Blaze forces man to abandon home RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A Vernon man was able to escape after attempting to extinguish a blaze in his family home. Fire broke out in the 1200 block of 42nd Avenue mid-morning Tuesday. “My son smelled something burning and he saw smoke coming out of a bedroom,” said Mark Judd, who lives in the house with his wife and two sons — 19 and 14. “He went into the ensuite and there was more smoke.” The 19-year-old initially tried to put the fire out himself with an extinguisher, but when the flames and smoke continued to grow, he grabbed the family’s two cats and fled. Firefighters were soon on scene. “There was smoke coming out of the house when we arrived,” said Lawrie Skolrood, deputy fire chief. Firefighters had to use axes and chainsaws to chop through the roof to gain access to the fire. It’s believed much of the dense smoke resulted from items in the bedroom. “When mattresses burn, you get heavy smoke,” said Skolrood. A major challenge for the firefighters was the bitterly cold weather, which dropped to about

Members of the Vernon Fire Department cut through the roof to gain access to a house fire in the 1200 block of 42nd Avenue Tuesday morning. minus 13 Tuesday morning. “Everything freezes up if you don’t keep them running — pumps, trucks,” said Skolrood. “There’s snow on the roof so there’s also a slip hazard. The firefighters put themselves at risk.”
As of press time, the cause of the fire had not been determined by investigators. “Once it was knocked down, we go through the process and see what we can come up with,” said Skolrood.
One firefighter was sent to Vernon Jubilee Hospital after sustaining injuries from electrical shock. “He was released and sent home to recover,” said Skolrood. “He will be monitored. He’s a
little shaken.” Judd is trying to take the fire and the subsequent damage in stride. “I’m fully insured which is good news but the big news is everyone is alive,” he said.
Pedestrian safety on highway drives council demand RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The prospect of a fatality is driving demands for increased safety on Vernon’s Hospital Hill. City council is asking the Ministry of Transportation to look at the number of pedestrians illegally crossing 32nd Street — past Polson Park and Vernon Jubilee Hospital — and to determine what options can be taken to improve conditions. “It will be a serious event if a jaywalker is hit and there’s trauma for the person that hits them,” said
“It will be a serious event if a jaywalker is hit.” — Shawn Lee Coun. Shawn Lee. “It’s rare the day that I don’t have to avoid someone dashing out on to the highway.” The ministry, which is responsible for the highway, has been reluctant in the past to install a
crosswalk or lights at 21st Avenue, which is the entrance to VJH. If a large truck stops for a pedestrian on the hill in the winter, they may have difficulties moving again. “The only alternative is an over-
head pedestrian pass,” said Rob Dickinson, the city’s engineering manager. “It cost $2 million to do an overpass in Kelowna which is a significant cost.” Coun. Bob Spiers isn’t convinced that’s the way to go. “You can put a bridge in but people will still cross the highway,” he said. Coun. Jack Gilroy, though, believes a pedestrian overpass should be considered despite the cost. “Two million may sound like a
lot of money but ICBC will spend a lot more if someone is hit,” he said. “We need to send a strong message to the ministry saying there are risks involved for our people.” Another option could be a fence on the concrete median to prevent pedestrian crossings, but keeping the left-turn lane at 21st Avenue open for traffic accessing the hospital could make that concept ineffective. “People could go around the fence and run across. The fence won’t stop them,” said Dickinson.

Dream Auction raises $157,000
BUICK
TAKE OVER PAYMENT OVER 250 QUALITY VEHICLE RETURNS TO CHOOSE FROM
Morning Star Staff
Dreams came true for charities during one of Vernon’s social events of the year. The sold-out Kalamalka Rotary Dream Auction raised more than $157,000 Saturday at the Best Western Vernon Lodge. That is up from $143,000 in 2009. “It was a huge success,” said Peter O’Callaghan, club president. “Everyone in the club is delighted we’ll have such a large pool of funds to direct into community and international projects.” The maternal-child department in the new Vernon Jubilee Hospital patient care tower is this year’s major benefactor with an upcoming donation of $50,000. That will complete the club’s total pledge of $150,000. The remainder of the funds will go to charitable organizations locally and internationally. Dream Auction funds will be available beginning in January and local groups are reminded to visit www.clubrunner.ca/Kalamalka for details and an online application form. “There are two groups of people to thank for this success, the donors whose generosity provided such a wide variety of items for the auction and the supporters who attend each year and bid on those items,” said O’Callaghan. “Dozens of items actually sold for more than their stated value.” The Kalamalka Rotary Club’s 90 members seek donations each year for the Dream Auction. “I would be remiss if I didn’t recognize the chair of this year’s auction, Brent Barker and his excellent team,” said O’Callaghan.

Impaired incidents down ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
New legislation. Christmas season. The economy. Those are, perhaps, a few of the Vernon RCMP’s favourite things in explaining the rapidly decreasing number of impaired drivers they are having to deal with. For the third week in a row, Vernon RCMP report no impaired driving arrests. “It’s probably a combination of all of the above,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “For whatever reasons, we have not had any impaireds.

Notify police of old weapons ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
If you have old firearms that you want police to take care of, call them first. Don’t just bring them into the nearest detachment. “Call us and one of our officers will make an arrangement to go pick up the firearms,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. It was reported in The Morning Star last week that relatives of a recently deceased Lumby resident had discovered six firearms among their relative’s belongings, including a Second World War Tommy gun. Police had stated in the story that old, unwanted firearms should be brought in for destruction. But Molendyk wanted to add some clarity to the statement. “First we get a little nervous at the detachment when someone walks in unannounced
carrying firearms,” he said. “In some cases, permits are required to carry them in a vehicle, for example a revolver or pistol that is a restricted weapon has some conditions on it for transporting. You can’t just throw it in your vehicle.
“A lot of people don’t have the proper documentation. So if you fire a firearm that you want destroyed, call us first and we’ll come meet you so our heart rates don’t jump when people come in carrying firearms,” said Molendyk.

he deed has been done. Coldstream residents have been officially put on notice. Voters will be asked next November to borrow $1 million for new public works facilities. But if elector assent goes down in flames, that doesn’t mean the project is dead. “We have to be totally honest,” said Coun. Pat Cochrane. “If the referendum is turned down, it doesn’t change the need for the project but it may change how it is funded.” This warning is a result of the fiasco that faced a former council some years ago. Richard Rolke In 2001, plans to borrow $1.5 million for a new municipal office were shot down at the polls. Claiming the referendum only dealt with financing and was not a vote on the need for the office itself, councilof-the-day threw together other funding alternatives and a $1 million project proceeded. Anger ensued as many residents saw the politicians’ actions as an end-run around democracy. Council stood its ground, but the bitterness among some voters continues to this day. That’s why the comments from Cochrane are critical, and it’s a mantra district officials will have to keep repeating until next November. Voting down borrowing does not necessarily mean the public works proposal will be abandoned. It just means that financing may have to occur through short-term debt (which doesn’t need voter assent), taxes and reserves. However, charting a different course could

create similar repercussions for the current council, and particularly one individual. “I personally feel this is an affront to democracy,” said Gyula Kiss, a current councillor, when he slammed the 2002 council. “Having asked the taxpayers their wishes, you should abide by their decision.” If the present mayor and council opt to proceed with upgrades after a negative referendum, will Kiss remain consistent with the stand he took eight years ago? If he decides to go with the rest of his colleagues, voters may question what has changed between 2002 and now. But while it will be interesting to see how the public reacts to possibly borrowing $1 million, and any subsequent council actions, at least appropriate measures for consultation are being followed. Besides the straight-forward, tried-and-true referendum, council could have sought elector support through the alternate approval process. Through that method, a minimum of 10 per cent of voters would have to sign a petition for borrowing to be stopped. It’s not a process most residents are familiar with and they have to know that they can go into the municipal office to sign the petition. Other jurisdictions have used the alternate approval petition to try and slide pet projects through, and Coldstream could have gone that route. But a referendum is more transparent and the right way to go. However, some Coldstream residents may question council’s dedication to democracy if history repeats itself and another public building ultimately goes ahead without residents being on board.
It’s a tough time to be a politician in British Columbia, no matter which side of the Legislature you sit on. While the governing (sort of) Liberals try to pull off the impossible act of both distancing themselves from the unpopular and departing Gordon Campbell while resisting the temptation to kick him out the door before February and a leadership convention, the NDP is having its own internal problems. “At a time when we should be united (against the Liberals in disarray), we’re fighting amongst ourselves,” said Opposition leader Carole James after fighting off a leadership challenge on the weekend. That quote alone seems to point to a leadership problem. However, she still has at least a dirty dozen of MLAs who refuse to openly support her and apparently are doing a slow burn over how she handled the firing of Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson. Meanwhile the Liberals have their own firing scandal to deal with in the departure of cabinet minister Bill Bennett from caucus for daring to suggest it might be better if Campbell left sooner rather than later. So as the two parties fight amongst themselves and the electorate looks on with either amusement or contempt (or maybe a bit of both), one has to wonder who is running the show in Victoria? Then again with these two parties to choose from maybe the answer to that question is one we can all live with and is the best of three options. And that’s because if neither of these two parties get their act together soon, then ‘none of the above’ is the obvious and wisest choice of all come election time. Stay tuned.

Liberal record questioned
I
t does not surprise me both Mr. Abbott and Mr. Foster feel secure that the Liberals will be back in power following the next election. After all, British Columbians have notoriously short political memories and after four years we will have forgotten the issues that have caused the support for the Liberals dip in the polls. However, some issues need to be revisited. Some time ago Mr. Foster was asked if he was in favour of raising the minimum wage. He reported that the minimum wage was fair and that the average salary of British Columbians was $80,000 per year. I found this rationale short-sighted and flawed. Currently, B.C. has the dubious title of the highest rate of child poverty in Canada – 21 per cent of all children in B.C. live below the poverty line.
This inequality has increased under Mr. Campbell’s watch. B.C. has the highest proportion of working poor families in Canada. A living wage is defined by the hourly rate in which a family can meet its basic needs. For our area, it stands at $16.74. Add to this the fact that 49 per cent of immigrant children and 40 per cent of aboriginal children live in poverty. Therefore, we must question the validity of the
GRATEFUL GLEANERS Due to the tremendous response from our community, the Gleaners used furniture and appliance store has surpassed all expectations. The store opened Tuesday, Oct. 12 and we have had non-stop phone calls from the public wishing to donate and willing to volunteer. We are overwhelmed by the response. We are now able to be open Tuesday through Saturday from 9 to 5. Our 3,000 square foot building is filling up rapidly. We have received from generous donors a great selection of washers, dryers, fridges, stoves and lots of good furniture. We even have a free section for those in need. The store is located at 1540 Kal Lake Road just before Kal Tire. You can contact us at 250-309-8854. We thank The Morning Star for their coverage and making the public aware of the Gleaners' cause. We are grateful to Kal Tire for donating the use of their building. With the funds raised from the sales of the used furniture and appliances, the Gleaners plant in Lavington can operate and produce the dried soup mix that will feed thousands of hungry children. This has truly become a community effort and we stand in awe of the things that happen when a community works together. Thank you Vernon, Lumby, Armstrong and area communities!

LEST WE FORGET On Oct. 22, 2010, WikiLeaks tore away the carefully constructed curtain of deception about the Iraq War by releasing classified military documents. The vivid details of war, depicting the inevitable suspension of human decency, are obviously disturbing. Should WikiLeaks be allowed to throw the blood and guts of war in our faces? Many of us would probably prefer not to know the gruesome details. Perhaps Jack Nicholson’s character, Colonel Jessup, in the movie A Few Good Men, was speaking unwittingly for our own government and military leaders when he said in his self-righteous outburst, “You can’t handle the truth!” I believe we must be willing to confront the truth and even demand to be informed about the ongoing cruelty and perversion of war, lest we forget. War should always be the last option and our politicians should know how we feel about the issue. Mankind’s technology has been racing forward at an astounding rate, but our humanity has barely cleared the starting gate. If we do not pause and thoughtfully wait, will hate seal our ultimate fate? Lloyd Atkins EQUINE CENTRE I am following with interest the on-going debate on whether or not the Vernon and district communities will support a new equine centre/race track The most recent article spoke of the amount of

$80,000 per year average. In 2003, Mr. Campbell’s government passed legislation giving B.C. the youngest work-start age in North America. Children, under the age of 15, can work 20 hours a week with a note from parents or a guardian. No occupations are prohibited for child labourers. Their starting wage is $6 per hour. B.C. also holds the record for the lowest minimum wage in Canada. However, the $8 per hour

rate can only be enjoyed once the worker has reached 500 hours at the $6 starting wage. There is no legislation to protect an employee from being "let go" when they are close to the 500-hour mark. The cycle of poverty is vicious. The notion that one can pull oneself up by their bootstraps is antiquated and foolish. Perhaps Mr. Foster should revisit the closures of mills and plants in our area, the shrinking affordable housing market and the limited access to affordable childcare and social assistance. In light of the Liberal’s shameful treatment of the working poor I can only feel anger when I read, “He (Campbell) brought B.C. from one of the worst economies in Canada to one of the best.” Really Mr. Foster? On who’s back was this achieved and at what cost? Brent Applegath
acreage possibly needed which could be as large as 100 acres. I am struck with how so many different agricultural/horse related non-profit groups have the same idea. I am thinking of the need for a permanent home for NOTRA, the need for a community-based farm for those with disabilities and then, of course the race track, etc. All of these organizations and fledgling groups are chasing dwindling dollars My strong suggestion is that a stakes holder meeting be called for any associations that want to get on board so they can combine their needs list and expertise. One hundred acres is a substantial amount of land, if it came to be and was handled correctly, there is no reason why it could not be eventually self sustainable. I am familiar with a similar agricultural society in Alberta that now hosts horse shows, clinics and many other activities, along with many community user groups. It is now making money and is able to afford a small staff. Holly Baxter FOR THE RECORD A letter to the editor in last Sunday's Morning Star entitled Tax Talk by Will Rogers contained a line that should have read "If you bought a used vehicle, boat or RV privately, there was no GST, only seven per cent PST."

Replacement VSS facility on track KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff
After seven years of planning, the new Vernon secondary school has moved closer to a completion date. The Vernon School District has awarded the contract to build the school to Yellowridge Construction Ltd. of Port Moody. “They are noted in the province for building many successful school projects,” said district superintendent Bev Rundell. “School district officials in locations where Yellowridge has been their general contractor have expressed their gratitude and appreciation for the way Yellowridge undertakes and concludes
their projects.” The VSS replacement building is planned for completion and occupancy of students and staff for the 2012/13 school year. The new school is designed for 950 students as a fully comprehensive secondary school. The new school has been designed to achieve LEED Gold standards such as geothermal heating and cooling; maximization of natural lighting; energy efficiency maximization for electrical, natural gas and water usage; maximization of “green” approaches to the construction, products, and operational needs of the school. As well, the new school is designed to

“The funding is all in place and we are so happy,” she said. “It’s been frustrating for students not having a playing field, but now we’re ready to get to work. “The clay has been dug up, the base work has begun, and the project manager said they will start working on the infrastructure for pipes and wiring and start pouring concrete.” Board chairman Bill Turanski expressed trustees’ appreciation to all of the people involved in bringing the project to this point. “To get this project to its present stage has taken considerable time, effort and expertise by our staff and the consultants involved in this
undertaking,” he said. “The trustees look forward with much anticipation to the next phase and to the eventual completion and occupancy of this state-of-the-art educational facility.”

minimize both the long and short-term maintenance costs through the use of durable construction materials and easily maintained systems. The project began in 2003 with a submission for capital funding and a resulting approval in principle from the Minister of Education in June 2004. Since then, the district, MQN Architects and the Ministry of Education have undertaken the due diligence, design, funding and planning that allows for the district to begin the building work. Rundell, who is a former vice-principal at the school, shares the students’ and teachers’ enthusiasm for the project.

News Councillors target parks resolution RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Some Vernon officials insist the conflict over parks and recreation must be resolved. A recent gathering of the city, Coldstream and the two electoral area directors highlighted differences over possible restructuring, but Coun. Jack Gilroy says there is a need to keep the process moving along. “I don’t know why we can’t work with Coldstream because I think they want to work with us, and Mike Gavinchuk from Area B wants to work with us,” said Gilroy during Mary-Jo O’Keefe Monday’s council meeting. “Let’s get the process back on track and give Coldstream the parks they want (to maintain).” That view is supported by Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe. “There are lots of areas we had agreement on,” she said. “The parks service has worked well and people want us to succeed so we can make this service work.” Coun. Shawn Lee says he has concerns about some of the comments Coldstream and regional district politicians have directed towards the city. “When individuals say we did an about-face on our position, I wonder how that came to be,” he said. “It seems like we (council) were unified and had one voice.” A concern raised by Coldstream and the electoral areas at the recent meeting was the possibility that Vernon may get an additional vote once new census figures come in. They want
assurances that the voting formula will remain balanced. “Throughout the process, governance wasn’t a big deal. Governance came out of left field,” said Mayor Wayne Lippert. It’s been suggested that if Vernon receives an extra vote, Coldstream may get an additional vote. “Why should Coldstream get an extra vote and it not go to the electoral areas?” said Lippert. “They seem to be saying that it has to be good for them and they’re not worried about anyone else.” Coldstream has also suggested that it could withdraw from the function if it is not satisfied with the terms of restructuring. “That’s something Coldstream had never mentioned before in the talks,” said Lippert.

Residents earn sewer refund RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Sewer customers in Coldstream will be getting a partial rebate. Council voted Monday to return a portion of a $118,000 credit from the City of Vernon to sewer users on their 2010 fourth-quarter bill. “Half will be returned to reserves and half will be credited to customers,” said Mayor Jim Garlick. As a result of a $275,000 shortfall from the liquid waste management plan, the biosolids plant and unexpectedly higher sewer costs from Vernon, the district raised rates and tapped into reserves in September. However, there was an apparent error in billing so the city has returned $118,000 to Coldstream. Of that amount, $50,000 will go into the sewer reserve fund and $50,000 will go to the 2,100 sewer users. The remaining $18,000 will go towards the purchase of a back-up flow meter at the Alpine Centre.
North Okanagan boarding the bus RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
It’s not just Vernon residents hopping the bus to the University of B.C.’s Okanagan campus. A recent survey by B.C. Transit indicates that 49 per cent of the riders using the service to Kelowna are from Vernon but the remainder are from the rest of the North Okanagan. “Transit is something people are using and not just in Vernon,” said Mayor Wayne Lippert. As a result of the survey, the city will once again approach the other local jurisdictions and see if they will fund the second bus running to UBCO. In the past, the other communities have stated they will not provide financial assistance because they didn’t believe their residents benefitted from the service. “Given the numbers, we’ll ask them all to participate,” said Lippert. “It’s a service their constituents are using.” To support its case, Vernon wants to look at the statistics further and determine specifically which communities the ridership is coming from, including Coldstream. The second bus was added in the summer because the first bus going to Kelowna — which is funded by all of the regional district — was full. Lippert believes the
second bus is already at capacity. “The demand is there and we’re getting vehicles off the road,” he said. Beyond UBC, Lippert points out that there are other demands for transit in the region. “We’re getting requests from Okanagan College to expand the service,” he said.
The overall increase had translated to an extra $33 per quarter for the average home, and while Coun. Maria Besso originally suggested most of it be returned to customers, she is satisfied with council’s actions. “The fact that our sewer reserves are dangerously depleted needed to be addressed,” she said. “We don’t want to put the community in a dangerous situation where there is a main break and we don’t have the money to repair it.” While some residents have complained about sewer rates, Coun. Gyula Kiss insists that not all of the $118,000 could be turned over to them. “Half of the money was taken from reserves and half came from the people,” he said, adding that there is a need to put money aside for future projects. “This council won’t use the money for purposes other than it’s intended for.” And despite the current low levels in reserves, Kiss believes it was important to rebate customers some of the funds. “We took it from them,” he said.

Friday’s first major snowfall kept local RCMP officers busy. Police attended 11 accidents in the North Okanagan. “Most of them were minor accidents,� said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The most serious accident happened in Vernon shortly before 11 a.m. when five vehicles, including a city transit bus, were involved in an accident near the army camp on Highway 97. Two people were taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital with non-lifethreatening injuries from that accident. One driver in Armstrong got into a little bit of trouble when they tried to pass a snowplow and their vehicle ended up getting hooked up on the plow. “We would like to remind all motorists

Symphony scores funds RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The Okanagan Symphony Orchestra has hit the right note with Coldstream. Council decided Monday to provide a $2,000 grant to the symphony in 2011. “It’s a very worthwhile organization,” said Coun. Pat Cochrane. “They have had unusual funding problems and it’s well worth supporting.” OSO is seeking funding from communities valley-wide after $147,000 in provincial funds were lost last year. A further reduction of $60,000 in gaming revenue is anticipated for 2010/11. The $2,000 is on top of Bill Firman the $947 Coldstream provides through the North Okanagan Regional District. NORD’s total contribution to OSO is $6,043. Coun. Bill Firman didn’t have any concerns about raising his hand for the $2,000 grant. “Vernon has supported it and I believe we have a symphony crowd in Coldstream,” he said, adding that there are benefits to residents and particularly children. “I do support music in the community. It’s important for families.” Cochrane admits there may be some taxpayers who don’t see a value to the symphony. “I expect every expenditure has people that question it but the symphony is a special organization,” he said. Coun. Maria Besso excused herself from the discussion because she is involved with the OSO, and Coun. Richard Enns was absent Monday. In other financial matters, council has approved financial assistance to a number of organizations. A $1,100 grant will be provided to the Lavington Community Association, while $600 will go to the Friends of Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park Society and Vernon Winter Carnival will receive $500. Council has also decided to give $1,000 to the Jean Minguy Memorial RCMP Youth Academy in 2011.

Crime program starts Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Citizens on Patrol starts its Lock Out Auto Crime program this week. In conjunction with ICBC and the North Okanagan RCMP, this program is designed to raise awareness and reduce crime through education. The Citizens on Patrol volunteers will be checking vehicles in parking lots throughout Vernon and completing a Crime Prevention Notice identifying key areas where drivers can improve or eliminate the opportunity for a crime to take place. The Citizens on Patrol can be identified by their bright yellow jackets with
“RCMP Volunteer” on the back and should you meet a pair please feel free to ask about the program.

Years of struggling with the disease with little support, members of Vernon’s Multiple Sclerosis Society are sending a message of change to the government. With more than 300 letters for health care change in hand, the local MS Society will be at OkanaganShuswap MP Colin Mayes’ office Friday at noon. Anyone interested in joining the group is encouraged to come and be heard. Supporters spent the summer collecting signatures and letters of support, most of which are from the North Okanagan, calling for a change in the government’s stance on treatment for MS – specifically the potentially life-changing liberation treatment. “It’s to get the government to rethink their stance on the liberation treatment,” said Lisa Kongsdorf, Vernon MS Society board member. “Get on with it, start moving it faster than you are. “This is about lives.” Kongsdorf was officially diagnosed with MS five years ago, but recalls many of the symptoms as early as age 15. “MS is a really horrible, horrible disease,” said Kongsdorf, who is forced to go overseas to get treatment for her disease since it is not available in Canada. “I want to feel like I’m being supported as a Canadian citizen.” She hopes Mayes will take their message to Ottawa in a push for change. “He (Mayes) can see first-hand how many of his constituents are wanting this.”

Canadian Tire, Canada’s largest hockey retailer, and the National Hockey League today announced that Canadian Tire has signed a partnership agreement with the NHLÂŽ to become the League’s OfďŹ cial Sporting Goods Retailer of the NHL in Canada. The agreement includes a hat trick of exciting announcements: a ďŹ ve-year NHL partnership, the launch of the NHL-powered Canadian Tire Hockey School (CTHS) and the naming of Stanley Cup winner and Olympic Gold Medalist Jonathan Toews as CTHS founding member and ofďŹ cial spokesperson. “As Canada’s largest retailer of sporting equipment and a brand steeped in Canadian history, Canadian Tire is who Canadians trust for their ďŹ rst pair of skates, stick, helmet and pads. Over the past 90 years, we’ve equipped millions of ďŹ rst-time hockey players, like Jonathan Toews, from head to toe,â€? said Mike Arnett, President of Canadian Tire Retail. Further developing a grassroots connection in Canadian communities, Canadian Tire will launch the Canadian Tire Hockey School NHL Skills Camps. These unique camps will provide Canadian minor hockey players the opportunity to develop and grow their skills through on and off ice skill development sessions led by experienced NHL hockey experts, with appearances by NHL alumni and coaches. In addition to becoming an OfďŹ cial NHL Partner in Canada, Canadian Tire will now be designated as an OfďŹ cial Partner of the NHL Heritage Classic™, NHL All-Star Game, Stanley CupÂŽ Playoffs, Stanley Cup Final and NHL Face-Off™. “Expanding our reach into new categories like this will continue to increase the NHL’s ability to reach and unite Canadian hockey fans.â€? Selling more hockey sticks and pucks than any other retailer in the world, Canadian Tire has been the inspiration for millions of hockey ďŹ rsts for players from coast to coast. The CTHS website will offer unparalleled content for Canadian hockey players, parents, coaches and fans. From how to play on a backyard rink or advance in a local house league, to knowing how hockey gear ďŹ ts and what it costs, CTHS will offer unique subject matter expertise and practical insights into how to mentor, parent and become a well-rounded player. CTHS members also will receive exclusive NHL-related offers and promotions, including a chance to win a trip with two tickets and VIP treatment to the NHL All-Star Game, the NHL Heritage Classic™ and a Stanley Cup Final game.

The Fill the Roof for Art event raised more than $4,000 for the Vernon Public Art Gallery.
Rooftop fundraiser hits new heights Morning Star Staff
Heading up to the roof paid off for the Vernon Public Art Gallery. The gallery recently wrapped up its Fill the Roof for Art fundraising campaign. “Local philanthropists demonstrated their generosity by donating in excess of $4,000 to the gallery,” said Dauna Grant, executive director. As part of the event, all individuals and businesses that donated were called back to have a group photo taken on top of the parkade above the gallery. While the gallery receives various government grants, public support is needed to ensure ongoing programming to the community. “The programs include art education, handson art activities and exhibition opportunities to students from the Vernon School District,” said
“Local philanthropists demonstrated their generosity by donating in excess of $4,000.” — Dauna Grant Grant. “There are also community-based exhibitions which provide exposure to local artists and artisans. Maintaining the professional standards required in exhibition planning, development, and hosting which enables us to access quality exhibitions for North Okanagan residents are also some of the ongoing services VPAG provides.”
Funding to help open shelter spaces Morning Star Staff
Up to 20 additional shelter spaces are available in Vernon when extreme weather alerts are activated this winter. “These extra spaces are available primarily through the efforts of community groups and dedicated people who care deeply about their communities,” said Housing Minister Rich Coleman. “The province provides the funding to have these spaces available when our weather is at its worst. Community volunteers ensure homeless people have a warm, safe place to stay.” When an alert is issued for Vernon, space can be made available at the Gateway shelter at 2800 33rd St. Communities decide what conditions warrant an extreme weather alert, when to activate a location and how many spaces to make available on a given night, depend-
ing on the capacity of existing shelters and
the estimated need. Vernon has 49 year-
round shelter beds in the community.

Rural school vital to community KATHERINE MORTIMER
KATHERINE MORTIMER/ MORNING STAR
Morning Star Staff
Cherryville elementary school holds a special place in the hearts of former students of the rural school, home to 54 students. And they came out to share their enthusiasm recently, as the Vernon School District held its regular board meeting in the school gym. Amber Dyck attended the school from kindergarten to Grade 7 and has one child attending the school, with another set to attend kindergarten next year. Now a registered massage therapist, Dyck has fond memories of her time at the school. “Our school is truly the hub of our community,” she said. “Our spectacular school is supported by our spectacular community. “ She said the school’s parent advisory council has been instrumental in supporting children’s learning, including fundraising to purchase FM sound systems for the classrooms, the new playgound, and smaller but equally important projects. “I can look around this meeting and see other parents and grandparents who attended Cherryville elementary,” said Dyck, who is an active member of the school’s PAC. “Students learn a great work ethic. Back then and now you are always welcome. Your child is known by everyone in the school. No one slips through the cracks, and chil-

I would like to convey the board’s admiration to you and your staff for the enthusiasm you bring to the school. “And your PAC is a vital source of support to the school, this PAC has a reputation for being particularly resourceful.” A Cherryville resident for 30 years, John Guild is also a district bus driver and is responsible for the transportation of the community’s students from kindergarten to Grade 12. “I have a personal concern for each and every student,” he said. “I feel the learning environment here is simply the best, it’s a place where every

student, staff member and parent is known by name.” Guild said the school has seen seven of its former students go on to earn Governor General’s awards, others are PhD candidates, with others earning master’s degrees in a variety of careers, including nursing, welding, environmental science. “And the list goes on. The school provides a concrete basis for developing good citizens, kids who care about the environment and the members of all who share this planet.” In explaining the pride Cherryville residents take in their community, Guild points to the new ice rink. Since its construction, there has not been a single incident of damage or graffiti. “Instead, the youth in our community have a sense of ownership
and pride. The school and community are deeply integrated and the school and community support each other.” Guild’s three daughters attended the school, and while all have left the community to pursue careers elsewhere, he said all would love the opportunity to send their own children to the school. “When I asked one of my daughters about her time at the school, she said, ‘How does one separate the value of growing up in Cherryville with attending Cherryville school?’” Clint Whitecotton is a 1966 graduate of the school, who also attended schools in Lumby and Vernon. “None had the same feeling as Cherryville, the quality of teachers who have served here over the years is just fantastic,” he said.

Residents pack board meeting KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff
There were few empty seats as Cherryville residents came out to show their support for their local school. The Vernon School District held its regular board meeting in the small community Tuesday, and it was a chance for trustees and administrators to hear from parents, former students and principal Mary Takasaka about what makes Cherryville elementary school so special. As the centre of a diverse rural community, the school’s mission is to develop educated, versatile and responsible citizens, by providing positive learning experiences through the combined efforts of students, parents and staff. “We want to develop educated citizens on a daily basis, we want to strengthen students’ capacity to serve,� said Takasaka of the school that is home to 54 students from kindergarten to Grade 6. “We take action to promote health and well-being and one way we do that is by skipping with students because if you’re physically active, it helps your mental health, so we actively promote that growth and teach that if they put in the effort, they can become a better person. “We look for opportunities and experiences which will foster leadership skills in our students.� Takasaka explained that at Cherryville, lead-

Takasaka said the school also stresses the importance of supporting teachers, which includes staff collaborative time after school. “Educators are leaving the profession, which is one of the most rewarding and most frustrating professions. All educators need to be connected to other educators,� she said.

“You’ve got to have peers and partners that you can team up with. So we share ideas and expand our repertoire.� And in addition to reading, writing and arithmetic, the school stresses the importance of “health literacy,� which includes daily physical activity and a balanced diet. “We help students see a correlation between all these factors, so they make appropriate health decisions,� she said. “And we welcome parents, family, community members to share their skills and enthusiasm, or their joy — joy is absolutely

This is very much a small community that works hand in hand with us.�

It’s starting to sound a lot like Christmas Terry Logan takes the baton to lead Aura Chamber Choir in its festive concert KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Bells are about to ring, while voices will be raised on high to sing Hallelujah! at the annual Christmas concert by the Aura Chamber Choir. And those attending An Aura Christmas may notice a change at the helm. Longtime Aura member Terry Logan has taken over the baton from the 31-year-old choir’s esteemed leader Imant Raminsh, to conduct the concerts next weekend at All Saints Anglican Church in Vernon. Logan, who sang with the choir through the ‘90s and recently re-joined the group, can normally be found at her Armstrong vocal studio instructing students from all over the valley, as well as her award-winning youth ensemble, Chantant. “Imant mentioned that he wanted to take a small sabbatical, and asked if anyone would be interested in leading the choir in the interim. When he asked me, I didn’t have to think about it long,” said Logan. “My father was a conductor and I’ve always been interested in choral music... I’ve been in choir practice since I was born.” Logan is especially excited to be sharing some varied repertoire with Aura members and the audience. “I believe we have a part traditional, but audience-friendly program with many of the songs being sung in English,” she said. One piece, in particular, How Beautiful this Finely Woven Earth, was written in the aftermath of 9/11 by Canadian poet Gaïa Willis-Owen and arranged by American jazz composer Greg Jasperse. “The words are so moving and poignant,” said Logan. Another Canadian’s work will also be performed. Dryad’s Bells by Stephen Chatman, head of composition in the school of music at the

The Aura Chamber Choir is led by longtime member Terry Logan (front, centre) for An Aura Christmas at All Saints Anglican Church in Vernon Saturday and Sunday. University of British Columbia, will have the vocalists emulating the sounds of bells, literally. “They sing, ‘ding, ding, ding, dong’, but it’s very challenging. They really have to work on their vocal technique,” said Logan. Madrigals will also be performed, including William Byrd’s Ave Verum Corpus, considered by many to be the composer’s finest composition, and Hallelujah Amen by Italian composer Pergolesi. Two carols of modern English composer John Rutter will be sung by the whole choir,
and a third carol by the women. And it just wouldn’t be the holidays without the Hallelujah Chorus and other selections from the Christmas section of Handel’s Messiah. Featured soloists include Krista Blackmore and three of Logan’s senior vocal students, Hannah Gomme, Jenae Van Gameren and Thea Waldron, who among them have dozens of local and provincial vocal and choral awards. In addition, two flutes, a cello and bass will make up the quartet for the Pastoral Symphony.
Accompanist Marjorie Close will perform throughout the concerts on piano and organ. Aura and Chantant will also perform at the 58th annual Rotary Carol Festival coming up the first weekend of December at the Performing Arts Centre. (See story below.) An Aura Christmas takes place Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. at All Saints Anglican Church. A reception will follow the concerts. Tickets are $15 for adults (with students and children free) at the Ticket Seller box office, 549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca, from choir members, or at the door.
Rotary Carol Festival welcomes community to celebrate season Morning Star Staff
A long standing and popular pre-Christmas tradition in Vernon since 1950, the annual Rotary Christmas Carol Festival returns to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre the first weekend of December. “The purpose of the carol festival is to enable the Rotary Club of Vernon to provide a venue for the many talented singers in the North Okanagan and to provide financial support for the annual Spring Breakout for Seniors held every
March,” said Rotary publicist Otto Rieve. The breakout is a free dinner and dance with entertainment and live music organized for more than 500 local seniors and
is very popular in the Vernon community, he added. “Through the support of generous local sponsors and volunteers from the Rotary Club of Vernon, the
club is able to give most of the carol festival proceeds to the Breakout for Seniors.” Three concerts of seasonal songs and Christmas carols are to be performed this

Symphony reaches ‘Dizzy’ heights
S
unday’s symphony jazz concert featured Vancouver trumpeter and bandleader Mike Herriott. He’s shared the stage with some of the world’s finest artists, and was recently seen as lead trumpet at this year’s Winter Olympic opening and closing ceremonies. The stage was set very differently, for Herriott provided his own rhythm section. The pianist (Ron Johnston, using the in-house Steinway grand) was upstage of the podium, the bassist Ken Lister stood in front of the (seated) orchestra bass players, the drummer (Craig Scott) was where the cellos would be, and the first violins ended up behind the piano. After opening the concert with a short Handel piece (Herriott used a piccolo trumpet), the orchestra launched into the first jazz medley, Tribute to Doc Severinsen (orchestral arrangement by Herriott). Herriott had played with Severinsen, best known as lead trumpeter and bandleader of the NBC orchestra on The Tonight Show. With the most visible big band in America, he had updated well known swing and jazz standards, introducing audiences to classics by Cole Porter, Dizzy Gillespie, and others. And essentially this is what the OSO provided on Sunday, that wonderful big-band sound we associate with lavish spectaculars in New York and Las Vegas.
Herriott played both trumpet and trombone. The second medley, Louis and Dizzy, featured classics made popular by these two great trumpet icons, including a spirited take on Gillespie’s A Night in Tunisia. The OSO orchestra featured in the third medley, Satchmo. Unfortunately, perhaps, it started with the ever-so-predictable The Saints. Nicknamed “The Monster” by musicians because they dread it (seemingly it’s Jim Elderton the only tune some people can request of a Dixieland band), at Preservation Hall in New Orleans, a request for this costs five times the usual rate. However, the orchestra’s great playing of What a Wonderful World and Hello Dolly made up for the lapse. After two haunting pieces from Bernstein’s Mass, Herriott gave us a magnificent taste of Spain with Mendez’s La Virgin de la Macarena. The first half of the show was marred by over-amplification of the trumpet, producing an awkward balance with the orchestra. Also the drummer and percussionist, located on opposite sides of the stage, couldn’t see each other, and Scott rarely looked at the conductor, so the timing was often off on faster sections. Even less effective were Herriott’s attempts at stand-up comedy. OSO conductor Rosemary Thomson

bravely smiled, however this was their third night, and those jokes must have worn very thin. In the second half the sound balance was solved and things improved. In the Harry James’ medley we had a beautiful rendition of Stardust, and Herriott followed with The Flight of the Bumblebee, challenging on a violin for sure, but on a trumpet 16th-notes don’t even officially exist. (And by the way, the program notes were often misleading as regards to composers –– neither of the two sources named for Bumblebee were the actual composer.) The second OSO medley included five great classics including a lively interpretation of Pennsylvania 6-5000, with players and conductor calling at the breaks. Herriott brought Okanagan principal trumpeter Audrey Tannant to the front, for a beautiful duet of his arrangement Somewhere from Bernstein’s West Side Story. His finale was Carnival of Venice, a folk tune often adapted for solo trumpet. It’s regarded as one of the most difficult trumpet pieces ever. Once you get into the variations, it’s extremely fast, needing triple tonguing. For the encore, the three OSO trombone players joined Herriott for Henry Fillmore’s Lassus Trombone, a gentle and beautifully played four-part ragtime piece that perfectly rounded off the evening.

Lunch on this Italian feast about aging Vernon Film Society
The Vernon Film Society screens Mid August Lunch, a gentle movie that is the ideal escape from dark November days, Monday. It tells the story of a middleaged man (Gianni Di Gregorio, also the director) who lives with his mother in an apartment in Rome. He is a good son, but also something of a likable good-fornothing when it comes to paying bills and making a living, owing money to all and sundry. The time of year is Ferragosto, Aug. 15, an important Italian holiday since Roman times, when everyone escapes the sweltering cities to go to the beach or the countryside. Gianni agrees to watch the property manager’s mother for the weekend, in payment of a debt. When she arrives, she has an old aunt with her. Later, Gianni’s doctor barters a house call in exchange for letting his mother stay too. Gianni finds himself caring for the four elderly ladies, each with a strong personality and with particular needs.
The women, all non-professional actors who have never appeared in a movie before, play wonderful roles and Gianni, as director, seems to have an intelligent understanding of old age and the women become the focus of the film in a delightfully unforced way. There is a touch of sadness that these vivid women have been “dumped� by their families. This fact is submerged by the ways in which the women overcome their differences to forge their own relationships and make their own celebration. This movie is a reminder of the relationships between Italian men and their mothers and also the gentle joys of Italian life, in which food and drink play such an important role. Mid August Lunch won the Golden Snail award at Bologna’s International Festival of Food and Film, and is in Italian with English subtitles. Accompanying Mid August Lunch will be the short film Princess Margaret Blvd, honoured at the
63rd Edinburgh International Film Festival by winning the festival’s newly established Best International Short Film Award. The frustration, confusion, and loneliness that are the effects of Alzheimer’s disease on an elderly woman’s daily life are subtly explored in this affecting and mature film. “Princess Margaret Blvd is a brilliant, complex, emotionally honest and intense piece of cinema. An outstanding expression of film craft, compassion and performance –– every element in this film serves its story of the decline of the mind through dementia,� said the Edinburgh Festival award selection jury. Princess Margaret Blvd also won the Golden Sheaf Award for best drama at the Yorkton Film Festival in Saskatchewan, as well as winning at Slamdance 2009 and Encounters, Bristol, 2009. Films show at the Towne Cinema Monday at 5:15 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. Tickets are $7, now available at the theatre and the Bean Scene.

Winter comes into view at concert Morning Star Staff
Feel the wonder of Christmas as the snowy landscapes sail by when members of Lillooet’s Fountainview Academy Orchestra and Choir take a ride aboard the Kettle Valley Railway’s steam train to present their latest DVD and concert. The internationally acclaimed choir and orchestra performs live at A.L. Fortune Secondary School in Enderby Friday. The performance includes video footage from the orchestra and choir’s latest DVD, Joy to the World, which shows them performing and singing aboard the turn-of-the-19th-century steam locomotive based in Summerland. The concert also
features orchestral renditions of favourite Christmas melodies and quiet, reflective pieces. Selections range from strains of Handel’s Joy to the World in the arrangement made famous by Julie Andrews, Hark the Herald Angels Sing, the newest carol by Mark Schultz, When Love Was Born, and the never-failing favourite Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus. The orchestra has
toured Eastern Europe, Central America, North America, and has been broadcast internationally on Three Angels Broadcasting Network, The Hope Channel, and other networks including CTV. They have released 12 professional albums and four DVD recordings. Joy to the World not only features the entire orchestra and choir (85

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be exceptionally careful of your behavior when placed in the position of having to deal with someone whom you innately dislike. You could demean yourself by behaving in an unbecoming manner.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Follow that old saying: “If you can’t find something nice to say about someone, say nothing at all.” Any critique you make could end up sounding abrasive and meanspirited.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Costly social involvements could be the very ones that turn out to be the least fun. In order to not waste money on such an endeavor, find an inexpensive but pleasurable outlet.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Be careful how you treat someone who has always cooperated with you in the past. If you fail to support him/her, this person won’t get your back the next time you need his/her help.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Even though your ambitions are easily aroused, you are unfortunately likely to focus on some wasteful objectives. Don’t spend your valuable time or money on goals of dubious value.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Guard against a tendency to blame everyone but yourself for mistakes that occur at work. If you do, it’ll create some serious problems for you with co-workers.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) The only way you can resolve a misunderstanding between yourself and another is to bring it out into the open and honestly discuss it. Being silent about it serves to keep the issues smoldering.

Some interesting changes could be in the offing that will benefit you both socially and commercially in the next year. A friend might originally initiate one or two of them, but once you get a handle on things, you’ll make your own luck.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) A friend of yours might take the attitude that s/he has a proprietary interest in your resources, and will try to maneuver you into making an undesirable commitment to cover all his/her expenses. ARIES (March 21-April 19) No major decision should be made without first considering all the ramifications. Although your mind is sharp, your judgment could be off base; you will require much more data. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Because you’ll need to be prepared to fend for yourself, put aside all tasks that require a helpmate to do the job right. Those who usually pitch in won’t be around when you’ll need them. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) It’s foolish to take an unwise risk when your better judgment warns you against doing so -especially regarding matters of a financial nature. You’ll end up broke, with nothing to show for your effort. CANCER (June 21-July 22) If you find yourself in one of your sour moods, try to keep to yourself as much as possible to avoid inadvertently saying something offensive to someone you like.

HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes 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.

Regional district encourages recycling old lights Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan residents are preparing for Christmas and one of the things to consider is how to cut back on waste. “If you are replacing your old, inefficient Christmas lights with new, energy efficient LED lights, please do not put
the old lights in the garbage or in your blue bag,” said Karmen Morgan, the North Okanagan Regional District’s waste reduction co-ordinator. “These strings contain metal and can be recycled.” Old strings will also be accepted free of charge at the Venture Training
Centre in Vernon (4240 Alexis Park Dr.). If you are at the local landfills, the scale attendant can direct you to the appropriate area to recycle your old strings. Regular recycling and disposal fees apply at the landfills. Remove the glass or plas-
tic bulbs before you drop off your old strings of Christmas lights. “The bulbs could be reused for craft projects or placed in the garbage for disposal,” said Morgan. Waste reduction should also be considered when shopping for the holidays. Consider the following
%

Maroons peak for Valleys
Morning Star Staff
Morning Star Staff
The Fulton Maroons fed off some raucous home-crowd support as they collected gold at the Okanagan Valley Senior AAA Girls Volleyball Championships Saturday afternoon. In the best-of-five sets championship game, the No. 1-ranked Maroons swept the No. 4 Kalamalka Lakers 3-0 (25-18, 25-15, 25-11). Fulton stopped the Okanagan Mission Huskies 3-0 to advance to the final, while Kal grounded the VSS Panthers 3-1 to earn their berth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amanda Sakamoto has matured into a solid all-star setter with excellent set selection, tough defence in the back row and a respected leadership role on the team,â&#x20AC;? said Fulton head coach Sharon Shaigec. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tournament standouts, power hitters Kelsey Thompson and captain Tavia Lochhead, play with such intensity and power on the court that they are both hard to stop. They are our go-to girls in clutch situations in the games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Middle blockers Taylar Wapple and Sachiko Ouchi mix up the offence with a varied quick attack and Teesha Baker puts up a solid block against opposing teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offensive attack. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Libero Justine Thomas stepped up in the back row passing consistently and playing with heart and determination.â&#x20AC;? Kal head coach Maria Hansen had hoped the Lakers would show up with the same intensity that saw them take a set off Fulton in preliminary play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, we fell a little flat and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put all the necessary pieces together,â&#x20AC;? she said. Kalamalka captain Kim Squair, who had been in bed with the flu all week, showed up in the games that mattered. Maria Thorlakson was strong in the power position and Danica Currie passed strongly all weekend as libero. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amanda Bennett did a good job setting when Kim was unable to, and Jeevan Jaswal played well defensively on the right side, a new position for her,â&#x20AC;?

Middles Kaelyn Parmelee (Grade 10) and Rachel von Hahn came up with some timely hits and blocks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kirsten Dodds contributed defensively when called upon, as did Danielle Fox in an offensive role. Junior call-up Toni Vandenbrink gained some valuable floor experience.â&#x20AC;? Both the Maroons and Lakers advance to provincials, hosted by the Duchess Park Condors, Dec. 2-4 in Prince George. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hometown favourites Condors (rated No. 3) will be tough to beat in their home gym, with a home crowd.â&#x20AC;? said Shaigec. The Maroons visit the No. 3-ranked AAAA Pen-Hi Lakers in exhibition action on Thursday.
â&#x2013; In Valley senior AA girls action, the Sa-Hali Sabres of Kamloops upended the Westsyde Whundas 3-1 (22-25, 25-23, 25-22, 25-16) in the gold-medal match Saturday at Seaton Secondary. Both Sa-Hali and Westsyde advance to provincials. The Princess Margaret Mustangs defeated the Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops 2-1 (25-27, 25-22, 15-6), and George Elliot Coyotes stopped the host Sonics 2-0 (25-11, 25-19) in the quarterfinals. Westsyde gonged the Mustangs 2-0 (25-14, 25-20) and Sa-Hali brushed back Elliot 2-1 (25-23, 19-25, 15-7) in the semis. The Coyotes secured bronze by outlasting Princess Margaret 2-1 (25-9, 26-24, 25-22).

It was the Vernon Vipersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; third one-goal game in a four-game tour of the B.C. Hockey Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lower Mainland teams. Netminder Blake Voth ensured it was a win with his best effort of the season, a 30-save, first-star performance as the Snakes stuffed the Surrey Eagles 2-1 before 900 fans Sunday afternoon at South Surrey Arena. Trevor Fitzgerald, with his sixth goal of the season, recorded the winner at 12:06 of the third period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dylan (Walchuk) just shot it and I got a stick on it. We really needed that win, so it was nice to get the winner,â&#x20AC;? said Fitzgerald, a 17-year-old Vernon product who relished playing on Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Olympicsized ice sheet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It kind of worked to our advantage because we have a pretty fast team.â&#x20AC;? Fitzgerald also displayed his physical side, getting into a first-period scrap with Dale Hunt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was short â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one of my better ones,â&#x20AC;? said Fitzgerald. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind dropping the gloves once in a while. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not that guy whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll drop the gloves every game, but I like to play with that intensity.â&#x20AC;? The Vipers will end their November schedule Friday night against the Interior-leading Trail Smoke Eaters (19-9-0-1) Friday at Wesbild Centre. Vernon, fourth in the Interior at 14-8-1-6, managed five of eight points from their coastal swing, and while those results might not seem overly flattering, Vipersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach Mark Ferner noted three of those games were against top-three Coastal Confernece teams, including the Powell River Kings, rated No. 2 in this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canadian Junior Hockey League rankings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to figure it out as far as how we need to be. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the result, but the effort was there,â&#x20AC;? said Ferner, noting the Eagles, now fourth on the coast at 15-10-1-1, had Saturday night off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was our third game in four-and-a-half days and our guys put in a solid effort to get that win.â&#x20AC;? Bryce Kakoske (10th goal) had Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other goal midway through the first period, assisted by Dave Robinson. Daniel Gentzier (7th) responded for Surrey on a late third-period powerplay. Saturday night, the Vipers recorded a pair of third-period goals to salvage a point in a 5-4 double-overtime loss to the Langley Chiefs at the Events Centre.

Langley goalie Wyatt Galley fends off a rush by Vernon's Kyle Murphy during BCHL action Saturday at the Langley Events Centre.
Zalewski pushes Chiefs to OT Continued from B1 Vernon outshot Langley 47-28 and outworked the Chiefs most of the game. “We probably deserved a better fate, again,” said Ferner. “I thought we were the better team.” With Vernon trailing 4-2 midway through the third period, defenceman Malcolm Lyles (4th) wristed a shot through traffic on the powerplay to pull his team within a goal. Ferner’s decision to pull Bryton Udy (23 saves) on an offensive faceoff with two minutes to play proved to be a good one.
With the extra attacker, Mike Zalewski converted a nice seam pass from Adam Thompson to force OT. “We hadn’t been great on faceoffs, but if we can get an extra body out there maybe we can go and hunt it down if we do lose it,” said Ferner. Kyle Murphy (6th), assisted by Max Mowat and Aaron Hadley, and Robinson (13th), assisted by Kakoske and Mowat, completed Vernon’s offence. First star Josh Myers and Matt Ius each had a goal and assist for the Chiefs (17-81-4), who got the OT winner from Trevor
Gerling. Langley keeper Wyatt Galley recorded 43 stops for third star and the win. SNAKE BITES: The Vipers have transferred the playing rights of former Kelowna Rocket Kyle St. Denis, a 20-yearold forward, to the Victoria Grizzlies in exchange for future considerations... WHL Tri-City Americans’ forward Zach McPhee, a 17-year-old Vernon product, has been assigned to the Vipers. McPhee, who had one goal in eight games with the Americans, was a sixth-round pick in the 2008 bantam draft.
Sonics tame Coyotes for Valley title Morning Star Staff
Conner Kozak collected tournament MVP as the Seaton Sonics secured gold at the Okanagan Valley Senior AA Boys Volleyball Championships Saturday at George Elliot Secondary in Winfield. Seaton defeated the host GESS Coyotes 3-0 in the final. “They came out flying and we had the enormous task of trying to control Jonnie Russo who is the most dominant player in the province this year,” said Seaton head coach Doug Kozak. “He was untouchable for most of the first set but we slowed him down a couple of times and managed to get a couple of key blocks to give us a boost to take the first set 25-20.” Tournament all-stars Alex Nolan and Adam Tishenko put together a string of kills, fed by passes from libero Sean Bonnett to win the second set 25-19.
“It was great to have Marco Arnold back from a knee injury just in time to fill in for injured Max Belfort,” said Kozak. “Marco did an exceptional job blocking and passing after not seeing action for the past three weeks.” Middles Keenan Wright and Jaydon Ward led the Sonics’ serving assault, and helped out with some great digs and free balls. In the third set, Tishenko delivered several big blocks while Kozak went to work on the outside with a flurry of kills to give Seaton a 25-23 win for the title. The Sa-Hali of Kamloops outlasted Okanagan Mission Huskies 3-1 in the bronze-medal final. Seaton earned a bye to the semifinals where they caged OKM 3-1, and George Elliot rattled the Sabres 3-0. “We started the day off slowly with a first-set loss to OKM who put a lot of
pressure on us right off the bat,” said Kozak. “It took a lot of work to turn the match around in our favour, but once our serving got on track it gave us some free balls to work with to start powering up our offence. “Taylor Hamilton Gee, Scott Reztcka, Scott Day and Brad Kievit worked well together against OKM. It was great to have all the young guys on the floor at the same time.” Earlier Saturday, OKM defeated Princess Margaret and George Elliot stopped the VSS Panthers (18-25, 17-25) in quarterfinal matchups. Germano Brunello’s Cats were missing key players to illness and injury “At this time of the season you need everyone on their game and your key players as major contributors. They represented well though,” said Germano.
The Seaton Sonics battled their way out of a stacked pool to collect bronze at the Okanagan Valley Junior Boys Volleyball Championships in Kamloops. In a round-robin pool that featured all three medal winners, the Sonics advanced to face the Princess Margaret Mustangs of Penticton in Saturday quarterfinal action. Seaton came out slow, losing the first set, but fought back to win a nail-biter third set 15-13. In the semis, Seaton fell to eventual tournament champion George Elliot Coyotes in another threeset thriller. The two teams pounded back and forth with Elliot using their solid power attack, and Seaton spreading the attack from all positions. Seaton stuffed the Kelowna Secondary Owls 2-0 in the bronze-medal game. It was their first win of the season against KSS. Solid play from all-star Mitchell Lacasse, great setting from Andrew Healy, and terrific swings and leadership from Alex Baxter were key in the boys’ success. Seaton has qualified for the provincials, Nov. 25-27 at MEI Secondary in Abbotsford. Meanwhile, the VSS Panthers did just enough to secure a berth in the junior girls provincials after finishing fourth at Valleys Saturday in Penticton. The Cats opened Friday with a three-set loss to KSS (25-21, 23-25, 9-15). Karley Fugal supplied some fantastic blocks, Quinsy Leier delivered hard hits and Jesse Hembling provided timely digs. Vernon rallied in their next match, grounding the Keremeos Sparks 2-0 (25-20, 25-18), but fell to the South Kamloops Titans 3-0 (25-20, 18-25, 8-15). On Saturday, the Panthers hung on for a three-set win over the Fulton Maroons (25-19, 26-28, 15-13), with the strong defence from Becker and Fugal and Aurora Greeno. In the semis, the Cats fell 2-0 to KSS and bowed 2-1 to Kelowna Christian Knights (25-23, 22-25, 9-15) in relegation play. Provincials go this weekend in Richmond. BUY 1 GET 2ND ITEM

Kendra Ostafie powered the Dinos with 4+1, while Shelby Connors had 1+2 and Abygayle Williamson had one goal. Madison Fox and Brooke Holtskog shared the goalie position.

Smith fired four goals in Salmon Arm, while Martian (2), Carly Alexander, Jones and Ashleigh Cohen also connected. The Thompson Okanagan Ringette League AA team Belle AA team battled hard in every game while going 0-5 at the Edmonton Mill Woods Tournament. “We had little success on the scoreboard, however the hard work and team effort never lacked,” said coach Tralee Mazu. ”The girls never gave up. We do have a lot of work ahead of us. Edmonton was the first time we got to compete at the AA level, so our expectations were to go and learn, build as a team. Hats off to Kirsten Wiltshire. This was her first time playing at the AA level, and she worked hard and we saw improvement in her confidence throughout the tournament.”
Williamson, Sierra Spillett, Taliya Yamaoka and Brodi Owens-Beris all played well in the defensive end. The strong defensive play by pairings Grace Cornell/Giselle Torres and Maria Alexis/Hailey Quiring helped to ensure that rookie goalie Levi Knopf earned her first win in net as the North Enderby Timber Lightning fought off the Shuswap Hotshots 6-5 in Novice action Sunday. Rylie Marchand pulled the hat trick for the Lightning, while Carly Newman, Brooke Buller and Kenzie Koshure supplied singles.

Forsyth, a Panther grad, played just 17 minutes in earning the TRU Bookstore ‘Leader of the Pack’ player of the game. “We have had lot girls scoring in different positions,” said Forsyth, quickly deflecting praise away from her play. “Diane (Schuetze, third-year post, Vernon) and Kailey (Colonna) are scoring inside. Our guards are shooting well – Jen (Ju), Kaitlyn (Widston) and Tracy (Kocs) are all hitting shots.” Said TRU coach Scott Reeves, whose team improved to 7-3: “We shot the ball real well. We had seven threes in the first half. That is going to put pressure on people to come out and extend their defence. That opens things up for Diane or people curling inside. I was proud of our effort.” Schuetze contributed 10 rebounds.

North Okanagan Knights' Eric Chore works his way across the point while being pressured by Revelstoke Grizzlies' Reid Blinkhorn during KIJHL action Sunday at the NorVal Sports Centre in Armstrong.
Knights’ slide hits six games Morning Star Staff
They have gone 1-9 in their last 10 games, but North Okanagan Knights head coach Sylvain Leone is not calling the Hockey Crisis Line just yet. The Knights fell 5-2 to the defending Kootenay International Junior Hockey League champion Revelstoke Grizzlies in a Sunday matinee, extending their losing streak to six games. The Grizzlies (23-5) ambushed the Knights 8-1 Saturday night at the Forum. "We didn't compete Saturday night, but on Sunday, we really played a game in the right direction," said Leone. "We're hit a bit of a wall, but better now than in the playoffs. We had some success in the beginning so this is a reminder of how hard we worked for those wins. We've lost a little of our identity but the kids are working hard and we'll get it cleaned up." The Knights (11-14) face the host Sicamous
Eagles (8-15-0-3) tonight to start a stretch of four games versus teams under or near .500. They visit the Penticton Lakers (8-21) Friday night and play the Storm (14-11-0-2) Sunday in Kamloops. Veteran d-man Reid Blinkhorn of Winfield scored twice and Vernon product Tye Sanford earned first star with two assists as Revelstoke gonged the Knights Saturday. Eric Chore scored his eighth goal of the year for the Knights, who trailed 6-0 after two periods. The Grizzlies grabbed period leads of 3-0 and 4-1 Sunday at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. Brendan Urban scored the first goal and drew an assist on Brandon Perger's 2-0 goal to earn first star. Kurtis Hagen and Andrew Nichols, with their second goals of the season, replied for the Knights. Rookie TJ Domonceaux went hard both ways and took second star for the Knights in front of 150 fans.

Dissent showing in provincial NDP
BUILDING BRIDGES

Eric Foster (left), Vernon-Monashee MLA, and Mayor Kevin Acton officially open the Maple Street bridge in Lumby. A $950,000 partnership between the village and the provincial government led to two bridges being built over Duteau Creek and Bessette Creek.
Standing ovations and an 84 per cent vote backing leader Carole James at Saturday’s NDP provincial council meeting couldn’t hide the fact that a major rift has opened among the party’s current MLAs. Delegates at the meeting at a Victoria hotel sported yellow scarves and buttons to show their support for James. Of the MLAs in attendance, about a dozen made a point of not wearing a scarf or joining in the ovations for James’ speech that opened the weekend meeting. Delegates voted Saturday on a series of resolutions calling for the party to hold a leadership convention to force James to compete to keep her job. With MLAs not entitled to vote, delegates voted 97 to 18 to reject that idea. James addressed the split in her speech, reminding party members that the troubles of the B.C. Liberal government aren’t enough to ensure success. “At a time when we should be united, we’re fighting amongst ourselves,” James said. “British Columbians are shaking their heads. They’re wondering what’s wrong with B.C. politics, and I have to say, they’re wondering right now whether the New Democrats have what it takes to be government. They’re wondering if we can get our act together.” Those MLAs who have refused to indicate support or signaled their dissatisfaction with James’ leadership are Doug Routley, Katrine Conroy, Mike Sather, Harry Lali, Lana Popham, Leonard Krog, Claire Trevena, Norm Macdonald, Robin Austin, Gary Coons, Jenny Kwan, Nicholas Simons and Guy Gentner. The dissent spilled into the open Friday when Conroy, MLA for Kootenay West, announced that she was quitting as party whip after five years. Conroy said she didn’t have sufficient support from the leader and caucus after working for several weeks to reinstate Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson, kicked out of the caucus by James in October. Macdonald had previously resigned as caucus chair, citing a lack of consultation with MLAs before expelling Simpson. Former MLAs at the provincial council meeting included Dale Lovick, backing a motion from Nanaimo-North Cowichan to force a leadership convention, and Dave Zirnhelt of Cariboo-Chilcotin, who wore a scarf to show support for James.

Swaziland gets support CARA BRADY

Pam Carlson first visited Swaziland 10 years ago when her husband, Bruce, was working in South Africa. “It is a place of such incredible beauty, joy and sadness. There were kids in rural areas with a school nearby but not attending because the parents couldn’t afford the $100 a year to send them. The schools are good academically, based on the Cambridge system from England, but there are often no supplies and the students must have uniforms to attend,” said Carlson. She formed an organization to help get the kids into school and this year there are 85 students from Grade 1 to university. One young woman has graduated in nursing and others are in other post-secondary training. One of the things that keeps young women from school attendance is the shame of not having a bra to wear. A donation of new bras from Nola Neilson, owner of Creatabls, will be made available to post-secondary students first and then to high school students. Carlson tells the story of a girl who matured early and left school. When she got underwear, she went back to school, did five grades in one year as an honour student and will be attending university. “The young women feel better about themselves when they have proper underwear and we appreciate this donation,” said Carlson.

Special to The Morning Star
King Ungus, King of the Picts, chose the patron Saint of Scotland, Saint Andrew. The Picts were the precursors of the Scots and King Ungus, before the Battle of Athelstaneford, one of the many conflicts between the Scots and the English, saw a cross-shaped white cloud in the blue sky. He swore that if the Scots won the day then he would adopt that shape for the Scots nation. The Scots did win and so that cross, heraldically called a “saltire,” and more widely known as “Saint Andrew’s Cross,” became the symbol of Scotland and has remained so ever since. The diagonal cross of the “saltire” was easy to reproduce and to recognize, especially in the confusion of a battlefield. The background colour of blue was similarly easy to reproduce with the basic paint and colour technology of those early years. The Church of Scotland before Athelstaneford had venerated Saint Andrew, but this royal action confirmed him as the patron saint of Scotland even though he was far away in distance and in time. His cross has become a widely recognized and well-respected symbol for the Scottish nation around the world. Saint Andrew’s Night is Nov. 30. Here in Vernon, the Sons of Scotland and those with an interest in things Scottish, will have a family Ceilidh on the nearest weekend, which is this Saturday. Ceilidh, pronounced “kaylee” is a Gaelic word for a meeting or visit, but in practice

Cookies have an international flavour
T
he countdown to the Christmas season has begun and along with it will come preparations for as many different traditions as there are families in our country. Special foods in particular vary with the heritage of each family during the festive season. Take something as simple as Christmas cookies for example. Families with a Scandinavian background will be baking a minimum of seven different traditional cookies. This is a carryover from the 19th century when the number reflected a family’s wealth and status. The cookies were all baked and stored, ready for the first Sunday in Advent when they began eating them as an afterdinner treat. Many of the culinary influences of the Scandinavian bakers were adapted from France, Germany and Austria, and the similarity shows in many of the recipes from each country. Today we’re fea-

Workshop offers ‘Principles of Change’ Morning Star Staff
There are times in life when we go through moments of self reflection and we do not like the answers that we find. It is at these points in life when we may ask ourselves some important questions about change. Murray Ververda, minister at Vernon Church of Christ, wants to help people understand and apply principles that are helpful for long-term change in his workshop this Saturday, called Principles of Change. “As a minister, I see people at some of the lowest times in their life and they want to know if change is possible,” said Ververda. “They have become sceptical of change.” The workshop will involve interaction, multimedia, discussion, and a workbook to encourage people to apply the principles in their own lives and in their own way. The presented principles of change will apply
to daily life, and will be most effective with a Christian mindset. Passages of the Bible will be explored during the last two sessions. “People tend to need some help to
change and that is what we are here for,” said Ververda. The workshop cost is $5 per person and takes place at the Vernon Church of Christ, 4107 Pleasant Valley Rd.,
Saturday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Preregistration is required because seating is limited. Call the church at 250-545-6892 or e-mail vernonchurchofchrist@telus.net to register.

Building for dental health CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Lesly McMillan, co-manager with Chris Turner, of the Community Dental Access Clinic, can picture what everything is going to look like as she walks around the office that will be renovated to be home to the clinic by spring. “It’s the perfect location, it’s close to downtown and buses. We’ll have the front desk here and the rooms for the dentists and hygienists over there and this is where the kitchen will be,” she said. With a background in finance and administration, she’s been retired for five years and looks forward to working at the clinic. “When I heard about the clinic and the impact that lack of dental services has on low-income people, it touched my heart and I wanted to be part of it and help make this happen for the community.” Turner brings a background in administration and contracting services to her position. “I felt a personal attachment to this issue because I grew up in a large family with no dental plan and struggled with my teeth.

Dental Access Steering Committee started in 2002 and has been working towards a clinic since 2006. Current chairman is Dominique Berard. The committee is thrilled with the response from the community so that the clinic can become a reality. A number of local dentists will be doing volunteer work and mentoring students in the UBC Dentistry Program. There will be staff dentists, hygienists and dental assistants and opportunities for volunteers to help.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder The annual world championship books run to 300-plus large pages They are written by a team of authors, one of whom, Brian Senior from England, is also the editor and publisher (under the auspices of the World Bridge Federation). Each, packed with deals and photos, is great value for the money. This deal occurred during last year’s Venice Cup, which was played in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The auction was involved. North’s one-notrump opening showed 14-16 points. Two diamonds was a transfer bid. Two spades promised four-card heart support and a maximum. Three diamonds was a retransfer. And North’s pass over
West’s lead-directing double was a reretransfer! Against three hearts, West started the defense with three rounds of diamonds, Wang Hongli, South for the winning Chinese team, discarding her club loser. East shifted to a low club, declarer winning with dummy’s ace, drawing trumps, and ruffing the club eight in her hand, which marked South with 4-5-2-2 distribution. Then a spade went to dummy’s 10 and East’s jack. East smartly exited with a club. Wang ruffed in her hand and played another spade. After a short pause she called for dummy’s ace, dropping East’s king to make her contract. How did Wang find this apparently anti-percentage
play? She knew that West had started with the ace-king of diamonds and a club honor. (East would have led the club king, not a low club, with a suit headed by the K-Q-J.) Declarer felt that if West had also held the spade king, she would have acted on the first round.

Eileen Nellie Pointer August 15, 1916 – November 17, 2010
Eileen was born at home, in the Coldstream, in what is now the “Tassie” house. Eileen was one of four children, of Irish descent and grew up surrounded by apple orchards and rose gardens! She had fond memories of walking down Aberdeen Road to school, swimming in the Gray Canal and being chosen May Day princess one year. On May 17th, 1937, Eileen married Les Pointer and they honeymooned at Sugar Lake. Eileen and Les had two children, Arlene and Robert. They eventually settled on Mill Road in Whitevale and Eileen ran a small grocery store while Les worked. After they closed the store, Eileen took care of her grandchildren and learned to drive a car in her sixty’s! Widowed in 1992, Eileen carried on enjoying traveling and keeping busy with the Lumby OAP where she was given a life membership. She loved bingo, bowling, cards, reading and bus trips. There always was time for a cup of tea and she loved to have people drop in. She had a great sense of humour, positive attitude and was someone who wasn’t afraid to state her opinion! She was a smart dresser and a sociable lady who loved to go out shopping and for lunch with family and friends. After numerous strokes, she could no longer live on her own. Eileen spent her ¿nal years at Noric House, where she was lovingly cared for by their dedicated staff. Eileen will be sadly missed by her daughter, Arlene (Ben) Eckert; son, Robert (Pat); six grandchildren: Jody (Randy) Pentland, Jill (Stan) Neumann, Jay (Russell) Sawatzky, Stephanie (Joe) Milic, Marilee (Rob) Hart, Waylon Pointer (Tia); eight great grandchildren: Jason, Randee, Emily, Jake, Kirsten, Megan, Thomas and Julia; and one great-great grandchild, Carey. Those who wish to do so may make a donation in her memory to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or to a Charity of your choice. A “Tea” in her honour will be held on Sunday, November 28 at the Lumby OAP Hall from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Bring your stories to share with her family and friends. Cremation arrangements are in the care of Vernon Funeral Home 250-542-0155.
