at the South

Okanagan Events Centre. “With the suspension, it really puts us shorthanded and we’re going to have to find some bodies to come up and play for us.” The suspensions came at a time when the Vipers were starting to string together some solid performances. Ferner said it will be up to his players to keep the momentum going. “It’s a good opportunity for some young kids,” he said. “That’s important and they need to take advantage of it. “The camaraderie is getting good. It’s just a matter of letting them grow.” n Ferner is dealing with a distraction on another front as Cory Clouston, head coach of the WHL Prince Albert Raiders, has alleged that Ferner told forward Colton McCarthy to leave the Raiders in order to join the Vipers.

8am-5pm

October 25

“If that happens in our league, it’s tampering,” Clouston told PA Now’s Jeff D’Andrea. McCarthy has been suspended by the Raiders and has since returned home to Salmon Arm. Ferner denied any wrongdoing, adding he approached Raiders’ GM Bruno Campese about McCarthy only after he had left the team. “I assured Bruno that I didn’t speak with the boy,” said Ferner. “There’s a lot of misunderstanding with what happened.” The BCHL is not investigating the matter.

A goal before the ice clean changed the momentum in the North Okanagan Knights’ favour Sunday afternoon at Civic Arena. It was the first of

five unanswered goals by the Knights, who skated away with a 6-4 North Okanagan Bantam Super Hockey League win over the Interior Savings Just Orange. Down 4-1, Korden

with his second unassisted goal and eventual winner at 4:57 of the third, and an unassisted marker by Carter Hittinger for insurance at 10:27, capped the comeback. Seb Wenger, scoring in the first, and goals three minutes apart from Callum Leong, Reece Hawthorne and Chase Batchelor in the second, staked Just Orange to the threegoal cushion. Wyatt Fowler overcame a shaky start to make several highlight reel saves for the Knights. Bellmann had a solid game in goal for Interior Savings, who started the regular season Friday night with a 4-3 win over the DCT Chambers Trucking Coyotes at the Civic. Batchelor’s second of the game, with five minutes to go in the third, set up nicely by Brogan Houston, was the winner for the

Faith Seehaver (left) of the Lumby Stars goes up against Terry Johnson of the Vernon Red Devils in Atom hockey play Saturday at Civic Arena. Orangemen, who held off a late truckers’ rally. D-man Dakota Becker went endto-end in the second period before making a neat move on Coyotes’ netminder Craig Garnett and depositing the puck into the net. Samuel White scored a fortuitous goal for Interior Savings. His shot was originally stopped by the blocker of Coyotes’ goalie Isaac Waldemaras, but the puck went straight up in the air, unseen by the big netminder, and landed behind him in the goal. Sam Knox went the distance and played a great game to pick up the win, and, along with Becker, gave the game puck to his dad, Roger, who was celebrating his 51st birthday. Landen Harison had two goals for the Coyotes, Jaden Stone scored the other and Colton Schaper-Kotter chipped in two helpers.

Coyotes rebound

The Five Star Awards crew recorded its first win Sunday at Kal Tire Place, doubling DCT Chambers 6-3 Sunday at Kal Tire Place. Five Star’s Reid Lawrence, assisted by d-man Tanner FranjeGilbert and Chapperon Chillihitzia, and DCT’s Taryn Best swapped

first-period goals. D-man Elias Wery, on a great solo rush, put Five Star up a goal after two periods. The Coyotes came out howling in the third period, netting unanswered goals from Lawrence, unassisted, d-man Elias Wery, assisted by Lawrence, d-man Jadon Foster, unassisted, and FranjeGilbert, assisted by Keenon Jaberg and Talon Williams. DCT Chambers replied with a pair of late goals from Kayden Doughty, assisted by Best, and a beauty roof job by Zachary Laranjo, unassisted. Nicholas Maglio and Jordan Foster shared the victory. Craig Garnett and Isaac Waldemaras were in net for the truckers. The Lumby Tirecraft Female Bantam Lakers lost a hard-fought game, falling 3-1 to Clearwater on Sunday. Strong defence was provided by Emily Romailler and Vanessa Yaremcio. Taylor Cousins, named the game’s Hard Worker, pocketed the lone Lakers’ goal on assists from Josey Nerling and Saylor Martian.

Studs earn split

The Vernon Seed Orchard Studs split a pair of Midget games last weekend, starting

with a 4-1 win over the Lumby Stars at Priest Valley Arena. Chris Moore led off with some slick dangles to elude Stars’ goalie Noah Foufoulas. Darius Stone picked up the helper. A pair of thirdperiod markers by the Studs’ Parker Wadsworth were team efforts as Stone, Tim Key, and Reece Shroeder (2) helped create the offence. Maguire Dickinson added an empty netter. Goalie Kieran Watts was sharp in the win. Captain Reid Hackett replied for the Stars. Sunday at Civic, goalie Trey Spanier was at his acrobatic best but couldn’t prevent an Authentic Plaque & Trophy Black Mambas onslaught as the Studs fell 8-2. Wadsworth and Aaron Botterill handled the Seed Orchard attack. The Corbett Office Plus Royals and Nedco Fellas battled to a 4-4 draw in Midget play last weekend. Leading the way for the Royals was Cole Bradley with two goals. Adam Roemer scored one and set up Keefer Kaempf for his first of the year. Austin Bosquet and Jaden Steinke picked up helpers. Garrett Adams was solid in net.

The Vernon Vortex started the competitive speed skating season in style, winning their first hosted meet against much larger clubs from Kelowna and Kamloops. “After the Kamloops club narrowly beat Vernon for the Coyote Cup last year, this was a great way to begin a new season,” said head coach Mike Hall. Vernon skaters recorded an impressive 37 personal bests (PBs), including veterans Nate Benn, Declan Fitzpatrick, Jared Eddy, Tadhg Boyle, Lauryn Eddy, Laura Hall and Mattias Isobe. Despite crashing twice, Daniel Hall managed two PBs. The Vortex rookies, led by Logan and Nathan Stewart and Jonah Violini, all performed exceptionally well against more experienced racers from the larger clubs, establishing solid personal benchmarks. “A big thank you to the parents of the skaters who all worked together to contribute to a fantastic competition for everyone,” said Hall. “The out-of town-skaters left with 14 personal best times – the meet was a tremendous success for everyone.” For more information about the Vortex club, or to learn more about speed skating, visit www.vernonspeedskatingclub.com, or visit their Facebook page: Vernon Vortex Speed Skating.

Beauregard nets audition GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s Kayden Beauregard has another entry for his growing field lacrosse resume. The Grade 9 Vernon Secondary student was one of five Interior athletes to earn an invite to Team B.C. Under 15 boys tryouts last weekend in Langley. While he didn’t make the final cut, Beauregard said the experience was valuable. “It was really cool. It was fun to play with a high level of players,” said Beauregard, who only took up field lacrosse three years ago. A member of the North Okanagan Legends U15 team, Beauregard was selected for Team B.C. tryouts after a recent Interior selection camp at UBC Okanagan. He was joined by Tyson Johnston (Kamloops), Chace Jones (Kamloops), Connor Ramage (Penticton) and Trenton Henson (Penticton) in Langley. An attack player, Beauregard has been working with the Okanagan Sun Devils elite program to raise his skill level. Along with Legends’ practices, he trains with the Devils every other Friday, working mainly on dryland and stick skills. “I’ve been practising for awhile with the elite program and have really improved my hands and my shot,” he said. The Sun Devils are in Victoria this weekend competing in a scouting tournament at Claremont Secondary.

Vikings ground Maroons Morning Star Staff

Ike Olson supplied the lone touchdown as the Fulton Maroons fell 16-7 to the host Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops in Okanagan Junior Varsity Football Conference play Wednesday. “We played well and stuck with Valleyview most of the game,” said Fulton head coach Mike Scheller. “In the end, Valleyview did a better job of controlling the ball and the pace of the game. Offensively, their defence blitzed us continually, and we

could not compete.” Caden Doyle led Fulton’s ground game with 73 yards on four carries, and delivered a team-high seven tackles. Cole Hunter added 50 yards rushing and Olson had 42, along with 42 aerial yards and two interceptions. Nate Banga booted the extra point. Andrew Goldentahl and Koalden Gudeit-Oakden were defensive standouts with six tackles apiece, and Hunter Krieger had four. Anthony Prince recorded a sack.

Bolts shut out Bruins Continued from A24

The Stevenson Mechanical Bolts rebounded from a Saturday loss to zap the Winfield Bruins 7-0 in Pee Wee action on Sunday. Ethan Keber and Teja Sheldrake shared the shutout, supported by returning d-man Jackson Soucy, who set up Vernon’s first goal. Soucy and Chris Bond sent Jordyn Morris into the clear. Pony tail flying, Morris finished with lethal precision. Sapian Joe struck next, retrieving a puck on the backcheck before going back the other way to score. Bond, with a strong wrister, Quinn Soon, on another long rush, and Caleb James, shorthanded, completed the first-period scoring. Bond, on a high backhander, and Joe, assisted by Shaelyn Cecchini, wrapped up the offence in the second frame. The Bolts bowed 8-5 to Salmon Arm Saturday at Civic. Down by a pair, Joe got Vernon on the board, burying his own rebound. Soon tied it on an end-to-end charge. The game swung in Salmon Arm’s

favour, as they poured in four, but the Bolts struck back with three of their own on snipes by Logan Thoma, James and Joe.

Stars raid Red Devils

In Atom action, the Lumby Stars, sponsored by Terry’s Automotive, iced the Vernon Everton Ridge Homes Red Devils 7-4 Saturday at Civic. Lumby pulled ahead in the second period with a strong attack and superb goaltending. Jace Catt earned the Stars’ hard hat for his solid effort. On Sunday, the Stars bowed 17-1 to the North Okanagan Knights. Kyle Wheeler earned the Stars’ hard hat, showing great determination and hustle. In other Atom play, Katelyne Andrew fired a deuce as the SladenMoore Lakers girls team grounded Kelowna 4-1 Sunday at the Capital News Centre. Emma Roine and Shelby Richard supplied singles in helping the Lakers earn their first win.

Fulton topples Sinners Morning Star Staff

Jessica Thompson supplied three aces as the Fulton Maroons iced the Pleasant Valley Sinners 3-0 in North Zone Senior AA Girls Volleyball League play Tuesday night at Fulton Gym. Nazarena Wurz was a standout from the power position and setter Nicole Olson orchestrated a potent

attack as Fulton earned set scores of 25-21, 25-18, 25-11. “PVSS was a scrappy team,” said Fulton head coach Sharon Shaigec. “They were digging us left, right and centre, but we persevered.” The Maroons have the weekend off and will return to action at the Westsyde Whundas tourney in Kamloops on Saturday, Nov. 1.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your emotions will be close to the surface, making judgment calls difficult. Deep discussions are best avoided until you feel levelheaded. Keep situations plain and simple. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Don’t let anger get in your way. Remaining calm while others are upset will give you the upper hand, allowing you to get things done your way.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You can form a successful partnership if you engage in serious talks with people who share your vision and insight. A love connection will take an interesting turn. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Someone will have trouble understanding your motives. You will face firm opposition if the people you are dealing with doubt your ability to get good results. Prepare to move forward on your own. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A different career path will beckon you. Talk to people already moving in a similar direction. There is a wealth of knowledge available, so study what is most meaningful to you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) It’s time to take a leap of faith. Don’t let fear or procrastination dominate you. If you see a professional opportunity, take the plunge. Over time, you will realize your choice is perfect for you.

Hormones Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

Remembrance

DAY Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder THE ABNORMAL CAN BE THE RIGHT PLAY Cory Doctorow, a Canadian blogger, journalist and science-fiction author, claims, “Abnormal is so common, it’s practically normal.” If abnormal is normal, does that make normal abnormal? In bridge we have lots of normal bids and plays, but the deals in which we must produce the abnormal is one reason why the game has kept its appeal. In today’s deal, what is the abnormal play? South is in four spades. West leads the heart two in answer to his partner’s opening bid. North just shut his eyes and blasted into four spades. He hoped that even if his heart

king was worthless, his partner would have a chance to rake in 10 tricks. Assuming East has the heart ace (surely West would not have underled the ace), South starts with three top losers: one spade and two hearts. He must avoid also losing a diamond trick. Who has the diamond king? If West, the contract is going down when East shifts to that suit after taking two heart tricks. Therefore, declarer must hope that East has that key card. Then the defenders can establish a diamond trick only if West leads the suit through dummy’s ace. South must keep West off lead. Declarer must play low from the dummy at trick one, not make the normal play of putting up the king on the

off chance that West has underled the ace. East wins with his jack and cashes the ace, but then has no winning continuation. Declarer drives out the spade ace, draws the rest of the trumps, and runs the clubs to discard his diamond loser. He takes four spades, one diamond and five clubs.

Flu defence offered Morning Star Staff

Flu season is on the way and the Interior Health Authority is gearing up to help protect people who are most at risk from influenza and its complications. Influenza is a significant illness that, at minimum, can make people quite sick for several days. People with influenza can also spread the virus to others who are at greater risk. For those with heart, lung, and other health problems, influenza can cause severe complications and even death. The Public Health Agency of Canada estimates that every year about 3,500 Canadians die from influenza complications. “Influenza reduces the body’s ability to fight illnesses and infections and it can also increase a person’s risk for developing other serious conditions, including viral or bacterial pneumonia,” says Dr. Rob Parker, medical health officer. “Getting a flu shot and washing your hands frequently are the two most effective ways to protect yourself and others from influenza.” Influenza is often confused with less severe viruses that cause common colds or stomach flu (vomiting and diarrhea). There are no vaccines for these milder viruses. The influenza vaccine provides protection from the influenza virus strains expected to be circulating in the coming flu season based on flu trends worldwide. This year’s vaccine con-

tains three different flu strains including the H1N1 strain which was the predominant strain last year. According to IHA, the flu shot is safe, effective, and free for those at risk of complications from influenza and those in contact with people at risk. This includes: n People 65 years and older and their caregivers/household contacts n People in residential care facilities n Those with chronic health conditions and their household contacts n Children and adolescents (6 months to 18 years) with conditions treated for long periods of time with Aspirin (ASA) and their household contacts n Children and adults who are morbidly obese n Aboriginal people n All children 6-59 months of age and their household contacts/caregivers n Pregnant women at any stage of pregnancy during the influenza season and their household contacts n Visitors to hospitals, health centres, and residential care facilities n People who work with live poultry n Care providers in facilities and community settings who are capable of transmitting influenza disease to those at high risk of influenza complications n Individuals who provide care or service in potential outbreak settings housing high risk persons n People who pro-

vide essential community services (first responders, corrections workers) Free public clinics take place at the Schubert Centre from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Nov. 6, 20 and Dec. 4, and from 1 to 2 p.m. Jan. 8. The Vernon Health Unit offers free clinics from 2 to 6 p.m. on Nov. 13, 28 and Dec. 11, and from 12:30 to 4 p.m. Dec. 18 and Jan. 9 Flu shots are also available at most pharmacies.

Wi-fi will continue to be available in North O k a n a g a n - S hu s w ap schools. The district has turned down a request from the Citizens for Safe Technology to ban Wi-fi in an elementary, middle and high school and to hold a public forum on the issue. In a letter to the group, the school board states it holds the safety of children as its highest priority and is always open to community concerns about potential harm. “After reviewing scientific evidence from double-blind studies regarding electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) from a number of sources the board accepts the consultation of the World Health Organization that while the symptoms are certainly real, EHS has no diagnostic criteria and there is no scientific basis to link EHS symptoms to electromagnetic pulse exposure.” Trustees believe it’s not their place to hold a public forum on health issues around electromagnetic pulse but would be interested in hosting a forum based on sharing and discussing appropriate digital citizenship for students such as screen time and Internet safety.

News Action taken

he 2014 UN Climate Change Summit in New York was attended by our minister of the environment, Leona Aglukkaq. Canada is the only country in the G7 that has lowered greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In 2012, GHGs were down by 5.1 per cent lower than in 2005, even though the economy grew by 10.6 per cent in that same time period. Canada produces only two per cent of the world’s greenhouse gases but that does not give Canada a pass on implementing responsible and science-based policies that lower our GHGs. Most people are not aware that 75 per cent of Canada’s electricity supply Colin Mayes emits no greenhouse gases. Your government’s policy regulating the auto manufactures to meet lower emission standards and better fuel mileage has created huge benefits for Canadians and our environment. Our government also set emission targets for the coal-fired electric producers, mostly located in Ontario, and they have either upgraded their coal-fired electrical plants with scrubbers or shut them down. Your government developed the Green Transformation Fund to assist the pulp and paper industry to transition to biomass electrical generation. I was at a meeting with the Greater Vancouver Transit Commission and the executives stated that our government’s investment in transit in Vancouver had taken tens of thousands of cars off the road to the point that their revenues from the transit gas tax was down significantly because less gas was being sold in the region. This is a win for gridlock and the environment, and that is why we invest in transit in our major cities across Canada. Our government’s response to protecting the environment is to implement common sense solutions, without compromising our economic growth. Climate change is a fact. What causes attribute to that change is still being studied. The government of Canada’s scientists are studying the cause and impacts. You must have noticed that activists have changed their chant from global warming to climate change. This is because the polar ice cap has increased in the last two years by 40 per cent, the polar bear population is at a 20-year high, the glaciers in the Himalayas are not disappearing and ocean levels have not risen. Information from environmental activists is not always accurate, and that is why your government researches the information scientifically before making knee-jerk policy changes that could cost billions of dollars.

Let’s do the time warp again

Come up to the lab, and see what’s on the slab when The Rocky Horror Show stages in Armstrong just in time for Halloween Kristin Froneman

Morning Star Staff

Around this time of year, those attached to a certain ’70s cult classic film can be found painting their lips ruby red, pulling up those fishnet stockings, and packing their bags full of the essential props. There’s the rice, the newspaper, water pistol, toast, rubber gloves, noisemaker, toilet paper, and the list goes on. Then there’s the songs and extra dialogue shouted out by the audience, some of which we cannot print here, that is essential to any screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Those who have participated in the science fiction, double feature, or those who have never dared, can enter the time warp when the stage musical the film is based on is presented at the Interior Provincial Exhibition’s horticultural building in Armstrong next week. Yep, you read that right, in Armstrong. Presented by the Okanagan’s newest theatre company, Big Apple Productions, who

The cast with Big Apple Productions scare up some fun to stage the campy cult classic The Rocky Horror Show at the horticultural building at the Interior Provincial Exhibition in Armstrong. The musical opens Wednesday and continues to Oct. 31.

presented Honk! The Musical in Vernon this past spring, The Rocky Horror Show features a locally based and scantily clad cast, including a corseted, fish-netted, and wigged-out Brian Martin, morning show host at Sun FM, as the sweet transvestite from the planet Transsexual in the galaxy of Transylvania. “Playing the iconic role of Frank-NFurter has been a chance for me to do something I never thought I could do, besides wearing fishnets and a leather corset in front of a thousand people,” said Martin. “The cast has become a family. We all support each other as we are doing these crazy things in the name of great theatre. And I think I look pretty fabulous in drag.” What began as an experimental production at London’s Royal Court Theatre in June, 1973, has gone on to become a massive underground hit and international pop culture phenomenon. Written by Richard O’Brien, who played Riff Raff in both the stage and film version of RHPS, the musical is an outrageous assemblage of the most stereotyped science fiction movies, Marvel comics, Frankie Avalon/Annette Funicello outings and rock n’ roll of every vintage. (Some trivia: The late Christopher Malcolm, who grew up in Vernon and was son to Powerhouse Theatre founding member Paddy Malcolm English, starred as Brad Majors in the original stage production of The Rocky Horror Show in London.)

This local production is produced by Big Apple founder Melina Moore, who also serves as the show’s musical director, and is directed by Kelowna’s Neal Facey. “Nothing thrills me more than bringing a classic to our community for the first time. Yes, the content is risqué and out there, but that’s what great theatre does: it pushes us past our comfort zones,” said Moore. Vicki Proulx and Craig Howard play the virginal couple Janet and Brad, who find themselves lost on a cold, rainy night. The madcap, musical mayhem begins when the couple takes refuge in the castle of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a transvestite who is hosting the annual convention of visitors from the planet Transsexual. Frank-N-Furter unveils his creation, a muscular young man in gold briefs named Rocky Horror (Don Cecile), who fears the doctor and rejects his advances. When Frank-N-Furter announces that he is returning to the galaxy Transylvania, Riff Raff, the butler (Michael Gairns), his sister Magenta, the maid (Susan Evans), and Columbia, a groupie (Tanya Lipscomb), declare that they have plans of their own. The show’s star-studded cast also includes the local talents of Judy Rose (Usherette), Peter Byrnes (Narrator), Alexander Patterson (Eddie/Dr. Scott) and an ensemble of sensual, sinful Transylvanians. “This cast embraces their roles like I’ve never seen. It’s one of those shows that’s become pure magic. It’s brought out the best in

everyone, and has been a road to self discovery for many of them,” said Moore. Besides those taking the stage, Moore has also assembled what she calls the ultimate dream production team, including choreographer Lisa Schofield of Diversity Dance, costume designer Sue Gairns, set designer Jo Dixon, lighting designer Jessika LaFramboise, Jessica Nicole Studio, providing hair and makeup, and live band Half a Quorum, who will perform those iconic sing-along-to tunes. “From directing to choreography, costumes to set design, lighting to sound, and working with a live rock band, it’s really a joy,” said Moore. In addition to the fun that will be taking place on stage, those who attend the production on Halloween night can see the film version of RHPS, when it is screened at midnight at the Centennial Theatre, located next to the IPE grounds in Armstrong. (Costumes are encouraged, however, none of the props mentioned before will be allowed at the live shows, however, they are welcome at the midnight movie screening on Halloween.) “Anyone who misses this production is missing history in the making,” said Moore. The show opens Wednesday (preview night) and continues Thursday and Oct. 31. Tickets are available at the Ticket Seller, 250-549-7469, www.ticketseller.com. All ticket holders may add on the midnight movie showing at time of purchase. Limited seating available. (Due to mature content, viewer discretion is advised.)

Second World War, he has lost his machine gunner and the army sends him a rookie clerk as a replacement. Green, terrified and still morally sane, the young gunner must come to terms with his environment and become a killing machine, if he’s to do his job and survive the war. Within a few days, the crew of the tank, known as Fury, will face their ultimate test.

Fury is hard to watch because war is awful and turns men into monsters. If there is to be a moral gleaned from this film, we already know it. Unfortunately, Fury is light on message and heavy on killing. This would be fine if the filmmakers had simply left it as a film that let the atrocities do the talking. Instead, they

shoot ‘em up. So Fury becomes a shallow film that wants to be deeper than it is. HOWE: Hard to watch is bit of an understatement if you ask me. The special effects used in Fury are so realistic that it sent a chill through me knowing what man, woman or child is capable of doing to each other. Even though the movie is just over the two hour mark, it went by pretty quickly. The only down side I found was that it only touched very slightly on the relationships of the tank personal and relied more on the gruesome acts of war. TAYLOR: War... ugh! Good God! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing... HOWE: There’s a lot of talk of this being Shia Labeouf ’s comeback role. (I think he has been wandering about aimlessly in his last few movies.) He does a fine job in this as the southern Bible preaching gunner. Brad Pitt took on where he left off with his war acting role from Inglorious Basterds, the only thing missing was his ‘stash. But the star for me has to be young machine gunner Norman (Logan Lerman). After his character’s initial baptism into the war, I thought Lerman grew into his role very well, giving his character more emotional depth. TAYLOR: Fury is an ugly movie, about ugly men doing ugly things. I wish the filmmakers had done a better job at defining what they meant their film to be. That ugliness appears to be the only accurate thing about this film. If you’re rooting for that ugliness, there’s something wrong with you. However, it didn’t bore or offend me, so it gets a pass. – Howe gives Fury 3 eggs out of 5. – Taylor gives it 2.5 stained foxholes out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Arts Idol curbs his rebellious side Billy Idol: Kings and Queens of

the Underground n his first album in nearly a decade, English rock

singer/songwriter Billy Idol, is back with a strong collection of autobiographical melodic songs. Dean Gordon-Smith Idol is one of those characters whose tongue is so often firmly in his cheek that seriousness seems a put on. But his rogue-with-a-heart-of-gold image is toned down on some of these luxurious confessional tracks. He is backed by longtime guitarist Steve Stevens, and his old band. They build on Idol’s Brit rock/punk heritage to create

Street SoundS

pulsing grooves that show how his music was ahead of the curve back in Idol’s 1980s’ heyday. Save Me Now and Nothing to Fear have moody chords and ethereal keyboard figures that bring the sweetness above the grind. The album breaks in with an anthemic riff (Bitter Pill) but most of the music isn’t bravado based. As proved in his past, Idol has always had an ear for melody and classic chord progressions and that’s what this album is about. There’s only one stumble: the goofy Can’t Break Me Down and that’s because it falls prey to formula. The music flows and Idol doesn’t stretch himself vocally but lets the songs carry him. He drops the rebel yell and gets going with a romantic croon, at times evoking Gary Numan, Jim Morrison and Simple Minds. But on the aptly titled Postcards From

the Past, Idol barks out a patented “Come on!” as Stevens unleashes a shrieking line of notes. He coopted it so well, it became his own. There are unexpected oddities that have some left-field impact. The autobiographical title track checks 1977, 1984, the London scene, MTV and being high as a kite. Idol breaks from script here. The song has a baroque feel akin to acoustic rock of the 1970s. As he says, “I don’t need to be profound but if I’m still around/ We are still kings and queens of the underground/ Ah, golden years.” It’s an honestly inspired song that highlights Idol’s beenthere croon and delicate interplay from the musicians. Idol has mellowed a bit and the songs have a dreamy, reflective feel and the music is melodic and solid. Well done.

A rhapsodic performance

eter Grimes, the opera by Benjamin Britten, is about The Borough - a fictional village similar to Britten’s home town of Aldeburgh on England’s east coast. On Sunday, The Four Sea Interludes from the opera were performed by the Okanagan Symphony at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre as the OSO’s season opener. While Peter Grimes laments the drowning of his apprentice, the first interlude (Dawn) depicts The Borough’s daily grind and its relationship with the ocean. As The Storm approaches, people take shelter in the pub. On Sunday Morning, the borough is in church. And that night (Moonlight), Grimes is accused of being a murderer. Britten described the opera as: “a subject very close to my heart – the struggle of the individual against the masses. The more vicious the society, haunted-house-mock-10082014.indd 1

the more vicious the individual.” The main attraction Sunday was pianist Ian Parker. Here previously to perform for the North Okanagan Community Concert Association, for whom he played George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, this time he played it with the orchestra. Despite Rhapsody’s astounding success, Gershwin hadn’t composed the orchestral parts. Wanting to accomplish a full score, he embarked on his Concerto in F. He bought books and taught himself the necessary skills, but because of obligations to three Broadway musicals,

Working in a remote practice shack, he completed the orchestration in six months. While closer to a traditional three-movement concerto than the earlier Rhapsody, many jazz motifs and rhythms were recognizable from that earlier piece. Even so, what a stunning achievement. Rhapsody in Blue had a curious gestation. In 1924, when band leader Paul Whiteman, planning an experimental jazz concert, asked

Gershwin to contribute a concerto-like piece, he was too busy. However, his brother Ira read about the concert in The New York Tribune, which stated “George Gershwin is at work on a jazz concerto, Irving Berlin is writing a syncopated tone poem, and Victor Herbert is working on an American suite.” Gershwin called Whiteman, who told him that another promoter was planning a rival event, so five weeks before the concert, Gershwin agreed to do it. His finished score was passed to Whiteman’s arranger Ferde Grofé, who orchestrated the piece, finishing with eight days to spare. It was premiered by Whiteman and his Palais Royal Orchestra with Gershwin on piano. That day the Gershwin piece was second to last. And with the ventilation system broken, the audience was tiring. Until they heard the Rhapsody. The famous opening clarinet glissando happened accidentally. During rehearsal Whiteman’s clarinettist, Ross Gorman, played the opening notes as a continuous glissando. Gershwin immediately insisted on keeping it, with as much of a “wail” as possible. At Sunday’s concert, this was played by principal clarinettist Doug Sonju, playing 12 notes to produce that amazing slide. Sadly this was Sonju’s last performance with Okanagan Symphony, but what a triumphant finish after decades of performing with the orchestra and soloists. In front of an ecstatic audience, along with Parker, he took his final bow.

Knitters get crafty for the Gleaners The North Okanagan Valley Gleaners rely on the community to provide warm clothing for children in need around the world Morning Star Staff

The North Okanagan Valley Gleaners are busy all year fulfilling their mission of helping to alleviate hunger around the world. “Gleaners is made up of Christian volunteers who gather, process and package the surplus produce donated by many local farmers,” said Howie Anhorn, with the Gleaners. The group now runs two processing plants, one in Oliver that has been operating since 1994 and one in the Lavington area that has been going since 2007. “Their purpose is to gather (glean) crops that are damaged or left in the fields and that would otherwise go to waste. The product is dried and made into a soup mix that is shipped by various relief organizations around the world to starving people.” Volunteers are always needed at the plant, Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to noon. If you can help, call Eileen at 250-545-1672 or the plant at 250-558-5872 for directions. Gleaners also collects used medical equipment which is shipped by relief organizations to various parts of the world. Also, every year thousands of packages of seeds are donated by P.N.W. Seeds to Gleaners, which are sent to many countries with the soup mix. To help with the costs of running the processing plant, such as electricity and gas, the Gleaners opened a used furniture store in 2010. “This store, and other donations, is the only means of support for the food processing plant,” said Anhorn, who is happy to answer questions at 250-549-1632. And at this time of year, the volunteer-

run organization is also kept busy helping to keep children warm around the world. Gleaners run an annual campaign to collect new socks, mittens, toques and under garments for kids of all ages. “These are shipped with the food or separately to Third World countries, and this year they will go to eastern Europe,” said Anhorn. “Many people enjoy knitting these items or you can purchase them new. Your donations are greatly appreciated.” Last year, the Okanagan Valley produced 13,000 pieces. There are collection barrels in most North Okanagan churches, the Schubert Centre and The Gleaners furniture store. Last day of collection is Nov. 30. nnn The Gleaners used furniture and appliance store celebrates its fourth anniversary with a sale Oct. 27 to Nov. 1, and everyone is invited to drop by and enjoy the savings while helping the Gleaners. The store has grown from its humble beginnings at the old Kal Tire building to its present location at 4405-29th St., across from Carpet Castle. “We have seen significant growth, especially in the last years,” said Jim Vandertas, with the Gleaners. “God has blessed our efforts beyond all of our expectations and continues to open the hearts of the people from the North Okanagan valley with donations. “And we can’t forget our volunteers — they are certainly appreciated because without those volunteers we would not function a lot of time.” Volunteers are always needed and most welcome. Any donation of furniture is appreciated, and pick-up is available, if drop-off is not convenient — call 250-549-1123. “With great joy we have our own pickup cube van, which was donated, that is keeping us very busy with pick-ups, usually on Tuesdays and Thursdays,” said Vandertas. “Again we would like to thank all our donors to make this our biggest year ever.”

They are in need of wool so they can continue their work — any donations can be dropped off at Vernon Restholm or call Abram at 250-545-1294 for pick-up.

“A comprehensive eye exam can make a real difference in how well a child performs at school, more so than a simple sight test or school vision screening,” says Dr. Amanda Farley, an optometrist in Vernon. “For school-age children, several different visual skills must work together so they can see and understand clearly.” One-in-four school-age children has a vision problem and many of these problems have no obvious symptoms, so there is no way

for parents to know if their child is the one. Since children have no point of comparison, most accept their vision as normal because they don’t know any differently. As a result, many children with impaired visual skills can become withdrawn and perform below their potential in school. Some children are even misdiagnosed as having a learning disability. “Research tells us that most parents mistakenly believe that they would know if their

Undiagnosed vision problems affect children’s learning and development For The Morning Star

October is Children’s Vision Month and Doctors of Optometry Canada are reminding parents to take their children for a yearly eye exam. At school, socially and in play, vision problems can prevent children from reaching their full potential. With 80 per cent of learning based on vision, an eye exam is the best way to help ensure children achieve optimal learning and development.

child had a vision problem. But with no easy-to-detect symptoms, it is impossible to know without an eye exam.” Children don’t need to be able to read to have an eye exam. Optometrists recommend infants have their first eye exam between six and nine months old. Children should have at least one eye exam between the ages of two and five, and yearly after starting school to ensure optimal vision and development.

Marks launches first children’s book Morning Star Staff

A dream has been realized for local women Beth McCarthy Marks and Pamela Cinnamon, who are launching their first children’s book How Perfectly You! Author Marks came up with the idea for the book because she wants children to know they can like being who they are. The book tells the story of a family camping trip where, with the help of Mom, Dad, and their lovable pooch Peabody, sisters Chloe and Banger realize that being different is just fine. “What I love about the book is that it seems to have the sweet impact I’d hoped for, the awareness that whatever your age, or however you are, you are unique and special in your own way,” said Marks. “I love that children can really know that different is not wrong or better or worse and that the world

needs their flavour just as it is.” How Perfectly You is the first book that Marks has written but she is an accomplished writer in both poetry and plays. It was a first-time project for local artist Cinnamon as well. She is respected in local art circles and a longtime member of the Jasper Artists Guild. “This is a book that appeals to all small people, and to the big people who read to them,” she said. The release of the book comes after a year and much effort on behalf of both the book’s creators and publishers. “We are pleased with how it turned out,” said Jadon Ward, with Okanagan Publishing House. “At Okanagan Publishing House our goal is to create books that not only contain art, but are art, from cover to cover. I think we can honestly say we accomplished

Rev. 21:2: “John saw the holy city, new (kainos: not time, but form or quality) Jerusalem (which will have been in the earth for over 1000 years - the millenium - after Christ’s second coming) as a bride adorned for her husband”: a symbol of the elect (chosen by God). The “adornment” is the perfection of character and nature that Christ desires to see in those whom he will take to himself as his own. Isa. 61:10: “he (Christ) hath covered me with the robes, of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments.”

“We wanted to build our relationships with one another and create a church where young and old could enjoy intergenerational community worship and clear Bible teaching,” said Julene Ponipal, worship arts director. The building’s expansion will allow the church to seat 500 people in a new sanctuary, with supporting rooms to facilitate the many different ministries of the church. “We are using this time to raise funds so that we will not incur a heavy debt load,” said church administrator Deb Holbrook. “There are four events between now and Christmas that the community is invited to attend.” For more information, call 250-549-3095.

Inside

Verdict Toyota is often criticized for not being bold enough in some of the choices it makes. Honda now has up-to-date technology in the new CR-V but Toyota is sticking with what works. This approach might be viewed as a step behind but other might look at it as tried-and-true technology that is reliable and still delivers solid fuel ratings. Toyota RAV4 was a pioneer in the small SUV space and continues to be a market leader but now the market is so crowded with entries I suspect it will need to get new engine technology when it is totally refreshed in a few years. My time with the RAV4 LE confirmed that Toyota knows how to make a thoroughly practical and easy to use vehicle that pleases all passengers. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 2.5L 4-cylinder with 176hp Economy: 10.5L/8.2L/100km (city/ highway) Sticker price: $24,005-$33,350

The seat-heating buttons, the Eco and Sport settings for the transmission are all switches the driver access frequently but they are not as easy to see, as they should be. Other than the dash there is still a large percentage of the interior covered in hard plastic. The up side is a well laid out interior configuration. The doors open to a wide angle and expose a big back seat with a flat floor, for easy access. The front seats are comfortable and now the

Sport buttons holds the transmission a little longer between shifts for more responsiveness. Fuel economy is rated at 10.5L/100km in the city and 8.2L on the highway, using the new more stringent 2015 fuel economy test. The RAV4 was a solid leader on the fuel economy front but the new Honda CR-V now claims that crown.

Nissan Leaf is no glorified golf cart By Bob McHugh

The Nissan Leaf relies solely on electric power for propulsion and was the first mass production EV (electric vehicle) sold in North America. No glorified golf cart here, the Leaf can seat up to five adults and has more than enough power to be driven a highway speeds ... just like a normal car. When Leaf was released as a 2011 model year vehicle Nissan already had pre-sale orders for its entire first-year production run of 20,000 units. Based on a stretched version of Nissan’s B-platform, Leaf uses a low-slung Lithium-Ion battery pack to store its electrical energy and it’s located near the centre of the vehicle, under the floor. In addition to ample rear cargo space, the battery position also helps make the Leaf more stable and more nimble than other EV’s.

Leaf has a rated driving range of 160 kilometres on a single charge, but it’s capable of going longer distances if the conditions are right and the driver conserves power.

a dedicated (level 3) DC fast charger. A level two (typical home unit) charger hooked up to a 240V outlet can do a full charge in less than eight hours. The portable (level 1) charger can be used to top-up power and connects to any (110-volt) electrical outlet. The charger port is hidden behind a small door up front. The ultra quiet Leaf has a speaker near the front of the vehicle that makes a humming sound, at low vehicle speeds, to alert pedestrians to its presence. Like all electric motors, full power is available immediately. The (regenerative) brake pedal feel Nissan Leaf is a little different and the lack of telescopic steering column may putoff some buyers. The 2012 Nissan Leaf was essentially unchanged, however, the 2013 model year brought a bunch of technology upgrades and a new lower-priced

It’s a unique air cooled flat design of battery pack with four cells and 48 laminated modules. It weighs about 250 kg (600 lbs.) and came with an eight-year/160,000 km warranty. An 80kW AC synchronous electric motor drives the Leaf’s front wheels. It can generate 107 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. Leaf has a rated driving range of 160 kilometres on a single charge, but it’s capable of going longer distances if the conditions are right and the driver conserves power. The battery pack can be charged up to 80 per cent of its full capacity within 30 minutes when connected to

base S trim level. An upgraded 6.6KW onboard charger is capable of reducing level 2 charge time (with 30-amp service) to under four hours. This Leaf also comes with an improved energy management and regenerative braking systems, a more efficient heater and improved aerodynamics. Although the Leaf has consistently received a ‘Top Safety Pick’ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the 2013 edition got a ‘poor’ rating in a new (and tougher to pass) small overlap frontal crash test. This test is designed to replicate what happens when the front corner of a vehicle collides with another vehicle or a fixed object like a tree or utility pole, at 64 km/hour (40 mph). While saving money on fuel is great, most Leaf owners are more concerned about the environment and our dependency on oil. So far, general reliability appears to be very good and EV maintenance costs are typically lower than a gas engine vehicle. Limited availability on the used car market is not too surprisingly, as most owners are hanging on to their Nissan Leaf.

John Lawrence “Larry” Streeter We regret to announce the passing of John Lawrence (Larry) Streeter of Vernon on October 16, 2014 at the age of 85. Prayers will be recited from St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, Revelstoke on Friday evening, October 24th at 7:00 p.m., followed by the Mass of Christian Burial on Saturday morning, October 25th at 11:00 a.m. with Father Aaron de Dios celebrant. Interment of Larry’s cremated remains will take place at a later date in Vernon. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Revelstoke Cancer Support Group, c/o Revelstoke Credit Union, Box 989, Revelstoke, B.C. V0E 2S0, in memory of Larry. Larry was born on November 22, 1928 in Edgewood, B.C. and lived most of his life in the Okanagan and Revelstoke areas. Larry and Agnes moved to Revelstoke in August 1962 where they resided until his failing health precipitated a move to assisted living in Vernon in May 2013, then onto complex care. Larry was a very quiet but dedicated man who gave many hours to his community. He was involved with the Revelstoke Snowmobile Club for many years. He was a groomer for the snowmobile trails where he loved to be up on the top of the mountain in the bright moonlit nights with the sparkling snow. In earlier years he was also an auxiliary RCMP and a director for the Revelstoke Credit Union. Larry was also the coordinator for the PEP Program for 10 years. His work took him all over the province with the Department of Highways bridge resurfacing crews, which meant spending a lot of time away from home and family. There are many roads in the province that have his footprint on them as well from his road construction days. He was a grader operator prized by many a road builder. In Dad’s 83rd year, an incredible accomplishment by his daughter Elaine was to find his extended family, whom he had never known. Numerous new found cousins of Dad’s were able to visit from Alberta and northern B.C. to finally meet him as well. Larry will be greatly missed by his loving wife Agnes of Vernon; son Leonard Streeter of Revelstoke, son Donald Streeter (Nola Carter) of Fraser Lake, B.C., daughters Marlaine (Cyril) Cooper and Elaine Kraft (Stephen Woolsey), both of Vernon, B.C.; grandchildren Lindsay Goettemoeller (Matthew) of Lumby and Dr. Jamie Kraft of Vancouver, their dad Peter Kraft; Bradley Cooper of Christchurch, New Zealand, Maureen Streeter of Edmonton, Alberta, Russell Streeter of Fort McMurray, Alberta as well as great grandchildren Jackson, Colter and Shiloh Goettemoeller.
