Liberal leadership candidate Christy Clark speaks to the media and party faithful during a visit to Vernon’s Schubert Centre Tuesday.
Leadership hopeful makes stop Christy Clark isn’t concerned about a potential lack of high-profile support locally. The Liberal leadership candidate made a stop in Vernon Tuesday, although current MLA Eric Foster and former MLA Tom Christensen are backing George Abbott in his bid to become premier. “I have lots of support from business leaders, community leaders and party members,” said Clark, who has performed well in public polls but isn’t getting a lot of endorsements from MLAs. “It’s natural that caucus members want to support the people they work with.” A former deputy premier, Clark has been out of office for four-and-half years and has been working as a broadcaster. She says that has provided an opportunity for her to listen to ordinary British Columbians and become familiar with their concerns. “I can bring a fresh look to the decisions government makes,” she said. “Government isn’t there for government, for Victoria, for Vancouver or for bureaucrats. It’s for
people.” If she becomes premier, Clark wants government policies to be more focused on families. “If a family is strong, a community is strong. The best way to support a family is with a job,” she said. As part of her leadership campaign, Clark has been touring across the province. “I have been outside of the Lower Mainland more than I have been in the Lower Mainland,” she said. “The reason I am doing this is I want to reflect my belief that what happens in rural communities is the most important in the province. I want to make sure (resource) wealth in local communities stays in local communities and I want to look at how to strengthen the economy so there are jobs there.” Clark admits that many British Columbians have lost faith in the Liberals over the harmonized sales tax. “The tax is good for the economy but a lot of people think the way the government brought in the tax is wrong. People are mad,” said Clark. “This (next November’s HST) referendum isn’t
just about whether they want a consumption tax. It’s about whether they can trust the government.” Clark insists there is a need for government to become more transparent and to move away from top-down decisions. “We should allow MLAs to really be the voice of their communities,” she said. “I want to make sure cabinet ministers are able to do their jobs, to take risks.” According to Clark, more open debate and communication is required within the Liberal Party. “That will send a message to British Columbians that we want to include them,” she said. Christensen announced Tuesday that he believes Abbott is the best choice for party leader. “George brings a thoughtful, well-reasoned approach to dealing with public policy issues,” said Christensen of the Shuswap MLA. “His record and experience from having served in some of the most challenging ministries in government, together with his ability to bring people together, is the leadership British Columbians need.”

The man showed up at the Enderby home soaking wet Monday morning, telling the homeowners he’d been pushed into the Shuswap River by unknown people. Feeling bad for the man, the homeowners took the gentleman in, offered him a hot bath to warm up and dry off his clothes. They were serving the man tea when the police showed up at the home and promptly arrested the house guest, who will be facing charges in connection with an incident that started at around 4 a.m. Monday in the 1700 block of Enderby-Mabel Lake Road. “Police were called to a report of a vehicle in the ditch,” reported RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “The driver had taken off from the scene and ran into the bush. The vehicle was still running and the ignition had been damaged, leading police to believe the vehicle had been stolen.” A police service dog was brought to the scene and found a track that went from the accident scene to the river. The track then went from the river to the residence where a 31-year-old man from Salmon Arm was sipping tea before being arrested. The Shuswap man is facing a charge of possession of stolen property.

News Rare transplant dream comes true Editor’s note: The information in this article comes courtesy of an e-mail sent to The Morning Star by Vernon resident and transplant recipient Kevin Kienlein, as well as from media relations at Alberta Heath Services. KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
I
PHOTO SUBMITTED
Vernon resident Kevin Kienlein is recuperating in Edmonton’s University of Alberta Hospital after undergoing a heart and double lung transplant. panic mode‌ Pack everything!� said Kienlein, who managed to whittle down his belongings to one small suitcase for an expected three-to-five month stay in the Alberta capital. After finding out he couldn’t leave from Kelowna due to foggy conditions, Kienlein was taken to Kamloops, then flown by air ambulance to Edmonton. Arriving at the airport, then the hospital in downtown Edmonton, Kienlein was admitted, then waited, and waited, until a room was finally found. Seen by cardiac surgeon Dr. Dennis Modry and pulmonologist Dr. Roland Nador, Kienlein was told they had a good donor from somewhere (names of organ donors are kept confiden-
tial) and were waiting for the organs to arrive. He also learned he was in good hands, as Modry implemented western Canada’s first heart and lung transplantation program, and performed his first heart transplant in July 1985, and the first combined transplant of the heart with both lungs in August 1986. “This is his favourite operation to perform, and this will be his 20-something heart and double,� said Kienlein. (Only 29 heart and double lung transplants have ever been performed in Edmonton since 1986.) At 11 a.m. (Mountain Time) Kienlein showered, and was prepped, shaved, and sterilized with what he calls “funny red soap in a sponge,� and he was espe-
cially relieved when he saw Modry enter the operating room wearing cowboy boots “A very good sign for an Alberta doc,� he said. In surgery at 1 p.m., the operation took four-to-six hours and Kienlein was in recovery by 7 p.m. “Tuesday, once I was out of surgery, I slept until Wednesday morning,� said Kienlein. “When I woke up I did not know if it was morning or afternoon, I watched what I thought was a sunset on the wall – turned out to be a sunrise.� Told by Dr. Nador he was recovering “exceptionally� well, Kienlein was later informed by an OR nurse that his new lungs were “white and pristine,� indicating they were possibly obtained from a younger
person and a non-smoker. He was also shown a mirror, and after years of skin discolouration from poor circulation, he saw for the first time that his lips were pink. “I now have pink lips that still dribble drivel,� he joked. That afternoon Kienlein had his breathing tube taken out, which is normally left in for a few days or longer. “I think everyone is astonished at my recovery,� said Kienlein. “When I came out of surgery there were 18 (intravenous) bags of various sorts. As of this writing, I am down to five or six, which will be less by the end of the day. I had one of four chest tubes taken out today and had a PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter)

t was Monday, Dec. 13 at 1 a.m. and night owl Kevin Kienlein was on his computer Facebooking, writing e-mails and getting ready for bed, when the phone rang. Used to receiving calls late at night from fellow musicians and friends, Kienlein noticed this call was from an unusual area code, 780, in Alberta. Tentatively lifting the receiver to his ear, the caller asked, “Is this Kevin Kienlein?� After responding yes, the 50-year-old Vernon resident heard the words that would forever change his life: “This is Marie, transplant coordinator at the University of Alberta transplant program, we may have some organs for you, are you ready?� Born with a congenital heart defect, Kienlein has been on a wait-list for an extremely rare heart and double lung transplant since March 3, 2009. (Only a few of these transplants are performed in Canada every year, and none have been done in the country the past two years.) After it was confirmed that organs were indeed available, Kienlein and his support team, including Edmonton’s Lois Roper and Jeanne Byron, quickly helped him get ready for his trip to Edmonton, which had to take place the very next morning. “I called mom and got in
line yesterday. “Thursday I had three meals of Jell-O, pudding and soup. I had an epidural spinal that will come out in the next two days. I will get booked to the general ward Sunday or Monday.� Kienlein wants to thank and honour the donor of his new organs, whom he believes was a special and loving person, and says his or her commitment to giving someone else life when he/she could no longer live is a remarkable gift. “Organ donations are not about giving up part of yourself to keep a total stranger alive. It’s really a total stranger giving up almost all of themselves to keep part of you alive,� he quoted, adding, “Miracles happen in Edmonton. I just got my fourth birthday – birthday, baptism, confirmations, and life #2.� Those considering organ donation as part of their Christmas gift giving can get more information at www. transplant.bc.ca. Kienlein remains in Edmonton for ongoing rehab recovery for the next three-tofive months. Those wishing to contact him can do so via the Friends of Kevin Kienlein page on Facebook, or his own FB page, e-mail info@kevinkienlein.com or send mail to his support person’s postal address: Lois Roper, 1441 Highwood Blvd. Devon, AB, T9G 2E9.

ship cannot succeed when there are philosophical differences, a lack of common goals and distrust.” Coldstream Coun. Maria Besso agrees with Macnabb that separation from the service is the best route, considering all the debate. “We went through an 11-month process and it is disappointing to get to that stage where we were,” said Besso. “We were almost at a point that they want us to go back.” The issue will come forward at the Jan. 5 board of directors meeting, where there is the potential for some sort of function to be rebuilt.
“I understand there’s the intent to put something back together,” said Cochrane, weary that whatever is rebuilt won’t be as good. “At some point there could be discussion whether the parties are going to continue supporting those facilities (Wesbild, Performing Arts Centre, recreation complex, etc.),” said Cochrane. If region-wide support is not there and Vernon takes over control of the facilities, Cochrane warns Coldstream residents (and others outside of Vernon) could face restricted access and/or user fees if they want to go skating or attend a
performance. “All the taxpayers in Greater Vernon are going to lose out,” said Cochrane. He also questions how receptive residents will be to supporting the sports facility at Okanagan College when government co-operation cannot even be achieved. Cochrane doesn’t want the parks function broken up and feels it could have been saved. “I’ve just been involved too long to see it all torn apart.”

Avalanche alert issued to snowmobilers ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Conservation officers are asking snowmobilers to be wary of avalanche conditions now that sledding season is in full swing. Revelstoke-based Canadian Avalanche Centre has placed signs on public highways asking snowmobilers to check avalanche conditions before heading into the hills. “We encourage people to do that for public safety,” said North Okanagan conservation officer Josh Lockwood. “There’s no worse way to end your holiday than with a fatality due to an avalanche.” Avalanche conditions are just one factor conservation officers are warning sledders about. The officers will be conducting road checks in conjunction with RCMP traffic department to make sure sleds comply with provincial all-terrain regulations that have been in place since 1980. “Every snowmobile in B.C. must be registered,” said Lockwood. “If it’s bought in another province, it will be registered there, and you are required to re-register the machine in B.C.” Snowmobiles must also have a vehicle identification decal – a yellow snowmobile decal – on their machines. If not, sledders will be issued a ticket. Conservation officials encourage sledders to use Crown lands, but stay off of private property. “It’s an offence to snowmobile on private property without permission,” said Lockwood. “It’s an offence to ride on railroad tracks, plowed forest service roads and highway right-of-ways, which includes the ditch from fence-to-fence.” Alcohol and any type of motorized vehicle are not a good combination, said Lockwood, reminding snowmobilers they can be charged if found to
be impaired on a machine. If you’re involved in a snowmobile accident, you have 24 hours to report the incident to conservation or RCMP officers.

In a memo to council, finance manager Kevin Bertles doe not recommend the adoption of the current financial plan. “While it meets council’s goals of zero per cent, it does so at the expense of several program cuts, and additionally at the expense of provisions for future known expenditures,” he said. To correct the revenue, funding side, Bertles says there is a requirement for a sig-

Morning Star Staff
Coldstream firefighters prevented a blaze from becoming more destructive. Crews converged on the 9300 block of Giles Drive just before 4 a.m. Sunday after receiving a report of a burning truck next to a house. “We hit it hard and fast. The fire was starting to go into the attic of the carport,” said chief Leo Lecavalier. “Once a fire is in the attic, it’s free to go right across the whole structure. A quick response made the job really easy for us.” Lecavalier gives credit to the 20 volunteer firefighters on scene. “The house was saved. There was very minimal damage to the house,” he said. It’s not known who reported the fire to authorities, but Lecavalier says that receiving the information in a timely fashion also allowed the firefighters to respond quickly. The truck was completely destroyed by the flames. An occupant of the house had returned home just a few hours before the fire started, and it’s believed the blaze may be linked to an electric block heater. “The cord was badly burned but we’re not finished investigating yet,” said Lecavalier.

A rock and a hard place
N
ot all of the drama was on the ice at Wesbild Centre Sunday. Just as the Martin and Stoughton rinks were preparing to do battle in the Swiss Chalet National, a group of curling enthusiasts were fighting to keep their seats. They had been sitting in the B to H sections since Wednesday, but on Saturday, they were warned that they would have to abandon those spots and shift to the west side of the building for Sunday’s 10 a.m. final. The reason: national TV crews would be on hand and there was the need to give the impression of a full house when the cameras panned over the stands. Doug and Jackie Belcham were not Richard Rolke impressed. “We paid for them a year ago,” said Doug of their seats in D section (at a cost of $162 each). The Belchams were among the very first people to purchase tickets and they made the trek down from 108 Mile House to take in the world’s greatest male curlers. They are huge fans of the sport and had carefully selected their seats in advance to ensure a perfect vantage point. There was no advance notice that they may have to move to satisfy the needs of CBC. Others chose the east side of the building because of mobility issues and handrails are present (they are missing on the west side). What greeted them Sunday morning was yellow security tape closing off sections B to H. In some cases, fences were up, and volunteers were directing people to the west side. Some of them complied, including a 94-year-old Second World War veteran, who had to climb back up the stairs and tripped as he was trying to bend under the security tape. But others weren’t so agreeable.
BEYOND THE HEADLINES
The Belchams and others sitting in D section — they described themselves as the Posse — decided they weren’t moving. Despite pleas from volunteers and the prospect of security showing up, they claimed the seats that had been their’s for days. Ticket sales for the National were modest, with only a few hundred people in the stands at any one time. Even if the 100-or-so fans in sections B to H had agreed to sit on the west side, vast holes would have still been evident. I also doubt that someone watching the game back at home in their recliner is actually counting heads. They wanted to see Jeff Stoughton and Kevin Martin and whether there were two fans or 2,000 was insignificant. For the athletes, obviously they’d rather perform before a full house, but they’re going to curl no matter what, particularly because there are big bucks at stake. The bottom line, though, is that while most people went about their Christmas shopping and didn’t contemplate curling, here were a group of dedicated fans who had invested their hard-earned money into the sport. For those few days, they owned the seat numbers printed on their passes, and evictions were over-thetop. Organizers also placed volunteers in an unacceptable situation as they had to try and keep the sections closed. These people had freely given their time so the community could host a major sports event, and in the process, they had to endure frustrated ticket-holders. Curling is supposed to be about camaraderie. It’s a sport where on-ice competitors shake hands and joke in between play, and athletes are completely approachable to fans. So the seat debacle left some with a bitter taste in their mouth. However, the actions of the Posse demonstrated that curlers are a passionate bunch and even unrealistic bureaucracy isn’t going to stop them from having a good time.
The staff recommendation that Vernon council abandon its goal of a zero per cent tax increase makes some sense. After all, money is needed to provide services that residents either require or demand. Running those services is becoming more expensive as the cost for labour, utilities and supplies climb. And anyone that was around in the 1990s knows that a series of tax freezes left infrastructure ailing. Eventually, double-digit hikes were needed to begin the long road to recovery. However, Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe is correct when she suggests city staff may be out of touch with the conditions facing taxpayers in a recession. Unlike many residents, they continue to get their wages and benefits — and well-paying packages at that. There is also the reality that while many businesses have had to chop staff, city hall has had a spike in hirings over the last few years. The need to cover those salaries places even more financial pressure on residents and businesses to make ends meet. Staff warns that a zero per cent wage increase may lead to program cuts. But that isn’t necessarily a bad thing as long as critical services — those impacting safety — aren’t touched. Cities can’t be all things to all people, and some initiatives may have to be phased out. One also has to wonder if city staff can look at the financial situation objectively when it may be their jobs or pet projects on the line. Ultimately, it is staff’s responsibility to present options to council, but the onus is on the politicians to make the final decision, and taxpayers must live with the repercussions.

"
In any given year, about 10 per cent of Canadians don’t have enough money to make ends meet." This is a quote from the Hunger Count 2010 article available on Food Banks Canada's website. Why is this important? Well, food banks are up nine per cent from March 2009, however, television shows like the Iron Chef have anywhere from 1.8 million to 2.26 million viewers for a season. Tons of money is being put into marketing cook-off shows in which the food prepared is being fed to the already rich and nourished people in the food industry. A show stemmed from the passion of food, the art of creating is being used to feed people who have enough money to feed themselves. The recession is no joke. The reality is that millions of people were laid off between 2008 to present, food costs
NICOL WILL BE MISSED I have no idea what has caused the demise of Patrick Nicol, but what I do know is that I will miss him on the radio. He was always so knowledgeable about music, sports or whatever. Whenever I put the radio on and Patrick was the announcer, I knew I was in for a treat and some interesting trivia. Good-bye Patrick, and the very best to you. I am sure I am not the only one who will miss you and your voice on air. Myrna Hastie POLITICAL ARROGANCE The arrogance of some B.C. politicians shocks me. Our MLA, Eric Foster, feels that British Columbia's recall legislation, the only legislation of its kind in Canada, is improperly targeting the government instead of individual MLAs. I guess he feels the heat from his own constituents. Nobody need feel bad for any sitting Liberal MLA, as they are all facing the same scrutiny. The plain truth is that Foster doesn't get to pick and choose what the recall legislation does. We, the

people, do. It's not his place to decide how he is perceived by his constituents. He toed the party line and will pay the price. His bed was made well over a year ago. It's only fair that he be made to lie in it. Ryan Painter SPEAK UP Recently the Conservative party forced closure on the debate on Bill C-474. This bill was asking for analysis of potential harm to markets from the contamination of genetically modified organisms. The closure on debate came the day before farmer groups were supposed to speak in favour of the bill. In a one-on-one with Colin Mayes, my MP told me that farmers were asking for GMO plantings. Why were the president of the farmers' union and representatives of the alfalfa and wheat growers there asking to support this bill? One reason, as with the flax growers a year ago, the possible loss of export sales. Although under huge pressure to change, Europe does not allow GMOs into the direct food chain. I was told that the farmers wanted the increase in production or the drought resistancy that is promised

from the makers of GMOs. There are no crops that are made to have these traits. The only crops that have been brought in have either a pesticide or are herbicide resistant. Presently, one state is suing a multinational company, because they will not or cannot produce study results showing increased production that they promise. The only real study that has been done in this direction was sponsored by the UN and the World Bank. It included some 400 scientists are well as three multinationals. The three industry giants pulled out three months before the final report because of the poor showing of their crops. Another reason farmers are asking for protection is that GMO crops have a patent on them. If a GMO crop crosses with a natural or organic crop, that grower must now pay the maker of the GMO a fee in order to grow, no matter how the contamination happened. The health issues are a whole other story. The final vote for Bill 474 will come soon. Back your local farmers if you want choice in your food. I would encourage you to contact your MPs and let them know what
Yet, it is a fact that season four of the Iron Chef had 2.26 million viewers. A solution: Why not allow these food competition television shows continue, but instead of feeding famous food critics, feed the hungry? Most people don't get to experience caviar, or any delicacies, so why not let them have a go? Why not let the hungry people critique the food? Why not use the left-overs to feed the hungry? You watch the show go on as pounds of food is thrown into a garbage can - to waste. It is my goal to bring light to this issue. I agree we should feed people within our country before we extend help to other countries, but we should be feeding the hungry before we feed people who are wealthy and probably go home to a fridge full of stocked food.

David James HELPING PAWS I am from National Service Dogs (NSD), a non-profit children's charity that specializes in training certified service dogs for children with autism. Every October, we partner with Petland to sell paper paws for $2 in support of a local child from our wait list. This year, we had 18 stores across four provinces participate, fundraised for five children and raised more than $20,000 in just one month. Our dogs are valued at $30,000 over their seven to nineyear working life so, as you can imagine, $20,000 will go a long way in helping the children on our wait list. Four stores from B.C. (including Vernon) helped double last year's donations of just over $7,000. Without the hard work from the Petland staff within the stores and the corporate office, this would not have been possible. I'd like to thank all Petland staff and the local community for par-

Medication stolen from Enderby residence Morning Star Staff
RCMP are putting out an appeal to residents not to let strangers into their home following an incident in Enderby Friday. Two native women approached a senior and asked to use the washroom. “Once inside, they stole some items, predominantly medication,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. While it may seem like a Good Samaritan thing to do, RCMP warn that people will target seniors or older folks and take advantage of their good will. “These type of individuals have ulterior motives,” said Molendyk.
“They’re at the home for totally the wrong reasons.” Molendyk said once
a stranger is allowed into a home, the homeowner becomes vulnerable.
Police are still trying to identify the two women involved in Friday’s incident.

Schiman, who said during an interview with CBC-TV’s Scott Russell that she was a big fan of local curling hero Jim Cotter, will have a second option, should she qualify to throw a stone for big bucks. A new twist to the Million Dollar Button allows the contestant to decide to throw for $100,000, but with assistance from three of the athletes competing in the final. “I would probably choose the broom, and the sweeping thing,” said Schiman, who was the last of the six contestants on Sunday to throw her stone.

Teri Schiman has never curled before but she threw a winning stone toward the Capital One Million Dollar Button Sunday. The Vernon resident was up against five other B.C. fans in the qualifying round for the national contest. The closest throw to the button earned her a trip to Oshawa, Ont. for the Capital One Grand Slam final. “My son is an awesome curler,” said the 37-year-old Schiman, who participated in the contest during the Swiss Chalet National at Wesbild Centre Sunday. “I threw four practice rocks Saturday, and he was there helping me.” When her stone slid to a stop in the back eight-foot ring, the crowd erupted in cheers.

by WETT (Wood Energy Technology Transfer). This WETT certified person would inspect the stove to see if it conforms to CSA B-365, ULC or other certifying agency’s criteria which would satisfy the insurance company.
Answer:
General inspection and proof of maintenance from the Sellers would also help you to be satisfied of the safe operating condition of the stove and chimney.
Usually the insurance industry requires homes with wood stoves to be inspected. This often is done by a person who has been trained

Libraries close for Christmas
The best Christmas gift you can give your family and yourself is the joy of being together…
Morning Star Staff
All of us at National Bank Financial wish you and your family the very best for this Holiday Season.
All branches of the Okanagan Regional Library will be closed during the holiday season from Thursday to Jan. 2. “Branches will close at their normal operating hours Wednesday and reopen Jan. 3 or thereafter depending on their normal operating hours,” said Marla O’Brien, public relations officer. “All branch hours are posted at www.orl.bc.ca under the branch name. The ORL website and online catalogue will be accessible at all times.” During the holiday closure, all book bins will be locked for security reasons. “Any items damaged or missing as a result of being left outside of branches will be the customer’s responsibility,” said O’Brien. “However, items will not be due over the closure. Loan periods are being lengthened so items that have a typical three-week loan period will not be due until January.”

Scott Ferguson (left), Vernon Canadian Tire store general manager, and Pure Fishing district sales manager Harry Coliva present Terry and Melody Cross, of West Kelowna, with their grand prizes in Canadian Tire’s Catch, Click and Win contest. In the boat, enjoying the prizes, are the Cross’ grandsons, Keir and Connor.
Fisherman reels in top prize ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
It’s a good thing Terry Cross listened to his wife, Melody. As the West Kelowna couple were flipping through a Canadian Tire flyer, they came upon an ad for a national Canadian Tire contest called Catch, Click and Win, where people were encouraged to send in their best fishing photos. A fisherman all of his life, Terry Cross figured he must have had some kind of picture he could enter. And it was Melody who encouraged him to enter one with their grandkids, Connor and Keir, who live in Vernon.
Terry entered the photo in June and, in September, he got a phone call from legendary Canadian fishing host Bob Izumi, informing Terry he’d won the Catch, Click and Win contest. “It’s unbelievable,” said Terry, in Vernon with Melody, Connor and Keir to collect their prizes. “When I got the call, it said ‘Ontario’ on call display and it was Bob calling to tell me. I thought it was a joke. I said, ‘Who is this calling?’ and Bob said, ‘You have to watch my show more often.’” It was no joke. Terry won a WC 16-foot DLX boat from Lund, complete with a trailer, a Mercury 30-horsepower

motor, life jackets, fishing rods, a tent, lawn chairs, a cooler full of goodies, and a camp kitchen and grill from Coleman. “The idea behind Catch, Click and Win was to have people submit photos of their catches,” said Scott Ferguson, Vernon Canadian Tire general manager. “This was a nation-wide event, from Nova Scotia to B.C.” Ferguson and Pure Fishing B.C. district sales manager Harry Coliva presented the Cross’ with their prizes. Terry can’t wait to put his prizes to use. “My sons have already been phoning, asking when can we go out?” he laughed.

It’ll be like New Year’s Eve in New Orleans Swamp boogie stomp to Kelowna’s John Lee Sanders when he rings in 2011 at the Vernon Jazz Club DVOIRA YANOVSKY Vernon Jazz Society
Join celebrated Louisiana bluesman John Lee Sanders when he returns to the Vernon Jazz Club to headline a special New Year’s Eve performance. Steeped in the jazz, blues, funk, and gospel music of the Louisiana Mississippi Delta, Sanders, who is now based in Kelowna, is famed for his boogie piano, Texas tenor sax, and vocals that burn with fiery soul or melt with a smoky cool. Besides the old favourites, Sanders’ performances include many of his own celebrated tunes. “I’ll be playing Foreclose on the House of Love, the 2004 Blues Song of the Year nominee from the American Blues Awards,” said Sanders. “That song made it to number nine on the radio blues charts.” Sanders will also perform the title song from his CD Bucket Full of Blues, which won the 2009 B.C. Interior Music Awards best blues, soul, and hip hop CD, and the autobiographical tune It’s All Blues to Me about musical childhood memories. Sanders’ songs, voice and scores are often heard on radio and television, and his sexy jazz ballad Just One Kiss from the soap opera The Bold and The Beautiful received a best song Emmy nomination in 2007. Sanders’ musical journey began back in 1953 when his family moved to Jackson, Miss., home of the Delta blues. At 12 years old, Sanders was billed as “Birmingham’s answer to Little Stevie Wonder.” He graduated from the prestigious

Kelowna-based blues artist John Lee Sanders is back at the Vernon Jazz Club to toast the new year Louisiana style. North Texas State University music program, eventually developing a passion for New Orleans’ piano. Sanders’ musical resume is like a history lesson in American pop, jazz, and R&B, recording and performing with such legends as John Lee Hooker, Willie Nelson, Chuck Berry, Jimmy Page, Sam Moore, Mary Wells and Stevie Wonder. In December, Sanders was the Vancouver Good Noise Gospel Choir’s guest soloist in three sold-out concerts. “I grew up singing and playing black gospel music and it was as an absolute joy singing with this great choir,” he said. Sanders also performed this year for the
members of the house and senate at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. with other great songwriters such as The Eagles’ J.D. Souther, Tracy Chapman, Hal David and Bill Withers. In November, Sanders recorded a Christmas CD pairing bluesy vocals with orchestrations in the style of Sinatra and Nat King Cole, now available online at CD Baby. Sanders is supported by a smoking hot band. Fresh from a December Vernon Jazz Club appearance is master musician Henry Piovesan who will bring his precious Hammond B3 to the club. Well versed in the blues, guitarist Tony
Robertson has toured extensively with Long John Baldry and the Vaqueros. Bass player Dennis Marcenko often tours with Sanders and performs regularly with One More Girl, which won the Canadian Radio Music Award for Best New Country Artist. Drummer Scott Grant also appeared recently at the club. Sanders considers him one of the best New Orleans style drummers in Canada. Party guests will also enjoy delicious gourmet appetizers, a complimentary champagne toast, hats, and noisemakers. At press time tickets for the Vernon Jazz Club’s New Year’s Eve bash were close to selling out. Visit www.vernonjazzclub.ca for info.
Symphony lets it snow for its Christmas show
A
t their Christmas show Let It Snow Sunday at the Performing Arts Centre, the Okanagan Symphony welcomed those experiencing live orchestral music for the first time. And this wasn’t just the regular orchestra. Again we had two jazz performers, this time local: Anna Jacyszyn (vocalist) and Stu Goldberg (piano). Both are high calibre performers with numerous wellknown fellow performers and shows to their credit. (Anna won the Okanagan Arts Award for music in 2010). Jacyszyn made
her entrance for a velvetsmooth White Christmas and again for Charlie Brown, Christmas Time is Here. This was jazz lounge music at its best, however, Santa Baby
would have benefited from added bass and drums. And as usual for the Christmas show, audiJim Elderton ence members could sing along. Rudolph The Red Nosed

Reindeer was inevitably popular, as was Winter Wonderland and Let it Snow. But the best (and unknown to most of us) was ‘Twas the Moon of Winter Time –– a beautifully written Huron carol accompanied by the strings. OSO musical director Rosemary Thomson first rehearsed the audience for this!
She showed the orchestra’s true strength with the first movement of the Winter Poems Symphony, a delicate and haunting piece by Winnipeg composer Glenn Buhr, sharply etched with delicate notes suggesting ice crystals against the starry sky.
But the highlight of the evening was to be the adaptation of the children’s book The Snowman, for orchestra, soprano and narrator. I first saw The Snowman 40 years ago in the U.K. as a 26-minute TV film –– notable partly for its charming animation

Soloist brings Snowman to life the snowy landscape, the trees, the antics of the snowman inside the boy’s house, right down to the click of a light switch. The added bonus was dancers from Highland Thistle Dance Studio.
Continued from page A20 You can see this on the YouTube website: http://www.youtube. com/watch?v=xbpX7sIjFY. The film was nominated for an Academy Award, has been shown every year since, and is now part of British and international Christmas culture. When the OSO elected to perform this, and Marion Barschel of CBC Radio Kelowna’s Daybreak agreed to narrate the story (originally spoken by Britain’s Bernard Cribbens), we were wondering (a) would Thomson find the boy soprano she needed, and (b) would he be good enough? The answer, thankfully, was “yes” and “yes!” Justin Moore (son of Paul and Melina Moore) took the song in his stride –– clearly very comfortable at centre stage –– and sang beautifully. The concert version provides the whole of the original book text (unlike the film, which used very little narration). However, there was a problem, and I hate to have to say this, but many people in the audience could not hear all of Barschel’s words. One factor, of course, is that currently the symphony does not rehearse in Vernon, so there was no chance for a proper sound check with full orchestra and voice together. Also Barschel is not a singer, hence maybe not used to projecting her voice level above that of surrounding musicians. However, that’s what modern sound technology is designed to overcome. It can be argued that at 70 my hearing might not be as good as it once was, however, what I did hear afterwards were numerous comments about the inaudible dialogue. The music itself

Jackie has left the mall & is now at The Great Escape
Horoscope BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL Conditions, both socially and materially, are looking quite hopeful in the near future, especially because of certain people who trust you to do all the right things regarding shared projects. You shan’t let them down.
PUZZLE NO. 203
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Don’t hesitate to take on a number of assignments simultaneously, because the busier you are, the greater your efficacy will be. In fact, put the toughest jobs at the top of your list.
ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 203
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Focus in areas that could provide you with several major, easily achievable goals. Remain positive, because they could put you in the profit column quite swiftly.
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. 100319

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Try to make an arrangement to get together with someone who has been on your mind a lot lately, because chances are s/he has been thinking of you as well. Good things could ensue. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Step back a few paces and let a wannabe run the show for a bit. You might fare better in the long run if you start to train others to step in and learn to be able to carry the load if needed. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) In a conversation with friends, you might get a good idea about making something in which you’re involved more profitable than it already is. Follow through on your brainstorm. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) This is a better than usual day for devising ways to materially enrich your life. What you conceive at this time is likely to work out quite successfully. CANCER (June 21-July 22) One of your greatest assets is helping people to have faith in themselves in ways that rouse their spirits and enthusiasm. You might spread yourself around in this way more than usual. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your intuition and kindness are two very valuable assets that are apt to enable you to spot a number of opportunities others miss, so don’t ignore any hunches -investigate all possibilities.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Follow any path you stumble on that might uncover an impediment that has been disturbing you, because even if you can’t totally remove it, you might be able to circumnavigate it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) That which appears to be small or even insignificant to most people is likely to lead you to some very large opportunities, especially where your career or work is concerned. Be sure to follow what you can. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Your outgoing attitude and warm demeanor will attract favorable attention. Even several people who have failed to acknowledge you previously will sit up and take notice. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) It shouldn’t come as any surprise that you could be the catalyst for making good things happen, both for you and your posse.

DISTRICT OF COLDSTREAM HOLIDAY HOURS The Municipal Of¿ces and Public Works Department will close at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, December 24, 2010 and will reopen at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, January 3, 2011. In the event of a public works emergency, residents should phone the after-hours line at 250-542-7600. Council and staff wish everyone seasons greetings and a happy and prosperous new year.
NOTICE OF ROAD CLOSURE Please be advised the Brash Creek FSR and the B-300 Road will be closed
Monday through Friday between the hours of 02:00 AM and 06:00 PM. Non-industrial traffic is restricted from using the road.
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.
Traffic disruption will occur and passage will not be possible during this time. The public is recommended to seek alternate routes. This closure will remain in effect until operations are complete and the Ministry of Natural Resource Operations lifts the restriction. Inquiries can be made to: Ministry of Natural Resource Operations Ph: (250)558-1700

DO YOU HAVE CHRONIC HIP, KNEE OR BACK PAIN?
Bridge by Phillip Alder Fran Lebowitz said, “No animal should ever jump up on the diningroom furniture unless absolutely certain that he can hold his own in the conversation.” I knew one suitably vociferous cat, but some guests felt his vocabulary was too limited for him to eat with us! In bridge we have the hold-up play. Although common in no-trump, it is rare in suit contracts. Is this five-club deal one of them, or is it a hoax that would fit into April 1 no questions asked? West leads the spade king and East plays his nine. What would you do? North made a negative double, showing four hearts and enough points
to act. He might have had five or even six hearts if his hand was too weak to respond two hearts. You took the plunge with five clubs. Here, three notrump would have worked well, but could have been very silly. You have 10 top tricks (one spade, one heart and eight clubs) and at least one establishable winner in hearts. However, what happens if East has the heart king? Here, you will be safe as long as you hold up your spade ace at trick one. You win the second spade, draw trumps, and play a heart to dummy’s jack. It loses, but you have 11 tricks. If, though, you win the first trick, East would take his
heart king and return his second spade. You would lose one heart and two spades. What happens if you duck the first trick and East had a singleton spade? Then you would have to hope West has the heart king. However, a 5-2 split is much more likely than 6-1.

North Okanagan non-profit agencies have driven away with support from B.C.’s automobile insurer. ICBC employees in Vernon and Salmon Arm have raised $6,660 for the local United Way. “They are always a great workplace campaign,” said Linda Yule, United Way executive director. The funds were raised through donations, special events and ICBC’s new corporate matching funds program. “Every day our employees demonstrate caring for our customers and this campaign shows how deeply they care for their communities,” said Jon Schubert, ICBC president. “It’s truly remarkable to see their level of enthusiasm and generosity.” United Way provides assistance to 28 non-profit agencies that provide a variety of services to residents. Organizations that have received previous funding include Abbeyfield House, the Enderby Family Resource Centre, the Falkland/Westwold First Responders, the North Okanagan Family Resource Centre, the First Nations Friendship Centre, the Kindale Development Association, St. John Ambulance and the White Valley Community Resource Centre in Lumby. Presently, United Way is attempting to raise $300,000 as part of its annual campaign. To donate in person, the United Way office is located at 3304 30th Ave. in downtown Vernon. Another option is to call 549-1346 to donate by credit card or go to www.unitedwaynocs.com to donate.
Season’s Greetings Wishing you a Great 2011 A special thank you Bruce goes to all my new clients Townsend and friends who have helped me make my first year with Vernon Hyundai such a great Success. I wish you and everyone else a successful and prosperous 2011.
May your heart and home be filled with gratitude and love!

Team Stoughton sweepers Reid Carruthers (above left) and Steve Gould use some serious elbow grease during the Swiss Chalet National curling final Sunday at Wesbild Centre; Right: Kevin Martin (from left) shares a laugh with front enders Ben Hebert and Marc Kennedy as they watch the play.
Martin shines in National spotlight KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Kevin Martin is lying on a beach in Hawaii today, hat on, iced drink in hand and surrounded by his wife Shauna and family. Breaking from Christmas tradition, Martin figured it was a wonderful way to celebrate a five-star curling year which officially ended Sunday at the Wesbild Centre with a 5-3 win over Winnipegâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jeff Stoughton in the $100,000 Swiss Chalet National final. â&#x20AC;&#x153;2010 was just an amazing year for our team and to finish it off like that, boy, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dream,â&#x20AC;? said Martin, 44, who struck Olympic gold in Vancouver last February. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ready for a break.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;K-Martâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, or the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Old Bearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as Martin is affectionately known, lost to Stoughton in the round-robin and then watched as Stoughton just missed a gutsy yet makeable triple-takeout for two points and the win in the final end.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a beauty game by both teams, just a battle and he was close,â&#x20AC;? said Martin, who first played Stoughton back in 1991. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Within probably half an inch. If he was half an inch thicker, he wins. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a better game than that.â&#x20AC;? Third John Morris and sweeping superstars Marc Kennedy and Ben Hebert helped Martin earn $24,000 in the second Capital One Grand Slam of Curling event of the season before 700 fans. The Edmonton rink also pocketed 40,000 World Curling Tour points. Stoughton, 47, of Winnipeg, was backed by third Jon Mead and front-enders Reid Carruthers and Steve Gould. They collected $17,000 and 27,00 WCT points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a great game, well played by both sides and it comes down to a quarter-inch of a shot and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way the game should be played, â&#x20AC;&#x153; said Stoughton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an exciting game, great for the fans and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be prouder of the guys; they played really well.â&#x20AC;? Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entourage in Hawaii includes his son Karrick
and his girlfriend, his daughter Kalycia and her boyfriend, and his nine-year-old daughter Mykaela. Stoughton, a systems specialist for Air Canada, will spend the festive season with family at home. Morris, who turned 32 last Thursday, was also thrilled at playing in a such a tight final for the CBC Sports TV cameras. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a beauty,â&#x20AC;? said Morris, a firefighter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both teams were shooting really well and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always nice to have a good final like that for curling in general. It was sort of a see-saw affair and luckily we came out on top.â&#x20AC;? Morris, easily the most sought after player for pictures and autographs, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want this fantasy curling ride to end anytime soon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The summer went really quickly because we had so many appearances and things to do, but it was a dream season last year and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to build on that and put together another four-year run.â&#x20AC;?

Bolts cool Hot Shots
Morning Star Staff
Morning Star Staff
Netminder Rylie Marchand stopped countless shots in backstopping North Enderby Timber Lightning to a 10-3 win over the Shuswap Hot Shots in Novice ringette play last weekend at Priest Valley Arena. Leading the offence was Kenzie Koshure with her second hat trick of the season, plus two helpers. Hailey Quiring also had three goals while Kalen Webster (2), Maria Alexis (1+1) and Levi Knopf rounded out Vernon’s scoring. Carly Newman chipped in two assists. In their second game, the Bolts fell 5-4 in a hard-fought battle against the Vernon People Eaters, despite a solid passing game and a strong showing by Newman in net Sunday at PV. Kalen Webster led the People Eaters with three goals while Georgia Lannon and Emma Elders added a single each in support of netminder Josey Nerling. Scoring for the Lightning were Marchand (1+1), Giselle Torres, Kyra Olsen and Koshure. In Junior A ringette play, Jacura Trucking skated to a 3-3 draw with Westside Sunday at PV. The trucker goals came from Teri-Lyn Blatney, Danielle Butler and Shelby Munk. Brianna Thalheimer supplied two assists. Netminder Czarina Wisse earned the win as Vernon Five Star Awards Vikings thumped Shuswap 14-4 in Petite action Saturday at PV. The Vikes got offence from Saylor Martian (3+4), Evangeline Koshure (3+1), Ava Cornell (3G), Chelsea Landry (2+3), Saige Woodliffe (1+4), Ava Haldane (1+1) and Colten Schaper-Kotter. Denise Goddard had one assist. Shelby Connors collected four goals and an assist as the Vernon Advertising Works Petite Dinos bowed 12-7 to the Vernon Green team

Kendra Ostafie fired the Dinos other three goals, with Abygayle Williamson providing three assists and Sierra Tompkins adding one. With just nine skaters, the TORL Belle A squad fell 5-4 in a close game with the Kelowna Open team Sunday in Rutland. Emily Ferguson, Brittany Burge and Delanie Thorlakson each supplied singles, while Summer Jesperson pocketed two assists. Kirsten Wiltshire was huge in net. Paige Castle, Kirstan Moore and Lisa Weatherill worked a stingy defensive triangle.
The Vernon Vipers started the 2010-11 B.C. Hockey League season as the No. 1-ranked Junior A hockey team in Canada. They didn’t stay there long. Forced into rebuild mode, the two-time defending Royal Bank Cup champions vanished from the weekly national poll, spending the first half of the season stuck mid-pack in the Interior Conference. With Mark Ferner’s youthful Snakes learning on a game-by-game basis, they slowly began to get on a roll and are now second in the Interior at 20-8-4-6, and back on the CJHL poll at No. 16 as they head into the Christmas break. The Vees, who occupy the No. 15 CJHL spot, hold the keys to the Interior penthouse at 25-112-1. They ended their pre-Christmas schedule by stuffing the Nanaimo Clippers 5-3 Saturday night at the South Okanagan Events Centre. Defenceman Joey Laleggia, who leads Penticton with 52 points in 37 games, and Joey Benik paced the Vees’ attack with two goals apiece. Billy Faust recorded 35 saves for the win. In other BCHL play Saturday night, Alex Grieve and Quinn Gould each had a pair of goals as the host Westside Warriors brushed back the Salmon Arm SilverBacks 6-4 at Royal LePage Place. Jarryd Ten Vaanholt and David Killip responded with deuces for the SilverBacks (23-13-1-0), who are tied with Westside (21-13-2-3) for third place in the Interior.
Veteran skips wow Wesbild Continued from B1 ‘Johnny Mo’ is for the first time hosting his clan’s Christmas – two sisters and their families, and his folks – at his place in Chestermere, near Calgary. In the fourth end of the final, Martin threw a soft in-turn and his brushers leaped into gear. With Morris working the far end, the stone squeaked by a guard for a perfect shot. On his last shot of the game, Martin threw tight again. This time he followed his stone all the way down the ice, urging his sweepers on, and even jumped into the air as his rock cleared the guard by the tiniest of margins. Martin took a 2-1 lead with a deuce in the fourth end and added a steal in the fifth. Stoughton, who had beaten Martin for the first time in 13 tries on Friday night, replied with a two-count in the sixth and held Martin to a single in the seventh. Stoughton dumped Glenn Howard of Coldwater, Ont. 8-5 in one Saturday night semifinal while Olympic champion Martin edged Toronto’s Wayne Middaugh 6-5 in the other. Martin, who operates Kevin’s Rock-n-Racquets, has a 26-18 career record over Stoughton, including a string of 12 wins in a row between the fall of 2007 and last Friday night, when Stoughton finally beat him 5-3. Stoughton, a two-time Brier champion, controlled his game throughout and deflated Howard with three points in the sixth end for a 7-3 lead. Howard and Middaugh both went home with $9,000 and 22,000 WCT points. Vernon’s Jim Cotter was one of the eight qualifiers, falling 6-4 (extra end) to Stoughton Saturday
morning. Cotter, who went 3-2 in the round-robin, was backed by guest third Ken Maskiewich of New Westminster, second Kevin Folk of Kelowna and lead Rick Sawatsky, a Vernon native now living in Kelowna. Cotter picked up $5,500 and 18,000 points. In other quarterfinal action of the 18-team extravaganza, Martin brushed back Niklas Edin of Sweden 9-6, Middaugh bounced Don Walchuk of Edmonton 6-5 and Howard edged Mike McEwen of Winnipeg 4-3. The third leg of the Capital One series goes Jan. 26-30 in Oshawa.

Whaler goalie James Scherck stymied Vernon Miskosky, Justin Glinsbockel and Ryan Robertson. Nicholson scored twice in regulation for the 11-51 Whalers, who got singles from Kyle Johnson and Jerry Reinhardt. Sam Pantaleo, Kevin Stecyk, Miskosky and Glinsbockel, with the equalizer with 37 seconds remaining, had goals for the 7-7-3 Sharks.

Chris Kingdon recorded 29 saves as the Sicamous Eagles brushed back the North Okanagan Knights 4-1 in Kootenay International Junior Hockey League play Saturday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. It was the Vernon native’s ninth win with the Eagles, who occupy third place in the Doug Birks division at 12-18-0-4, one point ahead of the Knights (13-22-0-1). Knights’ netminder Chris Hurry, who allowed three goals on nine shots, was replaced by Chris Solecki (17 saves). Tanner Burns, with his sixth of the season, had North Okanagan’s lone goal, but the Eagles were already up four goals at that point. The Knights don’t play again until Friday, Jan. 7, when they visit the Eagles at the Sicamous & District Recreation Centre. In other Saturday-night action, Vernon native Tye Sanford collected Revelstoke’s second goal as the host Grizzlies outlasted the Princeton Posse 3-2 at the Forum. Netminder Conor Barrie, another Vernon product, backstopped the Kelowna Chiefs with a 33-save performance as they outgunned the Penticton Lakers 6-4 at Rutland Arena. Better Business Bureau

The Vernon Home Building Centre Vipers gained a 4-4 tie with the Kamloops Blazers in Okanagan Mainline Midget Tier 1 Hockey League action Sunday at Memorial Arena Sunday. The visiting Vipers erased an early twogoal deficit by scoring three goals in the final frame to take a 4-3 lead only to have the Blazers score a disputed powerplay goal with just over a minute to play. Trevor Pickett, from Chris Gillies and call-up Dan Gilowski, cut the Blazers lead to 2-1 after 40 minutes. Ethan Kaluginâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top-shelf slapper, on a nice set-up from Nick Pantaleo, got the Vernon offence going early in the third to tie it 2-2. Pantaleo then split the Kamloops defence on a highlight-reel solo effort to give the Vipers the lead. Shortly after the Blazers equalized, Brett Hawrys, from Pickett, restored the lead with just over four minutes to play. Goaltender Danny Todosychuk, stopped 37 Blazer shots and provided a steadying influence for the Vipers all game long. The Vipers managed 24 shots. In Midget Tier 2 play, the Coca-Cola Vipers split a two-game series with the visiting Trail Smoke Eaters. The Smokies took Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opener 9-6 with four goals in the third period. It was 5-5 after two periods. Jared Barendregt, assisted by Conor Payne and Randy Todosychuk, and Owen Barker, assisted by Kenny Batke and Barendregt, had Vipers goals in the first. The Coke crew got second-period goals by Ryan Dubetz, assisted by Malcolm McPhee, Barker from Liam Revell and Barendregt, and McPhee from Dubetz and Taylor Hamilton Gee. Craig Martin scored four times, including an empty-netter, for the Smokies. Barendregt, assisted by Todosychuk and Barker, completed the Vernon offence at Civic Arena. The Vipers rebounded Sunday to clip the Smokies 4-3. Macphee, on a re-direction from Brad Jones from Kyle Clark, Dubetz from Hamilton-Gee, Barker, assisted by Randy Todosychuk and Barendregt, and MacPhee from Hamilton-Gee and Dubetz handled the Coke offence. The Sun Valley Sports Renegades lost 12-0 to host Kamloops Saturday in Kamloops and then lost 2-0 to visiting Penticton Vees Sunday in Bantam Tier 1 league play. Tyler Landry and Austin Goss split the Kamloops game in goal, while Goss was in net Sunday. In Bantam Tier 2 play, the host Vernon Machine Vipers lost 10-1 to the Okanagan Hockey Academy at Civic Arena. Jorden Dewing (from Cadrin Filleul) scored in a goalmouth scramble midway through the second period for the Snakes. Dustin Beckner and call-up Louis Springer shared the goaltending duties. Logan Revell and Richard Thompson had strong offensive games while Caleb Fox and Nikita Payne shored up the defence. In Pee Wee AAA play, the Watkins

Maroons fall to Lions Morning Star Staff
The Fulton Maroons bowed 71-55 to the No. 1 AA Lambrick Park Lions of Victoria Saturday in consolation side action at the Oak Bay Bays Invitational Senior Boys Basketball Tournament. “We came out strong and played with them until around two minutes left in the first quarter,” said Fulton manager Riley Mottus. “At that point, they started to put up a small lead that we never broke into for the rest of the game. They played very well defensively and our offence was stagnant, but improving. “It was the kind of defence we can expect to play against with ranked teams. We are still taking steps towards being the team that we want to be come playoffs and this weekend was a part of it.” Greg Hyde led the Maroons in points (25) and rebounds (18) to earn Fulton’s MVP of the Tournament. Ben Olson had 12 points and rookie Dustin Popoff had seven rebounds
against Lambrick Park. Earlier, Fulton bounced the AA Belmont Braves of Victoria 55-53 and lost 70-48 to the AAA Dover Bay Dolphins of Nanaimo. “All the teams we played this week we will be able to beat when the time comes around in February and March,” said Mottus. “We really can’t complain about our play this weekend. It was a learning experience.” Next tournament for the Maroons is the Hornets Invitational, Jan. 6-8, in Oliver.

‘Tis the season for holiday parties, good will, good cheer, family and friends, and alcohol is often a part of many social events during the holiday season. It’s important to remember that alcohol is a depressant drug that impairs judgment, vision and reaction time. Numerous people are killed or injured every year in B.C. due to alcohol-related vehicle accidents. We all have a role to play in decreasing dangerous alcohol-related situations and one way we can contribute to this is by planning ahead before we host a party where alcohol is served. Being a good host involves planning an event that is fun, entertaining and safe for everyone. Here are a few tips for making sure your holiday party is a success: Provide lots of food. Drinking alcohol on an empty stomach increases intoxication. By providing a wide variety of appetizers and snacks for guests to nibble on you can help slow down not only the

It was a great party. Eli Vlahos and his friends went skating and had pizza for his 11th birthday, and instead of presents, they raised $240 for the Vernon Women’s Shelter. “I got the idea from my friend Landon. He was doing the fundraising for his birthday and so was his sister so I thought I could do it too,” said Eli. His sister, Emilia, eight, had a fundraiser birthday party June 1 and then on Nov. 26, it was his turn. They plan to do the fundraisers every second year from now on. “I put it on the invitation and my friends all went along with the idea. They thought it was cool. I wanted to help homeless people and it’s good to know there is a place for them to go. We took the donation to the shelter and they really appreciated it. I hope my friends will do the same thing and it will be a chain reaction,” he said. He also said he was not too worried about missing gifts because his birthday is close to Christmas and he keeps busy with soccer, tennis, hockey, karate, reading, playing piano and singing and playing video and board games with his friends. “Santa will know I’ve done a good

amount of drinking but also the effects of the alcohol. Be careful not to have too many salty snacks on hand; high salt foods increase thirst and may actually encourage more drinking. Offer non-alcoholic beverages. Consider providing a festive non-alcoholic punch or mockails (alcohol-free cocktails) for your guests to enjoy. Many of your guests will appreciate these tasty alcohol-free beverages. Have a designated bartender. Party guests tend to drink more when there is an open bar. If you don’t have a designated bartender, encourage your guests to properly measure their drinks and keep track of how many drinks they are having. Encourage your guests to have a designated driver. Check in with your guests about their plans to get home safely. Make sure you have phone numbers for taxis or designated driver services on hand. Stop serving alcoholic drinks an hour before the party is over. Provide water,
coffee and tea as the evening winds down; however, remember that coffee will not sober up a guest who is impaired, only time can do that. Be prepared for overnight guests. Get the guest room ready and have extra blankets and pillows on hand. Avoid drinking too much yourself. Not only is this good role modeling it will also make it much easier to respond to potential problems if your judgment is not compromised. A little bit of advance planning can help make sure that everyone at your party has a terrific time and that they arrive home safely. For more information on alcohol or other drugs or if you are concerned about your own, or someone else’s alcohol or drug use please speak with your family doctor or contact your local Mental Health and Substance Use office.

From Lavington to Ethiopia with love New arrivals CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
The schools Melissa Kooijman visited in Africa had dirt floors, no desks and no paper. She showed the pictures of her volunteer trip to her sons, Ethan, eight, and Joshua, five. “The school has a stick roof,” observed Joshua. “Maybe I could make some — Melissa Kooijman pictures. Maybe we could sell them to get some stuff for the kids.” He got to work and made 108 pictures of snowmen, Christmas trees, candy canes and skating and wrote Merry Christmas on each one himself. Ethan donated his allowance to the project and even the family dentist bought some pictures. Melissa told her family and friends and before long all the pictures were sold and they had $108 to spend on crayons, pencils and scissors for a school in Ethiopia where she will be visiting in spring break. She will also be taking notebooks, math sets, rulers and pencil sharpeners. “To think that at such a young age they realize that not all children have good schools and supplies and that they can do something to help. That’s the giving spirit. I’m proud of them,” said Melissa.
“That’s the giving spirit.”

Making Christmas special for kids Morning Star Staff
More than 200 children and teens carefully selected gifts for their parents and favourite adults at this year’s Children’s Christmas Workshop Dec. 11 at the People Place. Sponsored by the Network at RE/Max, the fourth annual event was a huge success. “This has become an established tradition for many families who come to shop or volunteer together,” said Michele Blais, with the Network. “This is a terrific community project with outstanding support for donations of gifts and volunteers.” Local high school students assisted the children with their shopping and then the volunteer gift-wrappers made certain the gifts were kept a surprise. Blais and Sandra Bradley would like to send out a special thanks to People Place manager Elaine

SUTHERLAND Louise Marie With her loving family by her side, Louise â&#x20AC;&#x153;Louâ&#x20AC;? Marie Sutherland passed away peacefully on December 18, 2010 at Parkview Place in Enderby BC at 88 years of age. Lou leaves behind to cherish her memory her husband Jim of 70 years; her daughter Carol (Allan) Schulte of Enderby; her son Bob (Faye) Sutherland of Nelson BC; her grandchildren Brad (Shanna), Greg (Mitsi), Wanda (Monty), Jim (Janet), Chris (Melanie), and Doug (Alicia); her 11 great-grandchildren; her 2 sisters Judy Eyre of Spokane and Marvel Siebert of Vulcan AB; and her sister-inlaw Mae Dangel of Mara BC. Lou was predeceased by her mother Carol and brother Jack. Lou was born on April 23, 1922 in Taber AB. Following her school years, she moved to Lacombe AB to work and it was there at a country dance that she met Jim who would become her devoted husband for 70 years. After their wedding, August 17, 1940, Jim and Lou began their life together working as a married couple on a farm near Lacombe. Jim joined the army and was sent overseas in 1942 just days before the birth of their daughter, Carol. While waiting for the return of her soldier, Lou worked hard to help save money for a down payment on their Âżrst farm. When Jim returned home from overseas in 1945, they purchased a farm in Grindrod BC. In 1947, their son, Bob, was born. They continued to live in Grindrod until 1990 when they moved to Enderby. Lou worked alongside Jim on the farm, haying, raising cattle, milking and even logging. She grew a large garden, canning and freezing for the winter. Lou was a country girl who loved to knit, crochet, sew, play cards, square dance, travel and visit with their many friends. She was a 4-H leader for the Grindrod Chic Chicks for 13 years. Louâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandchildren, who were so lucky to always live close by, were the â&#x20AC;&#x153;light of her lifeâ&#x20AC;?. She always made sure they felt equally special and took every opportunity to create special memories for them, whether it was baking together, going on picnics, travelling, camping or just being there for them. She was their â&#x20AC;&#x153;perfect and specialâ&#x20AC;? Nana. The family would like to give special thanks and heartfelt gratitude to the staff of Parkview Place in Enderby for the care and compassion shown to Nana over the many years she was there. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday April 23, 2011. The location and time to be announced at a later date.
