Kennedy McIntyre, three, and her sister Cora, seven, chat with Santa over breakfast at the Village Green Centre’s Breakfast With Santa Saturday morning. Santa will be making appearances throughout the North Okanagan leading up to Christmas.

He said he remembered details of his trip up Aberdeen Road, the speed he was going, the weather. But what Crown counsel wanted to know of the accused, Chase Garett Donaldson, was how he could not remember making what Crown termed the most important phone call of his life – that being to 911 after he allegedly struck and killed KieraLeigh Carlson as she walked along Aberdeen Road the night of April 30, 2010. Donaldson, 29, has pleaded not guilty to one count each of dangerous driving causing death and failing to stop at an accident causing bodily harm in connection with an incident on Aberdeen Road April 30, 2010 in Carlson’s death. Crown counsel Iain Currie spent most of Tuesday in Donaldson’s Supreme Court trial in Vernon poking away at Donaldson’s testimony after he was placed on the stand by his lawyers, Glenn Verdurmen and Paul Danyliu. Currie pointed out to Donaldson, who testified he was

alone in his vehicle that night, that records from the accused’s cell phone show a call to 911 was made shortly after the time Carlson was struck. “The reason you called 911 was because you believed you might have hit a person,” said Currie. “That the repercussions of this were so urgent that you had to conclude not if you hit a person, but if a person was dead or dying. As a result, you dialed 911.” “No,” said Donaldson. “No?” asked Currie. “I don’t remember dialing 911.” “It was a time of your life when you had a reason to call 911,” said Currie. “Yes,” answered Donaldson, who earlier testified that on April 30, 2010, he had been at a family function in the Bella Vista area, had two beers and returned to his Coldstream house. He said he got the keys to the family car, a 2006 Subaru Impreza, and was heading to his brother-inlaw’s house for a couple of hours. He left the house around 8:30 p.m.

integrated fire services.” Sawatzky defends his decision to not allow the Landing volunteers and a resident to appear before council. “They are legal and labour issues and we are constrained by law on what we can say. The reason the laws are brought in is to protect the individuals involved,” he said. “We do not negotiate contracts via delegations or petitions.” However, Coun. Patrick Nicol wants a discussion Dec. 10 about possibly allowing a resident to present the petition. In terms of council having another discussion about ending the contract, Sawatzky says that also won’t happen. “There is no new information and nothing for us to reconsider,” he said.

Verdicts conclude lengthy trial RogeR Knox Morning Star Staff

One of, if not, the longest court cases in B.C. history has ended with guilty verdicts for five North Okanagan men. Douglas Brownell, Peter Manolakos, Sheldon O’Donnell, Leslie Podolski and Dale Sipes – all five members of a gang police named the Greeks – were found guilty in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver Sunday for their roles in killing three men in the North Okanagan in 2004 and 2005. Sipes was found guilty of two counts of first degree murder; O’Donnell guilty on one count of first degree murder and two counts of second degree murder; Manolakos guilty of one count of first degree murder and one count of manslaughter; Podolski guilty of one count of first degree murder; and Brownell guilty on two counts of manslaughter. All were found guilty in connection with the deaths of David Marniuk, Ronald Thom and Thomas Bryce. “I’m very happy with the verdicts,” said RCMP Sgt.Al Haslett, one of the lead investigators into the killings. “The Crown counsel team that worked on this did a fantastic job. I’m very impressed with how hard they worked.” Judge Bill Smart thanked the jury for their service after the trial which began in May 2011. The case involved 25 lawyers and more than 100 Crown witnesses before the jury.

Five individuals have been found guilty in connection with for Thursday. his death, as well as the deaths of two other men.

No decision on location was made Monday, but if the gallery proceeds on the flower shop site, council has agreed to sell the 31st Avenue property to the Regional District of North Okanagan. That would align ownership with the agency responsible for culture. Opposition to selling the land came from Lord and Coun. Juliette Cunningham. “The public hasn’t had an opportunity for meaningful input on where the art gallery should go,” she said. “I run into people all of the time who don’t agree that it (flower shop) is the ideal site and they haven’t had an opportunity for

input.” O’Keefe, though, insists that substantial planning has evolved around the gallery at that site. “They can use Cenotaph Park across the road for arts programs,” she said.

Crown questions speed going into curve Continued from A1 Donaldson testified that “it was starting to drizzle and that the pavement was starting to get wet.” He said he was going along Kalamalka Road when he turned onto Aberdeen Road. “I was in fourth gear and going about 70 km/hour until the S curve, which is a gradual right, then a sharp curve,” said Donaldson. “I was slowing down to about 55 in the S curve. You can’t go faster than 50 in the left turn so I slowed down.” Under cross examination, Currie poked away at that statement, saying it was impossible to gear down from fourth gear to third gear and slow 15 km/h. “You would have lost control of your car if you were driving 60 km/h in the S curve,” Currie asked of Donaldson. “Yes,” was the reply. “Can you make it if you start the S curve

at 60 and slow in the middle?” asked Currie. “Possibly,” said Donaldson. “Did you try to do that that night?” “I slowed down before I got into the S curve. I was going less than 60 km/h and before the sharp left in the S curve I was going less than 50,” said Donaldson, who added he couldn’t say when he geared down in his vehicle before the sharp left turn. “Sometime before it and halfway through it I slowed down,” he said. Donaldson, who testified that he had laser eye surgery in 2007 which improved his eyesight but “at night the glare of lights seem really bright,” said that after he got past the S curve, he could see the intersection of Aberdeen Road and Highway 6, and that there was tall grass along the right-hand side so he couldn’t see any traffic at the intersection.

“Through the last right-hand curve, I looked in the rearview mirror, didn’t see anything, then saw a flash of headlights coming toward me,” said Donaldson. “I was scared of a head-on collision. I went left and accelerated into the oncoming lane. The headlights were straight in front of me coming toward me. I did not see anything else besides the headlights.” Donaldson said as the headlights went by his car on the right, he was looking at the car and started to steer his car to the right as it hit the shoulder, spitting up gravel. Then, he said, he felt a thump. “I was still looking right and saw a streak out of my left eye go over the top of the windshield,” he said. Donaldson told court he went back on three occasions – twice that night and once the next morning in daylight – to see if he

could see anything he might have hit. He also said his wife went to look twice and did not see anything. “I was shook up, scared and worried about what I hit,” he said. “I was worried I’d hit a person.” Currie spent Monday hammering away at the testimony of defence witness Kurt Isling, a Vancouver-based professional engineer. Isling, an expert in accident reconstruction, driver visibility, pedestrian impact and driver response times, testified his report on the accident differed from RCMP traffic reconstructionist expert Brian Nightingale’s testimony because “Nightingale used different factual assumptions than in my report.” In his report, Isling said one option that could have happened was Donaldson’s claim that he swerved to the left to avoid an oncom-

ing vehicle in his lane that had turned off Highway 6. Cu r r i e s ai d Donaldson had a clear view of a truck with its red taillights engaged stopped at Highway 6 prior to seeing the headlights of the oncoming vehicle. The case continues today.

Guilty plea in death of Coldstream man RogeR Knox Morning Star Staff

The man accused of killing a Coldstream pedestrian in downtown Kelowna just more than three years ago has entered a guilty plea. The Supreme Court trial of Bradley James Smith was set to start Monday morning in Kelowna. Smith, however, pled guilty to a count of driving with a bloodalcohol content greater than .08 in connection with an incident on Nov. 22, 2009 that killed Matthew Heenan, 23, of Coldstream. “We were surprised by the plea, we were expecting a trial,” said Mike Heenan, Matthew’s father, on Tuesday. “It’s been three years. Object of the Crown was to bring this person to trial. It was disappointing it didn’t get there.” Heenan was walking

at the intersection of Water and Ellis Streets, in downtown Kelowna, at around 2:30 a.m. when he was struck by a vehicle. Heenan was taken to Kelowna General Hospital, where he died from his injuries. The driver of the

vehicle remained on the scene, and he was detained for investigation of impaired driving. Police report the driver provided two samples of his breath at the Kelowna detachment. The samples were 150 and 140 mg/100 ml.

“We felt it would have been in the public interest to see this man brought to trial and we were fully prepared to sit through a trial,” said Mike Heenan. Sentencing for Smith will take place in provincial court at a later date.

To our valued customers: THANK-YOU for your continued support during the past year! We look forward to continuing to serve you!

Skiers will have access to 19 trails. “Our grooming machines have been track packing for about a week now and with the temperatures dipping in the past few days we have a really good base,” said Brad Baker, operations manager. “Once again our extensive summer grooming has paid off and we are out today starting to till and lay corduroy to make for a fantastic opening.” This year the resort will mark its

10 millionth skier and it has started its search. Based on the current total skiers and annual statistics, the resort is estimating it will reach this milestone by mid-season and the event will be marked with a special celebration. Cross-country skiing has been underway at the resort for about two weeks. Returning to Silver Star after their debut last year are the snowshoeing trails. The resort has now opened its 16 kilometres of single-track trails, which weave in and around the forested area around the village.

Weapons produced during robbery Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

A local convenience store was the victim of an armed robbery over the weekend. Two males entered the 7/11 on Middleton Way Saturday shortly after 1 a.m. wearing black hoodies, jeans and balaclavas.

Weapons were produced and an undisclosed amount of cash and cigarettes were stolen. “Our officers are not disclosing the weapons used in this offence at this time while they continue their investigation,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP

detachment spokesperson. One of the RCMP’s dog units tracked and located one suspect a short time later. “In all, three young men were arrested,” said Molendyk. Two suspects remain in custody, a 17-yearold and 16-year-old

A taxi driver ended up inadvertently delivering an illegal immigrant right to the RCMP’s doorstep Friday night. A Lake Country taxi driver dropped off an intoxicated Hispanic man at the rear of the detachment. “The cab driver said the man didn’t appear to know where he wanted to go and ran up a fare of $80 just from driving around aimlessly,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP

spokesperson. The man was arrested for being drunk in a public place and lodged in cells. But while the officers were dealing with him he supplied three different names. Officers called the Canadian Border Services Agency to see if they had any information relating to any of the names. “They had nothing in their records,” said Molendyk. “One of our officers spoke to him in Spanish and learned that the

suspect was not lawfully in the country.” He had no passport or ID on him. The suspect reported he crossed the border in the mountains in Montana on foot. “He’d been unlawfully in Canada since June,” said Molendyk. “He had been working picking fruit in the Okanagan since that time.” The 31-year-old Mexican immigrant has been detained under an immigration order and was expect-

ed to be transported to Vancouver Monday for a deportation hearing back to Mexico.

A r mst rong Spallumcheen firefighters couldn’t save someone’s home after a fire broke out Friday night. A travel trailer on Matheson Street was already engulfed by flames after firefighters got the call around 11 p.m. “There was nothing left of the trailer,” said chief Ian Cummings. The trailer was parked on a residence on Matheson, which is on Splatsin First Nation land, and was being lived in. But the occupant was not home at

the time of the blaze. While they could not save the trailer, firefighters did keep flames from spread-

Keep the doors open

ob Sawatzky promised accountability during last fall’s election campaign, but now that he’s mayor, some residents may question that commitment. He recently denied a request from a resident to present a 1,670-name petition opposed to Vernon council’s decision not to renew a service contract with Okanagan Landing volunteer firefighters. “They are legal and labour issues and we are constrained by law on what we can say. The reason the laws are brought in is to protect the individuals involved,” said Sawatzky in his defense. “We do not negotiate contracts via delegations or petitions.” Under provincial legislation, there are three categories deemed to be in-camera or confidential: land, labour and legal. Richard Rolke However, on the surface, it doesn’t appear that council would break the rules simply by receiving a petition and listening to the presenter. If council doesn’t enter into a debate with the delegation, no private details have been disclosed. It should also be pointed out that Sawatzky recently permitted a resident to make a pitch for purchasing a specific piece of property for park although land matters are in-camera. Sawatzky’s decision regarding the Landing firefighters troubles Patrick Nicol, a veteran councillor. “We’ve always accepted petitions. It’s freedom of thought,” said Nicol, who is pushing to have the petition ultimately presented by the resident. “I understand where there are some suggestions about it being a contract, but previously, the very same issue had a lot of public discus-

sions either way.” In 2009, the council-of-the-day was presented with a staff recommendation to place unionized personnel in the volunteer Landing hall. The entire proposal — which could be considered legal and labour — was debated in the open, including at a raucous, standing-room only meeting at Wesbild Centre. Ultimately, the powers-that-be shot the plan down. By not allowing a resident of the community to appear before their elected representatives, there may be the perception that the City of Vernon is not interested in being open and transparent. And that would be unfortunate as Sawatzky and his colleagues have taken great strides to shed light on city hall operations through a core review. Sawatzky is also one of the architects of the looming resolution of Greater Vernon’s parks dispute and most of the horsetrading between the jurisdictions was done publicly. In terms of the Landing firefighters’ contract, Sawatzky and three of his councillors raised their hands in favour of a new command structure. That is their right and one has to believe they did so with the community’s best interests at heart. No one is asking council to break provincial legislation and disclose the details of private discussions. But a decision was made and the outcome of those discussions was released to the public. Being elected to public office means you are accountable to those who put you there, and that means having to accept both praise and criticism. If those council members who supported scrapping the Landing contract are confident in the route they took, they have no reason to hide.

Leadership has been taken on the cultural front. Both the Vernon Public Art Gallery and the Greater Vernon Museum were reminded Monday that any responsibility for expanded facilities and how to fund them rests with the elected officials and ultimately local taxpayers. “How this process moves forward is totally in our control,” said Rob Sawatzky, Vernon mayor. “It’s our job. We take final responsibility on what goes to the public.” It’s not enough to say that both organizations have worked hard putting plans together and they simply be allowed to go to referendum. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee, which oversees culture, must determine if the scope of the plans will actually meet the long-term community needs and if they include sound financial reasoning, including operational costs. It is also natural for the City of Vernon to have a say on whether there should be two separate facilities or one as culture can be a strong anchor in revitalization of the downtown core. How the gallery and museum link with other uses, such as parks and residential, must be closely considered. Obviously standards at the existing museum and gallery are below standard, and members of both groups may consider new structures a priority. But when going to the public for support — particularly for possibly $17.5 million — all plans must be thoroughly examined. And once again, that responsibility falls on the politicians because if the referendum succeeds, they have to ensure the project comes in on budget. If the vote fails, they are the ones wearing egg on their faces.

Column generates response

would like to provide your readers with some important information regarding British Columbia's meat inspection system (Out of touch, Nov. 14, 2012). You can be assured I am well aware of the industry concerns as we work towards a new meat inspection program for B.C. That is why, since being appointed Agriculture Minister in September, I have spent a significant amount of time in communities across the province - including the RDNO - hearing first-hand from stakeholders and industry and community leaders. This is not as straightforward an issue as your column suggests. There are diverse opinions on the subject, and while your paper has eloquently expressed one view it is only one side of the story. driving knowledge It is sadly apparent that many drivers on the road show little or no knowledge of B.C. driving laws. One day, as I turned right into the right lane when it was safe to do so, a lady that was turning left onto the same roadway, from across the intersection, cuts straight across the lanes, honks at me as she pushes her way into the right lane right in front of my car nearly causing an accident. She made it clear, by her stubborn look, that she thought she had the right away. I am sure this happens on a daily basis and may seem trivial to some, but it is important to realize that road safety is not just about paying attention and being cautious, it invariably includes proper knowledge of the road laws currently in effect in BC. The law is called the "Motor Vehicle Act" of B.C. This law book holds the legal rules of the road which ICBC will use to determine if you made an error in an accident. It is also not uncommon for police to issue tickets to all drivers involved in the accident when all the drivers violated the Motor Vehicle Act, whether or not the violation contributed to the accident. In the case of my real life example, the lady violated the law by failing to enter the highway onto the left lane, being the first violation and the second one was making an unsafe lane change, since she

The underlying challenge is to devise a system that is able to accommodate the needs of small producers and respects the investments they have in their land, while also respecting the investments people have made in large abattoirs. All the while we must be guided by the most important principles of ensuring consumer health and safety and improving meat standards. In closing, I will say this; consumer safety is paramount, and when the final decision is made British Columbians can be confident that their new provincial meat inspection system will support the highest standards of food safety. norm letnick, Minister of agriculture

nearly impacted with me. If this lady caused an accident, ICBC would find her at fault for crossing the lanes unsafely and not driving in the left lane where she was supposed to after her left turn. To locate a copy of the Motor Vehicle Act, there are two methods. One is to attend the BC government website called BC Laws at: http://www.bclaws.ca where you can order a copy for a fee. The other, being free, is to open your Internet browser and go to Google search, enter "motor vehicle act BC" (with no quotes) and the first ones listed in the search results will be the correct links. In reference to my real life experience, people should read section 165, "Turning at intersections". With the way it is written, it means to turn left at the intersection into the left lane (lane immediately to the right of the center line). Also section 151 addresses changing lanes unsafely. If people would take the time to read the Motor Vehicle Act and know what the law says, maybe there would be fewer accidents. Remember, in traffic court, ignorance of the traffic laws is not an excuse or justification for your actions. Consider this as a last note. ICBC and local police input a fair amount of manpower, man hours, costs and resources to address the number of road violations on a daily

basis. This does not include the cost of the courts as well. Why is this? People just do not spend the time to learn the laws of the road and think they can do what they want. That money paid to deal with offenders comes from taxpayers pockets. If there is a need to reduce the cost to taxpayers, this is surely one of them instead of focusing on legalizing marijuana. Mark warbinek MuseuM/gallery Your article in a recent paper regarding the need of both the museum and the art gallery for new premises was interesting. I would hope most voters in Greater Vernon do recognize these needs. Is Mr. Christensen the spokesperson for everyone at the art gallery because I find his comments to be divisive and somewhat condescending? Perhaps the gallery has had the resources to put together a complete package while the museum has not. They said it was nearly complete. To imply the museum is a latecomer is very unfair and misleading as they have been lobbying for more space for years. Culture encompasses many things besides art - music, literature, achievements and heritage are but a few. We have a fine purpose-built

Season’s Greetings This year we will again solicit

our readers for their

performing arts centre and a lovely new library because the citizens recognized the need for them. No one aspect is superior or posher than the other. Instead of being divisive and me first, perhaps the two groups could show a bit of class and culture by working together for the benefit of both and the community as a whole. A large purpose-built building on the old Coldstream Hotel property would be entirely suitable and an enormous asset to the citizens of Greater Vernon. It is central to everything with ample parking area plus is now very accessible by transit, and yes I understand transit users do attend the art gallery and events. Wasn't Midsummer Eve of the Arts held at the cenotaph site this year? Certainly in the short-term it would cost more today to build one joint facility but that is terribly short sighted. Renovating one or two places is penny wise and totally pound foolish! Has not the art gallery already had one expansion from the upstairs premise on 30th Street to their present location? How long before they will want to move yet again? What happens in 15 to 20 years from now? Foresight was shown when the present city hall complex was built. Now is our turn to show foresight and build properly for the future of our community. Three cheers for Mr. Macnabb

and Ms. Lord of the GVAC for their commonsense approach and let's hope a few others can get involved and on board as well. Personally, I would vote Yes for a new joint facility but would vote No for patchwork renovations. P. J. sault

example, Kal Beach, and the parking lot, will no longer be owned by the City of Vernon but will become a subregional park, owned by the Regional District of North Okanagan. “There are a whole slew of parks that will be transferred back to us,” said Michael Stamhuis, Coldstream’s chief administrative officer. The implementation is anticipated to take effect in approximately one year. Coldstream is also gaining a new park on

Buchanan Road. Land was bestowed to the district approximately 10 years ago with the passing of Vi Morphet. But a dispute over the land ensued and went to court. A settlement was reached last year and following subdivision of the property, Coldstream now has a two-to three acre parcel. “The stipulation in the will is that it be a dog park,” said Stamhuis. Fencing and naming of the park is expected to take place in April 2013 by RDNO.

After years of debate, service reviews and endless disagreements, Coldstream is finally gaining ownership of its local parks. The district initiated discussions over control of parks in 2009, following concerns about maintenance in Lavington Park. The debate ensued, service reviews were conducted on the Greater Vernon parks function, and years later, a memorandum of understanding was put together. Coldstream will review the MOU at its council meeting Monday. The MOU basically states that local parks will return to the local jurisdiction, with some trading going on. For

Coldstream politicians are suggesting some cost cutting changes to a proposed sports complex next to Okanagan College.

Complex under scrutiny Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

Coldstream is looking at saving regional taxpayers some money by cutting requirements for the proposed sports complex. Voters are expected to go to referendum in April to decide whether Greater Vernon should borrow $8.5 million for a running track and sports field next to Okanagan College. If approved, the development (being within Coldstream boundaries) could be subject to an estimated $450,000 in off-site works – sidewalks, curbs and gutters. Coldstream politicians have suggested that a trail might be more appropriate for the site, and would in turn cut down on the costs. “I think that makes good sense,” said Coun. Pat Cochrane. “I don’t

think that’s a spot where a sidewalk makes sense anyway.” More details of the referendum will be discussed at a special GVAC meeting this morning. The meeting will also look at the request from the art gallery and museum to be included in the spring referendum for construction of a new facility. But Mayor Jim Garlick says there’s a lot more work needed before a referendum can be held to construct a new art gallery and museum. “I’m supportive of it happening at some time but I think that’s a long process just as this has been a long process,” said Garlick of the sports complex. “It started with the Spicer block (failed referendum on Aberdeen Road in 2007).”

3107 - 32nd Street, Vernon (across from KFC)

Monday during the opening day of Mantler’s trial on a charge of assault causing bodily harm to Tavares. That January morning, Tavares, who had recently been released from hospital after a motorcycle accident he was not expected to survive, stopped by his former workplace. Tavares stopped in at the Harvest Golf Club and chatted with an employee before going to the second fairway to fire off a shotgun to scare the geese away. It is something Tavares had done many times before, he testified. After completing the task, Tavares drove toward the courthouse to deal with an issue related to his marital separation when he noticed a police vehicle do a U-turn at Gordon Drive and KLO Road. Soon after, as he neared Pandosy Street, he spotted police lights in his rear view mirror and pulled over to let the vehicle pass, Tavares testified. “I thought he was going where the other cops were going,” the now 53-year-old said. Instead, he found himself staring at a police officer who had trained his gun on him. The officer told him to keep his hands on the

Geoff Mantler’s assault trial is underway. wheel. “If one comes off, I will shoot you,” Tavares recalls the officer saying. “I froze, I did not move,” said Tavares. “Had you ever had a gun pointed at you before?” asked Crown counsel William Burrows. “Never,” said Tavares. “[It was the] most unnerving moment I’ve ever had.” “I asked him, ‘what did I do?’” testified Tavares. The officer did not respond to the question and soon asked Tavares to take his right hand off the wheel and unfasten his seat belt – a command Tavares found to be a “loaded statement” in light of the officer’s earlier command to not move.

Tavares said he was “not quick” as he got out of the vehicle. The officer told him to get on the ground and Tavares said he got on his knees before placing his hands on the ground. “What’s your next recollection?” asked Burrows. “Being placed in the back of a police car.” Earlier, the court heard from video journalist Kelly Hayes, who captured video of Tavares’ arrest. Hayes testified that as Tavares was about to put his hands on the pavement, Mantler “took some steps toward him and then he kicked him in the face.” Prior to the kick, Hayes testified that

he heard Mantler tell Tavares to “get on the ground...at least five times.” Hayes testified he couldn’t recall the content of Mantler’s commands to Tavares prior to him getting out of the truck. On Tuesday, Tavares was cross examined by defence lawyer Neville McDougall and bristled when he was questioned in detail about what happened the day of the incident. “I had a second brain injury, declared by my doctors, compliments of Mr. Mantler,” said Tavares. “I don’t have a clear memory, minute by minute, from two years ago.” He disagreed with a defence assertion that the first time he was back at the golf course to scare off geese was the day he was arrested by Mantler. “Why don’t we call in Trudi Tavares [ex-wife] to verify. She wasn’t kicked in the head.” Outside court, Tavares indicated he wasn’t confident that the truth would come out during the trial. “This is a dog and pony show,” he said Monday. Mantler’s trial is expected to last two weeks. He is currently suspended without pay.

Armstrong lights up the holiday season Thursday RogeR Knox Morning Star Staff

The Christmas season in ArmstrongSpallumcheen kicks off with a multicultural theme. T he an nu al Ar mst rong Spallumcheen Downtown Light Up helps kick off Christmas in the region on Thursday. “Our theme this year is It’s a Small World,” said Patti Noonan, executive director of the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce. “It’s a multicultural theme so we’re encouraging all businesses to have multicultural decorations or things that are global.” Events for the big light up actually commence Thursday morning when kids from Armstrong’s schools will decorate the big Christmas tree at the corner of Okanagan Street and Pleasant Valley Road beside Margarieta’s Place. The decorating runs throughout the day

and when the kids are finished, they receive a treat bag courtesy of downtown merchants which will be delivered by a “special guest.” As the decorating goes on, some of the downtown stores will be having light up day specials. The Brown Derby will play host to the Mostly Minis’ mini goats from its petting zoo. At 4 p.m., activities will begin in the area of Spirit Square, including cookie decorating. B.C. Hydro will be on-hand to discuss its LightSmart program, and the Royal Canadian Legion will be cooking up hot dogs and hamburgers. The light-up’s main event - the annual parade, featuring Santa Claus, will start with marshalling at 5:15 p.m. The nighttime parade, the only one of its kind in the region, starts promptly at 6 p.m. The parade route starts at the back of the Village Cheese Company and goes

down Pleasant Valley to Shepherd’s (Home Hardware), down to Margarieta’s, makes the loop and goes down the other side of the oneway to the police station. “Santa Claus, who will be riding on a fire truck, will make another half-loop back to Spirit Square,” said Noonan. Santa will hop off the fire truck and throw the switch to officially light

up the downtown and announce Christmas has come to Armstrong and Spallumcheen. “It’s getting bigger every year,” said Noonan of the light up festival and parade. “We figure most of the people in Armstrong come out for it.” The 2011 crowd for the parade was estimated at between 1,000 and 1,500 people. After Santa Claus lights up the town,

there will be a chance for kids to visit with him at Spirit Square. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, however, Santa will move to one of the downtown restaurants in order to visit with the children. Those planning on attending light up are asked to dress for the weather. “It (weather) is unpredictable at this time of year,” said Noonan. “We could

have clear skies, we could have rain or we could have a snow storm. So come prepared.” There are several new entries in this year’s parade, and the chamber has donated

several new strings of lights for the light up. Santa Claus will stick around for part of the weekend to kick off Christmas celebrations. He’ll be at the Leaf and Bean from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.

Road safety blitz reveals loads of infractions JennifeR Smith Morning Star Staff

A seven-hour road safety blitz targeting light trucks resulted in more than 75 tickets and notices being issued last week. The Integrated Road Safety Unit initiated a check of light duty commercial vehicles at the Vernon weigh scales Nov. 21. The check is aimed at what RCMP call a serious problem of overweight and underlicensed pickups pulling trailers throughout B.C. “It’s a huge issue on the roads as drivers are pulling large trailers and heavy loads without licencing their vehicles to carry or tow the weights,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “Not only is this a safety concern but also a large per cent of these drivers are significantly over their licenced weight and in breach of their insurance policies.” The blitz resulted in 40 trucks being checked and a number of violations were discovered. The list includes attempts to bypass the weigh scales, overweight trucks, uninsured vehicles, one driver without a licence, notices of corrective measures for vehicle defects, a few impaired drivers were discovered and there were even some minor drug seizures. “It just shows you what is out there on a daily basis,” said Molendyk, adding that most of the checks were done during daylight.

Vernon brothers are ready to unveil their latest robot creations. Okanagan College will host the seventh annual Western Canada RoboCup Junior Games Friday at the Kelowna campus. Returning this year are defending RoboCup Junior World champions Hudson and Nelson Schier. The two young Vernon brothers honed their skills at successive Western Canada events at the college before impressing judges with a win in the dance competition at the 2011 World event held in Istanbul, Turkey where 251 teams and 951 students took part. This time, the brothers will be competing separately – 15-year-old Hudson will represent Clarence Fulton Secondary School in the secondary rescue category, while 13-year-old Nelson will represent Vernon Secondary School in the primary soccer category. The RoboCup will feature 76 teams. “This marks a record for this competition, with more than 197 students from 22 schools in the Okanagan Valley,” said Nadir Ould-Khessal, Okanagan College electronic engineering

Glittering Christmas trees and one of a kind art pieces are the feature attractions during the ninth annual Celebration of Trees and Art Auction Thursday. The Vernon and District Association for Community Living event started as a way for clients of VDACLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art program to show some of the work they were doing, and the idea soon became a seasonal hit to support some of the programming done by the organization. There will be a wide variety of silent auction items, and a live auction with Vernon auctioneer Kevin Rothwell selling exquisitely decorated trees and original artworks created by VDACL program teams. The event happens Thursday at the Best Western Vernon Lodge, with cocktails at 5 p.m. and dinner at 6:30 p.m. There is an auction and dancing to follow. For tickets ($35), contact VDACL at vdacl@ shawcable.com or 250-542-2374. The Vernon and District Association for Community Living is a non-profit, communitybased organization, serving persons with developmental disabilities in Vernon and the surrounding communities. Founded in 1955, VDACL is the oldest organization of its nature in Vernon. The association serves more than 200 participants, offers 13 distinctive programs and employs more than 70 staff members.

Okanagan campus. The Interprofessional Clinic is a collaborative venture between the Schools of Social Work and Nursing in the Faculty of Health and Social Development and the Psychology Department in the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences. The clinic will undertake an initial study into new treatments for nine-to-14year-olds who are currently on a program of prescribed antipsychotic drugs. The study is being funded by a $50,000 gift from the RBC Foundation through UBC’s start an evolution campaign. “Through the RBC Children’s Mental Health Project, we are committed to assisting organizations and programs that reduce stigma, provide early intervention and increase awareness about children’s mental health issues,” says Karen Borring-Olsen, regional vice-resident, RBC Royal Bank. “We are proud to support the Interprofessional Practice Clinic at UBC; we believe this project will make a meaningful dif-

ference for the families directly involved and future families through the generation of critical research.” Edward Taylor, director of the School of Social Work and associate dean of the Faculty of Health and Social Development, says the study will have an initial enrollment of 15 to 20 youth patients and their families starting in late December or early January 2013. “The research project will provide intervention for de-escalating aggressive behaviour and working with physicians and families to determine if antipsychotic medications can be safely decreased.” The study will use a combination of strategies to provide individual case management, family support and family education as a service provided to the community. Researchers will offer patients intense, individual treatments in an effort to reduce use of anti-psychotic medications. The results are expected to help identify individuals who are candidates for this type of treatment and factors that contribute to suc-

cessful outcomes. “We will manage links to all of the components of community, school, physicians and family to help develop a coordinated effort that is not available through normal channels,” says Taylor. The Interprofessional Clinic will also be used as a teaching centre. Graduate students from the School of Social Work and Psychology Department preparing to become front-line mental health workers will provide clinical support. Students from the School of Nursing will gain clinical knowledge, skills and expertise. The nursing focus will be on intervening with families experiencing difficulties managing chronic and lifelimiting illnesses, says Carole Robinson, associate professor of nursing. “An important aspect of the interprofessional approach is that students from different disciplines in nursing, psychology and social work will have the opportunity to learn with, about and from each other,” says Robinson.

National Child Day officially celebrated in Vernon Morning Star Staff

National Child Day was recently recognized in the North Okanagan and across B.C. and Canada. Nov. 20 was the anniversary of the signing of the United Nations

Convention on the Rights of Children and is recognized annually to highlight children’s rights at home and around the world and to formally acknowledge the importance of valuing and respecting

our children. In 2011-12, the North Okanagan Branch of the Early Childhood Educators of B.C. partnered with the City of Vernon and members of the North Okanagan Early Childhood

Vernon Mayor Rob Sawatzky accepts a plaque outlining the Children’s Charter of Rights from North Okanagan Child Care Society preschoolers Harland Wilson (from left) Mya Loxam, Simon Heidt and Ben McMeeking-Walsh for National Child Day.

lors, have a tour of the council chambers and receive cookies from the city. The young children, between the ages of one and six, came from child care centres, preschools, and with their families. Many participated in “crazy hair” day or wore special hats that said “I am a Star.” Four children presented Mayor Rob Sawatzky with a large plaque of the Children’s Charter and shook his hand. Some of the children had read a story that morning about a

mayor and the child care providers reported that many children were awed to have met the mayor and even were able to shake his hand. The mayor presided over a very crowded chamber and showed them the special buttons, the gavel and the chairs in which the mayor and councillors sit in order to carry out their work of “looking after Vernon.” To thank the mayor, councillors and city staff who hosted this visit, the children provided an impromptu rendition of Twinkle

Twinkle, Little Star. Many of the adults present found it very heartwarming to see our youngest citizens welcomed and celebrated by our municipal government and commented that they exhibited exceptionally good behaviour within the council chambers. Many of these very young children walked quite a distance and created an interesting parade through town. A number of them also enjoyed playing in the natural environment of the Spirit Square outside of city hall.

News RCMP evacuated one employee from Cora’s restaurant, beside Color Me Mine, before fire crews arrived and residents from the nearby apartments were removed from their suites. Two years ago, the rental apartments burned in a similar middle-of-the-night blaze and close to 100 people lost their homes in one of the uglier fire incidents in the city’s recent history.

HOPFNER, Genevieve Marie (nee Lenz) 1928 - 2012

Gen passed away peacefully with her family by her side on Friday, November 23, 2012 in Calgary at the age of 84 years. Gen has now gone to join Del, her soul mate of forty-nine years. She will be dearly missed by her daughters, Sharon, Lorna (Chuck Marsh), Kathy (Roy Kloepper); her son Gerry (Alla); her grandchildren, Steven (Jen), Joey (Stacey), Christy, Larissa, and Anthony, and great-granddaughter, Presley. Gen is also survived by her sister Marie (Sandy Cameron). Gen was an active member in the CWL for over sixty years, and a dedicated member of the Church. Gen’s passion for music since a young girl led her to inspire and enrich the lives of many. She enjoyed ballroom dancing with the love of her life, along with golfing, curling, cross-country skiing, and travelling. Playing Bridge was a necessary weekly event. Gen was well known for her culinary talents and hospitality. Many of us tried in vain to duplicate her recipes, but never quite measured up. Gen was a very devoted and loving mother, and her children and grandchildren benefited greatly from her support and attention.

New rules saving lives jeff nagel Black Press

B.C.’s toughened roadside penalties on drinking drivers are being credited for cutting alcohol-related crash deaths for a second straight year. The province estimates 104 lives have been saved since the immediate roadside prohibition (IRP) system took effect in September 2010. That’s based on a drop from an average of 114 impaired fatalities prior to the new rules to 66 in the first full year of the IRP program and 58 in the second year. Provincial government officials say the initiative has drastically changed British Columbian attitudes to drinking and getting behind the wheel. “As you drive home late at night, the car coming toward you is far less likely to be piloted by an impaired driver than at any time in recent years,” Justice Minister Shirley Bond said. She said B.C. is so far averaging a 46 per cent drop in drunk driving fatalities – better than a target of 35 per cent set in 2010 in honour of impaired driving victim Alexa Middelaer. The roadside penalties can result in licence suspensions, vehicle impoundments and can cost drivers $600 to $4,000 in administrative penalties and remedial program costs. The new approach has also meant a major shift away from criminal prosecu-

tion of suspected impaired drivers, which consumes much police investigation and court time. A June survey of drivers in five communities (Vancouver, Abbotsford, Kelowna, Prince George and Saanich) found the lowest levels of drinking and driving ever recorded in a series of similar surveys dating

back to 1995. Nearly 60 per cent fewer drivers who agreed to be tested for the survey were at or over the 0.08 criminal blood-alcohol level than in past years, and there was a 44 per cent drop in those who tested in the warn range above 0.05. Drivers aged 25 to 54 were most likely to

say their behaviour has changed due to the new sanctions and those under 25 were most likely to say they never drink and drive. The tests found no drivers aged 16 to 18 who had been drinking, which is thought to be a benefit of B.C.’s graduated licensing system that restricts novice and learners to a zero blood alcohol content.

Plenty of chirping, a decent scrap, emotions red-lining and a playoff vibe – the second leg of a home-and-home set between the Vernon Vipers and Penticton Vees had it all Saturday night. After dropping the opening B.C. Hockey League tilt the night before, the Vees rebounded with a workmanlike effort to secure a split with a 3-1 win in front of 2,000 fans at Wesbild Centre. The result puts Penticton (17-7-0-2) back into a two-way tie for first overall with the Chilliwack Chiefs (17-6-1-1). Vernon is fifth in the Interior at 9-10-0-6. “Both games were playoffstyle hockey games,” said Vees’ head coach Fred Harbinson. “You’ve got to give Vernon credit – they came into our building and found a way to win. I give our guys credit for finding a way to win in another tough place in the BCHL.” With Viper newcomer Liam Board serving a hooking minor, the Vees’ Sam Mellor (7th goal) fired the winner on a late firstperiod powerplay. “It was just a knuckle puck from the point and it found a way in,” said Mellor, named first star. “I was pretty pumped about it. “We thought we deserved the win (Friday). We thought we outplayed them a little, so it was good to come back here and rebound.” Mellor left the NCAA AlaskaAnchorage Seawolves after one season to return to Junior A. He has since recommitted to the Western Michigan Broncos. The former Trail Smoke Eater credited Penticton’s line of Cody Depourcq, Travis Blanleil and Cam Amantea for hound-

s a m t s i r Ch

ing Vernon’s No. 1 unit – Pearce Eviston, Adam Tambellini and Logan Mick – all weekend. Eviston must have noticed their presence too, as he gave Depourcq a face full of mitt right in front on the Penticton bench behind the play. “You go at it a few times with them and the emotions are pretty high there,” said the 20-yearold Vancouver product. “You start to despise the guys on the other team when you play two games in a row.” Depourcq’s unit generated the Vees’ first goal as Amantea (3rd) used a slick top-shelf finish over Austin Smith’s glove after Tambellini (18th) had given Vernon the lead on the Vipers’ first and only man advantage of the game. Penticton defender Sean Flanagan showed great hands and patience to find Amantea in the slot. Tambellini’s goal came midway through the first period when his quick release from the top of the right circle deflected off a shin pad to beat Chad Katunar (28 saves). Katunar had denied Tambellini on a backhand from in close in the opening minute. “We got a couple big saves early in the game and it was a good push back after we gave up that powerplay goal,” said Harbinson. “We talked about putting the puck in areas we could get to it first and we did a better job on our forecheck tonight than (Friday). We were pretty efficient tonight.” The Vees sealed the win with Brad McClure’s 15th of the season. The Stratford, Ont. native took a drop pass from Mellor and beat Smith (29 saves) blocker side with four minutes to play.

Midgets make semifinal shootout Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Home Building Centre Vipers lost 2-1 in a shootout to the Kelowna Fripps Warehouse Rockets in Saturday’s semifinal of the Columbia Bitulithic Midget Tier 1 Hockey Tournament in Prince George. Logan Geefs scored for the Vipers in regulation. Geefs and Blaine Caton were both stoned by the Rockets’ goalie in the shootout, while Kelowna used some great moves to score twice on Bruin Stair, who was sensational in regulation. The Vipers then bowed 4-3 to the Prince George Coast Inn of the North Cougars in consolation play Sunday after getting shelled 7-1 by the Cougars in the round-robin. The Cats crushed Vernon 10-1 in the final of the Vipers’ home tournament earlier this season. Richard Meaney, Travis Churchill and Caton scored in support of a dialed-in Jayden Campbell. Jacob Dolinar recorded four snipes as the Vipers bounced the Chilliwack Bruins 6-4 before stuffing the Mission Stars 5-1. “I thought we played some of our best hockey of the year against some very highlyranked teams.,” said Home Building Centre head coach Rob Spraggs, assisted by Scott Flood and Mike Burke. “We completely dominated every team at times and went for long stretches in the periods where the opposition couldn’t get a shot on net and could only ice the puck to relieve the pressure. “In the semifinal game versus Kelowna, we completely dominated them, but couldn’t find a way through their goalkeeper. Bruin and Jayden were outstanding all weekend in goal, making some huge saves at key times. We made a big statement this weekend that we will be a serious contender in the new year.” The Vipers face the touring California U16 Selects Saturday morning (9:45) at Wesbild Centre.

Sladen Moore Vipers finish fifth

The Sladen Moore Female Vipers iced the host Kamloops Mystix 4-0 Sunday to finish fifth in a Bantam Girls Rep tournament. Paige Chapdelaine scored in the first on a power play and then Cailee Bauml extended the lead when she corralled her own rebound on a goal-mouth scramble. Hunter Joseph scored shorthanded with a hard slap shot and Olivia Comeau completed the offence late in the third. Maya Baker earned the shutout. The Lakers opened by icing the Surrey

Falcons 5-2 on goals from Mairyn Tucker (2), Taylor Vandale, Comeau and Andie Kaneda. Vernon then fell 4-0 to North Shore before losing 7-1 to Terrace. Kaneda, after a nice set up by Jenna Fletcher, gave Vernon the lead on Terrace. Bailey Berndt was in goal versus Terrace. In Pee Wee Tier 1 play, the Watkin Motors Mustangs erased a 3-1 deficit to gain a 3-3 tie with Kelowna Saturday at the Capital News Centre. Jordan Wilde was rock-solid in net and goals came from Dylan Sedlacek (Dawson Chase, Coleton Bilodeau), Bilodeau (Powell Connor, Drayden Dougan) and Nick Cherkowski (Connor, Juli Gilowski). The Mustangs bowed 7-2 to the Kamloops Jardine Blazers Sunday at Wesbild Centre. Mika Burns (Rowan Miller, Joe Eggert) and Caden Bracken (Colton Schaper-Kotter, Josh Bridge) counted the 3-5 Vernon goals. The Mustangs entertain Kelowna Friday at 6 p.m. at Priest Valley Arena and then take on Prince George Sunday (12:30 p.m.) at Wesbild.

Bantam Vikings take B final title

The Vernon Auto Fix Vikings defeated the Westside Warriors 3-1 in the B Final of the Salmon Arm Bantam Tier 3 tourney Sunday afternoon. Brian Ferguson, Colton Skead and Logan Imrich handled the Vikings’ offence. Vernon put pressure on the Warriors all game, using good hustle and physical play to keep them hemmed in their own zone for long stretches at a time. Led by some fabulous goaltending by Ethan Huizinga and Conor Webb, Vernon defeated the Salmon Arm SilverBacks 4-2 in the early game to advance to the finals. Heavy hitter Carl Main netted two goals with d-man Jason Shaigec adding a single along with an empty netter from Stephane Richard. The Vikings rallied to clip Westside 4-3 in a tough, physical round-robin game Saturday night. Trailing 3-0 entering the third, Vernon stormed back with MVP Kyle Sherwood reeling off three goals in less than four minutes to level the score. Assists went to Logan Imrich and Liam Hennig. With 1:34 left, Hennig knocked in the rebound from call-up Brett Lambert’s shot to seal the comeback. Huizinga made several stellar saves to keep the score close. In earlier action, the Vikes lost 5-1 to

Bryan Brew, Matthew Dolinar, Eli Dwyer, Kord Haller, Brett Zbytnuik and Wesley Graves accounted for the Knights’ goals. Michael Kormany earned four assists, while Brandon Matvenko pocketed two in support of Wyatt Fowler.

Venom, Wolfpack remain undefeated

In Senior Atom Development action, the Vernon H&L Glass Wolfpack skated to a thrilling 1-1 tie with the Kamloops Nailers Saturday morning at Wesbild Centre. The 8-0-1 Wolfpack outshot Kamloops 57-17 but could only sneak one goal past the rock solid goaltending of Kamloops. The Nailers opened the scoring midway through the second period before Logan

Chapdelaine tied it up before the end of the second. Trevor Kennedy and Steel Quiring drew assists. The Valley Wood Venom crushed the Kelowna #1 Capitals 14-1, toppled the Kamloops #1 Blazers 6-1 and ambushed Merritt 15-2 in Senior Atom league home action. Lochlan O’Keefe supplied 4+1 against Kelowna, while Jacob Boden, Cameron Moger and Jakob Jones each bagged a deuce and singles went to Brayden Szeman, Gavin Medema, Coletyn Boyarski and Scott Gilowski. Boyarski had four assists, while Owen Beliveau, Medema and Moger had two apiece. The Venom got two snipes from O’Keefe and Tysen Fairweather and singles from Moger and Boyarski versus Kamloops. Jones, Moger and Boden each registered two helpers. Kobe Grant and Owen Swiscoski were stellar in the 9-0 Venom net.

Bears bounce Heat Morning Star Staff

Continued from B1

“We had a few breakdowns on the third goal,” said Vipers’ assistant coach Dave Robinson. “A few guys were trying to leave the zone (after the faceoff).” Robinson liked the Vipers’ overall effort but said they needed to do more to stifle Penticton’s talent. “We have to take the game to them because they’re so skilled,” he said. “They’ve got team speed and they’ll take advantage of you if you’re sitting back. “Even though we lost tonight, I think it’s a confidence booster. First-place team and we go in there and take two points from them. It’s definitely something to build off.” Brendan Persley and James De Haas dropped the mitts in a spirited bout late in the second frame. Persley opened with a couple of hard rights to the button, but De Hass came right back with a flurry of his own to earn a draw.

Mitch Van Teeling of the Vernon Vipers tries to tie up Sam Mellor of the Penticton Vees in B.C. Hockey League action Saturday night at Wesbild Centre. Penticton won 3-1 to salvage a home-and-home split. Vernon opens another home-and-home with the West Kelowna Warriors (10-7-1-6) Friday night at Royal LePage Place. Rylan Ferster’s squad visits Wesbild Saturday. SNAKE BITES: The Vipers are 6-3-0-1 in their last 10 games. The Warriors are 2-51-2...Just four points separate sixth place (Trail, 23) and third (West Kelowna, 27)...Vernon’s powerplay has steadily risen in recent weeks and is now 10th

in the league at 18.75 per cent. Penticton’s is third-last at 17.09 per cent...Former Viper Steven Weinstein, now with the NCAA Bentley Falcons, is Player of the Week in the Atlantic Hockey Association. Weinstein had a goal and three assists as Bentley split a pair of games against Mercyhurst. The Los Angeles native had all three helpers in Saturday’s 5-1 Falcons win. He now leads all NCAA d-men with 14 points.

The UBC Okanagan Heat could not match the No. 1 ranked University of Alberta Golden Bears men’s volleyball team’s depth as the home team posted a straight-sets victory (25-16, 25-20, 25-14) at Saville Community Sports Centre. The Bears, on the strength of 39 kills from eight different players, were victorious in the Sunday afternoon contest and swept the two-game weekend series. For the Heat, veteran outside hitters Riley McFarland (5th year, Surrey) and Greg Niemantsverdriet (4th year, Vernon) collected eight kills each, while rookie setter Kristof Schlagintweit (Abbotsford) dug up six balls. UBC Okanagan continues to struggle offensively, still trying to work in eight new players as well as survive the absence of their all-star, fifth year, outside hitter, Nate Speijer (Penticton). The team hit for a discouraging 8.85 per cent average over the two-game set. Things don’t get any easier for the Heat this weekend as they welcome the back-to-back national champions in the Trinity Western Spartans, who currently sit second in Canada West, for a two-game homestand. In men’s hoops, an emphatic slam dunk by Azi Fahandeg-Sadi (4th year,

Kelowna) at 5:36 in the fourth quarter sparked the Heat offence, but it was not enough, as UBC Okanagan bowed 74-68 to the Regina Cougars. A cold-shooting first half (27.8 per cent) put the Heat in a deep hole early, but the Heat managed to claw their way back with under one minute to play in the fourth quarter. A foul by Sterling Nostedt (5th year, Brandon) of Regina put Anwar Faza (3rd year, Ottawa) at the line with 46 seconds remaining, and converting both free-throws put the Heat within six. Faza then put the Heat within five points after a layup at 0:28. “The guys battled as hard as they could to get back in the game,” said Heat head coach Pete Guarasci. “But the mental focus just wasn’t there from the start.” Fahandeg-Sadi finished with 20 points and 7 rebounds, while first-year guard Mitch Goodwin (Kelowna and former PVSS Saint) snagged 23 points. In women’s hoops, No. 3 Regina brushed back the Heat 76-64. Emily Kanester (2nd year, Vernon) finished the night with her first double-double of the season with 13 points and 11 rebounds. Kystal Schouten (3rd year, Winnipeg) rung 20 points, while Sarah Allison (2nd year, Surrey) had an off night with just 11 points. The Heat are 3-5.

Renegades net first victory Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Newalta Renegades recorded their first Tween B ringette win of the season at home Sunday, downing Kelowna 3-1 at Priest Valley Arena. Goals came from Mason Christensen, Miranda Chapple and Marika Munroe. Ellen Campbell and Sophie Granley stepped up in support of netminder Alisha Smith. Chelsea McNabb, Jill Pipke, Maklaya Vanderzwan and Natalie Ethier added plenty of hustle for the Renegades. In Tween A action, the Vernon Cornerstone Dental Rush remained undefeated with a 3-1 win over Kelowna Sunday morning. Kelowna went up 1-0 before Vernon replied with a strike by Alyssa Racine, taking a nice feed up the middle from Saige Woodliffe. Woodliffe added Vernon’s second goal half way through the second period. The play started on an outlet pass from Saylor Martian to Racine in the neutral zone, to Woodliffe who scored top-shelf. Emma Carter capped the dental crew’s scoring a toughangle shot, with Evan Koshure drawing the

Rebecca Van Eyck pegged Vernon to an early lead against Shuswap, assisted by Newman. Ashleigh Cohen, Spencer Christensen, Amy Parsons, Miranda Blatny all played a solid defence in front of Maddison Johnson, who was steady in net for both weekend games. The Vernon Advertising Works Rebels lost both their Petite weekend tilts, bowing 13-9 to Shuswap White Saturday, and 10-4 to the Kelowna Untouchables Sunday. A b y g a y l e Williamson paced the advertiser attack with four goals and an assist at the Hucul Arena in Salmon Arm.

Dharma Dolls get to that zen place

Three distinctive voices meld for the next Vernon Jazz Club concert DVOIRA YANOVSKY For The Morning Star

Mix a cocktail of jazz, opera, folk, and originals, and what do you get? An evening of musical magic with The Dharma Dolls at the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday. Three renowned fabulous “Dolls” compose this dynamic vocal trio: jazz chanteuse Judy Rose, opera diva Melina Moore, and eclectic singer-songwriter Tanya Lipscomb. Five past sold-out shows attest to their ability to delight audiences with their unique sound, uninhibited stage presence, and uncanny ability to connect with the crowd. Their outrageous mix of styles results in a surprisingly sweet blend of sound. “We’re known for bringing three distinct flavours to the audience. We enjoy the metaphor of Neapolitan ice cream, where each flavour is delicious on its own, but together is really scrumptious,” said Rose. Moore’s roots are Broadway and classical. Lipscomb’s unique sound includes soul, blues, jazz, and folk in the mix. Rose brings jazz, blues, and the French repertoire of Edith Piaf and Jacques Brel to the table. The performance features duets, group numbers, and solos. “Our duets range from classical to pop – it’s a real gamut of flavours – a smorg,” said Rose.

Vernon divas Judy Rose, left, Melina Moore and Tanya Lipscomb combine their powerful pipes and well-loved stage presence as The Dharma Dolls at the Vernon Jazz Club on Saturday. Recently, Rose organized the Caetani House fundraiser A Splash of Red and performed a solo jazz show at Headbones Gallery. She has also recorded an album called K.I.S.S. (Keeping it Simple and Saucy) with six jazz “ditties” available on a personalized USB data key. Coloratura soprano Moore is producing

and starring in The Sound of Music with the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra, sponsored by Sparkling Hill Resort. This is the first full musical theatre production in the Okanagan with the OSO. Moore will complete a third Phantom of the Opera tour in January. Lipscomb has been extremely busy touring. She did a cross-Canada tour to

Quebec in July and August, toured to Prince Rupert in October, and on the West Coast in November. Future plans include an East Coast tour in June, 2013. She is currently recording her seventh album. Accompanying The Dharma Dolls are Jim Leonard on piano, Sandy Cameron on sax and clarinet, and Bill Lockie on bass. A master pianist, organist, and composer, Leonard is the Dolls’ regular accompanist. “I started as a classical pianist and turned to jazz when my father taught me how to swing around the age of 12,” said Leonard. Recent performances include touring with The Phantom of the Opera tour in the Okanagan this summer with Moore and Welch tenor Peter Karrie. 2004 saw the premiere of Leonard’s first opera, Maria Chapdelaine. Cameron and Lockie are special guests for the event. “We are very excited to have a bass and horn player for the first time, since we usually only perform with Jim,” said Rose. Cameron appeared recently at the VJC with Sax Trio plus Three. His busy schedule includes booking and providing much of the inspiration for the Jazz Club of Salmon Arm (JCSA). No stranger to the VJC, Lockie recently performed with the Tom Collins Quintet at the JCSA. He is the bandleader of Salmon Arm’s gypsy jazz band Gadjology. The Dharma Dolls take the stage at the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:15 p.m. and tickets are $20 available at the Bean Scene or Bean to Cup coffee houses, or at www.vernonjazzclub.ca.

the dog, whom Annie befriends after she runs away from the orphanage. Using a newspaper to mark her “spot” was ingenious (and one of the best uses of a newspaper I’ve seen, after reading it, of course) and handy in case any “accidents” occurred. And at one hour, 45 minutes, the first act definitely requires a bathroom break before the curtain rises, and closes, but the length is necessary to establish the relationship between Annie and Warbucks, and to show the depth and despair that hit New York during the Depression. Like the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, where children were used for hard labour, New York City was a pretty dismal place to be in the dirty ‘30s, but as Annie demonstrates to all who meet her, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt (Doug Fairweather) and his White House cronies, the sun will always come out tomorrow.

since moved on the way it does. Now it’s OK to breathe the words “alternative” or “commercial” in the same sentence, unless you are truly “indie.” An original new play, presented by Kalamalka Secondary School’s musical theatre and stagecraft students, Broken: An Alternative Musical looks into a fictional day for several young people in a small Washington town, where suddenly life imitates art, said Shon Thomas, Kal drama teacher. “The play explores the complex, and often dysfunctional relationships between young people and their parents, their peers and themselves,” he said. “It is a musical jammed with songs that are raw and powerful, goofy and crazed, insightful and awkward – kind of like teenagers.” Led by a strong, but small group of experi-

The choreography, instrumentation, costuming, set design, lights and sound have all been built and run by the students.

“We chose this script as a departure from the kid-friendly and breezy musicals of the past four or five years as something young actors could challenge themselves to dig their teeth into,” said Thomas. “We explore mental health, teen sexuality, stereotypes, and relationships without losing a step on

being grungy.” The show also uses live musicians to its advantage, although the challenge of hooking up microphones, guitars, keyboards, drums, speakers and cables can be daunting, it also brings an intimacy, vulnerability and new learning opportunities for the students, said Thomas. “Another challenge is attempting to depict the apathy and disdain many at the epicenter of the grunge movement felt,” he said. Besides the music and the feel for the day, the students have had to figure out what disaffected youth choreography looks like. “We have struggled at times to find accuracy and entertainment – and it has been worth the battle,” said Thomas. “Thanks to the randomized playlists of MP3 players, the death of albums and the immediacy of YouTube, modern young people are better versed in the

canon of popular music than ever before. An entire generation has become fluent in the music of the last 60 or so years in a way only devoted music junkies used to be.” And that leads to a show where young people etch out their lives at the end of a brief era that was defining and still resonates today. “I am really proud of the students who continue to accomplish things they really shouldn’t be able to. An original musical? That’s nuts - who would even do that?” said Thomas. Broken runs nightly at Kalamalka Secondary School’s Apple Box Theatre at 7:30 p.m. starting tonight through Saturday and Dec. 4 to 8 with a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday, Dec. 1. Tickets are $5 for students, $10 for adults, sold at lunch at Kal Secondary, 7900 McClounie Rd., Coldstream. For reservations, email sthomas@ sd22.bc.ca.

Musical doesn’t lose its relevant message of orphanage matron Miss Hannigan in the ‘82 film version of Annie), instead, she makes the role her own and succeeds brilliantly especially when singing Little Girls. Elise Wilson, the 18-year-old Kal Secondary grad, who played the title role when she was in Grade 5 when Annie was first directed by Mace for Okanagan Landing Elementary, shines here as Grace Farrell, secretary to Warbucks. Her voice matched beautifully with May’s in You Won’t Be an Orphan for Long, their vocal training really paying off in this show. And then there’s the two supporting characters who come in midway through the play: “Rooster” Hannigan and Lily St. Regis.

The message couldn’t be more fitting for what has happened in New York as of late, as well as with the dawn of a second presidency for Barack Obama. Life will hopefully get better. That optimism plays out throughout Annie, despite the rather sad backstory, and the comic relief comes in spades, well, mostly at the bottom of a whiskey bottle in a fantastic performance by “Lannigan,” Lana O’Brien, real-life mother to Shaughnessy.

Kudos must also go to the impressive sets (designed by Eugene Leveque and built by a crew of hammer-wielding experts), rags-to-riches vintage costumes (designed by Erika Belsheim) and the all-important light and sound (Vanessa Lomas, Cameron Young, et. al) where the back row could see every nuance and hear every word. The sun will, indeed, come out for all those who check out Annie. The show continues its sold-out run at Vernon’s Powerhouse Theatre until Sunday.

Youth placed at risk in B.C. tom fletcher Black Press

B.C.’s child protection system has lost most of its ability to deal with severely abused, depressed and suicidal teens in provincial care, their independent advocate says. A review of 89 cases by Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond finds common circumstances of severe problems, notably mental illness, domestic violence, sexual and physical abuse, alcohol and drug abuse by young people or their parents, and running away to live on the streets. All the cases are children who had contact with ministry social workers, in some cases from infancy. Turpel-Lafond Three quarters of them were removed from their homes because their parents’ behaviour was a threat to them. The study revealed that they were shuffled to different group or foster homes an average of a dozen times, with some moving as much as 30 Cadieux times in three years. Fifteen of the children in the study killed themselves, and the other 74 severely injured themselves during the study period, 2007-2010. More than half were aboriginal. The review found that the youths, aged 12 to 19, were not assessed or treated for trauma, and caregivers are not trained to deal with mental illness or the effects of abuse. Turpel-Lafond said in an interview that while she admires the willingness of “mom and pop” foster parents to take in abused and mentally ill children, the turnover shows they can’t do the job without specialized training and a constant presence to help stabilize the teens’ home and school life. “This is a pretty horrific foster care system for kids with mental health needs, and that’s something that we have to face,” Turpel-Lafond said. “The government has to face down the fact that they’ve mostly gutted therapeutic foster care over the last decade.” Other risk factors identified in the study are learning disabilities and lack of attachment to school, and in a third of cases a “significant romantic conflict” within 24 hours before killing or injuring themselves. Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux said the ministry accepts all the recommendations in the report, and is preparing a two-year action plan for mental health services that includes improved training of both social workers and foster parents. After consultations, including aboriginal communities and agencies, the plan is to be made public by February, Cadieux said.

The After School Reading Club is full of fun and games but the learning benefits students in and out of school. “The students read in small groups and do word-based activities to help them improve their reading skills and develop a love of reading,” said Amy Doylend, teacher/tutor with the program, which is facilitated by The Junction Literacy Centre with paid tutors who are qualified teachers and trained volunteers. “We can see the children’s progress and their confidence with reading improving. It’s wonderful to be able to have this program in the schools.” Alexander McDonald and his twin brother, Stephen, are nine-year-old Grade 4 students at Ellison elementary and are in their second year in the After School Reading Club. “We have fun. It helped us learn how to read chapter books and we practise on our homework,” said Alexander, while Stephen said, “The teachers are really fun and we made lots of new friends.” Lana Schuster, The Junction Literacy Centre skills boost coordinator, said the program needs more teachers/tutors and

Stephen MacDonald (left), nine, and his twin brother, Alexander, read with teacher/tutor Amy Doylend at The Junction Literacy Centre’s After School Reading Club at Ellison school. volunteers to be able to expand to other schools. Training (two short sessions) is provided. “This is for kids who need a little extra help. The time commitment for the teachers and volunteers is Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3 to 4:15 p.m. Everyone is pleased with the program. Often the parents say it changes the children’s attitude to reading. They feel more comfortable trying reading in different situations and increase their ability and confidence in

reading everything around them, from signs to books.” The After School Reading Club started two years ago and is in operation in three area schools with two more wanting to join in as soon as the teachers and volunteers can be found. New and/or experienced teachers and anyone with a love of reading who wants to be involved with the program can get more information from Schuster at 250-275-3117 or www. junctionliteracy.ca.

largest source of sugar, after sugar cane. And amazingly, beets have twice as much natural sugar as corn, carrots or tomatoes. Beets help your mental health. They contain betaine and also trytophan, which relaxes the mind and creates a sense of well-being, similar to chocolate. Beets can also lower your blood pressure. Beets are highly nutritious and “cardiovascular health” friendly root vegetables. Certain unique pigment antioxidants in the root as well as in its top greens have been found to offer protection against coronary artery disease and stroke, lower cholesterol levels and have anti-aging effects. Beets are very low in calories and contain zero cholesterol. The nutrition benefits come particularly from fiber, vitamins and minerals. Fresh tubers contain small amounts of vitamin C and its top greens are rather excellent sources of it. Additionally, the greens are an excellent source of carotenoids, flavonoid anti-oxidants, and vitamin A; the greens contain these compounds several times more than the roots. Consumption of natural vegetables rich in flavonoids helps to protect from lung and oral cavity cancers. The root is also a rich source of B-complex vitamins such as niacin (B-3), pantothenic acid (B-5), pyridoxine (B-6)

and minerals such as iron, manganese, copper, and magnesium. Further, the root indeed has very good levels of potassium. Beets also contain levels of phosphorus, beta-carotene, beta-cyanine and folic acid. They are a wonderful tonic for the liver, work as a purifier for the blood, and can prevent various forms of cancer. Sow beets as soon as spring weather becomes “settled” in your area. Plant your beets in an airy, exposed section of your garden with lots of well-aged compost worked into the soil. At harvest, pull beets on a dry day and cut off the tops near the crown. Don’t wash or rinse off the roots. Put them into a plastic bag with a number of small holes, and put these in a cold root cellar or in the crisper of the refrigerator. You’ll be amazed at how long they’ll last! If you think you don’t like the taste of red beets, you might want to try Golden beets. They make an attractive addition to the table and their flavour can be quite mild and sweet. But, their seed often germinates poorly and seedlings grow slowly, so if you grow Golden beets, you should plant them more thickly and give them a little more attention throughout the season. For more information: 250-558-4556.

Beets are naturally sweet

ith the fantastic mild weather we have experienced in November, I have managed to rake the leaves and move most of the perennial potted plants to the greenhouse for winter. I got all the carrots, parsnips and beets out of the ground so I could get that space ready for next spring. I had to do something with the beets. The tops I just cooked like spinach, some I put in soups and the left-overs I just froze. When it came Jocelyne sewell time to cook the beets, I searched on the Internet for an easy way to do it. I found a site where it called for washing the beets and baking them in a covered pot with a bit of olive oil at 350 F for about 45 minutes to one hour depending on the size. The small ones were done in 30 minutes. If you never liked beets before you have to try them this way. It brings the sweetness out. They are easy to peel and the skins come off very thin so there is not much waste. As I was searching I also found some interesting facts. Beets are the second

Treats with international flavour

raditions in the foods we prepare and bake for the Christmas season are as varied as the people who have made Canada their home, and add an amazing variety to our enjoyment. The Austrian linzer cookie has been a tradition throughout Europe under different names and with a wide variety of different fillings. This one is a favourite in our family and perfect for a hostess gift or any cookie exchange. The second recipe is a very popular New Zealand cookie. These extravagant cookies have a double-layered topping of rich caramel and crumbly butter streusel and are a welcomed holiday treat. Enjoy adding a new cookie to your platter this year. Best Austrian Linzer Cookies 1 bag (8-oz.) pecans 1/2 cup cornstarch 1-1/2 cups (3 sticks) butter (no substitutions), softened 1-1/3 cups confectioners’ sugar 2 tsp. vanilla extract 3/4 tsp. salt 1 large egg 2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 cups seedless red raspberry jam In food processor with knife blade attached, pulse pecans and cornstarch until pecans are finely ground. In large bowl, with mixer on low speed, beat butter and 1 cup confectioners’ sugar until mixed. Increase speed to high; beat 2 minutes or until light and fluffy, occasionally scraping bowl with

rubber spatula. At medium speed, beat in vanilla, salt and egg. Reduce speed to low; gradually beat in flour and pecan mixture just until blended, occasionally scraping bowl. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces; flatten each into a disc. Wrap each disc with plastic wrap and refrigerate 4 to 5 hours or until dough is firm enough to roll. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Remove 1 disc of dough from refrigerator; if necessary, let stand 10 to 15 minutes at room temperature for easier rolling. On lightly floured surface, with floured rolling pin, roll dough 1/8 inch thick. With floured 2 1/4-inch fluted round, plain round, or holidayshaped cookie cutter, cut dough into as many cookies as possible. With floured 1- to 1 1/4-inch fluted round, plain round, or holidayshaped cookie cutter, cut out centres from half of cookies. Wrap and refrigerate trimmings. With lightly floured spatula, carefully place cookies, 1 inch apart, on ungreased large cookie sheet. Bake 17 to 20 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Transfer cookies to wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining dough and

trimmings. When cookies are cool, sprinkle remaining 1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar through sieve over cookies with cutout centres. In small bowl, stir jam with fork until smooth. Spread scant measuring teaspoon jam on top of whole cookies; place cutout cookies on top. Store cookies, with waxed paper between layers, in tightly covered container at room temp. up to 1 week or in freezer up to 2 months. (If stored in freezer, you may need to sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar again before serving.) Caramel Crumb Bars 20 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pan 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1/4 tsp. kosher salt 2 1/2 cups flour, plus more for pan 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar 1 tbsp. light corn syrup 1 14-oz. can sweetened condensed milk Heat oven to 350°. Line a 9” x 13” baking sheet with parchment paper; grease and flour. In a mixer fitted with a paddle, beat together 16 tbsp. butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt until fluffy. Add 2 1/4 cups flour; mix. Transfer 3/4 dough to pan; press into bottom; chill. Rub remaining dough and flour into large crumbles; set aside. Combine remaining butter, brown sugar, syrup, and milk in a 2-qt. saucepan. Cook, stirring, over medium-high heat to make caramel, 8–10

minutes. Pour over dough; scatter crumbles over top. Bake until

Optimists sponsor essay contest Morning Star Staff

The Optimist Club of the North Okanagan is encouraging students to contemplate the phrase “How I can help my friends realize their value,” as part of the Optimist International Essay contest for 2013. Winners will receive awards, and the winning essays will be sent to the District level where college scholarships are available for top winners. “Young students today have so many fresh ideas about the world and their future,” said club president Jan Mori said. “As optimists, it is our goal to encourage them to do what we can to bring out the best in each of them. This gives them a wonderful opportunity to tap into their creativity and pursue possible scholarships at the same time.”

Optimist International carries the motto, “Bringing out the Best in Kids.” Optimists conduct service projects that reach more than six million young people each year. The North Okanagan Optimist Club was chartered in 2011 and since then has been involved in a number of projects involving young people. As well as the essay contest, the club is again co-sponsoring the upcoming Children’s Christmas Workshop and will co-sponsor “Unplug and Play” planned for the North Okanagan in the new year. Students wishing to participate in the essay contest can get more information by contacting Ina at 250-546-0021 and iforrest11@gmail. com or Lesley at 250-275-2676 and essay2013@gmail.com

Holiday Gift Guide Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder THE UNSAVORY SIDE IN FACT AND FICTION Ken Allan published a bridge whodunit, “Deadly Endplay,” in 2011. Now he has produced a part-factmostly-fiction book about cheating at bridge, “Shades of Grey” (Master Point Press). Can you prove cheating from hand records? Why do players cheat when there are no monetary awards? The answers are not clear-cut, having shades of grey. (The author is Canadian.) There are several bridge deals. Here is one with a card-play point. What happens in three no-trump after West leads the spade 10? There is no bidding in the book. With its good six-card

suit, the South hand is strong enough for a one-diamond opening and two-no-trump rebid. Three no-trump looks like a walk in the overtrick park, but after winning with dummy’s spade queen and calling for a diamond, East’s club discard is a nasty blow. Now there isn’t time to establish the diamonds. The defenders will take three spades and two diamonds. Declarer needs luck in hearts and clubs. In the book, South “won the diamond, went back to dummy, and played the club jack.” I wonder how she got to dummy. A spade to the ace, opening that suit up? Or with a heart, which blocks the suit? Surely she cashed the

heart king before playing her second heart. Then East made a very bad error, covering the club jack with his queen. Declarer put on her ace and down came the king. South arranged to finesse her club seven and took two spades, three hearts, one diamond and three clubs.
