Candidates share vision for Vernon RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s mayoralty hopefuls all have ambitious plans if they top the polls Nov. 15. All five candidates were asked what they hope to achieve if they are elected to a four-year term during a forum hosted by the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce and the Canadian Home Builders Association at Predator Ridge Resort Tuesday. “It would be fantastic if we had a sense of excitement about Vernon among those here and those who want to be here,” Victor Cumming told the crowd of about 90 people. For Akbal Mund, he wants to focus on growth. “More parks in the community. We need places for our kids to play. We need growth in the resort communities because they bring tourists here,” he said. Klaus Tribes insists his goal is to be responsive to the public’s needs. “I’d love to look back and say, ‘We’ve provided for residents and done a good job,’” he said. A priority for Jamie Morrow is downtown. “Downtown is the heart beat of the city. We need a more active downtown. People living downtown feeds out businesses,” he said. Mary-Jo O’Keefe says a four-year-term would be dedicated to bolstering the economy so there is revenue

for infrastructure and cultural enhancements. “I’d like to create a positive business climate and start to address the dreams we have in the city,” she said. The candidates were also asked what the city’s role is in ensuring the labour market is healthy. “Most of it is in partnerships. I have knowledge and experience with various levels of government,” said O’Keefe, who owns MJO Tours. “I can put people together that can help communities access training.” Mund, a former Wendy’s owner, says training skilled labourers isn’t enough. “We need jobs for them here. How we do we get growth here? It comes from working with developers,” he said. Morrow is a recruiter for Okanagan College. “We have the training and people here and I have the relationships with the college,” he said. Cumming, an economist, believes the city can be proactive in promoting a viable workforce. “We can do and do skill worker recruitment and link the business community to those trying to come here,” he said. Tribes, a retired restaurant owner, says the key to a skilled workforce is economic development. “If people can work and stay in Vernon with their families, they will forgo a

$40-an-hour job in Alberta,” he said. The candidates were also asked about what transportation issues would be a priority if they are elected mayor. “I’d like to see that corrected,” said Morrow of large transport trucks going through downtown. “The biggest thing is a transportation corridor.” Mund supports a truck route but he doesn’t believe highway traffic should be

diverted. “I wouldn’t want a bypass completely around the city. With that, people don’t stop and it kills business.” O’Keefe wants to make it easier for residents in areas like Silver Star and Predator Ridge to access the main core of the city through transit. “We have to work hard with B.C. Transit and we need to invest more in it,” she said. Tribes believes one-way routes may be the best way to

alleviate highway congestion. “It’s not the best solution but it’s the best we have until there is a bypass on Westside Road,” he said. Cumming is pushing for new concepts to reduce traffic demands. “Increase (housing) density and make the trip shorter to neighbourhood facilities. We need fun buses to connect Silver Star and the lakes,” he said of residents accessing amenities.

Serious injuries in highway accident roger knox Morning Star Staff

The drivers of a two-vehicle accident on Highway 6 in Coldstream Wednesday evening were taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital, one with serious injuries. Just before 5:30 p.m., a witness told RCMP that a westbound Volkswagen Jetta veered into the oncoming lane and struck a Dodge pickup waiting to make a left-hand turn at Aberdeen Road. “It is not clear as to why the Jetta crossed the line and the accident is still being followed up on by our officers,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The driver of the Jetta, an 83-year-old Lumby man, suffered serious injuries and, as of Thursday morning, remained in hospital. The driver of the truck, a 61-year-old Coldstream man, was taken to hospital with upper body injuries but was expected to be released from hospital. A violation ticket for failing to keep right was issued to the Lumby man. The highway was closed for a short period as RCMP investigated the accident.

Funds kicked in to salvage soggy soccer fields richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Efforts are underway to salvage Vernon’s primary soccer fields. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee voted Thursday to spend up to $25,000 on immediate capital and operating work needed to improve the quality of the Marshall Field soccer fields. A long-term plan for maintenance will also be created. “There has to be specific attention to get it moving in the right direction,” said director Doug Dirk. The action was taken after a presentation from the Vernon Soccer Association. “They are dangerous to play on,” said Darrell Buckham, VSA fields and facilities director, of the fields. Rain has resulted in holes developing on some the fields while

Improvements to Marshall Field soccer fields is on the books to improve the five fields which are used by players of all ages. pools of water have also formed. “We’ve had bones broken and ankles snapped,” said Buckham, adding that the five fields have been deteriorating for about four to six years. VSA has 2,200 youth and 1,500 adult players using the fields annu-

ally, and Marshall Field is also home to school soccer games, the Okanagan Whitecaps youth soccer program and the regional youth high performance league. There is such a concern about field conditions, that some groups have moved their activities to

Kelowna. “Elite athletes can’t suffer injury because it jeopardizes scholarships or worse,” said Buckham. The Oldtimer’s May tournament attracts more than 55 teams annually. “Players coming to Vernon spend tourism money only to be expected to play on hazardous fields,” said Buckham. “A field petition was circulated at the tournament and includes very negative comments regarding fields.” VSA is offering to work with GVAC and the City of Vernon, the maintenance contractor, to determine what upgrades are needed. The non-profit society has also indicated that it will provide funding. “We need a basic maintenance plan that is relevant. It would help them get up to a playing standard,”

said Buckham. Among the items to be considered are fertilizing, aeration and irrigation scheduling. Some fields may have to be taken out of play so conditions can be improved. “I’ve seen the decline,” said Bob Fleming, GVAC director, a landscaper and a soccer enthusiast. “They can be fine again and rest and rehabilitation is part of it.”

Candidates learn about water RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

The Regional District of North Okanagan is trying to set the record straight over Greater Vernon’s water referendum. All candidates running for elected office in Vernon and Coldstream, as well as those who have David Sewell been acclaimed, have been invited to an information session today at the RDNO office to learn about the process that led to the master water

plan and funding the $70 million project. “We want to make sure that when we give the information, it is widely available,” said David Sewell, chief administrative officer. The election campaign has recently been dominated by questions of how some current politicians could support developing the master water plan and holding a referendum but won’t vote yes during the borrowing referendum Nov. 15. “There is a difference between the process to develop the master water plan and providing asset to meet Interior Health Authority requirements,” said Sewell. Director Catherine Lord supports the information session.

“There is the perception that we don’t like the plan but we do,” said Lord, who stands by the content of the master water plan but will vote no to put pressure on senior government to provide grants as a way of easing the burden on local ratepayers. All of the councillor candidates in Vernon oppose the referendum as do all of the mayoralty candidates except for Mary-Jo O’Keefe. Many of the Coldstream council candidates are also opposed. “This (today’s session) will make it difficult for people with strongly held views when you give them the information,” said Rob Sawatzky, Vernon’s current mayor and RDNO director.

Mayoralty hopefuls square off GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff

Enderby is open for business. That was one of the key talking points Howie Cyr and Greg McCune emphasized at a standing-room-only all candidate forum Tuesday night at the seniors centre. Incumbent Cyr and McCune, a five-term councillor, are both vying for the mayor’s seat on Nov. 15. McCune, 52, operates family-run Sutherland’s Bakery. He sees Enderby as ideally situated in terms of tourism and commerce. “We will be the envy of the Okanagan,” said McCune. “We’re the top of the Okanagan and the gateway to the Shuswap. The opportunities are there for us.” Cyr, a 63-year-old retired RCMP officer, points to two new

Region rallies for Cherryville RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Cherryville’s fight against a logging road is going regional. The Regional District of North Okanagan board instructed staff Wednesday to contact member jurisdictions if they will write letters of support for the community which is concerned B.C. Timber Sales’ plans for a road and ultimate logging on Cherry Ridge could cause landslides. “Residents are frightened about the potential consequences of the road and slides,” said Juliette Cunningham. “When a community is ignored, it’s important for the greater (RDNO) membership to be involved. We need to support them any way we can.”

“It’s important for the membership to be involved.” — Cunningham

Besides letters, it’s expected many regional politicians will attend a public meeting at the Cherryville Community Hall Nov. 13 at 7 p.m. to discuss BCTS and the next course of action. “We support the concerns out there,” said Rick Fairbairn, RDNO chairperson, who hopes middle ground can be found. “The community has put BCTS on notice and BCTS will have to make every effort to comply.” BCTS officials have insisted that proper soil

and hydrological assessments have been done and there is no risk of a slide impacting residents in the valley bottom. However, many Cherryville residents aren’t convinced a thorough review has been done. “We’ve asked them to hold off on the road construction until we did an assessment on our own. They refused,” said Eugene Foisy, Cherryville director. “A portion of the government is bullying

a community that has concerns. They should be willing to listen to the community.” Fois y s ay s Cherryville depends economically on logging and residents aren’t opposed to harvesting, but he insists it must be done sustainably and not pose a threat. “They won’t log until the fall of 2015 so why start the road construction now?” he said. Unless a compromise can be found, Foisy admits some Cherryville residents may attempt to block construction crews at the site as they did last month. “I’m afraid of where it could go,” he said of potential protests.

Consider the source

have to commend a certain actor known for his role as the socially inept but brilliant sleuth Sherlock Holmes. No, not the original Sherlock, Basil Rathbone, or Robert Downey Jr., who has appeared in those recent frenetic Sherlock films, but the tall, distinguished and wonderfully named British thespian Benedict Cumberbatch. I want to congratulate this man who I will likely never meet because of what he did the other day to announce his upcoming nuptials. Forgoing the now usual conventions of announcing a major event on social media, he chose to place a small advertisement in The Kristin Froneman Times – yes, a newspaper. And guess what? The ad, or more apt, the announcement, earned its fair share of notice around the world – without trolls, those bitter and twisted people who like to write nasty comments on social media. Could this possibly mean that newspapers are still relevant? Egad, Watson, turn the page! When others would beg to differ, saying the new media is all on screen, I believe there are those out there that prefer the feel of paper bristling through their fingers. But it’s not just the physical product of what a newspaper presents, but the way the news unfolds, and what should be considered a reliable source. Nowadays, the message is told by a medium that is riddled with untrustworthy sources. What I mean is that we are the ones that are reading what is being posted on Facebook, Twitter, or whatever, from uncredited sources or as not credible as Joe Blow, Chatty Jill and the like and thinking they are reliable. I have news for you. They are not. I don’t think any of these people learned about slander or libel laws in journalism school. That a person should be assumed not guilty until his/her crime is proven in a court of law, or that unnamed sources should not be used

AT RANDOM

except in extreme cases such as personal safety, such as what The Toronto Star did in the case of those woman alleging Jian Ghomeshi of abuse. Speaking of that specific news story, most people were ready to be lawyer, judge and jury, writing their opinions on Twitter and Facebook, and that includes Ghomeshi himself, before an investigation was even started. It seems there is a trend now to skip over the proper procedures that news gatherers are supposed to abide by. We’re all guilty of assuming someone is guilty before the trial, and when there’s mounting evidence of supposed wrongdoing, as in Ghomeshi’s case, then it’s understandable. What troubles me is where we are getting that news, and that opinion. I’ve read some things on Facebook that have made me seethe inside. And then I look at the source, Joe “The Troll” Blow, spouting off at the mouth, that is his keyboard, on something he has not done his research on. The soapbox is definitely not what it used to be. There’s a reason that the community bastion of opinion in a newspaper is called a Letter to the Editor. Letters are edited for slander, libel, taste, meaning, brevity, etc. Some may call that censoring, I call it due diligence. It’s why I still believe, despite my calling in life, that a newspaper is still the best way to share opinion, and make those notable announcements. There’s a middle man or woman that will stop the onslaught of bullying, name calling, and general offence, and that includes on the newspaper’s online product. That way, we, the people, can try to keep the peace and use our judgement when reading or commenting on someone’s life, unless you want to spout a tirade on your own Facebook page. Then have fun with that. I guess it comes down to who do you trust? I gather Mr. Cumberbatch used his little newspaper ad as a way to make his happy, personal statement about his engagement as a way to forgo the frenzied fuss that would have come out of a social media status, or Tweet. I say, good deduction, Mr. Holmes.

When Canadians mark Remembrance Day we tend to reflect back on the courageous service of our fathers and grandfathers on foreign soil so many years ago. The images conveyed through the pages of newspapers and television screens are of grey-haired veterans, medals glistening on the overcoats shielding them from the harsh November winds, wiping away a tear as they mourn the comrades they lost a lifetime ago. The horrors witnessed by these soldiers, and the bravery they showed in the face of that horror, is something all Canadians should take to heart. They sacrificed their innocence, and in many cases their lives, to build a better world for us today. Unfortunately, their selfless acts of courage were not enough to prevent their children and grandchildren from being called upon to sacrifice for their country. That sacrifice was evident to all Canadians and those around the world as the tragedy unfolded last month at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was gunned down as he served as honour guard in front of the monument to Canada’s war dead on Oct. 22. The fatal shooting came only two days after W.O. Patrice Vincent was killed when he and a fellow soldier were struck by a vehicle driven by a suspected terrorist in Quebec. So when we pause to give thanks to those Canadians who sacrificed so much so we could enjoy all we do today, let us also reflect on those sacrifices yet to come. And let us make a promise to ourselves to do whatever we can to prevent them and honour those who will be called upon to make them. It’s the least we can do for those brave men and women who will be standing in a cold, November rain as they think back on the sacrifices being made today. Black Press

FOUR YEARS Four years is a long time. The changing of the length of term for an elected mayor and councillor from three years to four years is not a good thing. In the past two terms of mayor and city council, Vernon residents have witnessed a total lack of common sense, a lack of transparency and a lack of leadership. And frivolous and unnecessary spending. This is your hard-earned tax dollars they are playing with. Vernon and its residents should have the right to recall elected civic officials. When mayor and councillors break promises to serve the residents, lack transparency and breach fiduciary duties, or make costly unpopular decisions, there needs to be the right to recall elected civic officials. The idea isn't perfect, but the public needs to take some power back from watchdogs, such as the city administrator. Four years is a long time to trust those who allow the pet projects, political or cosmetic, wasting taxpayer’s money and narrowing city streets. There are projects and services that truly are required — capital works for rehabilitation and repair and that's where the city's attention

Support the water referendum

ouncil and mayoralty candidates for election in Vernon seem to be approaching the boundaries of dishonesty or ignorance in opposing the proposed upgrades to our water system. After attending one of the open houses run by RDNO about the upcoming water referendum, I learned that: 1. Our current domestic water rates are average or below average when compared to other municipalities that fund 100 per cent of their water costs through user fees. 2. Our current water system does not meet the health guidelines in place across both Canadian provinces and many U.S. states as well. Compared to other provinces, B.C. is behind the times in ensuring these upgrades are in place. 3. The proposal includes commonsense measures such as extending dam

should be focused. I wish I had a crystal ball so I could look forward four years and see what exactly, if anything, would change for the betterment of Vernon and her residents. Never before has Vernon seen residents and businesses protest and march but it happened on 43rd Avenue over the proposed road diet. A political and cosmetic project. Has city hall listened? No, because the proposed road diet for 43rd Avenue is still on the books. Heated exchanges in council chambers between a mayor and city residents should not be happening. This has happened when residents wanted to speak to mayor and council over the relocating of the visitor information centre. Why are these conflicts happening? Is it because of a lack of transparency and what about the fiduciary duty that is owed to Vernon and her residents? Transparency is operating in such a way that it is easy for others to see what actions are performed. It has been defined simply as the perceived quality of intentionally shared information from a sender. Better accountability and transparency is needed in city hall. There is no substitute for integrity and good character and common sense.

Vernon water users. Using RDNO numbers, the cost of the upgrades works out to $1,272 per person for the 55,000 water consumers served by our utility. Viewed that way, the charges are not enormous.

Four years is a long time to trust some of those who want to be elected as councillors and elected as mayor. George Serhan SIGNS UNNECESSARY I was sorry to read that in the recent city council debate over election signs, only two people thought it appropriate to restrict them to private property, and not one person questioned why signs need to be posted at all. We have a free community newspaper that provides ample preelection coverage both in print and online, we have public pre-election forums, and we can talk in person or via social media with our families, friends and neighbours. Citizens who are motivated enough to actually get out and vote don't need signs plastered all over town to tell them who they can vote for. Near where I live, one candidate has posted four signs along the road, one after the other, within the space of a city block. They've also placed a large sign at the previous intersection. Election signs may be recyclable, but in addition to being an eyesore, they're just one more example of how too often we collectively and conveniently forget that the primary

No one gets elected by promising tax increases. But if we swallow this shortterm promise for no water price increase now, be aware that we are all accepting increased risk of both water quality and supply in the longer term. And, if in typical Vernon fashion we decide to punt the problem down the road and do this in 10 years time, the price will only have gone up. For those at or below the poverty line who truly cannot afford an increase in water rates, why not offer a discounted rate for those in hardship? I urge mayoralty and council candidates to do some more homework on the issue before locking in your position. Please think of the entire community’s future rather than just your own election chances. Ritchie Leslie

concept in the reduce-reuse-recycle chain is to reduce what we use. We want to avoid one-use plastic items whenever we can. I'd be happy to see the city fund bylaw officers to remove signs on public land if it would discourage candidates from using them. As it is, with five candidates running for mayor and 14 running for city council in Vernon alone, the biggest loser in the province's local government elections may be the environment. Enforce the bylaw regarding election signs on public property, and maybe over time, they'll be considered unnecessary and unacceptable. Kim Nash FLY THE FLAG Recently, we experienced an outpouring of love and pride for our country following the loss of two soldiers. Yes, Canada is the best country in the world. Only in Canada would you see the leader of a country appear in public at the location of a killing only a day before, as well as appearances at football and hockey games. However, it seems that it always takes an immense tragedy for us to show our patriotism. So I am challenging all

Vernonites, indeed all Canadians, to demonstrate our patriotism all of the time. Fly the Canadian flag all of the time and attend the Remembrance Day ceremonies every year. Wanda Fisher

promised. “I want to commend (director of instruction for teaching personnel) Diane Rhenisch for the organization she’s done and the principals and counsellors who at the last minute organize and fixed everything.” Rogers added that keeping the money in the classrooms has been a key factor in the recent decision to make cuts to busing in the district. “We spend $2 million a year on busing, with the cuts we’ve saved $175,000, which is three teachers or five or six CEAs, so it’s a big savings,” he said. But based on the number of concerns brought forth by parents, a committee to look at busing will be formed, made up of Rogers, two school trustees, two parents nominated by DPAC, two school administrators and transportation supervisor Robyn Stephenson. “And we will look to see if there are ways we can creatively do this to solve the issues of busing,” said Rogers.

Voting urged Morning Star Staff

Vernon is asking voters to use social media to help share the importance of voting Nov. 15. Residents can use the #ivotedvernon hashtag on Twitter. “Using Facebook and Twitter, voters can post selfies wearing an I Voted sticker that will be handed out at all voting locations, including advance and regular polls,” said Tanya Laing Gahr, the city’s communications co-ordinator. The city will retweet any #ivotedvernon posts to its followers. For up-to-date election results after the polls close Nov. 15, follow @CityofVernon on Twitter and www. facebook.com/ CityofVernon.

Both candidates were in favour of the digital sign, with Halvorson saying: “A lot of communities I talk to would like to advertise on that. I would definitely support that and put dollars towards it.” While originally opposed to the sign, Pearase has grudgingly come to see value in it. However, she would like to see an agreement worked out that would make it more inclusive for Area F communities. “I have found it to be less obnoxious than I thought it was going to be,” said Pearase. “And I’ve heard from community groups that they do want to use it.

Monashee Community Forest ANNOUNCEMENT

Cyclist sent to VJH ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

The Monashee Community Forest (MCF) is pleased to announce its 2014 harvesting activities have commenced. Under the direction of a registered forestry professional, utilizing forestry sciences and industry best practices, a Lumby contractor is now logging and delivering logs to a number of small to large mill operations. These mill operations provide a significant number of sustainable, well-paying jobs to area residents and we are thankful for them. In the coming weeks the MCF expects to make another profit distribution to its partners, who can then use the funds to invest and strengthen their communities. The MCF would like to thank the many local customers and suppliers who contribute to the ongoing success of this partnership. On behalf of the Monashee Community Forest Management Committee, Rick Fairbairn | President MonasheeCF@lumby.ca

A cyclist suffered a possible broken leg and other injuries after being struck by a vehicle Wednesday. Shortly before 5 p.m., a witness told RCMP that the male cyclist was allegedly on the wrong side of the road on 20th Street when he turned into the path of a truck at the intersection of 43rd Avenue. “The witness said the impact sent the cyclist flying,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The Vernon cyclist, 28, was wearing a helmet. He was transported to Vernon Jubilee Hospital for treatment of his injuries. The driver of the truck, a 53-year-old Vernon woman, was not STEVE WENSLEY PHOTO injured. Her vehicle suffered several thousand dollars in damage Emergency personnel assist a cyclist that as a result of the collision. was hit by a vehicle Wednesday.

tive justice program but not as much as anticipated. Council agreed Monday to provide $500 for the Restorative Justice Society, far short of the $2,528 the nonprofit organization was seeking. “That’s what we’ve been giving them,” said Coun. Lori Mindnich of the $500. There is also a concern the village has

not received sufficient information on the initiative. “We’ve been asking for a per capita funding model but they keep sending us the same (request) letter,” said Mindnich. All communities are being asked to provide funding based on case loads arising from those jurisdictions. Through restorative justice, people who have committed an offence meet with the victim to talk about what happened and what can be done to correct the situation. If possible, it is a way for the offender to remain out of jail and turn their life around. “It’s a great program,” said Mayor Kevin Acton, adding that the village recently used the service after an offense. “The people who did the harm met with us.” Acton says restorative justice is important because it makes individuals responsible for their actions but keeps them out of the cycle of jail and crime. “People make mistakes and if you make one, why should it ruin your life?” he said. “Right the wrong and take your lumps. If you end up in prison, it’s a different experience.”

Council rejects program funds RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Enderby politicians see value to restorative justice but they won’t contribute tax dollars. Council decided Monday not to provide $2,528 to the Restorative Justice Society. “This is a provincial matter,” said Mayor Howie Cyr of the justice system. “The provincial government should be funding this and not the community. It’s downloading.” Through restorative justice, people who have committed an offence meet with the victim to talk about what happened and what can be done to correct the situation. If possible, it is a way for the offender to remain out of jail and turn their life around. The grant request was based on about three per cent of the society’s cases coming from Enderby. “This funding request supports continued restorative justice services within the North Okanagan and specifically as indicated within your communities,” said Carole Lyons, society president, in a letter. Cyr, a retired RCMP officer, says he appreciates the efforts of the restorative justice society but insists there is only so much the community can do. “We have so many other financial pressures and we want the government to step up to the plate,” he said.

Shelter beds open Morning Star Staff

The provincial government will fund 10 extreme weather shelter spaces in Vernon this winter to help individuals whose health and safety may be threatened by cold, wet weather. The temporary spaces, located at John Howard Society’s Gateway House, 2800 33rd St., will be available from now until March 31 as communities issue extreme weather alerts for their area. “We’re fast approaching the winter months, and these extreme weather shelter spaces will ensure that anyone who is in need of shelter when cold weather hits can find one,” said Eric Foster, VernonMonashee MLA. “These spaces will provide a warm space for our most vulnerable citizens and potentially save lives.” Each community decides what weather conditions warrant an alert and how many spaces to activate on a given night.

SOMETHING GREAT

Deer tuberculosis focus of project

IS COMING! BandsOnTheRun.Ca READ ALL ABOUT IT ON PAGE

Morning Star Staff

Deer hunters in the Cherryville area (wildlife management unit 8-23) are being asked to assist with a project to confirm deer are not infected with bovine tuberculosis. Hunters are encouraged to drop off the heads of any white-tailed or mule deer at collection freezers at Frank’s General Store (1139 Highway 6) or RT Ranch Sausage and Custom Cutting (39 Byers Rd.). Bags and identification tags will be provided at the freezers. Arrangements can also be made to drop them off in Lumby by calling Susan Latimer at 250-547-9207. Antlers are to be removed because they take up too much freezer space. In 2011, seven cases of bovine tuberculosis were found in local livestock. Monitoring is in place, and there have been no reported cases since then, but a working group of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, the Ministry of Forests and the Ministry of Agriculture are undertaking this study to ensure that the disease has not transferred to deer in the area. “So far, there is no indication that deer in the area are infected, but undertaking the study is an important step to confirm the disease is not present.” states the Ministry of Forests. “There are no specific signs of early infections of tuberculosis in animals. In some cases the only signs are microscopic so an apparently healthy animal may be affected. Because of this, testing for tuberculosis in wildlife is challenging. Examining lymph nodes (glands) in the head and the lungs can give an indication of disease presence, which is why obtaining hunter samples for detailed study is so important.” Bovine tuberculosis is a highly contagious disease that can debilitate and kill deer, moose, elk and cattle. The bacteria are primarily transmitted through close contact, coughing and sneezing, although fecal and urine contamination of shared feed and water sources can be involved. Infection is more likely to occur when there is close contact between individual animals, so high animal densities can play a role. The type of tuberculosis that occurs in wildlife and cattle can infect humans but this is very rare. To prevent transmission, hunters should thoroughly cook meat and routinely wash their hands and wear gloves when field dressing game.

Vipers sneak past Smoke Eaters KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

A 10-win team with a water pistol attack a year ago, the newlook Trail Smoke Eaters are now loaded with offence and serious about making the playoffs. The Vernon Vipers caught the Smokies – with eight victories through 15 games – on an off night Wednesday, winning 4-1 before 1,600 B.C. Hockey League fans at Kal Tire Place. “That was one of our worst games this year,” said Trail forward Harlan Orr, a Vernon product. “We didn’t really have anything going systems wise. We weren’t doing what we wanna be doing, it’s simple as that.” Trail head coach/GM Nick Deschenes swung several trades late last year and brought in veterans like Orr and former Viper Craig Martin. Deschenes also recruited Connecticut sniper Charlie Zuccarini and a pair of d-men from the same state. “I think we have the guys in the room that can do the job,” said Orr, who has three goals and nine points. “Definitely, every game is important, but the guys weren’t prepared enough tonight and that’s what happens. I think we can beat anyone with the lineup we have.” Orr, who previously played for the Alberni Valley Bulldogs and Salmon Arm Silverbacks, is on a line with Scott Davidson and Bryan Basilico, who led the Smokies with 16 goals apiece last season. The Vipers (9-5-0-1) had a little more energy than the Smokies (8-7) and got goals from all three top lines to move into sole possession of third place in the super tight Interior Division, one point ahead of the Merritt Centennials, 5-1 losers to the host Langley Rivermen. “At first, I felt we were kind of on our heels a bit,” said Vernon alternate captain T.J. Dumonceaux, who

Smokies’ d-man Bryan Gerstenfeld (No. 23) tries to hold up Voltin, who scored Vernon’s first goal in a 4-1 win. is spearheading a Movember movement on his Facebook page. “We had a lot of turnovers in the neutral zone in the first period and we don’t like to do that. Both goalies played well and it could have went either way, but we came out on top so we’re pretty happy.” After a rather listless and sloppy first period, Luke Voltin raced down the right wall and buried a feed from Jagger Williamson, a wrister beating rookie Brett Clark, blocker side, at 5:28 of the second period. Kienan Scott equalized on a breakaway three minutes later, picking off an errant pass by d-man Johnny Coughlin at the Smokies’ blueline. A delayed slashing penalty to Coughlin was wiped out as Scott

wired his fourth of the year. Viper rookies Linden Hora and Branden Wagner worked a sweet two-on-one with eight minutes left in the middle frame, but Clark stoned Wagner. Vernon leading goalman Thomas Aldworth then set up Trevor Fidler in the midslot, but he nailed Clark right in the crest. The Vipers moved in front with 44 seconds to play in the period when Dumonceaux netted his third after Clark had denied Liam Coughlin in tight on the powerplay. Just 2:36 into the final session, Fidler battled for a loose puck in the right corner and fed Anthony Latina, who was untouched in the high slot, for his seventh. The Smokies mustered just six of their 26 shots in the third, losing most of the 50-50 battles and rarely driving the net. Liam Coughlin

closed the scoring on an empty netter with 1:53 to play. Clark was solid as he gave veteran Adam Todd the night off, making 36 saves in his third start. Jarrod Schamerhorn was sharp for Vernon, improving to 6-5. Fidler, who now has 11 points, made an impact all over the rink playing on a unit with Latina and Hora. “Our first period was alright, but we picked it up in the second and third,” said Fidler, who was in the stands talking to his dad back in Boston moments after the win. “Overall, I think we played a pretty good game. We have to bear down on our chances; we had a lot of twoon-ones and then we finally buried them.” The 19-year-old ex-USHL buzzsaw likes the Vipers’ shape since Mark Ferner returned as head

coach early in the season. “We’re a structured team that works hard. Ferner came right in and started adjusting things right away. He got us doing systems and we’re doing fine with all the systems he has given us. It’s definitely a step up and everything’s much faster and everybody’s bigger and stronger, but I’m loving it.” Trail assistant coach Barry Zanier was rather stunned by the Smokies’ lack of exertion. “We’re pretty disappointed,” he said. “It was probably one of our poorest games. It’s hard to believe you can come into this building and not be pumped up to play, but unfortunately, that was the case tonight.” The Smokies, without all-star power forward Dallas Calvin (in sick bay), are pleasing their Cominco Arena faithful with an exciting brand of hockey. Asked about the team’s identity, Zanier replied: “For most of the season, it’s been hard work. Tonight was the exception. We definitely need to get that back, starting tomorrow in practice. We play well at home and we have a five-game homestand coming up which is big.” The West Kelowna Warriors stopped the Penticton Vees’ win streak at 13 games with a 3-2 victory in front of 2,500 fans at the South Okanagan Events Centre. West Kelowna is second at 10-5-0-2. The Vees, who are without leading scorer Tyson Jost and d-man Dante Fabbro (at the World Under 17 Challenge in Sarnia, Ont.), are 16-2, 10 points ahead of the Warriors. SNAKE BITES: Vernon’s Curtis Lazar is staying put with the Ottawa Senators, who chose not to send their first-round draft back to the Edmonton Oil Kings after nine games...Nicholas Gnazdowsky of the KIJHL Kelowna Heat was an AP with Vernon, who are without injured F Mackenzie Bauer and suspended F Riley Brandt...Vernon visits Salmon Arm tonight with the Silverbacks here Saturday at 6 p.m.

Maroons pull double dip Morning Star Staff

The Fulton Maroons have claimed both the North Zone senior AA girls and boys volleyball titles. Sharon Shaigec’s girls swept all three matches Tuesday night at Fulton, icing the Pleasant Valley Saints 25-10, 25-18, the Revelstoke Avalanche 25-7, 25-17 and the Kalamalka Lakers 25-22, 25-19. Fulton will host the Okanagan Valley Championships Nov. 14-15. Nazarena Wurz recorded 33 kills for the night from the power position. Middle Brittany Skrenek chipped in 11 kills and three stuff blocks. “The girls were on a mission from the start of the first game,” said Shaigec. “The goal for the night was to be North Zone champions, and host the Valleys. There is only one berth designated from the Okanagan zone to provincials so we will have to compete hard.” No. 6 Princess Margaret Mustangs of Penticton will be the team to beat at Valleys. “Setter Nicole Olson was at her best so far this season, controlling the offence with composure and intelligent set selection,” added Shaigec. “I was also very impressed with the defensive saves from Aryana Jacura, Lee Richardson, Megan Rouault, and Erin Sakamoto. Great defence wins games and the girls didn’t let many balls go to the ground.” The 24th annual Senior Lady Maroons Volleyball Tournament opens today at 12:30 p.m. with the finals set for Saturday at 2 p.m. Fulton opens the eight-team event versus the NorKam Saints. Richard Bedard’s senior AA boys also went undefeated in taking the zone crown Wednesday night at Fulton. The Maroons grounded Revelstoke 25-12, 25-15, 25-14 in the final after dispatching the Seaton Sonics 25-16, 25-27, 15-6. The Vernon Christian School Royals struck double gold Tuesday night. The senior girls took their first ever North Okanagan A championship, stopping the Eagle River Talons of Sicamous 25-13, 25-15 in the final. The Royals defeated the Charles Bloom Timberwolves of Lumby 29-29, 22-25, 15-13 in a thriller semifinal. “The two teams were extremely well matched. It could have gone either way,” said Royals’ coach Jason Reedyk on the semifinal.

The North Okanagan Knights are fast becoming a special teams oddity in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. Despite receiving the second-most powerplay opportunities in the KIJHL (139), the Knights’ man advantage has converted a league-low seven goals. They went 0-for-6 in Wednesday night’s 3-1 loss to the Chase Heat at Nor-Val Sports Centre. North Okanagan, last in the league at 2-14-1-2, has also been shorthanded more than any other team (158 times on the penalty kill), meaning they don’t spend much time at even strength. Their lack of discipline was a factor against the 7-9-1-2 Heat, who clicked twice on the man advantage, including the game’s first goal by Braden Hughes on a 5-on-3. Travis Beaubien made it 2-0 on a second-period powerplay and Cody Hodges put the visitors comfortably ahead with 1:34 to play in the frame. “Discipline played a huge part in the game,” said Knights’ head coach Jim Armstrong. “Our biggest fault right now is the attention to detail and not doing the little things to win a game.”

Fulton Maroons’ Danny Aspenlieder (No. 7) smashes the ball past three Seaton Sonic blockers in North Zone senior AA boys playoff action Wednesday at Fulton gym. On the senior boys side, the Royals downed the A.L. Fortune Falcons of Enderby 25-6, 25-18, 25-9 in the final. The senior boys are in Clearwater today for the Valley playdowns and the senior girls head to Kamloops, Nov. 14-15, for their playoffs.

Knights succumb to Heat Morning Star Staff

To place a classified ad call:

The Knights will be looking to snap a sixgame losing streak when they host the Kelowna Chiefs (6-10-2-1) tonight (7:30) at Nor-Val. The Summerland Steam (10-7) are in town for a 3 p.m. Sunday matinee. The Chiefs and Steam skated to a 3-3 draw Sunday. Armstrong was pleased to see North Okanagan push back in the third period against Chase. The result was Mitchell Lukacs’ fifth goal of the season, a nice solo effort as he drove to the net from the sidewall to beat Daniel Toews with a top-shelf forehand-backhand. “It’s not like we’re not getting chances,” said Armstrong. “We’ve had more chances in the last three games than we’ve had in the last 10. We just can’t seem to buy a bounce.” The Knights are hoping to have Jordan Passmore, acquired in a trade with the Heat on Monday, in tonight’s lineup. The 18-year-old Kamloops product missed Wednesday’s game with the flu. “He’s going to be a big addition to the team,” said Armstrong. “He’s 6-foot-2, 220 pounds, scores and provides a good net presence. He’ll create time and space for players that need it.”

Magnums shine Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Peters Tirecraft Magnums spread out the offence as they opened the Southern Interior Pee Wee Football Conference playoffs Sunday afternoon. The Magnums got touchdowns from four different players as they lassoed the Kamloops Broncos 39-0 at Grahame Park. Noteworthy offensive performances were turned in by Ethan Mitchell, Fraser O’Brien, Michael Swanson and Kohl Killingbeck, who combined to rush for 247 yards. The Magnums shut down Kamloops’ attack through solid defensive efforts by Taber McLean, Quinn Thiessen, Thomas Neid-Blenkin and Rasheed Hashi. The Magnums visit the Colts in Salmon Arm this weekend in secondround action. In Junior Bantam playoff action, the Magnums also got off to a tremendous first-round start, pummelling the Kelowna Riders 41-0 Sunday at Grahame. Quarterback Zack Smith racked up 165 passing yards to go along with 80 rushing yards, including a touchdown. Isaiah Ondrik turned in a fantastic two-way effort, supplying three touchdowns, a field goal, four tackles and

a sack. Vernon’s O-line played great and received some nice pass blocks from Ethan Schiman. Other standout efforts came from Trey Winstanley (40 yards rushing, 27-yard TD, four tackles) and Charles Lemay (five tackles, interception). “This game was a total team effort. We seem to be peaking at the right time,” said offensive coordinator Brian Craig. “Our defence hasn’t been scored on in the last two games and the offence is running on all cylinders.” Vernon hosts the Kelowna Mission Lions in semifinal play Sunday, 2 p.m., at Grahame. The Atom Magnums bowed out of the playoffs after a 32-14 loss to the host Kamloops Broncos on Sunday. Vernon dropped its first three games of the season, but turned it around big-time to win their last three. Atom Magnums include: Aiden Lawrence, Brady Devries, Brayden (Balraj) Khun Khun, Carston Disher, Dillian Rinkel, Dominick Kitzman, Grady Krause, Gunnar Nyberg, Hudson Kibblewhite, Issiaha Grant, Jace Collard, Jaedon Graig, Landon Ramsey, Lochlen Kilford, Morgan Hackman, Nate Yablonski, Reid Williamson and Seth Holte.

Just Orange gains draw Continued from A24

Jim Brodoway and Bryton Stead also scored for Nedco, while Jeremy Pogue, Laurila and Tim Ufimtseff replied for the Snakes. The Stars tied Salmon Arm Sting 2-2 in a Sunday matinee at Pat Duke Memorial Arena. Lumby went in front 1-0 on Salmon Arm as Conner Fair converted on the powerplay, assists to Kyle Beerstra and Logan Meier. D-men Cody Bauml and Reid Hackett played the whole first period without a break for the shortstaffed Stars. Salmon Arm levelled the score just before ice clean and went ahead four minutes into the third. One minute later, Lumby tied it on a nice slap shot by Bauml. Two goals in the second half and a remarkable penalty kill late in the game helped the Interior Savings Just Orange gain a 2-2 tie with the hometown Winfield Bruins in North Okanagan Bantam Super League action Sunday night. After spotting the hosts a 2-0 lead through the midway ice clean, Evan Trottier got the Orange on the board late in the second period, one-timing a beautiful pass from Michael Pusey. After some sustained pressure resulted in a face-off in Winfield territory, Chase Batchelor cleanly won the draw back to Dakota Becker at the left point. Becker walked in and rifled a wrister top corner midway through the third period to equalize. Just Orange committed four body checking penalties in the final four minutes, resulting in the Bruins having a five-on-three for the rest of the

game. The Interior Savings penalty killers denied the Bruins. Batchelor dangled through four Bruins before being stopped in close by the goalie for the best shorthanded chance. Forwards Luca Maric and Jordan Romailler had strong games in support of steady goalies Sam Knox and Caedon Bellmann. The DCT Chambers Coyotes grounded the Salmon Arm Fix Auto Senators 5-3 in Bantam play Sunday at Kal Tire Place. Smooth skating d-man Colton Schaper-Kotter counted 1+3, while Jacob Baycroft, Will Higgins-Wilson, Chris Aldrich and Landen Harison also scored in front of goalies Craig Garnett and Isaac Waldemaras. The Coyote Truckers fell 4-3 to Super League leading North Okanagan Knights in Saturday exhibition play. Aldrich, Schaper-Kotter and Zack Laranjo had snipes for the Coyotes. Devon Rempel, Liam Dill, Rhys Smith and Brett Harder acored for the Knights. Ryan Vandesande and Ephren Potter-Cramer each scored twice as Billy D’s Restaurant Rebels clipped Butcher Boys Snipers 7-6 in Pee Wee play Saturday at Kal Tire Place. Zachary Manthorne, Liam Reid and Nicolas Petty also had snipes for the Rebels, who used Jakob Aiechele and Kassidy Schaper-Kotter in net. Lumby (Terry’s Automotive and Irly Bird Building Centre) stuffed the visiting Salmon Arm Leko Precast Sumarias 9-3 in Atom action Sunday. Riley Dewhurst earned the Stars’ hard hat for extra effort in the win.

A tragic Wednesday in Ottawa

n Oct. 22, my Wednesday routine started with my arrival at my Parliament Hill office at 6:30 a.m. and then off to the mid-week

Parliament Hill prayer breakfast at 7:15 a.m., followed by an 8:15 a.m. B.C. caucus meeting, then off to national caucus at 9:30 a.m. After we finished

the usual robust singing of O Canada, our caucus settled to be briefed by our House pleader. Soon after the House leader, the prime minister began his

review of domestic and international events. Just into his presentation, there was a large bang, then another. The sounds were just coming from the other side of the wall and I was within six feet of the back of the room. Not until the second and third bang did we all stand up.

The first response of MPs was to get the prime minister out, and then our next reaction was to head for an exit but not knowing what was in the hall on the other side of the door I stopped and thought, no, what I needed to do was find a way out of here. I looked at a window about seven

Pyschosis focus of new IHA program IS COMING! BandsOnTheRun.Ca SOMETHING GREAT

Morning Star Staff

A new website developed by regional health authorities is bringing together services and tools from across B.C. to help families and young people experiencing psychosis access early assessment and treatment. “We know that psychosis usually begins when people are in their youth – a very critical time in their growth and development,” said David Harrhy, Interior Health Authority’s network director for mental health and substance use. “It’s really important that we can begin treating psychosis early, so that young people can make a successful recovery and move on toward building healthy and productive futures. This website will play an important role.” The site, www.earlypsychosis.ca, delivers psychosis information from across the province right to the fingertips of youth and their families. Users can find services available in the Interior, and can also access toolkits for dealing with psychosis, a family coping booklet, and information on relapse prevention and stress management, among others. In addition to information for families, clients and community supports like teachers and counsellors, the site also links to other mental health sites and personal stories. About three per cent of people will experience a psychotic episode at some stage in their life, with the first episode most commonly occurring in adolescence or early adulthood. Psychosis is a serious condition where the brain has difficulty differentiating between fantasy and reality. Research shows that individuals who experience symptoms of psychosis will struggle for up to two years before they access treatment.

This is, in part, because of the stigma attached to mental health challenges

such as psychosis. “The goal of the website is to give people the

resources to learn more about psychosis and to understand that it is

treatable, just like any other health issue,” said Harrhy.

News School trustees looking to continue roles KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff

Three incumbent trustees want to remain involved in the Vernon School District. As one of seven candidates vying for one of four spots representing Vernon and Areas B and C, incumbent Kelly Smith hopes to be reelected to continue the work she began three years ago. “My first term as a school trustee was challenging,” she said. “The term started with a strike and ended with negotiated contracts in place for nearly all employee groups. There was much to learn and I did my homework. “With my experience, the relationships that I have established and the knowledge I have gained, I am looking forward to another term and exciting times in our public education system.” Smith said B.C. school trustees are at a crossroads and said it’s critical that their voice is heard by the provincial government. “It is very important that we engage our community in the work that trustees do,” she said. “We must seek their input in more creative ways because at this time, there are members of our community who feel that they have not been included.” And, while decreased funding continues to be an issue, Smith said classroom composition also needs to be addressed. “There are many special needs that our teachers deal with every day and some of those needs require support from other professionals. In order to ensure

that every student has review of transportation an opportunity to meet is needed. their potential, we must “More dialogue needs find a way to provide that to continue to idensupport,” she tify how to said. address these Smith is a concerns; the retired teacher school district with 33 years simply does of experience. not have funds Incumbent to increase J o h n transportation A r m s t r o n g John Armstrong routes and is also seekstops where ing re-election infrastructure after his first improvements three-year are needed.” term on the Armstrong board. is program “I have perdirector for sonally gained the Vernon Ski experience and Club.

We have to look for alternatives to asking/demanding/ begging the provincial government for more resources for our schools and classrooms.” As a member of the Okanagan Indian Band, Bono wants to see an improvement in graduation rates of aboriginal students, although she added that this district is doing well compared to other B.C. districts. “We are about the same as we were three years ago, however the graduation rate of First Nations students, especially from the Okanagan band, needs improvement,” she said. As a member of the OKIB and the larger aboriginal community in Vernon, Bono hopes to get involved with the aboriginal education committee. “I have a lot of insight to offer and can provide some guidance to our district and I am certain-

ly willing and able to do that,” she said. Also running for trustee in Vernon and Areas B and C are former trustees Steve Connor and Perry Wainwright and newcomers Lisa de Boer and Brenda Giffin. Coldstream incumbent trustee Bill Turanski is going up against Robert Lee Nov. 15.

Vernon-raised artist Andrew Allen is making a name for himself in L.A. but never forgets where his heart lies Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

From Vernon to L.A. and soon Ethiopia, Andrew Allen has had quite the ride since he was a student at Kalamalka Secondary School and fronting bands with his trademark voice and spiky hair. The voice and hair are still there, but more than a decade later, Allen is now living the dream in L.A., and trying to make a difference. While his career as a singer-songwriter is soaring, Allen never forgets where he comes from, or where he’s been. Seen recently on TV performing on the Canadian version of The Bachelor, Allen is also preparing to return home to Vernon for a concert Dec. 3 that is in support of a new endeavour he is embarking on (more on that later). “It’s been a fun couple of months,” said Allen, whose days in sunny L.A. are mostly spent penning songs not only for himself but with other artists, some of whom have been getting major airplay as of late, including the guys from Magic! and Meghan Trainor (of All About that Bass fame), who are friends Allen has made on the L.A. songwriting circuit. Last year, Allen saw one of his co-penned songs (Last Chance) appear on EDM artist Kaskade’s album Atmosphere, which was nominated for Best Dance/Electronica Album at the 2014 Grammys. “With that EDM song, I got to write something that was beautiful and they put in the beat,” he said. Another one of Allen’s songs is about to be released by Marco Mengoni of Italy. “I was at a wedding with a bunch of Italians, and when I told them the guy’s name, they were like ‘he’s huge in Italy.’” The winner of The Voice in Germany is also recording two of Allen’s songs for his upcoming project. “It’s a good retirement fund. It gives me an opportunity to get my music out there and also to write for me. I’m still writing stuff that I’m passionate about,” said Allen. Allen is also getting ready to return to his old stomping grounds with a new Christmas EP (extended play) album and concert that comes to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Dec. 3.

Vernon raised singer-songwriter-musician Andrew Allen is getting ready to return to Vernon on his All Hearts Come Home Christmas show Dec. 3, in support of his upcoming trip to Ethiopia. Entitled All Hearts Come Home, Allen has recorded six Christmas songs, including a new rendition of his hit single, I Wanna Be (Your Christmas), and plays the ukulele on all the tracks (the EP comes out today on iTunes). “Christmas is so fun and I love the traditional songs. I also love the beachy feel, plunking away on ukulele,” said Allen, who started playing the instrument a couple of years ago and saw his song, 7 Days, where he plays the ukulele, appear on The Big C soundtrack. Two guest singers also appear on the EP, including Hamilton’s Maggie Szabo, who now lives in L.A. – “Us Canadians find each other somehow,” explains Allen – and 14-year-old Vernon protegée Olivia Penalva, who sings

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. “I have taken Olivia under my wing. She has such an incredible voice and has the drive and ambition. She has made a couple trips to L.A. and has written with incredible writers. She has her own Christmas single and some exciting plans coming on the horizon.” Penalva will join Allen as part of his All Hearts Come Home concert in Vernon, as well as special guest, fellow Vernon artist Jodi Pederson, who has been gaining notice as one of the finalists of this year’s Peak Performance Project. Rising artist Shawn Hook, who was raised in South Slocan, will also be performing. “We did a show together in L.A. at the origi-

nal Bachelor pad in Malibu,” said Allen, adding, “It gets crazy the closer you get to Christmas. I remember that about Vernon. I had so much fun performing at the Performing Arts Centre last year. Everyone who came had such a good time.” Allen is donating some of the proceeds from the concert towards a trip he and two fans will be taking to Ethiopia, Africa in the spring. The trip is with a humanitarian organization based out of Medicine Hat. Founded by Richard and Deborah Northcott after they adopted two orphans from Ethiopia, The Canadian Humanitarian has opened five education centres in the East African nation. “They offer after-school programs for atrisk youth,” said Allen. “Doctors and teachers are also brought in to help, and some of the students have gone on to train as doctors themselves with the help of the organization. “When they came to me, I thought it would be better to send money there. After chatting with them on what the organization is about, I thought I’d like to go instead,” said Allen.“Thankfully, there are lots of resources in North America for people to be fed, clothed and housed. In Africa, kids are sleeping on a rock bed and some are dead by the age of 15.” Allen is offering the opportunity to bring two fans with him – one Canadian and one American – through Canadian Humanitarian and Kids Hope Ethiopia. The two-week trip will begin March 28 and will have a music focus. “You don’t have to be a musician to win the trip as we’ll be doing a ton of other stuff while we’re there,” said Allen. “We will visit the community centres to talk to students about the music industry and also put on a performance for the whole community.” Those wishing to accompany Allen will be able to apply by uploading a video, showing how they’re currently serving/making the world a better place. Videos can be sent to the Andrew Allen Expedition website (address was not available at press time) between Nov. 16 and Dec. 12. The public will be able to vote on the best video from Dec. 12 to 24. The five best videos will then go to a judged vote from Dec. 25 to 31, and the two winners will be announced Jan. 1. “They will need to push their videos to get as many votes as possible. That way, regardless if they win the trip or not, they get exposure for their cause,” said Allen. Tickets for Allen’s All Hearts Come Home concert Dec. 3 at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre, are $30/adult and $25/student at the Ticket Seller, 549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.

Gyllenhaal creeps into role

Nightcrawler

ou Bloom (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a young, unemployed man living in Los Angeles. Desperate for employment he stumbles upon the sensationalist world of TV news gathering. He buys a video Taylor and Howe camera and a police scanner and claws his way onto a local news broadcast. A news veteran, Nina (Rene Russo), impressed by his footage, encourages Bloom to get more. Bloom becomes part of the story when it becomes clear that he’ll do anything to get it. We say, “If it bleeds, it leads.” TAYLOR: Sociopaths are folks who have unusual thought processes that can range from being anti-social to a full-blown psychopath. I’m not a psychologist but I’ve done a bit of research on the matter. I think we should call Bloom an American sociopath, because although he’s usually unemotional, doesn’t seem to have any moral compass and displays obsessive

He doesn’t care about anyone or anything, other than getting the footage people are dying for. HOWE: Well, he cares for nothing except getting a pay cheque. I thought this was a well put together movie from

the acting to the final cut. It is a very crisp, flashy film. Gyllenhaal comes across very well as the creepy character he is meant to portray and I know for sure I would not want to work for someone like him. TAYLOR: I agree that it is well put together and especially well shot. Here is a film where most of it takes place at night, yet this film is clear, bright and full of colour. Not

since Collateral has there been a night film this colourful. Gyllenhaal’s performance is studied and masterful. His Bloom might be the character of the year. I certainly wouldn’t be surprised or displeased if he was nominated for best actor. Bloom is a man who is scrawny and greasy, bug eyes staring at you until you feel uncomfortable. He is perpetually looking like he’s about to snap, yet deceptively brilliant, oddly charming. Just don’t fall short of satisfying his calculated desires, you may end up being on the six o’clock news. HOWE: We also got some good supporting roles from Russo and Bloom’s assistant, Rick (Riz Ahmed). Russo did a fine job as the overworked and stressed news veteran for the TV studio. I feel this has been one of her strongest roles in a very long time. It’s the first time I have seen Ahmed, but I don’t think this was a one-off for him. His Rick character complemented Gyllenhaal’s craziness by being calm, intimidated and trapped by his employer. – Taylor gives Nightcrawler 4.5 plants out of 5. – Howe gives it 4 handy cams out of 5.

Locally made film wins big at HorrorFest Morning Star Staff

With movie stars Anthony Hopkins and Ray Liotta about to arrive in the North Okanagan to start filming the thriller Go With Me, an independent film shot in Vernon is generating its own kind of buzz. Short film The Phoenix Solution just picked up two awards at the Okanagan

Society of Independent Filmmaking’s sixth annual HorrorFest, Saturday at Kelowna’s The Film Factory. “We shot the film in August and September right here in Vernon with a small local crew and we just won best picture, tied for best FX and makeup and won best death,” said Vernon’s Randy Kirk, who wrote and direct-

ed the film and produced it with his son, Ryan Kirk, through their One Inch Punch Productions company. The 15 minute short is about a disgruntled ex-employee and computer geek named Phoenix (played by The Morning Star’s movie reviewer Brian Taylor), who gathers a group of animal activists together to exact

Sings the Great Diva Classics

n her 39th album, soul legend Aretha Franklin takes on a seemingly easy and obvious undertaking: an album of cover songs. She’s sang a lot of covers in her storied career and transformed most of them, but she has a few challenges here on Aretha Franklin Sings the Great Diva Classics. Dean Gordon-Smith The obstacles are on a few of the choices and the medley format of those particular songs. Otherwise, a Franklin album is cause for some sort of celebration. She gets down to serious business early on with

Street SoundS

SOMETHING GREAT IS COMING!

her rendition of Rolling in the Deep and Midnight Train to Georgia. Her inimitable voice gets free and instinctively acrobatic on the Adele cover and it’s clear that Franklin has an affinity for that tune, which is itself a fine example of British soul. Rolling in the Deep is a tough song to transform, but Franklin does her thing and voilà: it’s a gospel-hued rave up. Closer to the original is the Gladys Knight and the Pips song, Midnight Train to Georgia. That is more in the time frame of Franklin’s heyday. She brings a deep sentimentality to a classic leavingtown tune, sounding decades younger than her 72 years. A couple of tracks buckle under the weight of the slick karaoke medley treatment that Franklin and producer Clive Davis mete out to them. Tacking a Destiny’s Child hook onto I Will Survive adds cliché to a track that runs out of gas long before it ends – a good idea that sounds contrived. Likewise with I’m Every Woman/Respect. An unusual choice of a Barbara Streisand song (People) steers the course away from Discoland and back to the diva’s realm. On People, Franklin adds grit and jazz-inflected pathos to a song that celebrates maudlinism and sentimentality. On No One, Franklin brings her Baptist roots to an inspired version of the Alicia Keys’ hit, complete with churchy background singers and a reggae treatment. It is a standout track on the album as is the old 1960s’ chestnut, You Keep Me Hangin’ On. It is a less than obvious selection that highlights Franklin’s unstoppable gale force phrasing and the ever present power her voice has on tap.

Adoption Month declared TOM FLETCHER Black Press

Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon is sharing her own experience as an adoptive parent to encourage people to invite the 1,000 young people waiting to join a family in B.C. At an event at the B.C. Legislature to declare November Adoption Month, Guichon described her experience adopting four children to live at her Nicola Valley ranch starting in the late 1970s. The first two children were infants, and in 1989 a relative called and asked if Guichon and her first husband would add a brother

and sister who were then aged three and five. Their mother had two older twin boys and was “struggling on her own. “Having always wanted a large family and having lots of resources such as wide open spaces to offer, we didn’t hesitate to say yes,” said Guichon. “I know that we gave these children a great home, and as a mother I worked to take care of them. “What I never knew is how much they would take care of me. You see, when my children were 20, 16, 15 and 13, we lost their father in an accident. “For a short time

after the accident, we were all in survival mode. To say that I would not have endured without my children is not overstating the case.” Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux and Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen TurpelLafond issued a joint statement, noting that 1,300 adoption placements have been found in the past five years. But there are 1,000 more children and teens who are still waiting. “The reality is that many of the young people in care who are waiting for adoption are school age,”

they said. “They may be siblings who need to stay together. Some may have special placement needs due to difficult early childhood experiences, prenatal exposure to alcohol or drugs, learning delays or other developmental challenges.” Cadieux launched a social media campaign for November to promote adoption, including a website at www.1000familiesbc. com with adoptive family profiles and videos.

Music helps to unlock dementia Morning Star Staff

Alzheimer’s disease and dementia are a reality for an increasing number of people. According to the Alzheimer Society of Canada, a staggering 747,000 people suffer from some form of dementia, and this number is expected to double in 20 years. “At NexusBC, we see the reality faced by families caring for someone with a dementia,” said coordinator Lee Brinkman, “which is why we wanted to bring the inspiring and uplifting film Alive Inside: A Story of Music and Memory to Vernon. Brinkman, whose father suffered from Alzheimer’s when she was young, knows first-hand about dementia. “In my opinion, Alzheimer’s is one of the worst diseases,” she said. “Over time, it slowly robs someone of everyone and everything that is familiar. It’s very painful to watch.” The film Alive Inside is a non-medical story of awakening those with dementia. The film follows social worker Dan Cohen, who discovers that a patient’s favourite songs are intact in a part of the brain that is still alive when all other communication and awareness seem irretrievably lost. Armed with headphones and music players, Cohen demonstrates, to the surprise of families and caregivers, how patients locked in silence and lost in the maze of dementia seem to find some memories and feelings when they hear the music they love. “It’s not a cure,” said Cohen, “but it is something just about anyone can try — something that might open up a whole lost world.” In a YouTube video, neurologist Oliver Sacks explains that musical memories can withstand the ravages of Alzheimer’s. “In a severe dementia one may have lost the power of language, and most of one’s event memories, but one always remembers songs they have heard and sung, and familiar music,” he said. Sacks explains that parts of the brain that respond to music are very close to the parts of the brain that are concerned with memory and with emotional mood. “One doesn’t have to be especially musical to respond to music, to recognize music, to react to music, emotionally — everyone does and they will continue to do so despite a severe dementia.” The film has received positive response from critics, and won the Audience Award at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival.

Social worker Dan Cohen, founder of the nonprofit organization Music & Memory, is the principle subject/founder and executive director of Alive Inside: A Story of Music and Memory, playing Monday at the Vernon Towne Cinema with two shows, at 5:15 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. “We are so pleased to bring this film to Vernon,” said Brinkman, “and we couldn’t have done it without support from Rockwell Audiology.” Tosha Hodgson, an audiologist for more than 18 years and owner of Rockwell Audiology in Vernon, said partnering with NexusBC on this project will help to will raise awareness for hearing loss and dementia.

“It’s not a cure, but it is something that might open up a whole lost world.” — Dan Cohen

“Recent studies at Johns Hopkins and the National Institute of Aging have been finding links between hearing loss and dementia,” she said. “The findings add to a growing list of health consequences associated with hearing loss, including risk of falling, hospitalizations, and declines in psychosocial, cognitive, and functional outcomes, all of which burden our health care system. “Hearing loss has not been determined to cause dementia, but studies are raising the possibility that treating hearing loss might

help deter onset of cognitive decline. “Music is simple, non-invasive, and does not require communication abilities to enjoy it. Played at safe listening levels, music can be enjoyed by nearly anyone, if even for just a moment,.” Brinkman recalls how her father reacted to music. “When we played one of his favourite records, he always relaxed and often closed his eyes. Even when he went to live in a care home, we transferred all his favourite records to tapes, and kept playing them. Somewhere inside, I know he enjoyed it.” The film’s message is one of hope and determination, and everyone is encouraged to attend. “Whether you are a family member caring for someone with a dementia or cognitive impairment, a healthcare professional, music lover or just seeking inspiration, you will be moved to tears,” said Brinkman, adding that the Alzheimer Society of BC will also be in attendance with an information table at the event. Alive Inside will be shown Monday at the Towne Theatre, with two showings: 5:15 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. Tickets are $5 and available at NexusBC, the Bean Scene and the theatre.

Knit up some warmth this winter Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff

Walk into the narthex of Knox Presbyterian Church and it’s not uncommon to find one or more members of the Knotty Knitters, needles and yarn flying, as they create hats, scarves and prayer shawls. And at this time of year, much of their handiwork ends up in one of the donation barrels that has been set up for the North Okanagan Valley Gleaners, which is collecting socks, mittens, toques and undergarments to be donated to orphaned children in eastern Europe. But what they could also use around this time is donations of yarn, so once again the Rev. Dr. Teresa Charlton has set up a spot where those who need yarn can pick some up and those who have extra can drop some off. “Every year, there will be people looking for yarn, some for Christmas gifts, some for the barrels,” said Charlton. “We’ve already filled one barrel

Tara Charlton, 11, models one of the many styles of hats that are being collected by the Gleaners this year. and they brought us a bigger one.” Charlton said when it comes to those who enjoy knitting and crotheting, many enjoy creating hats, while others enjoy making prayer shawls for those in need. And still others prefer to make layettes to be donated to the North Okanagan Pregnancy Care Centre.

“Knitting has a way of bringing people together, as we find they will come in and we’ll have a pot of coffee on and what we discover are people’s stories,” said Charlton. “We’ve had people who have brought things in after cleaning out closets when a loved one passes away, so we’ve had people bring us garments

that are unfinished, and so there is an emotional attachment to this yarn, and a lot of unresolved grief wrapped up in it. We found that people wanted to finish these pieces, but they didn’t want to at the same time, and it’s a little bit like saying goodbye to mum. “So it was so much more than just the yarn they were bringing us.” She said for many who can’t afford to purchase their own yarn, they are welcome to stop in and pick some up. “We’re calling it yarn toss — it started with a small basket and it has grown,” said Charlton, who has crocheted many items, including the tam worn by her daughter, Tara, in the photo. And the Knotty Knitters welcome new members to join them Tuesdays at 10 a.m. Yarn can be dropped off or picked up at the church Tuesday to Friday from 9 a.m. to noon. Knox Presbyterian Church is

Cedar Bridge lights lanterns for walk For The Morning Star

Each November Cedar Bridge School offers a magical, aweinspiring Lantern Walk. On this evening, the children hear the story of St. Martin by the fireside; they sing songs and, as darkness falls, venture out into the cool evening forest night with their lanterns, walking along a path lit with glowing luminaries, carefully carrying their lanterns in a mood of quiet reverence. This beautiful gesture brings home the deeper truth, in the words of Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism (563483 B.C.): “There isn’t enough darkness in all the world to snuff out the light of one little candle.” Celebrating Martinmas at Cedar Bridge School serves as a reminder that each of us has an inner spark that we must ferry

out into the world and share with others. From France comes the legend of Saint Martin, who as a young man passed under an archway in the city of Amiens and discovered a poor beggar huddled there. The man was shivering with cold, and had received no help to assist him. On seeing him, the young Martin took his own cape from his shoulders, tore the garment in half and covered the poor man to warm him. This experience confirmed in him his devotion to all humankind regardless of their station in life. St. Martin was known for his gentleness, his unassuming nature and his ability to bring warmth and light to those who were previously in darkness. On the evening of Martinmas he is remembered in many European households with a festival of lan-

terns, carrying light throughout the darkened home and streets, and singing of songs. The Martinmas celebration is inspired by old customs honouring St. Martin. As the sun sets earlier and rises later, the world grows darker and the inner light of humankind wants to shine forth. Children and parents gather as the sun sets. Handmade lanterns, often decorated with stars, suns and moons, are lit as a symbol for the children of their own individual light. And our walk into the evening gives the younger children and their families an experience of caring and sharing as we move toward the darkness of winter. Join Cedar Bridge School for the Lantern Walk today at 5:30 p.m., 730 Whitevale Rd., Lumby. For more information, call 250547-9212.

HEY GUYS … try something new!

Ecclesiastes 12:5 (the Preacher: kohaleth, Solomon) “the almond tree shall blossom.” In the late spring the almond tree is white with blossom, a signal that summer is nigh; a fitting figure of the hoary, whiteheaded old man, whose life is almost over, and death at hand. “The grasshopper shall be a burden.” The grasshopper usually propels itself with great leaps, illustrative of the exuberance of youth, but when moving slowly it assumes a painful, dragging, crawling gait - characteristic of declining life.

‘‘

’’

City Car: Kia Soul EV & Smart ForTwo Electric Drive. Bob’s Pick: Both entries are small electric vehicles and they’re close in terms of performance, but the Kia Soul EV is my choice. It seats five (instead of two), has more cargo space and rides nicer, making it a more practical everyday car. Price (base/as tested): $34,995/$34,995 Acceleration 0 to 100 km/hour: 10.5 seconds Braking 100 to 0 Km/hour: 43.4 metres Fuel economy (city/highway): 2.0/2.6 Le/100 km Small Car - Over $21,000: Mini Cooper, Kia Forte5 & Volkswagen Golf.

Luxury Car - Over $50,000: Acura RLX Hybrid, Cadillac ATS Coupe, Hyundai Genesis & Kia K900. Bob’s Pick: My clear winner here is the Acura RLX Hybrid, a large all-wheel drive luxury sedan that’s fun to drive, yet very easy on fuel. It uses a 3-motor hybrid powertrain with a front electric motor & twin rear motors. The drivetrain also includes a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

V60 Polestar. Bob’s Pick: Priced well below the other two entries in this category, the new Ford Mustang GT provides excellent bang for the buck and looks awesome. Price (base/as tested): $42,499/$51,899 Acceleration 0 to 100 km/hour: 6.2 seconds Braking 100 to 0 Km/hour: 39.5 metres Fuel economy (city/highway): 15.2/9.3 L/100 km SUV/CUV - $35,000 to $60,000: Chevrolet Tahoe, Lincoln MKC, Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 & Toyota Highlander. Bob’s Pick: Big can be beautiful, as Chevrolet Tahoe has evolved into a more drive-able vehicle that offers a supremely comfortable ride, can pull a (3863 kg) mountain and the new EcoTec 5.3 litre V8 engine provides decent fuel economy, especially on the highway. Price (base/as tested): $57,245/$59,460 Acceleration 0 to 100 km/hour: 8.0 seconds Braking 100 to 0 Km/hour: 42.1 metres Fuel economy (city/highway): 14.9/10.1 L/100 km SUV/CUV - Over $60,000: GMC Yukon XL, Mercedes-Benz GLA AMG & Porsche Macan.

TOUGH OLD TRUCK!

10,995

The all-new 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe is part of a full suite of large trucks from General Motors. These range from the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, the GMC Yukon and Denali and the Cadillac Escalade. Something of interest is the preference Canadians have for the GMC brand over the Chevrolet trucks, which are the most popular in the United States. More Canadians go for GMC and the US loves Chevrolet, the complete reverse. Regardless, all of these GM trucks represent the majority of full-size truck sales in Canada. GM kind of has a lock on big vehicles able to move a large family, tow a trailer and now do it with much greater efficiency. These are all based on the award winning full-size Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks that arrived in 2014. GM has taken much of what made those some of the most comfortable vehicles to drive and baked it into the Tahoe and others. LOOKS In the Chevrolet family the Tahoe is the short wheelbase version and the Suburban is the longer wheelbase model, with much more cargo space behind the third row of seats. Some might find the new design direction from GM to be a bit too slab-sided, with squarer edges and boxy shapes but I prefer the modern take on the classic design. The Tahoe sits very high off the ground so the power side step is a wonderful addition

along with a power tailgate and backup camera. How did we ever live without these amenities before? The biggest change is the front lighting package GM has used on this Chevrolet. LED daytime running lights make a statement and the monster grille with the big Chevrolet bowtie 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe looks rough and ready. use and access rotary dials INSIDE and switches. There are USB One of the biggest changes in the full-size pickup trucks plugs along with regular power outlets just under is the level of refinement the radio and more USB and ride quality and this plugs inside the glove box has migrated into this and yet another behind the radio screen that slides up and away to reveal a hidden compartment. The back seats have an available flip and fold feature that automatically lowers or raises the second and third row of seats. What is surprising is the lack of More Canadians cargo space behind the third row when it is in use, go for GMC and the the bigger Suburban might US loves Chevrolet, be the way to go for really the complete large families.

Tahoe, the cabin is quiet and refined. This is done through a number of advancements; one of the biggest is the way the doors wrap into the roof to help shut out road and wind noise. The next big advantage is the attention to detail in the front cabin. There is a big screen, front and centre, with easy to

DRIVE The two-wheel drive Tahoe is the value leader in the GM line of full-size trucks, starting at $51,900-- the GMC comes with a $2000 premium over the Chevy. Yes, this is an expensive vehicle but keep in mind that towing is a big reason why people purchase such big trucks. With a towing capacity of 3856kg (8500 lbs.) in two-wheel drive trim and 3765 (8300 lbs.) with four wheel drive, the Tahoe is up to the task of

towing most pleasure boats and family campers with ease. The Tahoe uses the same 355hp 5.3L V8 engine found in the full-size pickup trucks. It uses direct injection technology and has the ability to switch off half of the cylinders to help save fuel. There is a small indicator light on the instrument cluster that tells the driver when the engine is running on just 4-cylinders. This helps the driver feather the throttle to keep the engine in this fuel saving mode as long as possible. When more power is needed, the engine automatically reverts to all eight cylinders for maximum power. These tricks help improve city fuel economy by seven percent and highway consumption by ten percent. VERDICT The Tahoe tested was the top LTZ trim with the magnetic ride control, the same system used in the Corvette Stingray. This system monitors the road condition up to 1000 times per second and adjusts the shock absorbers up to 100 times per second to improve ride and handling. This along with the smooth engine and quiet ride makes the Tahoe feel like a big, luxury sedan. It is no wonder that people who have these big trucks love them. One thing to consider when choosing which truck to buy is the available engine. The GMC Denali and Cadillac Escalade trucks have a larger 6.2L V8, which is much quicker and more capable. This Tahoe is just part of the full-line of trucks from GM that dominate the market, and for good reason. These are well-designed, well-made and supremely comfortable vehicles for a large family. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

At home on the Serengeti and in the city By Ian Harwood

The recent Mercedes G-Class increased the aggressiveness of its physique. And, as a result, the G550 I tested can now navigate around the rhinos in the African Serengeti as well navigate the busy streets of downtown Vancouver without looking out of place! – Many would think you’re crazy to take a Mercedes off-road, but this vehicle has been exploring Africa and Asia for decades. LOOKS: It has a European look at the front end, with two marker lights on top of the fenders and LED light strips just below the headlights. A large Mercedes emblem is proudly displayed in the centre of the grille. The large wheel well openings and fender flares contribute to the aggressive look but serve a practical purpose in allowing for full travel of the suspension without letting the tires rub. IN THE CAB: Good vision on all sides. The cabin is extremely well laid out. Controls are easily reached and I like the carbon fibre look over the wood burl. Three rocker switches on the dash control the centrifugal lock on the transfer case, the rear differential lock, and the front differential lock. When you engage these locks, an audible sound appears along with a light on the dash. The navigation screen is just above the centre stack on the dash. It looks a little out of place,

brake assist. In the event of an accident the engine is automatically turned off, hazard lights are turned on, and doors are automatically unlocked. Now that is thinking! ROADWORTHY: I had the opportunity to test this vehicle on the back roads. I have to admit I was a little sceptical of taking this vehicle through the mud and steep washouts without damaging it. To my surprise, the vehicle performed just fine. I had driven on a steep side slope without and problem although my passenger was a little worried we were going to roll. I took it through a series of well-placed ditches to test the articulation and managed to raise the passenger front tire easily three feet

I do not think people are going out to buy this luxury vehicle to drive some rough back roads but it would be comforting to know it can.

almost if it were an iPad placed there. I would have liked to have seen more of integration into the dash. The seats are very comfortable and controlled from the door panel. The steering wheel has a piano black lacquer on the smooth surfaces and the upholstery is ‘designo’ leather giving this space a luxurious feel to it. Safety first: Driver and front passenger air bag, side and rear head airbag. 4 wheel ABS, traction control, electronic stability control, and

The classic car market has been on a tear for several years now. Some cars that you would never imagine breaking the five grand barrier have done so, often handily, with the best examples of some of the worst cars ever regularly breaking the bank on eBay. Here are some of our favorites: 1. 1990 Yugo GV ($9,100): Nobody restores a Yugo, right? Ummmm … wrong. This one was restored to better-than-new condition with great paint and interior. When new, these communist-made transportation appliances with funny-smelling plastic interiors and negative numbers in every relevant safety measure sold for about three grand. This one brought almost three times that on eBay in August 2012. 2. 1985 Trabant convertible ($18,900): Yet another product of European communism, the smoky, two-stroke Trabant was made from a resin-impregnated, cloth-based composite material that was rumored to be based on discarded East German military uniforms. A sign of the backwardness of the former Soviet bloc, the juxtaposition of Trabants

against 7-series BMWs after the wall came down was particularly comical. While it was an unusual “beach car” convertible variant, this was huge money for a terrible car. Sold on eBay in October 2012. 3. 1979 AMC Pacer ($12,433): Pacers had a brief moment in the collector car sun after the movie “Wayne’s World,” along with other “nerd cars” like the AMC Gremlin. This incredibly clean example with just 38,083 miles sold on eBay Motors in March 2014 for the huge sum of $12,433. 4. 1979 Ford Pinto ($4161): Saying that Pintos are “da bomb” is a terrible joke that we seem to have repeated. Known mainly today for their fuel tank positioning, which gave them explosive characteristics in rear-end collisions, they really weren’t bad to drive. But the attending bad publicity ensured that, along with Chevy’s ill-fated Vega, American compacts failed to stem the tide of Japanese imports. This disco-era Pinto wagon, complete with a factory porthole window, was just the thing for someone with a case of “Boogie Nights” nostalgia. Sold in November 2012 on eBay Motors.

VERDICT: I do not think people are going out to buy this luxury vehicle to drive some rough back roads but it would be comforting to know it can. POWER: The G550 is equipped with a 5.5 Litre V8, which has an output of 382 hp and 391 ft lb of torque. The transmission is a 7G-TRONIC plus, that has been around since 1960, although updated to handle today’s requirements.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder BRIDGE IS SO FULL OF POSSIBILITIES Mark Twain said, “Truth is stranger than fiction, but that is because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; truth isn’t.” A bridge deal is full of possibilities, some fact (what actually happened) and some fiction (what might have happened). This deal is a good example. It could be played in a duplicate, and each table would have a different auction or card-play sequence. First, after North passes, should East open three clubs? This would normally promise a seven-card suit, but as there is no weak two in clubs, many pairs would start with three clubs, even in second position (where one tends to

be the most conservative), because the suit is so strong. When this board was originally played, East passed, South opened one diamond, and West produced a two-spade weak jump overcall, not caring that he held four hearts. North made an aggressive raise to three diamonds. Now South should have shut his eyes and bid three no-trump. Yes, that contract can be defeated if West leads a club, but why should he? However, South tried for game with four diamonds and North passed, of course. West chose the interesting lead of his singleton trump (instead of the spade king). What should South have done?

Declarer started with nine top tricks: one spade, three hearts and five diamonds. So he immediately conceded a club to arrange a club ruff in his shorter trump hand for a sixth diamond trick. As the cards lay, he could not gain two ruffs for 11 tricks. If you are curious, try it.

Casimir Todde Luszcz (Ted)

(BC Logger Born to Clearcut) It is with great heartache we say goodbye and announce the sudden passing of our beloved husband, father and treasured Papa on the evening of October 31, 2014 in the comfort of his home, at the age of 74 years. Teddy was born November 30, 1939 to Jenny and Stanley Luszcz in Ardmore, Alberta. He is predeceased by his mother, father, sisters Florence and Patsy, son Ronald and his faithful dog,Kuba. He is lovingly survived and leaves behind his wife of 40 years Margaret (Margie), daughter Sherry Kineshanko (Jon), son Tom (Jen), treasured grandchildren Payton, Tage, Brooklyn and Lincoln and four legged family Mocha, 'unner and Buddy all of Lumby, BC. Also daughter Teresa JeaneƩe and son Allan Marsh (Catherine) of New Brunswick along with grandchildren Jordan, BriƩany, Amberly, Morgan, Shelby, Darian, Beth, PorƟa, Demitrius, Keegan, Megali and Astena. Plus 5 great grandchildren Macey, Vincent, Bianca, Grayson, and Bella; his brother Peter (Donna), sisters Mildred, Sonũa, Shirley and Angela (Doug) plus numerous other extended family and special friends. Teddy grew up working hard on the family farm in Ardmore before the scent of fresh cut Ɵmber called his name at the young age of 14. He arrived by train in Houston, BC with nothing more than his guitar, backpack and $15 from his dad to start his lengthy career in logging. He moved his family to Lumby in 1974 where he grew his roots deep and started his long, proud career with Riverside Forest Products. He loved being outdoors, whether it be Įshing, camping, bonĮres, snowmobiling, hunƟng or ũust socializing and ũoking with friends and family. He enũoyed playing cards, pick-up sƟcks with grandkids, gardening, snowplowing the neighborhood and ũust being helpful (especially if it involved working with his John Deere cat). zou could always hear his big, green Chevy coming down the road and know that you would be greeted with a smile and a wave with his canine friends riding shotgun. Ted spent endless years volunteering in the community with organizaƟons such as Lions Club, Lumby Legion, Variety Club Telethon, Lumby/Mable Lake Snowmobile Club and Teddy’s Devils & MarƟn’s Angels. As well, he was a huge supporter of youth sports by either coaching, sponsoring teams or being their biggest fan. Ted, Dad, Papa and Hoboũoe will be greatly missed with his sense of humour and smiling face. A celebraƟon of life to honour this wonderful man and kind hearted soul will be held Friday, November 7th at 2 pm at the Whitevalley Community Center in Lumby, BC. In lieu of Ňowers, donaƟons can be made in his name to the Vernon branch of the SPCA. zou are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s on-line obituary @ www.MyAlternaƟves.ca .
