Former ski coach pleads guilty to charge LEVI PULKKINEN seattlepi.com
A ski coach at a Seattle private school accused of secretly recording nude teen girls on a trip to Silver Star Mountain Resort has pleaded guilty to a related federal offence. Bush School ski coach Jason Paur was arrested near Kelowna after he was caught making videos of Bush School students durJason Paur ing a trip to Silver Star in December 2013. Initially charged in Canada, Paur, 44, faced federal prosecutors after he was returned to the United States. Initially accused of producing child
pornography, Paur pleaded guilty Monday morning to a reduced charge. Paur previously served time in Canada for crimes related to the incident. Authorities in B.C. arrested Paur on Dec. 11, 2013. The following day, federal investigators searched Paur’s home in Seattle’s Green Lake neighborhood. Having worked for the Madison Valley private school for more than 15 years, Paur coached the Bush School cross country running and skiing teams. He and the co-ed cross country ski team were at Silver Star for a five-day training session when Paur was arrested. A chaperone on the trip contacted RCMP the night of Dec. 10 after three girls found a video camera hidden in their bedroom. The girls, aged 14 to 16, initially thought the camera was a prank, but then, on view-
ing the recording, saw Paur setting up the camera in the bedroom of other girls on the trip. An officer arrived and confirmed what the girls told their chaperones. The officer arrested Paur just before 2 a.m. and was subsequently charged in Canada. Searching Paur’s home, investigators seized five cell phones, a laptop, two cameras and three hard drives. They also recovered 31 flash drives and 99 mini-digital video cassettes. One video seized from his home showed a 17-year-old girl changing during a school ski trip in 2011, a Homeland Security Investigations agent said in a sworn statement. The video also showed Paur, who was engaged to marry at the time, setting up the camera. Two other videos taken during a 2012 ski trip also showed two girls changing. The
girls were identified and determined to be 14 and 15 at the time. Paur, again, was caught on video recovering the camera. According to the agent, Paur also recorded girls at Bush School. Paur is shown on the November 2013 video setting up the camera minutes before the girl entered the room to change; he returned seconds after she finished to recover the camera. Paur was returned to the United States in March. He initially pleaded not guilty, and has been jailed since. Paur pleaded guilty to transportation with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity. In doing so, he admitted to taking one or more people across a border intending to engage in child pornography production. He is scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 2 in U.S. District Court at Seattle.

Silver Star embraces snowfall
Accident claims local man Morning Star Staff
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Anticipation is building among skiers as the first major snowfall of the season blankets Silver Star. Valley bottom rain throughout the weekend translated into about 23 centimetres of snow being in the village Monday and more than 35 centimetres at higher elevations. “It’s dry, not heavy stuff,” said Brad Baker, Silver Star Mountain Resort’s operations director. On Tuesday, staff began track-packing and rolling the cross-country trails. Anticipated snowfall later this week will allow grooming to start in anticipation of the nordic season opening Nov. 12. “As long as we don’t get a warm spell, we’re well on track,” said Baker. “Things are looking good.” Snow usually begins falling any time after the third week of October, and as of Monday morning, the snow line was down to the first switchback on Silver Star Road. Baker says there were a lot of happy staff mem-

Snow blankets the village at Silver Star Mountain Resort Monday morning. Preparation of cross-country trails began Tuesday. bers Monday morning when they saw the snow. “It gets everyone in the right gear. It cracks the whip and puts us in the right direction to open,” he said.
The forecast is calling for snow at Silver Star Thursday and Saturday. The alpine season is expected to start at the resort Nov. 26.
Enderby considers new look for main street RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Enderby’s main street could undergo a major transformation. City council received several design options for Cliff Avenue Monday, and the one that will be investigated is maintaining two-way traffic but with sidewalk bulbs. “There would be strategic areas where there are pullouts and more seating,” said Mayor Greg McCune, adding that the goal is to create a pedestrian-friendly environment. “Our downtown is our retail core. We need to get focused there. There are a couple of vacant buildings and we hope to spur something on.” The possible price tag for the
“We are trying to get all of the information we can.” — Greg McCune
work is $1.2 to $1.5 million but no decisions on proceeding with the project have been made. The next step is for staff to work with the engineering/architectural team on a concept design. This process will include infrastructure requirements, esthetic enhancements and economic opportunities. “We are trying to get all of the
information we can,” said McCune. “We need to go to the businesses and say this is what we are thinking about. We want to provide them with a good visual.” Among the other options put before council were an eastbound one-way with angle parking on one side, a westbound one-way with angle parking on one side, a pedes-
trian only street, a two-way street with parallel parking and a two-way street with angle parking. “As any changes in flow may have a significant impact upon adjacent areas and functional/esthetic design considerations, prior to commencing work on the conceptual design, staff worked with the engineering/ architectural team on a variety of preliminary design options,” said Tate Bengtson, chief administrative officer, in a report. “The intent was to evaluate options in terms of overall traffic and pedestrian movement downtown, as well as the esthetic and functional opportunities offered by each option.”

A Vernon man has been identified as the victim of a single-vehicle accident near Golden. Michael Christopher Swanson, 36, was killed at about 6 a.m. Friday when his small commercial transport vehicle left Highway 95, went down an embankment and rolled over into a residential property near the community of Parson, 35 kilometres south of Golden. Swanson was the sole occupant of the vehicle, according to the coroner. The highway was reduced to single-lane alternating traffic for a few hours, re-opening once emergency crews departed the scene. The B.C. Coroner’s office is still investigating the incident.

Trick or treating stays quiet Morning Star Staff
There were very few tricks for Vernon firefighters during Halloween. There was just one call during Halloween festivities Saturday night, a couple of pieces of cardboard on fire in the middle of Scott Road. “They were extinguished quickly by the crew,” said Jack Blair, deputy fire chief. “On-duty crew reported that all in all, it was a quiet night. All of the ghosts and goblins behaved themselves and played safe from a fire department viewpoint.” There were no real problems over the weekend for the VernonNorth Okanagan RCMP. “Nothing substantive happened on Halloween,” said Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy.

Lumby denies handyDart bid RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Financial realities have detoured demands for accessible transit for Lumby seniors. Council decided Monday not to proceed with a request from inSite Housing, Hospitality and Health Services for handyDart transit. “The cost is very prohibitive,” said Coun. Lori Mindnich. It’s not known what the exact cost could be, but Greater Vernon’s two electoral areas pay about $22,000 a year each for handyDart. “That equates to a three per cent tax increase for us,” said Mayor Kevin Acton.,
“The cost is very prohibitive.”
— Lori Mindnich adding that the electoral areas are closer to Vernon than his community. “We already pay a lot per rider for (standard) transit. We support the philosophy of handyDart but we would have a hard time justifying the cost per rider to taxpayers.” A petition has collected more than 560 names in support of handyDart.
OCP input sought JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Coldstream residents are invited to gain some information about the future of their community. The district is hosting an open house Thursday on the Official Community Plan at the municipal office between 3 and 8 pm. “Our intention is to provide information,” said Michael Reiley, Coldstream’s director of development services. A public hearing will follow and is tentatively scheduled for Nov. 23. Some proposals in the OCP include allowing urban chickens in the community, expanded riparian development permit areas to protect fish habitat, new DPA’s to protect environmental land and greenhouse gas reduction targets. Comments about the proposed plan can be emailed, mailed, faxed or dropped off at the district office. For more information visit www.coldstream.ca, under the What’s New tab.
“The need for handyDart services is particularly evident in Lumby for a number of reasons,” said Carole Holmes, president of inSight, which operates the Monashee Mews seniors residence. “Currently, seniors have few options available to them when they must travel into Vernon to attend important appointments with doctors, specialists and to
obtain any number of services not currently available to them locally in Lumby.” According to Holmes, a round-trip taxi ride to Vernon can cost about $120. “This is simply not affordable for most seniors and in particular those who are dependent on some form of subsidized income,” she said. “These services would make a world of difference not just for the residents of Monashee Mews but for the seniors of the village as a whole.” While the village won’t proceed with handyDart, Acton says community groups are
looking at options to improve transportation services for seniors. “We explained the costs involved and that the service comes with a significant cost,” he said of inSite’s request.

Reports shot down A Lumby politician’s calls for greater communication with community groups have been stalled. Coun. Nick Hodge was opposed by his colleagues Monday when he asked for annual reports from the Lumby Lions and recreational slowpitch players because they use property owned by the village. “He can just go and ask the Lions about issues. Our staff is busy enough as it is,” said Coun. Lori Mindnich. Mayor Kevin Acton also didn’t support the motions Nick Hodge brought forward by Hodge. “There was a lot of confusion around it,” said Acton. “When you start requesting information from groups, you should be specific. There was a concern about micro-managing.” The Lions manage a campsite on village land and Hodge was seeking a range of information, including campsite usage compared to previous years. As for the slowpitch players, Hodge wanted a report that outlined the nights used for weekly play, the number of tournaments, how often the flood lights are used and comments about the loss of the concession building. “I was interested in the utilization of the properties,” said Hodge, adding that his goal wasn’t to micro-manage but to assist the community organizations. “If the campground is not being used to its maximum, were there ways to help usage increase and the same at Royals Park.”
Thursday. “I’m sure it’s been a difficult time for him as it has been for members not re-elected,” said Arnold. Because of the shift from a Conservative to Liberal government and a number of new MPs being elected, Arnold still hasn’t been assigned an office o Parliament Hill. “A lot of shuffling is taking place and there’s a lot of people to move,”

Seeing is believing
he media was provided with a no holds barred tour of Vernon’s Civic Arena. The goal was to present current conditions at the 1938 facility and it immediately became obvious that there are significant deficiencies. Perimeter cracks abound in the walls, with the worst being in sections B and G while there are fractures in the trusses far above the ice. Leaving the main building and going outside, we enter a side structure for condenser storage where the roof joists need to be upgraded. “We’re worried about Richard Rolke it coming down,” said Jim Coughlin, facilities manager, of wet snow adding extra weight. In the north mechanical room, joists are rotten and caved in. Back inside the main arena, we head to the washrooms where some antiquated fixtures have been replaced. However, a men’s washroom has been abandoned because the toilets don’t work. “There’s not much demand for an extra washroom so instead of investing dollars, you shut the room off,” said Doug Ross, recreation services director. Seventy-seven-year-old electrical wiring is being investigated and the scope of potential upgrades is unknown. But while what we’ve seen to date is staggering, the worst is yet to come as we stop next to the ice sheet itself. Buried under the ice are brine pipes needed to keep everything cold. They are covered in corrosion and 60 per cent of the pipe wall

integrity is gone. “The possibility of the brine system failing is imminent,” said Ross. A sudden break would require the ice to be melted and the concrete broken open for repairs, but some city officials question going to that expense given the age of the refrigeration system. If the repairs aren’t made, 40 per cent of Civic’s users will be benched permanently because there isn’t enough ice time elsewhere. On top of this, heaving has led to variances in ice thickness from one to 4.5 inches, and the concrete slab is covered in cracks that prevent ball hockey and lacrosse in the summer. But just as we think the tour is wrapping up, we’re taken down to the lower levels where minor hockey stores equipment. Exterior water has undermined large sections of the concrete wall and the wood frame. The potential price tag is about $100,000. “It may be more efficient to lock the door and not do repairs,” said Ross of the storage area. While the first-hand experience of seeing Civic was worthwhile and will assist reporters covering the issue, it’s not the media that has to be convinced that a new ice sheet is required. Leading up to the Nov. 28 referendum, Greater Vernon residents must be provided with an opportunity to tour Civic themselves and get a sense of the structural problems, the costs for upgrades and the arena’s ultimate lifespan. That way they can then balance those factors against borrowing funds for twinning Kal Tire Place and make an informed decision at the ballot box. The City of Vernon and Regional District of North Okanagan could rely on press releases to create awareness, but the old adage of seeing is believing rings true.
The news that Canada Post is halting installation of community mailboxes across the country will surely be greeted as good news by many. Opposed by both the union representing postal workers and residents who prize door-to-door delivery, the Crown corporation’s efforts to move towards community boxes was always going to be a tough sell. The conversion program was made more difficult by Canada Post themselves, who, in the face of evidence of widespread theft from the boxes, clamped down on information and went into a shell. While mail delivery is hardly the most important service provided by the federal government and the agencies and corporations under its control, the fact that both the Liberals and the NDP thought it politically advantageous to halt the installation of community mailboxes speaks to the failure of Canada Post to sell its initiative to the public it serves. Which is not to say that initiative is without merit. Indeed, it’s hard to argue that mail delivery has not decreased in importance since the rise of the Internet. The amount of mail has been shrinking for years and will only drop more in years to come. Furthermore, many people already receive mail in community boxes. It’s hardly ridiculous for Canada Post, and the government that owns it, to consider ways to reduce costs – even if it means service will not be the same as 50 years ago, when postal delivery played a much larger role in Canadians’ lives. The incoming Liberal government will be expected to keep its promise to protect home delivery. But that shouldn’t entail a blank cheque for a service in need of modernization. -Black Press

Let's promote free parking
t's great that the City of Vernon offers some free parking at a couple of downtown parking lots every Saturday. The problem is that most people don't know about it. I have worked in downtown Vernon for several years and I am shocked that most people have not heard about the free parking offered. I also get really frustrated at how quickly the by-law officers hand out tickets, especially on Saturdays, when in many cases only one block away is an almost empty parking lot. Recently, the City of Vernon updated many signs and I must say that they look really good except for the parkade. It is almost impossible to read the very small print on the bottom of the only sign that says, "Free on Saturdays." Prior to this recent sign, there was nothing to indicate this at all. Apparently the DVA has offered to make a nice big sign to promote the free parking on Saturdays but the city has declined. There is also free parking every Saturday at the large lot located at the other end of downtown at
PICKLEBALL IN POLSON I would like to respond to the article regarding pickleball in Polson Park. Just to set everything straight in the beginning, I am very happy that the pickleball club is promoting its sport with the younger people, as this area of the population will benefit from it but we must get the senior people more involved as they also will benefit from the sport. But I am also a frequent user of Polson Park for watching the ducks, a quiet place to sit and think and also a lovely spot to just walk. You want the municipality to fund courts for public and club use, but why should the private taxpaying citizens pay for something that it will not have access to at all times, and the majority will never use? It states this central location would provide practical noonhour access. Well, it is already well used by people exercising, skateboarders, mothers with children,
the old Coldstream Hotel location (across from the bus depot). It's interesting that not one customer that I have asked knows about this free parking at either parking lot. In my opinion, the City of Vernon needs to do a much better job of promoting this. I know it is difficult to want to promote something that is free, rather than collecting parking revenue. Downtown businesses need customers and many customers have been frustrated about the parking situation. I am sure customers would be happy to save money on Saturdays if they knew where to park. So, lets make every Saturday a shop local day. Why not relax. Go for lunch, watch a movie at the theatre and go shopping downtown. You won't have to worry about getting a parking ticket if you park at these two lots. Why not support local businesses? There are 200 to 280 free parking spaces waiting for you downtown every Saturday. L. Woodman
tennis players and people like myself for a quiet place to relax. By building this type of amenity, it will cause a large increase in vehicle traffic and even now you have trouble finding a parking space. It also says this would be a huge competitive advantage in holding open tournaments throughout the summer and where are all of these people going to park? Where are they going to stay as the majority of hotels are a fair distance away, and transportation will be by car? How much money are you going to be adding to the funds available from the city as a taxpayer who is already looking at an increase in taxes next year? I am retired and living on a fixed income and large increases in my taxes will force me to move from my home of 17 years. If you want to have my taxes for this, then at least when you put your request forward to us, please have a total amount that your group is going to put towards this project, the effect of congestion from increased traffic on the surrounding areas and
who will pay for all the upkeep and improvements you will want. This area has traffic problems at present and any increase without proper investigation will create a traffic nightmare. Please take into consideration if and when you make this application that when the grandstand burned down, public input was sought and we the taxpaying public did not want this area built on or used. If it is to be used, put more tennis courts in as they would be well used and welcomed. Garry Haas REALITY CHECK I like many other voters was in a quandary when the election was announced. I felt Harper was going to be defeated but saw little difference in the NDP and Liberals. Then because of the long campaign, things started to come into play. Tom Mulcair said in one of his speeches that the tar sands in Alberta are a pariah to the world.
Also in a discussion with the local NDP candidate, Jacqui Gingras, she said she would oppose any pipe lines. For a federal party to come out and directly close off the Prairie provinces to operate is an affront to the thousands of Canadians who work directly and those who work in manufacturing in Ontario and Quebec building structures and equipment. There are thousands of workers from B.C. and the rest of Canada depending on the movement of commodities. Thousands who live in B.C. and work in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Contrary to NDP beliefs, oil will be here a lot longer and will be the saviour of Canada. The provincial NDP made the same mistake in the provincial election announcing days before the election they would not support any pipeline. Political parties have to look at reality and find a way to keep jobs and develop and market our oil. Hal Keating

Check into Cohen’s Chelsea Hotel Firehall Arts Centre brings its nationally acclaimed tribute to Leonard Cohen to Vernon
Morning Star Staff
KrIsTIn FroneMan Morning Star Staff
He is arguably Canada’s greatest living singing poet. The resonant voice of Leonard Cohen has continued to weave its way through the social consciousness of this country and beyond. Starting from when he was a young writer in his native Montreal, to becoming an internationally renowned songwriter performing his own music in his own distinctive voice, Cohen is an enigma. He’s a singular talent that has no match. Both old and new fans of Cohen will be able to enjoy the mastery of his music when Vancouver’s Firehall Art Centre brings its hailed production of Chelsea Hotel – The Songs of Leonard Cohen to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Nov. 18. The second of five shows in the Performing Arts Centre’s theatre series, Chelsea Hotel features six musicians who play 17 different instruments in a rollicking tribute to Cohen’s powerful and inspirational music. The production has received wide acclaim since its premiere in Vancouver in 2012, and has since returned to B.C. from a sold-out national tour. “Chelsea Hotel is one of the most popular productions the Firehall Arts Centre has produced in its history,” said Erin

Chelsea Hotel’s rachel aberle, left, Marlene Ginader and Lauren Bowler perform one of Leonard Cohen’s songs in the Firehall arts Centre’s production of Chelsea Hotel, coming to the Vernon Performing arts Centre nov. 18. Kennedy, artistic director at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. “Its recent tour of Western Canada attracted praise from critics and sold-out audiences at Winnipeg’s Prairie Theatre Exchange and Saskatoon’s Persephone Theatre.” This is the fourth time in the theatre’s 31-year history that a Firehall in-house production has toured around Canada. The show follows a writer, whom, haunted by memories of his tumultuous love life, checks into New York’s infamous Chelsea Hotel desperate to find the words and inspiration for his next song. Wading through past relationships, he reluctantly comes face to face with the love of the present, a love he wishes he
could not just forget, but erase from his memory. Conceived and directed by Tracey Power, the show features a familiar face to this area: Rachel Aberle, who appeared as Persephone in Caravan Farm Theatre’s production of In Like A Lion this past May. She joins Lauren Bowler, Ben Elliott, Marlene Ginader, Jonathan Gould and Steve Charles, who also serves as music director, in the production. Tickets for Chelsea Hotel are $45 for adults, $42 for seniors, and $40 for students. Call the Ticket Seller box office at 250-549-SHOW (7469) or log online to www.ticketseller.ca for tickets and more information.
The Vernon Public Art Gallery is once again exposing the talents of its member artists. The annual members’ exhibition, Exposed!, contains two- and three-dimensional works of art of modest sizes and is a celebration of creativity and local artists, said the gallery’s executive director Dauna Kennedy Grant. “The ambiguous title, Exposed!, is open to interpretation. Artists are free to use the medium of their choice for their artwork, which adds a lovely variety of pieces to the show,” said Kennedy Grant. “The public can look forward to a wide array of artistic expression and execution, as artists explore the theme of this show.” All the art is available for purchase and proceeds support the artist(s) who created the work, with a small percentage going back to support the gallery’s ongoing exhibitions and programming. “This is a fantastic opportunity for the community to support local artists and the Vernon Public Art Gallery while finding unique original artworks to add to your collection,” said Kennedy Grant. “Because the works of art are of a modest size, the prices are reasonable and a great opportunity for art lovers to own or gift an original piece of art.” The opening reception for Exposed! takes place at the VPAG Thursday, Nov. 12 from 6 to 8 p.m. Locally crafted beer, wine and appetizers will be served with live music performed by Marv Machura. “This is an all-ages event. Locals and families are encouraged to join us in celebrating local Okanagan art,” said Kennedy Grant. Exposed! and current exhibitions, Self-Similarity by Carolina Sanchez de Bustamante, and Legends, by the Kama? Aboriginal Arts Creative Collective, can be viewed at the gallery from now until Dec. 23. Admission to the VPAG, located underneath the Vernon parkade at 3228 31st Ave., is by donation.
Toe-tapping gypsy jazz at its joyful best
hat billing (toe-tapping gypsy jazz at its joyful best), describing Christine Tassan et les Imposteures in the North Okanagan Community Concert Association’s program notes, was accurate to the letter. My neighbour wasn’t the only one tapping more than her toes at Sunday’s concert at the Performing Arts Centre. One audience member was heard to remark, in reference to Tassen’s skips across the frets of her acoustic guitar, “She doesn’t have arthritis in those fingers; that’s for sure!” Another comment, maybe more pedestrian but equally emphatic: “That was great fun!” And it was. Sunday’s program featured Tassan on Django Reinhardt-style guitar, Martine Gaumond on Stéphane Christine Pilgrim Grappelli-style violin and Blanche Baillargeon on electric double bass. Baillargeon’s less portable acoustic bass remained in Montreal, as did fourth imposteure, rhythm guitarist LiseAnne Ross, who was unable to accompany the others on their three-week tour of Western Canada. As it was impossible to find a female replacement adept at playing gypsy jazz, un imposteur, conspicuous by his gender, had to be found. So, Ivan Garzón, a Mexican despite his Russian-sounding name, stood in. Whether pronounced “Garrrrthon” (Mexican/Spanish), “Garzzzon” (Russian/French) or “the guy in the red shirt” (Canadian), Garzón blended in perfectly. The fact that he didn’t join the women in their glorious harmonies and delightful dance steps was understandable, but
ConCert review
Christine Pilgrim
Christine Tassan et les Imposteures, bassist Blanche Baillargeon, violinist Martine Gaumond, lead guitarist Tassan, with guest rhythm guitarist Ivan Garzon, put the woman in manouche. it would have been nice to have seen him shine in his own right with perhaps the odd 16-bar solo. Maybe les girls were getting back at les boys for being non-inclusive. Playing gypsy jazz has been, after all, a male preserve. Tassan explained, in winsome French nuance, that when she and les Imposteures (including Lise-Anne Ross) played at the gypsy jazz Festival de Django Reinhardt last year, they were the first females ever to do so. The festival is held each June in Reinhardt’s hometown, Samois-sur-Seine near Fontainebleau, just south of Paris. It began in 1968 and became an annual event in 1984 – a long time to be dominated entirely by male players.
Ironically, there were few Reinhardt/Grappelli arrangements in Sunday’s program and Tassen’s own compositions graced much of it. The first half opened with her Délit de fruite (Hit and Run) and closed with her C’est l’heure de l’apéro (Happy Hour). She also wrote La Mauresque (ode to a cocktail in the south of France), which opened the second half, and Un rom à Cuba when Baillargeon’s long fingers bossa nova-ed along the arm of her fascinating bass instrument and Gaumond’s fingers moved so quickly it was difficult to see them. However, my favourite song of the evening was written by Sting (alias Gordon Sumner). I find the lyrics of his Fragile: “nothing comes from violence; nothing ever could” and “how fragile we are” compelling, particularly when sung with the pure, honest, beautiful simplicity of Tassan, in the company of such versatile musicians as les Imposteures. Their finale, Tzigane (Those Were the Days), described by Tassan as a Russian folk song sung in French with English notes, begged an encore. Les Imposteures obliged with Sweet Georgia Brown. They hardly needed the imaginative stage lighting to enhance their witty outfits, right down to their red toetapping shoes. Student vocalist Jenae Van Gameren also wore red shoes and embraced l’esprit français by opening the evening with a French lament. She will join other talented young artists, of all disciplines, auditioning for NOCCA’s showcase presentation on Jan. 31. Garzón, however, wore black shoes. But, as bassist Baillargeon quipped, he looked cute, and what’s a pair of black shoes in an evening of toe-tapping gypsy jazz at its joyful best?

Take a dip into your history Morning Star Staff
If you’ve always wanted to learn more about your family’s ancestry, the Vernon & District Family History Society is a good place to start. The society is having an open house Saturday at its resource centre at Peace Lutheran Church. For longtime member Ted Hoyte, membership in the society has given him the chance to delve into his family’s long history in the North Okanagan. Hoyte shares the story of his great-grandfather: “Clement Fisher Costerton was born Dec. 22, 1858 at Eye, Suffolk, England, the sixth of 15 children to Charles Fisher and Harriet ( Nayler ) Costerton. “In 1878 he left England on a sailing ship via Cape Horn, South America and arrived at Sapperton (New Westminster) British Columbia. “In 1881 he was working at Yale, B.C. as a clerk for the Hudson’s Bay Co. then during the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway through the Fraser Canyon, he worked as a
clerk for Andrew Onderdonk, the construction contractor for the Port Moody to Savona section. “By the summer of 1885 he was in Spallumcheen, having purchased a half interest in a “general merchant’s” store at Lansdowne (north of Armstrong). The store went out of business when the Shuswap and Okanagan Railway line was built through Armstrong (making it the commercial centre for the area). “In 1888 he moved to Vernon and worked as an insurance and real estate representative — starting his own business, C. F. Costerton Ltd., in 1890. In 1891 he became a licensed Notary Public and also the local agent for Nicholles and Rennouf of Victoria Agricultural machinery and Hardware Co. (the advertisements in the Vernon News for Nicholles and Rennouf Co. only run 1891 to 1894). “In May 1894, Clement (age 36) married Effie Catherine Gibbs (age 19 ), and they had four children — the third one being my grandmother.
Clement Fisher Costerton, in a photo taken about 1885, is the greatgrandfather of Ted Hoyte, a member of the Vernon & District Family History Society, which is hosting an open house Saturday. “He served as an alderman for the City of Vernon from 1905 to 1909 and 1914 to 1918; he was mayor from 1921 to 1923. Clement died July 2, 1930 at Vernon and is buried at Pleasant Valley Cemetery.” If you’d like to learn more
about how to research your own family’s history, drop by the Vernon & District Family History Society’s open house, Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the lower level of Peace Lutheran Church, 1204-30th Ave.; all are welcome.
The blooms are hanging on
W
ith the hour changed over last weekend, it sure makes for short afternoons. I must run on solar power because by late afternoon, my energy has been drained. I understand the bears’ life cycle and I feel like hibernating myself. I still have things to do in the garden but all my potted geraniums are finally in the house. I didn’t see any bugs on them but they all got treatJocelyne Sewell ed with insecticidal soap just to make sure that I would not bring in unwanted pests. I am raking the leaves and bagging them until I can shred them for mulch or compost. I am hoping for fair weather for a bit longer so I can put my garden to bed

completely. Somehow the dill has reseeded itself and is all over the beds. It will die later but in the meantime, I still can use it. The peas are still blooming and producing and I had some raspberries the other day. On the first of each month, I take a count of blooming plants in the garden. Among the herbs, I still have a few flowers on my basil, lemon balm, oregano, borage and going strong, nepitella (flavour cross between oregano and mint). My large rosemary is in bloom and will come in the house when the nights get to minus-four C. Some of the geraniums left in the ground are still blooming. The snapdragons are loving this cool weather and the sweet alyssums are like a carpet on the ground. On the bank, the red valerians are mixing with a sea of California poppies. The rudbeckias are doing great and some sunflowers still have buds on them and lots of seed heads left. The birds are
cleaning them as fast as they can. Here are the rest of them: calendula, campanula bluebell, canna lily, clematis, coreopsis, perennial purple cornflower, corydalis, germander, heuchera, Kenilworth ivy, lineria, Maltese cross, Michaelmas daisy, mirabilis, morning glory, petunia, white phlox, Shirley poppies, roses, sedum Autumn Joy, sweet scented tobacco, vinca and viola. The best show is still the dahlias. I plan to bring the fig trees inside but for now they are in the greenhouse and dormant. My brugmansia (Angel Trumpet) still has 14 open flowers and another 15 to open if the weather permits. This is a tropical plant and it is still outside but protected on the deck. Some of the leaves are getting yellow but I will remove them all when I bring it inside. They are prone to white flies and this way I don’t have to fight it all winter.
Sons of Scotland get ready to celebrate AngelA AArestAd Special to The Morning Star
Nov. 28 is the date for the Sons of Scotland local chapter, Kildonnan Camp #166, to celebrate its annual St. Andrew’s Night with a traditional ceilidh featuring food and dancing. This is our only fundraising event, with money raised set aside for artistic bursaries promoting Scottish arts (Highland dancing, playing bagpipes and drumming) for eligible young people. In July 2015, the Sons of Scotland sent six youth to Silver Star to attend the Piping Hot Summer Drummer Camp. Exciting donated items are available to bid in the silent auctions, all in aid of raising bursary funds. A new part to the evening can see those attending contributing to Camp Kildonnan’s tinned food drive for the food bank, as boxes will be available to
fill with various tinned, canned and boxed food stuffs. As well, a “surprise” bag auction and various other fun games are planned. The evening starts off with a delicious turkey dinner and all the trimmings, followed by live entertainment by the band Kilt 45. Also, on a community-minded note, Kildonnan Camp will be contributing to the Upper Room Mission’s Back Pack Initiative. Members are collecting the necessary items, and filling backpacks to be donated to the program closer to Christmas. Kildonnan Camp is committed to their mandate as a benevolent association, that “pays it forward” by doing good for the community. St. Andrew’s Night is Nov. 28 at the Schubert Centre. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., supper is at 6:30 p.m. Tickets available at Ticket Seller or from a Sons member: $32, no charge for kids under six; For more information, call Chief Terry Muir at 250-542-0437.

Open burning creates smoke
Lavington tradition
Morning Star Staff
Smoke from open burning is visible in the Kamloops Fire Centre. More than 1,665 burn registration numbers have been issued in the Kamloops Fire Centre in recent weeks, which means these burning projects may occur until open fire restrictions come into effect again next spring. “People living near burning operations may see Bernardin and smell smoke during these periods,” said Kayla Pepper,Decorative with the B.C.Mason Wildfire Service.

tilation and the smoke will disperse quickly.” Anyone conducting open burning must comply with the Ministry of Environment’s Waste Management Act and open burning smoke control regulation. Anyone wishing to light a category three open fire must first obtain a burn registration number by calling 1-888-797-1717. “When a member of the public reports smoke, burn registration numbers are used to identify active and compliant burn operations so B.C. Wildfire Service officials can respond appropriately,” said Pepper.

Freestyle club seeks funds Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan residents can rally behind some passionate athletes. The Vernon-based B.C. Freestyle Ski Association is hoping to raise $50,000 by Nov. 28 to support the growth of the sport provincially. “Introducing freestyle skiing to new communities in B.C., coaching development, travel and equipment are some of the key areas this funding will be directed towards,”
“Donations of all sizes are welcome.” — Andrew Clough
said Andrew Clough, B.C. Freestyle executive director. “A portion of your donation will go directly to the high performance team athlete or athletes of your choice. These funds will be used to offset team fees, coaching, training, equipment, and travel
costs to training and competition venues. The cost for our skiers to travel throughout North America to train and compete is sometimes overwhelming for families and can exceed $30,000 per year.” B.C. Freestyle is the key support organization for development of

male and female athletes in moguls, halfpipe and slopestyle skiing. “Although the B.C. Freestyle Ski Association receives provincial grants to operate, it is not enough to cover the total cost of running our non-profit organization,” said Clough. “B.C. Freestyle has been very successful in developing and placing mogul, slopestyle and half-pipe athletes on to the Canadian national team. B.C. Freestyle is asking for the public’s assistance to enhance performance and enable our athletes to reach the next level with their contribution.” To date, the campaign has raised almost $6,000. “Donations of all sizes are welcome. Every dollar counts and small donations of $10 or $20 will add up fast,” said Clough. “For larger supporters, we have partnered with Skevik Skis of Vernon to provide a new pair of skis for contributions of $950 or more. Incentives to donate have also been made available by Eagle Pass Heliski of Revelstoke.” For more information or to donate, go to iSki RallyMe or www.rallyme.com/rallies/1360/iskirallyme

Before darkness fell, the ghoulish and supernatural were spotted departing on a haunted adventure on their bikes in Ellison Provincial Park. The last North Okanagan Cycling Society toonie ride of the year was celebrated a week before Halloween, with 40 people attending the Ghoul Ride. Carved pumpkins and spooky decorations lined the trail that looped through Ellison park. Costumes were encouraged and they ranged from salad fixings to the supernatural. Macaroni and cheese and pumpkin pie awaited the riders return to the parking lot. Throughout the biking season, NOCS organizes up to 20 group rides to encourage members to come together and enjoy local trails. Routes for group rides are hand-picked from trail systems in the provincial parks at Kalamalka, Ellison and Sovereign as well as at Silver Star Mountain Resort. Trails are flagged by the club to give members an idea of the variety of trails available to them. Each group ride is supported by one or more local businesses which provide the post ride snacks. This past season, group rides typically saw upwards of 50 riders varying in age and ability. The Ghoul Ride was the second group ride Coldstream Construction has sponsored this year by providing a post-ride meal. Brian Hammond, owner of Coldstream Construction, is pleased with his sponsorship decision and participation in the sport. “It’s great to see the large turn outs at group rides this year and to experience first hand the difference your contribution is making to the mountain biking community,” said Hammond. Earlier in the day, volunteers from the club put the final touches on a multi-use trail in the Cosens Bay area of Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park. A total of 35 volunteers came equipped with tools in hand to finish a climb trail, which provides an alternate route for bike and foot traffic. Mark Dowhaniuk, NOCS president, was pleased with the turnout for the work party. “Given the late notice that help was needed, I was blown away by the response from volunteers,” he said. “Strength came in numbers and we were able to have the trail raked and packed down in under two hours.” The trail can be accessed in both directions. NOCS plans to premiere a ski film at the Towne Theatre in late November to support future club initiatives.

There was strong community support for Lumby students. The recent drive-thru breakfast held by Charles Bloom Secondary’s Grade 12 class raised $3,800 in two-and-a-half hours. “The proceeds are going towards the safe grad event in May,” said Bill Grahn, one of the organizers. “The students, along with volunteer parents, were kept busy waving their signs and serving breakfast to those who stopped. From the loggers who pulled over with their trucks, the local businesses who placed pre-orders, and the general public heading off to work, a great big thank you for your generous donations and support for our grads.” The event was possible because of businesses who donated food, coffee, and other items. They are Super A Foods, Connect Coffee Shop, Tim Hortons, Fields, Irly Bird Lumber, Monashee Dental, the Lumby Wildlife Club, Kal Tire, JPW Road and Bridge, Save On Foods, Kiss FM, Lumby Valley Times and The Morning Star.

Feng Shui tips for your front door There are many ways to improve the Feng Shui of your home; even … dare I say it … without A Sam! Let us start at your front door, as that is technically the mouth of Qi for your home, and like our physical mouth, what we put into it is important. Follow these simple steps for a good entrance: • Clear away unnecessary items: inside & out • No recycling or garbage stored here • Bright & working lights • Well maintained door & fixtures • Space for people to move and circulate If your main entrance is welcoming, spacious & functional, you and your house can be too! If the approach to your home is an unhappy one, where you trip over the recycling, a reminder of forgotten maintenance, and you are unhappy to enter the door itself ... do I really need to spell this out …? Good Feng Shui is all about enhancing your environment beautifully, and that is easy to achieve, all by yourself!

Q: A:
What does a change in the Bank of Canada Rate do to Mortgages?
There are 3 things to consider when the Bank of Canada Rate changes for your Mortgage, it depends on the type of mortgage you have. Is it Fixed or Variable Rate? Prime Rate Changes – if you have a Variable Rate Mortgage the change in the Bank of Canada overnight rate will affect you. But lenders decide how much of any decrease they will pass on to consumers, if the lender’s prime rate reduces, then your interest rate will reduce and you will pay less interest. Take Advantage and keep your payments the same so you will repay your principal faster. Fixed Rate Mortgages – are not affected by Prime Rate changes. Fixed Rate Mortgages are based upon the Bond Market in Canada, and what investors are being paid for their investments for the same term of your mortgage (5 year Bond Rates will be considered for 5 year fixed Mortgage Rates for example). Variable Rate Mortgage Qualifications is not affected by any Prime Rate change as under the Government Rules you must be qualified for the Mortgage under the Qualifying rate*, which means that your borrowing power will not increase. (*qualify rate is set by the Bank of Canada and posted on their website - it appears that the rate is based upon the average of the 6 Bank posted 5 year rate which is currently 4.64%.) We make mortgages easy, call us to discuss your options today.
Q: A:
I recently had a hearing test. The test shows the “UCL” and some other comfort levels, with numbers ranging between 80 and 92. What does this mean?
Your hearing care practitioner should, as part of your visit, explain what & how these results apply to your hearing. Speech testing, as a part of a hearing test, does a number of things. One, it verifies the pure tone testing. Two, it helps us to understand how a person understands speech. ‘MCL’ is the level at which speech is ‘most comfortable level.’ This is the level at which speech is most comfortable (in most cases from 45 to 70 dB HL). ‘UCL’ is the ‘uncomfortable level.’ This is the level that speech becomes unbearable (in most cases from 85 to 110 dB HL). MCL and UCL are also used in the design of hearing aids to set volume and the maximum level of output a hearing aid will produce.

Q A
Are carpet cleaning coupons that we receive in the mail a better value?
Unfortunately, many people are misled by the coupon promotions that appear to offer carpet or furniture cleaning at deeply discounted rates. These advertised prices are below the operator’s cost to do the job so he/she must try to upsell you on the extras to cover the costs and hopefully make a profit, too. “Extras” are things like sanitizing, deodorizing, protector, stain removal, moving and replacing furniture, etc. Often the focus of these companies is on volume at the expense of quality meaning the faster a job is done, the more jobs that can be done in a day. However, what these “coupon totallers” do not include is what Oxy-Dry® always includes as our standard service! We will include 100% natural sanitizing, deodorizing and dust mite eradication. A protector is always applied and we won’t charge extra for stain removal, moving furniture or pre and/or post vacuuming. You will also get a 30-60 minute dry time, a 30 day warranty and carpets and furniture that stay clean up to 3 times longer. Now that’s value! For honest, professional workmanship, call Oxy-Dry®…your FRESH choice!

Q: A:
Can hypnotherapy help me with my fear of flying?
Hypnosis has helped many people overcome their fear of flying and look forward to and enjoy their flight. It can replace your fears with positive thoughts and feelings of being protected and safe, calm and relaxed. Hypnosis works by reprogramming your subconscious mind and reducing your fear at an unconscious level. Imagine what it would be like to: • Enjoy planning your next out of province or country vacation • Feel relaxed and calm on your way to the airport • Get on a plane feeling comfortable and safe • Enjoy a long flight without concern or panic every time you hear a noise or hit the smallest bit of turbulence Hypnosis can help you achieve all those feelings and more!

Q: A:
I want to install a wood burning stove in my home, is there anything I need to know before I do this?
Yes! There are a number of rules and regulations that must be strictly followed when installing a wood burning stove. First of all, check with your local by-law authorities, as there are some jurisdictions that do not allow wood burning appliances, or have strict guidelines as to what type of appliance you can use, such as high efficiency stove that has a rating recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency. Buying a new stove is always the best choice, and having it professionally installed by a WETT (Wood Energy Technical Training) certified installer, after that the stove must be inspected by a WETT certified inspector and the appropriate paperwork filled out for your insurance company. Installing the stove yourself is discouraged, however if you choose to do it yourself, remember; when in doubt, always ask an expert.

A swarm of South Kamloops Titans team to take down Levi Nicholas of the VSS Panthers in senior boys football Saturday at VSS.
Panthers post threepeat Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Panthers won their third straight Interior Varsity AA Football League title Saturday afternoon by stuffing the South Kamloops Titans 21-7 at Panther Field. Offensive weapon Levi Nicholas put on an MVP-like performance on both sides of the ball, rushing for 185 yards with three TDs. He also had two interceptions. “Big-time players make big-time plays in big-time games,” said Panther head coach Sean Smith. “Levi was that big- time player for us today in a game with the title on the line.” The Panthers scored on their first two drives against the previously unbeaten Titans following a three and out and a fumbled punt return by South Kam. Nicholas scored on rushes of four and
31 yards. “We started out with a bang and got up on them early which proved to be very important down the stretch,” added Smith. “The conditions at Panther Field were not great for passing (thick mud and water) which made it difficult to move the ball when they brought more guys in the box. “Hats off to South Kam. They buckled down and outplayed us for a good portion of the game and battled us hard.” The Panther defence was stout all game holding the Titans to one completion (which resulted in a touchdown). Defensive MVP Ben Hladik, once again, led all VSS tacklers with six to go along with two sacks. Fellow defensive end Josh Hyer contributed four tackles and one sack, while tackle Tyler Riva also

chipped in with four tackles. “We are starting to play as a unit defensively. I thought we had a great game plan coming in and the boys executed it to perfection. We had contributions from every position on defence at key moments that prevented them from scoring (despite playing a lot of the game inside our red zone.” The Titans got on the board midway through the third quarter when quarterback Ben McDonald hit former Vernonite Trey Isaac to close the gap to 14-7. Isaac is 11th in the province with eight receptions for 174 yards and five touchdowns. With time expiring, South Kam threatened to score once again, but key defensive plays by defensve backs Liam Boyd and Zach Hyer shut them down.

Jim Cotter came close to winning his first Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling event championship. Winnipeg’s Mike McEwen ended up capturing his sixth. McEwen defeated Vernon’s Cotter 5-3 in the final of The Masters at the Rath Eastlink Community Centre Sunday in Truro, NS. The final was broadcast live on CBC-TV sports. It was Cotter’s first trip to a GSOC final since finishing runner-up at the 2012 Masters. Cotter, third Ryan Kuhn, second Tyrel Griffith, and lead Rick Sawatsky won the Tour Challenge Tier 2 event in September in Paradise, NL to earn a berth at the Masters. “We’re very happy with the way we played on the weekend,” said Cotter. “The guys played great. Anytime you get to play in a big-time final, it’s only going to make you better.” Cotter opened the final with hammer and drew to the button with his last rock in the first while facing a pair of counters in the four-foot circle to take a 1-0 lead. McEwen made his final throw in two through a port to hit and stick for one, then stole one in the third to take a 2-1 lead after Cotter missed his runback attempt to blank. Cotter held shot stone prior to his last throw and needed a piece of the button for two but it rolled heavy and he took just one to tie it.

Sonics secure volleyball silver Morning Star Staff
The Seaton Sonics claimed silver in the KSS Owls Best of the West Junior Girls Volleyball Tournament, falling 25-18, 25-23 to the Mt. Boucherie Bears in Saturday’s final. Seaton stopped the McMath Wildcats of Richmond in the semifinals, taking Game 3 15-13. Rose Harned was a passing machine and helped key the defence. Setters Callie Hamilton-Gee and Mason Christensen worked tirelessly all weekend to move the ball all over . The Sonics started with victories over Mt. Boucherie (1625,25-17, 15-12) and Pen Hi Lakers (25-14, 25-20). Seaton opened the playoff round by brushing back the Okanagan Mission Huskies 26-24, 25-18. Dana Kievit supplied several huge kills and Ella Odura was serving strong. The Sonics then dispatched the KLO Cougars of Kelowna in straight sets (25-15, 25-14). Power hitter Alyssa Racine was a force to be reckoned with as she sliced the defence with several huge kills throughout the day. Racine was named Seaton’s MVP and a tourney all-star for her incredibly consistent serving, crushing hits and nerves of steel. Gabby Triggs was a serving machine who helped the Sonics score more points during her service than any other rotation. Coaches Jeff Huggins and Kendra Kryszak were very happy
with the poise and intensity that the girls demonstrated. Next up for Seaton will be the North Zone Championships, hosted by Kalamalka on Thursday night. Seaton enters the North Zone Championships as the No. 1 seed and will have a bye into the semi-finals. In other action, the Seaton junior boys had a very good showing of their own at the 16-team junior boys Best of the West. The Sonics started strong with straight-set wins over Pen-Hi (25-20, 25-22) and the host Owls (25-21, 25-18) in power pool play Friday night. Seaton’s only loss in pool play came in a thrilling three-set marathon to eventual bronze-medalist George Elliot Coyotes of Lake Country (22-25, 25-15, 13-15). After finishing first in their power pool, the Sonics bowed in three to Pen-Hi Grade 9s (18-25, 25-12, 13-15). In consolation play on Saturday, Seaton won both matches in straight sets over Constable Neil Bruce and the MEI Grade 9s, finishing ninth overall. The Seaton senior boys, led by all-star power hitter Troy Atkinson, open the George Elliot Coyote Classic Friday in a pool with Langley Christian Lightning and Sa-Hali Sabres of Kamloops. The Sonics, who are coached by Fane Triggs and Dave Roemer, hope to return to the B.Cs after placing 11th last year.
McEwen blanked the fifth and scored a deuce in six to go ahead. Cotter was forced to score in seven facing two counters and hit and stuck for one. McEwen sealed the victory in the eighth and final end, calmly drawing to the four-foot against two Cotter stones. “Obviously we wanted to win, and you want to win those games, but that’s the way it goes,” said Cotter, saying the turning point was the sixth end. “We gave up a deuce there. Anytime you give up a pair to a team like McEwen, one of the best teams in the world, it’s not great. But, we made him throw his last one (rock) for the win.” Cotter’s crew qualified for the playoffs with a 3-1 record and stunned Olympic gold medallist Brad Jacobs, of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., 8-1 in the quarterfinals. The team earned another big win to reach the final defeating Sasaktoon’s Steve Laycock 8-3. The second-place result earned Cotter and company $15,500, and a spot in next month’s Meridian Canadian Open, Dec. 8-13, in Yorkton, Sask. McEwen also finished 3-1 with their lone loss coming against Kevin Koe of Calgary. McEwen beat Reid Carruthers 7-3 in an all-Winnipeg rink quarterfinal match and avenged the loss to Koe with an intense 5-4 victory in the semis. Rachel Homan of Ottawa iced Edmonton’s Val Sweeting 6-4 in the women’s final.

That’s when Nicholas sealed the deal with an 80-yard scamper. “This was a great win for our program and for our Grade 12s, in particular. They played up as Grade 10s and have not lost a league game in three years. We’ve struggled this year with execution and injuries – so it was nice to put together a good team win.” The Panthers close the regular season against the 0-3 Fulton Maroons Friday night (6 p.m.) at the Greater Vernon Athletics Park before hosting the third seed from the Fraser Valley in the opening round of the playoffs.

Royal City rinks rule Morning Star Staff
New Westminster rinks ruled the 15th annual Rick Cotter Memorial Junior Cashspiel Sunday in Vernon. Matthew McCrady of the Royal City Club took his first overall win on the Junior Tour by icing Daniel Wenzek of Langley 8-0 in the boys final. McCrady pocketed $2,000. The points could bring McCrady, from the Royal City Curling Club, a step closer to qualifying for the 2016 Tim Hortons BC Junior Curling Championships. But Team McCrady, with third Zac Curtis, second Liam Purgavie and lead Jacob Umbach, have an uphill battle. Team Wenzek, with third Jordan Tardi and second Nicholas Meister, are still leading the junior men’s Tour. They were playing with three at the Vernon event, because regular skip Tyler Tardi was not available. Playing with four, the team won the first two events. The teams with the most points at the end of the Junior Tour get an automatic berth to the B.C. championships. S a r a h Daniels, meanwhile, complet-

ed a hat-trick of Tour victories, with her team of third Dezaray Hawes, second Marika Van Osch and lead Megan Daniels. The Royal City girls went unbeaten in Vernon, bouncing Corryn Brown of Kamloops 8-4 in the final. Daniels also earned $2,000. Brown, third Erin Pincott, second Samantha Fisher and lead Sydney Fraser, also had a perfect record ahead of the final, winning all of their pool games and beating Korea’s Team Ha 6-4 in the semis.

club was outshot by the hosts 43-27. “We’re playing a very good hockey team in Osoyoos, a well-oiled machine, one of the best teams in the league. If we don’t come ready to compete as a group, we don’t have a chance to win. Everybody has to come with a high level of compete and be ready to stick their nose in and put the body on the line and do the things we talk about in our game plan, or we don’t have a chance. “That’s what happened in the first period Sunday. We made a couple of adjustments, had a talk to the group about it and we outscored them 1-0 in the second period. We made one mistake in the third, they make it 4-1 and the game’s over. We just ran out of gas.” Tristan Quiring helped the Knights earn a single point at home Saturday, stopping 50 of 53 shots to earn game star honours. The Nitehawks outshot North Okanagan 53-20, but it was the Knights who jumped out to a 3-1 lead after 20 minutes on two goals from Mitchell Cobbett (2nd and 3rd) and one from Cameron Welch (2nd). Beaver Valley got power play goals in the first and second periods from game star Tyler Ghirardosi before Dylan Heppler tied the contest two minutes into the final frame. “We blocked 29 shots in that game and I think of their 53 shots, about 30 of them were from the outside,” said Perrier. The Knights sit one point ahead of fifth-place Princeton with the Posse holding two games in hand, and trail the third-place Summerland Steam by eight points. North Okanagan visits the Chase Heat (10-7-10) Friday before entertaining the 100 Mile House Wranglers (12-4-0-1) Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at Nor-Val. Meanwhile, forward Blaine Caton has left the Knights to join the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League’s Humboldt Broncos. Caton, from Vernon, appeared in eight games with the Knights this season, picking up two goals and four points. He was a late cut of the BCHL Vernon Vipers.

Bridge by Phillip Alder DO YOU SEE THE EXTRA CHANCE? Harry Ruby, a composer and screenwriter who is in the Songwriters Hall of Fame, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Living in California adds 10 years to a manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. And those extra 10 years Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to spend in New York.â&#x20AC;? In bridge, whether you live on the West Coast, the East Coast, or somewhere in between, you will often be looking for an extra trick. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plunge immediately; look at all four suits. In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deal, South is in three no-trump. What should he do after West leads the heart jack? Southâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-no-trump rebid showed a good 22 to 24 points.
Declarer starts with six top tricks: one spade, three hearts and two diamonds. He could hope that the defender with the club ace has it either singleton or doubleton, or has never heard of the holdup play. But the odds favor that aceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not appearing until the third round of the suit. Then what chance for a ninth trick does South have? He will need two spade winners. If that suit is 3-3, there will be no problems, but that is unlikely. What should declarer do? At trick two, South should lead a low spade from his hand. A defender takes the trick and returns a heart. Declarer wins and cashes the spade ace, happy to see West drop the king. Then
South leads his club queen and continues with another club. When he takes that trick on the board, he leads a spade toward his jack for his ninth winner. The curious may work out how the defenders can defeat the contract if South leads the club queen at trick two, then ducks a spade.

PLAN NUMBER 5-3-681
ONE-LEVEL LIVING
O
ne-level living is the idea with this compact bungalow, which easily compensates for its lack of a basement with a clever main-floor plan that makes use of every inch of space. The covered entry leads into a foyer with a den (or third bedroom) to the left and a coat closet to the right. Beyond the foyer and past a display case/ wine rack are the kitchen and dining area, with the great room overlooking the back garden. French doors in the great room open onto a terrace, and natural light will flood through windows in the dining area and over the kitchen sink. The kitchen includes a handy prep island with a three-seat eating bar, as well as a pantry and generous counter space. The master suite also overlooks the back garden, and includes an en-suite bathroom with an oval soaker tub, as well as a
walk-in closet. The second bedroom, tucked in betwixt the master suite, the laundry room and the double garage, will share a threepiece bath with the third bedroom or den, which features closet space as well as a built-in desk that would make it ideal for a home office. The laundry room features a bench and a wall of coat hooks, as well as access to the double garage. The linen closet is located nearby. Should a basement be desired, included are plans for an optional stairway. Exterior finishes include horizontal siding with decorative accents in the three gables, as well as partly mullioned windows and an ornamental garage door. Brick accents and a wooden pilaster near the front door lend this home the charm of a cottage. This home measures 35 feet wide and 52 feet deep,
for a total of 1,298 square feet. Plans for design 5-3-681 are available for $625 (set of 5), $710(set of 8) and
$778 for a super set of 10. B.C. residents add 7% Prov. Sales Tax. Also add $35.00 for Priority courier charges within B.C.
or $65.00 outside of B.C. Please add 5% G.S.T. or 13% H.S.T. (where applicable) to both the plan price and postage charges.
Our NEW 47th Edition of the Home Plan Catalogue containing over 400 plans is available for $15.50 (includes taxes, postage and handling).
