Frankie spreads his wings JENNIFER SMITH

Morning Star Staff

rom a little ball of white fuzz found orphaned after his mother was killed, Frankie has flourished despite his once uncertain future. The red tailed hawk was rescued in early July from a nest overlooking Highway 97 in Coldstream, above Kalamalka Lake. Frankie and his brother were just weeks old, unable to fly or feed themselves, when their mother was killed after being hit by a semi-truck. If it weren’t for Coldstream residents Denis and Gerry Marson, and their sister Pauline Cummings, witnessing the accident, the young hawks may have never survived. The Marsons routinely watched the hawks, as their patio overlooked the highway and the hawk’s nest. “Everyday I watched them,” said Gerry. “So the day she was hit I just cried and cried. It was awful.” Unsure of who to call to help rescue the young hawks, the Marsons were put in touch with the South Okanagan Rehabilitation Centre for Owls. Despite being located near Oliver, SORCO volunteers made the trip up to Coldstream, and with the help of Horizon Tree Services, erected a boom to reach the nest. Unfortunately one of the young hawks had died in the overnight storm, but little Frankie was still hanging on. “He was so cute,” recalls Gerry, whose husband Denis had actually named the bird Frankie. As cute as Frankie was, SORCO executive manager Lauren Meads admits they were uncertain if he would make it. “We were a little worried at the beginning,” said Meads. “He was a little guy, only three weeks old. He had just lost his parent and one of his

With the Marsons and the original SORCO volunteers who had rescued Frankie on hand Monday, a cage was set in a field in the Commonage. After a little coaxing, a much larger, mature Frankie exited the cage, glanced around and then took to the sky. “I know I should be happy for him but I’m not,” said Gerry, instinctively worrying it might be too cold or scary for her feathered friend.

Despite her concerns, Meads explains the location is perfect for the hawk – being close to his parent’s range yet away from the busy highway, over grassy fields with a variety of trees for shelter.

Two-year prison term for three bank robberies ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Vernon Provincial Court judge Mayland McKimm is impressed with Michael Lawrence Schoenknecht’s attempts to rehabilitate himself from a nasty heroin addiction. On Thursday, McKimm agreed with defence lawyer Brian Loewen’s request that Schoenknecht be sentenced to two years in a federal prison after Schoenknecht pleaded guilty to three Vernon bank robberies, fueled by his heroin addiction.

“I am impressed by comments in the pre-sentence report and psychiatric assessment that said Mr. Schoenknecht’s remorse seemed genuine, and that was consistent with his attitude portrayed throughout the proceedings,” said McKimm. “The only risk to society is if he doesn’t deal with his drug habit and get the habit under control.” Schoenknecht, 30, whose family attended the court proceedings, pleaded guilty to bank robberies at VantageOne Credit Union, Bank of Montreal and HSBC over an eight-

month period in Vernon between December 2011 and July 2012. In each instance, Schoenknecht produced a note saying he had a weapon, but no weapon was ever produced or brandished during the robberies. McKimm was puzzled by the lack of victim impact statements from any of the tellers involved in the robberies. Schoenknecht will be placed on 12-months probation upon his release from prison. He must also provide a DNA sample and was given a 10-year firearms prohibition.

A location has also not been identified. The Vernon Public Art Gallery has recommended $7 million for an 18,000-square-foot building with climate control and proper storage. “The permanent collection is at risk in that (present) location,” said Tom Christensen, gallery spokesperson, of water leaks and humidity. “The gallery is the protector of our cultural heritage.” Christensen expects a new facility would lead to expanded programs and exhibits and draw tourists. “We see this as an opportunity to foster economic development and an opportunity to provide an improved community amenity,” he said.

An Armstrong man has been sentenced in a Seattle court to 10 years in prison and five years of supervised release for his part in smuggling drugs into the U.S. from Canada. Henry Rosenau, 61, pleaded guilty in July to conspiracy to import marijuana. Rosenau admitted he repeatedly smuggled thousands of pounds of marijuana across the border from Canada, illegally flying at low levels to avoid radar, and landing in wilderness areas as far east as Montana. “You had skills that you turned into something sinister for your own greed,” stated chief U.S. district judge Marsha J. Pechman upon sentencing Rosenau.” “You dumped lots and lots of drugs into this country that made their way into high schools and middle schools across Washington.” Rosenau confessed that between 2000 and 2005 he flew dozens of laods of marijuana into forested areas in western and eastern Washington, Idaho and Montana. He also flew Canadians across the border into the U.S. to work as off-leaders and transporters for the drug loads. Rosenau was first contacted by Canadian law enforcement in 2005 as he returned to Canada after delivering a load. In the cockpit of his helicopter, RCMP found a loaded handgun, night vision goggles, two satellite telephones and a GPS device with known landing sites used by marijuana traffickers. Prosecutors had sought a sentence of 15.5 years in prison, calling Rosenau “a man who skirts the law when he believes doing so will benefit him... and who believes dealing with governments is some sort of a game.” Prosecutors wrote that Rosenau “flew for some of the biggest and well-known drug traffickers.”

Sturgis North organizers roar out of Spallumcheen RogeR Knox Morning Star Staff

It’s back to the Shuswap for a summertime music and motorcycle festival. The new president of Sturgis North, Joan Hansen, announced via a news release Wednesday that the 2013 Sturgis North Annual All Make Motorcycle Jamboree and Music Festival has teamed up with the Neskonlith Indian Band to host the 2013 event in the Shuswap in August, as opposed to July. The 2011 festival was held in Salmon Arm and the 2012 event moved to the MotoPlex Speedway and Event Park in Spallumcheen. Sturgis North 2013 will be held on Neskonlith land close to Chase. “Our feedback from our patrons was they really wanted to have water,” said Hansen in a phone interview with the Salmon Arm Observer. “We lost a lot of people to the different lakes. We want to have more of a waterfront location. We want people to have fun and not have to leave.” Hansen did alert the MotoPlex of their plans to move. “They contacted me about the press release and let me know,” said Bob Newcombe, MotoPlex manager. “We’re more of a family entertainment thing out here at the racetrack. It’s

not a big deal to us.” The 2012 event at the speedway included a motorcycle expo along with classic rock acts such as The Stampeders, Nick Gilder and The Guess Who. Newcombe said the Sturgis North five-day festival in mid-July was a success at his facility, despite some issues. “The weather worked against them for a couple of the days,” he said. “And the heavy RCMP presence deterred a lot of people from coming out. People were getting stopped at road blocks from every which angle coming out here.” Newcombe said the MotoPlex and Sturgis North were on good terms when the festival ended. “It was a tough decision,” said Hansen, who replaced Ray Sasseville as Sturgis North president, of leaving Spallumcheen. “The MotoPlex is a great venue. There are still going to be some events at the MotoPlex.” That, however, was news to Newcombe. “Nobody has formally asked me about next year,” he said. “I’m not saying we wouldn’t be open to hosting an event.” The Township of Spallumcheen was surprised to hear of the Sturgis North decision to return to the Shuswap when contacted by The Morning Star Wednesday. “We wish the

Neskonlith Indian Band all the best,” said Coun. Joe Van Tienhoven. “We felt that for the work council did and all the work that the MotoPlex did, it (the festival) wasn’t very much of a benefit to the residents of Spallumcheen. It was a cost to us, not a benefit.” Van Tienhoven clarified the costs had to do with the amount of staff time that went into facilitating meetings

with event officials and community stakeholders. When the event was held in Salmon Arm in 2011, it left a bad taste in the mouths of some businesses. Several were not paid for the services they provided. Hansen vowed to sit down with the creditors and pay off what she called the “legitimate debt.” She contends Sturgis North was overcharged

Vernon RCMP hope to chat with the residents of a Middleton Mountain home about some of the contents found inside. Officers working with BC Hydro officials executed a search warrant in the 1000 block of Mt. Begbie Drive Tuesday. “The search located a Hydro bypass in the residence and just under 900 marijuana plants in various stages of growth,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. Nobody was at thes house at the time the search was done. The house has been posted under the City of Vernon’s drug remediation bylaw, and power has been shut off to the home for safety reasons. The home can’t be lived in or sold until the owner brings it up to code. The file is still under investigation as officers attempt locate the residents of the place.

for many services, pointing out the costs of the 2011 festival were $2.6 million, and dropped to $700,000 in 2012. “That’s a lot of overbilling,” said Hansen. “With that in mind, I think we’ll do fine.” Newcombe said all bills at the MotoPlex were paid. Hansen said Sasseville is no longer involved with Sturgis North.

The RCMP Southeast District’s Major Crimes Unit is investigating the suspicious death of a Lake Country man. Lake Country RCMP were called to a residence with regards to a “man down” complaint on Saturday. The man has since passed away. “At around 12:13 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 3, the Lake Country RCMP and BC Ambulance Services attended a residence in the 9000 block of Highway 97 in response to a report of a “man down” laying by a vehicle at the location,” said Cpl. Dan Moskaluk, RCMP spokesperson. Emergency responders found the man in an unresponsive state in medical distress. The 61-year-old man was transported to Kelowna General Hospital for medical treatment. He died on Tuesday. RCMP investigators advise that anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to call the RCMP at 250-768-2288 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Locals assist with storm recovery

Includes Hand Turbo Tool and Power Nozzle

barb brouwer Black Press

A local company has joined the push to restore power to New York communities that were hit by Hurricane Sandy. Aerial Contractors, an electric utility power line contractor based in Vernon and Salmon Arm, has deployed 15 men, six bucket trucks and three digger derrick units, along with service mechanics, to support the restoration efforts in progress on Long Island and in New Jersey. The local convoy joined an overall B.C. deployment of approximately 90 power lineman and 60 pieces of equipment. After seeing images of the destruction and people affected by the powerful storm, Salmon Arm branch owners Shelley and Bill Dawson had no hesitation in stepping up to help when the call came in. “There’s no borders when it comes to things like this,” Shelley says. The call came Nov. 2, originating from FEMA, the United States Federal Emergency Management Agency under the mutual aid agreement for electric utilities. Shelley said the company’s participation was not confirmed until 7:30 p.m., after which phoning began to get crews mustered for Saturday’s 4 a.m. departure. “We’re very impressed with everyone stepping up to the plate, especially on such short notice,” said Shelley Monday. “It will be a rewarding experience they’ll never forget, something they’ll talk about for the rest of their lives.” “Crews will be working extended shifts in an extremely hazardous environment, as many of the downed lines may still be energized, and access to work sites impacted by flood damage is extremely difficult,” says an Aerial press release.

Shelley Dawson, Aerial Contractors co-owner, talks to a driver heading to New York to help clean up from Hurricane Sandy. Aerial Contractors general manager Glenn Barr says the company’s past experience performing storm repairs in Seattle and Washington State provides them with the necessary approval to work for electric utilities in the United States during major storm events. According to the Long Island Power Authority, there are currently an estimated 7,000 linemen working on Long Island alone, drawn from utilities and contrac-

tors from across the U.S. and Canada. Given the extent of damage and a forecast for more bad weather rolling in midweek, it is unclear when all customers will have power restored or when the Aerial crews will return home. Aerial has operated in Salmon Arm for the past 21 years, putting in power lines on a subcontract basis with BC Hydro, working on commercial sites and highvoltage projects.

Vernon Jubilee Hospital overflowing with patients richard rolke Morning Star Staff

It was cramped quarters for patients Vernon Jubilee Hospital Thursday. At one point, the number of admitted patients reached 193, although there are only 148 funded acute care beds. “We’re always providing good, quality care and when we are this full, it creates another layer of challenge,” said Nancy Serwo, acute area director. “There were some hallway patients but we keep those to a minimum.” There is no clear indication as to why the patient census climbed to such a high level Thursday. “It’s not unusual given flu and heading into winter,” said Serwo. “It’s about our high-

is about 163 patients a day. Among the actions that have been taken to address overcrowding is expanding the alternate level of care unit and considering early discharge of patients. “We are hoping to get some flow and the pressure will ease,” said Serwo. It’s been proposed that two shelled-in floors in the Polson tower be developed for additional acute care

“

Women step forward

Phew.” That was the consensus on most of the Facebook statuses I saw on Wednesday morning. They were, of course, referring to the reelection of Barack Obama in the U.S. presidential election. A collective sigh could be heard across this country — although I’m sure there were a few grunts too. Truth be told, if you were to do a survey on most of the people friended on my Facebook (including many members of my American family,) they tend to state their political views as left leanKristin Froneman ing or moderate. A lot of them also denounce the use of GMO foods. Almost all them wish our PM Stephen Harper would consult with the Canadian people before making trade deals with China. And, I’d say 95 per cent of them would like Enbridge to stick its oil pipeline, well, where the sun don’t shine. This is only, at last count, 331 people’s views. But they are a synopsis that is wide and spread across this country. Another interesting thing is that although many of my friends are of the male variety, the most politically outspoken have the XX chromosome. And that seems to be the trend. If you dared to look south of the border on election night, you would have seen many modern-day suffragettes out in full charge. The result. Obama’s victory was due in large part to female voters, as well as visible minorities and young people. And he showed his appreciation to many of those people when he declared in his victory speech: “It doesn’t matter whether you’re black or white or Hispanic or Asian or Native American or young or old or rich or poor, abled, disabled, gay or straight. You can make it here in America if you’re willing to try.” OK, he left women out of that list, but you gotta give the guy credit, he really knows who his audience is.

The gender gap was also felt between the two candidates: According to news reports, non-married women backed Obama by a 38 percentage-point margin over Mitt Romney. Many attribute this to some Republicans’ stance on reproductive rights for women. Not only did women vote in record numbers, a record number of them were also voted into congress, serving in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. When you look at the numbers, they may not seem all that even: There are now 20 females in the 100-member senate. But if you look at 90 years ago, when the first female appointed to the senate, Rebecca Latimer Felton, only served for one day, and advance that to the past three years, where 17 women were elected and served concurrently in the senate for the first time, there’s been huge progress. Of interest is of the 20 women senators either re-elected or newly elected this past week, 15 of them are Democratic and five are Republican. (Unlike those useless machines in Florida, I actually counted them.) And now that America has been counted for, I think Canadian female politicians are just as willing to stand up and run. According to a somewhat reliable source (OK, Wikipedia), as of 2010, Canada ranked 50th in the world for women’s participation in politics. Women held 23 per cent of the seats in federal, provincial and territorial legislatures. Since the 1921 election of Canada’s first MP, Agnes MacPhail, there are now 76 women serving in the House of Commons. This represents a gain of seven seats over the previous record of 69 women in the last parliament. There are also currently 10 women serving as leaders of political parties at the provincial legislative level, including right here in B.C. with our premier, Christy Clark. Enough statistics. The numbers don’t lie. It won’t be long before you see a female prime minister or president. And won’t that make for an interesting status report on Facebook?

A heart-breaking case that served to shine attention on animal cruelty around the world found closure in a tranquil setting just outside Penticton. Several dozen mourners gathered at the B.C. SPCA pet cemetery in Penticton recently to pay their respects to 56 sled dogs who were killed in Whistler in April 2010. The dogs were shot or had their throats slit as a result of a drop in demand for sled dog tours following the 2010 Olympics. The mass killing launched the largest animal cruelty investigation in B.C. SPCA history, with the former general manager of Howling Dog Tours pleading guilty to causing unnecessary pain and suffering to animals. “We could not save you, but we could be your voice demanding justice for these unspeakable crimes,” the SPCA’s Marcie Moriarty said during the Penticton ceremony. Although incidents like the mass killing are thankfully rare, the suffering and neglect of helpless animals is all too common. And it is these cases where our attention is most needed. “It has opened our eyes to the lack of penalty there is for the abuse that happens to animals. We hope this case in particular will set things in motion to change things,” said Phil Jensen, an SPCA volunteer who travelled from his home in Chilliwack for the memorial service. While Friday was a time to mourn the cruel fate suffered by those 56 dogs, now is the time to focus our efforts on bringing stricter penalties for those found guilty of abuse and pledging our support for programs that provide comfort to animals in distress. Because it is that support that will be the greatest tribute we can give to those 56 dogs who have touched the hearts of so many of us. Black Press

Bill targets unions

ill C-377 requires public financial disclosure for labour organizations. Interestingly, this is the exact situation that applies to professional associations like doctors, lawyers and accountants to name a few, who also pay "union dues" or commonly called 'professional fees. All of these other professional fees or union dues are 100 per cent tax deductible, and are in fact regulated by the same section of the Income Tax Act but they are not affected by bill C-377. So here is the intent to punish the blue collar, middle class, unionized workers but leave the white collar professionals alone. I and all brothers and sisters are given the unions financial statement once a year. These financial statements are audited for us by accountants. This audit not only goes to the membership it is also given to Victoria. We know exactly what our finances are and how our money is made and spent. The transparency that the Conservatives say needs to be addressed is addressed with these financial statements. But that is not what this bill about, but rather it is about disclosing all my union's business, pension plan, welfare plan, education and training trusts, and all other plans and trusts my union maintains.

In a letter to James Rajotte, chairperson of the Standing Committee on Finance, dated Sept. 17, the Canadian Bar Association states: "Re: Bill C-377, Income Tax Act amendments (requirements for labour organizations) "As a threshold statement, it is unclear what issue or perceived problem the bill is intended to address. The bill mandates greater public disclosure of details of the financial operations of labour unions, and limitations on their political and lobbying activities using mechanisms that could be problematic from a constitutional and a privacy perspective. "The CBA Sections have serious reservations about the bill from a procedural point of view. The bill could have a pronounced impact on the operations of labour unions,

nhl lockout NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly, after announcing that the NHL is cancelling games through the end of November, made the following statement: "We remain committed to achieving an agreement that is fair for the players and the clubs — one that will be good for the game and our fans." I understand the first two statements, but am puzzled by the last two. Exactly how is players and owners getting even more money good for the game and for the fans? Are the players going to play that much better, skate that much faster? Good for the fans? Are ticket prices going down? Will we get paid to watch them play on TV? Do we all get a free jersey, or maybe a beer and hot dog on the house? What a nonsensical statement. What is good for the game is that it is played. What is good for the fans

yet these processes are embedded in amendments to the Income Tax Act. In our view, it is inappropriate for operational restrictions to be brought forward as amendments to taxation legislation." The CBA goes on to say: "Federal and provincial labour legislation already imposes obligations on labour unions to publish or make available regular financial statements to their members, and some of those obligations are quite extensive. Labour organizations operate for the benefit of their membership and in this way more closely resemble that of a closed corporation. "The governance and transparency of the organization should be a matter of general concern to its membership, not the public at large. "The additional cost of admin-

is that we get to watch it being played. So stop with the rhetoric, stop with the whining, stop with the selfishness, and get on with playing the game that we love and we pay you to play and have played. Dave Bootsma sports referenDum Apparently the Regional District of North Okanagan's steering committee has budgeted in excess of $25,000 for a communication process to inform the public leading up to the referendum to borrow $8.5 million to fund the proposed track facility encompassing the 10-acre site adjoining Okanagan College. Patrick Nicol, the regional district chairperson, insists the process, "must be transparent." My suspicion is, however, those funds will simply be used to

istration to meet the Bill's requirement would be significant. "Unions could be forced to raise dues or reduce services to their members. If dues are raised, unions may in turn seek higher wages to compensate members, potentially resulting in increased costs for employers. "Finally, the federal government could also be subject to significant new costs to administer its own obligations under the bill." It is ironic that the Conservatives who are all about getting rid of red tape, i.e. gun registration, now want to add another layer of red tape during their governance. This bill will in effect register our unions much like the long-gun registry. There will be a lot of red tape with a lot of civil servants hired to manage the process. Bill C-377 is an anti-union bill that is not about disclosure and transparency but rather its intent is to give the non-union, anti-union, merit contractors a leg up in dealing with construction unions and costs that will be excessive to all unions and their membership. Not to mention the costs to the Canadian taxpayer, who will pay for the thousands of civil servants to scrutinize and audit this information that is already given to all the union's membership. chuck Johnson

convince the public to vote in favour of the financing package without mentioning the irresponsible use of the college site, considering the property's historical significance, strategic and irreplaceable location relative to the current infrastructure and future educational opportunities. On that basis, the process is less than transparent and nothing more than unabashed propaganda positioned at the taxpayers' expense. The issue is not only whether or not it is prudent to borrow $8.5 million in particular during these uncertain times of austerity. The issue also relates to whether or not the proposed location is a sensible use of that land. If, indeed, clarity and transparency are important, then who in this community will fund a balanced opinion in this matter? frank teaporten

slow going With respect to the much anticipated work on Highway 6 in Coldstream: It is interesting to note that it is scheduled to take one year to complete a mile of two-lane blacktop across a pasture. It took one year and 45 days to build the Empire State Building in New York City. I guess they don't build builders like they used to. John lewis

The main goal of the amendments is to protect fish and wildlife habitat from development, but they also focus on floodplains and setbacks for agricultural buildings near waterways. Fairbairn is concerned the rules could be onerous on farmers trying to manage livestock waste. For director Bob Fleming, there is a concern about what is considered a riparian area and he says he knows of a case where a drainage ditch fell under the rules. “I’ve seen problems for someone trying to construct a building,” he said. A public hearing on the proposed changes was held Wednesday, but with the exception of one elected official, no one spoke. “I’m very disappointed with the public hearing. With the number of complaints (about riparian rules), there was no one here to speak out,” said Fairbairn. “There wasn’t the input these regulations deserve. It covers many aspects of our communities.” The regional district has been considering riparian rules since 2006. “We’ve done as much as we can to give property owners flexibility,” said Rob Smailes, general manager of planning and building. Regional district staff will try and address the board’s concerns before adoption of the revised zoning bylaw is considered.

Police target Spallumcheen speeders roger Knox Morning Star Staff

Speeding along a Spallumcheen roadway continues to be an issue. But the RCMP and township are doing what they can to crack down on motorists speeding along Otter Lake Cross Road. “The issue of speeding in the identified 50 km/hour zone has been a problem since the road improvements were made,” wrote Sgt. Dave Evans, rural operations NCO for the Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP detachment, in a two-page report on the problem to Spallumcheen council. “The strip of road is quite unique as it has a higher than normal density of residential properties, it’s a rebuilt smooth and wide section of straight road and is reduced from 70 km/hour to 50 km/hour.”

Evans said his office has treated the area as an enforcement priority, and Spall council has raised concerns following at least four presentations from upset residents who live along the road. In fact, said Evans, his office has treated the area as such a priority that recorded traffic contacts – motorists stopped by police – on the road has doubled from 867 between April and September 2011 to 1,669 contacts in the same time frame this year. Between Sept. 20 and Oct. 12, 2012, police officers wrote 28 violation tickets to speeders and issued 23 warnings. Their busiest stretch came at various times between Sept. 30 to Oct. 4, when they wrote 11 violation tickets and issued nine warnings.

In one 90-minute stretch – 11:35 a.m. to 1:10 p.m. – on Thanksgiving Monday, police ticketed five speeders and gave two warnings. Council has tried to improve the road signs in the area and Evans said talking to local residents gives him the feeling that the signs are having an impact on reducing speeds. “I would encourage you to continue your consideration of engineering and mechanical improvement to assist in resolving the problem,” wrote Evans. Council will have a discussion with Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP Community Policing’s rural programs manager, Warren Smith, about setting up speed reader boards along the roadway when Smith returns from a leave.

There will be a festive spirit on Enderby’s main street 12 months a year.

A local group dedicated to preserving the region’s history is connecting families with lost loved ones around the globe. The Vernon and District Family History Society has undertaken a Monument Inscription Project for 28 years. They started in 1984 by assisting the Friends of History in transcribing the Pleasant Valley cemetery in Vernon. The society has since grown to 147 members, who have recorded 78 cemeteries in the Central Kootenay, Central Okanagan, C olumbi a-Shuswap, North Okanagan and Thompson-Nicola. “We’re primarily focused on family history,” said Keith Gilbert, society president. “If we have someone from Toronto or England or anywhere in the world who is looking for their history we can help them.” That is just what happened recently, when a lady from Finland contacted the society. Her grandfather came to the area in 1924 and was working in a sawmill

He unfortunately died in an accident, which was seldom discussed by his wife. “Eventually the grandchildren started asking questions,” said Gilbert. “We ended up being contacted, our members went up... found out he was buried at Salmon Arm.” The granddaughter flew over and thanks to the society’s help she was able to have a couple visits with her

grandparent. “People find us, we help them out and they donate,” said Gilbert, as the society is a charity and uses donations to further its work. The latest project undertaken by the society has been part of its effort to digitize all records and move away from the stacks of large catalogue books. “We are still trying to complete the Pleasant Valley cemetery which is close to 18,000 buri-

A major step has been taken in scrapping Canada’s controversial long-run registry. All registry information, with the exception of in Quebec, has been destroyed. “The deletion of the long-gun registry records marks a significant milestone in this government’s commitment to eliminating the wasteful and ineffective long-gun registry,” said Colin Mayes, Okanagan-Shuswap MP. “Promise made, promise kept.” Mayes says that law-abiding gun owners will no longer be unfairly targeted and the federal government will continue to focus on tackling crime. “Our government is making our streets and communities safer by targeting criminals who use firearms, not law-abiding Canadians,” he said.

bounces started going our way we would start winning those (one-goal) games.” The Eagles are 7-3 in their last 10 games, and are also riding a three-game win streak. They visit the Salmon Arm SilverBacks tonight at the Shaw Centre. The Smokies are 3-6-0-1 in their last 10. n The SilverBacks have pulled a trio of deals this week. A day after shipping forward Brock Balson to the Penticton Vees in exchange for forward Evan Anderson and defenceman Mitch Ferguson, the ‘Backs sent 20-year-old goaltender Colin Dzijacky to Manitoba’s Woodstock Slammers in exchange for future considerations.

Given props by the Okanagan AA Football Conference for Offensive and Defensive MVP and eight all-stars, the Kalamalka Lakers go into B.C. Place today oozing confidence. The Lakers, who won their conference at 4-0, battle the Robert Bateman Timberwolves of Abbotsford in firstround senior AA varsity action at noon. “We’ve met them three times in the last four years and we’re trying to get our team up to this level,” said Laker head coach and former CFLer Brad Yamaoka. “They’re going to be tough, a typical good Coast team with a good running game, speed and size.” The Lakers took the South Delta Pacers right to the wire in last year’s playoffs, and the Pacers won the Southern Conference at 5-0 this year. “We didn’t really lose anyone from last year and I think South Delta is ranked No. 1 or 2 so we should be able to compete with Bateman.” Kal played an abbreviated league schedule due to the VSS Panthers and Okanagan Mission Huskies dropping out. They split two exhibition games.

Looks like the Vernon Vipers have harnessed their mojo just in time for parents’ weekend. Winners of three straight, and having collected eight of a possible 10 points in their last five B.C. Hockey League games, the resurgent Snakes look primed to impress the folks after a forgettable October. The Vipers (6-7-0-5), who are growing Movember moustaches with varying degrees of success, host the Trail Smoke Eaters (8-12-0-1) tonight at Wesbild Centre. The Surrey Eagles (11-6-0-1) are in town Saturday. “Especially after the last two wins, the guys are feeling pretty confident,” said captain Brett Corkey, who counted a goal and three helpers in Vernon’s 9-2 blowout against the Smokies Saturday night at Cominco Arena. “Having scored a lot of goals in the last game gave a couple of the guys who have been struggling a bit more confidence.” One reason for Vernon’s recent success is secondary scoring. Not only is their top scorer, Adam Tambellini, on fire (he has goals in four straight games), but guys like Corkey, Craig Martin and Jedd Soleway seem to be finding their groove. And with Mitch McAllister and Logan Mick netting their first BCHL goals, it only helps the team’s confidence, said Corkey. “They feel a lot more involved and part of the team when they get those first goals. “Some of the younger guys are really stepping up. TJ (Dumonceaux) has played really well for us as of late. He’s gained a lot of confidence and it’s really evident on the ice.” The only forward yet to score is Braedan Russell, who is just three games back from a two-month injury. Russell, a gritty 6-foot-3, 205-pound winger who played Braedan Russell with his hometown Oakville Blades in Ontario the past few seasons, is thrilled to be back in action. “It was hard to come down here and then be out over 60 days,” said Russell, 19. “It’s a tough climb, but it feels good to be finally be back. “Jason’s (Williamson, head Aaron Hadley coach) been bringing everyone along and it’s nice to come in when everyone is starting to click. “Jason was trying to push us and keep us going and keep our heads up because he knew once

Webb boosts Blues’ attack Morning Star Staff

Captain Cody Webb’s hat trick goal, unassisted, at 4:38 of the third period helped the Vernon Stevenson Mechanical Blues tie the Vernon Sub City Donair Devils 7-7 in North Okanagan Pee Wee House Hockey Super League hockey action Sunday afternoon at the Civic Arena. Blues’ rookie goalie Sam Knox preserved the tie by stopping Devils’ dynamo Finn O’Keefe on three breakaways in the final six minutes. O’Keefe scored the first six goals for Sub City while Chapperon Chillinitzia added the seventh in support of goalie Dalton Stenberg. Reid Lawrence had 2+1 for the Blues while Jaden Stone and Kael Black added singles. The host Winfield Canadian 2-For-1 Pizza Bruins scored three goals in the first 11 minutes and hung on to beat the Blues 5-3 Saturday afternoon. Blues’ goalie Dylan Blazek made several highlight-reel stops, including an enormous second-period glove save that robbed Brendan Moore of a sure goal to keep the Blues close. Lawrence scored shorthanded for the Blues, who trailed 4-1 with 16 minutes remaining. Goals from Webb and Lawrence 31 seconds apart midway through the final frame pulled Vernon to within one before Moore scored on a goalmouth scramble with 93 seconds left to play.

The Butcher Boys Titans iced the Sicamous Predators 7-0 in other Pee Wee play Sunday afternoon at Priest Valley Arena. Caenan Wisse and Nick Maglio shared the shutout.

Vernon’s Brad Kuhn shares a few tips with avid student Sandra Chester during a skills clinic Sunday at the Vernon Curling Club.

Timber trip up Cotter Morning Star Staff

Robbi Kuhn’s North Enderby Timber counted deuces in three straight ends to upend Jim Cotter’s Woodland Equipment 7-4 in Baron Insurance Super League action Wednesday night at the Vernon Curling Club. After blanking one, Kuhn, now 2-4, drew to the button for a single in two. Cotter (4-1) took advantage of some NET misses in three to collect a triple, and followed that with a single steal in four. Kuhn cracked a couple of tough doubles for deuces in five and six, and recorded another steal of two in seven. Darrell (Heavy D) Houston’s Nufloors escaped with a 7-5 win over

Sherry Heath’s De Vine Vintners. Back-and-forth play had the rinks knotted 3-3 after four ends. Nufloors (4-2) pulled ahead with two points in five, but the Vintners (1-5) stormed back with a single in six, and single steal in seven. Facing more guards than Guantanamo Bay in eight, Houston went wide with his final stone, catching a late curl to bite the four-foot for the win. Dave Merklinger’s Canwest Propane needed just five ends to stop Mark Longworth’s Sladen Moore 8-1. Canwest (6-0) burgled a pair in the first end, allowed a single in the second, and then counted six points over the next three ends to secure the win. Sladen Moore dipped to 1-4.

Kapak clocks B.C. records Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s Connie Kapak and Kelowna’s Chris Neykov, skating out of the Okanagan Regional Training Centre, in Kelowna, swept their divisions at an interclub speed skating meet Saturday in Abbotsford. Kapak topped the 13-year-old female class, while Neykov won the 16-year-old male category,. Kapak broke another two B.C. records and finished ahead of numerous top-ranked older skaters, as well as dominating her age class. The B.C. Winter Games star leaves today for a 10-day event in Calgary, which includes a short track meet, followed by a pre-competition camp leading up to the four-day Can Am

competition at the Olympic Oval. “These type of events become necessary as she becomes older, in order to qualify for the premier competitions," said Connie’s father, Pete. “Akbal Mund (Wendy’s Reataurants) is presently seeking a sponsor for such excursions. The month of November requires 12 nights in motels, plus travel, more than a one-parent family can budget for. “We are going to Prince George at the end of the month, plus Fort St. John and Winnipeg (Canadian long track), among future competitions.” A fundraiser, at Boston Pizza, as last year, is presently being planned.

The Kelowna Rockets grounded the Edmonton Oil Kings 3-2 for their fourth straight Western Hockey League win Wednesday night at Prospera Place. S i x t e e n - y e a r- o l d rookie Rourke Chartier scored the winner in front of 5,000 fans, ripping a wrist shot into the top corner three minutes into the third period, his fifth of the season. Kelowna keeper Jackson Whistle earned his second straight win, making 25 saves, including three frantic ones in final seconds. Vernon’s Curtis Lazar, a 17-year-old centre with the 11-5-12 Kings, assisted on the game’s opening goal by Stephen Shmoorkoff at 4:38. Lazar has eight goals and five assists through 19 games. The win improved the Rockets to 11-6-11. They are second in the B.C. Division behind the league-leading Kamloops Blazers (172-0-1). Tyson Baillie and Henrik Nyberg had the other goals for Kelowna, while Travis Ewanyk had the other Edmonton tally. Kelowna hosts the Red Deer Rebels on Saturday night at Prospera.

Pair combine to create African writing system Morning Star Staff

Fourth-year University of B.C.

By first creating an alphabet, and consequently a fully-functional writing system, Giffen and Yakong hope people in the

Nabdam district in Northern Ghana will have better access to essential services of education, health care, and government. All are currently delivered in a language not fully understood by most Nabit speakers, which limits their ability to influence those essential services. “Within Ghana, there are 79 recognized languages, not including dialects.

rural Ghana. “Vida and I started the project by recording the language of Nabit -- using words specific to the villages -- and then analyzing the individual sounds to create an orthography,” says Giffen. “Nabit speakers hope to learn both written Nabit and English, so it was beneficial for the writing systems to be similar. However, for sounds that were unique to Nabit, we explored options from other languages.” “For the Nabitspeaking people, literacy means pride and security,” adds Yakong. “It would mean the preservation of culture and history, and it would mean a greater ability to control and influence essential services and government.” The 52-letter alphabet, along with a writing tool and guide, will soon be sent to community elders and leaders in the Nabdam district for their review and feedback. The idea for Giffen’s URA project was sparked by doctoral research by Cindy Bourne, a PhD candidate in the Faculty of Education, who -- through her work with Project GROW and research on adult literacy in Northern Ghana -- identified

the desire and need for a writing system for Nabit. Although Giffen’s project is now complete, the work in preserving the Nabit language will develop and expand as Bourne continues with research on how best adult literacy programs can be implemented in Nabit speaking communities. About 45 per cent of the population of Ghana, ages 15 and older, are illiterate. Nabit-speaking women often use their fingerprint to sign documents, considered degrading, as their ink-stained fingers also mark their illiteracy. And students are educated in either English or Gurene -two languages that a Nabit-speaker does not understand. Both children and adults who learn to read and write in their mother tongue have an easier time learning English than those who are not educated in their first language. “The establishment of a writing system is essential,” said Giffen. “It is an important tool to help empower both women and men, not only because they will able to sign their own name, but they’ll be able to read and write, a skill that should be considered a human right.”

Banff is back with more beautiful, crazy adventure Vernon Search and Rescue hosts 21st annual fundraiser with the best from Banff Mountain Film Festival

Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

As anyone who has ever been to the Banff Mountain Film Festival, or to any B.C. ski resort, can attest, Australians are crazy –– for adventure, that is. Following in the tradition of John Muir, who made history by becoming the first person to walk across the continent of Australia without resupply or any external support (as seen in the 2004 Best Film on Mountain Environment at the Banff Festival), fellow Aussie adventurers James “Cas” Castrission and Justin “Jonesy” Jones dared to tackle their own perilous journey –– this time across a frozen land. They traversed across Antarctica to the South Pole and back again, completely unassisted. Yes, crazy. Their efforts have been captured in the film Crossing the Ice, the Grand Prize winner at this year’s Banff Mountain Film Festival, which was held last weekend in the Albertan city. It’s about to make its way to Vernon as part of the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour, the 21st annual fundraiser

Courtesy of the Banff Centre

Australian adventurers/filmmakers James Castrission and Justin Jones cross Antarctica unassisted in the film Crossing the Ice, to be shown as part of the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour lineup in Vernon on Monday. for Vernon Search and Rescue. The film will screen among others chosen by the Search and Rescue committee Monday at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. Vernon Search and Rescue volunteer and coordinator of this year’s Best of Banff, Nikki Sims attended the Banff festival on the weekend and was there when Jones picked up the big prize, as well as Best Film on Exploration and Adventure, and the People’s Choice at the awards ceremony.

(Castrission was at home where he and his wife are expecting their first child.) “I asked Jonesy ‘so I’ll ask you what everyone must be asking you... What next?,’” said Sims. “He gave me a big grin and said ‘something great, but waiting to hear about funding and licenses, but rest assured it will be fantastic!’ I laughed and said ‘you two are amazing and very inspirational,’ then he said ‘can you please tell my mom that!’”

Crossing the Ice features the two Australians dragging their food and shelter across 1,140 kilometres of barren ice, a journey that many have tried, and all have failed until now. After arriving to tackle one of the last great Antarctic odysseys, the men discover an eerie similarity to Captain Scott’s race to the South Pole: There’s a Norwegian on the ice. He’s more experienced, he’s tackling the same record, and he has a head start. To prepare for their journey,

Jones and Castrission trained for a month on Baffin Island and said there is “no cold like Baffin Island cold,” said Sims, adding “They really are just two regulars guys from Australia.” Along with Crossing the Ice, the Best of Banff screening will feature this year’s winner for Best Film on Climbing, Reel Rock 7: Honnold 3.0 Directed and produced by Josh Lowell, Peter Mortimer, Nick Rosen and Alex Lowther, the American film follows Alex Honnold, known as the boldest soloist of his generation, as he prepares both physically and mentally for his biggest adventure yet – the Yosemite Triple. A special edit of a South African film will also be part of the lineup. 5 Races, 5 Continents, directed by Dean Leslie, is a look into the joy, pain, transformation, and inspiration found in running mountain races around the world. And audiences can expect even more adventure, with a new batch of films from the Banff festival. (Two other screenings return to the VPAC on Dec. 29 and 30.) As in the past, the Banff world tour aids the non-profit, 60-strong volunteer Vernon Search and Rescue unit with acquisition of capital equipment, including ATVs, snow machines, boats, and trucks and for all-important training upgrades. Tickets for Monday’s screening at 7 p.m. are $20, and are available at the Ticket Seller box office in the VPAC or call 250-549-7469, or order online at www.ticketseller.ca.

Bully one of the films to be shown at Vernon Fall Film Festival Morning Star Staff

It’s a film that had an R-rated beginning because of profanity, but it’s still a film that every kid and their parents should see. One of the films being shown at the Vernon Towne Cinema as part of the Vernon Film Society’s 10th annual Fall Film Festival this coming week is Bully, a documentary that follows five children and their families over the course of a school year. The film confronts bullying’s most tragic outcomes, including the stories of two families who have lost children to suicide, and a mother who waits to learn the fate of her 14-year-old daugh-

ter, incarcerated after bringing a gun on her school bus. With rare access to Iowa’s Sioux City Community School District, the film also gives an intimate glimpse into school busses, classrooms, cafeterias and even principles’ offices, offering insight into the often-cruel world of children, as teachers, administrators and parents struggle to find answers. After some controversy about the film’s rating when it was first released, Bully received a PG rating in B.C. in March. The film, which contains coarse language, will be shown at the Vernon Towne Cinema on Thursday, Nov. 15 at

5:15 p.m. With films supplied by the Film Circuit, the outreach program out of the Toronto International Film Society, the Fall Film Festival starts this Monday at 5:15 p.m. with Canadian film, The Stories We Tell. In the film, Oscar nominated director Sarah Polley (Away from Her) directs and investigates the secrets behind a family of storytellers. It will be followed by Italian film, The Salt of Life (Monday at 7:30 p.m.), about a middle-aged retiree who tries to fit in with his younger, and sexier, counterparts while navigating the cobblestone streets of Rome.

Gadjology plays in ‘manouche’ style for local shows You just can’t find the word Gadjology in the dictionary... and it’s just as well. The self-given name

for the North Okanagan/ Shuswap/Revelstokebased quartet, Gadjology is more of a phenomenon to be experienced than a

word to be described. For one thing it’s hard to witness Gadjology without stomping your feet and clapping along to the music they play. And what the band plays so passionately well is gypsy jazz. Featuring Jacob Verberg on lead guitar, violinist Richard Owings, rhythm guitarist Willy Gaw and standup bassist Bill Lockie, the musicians are known for their fast and furious “manouche” style. “The band members play with such precision

and seeming ease that while you’re infused with adrenaline and heightened heartbeat while listening, you’ll also find yourself strangely lulled into a hypnotic state by the sheer wizardry of the musicianship at work,” reads the band’s press. Meaning “gypsy” in French, manouche originates from the 1930s and 1940s and is attributed to the legendary Belgian guitarist and composer Django Reinhardt. Derived by combining a dark gypsy flavour with the contemporary

swing jazz music of the period, the style went into relative obscurity in the decades after the ‘50s, but has been enjoying a lively resurgence beginning in the 1970s in Europe and following suit in North America a decade or so later. The movement continues to grow steadily stronger and more popular to date. When taken apart, the music may be complex and mind bending, but watching Gadjology you wouldn’t know it.

Festival has thought provoking films all next week

Continued from page B1

American documentary, First Position (Tuesday at 5:15 p.m.), which won audience awards at the Dallas and Portland International Film Festivals, follows the physical intensity and passion of young dancers taking part in the Youth America Grand Prix, one of the world’s most prestigious ballet competitions. Indo-Canadian filmmaker Deepa Mehta returns to her country of birth for the film, Midnight’s Children (Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.). Based on the Booker Prize winning novel by Salman Rushdie, the film is set on the day India broke away from the British regime, and follows two newborn babies who are switched by a nurse in a Bombay hospital. India is also the setting for Canadian documentary, The World Before Her (Wednesday at 5:15 p.m.), winner of Best

Canadian Feature at the 2012 Hot Docs festival and Best Documentary at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival. The film follows 20 young women from across India who take part in an intense, month-long beauty boot camp to prepare them for the Miss India pageant and contrasts it with another camp for young girls, run by a militant fundamental-

ist movement, to learn what it means to be a good Hindu. Based on the Norwegian bestseller Hodejegerne by Jo Nesbø, Headhunters (Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.) follows a successful headhunter for Fortune 500 inductees who lives in an opulent modern home, has a wife and mistress, but has a crippling Napoleon complex that forces him into a life

of crime. The festival wraps up with the story of China’s most famous and outspoken artist, Ai Weiwei, in Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry (Thursday at 7:30 p.m.) Winner of the special jury prize at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, Beijing-based journalist and filmmaker Alison Klayman gained unprecedented access to Ai Weiwei following

his artistic process in preparation for major museum exhibitions, his intimate exchanges with family members, and his increasingly public clashes with the Chinese government. Tickets to all films are $7 each or $30 for a fivefilm pass, available at the Bean Scene or the Vernon Towne Cinema. For more information, visit www.vernonfilmsociety.bc.ca

With the amount of hip hop and EDM (electronic dance music) shows that have been coming to town as of late, there is one demographic being left out, because they can’t get in the door. Vernon DJ/producer Genocyde (real name Max Burke) wants to change that. He has come up with a 16-plus age event called Masquerave, which celebrates the music, but leaves out the drug connotation that can accompany such events. What started as an event page on Facebook for a Halloween party has now turned into a secured event, which is welcoming people from as far and wide as Williams Lake and Vanderhoof to the Vernon Recreation Centre auditorium on Saturday. The event was originally going to be an outdoor party because of the response that was initially received after it was posted on Facebook, with 300 hits on the second day, said Genocyde.

“We asked if everyone going would theme, and the name just fit. donate a minimum of $5 to help us “The name Masquerave is not to rent a generator, lights, sound and be confused with a drug-induced build some sort of stage,” he said. “By dance party. We want everyone to day three, the number had grown to come enjoy the night, respect the over 500 and that’s when my mom venue and everyone inside it so we said something like ‘I can’t believe all can do this every couple of months.” these kids are going to drive to some At 19, Genocyde (who says he remote area just to hear you all play. uses that name because he wants The roads are treacherous and there to cause destruction on the dance will surely be alcohol and drugs con- floor with the power of his music, sumed.

Crafting for Christmas Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff

As a young girl in Austria, Lorie Schenk developed a passion for knitting and sewing. It’s a passion that continues to this day, more than 50 years after she moved to Vernon. Joanne Bradley also discovered the joys of working with yarn as a youngster in Vancouver, where her mother got her started on what has become a lifelong hobby. “I started knitting in my late teens,” said Bradley. “My mother was a very talented knitter and crocheter and so she would help me with fixing my mistakes, which usually involved ripping everything out and starting again to make sure it was right.” Growing up near Linz, Austria, Schenk was still in Grade 1 when she was taught how to crochet. By Grade 4, she and her classmates were making socks. “And in Grade 5, we had to sew our own shorts for PE.” The owner of Lorie’s Hobby and Yarn from 1977 to 1991, Schenk is also the former owner of Harris Flowers. She is looking forward to taking part in Vernon Presents, after getting a taste of selling her wares a few times this summer when she shared a booth with Bradley at the Vernon Farmers’ Market. A longtime member of the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Auxiliary, Schenk has made and donated many items for the hospital gift shop. “It’s just something I really enjoy,” she said. Friends for many years, Schenk and Bradley are taking their love of working with textiles and yarn to this year’s Vernon Presents A Festival of Crafts, taking place Nov. 16 and 17 at Wesbild Centre. There, they will share a booth to offer their wares, which for Schenk includes everything from a hand-knit Lambchop, the puppet made famous by Shari Lewis, and colourful aprons, to whimsical Christmas tree decorations. Bradley will be selling her popular NHL-themed sweaters featuring Canucks and Flames logos, as well as beautiful hand-knit dresses and bonnets for infants, and cozy cocoons for dolls. “I started making the sweaters for my grandkids in Alberta,” said Bradley, who is doing the Vernon Presents show for the first time, as is Schenk. “Lorie is very talented, she does the most beautiful quilts, and I’ve been doing this kind of thing for as long as I can remember. “It’s just that creative instinct and I give so much away that I figured it would be

Bradley’s connection to Canada’s national sport has also brought her in close contact with hockey royalty Gordie Howe and Wayne Gretzky. Howe had come to Vernon and was playing golf at Vernon Golf and Country Club, where Bradley and Schenk used to play regularly. “I attempted to knit a sweater with a Detroit Red Wings design as a gift and sent it to him and I received a lovely card of thanks from his wife,” she said. Along with the card of thanks was enclosed a photo of Howe and Gretzky, signed by both players, and which is now framed with the thank you card, in which Howe’s wife, Colleen, mentions that the couple’s grandson, Gordie Jr., would be wearing the sweater. “It is great to make something and know it is appreciated,” said Bradley. It was at the encouragement of Vernon Presents creator, organizer and fellow crafter Olive Dent that brought the two

friends to the show. “Olive had a booth next to me at the farmers’ market this year and asked if we’d like to do the Christmas show,” said Bradley. “There are so many talented crafters at the Vernon Farmers’ Market, each making amazing creations, and it’s a great place to meet on a beautiful summer day and sit for a drink of lemonade, shop for the finest fruit and vegetables, home made bread, and enjoy the art of all of the crafters.” The 12th Annual Vernon Presents A Festival of Crafts takes place Nov. 16 from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Nov. 17 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., at Wesbild Centre. The show features many artisans selling their wares. As well, the show supports the North Okanagan Hospice Society by donating $1 from each $3 admission charged. There is no charge for children under 12. “This is an excellent opportunity to get started on your Christmas shopping and support quality end-of-life care for all in the North Okanagan,” said Valerie Blundell, financial assistant for the North Okanagan Hospice Society.

Read between the lives

ear Annie: My boyfriend lives with a woman who gave birth to his child. He says it is not a romantic arrangement. She wanted to get pregnant, and he provided the genetic material. He sleeps on the sofa. My issue is, when he wants to spend time with this kid, the mother must always be present. She also isn’t aware that he is dating me, and we’ve been together for two years. He is divorced, and his Kathy mitchell & marcy sugar ex-wife and other children don’t know about this child. He expects me to keep his secret, stay away from the birth mother and be fine with all of this — even when overnight trips are planned. I will never be fine with this. He says I should trust him. But, Annie, I just can’t wrap my head around why I should blindly accept this. Am I wrong? — Third Wheel Dear Third: Your boyfriend is juggling three separate lives: one with you, one with his ex-wife and children, and another with his “secret” child and the biological mother. We can think of no good reason for this man to be living with another woman unless he has made a commitment to her

in addition to his child. He can support the child emotionally and financially without sleeping on her sofa. It is not your place to inform his ex-wife or his other children about his arrangement. However, we think he is having a romantic relationship with the woman he lives with, and you are his sideline. What you do about that is up to you. Dear Annie: I am 17 years old, and I have a younger sister who is 13. Her attitude is awful. I have to drive her to school every day, and we always get into fights. She constantly criticizes my driving and puts me down. She also calls me a lot of names and says hurtful things. We even got into a physical fight. I’ve told my parents that she is rude and I am not inclined to do anything for her. But my parents won’t get involved. They never punish her, and she gets away with everything. In fact, they just bought her a new computer. I don’t know what to do anymore. I can’t wait until I leave for college and won’t have to deal with her. Is that wrong? What should I do? — Frustrated Sister Dear Frustrated: We understand that your little sister is driving you nuts. This is not uncommon with younger siblings. We suggest you be the adult. Don’t let her ruffle you. Ignore her barbs and criticisms, which are intended to provoke a response and get your attention. When you need to vent, talk to your school counselor, best friend, favourite teacher or a sympathetic relative. But please remember that when your sister outgrows this immature stage, she could become your closest friend. Hang in there.

Provincial advocates trumpet Washington state vote jeff nagel Black Press

B.C. pot reform advocates are celebrating Washington state’s historic vote Tuesday to legalize and tax marijuana, saying it adds momentum to their campaign for change here. Initiative 502 passed

with 56 per cent of the vote in favour, making Washington the first U.S. state to legalize possession of up to an ounce of marijuana by adults, along with Colorado, where a similar vote also passed. “American voters are now ahead of Canadian governments on the

cannabis file,” said former B.C. attorney general Geoff Plant, a highprofile reformer with the Stop the Violence coalition. “It helps advance the argument for legalization here in B.C..” It’s still unclear if the U.S. federal government will allow the state to carry out the plan to license marijuana production and tax its sale in authorized stores. But observers here say the implications are huge for both the existing B.C. bud industry and the intensifying debate on drug policy reform. Rob Gordon, director of SFU’s school of criminology, says it could spur a more serious consideration of legalization both in B.C. and in other U.S. states if “the sky doesn’t fall” in Washington and the state starts reaping a windfall of weed revenue. “The dominoes could start toppling,” he said. Washington esti-

mates it would collect $560 million in the first year from a planned 25 per cent tax the sale of licensed, regulated marijuana through authorized stores. “Whether or not their federal government is going to tolerate this remains to be seen,” Gordon said. If pot possession and sales is allowed in Washington State, Gordon expects a partial collapse of B.C.’s estimated $7-billion a year illegal pot indus-

try as growers relocate their operations south of the border to avoid the need to smuggle. “The operations in B.C. would shrink considerably – they’d be focused entirely on patchy local consumption,” he said. “It’s a huge step forward,” said B.C. marijuana activist Dana Larsen, who’s heads the Sensible BC campaign to force a provincial referendum on pot decriminalization using the Recall and Initiative Act.

As with the campaign to defeat the HST, volunteers will have 90 days in the fall of 2014 to get thousands of signatures from every riding of the province to trigger a referendum. If it passed, the Legislature would have to vote on Larsen’s proposed Sensible Policing Act, which would order an end to police enforcement of simple cannabis possession. Premier Christy Clark and NDP leader Adrian Dix both say marijuana

reform is up to the federal government and the prime minister has said the Conservatives won’t loosen Canada’s drug laws. But Larsen argues Ottawa could, if pressured enough, exempt B.C. from federal narcotics laws to enable a regulated and taxed marijuana experiment here. He said legal pot in Washington will help end the argument that the U.S. may “retaliate or freak out” if B.C. reforms its drug laws.

Washington State voters have supported legalizing and taxing marijuana.

B.C. political leaders should stop pointing fingers at Ottawa and follow the lead of U.S. states on marijuana legalization, says Vancouver-Fraserview MLA Kash Heed. A former B.C. public safety minister and commanding officer of the Vancouver Police drug and gang units, Heed spoke out as voters in Washington and Colorado voted to regulate and tax the sale of marijuana for adults. Heed said Premier Christy Clark and NDP leader Adrian Dix have no difficulty speaking out about federally regulated interprovincial pipelines,

but both defer to the federal jurisdiction on marijuana law. Action is needed to address the gang violence that goes along with the marijuana trade, he said. “There’s a lot of hypocrisy going around Victoria right now,” Heed said in an interview. “They’re speaking out of both sides of their mouths on different issues.” Both Clark and Dix have admitted to trying marijuana in their younger days, but both have indicated this year that they don’t plan to push for legalization. Dix said last week he has long advocated decriminalization, which would reduce

simple possession to a ticket offence. He said Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s measure to require jail time for growing more than six plants is the wrong direction, but B.C. can’t consider regulating and taxing sale until federal law allows it. A new Angus Reid poll commissioned by a pro-legalization group called Stop the Violence B.C. shows support for legalization is up to 75 per cent. That’s up six per cent from last year, and Heed has joined former attorneys general, doctors, police officers and others who have called for action. Heed said the same arguments were used when he

joined the push for a supervised injection site in Vancouver. Provincial and local governments lobbied the federal government to allow pilot projects for the INSITE clinic, and provided funding as well, he said. Heed said he has studied the results of 17 U.S. states that allow medical marijuana exemptions and 14 others that have tried decriminalization. “The problem with that is there’s still a black market in the production and distribution of marijuana,” he said. “And if you don’t get rid of that black market, the gangsters are still going to be involved in it, and we’ll still have the violence on our streets.”

Bridge by Phillip Alder WEIRD BIDDING AND WEIRDER PLAY Steven Wright, the weird comedian, said, “Is it weird in here, or is it just me?” Is it weird in this deal, or is it just me? It isn’t just me -- this deal features some weird bidding and weird play. How do you think the auction should have gone? And once South is stuck in three no-trump, what should he do after West leads the spade jack to declarer’s king? In the given auction, West made a weak jump overcall, showing 5 to 10 high-card points and a sixcard suit that would usually be stronger than the one held. North made a negative double. This was not without

risk, but he had to do something with nine points. Then South, who was stuck for a useful forcing bid, shut his eyes and leapt to three no-trump. South might have opened two clubs. Presumably West would have overcalled two spades, North would have responded three hearts, South would have rebid four diamonds, North would have raised to five diamonds, and South would have guessed whether to pass or to raise. However, here South is in three no-trump. How can he make that? Even looking at all 52 cards, it is not obvious. Do you see the answer? South cannot play on diamonds, because West gets his long suit established first, taking four spades and

two diamonds. The solution is to play a heart to dummy’s ace and continue with the heart queen, discarding declarer’s remaining spade! If East plays a spade, South gets two spades, four hearts and three clubs. If the defenders abandon spades, declarer has time to set up the diamonds.

Thomas Barry Holmes June 10th, 1942 – Oct 30th, 2012 It is with great sadness that we announce Tom’s passing, after a brave battle with cancer. With his head held high, he has departed from this world to be with his mother (Inez), his father (Stuart), and older brother (James). Tom was born in Regina, and grew up in Herbert, Saskatchewan. He had a very active childhood, and excelled at curling at a young age. He moved to Alberta, then BC in his 20’s and became a successful, focused businessman and entrepreneur. After spending a few years in the lower mainland, he moved to the interior and settled in Kelowna with his family. Later in life, he called Vernon home. Tom was a man who lived life to the fullest, and by his own rules. He was dearly loved and admired by his many friends and family. Tom was quick to smile, and had an infectious laugh. He had many interests that included Àying, boating and gardening. Tom realized a childhood dream when he gained his private pilot’s licence and Àew safely to many far off places. He was also an avid ¿sherman and loved spending time in the outdoors. He really enMoyed dancing with the love of his life, Roseanne. Tom is survived by his loving wife Roseanne, his son Stuart (Lana), his grand daughter Aria, his sisters Jeanne and Wendy ('an), and his brother Ronald (Sylvia). There will be a memorial service to celebrate Tom’s life at the Schubert Centre ( 0 0th Avenue, Vernon) at 3pm on Saturday, November 10th. In lieu of Àowers, please consider a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Suzanne was born February 21, 1952 in Kimberley, B.C. Suzanne loved the ocean, she fondly referred to it as “Her Happy Place”. Having always been a very creative person with a wonderful imagination she loved to walk the ocean shores gathering seashells and driftwood that she put to use in her many arts and crafts. Gardening was another of her many passions. Suzanne is survived by her husband Robert, her son Jesse (Amber) Gervais, her mother Pat Sims, brothers Brian (Toni) Sims, Reg (Carolyn) Sims, sisters Judy Grant, Kelly Price, Brenda (Kent) Burt and Tammy Sims. She is further survived by many nieces and nephews and extended family members. Suzanne was predeceased by her father Buzz Sims and her beloved dog Shadow.

FRANZ WALTER MUSIL October 2, 1923 November 2, 2012

At his request, no service will be held. Frank passed from life peacefully at Hospice House. Survived by his wife, Hilda and his loving family, sons Frank (Susan), Michael (Joanne), daughters Elisabeth (Jari), Susie (Nick), seven grandchildren and four great grandchildren. Dad was born in Graz, Austria and immigrated to Canada with his wife and two children in 1954. He lived in Vancouver until moving to the Okanagan in 1980, developing a large network of friends due to his generous and kind nature. This was evident in his final days as many came to say goodbye. He will be missed by his friends at Carrington Court, the Edelweiss Club and the Austria Vancouver Club. Many enjoyed his baking during special occasions, when he prepared dozens of gingerbread hearts and Christmas houses in his tiny apartment. This small bakery is now closed. Memorial donations in Frank’s name may be made to the North Okanagan Hospice Society. Arrangements entrusted to FISCHER’S FUNERAL SERVICES & CREMATORIUM LTD., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129.

Murray John Ayton Our Dad passed peacefully into the arms of Jesus, surrounded by his family, at the stroke of midnight, Nov. 5, 2012. Murray leaves behind his wife, Arleen, of 45 years, four children, and five grandchildren. Murray was the youngest of three boys born to Bill and Edith Ayton, May 15, 1934, in Brandon, Manitoba. After some pretty rough years, through the depression, on the Prairies, at the age of 7 years old, Murray’s family moved West to BC, to start a new life in the big city of Vancouver. Murray did not have great interest in school, so at age fifteen he dropped out and went to a trade school where he apprenticed as a baker. This would determine the majority of his working life. At seventeen years old the spirit of adventure caught Murray and he hitch-hiked across Canada, USA and Mexico for nearly one year. Upon his return in 1953 at nineteen years of age, Murray opened his first bakery with his parents in Vancouver and called it Murray’s Bakery. Due to its success, contractors made an offer he couldn’t refuse to open yet another bakery in Maple Ridge. In 1964 the second one was opened and also became successful. During this time Murray was taking ballroom dancing lessons and thus became known as the Dancing Baker. At the end of twelve successful years in Vancouver, Mr and Mrs Ayton sold the bakery and joined forces again with Murray in Maple Ridge. At around the same time a young, shy cake decorator named Arleen Ann Franson came to work for Murray. In 1967 she became his wife and business partner. The two built on the existing business and catered to the likes of Chief Dan George, and Margaret Sinclair. Besides a business they also built a home and a family together in Whonneck. After twenty-three years of bakery life and four kids later, Murray sold his second bakery and took some time off. His next endeavours included school bus driving and driving for the Herald E. Johnson Center. In 1981 tired of the rain, Murray and Arleen moved their family to Armstrong. After many more years of bakery life in the valley, Murray and Arleen once again left the business and ended up with their own Janitorial business. Due to health issues Murray retired at the age of sixty-five. He always enjoyed living in the country where it was much more peaceful and private. He loved all things country and western and watching westerns on TV. His favorite actor was John Wayne. In addition to his love for horses, he enjoyed boxing and dancing having participated in them in his younger years. He also loved collecting such as movies, recipes, books and bears. He loved adventure and would live vicariously through his kids’ travels. He will always be remembered for his grand stories and his loud belly laughs. A memorial service will be held on Sunday, Nov 11, 2012 at 2:00pm at Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services (2980 Smith Dr, Armstrong, BC). Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family at www.MyAlternatives.ca.
