Kin track sets sights on provincial funds RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
There’s extra cash for B.C.’s horse race industry but it’s not known if any will come to Vernon. The provincial government has initiated an increase in the percentage of on-track slot machine revenues from B.C. Lottery Corporation gaming proceeds for horse racing. “We are currently trying to arrange a meeting with the minister to discuss this topic and more specifically the allocation to the Interior tracks going forward,” said Ed Woolley, with the Okanagan Equestrian Society, which hosts Vernon Racing Days. The society’s long-standing concern has been that much of the government’s focus is on tracks at the Lower Mainland and not in the Interior. “You may wish to note the Quick Facts portion (of a government press release) that states B.C. has two race tracks: Hastings Park and Fraser Downs,” said Woolley. “It’s hard not to feel forgotten when you actually are. This is a good example of the Vancouvercentric attitude that we are fighting at the moment.”
VERNON TOYOTA
Woolley says the level of purse payouts is critical if races are to attract riders and horses, and ultimately equestrian fans. The government’s funding increase will be effective for the 2013 racing season and is an increase to 25 per cent from the current 15.5 per cent. The total funding amount is estimated to be approximately $10 million and will go toward ensuring that purse amounts are commensurate with industry standards. “While the allocation to the Interior is still an issue, this step on the part of the government is a positive sign for the industry,” said Woolley. According to the government, the B.C. horse racing industry has an economic impact of $350 million and directly employs 3,600 people. More than 7,400 individuals derive an income from racing in full-time, part-time, and casual employment. “The industry is the only form of gaming that generates business within the agricultural sector, making it economically important throughout the province,” states a government release.

Commerce on the vitalization program. “It will result in changes downtown with traffic flow and signage. It will also result in a branding of our community,” said Cyr. The goal of the vitalization program is to encourage an active community among existing residents and attract new residents and visitors. “I get a ton of positive feedback from the community,” said Cyr. “There are always comments that Enderby is vibrant. People are excited.” Among the highlights so far was the introduction of a new pedestrian market in the summer and fall that featured local produce and crafts. Key to the entire vitalization process, according to Cyr, is co-operation. “We have cultivated great relationships with Area F and the Splatsin First Nation,” he said. Like other municipalities in the North Okanagan, Enderby will also spend much of 2013 focused on infrastructure. Such
work may not grab the headlines but it is vital if the community is to remain sustainable. “We’re working on our storm drain situation and there are some projects on tap in the new year,” said Cyr.

Society able to accept donations roger Knox Morning Star Staff
“The city gives us 75 per cent of funding.”
First it was society status for the Restorative Justice Society – North Okanagan. Now, it has charity status. Executive director Margaret Clark announced that the Restorative Justice Society has been granted charity status under the Canada Revenue Agency, meaning it can now officially receive donations. “Becoming a society gave us an advantage to gain charity status,” said Clark. “We have not received any donations before and now we can.” The Restorative Justice Society – North Okanagan is used for

victims of crime first and foremost with a focus on the offenders of the crime. “Participation is voluntary and it’s an approach to keep everyone involved in an incident out of the courts,” said Clark. Her office has been receiving referrals since January 2006 within the VernonNorth Okanagan RCMP detachment. That includes the communities of
Vernon, Spallumcheen, Armstrong, Enderby, Coldstream, Lumby and three regional districts with electoral areas for BX-Swan Lake, BX-Silver Star, Enderby rural, Lumby rural, Cherryville, Falkland and Westwold-Monte Lake. Referrals are received directly from the RCMP and North Okanagan schools. The majority of funding for the program comes from the
City of Vernon, with added funds from the provincial ministry of justice and donations from member municipalities. “The city (of Vernon) gives us about 75 per cent of funding, and we have a budget of about $71,000,” said Clark. “They have been a great supporter of the program. We’ve received more funding the last couple of years from rural communities, and we may always require financial support from the municipalities. “We’ve been looking at ways of becoming financially independent and this (charity status) is one of the ways of doing that.” Anybody wish-

Community support for health care continues to grow. The Light A Bulb campaign at Vernon Jubilee Hospital has reached $179,100 of its $200,000 goal to purchase medical equipment. “The goal has not yet been met and it’s not too late to make a donation for the 2012 tax year,” said Michael Concannon, campaign chairperson. “Donations must be dated and postmarked by Dec. 31.” Donations have come from throughout the North Okanagan, including Adelle Munk’s Grade 3/4 class at Falkland Elementary. “We did a wreath raffle, a clay ornament sale (the kids made all of the ornaments) and we also did a bake sale,” said Munk. “I am very proud of my students. They worked very hard. They managed to raise $475.” The campaign has also received $300 from the Vernon Community Singers and donations from Grizzly Curb and Concrete, Prem Holdings and the Enderby Inn. For more information or to donate, visit the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation office inside the hospital or call 250-5581362. Donations can also be made online at www. vjhfoundation.org. “By making a tax deductible donation to Light A Bulb, you help light the trees on top of our hospital,” said Concannon.

Marv bowling for kids RogeR Knox Morning Star Staff
Marv Zwarych pledges to keep collecting. Zwarych, 78, is now in his ninth year taking pledges and donations for Variety’s B.C. Bowls For Kids, a twomonth long fundraising campaign in December and January that raises money for children who have special needs. Zwarych has collected more than $29,400 in the past eight years and the $6,370 he raised in 2011 from 300 people in the North Okanagan was the second-highest total among bowler collectors in the province. Since the start of this year’s campaign on Dec. 1, Zwarych has already gone through six pledge sheets at 20 names per sheet. “I started it at the old Polson Bowling Centre,”
said Zwarych prior to doing double-duty of collecting pledges and rolling for his Thursday night league team – Marvin’s Cabinets – at Lincoln Lanes. ‘“(Former BCTV weatherman) Norm Grohmann was the chairman and we were trying to get as many people as possible to show up at the bowling alley. I started collecting and I’ve been doing it ever since.” Zwarych and other bowlers who collect
turn their pledges in, and a cheque is presented to Variety Club at the annual telethon in February on what is now Global TV (formerly BCTV). Bowlers in B.C. last year presented a cheque to Variety for $70,000 and, in the 27 years of the B.C. Bowls For Kids campaign, bowlers have contributed $3 million to the campaign. “I still enjoy collecting the pledges. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t do it,” said Zwarych, a for-
mer cabinet maker who bowls on Tuesdays and Thursdays. He also collects pledges out and about in the community.

O
Year of bad luck?
k, so the Mayans were wrong about the whole world ending thing. Bloody Mayans, getting us all worked up in the biggest piece of fear mongering since Y2K. While I’m still just happy to be here as 2012 draws to a close, I don’t know about you but I, for one, hope next year goes by very quickly. And it’s not because I turn 50 in October (or 292 shopping days until my birthday). It’s because next year, for the first time in my lifetime (and a vast majority of you dear readers’ lifetimes as well), we will be living in a year that includes the number 13. As in 2013. And that doesn’t sit well with me. Roger Knox Though never formally diagnosed, I suppose it’s fair to say I suffer from triskaidekaphobia, which, according to the website Wolfram Mathematics, is “the fear of 13, a number commonly associated with bad luck in Western culture.” The website states that the association of bad luck with the number 13 has been attributed to the fact there were 13 people at the Last Supper of Jesus. Or, it could also be related to Norse mythology. The god Odin invited 11 of his closest friends to a dinner party which was crashed by – and who could foresee this coming? – Loki, the god of evil and turmoil. This resulted in 13 people at the party, which did not sit well with Balder, one of the most beloved of the Norse gods. Balder tried to dash Loki out of the party, a fight ensued and Balder was killed with a mistletoe-tipped arrow. The kiss of death perhaps? Obviously, there’s a lesson to be learned here: never invite 13 people to a dinner party. For me, I remember as a teen of around 14 or 15 (definitely not 13) that I would stare bad luck in the face and I would wear No. 13 in baseball.
AT RANDOM
Superstition be damned! Worst...Season...Ever. Groin injury, arm injury, batting average lower than .113. I could not wait to get rid of that number. And I have never worn it since. Baseball afficionados know who Ralph Branca is, a pitcher for the Brooklyn Dodgers who, in 1951, gave up a home run to Bobby Thomson of the New York Giants in a one-game playoff in the bottom of the ninth inning that sent the Giants on to the World Series. Branca wore No. 13. My three favourite golf courses in the region – Salmon Arm, Spallumcheen and Hillview – all have one thing in common: the 13th hole on each course has water, a hazard I have found on each of those holes. I have never lived on a 13th Street or 13th Avenue, and the only time I lived in a house that included that number, well, I wasn’t there three months before I was out looking for a new place. You know what was invented in 1913? Ecstacy was invented 100 years ago. So was the crossword puzzle. So were bras and zippers. Ecstacy is a major problem in today’s society. Who among us hasn’t been flustered at one time or another by a crossword puzzle you need just one word to finish and the clue is for a word, person or place you’ve never heard of (eg. “Norse god of evil and turmoil”). And who among us hasn’t been flustered at one time or another by a bra or zipper? Still, as the new year dawns, I will think positive. A lot of good will happen in 2013. It will be my 50th birthday and plans are in the works to mark the occasion with other friends born in 1963 with a summer get-together in Vernon, as well as a trip to Las Vegas. I will lose weight. I will enjoy my job. I will love my son more than anything in this world. I also will not walk under a ladder, I will walk the other way when a black cat crosses my path and I certainly will not open an umbrella in my house. Happy New Year (knock wood)!
There’s no surprise that a lack of physicians is topping the priority list for Enderby officials and residents in the new year. Without sufficient access to health care, it may become difficult to lure new residents and businesses to the community and some people — particularly seniors — may pack their bags. A lot of time is being spent on revitalizing the community’s image and economy, but the doctor shortage could ultimately undermine all of those activities. But with the exception of some recruiting by the Interior Health Authority, Enderby and the rural area are left confronting the matter on their own. Why isn’t the College of B.C. Physicians and Surgeons reviewing its licensing requirements for foreign-trained doctors? At this point, it is extremely difficult for internationally educated physicians, including those originally from Canada, to be recognized and get work in this province. In one case, Enderby has been contacted by a physician willing to come to the community. The Ministry of Health also needs to revisit the funding model for physicians. In some communities, doctors get paid more than they do in Enderby or elsewhere in the Okanagan so there’s little incentive to come here. MLA George Abbott has been fairly silent on the doctor shortage, but while he is retiring, he is still being paid to represent his constituents. It is time for Abbott to make some noise in Victoria and to invite Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid to meet with Enderby residents directly. What’s happening in Enderby is indicative of a crisis across the province and it’s time action was taken.

Health care review requested
hen I read the letters to the editor and reports in the newspaper, I am deeply concerned when I see bad medical decisions being confused with funding issues such as long waiting lists and bed shortages. There is a distinct difference. All too often, we read of incidents such as a mom delivering a baby in a hotel, and long wait lists for surgery, and others. My belief is that matters such as these are system errors and could have been avoided had quality of care been optimized by Interior Health. I am a retiree with over 25 years in health care and am now a concerned citizen, who expects the government to address the ques-
doesn't add up I wonder if I am the only one who finds it rather incongruous to find the government advertising that they are "balancing the budget by controlling spending" and then bombarding us with advertising that is worthy of an election campaign which has not yet started. When the writ is dropped next year the party will have to pay for the ads, but until then the general population pay through taxes. It certainly helps me to decide who I will trust to govern the province in the future. R. david atkins sound pRotests Contrary to Mr. Wedgewood (Dec. 5) the pipeline protests do not miss the point. The Northern Gateway Pipeline would not be a great boon to the Canadian economy. Yes, there will be jobs in the oil sands as a result, and some construction jobs, a few jobs at the port and there will be royalties. When we look at the idea of the net benefit to the average Canadian the picture looks different. If Canadian bitumen goes on the market at world prices the increase in energy costs domesti-

tionable medical care, directly and firmly with Interior Health administration. The Liberal government has a responsibility to make the health authorities accountable. Pressure needs to be placed on our government to demand an evaluation of Interior Health. I contend that there are real issues within the authority that need to be addressed; we can’t keep blaming lack of funding for human error and poor service delivery. Mr. Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, I ask that you request a review of the health care services provided by Interior Health. Please help the residents of this community to maintain quality and safe health care. Janet green
cally will soon outstrip those gains, never mind the environmental and social costs. And when we look at who really stands to gain from this it's oil producers and their shareholders, the majority of which are foreign nationals who could care less whether we have health care, pensions and education. Let us not confuse what is good for transnational corporations with what is good for Canada. The oil sands will be developed though possibly not as quickly without that pipeline. But if it's jobs and our country's well being we are concerned with then let them build more upgraders and refineries in Alberta and Saskatchewan where the bitumen and heavy oil is. Canada imports 50 per cent of its petroleum. Why not supply ourselves first? But most of all we need to get over the idea promoted by those transnationals and the Harper government that extracting and shipping our resources offshore without any value added is good for most Canadians. It isn't. Howard Brown missing tHe point Mr. Wedgewood misses the
point in his missive regarding the protesting of the Gateway Pipeline. While there may be arguments for and against the oil sands and their sale and shipment, the real issue is spills and pollution. Enbridge wants to build the pipeline. Enbridge does not intend to operate the pipeline. The pipeline is to be operated by an independent arms length for profit company which is intended to disperse all profits to its shareholders. Note, all profits. In other words when the spill occurs, and it will, there will be no source of funds to deal with clean up other than we the taxpayers of B.C. The foregoing does not even begin to address the catastrophic results of even a small accident at sea. Rest assured any ships plying our waters will be sure to be flying flags of convenience with no one to be held accountable except me and thee. L. John Lewis LegisLation needed On May 31, 2013, British Columbia will have the infamous distinction of being the only
Canadian province that still allows tobacco to be sold in pharmacies and stores that contain a pharmacy. Pharmacies are places where people go for health care, not to purchase a deadly product that, when used as directed, is still the number one cause of preventable death and disease in the province. We, along with our fellow health-related organizations the College of Pharmacists of British Columbia, the BC Medical Association and the Canadian Cancer Society, BC & Yukon, believe it’s time that the provincial government did the right thing to make drug stores truly places of health care and legislate the removal of cigarettes and other tobacco products from British Columbia pharmacies and stores that contain a pharmacy. It is time that B.C. joined the confederation of all the other provinces who have already taken leadership in this important area of tobacco control. In this instance being late is better than never. dieo marchese, Ceo, B.C. Heart and stroke Foundation scott mcdonald, president, B.C. Lung association

Casual Fridays benefit hospital Morning Star Staff
City of Vernon employees are rallying behind people who are facing cancer head-on. Staff has donated $2,500 to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation as part of dressing casual Fridays. “The 2012 Casual for a Cause fundraising efforts were directed towards the renovations and expansion of the McMurty-Baerg Cancer Centre,” said Courtenay Pitcher, the city’s communications officer. “Employees support causes that benefit local residents.” Renovation and expansion of the cancer centre
will cost $500,000 and it’s being funded entirely by donations. “There was no public funding available to expand and renovate the cancer centre,” said Sue Beaudry, VJH Foundation director of development. “The foundation agreed to raise the funds necessary for the project to go ahead. It’s a wonderful gift that city employees have given to local cancer patients.” In previous years, city employees have supported B.C. Children’s Hospital, the Vernon SPCA, the Canadian Cancer Society and the North Okanagan Hospice Society.

Vernon products Adam Nesbitt (left, carrying the ball) and Tyler Lee (high-fiving a Kamloops coach) enjoyed stellar seasons with the B.C. Football Conference Kamloops Broncos, a Junior A team.
Seaton grads big for Broncos GrAeme CorBeTT Morning Star Staff
They started playing football together at age seven in Vernon. It was only fitting that Adam Nesbitt and Tyler Lee wrapped up their Junior careers on the same club – the Kamloops Broncos. The 22-year-old Seaton Sonics grads went out in pretty good style too. Nesbitt, a 6-foot-1, 208-pound defensive back, set the franchise record for most interceptions in a season with seven. That stat was tops in the B.C. Football Conference and second in all of Canada. Not bad for someone who only started playing defence this season. “I tried to make the switch last year but we lost a couple receivers and the coaches felt I would be more of asset as a receiver, but it turns out I really wasn’t,” said Nesbitt, named the 2-8 Broncos’ Most Outstanding Defensive Player. Lee, a 6-foot-2, 215-pound middle linebacker, led the Conference with 41 solo tackles and added 6.5 sacks. On offence, he scored three touchdowns on eight catches as a slotback. He was named team MVP. Both players merited BCFC all-star recognition.
“The MVP felt good. I feel that I earned it playing here five years and never missed a game or got injured,” said Lee, who works as an electrician apprentice at the Gibraltar Mine near Williams Lake. “The BCFC all-star was a bigger accomplishment, finally getting some respect from the voters after being in the topfive in defensive points the past three seasons. “I was kind of disappointed I didn’t earn all-Canadian honours, but that’s mostly because of our team’s record.” Nesbitt’s football career has run the full positional gamut. He spent his days with the Sonics tossing bombs as the quarterback for coach Ryan Reid’s pass-happy offence. He then earned a scholarship to the University of Saskatchewan Huskies (Reid’s Alma mater) where he switched to receiver. “I didn’t feel Saskatchewan was a good fit for me after my two years there,” said Nesbitt, who works in the service department at the Nissan dealership in Kamloops. “After that, I wanted to go somewhere just to play football, and Kamloops was a lot closer to home.” Asked what the biggest challenge in switching over to defence was, Nesbitt replied: “The read and react. When you’re on the corner, it’s like you’re on an island with another
athlete and it’s just man-on-man, one-on-one. Who’s going to make the better play. “The biggest disadvantage for me was having to run backwards. But for some reason it just felt real natural being out on the corner.” Neither Lee nor Nesbitt has given up on going further in football. Both are hoping to receive invites to B.C. Lions’ spring ID camp, and both have also received scouting interest from the University of Alberta Golden Bears and UBC Thunderbirds. “I’m thankful to the Broncos for giving me all the playing time needed to get scouted and move on to the next level,” said Lee. Added Nesbitt: “It’s been my dream since I was about five to play professional football. I feel it’s only a couple years away where I can step forward and accomplish something like that.” Added Lee: “Adam is a great roommate and teammate. He has awesome work ethic and is always pushing me to lift more in offseason training and never letting me miss a workout. He has a really good understanding for the game and I wouldn’t want anyone else playing corner on my defence.”
Junior A recruits fill college hockey teams BreNT muTis BCHL Media
There are close to 2,000 Canadian Junior Hockey League alumni pursuing their academic and hockey careers at colleges and universities across North America. The number breakdown has 578 in NCAA Division I (37%), 594 in NCAA Division III (27%) and another 780 in Canadian universities and colleges (61%).
“There is no denying how successful the CJHL and its 10 Junior A leagues have been at paving the way to college hockey careers in Canada and the U.S.,” said CJHL president Kirk Lamb. “Junior A’s role is to provide premier development and maximum exposure so that our studentathletes can further their hockey and academic careers. Clearly we are doing that.”
Torrie Dyck, a former standout in the SJHL with the Nipawin Hawks, has since gone on to play in both the CIS (University of Alberta) and ACAC (Augustana). “Playing three years of Junior A allowed me to take the next step to the ACAC, and subsequently to the CIS”, said Dyck, a star with the University of Alberta Golden Bears. “I still reflect on my time in the CJHL and realize that those
were some of the best years of my life,” Dyck is the top points-per-game producer, with 18 in 14 games, of the No. 1 ranked team in the CIS. South of the border, a total of 578 CJHL alumni can be found on NCAA Division I rosters. “The CJHL has perennially been loaded with blue-chip NCAA prospects,” said Mark Dennehy, head coach of Merrimack College
Warriors, of Hockey East. “The coaches understand how to develop these players and are very knowledgeable about the recruiting process.” Devin Shore, who played for the Whitby Fury (OJHL), was the highest drafted CJHL player in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. Shore committed to the NCAA’s University of Maine Black Bears of Hockey East.

“Deciding to play college hockey is the best decision I’ve ever made,” sad Shore. “Practices are like games, and games are like playoff games. The opportunity to represent your school and play in front of such passionate fans is awesome. It’s a great place to get better and have a ton of fun doing it.” Penticton Vees’ (BCHL) alumnus Joey Laleggia is thriving in the NCAA with the WCHA’s University of Denver Pioneers. “College hockey was a smart choice for me because it gives me a couple more years to develop. It’s an awesome lifestyle. It really makes you take charge of your life. You have to balance being the best hockey player you can be along with studies.” Newmarket Hurricanes’ (OJHL) alumnus Dan Ellis, of the Anaheim Ducks, is grateful for his CJHL experience. “Playing in Newmarket gave me the opportunity to compete at one of the highest junior hockey levels. The CJHL not only provided me exposure to NCAA, CHL and NHL, but prepared me to play at those levels.” Added Lamb: “One look at the number of former CJHL players we have competing at colleges and universities in North America and it’s clear that the Junior A model is working for our studentathletes and their families.” The Vernon Vipers have five players committed to NCAA scholarships for next year and the year after: F Adam Tambellini, North Dakota Fighting Sioux; D Brett Corkey, Colgate Raiders; Aaron Hadley, Western Michigan Broncos; F Dexter Dancs, Michigan Wolverines; D Geoff Crisfield, North Dakota. The latest BCHLers signing offers include F Seb Lloyd of the West Kelowna Warriors (Harvard Crimson Tide), F David Pope of the Warriors (Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks) and F Garrett McMullen of the Trail Smoke Eaters (RIT Tigers).

Wray backs head coach Williamson gets vote of confidence from Vipers’ owner KeViN MiTCHeLL Sports Editor
A grocery list of serious injuries to clutch players cost the Vernon Vipers a playoff berth a year ago. This year, a water-pistol offence has the Vipers last in the B.C. Hockey League Interior Conference. And while fans wonder out loud why head coach/GM Jason Williamson is still around, Viper owner Duncan Wray is standing firmly behind his former captain. “I have full confidence in Willy,” said Wray, who bought the team from Mel Lis 21 years ago. “I know that’s usually the kiss of death, but he gets my vote. He has one year left on his contract and I expect him and I to honour that.” The Vipers and Salmon Arm SilverBacks have managed just 82 goals, one less than the Cowichan Valley Capitals, who are the league’s lowest-scoring team. “I’m disappointed, but I’m not disappointed in Willy,” added Wray. “I see the work he puts in. He does a great job managing the team, even better than Troy Mick did. He’s fiscally responsible and a very smart man. What people don’t realize is that the product on the ice isn’t the only thing he has to look after. “I’m confident we can turn things around. I don’t blame Willy for where we sit. Some of the players we brought in have underachieved and we’re not scoring enough goals. As good as (Mark) Ferner was, he never scored any goals for us. We’ve lost seven games in overtime so if we win a few of those, we’re right in the middle.” Williamson, who played on a scholarship with the Niagara University Purple Eagles in New York, hears the whispers around town. “You’d have to be living under a rock
not to hear what people are saying, but Duncan’s giving me confidence and he’s the man who has the final say. He sees how much I work. We’re not out of this (playoff race).” Williamson is seeking an experienced defenceman since the Snakes are down to six. “I’m trying to get a 19-year-old experienced guy,” he said. “I’d like a guy who’s hard to play against, so a shutdown guy who can make a good first pass. We’ll see what’s out there (before the Jan. 10 carding deadline). I’m open to change. We could make some big changes. I’m hoping to make this hockey team better.” Third-year veteran Colton Sparrow figures Williamson will make some serious roster moves. “Like Willy said, the break is well needed,” said Sparrow, a Vernon minor hockey product. “We have to go home, rest and then regroup. There has to be, and I think there will be, changes made before the deadline. I don’t know if Willy has plans to make some, but we’ve made enough small changes, we need to make some big changes.” The Vipers are 11-16-0-7 and just four points back of the Trail Smoke Eaters and West Kelowna Warriors. They are five points back of the third-place Salmon Arm SilverBacks. The top-four teams make the playoffs and Vernon has 22 games left after the break, starting with a road game, Friday, Jan. 4, at Salmon Arm. Vernon returns to regular practices Jan. 2 and 3 with a morning skate before their game at the Shaw Centre. The Vipers host the Warriors Saturday, Jan. 5 and the Smokies on Wednesday, Jan. 9 and the Powell River Kings on Friday, Jan. 11 before starting a threegame road trek Jan. 18 in Nanaimo versus
the Clippers. Meanwhile, Vernon’s Tyler Steel recorded 29 saves for first star as the Merritt Centennials iced the Vipers 5-0 Saturday night before 650 fans at the Nicola Valley Arena. Dane Birks scored with 27 seconds left in the first period and the Cents then exploded for three third-period snipes in 1:36 before Jeff Wight completed the offence with 64 seconds remaining. Regan Soquila, Brent Fletcher and Silvan Harper had the other goals as the Cents improved to 19-11-1-1, good for second place in the Interior Division. Danny Todosychuk made 39 saves for the Vipers. “The first two periods, I thought went pretty well,” said Sparrow. “We were short on the back end and we missed Corks (captain Brett Corkey), but the ice wasn’t titled at all. We had our chances and so did they. We had some costly turnovers and breakdowns in the third and they scored four quick ones.” Said Williamson: “The effort was way better than the Friday night game. We had some unfortunate circumstances playing with four dee and my affiliates injured.” BCHL Player of the Week was Soquila, who collected six points to lead all pointgetters while helping the Cents to four of a possible six points. The Maple Ridge native scored a hat trick, including the winner, and two helpers, in a 6-1 road win over Vernon. He followed with another tally the next night at home. Vernon’s Alex Gillies got his 12th goal of the season as the host SilverBacks iced the Warriors 4-2 Saturday night. West Kelowna and Penticton are the only Interior teams seeing action before 2013. They begin a home and home series tonight at the South Okanagan Events Centre.

Redskins RG3 delivers in the biggest game of his career. Redskins win division. Skins 24-17
Redskins I would definitely take RG3 over Romo any day as my starting quarterback.
Cowboys Cowboys keep getting better and Romo spreads the ball around well. Dallas 24-23
Redskins Morris can run. RG3 can run and pass. Cowboys good enough to keep it close.
Redskins Romo can’t handle the pressure and RG3 is going for Rookie of the Year.

Midget Rockets 1-1 at Mac’s Morning Star Staff
The Okanagan Rockets were 1-1 after Thursday action in the 35th Mac’s Midget AAA World Invitational Hockey Tournament in Calgary. Forwards Dennon Leibel and Spencer Hewson of Vernon are on the Major Midget Rockets’ roster. The Okanagan entry battles the Saskatoon Contacts at noon today and finish preliminary play Sunday versus the UFA Bisons of Calgary. The Rockets opened the tournament on Boxing Day with a 3-0 loss to the Carolina Jr. Hurricanes. Troy Sutherland scored twice for Carolina. The Rockets bounced back by shutting down the Lethbridge Pronghorns 3-0 Thursday morning at Father David Bauer Arena. Vernon Viper prospect Alex Gran is playing defence for the Rockets. There is a field of 25 teams. The Watkin Motors

Dylan Sedlacek (left), of the Vernon Watkin Motors Mustangs fights for the puck against Colby Elmer of the Kelowna Junior Rockets Saturday at the Civic Arena. Mustangs started flat and finished strong in a 5-1 Okanagan Mainline Tier 1 Pee Wee League loss to the Kelowna Jr Rockets Saturday at Civic Arena. Visions of sugarplums kept a spirited effort at bay though momentary sparks were evident throughout the tilt. The lone Vernon goal came in the second period on a solo effort by Mika Burns.
The Mustangs are in a Christmas break tournament in West Kelowna this weekend. The Valley Wood Venom improved to 12-0 in Atom Development league action by stopping the Kelowna Legends 4-1. Jacob Boden sparked the Venom with 2+1, while Cameron Moger and Jakob Jones each added 1+1. Owen Swiscoski and Kobe
Grant were both stellar in net. The Vernon Timbits Challenge Novice tourney opens today with six House teams and six Tiered teams. The Vernon Royals tangle with the Vernon Wild Blades in House play (8 a.m.) at Civic Arena, followed by a Tiered tilt at 9:05 a.m. between the Vernon Panthers and Kamloops Coyotes, also at Civic.

Credit union gives back Morning Star Staff
The season of giving is alive and well at Valley First Credit Union as its 500 employees are once again reaching deep into their pockets to support and give back to their communities. Continuing its longstanding tradition of seasonal giving, Valley First will donate more than $20,000 — threequarters of which is contributed by employees — to support families, food banks, animal shelters, the United Way and many more community organizations across the Okanagan, Thompson and Similkameen valleys. “The holiday season is all about coming together and spending time with friends and family,” said Valley First president Paulette Rennie. Among Valley First’s initiatives this year: Every payday Friday, employees make small donations for the privilege of dressing casually. In December, each Valley First location donates its collected funds to an organization of its choice. This year, Valley First’s branches will donate more than $14,000 to community organizations. Through the newly introduced Angel Tree program, where Valley First employees and members buy a Christmas treat for those less fortunate, more than 60 gifts were purchased for children and seniors. Valley First continues its tradition of donating the money it would normally spend on greeting cards to food banks in every community across its service area – a total of $5,000 this year. In addition, Valley First will continue to support local food banks through the Feed the Valley initiative and its partnership with the annual Be an Angel campaign.

P
remier Christy Clark has completed the tradi-
Premier ponders black ink, oil
tional round of year-end interviews with legislative press gallery report-
ers. Here are excerpts from my discussion with her, dealing with
the Enbridge oil pipeline proposal and the balanced budget her gov-
ernment has promised to present in February. TF: On the Enbridge project, are you getting the answers you want on safety? CC: No, we’re not. We’ve set out our position. The five conditions need to be met, period. (B.C.’s conditions are “world-class” land and marine spill prevention and response, meeting legal obligations for aboriginal consultation, passing federal-provincial environmental assessment and a “fair share” of financial benefits.) CC: We need the oilpatch producers, the Alberta government and the federal government to come to the table. We’ve been crossexamining Enbridge. We have not been getting any of the answers that we hoped to get. We haven’t gained a lot of comfort from that process. And none of the other conditions are even close to being met. We are doing our own study of marine traffic. We want to understand the total number of ships that are out there plying our coast right now. Because all of them have fuel in them, and some are cargo ships that are big enough to have enough (bunker)
fuel as a mini-tanker would. Part of this is trying to understand where our level of Coast Guard protection needs to be today, in order to protect us should there be a spill from the existing traffic. TF: Balancing the budget: the finance ministry’s current projections call Tom Fletcher for an upturn in natural gas royalties in the coming year. With the current glut of gas, isn’t that kind of far-fetched? CC: It is going to be difficult to present a balanced budget, but I think, because we’re going to build in some (forecast) allowance, as we always do, and because we’re going to be completely transparent about the assumptions that have led us there, and because we aren’t going to fiddle with any of the assumptions that we receive from the experts in the Ministry of Finance, it’s going to be quite clear that we have done it. We have come by a balanced budget honestly. So when it comes to natural gas, you know that the assumption we use in the budget is based on a fairly complex formula that the Ministry of Finance has relied on for probably a decade now. We don’t fiddle with that.
B.C. Views
There are those who would say we should artificially lower the (revenue projection) number that we use. But if you artificially lower it, what’s to stand in the way of artificially raising it? You either accept the advice of your experts or you don’t. And they’re the experts, not the politicians. TF: Right now we have a deficit gap of more than a billion dollars. Can that be closed without significant spending cuts, or tax increases, or both? CC: You will see when we get to the budget. And it will be absolutely transparent how we got there. (Laughs) Nice try. TF: If the B.C. Liberals form a government in May, will the election date be changed so we don’t have to have this discussion about questionable spring election budgets? CC: It’s not part of the plan today, but I’m sure it’s a discussion we’ll have in the next four years. I know that people have talked about it. I’m open to it. I’m not wedded to this particular date. Next, I’ll have highlights from my year-end interview with NDP leader Adrian Dix. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Be careful out there
had other ideas for our December column, but a recent troubling near-miss made me want to share this story with all of you with the hope that you read it and take time to think about the message, especially given the time of year. While driving home from work the other night, I wanted to stop in at the in-laws to say hi as they don’t live too far from the station. It was a typical dark, dreary night, with a foggy mist bearing down below the street lights all too common this time of year here in Vernon. During my wait to turn left off one of the well-lit main thoroughfares on to one of the darker side streets, my focus was directed towards the oncoming traffic. After probably 30 seconds, there was a reasonable opportunity to get through the bank of traffic coming my way before the next set of cars arrived. I proceeded to turn left off the main street and as the nose of my truck travelled into the faded white paint of the crosswalk of the side street, I suddenly noticed a pedestrian less than two feet from my front bumper. I slammed on my brakes
and was fortunate enough not to hit the person. The only thing that prevented me (and the pedestrian) from being involved in a tragic accident was the fact that the pedestrian turned to look at me at the very last second. Keith Green To my recollection, the person was wearing a dark hoodie with the hood over their head and other dark clothing that made the pedestrian virtually invisible until turning to look at me. I was both thankful and shaken the pedestrian’s face appeared with enough warning to avoid the accident. However, I drove away thinking, “What if?” A scary near-miss for sure and this mundane leftturn could have been a life-altering event for both the pedestrian, myself and both our families in an instant. Having worked in emergency services for many years, I’d like to think that I am extra cautious while driving, cycling or walking because I have seen the results of some horrible accidents, some that are forever etched in my memory. That said, this near-miss was a great reminder even for someone who has seen many unfortunate

circumstances. Our crews, along with our emergency services partners in the B.C. Ambulance Service and RCMP, attend hundreds of accidents each year. Many of those accidents will occur in the next few months as snow and ice conditions make winter driving difficult and often dangerous. With all of this in mind, we would like to provide all of our readers and citizens some safety tips that we hope can help keep you safe this holiday and winter
season. 1. Wear reflective clothing or bring a flashlight when out walking, or running at night. Make yourself visible to everyone around you. Don’t assume vehicles will stop. Assume they won’t and proceed with caution when crossing streets or crosswalks. 2. If wearing earphones with music playing from an electronic device while out walking or running, keep the volume low so you can still hear traffic around you. 3. Slow down and
exercise patience while driving in winter road conditions. Do not pass people who are exercising common sense and travelling at slower speeds due to road conditions. Have good snow tires on your vehicle. Arriving at your destination safely should be your objective. 4. The Motor Vehicle Act regulations protect emergency

When you come across the flashing lights of a stopped emergency vehicle drivers must slow down and pull over. Drivers found to be in contravention of these regulations face fines and penalty points.

Cruise plays the big man Jack Reacher
F
ormer U.S. Army Military Police Major Jack Reacher is brought in to investigate the seemingly random murder of five unrelated civilian victims by an exceptional sniper. A renegade and a rebel, Reacher (Tom Cruise) wanders the American landscape, helping those who need it, a drifter with a bank role. Based on one of 17 novels in the Jack Reacher series, this film serves as our big screen introduction to a well-loved tough guy. Does Cruise, who produced the picture, do it justice? Can the film please both ardent fans and initiates?

levity. I noticed too that many audience members found that humour in the things Cruise didn’t say or didn’t do. Reacher is the strong silent type and I guess knowing this helps you understand how walking away with a smile is an appreciable statement. HOWE: If you enjoy the Bourne or Bond series, but want a tad bit slower pace rather than super close up fight and chase scenes, then this movie is for you. The acting is of slightly higher quality and the storyline a little more realistic. TAYLOR: It’s a good whodunnit and has a clean, classic, straightforward style that allows you to simply enjoy the mystery, without trying to impress with needless distractions. — Taylor gives Jack Reacher 3.5 cans from the top shelf out of 5. — Howe gives it 4 classy fight scenes out of 5. The movie is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

A dreamy escape
Smoke and Jackal
T
hey have a name that sounds like a mid ‘70s’ Burt Reynolds private eye flick, but the new Nashville duo, Smoke and Jackal have nothing of that denim and polyester decade Dean Gordon-Smith about them. The twosome of Nick Brown and Jared Followill (Mona and Kings of Leon respectively) also eschew their day job bands in favour of mellow and semispaced out songs that follow flowing tempos and hint at
Street SoundS
techno inspiration. The band is a side project but their music is relaxed and buzzy with an intelligent approach to arrangement. Brown and Followill are going for ambiance and they use instruments sparingly while giving reverb a big part to play. Tracks like Roadside pour out like a portal from a big echo chamber with chiming guitar, a
singer and a single microphone. The musicians are singer (Brown) and bassist (Followill) of their other groups so those strengths are the main starting points here. Brown gives some notable performances (OK OK and Save Face) that demonstrate a futuristic approach to vocal texture and sparse phrasing. His economy is matched by Followill’s moody lines and ringing chord patterns. Smoke and Jackal seem to focus on some dreamy spot in the landscape where melody, and simplicity linger without much ado. Their EP is an interesting, original and probably welcome side project/alternative to the main bands.

Church is chief in country music He has sold-out multiple cities in the U.S., but Eric Church’s inaugural headlining arena tour, The Blood, Sweat & Beers Tour, doesn’t stop there. Church is about to commence his firstever Canadian tour, which includes stops from Abbotsford to Dawson Creek to Saskatoon. Special guest Colt Ford will join Church on the tour. Recently revealed as the most-nominated country artist by the 2012 CMA Awards, Church has become a household name in country music since the release Eric Church of his RIAA-Platinum (U.S.) and Gold (Canada) certified album Chief, which has included two Canadian No. 1 singles to date, Springsteen and Drink in My Hand. He performed Springsteen on the Canadian Country Music Awards (CCMAs) this year, and fans can expect him to perform 90 dates on The Blood, Sweat & Beers Tour throughout the U.S. and Canada. Not only has The Blood, Sweat & Beers Tour received huge response from fans, but it has also been met with praise by many outlets including The Boston Globe which reported, “With his vivid
songs, frenetic performances, and outsider allure, Church is a refreshing figure on the country scene.” The Reading Eagle added, “It’s been said a transcendent concert can resemble a religious experience, but this took it to a new level… the 34-yearold frequently exploded from the mic stand, arms pounding his chest, screaming at the crowd to boost an energy level that pyrotechnics and explosions had already elevated… the energy roared.” Church brings his Blood Sweat and Beers Tour to the South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton, Feb. 1 and to the Interior Savings Centre in Kamloops Feb. 2. For more information on Church and to stay updated on additional shows and on-sale dates, visit www.EricChurch.com.

A couple of stories Morning Star Staff
A Vernon writer and entrepreneur is offering a unique way for couples and their families to give each other a special gift – their own stories. James Osborne writes couple’s love stories for them and their families. “It’s a wonderful experience,” the former Parliament Hill journalist said recently. “For them and for me.” He explained that among his first was the story of two high school sweethearts, forced apart 40 years ago when her father refused to allow them to marry. — James Osborne Brokenhearted, the couple went their separate ways. They married others, raised families and pursued careers. At middle age, both lost their spouses to illness. Then, one day they met by chance, went for coffee, exchanged histories and rediscovered their love. “Stories like theirs are a powerful motivation,” Osborne said. “It never ceases to amaze me how bringing couples’ love stories back to life rekindles that old spark. I see lots of smiles and shining eyes.” Osborne said the love stories make unique gifts – to each other, to their families as the centerpiece for family histories, or families making gifts of the love stories to their parents to observe milestone anniversaries. He gives credit for the idea to his wife, Sharolie, a professional counselor and life coach. “It was a natural, I suppose,” he said. “One day, she reminded me of our own story. It’s about love lost and love found . . . one of those true-life ‘they lived happily ever after’ kinds of stories, I’m happy to say. “But that’s another story,” he chuckled. “And, yes, I’ve written it. The story’s called, Dragonflies and The Great Blue Heron and it’s posted for all the world to see on my blog, http:// JamesOsborneNovels.com.” Writing love stories for couples is a passion for Osborne, and an expansion of his writing repertoire. He’s the author of more than 50 short stories, focused mostly on humor and adventure, as well as two novels, one a mystery and the other a suspense/ thriller with the intriguing title, Building on Higher Principles. Osborne was a journalist and senior editor for the Canadian Press in Ottawa and Edmonton, and then taught journalism at Grant MacEwan University in Edmonton. He later helped establish the School of Journalism at university of Regina and served two terms on that university’s senate. Leaving journalism for the corporate world, he became a vice-president at Bell Canada before moving back west and semi-retiring.
“Stories like theirs are a powerful motivation.”

Students in Karyn Jantz’ Grade 7 late French immersion class at Harwood Elementary School with the boxes they filled with items to be given to a family they “adopted” through North Okanagan Youth and Family Services Society at Christmas.
It’s all about giving back Grade 7 students in Harwood’s late French immersion program help to make the community a better place. Morning Star Staff
When teacher Karyn Jantz asked her students to come up with ways in which they could make the community a better place, they wasted no time. The Grade 7 late French immersion class at Harwood Elementary School brainstormed and came up with four
ideas. When Jantz suggested they vote to select the best idea, their response was, “Why can’t we do it all.” It all began as part of the students’ health and careers curriculum, in which they are working on goal-setting. “We broke that down into personal goals, academic goals, school goals and community goals,” said Jantz. The came up with the following: n Community clean-ups, in which students will be out and about in the Harwood area of Vernon, picking up garbage in the new year and again in the spring. n A bottle drive for the Vernon branch of the B.C. SPCA as a follow-up to
the bottle drive they did in the fall where they raised $154 for the SPCA. n Adopting a family for Christmas, where they would collect boxes of items to be given to their family, “adopted” through North Okanagan Youth and Family Services Society. n Working at a soup kitchen or other non-profit organization, a project the students will be working towards in the new year. “I am truly proud of my class for coming up with these ideas as well as the follow-through,” said Jantz. “Their inspiration has led to some of the families in my class adopting families at Christmas, too, as well as myself. These young kids are doing great things for our community.”

Mainstream Christianity, like Ahab’s prophets and the worshippers of Baal, claim to worship the God of the Bible and can do so with unimpeachable dedication. However sometimes its adherents do not worship the God of the Bible. They pledge allegiance to a triune deity who rewards their supposedly immaterial souls with a residence in the stratosphere. We must not listen to worldly prophets who speak what people like to hear rather than what people need to hear. 2 Tim. 4: “after their own lusts they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears.”

ear Annie: I’m 27 and have lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease. My condition is usually under control, and I live a normal life. The problem is, I’m very sensitive to perfume, air fresheners and cigarette smoke, and with my medications, I can’t drink alcohol. A lot of my girlfriends throw candle parties and cosmetic parties or go out drinking, all of which involve things I react badly to. I typically decline Kathy mitchell & marcy sugar these invitations, suggest something else or go along and stay silent so I won’t be a wet blanket. At a recent cosmetic party, I stupidly allowed a friend to smear makeup on me after being goaded into it. Within seconds, my face and scalp were burning, and I jumped up and stuck my head under the faucet. Everybody laughed, except the hostess, who was “deeply offended.” I haven’t been invited to any parties since.

It upsets me that my friends, who have known me since we were children, don’t seem to care that the majority of their plans include activities that will make me physically ill. I have offered to host get-togethers at my home, but one of my friends told me my house “smells funny.” When I ask friends, family or co-workers to lay off the perfume or air freshener, I hear, “You’re the only one who complains.” Even my sister douses herself in a perfume that gives me hives and then gets insulted that I don’t want to hug her. How do I explain to my friends that their idea of fun literally makes me sick? I’m starting to feel very left out because of my disease. — Shouldn’t Be Limited by Lupus Dear Not Limited: Your friends seem a bit immature, which makes them too focused on their own enjoyment and less sympathetic toward you. Do they know you have lupus? (Saying that you can’t drink or are sensitive to cologne might seem optional to them.) When you can participate without too much risk, you should make the effort, but otherwise, we recommend
you start looking for better friends. For additional assistance and support, try the Lupus Foundation of America (lupus.org). Dear Annie: A co-worker and her husband are expecting a baby in late December and decided to throw themselves an elaborate baby shower. They have plenty of friends, relatives and colleagues who could have given them a shower. I have never heard of giving one for yourself. Isn’t this rude? — Flummoxed in Florida Dear Florida: The idea of showers (bridal or baby) was for friends to help a new couple stock their home or prepare for the new child by voluntarily gifting them with things they would need. This sweet, helpful welcome has somehow morphed into the idea that people are entitled to demand gifts for every occasion. Throwing oneself a baby shower smacks of greed. It says, “I expect you to give me presents.” However, it’s possible that none of their friends offered to help and they thought it would be OK to do it themselves. Whether to attend is up to you.

lies. It’s a challenge not to over-indulge at this time of year. Yet it’s not healthy to feel deprived due to avoiding food at social gatherings while trying to stick to a diet. Part of having a healthy relationship with food is being able to enjoy all foods in moderation. However, having healthy options available allows us to eat more nutritious foods along with the inevitable goodies. Big things come in small packages and when it comes to calories, appetizers can
be huge. Despite their small size many appetizers are made with rich ingredients that are loaded with extra calories. Why not contribute something a little lighter to the appetizer scene? To up the nutritional value without overdoing the calories incorporate vegetables, whole grains, plain yogurt or bean dip, into appetizers. Aim for 50 per cent of the offerings to include some fruit and/or vegetables. Here are a few ideas. Stuffed Cherry

Tomatoes: Slice cherry tomatoes in half and scoop out the pulp. Stuff with a small crumble of goat cheese and top with a little pesto or stuff with a small cube of feta and a thin slice of kalamata olive. Assorted Cracker Toppers: Choose your favourite whole grain cracker and top with things such as low fat cream cheese and jalapeño jelly, low fat cream cheese and smoked salmon, or cucumber and hummus. Tortilla Pinwheels: Cover the surface of a 10-inch whole grain tortilla with low fat spreadable cream cheese, add some lettuce and fill with any of the following combinations: thinly sliced cucumber, red pepper, green onion, and salsa; smoked salmon, capers and red onion; or feta, dried cranberries and
green onions. You can also fill with hummus and veggies or use salad sandwich ingredients such as egg, salmon or tuna. Roll the tortilla tightly and cut into one or two inch pieces. You can also help encourage healthier holiday nibbling by using smaller plates and putting healthier choices at the start of the appetizer table. Placing healthy choices up front encourages guests to fill their plates with the healthy options. Remember, there is much more to the holiday season then food. Enjoy time with friends and family by taking a walk together after eating. Consider planning gatherings around activities like ice skating, tobogganing or skiing to help encourage activities that are both healthy and fun during holiday celebrations.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder
IF ONE CHANCE, PLAY FOR IT Joey Adams, a comedian and author, said, “It’s very easy to be witty tomorrow, after you get a chance to do some research and rehearse your ad libs.” It is easy to be clever tomorrow -- after a deal has finished. Experts, though, usually make the right plays before they get to trick 13. In today’s deal, how should South play in five spades after West leads the diamond queen? North’s three-diamond cue-bid showed spade support and at least gameinvitational values. East doubled to indicate diamond support. So West went on to five diamonds, hoping that if he went down, it would be a cheap sacrifice. And
South, unsure who could make what, competed to five spades. Note that five diamonds goes down only if North leads a spade. Otherwise, with hearts 3-3 and with several dummy entries in trumps, West can make the contract. In five spades, declarer tried dummy’s diamond king, then ruffed East’s ace. South drew two rounds of trumps ending on the board, ruffed the last diamond to eliminate that suit, then played a club. West took his ace and would have done best to shift to a low heart, forcing declarer to decide what to do immediately. But West, thinking that he might get two heart tricks by force and worried that South might have the heart 10,
exited with the club queen. Declarer cashed dummy’s club tricks, crossed to hand with a trump, and led a low heart, West playing low smoothly. That was excellent defense, but since West was marked with at least one heart honor, South had to call for dummy’s jack. And when it held, he claimed.

November 20, 1929 – December 17, 2012 As the children of a wonderful man, we regret to announce the passing of our dad, Alan Howard Collins at the age of 83. He passed away Dec. 17th at Prince George Regional hospital in the presence of family. He leaves behind his loving & devoted partner of the last 28 years, Janet Mills, 2 sons Ron (Dawn) & Darrel (Lynn), and daughters Pat (Doug Dillman), Cheryl (Scott Wilson) & Joy (Blaine Doherty), as well as a combined total of 17 grand-children and two great-grandchildren, siblings George, Albert, Gloria, Nancy, Marguerite and many nieces and nephews. Dad also leaves to cherish his memory Janet’s daughters Donna and Tamara (Jim) and son Steven. Alan was born in Giscome and raised in South Fort George. He married our mother, Betty Ramona Johansen May 2, 1953. Dad worked in the logging industry for a number of years before taking the position as Deputy Warden of the Prince George jail. While working for the jail, dad became an active member of the John Howard Society and assisted many inmates in their transition from jail back into society. Dad later transferred from the jail to become a weigh master in Prince George before accepting a position as head weigh master for the Department of Transportation in Vernon in 1972. Truckers always referred to him as ‘A.H.’ which always made him laugh, right to the end, thanks guys! Dad was a long time member of the B.C. Government Retired Employees Association after retiring from the weigh scales. After our mom passed away in 1984, dad met Janet and returned to Prince George in 1989. Dad’s love of the wilderness brought him back to the logging industry where he worked on heavy equipment and operated a D8 building logging roads well into his 70’s. Dad’s favourite times were those spent with family and friends. For more than 50 years, he enjoyed his annual hunting trip to “Camp Chilcotin” with his dear friend and hunting partner, Phil Soehn and brother George (The 3 Kings), which he did till his 80th year. Family and friends always gathered with them, laughing so hard we often cried. Many great life lessons were learned during these times with dad’s passion for the great outdoors being passed on to us all. Dad was predeceased by our wonderful mom Betty on April 9, 1984 after a long battle with Multiple Sclerosis. Throughout mom’s battle, dad was always there, giving tirelessly of himself. We thank you for this dad. He also lost his parents Jess and Alice, his step-mom Katherine, brother Les & sister Joanie. Dad, your legacy of love lives on. We will strive to live up to everything you have so unselfishly taught us through being a living example. We will be strong, forgiving, honorable, find humor in life and lend a helping hand when asked. Most importantly, we will love each other and give this freely to others that cross our paths. We love you dad… rest in peace… you so deserve it!

Garry Theodore passed away on December 7, 2012 at the age of 57. Survived by his mother Roberta Torgerson, nieces Christy Myndzak and Fawn Williams and nephew Richard Allan Torgerson. Sadly predeceased by his father Theodore Osmand Torgerson, brother Bryon Torgerson and sister Sharon Myndzak. Garry or “Torgy” as he was affectionately known by all, leaves behind a wide circle of friends, some of which had the honour of calling him family. Whether it be on the slopitch field, the golf course, the pool hall, the race track, or in years past, the glass plant, Torgy was a warrior, a Latvian wardog. His work ethic and his willingness to help when needed was second to none. He loved his sports and anything that he could wager on! He has touched many in this community and will be sadly and deeply missed. We love you Torgy and know that you will be shining down on us and keeping us all in line! A Celebration of Life will take place for Torgy early in the new year, a further announcement will provide details. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the BC Heart & Stroke Foundation, #4 – 1551 Sutherland Ave., Kelowna, BC V1Y 9M9.

Engineer calls for water source protection judie steeves Black Press
Protecting drinking water at its source is very
cost-effective because it can cost 40 times more to treat contaminated water than to protect
it at its source, pointed out senior water engineer Don Dobson, with Urban Systems.
He was speaking at the Okanagan Water Stewardship Council meeting recently about
whether the Okanagan should embark on a water management plan, and what role
source water protection should play. He noted that source protection high up in
FOR RECYCLING YOUR MILK CARTONS
watersheds also protects the main lakes, like Okanagan Lake, lower in the watershed, which Rob Birtles, of Interior Health, pointed out is the basin’s largest reservoir lake. He was discussing one method of protecting domestic water sources, by excluding everyone from the watershed, instead of permitting forestry, logging, range use and recreation. “But there’s no way we could exclude people from using Okanagan Lake,” he commented, adding, “It’s all about trade-offs. What are we willing to trade off for the use of that area?” He favours a multibarrier approach to achieving safe drinking water, but admits the struggle is how best to protect water quality for the future, to achieve sustainability. Dobson agreed that exclusion from watersheds, to protect our water sources, would not totally solve the problem. Studies have shown than watershed sources of e-coli are about a third from people, a third from cattle and a third from wildlife, so even if you exclude twothirds, you can’t exclude wildlife.
Recycling your milk containers is easy. Simply give them a quick rinse and bring them with your bottles and cans on your next Return-It Depot trip. There’s no refund because you didn’t pay a deposit when you bought the milk. Last year Return-It collected over 630,000 kg of milk containers for recycling and kept them out of landfills. Help us recycle even more. morning star file photo
