Kokanee numbers recovering RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
An Okanagan fishery is making a dramatic turnaround. The 2015 fall survey shows kokanee numbers were up in Okanagan, Kalamalka and Wood lakes. “It’s really positive,” said Hillary Ward, fisheries stock assessment biologist with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. After poor conditions resulted in numbers plummeting in Wood Lake in 2001, more than — Ward 20,000 kokanee returned to spawn in Middle Vernon Creek, the lake’s main tributary. This is a two-fold increase from previous years. “They are getting better and we’re seeing them get back to historic levels,” said Ward. As a result, the ministry will permit a fishery on Wood Lake from April 1 to Aug. 31, 2016. Among the factors that led to poor Wood Lake returns in 2001 were warm lake water with challenges along Middle Vernon Creek. On Okanagan Lake this year, kokanee spawners totalled 336,500, an increase from 80,500 last year. This is the highest return since 1992. “There may be favourable climatic conditions for the kokanee,” said Ward, adding that habitat enhancement has also helped. Stream-spawning kokanee in Okanagan Lake totalled 31,500 and there were 305,000 shore-spawning fish. In Kalamalka Lake, kokanee numbers totalled 36,500, well above the 10-year average return of 20,000. While pleased with the 2015 returns, Ward admits there still needs to be work to ensure the valley’s kokanee population is sustainable. “We are continuing to work on several habitat projects, They include a Middle Vernon Creek action plan,” she said.
“We’re seeing them get back to historic levels.”

Realtors feed the need
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan residents have an opportunity to embrace the Christmas spirit of giving. The 38th annual Realtors Food Drive takes place Wednesday, Dec. 2 in Greater Vernon, Armstrong and Enderby, starting at 5 p.m. “Each single can of food given and received adds to a pile that grows into an enormous amount that will keep the shelves of the food banks open,” said Dawn Taylor, food drive co-ordinator. “We as realtors give our time and resources to this worthwhile event because it’s a way to give back to the community we so care about.” Items collected in Armstrong will go to the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club food bank while those collected in Enderby will

go to the Feed Enderby and District Food Bank. In Greater Vernon, donations will help the Salvation Army food bank. “If this campaign didn’t happen, it would be difficult to meet the needs of the community,” said Ray Lamont, with the Salvation Army. About 800 Christmas hampers will be handed out in Vernon. “The face of poverty is changing because of the economy,” said Lamont. “Someone may lose their job and they don’t have anything in the bank. Suddenly they need us.” In other cases, someone may become ill and the high cost of prescriptions means they don’t have enough money to put food on the table. Lamont says unpredictable circumstances in life could force many to walk into a
food bank for the first time. “Most people live paycheque to paycheque and don’t have savings.” During the summer, the Vernon food bank assisted an average of 1,000 people monthly. Lumby realtors will not be going door to door Dec. 2 but donations can be dropped off at real estate offices in the village. Many areas in Greater Vernon will be pre-bagged Dec. 1. “As well as the more than 200 realtors and their families and friends, we also receive help from the financial institution workers in the community and the North Okanagan branch of the Early Childhood Educators of B.C.,” said Taylor. “A food drive of this scale and the important awareness that it brings to the community can only be achieved by working together.”

Arena in voters’ hands richard rolke Morning Star Staff
There’s not much time left in the period before Greater Vernon votes on a new ice rink. Residents of Vernon, Coldstream and the two electoral areas will be asked to borrow $13.2 million to twin Kal Tire Place during Saturday’s referendum. “We need people to vote,” said Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director. “We need to listen to people and I hope there is a resounding outcome one way or the other. We struggle with close votes.” The Regional District of North Okanagan proposal is to decommission Civic Arena as an ice sheet and twin Kal Tire Place to the north with a regulation-size ice sheet and 400 seats. Civic Arena is almost 80 years old and officials have stated key infrastructure, such as refrigeration, could fail at any time, leaving ice users without access to other facilities. Lacrosse and other groups are unable to use Civic during the spring and summer because of the cracked concrete slab. “If there’s not a successful vote, we don’t have a plan B,” said Macnabb.
“If we don’t go ahead with a new ice sheet, what is the next step? Is it Civic, I don’t know.” The City of Vernon states that renovation costs to keep Civic functional for five years is $5.6 million and $10.78 million for a decade. Juliette Cunningham, Greater Vernon Advisory Committee chairperson, doesn’t believe investing significant dollars in Civic makes sense. “We’re growing as a community and if we want to attract young families and businesses, we need facilities like this,” she said of the proposal. “We have to worry about the burden on taxpayers but we have to invest in the community to make it attractive.” According to RDNO, if the referendum is approved, a residence assessed at $350,000 will pay $24 annually for 20 years. About 1,432 people cast ballots in Wednesday’s advance poll - 434 at the regional district office and 998 at Vernon city hall. During the first advance poll Nov. 18, 1,112 people participated. Polls are open Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at BX Elementary, Coldstream Elementary, Ellison Elementary, Silver Star Elementary and the Vernon Recreation Complex. Residents can vote at any of the locations.
Questions arise over proposed ice surface richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Plans for twinning Kal Tire Place are dominating debate in Greater Vernon. Leading up to Saturday’s referendum to borrow $13.2 million for the project, 16 information booths have been set up, with 675 people stopping by. “It’s been really good to hear the concerns and questions,” said Doug Ross, the City of Vernon’s director of Doug Ross recreation services. “There are some reoccurring themes. Something starts on social media and people show up at the information booths.” Driving much of the discussion is parking at
Kal Tire Place and what may happen if a second ice sheet is constructed into the north parking lot. If the project proceeds, Ross says there will be a net loss of one parking space as existing parking is reconfigured and a new area is opened at the south end. “When the race track issue is resolved, there will be a plan for other amenities there. We will need parking for those amenities and we can tie parking to Kal Tire Place,” said Ross. People are also asking why Greater Vernon needs another arena. “It’s not an extra rink, it’s a replacement for Civic,” said Ross. Questions have also arisen about ice facility demand. Ross says Civic is booked weekends from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. and weekdays from after school to 10 p.m. from September to April.

Voters are being asked to borrow $13.2 million Saturday to twin Kal Tire Place.
At Kal Tire Place and Priest Valley Arena, the ice is used from 7 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. on weekends and from 3:30 to 10:30 p.m. Monday to Friday. Between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., the facilities are at 75 per cent capacity with hockey clinics and other events. Civic is not used for non-prime time ice to reduce staffing costs. “If we have a twin facility, we create nonprime time capacity with the same staff person already at Kal Tire Place. There is no additional staffing expense,” said Ross. Some residents have suggested significant dollars will still be pumped into Civic while the twin sheet is constructed, but Ross says that’s not the case. “We would spend a minimum amount to keep it operational,” he said, adding that Civic would be decommissioned when a new facility opens in fall 2018.

News Farm workers found by police Morning Star Staff
The case of the missing Mexican migrant workers has been solved. Four Mexican men reported missing June 26 from a BX area orchard where they had been working have been found safe. But that’s all Vernon RCMP will say at this point. “The Vernon RCMP has confirmed that the men have been located,” said Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy Wednesday morning, though she did not say where the men Noseworthy were found. “Vernon RCMP investigators would like to thank the public and media for the assistance received throughout this investigation.” In June, the RCMP office speculated that the men may have gone to the South Okanagan to work on another orchard but had not checked in with the Mexican consulate to notify them of a change in employment. All four men came to Canada on June 16.
Missing man sought Morning Star Staff
Vernon RCMP are searching for a man who left a medical facility Nov. 19 without completing his treatment. Police are concerned for Fraser Gerrard’s safety and are requesting the public’s assistance in locating him so that he can receive the necessary medical attention. “Inquiries have been conducted at all locations where Fraser has been known to frequent and, to date, he has not been located,” said Const. Fraser Gerrard Jocelyn Noseworthy. Gerrard, 25, is Caucasian, six-foot-one with slight build, brown eyes and brown hair. He was last seen wearing a beige winter jacket with a hood. Anyone with any information about Fraser Gerrard or his current whereabouts is asked to call the nearest RCMP detachment.

Emergency personnel respond to a large fuel spill at Coldstream Market on Kalamalka Road Wednesday morning.
LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR
Gas spill still under review RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Investigators are trying to determine what led to 6,000 litres of gasoline to spill on to the ground in Coldstream. The incident occurred just after midnight Wednesday when a fuel truck was filling up the tanks at Coldstream Market on Kalamalka Road. “It’s definitely an overfill of the storage tank. The cause is under investigation,” said Rick Wagner, an emergency response officer with the Ministry of Environment. “It’s not clear what happened.” The driver of the truck has been interviewed. As a result of the fuel spill, Coldstream Elementary and the
Creekside Montessori Children’s School were closed Wednesday. “There’s lots of gas fumes and the air intake would suck that into the (elementary school) building,” said Joe Rogers, Vernon School District superintendent. Also shut down was the Coldstream municipal office. “Upon arrival, there was high concentrations of gas fumes,” said Trevor Seibel, the municipality’s chief administrative officer, adding that there was a concern about staff and public safety. The municipal office was supposed to host an advance poll Wednesday for the arena referendum but that was shifted to the regional district office and Vernon city hall.
Residents in the area were advised to remain inside their homes but to leave if they smelled gas. Kalamalka Road was closed to traffic from Whetzell Drive to Aberdeen Road, and activities were cancelled at the Women’s Institute Hall. The investigation could possibly lead to charges being laid. “I can’t speak to whether that will happen,” said Wagner. Contractors arrived on scene soon after the spill and they have been sucking up gasoline and scraping away contaminated snow. “We’re fortunate that
there’s enough snow that absorbed the fuel,” said Wagner. That has kept the gasoline from spreading, and it’s not believed Coldstream Creek has been impacted. “Fuel went into the catch basins but nothing migrated into the storm sewer or water bodies,” said Wagner. Final cleanup could possibly take up to a week. As part of the design of the store, a fuel containment system was developed. “It’s worked as intended in terms of containing the fuel to that specific site,” said Seibel.

Health care issues hurt
T
hroughout society, a lot of faith is put into our medical system. We rely on the doctors, nurses, surgeons and all types of health care practitioners to keep us alive and well. So it’s no wonder we value them so much. Therefore, it’s alarming to hear that a cornerstone in health care is closing its doors. The Vernon Family Doctors Medical Clinic is being forced to shut down in March due to a doctor shortage. It seems unfathomable that one of our walk-in clinics could Jennifer Smith close when you consider just how busy each and every clinic is on a daily basis. Anyone who has ever been to a walk-in knows the wait times can be excruciating. But they go because it is still better than waiting up at the emergency room (which can take hours upon hours) and even better than waiting weeks to get an appointment to see a family doctor, if you’re lucky enough to have one. And that is the thing about our doctor shortage, it’s nothing new. I would wager a bet to estimate there are hundreds of citizens who use the walk-in clinic as their primary physician source because they simply can’t get a family doctor. And when it comes to the clinic in question, there is a particular at-risk population which frequents the walk-in. It includes those who are struggling to make ends meet, our most vulnerable citizens who lack the resources to access proper health care and those who not only lack a doctor, but a home. This closure is going to hurt them the most as many do not have the means to travel across town to one of the other two clinics.
At RAndoM
What about the refugees who are moving into the area, or others who are coming here to escape their own crisis? They are going to have health care needs as well, which will likely have to be met through a walk-in clinic. Like the medical director explained, this situation isn’t unique to Vernon, it’s a Canada-wide problem. It exists in every level of health care. Just look at someone who has been trying for months, if not years, to see a specialist or surgeon, meanwhile their existing issues continue to exasperate. Our seniors are laying in hospital beds, waiting for space in a care home, where they can live out their final years with dignity. Unfortunately, only those who can afford it are granted this, while too many seniors are living on mediocre pensions which do not afford them anything. We need more funded care homes and staff so that we can take care of our elders when we can no longer do so at home. It all leads to poor outcomes. This deficiency throughout health care just ends up hurting those it is supposed to help. There’s lower quality and quantity of care, compromised patient safety with overworked doctors and staff and unnecessary patient deaths while waiting for health care. The closure of one of Vernon’s walk-in clinics only adds to the problem. There is no doubt it is going to add to the already lengthy wait times at the other clinics and it’s going to put more strain on the doctors we do have left in town. It’s also going to cause more people to go directly to the emergency room with their needs, whether they are emergent or not. It may be a private clinic that is closing, but it is a public issue which deserves attention.
When it comes to helping others, the phrase ‘think globally, act locally’ comes to mind. As Canada prepares to welcome thousands of Syrian refugees in the coming months, there are those willing to do everything in their power to help, and it’s admirable. At the same time, there are others demanding that we ‘look after our own’ first – and the many who do just that every day are also admirable. There’s no question the need in our own backyard is great; even some of our closest neighbours are struggling. It’s a need that receives less public attention than its international counterpart, although it’s often brought to the forefront a little more this time of year, as Christmas approaches, despite its year-round presence. As calls to focus on our own continue to permeate the refugee discussion, we suggest it’s a good time for all of us to ask ourselves, what exactly have we done to make things better for others? Have we donated to the food bank? Have we checked in on that neighbour who hasn’t been seen in a few days? Have we offered to help serve meals at the local soup kitchen? Before we criticize the help that’s being given to our international neighbours based on the belief that ‘charity begins at home,’ those questions deserve due consideration. Some say how we respond to the plight of Syrian refugees is a test of our values and generosity. The same can be said – and we would venture to an even greater degree – about how we look after our own community. It’s easy to pretend problems, both locally and globally, don’t exist, if we stay inside, turn off our televisions, close our curtains and unplug from the Internet. But it’s neither right nor fair to point to one group that needs help and say, we can’t help you because we have to help our own. Especially if we’re not. And really, even if charity does begin at home, does it have to stop there? -Black Press

Agriculture is important too
y wife and I have been farming in the local community since 1979. We raised our five children and supported ourselves from our farming income. People would comment on how important farming and agriculture is and how we must protect the farm land for the future. We would sell our products wholesale and found we were always getting squeezed to lower our pricing until we finally had to start marketing our own products. Through this process, we were introduced to the Vernon Farmers Market. When we introduced ourselves to the local community through this venue our business began to flourish and the market revenue became a considerable amount of our total revenue. The Vernon Farmers Market began on what is now the Vernon Performing Arts Centre, 35 years ago. The market was started by local farmers and some of them, or their children, are there today. The regional district needed the property for the building of the performing arts centre and asked the market if it would move. The regional district explained that it was building a multi-use facility and
ARENA REBUTTAL In regards to J.A. Kitchen's letter concerning the twinning of Kal Tire Place, the residents of BX, as well as Coldstream, are voting on this issue as they will be contributing to the cost of it. Do you honestly think we would be able to vote on it if it were strictly a City of Vernon endeavor? And yes I pay less taxes in the BX because I don't have sidewalks in front of my house. I don't have hydrants every other street, nor do I have sewer. Use the pond at Silver Star for an ice surface for minor hockey, etc. or move to Saskatchewan? Really, is that the best solution you can come up with? Whichever way you decide to vote, for goodness sake people, base it on facts. That is democracy. David Sibilleau PARKING PROBLEM I am writing this letter in reference
this would become the permanent home of the Vernon Farmers Market. The market took a hit financially with the move since as we know, it takes time for people to change habits and this was the case with the market and their customers. However, the people of Vernon eventually embraced this new location and the market is thriving today. There was talk of a second sheet of ice to be built down the road but not to worry because it would be located to the west on the Kin Race Track property and this would be the most feasible with the infrastructure of the to the facts on twinning Kal Tire Place. Vernon Mayor Akbal Mund wrote. "I think people who are saying there is no parking need to look at the facts.” he said on his personal Facebook page. I live in the 4100 block of 34th Street in the Alexis Park area, not three blocks from Kal Tire Place. Here are the real facts of parking when there is an event like the Remembrance Day ceremony going on in Kal Tire Place. With only the one arena, there is not enough parking at Kal Tire Place so people take to the side streets in the Alexis Park area. It is impossible to park anywhere on my street, and many other streets in the area during an event. All the parking is taken in front of my house and all the way down the street on both sides by the people that are going to events at Kal Tire Place. It is basically a one-way street during these events. Alexis Park is a residential area and
current building and parking. It appears the time has come for the new sheet of ice and it also appears that politically, the west option for the expansion is not going to work so the new sheet of ice will go where the Vernon Farmers Market's permanent location is. The market appears to be the least important component to the city in this expansion. The city is telling the market that it can have the back portion of the parking lot that is left over after the expansion is complete. This will be two-thirds the size of the current market. We still hear after 36 years how
important agriculture is: buying local, protecting farm land and that children should know where and how food is produced. However, we see that this is just lip service when it comes to future planning. Most communities have a fairgrounds or agriculture complex and the community grows up around it. This provides a community with a constant reminder of the way agriculture plays an important role in their everyday lives. This does not mean that farmers don’t support sports and sports facilities since many of them have children and grandchildren that take part in many sports including hockey. But we feel that agriculture should be just as important and should not be shuffled as though it weren’t. We would like the City of Vernon to show how important agriculture is in our community by giving it as much consideration as a sports facility, arts centre, library or any other public facility. Anyone that has been to the market knows the value of it. Our Vernon Farmers Market is an amazing market and we should all be very proud of it and do everything we can to protect it and keep it growing. Joel and Rita Allen
the parking is for the people that live on these streets and their families and friends. The fact of parking is this will put a huge strain on the people living in this area. Residents are not able to park in front of their own homes and have to park many blocks away. There are quite a few seniors in this area and, I for one, am on disability. I do not appreciate all the cars that clog up my neighbourhood during these events that do not allow me or anyone of my family and/or friends to park in front of my house or even on my street. Mund also goes on to say, ”This new arena can be used for more sports groups than anyone has thought of – hockey, ... badminton, the list could go on. Why do people here in Vernon think we need more parking for two arenas that will have a total capacity of less than 3,500 seats?" The fact is there aren’t enough spots
with one arena. What will it be like with two? With all of these events going on in both arenas, the parking will be totalling lacking in available spaces. Not to mention it is a school zone with Alexis Park Elementary School directly across the street. What about the school buses and parents picking children up? What about the children's safety? I know people use the school parking lot during these events. What happens when an event is on during parent/teacher meetings, PAC meetings or any event the school is hosting. Where are these people to park? I have heard that events won’t be scheduled at the same time in both sheets of ice, so why do we need the second sheet of ice? In the upcoming referendum, I will be voting no. Shelagh McGinn
TWINNING PLAN Why didn't the Vernon Art Gallery expansion make it to the electoral phase? The twin sheeting of the Kal Tire Place made it to a ballot, no problem, but the VAG? Nada. We need to recognize our priorities between the artistic community and the sports community. We both have equal rights, yet why is the sports community represented by more powerfully influential people than the arts community? Wishing for more money for everyone. Mike Sturdy

announced that any possible changes to laundry services at all hospitals are on hold. “As the new president and chief executive officer of Interior Health, I plan to take additional time in reviewing the future of our laundry services,” said Chris Mazurkewich. “Subsequently, a decision on the possibility of outsourcing the service will not occur until at least March when recommendations are presented to the IH board of directors for its consideration. This process has taken, unfortunately, longer than anyone anticipated, and I want to take the time to understand all of the complexities around this significant issue.” Mazurkewich admits

Regional Board Highlights – November 2015 Program and Service Update
The Regional Board has received an update on program and service accomplishments during the third quarter of the year. These include receipt of a Small Communities Fund grant of $1.9-million for upgrades to the Killiney Beach water system; the creation of two new composting instructional videos by the Regional Waste Reduction Office; two national awards for the Economic Development Commission; a clean GST audit report and the start of preparations for the 2016 budget process. Service Agreements for Fringe Area Planning have been endorsed between the Regional District and four member municipalities. Three draft park management plans are being developed; a new Cottonwoods pedestrian bridge has been installed over Mission Creek and a community consultation survey was conducted on possible infrastructure upgrades for the third access to Fintry Community Park.
FrontCounter BC Referral Application
The Regional Board has given conditional approval to an application made to FrontCounter BC from the owners of the La Casa development strata. The Strata Corporation has applied to purchase three tenured parcels of Crown land totaling 3.28-hectares in order to protect existing land uses and on one parcel to construct amenities for the strata owners at the resort.
Starling Control Program
The Regional Board has received an update from the BC Grapegrowers Association on the Starling Control Program. Each regional district in the Okanagan Similkameen contributes $25,000 annually to the program that is administered and managed by the Association. The program provides trapping control, research and public education about the impact of the bird species on the agricultural industry.
Solid Waste Bylaw Amendment
The Regional Board has adopted an amendment to the Solid Waste Management Regulation Bylaw adding a four per cent late payment penalty.
Water Rates and Systems Bylaw
The Regional Board has adopted bylaws for each of its six water systems outlining increases and restructuring of basic fees and consumption rates starting January 1st. The rates are designed to encourage conservation and to be more equitable for low and medium water users. A Water Rate Estimator tool is available at regionaldistrict.com/water.
Sunset Ranch Sewer Rate Adjusted
The Regional Board has adopted an amendment to the Central Okanagan East Sewer Systems Bylaw. The annual rate of service for each household in the Sunset Ranch community will increase starting January 2016 by approximately 12% ($38.52) to offset additional operating expenses and costs from the City of Kelowna. A four per cent late payment penalty is included in the bylaw.
Regional Board and Governance and Services Committee Meetings
The Regional Board has approved its schedule of meetings for 2016, including 11 meetings of the Governance and Services Committee. Review and public comment on the 2016-2020 Financial Plan will be held on February 25th and March 10th. The Financial Plan will be considered for final approval at a public meeting starting at 9:00 am, Thursday, March 31st. Visit regionaldistrict.com for all meeting dates.

that the delay may be frustrating for 175 laundry staff who are anticipating a decision. “In moving forward, I plan to work with the team leading the review to gather all of the information available to ensure we make a thorough recommendation to our board,” he said. M a z u r k e w i c h’s announcement is being welcomed by the Hospital Employees Union. “We’re pleased that under new leadership, the IHA is taking a seri-
ous look at the plans for hospital laundries,” said Jennifer Whiteside, HEU secretary-business manager. “So far, we have not seen any valid justification for the health authority to forge ahead with contracting out this efficient, publicly delivered service. We need the IHA to be a champion of protecting family-supporting jobs and a clearly well-run service in their region. That would be a win-win situation for everybody.” Recently, Simon
Fraser University economist Marvin Shaffer reviewed two IHA documents to analyze its rationale for outsourcing laundry services, and he says he found no valid business case for privatization. In one document, the cost of building the facility using a public-private partnership arrangement was estimated at $20 million. Another document pegged the cost at $10 million, if it was built by the private sector. “There is no explanation of why there should be such a discrepancy, particularly given that in both cases the facility would be built by the private sector,” said Shaffer. Shaffer’s review was commissioned by the HEU.
Committees shaken up ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Armstrong’s mayor is a man of his word. Chris Pieper said 12 months ago he would switch council members to different committees. “I said we’d bounce people around after a year,” said Pieper during Monday’s Chris Pieper regular council meeting. “I’ve changed the committee structures for no reason other than just allowing people to get more experience.” Steven Drapala takes over as chairperson of the public works committee while veteran councillors Shirley Fowler (finance and administration, community services) and Paul Britton (planning and development) remain as chairs. “Everybody on committees last year did a great job and now they’re going to let some people rotate around and do a great job again,” said Pieper. “I’ll
probably do it again next December.” Britton has been named acting mayor for the year with Fowler as the alternate. Lance McGregor and Britton take over the city’s parks and recreation appointments from Linda Werner and Ron (Sully) O’Sullivan. Werner remains as the city’s representative to the Okanagan Regional Library board, while O’Sullivan continues with the age-friendly community advisory committee. Fowler will still be the city’s appointee to the Regional District of North Okanagan board. Pieper will represent the city at the intermunicipal emergency operations and fire training centre advisory boards, along with the Rathfriland (Northern Ireland) Sister City committee. Liaison appointments include McGregor (Armstrong Heritage Society, Chamber of Commerce, First Nations), Britton (Armstrong Spallumcheen Trails Society, City of Vernon Affordable Housing Committee), O’Sullivan (Okanagan Boys and Girls Club, Seniors Housing) and Drapala (Boys and Girls Club).
Local apple pick of the crop Morning Star Staff
A Lake Country orchardist has captured top honours on the national stage. David Geen, of Coral Beach Farms, was recognized for his Salish apples at the National Apple Competition at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto. “I congratulate the orchardists who grew exceptional crops, even with the challenging early season and hot weather in 2015,” said Fred Steele,
B.C. Fruit Growers Association president. Geen is one of the largest cherry growers in the Okanagan and he also has one of the larger blocks of Salish apples in the region. Also participating in the National Apple Competition were Andrew and Penny Gambell, of Gambell Farms in Lake Country. They grow ambrosia, honey crisp, and aurora golden gala apple varieties.

Residents accept refugees kevin parnell Black Press
An Oyama vineyard owner has decided to follow her heart and not give into fear. Roxana Adams and her husband Bruce are making a carriage house on their property available to house Syrian refugees if needed and have received the proper approval from the District of Lake Country to make it possible. The couple, who operate Living Water Certified Organic Vineyard, received a temporary use permit that will allow them to house refugees on their nearly six-acre Oyama property if the need arises. “This is a humanitarian issue that affects the whole world,” said Roxana. “I’ve never seen anything like this in my lifetime. We talked about it and our carriage house is empty for most of the winter. We just thought ‘why not?’ I think some people will say ‘not in my backyard,’ but I think that’s coming from people’s fears and not being led by their heart. There are a very few number of people that are the ones that are terrorists. It’s miniscule. These people are leaving something that is really bad and I agree that we should be doing our part to help.” Adams added that she believes the Canadian government has and will continue to do an excellent job of screening. “It is the very vulnerable that are being allowed in,” she said. “Women and children, families and often relatives of families already here, well-educated families and many that have been waiting through this refugee process for a few years now, already in the system,” she said. The Adams’ appeared at Lake Country council earlier this month to ask for the special permit to allow for housing refugees, something that is not accepted under their agri-tourism designation.

Roxana and Bruce Adams are ready to accept Syrian refugees to their Oyama property. Two members of the public spoke up against the application and the district also received a few letters on the issue. All people who wrote or spoke against the move said they support efforts to help refugees but said a vineyard in Oyama that has agri-tourism designation was not the proper spot.
In a letter to Lake Country council Rosemary Misfeldt said she is in favour of helping out refugees but said a more urban area would be better for several reasons including the refugees potential isolation, lack of transportation and lack of contact with other refugees.
But at the vineyard, Adams said a rural setting might be just what is needed for a family who has been through what the Syrian refugees are dealing with and added Oyama Traditional School is very close to her location and the school bus goes right past their home. She said church groups, who have taken the lead on bringing refugees into Canada, will work with families to help with transportation and becoming immersed in the community. “The churches get very involved with getting them to family dinners and intermingling with other people that are already here with their own families,” said Adams who stressed she feels it is important for Canadians to make refugees welcome. “It’s really important that the youth are felt like they are welcomed because that is the group that will carry on. We have to make them welcome. That’s where our heart has to lead over our fear.”

Shopping local is being promoted among residents. The Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce is taking part in Shop the Neighbourhood, which takes place Saturday between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. “The campaign is meant to reinforce the benefits of shopping in your neighbourhood rather than purchasing something online from another region or country,” said Dan Rogers, Greater Vernon Chamber general manager. “Consumers have plenty of choices so we are simply reminding them about the many benefits of shopping local. It creates jobs, helps stimulate the local economy, circulates dollars within the local area and ultimately builds a stronger community.” The chamber is teaming up with Downtown Vernon Association during the Christmas LightUp Saturday to recognize shoppers who are spending their money locally. Those recognized by the chamber and DVA will earn complimentary DVA dollars. “It’s perfect that the messaging around shop local coincides with the Light-Up as it is a great way to encourage the entire community to act together, shop local and enjoy the holiday spirit that will clearly be on display during our downtown LightUp,” said Hailey Rilkoff, DVA events and marketing co-ordinator. In 2014, more than 750,000 Canadians joined the shop local campaign, spending $89 million at local businesses during the Shop the Neighbourhood event.

Coldstream is getting ready to light up the holiday season. Everyone is invited to the 13th annual Christmas Light Up Sunday at 6 p.m. at the Coldstream Christian Church, where a full festival of fun awaits. “It’s a chance to light up the season and light up Coldstream,” said David Hockley, church pastor. Visit with Santa before the big holiday, warm up by the bonfire with the Coldstream firefighters and enjoy a hot beverage, hot dog and Christmas cookies (which you can decorate). Participants can enjoy the musical entertainment of the Coldstream Church choir, the live nativity and a petting zoo provided by Davison Orchards. “It’s going to be fun,” said Hockley. “And it’s all free but we take donations for the food bank.” There’s also activities for the kids, popcorn, crafts and prizes during the celebration. “We always have indoor crafts if people need a break from the cold,” said Hockley. Coldstream Christian Church is located on Kalamalka Road across from the District of Coldstream office. “I would like to thank the church and community members involved in putting on the light up for their efforts every year,” said Mayor Jim Garlick. “I also encourage all those planning on attending to bring along donations for the food bank to help out those in need.”

Lumby is ready to shine bright for the holidays. The annual Christmas Light Up festivities take place Sunday in Gazebo Park. “We want to get people and the entire community into the holiday spirit,” said Stephanie Sexsmith, Lumber Chamber of Commerce manager. “It really brings the community together.” Enjoy free hot dogs, hot chocolate and Christmas carols and welcome Santa Claus at 4 p.m. when he is escorted by the Lumby Fire Department. Even though this is a busy time at the year at the North Pole toy shop, Sexsmith always makes sure Santa has time to drop by the village and meet local children. “We have a special phone line to him,” she said. Beyond Santa, other special activities are scheduled during the celebrations. Among them will be a performance by the Lumby Figure Skating Club at Pat Duke Arena at 5:30 p.m. and then a free public skate from 5:45 to 7 p.m. And as it’s the season of giving, Lumby residents are asked to think of their neighbours. “Please bring a donation for the food bank to either the park or the arena,” said Sexsmith. Light Up’s sponsors include Super A Foods, Lumby Dollar Dollar, the Royal Canadian Legion, the Regional District of North Okanagan and the Village of Lumby. Sexsmith is urging everyone from the village and surrounding area to take part in the festivities. “It’s a great start to getting people in the mood for Christmas,” she said.

Vipers take point off No. 1 Vees Black Press Sports
Undefeated at home, ranked No. 1 in the 126team Canadian Junior Hockey League, loaded with projected first-round NHL draft picks and NCAA refugees, and losers of just two games. The Penticton Vees are a B.C. Hockey League powerhouse and on pace to break the New Westminster Royals’ record 108-point season in 1989-90 should they run the table. The Vernon Vipers, struggling around the .500 digit, appeared unimpressed with the Vees’ numbers, earning a point in a 4-3 overtime loss before 2,521 fans Wednesday night at the South Okanagan Events Centre. The new and improved Vipers, who have tweaked their roster with four new additions in the last few weeks, actually held a 3-2 lead until defenceman Griffin Mendel’s point shot was deflected by Scott Conway past Viper goalie Andrew Shortridge with 1:36 to play. Conway, who played for the Nittany Lions at Penn State last year, scored his 20th of the season at 3:17 of overtime, stretching his point streak to 24 games. “It was just one of those things,” said Viper head coach Mark Ferner, of the 3-3 equalizer. “It goes back to the point and maybe we could have blocked it. The defenceman just throws it at the net and it finds a way to go in. “When teams are playing well and they’re on a roll, that’s what happens; they find a way to tie it and they find a way to win it. They’re an older group and they’re a good, talented group. They didn’t panic; they stuck with it and they got a seeing-eye goal to tie it.” Said Vees’ coach Fred Harbinson of Conway: “He played in the Big 10 last year. He was on the all-rookie team. We knew he was going to be able to contribute offensively. He’s gotten some big goals, a lot of game -inning goals for us. It’s exciting. It was a MARK BRETT/BLACK PRESS SPORTS game we had to grind out with that many guys (five) Odeen Tufto of the Vernon Vipers, right, tangles with Scott Conway of the Penticton Vees in BCHL action Wednesday night at the South out of the lineup.” Okanagan Events Centre. The Vees rallied to clip the Vipers 4-3 in overtime. Conway netted the late 3-3 equalizer and overtime snipe. Vernon, fourth in the Interior Division at 13-13-02, led 2-0 early in the second period. D-man Griffin the other helper.

Odeen Tufto and Charley after Shortridge recorded two fabulous stops in tight.

We were on them really hard and created some Fabbro’s slapper from the point. “We’re disappointed we didn’t come out of here with two opportunities and kept them on their heels.” Shortridge dove to deny Conway’s one-timer on a later points, but certainly happy we got one, and more imporpowerplay.

Mills moves Steam past North Okanagan 3-2 Morning Star Staff
Ten straight games against divisional rivals started off on the wrong skate for the North Okanagan Knights. Game star Jack Mills’ second goal of the night five minutes into the third period gave the hometown Summerland Steam a 3-2 win over the Knights in Kootenay International Junior Hockey League play Tuesday. The Knights (5-17-1-4) have lost nine games by one goal. “It was a good game, we were right there and we played fairly well,” said Knights’ head coach Bryant Perrier. “We’re starting to move the puck better and we played a
pretty good team in Summerland pretty even. We had them running around at times.” After Paulsen Lautard scored the only goal of the opening period, Mills padded the lead shorthanded 1:55 into the second period. Patrick Nicholson, with his first as a Knight (2nd of the season), cut the lead to 2-1 on the same powerplay 11 seconds later, and North Okanagan game star Ryan Moon, with his third of the year, tied things up at 8:16. Daniel Paul made 30 saves for the Knights, who were outshot 33-28. The win vaulted Summerland (16-8-0-0) into second place in the Okanagan Shuswap Division, two points
ahead of the Kelowna Chiefs. Brayden Dale scored all of Kelowna’s goals in a 3-0 Chiefs win over the Knights Saturday in Rutland. Six days prior, Dale’s younger brother Brody had both goals, including the overtime winner, as the Chiefs beat the Knights 2-1. Joshua Tetlichi made 18 saves for the shutout. Paul made 42 for the Knights. North Okanagan holds a two-point edge on the Princeton Posse in the battle for fourth place in the Okanagan Shuswap Division. The Knights hosts the division-leading Osoyoos Coyotes tonight at 7:30 at the Nor-Val Sports Centre.

Jordan Tung recorded 26 saves as the Vernon Venom stuffed the Kelowna Renegades 6-2 in Under 12 ringette play Sunday. Makenna Jackson jumpstarted Vernon’s offence at 20 seconds, passing to Kristen Francks who opened the scoring. A minute later, Hillary Quiring fed Jackson, who buried the ring. Kelowna answered to make it 2-1 at the half. The second half saw a proliferation of goal scoring prowess, with Taylor Hewitt running a drop pass to Sierra Fernley who snuck one past the Kelowna goalie. The Renegades replied just before Brianna Visser set up Caryss Hill for a Vernon marker. Aimee Skinner scored unassisted, and Francks connected with Jackson to close out the scoring. Skinner, Amelia Johnson, Sophia Bilodeau and Zion White were bold on the blue line. The Vernon Crushers outlasted the Kelowna Ice Angels 11-9 in thrilling U10 play. Sydney Lewis exploded for an early hat trick before the Angels managed two goals. Verity White and Emily Gilman put the Crushers up 5-2 at the half. The Angels battled to within one in the final half before two goals each by Madison Edgar and Kennedy Jackson put the Crushers up by two again. White finished off a beautiful tic-tac-toe passing play to get her second of the game and put Vernon up again. With Kelowna pressing, Edgar was awarded a penalty shot and she went top cheddar for the hatty. The Vernon U14 A Ignite lost 6-2 to the Kelowna U16 Bs in other action.

Max Stewart of the Bannister GM Inferno takes a slapshot in front of Ephren-Potter of the Butcher Boys Rebels in Pee Wee Super Hockey League play Sunday. Harison late in the third. Jared Ross made several great saves. Meanwhile, the Butcher Boys Rebels (7-0-1) vaulted atop the Pee Wee Super League. A five-point outburst by Ronan Bedard (2+3) propelled the Rebels to a 9-2 thumping of the Winfield Bruins Saturday at PV Arena. Ephren PotterCramer (2+2) was the catalyst on the first goal, intercepting the puck in the Bruin end and locating Bedard at the back door. Next, Kayden Bowering forced a turnover and fed point man Gabe Jones, who buried a half-clapper. Potter-Cramer soon
pumped in another. Kobe Marchand followed by banging in the Rebels’ fourth, after Tyler Hamilton neatly redirected Quinn Soon’s pass cross-crease. Winfield claimed the middle frame’s lone goal. The Rebels rang up five more in the third. Potter-Cramer and Morgan Martens dented mesh with heavy shots, Bedard slipped one in from behind the net and Dawson Twamley bagged a pair. On Sunday the Rebels quelled the Bannister GM Inferno 5-3 at Civic Arena. Six minutes in, Twamley slid home the first goal. Later, Bowering
sent Marchand in for a shot on the fly, and Hamilton stuffed in the loose puck. The Rebels went up 3-0 in the second, as Connor Cecchini held the puck in at the Inferno line and fired on net. Potter-Cramer swooped in and roofed the rebound. The Inferno got two quick goals by Ben Straight and Chris Bond. The winning goal, eight minutes into the third, saw Twamley juke through an Inferno gauntlet before going top corner. The Rebels added insurance as Bedard tipped in a slap pass from Soon.

Magnums rule Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Magnums ambushed the Prince George Axemen 55-0 in the B.C. Junior Bantam Nine-Man Football League final Saturday night in Kamloops. Trent Charlton, the game’s leading receiver with three receptions for 71 yards, scored on the first two drives with catches of 40 and 20 yards. Tight end Isaiah Ondrik joined the scoring parade on the following possession when he hauled in a 10-yard TD pass. Before time expired in the first quarter, Zack Smith returned a punt for a touchdown and William Satterthwaite hauled in a 10-yard TD reception, making the score 40-0. The barrage continued in the second quarter with tailback Jared Cooper scoring from 10 yards. “These boys brought their ‘A’ game all season long and this game was no different,” said head coach Doug Ondrik. “We had five different players score touchdowns and 13 make tackles today which shows the depth of talent that we had.” The second half saw Ondrik return an interception 45 yards for a touchdown and Charlton add two
field goals to round out the scoring. Smith, who also played quarterback, was named the Most Valuable Player, completing 6-of-7 passes for 101 yards and four scores. “We were very efficient on offence, getting five touchdowns on 16 plays from scrimmage,” said offensive coordinator Sean Smith. “I was so proud of the way the boys executed all season long. We were running an offence that required a lot of knowledge and they were not only able to handle it, but excelled running it.” Ethan Schiman, Ethan Mitchell and Matthew Reich all contributed five tackles apiece, while Liam Gombrich and Charlton each recorded three. Brady Szeman and Devin Hofsink pocketed two tackles apiece, while Joey Mazzei, Bachir Ige, Taber Maclean and Cooper earned one each. Smith and Ondrik added picks. The Magnums finished 11-0 and allowed only two touchdowns all year. “This has been a great group of kids to coach and they were not only talented but also a hard-working bunch. I look forward to watching them do great things as they move to the high school level,” said Ondrik.
Tirecraft rolls by Kal Tire Morning Star Staff
Peters Tirecraft was growing weary of dropping a series of tough losses in the Vernon Men’s Indoor Soccer League. Tirecraft stopped the losing skid Wednesday night with a sweet 3-1 victory over Vernon Kal Tire at the VantageOne Indoor Centre. Tirecraft stepped up and played with steely determination, taking an early lead off goals from Mike Conlin and a fantastic strike by tireless Brock Ream. It was 2-0 at the break. Kal Tire responded with a relentless attack after the recess, but Tirecraft acrobatic keeper Dean Buse stepped up big with massive saves off sniper Ryan Sharp and smooth as Crown Royal Mike Arding. “Englishman Billy was a stud all
night for Kal Tire,” said Tirecraft veteran midfielder Brad Conlin. “We weathered the storm forcing the play back at Kal Tire and securing a third goal off a super strike by Christian Demillville finishing off a Mike Conlin rebound.” Kal Tire eventually popped one behind Buse but could not break down the determined Tirecraft crew. Both teams played extremely hard with tough battles all over the field in a super fast-paced game. Tirecraft Man of the Match was Marcello Najeva, who played every position with great success. Sharp and Arding put in strong performances for Kal Tire all night, moving the ball forward to strikers who kept the Tirecraft defenders on high alert.

Horoscope BY EUGENIA LAST
YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY It will be necessary to evenly divide your personal and professional responsibilities if you wish to reach your goals this year. Joint business ventures look promising once clear lines are drawn. A tumultuous personal issue will develop and, if handled properly, will lead to a closer connection.
Crossword Puzzle
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Don’t underestimate the power of your opinion. Make the most of any group situations to initiate productive networking. Services, purchases and professional opportunities will develop from intelligent and shared discussions. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Instead of looking after everyone else, you should engage in some personal pampering. A short visit to a spa, a sporting event or even a shopping spree will help free your mind and ease your stress. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Participating in a cause close to your heart will give you the chance to make compatible and interesting contacts. Delays regarding travel and communications are to be expected. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Be sure to evaluate the total cost before taking on any home renovations. Leave some funds available for an unexpected expense so you don’t incur debt and worry. ARIES (March 21-April 19) It’s a good day to spend some quiet time reflecting on past dreams and goals. Unplug, unwind and write down the things you have accomplished and the goals you have yet to achieve. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Remain cool. Expect obstacles and prepare to bypass them. Don’t give in to frustration, depression or self-doubt. You have what it takes to triumph.
Previous Solution
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Refrain from starting something new. Focus on completing tasks that you have been reluctant to finish. Taking on more responsibilities when you are already overdoing it will be costly. CANCER (June 21-July 22) A business or educational seminar will motivate you to begin a new project. Be fair in your personal
relationships. Ensure that you are not burdening your loved ones with too many responsibilities. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You will receive an enticing proposal, but before you jump on it, do your homework. An impulsive leap to a new position will not bring the results you were hoping for.
A FREE presentation by RadonBC.ca Monday November 30 • 7:00-8:00pm Vernon Public Library Meeting Room 2800 - 30 Avenue, Vernon A fun, fast-paced presention about Radon gas: what it is, where it comes from and why you should test your home for its presence. For advance questions, call 250.549.0119 or email dan@radonbc.ca
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Don’t expect everyone to favor your ideas. If you have your heart set on a certain activity or project, prepare to move forward on your own. The final decision must be yours.
Alpha Track home test kits are available for purchase after the presentation.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) An eye for detail and meticulous record keeping will ensure that all of your personal papers are in tiptop shape. Leave some room for romance late in the day. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Invest in yourself. Jumping into a fast-cash scheme will end badly. Focus on education, apprenticeships and raising your qualifications and awareness. Greater satisfaction will come through learning and taking on challenges.

“What are you going to give up in your everyday life?”
3309 - 39th Ave
250-545-3351 www.silverspringsvernon.ca
your everyday life that could make a difference for a child living in poverty? Examples would be $5 for a latte, $10 for a movie night out. Would you give that up to make sure a kid has a meal, that they have a safe and warm place to live?” Donations can be made by texting giveitup4kids to 20222. Once a donation is made, the social media aspect of the campaign kicks in. Donors are challenged to take a selfie photo with what they gave up, then post it on social media and challenge five or more friends to do the same thing. “We had a leftover takeaway container here in the office,” said Gilmore. “One worker gave up going out for lunch, so took a picture with the container to represent the lunch. I gave up dinner out, so I used the same takeout container. The reality probably is I’m not going to avoid going out for dinner, but I’m making a conscious effort that for $25, which is the value of going out for dinner, I’m helping a child who doesn’t have breakfast, doesn’t have snacks, may not have a place to live.”

Myths & realities:
You wanna roll like a gangster? ▾ MYTH: Gangs have formal organization and structure: Reality: By and large, few youth gangs evolve into adult criminal organizations and most gangs are loosely structured, with transient membership and easily breached codes of loyalty. With many gang members being arrested or murdered, membership is usually in a constant state of flux with internal competition for leadership roles.

Pacific Coastal Airlines’ inaugural flight from Victoria arrives at Kelowna International Airport Monday.
Flight options expand Morning Star Staff
There are more opportunities for North Okanagan residents to soar. Monday marked the launch of Pacific Coastal Airlines’ new non-stop service between the Okanagan and Victoria. And on Dec. 1, Central Mountain Air will increase capacity on its route between Kelowna, Prince George and Terrace.
Pacific Coastal’s new flights will operate seven days a week using a Saab 340 aircraft. The new flights will operate twice a day Monday to Friday and once a day Saturday and Sunday. “We know there is a significant market opportunity for this new route,” says Sam Samaddar, Kelowna International Airport director. With the establish-
ment of this new air service, PASCO has chosen to set up a new permanent base at YLW, which includes the hiring of six new staff. “This is a significant move for Pacific Coastal Airlines,” said Jenelle Hynes, PASCO’s business development and customer service manager for the Okanagan. Central Mountain’s route will now be serviced by a 37-seat Dash

Victoria provides grants locally Morning Star Staff
Two Nor th Okanagan communities are getting a financial boost. The provincial government is distributing $17.3 million in compensation for municipal property taxes to 56 communities around the province. Among them $3,735 for Lumby and $101,427 for Vernon. Grants-in-lieu of property taxes are distributed every November and reimburse municipalities for services that benefited government properties, such as municipally run sewers, roads and fire protection.

There was a festive spirit in Lumby Sunday. Students, parents and residents gathered to help J.W. Inglis Elementary School make 80 holiday cedar swags, which will decorate the village. “The turnout was beyond our expectations, with more than 40 families attending and many of them having so much fun, they made more than one swag,” said Christine Lishman, with the parent advisory committee. Among those exhibiting their creativity were Mayor Kevin Acton, MLA Eric Foster, the RCMP and Vernon School District representatives. “There’s something new to the swags this year,” said Lishman. “In recognition of each person’s or family’s contribution, they were able to attach a name tag, proudly displaying their name for all to see their dedication to the school and the community.” As a result of the swags project, the village donated $2,000 to the school to purchase new home reading books. The books also promote Learn to Read with the RCMP, which is organized by Const. Gary McLaughlin. The program helps promote literacy by encouraging students to read each night. If they reach the goal of 250 evenings of reading, they receive a ride to school in a police cruiser. Last year, 143 students participated and nine students received a ride to school. “We would also like to send out a huge thank you to Kineshanko Logging and Guideit Bros. Contracting who graciously collected and delivered all of the cedar bough,” said Lishman.

Syilx artist David Wilson talks about the meaning behind his painting, Star Blanket of Life, unveiled at the entrance to Vernon Jubilee Hospital’s Polson Tower, Tuesday.
Artist unveils Star Blanket of Life at VJH Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
A new painting created by a local Syilx (Okanagan) artist is offering a bright repose, while recognizing the health needs of aboriginal people in the community. Star Blanket of Life, painted by David Wilson, was unveiled at the entrance to Polson Tower at Vernon Jubilee Hospital Tuesday in a ceremony attended by hospital and B.C. Interior Health Authority personnel as well as members of the Okanagan Indian Band. Wilson’s painting is one of three artworks created by aboriginal artists commissioned by the health authority to be displayed at Vernon Jubilee, Kelowna General and Penticton Regional hospitals, respectively. “This speaks to reconciliation and art is one of the best means to express those views,” said OIB chief Byron Louis, speaking before the crowd after a prayer by local elder Victor Antoine and a drumming ceremonial song. “We are honoured to have David’s work represented at the hospital.” The art commission was born from a historic agreement signed in June, 2012 between the health authority and the Okanagan Nation Alliance to represent a commitment from both organizations to work closely together to ensure more equitable and accessible health care services for the
Syilx nation and other aboriginal members, said Richard Harding, health services administrator for the North Okanagan. “We acknowledge that VJH is located on traditional Okanagan Nation territory,” said Harding. “We want to improve competent health care for aboriginal peoples and recognize the work that still needs to be done and that all people will be welcome at the hospital.”
“This speaks to reconciliation and art is one of the best means to express those views.” — Chief Byron Louis
Wilson dedicated his painting to his late nephew, who is represented in the piece by a black bear holding a ceremonial drum, which he says also represents his Syilx community. “It’s my message, born out of sorrow as a year ago my nephew passed away,” he said. “I was asked to paint his headstone. I had no words. All I could do was paint a picture and deliver a message... I also want to dedicate this to those visiting the hospital to remember that life is continual.” Influenced by a book of pictographs in the B.C. Interior by John Corner, Wilson’s
Make the switch to LED with
WHY LED?
painting – done in bright acrylics – is rife with imagery and symbolism. Besides some of the pictographs gleaned from the book, the painting shows a tree laden with eagle feathers, which Wilson says represents leaving worries to blow in the wind. A Steller’s jay (known as little eagle because of its call) represents the winter dance, which is part of Syilx ceremonies, while an owl, whose face is in the shape of a heart, is a messenger of love. “The woman touching a caterpillar means change and rebirth,” said Wilson. “The bald eagle rising is meant to represent our spirit when we are alive and when we pass, it is changed into the stars in a continual circle.” Star Blanket of Life is not the only painting of Wilson’s displayed in VJH’s Polson Tower. Two of his paintings, representing the four seasons, were commissioned in 2011 when the tower officially opened and now serve as the donors’ wall. The winner of the 2012 B.C. Achievement Awards in Aboriginal Art, Wilson’s paintings can also be found in the lobby at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre at the Vernon school board office, in various Vernon district schools, and at Headbones Gallery in Vernon. His next project is a mural he and students at Coldstream Elementary created at the school.

SECTION
www.vernonmorningstar.com
here is something about preparing a family meal that can send anyone around the bend. Add to the ingredients an estranged family, whose ideals are the polar opposite from one another, a large uncooked turkey, and the person cooking said dinner in the throes of labour, and you have the makings of a dinner gone really wrong. That’s the case in Canadian playwright David S. Craig’s Having Hope at Home, the hilarious, and dramatic, season opener at Powerhouse Theatre currently on the local stage. Set on a cold, winter’s evening, we are thrown Kristin Froneman into the chaos straight away when an argument ensues between family patriarch Russell Bingham and French Canadian dairy farmer Marcel, who is the common-law husband of Russell’s granddaughter, Carolyn. The men are stressed because of who is coming to dinner at the drafty, old run-down dairy farm where they all live, but not as stressed as Carolyn, who is nine-months pregnant. Her city dwelling parents, Bill (Russell’s son) and Jane Bingham, whom the family hasn’t seen in three years, are about to arrive and everyone is running round like headless chickens. Dad is a high expectations obstetrician who is still upset that his daughter left university, while mom thinks a Royal Doulton china figurine will solve all the world’s problems, and is horrified that her daughter is living in an unsafe hovel, unmarried. The drama kicks up a notch when it’s discovered that Carolyn is having her baby at home, with the help of a midwife named Dawn, and is in labour, both facts she has hidden from her parents for obvious reasons. “She’s a vet!” yells out Russell, when Dawn arrives on the scene. Despite dad’s feelings that a baby can’t be delivered safely at home, and mom simply feeling left out of the process, this story really is about the misconceptions built around a family that does not know how to communicate. What makes this play tick is the witty banter – bickering if you will – and then those sweeter moments when the characters actually talk to one another. All their problems aren’t solved, but it’s hopeful to see a family working out long-stewing disagreements. The witticisms and mannerisms are delivered deliciously by the six-person cast.

Arts Artists to show flights of fancy at Headbones
Morning Star Staff
Birds, feathers, and flight have long fascinated humans, from the Greek tale of Icarus flying too close to the sun to Leonardo da Vinci’s drawings of flying machines. Vernon’s Headbones Gallery is about to take flight with a new exhibition that shows alternative takes on feathering ways by Okanagan artists. Headlining A Flourish of Feathers is Vernon-born and Kelowna-based artist Crystal Przybille. The title of the show derives from a large sculpture called Wish that Przybille (pronounced Shibill) originally created for the Kelowna Art Gallery’s satellite space at the Kelowna International Airport in 2014. Made from wood and metal, the sculpture is reminiscent of two giant bird wings. “Wish is the featured presentation of A Flourish of Feathers for it is the sweeping expansive reach of this piece that suggested the title,” said Headbones owner/artist Julie Oakes. A graduate with distinction from the fine arts program at the University of Victoria, Przybille’s early work was seen in a number of solo exhibitions at the Alternator Gallery in Kelowna, the Art Gallery of the South Okanagan and the Vernon Public Art Gallery. She also spent extended time practising her art in Europe and the Arctic, with artist residencies in the Netherlands as well as in Rankin Inlet, Nunavut. “This exposure to the collections of European museums and galleries can be seen in her figurative, monumental public

It continues with a current public art commission for the Westbank First Nation,” said Oakes. Besides her Wish sculpture, Przybille will show maquettes (sculptural renditions) of both her Father Pandosy piece and the one she has created of Chief Sookinchute, showing the chief standing and raising a feathery plume towards the sky, said Oakes.

Play deals with family conundrum Doug Fairweather steals every scene playing Russell, the delightful say-it-like it-is codger, who is crippled from arthritis and suffering from heart palpitations, but is still milking the cows and chopping wood (and carrots, in one of the most hilarious scenes in the play). Felisha Anderson is truly a force to be reckoned with as Carolyn, especially when she’s trying to hide a contraction or facing down her dad. Cliff Lattery gives a valiant attempt at emulating Michel’s FrenchCanadian accent. He pulls off those endearing Quebecoisims such as when he refers to Carolyn as a “biscuit” case, because she is “flaky.” John Lomas, as stodgy Bill, and Sharon Wickstrom, as snobby Jane, both manage to make their characters sympathetic and likeable, despite their old fashioned notions. And Janet Anderson (no relation to Felisha)

On this fateful eve, they first heard of the Nutcracker Ball, the most famous of all New York Christmas parties. Tonight, what became a traditional evening of debauchery for the three friends, is going to be their last, as one of them is starting a family and another is a famous football player. When Ethan gets three tickets to the Nutcracker Ball, at least the three know they will go out with a bang in The Night Before. We say, “It’s a younger man’s Hangover.” HOWE: Watch the trailer and save yourselves $12 to put towards Christmas presents for the family. I’m not saying The Night Before isn’t a good movie, it’s just that for a comedy, the laughs are few and far between. The whole movie feels so-so. The acting is semi-decent; the jokes are not that funny (except when Rogen gets on a roll). The storyline is a little wishy-washy. Tell me, Mr. Taylor, after this
Columbia PiCtures
Anthony Mackie, Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are three friends who are up to Christmas shenanigans in The Night Before. performance are you still going to defend Gordon-Levitt as a better actor than Keanu Reeves? TAYLOR: Give it a rest. Gordon-Levitt might be a bit embarrassingly old to be portraying a guy just getting his act together, but I’ll cut him some slack, this is a Seth Rogen movie after all. I thought Rogen was brilliant in this film. His performance required him to act whacked out of his mind on various drugs. I’m not being sarcastic, or overly generous, at times he looked insane. I also really liked the Dickens-esque Christmas drug dealer character Mr. Green, played by Michael Shannon with his usual quiet intensity. HOWE: Mr. Green was probably the highlight of the entire
film. I loved the way he would just pop out of nowhere and deliver his speeches. On the other hand, I found it very slow moving in parts and dragging on towards the end. Then I couldn’t wait for it to end. TAYLOR: That’s the thing, even though I liked this more than Love the Coopers, it’s likely to score the same. Similarly, too many times in this film did I think, “Yeah, yeah. Get on with it,” which is never a good sign. At least The Night Before has a frantic, drugfuelled pace to keep us awake. This is not neces-
sarily a stoner movie, it’s really only Rogen’s character imbibing, but I do think it’s a young person’s movie. It didn’t make me laugh, but I smiled occasionally and enjoyed some of the shenanigans. Of course everything wraps up tidy. HOWE: Love the Coopers is the better film out of the two, but perhaps I’m starting to show my age with my film preference? TAYLOR: I hear you. Statler and Waldorf, signing off. – Taylor gives The Night Before 2.5 rocks out of 5. – Howe gives it 2 staffs out of 5.

DJ knows the physics of dubstep Morning Star Staff
A former astrophysics student turned dub steppin’ DJ will have dancers spinning at the 13th Floor event at 2929 Nite Club tonight. Although from a Ontario small town, Jake Langmuir, aka Dubconcious, was originally immersed in the Toronto jungle scene, and purchased his first set of turntables in 2004 while attending late-night raves and drum-andbass parties. It was that initial experience that propelled Dubconcious into his current career, one he hadn’t planned for when he started studying astrophysics at UVic. “I came from small-town Ontario and didn’t know what I wanted to do, but I graduated at the top of my physics class,” he said. “I found Victoria to be a really welcoming and warm community, and that’s when I started getting into DJing.” Dubconscious’ work, and the music he’s drawn to, has evolved over the years. “The sounds themselves have changed tremendously over my path as a DJ,” he said. “When I went out west there was a thriving break beat and drum and bass scene, and I sunk my teeth into that. Then there was the dub-wise reggae jungle scene that really drew me in.” Dubstep became popular in the mid-2000s, and it was at that point Dubconscious started getting into the roots of the music he was inter-

He collected a large number of 45 RPM records. “I just got really into old reggae, dance hall and dub,” he said, adding he found himself playing stuff he hadn’t planned for. “I never thought I’d like house music, but meanwhile I play all kinds of house and garage, as well as trap, which is popular across the board. It’s a little formulaic, but there’s still amazing things that can happen within that sub-genre.” Dubconscious is a well known Shambhala veteran, and has been a resident of the festival’s Living Room Beach Stage the past four years. He has also performed in Shambhala’s village for three of those years. Opening tonight for Dubconscious is Bob Smoke and 13th Floor’s Monticristo. Tickets
are available at www.13thfloorent. com and at the door for $10. DJ duo Groundskore performs along with The Electrofunkers and Freq E Mikey for the next 13th Floor event Dec. 4. Consisting of Vernon’s Cody Weagle and Kelowna resident Brenden Durant, Groundskore, recently released their debut EP,, Laniakea (Bassbong Records), which has since risen to #4 on the Beatport Breaks Top 100 chart. “Music fans and party goers have the chance to see these guys early in what looks to be a long lasting and prominent force in the world of break beats,” said Josh Brazier, with 13th Floor. Pre-sale tickets for this event are $5 at www.13thfloorent.com and $10 at the door on the night of the event.
From ZZ Top to Latin groove
Billy Gibbons and the BFGs: Perfectamundo
T
exas blues rocker, Billy Gibbons adds Cuban rhythms and loosens up with a new group on his first solo album after over 45 years of rocking. The ZZ Top frontman revisits his teenage tutelage under percussion king Tito Puente with Perfectamundo, and found that boogying and Latin rhythm share kindred ground which he gleefully wails and barks out his gravelly vocals over. Gibbons and the group (keyboardists Martin Guigui and Mike Finigan, bassist/vocalist Alex Garza, singer Chino Pons and drummer Greg Morrow) start out with a bluesy mambo take on Slim Harpo’s Got Love If You Want It. From there it’s a cover of Treat Her Right that moves the group into high gear. Boogie blues and Latin rhythms are what Perfectamundo is about and as Gibbons and company display. It’s an easy mix, full of the

greasy, tuneful licks that Gibbons could play in his sleep. But that’s another way of saying that the Reverend Billy G has got it down. The album reflects
that attitude and the vibe is a percussion-led rhythm fest that is more upbeat than Gibbons’ ZZ Top output. Treat Her Right, a cover by fellow Texan Roy Head, sets the album straight on course. The song is slinky, sassy and fun. Following this is You’re What’s Happening, Baby, Sal Y Piemento and Piedros Negras – high energy songs that indicate the excitement in Gibbons new adventure.

a major shift from Gibbons’ Tex-Mex sound and style, and on this album there are subtleties such as the interplay and featuring of other instruments and vocalists (keyboards, timbales and second guitar). The counterrhythms in many of the songs also add a light shade to Gibbons’ high volume riffing. The only glitch on Perfectamundo is Gibbons’ deliberate overuse of autotune on his growly voice.

Songs and festive treats kick off the season Concert benefits YearEnd Appeal at Vernon Christian School Morning Star Staff
On Wednesday, at Vernon Christian School, hearts will be warmed by student performances conducted by François Vermeulen and taste buds delighted by event-inspired desserts. Friends of VCS are invited to attend Songs of Christmas, the much-anticipated festive fundraiser event, in support of the 2015 VCS Year End Appeal. “The proceeds from Songs of Christmas has been chosen by our Parents in Action Committee to directly benefit the Get on the Bus campaign, a wish list item of the 2015 Year End Appeal,” said Corinne Remple, director of development for VCS. “This annual appeal is important to our school. Government funding for independent schools in B.C. covers only a part of our
school’s operating costs. The gifts that are given in response to this campaign fund impactful school programs and equipment not covered by tuition. “Since we opened our doors more than 38 years ago, our donors have played a big part in supporting the heart of our school.” The event on Wednesday includes a special memento for each attendant. Remple said last year’s event brought the house down and this year’s tickets are sure to sell fast. Supporters of VCS and Christian education are warmly invited to attend. “It’s a great opportunity for our alumni family and friends to visit the school, a place that once played a significant role in their lives. I’ve heard great stories about our founders and supporters and have only had the pleasure of meeting a handful of them” she said. “Parent volunteers, students and staff have really rallied around this event and we’d love to have a full house of familiar and new faces.” For more details, or to purchase tickets, please visit www.vcs.ca or call 250-545-7345, extension 8.

Author donates earnings to Syrian refugees Morning Star Staff
A North Okanagan author has announced he is donating royalties from his books to help bring a Syrian family to the Okanagan. James Osborne said he made the decision while preparing a collection of short stories for publication this summer. “All of the stories were inspired by the wonderful life we enjoy in Canada,” he said. “They are happy stories, a sharp contrast to the wanton savagery forcing millions from their homes and their livelihoods.” Osborne said he is donating a quarter of earnings between Dec. 1 and Feb. 29 from his two novels and the short story collection. The funds will go to a group in the Armstrong and Spallumcheen area planning to welcome a Syrian refugee family. “We are learning the enormous migration of refugees under way from the Middle East to Europe has the potential to become the largest human catastrophe the world has faced since the Second World War,” Osborne said. “During my years as a journalist I witnessed some terrible things happen to good people. But this crisis is off the charts. “What got to me most was the awful image of that three-year-old boy’s body lying

Jim Osborne is donating part of the royalties from his books to help bring a Syrian refugee family to the Okanagan. on a Turkish beach...heart-breaking.” Osborne said while he hopes his action will prompt others to help bring Syrian refugees to Canada, it is a personal decision. “Everyone needs to decide these things for themselves. Mine is a small gesture but if it encourages more people to help, that’s a welcome bonus. The need is massive.” He said part of the motivation for getting involved is about paying it forward.
“I’ve experienced difficult moments in my life and was fortunate others were there for me at the time,” he said. “It’s my turn to step up and help. So yes, it’s payback time.” The award-winning writer said the donation includes royalties from his collection of short stories, Encounters With Life – Tales of Living, Loving and Laughter, as well as from his novel, The Ultimate Threat, and his newly released mystery, The Maidstone Conspiracy. All of the books are available on Amazon. Some local bookstores are carrying both Encounters With Life, and The Ultimate Threat, an Amazon bestseller about the ISIS terrorists. “I’ve been enormously fortunate this year, and ought to share that good fortune,” said Osborne. “However, I must also caution that earnings from books are notoriously small... most writers receive less than 10 per cent of the retail price, if we’re lucky. So it’s as much the gesture as the amount.” Asked about opposition to the federal government’s plan to bring 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada by the end of the year, Osborne said perhaps the critics have forgotten their ancestors were also immigrants. “All of us are descendants of immigrants, with the likely exception of First Nations people.”
Osborne acknowledged that the Nov. 13 terrorist attacks in Paris have raised concerns that religious extremists may be hiding among the millions of refugees, fuelling prejudice against the refugees. “Growing up on the Prairies in a multiracial community taught me that fear and prejudice are bedfellows. Attacks by terrorists like the tragedies in Paris are designed to create fear. If we give in to fear and prejudice, then terrorism wins and the rest of us lose,” Osborne said. “We need to remember, those refugees are victims. None of us here can even begin to comprehend the trauma those families are enduring. The risk that a few cowardly psychopaths might be hiding among millions of innocent fathers, mothers, children and elderly is no excuse for turning our backs on them. Blaming them is absurd. It’s like blaming your car for running out of gas.” Osborne added that the UN estimates at least 4.2 million people in the region are now registered as refugees; 80 per cent of them are women, children and the elderly. “They are just ordinary people who’ve left everything behind, hoping for the kind of life we take for granted,” he said.
Horsey Ladies continue their tradition of supporting local charities Morning Star Staff
The 18th Annual Horsey Ladies Charity Auction & Banquet went off without a “hitch” Nov. 20 at the Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club. The sold-out event brought photo submitted together 132 horsey ladies from Arabian horse head mountall over the Interior. More than ed on a marble block, donat100 donated items were on the ed by Gwen Pulver, fetched auction tables, with all proceeds going to a local charity that the $200 in the silent auction. ladies vote on this same evening. “The ladies know this is one of the best socials for those in the (horse) industry, and with Christmas around the
corner, they are also here for the shopping, hoping to get a good deal on the auction block or winning something in the Chinese auction for a mere $2 ticket,” said Nancy Roman, with the event’s organizing committee. “But more importantly, it’s all for charity, I think that’s why we sell out weeks in advance every year, and with a waiting list to boot.” This year’s committee also included Ruby Edwards, Elspeth Manning, Michele Gould, Amy Vaughan, Sheila Sperling, Patti Thomas, Sly Keyes, Donna McNab and Kathy Woodward. “We really worked well together this year — how many can say that about 10 women making decisions?” said Roman. Roman added that the public does need to be reminded that this group of Horsey Ladies is neither a club nor a society, there is no bank account or board of directors; they are just a bunch of gals that get together each year to celebrate
their love of horses. Anyone can buy a ticket and attend, whether they have a horse or not. This year, many gals spoke during open mic over the dinner hour; some simply introduced themselves and some used the opportunity to pitch for their charity of choice. Once votes were tabulated, the top two vote-getters were: North Okanagan Therapeutic Riding Association (NOTRA); and Equine Assisted Therapy (Vernon Women’s Transition House). “This year, the event raised just over $7,500 and these two groups will both benefit from the generosity of our sponsors, donators and the 132 shoppers,” said Roman. “To date, the Horsey Ladies have raised over $73,000 for local charities and proud of it.” See their Facebook page, Horsey Ladies Okanagan, for a list of sponsors, photos, and the history of how it all began.

2016 Alfa Romeo 4C
Scion provided some eye candy with its C-HR Concept, named for its compact size and high ride height. Surely it will make it to production. The five-passenger Honda Clarity Hydrogen Fuel Cell car will be made available in late 2016 initially to customers in California. Its range is expected to be in excess of 480 kms, which makes it a viable commuter car. Now all that is needed is the refuelling infrastructure.
Keep your friends and family safe on winter roads – winterize your vehicle, install four matched winter tires, and avoid driving during challenging weather. Check road and weather conditions before heading out at driveBC.ca WATCH FOR follow us…

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder IT IS BEST TO THINK FIRST, PLAY SECOND Warren Buffett, who is a very keen bridge player, said, “The first rule is not to lose. The second rule is not to forget the first rule.” No doubt he was talking about Berkshire Hathaway’s investments, but he might have rephrased for a bridge player: The first rule is to think before playing at the first trick. The second rule is not to forget the first rule. It should be written on everyone’s scorecard as an aide-memoire. Apply it to this deal. How should South plan the play in six clubs after West leads the diamond jack? If I had held the North hand,
I would have responded two no-trump, showing eight or more points and a balanced hand. That might have resulted in a contract of six no-trump, which could have been defeated by a spade lead. In this auction, North’s raise to four no-trump was quantitative. If North had rebid four clubs, that would have been the ace-asking Gerber convention. South’s jump to six clubs showed a five-card suit, which North did well to pass. There seem to be 12 winners: one spade, four hearts, two diamonds and five clubs. However, to get all of those heart tricks, South needs a dummy entry. This looks like the
diamond ace, but if declarer ducks the first trick, East will win with the king and give his partner a ruff. Declarer must win with dummy’s ace and unblock his queen. Then he can draw trumps, cash his two heart honours, and lead a diamond to force a dummy entry.

KUIPERS Wiepke Kuipers of Vernon, B.C. passed away peacefully in his sleep on November 20 at North Okanagan Hospice. Wiep spent the last two weeks of his life at home and at hospice surrounded by family and friends. He was 81. At the age of 23 Wiep immigrated to Canada in 1957 with his wife Nieske and his brother-in-law Peter. Without knowing English and with 98 dollars between them, their Canadian adventure began. After teaching himself to read and write English, Wiep fulfilled another dream by becoming a Canadian citizen. He went on to create a successful carpentry business lasting several decades in Calgary and Fairmont Hot Springs. Wiep’s retirement started in Vernon in 2007. He was a devoted husband, father, soccer coach and dedicated audience member at his children’s events. He was a cagy cribbage player, a big fan of board games and he barbequed with the best of them. Wiep is survived by his wife of 58 years Nieske, daughter Anita and sons Ron and Jeff. He was adored by his five grandchildren who knew him as Opa and he was a fun-loving uncle to the many who called him Oom Wiep. Donations to North Okanagan Hospice Society appreciated.

During his lifetime, Clem worked as a faller, forklift operator, carpenter and a farmer. He liked to participate in local sports, playing ball and old timer hockey. Most of all, he had a passion for the outdoors and enjoyed camping, fishing, snowmobiling and hiking with friends (and pancake breakfasts). He will always be known for his ability to work hard, his willingness to help, and his boyish grin.

Bernice “Loretta� Cook February 13, 1953 - October 12, 2015
It is with heavy hearts that Loretta’s family announces her sudden and unexpected death on October 12, 2015, while an impatient under-medical in patient and and under medical care care at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. 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.

Georgina (affectionately known as Jo) and family flourished there, staying for 31 years. During that time Jo’s love of music led her to experience a variety of fun and fulfilling experiences. She attained her ARCT and then used that certification to teach piano. She played the organ for the Anglican Church choir, played the violin in the Little Symphony, and learned to play the banjo and the accordion, just for the fun of it. As the children grew, Jo decided she wanted to put her Pitman Business training to use and took on two very special positions over 20 years, one being with the law firm of Grant & Ewert. Her other position was with the City of Kitimat as the Deputy Clerk, and also secretary to the Mayor. Jo had many hobbies, enjoying all things outdoors.They camped, hiked, rode bikes, cross-country and down-hill skied. They bought a cabin on Lakelse Lake, giving the family many new opportunities and fun times with the boat. They were also avid Gyro members, often travelling to neighbouring clubs to attend their functions. Jo also became the photographer for the Club. The other huge piece to Jo’s very full life, was her and Len’s extensive travel itineraries. There were not many places in this world they did not visit. After moving to Vernon in 1986, Mom continued her involvement with the Anglican Church and her music, and finally purchasing something that she had always dreamed of – a baby grand piano. Her and Len also continued their involvement with the Gyro Club, travelling, as well as many of the outdoor pursuits they so much enjoyed. Jo was the center of our family, the one who gave us strength, guided us, loved us unconditionally, and had incredible passion and zest for life. Left with her memories is her loving husband Leonard, to whom she was married for 65 years; her children, Wayne (Theresa), Sherri (Tom), Mark (Donna) and Carol (Ron); nine grandchildren; and four great-granddaughters. Cremation preceded a small private Celebration of Jo’s life which will take place on Saturday, November 28th, 2015. As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donations in memory of Jo to the Alzheimer Society of B.C., #102 - 3402 - 27th Avenue, Vernon, B.C. V1T 1S1, rather than sending flowers. We, Jo’s family would like to sincerely send our gratitude and thanks to Creekside Landing for the loving support they gave to Jo and all of us through these tough days.

We will not match competitors’ “multi-buys” (eg. 2 for $4), “spend x get x”, “Free”, “clearance”, discounts obtained through loyalty programs, or offers related to our third party operations (post office, gas bars, dry cleaners etc.). We reserve the right to cancel or change the terms of this program at any time. Customer Relations: 1-866-999-9890.
