mentation process,” he said. “Westside Road is in need of upgrading over the next years and the Ministry of Transportation has a plan in place.” Edgson also gives the ministry credit for improving communication with residents. “We have seen a ramp-up in the ministry informing us of their plans,” he said. The current project will include realignment of 280 metres of narrow twolane road with two inferior curves and the replacement of a Cinnabar Creek culvert. Paving is due to be completed by April, with the entire project done by May. “These projects will make a significant difference for drivers,” said WestsideKelowna MLA Ben Stewart. “The demands of a fast-growing community have taken their toll on infrastructure designed for far fewer people. We’ve announced positive and decisive steps to correct that.”

With some Greater Vernon residents starting to ask questions, promotion of a proposed sports complex is being kicked up a notch. The Regional District of North Okanagan has added a page to its website that it is dedicated to the April referendum that would see $8.5 million borrowed for a running track and sports field next to Okanagan College. “Every citizen will have access to this,” said Patrick Nicol, chairperson. While officials have been attending special community events, it was decided to post details online so there can be a more immediate relationship Bob Fleming with residents. “We are responding as we receive questions,” said Tannis Nelson, community development co-ordinator. Among the issues discussed on the website are the reasons for a facility and the impact on households if $8.5 million is borrowed during an April referendum. “We have been thorough about breaking it (cost) down,” said Nelson, adding that the website provides a calculator so each property can determine how they will be impacted by the referendum. The website also includes a concept plan with a 3D interpretation of the facility. “Being able to have the fly-over view is really good,” said director Bob Fleming. It’s expected that other avenues of providing details to residents will be considered as the April vote draws near. “We’re early in the process but appropriate information is necessary,” said director Rob Sawatzky. “People can’t make an informed decision without the information being available.” Sports complex details can be found at www. rdno.ca/communitysportsfacility.

The event was hosted by B.C.’s newly appointed Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon. Jacobson was given a Meritorious Service award for his dedication while offduty in rendering first aid to a seriously

RogeR Knox Morning Star Staff

A Supreme Court judge will rule this morning on the admissibility of a Crown witness’ video statement he gave to police the morning after his brother-in-law allegedly struck a pedestrian in Coldstream with his car. Frank Cole will rule on the video statement given by Nick Hlina at 9 a.m. Hlina is a witness for the Crown in the case against Chase Garett Donaldson, who is charged with one count of criminal negligence causing death and one count of failing to stop at an accident causing bodily harm in connection with the death on April 30, Carlson 2010 of Kiera-Leigh Carlson, 22. Crown lawyer Iain Currie was questioning Hlina about the speed of the vehicles Hlina and Donaldson were driving at around 8:30 p.m. on Aberdeen Road on April 30, 2010. After noticing discrepancies between testimony Hlina gave in court and on the video statement to police, Currie called for Hlina’s entire video statement to be admitted into the proceedings, drawing an sobjection from defence lawyer Paul Danyliu. As the trial was slated to have an off-day Thursday, Cole agreed to deliver his ruling today. Hlina is the final Crown witness in the trial, which is slated to wrap up Tuesday. Witnesses earlier in the trial reported narrowly escaping contact in their car with a vehicle driving into the wrong lane on Aberdeen Road.

The man found laying on the side of a North Okanagan highway earlier this month has died. John Thomas, 59, of Enderby, died Nov. 19. Thomas was found shortly before 8:30 p.m. of Nov. 9 on the side of Highway 97A suffering from injuries that police believe appear to be the result of a hit-and-run accident. “The investigation into this accident is continuing,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “Several people have been interviewed around the events of this case.” The police are again asking anyone who might know anything about this accident or were in the area and saw a man hitchhiking around this time to please contact them. The file is being investigated by Trans Canada East Traffic Services and it can be reached at 250805-2111.

Recently archeological work as part of the highway construction has revealed numerous aboriginal artifacts near Wood Lake. “The name recognizes the First Nations as the first ones here,” said Mayor James Baker. It’s anticipated that parks and other features along the old highway may also use First Nations names. Council had narrowed the choices down from 160 submissions to three based on public feedback, historical naming by aboriginal inhabitants of the area, a corridor theme for future parks, and naming conflict with other jurisdictions. The other names considered were Lake Country Parkway and Wood Lake Parkway.

UBCO wastewater study causes concern “Those altered genes are a concern.”

— Bruce Mathieson sion of these bio-markers for estrogen, but in MacKay Reservoir the males also have those bio-markers. “Those altered genes are of concern. It’s hard to predict what other changes are being made,” he commented. It’s the type of alteration that is typical of endocrine disruption, he explained. Endocrine disruptors such as estrogenic compounds can mimic female hormones in male fish, he said. In fact, it has been known to result in male fish that produce both sperm and eggs, he said. Estrogenic compounds can act at very low concentrations, he noted. However, the expectation is that they will break down over time. Limnologist Jeff Curtis has been work-

ing for several years on an investigation of receiving waters for the Okanagan’s wastewater treatment plants for chemicals which are not removed during treatment, but which can have an impact on aquatic life in very low concentrations, such as estrogenic compounds. He says he has found that luckily the loss rates of estrogen are fairly quick, through degradation or adsorption in the waters where they are released. That includes Okanagan Lake for Kelowna’s treatment plant and the MacKay Reservoir for Vernon’s facility and the Okanagan River for Penticton’s. However, because of the volume of water in

Police continue to investigate a two-vehicle accident in Vernon. A white Nissan pickup truck collided with a logging truck at about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday at 35th Avenue and 32nd Street. “The Nissan sustained significant front-end damage,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. It’s alleged the incident occurred when the eastbound Nissan didn’t stop at a stop sign on 35th Avenue and struck the passenger side of the logging truck on 32nd Street. There were no substantial injuries among the driver and passengers of the Nissan. The investigation remains underway. “Officers are investigating the possibility of alcohol,” said Molendyk.

All of his work is preliminary at this stage, with more data needed to answer questions and fill in the gaps, he emphasized. Since it’s impossible to remove everything from treatment plant effluent, it’s important to figure out what compounds and chemicals are the important ones

University of B.C. Okanagan scientists who have been studying the impacts of estrogenic compounds in wastewater from sewage treatment plants in the Okanagan have found that male goldfish in a treated effluent reservoir are becoming feminized. Biologist Bruce Mathieson has been collecting fish and water samples from Vernon’s MacKay Reservoir the past two years, as well as fish and water samples from a similar-sized pond just a few kilometres away s— one fed by natural runoff and rainwater. The reservoir holds treated effluent from a wastewater treatment plant, prior to it being used to irrigate grazing lands and golf courses south of Vernon. Mathieson detected the changes in the male fish using molecular biology to study genes in the fish that are estrogen-dependent. “I expected females to have a higher expres-

Okanagan Lake there’s less impact immediately in that body of water. He is concerned that there will be an emerging contaminant that doesn’t lose its effectiveness over time, and which eludes current treatment technology. Because the turnover rate for water in the big lake is 60 years, such a compound could accumulate there over time. The reservoir is a good place to look, so he intends to screen for compounds from pharmaceuticals and personal care products in the treated effluent, where the levels would be higher and easier to detect. Mathieson says they have also noticed that the goldfish in the MacKay Reservoir are 10 times larger than those in the control pond, but he doesn’t know whether that’s because they’re older age classes, but he’ll be looking into that over the winter.

A hidden crime

ore and more recently, stories about women being blindly drugged, with the intent of being sexually assaulted, have come to my attention. It’s frightening to know that such horrific events are happening – that there are men out there (for the most part) slipping mind-altering drugs into unsuspecting women’s drinks. These ‘date rape drugs’ (GHB, Rohypnol and ketamine) debilitate women to the point that they know not what they do, and therefore may fall victim to predators. It’s pretty pathetic when a guy is so desperate to gain intimacy from a girl that he resorts to drugging her. Jennifer Smith As sick as it is, the use of date rape drugs is nothing new. For decades, predators have used not only the above-mentioned drugs, but also alcohol and other illegal drugs to incapacitate women. It’s called drug facilitated sexual assault (DFSA). There is no way to know how often DFSA occurs, because many victims never report it. But the fact is, it is happening. And it’s not just taking place across the border and in bigger centres like Vancouver. It’s happening right here in our ‘little’ community. “There have been rumours it’s in the city,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson for the North Okanagan. “But I have not heard of it recently. “That’s not to say there isn’t a little bit but it hasn’t come to our attention.” Along with the shame and guilt that may prevent a victim from coming forward, most incidents are not reported because it can be virtually impossible for a victim to prove that

At rAndoM

they were administered a date rape drug. By the time they are coherent and realize that something may have happened, the drug may have left their system, making it undetectable at the hospital. But that’s not to say women shouldn’t get checked out if they believe they have been a victim of DFSA. Another reason reports of the drug use aren’t being made to officials is because women are outsmarting their potential predators. In all of the recent cases I’ve heard about, women have been drugged but thanks either to luck or some good friends keeping an eye on them, they avoided sexual assault. Because they escaped the unthinkable, they don’t bother reporting the fact that someone drugged them. While it’s unfortunate that incidents of date rape drugs being used aren’t being reported to the RCMP, it is re-assuring to know that more women are managing to escape the potential for some frightening outcomes. I would assume it’s because more women are educated about the risks of going out, whether it be to a bar or a party. They go in groups, they watch their drinks closely (and their friend’s drinks) and they make sure that they don’t leave with strangers. And it’s a tip local RCMP continue to offer to women, and men. “Everybody should be careful and take those precautions,” said Molendyk. Having been personally administered the date rape drug years ago while out at a Kelowna nightclub, I can tell you I still don’t remember what happened that night. But thanks to some good friends watching out for me, and getting me home safely, I avoided becoming a victim. I just hope that today’s youth have a similar circle of friends they too can trust to keep them safe.

There was a lot of celebrating around the Regional District of North Okanagan board chambers Wednesday. A memorandum of understanding was inked between Vernon, Coldstream and the two electoral areas on a restructured parks system. Obviously optimism is natural as a dispute has waged for years, diverting resources away from other issues. But declaring victory may be premature as a number of critical steps must occur first. Specifically, Vernon and Coldstream councils must ratify the tentative agreement, and it’s anticipated that the city could prove challenging. Already some councillors are questioning plans to revert ownership of Kal Beach from the city to the regional district, while others are unsure about the city taking on 10 RDNO lots on Lakeshore Road because some could ultimately be developed instead of being preserved as beach. Vernon representatives were at the negotiating table but they must now convince their council colleagues that the compromises made are in the best interest of their constituents. If one municipal council demands changes to the MOU, the whole process may unravel and the conflict could heat up again. And even if all parties sign the MOU, a legal process will follow to amend bylaws so they reflect the new service model. Anything could possibly happen once the firm details are exposed. Considerable work has gone into resolving this matter and everyone at the table deserves praise for their willingness to come together. But the hard work may actually just be starting.

Interior Health reassures residents

fter reading the article and editorial in the Nov. 16 edition of The Morning Star regarding the physician situation in Enderby, I felt it was important to provide some clarity and assurance to area residents. There are currently two health clinics providing access to physician services, the Interior Health Authority's Enderby Community Health Centre and a private clinic. The Enderby Community Health Centre is currently without a permanent physician. However, physician services are still available. IHA has been able to staff the health centre with a regular complement of locum family physicians since the last permanent physician left and we anticipate this situation will continue until a new full-time physician starts next summer. There are also regular clinics held by specialist physicians that continue. The health centre is also fortunate to have a full-time nurse practitioner to provide primary care to patients, which includes routine check-ups, diagnosing and managing acute and chronic illnesses, prescribing medications, ordering diagnostic tests and referring to specialists. lIvIng wItH DISAbIlIty I feel compelled to respond to the excellent letter on your pages from Elisheva Benjamin in the Oct. 28 paper. I completely agree with the points this lady raises, but feel that the subject needs to be expanded upon. It may surprise many to learn that significant disabilities in Canada account for an equal proportion of our population to that of seniors. That includes all disabilities, physical, mental and otherwise. Both my wife and I have lived with cerebral palsy all of our lives. Physical ailments can provide equal challenges and frustrations to those of mental ones given the world we live in. This is due to public perception in many cases. Unfortunately, people with physical problems are often perceived to also have mental challenges even though they may not. For this reason and others, jobs for the disabled are nearly impossible to find, and those of a permanent nature, even more so. Lip service is given by many sectors of government and business saying otherwise, but in truth, these presentations have absolute-

The full-time physician IHA recently recruited is anticipated to begin work at the health centre next August, and we are currently in discussion with other potential candidates interested in relocating to Enderby this spring.

ly no substance. Believe me, it is very easy for a disabled person to become disenchanted with the work-a-day world and what it (or doesn't) have to offer. I completely endorse the current efforts to bring persons with disabilities rates up to $1,200 monthly and have them indexed. This move is long overdue. However, I seriously feel that efforts to do so will be completely futile. The reality is that the disabled have no political clout despite our numbers or the willingness of some of us to speak out. Given the current political realities, governments at all levels and of all political stripes are much too busy paying CEOs and others far more than they're worth, since private business is now doing the same thing. I wish the Disabilities Without Poverty Network the best of luck. They will need it. Cam Clayton pIpelIne trouble After reading a letter titled "Pipeline protest misses the mark," I felt that a response was appropriate. The article implied that there

are not many oil pipeline ruptures in Alberta. On the contrary. A search reveals information that between 1990 and 2005, there have been 4,769 oil pipeline spills in Alberta, according to the Alberta Utilities Board. Alberta has had a long and troubled history of oil spills since the 1970s. In May 2007, there was a spill of 4.5 million litres of oil near Peace River. In 2008, 3,000 barrels of oil contaminated Jackson Creek, a tributary of the Red Deer River. In August 2000, a spill went into the Pine River, which is upstream from Chetwynd, B.C., and there was a spill in May 1977 of 175,000 gallons of oil. The letter had a point that jobs are created in northern Alberta and Saskatchewan. However, these jobs are sending people to camps in isolated locations in northern areas of Canada where people do not want to live. It is not a great lifestyle and not good for young families. A solution could be to move people into pure electric vehicles. Vernon is receiving assistance from the provincial government to install two electric car-charging

Recruitment of family physicians is a high priority for IHA. We are working with physicians, elected officials and stakeholders in many communities, offering incentives to bring qualified people to their area and developing long term, sustainable solutions. We also profile these communities, including Enderby, through a variety of media (medical journals, www. healthmatchbc.org, social media etc.) and at medical conferences throughout the country. For example, IHA was present at Family Medicine Forum 2012, the annual meeting of the Canadian College of Family Physicians (http://fmf.cfpc.ca). I myself work at the Enderby Health Centre and can confidently say that this is a desirable environment for physicians. I am confident that through continued collaborative recruitment efforts with the community, other physicians will choose to move to the area with their families and call it home.

stations. B.C.'s environment minister, Terry Lake, owns an electric vehicle and he is planning to have many charging stations in B.C. Almost every car manufacturer has electric cars either already to market or at least plans for production in the near future. Electric vehicles do not need pipelines. Hurricane Sandy was a big wake-up call for what we can expect in the future if we don't stop emitting greenhouse gases. Alternative energy jobs could be established right here in the North Okanagan where most people prefer to live and work. terry Dyck CleAn wAter This past month, our water bills have come in. So I want to express my thanks to the water treatment plant for cleaning up the water in our area. The water we used to get in this district was yellow/brown and all sinks, bathtubs and toilets had a distinctive ring perpetually. The difference in cleaner water is noticeable and I am positive it is considerably healthier. Having lived near an area in Ontario where water contamina-

tion was causing disease and even death, we should be most willing to pay this of any bills as it is a proven benefit. Mary Jane Salmon

Aerial Contracting linesmen Kris Dawson and Garry McGinnis work on restoring power to Long Island.

Crews continue hurricane help barb brouwer Black Press

Employees of a local power company are still busy lighting up the lives of easterners who lost power to deadly Hurricane Sandy. With offices in Vernon and Salmon Arm, Aerial Contractors hopped onboard the helping train quickly, deploying 15 men Nov. 3, with six bucket trucks and three digger derrick units, along with service mechanics to support restoration efforts on Long Island and in New Jersey. And, after two weeks working long days on the line, the company continues to help out with power line restorations on Long Island. “We were in the trenches,” says Shelley Dawson, co-owner of Aerial’s Salmon Arm branch, noting that after several days of sleeping in trucks and empty warehouses, the crews managed to secure a limited number of hotel rooms. “They are working 16-hour shifts and are pretty exhausted by the end of the day,” Dawson says. “It takes a dedicated professional to continue working during these types of conditions.” The crews were scheduled for a release Sunday, but with many isolated outages remaining, they have been reassigned to other jobs. “It says a lot about the culture of the power lineman trade,” she says. “Even while under enormous stress and fatigue, they remain very professional and courteous to the frustrated people on Long Island.”

The plug is being pulled temporarily on free Internet access in part of downtown Vernon. On Nov. 30, Freenet, which is currently available on the south side of the old library building and in Spirit Square, will be disconnected for two months so the service can be expanded. Wayne Ikesaka “Freenet is used the most lightly in winter, so we hope the impact on the public will be less now compared to any other time of year,” said Wayne Ikesaka, the

city’s manager of information services. Freenet will be re-located to areas that are more heavily used by the public. It is projected to be available again by Feb. 1 at Cenotaph Park, the downtown transit exchange, the pathway between the transit exchange and the museum, the south side of the old library and Spirit Square. Freenet was installed more than four years ago to service the civic complex surrounding the old library. Public spaces like Spirit Square, the transit exchange and the pathway between 31 and 32 avenues have been added so it’s necessary to relocate the existing Freenet equipment.

One Spallumcheen resident wants a transit route reinstated. And she has the backing of township council. Sharon Bennett wrote Spallumcheen council requesting help in reinstating a B.C. Transit stop at the Eagle Rock mobile home park on what was then Highway 97A, now called Hutley Road. Bennett said the route was lost two years ago because of the highway expansion project. “Many of the residential units are considered low income,” wrote Bennett. “Out of the 250 residents, about 30 of us needed the service on a regular basis.” Bennett said the nearest stop for residents in the area – there are three trailer parks, including Eagle Rock, nearby – involves crossing the highway to the

Spallumcheen industrial park on Pleasant Valley Road four kilometres away. Bennett said she spoke to Vernon Transit and the Township of Spallumcheen. “They said that adding the extra stop would be a major timing inconvenience to the transit system,” said Bennett. “It’s an inconvenience for us as there are many disabled people in our trailer park that can’t walk four kilometres to catch the bus. Without a car, it’s impossible for us to buy food or go to medical appointments.” Coun. Christine Fraser didn’t buy that the stop was an inconvenience. “I drove down, took the roundabout, went down, sat there for two minutes, went back onto the highway and kept on going. It takes less than 10 minutes,” said Fraser. “To me, less than 10 minutes to make

a stop at one location is not that inconvenient.” “It’s not unrealistic to stop in the highest need centre in our community,” added Coun. Todd York. “If they have to do it on the half-hour or hour, it’s probably tolerable rather than having those people trying to cross the highway.” Fraser called for a stop to be installed along Hutley Road near the trailer parks or wherever the easiest spot would be for a transit bus to turn around. There is no access road to Highway 97A northbound off Hutley Road. A bus would have to turn on the road and head back to a roundabout in order to get back on the highway. Council voted unanimously to send a letter to the Regional District of North Okanagan, asking that the transit stop be reinstated.

Morning Star Staff

The Regional District of Central Okanagan doesn’t want Lake Country residents to throw their old Christmas light strings in the garbage. Instead, it suggests, you recycle them by taking them to a local recycling depot. “Recycling your old light strings instead of tossing them out is simple good sense, environmentally and financially,” said Rae Stewart, waste reduction facilitator. “By upgrading your lights, you’ll be saving energy and money on your electricity bill, as LED (light emitting diode) lights use up to 95 per cent less energy than regular Christmas lights and last at least 10 times longer.” Old light strings can be dropped off at the Glenmore landfill.

Members of the Enderby Lions Club have fulfilled their mandate to build a strong community. The club has donated $30,000 to the Grindrod Recreation Association for construction of a new community hall in Grindrod Park. “We are a community-based organization and Grindrod is part of our community,” said Herb Bayes, club president. “Giving people in the community a place to gather is important. For the long-term health of the community, it’s a good thing and we wanted to get on board.” The funds were generated during a number of fundraisers, including garage sales, auctions, flower sales, pancake breakfasts and firewood sales. “We get a terrific amount of support from the community,” said Bayes of the club, which has 58 members. The $30,000 is one of the largest donations

directed towards Grindrod’s community hall project. “The club’s support is really welcome,” said Herman Halvorson, with the Grindrod Recreation Association. “They have shown their support for the Grindrod community.” The hall is almost at lock-up stage, but with about half of the required $400,000 raised, there is insufficient funds to complete the project. Fundraising will continue and grants are being sought from the federal and provincial governments. “The goal is to get the project done by next spring,” said Halvorson. The association decided to construct a new facility because the existing hall was built in 1905 and is in poor condition. To support the fundraising campaign, call Halvorson at 250-838-7407 or Lindsay Kibbe at 250-838-6096.

Program provides nutritious food Morning Star Staff

Good food, good idea. The Food Action Society of the North Okanagan is again promoting its Good Food Box program for the holiday season. The Good Food Box helps hundreds of individuals and families throughout the North Okanagan access an affordable box of locally sourced fresh fruits and vegetables for only $15 per month (an approximate $30 retail value). A sample box would contain perhaps five pounds of potatoes, one pound of tomatoes, three pounds of apples, a pound of red grapes, 12 oranges, one

pound of onions, two pounds of carrots, one lettuce, one bunch of broccoli, a B.C. cucumber and two pounds of yams. There are two ways you can help: pre-purchase boxes for $20 month that will go directly to support families and individuals. From every box purchased, $5 will go towards supporting the Good Food Box program. Or, you can provide a general donation to be used as needed to support the program. For more information about the Good Food Box, visit www.goodfoodbox.net or call 250-3067800.

Public health nurses in Armstrong believe cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) knowledge is important for a community. City council concurs. Council voted to donate $200 from the mayor’s emerging issues fund to help with Armstrong’s CPR Education Day, slated for Saturday, Dec. 1, at the Armstrong Bible Chapel. “Our goals for this project are building capacity in the community through CPR education, awareness and training,” wrote — Courteen-Nurse Brianna CourteenNurse, a fourth-year nursing student from Kamloops’ Thompson Rivers University, who wrote to council on behalf of the public health nurses at Armstrong’s Pleasant Valley Health Centre. CPR Education Day is a chance for residents to learn CPR for free. Two training classes will be put on by St. Johns Ambulance from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. The entry fee for the course is a donation of food or a toy for the local food bank’s Christmas hampers. The Armstrong Bible Chapel, located at 2145 Rosedale Avenue, donated its facility for the project. For more information, or to register for one of the two classes, call Wendy at 250-546-4720, or Carla at 250-546-3465.

“Building capacity in the community through CPR education.”

Also seeking the Liberal nomination are Marty Bootsma, Will Hansma, Greg Kyllo

and Jordan Ross. The candidate selection meeting will take place Jan. 5.

SNORING?

As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D. Often snorers also have sleep apnea which causes being tired all day, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, irregular heartbeats (per FDA website). Millions suffer needlessly and can stop their nightly ordeals.

Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH < Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use.

You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.

Stem Cell Activator

Helps to activate naturally millions of stem cells from our own bone marrow. The increase in stem cells released from the bone marrow into the blood stream have the potential to become other types of tissue cells with specialized function. Stem cells will multiply and are able to become heart cells, liver cells or any other organ. Located everywhere in our body, stem cells are even under our skin layered between the epidermis and dermis. This is why an increase in stem cells under our skin may help to create a more youthful cell that would replenish elastin and collagen and thus may make us look younger. If our bone marrow does not produce enough stem cells this can result in many illnesses, especially a weak heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas, in fact all healthy functions of our body are decreased. Sufficient stem cells in our body have a great potential of self-repair and the ability to rejuvenate tissues. It does not contain live human stem cells as these can only be transplanted by surgery and are subject to immuno-suppressant drugs to avoid graft rejection. Naturopathic Doctor summarized his experience in writing after using this Stem Cell Activator: Used for all organ and tissue damage, heart attack damage, osteo-arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic brain injury, muscular dystrophy, Crohn’s disease, diabetes, lupus, spinal injuries, and other diseases and tissue damage. The results have been #63 very satisfactory to us and to the patients and the time varies with different patients depending on the extremity of the damage. Women witnessing the effects of Bell Stem Cell Activator: <Women looking for antiaging help! We all want to slow down aging. After using a bottle of Bell Stem Cell Activator #63 my skin seemed smoother and brighter. My hair looked healthier. It seems to have a cleansing effect. I’m delighted. Leona McCormick, 50, Clgary, AB < All around healing effect! The first thing I noticed after starting Bell Stem Cell Activator #63 was that my skin feels firmer and stronger. My friends commented that my skin looks more vibrant. My doctor at my yearly physical told me that my blood pressure is significantly lower. Many good things are happening.

They were teammates last season on the Oakville Blades of the OJHL. “He’s one of my better buddies,” said Board, who has five goals and nine helpers in 23 games with Prince George. “Looking forward to playing together again.” Without seeing him practise with the team, Williamson couldn’t say where Board would fit into the lineup. Given their built-in chemistry, fans will likely see the Oakville duo on a line Saturday. “He’s one of the best team guys off and on the ice,” said Russell. “Two-way hockey player. The kid can score and defend. Really looking forward to seeing him in a Viper jersey.” Guiltinan, meanwhile, arrived in Prince George Thursday and will be in the lineup as the Kings entertain the Surrey Eagles tonight and Saturday. “I’m just excited to go in there and work for everything I get,” said Guiltinan. “Shouldn’t be too much of a change.

Fresh off his finals appearance at the Rogers Masters of Curling, Jim Cotter piloted his Woodland Equipment rink to a 4-3 win over Sherry Heath’s De Vine Vintners. Marc Fillion, filling in at third for 6-1 Woodland, made a nice runback with lots of rocks in play in the first end to secure a blank. After that, the rinks swapped singles for the entire game, with Cotter taking advantage of the hammer in eight. Super spare Susan Hamilton, throwing skip’s stones for Heath (1-7), kept the pressure on the feller bunchers all night.

Lions ice Jackets in Pee Wee final Morning Star Staff

The Kelowna Lions stunned the previously unbeaten Vernon Yellow Jackets 8-6 in the Southern Interior Pee Wee Football Conference in front of a boisterous crowd Sunday at Mission Sports Field. The Lions jumped out to an early 8-0 lead on their first possession of the game, a 47-yard touchdown run. The score remained the same until the third quarter when Vernon tailback Bryce Tkachuk burst through the line for a 60-yard TD scamper. Vernon missed the convert. Kelowna threatened to score on two occasions in the fourth quarter with the ball inside the Vernon five-yard line. Tkachuk led all tacklers with six while Matthew Reich and Isaiah Ondrik each contributed four-anda-half. Vernon regained possession of

the ball on their own one-yard line with 109 yards to go and two minutes remaining, A third and 10 run for 11 yards by Tkachuk, and a 20-yard ramble by Riley MacGillivray brought the ball into Lion territory with under a minute to go. However, the Kelowna defence held on third and five. “Give full credit to Kelowna,” said Yellow Jacket head coach Bryan Cragg. “They did a great job tackling and bouncing our backs to the sideline. Our offence couldn’t get any rhythm going and could only manage one big play on the day. “Even though we are disappointed in the loss, our boys had an outstanding season (11-1) and the coaches are proud of the way they battled to the end of the game. Unfortunately, we weren’t the best team today and Kelowna will advance.”

Rockets’ forwards return

Black Press Sports

With the return to health of two veteran forwards this week, competition for ice time with the Kelowna Rockets just got that much stiffer. Over-age winger J.T. Barnett is back after missing the last 21 games with a lower body injury, while Carter Rigby has returned from an 14-game absence due to a shoulder injury. The Rockets now have four extra forwards on the roster. “Quite a few guys have played pretty well for us, so it’s going to be difficult having to take certain guys out,” said Rockets head coach Ryan

Huska. “But it’s a good problem to have. It’s going to create some good competition and guys are going to have to work to stay in the lineup.” Barnett and Rigby are set to rejoin the Rockets this weekend as Kelowna plays host to a pair of Eastern Division opponents. The Regina Pats will visit Prospera Place tonight, while ex-Rocket Shane McColgan and the Saskatoon Blades come calling on Saturday. The Rockets (12-8-1-1), who have won six straight games at Prospera, will be trying to rebound from a pair of losses last weekend in Kennewick.

Kuhn earns B.C. berth

It was supposed to be an exercise in chasing older skaters at the Olympic Oval in Calgary. Instead, 13-year-old speed skater Connie Kapak of Vernon won all six Can Am International Junior World Cup short track races. She was the second youngest of 207 skaters from around the world. The one-day event featured the top two 13-yearold Alberta skaters, including provincial champion Cassidy Peterson, of Canmore. Kapak then spent four days of two-a-day practices and long track preparation. Seven races over four days resulted in four more gold medals, including breaking her own B.C.

News Firefighters test smoke detectors

Morning Star Staff

Firefighters are hitting the street to promote safety. On Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Vernon and Okanagan Landing firefighters will donate their time and go door-to-door in the Pleasant Valley Mobile Home Park to encourage residents to test their smoke alarms and replace their batteries.

“Almost 70 per cent of houses that caught fire in B.C. didn’t have a functioning smoke alarm,” said Keith Green, Vernon fire chief. “Children and the elderly face the highest risk of dying in a residential fire. We want to do our part to eliminate that risk.” Firefighters will also replace old smoke alarms or install a new one if the resident doesn’t have one. The smoke alarms are donat-

ed by the Vernon Rotary Club and Johnston Meier Insurance Agencies Group. Working smoke alarms could reduce annual fire deaths in B.C. by as much as 32 per cent. Research links working smoke alarms and reduced fatalities in structure fires. “Fire damage was reduced by 19 per cent when a working smoke alarm was present,” said Green.

Valley First angels spread holiday cheer

Morning Star Staff

Valley First’s Vernon and Lumby branches are launching an Angel Tree program. The program will help less fortunate members of our community by providing them with assistance during the holidays. “The holidays can be a tough time of year,” said Debbie Bagnall, Vernon branch manager.

“When it comes to the holidays, there can be a lot of pressure. Our Angel Tree program helps ease some of that pressure and makes the festive season a little more enjoyable.” Until Dec. 8, the branches will display a decorated Christmas tree with angel ornaments, each representing a child, youth or senior in the local community. Members of

the public can take an angel from the tree and return it with a new unwrapped gift. All gifts and donations will be delivered to Vernon Salvation Army and the Lumby Food Bank. In addition to selecting an angel, people can also select a Feed the Valley tree tag from the tree and return it with a nonperishable food item or cash donation.

News Okanagan welcomes drought tips from Las Vegas speaker Morning Star Staff

There are lessons to be learned about water conservation from drier parts of the world, so the Okanagan is turning to Las Vegas for ideas about coping with water shortages here. The Irrigation Industry Association of B.C., in collaboration with the Okanagan Basin Water Board and Okanagan Waterwise, has invited Doug Bennett of the Southern Nevada Water Authority to Kelowna Dec. 5 to talk about leading edge water conservation trends and technologies. Everyone involved in managing water, including those in civic government, waterrelated businesses and others, are invited to attend the day-long conference at the Delta Grand, called Water Conservation in the Okanagan: What can we learn from Las Vegas? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Special attention will be given to how Okanagan water stakeholders, including regional and municipal governments, waterrelated businesses, and other users, can the prevent the water challenges that have plagued other droughtprone areas,â&#x20AC;? said Corinne Jackson, communications director for the OBWB. Some of the topics to be discussed by panels of experienced industry experts include water modelling and planning strategies, conservation regulation and enforcement tools, landscape and irrigation design standards and water budgeting and rates. The idea is to prevent the water challenges that have plagued other droughtprone areas. Speakers will include Anna Warwick Sears, executive director of the Okanagan Basin Water Board, Ted van der Gulik, ministry of agriculture,

dollars. Proof of this commitment is Bill C-46, intro-

duced in Parliament last week. C-46 will amend MP, senator, and public

servant pensions (C-45). The changes will save taxpayers $2.6 billion

MP pensions on the base amount. However, with the additional $157,000, the pension benefit is 60 per cent or $104,000 per year, plus the pension on the base amount. This is changing so that the additional $157,000 will be reduced to around $47,000 or close to $60,000 less per year. The Colin Mayes prime minister is going to make this change retroactively, so the savings will be $420,000 to taxpayers. I have had many complaints concerning pensions in the past; however it is our government that is actually making changes. Cabinet expenses are down 16 per cent over the last year and use of the government aircraft is down 30 per cent since the previous government was in office. My MP budget has a 30 per cent savings over the annual allocation. Our Harper government has moved Parliament from a place of “we are entitled to our entitlements” to one of “we are responsible to the taxpayers.” I am proud of this accomplishment. Colin Mayes is MP for Okanagan-Shuswap.

over the next five years. We also eliminated severance payments that will save $500 million per year once fully implemented. One of the key policy changes in Bill C-46 that will save taxpayer dollars is the age at which MPs, senators and newly hired public servants will begin collecting their pensions. Once passed this will increase to 65 years of age. By 2016, all MPs, senators, and public servants will pay a 50 per cent contribution to their pension. Currently, public servants pay only 34 per cent into their pension premium and taxpayers pay 66 per cent. MP and senator pension contribution ratios are even more generous. The new calculation will see an increase in MP contributions from $11,000 per year to around $38,000 per year. Our prime minister has generously given up an even larger portion of his pension. Prime ministers are paid the base rate received by all MPs, namely $157,000, plus another $157,000 for the prime ministerial position. The pension for prime ministers is calculated the same as

For several years, a number of properties owned by the co-op in communities like Naramata, Summerland and the north end of Kelowna, have been up for sale because they’re no longer being used or they need to be updated. Tyabji said he is conducting a review of all those properties for sale and is looking at whether all of them will stay on the market. Some, like the waterfront property in downtown Naramata, won’t change, but overall the plan for the future of co-op facilities is being re-examined, he said. The OTFC capital plan is also being reviewed to see if it’s

still relevant, he said. Modernization work, which would include a state-of-the-art brine chiller and cooler system for the Controlled Atmosphere storage facility in Winfield will

still go ahead, although there’s some question now about whether it would be for Kelowna or Winfield, he said. A $2.7 million grant from the federal/provincial AgriFlex fund

was announced early this year to allow the co-op to embark on a $44 million infrastructure modernization, beginning with the new, more environmentallyfriendly CA storage

system, a $5.25 million project. Winfield contains more than a quarter of the co-op’s total storage in the valley, and some of the most modern equipment.

Homes needed for cats Morning Star Staff

As the cold weather approaches, what could be better than a warm cat or kitten curled up in your lap? The B.C. SPCA is holding a special adoption promotion for cats and kittens from Nov. 26 to Dec. 9 at the Vernon shelter. It offers 50 per cent off all feline adoption fees. “Normally at this time of year, the number of abandoned and surrendered kittens lessens, but the kittens just keep coming this year and we are really overwhelmed with the number of homeless kittens and cats who need loving homes,” said Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations. “We hope this special promotion will be an incentive for people who have thought through their decision to

adopt a pet and are just waiting for the right time.” While the goal of the Fall for Kittens promotion is to find loving homes for as many kittens and adult cats as possible, all of the usual adoption criteria will apply. “We want to make sure that the animals are a right fit for their new home and that their needs will be met,” said Chortyk. “As an added bonus, all cats and kittens are also covered by six weeks pet insurance courtesy of Petsecure to ensure the health of your new pet during the critical rehoming period. For more details on the Fall for Kittens promotion, visit the Vernon branch at 4800 Haney Rd. or call 250549-7297.

and burn. The heat given off by candles that are placed too close to nearby curtains, party decorations or clothing have been found to be the cause of costly and deadly fires every year in Canada. In fact, data from Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta and B.C indicates that between 1999 and 2008 there was an average of nearly 800 candle fires each year resulting in a yearly average of 8 fire deaths, 115 fire injuries and $26.2 million in property damage. In most cases they happened quickly, came as a total surprise and were totally avoidable. It is a fact that candle fires are most common during holidays and special occasions where the abundance of traditional decorations and all kinds of distractions can create an environment where they are treacherous! As an example just recently at a wedding I attended, an innocently discarded napkin caught fire on a candle that was being used to decorate one of the tables. Totally accidental and relatively insignificant, the fire was quickly extinguished but under slightly different circumstances could have caused considerable damage and evolved into a major tragedy. With Christmas quickly approaching, and candles traditionally being part of the festive season, here are some simple rules to follow when using candles that will help keep your holidays both enjoyable and safe: Always keep a burning candle in sight. When leaving the room or going to sleep, make sure any candles are completely extinguished and their wicks are no longer glowing. Keep a burning candle away from anything that can catch on fire such as drapes, Christmas trees, bedding, carpets, books,

paper, flammable decorations, etc. Keep candles away from, and out of the reach of, children and pets. Candlewicks that are long or crooked should be trimmed to ¼ inch to avoid uneven burning and dripping. Trim them every 2-3 hours to prevent high flames. Use a strong and sturdy candle holder specifically designed for candle use and big enough to contain drips or melted wax. To prevent possible heat damage and prevent glass containers from cracking or breaking, be sure the candleholder is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Never burn candles longer than directed by the manufacturer and keep them clear of debris at all times. Prevent rapid, uneven burning, and avoid flame flare-ups by keeping burning candles away from drafts, vents, ceiling fans and air currents. Don’t burn a candle all the way down or too close to its holder. Burning candles should be kept at least three inches apart to avoid them melting unevenly. Take extra care when burning candles with more than one wick. Avoid causing hot wax splatters and sparks by using a snuffer to extinguish a candle. Watch for candles burning improperly! Extinguish them, let them cool, trim the wick, check for drafts and then relight. Vernon Fire Rescue Services wants you and your family to stay safe. By all means enjoy the warmth and atmosphere that candles can provide but please give them the respect they deserve by providing them with the appropriate care and caution they require.

Youth have symphony to call their own YSO celebrates 23 years and new leadership with Music that Dances Kristi PAttOn Black Press

Dramatic growth in the Youth Symphony of the Okanagan (YSO) has organizers excited about the sound that will come from their first concert this weekend in Vernon. “We did a lot of beating the bushes and a lot of kids fell out,” said Rosemary Thomson of the symphony’s growth of up to 40 new members this season to bring the orchestra to 70 young musicians. After 23 years of leadership, Coldstream’s Imant Raminsh has stepped down as the conductor, but has stayed on as the YSO’s composer advisor. Thomson, who also is conductor of the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra, and Dennis Colpitts have stepped in to lead the youth orchestra. The pair has a vision that includes more hands-on mentorship between the OSO players and the youth symphony and bringing more equality throughout the valley by hosting practices in the South and North Okanagan. “We are planning that in five years time, the Youth Symphony will be the go-to ensemble that every kid will want to be in. We are definitely in building mode and these kids are amazing,” said Thomson. “All these kids are practising with their teachers and playing at a very high level and we are just trying to add another set of skills. It is a tremendous amount of dedication and it is really heartwarming to see.” The relationship with the OSO will still include side-by-side concerts where both orchestras will share the stage, but now it is more formalized. The YSO has been taken under the OSO’s wing and charitable number. Thomson said they held a meet-the-conductor session and while they had to turn some kids away because they weren’t ready this

It will be really neat and a lot of listeners will be surprised at how lyrical and enjoyable the piccolo is to hear as a solo instrument, as opposed to just a high shrilling to make a more dramatic movement in the orchestra.” Knol, who is 27, fits more on the young adult side of the orchestra and said being afforded the opportunity to perform like this is a huge benefit. She is still studying privately and auditioning for programs to increase her learning and continue to improve as a performer. “Any opportunity to perform is a fantastic chance and playing a concerto with an orchestra is really necessary if you want to perform.

Straight outta Vernon Turns out this small North Okanagan city has quite the hip hop scene, as will be seen Saturday with a concert featuring Snak the Ripper and local MCs Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

Those who love their beat with a lot of words know that Vernon has one heckuva hip hop scene. The city has churned out some impressive MCs and producers: SonReal, TassNata, Young Catalyst, Nick Brongers, Creative Bloodline, Immaculate are just some of the few who come to mind. And on Saturday, a few more will be added to that list showing what they do best when they open for Vancouver MC Snak the Ripper at Vernon’s 2929 Nite Club. Homeboy Rory MacLeod, aka NOX, is back on the scene and will perform from his just-off-the-press CD, F.E.A.R. Produced by Vernon’s Track Star Productions, owned by Chad Hector and Kyle English, who have previously worked with Immaculate (Julian Wolansky), MacLeod has been working on the record for the past two years. “In that time, I decided a name change, fresh sound and fresh start would be my newest vision,” he said. “F.E.A.R is the result of a cutting edge creative process, world class sound design and production.” Along with NOX, DJ Dargas, Stage and Alfy’O, a former Vernon resident will support headliner Snak the Ripper at the 2929 concert. Jaclyn Gee, a 21-year-old hip hop/soul singersongwriter, is releasing her new album on the same day as the Vernon show. Now living in Vancouver, Gee was born in Surrey and moved frequently throughout her younger years all over B.C. and parts of Alberta. In 2011, while living in the Okanagan, she was nominated for a B.C. Interior Music Award in the category of Best Musical Recording with Blue, a col-

Gee’s first solo album, titled Heart & Soul, was produced by Kjorven with the exception of the song Over You, which was produced by The PhonoGraff and features Snak The Ripper. The music video for Over You, released in July, collected more than 21,000 views in the first week. Gee has rocked the stage alongside acts such as Swollen Members, Snak The Ripper, Sweatshop Union, Datsik and Omar Linx, and says she is influenced by the likes of The Fugees, Norah Jones, The Roots and A Tribe Called Quest. With hip hop as a foundation, she has developed her own ambiguous, soulful sound that is said to soothe the soul. Headliner Snak the Ripper stepped onto the Canadian hip hop forefront in early 2007 and has been kicking up dust all over the country ever since. His debut release, The Ripper, gained hype across the globe, building his fan base by thousands in less than a year, and went on to sell more than 2,000 copies digitally and hand-to-hand in that time. With help from his crew, Snak has been littering the Internet with his reality-based lyrics, hard-hitting beats, and pure ability to tell it like it is. While other rappers only rap about glamour and fantasy, Snak says he speaks truth and honesty in every single line. Known for his prominent delivery, and an incredible ability to describe every filthy thought in his head, Snak has become known as one of Canada’s most dangerous up-and-coming hip hop artists. He has rocked shows across the country, and shared the stage with the likes of RA The Rugged Man, Ill Bill of Non Phixion, Sean Price, Cunninlynguists, Choclair, Moka Only and Datsik, just to name a few. Snak has just recently released his third studio album, White Dynamite. His biggest release to date, the album features underground legends such as Onyx, Madchild, Eliza, Bishop Brigante, Young Sin and Evil Ebenezer, with production by Stuey Kubrick, N-Jin, Sapient of Sandpeople, Rob The Viking, Moka Only and others. Presented by 13th Floor Entertainment and Bassbong Records, tickets to Saturday’s hip hop show at 2929 Nite Club, 2900-29th Ave., are available in advance at the Downtown Internet Lounge on 30th Avenue next to the Towne Cinema.

The sun sets on Twilight The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2

he Twilight saga comes to a close in Breaking Dawn: Part 2. Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Bella (Kristen Stewart) return in the fifth and final film. In the previous film, Bella died during childbirth, but was resurrected as a vampire by her husband, Edward. Now due to a misunderstanding, the Volturi believe Edward and Bella’s daughter is an illegal, immortal child and are huntTaylor & Howe ing the young family down. Can the Cullen clan convince the Volturi of their innocence? Will there be a vampire war? We say, “It’s the best of the bunch.” HOWE: Seeing that I hadn’t watched any of these films (and I’m not going to torture myself by doing so now,) I thought I’d ask my daughter, Brooke, to help out reviewing TBD2. BROOKE: I was impressed, to say the least. And yes, I cried a little at the end. It was an emotional and romantic series that I think everyone secretly wished would never conclude. I enjoyed the Twilight films, passionately entertaining us with blood-sucking violence and the fanatic, earth-shattering relationship of Edward and Bella. Oh, don’t forget to throw in a half-human, half-vampire child making for a happilyever-after that defies tradition and makes for a slightly unorthodox modern-day

I’m not completely sure why, but I think it has something to do with my wife. (She read the books.) For the most part I thought the series deserved a passing grade with Kristen Stewart’s terrible acting as the feature

that dragged the films down most often. However, I think she does a little better here and manages to emote from time to time. HOWE: I was just about to say that. BROOKE: Stewart has taken on her new vampire persona with a vengeance, and it suits her much better than the moody, helpless teenager she portrayed in the very first Twilight movie. Remember the awkward, quiet girl that met Edward in the cafeteria? Things have changed quite a lot since then. Bella has become the serious, powerful one, proving to be a better vampire than her lover. Jacob’s role (Taylor Lautner) has grown into something much more important, and he seems to have more of a purpose now than Edward, who just stands there in this last movie with a permanent smirk on his pasty, white face. Pattinson certainly hasn’t kept up with Stewart’s performance. HOWE: And that. TAYLOR: I’ll admit to being slightly excited at the sight of a vampire war, but this film would have been better served by being chopped into its much more boring predecessor. This finale has a few laughs, some cute kids, and lots of... kissing, but it also has the most decapitations I’ve seen this year, so it’s a trade off. I’m gonna let slide the fact that this movie only has one act. HOWE: It was okay. — Brooke gives Breaking Dawn: Part Two 5 decapitated heads out of 5. — Taylor gives it 2.5 guys in frilly shirts who can run really fast out of 5. — Howe gives it 2 Dracula wannabes out of 5. The feature is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Blues emergency stops near Enderby Morning Star Staff

On his seventh annual National Steel Blues Emergency Tour, Doc MacLean has been driving across the country in his battered Lincoln, with a working man’s 1929 National Steel guitar and a pocket full of harmonicas. After nearly 50 sold out shows with fellow bluesman Morgan Davis, MacLean will be continuing his western expedition with a handful of select, solo dates, including Lorenzo’s Café, east of Enderby, on Saturday. Maclean has been administering his blues medicine coast to coast, answering some 75 calls in nine provinces since September. “The all-acoustic,

Doc MacLean songs and stories in the round presentation has conducted operations in venues large and small, grand and humble across the land,” he said. A true blues vagabond, MacLean has been writing from the dark side of the blues highway for the past 40 years. On that journey, he has explored the road atlas from A to Z, surfacing

sometimes on big stages in fancy halls, sometimes streetside trolling for change and a meal. He’s done this without managers, agents, or record companies. There’s no fancy new guitars. He’s a traveller, a collector and teller of songs and stories — a songster in the blues tradition. Blues Revue magazine has called him “The Prince of Darkness.” Those interested in reading about MacLean’s journey can check out his blog at BluesEmergency. blogspot.com. MacLean hits the stage at Lorenzo’s, 901 Mabel Lake Rd., Saturday at 8 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. and cover is $10. Call (250) 8386700 for reservations/ information.

Stick to the rock Aerosmith:

Music from Another Dimension

erosmith is back again. The Boston drama queens/rockers have put aside gripes and differing career paths to put out a long player that starts rocking quickly. The fivepiece hasn’t put any new, original material out in over a decade, so it’s time to hear which direction Dean Gordon-Smith they take. Music From Another Dimension is a fitting title for a trip through Aerosmith’s past – hard rocking and lame ballads to go along with the train wreck fascination with bad behaviour and comebacks. Fittingly, they’ve re-enlisted Jack Douglas as main producer. Douglas was behind the board for the group’s past classics and could act as a buffer against Aerosmith’s agents of lameness: movie soundtracks, outside songwriters, and overwrought production. For the most part, the album boasts some potent moments of authentic rocking. The first two tracks get off good and dirty with twin guitar bite and Steven Tyler’s hot pipes in full

Street SoundS

swagger. Oh Yeah is a Toys in the Attic-style bad boy boogie tune – it has the cutting drive of the band in full throttle. The visit to memory lane to get the mojo pays off. Legendary Child is another redemptive rocker, touching on the group’s Rocks-era vibe. The song sounds like the band laid it down during a party while listening to Led Zeppelin’s Wanton Song. Out Go the Lights has more Boston boogie rock that Aerosmith rolls out so effortlessly – loose and groovy. An album of 10 tracks like this is all they need and all we ask. But here come the big ballads rolling in like some garish searchlights to wreck the party. What Could Have Been Love and Can’t Stop Loving You, with Carrie Underwood, are serious soundtrack themes: grandiose but gutless. The same is true of We All Fall Down — the sound of Aerosmith gone big Nashville country. It’s a good thing that there are songs like Street Jesus to remind one of Aerosmith’s snaky way with a rhythm. Music From Another Dimension is about great crankers and some Hollywood ballads – dedicated garage boogie and big budget soft rock. But it’s an easy pick between a rock and a hard place.

Writers called to enter short story contest Morning Star Staff

Join the region’s literary community in a competition for cash prizes during the 15th annual Okanagan Short Story Contest, now officially open and accepting submissions. All writers in the B.C. Southern Interior — east of Hope, west of the Alberta border, north of the U.S. border, and south of William’s Lake — may enter their original, unpublished works of fiction. The popular writing contest is sponsored by the faculty of creative and critical studies at UBC Okanagan, The Kelowna Capital News, and the

Central Okanagan Foundation. Nationally renowned author Erìn Mouré will select the best short stories from the entries. Winners will be awarded $500 for first place, $200 for second, and $100 for third. The three winning stories will be published in a limited edition chapbook and celebrated at a reading in the spring of 2013. “The Okanagan Short Story Contest has a history of attracting internationally-known judges, and this year is no exception,” said Sonnet L’Abbe, professor of creative writing and poetry at UBCO. “If you have

literary aspirations, or have a story or two sitting in a drawer, send something in – this could be your big break.” Submission deadline is Jan. 4, 2013. Entries must be submitted on 8 ½ x 11 inch plain white paper, double-spaced and typed. Stories should range from 1,000-to -4,000 words. There are no age limits or limits on the number of entries. Each entry must be accompanied by a $15 entry fee, either a money order or cheque payable to the University of British Columbia. Complete contest rules can be found at www. okstorycontest.org.

Making a difference in Haiti D

Just say no

Armstrong nurse Barry Procter takes his skills to Haiti

Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff

When Barry Procter set out to do volunteer work in Haiti for a few weeks, it didn’t quite go as planned. Instead, after a trip back to Canada, Procter has turned those initial two weeks into a full-time job as principal of a nursing school in the tiny Caribbean country. It all started when Procter attended a presentation for Clean Water for Haiti. He liked what he heard and decided he wanted to help the organization that builds water filters for communities in Haiti. “They had a requirement that you go for a couple of weeks. I really enjoyed the two weeks, wished it could be longer, so when I got home I retired from my job, sold all my stuff and moved back.” When he returned to Haiti, Procter began teaching math at an English language school. Through the grapevine, the principal of a nursing school heard about Procter and called to recruit him as an instructor. Dr. Mane Ricot Felix is a young Haitian physician and when he was at medical school in Haiti’s capital, Port-auPrince, he saw that there was a huge shortage of nurses and they were not well-trained. Felix formed an NGO called COPSA-Haiti, dedicated to the improvement of healthcare in Haiti. And, with other medical professionals he set up a nursing school in his home town of Saint-Marc. Now a member of the NGO, Procter is principal of COPSA-Haiti Nursing School and Laboratory, which opened in October 2011. This year, there are 246 students enrolled at the school, which runs the four-year nurs-

Instead, instructors will write out notes and make copies for each student. While there are text books in French, it’s almost impossible to find those written in Creole, the language spoken by the majority of students. With years of government

corruption, mismanagement by non-governmental organizations, debt and natural disasters, Haiti has been dealt an unfair hand over the years, said Procter. “If you take the time to look at the history of Haiti, it’s one thing after the other that’s been done to them. And since the earthquake, I hear from everybody, ‘what happened to the money?’ I think the Haitian government got one per cent of aid and .4 per cent went to Haitian NGOs. “Some of the NGOs have done good things, but the spotlight is off Haiti right now. People’s picture of Haiti is terrible, but it is a beautiful country.” For Procter, what brings him back to this impoverished nation is its people, with their resilience and their hope for a better future. “They are happy people; part of that is if you think you’re going to understand it all, you’re not. But part of it is because they have a huge sense of community.” Now living in Pierre Payen, a village 20 miles from SaintMarc, Procter has adapted to life in Haiti, made easier by the friendships he has developed. He has learned to speak Creole well enough to communicate, and his lifestyle is similar to that of his friends and neighbors. “I live in some ways much like they do, and I believe that

they kind of respect that I’m not down there living miles above them, that I treat them like my friends, because they are.” Procter uses solar panels to charge his laptop and phone because he doesn’t have electricity. And he enjoys the Haitian diet of rice and beans, with perhaps a small portion of meat and vegetables. “Most people don’t cook at home, as it’s too hot; they will set up on the side of the road. It’s relatively inexpensive to buy food, so long as you’re buying what’s local; if you want to buy what we have in Canada, it’s horrendously expensive. A box of cereal will cost you eight or 10 bucks.” Procter moved to the Okanagan from Manitoba in 2003, working as a nurse at Vernon Jubilee Hospital before moving to Armstrong and working for Kindale. When he returns to Canada, he divides his time between the Okanagan, which he still considers home, and Winnipeg, where his family lives. A father of four and grandfather of two, Procter said missing family is the biggest challenge so far. His youngest granddaughter was born the night he left for Haiti. “I miss family and friends, but a lot of the other stuff I don’t; some of the excess I find here I don’t like. I’ve even reached the point in Haiti where I have too much stuff. I’m with people who make do with nothing.” Procter takes each day as it comes, and as long as he is needed, he has no plans to leave Haiti. “There is a significant faith component to what I do. I believe my faith should focus on others, not on myself. I have always loved Matthew 25 where Jesus says our doing simple things for others is service to Him.” For more information on Procter’s work in Haiti, please e-mail him at brprocter@ gmail.com

ear Annie: I work in a large organization and know my colleagues quite well. Though I enjoy working with them, a number of them recently have begun borrowing cash from me. These are usually requests for small amounts to cover the cost of lunch or coffee, but over time, they add up. Not a single one of them has ever voluntarily repaid me. When I ask, the person inevitably looks surprised, smacks his or her forehead and says, “Sorry, I forgot,” before handing over the money. It’s not that I don’t want to be helpful and collegial, but Kathy mitchell & marcy sugar I have come to realize that if I don’t pursue those in my debt, I’ll never get the money back and will have to write off those sums. Even if my colleagues aren’t doing this intentionally, I can’t help thinking that in some way, I’m encouraging irresponsible behavior. Is there a professionally appropriate way of saying no the next time I’m asked for cash? — California Casey Dear California: You have apparently been tagged as an “easy mark” in your office. It’s perfectly OK to say pleasantly and politely, “I’m so sorry, but I can’t loan you the cash today.” You don’t have to give a reason. If you say it often enough, they will assume you don’t carry that much money any longer or that you aren’t willing to part with it. Either way, they will leave you alone. Dear Annie: I would appreciate an objective viewpoint regarding my (just) 16-year-old daughter’s request to have her belly button pierced. “Olivia” is an honor student and all-around wonderful daughter. But I am having trouble being objective about the piercing. I am opposed on several levels. First, it is a waste of money. Second, there is pain and, more importantly, the risk of infection or worse. I also feel she is too young and still growing. She is very slender, but I’ve advised her that her shape is likely to “fill out” in the next several years. Her twin sister, her mom and I enjoy reading your column every morning at breakfast. Am I being overly concerned? — Worried Papa Dear Worried: Your concerns are perfectly valid, but Olivia could present a counterargument to each. The pain is something she is apparently willing to tolerate, the “waste of money” is a matter of opinion, and the risk of infection (or worse) is lessened if the piercing is done by a reputable professional under hygienic circumstances. As for her shape, her navel is not likely to do all that much growing. The better reason, Dad, is that you object. You are still her father and can say no if this makes you uncomfortable. She always has the option of piercing her navel at a later date. We think you and your wife should have an honest discussion with Olivia about this and see whether you can reach an agreement.

Two paws up for Okanagan Humane Society Morning Star Staff

A day of training with the Vernon RCMP Canine Unit is one of the more unusual items up for auction at the Okanagan Humane Society’s fundraiser on Saturday. “There is something to fit everyone’s pocket size and you never know, there could be the Christmas present you have been looking for,” said Marti Giroux, with the society. “Const. Mark Jones and his dog, Traxx, have graciously agreed to treat some lucky bidder with a training day. “This will include accompanying Const. Jones and Traxx for a day of tracking, drug searching and criminal apprehension training — not only does that sound interesting, but fun as well.” The fundraiser is a dance taking place at The Green (formerly Sneakers Pub) at the Village Green Hotel, and featuring two live bands, Colt 45 and The New Classics. “It should be a great evening, and

both the venue and the bands have donated the time and talent,” said Giroux. In addition to the live music, the event includes door prizes, 50/50 draws, bucket draws and silent auction, with items that include WestJet tickets. Tickets to the fundraiser are $10, available at the door. Doors open at 7 p.m., with the bands beginning at 8 p.m. All of the funds raised are being donated to the Okanagan Humane Society, a volunteer-run non-profit organization which assists those who can’t afford the complete cost of spaying or neutering their pets; it does not operate an animal shelter. Beginning in March 1996 until the end of this year, the society expects it will have spayed or neutered more than 11,000 cats and dogs. For more information, please see www.okanaganhumanesociety.ca

New novel is a first for Kathleen Friesen Morning Star Staff

Local author Kathleen Friesen is thrilled to have her first book published and will celebrate with a book signing at Coles Books in the Village Green Mall on Saturday. Melody’s Song, a contemporary Christian novel, chronicles one fragile woman’s journey from worrier to warrior and how that impacts her life and those

around her. Readers join Melody as she faces demonic attacks, domestic violence, and the revelation of a secret that could destroy everything she’s gained. Will she finally triumph? Or will Melody be devastated beyond hope? “The first two chapters were written as an assignment for my course with Christian Writers Guild,” said Friesen.

“But the characters wouldn’t leave me alone. I just had to finish their story.” The result is a novel that Friesen hopes will challenge her readers to plunge into the adventure that God has planned. Melody’s Song is published by WestBow Press, a division of Thomas Nelson. Friesen’s signing takes place at Coles on Saturday from noon to 3 p.m.

Well the first season for our Mosaic Market has indeed been a learning experience. Our vendors found it to be worthwhile and profitable, and are all looking forward to next year. We’ve had some growing pains but considering none of our organizers had previous experience in operating or promoting a market, we think we did very well. We were lucky to have exceptional full-time vendors with incredible products such as: Audrey’s and Tony’s plants and produce; Michelle’s Cookie Jar; Chef Lori’s Delectable Delights; Karen’s brilliantly colored tie-dyed T-shirts; Pat’s tasty jellies; Kathy’s Cool Aprons for Hot Chicks; Joe and Pat’s eggs, bread and canned goods; Aida’s Studio Soap Co.; Larry’s and Al’s beautiful wood products; Marilyn’s, Diane’s and Elizabeth’s fabulous photography and RebaLou Designs’ oil paintings, fashionable totes, kids’ belts, home decor, etc. One of our vendors, Donna, offered a huge collection of metaphysical books and crystals, is opening her Breath Wellness Centre in downtown Vernon. Of course we would like to thank all the part-time vendors who helped add more interest and variety to the market. Last but not least, a big thank you goes out to our talented musicians/singers: twin sisters Carol and Susan; Jeanette; and Howard and Naiome were the icing on the cake. Our goals for next summer include an increase in products, vendors and entertainment. We want this market to help build and promote communi-

ty spirit as well as offer a memorable experience for visitors and tourists. Anyone who has a marketing background and would like to get involved is welcome to join our advertising committee. And we always have room for more vendors. If you are interested in either of these opportunities please contact our manager, Audrey Turcotte, at 250-542-7381. Our vendors wish to thank the local patrons for their weekly support and do hope to see you all next summer as well as at our upcoming Christmas Sale, this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Killiney Beach Community Hall, 514 Udell Rd. We will have three separate draws for: one gingerbread house and two variety baskets containing products, discount coupons and/or gift certificates donated by our vendors. However, tickets for our grand prize, a six-person cooking class (valued at $360), offered by Chef Lori, will be available at the door only. Our Christmas sale will offer more of those tasty food products that everyone loves plus some very creative and artistic crafts from our various artisans. Expect the unexpected such as Christmas boots in addition to traditional Christmas stockings, beautiful table dressings, pet treats and stockings, mini gingerbread houses, tree skirts, ornaments and wreaths. Of course there will be a variety of all-occasion gift items available to stuff into those stockings or boots as well. Rebecca Hulme is with the advertising committee for Mosaic Market.

The

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder A SMALL MAGAZINE, BUT FUN CONTENT New Zealand Bridge is published six times a year in a small-page format. It reports on that country’s tournaments and players in overseas competitions, but there are also instructive articles and an international bidding panel that answers six problems a month. This deal contained an interesting piece of declarer-play technique. It occurred during the final of the NEC Cup in Yokohama, Japan, in February. Peter Newell and Martin Reid from New Zealand teamed with Sartaj Hans and Tony Nunn from Australia. In the final, they beat a Bulgarian team.

At both tables South opened one club, strong, artificial and forcing. Hans (West) showed both black suits, and Nunn (East) jumped to four spades. South understandably rebid five hearts, which ended the auction. With the given distribution, this contract had to go down one. In the given auction, Newell (North) responded one diamond to indicate a weak hand, and East doubled to show diamonds. Against four hearts, West led the spade king. Reid (South) won with dummy’s ace, played a heart to his ace, and led a diamond to dummy’s jack. East won with his king and returned a spade. South

ruffed and cashed the club ace. What did he do next? Cashing the club king would have been fatal, because East would have ruffed and returned his last trump (or another spade). Instead, declarer played a low club toward the 10, happy to lose one diamond, one club and one trump.

Gust Stankoven

(Chubbuck)

February 10, 1934 – November 18, 2012 Gus Stankoven passed away peacefully at Kamloops Hospice on Sunday, Nov. 18th, 2012 at the age of 78 years surrounded by the love of his family. Gus was born on February 10th, 1934 in Drumheller, Alta. and was raised there until graduation in 1952. He came to Revelstoke in September 1952 to work for C.P. Rail as a telegraph operator. He worked the spare board on the Mountain and Shuswap subs until getting a steady job as a telegrapher in 1954. He married Winnifried Goebel on June 2nd, 1956 and worked in Albert Canyon until 1959, after which they moved to Rosebery where he was the station agent. While living there, Gus belonged to the New Denver – Silverton Kinsmen Club, coached Little League Baseball and Minor Hockey. He also played on the New Denver – Silverton Combines Senior Baseball team and Senior Hockey teams. He loved fishing on Slocan Lake and Wilson Creek. After 10 years, the CPR decided to close the branch line between Rosebery and Nakusp due to a lack of business. He turned down a promotion to be a mobile supervisor in Cranbrook because they had already purchased a home in Enderby, where he bid and got the Armstrong-Enderby office swing position. They moved to Enderby in 1969 and Gus was on city council for 14 years as an alderman, head of the Recreation Commission and put on many events for the Senior Citizens. He also coached Minor Hockey and Little League baseball where his team represented the Okanagan Valley at the Provincial Championship in Whalley. He was also involved with the Grindrod Elks Senior Hockey team and Enderby Legionnaires Senior Ball club and proudly went to the Western Canadian finals. In 1985 while working the Armstrong, Vernon and Sicamous swing, the CPR decided to close the branch line where he managed to get the office swing job in Kamloops. They resided in Kamloops until 1991 when Gus retired after 39 years of service with CP Rail when they closed the station due to technical changes on the railway. While an operator in Kamloops, he also was the First Aid instructor, as well as Defensive Driving Instructor for CP Employees. In 1992, they moved to a beautiful home in Nakusp on the Arrow Lakes. While there, Gus was president of the Senior Citizens Association for 7 ½ years, was a Senior Counsellor and also gave driving lessons to approximately 120 students and seniors. He was also President of the Nakusp Falcons Senior Hockey team and was also the score/time keeper for Minor Hockey. Gus & Winnie were chosen as Citizens of the Year in 1998. While living in Nakusp, Gus enjoyed fishing and picking berries. In 2003, they moved back to Kamloops to be closer to family and medical attention. Gus won medals at the Senior Games in table tennis, which he enjoyed playing for many years after. His hobbies included riding his scooter, watching hockey, playing crib, scrabble & circle word games. He loved watching movies and spending time with the family, especially his grandchildren. Gus spent time collecting donations for the Salvation Army as a kettle ringer in the malls at Christmas and loved interacting with people. Dad was an unselfish person who loved unconditionally, a friend to everyone, and always willing to help those in need. He devoted his life to being a great husband, father and grandfather and will be greatly missed. Special thanks to all of his doctors and nurses along with the volunteers at Hospice for your kindness and compassion. Gus was predeceased by his parents, step-father and sister, wife Winnie in August 2009 and granddaughter Michelle in February 2012. He is survived by his five children and families: Bill (Lorna) Stankoven of Victoria; Brenda (Dave) Jones of Revelstoke; Larry (Franca) Stankoven of Enderby; Linda (Fred) Iadarola of Kamloops; Wes (Deana) Stankoven of Kamloops; Fifteen grandchildren: Christina (Benjamin) Hernandez, Devin, Brennan & Garrett Stankoven; Amanda & Jeff Jones; Amy (Trevor) Volpatti; Amber (Adam) Brausse; Steven & Samuel Stankoven; Eric, Jenna & Melissa Iadarola; Logan & Macie Stankoven. Funeral services will be held at the Sacred Heart Cathedral (255 Nicola) in Kamloops on Sat. Dec. 1st, at 12:00 followed by a Celebration of Life at the Colombo Lodge (814 Lorne) In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Kamloops Hospice or the Salvation Army in memory of Gus.
