The
Penalties drive home sobering message ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
E
ven if public perception is incorrect, B.C.’s new, tougher driving regulations have at least sparked awareness about drinking and driving. Vernon RCMP officers Sgt. Keith Ferguson – 29 years of service with 18 devoted to traffic enforcement – and Const. Ron Coles – 29 years of service, the majority on the traffic side – believe new tougher sanctions have ignited attention to the issue. People believe that being punished for having a blood-alcohol reading of 50 milligrams – .05 – is part of the new regulations. Not so. “The .05 blood-alcohol count is unchanged, but the penalties are higher,” said Ferguson. “What’s new are the sanctions, the consequences. As a result of these raised consequences, we have ignited, finally, public awareness.” Since 1977, police have imposed 24-hour suspensions at the roadside for drivers who have tested .05, and the person’s vehicle could be impounded for 24 hours. The annual average of 24-hour suspensions in B.C. was between 30,000 to 40,000. With those numbers, changes had to be made, said Ferguson. Now, under the new rules which came into effect Sept. 20, if a person is stopped and blows between .05 and .08 – what is known as the “Warn” range – the police officer will issue an immediate three-day driving ban if it’s a first offence, and a $200 dollar fine will be issued. The officer has the discretion of impounding the person’s vehicle. “If we feel there’s a risk that the vehicle is going to be moved again, especially by the person we just issued the IRP (immediate roadside prohibition) to, we’ll impound the vehicle,” explained Coles. If it’s a first offence, and the vehicle is impounded, it would cost the registered owner between $150 and $200 for the towing, and a $250 fee to have the driver’s licence reinstated – in the past, a person would get their licence back from police at the end of their 24-hour suspension. So, a first offence would cost a motorist around $600. A second offence in a five-year period would result in a seven-day driving ban, and out-of-pocket costs around $750. A third offence means an immediate 30-day

More drivers are rethinking their drinking before getting behind the wheel thanks to stiffer penalties for those caught in the ‘warn’ reading for blood alcohol level. driving ban, $400 fine, 30-day vehicle impoundment, enrolment in the responsible driver’s program ($880), installing the ignition interlock on the vehicle for one year ($1,750) and a $250 driver’s licence reinstatement fee. Total cost: Close to $4,000. If you blow a “fail” – higher than .08 – you will receive an immediate 90-day ban,
$500 fine, and out-of-pocket costs totalling more than $4,600. Motorists are advised in every case that they have the right to a second breath test, which now will be administered at the roadside. Keep in mind, it’s the second test’s results that count – the first number is wiped off the books. And that number could be higher on the second test.
An offender who is a worthy candidate diverted by police into the IRP – someone with past convictions or suspensions would not be a worthy candidate – would not be facing a criminal record. However, anybody involved in a collision that has been drinking and blows a “fail” will not be diverted and would face a criminal charge. The new rules have helped keep police officers on the road longer, looking for impaired drivers. Now, if a person blows a fail, and is a candidate for the IRP it might take a total of one hour from the roadside tests to the follow-up paper work. Before, it might take a minimum of three hours in dealing with the offender, plus a second officer would have to be taken off the road to administer a second breath test at the detachment. “The IRP certainly frees up more time for us,” said Coles. Between them, Ferguson and Coles have seen more than their share of carnage caused by drinking and driving. They’ve had to go to homes at all hours, inform family members that a loved one has been killed in a drinking and driving accident, then watch as grief and shock set in instantaneously. That’s why they hope the new rules will get people thinking before getting behind a steering wheel after drinking. “For years, we had many different options to the public, different programs and campaigns. The designated driver system,” said Ferguson. “We’d see four people in a vehicle and the DD has had three drinks. That wasn’t the spirit and intention of the designated driver program. “In addition to the DD, communities have the Operation Red Nose program. We have taxis year round. Now, the question has become do we have enough taxis? We’ve sparked that awareness. “We want the public to utilize all these other things that are available to them. Go out, have fun, socialize. At the same time you’re doing that, plan some other alternate method of getting home. That’s what we’re asking.” Asked if the new laws have had an immediate impact, Ferguson said it’s too soon to say. “We’re still seeing violations and issuing the IRPs,” he said. “The proof will be in time. We just have to wait and see. The sanctions are significant.”

Politicians fail to find consensus on parks RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The fate of Greater Vernon’s parks, recreation and culture function appears uncertain. Representatives from Vernon, Coldstream and the two electoral areas met Tuesday to discuss restructuring of the service, but after two-and-a-half hours, clear divisions were evident. “This has been a step backwards,� said Jim Garlick, Coldstream mayor, of the meeting. Most of Garlick’s concerns are directed towards Vernon and what he sees as the city shifting away from earlier support for restructuring. “We’ve been going along as happy as can be and we’ve hit this wall,� he said. Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director, also wasn’t pleased with Tuesday’s session. “You can’t force the marriage and if some participants don’t feel they are being listened to, I’m quite disappointed,� he said. Patrick Nicol, a Vernon councillor,

doesn’t believe the process is stalled. “Citizens have been telling us this is a good service, work out the problems and run the service,� he said. It’s not known where the process will go next. “We don’t have agreement on scope (of the service) and we don’t have a meeting of the minds on governance,� said Allan Neilson-Welch, a consultant who facilitated the meeting. “We don’t have consensus to be moving ahead with the current service review.� Neilson-Welch says that one of the jurisdictions proceeding with a withdrawal notice could trigger further discussions. Coldstream and the electoral areas focused on voting structure, partly because the city could gain another vote after the 2011 census. But Vernon Mayor Wayne Lippert doesn’t believe governance is a major issue. “Areas B and C and Coldstream wanted to change the structure in the first place, not Vernon. We kept the concept of balance of power there,� he said.
“The census in 2011 (larger population) is not guaranteed and if it is, we can deal with it then.� That brought a sharp response from Garlick. “To paint B, C and Coldstream as the instigators is incorrect,� said Garlick, adding that his municipality only wanted more input on park maintenance and Vernon expanded the negotiations. “Things were brought forward — taking the recreation complex out of the function and the city having control of it.� Lippert insists that the basic structure of the function works and any outstanding concerns can be addressed through firm contracts. “Our job as politicians is policies and budgets. You give the direction and funds (to staff and contractors) and not say how it’s done,� he said. While some participants want individual jurisdictions to look after what are classified as local parks, Vernon Coun. Bob Spiers points out that would include Polson Park, boat launches, Marshall Fields and
Creekside Park. “Those are regional parks. They should be paid for and enjoyed by everyone,� he said. Garlick says that if the city is truly committed to a regional service, it and the other jurisdictions should turn over ownership of all parks and facilities to the North Okanagan Regional District. “If we’re going to do something, let’s do it all the way.�

A portion of BX Creek along 20th Street has been upgraded to allow for better water flow.
Residents and wildlife are benefitting from enhancements along a portion of BX Creek. Sediment ponds have been constructed along the creek and a walkway has been built from 20th Street, behind Rona, to Stickle Road. “BX Creek is filling up with sediment and debris,� said Wayne Lippert, Vernon’s mayor. “This will help stop flooding and improve habitat for wildlife.� Efforts have been taken to re-establish the creek channel so water can flow more easily, and that should benefit one property owner who regularly endured high water in his field. “It became unusable for the farmer,� said Rob Dickinson, the city’s engineering manager. In terms of the boardwalk, it’s already proving popular.
done, the city is now looking at future phases along creeks in Vernon. “There are more pieces of BX Creek to do,� said Lippert. “We’re also working on Vernon Creek in the Landing.�

many residents have lived there long before the area was annexed into Vernon in 1993. “These are long-time residents,� he said. “The amount of money to connect to sewer was substantial for these elderly people.� Currently, sewer extensions to existing developed areas are done through development, local area service projects, municipal fee projects or a combination of these methods.
City policy presently allows for a one-third subsidy towards the cost of extending sewer to areas deemed to be an environmental or health concern. “As many of the unsewered areas in Okanagan Landing are experiencing ongoing septic system failures, it is likely that the current subsidy policy will be requested more frequently,� said Greg Thompson, municipal financial technician, in a report.
Parents oppose Grade 7 move RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Plans to move Grade 7 students in with senior classes is getting a failing grade in Lake Country. Parents and residents gathered at George Elliot Secondary Monday to get information on the Central Okanagan School District’s proposal to relocate Grade 7 students from Oyama, Davidson Road and Peter Greer elementary schools to high school. “The 200 people there didn’t want Grade 7 to move,� said Ryan Murdain, president of the Oyama Traditional School parents advisory council. School district officials have stated there is a need to consider class configurations because full-day kindergarten is creating some space challenges. Concerns revolve around 11 and 12-year-old children mixed in with 18-year-olds. “With Oyama Traditional being a small school, the students have greater access to one-on-one time with teachers,� said Murdain. “The traditional values expected of the students at the school also prepare them for the future.� There’s also a concern that moving Grade 7 students could lead to Oyama’s school closing. Murdain hopes the district will listen to parents. “They made it clear they were there to gather input. They said they weren’t there to force the issue,� he said. Noreen Guenther, a Lake Country municipal councillor, believes relocating Grade 7 students could make it difficult for some areas to attract families and that could impact businesses. “The superintendent said it’s a community decision so I hope that’s reflected in the final decision,� she said. Lake Country’s school district trustee insists a decision will not be imposed on families.
“There’s not the necessity to make a change. The schools are not chalk-a-block full,� said Anna Hunt Binkley. The school board isn’t expected to make a final decision until Jan. 12, and in the meantime HuntBinkley will meet with parents. “The majority of parents say they don’t want to them to move but I’ll wait to hear all of their views,� she said of deciding her support for the concept.

City hikes fines for nuisance residences RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The City of Vernon is increasing the steps it can take against socalled crack shacks. Council has approved amendments to the Good Neighbour Bylaw that will see penalties for excessive nuisance calls climb. “What we are doing is a service charge related to Good Neighbour events — noise, property maintenance, pan-
handling, etc.,” said Clint Kanester, bylaw enforcement manager. Properties that have frequent visits from bylaw enforcement, the RCMP or the fire department are targeted under the bylaw. Tickets for RCMP visits will climb from $100 to $125, while those for bylaw enforcement officers showing up will go from $75 to $100. Members of the East
Hill Blockwatch recently asked the city to utilize the nuisance abatement fee more as a way of deterring drug activity in homes. “The reason we’re bringing this forward is because of the request of a whole neighbourhood,” said Coun. Patrick Nicol. The goal is to have the amended bylaw in place by Jan. 1. “Implementing these fines will take care of
the usual suspects and they may start taking care of their property,” said Kanester. “It should bring about a lot better compliance.” The city’s old controlled substance and remedial action bylaw was repealed in 2009 and replaced by the safe premises bylaw. The changes occurred because of a concern that a property owner could challenge the

right to be denied access to his own home. Previously, the city could prevent a home from being occupied if illegal drugs were cultivated inside. It would have to be brought up to building code. According to staff, the old bylaw went outside of the city’s jurisdiction.

An agency that provides hot meals to those in need could get a helping hand from taxpayers. The City of Vernon’s finance committee is currently investigating whether a grant could be available to the Upper Room Mission for its kitchen expansion. “They want to serve more people,” said Coun. Patrick Nicol. The mission is trying to raise between $100,000 and $150,000 to increase the kitchen space, which currently includes two regular stoves and two sinks. Staff and volunteers serve about 250 meals a day. Nicol says the mission is assisting those residents who need help the most. “It’s a place where people can go, get warm and get a meal,” he said. “I go in there and I’m uplifted by how everyone feels.” Residents can also get on board through Aviva Insurance’s community fund, which is seeking worthwhile organizations across the country to support. You can go to www.avivacommunityfund.
Legal Briefs Q: What is Probate? A: Probate is the court-approved transfer of your assets to your executor for distribution to your beneficiaries. Difficulties may arise due to tax complications and so on, making the executor’s life difficult at the best of times. Often parents appoint their children. This can give rise to suspicions among siblings that one is getting more than another or that the executor is helping himself to the parent’s estate. Your lawyer can help you avoid these problems.

It’s OK for teens to talk
T
here’s been a lot of talk lately about bullying and teen suicide. Once unapproachable subjects, they now take up a lot of space on the ‘net, TV, and yes, your newspaper. Could it be the message is finally sinking in –– we are all vulnerable to the taunts and hatred that exist out there. That being gay makes it not OK for someone to slam you into a locker (yes, I caught Glee’s bullying-awareness episode Tuesday and thought they handled the subject rather admirably.) That it’s not OK to pick on someone for their race, size, smarts, looks, socio-economic status, or fashion sense. I mean, who are we to Kristin Froneman judge? That Facebook or Twitter, although great ways to keep in touch with each other, are not the places to put someone down publicly or post photos that show someone in a compromised position. In fact, taking photos of anyone without them knowing, in pain, or vulnerable, is just not cool. Bullying cuts deep, scarring some for the rest of their lives, and hurting others to the point of no return. It’s incredibly sad that it takes the death of a group of homosexual teenagers in the U.S. for people, and yes that includes the media, to take notice of something that has been going on for as long as I can remember. Some people will always want to hold something against another who they feel is different. It’s usually about their own insecurities –– a power trip to show their peers they are not the vulnerable one. And sometimes people are just mean inside (Remember Rachel McAdams’ character from that film Mean Girls. She was just plain nasty). If there’s any good that has come out of this (I say “good” with a heavy sigh), it’s that the
AT RANDOM
marginalized –– those who are bullied –– are really not as alone as they thought they were. A lesson learned too late for too many, but if it prevents one more person from committing suicide, then keep the message coming: Bullying can be stopped! Suicide should never be the answer. If you were to go into a room full of adults, those who have made a success of their lives –– the teachers, the doctors, the philanthropists –– and asked them to raise their hands if they were ever bullied while in school, I think you would see a lot of hands up in the air. My hand would be up. And if anyone ever watched the ‘90s TV show Freaks and Geeks, they might understand why. I have to say it was pretty awful at times having a group of older kids pick on me because of the way I looked –– purple hair and black lipstick, aside. And the most devastating experience was when my own friends turned against me for a while (It had something to do with a boy I liked that one of my friends also liked, which may seem trivial now, but back then was absolutely devastating). And there were definitely times I wanted to get away from it all... And no, my parents had no idea. It was my own terrible secret that burned inside of me until I felt like suffocating, and I almost did, until I finally ‘fessed up to a friend and later to my parents and then to a counsellor. But there are kids still out there who have gone through so much worse on a daily basis. If I could make up my own “Forest Gumpism,” my lesson would be: Life is like a roller coaster; you never know what is going to be around the next bend. That’s all I am saying. Kids get preached to enough these days. But if anyone out there is being bullied, and contemplating suicide, I am going to repeat the message: You are not alone and things will get better. Talk to someone, anyone. And know there are people who love you. Now hopefully the world keeps talking.
It’s the job no one wants — at least right now. Right away, there were rumours of many potential candidates, from within the Liberal cabinet and caucus and outside, for Gordon Campbell’s job. Thus far, no one has stepped forward. Several people have said no. They include John Furlong, the CEO of the Olympics organizing committee; Carole Taylor, former finance minister and Aboriginal Relations Minister Barry Penner. Several others are said to be interested, but remain coy. Possible candidates include Education Minister George Abbott, Health Minister Kevin Falcon and Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts. Abbott, who is Shuswap MLA, has stated he is definitely interested, but needs to find out final details about the leadership selection process from the party. He also made the intriguing comment that all potential candidates from within cabinet have agreed the party, and particularly MLAs, must rally around the new leader. He said the government has dug itself into a deep hole with the public, and only a united party has a chance of digging its way out. His point about the public’s opinion of the government is a very important one. It is also a very important factor in keeping the number of leadership candidates down. Anyone who has embraced the government’s handling of the HST issue, and that includes all members of cabinet and caucus, with the notable exception of Blair Lekstrom, is tainted in the minds of many members of the public. It’s no wonder so few are stepping forward to express interest in the premier’s job. — Langley Times

Councillor responds to water woes
M
y personal response to Geoff Wight: Thank you for your comments on your water bill. I was not thrilled with mine either. It amounted to $445. I accepted it since the costs are the consequence of the 2004 referendum for the borrowing of $35 million for water quality improvements and approved by the majority of voters. Coldstream is not the manager of the utility. It is owned and operated by the Greater Vernon water utility through the North Okanagan Regional District. NORD directors ultimately set the rates. The utility actually owns the water through water licenses granted by the province. It's not any different than the oil companies owning the oil the province licensed to them or the timber companies owning timber licensed to them. In order for you to receive acceptable quality drinking water, much has to be done, including, but not restricted to building a distribution system, treating the water and maintaining the system.
TAXES SOARING I wasn't going to pen this letter, but after reading Geoff Wight's letter to the editor in The Morning Star, I felt compelled to. I must state that I fully concur with Mr. Wight and must add other information I feel is pertinent. This spring and summer, we were constantly told to conserve water. I felt we were somewhat threatened if we did not. Yet in our home, we cut water consumption by 25 per cent in 2010 from 2009, but our bill is 11 per cent higher in 2010. Go figure? The cost of water has increased by 30 per cent in less than nine months. Have other Coldstream residents not noticed this? We must be paying the highest rates in Canada. Sewer has also increased by a whopping 24 per cent. I also see that Vernon overcharged Coldstream for sewer plant usage and is supposed to return $118,000 to Coldstream. I have heard, however, that Coldstream council does not necessarily want to return this money to the sewer users/payers. So just whose money is it? I have read that council may want
There might be some adjustment to pricing but the total costs are in the ballpark. As for privately managed water service: let me just point to the water you purchase in bottles and compare those prices to the prices you pay for your water service. There is no comparison. Private companies must make a profit, local governments are not allowed to. If your irrigation water flows back to Coldstream
to keep it in general revenue and I have to wonder why. Then I read in The Morning Star that Coldstream Council is looking, again, to increase property taxes. I have lived in Coldstream and NORD for 11 years and there has never been a year when there have been no tax increases. The last three years, we have been, and still are, in a recession, yet taxing authorities do not seem to understand this. It's time to hold fast. I whole-heartedly agree with Mr. Wight, and can only hope that the present council gets voted out. I would also like to be able to decrease the number of staff at NORD and Greater Vernon Services, as it would seem we are paying more than half of our property taxes to keep them operating. Again, have no other Coldstreamers noticed this on their property taxes? We are so overgoverned in the North Okanagan it is absolutely ridiculous. Maybe we all need to write a letter to our MLA to see if all theses levels of government can be downsized. Art Klukas HIGH WATER Coldstream water is too high.
I agree with the man with the quarterly water bill of $500. Mine was close to that. We have had dirty water for 30 years-plus, and finally it is much better. When we are not home for four months, and have no water usage, it is sometimes $50. Too high. Furthermore, the new municipal hall should never have been built as it was voted down. One population: one city hall: Vernon. Knut A. Krogstad BEG TO DIFFER In his letter to the editor, Lloyd Atkins states, "The Charter of Rights and Freedoms makes Canada a beacon of hope for people in search of a new beginning. The journey towards a peaceful, all-inclusive society is progressing in incremental steps. Multiculturalism exists in large part because to the dogmatic religious beliefs have be separated from the pragmatic reasoning needed to successfully govern a nation of global immigrants." I'm going to beg to differ with that statement. While we do live in a country that is very much blessed, and people of varying cultures can feel welcome and at home, it is only
Creek, then you are using way too much water and that is part of the reason for your high water bill. If you don't believe there is the risk of shortages, I am sure I cannot convince you. Some people believe all of our resources are limitless. I know it is not so. Fire hydrants are installed annually but we cannot do them all at once. I am not sure where you live but if you petition council with a number of your neighbours, you might get a faster service. The municipal hall was replaced by a previous council. However, the money spent on the municipal hall would have nothing to do with the water budget. They are separate entities and the water utility would have no call on those funds. This council is trying to do the best for the community but if you think you can do a better job by all means, brush up on your facts and run in the next election. I, for one, try to base my decisions on facts. Gyula Kiss Councillor, Coldstream
because we are a nation that has, or at least has had, a strong religious (Christian) faith. If separating out religious in favour of pragmatic reasoning made for a more utopian society, the socialist/communist governments would be considered ideal rather than the menace they have proven to be. Why did they prove so bad? Essentially because their first tenet was "there is no God." In this philosophy, man made himself to be the ultimate ruler, which ultimately led to corruption. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is a document that forms part of our country's constitution. The preamble to the Charter states, "Whereas Canada is founded on the principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law." It is because we recognize God as supreme and follow the rule of law that Canada is a peaceful, accepting nation where people can for the most part live free of fear. This is why people want to come to Canada. In the words of D.D. Stalker, "The final test of every human system or institution is the kind of people it produces."
Hopefully we as a people will continue to adhere to the preamble, teach our children to do the same and thus enjoy peaceful lives. God keep our land. Brian Unrau

to recoup, therefore increased sewer rates and reserves were used to do so. But ever since Coldstream was refunded $118,000 from Vernon for an apparent error in billing, some residents are calling on their elected officials to give that money back to the taxpayers. “In my opinion when someone takes something that doesn’t belong to them, that could be theft,” said resident John Hegler, who
demanded a refund and for rates to be adjusted at Monday’s council meeting. Mayor Jim Garlick says council needs to look at its sewer reserves before making any decisions. And he reminds residents that the increase to fees would have happened regardless, to cover the total shortfall. “Those two other outstanding costs still exist,” said Garlick, referring to the liquid waste management plan
and bio-solids plant. Hegler says he’s had a 23 per cent increase on his sewer bill – his base fee went from $83.50 to $102.50 and the charge per cubic metre rose from $1.26 to $1.54. The increase just adds insult to injury, said Hegler, unhappy
Athletic centre garners support RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The City of Vernon could be willing to jump through hoops for a gymnastics facility. Council has indicated it will keep the concept of an indoor athletic centre in mind when considering real estate matters. “There is support for this initiative,” said Mayor Wayne Lippert. “The city will continue to work with Greater Vernon on this initiative and we will try and see if this facility can happen.” B.C. Freestyle and North Valley Gymnastics are lobbying local jurisdictions to support construction of a $3 million indoor athletic centre. The proposed indoor athletic centre would cover about 10,000-square-feet. It could possibly accommodate 500 children a week. The gymnastics society currently provides programs to 250 children under age eight at the recreation complex. But a lack of facilities forces older children to go to Kelowna to train. In terms of sports involving acrobatics — including freestyle skiing, wakeboarding, snowboarding and mountain biking — 37 residents train in Kelowna weekly. An athletic centre could be used for school field trips, day cares, after-school and summer camps, birth-

Beloved pet found shot JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Gary Doern suspects his cat was target practice and hopes to prevent other animals from the same fate. Doern’s cat, Georgie, died as the result of a shot wound recently. According to RCMP and the veterinarian, the six-year-old calico was likely shot by a pellet gun or possibly even a small calibre gun. The shot went straight through her stomach. Doern discovered Georgie Oct. 26, around noon. The cat was still alive at that point, but yowling in pain. He rushed her to the vet, where she passed away overnight. “It’s really heartbreaking. It’s almost like one of your kids,” said Doern, recalling his laid-back, independent cat who was, “no trouble at all.” While the shooting itself is a concern, Doern is also disturbed by the fact that the cat was shot in daylight and in a dense neighbourhood. Looking out the window of his Wellington Drive home, watching an older gentleman walk his dogs down the road, Doern says it is a quiet and friendly area. He has no issues with his neighbours (most of whom are seniors or young families) and doesn’t suspect any of them would be targeting his cat. Instead he hopes to warn them that there may be some not-soneighbourly animal haters out there. He’s even gone as far as posting warnings in the area and asking anyone with information about the shooting of his cat to contact himself or the RCMP. He hopes to get the message out to whoever killed his beloved cat. “If somebody doesn’t like a cat, just shoo it out of the yard or bang something to scare it away,” said Doern. “Don’t use them for target practice. “They (cats) are not hurting anybody.” RCMP say Doern’s case isn’t unheard of.

Gary Doern kneels next to his beloved cat Georgie’s cross, still mourning the loss of his six-year-old cat who was shot in his neighbourhood recently. “Every year we get reports of animals getting targeted,” said Gord Molendyk, Vernon detachment RCMP media spokesperson, citing incidents such as poisoning and mutilation. “We don’t know if it’s random.” While it is illegal to shoot a firearm in city limits, many pellet guns are not considered firearms. But if someone were to be injured by a pellet gun being shot, other
charges would apply. Creekside Animal Clinic veterinarian Dr. Murray Flock attests that incidents like this one are rare but do happen. “It’s certainly nothing I see on an ongoing basis, but unfortunately, occasionally, I guess it does occur,” said Flock, Doern’s veterinarian. He also says that periodically when the office performs X-rays on cats for other reasons, they will come across pellets
nestled under the skin. The animal is otherwise healthy, but apparently had been shot at one time. The only sure-fire way to protect animals is to keep them indoors, but many owners, and animals, prefer the freedom and independence – as did Georgie. “They are safer inside and are fine inside,” said Flock. “But one has to have a cat-rich environment so they can be kept active.”

BUTCHER BOYS
Group unveils vision
FOOD MARKET “Proudly dl Independent d d — Locally Owned & Operated” by Butcher Boys Ent. Ltd.

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A Greater Vernon group is pushing for enhanced recreational facilities for the community. The Foothills Community Association invited local politicians, planners and recreational groups to participate in a tour Saturday. “We wanted to show them our area and vision,” said Wynn Polnicky, the association’s parks and trails co-ordinator. “Some of these people maybe had never been to the top of the bluff and seen its spectacular view.” The Foothills subdivision is part of the City of Vernon but it is completely surrounded by regional district electoral area. One of the suggestions has been developing a park on the bluff, which is currently private land. “It’s an old growth, mixed timber area,” said Polnicky. “It’s unique because it’s right in an urban area.”

Wynn Polnicky (centre), with the Foothills Community Association, discusses park plans with politicians and others during a tour Saturday. The association would also like to see Foothills connected to the Grey Canal trail, and other trails developed. “What we’re proposing is already in the city’s vision and Greater Vernon’s vision,” said Polnicky. Polnicky is convinced that such recreational enhancements could support the entire region. “This isn’t just Foothillers saying we want stuff all for us. It will be a benefit for all of Greater Vernon,” he said. “Because the view is so nice, it would become a destination.” The association’s next step is to continue to
promote its plan. “The FCA wishes to work collaboratively with all of the various stakeholders, including the city and NORD, as well as developers, real estate businesses, private landowners, and neighbouring districts such as BX/Swan Lake,” said Polnicky. Mayor Wayne Lippert attended the tour Saturday and he welcomes the association’s involvement. “We listened to the thoughts and concerns of people with the association,” he said. “They want to get buy-in so the community up there can have recreational facilities.”

Pup taken from vehicle at gas station TRACY HUGHES Black Press
A Salmon Arm senior is missing her best friend after she was the victim of a dognapping in Enderby. Sylvia Stewart was driving from Vernon home to Salmon Arm on Nov. 4, when she stopped for gas at the Shell station around 7 p.m. She got out of her vehicle to pay for her gas inside the station, leaving the door unlocked. “While I was in there, an old red truck pulled up with three guys in it. They looked a bit scary, and I was a bit nervous about going outside with them around, so I just hurried back to my car and drove off,” said Stewart. “It wasn’t until I got almost back to Salmon Arm that I noticed the dog was missing. She usually just sleeps in the car, so I didn’t even notice she was gone right away.” Stewart immediately drove back to Enderby, but there was no sign of the seven-pound poodle-Maltese cross pup she calls Jennie. “I know some people said I should have locked my car, but it

Jennie (in foreground), a seven-pound poodle-Maltese cross pup, was stolen from a vehicle at an Enderby gas station while her owner paid for her gas. was just for a few minutes. I mean what kind of country do we live in when you can’t leave something unlocked for a minute and people steal things right under your nose?” Stewart reported the incident to the police, but so far, there has been no sign of Jennie, who is spayed, obedience trained and is nine-months old. Jennie also has both a tattoo and microchip identifying her. “She was such a charming little thing. I’m very lonesome without her.” Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson,
says the police are still investigating and plan to consult videotapes from the Shell station. “This is a classic
example of a crime of opportunity. I believe the average individual might not think it was possible for something

to be stolen when you are only 20 feet away, but when you turn your back for a minute and your attention is somewhere else, a theft can happen that quickly.” Molendyk adds thieves will target any type of valuable and, with the holidays approaching, Christmas presents are a common target, as are purses, electronics — even pets. Stewart believes the three men she saw either took Jennie or saw who did. Anyone who may have seen Jennie or has information about her can contact the Enderby RCMP detachment.

Dog owners made aware of increased licence fees JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Increased fees will be taking a bigger bite out of the wallets of local dog owners. The costs to license dogs is increasing 33 per cent, effective Jan. 1, 2011. Up from $15 to $20. Additionally, those who delay licensing their canines will face increased late fees. Previously, those who waited until after March 1 to license a dog would pay $25 for a licence. Now licences obtained after Jan. 1 will cost $35. There will be a transition period for 2011, giving dog owners until
Jan. 31 to obtain licences at the reduced rate of $20. Licences can be obtained from the
North Okanagan Regional District office (on Aberdeen Road and Highway 6). Fees for unaltered
dogs have not increased since 1993. As a comparison, dog licence fees in Kelowna and Penticton are $20
and in Kamloops they are $17.50. One Coldstream politician wants to ensure her fellow dog
owners are aware of the fee changes. “It’s important for the public to know about this,” said Coun.
Maria Besso, who has taken more of an interest in such issues since she acquired a dog of her own.

Tower brings tax hike JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Taxpayers will likely be shelling out a few extra dollars over the next couple years to help cover costs of the new Vernon Jubilee Hospital patient care tower. The North Okanagan Columbia Shuswap Regional Hospital District’s budget calls for a 10 per cent increase this year. And it’s likely similar increases will follow in the years ahead. “We’re going to see increases of about 10 per cent over the next couple years until everything stabilizes,” said director Doug Dirk. The increase translates into an additional $6 or $7 on the average homeowners’ taxes (which are presently approximately $67 for NOCSRHD). The hospital district pays 40 per cent of the costs of the hospital through requisition, while the remaining 60 per cent comes from the province. The VJH Foundation’s Tower of Care campaign is additionally raising funds to equip the new patient care tower. It is anticipated the tower will be able to start accepting patients in September 2011.

Splats’in health centre opens JUSTIN SEWARD Morning Star Staff
The Splats’in Nation wanted a healthier community and they took a big step with the grand opening of the new health centre. The centre employs seven full-time and three part-time staff including counsellors and coordinators for various departments. Okanagan-Shuswap MP Colin Mayes was pleased to be on hand for the opening of the building. “It was great to be here for the prayer before the celebration, and what a great project and I congratulate Wayne Christian and his staff,” said Mayes. When the Splats’in Nation was discussing the idea of the centre two years ago, Chief Christian had said, “I think we talk about things and don’t actually do them and in conjunction with Canada Action Plan we wanted to get this project done.” The intention was to see what services were required in the community as “we brought in doctors, nurses and E-health is much more cost effective and working with Interior Health combining services to get better health in the community and utilizing some of our health practices,” said Christian. “This is significant
because people are coming and it’s good to see people communicating to one another.” The input from the community played a vital role in how this health centre was going to be built. “Another accreditation is having people’s input on who will use
it,” said Christian. One feature that will benefit a lot of patients is a sweat lodge where people can come in and help heal themselves. “Health is our responsibility and by having this clinic people will be able to do that,” said Christian. “We had a down

Remembrance Day is a day that a lot of people pay their respects for either a family member or friend who fought at war. The Carrington Place Retirement Residence, in conjunction with Chartwell Seniors Housing, recently unveiled a book called Honour, written by Yuri Dojc. The book was written in conjunction with the death of Canada’s last First World War veteran, John Babcock, and it also pays tribute to the 65th anniversary of the Second World War. It was emotional for some reliving those memories of being involved in the war. “I remember in 1945 we had a celebration in the whole village of Myrnam, Alberta,” said Pauline Kindrachuk, who, at the time, was a young child. “We were young and we were afraid of the word ‘war’ and how it would affect all of our lives.” The book means a lot to Kindrachuk as her husband was in the air force. “Honour is a very significant book in remembering the vet-

His thoughts on the Honour book were inspirational. “It means a lot as it tells me people remember the soldiers who fought in battle and I had close friends that I lost.”

Networking hell
S
tarting a new business can be a wonderful challenge. I can manage the paperwork, the business license, the name registration, joining professional organizations and much more. The area that presents the most difficulty for me is networking. It could be beneficial to join networking organizations in the community and then go out and “schmooze” with other business people. However, nothing will fill me up with terror like the thought of this will. Now a lot of people would not believe this would be difficult for me, as I do public speaking engagements, present workshops, and am known to be a humourist. As a counsellor I help people to express their innermost feelings and thoughts. It could be said that words and talking are my forte. However, when I have to promote me, my mouth, my tongue and anything else involved with talking (like my brain), all go on strike. I once actually said “Hello, my name is Farole Cawcett.” The person I said it to didn’t laugh. Understandably, they had a perplexed look on their face. So of course I laughed and when I do the nervous laugh thing, I snort. Ah yes,

my lips back and then reach up with my finger and rub my teeth… …….I mean, how un-kewl is that? That’s kinda like adjusting your undergarments publicly. Me and my flushed face wobbled into the room and saw a man standing by a table. He said something to me, and I felt I was in a Charlie Brown skit, because all I heard was “Wah – Wah – Wah”. So I just nodded and gave him my best lipstick-covered toothy grin and said “yes”. Then I wobbled away. He looked at me kind of oddly, so I’m hoping he didn’t say “how are you this evening” and I responded with “yes”. “Oh good grief ” I thought to myself. “Get a grip”. In the five minutes it took me to walk around the room, I met some friendly people dressed in blue, who gave me a lovely
shopping bag. Thank you. Then I moved on to another booth and saw someone I actually knew. Being shy has followed me all my life. I’ve learned to compensate, but it’s the ‘schmoozing’ that gets me every time. I know I’m not alone. Next time I’ll drag along a friend, wear flat shoes, check the lipstick and try not to laugh too loudly, so I don’t, well – you know.

According to the B.C. Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils, parental involvement in education results in greater success for students, better attitudes towards school and higher graduation rates. Participating in a Parent Advisory Council (PAC) is one opportunity to participate in your child’s education. But many parents aren’t quite sure how to get involved in a PAC, or what to do once they join. On Nov. 20, the PAC 101 workshop will provide parents with the information they need to be involved in their children’s school. “It’s a training workshop for PACs and for parents wishing to join their school PAC,” said Nicole Makohoniuk, president of the District Parent Advisory Council. “We found a lot of PACs were struggling, with a lot of questions about how to run a meeting, how to do a constitution, what is our school board doing and how to get parents involved. “So we had all these questions and I’m not an expert, so as an executive, we decided to bring the experts in.” Some of those experts include district secretary-treasurer Randy Hoffman and trustee Paula Harned. “We’ll have a lot of local experts in and it will be fun and light-hearted,” said Makohoniuk. The workshop takes place Nov. 20 from 8:30
a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Kalamalka secondary school. Parents are welcome to come for part of the day or all day. Cost to attend is $10 per person and includes morning muffins and lunch, all catered by Gum Tree Catering. Makohoniuk is encouraging individual school PACS to pay for members to attend. Workshop registration is due today — register at dpacvernon@sd22.bc.ca

Brrrrrrrrrr ... it’s shaping up to be a chilly winter in B.C. The region is heading into a La Niña year that could create the worst winter weather since 1955, according to some experts, and the Farmers’ Almanac is also calling for a cooler winter with above-average snowfall.
that is predicted. He looked at all La Niña winters since 1950, and says since then, there have been 18 La Niña winters
locally. Of those 18, 13 winters were colder than average and five winters were warmer than average. “That tells you that
there are no guarantees, but it also tells you that for every warmer-than-average winter, there were three colder winters,” he says. Twelve of those 18 winters were snowier than normal, but six were not.
And in the past five La Niña winters, three were warmer, one was normal, and one was a little cooler, Phillips says. “It may not necessarily be the winter from hell, but likely, we’ll have more winter than we had last year.”
Caution: Bad winter ahead! Environment Canada senior climatologist David Phillips says it can be difficult to accurately predict a seasonal forecast, but notes La Niña years are usually cooler, frostier and snowier. “It really comes down to which way the winds are blowing,” Phillips says. “This year, the ugly sister of El Niño – La Niña – is expected. (La Niña winters) typically give us more arctic air than Pacific air ... our outlook shows the flavour for this winter is colder than normal through the province.” Phillips notes that when El Niño and La Niña are involved, it increases the chances of getting the weather

Students stage remembrance JUSTIN SEWARD Morning Star Staff
Fulton Secondary’s Global Ethics class is remembering the troops of World War I with a vigil. The vigil is broadcast nationally from different schools across the nation. “It’s a national thing and it started in Brussels, Belgium,” said Mike Edgar, Global Ethics teacher. “Every day there was an official ceremony and the school set up a vigil for World War I.” When the vigil was set up at Fulton, it was organized with many pieces of what was used in battle such as jackets and a couple of bayonets. “We really just wanted to recognize who fought for our freedom,” said Mike Heglund, Grade 12 student in the Global Ethics program. “Mr. Edgar came up with idea of the vigil and the Global Ethics class basically started working on it for Remembrance Day,” said Ben Olson.
“We really just wanted to recognize who fought for our freedom.” — Mike Heglund As for the overall result of the Fulton
vigil, Heglund said he was pretty impressed
with it. “I’m really happy with it and it brings out what Remembrance Day is about.” In celebration of the showing of the vigil, Spencer West, an inspirational speaker, will be at Fulton Secondary on Tuesday at 10 a.m.

Movember growing on local men JENNIFER SMITH
cancer during his lifetime (the risk is highest after age 60) and one in 27 will die of it. It is the most common cancer among Canadian men (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer). Every week in 2010, 470 Canadian men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer and 80 will die of it. Signs and symptoms to watch for include: – the need to urinate often; – difficulty in starting or stopping the urine flow; – a sense of incompletely emptying the bladder; – burning or pain during urination; – blood in the urine or semen; – painful ejaculation.

Movember is here. No, this is not a typo, Movember is the new November. To celebrate Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, November has been renamed Movember. During the month, local men are encouraged to grow a 30-day moustache (also known as ‘the mo’) to show support and help find a cure for prostate cancer. And many locals are already showing off their support. To help spread awareness and education around prostate cancer, DiMENsions Fitness Express is hosting a public men’s health night Tuesday at 7 p.m. The free health event features information on prostate cancer and general wellness strategies for men. Speakers at the event include prostate cancer survivor Bren Witt, also director of the Okanagan Prostate Resource Centre Society, and wellness expert Graham Walker from Bayer Healthcare and DiMENsions Fitness. DiMENsions is located at 3105 28th Ave. To register for the event call 250-5494897 or email shelley@ dimensionsfitnessexpress.com. Also celebrating Movember is one of The Morning Star’s own.

Morning Star reporter Roger Knox shaves his long-attached moustache in celebration of Movember, Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. Knox recently shed his 12-year-old moustache (only the third time in 30 years he has ever shaved his upper lip). “I just like the whole idea of Movember,” said Knox, sporting his new clean-shaven look. “I support the cause. I know people who have passed away from prostate cancer and I know people who have survived it.” Knox’s new look has prompted many to question why he would abandon his trademark
‘stache, and in turn he’s able to enlighten them about the cause. His smooth upper lip has also brought on some shock and awe. “My son has never seen me without it,” said
Knox, whose 11-yearold son took one look at his dear old dad and with a laugh on his face said: “wow, you look freaky.” One in seven men will develop prostate

Snakes up for ‘Backs
Neilson nursing new gig
Morning Star Staff
GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
The opposition shouldn’t be too worried if they ever get slide tackled while playing the Mount Royal Cougars women’s soccer team. With a dozen nursing students on the roster, first aid is close at hand. One of those students is Vernon’s Monica Neilson, whose heavy course load was the main reason she made the switch from volleyball to soccer this season. With a shorter schedule, the naturally athletic Neislon felt soccer might be a better fit academically, provided she could make the transition. Having played with Claire Paterson’s Under 21 Okanagan SERGEI BELSKI PHOTOGRAPHY Whitecaps last year, it wasn’t that much of Mount Royal Cougars' Monica Neilson, a Vernon product, controls the ball in Alberta Colleges a stretch, but that didn’t stop Neilson from Athletic Conference women's soccer action. having second thoughts as she attended Cougars’ training camp as a walk-on. cially in female soccer. more about readjusting to competitive “I was so nervous at the beginning; I “It took some time for Monica to settle soccer. thought all the girls would hate me for into the training demands of soccer versus “I was lucky to be a rookie and travel switching sports,” said Neilson, now in her volleyball.

The Vernon Vipers are hoping a twomonth B.C. Hockey League study session will yield a better result against the Salmon Arm SilverBacks tonight at Wesbild Centre. The two clubs haven’t faced one another since opening weekend where the Vipers suffered a pair of 4-1 losses in a home-andhome series with the Gorillas. The fourth-place ‘Backs (14-8) trail the second-place Vipers (12-5-1-5) by just two points in the Interior. “We expect it to be a couple of good games. They’re just below us in the standings, so you can either separate yourself in the standings or you can fall behind,” said Vipers’ assistant coach Jason Williamson. The Snakes are coming off a roller coaster weekend that saw them blow a three-goal lead to lose 4-3 in overtime to the Merritt Centennials. They recovered by stuffing the Prince George Spruce Kings 3-1 the following night. Similarly, the Gorillas turned in a lacklustre performance in a 4-1 loss to the Prince George Spruce Kings before rebounding with a 5-4 overtime win against the Coquitlam Express. Vernon, 6-1-0-3 in their last 10 games, will get a boost on the blueline as Adam Thompson is set to return after missing three games to attend his brother’s wedding in Mexico. However, the Vipers are without forward Pat McGillis, who has missed the last five games with an upper-body injury. Meanwhile, Scott Jacklin recorded a goal and three helpers as the host Trail Smoke Eaters grounded the Penticton Vees 5-3 Tuesday night at Cominco Arena. Jacklin set up Cullen Bradshaw (2+1) for powerplay goals three minutes apart in the first period, then recorded the winner midway through the second frame. The Smokies, who lead the Interior at 16-7-0-1, went 3-for-4 with the man advantage. Joey Baker scored on a penalty shot in support of netminder Kiefer Smiley, who posted 30 saves for his 12th win. Former Kamloops Blazer Mark Hall had a goal and an assist for Penticton, who occupy third place at 14-7-0-1.

Sonics Zone out Panthers Morning Star Staff
The Seaton Sonics toppled the VSS Panthers 3-0 (25-21, 25-17, 25-10) in the North Zone Senior AA Boys Volleyball League Championships Tuesday night at Seaton. Both teams advance to the Okanagan Valley playdowns, Nov. 19-20. The Fulton Maroons came back from a 2-0 deficit to beat the Pleasant Valley Saints 3-2 (23-25, 23-25, 25-23, 25-19, 15-6) in the bronze-medal match. Fulton can use a wildcard challenge to earn a spot in the Valleys. Meanwhile, VSS grad Greg Niemantsverdriet is the B.C. Colleges Athletic Association men's volleyball player of thew week. Niemantsverdriet, a 6-foot-3, outside hitter, led the UBCO Heat to a 3-1 (25-20, 19-25, 27-25, 25-19) victory over the Douglas College Royals last weekend. Several big hits came from both sides of the net in the first set, but ultimately Niemantsverdriet put the point away for the Heat with a massive hit to make it 11-11. This triggered an offensive surge for the Heat, with Nate Speijer wowing fans with two monster serves to put the Heat up 18-15. Some solid serves by setter and Seaton grad Preston Tucker, in combination with a massive kill by Nate Speijer, rounded out a 25-20 opening win. In the third set, a nice string of serves by Niemantsverdriet and strong offence by Speijer enabled UBC Okanagan to get off to a great 6-1 start.

VSS Panthers' Colby Weitzel goes up for the spike against Seaton Sonic defenders during North Zone Senior Boys Volleyball Championship action Tuesday night at Seaton gym. The fourth set was uneventful for the first half, both teams neck-in-neck at 13-13. Several Royals errors put the Heat ahead 18-16, and an ace by Niemantsverdriet helped the Heat begin to pull away from the Royals.
The Heat, who are ranked No. 3 in the nation, host the College of the Rockies tonight (7:45) and again Saturday (2:45 p.m.). Fulton grad Jordan Young is a freshman setter with the Heat.
Beadman finds 400 form KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
KEVIN MITCHELL/MORNING STAR
Kyle Beadman shows the form that earned him a 400 game recently at Lincoln Lanes.
Kyle Beadman rolled a gutter ball to start the night and then rebounded with a career 400 in fivepin bowling action at Lincoln Lanes. The 36-year-old couldn't have picked a better time to join the prestigious 400 Club. He nailed strikes in the right seven frames to claim the $334 Strike It Rich jackpot and gains a free entry into the Provincial 400 Tournament next fall in Surrey. Beadman, employed in operations with the Ministry of Natural Resources, followed up with 210-203 to record an 813 series, his first career 800 triple. He hit 10 strikes in a row, knocking down the two-three pins on the left with his last ball. "My goal this season was 300 and I had that beat in the eighth frame," smiled Beadman, a six-footer weighing at 200-plus. After the gutter ball, I never expected that. I've bowled four,
five in a row, but never anything like that. I didn't even know I had a 400. Sara (teammate Durrant) yelled out that I had made it." The 400 came in the Tuesday Night Mixed League on Oct. 26 while bowling for The Tickler. His other teammates are veteran standout Dan DeBoer, Jordan Yavis and Drew Johnson. "My average going in was 192 so that kind of bumped me up to 200. Now I know what Dan feels like." A father of two, Beadman moved to Vernon in 2007 from Prince Rupert, where he started bowling. "It's a great activity or sport or hobby, whatever you want to call it. I look forward to Tuesday nights. There are lot of competitive bowlers out here." An Edmonton Oiler fan, Beadman is a forward with Moe Joe's in the Interior Hockey League.

Wings pluck title Morning Star Staff
The Butcher Boys Red Wings edged the Interior Savings Hitmen 4-3 Sunday in a thrilling A final of the Vernon Lord of the Rink Pee Wee House Hockey Tournament at Civic Arena. Cole Benjaminsen scored twice, including the winner, to spark the Red Wings in the 10-team tourney championship. “It was an evenly-matched battle that forced goalies on both ends of the ice to make big saves to keep their teams in the game,” said Butcher Boys coach Frank Kaempf. “It was an exciting finish to a close and exciting tournament.” The Hitmen led 2-1 after one period on goals by Parker Wadsworth and Jakob Marshall. Jake Pelletier equalized early in the third. The Hitmen responded a few minutes later on a goal by Marshall. A battle in front of the Hitmen net was won by Connor Granger who tied it 3-3. Butcher Boys opened by tying Kamloops Spartans 3-3 on goals from Carter Bosquet, Benjaminsen and Colton Greeno (equalizer). Benjaminsen then pulled the hat trick as the Wings crushed the South Okanagan Gun Show 6-1. Steele Pelletier (2) and Keefer Kaempf rounded out the Wings’ offence. The Wings got four goals from Pelletier in a 7-2 win over the Westside Rebels Saturday afternoon. Benjaminsen had 1+4, while Greeno and Brendan Horsfield also scored. In North Okanagan Bantam Super Hockey League action, the line of Chris Gallant (4+1), Marcus Finn (2+3) and Cameron Sawden (3A) clicked for 13 points as the Denny’s Saints stuffed the Corbett Office Supply Sharks 14-3 Sunday. Lucas Colgan collected 3+1 for the 3-1 Saints, while singles came from captain Layne Greene, Josiah Bellamy, Taylor Maxwell, Marshall Box and Josh Lerbeck. Kristian Currie earned
three assists and took first star. Kyle Dennis was stellar in net at PV. Brandon Tarasenko, Isaiah Wenger and Brandon DeJong answered for the 3-2 Sharks. The DCT Chambers Trucking Red Bulls edged the Lumby Stars 5-4 Sunday at PV. Russell Day led the Bulls with two goals, including the go-ahead tally with 4:46 left. Singles went to Brett Shaigec, Parker Gray and Ben James. Day finished off a nifty passing play with Shaigec by going top shelf backhand just 42 seconds into the game. Lumby then reeled off three unanswered goals before Shaigec went coast to coast and buried a wrister off the crossbar. The Stars went up 4-3 before James equalized on a rebound of a Brittany Jackson shot. Day potted the winner with a backhander after Shaigec worked hard to get the puck. Logan Meier (2), Jayden Pedersen, and Keenan MacDonald answered for the Stars. Pee Wee alternate goalie Sylvan Lucet was outstanding for the 4-1 Red Bulls, who are in the Valemount tournament this weekend. In Midget Super League action Saturday, Brendan Squair and Adam Fenske each scored twice as the Nedco Blazers bounced the Vernon Battery Chargers 7-1. Devon Head, Scott Reczka and Cole Hadland contributed singles for the Blazers, who got three assists from Steven Goebel and two apiece from Mykaila Head, Devon Head and Reczka. Dustin Folliott replied for the Chargers. The Lumby Stars Novice Cs stopped the North Okanagan Knights 12-5 Saturday at Nor-Val Sports Centre. Tage Kineshanko made several great saves to help the Stars, who got 3+1 from Conner Seehaver and 2+3 from Linden Catt. Matthew Yaremcio, Nic Teale and Quin Williamson all counted 2+1.

Held scoreless in regulation, sniper Jason Elders beat Blair Miller in the shootout as the Teale Utility Canucks shaded the Re/Max Rangers 6-5 in Interior Hockey League action Sunday night at Wesbild Centre. Neil Jones of the Canucks also connected, while Delaney Halifax failed in the shootout. Shawn Bourgeois and Tom Proctor both missed on their chances on Canuck goalie Steve Clarke before Tom Ouchi scored. Halifax supplied 3+1, while Troy Killingbeck added 1+2 and Jones also scored in regulation as the Canucks went to 8-0-0-1. Scott Kowalski netted 1+3 for the Rangers (5-10-2), while Bourgeois earned 1+2 and other goals came from Mike Jodoin, Brad Kowalski and Keith Green. Logan Massie scored four times as the Westwood Cabinets Flyers stayed close to the Canucks by mauling Moe Joe’s 11-5 Tuesday night at Civic Arena. Paul Saunders collected 2+3, while Kevin Arbuckle added 2+2 and Rick Galvagno earned 1+4 for the Flyers. Matt Glinsbockel had 1+2 and Manish Bhatt also scored once. Corey Massie produced three assists as the Flyers went to 8-1-0-1.

Belles ready to roll Morning Star Staff
The Thompson Okanagan Ringette League (TORL) Belle AA team has been picked, and the squad is looking forward to a very competitive season. This season's team is made up of the best of the best players from Vernon: Karli Mazu, Rylee English (transfer from Terrace), Lisa Weatherill, Delanie Thorlakson, Lindsay Macleod, Kirstan Moore, Summer Jespersen, and goaltender Kirsten Wiltshire. Enderby/ Armstrong's Paige Castle joins West Kelowna sniper Gabby Maduck (via Saskatoon), while Salmon Arm brings Emily Ferguson and Toni Hamilton. After a 7-7 tie with the Kelowna open girls team last weekend, TORL continued to build momentum with a great 6-4 win. The Belles got the first goal with less than two minutes into the game when Jespersen drove to the net with a sweet pass from Thorlakson and scored the first of three goals. The Belles fell into stride and worked the ring hard in the offensive zone. Head Coach Tralee Mazu said it was the best she’s seen her girls play. "There was lots of grit and speed out there and we were making those plays we actually practised," said Mazu. "It was beautiful to watch." Jespersen also had one assist, while Ferguson scored twice and Thorlakson supplied three assists. The Belles battle the Kelowna Open team again Saturday (8:45 a.m.) at Priest Valley Arena.

Falcons stellar in sub role Morning Star Staff
Asked to replace the Fort St. James Falcons at the B.C. Senior A Boys Soccer Championships in Rossland/Trail at the last minute, the A.L. Fortune Falcons dug out their boots and ended up placing 12th in the 16-team finals. Missing one player who couldn't make the trip, and suffering from a few injuries, Fortune competed hard. "The team should be proud of accomplishing their goal for the season which was to improve on last year's 14th-place finish," said Fortune coach Terry Shykora. The Falcons lost 5-0 to the Nakusp Cougars and 4-0 to the Immaculata Mustangs before brushing back the North Island Norsemen of Port McNeill 2-1 to finish third in their pool. Josh Vetter, who was named to the Commissioner's Eleven team, scored on a beautiful deflection off a corner in the first minute and the Falcons continued to press. When a Port McNeill forward was red-carded for kicking Fortune keeper Evan Campagnolo in the chest and putting him out of the game, the opportunity arose for Billy Abbott (honourable mention for Commissioner's Eleven award) to score an insurance goal from 30 yards. Port McNeill scored late on a penalty. The Falcons immediately

Penticton crank up Heat Morning Star Staff
T H E S O V E R E I G N L A K E N O R D I C C LU B P R E S E N T S . . . An event to support
It was their best result against the Penticton Heat all season, but it wasn’t enough to earn the North Okanagan Legends a berth in the B.C. Under 16 Field Lacrosse Championships. Tied 7-7 heading into the final period, the Legends, playing their second game after an hour’s rest, ran out of steam as they fell 9-7 in the Interior Field Lacrosse League finals Sunday at MacDonald Park. Jay Seaton led the Legends with a hat trick, including the equalizer with one second remaining in the second period. Cole Seidel canned a pair of goals and Ryan Sarazin and Braden Barr each had one. Mitch Brodt and Mitch Walton, each with a pair of goals, led Penticton, who will advance to provincials, Feb. 17-20 at the University of Victoria. Earlier Sunday, Barr turned in a six-goal performance as North Okanagan pummelled Kamloops 13-2. Joel Castle, Daniel Peterson and Austin Williamson chipped in with two goals apiece and Seaton recorded a single. Netminder Cole McFarlane played steady in both games. The U14 Legends dominated the Kelowna Kodiaks 7-0 to advance to provincials. Meanwhile, Seaton recently returned from North Carolina where he played with the Burnaby Mountain Selects junior team in the Charlotte Fall Classic Tournament. The two-day event featured more than 60 teams in seven divisions, with elite club teams hailing from Florida, Georgia, Illinois and Virginia. The juniors opened with consecutive 8-5 losses

THE WORLD’S BEST CURLERS ARE COMING TO VERNON!
DO YOU HAVE YOUR TICKETS YET?
A pair of Vernon Speed Skating Club members struck gold at the B.C. Cup in Abbotsford last weekend. Connie Kapak, competing in a group of five 11-year-olds, placed first in her division. Trevor Rasmussen, with six first-place finishes, uncovered gold in the open men’s division. Earlier, Shaughnessy Barker and Kapak competed at the annual October Chill, hosted by the Kamloops Long Blades. Barker, 10, co-winner of the club’s most improved award last season, secured second place in field of five 10-year-olds. Kapak beat out four skaters to collect gold and earn a berth in the B.C. Cup. “The local club is definitely gaining momentum, our numbers are up this year and the phone is ringing. This can be attributed to post-Olympic interest, Speed Skate Canada’s new policy of allowing hockey skates to be worn (up to age 12), in an attempt to gain hockey players as a cross sport,” said club spokesman Pete Kapak. “Having a skater of Trevor Rasmussen’s calibre has been a real inspiration to all of our skaters. His near-Olympic times create a buzz around the rink, at practice and competitions alike.”

SEAN CONNOR/BLACK PRESS
Artist Julie Elliot stands next to her project that points out the size in apple production between Washington state and Okanagan Valley fruit orchards, and how that hurts our local economy.
November 12 - 14 Friday, Saturday & Sunday 10 am - 5 pm
Art illustrates orchard crisis JUDIE STEEVES Black Press
Some people wear their hearts on their sleeves, but Julie Elliot of Oyama takes up a whole wall in the Lake Country Art Gallery. A mixed media artist who has been growing apples for the past 30 years or so, Elliot’s installation illustrates the difference in size between production in neighbouring Washington State, and in B.C.’s Okanagan Valley. And, she’s hopeful it will start a discussion. “Art can be used to educate, critique, or start a discussion. There’s lots of talk right now about the crisis in the orchard industry, and this should add to that.” The piece — called Buy B.C. — is composed of 110 block prints of apples on a wood background, with each representing a million boxes of apples grown in Washington State. Underneath there are three real apples, indicating the relative size of B.C.’s industry. “The metaphor is that when we buy U.S. apples, it’s an empty purchase ultimately because that doesn’t contribute to the B.C. or Canadian economy. It’s like a virtual apple. Buying B.C. apples is true sustenance because you get the whole reality,” she said “If we don’t choose to buy B.C., we won’t have an orchard industry much longer.” Her piece is part of an exhibition called Harvest organized by Jim Kalnin, with six artists participating. When he asked Elliot to participate, she talked to him about an idea she’d been thinking about all year, and he agreed to set aside the space she’d need. The ambrosia apples impaled in the piece were picked from her orchard, and have been refreshed regularly since the exhibit opened. “I hope it will raise awareness of the importance of supporting B.C. and Canadian agriculture,” she said. “If consumers stop buying U.S. apples and request B.C. fruit, retailers will stop buying them and will instead purchase local fruit first. “I don’t want to beat up the retailers. This is not against local grocers. But, consumers do have power.”
She’s also hopeful that the piece will educate the public about the competitive pressure the B.C. industry operates under. “It’s a real challenge to compete against those growers who have access to cheaper labour, cheaper water and cheaper power than we do,” she said. “It’s one thing to hear the comparison, but it’s quite another to visualize it.” The exhibit continues through to the middle of November. Elliot studied art at Okanagan College and has been a printmaker and painter for 20 years. She also teaches art. Her work is available at Gallery Odin at Silver Star, as well as at other local galleries. Other artists featured in the exhibit are Mary Bull, Lois Huey-Heck, Gary Langrish, Mary McCulloch and Marlene McPherson.

"ARN OPENS TO BELOVED STORY Seaton drama students weave Charlotte’s Web for the stage JUSTIN SEWARD AND KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
JUSTIN SEWARD/MORNING STAR
Charlotte (Silken Smart, above) drops down to see her barnyard friend Wilbur (Steve DeShane), with Fern (Emma Byskov) and Templeton the Rat (Jake Harrigan), in 27th Street Theatre’s presentation of Charlotte’s Web at W.L. Seaton Secondary School.
Silken Smart handles the hairy, black creature with care, not wanting to tangle any of its eight spindly legs. The W.L. Seaton Secondary School student is in rehearsal for her drama class’ upcoming production, and plays the integral role of Charlotte in an adaptation of one of the most beloved children’s stories of all times. And her name is perfect for the role, as Smart must use dulcet, or silken, tones to voice the wise, barn spider, actually a puppet, in this production based on Joseph Robinette’s script from E.B. White’s famed book, Charlotte’s Web. “When I read the script in drama class, the way the character was portrayed, it grabbed my attention,� said the Grade 11 student. Described as an Animal Farm for the under-20 set, there are more than a few adults that have shed a tear or laughed along to the story of Charlotte’s Web. “This is a faithful adaptation of the story, and the spirit of the book is captured. The plot-line is followed to a T, there are no twists or turns added,� said Seaton drama teacher Brittany McMillan, who is producing and directing the production. “We’ve simplified it a little to keep the running time down and the dialogue, but we’ve tried to keep the spirit of the book and what it represents. That is love, loyalty, heroism and friendship.� For those who haven’t read the book since grade school, Charlotte’s Web follows the story of Wilbur the pig (played in the Seaton production by Steve DeShane), who is going to be killed because he was born too small. His life is saved by a young girl, Fern (Emma Byskov), when he is shipped off to her uncle Zuckerman’s (Justin Kopy) farm, and it’s there where he meets Charlotte. “The story of the play is how these characters are connected and how their friendship is linked,� said McMillan. “Most of us studied Charlotte’s Web
in primary school. The book was written in ‘52, so there are grandparents who remember the book. It’s a show for every age.� And although there are some tearful moments, especially at the end of the story, Robinette’s script is mostly a comedy. “The (end) is done in a soft/gentle way. It’s something kids can watch and not be overpowered by it,� said McMillan. “We want to keep this as professional as possible, and not appear goofy, but tasteful and classy.� And that goes for the cast of actors who take on the half-animal, half-human roles. They have had to do the ground work of taking on the physical character of an animal, through voice and barnyard noises, and it has taken a lot of commitment from the students, who have spent the past three months, including weekends and weekdays after school, preparing for the play. “Taking on a big role is more work and a lot of memorization. You have to know where everyone is and not just yourself,� said Grade 12 student DeShane. “It’s just crazy as we have three-to-four rehearsals a week and it will be nice to get the ball rolling. I probably spend a good 10 hours a week here.� As for donning the Pepto Bismol-coloured overalls to play Wilbur for the production, DeShane says he owes his teacher for that. “I don’t mind wearing the pink as Mrs. McMillan does a lot of things for us, so we should return the favour.� McMillan’s stagecraft Grade 11 and 12 students have also been busy building the barn set, props and masks. “The script called for the interior of a barn, so I visited a lot of barns this summer. I felt the interior was not as interesting, so I changed it to an exterior,� she said. “The set has a lot of web-themed lines. Everything is connected.� Charlotte’s Web runs Nov. 23 to 27 at 7 p.m. as well as a matinee on the 27th starting at 2 p.m at Seaton’s 27th Street Theatre. The approximate running time of the show is 70 minutes. Doors open half an hour before the show begins. Admission is $6 per child under 10, $9 per student/senior and $11 per adult. Tickets are now available at the Seaton drama office, as well as at the door.
9OU VE NEVER SEEN Snow White QUITE LIKE THIS KRISTIN FRONEMAN
Morning Star Staff
Forget the seven dwarves. Asparagus Community Theatre’s new production of Snow White features eight tiny stockbrokers. This is a pantomime, after all. Rehearsals are in full swing at Armstrong’s Centennial Theatre for the slightly fractured, but wholeheartedly hilarious panto, which
takes the stage in time for the Christmas season. “It’s definitely not your Disney Snow White,� said director Dai Scott. “There’s lots of music, and the typical arguing, pushing and shoving that pantos tend to have.� Written by John Beeteson, Snow White features the typical man-playing-woman, or man-playing-dame of traditional pantos.
“Normally an older man plays the dame in British pantomimes, but we have David Domarchuk-White, who is in his early 20s,� said Scott. “Our job is to make him as overweight and dowdy as possible.� The show follows Snow White (played by Shaleen Toney), who along with King Woodynut (Doug Fairweather), the prince (Tanner Konrad) and Snow White’s dimin-
utive sidekicks win out over the wicked queen-witch Wormelda (Kaila Sinclair.) Then there’s Billy Biggles (Alex Patterson), the castle staffer who wants to be an actor, and Tiggles (Maya Ritchey), a well-educated Tiger who pretends all through the play that she is a dog. This is a pantomime, after all.

Hi-ho, it’s off to Armstrong we go Continued from page B1 The show also has its quota of little people. “There are 22 in the cast and more than half are children and teens,� said Scott. The whole thing erupts in the second act when a circus act takes the stage. The list of circus performers include a juggler and a strong man, actually two gentlemen who compete as bodybuilders in real life. There’s also clowns, a tight-rope walker, a bearded lady and a sword swallower, said Scott.
Newcomer Rory White (best known as the host of numerous music jams around Vernon and Armstrong) has stepped in at the last minute to take on the role of music director as well as a performer. “Rory is the ringmaster of the circus and is also the travelling minstrel who pops out of nowhere and accompanies singers with his guitar,� said Scott, adding audiences will be able to sing along to all the great songs. After all, this is a pantomime, and audience participation is encouraged. “The best way to enjoy it is to participate verbally in the audience,� said Scott.
“There’s lots of jokes and all sorts of funny things that happen. “These shows are real crowd pleasers and tickets go fast. They are full of laughs, music and of course, good always triumphs over evil.� Snow White runs Nov. 25 to 27 and Dec. 2 to 4 at the Centennial Theatre in Armstrong. Evening performances are at 8 p.m. with assigned seating. Saturday matinees are at 1 p.m. Advance tickets are available at The Guy Next Door on Okanagan Street in Armstrong (250-546-0950) or contact the theatre via its new e-mail at actokbc@gmail.com. 4VOTIJOF %SFBNT GPS ,JET NBLFT ESFBNT DPNF USVF GPS DIJMESFO BHFT UP XIP BSF DIBMMFOHFE CZ TFWFSF QIZTJDBM EJTBCJMJUJFT PS MJGF UISFBUFOJOH JMMOFTTFT

Arts Band supports food bank and Movember Morning Star Staff
They may have a little more facial hair than normal, but a White Rock metal band is about to prove that looks can be deceiving. Behind their rather unassuming image is a force of emotion and intensity that is not often seen in metal music today. And then there are those new mustaches that should be in full growth when the band plays Vernon’s Club 2929 on Nov. 20. Quartered is participating in the prostate cancer awareness campaign Movember, hence the appendages on their upper lips, and are also helping the local food bank with their show in Vernon. “We have been very busy this year, and are eager to play Vernon for the first time. We are also playing the night before in Kelowna, which was the first stop of our recent cross-country tour,” said Quartered’s guitarist Todd Sanft. Together since early 2000, with two previous releases and their third and latest album about to be released on Thorny Bleeder Records, Quartered have already conquered the Vancouver area as well as some unexpected corners of the world. In April, they toured The Philippines, where they played the Pulp Summer Slam 2010 in Manila, opening for metal legends Testament and Lamb of God. They also took Canada by storm in August on their first full national tour. Those wishing to support Quartered in their hairy endeavour and the Movember cause can donate by visiting the band’s page at http:// ca.movember.com/mospace/1079126. Opening for Quartered’s Head Bangin’ for the Food Bank Saturday, Nov. 20 at Club 2929 is Armstrong’s Odinfist and Kelowna’s Deadfall. Cover is either a non-perishable food item or $5, with all proceeds going to the food bank. Doors open at 9 p.m.

Joe Rogers (left), Vernon School District; Kim Nenzen, learning resource teacher, École Beairsto School; and Tom Christensen, of Nixon Wenger Law Firm, with son, Fraser, six, check out the story book families will receive through the Come Read With Me workshops. The workshops, for all parents with children in Grade 1 in the school district, are sponsored by the Nixon Wenger Law Firm.
Parents invited to ‘Come Read’ CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
The Come Read With Me workshop helps parents of children in Grade 1 understand how they can support their child’s early reading skills with fun activities at home. Families will receive a free story book, My Animal Book, created by Lynda Henney, district literacy support teacher, magnetic word cards to play with and many helpful tips to enhance learning to read. The workshop was developed by the Vernon School District and the Junction Literacy Centre with funding from the Nixon Wenger Law Firm, which has committed $10,000 per year for five years to the Junction Literacy Centre for family literacy programs in the region. Parents in all district schools will receive invitations to the workshops to take place in November. “The parents will meet for a session and then go to their child’s classroom

to do activities with the children,” said Kim Nenzen, learning resource teacher for École Beairsto School. “And for parents whose children are in French immersion, we don’t expect them to be able to speak French, but there are still many things they can do at home to help their children as they learn to read and write.”
“As a parent, you want to do everything you can to support your child’s learning...” — Tom Christensen District director of student learning Joe Rogers said he is hoping that parents will use the simple and enjoyable learning strategies at home to help children get a good start in school. “And I hope that employers will find a
way to be flexible to allow parents who are working to attend these important workshops,” he said. Tom Christensen, of Nixon Wenger Law Firm, and former Minister of Education in the provincial government, is looking forward to the workshop which he will attend with his son, Fraser, six. “We are thrilled to see these dollars being well-used to benefit students and parents in all the schools in the district,” said Christensen. “As a parent, you want to do everything you can to support your child’s learning and it’s good to have a reminder of all the things that we can do. “I know that much of a child’s development depends on what the parents are providing.” For more information, contact each school’s learning resource teacher. You Can Count On Me, a math workshop, will be offered to parents of Grade 1 students in the new year.

One of the most frequently asked questions at the Okanagan Regional Library (ORL) is “Can you recommend something good to read?” Readers’ advisory, as this service is called, helps ORL librarians to make it even easier to connect customers with new books by creating booklists targeted at children and teens. “New books are constantly being added to the children’s collection, and it can be daunting for both kids and parents to find something they will love,” said Youth Collections/ System librarian Linda Youmans. “In addition, we’ve seen changes in the types of topics young people are interested in reading, so we can adapt the booklists to what’s popular.” ORL librarians have updated and created booklists on: Books for Babies; Circle Time Favourites (for preschools and daycares); Dragon Stories for Younger Readers; Fiction for Struggling Readers; Fairy Stories for Girls; Princess Stories for Little Girls; Fractured Fairytales (fresh twists on the classics); First Nations and Aboriginal Fiction;
Teen Chick Lit. “We’re also working on booklists for Christian fiction, planes, trains, and automo-

Resentment boils over
ear Annie: My friend “Janet” booked some discounted hotel rooms through an online auction. One of them was a two-bedroom suite for two nights, which she booked with me in mind, hoping I would share it with her for an upcoming occasion. Janet doesn’t have any children at home, but I have two teenagers and a husband. When she first asked me about this, I told her it sounded like fun, but I’d have to check my calendar. Three weeks ago, I informed her that I simply couldn’t manage it. She was so Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar upset that I rescheduled some appointments in order to spend one night with her, and she said she’d stay the second with her husband. The next morning, I asked what I owed her, and she named an amount that covered half the bill for both nights. When I said it should only cost me for one night, she replied, “After I bought this, you said you would stay with me, so you should have to pay for half of the total bill.” Annie, I never asked Janet to buy this package, and I was really put out that I had to leave my responsibilities at home to accommodate her. Janet is a good friend, but I am miffed. What should I do? — Resentful

Taking the Worry Out of Home Renovations...
Dear Resentful: If you gave Janet the impression that you would stay both nights, then you need to pay her, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. You are under no obligation to pay for more than you agreed to. Resentment can also damage the friendship, so you may as well tell Janet that it is unfair for her to charge you for a room she wanted but you didn’t, and that you will pay half of what she is asking. Next time, say “no” more emphatically.
Restorative Justice meets Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is the theme for an upcoming presentation hosted by the B.C. Network for Compassionate Communication. The BCNCC is partnering with the North Okanagan Restorative Justice Program to host Connecting Through Conflict: Restorative Justice Meets Nonviolent Communication, with Eric Bowers, a CNVC certified trainer, and Margaret Clark, Restorative Justice coordinator for the City of Vernon RCMP Safe Communities Unit. “How can we make the most out of the conflicts in our homes, classrooms, workplaces and communities? From personal disagreements to criminal acts of violence, how can we work with conflict so that it changes how we see each other and leads to a deeper sense of safety, trust and connection for all involved,” asks Catherine Strickland, executive director of the BCNCC.

BIBLE BASICS
Miracle: Astronauts and space scientists in Baltimore, Maryland, some time ago, found a missing space time of 23 hrs. and 10 mins. Checking the Bible at Josh. 10:12-13 they read: “And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed...the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hastened not to go down upon a whole day.” Even the space program conÀrmed the authority of the Bible!

News HST recall campaigners in hot seat for duplicated signatures TOM FLETCHER Black Press
Seven canvassers from the petition campaign against the harmonized sales tax have been referred to the RCMP to decide if charges should be laid. Acting chief electoral officer Craig James said the analysis of the petition showed there were 2,247 multiple signers, and 38 of those signed three or more times. Elections B.C. identified 10 canvassers who “breached their duties” under the province’s Recall and Initiative Act, and seven were referred to the RCMP, James said. Warning letters were sent to the rest, reminding them that fines and jail sentences are available for those convicted of violating the act. James described one set of petitions submitted for counting that included the same page of signatures photocopied several times and submitted for counting and verification. Assistant chief electoral officer Anton Boegman said in cases submitted to the RCMP, the same people had signed the same registered canvasser’s petition multiple times. Boegman said if the same voter was signed up by the same petitioner a month apart, the canvasser might have forgotten. “But for example, if they appeared on the same petition sheet one after the other, it is fairly evident that they would know that the same individual has signed the petition more than once, and that is of course not allowed,” Boegman said. The multiple signatures were weeded out in the initial count, so the petition to extinguish the HST remains valid. Petitioners organized by former premier Bill Vander Zalm’s Fight HST organization collected more than 700,000 names, but Elections B.C. checked them against the 2009 voters’ list and declared that 557,000 were valid. The B.C. government has since opted to hold a referendum in September 2011 to determine the fate of the HST. James rejected suggestions by Fight HST
spokesman Chris Delaney that referring canvassers to the police was a political move, timed to discourage recall cam-
paigns that Delaney is now organizing against B.C. Liberal MLAs. James, clerk of committees at the B.C.
Legislature, said he has a 33-year track record of public service in B.C. and Saskatchewan, and he has carried those principles
to his current role. “Elections B.C. is non-partisan, it has been apolitical and it is not bending to any political
pressure,” James said. The anti-HST petition is the first successful initiative in B.C. history, under legislation
passed in the early 1990s. Administering the initiative petition has cost Elections B.C. nearly $1.2 million so far.

Know anything about the spaceship on the hill? “It will be rocking your world for the next 10, 20 and 50 years as it builds up,” says Daniel Muzyka, the dean of the Sauder School of Business. And for the record, Muzyka wasn’t having an awkward public, otherworldly experience. That spaceship on the hill is what he’s calling UBC Okanagan these days. Thing is, he explained, few people have an understanding of the university’s reach, both economically and socially. In the grand scheme of things it’s pretty foreign, but when its roots go deeper, the valley will be forever changed for the better. “It’s already having an impact in the houses that the faculty have bought—in all of the cars, people skiing, research supplies purchased, and the buildup in construction,” he said. As is, local university-related spending is about $100 million a year, and the spin-off could
be tallied as high as $1 billion a year. UBC as a whole is one of the biggest economic engines province-wide, Muzyka explained, pointing to a recent economic impact study. “How many other businesses in B.C. have had $10 billion in impact? he said. “I might be able to name one or two, but it’s hard. That’s a big impact.” But, all that is just the tip of the iceberg. “As it builds its research reputation, as it generates dollars and graduates—some that will even stay in the valley—it will have a huge impact,” he said. “Universities generate research that goes outbound and becomes a company or a patent.” And there’s no end to the possibilities stemming from the pending medical hospital in Kelowna. “In the end, we are part of the economic solution,” he said. “If you care about the social issues, the economy pays for them.”

Campbell determined to leave big legacy dent power production, road and bridge engineering, mineral and coal titles, resorts and alpine ski developments, fish and wildlife management, drought management, watershed restoration and aboriginal consultation on resource development. And here is a partial list of what Campbell intends to see develop through this ministry: the Site C dam, a province-wide network of new mines, forest tenures, liquefied natural gas production and export facilities, new independent power projects, and all the roads, power lines and pipes needed to connect them. This is a wave of industrialization on a scale with W.A.C. Bennett’s creation of B.C. Hydro, B.C. Ferries and B.C. Rail. An internal memo circulated to staff in the forest, transportation, environment and other ministries gives assurances that the B.C. Forest Service will celebrate its 100th anniversary as planned

Salmon Arm council supports chipping in funds to aid protection of Shuswap Lake, but the amount of funding is in question. The environment ministry’s Ian McGregor, creator of the Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process, was invited to the city’s development and planning services committee meeting to outline the history, plans and funding requirements of SLIPP. McGregor explained that three main areas of concern have been identified in the process: water quality, foreshore degradation and recreational uses. Because of funding shortfalls, plans have been downsized to focus on water quality, using a three-year pilot. It has been proposed that the CSRD pay 64 per cent of the $335,000 still needed, to be shared with the two neighbour-
ing regional districts. The question of SLIPP funding will be considered in the city’s 2011 budget deliberations.

ordon Campbell isn’t going to get close to W.A.C. Bennett’s record of 20 years in the premier’s office, but he intends to leave a footprint at least as large on B.C. Campbell’s surprise resignation last week came as I was attempting to sort out his latest reorganization of resource ministries. His comments since then have made me even more convinced that this is the key task he intends to push to the point of no return before he goes. While the city media obsess over the horse race of potential candidates to succeed Campbell, this much more significant story is unfolding quietly in government offices around the province. Thousands of provincial employees are being moved and shaken to build the new Ministry of Natural Resource Operations. Here’s a partial list of what this ministry is now legally responsible for: wildfire management, Crown land and forest permits, indepen-

decline of small communities, loss of industrial jobs and wildfire management in B.C.’s vast hinterlands. In short, how do you keep smaller, remote communities economically viable, and how do they protect themselves from fire? Here, at least, is a plan that offers a way to tackle the huge problem of accumulated forest fuel, waste from traditional logging, and jobs and energy supply in remote areas. It will be subsidized by the vast majority of electric-
ity users who enjoy the benefits of the urban economy. There will be plenty of talk in the weeks to come about Campbell’s legacy. The income tax cuts, the HST, both are designed to create an environment for private investment and employment. The resource development plan may be the most important piece of the puzzle.

The Central Okanagan Regional District is working with cities and towns as it plans how best to cope with future population growth. Projections anticipate the Central Okanagan will add some 65,000 more people over the next 15 years, bringing the area population to around 225,000 residents. David Widdis, regional growth strategy co-ordinator, noted the number is a ballpark figure, and where exactly the growth will occur is also not something that can be precisely defined. Popularity of areas and market conditions for housing are just some of the factors that determine where people choose to settle. What the regional growth strategy does examine is how to make sure the current Okanagan lifestyle can be maintained despite the addition of several thousand more human beings. This demands plan-
“On the whole, we want to grow sustainably...” — David Widdis ning around facets from agriculture to the environment. “On the whole, we want to grow sustainably, and make sure we’re preserving those environmental areas,” said Widdis. Widdis said the process is the review of the strategy which was first adopted in 2000. He said the purpose of the strategy is to promote human settlement in the region, but done in a sustainable way. Regional growth has social, economic and environmental effects. Widdis said the planning process involves getting all of the member municipalities and electoral areas to look beyond their boundaries. “A lot of their decisions do have impact regionally.” Widdis pointed out air quality, water resources, transportation and affordable
housing are also examined within the strategy. The plan does not get into land use specifics, but focuses on how to make processes from aggregate supply to transportation more efficient across the region. Specific municipalities will look at their own transportation systems or community plans within the context of wider goals. These
goals are focused on how the region can accommodate its growing population in a sustainable way. Widdis noted all the municipalities in the area are on side to make sure the region is growing in an efficient way and a good way. He added that municipalities and electoral areas just have to make sure they are coordinating across the board, and developing with the same priorities in mind. The review process is anticipated to take approximately two years. Widdis noted it may
go longer or shorter, as parts of the strategy are examined by municipalities and the public. What municipalities have done in their own community plans will figure into the regional strategy. “We want to try and ultimately stitch the entire region together using those community plans.” Individual municipalities have their own goals that they set for their areas. Widdis added that hopefully everybody will try to strive towards the same large goal of a sustainable community.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Greater possibilities for gains are indicated, if you utilize several channels that you usually don’t employ. Rather than going through your regular sources, try something new.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Shifting conditions over which you have no control can sometimes put you at a severe disadvantage. However, these unexpected changes will now benefit you instead of work against you. Enjoy!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Two unassociated individuals who have proven to be fortunate for you in the past are likely to cross your path again. The circumstances could be somewhat different, but the results will be just the same.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) All your better qualities will be in evidence, but your best assets will be your sales and promotional skills. Use them well to put yourself on top of the heap.
Fill-in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once.

Work-related enterprises could prove to be particularly beneficial financially in the next year. The projects that are likely to be some of your best producers will have something unique and special about them.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Situations that previously produced obstacles can now generate special opportunities. Breathe new vitality into your work and/or whatever it is that has always brought you status and rewards. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Although it normally isn’t too smart to mix business and pleasure, this won’t be the case for you at this juncture. Several new business opportunities could come your way through social involvements. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Even if it is a bit inconvenient, try to work on and complete something that you’ve been anxious to finish. This can be a fortunate day for you, and things might not be as good tomorrow. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Something that you’ve been working toward but haven’t been able to produce as yet could be showing signs manifesting. Stay on top of your game, success is a lot closer than you think. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Whether we like it or not, our reputations, integrity and credibility are all judged by how well we handle our finances. It behooves you to take special care to do your best. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Success is indicated in activities you take special care to manage. Don’t dilute your effectiveness by delegating some of your jobs to others who can’t do them as well as you can.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Far more opportunities than usual exist concerning your work or career. One of two unexpected breaks could even come through some contacts that have powerful affiliations. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You should do well today in activities that possess friendly elements of competition, so don’t hesitate to participate in one or two when urged to do so. You may even outshine someone who usually wins.
HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot ashes and weight gain. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment includes the use of bioidentical, plant based hormones that closely duplicate hormones your body produces. Natural hormones also slow the aging process.

Bridge by Phillip Alder Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, a Roman emperor in the second century A.D., said, “Blot out vain pomp; check impulse; quench appetite; keep reason under its own control.� Then the trumps will look after themselves. In three columns this week, declarer had to retain enough trumps to draw the missing ones after he had all of his sidesuit tricks ready to run. In this deal the trump suit is solid. The concern is safely establishing your side suit. You reach six hearts, and West leads the diamond king. What would you do? North’s four diamonds was a control-bid (cuebid) showing the diamond
ace and a good raise to four hearts. With a lloonngg diamond suit, North would have rebid ďŹ ve diamonds or three no-trump. You, with a possible twoclub opening, stood on ceremony not a moment longer. With a diamond loser, you must establish your spade suit, draw trumps, and run the spades. But the missing spades are more likely to be 4-2 than 3-3 (48.45 percent to 35.53 percent). And if the spades are breaking 4-2, you will have to ruff two spades in the dummy. Also, of course, you mustn’t suffer an overruff. This is the sequence of play: Win with dummy’s diamond ace, play a heart to your ace, cash the spade
ace and ruff a low spade in the dummy. Do not cash the spade king ďŹ rst. Then, play a trump to your hand and ruff another low spade with dummy’s heart queen. Finally, play a club to your ace, draw the last trump, and claim, conceding one diamond trick.

Anne Margaret Harrison was born in 1912 in Wilkie, SK and attended Garden Prairie School, a one room schoolhouse on the edge of her parents' farm. After finishing Grade 8, she worked as a sheep herder and housekeeper during the Great Depression. She married Robert (Bob) Eaton in 1940, lived on the Eaton Ranch then following the birth of their son, John, they moved to Entrance, Alberta where they both worked on the Athabasca Ranch. They eventually moved to Francois Lake, BC and Vanderhoof to a small farm, then to McBride where they also had a farm. In 1965, she moved to Quesnel, Westwold and finally to an acreage near Armstrong. One of Anne's proud moments was to publish a collection of her poetry and short stories, mostly about her life experiences, especially during the "Dirty Thirties".

BORN: September 14, 1927 in Humbolt, Sask. DIED: November 4, 2010 in Vernon, B.C. At age seven, Stan’s family moved to Melville, Sask., where his father worked as an CNR engineer. Stan was a force to be reckoned with — always on the go with friends, many who remained friends for life. His first jobs included selling papers at the train station and then calling crews. He was a Scout and used his knot-tying skills on many a camping trip later on. During school years, he played hockey and baseball with great enthusiasm. Track and field was not competitive enough for Stan, so he wore army boots in the high jump and he still won! During the war, he delivered telegrams to the grieving families of young men he knew. When he tried to enlist in the navy, he was disappointed to fail the eye exam. He loved Vancouver and worked at many jobs from a mattress factory, food cannery, logging, mill work, shipping on the west coast, the Great Lakes and on cargo ships to Belgium and southern U.S. While working in Prince George in 1972 for the Dept. of Transport, mutual friends introduced Stan to Pat Blanchard, a nurse instructor at the college. They married in Richmond in 1973 and with that, Stan took on the challenging role of stepfather to Pat’s children: Shelley, Stephen, Douglas, Howard and Raymond. Eventually, as the children left home and married, Stan and Pat’s family grew to include 10 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. While living in Richmond, Stan began organizing camping trips. These trips were organized in detail, as to route, rest stops, firewood and plenty of hot coffee. Careful records were kept on mileage, gas stops and price, with Pat as assistant recorder. He loved the forest camping spots in B.C., but Alberta, Ontario and the Yukon highway were also explored. Their traveling highlight was a journey across Canada, to the Maritimes. Retiring to Vernon in 1993, Stan began golfing regularly, becoming very good. Gardening, neighbourhood pool games, parties and watching sports were all part of the good life until sudden illness interfered in June 2010. With his characteristic fortitude, Stan carried on to the end, as independent and courageous as always. The family would like to express gratitude to the nurses and staff at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital with special thanks to the great nurses in the OPD and Dr. Bohta. The nurses and staff at Hospice House were also most supportive and caring. In lieu of flowers, those who wish to may make a donation in Stan’s name to Hospice House in Vernon. Following Stan’s wishes, there will be no formal funeral. An open house will be held at the family home at 15 Valley Drive, Westshore Estates, on Saturday, November 13, throughout the afternoon. A memorial tribute will be announced at a later date. Cremation arrangements are being made through Pleasant Valley Funeral Home in Vernon. Stan was many things to many people: son, brother and uncle to his much-loved extended family; loyal husband, proud stepfather, grandfather and great grandfather, a true friend and neighbour. We will all miss him, but his indomitable spirit is with us forever.

DAVIS
Donna Elizabeth Davis (nee Jack)
Born March 30, 1936. Passed away unexpectedly November 5, 2010 following a brief illness. Predeceased by Geoffrey Davis, her beloved husband of 47 years, in 2007. Donna is survived by her loving family: daughters, Jody (Brian Nuttall) and Wendy (Brian Lutz) and son, Greg; her cherished grandchildren: Gordon and Scott Nuttall, Alicia Wynia, Brianne, and Cameron Lutz; and her dear great-grandchildren, Avary and Tyce Wynia. Donna and Geoff spent their working lives in Winnipeg, The Pas and North Vancouver, retiring to Pender Island in 1990 where family and friends gathered often and great memories were made. In addition to juggling a demanding career and family, Donna devoted countless hours to a variety of volunteer activities. She loved meeting people and giving back to her community. In 2003, Geoff and Donna relocated to Vernon, close to family, due to Geoff’s failing health. Donna cared for Geoff for several years with love and grace. Donna cherished every moment of life. She was optimistic, generous, loved a good joke, and could see the silver lining in any dark cloud. She treasured people, food and a glass of fine wine and was happiest when loved ones were gathered around her table. Whether creating her Christmas poem, a beautiful quilt, or a truly memorable meal, Donna was an artist – though she would modestly deny the label. A few weeks prior to her passing, she traveled with her daughter Wendy to Tuscany, Italy with the same spirit of adventure and enthusiasm with which she lived each day. Donna’s love and friendship was a priceless gift, and she will live forever in our hearts and our memories. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, November 27th, 2010 at 1:00 P.M. in the chapel of Pleasant Valley Funeral Home with Mr. Brian Jackson officiating. A reception will follow in the Pleasant Valley Tea Room. In lieu of flowers, those friends wishing to make memorial contributions in memory of Donna may do so to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation, 2101-32nd Street, Vernon, BC V1T 5L2. Arrangements have been entrusted to: PLEASANT VALLEY FUNERAL HOME (250) 542-4333 Condolences may be offered at www.pleasantvalleyfh.com

Christiane Leigh Maygard
August 29, 1984 - November 5, 2010 On Friday morning, November 5th at Hospice House, our beautiful Christy passed into eternity. Her husband Luke was by her side. She had a quiet strength, a deep faith and a heart full of love that touched the lives of all who knew her, even for the briefest time. Christy was 26 years old. Christy is survived by so many who loved her. She will be forever remembered and missed by her husband Luke, her parents Ron and Judy Sedge, her sister Kelsey (Chris) Nudd, her sweet niece Olivia Leigh, Luke's parents Kim and Randi Maygard, her sisters-inlaw Amanda (Eli and Blake) and Stacey (Delilah), her Grandpa and Grandma Melsness of Kelowna, her Grandpa and Grandma Ruark of Armstrong, her Nana Millie of Cowichan Bay, as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Christy was born and grew up in Vernon with her sister, Kelsey. She graduated from Kalamalka Secondary in 2002 and continued her education at UBCO where she graduated with her Bachelor of Business Administration and began her accounting career with KPMG. Christy married her husband, Luke, in 2007 and they settled in Salmon Arm. They shared a deep sense of love for their faith, their families and their friends and Luke's love for Christy only grew stronger through her illness. They say there is a connection between Math and Music and maybe that's true because Christy excelled at both. She loved playing the piano and had a beautiful voice. Her specialty was harmony and many people whom she had sung with said that 'she made them sound good', inconspicuously, in the background, her talent allowed them to shine. Christy's skill in math likely mirrored that of a musician. Whether it was notes or numbers, Christy had the ability to see the big picture and knew how to get there. In December 2009 Christy passed her accounting exam on the first try and in May 2010 earned her C.A. designation. We are grateful for every day we had with Christy and are especially grateful to the Hospice House family who treated her with compassion and dignity and dedicated themselves to making her comfort their first concern. A Celebration of Christy's Life will be held at the Vernon Alliance Church (2601 43 Avenue, Vernon BC) at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday November 13, 2010. In lieu of flowers, friends may wish to make a donation to the North Okanagan Hospice Society (3506 27 Avenue, Vernon, BC V1T 1S4) or to School District #22 Vernon (1401 15 Street, Vernon, BC V1T 8S8) where a memorial Bursary is being established in Christy's name.
