Joint referendum urged RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Cultural advocates want to put a doubleheader before Greater Vernon residents. The Vernon Public Art Gallery will ask the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee Thursday to add a borrowing referendum for a new gallery on to an anticipated vote to twin Kal Tire Place. “By combining the vote for a second ice sheet at Kal Tire Place and a new facility for the VPAG, GVAC would be following the precedent set by the successful vote for Kal Tire Place and the Performing Arts Centre in 1999 when the economy was also in a downturn,” said Andrew Powell, VPAG president, in a letter. “In our view, it would be short sighted and irresponsible not to at least consider holding a joint referendum even if that consideration results in a further month or two of delay before a decision is made.” Powell suggests that having individual referendums could lead to voter fatigue and less support.
GVAC’s chairperson isn’t speculating on what may be done with the art gallery’s request. “It will be discussed,” said Juliette Cunningham. Staff is recommending that the referendum request be added to the agenda of GVAC’s upcoming workshop on cultural facilities. “We will learn a lot from our facilities discussion,” said Cunningham. “We have to discuss what we are spending per capita (on culture) and how we compare to other communities.” While VPAG advocates a single referendum for multiple items, Cunningham believes combined construction dollars could scare voters off. “The risk is taxpayers are facing lots of demands.” It’s also not known when a referendum on a new ice sheet may occur because the provincial government has not signed off on the process yet. In his letter, Powell states that the region has outgrown the art gallery in the parkade.
“We are limited by inadequate space to safely house, exhibit and provide programming for our expanding community,” he said. “The space is simply not up to the task and our region requires a class A space worthy of our vibrant and growing community. A new class A facility, built with cultural conservation and exhibition in mind, will increase the gallery’s revenues by opening doors to new funding streams such as Canada Council grants, acquisition grants and rental income from event space.” Powell added that class A galleries can issue tax receipts for donated artwork. “Just recently, the gallery lost the opportunity to add to the assets of the community’s permanent collection a Rita Letendre original work worth $75,000 because, as a class B facility, we were unable to issue the appropriate tax receipted for donated work. Rita Letendre is a prominent Canadian artist, an officer of the Order of Canada and a recipient of the Governor General’s Award. This loss is a tragedy and is an embarrassment to our community.”
Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP are investigating another shots fired case. Police were called to a property in the 6400 block of Highway 6 in Coldstream shortly after 1:30 a.m. Saturday after receiving numerous reports of shots fired. “The RCMP conducted an initial investigation at the location and determined that there was a confrontation in the front yard area, in front of a large barn on the property, which resulted in shots being fired,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy, who said “multiple shots” were fired but was not releasing the exact number or the firearm calibre. Police did not locate anybody injured from gunshot wounds. Two adult men were arrested in relation to the matter but were later released from custody without charges. Noseworthy said it appears two groups were involved but were not believed to know each other. A firearm and drugs were seized in conjunction with this investigation. “No further information is being released at this time,” said Noseworthy. The incident is similar to one that happened at a Vernon townhouse complex Sept. 23. Two groups confronted each other in the parking lot of the complex and there were reports of shots fired. Police have spoken to a large number of witnesses from the Coldstream incident. Unlike the Vernon townhouse shooting, witnesses in the latest case have been very cooperative. “We’ll certainly investigate to see if the two incidents are possibly connected, but there is no evidence at this point to suggest that,” said Noseworthy, adding that police are taking the Coldstream incident – and any case involving the discharge of a firearm – seriously. “There is concern for public safety,” she said. “Bullets keep going until something stops it.” If you have any information that has not already been provided to investigators, please contact the Vernon RCMP at 250-545-7171, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

eavy hearts, weighted from the countless struggles and loss, were met with an overwhelming sense of hope Sunday. A larger-than-expected sea of pink filled Marshall Field for the 24th annual Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run For the Cure. More than 450 people laced up for the event and collectively raised $34,369. Amanda Ross, 36, from Oyama was diagnosed with breast cancer at 32 and is still fighting the disease four years later. She is currently undergoing chemotherapy. With her team, Save a Rack, at the run Sunday Ross stated the importance of staying positive and living your life in the moment. She stresses the importance of staying proactive in your health and getting yourself checked as she would not expected to have had such a diagnosis at the age of 32. Valerie Dean and her daughter Destaney, 12, travelled from Blind Bay for the event. Dean is currently battling breast cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy. She says it is important to keep seeing the positives in every situation you face during the treatment and not to do the “poor me.” Kathryn Ahvenus, 53, was diagnosed two years ago and had a double mastectomy. Ahvenus was a marathon runner in great physical shape prior to her diagnosis two years ago. “You never think you will be the one to get cancer,” said Ahvenus. “You must make the most of every day.” Those are just three of the countless stories of breast cancer struggles, which also represent hope. Mothers, grandmothers, aunts, wives, sisters, daughters who have or are still battling the disease were joined by husbands, sons, daughters, friends, mothers, fathers, and even some four-legged friends at the event. The survivors, linked arm in arm, led the run, which also included a moment of silence for all those who have lost their battle with breast cancer. “We were truly ‘all in this together’ as more than 100,000 Canadians united across the country for the CIBC Run for the Cure,” said Lynne Hudson, CEO, Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. “I want to thank each and every one of the participants, volunteers and donors for making a difference,

Vandalism frustrates party supporters RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

and of the two left, they were cut up.” The most recent incident was on Sunday when the couple drove to Chase to visit family. “We put signs up on the way there and then when we came back to Vernon later that day, the signs were no longer there,” said Ellen. Ellen is urging residents to be respectful of private property, as the signs are expensive, and the right of all Canadians to express themselves freely. “What good does it do to tear down the signs? We just put up more,” she said. And the vandalism isn’t just limited to the Conservatives as other political parties also experience problems. “We have had continual theft of signs and reports of damage,” said Jacqui Gingras, North O k a n a g a n - S hu s w ap NDP candidate. “The sign vandalism

There’s extra expense in a very tight budget and extra time for our volunteer sign crew. People have pulled together to repair and replace signs wherever possible. We have a strong team and this has made us even stronger.”
Liberal Cindy Derkaz also reports some damage to signs, while the Greens have gone unscathed. “We have not noticed any damage to our signs and I don’t believe any have been stolen either,” said Green Chris George.
“But we are not that focused on playing the sign game. Signs are incredibly expensive and as Greens, we also consider the carbon emissions that result from driving around putting signs everywhere and then taking them down again.”

TIPS FOR SAFE COOKING AND HANDLING OF YOUR TURKEY * When you buy your turkey, pick it up just before you head to the checkout * Thaw the turkey in the refrigerator or immersed in cold water * Wash your prep area with sanitizer, not soap, both before and after handling the turkey. Sanitizer kills living bacteria while soap merely cleans the surface * Rinse the turkey under cold running water - this applies to both frozen and fresh turkeys - and remove the neck and giblets. Stuff the turkey * Set the oven temperature no lower than 325°F. When done, the food thermometer should reach a safe internal temperature of 165°F * Remove any stuffing from the turkey and refrigerate leftovers immediately after dinner.

Guilty verdict in driving case ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A Vernon man has been found guilty of dangerous driving causing bodily harm in regards to a 2013 incident involving a volunteer firefighter. Judge Mark Takahashi found Ian Douglas Joseph Burns, born in 1987, guilty of the charge in Vernon Provincial Court Tuesday morning. Burns had been charged with three counts in connection with an incident in June 2013, where a member of the BX Swan Lake Volunteer Fire Department, on foot, was hit by a truck on a forest service road up above Hartnell and Tillicum roads while investigating a report of flames in the area. “This was a low-speed, completely avoidable collision,” said Takahashi during his decision. The court heard that the firefighter had been walking in the centre of the narrow gravel road, because the fire truck could not advance on the road, when he was approached by a Ford F350 pickup, driven by Burns who had a passenger with him.
The firefighter had wanted to talk to the people in the truck about the reported fire and was hoping the vehicle, which was going five-to-10 km/ hour, would stop. The truck, however, did not stop. The firefighter jumped out of the way but was clipped by the vehicle’s front bumper. “Mr. Burns could have stopped the vehicle... he did not do that,” said Takahashi. “He had an opportunity to stop, to take evasive action, but did not.” The firefighter suffered injuries to his arm, shoulder and hip, and is still undergoing physiotherapy treatments as a result of the collision. Burns admitted to having consumed “four or five beers,” and that he should not have been driving. Counts of impaired driving causing bodily harm and causing an accident resulting in bodily harm were stayed by Crown counsel. A date for Burns’ sentencing has yet to be fixed.
Minimum security appeal denied Morning Star Staff
A request to be transferred from medium to minimum security has been denied a Vernon inmate, and his appeal of the decision has been dismissed. Brock Ernest Palfrey, born in 1986, was sentenced in Saskatchewan in 2012 for his role in one of the biggest drug busts in that province’s history. Palfrey was sentenced to nearly 17 years in prison for two counts of trafficking in cocaine, one count of trafficking in ecstasy, one count of instructing the commission of an offence for a criminal organization, one count of conspiracy to traffic and two counts of failing to comply with a recognizance. According to the 13-page ruling from B.C. Supreme Court Madam Justice Duncan, who dismissed the appeal, Palfrey was assigned medium security classification in Saskatchewan. In June 2013, Palfrey was transferred back to
his home province to the Mission Institution and remained at medium security level. In March of this year, Palfrey applied to be reclassified and transferred to minimum security with recommendations from a parole officer and agreement from a correctional officer. The decision to approve Palfrey’s request rested with the warden of the Mission Institution, whose refusal to grant the wish was based on believed-tobe-reliable information that, in July 2014, Palfrey was responsible for nicotine patches entering the Institution through visits, though the information was not corroborated. In November 2014, the warden indicated Palfrey was “planning to organize downers and steroids to come in through a social,” and a “throw-over involving oil and steroids.” Palfrey denied any involvement in both scenarios.

Stinson speaks out
arrel Stinson has never minced words and especially when it comes to the democratic process. And that’s not unexpected as the Spallumcheen resident rose from humble roots as a ranch kid to serve as Okanagan-Shuswap MP from 1993 to 2006. It provided the onetime prospector and store owner with a voice and the ability to stand up for what he believed in. Given the opportunities Canada provided him, Stinson is serious about the fundamental bond between rank-andfile citizens and government. Richard Rolke That’s why he gets frustrated when he hears that many Canadians will not cast a ballot in the Oct. 19 election. “When you think of what was sacrificed to give us the vote and then people don’t vote, I don’t understand. People died for us,” he says referring to the two world wars and other conflicts. “To say the hockey game or Dancing with the Stars is more important than voting, doesn’t make sense.” It’s often said that people don’t vote because of rampant cynicism. They believe that no matter what, elected officials are only there for themselves and will ignore the wishes of constituents. However, Stinson says, based on his experiences in the House of Commons, that a lot of good people are sent to Ottawa from various political stripes and the public is their priority. “For the most part, they do listen. I hope they still do.” In an attempt to turn the tide and increase

future voter participation, Stinson would like to see more emphasis placed on government and civic responsibilities in the classroom. He was heartened to hear that 70 Clarence Fulton Secondary students recently attended an all candidates forum for their social studies class. “I used to love going to the schools and talking to them,” he said. But he was discouraged to hear that at another forum, some in the crowd yelled at candidates and disrupted the proceedings. “It doesn’t matter which party, they have put their lives on hold and their family’s, and when their family is sitting there and hear that, it’s upsetting,” said Stinson, who gained a reputation himself for being aggressive in the House. “If you (hecklers) have that much guts, run for office yourself. Have respect for the candidates.” Like many Canadians, Stinson is watching the TV news and reading the papers leading up to the election. He isn’t surprised by the tone. “You always hear the negatives and not the positives. It’s not much different than when I was running,” he said. Stinson still doesn’t put much stock in opinion polls, adding that the numbers can distract a candidate or party from the job at hand. “I always looked at it that I was running from behind the pack and I did what I could to get elected,” he said. With some predicting a tight three-way race between the Conservatives, Liberals and NDP nationally, Stinson is hopeful his Tories can earn a majority. But he admits there is always a level of uncertainty. “With most elections, we were trailing and then when the polls closed, we pulled through.” And that’s why every vote counts.
It’s hard to overlook the frustration in a letter the Vernon Public Art Gallery has written to the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee. In the document, VPAG president Andrew Powell details the limitations of the current facility and the fact that, as a result of those conditions, a donation of $75,000 in art had to be turned down. “This loss is a tragedy and is an embarrassment to our community,” he said. VPAG is urging GVAC to expand the scope of a looming referendum on twinning Kal Tire Place and ask residents to borrow funds for a new gallery. The argument is that a combined vote will increase public participation and lead to a greater possibility of success. “In our view, it would be short sighted and irresponsible not to at least consider holding a joint referendum,” said Powell. The request will be before GVAC Thursday but regional district staff are recommending that no decision be made and the issue be considered as part of a workshop on cultural facilities. Obviously our elected officials need to look at the broad picture and what the community will require long-term on the cultural front, particularly because tax dollars are finite. However, we would hope that GVAC’s review process doesn’t take too long as the needs of the art gallery and the Greater Vernon Museum have been known for years. The politicians can’t keep ignoring the unacceptable conditions that critical cultural agencies face on a daily basis. Piggybacking on to the arena referendum may not make sense, but that doesn’t mean GVAC directors should sit on their hands. Now is the time to make culture a priority.

In defence of the government
ichard Rolke's recent column, No decorum at the forum, is a sad reflection on what NDP, Liberal and Green party supporters consider a rational and open debate on the party policies being presented in the current federal election. Emotions, rather than critical thinking, seem to be the main contributor to what Rolke identifies as their childish behaviour. Unfortunately, the emotions being so freely displayed are too often based on spin, half-truths, facts taken out of context and blatant misrepresentation of many of the Conservative government’s actions while they have been in power. They have been far from perfect but in spite of the other parties’ claims to the contrary, they have enabled Canada to better withstand these turbulent times than most countries in a world beset by ever increasing economic and security problems. As a veteran with 35 years of service in the Canadian army, I would like to dispel one of the current half-truths being spun CHANGE NEEDED Polls show that a significant majority of Canadians want a change of government and would love to see an end to Stephen Harper's reign. On the flip side, a minority of Canadians would vote Conservative no matter what, even if the party was headed by someone who didn't believe in science, muzzled government employees, practiced blatant hypocrisy, and labelled anyone who cared about the environment as a terrorist threat. The problem for those seeking change is that their votes are split between three parties. It's still quite possible for Harper to win, in spite of the fact that more than 65 per cent of Canadians oppose his policies and his style of governance. We really need proportional representation so that everyone's vote counts. If you are one of those who wish Harper banished from power, the only solution is to strategically vote. That means voting for the local candidate who has the best chance of defeating the Conservatives. Otherwise, in my opinion, you are throwing your vote away and helping Harper retain power. In North Okanagan-Shuswap,
by the opposition and media, the one where all veterans have been poorly served by the Conservative government. Not only am I veteran but so is my brother and both my parents, and my wife’s parents are Second World War veterans. Not one of us would complain about the service provided by Veterans' Affairs. There have been some problems, partic-
the Liberals, Greens and NDP are all running excellent candidates. This makes the decision even harder. However, based on past election results and current polls, it appears that Jacqui Gingras (NDP) has the best chance of defeating the Conservative candidate. So whether you would prefer to see Trudeau, Mulcair, or Elizabeth May as our next prime minister, if your priority is a change of government, vote strategically and vote for Gingras in North OkanaganShuswap. Doug Miller FAIR RESULTS During the Interior Provincial Exhibition in Armstrong, I was one of 12 people manning a booth with information about the upcoming federal election. I did so as an organizer for the Dogwood Initiative, which sponsored the booth, and a member of Renewing Democracy through Co-operation. Both groups are not affiliated with any party, focussing on issues important to us including: improving democracy, more local decision-making power over projects which affect the environment, improving relations with First
ularly with giving disabled soldiers a lump sum of money rather than a pension, but these issues have been recognized and are being rectified through practical measures. These measures should not include reopening under utilized Veterans' Affairs centres to deal with a dwindling client base as the funds can be used much more efficiently in providing necessary services for
Nations, restoring Canada’s social safety net, and dealing with climate change. DI is a B.C.-wide organization active for 15 years while RDTC is a new local group focused on the federal election. We gave out information about the Dogwood questionnaire for B.C. candidates (votebc.ca). All of the local candidates had completed it, except the Conservative, Mel Arnold. This is in line with the rest of the province with only one of 42 Conservatives filling out the questionnaire. Almost all candidates for the other three parties did so. Many passersby were puzzled or dismayed by the Conservatives’ lack of openness. People wanted information on the 2014 changes in voter registration requirements under the new elections act which make it more difficult for some people to vote. We encourage everyone to see if they are registered and if not, to register online (www.elections.ca), or at the Elections Canada offices in Vernon and Salmon Arm. We were struck by both the degree of uncertainty of voting intentions, and the willingness of voters to consider voting for parties for whom they had never before voted.
those most in need of them. During my service, I had the privilege of taking studies on geopolitical and economic matters in Canada, the U.K., Australia and the U.S. This experience makes me realize that many of the NDP, Liberal and Green policies on these issues are at best wishful thinking and at worst will be detrimental to a prosperous and secure Canada in the future. Stand firm Mr. Arnold and don’t buckle under the pressure of dealing with hostile audiences as Rolke suggests you might do. Overall, the Conservative Party’s policies are much more likely to successfully deal with future challenges our country will face than anything else on offer. The Canadian electorate would be wise to spurn unrealistic promises of getting something for nothing and realizing that bigger government never provides effective, long-term solutions. Mike Newman
We carried out an informal poll, where passers-by were encouraged to vote with a spoonful of water in the jar of the party of their choice. We performed the exercise three times over the course of the IPE. In the first result, the Conservatives narrowly beat out the NDP. In the second and third polls, the NDP came out ahead. It's not a scientific poll, but an indication of the mood of the people who came up to speak with us at the IPE. Eli Pivnick NO BOATS I live near Kalamalka Lake, which is a major source of drinking water for the City of Vernon. The threat of invasive zebra and quagga mussels entering our local lakes is being vastly underestimated. It is real and it won't go away once it is here. Stop all motorized boats on Kalamalka Lake. This will protect the city's water source and prevent the invasion of this horrible species into the pristine water of this lake. Certainly this will upset all people with motorized boats. However, the greater good must be prioritized. In the Glenmore reservoir in
Calgary, there is zero motorized boats as it is the source of water for the city. It makes sense to me. Hollister Baxter

The single largest equipment donation in Okanagan College’s history has landed in Vernon. A world-class aircraft donated for training purposes was unveiled at the Vernon Aerospace campus Tuesday. The donation marks the most valuable gift of equipment the college has received in its 50-plus-year history. The British Aerospace Model Jetstream 31, valued at nearly $700,000 was donated by the Swanberg family of Grande Prairie and Fort St. John, in memory of Sylvan and Dorothy Swanberg.
“This gift will enrich the training experience.”
— Jim Hamilton Their son Loran Swanberg was joined by family members to announce the donation in support of the College’s Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) M-License program, which trains students in the maintenance, repair and overhaul of fixedwing aircraft and helicopters. “Our family is very proud to be able to support the next generation
of Aircraft Maintenance Engineers,” said Swanberg. “Continuous education and hands-on training is so important in the aviation industry. “We are delighted that this aircraft, donated in honour of my parents, has found a wonderful home at Okanagan College, where it will inspire and enrich the learning experience for students

for years to come.” Okanagan College president Jim Hamilton noted that the value of the aircraft as a teaching tool far exceeded any dollar value that could be ascribed to the plane. “This gift will enrich the training experience for our students for years to come,” said Hamilton. “On behalf of Okanagan College, I want to express our sincere gratitude to the Swanberg family for this support.” In accordance with Transport Canada regulations, the Jetstream was disassembled in Calgary and shipped by truck to its new home at the college’s AME hangar in Vernon for reassembly. Students were included in the reassembly process and are already at work on maintenance projects on the aircraft. With baby-boomer retirements looming and a serious shortage of aircraft mechanics on the horizon, Hamilton says the college is working with industry partners to be proactive in addressing skills shortages. “We know we are facing a shortage of aircraft mechanics,” said
Hamilton. “Boeing has projected a need for 584,000 maintenance technicians globally over the next 20 years. Support like this gift plays an integral role in Okanagan College’s efforts to train the skilled workers our province and country needs.” Sylvan Swanberg’s career in the transport industry spanned more than 50 years. He founded Swanberg Air in Grande Prairie, AB, in 2000. The company offered cargo, scheduled and charter passenger services in Alberta, Saskatchewan and B.C. for 11 years. A decision was made to cease operations after Sylvan Swanberg died in April 2011. His wife Dorothy died in June 2012. AME students train for 48 weeks in Vernon and then complete the final 14 weeks of the program at Northern Lights College in Dawson Creek. Information about AME is available at www.okanagan.bc.ca/ ame. For a video of Tuesday’s presentation visit www.vernonmorningstar.com

Campaign targets safety ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Lumby drivers are good about slowing down in school zones. However, other offences committed outside the school zones kept a VernonNorth RCMP North Okanagan Traffic Services (NOTS) officer busy Oct. 2. Police have recently received numerous complaints with respect to traffic in school zones in the village, as well as with the four-way stop at Noseworthy Shuswap Avenue and Vernon Street (Highway 6), so NOTS had an officer in enforcing the rules of the road. In one hour in the school zones, the officer recorded the highest speed at 37 kilometres per hour
“While this is excellent news, and we commend the drivers in Lumby slowing down in the school zone to keep their children safe, our officer did note a lot of other offences,” said Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy with the Vernon-North Okanagan detachment. The officer counted 78 seatbelt violations that he did not write tickets for. While observing the area around the four-way stop, the officer wrote 12 violation tickets for failing to stop at a stop sign, five tickets for drivers using electronic devices, and five for not wearing seatbelts. Three motorists were written up for having no valid driver’s licence, and one person was ticketed for having no insurance. “The RCMP are reminding drivers that we patrol throughout all of our communities and will enforce the rules of the road at all times,” said Noseworthy.

Windmills keeps moving to the PEAK KrisTin FronemAn Morning Star Staff
Joshua Jerrid PhotograPhy
Vernon artist and PeAK Performance Project finalist Windmills is about to perform a hometown show at Vernon secondary school with full proceeds going to the Jess for Kids fund.
It’s been full speed ahead for the Vernon artist known as Windmills. The multi-faceted musician has been moving at a faster-than-normal pace since it was announced he was selected as a top 12 finalist for the prestigious PEAK Performance Project. And now with his third full-length album about to drop, Windmills is giving back to his community. On Oct. 16, the artist (born Cory Myraas) will perform all the songs off his new album Measures, being released three days ahead, in the commons area at Vernon Secondary School. All proceeds from the concert are going to the JESS (Jessica Eaman Ski Scholorship) 4 Kids fund, a charity named after the cross country ski coach at Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre who died in a car accident in 2012. Windmills, whose family is Norwegian, wanted to help this particular charity because of his background. JESS 4 Kids helps raise awareness and money for underprivileged children to get on the trails cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. “Winter dominates a lot of what I identify with, and I grew up on the ski hill from the age of seven onwards,” he said. “To be able to give this experience to the youth in my community and carry on Jess’ legacy, it’s almost overwhelming. It’s my hope with this campaign and benefit in honour of JESS 4 Kids that we give these kids an opportunity to get out in the wild, explore the hills, and find out something about themselves.” Since being announced as a PEAK finalist, Windmills has been all over the place. He performed at the Shambhala Music Festival in Salmo this summer and then attended the PEAK bootcamp, which consisted of a week of training and seminars taught by some of the music industry’s top players. Hosted by Vancouver radio station The PEAK, the project, which is designed to educate, promote, develop and hopefully launch
the careers of up-and-coming artists, is in its last year in B.C. and since starting in 2009, has changed the lives of more than 100 musicians around the province. “It’s unbelievable how everyone at the PEAK Performance Project comes together to invest time and money in these artists. The experience was profound,” said Windmills. “I’m humbled that I was chosen for the final year.” The public voting phase of project opens Oct. 16 and supporters can vote for their favourite artist on the PEAK website starting that day at http://bc.peakperformanceproject.com/vote/ until Oct. 23. “The voting goes towards our final score, and every vote gets me that much closer to my goals, and is an amazing boost for my development as an artist,” said Windmills. The Vernon musician has also launched an indiegogo campaign (www.igg.me/at/windmills) to raise funds for the remainder of his album costs, with 25 per cent of all proceeds raised going directly to the JESS 4 Kids fund. At last count, Windmills had already raised 63 per cent of his campaign goal. “We jumped up $600 in the last five days, which blows my mind,” he said Monday. “People are really getting behind both causes. Some are contributing $50 for a $10 digital album. It’s extremely humbling.” Deadline for the campaign is Oct. 16 at 11:59 p.m. “My hope is that anyone at the benefit concert who still wants to contribute can get involved with 2.5 hours left after the show,” said Windmills. Opening for Windmills at the JESS 4 Kids benefit at VSS is local band Amistad. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. All of the proceeds from the concert and a silent auction, with items donated by local businesses, will go directly to the JESS 4 Kids fund. Tickets are $10 for students and $15 for adults with advance sales available at Triumph Coffee, VSS, from Amistad members and Windmills (windmillskeepmoving.com).
Theory of a Deadman to rock Vernon with Unplugged 15 show Morning Star Staff
One of Canada’s top rock bands, Theory of a Deadman is making a stop in Vernon to celebrate their 15-year anniversary. Last heard and seen around these parts on Canada Day, 2013 at the Funtastic Music Festival, the band brings its hard rock, alternative metal, post grunge sound, in an acoustic and plugged in show to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Jan. 18. The platinum selling, Juno award winning hard rock band, which became the first act to sign with Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger’s 604 Records in 2001, has amassed an impressive string of awards and smash hits. This year has been a busy one since the band released its Angel Acoustic EP, a fivetrack collection of fan favourites unplugged. The EP has received rave reviews from critics and has launched the tour, Theory of a Deadman Unplugged 15, to celebrate the band’s 15th anniversary. Since the band’s inception, Theory of a Deadman has toured with many familiar names in the rock world including Motley
Crue, Alter Bridge, Stone Sour, Godsmack and Daughtry. In 2014, the band released their fifth album, Savages, on Roadrunner Records/604. “We wanted to give fans a great Theory of a Deadman record,” said lead singer Tyler Connolly. “We owed them this album. It’s completely real, unrestrained and unbridled. We want their acceptance above all. This record was for the fans, and we are all extremely proud of it.” The song, Panic Room, from the album served as the theme song for WWE’s October pay-per-view Hell in a Cell. Theory of a Deadman collected a Juno for New Group of the Year in 2003, and a Western Canadian Music Award for Rock Recording of the Year for its 2009 album, Scars and Souvenirs, which contained rock radio hits Bad Girlfriend, So Happy and By the Way. The band’s fourth album, 2011’s The Truth Is, landed in the Top 10 on the Billboard charts upon its release, and spawned the hit Lowlife, which ruled rock radio for weeks.

Kate Brown met Tim Miller the day she walked into his tai chi class. It was while learning the movements of the ancient practice that she also learned she had much in common with her instructor. Brown and Miller both live with chronic and long-term pain and through their newly formed support group, they are hoping to help both themselves and others who live with pain on a daily basis. “I am hoping to share knowledge and receive knowledge for different coping strategies that others with chronic pain share,” she said. “Living with chronic pain is isolating and can be very depressing, and it is my hope that this support group will bring people suffering with pain a common ground where they feel heard and accepted.” Ten years ago, Brown was a busy single mom when her life took an unexpected turn: while in a meeting with colleagues she suddenly lost the ability to speak. “I thought at first I was having a stroke,” said Brown. “I couldn’t speak and couldn’t get a clear thought. It was difficult to maneuver my body and all I could do was cry. I was so frightened.” She wasn’t having a stroke, but getting to the root of her problem would prove difficult until her doctor finally sent her to an internal medicine specialist in Vancouver who diagnosed her with chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. What followed was a long and intense series of testing at UBC hospital, with Brown’s specialist working closely with both her neurologist and family doctor. “They were supportive in helping me get my life back on track within the parameters of a long-term disability,” she said. Brown said her illness involves an overactive immune system and central nervous system disorder along with cognitive
dysfunction. Fibromyalgia causes localized areas of tenderness typically above muscles, tendons or bones that hurt when pressed. People with fibromyalgia often have 11 or more out of a possible 18 tender points. Brown has all 18. And because of the central nervous system disorder, many of her automatic bodily responses don’t function properly. “You would not be able to tell this by looking at me unless my words came out garbled or I staggered when I walked, or after you spoke with me I was unable to respond to you,” she said. “You might think I was rude if it appeared that I interrupted you, but actually the rhythm of a regular conversation is difficult for me.
“Living with chronic pain is isolating and can be very depressing.” — Kate Brown
“You wouldn’t see that when I try to lift my leg I stumble because it doesn’t lift automatically, or that I need to park in a disability space because the floor in the mall is uneven. Or that the lights or noise in a crowded place make it intolerable for me to be there.” For Brown, she has learned to live her life in increments, choosing when and how she can complete certain tasks, from something as simple as washing dishes to getting out and buying groceries. “I have learned to ask for help when I need it. And most importantly to surround myself with people that are supportive and understanding.” Miller’s pain began in 2010 when he and his wife, Colleen, were in a car accident on Highway 97 in Spallumcheen,
involving a truck and a school bus. “They thought we were dead,” said Miller, who suffers from pain in his neck and back. “We were lucky to survive, but when I got hurt, I went from full on working and then being stopped in my tracks. So it’s not just the accident, it’s what is left behind afterwards.” The owner of a detailing shop, Miller’s accident left him unable to work, but he started going into the gym for strengthtraining. He also started teaching tai chi, and that has played a large role in helping him to regain heath and mobility, although he still lives with daily pain. “It does everything — it works the mind, soul, body and it brings relaxation,” he said. “I was on 20 pills a day to start, and the exercise helps so much, you get the serotonin increased — I get on a machine and do cardio and it helps so much.” Miller has found a number of treatments have proven helpful in treating his pain, including rhizotomy, a treatment that uses needles to numb the nerve and prevent pain signals from reaching the brain. Both he and Brown give credit to their family doctor, Dr. Tanja Redelinghuys, for not only her skill but also her empathy. “She is one of the best,” said Miller. “She is amazing.” Meanwhile, they are hoping the monthly support group will provide a safe place for others living with chronic pain. “We want to bring information to people because people look at you and they label you, so we want people to feel safe.” The Pain Management Support Group will meet the second Wednesday of every month from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Schubert Centre, except stat holidays.

Thefts from vehicles a problem Morning Star Staff
Lake Country police are warning the public to remove their valuables and properly secure their vehicles after numerous reports of thefts from vehicles. On Saturday, the RCMP responded to several thefts from vehicles in the Okanagan Centre area and police have seen an increase in these types of thefts over the past couple weeks. “The reports indicate that someone is targeting unlocked vehicles at night but
the suspects have also broken windows to gain access,” said Const. Kris Clark. “In one report, an unlocked home was entered while the occupants slept. The most common items stolen include credit cards, cash, and wallets but they have also included notebook computers and other electronics.” Police ask that the public follow these tips to help prevent future thefts: At home, light your driveway at night. Elsewhere, park in well-lit areas near
pedestrian traffic; Do not leave any wallets or purses containing personal identification in an unattended vehicle. Remove all valuables from plain view. Take the items with you or secure them in the trunk out of sight; Always lock your car, even at home or in ‘secure’ underground parking. Anyone with any information on these crimes can call the RCMP at 250-766-2288 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
Please give.

Q:
We would like to update our home and do some repairs, are we able to borrow the money that we need?

Many Canadians have chosen to renovate their homes rather than move to a higher priced property. We can easily look at refinancing your home to provide the funds that you need to make the repairs. With today’s lower interest rates your payments will likely be lower than you would expect and if you have at least 20% equity in your home (the difference between the value of your home and the new mortgage) you are able to choose a longer repayment of 30 years to help lower your payments. We would be pleased to review your personal details and provide a payment plan that will suit your lifestyle and save you money. E&O/OAC

Q A
Is there anything that can permanently stain a carpet?
There are many things that can cause permanent discoloration to the fibres of a carpet. Bleaches and certain oxidizers can remove the colour of the carpet leaving a bleached out spot. Other substances may add colour. These types of stains can usually be removed but some may also be permanent. Wood dyes, some spices, medicines, water that has leaked out from an indoor planter and makeup are common substances that can cause permanent staining. The Oxy-Dry® system has great success with stains. We have various products to treat a variety of types of stains. However permanent stains are still permanent! During the cleaning process, we always apply our Durashield protector to aid the carpet in resisting soiling and staining. If you do spill something on the carpet afterwards, the protector will enable it to clean up easier with less chance of staining. Your carpets will stay clean up to 3 times longer than other methods. With a dry time of less than an hour and the use of our 100% natural Ozone Boost System, Oxy-Dry®…your FRESH choice!

Q: A:
I have a home that is about 30 years old. I have noticed that in the cooler months I get a lot of condensation on my windows, & now I a noticing ‘black mold’ on the window sills. What should I do, & is there need for alarm?
The condensation on your windows in the cooler months of the year is because the moisture in the air inside the home is coming in contact with the cooler surface of the window glass & causing condensation on the glass. Try keeping your curtains or blinds open during the day & see if the condensation becomes less or goes away. If it does not go away or become less than there may be other issues to deal with that will reduce the amount of moisture in the air of the home. The ‘black mold’ that is accumulating on the window sills is most likely not mold at all, but is dust & dirt that is floating in the air of the home & that is on the windows. When condensation appears on the windows the dirt sticks to the moisture & is washed down the window where it accumulates and looks like black mold. No cause for alarm, just wash it off & check to see if your furnace filter needs changing.

Is listening to music a challenge with hearing aids?
Music is dynamic with a variable range and high intensity than speech; therefore an aid must manage with inputs differently. If not handled correctly, the peaks in music can’t pass into the processor resulting in a distorted sound even before any attempts are made to clean up the signal. Next, most likely everyone has witnessed a hearing aid “whistling” in the ear of a loved one or stranger. So when manufacturers developed “feedback cancellation”, surely they did not anticipate that this would affect music. Traditional feedback cancellation methods would mistake music for feedback due to the loud and sustained nature of musical notes and attempt to cancel them. Good news, current devices on the market can discern the elements of music from feedback using special ‘music’ programs. These features ensure an authentic representation of the music signal and result in your improved enjoyment of music.

Q: A:
When should I replace my windows?
Knowing when to replace older windows is not always clear, but if your home is more than 15 years only, it’s definitely time to have a serious look at your windows. Just like old appliances or roof shingles, windows (and doors) need to be replaced. We can help you assess your window’s condition and recommend if it’s time to replace or if repairs will be fine in the short term. If you have trouble operating your windows; they won’t open or close, or if some of the hardware is broken or missing, or they leak air or if you consistently find moisture on the interior side, these are some of the indicators that it might be time to replace and upgrade.

Do you sleep well ... ? A restful sleep is very important for optimum health, and yet elusive to many, often leading to health issues. When we sleep, our body shuts down and goes into major repair mode to fix glitches and regenerate us … somewhat like your computer updating to the newest operating system. From a Feng Shui perspective, where you sleep is important, and I evaluate your home to meet your needs. If you don’t have A Sam quite yet, follow these tips to help achieve a good night’s sleep: • Solid headboard - no gaps • Sleep on solid wall - not angled into a corner • If bed is under window, close window at night & cover with blinds/curtains • No ceiling fan above bed • Close bedroom doors while you sleep If sleep still eludes you - you may need to get A Sam to help you ... and I’ll be there … with cocoa in hand.

News Student surge surprises KATHY MICHAELS Black Press
Living in the area seems to be a pretty compelling option for a growing number of families, if you use the Central Okanagan School District’s most recent enrolment figures as a measure. Bucking the trend of diminishing enrolment across the Hugh Gloster B.C., the district, which includes Lake Country, reported an unexpected surge in its student population. “Enrolment has increased since last year and it is up significantly over what we were projecting,� said Hugh Gloster, school superintendent. There are now 21,585 students in the district, which is 326 more students than the district had projected. It’s also 258 students more than were enrolled last year. “Overall, it’s a good news story, though it does present some challenges for us in terms of accommodating
the growth,� said Gloster. To deal with the increase in students, the district hired nine new teachers this year. They were able to get the new hires in time for the year starting due to the new online registration system that was implemented provincewide, as it gave them a heads up well into the summer. Secondary schools are 153 students over their projected enrolment, and they have 331 more students than they had by Oct.3, 2014 Middle schools are 29 students over their projected enrolment, and they have 43 fewer students than they had by Oct. 3, 2014 Elementary schools are 120 students over their projected enrolment, but they have 63 fewer students than they had in October, 2014. Most of this reduction is as a result of the change in grade configurations in the Rutland zone of the district. Alternate student enrolment is currently 342 students compared to 309 students for the same time last year. However, this number is expected to increase prior to the provincial enrolment count of Sept. 30, 2015

Creepy crawlers are causing conundrums in Armstrong. Since 2014, the city has seen an increase in western tent caterpillar and fall webworm infestations. Staff has been receiving numerous inquiries on the eradication and prevention of their nests. Both insects typically hatch once a year. “These insects have similar properties to one another and can be dealt with in the same fashion without needing to identify which is which,” wrote deputy corporate officer Natalie Garbay in a report to council. Tent caterpillars and webworms are

native to Canada and the U.S. and, typically, their infestations last between twoto-three years and happen again every seven-to-10 years, though the range has fluctuated with changing weather patterns, geographic location and the availability of host trees. The caterpillars often construct tents in host trees such as willow, apple, plum, cherry and oak. The worms seek out alder, ash, choke-cherry, cottonwood, walnut, willow and fruit trees. “Tent caterpillars tend to devastate the integrity of their host trees, rendering them susceptible to cold, disease and drought,” said Garbay. “Webworms rarely cause permanent harm to their host trees.”

Pacific trade deal benefits TOM FLETCHER Black Press
NOW IS THE BEST TIME TO HAVE YOUR HEARING CHECKED GREAT SAVINGS LIKE NEVER BEFORE
B.C.’s Asia trade will benefit from the TransPacific Partnership, the world’s largest free trade agreement, reached Monday after all-night discussions with 11 Pacific Rim countries, according to business and provincial government officials. Jobs Minister Shirley Bond cautioned that legal work and ratification by the 12 countries involved still remains to be done, but the TPP removes barriers for B.C. producers of seafood, minerals, forest and farm products in countries such as Japan, Malaysia and Vietnam. “Generally speaking, any time B.C. can compete on a fair and level playing field, we’re going to do well,” said Bond, citing trade growth in cherries, blueberries and wood products. Much of the province’s progress in lumber exports has been in China, which is not part of the TPP talks. B.C. averages $4.8 billion annually in forest products to TPP countries and 1.5 billion worth of pulp and paper, despite duties up to five per cent in Australia and New Zealand, up to 10 per cent in Japan and up to 40 per cent in Malaysia.

Pot replacing prescriptions Morning Star Staff
Cannabis has been long maligned as an addictive narcotic that could lead to serious health issues, but a University of B.C. and University of Victoria study demonstrates that more people are using cannabis as a substitute for prescription drugs and alcohol. And that may be a good thing, says UBC Okanagan associate professor Zach Walsh. “Our study shows that more than 80 per cent of medicinal cannabis users reported substituting cannabis for prescription drugs including opiate pain killers,” says Walsh, who’s the primary investigator of the Cannabis Access for Medical Purposes Survey (CAMPS), the largest Canadian survey of medical cannabis patients to date. “This is consistent with recent findings from the U.S. that indicates medical cannabis use had a role in a nearly 25 per cent reduction in opioid overdose deaths — which is a really big deal given the crisis Canada faces with prescription opioid use.” Walsh noted that Canadians are amongst the highest users of opiate-based drugs. The study also found that 51 per cent of the 473 respondents report substituting cannabis for alcohol, and 33 per cent suggest they use cannabis instead of illicit substances like cocaine and crystal meth. The CAMPS study, which provided data on cannabis substitution, was supported with a grant from UBC Okanagan’s Institute for Healthy Living and Chronic Disease Prevention. Walsh, who teaches psychology with the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences, worked with the University of Victoria’s Philippe Lucas, a research scholar with the Centre for Addictions Research of B.C. “While cannabis use can certainly be problematic for some individuals, these findings

It’s been proven to be much less harmful and addictive than opiates or substances like alcohol.” The research paper was recently published in the journal Drug and Alcohol Review: http://onlinelibrar y. wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ dar.12323/abstract

This Week’s
PLAN NUMBER 5-3-641
WRAP-AROUND VERANDA
A
wraparound veran-
da and an arch-top dormer window add to the exterior appeal of this single-level design. With its open living areas and flexible floor plan, the home would be ideal for either a growing family or for empty nesters. The den, just off the sky lit foyer, is particularly attractive, with a sloping ceiling, bay window and a view of the front garden. If the homeowners need a third bedroom, this room could easily serve that purpose. An archway off the hall leads to the open living area at the rear of the house, where the family will have plenty of space for all their daily activities. The kitchen is a delight, with a walk-in pantry and a central island, where the cook will be able to talk to other members of the family while preparing the meals.
The dining room, which is large enough for entertaining, has a sloping ceiling and is designed to accommodate an optional buffet, if desired. On one side, a door opens to the veranda and at the rear, sliding glass doors offer access to a covered patio. The expansive great room also has a sloping ceiling, as well as a corner fireplace. Large windows make sure this whole area is bright with natural light. Double doors open to the master suite, which has a boxed-out window overlooking the back garden. A four-piece en suite bathroom includes a corner soaker tub and a separate shower. The second bedroom also has a boxed-out window and is located immediately alongside the main bathroom. The double garage has a side door and access to the house through the
laundry room. The house is 48 feet wide and 51 feet, 6 inches deep with 1,399 square feet of living space. Plans for design 5-3-641
are available for $625 (set of 5), $710(set of 8) and $778 for a super set of 10. B.C. residents add 7% Prov. Sales Tax. Also add $35.00 for Priority cou-
rier charges within B.C. or $65.00 outside of B.C. Please add 5% G.S.T. or 13% H.S.T. (where applicable) to both the plan price and postage charges.

Bridge by Phillip Alder THE CAPTAIN ASKS PARTNER FOR INPUT Rebel Wilson, an Australian stand-up comedian, actress, author and entrepreneur, said, “I was sporty in high school. I played tennis and hockey, and was basketball captain. Then I went to university and stopped doing sport and started eating ice cream.” Not such a bad switch! This week, we are looking at auction captaincy. This happens when one player has described his hand accurately. He leaves the choice of final contract to partner. However, sometimes partner will be uncertain, so knocks the ball back over the net, keeping the point - the auction - going.
In this deal, what should South rebid with his hand? He knows that game is certain, but slam might be possible if the fit is good. Which cards would he particularly like North to have? Right - good trumps, the diamond ace and the club king. South sounds out his partner by rebidding three clubs. Opener will think that this is a help-suit game-try. If he does not have club help, he will sign off in three spades, which South would raise to game. Here, though, North jumps to four spades, confirming four-card spade support and a good club holding. Then South leaps to six spades, the contract he believes he can make. How should declarer plan
the play after West leads the heart jack? South should win the first trick, cash the two top trumps (unlucky!), and start on the clubs, discarding dummy’s heart loser on the third round. Later, declarer trumps the heart two and a low club in the dummy, and loses only one trump trick.

Lawton, Simmons nail jackpot KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Stefanie Lawton of Saskatoon almost lost her voice shouting encouragement. Her front end almost suffered temporary paralysis and exhaustion. All on one shot, Lawton’s draw which barely reached the button to score a deuce and knock off Chelsea Carey of Calgary 5-3 in Sunday’s women’s final of the $54,00 Prestige Hotels & Resorts Curling Classic in Vernon. “I threw it light enough, but I knew that they could do it,” smiled Lawton, 35. “They dragged it a long ways so I just kept on yelling and hoping that would help them get there. I owe them a good steak dinner and some wine.” There was a star-studded field of 28 women’s rinks with round-robin wins worth $100. Lawton pocketed $8,400 and jumped from 13th place to fourth on the Canadian Team Ranking System rankings. A senior inventory specialist with Cameco Corporation, the world’s largest publicly traded uranium company, Lawton earned $4,000 a few weeks ago at the HDF Insurance Shoot-Out in Edmonton, falling to Val Sweeting of Edmonton in the final. Lawton started the season losing the C qualifier to Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg. Lawton’s sister, Marliese Kasner, is her longtime lead, while Trish Paulsen is the team’s new third with Sherri Singler at second. “I like what I see,” said Lawton, a mother of two who won the 2000 Canadian junior title with her sister, going on to strike silver at the worlds in LISA MAZUREK/MORNING STAR Germany. “We’re playing well.

Simmons steals away for cash Continued from A27
Simmons, supported by third Johnny Morris, second Carter Rycroft and Nolan Thiessen, swiped three points in the third end and a deuce in four. “You take those when you get ‘em. Dean just had a little trouble with draw weight which you wouldn’t expect at all,” said Simmons, a father of two who collected $5,000. “Sometimes you throw a draw and it doesn’t quite do what you expect and then you kind of get on the wrong side of the feel part of things.” Team Simmons receive Sport Canada funding of $144,000 over the next two years and face a hectic

Joanisse, 43, was backed by third Paul Ceske, formerly of Salmon Arm, and a front end of Jay Wakefield and John Cullen. They earned $4,000. Vernon’s Jim Cotter was the A side qualifier, but lost 9-7 in an extra end to Joanisse in Monday morning semifinal action. Simmons stuffed Sean Geall of New West 6-1 in the other semi. Cotter and Geall each won $3,000. Cotter had Ryan Kuhn, Ty Griffith and Rick Sawatsky aboard.

It’s back to the future for the Vernon Vipers as they practise at Civic Arena in preparation for a pair of home games after a mediocre B.C. Hockey League road trip. The Vipers, who stopped the last-place Victoria Grizzlies 4-1 Sunday at the Q Centre, will call Civic home until Friday due to an oldtimers tournament at Kal Tire Place. Head coach Mark Ferner’s practice plan at the smaller confines of Civic will be more of the same: work on the finer details of the game. “The game (in Victoria) was up in the air and could have went either way, but at least we salvaged something out of the road trip,” said Ferner, nursing a man cold. “We need to be better. We need to be harder to play against.” Leading scorer Nick Guiney put the Grizzlies up 1-0 at the 3:21 of the second period, taking a faceoff win from Brayden Gelsinger and sneaking it past Vernon goaltender Andrew Shortridge. Shortridge made 30 saves and earned first star before 925 fans. The Vipers equalized at 19:20 of the second, Odeen Tufto winning the draw back to d-man Mac Ferner who buried the shot behind Matthew Galajda for his first snipe of the season. The Vipers extend the lead to 2-1 at 8:16 of the third when Riley Brandt was sent in all alone and beat Galajda with a pretty move for his fifth of the year. Jagger Williamson and d-man Bo Pellah drew assists. Nine minutes later, the Vipers caught the Grizzlies pinching and Liam Finlay tapped in a pass from Tufto on a 3-on-1. Linemate Steven Jandric earned the secondary assist on Finlay’s fourth. Pellah added a shorthanded empty-netter with 25 seconds remaining, his first goal of the campaign. Vernon improved to 4-5-0-1 and fourth in the Interior Division, a point back of West Kelowna Warriors and one up on the Merritt Centennials. The Grizzlies, who were without three regular blueliners in Brett Sterling, Jake Stevens and Grayson Pears, dipped to 1-6-0-1. The Vipers, who lost 3-0 Friday night in Powell River, shifted to the Island Saturday night where they lost 5-2 to the Nanaimo Clippers before 1,050 fans at Frank Crane Arena. Mike Vandekamp’s Clippers got five points from their big line of Sheldon Rempal, Devin Brosseau and Matthew Hoover. “They have the top three scorers in the league and they load it up and they were good and they got a few lucky breaks on goals,” said Ferner, who was ejected for arguing a non-call on Brosseau with 5:33 left to play.
DON DESCOTEAU/BLACK PRESS
Viper d-man Bo Pellah quickly clears the puck as Grizzlie forward Brayden Gelsinger bears down on him in BCHL play Sunday afternoon in Victoria. “Our kids were getting frustrated and once in a while, you have to stick up for your team. He came by our bench, shortened his stick and got one of our guys in the face. I think it may have been Jags. They only gave him a double minor so that was frustrating to our kids and me because there was intent there and we thought it should have been a major.” Brandt stepped in and fought Brosseau after the incident. Rempal, a 20-year-old Calgary product headed to the NCAA Clarkson Golden Knights next year, pocketed two assists and first-star honours. He leads the league with 7-11-18. Brosseau, who has 2-16-18, collected four helpers against the Vipers. The 20-year-old from Saint Lambert, Que. also has a scholarship to Clarkson. Hoover scored once on the powerplay Saturday and is third in BCHL points with 9-7-16. The 19-year-old Brantford, Ont. native was named the Player of the Week after ringing up seven points. He has a schollie to Canisius College Griffins in New York. Will Reilly and Corey Renwick, on powerplays, Lucas Finner on a penalty shot, and Chris Dodero handled the other Nanaimo offence. The 6-3 Clippers held period leads of 1-0 and 3-1. Joe Cipollone (3rd) and Brandt countered for the Vipers, who were outshot 34-33. Shortridge went the distance. Nanaimo is here Friday night, while the 1-6-0-1 Prince George Kings visit Saturday at 6 p.m, Ferner plans to use newly-signed goalie Brendan Barry at some point this weekend.
Midgets win Vees tourney Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Home Building Centre Vipers stopped host Penticton 5-1 in Sunday’s final of the Vees Invitational Midget Tier 2 Hockey Tournament. Carl Main sniped two goals with singles coming from Nick Cherkowski, Brady Marzocco and smooth skating d-man Gage Kopp. Conor Webb took the victory. Vernon reached the finals by dispatching Port Coquitlam Sunday morning, for the second time in as many days, 5-0. Billy Cawthorn earned the shutout. Vernon’s offence was supplied by Bryce Pyle, with a deuce, Stephane Richard, Main and Marzocco, Logan Imrich. Cherkowski and Kopp chipped in with assists. The Vipers knocked off Port Coquitlam 8-2 Saturday morning with Reed Cashato scoring
twice. Connor Johnston (1+4), Kyle Sherwood, Dylan Sedlacek, Richard, Main and Grady Caton rounded out the scoring in front of Cawthorn. The Home Building crew bounced the Kamloops Blazers 6-4 to go 3-0 in the round-robin. Dex Elders and Brady Marzocco each had a pair with singles going to Cherkowski and Sedlacek. Josh Evans stopped 18 shots as the Coca-Cola Midget Tier 3 Vipers ambushed West Kelowna 6-0 Saturday at Civic Arena. Ethan Joe opened the scoring by capitalizing on a 3-on-1 rush while Aidan Rysen and Zach Agar’s power play passing to Cody Webb for a point shot pulled Vernon ahead by two. Joe fed Joe Eggert for a a breakaway snipe late in the second period. Bryce Stilborn and Rysen made it 5-0 Vipers, while Joe went top shelf for the final goal, assisted by Eggert. Sam Mowat is head coach of the Coke crew.

Knights add Churchill ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Bryant Perrier said he would give his North Okanagan Knights 10 games then re-evaluate the roster. After losing Kootenay International Junior Hockey League Game No. 8 Saturday at home, 2-1 to the Castlegar Rebels, and Game 9 Sunday in Summerland, 3-0 to the Steam, Perrier is on the hunt for some veteran players. “We have to get better in some areas and we’re going to need some help; I’m looking to get that help for the club, that’s what I have to do as a general manager,” said Bryant, who doubles as the Knights’ head coach. “I think we lack experience and some more experience in the lineup will help settle our group down and give that extra umph to get started in games.” The search for veterans started Tuesday when the Knights acquired energy forward Travis Churchill, 20, of Armstrong. The speedster spent the last two seasons with the Chase Heat, playing just 19 games last year due to injuries. He racked up five points and 81 penalty minutes as a rookie.
Slow starts continue to be the achilles heel of the Knights, who are 3-5-0-0-1 on the year, fourth in the Okanagan Division, one point back of thirdplace Princeton, and one up on the fifth place Kelowna Chiefs. In front of 200 fans Saturday at the Nor-Val Sports Centre, Castlegar opened the scoring late in the first period. The Knights tied it with 57 seconds left in the middle frame on a goal by game star Dallas Keller, his first of the year. Rebels game star Tayden Woods beat Knights starter Daniel Paul with 7:55 remaining. “Saturday’s game was a tight game, the shots were pretty even (28-26 North OK) and it was two pretty good teams playing each other,” said Perrier. “We had our chances to tie the game, pulled our goalie and had another opportunity. We just didn’t get it done.” After a good beginning to Sunday’s game, which was scoreless after 20 minutes, the Steam got a goal from Michael McLean 5:12 into the middle frame to go up 1-0. Summerland – which outshot North Okanagan 29-15 – added shorthanded goals from Jack Mills in the second period and Cole Williams in the third.

Ball carrier Colton Annis of the Fulton Maroons keeps powering through after a tackle by Shad Manongdo of Rutland Voodoos Saturday at Fulton.
Voodoos ice Fulton Morning Star Staff
The Rutland Voodoos brushed off the Fulton Maroons 26-14 in exhibition high school senior boys football action Saturday at Grahame Park. Caden Doyle produced a pair of rushing touchdowns for the Maroons, going six yards in the first quarter and eight in the fourth. Jeff Hann booted both converts. Fulton quarterback Ike Olson was 5-for-11 and 116 yards passing. He made five tackles and recorded one fumble recovery on defence. “Ike Olson played a fantastic game at defensive end and quarterback,” said Fulton head coach Mike Scheller. “He made smart decisions with the ball as a QB and was on target with his throws. Defensively, he fought off double teams and was our best defensive player by far. Nate Banga provided good coverage as a corner and Mykl Drabiuk was solid as a line-
backer in his first game.” Banga bottled up five tackles, while Andrew Goldenthal had four. Kobe Romanovitch registered one pick. Rutland led 12-7 at the break with the Maroons playing their best half of the season. “Rutland just ground us down,” said Scheller. “They imposed their will on us on both sides of the ball. In the end, they were tougher than us, pushed us around and took the victory. “Offensively, we ran the ball fairly well. Colton Annis had his best game of the year at fullback and ripped off some nice runs. O-line coaches Darryl Thomas, Ben Olson and Kevin Breiter have done a good job with the boys up front.” Fulton visits the South Kam Titans Friday (5 p.m.) at Hillside Stadium in their opening Interior AA conference league game.

Vernon’s Turn-Key Controls Ogopogos clipped the Kelowna Rented Mules 2-1 in the Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ Soccer League B Cup Sunday in Penticton. After Brad Conlin and Roland Riedstra missed glorious scoring chances in the early minutes, TurnKey opened the scoring as Mark Wasyluk buried a pass from Rick Danyluk in tight. The Mules quickly responded and grazed the outside of the net making it appear from some vantage points it was a goal. Pogo keeper Mike
Moorlag then made a gorgeous save as he sprung out and wrestled the ball to the ground. Danyluk shot the ball straight towards the Mule keeper from 15 yards out early in the final half. Speedy John Garner received a glorious pass from Duane Dennis and went top cheddar, making it 2-0 Pogos. The Rented Mules answered the call a few minutes later and were awarded a late penalty kick but the shot deflected off the crossbar. See full playoff story/photo on www.vernonmorningstar.com

Frieda Juli (nee Hess) We regret to announce the passing of Frieda on September 3rd, 2015 in the Nanaimo Regional District Hospital at the age of 82 years. Frieda leaves behind her daughter, Denise (Stephen) Aiken; her son, Gordon Juli; two daughters-inlaw, Laurie Juli and Kati Barker; five grandchildren, Kristina (Matthew), Valaurie, Marcel (Tammi), John (Heather) and Michael; three great-grandchildren, Hannah, Miles and Erica; and her best friend of over twenty years, Linda. Frieda and Linda spent many days out and about exploring the Okanagan. She was preceded in death by her husband, Adolf (Ed) Juli in 1990; and two sons, Ernst Juli in 2005 and Peter Barker in 1993. Frieda was born in Dusseldorf, Germany on August 4th, 1933, immigrating to Canada in her early 20s. After living in the Lower Mainland and Salmon Arm, she settled in Vernon where she remained for 56 years. She was a vivacious reader and taught herself English when she moved to Canada. She could often be found reading a book with a dictionary balanced on one knee. Her passion was the pursuit of religious and spiritual truth. At 75, she tackled a book on quantum physics. She stated that it was a great book but she had to read it twice because of the vocabulary. Frieda considered herself a “cat person.” She had a cat named Mushi for over 18 years that she always missed. However, Linda and Frieda took great pleasure in spoiling Linda’s two pet Chihuahuas, Mikey and Daisy whom she called “the kids.” Frieda raised and looked after her family with passion and she will be missed. Thanks Mom. Cremation preceded a Celebration Of Frieda’s Life which will take place in the Tea Room at Bethel Funeral Chapel on Friday, October 9th, 2015 at 11:00 A.M. Interment will follow in the Pleasant Valley Cemetery. Funeral arrangements have been made with BETHEL FUNERAL CHAPEL LTD., 5605-27th Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 8Z5 • 250-542-1187
