Merchants ask for a refund RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s mayor doubts there will be compensation for merchants impacted by road work. Thirteen businesses on 29th Street, between 43rd and 48th avenues, are asking for a two-year forgiveness on city taxes and a $100,000 marketing budget to address revenue losses they attribute to construction. “Street construction is a big hit on business. This is major grade work and replacing infrastructure,” said Mayor Wayne Lippert. However, he denies accusations that city staff kept merchants in the dark, and he doesn’t believe compensation is likely. “Some of the businesses complained about the (condition of the) road beforehand,” said Lippert, adding that the work,
once completed, will benefit businesses. Coun. Patrick Nicol isn’t sure how to handle the request for tax relief. “I want the full view on how the city dealt with the issue. I understood that the city has consulted with businesses there,” he said. The merchants claim that revenue has dropped more than 50 per cent since work began in August. “To date, 15 layoffs have occurred, with eight to 10 more layoffs expected by the end of this month,” said Lew Rossner, a customer speaking on behalf of the businesses. “The project started with four-days notice. The merchants have had to deal with signage that says the road is closed.” Rossner also suggests flag people have turned customers away and water has

CELL
been turned off without notice. According to Rossner, there were no studies done to support city claims that construction would not impact business. “The project is not being constructed in the manner or design as presented and promised to merchants and property owners.” The construction is phase one of an initiative that will link downtown to the Village Green Mall. The merchants believe the plan is misguided. “The project design is not complementary to the light industrial zoning covering a number of merchants as it plans to alter a vehicle-friendly traffic flow road away from vehicle destination industries to a hazardous route, forcing a blend of pedestrian modes into an area not originally designated to accommodate them,” said Rossner.
A battle with wildlife has hit new heights. Vernon council has given 11 properties on Kokanee and Chinook roads approval to go beyond established fence heights to prevent deer from eating plants, and cougars and bears from creating safety concerns. “You’re out in the woods there. It’s not like East Hill,” said Coun. Shawn Lee of the Sunset Properties subdivision in Okanagan Landing. “We need to allow these neighbours to do something.” Residents claim fruit trees and flowers are being decimated by hungry deer. “Six years ago, the deer started eating everything. For two years, we didn’t have any apples or pears,” said homeowner Joan Debella. “We want to retain our ability to grow our own food.” Murray Hainer says the deer population is out of control. “It’s much the same as rabbits in Kelowna. They are everywhere and you need to do something about it,” he told council. There are also concerns that wildlife is putting people and pets at risk. “We have cougars taking down deer. There have been bears and coyotes on the rampage,” said resident Darlene Hainer. “We’ve had two dogs and six cats disappear from the neighbourhood.” The 11 properties will be allowed to increase the maximum permitted fence height in front yards from one to 2.44 metres, and from two to 2.44 metres for rear and side yard areas. “The fences will only be keeping them out of select areas of our yards,” said Darlene Hainer, adding that the mesh substance won’t block wildlife corridors. However, Mayor Wayne Lippert is concerned about the change at Sunset Properties, saying there are other neighbourhoods in wilderness areas. “I have a concern when citizens believe a fence will protect them from bears and cougars. If they want to get in (to a yard), they will,” he said. Coun. Buffy Baumbrough questions whether other Sunset Properties residents will want fences. “If everyone in the neighbourhood wished to fence their property, then we would be faced with wildlife corridors impacted,” she said. While height restrictions are being changed for the 11 properties, any fences on city-owned right-of-ways will have to be removed.
The holidays are the perfect time to send our warmest wishes and to express our sincere appreciation for your business. We look forward to making your dreams a reality in the new year.

Lynn Semkiw lost her husband Ernie three years ago and Keith McLachlan lost a valued employee when the Vernon Towing worker was struck by a passing vehicle while assisting a stranded motorist. Following years of campaigning, ‘Ernie’s Law’ is in effect and signs are now up to remind motorists that they must slow down and move over for emergency personnel. the company. So touched by the incident, McLachlan vowed to bring the slow down, move over legislation to life – and after years of letter writing and campaigning he succeeded. “Helping disabled motorists shouldn’t lead to tragedy and hopefully this law will continue to provide all of us some level of protection out there,� said McLachlan, who has put slow down, move over decals on his fleet of trucks. Although McLachlan was the one who championed the cause, he says there were many people who were instrumental in bringing the legislation to life. They include the driver of the vehicle who Ernie was assisting the day he died – Larry Jackson, BCAA’s Traffic Safety Foundation, including Allan Lamb and Trace Acres, former MLA Tom Christensen, Supt. of Motor Vehicles Steve Martin, former Solicitor General John van Dongen and more.

McLachlan says it shouldn’t take a law to get people to slow down and move over when someone is on the side of the road. “It’s unfortunate that we’ve had to legislate common sense,� said McLachlan, citing van Dongen’s words. Although he has noticed more people slowing down, like Lynn, McLachlan is still seeing motorists speed on by. “We have been at scenes where people have not slowed down and moved over and police have given pursuit and given them a ticket, on lots of occasions.� When approaching an emergency vehicle with flashing lights, drivers are required to slow down to 70 km/h in an 80-or-higher speed zone and slow to 40 km/h in speed zones below 80. Failing to do so results in a $148 fine and three points towards your driver’s licence. Everyday BCAA rescues more than 3,000 motorists from a variety of situations provincewide.

hree years ago, almost to the day, Vernon lost a highway hero, an employer lost a dedicated worker and a family lost their father/ grandfather/husband. Vernon Towing employee Ernie Semkiw was assisting a stranded motorist when he was struck and killed Dec. Ernie Semkiw 13, 2006 by a passing vehicle. Since the tragic accident, B.C. legislation came into effect in 2009 to protect emergency roadside crews. Drivers are now required by law to slow down and move over for emergency personnel, including tow truck drivers. Highway signs have recently been erected in almost every community, including at the north and south end of Vernon, encouraging motorists to slow down and move over. But despite the legislation (also known as Ernie’s Law) and enforcement, widow Lynn Semkiw says she still witnesses drivers speeding past emergency crews. “There’s a lot of education needed still,� said Lynn, speaking out for the first time since she lost her 50-year-old husband three years ago. She calls the incident which killed Ernie, “a true accident.� Although it was preventable, she knows the driver never intended to cause any harm. And even though the driver was never charged, she knows the motorist must live with a much harsher sentence. “(The driver) has to live with this for the rest of (their) life,� said Lynn. As overwhelming as the entire incident has been for her, Lynn has one wish out of it all. “I would be very happy if I never had to hear of another family going through what my family had to go through.� Lynn says she’s not the only who has been emotionally scarred.

Track referendum endorsed RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A proposed sports complex now has the official blessing of all Greater Vernon jurisdictions. On Monday, Vernon council unanimously supported a referendum to borrow $7.8 million for a facility next to the local Okanagan College campus. “This will be a wonderful thing for Vernon and area. It’s long overdue,” said Coun. Shawn Lee. The North Okanagan Regional District has agreed to lease 10 acres of college property for $1 a year for 40 years. It would include an Olympicsized, rubberized running track, a regulation-sized field
“So much depends on a community being family friendly.” — Mary-Jo O’Keefe for football and other sports, and other amenities. “It’s not just for children but with economic development, so much depends on a community being family friendly,” said Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe. Mayor Wayne Lippert agreed to the referendum although he has expressed hesitation about the lease between NORD and Okanagan College.
“It’s an OK lease. It could have been better for Greater Vernon,” he said. Among his concerns are OC getting access to facilities the public paid for. Lippert says the complex could be beneficial for residents. “The community has been in need of a track for years, and the same with football. I am more than willing to have
this issue go to referendum,” he said. It’s not known when a referendum may be held because Coldstream must apply to the Agricultural Land Commission for a non-farm use in the Agricultural Land Reserve. It’s been suggested that a vote could be held during next November’s civic elections, but O’Keefe believes it should be earlier. “In the midst of municipal elections, it can get caught up with other issues. I’d rather the focus be on the facility,” she said of holding a referendum separately. Support for a referendum has already come from Coldstream, BX-Swan Lake and BX-Silver Star.

That decision was opposed by Councillors Shawn Lee and Mary-Jo O’Keefe. “In our official community plan, we talk about creating a youthfriendly city,” said Lee, adding that should include events that discourage drinking and driving. “We can encourage parents who provide opportunities to students graduating to make wise decisions. Our grads are our future and if we can preserve that future, we should.” Coun. Jack Gilroy
defended the decision to not provide the $500. “The kids work for grad and that’s what it’s all about,” he said. “With the mission, those people don’t have a chance.” A recommendation to provide $7,000 to volunteer firefighters to store, maintain and insure two heritage fire trucks was deferred so it can be considered as part of the 2011 budget process. “They are used in parades and other events as part of the city’s heritage,” said Jeff Carlisle, fire chief.

Kal Tire office moves ahead RICHARD ROLKE
A preliminary green light has been given to new headquarters for a major corporation. Vernon council has given two readings to bylaws that would allow Kal Tire to construct a head office next to its retail store on Kalamalka Lake Road. “It will be an 80,000-square-foot building on the property,” said Dean Strachan, a city planning assistant. One of the bylaws will rezone the site from service commercial to business park, while the other will vary the maximum number of parking stalls permitted from 151 to 362. As part of the process, Kal Tire has agreed to provide land for the extension of Pottery Road and Polson Drive. It will also provide a two-thirds contribution towards a traffic light at Pottery and Kal Lake roads. Support from council is unanimous. “We will be able to realign the roads there,” said Coun. Jack Gilroy, adding that the city is trying to ensure a large company stays in the community. “The Kal Tire office is a huge coup for Vernon. There are hundreds of jobs there so it’s important.” In a written report, Strachan points out that the head office will have about 250 employees to start with and there’s the capacity for future growth. “This project would have a lasting economic impact on the community by acting as a catalyst for additional redevelopment in the Polson neighbour-

Vernon RCMP are looking for a male suspect in connection with a robbery at a gas station Sunday night. Police were called to Super-Save Gas in the 3600 block of 32nd Street at 9:15 p.m. after a man had come in asking for a carton of cigarettes. “He then said, ‘This is a robbery, give me the cash from the till,’” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “The clerk did not comply with the request to open the till. The robber made off with the cigarettes.” No weapon was produced but Molendyk said a weapon was implied in the theft. The suspect is described as a man wearing a white hoodie-type jacket or sweatshirt, jeans and a black turtleneck that was pulled up to cover the lower half of his face. Anybody with any information on the robbery can call the Vernon RCMP at 250-545-7171, or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www. nokscrimestoppers.com.

Coun. Bob Spiers believes the concerns are realistic. “We could ram something through that they don’t support,” he said, adding that a solution to the problem would be requiring a two-thirds majority vote on major capital items. Lippert says there is no guarantee the census will change the voting structure, and even if that occurred, he denies that will block co-operation. “Vernon has been outweighed (at GVAC currently) but we’ve got along,” he said.

Jim McNamara, with the RCMP detachment, in a letter to the city. “We routinely have a significant number of police resources tied up each night during bar flush and having another club downtown will be an added burden.” Coun. Patrick Nicol believes council had no choice but to oppose a liquor licence. “It’s tough not to listen to your No. 2 in the RCMP on these matters,” he said. “This neighbourhood from a business perspective does not support this.”
Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe wanted the application endorsed. “I am aware of the problems at that corner but I have issues tarring the next guy that takes over that business with that brush. He should be given a chance,” she said. “Given the new liquor laws and how businesses are struggling to survive, I’m surprised to see this (application) come forward, but if this is the risk the owner wants to take, we should support that.” The city has received a 100name petition supporting the proposal for a night club on 30th Avenue.

“We have really enjoyed working with Val and we are pleased that she can continue to work with the Greater Vernon chamber in a volunteer capacity.” Trevis has been general manager since September 2008. “It’s been an absolute pleasure to work for the membership of the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce,” said Val Trevis Trevis. “The opportunity here at

Dear Realtor Mike, I’ve decided to buy a home. What advice do you have to offer in finding the “right” Real Estate agent to find the best property for me or to sell my home? Answer: • Find a licensed agent working full-time. • Experience and knowledge are key factors, so ensure that your Realtor® knows the market. • An agent with passion, enthusiasm and dedication will go the extra mile to get the best results for you. • Most real estate transactions today begin on the internet, so it’s important to find a tech-savy agent.
• Do your homework: ask for letters of reference or names of past clients to contact for references. • Respect and trust are paramount. Communication is huge. Ask your Realtor if they will personally keep you up to date. • You will need to deal with professionals such as an insurance agent, mortgage broker, home inspector etc. The Realtor® you choose should have a network at his/her disposal. • Set up interviews with a few Realtors® and feel free to advise them that you will be meeting with others. At the interview ask as many questions as you wish and do not let high pressure tactics interfere with your decision.

the chamber has offered me the ability to grow and develop my skill set while working with some incredible business owners in the Greater Vernon area.” While she was general manager, Trevis played a key role in the chamber moving to a new office downtown. “Additionally, the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce was the very proud recipient of the 2010 honourable mention for chamber of the year awarded annually by the B.C.

WINTER SEASON REMINDER TO SPALLUMCHEEN RESIDENTS
This is a reminder to all residents within the Township of Spallumcheen not to deposit snow onto any Spallumcheen Roads as this is a contravention of the Township’s bylaws. The safety of the traveling public is very important and the deposit of snow on the roadways is not allowed at any time and is a potential liability for ALL parties in the event of an accident. While the Township does NOT encourage the practice of pushing snow across the road way, we do request that any snow piles created are pushed BEYOND the shoulder of the road. This is also a friendly reminder to all residents whose property borders a sidewalk that it is the property owner’s responsibility to ensure the sidewalk is cleared and maintained of all snow and debris as per Bylaw 1787, 2010. Your cooperation in this regard is appreciated and will ensure a safe winter season for all. Season’s Greetings Public Works Department

In the past, Tabitha Lynn Weatherbee has had struggles with addiction. Now, her family fears Weatherbee may have fallen back into those struggles. Vernon RCMP have issued a public appeal to help locate the 27-yearold woman, who has had no contact with her family since Nov. 9. “She was last seen by her family on Oct. 26 when she appeared in a court on a family matter,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “She travels between Vernon, Kelowna and the Lower Mainland, and her family is concerned there’s a possibility she’s returned to Kelowna or the Lower Mainland and fallen back into her struggles with addiction.” Since the RCMP first put the notice about Weatherbee out to the public late Friday, there have been no tips as to her whereabouts. Weatherbee is described as a Caucasian woman, five-foot-three, 146-pounds with blond hair and hazel eyes. Anyone with any information on where Weatherbee is, is asked to please contact the nearest police department as her family is concerned about her well-being.

Competing priorities
O
ne person’s priorities may not even be on the horizon for someone else. That was the reality facing Coun. Shawn Lee Monday as Vernon council considered grants for community organizations. Things started off uneventful as all hands were raised for $10,877 for a new dining room floor at the Upper Room Mission and $15,000 for the Vernon Art Gallery, which has been hit by declining revenue while expenses continue to climb. But unanimity went out the window when a majority of council denied $500 for the Supergrad committee at Clarence Fulton Secondary. Lee couldn’t accept the finance committee’s recommendation that there are more pressing needs in the community. “In our official community plan, we talk about creating a youthfriendly city,” said Lee. Richard Rolke Lee insists it’s crucial that high school graduates have an opportunity to mark that coming-of-age milestone in a safe, non-alcoholic environment. “Our grads are our future and if we can preserve that future, we should,” said Lee, who openly challenged the willingness to hand over $25,877 for a floor and art gallery but not $500 for local youth. But Lee’s uncertainty about the process eventually plunged to even lower depths. The generally low-key, laid-back dentist could barely restrain himself when staff recommended $7,000 a year be spent so volunteer firefighters can store, maintain and insure two vintage fire trucks. Lee reached for the microphone and opened his mouth to respond, but he quickly decided otherwise and bit his tongue. His silence spoke volumes. The situation also didn’t sit well with Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe, but she opted to have her say. “We will deny high school students $500 but we have $7,000 for trucks,” said O’Keefe,
BEYOND THE HEADLINES
who successfully had the firefighters’ request deferred so it can be considered as part of the complete 2011 budget package. Forking out tax dollars has always been a bit of a blood sport. Some groups declare victory, while others see their hopes and dreams dashed. As much as handing out money should be fun, it creates numerous challenges for elected officials. The demand far outstrips supply, and the city can’t be seen as an endless bag of cash. Council also has to determine what is the best investment of tax dollars and that means it can’t be everything to everyone. It may only seem like a $500 request from Fulton but that could quickly balloon into $1,500 if Vernon’s two other high schools submit applications. All of those loonies start to add up. However, one can understand where Lee’s frustration comes from. In the OCP - Vernon’s planning Bible — the city states it will “work with community groups and agencies to support youth-oriented initiatives.” It also says there is a need to “identify mechanisms to promote and celebrate the contributions of youth in the community.” Unless the politicians put taxpayers’ money where their mouth is, the OCP is nothing but rhetoric. It’s a dangerous cycle when you start comparing the value of one group over another. Yes the $500 will keep some grads from drinking and driving, but the Upper Room Mission — which serves 200 meals a day — fills a critical need for many who have fallen through the cracks. An argument can even be made for art galleries and vintage heritage trucks which broaden our horizons and add to our collective culture. Lee stood behind his convictions Monday and his passion was a welcome departure from the generally drab, boring proceedings of council. But as long as he is sitting in that chair and is responsible for the public purse, he’s going to face challenges. Some groups will get the rubber stamp and others will get the boot.
Vernon council had little choice but to allow 11 property owners in the Sunset Properties subdivision to install fences higher than regulations permit. After all, it must be frustrating to spend countless hours growing vegetables and fruit, or investing time and money in landscaping, only to have it destroyed by voracious deer. Safety is also a concern if bears, coyotes or cougar start wandering into yards looking for food. Pets have disappeared, and there’s nothing to say that an encounter between human and beast couldn’t turn into a disaster, particularly if a child is involved. As long as the fencing material blends into the landscape and doesn’t infringe on esthetics, and wildlife corridors aren’t completely blocked off, then fences appear to be an appropriate solution to the problem. However, residents of Sunset Properties should remember that most of them purchased homes there because of the rural setting and wildlife goes along with it. The sound of coyotes howling in the distance, or the sight of deer in the yard should be considered a wonderful experience, especially in the increasingly urbanized Okanagan. Other neighbourhoods sit in forest just like Sunset Properties and there should be a concern that fences could become the norm. It should also be pointed out that fences create a false sense of security, and they may not stop a determined animal. The desire of Sunset Properties residents to address an ongoing problem makes sense, and city council had to act. But no matter what we do, we can’t isolate ourselves from the North Okanagan’s four-legged citizens.

Leave parks structure alone
T
he following is an open letter to our two local mayors, councillors, area representatives, and members of the
public. On behalf of myself, and the members of the Ribbons of Green Trails Society, I wish to express my support for the present GVS structure and function for Parks and Recreation services. I have been a member of ROGTS for just under seven years, advocating for, and facilitating, the development of public trails and greenspaces in the Greater Vernon area. I have always found present GVS Parks and Rec administration, headed by Al McNiven, a pleasure to work with, even though we don’t always accomplish the projects for which we have been advocating. Breaking up that administration would fragment decision and policy making, and that could be a real problem, both from a simple duplication of costs and adminisNICOL FAN I was saddened to read of Patrick Nicol's departure from KISS FM. He was always a gentleman in all his dealings with the public; his respect for others reflected class and character. He kept that important tie with the past, with the Saturday Afternoon Classics, which endeared him to many people such as me. He will be missed. We wish him well in future endeavors. Jan Gendron LIONS DOG GUIDES Our local Lions focus is to provide for our community in service and financially when we see an unmet need. This takes the form of such things as upgrading the play area of the park in Armstrong and many such improvements in Enderby, Lumby and Vernon. All clubs have an opportunity to help out with vision and hearing care. Now we have been offered another way to help people in our communities with disabilities through donations to the Lions Foundation of Dog Guides program. Lions Foundation of Canada has offered us a particularly wonderful opportunity in that the funds we send them up to Dec. 31, 2010 will be matched by funds

from an anonymous donor. I cannot fully describe the program in the space provided but will offer a brief overview: seeing eye dogs, hearing ear dogs and special skills dogs are bred and trained in Ontario at a cost of approximately $35,000 each. This cost is not passed on to the people who need these dogs but is absorbed through our contributions. Since most people are aware of the seeing and hearing dogs, I will tell you a little about the other jobs these well-trained dogs take on. They may be trained to assist people confined to wheelchairs, persons with seizures (they know when that person is going to have a seizure and take appropriate steps to ensure their safety), and children with autism. Imagine the emotional and monetary cost of caring for any one of these people, add the cost of having a caretaker for respite and you will have a recipe for potential family crisis. Now consider the pressure relief of knowing they will have a canine caretaker who will provide help or get the help needed. Imagine knowing that your autistic child will not stray too far when you turn your back because the dog is guiding and guarding him. For more information contact info@dogguides.com or

Joy McLean FOSTERING GIVING There are about 125 foster families in the Vernon area. In this “season of giving” it’s important to recognize these families who truly give year round. Foster Parents support our community in a very special way. They open their homes and their hearts to children of all ages and abilities. They support children through difficult circumstances - and they do it 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The goal of the Foster Care system is to provide temporary care for children and youth in a safe, loving, family home. Children come into the foster care system for a variety of reasons. Some children stay a few days, while others may stay for several months, or even years, before they return to their families, or move on to adoption Fostering is hugely rewarding, but often challenging. I am constantly amazed by the resilience, commit-
This of course fits with the general principle and benefits of other logically shared services and functions. I would be remiss if I did not raise the concept that many citizens of our community feel is long overdue, and glaringly obvious, but a word seldom spoken-Amalgamation. I have heard it described as –“a silly vision of what could happen if we could elect a slate of candidates in November who were committed to Amalgamation. Efficient, effective and lean administration, political unity and real leadership, an environment that might attract quality candidates, effective planning and efficient utilities! The mind boggles!” Those are not my words but the vision is a pleasant one in these times of local political infighting, uncertainty, and inefficiencies around providing the services we want in a desirable community.

POOR TURNOUT Recently we attended the Holiday on Ice celebration at Wesbild Centre with world and Olympic champions. I was ashamed to see that about half of the 3,000 seats were empty. With a population of about 40,000 this is a pretty dismal turnout. Imagine how the skaters felt looking into the half-empty stands.? This small turnout would be the reason more world-class acts don't come to towns our size. Apparently the performance on Friday night in Penticton was packed. What does this say about our town? If the people of Vernon don't support shows such as this, they will only see them in Kelowna, where this would have been a sell out! The show was absolutely amaz-

Good Samaritan’s efforts lead to knife confrontation ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The man saw an individual lying in the street. When he went to see if the person needed help,
the would-be Good Samaritan had a knife pulled on him. Vernon RCMP responded to an incident in the 3900 block
of 25th Street shortly before 9 p.m. Friday, after a caller phoned to say he’d stopped to see if an individual needed help as the man was lying down
in the street. “When the caller spoke to him, the suspect pulled a knife on him,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord
Molendyk. Police attended and spoke to the suspect, who police report was under the influence of alcohol, and, while dealing with
him, learned the 50-yearold man was on probation. “He was not to drink alcohol and to not be in possession of knives,”
said Molendyk. The suspect was arrested. He is expected to face two charges of breaching the conditions of his probation.
RCMP applaud bylaw officers ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Vernon RCMP officers are grateful for the help they receive from City of Vernon bylaw officers. Two bylaw officer working the downtown core noticed a vehicle Friday night weaving in and out of traffic. They contacted RCMP, who stopped the vehicle for violations, including a tail light being out, near the Village Green Hotel. Police found the driver to be under the influence of alcohol, and issued the driver a 90-day immediate roadside prohibition, and the person’s vehicle was impounded for 30 days. “Bylaw officers work very closely with our officers in the downtown core,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “They are, very much, extra sets of eyes and helping hands.”

Incidents keep officers busy

ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
While Vernon RCMP were dealing with a robbery at a gas station a block away, City of Vernon bylaw officers were busy with a theft file of their own. Two bylaw officers were patrolling southbound in the 3600 block of 33rd Street shortly before 9:30 p.m. Sunday when they noticed a pickup with its lights flashing, both doors and the vehicle’s alarm going off. A male suspect was observed by the officers walking away from the vehicle. “The officers saw him throw a small metallic object with a wire attached over a fence at the Boys and Girls Club,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson
“The officers saw him throw a small metallic object with a wire attached over a fence.” — Gord Molendyk Gord Molendyk. As the bylaw officers were questioning the suspect, he stated that the truck was his dad’s. That was just before he jumped the fence and ran from the authorities. RCMP were called and they along with the bylaw officers were able to detain the suspect. Officials also determined that the item thrown over the fence
belonged to the vehicle that had its alarm going off. A 22-year-old man from Cherryville was taken into custody for a breach of his probation. Police are investigating a possible link between the suspect and the robbery of a welding vehicle earlier in the week from Dodds Brothers Auction in Vernon.
CounterAttack targets all offences During the week of Dec. 6 to 12, police charged two motorists with impaired driving, issued three 24-hour suspensions – all drugrelated – handed out one three-day IRP and four 90-day prohibitions. There were two seven-day vehicle impounds for motorists caught going more than 40 kilometres/hour over the posted speed limit.

Seatbelt infractions beat out impaired drivers during the second weekend of CounterAttack road checks in the North Okanagan. Police issued one seatbelt violation ticket during road checks in Vernon, Coldstream and Falkland Friday evening, and another three during Saturday’s checks in Vernon, Coldstream and Armstrong. Three drivers were charged with liquor offences during Saturday’s CounterAttack. Other results from the weekend included eight tickets for other offences Friday, one drug seizure and 10 traffic warnings. During Saturday’s road blocks, 27 other violations were noted by police along with two drug seizures, one 30-day immediate roadside prohibition and two-90 IRPs. There were 13 traffic warnings issued.

Beam central vacuum cleans up the home and clears the air Central vacuum systems do much more than clean our homes. They clear the air so we can breathe easier. That’s especially important since we spend 90% of our time inside and Health Canada reports indoor air can be six to 10 times more polluted than outdoor air. Poor indoor air quality can lead to a number of health problems, from headaches and shortness of breath to serious allergies and asthma. Clinical research has revealed that a Beam central vacuum system provides a remedy for allergy sufferers.

The study by researchers at the University of California at Davis found that a Beam system is superior to a conventional vacuum in providing relief from allergy symptoms. Unlike conventional vacuums that can recirculate dust, a Beam central vacuum system removes 100% of contacted dust, mites, pollen, animal dander and other allergens, the study concluded. Trial participants plagued by conditions such as stuffy or runny noses experienced a significant reduction in their allergy symptoms when they used a Beam system to clean their homes.
They reported a 44% to 61% improvement in sleep, nasal, non-nasal, eye and emotional symptoms. Study participants also were more active and experienced fewer practical problems when they used Beam systems instead of portable vacuums.

Two well known upright vacuums’ soil removal fell 10% to nearly 14% from the start to the end of the tests, while the Beam system got rid of dirt consistently throughout numerous cleanings. “The Beam system delivered impressive, sustained cleaning capability from the beginning to the end of the study,” says Gary Asbury, president of PTL. “The Beam Serenity also maintained consistent emission control.”

Youth issues will have a voice in Lake Country municipal chambers. Council members have agreed to two George Elliot Secondary School students participating in discussions at regular meetings as youth councillors. “They won’t be allowed to vote,” said Coun. Noreen Guenther, who supports the move as a way of involving local youth in the community. “They will get experience in local government and it gives us, as councillors, a different perspective.” Council asked staff earlier this year to investigate possibly having high school students involved in council proceedings. “Other communities, notably Elkford, have tried this with success, and it was thought that positive benefits for the District of Lake Country would include more youth involvement in the community,” said
Hazel Christy, corporate services director, in a memo. “The principal of GSSS is fully supportive and has identified two candidates who she highly recommends.” The students will each attend one regular meeting a month

TAKING ON STRESS
interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly to the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.” Happy holidays and best wishes in 2011.

O
ne of my favourite pieces of prose of all times is the Desiderata. It was written in the 1920s by Max Ehrmann (1872 - 1945), and first copyrighted in 1927. Max was a poet and a lawyer who lived in Terre Haute, Indiana. Max apparently wrote to a friend, “I should like, if I could, to leave a humble gift – a bit of chaste prose that had caught up some noble moods.” I believe he succeeded. He died before knowing that his prose had become well known. If we lived by the wise words in Desiderata, it could be called a life-script, or a life Carole Fawcett guide at the very least. When I had the idea to share this with everyone for my December column, I had no idea that Max sent this to friends as a gift, in December 1933. I hope you enjoy reading his gift. “Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep

Q: A:
Many of us find that this time of year is the most stressful. All of these stressors affect how much “Merry” we have in Christmas.
Here are some tools that can help when dealing with the stressors we face during the holidays. 1. Go for a Walk. This simple exercise is wonderful for your body and it also can have psychological benefits by curbing anxiety and depression symptoms, improving mood and fostering a sense of well-being. 2. Journal. Writing your thoughts and emotions can reduce their intensity. 3. Eliminate Expectations. When we place expectations on a certain outcome it is easy to be disappointed. Let the future unfold and be in the moment instead. 4. Gratitude. Start and end your day with a list of 10 things you are grateful for. Say them out loud to yourself and to another person if possible. 5. Talk to Someone: If the situation calls for more support, call a trusted friend, the crisis line or talk to a professional counsellor.
Q: A:
What is photo rejuvenation?
Photo rejuvenation, also known as Intense Pulsed Light or IPL, is one of our most popular skin procedures performed for both men and women. It is one of the best treatment options for a variety of skin concerns. This light technology improves broken capillaries, brown spots, enlarged pores, acne, skin tone and texture. It also improves redness caused by sundamage, aging, rosacea or acne scarring. Our Syneron Medical IPL device is the most advanced technology available today and enables us to achieve optimal results in fewer treatments. IPL can be used to target skin conditions on the face, neck, chest, arms and hands. This procedure is extremely effective and very tolerable. A series of treatments every few weeks will ensure you have little to no downtime and will give you the best results and value. You will see your skin health and appearance continue to improve with every session. Once your series is complete, we will recommend the proper home care products to preserve your newly restored skin. Microdermabrasion can be performed 7-10 days post IPL to encourage exfoliation and fading of brown spots.

How do I deal with stress over the holidays?
Christopher Rehmann
Q: A:
The pipes in my house rattle and shake every time I use the washing machine or flush the toilet. What is the cause of this?
This is a common problem called “Water Hammer”. This problem often occurs when a valve closes suddenly and the fast-moving water running through the pipe is stopped instantly. This will cause a shock wave in the pipe. As a result of this you will hear a “hammering noise” and the pipe will shake. This problem can be quite bothersome and can also cause damage to your plumbing pipes and fixtures. Water hammer arrestors will help eliminate this problem. They are a small pipe like device that can be easily installed to absorb shock and reduce noise. Installation of the water hammer arrestor also helps prevent further damage to pipes and fixtures.

What are the advantages of buying a new vs. used home?
Since the introduction of the HST on July 1,2010, buying a new home vs an existing home has its pros and cons. The Provincial government has determined the average median price of a home in B.C. is now $525,000.The maximum HST rebate at this threshold is $26,250. So with this example, to calculate your net h.s.t. cost we take $525,000x12% = $63,000-26,250 = $36,750 (net h.s.t. cost.) Prior to July 1 when g.s.t. was applied, a buyer would have have paid 525,000x 5% = $26,250 on the same new home with no rebate because the threshold used for the average home was $350k.Any amount over $350k would have clawed back at a Buyer’s rebate on a sliding scale. So the same home post July 1 will now cost a Buyer approx. 10k more in taxes! If you now consider the full amount of net h.s.t.(36,750),this can go along way with renovations on a used home and further increase its value. If a home warranty is important, remember, a registered home warranty is transferable on used homes providing the coverage period still applies. Of course the advantages of a new home is you can have it custom built to your needs and tastes and you can incorporate the latest building technologies throughout the home with less inconvenience. It all comes down to where you feel more comfortable spending your dollars. Thinking of buying? Call me at 250-307-7318 to discuss a strategy that works for you!

I am considering using a wireless network in our new office, rather than paying for a contractor to run Cat-5 cabling through the walls and ceiling. What is the best wireless setup for a business? The short answer is “none”. While wireless may seem “cool” and is certainly less expensive than hardwiring an existing structure, the potential pitfalls overshadow any cost savings. Wireless networks are slower than hardwired ones and their connections can be quite fickle when combined with other electronics in the building. This is no way to route mission-critical data across a network.You must also consider the security risk involved with moving confidential data across the airwaves; even on a “secured” connection. You cannot beat the stability, speed and security provided with a hardwired network. Forget “cool” and go with what works!

Q:
Why would I want to do a cleanse and what does it involve?
Cleansing is a way to rejuvenate our organs of elimination, give our digestive systems a break, and increase our health and energy. Many common health concerns, such as headaches, PMS, joint pain, IBS, and fatigue, can be lessened or even eliminated by doing a cleanse. Cleansing is usually focused on the liver, the kidneys and the gut. There are many ways of cleansing, but the most common and simple way is to eat a whole food, ‘clean’ diet for 2-3 weeks, and eliminate foods such as dairy and wheat products, red meat, alcohol, coffee and sugar. These aggravating foods are typically harder to digest, and require more processing by the liver and kidneys. By eliminating these foods for 2-3 weeks, we give our bodies a break and a chance to heal themselves. While cleansing, it’s also a good idea to take supportive supplements to further enhance liver, kidney, and digestive system function. Cleansing is typically recommended 1-2 times per year. Naturopathic Doctors are trained to design a cleansing program tailored especially to you and your health concerns.

Q: A:
I have a home that is about 30 years old. The gas furnace is original to the home; I was thinking about getting a new one but my friend said if it’s not broken, why fix it. What do you think?
The average expected lifespan for a gas furnace is around 20-25 years. After that the failure rate goes up. If the furnace fails, it could introduce carbon monoxide into your home. This can be lethal, and it is hard for a layperson to determine exactly when this is going to happen. Also as your furnace ages it does not work as efficiently as it did when it was younger. Older furnaces typically function around 50% efficiency, this means that half of your heating dollar is going up the chimney. Installing a new high efficiency furnace can save significantly in your heating bill plus ensure that you will be safe from furnace failure. Installation of a new furnace is not as expensive as some think, and there are government grants available to help offset the cost. For more information on grants ask your heating contractor or me. 834-25th Avenue, Vernon - Phone: 250-542-4351

Quick service earns Go Award Morning Star Staff
Honouring a widow’s same-day request helped Richard Pierson of JC Bradley Jewellers Ltd. earn a Grand GO Getter award for outstanding customer service. Wrote the person who nominated Pierson for the GO Award: “My mother and I went into JC Bradley Jewellers to ask if it would be possible to size my dad’s wedding band to fit my mom, and to have the two bands welded together. “The clerk said that this could be done but
went on to say that it would take about five days to have this done. “This was upsetting for my mother because her sweetheart of 58 years had just died two weeks prior, and she really did not want to have their wedding bands off her finger for any great length of time.� Pierson, who was helping another customer, overheard the conversation, and stated that he could have this done on that day. In fact, it only took two hours for Pierson to complete the task.
“My mother was so happy,� wrote the nominator. “When I returned the wedding bands to her they had been polished and fit just right. She started to cry because she was so happy and sad at the same time to be able to wear such an incredible symbol of the love mom and dad had shared for 58 years.� For his effort, Pierson received gift certificates donated by The Best Western Vernon Lodge, a balloon bouquet, a GO Award travel mug and a GO Award lapel pin.
The GO Award, presented by the North Okanagan Employment Enhancement Society, recognizes superior customer service. The GO Award Program is sponsored by Tourism British
Columbia, Askew’s Foods, Shepherd’s Hardware Ltd., The Okanagan Advertiser, SUN FM, The Morning Star, Electric Paper Company, and many other local businesses and organizations.

Local law firm goes online with legal resources Morning Star Staff
A Vernon law firm is starting an online legal resource site. Nixon Wenger’s website – www. CanadianLawyers.ca – will feature substantive information about lawrelated topics, ranging from the workings of the legal system in Canada to landmark Canadian legal cases. “We are responding to a public demand for more web-based information on the law,” explains Nixon Wenger managing partner Doug Lemiski. “People want easy access to quality legal information and an educational resource, and they want to obtain it from a reliable and trusted resource. We seized the opportunity to be a provider, because we believe that it’s important to improve access to legal information that’s understandable – because ultimately that means a more informed public.” For example, someone who is injured will be able to find general information about their legal rights. A student who wants to learn more about studying law can obtain information about the schools in Canada and the scholarships available. The site is designed to be used by the public, so it’s easy to understand and easy to navigate. Links to other resources and answers about other types of law may be added in the future, and web visitors are encouraged to check back regularly as the site content will continue to grow. CanadianLawyers.ca
is organized into several sections, including The Canadian Legal System, Basis of Law, Courts, History; Legal Services in Canada and How to find a Lawyer; Canadian Law Schools and Becoming a Lawyer in Canada and a Just (ice) the Facts section showcasing Weird Laws and Cases of Interest. In addition, the site offers a dialogue with Nixon Wenger’s personal injury lawyers through Accident-Injur yLawyers.ca. Ac c i d e n t - I n j u r y Lawyers.ca aims to share Nixon Wenger’s knowledge of legal options related to accidents and injury. New articles will be posted weekly and visitors will be invited to ask questions via an online forum or to make comments on the articles through Facebook and Twitter. The new website is welcomed by Sylvia Lehmann, legal administrative assistant instructor at the Kelowna campus of Okanagan College. “I am always searching for resources that will enhance the educational experience of my legal administrative assistant students,” said Lehmann. “With the launch of this website it will be easier to research various topics from the history of the legal system, the functions and types of courts that are available, to current up-to-date information relating to personal injury questions, blogs, forums, and many more issues. I look forward to putting this website to use.” Lemiski said social media can’t be ignored. “It is now an impor-

Local boy brings OSO’s Snowman to life Vocal talent doesn’t fall far from the tree for 10-year-old Justin Moore KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
A 10-year-old Vernon talent is “walking on air” as he gets ready to take the stage with the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra in his hometown Sunday. Justin Moore, a Grade 5 student at Beairsto Elementary School and son to local soprano Melina Moore and tenor Paul Moore, is performing the lead role in an adaptation of the British children’s book The Snowman. Part of the OSO’s holiday performance of Let it Snow, which also visits Penticton and Kelowna this weekend, The Snowman is being narrated by CBC Radio Daybreak host Marion Barschel, and includes performances by a variety of Okanagan talent. “I’m really excited to be singing with the symphony and with (OSO music director) Rosemary Thomson, who is so nice and helpful,” said Moore, who will perform the song I’m Walking on Air with the symphony. The son of two opera singers, Moore is no stranger to performing in public. In fact, he left the womb singing and has performed numerous solos alongside his parents. He made his stage debut in A Merry Moore Christmas at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre when he was just four years old, and last spring he played the role of Gavroche in the Valley Vocal Arts’ production of Les Miserables at the Powerhouse Theatre. The youngest Moore has been studying vocals professionally for the last four years and is also an aspiring musician who loves

Vernon’s Justin Moore, 10, sings with the Okanagan Symphony this weekend for a special presentation of The Snowman. The performance is part of the symphony’s Let it Snow concert, which comes to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Sunday. everything from rock to opera. He has even started a band, Adrenaline Rush, in which he plays electric guitar and is lead singer. Moore is looking forward to his return to the stage, and says it’s a “super honour”
to have been chosen to perform with the OSO. “I’ve been working hard with my mom on my song and I can’t wait to hear how it will sound with all the players,” he said. “I
went to the last symphony show a few weeks ago and it was so awesome, and I just kept thinking that soon I’d be the one up there and I can’t wait.” Adapted to a musical score for television by Howard Blake, and based on the picture book by Raymond Briggs, the story of The Snowman is not far removed from the adventures of Frosty. “The story tells a tale of a little boy who builds a snowman that magically comes to life,” Thomson said in a press release explaining her selection. “They share many adventures through the night, including taking flight to the North Pole to meet Santa.” The musical version includes meeting Father Christmas, an addition which does not occur in the original book. The story has been adapted several times. At one point, the Academy Award nominated television adaptation that spawned the musical score included music icon David Bowie reciting the introduction. “The music is evocative and full of character and nuance that paints an aural picture of this beautiful adventure,” said Thomson. Also included in the concert will be Kelowna jazz artists Anna Jacyszyn and Stu Goldberg, who will play some favourite jazz renditions of Christmas carols such as White Christmas, The Christmas Song and Santa Baby. Let It Snow opens in Penticton Friday at the Bethel Pentecostal Tabernacle followed with a performance at the Kelowna Community Theatre Saturday, and concludes at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Sunday. All concerts start at 7 p.m. Tickets for the Vernon show are $40 for adults, $32 for seniors and $17 for a student/ child, available at the Ticket Seller, 549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.
Community gathers in support of transplant recipients Morning Star Staff
Two local and well-known artists who are needing life saving organ transplants have recently received some good news. Musician Kevin Kienlein of Vernon and visual artist Jaime Seward of Enderby are both slated for surgery as suitable organs have been found for each of them. On Tuesday, Kienlein, 50, who lives with congenital heart disease and has been on the wait list for a double lung and heart transplant, was taken by air ambulance to Edmonton as organs had become available. According to Tony Kohlruss, publicist of the Heart for Kevin campaign, Kienlein arrived at the hospital early morning Tuesday and was seen by his surgeon and sent to X-ray. He
was tentatively scheduled for surgery at 11 a.m. (MT) and the organs were to arrive at 1 p.m. for the five-to-six hour operation. Kienlein is expected to remain in Edmonton for four-to-five months as he recovers. “There are so many friends out there wishing for the very best outcome,” said Kohlruss. Those wishing to send a note to Kienlein can do so
through his Facebook page, or email fanclub.kevink@ gmail.com. With two successful art shows in Kelowna and Enderby this past week, Vernon’s Gallery Vertigo is opening its doors to help local artist Seward. The downtown artistrun gallery is mounting an impromptu exhibition and sale of works by the North Okanagan Artists Alternative member Friday
and Saturday. Seward, who has suffered for years from Polycystic Kidney Disease, recently learned that a kidney match is available and that a transplant is tentatively scheduled to be performed in January. “The North Okanagan Artists Alternative hopes to support the artist in her efforts to raise funds to cover extra costs involved in her upcoming medical treatment,” said Vertigo’s Judith
Jurica. As Seward runs her artist’s studio and a bed and breakfast/retreat from her home in Enderby, she will need some assistance as she convalesces in Vancouver for two-to-three months after the operation. The art sale will help cover some of those costs, and the work to be shown at Vertigo covers a wide cross-section from equine, to portraits, to landscapes and more in oils

Vernon Jazz Society
The weather may be changeable, but the Vernon Jazz Society guarantees a lively Saturday night out featuring blues songstress Cat Wells with Les Copeland and special guest Henry Piovesan. Wells brings her energetic style to the music of the three women she calls her idols: Billie Holiday, Etta James, and Janis Joplin. In keeping with the season, Wells will also perform some stylish jazzy Christmas tunes. Born and raised in Toronto, Wells began singing at an early age. Now based in Vernon, her performances have ranged from funk, rock, jazz and blues. A familiar voice on the local blues scene, Wells has shared the stage with the Ray Charles Orchestra, Kenny “Blues Boss” Wayne, and Harpdog Brown, and opened for David “Honeyboy” Edwards, ZZ Top, Crash Test Dummies, Jeff Healey and many others. When channelling
Pianist Piovesan is looking forward to reconnecting with Wells. “It will be fun to play with her again –– she has a gutsy raw sound and always performs from the heart,” said Piovesan. Piovesan started playing in bands when he was 15, eventually end-
ing up at Boston’s prestigious Berklee College of Music where he earned a bachelor of music studying with musical greats like Chuck Mangione, Mike and Pat Metheny, Gary Burton and Quincy Jones.

Local chanteuse Cat Wells, left, and guitarist Les Copeland join forces with keyboards master Henry Piovesan and others at the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday. Janis Joplin, Wells’ special Just About Janis show thrills audiences with her uncanny impersonation of the blues/rock diva. Wells is currently recording her third CD featuring her original material and an impressive roster of blues musicians including blues legend Sonny Rhodes. Copeland is no stranger to the jazz club. He headlined the second gig ever played there when the jazz society used to hold its shows in the basement of the Sandman Inn.
The master guitarist plays in a variety of genres including blues, jazz, flamenco, pop, and classical. For this gig, Copeland will perform original music from his acclaimed 2010 blues release Don’t Let the Devil In. He will also join Wells in the music of those fabulous divas and some Delbert McClinton tunes. Copeland began writing tunes when he first picked up a guitar at age 11 and began playing Nanaimo clubs when he was just 15
years old. “There was a lot more live music going on back then,” said Copeland. Blues legend Honeyboy Edwards holds a special place in Copeland’s heart. Copeland has toured with the Grammy lifetime achievement winner, and one of the only original living Delta bluesmen, on a number 6:00

Living on the road for the past two years in a converted shuttle tour bus in promotion of Let It All

Joe’s awards 100 wing winners Morning Star Staff
Chicken wings for a year could be on the menu for 100 lucky customers at Vernon’s newest restaurant and bar. Original Joe’s (Joe’s), one of Canada’s fastest growing casual dining establishments, is opening its newest location in Vernon. Providing fresh food made in-house daily and a downto-earth atmosphere, the new Joe’s is now open and located at Polson Place, across from the theatres on Highway 6 at Kalamalka Lake Road. To celebrate its grand opening, Joe’s will be providing free wings for a
year to the first 100 people in the door after 4 p.m. on Friday. The restaurant will be open for lunch, then closing at approximately 2 p.m. in preparation for its re-opening at 4 p.m. to award the 100 lucky customers. “We’ll be awarding 100 customers with wings for a year – that’s over $50,000 worth of wings in all,” said Adam Powell, area manager of Original Joe’s. “We hope that all Vernon residents will get to know Joe’s and experience the quality food, draught brews and fun atmosphere that we are known for.”

Panthers work home-court magic Morning Star Staff
Tournament MVP Emily Kanester flushed 18 points and grabbed six rebounds as the host VSS Panthers grounded the Sa-Hali Sabres of Kamloops 67-55 in Saturday’s final of the 10th annual PIT Classic. The Sabres went into the game ranked No. 2 in the provincial senior AA girls basketball poll. VSS was rated sixth. “We came out pushing the ball and making a very fast game to counter the height on their team,� said Bobby Mitchell, Cats’ co-coach alongside Lonny Mazaruk. “Our speed got us out to a 26-10 lead halfway through the second quarter. We kept our pace up and extended the lead to 19 points with six minutes to go in the third “Sa-Hali, a good team, never gave up battling right to the end. Our girls did an excellent job on their big girls. Bobbie Jones, Katie Pepper, and Sarah Kopp did an amazing job shutting down their provincial team post player (tourney all-star Nicole Karstein).� Britney Walton pocketed 15 points and eight rebounds, while Jones also sank 15 points and Hailey Jellema earned 10 points and six boards. Walton and Jellema were named to the tournament allstar team, while Kailee Streichert won the Panther Pride award and Michell Smith took the Most Unselfish honours. Walton canned 23 points as the Panthers rolled by the Oliver Hornets 83-63 in the semifinals. “Oliver came out to a good start, slowing the game down and playing a half-court game which had them leading by two at the half,� said Mitchell. “We cranked things up in the second half and got our up-tempo running game going and were able to get the lead and not look back.� Streichert supplied 15 points and 10 rebounds, while Kanester dialed up nine points and six rebounds. “Overall we are very proud of our team this weekend,� said Mitchell. “We have shown that we can play with anyone in the province and are doing this by a total team effort; every player is giving us something.
GRAEME CORBETT/MORNING STAR
VSS Panthers' Kailee Streichert (middle) drives to the hoop while being double-teamed by the South Okanagan Hornets’ Ashley McGinnis (left) and Rory Lodge in Panther PIT Classic Senior Girls Basketball Tournament play Saturday morning at Vernon Secondary. Our two rookies – Bailey Lim and Abbey Jones – both had great weekends and have adjusted very well.� The L.V. Rogers Bombers of Nelson iced the Fulton Maroons
50-46 to place fifth. Kelsey Thompson earned player of the game with 23 points for Fulton, while tourney all-star Sarah Fuhr led the Bombers with 29.
Tavia Lochhead of the Maroons also made the all-star team. The Maroons led Rogers by as much as 18 points before fading in their fourth game in two days.
“Kelsey was unstoppable in the first half and showed she can be an offensive force,� said Fulton coach Jim Inglis. “Tavia was outstanding as a floor leader and Danika Serafin really stepped up on D and whomever she guards is not going to have a pleasant time. If we work like this all season, we can be a force in the Valley. Last season’s graduated point guard, Carli Tingstad, has joined us as an assistant coach and will be a great help in advising our guards as the season progresses.� In junior girls hoops,VSS stopped Fulton 50-20 in Saturday’s final of the Mt. Boucherie Tournament. “Jenna Marrion had an incredible game at both ends of the floor,� said Panther coach Mike Bertram. “She was out on the break and backside rebounding and ended up with 16 points. She also played great defence on Fulton’s talented point guard, Sam Ferrier, holding her to seven points. To hold Fulton to 20 points shows the girls’ commitment to defence and rebounding.� Karley Fugel fired 11 points, while Sage Blundell added 10 and Quinsy Leier seven. Marrion was the player of the game. “All the girls played almost half a game and seven of our nine girls hit the scoresheet,� said Bertram. “The balance we offer, the fact everyone can score, and everyone buying into the defensive philosophy, has allowed us to get off to this good start.� The Cats opened by ambushing the Immaculata Mustangs of Kelowna, 61-12 with Leier going 12-for-14 from the floor to finish with 24 points, many from offensive rebounds to earn game MVP. Mary Rice also had a double-double with 11 points and 12 assists. Emily Pfannschmidt had eight points off the bench. VSS then stuffed the Pen-Hi Lakers 55-28, getting 14 points from Leier, nine from Katie Shaw, eight from Blundell and seven from MVP Rice. Kaelyn Parmalee from Kal also made the all-star team. Big Kahuna, Five Star Awards and Tamara Cinnamon from Sutton Lakefront Realty were the PIT Classic major sponsors.

Snakes steal Interior pole position Morning Star Staff
Darren Nowick can’t seem to buy a goal, even when he really scores one. After going 35 B.C. Hockey League games without finding the net, the speedy rookie forward got snubbed on the scoresheet as the Vernon Vipers skated to a 1-1 draw with the host Alberni Valley Bulldogs in B.C. Hockey League play Saturday night at Weyerhaeuser Arena. Nowick, a Long Beach, Calif. native, pounced on a loose puck after the Vipers’ Trevor Fitzgerald and Bulldog netminder Frank Slubowski raced for defenceman Stevie Weinstein’s bank pass off the sidewall. The boxscore credits Mike Zalewski for the goal, but Nowick and the Vipers know different. “It feels good to have finally scored,” said Nowick. “Stevie went over and got me the puck.” Added Vipers’ head coach Mark Ferner: “The guys were excited for him.” The Vipers, now first in the Interior at 20-8-3-6, pocketed seven of eight points on their four-game Vancouver Island tour, and are undefeated in their last nine games. Their last game before the Christmas break goes Friday against the Penticton Vees at the South Okanagan Events Centre. “It feels like our team is coming together, which is good because we’re going down the home stretch towards playoffs,” said Nowick. The Vipers dominated the Bulldogs (15-14-3-2) for much of the game, outshooting them 42-27. However, Alberni salvaged a point when second star Casey Bailey (15th goal) pushed Vernon to their league-high 13th overtime game by scoring a powerplay goal early in the third period. “We might play 72 games the way we’re going. We’ve probably played two more games because of overtime,” said Ferner. Slubowski recorded 41 stops to earn first star, while Viper netminder Kirby Halcrow made 26 saves and helped his team survive a four-minute penalty kill in OT to take third star. “We were pretty determined there (on penalty kill). We had a lot of blocked shots,” said Ferner. The Vipers, who went 0-for-8 on the man advantage against Alberni, will be without defenceman Philip Patenaude for the foreseeable future as he sustained a concussion when he was boarded by Tyler Berkholtz late in the first period. Ferner felt referee Steven Bratt should have assessed Berkholtz a major on the play, instead of a minor. “The ref made a mistake. It’s his responsibility to make those calls.” With Patenaude out and the Vipers down to four d-men, Nowick showed his versatility by taking a turn on the blueline Sunday afternoon, helping the Vipers shade the Nanaimo Clippers 3-2 at Frank Crane Arena. “I have played defence before (last year with the Los Angeles Jr. Kings), but I had to get used to the transitions and skating backwards again,” grinned Nowick.
GREG SAKAKI/BLACK PRESS
Vernon Vipers’ goalie Blake Voth smothers a shot from Nanaimo Clippers’ forward Myles Fitzgerald as defenceman Brett Corkey (#3) clears the front of the crease during the third period of Sunday’s B.C. Hockey League game in Nanaimo. Vernon won 3-2. After Victor Newell (4th goal) opened the scoring in the first period, Viper captain Dave Robinson (18th and 19th) jumpstarted his team with a pair of goals less than three minutes apart midway through the second. The Vernon native’s second was a beauty as he danced in on the rush and wired a shot post-and-in on Charles-Andre Pelletier (26 saves). Vernon’s Blake Voth recorded 14 saves for the win. Said Clippers’ head coach Bill Bestwick: “We learned a real valuable lesson from what I think is the best team we’ve seen this year. They beat us in every category – they scored more goals, they limited our scoring chances, they moved the puck well, they were hard on pucks.” Added Newell: “We weren’t in their face as much as we should have been ... We gave them a little too much space, a little too much respect, and we realized that.” The Clippers’ Leo Fitzgerald (5th) made it 2-2 early in the third period, but Zach McPhee fired the winner, his second goal of the season, at 9:50. Viper forward Todd Skirving applied a solid forecheck to generate the play. “It was a great effort,” said Ferner. “I’ve got to give a lot of credit to our dee, and I also put a lot of onus in that game on our forwards.”
Vernon rinks pocket provincial berths Morning Star Staff
A pair of local rinks will look to use home-ice advantage at the Canadian Direct Insurance B.C. Men’s Curling Championship, February 7-13 at the Vernon Curling Club. Skips Aaron Herrick and Darren Heath, both of Vernon, guided their teams to berths in the provincial showdown, presented by Kal-Tire, at the Interior qualifiers last weekend at the McArthur Island Sports Complex in Kamloops. Herrick, backed by Tobin Senum, Marc Fillion and Jason Wizniak, won four straight games to grab the A-event berth. They defeated Kamloops’ Brent Yamada 10-7 late Saturday night in the final. Heath’s rink of Gary VanDenBerghe, Ryan LeDrew and Darrell Houston earned the B-event berth, defeating Kamloops’ Rick Folk 8-4 on Sunday afternoon. Meanwhile, Royal City’s Sean Geall
took the A-event at the coastal playdown at the Golden Ears Winter Club in Maple Ridge. They advanced after grounding Royal City’s Bryan Miki 8-5. Miki dropped to brush back Brent Pierce 9-3 in the B final. The remaining four teams for the provincial championship will be decided at coastal playdown #2, Jan. 7-10 at the Juan de Fuca Curling Club, and the Interior playdown #2, Jan. 14-17 at the Prince George Curling Club. ■ The world’s curling elite will take the ice tonight (7:30 p.m.) at Wesbild Centre for the start of the $100,000 Swiss Chalet National. The three-pool, 18-team event gets underway with reigning Olympic champion Kevin Martin battling fellow Edmonton native Ted Appelman, Sweden’s Niklas Edin facing Winnipeg’s Kevin Park,
Winnipeg’s Mike McEwen tangling with Vernon’s Jim Cotter (Bob Ursel rink) and Edmonton’s Kevin Koe taking on Calgary’s Brent Bawel. Other notable rinks competing at the National include Glenn Howard of Coldwater, Ont., Wayne Middaugh of Toronto and the newly formed crew of Randy Ferbey and Brad Gushue. The round-robin wraps up Friday, and if necessary, tiebreakers will go Saturday. Playoff action begins with the quarterfinals and semifinals on Saturday, followed by the championship game at 10 a.m., Sunday. CBC Sports will air live playoff coverage of the event.

Alaska skiers storm NorAm
Tweens fire 10
Morning Star Staff/Cross Country Canada
Mark’s Heavy Haul Tween A’s stopped Vernon Junior B’s 10-4 in ringette action Sunday at Priest Valley Arena. Sydney Harder and Olivia Percy each scored twice for the Tweens, while Teigan Moore supplied 1+2. Catlyn Marshall, Megan Barss and Hannah Popilchak, Katelyn Paulin and Brenna Beck also scored. The North Enderby Timber Novice Dynamite split their weekend games earning an 8-7 win over Shuswap #2 Saturday. Strong defence was turned in by Carly Newman and Maria Alexis in support of tender Brooke Buller, who made countless saves in the dying seconds. Kenzie Koshure led the offence with a hat trick and an assist.
Alaska Pacific University athletes Lars Flora and Holly Brooks ruled the first NorAm Race Series of the nordic ski season Sunday in the Sovereign Lake Haywood NorAm and Teck Sprints. With a fresh snowfall overnight, some of the athletes found the snowy conditions suited them in Sunday’s distance freestyle skate races (15k for men, 10K for women). “The conditions were great,” said Brooks. “I was pretty impressed with how much snow we got last night, but yet, how good the conditions were. I thought we might be mid-shin in powder but the conditions were wonderful. It was kind of hard packed in the middle and a bit soft on the side.” Canada’s Perianne Jones and Drew Goldsack won the Teck sprints Saturday. The 25-year-old Jones, of Almonte, Ont., posted the third fastest qualifying time to advance into the head-to-head heats with the round of 30. Fighting her way into the finals, the seven-year veteran of the National Ski Team lined up against five Americans, and took them down in the finishing stretch to claim the gold medal. “I felt good today and I didn’t really stomp it until the very last stretch. When I looked back nobody was with me so I’m pretty happy,” said Jones, who has stayed back in Canada to compete domestically and regain her confidence early this season after a challenging Olympic year in 2010. “I think my preparation heading into this season has been much better and I’m feeling really good early in the season.”

Jones was joined on the podium by American’s Sadie Bjornsen and Jennie Bender, who grabbed the silver and bronze medals respectively. Meanwhile, in the men’s race it was Goldsack, of Red Deer, Alta., who led wire-to-wire. The fastest qualifier heading into the heats, the Olympian took control in the head-to-head showdown, winning each of his heats en route to skiing onto the top step of the podium. “It was a great day and a great way to kick off the NorAm season in Canada,” said Goldsack. “I have been feeling a lot better this year after a full year of training under my belt, and it is really nice to have some success early in the season.” Local racer Kate Eppler also loved the conditions. She was 13th in the junior/juvenile class out
of 40 on Saturday and eighth Sunday. “By the time I race, it was a bit snowy out there, so the corners were a bit hard because there was lots of powder and on the edges you sunk right in,” said Eppler. “It was a hard day but good.” Eric Byram was eighth on Sunday in the distance freestyle race in the juvenille/junior boys’s division The NorAm Canada cup series resumes in Rossland this weekend. Heather Mehain was 33rd on Sunday in the open women’s division, while Matt Wylie was 32nd and Skeets Morel 64th in men’s open. In Saturday’s classic sprints, Wylie was 12th in open men’s and Mehain was 26th in women’s. Jennifer Borchert was 32nd and Ivy Strother 35th in junior/juvenile girls.

Renegades win B Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Sun Valley Source for Sports Bantam Tier 1 Renegades iced Port Coquitlam Pirates 6-0 Sunday in the B final of a 12-team Victoria tournament. Austin Goss earned the shutout despite being run down hard at one point and affiliate Jeff Bouchon lit it up with a hat trick. Jake Dolinar, Carson Richards and Blaine Caton added singles. The Renegades received a large trophy and centre Curtis Sexsmith was named tournament MVP. Juan de Fuca won the A final.

Sexsmith had four goals, Caton had three and Mitchell Lukacs had two. The Source For Sports crew had opened play Thursday with a 2-1 win over the Saanich Braves with Lukacs scoring both goals in his first game back from the injured list. Later that day, the Renegades lost 6-4 to Wenatchee with Carson Richards, Leibel, Caton and Cole Woodliffe supplying the offence. ■ The Vernon Home Building Centre Vipers bounced back from a tough Friday-night loss to Prince George with a pair of Tier 1 Midget league victories, including a gutsy 3-2 win over the same Cougars Sunday at Priest Valley Arena. The high-flying Ethan Kalugin, assisted by Richard Meaney, got the Vipers on the board in the first period Sunday and the Snakes survived consecutive 5-on-3 Cougar powerplays to skate off with a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes. Prince George took it to the Vipers in the second finally beating goaltender Danny Todosychuk on a screened point shot, again with the man advantage, before Meaney restored the lead, assisted by Josh Vetter and Braydon Sophonow. The Cougars tied it again in the third before Trevor Pickett, from Kalugin, restored the lead for good and the Vipers withstood a 6-on-4 in the final minute to get the two points. Todosychuk was stellar, turning aside 48 shots. The Vipers scored three goals in the second period Saturday to beat the Okanagan Hockey Academy 3-0 at the South Okanagan Events Centre. Michael Hails stopped 25 shots to record the shutout. Meaney broke open a scoreless tie, from Sophonow and Kalugin. Then defenceman Ryan Beach made a sweet breakaway pass to Nick Pantaleo who went five-hole to double the lead. Pickett again rounded out the scoring, from Vetter and Kalugin. The Vipers entertain the league-leading Kelowna Rockets Friday, 6 p.m., at Civic Arena. ■ The Vernon Machine Bantam AA Vipers lost 7-1 to the Salmon Arm Silverbacks Saturday afternoon at the Sunwave Centre. The Vipers fell behind 1-0 just 11 seconds into the game. By the seven-minute mark it was 4-0. After a time-out by coach Bruce Silzer, the Snakes regrouped and put forward a much better effort. Jorden Dewing looked to score early in the second period with a high shot that appeared to hit the back bar, but it was ruled it went off the crossbar and was disallowed. Logan Revell, from Scott Latwat and Cadrin Filleul, scored the lone Vernon goal. Call-up Gabe Turner had a strong game for the Snakes. ■ The Midget T2 Coca-Cola Vipers clipped the Silverbacks 5-4 and lost 5-3 to the Westside Warriors in league games. Malcolm MacPhee scored first against Salmon Arm with Taylor Hamilton-Gee and Brad Jones getting the assists. Kyle Clark then scored, assisted by Ryan Dubetz. The Silverbacks reeled off four second-period goals before Vernon replied with goals by Dubetz
and Owen Barker, on a breakaway. Barker, assisted by AP Randy Todosychuk, got the third-period winner. Liam Revell supplied 2+1 and Barker scored once as the Vipers bowed to Westside in a penalty-filled affair. ■ The Sun Valley Source for Sports Pee Wee Tier 3 Sabres bounced the Winfield Bruins 5-3 despite having a number of players sick and injured. Brady Marzocco pulled the hat trick, while solid two-way games came from Reed Cashato, Jenna Fletcher, Nik Luttmerding, Samantha Head and Brian Ferguson. Conor Webb had another good goaltending performance, stopping 46 shots. The Vernon Veterinary Clinic Knights bowed 5-2 to Penticton in consolation play Sunday in their Christmas Classic Bantam Tier 3 Tournament. Cameron Hitch and Bryton Stead scored for the Knights, who got a goal from Hayden Chase in a 6-1 loss to Smithers Saturday night. Earlier, the Knights fell 11-2 to Abbotsford (Austin Derkach and Hitch goals) and lost 10-1 to Winfield ORY BIALECKI/MORNING STAR (Derkach).

Knight trio get All-star nod Morning Star Staff
With just two wins in their last 10 games, the North Okanagan Knights could use a little good news. It came with the naming of three of their own to the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League All-star Game, hosted by the Fernie Ghostriders, Saturday, Jan. 15. The Knights’ top three scorers – Shawn Holliday (11-23-34), Colin Minardi (12-14-26) and rookie Eric Chore (10-11-21) all received invites for the big event, which also features a Prospects Game on Jan. 14. Holliday, a 17-year-old Armstrong native, netted a goal an assist to earn second star in a 6-5 loss to the Kamloops Storm in KIJHL matinee play Sunday at Nor-Val Sports Centre. Goals by Holliday and the Storm’s Duncan Schulz (third star) had the game tied 1-1 at the first intermission, but the Storm (19-14-0-2) exploded for three goals in the first seven minutes of the second frame. The Knights’ Thomas Swales (3rd) sparked a comeback later in the period with a powerplay goal at 9:01, followed by strikes from Patrick Chore (10th) and Minardi (12th) to even the score again after two periods. Bevin Ollek put Kamloops back in front in the third period, but Tanner Burns (4th) equalized for the Knights (13-21) once again, only to have Dylan Richardson pocket the winner with 3:32 to play.

Even in her grief at the recent death of her father, Mariah Silva wanted to do something to help other people who are sad this Christmas. She came up with the idea of giving a small gift of hope with treats, warm mittens, hats, or scarves, and a message of hope. “I want to give hope to other people when I’m down. People who are homeless have lost a lot of things in their lives, their homes, maybe their jobs and their families,” she said. She remembered her teacher at Ellison school, Kim Ondrik, telling about giving gifts to the homeless years ago and how well it was received. Silva’s friend, Hannah Kalashnikoff, said, “Mariah is feeling sad and she doesn’t want other people to feel sad.” The young women, both Grade 8 students at Fulton secondary school, got busy asking for help. The students in the Certified Education Assistant class from Okanagan College were doing a practicum at Ellison and made a generous donation which was used to buy many of the items. A woman who lost her father when she was 17 understood and made a donation of the $200 worth of loonies that are to be included in the gift packages. The Schubert Centre donated the 200 cookies. Silva and Kalashnikoff were so successful with their fundraising that they were able to give a donation to the Good Food Box and to a long-term volunteer at Ellison school. They still need help with

Santa is ready to climb into his sleigh Joe Nussli has the suit, the beard and the Christmas spirit KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff
Joe Nussli may have officially retired in 1991. But to the hundreds of children whose lives he has touched, he will always be on the job as the North Pole’s top guy. From preschools to elementary schools, daycares to the First Nations Friendship Centre, Nussli spends most days in December dressed up as Santa Claus. Retired from his longtime work as a supervisor at Riverside
Forest Products, Nussli has spent the past 25 years donning his custom-made red Santa suit and his black boots. The beard, however, is real. Giving his own time, Nussli, 84, is paid in the smiles he receives from the children, some who boldly climb onto his lap, demanding extravagant gifts, others who are too shy to get too close or, worse, bring out the tears. “When I was still at Riverside, we had a Christmas party and someone mentioned something about a red suit. I told them to go get it, and I’ve been wearing it ever since,” said Nussli, who has four grandchildren, all grown. The original suit has been replaced, and Nussli now has four in rotation, all made for

stuffies and candy from various sources and fills individual bags with
treats for the children he visits — this year, the youngest was just five days old. “It’s a lot of fun and I still love it, I get such a kick out of the kids,” he said. “I had one little girl who told me she wanted a horse and when I told her that was a pretty big deal, she told me her cousin got a car.” Nussli keeps a binder filled with information about visits over the years, as well as upcoming dates, including details such as what every child received, from stuffed monkeys to Barbies. This year, some of his visits will include First Baptist Church, Lavington elementary school, the Boys and Girls Club and the North Okanagan Child Care Centre, as well as with a number of children
who get personal home visits each year. He is also planning a visit to Schubert Centre. Nussli gives credit to his hairdresser, Blanca, who makes sure his beard is trimmed and white, but refuses to charge him. And when Christmas is over, Nussli stocks up on candy canes for next year’s good-

PJs help Free the Children Morning Star Staff
Members of the Grade 7 Leadership Group at Beairsto school know that some children their age and younger in other countries work long hours sewing in factories. They decided to help support Free the Children, an organization that empowers North American children to help children in other countries. The idea to sew cozy flannel pyjama bottoms for sale to other students, family members and teachers got them busy in November. With material donated
by Fabricland in Kelowna and the help of parents Janice Morgan, Judy Burns and Marlene Quibell, they got to work, eventually raising more than $500 for Free the Children. “We made 55 pairs and sold all of them. We didn’t expect to make so much money,” said Amelia Smart. Principal Wendy Varley is proud of the students. “It was great. They did a really good job,” she said. All Beairsto students took part in pyjama day recently to show support for the project.

NOLAN’S
Things have changed
I
had just moved into new digs in OK Falls and some of my family came over to do a little condowarming when one of my grandsons, gazing at a device surgically attached to his hand, asked “Grandpa what’s the password to connect to your WIFI?” I suggested he check with the people next door. He did, got the password, connected in seconds and became engrossed in whatever teenagers are wont to do with these things. After everybody left I got to thinking about this incident and couldn’t help comparing it to an experiVernon PC Users’ Club ence I had back in the late ‘60s when I was the newly minted manager of the University of Calgary Data Centre. We had just installed a new IBM System 360 computer and one of our techies had discovered that it would support a remote console in addition to the one (an IBM Selectric Typewriter) attached locally in the computer room. A geology prof had got wind of this capability and came to see me with a proposal to place a remote terminal at the Calgary Stampede that summer. His department had been invited to set up and operate a booth highlighting something to do with the petroleum industry, which was the theme that year. Sounded like fun so we contacted Alberta Government Telephone to get our hands on a couple of modems only to be asked right off: “What’s a modem?” Not a good omen. But after many hours of diligent work by our techies to write the code to allow a remote terminal to query a database created by the geology department, and a lot of “inthe-dark” testing with the AGT folks, we finally got it to work. The database contained information on all
COMPUTER QUESTION
wells drilled since oil was first discovered in Alberta. The booth on the Stampede grounds displayed a big map of the province divided into numbered sections within which drilling had taken place. People coming to the booth were invited to pick a number and a depth to drill from a choice of three known oil-bearing horizons. Their choices were typed in and sent to the computer on campus across town where the database was queried. If oil had been struck in the section and at the depth selected, the virtual driller would receive a small vial of Alberta crude courtesy of Imperial Oil. If it was a dry hole they would receive a vial of sand courtesy of the university. It turned out to be a popular attraction and, with only a couple of glitches, our first attempt at remote communications worked well. Walking around the Stampede grounds, it was easy to spot the new oil barons if they had placed their bonanza in a pant or shirt pocket, because the first batch of the tiny barrels of crude apparently leaked rather badly! The Vernon PC Users’ Club meets the second Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Schubert Centre. Call Betty at 542-7024 or June at 549-7221 for more information.

Horoscope BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL There is a strong possibility that you could make a significant change in your social life in future months, when you meet a fun new group of people. This might happen because of a move or merely by chance.
PUZZLE NO. 203
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Even if you are in your usual convivial and friendly mood, if you go to a gathering at which someone you dislike is present, you might allow it to sour your mood. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) It’s not like you to be complacent, yet you might allow someone who is jealous of you to rain on your parade, instead of putting this person in his/ her place. ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 203
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. 100316

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) It’ll be your own fault if you discuss an idea about which you’re an optimist with someone who is a known pessimist, and you end up with your enthusiasm being considerably subdued. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Make sure you first clear up all your old obligations before going shopping and assuming new debts. It’s fun when you’re spending, but being a spendthrift carries penalties. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Even though you know there are always two sides to every issue, you may only want to see your own point of view. Loosen up, or you’re going to be asking for trouble. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) It won’t be a lack of industriousness on your part that holds you back; it’ll be creating more work by not checking and using the wrong materials, tools or procedures that gets you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’re the type of person who is gifted with having lots of good friends in many different circles, so don’t attempt to impose yourself on a small clique where you’re not appreciated. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Everyone gets their turn, and this could be one of those days when the odds are tilted in the other guy’s favor. Thus, it might be wise to avoid competitive career encounters.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) If you find that you’re hearing only what you want to hear, and making it worse by focusing only on the negative statements being made, take control and reverse that behavior. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) When you’re out shopping, be cognizant of your actions and try not to allow money to slip through your fingers. If you aren’t attentive of your spending, you’re likely to end up broke. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) A partnership arrangement isn’t likely to work out too well, if you and your cohort are pulling apart instead of working together. If you can’t find common ground, you’re destined to fail.

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.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder When we looked at this deal yesterday, West led the heart king against three no-trump and continued the suit. You took the third round (discarding two low clubs from the dummy), ran the spade queen, ran the spade jack, then played four rounds of diamonds to establish nine winners: three spades, one heart, four diamonds and one club. West, though, had a stronger defense. Since he had no entry, at trick three he should have shifted to the club nine. What would you have done then? Yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s readers will remember that Northâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sequence shows a maximum one-level opening (typically 1820 high-card points) with ďŹ ve-plus diamonds
and four-plus clubs. (With 2-3-4-4 or 3-2-4-4 distribution, North should rebid two no-trump. With 4-1-4-4, he has to lie by rebidding two spades or two no-trump; or he can settle for one spade and risk partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing.) At trick one, it was tough for you to anticipate this club switch. Take your time now. To get home here, you must play dummyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jack. East wins with his queen and returns a diamond (best), but you play four rounds of the suit, endplaying East. Whatever he does, you can get to your hand to take the successful spade ďŹ nesse. Note, though, that if you play the club ďŹ ve from the board, not the jack, when
3 Course Dinner East wins the trick and returns a diamond, you will be stranded in the dummy. You can play four rounds of diamonds, but East returns a club, putting you back on the board. You must play spades and will lose ďŹ ve tricks: one spade, two hearts, one diamond and one club.

Doreen Margaret Kathleen Steen (nee Stewart) was born on November 26th, 1921 in Winnipeg, Manitoba and passed peacefully into the presence of her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ on December 9th, 2010 at the age of 89 years. She will be lovingly remembered by her three daughters: Patricia (Fred) Klotz of Surrey, BC, Penny Steen of Toronto, ON, and Heather (Abe) Taves of Vernon, BC; four grandchildren, Kelly (Ralph) Schatzmair, Ken (Amber) Taves, Naomi Taves, and Destini Whillen-Steen; three great-grandchildren, Alexandra and Jack Schatzmair, and Kalya Taves; and a great many nieces and nephews in both Canada and the USA. Doreen was preceded in death by her husband, Jim Steen, and their two sons, Jim Jr. and Andrew; her sister, Audrey Knewstub; and her brothers, Bev and Denny Stewart. Doreen grew up in Winnipeg and was married to Jim Steen in wartime. They raised ďŹ ve children together and also took in foster children and loved them as their own. Doreen worked as a secretary for many years in various positions. She was active in her church and volunteer activities including the Junior League, Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aid, and the Salvation Army in Winnipeg. Later, when she moved out west to be closer to her family, she volunteered at the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Transition House and the P.I.N. Crisis Line. Doreen loved books and music, and especially enjoyed playing the piano and singing. She will be fondly remembered by everyone who knew her for her wonderful sense of humor, her loving and generous nature, and the kind way in which she listened. A private family Graveside Service will take place in the Pleasant Valley Cemetery where Doreenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cremated remains will be laid to rest with her two sons. A Celebration Of Life Tea in honor of Doreen will follow in the Fellowship Hall of the Vernon Alliance Church, 2601-43rd Avenue, on Thursday, December 16th, 2010 at 3:00 P.M.
