A Vernon politician warns that bureaucracy could throw cultural plans off course. Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe told her colleagues Tuesday that she is concerned that the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee has delayed a decision on whether an April referendum will be held on borrowing funds for both a museum and an art gallery. “We make groups jump a lot of hoops with not a lot of leadership by politicians being shown,” she said. After presentations from both the gallery and museum last week, the GVAC board asked staff to present a report on costs — possibly upwards Mary-Jo O’Keefe of $17 million —and the legislative process for its Dec. 6 meeting. If GVAC makes a decision then, it would have to be ratified by the Regional District of North Okanagan board, likely in January. O’Keefe says that may leave insufficient time to meet requirements for a spring referendum. “Are we being fair to them and giving them enough time to get their votes together?” she said. However, Coun. Juliette Cunningham says representatives from the art gallery and museum were told a year ago they would have to go to GVAC because that agency oversees cultural matters locally. “They only went to GVAC last week. I’m surprised they didn’t go sooner,” she said. Cunningham also pointed out that it’s still unknown whether a museum and gallery would be in a single building or in separate structures. “There’s a lot we have to sort out,” she said. Coun. Catherine Lord insists the city must play a role and can’t simply pass the process off to GVAC. “We represent the largest majority at GVAC. If someone is going to champion this, it has to come from here,” she said. Ultimately, council opted to set aside part of its Nov. 26 agenda to consider cultural facilities further. “We can have a discussion on what Vernon’s position should be,” said Coun. Bob Spiers.

Dueck lands spot as top adventurer ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A backflip into history is gaining Josh Dueck further notoriety and admiration. The Vernon Paralympian, who became the first paraplegic skier to land a backflip at Whistler in February, has been named one of 10 National Geographic magazine adventurers of the year. The 10 are now in the magazine’s online voting contest for the People’s Choice winner for adventurer of the year. “I was stunned when I first got the e-mail from Fitz Cahall (radio host of the Dirtbag Diaries), who sits on the board of National Geographic Adventurer of the Year, saying I was a finalist,” said Dueck. “You can feel his excitement through his written word. I couldn’t believe it.” The back-flip came about when Dueck was in Colorado last December at Copper Mountain for some early-season ski races. On a day off, he decided to hop into the mountain’s onsite foam pit to give a back-flip a shot. “There were a few people there who were experts in aerials, they helped me understand what I needed to do to make the backflip a success on snow,” said Dueck. “We discussed the particulars, the measurements and height of the jump, the degree at takeoff. That gave me the confidence and trust that it would be possible to do the flip on snow.” Back at Whistler, Dueck rehearsed the flip landing on an airbag. Now it was time to make history on the powder. Except Mother Nature wouldn’t cooperate at first. “There were a few things that got in the way, too much snow, too much fog,” said Dueck. “On a few occasions, we all agreed it wasn’t a safe idea so we left.” Finally, on Feb. 3, 2012, at Powder Mountain in Whistler, conditions for the historic jump were ideal. As he had been in rehearsals, Dueck was in complete control and landed his backflip not into an airbag, but on the snow.
CHAD SPECTOR PHOTO
Paralympian Josh Dueck has earned a spot in the top 10 National Geographic adventurer of the year category and needs the community’s help to move up to No. 1. The moment was captured on video and splashed on YouTube – it has garnered more than 800,000 views – and the flip landed Dueck a spot on the Ellen DeGeneres talk show. Now, he finds himself with nine others competing for a chance to be named the year’s top adventurer by a worldclass magazine. “Winning the People’s Choice award opens you up to an invitation to do more work with National Geographic, it’s pretty prestigious,” said Dueck. “Oh, yea, I’m pretty stoked. The nomination itself is an incredible gesture, a great compliment. I’m thrilled.” Dueck is the only Canadian amongst the 10 finalists, which include Britain’s Lizzy Hawker (ultra runner), Chile’s
Ramon Navarro (surfer), Austrians Felix Baumgartner (BASE jumper) and David Lama (mountain climber), South African Steve Fisher (kayaker), and Americans Renan Ozturk (artist), Mike Libecki (explorer), Shannon Galpin (humanitarian) and Jeremy Jones (snowboarder). “I don’t personally know any of the finalists but I’ve heard of Felix Baumgartner, and anybody involved in snowboarding has heard of Jeremy Jones,” said Dueck. “I’m a big fan of his.” Voting for the People’s Choice award is being done online. Go to nationalgeographic.com and look for Adventurer of the Year under “Editor’s Picks.” A two-minute video introducing the finalist is also available to watch. Voting continues until February.

Out of touch
here’s more proof that provincial government policies are out of step with reality. The Buy B.C. program will provide companies, marketing boards and associations matching funds from $5,000 to $100,000 to launch or expand local food marketing campaigns. “Since being appointed minister, I have been meeting with farmers and food processors in communities right across our province, and I have been hearing some great ideas on how we can promote our diverse British Columbian food products,” said Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick in a release last week. “Now is the time to turn those ideas into new dollars for local food producers.” All of these ideas are great but Letnick should Richard Rolke have also heard about the anguish among farmers who have had their livelihood undermined by meat processing regulations. Just in the North Okanagan alone, the number of meat producers has gone from 1,200 to 300 since the rules came into place in 2007. That has had a direct impact on the economy — much of it centred in Vernon — because farmers are not purchasing animal feed, buying vehicles, going to restaurants or hiring workers. What’s the point of making money available for marketing if consumers are struggling to access local food products they want on their plate? But this isn’t the only example of the government being out of touch. In September, Letnick issued a release as part of B.C. Farmers Appreciation Week.

“I would like to recognize the importance that farmers have to B.C.’s economy and to the health of everyone who lives here,” he said at the time. “Farmers are the heart of B.C. food production, and nine out of 10 farms are family owned and operated.” Except, that because of provincial rules, the heart is being ripped out of the North Okanagan. “Small farms are hemorrhaging and there are huge social problems,” said Rick Fairbairn, a rancher and regional director for rural Lumby. And it’s increasingly evident that not everyone in the Liberal caucus is pleased with the situation. “We’re putting people out of business and in rural communities, this hurts a lot of people,” said Donna Barnett, parliamentary secretary for rural communities, as she met with the Regional District of North Okanagan board last week. But even with pressure coming from within, absolutely nothing has changed. Victoria still refuses to issue class D and E licenses for onfarm slaughter. Letnick has stated that possible changes to the rules may come before Christmas, but how many more farmers will have walked away by then? It may not be evident to the Liberals but the meat processing fiasco is gaining legs and it will be an issue during next spring’s election. Many farmers and consumers aren’t likely to forget the damage that’s been done to the sector and the NDP and Conservatives will be more than willing to try and make political points. Immediate action is required and that means doing more than sending out a press release.
Necessary upgrades to Enderby’s outdoor pool have been completed and approved, and that’s great news for the 2013 swimming season. However, the future of the children’s spray park in Barnes Park is still undetermined. The popular feature was shut down earlier this year after the Interior Health Authority expressed concern that children could slip on the wet surface or fall off the water features. It was certainly an overreaction on the part of IHA as you can only minimize the risk of injury so much. But IHA’s edict stands and that means the spray park will remain closed unless something is done. With winter setting in and summer months away, now is the time for the City of Enderby and the Regional District of North Okanagan to not only consider their next steps, but to take action. Consultation with the public, and particularly the parents of young children, should be initiated immediately to determine what kind of spray facility they want and the best location in Barnes Park. Perhaps there could also be discussion with older youth to see if some features could be added that they would use. Now is also an ideal time to pursue the matter as municipalities are working on their 2013 budgets, as are senior levels of government and community groups that provide grants. Based on the recent process in Lumby for a spray park, it’s extremely unlikely that a new Enderby facility could be ready in time for next summer. However, if the ball doesn’t start rolling soon, how many summers will pass by? And that would be a shame for the children and negatively impact a community trying to attract young families to live there.

Column generates response
am happy to take the time to answer questions from a recent column about the New Democrat plan to address the strain on food banks. Under the Liberal government’s watch, B.C. had the worst child poverty rate in Canada for eight years in a row and continues to have the worst overall poverty rate in the country. Other provinces with governments ranging from Conservative to Liberal, have developed plans to reduce poverty rates. B.C. needs to act now. New Democrats are committed to implementing a provincewide poverty reduction plan that will serve to improve poverty rates by addressing issues of affordability such as housing, education, and skills training. Part of getting out of the cycle of poverty wrong priorities Why on earth do politicians, if there is not enough money to go around, believe that economic stimulus has to be based on resource extraction? Scott Anderson – take note – it did not work for Romney. Did you hear the roar of approval when President Obama mentioned environmental protection in his acceptance speech? Why is it always about oil? How about if it was about prioritizing government spending – e.g. I’m still annoyed about the pool at the G8 conference and the new roof on B.C. Place. Or, can we get this legal farce and financial drain over with and legalize marijuana so we can tax it? Is there a politician out there who is brave enough to suggest reorganizing spending priorities instead of creating ‘new’ revenue out of resource extraction? Joanne Feenstra dangerous drivers On Oct. 29, I was almost hit by a car and a truck on lanes to Okanagan Landing at the intersection of 25th Avenue and 37th Street. The yellow caution light was flashing at that time. Drivers must be more attentive
is providing people with opportunities to succeed. Investing in post-secondary education and skills training is important to New Democrats. A New Democrat government would reinstitute a tax on banks so greater resources can be committed to priorities such as $100 million in non-repayable, needs-based grants for students. New Democrats recognize the problems facing our province. We’re offering positive change to the way we do politics so we can refocus the dialogue from partisan politics to addressing the needs of British Columbians. carole James, new democrat mLa opposition critic for social development
and pay attention to signal lights and pedestrians. I was so angry. One should not have to be afraid of crossing intersections that have signal lights. If I could have, I would have ran after both drivers but I must use a walker to get around. Inattentive drivers must lose their license for quite some time, perhaps permanently. There is no excuse for not paying attention to pedestrians and crosswalks. The police should nab such drivers and take away driving privileges at that time and not receive just a slap on the wrist. All drivers, watch the road as I do not want to become an accident statistic. Incidentally, the memorial is still up for the young girl killed on the bike lane at the same intersection. Drivers, how would you like to have your life snuffed out? david gregoire move on Okanagan Landing Volunteer Firefighters Association members, it’s time to face reality. You live in Greater Vernon and pay taxes to the city. Your elected officials have made a decision you do not like. Welcome to the real world. You now are included in the
Vernon Fire Department and as such are under their command and budget. You will be treated just like any other department in the city. You are upset that your elected representatives did not confer with your association. Get over it. Your association will continue if you want it to. You are gradually making enemies with the people you are supposed to be working for and with. You will probably never be hired full-time because of this stubbornness and politicking. You can, and probably will be replaced. You are making a mountain out of a mole hill and gradually burning all your bridges. You may have support of some Okanagan Landing residents but what do you think the rest of the Vernon residents, workers, staff, firefighters, think about your “nose out of joint” issue? Jim mellors smoke in the air Now that the apples have ripened, the leaves are falling and there is a cool crispness to the air, it's time to take a deep breath and enjoy the smoke from your neighbour's wood stove. No amount of wood smoke is
good to breathe. The smoke particulates are so small they can evade our mucociliary defenses and travel directly into the blood stream. They also resist gravity and remain airborne for weeks at a time. A large percentage of chimney smoke re-enters other buildings and there are no doors or windows capable of keeping the smoke particulate out. The unhappy truth about burning wood is that your nice cozy fire is bad for you, your children, your neighbours and their children. It is also completely unnecessary. We have better and cleaner alternatives for heating our homes. It is common knowledge that smoke is harmful. Why in the world would you continue to produce it? J. mcintyre concerns raised First I would like to say that what happened to the sled dogs at Whistler was horrible and the person responsible should be dealt with to the fullest extent of the law. However, the fact that $250,000 was spent to exhume and rebury these animals was absurd. These organizations are forever asking for donations to support

their cause and then to spend this kind of money which did nothing to aid living animals is beyond reason. Can you just imagine the feed and vet care this amount of money would have aided live animals? Shocking. sandy wiebe

D2D keeps its allegiances close to home Turn up the Stereo live when Delhi 2 Dublin plays the Komasket Fall Ball Saturday Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
Those who ventured into the wilds just north of Lumby this summer may have heard an unusual sound emitting from the Mabel Lake Community Hall. Inside, a boisterous, seamless fusion of electronic beats, stomping Bhangra (folk music of India’s Punjab state) and Celtic fiddle could only mean one thing. The boys and girl from Vancouver band Delhi 2 Dublin were doing what they do best –– churning out their music to manic, dancing revellers. Regular participants in the music camp known as Jam Camp, which takes place in Lumby every summer, the members of Delhi 2 Dublin know where their allegiances lie. And they are willing to stuff themselves inside a sweaty rural hall in the middle of B.C. to show their appreciation to those who love their east-meets-west style. The band is back at it this weekend, when play another community hall, this time Paddlewheel Hall in Okanagan Landing, for the Komasket Music Festival Fall Ball Saturday. Having performed at some of biggest music festivals in the world as well national and international events such as Ottawa’s Canada Day celebrations and the Vancouver Winter Olympics, D2D singer Sanjay Seran says the band always returns to play smaller shows purely for selfish reasons. “We just love the people who come to our shows in these places. They are so great. And it also serves a purpose for us, as Tarun (Nayar, D2D’s tabla and beat producer) has been involved in Jam Camp for a long time,” said Seran, talking on the

But then we play a place like the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, and it sells out, so why would we stop? We get wicked shows out of it.” The band is also happy to help the Komasket Music Festival Society continue into the future. Although this year’s KMF was cancelled, due to personal reasons dealt by the festival’s co-founders, Devaki and Thomas Thomas, plans are to have it back in 2013. And the Komasket Fall Ball is a fundraiser to reach those goals. Before D2D’s formation in 2005, its core members, including percussionist Ravi Binning, often worked with the Thomases on different projects, from playing the
Bhangra drum known as the dhol at their Colours of India show here in Vernon, to playing on their band Samsara’s first album. After forming D2D, Binning and the others brought their distinctive sound as headliners at the 2011 Komasket festival. “We love working with Devaki,” said Seran. “She has believed in what we have been doing since the beginning. You don’t forget that. There’s been so much love at Komasket, so we’re always happy to support them.” Although that love is shared locally, there have been people around the world tuning into D2D’s Bhangra-Celtic-electronicfueled sound. The band, including guitarist/electric sitarist Andrew Kim and fiddler Sara Fitzpatrick, have been called “the United Nations of rock ‘n’ roll,” but to West Coast folk, they are best known as an awe-
some dance band. “We are sort of ambassadors for the West Coast in bringing that vibe to the east,” said Seran. “You actually see the difference between the west and the east at our performances. The west come to our shows to dance; in the east we have to win them over. They don’t let loose as easily. The applause will be just as loud, but the way it’s excepted is different.” The band has also seen some personnel changes the past two years with the exit of original fiddler Kytami, who has since gone on to pursue other projects. Fitzpatrick and another fiddler, Jaron Freeman-Fox, joined the band soon after Kytami left. “We had the two fiddlers for a while. Jaron had his own projects and he recommended that Sara would be the best person for us to work with,” said Seran.“It was defi-

nitely weird for us to tour with this one person for years and then have that change. There was an adjustment period, but Sara has really fitted in, although she says “I need to hang out with a girl right now’ when we are on tour.” The hectic tour schedule D2D keeps continues with the release of its new album, Turn up the Stereo, which came out domestically in August. D2D finished writing Stereo in Indonesia, where they holed themselves in a nice little villa in Bali, said Seran, adding the band is awaiting to hear how the world responds when the album comes out internationally in February. “We won’t know if it will be totally a success in the U.S. for a while, as it hasn’t been released here, but the songs have been doing well on the EDM (electronic dance music) charts,” said Seran, adding the band has been slowly getting away from its “world” music roots. “We’re not against world, but it seems to be more of a roots/acoustic genre. It’s a weird category and is hard to describe. It’s often for bands that don’t get much mainstream play.” In the meantime, D2D will be spending a lot of time south of the border and also plans to cross the Atlantic this coming year. “We’re expanding our market (in the U.S.) and now have an agent here,” said Seran, adding that it’s still home that he looks forward to the most. “I am a Vancouver ambassador. I tell everyone how much I love the city.” Joining Delhi 2 Dublin at the Komasket Fall Ball is Kamloops’ Mexican/Caribbean group Leon Y Los Ganjanistas, local DJ Zazen (promoter and musician Mikkal Waters), as well as Vernon’s Ananda Dance, led by Melanie Piorecky, who practise the classical Indian dance known as Bharatanatyam. Doors to Saturday’s all-ages show at Paddlewheel Hall, 7901 Okanagan Landing Rd., open at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25 (children 12 and under are free) at the Ticket Seller, 250-5497469, www.ticketseller.ca, or at the Bean Scene, downtown Vernon.

Sanders is back with renewed passion Dvoira YanovskY For The Morning Star
Celebrated Louisiana bluesman John Lee Sanders returns to rock the house at the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday. Immersed in the jazz, blues, funk, and gospel music of the Louisiana Mississippi Delta, Sanders is famed for his boogie piano, Texas tenor sax, and soulful vocals burning hot or smoky cool. This is one of Sanders’ first concerts in the valley since his 2010 New Year’s gig at the VJC. Mere weeks after the concert, Sanders was diagnosed with stagefour throat cancer. Two years later, Sanders is cancer free with 100 per cent John Lee sanders of his vocal range intact. This is wonderful news not only for Sanders but also his enthusiastic fans who can’t wait for him to perform the old favourites and Sanders’ own celebrated tunes. Sanders extensive recordings include CD Bucket Full of Blues, which won the 2009 B.C. Interior Music Awards Best Blues, Soul, and Hip Hop CD, and the American Blues Awards 2004 Blues Song of the Year nominee Foreclose on the House of Love. Sanders’ songs, voice, and scores are often heard on radio and television, and his sexy jazz ballad Just One Kiss from the soap opera The Bold and The Beautiful received a Best Song Emmy nomination in 2007. August, 2012 saw Sanders receive standing ovations in Vancouver and Calgary opening for pop and blues icon Bonnie Raitt.
“Bonnie and I were fans of each other for years. She and I talked about possibly touring together for 2012, but my illness put that on hold. But, I was thankful for being her opening act,” said Sanders. Sanders’ musical resume is like a history lesson in American pop, jazz, and R&B, recording and performing with such legends as John Lee Hooker, Willie Nelson, Chuck Berry, Jimmy Page, Sam Moore, Mary Wells, and Stevie Wonder. His musical journey began back in 1953 when his family moved to Jackson, Miss., home of the Delta blues. “I studied classical music and jazz later in life, but my earliest memories are blues, and the African-American culture that created it,” said Sanders. At 12, Sanders was billed as “Birmingham’s answer to Little Stevie Wonder.” Graduating from the prestigious North Texas State University music program, he eventually developed a passion for New Orleans piano. “I first heard New Orleans music with the Preservation Hall Jazz band and they were on fire. That experience stayed with me all my life,” said Sanders. Sanders returns with a smoking hot band. Guitarist Tim Porter is equally skilled in blues, country, rockabilly, jazz, bottleneck slide, and funk. A seasoned session player with countless recording credits, Porter also teaches guitar. In demand bass player Dennis Marcenko was voted bass player of the year in the 2009 B.C. Country Music Awards. He’s toured with an impressive array of artists including Aaron Pritchett, Lisa Brokop, k.d. lang, Colin James, and the Powder Blues band. Drummer Scott Grant has been performing with Sanders since 2008. Known for his performing versatility, Grant operates The Modern Drum
Bell rings in the season with Christmastide Morning Star Staff
Juno award winner Steve Bell is in Vernon Sunday to perform from his new album, Christmastide: Keening for the Dawn, his 17th career album in 24 years. One of the best-kept secrets in Canadian music, the Winnipegbased singer/songwriter has enjoyed commercial success over a prolific solo career that has spanned two decades. Although he has flown under the radar in terms of music industry and media recognition, his large and loyal fan base has continued to grow, here and in the U.S. With his new album, Christmastide – Keening for the Dawn, Bell is reaching out to a wider audience. The album, said to be richly atmospheric and textured by some fine musicianship, blends traditional with original songs, and acoustic roots with symphonic heights. “This is no mere jingly Christmas album,

Connecting faith in the community Cara Brady Morning Star Staff
The Interfaith Bridging Project brought together members of local faith communities to learn from each other and share with others. Events included the Interfaith Café, a chance to discuss and ask questions, a tour of local sacred spaces, workshops on dance, music and crafts, and wrapping up with a dinner and fashion show. “The response was overwhelming, with people wanting to learn more about other faiths,” said Nola Dibski, coordinator of the Interfaith Bridging Project which brought together representatives of the Muslim, Sikh, Buddhist, Baha’i, Hindu, First Nations, Jewish and Christian faith communities. “We learned so much and enjoyed the people we met so much that we wanted to continue in some way whether there was funding or not. We found there were some misconceptions about the project. This is definitely not about trying to make all faiths the same. It’s about learning to appreciate and respect other faiths.” The Interfaith Bridging Project is administered by Vernon and District Immigrant Services and sponsored and funded by the provincial government through Embrace BC. The Vernon project has received funding for another year through to fall 2013. The steering committee members are sorting through ideas for the coming year with the first event set for Nov. 19 with children’s music and

3 Course Dinner for only Members of local faith communities reach out to connect for the second year of the Interfaith Bridging Project. The first event (free) is Nov. 19 at All Saints Anglican Church from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. to form friendships that can’t be broken. We’re not all trying to be the same. We are sharing about our own faiths which we know can be richer and better for us as individuals when we learn about other faiths. Each of us involved in the project has a strong faith and we are stronger and more understanding and more loving the more we learn. “I’m really excited about this project. Personally, it has been a wonderful opportunity to become much more aware of my interfaith neighbours. Everyone felt very safe within the project. We could agree or not agree and share our wisdom, laughter and compassion. It has connected me in a way I had not imagined. There is no question for me that
this is where God wants me to be now.” The Interfaith Bridging Project will also include opportunities for children and youth to learn about faiths other than their own, with the Global Education program students at Fulton school being involved. “I want to thank the members of the steering committee for their ideas, enthusiasm, inspiration and hard work. They are the key to the success of the project.” For more information about the introductory event Nov. 19 from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at All Saints Anglican Church, or to take part in upcoming events, contact Dibski at pdibski@ telus.net.
Parsnips offer versatility
n Nov. 2, I became a member of The Food Action Society, a non-profit, charitable organization whose purpose is to improve food security by cultivating a healthy, sustainable regional food system through education and community action. By going to the web site Jocelyne sewell at www.foodaction. ca you can read all about it. You can find a North Okanagan Local Food Directory/ Map, the programs that are supported like Community Gardens, Good Food Box, Food Gleaning and Community Kitchens. You can also visit the video gallery. The site is easy to navigate and you can find lots of information and interesting material. I am very pleased this year with my parsnips harvest. Some of them of course

look like octopus but the majority were straight and free of rust. I was looking on the internet to see if you can eat raw parsnip and came upon some interesting notes. So it goes: while we rarely do it, parsnips can be enjoyed raw. Simply peel your parsnip (though not necessary, a nice scrub will do), shred it as you would a carrot and add it to your salad — a nice burst of taste, texture and nutrition. They can be roasted, boiled, sautéed and steamed. They can also be used as a thickener in stews, soups and casseroles, with the option of extracting the parsnip from the final dish if you’re not a huge fan. Health Benefits of Parsnips: The parsnip manages to be sweet and satisfying without being loaded with calories. The parsnip boasts an impressive nutritional profile all its own. They are an excellent source of soluble fibre that helps lower cholesterol and keep blood sugar stable, also aided by the potassium they contain. You’ll find folic acid
all throughout a parsnip which keeps the heart healthy and may help prevent dementia and osteoporosis bone fractures. Calcium, vitamin C, B1, B2 and B3, iron and zinc all make appearances in this winning veggie. Why Buy Natural and Organic Parsnips: Like carrots, parsnips are grown conventionally with myriad chemicals and pesticides. And even if you were to peel them, there’s no guarantee pesticides won’t be found on the inside. Just as they do with nutrients, the roots can absorb the chemicals from the soil and integrate them into the whole of the plant. Plus, you lose much of the health benefits associated with this deliciously sweet root when you consume them without skin. Your best bet — for your health, the health of your family and the health of the planet — is to purchase your parsnips organically and locally if you can, and then enjoy those skins!

dance, snacks and an overview display on upcoming events. Some ideas include more of the popular Interfaith Cafés for in-depth dialogue, a series of informational presentations on celebrations of life transitions in different faiths which will be open to the public. A writing/music/drama team will be working throughout the year on a presentation as a gift to the community next fall. “Our hope and our goal is that many people will become involved in any/some of the events in the ways that they can contribute and in ways that are life-changing for them,” said Dibski. “We want to see people connect with others they might not get to know otherwise and

The Bra Lady Is Coming to Size You Up
Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in.
✁
Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra.
Chapman is coming to vernon on thursday, noveMBer 29th to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a oneon-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.”
✁
you’ve tried all the rest - now try the Best
✁
Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.
• No uNderwires • No elastic straps • No straps falliNg off shoulders • No ridiNg up iN the back
You can sign up for Chapman’s bra clinic by calling
1-800-254-3938 By noveMBer 26th
She doesn’t come into town very often so she advises booking as soon as possible.

Start traditional cakes now
he first big snow fall Monday has brought Christmas to mind for many of us who like to make Christmas cakes or puddings, as most traditional recipes need to be made at least a month before they’ll be eaten, so now is the time to dig out your favourite family recipes and make your shopping lists. Today, both recipes are from cathi Litzenberger Canadians who shared their family favourites. The first is a simple carrot pudding, something my mother always made each Christmas and something that we preferred to dark Christmas cake. The second recipe is a light fruit cake made with tropical fruits. It is moist and delicious. Christmas Carrot Pudding 2/3 cups plain flour 1 tsp. baking powder 3/4 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 1/4 tsp. cloves 1/4 tsp. nutmeg 2/3 cups sugar 1-1/3 cups raisins or mixed fruit and nuts of choice 2/3 cups grated raw potatoes 2/3 cups grated raw carrots 1/3 cup milk Mix and sift dry ingredients. Add fruit and stir until well-coated; stir in potatoes, carrots and milk. Fill a 1-quart greased mold 2/3 full. Cover tightly and steam for 2 hours and 30 minutes. Serve with Hot
kitchen wit & wisdom
Pudding Sauce or Caramel Sauce. Hot Pudding Sauce: 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup cream 1/2 tsp. vanilla Few drops of lemon flavouring Heat all ingredients in double boiler until well-blended. Caramel Sauce: 1 cup brown sugar 300 ml thickened cream 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 cup butter Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until sauce comes to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 2 minutes. Serve over pudding; add dollop of whipped cream if desired White Tropical Christmas Cake 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut 1-1/2 cups chopped dried papayas 1-1/2 cups chopped dried mangoes 1-1/2 cups coarsely chopped candied pineapple 1 cup golden raisins 1 cup halved red glazed berries 1 cup coconut rum or rum 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 cup butter, softened 1 cup granulated sugar 3 eggs 2 cups slivered almonds 1 tbsp. corn syrup 12 oz. almond paste Icing: 1/4 cup butter, softened 1-1/4 cups icing sugar

ads? Spinach can easily be preserved for later use. Blanch in boiling water for one minute. Rinse in cold water and drain or squeeze off the extra moisture. Pack in freezer bags or containers and freeze for future use in lasagne, spanakopita, spinach dip or frittatas. Not sure what to do with kale? You’re not alone! Kale tends to be tough so it is best when cooked. It can be steamed, sautéed or simmered. Remove the tough stems, tear or chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces and steam until bright green and tender (about 10 minutes). Add your favourite dressing to flavour and serve as a side dish. Or you can sauté it with garlic and onions and top with lemon juice and a sprinkle of salt. When cooking grains such as rice or quinoa you can add a large handful of chopped kale and some fresh herbs to the pot and let it cook with the grain.

Jim Paduch was a regular working guy for most of his life. Had a good paying job, a wife, family and friends. Then, during the 1980s Jim started using drugs. In order to live the drug life he began selling drugs. Jim spent 10 years in the drug sub-culture. However, as with almost any other job, you need to be able to see to do your job properly, eventually Jim realized that he couldn’t even see well enough to deal drugs. He had cataracts and was not making enough money to feed himself and his wife. “We were sleeping on the floor of a dingy old trailer with four other people. We began going to the Vernon Upper Room Mission because we needed to eat,” said Jim. Once Jim started coming to the Upper Room Mission regularly, the staff offered him opportunities to volunteer around the place and they would provide him with food that he could take home to the others he was living with. “I realized that life as a drug dealer was going nowhere and made the decision to quit that life,” said Jim. “The staff at the Upper Room Mission gave me purpose, and direction, and helped make the arrangements to get my cataracts fixed.” Bit by bit, he became

The Upper Room Mission then offered Jim an opportunity to run their bottle return program as part of the Fresh Start Guest Work Program funded by United Way. This program has now become partially self-sustaining. The Upper Room Mission’s Fresh Start Guest Work Program now has three clients employed and another four volunteering. Jim has now moved up to working full time as the receiver for the Upper Room Boutique Thrift Shop, has a nice townhouse to live in, and truly has been given a fresh start. Vernon Upper Room Mission is moving people from poverty to possibility with the support of United Way.

Marie Cat Bruno checks out the trails at Silver Star Mountain Resort. The cross-country season tentatively begins Friday.
Skiers are getting ready to hit the trails. Both Silver Star Mountain Resort and the Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre are looking to Friday for a tentative opening for cross-country skiing. “The plan is to be skiing the upper trails (Putnam trails), with 15 to 20 kilometres open,” said Guy Paulsen, Silver Star nordic manager. Presently, there is 25 centimetres of snow in the village and 40 centimetres at higher elevations. Sovereign Lake has about 10 centimetres of packed snow and will open with 20 kilometres of groomed trails. “We have had our first staff meeting and everyone is very excited to start work,” said Don Wylie, Sovereign Lake manager. There was a lot of work done during the summer months to cut the grass down and clear the rocks off trails. “It is early season conditions, so we encourage skiers to bring their rock skis, and ski with caution,” said Wylie. Sovereign Lake is holding its annual fall information meeting Nov. 21 at 7 p.m. at the Schubert Centre Silver Star and Sovereign Lake are co-hosting early season nordic camps until the end of November. “We are very excited to be working together on this initiative,” said Paulsen. Silver Star anticipates the start of the alpine ski season Nov. 22. “A significant snowfall of 40 centimetres and we would be there,” said Robin Baycroft, resort services manager. “We ask all of the North Okanagan to do a snow dance.”

Hydrologist warns of conflicts judie steeves
“Let us give you something to smile about...”

We’re approaching a time of more water conflicts in the Okanagan basin warns hydrologist Don Dobson, who has been studying the Okanagan’s watersheds for decades. He was commenting on the need for a watershed management plan to be undertaken here during discussion of it at the Okanagan Water Stewardship Council. Dobson is vicechairman of the council, on which he represents the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of B.C. He told council
Dr. Sean Bicknell and Dr. Karl Denk are pleased to welcome Dr. Isabelle Henri to the practice. Dr. Henri brings many years experience in all facets of family dentistry, and is excited to now call Vernon home.

There are calls for a watershed management plan in the Okanagan Valley. tions, explained that a successful WMP relies on cooperation between different actors within the watershed. “A strategy of inclusivity and clear commitment throughout the development of the plan will help to ensure its long-term viability,” he commented. The Okanagan sustainable water strategy prepared by the council in 2008 recommended that a WMP for the Okanagan be prepared within three years.
In the interim, such studies as the water supply and demand study have been completed, and they provide a technical foundation. “The vision of a WMP is to manage the quantity, quality and timing of water in the hydrologic cycle to avoid and reduce future conflicts between water users, and between water users and instream (environmental) flow requirements in the Okanagan watershed,” said Jatel.

Now, he said, the council must decide what should be included and excluded from a WMP. The plan is a comprehensive and integrated watershed plan which is intended to proactively deal with conflicts between water users, conflicts between water users and instream flow needs and risks to water quality. It is a tool introduced in 2004 under the province’s Water Act, but so far, only one formal WMP has been submitted to the province and none have been approved. The first step would be an identification of issues, reasons and purposes for such a plan. One of the compelling reasons for the Okanagan to consider embarking on the process, is that it is the only available mechanism to protect groundwater in this province, said Jatel.

members there has already been a lot of work done at the basin level that could be fed into a WMP. Such plans are sub basin specific, he explained. He cautioned there can be confusion between a watershed management plan, of which a number have been completed now in the Okanagan, and a water management plan, but he explained that they are quite different, although the one is a critical component of the other. Water management plans can be quite complicated, he noted, and there will be competing interests, however, he said it’s important to proceed with one in order to manage water in the Okanagan.

McLeod playground will wait until spring RogeR Knox Morning Star Staff
Preparation work on the new playground and park in Spallumcheen’s McLeod subdivision is complete. But it won’t be until the spring before kids can play on the new equipment. “The asphalt pathways and top-soil are nearing completion,” said Ed Forslund, the township’s public works manager. “Trees and shrubs have been planted and the irrigation has been completed.” Forslund said site furnishings have been ordered and should be installed within a couple of week.

Jackets chasing Pee Wee crown Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Yellow Jackets will face the Kelowna Lions for the Southern Interior Pee Wee Football Conference championship Sunday at the Mission Sports Centre. The regular-season winning Yellow Jackets stopped the Kamloops Wildcats 37-0 in Sunday’s playoff semifinal at Grahame Park. The Jackets’ defence was outstanding, highlighted by a 64-yard interception return for a touchdown by Kaden Doughty late in the third quarter. “Liam Alder played another great game for us on defence with a handful of tackles and an interception,” said head coach Bryan Cragg, assisted by Terry Winstanley and Jeff Anderson. “The defence has been a rock for us all season and everyone plays as a team out there; it’s hard to say sometimes who made the tackle as they just flow to the ball and, by the end of it, pretty much the whole defence is on top of them.” Trey Winstanley, Matthew Reich and Isaiah Ondrik each recorded eight tackles. Devin Hofsink (six tackles) and Tristen Baker (four solo tackles) also starred. The Vernon offence was led by quarterback Ethan Anderson, who threw for 100-plus yards. His No. 1 target was Matthew Hansen with 35 yards receiving, followed by Liam Glennon, with 20. Glennon also added three converts.
The Yellow Jackets also used a stellar running game, with Bryce Tkachuk and Riley MacGillivray each supplying two touchdowns and Doughty had one. The offensive line had a fabulous showing, led by Logan Quibell, Connor Dewhurst and Brady Szeman. “That O-line made big holes for the running backs and allowed the quarterback time to throw the ball. They really have come together as a team out there,” said Cragg. The third-place Vernon Marauders bowed 60-20 to the second-place West Kelowna Sun Devils in the Junior Bantam semifinal Sunday in Kelowna. Tyler (Ducky) Sova, Zack Rogers and Connor Manahan all scored a TD for the Marauders, who got one convert from Sebastian Sanchez. “I am incredibly proud of the way our kids played hard right to the last whistle,” said QB coach Ed Huber, noting the solid blocking of Kaiden Parton, Tyler Riva, Teylor Munger, Clayton Hamming and Kieran Webster. Defensive co-ordinator Andy Stefansson was equally pleased with the effort displayed by his defence, especially Tyler Braun, Morgan Nichols, Koalden Oakden, Miles Forrest and Isaac Olsen. “It was a good season,” said head coach Ron Kirschner. “All of our players improved in life skills such as goal setting and their understanding of the game of football.”

Tambellini shows clutch touch as Vipers clip Eagles RogeR Knox
Morning Star Staff
It’s long been the philosophy of hockey coaches everywhere: shoot the puck at the net, and good things will happen. Adam Tambellini obliged. Tambellini’s goal with five seconds left in double overtime gave the Vernon Vipers a 3-2 win over the visAdam Tambellini iting Surrey Eagles in B.C. Hockey League action Saturday night at the Wesbild Centre. The goal came after Tambellini went around a Surrey defence-
man and got a shot on goalie Glenn Ferguson, who made the first save. Tambellini, who turned 18 on Nov. 1, picked up the rebound and fired it on goal, the puck squeaking under Ferguson’s arm and into the net for the victory. The Edmonton product is eighth in league scoring with 12 goals and 12 assists in 20 games. “It was huge for us to get the win tonight,” said Tambellini, the game’s first star. “On the winner, I drove to the net, got a shot away and the puck came back to me and I just shot it at the goal. Fortunately for us, it went in.” The Eagles had a chance to complete a weekend Interior doubleheader sweep (Surrey won 3-2 Friday in Salmon Arm) when Mason Blacklock was hauled down from behind 1:08 into the three-on-three
second overtime period by Vernon’s Pearce Eviston, and was awarded a penalty shot. Blacklock, chosen third star on the night, shot wide on the game’s second star, Vipers’ goalie Danny Todosychuk, who finished the night with 46 saves as Surrey outshot Vernon 48-41. Sporting commemorative double-blue Movember moustache-themed uniforms, which were auctioned off after the game, the Vipers opened the scoring at 9:08 when Tambellini found Eviston alone in the slot and his shot beat Ferguson. The Eagles replied at 17:05 with Blacklock ripping a shot shorthanded over Todosychuk’s left shoulder. Defenceman Marc Hetnik, with his first goal of the year, a seeing-eye shot through
a maze of players in front of Ferguson, gave the Vipers a 2-1 lead 4:30 into the middle frame. The Vipers ran into penalty trouble, conceding a two-man power play for 68 seconds late in the period. After Todosychuk made a number of huge saves, and with the second penalty nearly over, Surrey equalized at 18:53 on a lucky powerplay bounce as Brett Mulcahy’s centering pass hit defenceman Michael Statchuk’s leg and just dribbled over the goal line. The Vipers killed a tripping penalty to Hetnick with three minutes left in regulation, and both goalies made huge saves in the first overtime.

Knights slumping
Wednesday, November 14, 2012 - The Morning Star A25
Kaneda cans 20 Morning Star Staff
Morning Star Staff
It would be difficult to tell by their first-place standing in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Doug Birks Division, but the North Okanagan Knights are in a bit of a funk. After going 8-1 in October, the Knights (14-7-0-1) are 1-5 so far in November after weekend losses to a pair of divisional rivals. They fell 6-2 to the host Revelstoke Grizzlies Saturday night at the Forum, and 5-3 to the Kamloops Storm Sunday afternoon at Nor-Val Sports Centre. “We haven’t been playing a full 60 (minutes) lately,” said Knights’ forward Brett Hawrys, who scored the opening goal against Revelstoke by tipping a Dryden Profeit point shot. It was his fifth of the season. “We come out flying in the first period and then we just shut it down. We solved half the problem Sunday (against the Storm). We didn’t get the win, but overall it was one of the best games we’ve played lately. It will pay off in the long run.” Forward Josh Ellis (5th goal) tipped another Profeit point shot for North Okanagan’s other goal against the 10-8-1-1 Grizz. Vernon’s Conrad McMillan backstopped Revelstoke with 32 saves for his fourth win. Tyler Reay led the Grizzly offence with a goal and two assists. Knights’ keeper Matthew Mitchell was relieved by Zack Dueck (11 saves) for the third period after allowing four goals on 18 shots. North Okanagan’s defence accounted for all of its offence against the 12-7-2-2 Storm.

Tyler Bolduc (4th) and Darien Head (2nd), both on point shots, and Nathan Browne (3rd) beat Marcus Beesley, who finished with 39 stops. Dueck made 25 saves for the Knights. “It was a great game to watch, a great game to play in,” said Hawrys. “We’re looking to carry that over.” The Knights’ powerplay went 3-for-15 over the weekend, and with forward Matty Saharchuk (Salmon Arm SilverBacks) and d-man Mac Ferner (West Kelowna Warriors) serving as BCHL call-ups last weekend, Hawrys said it has been difficult to maintain consistency on special teams. North Okanagan ends November with
four more home games, starting Friday night (7:30) against the Osoyoos Coyotes. The Yotes lead the Okanagan Division at 13-9, but are just 3-7 in their last 10. The 14-4-3 Castlegar Rebels visit NorVal for a Sunday matinee (3:00).

Kuhn wins in Victoria Morning Star Staff

“Danny was great tonight. We have so much confidence in him,” said Tambellini. For the Eagles, they will take three out of four weekend points, though head coach Matt Erhart thought they deserved a better fate Saturday. “I thought we played well, no doubt about it, putting 48 shots on goal against a quality team in their own barn,” said Erhart, a former Eagle d-man. “Both teams had lots of chances, it probably deserved to go to overtime and once you get to overtime, anything happens. We get a penalty shot, they get some great chances, our goalie made a couple of big saves in some scrambles. Obviously you like to win those games but really happy with the way we played tonight.” The game opened with an honour guard from members of the Vernon branch of the Royal Canadian Legion to commemorate Remembrance Day. Vernon hits the road this weekend for a trio of Coastal Conference tilts – Friday night against the Powell River Kings (9-12-0-3), Saturday at the Alberni Valley Bulldogs (10-9-0-3), and Sunday afternoon against the Coquitlam Express (11-9-1).

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder
THE ODDS SUGGEST THE WAY TO TURN Orison Swett Marden was an author in the New Thought Movement and a successful hotel owner who also had a degree in medicine. He said, “Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.” Not so at the bridge table! Success is measured by your score, and the worse the opposition, the better your score rates to be. However, sometimes you must decide what to do, and often then your play will be governed by the odds.
In this example, South is in four spades. West leads the heart king and East drops the jack. What should South do? North had a minimum hand for raising spades. South’s jump to four spades was a slight overbid, but we all yearn to try for the vulnerable game bonus. Assuming a 3-2 spade break, South can see four losers in his hand: one spade, two hearts and one diamond. He does not have the dummy entries to establish clubs, so must ruff a heart on the board. How many hearts did East begin with? If one, South must take the first trick. But if East started with a doubleton, South must duck at trick
quality delivery. one. Which is preferable? Let’s look at the a priori odds. West will have six hearts 8.57 percent of the time and seven hearts only 1.43 percent of the time. So, South should duck the first trick, take the second, cash his two top trumps, then ruff his last heart on the board.

Senior Males, do you find yourself wishing you could do more socializing, but being minus a partner, hinders this wish. I am an active Senior Female who loves socializing (Concert, Theaters, Dancing, etc.) or having a one to one adventure (Walks, Luncheons, Camping, Travel, etc.).

We thought of you today But that is nothing new, We thought about you yesterday And days before that too. We think of you in silence We often speak your name, Now all we have are memories And your picture in a frame. Some may think you are forgotten Though on earth you are no more, But in our memory you are with us As you always were before. A million times we’ve thought of you A million times we’ve cried, If loving could have save you You would have never died. You left us beautiful memories Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you You are always at our side. It broke our hearts to lose you But you did not go alone, Part of us went with you On the day God called you home. Forgive me Lord, I’ll always weep For the best friend I loved, but could not keep. It’s been one year since you have been gone Love Richard & Family

Natural gas is used safely and reliably in homes across B.C. Regular inspection and maintenance is the best way to ensure peak performance of your natural gas appliances — and to prevent carbon monoxide (CO) in the home. Since CO is colourless and odourless, you can install a CO alarm for extra peace of mind.
SAVE TIME. SAVE MONEY.
