FLU PREVENTION

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR

John McArthur gets his flu shot from public health nurse Kerryn Keryluke at the flu clinic Thursday at Vernon’s Schubert Centre. The next clinic is Nov. 26 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Schubert Centre and family flu clinics, by appointment only, are at the Vernon Health Centre Nov. 12, Nov. 27 and Dec. 10 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Call 250-549-5721 to book or visit immunizebc.ca for more information.

A politician insists landfill hours are inconvenient for residents.

Director Doug Dirk isn’t impressed with winter hours being implemented at Regional District of North Okanagan landfills Nov. 1, including a 9:30 a.m. start Saturdays and complete closure Sundays.

“The issue is realigning free yard waste with the open times on the weekend so people can get there,” he said.

Landfills provide free dropDoug Dirk off for yard waste from Oct. 15 to Nov. 30.

“It’s counter-productive,” said Dirk of limiting access on Saturdays and Sundays when most people are available to haul leaves and limbs away.

“The Regional District of Central Okanagan doesn’t have winter hours. The Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen’s winter hours start Dec. 1 and the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District is open weekends year-round. We need to look at the hours.”

Dirk isn’t sure what it would cost to keep local landfills open Sundays throughout the year, but he doesn’t believe the price tag should be the only factor.

“It might cost more but it’s a multi-milliondollar function, so if we can have good customer service, it’s not significant.”

Landfill hours and possible options will be discussed by the RDNO board.

opposition.

However, the ministry remains opposed to a traffic signal because it claims a light could lead to increased accidents on the highway and cause long lines of vehicles waiting to turn left on Stickle Road.

Mund says there is a need now to find a solution that satisfies everyone.

“Sometimes you have to come to a compromise instead of fighting.”

According to the ministry, it has been working collaboratively with various stakeholders to improve the intersection at Stickle Road.

“The ministry heard from the community through public feedback at open houses that access needs, particularly from Stickle Road to 27th Street, need to be addressed,” it states in an e-mail.

“Since the open house in July, the ministry has been working with local government to explore options to address these concerns. We expect to be ready to present the results of this follow-up work in the next few weeks.”

The ministry states a third public open house will be arranged as it moves into the detailed design phase later this winter.

A person of interest is being sought after a poppy donation tin was taken from Bosley’s By PetValu.

Poppy tin stolen ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

It wasn’t a tin of dog food the man was interested in after all.

It was the Royal Canadian Legion donation tin sitting on the poppy tray on the counter at Bosley’s

By PetValu at the Shops at Polson Park Mall.

A man allegedly walked away with the entire tray from the store shortly before 6 p.m. Monday.

“Our owner (Therese) had been helping him and he said he was looking for the biggest bag of dog food for the cheapest price,” said Bosley’s manager Dawn Vipond. “She brought a bag from the shelf, told him the price and he said that was too expensive and was going to look at the canned dog food.”

As the owner returned the bag to the shelf, store video shows the suspect trying to rip the tin from the velcro bottom of the tray. Unable to remove only the tin, the man walked out of the store with the entire tray.

The theft was noticed by Vipond Tuesday morning.

“I’m devastated,” she said when asked her reaction to someone stealing from one of the Legion’s main fundraisers.

“We all know someone who has been to war or did not come back. Both of my grandfathers fought in the Second World War and returned. To steal from veterans is disgusting.”

Vipond was meeting with RCMP investigators to discuss the matter.

Later Monday evening, a tip jar from a downtown Vernon liquor establishment was stolen by a suspect matching the description of the Bosley’s theft.

Anybody with any information on either incident is asked to call the Vernon RCMP at 250-5457171 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Four local schools are able to proceed with routine capital projects as a result of provincial funding.

The schools receiving grants are Pleasant Valley Secondary in Armstrong, W.L. Seaton Secondary in Vernon and Beairsto and Okanagan Landing elementary schools in Vernon.

“These upgrades will greatly improve the infrastructure and operating efficiency,” said Greg Kyllo, Shuswap MLA. At PVSS, the control system, including CO2 sensors, requires updating to improve occupant comfort, energy efficiency and maintainability. The cost of the project, which will be completed by spring, is $140,000.

Okanagan Landing Elementary will receive $600,000 to install vertical geothermal ground loop systems, a heat exchanger and central plant.

At Beairsto, $192,000 will go to new transformer and service cabling. A new switchboard will be installed, allowing monitoring of energy use, power demand and power quality in the school.

The 20-year-old roof at Seaton will be replaced for $1 million and $264,000 will go to a new transformer, power pole and service cabling.

All of the Vernon work is expected to begin this year and be completed by spring.

“I’m pleased that our government is delivering more than $2 million in improvements for students and educators in Vernon,” said Eric Foster, VernonMonashee MLA.

Gazebo upgrades stalled RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Proposed upgrades to a music venue have hit a sour note with Lumby officials.

A majority of council has concerns with improvements to the Arbor Park gazebo sought by Lumby Live, which organizes concerts.

“It’s not in the budget and not in the strategic plan. The structure is sound enough for what they do,” said Mayor Kevin Acton.

One of the upgrades sought was easier access to electricity as the four power outlets are 10 feet off the floor.

“The lack of lighting in the gazebo adds an extra challenge for both accessing outlets as well as the extra power draw,” said Randal Ostafichuk, Lumby Live president and a village councillor, in a letter.

“As the performances of Lumby Live run through late summer, it is necessary to have lights for the second half of the season.”

The other problem facing organizers is the hexagonal shape of the gazebo with timber posts.

“A large portion of

the stage is obscured by the two main posts on the side of the gazebo facing the park, leading to both having to place expensive equipment on the ground as well as only having two-thirds of the stage visible to the entire audience,” said Ostafichuk.

“If these upgrades were done to the gazebo, it would provide a much better venue for not only Lumby Live, but to any community groups who could use a year-round outdoor performance location.”

Ostafichuk is suggesting a key locked box for electricity and extending the floor of the gazebo so the posts are avoided.

“It’s a great idea but there are no numbers attached to this request,” said Coun. Julie Pilon.

Village staff will provide electrical quotes to be considered by council.

Vernon RCMP responded quickly to a report of a woman breaking windows at a Vernon government office Wednesday.

Police were onhand at a Ministry of Children and Family Development office in downtown within minutes of the report.

The woman, 30, was arrested and taken into custody where she remained as of Thursday. She is likely to face charges of mischief in connection with the incident.

Police would not say at this time what led to the vandalism.

Nobody was injured.

It comes as no surprise that Vernon’s mayor is looking to end the dispute with the Ministry of Transportation over Stickle Road and Highway 97.

After all, the ministry continues to insist that calls for a traffic signal at the dangerous intersection are illadvised and other options for moving vehicles must be considered.

“They aren’t giving us a light or reducing the speed on the highway so we have to work with them,” said Akbal Mund.

“Sometimes you have to come to a compromise instead of fighting.”

Nurses No. 1

hatever nurses make in this province, it isn’t enough.

I can say this with authority after being a recent guest at Vernon Jubilee Hospital, with a short trip to Kelowna General Hospital attached.

My little adventure began at 4 a.m. when I woke up with chest pains. Bad chest pains. I’d been having these pains off-and-on for a few weeks. Everytime I had them, they’d go away after awhile.

I saw my family doctor about it, and he suggested it may be heartburn, though I said it didn’t have the “burn” normally associated with heartburn. Still, taking an Roger Knox antacid seemed to work.

But not on this morning.

I took three antacids and the pain was not going away. It wasn’t getting worse, but it wasn’t disappearing.

My doctor had prescribed some nitroglycerin pills and said to take one if the pain didn’t go away. If the pain vanished, he said, I needed to get up to emergency right away because this was my heart acting up.

The pain vanished within a few minutes of the nitro pill dissolving.

Yes, I stupidly drove myself to VJH at 4:45 a.m. where, for the first time in my life, I got an excellent parking spot.

I checked into emerge and, before 6 a.m., I’d had a whack of tests and the on-call doctor telling me not to make any plans because I wasn’t leaving the hospital that day.

This is when I began to truly appreciate nurses and everything they do.

Into my room walks Kelly, looking more Angel of Hell’s than Angel of Mercy.

Kelly is bald, piercing eyes, well-manicured goatee and with tattoos that covered both wrists, elbows and forearms.

It's time to replace Civic

y way of introduction, I am a husband, father of three boys ages 12, seven and five, a career man, taxpayer, coach, volunteer and optimist.

I was presented with this opportunity to communicate my stake in the decommissioning of Civic Arena.

My position is that this needs to be done now rather than later both from a financial and community perspective. The economy is in a downward trend of the economic cycle, which means labour and material is more available which will also help to stimulate the economy and reduce cost.

Also, a large segment of the community uses this facility for recreational purposes. Without it, we stand to push these people outside of our community and the revenues that go with it or abandon them altogether.

I volunteer extensively at Civic Arena, mentoring and training groups of children from this community aspiring to be part of something stitched together by the idea of fun and team spirit. As an adult responsible for the safety of these kids during our events, I have concerns about the integrity of Civic Arena. The structure poses real threats to our safety and does not meet my expectations or standard of living.

As a coach of both lacrosse and hockey, I am privileged to meet these kids season after season and watch

JUST SAY NO The Civic Arena replacement study was completed in June, 2014.

Now the panic for action.

It acknowledges that Kal Tire Place has a present deficiency of 84 parking slots, and if the addition to the north went ahead, the final deficiency would be 185 spaces after eliminating the landscaping along 43rd Avenue.

No detailed geotech had been done on the north and on the west of Kal Tire Place but the estimates just for site servicing were $835,000 for the north and $1 million for the west (the latter including $250,000 for access to Old Kamloops Road).

them develop. It goes without saying that the heritage in Civic Arena is deep and holds great value to me but it also holds concern.

When I walk through the doors into the dressing room corridor, I am met by the smell of urine. I hold my head high and push through the stench as I approach the dressing room. My son slams his shoulder against the door. It doesn’t open so I go to the rink attendant, who says, "It's open, you just have to slam it." Sure enough, it was unlocked but wedged shut.

Kids could not have opened that door. If they were in the room and an emergency occurred, they would not be able to open it. As I enter the dressing room, I am greeted by 11-yearolds smiling ear to ear, scrambling to Both plans need access to Old Kamloops Road.

Many of the present politicians are responsible for the failure to resolve the issue of the Kin Race Track (land that is owned by local government).

The taxpayer has had to absorb $75,000 in legal fees via the City of Vernon and $125,000 in legal fees via Regional District of North Okanagan, all related to resolving the race track issue and RDNO, with support from many of the present politicians, put the issue on hold in 2013, stating there was no urgent need to proceed.

Then came the excessive cost overruns and poor planning for

get their gear on.

As we gather to warm up, I look up and see a web of old timber trusses, stitched together by fasteners from the “olden days” as my son says. The bleachers are thick in decades of paint layers and made entirely of wood.

I send the kids to run up and down the bleacher stairs, thinking, "Don’t fall." The rise and run of the stairs are not to code and I fear for them as they navigate through the task. They all return and we go outside. We do stretching on the side area next to the building and then go for a jog.

I lead the team on to the road, behind the building and into the parking lot. All the while, worried about traffic, yelling “safe decisions” to the kids as we progress around the building.

We return to the dressing room and as we change. My son says this place is like a jail. His imagination takes off thinking of how this place resembles Alcatraz. Another boy says, "I wonder why the floor is coming apart? If we had to escape I bet we could dig through. Why don’t they take care of this place coach?"

As we approach the gate to go on the ice, we notice the ice isn’t resurfaced.

The Olympia has failed. So we skate with snow once again. No problem though. We set up and put our kids through the drills – a stick check drill to demonstrate coach on coach.

I pin my co-coach's stick to the boards and he comes away bleeding.

It turns out the penalty box door appeared to be shut. It was not locked but wedged shut. He cut his hand severely on a broken piece of plastic on the door itself.

I took a skate around to see if there were any more broken pieces to which I found many.

In conclusion, my stake is about the safety and dignity of our community's children. It is my opinion that neither is best served under the roof of Civic.

So please join me in saying yes to the referendum and support this worthy project to borrow now to build a twin arena at Kal Tire Place.

Ryan Cramer

the track facilities at the college (in excess of $8 million) that should have ultimately been built at the Kin Race Track.

These same politicians have not seen fit to advise us as to what they would do with the Civic Arena in the event the new sheet of ice is approved, and what costs may be involved.

They have not told us what funds are needed in the future for the art gallery and the museum. They have not told us when a new police building is required.

In short, they have not done their homework and think they can achieve their aims without inform-

ing the taxpayer of the high financial demands in the near future.

The water plan is still unresolved and may well end up with having to borrow $100 million.

Stop the panic. Spend the $50,000 per year to keep the Civic going.

Resolve the Kin Race Track once and for all and present the taxpayers with a list of estimated future capital expenditures covering the next 10 years and include what will happen at the Civic Arena site.

The present proposal is very close to $14 million and that is before cost overruns take place.

Vote no.

Barry Beardsell

EARLY DEADLINE NOTICE

ART GALLERY Has anyone suggested possibly using some of the space in the new library building for a new art gallery?

It seems like such a large building to just house a library.

With the use of computers today, libraries are downsizing and I think an art gallery in that location would make sense.

We should at least look at the option and try to save the city some money.

Information on the upcoming arena referendum is available for Vernon, Coldstream, and electoral area residents.

A webpage of frequently asked questions has been launched about the Nov. 28 referendum and the proposed twinning of Kal Tire Place.

“It is our goal to inform residents, regional stakeholders and businesses of the upcoming referendum and to remind them that, ‘Your vote is your voice — speak up,’” said Doug Ross, director of recreation services for City of Vernon.

“We want our citizens to understand the current condition of the Civic Arena and why the proposed solution is to replace that ice sheet by twinning Kal Tire Place.”

The website also includes information on voting locations and voter eligibility, and provides background information including the Civic Arena engineering assessment report and the Civic Arena replacement feasibility study.

In addition to the webpage, public information booths will be set up around Greater Vernon from Sunday to Nov. 27.

GRAPHIC SUBMITTED

A new ice sheet is proposed to be constructed on the north end of Kal Tire Place. A referendum will be held Nov. 28.

“We want to ensure the public can find the answers they may have about the project, whether they are looking for general information or wish to drill down into the details,” said Ross.

“Our role is to ensure that voters have access to the information they need to make an informed choice.”

Silver Star’s new logo reflects the full mountain resort experience. The logo was developed by resort staff.

Silver Star launches new logo Morning Star Staff

Silver Star Mountain Resort has unveiled a new brand, symbolized by a fresh logo.

The logo was inspired by the mountain’s four faces, the resort’s colourful village, and the variety of year-round outdoor activities Silver Star offers.

“The new logo, developed inhouse, was immediately embraced by the Silver Star team and community as truly capturing the essence of the Silver Star experience, especially the passion and enthusiasm for mountain culture and sport,” said Anne Haight, the resort’s sales and marketing director.

“We also unveiled a new website, complete with new functionality and high definition webcams for nice sharp images of the resort.”

The bottom of the star in the

logo is a simplified mountain shape, depicting the full mountain experience rather than simply a ski resort.

The four points of the star represent the four faces to the mountain - Attridge, Vance Creek, Silver Woods and Putnam Creek.

The evolution of Silver Star’s brand was driven by recent expansion into a wider variety of activities in winter and the growth of summer operations.

“The colour palette of the logo is reflected in the colours of the village and represents the different summer and winter activities, including purple for Tube Town and hiking, orange for snowshoeing and the bike park, green for fat biking and disc golf, red for cross-country skiing and cross-country biking, and blue for alpine sports and the gnome roam,” said Haight.

Local residents can have a few laughs and ensure some four-legged friends are cared for.

The Vernon Pet Soup Kitchen will host the Raise the Woof fundraising comedy show Nov. 14 at the Village Green Hotel.

“With the money we hope to raise, we will be able to buy more pet food to ensure no one leaves our distribution events empty handed as we sometimes experience,” said Tonya Perkins, lead volun9:10:27 AM teer with the soup kitchen.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m., with dinner at 6:30 p.m. and the show at 8 p.m. There will also be a silent auction.

The featured comedians are Sid Davis, Steve Mazan and Travis Nelson.

Raise the Woof is organized by Shelly Korobanik, with Pooch Partners.

Tickets are $50 each and they are available from www.poochpartners.ca., the Bean Scene or from Pet Soup Kitchen volunteers.

“This is a great idea for a group outing, work Christmas party, date night or a friends get-together,” said Perkins.

The Vernon Pet Soup Kitchen’s mission is to keep pets with their owners in times of need.

“We help by providing supplementary pet food and supplies to people going through difficult times such as seniors on a low pension, single parents,

people recently laid off or homeless individuals,” said Perkins.

“Pets are incredibly therapeutic. They never judge you, and they always love you. Your pet can save your life when nothing seems to be going right. Many people will feed their pets before they feed themselves, so by offering this service we help alleviate some of that pressure and allow people to better care for themselves and their beloved pets.”

The Pet Soup Kitchen is a volunteer run organization in partnership with Healthy Spot Pet Nutrition and Supply.

“We receive donations of pet food and supplies from our local pet stores as well as people in the community. Without the generosity of our patrons, we wouldn’t be able to do this,” said Perkins.

On the second Thursday of each month, the group hold a distribution event behind the People Place from 3 to 4 p.m.

“Anyone going through a tough time needing a bit of help to feed their pets is welcome,” said Perkins.

First responders celebrated Excitement is growing over plans to celebrate the North Okanagan’s emergency personnel.

The inaugural First Responders appreciation night will be held Tuesday at Kal Tire Place.

“We’re expecting more than 400 North Okanagan first responders and their families to enjoy the evening,” said Beth Marks, with the organizing committee.

“Every responder who has called to reserve their tickets has been very appreciative of the recognition and they’re looking forward to the Vipers game.”

The Vernon Vipers have donated adult tickets for the event and Kal Tire has purchased up to 200 family tickets for those who wish to bring their children.

Homes tested for radon Morning Star Staff

A non-profit housing organization is taking steps to ensure the safety of its tenants.

The Vernon Native Housing Society has purchased 22 radon test kits through the B.C. Lung Association’s RadonAware program.

“We want to ensure tenants living in our buildings are protected from unnecessary radonrelated lung cancer risk,” said Karen Gerein, VNHS general manager.

“We know Vernon has indoor radon levels higher than what is considered safe by Health Canada standards and we want to ensure our residents are safe.”

Radon is responsible for as much as 16 percent of lung cancer, and 3,200 lung cancer deaths, in Canada each year, according to the BCLA. “The VNHS has 22 buildings under its umbrella. We intend to radon test them all this fall and winter,” said Gerein.

James Verhuel, building maintenance manager, will soon be certified to install a radon reduction system himself.

“We certainly hope our buildings’ test results come back below the Health Canada safety guideline, but should they be high, we’ll be pre-

LISA MAZUREK/MORNING STAR

Braden Kuhnhuhn of the Vernon Magnums fights off a tackle from Kelowna Riders’ Matt Dickson in Pee Wee football action Sunday afternoon at Greater Vernon Athletics Park.

Magnums hit stride

Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Magnums put together their best team effort of the season Sunday by stopping the Kelowna Riders 25-6 in Southern Interior Pee Wee Football League play at the Greater Vernon Athletics Park.

The Magnums had lost 46-18 the last time they faced the Riders.

After the Riders scored first, Dominick Kitzman answered with a dynamic performance, taking the kickoff return 70 yards for a touchdown and later scoring on a 30-yard interception return for a touchdown to kickstart the Magnums.

Quarterback Braden Kuhnkuhn executed the offence to perfection and the Magnums got excellent blocking from linemen Jace Beauchamp, Ethan Stenquist and Aiden Desmarais, and receivers Dillon Rinkel, Saxon Walton and Carter Doyle to allow for some big gains for the running backs.

Kolby Thorpe was clutch for the Magnums, using speed and agility to rush for 180 yards and two touchdowns, including a 60-yarder. Skyler Broughton used his size and speed to finish with 96 yards on the ground.

Kolby Thorpe (12 tackles) and Ethan Haber (10 tackles and a fumble recovery) led the charge on defence. Ryan Harms and Rasheed Hashi were a

force on the d-line. Brady Devries, Gunnar Nyberg, and Dominick Kitzman made some excellent open field tackles.

“The coaches couldn’t be prouder of our team.,” said Vernon head coach Tim Thorpe. “We have seen tremendous improvement in the boys and their hard work is certainly showing with impressive results on the field. Today, we achieved a season-long goal of getting an offensive, defensive, and special teams touchdown. What a great way to finish the season.”

The Magnums narrowly missed the post-season.

Thorpe gave big props to coaches Gene Bryant, Brad Devries, Chris Burke and Ethan Ehman and also thanked team mom, Melissa Mitchell, and minor football president, Lee-Ann Ehman, for taking care of the administrative duties.

In Atom action Sunday, the Magnums tied Kelowna 6-6. Reid Williamson got the only Vernon touchdown along with four tackles.

Defensive linemen Sophia Winstanley and Lochlen Kilford successfully wiped the field with six hard tackles each. QB Owen Ranger had five outstanding tackles and a fumble recovery. Morgan Hackman, Hunter Hamilton, Nathan Rinkel and Issaiah Grant also had some huge tackles. Vernon visits Kamloops Broncos Sunday in playoff action.

The Vernon Vipers will be bigger and older as they open a threegame B.C. Hockey League road swing tonight in Port Alberni.

The Snakes will welcome 20-yearold centre Ben Butcher, obtained in a Tuesday trade from the Langley Rivermen for 18-year-old defenceman Austin Cho, and mammoth 20-year-old d-man Latrell Charleson, signed as a free agent at deadline Thursday.

“He (Butcher) didn’t play a lot of quality minutes, but we’re going to put him in some more situations,” said Viper head coach/GM Mark Ferner. “He plays hard consistently and brings character. Langley thought they needed an offensive d-man so Ben became available.”

The 6-foot-2, 190-pound Butcher, a left-handed shot, has compiled 36 goals in 184 BCHL games with Langley, Surrey Eagles and Chilliwack Chiefs.

The son of former NHL defenceman Garth Butcher, Ben knows the area well, having played one season under Vernon’s Troy Mick with Pursuit of Excellence in Kelowna as a 16-year-old.

“I was a little bit surprised about the trade, but I’m actually really excited,” said Butcher, from his home in Bellingham, where he enjoys water sports in the summer on Whatcom Lake.

“I’ve heard Vernon’s an unbelievable place to play. I can add some size and be an all-around player who can score some goals.”

Butcher had 5-4-9 in 17 games with Langley. The Vipers picked him up in Abbotsford Thursday on their way to Port Alberni. They face the Alberni Valley Bulldogs tonight.

Butcher cheers for the Leafs and high-scoring snipers Evgeni Malkin and Anze Kopitar. He also likes play-

ing soccer (was a keeper in youth) and basketball.

Garth, who played 14 seasons in the NHL, including nine with the Vancouver Canucks, runs some restaurants in Toronto. His oldest son, Matt, a former BCHLer, helps Garth in the business.

Cho, an 18-year-old from Mississauga, Ont., was in his rookie season having one assist in 17 games.

Cho is a 6-foot-1, 190-pounder.

He is committed to RPI Engineers for 2017-18. Last season, the 6-foot1, 195-pounder played for the St. Andrews College Saints and racked up 12 goals and 52 assists for 64 points in 80 games, and was listed at No. 100 on NHL Central Scouting’s final rankings for the 2015 Draft.

“Austin is a guy that has been on our radar since his St. Andrews College days,” said Rivermen head coach/GM Bobby Henderson.

“He is a very highly touted player that will bring a lot to our lineup. He is a bigger body that moves the puck well and will really help stabilize the back-end for us.”

Charleson played last season for Surrey and was suspended indefinitely last February after he collided with, and pushed referee Kirk Wood from behind, at the close of a game against the Chilliwack Chiefs.

Charleson addressed the hit on Twitter last year.

“For those who have seen the video of me running into the ref, I’d like to say it was not intentional and I meant in no way to hurt the ref,” he wrote.

“After the game I apologized to the ref and we shook hands. All ended well.”

Said Ferner: “He’s a pretty good player. For a big man, he’s got some good hands and he can shoot it a ton.”

Charleson is a 6-foot-4, 229 pound Surrey product who registered 11 goals and 23 points in 23 games last year with the Eagles.

Kineshanko lifts Lions Morning Star Staff

The Interior Savings Credit Union Lions grounded Salmon Arm North Broadview Plumbing 5-1 in Pee Wee hockey action Saturday.

Ryan Vandesande opened the Lions’ scoring, unassisted, at 6:52 of the first period at Civic Arena.

Jared Ross recorded several clutch saves for the Lions in a scoreless second period.

Tage Kineshanko sniped his first of two on a breakaway early in the third and the Lions broke free with Zachary Manthorne scoring off a beautiful feed from Elias Wery.

VSS Panthers grounded the South Kam Titans 32-0 in Interior Junior Varsity Football League play Wednesday at Panther Field.

The Cats rang up two touchdowns on their first two drives. The first TD came on a five-yard pass from Thomas Hyett to Dylan Huber.

On the next series, Brad Hladik caught a 16-yard TD from Hyett. After a few stalled series, the defence scored their first points of the season as linebacker Sam Knox recorded a 20-yard pick six.

The Titans mounted a decent drive getting the ball to the VSS five-yard line before defensive back Jaden Steinke recovered a fumble. It was 18-0 at the half.

The second half showed the depth of the Panthers as every player got significant playing time. Hladik and Charles Lemay each caught a touchdown pass from Hyett in the second half leaving the Grade 9 QB 7-for 10 with four TDs and 98 yards for the day.

Leading the way for solo tackles was Grade 8 Mathew Reich. Tyler Deboer also had an outstanding day with a fumble recovery, sack and three solo tackles.

Defensive tackle Shawn Randall came in to fill a void left by injuires and ended up making a big sack in the third quarter. VSS finished at 3-1 and should be ranked in the top-eight in B.C. so they can host a game next week. That announcement will be made Sunday. The top-16 earn a playoff berth.

The Rutland Voodoos grounded the Seaton Sonics 51-20 in other Jayvee play Tuesday at Greater Vernon Athletics Field.

The Sonics finished their first season in years at 0-3 with a young and inexperienced roster. Rutland topped the table at 4-0, but will play in the AAA post-season.

Wide receivers Chris Haber and Aidan Rivard did a masterful job of running their pass routes to assist Zack Boring and Miles Forest in creating running lanes for the Sonic ball carriers.

Solid blocking by Shai Baker, Taylor Pelletier, Brennan Kennedy, Kole Duval and Liam Funk did the rest to allow Landon Colvin to rack up 145

Seaton Sonics Landon Colvin tackles Rutland Voodoos’ Matt Klak in Junior Varsity Football action Tuesday. yards and three TDs. Quarterback Thomas Mackiewich did an excellent job of calling his own plays, and contributed 85 yards rushing, including a two-point convert.

On defence, Nolan Cummings, Mac Gilchrist, Jorrie Baker and Lyndon Rivers kept up solid pressure on the Voodoo QB, who had limited pass options due to the coverage provided by corners Morgan Laverdure, Mat Hemstedt, Cayden Coombs and Ethan Elliot.

Colvin also figured prominently on defence with an interception and several key tackles as did Forest, Mackiewich, Boring and Dakota William.

“Our guys just played their best half of the season,” said Seaton head coach Ron Kirschner, noting the Sonics had outscored their opponent in the second half. “We didn’t lose, we just ran out of time. “ Meanwhile, Levi Nicholas of the Varsity Panthers has been named the High School Player of the Week

by Howard Tsumura and The Vancouver Province.

The running back rushed for 185 yards and three TDs as the Panthers rolled over South Kam 21-7 Saturday for their third straight Interior Varsity championship.

Vipers battle Bulldogs Continued from A18

He produced 5-22-27 with Battlefords North Stars in Saskatchewan the year before and got in 51 games with the Prince George Spruce Kings and Coquitlam Express as an 18-year-old.

The Viper bus picked up Charleson Thursday afternoon as they headed to Port Alberni to start a three-game road trip Friday night against the Bulldogs.

Charleson is a 6-foot-4, 229pound Surrey product who registered 11 goals and 23 points in 23 games last year with the Eagles.

He produced 5-22-27 with Battlefords North Stars in Saskatchewan the year before.

“That (referee incident) was kind of a freak thing and I’m trying to put it behind me and keep playing hockey,” said Charleson, who enjoys pick-up hoops. “I’m a big body, physical and I like to get offensively active and use my shot. Hopefully, I can get some good numbers like last season.”

Charleson said he had been rent-

ing ice to get in some skating in the hopes of playing his final year of Junior A. The Vipers earlier in the week traded for 20-year-old centre Ben Butcher of the Langley Rivermen.

To make room for Butcher and Charleson, the Vipers released winger Zach Andrusiak Thursday morning.

The 5-foot-9 Armstrong product had two assists in 11 games.

“That was tough to do,” said Ferner.

“If Zach chooses to play Junior B, we would love to AP him and bring him back next year.”

The Vipers are without No. 1 goalie Andrew Shortridge (hip flexor) and were hoping to bring Tavin Grant of the Kamloops Storm on the trip to back up Brendan Barry. Grant, however, was ill, forcing the Vipers to make some urgent calls to Junior B teams on the coast Thursday.

Meanwhile, rookie Jimmy Lambert has committed to the University of Alaska-Fairbanks Nanooks for the 2017-18 season. The Saskatoon product has 5-7-12 in 18 games.

Storm scorch Flames Rebel snipers Morning Star Staff

The Vernon U12 Storm swamped the Shuswap Flames 6-4 in ringette action Saturday at Kal Tire Place.

Jasmine Horton and Katrina Winstanley were aggressive on the offence with hard checking.

Rhys Taylor-Hawes turned the hat trick with one assisted by Brooklyn Tardiff. Sierra Lochhead clicked from Sam Shaw, Chloe Scabar converted from Rhys Taylor-Hawes and Chayse Krause scored on a feed by Lockhead.

The Vernon U12 Venom needed some strong special teams play to hold on to a 3-3 tie against the Kelowna Flash on Saturday.

With Kelowna up 1-0, Vernon’s penalty killers dug deep and Makenna Jackson sacrificed the body to get the ring to Sierra Fernley, who scored shorthanded late in the period.

Kristen Francks dished to Jackson, who scored to make it 2-1 Vernon before Aimee Skinner rang up another shorthanded tally to make it 3-1 with 10 minutes to go.

Two minutes later, Kelowna pressed hard, sneaking one through to come to within a goal. With one minute left, Kelowna sprung a for-

ward on a breakaway against Vernon goalie Jordan Tung.Tung dropped to a butterfly and made a heart-stopping beautiful save to maintain the lead.

Kelowna scored the equalizer with eight seconds left. Amelia Johnson was a stalwart on defence.

Vernon Ignite, a U14 A team, tied the Kelowna U16 B team 3-3 on Halloween with Grace Cornell, Julie Francis and Alassa Johnson scoring The Ignite also drew 3-3 with the Salmon Arm U14 B team Sunday, getting snipes from Tristan Dewitt, Hannah McMorran and Cornell.

The Vernon Crushers doubled the Kelowna Avalanche 10-5 on Halloween at the CNC. Kennedy Jackson had the hat trick, while Natasha Vienneau and Madison Edgar each registered dueces and singles came from Rory Lang, Lucia Manton and Emily Gilman.

The Crushers posted a 6-6 tie with the Kelowna Ice Angels early Sunday morning at Kal Tire Place.

The Crushers were down 4-0 until Gilman found her legs and sped in and with a spin-o-rama move and went top shelf. Jackson then added a deuce as the Crushers clawed back.

Vernon Pee Wee Female Lakers win shut-out!

Last weekend, the Vernon Pee Wee Female Lakers shut out the Kamloops Pee Wee Girls 10-0. Coach Mario Richards and assistant coach Ronie, with the team’s first year goalie Kristi Vassberg, got the win.

spook Chiefs Morning Star Staff

The Butcher Boys Rebels were treated to hat tricks from Connor Cecchini and Dawson Twamley in their 10-2 spooking of the Stevenson Mechanical Chiefs on Halloween morning at the Civic.

Two minutes into the North Okanagan Pee Wee Super Hockey League game, a backchecking Reilly Teager dug out the puck for Twamley, who sprang Cecchini. The Rebel winger rifled his first on the stick side.

Twamley provided the finish on the second Rebel goal, snapping home Ephren Potter-Cramer’s offering. Paige Brayshaw struck next, pouncing on a zesty rebound from Ronan Bedard.

Early in the second, Quinn Soon forced a turnover at his own line, and Teager sent Cecchini into the clear again for a low laser. A minute later, Twamley reeled in Morgan Martens’s outlet pass, danced in on net, and rippled the mesh high.

Midway through the frame, Twamley darted down the left wing and wired his third. Next, Kayden Bowering pounded the puck on net, and Teager cashed the loose change.

Set up by Twamley, Cecchini completed his hatty, cruising down the right side and picking the far corner like a young Jari Kurri. Colby Restiaux got the Chiefs on the board, but Teager answered back, slipping one through the five-hole, after Cole Grevatt forechecked the puck free.

Jordyn Morris potted the Chiefs’ second, driving the net off a draw. Ronan Bedard notched the lone goal of the third, stealing the puck behind the Chiefs’ net and tucking it in with a nifty wraparound. Rebel speedster Kobe Marchand provided persistent puck pressure, while d-man Alan Lewis moved the puck with authority.

Ethan Huizinga was sizzling in net and d-man Ryley Johnson scored twice as the Corbett Office Kings crushed Vernon Authentic Plaque & Trophy Snakes 6-2 in Midget play Sunday night at Civic.

Seb Wenger, Cole Benjaminson, Jim Brodoway and Reid Lawrence, with a top-cheddar breakaway snipe, completed the Kings’ offence. Cole Bradley

Cole Martin and Nick Mitchell replied for the Snakes, who were beat to loose pucks all night.

The Kings had their undefeated streak snapped at three with a 6-4 loss to the Talon Benefits Hawks Friday night at Civic. Brett Lambert (2), Sacht and Halle Higgins Wilson, put the Kings up 4-0.

Adam Roemer and Jaden Steinke each produced two goals for the 4-0 Hawks, who got singles from Brendan Horsfield and Keefer Kaempf.

Nedco zapped the North Okanagan Knights 6-2 in Midget league play Saturday afternoon at NorVal Sports Centre. Parker Wadsworth buried a goal early in the first for Nedco, assisted by Tavyn Best.

First-period snipes also came from Maguire Dickinson and d-man Colton Schaper-Kotter, who scored from a quick snapper in front of the net, assisted by Chris Moore. Vernon killed a power play in the second, followed up by a quick goal from Dickinson. Moore split the defence with fancy stick handling and furious forechecking in the third for Vernon’s fifth goal. Dickinson converted with a wrister, for the hat trick, assisted by Wadsworth.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder A FIVE-CARD SUIT IS BETTER THAN FOUR Bobby Charlton, a former England soccer star, said, “Beckham is unusual. He was desperate to be a footballer. His mind was made up when he was nine or 10. Many kids think that it’s beyond them. But you can’t succeed without practicing at any sport.”

At the bridge table, practice makes less imperfect. In this deal, West leads the club two against three no-trump. Assuming clubs are 4-3, what should South do? What do you think of the auction?

One aspect of a bridge hand that inexperienced players underestimate is having a five-card suit.

Remember, it is one more potential trick than a fourcarder. You should add

one point for a respectable five-card suit; my minimum is usually queen-jackfifth. Hence, in this deal, South’s opening bid, which promised 15-17 points.

North used Stayman before putting his partner into three no-trump.

West led a fourth-highest club two.

Declarer started with only three top tricks: one spade and two clubs. (I do not remember another threeno-trump contract with so few instant winners.)

He could establish four diamond tricks, but still needed a couple of heart winners as well. If East had the heart ace, the timing was not that critical, but with West having that ace, South had to be careful.

Declarer, to retain his only guaranteed hand entry,

took the first trick with dummy’s king and attacked diamonds. East won the second round and returned a club. South took that trick, cashed his diamonds, discarding two spades and one heart from dummy, then attacked hearts. West could win with his ace and take two club tricks, but declarer had the balance.

7-Eleven is bringing summer back.

It may not be beach season, but that’s not stopping 7-Eleven Canada…

On Saturday, Nov. 7 (11/7 – the reverse of 7-Eleven’s 7/11 birthday), 7-Eleven is bringing back summer for one day only by hosting a national Slurpee Beach Party.

Slurpee fans are being challenged to hang-up their winter clothes and get into their bathing suits.

If they do, they’ll get a free, medium Slurpee to complete their cool beach experience.

The promotion, run nationally for the first time this year, will be at all 7-Eleven stores from B.C. to Ontario.

Medium Slurpee drinks will be available between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday, November 7, or while stocks last.

“We think it’s fun to disrupt things once in a while and what better way than with a beach party in winter and on the reverse of our birthday,” said Raj Kapoor, vice president and general manager, 7-Eleven Canada.

automatic transmission.

While we were driving pre-production, Americanspec sedans, a near equivalent of the trim I captained is the Comfortline, which will make up the bulk of sales in Canada and starts at $29,295 (excluding destination charges and taxes.)

However, if you’re looking to get into a Passat, the base MSRP for the Trendline, which comes with a six-speed manual transmission, comes in at $23,295 or with the automatic, $24,605 (both excluding destination and taxes.)

The top-of-the-line Passat comes in the form of the Execline, starting at $38,295 (excluding destination charges and taxes.)

The Execline will give you the potency of the 3.6L VR6 engine – complete with a 280 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque linked to a six-speed DSG automatic. While this trim will make up a small fraction of Canadian Passat Sales, but those who want more everything in their Passat can get it if they so desire.

Safety is another area that VW pays close attention to.

The inclusion of the Intelligent Crash Response System means that the doors automatically unlock, the fuel pump shuts off and, and the hazard lights turn on in the event of a collision.

The collaboration of new sheet metal, revised styling on the inside and out, and great safety features solidify the Passat as a worthy model to consider in the mid size sedan category.

The 2016 Passat is on sale now for a midNovember delivery.

Volvo blasts from the past in Hollywood style

By Keith Morgan

Swedish automaker Volvo celebrated 60 years in North America with a special gathering of celebrities and vintage cars at Paramount Pictures Studios in Hollywood.

Comedian and vintage Volvo owner Jay Leno entertained a crowd of more than 300 Volvo owners, executives, retailers, and media amongst an unprecedented collection of new and historic Volvo cars, live music, and Scandinavian fare.

Notable cars on display included a 1928 PV4, Volvo’s first covered car; a 1955 PV444, the first Volvo exported to the U.S.; the 1967 P1800S driven by Roger Moore in the hit sixties’ television series, “The Saint”; and the all-new, awardwinning XC90 sport utility vehicle.

Lex Kerssemakers, President and CEO, Volvo Cars of North America. “Maybe they grew up riding in a Volvo, or were saved by one, or perhaps they learned to drive in one. Whatever the case, we are celebrating those experiences and now our version of luxury for generations to come.”

Volvo Cars is benefitting from a recent investment of $11billion that is being used to develop an entirely new lineup of luxury vehicles. The company has experienced nine months of consecutive year-over-year growth and is aiming to increase sales to 800,000 cars globally in the medium term. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Volvo’s 60th anniversary celebration

Guests explored Volvo’s past and future by visiting a series of Volvo branded shops created in the facades on Paramount’s City Streets back lot.

In the Volvo Cars Art Gallery, for example, was a collection of Julius Shulman-inspired photos starring Volvos past and present taken recently by Ann Street Studios at iconic locations around Los Angeles, where the very first Volvo was imported in 1955. Shulman was an American architectural photographer whose work spread California midcentury modern around the world.

Guests perused the collection of vintage Volvo advertisements in the Volvo Cars History Museum, and in the Bowers & Wilkins Listening Room, audiophiles appreciated the high technology powering the 19-speaker, 1,400-watt entertainment system available in the all-new XC90 sport utility.

“Volvo has had a special place in many Americans’ hearts for generations,” said

Volvo Cars’ XC90 has been awarded the highest possible safety rating from the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), underscoring its position as one of the safest cars on the road today.

The seven seat SUV was awarded a Top Safety Pick+ rating, which is only given to cars that achieve full scores in all crashworthiness and front crash prevention tests and which excel in both preventive and protective safety performance.

The IIHS award follows a decision last week by Euro NCAP, the European safety regulator, to award the XC90 five stars in its 2015 Euro NCAP tests.

1.6T Ultimate AWD model shown♦

The IIHS crashworthiness category includes tests covering small overlap, moderate overlap, side, roof strength, head restraints and seats. Volvo achieved top scores in all of these tests and was deemed superior in front crash prevention thanks to the standard City Safety technology that is fitted in the new XC90.

Lovelies are more than just pretty voices The Good Lovelies ‘Burn the Plan’ when they give this year’s only on-stage concert at the Performing Arts Centre Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

Maybe you’ve heard them on the radio blending their pitch perfect voices to k-os’ Crabbuckit, or backing up Stuart McLean on his Vinyl Café.

To hear Canadian trio the Good Lovelies is like going back to those harmonious sirens of the Second World War, The Andrews Sisters.

But there’s so much more to this Ontario-based group, who have been ping-ponging across the country as of late, and just performed with McLean at a live taping of the Vinyl Café in Huntsville, Ont. Susan Passmore, Kerri Ough (pronounced “oh”) and Caroline Brooks wanted to prove they were more than just pretty voices, hence their new album Burn the Plan.

For Passmore, who joins the Good Lovelies on their current cross-country tour, which stops at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Nov. 15, the new album is a vast departure from the women’s last record, 2011’s Let the Rain Fall.

It was that album which brought the group numerous comparisons to The Andrews Sisters.

“The Andrews Sisters are iconic and certainly are the best known of that genre during their time.

Everybody knows at least one of their songs. It’s a compliment to be compared to them. It’s a cool comparison. There’s something appealing with tight, close harmonies,” said Passmore, on the phone from her current home in Victoria. “(However,) with four years between records, we wanted to take a different shift towards our approach.

“For Let the Rain Fall, we had the Good Lovelies in mind. For (Burn the Plan), we were trying not to craft

The Good Lovelies’ Caroline Brooks, Susan Passmore and Kerri Ough give the first and only on-stage concert at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre this season, Nov. 15. a Good Lovelies’ record. We picked out the 13 songs we wanted to do and the three of us were writing out our stories into songs.”

The plan worked.

The Good Lovelies are up for Vocal Group of the Year and the album’s producer, Les Cooper (who has worked with Jill Barber), is up for producer of the year at this weekend’s Canadian Folk Music Awards in Edmonton.

“Les Cooper opened the door for us. He co-wrote the songs and was very involved,” said Passmore, adding the group will be on the road and therefore unable to attend the awards ceremony.

Besides playing a bunch of instruments, from guitar, banjo and mandolin, the Lovelies also used something called an omnichord on Burn

the Plan. The instrument, which resembles an old box TV converter, is actually a digital autoharp.

“It has a few different features on it. You can pre-program it to have beats, then there are buttons for chords. It’s like a Nintendo for chords,” said Passmore, adding it makes a high bell sound based on whatever chord you play.

The instrument can be seen and heard on the band’s colourful video for single Waiting for You off Burn the Plan.

“Kerri was writing on the omnichord and then when we were together in preproduction, the song sort of happened in the studio. It was very organic,” said Passmore.

Organic is a good way to describe how the Lovelies came to be, well, the Good Lovelies.

From the town of Cobourg, east of Toronto on Lake Ontario, Passmore grew up just down the road from Ough, who is from Port Hope. They went to the same French immersion school and met around Grades 2/3.

“We knew each other, but because we were in different classes, we weren’t around each other as much. At the end of high school, when Kerri was in Grade 12, we were in some of the same classes and we were in jazz choir together,” said Passmore.

Passmore and Ough met Brooks five years later, in 2002, through mutual friends, and were each billed as solo performers when they played their first show together.

“It’s funny with our first show, there’s a poster out there some-

where that reads Sue P, Kerri O, and the Brooks Sisters,” said Passmore. “At that point we hadn’t tried singing together, but in 2006 we did, and it clicked. We felt it was meant to be, we were having so much fun. We got along so well, and those first road trips together were crazy.”

That early chemistry can be heard on the Lovelies’ 2011 album, Let the Rain Fall, which not only featured their original songs, but a lauded cover of k-os’ 2004 smash hit Crabbuckit.

“There are certain covers we just love doing and if that’s how someone learns about us, that’s fine,” said Passmore, adding Crabbuckit was a last minute addition to the record.

“We thought, let’s record it and see what happens. We haven’t been in touch with (k-os) and don’t know what he thought of it, but you’ll find lots of female jazz choirs and line dancing groups doing a version of the song. We’re hoping one day a line dance group will perform with us to the song.”

Besides their last two studio albums, and a live concert recording, the Good Lovelies have also released a Christmas album, 2009’s Under the Mistletoe.

“We may do another Christmas album in the future. We had fun doing our first Christmas album, except it was hot outside when we were recording it,” laughed Passmore.

Although the Good Lovelies won’t be performing any preseasonal jingles on this western part of their tour – they are saving those songs for their just announced Christmas tour in Ontario – they do have a wintry piece in mind.

“It is part of a five-song EP that will be released later this year. We performed the song with the Vinyl Café,” said Passmore.

As of press time, tickets for the Good Lovelies on-stage concert (where the audience is seated on stage with the band), Nov. 15 at 7:30 p.m., at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre, were very limited. Contact the Ticket Seller at 250-549-7469 for info. The concert is licensed - no minors.

Contenders are brothers in arms the Contenders: A brief preview

C

lassic B.C. folk duo, The Contenders, releases their latest album, of which we have a brief glimpse.

The group, consisting of Gary Fjellgaard and Valdy both on vocals and guitars, hearken back to the straight ahead days of working musicians when band leaders used to sell records (vinyl Dean Gordon-Smith circles played at 33½ rpm) out of the back of station wagons.

The Contenders’ sound is roughly based on folk forms from the British Isles that took hold in Appalachia and moved westward.

The groups’ heartland affiliations aren’t touched by Greenwich Village aesthetics. Their music gets happy and the lyrics reflect restlessness and yearning, not unlike early rock and roll.

But that’s just a surface assessment.

There’s always something deeper with these guys. Their plaintive voices evoke

the sense of a western spirit and troubadour lifestyle.

On their cover of Mark Knopfler’s The Next Time I’m in Town, The Contenders sing like brothers getting down with the freedom of the road.

Moez Surani

1 to 2:30 p.m. at the Vernon branch of the Okanagan Regional Library. No registration is required.

Surani’s workshop will explore methods of writing inspired by

the Dadaists, William S. Burroughs, and others.

An accomplished poet and performance artist, Surani has just been long-listed for the 2015 CBC Poetry Prize (he is among 20 writers, including local poets Laisha Rosnau and Harold Rhenisch, who are also up for the prize) and is completing a one-month residency at the Caetani Cultural Centre.

Surani’s writing has been published inter-

nationally in Harper’s Magazine, The Walrus, Best Canadian Poetry 2013 and Best Canadian Poetry 2014.

He has received the Antigonish Review’s Poetry Prize and a Chalmers Arts Fellowship, which supported a five-month research stint to India and East Africa.

When his first collection of poetry, Reticent Bodies, was published, one critic assessed the book’s impact: “Reticent

Bodies is that rare book that has the power to be a lynchpin, a hinge in the history of Canadian poetry.”

In 2012, Surani published a second collection, Floating Life, which was described as suffused with “stunning, simple images.”

He is currently working on his next book of poetry, . . . Operación Operation Opération . . ., named after “operation” in each official United Nations language.

Zombie scout film lacks honour

The

scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse

B

en (Tye Sheridan) Augie (Joey Morgan) and Carter (Logan Miller) are 16-year-old boy scouts, seriously considering giving up their scarves when an outbreak of zombies changes their priorities.

Now, if the three of them can get to the big high school party before the zombies do, they might be able to save the day and make scouting cool again.

We say, “It’s another rip-off of other movies teenage boys will like.”

TAYLOR: Sometimes a movie has a great idea, “Can you get a merit badge in scouting for surviving a zombie outbreak?” Unfortunately, the execution of the idea fails to live up to that greatness, “Yes you can, but it’s not going to be much fun.”

All zombie movies have certain characteristics in common: survivalism in groups, combat against the undead, but Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse owes what few strengths it has

Reel Reviews

Taylor and Howe

to other films. There’s nothing original about it.

HOWE: That’s because it had nearly nothing to do with scouting. It’s as if they had written the script, found that it was like other zombie movies, albeit not as good as they thought, then they said, “I know, let’s make it with boy scouts to conquer the zombies.

That will be different!”

The problem is they don’t do anything scoutlike, except for Ben who mends a handbag strap by tying it together.

TAYLOR: Agreed.

If they had made these boys a bit younger, taken out a bit of the very average gore, nudity and swearing, it would have worked.

Here is a list of

Paramount Pictures

Ben (Tye Sheridan) Augie (Joey Morgan) and Carter (Logan Miller) write their own chapter in Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse. other horror films that inspired this film and are superior to it. If you are in the mood for what it is, Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse attempts to deliver, and if you haven’t seen any of these films, perhaps check them out instead: Zombieland, Return of the Living Dead, Re-Animator.

Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse tries to be too many things at once and comes across as crass, blunt and base.

HOWE: Come on admit it, you thought it

was bad, just as much as I did!

This is now two movies in the past two weeks I had been looking forward to that wasted my time; Crimson Peak being the other. Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse is perhaps the worst movie I have seen this year and that’s saying a lot because many of the films have been rubbish. Save your money, your dignity and don’t go to see it.

Pottery Road Yoga studio opens to art

Morning Star Staff

East off of Highway 6 and along Pottery Road is a cheerfully painted, yellow heritage house with a red roof.

The home and studio of Neil and Sherrie Erickson, who moved to the Okanagan 10 years ago, the home has become a hub of artistic activity.

It is where Sherrie teaches yoga during the week, and in the evening the couple hosts concerts, comedy acts, and inspiring movies.

It’s also now the home of an art gallery, located at the back of the property, which also doubles as Sherrie’s yoga studio.

On Friday, Nov. 13 at 7 p.m., the Ericksons invite the community to the opening reception of Neil’s first solo exhibition in eight years.

“You can expect to see a wide range of Okanagan landscape acrylics and oils painted on board,” said Sherrie.

The road from diagnosis to support High blood pressure in the lungs is the simple explanation for a complex disease — November is Pulmonary Hypertension Awareness Month Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff

In just a few months, Louise Taylor went from living an active life filled with good health to one that turned her into a fatigued, house-bound patient.

“Suddenly I was very short of breath.

Next came five months of tests: heart, lungs, sleep apnea and many blood tests,” she said.

In October 2014, Taylor was diagnosed with scleroderma-induced Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH), which meant her heart could no longer pump blood and oxygen to her lungs with ease.

“Just breathing was a task, and in a matter of weeks I was sent to Vancouver General Hospital (VGH) for another heart test that confirmed this rare disease was due to scleroderma,” she said.

Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease, whose characteristic feature is the presentation of hard, thickening of the skin, and the lesions that occur in small blood vessels.

For Taylor, her diagnosis of PAH has involved a variety of treatments and a number of trips back and forth to VGH. “I was put on Opsumit (a drug that works to open narrow blood vessels between the heart and lungs) while we awaited the home visit from a nurse.”

The nurse came to Taylor’s house twice daily for two hours at a time for a week, teaching her and her husband how to build cassettes of Caripul, a medication for the long-term intravenous treatment of primary pulmonary hypertension (PH) and secondary PH due to scleroderma.

“Next came a trip back to VGH for 10 days to have the Hickman, or intravenous line, inserted into the chest,” she said. “While there we were taught how to clean and care for the site, flush the lines as well as how to change the bandages. Every possible emergency situation was reviewed.”

The Caripul is pumped into Taylor’s heart through an IV line attached to a hip pump that is worn 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Five boxes of supplies are ordered and delivered to the house every four weeks.

health challenges.

“First, I received a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, which two years later was reassessed to be polymyositis (inflammation of many muscles). Either the illness or the medications — or neither— may have been responsible for my development of pulmonary fibrosis, and that may have led to the PH. “The pharmacy visits have improved — it reminds me a bit of the theme song to the TV series Cheers as I go where ‘everybody knows my name.’ I’ve learned a whole lot of medical vocabulary, learned to take someone with me to doctors’ appointments and met some wonderful people in our local support group as well as the online support groups.

“I’m glad that my condition is under control with medication, and that I have a group of friends who have experiences that I can learn from if and when the disease worsens.

And I am still able to work, enjoy life with Katherine MortiMer/Morning Star Joan Nemeth (left), Doreen Millar and Marilyn Lane share friendship and support as members of my family, and laugh.”

Horoscope

BY EUGENIA LAST

YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY Lack of confidence will hold you back. Take control of your situation. Invest in you by improving your business credentials and contacts.

Educating yourself about industry trends and cultivating relationships with people who can give you sound advice will serve as steppingstones to your success.

Crossword Puzzle

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Focus on romance.

Surprise someone you care about. Whether it’s a new relationship or one you’ve been in for years, being attentive will ward off problems and bring you closer together.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Take care of business or tasks you’ve left unfinished before you take on a new challenge. Your innovative solutions will help to smooth relations with your colleagues.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Stick to your agenda and be ready to say no to additional responsibilities.

A good friend or family member will offer timely tips on how to get over a workplace hurdle.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Love is reaching new heights.

Let your imagination inspire you to add some spice to your personal life. Be patient with emotional relatives who come to you for answers.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Be receptive to new possibilities. Joining a worthy cause will be the beginning of a new friendship and lead to influential contacts.

Sharing your plans with others will raise your profile.

Previous Solution

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Self-confidence will be a byproduct of increased knowledge. Research to become more familiar with your topic and you will be able to sway others to your way of thinking.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Action, not words, will lead to the assistance you require to advance. You will raise support for your plans if you can substantiate the challenges you face.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Remain composed. Tension and anger will invoke you to say things you’ll regret.

Think before you speak or you could do irreparable damage to an important relationship.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Add comfort and convenience to your home and personal life. You can avoid opposition if you ask for input from those affected by the changes you make. Stay within your budget.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A day at a spa or a shopping expedition will help keep your mind off your worries. Consider getting together with friends for some lighthearted entertainment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will be unhappy if you feel obliged to hide your true feelings. Honest communication is the first step toward solving your problems. Don’t allow anyone to take advantage of your generosity.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Overextending your budget will result in added pressure. Travel and trinkets are enjoyable, but not if you are putting your financial future in jeopardy.

Don’t give in to demands or ultimatums.

Gustav (Gus) Reich It is with a sense of peace, yet sadness, that we announce the passing of Gustav Reich on November 1st, 2015 in Vernon, B.C., just two days before his 87th birthday. His love of family and music endured to the end.

Gus was born on November 3rd, 1928 in Herbert, Saskatchewan. He married Pauline Eberwein at Peace Lutheran Church in Vernon, B.C. on November 11th, 1953 where he was an active member of both the choir and council. In their early married years, Gus and Polly moved to Lavington, B.C. and later they operated the Kalwood Inn and the Oyama Garage with their sons.

Gus was active in many community organizations during this time. Retirement took them to Yuma, Arizona for 23 winters. Gus helped with Dougâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business for 15 summers with Mom making lunches and he loved every minute of it. His final years were spent at The Good Samaritan Heron Grove and the family are very grateful for their wonderful friends and the staff who helped care for Gus there.

Gus will be lovingly remembered by his wife; Polly to whom he was married for almost 62 years, his children; Gordon (Patti) Reich, Douglas Reich and Lois (Bill) Roper, nine grandchildren; Rob (Holly) Wisch, Andrea (Jack) Andres, Scott (Debbie Evans) Brett, Jenna (Chris) Boyd, Leanne (Ryan) Unger, Tamara (Trevor) Clayton, Nyssa (Shane Berg) Goodrich, Jonathan Reich and Daniel Reich, fourteen great-grandchildren; Brandon, Jessica, Kyle, Katie, Merrick, Kassondra, Bennett, Aaron, Rayyen, Isaac, Kai, Jacob, Elijah and Neeva along with numerous extended family members and friends. Gus was preceded in death by his parents; Rudolph and Christine (nee Schendel) Reich and by his siblings; Bill Mittelstaedt, Hilda Schipfel, Rudolf Reich, Lydia Reimer and Frieda Eichorst.

A Graveside Service at the Pleasant Valley Cemetery will precede the Memorial Service which will be held at Peace Lutheran Church on Friday, November 6th, 2015 at 2:00 P.M. with Pastor David Hunter officiating.

As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donations in memory of Gus to the Peace Lutheran Church Memorial Fund, 1204-30th Avenue, Vernon, B.C. V1T 1Z5 or the charity of their choice.

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.

Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
