Mayor targets Mayes’ comments RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A war of words has erupted between Vernon’s mayor and the local MP. Rob Sawatzky used Monday’s city council meeting to blast Okanagan-Shuswap MP Colin Mayes over comments he made at the recent unveiling of a homeless memorial in Polson Park. “For Mr. Mayes to state that this was not a government issue is, at best, disturbing,” said Sawatzky, adding that homelessness does fall under Ottawa’s responsibilities. “It is clearly a government issue. A reason we have the issue is precisely because of senior government policy.” Sawatzky, who did not attend
“...it might be appropriate for him to resign his position.” — Rob Sawatzky
the memorial unveiling, went on to accuse Mayes of abdicating his responsibilities and says municipalities suffer the consequences from not having the appropriate resources to act. “His salary is paid by our public and if he truly believes that government has no role, then it might be appropriate for him to resign his
BANNISTER HONDA “A Family Business, with Family Values ”
position,” said Sawatzky. Mayes insists his remarks at the memorial unveiling are being misinterpreted. “My comment was it’s not government’s fault there is homelessness. They (homeless) have come into homeless issues because of disabilities or addictions,” he said, adding that the federal govern-
6425 Hwy 97 N, Vernon BC bannisterhonda.com 250-545-0531 • 888-545-0531
ment has invested in programs that assist the homeless. “Providing housing for every homeless person is not the solution to the reason they are homeless or why those we were remembering passed away. I further said that this is a community issue. We must reach out as citizens to the homeless and help them deal with their addictions and illness. This was an event to remember those that had succumbed to their illness, not a time to criticize government for not giving enough money to fix the problem. Money is not the solution to this issue.” Mayes also says that he never publicly criticized an MLA or MP when he was Salmon Arm mayor. “For Mayor Sawatzky to say that
is inappropriate without speaking to me to discuss the issue,” he said, adding that he should have been allowed to clarify the comments. Sawatzky is receiving support from Coun. Juliette Cunningham, who was at the memorial unveiling and heard Mayes’ comments. “It was upsetting for the MP to make that statement. It was pretty demoralizing,” she said. Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe was also at the ceremony and has concerns about Mayes’ comments. “It was an ill-advised statement but the federal government has spent $62 million this year on homelessness,” she said. “His comments were not well thought out because everyone is dealing with the issue.”

Golf courses take swing at water rates RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Vernon officials are vowing to review reclaimed water rates to try and keep golf courses viable. A delegation from Predator Ridge, the Rise and Vernon Golf and Country Club told council Monday that charges for reclaimed (effluent) water will increase from $224 a hectare in 2005 to $3,199 in 2015. “I’m shocked at the disproportionate amount these businesses pay compared to their competitors. It’s not fair,” said Coun. Brian Quiring. The courses want the city to work with them to determine an economically viable rate schedule and to reconsider the 2014 annual allocation fee for irrigation. “It’s an issue that will get a lot of sympathy from council and staff,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky. “It will occupy much of the next council.” According to the golf courses, the rate for reclaimed water will go from $143,352 in 2014 at Predator Ridge to $234,587 in 2015 and from $31,103 to $50,400 at the Rise. It’s expected to climb from no charge to $141,000 at the Vernon Golf and Country Club.
MORNING STAR FILE PHOTO
The Rise is among the golf courses protesting what the City of Vernon charges for treated waste water for irrigation. The delegation also included Hillview Golf, which has seen rates climb for potable water under the Regional District of North Okanagan (waste water is not available there).
“If we were profitable, we wouldn’t be in front of you,” said Terry Yacyshen, general manager at the Rise. “This is extremely punishable for the industry as a whole.”
In other communities, Kelowna Golf and Country Club pays $16,000 annually for domestic water, while it’s $12,000 at Gallagher’s Canyon in Kelowna and $15,000 at the Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club. In terms of effluent water, Penticton Golf and Country is not charged and Osoyoos Golf and Country pays $1 annually. “Our industry is a major economic contributor,” said Yacyshen of employment, tourism, development and taxation. “Our primary goal is to ensure our economic viability.” The courses say they are looking at alternatives to reduce water costs, including drilling wells and alternative land uses. “Layoffs are a reality and with closure, Hillview has said that is an option,” said Brad Pelletier, with Predator Ridge Resort. “If we knew these rates were going to be at this level, we’d have never built the Ridge golf course.” Quiring admits that the golf courses are critical so the city has a way of disposing of treated waste water instead of discharging it into Okanagan Lake. “We need them on the program so we have somewhere for the spray effluent,” he said.
Changing opinions don’t surprise Garlick RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Coldstream’s mayor isn’t surprised that some elected officials are shifting their views on the multi-million-dollar master water plan. All of the Vernon council members who are seeking re-election have stated they will vote against borrowing $70 million for water upgrades although some of them Jim Garlick supported going to referendum as members of the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee and the Regional District of North Okanagan.
“It puts people in a compromising situation,” said Jim Garlick of trying to seek public support during an election. “I’m in a situation where I’m acclaimed and I can speak more freely.” Garlick agrees that $70 million is a large sum of money, but he says other alternatives aren’t ideal. “All of the options were more than $100 million. If you say that’s too much, you have to have a conversation with the Interior Health Authority about the standards,” he said, adding that RDNO staff have presented a proposal that follows current guidelines. “Staff has been given marching orders (from IHA) and told to meet the standards. IHA is just carrying out the water act and what the standards are.”
Switchboard: 545-3322
Garlick won’t speculate on the outcome of the Nov. 15 referendum and he is not telling residents how to vote. “I support it going to referendum for educational purposes. The public will hopefully take notice of the details in the plan,” he said. Coun. Gyula Kiss, who has always opposed the $70 million plan, finds the changing view among Vernon politicians interesting. “Except for Bob Spiers, all of the others supported the referendum. It seems like an interesting reversal,” he said. Coun. Richard Enns believes some elected officials have found themselves in a balancing act. “There’s an understandable focus on the cost instead of the purpose and the process that went on,” he said.

Fire destroys an empty shed in the 100 block of Kalamalka Lake Road in Vernon Saturday night.
RICHARD ROLKE
Authorities are investigating another suspicious fire in Vernon. Firefighters were called to a garage in the 100 block of Kalamalka Lake Road Saturday at about 10:46 p.m. “The guys took care of it fairly quirky,” said Lawrie Skolrood, Vernon deputy fire chief. The structure was destroyed by the fire. “It was empty,” said Skolrood in terms of contents. The RCMP and the fire department are investigating the fire, which is just the latest incident in Vernon. On Oct. 20, a recycling dumpster was set ablaze at Interior Freight and Bottle Depot on 24th Avenue at about 9:30 p.m. And on Oct. 16, firefighters were
called to a three-storey building under construction in the 2700 block of 41st Avenue at about 9:48 p.m. “There is no pattern per se that it’s one kind of fire,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson, when asked if the three incidents are linked. Molendyk also wouldn’t speculate on the recent fires possibly being connected to a rash of suspicious fires during the summer. “There is no way of knowing if they are related,” he said. BX-Swan Lake firefighters were also called out to a suspicious fire in the Dixon Dam Road area Saturday night. “There was a fully involved car fire on the side of the road when we arrived. We extinguished it quickly but it was totally destroyed,” said Bill Wacey, BX-Swan Lake fire chief.
Incident investigated RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Patrons at a Vernon restaurant are being sought by police after blood was sprayed on them. On Saturday at about 1:37 p.m., police officers converged on the Tim Hortons on 58th Avenue after receiving reports of an individual splattering blood on customers. “He had a cut on his hand and was flicking blood,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson.
The 23-year-old suspect left the restaurant and was arrested outside. It’s not known if the blood has been tested. “We’re not sure if the suspect has a communicable disease,” said Molendyk, adding that police are concerned about the situation. Anyone who encountered the suspect and was sprayed with blood or had blood directed at them or their table is asked to call Const. Prommer at 250 545-7171.

chief Bill Wacey. “He’s got something really neat.” n Before the fireworks go off in Lavington there will be a bonfire and concession at 6:30 p.m. n Lumby skies will also be lit up. “The best viewing is behind J.W. Inglis Elementary School,” said Lumby fire chief Tony Clayton. n Before the fireworks in Armstrong, a bonfire will be lit just after dusk at the IPE grounds, where there will also be free hot dogs and hot chocolate. n In Falkland, there are hot dogs and hot chocolate at the bonfire at the Stampede grounds while enjoying the fireworks.

Mayor speaks out
ob Sawatzky can’t be accused of going quietly. He has just a few weeks before he retires as Vernon’s mayor and while others in those circumstances have remained neutral during elections, Sawatzky is pursuing a far different approach. “I think you have been a very good council and you should be proud of your body of work,” he told his colleagues at the end of Monday’s council meeting. “You have developed an excellent style of Richard Rolke healthy debate involving your various perspectives and working towards common goals despite differences of opinion. This morning’s in-camera discussion was another example of how you always work towards solutions, not towards disruption and impasse.” Sawatzky went on to say that the public has no idea of how many meetings councillors attend or the extra research they do. “All of the work you do is for the good of your community. You try to do the right thing for the right reasons and that is often the hardest thing to do,” he said. “There is no financial gain in this for you. I’m sure you would all be much better off financially if you put your efforts toward your own private financial affairs. I have been privileged and honoured to work with you. And you all deserve support from the public for your efforts to do the right thing for all the right reasons over the last three years.” It was that last sentence that led me into the mayor’s office after council ended. I wanted to know if Sawatzky was endorsing the four incumbent councillors seeking reelection. “I feel I would vote for every one of them but that’s the public’s decision,” he said when
BEYOND THE HEADLINES
approached. But he was a little more cautious when asked about Mary-Jo O’Keefe, a two-term councillor who is running for mayor. “She has done a good job as councillor and I am pleased she has put her name forward for mayor and I am pleased the others have also put their names forward for mayor,” said Sawatzky, who has lined up behind Victor Cumming for mayor. As a soon-to-be former mayor, Sawatzky took the rare step of wading into the election because he’s concerned voters have been distracted over where campaign signs are located. “I did not support the majority vote (to suspend enforcement) but I wanted to speak on this issue because I think the discussion is diverting attention from the more important issue of the stellar body of work this council has done over the last three years,” he said. When asked later to elaborate, Sawatzky said, “This should not be an issue in which the public judges them and makes a decision (on how to vote).” That is fair comment, but if there is broad opposition to the last term, it’s unlikely the public will be focused on just allowing signs on right-of-way in contravention of bylaws. If anything, there will likely be a cumulative consideration of the decisions made, whether it’s moving the tourism booth or increasing water rates. As mentioned before, it isn’t common for a mayor who is leaving by choice to hit the hustings for others (of course the last retiring mayor was Wayne McGrath. The others either lost their re-election bid or resigned from office). It will be interesting to see if Sawatzky’s intervention bolsters the chances of Juliette Cunningham, Catherine Lord, Brian Quiring and Bob Spiers. On the other hand, if Sawatzky proves not to be a popular mayor, then it may be an endorsement they want to avoid.
At a time when the North Okanagan’s economy continues to struggle, the plight of local golf courses should be taken seriously. Predator Ridge, the Rise and Vernon Golf and Country Club insist they are being hammered by the rates the City of Vernon charges for reclaimed (effluent) water for irrigation. “This is extremely punishable for the industry as a whole,” said Terry Yacyshen, general manager at the Rise. And that appears to be an understatement. Predator Ridge says its cost will climb from $143,352 in 2014 to $234,587 next year while VGCC and the Rise are also looking at significant spikes. In comparison, a course in Penticton is not charged to use reclaimed water while a course in Osoyoos pays $1 a year. Other courses in the Okanagan use potable water but the price is still substantially less than here. The concerns of the three courses arise as Hillview Golf continues to struggle with increased potable water fees from the Regional District of North Okanagan. Obviously water — whether it is potable or reclaimed — is a valuable resource and there is a cost to local governments to provide it, whether it’s treatment or the pipes in the ground. However, we all need to understand that the golf industry is vital to the region. It not only brings tourists here, but these courses employ hundreds of people and affiliated real estate developments draw new residents to the area. Vernon also avoids the contentious issue of pumping waste water into Okanagan Lake because golf courses are willing to use it for irrigation. Vernon and RDNO officials need to sit down with the golf courses and find a solution that meets everyone’s needs.

Shedding some light on Kin Beach
n answer to M. Wylie's letter, we have been residents along Lakeshore Road for 14 years-plus. The City of Vernon is responsible for Kin Beach frontage and Kin Park north of Lakeshore Road and west of Tronson Road. There have been long-standing debates between the Okanagan Indian Band and the city as to who is responsible for the rest of the beach south of Kin Beach such as looking after the beach and road, dispensing tickets to law breakers, upgrading the beach area, emptying the garbage, beautifying the beach and pruning trees, etc. We, the residents, have fought long and hard to get the cement barriers. We wrote letters, attended meetings and made many phone calls. Therefore, the cement barriers have been a blessing for all of us who live along Lakeshore Road and for beach-goers too. The barriers have brought to a dead halt the cars and trucks that had persisted in using the beachfront as a race track, a boat launch and a parking lot. During that time, many near accidents were averted with the most alarming ones involving the children who run freely along the beach. Some of us have actually stopped vehicles that were driving on the sand from hitting a child by running out and yelling at the driver who could not see behind them.
GOOD SAMARITAN I am sending out the biggest thank you to the kind-hearted Vernonite who returned my driver's license after finding it in a taxi cab in Vancouver. I think that little card must have been on quite an adventure in the big city as I dropped it in our hotel lobby and we never used a cab while we were there. I really appreciate how you went out of your way to make sure my license was returned to me. Thoughtful caring people such as yourself, really do make the world a better place. Brenda Thomson WATER WOES This letter is in response to the article regarding Hillview Golf and the future for owners Jim and Pat Atmore. First, may I say that I am not a golfer. I am a citizen who cares about the downfall of our lives and livelihood. I live on East Hill and this golf course is happy times to many locals. If water is such a precious commodity to this region, why are we continuing to put in
Others have tried to tell certain drivers to slow down, only to be told rude things with a certain finger. When M. Wylie speaks of the empty lots, we agree. The city owns these and they could be developed into wonderful little parks, each with its own character. And careful consideration could be given to the one closest to Okanagan Landing Road, and furthest from the beach, as that lot could be a much-needed dog park with free poop bags available. The owners could all meet, chat and the dogs could run freely in this empty lot without bothering those of us who choose to use the beach as a friendly safe place without having to deal with the dogs or their owners. more subdivisions that are obviously jeopardizing that which we already have and need? Due to unfair and extreme hikes in water from the RDNO, I am outraged that “they will look into this”! How about, “Sorry, let us take care of this!” Which is what we should be hearing from a community that cares. These days, everything seems to be a money grab with the consequences be dammed. This is so wrong. I say, stop destroying Vernon and be open for business and support the businesses that we have. Vernonites use your voices. I remind you of what happened years ago when Far West manufactured its own brand of clothing. They were innovative in the making of new materials like Gortex. They put us on the map and increased their sales and employees. Our government, in its wisdom, decided that these Canadian clothing companies were prospering, so it taxed them to death by putting a huge levy on fabrics. Companies throughout Canada sold their massive equipment, jobs were lost, many closed their doors and then shortly after, the
Not everyone is a dog lover and the ways the dogs run freely up and down the beach now is a terrible shame. We have seen owners simply ignore the fact that their beloved pet has defecated on the sand. We have seen dogs attack one another, jump on unsuspecting children or elderly people, pee on other people's clothing or towels, shake their wet bodies close to people and sniff or try to grab someone's food. Yes, we know not every dog owner is irresponsible but you have to admit as with everything else, the few who do not follow the rules, or do not use their common sense, do ruin it for everyone else. So we suggest the City of Vernon and the Okanagan Indian Band do get together for government decided to review this and lowered the tax rate on the fabric – too little too late. We gave our trades to foreign countries and now we pay and pay and are also at their mercy should they too decide that we are not paying enough. When will we learn? Perhaps to RDNO, Hillview Golf is a small fish in a big pond, but if we do not say no now, it will eventually be out of our hands and where that leads us scares me to write this letter. Juliette Cunningham, we cannot wait for a review or the next budget. Vernon will never be open for business until we protect the businesses that we have. Sally Gorby THANK YOU My heartfelt thanks to the good people at Skyview Village that looked after me when I fell in the driveway at the village until the ambulance arrived Sept. 25. After the excellent care I had for two days in the hospital, I'm glad to be home. Thanks once again to each and every one of you. Mike Gavinchuk
a very good cause. This cause would be to create a beautiful beach and lovely dog park. Our beach on Lakeshore Road could use refreshed or new sand, trimmed trees, broken branches could be taken away and new trees planted for the future. It wouldn't hurt to have a couple of benches and maybe a bathroom at the south end of the beach because, believe it or not, not only do dogs pee but we have seen humans peeing on the beach as well. If both parties are good stewards of the environment, as both maintain themselves to be, well here is a good opportunity to prove it. This does not have to be accomplished all at once but an exceptionally good start would be the dog park. From there, perhaps every year, some form of upgrading could take place. Our tourists, who are very important to our community's economy, may as a result, pay some attention to this lovely beach location. Hence, spend more money in the area. So for the writer who commented on the cement barriers as eyesores, I hope this sheds some light on the good those barriers have accomplished in regards to the newfound safety and the pleasure they have afforded to those who enjoy Kin Beach. We encourage the City of Vernon and the Okanagan Indian Band to continue to spruce up the beach. L. Edwards, M.G. Dore, S. Gray

RCMP in full force for Halloween RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Police are preparing to keep the tricks to a minimum during Halloween. There will be a full complement of officers, auxiliary forces and Citizens Patrol volunteers during festivities in the North Okanagan. “With Halloween on a Friday, we expect to be busier,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “There are more parties and activities when Halloween is on a weekend compared to the middle of the week.” In Vernon, city bylaws prohibit the use of fire crackers and fireworks unless a trained person has a permit and liability insurance.
Parents should talk to their children about not running back and forth across streets when trick-or-treating. “Have something reflective on so you can be seen,” said Molendyk, adding that children should also carry a flashlight and wear a costume that allows them to move around easily. Vernon’s community policing office has issued a few Halloween tips. n Always trick-or-treat with a friend. Younger children should be with an adult. n Glow sticks and reflective tape help people in vehicles see trick-or-treaters in the dark. n If you must wear a mask, make the eyeholes larger so you can see. Push the
mask up on your head when you are walking. n Only go to well-lit homes and only accept treats at the door. Never go inside. n Plan a trick-or-treat route and a curfew time for older trick-or-treaters. n Always have a parent check over candy before eating the treats. Children can stop by the community policing office at 2900 32nd Ave. for a trickor-treat bag, along with Halloween-safetythemed colouring book, and a treat or two, while quantities last. The community policing office will open as part of the Downtown Vernon Association’s Trick-or-Treat Trail Friday from 3 to 5 p.m.

The police made the rounds on North Okanagan lakes this summer. The RCMP marine patrol was on lakes in the North Okanagan and Shuswap throughout the boating season. “Compliance is improving,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “Safety and education were the goal of the checks. We want to make sure we don’t lose individuals on the water.” Officers inspected more than 1,000 vessels, including power boats, kayaks, canoes, paddleboards and personal water craft. Among the violations were not enough lifejackets, no spotter while towing a skier, no boat operator license and underage operators on

personal water craft. These all carry a fine between $200 and $300. “Officers want to remind boat owners and operators that these fines can add up and can be costly both in a fine and more important if an accident occurs on the lake,” said Molendyk. Anyone operating a boat with more than 10-horsepower is required to have a license through Transport Canada, and you need to display your number on both sides of the bow of the vessel in contrasting colour. Paddleboarders are required to have a lifejacket on their person or attached to the board.

Left-turn signal approved RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Traffic flow may soon improve at a busy Vernon intersection. The City of Vernon will put $50,000 towards a left-turn signal at 32nd Street and 39th Avenue and the remaining $25,000 will come from the Ministry of Transportation or the Insurance Corporation of B.C. “It’s about time and we’re glad it’s here,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky of a left-turn signal. Currently, anyone attempting to turn left off Highway 97 on to 39th Avenue has to generally wait for some time until there is a break in northbound traffic. That often results in traffic blocking the southbound lanes. The situation became heightened when the city relocated the tourism information centre to 39th Avenue this summer. “A left-turn signal will be advantageous for the public. It

way. “We have gained visitors and the tourism advisory committee is to be commended,” said Coun. Catherine Lord. “I’m pleased to see it’s worked for the better.” Because there is some vacant space at the visitor information centre, the city will put out a call for expression to see if a business would like to use the space. “Maybe we can sell local arts,” said Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe, adding that the goal of leasing out the space should be to draw visitors and residents to the centre.
Airport threat leads to charges Black Press
A 35-year-old Alberta man currently residing in Summerland faces several charges after the Kelowna International Airport received a threat to an outgoing domestic flight on Saturday afternoon. The Kelowna RCMP received a report of a possible threat specific to an outbound flight set to depart from the airport at 12:24 p.m. “The aircraft was inbound at the time of the report and, Kris Clark as a precaution, was diverted to a secure location away from the terminal for the ongoing safety of the public, airport personnel, and the facility,” said Const. Kris Clark. “The luggage of the outbound flight was also isolated away from the terminal building. Both the

— Juliette Cunningham will be a safety improvement,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham. The latest statistics show that the number of people stopping at the visitor information centre has grown since it moved to 39th Avenue in June. The total visitors from June 10 to Sept. 30 at the new centre was 12,991 compared to 10,836 during the same period in 2013 at the two former tourist booths. Relocation of the visitor information centre was contentious, with some residents insisting tourists wouldn’t find it and motorists would experience a challenge getting off the high-

luggage and passengers were searched but nothing of concern was located.” The inbound flight was never subject to the threat and police believed the aircraft and the passengers of that flight were never in danger. It was out of an abundance of caution, and for the purposes of the investigation, that the flight was isolated and the passengers and their luggage searched. The RCMP would like to thank the affected passengers for their patience and cooperation during this difficult situation. Through the course of the investigation, a person of interest was identified and taken into custody. Michael Joseph Howells has since been charged with uttering threats, public mischief, possession of a controlled substance, endangering aircraft by false information and mischief. He was held in custody and was expected to appear in court Monday.

wife, Lydia, have one son now in his fourth year at university. While running a landscaping/pruning business, Wainwright has always found time to give back to the community, from his work as a trustee to volunteering with the safe arrival program at Harwood Elementary School and serving on the board of the District Parent Advisory Council. “What I always enjoyed as a trustee was the interaction with the students and the teachers and administrators and going into the schools, where they are always so proud to show you what they’ve done,” he said. “If I’m elected, I look forward to representing the people of this district as I did before — I enjoyed my time on the board and I’m eager to go back to it.” Wainwright sees class size and composition as one of the most crucial issues in public education today, along with lack of funding for school districts. “We’re up 100 students, so hopefully declining enrolment is past us,” he said. Busing is also a concern, and Wainwright said if elected he’d like to meet with parents and learn about their concerns. “The 2.4 kilometre limit doesn’t seem like a lot, but on an icy road in the middle of winter, the darkness coming in earlier and earlier, then that makes a difference.” Also seeking a seat as Vernon/BX trustee are incumbents John Armstrong, Mollie Bono and Kelly Smith and newcomers Lisa de Boer and Brenda Giffin. Elsewhere in the district, Coldstream, incumbent trustee Bill Turanski is going up against Robert Lee Nov. 15. Incumbents Mitiz Fortin and Doris Square have been acclaimed to another term as the Lu m b y / C h e r r y v i l l e trustees.

Reggae band goes Green this Halloween Grande Prairie’s Tasman Jude tours on release of new album, plays show with local faves Cod Gone Wild Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
Take a reggae band out that Rastafarian Mecca known as Grande Prairie, mix that with an Okanagan-based group that plays music right out of a Newfoundland kitchen, throw in a few creative costumes, and you have the makings for one heckuva Halloween party. It all happens Friday at Paddlewheel Park Hall, when Alberta reggae band Tasman Jude plays guest to Cod Gone Wild at the Vernon band’s Masquerade and Costume Ball. “We met Tasman Jude this past summer in Alberta when we shared the stage with them at a couple of festivals,” said Cod Gone Wild’s Andrew Mercer. “These guys are super talented and we just had to bring them to Vernon for a show. The people that are lucky enough to get tickets for this one are in for a real treat.” The city of Grande Prairie may seem like the last place you’d find a killer reggae band, but that’s exactly where Tasman Jude was formed. The band officially started when musicians Al Peterson and Caleb (BraveHart) Hart decided on a whim to climb on stage together back in January, 2013. After only three improvised songs, they were surrounded by a crowd of people asking where their music could be found and so Tasman Jude (now including Adam Paananen and

Grande Prairie reggae band tasman Jude joins Vernon’s Cod Gone Wild (above right) for the masquerade and Costume Ball at Paddlewheel Park Hall Halloween night. Derek Wilder) was established. “We don’t have fans, we have family members,” says lead vocalist Hart. “These people support us, love us and we hope to give them something more than music back.” Tasman Jude’s show in Vernon is part of its national tour in support of new album, Green, which reached number one on the iTunes reggae charts and is the first in a
series of three planned concept albums for the band. “The Green, Gold, Red package is meant to encompass the diversity of reggae music with each album taking on a different form of the genre: Green takes on the rootsy, earthy side of reggae; Gold will have a bit more island pop, and Red will be a little more ska- aggressive,” said Hart. After Tasman Jude finishes its Canadian
tour, the band plans to keep the momentum going with tours in Australia and the Caribbean (Hart is originally from Trinidad-Tobago). The band is also giving back with this album. A dollar from every Green record sold will be given to Tree Canada, which will equal one tree planted for every four albums. “By the end of this tour, we will have driven about 20,000 kilometers, played 30 plus shows, done various media interviews and are loving every minute of it,” said Hart. “We are not stopping in Kelowna or Kamloops on this tour, so we invite all of our fam (a word that Hart uses to label the band’s fans) from those parts to make the scenic drive to Vernon to come to the most unique and fun Halloween show they’ve ever attended.” Cod Gone Wild’s Masquerade and Costume Ball will see both bands playing throughout the evening and there will be prizes for best mask and best costume, added Mercer. Paddlewheel Hall is located at 7801 Okanagan Landing Rd. Doors open at 8 p.m. and the show begins at 9 p.m. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door if available. Advance tickets can be purchased at the Ticket Seller, online at www.ticketseller. ca, or by phone at 250-549-7469. (This is a licensed event.)

ellar Coltrane, at age six, stars as the boy in Boyhood, which kicks off the Vernon Fall Film Festival monday.
It’ll be three days of thought provoking film next week when the Vernon Film Society presents its 12th annual Fall Film Festival at the Vernon Towne Cinema. The festival kicks off Monday at 5:15 p.m. with director/writer Richard Linklater’s Boyhood, a 12-year journey that chronicles the growth of a young boy from first grade through to entering college. Joshua Rothkopf, of Time Out New York, called the film “unshakable, witty and deeply felt; a film that will be
paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.” Due to the length of Boyhood, the next film screening Monday will take place at 8:15 p.m. with documentary, Finding Vivian Maier, about a mysterious nanny whose previously unknown cache of 100,000 photographs has earned her a posthumous reputation as one of America’s most accomplished and insightful street photographers. On Tuesday at 5:15 p.m. is Love is Strange, starring John Lithgow and Alfred Molina as a married couple, who are separated due to financial circumstance and find themselves immersed in other families’ dramas. Tuesday at 7:45 p.m. is drama Ida, about a young novitiate nun in 1960s’ Poland, who is on the verge of taking her vows when she
discovers a dark family secret dating back to the years of the Nazi occupation. On Wednesday, Nov. 5 at 5:15 p.m. is Life Itself, a documentary examining the life and career of renowned film critic and social commentator Roger Ebert. The festival wraps up Nov. 5 at 7:45 p.m. with Life’s a Breeze, the story of an Irish family as they search for a lost fortune around the streets of Dublin. Admission for each film is $7 or $30 for a five-film pass (cash only). Tickets can now be purchased in advance at the Towne Cinema or the Bean Scene coffee house. Attendees are asked to arrive more than 15 minutes before the film starts to be assured of a good seat. For more information, visit www.vernonfilmsociety. bc.ca.

The spaceship is landing and all the little martians are heading to a Vernon nightclub to party with the lead alien on Halloween night. Presented by Vernon’s 13th Floor, DJ phenom Mat the Alien is hauling his decks to Vernon’s newly named and owned The Max night club (formerly 2929) for an electronic dance party like no other, said presenter Josh Brazier, with 13th Floor. “Mat the Alien draws a massive crowd wherever he plays,” said Brazier. “Support from Okanagan residents Subclaim, MetaphOracle and Purpskurp ensure the entire night will be filled with music that almost forces you to dance.” Powered by more than 10,000 watts of PK Sound, with stage design by 13th Floor, this event is sure to bring chills to your spine, added Brazier. “We’ve made some significant improvements to the sound and visual aspects of our shows and know people will be impressed,” he said. “With ticket sales already underway, this is shaping up to be a really good night in Vernon. Costumes are highly recommended and there will be prizes for those who go above and beyond with their creativity.” Now based in Whistler, Mat the Alien was born and raised in the U.K. and grew up in his family’s record store. He started mixing, scratching and making beats at the age of 14. It wasn’t until he moved to Canada in the mid-‘90s that he began to hone his skills on the turntables. Led to Whistler by his other passion, snowboarding, Mat found himself playing to varied crowds of people visiting the snow-sport destination from all over the world. It was playing regular club nights in Whistler that he adapted and originated his ability to seamlessly blend genres such as dub, dancehall, hip-hop, breaks, rock, funk and drum and bass. Described by Knowledge Magazine as “aweinspiring,” Mat has toured across the globe, performing from Miami to Moscow and at sports events such as the Winter Olympic Games in Torino and Whistler, The X Games, and many of Canada’s largest festivals to more than 15,000 people. He has also pioneered club nights in Whistler and Vancouver and held down a biweekly club night in Las Vegas at Eye Candy in the Mandalay Bay resort. A Love Story — A Gem of a Play

Vernon’s 13th Floor is bringing producer/DJ Mat the Alien to The Max Nightclub for its Halloween show. His original music and remixes have been featured on numerous TV shows, DVDs and webisodes. His remixes for Nick Thayer and South Rakkas (featured on Diplos’ Mad Decent blog), and his original music have received positive feedback and plays from some of the industry’s biggest names. His scratches can be heard on tracks by Fort Knox Five, Eprom (Ill Gates remix), Sweatshop Union, and EA Sports NBA Home Court 3. Now also touring with his video/DJ set, Mat the Alien is taking his solo DJ act to new heights, hitting all of the senses with custom remix and video edits. West Coast DJ/producer Subclaim, who now resides in Vernon, is currently pushing deep ‘n dark sounds for local label Bassbong Records. He has been playing dubs in the forests of B.C. since 2009, focusing on bass weight, soulful vibes, and dark atmospheres. His sound is said to be deeply rooted within low-end and relentless subbass frequencies. Through clean mixing and a tight tune selection, including exclusives and originals, Subclaim says he brings forth a sound that is nostalgic, yet equally refreshing, and heavy enough to shake the toughest of sound systems. Throughout his past, MetaphOracle has been gaining momentum, developing into one of Western Canada’s most unique anomalies. His lifelong love affair with music has developed his sound into a mosaic of slamming rhythms, lush harmonies and bold bass lines. For close to a decade he has continued to add to his collection of originals and remixes while constantly refining his performance style into what it is known for today. MetaphOracle has played at numerous festivals around B.C. and Alberta (Bushwacked, U4EEYAH, Mad Hatter, Bass Camp…) while continually bringing his vibe to a multitude of local events. His influences are numerous and diverse, yet he finds himself sharing the stage with many of the people that helped originally spark his passion for music. In 2013, his original Bodacious Oasis gained attention from the Slow DJs in their monthly Slow Picks, while his remix of Kona Lows made waves on Beatport’s glitch hop charts. Pre-sale tickets for 13th Floor’s Halloween Party are $15 at The Max (2900 29th Ave.) and the Downtown Internet Lounge (2912 30th Ave.) Limited tickets will also be available at the door (19plus event.)

Celebrate novel writing month Morning Star Staff
The Caetani Cultural Centre is celebrating National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) with a monthlong weekend series on how to write a novel conducted by local author Laisha Rosnau. Starting this Saturday and continuing Nov. 15, 22 and 29, a few spaces remain for the workshop. Laisha Rosnau Those who sign up will learn how to plan for, plot, and structure a novel, said Susan Brandoli, residency and workshop coordinator with the Caetani centre. “(They will) understand how to identify and coax the most compelling material, and how to build a world around it,” she said. “(They will also) begin to develop and deepen characters, strengthen narrative voice and point of view (and) create convincing settings and dialogue and write vivid descriptions.” Attendees will also foster idea generation, writing, and editing skills through instruction, writing workshops, and discussion. Craft issues will also be discussed and the exploration of fiction markets. Rosnau is the author of the bestselling 2002 novel, The Sudden Weight of Snow, and three poetry collections, Pluck, Lousy Explorers, and Notes on
Leaving. Her fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry has appeared in anthologies and magazines in Canada, the U.S., the U.K. and Australia. Her work has been nominated for several awards, including the Amazon/Books in Canada First Novel Award, three times for the CBC Literary Award, the Pat Lowther Memorial Award, and she has won the Acorn-Plantos People’s Poetry Award. Rosnau is currently working on a novel based on the storied history of the Caetani family in Vernon. She holds a master’s of fine arts from the University of British Columbia and a bachelor’s from the University of Victoria and has taught creative writing, poetry and fiction at UBC Okanagan, Okanagan College, and the Vancouver Film School. She coordinates the Vertigo Voices reading series at Gallery Vertigo, and has been a judge for Kalamalka Press’ John Lent Poetry-Prose Award, the Okanagan Short Fiction Contest and the Room Literary Magazine Fiction Contest. The cost of the four-day workshop is $25 for existing Caetani members, and $50 for non-members, which will include a membership. Participants can register online at www.caetani.ca.

Program treats addiction locally Jeff Vircoe Special to The Morning Star
It could be your mother. Your sister. Your little brother or even your daughter. But chances are someone in your family, someone you love, is addicted. And they need help. Darrin Taylor and Chris Bader are extending the hand of hope. The two men are addictions counselors, intent on making a difference for people who want help but for whatever reason cannot commit to an extensive stay at a treatment centre. Taylor is the owner of Axis Intervention Services, a Kelowna and Vernon based service that has been helping Okanagan families since 1999. This fall, Axis is offering a new program aimed at meeting addicts or potential addicts where they’re at — not on the Downtown Eastside, but right here in the Okanagan Valley. Taylor clears up a couple of the myths surrounding addiction: one, the addict in your life is not likely living down on Skid Row. The truth is they are more likely to be working, or a stay-athome mom, or a student. “I think that there are a lot of people in the Okanagan who could use help,” said Taylor, a registered therapeutic counselor and a board certified interventionist. “Our target market
I
is probably not going to be the street level addict. If someone is struggling in that way they require a more intensive program. The majority of people struggling with addiction are likely to still have a home, a family, and they probably still have a job. That’s the real face of addiction in this country.” Bader agrees that the problem is massive and underground in the Okanagan. “I think it’s huge. We talk about it often; it’s not necessarily the alcoholic drinking out of a brown paper bag. It can be people with families, working jobs but they definitely have issues outside the public eye,” he said. “We see situations where the addicted individual loses their ability to be emotionally available with their spouses and family. It’s a separation of the family unit.” The other thing to consider is that not everybody needs residential treatment. “Typically, the street level addict needs residential treatment,” said Taylor, whereas IOP’s (Intensive Outpatient Program) are more for those who for whatever reasons just cannot go away for 30 or 60 days or longer to get their footing. “If they’ve tried on their own to quit, but they have a strong desire to change, and are unwilling or unprepared to leave home and engage in

Addictions counselors Darrin Taylor (left) and Chris Bader are offering Intensive Outpatient Addiction Programs this fall in the Okanagan. a residential program, this is certainly a good option.” He adds that there is an understanding that some people may ultimately require more intensive work, and “the IOP we are delivering may be a good springboard for longer term residential treatment if that’s what’s needed.”
Taylor and Bader are offering an Intensive Outpatient Program starting this month. The IOP is an educational, 10-week program which will explain the essentials of addiction to those who may be struggling with symptoms.

Pine needles get new life
finally managed to get all the plants that I am overwintering into the house. We were fortunate to have enough sunshine in the afternoons to give me a chance of getting things done in the garden. The zinnias are still putting on a fantastic show of colours and the cosmos this year are outstanding. Some dahlias which I was late putting in the ground in the spring Jocelyne Sewell have finally opened. One of them I thought I had lost over the years but it bloomed this year. This is a yellow and red spider dahlia which was given to me in 1995. Some of the plants in our gardens are gifts which remind us of the donors. A lot of the plants I have, I don’t know the variety of them but they go by the name of the person that I received them from. Every time we moved, a lot of my plants came with us and a lot of the people left behind are never far from my mind. I finally got the scarlet runner beans

down. I had enough for seeds and the other ones which are past their prime for eating fresh, are being shelled and will be used for making chili. As of last Sunday, I was still picking cherry tomatoes right off the vines. The wind is blowing the pine needles from my neighbour’s tree all over my beds. I hate to pick those as you have to work with gloves because they are prickly. The worms grab them and pull them into the soil but the ends stand up and they are a mess to clean up. Since I cannot remove the tree, I have to make something useful out of it. From http://homeguides.sfgate.com/ proper-mulch-strawberries-26206.html “Pine needles, also called pine straw, are a proper mulch for strawberries and slightly increase the acidity of the soil as they decompose. They are an ideal alternative to plastic mulch for strawberry patches with slug problems. Plastic mulch creates a moist environment slugs love, while sharp and prickly pine needles repel these creatures. Mulch with about two to three inches (five to eight cm) of pine needles a few weeks after planting or right after the plants blossom. Add pine needles to create a depth of three to four
inches (eight to 10 cm) to insulate overwintering plants from the cold.” The Effect of Pine Straw on Strawberry Plants By Kim Joyce, eHow Contributor (http://www.ehow.com/ about_6665273_effect-pine-straw-strawberry-plants.html) Pine straw mulch comprised of dried pine needles, creates a thick, protective mulch mat over plant roots but allows both water and air to permeate underlying soil. Sometimes combined with shredded pine cones, pine straw is an excellent mulch for evergreens, strawberries and other plants that need acidic soils. The ideal mulching depth is generally two to three inches. Pine straw mulch, like other organic mulches, will decompose over time due to contact with soil and organic matter. This helps the soil’s overall structure — or the arrangement of soil particles — by improving the aeration for clay loam or silt soils and increasing the water-holding capacity of sandy soils. Pine mulch improves and stabilizes soil structure also by reducing soil compaction due to rain, irrigation and the weight of people or vehicles. For more information: 250-558-4556.

A confession from a fair-weather cyclist Moira Mccoll Special to The Morning Star
September and October are two of the best months for cycling in the North Okanagan. With many sunny days, temperatures ranging from 15 to 25 degrees C, and back roads free of summer traffic, it’s a great time to explore on two wheels. The weather tends to be so reliable that I rarely consider an alternative plan. So when we ride our bikes up Bella Vista Road to Planet Bee Honey Farm and Meadery, even though the sky is dull and gray, there is no plan B. Observing the live hives we learn about the six to eight-week life cycle of the female worker bees, the drones who exist only for the purpose of fertilizing the queen bee, and the queen herself, who eats
royal jelly produced by the workers, lays about 2,000 eggs a day and lives to the ripe old age of three to five years. We taste the variety of honeys but decline the mead (honey wine) tasting as we are heading back out onto the road. An hour has passed and it is now raining. Determined to finish our tour, we ride the couple of blocks to my house and abandon the bikes for the car. Yes we love to cycle but the truth is, it’s the stops along the way that are the best part of the journey! With windshield wipers sweeping the rain off our view, we trace out what would have been our bike route: down Bella Vista Road, continuing east on 30th Avenue, a right turn onto 26th Avenue

Planet Bee is just one of the many highlights of a cycling trip through the Bella Vista area of Vernon. and then a left turn on 25th Avenue, which continues east to a T intersection, then south on Francis Road. A right
and then left turn on to Pottery Road, which we follow to 476 Pottery Rd. Here, in a tidy clap board house, is South
of Pine Street Fashions, our next destination. We open the squeaky screen door and are greeted by owner Shella who asks if we would like a latte while we browse. Being neither sweaty nor wet, there seems no barrier to trying on some of the new fall fashions. We leave, tossing our purchases into the car; no need to cram them into panier bags! This justifies our car tour, even though the rain has stopped. We drive north on East Vernon Road, through the pastures of BX and acknowledge the steepness of the road up over Black Rock and how fast we would have coasted down 39th Avenue on our bikes. Our final destination is The Greater Vernon Museum and Archives, a place we have all intended to visit
Axis uses IOP model to treat addiction Continued from A16 Using one of the premier IOP models available, the two men will walk clients through a series of practices designed to lead people to a goal of abstinence. The Edgewood Treatment Centre model used by Axis includes education on addiction, cognitive behavioral therapy, relapse prevention techniques, group therapy sessions, anxiety management techniques, healthy living practices, self and peer assessments and a recovery plan. In addition to the two evenings a week, clients can also expect one 60-minute individual counseling session per week. There will be lectures, assignments to do, an introduction to the 12 Step movement (Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous), and the family will get an opportunity to understand what their loved one is undertaking, at a family education presentation. There will also be a drug/ alcohol testing, which should help the facilitators determine during
the assessment process whether the individual is motivated to stay clean. “Essentially it’s a program for people who can attend in the evenings and still allows them to maintain their work and family obligations. We have a heavy focus on education as well as counseling,” said Taylor. The Edgewood IOP model is being used in that centre’s five outpatient offices across Canada. Edgewood is an 80-bed, private care facility in Nanaimo. The centre recently announced its new Edgewood Health Network, which included joining with Bellwood Treatment Centre in Toronto to offer a standardized treatment protocol for addicts across the country. The new EHN is planning on acquiring a third residential treatment centre in Quebec, and will launch another 15 to 20 outpatient clinics in the next five years. “Based on the number of outpatient locations, and the scope of its patient services, Edgewood is the premier provider of addic-
tion treatment services nationwide,” said Taylor. “I would argue that Axis has been for a number of years the leading provider of addiction and post-treatment services across the Okanagan Valley. With our six therapists and a registered nurse in our two locations, I think this is a good fit.” With the high profile deaths of Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Robin Williams, and the media-detailed struggles of people such as Rob Ford, Sen. Patrick Brazeau and Ron Francis, addiction remains a puzzling problem for Canadians. “The big thing that we are trying to get across to individuals we work with is yes it’s a chronic, progressive disease, but it’s highly treatable,” said Bader. “When I talk to clients about it I ask them, ‘if you got cancer, what would you do?’ and they say, ‘Well I’d go for treatment.’ This isn’t any different. “We’re getting into the root cause of the problem, the meat and potatoes of what’s behind the addiction. AA is a fantastic thing to get support from.
But the IOP educational aspect, and feedback, and ongoing aftercare is essential. The one-on-one recovery coaching. And there is a family component to what were going to do. If the addict gets better and the family is still stuck, that doesn’t create a healthy family atmosphere. So it’s about moving forward with a healthy recovery plan for everyone.” For its part, Edgewood management say they are thrilled to be offering Edgewood-style IOP in the Okanagan, and that it is Axis which is providing it. “We’ve always had an excellent relationship with Darrin and Axis,” said Elizabeth Loudon, clinical director at Edgewood’s main campus in Nanaimo. “I’ve always found him to be professional, empathetic and caring. He always goes above and beyond to help people. And I think it’s very important that we are going to be offering IOP in the Okanagan. More people getting help is a good thing.” The program will run continuously,
meaning that participants may join at any time beginning in November. Space is limited. Some employee plans or benefit plans do cover all or parts of the costs. For more information on the Axis IOP program, please call Taylor or Bader at 1-866-455-AXIS or 250-545-1898 in Vernon, or 1-778-7536227 in Kelowna.

but have never quite made it. Inside we walk along a wooden sidewalk, past the stories of fur traders, early cattle ranches and orchards and the B.C. gold rush that pushed Vernon from a sleepy town to a transportation hub, the epicentre for stage coaches, paddlewheelers and the railroad. We see the art of Allan Brooks, the namesake of the nature centre perched up on the commonage, and the work of famous potter Axel Ebring, and admire the vintage clock from the old post office. An hour is not enough time and we promise ourselves that we will return. We leave the museum under a sunny sky knowing that we could have biked the
route, but we are not disappointed: it was a great morning! Moira McColl is a freelance writer and cycling enthusiast in Vernon. This is the fourth in her Urban Wanderer series on cycling in the area, with the hope that it will encourage locals and visitors alike to explore the North Okanagan on two wheels. Second Location!

the aquatic fitness staff have offered more than 26,000 hours of fitness programs. And Aqua Awareness staff have provided encouragement and a helping hand to more than 5,000 people who need a little extra assistance in and around the water. “The aquatic centre also hosts some of the top-rated aquatic sport clubs in B.C.,” said Laing Gahr. “The Vernon Kokanee Swim Club has a longstanding reputation for being one of the best swim clubs in the area. The Vernon Silhouettes are currently among the top-ranking synchronized swimming clubs in the Interior. The aquatic centre is also a regular training center for Vernon Special Olympians.” There have been several improvements to the facility over the years such as the addition of a rope swing, rock climbing wall, an expanded weight room, flooring and updated showers. “There have also been many updates that are less noticeable but have helped increase comfort and safety for staff and clients: new boilers, a new roof, improved lighting, waterproof electrical panels and a dehumidification system to improve air quality,” said Laing Gahr.

Vernon residents visit European sister cities that lost their lives during the Italian campaign in 1944,” said Keith, who laid a wreath in their memory. Tour members also laid poppies on the graves of fallen members of the B.C. Dragoons. “The people of Tavullia honoured the tour and our soldiers at the local war memorial in the afternoon with words of welcome from the mayor, Francesca Paolucci and a blessing from the local priests,” said Keith. The final leg of the tour ended with stops in Florence, Assissi and Rome. In Rome the tour was honoured to see the Pope in St. Peter’s Square. The committee is a volunteer group and all members paid their own travel expenses.

It was the journey of a lifetime. Twenty-eight individuals, most from the Vernon area, left Sept. 18 to begin a two-week European journey that included stops at Frankenburg, Austria and Tavullia, Italy, both sister cities to Vernon. “We were overwhelmed by the reception we received by both sister cities and the experience reinforced to us how important the role of the sister cities committee is to our community,” said Barbara Keith, president of the Vernon Sister Cities Committee. In Frankenburg, there was a grand celebration by the townspeople and a tour of the community.
“We were overwhelmed by the reception we received.” — Barbara Keith
There was also a visit to the Swarovski Crystal factory, near Innsbruck. Group participants then travelled to Italy and Tavullia where they met up with two members of the B.C. Dragoons, Kevin Cmolik and Jonathan Balfour. “It was an emotional day starting with a visit to the cemetery which marked the graves of many Canadian soldiers

Breeders’ Cup at Racebook The Breeders’ Cup is horse racing’s largest North American event each year, with 13 races happening on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1. at Santa Anita Park in California. With a purse in each race between $1 million and $5 million, it’s a high stakes event that draws horses from all over the world to compete in the invitation-only races that often determine which horses will become the year’s champions. This year, you can take in the Breeders’ Cup at your local Racebook, a govern-
ment-sanctioned off-track betting location. The first race will start at 11:25 a.m. on Oct. 31, followed by three other races from the Breeders’ Cup. The first of nine races on Nov. 1 begins at 10:15 a.m., with the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic going at 5:35 p.m. The Racebook gives you a chance to watch harness racing and thoroughbred races from around the world, and allows you to place your wager in-person with a teller or at a self-serve terminal. If you’re
not able to make it out to the Racebook, you can bet online by joining HorsePlayer Interactive at hpibet.com. You must be 19 years of age or older to make a wager. The Racebook is located in Lake City Casino Vernon at 4900 Anderson Way, open seven days a week from 10 a.m. until late and offering contests and Customer Appreciation Days. Call 250-545-3505 for more information. For more information about Racebook, visit www.bcracebook.com.
Food drive stocks shelves Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Support for the food bank continues to grow with an ever-increasing need. The recent BC Thanksgiving Food Drive, where bags were left on doorsteps, was a proven success provincially, regionally and locally. Throughout the province 409,624 pounds of food were collected. “In the broader Okanagan area (including Osoyoos to Salmon Arm including Merritt), as a group we collected 92,992 pounds of food,” said Uriah Kane, event coDavid MacBain ordinator. “Here in Vernon, we were able to get donations of 16,850 pounds. Last year’s numbers in Vernon were about 10,200 pounds, so we were very grateful for the support we got from the community and our volunteers this year.” The drive is welcomed by the Vernon food bank, during an integral time of year. “We’re very appreciative of their support for this fourth annual event,” said David MacBain, Salvation Army community ministries director. “It’s really gone a long way to bridge that gap between now and the Christmas food drive in December, which will also be essential.” Locally, members of the Kalamalka Rotary Club assisted with the drive, as well as Kal Tire, which had a donation bin set up at the Vernon corporate office.
Dump hours change Morning Star Staff
Winter hours are being initiated at two North Okanagan landfills. The Greater Vernon and ArmstrongSpallumcheen landfills initiate winter hours Saturday, and that includes being closed Sundays until the end of February. “Both of these recycling and disposal facilities remain open through the week and will be open on Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.,” said Dale Danallanko, Regional District of North Okanagan recycling and disposal facility operations manager. The Greater Vernon landfill is open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. while the Armstrong-Spallumcheen facility is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

to the ground and cover your face with your hands and roll over to extinguish the flames. Always carry a flashlight with you as you accompany your children as they trick-or-treat. Make sure you have a cell phone and that everyone knows to call 911 in an emergency. Battery-powered candles, lights or glow sticks are safe to use to light up your carved pumpkins and other decorations. Avoid using real candles as they can start a fire that can ruin your Halloween celebrations. If you decide to use real candles, they must be kept well away from children and pets or anything that can burn, such as curtains. Blow out all candles before leaving the room. Keep any carved pumpkins lit with real candles away from the front door as children in flowing costumes may brush by them. Keep any matches, lighters or utility lighters out of sight and reach of children. Ensure electrical outlets are not overloaded with holiday lighting or special effects. Test your smoke alarms to make sure they work. In the event a fire starts in your home, you need to know right away. Lawrie Skolrood is a deputy fire chief with Vernon Fire Rescue Services.

he plans for this narrow two-storey family home, just 22 feet by eight inches wide, offer room for expansion in the form of a future fourth bedroom on the ground floor, plus a den and a possible mortgage-helper or in-law suite. The front door, flanked by glass panes, opens into a foyer with a coat closet on the left and a storage closet ahead and to the left, just before the L-shaped stairway that leads to the main living floor. Upstairs, the great-room complex occupies the back of the home, with a doorway onto a sundeck that will offer space for relaxing and outdoor meals during the summer months. Both the great room and dining room feature a sloping ceiling. The great room includes a gas fireplace for cozy family gatherings during the winter. The dining room separated from the kitchen and great room by a three-seat eating bar and prep island, boasts a handy built-out buffet. In the kitchen, the L-shaped counter configuration promises efficiency. Natural light will filter through the window over the sink. A pantry will provide extra storage space. The laundry room is located between the kitchen and the stairwell, which is railed for safety. Opposite the stairwell is the third bedroom, which shares a three-piece bathroom with the second bedroom, located at the front of the home. A linen closet is situated nearby, along with a display cabinet for collectibles. The master suite overlooks the front garden and includes an en-suite with a soaker tub and glassedin shower stall, as well as a walk-in closet. On the ground floor, the single garage enjoys

Marriage breakdown is based on one of the following 3 “grounds.” There are just three grounds for marriage breakdown: Cruelty or Adultery, or Separation for one year. Any one of them is sufficient for divorce. You do not need to have more than one ground. Separation for one year: You have lived “separate and apart” for a year having decided the marriage is over. Living “separate and apart” does not necessarily mean living in separate homes. You can live separate and apart while sharing a home. It is also possible to claim that although you only recently moved out and live in a different home, the marriage broke down and was essentially over at some time in the past, regardless of living arrangements You do not need a separation agreement to prove separation.

News West49 collects coats Morning Star Staff
A local clothing store is spreading the warmth by collecting coats for less fortunate kids. West 49 has kicked off its 12th annual Coats for Kids campaign, which runs until Nov. 19. Coat collection barrels have been rolled into each of the 65 West 49 stores across Canada, including the Vernon store in the Village Green Centre. The local store is collecting coats for The Arbour at Common Thread. West 49 customers have consistently delivered strong community support by donating coats for kids who don’t have adequate winter clothing. “Staying connected with the communities is a key value for West 49,” said Lisa Stuve, marketing manager for West 49. “Many children in our community face a cold winter in the school yards and skate parks dressed in clothing that does not keep them dry and warm and we are encouraging everyone to sift through their closets and donate a coat this year.” Since 2002, more than 88,000 winter coats have been distributed as a result of this program. Everyone who brings in a clean, insulated, gently used winter coat to a West 49 store across Canada will receive $25 off any winter jacket $99 and up, including fashion jackets. Customers who spend more than $99 on outerwear will also receive a $25 bonus card that can be used towards a future purchase in December. West 49 is excited to have Burton sponsoring the program and campaign for the second year. A new promotion has also been added. Purchase any Yea.Nice beanie from West 49, and a donation of a beanie will be made to a homeless shelter on your behalf.

Ball Battle
Morning Star Staff
LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR
Vernon’s Maguire Lauridsen (right) of Thompson Okanagan FC battles Simon Colyn of Surrey United in Under 13 boys soccer action Saturday at Marshall Field. The game ended in a 1-1 draw.
The Penticton Vees’ powerplay still might have a few kinks to work through, but it got the job done Saturday night at the South Okanagan Events Centre. Dante Fabbro’s point shot beat netminder Jarrod Schamerhorn on a man advantage early in the second period as the Vees shaded the Vernon Vipers 1-0 in front of 2,600 B.C. Hockey League fans. The Vees (13-1), who iced the Salmon Arm Silverbacks 3-1 for their 10th straight win Sunday, went 1-for-2 on the powerplay. They are fourth-last (15.63 per cent) in the 16-team loop. Vernon went scoreless on three man advantages and is dead-last (6.78 per cent). “Both teams played pretty hard,” said Vipers’ head coach Mark Ferner. “Again, it came down to special teams. We created some first opportunities, not enough second opportunities. “But I can’t fault our kids’ effort. Third period, we basically played three lines and held them to four shots. “Our compete level is getting better. Now that we have it, we’ve got to sustain it.” Hunter Miska recorded 29 saves for first star and his second shutout of the season. The Stacy, Minn. native shared the love with his defencemen, who have combined to allow a league-
low 25 goals. That is eight fewer than the next nearest team (Merritt has given up 37). “Our defencemen played great tonight,” said Miska. “The Vipers were really trying to come down the boards, but our dee kept pushing them away and turning the pucks over to get them to our forwards. “They are giving me the first shot and I’m making the saves either in my body or sending a good rebound out and we turn the play over to the other end.” Two of Miska’s biggest saves came when he stacked the pads on Mitch Meek early in the second period, and again in the third frame when he stretched out his left pad to deny Vipers’ sniper Thomas Aldworth, who had dangled around Penticton’s defence. The Vees have been the league’s top defensive team the past two seasons, and head coach Fred Harbinson likes what he has seen so far this year, too. “Our goaltending and attention to detail on the defensive side is winning us a lot of games right now,” said Harbinson, who earned his 300th career BCHL win against Vernon. “It’s a mindset of how we want to play here. We don’t play in one direction. We play just as hard, sometimes harder going back to our net.”

Panthers haul Halloween gold at Pen-Hi Invitational Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Panthers lost to the Princess Margaret Mustangs of Penticton in preliminary play, but came through when it counted Saturday in Penticton. The Cats swept the ‘Stangs 25-16, 25-16 to claim gold at the Pen-Hi Lakers Senior Girls Volleyball Halloween Invitational. The Panthers, coached by Keith Becker, came out firing in the final, with great setting from Tanner Lorenson and Ashley Condie, and solid hitting from tourney all-stars Anna Rice and Steph Mintz.
VSS’s lone loss was to Maggie (25-15, 25-19) Friday afternoon, after they had opened with a two-set win (25-9, 25-19) over the West Vancouver Highlanders.

Vernon began Saturday playoffs by sweeping the host Lakers 25-14, 25-17 on the strength of blocking and hitting from middle Courtney Becker. Outside hitting from Kristy Fugal and right side McKenzie Kreeft added extra firepower. In the semis, the Panthers grounded the
Mount Boucherie AAAA Bears of West Kelowna 25-14, 25-23. The Panthers, ranked No. 4 in the provincial AAA loop, are entered in the eight-team Fulton Maroon Senior Girls Invitational, which starts Friday, Nov. 7. In junior boys action, the Maroons rallied past the Abbotsford Christian Knights 15-25, 25-10, 15-11, to secure fifth at the 20-team MEI Eagles tourney Saturday in Abbotsford. Dan Currie’s Maroons went undefeated in round-robin play, grounding West Kelowna’s
Constable Neil Bruce Cubs (25-12, 25-8), Abby Christian (25-19, 25-20) and Surrey’s Earl Marriott Mariners (25-17, 20-25, 15-4). Fulton stuffed the Walnut Grove Gators of Langley 27-25, 25-16 in the round of 16 before bowing to the Langley Christian Lightning 25-21, 25-19 in the quarterfinals. The Maroons have just eight players – Landon Currie, Reece Hawthorne, Brett Hanson, Kurtis Banks, Christian Harpe, Kieran Webster, David Kane and TJ Ward – and have recorded runner-up showings in two other tournaments.

However, North Van capitalized on their limited chances, and the Vipers found themselves down 3-0. Seibel came on in relief of Colmorgen with five minutes left in the second period, recording a sweet pad save in the final minute. The Vipers’ Braeden Schmiegelt quickly moved the puck up ice to Kuhnlein, who buried the 3-1 goal. Kuhnlein, with his second, and Pastro, with a single, completed the offence.

Booth joins ‘Backs Continued from A29
The Vipers will be without defenceman Ryley Booth as they entertain the Merritt Centennials (8-5) Saturday, 6 p.m., at Kal Tire Place. Ferner traded the Armstrong product to the Salmon Arm Silverbacks Tuesday afternoon for future considerations. The move was made to clear up a roster spot for incoming forward Liam Finlay, who Vernon picked up from the Penticton Vees for futures. “We had a logjam at defence and wanted to acquire another forward,” said Vipers executive vicepresident Todd Miller. “There was an opportunity to acquire Liam and he’s a guy who’ll be with our program for a couple of years. Something had to give on the backend.”
KRISTI PATTON/BLACK PRESS
Vernon Vipers’ d-man Kenny Citron (right) ties up Penticton Vees’ forward Lewis Zerter-Gossage in BCHL play Saturday night at the South Okanagan Events Centre. Booth had one goal and three assists in 10 games with Vernon. The 5-foot-7, 145-pound Finlay had 1-4-5 in 10 games with the Vees. He posted 17-34-51 in 28 games with the Okanagan Rockets last season, and is committed to the NCAA Division 1 Denver Pioneers for 201617. “The numbers he’s put up in Major Midget speak for themselves,” said Miller. “It’s just an opportunity to
add some more skill.” In addition to injuries to forwards TJ Dumonceaux and Mackenzie Bauer, several Vipers have fallen ill. “We have some guys starting to get sick so we’ve got to manage it the right way,” said Ferner, noting they play 13 games in November. “You’ve got to give kids a day off here and there and make sure they’re rested.” The Vipers also have a bevy of suspensions to con-
tend with. They had sought an appeal to suspensions stemming from an Oct. 18 line brawl with the West Kelowna Warriors, but the BCHL upheld its original ruling. Forward Riley Brandt (six games) and d-man Brandon Egli (four games) missed Saturday’s tilt as a result. Ferner did not appeal suspensions to netminder Danny Todosychuk (six games) and Booth (two games), who missed both weekend games. SNAKE BITES: Ferner called up Vernon product Jeff Bochon and West Kelowna’s Nicholas Gnazdowsky, both forwards, against the Vees...

Knights regroup Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan Knights continue to take their lumps in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. The Knights, now 2-101-2, capped a three-game Kootenay road swing Sunday afternoon with an 8-2 loss to the Kimberley Dynamiters. They entertain the Princeton Posse (8-4-1-2) tonight, 7 p.m., at Nor-Val Sports Centre. “We’re making progress in the right areas,” said Knights’ head coach Jim Armstrong. “Unfortunately, we’re still making some simple mental mistakes. Team discipline needs to improve if we’re going to start climbing up the ladder.” The 11-3-0-1 Dynamiters, who scored five unanswered first-period goals, did damage on special teams, racking up three powerplay snipes and one shorthanded marker. Both Knights’ goals came in the second period, one by Mitchell Lukacs, the other from Austin Fournier. Drawing assists were Christopher Motoska, Tyler
Mork, Zackari Andrusiak and Logan Geefs. Tyson Klingspohn led Kimberley with a deuce, while Jordan Busch earned 1+2 in support of Liam McBain (25 saves). Knights’ netminder Brady Lenardson allowed six goals on 31 shots before giving way to Mitch Profeit late in the second period. Profeit gave up a pair on 16 shots. Scott Latwat scored with 2:07 to play to spoil Brandon Butler’s shutout as North Okanagan fell 6-1 to the Fernie Ghostriders Saturday at Memorial Arena. Cole Keebler collected a hat trick for the 11-2-0-1 Ghostriders, who got a pair of first-period goals from Josh McCullogh. Profeit made 27 saves on 33 shots, and was replaced by Lenardon 7:42 into period three. North Okanagan’s road trip got off to a rough start Friday as three Knights ended up going to hospital to receive stitches for a number of uncalled infractions in their tilt against Creston Valley.

Ethan Mitchell was a machine for the Magnums, recording six TDs, two resulting from interceptions. Running back Kohl Killingbeck, who rushed for 72 yards, and Jaret Cooper also had solid offensive games for Vernon.

Bridge by Phillip Alder DISTRIBUTION LEADS TO AGGRESSION Joey Adams, a comedian and columnist, said, “The computer can do more work faster than a human because it doesn’t have to answer the phone.” Wouldn’t it be nice if you could phone your friendly bridge pro when you have a problem at the table? How would you analyze the bidding in this deal, and what is West’s best opening lead against four spades doubled? When East opened one diamond, South would have liked to describe his twosuiter immediately, but he could not. A two-diamond Michaels Cue-Bid would have shown both majors, and an Unusual Two-No-trump overcall would have indicated
hearts and clubs (the two lowest-ranking unbid suits). West made a negative double to show four hearts (or perhaps five with insufficient strength to respond two hearts). North cue-bid two diamonds to indicate a maximum pass with at least three-card spade support. Then East jumped to three hearts, which was a slight overbid. Now South decided to keep his club suit hidden. And East’s rebid persuaded West to double four spades. When the opponents bid game and your side has the balance of power, a trump lead is usually best -- as it is here (but admittedly tough to find). After winning the first trick, West shifts to a diamond. South will win with dummy’s ace, play a club to
his ace, and ruff a club, but East can overruff and return his last trump, which results in down two. If West leads a diamond, South just has to be careful to ruff the first club with dummy’s spade eight or 10. Then he can escape for down one.

College showcases career paths at Kelowna fair Morning Star Staff
Okanagan College’s 33rd annual Career Fair is taking over the Kelowna campus Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. From practical nursing to pipefitting, English to engineering, this popular event is free and offers the public an opportunity to gain insights about careers and educational paths. “If you have an idea of where you want to go, but not sure how to get there — a university degree, diploma, certificate, vocational program, apprenticeship training – this is the place to find answers,” said event organizer Michelle Lowry. “All of our programs will be represented and professors and campus staff will be on-hand to advise students, parents and anyone interested in anything related to post-secondary education, including transfer opportunities.” The event also features educational seminars on a wealth of topics and there will be lots of chances to win prizes, including a $500 tuition credit to any Okanagan College program. “All of our trades shops will be open and we’ll have demonstrations going on all day,” said Steve Moores, dean of trades and apprenticeship. “And we’ll have staff there to help people interested in obtaining information about

Faith freedom important
VIT LS 2014 - 2015
I
hosted a forum on religious freedom in Canada in May of this year. The forum exposed some of the policies and social activism that has marginalized religious freedom in Canada. I have studied and discussed the political/faith interface with many colleagues. One of those colleagues is the Saskatchewan MP David Anderson and I will quote his latest paper on the subject which I believe is very relevant in light of events in the Middle East. “At a time when the eyes of the world are fixed on atrocities being committed by ISIL in the name of religion, the notion of religious free-
dom can sound repugnant. It almost appears to imply that ISIL, the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, should be granted some safe measure of safe harbor. “Yet nothing could be further from the truth. In actual fact, there is possibly Colin Mayes no better example of the need for an unequivocal defense of religious freedom than the barbaric actions and baseless ideals of ISIL. Rather than providing protection for ISIL, religious freedom resoundingly condemns their cowardly regime of terror. “Religious freedom

is a fundamental human right which protects three vital individual freedoms: One, the right to freedom of belief or non-belief; two, the right to manifest that religion or belief in teaching, worship, practice and observance; and, three, the right to change your belief. “You can freely choose what you believe and you can freely exercise that belief. What you don’t get to do is restrict the rights of others. Your religious freedom must be exercised in a way that does not infringe on the freedoms of those around you. “Today, religious freedom is under attack from not just one point on the spectrum, but from two extremes which represent polar opposites.

grants enforce exclusive status to only one religion. This has been referred to as the sacred public square. On the other extreme, government seeks to stamp out any expression of religion from public life. This has been called the naked public square. “Both of these approaches are fundamentally flawed for the same reason. They rely on the power of the state to enforce belief or non-belief, focusing on coercion rather than protection. The sacred public square seeks to utilize the power of the state to impose religious belief and practice, while the naked public square seeks to utilize the power of the state to remove all religious belief and practice. Both approaches violate the rights of freedom of conscience, speech and association and neither ensure religious freedom. “Religious freedom is not attained by balancing the right to have faith with the right to have none, but protecting both. Individuals can freely choose to believe, not to believe, or change their beliefs, and to express those beliefs without fear of retaliation or censorship. Like the marketplace, there is free exchange of religious or non-religious ideas and beliefs, much like the free exchange of goods and services which takes place within an economic marketplace. The objective is not to create sameness but to guarantee freedom. Individuals can freely participate without fear of coercion or retaliation, resulting in diversity with harmony. “While ISIL and its sympathizers understand none of this, we must. Because failing to do so will inevitably result in blaming religion for outbursts of radicalization. “And in blaming religion, we will soon find ourselves curtailing religious freedoms, at which point we will be unwillingly complicit with the very attitudes we so vehemently oppose in ISSL.” It would be wise to pay attention to MP Anderson’s comments.
