Abbott launches bid for leadership RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
B.C.’s most powerful position could eventually have a base in the North Okanagan. George Abbott, the veteran MLA for Shuswap, announced Thursday that he wants to be the leader of the Liberal Party and the next premier. “In every assignment I have taken on, I have had a proven record of success,� said the 58-year-old Sicamous resident. “My approach to government is what the Liberals and the province need today.� Abbott also tendered his resignation as education minister Thursday. “Education is a large and complex ministry and I would be doing a disservice if I attempted to maintain my duties while seeking the leadership,� he said. Abbott claims he has support from one-third of the Liberal caucus and another quarter is leaning towards him. Among those joining him at the announcement at Vancouver’s Pan Pacific Hotel were Environment Minister Murray Coell and MLAs Gordon Hogg, John van Dongen, Richard Lee, John Rustad and Don McRae. Abbott has also received endorsements from MLAs Norm Letnick and Kash Heed. Abbott insists that the Liberal government has lost the confidence of many British Columbians and that situation must be addressed.
MARCO MORELLI/BLACK PRESS
Shuswap MLA George Abbott announces his plans to run for the Liberal leadership during a press conference at the Pan Pacific Hotel in Vancouver Thursday. “We need to reconnect with the grassroots, and to listen respectfully to their ideas and advice. Healing our divisions will only come from mutual respect,
listening and hard work.� Among the promises he made if he becomes premier is to bump up the date for the HST referendum from November to June 24
at the latest. “This is too long to wait if we want to heal the divisions,� he said of the original timeline. “The government did a poor
job of introducing the HST. The electors deserved much better. I won’t blame others. I will stand up and take responsibility for my part in it.� But Abbott continues to defend the government’s overall record. “We’ve taken B.C. from a have-not province in 2001 to a have-province with one of the strongest economies in the western world,� he said. Among his other promises, if premier, are to work with various stakeholders on increasing the minimum wage, implementing tax credits for home renovations and youth activities, and initiating regional forums to strengthen the economy. Abbott was first elected Shuswap MLA in 1996, and he has served as minister of health, community services, sustainable resource management and aboriginal relations. He was named education minister during a cabinet shuffle at the end of October. Prior to entering provincial politics, the Enderby-born Abbott taught at Okanagan College. Abbott does not believe his constituency duties will suffer if he becomes the premier and party leader. “I will continue to make sure the Shuswap does well in terms of government programs,� he said. The only other leadership candidate at this time is Moira Stilwell, a former advanced education minister.
Local support lines up behind Shuswap MLA RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A number of community leaders are endorsing George Abbott’s bid to become the next Liberal leader and premier. The Shuswap MLA announced his intentions Thursday in Vancouver, and joining him there were Armstrong Mayor Chris Pieper, Spallumcheen Coun. Dave Brew,
Sicamous Mayor Malcolm McLeod and Salmon Arm Mayor Marty Bootsma. “He’s a strong candidate for premier I believe,� said Pieper of Abbott. “He’s well organized and a hard working guy. He’s our local representative and if we can support him, we should.� Pieper believes Abbott’s representation of the Shuswap constituency is indicative of his
leadership qualities. “He’s shown strong support for his local communities,� said Pieper. “If he has that kind of interest if he becomes premier, that will benefit the entire province.� Enderby Mayor Dee Wejr wasn’t in Vancouver but she still endorses Abbott. “He has done as much as he can for his
constituents,� she said. “He’s had some difficult ministries he’s been able to handle. And I like his calmness.� Another factor is also influencing Wejr’s views. “It’s time to have a premier from the Interior again,� she said.

News Realtors ready to fill food bank shelves RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Headlines proclaim a spike in food bank use across Canada, and the situation is extremely visible to anyone visiting the local Salvation Army. “In all of the years I’ve been doing this, I haven’t seen shelves this bare,� said Rob Shaw, organizer of the Realtors Food Drive, as he looks around the facility. The 33rd annual Realtors Food Drive begins at 5 p.m. Wednesday, with donations going to the food banks in Armstrong, Enderby, Lumby and Vernon. “We live in the community and many of our friends and neighbours are facing difficult times and we want to help,� said Shaw. “There’s people coming to the food bank who are on minimum wage. There are seniors who can’t make ends meet.� In many neighbourhoods in Greater Vernon, grocery bags with notes asking for food donations will be tied to door handles Nov. 30 so residents can be prepared for Wednesday’s collection. “We ask people to leave their porch lights on and we ask them to tie their bags together,� said Shaw. Vernon realtors will be supported by financial institutions and the child care society. Over the last two years, demand at the Salvation Army in Vernon

Foster remains undecided on top job Continued from A1 Some Liberal MLAs have rallied behind Abbott, but one remains non-committal. Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, hasn’t decided who he will endorse for leader. “I liken this to a horse race and I don’t commit until I see the parade to post,� said Foster. “I have no problem with supporting George but I will hold out on a decision out of respect for anyone else who may come forward. I will want to hear what they have to say.�
“I liken this to a horse race and I don’t commit until I see the parade to the post.� — Eric Foster Steve Gunner, Shuswap NDP Constituency Association president, isn’t convinced that the government will evolve significantly if Abbott becomes premier. “It looks like the same philosophy will be going on,� said
Gunner, adding that all Liberal MLAs have to answer for government policies. “Anyone who sits in caucus and lets this stuff happen shares some blame.� But despite their political dif-

ferences, Gunner says he wishes Abbott well. “If he becomes premier, I hope George will put more of a human face on government. It would be a good post for a man who has put in years of service.� Brian Cowan, Shuswap Liberal Constituency Association president, is backing Abbott. “He’s a most approachable person,� said Cowan. “He stands the best chance of making changes. His style of government may be different and he is the best person to lead the province into the future.�

Municipal council works on lowering taxes RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Coldstream officials are looking at ways to keep residential taxes down next year. As part of the 2011 budget process, council has agreed to use reserves and federal funds for some specific initiatives. “That potentially reduces the tax implication,” said Trevor Seibel, the district’s financial administration director. “It reduces our revenue requirements for 2011.” If nothing else were to change, a two per cent residential tax increase could be possible. But Seibel points out that it is still early in the budget
“The ever increasing cycle of taxes is enough.” — Bill Firman process. “There are other items that could be looked at to bring it down,” he said. One aspect that staff and council must consider are growth calculations for the community. “It captures all new houses and that creates increased value,” said Seibel.
“It tells us how much revenue to expect. It’s revenue we didn’t have last year.” One challenge is Coldstream has committed funds to a new transit maintenance building in Vernon. “That gives us a 1.2 per cent tax increase right off,” said Mayor Jim Garlick.
To help reduce taxes, $42,000 will be taken out of reserves to offset policing costs. A total of $50,000 in federal gas tax money will go to projects along Coldstream Creek, while it will also be spent on four trail initiatives. “The gas tax money is there and we have to spend it,” said Coun. Bill Firman. Firman is demanding that any possible tax increase be held at the rate of inflation. “We’ve had some pretty hefty tax hikes over the years,” he said. “The ever increasing cycle of taxes is enough.” Garlick is waiting to see what the final tax number is.
“Our figure is to go as low as possible,” he said, adding that council doesn’t want to affect service levels to residents. It’s expected there may be more budget discussions at the Dec. 6 council meeting, and then the financial plan will be refined further in January. Provincial legislation mandates municipal budgets must be done by May, but Seibel anticipates Coldstream will be done long before that deadline. “Last year, the budget bylaw was introduced in January, we pursued public input and at the end of March council adopted the bylaw,” he said.
Investigators can’t find fire cause RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The cause of a Vernon house fire may never be known. Firefighters were called to the 1200 block of 42nd Avenue mid-morning Tuesday. Smoke was billowing out of the structure. “The cause we’re going with is undetermined at this point,” said Dean Wakefield, fire investigator. “There are questions that we cannot answer at this time.” The cause, though, has been determined not to be suspicious in nature. Wakefield and the electrical inspector were on scene Wednesday combing through the debris in an attempt to locate the cause. It’s believed the fire started in a bathroom adjacent to an upstairs bedroom. Insurance adjusters have estimated the damage to the house and the contents at about $180,000. A 19-year-old man was home at the time of
the fire and originally attempted to extinguish the blaze himself. However, he was eventually forced to flee
the residence, along with the family’s two cats. One firefighter was taken to hospital after he came into contact with
live electrical wires. He was released from hospital a couple of hours after being admitted.
REGIONAL DISTRICT OF NORTH OKANAGAN
REDUCE WATER USE NOTICE – FOOTHILLS AREA The construction of the Kalamalka Lake – Duteau Creek Interconnect project requires the drainage of the large water supply main serving our customers in the Foothills area of Vernon. The line will need to be drained two or three times this winter. This important work allows the utility to put Kalamalka Lake water into the Duteau system or Duteau water into the Kalamalka system when conditions warrant. These works will significantly reduce the risk of a water supply outage to Greater Vernon. The utility is therefore requesting our domestic water customers in the Foothills area to reduce their water use, where possible, for the period starting the morning of Monday November 29th and ending the evening of Tuesday November 30th unless otherwise notified. This includes but is not limited to: • Reducing clothes washing; • Home car washing • Reduce other cleaning that requires water • Making backyard ice rinks Greater Vernon Water is taking additional measures to lessen the impact of the reduced water supply, and a notification will be updated as the project progresses. If you have any questions, please contact Greater Vernon Water at 250-550-3700. Contact: Al Cotsworth, Utilities Manager Greater Vernon Water, RDNO E-mail: info@rdno.ca Website: www.rdno.ca

Mayor Jim Garlick (left), the Salvation Army’s David MacBain, Queen Silver Star Katie Annand and Vernon Vipers captain Dave Robinson prepare for Coldstream’s Community Light Up Sunday.
Morning Star Staff
With winter well underway Coldstream is ready to light up the season with its annual Christmas event. Coldstream Christian Church’s eighth annual Community Light Up gets underway from 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday at the church. This year’s celebration, called Follow the Star, begins with Mary and Joseph’s trek to the stable, with Farmer Val’s live nativity. There will be shoot outs and autographs with the Vernon Vipers, raffles and cookie decorating and crafts with Queen Silver Star royalty and candidates. “You can warm yourself by the bon fire, listen to some special music presentations, enjoy a hot dog or maybe some popcorn, hot chocolate or cider, visit with Santa and Mrs. Clause and of course enjoy the lighting of tree,” said organizer Kelsie von Holst. The event is free, but residents are asked to bring a donation (either cash or non-perishable item) for the Vernon Salvation Army Food Bank. “The food bank will be receiving all the benefits of your generosity,” said David Hockley, church pastor. Shelves at the local food bank are rather bare these days therefore the generosity of events like the light up help feed families and individuals in need now and several months into the new year. “Our stocks are in desperate need of replenishing,” said David MacBain, Salvation Army community ministries director, asking supporters to check expiry dates on items. The annual light up will also feature sounds of the season from students at Coldstream and Kidston elementary schools, as well as the church choir. Local talent Karissa Waddell will also be adding her voice to the mix. “She’s very talented,” said von Holst. Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick encourages

Reality cold snap
B
rrrrr... Anyone else feel like they just got ambushed by winter? I mean, isn’t -18 C supposed to happen sometime in February? Or in Vanderhoof? It doesn’t make much sense that I should feel this jolt of surprise. We all know winter happens every year at pretty much the same time. It has done so since humans have walked the earth, or at least for the 30-odd years I’ve been Graeme Corbett around. But for whatever reason, I wasn’t prepared for the bone-numbing cold we endured this week. I was late in getting my snow tires on, I forgot to detach the garden hose from the outdoor tap. Basically, I declined to winterize my mind set. Now that I’m over the initial shock, winter is not all that bad. In many ways, it is one of my favourite seasons. All you really need to do is dress a little warmer, give yourself a little longer to get to where you want to go and drink lots of hot chocolate. What’s so bad about that? And it proves, albeit temporarily, that global warming has yet to take a firm hold. Instead, we get to live in an ice box for the next four months. How’s that for an inconvenient truth? As American chess grandmaster Robert Byrne once said: “Winter is nature’s way of saying, ‘Up yours.’” If you need to feel a little bit better about having to endure winter in the Okanagan, just look around at other parts of the world. A friend of mine works as a paramedic on the oil patch in Grande Prairie. She posted a photo on Facebook that made me grateful I don’t live there. It was a picture of one of those display boards you see at shopping malls. All it said was: “External Temperature:

-39 C.” I visited Grande Prairie once in April and it was bitterly cold even then. I watched the Vernon Vipers destroy the Storm in the Doyle Cup regional final, and got cleaned out by my so-called friends at Texas hold ‘em. I should have known something was up when I ventured into my buddy Shawn’s basement and found a professional poker table (you know, the ones with the green felt and padded rail). Even on the coast, things haven’t been all that rosy this week. Vancouver Island doesn’t get snow all that often, so when they get negative temperatures in the double digits and a 10-centimetre dump like they did earlier this week, things go pear-shaped in a hurry. Although, to refer to it as a “snowpocalypse,” is a bit of a stretch, even by Island standards. Saanich police advised Greater Victoria residents to avoid driving “at all costs,” as multi-car pileups were shutting down roads, and rush hour began hours earlier than normal as commuters tried to slip and slide their way home as early (and safely), as possible. I don’t know if government keep statistics on snowplows per capita, but our provincial capital would probably hover just a bit above Cancun. I lived in London for a year and when we got a light skim of snow there, the entire city seemed to shut down. I was riding the bus home, but after sitting in a traffic jam for half an hour, I got out and walked the two kilometres (and got home faster). And if you still think we’ve got it bad here in Vernon, $500-600 will buy you a week’s reprieve in Las Vegas. Weather shouldn’t be a factor when my Saskatchewan Roughriders attempt to make amends for their infamous 13th man blunder at last year’s Grey Cup. High of -6 C is expected when the Sea of Green faces the Alouettes in the 98th running of the cup at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton. That’s T-shirt weather compared to the -24 C they played in last weekend in the semis.
Surprising no one, veteran Shuswap MLA George Abbott announced Thursday that he will seek the Liberal leadership. If party faithful give him the nod Feb. 26, he will become B.C.’s new premier. There is no question that Abbott has proven himself to be a hard worker and is not afraid to take on new challenges. When it has come to some of the most difficult jobs in the provincial government — health, aboriginal relations and most recently education — those portfolios have been turned over to Abbott. And obviously he has qualities that are appealing to voters. He has topped the polls in the Shuswap constituency consecutively for 15 years, and prior to that, he was a popular local politician for the Sicamous area. However, Abbott’s race for the premier’s office may face one major hurdle. He’s putting himself forward as the person that can help the Liberals regain the confidence and trust of average British Columbians. However, as a cabinet minister, he was part of the team that initiated the policies that are unpopular. Abbott has also been an extremely partisan defender of the government, readily skewering anyone who openly challenges the status quo. Portraying himself as a breath of fresh air may be difficult for some people to accept. Only time will tell what the future holds — particularly as other leadership hopefuls come forward — but there’s no disputing the fact that all eyes will be on the Enderby-born Abbott between now and the end of February.

Citizens deserve tax reduction
W
ith Vernon city hall now promising no tax hike in 2011, it appears the silly season of municipal electioneering has officially begun. Only 12 more months of this until election day, I guess. I was interested to read how there would be no tax hikes in 2011, unless something came up that couldn't be ignored or this lack of increase somehow meant that commitment to the OCP was in jeopardy. Only Ms. O'Keefe seemed aware that many citizens are having "really rough" times, these days. The rest of council, apparently, seems to think they are doing a wonderful job and feel a zero increase should be looked upon as some type of amazing accomplishment. No one suggested that an overall tax reduction was warranted or would be a more note-worthy target. With that in mind, I'd like to draw attention to the City of Vernon 2009 annual report which is accessible on the city's website. If you are willing to spend some time with this document, you'll discover that taxable property assessments have increased by 106 per cent in the past five years and tax revenues have increased by about 30 per cent. On a per capita basis, each homeowner is now paying 20 per cent more in tax than they were five years ago and that implies that a lot of homeowners are paying much, much more. And as our population has increased by only 7.6 per cent in the past five years, it is obvious that the pie isn't growing bigger but our individual contributions to the city certainly are. Yet council believes they are doing a good job and deserve praise for not asking for more during the 2011 SHOP LOCAL Recently I put up a sale sign in my business window. I had a lady come in concerned that we were going out of business, which so far, we are not. I just have to say though, if there is a business in Vernon that you would like to continue to be in Vernon and open for business, then you need to support them now more than ever. The economy is very tough for local businesses right now. Any business person you speak to will tell you they are really hurting. The selection and service a small business has to offer is unequalled. We are privileged in Vernon to have some wonderful small businesses but they need your support especially now. Thank them with your business for all they do in the community,. They are the ones that give local donations to numerous causes. At least check them out first for your products before heading to Kelowna. Vernon small businesses support our local community. They provide jobs to local people and they enrich our city.

election year. Amazing. Unfortunately, the 2009 annual report confirms the worst. Council and the city are out of control and unconcerned. The city employee base of net full-time employees per 1,000 population, has grown by 41 per cent in the past five years. Whereas each citizen of Vernon has to cover $280 in city employee wages in 2005, by 2009, we were each (every man, woman and child) required to cover $433 of employee wages — a staggering 55 per cent increase per citizen (not per household) based on the population data provided. As has become evident, no one on council seems to know what many of these employees and costs are getting us. They aren't needed to oversee development or residential construction. Land use applications have declined by more than 30 per cent in the past five years. Permit values for residential construction have fallen by 54 per cent and the total number of building permits issued has fallen by 26 per cent. Other than
If you want independent businesses to remain and offer you service and selections that the big box retailers can't, then I urge you to shop local small businesses as much as possible in these hard economic times. You can help your favourite business remain open through these hard times. Elsie Reid FAMILY VALUES I would like to write this letter to say thank you to my family and to my employer. I am a single-parent with two children. I do not make very much money as I have always worked parttime so that I can be home with my children. My first child was lucky enough to be in the old system of every-day/ half-day kindergarten and now my second child is in the all-day/everyday system. During the summer, I must admit, I thought this was an excellent opportunity to increase my hours of work. Well, we tried it and did more reading about the whole

concept. September was very hard on all of us as a family. We were always rushing. My daughter was always tired and not wanting to go to school in the morning, I was always questioning why going to school all day was good for a five-year-old. Learning is supposed to be enjoyable and this was not happening. People would say — give it a few months and she and you will get used to it. No where in my reading did it say that it is beneficial for our children to be in an institution all day with 20 other children. I decided, after talking with my employer, that family is most important — not money, not government. My daughter now goes to kindergarten every day until lunch when I pick her up and we have a nice lunch at home and we spend the afternoon together. It has been wonderful. She now enjoys school and our time is precious together. I know it is hard for families but putting children earlier and earlier into the school system is not the solution. Mary Stewart
the Tolko office complex, Sparkling Hill project and the hospital expansion, there hasn't been too much going on in Vernon over the past five years — and it is doubtful that much in the way of city staff time was involved in any of these projects. I would prefer to see council offering something that is truly meaningful to the citizens of Vernon and suggest they can and should do better — much better. I recommend they try targeting a five per cent tax reduction, as a minimum, with hope that they actually achieve an eight to 10 per cent reduction for 2011. Their very own annual report provides ample data and opportunity of where cost savings could occur so they should start with this document and increase their scope accordingly. Given that they report having 44 employees earning in excess of $80,000 per year, cutting that number to just 25 or 30 would provide $1 or 2 million in savings. It is time for all councillors and city managers to take a practical and honest look at what is going on at city hall. These "really rough" times that are affecting citizens has to be acknowledged and responded to. Spending money foolishly or wastefully isn't an art or talent that any community requires of its council. Promising not to be foolish or wasteful, as they have been, is no reason to applaud anyone in a pending election year. I say it is time for our council and senior staff members to start acting like true leaders and effective managers — or suffer the consequences accordingly. Lew V. Rossner
HAPPY HALLOWEEN? Am I a party-pooper or am I missing something here? As a kid, I burned a cork to blacken my face and went out as a hobo. Now the costumes cost big bucks at the stores. The police warn about wild Halloween parties and big raves. Parents escort their kids to trickor-treat. Movie theatres offer the scary (sickening/bloody) entertainment. Houses are decorated with light-up skulls (i.e. rotted heads of dead people). Our science centre hangs body parts (see Haunted Hangings photo, The Morning Star, Oct 29). That has very little to do with real science. It's quite disturbing actually. Picture a real crime scene. Can we not just stick with the downtown treat trail which is similar to what the kids did in the good old days? Is it time for a reality check? Is it getting out of control and maybe too barbaric?

Attempts to retain and attract volunteer firefighters are gaining support in the North Okanagan. The City of Vernon is urging the federal government to initiate a $3,000 refundable tax credit for firefighters who volunteer more than 200 hours in a year. “Anything that encourages more volunteers in a department is overdue,” said Coun. Bob Spiers. Volunteers in Vernon and most North Okanagan communities receive pay for attending emergencies and practises. Coun. Jack Gilroy says it’s not enough to encourage people to get involved. “The training standard and the time they put in compared to the stipend they get doesn’t even out,” said Gilroy, a former firefighter. “This is a small way to show we support them.” The current tax credit is $1,000. MPs were poised to deal with a bill on the tax credit in 2008, but it fell off the table when Parliament was prorogued. The Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs is urging the federal government to take action. “Our organization has been meeting with federal politicians for some time now regarding our concerns around recruiting and retaining volunteer firefighters,” said Bruce Burrell, CAFC president. “Providing a tax credit for volunteer firefighters would go a long way in addressing those concerns.” Jeff Carlisle, Vernon fire chief, supports the campaign. “This is an initiative that needs to get through to Parliament,” he said. The association has established a website at www.givefirefighterscredit.ca. It allows Canadians to write a letter to their MP and to sign a petition. “I urge everyone to go online and support this,” said Spiers, adding that Okanagan-Shuswap MP Colin Mayes should be contacted by interested residents. Besides Vernon, the campaign has the endorsement of the North Westside Fire Department. “It’s all about recruiting and retaining volunteers for the community,” said Wayne Carson, chief of the department that covers from Westshores to La Casa. “We’re looking for public support to have the credit increased.”
Okanagan Lake so if it was cut back, we’d have to look at how to handle it,” said McNiven. The association has now entered into a planning process with the regional district. “We have all of that information from the meeting and us and the association will have to look at it, see what will fit on the site and consider the implications to any changes,” said McNiven. Cumming is optimistic mutual concerns can be addressed. “If we can keep it at a good planning stage, we should be in good shape,” he said. However, Cumming admits some residents have suggested the association — which owns the land where the launch is — possibly prevent such a use there if NORD doesn’t agree to remove it. “If push came to shove, the association could consider options,” he said.

A self-described b o r n - a g a i n Okanaganite, Laurie Carter knows a thing or two about the Okanagan, and loves to share her unique perspective with others. An enthusiastic supporter of the Okanagan Valley since her arrival from Ontario’s Niagara Peninsula in 1991, her latest book, Grandma Wears Hiking Boots, A Personal Guide to the Okanagan, is the culmination of a decade of experience of writing and shooting photos about the Okanagan for magazines, newspapers and online articles. “I love exploring the valley. I felt it was time to collect many of my experiences and present them in a single book,” said Carter, who will be at Vernon’s Bookland Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. “The Okanagan is on the map. Wine tourism, the Olympics — many factors are coming together to give the valley a national and international profile,” she said, Carter insists this isn’t a traditional guidebook. “It’s actually a hybrid – I’d say eight-parts travel lit, two-parts guidebook,” she said. “I want to give people a taste of what it’s actually like to hike our trails, visit our farms and historic sites, meet

The monthly parking fee will be $21.40 plus HST, however rates are still under review, both as part of the downtown neighbourhood plan and a general review of fees and charges.

City denies full DVA request RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The Downtown Vernon Association’s request for parking specifics has hit a roadblock. While the city will give the DVA an aerial photo of the downtown core so parking spaces can be identified, it will not provide a map showing each stall, lot numbers and revenue related to those stalls. City staff believes that such a request could be onerous on resources. “It will take in excess of 20 hours to draft (such an inventory) and up to five hours annually to update it,” said Rob
“We do not have any sinister motives.” — Ruth Hoyte Dickinson, engineering manager. Council has unanimously decided not to agree to the DVA’s request. “We could provide it if they’re willing to pay for the 20 hours of staff time,” said Coun. MaryJo O’Keefe. “We’re providing them with a written summary (of stalls) so I’m not sure why we would use staff time to
Township hosts meeting on OCP
draw maps for them?” City staff state the request from the DVA does not conform with any documents that currently exist. “We don’t try to manage parking by numbering each stall and what happens to them over time,” said Leon Gous, chief administrative officer. In a letter to the city, the DVA states that it has been asking for an
updated inventory on parking stalls and lot numbers for more than a year. “We physically see parking eliminated and are told that parking has not been impacted. lf we had an inventory, we would be able to clearly track the statements made by staff and be able to document the results for our membership,” said Ruth Hoyte, DVA president. “We could even support staff assertions regarding parking. As well, we’d like to advise our membership and their employees of where they can park. We continue to receive complaints FREE COFFEE

Morning Star Staff
Spallumcheen residents are invited to help set direction for future development in the community. A forum takes place Monday that will focus on the township’s official community plan. A short presentation and workshop will be held to review and discuss background information, along with the basics of what makes up an OCP. Officials will share results from an online survey conducted on the OCP, and approaches for addressing key issues will be discussed. The community forum will be held in Armstrong’s Centennial Hall (3305 Pleasant Valley Rd). An open house will run from 2 to 6 p.m., followed by the presentation at 6:30 p.m. A workshop and roundtable discussion will run from 7 to 9 p.m. Feedback from this public consultation process, including the results from the community survey and community forum, will be used to form a new OCP. A draft plan with community input will likely be made available in February or March of 2011. A public hearing and adoption of the OCP will likely take place in the spring.

A group of Vernon residents wants to ensure youth are safe when surfing the World Wide Web. As part of its White Ribbon campaign, the St. James Catholic Women’s League recently presented a 300-name ribbon to MP Colin Mayes. The organization is demanding that the government protect children who may be exploited by Internet predators. “It’s more of an awareness thing but I think we’re all aware of how unsafe our children are,� said Darlene Heaney, with the league. “The people who signed, they just wanted to be

The legislation could also force Internet providers to regulate sites that could put children at risk. “Society is responsible for monitoring what kids watch on the Internet and not so much what adults watch,� said Mayes.

Awareness leaves students speechless DANIKA SERAFIN Special to The Morning Star
Students at Clarence Fulton Secondary, and several other local schools, joined youth around the globe in this year’s Vow of Silence last Friday. Cassidy Steele, Taylor Weixl and myself are all Grade 11 students who went to a We Day conference in Kamloops where we were inspired by speakers from Me to We and Free the Children to bring new ideas to our school. The ideas were to raise awareness and money for global issues. We were encouraged to make a difference and show that high school kids can make things happen. So for the past couple weeks we have all been working together to make this Vow of Silence day a great success. You’re probably wondering what a Vow of Silence Day is? Well, the Vow of Silence is Free The Children’s annual fundraising and awareness-raising campaign that engages tens of thousands of participants to stand up for children whose rights are not being upheld. From Toronto to Mexico City, London to San Francisco, Beijing to Jakarta, Vancouver to Sydney and back, on Nov. 19 young people were silent for 24 hours in solidarity with children who are being silenced by poverty and exploitation. For Vow participants, being silent can mean refraining from speaking. It also means not using e-mail, Facebook, Twitter or text messaging. It can even mean not using hand gestures, note writing or any communication at all. Participants can decide what they are most comfortable doing. At Clarence Fulton our goal is to completely go silent with no speaking. To make our school unique we came up with the idea to make bandanas and sell them for $2. The bandanas will represent who is participating in our school.

Clarence Fulton Secondary Grade 11 students Cassidy Steele (left), Taylor Weixl and Danika Serafin are just a few of the local youth who participated in last week’s Vow of Silence, raising funds and awareness for children whose rights are not being upheld. We sold out – all 240 of our hand-made bandanas – raising more than $500. We are very proud of our school and so thankful that things came together! All the hard work definitely
paid off. All profits raised will go to the Free the Children organization in hopes to make a difference in our global community. We went to Fabric
Land and Value Village for their support and they were both generous enough to donate large portions of fabric to create the bandanas. After hours of cutting, sewing and ironing we
sold bandanas Nov. 16 to 18. Along with advertising help and additional fundraising from Mr. Edgar and his Grade 12 class, the day shaped up to be a great success.

Whether you are suffering through an illness or feeling lonely, there is always someone that can be comforting and give a person a sense of happiness. The St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog team will make someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day by putting some enjoyment into their lives. The community has supported the idea of having therapy dogs going to hospitals and seniors homes to cheer up people who are suffering in their lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Kiwanis program is sponsoring our therapy dog team and they have donated $1,500 towards more dogs and owners as parts of the cost goes to insurance and uniforms,â&#x20AC;? said Jeff Nelson, branch manager for the Okanagan. Since the therapy dog program was established in 1997 it has rapidly grown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The program is throughout Canada and the dogs reduce blood pressure and anxiety,â&#x20AC;? said Maureen Sieg. When the dogs visit a seniors home or hospital it brings comfort to people who are feeling lonely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only visit in a week for some and it makes them happy and they start communicating to the dogs as it brings them out,â&#x20AC;? said Leigh Ciurka, coordinator for B.C. Interior. When the therapy dogs are assigned to a home they become attached to their family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We actually had teams go to funerals because they became attached to a family,â&#x20AC;? said Ciurka. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There has been unbelievable feedback as there has been pages and pages of stories,â&#x20AC;? said Ciurka. The amount of dogs that participate in the program is great to see, said Jo-Ann Johnston,

McPhee boosts Vernon content GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
They really are starting to look like the Vernon Vipers. With this week’s addition of 6-foot-3 forward Zach McPhee, the Snakes now boast six local players on their roster (Dave Robinson, Bryce Kakoske, Colton Sparrow, Max Mowat and Trevor Fitzgerald are the others). McPhee, 17, was seeing limited playing time with the WHL Tri-City Americans, and rather than risk stagnating in major junior, he decided the B.C. Hockey League might be a better move for his development. “I wasn’t playing too much down in the States so I sat down with the coaches and thought out a plan for what would be better for me to get some playing time,” said McPhee, who had one goal in eight game with Tri-City. Having played his minor hockey in Vernon, McPhee grew up idolizing former Vipers like Dean Strong. His aunt billeted Armstrong’s Matt Waddell and Kelowna’s Kenny Magowan. He said being from Vernon has helped him understand the culture and what being a Viper is all about. “It’s definitely pressure, but it’s a pressure that I like. I’m just going to work as hard as I can to get playing time and help the team out,” said McPhee, second in scoring with the Major Midget Okanagan Rockets last season with 39 points in 36 games. “I just have to take some extra time to go over the systems with the coaches and pay attention in practice and jump into it as quick as I can.” In recent memory, the Viper squad with the next highest local content was the 2001-02 roster that featured four local boys – David Morelli and Chad Murray, both of Vernon, Waddell and Enderby’s Brad Farynuk. Knowing owner Duncan Wray’s willingness to bankroll a competitive lineup, these moves are not about saving on billeting or scouting expenses. As head coach/GM Mark Ferner notes, it has more to do with the level of grassroots hockey in Vernon. “It’s a credit to Vernon Minor Hockey. It’s not like we’ve gone out and scouted these players because they’re local kids. They’re good hockey players and they’re going to help us,” said Ferner. “The one thing I know that they know is how passionate this town is about this hockey team and the way we want to be. That helps speed up the process, especially when they’re young.” Helping McPhee’s transition to the Viper den will be former Rocket teammates Mowatt and Sparrow. Said Sparrow: “The first year we played together we were probably six or seven years old, and pretty much all the way up. He’s been one of my best friends since I was little so, it’s good to have him here.” Ferner doesn’t know much about McPhee, but likes what he’s read on the scouting report. “Everything I’ve been told is he’s a big body, skilled guy. And looking at our group, we need a little bit more of that. He’s a centreman, but he can also play the wing.”

Zach McPhee tries to deflect an incoming point shot in front of netminder Bryton Udy during Vernon Vipers’ practice Wednesday afternoon at Wesbild Centre. McPhee was reassigned to the Vipers earlier this week from the WHL Tri-City Americans. With just one week of practice, Ferner said it is too soon to determine where McPhee will fit in the lineup. He will have a better idea when the Vipers entertain the Trail Smoke Eaters tonight at Wesbild Centre. “This is more about chemistry than anything else, making sure we find the right combination,” he said. The fourth-place Vipers (14-8-1-6) trail the Smokies (19-9-0-1), who are tied for first with the Penticton Vees, by four points in the Interior. “We just got off one of our longer road trips, and I thought it was successful. We didn’t get all the points that we wanted, but our team played pretty well,” said Ferner. “We’re going to have to be close to our best against a good hockey team. They’re the highest scoring team in our division (3.80 goals for average)... so we’re going to work on some things this week and hopefully we’ll be ready.”
Meanwhile, the Vees earned a share of first place with a 4-2 win over the Merritt Centennials Wednesday night at South Okanagan Events Centre. Penticton is 19-8-0-1. In the other BCHL Wednesday nighter, the Nanaimo Clippers stunned the Powell River Kings 6-3, handing the lead-leading Kings (20-5-3-2) their third home loss of the season. In Tuesday night action, the host Westside Warriors used two goals apiece from Tyler Brickler and Kyle Singleton to bounce the Langley Chiefs 7-3. The Warriors are four points back of Vernon at 14-9-1-2. SNAKE BITES: Ferner will likely rest injured forward Pat McGillis for another week, saying, “We’ve got some healthy bodies here, so we’re not going to inject Patty back in the lineup until he’s 100 per cent.”... The Prince George Spruce Kings have fired long-time head coach Ed Dempsey, replacing him with former Williams Lake Timberwolves bench boss Dave Dupas. The Kings are last in the BCHL at 6-22-0-2.

Kozak cards T-Bird scholarship KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
As a young kid, Conner Kozak used to smack golf balls into Okanagan Lake from the family cabin on Westside Road. He would retrieve the banged up Titleists and Top-Flites with a windsurfer and goggles and hit some more. Great way to spend a summer and jumpstart a golf career which has seen the Seaton Grade 12 multi-sport athlete earn a scholarship with the UBC Thunderbirds golf team in Vancouver. Kozak looked at offers from the Oregon, Washington, Lousville and UTEP before choosing UBC, where he will study kinetics and pyschology. "I couldn't think of any reason not to pick UBC," said Kozak. "UBC's spring schedule is said to rival any top-25 NCAA Division 1 schools and they're a top-40 school academically in North America. They will be going to Washington, Hawaii, Arizona, Oregon, Nevada, California four times, Texas and Utah twice, and Illinois. I have the opportunity to get lots of playing time because of three fourth-year players graduating this year." Kozak, a Grade 12 all-star power hitter with the Sonics volleyball team, toured the T-Birds' quarters in September, and loved the team's home course at Shaughnessy. The scholarship was also enticing. "I'm pretty much looking for 80 per cent my first year and then it would go up based on my performance. I think there are nine players and five travel to each tournament." Kozak enjoyed a stellar 2010 summer season, tying for fourth at the B.C. Junior Boys Championship at the Crown Isle Golf Club in Courtenay. He missed the cut by a few strokes at the Canadian Junior Boys at the Richmond Golf & Country Club. Earlier in the summer, he shared 44th spot at the B.C. Men's Amateur Golf Championship, won by former T-Bird Cory Renfrew.

Kantz collects BCCAA Player of the Week UBC O Athletics
Jenna Kantz is one of the few senior players left over from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provincial championship UBC Okanagan Heat roster. With seven girls departing, Kantz has needed to assume a leadership role and add consistent scoring to help the young Heat defend their crown and earn the B.C. Colleges Athletic Association women's hoops Player-of-theWeek honours. Last weekend versus the Camosun Chargers of Victoria was a prime example Jenna Kantz of the Penticton product's consistent play. On Friday night, the fifth-year guard was all over the court as she scored 15 points, hauled in six rebounds, dropped five assists and had four steals to spark a 74-53 victory. In Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rematch, the Chargers shot the ball better and jumped out to an early lead, but
Kantz was able to lead the young Heat back to victory, this time hitting for a game-high 24 points, eight rebounds and five assists. Said head coach Heather Semeniuk: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am extremely pleased to see Jenna step up her role on the team. She is a gifted athlete that brings inspiring energy to the Heatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game. Jenna plays both ends of the court very well. Her speed, agility and intensity are hard to match. As a captain and the single fifth-year student-athlete on the team, Jenna will definitely shine as a leader this season.â&#x20AC;? On the men's side, 6-foot-5 rookie guard Elliot Mason of the Langara Falcons took the Player-ofthe-Week award. His ability to play a number of positions has allowed Mason to step into a starting role for the Falcons. Mason came into week three as the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second leading rebounder, averaging nine rebounds a game. He was instrumental in the Falcons winning both road games in Squamish against the Quest Kermodes.

Rinks tied in battle for Baron Skrenek shines in junior bonspiel Morning Star Staff
There is a lineup forming to serve Brad Kuhn’s North Enderby Timber an eviction notice from the Baron Insurance Super League penthouse. After Wednesday night action at the Vernon Curling Club, a trio of teams – Ty Griffith’s Nufloors, Jim Cotter’s Woodland Equipment and Dave Merklinger’s Jet Ice – share a piece of second place at 6-2, with Kuhn first at 7-1. Griffith overcame a slow start to rally past Cotter 6-5. Cotter banked three in the first end, but Griffith, using Brad Wood as a substitute skip, responded with singles in two and three and a big three-ender in the fifth to hold a one-point lead heading down the stretch. Wood delivered a clutch hit-androll to earn the win. Merklinger earned his share of second with an 8-6 win over Jenn Gerow’s Gateway Mechanical. After allowing Merklinger a two-point lead after three ends, Gerow stunned the veteran skip with four points in the fourth. That seemed to wake the Merklinger crew up as they stormed back with a deuce

TJ Perepolkin’s Canaccord Wealth Management improved to 4-5 with a 5-2 win over Kayla Gunner’s Armstrong Inn. Facing three Gunner stones in the first end, Perepolkin got great sweeping from his front end to salvage a single. Gunner (2-6) was a foot heavy on her draw attempt in two, allowing Perepolkin a steal of two. Gunner got onboard with a single in three, Perepolkin blanked four and five and traded singles the rest of the way to ride out the win. Blake Kimura’s Village Green Hotel recorded triples in ends five and seven to claim a 9-3 win over Jon Gardner’s Sladen
Moore. The two rinks traded singles in one and two before Kimura, now tied with Gardner at 4-4, opened up with a deuce in three. The veteran Kimura never allowed Gardner more than a single point in any one end. Wayne Laface’s Inspiration Homes ran Jeff Richard’s B.C. Trailers out of stones to hang on for an 8-5 win. Tied 2-2 after three ends, Laface (5-3) blew the game open with a three-ender in four and a single steal in five. Richard (0-8) made things interesting with a triple in six, but the Inspiration crew responded with a deuce in seven to put the
game away. Gardner, Gerow and Gunner will compete in the junior men’s and junior women’s regional playdowns this weekend in Salmon Arm. ■ Meanwhile, the Vernon foursome of skip Brittany Skrenek, third Jeremy Woo second Mike Skrenek and lead Courtenay Woo claimed the Intermediate division title at the Vernon Junior Curling Bonspiel last weekend at the Vernon Curling Club. In Novice play, Dakota William’s crew – Thomas Love, Jonathan Schwartz and Braden Grieve – took top honours. Kelowna’s Emslie rink won first in the Advanced division.
Canuck winger Killingbeck still in fine form at 40 Another birthday hasn't slowed down power winger Rob Killingbeck.

Rockets riding skyhigh in November Black Press Sports
Few stretches of hockey in the WHL this season can rival the Kelowna Rockets’ prolific roll through November. The play of the Spokane Chiefs over the last two weeks hasn't been too shabby, either. The Rockets have nine wins in the last 10 games, while the Chiefs have won five of their past seven – the last two over the Portland Winterhawks (3-1) and Kamloops Blazers (101) – as the teams get set to collide Saturday night in Spokane for the first time this season. Rockets’ head coach Ryan Huska said the Chiefs will offer a formidable challenge as his club looks to end the month on a winning note. "Spokane will be one of the quicker teams that we've faced in a while," said Huska. "They do a great job with their transition game, and they play aggressive without taking a lot of penalties. It'll be a good test for our guys." The two clubs head into the weekend with 26 points apiece and are in the midst of one of the tightest races the Western Conference has ever seen. Excluding first-place Portland, a mere four points separates the other nine teams in the conference. "It's going to be fun," Huska said.
"It should go right down to the end of the year. Watching the standings right now is kind of a futile exercise. With everything so tight, you can't afford to have a bad stretch. We've put ourselves back in the mix and now we have to keep building on that." The Rockets (13-11-0-1) are fresh off a 6-1 win over the Regina Pats Wednesday, their fifth straight on home ice. Forward Geordie Wudrick's hot streak continued as the 20-year-old forward scored three times. The 6-foot-3 winger, who had a shaky start to the season, has erupted for nine goals in November. "He's been a different player over the last couple weeks, there's an energy and drive back in his game that wasn't there before," Huska said. "He must be feeling good about his game, and our hockey club is sure benefitting from that." Kelowna's next home action is Wednesday, Dec. 1 against the Seattle Thunderbirds.

News Panel makes right call
O
ne of British Columbia’s key economic drivers is the mining sector. Before a mine can be developed there is a rigorous environmental assessment review. The province requires a review that takes into account not only the environmental impact of the proposed mine, but also the net economic value of the development to the province. The government of Canada has a review panel under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Colin Mayes Act which also reviews the environmental assessment of the development. The federal review panel has reviewed two large B.C. mining proposals over the last few years. The panel’s mandate is to review the ecological and environmental impact of the proposal but does not take into account the net economic value to the economy of the proposal. On Nov. 2, Environment Minister Jim Prentice released the decision of the panel’s review, as well as cabinet’s decision, on the findings. The Mount Milligan mine near Prince George has been granted federal authorization. However, the Prosperity mine project, near Williams Lake, was not. In a time when our province needs jobs and economic activity it was disappointing not to see both go forward, but your government has the responsibility to be stewards of the environment for all Canadians as well as support wealth creation for our economic well being. All development by man has an environmental impact, but some of those impacts can be mitigated by planned reclamations and a responsible mining plan. The Prosperity project did not meet the requirements of the review panel resulting in their recommendation to cabinet to reject the authorization. The review was extensive and was conclusive. I report this information as a testimony that your government in Ottawa is honouring our commitment to protect the environment on your behalf. We will not compromise that trust for economic reasons. The wealth of the Prosperity deposit may be developed in the future if the applicant is able to develop the project within alternate mining plan
MP REPORT
Coast to Coast
that would meet the approval of the review panel. Once in production, the Mount Milligan development will provide 600 jobs during construction and 300 full time jobs. This is great news for the area of Prince George that has suffered job losses in the forestry sector. Both these decisions are good news for British Columbians.

Tevye (Stephen Favell) tries to come to terms with his eldest daughter Tzeitel (Alysha BrĂťlĂŠ) and her relationship with tailor Motel (Brendan Hanley) in Kal Secondary Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation of Fiddler on the Roof. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From a teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective, doubling (the roles) is fantastic,â&#x20AC;? said Thomas, who says his students have met the challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are learning to communicate to each other and their realizations are doubled... None of the characters are carbon copies of each other.â&#x20AC;? The students say they are also enjoying the experience of taking on roles so removed from their lives, but that still tell an important message. Stephen Favell, who has been working on his accent to play Tevye, says he has noticed that like the musical, it seems the older characters have accents, while the younger ones donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is something special, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the performance of my career so far,â&#x20AC;? said the Grade 11 student.
Grade 12 student Brendan Hanley says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been an education not only taking on two very different roles, but learning about the â&#x20AC;&#x153;oldâ&#x20AC;? ways, and he has family members to use as source material. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Thomas has been helping us get into character. For one, Lazar Wolf, I have been using my grandfather, who was Russian, as inspiration... For the other character (Motel Kamzoil), I get to play a hopeless romantic,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is about the new generation struggling with tradition and the older generation trying to maintain tradition.. It has issues and an essence that applies to all ages.â&#x20AC;? Grade 10 student Alysha BrĂťlĂŠ (who plays eldest daughter Tzeitel, betrothed to Lazar the butcher,
but is in love with her childhood friend Motel, a tailor) agrees, saying Fiddler definitely has a message for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you take charge of your life, you can do anything... You can choose now, and not be forced into something you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do,â&#x20AC;? she said. The MusiKAL theatre class presents Fiddler on the Roof at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 1 to Saturday, Dec. 4 and Dec. 8 through Dec. 11. Matinees take place Thursday, Dec. 2 at 9 a.m., and Dec. 4 at 2 p.m. Kalamalka Secondary is located at 7900 McClounie Rd., Coldstream. Admission is $7/adult, $5 student/ senior.

Arts Event in aid of Kenyan project Kingfisher Hall is the home of a Canadian/Kenyan cultural exchange happening Sunday. The fourth annual Akonjo fundraiser celebrates the music, stories and dances of these two nations. Performing this year will be Kenyan musician/actor Jimmy Ouma Okello, One Camel Short, Popoleko Singers, Jacob Verberg, Philip Wesle and others. “As usual at Kingfisher, the audience can get into the act. Jimmy Ouma will teach a Luo folk dance with live
drumming,” said organizer Murray MacDonald. Visitors are also welcome to browse the silent auction and enjoy a delicious dessert. Doors open at 1 p.m. and entertainment begins at 1:30 p.m. Kingfisher Hall is located 33 kilometres east of Enderby on Mabel Lake Road. Admission is $12/adults, $7/students, and $30/families.

Dub digs up soulful outing Black Dub
C
anadian musician/producer Daniel Lanois (whose credits are too numerous to name) has assembled a group of stellar players to form a tuned-in, turned-on soul/rock group called Black Dub. The four-piece band, consisting of multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Trixie Whitley (daughter of the late Chris Whitley), bassist Daryl Johnson, drummer Brian Blade and Lanois, is a multinational project that sounds like it has intuitive collaboraDean Gordon-Smith tors bent on atmospherics and groove. Lanois (guitar, keys and vocals) brings his textural smarts and folky leanings to dark and choppy rhythms to create a free-form feel that is distinctly analog in a digital age. The band and the recording sound murky, dark and warm. The music is rich in low end and layerings. The trademarks of Lanois’ sound are everywhere: the echoing guitars of U2 recordings and the subtle washes of reverb and ringing instruments he used with Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris, and Robbie Robertson. The off-beat methods employed by Lanois on Neil Young’s latest album, Le Noise, are also here in trippy glory. Pristine sounds aren’t priority with Black Dub, depth and vibe are. Black Dub begs, no, demands repeated listening to “get” it. At first listen, the songs appear loose and meandering, but interesting. After that, you can feel that there’s something there. Vocalist Whitley rides over the spooky soundscapes like a dosed gospel shouter, and charges the jam-friendly tracks with a bluesy edge. She has a powerful voice that projects far into the songs
STREET SOUNDS
with minimal output; a jazz-like approach minus the showboating and wanking. The group moves into a soulful blues/folk ambiance that snatches sections of electric church music to inspire the songs (Nomad, Silverado). The most exciting and soothing track in that vein is Canaan, where the mood comes down like a backwoods revival. Having Lanois around means some controlled experimentation, hence Sirens and Ring the Alarm. These are tasteful cuts of expression though, and help create the dreamy pocket that’s the album’s identity. Black Dub is a creative, solid album that is rich in character and colourful songs; a mood-driven disc with subtle energy.

Raising optimistic kids
W
e want more for our children than healthy bodies. We want them to have lives filled with friendship and love and challenges. We also want them to be resilient in the face of the setbacks that are an inevitable part of growing up. However, an obstacle is eroding our children’s natural state of activity and optimism and that is pessimism. Psychologist Martin Seligman has conducted research suggesting that we are in the midst of an epidemic of pessimism and suffering its most serious conseDr. Tina Rochford quence; depression. Seligman targets the contemporary self-esteem movement as a factor which has unwittingly contributed to the problem of pessimistic children. While striving to bolster children’s self-esteem is a laudable goal, the emphasis on how a child feels, at the expense of what a child does, can make a child more vulnerable to pessimism and depression. Seligman believes that praise, in the absence of real achievement or mastery on the part of the child, will soon be ignored as insincere flattery. If children are indiscriminately and lavishly praised for all endeavours, whether successful or not, they soon learn the difference between real and false achievement. The roots of genuine self-esteem lie in a sense of mastery or the realization that “I can do it!” For example, much to their delight, two children are given the biggest Lego set they have ever seen. They both immediately sit on the floor and begin to assemble a spaceship. As the older sister quickly and methodically puts the pieces together, the younger brother strives to emulate her. He is several years younger, can’t keep up with his older sister, and becomes increasingly agitated as each section he builds falls apart. Dad, whose heart is in the right place, assures him that his spaceship is “wonderful, the best ever made,” etc. However, the younger brother knows that his ship is not wonderful and, even worse, concludes that not only can he not build a spaceship, but “I can’t do anything right.” A more helpful response, on the part of Dad, might be to explain to his young son that his sister is older and that he will build sturdier structures when he is older. Dad could also validate his son’s feelings, making it clear that he understands how badly his son feels. There is nothing inherently wrong in failing; it may deflate self-esteem for awhile, but it is not catastrophic. Finally, it is

Brenda Sword of Created Differently, dips a teddy bear in scented wax to make one of the room air fresheners she will have at the Shoparama Holiday Gift Sale.
Crafting a gift CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
It all started with making gifts for family, friends and her children’s teachers. Now Brenda Sword has her own business, Created Differently, and she’s busy getting ready for the Shoparama Holiday Gift Sale. “At first I did beaded jewelry, painted glass ware and garden stones. Friends suggested I make some to sell and I kept having more and more ideas,” she said. She has always had a creative side, doing crafts with the children she baby sat as a teenager and putting her good ideas to work in jobs with non-profit fundraising. She moved to Vernon from Ontario recently and brought her jeans and boots planters to the Vernon Farmers Market where people loved them and asked for more. “It snowballed from there. I make everything as eco-friendly as possible. I call what I do up-cycling, that is, something may not be used for its original purpose but it is made into something even better. I support the non-profit thrift stores and they love
to see me coming,” said Sword, who has been attending craft shows all around the area. She’ll have the jeans planters and painted glass at the Shoparama, as well as a new favourite: waxed, scented teddy bears and other stuffed animals to be used as air fresheners. “People love to give these as gifts because it is something different,” she said. “The magazine purses are really popular, too. They’re made with folded, woven strips, belts for handles and buttons and brooches for clasps. I always like to see a different way of creating everything. Crafting is so much fun. I just can’t wait for Shoparama.” The Shoparama Holiday Gift Sale features entertainment, a visit from Santa, door prizes and a concession. Admission is free but unwrapped toys for the KISS-FM Santa Toy Club or a donation for the Food Bank are appreciated. Shoparama takes place at the Vernon Recreation Centre auditorium and gymnasium Dec. 4 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Dec. 5 to 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information call Ingrid Baron at 250-542-5983 or ingridbaron3@shaw.ca.

crucial that Dad counter his son’s faulty generalization that “I can’t do anything right.” Dad could point out and encourage his son to identify tasks that he does well. Building a strong Lego spaceship must be put into the perspective of a lifetime of learning new challenges; some of which will be met with temporary failure, some of which will be mastered easily and some of which may never be mastered. Seligman views these techniques as providing a kind of psychological immunization for children against pessimism and later depression. In fact, Seligman’s work was inspired by his childhood hero, Jonas Salk, who pioneered the use of Polio vaccine for immunizing children. In addition, Seligman describes our “feel good” society in which we strive to avoid feelings of anger, sadness and anxiety as a source of pessimism and depression in children. While these feelings are painful, they also serve a number of useful functions. They can signal that something is wrong and goad us to take action. Matching oneself against a challenge just barely within one’s grasp can also lead to a positive state, often referred to as “flow.” It might occur when skating without holding a parent’s hand for the first time or printing one’s own name correctly or even taking those first steps as a baby. As young children instinctively know, life without anxiety or challenge is not the good life; it is a life devoid of flow. Negative feelings also help to build persistence. For example, in order for a child to learn to ride a bicycle it is necessary to fail, to feel badly and to try repeatedly until success occurs. Children learn the value of persistence. The sense of mastery experienced by the child is exhilarating for the child and a real joy for the parents to observe! Seligman concludes that by cushioning feeling bad, we have made it harder for our children to feel good and to experience “flow.” By circumventing feelings of failure, we have made it more difficult for them to experience mastery. By blunting warranted sadness and anxiety, we may be putting our children at risk for unwarranted depression. Seligman, in closing, quotes from The Good Luck Pony (Koda-Callan). “You were determined and stuck with it. That was what brought you luck, said her instructor. From then on the little girl wore the Good Luck Pony every time she went riding...it reminded her that it was her own effort that brought her luck. And from that day on she never forgot it.” Dr. Rochford conducts a private counselling practice in Vernon. Contact her at 250-309-4252.

It’s a labour of love for artisans Morning Star Staff
Terry and John Dunstan have a true love for stained glass. Terry started crafting with glass when she was a stay-at-home-mom and is self-taught, after John bought her the tools and an instruction book for her birthday more than 20 years ago. John became interested after watching Terry for about a month. “What started out as a hobby has evolved into so much more than we ever imagined,” said Terry. “We feel very lucky to be able to work at a job that we enjoy so much and to be able to share that with others.” The couple’s business, T.J. Homecrafts Stained Glass, has a retail store and studio located in the Spallumcheen Valley, just outside of Armstrong. As well as an excellent selection of finished items, such as sun-catchers, fused glass, jewellery, mirrors and panels, T.J. Homecrafts Stained Glass has the largest selection of stained glass supplies, tools, books, and hot glass supplies in the Okanagan/ Shuswap. Terry sold their work at the Vernon and Armstrong farmers markets for many years. While at the markets people began asking Terry if she could bring in supplies for them — and that was the beginning of what is now the most well-stocked stained glass store in the Okanagan. “We try to stock everything our customers want or need, and carry many items that can’t be found anywhere else in B.C,” she said. John retired a few years ago and now joins Terry in the store. “It is wonderful to be able to not only have a common interest in stained glass, but to be able to work together at something we both enjoy. It is great to be able to bounce ideas off each other,” said Terry. T.J. Homecrafts Stained Glass also offers several in-depth classes ranging from beginner and introductory classes for the novice, to more

Homecrafts Stained Glass will be at the Okanagan Artisans Guild 31st Annual Show & Sale this weekend. advanced classes for those who would like to take their work in a new direction. Studio rentals allow those who already have some experience to work in the studio using their tools. “We teach stained glass classes at our studio in Armstrong, at the Vernon Community Arts Centre and the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre. We also offer mini workshops for people who just want to make a couple of small projects. “A project can be as simple or as elaborate as you like and the nice thing about it, unlike some hobbies, you never get bored — there is such variety in what
you can do with stained glass, such as windows, sun-catchers, mirrors, boxes, lamps, mosaics and garden art. Then there is fusing, which is melting the glass in a kiln to make jewellery, plates, bowls and vases, among other things. You can also make glass beads by melting glass in the flame of a bead-
makers torch,” said Terry. “I have many people comment that while they are working on a project they become so immersed in what they are doing that all their worries slip away; and even pain seems to lessen. There is tremendous satisfaction starting with a basic pattern
and finishing up with a beautiful stained glass piece. “We become friends with most of our customers and really enjoy seeing their excitement over something they have made, when they bring in the finished project or a picture of it to show us. Their joy is our joy.” The Dunstans and T.J. Homecrafts Stained Glass will be available at the Okanagan Artisans Guild 31st Annual Show & Sale at the Best Western Vernon Lodge today from noon to 9 p.m. and Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. They can be contacted at 250-546 3866 or see www.tjhomecrafts.com.

One of the earliest ice wine harvests on record in the Okanagan Valley got underway Monday and Tuesday, just weeks after the regular grape harvest finished. It was a particularly late harvest of grapes for table wines, particularly the late varieties, which growers were challenged to fully ripen due to this year’s unusual weather, and it’s a very early cold snap that is subsequently permitting the harvest of ice wine grapes.

expenditures that are reduced under HST, such as disposable diapers, hotel rooms and business phone services. This would be administratively as well as politically impossible. In short, Vander Zalm’s proposal can’t be done, and the refund he dangled doesn’t exist. It’s too bad more people didn’t understand this before they signed the petition. So if you vote Yes next fall, you will still pay the federal GST, and you will get back some form of the old PST, once the provincial government rehires hundreds of tax staff transferred to the federal government. A finance ministry briefing memo, released last week, points out that if B.C. flip-flops and brings back the PST, businesses might leave the province. Some firms that signed contracts based on HST input tax credits may sue the government to recover their losses. B.C.’s reputation as a stable place to invest will be damaged. Then there is the personal income tax cut, which like the HST is intended to attract
investment and jobs. Hansen has already notified the Canada Revenue Agency of the 15 per cent reduction, so the income tax deducted from your paycheque will be reduced starting Jan. 1. That tax cut will put about $600 mil-
lion a year into the B.C. consumer economy, a stimulus that will show up in government revenues. But the ministry forecasts it will be several years before growth fills the revenue hole. Hansen insisted that
even with the income tax cut, the B.C. government can still get out of deficit by 2013 and have some “flexibility” in this spring’s budget. All this of course rests on the assumption of an economy growing and recovering from
recession. Indulging in the latest wacky B.C. political protest would almost certainly weaken that recovery. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

well above what a basic minimum wage would provide for, and B.C. has the lowest provincial minimum wage, Hasselback said. As for public health
policy, the review of children’s health determinants also reveals the government’s shift away from funding preventative medicine and social programs is having a
serious impact. From lower breastfeeding rates, to a two percent increase in the number of babies born prematurely, to a recent increase in the number
of women who go into pregnancy obese, these signs indicate more of an emphasis needs to be put on public health information, education and supports.

ICBC offers tips for staying safe on winter roads Morning Star Staff
With below-freezing temperatures across B.C. set to turn into substantial snowfall by tomorrow, and then perhaps rain and black ice on the roads by the weekend, ICBC has these following tips to help you stay safe on the roads: â&#x2013; Equip your vehicle: ICBC issued an information bulletin to answer customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; questions about winter tires and insurance, but preparing your vehicle for winter driving comes down to much more than just choice of tires. â&#x2013; Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use cruise control on slippery roads; check your tire pressure as they can deflate quickly in the cold; low-beam lights are more effective in the snow; and keep your gas tank full to prevent freezing in extreme temperatures. Keep a blanket in your car just in case you are unfortunate enough to get stranded in these wintery conditions. You can find more
tips on icbc.com. While preparing vehicles for winter driving is vital, nothing is more important than adjusting our behaviour as drivers. When we see a speed limit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; say, 90km on a highway â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the limit in ideal road conditions. Conditions right now are not ideal so slow down and leave more space between you and other vehicles on the road to give you the time and distance needed to best avoid any potential hazards. One of the most challenging road hazards at this time of year is black ice â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s virtually impossible to see ahead of time, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important to slow down and try and anticipate whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ahead by seeing how the vehicles around you are moving on the road. While it can be a natural reaction to slam on the brakes, the best thing you can do is try and slow your vehicle down to regain traction
â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ease off the accelerator and shift to a lower gear if possible. If you need to use the brake, be aware of the differences between
using standard and ABS brakes. If you are unfortunate enough to be in a crash we know it can be a
frightening and stressful situation, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dedicated in providing a hassle-free experience and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re available 24 hours
a day, seven days a week, to assist our customers. Customers can reach us on our Dial-a-Claim line by calling 1-800-910-
4222. Download ICBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Claims Card to help you record the information you need at the scene of a crash.

MACKENZIES’
Horoscope BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL Something you’ve desired for an exceptionally long time has excellent chances of becoming a reality in the near future. Once you get things rolling, others will step into the fold and do things for you that you can’t do alone.
PUZZLE NO. 203
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Be mindful of your past experiences or those of your companions when plotting a course of action. Don’t allow someone with little knowledge do the thinking or direct the group.
ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 203
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Don’t hesitate to request a favor from someone you helped in the past. This person has been looking for a way to reciprocate, and will jump at the chance to do so for you.
HOW TO PLAY: Fill-in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once. Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: you must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box. 100306

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Because of your open and honest manner, others will be drawn to you and will feel free to share some of their confidential fears or desires that they dare not tell others. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) It’ll be the effective manner in which you apply yourself that has you accomplishing feats that, in most cases, are far too difficult for many of your associates to attempt. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Set aside adequate time to socialize with some friends, because it would do you more good than usual. Whether you’ve had a hectic week or a quiet one, having some fun will get your juices flowing. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Although the benefits that come your way may be minor, they are likely to be the first signs of growth from those financial seeds you planted. More is on its way.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Because you’ll be more relaxed than usual, with a focus on enjoying yourself, you’ll tend to captivate your audience and be received especially well by friends both old and new. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You can accomplish anything your imagination allows and/ or what you determine to be important to you. You’ll be specific about what you want to achieve, and will focus on only that. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) If there is someone whom you want to get to know better, try to make arrangements to entertain this person in a convivial environment, where friendship can blossom without interference. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Rewards for certain past actions are likely to be realized at long last. Depending upon your actions, gains could either be substantial from meritorious effort or minimal if you don’t do your best.
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.

Sleep Apnea & Snoring Do you snore? Are you sleepy during the day?
Moderately Confused
Are you overweight, have high blood pressure or diabetes?
Bridge by Phillip Alder North opened with a weak two-bid, South inquired with an artiďŹ cial two no-trump, and North indicated a suit headed by the A-K-Q. You have seven top tricks: two spades, two hearts and three diamonds. So only two more diamond winners are needed to take nine tricks. In a team event, you just want to make your contract, so, at trick two, lead a diamond from your hand and play low from the dummy. Assuming diamonds are not 5-0, this costs an overtrick if they are 3-2, but saves your contract if they are 4-1. In a pair tournament, though, your score is compared with that of every other North-South pair. You must try to outscore them; overtricks
are important. And since a 3-2 split will happen 67.8 percent of the time, you should play dummyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diamonds from the top. Do not take the safety-play. If you have never played duplicate, give it a try. It is fun, and afterward you can ask others what they did on the same deals that you played.
Come and see what is new in CPAP treatment 6W
If you play duplicate bridge, you will know that there are two scoring systems used far more than any other: international match points (in team tournaments) and matchpoints (in pair events). Do the differences bafďŹ&#x201A;e you? If so, you can gain enlightenment from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Different Games, Different Strategiesâ&#x20AC;? by Augie Boehm (HNB Publishing). The book contains 10 chapters comparing the various bidding strategies, and 13 on card play. In this deal from the book, you are in three notrump. West leads the heart jack. How would you play when overtricks are unimportant? What would be your plan when overtricks might be valuable?
