Sports complex pitched for college RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Greater Vernon residents are being urged to help sell the benefits of a proposed sports facility. The North Okanagan Regional District has entered into a 40-year lease with Okanagan College to use 10 acres at the Kalamalka campus for a running track, sports field and other activities. However, a number of obstacles must be overcome first, including going to referendum to borrow $7.8 million. “We need to answer people’s concerns and talk to them about why this is a benefit,” said Jim Garlick, Coldstream mayor, adding that there is a need for residents to rally around the project. “Go out and talk to your friends and neighbours and think about why this makes sense.” The plan calls for an Olympic-size, rubberized running track; an artificial turf field for football, soccer, rugby and field lacrosse; facilities for highjumping, pole-vault and discus-throwing; covered seating for 400 spectators; a 4,575-square-foot field house with change rooms; and a 1,948-square-foot building with washrooms and meeting space. However, there is no timeline for a referendum or construction as Coldstream council must first submit an application to the Agricultural Land Commission to allow for a non-conforming use within the Agricultural Land Reserve. Council is expected to discuss the matter as early as Monday, and Garlick supports the land being

Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick speaks passionately about the proposed new community use sports facility Tuesday at Okanagan College. The new facility would sit between the college parking lot and Highway 97, and feature an Olympic-sized running track and an artificial turf field. used for recreational activities. “It’s part of the college, it’s not under irrigation and the potential for pure agriculture is limited,” he said, adding that it hasn’t been used for crops in decades. “It would be too simplistic to say it’s agriculture and we have to leave it as agriculture.” Concern among some residents about the loss of agricultural land played a role in a sports complex being shot down on Aberdeen Road in 2007. However, Garlick doesn’t expect the same debate about the current proposal. “It’s a different location and facility. It’s smaller

and it fits the community better,” he said, pointing out that it is some distance from homes and has highway access. Garlick is also convinced the sports facility can act as a catalyst for growth at the college, including new programs and a demonstration farm. “I want agriculture taught at the college,” he said. There is the possibility that a referendum could be held in conjunction with civic elections in November 2011. Borrowing $7.8 million would work out to about $17 extra annually over 20 years for the average home in Greater Vernon. Okanagan College offi-

“This is great for the youth of the community.” — Bill Tarr cials believe the facility could benefit students by providing recreational and competitive opportunities. “It’s also possible that we could look at running athletic development programs,” said president Jim Hamilton. The prospect of an Olympic-sized track is good news for the Vernon Amateur Athletic Association. “This will be a Mondo track and in the track world, that’s fast,” said

Ian Cameron, with the Vernon Amateur Athletic Association. The current track at Polson Park is not regulation size, and Cameron says the new facility could be used by youth, senior athletes, Special Olympics and recreational walkers, and it could host special events. “The B.C. Summer Games would be a great thing for the community to hold,” he said. The lack of a regulation-sized field has also

Other groups supporting the facility are the Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre for offseason training, the Vernon Jubilee Hospital cardio program, the Kal Rats running club and the school district. Wayne Lippert, Vernon mayor, says it’s important for football and track sports to move ahead. “I support the facility but council has not talked about it. The college is a good site for the facility,” he said.

Vandals target several cars Morning Star Staff

Vernon RCMP are looking for public information after a rash of tire-slashing incidents Monday night. Numerous vehicles had tires slashed or punctured in various spots around the city, while eight vehicles were targeted in the 2000 block of 24th Avenue. “It would appear the vehicle involved in this senseless act of vandalism pulled up alongside the vehicles as there were no foot impressions in the fresh snow,” said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. Vehicles were vandalized at the Vernon Square Mall parking lot, Village Green Mall parking lot, Landing Plaza and Walmart. One vehicle at the BX Ranch Park on BX Road had all four tires damaged. All of the incidents happened between 7 and 11 p.m., and police believe all of the incidents are related.

Nicol’s duties come to an end RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

One of the North Okanagan’s most familiar voices is no longer on the airwaves. Patrick Nicol’s duties as general manager at Kiss FM have come to an end. “I really can’t say much because we’re in negotiations,” he said of talks between himself and the radio station’s parent company, Pattison Broadcasting Group. “I’m trying to get it over and move on.” Nicol had been at the staPatrick Nicol tion — formerly known as CJIB — for 39 years and had been general manager for about 23 years. He was also an on-air personality and hosted a variety of programs over the years, including Saturday Kiss Classics and Talk Back. Nicol also used his position to support a number of charitable organizations in the community. Officials with Pattison Broadcast Group would not discuss Nicol’s departure. “I have no comment,” said president Rick Arnish when contacted by The Morning Star. Nicol is a longtime councillor with the City of Vernon.

“There were no foot impressions in the snow.”

3408 31st Avenue, Vernon

— Gord Molendyk The tire vandalism on East Hill happened in a 90-minute span between 8:30 and 10 p.m. One report indicates the suspects may be men in their late teens or early 20s, driving a newer-model beige Ford Taurus. Anybody with any information on these incidents is asked to call the RCMP at 250-545-7171, or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or www. nokscrimestoppers.com.

Officials remove vehicles from road Morning Star Staff

Eight commercial vehicles were taken out of service for safety reasons during a week-long joint North Okanagan traffic check. Members of North Okanagan Traffic Services and the Integrated Road Safety Unit worked with commercial vehicle inspectors checking 379 vehicles over a three-day period. “In total, our police officers and commercial vehicle inspectors along with a Transport Canada inspector worked a total of 298 person-hours at the road check,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “They did not let the cold weather

deter them. They were out during the coldest weather of this winter season last week.” A total of 54 drivers were issued a written notice and order to make repairs to their vehicles and 35 tickets were issued for assorted infractions. ■ Over the weekend, local police noted six liquor-related driving infractions. Two people were charged with impaired driving and two 24-hour suspensions were issued. Two people were given a 24-hour suspension that resulted in a 30-day vehicle impound and a 90-day license suspension.

Mountain bike stolen from store ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

An early-morning break-in Tuesday at a Vernon sporting goods store netted a thief a high-end mountain bike. Vernon RCMP were alerted to an alarm at Stussi Sport in the 4800 block of Silver Star Road shortly after 2:30 a.m. Somebody used a sledgehammer to smash a window and make off

with a Rocky Mountain mountain bike with Rockshox, Neckbrace and Intense Tracer bicycle frame. Bike tracks from the store were followed to the Walmart area before they disappeared. Anybody with any information on the theft is asked to call the RCMP detachment at 250-545-7171, or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477) or www.nokscrimestoppers.com.

To satisfy the sweet tooth and the need for vitamin C, in 1880 Canada began importing mandarin oranges. They arrived on Vancouver’s shores each November and were quickly unloaded and then shipped east by rail. “Orange Trains” - trains with boxcars painted orange - alerted everyone along the way that the irresistible oranges from abroad were back again for the holidays. For many, the arrival of the mandarin orange signalled the real beginning of the holiday season.

Lake Country MLA supports Abbott ALISTAIR WATERS Black Press

Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick has thrown his support behind Liberal leadership hopeful George Abbott. Letnick said he is backing Abbott because he believes the former health and education minister has the respect of many inside and outside the Liberal party and the “tenacity and vision to move this province forward.” “He’s a great listener

The Liberals will pick a new leader next February. The new leader will be faced with several pressing issues, including the public’s anger over the HST, calls for a raise in the minimum wage — something Stillwell and Abbott say they support — and a large provincial budget deficit. But Letnick said Abbott is up to the task. “He is the voice of reason in cabinet and has the ability to con-

George Abbott has received an influx of endorsements in his bid for the Liberal leadership. B.C. Young Liberal vice-presidents Maz Artang, Shahin Behroyan and Lindsay Gardner, and past-president Chris Sandve, are supporting the Shuswap MLA. “George Abbott will unite our party and our province because he listens and works hard to reach out to the grassroots,” said Gardner. “I know that he will work hard to advocate for young people and their priorities.” Artang, Behroyan, Gardner and Sandve represent the entire membership of the BCYL executive with the exception of president Donny van Dyk who must remain neutral due to his position on the party executive.

Fire chief recruitment to begin RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Efforts to recruit Vernon’s new fire chief are heating up. The city will start advertising for the soon-to-be vacant position in the next few days. “We expect there will be enough applicants to choose from,” said Leon Gous, chief administrative officer. Jeff Carlisle is leaving Vernon to become Kelowna’s fire chief starting Jan. 4. It’s believed the recent recruitment process in Kelowna may benefit Vernon. “Hopefully a lot of the people who applied in Kelowna will apply here,” said Gous.

Foothills alert lifted Morning Star Staff

Residents of a Vernon neighbourhood can resume regular water consumption. The construction of the Kalamalka Lake– Duteau Creek interconnect line was completed late Monday and the request for Foothills residents to reduce water use was rescinded. “The utility thanks those customers who altered their water use during this time,” said Al Cotsworth, with the North Okanagan Regional District. It was expected that the project wouldn’t be done until late Tuesday. “Following project completion, these works will significantly reduce the risk of a water supply outage to Greater Vernon,” said

Cotsworth. “These works will allow the utility to place Kalamalka Lake water into the Duteau system or Duteau water into the Kalamalka system when conditions warrant.”

“We are trying to see who was on their short list.” Recent downsizing in Penticton may also lead to resumes being submitted here, added Gous. Another factor that may assist with hiring is the North Okanagan’s lifestyle and people wanting to live in Vernon, particularly before they retire. “A lot of them are seasoned chiefs and in the last five or six years of their careers,” said Gous of potential applicants. But Gous admits that some of the applicants may also come from existing Vernon firefighters who are interested in moving into administration. “My suspicion is we will see a couple of those,” he said.

All need to be on board

t was a rare show of celebration amidst the political infighting that is Greater Vernon. Seated at Okanagan College Tuesday were four Coldstream councillors, the two BX directors and the North Okanagan Regional District board chairperson. However, there was one glaring absence as plans were unveiled for a sports complex. No one from the City of Vernon was present, although Mayor Wayne Lippert, who is also Greater Vernon Advisory Committee chairperson, was scheduled to speak. When asked why he wasn’t there, Lippert admitted to a break down in communications. “It was an invitation we missed on our end,” he said. “I get lots of invitaRichard Rolke tions and it fell through the cracks.” I’m the first one to admit that I have forgot appointments, but this situation with Lippert was extremely unfortunate. After all, groups such as track and field, and football have been lobbying for adequate facilities since an earlier proposal in Coldstream was shot down in 2007. Without a regulationsized track and sports field, athletes of all ages face obstacles and any attempts to bolster the economy through tournaments will flounder. By leasing land from the college, NORD can meet the long-term needs of local residents, while the Kalamalka campus can branch out into sports-related education and develop recreational activities that will draw more students. The city’s participation in this initiative is critical as it has the largest population and tax base in Greater Vernon. Any attempts to borrow $7.8 million for construction will not fly without Vernon.

Beyond explaining why he missed the press conference, Lippert has some thoughts on how the event was apparently organized. “Coldstream wanted to control all of this and how it was presented,” he said. “They wanted to control how it went out to the media and the public.” Now I don’t know what went on behind the scenes, but the advisory notifying the media of the event came from Okanagan College and it stated, “College, Regional District of the North Okanagan to hold press conference.” There was absolutely no mention of Coldstream. And in terms of how the conference unfolded — Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick was the fourth speaker (he would have been fifth if Lippert was there). Artist designs were unveiled by NORD chairman Herman Halvorson and OC president Jim Hamilton. Given that the college is in Coldstream and the municipality is responsible for land use matters, it’s reasonable that Coldstream play an active role in the announcement. However, there was no clear indication that one jurisdiction was promoted at the expense of another. Lippert insists that he supports the proposed complex, but he also points out that his council hasn’t discussed the matter yet. That comment fuels concern that the city may not be that committed to the path charted by NORD. Coldstream was accused of forgoing a broad regional focus when the Aberdeen Road project failed in 2007. But it could be the city’s reputation at risk this time around if it’s perceived to be standing in the way of the public interest. Given the benefits a sports complex at the college could provide socially and economically, Vernon council must do everything possible to bring its constituents on board. If residents perceive that the politicians are divided, a referendum is doomed for failure. And then we’ll be right back at square one again.

And B.C.’s next premier will be… Not up to you. Average voters will have no say in selecting Premier Gordon Campbell’s successor unless they are card-carrying members of the B.C. Liberals in time for its convention in February. Thanks to our version of democracy, this province’s most powerful political position will be won by a candidate who convinces the largest number of Liberal members. Thanks to our brand of democracy, the general populace will have no vote in who will lead us before the next general election in 2013. Conceding that the Liberals won the majority share in the last provincial election, it could be argued that the average nonpartisan voter should be willing to accept a replacement not too unlike Campbell. But this would neglect to note that since Campbell was elected to his third term, his popularity has plummeted, thanks in no small share to the botched implementation of the HST. Even strong former Campbell supporters are careful to distance themselves from the most unpopular perceptions of the premier. It appears the criteria for leadership of the party – and the premiership – is to effect a balancing act, convincing enough people that you are ‘old’ and ‘new,’ at the same time, or perhaps ‘the same, only different.’ Not, mind you, that we – the electorate – are the ones who should be convinced. Instead, it’s party members who have to be sold on the candidate they think is the most acceptable – or least unacceptable – to the voters come 2013. They – and we, it seems – have been wrong before. — Peach Arch News

Help, healing and horses

have been a resident of the Vernon area for over 20 years and have become increasingly aware of the need for community projects to help the unfortunate attain a quality of life equal to those who take their's for granted. I believe that the Kin Race Track is a place where we could create a reconnection to life. Good health both physically and mentally could be created for the homeless with shelter from the inclement weather being provided in the barns. With involvement of other community members we could fill the barn with unwanted horses and our homeless. Give the homeless a place to lay their heads in a stall next to a horse they can care for by feeding, grooming and exercising their assigned horse.

I am sure we could find community members who would help us build them carts and harnesses for their horses so they could take travelers about our fine city by buggy, cart or even wagon providing green energy sources for transportation, a decrease in the number of cars in the downtown as we could get there by horse and buggy

THANK YOU The Royal Canadian Legion gives its thanks to the residents of Greater Vernon who proudly wore poppies in commemoration of Remembrance Day and demonstrated once again that it is a caring community supporting our veterans and charities. Our thanks go to all facets of the community including individuals, clubs, and organizations who laid wreathes at the Wesbild Centre on Nov. 11 in homage to our fallen comrades. We congratulate our schools and teachers who instructed students in the significance of Canada's Day of Remembrance and for creating individual Remembrance Day ceremonies, often attended by a veteran as a speaker. Our thanks also go to the many businesses who provided venues for our canvassers. The Poppy Campaign was ably supported by Legion members as well as other community organizations and groups such as the Army, Navy, Air Force Veterans Association; the Army, Air Force and Navy Cadets, as well as the Navy League and Scouts in the canvassing and sale of poppies. And we offer special thanks to Lake City Casinos, who at no charge to the Poppy Campaign, processed thousands of dollars of loose, collected coins. Notwithstanding trying economic times, nearly $38,000 was contributed by the citizens of Greater Vernon which will ultimately be redistributed to needy veterans as well as other worthy community services. These funds are held in trust and subject to scrutiny and audit at the Legion Zone and Provincial Command levels.

and not drive downtown. We would give the lost souls of our community purpose, a connection to Mother Nature and with counselling as well as companionship, we may reduce the number of homeless and drug-dependant people in our community. We could also host other equine events at Kin Park and bring in

The Legion thanks all attendees and participants of the Remembrance Day ceremony which was ably supported by the diligent work and assistance of the Wesbild Centre management and staff. Well done, Vernon! Gary Caswell, Poppy Campaign Chair WE PAY THE PRICE Apparently politicians and their families are open targets for anyone to slander. Professional naysayers and some people will criticize anything and everything that politicians do. If it is not up to the way of the naysayers armchair politics, well by all means let's just go and organize a petition or recall, never mind the cost to us taxpayers. I really do begrudge these recalls and petitions and the needless cost we are being forced to pay. Do people really understand that we will have to pay for these? It seems that not many people really understand the HST and the benefits it can do for the province. It is so easy to dismiss something new and what we don’t comprehend. While the petition was going about collecting names, the government legally couldn’t do or say anything about the HST, making it an easy game of fear mongering for the organizers. It takes time to study the benefits of the HST and how it can help our province. Ontario being one of the provinces, we aren’t the first province to be using this system. This political party was voted in by a fair and equal system. Why can’t we all try to work together to uphold their governing policies and do our best to

a huge growth in our economy. Horse people would love to board all year round and have a place for their horse to be cared for. We would give help, healing and horses back to our community again. When the horse races come every year we could simply set up arrangements for the other horses to be cared for in the inner field or in paddocks near the barns. Just an idea and I did not know where to go with it but to bring it directly to you. I am sure if we connected all the service organizations and businesses we together could make this a successful rehabilitation treatment facility for people of all ages and dilemmas who may need some help. Gail Pifer

make it work for the overall good of our province? If the policies don’t work and we don’t like what they have done or of their methods, they can always be voted out in the next election. Bev Pothecary BE RESPONSIBLE Are we to believe that because people are getting ticketed, impounded, and/or suspended for being .05 or over, that our whole social system is going to collapse? Why is it that people who will spend multiple dollars drinking and dining (to support the establishments), get all upset if they might have to spend a few dollars in a cab to get home safely? (Perhaps in reality, maybe they should do it for other people’s safety…) If people are over an established legal limit, then pay the price! Whether it is a fine, a suspension, or a cab ride home. Driving is not a right, it is a privilege. If you abuse that privilege, then you may lose it. For those who say: “I am OK even after a few drinks”, by all means, take the chance. If you are lucky and beat the law, good for you. If you get caught and it costs you dearly, don’t whine about how the laws are interfering with your rights and ability to ‘have a good time’. Times are changing and what was once acceptable, may not be so now. Adapt. People can do that – we do it all the time. Take responsibility for yourself and your actions. Better than killing someone just because ‘you’re OK to go’. Keith Westfall

WELL DONE Not knowing who put on the Fly Past during our Remembrance Day services in Lumby on Nov. 11, I will thank them via The Morning Star. The planes flew over during the laying of the wreaths in the lovely sunshine. It was the most unexpected and thrilling experience. Thank you, whoever gave their talents to make our day special.

Enderby preparing to celebrate Christmas season RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Christmas brings people together, and that spirit is thriving in Enderby. The a n nu a l Community Christmas Celebration runs Friday and Saturday with a number of scheduled activities. “Everyone comes together to make this happen,” said Neil Fidler, with the organizing committee. “The committee is made up of various individuals and groups. It’s a real community thing.” From noon to 6 p.m. Friday, the Enderby Museum hosts Christmas-themed displays and Santa contests.

Large, enthusiastic crowds are expected when the Light Up parade hits Belvedere Street and Cliff Avenue at 6 p.m. “People can’t live without it. It’s very popular,” said Fidler, adding that the parade is a great opportunity for young children to get into the holiday spirit. At 6:30 p.m., residents can participate in the candlelit walk along the Heritage River Walk. “We have nearly 300 candles to hand out,” said Fidler, who says the combination of the candles and the views of the Shuswap River create a unique atmosphere. The walk ends at

CITY OF ARMSTRONG

Morning Star Staff

Four Vernon residents were involved in a crash on Highway 97 in Lake Country Tuesday morning. RCMP report a northbound blue Toyota hatchback, driven by an 18-year-old Vernon man, crossed the centre line near Oceola Road just after 9 a.m. and into the southbound lane for an unknown reason. The Toyota struck a southbound red Ford pickup, driven by a 22-year-old man who had a 21-year-old female passenger, both of Vernon. The Toyota then spun away from the truck and collided with a grey Ford sedan that was following the truck. All of the vehicles were severely damaged. The driver of the Toyota suffered serious chest and neck injuries, and will be facing a charge of driving without due care and attention. The driver of the Ford sedan, a 46-year-old Vernon man, suffered injuries to his left knee and hand. Both were taken to Kelowna General Hospital for treatment. The occupants of the truck were uninjured.

Region poised to become tourism leader Morning Star Staff

The newly elected head of the ThompsonOkanagan Tourism Association believes the region’s businesses have a new vitality which puts them in a strong position to compete for a bigger portion of the market. Chairperson Ingrid Jarrett says TOTA and tourism leaders are adopting strategies that will attract more visitors and revenue to the area.

Salmon society forms Morning Star Staff

A new non-profit society has been formed to promote the return of salmon above the Wilsey dam near Lumby. The Middle Shuswap Wild Salmon Society wants to create more awareness about the salmon in the middle Shuswap River and to look at ways to improve the watershed. “The society will achieve these purposes by presenting a Wild Salmon Music Festival to raise awareness and connect people to the fish ladder development and accelerated completion,” said Randy Rauck, spokesperson. “It will also create and support events and initiatives that will raise awareness and improve the habitat for the local wild salmon.” A new Facebook profile has just been started for the society, which also plans to start monthly meetings in January. For more information, e-mail shuswapwildsalmon@gmail.com.

“B.C.’s tourism industry is valued at $13.8 billion, and the Thompson Okanagan is poised to be the leading region in terms of ensuring continued growth and development for the tourism sector,” said Jarrett, who is general manager of the Watermark Beach Resort in Osoyoos and vice-president of the B.C. Hotel Association. “We compete on a global scale for tourism spending, and the

College clips for charity RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Getting your hair trimmed or your nails done can help Vernon residents in need. M.C. College, which teaches hair design and esthetics, will hold a Christmas charity day at its downtown location Dec. 11. “All of the funds coming from hair colours, perms, haircuts, manicures and pedicures will go to the Salvation Army that day,” said Deborah Solski, college director. “They are our neighbour and this is a way to give back to the community.” Drop boxes will also be available for donations of food or toys. The staff and students at the college selected the Salvation Army because of the services it provides, including the food bank. “There are students who don’t usually come in to class on Saturdays but they are choosing to come in that day which is phenomenal,” said Solski. “There will be lots of students here, so we should be able to handle lots of people.” The Salvation Army is currently conducting interviews for Christmas food hampers. The fundraiser at M.C. College will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dec. 11, and anyone wanting to participate is asked to make an appointment by calling 250-542-8393. “It’s going to be a very festive day,” said Solski.

Technology Council, Community Futures and the Okanagan Partnership have created www.ourokanagan. ca. The goal of the website is to assist in finding and supporting local businesses and nonprofits.

“It has been a pleasure to work with such a crosssection of Okanagan organizations,” said Brad Clements of the Okanagan Partnership. “Their input has been critical in the design of Our Okanagan and we are now getting tremendous support from many

other organizations in the valley as we begin to roll it out.” The website allows businesses and nonprofits to post a profile as a webpage complete with photos, news and events, and social media. Businesses and

groups have the ability to describe the actual products and services they offer.

“This allows consumers to search specifically for what they are looking for and retrieve

a list of where they are available right here in the Okanagan,” said Clements.

Andrew Rispin, with Sun Country Cycle, is the latest recipient of the Grand GO Award for customer service.

www.bestmortgageyet.com

All Andrew Rispin wanted to do was make sure the customers could continue cycling. The Sun Country Cycle employee is the latest winner of the North Okanagan Employment Enhancement Society’s Grand GO Award, nominated by a visiting cyclist who had major issues with her bike at the Silver Star bike park. “We rode on Friday and at the end of the day realized there was something wrong with her front suspension as it was leaking oil everywhere,” wrote the person who nominated Rispin for the award. “We bumped into Andrew in the parking lot at Silver Star and he immediately took a look at the forks. “He let her know that she would need to replace the seals right away.” Rispin offered to go into work early on Saturday and fix what he thought would be a simple seal change. He discovered, however, that it was a bigger problem. When he didn’t have the spare part, he pulled them off of a bike in the shop in order to get the woman’s bike fixed and get her back up on the hill. “He did all of this with a smile and extended my local’s discount to her which was a huge help as she was on a tight budget and couldn’t afford the unexpected repairs,” wrote the nominator. For his efforts, Rispin was awarded gift certificates donated by the Best Western Vernon Lodge, a balloon bouquet and GO Award travel mug and lapel pin from Krista Kay, co-ordinator of the GO Award. “It’s an unexpected surprise, for sure,” smiled Rispin after accepting the monthly award. “It’s good to know I could get somebody out riding again when they

were on a tight budget and short notice. I’m happy I could keep her riding. It’s nice to be recognized for the effort.” The GO Award is a customer service recognition program where individuals who go above and beyond, providing extraordinary service in everyday situations, are honoured. The GO Award program is sponsored by Tourism British Columbia, Askew’s Foods, Shepherd’s Hardware Ltd., The Morning Star, Sun-FM, Armstrong Advertiser, Electric Paper Company and many local businesses and organizations.

Roller derby team ready to rock JENNIFER SMITH

Morning Star Staff

Still trying to find their balance in an increasingly popular new sport, a novice Lumby team is hoping to find some support as they rock it derby-style this Christmas. One of the Okanagan’s newest teams to roller derby, the Redneck Daisies, present a fundraising dance called Indecent on Saturday. The adult event features a burlesque-style dance routine put on by the Daisies, along with local musical talents Redfish and Channel Eight. Doors open to the Paddlewheel Hall event at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance at Surplus Herby’s, The Bean Scene or the Snac Shac in Lumby. Tickets at the door are $20. Along with the entertainment, there will be merchandise, prizes and lots of merriment. Erin Foggoa (aka Lucy Dynamite) encourages anyone interested in supporting the local sport to come out, as well as anyone interested in getting involved. “The more public the merrier, it’s a great chance to meet and mingle with a local team, and who knows, we might get some new members.” The team is raising funds to secure a venue, insurance, uniforms and other necessities. The team is also seeking sponsors. Since Melissa W o l o s h y n (Hustlebunny) and Kari Watson (Red Pony) founded Redneck Daisies less than a year ago, the team has grown to 12 members. Foggoa, who joined the sport a few months after her daughter was born, adds: “fresh meat is always welcome.” While some of the girls transition to the sport from hockey, most players step into their first pair of skates when they join. Foggoa is no exception. “The last time I was any good on roller skates I was six at a

Lumby’s roller derby team, Redneck Daisies, are hosting a fundraising dance at Paddlewheel Hall Saturday. birthday party.” But she was instantly drawn to the intensity of the sport, admitting that the movie Whip It spurred her interest. “I said to my boyfriend, ‘I wish there was derby here, I would totally do that.’ And the next weekend I was invited to a bout. I watched for about two minutes before I was completely in love,” said Foggoa. “Then I found out about the Daisies through a girlfriend, and honestly sometimes coming to meet a large group of girls can be really intimidating, but it wasn’t like that at all with these girls.” With the help of the girls and coach, Jeff “Fallguy” Bevans, Foggoa has evolved into a confident roller girl. “Roller derby is 100 per cent addictive!” She describes the sport as difficult, dedicated and life-changing. “I love the camaraderie, and the feeling of being in a bout, it’s so scary and intense and the adrenaline is amazing.” Roller derby is played on a circuit track with two 30-minute periods. Two teams each send five players at a time onto the track, consisting of four blockers and one jammer. It’s up to the jammer to score by lapping skaters from the opposite team. The other eight players stay in a tight pack and strategically stop the opposing jammer while helping their girl get through.

“The most challenging part of derby other than being a human pinball is that offense and defense are played simultaneously,” explains Foggoa. The Daisies recently celebrated a victory against the Kelowna Derby Dolls – 182 to 101. “It was not an easy win, they’re a good team.” The popularity of roller derby is picking up speed in the region with several local

teams. Owning her own graphic design company, Foggoa has even been prompted to expand into supplying merchandise for the sport. Her company, Missketo Designs, includes a division called Derby Love which specializes in everyday derby wear. At first it was just her team buying shirts, but sales have grown as she attends all the games and now carries shorts,

underwear, stickers and T-shirts and is still expanding. “Roller Derby is a challenging and rough sport, and the girls who play are proud of what they do, Derby Love gives them the opportunity to show their love of the sport on and off the track,” says Foggoa, who was also recently featured in an interview on derbyspotlight.com

World Vision volunteer Carmen Denby (centre), St. James Grade 4 student Nathaniel Foster (holding catalogue) and his classmates are challenging all Grade 4 classes in the Vernon School District to have as many World Vision birthday parties as possible this year. Foster raised $145 for the charity at his party last month.

As an adult, Denby started nine years ago donating money to World Vision, around a $100 a month, money that went to support a young Rwandan boy named Jean Paul. Denby showed the students a 15-minute video presentation of her trip to Rwanda, which ended with Denby hugging the now 18-yearold Jean Paul.

“I was crying, he’s a man now, fully grown up,” said Denby. Foster and Denby have challenged all Grade 4 classes in the Vernon School District to have as many World Vision birthday parties as possible in the school year.

His mom, Mirjam, gave him the idea and, for a few days, Nathaniel Foster stewed about it. Foster then made up his mind: for his ninth birthday party, the Grade 4 St. James student decided that instead of presents, he’d prefer his guests help him raise money for charity. The beneficiaries of Foster’s generosity will be World Vision. “We raised $145 and, after passing around the World Vision catalogue, we picked out two items,” said Foster, who turned nine on Oct. 25. “The first was for emergency water and sanitation for disaster victims, the other was clothing for 25 children. “It feels very good because I know I have helped lots of kids.” If Foster needed any more verification how his $145 helped out, he got it at a school assembly. Guest speaker was Carmen Denby of Kelowna, whose nephew, Jake Spence, is also a St. James student. Denby is a life change network volunteer with World Vision, who had the opportunity to travel to Rwanda in August. Married with two kids, Denby told the students how she was born and

raised in the Okanagan, and continued to live here. How she had food in her refrigerator, clean and safe water to drink, cook and to clean with. How she could jump in a boat and enjoy a day on the lake. Denby told the students she had a problem. “How is it I’m so lucky to live in this beautiful place, do all these things, enjoy all these things, when there are others in the world who aren’t as lucky?” she stated. Denby explained how her mother had given her and her sis-

Cod Gone Wild kicks up Maritime party Vernon’s newest band hopes you’ll ‘kiss the cod’ after hearing new CD KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff

“So you’re a Newfie, eh?” The word slips out when the fellow who has come to talk about his band’s new CD mentions where he’s from –– this is before thinking the term might be considered derogatory. Andrew Mercer takes the gaffe in stride. “It seems to be a term of endearment out here,” says the native of Bay Roberts, a town located 100 kilometres west of St. John’s. Embraced by the community since arriving in the Okanagan on Canada Day in 2009, Mercer and his band with the apt name, Cod Gone Wild, have been attracting fans with music that sounds like it came out of some Atlantic kitchen party where the Screech has been flowing freely. It’s that catchy. “We found our sound almost immediately after forming,” said Mercer. “It’s modern Celtic with a stylish groove and driving rhythms.” With members that have come from all parts of Canada to converge in both Vernon and Kelowna, Cod Gone Wild has played numerous local shows, including the Sons of Scotland’s St. Andrew’s Ceilidh that just took place in Vernon on the weekend, since forming nine months ago. The band is also anticipating the release of its debut self-titled CD. The album, expected to be officially released Thursday, features 16 tracks of original and traditional modern Celtic/Irish tunes. There’s a song that’s an ode to the party scene in St. John’s, a tribute to Canadian icon and grunge godfather Neil Young, and the Newfoundland classic Cod Liver Oil, as well as traditional Irish drinking songs and classics such as Dirty Old Town, written by

Cod Gone Wild members Chad “Rhino” Carter, left, Pete Kerr, Betty Ann Northup and Andrew Mercer play their Maritime party music on their new self-titled CD. the late Ewan MacColl and made famous by such bands as The Dubliners and The Pogues. Mercer also cites fellow Newfoundlanders Great Big Sea and Figgy Duff as major influences. “They revolutionized how Celtic can be played,” he exclaimed. “The groove we have is what makes us different. If you’re not clapping, tapping and moving, then you must be dead inside.”

Mercer, who plays guitar and sings, is serious when it comes to promoting and marketing Cod Gone Wild, and he’s had a fair share of experience. Back home, he’s a well-known musician who has played just about every pub on St. John’s famed George Street as both a solo artist and a member of various bands, including Ocean Skye which saw some success. “I’ve been playing Celtic music since I

was five. I grew up in a small community and it’s in my blood. I’m passionate about it,” he said. Mercer came to the Okanagan looking for a change. Now in music full time, he’s hooked up with some like-minded musicians who he says are as dedicated to the band as he is. Originally a five-piece, whose first gig was at Vernon’s Army Navy Air Force hall on St. Patrick’s Day, Cod Gone Wild has now whittled down to four members, each of whom brings his/her own experience to the table. Keyboardist/vocalist Betty Ann Northup, who originates from Halifax, runs her own recording and vocal studio in Vernon, where Cod Gone Wild’s album was recorded. Drummer/vocalist Chad “Rhino” Carter, who moved to the area a year ago and before that played in a Celtic band in Edmonton, is also a graphic artist who specializes in website and social media, and has brought his skills to designing the CD’s cover art. “Betty brings these strong three-part arrangements to the band and Rhino grew up in Saudi Arabia and plays djembe and conga, which really adds to our sound,” said Mercer, who connected with Cod Gone Wild’s fiddler Pete Kerr, originally from the Ottawa Valley, through a newspaper article that appeared in The Morning Star’s sister paper, the Kelowna Capital News. “This is very much a team effort that has come together so quickly to have a CD eight months later, it helps that the band is so talented,” added Mercer. Besides an official CD release party expected early in the new year, Cod Gone Wild is planning to headline a big St. Paddy’s Day show in March at the Performing Arts Centre with other Celtic entertainers around Vernon. “We also hope to go on the road around Western Canada in the winter/early spring,” said Mercer. The outlook is positive for getting into festivals as well.” Anyone visiting Kelowna this weekend can catch Cod Gone Wild live at the Minstrel Café on Lakeshore Drive Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. Their new CD will be available at the Vernon Curling Club as well as through their website at www.codgonewild.com.

Guitarist releases his Song of the Troubadour at Vertigo Morning Star Staff

Local guitarist Chris Madsen has been a busy guy as of late. The former music school owner has not only just released 10 CDs of instrumental guitar music (some of them are re-releases), he has just published his new book, Song of the Troubadour, with an accompanying CD. “I am releasing perhaps the largest volume by a Canadian artist ever at one time,” Madsen told The Morning Star. The prolific musician

ARTS SCENE

What a show! And talk about talent! Comprised of performers from the Okanagan Rhythmic Gymnastics Club, this summer’s Cirque Theatre camps, and various community members, Charlie was not only at a professional level, it truly showed what a community can do when it pools its talent. Young Charlie, played by Cameron FraserMonroe, who studies dance at the Shuswap Okanagan Dance Academy (SODA), was as lithe on his feet as he was in our hearts. The fantastic Benjamin McLean, seen previously in Powerhouse productions of Oliver! and The Taming of the Shrew, who here took on the shrill news reporter in the first half of the show and the shrewd Willy Wonka in the second act, should get himself up to Broadway, pronto! The “clowns,” spies Slugworth (Mia Herault) and Prodnose (Rylee Haubrich) and butler (Brie-Anne MacPherson) were reminiscent of the late, great Charlie Chaplin for their physical and comical performances. And then there was Grandpa Joe (Garry Schmidt), whose scenes with all the grandparents in bed was hilarious. They were having waaay too much fun in there. The young athletes leaping and flipping their way across the stage in incredibly choreographed numbers were just that, incredible. The numbers paid ode to the four countries where the golden ticket winners, most of them naughty than nice, hailed –– from the drumming rhythm of

Africa, to the sultry flamenco of Mexico, to the yodelling of Austria, to an American cheerleading number. I especially loved the characters in each –– from the fickle Nigerian girl (Aline Mugenza) and her baboon companion (Kelsey Anderson); the Euro-trash mom in her pink high heels (Gillian Pool), and her horribly spoiled daughter (Jaala Ward); the lusty overthe-top Flamenca mom (Madeleine Shaw) and her video game-crazed son (Micah Martens) and the winning-iseverything cheerleading coach/mother (Tammy Andreotti) and her cheer team headed by bad loser daughter (Tessa Rohatensky). Then there were the Oompa Loompa, captured in song by the Seaton choir, who were in fact beautifully dressed dancers of all ages –– much more graceful than the men who played them in the 1971 film starring Gene

What he did to create the chocolate factory and the Wonkavision scene, with its blinding lights, should be immortalized in a museum.

Vernon Jazz Club hosts Cellar sax man DVOIRA YANOVSKY Vernon Jazz Society

Prepare for an amazing jazz experience when tenor saxophonist and jazz impresario extraordinaire Cory Weeds lights up the stage at the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday night. Joining Weeds on some good blowing tunes is Bill Coon on guitar, Chris Gestrin on the B3 organ, and Julian MacDonough on drums. The quartet will perform music from Weeds’ recent critically acclaimed CD, The Many Deeds of Cory Weeds, which spent 13 weeks on the JazzWeek chart and cracked the top 10 list of more than 30 radio stations across Canada and the U.S. The album offers upbeat covers of familiar songs such as Sunday In New York, Brad Turner’s Goin’ Down, Kerry Galloway’s Roofin’ It, and Bill Weeds’ Corner Kisses. “I’m a versatile musician that plays in all kinds of styles,” said Weeds. “Having said that, my preferred styles of jazz are organ jazz and the hard bop musings of folks like Horace Silver, Art Blakey, Hank Mobley and Lee Morgan.” In the past 15 years, Weeds has shared the stage with performers international and local including David “Fathead” Newman, Charles McPherson, Nikki Yanofsky, Mike Allen, Hugh Fraser and Ross Taggart. Weeds is also owner of the renowned Cellar Restaurant and Jazz Club, Vancouver’s premiere jazz venue and

Cory Weeds leads his quartet into the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday. one of the top jazz clubs in the world, hosting performers such as Mulgrew Miller, Kenny Barron, Frank Wess, Benny Golson and Dr. Lonnie Smith. “Presenting jazz is in my blood,” explained Weeds. “It’s what I do and what I was meant to do. Hearing bands rip up the stage, whether a local group or an international star, and seeing the people get off

on it is what turns me on the most.” In addition to music making, Weeds has joined the ranks of parenthood, giving him a new perspective. “It’s made me more patient and more thoughtful. It has also taught me about priorities. My whole life revolves around that little boy and I can’t explain how much I love him.” When trumpeter Chris Davis got the call to tour in India, guitar favourite Coon stepped in to perform with Weeds on this tour. Coon’s busy schedule has him performing solo at Vancouver’s O’Doul’s, recording and performing with Jennifer Scott and the Rene Worst Quintet at the Jazz Cellar, and touring and performing with the popular Christmas band the B3 Kings with Weeds, Denzal Sinclaire, and Gestrin.

Speedsters invade PV short track

JUNIOR BERTH Morning Star Staff

Morning Star Staff

Nearly 50 athletes from across the Okanagan and Kootenays competed in Vernon Speed Skating Club tournament action last weekend at Priest Valley Arena. The Vernon club, which has had a stong membership boost this year, featured 11 skaters. First-place finishes went to Georgia Elliott (nine-year-old girls), Shaughnessy Barker (10 girls), Connie Kapak (11 girls), Connor Elliott (7 boys), Bryan Brew (8 boys) and Mike Acton (Senior men). Placing second were Zoe Plummer (7 girls), Skylar Elliott (12 girls) and Finn Plummer (9 boys). Olaf Plummer claimed bronze in Master menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action and Jacob Kalashnikoff secured fourth in 12 boys competition. Placings were determined by comparing skaters within their age groupings after four races. Vernon skaters will compete Saturday at a sanctioned even in Kelowna, followed by a two-day camp on Dec. 18 and 19 at the outdoor rink at Big White.

Vernon hosts Pee Wee prospects KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

In the early years, visiting teams stayed with and ate meals with billets, and the players used $3.95 wooden sticks. Today, the teams stay in an upscale hotel, listen to former NHLers speak at a fancy banquet, and they shoot with $200 composite sticks. While equipment and lodging have definitely changed, the motto for the 40th Marty Stein annual Coca-Cola Pee Wee Invitational Hockey Tournament still rings true: 'See The Stars of Tomorrow Today.' The eight-team extravaganza goes Feb. 10-13 at Civic Arena, and co-chairman Marty Stein says they have lined up another impressive roster. "We had over 24 teams apply so there

was lots of interest," said Stein, who heads a 16-man board along with Jim Sparrow. "I believe we are getting more interest because of our website and word of mouth. Associations who play in our tournament tell other associations how we run a firstclass tournament and word spreads." Campbell River (Tyees) will send a team to the classic for the first time. They will play round-robin games in the Sun Valley Source For Sports Division with the Simons Valley Rebels of Calgary, Spokane Jr. Chiefs and the Surrey Chiefs. The Vernon Watkin Motors Mustangs, who have won the tourney six times, are in the Coca-Cola Division with the Anchorage North Stars of Alaska, Juan de Fuca Grizzlies of Vancouver Island and the St. Albert Sabres from near Edmonton. Stein, who scouts for the Detroit Red Wings, said there are a number of reasons the Coke tournament has earned a solid reputation in western Canada. "The teams get five full (three stop-time

periods) games, the Winter Carnival is going on at the same time so there is a lot of energy in town, and the hockey is of a very good calibre." Forward Brett Connolly of the Prince George Cougars, chosen sixth overall by Tampa Bay in last summer's entry draft, played two years in the tourney with Prince George. Connolly will likely play for Canada in the upcoming World Juniors in Buffalo. Tournament alumni who have gone on to the NHL include the likes of Jerred Smithson, Daymond Langkow, Brent Gilchrist, Jeff Finley, Jason Podollan, Sandy Moger, Richard Matvichuk, Doug Bodger and Barry Pederson. The Mustangs, meanwhile, fell 7-0 to the Kelowna Rockets in Okanagan Mainline Pee Wee AAA League action Saturday at Wesbild Centre. Billy Cawthorne and Josh Evans split the goaltending for the Mustangs, who trailed 2-0 after 20 minutes.

Looks like Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jon Gardner and Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jenn Gerow will be spending their Christmas holidays on the Lower Mainland. The Baron Insurance Super League skips won their respective qualifiers at the regional curling playdowns last weekend at the Salmon Arm Curling Club. They will compete in the B.C. Junior Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Curling Championships December 27-31, 2010 in North Vancouver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got bronze two years ago and silver last year, so gold is the plan this year,â&#x20AC;? said Gardner, who attends Okanagan College. Gardner still feels the sting of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loss to Langleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tyler Klymchuk in the gold-medal game, especially after they went 7-0 in round-robin play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Silver kind of has a bitter taste,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel we are one of the best teams in B.C., and the best way to prove that is by winning gold.â&#x20AC;? Gardner, is backed by third Michael Longworth and newcomers Michael Hiram and Jonathan Hatten. They are sponsored by Baron Insurance and Sladen Moore. After an opening 6-4 loss to Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Justin Nillson, Gardner rallied with three straight wins to grab the boys B qualifier. The Vernon foursome collected seven points over the first three ends to thump Salmon Armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nick Cliff 10-2. They then brushed back Enderbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gordon Forster (third Sheldon Bemister, second Doug Sperlich and lead Levi Verlaan) 8-1. Gardner posted all his points in first five ends, forcing handshakes after Forster could only muster a single in six. The redhead skip recorded three in the second end and four in the fourth to stuff Kael Kristjanson of Kamloops 9-2 in the B final. On the girls side, Gerow went undefeated in pool play to earn the A qualifier. Backed by third Kayte Gyles, second Melissa Moen and lead Vanessa Samborsky, Gerow doubled Kamloopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Alyssa Kyllo 10-5. After allowing a single in one, Gerow exploded for five in two and a single steal in three to take control. After a slow start against Corryn Brown of Kamloops, Gerow recorded a deuce in the ninth end and put the game away with a steal in 10 to earn an 8-6 win. Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kayla Gunner, another Super League skip, went 1-2 in regional playdown action. After falling 6-3 to Kyllo in their opening, the Gunner rink (third Jasmine Brosseau, second Zetteh Gunner and lead Sydney Clement) needed just four ends to stop Kamloopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Kristi Leschuk 8-0. Gunner fell 7-4 to Kyllo in the B final.

Hailey Quiring turned the hat trick and added one helper to lead the Bolts’ attack. Bryn TaylorHawes chipped in with a pair and Giselle Torres, Kenzie Koshure and Rylie Marchand had singles. In Junior A action, Genny Stevenson was solid in net but took the loss as Vernon Jacura Trucking fell 7-3 to West Kelowna Saturday. Vernon’s three goals were scored by Danielle Butler, Amy Wuensche and Erin Banning. The truckers rebounded Sunday with a 5-4 win over host Salmon Arm. Kaylee Barss paced Vernon with two goals, while Banning, assisted by Nicole Williams, Terri-Lynn Blatney, assisted by Whitney Jacura, and Butler, unassisted, rounded out the scoring. Amy Parsons fired three goals as Nixon Wenger

Stingers thumped Shuswap 6-2 in Tween play Sunday morning at PV. Other goal scorers for Vernon were Ashleigh Cohen (2) and Jocelyn Jones. The Vernon North Enderby Timber Vikings dropped their first Petite league game of the season, falling 10-7 to the West Kelowna Spartans Sunday. With the Vikings off to a slow start, netminder Ava Cornell made some big saves to keep Vernon alive. Trailing by five goals late in the first period, the Vikes kept pressing, with offence from Colten Schaper Kotter (2+2), Evangeline Koshure (2G), Saige Woodliffe (1+2) and Emma Carter. Chelsea Landry and Rebecca Van Eyck each had one assist. The TORL Belle AA team settled for a 3-3 draw with the Kelowna Open team Sunday. Lisa Weatherill, Delanie Thorlakson and Brittany Burge handled the TORL scoring, with assists from Summer Jesperson (2), Weatherill, Kirstan Moore and Gabby Maduck. Goaltender Kirsten Wiltshire stood her ground in net. In Tween play, the Vernon Kryptonite got balanced scoring to overpower West Kelowna 13-1 Saturday afternoon. Deuces came from Sydney Harder and Danika Seed. Singles came from Catlyn Marshall, Bailey Williamson, Kennedy Pope, Brenna Beck, Megan Barss, Madison Powls, Teigan Moore, Katelyn Paulin and Hannah Popilchak. Emily Olds earned the win. Aleisha Smith was stellar in net as the Vernon Voltage zapped Shuswap 6-5 in Petite play Sunday. The Voltage got offence from Alex Drury (2+1), Caleb Pope (1+1), Miranda Chapple, Delaney and Gabby Coufal. Assists were provided by Tamara Nicol, Chelsea McNabb and Stephanie Backer.

Sonics ride provincial pole position Morning Star Staff

The Seaton Sonics are ranked No. 1 and hoping to stop a run of titles by private schools when the B.C. Senior AA Boys Volleyball Championships open today in Lake Country and Kelowna. The MEI Eagles of Clearbrook have won the provincial gold the last five years and seven of the last eight. Fraser Valley Christian (now Surrey Christian), Langley Christian and Langley Fundamental are all private schools that have dominated the medals in this division. Doug Kozak's Sonics open Power Pool play this morning at 11:15 at George Elliot Secondary in Lake Country against Langley Fundamental. The Sonics meet the George Elliot Coyotes at 1:45 in Lake Country and then face MEI at 4:15 at UBC Okanaga Gym. "We have been beating teams by a few morsels the last part of the season so it should be interesting," said Kozak. Meanwhile, the Vernon Christian School Royals claimed ninth spot at the B.C. Senior A Boys Championships last weekend in Duncan. After going 1-4 in pool play, the Royals had great success in Saturday's consolation side, winning both their final matches, 25-15 and 25-22 against the Elkford Celtics, and 16-25, 25-19 and 15-12 over the Unity Christian Flames from Chilliwack. Travis Hoogland drilled a chute set down the line for the last point in the first set, and Tyrell Hoogland served the last three points, the final one for an ace, to end the match over the Celtics. Jordan Vandermeulen led the team over the Flames with five ace serves and three solo blocks. “I saw more fight from our guys on defence, beginning on Friday afternoon,” said head coach Chris Bannick. “The rallies were longer and I thought we worked harder on D. Setter Aaron Spence did a great job distributing the ball evenly

all over the court throughout the provincials to keep their blockers away from our attacks.” Bannick said Adam McCaffrey came off the bench and provided some back-row digs, while Jason vanBoven displayed solid back-row relief all tournament. Outside hitters Branden Hoogendoorn and Daniel Koch played solid defensively. Team captain Connor Yskes earned second team all-star honors finishing the tournament with 18 kills and led the team with 11 blocks. Right side Sam Koch led the Royals with 28 kills and tied Jordan Vandermeulen with the team lead in service aces with nine.

Sonics seventh in provincial juniors Morning Star Staff

The Seaton Sonics settled for seventh as they fell 2-1 to the host MEI Eagles of Clearbrook at the junior boys volleyball provincials Saturday. The Sonics came out flying in the fifthplace game, taking the first set 25-19, but couldn’t maintain the momentum, falling in the next two sets. “Overall, this was a terrific season for the Seaton junior boys, who won their North Zone league, the North Zone Championship, came third in Valleys, and placed seventh in provincial championships,” said Seaton coach Andrew White. “They played extremely hard and

represented their school well. Great play in the provincials was contributed by Seaton’s power hitters Mitchell Lacasse and Charles Oduro, as well as Seaton’s setter, Andrew Healy.” The Sonics ended third in pool play with some tight, competitive matches against the Duchess Park Condors of Prince George, Langley Christian Lightning, Delta Pacers and Burnaby North Vikings. Facing Moscrop Panthers of Burnaby in first-round playoff action, the Sonics played one of their better games of the year, using size and power to win two straight. In the quarterfinals, the Sonics put on

a powerful hitting display but fell to the Elgin Park Orcas of Surrey. Meanwhile, the VSS Panthers ranked 14th out of 24 teams at junior girls provincials last weekend in Richmond. After an inspiring opening ceremonies speech by Rick Hansen, the Cats stuffed the Killarney Cougars of Vancouver 2-0 (25-19, 25-22), with strength from Danika Damini, Quinsy Leier and Searra Becker. The Panthers then lost an intense tiebreaker (18-25, 27-25, 13-15) to Surrey Christian Falcons. VSS had great digs by Aurora Greeno and Damini, and killer hits from Leier.

Vernon boys boost Rockets Morning Star Staff

Major Midget Hockey League action Sunday morning at the Kelowna Capital News Centre (CNC). Vernon products Mat Lambert and Alex Jewell also scored, while other goals came from Dallas Barker, Alex Gran, Josh Ellis, Mitchell Cook and David London. It was the largest offensive outburst of the season for the Rockets, who twice managed six goals in a game this season. The last time the Rockets scored nine goals in a single game came back on Oct., 2009 versus the Kootenay Ice. The Franchise record for goals in a game is 11. The teams were tied 1-1 after the first period, but the game was blown wide open with a club-record seven second-period goals. Connor De Melo earned his fourth win of the season in goal for the Rockets as he stopped 30 shots.

Adam Todd posted his first shutout of the season in a dominant performance as the Rockets earned a 2-0 win over the Bruins Saturday at CNC. Todd made 41 saves, including 19 in the second period. The contest was closely played and remained scoreless after 40 minutes of play. Cook needed just 32 seconds into the third period to net his seventh goal of the season. Jewell notched an insurance marker, his fourth of the year, with 4:38 left in the game to put it away for the Rockets. The final shots on goal were 40-32 in favour of the Rockets. The Rockets improved to 9-10-1 on the season, and 6-4-0 on home ice. Fraser Valley fell to 4-12-4. The second half of the season opens at home this weekend as the Rockets welcome the Valley West Hawks. The Rockets dropped both games to the Hawks on opening weekend at UBC.

School of Theology expands to Okanagan Morning Star Staff

There’s a new education option in the Okanagan: starting in January, Vancouver School of Theology will have an extension site in Kelowna. “We will be offering courses that interest everyone,” said Bill Harrison, a Vernon resident who is coordinator of the extension site. “Classes will be accessible to people who have no theologiBill Harrison cal background, but have questions that they want to discuss. People who want to prepare for ordained ministry can get a solid start on their degrees here, rather than needing to go to Vancouver. “Clergy and others who want to pursue advanced degrees will be able to do that, too.”

The first course, entitled “The Meaning of Creativity: Dorothy L. Sayers’ Theology in Drama, Novel, Essay, and Treatise,” is scheduled for Jan. 10-14. Sayers is best known as a mystery novelist, but she also wrote plays and essays, as well as a brief (easy reading) treatise on literary theory and Christian theology. The class will discuss various ways in which we are creative — everybody is, in some way, said Harrison — and will talk about the arts and the mutual influence between them and Christian thought. Harrison will teach the first course. He has a PhD from Boston College and is the author of Frequently-Asked Questions in Christian Theology (Continuum, 2008); he is currently doing research in world religions. Before coming to the Okanagan, Harrison was professor of theology at the College of Emmanuel & St. Chad, in Saskatoon. He is known as an exciting teacher, who enjoys lots of classroom conversation.

“I like to engage with students. My teaching style is particularly oriented toward adults, and I try to make a point of working with people at the level they’re ready for. I like the class material to relate to their context. After all, adults have a lot to bring to a class.” “The Meaning of Creativity” will meet at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church in Kelowna, Jan. 10-14, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Interested people can check out the website at www. vst.edu or contact Harrison at williamhenryharrison@shaw.ca or 250-275-2783. Future course offerings will depend upon interest. “If you have ideas for courses that would interest you, please tell us. We’d also like to know what formats serve people best — weeklong intensives, weekend courses, or evenings spread over a semester. There are lots of possibilities, if people want them. The Sayers course is just the beginning.”

Prepping for the holidays

t’s less than one month until Christmas and for many of us the hustle and bustle of preparations is well under way with shopping lists, baking, gift lists and ideas, and our calendars are quickly fillCathi Litzenberger ing up with a variety of opportunities and events we want to attend. Speaking of preparations, I always wish to have my lights up by Dec. 1; my husband on the other hand, always waits for the challenge of hanging them in sub-zero temperatures in a snow storm. With all the warm weather we’ve been experiencing, lights may end up in my to-do list; my knees are already shaky at the idea of climbing the ladder. Today’s recipes continue the promised hors d’oeuvres for the many gatherings planned for the

KITCHEN WIT & WISDOM

upcoming holiday season. The first is a wonderful hot artichoke dip and the second a cold Italian bruschetta right from Naples, simple but very delicious. Hot Artichoke Spinach Dip 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained 1/3 cup grated Romano cheese 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained 1/3 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup sour cream 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. In a blender or food processor, place artichoke hearts, Romano cheese, Parmesan cheese and garlic. Pulse until chopped, but not ground. Set aside. In a medium bowl, mix together spinach, heavy cream, sour cream and mozzarella cheese. Stir in artichoke mixture. Spoon into prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheat-

ed oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve with warm tortilla chips and garnish with sour cream and salsa if you like. The Real Italian Bruschetta 8 roma tomatoes, chopped into cubes 1/3 cup red onion, finely chopped 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped 1 bunch fresh basil 1/2 cup red wine vinegar 1/2 cup olive oil 1 dash salt and pepper 1 loaf long French bread, sliced Chop roma tomatoes, red onion and garlic; put into medium sized bowl, set aside.

Merchant takes a detailed look at lasers Morning Star Staff

Dr. V.E. (Vivian) Merchant’s new book, The Art of Building Lasers, discusses the design and construction of lasers as engineering science and art. B.C. writer Merchant, who lives in Vernon, worked in the laser industry for 40 years. He believes that there are some aspects of laser construction and diagnostics in which selective skills are required, with there being few practitioners

who learn the skills. “Until now, no books have been available in the nearest technical library to describe these aspects of lasers,” said Merchant. The book describes two aspects of laser technology that only a few practitioners have mastered. The first is building electrical circuits for the excitation of pulsed gas lasers. These circuits require tens of thousands of volts to produce very high

electrical currents that last only a brief instant of time. The second area of specialized skills required is the measurement of the size of the focused beam when the beam is powerful enough to vaporize any known material used to make beam detectors. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the invention of the laser. The Art of Building Lasers is available at www.Amazon.com.

Keith Billington’s first book, House Calls by Dogsled: Six Years in an Arctic Medical Outpost, described his and his wife, Muriel’s, experiences providing medical care to isolated Gwich’in settlements in the Northwest Territories during the 1960s. The book was a best seller and in 2009, the couple, both registered nurses, drove the Dempster Highway to Fort Macpherson to visit old friends and places. Billington tells that story and adds recollections in his new book, Cold Land, Warm Hearts: More Memories of an Arctic Medical Outpost.

“We reunited with old friends who seemed the same except older and greyer and some, like us, a little heavier,” said Billington, who recalled the years stiching wounds, extracting teeth, delivering babies and preparing bodies for burial in the isolated nursing station 160 kilometres inside the Arctic Circle, 3,500 kilometres north of Vancouver. He writes about being woken in the middle of the night to find someone rapping on the station door with a life-threatening emergency, which often ended by lighting a makeshift airstrip with rolls of toilet paper soaked in kerosene.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Because you are both observant and a quick learner, you may discover a solution to a nagging problem that has been bugging you for far too long. It’ll be just what you need. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) A mutually satisfactory arrangement can be worked out between you and another person, because each has something the other needs. Both will be willing to give a little to get a lot. ARIES (March 21-April 19) This is one of those days where you won’t need any time to ponder in detail before acting. You’re a quick thinker, and your on-the-spot decisions are right on the money. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Some kind of favorable change, which neither you nor anybody else ever thought would happen, is likely to take place at work. It’ll be the kind of thing that will please everybody.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Don’t be surprised if you are even more popular than usual. It’s one of those days when your finer qualities are very much in evidence and catnip to others, especially your wit and charm. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) This could be a better than usual day to go shopping, because you’re likely to stumble across a discounted item that you’ve wanted for a long time but always felt was too expensive to buy. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You’re likely to discover that two people you knew but had never been close to have a lot in common with you. As a result, you are apt to develop a close friendship with them. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Two new sources that you stumble across could turn out to be good income generators. One is old and reliable, but chances are the other will be brand-new and untested.

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.

2004 VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG

Frank and Ernest

Navigation, loaded, AWD

Special Bridge by Phillip Alder Bridge Magazineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst issue was in May 1925. This predates The Bridge World by 41 months, although TBW has published more issues because it continued through World War II. Bridge Magazine aims at tournament players but also has several articles covering basics. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deal comes from a quiz on opening leads. Look only at the West hand. What card would you choose against three no-trump? South sensibly added one point for the good ďŹ ve-card suit and opened one no-trump, showing 15-17 points. North used Stayman, then wished she had not when partner denied a major. This was Board 31 of

64 from the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team ďŹ nal between China and England at the 1st World Mind Sports Games in Beijing two years ago. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;normalâ&#x20AC;? lead is the spade two, fourthhighest from the longest and strongest. However, as you can see, that does not work well here. Declarer will win with her 10 and take four spades (ďŹ nessing through West), four diamonds and one club. The better start is the heart ace. If the dummy suggests that this is not a fruitful attack, there will probably be time to shift to a spade. Here, though, East will signal enthusiastically for hearts and the defenders will take the ďŹ rst ďŹ ve tricks in the suit.

Nevena Senior for England did lead a heart, defeating the contract. At the other table Zhang Yalan led the spade two, so England gained 10 international match points. What was the match result? England won by one. Details are at www. bridgeshop.com.

Soon Im Vervotte June 24, 1931 - November 26, 2010

Today, our dear mother Soon gained her freedom. Free from cancer and the pain that had lasted too long. From the little girl who started her life in Korea and triumphed over many battles; she arrived in Canada in 1967 with her husband Guy who was with U.N. Belgain Forces during the Korean War. Her passion was family, pets, plants and Àowers, cooking, camping and ¿shing. She always had a smile and a big hello which left a big impression on everyone. Shopping and discovering treasures at the local thrift shops were a constant addiction. She was predeceased by her husband Guy on October 22, 2010 and her grandson Dwayne Hutchinson on September 19, 2009. She leaves behind her loving family; daughter Jenny (Ken) Douglas of Armstrong and son Michael (Pam) Vervotte of Vernon, and grandchildren Michelle Hutchinson. She is now free to join our Dad, Sunny and Dwayne to continue the next journey.
