FIRST SNOW

RCMP request officers

JENNIFER SMITH/ MORNING STAR

Robert Brown shovels his Harwood-area home driveway Tuesday morning following the first snowfall of the year Monday evening, which amounted to a few centimetres for some North Okanagan residents, and no more than a skiff for others, but made for some slick conditions.

Vernon’s police force insists it’s dedicated to public safety, but that requires expanded resources. While providing city council with an update on aggressive panhandling and other concerns downtown Monday, the RCMP made the pitch for two additional officers in the 2016 budget so the two-person downtown enforcement unit can be resurrected. “The unit is extremely valuable to us,” said Sgt. Kara Triance. Among the duties of the unit are providing a physical presence downtown, gathering information that may help with investigations and developing relationships with people downtown. Each officer comes with a cost of about $165,000 a year, but Coun. Scott Anderson wants the expenditure added to the budget. “We need to make the city as safe as possible,” he said. Currently, there are foot patrols downtown, with the primary focus being 30th Avenue. “Police officers are taking action as required,” said Triance of enforcing the law. “We have a safe downtown. I frequent downtown with my family and I’m committed to policing that area.” Triance’s presentation was embraced by civic leaders. “The community needs to know that the city and police are on it (safety) and taking a proactive approach,” said Coun. Dalvir Nahal. Coun. Juliette Cunningham believes that enforcement is not always the appropriate response when dealing with people. “I appreciate the compassion seen from the RCMP,” she said.

Doctor shortage closes clinic JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

Wait times to see a doctor in Vernon could become significantly longer with the closure of a walk-in clinic. The Vernon Family Doctors Medical Clinic in the Fruit Union Plaza will be closing permanently on March 19, 2016. A doctor shortage is the cause of the closure, which the clinic has been trying to address for years. But having been unsuccessful, the decision was made to not renew the lease when it is up at the end of March. “We have, over the years, had a significant decline in doctors,” said Dr. Jomar Barnard, medical director at the Vernon Family Doctors Medical Clinic. The clinic currently has an average of about 20 doctors, compared to five years ago when it was operating with about 34. “A lot of doctors have moved away from the walk-in setting,” said Barnard, also noting a large physician population which is moving into retirement. “At the same time we see this large population growing.” Despite efforts to entice doctors to come work a few shifts and even advertising to physicians in Lake Country and Armstrong, there hasn’t been much response. “It’s not a unique situation just with Vernon, it’s across Canada,” said Barnard of a shortage, which includes specialists. At times, the doctor shortage has even forced

The Vernon Family Doctors Walk In Clinic is closing its doors in March 2016. the clinic to turn patients away. “It has been closed up early or even some full days where it was closed.” With the clinic closing its doors for good in just four months, there could be a strain on the existing clinics as well as Vernon Jubilee Hospital. “On average, we see anywhere from 80 to 100 patients a day,” said Barnard. “We do expect that this may increase demand in the emergency room.” The clinic is urging patients to seriously consider their need, and if it is not an emergency that they visit their family doctor or another clinic. The clinic is one of three in Vernon serving North Okanagan residents. The other clinics are Gartree Medical Clinic in the Vernon Square Mall and the North Okanagan Medical Clinic inside the Real Canadian Superstore.

“We don’t know yet if those clinics will be able to increase their manpower,” said Barnard, who has his own practice and also works at the Superstore clinic. Although it is a private clinic that is closing, Interior Health is keeping an eye on the situation and how it could affect local health care. “It’s not clear whether the clinic closure will have any impact on IH facilities or services, but we are in the process of evaluating that,” an Interior Health representative told The Morning Star. The wait times at the clinics are also expected to grow from the already lengthy times. “It’s not uncommon that people will be waiting an hour to two hours,” said Barnard. “It (closure) may significantly increase that.” The clinic has been watching how similar clinic closures have affected other communities, such as Kamloops. A closure there forced the remaining clinic to fill up with registrants often by 10 a.m., said Barnard. “We prefer not to run it that way.” But he does advise those who need to visit a walk-in clinic to come early in the morning, and also to consider whether their needs could wait to be addressed in a week or two by their family doctor. Those who have medical records at the clinic can request their charts before April 1, 2016. After that, they will be held in trust by Dr. David Screen and can be requested from his office (located at 200-3207 30th Ave.). “We are required to keep charts for 15 years,” said Barnard.

Community support a dream come true Morning Star Staff

A gala evening was an overwhelming success. The Kalamalka Rotary Club’s Dream Auction raised more than $204,000 at the Best Western Vernon Lodge Saturday. “This year, we had more than $266,000 donated to the Dream Auction, an all-time record for donations as we celebrate the 31st Dream Auction,” said Neil Perry, event chairperson. “The success is due to the enthusiastic donors who support the effort every year and of course the wonderful people who bid on these items to help us raise money.” In 31 years, the Dream Auction has raised more than $3 million. “The money raised at the Dream Auction enables Kal Rotary to support dozens of worthy community projects each year,” said Mary Jackson, club president. “Dream Auction has developed

our good work as a direct result of the great support of our community.”

Energetic brothers Don and Peter Raffan (Valley Auction of Spallumcheen) kept the night moving by calling bidding on 51 large live items. There were another 500 silent auction packages upstairs. Mayor Akbal Mund, VernonMonashee MLA Eric Foster, Vernon Vipers’ owner Duncan Wray, ex-NHLer and Team Canada world junior gold medalist Jason Podollan, Salmon Arm Silverbacks’ GM Troy Mick and former Canadian downhill skier Murray Smith were among the celebrities in the packed ballroom. Mund successfully bid $7,250 on the Detroit Triple Play. The package includes a Red WingsPhiladelphia Flyers game and meet and greet with Detroit head coach Jeff Blashill and GM Ken Holland (Vernon born and raised). Mund also receives five Tigers baseball games, including three versus the New York Yankees, and two

Pistons basketball tilts. The Triple Play also features eight nights accommodation at the Motorcity Casino & Hotel. Jody Lambert, of Geo Tech Drilling, shelled out $10,000 for a deep sea fishing excursion to Sandspit, while Bruce Shepherd and group (Edwards Jones) cut a cheque for $13,000 on the five-star Kal Tire fishing and golfing trip to Campbell River. The package is designed for six people and includes two nights at the world-famous Painter’s Lodge and two nights at gorgeous Crown Isle Golf Resort. Kal Tire flies the group on their luxury jet. Lead singers Anita Baturin and Paul May of the fabulous Legendary Lake Monsters had the dance floor sizzling with their awesome array of music. Community groups can begin applying for grants in January. Full details are available at www.kalrotary.org under the funding tab.

Local agency confident refugees aren’t a risk Compassion, and not security, is the priority as Vernon prepares to welcome refugees fleeing civil war. Members of the newly formed North Okanagan Refugee Committee were before Vernon council Monday, providing details about their group and the goal of bringing families here. “The committee wants to support refugees from around the world but Syria has been a catalyst,” said Annette Sharkey, with the Social Planning Council. Some concerns have arisen across Canada about security, particularly since the Paris terrorist attacks, but Sharkey says any Syrians coming to Vernon will be prescreened in refugee camps. “If the west closes its doors to refugees, it’s a win for the terrorists. It’s in their best interest to shut down the refugee program.” Many of the Syrians have been in refugee camps in Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan for months if not years.

NOV 24TH - NOV 30TH

“If the west closes its doors to refugees, it’s a win for the terrorists.” — Sharkey

The federal government has indicated that those selected to come to Canada will be women, children and families, not single men. Coun. Juliette Cunningham plays down the perceived threat refugees pose. “It’s concerning to see what’s happening on social media - the fear-mongering and rhetoric,” she said. Mayor Akbal Mund also shares that view. “They want to find a better place for their families. They will be sensational for our community and give back,” he said. The committee will provide resources to

local groups and residents wanting to sponsor refugees. “Our community has stepped to the plate many times,” said Carol Wutzke, of Vernon Immigrant Services, referring to other refugees who have come to Vernon including Kosovars and Vietnamese. A website has been launched to provide more details including information on the sponsorship process, a list of local sponsoring agencies, how to donate both locally and internationally, and where to sign up to volunteer, once refugee families arrive. Vernon Immigrant Services will co-ordinate volunteers and in-kind donations for the various sponsoring groups, as well as provide provide settlement services, English classes and employment counselling to refugees. Among those moving ahead to sponsor refugees are the Armstrong community, Trinity United Church, All Saints Anglican Church and East Hill Community Church. East Hill Community Church has previously welcomed individuals from Africa

and Asia. “Our experience has been profound as we support people from many cultures, backgrounds and faiths to rebuild their lives and make Vernon their home,” said Jake Spoor, with the church. Sharkey says there are long-term benefits if refugees come to the North Okanagan, particularly for the economy. “We will have to rely on immigration for the skills gap. We do need families,” she said. For more information, go to www.norc.ca

Dairy Queen owner Sheldon Aldrich signs up in favour of a yes vote in Saturday’s referendum to borrow $13 million to build a twin ice sheet at Kal Tire Place. Monday by representatives of 10 Vernon user groups and businesses, all speaking in favour of the referendum passing. “As a business owner, I understand the balance between repairs and replacement,” said Sheldon Aldrich, owner of Dairy Queen and father to kids who use the local arenas. “There comes a time when even the best equipment needs to be replaced. On a personal nature, my children are in sports now but they may not get the chance to use the replacement arena if it’s approved but I want to pay it forward. “Someone had the foresight to create the arenas we have now so my kids could play and they’ve enjoyed it immensely.” Trevor Rasmussen, president of the Vernon Vortex Speed Skating

We believe that quality truly counts. DID YOU KNOW there are different types of beef roast? If you have had a problem cooking roasts, it may be you are selecting the wrong roast for the cooking application. Pot Roasts include Chuck, Cross Rib, or substitute oven roasts such as Sirloin Tip, Outside/Inside Round or Eye of Round. They are graded, aged, moist with marbling, heavy grain, tend to fall apart easily, flavourful and are best cooked slowly with wet heat. Here is a recipe for POT ROAST that will ensure a tender, juicy roast every time:

It worked well for myself and I encourage the yes vote.” The replacement arena will benefit so much more than just minor hockey players, said Grant. “It will benefit user groups of all rink sports, all ages, all genders,” he said. “The spinoffs benefit the businesses in town and contribute to our economy. Most of all, it will benefit every taxpayer.” Voting takes place Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. in Vernon, Coldstream and the BX.

lion borrowed toward twinning Kal Tire Place as a replacement for the Civic if the vote passes. The group held a press conference Monday at Kal Tire Place to encourage people to get out and vote. “I represent a large group of Vernon and area voters made up of arena user groups, local businesses and taxpayers that know how much financial sense this new arena makes. We want to emphasize the importance of a yes vote,” said Grant. “We believe the facts speak for themselves. Facts such as the Civic Arena is worn out. It can’t be repaired for less money than building a replacement rink attached to Kal Tire Place. And I’d like to emphasize this is not a new rink. It’s a replacement rink for one that’s falling apart.” It has been stated that should something happen to the Civic Arena, up to 40 per cent of kids, adults and seniors – male and female – would not be able to participate in their event at the rate they do now. For the average taxpayer, said the group, the replacement rink would cost about one cup of coffee – $3 – per month. Grant was joined

Mayor frustrated with return of marina debate RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s mayor is frustrated with the city being caught in the middle of a neighbourhood dispute. Representatives for the Outback Resort sought support from council Monday for a marina in South Bay, while the Friends of South Bay were before council two weeks ago in opposition to a marina. “This is the most contentious issue we’ve had,” said Akbal Mund of his first term in

“Where’s the end to this?” — Akbal Mund

office. The matter has come before council again because the Outback has applied to the provincial government to move a marina from Quarry Bay to South Bay. “Everyone is looking to us to make the deci-

sion,” said Mund, adding that the city stated in 2004 that it was opposed to a South Bay marina and that motion was reaffirmed again in 2011. “Where’s the end to this?” The Outback wants to construct a 72-slip

marina in South Bay because the existing facility in Quarry Bay is damaged frequently by storms. “We’ve had boats sink,” said Sidney Hanson, with the Outback marina committee. As a result of that, most boaters are using buoys to moor their boats. Hanson said many of the buoys are far offshore which makes access difficult during storms and boats trying to reach the buoys are coming into conflict

with swimmers and kayakers. According to the Outback, South Bay would be ideal for a marina because, unlike Quarry Bay, there is no kokanee habitat. “We’d separate the

swimmers so they have their area and there would be no treacherous transportation of families to the buoys,” said Hanson, adding that a marina would not conflict with other property owners at

South Bay. The Outback consists of 161 individual properties. “We are asking you to support us and allow us to move forward,” Hanson told city council.

Enderby church rallies behind refugees Morning Star Staff

The local response to the global refugee crisis is expanding. Enderby’s St. Andrew’s United Church has joined forces with Vernon’s Trinity United to sponsor a refugee family. “Once a family has been sponsored, our formal commitment is for one year and funds will be required to support their every need, including housing and groceries,” said Rev. Gloria Morgan, with St. Andrew’s.

“We are hoping Enderby will be able to help with clothing, furniture and household goods.” It’s not known when a refugee family may arrive in Vernon. “We will continue to keep Enderby posted as this project progresses,” said Morgan. For Enderby residents interested in providing donations, contact standrewsenderby@hotmail. com or 250-838-7315. Greater Vernon residents can contact Trinity United Church at 250-545-0797.

A 30th Avenue homeowner phoned RCMP when she came home at 7:30 a.m. Nov. 16 and found a man in her house. “The man had collected some of her property and also made himself something to eat and drink,” said Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy. The man fled the residence on foot after seeing the woman. He was arrested a short time later. Joshua Gerald Gunnlaugson, 34, has been charged with possession of stolen property and theft under $5,000. He is scheduled to appear in court today.

Community tip leads officers to stolen vehicle RogeR Knox Morning Star Staff

An observant community member alerted Vernon RCMP to the theft of a pickup truck in progress. The woman called RCMP shortly before 7:30 p.m. on Sunday to say she was following a 2001 Dodge Dakota truck that she witnessed being stolen from a parking lot in the 2400 block of 58th Avenue. “A blond Caucasian woman and an unknown man were in the vehicle,” said Const. Jocelyn Nosewothy, with the Vernon RCMP detachment. The truck was found abandoned a short time later in a parking lot on 43rd Avenue, and the suspects had fled on foot. Anybody with any information on the theft or the suspects is asked to call the Vernon RCMP at 250545-7171, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-

History repeats itself

hey came to Canada by the thousands, fleeing an endless cycle of poverty and ruthless, autocratic government. Violence was a common occurrence in their homeland. They settled in towns big and small, but for many, life in the new world was spent behind barbed wire. During the First World War, they were considered enemy aliens simply because of where they came from. “Many of these people had left Europe to escape tyranny only to have it thrust on them here. Some of them had been born in Canada. They were only trying to make a better life for themselves and their families,” said Ron Candy, Greater Vernon Museum curator, in a 2011 article. The government of the day insisted these men, women and children posed a threat to Canadians — that somehow they would Richard Rolke bring the war to the streets of Vernon and other communities. But the reality was that internment was driven by fear and misunderstanding. These new immigrants, mostly from Ukraine, didn’t fit into the white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant culture that dominated Canadian culture. They were considered sub-standard. Flash forward a few years and while the faces changed, the actions didn’t. “Police banging on doors at all hours of the day or night, ordering frightened occupants to gather up only what they could carry. Parents and children innocent of any crime ushered from their homes, herded into a central depot and sent out by train to remote camps. A scene from Nazi Germany? No, it was the internment of the Japanese in British Columbia, 1942,” states thecanadianencyclopedia.ca Once again, an entire group of people were forced out of their homes and into camps. They were branded enemies, even though many of them were Canadian born. Officials of the day cited security but the reality is that Japanese Canadians had been the

focus of severe racism long before the Second World War. They were considered different and unable to fit into the dominant culture. But of course, the legacy of intolerance goes back long before the world wars. No sooner had Europeans stepped foot on Canadian soil and a systematic campaign against First Nations began. Even here in the Okanagan, First Nations were rounded up on to small chunks of land and children were ripped apart from their parents. Assimilation was initiated all under the guise of education. All of these are dark chapters in Canadian history but they are relevant given what is happening today. Some Canadians have currently embraced fear and intolerance. Instead of their neighbour or a family simply trying to make ends meet, they see a radical. A woman wearing a head scarf as she shops or takes her children to school is someone to ridicule. The argument is that Canada is at war with terrorists and a tough response is required. And while yes there are those who have perverted Islam and are bent on mass destruction, they are no more representative of their faith than extremists who profess to be Christians by killing others. But most troubling is how many apparently educated and reasonable people are getting in on the act and using Facebook to spread misinformation and racism. They are telling our Muslim neighbours that they are different and unwanted. In 2014, a mural commemorating First World War internment was unveiled in Vernon. As part of the ceremony, Rev. Richard Schulz, of Peace Lutheran Church, provided these thoughts: “May this memorial be a godsend, a constant reminder, a small symbol of justice, to all who view it, of the wrongs perpetrated against loyal citizens of Canada. Let it be a sign of our loving kindness and let it serve as a constant reminder to all future generations of the need to do justice for the victims of injustice.”

The closure of the Vernon Family Doctors Medical Clinic in March of next year at least gives medical practitioners and health leaders time to form an action plan. The Fruit Union Plaza location served anywhere from 80 to 100 patients a day and it’s doubtful they all can be handled by the other two clinics in town at Vernon Square Mall and the Real Canadian Superstore. A doctor shortage is being blamed and although it is a private clinic, Interior Health is pledging to follow the situation and how it could affect local health care. Good idea. “It’s not clear whether the clinic closure will have any impact on IH facilities or services, but we are in the process of evaluating that,” an IH representative told this newspaper. We’ll help you along with your evaluation, it will have an impact and it will be considerable. Although the clinic is advising this will increase demand in the emergency room, take note IH, a clinic representative is also advising patients to seriously consider their need and if it’s not more reasonable to wait and go through a family doctor. While this may apply to some who can’t pass up the convenience aspect of walk-in clinics, there are numerous others who either don’t have a family doctor and can’t find one available, or will find the other clinics unavailable to take on the increased workload. Certainly some cases will wait and go the family doctor route but it’s only common sense that this turn of events will significantly impact the emergency room at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Possibly the other clinics can adapt and take on some of the increased workload but it doesn’t take a lengthy evaluation process by a number of health professionals to know this week’s news is a game changer.

Tattoo organizers question plan

he Okanagan Military Tattoo has made use of Kal Tire Place (KTP) for the past two years for very successful tattoo events and have made late July reservations for the next five years. As a user of KTP, we would have appreciated some contact from the planners involved with the proposal for twinning Kal Tire Place. We now have many questions that we have not been able to get answers for: 1. Our show, and others of a similar size, need to load-in and load-out sets, lights and sound equipment and this means having the room to maneuver semi-trailers and other large vehicles to the doors at the north end of KTP. 2. The north-end outside area of KTP is the staging area for the Okanagan Military Tattoo. It is where tent shelters and tables are set up to look after mustering and feeding the 500 performers and the 150 volunteers. The drawings that have been available look to have the new arena right up against the north end of KTP leaving no room

PAYING OUR SHARE I feel I must respond to J.A. Kitchen’s letter, “Not impressed,” and the writer’s misunderstanding of rural taxes and services. I live in the BX and will be exercising my right to vote on the new arena because my taxes will help pay for it. My taxes are undoubtedly less than my neighbours in Vernon but not because I don’t pay my share, but because I do not receive, nor expect, the same level of services. In the BX, we don’t enjoy urban amenities such as sidewalks, street lights or sewer nor are our roads maintained to the same standards as the city. These are not complaints. They are simple facts of rural life. We in the BX pay our share for the operation of the library, arenas, parks, the new athletic facility at the college and other regional services. We also pay for our own fire pro-

for trucks, trailers or any amount of human traffic. 3. As the area at the north end of KTP used for the back stage performers and volunteers will be minimal with the new arena in place, will we now have to rent both facilities resulting in increasing what is already hefty rental charges? 4. Parking is a real issue with not enough parking spaces for the attendance we now have. With the new arena taking up a huge percentage of an already squeezed parking tection. I will be voting yes and if the new arena project is approved, I and other property owners in Areas B and C will contribute our full share. Terry Donnelly VOTING NO This time, I'm sorry to say I'll be voting no on the Nov. 28 referendum. I understand sports facilities are necessary and I have supported them in the past. However the subdivision I live in and subdivision next to us have about 75 single-family homes that have not even the basic infrastructure of sewer. I've lived in Okanagan Landing since 1974, which was before annexation. When our area was annexed, the city promised us sewer. Yet here it is 2015 and no sewer. Yes, we live in the City of Vernon and still use septic systems and in many situations, failing septic sys-

lot, a bad situation is surely going to get worse. Do the code requirements from the City of Vernon not require one parking space per five attendees? KTP can hold 3,001 seated and 400 standing. With the new facility adding another 400 seats, that makes for 3,800 attendees requiring 760 parking spots. Unfortunately, attendees rarely pile five per vehicle so for plain calculating, think three per vehicle and the need now is more than 1,000 parking spaces. tems. So before the regional district borrows $13.25 million for a sports arena, let's give all the taxpaying citizens the most basic of city services. Tony Connors SAVE CIVIC ARENA If it costs $50,000 to keep Civic Arena operating, possibly the city could charge a parking fee for the 80 to 100 vehicle owners parked on the Civic Arena property and this would reduce the maintenance costs. With regards to the urine smell and stuck door in the dressing room, if the city maintenance department cannot repair these problems, my suggestion would be to contact journeymen tradespeople to rectify these issues. It is admirable to have volunteers coach different sports and I am sure we can find a great deal to complain about regardless of the venue. I would suggest having a chat with the complainers and advising them

5. Two events on at the same time, one in each building will be an impossibility. 6. It would appear that the planning going into twinning KTP is to provide specific users with an ice surface or playing surface (ringette, lacrosse). The multiplex, when it was planned and sold to the taxpayers, was supposed to attract multi users and offset the operations costs as well as pay back the initial investment. It appears that has not happened, is not happening and a new facility on the same grounds will further hamper efforts to attract “other users”. 7. If Smithers can build a new 350 seat, stand-alone arena for $4.7 million, why are we spending $13.25 million for what looks like the same facility? As stated, questions but not many answers. The process to convince taxpayers to fund this project seems to be unduly hurried and what should be concrete plans are more of a concept. Norm Crerar, producer Okanagan Military Tattoo that they are fortunate to have a covered artificial ice rink in which to play hockey. There are many coaches and children who play on outdoor rinks with little complaints. With regard to the referendum for a new arena with a predicted cost of $13 million, what will the overrun costs be for servicing this building? There is a referendum planned for a new art gallery and possibly a museum, costs not disclosed. The water rates are some of the highest in the valley and about $70 million is required to upgrade the water system. The cost overruns for the new outdoor track are still not disclosed. What will it cost to remove Civic Arena? City council has discussed possibly building a park on this property. I think Vernon has enough on its plate. It is obvious I will vote no. Gil Garrett

NEW ARENA NEEDED I am just reading the letters against replacing Civic Arena with a new facility. You are the people that hold this city back. Civic Arena is tired and falling apart. Don't throw dead money into it. It's pointless and a waste. Glenn Wilson

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder WILL YOU SEE FARSIGHTED PLAY?

THE

John Ortberg, a pastor in California, said, “Prudence is foresight and farsightedness. It’s the ability to make immediate decisions on the basis of their longer-range effects.” That is perfect for today’s deal. Declarer needs foresight to make a farsighted play early in the proceedings. South is in four spades doubled. West leads the heart ace, then shifts to the club king. How should declarer proceed? Over West’s first double, North raised pre-emptively to game with five-card spade support, a weak hand, a singleton, and

an eye on the favourable vulnerability. West’s second double promised extra strength. Then East might have bid to the five-level, but he had only one point and the vulnerability was adverse. (Note that five hearts is defeated only if South gets a club ruff.) South should be worried about losing one spade, one heart and two diamonds. But if West began with both missing trumps, he is a candidate for an endplay for which declarer must first eliminate the rounded suits. After winning trick two with dummy’s club ace, South must ruff a club in his hand. Then the play proceeds: spade ace, heart ruff, club ruff, heart

ruff and club ruff. With his preparations complete, declarer exits with a trump (or leads his diamond king). West wins but is stuck. If he plays a diamond, South loses only one trick there. Or if West leads a heart, declarer ruffs in one hand and sluffs a diamond from the other.

Vocalist/band swing with the blues Sabrina Weeks and Swing Count Bounce return to the Vernon Jazz Club with some bouncy R&B AMANDA MORAZAIN For The Morning Star

The Vernon Jazz Club welcomes Sabrina Weeks and Swing Cat Bounce to the stage this Saturday night.

Weeks will be joined by Mike Hilliard on guitar and vocals, Steve Soucy on piano, Neil Brun on bass, and Ed Hilliard on drums. Music has always played an important part in Weeks’ life. She started performing when she was five and since then has shared the stage or opened for performers such as Colin James, Tom Lavin and Powder Blues, Steppenwolf, Jack de Keyzer, and the Downchild Blues Band. “Blues is a powerful music. It’s vibrant. It’s passionate. It can sad. It can be celebratory. I feel that it’s really the only complete music

Symphony brings out the beauty in November

osemary Thomson, music director of Okanagan Symphony, brought light to this drab month with the OSO’s Classic Beauty concert at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre this past Sunday. Starting with two ballet sections from Gluck’s opera Orfeo ed Eurodice, the orchestra opened with Dance of the Furies, maintaining a stunning pace with perfectly separated 1/16 notes. Most OSO concerts include a modern piece, and this month’s was from Calgary composer Brent Lee. His Luminous Night was an evocative call from nature, conveying the colours of sunset, moonlight, Northern Lights, and the rising sun. The symphony chosen was by Mozart. His Symphony No. 40, written only three years before his

death, was the middle of his last three symphonies, all composed within six weeks. At K number 550, his final tally of 626 shows, he maintained this prodigious output right to the end. (His last, Requiem, was never finished.) For the Jim Elderton soloist piece, Variations on a Rococo Theme for Cello and Orchestra, was the closest Tchaikovsky had come to writing a cello concerto. The potential problem for this could have been monotony between variations, which would probably have ruined the piece. But thanks to his musical skill,

ClassiCal Notes

Tchaikovsky avoided that trap. However, one difficulty is that the eight sections follow one another continuously. Without orchestral links between solo sections, the cellist has no chance to rest. And he also needs to play much in the high register. Soloist Ariel Barnes, principal cellist with the Vancouver Symphony, did brilliantly on both counts. Tchaikovsky wrote it in collaboration with cellist Wilhelm Fitzenhagen (fellow-professor at the Moscow Conservatory) who also performed the premiere. But after that first performance, he thought he would go one step better, and altered the order of variations Tchaikovsky had planned. For the next 60 years it was no longer played in the original form. Fitzenhagen had in fact taken

considerable liberties with the structure. Music critic Michael Steinberg said, “Much of the detail in the solo part is his, and was actually written by him into Tchaikovsky’s autograph.” More importantly, he dropped one variation and changed the order of the others, necessitating more cuts and links. Tchaikovsky scholars maintain that the original seventh variation had reached “the real peak of the piece,” after which the eighth (deleted by Fitzenhagen) would take listeners back to the starting point. Tchaikovsky had indeed asked Fitzenhagen to work on the piece, but didn’t inform his publisher! In the autographed score the majority of the solo part is actually in Fitzenhagen’s hand, however, Tchaikovsky allowed the altera-

tions to remain. Apparently, when asked if he would restore his original structure, he replied, “Oh, the hell with it! Let it stay the way it is.” The Variations were performed using the new arrangement until 1941 when Russian cellist Victor Kubatsky examined the original score. X-rays showed that Tchaikovsky’s notations had indeed been altered. The original version was published and recorded, however, most orchestras (including the OSO this week) continued to perform the altered one. Ed note: Guest conducted by Dennis Colpitts, the OSO presents its annual Christmas concert, with guest crooner Robert Fine singing all of your seasonal favourites, Dec. 20 at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre.

Film follows sparring pundits For The Morning Star

The Vernon Film Society’s next offering is the only documentary the VFS is showing this fall season. Best of Enemies is the story of the 1968 televised debates between arch rivals Gore Vidal and William F. Buckley Jr. Not just a running of the 10 debates, the film highlights, in depth, the views of the men, their ideas and backgrounds against a backdrop of the tense 1968 Democratic and Republican conventions. With the morality of the Vietnam War still being fiercely debated, violence was always a possibility. These were the first TV conventions shown in colour and it is estimated 80 per cent of the U.S. population followed them. The ABC network was far less popular than the other three networks at the time, and needed to

For the record Friday’s story on Asparagus Community Theatre’s presentation of Robin Hood and His Merry Men contained an incorrect phone number. Tickets can be reserved at The Guy Next Door in Armstrong at 250-546-0950. The Morning Star apologizes for the error.

bring something different to the table to cover the conventions. The network’s executives hired these most vitriolic of enemies – left-wing pundit Vidal and staunch conservative Buckley Jr. – to argue the issues alive and unscripted. By the ninth debate, the men erupted on air, threatening physical violence, which shocked both TV executives as well as the audience with their actions. Using explosive archival footage and commentary, the film charts the infamous origin of the trash-talk format of today’s news from this event. The film is a must see for all those interested in history, politics and watching two intellectuals spar and debate with all the wit and rancor they were well known for. Best of Enemies screens at the Towne Cinema Monday, Nov. 30 at 5:15 and 7:45 p.m. Tickets are $7 (cash only), at the Bean Scene and the theatre. The film is rated PG for coarse language.

Award winning jazz artist Mike Janzen performs at Vernon’s All Saints Anglican Church Saturday, Nov. 28.

Church opens its doors to jazz artist Morning Star Staff

It may have once been considered “the work of the devil,” but today jazz music can be found in some of the most divine places. That will be evident when Toronto-based jazz pianist, composer and singer Mike Janzen performs at Vernon’s All Saints Anglican Church Saturday. Janzen, who has previously visited the Vernon Jazz Club with his trio, is currently touring on his most recent recording, Nudging Forever, an eightmovement piece featuring jazz trio, flugelhorn, and string orchestra. “We are very lucky Mike was able to arrange a solo appearance in Vernon in the midst of his busy schedule,” said Rev. Canon Chris Harwood-Jones, with All Saints. Nudging Forever explores the themes of kairos and chronos (the Greek words for time), and follows the Benedictine hours of prayer. “Unique, moving and powerful, this piece wonderfully melds the beauty of the classical world with the spontaneity of jazz improvisation,” reads Janzen’s website. Janzen plays an engaging blend of Broadway standards and explorative versions of popular songs from Simon and Garfunkel’s Mrs. Robinson to Coldplay’s God Put a Smile Upon Your Face, along with wellcrafted originals. His primary group, The Mike Janzen Trio, has toured across Canada and has been featured at the Toronto International Jazz Festival, the Wreckhouse International Festival and Winnipeg International Jazz Festival (as a duo), and is a regular national fixture on both CBC Radio (Tonic) and Jazz 91.1. Janzen’s song, There’s No Escaping Spring, recently won best jazz/blues song of the year at the Gospel Music Association of Canada awards in Calgary. At the trio’s sold out concert at the Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto in 2013, Dennis Patterson (CBC engineer) remarked, “that’s one of the best things I’ve ever heard in here!” Opening for Janzen is vocalist Karen Wiseman accompanied by Jim Leonard on piano and HarwoodJones on bass. The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are $25, available at the Bean Scene, Wentworth Music and at All Saints Anglican Church at 3205 27th St.

Speeders in Spallumcheen appear to be slowing down in some areas, while a lead foot remains on other roads. Data from the township’s 2015 speed reader radar shows the majority of drivers are conscious of speeds and stick close to the posted limits. In fact, one station on Otter Lake Road showed the average speed was 57 km/h, which is well below the 70 km/h limit. That data was collected from 4,351 south bound vehicles in the 970 block between April 30 and May 7. Yet in the north bound lane, a two-day reading at the same location showed the average speed as 75. Speed appears to still be a factor on Salmon River Road, where data from June shows averages between 78 and 84. One driver was clocked going 150 kilometres in a 70 zone on Pleasant Valley Road in March. Spall sells former park Funds spent on Spallumcheen’s new McLeod subdivision park are back in the coffers. The township finally sold the lot, which was one of two parks dedicated when the subdivision was built. “They both just deteriorated to nothing,” said Mayor Janice Brown, as a new park was built on one lot and the other put up for sale. “The park was built

probably 25 years ago. It was treed and grown up and it was on a bank,” said Brown. “It definitely wasn’t

Fulton takes Valley Morning Star Staff

PATRICK BARTOLO PHOTO

Zack Hyer of the VSS Panthers eludes Wes Van Vliet of the Langley Saints in Subway quarterfinal high school varsity AA football play Saturday morning at B.C. Place.

Saints squeeze by Panthers Morning Star Staff

A blocked extra point. That proved to be the difference as the Langley Saints downed the Vernon Panthers 28-27 in B.C. Subway Bowl AA High School Senior Varsity quarterfinal football action Saturday at B.C. Place in Vancouver. “It was a heartbreaking loss for my boys,” said Panthers head coach Sean Smith. “They played an outstanding game and went toe-to-toe with one of the best teams in the province. Unfortunately, we came up one point short.” The Saints opened the scoring in the first quarter with a 24-yard run by tailback Azuka Okoli. A penalty on the ensuing extra point attempt moved the ball back to the 18-yard line putting the Saints out of kicking range. Instead, quarterback Wes Van Vliet hooked up with Max Joseph for a two-point convert in the corner of the end zone to make it 8-0. The Cats responded in the second when quarterback Justin Haverkamp called his own number from the two-yard line to close within one. Linebacker Tyler Semeniuk (10 tackles) intercepted an errant Van Vliet pass late in the half, but the Panthers couldn’t muster a first down and had to punt. With under a minute to play, the Saints engineered a scoring drive that culminated in a pass from Van Vliet to Jayden Korfman with 14 seconds left to go up 15-7 at the break. “Sometimes in the course of a game, you know

News Flash! FRUIT FRUIT CRAFTS CRAFTS PRODUCE PRODUCE

there are things that will come back to bite you… not getting a first down to run out the first half is one of those,” said Smith. Despite the setback, the Panthers came out of the break firing. Ben Hladik hit Levi Nicholas on a 45-yard pitch pass to cut the lead, and tailback Jonah Anstey ran in the two-point convert to tie the score 15-15. Zack Hyer (eight tackles) then recovered the ensuing kickoff and Haverkamp ran in his second of the day to put the Cats up by six. “We stole the momentum in the third quarter and had them reeling a bit, scoring twice in a row,” said Smith. “We were finding a bit of rhythm on offence which helped a lot.” To end the third, Van Vliet hooked up with Joseph on a 25-yard reception that allowed Langley to regain the lead, 22-21. Haverkamp, under duress, then flipped the ball to a waiting Saints defender. Shortly after, Okoli ran in his second of the day and Langley went up 28-21. With an injured Haverkamp on the sidelines, Nicholas took over play-calling duties and marched the Panthers the length of the field. His one-yard run put the Cats within a convert of tying the game. However, a missed assignment on the extra point led to a blocked kick putting the Panthers one point shy. Nicholas got the ball back with under two minutes to play but couldn’t bring the Panthers within

field goal range. The Saints advance to this weekend’s semifinals, where they’ll face the Abbotsford Panthers, 50-36 quarterfinal winners over the defending champion John Barsby Bulldogs of Nanaimo. “I would like to start off with saying thank you, thank you Vernon Panthers for a very memorable game,” said Langley head coach Ryk Piche. “You have a very good team and I look forward to meeting you again, I hope in the post-season of course. “Vernon has some real ballers. The Panthers did a great job in disguising their coverages and playing on top of our receivers on defence. We as a staff in Langley knew that Vernon was going to try and take our passing game away from us, and they almost did. The game could have gone either way.” Nicholas finished with 79 yards rushing on 11 carries, and ran another 50 yards on two catches. Anstey added 10 for 46 on the ground. Defensively, Gabe Turner had eight tackles for the Panthers and Tyler Riva added seven. The one-point loss will sting for some time for the Panthers, although a spot in the B.C. quarterfinals seemed a long shot at the outset of the year. “I am so proud of the way this group gelled as the season progressed,” said Smith. “At the beginning of October, this team was not a legitimate contender, but everyone who stepped on the field in the last month was dialed in. “I honestly believe that we could have competed with anyone in the province if we had advanced.”

The Fulton Maroons will be the No. 3 seed at the B.C. Senior AA Boys Volleyball Championships Dec. 2-5 at the Langley Event Centre. Richard Bedard’s boys repeated as Okanagan Valley champions Saturday night at Sa-Hali Secondary in Kamloops, winning 3-1 (22-25, 25-11, 25-17, 25-15) over the George Elliot Coyotes of Lake Country. Again, the Maroons had a slow start to their match. “We need to start stronger out of the gates, but they had some hitting and serving errors and couldn’t get any momentum going,” said Bedard . “George Elliot passed and hit well so that was the difference. But once they got going, they dominated until the end of the match.” Fulton also defeated the Seaton Sonics 2-0 (25-22, 25-19), Valleyview Vikings 3-0 (25-10, 25-9, 25-22) and Sa-Hali Sabres 3-0 (2510, 25-9, 25-18) in the round-robin and playoff rounds. This same group of Maroons took the 2013 Valley junior boys title over the Mt. Boucherie Bears of West Kelowna. The Sonics are No. 9 for the 16-team provincials. In senior AAA girls play, Sa-Hali knocked off the host VSS Panthers in Saturday’s final to avenge a roundrobin loss.

Seaton sends three teams to B.C.s Continued from A22

Both teams advance to the provincials, Dec. 2-5, at the Panther Pit. The UBC O Heat will face the Thompson Rivers WolfPack in a university women’s exhibition match next Wednesday night to open the B.C. finals. Keith Becker’s Cats won four of five preliminary matches, stopping Sa-Hali 2-1 (19-25, 25-21, 15-7), falling 25-20, 25-16 to the Okanagan Mission Huskies of Kelowna, outlasting Seaton 2-1 (25-23, 13-25, 15-12), sweeping the South Kam Titans 25-19, 25-23 and icing Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops 25-16, 25-23. Meanwhile, Seaton used home-court advantage and bounced the Mt. Boucherie Bears of West Kelowna 2-0 (25-21 and 25-18) in Saturday’s final of the Valley Junior Girls Volleyball Championships. The Sonics and Bears have enjoyed a fierce battle this season with Mt. Boucherie holding a 3-1 series lead going into the final. The Sonics, coached by Jeff Huggins and Kendra Kryszak, played a solid match by controlling the play and never trailing. Dana Kievit set the tone early with several kills from the left side. Ella Oduro took control at the net and Maisa Orosz had several blasts from the middle. Maddie Roemer is a serving specialist who built leads all weekend as she dissected opponents. Gabby Triggs sent a clear message in the second set that Seaton was going to dominate the match by serving nine straight points. Boucherie was never able to recover. Rose Harned had moments of brilliance as she patrolled the backline making numerous excellent passes to start the attack. “Mason Christensen and Kalli Hamilton-Gee had a strong tourney as they set up the hitters and put them in position to succeed,” said Huggins. The Sonics started with the KSS Owls in front of a packed and wildly enthusiastic house. Seaton fed off the great atmosphere by stuffing the Owls 2-1 (25-7, 24-26, 15-11). The Sonics then swept Princess Margaret Mustangs of Penticton 25-6 and 25-21. Wynter Vanderveen had several shots down the line and Hannah McCaffrey had multiple kills from the middle.

Seaton was down 11-1 to the South Kam Titans and appeared done until gritty Alyssa Racine stepped on the court and turned everything around with some great serving and back row play. Racine sparked a comeback with Seaton winning 25-20, 25-10. The Sonics finished preliminary play by sinking the Kalamalka Lakers 25-16, 25-14 before brushing back Valleyview 25-14, 25-18 in the semis. “The Sonics are a fantastic group of girls and have had a great season having only lost two sets all season in league and playoffs,” said Huggins. Seaton moves to the provincials starting Thursday at Seaquam Secondary in Delta. The Seaton junior and senior boys also advance to the B.C. playdowns. Nathan Lee’s junior Sonics placed second in the Valleys at Pen-Hi, falling 3-1 to the host Lakers in Saturday’s final. Seaton starts the provincials Thursday morning at Mt. Boucherie against Sa-Hali. The Sonics meet the Duchess Park Condors of Prince George and Mt. Baker Trojans of Cranbrook in afternoon matches. The Sonics toppled tourney favourite Okanagan Mission 25-20, 25-21 in the semis. Trent Graham and Nakoda Parker set the tone early with some key blocks in the middle, while strong back-row defence and some tough serving stymied the OK Mission attack. Outside hitters Ben Poulin and Simon Ufimzeff scored key points and right side hitter Xander Sladen played some of his best volleyball of the season. Seaton stopped the South Okanagan Hornets of Oliver 25-16, 25-18 in the quarterfinals. Strong passing from Noah Schneider and Elijah Burnham, coupled with a varied front-row attack with some excellent setting by Landen Harison, paced the Sonics. In Kamloops, the senior Sonics iced the Sabres 3-1 for bronze and a spot in the B.C.s, Dec. 2-5, at the Langley Event Centre. The boys had to bounce back quickly after a grueling five-set loss to George Elliot in the semifinals. Fane Triggs and Dave Roemer coach the Sonics.

Vipers bite Bulldogs Continued from A23

Zandee banged in his own rebound, Cakebread converted from gimme range on a power play and McCarthy hit the open net, with 39 seconds remaining. Zandee, who was a physical force all afternoon, finished with 1+2 and should have been first star. He has three goals on the year, The Vipers outshot the Dawgs 34-26 with Alberni Valley registering a handful of dangerous attempts with six attackers. Bulldog captain Eric Margo, a four-year veteran out of North Vancouver, could not explain his speedy, skate-till-ya-drop team’s wacky weekend. “We had ups and downs for sure all weekend and today we just really couldn’t do the little things to put it together for a win,” he smiled. “Vernon’s a pretty skilled team and they played physical against us today and it’s hard to compete against that. They did what they needed to get the win.” Viper forward Brett Stapley accepted a challenge from fellow 16-year-old rookie Cayden Kraus of Whistler 6:57 into the third period. Stapley won a unanimous decision and is now 2-0. Penticton will look to beat Vernon for the second time this season. They are led by projected 2016 first-round NHL draft pick Tyson Jost, who pocketed 1+4 versus Coquitlam and leads the BCHL scoring parade with 54 points, one more than Nanaimo Clipper Sheldon Rempal. Scott Conway of the Vees is riding a 23-game point streak.

The H&L Glass Vipers iced the Revelstoke Grizzlies 1-0 in a shootout Sunday to win the Salmon Arm Atom C Hockey Tournament at the Shaw Centre. Zack Casagrande went top shelf, bar down, for the winner. Both teams enjoyed numerous chances in overtime with Vernon goalie Matthew Kuhnlein sensational. Defencemen Ty Whitney, Trey Schober, Luke Walsh, and Colter Louis did their part to preserve the shutout and take the game to OT. “What a great weekend for players and coaches,” said H&L Glass head coach Dallas Walsh. “The boys brought their best efforts and attitudes to the tournament and were rewarded by taking home gold. The coaching staff is very proud to be part of such a great group of kids.” The Vipers outscored the opposition 24-6 in the round-robin before rallying for a 4-3 shootLISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR out win over Vancouver in the semifinals.

Ken went home to be with the Lord Wednesday, November 11, 2015 in Vernon Jubilee Hospital where he received excellent, compassionate care from all who attended him. From a small boy, Ken had a passion for music. He learned to play the trumpet and did so excellently, he also taught himself to play the saxophone. He spent many happy years with bands, the last being “The Classics” who were well known throughout the Valley. Ken was warm and friendly, enjoyed being with people and would also start a conversation whether he knew you or not. He had a great sense of humour, loved telling jokes and teasing. He will be sadly missed by his loving wife Trixie, his children Laureen, Sharon, Gordon (Carrie) & Robert (Beate), his brother Donald, four grandchildren and two nephews and many friends. A private gathering was held on November 17th at Lakeview Memorial Gardens. “Ken, you flew away to a land where joys will never end. ‘Hallelujah’.” A Celebration of Life Service will be held in the spring.

Greg left us too early on November 20, 2015 in Richmond, BC embraced in the arms of his loving wife Melissa. For those who knew Greg knew he was a hard worker, he’d grind out any job anywhere, a great provider until the end.

Greg leaves behind his children Opal and Cohen, wife Melissa and daughter Abby, mother Darlene (Jon), sister Crystal, sister Stacey (Colin), numerous nieces and nephews, plenty of family and close friends both near and far. Predeceased by his dad Joe, with comfort to his family knowing this dynamic duo is once again together, his grandparents Matthew and Annie Seery and Nellie Chouinard.

February 13, 1953 - October 12, 2015

September 21, 1924 – November 16, 2015

Our much loved Mother, Sister, Aunt, Grandmother and Great Grandmother passed away at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital at the young age of 91. Mavis was predeceased by her husband Paul, her sons Bruce, Terry, Leslie and Grant, her sisters Eva and Marjorie and brother John. Mavis will be missed by brother, Richard (Bing) Gibbons, son Bryan (Michelle), daughters-in-law Joanne and Madelaine (Elwyn). Grandchildren: Ryan, Kerry (Dayna), Debbie (Jason); Andrew, Kerry-lee, Kristy; Jodi (Steve), Terry Jr. (Amber), Jon (Sherry), Jeff (Dawne); Tom and Ben. Great grandchildren: Kyiv, Keihl; Graham, Everett; Logan, Lauren; Tanya; Brenden, Ashley, Brianne; Hayley, Ben; Karly (Justin), Nicholas (Bobbe), Matthew (Myoka); Nathan, Hayden; Payton, Tage, Brooklyn; Emily and Owen. Great-great-grandchild, Tairrance born November 20, 2015. She will also be greatly missed by many nieces and nephews. Mavis was born in Viceroy, Saskatchewan to Elizabeth and Denver Gibbons where she spent her early years growing up. She married Paul in 1941 and soon moved to B.C. where they raised their five sons. Raising five healthy boys was a full time job and when they were older she began her working career. Her first job was with Consumer’s Glass in Lavington where she stayed for ten years. When the plant closed down, she began employment with Vernon Jubilee Hospital where she made many friends with co-workers and eventually retired at age 65. She maintained those close friendships for many years and often had lunch with “the girls”. Her travels took her to Europe, Hawaii and a cruise to Alaska. Mavis then went on to volunteer at Hillview Elementary in the library and as a one-to-one reader. She also volunteered with Meals on Wheels. Her volunteerism was so outstanding that the local newspaper wrote a one page article on how successful she was, especially with the children at Hillview. Mavis was a proud mother who raised her boys to be successful, caring family men and strong contributors to their community.The family enjoyed her knitting, baking, and much loved preserves, most of which came from her own garden. Mavis will stay in the hearts of family members and friends as she was a special person to many with her caring, welcoming manner. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Salvation Army and Red Cross. A family graveside gathering will be held at Pleasant Valley Funeral Home, 4303 Pleasant Valley Road, Vernon, B.C. on Friday December 4 at 11am. 250-542-4333 This will be followed by a reception at FAITH FAMILY BAPTIST CHURCH, 3908 27th Street, Vernon, B.C. at 1pm. 250-545-7700. Friends are also welcome to celebrate and remember Mavis’s son, Grant Kineshanko who passed away October 19, 2015 at the age of 60.

Even though we miss her deeply, we know that her time on this earth was fulfilled. She is now and for all eternity in the presence of her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Her funeral was held on October 21. Loretta is survived and deeply missed by her husband, Ken Cook and seven of her siblings: John (Joan) Manzuik of Winfield, Russell (Ada) Manzuk of Amherst View, ON, Anne Toma of Edmonton, Peter (Joan) Manzuk of Winnipeg, Lizz Manzuk of Calgary, Rozina (Loren) Leel of Salmon Arm, Jean Mitchell of Enderby; numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins; four step-daughters; five brothers-in-laws; four sisters-in-laws, and many other extended family members. Loretta was predeceased by her parents: Nick and Mary Manzuk of Swan River, and by her older brother Joe Manzuik and his wife, Ann, of Brandon. Loretta was born in Swan River, MB, the youngest of nine children. After completing her Licensed Practical Nurse training and being employed as an LPN for a few years in Winnipeg, she enrolled in the Bachelor of Christian Education programme at Prairie Bible Institute in Three Hills, AB. After graduating from Prairie, Loretta had planned to serve her Lord Jesus in overseas missions, but she didn’t get to follow her dream of obeying her Lord’s command to “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations”. Within a few years, Loretta became very ill and spent the remainder of her life struggling to maintain some measure of wellness. In spite of her illness, Loretta was devoted to sharing with others the good news of salvation offered by Jesus Christ, having a special compassion for sharing this wonderful news with the unfortunate, needy, and afflicted in her sphere of influence. Her husband, Ken, and all her family will deeply miss the generosity and kindness of Loretta’s heart. In spite of our grief, we who trust and believe in the Lord Jesus have a deep peace, a knowledge and a hope that we will one day rejoice with Loretta, as we eternally praise, worship, and serve our Lord Jesus Christ, when our time on earth is done. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family at www.MyAlternatives.ca Funeral arrangements entrusted to ALTERNATIVES FUNERAL & CREMATION SERVICES® Armstrong 250-546-7237 & Vernon 250-558-0866

Sale keeps cats out of cold Morning Star Staff

With winter on its way, the SPCA has a great offer for residents to turn brrrs into purrs. Half-price adoption fees take the chill off during the B.C. SPCA’s adoption event, presented by Hill’s Science Diet until Monday. “It’s cold outside. We’re reminding British Columbians that when one cat is adopted, it frees up shelter space and allows us to bring another cat in from the frigid winter conditions experienced in much of the province,” said Lorie Chortyk, B.C. SPCA general manager of community relations. “The society takes in several thousands of cats each year. Right now, there’s more than 1,400 felines in B.C. SPCA care who need loving, forever homes.” Homeless cats are a major issue in B.C., often suffering from injury, illness, predator attacks and frostbite. Illegal abandonment and animals who aren’t spayed or neutered contribute to the problem, as well as cats without permanent identification like a microchip or a tattoo, who are never reunited with their guardians. Chortyk notes the adoption fee includes vaccinations, spaying or neutering, permanent ID, any necessary medical care, and internal and external parasite treatment. Normal adoption counselling and matching takes place to ensure animals go to a good home, and Petsecure provides six weeks of free pet insurance. All cats are microchipped, and for only $12 annually or a $45 lifetime fee, the animal will be registered in the province-wide BC Pet Registry, bcpetregistry.ca, to help ensure if a pet is lost, he can be found and reunited with his family. “Hill’s Science Diet is excited to continue our long-term sponsorship of this special adoption

BC SPCA PHOTO

The SPCA has half-price adoption fees for cats until Monday, Nov. 30 in an effort to make space and rescue more cats from the cold. event,” said Joe Giles, Hill’s Pet Nutrition general manager. “The Hill’s Food, Shelter and Love partnership program with the B.C. SPCA and our support of this event is a natural extension of our mission: To help enrich and lengthen the special relationship between people and their pets. With the free bag of Science Diet® we provide with every adoption, our hope is that new pet guardians will continue the feeding regimen the B.C. SPCA has started, for a lifetime of health and happiness for their pet.” Visit spca.bc.ca for more information.

A garden grows at Okanagan Landing Cara Brady Morning Star Staff

Butterflies are welcome at the Pollinator Habitat Garden at Okanagan Landing School. So are birds — native and migrating — bees and other helpful insects, native plants and people who love nature and want to protect it. The garden started last spring when Sheila Monroe’s class planted a garden of native plants, including milkweed, which is necessary for monarch butterflies. After learning that the monarchs are threatened on the west coast of Canada and the U.S., the students worked with the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History on a variety of projects focused on butterflies and other pollinators. This fall, paper butterflies made by school students will be “migrating” (by mail) to Pacific Grove, one of the winter habitats of monarch butterflies. “The kids loved the garden. We had salads every week. They understand the importance of environmental stewardship through projects like these,” said school vice-principal, Grade 7 teacher and librarian Colline Johnson, as she watched the students planting beds in the expanded garden (600 square metres) and preparing it for winter. “We hope that this will become a community project. This also fits into all aspects of the new curriculum, including science, social studies, language arts, aboriginal education, health and writing. “We couldn’t have done this without Dusty Shovel Gardens helping us with information and native, drought-tolerant and sustainable plants.” Dusty Shovel Gardens owners Buffy Baumbrough and Judy Baumbrough were on hand to help with the planting. “The kids really impress me with their respect for the plants and how careful they are with the planting,” said Buffy Baumbrough. “They are excited. They know the names of the plants and which species need them, and they have a real connection to the garden. Look, that’s a merlin, there in the big evergreen. “The school grounds are becoming a more attractive habitat for many species.” She encourages people to ask at local nurseries for native plants like milkweed, bee balm (monarda), prairie crocus and others. The students are looking forward to what the garden will be like in the spring. “We’re trying to attract bees, birds, butterflies and pollinator insects to the area,”

Grade 7 students Jordan Shannon (left) and Summer Martens clean up the beds of the first part of the garden, which was started in spring. said Grade 4 student Nick Jensen. Ethan Ketterer, also in Grade 4, added, “Different kinds of insects are pollinators for different plants and they are very helpful and the plants need them. We’re lucky that we’re one of the classes in the school that gets to do this.” Grade 4 student Spencer Elder was also helping with the planting. “We’re having a lot of fun. It’s really cool helping nature and getting to know all the different plants,” he said. Murray Hainer, a grandparent and retired biology teacher, came out for planting day. “I think it’s excellent. It teaches the students about natural ecosystems, stewardship and care and it fits into the curriculum and interests the students,” he said. Annuals and vegetables will be planted in the garden in the spring and there are plans to include more Okanagan Nation plants traditionally used as food and medicine, as well as restore the grassland, shrubs and trees around the school. Ray Klinger donated the excavating and the placement of rocks which will be used as basking places for butterflies and people. Other support and funding for the project came from the community and Okanagan

Sweet treats for gift-giving

’m hear to tell you that there are exactly 30 days ‘til Christmas. Thirty days to get to all the Christmas concerts and school plays; to have all the decorating done, shopping for family and friends, and finishing home made gifts. It’s 30 days for all the baking, wrapping, shipping, cooking, cleaning, getting the tree up...and on it goes until we’re frazzled and exhausted. Perhaps I’m reflecting on my own ridiculous habits, like why have I been baking 30 varieties of cookies, or a dozen different types of squares or many different cathi Litzenberger candy recipes? I haven’t even started and I’m exhausted just thinking about it. And so I’ve resolved to try doing as little as possible this year. Wish me luck. Today I’m offering two quick candy treats. The first is a creamy, buttery fudge that tastes exactly like real eggnog, but in a condensed, bite-sized version. Christmas bark is a great option when you’re running out of time, and the peanut butter chocolate bark below is a favourite. Give it a try. Eggnog Fudge with White Chocolate and Walnuts 2 cups granulated sugar 2/3 cup evaporated milk 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter Pinch of salt One (7-ounce) jar marshmallow cream One (12-ounce) package white chocolate chips 1 tablespoon bourbon 1 tablespoon dark rum 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1 cup chopped, toasted walnuts Line the bottom and sides of a 9x9-inch baking

kitchen wit & wisdom

pan with two crisscrossing pieces aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on each side. Combine the sugar, evaporated milk, butter, salt and marshmallow cream in a heavy medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Stirring constantly, bring the mixture to a boil and cook for five minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the white chocolate chips, stirring until melted. Add the bourbon, rum, vanilla and nutmeg. Stir in the walnuts. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and allow it to cool to room temperature. Transfer the pan to the refrigerator and chill for one hour. Using the ends of the foil as handles, lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut the fudge into 1-inch pieces. Peanut Butter Chocolate Bark 16 ounces white chocolate chips 1-1/2 cups peanut butter 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional) Grease a baking sheet and line with parchment paper. Mix white chocolate chips and peanut butter together in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave until half-melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir. Place semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave until half-melted, 15 to 30 seconds. Stir in vanilla extract. Spread peanut butter mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Evenly distribute melted semi-sweet chocolate over peanut butter mixture. Using the tip of a sharp knife, drag semi-sweet chocolate through peanut butter mixture, making a marble-pattern. Refrigerate until set, 30 minutes to 2 hours. Cut into pieces and store in an air-tight container. Note: Make this recipe even better by adding some of your favourite treats. Try adding some peanut butter cups, or M&M’s for an even more delicious treat!

Counsellors lead workshops for parents Morning Star Staff

Parenting can be difficult. Many parents would say it is the most difficult job they have ever had. If, as a parent, you feel like

you have lost control in your role as a parent, or if you think you yell at your child more than you laugh with them, or feel you have lost touch with your child and constantly feel frustrated in your role as a parent, then an upcoming parenting course could be for you. Led by Vernon counsellors Lisa

Wippich Tobin and Carole Fawcett, the 10-week Child Parent Relationship Course, runs Jan. 13 to March 16, Wednesdays from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., and is geared towards parents of children up to age 10. Wippich Tobin is a Registered Clinical Counsellor and play therapist. Fawcett is a

For men, watches remain the most sought after jewelry item.

If your kids are fans of Star Wars, Minions, Frozen, Avengers, Hunger Games and Jurassic Park, gift shopping this year just got easier. The blockbuster movies of the last couple of years are inspiring the top holiday toys. According to worldwide licensing industry figures, movie and TV-related merchandise hit $51.4 billion in 2013. That number is expected to grow in 2015 with sequel releases of many popular flicks. Apps, computer games, fragrances, clothing lines and of course, toys, are driving retail sales from entertainment-based properties. The toy experts at Sears Canada are tracking this trend. “Movies have always been important indicators of the toys that kids wish to see under the tree – but this year these toys are hotter than ever before,” says Nancy Dennis, trend director at Sears Canada.

This season’s most popular toys include: • Dinosaurs – Thanks to the Jurassic World sequel, dinosaurs are BIG.

Spinmaster’s Zoomer Dino is the scariest around with a new attack and patrol mode and a menacing tail that whips around. Zoomer Dino Bytes love to chomp with life-like sounds and chomping motion, light up eyes and nose sensors.

• Minions – Those loveable yellow fellows, Kevin and Stuart, take to the

skies in the Supervillain Jet, straight from the film.

• Star Wars – Perennially popular, look for the XWing Fighter, Millenium Falcon Quad, the Zero Gravity Tie Fighter, the ARH RDC Grand Speeder Bike and a variety of light sabers and popular character action figures to top lists this year. The world’s first fully interactive Yoda is expected to be a huge seller too. • Avengers – Your mini superheroes will be ready to save the day with • Hunger Games – Katniss and Peetah action figures will inspire your

KICKSTART YOUR HOLIDAY SHOPPING

How To Approach Your Holiday $PENDING The holiday season can be both exciting and expensive. The excitement stems from chances to see family and friends, while the expenses often stem from holiday shopping for those very same loved ones.

Many shoppers run into financial trouble come the holiday season, when the temptation to overspend on holiday gifts can be tough to resist. But the following are a handful of ways shoppers can stretch their budgets and avoid going broke this holiday season.

• Go shopping with a plan

Visiting the mall or a town shopping center without any idea of what you’re looking for is a recipe for overspending. Put some thought and research into your holiday shopping so you aren’t spending time wandering around and buying on impulse, which can increase your chance of overspending. The more thought you put into your shopping, the more you can comparison shop and find the best price for each gift.

• Start early If your holiday shopping list is long or if

• Agree to spending limits Come the holiday

you know money will be tight come the holiday season, begin your holiday shopping early. Doing so allows you to stretch your spending out over several months as opposed to several weeks. Shopping early also gives you more time to comparison shop and find the best price.

season, many people overspend on gifts for their immediate family members. Before shopping season begins, speak with members of your immediate family to discuss spending limits on gifts, agreeing that you each won’t spend more than an agreed upon amount of dollars on gifts for any one person. Come to a consensus on a reasonable limit and urge family members not to exceed that limit no matter what.

• Resist the temptation to put it all on plastic

• Determine how much you can spend Many people find themselves overextended financially come the holiday season because they never bother to sit down before the season begins to determine how much they can afford to spend. Set some time aside before your first holiday shopping excursion to examine your finances. Such an examination should give you a ballpark figure of how much you can spend. Keep a tally of all of your purchases with you whenever you go shopping, updating the list with each new purchase you make. Tracking spending can help you stay within your budget.

Credit and debit cards are more convenient than cash, especially now that you can buy everything from cups of coffee to big-ticket items with the swipe of a card. But cash can be your friend when holiday shopping, especially if you have a history of overspending during the holiday season. Leave cards at home when holiday shopping, spending only the cash you have in your pocket. While this may be a less convenient way to shop than you’ve grown accustomed to, it will save you the grief of large credit card bills come January. Holiday shopping can easily get out of hand. But shoppers who commit to spending only what they can afford before their first shopping trip can make it through the season with their finances intact.
