Suspects behind slide sought RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

The search is on for those individuals who may have triggered a massive slide and flood. Ministry of Forests natural resource officers are seeking the public’s help to find those responsible for tampering with culverts at Dale Lake, which led to a debris flood down Cooke Creek, east of Enderby, in May 2014. “We’re just thankful there were no injuries or loss of life,” said Patrick Tobin, compliance and enforcement branch manager. The debris washed down the creek roared into the Shuswap River and caused extensive damage to the Kingfisher

Interpretive Centre. Mabel Lake Road was also wiped out, cutting off access to the Kingfisher community for a few days. Natural resource officers would like to speak to anyone who may know the people responsible for the tampering, or anyone who observed suspicious people or vehicles at Dale Lake prior to May 2, 2014. Tobin’s office has been working on the case since the slide occurred. “It was a fairly complex investigation,” he said, adding that about 26 people were interviewed. “We have come to an impasse (in the investigation). We hope to generate a buzz in the community.” Anyone found guilty of causing environmental damage as a result of tamper-

ing with culverts on Crown land may be subject to prosecution under the Forest and Range Practices Act. They can be ticketed $575 or fined up to $100,000 and one year in jail. Residents with information about the Cooke Creek incident can call 1-844-6768477 or go to www.for.gov.bc.ca/hen/nrv/ report.htm. Reports can be anonymous. It’s not known why someone may have tampered with the culvert, although there is some speculation that it may have been to keep the level of Dale Lake high. “Tampering with culverts can create public safety hazards, pose health risks to people, cause environmental damage and destroy fish and wildlife habitat,” states the ministry.

Enderby targets improved safety

Ready FoR WinteR

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Law enforcement and city officials are vowing to work together to keep Enderby safe. Council has met with Cpl. Todd Bowden, the new officer in charge of the Enderby detachment. “We are building on strengthening our relationship with the RCMP,” said Coun. Roxanne Davyduke. Bowden brought the city up to speed on his detachment’s priorities in terms of being proactive in the community. “Council was impressed with how the initiatives are going,” said Mayor Greg McCune. Davyduke That view is also held by Davyduke. “Our concerns are being addressed,” she said. However, McCune admits that the police, the city and all residents must remain vigilant when it comes to crime and new programs like community watch are important. “Things are going in the right direction but we will continue to work closely with the RCMP,” he said. The community watch program is being promoted among businesses downtown and people who regularly use the River Walk. The goal is to have residents report criminal activity or suspicious behaviour. Phone numbers for the RCMP and Crime Stoppers will be available on signs and door and window stickers.

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

A court case involving Vernon’s mayor continues. Akbal Mund’s lawyer appeared in court Thursday but the charges of failing to comply with the Income Tax Act have been put over until Dec. 17. “My lawyer hasn’t heard back from the Canada Revenue Agency,” said Mund of the reason behind the delay. The allegations are related to 2012 and 2013, and do not involve Mund’s personal taxes but a company that he used to pay himself a salary when he was a partner with Wendy’s. Mund has previously stated that the charges are related to not filing proper paperwork, and that he did pay his taxes.

RCMP are asking for the public’s assistance following vandalism at Vernon Teach and Learn on 30th Avenue Sunday evening.

Suspects sought Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

Vernon RCMP are investigating vandalism at a downtown business. On Sunday at about 9 p.m., four people went to the front of Vernon Teach and Learn on 30th Avenue. “They caused extensive damage to the holiday displays the store had put up, as well as the lighting on the front of the store and the roof,” said Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy, with the RCMP. “Store video surveillance shows two males and two females, who all appear to be youths, causing the damage. One of the males had a distinctive striped bag slung across his chest.” Vernon Teach and Learn owner Lynella Henke says this isn’t the first incident at the store. “It’s our third time this fall we’ve been hit,” she said. The latest act of vandalism was particularly discouraging due to the amount of time and effort put into the display. “It’s something that the girls spent hours doing.” Anyone with information is asked to call the RCMP at 250-545-7171 or Crime Stoppers.

A large Enderby business has overcome another hurdle in its bid to expand. The Regional District of North Okanagan has approved numerous variances for construction at the North Enderby Timber site on Highway 97A. “They are a larger employer,” said Denis Delisle, rural Enderby alternate director. “They are an existing business and a lot of the bylaws were brought in after they began operation and it doesn’t fit with what they are doing.” The variances include reducing the front yard setback of the log yard, waiving the requirements to screen the log yard, reducing the rear yard setback of the dry kiln and waiving the requirement that off-street parking be paved and curbed. However, the variances will only be issued if certain conditions are followed. The conditions include provision of 82 gravel parking spaces, screening of a portion of the outside storage area and a buffer between the property and agricultural land to the north. Greg McCune, Enderby director, is pleased the RDNO board has allowed North Enderby Timber to proceed. “They are great corporate citizens and this is another step towards them operating more efficiently,” he said.

Debate erupts over Oyama park RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

An Oyama park is the source of a difference of opinions. Lake Country council has passed a motion asking the Regional District of Central Okanagan to keep Kaloya Regional Park open year-round, while RDCO insists the park is not shut down over winter.

“They have not changed signage. I introduced the motion to try and ensure it becomes policy,” said Owen Dickie, a Lake Country councillor. However, RDCO states that policies have been reviewed and most regional parks are now open year-round, with limited maintenance and services through the late fall and winter.

“Kaloya is one of those regional parks,” said Bruce Smith, RDCO communications officer. “Reiswig Regional Park and Okanagan Centre Safe Harbour Regional Park in Lake Country are also now open year-round with reduced winter services. Kopje Regional Park will remain open until there’s snow, but

will close then as the parking lot will not be plowed.” Dickie says Kaloya is popular with people who want to walk and enjoy the outdoors at all times of the year. “It’s a recreational facility and should be open all year-round.” Dickie says there

are other reasons to keep the gate to Kaloya Regional Park open. “There’s no real turnaround space at the end of Trask Road (when the parking lot is off limits) so snow plows and garbage trucks have to back up along Trask and that’s not safe,” he said.

An individual is in custody after allegedly breaking into a Vernon residence. A 30th Avenue homeowner phoned the RCMP when she came home at about 7:30 a.m. and found a man in her house Monday. “He had collected some of her property and also made himself

something to eat,” said Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy, with the RCMP. “The man fled the residence but was located and arrested a short time later.” A 34-year-old Vernon man was scheduled to appear in provincial court Tuesday. Police have recommended charges of break and enter and possession of stolen property.

Officers seize drugs, money Morning Star Staff

A 26-year-old Vernon man was an easy catch recently for officers of the North Okanagan Traffic Services section. The officers were travelling east on Highway 6 in Vernon when they smelled a strong odour of marijuana. They quickly determined that it was coming from the vehicle in front of them, which also had expired validation tags on its licence plate.

“Police stopped the vehicle and investigated further,” said Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy. “The lone occupant was arrested for possession of a controlled substance. He failed the sobriety testing and was issued a 24-hour suspension of his driver’s licence.” A large amount of money was found in the vehicle and has been seized as proceeds of crime, according to the police.

This is why the Swiss manufacturer Phonak has developed a world first: Virto V. These hearing aids are manu factured using a modern 3D printing process that provides a customfit miniature hearing aid that disappears into the ear canal, making it almost invisible to others. Despite its small size, the latest and most advanced Phonak hearing technology is still contained in the casing.

“Thanks to a new operating system, these new hearing aids can provide a virtual alternative for natural hearing, as experienced by people with normal hearing. Through intelligent control, the software can improve speech under standing, even in loud situations and by utilizing the 3D printing process, these hearing aids fit the natural anatomy of the ear as closely as possible making them truly a customfit solution.

For some clients, the smaller design of the Virto V hearing aids might possibly replace the more traditional behindtheear hearing aids, and like many of our other products, these hearing aids can easily connect wirelessly with TVs and smartphones,” explains Prof. Stefan Launer, CSO of the Swiss manufacturer Phonak.

There are many reasons for this but for most people it’s that they are not convinced that hearing aids will significantly benefit them or it’s the unease they feel about attracting atten tion by wearing a visible hearing aid.

Does the Virto V Replace Traditional Hearing Aids? Whether at work, during conversations in small groups or when watching television, one in six adults experience problems when it comes to accurate speech comprehension and hearing in everyday situations. Although background noise and music can impair communication with friends and family, two thirds of those affected still do not use any hearing aids.

A story of survival

lthough I have never starved for food or lived without a roof over my head, I have known those who have. In the early-’80s, my friend was kicked out of her home for the fact her divorced parents simply couldn’t care for her anymore. She was 14. There were no cell phones back then, so the months would pass before I’d hear from her. When she’d call, via a pay phone, my parents and I would offer to take her in for a meal, a respite from whatever was out there, which wasn’t much. At that time, my friend was sleeping in Kristin Froneman a “squat,” actually an abandoned warehouse near the upscale Yorkville area of Toronto. There, she and other abandoned and lost kids kept warm by huddling under torn-up blankets. The only light was the flicker of candles burning. It was a creepy place. It was there where I met a guy everyone called “Riff.” He was about 18 and came from a background of violence and trauma. Like most street kids, he had been hit by addiction, living a life ruled by a dirty needle or a huffed bag of industrial glue. His glazed and sunken eyes were a trigger of the disease that had taken hold, but he was still young and strong - menacing almost. Like many homeless people, he could not afford an education, a shower, or clean clothes, hence, employment was not available to him. He had managed to avoid social service agencies for years for the fear he would be placed in a group home. He survived by panhandling, competing for coins while sitting huddled on the sidewalk, usually near a grate where warm air from the subway below would serve as a salvage from the biting wind.

AT RANDOM

For food, he would join the other homeless by going on bread runs at 4 a.m., looking for any spare nourishment in the alleyways when bakeries and restaurants were usually off-loading their goods. It was a harsh life, some survived, others weren’t so lucky. Fast forward 13 years later. While I was a student in Victoria, I was assigned to write a story about the upcoming civic election. I chose to interview one candidate’s take on the city bylaw which prevented aggressive panhandling. One of the rules was to have panhandlers sit six feet away from any business or store front. To get a balanced view, I decided to get a panhandler’s take on the bylaw, so I approached a man I had seen on a street near where I lived. He was hunched over, and when he looked up, he gave me a toothless grin just as someone tossed him an apple. He told me his name was Sean. He looked so familiar, and after scrutinizing his face and asking him a few questions about his past, I figured it out. He was Riff. He remembered my friend, and smiled weakly when I told him that she was now safe and sound – a mother of two boys. Riff had made his way west to escape the cold and the overcrowded streets of Toronto. He had worked odd jobs, mostly labour, but Hepatitis B prevented him from steady employment. He was clean from drugs, except for the medicine now saving his liver. He was still living in shelters; still on the streets begging to survive. Still broken. The moral of this, if there even is one, is that you never know the story behind that person who is out there on the sidewalk asking for spare change. In my own experience, you can’t save everyone, but you can hear their stories, acknowledge their presence, and recognize that not everyone chooses that way of life. My friend may have escaped, but Riff could still be out there. He could be dead. I’m still looking.

Social media, in case you haven’t yet noticed, has erupted over whether Canada should be taking in 25,000 Syrian refugees. Lightning rod issues have a tendency to attract the best and worst in us, be it reasoned debate or ill-informed, shallow, name-calling and just stupid comments. No matter where you land on this deeply polarizing issue – be it that Canada is morally beholden to accept the refugees, or that we are foolishly courting danger by welcoming them in – there are two certainties that must be kept in mind. The first being, they are coming. The newly elected federal government has decided to make it so, and make it so, it will. Secondly, and most importantly, we need to remember that these refugees are flesh and blood people, just like even the most selfrighteous amongst us on either side of the debate. And as such, they must be afforded every dignity as members of the human family. They are fathers, mothers, sons and daughters. Not statistics, and certainly not “Them.” A civilized society, that takes pride in its Charter of Rights and Freedoms, can do no less. The spotlight, then, is on the federal government to make sure these refugees, once they arrive, are properly supported with the same care in which all Canadians are governed. The onus is also on the media to hold the government true to this task in the months and years to come. Novelist George Elliot (Mary Ann Evans) wrote that “The responsibility of tolerance lies with those who have the wider vision.” She wrote this well over a century ago, but her words still apply today. Are we wrong or right in welcoming the Syrian refugees into our fold? History will tell. In the meantime, how we choose to conduct ourselves as individuals, in response, is everything. — The Now

An unfortunate pattern

see in some promotional material for the twinning of Kal Tire Place that lands to the west of the present facility are currently unavailable. Underlying this bland statement is a way of conducting the public’s business that is truly sad. For years, many politicians and municipal administrators in the Greater Vernon area have operated on the basis that kicking the can down the road is a perfectly respectable way of dealing with the area’s issues and needs. Twinning to the west of Kal Tire Place may or may not be the best solution, but the reason the lands to the west are unavailable is not due to some unforeseen and unassailable act of God. The land is unavailable because a group of local officials decided they would rather not conclude the outstanding legal issues that began in 2010 with the Okanagan Equestrian Society. In fact, the Regional District of North Okanagan and the City of Vernon agreed in February of 2013 to put the whole matter on hold because the city and the region were preoccupied with other matters. VOTE YES I am voting yes for the ice rink, even though I am a senior citizen and haven't skated since I was about eightyears-old. I don't have grandchildren who might use this facility either. So why am I voting yes? Because a facility like this is a community benefit. So is the new track, and the new library. I also hope people will vote yes for a new art gallery and museum, when those institutions come to us for money. A few extra dollars in our individual pockets, thanks to lower taxes, will allow us to buy more things for ourselves. However, those same few dollars, pooled together, will allow us as a community to build these wonderful amenities, not just for us, but for our

It was only in 2015 that Vernon city council woke up to the need to resolve the matter. By then it was too late. The same thing is happening with respect to the western bypass. In August of this year, most members of Vernon city council voted against adding a site-specific western bypass to the city’s 25-year master transportation plan. Too risky a decision: punt it. Some councillors worried about property values, and others said we shouldn’t identify the route before we need it. neighbours, fellow citizens and fellow taxpayers. Let's start thinking of the common good instead of, "What's good for me." Maxine Glover NOT IMPRESSED Your attempt to have a new ice surface in Kal Tire Place is totally ridiculous. Also giving the BX an opportunity to cast a vote is contempt. My taxes are about $2,800 per year in Vernon, while most taxes in the BX area are about $500 per year or less. And they are voting, you call this democracy? Where are you all coming from? A recession is a period in which you tighten your belt. In a depression, you have no belt to tighten I urge all seniors to get out and vote

Really? Is it really in the best interests of Greater Vernon to wait until time has eliminated choices or made routing options orders-ofmagnitude more costly for future taxpayers? I don’t think so. Those who believe that we needn’t plan for the long-term have only to look at the mess with the master water plan. Over many decades, a variety of special interests have been accommodated by local officials and municipal politicians only too anxious to avoid conflict while dealing on this referendum. Your rent and taxes will be rising if you don't. The Civic Arena, come on. If you want ice rinks, go up to Silver Star. I'm certain they can make outdoor rinks to play on. If that's not sufficient, move to Saskatchewan or Manitoba. We have a dinosaur just completed up by the college on the highway. In closing, I am not impressed with The Morning Star giving all of the ink to the rink. J.A. Kitchen STICKLE ROAD After a nerve-racking experience turning left off of Stickle Road, I thought I should pass on my thoughts. On a recent trip to Kamloops, I counted the traffic lights going through Valleyview, on the east side

with day-to-day problems. Poor decisions, combined with a reluctance to make decisions at all, have been allowed to pile up, one on top of another, because we have been led to believe that good enough is fine for Greater Vernon. We’re told we can’t expect to do what’s best for the future of our community on the water issue because the baggage of the past weighs too heavily. Just accept that and move on down whatever suboptimal pathway is available, they say. So, we see a pattern here. A racetrack. A bypass. A water system. All too often, our municipal politicians settle for the expedient, short-term decision. Better yet, they happily make no decision, failing to see that not making a decision today is, in effect, making a decision that will have consequences in later years. What we need, indeed, what we should be demanding, are local politicians who see planning for the long-term benefit of Greater Vernon as a priority and who are held accountable for the futurity of decisions they make today. Roy A. Derrick of Kamloops on the Trans-Canada Highway. In about a five-kilometre section from Highway 5N heading east, the speed limit is lowered to 80 kilometres and there are six traffic light controlled intersections, three of which are T-intersections. From this, I conclude that the traffic flow on Highway 97 out of Vernon is far more important than that in Kamloops on the Trans-Canada Highway. So, Premier Clark and Mr. Foster, you might want to think long and hard of what you are going to say after the next bad accident at Stickle Road. If it is the cost of a traffic light that is the problem, there is a light with flashing ambers at the Armstrong interchange northbound on Highway 97 that is green all of the time. John Zucco

Turnout strong for vote Morning Star Staff

Plans for a second ice sheet in Greater Vernon are generating considerable interest. A total of 1,112 people voted in Wednesday’s advance poll, with residents being asked to borrow $13.2 million to twin Kal Tire Place. Of the 1,112 ballots, 186 voted at the Regional District of North Okanagan office, 736 at Vernon city hall and 190 at the Coldstream municipal office. The other advance poll will be Nov. 25 at the same three offices from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. while general referendum day is Nov. 28. “Qualified electors within Vernon, Coldstream and Areas B and C may vote at any of the voting locations,” said Paddy Juniper, with RDNO.

Smoke alarms issued Morning Star Staff

Vernon firefighters are going door to door to promote safety. Firefighters will donate their time at Vernon Mobile Home Park to encourage residents to test their smoke alarms and replace their batteries Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The firefighters will also replace old smoke alarms or install a new one if the resident doesn’t have one. All testing and installation will be done at no cost to homeowners. “Almost 70 per cent of houses that caught fire in B.C. didn’t have a functioning smoke alarm,” said Keith Green, Vernon fire chief. “Children and the elderly face the highest risk of dying in a residential fire. We want to do our part to eliminate that risk.” Working smoke alarms could reduce annual fire deaths in B.C. by 32 per cent. The smoke alarms are donated by Silver Star Rotary Club, Okanagan Restoration and Johnston Meier Insurance Agencies Group.

Downtown Vernon is embracing holiday traditions with a new twist. Wh i l e t he Downtown Vernon Christmas Light Up has previously been held on a Friday evening, it shifts this year to Nov. 28, a Saturday, from 1 to 6 p.m. “We’ve changed the date of the Light Up to allow more busi-

Dr. Marvin Krank speaks to parents and youth about drugs at Vernon Secondary School. Close to 100 people attended the session.

While parents often feel like the teacher in Charlie Brown when they’re talking to their teens, the truth is that what they say matters. And kids are listening. Sure, they might glaze over after the tenth time you’ve asked them to clean their room this week, but when it comes to drugs and alcohol, they are listening. “What you say and do matters,” said Dr. Marvin Krank, who recently gave a public presentation at Vernon Secondary School titled Talking To Your Kids About Drugs. A professor of psychology, Krank’s research focuses on the development of substance abuse in teens and young adults. Over the past 20 years, he has studied the unrealistic thoughts and beliefs held by youth that lead to risky substance use and he will share that evidence at the presentation. Along with being a good role model, Krank urges parents to set clear expectations. That means setting no use expectations, not telling kids that it’s OK to have a little. “When we say that, all they hear is marijuana and alcohol are OK,” said Doug Rogers, substance abuse prevention counsellor for the Vernon School District. “The mixed messages are really tough for kids. “Things need to be very clear for kids.” Things have changed in the past decade with increased knowledge around how a parent’s relaxed rules can impact a youth’s behaviour. “Now we know through research that the messaging we give to kids is ‘they’re allowed to use,’” said Rogers of any accepted drug or alcohol use. “We also know that the earlier kids start the more likely they are to continue into adulthood.” Along with setting clear expectations, Krank reminds parents: “We need to tell them more than what not to do.” He offers seven rules: 1. Model low risk use 2. Set clear no substance use expectations 3. Monitor: Ask about where they are going, who they are going with and what they are going to do 4. Be supportive; listen and empathize 5. Ask questions about the risks 6. Encourage healthy alternatives 7. Accept mistakes as learning experiences “Contrary to appearances, they need you more than ever,” said Krank. Rogers is pleased with the turnout of the recent presentation, with close to 100 parents, students and teachers attending. “It was outstanding. A lot of families came and the kids were listening because it’s always nice to hear from someone different than your parents.”

Members of the former Okanagan Landing Fire Department continue to serve the community. As part of its dissolution, the group has left $25,000 to the Okanagan Landing Community Association. “This donation has made it possible to replace all of the flooring in Paddlewheel Park Hall after 15 years of many shuffling feet dancing to the music at one of the weddings or other celebrations which keep the hall filled with good cheer and laughter,” said Val Heuman, with the community association. “It is with great pride and appreciation that the members of that community association recognize these dedicated and broad-thinking individuals which they are delighted to call their neighbours.” The relationship between the community association and the firefighters is a long one. In 1999, members of the Landing department rushed from their beds in the middle of a February winter night to fight the huge fire that consumed the original hall. “When the call went out to the community to join the fundraising campaign to build a new community hall, the volunteer fire department was quick to respond with a substantial financial donation,” said Heuman.

‘Roo farm expands parking KEVIN PARNELL

There is some relief coming in the form of more parking spots near the Kangaroo Creek Farm in Lake Country for next year. But it’s going to cost the owners of the farm around $30,000 to renovate a parking lot and lease it from the district next year as well as about $15,000 in each of following two years. The Kangaroo Creek Farm and the District of Lake Country have entered into a lease agreement for the parking lot at the corner of Main Street and Hill Road in downtown Winfield to create at least 28 parking stalls, the number required of the farm according to bylaws. Costs to renovate the now-vacant lot will be handled by Kangaroo Creek at an estimated cost of $15,000, said owner Caroline MacPherson. The lease agreement, she said, will cost the farm $15,000 in each of the three years on top of the dollar amount to get the parking lot up to grade. Parking at the farm had become an issue due to its phenomenal growth since it opened in 2012. Close to 100,000 visitors travelled Kangaroo Creek this year, with the majority coming in July and August. Many people parked in businesses around the area and along Main Street but district bylaws call for businesses to have their own dedicated lot. MacPherson says while it’s going to cost them a significant

“It means we are here for the foreseeable future.” — Caroline MacPherson

amount, she’s hopeful it eases concerns of anyone who thinks parking was an issue. “I think it’s positive,” she said. “We should be able to get at least 30 cars in there and because those spots will be closer to us than the parking lot at the A&W or Coopers or the professional building, then hopefully that will fill up first and will take the pressure off surrounding businesses. Hopefully this will satisfy the district and satisfy those people who are concerned about parking. And it means we are here for the foreseeable future.” Now closed for the season until spring break of 2016, the Kangaroo Creek Farm has exploded in popularity to become known worldwide and become one of the busiest tourist attractions in the Okanagan Valley. This year, visitor numbers jumped again, continuing a trend that began after the farm opened in 2012 with about 30,000 visitors. According to MacPherson, each year the number of visitors to the farm have increased by about one-and-ahalf times the previous year. The increase in traffic both in vehicles and on foot has caused a ripple effect, prompting the agreement to open up the parking lot and also leading the farm to charge a fee this

past summer for the first time, moving away from its admission by donation business. MacPherson said an expected increase in traffic next year will likely offset the costs associated with the

new parking lot and added she is continually amazed at the popularity of the venture. “It’s gotten to the point where the farm is a bit of a phenomenon, it’s almost a force unto itself,” she said, noting if the growth in visitors continues over the next two years, they may have to further increase admission, especially in July and August when visitors are close to 90 per cent tourists.

Scholarships help local students move Morning Star Staff

BANNISTER HONDA “A Family Business, with Family Values ” bannisterhonda.com

Six North Okanagan students are among the 91 students who have earned Ike Barber Transfer Scholarships worth $5,000 each to assist them in moving between B.C. post-secondary institutions

This week’s HOT FLYER PICKS

in 2015. The scholarships are awarded annually by the Irving K. Barber B.C. Scholarship Society to undergraduate students who have completed at least one year at a public post-secondary institution in B.C. and are transferring to another degree-granting institution to complete their studies. Scholarship funds come from the returns on a $15 million endowment established by the province in 2006. The fund is named after philanthropist Irving K. Barber who had a long history of supporting public education and research projects before his death in 2012. “The Irving K. Barber transfer scholarships support students by recognizing not only aca-

demic success, but also a commitment to improving their communities through volunteer work,” said Advanced Education Minister Andrew Wilkinson. “This funding helps students to focus on realizing their career goals and to participate in our thriving post-secondary education system in British Columbia.” Enderby’s Erica Baker and Hanna Brookes are recipients, and are both transferring from Okanagan College to the University of B.C.’s Okanagan campus. Grindrod’s Leif Saba is a recipient on his move from OC to the University of Victoria. Three Vernon students also transferring from OC to UBC-O. Earning the scholarship are Marisa Berg, Gabriella Carr (Bright) and Sierra Krog. To qualify for a transfer scholarship, students must have strong grades and demonstrated volunteer service to their school and/or community. “The transfer scholarship program was initially established to support Ike Barber’s vision that more students could pursue higher education if they could commence their studies locally Complimentary and transfer when necessary to complete patient Parking their particular degree objective. Doing this, Street, Vernon BC, V1T 4X7 students could avoid initial social disruption and higher costs associated with moving from their home communities to commence a degree program,” said Hugh Gordon, society chairperson. The Irving K. Barber B.C. Scholarship Society offers scholarship and education award programs that support B.C. students attending public postsecondary institutions. The society recently announced expanded scholarship and award programs for aboriginal students studying at the masters and doctoral level. Since 2006, the society has awarded more than $9 million in scholarships to thousands of B.C. students. The society’s programs are administered by the Victoria Foundation.

Okanagan Regional Library is inviting artists and graphic designers of all ages to submit their ideas for new library cards for the regional system. Four winning designs will be chosen and printed, with each designer receiving a $100 cash prize. The current library cards haven’t been substantially updated in 30 years. “I heard one ORL member say she outlined her card in fluorescent marker so it was easy to spot because it was the most valuable thing in her wallet,” said Marla O’Brien, public relations manager. “We’ve been wanting to update the cards for a while and could never come up with the right design. Then one of our board members suggested holding a contest to invite people to submit their own concepts.” Entries can be either handmade or digital, and have to be submitted by Jan. 4. Full contest details and entry forms are available at any of ORL’s 29 branches or at www. orl.bc.ca/cardcontest.

LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR

Hunter Zandee of the Vernon Vipers braces himself for a hit from Henry Cleghorn of the Merritt Centennials in B.C. Hockey League action Wednesday night at Kal Tire Place.

Powerplay goal lifts Vipers Morning Star Staff

The last powerplay chance paid off for the Vernon Vipers. Defenceman Latrell Charleson’s shot at 15:36 of the third period – with Merritt forward Zachary Zorn in the penalty box for goaltender interference – snapped a 3-3 tie and lifted the Vipers to a 5-3 B.C. Hockey League win over the Centennials in front of 1,523 fans at Kal Tire Place Wednesday. Vernon (12-12-0-1) visits the West Kelowna Warriors (13-8-0-2) tonight and host the Alberni Valley Bulldogs (9-111-1) Sunday at 2 p.m. at Kal Tire Place. “I thought there were mistakes made by both teams, but that’s junior hockey in general,” said Vipers head coach Mark Ferner. “We fought hard to get the lead then gave it right back. “Latrell jumped in, took a nice pass from Jags (Jagger Williamson) and he’s a pretty skilled guy for a big guy. His shot beat Kehler over the blocker.” The Vipers had been 0-5 with the man advantage prior

to Charleson’s third goal of the season. Liam Finlay’s second goal of the game, his 10th of the year, into an empty net at 19:03 capped a wild third period which saw the teams erupt for six goals. C o l i n Grannary opened the scoring at 18:50 of the first, giving the Centennials (8-17-0-2) a lead that would last a total of less than two minutes. Defenceman Griffin James, with his third of the year, tied the game for the Vipers with the only goal of the middle frame 56 seconds into the period on a setup from captain Colton McCarthy. Zorn gave Merritt a 2-1 lead at 3:29 of the third before second star Finlay, from first star Jagger Williamson and third star Christian Cakebread at 5:09, and Cakebread, with his second

from Williamson and Finlay, at 8:47, gave Vernon its first lead of the night. Williamson finished with three helpers. G a v i n Gould equalized on a powerplay for the Centennials at 11:33. Vernon product Brett Jewell drew an assist. “The third period has been our best period and we were flying tonight,” said Williamson, reunited with Finlay on a line with Cakebread which combined for nine points Wednesday. “Our line was clicking. I played with Liam last year and he’s a fun guy to play with.” Kehler finished with 40 saves as the Vipers outshot Merritt 45-35. Andrew Shortridge picked up his 10th win of the season for Vernon, who are now seven points ahead of the Cents and Trail Smoke Eaters.

“All games are important but especially the ones against the teams you’re battling for a playoff spot with,” said Ferner. “What we care about, though, is how we play. Not who we play. We have to pay attention to details and be a better 200-foot hockey team. “Committing away from the puck is so important. It gives you opportunities to score and be better defensively.” Vernon remains three points back of the third-place West Kelowna Warriors. The Warriors beat the Spruce Kings 6-4 in Prince George Wednesday. Anthony Brodeur made 33 saves and Scott Conway scored 16 seconds into the second overtime on the team’s 34th shot to give the hometown Penticton Vees a 1-0 win over the Coquitlam Express. It was the Vees’ 23rd straight win. It was also a night of waiting for Penticton fans who finally got to litter the ice with stuffies during the team’s annual Teddy Bear Toss.

Vernon Panthers, meet the Langley Saints. Saints, meet the Panthers. The two high school football programs have never faced each other before, but that changes Saturday morning in the B.C. Subway Bowl High School AA Senior Varsity quarterfinals at B.C. Place Stadium. While its the schools’ first-ever meeting in AA football, there is obvious mutual respect for both programs. “They’ve got some talent and they have a quarterback that can make throws,” said Panthers head coach Sean Smith. “A couple of reviews I’ve got suggest they are the better than any team we have seen this year. They have a big offensive line, a balanced team. They work hard, they’re very athletic, aggressive and confident.” Said Ryk Piche, Saints bench boss: “We know that the Panthers (6-0) have a very sound defence and good offence. You don’t finish first in your division by fluke, and then beat a strong Mission team by accident. We have the utmost respect for Vernon and hope we can provide them with a good showing of competition Saturday morning.” Both teams lost pre-season games to AAA competition. Since then, both have gone undefeated. The 7-1 Saints are ranked No. 4 in the province, and advanced to the quarterfinals by whipping the Ballenas Whalers of Parksville 41-14. “They’re pretty good at throwing, and have good receivers, so if we shut down the receivers we should do fine,” said Panthers conference all-star defensive back Zack Hyer, who is up to the challenge of trying to stop the Saints’ catching targets. “It’s a big thing for me to shut them down, there’s a lot of pressure, but I think we can do it.” His team is coming off back-to-back shutouts, and his defence hasn’t allowed a touchdown in nine-and-a-half quarters, but Smith told his players that Langley will score, and that the Panthers will likely need three touchdowns, maybe more, against the Saints. “Our defence is pretty sound, I’m not worried about them,” said Panthers quarterback Justin Haverkamp. “Our offence has quite a big job against Langley. We’re a good team, they’re a good team, either team can win. This is a fun time of year. We’re looking forward to Saturday.” Added Hyer, about playing indoors at B.C. Place: “It will be interesting. We can’t prep for that but it’s going to be cool to play there for my senior year.” Smith, meanwhile, loves the way his team is coming together at the right time of the season. “I was worried about what potential this team had and where it would take us, but they’ve gelled in the last three-to-four weeks,” he said. “They’re starting to follow the game plan, they’re practising hard during the week and applying that to the game.” Piche will not allow his team to take the Panthers lightly. “We expect a very physical game from Vernon, and we are aware of all the talent the Panthers have,” he said. “They are dangerous at a multitude of positions and their defensive line looks big and strong, they have a lot of studly athletes in all of their skilled positions.

VSS Panthers head coach Sean Smith runs a practice at the Greater Vernon Athletics Park Wednesday. Smith’s crew takes on the Langley Saints in a B.C. AA High School Varsity Football quarterfinal Saturday at B.C. Place.

Semifinal berth up for grabs Continued from A22 “We have to respect Vernon immensely or it will be a very long day for us.” Piche, along with offensive coordinator Kevin Phillips, is in his first year at Langley Secondary. Piche came from Coquitlam’s Centennial Centaurs, where he and Phillips won a B.C. AAA title several years ago. Phillips spent last season coaching at Simon Fraser University. Saturday’s winner will face the winner of a

game between the Abbotsford Panthers and John Barsby Bulldogs of Nanaimo in the B.C. semifinals next weekend. The Bulldogs beat the undefeated Panthers in the B.C. final four in 2014, and in a pre-season match this year at Panther Field. The other quarterfinal matchups have the G.W. Graham Eagles of Chilliwack taking on Surrey’s Holy Cross Crusaders, and the Carson Graham Eagles of North Vancouver in Prince George to face the Polars.

Sydney Lewis and Taylor Stewart scored for the Crushers to tie things up at 2-2, with Kennedy Jackson scoring before the break to even things up 3-3. Ally Hobenshield and Allie Petty scored for Vernon after the Bears took a 5-3 lead. Jackson and Stewart added their second goals before Stewart drew all the defenders to her before passing to Madison Edgar, who went in alone and scored the game-winner. After a 17-3 win over Port Coquitlam, the Crushers finished the tournament with a 14-2 romp over the Vancouver Vortex. Hobenshield, Edgar, Lewis and Jackson all had 2+2 for Vernon while singles went to Kierra Horton, Tegan Schober, Natasha Vienneau, Petty, Lucia Manton and Emily Gilman. Stewart was solid in goal.

Posse round up Knights Morning Star Staff

A tough opening 20 minutes cost the North Okanagan Knights Wednesday. The hometown Princeton Posse scored three times, then added an insurance marker late in the second period to post a 4-2 Kootenay International Junior Hockey League win over the Knights, who played without head coach Bryant Perrier, suspended one game following a game misconduct picked up on the weekend. The Knights entertain the Grand Forks Border Bruins (11-110-2) tonight at 7:30 at the Nor-Val Sports Centre before visiting the Kelowna Chiefs Saturday. “We were really flat, right from the start,” said Perrier, who watched the

game from the stands. Graham Watkins with his seventh of the season, set up by game star Cameron Welch and Colin Robin, and Welch, with his fifth of the year, from Jordan Fidanza, scored for the Knights who got back to within 3-2 in the second period. Carter added his second with 1:20 left in the period for the Posse. There was no scoring in the third period. Paul finished with 21 saves while Zakery Babin made 25 stops for the Posse (6-15-01), who moved into a fourth-place tie in the Okanagan Shuswap Division with the Knights (4-15-1-4). “It’s disappointing because we had an opportunity to separate from this team (Posse),” said Perrier. “I was really disappointed with our effort.” Perrier did praise the effort of third-year veteran Robin. “Colin brought a level of urgency,” he said. Princeton has two games in hand on North Okanagan, who play 11 of their next 12 games against divisional rivals.

Jace Collard of the Vernon Ice Kings dives for the puck against Miles Rempel of the Kelowna Spartans in the Atomic Tournament Saturday at the Civic Arena.

Stars secure Classic title Morning Star Staff

It was a battle of undefeated teams in the final of the Lumby Stars’ Monashee Pee Wee Classic hockey tournament at the Pat Duke Memorial Arena. Ryder Quibell and Tye Krause scored twice, Linden Catt added 1+3 and Parker Stadnyk was stellar in goal to lead the hometown Stars to a 5-2 win over the Clearwater Rebels, and the Monashee Pee Wee Classic trophy. The win capped off a perfect weekend for the Stars, sponsored by Bannister GM and Great West Equipment. Lumby opened with a 7-1 win over the Vernon Inferno. Krause (2+2), Catt (1+1), Zachary Young (1+1), Peter Romailler and Quibell handled the scoring with Cameron Simpson between the pipes. Quintin O’Neill and Kaleb Pachal added helpers. Catt had the winner and Quibell scored twice, one set up neatly by Mia Maltman, as the Stars edged the Kamloops Crunch 3-2. Catt, Krause and Young each scored twice, Quibell had the other, as Lumby whipped the Kelowna Predators 7-2. In the semifinals, Krause had five goals, and Quibell added four in a 10-1 Stars romp over the Kelowna Rockets. Catt added 1+2 while Anthony Pratt chipped in an assist. The defence of Domenik Porteous, Andrew Rannelli, Pachal and Romailler was outstanding throughout the weekend. In North Okanagan Super League Pee Wee action, Vernon Butcher Boys Rebels lambasted the Chase Broncos 17-0. Dawson Twamley had four goals for the Rebels, Reilly Teager added three and Quinn Soon and Alan Lewis each added a pair. Singles went to Paige Brayshaw, Tyler Hamilton, Kayden Bowering, Connor Checchini, Ephren Potter-Cramer and Cole Grevatt. Brooklynn Walters, Morgan Martens and Ronan Bedard picked up assists to support the shutout goaltending of Jakob Aeichele and Kassidy Schaper-Kotter. Adam Roemer scored four times and set up two others to lift the Talon Benefits Redds to an 11-5 win over Salmon Arm Blackburn Excavating in North Okanagan Super League Midget hockey action Sunday at the Priest Valley Arena.

Nick Poirier added 3+1 while Brendan Horsfield chipped in four points (1+3). Jaden Steinke, Braeden Doak and Alex Laurila had the other goals for the Redds. The Hawks got great goaltending from Colton Annis in a 6-3 win over the Vernon Authentic Plaque & Trophy Snakes Saturday night at Civic. Roemer supplied 2+1, while d-man Layk Petersen, Rowan Wood, Laurila and Sam Frisby added singles. Branden Lehoux (2) and Tyler Semeniuk replied for the Snakes. Cole Bradley scored two third-period goals, and Halle Higgins-Wilson set up two more scores as the Corbett Office Plus Kings downed the North Okanagan Knights 7-4 at the Enderby Arena Sunday. Brett Lambert added 1+1 for the Kings while other goals came from Seb Wenger, Ryley Johnson, Reid Lawrence and Leland Riguedel. Noah de Balinhard and Liam Henning drew assists. Vernon Nedco Gunslingers and Salmon Arm Lakeview Printing battled to a 6-6, end-to-end draw Sunday at the Priest Valley Arena. Colton Schaper-Kotter opened the scoring for Vernon. Sean Howard, making his season debut with Nedco, scored on a slapshot from the point and Tayvn Best gave the ‘Slingers a 3-2 early in the second, only to have the printers equalize 42 seconds later. With a minute left in the second period, Aaron Botterill stole the puck at centre ice and went in alone, beating the goalie with a wrist shot to make it 5-4 Salmon Arm. Dexter Weiten’s shot into traffic found the stick of Maguire Dickinson, who deposited the rebound, and Braydie (Boo) Allan gave the Gunslingers a late 6-5 lead with a wicked snap shot top-shelf. Lakeview Printing tied the game with less than three minutes left. In Novice Division action, the Vernon Tim Hortons Thunder Jets scored a 9-7 win over the Lumby Stars, sponsored by Gorman Brothers. Kobe Maltman and Caden Oliver had two goals each for the Stars, who host Winfield Saturday at 10 a.m. at the Pat Duke Memorial Arena. Isabella Huston, Hunter Adams and Emma Wheeler had single goals for Lumby.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder THE TO AND FRO OF FITFINDING Albert Einstein said, “If the facts don’t fit the theory, change the facts.” If a bridge auction does not find the best fit, change the sequence. Today’s deal was about finding the right suit fit. How should the auction have proceeded, if at all, after South rebid two hearts? (Yes, he might have overbid slightly with three hearts. The most accurate rebid was two-and-a-half hearts!) North’s first decision was: pass or two spades? If South was 5-4 in the majors, two spades, the 5-2 fit, would probably have played better than two hearts, a 4-3 fit. But if South had a minimum 5-5, passing rated to be the

winner. The key, though, was the strength of North’s hand. If South had enough power to bid a third time, North had sufficient to accept the game-try. So, North correctly rebid two spades. At the table, South now jumped to four spades. This was a clear error, given that North couldn’t have three spades, because she would have responded two spades, not one no-trump. South should have continued with three (or four) hearts, which would have got them to four hearts, a contract that would surely have made. Four spades was another matter. West led the club king, then made the excellent continuation of the club 10 to pin South’s

eight. South ruffed the third club, cashed the diamond king, played a heart to the queen, threw a heart on the diamond ace, and ran the spade jack. Now the roof fell in. West won and led her fourth club, on which East discarded his heart jack. The contract went down three.

Welcome to Worry-Free Living!

Construction opens doors Morning Star Staff

Would-be builders and carpenters have a chance to find out more about a course next spring that will take them onto the job site of tomorrow as Okanagan College instructors and students help to construct one of the most energy efficient homes in the region. The college’s trades department is hosting an information session Monday at 5 p.m. to showcase a residential construction program that will see students working side-by-side with a local homebuilder to construct two homes in the Wilden subdivision in Kelowna. Students who sign up for the program (which is offered in Vernon, among other campuses) in February will have an opportunity to hone their skills through a unique research project designed to study how new building technologies can translate to energy savings for homeowners. The 26-week course will introduce students to all aspects of the construction trades, including familiarization with the latest building materials and installation techniques. Graduates will receive level one technical training credit and credit for 450 workbased hours toward completion of the carpenter level two apprenticeship program. As part of the building project, two single-family Living Laboratory homes will be constructed. The first home will be built to current building code, while the second will be designed and built to push the envelope and achieve next-level energy efficiency through the use of a number of emerging sustainable building technologies. Researchers from UBCO’s School of Engineering will then monitor and compare the energy use of both homes over the next three years and report

The college’s trades department is hosting an information session Monday about an onsite course next spring. their findings. “We are very excited to see the contributions the students will make, both on the construction side and the technology side,” said Scott Tyerman, president of AuthenTech Homes, local builder. “At the end of the day, there is potential to gain some major insights into how homebuilders and homeowners can get the most out of these new technologies.”

“These students are the future of our industry,” added Russ Foster, president of Blenk Development Corporation and Wilden’s project manager. “We feel it is important to work with the college and UBCO to ensure that students have meaningful opportunities to build their skills and put their knowledge to work.” To date, students

have contributed to nearly 50 building projects like this throughout the valley. “This project is exciting because it will give our students the hands-on training of building homes, as well as the chance to explore and implement the latest green building technologies and techniques,” said Steve Moores, Okanagan College’s dean of trades and apprenticeship. “The practical experience of being on the jobsite for a very highend build like this, and receiving mentorship from a builder like AuthenTech homes, is so valuable for students.” The information session will take place Monday in room T137, at Okanagan College’s Kelowna Campus, 1000 KLO Rd. Space is limited and those interested are asked to RSVP to Nancy Ankerstein, program administrator for trades and apprenticeship, by email at nankerstein@ okanagan.bc.ca.

Shoeboxes send hope worldwide

Morning Star Staff

Jennifer Smith

Trevor and Lynella Henke’s children live every kid’s dream of owning a toy store. But the two girls, whose parents own Vernon Teach and Learn, are also sharing some of their good fortune with children who are not nearly as lucky. For some children, a

colourful pencil, sticker or just one small toy would be the highlight of their year. Which is why the Henke family believes so strongly in Operation Christmas Child and is a collection centre for shoeboxes. “They don’t have those basic things that we take for granted,” said Lynella, mentioning even such basic items as school supplies. Saturday marks the final day for people to drop off their filled shoeboxes and Vernon Teach and Learn is bringing in a special guest for the occasion. A Minion will be on location between 1 and 3 p.m. for the collection and there will also be face painting. Those who haven’t yet filled a box can also do so at the store. “We’ve put together a whole wall of things you can put in the shoebox,” said Lynella. “You can fill a shoebox very inexpensively.” Ya Ya’s Play Centre and Vernon Alliance Church are also drop off sites for shoeboxes. The boxes are sent to Nepal, Costa Rica, Ukraine, Senegal, Haiti, El Salvador, Chile, Uraquay, Guinea and Sierra Leone. There, they will be happily accepted by very grateful children, like 12-year-old Roberto from Guatemala. “I live in a very poor neighborhood and many times I don’t have the school items that I require at school. I always wanted to have a special pencil with removable leads. I prayed to God for one and some friends at my school laughed at me because I said I prayed for one. However, when I was invited to participate in a special celebration in a Christian church at my village, they gave me a gift where I got school supplies. Among them were two of the special pencils I always wanted to have.”

You’ve never seen Robin Hood quite like this Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

He robs from the rich and gives to the poor. That dashing figure Robin Hood also looks pretty darn good in a pair of tights (we’re talking Errol Flynn here and not Russell Crowe). Asparagus Community Theatre is about to turn Armstrong’s Centennial Theatre into Sherwood Forrest when it presents Robin Hood and His Merry Men as its season opener. Audiences can expect that tough damsel in distress Maid Marian, Will Scarlet, Friar Tuck, Little John, as well as the evil Prince John and his henchman, the Sheriff of Nottingham, and of course Robin Hood himself, but with a twist. This version of the story is a pantomime, so expect men in ladies’ clothing, and vice versa, over-the-top theatrics, silly songs, a glittering disco ball, as well as audience participation. “This is a spoof based loosely on Robin Hood... It’s not as naughty as Mel Brooks’ Men in Tights, but there are men in tights in the show. The boys are stepping up for it,” said director Sheryl Hamilton. “This is more Monty Pythonesque with that absurd British humour.” Written by British playwrights Robin Bales and Jonathan Hales, who also wrote the panto Jack and the Beanstalk and were the script doctors for the last Star Wars movies, Robin Hood and His Merry Men is a hilarious take on the old legend. Robin (played here by Shaleen Toney – yes, a female), and his very camp followers, the Merry Men, must fight off the two

There’s also an outrageous dame, Jemima Gusset (Raymond Alexis), and of course Maid Marian herself (Mahalia Michael). The show also features the authors’ original lyrics to some well known songs, including

two by The Village People (cue the disco ball!) This is Hamilton’s first time directing for Asparagus, or any other community theatre for that matter. She moved to Armstrong four years ago from Vancouver, and previously lived in New York City. She now teaches at the Okanagan School of Massage, and says theatre

is her way to work with a creative team. That team includes Hamilton’s husband, Bruce Turnbull, who is a professional artist and has designed the sets for Robin Hood. “(Asparagus member) Mandy Penner, who is on the script selection committee, recommended this script to us,” said Hamilton, who stage managed Fertile Ground, an original play written by Asparagus member Mark Trussell last season. Hamilton has also written her own script, which she hopes will get produced one day. “This time, they were looking for a director, so I thought, ‘why not jump on board,’” she said. “I feel like I’ve found a third arm I didn’t know I had.” Hamilton isn’t kidding. Robin Hood is no small feat. Thirteen of the 26 cast members are under the age of 12, two of whom play animals. So much for that old adage, never work with kids or animals, she laughed. “There are also four families in the show together, but luckily everyone is getting along. Our last scene has everyone on stage together. It’s a good thing our stage is well built,” said Hamilton, adding, “My favourite thing in the process of directing has been watching these people come to life in their characters. I see it in their eyes. Everyone is having fun.” The audience, too, is sure to have fun when Robin Hood and His Merry Men opens at the Centennial Theatre, with nightly shows Dec. 3, 4, 5, 10 , 11, and 12 at 7:30 p.m. Matinées take place Dec. 5 and 12 at 1 p.m. Tickets can be reserved by calling The Guy Next Door at 250-546-9050.

It’s OK to pick new children’s book written by local author

Morning Star Staff

His name may be icky, but the Doubt Booger speaks to the pesky effect of self-doubt and opens the way for children to have courage and go on adventures. He’s also the name of the new children’s book by Vernon author Beth McCarthy Marks. Published by Okanagan Publishing House, the book shows a variety of situations with the struggle between the Doubt Booger and Reality Raven. Featuring vibrant watercolours by Vernon art gallery owner/ illustrator Nadine Wilson, Reality Raven humorously keeps that old Doubt Booger on the run. Through their interactions we learn that most doubts are not nearly as real as they seem, said

Marks, adding the book is about starting a conversation. “Remember when you were small; those little worries that gnawed on you? You never told anyone about them. This book opens up a way for young and old to share those niggling doubts – and to help shrink that old doubt booger,” she said. Marks’ first book, How Perfectly You! (And Peabody Too!), illustrated by Pamela Cinnamon, drew rave reviews, including from notable Canadian author Robert Munsch. The potential impact of The Doubt Booger is not lost on Okanagan Publishing House’s Jadon Ward, who oversaw the production of the book. “Not often is it that you see

WHY LED?

a book that can entertain and engage a child while also giving them new insight about themselves,” he said. “However, The Doubt Booger is the rare story that does just that.” The book’s profound message is brought to life by Wilson’s vivid and mischievous illustrations. Her paintings are bright and bold, and bring a smile to the face of any reader, said Ward. “I’ve yet to have someone read this book without chuckling,” he said, “You honestly can’t. The way Nadine portrays the cheeky Doubt Booger makes it impossible not to laugh.” However, one of the things that has also impressed Ward doesn’t have anything to do with the book’s storyline.

“From the very beginning, both Beth and Nadine were committed to showcasing multi-culturalism throughout the book,” he said. “Not only does that display an integral part of our Canadian society, it also helps young readers realize that everyone has the same doubts, fears, and ability to overcome them.” The Doubt Booger is available in paperback or as an e-book, and can be purchased online at Barnes & Noble.com, Chapters.Indigo.ca and Amazon. The book is also available in Vernon at Nadine’s Fine Art and Frames, 3101-31st Ave. Marks will sign copies of her book at Nadine’s annual winter open house Friday, Nov. 27 from 6 to 10 p.m.

Kal students don whiskers and fur for Wind in the Willows Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

For centuries, authors and auteurs have explored the world of anthropomorphism in their art. The act of attributing human traits, emotions, and intentions to non-human entities can be found from George Orwell’s Animal Farm to Disney’s The Jungle Book, to The Planet of the Apes. There is something fascinating about giving such traits as speech, consciousness, and even clothes to our animal friends to show our human frailties. This is no more true in the writings of British author Kenneth Grahame, who penned The Reluctant Dragon, and his most famous book, The Wind in the Willows, both of which were adapted into Disney movies. It’s the latter work which

Hall, based on Grahame’s book. “The Wind in the Willows was based off the characters of Mole, Rat and Toad, which started as Grahame’s Adventures of Mr. Toad. His daughter or niece wanted a longer story so he came up with The Wind in the Willows, which is more of a novella,” said Thomas. In the book, Mr. Toad is met by Mole, Rat and Badger, who set off on adventures. Along the way, they encounter rabbits, weasels, stoats and other woodland creatures. “The morals in the story are about friendship, tradition, and respect. It is a great story for kids,” said Thomas, adding, “The play follows the general story of the The Wind in the Willows, but because it is a musical adaptation, there has to be some additions and some subtractions. Where the book plods along, this has a quicker pace.” The book also has some modern sentiments, mostly to do with Mr. Toad’s desire to have his own motorcar, along with traditional ones. “When I read the notes in the play, the book is not set in Everyone knows food can make or break any era, instead it is this magia party.

Kalamalka Secondary School’s Apple Box Theatre is about to present to the stage as a musical. The Wind in the Willows focuses on four anthropomorphised animals in a pastoral version of England. “Everyone knows The Wind in the Willows, but they’re not completely sure where they know it from,” said Kal drama teacher Shon Thomas, who is directing the students in this production. That’s probably because one of the book’s central characters, Mr. Toad, has been immortalized in two Disney films (The Wind in the Willows and The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad), a stop motion television spin-off, Oh, Mr. Toad, and is even as a character on a Disneyland ride.

Tomlin plays atypical Grandma

Grandma

ily Tomlin is Grandma. After a terrible morning spent breaking up with her girlfriend, Grandma is visited by her teenage granddaughter Sage (Julia Garner). Sage needs $600 for an Taylor and Howe abortion. Grandma doesn’t have the money, but thinks she can get it. The two drive around town calling in favours, trying to raise the money before the clinic closes. Finally, admitting failure, the two succumb to their last resort, asking Sage’s mom (Marcia Gay Harden) for help. We say, “It’s a quick, quirky little movie about almost nothing.” TAYLOR: I liked the way this film was laid out, in little segments, like pointless chapters, although we always just follow Grandma. I liked Grandma herself, her grumpy lesbian poet seemed very real, but in an extreme way. She went out of her way to make a point about things, theatrically. I could see why

Reel Reviews

Sony PictureS claSSicS

Lily Tomlin takes her granddaughter Sage (Julia Garner) to the abortion clinic in Grandma. people would feel Tomlin’s performance is fake or flaky. I think Grandma herself is fake and flaky, so it works. However, I thought a lot of the writing was weak, with characters saying things that didn’t need saying and a serious lack of story. Sometimes life is like this; sometimes people have to deal with these things. This tale is of one such situation. It’s not earth shattering, but it’s... real. Nobody in the film seemed to care too much; neither do I. HOWE: I’m not going to say this is one of the worst movies I have seen this year, but it will be up there with them. The movie itself doesn’t seem to do anything. Grandma and granddaughter drive, looking

to scrounge money off former friends and lovers so they can pay for an abortion. That’s the whole movie. The acting isn’t that great either, especially from Julia Garner who plays the granddaughter, Sage. The way she delivers her lines becomes monotone, a bit like the teacher out of the Peanuts movie last week. Overall, I wasn’t impressed and that’s a shame because it had a nice cast otherwise: Tomlin, Sam Elliott and Gay Harden. I expected better.  time Grandma Every opened her mouth some exple tive would explode and to be truthful, it wasn’t needed. Yes, by all means, make her a curmudgeon, but this was just

overboard. If I wanted to hear those sorts of words, I could have them free from my neighbour. TAYLOR: When stated as “Grandma’s road trip to the abortion clinic,” it sounds like either a whacky comedy or heartfelt drama, yet Grandma is neither. It’s not about the abortion, nor the personal choices made, although the characters do address that these things have been considered. The problem is we are not privy to these considerations. The film has no heart because it’s missing the meat of the matter. The audience has to further ignore the obvious question of “why is it so imperative to raise the money today?” Sage could have just made another appointment the next day, but this urgency pushes the film forward. Still, in the end, nothing much happens; life goes on for almost everyone. The film draws no conclusions. It’s a slice of life. It is, however, something different and therefore has value. – Taylor gives Grandma 2.5 O tattoos out of 5. – Howe gives it 2 punches out of 5. Grandma is playing at the Towne Cinema.

he latest in prefab pop boy bands, the U.K.based entity known as One Direction don’t disappoint on their latest product for the masses, Made in the A.M. As they sing (all too predictably and precisely) on Perfect, Baby, I’m Perfect for You, it’s a foregone conclusion that their predestined audience will consume this hit machine with emptyheaded enthusiasm. But seriously now, some say they ain’t too bad for pop. That leaves a few questions, namely what era of pop and what genre? Yes, these groups can sing and their producers can stitch and paste a good tune together as they do here on Hey Angel, an ambitious song with an intense chorus that has pretensions to be Bittersweet Symphony (by U.K. band, The Verve). It tries but fails in that regard. One sounds real and lived in and this one sounds nice

but removed. Long Way Down is a similar inoffensive track. There are no sour notes

and a pretty melody but a scripted reading of a paint-by-numbers arrangement. Groups or performers like these are a mysterious lot. They fall into a Celine Dion/Mariah Carey category of superstars that you won’t hear out in the street. You can hear that One Direction is trying to get loose on tracks like Temporary Fix, but their context is so constricted that there’s no hope of spon-

taneity.  It’s a vast, sprawling collection of nice sugary  ‘boy band’ sound that  isn’t bad for pop but it’s interesting to think that at one time Otis Redding had a hit pop song with Dock of the Bay. The Beatles had a dozen or so, as did the Rolling Stones, Earth, Wind and Fire, the Jackson Five, The Eurythmics, etc. Where are the Back Street Boys when you need them?

Help and hope for eating disorders Karen McKinley Special to The Morning Star

If you or someone you love is suffering from an eating disorder, then you know all too well how every aspect of life can be affected. In this article, I’d like to discuss recent changes to eating disorder diagnosis, treatment goals, ways to support your own recovery, and most important, offer hope that recovery is possible! Many people are surprised to learn that eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric diagnosis. They are serious, life-threatening illnesses; rarely do they get better without professional help. There are three main types of eating disorders currently recognized: anorexia, bulimia, and binge-eating disorder. Most people are familiar with anorexia and bulimia, thanks to improved education and awareness campaigns. Binge Eating Disorder (BED) has finally been recognized as an official eating disorder in the latest version of the DSMV, published in 2013. It is, in fact, the most prevalent eating disorder. BED is characterized by binge-eating episodes that are severe enough, and frequent enough, to cause a clinically significant level of distress. There are no purging behaviors, and most individuals suffering from BED are overweight or obese. A significant percentage of individuals do not meet the diagnostic criteria for an eating disorder, but still struggle with food and weight issues. If you or a loved one are in this category, you deserve and will benefit from help too! In addition to stabilizing eating patterns,

common treatment goals involve overcoming the tendency to isolate, learning to identify and express feelings, processing past or current trauma, practising healthy coping strategies, exploring triggers to eating disorder behaviors, learning assertiveness skills, developing new hobbies/interests, and addressing co-occurring mood disorders or other mental health issues. Some who struggle with bulimia or BED find that there is a food addiction component to their eating disorder. They find that their body responds in an addictive manner to certain foods, and drives the “more, more, more” response typical of binge-eating behavior. This physiological component is commonly overlooked, but can be a key part of the treatment plan for some individuals. If you are struggling with an eating disorder, you may be feeling alone, hopeless or scared. Here are some ways to support yourself: 1. Practise listening to, and honouring, your feelings. Ask yourself: “How am I feeling?”, “What do I need?” Then attempt to meet that need in the healthiest way possible. Maybe you feel overwhelmed and need some quiet time; maybe you feel angry and need to talk with a friend or write it out. 2. Practise radical acceptance. Work on accepting yourself as you are right now, and accepting your body as it is right now. This is a process, not a one-time event. 3. Spend time in nature. Time spent in the natural world — walking in a forest, gardening, kayaking/canoeing, etc. — has significant stress-reducing effects. Eating

disorders are extremely stressful, and the outdoors is a non-commercialized, nonbody-image-focused place to unwind and rejuvenate. 4. Notice what brings you joy. Living with an eating disorder can be exquisitely painful, and hopelessness is often a theme. Notice what gives you little bursts of happiness, and start building more of these simple pleasures into your life. 5. Observe when all-or-nothing thinking is present. You may notice this type of black-and-white happening often, and it can have a huge influence on your recovery process. Thoughts such as “I ate a cookie, now I might as well binge or binge and purge,” fuel the eating disordered behavior. Aim for the middle path in your thinking, avoiding extremes. This is a learning process and requires practice. 6. Reach out for help. Realize that as much as you’d like to, you just can’t do it alone. Share your struggle with a friend or family member. Support groups are wonderful for easing the isolation that almost everyone with an eating disorder experiences. Most important of all, remember: there is hope, there is help, and recovery is always possible! Karen McKinley is a Vernon therapist specializing in eating disorders and disordered eating. She offers individual therapy, and is currently taking names of those interested in attending a weekly support group. Please visit www.sagebrushcounselling.com for more information.

Blind Spot Assist. I’m a sucker for M-B’s Intelligent Drive concept. The various systems take data from the various sensors to boost comfort and safety. Systems that think and act somewhat quicker than your average driver! The first Canadian models will be gas-powered, a turbo-diesel comes in the 2017 model year and a plug-in hybrid is scheduled for 2018. A Coupe version is on the way but no date yet. The base sticker price is $44,950 but take it up to the premium package, with COMAND navigation and a superb panoramic roof, and you are nudging 50 grand. Load in those extra tricky active safety technologies and you soon hit the mid-50s.

Safety Tip: As road conditions become more challenging, it is even more important to stay focused behind the wheel. If you need to make a call or send a text, pull over somewhere safe or use a highway rest stop to take a break.

With heavy hearts we announce the peaceful passing of Arnold Steiner on November 6th 2015 at Noric House with his family by his side. He leaves to mourn his daughter Margaret Sargent (Richard), son Robert Steiner (Lisa), granddaughters Emily (Niko) and Lillie, foster son Shane Malloy, (Tanya) and their sons Jack and Hank, and Arnoldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s siblings, Karen, Judy Neudorf (George), Elroy Steiner (Nadine) and Sherry Slovak (Ivan) and extended family. Arnold was predeceased by Rose, his wife of 56 years. Arnold was born in Humboldt Saskatchewan on October 28th, 1933. He was the oldest of 5 children. Arnold met his wife Rose in 1951, and they married in 1955. Arnold was not one to follow the beaten path, he started up his own law practice lasting 50 years, with his wife Rose playing a large role by working to put him through school and then managing things at the office. Arnold was heavily involved in property development all over the Okanagan. We spent many weekends as a family driving to the latest property and watching the development progress. His hard work financed many enjoyable family vacations over the years. Arnold enjoyed his daily walks, playing chess, and talking business with his friends. He was an avid reader of many topics, and had a real thirst for knowledge. Arnold was very intelligent, and he enjoyed helping others by sharing his wisdom. Arnold had a never ending positive attitude and tenacity that served him well in life. He will be most remembered for this. A family graveside service was held on November 13th and will be followed by a family reunion next summer to remember Arnold. Those wishing to do so, may make a donation to their favourite charity in lieu of flowers.
