Active labour is when we admit to the labour, delivery, recovery and postpartum room,” she said. “If a woman is not in active labour, they will be able to labour where they are more comfortable away from the hospital setting.” Di Venre and Isabella are now at home with dad Rick Adair and there will be quite the story to tell her when she is older. The heroes will be grandma and auntie. “I’m very proud of them,” said Di Venre.

An RCMP motor vehicle collision reconstructionist took the stand on day two of a scheduled seven-day trial into a fatal 2010 Coldstream pedestrian accident. Sgt. Brian Nightingale told Vernon Supreme Court Tuesday that KieraLeigh Carlson was struck by a northbound vehicle as she walked on the southbound shoulder of Aberdeen Road the night of April 30, 2010. He offered his conclusions at the trial of Chase Garett Donaldson, who is charged with one count of dangerous driving causing death and one count of failing to stop at an accident causing bodily harm in connection with Carlson’s death on April 30, 2010. Carlson was struck by a car along Aberdeen Road sometime before 9 p.m. as she walked to work at a downtown Vernon nightclub. Her body was discovered the next morning near the offices of the Regional District of North Okanagan. “The pedestrian was in a northbound direction on the southbound shoulder, walking at that location when she was struck by a vehicle on the wrong side of the road,” said Nightingale under questioning from Crown lawyer Iain Currie. Nightingale, who has done 650 technical investigations in his career, and testified at more than 100 investigations, told the court – the case is being heard by Supreme Court judge Frank Cole alone – that based on calculations from a number of formulas, the estimated speed of the vehicle that hit Carlson was travelling between 61 and 71 km/hour. Nightingale was first called to the scene on Saturday, May 1, arriving at 6:50 a.m. He told court that he collected 74 total exhibits from the scene, and photographed them all.

Rawnsley believes the situation could have turned out differently without medical personnel. “If the cord had been wrapped around her or a foot had come out first, it could have been worse,” she said. VJH is currently reviewing protocols. “We are pleased mom and baby are doing well and we regret that the delivery was not what the family expected,” said Yolanda Short, manager of women’s and children’s health services. “We are committed to improving service

Baby born in hotel Answers are being demanded after a firsttime mom gave birth at a hotel instead of the hospital. Tiny Isabella was born in a room at the Village Green Hotel Nov. 16 after Myriah Di Venre, 17, could not access a bed at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. “We want answers from the hospital,” said Jennifer Myers, Di Venre’s mom. Di Venre was eight days overdue and the Grindrod family travelled to VJH Nov. 15 so she could be induced at 9 a.m. They then waited for the process to proceed while visiting friends. At 5:30 p.m., they returned to the hospital but she was barely dilated, so they booked a hotel room so they had somewhere to wait. As the night progressed, contractions began and the family headed back to VJH at 3:30 a.m. Nov. 16. However, she still wasn’t admitted because she wasn’t apparently dilated enough. “She was wheelchaired out of the hospital because she couldn’t walk but she was still sent out,” said aunt Iola Rawnsley. Arriving at the hotel just after 4:30 a.m., the family settled in but the contractions escalated and while Di Venre was in the washroom, active labour began. “I was really shaking and I was yelling, saying, ‘Something is wrong,’” said Di Venre. Family members managed to carry her to a bed. “I was frantic because this is my daughter and I was scared,” said Myers. A call was made to 911 and paramedics were dispatched. The operator provided delivery instructions to Myers and Rawnsley because Isabella wasn’t willing to wait. “I tied the umbilical cord off with a shoe lace,” said Myers. Despite the circumstances, Isabella was healthy. “She was cooing and sucking on her fists,” said Rawnsley. Paramedics soon arrived and Di Venre and

Blaze destroys Enderby Test drive anylandmark new vehicle and you could win a 2012 Civic LX*.

A cornerstone of the Splatsin community sits dark and burned out. Fire gutted the interior of the Super Save gas station at Highway 97A and Canyon Road at about 3 a.m. Monday. “It’s been operating for more than 30 years and it’s the one thing that’s been a constant for employment and income,” said Chief Wayne Christian, of the Splatsin First Nation, which owns the business. “It’s a real blow for the community.” About 15 people worked at the station, also home to the Quilakwa Art Gallery, and Christian says it has played a critical role in providing youth with experience so they can pursue education or careers. The band will consider its options for the site, but Christian hopes the gas station will be rebuilt. “It’s an important part of our community,” he said. Enderby volunteer firefighters were on scene shortly after receiving the report of a blaze. “There was a lot of smoke and heat damage but the structure, we were able to save,” said Kevin Alstad, fire chief. “The fire came through the roof at one point.” It’s believed much of the merchandise inside the store was destroyed by smoke and water. The fire began in a back room but a cause has not been determined at this time. “At this point, it’s not suspicious,” said Alstad. Also looking into the cause are WorkSafe B.C., the fire commissioner’s office and the RCMP.

Witnesses testify in case Continued from A1

He said a vehicle mirror found at the scene belonged to Donaldson’s Impreza, and noted that Donaldson’s car had damage to a left front headlight, which Nightingale concluded was the original impact spot. Nightingale also said there was a “significant dent” to the side of the car at the fender above the left wheel. “Both are consistent with this vehicle’s traveling at an angle and consistent to the road marks,” said Nightingale. A third dent was found above the driver’s side window. Glenn Verdurmen, one of Donaldson’s two defence lawyers (Paul Danyliu is the other), questioned Nightingale about the RCMP’s securing of the accident scene, asking if it was possible that pedestrians may have moved some of the evidence from the time Carlson was hit until the time her body was discovered the following morning. “There’s no possibility of picking things up. People don’t do that,” said Nightingale. “There’s no possibility anything was moved?” asked Verdurmen. “It’s possible but not logical,” replied Nightingale. “It’s a rural road. There’s not a lot of people out on the road.” The first two witnesses called Monday were Dave and Beth Regehr, a Coldstream couple who both testified they had been out for dinner at a Vernon restaurant on April 30, 2010, and were returning home on Highway 6. Dave Regehr, who was driving, told court that as he turned onto Aberdeen Road, “there was a car coming in my lane.” “My wife screamed, I could see the headlights of the oncoming car and it was going at a high speed,” said Dave Regehr. “I hadn’t got to my lane yet. I went right across so I wouldn’t be hit by him.” Both Regehrs said after they pulled over on the correct side of the road, the suspect car “made two or three small manoeuvres” and pulled in behind them. They were unable to get the licence plate number. However, when the vehicle made a U-turn, they followed the car back towards Vernon on Highway 6 and were able to get its licence plate number. They called 911 and stopped at a police officer friend’s house to describe what happened. It wasn’t until the following morning that police told Beth Regehr they may have been witnesses to a serious accident. Dave Regehr told court he went for a bike ride past the scene Saturday morning and thought “another accident had taken place at the same site.” It wasn’t until nearly four hours into his ride that Beth phoned him to say the police wanted to talk to them.

NotificatioN of Road closuRe This is a public notification that East Vernon Road will be closed in both directions at the BX Creek crossing for repairs and upgrading of infrastructure as a result of flooding damage which occurred earlier this season. Detours are available via BX Road and Tillicum Road as per signage. The closure is expected to begin 8am Monday October 22nd and is estimated to last until Friday November 23rd. We apologize for the inconvenience of this closure and appreciate your understanding as these necessary repairs and improvements are made. If you have any questions or concerns regarding these works please contact the Vernon district Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure office at 250-503-3664.

He said he rode by the scene again, on his way home, saw a tarp, and “became emotional because he realized somebody had died there.” Both witnesses told the court they never saw a pedestrian. Defence hammered away at the Regehrs’ testimony, with Danyliu noting that Beth Regehr, in her court testimony, said the oncoming car “never swerved,” but pointed out she said four times that the car “swerved into their lane” during a preliminary inquiry in 2011. Carlson’s parents were on hand, joined by more than 20 supporters, all wearing purple – Kiera’s favourite colour. Currie is expected to wrap up his case today. Verdurmen did not say how many witnesses he would be calling.

MLA says government focused on doctors richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Shuswap MLA George Abbott insists that the provincial government is doing every-

thing it can to ease the doctor shortage in communities like Enderby. While Enderby previously had five physicians, that has decreased

to two permanent doctors over nine months and there will only be one in January. “It’s a challenge not just in Enderby but in

many small towns in B.C.,” said Abbott, a former health minister. “Some steps have been taken to deal with the issue.”

Among them, he says, is doubling the intake of medical students at the University of B.C. in Vancouver in 2006 and creating seats

Charges laid in death richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Charges have been laid after a fatal motor vehicle accident a year-and-a-half ago. Vernon resident Howard Horning, 82, died during a two-vehicle collision on Highway 97, near Highland Road, April 3, 2011. Horning was a passenger in a Ford mini-van driven by his wife when she attempted to turn left on to Highland Road, near Swan Lake Nurseryland. The vehicle was struck by a southbound Mazda. Crown has approved a charge of dangerous driving causing death against the driver of the Mazda, John Moesker, 29, of Creston. Moesker is scheduled to be in court Dec. 13 for a first appearance.

In a Black Press editorial published in The Morning Star on Aug. 22, it was stated that a conditional sentence is commonly handed down by the courts for a conviction of viewing and/or distributing child pornography. In fact, The Criminal Code of Canada prohibits conditional sentences for convictions involving offences for which there is a minimum sentence. Since 2005, the Criminal Code has set minimum prison sentences for accessing and distributing child pornography. Black Press and The Morning Star apologizes for the error. Furthermore, the editorial did not intend to suggest that government directly influences the judiciary.

Crown corporation did not consider the request from the City of Vernon and other municipalities to create an opt-out program for customers not wanting the new meters. “It was a legitimate motion,” he said, adding that an opt-out system exists in Quebec. “This whole thing has been mishandled by B.C.

Questions lingering

lans for a track facility are facing significant hurdles before they even leave the starting block. Letters to the editor have been rolling in from residents about an April 6 referendum to borrow $8.5 million for a proposed sports complex in Greater Vernon. Many people are simply opposed to the project because they don’t see the need for it. Others pan the location — designated agricultural land next to the college. And there are those who question adding to the public debt load at a time when the economy continues to struggle and there are so many other demands facing taxpayers, such as multi-million dollar upgrades to the water utility. The looming furor hasn’t been lost on elected officials. Coldstream council Richard Rolke is asking the Regional District of North Okanagan, which oversees parks and recreation, to provide more specific details about the proposal, including a cost breakdown. “I really think we need to be getting more information,” said Coun. Richard Enns. Coun. Maria Besso has gone a step further and is demanding a committee be formed to address questions coming from residents and politicians. “I’m not really satisfied with the procedure that is happening with the track facility,” she said. While Coldstream was one of the original champions of a running track and football field, there is now acknowledgement that the initial public reaction could prove daunting. “There’s concerns about the success of the referendum,” said Mayor Jim Garlick. The problem is the sales pitch has already

started. RDNO staff and volunteers have been attending community events in an attempt to generate some enthusiasm among residents. A brochure provides basic details on the objectives of a sports complex, what the facility will cost to build and operate and financing. However, even with the document in hand, it may still not be clear as to why a complex is needed. What’s wrong with the existing track and field in Polson Park? Many residents hear of decreased enrolment at area schools so they may wonder who will use the facility. At no point is the issue of the location broached. Why there instead of right in Vernon? What could a sports facility mean for Okanagan College programs? And some residents may wonder why the brochure says the facility will cost $7.8 million to build but the referendum question calls for $8.5 million to be borrowed. It’s likely contingency because surprises can occur during construction, but that should be spelled out clearly. Some politicians have previously suggested that $7.8 million may not be necessary. Were pencils sharpened when the budget was drafted? Ultimately, a sports complex would provide significant benefits for residents, including for the young-at-heart trying to stay in shape and recovering cardiac care patients. There would also be an economic component as tournaments, such as the B.C. Summer Games, could support hotels, restaurants and retailers. But RDNO should have learned from the 2007 sports complex fiasco on Aberdeen Road that residents want concise information before heading to the polls. If they aren’t provided with it, speculation can gain legs. Convincing voters to hike taxes is always an uphill battle but it doesn’t help when some of the strongest doubts are coming from officials within the process.

Another exotic creature has died at the Greater Vancouver Zoo in Aldergrove. Jafari, a 12-year-old male giraffe, was found dead inside its barn on Nov. 3. It is the third giraffe to perish at the zoo, after Jafari’s mate Eleah, 23, and their male offspring, Amryn, 4, died last year. It’s not yet known what caused Jafari’s death, although initial necropsy results seem to rule out low body fat and cold temperatures, as some initially thought. The investigation continues. In each instance of the giraffes’ demise, public reaction has included sadness, concern, and in some cases, harsh criticism of the facility, which has had a disturbing string of deaths among its animal inhabitants over the past several years, including a hippo and four zebras. Negligence was not found to have been a factor in the deaths of the creatures. However, the fact of the matter is that exotic creatures found only in climates and countries vastly different than what exists here, are being imprisoned for the entertainment and “education” of people. It is an archaic practice that must come to an end. Species such as elephants, giraffes and big jungle cats are intended to roam across vast expanses of terrain. Education can no longer be used as an excuse to put them inside enclosures and cages, where they languish – and are ogled by people – until they die. Neither is it justification to say they were born in captivity. As long as zoos allow the animals to breed, the cycle will never end. The point is that wild animals don’t belong in zoos. Period.

MP's column sparks a response

ur local MP Colin Mayes has written his own interpretation of trade history, (History proves value of trade agreements, Friday, October 26, 2012) revising information, taking it out of context, and erroneously equating a co-relationship with cause and effect. He begins by equating trade with the increase in life expectancy of the U.K. when compared to China. The argument implies that because China did not trade with the U.K. in the 1600s, their life expectancy stayed very low while that of the U.K. doubled by the 1800s. Statistically the numbers may be true. But in context, China in the early 1800s was riven by revolts of the Han against the Hanchu dynasty that had invaded much earlier from the north. At the same time, this was the era of European imperialism demanding access - via ‘gunboat diplomacy’ - to open markets with China. These combined wars and imperial quests resulted in an estimated 20 million deaths, a figure that assuredly lowers life expectancy. In Europe on the other hand, centuries of plagues and internecine Christian wars had given way to increased sanitation and an increased wealth gathered from overseas colonies by the imperial powers of the day. As for trade with the U.K. it was hardly a free liberal deal. The imperial British made sure that all trade worked in their favour, with cheap labour and resources from the colonies supporting industrial growth at home. Trade was

Well done In response to the letter by the Sparrows (Oct. 24), they should be commended for helping their family members. Having been a palliative/hospice volunteer, one sees and hears a lot of things about seniors. Some are put in places and never seen again by family or friends. There was a school that needed repair so some of the kids were moved into spare rooms in a hospital or seniors home and it wasn't long before the kids had new grandmas and grandpas and were having a great time. A little love goes a long ways. One woman, who had not spoken to anyone in years, started talking again. It's really hard on seniors when they lose their drivers' license or lose their home and have to go to a seniors home. I know someone who didn't

not free, and if history is read correctly there is no country in the world that became rich without protecting its own home grown industries against incursions - military, financial, or political - from other countries. Modern China is successful because of trade, but not with the “free” trade agreements as presented today. China is successful because it protected its major industries and when the U.S. and other corporate nations wanted their cheap labour, the Chinese made sure they obtained advantages in technology and finance with those deals. Modern trade agreements are essentially non-democratic rules written by corporations in collusion with politicians in order to allow the corporations to make as much profit as possible without government ‘interference’ ( e.g. with laws protecting the environment, work and

want to move and then died alone and it was days before they were found. So I say to the City of Vernon and bylaw officers, give the Sparrows and people like them a break and be nice. The most important task imposed by scripture has always been love your neighbour. It's the individual who is not interested in their fellow man who has the greatest difficulties in life and provided the greatest injuries to others. It is from among such individuals that most human failures spring. While injustice always hurts the victim in one way or another, it frequently exacts a terrible toll sooner or later on the one who commits the injustice. To the Sparrows: Forgiveness can give such freedom, peace and healing to the person who gives it and keep up the good work. G. Fitz

Thank you I would like to take a moment to show the tremendous amount of gratitude I feel towards the Okanagan community, for the amount of support they have given to my son Curtis and I. Thank you goes out to all the people that donated bottles for my bottle drive and Interior Freight and Bottle Depot for collecting the donations in my son's name. I recently held a fundraiser garage sale with many generous donations from the community to help raise money for my son. A big thank you goes out to all those that had donated their time, also a huge thank you goes out to Fermco, Vernon Dodge & Jeep, Safeway, Cobbs Bread, Cottons Chocolate for donated items that helped to make it a success. Just a week ago I held a Fundraiser/ Silent Auction/ Dance at the Elks Lodge.

safety conditions, social service benefits) that would affect their profit margin. The NAFTA agreement has been a disaster for Mexico and has been shown to be neutral or negative on its effects within Canada. Wages have remained stagnant. Productivity measures have declined. Well-paying work has decreased while low-wage work has increased. Social safety nets, in particular unemployment insurance benefits, have been weakened. Mr. Mayes presents some wonderful economic figures for trade, and trade is indeed financially beneficial to some. However, the modern day free trade agreements (CETA, NAFTA, the proposed TPP) are designed to have corporate rules dominate sovereignty, and to permit the “race to the bottom” for wages, social services, and environmental concerns. Mr Mayes ends his column arguing that these agreements “need to protect the best interests of Canadian values, the environment and the economy.” In actuality, they do none of the three. “Canadian values” is just a nice sound bite; the environment is ignored and indeed downgraded; and the economy, while perhaps better for the elites, tends to remain stagnant at best for the workers. Trade between nations is valuable, but it should be fair trade for labour, environmental protections, and social services, not as it currently exists in its “race to the bottom” formulation. Jim Miles

I want to shout out my heartfelt gratitude to all that came and supported my Music For A Cause event. A big thank you goes out to the Elks Lodge for donating the hall, Linda- Sue Wilson Band, Les Copeland Band, Duane Marchand and Wayne Ratz for providing the wonderful entertainment for the evening. Also I would like to thank the businesses that donated items for my silent auction. It was a huge success! I am so blessed to live here in such a caring and giving community. I also wanted to thank the anonymous person that donated $1,000 into my son Curtis' trust account. You don't know how appreciative I feel towards you all. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Lumby targets DCCs richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Developers could be digging deeper in Lumby. Council has given second reading to a bylaw that would increase development cost charges from $2.07 per square metre to $36. “They have been so low, taxpayers have been footing the bill,” said Coun. Lori Mindnich of infrastructure like roads, sewer and water. “Developers will now be paying more future infrastructure. It will take some of the burden off taxpayers.” DCCs were reduced many years ago as a way of stimulating economic growth but instead of that occurring, Mayor Kevin Acton says the responsibility shifted for expanding necessary infrastructure upgrades. “We want to keep residents from paying the bill when development comes to town,” he said. Acton isn’t concerned that higher DCCs will drive potential developers away. “They are still lower than some communities in the area,” he said. “We want to be competitive but we don’t want to be giving it away.” In fact, Acton believes higher DCCs may attract developers because there will a level of certainty about infrastructure. “They want to know that a community is investing in the future,” he said. In terms of bolstering the economy, the village is considering other measures including a revitalization tax emption and relocation programs.

Making a show from one-hit wonders Morning Star Staff

What do songs Seasons In The Sun, Indiana Wants Me, and Hooked on a Feeling all have in common? They were all one-hit wonders for the original artists who recorded them. And now they are part of a show by Kelowna entertainer Rann Berry, which is coming to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre on Saturday. “The One Hit Wonders pays tribute to those big hits from the ‘60s and ‘70s that you forgot you love,” said Berry. “The songs in this show are all considered to be one-hit wonders, which means they were the single big hit for each band or artist, or the song they are primarily known for. Due to the popularity of these hits back then, many of these songs were subsequently covered by major artists such as Glenn Campbell, Tom Jones, and even Elvis.” Berry listened to these songs growing up and says he was influenced by each and every one chosen for the show. “For so many of us this music

is the soundtrack of our youth,” he said. “This music is what made me want to become a musician.” The idea for the show began to emerge years ago after Berry made a number of trips to Las Vegas to see shows such as Jersey Boys and a tribute called The Beatles Show.

“For so many of us this music is the soundtrack of our youth.” — Rann Berry

“I was looking for an original idea for a show that would feature music from the era I grew up in, and I wanted the show to offer lots of variety,” he said. “The music from The One Hit Wonders has been faithfully reproduced in its original form and we’re all having such a great time working on this. They just don’t write songs like these anymore.” The show is even more of a spectacle as it is presented as a Vegas-style musical tribute featur-

ing dancers and a full eight-piece show band that includes a fourpiece horn section. The One Hit Wonders has also proven to be a hit in the Okanagan. The show premiered to a sold-out audience at the Kelowna Community Theatre, with two stranding ovations, in August 2012 and was brought for an encore sold-out performance on Sept. 21. Earlier this month, The One Hit Wonders performed at the Cleland Theatre in Penticton, once again to a sold-out theatre. Opening for Berry and The One Hit Wonders will be Kelowna comedian Jamie Charest. The show happens at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Saturday at 8 p.m. Tickets are at the Ticket Seller box office. Phone 250-549-7469 or order online at www.ticketseller.ca. -- The Morning Star also has three pairs of tickets for The One Hit Wonders to give away to the first three people who come into The Morning Star’s office at 4407 - 25th Ave. (No sooner than 8:30 a.m. please.) Ask for sales representative Sheryll Bissell.

Ice crackles inside for gallery’s winter exhibit atop Silver Star Morning Star Staff

Anyone who sauntered into the SAGA (Salmon Arm Art Gallery) recently would have seen the ice crackling on the surface of Shuswap Lake. Part of the North Okanagan chapter of the Federation of Canadian Artists’ group exhibition, with the theme Looking In Looking Out, Lavington artist Barry Rafuse’s giant mixed media painting, Fractured Ice, captured many onlookers’ attention, including that of gallery owners Maria and Kalman Molnar. The Molnars, who own Gallery Odin atop Silver Star Mountain, have featured Rafuse’s work many times before, but this week, they are opening a solo exhibition dedicated to the artist. And Fractured Ice will be just one of Rafuse’s large abstracts that will be featured. “I felt privileged to be one of the original artists when Kal and Maria Molnar first established Gallery Odin,” said Rafuse. “I still feel that way. They exhibit a beautiful selection of original art in a stunning home atop Silver Star mountain.” Rafuse, who worked for the B.C. Corrections Branch in Prince George before

Lavington’s Barry Rafuse is showing his bold abstracts in the winter exhibition at Gallery Odin at Silver Star Mountain.

retiring to the Okanagan in 1999, has been painting in his bold, loose style for more than 20 years, but it has been more recently that he has experimented more with abstraction. His work has been exhibited throughout the Okanagan and beyond, and is owned in many private collections. One of his larger canvases now rests inside the Vernon

Performing Arts Centre’s lobby. “Over the years, I have gone from painting traditional landscapes, seascapes and florals to bold abstracts. It has been an expressional journey,” said Rafuse. “Now, I find satisfaction and never ending challenge through abstraction – not an easy task. I strive to paint something different; something which is colourful, bold and thought provoking.” For his exhibition at Odin, Rafuse has been busy preparing new abstract pieces. “I have been using large canvases and working with some new colours, which I believe will make for a dramatic show,” he said. Also opening is an exhibition by another Odin regular, Westside artist Jerry Markham. A representational landscape artist, who works primarily in oils, Markham most recently showed his Chickens for A Cause, a series of avian-influenced paintings to help local poultry farmers with their fight to allow area-raised chickens to be slaughtered and sold locally. Markham has aimed his brush on another part of the world more recently. He and his wife, Leah, a website designer,

recently had the opportunity to travel to Tuscany, Italy to teach a painting workshop, which they will be doing again in 2014. “Painting in Tuscany was an interesting experience that we very much enjoyed,” said Markham. “Everything has a beautiful, warm orange light cast upon it, especially in the evenings, which was a challenge to capture.” Markham, who has been painting for approximately 10 years now, says he will show work from his Tuscany trip as well as a few studio pieces from Italy, the Rocky Mountains, and Western Canada in the Odin exhibition. Also on view will be a series of three figurative works by Lake Country artist Brenda Maunders as well as selected works by other Odin artists.

Artist and his cello sing to Elgar

t Sunday’s symphony concert we heard one of the two greatest cello pieces ever, Sir Edward Elgar’s Cello Concerto. Fourteen years ago OSO conductor and musical director Rosemary Thomson saw 14-year-old Arnold Choi play it, and she’s wanted to perform it with him ever since. He’s already visited Vernon for the Dvořák concerto, and on Sunday, he used a 17th century Stradivarius. For Elgar, this piece represented his despair and disillusionment after the massive losses of the First World War. In contrast with his earlier violin concerto, this meant a major change in style, far removed from his grand depictions of the English way of life, notably the famous pomp and circumstance march, Land of Hope and Glory. Composed immediately after the war, and premiered with Elgar conducting, the concerto suffered from inadequate rehearsal. Yet, Ernest Newman, critic for The Observer, wrote, “The work itself is lovely stuff, very simple

During a recording break, local musicians and crit-

ClassiCal Notes

ics arrived after being told something extraordinary was happening, and after hearing the recording, (Russian cellist Mstislav) Rostropovich apparently removed the piece from his own repertoire. Unlike most concerti this was in four movements, with the first two played as one. Choi’s playing seemed effortless. In the faster moments he tossed out cascading 16th notes, his left hand making incredible leaps on the finger board, and bowing with impossibly rapid repetitions on single notes. But it was the slow (fourth)

movement in which Choi most displayed Elgar’s sadness. Thomson had already talked on stage about “the aching cry of this piece ... the depths of despair.” In this section Elgar could have gone for heavy sentimentality, but his writing was sparing and Choi’s delicacy of playing echoed this. In these subdued moments, a pin dropping could have been heard. The emotion was raw, and it’s rare for me to cry during a concert. Finally the trance was broken and the audience and orchestra collected itself for the final movement. From the age of five, Choi has practised for five hours every day. Thomson speculated he’d already achieved his 10,000 hours when she heard his 14-year-old performance, and she publicly thanked his mother (present on Sunday night) for making him do that. Afterwards, I talked to him about the notion that the cello most approximates the tonal range of the human voice. I asked if he sings to his cello, and he confirmed this, adding, “If I’m not sure how to play a section, I first sing it — my voice is terrible, but it’s just me — and then I know how it has to be played.”

Diverse lineup of authors to read at Vertigo Voices Morning Star Staff

For the last six years, Gallery Vertigo has brought in authors from around the province and across Canada as part of Vertigo Voices. “Vertigo Voices was started by John Lent and other writers in the area as a forum for authors to not only give readings, but to talk about their writing and artistic process,” said Laisha Rosnau, a local novelist and poet who has a writing studio at Gallery Vertigo. “We try to keep it informal, with a lot of back and forth discussion between the authors and the audience.” There are two remaining Vertigo Voices readings. On Thursday, recent Mackie Lake House writers-in-residence, Terry Jordan and Brenda Schmidt, will read. Jordan is an award-winning fiction

writer, essayist and dramatist whose stage plays have been produced across the country. He’ll read from recent work, some created while at Mackie Lake House. Schmidt is a writer, visual artist, naturalist and blogger based in Terry Jordan northern Saskatchewan who has published four books of poetry. Schmidt will be appear via Skype from Saskatchewan to read from Flight Calls, a book of essays that she began during her time as writer-in-residence at Mackie Lake House. On Nov. 29, poets and professors Nancy Holmes and Sonnet L’Abbe will read from their work and discuss the roles that the environment plays in their work and research.

Holmes is the author of five books of poetry, most recently The Flicker Tree: Okanagan Poems and is the editor of Open Wide a Wilderness: Canadian Nature Poems. L’Abbe is the author of two collections of poetry, a book reviewer for The Nancy Holmes Globe and Mail, and her work has been included in Best Canadian Poetry 2009 and 2010 and was shortlisted for the 2010 CBC Literary Award for poetry. Doors to the the Vertigo Voices Reading Series open at 7:30 p.m. and readings begin at 8 p.m. Gallery Vertigo is located at 31-3001-31 St. upstairs. All are welcome, by donation. For more information, call (250) 503-2297.

Tess becomes Trishna For The Morning Star

Following a very successful fall festival, the Vernon Film Society will show Trishna on Monday. The movie, the third in a series of movies adapted from the novels of Thomas Hardy by director and screen writer Michael Winterbottom, is adapted from Hardy’s novel Tess of the D’Urbervilles. Winterbottom has simplified the plot and dropped all references to religion. Perhaps his boldest step is combining the two main male characters of the novel into one person. They become united into Jay Singh (Riz Ahmel), the well-educated son and heir of a wealthy East Indian (Roshan Seth), who made his money in property development in England and is now creating a chain of hotels in former palaces. Winterbottom has turned Tess into Trishna (Freida Pinto of Slum Dog Millionaire fame), a bright teenage peasant girl, whom Hardy referred to as a “pure woman.” We follow her story from leaving her village in Rajasthan to working in smart hotels that offer exotic Indian vacations to Western tourists. She moves on to Mumbai where she briefly attempts to enter the Bollywood film industry. The music throughout the film reflects these changing locales and is a big part of

the appeal of the movie. The tragedy that unfolds offers an insight into the economic structure and hypocrisies of Indian life as the wealthy powerful son seduces the young woman and we see her flee back to her village, where she finds she no longer feels at home, and then attempts to return to Mumbai. Jay, too, feels rootless, caught between his life in England and India. The film ends with Trishna finally asserting herself in a desperate act that inevitably leads to a tragic ending. As critic Philip French states: “Winterbottom sees in India a bustling society much like the rapidly changing England Hardy observed, and in Hardyesque fashion he firmly locates Trishna in this turbulent world. It’s also a society that practises a double standard concerning the behaviours of men and women similar to that of the Victorians, and Winterbottem makes Trishna its passive-aggressive victim.” A colourful exotic trip into a land of contrasts awaits all those who see this outstanding movie. Trishna shows at 5:15 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. Monday at the Vernon Towne Cinema. Tickets are available one week ahead at the Bean Scene and the Towne Cinema box office for $7.

Writer takes a ‘serial’ route

Birkenhead began exploring publishers. Having sent to and being rejected by at least six publishing houses, she began researching the alternative avenue of web and self publishing and came across many companies offering their advice and services, but at a cost. It wasn’t until she stumbled upon a small ad did things change. Only one short month ago Birkenhead received her first letter, or rather e-mail, of acceptance. A Website called Jukepop

Serials has launched an innovative way to bring books and reading to the masses by re inventing the art of serial writing, a format invented in the 17th century to lower the cost of books by having them published in shorter installments. In the mid 18th century such writers as Charles Dickens, Henry James, Harriet Beecher Stowe and Arthur Conan Doyle were first published in serial form. With more than 200 books accepted from novelists around the globe, Jukepop has provided many writers the ability to have their works read by the public at no cost. But the key to the writer’s success is reliant upon readers. There is a prize for those who manage to be in the top 30, as well as the chance to be discovered by a publisher. Birkenhead’s story is the 151st book to be accepted and she has managed to stake her claim in the top 30, shifting between the 18th to 15th positions. But staying there requires more than just the support of her friends and family. So she is asking for the public’s support. The site operates on a simple system.

No one needs special training or even previous experience in singing to find their voice. All that is needed is the heartfelt desire to overcome their reluctance and fear. “The workshop is richly experiential and includes singing techniques, listening exercises and ways for participants to get comfortable with themselves and each other whether singing alone or together. “Singing is also a healing tool. As recently cited in The Globe and Mail, singing strengthens the immune system, improves posture and breath, to say nothing of uplifting the singer through the synergy produced when people join their voices in song.” McIntyre has facilitated this workshop countless times and places. She says she

has learned that the exercises offered in this workshop are equally helpful to established singers as well as to those who believe that they can’t sing.” “What we do in this workshop is to expand the self-imposed limits the participants have placed upon their own voices and themselves. “So sing — sing to hear yourself sing. Sing to pray, to heal. Sing to express the boundless joy that is the gift of life. Sing in the shower, in the car, in groups, by yourself. Just sing. Sing for your life.” Finding Your Own Voice takes place Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in Vernon. To register, e-mail McIntyre at caeli@telus.net or call 250-549-7107.

Morning Star Staff

Born in the Okanagan, Naomi Birkenhead never dreamed of living anywhere else. From the time she was young, Birkenhead knew her purpose in life was to entertain. In 1990 her parents moved Birkenhead and her three sisters from Kelowna to a small farm in Grindrod. There her talent for story telling sprung to life, bringing personality to the many animals the family raised. She never missed an opportunity to act in a church, school or community play. Frequent trips to the library fostered her already wild imagination. Although she was encouraged to put story to paper, Birkenhead struggled to pen her thoughts and ideas. In 2005 while working at a coffee shop in Salmon Arm she met Devin, the man she would marry in May 2006. In August the couple purchased a home in Vernon and by Easter of the following year shared the news they were expecting their first child. Motherhood was an adjustment. Their son afforded them little sleep, but it was this hardship, along with the artwork of her nephews that finally broke the barrier to her inspiration. Drawing on the many facets of her life, from the happy childhood, misguided choices of youth and tragedies that occurred along the way, Birkenhead’s new book, A Sentry Rising, is a depiction of four strangers struggling to co-exist with their clashing personalities and tendencies for distrust while performing their one seemingly simple task, to protect a boy the universe depends on. Completing her book in December 2008,

Workshop helps to find your own voice Morning Star Staff

For those who have always wanted to improve their singing but are sure they can’t, Joan McIntyre wants to prove them wrong. The facilitator of the Finding Your Own Voice workshop said participants will be able to discover the joys of singing with their full and natural voice in just one day. “This is a life-enhancing singing workshop,” said McIntyre. “What must be overcome to reach that joy is the fear participants bring to the class. Many people are dying to sing but stop themselves because of their own or someone else’s past or present judgment. Together, participants are able to leave that fear behind.”

A16 Wednesday November 21, 2012 - The Morning Star

nce upon a time, when I was a young teen, my mom decided we’d all partake in making pull taffy for Christmas. There were seven of us kids at the time, ranging from three years to 13. Everyone got pieces of the warm taffy to pull, twist together, pull some more, until it cooled and came to the proper consistency for snipping. For the life of me I couldn’t fathom what mom was thinking giving it to the “little kids,” as we called them back then, but they were cathi Litzenberger in their glory, licking their little hands for the sweet peppermint flavour, dropping and retrieving it from the floor, and licking a taste when mom wasn’t watching. My pieces finished a nice white in colour; theirs were quite the gray colour, with the odd strand of hair and flecks of god knows what in it. Mom knew the value of making family memories and those little siblings were so happy and proud of themselves when mom snipped their efforts into the bowl with all of the white candy. I only ate one and it was definitely pure white. Christmas will be here before we know it and if you’re planning cookie exchanges or thinking that this year you’d like to do up special homemade gifts of candy or nuts, now is the time to dig out those

family recipes, and shop for nice little containers to package them in. Peanut Brittle 1 cup raw Spanish peanuts 1 cup white sugar 1/2 cup light corn syrup 1/2 cup water 1 teaspoon baking soda Lay out several sheets of foil to spoon the hot peanut brittle onto. In large skillet mix sugar, syrup and water together. Cook at medium-high heat, stirring regularly. Heat until mixture has a hard ball consistency. Heat to 250 to 265 degrees F (121 to 129 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball. If you don’t own a candy thermometer, occasionally hold spoon above mixture, allowing it to drip off spoon. When mixture is at hard ball stage, it will look like a clear spider web when falling off the spoon. Once mixture is at hard ball consistency, add raw peanuts. (They will pop a little.) When mixture starts to turn a light clear-brown, as if it’s starting to burn, remove from stove. Add soda and stir. Mixture will foam up. Spoon out bite-size pieces onto unbuttered foil, stirring constantly between each couple of pieces. Mixture can also be poured onto unbuttered foil as one big piece and broken into smaller pieces once cooled. Old-fashioned Taffy Pull 2-1/2 cups sugar 1-1/2 cups light corn syrup 4 teaspoons white vinegar

1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup evaporated milk Use a candy thermometer for this recipe. For brown sugar candy, substitute 2- 1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar for the white sugar. Mix all ingredients except milk in heavy saucepan over low heat. Stir often until sugar is completely dissolved. Increase heat and bring mixture to boiling. VERY slowly add evaporated milk in a thin stream so boiling does not stop. Put candy thermometer in pan; continue stirring. Cook and stir constantly until mixture reaches 248° (firm ball stage). Dip pastry brush in water and gently brush sides of pan to wash crystals from sides of pan. Do this a few times while candy is cooking. When candy has reached desired temperature, remove from heat, remove thermometer and without scraping sides and bottom of pan, pour mixture onto large platter which has been greased with margarine. Let mixture cool until it is cool enough to handle. Grease your hands with margarine; take small portion of candy and begin pulling. Use only the tips of your fingers to pull. Candy should be white in colour and no longer feel sticky when it has been pulled enough. Twist each pulled strip slightly and place on waxed paper. When all candy is pulled, cut each strip into 1-inch pieces. Wrap each piece in waxed paper and twist ends. You can get special coloured paper for this. Store in a container with a tight fitting cover. Makes about 8 dozen 1-inch pieces.

no results, says B.C. Conservative candidate Scott Anderson. The VernonMonashee candidate says that since the Liberals brought in the new rules in 2007, 900 of the 1,200 local producers have gone out of business. “It seems that every few months a new Liberal MLA pops up and promises action on it, and then nothing happens,” he said. “As early as April of 2008, the farmers of Vernon-Monashee were appealing to the Liberal government to address the deficiencies in the regulations, and the Liberals have been stringing them along with promises of a review. That’s five years of promises and five years of inaction.” Anderson says he is concerned farmers may have been forced to sell meat at the farm gate illegally. “Farmers can’t afford to produce meat the way these regulations stipulate, and I’ve heard rumours that some farmers are simply ignoring the regulations,” he said. Anderson says there is a need for class D licenses to be issued to local farmers of VernonMonashee immediately, and then a more permanent solution that includes the needs of existing meat processors can be found.

News Fruit growers seek new leader judie steeves Black Press

Kelowna grower Fred Steele is the first to be nominated for the position of president of the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association for the coming year. He was nominated in Oliver by growers who are members of the South Okanagan-Similkameen Region, one of four in the Okanagan. Incumbent Kirpal Boparai of Kelowna, who is serving his first year in the president’s position, was not nominated by the 30 or so growers who attended that meeting. However, incumbent vice-president Jeet Dukhia of Vernon was nominated for that position again, but so was former president Joe Sardinhia of Summerland, who stepped down from the executive last year after seven years as president. Boparai’s term has been tumultuous, and has included the major packinghouse co-operative in the valley ousting him for breaking his contract and a resolution approved at the co-op annual general meeting to pressure the BCFGA to remove him from his position. Steele said growers all must work together to solve the problems of the industry. “There’s been too much controversy and we have some big issues we need to concentrate on.” He said the industry needs to work on a good relationship with the co-op packinghouse, B.C. Tree Fruits, governments and everyone connected to the industry. In each of the four regions in the valley, growers meet annually to approve resolutions to go forward to the annual general meeting in January; hear the president’s report; elect regional officers and nominate delegates to the agm and to the BCFGA executive. Boparai did not attend the meeting, so the president’s report was presented by the vice-president. Steele was nominated for president by three regions last year and Boparai by one. BCFGA general manager Glen Lucas explained members can also vote to open the convention floor to nominations during the agm, so regional nominations are just the first step in a complicated election process. All BCFGA members may vote for president and vice-president, with one vote for each legal farm entity. There are currently 602 members. The Kelowna meeting for the Central Okanagan is Wednesday and the North Okanagan region’s meeting is Thursday. The BCFGA convention is in Penticton Jan. 19.

Tambellini six-pack steers Snakes Morning Star Staff

Head coach Jason Williamson thought the final tilt would be the Vernon Vipers’ biggest challenge of a three-game B.C. Hockey League road weekend. It ended up being their only win of the bunch as Vernon parlayed a six-point night by centre Adam Tambellini into a 7-5 win over the Coquitlam Express Sunday afternoon at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre. The road swing must have felt a little like Planes, Trains & Automobiles for Williamson’s crew, who were delayed twice Saturday – once by the ferry crossing from Powell River to Vancouver Island, and again by a highway accident – only to fall 2-0 to the Alberni Valley Bulldogs that night. “It’s definitely an interesting weekend,” said Williamson, noting the 8-9-0-6 Vipers didn’t roll into the hotel in Parksville until midnight after facing the 12-9-0-4 Dawgs. They had to rise at 6:30 a.m. to get back to the Mainland for the matinee. “I thought Sunday might be the toughest one to win.” Tambellini scored the first of his three goals – he is second in league scoring with 15-15-30 in 23 games – on the game’s first shot against the 11-11-1 Express. However, Coquitlam also scored on their first shot on Austin Smith by John Siemer (12th goal), and pulled ahead on their sixth, a powerplay marker by Philip Zielonka (8th) at 7:10. “From their sixth shot on goal that went in the net, they didn’t have one shot for 29 minutes and seven seconds,” said Williamson. “When you don’t give up a shot in 29 minutes, that’s a pretty good team effort.” Aaron Hadley (7th), who ended the night with 1+2, counted the first of four straight man-advantage goals for the Snakes at 11:13. Tambellini and Pearce Eviston, with two, had the others.

Hockey League action Sunday afternoon at Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre. “We tweaked it (powerplay) a bit going into Sunday’s game and they made some plays,” said Williamson. “They (Tambellini and Eviston) were always setting each other up.” Smith’s save percentage then took a beating as the Express converted their seventh, eighth and ninth shots – Mitchell Frye (3rd), Brandon Morley (1st) and Alex Kerfoot (7th) – to

tie the game 30 seconds into the third period. Tambellini restored the lead at 2:22, and Eviston (8th) buried an empty-netter to give Smith (14 saves) his sixth win. Cole Huggins (18 saves) was relieved by Daniel Urbani (19 saves) early in the second period.

Cotter crew collects $11K payday Morning Star Staff/Sportsnet

anil Mungal/SPoRtSnet

Vernon skip Jim Cotter yells instructions at his sweepers during the finals of The Rogers Masters in Brantford, Ont.

Jim Cotter had a few quick postgame beverages with the boys and then caught a ride to the airport for the flight home to Vernon. Others might have had a night on the town after winning $11,000, but it’s a levelheaded approach that helped his rink earn the money to begin with. Cotter’s Vernon-Kelowna foursome of third Jason (Gunner) Gunnlaugson, second Ty Griffith and lead Rick Sawatsky, turned in a runner-up performance in an ultra-talented field at the $100,000 Rogers Masters of Curling Grand Slam, falling 7-5 to Calgary’s Kevin Koe Sunday in Brantford, Ont. “It was huge for us, especially with our start there,” said Cotter, a 38-yearold computer programmer. “To start 0-2 and get on a roll showed a lot of character for our team.

“We’re just thrilled with the direction the team is heading. We all get along so well and take a similar approach to the game and try to keep that even-keel approach, and it seems to work well for us.” Cotter struck first in the final, counting a deuce in the opening end, but Koe responded with his own deuce and a force in the third end. After a blank in the fourth end, a Cotter misstep opened the door to a Koe three-ender and a 5-3 lead. Koe stole the next end, but Cotter responded with his second pair of the match to cut the lead to 6-5. In the final end, Cotter’s last-ditch come-around touched the four-foot, but Koe drew towards the button for the win. “They’re playing at an extremely high level right now,” said Gunnalaugson, of

Jugs of

Koe’s rink. “You know going in you’re going to have to be at your best to have a chance. We came out sharp but in the second four ends we didn’t execute like we wanted.” Up next for Cotter’s crew is the Canadian Open of Curling, featuring yet another $100,000 purse, Dec. 12-16, at Prospera Place in Kelowna. Cotter is looking forward to not having to reset his watch for this one. “We’re used to traveling across the country, but it’s expensive on a tight budget for us,” he said. “And to get the chance to play in front of family and friends is always fun.” Gunnlaugson, who works with father-in-law and former world champion Garry VanDenBerghe at Knifeless Tech Systems, says the event is a huge opportunity for Okanagan curling fans.

Koe tops moneylist Continued from A27

“You get to see the absolute best people playing this sport in your backyard.” Koe pocketed $20,000 Sunday to pad their World Curling Tour money list lead with more than $84,000. Cotter has reached the playoffs in four of six World tour events so far this season. They were semifinalists last week in Swan River, Man. “Our goal was to keep on improving and moving in the direction we want to be...and that trip out east was a big step for our team,” said Sawatsky. “It seemed like all our opponents were getting all the breaks (in the first two games), and then we got a break or two and then all four guys started rolling. It’s easy when you’re winning, but you measure a team when they’re not doing so well.”

Panthers brush off Maroons Lakers take Valley AA title with sweep of Sabres Morning Star Staff

There was one title still to be won at the aging Panther Pit before an upcoming demolition. The VSS Panthers made history of sorts by earning the last Okanagan Valley championship in the old East Hill gym Saturday. Keith Becker’s Cats brushed back the Fulton Maroons 3-1 (25-20, 25-21, 21-25, 25-16) in Saturday’s final of the six-team playdowns. The Panthers will play in the B.C. Senior AAA Girls Volleyball Championships, Nov. 28-Dec. 1 at Crofton House and Little Flower Academy in Vancouver. Some sweet setting from Mary Rice and Hannah Nesbitt pushed the Panthers past Fulton in a tough opening set. VSS then parlayed some solid hitting from outside hitters Searra Becker and Danika Damini in set two glory. Fulton’s strong, scrappy defence and lightning quick attacks from captain Hanna Ouchi and big back-row hits from power Jackie Banks gave the Maroons the third set. The Panthers were very strong in set four, and with some brilliant blocking from right side Sage Blundell and Shayne Pol, stopped the big smashes from the Maroons’ outside hitters. “It was not our sharpest performance as a team versus VSS,” said Fulton coach Sharon Shaigec. “We struggled at the service line and our very average team serve receive made it tough for veteran Fulton setter Danielle Olson to run our attack. Great crowd support on both sides of the gym, though.” Local all-stars were Ouchi and Nesbitt, while tourney MVP was Avery Bridge of VSS. “The girls all played very well this weekend,” said Becker. “The girls have had a great seaFlyers, Coupons, Hot Deals son this year, and have consistently been the highest-placing AAA TWITTER PARTY ALERT! team in every tournament they have played Thursday, Nov. 22, 2012 #BlackFridayFL in, and are currently 7-9 PM EST going into provincials ranked fourth.” BONUS: Sneak Peak at Cyber Monday Deals VSS opened play Saturday by sweeping the Pleasant Valley Saints of Armstrong 25-7, 25-11 and dispatching the Seaton Sonics 25-10, 25-8 before stuffing the Kamloops Saints 2-0 in the semifinals.

Fulton iced the NorKam Saints 25-20, 25-18 and grounded the Okanagan Mission Huskies in pool play before sweeping Seaton 25-16, 25-17 in the semis. The Maroons will now play in a three-team wildcard playoff Saturday at their home gym to play for a second provincial berth. Fulton takes on the Rick Hansen Hurricanes of Abbotsford at 10 a.m. with the Canes meeting the Sentinel Wildcats of Slocan at 11:30 a.m. The Maroons and Sentinel battle in the 1 p.m. match. The Kalamalka Lakers brushed off the Sa-Hali Sabres 3-0 (25-23, 25-15, 26-24) in Saturday’s thrilling final of the Valley Senior AA Girls playdowns in Kamloops. Kaelyn Johnson kept the Lakers in the match with several blocks and hits. The first set saw the Lakers build a five-point lead before the Sabres levelled the set at 23-23. Daralyn Schepp, who had several mammoth kills all weekend, crushed one crosscourt to help win the first set. The second set was all about Laker hustle with Vicki Schley diving all over the floor picking up balls that seemed impossible to retrieve. She also pounded some nice line shots. Johnson played a strong set passing in the back row. In the final set, Sam Bienias found her passing groove to set up a potent attack from Kaelyn Parmelee. Johnson, Emily Thorlakson and Ann Stewart made several blocks slowing down the Sabres offence. Megan Squair did a fantastic job at distributing the ball to the right people at the right time. She even had a timely block. Schepp came up huge at 24-24 when she killed a line shot. “The Lakers put together their best volleyball of the year with great focus and determination,” said coach Jeff Huggins.

Royals advance to provincial A tourney

Meanwhile, the Vernon Christian Royals lost in straight sets (25-17, 25-11, 25-16) to Kelowna Christian Knights at the Valley Senior A Boys championships. In pool play, the Royals swept the host Clearwater Raiders 25-17, 25-18, before losing to the Knights 25-18 and 25-17 before icing the Chase Trojans 25-11, 25-16. The Royals came out with aggressive serving and solid passing to defeat the Raiders 25-18, 25-16 in the semifinals. Outside hitter Ryan Price counted four service aces in the opening set, while middle Travis Hoogland dominated the net in the second set with four kills and three blocks. Zac Dubland and Sam Koch shared setter and right side attack duties all weekend and played solid, allowing outside hitters Price and Reuben Smid do the damage. Middle Adam Ensing racked up three solo blocks against the Raiders and Trojans in the round-robin, while Dubland had seven service aces on the weekend. Koch finished the tourney with 21 kills before bowing out in the final with an ankle injury. Hoogland supplied 25 kills Coaches Chris Bannick and Dwayne Remple

The Royals are ranked seventh going into the B.C. playdowns this weekend in Kelowna. The Vernon Christian Royals took fourth place at the Okanagan Valley Senior A Girls Volleyball Championships Saturday in Enderby. The Royals finished third in pool play and then crossed over and outlasted the St. Ann’s Crusaders of Kamloops 2-0 (26-24, 25-17) in the quarterfinals. “We knew that we had to win this match to earn at least a half berth to provincials,” said Vernon coach Jason Reedyk. “The girls rose to the occasion and played some of their best volleyball of the season.” The Royals played a spirited semifinal match against Kelowna Christian, but fell 25-10, 25-10, 25-4. Vernon Christian then battled fatigue in losing 25-11, 25-5 to Keremeos in the bronze-medal match. The Royals now travel to Fernie on Saturday for a B.C. challenge match.

Tie for Vernon

Continued from A27

Tryg Strand, scoring on a second-period powerplay goal, and Ryan Lough provided the offence for Alberni Valley in Saturday night’s game, which was delayed 45 minutes due to the Vipers’ travel mishaps. Jay Deo recorded 39 saves for his first shutout of the season and first star, while Vernon’s Danny Todosychuk took third star for his 34-save showing. “Danny’s been good since we brought him back (from KIJHL Golden Rockets),” said Williamson. “It might have been the best thing for him, a little bit of a wake-up call.

Sun Valley turned the heat up in the third period, outshooting OHA 25-3, but only getting the equalizer from Williamson. Reed Cashato provided leadership through hard hits and hustle on every shift.

Buzzell backing Knights

‘Stangs earn Tier 1 split Continued from A29

Morning Star Staff

Two starts. Two wins. Newly acquired goalie Austin Buzzell has boosted the North Okanagan Knights out of the doldrums in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. The 19-year-old Calgary product registered 38 saves as the Knights clipped the Castlegar Rebels 4-3 in overtime Sunday afternoon at NorVal Sports Centre. Buzzell, who earned one win in his only appearance with the Junior A Yorkton Terriers earlier this season, was especially busy in the first period when the Rebels outshot the Knights 15-6. Mat Lambert scored twice for the Knights (he has 11 on the year) before Hunter Jenerous netted a powerplay goal with 41 seconds left in the first period. Stuart Walton levelled things for Castlegar four minutes into the second period with his 15th of the season. Morgan Johnston of the Knights

Derek Andrews, on a assist to Johnston, recorded the overtime snipe 17 seconds into the extra period. The Rebels outshot the Knights 41-25 with Connor Beachamp going the distance for Castlegar. “He (Buzzell) played extremely well for us on the weekend (Knights beat Osoyoos 7-2 Friday night),” said Knights’ head coach Kris Mallette. “He’s making big saves and the guys are feeding off those saves.” North Okanagan improved to 16-7-0-1, good for top spot in

the Doug Birks Division of the Okanagan/Shuswap Conference. The Knights host the Okanagan Division-leading Princeton Posse (14-6-0-1) Friday night (7:30) and then entertain the Sicamous Eagles (13-5-2-3) in a Sunday matinee (2:00). The Eagles are two points back of the Knights. Rookie forward Mac Ferner of the Knights celebrated his 17th birthday Tuesday. Meanwhile, Vernon’s Conrad McMillan blocked 37 shots as the Revelstoke Grizzlies tied the Chase Heat 4-4 Saturday night at the Forum. Dominick Hodges of the Heat pocketed the equalizer with 29 seconds to play.

The Watkin Motors Pee Wee Tier 1 Mustangs went 2-2 and finished fifth in a Penticton tournament. After opening with a 5-1 loss to West Kelowna (goal by Dawson Chase), the Mustangs stopped Semiahmoo Ravens of White Rock 3-1 on goals by Joe Eggert (assists to CJ Storey, Powell Connor), Storey (Eggert) and Rowan Miller (Caden Bracken). Chase pulled the hat trick and Miller and Coleton Bilodeau each bagged a deuce as the Mustangs then mauled the Spokane Jr. Chiefs 11-4. Colton SchaperKotter, Eggert, Mika Burns and Keeghan McRae added singles. Vernon iced the Seafair Islanders of Richmond 7-0 for fifth place. Burns pulled the hat trick, while Eggert, Bracken, Damien Coljee-Fehr and Bilodeau supplied singles. Goalies Jordan Wilde and Logan Higgs were consistent all weekend. The Chase Broncos bounced the North Okanagan Knights 11-4 in Pee Wee Tier 4 action Sunday at Nor-Val Sports Centre. Wesley Graves (2), Bryan Brew and Matt Dolinar scored for the Knights. In Female Rep hockey, the Sladen Moore Bantam A Lakers

shut out Kelowna 3-0 and bowed 2-0 to the league-leading Salmon Arm Midget Silvertips. Jenna Fletcher (2) and Paige Chapdelaine scored in front of a solid Bailey Berndt versus Kelowna. Maya Baker was sensational with a 45-save showing against the Tips. The Vernon H&L Glass Wolfpack blitzed the Winfield Bruins 13-3 Saturday morning and crushed the Kelowna Hawks 7-1 Sunday afternoon in Atom Development action. Ben King counted 3+2 and Steel Quiring also had a hat trick Saturday. Logan Chapdelaine (2+1), Trevor Kennedy (1+2), Lucas Zubrod (1+2), Tanner Brown and Anne Cherkowski completed the offence. King had four goals Sunday with singles coming from Jaxxon Collard, Brown and Chapdelaine as the Wolfpack improved to 8-0 in league play. The Valley Wood Venom resumed their road warrior ways by grounding the Kelowna Legends 5-1 for their sixth straight away win.

UBC nursing students have united with a Vernon high school to raise global health awareness. Nursing students from UBC’s Okanagan campus have partnered with the Students Without Borders Academy (SWBA) program at Kalamalka Secondary to help Grade 11 and 12 students learn about global health issues. Kalamalka students are planning a trip to Panama to turn knowledge into action, thanks to the UBC students. But before they head out, the high school students have planned several local fundraisers to help them spread their knowledge in Panama. SWBA students have organized a Vernon’s Got Talent show for Dec. 7, a formal charity banquet on Nov. 23, and a benefit concert in downtown Vernon Nov. 30. One hundred per cent of proceeds will go directly to SWBA efforts in Panama. High school teacher Dave Fehr recently welcomed UBC nursing students Amanda Fehr, Ashlyn McAmmond, and Melissa Stoesz into his classroom to teach the SWBA students about the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) put forth by the United Nations in 2000. The MDGs are eight international development goals that the United Nations, and at least 23 other international organizations, have agreed to achieve by the year 2015. They include eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, reducing child mortality rates, improving maternal health, and combating HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases. “Including the student nurses in the Students Without Borders Academy classroom sessions provided a new perspective to the Millennium Development Goals,” said Dave Fehr. “The health care lens through which they created their lessons added a real-world heartbeat to a potentially academic process.” Fehr, McAmmond and Stoesz developed learning modules about the MDGs and engaged with the high school students over 12 weeks to teach them the basics of global poverty, inequity, and inequality. SWBA students will be applying the classroom lessons to real-life situations during a month-long school trip to Panama this January, where they will take part in development projects, experience Indigenous Panamanian culture, and donate muchneeded school supplies to local children. “Our goal has been to share our knowledge of global health issues with these students so that when they travel to Panama they will be more aware of barriers to equity and equality and better understand ways these barriers can be removed,” said Amanda Fehr. “The SWBA students have welcomed us into their process of organizing large fundraisers. Money raised will go to provide an improved education experience for Panamanian children. It is great to see such young leaders organizing meaningful events for the betterment of others.”

COLUMBIA SHUSWAP REGIONAL DISTRICT NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING PROPOSED: SALMON VALLEY LAND USE AMENDMENT (CSRD) BYLAW NO. 2547 TAKE NOTICE that in accordance with the Local Government Act the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (“Regional District”) will hold a PUBLIC HEARING regarding proposed Salmon Valley Land Use Amendment (CSRD) Bylaw No. 2547. The Board of Directors of the Regional District has delegated the public hearing to Director Rene Talbot as Director of Electoral Area ‘D’, being that in which the land concerned is located, or Alternate Director Joy De Vos if Director Rene Talbot is absent. At the public hearing those persons who believe their interest in property is affected by the proposed bylaws will have a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the bylaws. The Board of the Regional District will not consider any verbal or written representations or submissions after the public hearing. Please be advised that written submissions received will be available to the public and the applicant. Written submissions will be received in the Regional District Offices until 4 p.m. on Tuesday November 27th, 2012 or may be submitted until the close of the public hearing. LOCATION AND DATE OF HEARING: The public hearing will be held on Wednesday, November 28th, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. and will be held at the Silver Creek Community Hall, 3048 Hornsberger Rd., Silver Creek, BC. PURPOSE OF BYLAW NO. 2547: Development Services Staff is proposing text amendments to the Salmon Valley Land Use Bylaw No. 2500 that will define and regulate composting. New definitions for organic matter and organic matter composting facility will provide clarification and help staff provide advice to property owners and residents of Salmon Valley in regard to large-scale composting. Bylaw No. 2547 proposes the following definitions: “Organic Matter means materials that are suitable for composting, including: animal bedding; brewery/winery waste; fish waste; food waste; hatchery waste; manure, milk processing waste; plant matter; poultry carcasses; red meat waste; untreated and unprocessed wood residuals; whey; and yard waste, unless excluded by Provincial or Federal enactments or orders that prohibit or restrict composting or composting methods.” “Organic Matter Composting Facility means a facility that imports organic matter and produces more than 20 m³ of compost product per year to be sold and/or utilized off-site or off-farm.” Bylaw No. 2547 proposes adding regulations for Organic Matter Composting Facilities and to add “organic matter composting facility” as a permitted use in Section 2.13 the Agricultural Processing Zone. Bylaw No. 2547 also proposes to replace the existing Section 3.2.8 Violation with the following: Every person who: 1. Contravenes this bylaw; or 2. Causes or permits any act or thing to be done in contravention of this bylaw; or 3. Neglects or omits to do any act or thing required by this bylaw; or 4. Fails to comply with an order, direction or notice given under this bylaw, or prevents or obstructs or attempts to obstruct the authorized entry of an officer onto the property under Section 3.2.7; a. may be issued a ticket for any offence against this Bylaw that has been designated as a ticketable offence pursuant to the Regional District’s municipal ticket information bylaw; and b. is liable, upon conviction to the penalties prescribed by the Offence Act (British Columbia). The above is a general description of Bylaw No. 2547. The bylaw may have an impact on property owners and tenants in occupation within the area. It is therefore important for all property owners and tenants in occupation to inform themselves fully as to the nature and effect of the bylaw. INSPECTION OF DOCUMENTS: Copies of the Salmon Valley Land Use Bylaw No. 2500 and amending Bylaw No. 2547 and all reports, plans and other documents that have been or will be considered by the Board of the Regional District will be available for inspection at the office of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, 781 Marine Park Drive, NE, Salmon Arm, BC, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., beginning Friday November 16th, 2012 and ending Tuesday November 27th, 2012 but excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. This notice is issued by Scott Beeching, Senior Planner II, Development Services, Columbia Shuswap Regional District. The mailing address for Mr. Beeching is Columbia Shuswap Regional District, PO Box 978, Salmon Arm, BC, V1E 4P1. Telephone: 1-250-833-5930; Fax: 1-250-832-3375; Toll Free (BC only) 1-888-248-2773.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder A MONTHLY MAGAZINE FROM ACROSS THE POND Bridge Magazine from England is our game’s oldest, having started in May 1926. (The Bridge World, which began in October 1929, has had more issues because it was published throughout World War II.) It is aimed at tournament players but has a lot of instructive material, as well as two readers’ competitions with voucher prizes. This deal comes from Julian Pottage’s monthly defense quiz. To test yourself, look at only the North and East hands and the auction. South is in three diamonds. West leads the heart king. What should East do? North is a tad too strong

to overcall one no-trump, but it is very close. After he doubles and South advances with two diamonds (showing zero to 8 points), it is best to raise to three diamonds, which promises a very strong hand, with perhaps 18 to 20 high-card points, and announces that game is still possible. The first deduction East should make is that South must have the club ace or king. If West had both of those cards, he would have led the club ace, not the heart king. So West must have the diamond ace. Given that, East can see four defensive tricks: two hearts, one diamond and one club. The only chance to defeat the contract is to score a second trump trick. East

must overtake with his heart ace and return his second heart. Then, when West leads a third heart, East ruffs with the diamond seven. South overruffs and plays a trump, but West wins and leads another heart, which East ruffs with the diamond eight. The club king sets the contract a moment later.

We have been hearing that the Government has made it tougher to borrow money. How does that affect someone buying a home?

The Bank of Canada issued a new guideline (B20) to all Regulated Lenders in Canada that loan funds to clients. There is now a standard ruling for Mortgages, Home Equity lines of credits and loans. The new Guideline also suggested that Lenders look at their overall Lending Policies to ensure there were measurements of risk in place. What we are now seeing is that the individual Lender policy is changing and may now be very different than another Lender’s policy. The best option for anyone buying a home is to use the services of a Licensed Mortgage Broker. We have access to a variety of Lenders, and if one lender chooses not to help, we will have the ability to work with another one right away. (This is not the case if you are dealing with a single Financial Institution with one set of requirements). Remember, Mortgage Brokers are independent of any Financial Institution and have the ability to save you a lot of time researching your options. All you will need to do is to collect your income information and give us a call. OAC /E&O accepted.

Q: A:

Will the world end December 21st?

No. The idea of the world ending on December 21st is a misunderstanding of the calendar created by the ancient Maya civilization. December 2012 marks their conclusion of a b’ak’tun, which is simply a period of time. Now all calendars work off Astrology, and everything is cyclic; remember the earth is round and is in constant revolution around the sun. This December the present cycle ends and a new one begins; this creates a shift in energy. 2012 has a yang water dragon in charge and yang water is oceans, and the dragon can be fierce. The theory is that the earth will move, and in turn move the oceans. The world will not end, however, it is probable that water issues will ‘arise’ around December 17 – 24. Just remember this: if you intend to Christmas shop with your visa and think you won’t have to pay the bill in January… think again…

Home Checking Services

Q: A:

I’m going away for an extended period. What do I need to know about having my home looked after while I’m away? Insurance companies require that homes be checked regularly. Otherwise, your insurance coverage may be invalid. Check with your insurance broker to find out how often your home must be checked to ensure your coverage remains in force. This varies among companies - from weekly to every 3-4 days. In some cases, turning off the water will extend the time between mandatory checks. You can sometimes arrange for family & friends to look after your home, but insurance adjusters prefer regular documented checks made by a reputable professional home supervision company. Comfort Home Supervision Services will draw up a list with you of checks to be made in your home while you are away. We also document each visit with time-dated photographs of all key rooms. In the event of a disaster, these photographs are evidence of the condition of your home taken within days or even hours. We can also arrange other services such as snow removal & minor home repairs.

Q: A:

I have a home that is about 30 years old. I have noticed that in the cooler months I get a lot of condensation on my windows, & now I a noticing ‘black mold’ on the window sills. What should I do, & is there need for alarm?

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

What’s one of the most common questions asked when people call for help for a family member?

We often get calls about a senior having difficulty taking their medication. They ask if we can go in and make sure blister packs are followed and medications are taken correctly. This is a necessary task, but just doing that does not treat the whole person. If someone is having difficulty taking medication there is most likely other issues and we’d only be treating the symptom, not the problem. Companionship and a good listening ear, some help around the home, an outing to shop, a home cooked meal and some individual portions for another time are some of the ways we make lives better. Do you know someone who we could help today?

With a little planning, some funding and a good working partnership, more is being done in Lake Country to link neighbourhoods to schools and parks. Planning of the Quail Trail began as a result of park land dedication through the townhouse development on Quail Road. “There are a lot of

young people that walk from the Copperhill and Clearwater neighbourhoods to George Elliot Secondary School daily,” said Greg Buchholz, Lake Country’s operations manager. “Having a good system of safe walkways, trails and sidewalks is crucial to our goal of connecting neighbourhoods to schools and parks. The Quail Trail now connects about 535 households to the recently updated Lodge Road transportation corridor.” The Rotary Club of Lake Country has initially donated $5,000 to the project and Walk Around Lake Country volunteers worked along with Rotary, District of Lake Country staff and businesses to complete the project. A new trail-level rail crossing has been arranged through Knighthawk (Kelowna Pacific Railway) to complete this project and district staff are working to extend a safe walkway from the east end of the new Lodge Road pathway to the rail crossing.
