Parents and community leaders are taking a stand over schools in Enderby and Grindrod. About 100 people attended an open house at A.L. Fortune Secondary, held by the North Okanagan-Shuswap School District Thursday to discuss potential changes to facilities. “There is zero support to close Grindrod,” said Kim Anker, G r i n d r o d Elementary parents advisory Chris Coers committee chairperson. “The community is hard to grow without a school.” Anker added that the elementary school has steady enrolment at 73. “It will be a hard fight to close the school,” she said. Some suggestions from parents to keep Grindrod open are rerouting Ashton Creek children from M.V. Beattie Elementary to Grindrod and considering French immersion. Other options being proposed by the school district are converting Enderby’s M.V. Beattie Elementary to kindergarten to Grade 5 and reconfiguring A.L. Fortune Secondary to Grades 6 to 12. Anker says most parents from all schools were opposed to Grade 6 and 12 students in one facility. “There was the suggestion of Grades 7 to 12 which would ease the pressure at Beattie and not take too many students from Grindrod,” she said. While enrolment may be down in other communities, Mayor Greg McCune says the district needs to revisit the proposal for Enderby. “We’re the exception to the whole plan. There are higher than normal numbers at Beattie (300),” he said. “We have a lot of young children.” And while Grindrod is not in city boundaries, McCune says the school

There are young families moving out there,” he said. The school district is looking at its facilities because of a projected shortfall of $3.6 million over the next three years. “We were able to present our challenges,” said trustee Chris Coers of Thursday’s meeting. However, Coers admits that the proposal is drawing criticism. “It’s quite clear the community doesn’t support closure of Grindrod,” she said. In recognition of the school district’s financial plight, parents made some suggestions to save money and generate revenue, including bus fees, a four-day school week and reducing administration. “It’s always helpful to hear from stakeholders,” said Coers. Changes are also being considered in Armstrong, including closing Len Wood Middle School and one of the two elementary schools, and reconfiguring Pleasant Valley Secondary School to Grades 6 to 12 between 2017 and 2019.

France pays tribute to local veterans CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Canadian servicemen Ed Callas and Joe Monteyne were doing what they had to do in the spring and summer of 1944. They had no idea that a lifetime later they would receive one of the world’s legendary awards. Callas and Monteyne are among Second World War veterans across Canada who received the French Legion of Honour in 2015 to mark the 70th anniversary of the liberation of France in 1944. Monteyne joined the Canadian Air Force in Winnipeg in 1942 when he was 21, following up on an interest in the planes which he had seen as a boy. “When I first saw a plane, I had no idea that 11 years later I would be flying over Germany at night as a navigator,” he said. Callas joined the Canadian Air Force in Alberta at 17, after finishing high school. Within two months, he was overseas in England and went on to be gunner with the RAF. Both men know the necessity of what they were taking part in. “God knows how far Hitler would have gone without being stopped,” said Callas. They were crew members in the bombing missions preparing for D-Day June 6, 1944. Callas took part in 33 2/3 missions (short missions were counted in fractions), a large number, non-stop for four months from May to July of 1944. Long or short, each mission could be the last for the servicemen. One mission over Mailly-le-Camp in May 3, 1944, saw 49 of 250 aircraft lost. Callas got a Distinguished Flying Medal for that. Monteyne did one mission where his plane was dropping leaflets to give the French people accurate news of the war and encourage them that they had not been forgotten. He still has one of the leaflets with headlines that include, La Battle De Berlin Continue, and Le Chef de la Flotte Japonaise Est Tué. That was his first flight, a graduation exercise, with as much danger of being shot down as the bombing missions over Nazi-occupied areas that he later took part in. He was awarded a Distinguished Flying Cross. “You had to be ready day and night to get in the bomber and go,” he said. All the servicemen knew that something was going to happen in Europe as advance bombing increased but they did not know about how the invasion would take place until D-Day was underway. Monteyne and Callas met at the Air Force Association about 25 years ago. Association membership director Duke Dawe told them about Canadians being awarded the Legion of Honour but veterans had to apply for it. They got their applications in and didn’t think much more about it until last fall when they got word that they had received it. The Legion of Honour decoration, for all its mystique and glamour, arrived by Canada Post with a letter from the French ambassador to Canada, Nicolas Chapuis, thanking them for what they did for his country. “When I first saw the package, I didn’t even know what it was until I opened it. It is an honour to have it. It represents the profound gratitude of France,” said Callas. Monteyne said, “It is a distinction for us to be awarded

this honour by France. I wish It had happened a lot sooner because there are a lot of servicemen who deserved it and they aren’t with us now. I hope that if there are any other veterans who are eligible for this that they will be able to get it.” Both men continued their service to their country in civilian life with many years of volunteer work. They have both spoken about their war experiences in schools. The Legion of Honour, Ordre national de la Légion d’honneur, with the motto, “Honneur et Patrie,” is the highest decoration in France. It recognizes merit and bravery is usually awarded only to French citizens. The order was established by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802 to replace orders of chivalry previously open only to the nobility before the French Revolution in 1789. It recognizes all citizens who qualify based uniquely on merit. The award is a pendant which has a variety of symbolism,
on a red ribbon. It is to be worn on a blazer for military, state occasions and for funerals. There is a miniature version for social formal wear. The official presentation of the Legion of Honour decorations will be made at a ceremony through the Royal Canadian Legion Tuesday at Orchard Valley Retirement Residence at 1 p.m. with local dignitaries. There may be a representative of the French Embassy but this has not been confirmed.

Report released into cyclist’s death Morning Star Staff
The weather and no helmet contributed to the death of a Vernon cyclist. Coroner Susan Barth ruled the death of Jennifer Lee Wadsworth on July 2, 2015 as accidental. Wadsworth, 37, was struck by a vehicle as she was riding her bike across 25th Avenue at 35th Street shortly before 6:30 a.m. “Sun glare in the motor vehicle operator’s line of vision and Ms. Wadsworth not wearing a bicycle helmet were contributory (factors),” wrote Barth in her report. Wadsworth suffered a severe head injury. She was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital then transferred to Kelowna General Hospital where
she was taken off of life support. Barth wrote that the angle of the sun was
directly in front of the driver. Analysts were unable to determine the speed
of the vehicle at the time of the collision, however, it is not believed speed was a factor.

Cherryville awaits slide report RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Cherryville residents hope to soon know more about what caused a slide. The provincial government has sent a letter indicating that a freedom of information request into a 2012 slide on Sugar Lake Road is no longer subject to a fee. “The request was reopened Jan. 15 and information access Hank Cameron operations is currently reviewing records and preparing them for the final body to sign off,” said John Wilson, senior analyst, in the letter. Hank Cameron, Cherryville director, hopes to have a response in a month. “We’d like to reassure the three property owners (next to the slide) that it won’t
happen again,” he said. The findings of the report into the 2012 slide could also play a role in current community concerns about logging on Cherry Ridge. “There are similar land forms and terrain. The whole area is susceptible to debris torrents,” said Cameron. Silver Star governance expanded All forms of future governance will be considered for a North Okanagan community. Draft changes to the Silver Star official community plan had only referred to a resort association for governance, but the Regional District of North Okanagan board has decided to refer to other possible options. “It broadens the discussion and doesn’t just limit it to resort association,” said director Mike Macnabb. One possibility is forming a municipality.
The OCP bylaw has been given second reading and will now go to a public hearing. Appointments made Members of the Regional District of North Okanagan board have been given their assignments. Appointments have been made for 2016, including Herman Halvorson to the Fraser Basin Council, director Brian Quiring to the Okanagan Film Commission and director Mike Macnabb to Okanagan Regional Library. The representatives to Okanagan Basin Water Board are directors Juliette Cunningham, Doug Dirk and Bob Fleming. Going to the Sterile Insect Release board on behalf of RDNO will be director Shirley Fowler, while director Hank Cameron will attend meetings of the Southern Interior Mountain Pine Beetle Action Committee.

Tuning into other things
O
ne of my resolutions for this still new year was to watch less television. I think it was Edward Young who once said ‘procrastination is the thief of time.” And, boy, was he right. But TV is certainly an accomplice to the crime in these modern times. Something that wasn’t around when Young was doing his thing, or I’m sure he would have incorporated it in his musings, you know something like, “procrastination is the thief of time, but television is driving the getaway car,” ahem. Once I get settled in the easy chair, remote in hand, a couple hundred channels to choose from, a snack Glenn Mitchell and drink within reach, the minutes turn to hours and the hours turn to, well, there goes that weeknight evening or Sunday afternoon. Certainly you’ve been entertained somewhat, depending on what’s on that particular night, and I have to admit sports is on that list and the typical game is three hours long and there’s a lot of sports on the tube these dreary days of January. And that’s another impediment to getting your butt off the couch, it’s kind of grey out there, however, I’d like to proclaim I’ve had some success in turning off the tube. And, funnily enough, although it sounds so simple, just turning it off or not even turning it on in the first place is the first baby step towards a successful intervention. It’s amazing how habits become routines, which become a way of life, which become a night of the news, followed by ET, followed by Jeopardy, followed by...... Anyway I’ve turned it off enough recently to almost finish a rather large book I got for Christmas, get mostly caught up on the stacks of newspapers by my bed, and almost even keep up
MITCHELL’S MUSINGS
to the Maclean’s and Sports Illustrated magazine subscriptions that show up weekly in my mailbox. Luckily, sort of, one’s running out and the other one’s manageable with all the extra time I have in my life now that TV is restricted to, well, a less dominant portion of my existence. I’ve even got outside a few times, which is another baby step towards that other resolution about getting in better shape in 2016, Enjoyed a hike with my wife in Ellison Park last weekend, and a trudge through knee-high snow in our white Sorels down to the lake from the gate is more of a workout than you might think (at least for this soft body), and a nice little communal time with nature pretty close to town is a bonus as well. The week before that we enjoyed a trek to Gardom Lake, and we even shamed the youngest son to come along, where we cross country skied down to the lake (after several falls on the part of the males in the family, it’s a lot harder without tracks just so you know) and out onto the frozen beyond, which was very cool in every sense of the word. And, during my time off recently I even got up to Sovereign Lake with a pair of 80 somethings, also known as my parents, for some more traditional cross country skiing. My wife and I used to do this activity a lot but along came kids and hockey and, well, you know, a busy life, but I’d forgotten how exhilarating it can be just to get out there amongst the snowcovered trees and that oh-so-fresh air, and it wasn’t even that nice a day weatherwise. And it’s not just for seniors and Scandinavians, although watch out for elderly Norsemen cause they will pass you on the trails, so get out there and enjoy winter while you can. Or there’s the snowshoe phenomenon to check out, or the best downhill conditions in recent memory, or shinny hockey, or....let’s face it, the possibilities are endless once you start to turn off the tube. Who knew there was such a big world outside my living room?
Obviously there is considerable anxiety in Armstrong, Enderby, Grindrod and Spallumcheen over the future of education. The prospect of school closures can negatively impact the viability of communities while putting Grade 6 students into a facility with Grade 12 students is less than ideal. But the reality is the North Okanagan-Shuswap School District has to do something given the projected shortfall of $3.6 million over the next three years. Millions of dollars have been trimmed in recent years and the district is now cutting into the bone. There has been considerable debate among district administration and parents at town hall meetings, including one in Enderby Thursday. But what’s been missing is the involvement of the local MLA. Greg Kyllo is the Shuswap’s voice in Victoria and he should be taking an active role in this process that will directly impact his constituents. Now, provincial officials are famous for saying that they just provide funding to school districts and it’s districts that decide how it is spent. But that’s only partially true as it is the province that inks contracts with unionized staff, which influences the bottom line. Government fees, such as MSP, are also climbing as are B.C. Hydro rates. The government is nickel and diming school districts to death. Yes enrolment is down in some schools, but other facilities are at capacity and closing schools will leave the district unable to address any long-term growth. It is time for Kyllo as the MLA for Enderby and Armstrong to enter the discussion and help find a solution.

Water system works for all
I
n the wee hours of Boxing Day morning, the Mission Hill water treatment plant experienced a major equipment malfunction, effectively shutting down the plant. How many Vernon and Coldstream residents had their holidays with their families disrupted by this event? Not one. This is because we are lucky enough to have multiple sources for our water. Operators were able to switch to the Duteau Creek supply without missing a beat. The problem at Mission Hill was that an equipment failure prevented the pumps from bringing water up from Kal Lake to the plant. The Duteau system transports water by gravity. Because we have the ability to switch supplies, we don’t have to pay huge bills for emergency services to fix the power to the Mission Hill plant. Imagine the difficulty and cost of getting a plumber at 1 a.m. on Boxing Day? Getting the plant up and running can happen in a thoughtful, cost-saving manner. Another benefit to the Duteau system is that the water is quite soft which has many benefits in
CIVILIZED WORLD As a regular reader of your publication, I was very pleased to see the editorial courage displayed by printing the submitted comments in article "Civilized World?" In today's often politically obsessed world, it is a rarity to encounter the blunt honesty which the writer of that submission offered, and it very much is the truth about what has been going on. Conversely, it is also not an every day event that such honesty is given the attention it very much deserves as that is not taught in any school. As you can surmise from my surname, I too am a new Canadian, even if only by 60 years of residence, and as such, I value the absence of the attempts to present the record of the past in anything but the very reliable truth. As such, I very much appreciate the point blank honesty which illuminates this issue as well as it was presented and then made available to those who care to expand their horizons of understanding and comprehension. Even Russia is more recently trying to reinvent its past history by softening the descriptions of past events, so the coming generations will not be left to wonder, what sort of mad men ran their past?
your home. The Duteau Creek water system is also not susceptible to the threat from invasive mussels. A local group that is getting a lot of ink in the paper would like to mothball the five-year-old Duteau plant that we just spent $20 million on in order to have a single source from Okanagan Lake. This is the lowest possible source so it would require significant mechanical systems and uninterrupted power to push all that water up to the residents. As well as being very costly, sole sourcing from Okanagan Lake would be very susceptible to a mussel problem if that were to occur. We do not have water rights on Okanagan Lake and obtaining them now would put us at the bottom of the list of water priorities. All other water rights would have to be honoured before ours. I hope that when the decisions are made to move forward with an agreed upon master water plan, that it retains multiple sources that minimize our risk of disruption by power/mechanical outages as well as natural threats. Steve Simon
If any nation is to ever rise above its former mistakes, that degree of honesty "must survive" and live to separate the hogwash, from the verifiable truth. Thank you for deciding to be a part of that hopefully ongoing process. Frank H. Lucianovich OFFICE UPGRADE I wanted to commend Mel Arnold for taking the necessary steps to upgrade his new constituency office in the old CNR Station on 29th Street. I refer to the proper installation of access for people who have mobility issues. In the recent election campaign, our NDP campaign workers were able to point out to Mr. Arnold that the existing office was not wheelchair accessible. This was perhaps an unfair shot at Mr. Arnold because I am sure the layout of the office at the time had nothing to do with input from Mr. Arnold. The reality is that, although he was elected, his Conservative Party had a number of indefensible issues that impacted the election opportunities of other candidates running under the Conservative banner. I have said it before and I will say it again - I like Mel Arnold. I would have liked to see Jacqui

Gingras triumph, but I respect Mr. Arnold, and I have enjoyed chatting with him. If his level of responsiveness regarding the wheelchair accessibility issue is any indication of how much diligence he intends to bring to his new position, then I will have to work even harder to find legitimate issues of his with which to put his feet to the fire. In a perfect world, maybe that will never come to pass. I hope it doesn't. Like I said, I like Mel. Dean Roosevelt CLIMATE PRESENTATION The Armstrong-Spallumcheen Environmental Trust, a registered society, was started in 2002 by a group of concerned, caring, aware citizens. We agreed the over use of Earth's resources caused the conundrum now known as anthropogenic-caused climate change. Today's mission statement sees us as an awareness society raising bursary dollars for those PVSS students choosing environmental-related post secondary studies. To date, we have provided 16 bursaries. On Feb. 3, at 7 p.m., an ASETsponsored presentation by Greg O'Neill, from the Kalamalka Forestry Centre, will be held at Armstrong-
Spallumcheen Centennial Hall theatre. Please attend. It's by donation, for you to learn about a forestry perspective facing the climate change reality. If you would like to get involved within the ASET advocacy, come and attend a regularly called meeting at the Armstrong-Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce facility the second Wednesday of every month at 7 p.m. The annual ASET sponsored Green Fair of environmental products and corporations will be held April 16 at Askew's parking lot this year. A new electric car and professional accompaniment is one participant of about 20 slated to be there. This past 2015 season we awarded three bursaries to students already on their paths. We pledge support for youth during what is often a difficult financial time of life. Please pledge your support. The young people need your help. David R. Derbowka Chairperson, ASET THANK YOU Thank you to Hayden who helped me up and carried my cat litter to my door when I fell on Jan. 17 on Patterson Street near Becker Street in Armstrong. Susan Cowley

Ve r n o n - N o r t h Okanagan RCMP used a spike belt to stop a suspected stolen vehicle Wednesday night. At about 8 p.m., an officer was on patrol on Old Kamloops Road and observed a Toyota Tundra that had been reported stolen Tuesday from Coldstream. “Police followed the vehicle from a distance as it travelled out of town on Old Kamloops Road,” said Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy. The vehicle went south on Westside Road and then turned on to Bouleau Lake Road. “Officers successfully deployed a spike belt after attempting to stop the vehicle, but the vehicle continued driving,” said Noseworthy. “A second spike belt was successfully deployed. Despite all four tires being deflated, the driver continued to attempt to operate the vehicle at a slow rate of speed. Eventually, the driver, and lone occupant, stopped the truck and was arrested.” Ross Campbell, 27, of Vernon, has been charged with possession of stolen property more than $5,000, possession of break-in instruments, flight from police, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and possession of a controlled substance. He has been remanded into custody and his next court date is Feb. 17.

Joe Sacco of the Vernon Vipers takes a breakaway shot on West Kelowna Warriors goaltender Matthew Greenfield Friday night at Kal Tire Place. The Vipers defeated the Warriors 3-2 in B.C. Hockey League action in front of more than 2,000 fans.
Vipers hold on to edge Warriors ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Blocking shots. Solid goaltending. Taking the body. Hustle at both ends. Imagine if the Vernon Vipers were at 100 per cent. The Vipers overcame a flu bug that limited the team to 12 skaters in practice during the week, and held on for an emotional 3-2 win over the West Kelowna Warriors in B.C. Hockey League action in front of 2,078 fans Friday at Kal Tire Place. “It was a pretty gutsy effort against a good hockey team,” said Vipers head coach Mark Ferner of his team’s first win in three tries against their Highway 97 rivals. The two teams will meet three times in four days in February, including back-to-back 11 a.m. starts on Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 16 and 17, in West Kelowna and Vernon, respectively. Vernon’ victory, combined with the Trail Smoke Eaters’ 6-4 home ice win Thursday over the Chilliwack Chiefs, left the Vipers two points ahead of the Smoke Eaters in the battle for the fourth and final Interior Division playoff spot. The Vipers played in Trail Saturday. Each team has 13 games remaining.
Liam Finlay’s powerplay goal – a laser of a wrist shot into the top corner from the slot – with four minutes left in regulation time turned out to be the winner. Finlay’s 13th goal gave Vernon a 3-1 lead but West Kelowna defenceman Rylan Yaremko made it 3-2 on a two-on-one with 1:50 remaining, setting the stage for a frantic final minute which saw the Vipers block three West Kelowna shots in front of goalie Andrew Shortridge, making his first start in three games due to a groin injury. Shortridge, the game’s second star, who hadn’t practised in 10 days, and Warriors counterpart Matthew Greenfield were sensational all game, with West Kelowna outshooting Vernon 39-29, including 20-10 in the final period. Greenfield stoned Fortis BC Energy player of the game Ben Butcher and Odeen Tufto twice each, and took away sure goals from Jimmy Lambert and Christian Cakebread. Shortridge made his best save in the first minute of the third, with the score 2-1 Vernon, sliding over to get a skateblade on what looked like a sure tap-in goal for Jonathan Desbiens. Shortridge also robbed Quin Foreman
twice and Brett Mennear. Both goalies, however, had one goal each would like to have back. Warriors defenceman Nicholas Rutigliano scored his fourth of the year at 7:07 with the teams playing four-on-four on what looked like a harmless wrist shot from the top of the faceoff circle that Shortridge got a piece of, but the puck still went in top-corner, stick-side. The goal tied the game at 1-1. Vipers forward Jagger Williamson, the game’s first star, ripped a slap shot from nearly the same spot that went five-hole on Greenfield at 17:24 of the second (Williamson’s sixth). Riley Brandt gave Vernon a 1-0 lead with his 13th, snapping a wrist shot on a two-on-one past Greenfield at 4:55 of the first. Brandt looked to have given the Vipers a 2-1 lead at 12:11 of the second with a powerplay marker that was called off right away by one referee, who then conferred with his three counterparts to officially rule no goal, stating Brandt interfered with Greenfield. The Vipers were 1-7 with the man advantage, West Kelowna went 0-6. “I thought tonight was one of our best games,” said Williamson.
“Everyone was going, our defence was good and everyone was chipping pucks out.” Following the final buzzer, Warriors forward Kyle Marino knocked down Shortridge, who was beginning to celebrate the win, leading to a skirmish. It was Vernon’s second consecutive win over a team higher in the conference standings. “I think it’s real good for the confidence,” said Ferner. “The Salmon Arm game (rallying from 5-1 down to win 10-5) was a different type of game. Late in the game here we had two huge blocks and those are the type of things that don’t show up on the score sheet but are so important for teams to be successful.” West Kelowna remained tied for second in the division with Salmon Arm. The Silverbacks lost 6-4 in Duncan to the Cowichan Valley Capitals Friday. The Vipers will host Austria’s EC Red Bull Salzburg U20s in an international friendly exhibition Monday at 7 p.m. at Kal Tire Place. Salzburg is 1-1 on their four-game BCHL tour, defeating West Kelowna 8-6 but losing 6-1 to Penticton. Their tour wraps up Wednesday in Victoria.
Zack Andrusiak haunted his old team Friday. The Armstrong product and former North Okanagan Knight scored the winner as the Kamloops Storm downed the visiting Knights 2-1 in Kootenay International Junior Hockey League action. The win completed a season sweep for the Storm, who beat the Knights 3-0 in Armstrong in October. Andrusiak, who was dealt to Kamloops in a three-for-one swap earlier in the season, scored his team-leading 23rd goal at 12:33 of the second period to make it 2-0 Storm. Andrusiak leads the Storm in scoring with 23-17-40. Defenceman Liam Molloy scored his second goal of the year at 10:11 of the third for the North Okanagan goal. Daniel Paul made 24 saves for the Knights (12-23-3-4), who kicked off a four-game road swing Wednesday by going into Osoyoos and doubling the OkanaganShuswap Divisionleading Coyotes 4-2. The Knights – who could face Osoyoos in the first round of the playoffs – have taken five out of eight points in their last four games with the Coyotes.

Gymnasts shine Morning Star Staff
Twelve athletes from North Valley Gymnastics recently competed in the Cobweb Invitational Competition at the Okanagan Gymnastics Centre in Kelowna, where each athlete finished either on the podium or in the top-eight for their level/ age category. Club members brought home an impressive 18 medals. Three athletes were competing for the first time in Level 7, which requires much more advanced skills and skill combinations. In the junior category, Brooklyn Ashby won the vault event with an explosive handspring vault. “It’s a vault she’s worked very hard on in training,” said competitive coach Naomi Rokus. Ashby also received a bronze medal for her beautiful lines and swing on the uneven bars. Aysia Morgan performed her back handspring, back handspring series connected on the balance beam (one of only a few gymnast in her level to do so), and performed well on all other events even though she had a minor injury. Autumn Doucette competed in the senior category, highlighting her competition with a second place finish on bars and a “stuck” balance beam routine (no falls). Seven gymnasts competed in Level 6. Tyra Green, Charli Calvert and Raedon Skanes were all competing for the first time in Level 6 in the child and junior age categories. All three gymnasts had a great competition, showing off skills that they’ve never competed. Highlights were a fourth place finish for Green on vault, fifth place finish on vault for Calvert, and Shanes earned a
The Vernon Vortex Speed Skating Club turned in some stellar finishes at the Provincial Long Track Championships last weekend in Fort St. John. The Vortex were at a distinct disadvantage, not having access to a 400metre track to train on, but they still represented the city well. Only four Vernon skaters made the trip but the team did well enough in each age class to place fifth in a field of 13 clubs, the club’s best showing in 25 years. Laura Hall was up against some strong competition from the northern clubs but recorded three personal best times and finished fourth overall, locking up her position with a determined effort in the 3,000-m race. Nate Benn skated a great set of races to finish third overall in his division. He narrowly missed a silver medal due to a slip in his strongest race, the 100-m sprint. Following Laura’s lead, he delivered a great effort in the 2,000-m race and surprised the competition by refusing to slow down as the race went on.

Doucette surprised herself with an excellent bar routine placing her on top of the podium for that event, and earned two more bronze medals for her powerful floor routine and handspring vault. She also won the bronze medal for her all around score. Amy Sol received a silver medal for her “stuck” balance beam routine. Eggert and Kalin earned a fourth and sixth place finish respectively for their explosive vaults. “This was only the second competition ever for these athletes and the improvement in the last six months is awesome,” said Rokus.

Daniel Hall made some great improvements to his form and won four out of five of the distances, taking a crazy 19 seconds off his personal best time in the 1,200-m. Hall will be moving up to the next age group next year and won’t be sneaking up on anyone at the competition as he will be going into the races as the man to beat. The team leader, 80-something Peter Blokker, a former coach, was able to win all four of his distances in his age class to defend his title as the B.C. champion. Blokker continues to amaze the province with his ability to just keep going when most would start to slow down. Laura Hall qualified to represent B.C. at the Canadian championships in Quebec City in early February and Benn is well within reach of qualifying for the nationals next year.

Turn-Key Controls stopped Topsport FC’s winning streak at 10 games with a 3-2 Vernon Men’s Indoor Soccer League win Wednesday night at the VantageOne Soccer Facility. Both teams showed some beautiful passing play in the early minutes. On a Topsport counter attack, Fabrice Fanfani fed Lendrit Ademi a through ball. Ademi then beat two players and fired an absolute thunderbolt into the top right corner. Turn-Key then hit back with a long ball over the top which found big man Conan Ackert’s glancing header and ended up in the back of the net. At 1-1, the evenly-matched teams looked eager to find the go-ahead-goal. Turn-Key found a lead after a good passage of play which led to a Grant Oben shot which was deflected into the netting. Topsport started the second half with some attacking play. Honorable mention to James Hesketh in the midfield who had an amazing game before stepping off the field injured. A foul by Menno Burnet, who was a brick wall at the back of the Topsport defence, led to a free kick for Turn-Key. The free kick was taken quickly by Evan Moore and rolled past the keeper making it 3-1. The league leaders struck back with a driven cross by David Weir that found Ademi at the far post. Ademi now has 18 goals in eight games. With only 10 minutes left, Topsport were playing one man down after a series of injuries. The last few minutes were thrilling with both teams firing shot after shot.

As it was a very cold time of year, their honeymoon plans took them on a driving trip to Houston, Texas, where it was a balmy 65 degrees F. The couple returned to Saskatoon, Sask. for a year before moving to Calgary. Fourteen years later, they relocated to Bragg Creek, just outside of Calgary, where they stayed for four years. In 1981, they moved the kids, the dog and the cat to Cherryville. Chuck and Lynne are now seven years into

Thrift store benefits horses rescued by Outbackjacks Morning Star Staff
Outbackjacks Horse Rescue has been rescuing horses for more than 10 years, helping more than 300 horses, both directly and indirectly. “This year has been the worst on record for abused and emaciated horses coming into the rescues,” said Gena Sandli, with Outbackjacks. “As of August, we were at full capacity, which is 16 horses. We leave room for emergency cases, which this year will be no more than two. “We are calling out to the public to please don’t throw out your unwanted items but instead to consider bringing them into one of the horse rescue thrift stores in Falkland at 5768 Highway 97 or the store in Langley. “We will even take left-over garage sale items.” The Falkland-based horse rescue recently became a co-opera-
tive partner with The Horse Protection Society of B.C in Langley and is also their director for the Interior Horse Protection Society. “The two rescues have decided to join forces in the fight to save these wonderful animals, and this year will bring big changes,” said Sandli. “Both rescues are looking for additional lands. We are hoping that we will be able to find suitable ranches in the Falkland area and one in the Lower Mainland. We are two of the only rescues that will take in severely emaciated and abused horses. “With the higher demands of abused and unwanted horses, our goal is to find suitable horse property where we can stable and rehabilitate. This would be a charitable miracle.” If you have property that might be suitable for the rescues, please contact Outbackjacks Horse Rescue at 250-379-2400 or 250-438-0062.

After 33 years in business, Bob and Kathy Gibson continue to make customer service and quality fish their priority. A Fine Kettle O’Fish is a small business with a big heart, which is why their customers have been coming back since they first opened their doors in downtown Vernon. The Gibsons started selling fresh B.C. salmon out of coolers to retail stores all over the Okanagan in the mid 1970s until they opened their shop in 1983. In 2000, they moved next door to a larger space and have expanded from fish sales to an extensive line of prepared meals. “We offer a superior selection of fresh and frozen fish and seafood from around the world, from the exotic species to our B.C. coast,” said Bob. “With a full-service kitchen creating simply fresh delicious food, our wide selection of products made here has grown to service many different avenues of clientele.” A Fine Kettle O’Fish offers small to large single portion meals, meals for groups, lunch and dinner take-out, custom catering and fresh-made sushi, all utilizing quality, fresh ingredients. “All our food can be customized to fit individuals’ dietary needs, gluten-free dinners are available,” said Bob. Their lunch and dinner take-away menus include: gourmet pizza, such as their halibut coconut curry and Greek shrimp pizzas, sandwiches, soups, pies, pastries, salads, gourmet burgers, fish and chips, pastas, endless dinner entrees and assorted deli selections, like Thai and Boston crab cakes

Benefits exist
spousal RRSP is the same as a regular RRSP, except that the former is registered in your spouse’s name while you, as the contributing spouse, take a full tax deduction for all the contributions you make to the spousal plan. Spouse includes a common-law partnership, meaning a common-law partner can make a spousal RRSP contribution if the couple has lived in a conjugal relationship for at least one year or five years together and have a child. Deposits made to Kirbey Lockhart a spousal RSP cannot exceed your personal contribution limit, but your contribution can be made to a spousal RSP, your personal RSP, or split between the two accounts. Furthermore, deposits made to a spousal RSP do not affect your spouse’s RSP contribution limit for the year. The primary benefit for using a spousal RSP is future income splitting, usually around retirement.
GUEST COLUMN
Caring for your community hospital.
The assets in a spousal RSP are deemed to be those of the plan holder, or annuitant, which in this case is your spouse. When funds are withdrawn from the spousal RSP, they are taxed in the hands of your spouse, at his/her marginal tax rate. Hence, the most advantageous scenario for a spousal RSP occurs when the plan holder would otherwise have little retirement income, while the contributing spouse would have a significant amount of income. Please be advised that there are a few restrictions on spousal RSP withdrawals: in order for withdrawals to be taxed in the hands of the plan holder, the contributor must not have made any contributions into the spousal plan in the year of the withdrawal, or the two preceding years. Generally, if there will be a big discrepancy between your retirement income and that of your spouse, you should consider a spousal RSP.

Hudson’s Bay rallies for charities Morning Star Staff
Charitable societies who need extra revenue should contact the Hudson’s Bay in Vernon for an easy way to generate revenue. On March 24, the Bay holds Spring Giving Day, which is designed to help charitable organizations raise funds through the sale of tickets to the event. “Approved organizations can order tickets free of charge and sell them to their partners,
“It’s a win-win for any organization...” — Rein Nurmsoo
donors and friends for $5 and keep 100 per cent of each ticket sold,” said Rein Nurmsoo, with the Bay.
“As an added incentive, the organization that sells the most tickets for its participating Hudson’s Bay store will
COMPUTER
receive a portion of the proceeds from the store’s in-store ticket sales March 24. It’s a win-win for any organization with little effort.” For more details, contact Nurmsoo at re i n . nu r ms o o @ hb c . com or call 250-5455331 (ext 255).

QUEBEC - Narrow cobblestone streets stuffed with charming vendors, galleries, sidewalk cafes, picturesque churches, historic inns and wonderful restaurants, have helped Quebec City earn the moniker, “Paris without the jet lag.” Add beautiful architecture and colourful vibrant squares full of musicians and artists, and you might end up wondering why anyone would bother travelling the extra distance to Europe? Quebec City, “where the river narrows,” is the capital of the province of Quebec and one of the oldest cities in North America. Situated on the banks of the St. Lawrence River, it was founded in 1608 as one of the first significant settlements in Canada, and it was here on the Plains of Abraham that the colony of New France fell into British hands in 1759. The district of Old Quebec was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985. A beautiful stony arch forms the entrance through the fortifications into this historical place, and its narrow roadways invite exploration. I spend a whole sunny afternoon blissfully lost in its warren of lanes, meandering through evocative alleys, ducking into eclectic galleries and enchanting shops, wandering past mouth-watering bistros, brasseries and boulangeries, and getting a sense of history everywhere I look, from the endless statues and plaques, to the great museums and sites like Battlefields Park and the Citadel. I stumble upon the Place Royale, the square in which Samuel de Champlain founded this settlement. The cobbled courtyard is filled to the brim with history. Here is Champlain’s fort, trading post and home, and also the oldest stone church in North America, Notre-Damedes-Victoires, which was built in 1688. While musicians and street artists entertain, tourists jostle to get a photo of the Fresque des Quebecois, a wonderful mural depicting the story of Quebec, with life-like paintings of historic figures, and Quebec’s famous writers and artists. After wandering around in a delightful daze for a few more hours, I get my bearings when I look up to see the Chateau Frontenac looming above. Looking as much like a castle as a luxury hotel, it has gloriously dominated the city’s skyline for over a century. A funicular, (outdoor lift), whisks people up the steep grade to the grand hotel, or you can stay fit by trekking up the many stairs. Just outside the walled battlements of the old city is the magnificent Parliament Building, inspired by the Louvre Palace in Paris. On its walls are 26 bronze statues honouring Quebec’s historical figures. Horse drawn carriages pick up passengers at the Fountaine de Tourny for a tour of the old city. For me, it will be a little more energetic. I rent a bike to navigate the paved cycle paths that lead out of the city to the Parc de la Chute-Montmorency. Once you arrive at the park, you can take a cable

car up the mountain to take in the aweinspiring views of Montmorency Falls. If you are feeling adventurous, try the Via Ferrata climbing route that scales the sheer wall beside the massive waterfall, and then zipline back over the crest of the chute. Another quick 30 minute drive from Quebec City the next morning has me in the Parc National de la Jacques-Cartier. Here you can enjoy some easy white-water canoeing or rafting, and do some hiking in search of moose. After such strenuous activity, I have a good excuse to relax at the Siberia Station Spa located just on the outskirts of the city, with its hot and cold pools, waterfalls, steam baths and saunas, and some amazing riverside relax-
ation stations. The spa experience is based on the Scandinavian concept of thermotherapy, where you alternate between hot, cold, and resting treatments. The process is said to relax muscles, reduce stress, improve sleep, eliminate toxins, and strengthen the immune system. It has just made me hungry – but no worries, there is a wide range of cuisine options in Quebec City, from hip and trendy, to cosy and traditional. In Old Quebec is the charming Bello Ristorante. The food here is exquisite Italian presented in a unique Québécois style. For the beer lover, La Korrigane is a microbrewery where you can relax with a pint, and enjoy some great pub food. I find a unique dining experience at the revolving Ciel! Bistro-Bar located on the top floor of Le Concorde Hotel and, with its magnificent panoramic views, I am able to see where I have really been the last few days. I enjoy an excellent dinner, whilst looking down on the winding roads, stone buildings, colour and activity that give this wonderful old city so much character. Here, in Old Quebec, there is nothing better than just letting yourself get lost. James Ross is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

A Lake Country councillor wants to know if more can be done to enhance the environment. Owen Dickie is asking council to direct staff to consider the goals of the Blue Dot movement and see if recognition of environmental rights can be incorporated into the official community plan review this year. “I, like everyone, am concerned about the environment,” said Dickie of the reason for his notice of motion. The issue arose after a recent presentation by some local residents about the Blue Dot movement. “It’s important to take all of the old codgers on the council bench and support younger people,” said Dickie. The Blue Dot movement, which is part of the David Suzuki Foundation, calls local communities to pass municipal declarations respecting people’s right to live in a healthy environment. “Community by community, this movement will inspire decision-makers across our provinces and territories to take notice,” states the Blue Dot website. “With so many communities calling for action from all levels of government, the next step is to have our provincial and federal governments follow suit and pass environmental bills of rights. Recognition in the Charter – the highest law in our country – is the final step in protecting the right to clean air, fresh water and healthy food for all Canadians.” Dickie isn’t sure if the district can follow all of the Blue Dot initiatives. “If the proposals are achievable, we will look at

moving ahead with plans to create a cenotaph to honour the six local men who died in the first and second world wars. “At this point, they are not commemorated,” director Hank Cameron told the White Valley Parks, Recreation and Culture Advisory Committee. Society members believe a cenotaph at the community hall is important to pursue. “One of the purposes of our society is to promote, encourage and foster historical research and public interest in the history of our area,” said Margaret Myers, society executive director. The total cost of the project is about $5,087 and a federal grant of $2,228 is being sought. WVPRCAC will provide $1,500. “There will also be in-kind support from the community,” said Cameron.

Three Vernon groups have received a combined $150,000 in community gaming grants. Independent Vernon Living Society will get $25,000 while there is $25,000 for the John Howard Society and $100,000 for the North Okanagan Childcare and Montessori Preschool Society. “These organizations have for years provided important services to many people in Vernon and area,” said Eric Foster, VernonMonashee MLA. These grants are awarded under the human and social services category of the community gaming grant program, which allows non-profit organizations to apply for provincial gaming revenues from the Ministry of Community Development.

An increasingly popular sport could ultimately have a place to call home in Lumby. The White Valley Parks, Recreation and Culture Advisory Committee has instructed staff to determine if pickleball lines can be painted at the tennis court. “The sport is catching on,” said Rick Fairbairn, chairperson, adding that he has been contacted by local residents about wanting a facility. “There are quite a number of them and currently they travel to Lavington and Vernon to participate.” As part of the process, staff will determine how much use the tennis courts generally get and if there is room for pickleball to be added to the schedule. “Tennis players can get their necks out of joint, ‘That’s our court,’” said director Randal Ostafichuk of potential conflicts between the two sports. “With the additional lines, it makes it difficult for them (tennis). We should encourage healthy activities even if they have to share and get along.” Cherryville creates cenotaph Efforts are underway to remember those Cherryville residents who made the ultimate sacrifice.

ngaged couples may be ready to walk down the aisle and begin their new life together, but first they have to get to the ceremony. Limousines continue to be popular choices, but other vehicles also may fit your needs. Couples who want to arrive in style may want to consider the following options. • Take it to the water. If you’re having a lakeside or seaside wedding, taking a water route to your ceremony can make for a dramatic entrance. Vessel options include speedboats, yachts or something more intimate, such as canoes or rowboats. Afterward, you can coast off into the sunset. • Arrive like royalty. Take a page out of a favorite fairy tale and arrive in a horsedrawn carriage. Carriages can typically fit between two and six passengers. If you cannot find a carriage, consider pedicabs or bicycledrawn buggies as an alternative. • Step out of a classic movie. Vintage cars can make a statement. Although you may immediately think of a Rolls Royce, consider cars that embody your personal style. Rugged couples may want a classic pickup truck, while those who live life in the fast lane may prefer a vintage sports car.
• Take the party on the road. Moving a large number of people in the wedding party takes forethought. Party buses and SUV limousines can fit a substantial amount of passengers, making them a more cost-effective option for large bridal parties. These vehicles may be equipped with party lights, impressive sound systems and even minibars. • Go eco-friendly. If your ceremony is nearby, arrive on horseback or even peddling a bicycle. Such options are eco-friendly and, in the case of bicycles, may be free. When booking transportation, remember to do so well in advance. In addition, get all agreements in writing, verify that the company is licensed and insured and provide directions and the itinerary to drivers.

S
teeped in tradition, weddings have featured many of the same components for centuries. Those about to tie the knot may feel somewhat limited in their ability to shape their weddings into unique celebrations of their relationships and love for one another. Although it may not seem like there are many opportunities to put your own stamp on the wedding, there are plenty of ways to do just that. When looking to personalize your wedding ceremony, determine if there might be anything blocking you from doing so. For example, if yours will be a religious ceremony, there may be certain rites that need to be followed. Secular ceremonies may offer more opportunities to customize. • Vows: Vows are one of the easiest ways to put a personal touch on your wedding. You can select the words you want to exchange during the ceremony as well as any readings during the service. Work with your officiant to narrow down particular phrasing or sentiments that fit with your vision of the wedding and relationship. • Participants: Wedding party members fulfill certain roles during the ceremony, but they are not limited to those tasks alone. Consider asking wedding party members or other friends or family members to take on

A
bride’s hands need to look as polished as the rest of her wedding day ensemble. Not sure what to choose for your wedding day color? See if one of these suggestions fits your style. Nude colors – Brides may want to downplay their nails and not let them detract from their rings or gowns. Using nude colors will help achieve this. Nudes can include blush pink, off-white and beige-toned nail polish alone or in combination, such as with a French manicure. Some brides choose to go with clear polish and let their natural nails shine through.

specialized roles in the wedding. They may be able to do certain readings, escort guests to their seats, light candles, or sing and participate in other ways. • Musical interludes: Choose music that connects with your personalities as a couple rather than selecting standard songs merely because they are the easier route. Work with the organist or other musicians and request that they perform or play musical pieces that you enjoy. • Candle lighting: Many couples like to incorporate candle-lighting components to their ceremonies. Lighting unity candles blends two families together into one in a symbolic way. Other couples choose different traditions, such as mixing two differentcolored sands in a new vessel, to represent the joining of two lives together. You can consider these types of additions for your wedding ceremony or come up with your own unique tradition. Impart a special touch to a wedding ceremony in any number of ways. Doing so will help set this special day apart in the minds of guests and make it even more memorable to look back on as a couple.

Glitter – For a bit more pizzazz, brides can have their nails done with a nude or clear color enhanced with glitter. The glitter will add a bit of sparkle that can complement the shine of wedding rings and any embellishments on gowns or veils. An alternative is to have tiny faux gems imbedded into the polish near the base of the nail where it meets the cuticle. Nail Art – Polish can be enhanced further with nail appliques or painted-on designs. It’s common for nail art to only appear on one nail of each hand, and it’s usually reserved for the ring finger. As people admire the wedding ring, they also can grab a peek at some fun and flirty nail art designs. Bold and Beautiful – Brides who really want to make a statement can select a bold color for their nail polish. Coral and deep pinks can be a stark contrast against a white gown and add a bit of drama to a bride’s look. Brides also may want to coordinate their nail colors to the theme of the wedding.

ngaged couples may be ready to walk down the aisle and begin their new life together, but first they have to get to the ceremony. Limousines continue to be popular choices, but other vehicles also may fit your needs. Couples who want to arrive in style may want to consider the following options. • Take it to the water. If you’re having a lakeside or seaside wedding, taking a water route to your ceremony can make for a dramatic entrance. Vessel options include speedboats, yachts or something more intimate, such as canoes or rowboats. Afterward, you can coast off into the sunset. • Arrive like royalty. Take a page out of a favorite fairy tale and arrive in a horsedrawn carriage. Carriages can typically fit between two and six passengers. If you cannot find a carriage, consider pedicabs or bicycledrawn buggies as an alternative. • Step out of a classic movie. Vintage cars can make a statement. Although you may immediately think of a Rolls Royce, consider cars that embody your personal style. Rugged couples may want a classic pickup truck, while those who live life in the fast lane may prefer a vintage sports car.
• Take the party on the road. Moving a large number of people in the wedding party takes forethought. Party buses and SUV limousines can fit a substantial amount of passengers, making them a more cost-effective option for large bridal parties. These vehicles may be equipped with party lights, impressive sound systems and even minibars. • Go eco-friendly. If your ceremony is nearby, arrive on horseback or even peddling a bicycle. Such options are eco-friendly and, in the case of bicycles, may be free. When booking transportation, remember to do so well in advance. In addition, get all agreements in writing, verify that the company is licensed and insured and provide directions and the itinerary to drivers.

S
teeped in tradition, weddings have featured many of the same components for centuries. Those about to tie the knot may feel somewhat limited in their ability to shape their weddings into unique celebrations of their relationships and love for one another. Although it may not seem like there are many opportunities to put your own stamp on the wedding, there are plenty of ways to do just that. When looking to personalize your wedding ceremony, determine if there might be anything blocking you from doing so. For example, if yours will be a religious ceremony, there may be certain rites that need to be followed. Secular ceremonies may offer more opportunities to customize. • Vows: Vows are one of the easiest ways to put a personal touch on your wedding. You can select the words you want to exchange during the ceremony as well as any readings during the service. Work with your officiant to narrow down particular phrasing or sentiments that fit with your vision of the wedding and relationship. • Participants: Wedding party members fulfill certain roles during the ceremony, but they are not limited to those tasks alone. Consider asking wedding party members or other friends or family members to take on

Nail Colour the Finishing Touch to Wedding Day Prep
A
bride’s hands need to look as polished as the rest of her wedding day ensemble. Not sure what to choose for your wedding day color? See if one of these suggestions fits your style. Nude colors – Brides may want to downplay their nails and not let them detract from their rings or gowns. Using nude colors will help achieve this. Nudes can include blush pink, off-white and beige-toned nail polish alone or in combination, such as with a French manicure. Some brides choose to go with clear polish and let their natural nails shine through.

specialized roles in the wedding. They may be able to do certain readings, escort guests to their seats, light candles, or sing and participate in other ways. • Musical interludes: Choose music that connects with your personalities as a couple rather than selecting standard songs merely because they are the easier route. Work with the organist or other musicians and request that they perform or play musical pieces that you enjoy. • Candle lighting: Many couples like to incorporate candle-lighting components to their ceremonies. Lighting unity candles blends two families together into one in a symbolic way. Other couples choose different traditions, such as mixing two differentcolored sands in a new vessel, to represent the joining of two lives together. You can consider these types of additions for your wedding ceremony or come up with your own unique tradition. Impart a special touch to a wedding ceremony in any number of ways. Doing so will help set this special day apart in the minds of guests and make it even more memorable to look back on as a couple.

Glitter – For a bit more pizzazz, brides can have their nails done with a nude or clear color enhanced with glitter. The glitter will add a bit of sparkle that can complement the shine of wedding rings and any embellishments on gowns or veils. An alternative is to have tiny faux gems imbedded into the polish near the base of the nail where it meets the cuticle. Nail Art – Polish can be enhanced further with nail appliques or painted-on designs. It’s common for nail art to only appear on one nail of each hand, and it’s usually reserved for the ring finger. As people admire the wedding ring, they also can grab a peek at some fun and flirty nail art designs.

A 30-day fundraising campaign has started to bring the Friendship Bench to W.L. Seaton Secondary School. Alumni from the class of 1996 chose to support mental health awareness as the theme of their legacy project. Funds are being collected at http://thefriendshipbench.org/w-l-seaton-alumnilegacy-project/ “Although the hope is to engage Seaton alumni in the fundraising, community support is needed to make this project a reality,” said Sarah Hanson, a member of the Grad ‘96 class. “Mental health affects us all, and it is time to stand up and talk about it.” The Friendship Bench is a not-for-profit organization which strives to connect Canadian students who are in need of help with existing mental health resources. The organization was cofounded by Sam Fiorella in memory of his son Lucas, a second-year student at Carleton University who died by suicide in 2014 after living in silence with depression. “Losing Lucas opened our eyes to the epidemic of mental health issues among students and the need to raise awareness of both the challenges and of the many resources that are in place to help them cope with stress, anxiety, depression and the challenges of school,” said Fiorella.
FRIENDSHIP BENCH PHOTO
Fundraising is underway to install a Friendship Bench at W.L. Seaton Secondary School to increase awareness about mental health issues. “The Friendship Bench aims to do just that by encouraging personal connections and conversations about mental health, as well as connecting students to the many support services offered on campus. This bench will serve as a permanent reminder to students, faculty and staff about the importance of mental health awareness.” A yellow bench was chosen as the organization’s icon because it represents students taking a moment out of their hectic lives to stop and engage each other. “It will serve as a constant visual reminder of the importance of mental health awareness
and foster conversations among students in Canadian schools, where mental health concerns are on the rise,” states a release. “Further, each bench will feature a URL where students can quickly access on-campus and local mental health and suicide prevention services.” In addition to installing the bench at schools, the Lucas Fiorella Friendship Bench coordinates local and national awareness campaigns, creates mental health tips and coping strategies for students, and facilitates students accessing the growing list of on-campus mental health services.

A toast to the haggis and other fine fare 1/3 cup caster sugar
Cathi Litzenberger Morning Star Columnist
Tomorrow is Robbie Burns Day, a Scottish holiday named after poet and writer Robert Burns, whose poetry is loved and read worldwide. Highlights of any Robbie Burns festival often include the bagpipes, Scotsmen in kilts and the reading of Burns’ poem, Address to a Haggis. But no Robbie Burns’ feast would be complete without the dish of choice — haggis. A traditional haggis combines the boiled and minced liver, lungs and heart of a sheep mixed with chopped onions, toasted oatmeal, salt, pepper and spices, all stuffed into the cleaned sheep’s stomach, sewn up and then boiled gently for several hours. (My response is almost a gag.) Thank heavens there are vegetarian recipes available. Mashed neeps and tatties (turnips and potatoes), and Scotch whisky are also traditionally served with the haggis. Today I offer a modern haggis recipe where instead of the sheep’s stomach, you cook the haggis in a casserole dish. The dessert is a quick throw together, and the shepherds pie is a traditional Scottish recipe using lamb. Happy Robbie Burn’s Day to all of Scottish descent. Modern Haggis with Whisky Sauce 500g beef liver 250g finely chopped onions 500g minced lamb 500g minced beef 100g of porridge oats 125g suet (beef or vegetable) 300ml of meat stock (strain this from the boiled meat) ½ tsp. grated nutmeg ¼ tsp. ground mace ½ tsp. of cayenne pepper ¼ tsp. ground coriander Butter for greasing Sea salt Ground black pepper Preheat oven to 160 C. Cover the roughly-cut liver with cold water, bring to a boil and cook for five minutes. Strain and cool and then chop the liver with the onion, in a blender or on a board, as finely as you can. Cover the lamb and beef mince with water and bring to the boil in a large pot. Cook for approximately 40 minutes, and then cool. Keep 300ml stock from this cooked meat. Give the porridge oats a rough chop and toast them in a hot pan or under a grill,
Pre-heat the oven to 350 F (180 C). You will also need a shallow ovenproof baking dish with a diameter of 9 inches (23 cm), 1-1/2 inches (4 cm) deep. First, make the topping. All you do is place the sifted flour, butter and caster sugar in the processor and give it a whiz until it resembles crumbs. If you don’t have a processor, place the flour in a large mixing bowl, then add the butter and rub it into the flour lightly, using your fingertips. Then when it all looks crumbly, and the fat has been dispersed fairly evenly, add the sugar and combine that well with the rest of the ingredients. Now arrange the mixed fruit in the dish and sprinkle over the sugar to taste, then the crumble mixture, spreading it out all over the fruit with a fork. Place the crumble on a high shelf in the oven and bake it for 30 to 40 minutes until the top is golden and crisp. Serve with chilled pouring cream, custard, whipped cream, creme fraiche or vanilla ice cream.

This modern day haggis has all the flavour of the traditional, but uses a casserole dish for baking, instead of a sheep’s stomach. Either method is suitable to celebrate Robbie Turns Day, Jan. 25. shaking occasionally to make sure they don’t burn. Mix all the ingredients together with the stock and transfer to a well-greased casserole dish and cover with a layer of tinfoil. Place in a water bath using a pan large enough to accommodate the dish and add boiled water around it, to come ¾ of the way up the dish. Check this from time to time and top up the water level. Cook for about 2½ hours and serve immediately. The picture shows how to stack up for presentation. Whisky sauce: 500ml cream (2 cups minus 2 tbsp.) 2 tsp. wholegrain mustard 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard 2 tsp. Irish whisky Sea salt Ground white pepper 3 tbsp. chopped scallions To make the whisky sauce, heat the cream in a pan over medium heat. Add the wholegrain mustard, Dijon mustard, scallions
and whisky and stir with a small whisk. Increase the heat until the mixture is simmering and cook for 1-2 minutes until it thickens up a little. Remove the pan from the heat and season with salt and ground white pepper. To serve: spoon out the haggis, accompanied with mashed turnips and potatoes and drizzle with the whiskey sauce. If you have to heat it up again, do so in a microwave on full power and make sure it is piping hot. The haggis pictured was made using a small can opened at both ends to layer. Scottish Bumbleberry Pudding 3-4 cups assorted frozen fruit (blackberry, raspberries, blackcurrants, redcurrants, blueberries, bilberries, cherries and strawberries) 1 - 4 tablespoons sugar, to taste Crumble topping 2 cups plain flour 1 cup butter, cut into small pieces
Scottish Shepherd’s Pie with Goat Cheese Mashed Potatoes 2 teaspoons olive oil 1/2 white onion, chopped 4 carrots, peeled and cubed 5 thyme sprigs 1 pound ground lamb Salt & pepper 1 cup frozen peas, defrosted 1/3 cup pepperoncini Topping: 3 large Russet potatoes, peeled, cubed, cooked in salted water till tender 5 ounces goat cheese 1/3 cup milk Salt & pepper To make filling, heat oil in large pot. Add onion, carrots and thyme and cook for about 8 minutes. Add the lamb and sauté till it’s brown. Remove thyme sprigs, season with salt and pepper, add peas and pepperoncini. To make the topping, combine cooked and drained potatoes with goat cheese and milk, season with salt and pepper, and mash. Preheat the oven to 375. Add the filling to the bottom of your baking pan(s). Top the filling with mashed potatoes. I piped mine using a large plastic bag and snipping off a little corner. Bake the shepherd(s) pies for 25 minutes, then put under a broiler for 5-8 minutes till the potatoes turn a gorgeous golden brown colour.

A separation that can be endured
F
or the first time in 25 years, my daughter was not home for the holidays. For me, her absence is a phantom limb, the muscle memory of a part now gone, a burden I carry and recognize as a mother’s longing for an absent child. When your daughter lives overseas, she might as well be living
on the moon. My far-away child exists in a perpendicular universe, one I can intersect and visit on my iPhone or computer. It is a two-dimensional place where I can hear her voice but not her heartbeat, one where I see her face but not her soul. In my parents’ generation, the current
tools of technology were yet to be invented. Then, a child was let loose on the world, tenuously connected to home by an occasional letter or telephone call. At a similar age to my daughter, I recall my young stepsisters travelling in Europe and the worry my mother endured. She would wait patiently to
receive their precious onion-thin airmail letters. I can see those letters lying flat on the kitchen table and Mom frowning as she ran her fingers over their sentences, searching for the Rosetta stone that would unlock the words and translate them into the reassurance that her girls were healthy and safe.

times, it would be a brief collect call in the middle of the night. Then, when overseas calls were a king’s ransom and words were gold, conversations became hurried and succinct to save as much money as possible. It was only when the girls returned home that the true stories were told and sometimes not for decades. When I recall my mother’s trials, I no longer feel the right to complain about the technology available to my daughter and

I. I miss my daughter and I miss her all the more because I cannot have her here. I miss her smile, her spark, her laughter, her companionship and her wisdom. Separation in time
and space from our children is a small death and if a loss of a child in time and space can be this painful, how much more devastating would a total loss be? It is then that I remind myself that unlike so many other parents, my daughter is not gone forever. I can talk to her, see her face on the computer, visit her and have her visit me. It is with these thoughts that I realize being apart is a trivial thing. Separation is something that I will endure because I am not afraid to fly.

Two new leaders, Laura Meikle and Elisabeth Gratz, are available to help moms with breastfeeding. La Leche League leaders, trained and internationally accredited, offer a no-fee service over the phone, in person, or by electronic communication methods such as Facebook messaging, texting and emailing. “For successfully surmounting obstacles, nothing replaces oneon-one contact and I encourage moms to not overlook its importance,” said Meikle. “La Leche recommends methods that are proven to work and are evidence-based, backed by scientific studies.” La Leche League Canada has a website which offers moms up-to-date information: www.lllc.ca. Information sheets are also available on a variety of issues in many languages, including Arabic. Meetings are open to the public where moms can come and ask any questions about what
they may be facing, as well as network with other breastfeeding moms and participate in meeting topics. “The best time to start attending meetings is in pregnancy, as breastfeeding is a learned art and learning how to maximize milk production and avoid difficulties in the first place is a huge help in getting breastfeeding off to a good start,” said Meikle. Expecting moms are welcome at all meetings, as are young children. Morning meetings are the first Tuesday of every month at 9 a.m., and evening meetings are the third Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. Meetings are held at ALLo Wellness Centre which generously donates their space. Find and like on Facebook: La Leche League Canada Vernon where you can message either leader or call/text: Elisabeth Gratz at 604-865-0337 or Meikle at 250-2603846 or 250-309-4992 with concerns or for more information.

It’s time to make some NOYSE North Okanagan Community Concert Association holds its inaugural showcase highlighting young performing artists
Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
Visit any music or dance school in the North Okanagan and it’s apparent how many youth are pursuing the performing arts. The North Okanagan Community Concert Association (NOCCA) is about to highlight just some of those creative and talented students with the inaugural North Okanagan Youth Showcase of Excellence, or NOYSE, Jan. 31. “This is your opportunity to hear and see how bright the future of the performing arts in the North Okanagan can, and will be,” said NOCCA president Paul Maynes. NOYSE began back in November when young performers were called to audition at the Vernon Jazz Club for judges Trudy McGrath, Brian McMahon and Brenda Dewonck. “Young performers from Lake Country to the Shuswap will amaze the audience with their level of talent. Our judges would have auditioned for another five hours, the entertainment was of that high a calibre. You might want to consider the youth as young professionals, they are that good,” said Maynes. The young artists will perform in a professional-like engagement at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. In addition, each performer will receive an honorarium from Photo submitted the NOCCA. acclaimed pianist ian Parker is returning to Vernon to emcee the inaugural north okanagan Youth Grant money has been provided by B.C. showcase of excellence (noYse), taking place at the Vernon Performing arts Centre Jan. 31.

North Okanagan. Cellists Holly McCallum and Anastasia Helping to launch NOYSE is B.C.’s own The inaugural event features dancers Martens, guitarist Brent Matterson, vocalist virtuoso pianist Ian Parker as master of
ceremonies. Parker is no stranger to the North Okanagan, having performed with both the Okanagan Symphony and as a solo artist for the NOCCA at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. Born in Vancouver to a family of pianists, Parker’s credentials are extensive. He began his piano studies at age three with his father, Edward Parker, and later attended the Juilliard School in New York City, where he attained both bachelor and master degrees, and studied with piano professor Yoheved Kaplinsky. While at Juilliard, the Canada Council for the Arts awarded Parker the Sylva Gelber Career Grant, which is given annually to the “most talented Canadian artist.” He has also performed across the U.S., Western Europe, Israel, and throughout Canada on tours with Debut Atlantic and Jeunesses Musicales du Canada. In addition to emceeing NOYSE, Parker’s association with the NOCCA has included helping the association in its search for a new nine-foot grand concert piano to replace its aging Hamburg Steinway. Parker has “test driven” the new Hamburg Steinway, originally built in 1978 and previously owned by the Kultur Casino Saal in Berne, Switzerland and by concert pianist Thierry Gudel, who brought the piano with him to Canada in 1995. The cost of the new piano is $86,000, including a complete rebuild, refinishing, delivery and voicing. Most of this is being covered by NOCCA’s piano fund – a result of many years savings – as well as a fundraiser, where individual piano keys have been sold to patrons to meet a shortfall of $10,000. “The piano key fundraiser is now at 78 of the 88 keys, i.e. only 10 keys left,” said Maynes, adding the Steinway is currently undergoing refurbishment and should make its debut later this year. NOYSE takes place at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Sunday, Jan. 31 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $18 for adults and $10 for ages 18 and under and are available now through the Ticket Seller at 250-549-7469, or at www.ticketseller.ca.
Tribute artist brings the King of musical tributes to Vernon Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
Get ready to sing Viva Las Vegas when Donny Edwards arrives in Vernon Feb. 1 to present The King: A Musical Tribute to Elvis Presley. Based in Vegas, Edwards is an internationally known, multiaward winning veteran entertainer performing his tribute to The King of Rock ‘n Roll to sold out audiences worldwide. “He is the only tribute artist asked by Elvis Enterprises to perform on the grounds of Graceland,” said the show’s promoter Mike Schell of Schell Shock Entertainment. A Vegas casino performer, Edwards just returned from performing in Australia and is on a
Donny edwards stars in the King: a musical tribute to elvis Presley. western Canada tour that sees him performing eight shows in 10 days. “He’s performed in Vernon before around seven-to-eight years ago,” said Schell, who is not only promoting the show but playing trumpet in the horn section for the nine-piece backup band The
Cadillac Kings. “My horn section (the Uptown Hornz) and the Cadillac Kings have been with the Penticton Elvis Festival for the past 14 years and have played with hundreds of Elvis tributes, including in Memphis.” Schell emphasizes that Edwards’ tribute to Elvis is one of the most authentic out there. “He is so true to the King and not in a cheesy way. His show is about paying tribute to the memory of Elvis,” he said. Edwards will take audiences back to the beginning of Elvis’ career in the 1950s and the spark of the rock ’n roll revolution. Audiences will relive moments of the Memphis Flash with hits such as Hound Dog, Don’t Be Cruel,
Love Me Tender and All Shook Up. The show also travels to the ’60s, with hits It’s Now or Never and Viva Las Vegas, then to Elvis’ jumpsuit days, his climatic concerts of the 1970s, with hit songs and performances of Burning Love, My Way, American Trilogy and Suspicious Minds. “With Donny, he’s always been hired to play a specific part of Elvis’ career. He’s never done his full show in Canada until now,” said Schell. Edwards has performed for celebrities such as Marie Osmond, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Tony Stewart to name a few. He has also portrayed The King in commercials worldwide and TV shows such as The Young and the Restless
and several documentaries about Presley. Edwards has performed with many of Elvis’ legendary band members such as The Jordanaires, The Sweet Inspirations, Millie Kirkham, DJ Fontana and bassist Bob Moore. Opening for Edwards will be Cassandra Friskie (daughter of well-known B.C. Elvis tribute artist Randy Friskie) as Marilyn Monroe. Presented by Schell Shock Ent Inc. and TCB Rock and Roll Legends, The King: A Musical Tribute to Elvis Presley takes place at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Monday, Feb. 1 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $45, available at the Ticket Seller box office (250-5497469, www.ticketseller.ca).

Ride Along 2
eyton and Barber (Ice Cube and Kevin Hart) are about to become brothers-inlaw. Barber is a nervous rookie police officer and Peyton an experienced, hardnosed detective in Atlanta, Georgia. When Antonio Pope (Benjamin Bratt), a wealthy Miami businessman begins running drugs and guns Taylor and Howe with ties in Atlanta, Peyton is sent to Florida to investigate. He reluctantly agrees to take his fledgling and fantastically annoying brother-in-law with him. We were really hoping this wouldn’t come to Vernon. TAYLOR: But it did and here we are to report about it. The facts are as follows: if you can turn your brain off and you’re in the mood for Cube and/or Hart, who both have a decidedly one dimensional shtick, then this film is for you. It’s very much like the first one (the review for the original Ride Along is archived at vernonmorningstar.com if you’d care to refresh your memory): Car chases, Hart shrieking, crazy errors that in the real world would have serious consequences, scantily clad women, and grumpy Cube wearing sunglasses. HOWE: Hart whines. Hart whines a lot. In fact you would probably hear less whining at your local daycare centre. It’s not just in these two movies that he witters on, it’s in all of his roles. It’s all he can do. Cube also doesn’t seem to have the ability to change his persona. His character in the Jump Street franchise has an uncanny resemblance to his Det. Peyton. Talk about being typecast, or is it just the way they are? TAYLOR: It’s a shtick. They themselves are the characters of Cube and Hart. It is what happens when marginally talented individuals become known for a particular performance, sound, look or way of being. If a shtick is successful, it’s easy to find money to continue exploiting said shtick. I thought perhaps at first Ride Along 2 was going to be OK. Barber is a cop now, maybe he could act like a human being in the real world. No, I was let down. He is the same bumbling fool that remains unbelievable. Bumbling cop characters are nothing new, but Barber is also annoying. Other characters point this out as well. He’s supposed to be annoying, I get it. I just don’t want to listen to 90 minutes of it. Thus, I couldn’t possibly care less about Ride Along 2. HOWE: OK, I’ve expressed my complaints about their acting skills. Is the movie itself funny? In a word, “no.” The first one wasn’t funny. This one is even worse. After 90 minutes, I hadn’t smiled once, let alone laughed, but then again I didn’t expect comedy from the film. Hart isn’t funny and I am just praying that the Galaxy Cinemas don’t bring in one of his comedy standup films for review. If they do, Mr. Taylor, I am just giving you warning that I’m at the dentist that night. TAYLOR: I’ll be washing my beard. –Taylor gives Ride Along Two 1 week filling out paperwork out of 5. – Howe gives it 0.5 and that’s being kind out of 5.

HEALTH TIP TOM NOLAN
brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist
Fertility Awareness Week was held last May. It was a week for governments, patients and families to reflect on the challenges that many people face to have children. The technology to improve the changes of conception have improved immensely during the past decade but still some couples have problems. It can be a sad and lonely time. For help and support, go to fertilitymatters.ca There are links to many resources to help couples not feel so alone. It’s good to be aware of any changes in the appearance of any part of your body. This applies to moles and other skin blemishes, feet (especially important for diabetics) and breasts. In the case of breast changes, watch for lumps, size and shape changes of the breast or nipples as well as any abnormal discharges. Share any body changes with your doctor. The mid-day nap is a common cultural phenomenon in countries like Spain and Mexico. But daytime naps can be good for you, too. It can help lower your blood pressure which in turn can reduce your risk of heart attack. Not everyone can insert a daily siesta into their life but if you can, give it a try. The World Health Organization announced that we are a step closer to the total eradication of polio. The WHO has removed Nigeria from the list of countries where polio is still a threat. It has been a year without any cases of polio. When a country goes for three years, it can be declared polio-free. For information on vaccines, talk to our pharmacists. We believe in immunization.

Delhi 2 Dublin lined up to play Roots and Blues Submitted to The Morning Star
If you were wondering whether the organizers of Salmon Arm’s Roots and Blues music festival were intending on inviting musicians who can collectively whip an audience into an absolute frenzy this summer, the answer is yes. One of this continent’s most arresting and explosive live acts, Vancouver’s Delhi 2 Dublin has just been slated to perform. Rolling into 2016 with a wave of fresh momentum spurred by rave reviews for the new D2D release We’re All Desi, this amazing live act, that got its start a decade
ago, continues to take the world by storm, raising the rafters in halls in the U.K., Malaysia, Hong Kong, Dubai, and Germany, as well as every corner of this country and the U.S. Fuelled by the talents of coconspirators and founding members Tarun Nayar (tabla, electronics), Sanjay Seran (vox), and Ravi Binning (dhol, dholak) and their equally gifted road partners Serena Eades (violin), James Hussain (guitar), and Jaron Freeman-Fox (violin, guitar), Delhi 2 Dublin have rightly been dubbed “the United Nations of rock ‘n’ roll.”
“A Delhi 2 Dublin show is a spectacular mash-up of the electronic and acoustic, and multiple world and groove-based influences that will light the Salmon Arm site up on the evenings of Aug. 20 and 21,” reads a release from Roots and Blues headquarters. “Plus the band has nine albums of material to draw from, so look for D2D to be one of the major catalysts for a serious good time at Roots and Blues.” Early bird passes are still available at www.rootsandblues.ca or at Askew’s stores in Armstrong, Sicamous, and Salmon Arm.

Kelowna Kiwanis Festival celebrates 90 years Submitted to The Morning Star
The Kelowna Kiwanis Performing Arts Festival will be celebrating its 90th consecutive year of putting on a music, dance, and speech festival in the Okanagan. This long-running festival has had a positive influence on many tens of thousands of people – and festival organizers want to make an anniversary collection of festival memories and memorabilia. Festival alumni are invited to visit www. kelownkiwanisfestival.com to send in and/or post memories from past festivals or visit the festival’s 90th anniversary Facebook page at www. facebook.com/kelownakiwanis. Everyone who posts a memory/photo or brings in some memorabilia (old programs, medals, etc.) will be entered into a draw for free tickets, and other prize to the 90th anniversary reception and concert to be held at the Rotary Centre for the Arts Feb. 28. The reception will feature Okanagan wines and cheeses, and the concert will feature festival alumni who have gone on to professional careers in the performing arts. The Kelowna Kiwanis Festival is an annual event held in Kelowna for young and aspiring amateur performers to showcase their achievements in dance, music, and speech. Festival participants also have their performances evaluated in an encouraging and fair manner by professionals in their fields. In addition, participants can compete for awards and scholarships. All festival performances are free to attend and open to the public. In 2015, the festival hosted more than 2,000 participants and entertained 3,000-plus audience members during 23 days of festival performances in 13 disciplines and hundreds of different classes. They awarded more than $8,000 in scholarships and presented 150-plus awards to festival performers. For more information, contact the festival’s executive director Marv Machura at 250-3071505 or kmfest@telus.net. By the day, by the hour, by the minute, get complete coverage of today’s news at

Is there a concern with my dog licking its paws after walking on winter roads?
Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder THE REMAINING COMPETITION ANSWERS Here are the answers to the subsidiary questions in my Christmas Competition. 3. Look only at the East hand. After opening one diamond, what should he rebid when West responds (a) one heart; (b) one spade; (c) one no-trump; (d) two clubs; (e) two no-trump, balanced, no four-card major, game-invitational; (f) three spades, a splinter bid showing good diamond support, at least gamegoing values and a singleton or void in spades. The answers are: (a) one spade; (b) two spades (although three spades isn’t wrong); (c) pass (although two clubs could work out well); (d) three clubs; (e)
pass; (f) three no-trump (warning partner of good spades). 4. Look only at the South hand. North opens one club, South responds one heart, and North rebids (a) one spade; (b) two diamonds; (c) two no-trump. What should South do now? The answers are: (a) three hearts (but forcing to game is feasible); (b) three hearts; (c) three hearts (as long as partner realizes it is forcing; otherwise, perhaps four clubs, Gerber). 5. Look only at the West hand. South opens one notrump (15-17), and North raises to three no-trump. What should West lead? I vote for the heart eight (or the spade two, but partner rates to be long in hearts
and have entries). 6. Look only at the North hand. South opens two hearts, a sane weak twobid. What should North do? This is close. Pass could well be right, but it is reasonable to respond two no-trump, the artificial inquiry, asking partner if he is minimum or maximum.
The main ingredients in most ice melt products are sodium chloride or calcium chloride. Both of these substances can irritate dog’s feet or if ingested, can cause digestive issue such as vomiting or diarrhea. A dog’s paws should be thoroughly cleaned after walking on treated sidewalks and roads. Also dogs with longer hair on their feet or legs can accumulate snowballs which can pull and cause discomfort if not removed. Prevent them from eating snow, licking their feet or drinking out of puddles to minimize their chance of ingesting these substances. Consider buying a pet friendly version of ice melt. . Pet friendly versions do not contain the harmful chemicals. Another alternative to consider when taking your pet for a walk is booties. Not only will it prevent the chemicals from getting on the dogs feet, but also provides a protective layer to their pads. Sharp ice commonly found in parking lots can easily injure a dog’s pad. Most Pet Stores carry a variety of footwear especially for winter walking conditions. So take these precautions and enjoy your wintertime walks with your canine friend.

Suzanne Diane Wallden
It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Suzanne Diane Wallden on December 31, 2015 at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital at the age of 64, after a six month struggle with brain cancer.
Suzanne was born on May 19, 1951 in Toronto, Ontario to Frank and Joy Mills. She was the third of four children. Suzanne grew up in Orillia, Ontario and moved to Victoria, BC with her parents in Grade 11. After high school, she enrolled in UVIC where she completed the education program to become an elementary school teacher. In 1973, she moved to Prince George, BC to start her first teaching job. In the fall of 1974, Suzanne met her soon-to-be husband, David, on a hike with some mutual friends. They got married in Victoria on August 23, 1975 and then moved from Prince George to Vernon in July 1976. Suzanne began teaching at BX Elementary and taught there until 1980 when her first daughter, Lindsie was born. She then took seven years off from teaching. During that time, Suzanne had her second daughter, Courtney in 1983. Suzanne was a very devoted mother and took great interest in her daughters’ lives. She returned to teaching in 1987 and held various teaching positions at Whitevale and Lavington Elementary Schools. Suzanne’s passion was teaching children. She was very devoted to her career and didn’t think twice about putting in long hours. She was always thinking about school, even during the holidays. One of Suzanne’s other passions was downhill skiing. She loved being out in the fresh air, going fast and was known for leaving her family in the dust!
Suzanne was also an avid reader and frequented the library and its book club. She enjoyed many years of performances at the Powerhouse Theatre and the Vernon & District Performing Arts Centre. She liked attending the dance, theatre, North Okanagan Community Concert and Okanagan Symphony shows. Suzanne also volunteered in the Vernon & District Performing Arts Centre and was a member of the Vernon & District Garden Club and the Society for Open Learning and Discussion.
Suzanne loved to travel and go camping with her family. She always wanted to go out for walks with family and friends. She valued her friendships and always kept in touch with friends near and far. Suzanne will be lovingly missed as a caring wife, mother, and a very proud Nana of her three grandchildren. Suzanne was predeceased by her parents Frank and Joy Mills. She is survived by her loving husband David of 40 years, two daughters Lindsie (Jarett) and Courtney (Kris), three grandchildren Alexa and Morgan, and Ethan all of Vernon. Sisters Penny Mills of Victoria, July Mills (Craig Leitch) of Salt Spring Island, and brother David (Cora) Mills of Angus, Ontario as well as nieces, nephews and extended family. A Celebration of Life for Suzanne will be held on Saturday, February 6, 2016 at 3:00 pm at the Okanagan Landing Community Hall in Paddlewheel Park, 7813 Okanagan Landing Road. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society in memory of Suzanne Wallden.

Trust me, if I can pull it off, anyone can.” Proceeds from the event go to SPCAs and humane societies across the country, helping to support animals big and small who are in need of help. The B.C. SPCA will use these funds to find homes for surrendered, neglected or abused animals, and provide emergency care to sick or injured animals. “If you’re not a professional baker, don’t let that stop you,” said Matisic. “I’ve been known to pull out a box of mix now and again. After all, it’s not about the cupcakes themselves, it’s about making a difference.” As a Cupcake Day host, you will be part of an exceptional group of supporters who understand Applications now being accepted for the importance of animals in our lives.

Forecast strong Freeze Your Fat Away With CoolSculpting® JEFF NAGEL
Black Press
B.C.’s economy is forecast to grow at a healthy clip of three per cent this year despite growing global financial uncertainty that has seen stock markets plunge and the Canadian dollar swoon in tandem with the dive in oil prices. That prediction comes from Central 1 Credit Union senior economist Bryan Yu, who says the province will lead Canada in growth and should weather the global economic turmoil well, thanks to improved exports and tourism due to the weak loonie. “B.C. will continue to benefit from low interest rates and a lower currency, despite challenges presented by a weak commodity sector,” said Yu. “Lifted by household demand and housing investment, economic growth will ease slightly from 2015 but remain moderate.” Yu also expects economic growth to average three per cent from 2017 on, with steady consumer activity and higher business investment tied to major project construction. His forecast assumes one large liquefied natural gas terminal will be built in B.C. and Yu cautioned growth would be slower at about 2.5 per cent and unemployment higher by 0.5 per cent if a new LNG plant fails to materialize.
