Shrine welcomes quartet ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame inductee Odie Lowe said he’s more used to yelling unkind words at kids in a hockey dressing room than addressing a crowd of 150, as he did Friday at the Schubert Centre. And a lot of those kids were in the audience paying respect to their coach and being honoured themselves. The Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame inducted Lowe, the 1969-70 and 1971-72 Vernon Essos hockey team, threetime Canadian Olympic swimmer Rick Say of Salmon Arm and late basketball official Mel Briggeman of Vernon in its Class of 2014 Friday afternoon. More than 20 members of both Essos teams returned for the luncheon for themselves and to pay tribute to Lowe, who won the Allan Cup Canadian senior hockey championship as a player with the Vernon Canadians in 1956, and coached both Essos teams to the league championships. “Our junior club started with nothing,” said Lowe, 86, who was joined at the luncheon
by his wife, Yvonne, and son Terry. “We had a lot of good players, and a lot of good fans even when we had terrible teams. “I had to deal with team revolts, fans with paper bags on their heads, people wanting me fired. I loved it. I thank you all very much for this honour.” The Essos were inducted into the team category. Vernon’s Bob Mayer, captain of the 1969-70 squad, said the team was lucky to be good and good to be lucky. “We didn’t have the greatest hockey talent in the world, but somehow we always found a way to get the job done,” said the soft-spoken Mayer. Jim Lawrence, captain of the 1971-72 Essos, came to the luncheon from his home in Whistler. He flew into Vernon in a 14-seat aircraft to join the Essos after playing minor hockey in Vancouver. “I keep following how the Vernon Vipers are doing, and I’ve come to realize the impact Vernon and all of the Okanagan cities had on us,” said Lawrence. “We were coming out of high school, taking our first steps into adulthood,
and the communities were embracing us, accepting us. Everybody embraced the hockey players in Vernon. They still do.” Say, arguably one of Canada’s all-time greatest freestyle swimmers, competed in three Olympics: 2000 in Sydney, Australia; 2004 in Athens and 2008 in Beijing. He paid tribute to other Salmon Arm athletes enshrined in the hall (basketball players Bev Smith and Joanne Sargent, and late crosscountry skier Reino Keski-Salmi) before thanking the committee for his induction. “I heard those guys’ names a lot when I was growing up and it’s neat to be included with them now,” said Say, accompanied by his parents, Tony and Viv, and his grandmother. “I feel very special and honoured to be here and be part of this

group. It means a lot of me.” Say, who now works as a rink attendant in a Victoria suburb, shared the honour with every person that helped him accomplish his swim goals. “It wasn’t just me on the blocks. It was every single person I came in contact with and every single person who helped me get there,” he said. “Coaches, sports organizations, teammates, support staff, volunteers and my family and friends.” Briggeman, who died in September, is remembered as a longtime community coach, official and volunteer. He was inducted into the builders category for his prowess as one of B.C.’s best basketball referees. His grandson, Thomas, accepted the honour on behalf of the family. “Thank you for the admiration towards a man who meant so
much to Vernon, the Okanagan and B.C.,” said Briggeman. “It’s important that you all recognize Mel never did anything for gratitude or reward. “If he was here today, he’d say with pride ‘thank you,’ and hope that you carry on his work to ensure a proper sports atmosphere here in the Okanagan Valley.” Funtastic Sports Society president Brett Kirkpatrick officially welcomed the crowd and opened the induction ceremony (Funtastic is the shrine ceremony’s title sponsor). Regional District of North Okanagan vicechair Rick Fairbairn won the 50/50 and donated his winnings back to the Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame. Videos of the inductees can be found on the Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame’s Facebook page.

Candidates draw up art gallery ideas kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
The need for a new building to house the Vernon Public Art Gallery was at the top of the agenda at Thursday’s election forum on arts and culture at the gallery. All Vernon mayoralty candidates agreed that arts and culture are an economic generator in bringing both tourists, businesses and potential residents to the city. However, differences in opinion came on whether a potential new building should be a single or multi-purpose unit that would house the gallery along with other facilities such as the museum. “I want to go up,” said Jamie Morrow to the approximately 90 people in the audience. “I would like to start with a multiuse building that would see the gallery on the main floor and residences above, allowing for high density and a way to revitalize downtown and bring people downtown.” Klaus Tribes agreed that a larger facility is needed and that he would like the museum to remain at its current location, in Vernon’s Civic Square. “I hoped the old library build-

I would love to see the gallery in the civic cen-
tre,” he said. Mary-Jo O’Keefe said the new gallery’s proposed location, at the old Vernon Flower Shop and next
to the new city bus depot, has been targeted due to its location. “We had momentum on this with the last council. It’s why we
put the outdoor shelter there,” she said, adding the proposed gallery would utilize the outdoor space for art. Questions also came on how to pay for the facility and to sell it to the public. Victor Cumming said he would support the gallery being part of an umbrella organization that would include tourism, however, he said funding for tourism mainly comes from the hotel tax. “It would be difficult to get around,” he said. “I see it as a two-hump camel with tourism in Vernon having the strongest hump in summer when there are lots of activities in arts and culture. The gap is when you want to do it and when the visitors are here. You need product development and marketing year round.” Akbal Mund said he would have liked to have seen the referendum for a new gallery go on the last election ballot and would like to see per capita funding for arts and culture. “I support that and look at arts and culture as an education tool for youth,” he said, “I see people with young families that want to see arts and culture grow in the community.”
‘Predatory conduct’ nets four-year sentence roger knox Morning Star Staff
A significant jail sentence has been handed to a Vernon man in connection with attempting to communicate and lure children under the age 16 via computer. Justice Peter Voith sentenced David Clayton Willerth, 40, to four years in Vernon Supreme Court Friday morning after Willerth pleaded guilty Tuesday to 17 counts of communicating via computer to lure a child under the age of 16. Willerth, who was arrested in May 2013, was also sentenced to a further nine months in prison, to be served consecutively, for pleading guilty to one count of possession of child pornography.
A total of 168 days will be taken off the sentence for time already served in custody by Willerth. “Mr. Willerth’s conduct was predatory,” said Voith in pronouncing the sentence. “He was insistent and aggressive even after it was made clear to him by some of the victims that they didn’t want any further communication.” There were a total of 16 victims in the case, all between the ages of 12 and 15. Crown counsel had sought a sentence of six-to-seven years while defence was seeking a three-year term. Willerth will be sent to a federal penitentiary to have access to counselling programs. Willerth posed as a model agent under a fake name on a social network site in May
2013. He offered young girls contracts and money and asked that they send him nude photographs. After police were informed of social network conversations by parents of one of the victims, the investigation led to an IP computer address at Willerth’s Vernon home. Willerth, who sat with his head bowed through a majority of the 50-minute sentence proceeding, did attempt to meet some of the girls he was communicating with but never met any of them. He also deleted from his computer nude photographs he received from one girl. Voith took into account a prior criminal record for Willerth which included impersonation and criminal harassment, and the
fact he pleaded guilty to 18 counts, sparing the victims from testifying and reliving their ordeal in a trial.

A-word draws mayor’s caution candidates are taking a pro-study stance during the election. “They see it as a popular thing without thinking it fully through,” he said, adding that some candidates may change their mind once they are elected and begin to understand the current governance model. Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director,
dismisses the chamber’s call for a study. “Vernon can’t afford what it has now,” he said, adding that taxes will go up if Vernon takes over the cost of rural roads and policing. “If fiscal responsibility is what they (chamber) are looking at, they are going about it the wrong way.” Macnabb also says that larger municipal
structures generally have numerous employees. Responses to questions presented to the Vernon candidates can be found at www.vernonchamber.ca.

There doesn’t appear to be significant differences among Coldstream candidates on major issues. Similar approaches were generally evident as the seven candidates for councillor went before about 80 people at a Coldstream Ratepayers Association forum Thursday. Among the topics discussed at the Coldstream Women’s Institute Hall was possible amalgamation with the rest of Greater Vernon. “Vernon has huge challenges with infrastructure and it’s a burden Coldstream doesn’t want to take on,” said incumbent Richard Enns. Glen Taylor, who is a former councillor, limited his response to one word — “No.” Incumbent Peter McClean pointed out that the issue has surfaced before and “we’re not interested in amalgamation.” Gyula Kiss, an incumbent, was clear about his position. “I wouldn’t ask you to vote for me if I was for amalgamation,” he said. Incumbent Pat Cochrane admits governance changes may eventually occur in the future, but he will not be the catalyst.
RICHARD ROLKE/MORNING STAR
Glen Taylor (left) listens as Richard Enns responds to a question at the Coldstream all-candidates forum at the Women’s Institute Hall Thursday. “I certainly won’t initiate any discussion over the next four years,” he said. Shane Hillman, who is running for the first time, says he has looked at the governance issue. “We need to work closely with our neighbours but amalgamation isn’t the answer,” he said. Like Taylor, incumbent Doug Dirk didn’t mince words with his response — “No.” Candidates were also asked if they would make a pedestrian path on Aberdeen Road
a priority. “It will be a capital project but I can’t say where I would put it (in importance) because every year we have to look at the budget and projects,” said Dirk. Hillman says he is committed to ensuring children are safe when walking or riding bicycles. “It’s something I want to seriously look at,” he said. Cochrane insists current council is aware of the concerns of residents. “Over the long-term, the
work will be done but we have to fit it in with other capital projects,” he said. Kiss linked the pressure for a pedestrian path to the Vernon School District’s decision to end school bus service on Aberdeen Road. “We were snookered by the school board and we didn’t know they were going to do what they did.” McClean says issues like this have surfaced because Coldstream is shifting from an agricultural to urban community. “It is a high priority but Aberdeen Road is not the only one in the district. We have to look at all of them,” he said. Taylor says safety hazards are a priority. “I’m here to make the community safe for future generations,” he said. Enns also wants to take action on improving pedestrian activities. “It’s time to do Aberdeen Road. It’s a schoolcentred neighbourhood over there,” he said. The other primary issue during the forum was the $70 million borrowing referendum for the master water plan. All of the candidates, except for Hillman, stated they would vote no.

Pilot error identified in fatal airplane crash TYLER OLSEN Black Press
Pilot error was to blame in a 2011 plane crash in Alberta that killed two brothers, including Vernon resident Lee Sorken, according to a public inquiry’s report. Lee Sorken and his brother, Dean Sorken, died on June 3, 2011, when the 1966 singleengine Mooney airplane they were travelling in crashed near Bashaw, Alta., a small town just east of Red Deer. An inquiry into the crash was held this
summer, and the final report was released last week. The plane was owned by Dean Sorken, who was at the controls at the time of the crash. His brother also had a pilot licence. The inquiry heard that the two brothers were travelling to a wedding in Alberta. Dean had picked Lee up in Vernon, where he was told that a flight to Killam because of cloud cover was “unlikely.” Dean’s licence only allowed him to fly during daylight, when he
could see the ground and horizon. Nevertheless, the brothers left Vernon that afternoon. The plane made it to Central Alberta without difficulty, but as it began to descend, something went wrong. The plane was later found in a crater, with both occupants dead at the scene. “The plane had impacted the ground vertically,” the report states. The inquiry heard that Dean Sorken only had around 500 hours
of flying time, which witness Gordon Welsby deemed as “low experience.” Welsby, an experienced pilot and flight instructor, deemed the decision to fly a poor choice that “should not have been undertaken.” He said the pilot appeared to quickly lose control of the aircraft and was unable to rectify the situation. The judge who heard the inquiry said Sorken’s “ultimate reason and decision for attempting this flight will never be known, although the

ly optimistic that this trend will carry onward and into 2015 as confidence builds, especially
with the variety of positives in the region and their multiplying effect on our market.”
Real estate sales climb in North Okanagan Morning Star Staff
Real estate activity remains strong in the North Okanagan. There were 165 unit sales in October, an 11.5 per cent increase from the 148 units during the same month in October. Total residential sales for the month were up 10.5 per cent over last year, with 147 units sold compared to 133. There were 90 single-family home sales, up 5.9 per cent from 85 in October 2013. “Spurred by pent-up demand, robust consumer confidence, and a steadily improving provincial economy, the strong upward yearover-year and monthover-month trajectory in our board area has continued for seven consecutive months,” said Darcy Griffiths,
need or want to get home for the family wedding undoubtedly
played a major role.” He said he could make no recommenda-
tions that would prevent such an accident in the future.

City bumpkins
hen I worked in the Big City, I used to worry that some visiting relative from a small town would act like a rube and embarrass me in front of the fast crowd of world-weary sophisticates I was hanging out with. At any moment, someone in my small-town family might blurt out something corny that my friends would think was hysterically funny -- and then they’d remind me for weeks that Cousin Joe actually thought subways were scary and restaurants were expensive. How quaint. What a hillbilly. It never occurred to Jim Mullen me that my friends must have had relatives, too, and that I had never met them. It was almost as if they were hiding them from me! Now that most of those sophisticates I knew back then are on house arrest and wearing ankle bracelets for some kind of securities fraud, or unemployed and working on getting “new skills” for the modern economy, I can see that they weren’t all that sophisticated to begin with. They were just people who lived in the Big City. Now that I live in a small town, I’m worried some Big City bumpkin will come visit and embarrass me in front of my friends. You simply never know what’s going to come out of a city person’s mouth. Travis, an old friend I used to work with on a long-defunct magazine, visited with his new wife one weekend last fall. Sue and I hadn’t met the new wife, but after they arrived, we sat in the kitchen drinking coffee for a few hours and got acquainted. She seemed very nice and well-adjusted. After a while, she stood up and asked directions to the bathroom. As she got to the kitchen door, she turned around, looked at Travis and said, “Watch my purse.”
VILLAGE IDIOT
She wasn’t trying to be offensive; it’s simply something you learn to say in the city out of habit, though we were glad she said it at our house and not out in public. Another guest, Ted, couldn’t believe we didn’t have any dry vermouth on hand to make martinis. He had to settle for some beer that had been in the back of the fridge for two years. I tried to tell him that we’re so relaxed here, compared to what we were like in the city, that we’ve gradually stopped drinking. It’s true: I’ve gone from being a Type A personality to a Type F. Sue says if I get any lazier she’ll have me upholstered. Ted asked me where everybody goes on Saturday night around here, and I said, “The living room.” He thought that was the name of a bar. Maybe it should be. “Mommy, where’s Daddy?” “For the hundredth time, he’s in the Living Room!” “But I don’t see him there.” “Count your blessings.” This past weekend, Norman, another old friend, called to say he was coming our way. At first I thought, gee, we have no big tourist attractions around here -- no big museums, no splashy musicals, no TV shows being shot here, no fivestar restaurants. What are we going to do with this guy? Take him with us to a potluck dinner we’ve been invited to? Who knows what’s going to come out of his mouth? Go see the girls’ basketball game down at the high school? How’s that going to compare to a Broadway musical? But that’s what we did, and he had a wonderful time. He wants to leave the city and move next to us. It turns out that he doesn’t go to the museums and plays anymore. “Those are for the tourists,” he said, “Twothirds of all tickets to Broadway shows are sold to tourists. If they depended on New Yorkers, they’d go broke. Me, I stay at home at night and watch TV. Like a normal person.” Contact Jim Mullen at JimMullenBooks.com.
The forums may be over but the campaigns are gearing up into overdrive as the civic elections head into the all-important final week. Judging by the attendance at most of the forums in the North Okanagan and the advance polling numbers, it appears there is an increased interest in this year’s campaign. And that’s a good thing. It could be due to the fact that we’re now voting in councillors and directors and trustees for a four-year term, a 25-per-cent increase over previous elections giving it a little more impact. But hopefully it’s also because people are realizing how important the so-called third level of government is in our everyday lives. What happens at city hall or the regional district office or the school board office directly affects you and your neighbour and we encourage everyone to get as informed as possible about the candidates pursuing these positions: and above all exercise your right to vote on Nov. 15. The Morning Star has endeavoured to cover as many forums as possible for our readers but also there is a supplement in today’s paper with information on most of the races in the North Okanagan. There’s also a special section in today’s paper saluting our veterans in honour of Remembrance Day, including details of the many services in the area on Tuesday. It’s very fitting that we all get to exercise our democratic right just a few days after we pay our respects to those who sacrificed so much for the freedoms that we too often take for granted. We encourage all to wear a poppy and attend Remembrance Day services, Tuesday, to honour our veterans, and to follow through and do the right thing on Saturday by exercising the hard-fought right to participate in a democracy.

Lest we forget
ne hundred years ago, my grandfather, along with some 620,000 that enlisted by the end of the war, left behind his wife and twin four-year-old children (my mother and uncle), his community, his job at Vernon Hardware and joined the Canadian Expeditionary forces (30th Battalion-later the 15th) to fight for our freedom in the trenches of Europe. After initial training in Victoria, an inspiring train trip across Canada, a worrisome voyage on the troop ship Megantic across the Atlantic to Britain, they spent a further 10 days in quarantine due to an outbreak of German measles while waiting for deployment from Folkestone, England. He spent the next three years battling the Germans from the trenches. From the many letters he sent home, he describes the horrors of war. “…Laying in a trench for several days under heavy fire from the enemy, all his nerves working and afraid to go to sleep for fear of gas and all the time sitting tight unable to fire a shot
COMMON SENSE Like a lot of folks here, I get most of my information pertaining to the area from The Morning Star. I'm very surprised that I am not reading anything positive from any of the candidates for office in Vernon or Coldstream. By positive, I mean anybody coming out and honestly saying, "I will work very hard to correct the problems with the water plan as proposed. I don't agree with it in its present form and will not vote in favour of it until some common sense is put in the mix." Common sense tells me to leave the Duteau Creek site alone. Let is supply the 80 per cent of needed water and upgrade what's needed to supply the other 20 per cent of domestic water. Is this so hard to understand? We are some $60 million into it, maybe more, so far. Now we have phase two. They forgot that the original $60 million was phase one, and phase two is $70 million. We know it will be a lot more and after that, phase three for $40 million, and then probably phase four and even a five. It's a bottomless money pit. I would like to see a projection of our annual water household bills over the next 20 years using the present proposal versus having two completely independent systems as I have outlined (and we don't give agricultural water away). Please keep in mind that if we don't bite the bullet somewhere, we, according to some

in return. "Life in the trenches is pretty rotten but I think the reserve trenches are the worst for they are continually being shelled…I’d rather be in the front trenches as they are not shelled as much as they are so close to the German line they are afraid of killing their own men. "You know that the German line is only about 80 or a 100 yards from ours and on a still night you can hear them talking.” sources, will have the highest water bills in the Okanagan if not North America or the world. If we don't do something about this now, we probably never will. The Interior Health Authority will not, and cannot, force us into something that doesn't make sense as long as they are satisfied that we are doing our best to correct our previous mistakes (which will be best in the long run), by having people not afraid to put aside their book-learning and reports from others who also only have book learning to reach decisions which also require common sense learning. There is no way you can learn common sense. You either have it or you don't. We need new people who have it and are not afraid to say so. Let's elect, appoint and hire some. J. V. Methot CHANGE NEEDED There needs to be fundamental changes in the way in which city hall operates and mayor and council conduct themselves in city hall, council chambers and in public. It is high time that the mayor and councillors realized that the low voter turnout is attributed to political disengagement and the belief that voting for one candidate or another will do little to alter public policy. There is a lack of sense of personal responsibility individuals feel to uphold their obligations as part of any community. "Why should I vote? It doesn’t matter, no one listens or
He went “over the top” 10 times during a three month period. On Aug. 8, 1918, and near the end of the war, he was injured by shrapnel from a mortar exploding in his trench. They had moved four kilometres into enemy territory and were in an enemy trench when the Germans bombed it, killing his officer and wounding many in his platoon. He was shipped home with four major wounds (back of knee, top of head, nasty cares what I say." Low voter turnouts threaten democracy in several ways. When people don't participate in the electoral process, it weakens the foundation of the democratic process. Over the past number of years, a trend, a consensus, has emerged from within city hall. There is little to no civic engagement or civic participation, individual and collective actions designed to identify and address issues of public concern. Civic engagement is about decision-making, or governance over whom, how, and who will allocate a community’s resources. Civic engagement is a means of working together to make a difference in the civil life of our communities and developing the combination of skills, knowledge, values, and motivation in order to make that difference. It means promoting a quality of life in a community, through both political and nonpolitical processes. Efforts to directly address an issue by residents have been met by resistance in council chambers by elected officials. These actions and the decision-making by mayor and councillors are the very reason for low voter turn out. There is a valid perception that voting has little impact on how the city is run. City councillors have lacked the ability to act as an individual person that is willing to listen to the people of Vernon and act accordingly. I really would like to know why a city
gash to the back of neck) and worst, a gaping wound in his back that would not heal. He succumbed to these injuries in 1922 and as described in a newspaper article, a full military funeral was held at his gravesite in the Vernon cemetery, complete with a 21-gun salute and the playing of the Last Post. Last year, during my annual visit to his gravestone Nov. 11, this ceremony was rather brought to life thanks to a lone piper that piped a lament as he wandered from the lower old section towards the Canadian flag flying in the centre above. I have been visiting my grandfather, Sgt. George Henry McNeill's gravestone for many years, reflecting upon his years in the trenches and this took on a very special significance as the tartan-clad kilted fellow strolled through the cemetery playing his bagpipes as a selfless act of respect. I am thankful for his added tribute to those that fell. Lest we forget. G. Marrs councillor is scared to vote no or show objection to matters that are being debated or voted on.

Arts create debate among candidates KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
The arts matter, said the 12 Vernon council candidates gathered at the Vernon Public Art Gallery for Thursday’s election forum on the current state and future of arts and culture in the city. Incumbent councillor Juliette Cunningham said she would like to see ideas from the new cultural plan devised by the Regional District of the North Okanagan implemented and see the new art gallery facility become a reality. “In this term, I hope to push for a referendum. We’ve worked hard on finally getting a buyin from around the table to get a (cultural) master plan. We now need to move forward with its implementation.” Janet Green said it’s the politicians turn to sell the cultural plan to the rest of the community. “Without that piece, the referendum won’t pass.” Brian Quiring said he is committed to getting the current gallery space from under the Vernon parkade and supports a single-use facility for a new gallery. “We do not want to deal with a leaking roof and cars above us,” he said. “A single-purpose building would meet the needs of where we are at economically and realistically.”

Dan Caul looks over the questions and answers posed to Vernon council candidates at the Vernon Public Art Gallery at its election forum Thursday. Jack Gilroy reminded those attending the forum that in 2005, the city tried to get a new cultural facility in Vernon, but failed. “In 2009, we purchased the property to go towards the arts and raised money for it. We have the property, I don’t want to go and change things.” “By investing in arts and culture, you get the dividends in the economy. It works hand-inhand,” said Mark Olsen, adding he wants to see economic diversity that at the same time protects the environment. Shawn Lee said there needs to be people on council who are involved in all aspects of the economy, including the arts, and that he would be committed to making the master culture plan work. “I feel the arts have been pushed aside,” he said. Kari Gares said she sees the arts as one way

for the younger generation to get involved with the community, and that per capita funding for the arts is one way to get the ball rolling. Catherine Lord pointed out how in the last three years council has been dealing with infrastructure issues and its partners at the regional district. “We have sports, now it’s our turn,” she said referring to the arts. Scott Anderson said moving forward with arts and culture has to be part of the economy. “It’s the truth that sometimes other services have precedence over arts and culture. The key to making sure arts and culture is properly supported is to have a strong economy.” Dalvir Nahal said she has lost friends with a talent and passion for arts and culture to the coast and would like council and the mayor to remedy that. “If the city is willing to put in a portion (towards the arts), then the passion of the community will help share the burden of the cost.” “It would put Vernon on the map,” said Art Gourley. “We need to give investors the idea to move here and build other things that are important.” James Todd said the city would benefit from having a museum and art gallery facility, with different wings to hold artifacts and host major exhibitions. “Fifty years from now, we can look up or down at it...and see a beautiful building full of art.” Bob Spiers and Colt Wilson were not present at the forum.

Drivers, keep heads up Morning Star Staff
The City of Vernon is shouting “Heads Up.” It’s the name of a campaign the city is launching, asking drivers, pedestrians and cyclists to keep their heads up as the diminishing daylight reduces visibility, and increases the risk of collisions. Pedestrians and cyclists are advised to keep heads up for drivers and to be seen, be safe, and be lit. Wear or carry a light at dusk, in low light or in poor weather. Wear white, bright and reflective clothing. Pay attention and keep heads up at intersections and avoid distractions like texting. Stop, look and listen
and make eye contact with drivers before you cross. Drivers are asked to keep their heads up for pedestrians and cyclists, especially around intersections and in low light. Pay attention. Avoid distracted driving, including texting, and watch for vehicles slowing down around

Silverbacks ice Vipers
Morning Star Staff
With seven points separating second through sixth place in the B.C. Hockey League’s Interior Division, teams can’t afford to take a night off. The Vernon Vipers did just that Friday against the Salmon Arm Silverbacks, who opened a weekend home-and-home set with a 2-1 win at the Shaw Centre. The Snakes (9-6-0-1), who sit one point ahead of the ‘Backs (7-7-0-4), entertained Salmon Arm Saturday at Kal Tire Place. They cap a three-game weekend today (3 p.m.) against the sixth-place Trail Smoke Eaters (8-8) at Cominco Arena. “They were better than we were, simple as that,” said Vipers’ head coach Mark Ferner. “We were flat from the puck drop.” Taro Hirose, the Silverbacks’ leading point-getter with 7-10-17 in 18 games, put the hosts up 1-0 with a powerplay goal at 8:53. Vernon had killed off the first penalty to Johnny Coughlin on a 5-on3, but just as Trevor Fidler was returning to the ice from a high-sticking minor, Hirose beat Jarrod Schamerhorn with a high snap shot from the point. After a scoreless second period in which Salmon Arm outshot Vernon 13-8 (and 35-25 overall), the Gorillas extended their lead on an odd-man rush at 13:59 as Carson Bolduc recorded his team coleading seventh goal. “We gave up too many odd-man rushes,” said Ferner. “We weren’t responsible enough. We didn’t deserve to be in the game.” If it wasn’t for Schamerhorn, who finished with 33 stops, Ferner said the score could have been worse. The Kelowna product has been a steady presence in the absence of suspended keeper Danny Todosychuk, who will be available to play in Trail. “He was really good, and he gave us a chance,” said Ferner. “When you’ve got a 19- and a 20-yearold goalie, both of them want to play. It’s a tough spot to be in because they’re both quality goalies.” Liam Finlay, with his second goal and fourth point in three games since joining the Vipers, broke Angus Redmond’s shutout with 13 seconds to play. With Schamerhorn pulled for the extra attacker, Finlay buried a rebound off a goal-mouth scramble. SNAKE BITES: Ex-Viper Kellen Jones recorded his first goal of the season as the ECHL Bakersfield Condors outlasted the Alaska Aces 3-2 Wednesday night. Jones has 1-7-8 in 10 games, while twin brother Connor has 3-4-7 in 10 games...

The Fulton Maroons went 2-1 to place second in their pool at their senior girls volleyball tournament Friday at Fulton gym. Sharon Shaigec’s Maroons started the day by sweeping the NorKam Saints (25-19, 25-8) and Mt. Boucherie Bears of West Kelowna (25-23, 25-22). They fell to first-place Princess Margaret Mustangs of Penticton in two straight (25-16, 25-21). Fulton battled the Kalamalka Lakers in Saturday crossover play. Kal ranked third in their pool of the eight-team tourney. “I was pleased how our team played right from the first point of the tournament,” said Shaigec. “There was intensity on the floor and the Fulton fans were loud which really motivated the girls.” Shaigec was pleased to see her hitters find a way to get balls past Boucherie’s tall blockers. Setter Nicole Olson connected with middle hitters Megan Rouault and Brittany Skrenek, which helped the Maroons’ outside hitters go one-on-one with the Bears’ blockers. “We served very offensively as a team and once again our defence was stellar,” said Shaigec. “We fell short against No. 6 provincially ranked Princess Margaret. It’s definitely a game we would like back, but we will see them next weekend in the Okanagan Valley Championships.” Power hitter Nazarena Wurz had 22 kills for the night, with Skrenek adding 11 and Aryana Jacura nine. Maggie also went 2-1, icing fourthplace NorKam 25-19, 25-22 and falling 22-25, 25-23, 13-15 to Mt. Boucherie, who finished third. The Vernon Panthers topped the B Pool, stopping Kal (25-21, 25-21), Sa-Hali Sabres of Kamloops (25-22, 22-25, 15-4) and the Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops (22-25, 25-11, 15-9). Sa-Hali and Kal ranked second and third respectively. The Lakers win came against fourth-place Valleyview (25-20, 25-21). VSS met NorKam in their Saturday quarterfinal.

Anthony Ruggiero scored once and added an assist against his old team as the Kelowna Chiefs stuffed the North Okanagan Knights 3-1 Friday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. Ruggiero (2nd goal), who joined Kelowna late last season, sniped the winner midway through the second period then drew a helper on Chase Astorino’s (1st) insurance marker with 5:35 to play in the frame. Josh Kobelka opened the scoring for Kelowna (7-10-2-1) late in period one. Vernon’s Scott Latwat put North Okanagan (2-15-1-2) on the board with a powerplay goal with 1:31 to play in regulation. Layne Greene, another Vernon product, and Knights’ captain Dryden Profeit earned assists. Chiefs’ backup Josh Shank recorded 32 saves for his second win. Mitch Profeit was named the Knights’ game star for his 45-save showing. North Okanagan, losers of seven straight, entertain the Summerland Steam (10-7-0-1) in a 3 p.m. matinee today in Armstrong. Host Summerland fell 3-2 to the Golden Rockets Friday.

Panthers top Interior seed Morning Star Staff
On paper, it was a dream matchup. In reality, it was a wash as the Vernon Panthers pounded the Duchess Park Condors of Prince George 38-0 Friday night in Kamloops. The win earned VSS the No. 1 seed for the Interior/North Senior AA Boys Football Conference heading into provincial playdowns. Duchess Park entered the tilt with a plus-148 point differential and a 5-0 record coming out of the North. The Panthers, also 5-0, were plus-174 as the Interior’s top team. Zac Kronbauer opened the scoring on the game’s first drive, booting a field goal from 33 yards. On the ensuing possession, Duchess came up short on a fourth-and-inches gamble, and 14 plays later, quarterback John Garvie (9-14, 144 yards) hit Karson Patommel for the first of two touchdown passes to put the Panthers up by 10. After moving the ball into Panther territory in the second quarter, the Condors again elected to gamble on a fourth-and-short. A barrage of Vernon players sacked quarterback Jacob Cundy for a loss, and swayed the momentum in the Panthers’ direction for good. Garvie hit Kronbauer for a short gain, and then unleashed a 45-yard bomb to receiver Levi Nicholas to put the Panthers in the red zone. Patommel finished the drive from seven yards out. But Patommel wasn’t done. With 50 seconds to play in the half, he collected his second rushing score from 35 yards, and on the final play of the half, he intercepted an errant pass and returned it 53 yards. Vernon led 31-0 at the break. “This was definitely our best all-around effort as a team,” said VSS head coach Sean Smith. “Our defence, once again, did a great job which gave us good field position all game. They are a big strong team with an o-line that can move people, but our d-line and linebackers responded well. “On offence, I was pleased with the progress of our passing game. We made good decisions and were able to mix it up. Lots of guys made plays today and that’s why we were successful.” Kronbauer hauled in a 12-yard reception in third quarter to cap the scoring. The Panthers, ranked No. 2 in the province, will host the Argyle
Pipers from North Vancouver in opening-round action Friday at Hillside Stadium in Kamloops. The Pipers are the No. 4 seed in the West Division, and Smith is not underestimating them. “They beat the No. 1 team in the province less than a month ago and have a very solid team in all three phases of the game,” he said. “Unfortunately, we drew a No. 4 seed that could very easily be a No. 1 in most conferences, so we will be in for a fight right out of the gates. “Argyle has had a tough league schedule, playing Carson Graham, Ballenas and Barsby, who are all currently ranked in the top-five teams in B.C., so they are well tested.” Meanwhile, the Fulton Maroons capped their Okanagan junior varsity season by stuffing the host Westsyde Blue Wave 54-21 Wednesday afternoon in Kamloops. Quarterback Ike Olson threw for 142 yards (5-of-9) and a trio of touchdown passes, two to Koalden Gudeit (33 yards, five yards) and an 86-yarder to Kyle Karens. Satchel McDermid reached the end zone from seven and 69 yards, Caden Doyle recorded a 36-yard TD run and an 81-yard kickoff return, and Nate Banga ran a fumble recovery back seven yards for Fulton’s other score. Leading 34-15 at halftime, Fulton head coach Mike Scheller got his entire bench in the game. “Everyone got lots of playing time and the boys had a fun game to end their season,” said Scheller. “We will credit Westysde for their attitude and competitiveness. They are small and young, but play tough. “I would like to commend Olson, Doyle, Cole Hunter, Quinn Miller, Hunter Krieger and Andrew Goldenthal on exceptional seasons.” Doyle paced Fulton’s defence with four tackles, while Goldenthal and Yano Jansens each delivered three. Cole Hunter had a fumble recovery. “This was a very good group of kids to work with,” said Scheller. “These guys had to supplement our senior roster all season and they played a ton of football. “We need a few more pieces but will be strong in the future.” Scheller thanked assistant coaches Darryl Thomas, Dale Olson, Bryan Bateman, Kevin Stecyk and Bryann Cragg for their exceptional volunteer hours.

Vernon Home Building Centre Vipers’ Brady Marzocco (left) tries to out-muscle Richmond Blues’ Brady Wang for the puck along the boards in Midget Tier 1 hockey tournament play Friday at Civic Arena.
Builders bow to Blues Morning Star Staff
Carl Main supplied Vernon’s offence as the Home Building Centre Vipers opened their Midget Tier 1 hockey tournament with a 4-1 loss to the Richmond Blues Friday night at Civic Arena. Vernon continued the eight-team tourney against the Bow Valley Flames of Alberta Saturday morning and took on the Coquitlam Chiefs that night. In other opening-night action, the North Kamloops Lions pounced on the Salmon Arm Silvertips 8-3, North Shore Winter Club Winterhawks doubled the Vancouver Thunderbirds 6-3, and Bow Valley thrashed Coquitlam 9-2. In Bantam Tier 1 tournament play Friday in Penticton, the Sun Valley Source For Sports Vipers bowed 3-1 to Calgary. Vernon trailed by a goal after one period, but Eric Noren fired home a great pass from Joe Eggert to tie it just before the mid-game flood. The teams traded chances in very tight game,

but the Snakes found themselves down 2-1 heading into the third frame. The Vipers rolled three strong lines and matched up well against their Alberta rivals, but could not put another puck past the steady Calgary netminder. Vernon’s Dylan Sedlacek earned game MVP for his strong play on the blueline, while his brother Tyler stood tall in making 28 saves. The Vipers faced Port Coquitlam early Saturday. The Vernon Fix Auto Vipers went 1-1 Friday at the Winfield Bruins Bantam Rep Hockey Tournament. Nick Mitchell pulled the hat trick as the Vipers stopped the Kelowna Rockets 7-1 Friday afternoon. Lincoln Connor (2), Griffin Evans and Lucas Wood also scored for the Vipers, whose MVP was d-man Ethan Joe with two assists. Blueliner Dayton Bryan pocketed three assists and Bryan Brew added two for Vernon, who had Dylan Blazek in net. The Vipers bowed 7-1 to the host Bruins Friday morning with Mitchell scoring from in tight, assists going to Brew and Zach Agar. Mitchell took game MVP with goalie Dalton Stenberg stellar with 28 saves. In Bantam Super League action, the Five Star Awards Coyotes grounded DCT Chambers Cougars 6-3. Reid Lawrence, from d-man Tanner FranjeGilbert and Chapperon Chillihitzia, supplied the first Coyote snipe, while Taryn Best replied unassisted for DCT. D-man Elias Wery converted a nice rush to give the Coyotes a 2-1 lead after two periods. Nicholas Maglio was stellar in the first half for the Coyotes, allowing only one goal. The Coyotes came out howling in the third period and rang up four straight goals: Lawrence on a solo snipe; Wery, assisted by Lawrence; blueliner Jadon Foster, unassisted, and Franje-Gilbert, assisted by Keenon Jaberg and Talon Williams. The Cougars replied with late goals from Kayden Doughty, assisted by Taryn Best, and a beauty roof job by Zachary Laranjo, unassisted. Jordan Foster of the Coyotes made some phenomenal saves after the midway ice clean.

Alvin and Donna Erdman celebrate their 55th anniversary this year. They were married Oct. 17, 1959 in Lethbridge, Alta., and moved to Vernon in 1969. Alvin and Donna went from farming in Alberta to excavating, blasting, contractor and school, kindergarten and music teacher in Vernon, all while raising their four daughters, Maureen Suzanne, Deanne and Michelle. They have had an exciting life together. They are proud to have eight grandchildren and four greatgrandchildren. The couple has since retired and love to travel the globe. Their daughters and family members wish them a very happy 55th.

Alvin and Donna Erdman were married Oct. 17, 1959 and celebrate their 55th wedding anniversary this year.
Herberts celebrate 70th anniversary On Nov. 13, 1944 Barbara Meyerhoffer of Francis, Sask. and Donald Herbert, originally of Eckville, Alta., were married in Regina in the presence of several friends and Don’s grandparents. As a teenager, Don had moved to the homestead of his grandparents to help out because of manpower shortages caused by the Second World War. There he met another teenager, Barb, who was also working for the Downs family, but as a maid/cook. Several years later, at the ages of 19 and 20, they became husband and wife. Little did they know that they would see 70 years of marriage, numerous careers and moves criscrossing three provinces. After several years hiring themselves out as farm hand and cook they eventually rented a large wheat farm near Lewvan, Sask. where they raised their two daughters, Donna (born in 1945) and Diane (1946). The farm providing insufficient income, Don left family behind and traveled to Alexo, Alta., near Rocky Mountain House, to work as a coal miner for several winters, returning to Saskatchewan to farm in the summer. Eventually, the whole family picked up stakes and accompanied him to Alberta, first to Alexo, and then Cardiff north of Edmonton, where he ran the coal tipple. A few years later they made another move, this time to Penhold and then to Red Deer, where Don eventually went to work for Carlings Brewery while Barb worked at a psychiatric hospital in housekeeping. By the early ‘70s they made their final job moves to Edmonton where Don became a millwright for Molson Breweries and Barb took over as housekeeping supervisor for several Edmonton hospitals. In 1979, at the ages of 54 and 55, Don and Barb both took retirement and headed for

Donald and Barbara Herbert wed Nov. 13, 1944 and celebrate their 70th anniversary this year. Celista on the Shuswap where they had been building their retirement cabin with the help of their two daughters and sons-in-law. The location was chosen for its mid distance between Calgary and the coast where their daughters lived. There they enjoyed all the things they didn’t have time for while they worked. Don loved fishing and millwright work while Barbara did all the crafts and needlework she had craved over the years and both gardened enough to feed armies. Twenty years into retirement they made their final move into Graceland in Vernon which proved to be a perfect location until several years ago when Barbara broke her hip. This necessitated her move into Heritage Square assisted living. A second broken hip put even more limitations on her mobility but the excellent care there has helped her remain fairly active until recently. It was at the activity centre at Graceland where Don and Barb’s remaining daughter Diane Mortensen and her husband Klaus, along with her granddaughter, Shelley Johnston and her husband Todd and their two sons,
Blair and Alix, hosted a party for them Oct. 25 to celebrate their 70th anniversary, as well as Barbara’s 90th birthday. This was attended by close to 50 friends, neighbours and family. The party culminated 70 years of hard work on both their parts as well as the importance of helping and holding their friends.

The remembrance flower CHRIS MCBEATH Special To The Morning Star
EUROPE - As delicate as they appear, corn poppies are an enduring flower. Scattered randomly by the wind, their seeds flourish in freshly turned soil, often turning just-ploughed fields into unexpected seas of crimson. In the shellshocked and graveridden landscapes of Flanders during the First World War, those seas became oceans of sudden beauty across the morass of sodden wasteland. That the blood-red poppy should become such a significant symbol of remembrance is thanks only in part to John McCrae’s famous poem, In Flanders Fields. It was, in fact an American woman, Moina Michael, who responded to McCrae’s clarion call to keep the faith; she conceived the poppy movement. Ironically, poppies never caught on in the U.S., but like the seed the idea scattered and took hold overseas. First in war-torn France where Madam Guerin started to handmake poppies to raise money for war orphans and destitute women, and then to the British Foreign Legion who adopted, evolved, and have now mentored the concept for almost 100 years. Nowhere is this better seen than at the Menin Gate Memorial, Ypres, Belgium where, every night, you can participate in, or simply witness the Last Call ceremony, one of the most poignant daily acts of remembrance. Ypres witnessed some of the Great War’s bloodiest battles and was razed to rubble twice, after the Great War and the Second World War. Its rebuild however, was so carefully executed the authenticity of its historic charm belies that truth. Located at the city gate nearest to the
Front, the Menin Gate Memorial is a barrelvaulted mausoleum where the names of 54,986 Commonwealth soldiers whose bodies were never found, are etched into the marble walls. The names of the remaining 34,984 missing are remembered at Tynecote Cemetery although in both cases, those lists are constantly changing. Even today, human remains continue to be unearthed. Each receives a proper burial in one of the region’s many war cemeteries of the various nations that fought during 1914-1918. In Ypres, poppies proliferate year round — woven into wreaths, crosses and bouquets of gratitude that are placed beneath the gate’s triumphant arch, and in its rooftop garden. Here, every night, bugles sound out the Last Post. Here, the act of Remembrance is honoured by anyone who wishes either as onlooker or participant, and is where veterans and children alike lay wreaths for fallen comrades, the infirm, family members, causes and charities. Although attendance dwindled as veterans died, McCrae’s words have touched the hearts of younger generations. What attracted only a handful of people a decade ago has grown to include more than a hundred almost every day come snow, sleet and rain. And at 11 a.m., Nov. 11, Remembrance Day, the crowds swell to crush capacity and usually include members of the British and Belgium royal families. Nov. 11 is the only time when poppies fall from the gate’s vaulted ceiling in their thousands, commemorating the more than 10 million military personnel who died during what is widely considered the deadliest conflict in human history. The scale of the First

World War is hard to grasp. It was the first
mechanized war and as such, the total of military and civilian casualties were devastating; some counts estimate nearly 16 million. Crude weaponry, gas attacks (mustard gas was first used near Ypres) and arrogant orders that sent young men, armed only with bayonets and rifles and barely old enough to shave, over the top, losses quickly compounded. As much as the Great War annihilated our ignorance of fighting glory it was also where Commonwealth countries, such as Canada, forged their nationhood. The April 1917 bat-
tle for Vimy Ridge in France will forever be the Canadian triumph; and as the late Pierre Burton noted, the defining point of national identity that was fused with courage, spirit and determination. John McCrae’s bunker in Flanders Fields is equal testament to those values and perhaps, even more than that. Like the poppies he describes, his poem speaks to an enduring and persistent hope. Lest we forget, wear your poppy with pride and gratitude. Chris McBeath is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

Red Door Studio adds artisan touch Morning Star Staff
The Red Door Studio & Artisan Market is hoping to become a one-stop beauty shop on Vernon’s 30th Avenue. A collaboration between beautician Lindsay James and esthetician Caldeeda Ross, Red Door is a fullservice salon and spa, with the added bonus of beauty products and crafts created by local talent. The duo held an open house late last month, and opened its trademark red door for business Nov. 1. “Things are going really good,” said James, formerly of Evolve Studio. “I am stoked about it.” In addition to traditional salon and spa services – haircuts, eye lash extensions, waxing, manicures, pedicures, facials and massage – James has set up a series of shelves in her 800 square-foot shop where local companies can offer their wares. Product lines include beauty and skin, hair accessories, toques, bags, scarves, jewelry, pillows, artisan cards, magnets, soap nuts and fashion. There are already 20 vendors, with five more on the way, and James anticipates being at capacity by January. “I just want it to be somewhat complementary (to the salon),” said James, of her criteria for the market products. Asked about the idea behind the market, she said: “A good friend of mine (Heidi Jordan) owns the Wild Oak Cafe in Armstrong. She just really inspired me to support local. “I love the farmers’ market and all the amazing crafts that people make.”

Through the weekly sessions, Regan said participants will learn about the six different personalities of dogs, the eight keys of training, proper equipment to use, as well as voice commands and hand signals.

Social media ‘bootcamp’ on tap Morning Star Staff
For many small business owners, ‘social media’ is still a bad word, something they don’t quite understand and hope to get around to someday. In the meantime, three local social media experts say a business could be missing out on connections as well as sales. Enter Social Media 101, a bootcamp of sorts to help small business owners understand and take advantage of social media tools such as blogging and Twitter. “Using social media can actually be easy and really powerful once you get behind the how and why and when of it,” said organizer and Sproing Creative co-owner Heath Fletcher. “Those are the stumbling blocks we want to help people get over so they can get excited about building their brand and their following.” Social Media 101, being held Nov. 17 at the Vernon branch of the Okanagan Regional Library is made up of three sessions. The first session, Social Media with a Purpose, presented by Fletcher,
uncovers the value of using social media and steps to creating a social media strategy. The second session, How to Blog for Your Business, is presented by Natalie Appleton, owner of Read Head Copywriting. How to Blog helps participants discover tips for coming up with topics as well as ways to make blog posts engaging and optimized for search engines. “If your blog content is findable and enjoyable to read, that’s going to translate to more site traffic and probably sales,” said Appleton. In the third session, Twitter 101, marketing consultant Keli Westgate explains all things Twitter – from ‘tweeting’ to finding followers as ways to promote your business. “Your customers aren’t just local residents,” said Westgate. “There are people all over the world who are on social media and could come across your business, and become a customer.” Register for one, two or all three sessions, which begin at 9 a.m., by visiting http://sproing.ca/socialmedia-101/.
NexusBC offers youth training Morning Star Staff
NexusBC is sponsoring a retail, tourism and hospitality training program for youth. “We’re excited about this new training opportunity for ages 18-25,” said Patricia Niehaus, program coordinator. “Currently there are very little training opportunities for youth in these specific industry sectors in the North Okanagan.” Niehaus said the need for this type of program is great, as retail, tourism and hospitality industries are growing, and employers are finding it increasingly difficult to find job-ready employees. Studies have indicated that the hospitality industry is expected to have a significant labour shortage. “Having the training available for employees to succeed in the industry is key, and having this training would allow employees to start a career, not just a job,” said Jana Gohl, operations manager at Sparkling Hill Resort. The program will provide 10 weeks of paid practical training to help youth get a job in the retail, tourism or hospitality industry. Participants
will receive job-appropriate certificate training like FoodSafe and Serving It Right, as well as help with communication, teamwork, conflict resolution, work-life balance and workplace culture. Guest speakers and workplace tours will give real information about jobs in these industries. Participants will also improve their job search skills like resume and cover letter writing, interview skills, labour market information, personal marketing and networking. A large component of this training program comes through NexusBC’s partnership with Okanagan College. “Each participant will receive 120 hours of workplace essential skills training that is customized to their individual needs,” said Niehaus. “These are the foundational skills used to carry out work tasks and they’re the building blocks used to learn new ones.” The training runs from Nov. 24 to Feb. 13, and the deadline for application is Wednesday. Eligibility requirements are available online at www. nexusbc.ca.

a contentious subject of late, incumbent Tundra Baird noted the current council gave third reading to a metered water rate bylaw Monday. She feels the bylaw, which sets a flat rate for single-family homes, is a fair compromise. “On average, as it was, everyone’s paying about $1.10 a day for fresh water,” said Baird, who operates family-run Lorenzo’s Cafe in Ashton Creek. “That’s pretty reasonable, and we still have to treat it as it goes out the other end into the sewer.” Brad Case, a three-term councillor and financial advisor, is in favour of ongoing upgrades to water, sanitation and street improvements to keep Enderby’s infrastructure up to date. However, he noted that with the water system, the public can delay costly upgrades simply through conservation. “We need to reduce the amount of water we’re using as a group,” said Case, noting that the system is near capacity during peak summer periods, and that it would cost $7 million to install the next upgrade. “We know what it costs to create potable drinking water to IHA standards. We know what it costs to deliver it and to make our services last into the future.”

Eight candidates lay out priorities for Enderby Continued from A20 Roxanne Davyduke, an account manager with VantageOne, would like to see more social services to support youth in the community. “I would like to engage our youth and make them aware of a lot of the things that are happening in the community and make them part of what’s going on,” said Davyduke. She would also like Enderby develop its natural strengths as a tourism draw, including improving and expanding the river walk. “I really appreciate the variety we have to offer in the community,” she said. “We have a lot to do with the tourism industry.” Raquel Knust, a health care worker, feels she is better equipped to handle the rigors of politics having a term as councillor under her belt. “It has been a learning curve with lots of questions asked,” said Knust, who feels it is essential Enderby grows its downtown core. “We need to have all those businesses full downtown. We need business to come to town and open up shop here.” With the Enderby integrated community sustainability plan, along with the recently adopted official community plan, Knust said there is a blueprint for the community moving forward. “The opportunity for growth and prosperity is

Incumbent councillors Tundra Baird and Brad Case go over their notes one last time before the all-candidates forum Tuesday in Enderby. imminent,” she said. Having lived in town for 19 years, Jim Macknee joked he is “almost an Enderbite.” Like his running mates, Macknee, a carpenter, would like to see Enderby promote itself as a destination for both tourism and commerce. “A lot of people already do come to Enderby,” he said. “They
go salmon fishing, they go float down the river in the summertime. Enderby has been know as a gateway, not only to the Okanagan, but the Shuswap. Why can’t we develop that?” Paul McCaig, who has been in Enderby since 1975, earned the biggest laugh with his opening line: “Imagine my surprise, I thought
we were doing flu shots here tonight.” A former two-term councillor, McCaig is running to ensure Enderby remains fiscally responsible. “The most important thing to me is to keep Enderby an affordable place to live, for seniors and for the young people,” said McCaig, who founded Kelmac Industries and now works at Central Hardware. “We have industry showing up now, and hopefully more job creation will come. Our tax base and our tax rate and the charges that we have need to be looked at seriously.” Brian Schreiner, who lived in Enderby in the mid-70s, and moved back in 2009, says community prosperity goes hand in hand with financial success.

However, without a fulltime economic development officer, Schreiner said the mayor, council and chamber have to fill the void. “We have to invite businesses to come here,” he said. “Downtown has to be improved. We also have to shop local. I don’t want to be a bedroom community to Vernon or Salmon Arm.”
Shawn Shishido, a chiropractor, has raised three children in Enderby and would like to see more social programs for seniors and families. “If we can keep it affordable here, that will encourage people to come, and have those services in place,” he said. “Once they’re in
place, people can stay local, shop local.” He added that would have a ripple effect on business: “If people on the outside see that they have a community that is willing to support whatever business comes to town, they’re more willing set up here.” The forum was hosted by the Enderby Chamber of Commerce.

IRONsmart Hair Loss, No Energy, Dark Under Eye Circles? You need IRONsmart! Low iron causes dark circles under the eyes, no energy, peeling fingernails, dizziness and feeling cold to name a few. And low iron is the leading reason for hair loss in women. And you don’t have to be anemic to have these symptoms. Having a test for iron that is in the “low normal” range is enough to cause these symptoms. We should be getting 20mg of iron from our diet everyday but because we have reduced red meat and egg yolk consumption iron deficiency in kids, adults and the elderly is now common. Now there is an iron supplement that does not cause digestive complaints or constipation and raises iron quickly.

The Interior Provincial Exhibition has walked away with some provincial hardware. During the B.C. Fairs convention in Abbotsford, the Armstrong fair’s Shirley Fowler was named volunteer of the year and the IPE was tops in the agricultural education exhibit category. “It is an awesome accomplishment to be recognized on a provincial level,” said Bryan Burns, IPE general manager. As a long-time volunteer of the fair, Fowler has served as a director, vegetable division director, executive member, vice-president and president. “With years of dedicated service to the fair industry and instrumental in the growth and development of the IPE, Shirley puts in countless hours and energy into ensuring the success of our fair,” said Burns. In terms of the agricultural education exhibit award, it recognizes the IPE’s agricultural displays and demonstrations during the annual event. “This category was to share how we provide education to the public about agriculture in an interesting, innovative manner from signage, a display or an interactive exhibit,” said Burns. In the members’ choice awards, the winner at the IPE in the B.C. Fairs special class in photography, sewing and hobbies was well represented. “These exhibitors are the foundation of agricultural fairs and we are so proud of their contributions”, said Jeanne Noble Harter, IPE president. Elizabeth Wikkering, from the Deep Creek Dairy Club, placed third with a 4-H educational board display on haying.

the seven candidates for Vernon and two for Coldstream were asked how to help learners be successful. Vernon candidate Lisa De Boer told the crowd at Vernon Secondary School that the key is to work on the system itself, beginning with funding. “The teachers do incredible things out there and we need to be student-centric, we can’t just rely on our diagnostic tools, which are great, but we also need to look at how they develop as learners, that qualitative approach,” she said. For Vernon trustee Steve Connor, student success is always uppermost in his mind.
KATHERINE MORTIMER/MORNING STAR
Mollie Bono and Steve Connor take part in the Vernon School District all-candidates forum Tuesday. “And trustees can help by listening to staff, and by putting resources where they are needed,” he said. Vernon trustee Perry
Wainwright said programs like the Vernon Community School are a great example of ways in which this district has expanded beyond
the traditional classroom. “I would like to see this program be an example of how we can strengthen relationships between all parties,” he said Candidates were also asked whether class size and composition language should be included in the teachers’ collective agreement. Vernon incumbent Kelly Smith said at one time it was in the contract and that there are class size limits in place. “But composition is the most serious issue,” she said. “As a special ed teacher, I have always juggled class size and special ed students, so I know how difficult it is.”

needs of all children. Vernon incumbent Mollie Bono would like to see this district lobby other school districts to find creative ways of dealing with budget shortfalls. “The budget for anything to do with children is really undervalued in this province, and we need to make the government
accountable,” she said. Coldstream candidate Robert Lee added that the math problem is easy. “If you don’t have a lot of money, and you divide it, you get less, so we have to keep lobbying the government, but we should be talking directly with our MLA and all Okanagan boards should talk to
their MLAs and eventually they will have the ear of the government.” Coldstream incumbent Bill Turanski said the board has made every effort to get more funding for the district, including meeting with Education Minister Peter Fassbender and MLA Eric Foster. The recent cuts to district bus routes and
implementation of a 2.4-kilometre walk limit brought a variety of suggestions. “I’m not opposed to busing, but I think a higher priority is for money to be placed in the classrooms,” said Vernon candidate Brenda Giffin. “But when you take away something, you need to provide some-

the last thing people need.” Spallumcheen council recently wrote a letter to Energy Minister Bill Bennett stating that smart meters are a concern for residents and it wants assurances that the devices cause no fires, don’t have harmful radiation and aren’t prone to inaccuracy causing overbilling. Until those issues are clarified, Spallumcheen council is asking that property owners be allowed to use analog meters.

School puts on sombreros for fundraiser Morning Star Staff
The Mexico Mission provides Vernon Christian School’s Grade 9 students a real-life encounter. This annual mission trip gathers together the school-based experiences that begin in the primary grades with serving and sharing in local missions, culminating in an out-of-country experience, facing poverty and families in need, first-hand. “A lot of time and energy is required each year to meet the financial requirements of this trip,” said Corinne Remple, communications and development at VCS. “Each year VCS students pick apples and prepare stacks of pies. They scamper around selling a variety of products, from poinsettias to chocolates. “This year the fundraising team is counting on local mission trip enthusiasts to help support their fundraising efforts in a way that will benefit your stomach and your heart.” To help students reach their goal, a Mexican
“
fiesta fundraising dinner takes place Nov. 14, and Remple is encouraging everyone to think of it as more than a meal. “Think of it as an opportunity to meet new friends while supporting an integral VCS program,” she said. Tickets are $10, available at the school office or at www.vcs.ca (via Paypal). The Mexican Fiesta Dinner takes place Nov. 14; doors open at 5:30 p.m., dinner is at 6 p.m. Entertainment and a dessert auction will add to the fun. In order to indulge your sweet tooth, your table will have to pool funds and bid on your favourite. “All proceeds will support our students’ efforts to raise the money they require to travel to Mexico to build a home for a family in need, and all are welcome.” Remple asks that anyone who would like to purchase a ticket to do so by Wednesday. For more information, call 250-545-7345 or visit www.vcs.ca.

Voting is a way of honouring those who served
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow between the crosses row on row. That marks our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly, Scarce heard amid the guns below.” Lt.-Col. John McCrae wrote the poem In Flanders Fields in 1915. The war went on until Nov. 11, 1918. Sixteen million people died Michele Blais in that war which is often referred to as the worst, deadliest conflict of all time. Ninety nine years ago McCrae, a Canadian physician, penned the poem that would be read by school children, soldiers and leaders every Remembrance Day. A day to recognize when the First World War ended and now to remember and honour soldiers of many wars. Since the poem was written, there have been many wars, military actions and thousands and thousands of men and women and children have died in battle in front lines or a victim of it. The red poppy is a symbol to wear that recognizes the soldiers who died in war. There are white poppies being worn now as symbols of peace. The poppies are also a way to show support for the current military, a simple gesture that can be meaningful for past and pres-
The Way I see IT
ent. Perhaps the white ones look to the future? A world living in peace. Imagine. “We are the dead. Short days ago we lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow Loved and were loved, and now we lie in Flanders Fields.” My mom used to talk about the Second World War and having her friends die. She joined the air force and worked in hospitals. My father was unable to go to war, much to his disappointment because of a medical condition, so he worked building airplanes. There was a whole regiment from Mom’s community of young men she grew up with sailing on the Detroit River, playing baseball, attending school together, daydreaming on the dock about their bright futures. It all changed when the Second World War was declared and Canadian boys and young men signed up for active duty. Many lying about their age so they could go and fight the enemy. In one horrible battle 25 young men from a small community the size of Armstrong were dead. Sons, brothers, husbands, friends, dead. This has been repeated time and time again: the telegram, the visit, the phone call. “Loved and were loved,” and the families and friends grieve, and wonder. Wonder about why they died, hoping it was for the right reasons that they sacrificed a life, and what their life may have been like had they lived. “Take up our quarrel with the foe, To you from failing hands, we throw, the
Torch; be yours to hold it high, If we break faith with us who die. We shall not sleep, though poppies grow in Flanders Fields.” This poem was created in 1915 and the First World War ended Nov. 11, 1918; that’s a long time ago. But as a country we are still taking up the quarrel with the foe, and that foe has changed over the years. Former foes are now friends — Japan, Germany — and will we say that in the future about those we battle today and will there always be a foe? Canadian men and women have given their lives for many reasons, and our ability to enjoy our democracy and our rights and freedoms is one of them. One right we enjoy is the right to vote for our leaders of our communities, provinces and our country and have those votes mean something. And the right not to vote. However I have experienced those who don’t vote often have strong opinions of the leadership of the day yet do not bother to invest the time (and this has been improved to accommodate varied schedules) in the voting process or in putting their own name forward to hold office. Of course that is their right in our free society. To have an opinion that they can voice freely, I just believe it is more credible with participation in the process. I hope our youth vote, join in and be a part of this, you can make a difference. If you just do the math and all the youth in Vernon between 18 to 25 voted, and with
the apathy of the other voters, they could significantly influence our community. Your one vote does count, just ask someone who has lost by one vote, or 20. I’d like to thank all the mayors, council members and school board representatives who have served their communities for the past three years. Thank you for the hours and hours you have put in with reading reports, researching decisions, attending various meetings, taking phone calls, chance meetings on the streets, in restaurants with the citizens; for the time missed with your family and friends, and away from better paying work. Thank you for the contribution you have made. I also want to thank the individuals who are running for the various positions and wish you well. Thank you for stepping up and believing you can make a difference and wanting to take on this challenging task. I can’t help but think of Patrick Nicol at this time and I will miss marking an X by his name on the ballot this Nov. 15. Thank you to those who organize the elections and to the voters who come out and say, “my community is important and I want a say in its leadership.” There is always a connection for me between the poppy and elections. Please wear the poppy proudly, support our Legions, and vote. “Be yours to hold it high.”

ner tray, surrounded his curtained cubicle and then I noticed them moving gingerly, with purpose. I pulled the curtain back to encounter a fellow of undetermined age, lying on the bed. He suspiciously scrutinized me, eyes flecked with fear. It was then I noticed the same black-headed rice grains swimming around his trouser leg, tiny sailors marooned from their ship. Maggots. He shared with me the story of his solitary existence deep in the woods under the canopy of Stanley Park. He left only to forage in the dumpsters or panhandle for a few coins. A hospital visit was a trying and dangerous visit beyond the wall, but necessary, because he had lacerated
his leg on a dumpster. The wound festered and refused to heal. Weeks later, a maggot or two appeared in the wound and then it became a handful every morning. He scraped them off each day but somehow they returned. I removed his solid sock to find the significant wound on his lower leg swirling with a frenzy of fat, industrious maggots. Scooping the local residents off the wound, I was impressed to find a pristine ulcer bed. The maggots had kept this gentleman’s wound as fresh and clean as a surgeon’s knife. Fascinated by the sight, I went from revulsion to awe at the maggot’s diligent expertise. Why, I thought, don’t we use maggots to clean wounds? Then I discovered that we do, but not so much in Canada (due to import restrictions). Specially reared U.S. maggots that only devour necrotic tissue are raised to debride wounds and burns. In patients with non-healing wounds where other methods are too painful or have failed, maggot therapy can be offered. The man in cubicle #5? His underlying medical problems and his wound were successfully treated in hospital. I discharged him a week later and he returned to Stanley Park, the only place he was willing to go.

Praise Murray

Arts
st. vincent:
ecently divorced Maggie (Melissa McCarthy) and her young son Oliver (Jaeden Lieberher) move to Brooklyn to start a new life. When her work keeps her late everyday, Oliver begins spending time with an unlikely nanny, the miserable drunken curmudgeon Vincent (Bill Murray), who lives next door. During the time spent with Vincent and his only friend, a pregnant Russian prostitute named Daka (Naomi Watts), Oliver discovers there are reasons for Vincent’s behaviour that no one else can see and that Vincent is more like a saint than any of the so-called Taylor and Howe normal people in his life. We say, “St. Vincent has great characters and a predictable plot.” TAYLOR: This is a nice, feel good, tidy little picture, but it’s not breaking any new ground. The story clips along, has the obligatory disaster at the three quarter mark and everything works out in the end. Surprise! However, the performances, particularly by the leads, are strong enough, with interesting characters to keep us entertained. HOWE: This is the first time that I can truly say that I have enjoyed watching McCarthy in a movie. Gone is the loud, obnoxious and downright foulmouthed role she normally plays, showing this time out that she has some acting talent. Murray plied his usual style of character, maybe not as crazy as he once was, but he still is very effective in this role. It looks like we could have a future star in the making with young Lieberher. TAYLOR: I agree, McCarthy can act and it was nice to see her portray someone I could like. I also agree that Murray can reign it in and give us multiple dimensions. His Vincent might have been a little on the nose, which is probably the result of the writing, as Murray’s performance was not nearly as cartoonish as it usually is. I can’t say the same for the usually awesome Naomi Watts. The physicality of her pregnancy was not particularly believable and her Russian accent was bordering on an imitation of Natasha from The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. Still, this is a fine, quiet, light film with laughs, comfortable drama and reasonable scenarios. HOWE: So if you are fed up with the superheros, had enough of beat-em-ups or have no kids to take to the animated films, this is a very well acted and put together movie. – Howe gives it 3 types of religions out of 5. – Taylor gives it 3 trifectas out 5.

OSO welcomes musica intima Morning Star Staff
Van Morrison and Laura Branigan are not the only performers to sing out Gloria. The Okanagan Symphony Orchestra (OSO) is about to be joined by Vancouver’s lower case vocal ensemble musica intima when it brings its November series, entitled Gloria!, to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Nov. 16. “This month’s concert features renowned chamber music choir musica intima who will join the OSO for music of unmatched beauty and expressiveness,” said OSO music director Rosemary Thomson. “Called the most exciting small choir in the land, we combine their purity of tone with the OSO strings for Vivaldi’s beautiful Gloria and music of our time that will leave you breathless. This concert will be so beautiful.” Internationally renowned for their warm and engaging stage presence, impeccable musicianship, and unique perspective on ensemble singing, musica intima has earned a reputation as Canada’s most exciting vocal ensemble. Founded in 1992, the 12-member group has released six recordings including a piece which won Classical Recording of the Year (2010) at the Western Canadian Music Awards, and a 10-star review in BBC Music Magazine. They have also been nominated for several Juno awards.
The concert will also feature the ensemble performing music written by Vancouver composers Jordan Noble and Jocelyn Morlock. Nobles’ composition includes a string orchestra arrangement that was created for the OSO and will make its premiere at the November concert. Written in 2006 and commissioned by the Canadian Music Centre, Coriolus is a 12-part choral piece that musica intima premiered in 2006. “I am pleased to have created a string arrangement for the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra that will premiere with this show,” said Nobles. “(It) is dedicated to my friends Jennifer Butler and Michael Begg.” Morlock’s Exaudi was originally commissioned by musica intima and made its premiere in 2004 in Vancouver with the choir performing with cellist Steven Isserlis. The OSO’s principle cellist Audrey King will perform the piece with musica intima for its Okanagan shows. “Exaudi was written for a concert about memory, mourning, and loss,” said Morlock. “My grandmother died in the year prior to me writing it. Exaudi is loosely based on her emotional and spiritual life as I saw it from a distance, in addition to being written out of love for her.” Tickets for the Nov. 16 performance at 7 p.m., are now available at the Ticket Seller in the Performing Arts Centre Call 250-549-7469 or visit ticketseller.ca.

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

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder WHO CAN MAKE WHICH CONTRACT? Jacob Bronowski, who wrote the wonderful “Ascent of Man” series, said, “Knowledge is an unending adventure at the edge of uncertainty.” During most bridge deals, you have some definite knowledge - your own hand - and some fairly reliable data - the actions of the other players. However, there are deals in which you will be faced with uncertainty. In today’s deal, who can make what? North should have opened one club, not one diamond, which coincidentally would have picked off his opponents’ suit. When he bid one diamond, East had an easy two-club overcall. (He was too short in spades
for a takeout double.) Then, South’s two-spade response promised 10 points. But he liked his big diamond fit and club void. West produced a pre-emptive club raise. (With a good hand, he would have cue-bid three diamonds.) After that, North raised spades, East bid game to make, South took an eachway bet with five spades, and East doubled for penalty. Note that South was right. Even with the clubs breaking 3-0, five clubs is laydown. Suppose South leads the spade jack. East wins, cashes dummy’s top trumps, then runs the heart jack. When the finesse wins and the suit is 3-3, dummy’s spade loser disappears on East’s fourth heart. Against five spades doubled, West led the club
ace. Declarer ruffed and drove out the spade ace. He ruffed the second club, drew trumps, and ran the diamonds, pitching two hearts from dummy. Five spades doubled bid and made! To defeat the contract (by two tricks), West had to lead the heart jack.

Above all she prided the family she created and loved to visit us and share stories over a cup of coÄŤee at her kitchen table. She was a life-long learner, learning with each new generaĆ&#x;on. She began studying for her LSAd with one of her grandsons at the age of 84.

Marjorie M. Graves Jan. 27, 1934 - Nov. 1, 2007
We little knew that day, God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death, we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you. You did not go alone. For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide. And although we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.

A Very Big, Heartfelt Thank You … To the individuals, parents, retired teachers, businesses and organizations that so generously provided teachers with donations of gift cards, food, contributions to our Hardship Fund and kind words of support during our recent job action.
Hydro issues alert Morning Star Staff
Fraudsters posing as B.C. Hydro employees continue to contact customers by telephone in an attempt to steal money from residents and small businesses –
particularly restaurants. B.C. Hydro initially warned customers of the scam in early September. Since then, more customers have come forward with additional details.
We thank you and are immensely grateful. Often, it was the wonderful actions of others that kept us going most days. We continue to be humbled by your gifts.
Welcome
Thanks again.

“According to reports, the fraudulent calls may come from a 1-800 phone number. The customer’s call display may show B.C. Hydro or display a legitimate B.C. Hydro phone number. This is done through spoofing,” states a press release. B.C. Hydro is reminding customers that it does not collect credit card or bank account information over the telephone and B.C. Hydro does not take payment from cash gift cards. Customers are also reminded that if they receive a call from someone representing B.C. Hydro and they doubt the authenticity of the call, they should hang up and call back B.C. Hydro at 1-800-BCHYDRO or 1-800-224-9376. “If an account is in arrears, BC Hydro will send several notices through the mail asking for payment and also use an automated dialer to remind customers to make a payment before electricity supply is impacted,” states the release. “Customers can check their account status online through bchydro.com.” B.C. Hydro customers are asked to report these calls by calling 1-800-BC-HYDRO, the police or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501.
