It’s going to be a Yabba-Dabba Do time. Prehistoric Carnival presented by Fix Auto Collision begins Friday and a mammoth of a time is guaranteed until Feb. 10. “Everyone is really excited,” said Brittany Sjoblom, Vernon Winter Carnival executive director. The 53rd annual Vernon Winter Carnival provides an opportunity for residents of the North Okanagan to get out and shake off the winter blues and have some fun. “There are people attending now who took part when they were young, so there’s a history people want to continue,” said Sjoblom. “And many people may have not had anything like this where they grew up and they want to be part of the community.” Activities actually get underway Thursday with the proclamation of Queen and Princess Silver Star at 7 p.m. at the Performing Arts Centre (they will be crowned Friday at 5 p.m. at Polson Park). Eleven young women are vying for the title of queen. “The program is very much a part of Carnival,” said Sjoblom, adding that the candidates put months of work into

The balloons will also be featured at the 21st Hot Hair Balloon Glow at Polson Park at 6 p.m. Friday. The highlight Saturday will be the parade, which starts at W.L. Seaton Secondary on 27th Street and noon and winds its way to the downtown core. The prehistoric theme will dominate floats and other entries. “We have heard from some people that they are doing a Flintstone’s car. That would really be neat to see,” said Sjoblom. Other activities Saturday include Bandarama, the B.C. Championship Snow Sculpture Competition, the St. James Family Fling and Fantastic Fossils at the Okanagan Science Centre. Residents are also encouraged to plan ahead for Winter Carnival Family Day Feb. 9 at Polson Park from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. A variety of games and entertainment will be available during the free event. “We want everyone to put on their snow pants and gloves and come down. It’s a chance to celebrate winter,” said Sjoblom. For more information about Vernon Winter Carnival, go to www.vernonwintercarnival.com or call 250-545-2236.

Merging Greater Vernon jurisdictions could create efficiencies, but the mayor isn’t willing to open old wounds. The consultant overseeing the city’s core services review has put forward a number of suggestions for reducing costs and improving services, including amalgamating Vernon, Coldstream and the electoral areas. “It’s an issue that’s stirred up controversy in the past and there is great hesitancy on the part of this mayor and council to promote it,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky. “We have been working to repair the level of dysfunction brought about by previous Rob Sawatzky attempts to promote amalgamation.” Sawatzky believes efficiencies in providing services can be created by co-operating with neighbouring jurisdictions. Coun. Patrick Nicol also isn’t convinced amalgamation is something the city should initiate. “It’s a citizen-driven decision. No one part of Greater Vernon dictates that,” he said. In terms of governance and generating efficiencies, the consultant says the options are amalgamation of at least the urban areas, shifting services like recreation to one jurisdiction so there are not shared authorities or defining how split functions work. “The best way is likely difficult to achieve if not impossible,” said Brina Bourns, KPMG senior manager, of amalgamation. KPMG has also presented other concepts for city council to consider as part of the core review. They include discharging some reclaimed effluent to Okanagan Lake, increasing transit fares, contracting out fire dispatch, reducing community development staff, turning economic development and tourism over to the regional district and developing a strategy for disposing of surplus land holdings. A public workshop on the core review was held Tuesday, and Coun. Catherine Lord admits KPMG’s suggestions will require further council consideration. “There are a lot of public expectations around the results of this core review,” she said.

Falkland remains in constituency RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

ROGER KNOX/MORNING STAR

More than 100 people gathered at centre court in the Village Green Centre Monday afternoon for the Idle No More Day of Action protest.

First Nations send message ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Taking time out from singing traditional Okanagan nation songs, Tim Edwards couldn’t help but notice the gathering of non-Native onlookers Monday. For Edwards, that was a sign that the Idle No More Day of Action protest at Vernon’s Village Green Centre was a success. More than 100 demonstrators and supporters gathered and began singing songs, drumming, carrying signs and round dancing for 75 minutes. starting at 4 p.m. “I think our message got out,” said Edwards, of Spallumcheen, a member of the Okanagan and Shuswap bands who helped organize Monday’s demonstration. “I was observing non-Natives walking by and I recognized a lot of them stayed in

the vicinity. That tells me our message got out to some people. “I thought it went exceptionally well. There was probably a little more people than I was anticipating.” The message, according to the idlenomore.ca website, “revolves around indigenous ways of knowing, rooted in indigenous sovereignty, to protect water, air, land and all creation for future generations.” Idle No More organizers believe the federal Conservative’s bills threaten treaties and the indigenous vision of sovereignty. To that end, they organized a World Day of Action Monday, peacefully protesting attacks on democracy, sovereignty, human rights and environmental protections.

“There were protests in pretty much every place that had a mall,” said Edwards. “Ours was one of the latest in the day for starting.” Edwards was joined in Vernon by supporters from Enderby, Spallumcheen, Penticton, Kelowna and lot of the surrounding areas. The Village Green Centre had been alerted to the presence of the flash mob a couple of weeks before Monday’s demonstration. Mall security and the RCMP were also on hand. Monday was the day federal MPs returned to work on Parliament Hill. The aim of the Idle No More movement is education and the revitalization of Indigenous peoples through awareness and empowerment.

Vernon tax increase climbs further RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s financial plan is in a state of flux. Just a couple of weeks after approving a 4.2 per cent tax increase, city council gave the green light to a 4.7 per cent hike Monday to reflect some new items. “We were clarifying two issues because we didn’t have all of the information,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky. Adjustments have been made to reflect actuals for the cost of living and an annual

“Other items were over-budgeted for. I always want to see something lower.” — Bob Spiers

fee paid by Fortis for gas lines in the community. The budget will also see $40,000 for firefighter training remain. A 4.7 per cent increase translates into an additional

$53 in taxes for the average home. Of the total, 1.9 per cent is designated for future infrastructure. With the budget reopened Monday, Coun. Bob Spiers is

hoping other changes can be made before the final document is approved. “Other items were overbudgeted for,” said Spiers, adding that the core services review could identify further savings. “I always want to see something lower.” Sawatzky isn’t sure if the budget can be trimmed further. “We will see if Councillor Spiers brings forward ideas that are sustainable reductions,” said Sawatzky.

Falkland is staying right where it is. The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission has reversed thrusters and decided that Falkland will remain in the Okanagan-Shuswap riding instead of being lumped into a new constituency with Kelowna, Summerland, Merritt, Logan Lake and Princeton. “I’m glad they listened to the people,” said Rene Talbot, Columbia-Shuswap Regional District director. The commission had stated there was a need to change boundaries to reflect population trends, but Falkland residents stated their economic, Rene Talbot social and political links are with Vernon, Armstrong and Salmon Arm. Another concern was a new riding would make it challenging for Falkland residents to meet with their elected representative if they were based in Kelowna. Colin Mayes, Okanagan-Shuswap MP, says the issues raised by Falkland residents were relevant. “They associate with Vernon and the rest of the riding,” he said. “I definitely didn’t want to see them go.” By keeping Falkland, Chase and Sorrento in the riding, though, Okanagan-Shuswap will have 121,062 residents, 15 per cent over the electoral quota of 104,763. While residents may be under-represented based on figures, Mayes says, “We can handle that.” Talbot has praise for everyone involved in campaigning the commission to change its decision. “I want to express my thanks to all municipalities and regional districts that supported Falkland and of course the residents of our community who spoke out,” he said.

There is a concern that a lack of services will leave some Vernon residents struggling with addiction. K e l o w n a ’ s Crossroads Treatment Centre recently announced it will phase out detox and addiction counselling over the next six months because of financial challenges. It is the only facility of its kind in the region. “It’s a huge public health issue not to have detox,” said Rob Sawatzky, Vernon’s mayor and a retired physician. Since Crossroads made its announcement, Vernon social agencies have been considering ways to provide residents access to drug and alcohol treatment. One of the challenges, though, is there is no additional money available from the government. “If we get creative with existing service and work with the Interior Health Authority, we may be able to expand the service,” said Annette Sharkey, Social Planning Council executive director. In other matters, social agencies continue to focus on the homeless. “There is one homeless camp that we know about and people are sleeping outside in the winter,” said Sharkey. In May 2012, there were no camps in Vernon and there were two in September. “We are getting better at connecting people with services and bringing people inside,” said Sharkey.

A 41-year-old Vernon man is facing weaponsrelated charges. The problem is, he’s not supposed to be in possession of any such item. Vernon RCMP were called Jan. 25 just before noon to a home in the 3400 block of Okanagan Avenue to assist a property manager at that location. “The manager called our office after seeing gun cases in a residence,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. When officers arrived, they noticed two gun cases and arrested the one occupant of the home for a breach of weapons probation, and a breach of a conditional sentence order. “The 41-year-old man was in possession of three firearms that were reported stolen Jan. 24 from the Armstrong area,” said Molendyk. The suspect, who is well-known to police, said Molendyk, also has a lifetime ban on firearms.

A different approach

ob Sawatzky knew the question coming at him so he went into defense mode. “Don’t ask me about the A word,” Vernon’s mayor told me as I approached his desk Monday. Just minutes earlier, a consultant had raised the prospect of amalgamating Greater Vernon’s three jurisdictions while providing an update on the city’s core services review. “You need to restructure local government to be more efficient,” said Brian Bourne, a senior manager with KPMG. And such a suggestion isn’t a surprise given that Bourne comes from Ottawa, which merged with 10 other municipalities in 2001. However, Sawatzky isn’t willing to bite. “I spend no time thinking about those Richard Rolke things,” he said when asked if amalgamation would benefit Vernon or create challenges. “I am so busy with day-to-day operations.” He also isn’t convinced that a combined government is on the radar for Vernonites. “Many citizens may feel it’s logical but we mostly hear about things we deal with dayto-day,” he said of infrastructure, bylaws and development. Sawatzky’s approach is novel as Vernon mayors have traditionally taken the position that everything outside of the border should come in. Sawatzky believes that firm stance has caused significant damage. “When amalgamation has been raised before, it led to several years of dysfunction,” he said. “The benefits have been tempered by that dysfunction.” Sawatzky freely admits there is little appetite in Coldstream and the electoral areas to restructure governance and as a result, the focus must be those shared interests such as water, parks and recreation and the fire training centre.

BEyond thE hEAdlinES

“We are working towards co-operation with our neighbours,” he said adding that agreements on those costly services have created the kind of efficiencies the core review is pursuing. If Vernon was truly interested in managing financial resources better, Sawatzky says city boundaries would shrink, not get bigger. “Land use management is an important factor in terms of being efficient,” he said of plowing and paving roads, providing sewer treatment and keeping police on the beat. “We are a very spread-out, non-dense community that we have to service and that’s expensive.” Amalgamation means that even with a larger tax base, Vernon residents would become responsible for roads in the outlying areas and some of them in the BX don’t meet urban standards. There would also become an expectation among the new Vernonites to receive full city services while council and bureaucrats would struggle with land use decisions surrounding vast tracts of agricultural land in Lavington. Many of these matters are still unresolved even after almost 20 years of Okanagan Landing being part of Vernon. Of course contradictions abound. At the same time that current city council doesn’t subscribe to broad amalgamation, it accepts annexation of individual properties in the BX. For the integrity of the electoral areas, it’s like death by a thousand cuts. One could also speculate that Sawatzky’s views are influenced by the fact that he lives in the electoral area and not Vernon. It will be interesting to see if KPMG’s amalgamation suggestion gains legs, but Sawatzky’s apprehension makes it clear that such a dramatic departure won’t happen on his watch. “If it’s to ever move forward, it can’t be championed by the (political) participants seen to be promoting their own issues. As mayor of the largest community, they can’t be seen as expanding their own kingdom,” he said. “It’s not an issue I would push in my role as mayor while co-operating with our neighbours.”

The Idle No More movement continues to pick up steam. But is all of the drumming and chanting doing any good? A Canadian Press HarrisDecima poll done earlier this month found that only four in 10 Canadians is sympathetic to the goals of Idle No More. But the same poll found that fewer than four in 10 Canadians were familiar with the aims of the movement. To us, that’s a big disconnect and a sign that supporters aren’t piquing the average citizen’s interest with demonstrations. That doesn’t mean we don’t have plenty of work to do to resolve systemic problems in the relationship between First Nations and government. Getting key players on both sides to sit down and talk about those issues is a good start. Assembly of First Nations national chief Shawn Atleo, who met with Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Jan. 11, says his organization will pressure the feds to continue working toward improving that relationship. Atleo and Harper met a year ago in what the prime minister’s office called “a historic meeting.” No doubt, work has since been done to clarify goals around governance, access to education, community self-sufficiency and other areas. Idle No More emerged, nonetheless, which makes one question whether Harper and company were paying lip service to First Nations last January. Despite the seeming disconnect with the majority of Canadians, the grassroots protest movement has restoked the fire in First Nations and is slowly getting non-aboriginals to pay more attention to grassroots aboriginal issues. But progress won’t come through noisy demonstrations. It’ll be achieved through First Nations leaders working together with government using a focused, unified, businesslike approach. — Victoria News

Annexation process complicated

ecently a Barker Road resident saw an application to the province to join the City of Vernon go unsupported at the RDNO. The application was supported only by the Vernon directors. This is not surprising as in all likelihood COV representatives knew the application fit the criteria for annexation to the city. The property would have to be adjoining the city lands and perhaps annexation would relieve some hardship ie. replacement of a failing septic field by a hookup to Vernon's sanitary sewer. I am sure the Barker Road applicant must feel after RDNO's decision that we may be a little over governed here in the sunny North Okanagan. I agree with Director Macnabb as quoted by Richard Rolke. Piece meal annexations do create planning issues and that is why Vernon bundles such applications to be submitted annually to the province. To some measure it makes problem more manageable. These requests usually are to join Vernon not leave it. Director Macnabb might not agree to a solution to this recurring problem of

SPORTS COMPLEX I read Peter Vander Sars’ letter to The Morning Star and appreciated his candor regarding the way that our elected officials and bureaucrats are becoming more and more dictatorial. They ask the people what they want; then do exactly as they please. The library is one example and the roundabout on East Hill, another. I also believe that the city changing the old library into offices to suit themselves was not in the best interest of the Vernon taxpayers. The museum needed a much larger space that the old library may have provided them. Then the museum, which I believe has some water issues, perhaps they could have been addressed and served as office space for the city.

annexation requests that to many may appear obvious. Perhaps if some sort of boundary could be determined by the province that would delineate Vernon's ultimate geographic area: an area that would allow for economic expansion within Vernon; an area that would respect the rural nature of much of Greater Vernon; or perhaps an area that could reduce the amount of governance in Greater Vernon. Less government could translate into

If we need more than that, I really question how many office employees they need to look after our community. It would be helpful to have a list of the positions and a description of what their duties are. Since parking is a major issue in the downtown core, the Coldstream property being used as a parkade would make good sense. Though a new location may be warranted for the art gallery and museum, it will not have the economic impact that a new sports facility will have. As far as voting on the sports facility proposal on Okanagan College land, I believe before we vote on the dollars to be spent, we look at the location that has been chosen. Our key products, hotels, restaurants, shopping and the Wesbild Centre (that is not being

lower taxes overall, better planning and long range thinking. Let's look at how our present level of governance treats a legal request of one of its residents. The Barker Road application cites a failing septic system as a reason to join Vernon and hook up to its sanitary sewer system. It was greeted with incredulity as one of the RDNO directors expressed doubt about the veracity of the applicant's claim of septic failure.

used enough) are all located in the north end of Vernon. The race track is a ‘no brainer’ for a sport complex. It could accommodate a running track, sports field and additional ice. Because things change, it is no longer viable for the race track to be there, with its limited usage. Let’s put it where it will benefit the majority. Vernon City Council is looking to pay leasing fees to the college, why not give these monies to the horse racing group to build a new track, perhaps on property at O’Keefe Ranch. (Which is continually in need of funding.) Creating a Win-Win for both of them. Horses at the ranch, what a great concept! With a sportsplex located along side the Wesbild Centre, we would become a significant player in

Another thought that sewage potentially lying around your property and/or leaching onto to your neighbour's land is not sufficient reason to seek the best solution when it's at your doorstep. All voted not to support the application except the Vernon representatives. I understand that the electoral areas feel that their tax base is being eroded by annexations to the city. To some measure this may be the case. However It should be remembered of course that Vernon is not a black hole but remains a major contributor at the RDNO table. This citizen feels the debate over this most recent request to join Vernon, demonstrates the political unsustainability of municipal boundaries as they now stand. When the children are not happy sometimes a parent needs to find a solution. Local governments are the children of the provincial government. That is why the fate of the Barker Road application rests with Victoria. Now I know for sure the Barker Road resident feels over governed. Shawn Lee former Vernon councilor

attracting major sporting events that would bolster the perception of the area, promote economic growth, social impact, much like the City of Kamloops has experienced. Elected officials, please give us something to vote on that makes sense. With the sportsplex in a prime location, I believe the taxpayers would see the benefit and be supportive of the monies needing to be spent. I know I would. Sally Gorby CURB CONGESTION The city expects people to pay to park, yet you can't get close to the curb, then you can't get out of the car because of the snow, slush, ice and water. As a disabled taxpayer is it too much to ask to clean it up? Edward Newington

Winter’s Aria is music to the ears Vernon Community Music School hopes to build a sound foundation via fundraiser Morning Star Staff

It’s provided a solid foundation for the thousands of music students who have walked through its doors for the past three decades. The building that houses the Vernon Community Music School, a heritage home that sits proudly at the top of East Hill in Vernon, was built by the Smith family in 1908. But with age — and the notoriously shifting clay soil East Hill is known for — the house is also in dire need of repair. The costs of re-stabilizing the basement, reconstructing the verandahs, painting, roofing and so many other areas is too big for families of the school to do on their own, reports the VCMS’ board members and staff, so they are reaching out to the community for help. And as February is the month of love, the VCMS is hoping guests will support their latest fundraising efforts by purchasing a ticket for the second annual A Winter’s Aria charity dinner and ball. The event takes place Feb. 9 at the Prestige Inn Ballroom in Vernon. “Upon arrival guests will hear

tet, candlelight and flowers. “The evening’s menu will include the savoury tastes of a prime rib buffet followed by Victor Noakes, of Antique Imports, directing a live auction allowing diners to bid on thrilling items.” The dinner culminates in delicious desserts, which will be served during an intimate concert featur-

ing beautiful love ballads from the The Phantom of the Opera, as well as by rock star Sting, and a virtuoso piano sonata. The evening will then allow for guests to take a turn on the dance floor as the Legendary Lake Monsters take to the stage until midnight. A high energy 11-piece

dance band, the Legendary Lake Monsters assembled in the spring of 2012 and features Vernon area musicians with a long history in professional entertainment. The band consists of a rocksteady rhythm section, vocals, as well as a six-piece horn section and plays a wide range of musical styles including swing, salsa, Latin, rock, R&B, top 40, blues and more. Dancers should also expect the “conga monster” to make an appearance. Those supporting A Winter’s Aria will also be supporting the VCMS’ students, many of whom have gone on to pursue music as a career and as a life-long passion. “Many students have gone on to perform nationally and internationally,” said Van Gameren. “Anyone who has had a child or grandchild walk through the doors of this grand, old house, anyone who loves music and wants to see the school be a place where families of our community can continue to learn and grow musically, this gala event is for you.” Tickets for A Winter’s Aria are $65 each and can be purchased at the Ticket Seller box office, located in the Vernon Performing Arts Centre, or order by phone at 250549-7469, or online at www.ticketseller.ca.

Dine with the other meat eaters at Carnival It’s dinner theatre with Tragically Comic Players’ Post-Prehistoric Cave Dudes

Morning Star Staff

Humans may not have existed until 65 million years after dinosaurs roamed the earth, nonetheless, a bunch of troglodytes will be joining the dinos at this year’s prehistoric-themed Vernon Winter Carnival. This year’s Carnival dinner theatre production is entitled Post-Prehistoric Cave Dudes, which creator Phil Wagner, artistic director of The Tragically Comic Players, wrote specifically for this year’s carnival theme. However, he believes the show will have a lasting effect on the entire world. “Philosophy 101 is included on the cave walls, and the whole event leads ultimately to everyone’s favourite cover songs, especially the funky ones, which are also full of earth shattering, shall we say, old news,” said Wagner, who also plays a “dude” in the play. Other crazy cave people include Dan Mellows, Regina Picco, Mikaela Kemper, Elcita Young and her daughter, Keiryn, who actually play sisters in the production.

“The ladies in this play get to carry really big clubs in order to catch the biggest fanciest furs for their cave girl outfits and of course to catch the best cave dude,” said Wagner. “Everyone discovers weird sounds inside the cave that make them dance around and eventually makes them sing lyrics from songs that they’ve heard before in their dreams, I guess.” Scenic artists and stage managers include Annika Lauriston and Nicholas Elliot, while Mary Dobslaff is sound director, Rod MacDonald is lighting director, and Aidan Chernoff is an assistant. “Last year’s dinner was memorable and promises as much this year, and there is a cash bar,” said Wagner. “All ages are welcome, but it is recommended for eight and up. Reservations may be made for tables of eight and special needs audience members.” Post-Prehistoric Cave Dudes opens Feb. 6 and runs to Feb. 9 at the Village Green Hotel Sierra Room. Tickets are $48 and $43 for the dinner and the show. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Inquiries about a limited number of theatre-only tickets can be made at the Vernon Winter Photo submitted Carnival office by calling 250-545-2236.

Dr. Struensee (Mads Mikkelson) and the Queen of Denmark, Caroline Mathilda (Alicia Vikander), change the course of history when they have an affair.

Affair gives Danish history lesson For The Morning Star

The Vernon Film Society continues its varied season with A Royal Affair. The true story tells some of the history of Denmark in the late 18th century, which to most viewers will be a new experience. It is a lush, romantic but also thought provoking story of a doomed love affair between the British born queen Caroline Mathilda (Alicia Vikander; Anna Karenina) and German doctor Struensee (Mads Mikkelson; After the Wedding, The Hunt). The king, Christian VII (Mikkel Boe Folsgard) verges on the edge of madness and is easily manipulated by the court. Streunsee, who is a staunch pro-

Professor, University of Alberta In this fascinating presentation, Dr. Currie will delve into the behavior of the prehistoric Albertosaurus. Decades of work of examining fossils from the Red Deer River badlands of Alberta has led Dr. Currie to propose that these carnivorous dinosaurs, were, in fact, intelligent enough to hunt in packs.

This summer’s bike ride across Canada means many things for Anja Rietdorf. It’s a way to raise money for The Sunshine Foundation of Canada, a way to work on an art project that will continue to give after the ride is over and a chance to see more of her new country. “I chose The Sunshine Foundation because my younger brother has had developmental disabilities and epilepsy since birth and I understand the daily challenge for families. We forget them quite often because we don’t see them all the time,” said Rietdorf, who was a kindergarten teacher in her native Germany. She moved to Canada three years ago, after 14 years in the Canary Islands as a landscaper, to work as a live-in family caregiver. The Sunshine Foundation is a nonprofit organization that makes dreams come true for children with severe physical disabilities or life-threatening illness. Rietdorf has come up with several ways to help make her trip raise as much money and awareness as possible. “I’ll be on the road for almost 9,000 kilometres and I will sell each one for $10. Each kilometre that I go, I know I am making more,” she said. Her ride, called Anja’s Sunshine Ride,

starts May 12 at Mile Zero in Victoria and will end three-and-a-half months later at Mile Zero in St. John’s, Newfoundland. She will be accompanied by two friends. One will paint their experiences along the way with the pictures to be auctioned later. Another friend will make a video of as many children across Canada who have received help from The Sunshine Foundation.

“Every kilometre counts for the kids and that’s the best motivation I have.” — Anja Rietdorf “I know of three families in Vernon who went to Disneyland with The Sunshine Foundation and also those who got special assistive equipment. I will hear how these other children’s dreams came true and have events in the communities I visit,” she said. She will be in Vernon May 19 with an event in Polson Park with a ride around the park with anyone who wants to join her. She’s hoping to see people who use wheelchairs and special bikes, as well anyone else on wheels and is also inviting local bands to perform and organizations

and businesses to set up displays. Rietdorf is preparing for her ride by taking a Toastmasters course so she can speak confidently at public events, crosscountry skiing and working out on her complimentary membership at Ladies World Gym. “This ride is my way to give something back to Canada as an immigrant. I took English lessons at Vernon and District Immigrant Services when I first got here and met many great people and we keep in touch. Canada has done a lot for me,” said Rietdorf. “Every kilometre counts for the kids and that’s the best motivation I have.” She plans to come back to Vernon after the ride and work with people with special needs. Look for her riding her bike in The Vernon Winter Carnival Parade. There are several ways to help Anja’s Sunshine Ride — donations of any amount are welcome — and keep up with what she is doing. Things start with an evening event at the Talk’n Donkey on March 2, with a silent auction, and a garage sale, also in March. See her Facebook page Anja’s Sunshine Ride (you don’t have to be a Facebook user), go to her website www. sunshineride.ca, contact her at anrie007@ yahoo.de or call 250-550-8116.

Life

Too many chores, too little time

ometimes near the end of January I slip into somewhat of a frump; nothing that a couple of weeks in a hot sunny climate wouldn’t cure but it’s not to be. Maybe this grey mood is due to being stuck inside facing all my incompletes, (projects started, but not as yet completed) from winters long since passed. I began so many with great enthusiasm and then, at the first hint of spring, I headed outside, deserting them along with the winter. Since I resolved this to be the year to finish things started, I’ve taken stock and to my horror found I’ll have to live into my hundreds to have any hope of completing it all. Perhaps I need a new plan. Sigh! There is a lot of winter yet to come so I’ll

just pick three to start. First, though, I’m putting on a crock-pot of comfort food — potato soup today — to give me extra time and a delicious supper. Give one of the recipes below a try. Maybe serve with a crisp salad or home made buns. Potato Soup 6 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces 3 lbs. small red potatoes 3-1/2 tsp. salt 1 cup sour cream 1/4 lb. (1 stick) butter 2-2/3 cups whole milk 1/2 tsp. black pepper 4 scallions, thinly

sliced 3/4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese Cook bacon pieces over medium heat in a medium skillet until crisp. Transfer bacon to paper toweling to drain and set aside. Peel, rinse and cut potatoes into thirds. Place in large pot with water to cover, add 2 tsp. salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook until the potatoes are very soft, about 45 minutes. Drain potatoes, discarding the water, and return them to the pot. Mash with a potato masher until smooth. Add the sour cream and butter and stir until melted. Add the milk, pepper and remaining salt and bring the soup back to a simmer. Divide among 8 bowls and serve the soup hot, garnished

with scallions, cheese and bacon. Slow Cooker, Easy Baked Potato Soup 10 red potatoes, cut into cubes 3 tbsp. all-purpose flour 3/4 cup real bacon bits 1 small red onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 2 tbsp. chicken bouillon granules 1 tbsp. ranch dressing mix 2 tsp. dried parsley 1 tsp.seasoned salt 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper 3 cups water 1 cup half-and-half 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, or to taste 1/4 cup chopped green onion, or to taste Put potatoes in bottom of slow cooker. Scatter flour over potatoes; toss to coat. Scatter bacon bits, red onion, garlic, chicken bouillon, ranch dressing

fight off any “bad” bacteria trying to gain access to your system. Diets high in refined sugar, frequent antibiotic use, and everyday stress can disrupt this healthy balance, leaving one more vulnerable to sickness. Help restore healthy digestive flora by eating foods that naturally contain good bacteria and/ or by taking a probiotic supplement. Probiotics can be found naturally in fermented foods such as yogurt, buttermilk, miso, tempeh and fresh sauerkraut. Vitamin D is also thought to play an important role in strengthening the immune system. Health Canada recommends 200-600 IU per day depending on age. Some national health organizations recom-

mend higher doses. For instance the Canadian Cancer Society recommends 1,000 IU per day for adults during the fall and winter. Dietary sources of vitamin D include milk, fortified soy beverage, salmon, tuna, sardines and egg yolks. Talk to your health care provider to learn if you are getting enough Vitamin D. Of course nutrition is only part of the solution. Exercise is also a powerful way to bolster your immune system. Among the many benefits of exercise is stress reduction. Stress takes a significant toll on our immune system so it’s important to take time for yourself. Get out for a brisk walk, bike ride, take part in yoga, or any physical activity that you enjoy!

Special to The Morning Star

A strong immune system is the body’s best defense against colds and flu. Help fight common bugs by filling your diet with healthy foods. Load up on fruits and vegetables. They contain powerful antioxidants, vitamins and minerals which will build up your immune system to help fight off illness. Choose brightly coloured or dark green fruits and veggies for the most antioxidants. Aim for seven to eight servings per day. One serving equals one small to medium sized piece of fruit or vegetable or half a cup of chopped. Digestive health plays an important role in preventing sickness.

RogeR Knox Morning Star Staff

Vernon Fire Rescue Services are treating an early morning Sunday car fire as suspicious in nature. Fire and police personnel responded to a report of an older model Pontiac on fire in the 4000 block of 32nd Avenue shortly before 6:30 a.m., but discovered the car was ablaze at a home in the 3900 block close to a shed.

“The fire departmen arrived and contained the fire to the vehicle,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendy. “There are no suspects or witnesses at this time.” The car was completely destroyed in the fire, and was later towed to a bay where fire inspectors could investigate. The incident remains under investigation by both fire and police officials.

Sheriff ready for Dreamlift Day RichaRd RolKe Morning Star Staff

Capt. Bob Peterson is looking forward to big smiles and lots of generosity. The Orange County sheriff will be at the Vernon Wendy’s today as part of the 19th annual Wendy’s Dreamlift Day. “There is an outpouring of love and support,” said Peterson, who was also in Vernon last year. Funds raised at Wendy’s restaurants, including in Vernon, help the Sunshine Foundation take children with severe physical disabilities or lifethreatening illnesses to Disneyland for a day. All of the profits and staff and management wages Wednesday will go to the foundation. Last year, a record $114,276 was raised, pushing the cumulative total since 1995 to $1.1 million. Indicative of the community support, residents stand in line to place their orders and donate. “They give it will-

ingly and freely,” said Peterson, who remembers a young child handing over the contents of his piggy bank last year. “Wow, that’s giving.” Members of the Orange County Sheriff Department volunteer their time as chaperones when the children are touring Disneyland. For Peterson, the experience has been

transforming. “For one day, you have the opportunity to change a child’s life and to take the pain and suffering away,” he said. So impressed with the North Okanagan’s compassion during Wendy’s Dreamlift Day, he wants to bring Los Angeles media with him in 2014. “I want them to see the magnitude of com-

munity support,” he said. The theme of this year’s Wendy’s Dreamlift Day is refer a child. Wendy’s and the Sunshine Foundation want everyone in the Interior to know how to refer a child who may be eligible for the trip to the Magic Kingdom. The next scheduled flight to Disneyland is in late 2013.

Coldstream officials will make it easier for residents who have concerns about water quality. Residents often call the municipal office about water issues, only to be told that they have to call the Regional District of North Okanagan which oversees the water utility. Now, instead of residents making a second call, Coldstream employees will contact the regional district on behalf of the resident. “We want to provide better service for customers by moving their concerns forward,” said Michael Stamhuis, chief administrative officer. Stamhuis Morale strong at fire halls Enthusiasm is strong at the Coldstream and Lavington fire halls. Both departments have submitted their 2012 annual reports to Coldstream council. “The reports are a reflection of where we are and where we are trying to go in the community,” said Shane Code, Coldstream fire chief. Mayor Jim Garlick recently met with firefighters from both halls. “The attitude and morale is great,” said Garlick.

News New reservoir adds more storage Morning Star Staff

A major improvement to a North Westside Road water system is now completed. About 700 customers of the Killiney Beach utility have a brand new reservoir, which adds 300,000 litres of additional water storage to the existing 76,000-litre reservoir. As well, the $580,000 project saw more than 300 meters of new water mains installed and minor improvements made to the system’s remote online monitoring and control system. “The expansion of the Udell Reservoir and new water main construction will solve a number of nagging issues for customers of the Killiney Beach system,” said Robert Hobson, Regional District of

Central Okanagan chairperson. “The additional water storage capacity will satisfy short and long term water supply requirements and the new mains allow an alternative option for providing water for fire protection.” The regional district received a $400,000 grant from the provincial government for the project. “The B.C. government recognizes it can be challenging for local governments to cover the cost of important infrastructure projects in their community,” said Ben Stewart, Westside-Kelowna MLA. This project will provide greater operational efficiency and a higher water quality – all of which is essential to the ongoing health and well-being of British Columbians in the Central Okanagan region.”

Avalanche topple Sinners Morning Star Staff

The Revelstoke Avalanche grounded the host Pleasant Valley Sinners 41-38 in Saturday’s final of the Winter Snoball Senior Girls Basketball Tournament in Armstrong. Allysha West led the Sinners with seven points and took game MVP. “The girls just came up short against the five-person Avalanche squad,” said Sinners’ coach George Koscis. “We outshot them, but couldn’t find the bottom of the net.” To reach the final, PVSS iced the Heritage Christian Saints of Kelowna 55-33 before ambushing the Seaton Sonics 46-14. Player of the game Alyssa Johnson finished with 20 points versus Kelowna, while Ashley Ringdal drained 10, Ella Brown had nine and Aurora Cox chipped in with eight. Game MVP Brown rung up 13 points as the Sinners slammed the Sonics. Next action for the Sinners is Friday when they open the four-team Osoyoos Rattlers tournament. In North Zone senior AA girls league play, the VSS Panthers upended the visiting Kalamalka Lakers 73-55. Sage Blundell flushed 23 points, including five shots from Lakeview Park, to spark the Panthers. Quinsy Leier pocketed 16 points and seven rebounds, while Karley Fugel earned 11 points and six boards and Mary Rice counted nine points. “It was a good team win against a very good team that is well-coached,” said VSS cocoach Bobby Mitchell. “Our depth was a big difference in this game as we were able to wear them down as the game went on.” The Panthers brushed back Revelstoke 57-42 in other league action, getting a dozen points from Rice and eight apiece from Jenna Marion, Blundell, Fugel and Leier. The Cats face the Yale Lions of Abbotsford Friday in the KSS Owls tournament. In senior boys action, Luke Harrigan dialed up 13 points as Seaton bested the PVSS Saints 49-32 Saturday in Armstrong. Kuup Peters, with 11, and Alex Baxter, with 10, rounded out the 2-3 Sonics’ scoring. Devan Pipke and Kyle Boyd paced the Saints with 11 and eight points respectively. AJ Jhajj drained 17 points and grabbed a dozen rebounds as the Kal Lakers outlasted VSS 69-63 Saturday night at the Panther Pit. Chris Gallant sank 12 points for the Lakers, while Mitchell Pepper pumped in 17

The Vernon Senior Tigers are done. Team president Roy Clissold said a lack of players forced the Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League team to fold, four months before the 2013 season begins. “The Senior Tigers are one of the oldest sports organizations in the Okanagan Valley and team officials regret having to disband the team,” Clissold told The Morning Star. Clissold said only three players committed for this season. The league will hold a disbursement draft of those players. “I can’t see a comeback,” said Clissold. “Most of the players have had to leave the area for employment. There are four ex-Tigers playing for the Okotoks Erratics (in Alberta).” Clissold said there is a strong volunteer base, but without the Junior Tigers joining the Senior club upon graduation, the player numbers simply aren’t there. The Tigers, coached by Lawrie Skolrood, struggled to get 10 players at games last year and finished last in the four-team circuit. The Armstrong Shamrocks, Kelowna Raiders and Kamloops Rattlers are ¥ what’s left of the Senior C Okanagan league.

Kelowna squeezed its first point out of the Cornerstone Dental Rush in a 4-4 Tween A tie Sunday at Priest Valley Arena.

Midget Vipers love Michigan route Morning Star Staff

They met Red Wing GM Ken Holland at Joe Louis Arena before watching Detroit play the Dallas Stars, they watched NCAA basketball and hockey games, toured some major schools, and played a lot of high-level hockey. It was a fantasy trip of sorts for the Vernon Home Building Centre Midget Tier 1 Vipers, coached by Rob Spraggs and Scott Flood. The Snakes played five games in the Muskegon, Mich. Invitational. “It was amazing,” said Spraggs, assisted by Scott Flood. “We improved every day and even though we went 0-5, I think that overall the boys played really well and they were able to compete with some of the best Midget U18 AAA programs in North America.” The Vipers ended their trek Monday morning by visiting the Notre Dame University in Chicago. “The boys were enthralled with the athletic facilities there as well as the history that could be seen all over campus,” said Spraggs. “It was the highlight of the week for many of them. This team is a collection of the nicest, well-mannered and polite young men I have ever seen. They received compliments everywhere we went. They were a shining example of what a group of hockey players should be. They represented themselves and GVMHA incredibly well on this trip.” While on a two-hour visit of Michigan State, the Vipers sat in the Munn Arena dressing room stalls and listened to advice from Spartans’ head coach Tom Anastos. The Vipers finished the Muskegon invitational Sunday, losing 4-2 to the Western Michigan U18 Hounds and falling 2-0 to the St. Louis Falcons. Chad Thomas and Blaine Caton scored Vernon goals against the Hounds with Bruin Stair going the distance in net. St. Louis outshot the Vipers 29-22 with Stair in goal. It was scoreless after one period. Vernon (6-7-2) takes on the California U16 Selects Saturday (10:30 a.m.) at Civic before starting the Okanagan Mainline playoffs the following weekend against Kamloops (9-4-2).

Mustangs face Rockets in playoffs

The Watkin Motors Mustangs lost 3-1 to the Kelowna Jr. Rockets in Pee Wee Tier 1 action Saturday at Memorial Arena. It was scoreless at the ice clean as Jordan Wilde excelled between the Mustang pipes. Dylan Sedlacek converted, from Coleton Bilodeau and Dawson Chase. The two teams met again Sunday morning in exhibition play with the host Rockets winning 7-3. Rowan Miller, Nicholas Cherkowski and Sedlacek handled the Vernon offence. The Mustangs (4-10-1) visit the Rockets (8-5-1) Friday night for Game 1 in the best-of-three semifinal playoff series. The second game goes Sunday, 2:45 p.m. at Civic Arena in Vernon.

Coca-Cola Midgets fall to Kelowna

The Coca-Cola Midget Tier 3 Vipers wrapped up their regular season by losing 5-3 to the West Kelowna Warriors Saturday at Wesbild Centre. Jordan Rea opened the scoring for Vernon with assists to Jeff Bochon and Hayden Chase. Scott Latwat levelled the score with assists to Mitchell Lukacs and Zach Manton. Midway through the second period, Lukacs scored on the power play with assists to Lee Springer and Brandon Rysen. The Warriors netted three unanswered goals, improving to 7-7. Evan Campagnolo took the loss for the 7-7 Vipers. The Coca-Cola crew wrap up their season with the Tri-Cities tournament, Feb. 22-24, in Washington State.

Tier 3 Vikes take down Kelowna

The Vernon Fix-Auto Vikings ended their Bantam Tier 3 regular season with a 4-3 victory over the Kelowna Rockets Sunday at Civic Arena. Vernon took a 2-0 lead into the ice clean on goals by Colton Skead, from Carl Main and Cody Bauml, and Stephan Richard on a breakaway, after a feed from Logan Imrich. The Vikings (6-9) took a 3-1 lead late into the third period before Kelowna (7-7-1) took advantage of some penalty trouble to equalize. With 22 seconds to play, Richard converted from Imrich and Jason Shaigec. Vernon’s third goal came from Skead, assists going to Shaigec and Riley Swiscoski. The Vikings are in a Prince George tournament this weekend.

Vernon girls boost Midget Silvertips

The Salmon Arm Silvertips, whose roster includes nine girls from Vernon, blanked Kelowna 6-0 in Midget A action Sunday at the Shaw Centre. And the Vernon girls played a key role in the victory. Goalie Kylie Assi picked up the shutout, while Jenna Lazar and Lisa Campeau both added a goal and an assist. Ashley Tinney also chipped in with a helper. Other Vernon girls on the 14-0-1 Silvertips include Brittany Jackson, Jess Murphy, Hannah Scherck, Danielle Butler and Molly Box, while Leea Lawson serves as the team’s manager.

Tier 4 Knights lose to Grizzlies

In Pee Wee Tier 4 action, the North Okanagan Knights fell 9-8 to the Revelstoke Grizzlies Sunday afternoon in Enderby. Ethan Maarhuis and Matt Dolinar each scored twice with Dolinar pulling the Knights within a goal, with 30 seconds left, and goalie Wyatt Fowler on the bench for a sixth attacker. Wesley Graves, Michael Kormany, Jake Crandelmire and Kord Haller added singles.

Wolfpack brush back Bruins 10-2

The H&L Glass Wolfpack smothered the host Winfield Bruins 10-2 in Senior Atom Development action Saturday. Tanner Brown, Trevor Kennedy and Ben King each netted a pair of goals with singles coming from Steel Quiring, Logan Chapdelaine, Porter Treveylan and Ben Imrich. The Wolfpack improved to 15-0-1. Winfield dipped to 3-8-3. On Sunday, the Wolfpack iced the Vernon Valleywood Venom 4-1 in exhibition play. Jaxxon Collard, Isaac Thomas, King and Chapdelaine handled the Pack offence. Gavin Medema replied for the Venom. Cayden Hamming and Tanner Witt split the H&L goaltending duties.

Okanagan gains split with Blazers

The Okanagan Rockets split a pair of Okanagan Major Midget League games with the Thompson Blazers of Kamloops. Vernon Viper prospect Alex Gran, Brett Mennear, Josh Blanchard, Cortlan Proctor and Carter Hikichi scored as the Rockets bounced the Blazers 5-2 Saturday at the Capital News Centre. Spencer Hewson of Vernon had one assist for the Rockets. Nicholas Chyzowski bagged two goals for the Blazers. Chyzowski supplied two snipes Sunday morning as the Blazers surprised the Rockets 4-2 at Art Holding Memorial Arena in Chase. Mennear and Justin Marreck scored for the third-place Rockets (21-4-5). The Blazers are 6-242. Vernon’s Dennon Leibel is with the Rockets, who visit the Cariboo Cougars this weekend.

Knights slam Steam for 10th straight KIJHL win Morning Star Staff

Pantazopoulos

North Okanagan Knights head coach Kris Mallette had concerns his team might be a bit flat going into their Sunday matinee with the Summerland Steam. By the three-minute mark, he said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was no contest.â&#x20AC;? The Knights matched a season-high offensive output in dismantling the Steam 7-0 in front of 175 Kootenay International Junior Hockey League fans at Summerland Arena.

Riding a 10-game win streak, North Okanagan (3111-1-2) can earn a share of first overall with the Nelson Leafs (32-11-2-1) when they host the Sicamous Eagles (25-12-2-4) tonight at Nor-Val Sports Centre. The Knightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; No. 1 line of Steve Pantazopoulos (2+2), Derek Andrews (1+3) and Matty Saharchuk (1+2) accounted for 11 points against the 18-24-1-2 Steam. Singles by Andrews (15th goal) and Morgan Johnson (17th) gave North Okanagan the lead at

the first intermission. A second-period pair by Pantazopoulos (11th, 12th), one of them shorthanded, had it 4-0 after two periods. Andrews won a race for the puck before teeing one up for Pantazopoulos from the hashmarks for the shorty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those two on the PK were creating a lot of havoc, and a lot of chances,â&#x20AC;? said Mallette. Connor Richards, converting a forehand-backhand move for his eighth goal, call-up Kobe Oishi, taking a 2-on-1 feed from Brandon Shirley, and Saharchuk, cutting hard to the net, handled the third-period offence. Dustin Nikkel made 22 saves for his first shutout. Connor DeMelo had 29 saves for Summerland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nikkel was tested a few times and made some saves, but other than that we were pretty stingy,â&#x20AC;? said Mallette. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a good end to the weekend.â&#x20AC;? n The Salmon Arm SilverBacks took three of six points from a BCHL weekend road trip, starting with a 5-2 loss to the Langley Chiefs Friday night. The Gorillas responded with a 5-1 pummeling of the Chilliwack Chiefs Saturday at Prospera Centre. Vernon product Alex Gillies sniped a pair for the 19-18-2-4 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Backs, who lead the Vernon Vipers by nine points for the final Interior Division playoff berth. Harlan Orr, another Vernon native, supplied two assists. Orr helped set up Salmon Armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lone goal in a 2-1 OT loss to the Surrey Eagles Sunday at South Surrey Arena. The SilverBacks are in Vernon Saturday night. Meanwhile, the Coquitlam Express, who visit the 14-21-0-7 Vipers Friday at Wesbild Centre, scraped by the host Prince George Spruce Kings 4-3 in OT Sunday at the Coliseum. The Express are last in the Mainland at 18-25-1. n Former Vernon Viper forward Mike Collins, now of Merrimack College, is the Hockey East Conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s player of the week. The Boston product was in on each goal, assisting on the winner, as Merrimack grounded New Hampshire 3-2 Friday. Collins leads the Warriors with 13-17-30 in 25 games and is tied for 11th in NCAA Division I scoring.

C H R I S T M A S COMPETITION: PLAYPROBLEM ANSWER Arthur C. Clarke, an English science-fiction writer who lived a lot of his life in Sri Lanka, said, “I don’t pretend we have all the answers. But the questions are certainly worth thinking about.” I hope you thought the questions in my Christmas Competition were worth thinking about. And I am going to give you my answers without pretense. However, they will have to be furnished in two stages, because the East-West hands will change slightly for the play problem. This was the initial question: How should South play in four hearts after West

leads the club king? Declarer has eight top tricks: five hearts, two diamonds and one club. The heart finesse is bound to fail, of course. But a high spade can be established and perhaps a low spade ruffed in the dummy. It looks natural to lead a spade to dummy’s 10 at trick two. Here, though, if East wins with his ace and shifts to his trump, the contract cannot be made. West can kill the spade ruff. Instead, South should play a diamond to the dummy, then lead the spade three toward his hand. If East wins with his ace, declarer loses only two spades and one heart, being able to establish two spade winners. If East plays low, South’s

queen loses to West’s king, but West cannot shift with effect to hearts. Suppose he leads a club. Declarer ruffs and plays a spade to the 10. East wins and switches to a trump, but South can try the finesse, being assured of one spade, five hearts, two diamonds, one club and one spade ruff.

David was predeceased by both his father and mother and tragically, our beautiful daughter, Cara Dawn Johnston, joined her Daddy on January 23rd, 2013. David is survived by his loving family; wife Wendy, daughter Jacquie (Kurt), grandchildren Hennacey and Naomi, son-in-law Dave, grandchildren Katie, Landon and Haleigh. Also grandchildren Emily, Alexis, Nathaniel and Kate, in-laws, numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family members and by a very special group of life-long friends known as Dave’s Crew. David was born in Smithers, BC and going full circle, left us in Smithers, BC. He grew up in Vernon, BC, received his schooling and worked there, until moving to Houston, BC in April 2008. While employed in Vernon at MAAX Westco, David was also a member of the British Columbia Dragoons and a volunteer firefighter with the City of Vernon. He was so very proud to serve his country and his city and we are so very proud of him. In respecting David’s wishes, there will be no formal Service. In honouring his memory, there will be a time for sharing at the Belanger residence and a time to raise a glass or 2 in Vernon, dates to be determined. In David’s words: “Shed a tear if you must, then build a bridge and get over it ... Party!” Until we are together again my Bully Bear, rest easy, hug our daughter tightly and know you are loved and missed, so very, very much. Cremation arrangements were entrusted to RA Schrader Funeral Home, Smithers, BC
