City, market work on plan RICHARD ROLKE

Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Farmers Market is not standing in the way of a new arena. VFM directors met with Mayor Akbal Mund and Coun. Catherine Lord Thursday to discuss the location of the market in the Kal Tire Place parking lot if twinning of the ice sheet occurs after Saturday’s referendum. “We are not against any kind of building,” said Brian Zelaney, VFM past-president. However, Zelaney insists that the needs of the market are a priority during construction and long-term if an arena was open. “We’ve been part of the community for 30 years,” he said, adding that the market has a $3 million economic impact annually. The city had originally suggested that construction could move the market farther north in the parking lot, but Zelaney says that area is an unpaved “grassy bog.”

As a result of Thursday’s meeting, the market will be shifted closer to Kal Tire Place, with a buffer created for construction. “We will gain more of the parking lot back,” said Zelaney. While a site during construction has been hammered out, Zelaney admits that VFM is concerned about parking if a twin sheet is constructed in the existing parking lot. “We are willing to work with the city.” Mund was pleased with Thursday’s discussion. “We had a great meeting and we made sure the area north of the construction site is their’s to operate,” he said. “We support them and we will work with the construction firm, if the project proceeds, to make sure the market continues to operate.” Mund says he recognizes that the market and its 200 vendors are important to the community. “They are business people and we don’t want them to fail,” he said.

City to consider merits of Avenue Market RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

The future of a public market remains unknown. On Monday, Vernon council will receive the results of a city survey into the Avenue Market and whether there is support among merchants. “I believe the results are positive,” said Mary-Jo O’Keefe, president of the Downtown Vernon Association, which organizes Avenue Market from May to September. “People were expecting a negative result but it reflects that the majority are happy with activity in the core.” The city distributed 143 surveys along six blocks of 30th Avenue in October and 55 or

38.5 per cent were returned. Businesses were asked if they participate in the market. The results were 18 per cent always, nine per cent sometimes and 73 per cent no. The reasons for not participating were not appropriate for the business, not enough staff to stay open, personal choice and the market does not help their business. When asked if they want the market to continue in 2016, 42 per cent said yes as is, 20 per cent said yes but on Saturdays, 20 per cent said yes but with changes, five per cent were neutral and 13 per cent said no. Among the changes sought by those who want the market are a weekend event and moving the market off of 30th Avenue. Those opposed indicated a loss in business and the

belief that market and street closures only help a few businesses. Question three asked if the Avenue Market provides an economic benefit or economic cost for the business. Twenty-seven per cent stated there was an economic benefic while 31 per cent reported an economic cost, 26 per cent were undecided and 16 per cent did not provide a response. Among the comments from survey respondents to the question were, the market takes away parking, it brought more exposure to business, it allows for more interaction with the public and more staff is needed which increases costs. The final question asked if the Avenue Market is good for downtown as a whole.

Sixty-five per cent stated yes, 20 per cent said somewhat, nine per cent said no and six per cent did not respond. O’Keefe hopes the survey results lead to council endorsing the return of the market. “We need consistency — do it for three or five years and make it the best possible,” she said. Mayor Akbal Mund isn’t sure how the city will proceed with the market. “If more than 50 per cent of the businesses are saying there is no economic benefit, you have to consider if it’s something that should continue,” he said. “From these results, it shows it’s not working as is. Businesses look at the bottom line and the bottom line doesn’t make sense.”

Lifting her way to the top of the world it” said Fester, who found something else in the crossfit gym: love. She met gym owner Jeremy Meredith, who said he would never date anybody who was a client. It took a lot of convincing – Fester had to ask Meredith out numerous times – before the couple with a shared love of athletics became close. Today, they co-own the new facility they opened this summer on 11th Avenue. “I would not be where I am today if it weren’t for the unconditional support of my partner,” said Fester of Meredith. Fester also draws inspiration from fellow competitors and those she works out with in her own gym. One of the competitors in Virginia Beach was 11. Another was 86 who has been doing crossfit “forever.” One man with Parkinson’s Disease comes into CrossFit Vernon everyday and works hard, through his tremors. “A lot of people in here overcome obstacles and adversity, they’re the inspiring ones,” said Fester. “Here and at competitions, there are athletes from all walks of life and different shapes and sizes, and they’re doing what they love.” Fester, who trains three-to-five times a week for an hour (two hours for powerlifting events), plans to defend her titles at next year’s 100 Per Cent Raw World Powerlifting championship in Pennsylvania. She also wants that world squat record. “I hope to keep improving on what I can do,” she said. “You can only do what you can do, only keep improving yourself. It’ll get harder every year. People get stronger, train harder, but that’s what motivates you, too. If you want to be the best, you have to work hard.”

ace herself. Make her lifts. Make her lifts and set personal records. Do what she consistently does in her CrossFit Vernon gym she co-owns with her partner, or maybe a little better. Those were Deanna Fester’s modest goals for her debut appearance at the 100 Per Cent Raw World Powerlifting Championships Halloween weekend in Virginia Beach, VA. The loftier goals for the 29-year-old gym enthusiast included squatting a world record, winning her weight class and winning best overall lifter. Fester returned home from the worlds with a stunning trophy and a championship belt engraved with “women lightweight world powerlifting champion” after winning her weight class. She missed that world squat record by only five pounds. “I don’t normally go into competition with having a result in mind,” said Fester. “I usually go in with specific goals. I always want to do my best. That’s exactly what my goal was for the worlds.” The five-foot-six, 145-pounder (66 kilograms) was competing directly with 15 women in the lightweight class, and, out of approximately 50 women in the lightweight category, Fester beat them all based on the Wilks Coefficient result, which takes a competitor’s weight and how much they lift. “Because I’m not very big for a powerlifter but lift very heavy, I can often win based on that,” smiled Fester. Oh and she lifted heavy in Virginia Beach all right. Fester set a personal record in the backsquat of 142.5 kilos (342.1 pounds). This is where a competitor takes the bar and weights, places them on their back, squats down then has to stand up again. She pressed 80 kilos (176.3 pounds) in the bench press and picked up 167.5 kilos (369.2 pounds) in the deadlift event. Fester helped Team Canada win best overall country at the 100 Per Cent Raw event. Powerlifting is an umbrella sport under crossfit, but is different from Olympic weightlifting, which features the snatch and the clean-and-jerk (Fester also competes in that event where she is provincial champion and nationally ranked).

ROGER KNOX/MORNING STAR

Vernon’s Deanna Fester won her lightweight class and best overall lifter at the 100 Per Cent Raw World Powerlifting Championships in Virginia. Fester earned her spot onto Team Canada at the world qualifying event held in Lake Country in June. There, she posted the highest Wilks Coefficient of any of the women on Team Canada For Raw powerlifting. “They asked me if I wanted to be a sponsored athlete to go to the worlds,” said Fester. “Absolutely. I said I’d love the opportunity to represent my country and my

gym. To have the highest Wilks Coefficient at worlds was humbling, surprising, wonderful. It was everything.” Fester grew up in Vernon playing every sport she could, which she credits to the love and support of her family. Four years ago, a girlfriend was doing crossfit and believed Fester, a competitive, athletic person, would enjoy it. “I tried it and instantly fell in love with

Vipers support ice twinning plan richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Greater Vernon residents are being urged to think of broad-based community interests when they head to the polls Saturday. Duncan Wray, owner of the Vernon Vipers junior hockey team, supports twinning of Kal Tire Place, which is the focus of the $13.2 million borrowing referendum. “It will not benefit the Vipers significantly but for the other groups in the community, it’s a no brainer,” he said. For Wray, a positive of twin sheets would be the ability to host a variety of sports tournaments or trade shows that fill up local hotels and restaurants. “It’s good for the entire community.” As an example, he says that there’s the possibility that twin sheets could lead to Vernon hosting the B.C. Hockey League showcase, which is generally held in Chilliwack because of the facilities there. “With two sheets side-by-side, the hockey scouts can watch games all day long,” he said, adding that such an

event brings people here and expands Vernon’s profile. But economic development aside, Wray’s primary concern is ensuring that young athletes have access to proper facilities so they can excel in their chosen sport. “It (twinning) would be the wisest thing to do because the life span at Civic Arena is limited. Throwing money at Civic would be a short-term Band-Aid,” he said. City officials have stated that Civic’s refrigeration system could fail at any time, and there are structural concerns with the building. “If there is no Civic, where will the kids go to play hockey or lacrosse? They can’t all go to this place (existing Kal Tire Place),” said Wray. An advance poll will be held Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Regional District of North Okanagan office, Vernon city hall and the Coldstream municipal office. General referendum day is Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at BX Elementary School, Coldstream Elementary School, Ellison Elementary School, Silver Star Elementary and the Vernon Recreation Complex.

There’s been an arrest after extensive damage was done by a vehicle. On Wednesday at about 3:50 p.m., the RCMP were notified of a pickup driving erratically in the 1700 block of Kosmina Road in Vernon. “The vehicle was reported to be speeding, and doing doughnuts,” said Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy. “It had struck a pole, a fire hydrant, a tree and another vehicle and then fled the scene.” There were numerous other people in the area at the time but no one was injured. A 53-year-old Vernon man was located and arrested by RCMP a short time later. “He has subsequently been released from custody, but the investigation is ongoing,” said Noseworthy.

Family sought for giveaway Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

Some local businesses are gearing up to make Christmas extra special for a local family in need of a new vehicle. But they need the public’s help in finding the deserving family. Watkin Motors’ has donated a Ford Freestar minivan, which Fix Auto has spruced up and will be giving away just before Christmas. Nomination letters are being sought, and will be accepted until Saturday, Nov. 28. “We need everybody to email us or drop off their letter nominating a family who needs a vehicle,” said Tim Gares of Fix

Auto (former Star Autobody, in conjunction with Manfred’s Autobody). It could be a single parent in need of a reliable vehicle, or a family that’s down on their luck and can’t afford to upgrade their clunker which keeps breaking down. “Of course, they need to be able to afford it and maintain it and insure it,” said Gares. Although used, the minivan is in “great shape,” says Gares, and includes leather seats and even has a DVD player. “Watkins really went the distance this year,” he said. This is the 8th annual Christmas Car Giveaway, and something all involved look for-

ward to just as much as the recipient. “It’s actually just the feeling we get,” said Gares, of why the tradition continues. “It’s a really positive thing to do for a family this time of year.” The hardest part is reading the heart-wrenching letters and trying to choose the recipient. “It’s usually overwhelming. It’s hard to pick just one because they are all worthwhile.” Nominations letters can be dropped off at either Fix Auto location, Star Autobody at 2814 37th Ave. or Manfred’s Autobody at 6252 Pleasant Valley Road, or Watkin Motors. Letters can also be emailed to: christmascarvernon@fixauto.com.

Technology shapes library role richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Officials are trying to shape the library of the future. The Okanagan Regional Library board met Wednesday and the primary focus was the development of a strategic plan. “We’re really focusing on how libraries are

changing and how to provide the service in a more efficient way,” said director Catherine Lord. One of the issues being considered is patrons asking library staff to help with technical issues such as how to load an eBook on an iPad. “The new technology is proving challenging but the staff is keen on doing it,” said director Mike Macnabb.

However, there were some operational issues behind the scenes as this was the first food bank. Another challenge was some people showing up without appointments. Food banks will be held every other month at this point. “We have to look

at the donations and money coming in and will evaluate the process in February,” said Hemenway, adding that financial stability is essential for the organization. “We have to see what the numbers are so we can possibly go to every month.”

Make sure you vote

agree that the twinning arena plan may not be perfect and may even seem a little bit rushed but like most things political, it’s a compromise based on the reality of the present situation and decisions, or maybe lack of action, from the past. Yes, we should have maintained Civic Arena better in the past. I don’t see any hue and cry to replace similar-aged arenas in Penticton and Kelowna. I think that goes back a few decades to when Vernon council was more concerned with no tax increases every year than taking care of our infraglenn Mitchell structure. Meanwhile, Kelowna grew exponentially, along with its facilities, and Vernon, well, didn’t. It’s not really anybody’s fault. It’s obviously what the people voted for and what they got. As far as the consequences for Civic, it’s a shame, yes. But that ship has sailed. And, yes, it would be nice if Kin Race Track was in the loop of possibilities. Just like it would have been nice to have the Greater Vernon Athletics Park at that central site instead of up at the college, but, again, political realities force compromises and thinking outside the box (and city) and at least we finally have a great track and field facility and football field worthy of this community (OK, it would be nice to have a scoreboard, any sponsors willing to step up?). And don’t get me going on Marshall Field but our recreational facilities have been woefully inadequate for some time now compared to other similar-sized cities (yes, I have had a couple kids in sports over the past 15 years or so in case you want full disclosure but they missed the boat on the new field and any possible new arena, but maybe if they find a way to live here and have kids here and.....). Yes, the timing kind of sucks after a pretty exhausting federal election and the opening of

MitChEll’S MuSingS

a field that went over budget, not to mention other needs and desires in the community, but for what it’s worth I’m going to vote in the affirmative because it makes sense on most levels and it will serve the community better in the future than the present situation. I believe we’re paying the price for having to catch up a bit here when it comes to facilities. However, do remember the debt load for Kal Tire Place and the Performing Arts Centre are coming off the books soon, and I can’t imagine this community without those two star attractions getting the green light from voters all those years ago. You, of course, should consider all the information being presented for your perusal and make your own decision. After all, we are the ones paying the bills, and I applaud the fact that we get to decide the fate of this plan, as it should be. I also know this plan, if it goes through, would affect other parties but I, again, believe there’s room for compromise and solutions that could benefit all, including the community at large. Call me naive, but I believe we are all in this together, so no matter how you feel about this issue let’s keep the debate civil and reasonable and no matter the outcome we will continue to do our best to make this community a great place to live and play....... ........There’s still plenty of time to gather information on this topic at various public information booths this coming week. And check out the full referendum question online, it’s a mouthful, at greatervernonrecreation.ca/arenareferendum where you’ll also find answers to frequently asked questions, diagrams and, of course, information on where to vote. There’s one more advance poll this Wednesday (RDNO, Coldstream and Vernon municipal offices) and then the full meal deal on Saturday at BX, Ellison, Coldstream and Silver Star schools, along with the Vernon Recreation Complex. No matter how you feel about the issue, the important thing is to vote.

It still feels weird to be driving home from work in the dark. Though we’ve had a few weeks to adjust to the end of Daylight Savings Time it is sometimes still a shock to get out of work and see the stars overhead. We also haven’t had to really adjust yet to winter weather. We can count on one hand the number of times we’ve had to scrape the frost off the car in the morning. We’ve experienced a couple of storms now, but the thermometer has stayed decidedly on the mild side. The rain, though, after this summer’s long drought, is still something to which we are adjusting to. But it has also, it seems, left us rather unprepared for winter driving. We’re not entirely sure why it seems the population forgets how to safely drive through the elements when we don’t have to for a few months, but it behooves us all to give ourselves a little primer. It’s an abrupt and sad reminder of our mortality on the road in our speeding metal boxes. Sometimes a crash is unavoidable. But there are things that we can do to give ourselves more of a safety cushion out there. And the more people doing those things the safer it is for everyone. First and foremost, slow down. Speed limits are set for optimal conditions — not in the dark, or on a road that has frozen overnight, or where water is pooling and catching your tires. If you don’t know if it has frozen or not, some extra caution just in case never hurt anyone. Second, leave appropriate stopping space between yourself and the car in front of you so that if they get into trouble, you don’t have to follow. Your hurry is never that important. – Cowichan Valley Citizen

Taking care of the Civic Arena?

ike many taxpayers, I’ve been following the debate about replacing Civic Arena quite closely. I was particularly taken by a comment attributed to a young boy whose minor hockey coach had written a letter, It’s time to replace Civic, “Why don’t they take care of this place, coach?” That’s an excellent question and one I would like to know the answer to as well. It is especially relevant given that we have been told that even if the referendum passes, it will be at least three years before Kal Tire Place can be twinned. That means Civic needs to last until the beginning of 2019 or the 40 per cent of the local ice time that it provides will be

lost. Thank goodness our school trustees are much more conscientious about maintaining older public assets than is Vernon council. Much has been made of the fact that Civic is 78-years-old and no longer worth maintaining. Yet nothing has been said about Ecole Bearisto which is 107-years-old. One remains in good repair, the other has been allowed to deteriorate. Why? The thing I like best about Civic is that it is paid for. Kal Tire Place will not be paid for until 2020, when the 20-year debenture used to fund it will be fully paid off. Does that mean if we eke out Civic until 2020 (that’s just a year or two more than it has to last anyway), we

VOTING YES Regarding Richard Rolke’s column Nov 18th, and Mayor Mund’s Facebook posting, what the mayor is clearly explaining is what is known as the sunk cost fallacy, or the escalation of commitment fallacy. Those not familiar with logical fallacies would call this the, in for a penny, in for a pound behaviour. The immediate and future costs and benefits must be considered in the case of the Civic Arena. A cursory appreciation of the situation would seem to lead straight to the sunk cost fallacy. It seems to me that a further investment of $10 million now would be a classic case of throwing good money after bad. Say we commit to the $10 million, we now have to ask the following: How long to complete the repairs already identified? What other hidden cost surprises will appear? How long will the work take? How much benefit to community groups would be derived during the overlap between the necessary repairs and the eventual additional sheet of ice at Kal Tire Place? What long-term operation and maintenance costs will be incurred in keeping a partially upgraded Civic Arena? In my opinion, this is a straightforward decision. Civic is long past its useful life-cycle. In the world of maintenance management, this asset is a major liability to the taxpayer. Far better to borrow now, and expand Kal Tire Place for the future. The mayor is correct. Putting lipstick on this pig is simply not logical. Bob Byrne WRONG PLAN I don't think anyone in Vernon would like to see better arena facilities than I would, but I don't see the progress in replacing a sheet of ice for a sheet of ice. If this vote were for a non-fancy, stand-alone twin rink facility, I would be 100 per cent for it. Replacing a

could simply roll over the Kal Tire debt payment and get a new ice sheet for no more than we are already paying? If so, that makes a lot of sense to me. Likewise, the performing arts centre's 20-year funding debenture will be paid off in 2020. Could it not also be rolled over and the money used to fund upgraded museum/art gallery facilities at no cost to us taxpayers beyond what we are already paying? Surely, once a city or regional district pays off a debt, it then has extra money to finance something else without adding to the existing tax burden, does it not? If not, why not? Jim Bodkin

sheet of ice for a sheet of ice isn't going to allow us to increase the amount of teams invited for tournaments. It isn't going to allow rec leagues to expand and have decent starting times. Years ago, the city tried to organize a novice hockey league for adults. They could only get 10:30 p.m. start times. Trying to get players, refs and scorekeepers out for single games at that hour proved impossible, so the league folded. I envision a twin facility, something like the one in Chilliwack, on the northwest corner of Kin Park, with sport fields between it and Kal Tire Place. Now that would be progress. Hubie Petersen WHAT'S THE RUSH? I have difficulty believing that all ice sheets in Vernon, minus the Civic Arena, are used 100 per cent of the time. I think the public needs to see a schedule of usage at the OTR rink on 27th Avenue, the Priest Valley Arena and Kal Tire Place before making a decision on the upcoming referendum. Rarely do I see anyone using Civic Arena during the weekdays and yet it was stated that it is in use 40 per cent of the time. Yes, cars are parked there daily, but those belong to the people working in the downtown area and the city staff. I understand that there are seniors playing hockey, there is public skating and pre-schoolers skating. But are they using ice time that conflicts with the school age sports such as hockey, figure skating and ringette? Before rushing into a referendum on an ice rink, wouldn’t it be a good idea to give us taxpayers an estimate on a new RCMP building, the art gallery building, and the museum building, which are also needed, along with the questionable ice rink before we vote? The cultural plan is supposed to be nearing completion with the last step being buildings. What is the big rush? Joanne Georgeson

JOB NOT DONE With regards to the tragic news from Paris and the war against ISIS in Syria and the world over, I am appalled to hear that our prime minister intends to pull our air force out of action. Canadian forces to not leave a job unfinished. From personal experience in the Second World War, Canadians do not back out. Were our Canadian boys consulted about this? I doubt it. Their job is far from finished, and I know what their answer will be. Granted, they would sooner be at home with their families but their sense of duty will demand they finish the job at hand. They are doing an admirable job, so please allow them to complete their assignment. Mr. Trudeau, butt out and let them finish the battle for the freedom of the civilized world. Hugh Y. Rayment

ARENA SUPPORT I recently read that Kelowna is planning two new hockey rinks and an indoor soccer pitch under one roof. They are not holding a referendum on this proposal but have chosen to use the alternate approval process. They will go ahead with the project unless 10 per cent of eligible voters sign a petition against the initiative. No referendum would save time and money. It would be interesting to know if this option is available in Vernon? I am a senior citizen and know my taxes would rise marginally and that I would never use the facility except as a spectator. I also realize that other people paid taxes so I would have an arena, swimming pool, library and soccer and ball diamonds available to me as I was growing up in Vernon. Marv Hackman

Power proposal goes before the public Morning Star Staff

Vernon area residents have an opportunity to spark discussions and input into a new power line. B.C. Hydro will build a secondary transmission line to deliver power to West Kelowna and Peachland.

One of the options is to construct a new line north on the west side of Okanagan Lake that connects Westbank substation to the existing transmission line serving Vernon substation. The public is invited to provide feedback on

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The existing line has provided reliable power.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; B.C. Hydro project report

the project at an open house Monday at the Best Western Vernon Lodge from 5 to 8 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The existing line into the area has provided reliable power to the communities for decades,â&#x20AC;? states B.C. Hydroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s project report.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new line will strengthen and reinforce the existing transmission network.â&#x20AC;? The Vernon route is one of three options being considered. An earlier open house in June showed support for the Vernon

option. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alternative one was perceived as more desirable over other alternatives, as it would create a diversity of transmission sources and wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be threatened by the same forest fires as the existing line,â&#x20AC;? reads the consultation summary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the event this alternative is selected, there were requests that B.C. Hydro consider adding a substation to

serve the Westside Road area.â&#x20AC;? Alternative two is to construct the line from Nicola substation to Westbank substation using a different route than the existing transmission line. The third alternative, which is the shortest route, is to construct a new submarine transmission cable across Okanagan Lake, connecting the Westbank substation to the Fortis

B.C. system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A number of participants expressed concern that this alternative could be the most expensive, and would impact rates,â&#x20AC;? reads the summary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One participant also expressed concern that fish habitat may be impacted. A number of participants viewed this alternative as the most desirable, as it will not be threatened by forest fires.â&#x20AC;?

DISTRICT OF COLDSTREAM APPOINTMENTS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION The District of Coldstream invites applications from the public to fill vacancies on the Advisory Planning Commission, effective January 1, 2016 for a two-year term. The Advisory Planning Commission acts in an advisory capacity to Council on matters related to land use, community planning, and proposed bylaws and permits which are referred by Council. The application form is available at the Coldstream Municipal Office, 9901 Kalamalka Road, and on the website www.coldstream.ca. Applications will be received up to Wednesday, November 25, 2015.

Patients can expect to be offered an HIV test when receiving blood work. Vernon Jubilee Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emergency department will soon offer an HIV test routinely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Early diagnosis and treatment can reduce the number of new HIV infections in our region,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Trevor Corneil, chief medical health officer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Treatments available today can suppress HIV to undetectable levels and that greatly reduces the likelihood of transmitting the virus to others.â&#x20AC;? The expanded testing is a part of the provincial Seek and Treat for Optimal Prevention of HIV/AIDS (STOP HIV/ AIDS) program, which aims to reduce HIV transmission and improve the health outcomes of those living with HIV by offering widespread HIV testing, treatment, and early engagement into care.

Getting tested for HIV provides reassurance for those who test negative; and for those who test positive it provides an opportunity to access lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;saving treatment,â&#x20AC;? said Karlsson. In the Interior Health region, 65 per cent of people diagnosed with HIV are diagnosed long after becoming infected. As a result, their immune systems can already be quite damaged, making full recovery more difficult. Patients at IH hospitals will be offered an HIV test whenever other blood tests are ordered. As with all medical tests, the patient has the right to decline or refuse the test and only those patients able to make a decision on their own will be offered a test. Patients who test positive for HIV will be offered support and referred to appropriate care and treatment services.

Program focuses on health staff Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

Everyone has the right to a safe work environment. And that includes care-aides, nurses and staff who can sometimes face aggressive patients. Situations vary, but range from patients in fear and pain with frustrated family members in hospitals to longterm care residents reeling from a loss of independence and possibly reduced cognitive factors. These risk factors can all lead to an emotional crisis which can sometimes result in violence. But some local staff are gaining the tools to better recognize concerns and address them, along with what to do when a situation gets out of hand. SafeCareBC, a new provincial safety association, works with WorkSafe BC to reduce injury rates in the sector. “Continuing care has one of the highest rates of injury claims of any other profession in B.C.” said David Hurford, SafeCare executive director. Approximately 112,000 days are lost each year due to claims, which cost $23 million last year. It all only adds to the chronic staffing shortages. “This also has a negative impact on the quality of residential care for seniors we serve,” said Hurford. But as Steve Rookyard explained to a crowd of nearly 20

Creekside Landing’s Blair Kaufman (left) and Adam Highberg (right) watch as Rudy Benedik displays the freeze response at a Safety in Senior’s Care workshop Wednesday put on by SafeCare B.C. While fight, flight and freeze are the most common responses to aggression, staff are urged to take the flight response and walk away. at Creekside Landing Wednesday, quality care doesn’t have to be affected, and workers don’t have to be injured if the proper steps are taken. Facilitating the Safety in Senior’s Care workshop, Rookyard says there are four main components: - communication - de-escalation skills - personal safety strategies for violence prevention - behaviour care planning “We want them (workers) to be able to recognize violence and aggression,” said Rookyard.

When a situation does get to a point that a worker feels uncomfortable, they are reminded that the best solution is to walk away. “They’re not expected to put themselves in harm’s way for this job.” Unfortunately, many feel it is their job. In fact, out of all of the participants, not one said they have ever walked away from a violent situation. “A lot of staff feel they have to (deal with it),” said one care aid. Meanwhile workers are reminded that they can prevent these situations from arising by being pro-active.

Noticing when a person’s body language and tone show signs of upset or anger gives workers a chance to de-escalate the situation. For example, a worker who sees a patient who is impatiently waiting to be assisted may not have the time at that moment to help them, but can often keep them calmer by explaining that they are busy at the moment but will be with them in five, 10 or 15 minutes, and keeping them informed so they don’t feel forgotten. “Responding appropriately to somebody who is angry or upset may add to de-escala-

tion,” said Rookyard. Heritage Square nurse manager Arlette Tung understands the importance of addressing patients before they get aggressive or violent. “We want to stop it before it gets there. De-escalate it before it gets there by proper listening skills and diversion.” Tung and many of those attending the workshop will be sharing their newly learned skills with their staff to create safer work environments. “You can never know enough about violence,” said Tung.

State unveils barbecue trail SOUTH CAROLINA - South Carolina has unveiled a new barbecue trail and integrated marketing campaign as part of its efforts to promote the birthplace of barbecue” like never before. Because traditional slow-and-low barbecue is a southern culinary tradition with deep roots in South Carolina — the only state that features all four official barbecue sauces — it was identified as a natural creative hook, one that would appeal to a broad audience. The state’s new S.C. Barbecue Trail currently includes nearly 200 South Carolina restaurants, which are featured on the S.C. BBQ Trail Map. The trail and map are complemented by an interactive barbecue-themed website, SCBBQTrail.com, which features a printable version of the map, professional videos and more. Additionally, the S.C. Barbecue Trail locations are listed on the social media channel Foursquare. The trail listings are created as part of the Discover South Carolina Foursquare page to help travelers find the nearest barbecue joints as they travel in and through the state. The industry is also using the hashtag #SCBBQ to help consumers share their experiences about this Southern delight. Consumers who use Instagram are invited to search #SCBBQ to have a look at what others are posting about South Carolina barbecue or to post images of their barbecue experiences. For information, go to DiscoverSouthCarolina. com or SCBBQTrail.com.

IN FLANDERS FIELD MUSEUM PHOTO

A display at the In Flanders Field Museum demonstrates how First World War soldiers tried to protect themselves from gas attacks.

A tribute to fallen soldiers CHRIS MCBEATH Special To The Morning Star

BELGIUM - Whether you’re in Ypres for a vacation or a battlefield tour, there are two must-sees: the Menin Gate, one of Europe’s most iconic memorials to the First World War, and the In Flanders Field Museum which brings you up front and personal to the pointless carnage of that four-year, hellish struggle. That both sites should be in Ypres is entirely appropriate because through the ages, the city has always thrived with cultural, commercial and architectural wealth — all of which was razed to ashes during the Great War. As you walk the streets of Ypres, however, it’s hard to believe that every cobblestone underfoot, and every brick of the gabled storefronts and surrounding medieval buildings were painstakingly picked out of the rubble to recreate Ypres as it was. Far longer than a football field and more than 200 feet high, the Cloth Hall, which now houses the museum, is among of the most impressive. State-of-the-art touch screens, video projections, soundscapes and more than 2,000 original artifacts immerse you in a life-at-the-front experience. A microchip equipped poppy bracelet lets you choose your language preference and activates various interactive displays, including those involving the personal stories of four individuals within the larger picture of the Great War. One is a Dutch girl, six years old when the war broke out, and orphaned shortly afterwards. If you follow the museum’s prescribed route, you’ll wend your way through the war in chronological order, from the build-up of hostilities pre 1914 to eventual peace four years later. In between, you’ll be bombarded with heart-rending horror and mesmerizing visuals – trenches of mud, lice, and rats; make-shift dressing stations for the wounded; a walk along the wire of No Man’s Land that once stretched for 400 miles from Switzerland to the English Channel. A whistle blows and on never-beforeseen old footage, you’ll see soldiers scramble over the top towards you as the shells blast open the ground beneath them. Then comes a sudden quiet of the

IN FLANDERS FIELD MUSEUM PHOTO

A display at the In Flanders Field Museum portrays a horse trying to get out of mud. Christmas Eve Truce — the softness of carols – the pathos of Stille Nacht. Like the truce, it lasts but a moment in time and you are quickly drawn back to the reality, most poignantly through the words of the soldiers themselves from all sides – men from more than 30 countries fought in this war. Some accounts are chilling. For example in a letter home, Julien Grenfell writes: “Then the German behind put his head up again. He was laughing and talking. I saw his teeth glistening against my foresight, and I pulled the trigger very steady. He just gave a grunt and crumpled up ……… I adore war. It is like a picnic without the objectlessness of a picnic.” Half-a-million soldiers died in the years 1914-1918 in some of the bloodiest conflicts in history to which the region’s too numerous graveyards bear testimony. Some sites are as they were: haphazard necessities hurriedly dug 100 years ago. Others, though, continue to grow in uniform rows as freshly tilled fields constantly unearth the archeological debris of war as well as skeletal parts of unrecovered bodies. With more than 100,000 soldiers still listed as missing in action, their names are etched on many a battlefield memorial. If forensic science can give the bones an identity and therefore a grave, that sol-

dier’s name is removed from the memorial. At the Menin Gate, more than 500 names have been smoothed from the marble over the years, though the walls still carry 54,389 names of Commonwealth soldiers yet to be found. It’s an enduring legacy that fuels the bugles of The Last Post every night, without fail. Because Ypres was at the epicenter of battle, it is the deserved gateway to keeping the First World War relevant to contemporary audiences. Not only does it explore the consequences of the Great War and how we view it, it enables us all to reflect on our role in conflict today. The final exhibit is provocative: a tally of all the major wars around the world in which the Red Cross has been involved with since the War to End All Wars ended. The list is at 130, and counting. As sobering as that may be, a visit to Ypres is to witness a truly remarkable renaissance. Out of the ashes, this beautiful city has reclaimed its heritage and offers an enduring story of hope, peace and remembrance. And in visiting the In Flanders Field Museum, you begin to understand that journey. Chris McBeath is with Travel Writers Tales.

JENNIFER SMITH/MORNING STAR

2541 Pleasant Valley Boulevard, Armstrong

778-442-5455

Bethanee Prevett, 11, plays a game with her tutor Chris Panasiuk at the Vernon Learning Disabilities Association office.

Tutors make a difference JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

Seeing her test results, hearing her reading and watching her ease through assignments, you might never know that Bethanee Prevett once battled just to learn. “I struggled a lot with math, reading and writing,” said the 11-year-old Hillview student. That was until she was introduced to the Vernon Learning Disabilities Association, and her tutor Chris Panasiuk. Four years later, and Prevett still loves meeting with Panasiuk once a week (twice in the summer) to sharpen her skills. And the work is paying off. “My teacher says I’m doing really good,” beamed Prevett. “I think I’m doing pretty good because on my social studies test I got 20/25.” Prevett is one of several students who are benefiting from the instruction and experience of tutors who enjoy spending time with and helping the children. “It’s sort of a way to give back because I still really enjoy the kids,” said Panasiuk, a retired teacher from Armstrong with a background in special education.

Panasiuk is one of just two tutors at VLDA who are making a difference in the lives of kids as young as eight, all the way up to college students. But with no funding, the association relies heavily on grants and donations to keep the program running. While the tutors are paid by the family, sometimes there are cases where families cannot afford to get their children the help they need. VLDA recently celebrated Learning Disabilities Month (October) with a couple generous donations which ensured several youth don’t have to be turned away. “This is the first year and a half that we’ve been able to offer supported tutoring,” said Panasiuk. Educational liaison Naidene Shannon is grateful for such donors who are helping those who cannot afford it. “There are needy families out there,” said Shannon. Accessing VLDA also gives families an advocate in the school system, resources, diagnostic assessments, support and more.

“Some parents are just at their wit’s end, they don’t know what to do,” said Shannon. But since 1973, VLDA has been giving students, and parents, the tools they need to succeed and assisting wherever they can. “We are one of seven chapters in the province and the only one outside of the Lower Mainland other than Williams Lake,” said Shannon. Local efforts started with pediatrician Art Sovereign. “He and a group of very concerned parents are the ones that got this going,” said Shannon. “And over the years, it’s really vigilant parents that kept this going.” Those with a background in education and working with students with learning disabilities who are interested in tutoring can contact the local office at 250-542-5033 or email ldavernon@shaw.ca. Anyone who would like to become a member and/or make a donation can also contact the office, which is only open on Tuesdays between noon and 2 p.m.

Arnold named to Tory shadow cabinet Morning Star Staff

North Okanagan-Shuswap’s MP has been handed official duties. Mel Arnold has been named deputy critic for fisheries, oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard in the Conservative shadow cabinet. “I look forward to my new role and being an effective member of such a dynamic team,” said Arnold.

Rona Ambrose, Conservative interim leader, unveiled her cabinet critics Friday. “I believe the team we have assembled will be the strongest official opposition this country has ever seen,” said Ambrose. “I am proud to lead this team of talented and respected individuals from across Canada. Together, we will ask the government the tough questions and hold them to account.”

referendum Question: Are you in favour of the Regional District of North Okanagan adopting Bylaw No. 2679, being “Vernon & District Multi-Use Facility Expansion Service Establishment Bylaw No. 2679, 2015” and Bylaw No. 2680, being “Vernon & District Multi-Use Facility Expansion Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 2680, 2015” which authorizes the Regional District of North Okanagan to create a service and borrow an amount not to exceed THIRTEEN MILLION, TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($13,250,000) for the purposes of financing construction of a second ice sheet at the Vernon & District Multi-Use Facility.

DO YOU SUPPORT BORROWING $13.25 MILLION TO TWIN KAL TIRE PLACE? FAQs Why is there a referendum on this issue?

The Province of British Columbia requires public approval of longterm borrowing. We are asking the public to approve borrowing $13,250,000 to twin Kal Tire Place in Vernon to replace the existing facilities at the civic arena. Why does the Civic Arena need replacing? the rdno commissioned a comprehensive review of the facility which concluded that at almost 80 years of age, many of the facilities operating systems are at risk of imminent failure. Renovations to keep the Civic Arena functional for five years would cost $5.6 million. To keep it operational for 10 years with a 179’ x 79’ size sheet of ice is approximately $10.78 million and to upgrade the arena with a 200’ x 85’ sheet of ice would require $13.88 million. Why is twinning Kal Tire Place being recommended? - The twinned facility will save about $150,000 in operating costs as compared to the cost of operating two standalone facilities. - Expanding Kal Tire Place creates opportunities for rentals, tournaments and events (both on ice and dry floor) that are not possible with two standalone facilities. - The construction of a new facility can be completed without creating any disruption to current ice and dry floor users. What will the cost be to the taxpayer? Using an example of $350,000 as the assessed value of a home in Greater Vernon, and based only on $185,000 in improvements to the property, the cost per household to twin Kal tire Place will be approximately $24 per year for the term of the loan, which is 20 years. the debt service will be borne by all residential and business taxpayers in the city of Vernon, district of coldstream and rdno electoral areas b and c. to calculate your estimated tax increase for this facility you should look on your tax assessment notice and determine the assessment on improvements only (not the land). Do we need an additional sheet of ice?

Batting cage adds to area ball landscape “These guys are working for cost or free in some cases,” said Batchelor. Vernon Baseball will be primary user come winter, but the batting cage will be open to other groups, with adult supervision. Senior baseball and slo-pitch teams will be invited to use the cage. “This batting cage will provide the opportunity to generations of Vernon players to fully develop their skills and engage in healthy, year-round exercise, absolutely fee of charge, “said Batchelor. This building is going to be around for 50 years. “It will be a public facility where you reserve time.” The association will monitor useage by having bookings done on their website. The cage is needed since Vernon players are forced to travel to Kelowna during the development season from September to March. “We want them to become better players at home,” said Batchelor. The cage is a basic building with modest heating and lighting. Anyone wishing to donate to the project may visit: https://www. gofundme.com/ye7asra8 The fund was sitting at $2,090 as of Saturday.

Vernon Men’s Slo-Pitch League president Dave Schaefer (left) receives the 2015 Kelly Roste Memorial Award for dedication and determination from Vernon Umpires’ Association president – and 2014 winner – Chris Lynch.

Umps signal Schaefer Dave Schaefer thought his litigation skills were needed. The lawyer with the Vernon firm Davidson Pringle, and president of, and player in, the Vernon Men’s Slo-Pitch League, was lured to a meeting called by the Vernon Umpires’ Association about a league discipline issue involving Schaefer’s friend and teammate, Derek Smith. Schaefer’s presence, however, was required because the association presented him with the 2015 Kelly Roste Memorial Award for dedication and determination to softball. “They surprised the hell out of me,” laughed Schaefer, 56. “I was calling around trying to find out details about what Derek had done. “To win this is an honour.” During ball season, Schaefer is a fixture on the diamond. He has coached his son and many current men’s slo-pitch players during their days in minor baseball. He coached his daughter in Vernon Minor Fastball. Schaefer constantly pitches in to set up tournaments and, according to 2014 award recipient and Vernon Umpires Association president Chris Lynch, is a one-man show in coordinating the

men’s league. “He’s a great choice for this award,” said Lynch. He’s always appreciative of the officials and the job they have.” Said Schaefer: “We wouldn’t be able to play without them.” Schaefer thanked Lynch, Wendy Filbrandt and Nancy Agassiz with the umpires association for their help in making his role as league president a smooth one, Lisa Sousa with Greater Vernon Recreation Services for help with the fields and singled out his predecessor, Doug Ross. “Doug was president of the old Vernon Intermediate Men’s Slo-Pitch League, we were teammates and I took over the job, then two leagues merged to form one,” said Schaefer, who is still part of the longest running men’s slo-pitch franchise in Vernon, the Killer Bees, founded by the likes of Brian Barton, Dave and Doug Lemiski, Keith Richards and Clint Kanester. The trophy is given in memory of Roste, a popular fastball player and umpire who died in a December, 1998 car accident. “Kelly was a big part of our league,” said Schaefer. Past award winners include Heather Savitsky, Keith Louis, Gary Roste (Kelly’s father), Dennis Einarson, Ann Holmes, Rob Ferroux and Jim Sanderson.

First swings in the new Vernon Baseball Association indoor batting cage should come in January. Baseball president Mark Batchelor said construction began Friday thanks to support from several businesses, service groups and individuals. Price tag for the cage is $70,000. Minor baseball, with almost 400 players, used $30,000 of their own funds for the cage, adjacent to the two outdoor cages at Marshall Field. “Tim Hortons and Kal Tire are our major corporate sponsors; they gave us cash,” said Batchelor. “Parks and rec, RDNO and the city are all finding ways to help us build it which is nice. “We are making a plea to our membership to make a donation if they can. We need the people playing baseball to step up and help us.” Funtastic and Kalamalka Rotary have committed significant funds to the project. Tolko gave the association a super deal on wood, while Kevin Black, contracting manager at RONA, did likewise. Associated Ready-Mix in Armstrong, Accutruss Industries, Mertion Excavating and Braden Robertson Construction have also given baseball a break on prices.

Vernon Vortex speedskating club member Laura Hall readies for the start of a race at the recent 50th Anniversary Short Track event in Regina.

Vortex make impression Morning Star Staff

Three members of the Vernon Vortex speedskating team travelled to Regina to compete in the 50th Anniversary Short Track event. Daniel Hall and Nate Benn were entered in an age group higher than they normally compete in to make sure they had some competition they could test their skills against. Hall finished in the top-third of the higher division despite taking a penalty on a tight pass in a fastpaced 400-metre heat, and falling while moving into second place in the 2,000-metre final. Even with the fall, Hall was able to finish four, demonstrating to the Prairie crowd that he has a motor that won’t quit in the longer distances. Benn skated some fast races, making the B final in three out of four events, finishing third in the 200metre and, despite some challenges

in the 2,000-metres, he was able to finish in the middle of the pack. Noted for a blazing fast start, Benn was able to achieve personal best times in the 200- and 400-m events. Laura Hall also skated against older, more experienced competition and was able to dominate the longer distances, winning the 1,500- and 3,000m B finals with a display of tactical awareness and pysical determination. Upon their return to Vernon, the trio was able to participate in RBC Sports Day and help the Vortex club showcase its sport to more than 30 new skaters. The 90-minute session, led by coaches Tony Benn and Mike Hall, was designed to introduce the basics of the sport to people wanting to try a new activity.

Knights stop Border Bruins

Morning Star Staff

Through their first 24 Kootenay International Junior Hockey League games this season, the North Okanagan Knights scored four or more goals only three times. The Knights erupted for four in the first period Friday night. Still, it took Graham Watkins’ third consecutive goal of the game into an empty net with 53 seconds left to seal a 5-3 win over the Grand Forks Border Bruins in a penaltyfilled affair in front of 160 fans at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. The Knights (5-15-1-4) took on the Chiefs (13-7-2-0) in Kelowna Saturday. Colin Robin had three assists for the Knights, who jumped out to

a quick 2-0 lead on goals by Scott Latwat (3rd) and Layne Green (4th). Watkins, who has a team-leading 10 goals on the year, scored twice in the opening frame which saw the Knights up 4-2. The Border Bruins (11-12-0-2) got to within 4-3 late in the third before Watkins put the game away. North Okanagan went 1-9 with the powerplay, the Bruins were 0-6. Tristan Quiring picked up the win in goal, making 19 saves as North Okanagan outshot the Bruins 37-22. The victory moved the Knights into sole possession of fourth place in the Okanagan Shuswap Division, two points ahead of the idle Princeton Posse who have three games in hand.

Andrew Shortridge took the loss in net. The Vipers announced before Friday’s game the addition of 20-year-old forward Charley Michalowski to the roster.

The original owners of the Royal Knight, Nick and Evelyn will be bringing back many of their traditional Greek dishes such as roast lamb, moussaka and souvlaki that made their restaurant a popular spot. “We believe in making food we would feed our family,” said Evelyn. “Whole foods that aren’t full of preservatives and additives.” Kinney, a Vernon native, worked as a chef at the Best Western Vernon Lodge for 12 years, four of them as the executive chef, and for six years as the executive chef at the Mabel Lake Golf Club. “Nick and I both thought of this idea separately and then we discussed it together,” said Kinney. “We recognize this is wholesome food made the way it should be made.” Nick is originally from Greece but moved to Canada in 1958. He started out his career cooking under European chefs in Canada then moved on to work in restaurants in

Okanagan ambrosia growers will be asked if they continue to support a levy that helps market the apple variety around the world.

WATKINMOTORS.COM

Ambrosia growers to vote Morning Star Staff

When the ambrosia apple was first introduced to the market, it was recognized that special funds would be needed to promote the variety. Consequently, ambrosia growers voted in 2001 to introduce a special levy for marketing and research. Over the next few months, the New Tree Fruit Varieties Development Council will seek input from B.C. ambrosia growers and packers regarding the future and renewal of the current mandatory levy of $0.025 per pound of ambrosia apples. A plebiscite of ambrosia growers will be held in the spring to decide on the future of the levy. “Increased plantings mean more production and the need to introduce the variety to new

consumers and new markets,” said Bruce Currie, NTFVDC chairperson. “Promotion in those markets is costly. Growers have a vested interest to maintain a profitable return and it makes good business sense to invest funds to support that.” Funding has been provided to improve the storability of the apple and to carry out research into certain apple pests. In-store demonstrations at supermarket chains have been used yearly to encourage consumer acceptance. Social media platforms have been established to engage with consumers and there is attendance at many consumer events such as the Interior Provincial Exhibition.

‘Driving’ the computer

he obnoxious computer driver. It appears that the computer is once again poised to replace a function heretofore performed exclusively by us humans. But I wonder if the selfdriving software developers will be able to replicate some of the less endearing habits of the flesh and blood driver. Take for example the middle finger salute performed in situ or with the left arm Vernon PC Users’ Club extended fully out the window, allowing the driver to make his or her point more convincingly. Surely a feature could be incorporated into the driverless car that upon voice command from any

Computer question

of the now passengers in the vehicle would result in an artificial arm popping out to simulate this popular gesture. For greater emphasis a right arm could be available as an after-market option. Another handy feature would be a brake light tapping button on the dashboard that would cause the brake lights to come on and off, but actually have no effect on the brakes. And let’s not forget the “P” letter in the rear window of every driverless car warning other real drivers that they are following a “Perfect Driver” who has found ways to remain obnoxious. The Vernon PC Users’ Club meets the second Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Schubert Centre in the cafeteria. Call Betty at 542-7024 or Grace at 549-4318 for more information.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder FIT IS FANTASTIC, BETTER THAN POINTS Knute Rockne was a famous football player and coach at Notre Dame. He said, “Build up your weaknesses until they become your strong points.” At the bridge table, though, weak hands in terms of points can be strong because of their distribution, particularly when they have a good fit with partner. In today’s deal, do you agree with North’s oneheart opening? Given that you have bid one heart and partner has responded two diamonds, natural and game-forcing, after West sneaks in a two-spade overcall, what should you do next? West’s two-spade intervention was debatable,

given that he knew the opponents had his side heavily outgunned, but it worked well here, because East raised to four spades. Many experts sitting North would have opened two hearts, planning, come what may, to rebid in diamonds to show the 6-5 with limited point-count. Now, though, despite only nine points, North had a super hand. He could have quietly raised to three diamonds, but he reasonably preferred a jump to four clubs. This was a splinter bid, showing a big diamond fit and a singleton (or void) in clubs. Then, over four spades, South, with such poor trumps, might have signed off in five diamonds; but with two aces, it was reasonable to pass, inviting a slam. However, North

settled for five diamonds. South, who was happy to lose one trick in each minor, won with her spade ace and played a diamond to dummy’s ace. When the king dropped, declarer cashed the diamond queen, played a heart to her ace, and returned the heart jack. When the queen appeared, South claimed all 13 tricks.

Opening weekend at Silver Star Mountain Resort and the Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre brought a record-breaking 79 skiers and coaches from around the province. They were attending the annual fall snow camp hosted by Cross Country B.C. All three provincial teams – ski team, development squad and talent squad – took part. “This is the first time on snow for most of our athletes which makes for a lot of excitement, but they are encouraged to ski slowly and smoothly to adjust to early season conditions and the higher altitude,” said Chris Manhard, CCBC provincial coach. The camp consisted of long, slow skis arond the mountain, as well as team sprints, strength training, psychology and nutrition presentations, and even early morning jobs. The camp is to work on ski technique as well as fitness and strength. “I feel very fortunate to have a training camp like this right in my backyard because I was able to get lots of good quality training with my fellow teammates,” said Vernon’s Hannah Mehain, B.C. ski team member and a national champion. “We had excellent early snow conditions and access to lots of trails at Silver Star and Sovereign.” Added Dudley Coulter, CCBC’s athlete development co-ordinator: “Sovereign Lake and Silver Star usually provide the best early season conditions in

Canada.” Race season gets underway Nov. 29 where a Teck Coast Cup will take place at Whistler. Vernon will host the first race of the season Dec. 12 and 13 with a Haywood NorAm, which will welcome Canada’s best cross-country skiers to B.C.

Zack Casagrande, 10, looks at his dad Mike with the, “we should get this” look at the Vernon Snowmobile Club’s annual Snow Show at Kal Tire Place.

JCI Vernon is getting ready to host the sixth annual Alternative Gift Fair. The event runs Saturday, Nov. 28 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Fairfield Inn and Suites and it offers holiday shoppers an easy way to buy gifts of charitable donations and to support their favorite causes. “This year we are seeing some previous participating organizations return, plus we have had interest from some new groups,” said Jamie Bisset, co-chairperson. “These groups represent a variety of causes, allowing you to choose meaningful gifts for family and friends.” In the past two years, the JCI Vernon Alternative Gift Fair has raised more than $10,000 for local organizations. Representatives from each not-forprofit organization must be present at the fair, and this is a great way to provide education about current projects or programs that each organization offers. “By shopping at this event, you are able to give back to the community in a meaningful way,” said Amanda Wilms, co-chairperson. “It’s also an easy way to get your holiday shopping done.” The participating organizations are the SPCA, Clean Water for Haiti, the Community Dental Access Centre; the JCI Helping Hands Project, Junction Literacy, Kindale, the Mental Illness Family Support Centre, New Hope for Widow/ers, Road Home Rescue and Safekeeping Society, Sit Pretty Pit Rescue Society, Sleeping Children Around the World, Special Olympics, Teens Count Too, the Upper Room Mission, Vernon Pet Soup Kitchen, Transition House, the Wellspring Foundation for Education and the Zimbabwe Project.

In an effort to shift your perspective towards insects, Dr. Jeremy McNeil will make the case about their crucial role in the planet’s ecosystem when he visits Okanagan College’s Vernon campus. Part of the Science in Society Speaker Series, McNeil’s public talk titled, “Are humans really smarter than insects?” will take place Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at the college’s lecture theatre. In this talk, the Western University biology professor will draw comparisons Jeremy McNeil between insects and humans to establish the fascinating common ground we share, such as making paper, building solar panels, as well as how both species apply the same physics principles used in snorkeling and scuba diving. Admission to the lecture is $7 in advance or $10 at the door. For advanced tickets, call the Okanagan Science Centre at 250-545-3644. For more information, visit www.okanagansisss.wordpress.com.

ers waiting outside she would not be making any comment on what had just transpired. The outcome of the meeting, weeks in planning, left other board members frustrated, including Kelowna director Colin Basran, who asked Hanson directly why she did not bring her lawyer with her. Her response was “no comment.” “This process has completely gone off the rails,” said an exasperated Basran. Given admitted the workshop held in May was not a formally constituted in-camera meeting. That could be why Hanson felt free to talk to Summerland about what was said, but until she speaks publicly, it is not known what her reasoning was. Summerland, who was also at Thursday’s RDCO special board meeting, left quickly, refusing to speak to the media. Hanson had at least one supporter on the board who was willing to speak. Carson said he was “disappointed the issue has come to this point.” Carson argued it should have been dealt with by Given in a meeting with Hanson and Summerland. Later, Given said she

did not deal with it alone because the board felt it should deal with the matter as a group. If the board rules now that Hanson did divulge confidential information, in addition to publicly censuring her, the sanctions could include ordering her to publicly apologize to Summerland and removing her from her board representations for 12 months.

Lumby school seeks help making swags Morning Star Staff

Lumby residents can embrace the Christmas spirit while supporting local students. There will be a holiday cedar swag building party today at J.W. Inglis Elementary School from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. “We are hoping to have community members, families of the school, the principal, teachers, the mayor, councillors and the local RCMP attend our fundraising event,” said Christine Lishman, with the school’s parents advisory committee. The PAC has been commissioned to create 80 cedar swags which will be displayed in the community. In return, the village will donate $2,000 to go towards home reading books for the school. Local logging contractors have contributed the cedar boughs for the project. Hot chocolate and popcorn will be provided during the event today.

Make it ahead to avoid Christmas chaos Cathi Litzenberger Morning Star Columnist

Here we are, 34 days ‘til Christmas and because of this column, I’m forced to give it a thought. I know there are folks out there who are finished their shopping already and some are even putting the Christmas tree up, but that’s not me! At the rate I’m going this year, we may get our dock in and the summer stuff put away by December; that’s my goal after all. Whatever happened to fall? For many of you, myself included, who might like to lessen the stress of food preparation during the holidays, I suggest doing as much as possible ahead of time. There are countless recipes out there that can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen until you need them. Today I’m offering four you might like to try. The first is a lovely Christmas cake that only makes one; yes you read correctly: one cake. The second is a good make-ahead mashed potato dish. Following that is a great recipe where crispy tater-tots, bacon and eggs come together in one amazing and easy breakfast bake! And finally a deliciously moist alternative to the traditional pudding, and the kids won’t be complaining about the lumps of fruit or nuts. Caramel sauce and whipped cream make it a great dessert during the holidays. Best Christmas Fruitcake 1/8 cup chopped maraschino cherries 1/8 cup chopped dried or candied mango 1/4 cup dried cranberries 1/4 cup dried currants 2 tablespoons chopped candied lemon 1/4 cup dark rum 1/2 cup butter 1/4 cup packed brown sugar 1 egg 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/8 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 cup unsulfured molasses 2 tablespoons milk 1/4 cup chopped pecans 1/4 cup dark rum, divided Start by soaking the cherries, mango, cranberries, currants and lemon by covering them in a bowl with 1/4 cup of rum. Cover tightly and let the mixture sit for at least 24 hours in room temperature. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Butter a 6×3 inch round pan (or a small loaf pan if you don’t have a round one) and line with parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg until nicely mixed together.

It’s time to get that fruit cake started — for many families, it’s one of the sure signs of Christmas. Mix together flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon and add to the butter and sugar mixture in three batches, alternately adding molasses and milk. Stir in soaked fruit and chopped nuts. Transfer batter into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then sprinkle with 2 tablespoons rum. Cut out one piece parchment paper and one piece cheesecloth, each large enough to wrap around the cake. Moisten cheesecloth with 1 tablespoon rum. Arrange cheesecloth on top of parchment paper, and unmold cake onto it. Sprinkle top and sides of cake with remaining rum. Wrap the cheesecloth closely to the surface of the cake, then wrap with paper. Place in an airtight tin. This cake is great if you age it for a while — you could make it as far ahead as 10-12 weeks — but it will be just as good in a week! Creamy Make-ahead Mashed Potatoes 3 pounds potatoes (about 9 medium), peeled and cubed 6 bacon strips, chopped 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup sour cream 1/2 cup butter, cubed 1/4 cup 2% milk 1-1/2 teaspoons onion powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese 3 green onions, chopped Place potatoes in a Dutch oven; add water

to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, 10-15 minutes or until tender. Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels with a slotted spoon; drain. Drain potatoes; return to pan. Mash potatoes, gradually adding cream cheese, sour cream and butter. Stir in milk and seasonings. Transfer to a greased 13x9-inch baking dish; sprinkle with cheese, green onions and bacon. Refrigerate, covered, up to 1 day (or freeze for up to three weeks). Preheat oven to 350 F. Remove potatoes from refrigerator and let stand while oven heats (if frozen, let stand til almost thawed). Bake, uncovered, 40-50 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 10 servings. Impossibly Easy Bacon, Egg & Tot Bake (with make-ahead directions) 1 cup Original Bisquick™ mix 2 cups milk 1/4 teaspoon pepper 4 eggs 1 lb. bacon, crisply cooked and chopped 6 cups frozen crispy golden tater-tots 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (4 oz.) 1 tablespoon sliced green onion (1 medium) Ketchup, if desired Heat oven to 400 F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray. In large bowl, stir Bisquick mix, milk, pepper and eggs until blended; pour into baking dish, and top with half of the bacon. Place frozen potato nuggets in single layer on ungreased large cookie sheet with

sides. Place both the baking dish and cookie sheet in oven. Bake 20 minutes. Place potato nuggets evenly on top of Bisquick bake; top with cheese and remaining bacon. Bake 10 to 15 minutes longer or until knife inserted in centre comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes. Top with green onion. Serve with ketchup. Make-ahead directions: Make Bisquick bake as directed. Cover and refrigerate up to 12 hours. Keep potato nuggets frozen until ready to bake. Uncover, and bake as directed in steps 3 and 4. Sticky Toffee Christmas Pudding 3/4 cups packed pitted dates (about 10 oz.) 2 cups water 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened 1 cup granulated sugar 3 large eggs Caramel sauce 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1/2 cup whipping cream 1/4 cup butter 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Preheat oven to 375 F and butter and flour an 8-inch square baking pan (2 inches deep), knocking out excess flour. Coarsely chop dates and in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart saucepan simmer dates in water, uncovered, 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in baking soda. (Mixture will foam.) Let mixture stand 20 minutes. While mixture is standing, into a bowl sift together flour, baking powder, ginger and salt. In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, beating after each addition until just combined. Add date mixture and with a wooden spoon stir batter until just combined. Pour batter into baking pan and set pan in a larger baking pan. Add enough hot water to larger pan to reach halfway up sides of smaller pan and bake in middle of oven until a tester comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove smaller pan from water bath and cool pudding to warm on a rack. Caramel sauce: stir the sugar, cream, butter and vanilla in a medium saucepan over medium heat for 5 minutes or until smooth. Cut pudding into wedges and pour over the caramel sauce. Serve with cream or ice-cream. Pudding freezes well.

Spend a snow day taking in the art atop Silver Star Visitors can view the works of 25 B.C. and Alberta artists at Gallery Odin’s winter exhibition Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

As skiers hit the slopes for the soft opening at Silver Star Mountain this weekend, Gallery Odin is about to open its doors to all that nature brings this time of year. Guests of the gallery will be able to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors – with the hill’s recent scattering of sparkling, powdery snow – and also see spectacular scenery indoors in the warm confines of the home-based gallery located on Silver Star’s knoll. Inside Odin’s largest space, the B.C. gallery, are paintings, sculptures and etchings on canvas, soapstone and mammoth tusk by artists from all over the province, said Maria Molnar, who runs the gallery with her husband Kalman Molnar. “Kal and I are privileged to put this together. We have so much fun and pleasure doing this,” said Maria. “We love seeing the response from locals and visitors from all over the world, saying they never imagined to see such high calibre art on a mountaintop.” Although working with 25 artists can be a challenge, the Molnars

say it is worth every minute when they see the result of the whole show coming together. One artist who has captured particular interest from visitors near and afar is Penticton’s Karel Doruyter, who works in what he calls his acrylic “build-up” technique. He adds numerous layers, and lays in shapes to his canvas, so that the finished product has a three-dimensional look. “He is showing four B.C. scenes that make you feel that you can just step through the frame and you are in the nature/forest,” said Maria. Joining Doruyter in showing the vast beauty of the B.C. landscape are Penticton’s Glenn Clark, Vernon’s Destanne Norris, and Prince Rupert artist Edward Epp. For viewers interested in abstract landscapes, Lavington artist Barry Rafuse is showing his luminous watercolours, while Canmore’s Dana Roman and the Columbia Valley’s Lynne Grillmair have new colourful mixed media and acrylics on display. Award winning painter Jerry Markham, who lives on the westside of Okanagan Lake, is also showing some of his landscapes. “Jerry paints snow in all its glory and one painting shows a brook with sun drenched snowy pine trees,” said Maria. Also on the walls are the figurative works of Kelowna’s Karen Rempel and Julia Trops, while Vernon’s Wendy Hart Penner continues to captivate with her detailed still lifes of fruit and sunflowers.

Lake Country’s Patricia ennis shows her stained glass panel, Wild Horses Resting, which is part of the winter exhibition opening at Gallery odin on silver star mountain this week. Displaying three-dimensional pieces are Shuswap artist Sharda Murray-Kieken, with her vibrant fused-glass panels and bowls, and renowned Vernon sculptor Deborah Wilson, who recently won a gold and silver medal from the prestigious International Jade Artists Exhibition in Suzhou, China. She is exhibiting her stone carved fruits of the Okanagan. Fellow sculptor Iean Dobson

is showing his cheeky gargoyles, while a new artist to the galley, Lake Country’s Patricia Ennis, is displaying her wild horses in stained glass. Other artists in the exhibition include Charlene Woodbury, Elizabeth Moore, Julie Elliot, Leonhard Epp, Todd White, Peter Lawson, Lisa Prowse, Al Scott, Dawn Piche, and Ginny Hall. “They are all showing very

original, unique and creative works, that are worth exploring,” said Maria. Gallery Odin’s winter exhibition opens this week with two receptions, Thursday from 6 to 10 p.m. and Saturday from 2 to 6 p.m. The gallery is located at 215 Odin Rd. Regular winter season hours are Wednesdays and Saturdays, 1 to 6 p.m. or call 250503-0822.

Another Christmas dinner ruined love the Coopers

ll Charlotte (Diane Keaton) wants is to have her family together for Christmas. If she’s not careful she’ll get what she wants. On the role call with her husband Sam (John Goodman) are Charlotte’s spinster sister Emma (Marisa Tomei) and their dad Bucky (Alan Arkin), who has brought his depressed, wouldbe girlfriend, Ruby (Amanda Seyfried), 52 years his junior. Also coming to dinner are Sam and Charlotte’s playwright daughter Eleanor (Olivia Wilde) and unemployed, divorced son Hank (Ed Helms), with his three kids. We say, “It’s a pretty package that might disappoint when unwrapped.” TAYLOR: Sometimes it’s easy to think you know what you’re in for when you go to a Christmas movie: stress, arguing, being stupid to each other, feeling sorry, loving one another, usually something is set on fire and someone is mildly injured. Grandma has too much ‘nog and eats the gingerbread house. A busy person finds the time, a mean person realizes they could be nicer, a brat behaves. All you need now is an ensemble cast. This one is pretty good. Alas, not all the pieces are falling into place in Love the Coopers without having also fallen in previous American holiday movies. HOWE: I really enjoyed Love the Coopers, but I agree with you that it has all of the above points mentioned.

Charlotte (Diane Keaton), left, and Sam (John Goodman) invite the extended dysfunctional family to Christmas dinner in Love the Coopers. I would also agree that a movie like this should be awful, but Coopers has such a strong cast they pull it off. Keaton plays the role of mother/ grandmother with ease, Taylor and Howe but then again she has been playing these same roles for the last 20 years. Goodman always gives 110 per cent whatever roles he tackles, be it on TV or on the big screen. I personally think he should do more because he’s a great actor. TAYLOR: I love Goodman and he’s fine, even when he’s being schmaltzy, but the clichés just seemed to keep rolling in. Everyone lying to each other about everything is maddeningly common in comedy. Sometimes it’s funny, it just wasn’t in this case. Their foibles were sometimes funny. I smiled

a bit and the audience was laughing, but the overall actions distracted from my ability to like the characters. HOWE: I really liked that each part of their lives were shown in their own little story, coming together for a final climax in the last 10-to-15 minutes. Each scene showed a glimpse into their lives, who they are or what they have become, going from childhood to adulthood, and the decisions that they make shaping their lives. It may be a schmaltzy movie but it’s a good schmaltzy movie that made me laugh when needed and maybe, just maybe tugged at the heart strings a little bit. TAYLOR: There were moments where the filmmakers seemed to want to deliver something artful. Their method almost worked. I guess my main complaint is with that we’ve already seen everything that’s in this movie. – Howe gives Love the Coopers 3 pendants out of 5. – Taylor gives it 2.5 censored trailers out of 5.

Dr. Jeremy McNeil

Professor, Department of Biology Western University

Although insects are ubiquitous and have a crucial role in the balance of the planet’s ecosystems, many humans fear or have an aversion to them. In this presentation, Dr. McNeil will compare insects to humans and show that they have a lot in common, such as making paper, building solar panels and “houses,” and applying the same physics principles for snorkeling and scuba diving.

Chorus celebrates 35 years in Vernon Submitted to The Morning Star

The Vernon Kalamalka chapter of Sweet Adelines International is about to

WATKINMOTORS.COM

share 35 years of memories when it gives a performance at the Halina Centre Nov. 29. The choir’s history goes back to the early 1970s when a group of Vernon women met to sing barbershop harmony as a prospective chapter of Sweet

Adelines International. After years of hard work, recruitment and refining their art, 37 members were granted chapter charter in August, 1980. Their first appearance on stage was at a regional contest with Sweet Adeline members from the U.S. at the Seattle Opera House in spring, 1981. The following year saw regional boundaries realigned and the Vernon group became part of a newly-formed and only all-Canadian region, featuring members from B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan. After several submissions, the name Vernon Kalamalka was approved by the group. Through the decades, the chorus has appeared on many stages, both in competition and at the Vernon Recreation Centre and the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. Members have also worked on various fundraising projects.

HEALTH TIP

Adelines to sing Continued from B6

They have performed at special celebrations, seniors’ care facilities, and major events such as the B.C. Summer and Winter Games, and the Olympic Torch Relay. Along the way, the chapter has received awards such as second place for small chorus in Vancouver in 1995. Although small in numbers, VKC recently received a standing ovation for their regional appearance in Vancouver. Other special memories include the group’s invitation to the Austrian Alps Music Festival in 1997, the stage show, A Century of Song, in 2000, and the combined performance with the Okanagan Harmony Chorus and other Sweet Adelines chapters at three concerts in the Okanagan. This year also marks the 70th anniversary of Sweet Adelines International. The singers will share these and other memories at their performance Sunday, Nov. 29 at 2:30 p.m. in the Halina Centre (Vernon Rec. Centre) Everyone is welcome to join the group for refreshments and door prizes.

brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist

Currently, in Canada, the maximum daily dose of acetaminophen is set at 400 mg. However, Health Canada may change this to a lower maximum dose due to the potential of liver injury caused by taking too much of the drug. There are 475 preparations containing acetaminophen in Canada and most are sold without a prescription. So it would be easy to get over the current limit. If you have ever had a colonoscopy, you’ll have had to suffer through the bowel-cleansing routine of fasting and drinking 4 litres of solution to clean you out. Not much fun! In the U.S., work is being done on an edible bowel cleansing product in which the laxative is incorporated into foods like puddings, pasta salad and smoothies … a great improvement on the current method. It’s well-known that the omega-3 fatty acids found in salmon are good for our heart. It’s recommended we have two servings (3.5 oz.) twice a week. Canned salmon is as good as the fresh fish to satisfy this advice. It’s low in mercury content, a contaminant found in some fish. If you have celiac’s disease (about 1 in 133 Canadians have) and are sensitive to gluten, let us know. We can flag your prescription file and check the contents of your medication for gluten content before we fill your prescription. It’s part of our job as your pharmacist. We will go that extra mile for you. It’s part of professional pharmacy service.

Robert Gerald Fox

The children of Robert Gerald Fox, formerly of Vernon, BC, sadly announce the passing of their Dad on November 11, 2015. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gerryâ&#x20AC;? is survived by his sons, Melvin (Jan) and Larry (Diane) Fox, and his daughter, Cherry (Rob) Inglis, six grandchildren and thirteen great grandchildren. He is pre-deceased by his loving wife, Clara, in 2010 , and his son, Lathen â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sidâ&#x20AC;?, in 1998. Gerry and Clara lived in Vernon, from 1970 to 2010. Gerry moved to Merritt, BC, to live with his daughter, after losing Clara, his lifelong friend and love of his life.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gerryâ&#x20AC;? was born May 28, 1925 on a farm near Headlands, SK, the eldest of four children. Gerry enlisted in the Canadian Army in 1943, was called to active duty in 1944, but due to a bout of pneumonia, was unable to go overseas. By the time he recuperated, World War II was over and in 1946, Gerry was given an honorable discharge. After graduating from grade 8, Gerry found work at jobs which included farmhand, logger, petty officer on a hydrographical survey ship and a locomotive fireman on the Canadian National Railroad. In 1948 he married Clara in Prince George, BC. In 1951, he was hired by BC Hydro, his employer for the next 34 years, until his retirement. Gerry was fascinated by trains, airplanes and the stars and universe. He studied and obtained his pilotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licence in 1956. Gerry was a jack-of-all-trades. He could build a house, re-build a motor, or do auto-body work; he built everything from radio control airplanes to welded copper mural clocks. He spent hours reading non-fiction books; he loved technology, and in his elder years, Gerry searched the internet and kept in touch with his family on his computer and iPad.

Bill is survived by his wife Ruth; one daughter, Veronica (Tony); one son, Barry (Carolyn); two grandsons, Craig and Scott; two nieces, Anne and Brenda; and one cousin, Joan.
