Honouring a Japanese tradition Okanagan College helps students celebrate Seijin no Hi JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
S
tudying thousands of miles from home can be an emotional experience for any student. But a group of Japanese students studying in Vernon were particularly saddened as a oncein-a-lifetime celebration was nearing. Every year in Japan, youth are celebrated in the Coming of Age ceremony (called Seijin no Hi) on the second Monday of January. The milestone event, which has been marked for centuries, celebrates all those who turn 20 (between April 2 of the previous year and April 1 of the current year). “This ceremony is one of the most important ceremony for Japanese,” explained Kana Kitajima, studying in a semester abroad at Okanagan College’s Kalamalka campus, from Kyoto Tachibana University. “And the moment that we become adult is also very precious for us because it is a once-in-a-lifetime chance. “If we miss opportunity, it never will come again.” That’s why Kitajima, along with the 15 other 20-year-old Japanese students studying locally, was feeling quite sad as Jan. 10 neared. Even though they could not return home to celebrate, faculty at OC recognized the importance of the event and helped the young women celebrate at the school Monday. The college staff, the girls, and their host families, helped each other carry out the event as best they could. They did their hair and make-up, just as they would if they were at home, and assisted

Kana Kitajima (below) makes a presentation explaining the traditional ceremony to guests at the college who helped the young women celebrate their special day. each other in ornate dress, called Yugata (a form of a kimono). “I think my sadness has gone away,” said Kitajima. “It is true that we could not attend the ceremony in Japan, but it is also true we could do that in Canada!” College regional dean John Lent and program administrator Jennifer Kerr personally congratulated each of the girls, who are on six-month study program at the campus. “On behalf of all Canadians, we would like to congratulate you into your adulthood,” said Kerr.
An audience of host families and college faculty snapped pictures and watched intently as the girls explained the Coming of Age celebration, sang songs and shared their experience in Canada. Among them were Kitajima’s host family, Rod and Kristin Beese. The Beese’s explain that while Kitajima learns a lot studying abroad, it also a learning experience for them. “We just wanted the cultural experience,” said Rod. “We have two young kids and it’s awesome for them to learn about the culture.”

Police proceed with cold case
LOOK WAY UP
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
CORY BIALECKI/MORNING STAR
A crane has been erected to help get things moving at the site of the new Vernon Secondary School on 15th Street.
A hefty bill won’t stop a cold case file from being reopened by police. The Vernon RCMP detachment has clarified that an investigation into a suspicious death does not hinge on city council approving a $100,000 expenditure. “The investigation will go ahead no matter what. It wasn’t a case of us seeking permission,” said Supt. Reg Burgess. “The attempt was to give council a head’s up on an expense that will occur.” The $100,000 has been removed from the city’s proposed 2001 budget, but there is the likelihood the city will cover costs related to the investigation, including possibly some international travel. However, the RCMP detachment could also adjust its service levels to ensure adequate funding is available. “If the money is not
there, it will be low-priority items that disappear, not high-priority items,” said Burgess. The RCMP have revealed no details about the cold case, including the death of the death, and officials won’t even refer to it as a homicide. In other RCMP matters, city council has approved $60,000 to retrofit the cells in the detachment and $125,000 for closed circuit and video equipment. Both items have been mandated by the provincial government to ensure safety for inmates. “All old cells have weaknesses that people have used to do themselves harm,” said Burgess. “It’s a case of getting rid of cracks or overhangs to remove anything a motivated person can use to do themselves harm.” An inspection of the cell block was held in
2006 as a result of a coroner’s inquest into in-custody deaths in the province. With the closed circuit and video equipment, a 2005 coroner’s inquest recommended
the mandatory use of recording equipment by the RCMP. In 2009, the Ministry of Solicitor General initiated standards that must be complied with by the fall of 2012.

City douses fire department requests — Buffy Baumbrough an interim fire chief and a deputy chief of prevention. Administration had also sought $225,000 to hire an architectural/ engineering firm to locate a site for the Bella Vista fire hall and develop conceptual designs. Instead, the Bella Vista proposal will be added to a review of a possible fire hall at Predator Ridge. The review cost is $60,000. Council has also specified that if a Bella Vista fire hall does open, it will utilize volunteer firefighters and not full-time career staff.

Baumbrough also points out that Vernon is trying to hire a new fire chief after Jeff Carlisle left for Kelowna. “The department is in transition and I’d like to have the permanent chief in place and then they can determine where the department proceeds with a deputy chief,� she said.

Some potentially big-ticket expenses have been extinguished at Vernon’s fire department. On Friday, council shot down administration recommendations to rehire a second deputy fire chief and to design a new fire hall on Bella Vista Road. “It’s all to do with the economic times,� said Coun. Patrick Nicol. Staff had sought $130,352 for 2011 to fill the deputy chief of operations position. It became vacant through a retirement last summer, and council opted not to fill the job at that point, claiming the department had sufficient resources available. The decision to keep the position vacant for 2011 was unanimous Friday. “Council is trying to keep the
In a memo to council, Carlisle stated that a Bella Vista hall would have annual operating costs of $800,000. “In no way do we envision career firefighters out there,� said Coun. Shawn Lee. That direction is also supported by Coun. Jack Gilroy, a former firefighter. “We need a fire hall but we have capable volunteers that can drive a truck,� said Gilroy. Carlisle’s report stated it would cost about $2.5 million to buy land and build a hall, while $1.1 million would be needed for fire trucks. Canadian Lakeview Estates residents have complained that the current Okanagan Landing fire hall is too far away to respond during an emergency, and they say the distance from the hall impacts their insurance rates.

Reservoir and Snow Pack Levels
The graph above shows upland reservoir storage levels for the Greater Vernon Water Utility (GVWU). The solid black line shows the storage levels in 2010. The dashed black line is the average calculated over 14 years. As of December 31st, reservoir storage was slightly lower than average. The red line shows the 2003 reservoir levels reflecting a year of drought conditions. The colored stages 2, 3 and 4 are trigger points where water restrictions are enforced.
Expanded E-Waste Recycling Available in the North Okanagan Expansion to the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) program for electronic waste (e-waste) took effect July 1st 2010 with the goals of reducing waste destined for landfills and to protect the environment from added pollution. EPR is a strategy utilized by the Province of British Columbia to place the responsibility for end of life product management on those producing the item and not burden taxpayers or local government. New to the e-waste list are DVD and VHS players, stereo equipment, clocks, headphones, iPods and more.

On January 3rd, 2011 the snow pack reading of 30.6 cm was slightly lower than the average of 37 cm. The February readings will provide GVWU staff with a better indication of future water storage and supply issues.

Politicians are trying to do more with less when it comes to parks and recreation. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee is looking at possibly adding items to the 2011 parks, recreation and culture budget while keeping a tax increase at zero. “We have to show we are being responsible and running the service efficiently,” said director Jim Garlick, adding there have been several increases in recent years. Staff had presented a proposed budget with a 2.2 per cent tax increase, but directors have decided that some items can be covered by reserve funds while federal gas tax revenue may pay for others. And with other projects, it hasn’t been determined how they will be paid for, or even if they will be part of the 2011
“Staff will take a look and see what’s an appropriate use...” — Mike Macnabb financial plan. One item that is moving ahead is expanding the function to include the Teen Junction youth centre. It will be provided with $66,000 for the coming year. “This will show other levels of government there is value to the community and the community supports it,” said chairperson Wayne Lippert of Teen Junction which almost closed in 2010 because of a lack of funds. Among the items that will be considered eligible for gas tax revenue is $230,000 for boat launch parking at
Kekuli Bay Provincial Park. “Staff will take a look and see what’s an appropriate use for the gas tax and if they are, they could proceed. And if not, they may not proceed,” said director Mike Macnabb. Staff have been asked to bring back revised figures for renovations to the recreation complex and a picnic shelter in Lavington before a decision is made on whether they will become part of the budget. Details will also be compiled on possibly building handicappedaccessible washrooms at
Polson Park. The Vernon Public Art Gallery had sought $22,900, but instead, its assistance from GVAC will climb from $213,100 to $219,730. Gallery Vertigo will receive $15,000 although it had asked for $30,000. In terms of the Performing Arts Centre, $80,000 in repairs to the exterior of the building could move ahead. “There’s been a significant problem with birds pecking holes into the stucco and nesting inside,” said Al McNiven, parks and recreation general manager. An increase in taxes is not being sought to operate Wesbild Centre, but its projected revenue will be down $47,481, primarily because of a decrease in food and beverage sales. “There are no major bookings in events this year,” said McNiven. “We have also seen
a decrease in people spending money there (on food and drinks).”

Charges pending after motor-vehicle crash ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A senior citizen is facing charges after being involved in a head-on collision on Highway 97 near the overpass Thursday night. An off-duty police officer witnessed the crash between a Ford Windstar van, driven by a 75-year-old man from Enderby, and a Toyota Matrix rental car being driven by a man from Knoxville, Tenn., shortly before 8 p.m. “The driver of the van was observed fleeing the area, running across a field toward Temptasian Restaurant,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson
Gord Molendyk. The man allegedly entered the restaurant, bleeding. A police officer patrolling Anderson Way heard about the accident and the suspect, and found the man in the parking lot of the restaurant. The Enderby man was arrested and was taken into custody. He is facing charges of hit-andrun, driving while prohibited and a breach of an undertaking. Both drivers suffered minor injuries in the accident.

T
hat’s the beauty of a leadership race, you get all this pandering to the electorate that may or may not result in actual legislation one day but makes for interesting if possibly all-about-nothing debate. And the BC Liberal Party free-for-all is no exception. First there was the lowering of the voting age to include the teen set, although once they realized Justin Bieber and Katy Perry weren’t allowed to be write-in candidates interest waned a little. Although to be fair I Glenn Mitchell know more than a few high-schoolers who are a lot more politically engaged than the more mature set, there’s something to say about idealism being a more powerful force than cynicism, at least they’re more likely to actually take the time to vote. However I don’t see that one gaining any traction, especially these days when we don’t even allow young drivers to have real licenses until well after they’ve graduated from high school, let alone give them the franchise. Hey, maybe they do need a louder political voice. But the latest proposal from Christy Clark deserves a solid look, if not support from the likes of yours truly. The former radio talk show host is fanning the flames for Family Day in February. She notes the 111 days between New Year’s Day and Easter this year (that’s April 24 folks and that seems like years away at this point of January) and how it “would be a great chance for families to renew themselves.” OK. Bottom line, another statutory holiday that they already celebrate in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Washington State? Um, again, OK. My kids, who they’re trying to give the vote to anyway, think it’s a great idea and are wondering where one signs up for this possibility.

Who knew they were Liberals at heart and Christy Clark supporters in particular? It’s curious, though, because lately they haven’t been that into family-type stuff and find a lot of excuses not to be involved with mom and dad. Of course, they are also big boosters of professional days, turnaround days, collaborative days, reading breaks and anything where they get to sleep in and stay in their pyjamas as long as humanly possible – so if mom and dad get to do the same on the third Friday in February what the heck, bring it on and call it Family Day. I don’t know if that’s what Christy had in mind for “strong families having quality time together” but it’s what’s likely to happen at my house. Maybe, in honour of truth in packaging, we could massage the name a little. Some suggestions might be: Snow Day, Hey-Alberta’s-Already-GotOne Day, Another-Long-Weekend-To-ScheduleHockey-Tournaments-Around Day, Heritage Day, You-Deserve-A-Break (that one might be registered already) Day, Gordon-Campbell’s-Gone Day, We-Once-Had-The-Olympics Day and Pyjama Day. Now I must caution, before one gets too excited, this ain’t happening this year and there’s always someone like Kamloops MLA Kevin Krueger ready to rain on our parade. He calls it a horrendously expensive proposal, something about collective agreements and overtime pay for government workers and such, and could possibly harm a fragile economy. Whatever. Alberta seems to be doing OK. Horrendously expensive? Gee, sounds like the HST and/or the carbon tax that we had no say in. Use that found money to pay for it. Hey, I’m getting worked up here. My kids and I, and I think I can speak for my wife too, deserve Family Day in February. I’m thinking of getting a petition going. Hey it worked for the HST. Maybe we should recall Kevin Krueger. If anybody wants to help with the campaign to stand up for families in B.C. give me a call Monday morning. But make it after 10, I’m taking a collaborative day.
While some segments of society will always be distrustful of government, more and more we’re hearing about bureaucracy being used to frustrate citizens and media. A recent study shows Canada places last among five of its peers — Britain, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. The British researchers concluded that Canada’s system has become antiquated and no longer serves as a model for others to follow. That’s not surprising as the world is a much different place than when Canada established its Freedom Of Information system almost 30 years ago. What isn’t clear from this study is how many other countries have also overtaken Canada in easing access to government documents. Freedom of information is vital because it is intrinsically linked to the right to free speech. Canada and B.C. must do a better job of using new technologies to make it easier for citizens to readily gather information about the inner workings of our governments. With profound change happening among provincial leadership and with Canadians looking at a trip to the polls sooner than later, the electorate deserves to know how candidates will improve current FOI rules. If current governments – or those waiting for a chance to be elected – want to keep their parties viable, they’ll need to change the way they embrace transparency. Canadians demand open and accessible government. It’s time for both the provincial and federal governments to take freedom of information seriously. — Black Press

Same old Liberals?
W
ho was it coined the phrase, "A leopard never loses its spots?" Well, the way I see it, the provincial Liberal premier wants to. The very people who got us into this mess in the first place are the guys and gals grunting and groaning in the race to be top guy at the trough. I'm listening very closely for something new and original and so far nothing yet. I've heard they are of one mind when they say they will consult with business to see how they will deal with the HST. But whoa, Christy Clark has just rode in on her whiter-than-snow charger about to resurrect us all from the evils created by others. Don't forget, she was one of them.
MLA LISTENING This letter is in response to the editorial, ”Foster ignores true issue”, in the The Morning Star. As a poultry producer in the North Okanagan who has spent the past four years asking the provincial government to make changes to the meat inspection regulation for the benefit of community-based, smallscale agriculture( while maintaining food safety), I agree with much of what the editorial says. I have to take exception to one point however. Mr. Foster has already heard the message loud and clear from North Okanagan farmers. He has in fact welcomed our input and listened to us and to farmers and processors from other parts of the province caught in the bureaucratic nightmare of regulation. The problem seems to lie with a very poor piece of legislation that the government will not amend and a bureaucracy that seems unable to comprehend the reality of smallscale farming, its needs and its value to small community economy. The problem will be solved when the consumers in this province who want locally grown, healthy meat demand changes and begin asking
Her announcement speech went something like this — "I will call for a free vote on HST, by caucus, not by the whole legislature, this is because that's what the people are asking for." Next question from the press on what will be her position on holding a public enquiry into the B.C. Rail debacle, her response was, "No." The courts have taken care of that as per Bassi and Virk conviction, the day before Colin Hansen was to appear. I have got news for you, Christy, the public wants to know what's being hidden. Inquiry needed and now. Don't kid yourselves, Liberals, Christy Clark is Gordon Campbell in a skirt. Bill Frohlick their politicians to change the legislation. Shelley Baumbrough COURTESY VANS This letter adds to Keith Westfields' comments titled, "Be Responsible." Various businesses and organizations have discovered the prudence of being socially responsible as well as the enjoyment of concomitant financial reward by supplying courtesy vans for their customers, i.e. auto dealerships, auto repair facilities, fraternal organizations, casinos, senior residences, etc. Members of alcohol-serving businesses are appreciating the wisdom of courtesy vans for their establishments — a service which delivers customers to their establishments to enjoy the conviviality, camaraderie, ambiance and entertainment, as well as return said customers safely home. Safely for the customers and safely for the public. The function of courtesy vans has proven commercially advantageous as well as promoting a positive, socially responsible corporate image and certainly the liquor businesses will discover it soon.

HOMELESSNESS I tip my hat to The Morning Star for publishing front-page stories about the homeless people in our midst. In 1955, Canon T.D. Somerville, rector of St. James Church, wrote the following words: "When a grown-up man struggles to keep back tears as he tells of his disappointment and humiliation; when the broken shoes and worn, dirty clothes tell their stories of sleeping in box cars (streets), and endless walking, you can't refuse to help him. You only keep on giving until there is nothing left." For the last 55 years, our various governments have done nothing but lip service by telling us that they have a plan regarding the homelessness. Well, if that is the case, what happened? Our present government is spending billions of taxpayers' money on Olympic Games but can't find enough money for decent and low-cost housing for the population who elect them. Even common sense should tell them what the priorities should be. The turmoil and chaos we are witnessing in our political parties is showing the complete contempt our politicians have for the population. When the SPCA is treating ani-
mals better than we are treating our homeless population, it is high time to demand better for our less fortunate among us. Fifty-five years should be long enough time to wipe our the homelessness forever. Yukon Eric Holopainen DETOURING BLAME Apparently street and utility upgrades have been progressing so slowly in front of Vernon’s Baker’s Dozen that the owners have already been forced to lay off employees. Meanwhile in the downtown area on 34th Street, the construction of a simple bridge over Vernon Creek and the upgrading of one block of road and utilities started five months ago. The detouring of traffic continues. Even if poor planning and/or incompetence are part of the problem for the ongoing delays, I doubt if a local bureaucrat or elected official would accept any responsibility for mismanagement. If the phantoms at City Hall had been in charge of building the railroad that brought British Columbia into Confederation, do you think the Last Spike celebrations at Craigellachie would still be an unfulfilled national dream? These kinds of situations seem
to leave frustrated citizens with only one option, singing that 1980’s song: “If there's somethin' strange in your neighbourhood … If it's somethin' weird an it don't look good. Who ya gonna call?” Lloyd Atkins

Whether it’s a career in forestry or the long road through medical school, students looking at life after high school can always use a helping hand. The Vernon School District’s Scholarship and Bursary Program provides that help to qualifying students, who often find the cost of post-secondary education prohibitively expensive. Retired teachers Barb Silvester and Mel Maglio are donor liaisons for the program, which provides cash awards to students in Grade 12 to give them a boost in pursuing their post-secondary education. “We have many longtime donors who sponsor individual bursaries and scholarships, but we always need more donors,” said Maglio. He added that the awards — which average between $500 and $750 — are open to all students, not just those looking at university. “More and more students are going into the trades and technical programs, which could be anything from culinary school to hairdressing, from aircraft maintenance to computer programming,” he said. “We’re not minimizing the importance of the university-bound student, but we are seeing more students going into the trades.” A student looking at a career as a chef may choose to use the money to purchase high-quality knives; a carpentry student may invest in new tools or a university student might buy text books. There are a number of ways for donors to get involved in the program. A group or individual can provide the criteria for the selection of applicants and can decide whether to be directly involved in the selection process or not. Donations are accepted year-round. Silvester said anyone can provide a bursary or scholarship, from the largest fraternal organization or corporation to an individual who wishes to make a one-time donation. “Some organizations will specify that they would like their bursary to go to a student in their field, such as construction,” she said. Silvester added that the program this year is particularly relying on local donors, either individuals or groups. “Any dollar amount would help,” she said. “We want to be able to continue to offer as many scholarships as possible.” Counsellors at all district secondary schools promote the program and students are encouraged to get in touch with their counsellor for more information. Online applications are available beginning March 7, and students have until 3 p.m. on March

YOU AND THE LAW CONDO OWNERS! CHECK YOUR PROPERTY INSURANCE By Janice Mucalov, LL.B. Are condo owners protected by their strata corporation’s liability insurance? You would think so, but according to a recent case, they may not be. The case means that condo owners who don’t have their own personal liability insurance (or whose insurance is insufficient) could end up facing a potentially bankrupting situation. Here’s why. BC’s Strata Property Act requires strata corporations to take out insurance against liability for property damage and bodily injury claims. The coverage must be for at least $2 million. The Act says that, despite what the insurance policy might say, the “named insureds” include the strata lot or condo owners as well as the strata corporation. On the face of this, the liability insurance taken out by a strata corporation should protect the condo owners too. But in Economical Mutual Insurance Company v. Aviva Insurance Company of Canada, the BC Supreme Court denied liability coverage to a strata lot owner by relying on a limiting clause – arguably gutting the substance of what the Strata Property Act aims to achieve.
The Aviva insurance policy was a standard commercial general liability policy. Aviva argued that although the defendant strata owner was indeed insured by virtue of the Strata Property Act, the wording of a particular clause in the policy limited Aviva’s coverage. Specifically, Aviva said that an individual named insured like the defendant strata owner wasn’t covered for a claim for injuries resulting from a car accident. Instead, the particular wording of the limitation clause meant the only coverage provided was in relation Kevin E. to the conduct of a business owned Cherkowski by the individual insured.
The case involved an accident where three minors were seriously injured when their car was hit by another vehicle. The driver of the car at fault had left a party at the Abbotsford townhouse of the defendant strata owner. The three minors sued, claiming that the defendant strata owner had “social host liability” – that he was a negligent host who didn’t monitor the amount of alcohol his guest drank and who failed to ensure his guest didn’t drive drunk after leaving his townhouse. These allegations remain to be proven. But if true, and if the defendant strata owner is liable as a “social host,” he faces multimillion dollar liability exposure.
Kevin E. Cherkowski • Real Estate • Wills, Trust and Estates • Corporate/Commercial
The defendant strata owner had homeowner’s insurance with Economical. But the amount was for less than the claims of the three injured minors. The strata corporation also had liability insurance with Aviva in a far greater amount. So Economical sued Aviva, arguing that because the defendant strata lot owner was a “named insured” by law under Aviva’s policy (even though not specifically listed as an insured on the policy), Aviva should step up and join Economical in defending the personal injury lawsuit brought by the three minors.
The BC Supreme Court agreed with Aviva. So, the strata corporation had a liability policy, under which by law the strata lot owner was a named insured and under which the strata corporation had liability protection for bodily injury. But that same coverage was not available to the defendant strata owner. The bottom line? Condo owners shouldn’t blindly rely on their strata corporation’s liability policy. And strata council members and managers may need to do more than put in place a standard commercial general liability policy to properly protect the strata owners. If you end up in a dispute, consult your lawyer.

Major decision on mayor’s mind JENNIFER SMITH
Kicking Horse Construction Ltd.
Morning Star Staff
Coldstream’s lead decision maker has one big option weighing on his mind for the coming months. Mayor Jim Garlick is still on the fence on whether or not he’ll seek another term as mayor during the November 2011 election. “I haven’t made up my mind yet,” said Garlick, who was elected mayor in 2007 after serving one term as councillor. Despite the time constraints, Garlick has enjoyed his time on council. “This has been a good experience. I’m a lot more tolerant now and a lot more appreciative of people who get involved in politics than I was before. “It’s not, ‘how is this going to benefit my family or friends?’ It’s more, ‘how is this going to affect my community?’” The Clarence Fulton Secondary teacher is also pleased with the current diversity on council and the work staff and politicians have accomplished. Whether he keeps his mayoral seat or not, Garlick’s priority in 2011 is to finish the work this council has started. “Don’t just leave them as loose ends. I don’t think that’s fair to a new council.” One item on his to-do list is to get Greater Vernon parks, recreation and culture dealt with. “You’ll probably see us ask for it to be dismantled and rebuilt,” said Garlick. “I think that service has changed so much over the years and people don’t even know it.” Garlick will also continue to pitch the Okanagan College community sports facility to the community – which could go to referendum during the election, if not sooner. “I want to see the community either support or kill this.” He has also been instrumental in working to establish an agricultural site at the college, in the ravine. “We’re using the fill from the grid road to level off that site,” said Garlick, adding that UBC students have been helping to develop the site for future possibili-

Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick hasn’t made up his mind yet whether he’ll seek reelection in the 2011 election, but is looking forward to continued progress in the new year in his community. ties such as an orchard, community agriculture, demonstration plants and a farmer’s market. Another project on the books is an improved crossing at Kidston and Kalamalka roads. “It could be a roundabout, a three-waystop...” said Garlick. The municipal works yard is also on Garlick’s radar – with a $1.05 million borrowing referendum taking place during the election. “Nobody likes to spend money but once in a while you have to invest in your infrastructure,” said Garlick, adding that the safety and occupational hazards at the public works yard will have to be addressed whether voters buy into it or not. “It’s a requirement.” A bike lane on Kidston Road to the red gate, separated from the road, is set to get underway and be completed in 2011. Improvements on
Coldstream Creek are also continuing, since the creek was determined as a major source of pollutants to Kalamalka Lake. Looking back on 2010, Garlick smiles at the progress made, both in house and in the community. “It’s been busy. You look at the projects. The grid road alone, that’s a huge project,” said Garlick. “And it finally feels, after two years, like we have a cohesive staff,” he said, following major staff restructuring in the past couple years.
Garlick credits staff for much of the hard work they’ve done. Garlick lists the new liquid waste management plan (which moves towards a more user-pay model), a $1 million pavement management plan (which Coldstream didn’t have before staff initiated the process a few years ago) and finally getting the announcement for realignment of Highway 6 at the Coldstream Ranch junction with the railway (work is set to begin in 2012), as accomplishments.

According to Richard Baker, governor of the Hudson’s Bay Company: “This transaction provides attractive long-term value and will allow us to invest substantial capital into our department store and specialty store businesses to continue to drive growth.” The sale of these leasehold interests is estimated to create more than 20,000 net new jobs in Canada and has the potential to generate over $1.5 billion in Canadian economic activity through the renovation of the Zellers locations. Target is excited about the Canadian workforce

Zellers stores will soon begin to disappear across Canada as Target takes over. Target Corporation has entered into $1.825 billion agreement with Hudson’s Bay Company (which Zellers is a subsidiary of). The transaction gives Target the leasehold interest of up to 220 sites currently operated by Zellers Inc. The agreement will, for the first time, bring Target across the border, with its first stores to open in Canada beginning in 2013. It is still too early to tell what the outcome will be for local stores, such as Vernon’s Zellers in the Village Green Mall. “It is still early days and no decisions have been made for any specific stores at this time,” said Freda Colbourne, Hudson’s Bay Company media spokesperson. “All Zellers stores will continue to operate as Zellers for the next 12 months. During that time, Target will be determining which specific locations will open as Target stores, which will be sold to other retailers and which will remain as Zellers. We intend to operate a scaled-down division of Zellers across the country.” “This transaction provides an outstanding opportunity for us to extend our Target brand, Target stores and superior shopping experience beyond the United States for the first time in our company’s history,” said Gregg Steinhafel, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Target Corporation. “We are very excited to bring our broad assortment of unique, highquality merchandise at

Canadian Mortgage Rates are at Record Lows Perhaps it’s time to consider a new mortgage or consolidate your high interest rate debt.

The old red brick school on Armstrong’s Pleasant Valley Road has been added to the city’s heritage register. Council voted unanimously to place Armstrong Elementary School on the register at Monday’s regular council meeting. “It is definitely an important part of our community,” said Mayor Chris Pieper. A heritage register is a listing of property identified by local governments as having heritage value or character. After the history of each site on the register is researched, a Statement of Significance is produced and added to the register by adoption from council. Placing the school on the register gives notice

Celebrating its 90th anniversary in 2011, Armstrong Elementary School has been added to the city’s heritage register. Okanagan-Shuswap, and is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year. Putting a property on a community heritage register does not give it permanent heritage protection, and doesn’t create any financial liability for city council. The register can, however, be used to flag properties for future protection. Being added to a heritage register should not

To have heritage designation means exterior alterations and structural changes to a building can’t be done unless sanctioned by a special permit. It also prevents the structure from being moved. “Our next step is to go to the school district,” said Patti Ferguson,
Armstrong administrator. “We’ve placed the school on the register, now we’d like to talk about heritage designation through the adoption of a bylaw.” A letter inviting the school district to talk about heritage designation has been sent by the city. The school becomes the 11th building placed on the city’s heritage registry.

Public input sought for downtown plan RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
There are plenty of opportunities for Vernonites to provide input on the proposed land use plan for downtown. A number of events are scheduled from Jan. 22 to Feb. 13 to provide information about the draft city centre neighbourhood plan. “We hope to reach many different people in the community,” said Cleo Corbett, long range planner. A schedule of events has been sent out with 4,000 utility bills. “It tells people where they can get more information and how they can provide feedback,” said Corbett. Among the events will be during swimming lessons at the recreation complex Jan. 22 from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., a coffee clatch at Bean to Cup Jan. 24 from 2 to 8 p.m. and a coffee klatch at the Bean Scene Jan. 26 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. There will also be an open house at the Schubert Centre Jan. 29 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Jan. 31 at city hall from 6 to 9 p.m. Other events include the proclamation of Queen Silver Star and the Hot Air Balloon Glow during Winter Carnival. To review the draft city centre neighbourhood plan, go to www. vernon.ca/citycentre. Bridge Work Funds Extended A road project is taking longer than anticipated and that means funding must be reconfirmed. The City of Vernon has asked the federal and provincial governments
to extend the deadline for funding so the 34th Street bridge work can be completed. “We couldn’t pave prior to Christmas,” said Rob Dickinson, engineering manager. “The asphalt plant doesn’t open until April
so the March 31 deadline was problematic.” The total project cost is $3.1 million, with $1.04 each coming from the federal and provincial governments and the remainder coming from the city.

I came to the Okanagan with my family 17 years ago. We felt this must be one of the most beautiful areas of Canada to live and work in. We feel the same today. I have been a realtor for 22 years. I now enjoy working with my son, Jake Russell, and we both like to stay active in the community, in various service groups. This city has great community spirit, with very friendly people who have chosen Vernon as a place to live for its wonderful lifestyle and community spirit. My background training has been in creative advertising and I owned an art gallery for many years in Aurora, Ontario. This is a great time to wish everyone great new beginnings, and invite all my friends and clients to drop in and say hello at our new place of business Sutton Group Lakefront Realty (2002). Let’s make it a great year.

What is the better interest rate to proceed with, fixed or variable? And is it different for purchase or refinance?
That is a personal decision for each individual client. We would sit down with you, have a look at your financial situation and then discuss all the options available. What may be best for your neighbor, may not be the best for you and your financial needs. Saying that, however, variable rates have historically been the best way to go as long as you are comfortable to ride the highs with the lows!!

Canadian “Superfood” Gaining International Attention Creator of UMAC Core™
Still Def ying The Odds UMAC-CORE is a unique product created out of an urgent need. In 2004 Tom Harper was diagnosed with a life threatening illness caused by asbestos exposure and given only months to live. He had been raising shellfish at his Research Sea Farm on Vancouver Island, simultaneously perfecting the only method worldwide of growing wild phytoplankton for use in the Aquaculture industry. Based on the wild plankton’s powerful nutritional profile, upon his diagnosis he decided to consume the blend of micronutrients as an energy source he so desperately needed at the time. Every day he ingested the minute ocean plants and every day he felt stronger and experienced less pain. Finally a surgeon performed exploratory surgery. To the doctor’s surprise he was inexplicably able to deliver Mr. Harper a clean bill of health. Six years later, Tom Harper is healthy and, in his words, “feeling totally different. I’m pain free and I’m leading a good, healthy, normal life.” Not long after the product was officially launched in Canada and the U.S.A., the University of Utah completed a randomized full double-blind placebo-control pilot study of UMAC-CORE over a 90 day period with human subjects. Doctors who conducted the studies were impressed with the results and concluded that UMAC-CORE really does help enhance the immune system and support mood fluctuations, quality of sleep, and overall emotional well-being. UMAC-CORE quickly gained far more attention than Harper could have imagined. “People were experiencing really positive shifts in their health,” Harper says. “Our success was consumer driven and we weren’t quite prepared for the demand. There were times when staff would offer to spend the night at the office so that we could get the product out, and they often did!” Today UMAC-CORE is available in over 800 health food stores across Canada, in stores all across the United States and overseas in Australia, New Zealand and Spain. Following the interest and countless testimonials from the public, UMAC-CORE has been written about in dozens of newspapers across North America – and the excitement continues to grow.
Tom Harper—Creator of UMAC Core™ Marine Phytoplankton carefully inspects a sample of newly grown wild Phytoplankton at his Sea farm on Vancouver Island, BC In fact, an independent website www.whyplankton.com offers an opportunity to view the amazing “Another Day” video documentary of Mr. Harper’s patent pending discovery.
Unique Sea Farms’ only by-product is pure oxygen! Marine Phytoplankton consumes carbon dioxide and releases oxygen back into the atmosphere as it blooms in the one million litre outdoor open tanks.
Kim Iles of Choices 4 Wellness – a Retailer in Chatham Ontario says, “I recommend UMAC-CORE to everybody – it’s one of the top two products in our whole store and that’s because people see results! I tell people that if they needed to pick only one thing, then pick UMAC-CORE. It has all the vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. It’s a complete food and does so many different things in the body that it’s probably the most complete supplement to recommend.”
Also, once the majority of plankton is harvested, the remaining plankton nutrients are returned back to the ocean – 3 to 5 times more than what was originally “borrowed” to commence the bloom cycle; helping to strengthen the base of the ocean’s food chain.
People are even giving it to their pets with remarkable results. In fact, Kim Iles says it’s the results she gets with animals that have convinced her of the product’s efficacy. “It’s not a placebo effect when you give it to your pets. We’ve nursed sick animals back to health with UMAC-CORE. That’s how I judge if a product really works – if you can see results with animals – and we do.” Mr. Harper’s Sea Farm which grows the wild phytoplankton offered in UMACCORE is also making a positive impact on the environment. “I consider it one on the greenest companies in the world. Not only are we able to give back to human beings, we are also giving back to the planet.”
Extraordinary benefits have already been discovered with a product that has only been available for 5 years, with new clinical trials presently underway! UMAC Core is available in Liquid and Capsule formulations. For information call Hedley Enterprises at 1-888-292-5660 or to locate a Retailer near you go on-line to: www.umaclife.com

Education helps trim bylaw hours ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Advertising, education and ticketing are three reasons why Spallumcheen’s bylaw enforcement hours may be down for 2010. Bylaw enforcement officer Leanne Robertson told council an education component implemented in 2009 for burning contraventions was a good practice, as it allowed for education regarding rules related to burning to be passed on to residents.
“The public responded well with less issues in 2010.” — Leanne Robertson “The public responded well with less issues in 2010 regarding burning,” wrote Robertson in her two-page year-end report to council. “In 2009, environmental concerns were noted in every month, which is time-consuming on staff. 2010 only had a few concerns in this area.”
Robertson reported that bylaw enforcement hours were up in January due to the onset of three marijuana grow operations. In all other months in 2010, hours were down, most significantly in the last three months due to the proactive approach to burning. Business licensing
was steady throughout the year in the township, with new applications taken out each month. Wood first works Township council has unanimously adopted a wood first policy for all municipal buildings, and encourages all buildings to be considered for wood first. Requirements for building with wood in Spallumcheen are set out in a five-point policy, including those building should consider wood champion designers and builders
for all municipal building projects. All requests for proposals will request consideration of building with wood as a criteria, seeking those that can find practical, efficient, versatile and cost-effective building and design solutions through the use of wood.
Dog tracks down Lake Country suspect Morning Star Staff
A police service dog helped sniff out a Lake Country man suspected of breaching his bail conditions. The dog found the suspect hiding under the deck of a townhouse in the Glenmore area of Kelowna. An RCMP officer spotted the 30-yearold man walking in the area after learning the man was breaching his bail conditions of being under 24-hour house arrest. By the time the officer turned his police cruiser around to verify the male’s identity, the male was gone. Police had also been advised that the suspect was in possession of a hammer and was believed to be under the influence of illegal drugs. A few minutes later the same officer saw the same man and was able to identify him as the suspect police were looking for. The officer arrested the man, who fought back and was able to
escape to a nearby townhouse complex, in the 200 block of Glen Park Drive. The police dog team arrived and followed a scent track to where the suspect was hiding underneath
a raised patio deck surrounded by lawn chairs. With the help of the police dog, the suspect was taken into custody. The suspect, who is well-known to police was remanded in cus-
tody to appear in court. He is facing charges of breach of condition and resisting arrest. Police were not able to locate the hammer that the man was suspected of possessing.

Everyone wins in auxiliary raffle Morning Star Staff
On their 10th wedding anniversary in 1981, Elaine and Dale Jackson celebrated with a houseboat trip. For their 38th anniversary, they plan on making that same trip, this time with the whole family. Elaine is the winner of the grand prize
in the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Auxiliary raffle, a houseboat vacation, with the winning ticket drawn Dec. 15. The raffle raised more than $6,000, with funds raised going towards the auxiliary’s goal of furnishing an intensive care unit in the new Tower of Care. “The success of this raffle is thanks to
the generous donation from Waterway Houseboat Vacations, the dedication of the auxiliary volunteers, the people who purchased the tickets and all the vendors who allowed the sale of tickets on their premises,” said past-president Elaine Dubois. “The VJH Auxiliary thanks you all for your support.”
A half century of active nursing Morning Star Staff
On Jan.15, 2011, Mary Williamson celebrated 50 years of active nursing. Born to prominent agricultural pioneer and alderman Jack and Vera Andrews, Mary was raised on a poultry farm in Chilliwack, B.C., along with her older sister Barbara and younger brother Eric. After graduating from Chilliwack Senior Secondary School in 1957, Mary went on to take training at Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster to become a Registered Nurse. She graduated from Royal Columbian as an RN Jan.15, 1961. While her goals were to work in an orphanage, that opportunity never arose. Mary worked at the Vancouver Children’s Hospital formerly know as the Crippled Children’s Hospital until moving to Salmon Arm with her new husband Ted, about two years later. Mary worked at the Salmon Arm hospital up until a week before her first child, Diana, was born and then later moved to Vernon in 1965 to be closer to Ted’s job at BC Hydro. Mary took time off from nursing to raise three children; Brian was born in 1967 and Glen in 1969. Always having a passion for caring, Mary could be found volunteering as the first aider at many of her children’s and friends’ organizations. When Glen was in elementary school, Mary returned to nursing and was employed at Sunshine Lodge, a men-

Maroons shine on home court Morning Star Staff
It was No. 1 versus No. 2 as the Fulton Maroons battled the Sa-Hali Sabres of Kamloops in the gold-medal game in the 10th annual Maroons Corporate Classic Saturday afternoon at Fulton Gym. Fulton, the top ranked team in B.C. senior AA boys basketball, advanced to the final by winning their pool at 3-0, including a pair of wins Friday. Birthday boy Dustin Popoff canned 18 points and 11 rebounds to lead Fulton past the Duchess Park Condors of Prince George 79-70 in their early game Friday. Duchess Park, who have an honourable mention in the B.C. rankings, took advantage of some sloppy play by Fulton to race out to a 19-15 lead in the first quarter. The Maroons rebounded to take a 12-point lead going into the fourth, after which their bench came in and played some good minutes to secure the win. “Dustin Popoff was our Game MVP and played very well and kept us in the game while Greg Hyde was in foul trouble,” said Fulton manager Riley Mottus. “Dalton Anderson had another great game as well with 17 points and 12 rebounds.” Hyde hustled for a game-high 29 points and 11 boards as the Maroons grounded the L.V. Rogers Bombers of Nelson 85-53 in their second Friday tilt. Popoff chipped in with 13 points. “Our Game MVP was Mitchell Rouault, who is returning this week from a knee injury. He had 25 points and found a way to score when no one else on the court could,” said Mottus. “We came out well, hit a little bump a few minutes in, then picked it back up for the rest of the game. We held a 15-point lead going into the second half and slowly extended it to a 29-point margin by the end of the game.” The No. 2 Sabres advanced to the
final of the eight-team tourney by going 3-0 to win pool B. After stuffing the College Heights Cougars of Prince George 93-64 in their Thursday opener, the Sabres rolled wins over the Pleasant Valley Saints (79-49) and South Okanagan Hornets of Oliver (79-74) on Friday. Timo Sargent fired 17 points and Connor Dolson had 16 points to pace the Sabres’ attack against Pleasant Valley. Stephen Ringdal led the Saints with a dozen points. Trent Anderson and Reece Graham each supplied six points. The Sabres’ Chase Blair flushed 19 points and Patrick Wells supplied 17 against the Hornets. South Okanagan responded with 23 points from Parry Aulakh and 20 each from Baltej Gill and Harey Dhaliwal. Despite a 23-point effort from Ringdal in their final round-robin game, PVSS fell 97-77 to College Heights. Anderson chipped in with 15 points and Graham had eight. The Cougars were led by Rajen Bhullar and Nolan Hanson, who each delivered 23 points. In the first game Friday, Aulakh drained 27 points, including half a dozen three-pointers as the Hornets buzzed the Cougars 72-71. Bhullar recorded 15 points and Hanson had 14 to lead the Cougar attack. In other Friday action, the Pen-Hi Lakers got a game-high 29 points from Mitch Jacobsen as they soared past the Bombers 66-60. Joel Moorman added a dozen points for the Lakers, who got a trio of three-pointers from Derek Wolf (11 points). Jason D’Andrea had 17 points for the Bombers. Jacobsen put on another scoring clinic, posting 32 points as the Lakers clipped Duchess Park 70-69. Andrew Wittaker had 23 points for the Condors.

Vipers raid Millionaires Morning Star Staff
It was so cold in Quesnel on Friday, Vernon Vipers’ assistant coach Jason Williamson had to buy long johns. Most of the players didn’t venture out of the hotel into the -20C weather until they were forced to hop on the bus. It is times like this when two points in the B.C. Hockey League standings can feel like a bowl of steamy Campbell’s soup. The Vipers stopped shivering long enough to ice the host Quesnel Millionaires 4-3 before 650 fans, with Zach McPhee firing the winner three minutes into the third. It was his third goal of the season. Vernon (24-9-4-8), who trail the Penticton Vees (29-12-2-1) by a point in the Interior Conference, visited the last-place Prince George Spruce Kings (10-34-0-2) Saturday night. They host the Merritt Centennials (16-20-0-6) Tuesday night at Wesbild Centre.
“It was an ugly game, but we won,” said Williamson, of Friday’s game. “We didn’t’ get the best start, but our guys are persistent. They found a way to win.” The Mills’ Derek Huisman (10th goal) opened the scoring at 7:07 of the first period. Vernon answered on the powerplay at 15:10 as third star Adam Thompson rifled a point shot past former Viper netminder Bryton Udy, assisted by first star David Robinson and Stevie Weinstein. The Snakes went up by two with a pair of goals two minutes apart early in the second period. Kyle Murphy (13th) beat Udy (23 saves) on a wraparound at 5:04, and Dane Muench, acquired from the SJHL Battleford North Stars at last Monday’s BCHL trade deadline, collected his first goal, burying the rebound off a three-way passing play with linemates Dylan Walchuk and Darren Nowick.

Longtime pro Jesse Crowe, 30, heads the Power Golf program at Kal Fitness, a seven-lesson series which starts Wednesday, Jan. 26. “Power golf is going to wake up your golf muscles after some time off and teach you how to hit it farther than you ever have,” said Crowe, the head pro at Canoe Creek Golf Course in Salmon Arm.” “We will cover proper warm ups for golf whether you have five or 45 minutes. Power Golf will show you exercises and stretches to help you strengthen your golf muscles and improve your flexibility. Power Golf will help fix the flaws in your swing so that golf can be more fun, and most important, Power Golf will help
you hit the ball the longest you ever have.” Crowe, a fun-loving Kalamalka Laker golf team grad, has more than 14 years of instructional experience. He was the head pro at Mabel Lake Golf Course and an assistant pro at the Vernon Golf & Country Club before joining Canoe Creek. The opening lesson will focus on grip and power posture, followed by work on power stance and your power leg, the keys to hitting the ball long. Crowe will then teach the finish position and proper turning on the ball. He will then put players through various drills before the final lesson on the driving range at Canoe Creek.

Minor hockey a blast
N
ine games in two different towns was somewhat of a marathon hockey extravaganza for the Mitchell family last weekend. Pretty much suffered frostbite on my feet in Lumby and Enderby arenas, where the ice is smoother than Jack Daniel’s because they keep the facilities nice and cool. Had a nice, quiet 6:30 a.m. Sunday drive to Enderby with my son Nick, who was snuggled in the front seat with a blanket. I turned the radio loud to make sure I stayed awake. The game was a thriller. The Senior Atom Development H&L Glass Wolfpack clipped the North Vancouver Canucks 4-3 in a shootout. Then it was a rush out to Kevin Mitchell Pat Duke Memorial Arena in Lumby to coach the Denny’s Saints in a Bantam Rec tournament. My son Max got to sleep in so was as jacked as he gets ready for a clutch game against the Kamloops Saints. Win and we go 3-0 and make the final against the despised Summerland Jets, who clipped us 2-1 in the semifinals of the Nelson tournament in early December. We toppled Kamloops, spent two hours hanging out in the cold rink, and then went to the finals with my team very pumped and well prepared of course (thanks to my assistant coaches Steve Cousins and Rob Maxwell). We ended up losing 6-3 and the kids were mighty peeved. A good sign because you certainly don’t want them happy about losing. However, athletes learn in defeat, and 20 minutes after the loss, they were back talking about Call of Duty. By Sunday night, I was wiped and I didn’t play a shift. Had a blast coaching and had a blast watching my sons play a beautiful game. It was a weekend that will be hard to top as Canada heads into Minor Hockey Week. Most of us who volunteer as coaches or put in major time and dollars as hockey parents are in the game for the right reason. A few are not and we can certainly do without them. I’m reading Hockey Dad by puck guru Bob McKenzie, the TSN Hockey Insider who perhaps knows the game better than anyone in the country. He admits he now feels ashamed when, as an atom coach, he called for a stick measurement to try and win a game. And the time he yelled at a teenage ref to drop the puck quicker because his son’s timed three-minute House League shift was winding down. His wife, Cindy, would remind their toddler son Mike at bed time that “Mario Lemieux brushes his teeth every night.” Here are a few more anecdotes from his book: ■ On when your kid should learn to skate: “As a proud Canadian, and an incurable wise guy, I like to say, ‘Well, the child should be able to walk, but that’s not necessarily a hard-and-fast rule.’” ■ “Mike scored at least one goal that first season. While I don’t exactly remember how the goal was scored – wait, ah yes, it’s coming back to me, a
BETWEEN THE LINES
shot along the ice from the high slot that the goalie fanned on...I clearly recall Mike saying to us on the way home: ‘I was smiling under my face mask for the whole game because I scored a goal.’” ■ “Some of those 6 a.m. practices were hell on wheels, though, especially when Cindy and I might have friends over a Friday night and, well, there might have a few times I had a few cocktails and didn’t get to bed until 2 or 3 a.m. Mike was difficult to get up at 5 a.m. if it was for hockey. Me? That depended on Friday night.” ■ “Just going to the arena as a family was a great feeling. There’s still something really special about walking into a cold rink on the weekend, taking in all the sights and sounds of so many families there off the ice and the kids out there on the ice, the sounds of sticks and pucks echoing throughout the arena. It was wonderful, the highlight of my week.” ■ “Everything Liam (Reddox) did was at a higher level than everyone else. He was a very strong skater, extremely athletic, and his puckhandling skills, his shot and his competitive instincts were off the charts. It was difficult to imagine Liam not growing up to be a professional player and that is, in fact, what he is (with the Oilers).” ■ “No matter how upset you are, regardless of how justified you think you are, hold your tongue. There needs to be an emergency brake between the brain and the mouth. The dressing room right after the game is no place for an airing of grievances, not in front of kids and parents.” ■ On his second hockey son, Shawn: “But Shawn didn’t sit for hours at a time and draw hockey pictures. He had no interest whatsoever in learning which logos belonged to which teams and couldn’t have care less about how Mike’s friend Mario Le-Moo brushed his teeth.” ■ “I think it’s easier to become Pope than a minor hockey coach. By the time you fill out all the forms, get obligatory police check, go through the interview process with the association, to say nothing of the coaching and training certifications (there’s a weekend of your life you’re not getting back) and let’s forget the anti-abuse seminar/ clinic...” ■ “When the game is over, regardless of what has transpired on the ice or whatever emotions may be welling up inside you, be sure to give your kid a hug and make sure he’s okay, make sure he’s healthy. As long as that is the case, it’s all good, really good, because he’s going to get another chance to go out and do it all over again.”

A pair of goals from defenceman Brad Phillips helped the Vernon Home Building Centre Vipers storm back and win 4-2 Friday night at Civic Arena against the Okanagan Hockey Academy. Down 2-0 after 20 minutes to the Penticton-based team in Tier 1 Midget league play, Phillips blasted one from the point to cut the deficit in half in the second period and then scored from the slot early in the third to tie the contest. Defenceman Justin
Mitchell then skated in from the blue line to score the game winner on a top-shelf wrister halfway through the period. Colton Thibault sealed the deal with a nifty in-close marker with less than two min-
utes to play. Goaltender Michael Hails faced 20 shots in recording the victory. Vernon hosts Pursuit of Excellence at 4:30 p.m. at Civic Arena in OMAHA league play today.

Even on Quesnel’s postage stamp ice surface, Williamson said Muench’s ability was evident. “He’s definitely got a lot of skill. He’s crafty with the puck and he made some real subtle plays,” said Williamson, of the Martensville, Sask. native. Malcolm Gould (13th) beat Blake Voth (25 saves) with five minutes to play in the second to pull Quesnel (11-28-2-4) within a goal. Mills’ leading scoring Spencer Graboski (13th) completed the offence at 15:14 of the third period. Robinson went toe-to-toe with David Thompson late in the second period after the Mills’ defenceman floored the Viper captain with a hard hit. “They just stood there and started throwing,” said Williamson, giving a slight edge to Robinson. “Give that guy credit, he stood in there.” Early in the third period, the Mills’ Bradley Buckingham earned a misconduct for a blow to the head on the Vipers’ Mike Zalewski. In the ensuing scrum, Quesnel’s Rigby Burgart received a double minor for spearing Trevor Fitzgerald. Vernon went 1-for-5 on the powerplay while holding Quesnel scoreless on five attempts with the extra man. In other Interior action Friday night, the Westside Warriors got a pair of goals from Grayson Downing as they roasted the Salmon Arm SilverBacks 6-1 before 1,000 fans at Royal LePage Place. Trailing by two midway through the first period, the SilverBacks’ Mike Hammond, recently acquired from Cowichan Valley at the trade deadline, recorded the Gorillas’ lone goal, a shorthanded marker at 12:08. After that, Westside scored four unanswered goals to seal the win. The Warriors went 3-for-4 with the man advantage.

Search unit seeks members RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Vernon Search and Rescue is looking to bolster its ranks so it can continue to serve the public. The volunteer unit will hold an information night for prospective new recruits Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Search and Rescue building on Aberdeen Road, next to the North Okanagan Regional Stephanie Ross District office. “We are looking for dedicated men and women,” said Stephanie Ross, a unit director. “We are on call 24/7 so we’re looking for people
Building activity on par JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
There was a consistent sound of saws and hammers in Coldstream last year. Statistics for 2010 show the number of housing units constructed was exactly the same as in 2009 – 38. The value also remained fairly consistent, with the exception of Coldstream Elementary construction, which started in 2009. “Although total construction value is down $6.7 million from 2009, if you remove the school (which was an unusually high value permit), actual construction value for 2010 was $1,592,300 higher than 2009,” said Bob Bibby, building official, in his report. The division of units last year was 30 single family units and eight duplex/multi family units added. Meanwhile the last month of 2010 was substantially slower than December of 2009. Only two permits were issued in December 2010 with a construction value of $480,000 compared to nine permits with a value of $1.4 million in December 2009. Traditionally January and February are slow, but business is looking up for 2011, says Bibby. “There’s been a lot of new people coming into our front counter inquiring about construction and new construction.” Although many of those are single family units. “I don’t see any multifamily on the horizon.”
willing to give up their time away from family, friends and work.” There are currently about 65 members and 5,506 hours were spent on 44 search activities during 2010. Additional time was also spent on training and maintenance of equipment. Members are experienced in ground, water and snow searches, with some individuals specialized in swift water rescue, cliff rescue, and tracking. While there is a lot of work involved, Ross says involvement in the unit is very rewarding. “There’s nothing like going out there to find someone who is lost and returning them to their family,” she said. For more information about Search and Rescue, call Ross at 250-503-6423

STORK REPORT
Schratter rides for awareness Morning Star Staff
Former Vernon resident Michael Schratter continues his Ride Don’t Hide cycling trip around the world to raise awareness and funds for mental illness. Beginning Aug. 1, 2010 in Vancouver, Schratter, a Vancouver teacher and social columnist, has reached the 10,000 kilometre mark of his trip, cycling 108 kilometres a day, crossing the equator in Colombia. “It’s been really challenging battling loneliness and lows. I was forewarned not to cycle through Central America and Colombia, but the opposite has been true, “ said Schratter. “The further away from Canada and the U.S., the warmer and more helpful the people. Colombia has been my favourite country so far — the geography and the people have been amazing. Last month brought nothing but rain, but I remain focused. Between the hundreds of e-mails received, Facebook
messages, my blog, and bi-weekly column in 24Hrs, together we are fighting the stigma, creating awareness and breaking the silence.” Schratter, who has had first-hand experience with the pain and debilitating fear that accompanies mental illness — he has been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder — will take a year to cross six continents and 30 countries in his 40,000 km. He has vowed to do his part to help dispel the misconceptions from which stigma arises. He says the trip is more than a cycling campaign, it is an international movement for personal rights. All of the funds raised by the trip will go to the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) B.C. Division. His next milestone, the 20,000 kilometre mark, brings him to Northern Australia before heading to Asia. To follow Schratter’s trip see www. ridedonthide.com, twitter@ridedonthide and Facebook.

Q: A:
545-5307
Is anesthesia safe?
Yes, modern general anesthesia is very safe, the risk of a pet dying is less than 1%. A pet can be lost under anesthesia, but this is rare and these patients are generally emergency surgeries, when their situation is critical. Risk is very low in the healthy pets that are undergoing routine procedures. To minimize the risk your Veterinarian will request pre-anesthetic bloodwork. All patients, not just old or sick should have pre-anesthetic blood tests to evaluate blood and organ function. Even in young animals bloodwork will occasionally detect abnormalities that could affect anesthesia. In addition, intravenous fluids may be administered during anesthesia. Many drugs used for general anesthsia may lower blood pressure and fluids help minimize these changes. The intravenous setup allows for immediate administration of drugs in an emergency situation. If you have any questions contact your Veterinarian. — Miles Latwat, DVM

While the Poppy Campaign is an important part of the Legion, members are active all year with fundraisers for groups like the Army, Navy, and Air Cadets, The Salvation Army, Dry Grads and special projects for schools, Santa’s Anonymous, dance, music and sports groups and other organizations. The Legion gave more than $65,000 to community organizations last year. The Vernon Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion opened Jan. 11, 1927 and was given the Freedom of the City of Vernon for its 75th anniversary. The Legion has more than 1,000 members, with membership open to everyone. The organization moved to its current building in July 2009. The current president is Doug Weaving. “We want people to know that the Legion is here for them and we welcome new members who would like a place where there’s a lot of camaraderie and an opportunity for community service,” said Carrol MacDonald, public relations officer, who served in the Canadian Navy for 28 years. “We invite people to come and see our bright new facility and see what’s going

Building a sound foundation Vernon Community Music School is looking to preserve its heritage home KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Jim Roh remembers the first time he stepped inside the century-old Smith house atop East Hill. The strain of a violin, the strum of a guitar, the trill of a flute, the tinkle of a piano and the vibrato of a voice hit him all at once, and he knew then he had found something special in his new community. After moving to Vernon, the Manitoba native was interested in picking up his musical studies again, so when he heard about the Vernon Community Music School (VCMS), which has called the Smith house home since 1982, he went to check it out. “I played country dances when I was younger and wanted to get back and study classical and reading music,” said Roh. “I drove up to the building and when I walked inside, the smell reminded me of my grandmother’s house. Then I heard all the different instruments. Even the creaky floor boards lent itself to music and producing music.” Now one of the many piano students currently enrolled at the school, Roh also sits on the school’s board of directors and is overseeing the launch of a community fundraising effort called the Sound Foundation Capital Campaign. The Smith house, built in 1908, has now reached a critical time in its life and requires restoration. Its roof, insulation and drainpipes were replaced and the chimney repaired in 2009, and now the building’s foundation needs replacing. “The foundation is slowly cracking and moving and as such, extensive repairs to the foundation, porches, and exterior walls must be completed as soon as possible,” said Roh. “We will need to elevate the building, remove the existing foundation, and replace the soil. East Hill is known for hav-
ing this clay soil that moves, so we could be faced with the same thing if we don’t get some good soil in there, then replace the foundation and lower the home.” The projected cost of the total project is $305,000. “There could be repairs in result of the foundation repair, damage to the porches and cracks, so we’ve estimated costs for that,” said Roh. Launched in October, the campaign has so far raised $20,000 from the VCMS’ charitable non-profit society coffers, and another $21,000 from a small grant, as well as a letter campaign to both its alumni and current members, and some donations from businesses as well as a fundraising concert held in December. However, much more is needed, and the community at large is being asked to help. The board would like to start construction and repairs by the end of this semester, but failing that, plan B is to enforce the building through jacks and make sure it is safe until the money is raised, said Roh. Over the years, the VCMS has put in significant contributions in preserving the heritage of the Smith house and its property. Built in the Dutch colonial revival style by R.B. Bell for prominent mill owner S.C. Smith and his family, the house later served as a nun’s residency until it was bought by the city of Vernon in 1981 and designated as a municipal heritage site. The VCMS, which began as a charitable non-profit society in 1975 with 23 students and two instructors housed in one of the buildings at the Vernon Army Camp, purchased the Smith house the following year. In 2000, the school restored the free standing former carriage house adjacent to the main building, transforming it into a rehearsal and concert space as well as studios. The cost of that project was $260,000 with monies from government grants as well as community donations. The VCMS now provides more than 32 programs taught by 23 professional music instructors to 677 students, and Roh believes the property and building is as important as the school itself. “You can build a nice, new building, but it won’t have that same environment or the vibe the Smith house has. When kids come

Neil Fraser has been a music instructor with the Vernon Community Music School on East Hill since 1995 and knows first-hand how well used the heritage site is. With an average of more than 650 students a year coming and going through the door, the school boasts an alumni base of more than 19,000 students. here, I feel they sense that. It’s warm, not a cold, septic environment,” he said. And the student base proves how popular and important the school has been. More than 19,000 students have learned the rudiments of theory, picked up an instrument, and built their vocal technique since the VCMS first began. “We know how important music is for eye-hand coordination and learning in general,” said Roh. And although 65 percent of the school’s current population is Vernon based, students come from all over the North Okanagan as well as the Shuswap, Kelowna and even from as far away as Nakusp and Williams Lake to attend classes. “There’s quite a cross section of the social strata that comes here. We have from babies and preschoolers to seniors. Our students have provided a source for the Okanagan Symphony as well as the jazz
club over the years,” said Roh, who is quick to defend any elitist ideas people may have about the school. Scholarships are not only provided, those who cannot afford music lessons are not excluded. “They are filtered through our board and handled case by case,” said Roh. “Our rates are competitive throughout the province, and where we take a small percentage of the fee the teachers charge, we provide the space and have community involvement with events throughout the year.” The VCMS is holding its next major foundation fundraising concert March 12 at Trinity United Church, which will feature students from all disciplines. Those who wish to donate to the Sound Foundation Capital Campaign can do so at the school, located at 1705-32nd Ave. Donations more than $20 will receive a tax deductible receipt.

It’s art that you can not only see, but hear. Art students from the Vernon school district’s five secondary schools are exploring two main senses, while showcasing their talents, with the new exhibition, Sight and Sound: The Art of Music. More than 100 students from Vernon Senior, Kalamalka, W.L. Seaton, Charles Bloom and Clarence Fulton secondary schools not only opened their eyes and their ears, but their imaginations to create their work. This can be seen in the multitude of paintings, multi-media pieces, sculpture and more used to interpret the theme: how vision and sound work together, said Andrea Thorburn, art teacher at Fulton. “The nice thing is you get a lot of diversity in the one theme, from more representational to abstract. There’s so much freedom in that,” she said. The fifth annual group show hosted by the Vernon school district art departments, students and teachers came up with the show’s theme earlier in the school year. They were given a wide window of what they could create, and teachers served as advisors, said Thorburn. “I’m always interested in the process starting with the theme to the final result,” she said.

Not only does this guy achieve another startling physical transformation, it’s what Bale pulls off emotionally that will drop jaws. He takes an individual, better described as repulsive than simply not likeable, and works enough magic in certain corners of scenes to make us feel empathy.

This week is National Non-Smoking Week. It’s a time designed to give those smokers the motivation to kick the habit. This year’s theme is: There are hundreds of reasons to quit … what’s yours? If you are still a smoker, may this be the year you quit forever. The retina is that light-sensitive layer at the back of your eye. When this layer detaches, it is a very serious eye problem. Symptoms include a sudden increase in “floaters: in the eye; black spots in your vision field; unusually tiny light flashes or sudden blurriness. Seek medical help immediately. Many people stop taking their prescription medication without telling their doctor. Reasons could be the cost of the drug, side effects or just not seeing any improvement. Evidently one in four people on high blood pressure medications stop taking them within six months. Not a good idea. Share any concerns you have about your medications with your doctor and pharmacists. Over the past few months, there have been many shortages of certain generic drugs which makes changing brands a common occurrence. Generic brands have to contain the same amount of the same drug as the brand name but some people may occasionally notice differences, sometimes due to the non-drug component of the medication. Let your pharmacist know how the new brand is working for you. Don’t hesitate to ask questions that will help you get the most out of your medications. Use the educational resources of four pharmacist staff. Have Your Prescriptions Filled With Us

Our Kids is back in action in this initiative for children, either by volunteering or sponsorship, can get in touch with The North Okanagan Music Festivals Society, which in turn supports, promotes and donates back to other initiatives where children are the recipients. “The arts are extremely important, and in this world of fast growing technology, music is one way for our kids to use this professional arena that we provide, to create, record, and perform as the next generation of musicians,” said Raeber. Applications for those interested in entering Our Kids Have Talent can be accessed at www.ourkidshavetalent.com. Deadline is Feb. 23. Call 250-938-2231 for more information.
Mountainfest announces Reba cancellation Black Press
MERRITT — Active Mountain Entertainment has indicated that country star Reba McEntire will not be performing at the Merritt Mountain Music Festival this year, despite announcing in December that the artist was booked for the festival.
According to an Active Mountain press release, McEntire’s management informed Mountainfest that due to a scheduling conflict, the star was forced to cancel the July 9 engagement along with others. Mountainfest organizers were offered a performance for the following weekend, but
decided against changing the date of the festival. “Reba’s cancellation does not justify a change of date and the aggravation that it would create for the folks that have already booked their holiday time off,” said Active Mountain president Claude Lelievre. Tickets for the fes-

Our kids still have talent. The popular talent competition for youth ages eight to 18 is happening once again this year. Sponsored by the Rarearth Music Festival and Kiss FM, Our Kids Have Talent gives musical youth the chance to compete for more than $10,000 in cash and prizes and the opportunity to perform at the Rarearth festival. “For the past two years, the event has been sold out to capacity and has been instrumental in promoting, supporting and featuring all competitors in a number of initiatives throughout the Okanagan Valley all year round,” said Kath Raeber, founder and organizer of the Our Kids Have Talent competition.
Those interested in applying should note that dates and the location have been changed for the 2011 competition. Auditions will now take place Feb. 26 and 27 at St. James Hall, 2700 28th Ave., in Vernon. Everyone is welcome to attend and no admission will be charged. The top 10 performances will take place March 12. (Location to be announced.) “Many kids, including those that face daily challenges, who auditioned and/or won, have gone on to win other competitions,” said Raeber. “(They) have had airplay on various radio stations throughout B.C., recorded their own CDs, and are continually asked to perform at paid gigs.” Those who want to get involved

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let long titles scare you off science
B
ill Bryson is a popular author known for his endless curiosity, so it is not at all surprising that he has edited a fascinating new book, entitled Seeing Further: The Story of Science, Discovery, and the Genius of the Royal Society. Bryson gathers numerous writers together to celebrate the creation and work of the Royal Society during its 350th anniversary. Neal Wyatt, an editor from Library Journal, Maureen Curry examines not only this excellent work, but other titles that bring science to life. Inspired by Christopher Wrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lecture on astronomy in 1660, the Royal Society began with the mission of promoting experimental philosophy. What that boiled down to was inventing modern science. Among the luminaries contributing to Brysonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homage are James Gleick, who dives into the societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abundant history; Margaret Atwood, who explores the dark archetype of the mad scientist; and Richard Holmes, who explores the delights and experiments of ballooning. Bryson and his contributors have created a smart, celebratory work full of science, stories, history, and biography that lures readers in with its expansive view and lush illustrations. â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Illustrated Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time by Dava Sobel. After her runaway hit Longitude, Sobel republished her addictive tale of invention and discovery as a grown-up picture book-the kind, like Brysonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, that you just want to steal away with and dive into for a quiet afternoon. It is not just the attention to the visual that the two share, however. Fans who appreciate Brysonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smart style and the way his contributors create an open invitation to both learn and become obsessively fascinated will appreciate Sobelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s detailed
Heroic Discoveries, Titanic Storms, and a Vast Ocean of a Million Stories by Simon Winchester. As much as Brysonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection is about science, it is also about biography and history. On that note, fans who appreciate Bryson and companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wide view of a topic should find Winchesterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blend of science, story, and biography, as he tells the tale of an ocean, a good next read. Winchester writes with the same open invitation to readers to join him in exploration, and he also offers that bedrock sense that something amazing has happened and we are all lucky to get a chance to
OFF THE SHELF
experience it. In his exploration of the Atlantic Ocean, Winchester covers epic episodes of history as well as the creation of the sea and its future. This is a massive and sustaining story.

Sam Keanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book, The Disappearing Spoon, explores the history of the periodic table. exploration of how John Harrison solved the problem of measuring time at sea, enabling the calculation of longitude. Longitude was adapted for an A&E series starring Jeremy Irons and Michael Gambon. It makes a nice extension to the book. (This series is in the Okanagan Regional Library collection.) â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements by Sam Kean. Kean shares the same obsessive fascination with his topic as Bryson, and his joy in his subject shows on every page of this tour of the periodic table. The book is sure to entice Bryson fans into more consuming science reading. Like Bryson and his gang of brilliant writers, Kean relates the science and history of the elements through addictive storytelling, from how lithium affected poet Robert Lowell to how Marie Curie entertained guests (she glowed). Smart, funny, and deeply involving, this book makes it hard not to become interested in the wonders of the elements. â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Atlantic: Great Sea Battles,

Chamber serves up breakfast Morning Star Staff
Our Okanagan is an online tool that is all about connections. Simply put, it helps connect people looking for a local product or service with those that can provide them. This concept will be explored at a Jan. 19 breakfast seminar where representatives of Community Futures North Okanagan will give a history of the Our Okanagan project, its impact on economic development, plus an introduction to its unique features and community partners. Community Futures North Okanagan, a community-based not-for-profit corporation, offers a comprehensive selection of business and employer services, employment assistance services, and economic development as determined and required by local and regional communities. Presenter Leigha Horsfield will offer information and insight into Our Okanagan, the first of the 2011 ‘Business-4-Breakfast’ networking seminars, a series presented by the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce. “This series will bring a set of educational opportunities to our members and local businesses designed to assist with business retention and growth, while providing important networking opportunities,” said Sandra Starke, chamber president. Everyone is invited to join Wednesday’s seminar, which begins with breakfast at 7:30 a.m. at Glad Tidings Church Hall at 2570 Pleasant Valley Road. The presentation goes from 8 to 9 a.m. Pre-registration is required. Tickets are $6 for chamber members ($10 for non-members) and includes breakfast. To reserve a space or for more information, call 250-546-8155, or e-mail manager@aschamber.com.
Nowcom rerouting Morning Star Staff
Steve Lewis and Alex Brookes have hopped on the wireless wave. As the owners of Computers Plus of Enderby, a company they established in 2002, they were inundated with requests from rural customers for high-speed Internet access. They have since decided to close Computers Plus and are now focussing their efforts on Nowcom Wireless, a company they have operated since 2005. After extensive research and development, Nowcom (North Okanagan Wireless Communications) now offers a last mile long range wireless Internet service for rural areas of the North Okanagan. Since securing rights to set up their main feed repeaters on the Telus/Enderby Cliff Tower site in April of 2005, they now operate 20 active repeater sites, including two brand new sites in Mara. As a result, Nowcom is able to service all of rural Enderby and Area F, Hulcar, Spallumcheen, Armstrong, Deep Creek, Grandview Bench, Ashton Creek, Trinity Valley, Gardom Lake and Salmon River. With a sophisticated load balancing system and a self-sustaining bandwidth controlling system, they have experienced a growing customer base. And while Nowcom has focused mainly on the North Okanagan, Lewis and Brookes are planning to increase coverage to include the Shuswap. Nowcom offers free site evaluations to prospective customers.

I think the content really resonated with the students as they were hearing the financial facts from the financial professionals.” Mark Marino, career programs coordinator and planning 10 teacher agreed. “By bringing these financial experts into our class, the students were able to gain financial insight in an interesting and interactive way. Each of the three sessions were linked to the learning outcomes required by Planning 10, and we really appreciated all the tailored work done by EDCU and Partners in Planning staff to provide a rich learning experience. “We also had some laughs through the sessions, as a few kids said they will never leave home.” EDCU will be launching a new level of online financial offerings on an integrated website (www.enderbycreditunion.com). It will contain information specific to the planning students.

Chamber road show hits home
I
’m sure if I polled the audience of this newspaper, it would be safe to say that most of you have been on some wild, wonderful road trip in your lifetime. Likely it was a trip that engaged friends and family and has left experiences and unforgettable times etched in your memory. This past week, our chamber president, Deb Leroux, and I ventured out for a little road trip of our own…one that we lovingly called the “Chamber Road Show.” It was a pretty short road trip, likely totalling 10 kilometres with stops at four randomly selected businesses from our chamber membership. For us, it was an opportunity to visit with our members in their place of business while learning about their operations. And let me tell you, this was a road trip filled with variety, diversity and amazement with our business owners! From children’s ware to a funeral home to watching newspapers being printed to a visit with our 2010 Business of the Year… this was a road trip to be remembered! Our first stop was to Chicken Little Childhood Outfitters, a destination children’s boutique. Owner Lindsay Anderson made us feel quite at home in her retail out-

let, filled with unique fashions for children, books, decorations, strollers, travel gear, accessories and even a toy selection. Customers are able to visit the store, preorder products over the phone, and even set up a baby registry, wish list or birthday list. Gift wrapping is also available, and yes, this business owner will even deliver. Our second stop was to Personal Alternative Funeral Services who has been in business in Vernon for 10 years now. They are also located in Armstrong and service from Enderby to Lake Country. Manager Jaron Chasca pointed out to us that “every celebration of life is unique” and their customers come because this business offers alternative options and pricing. With 85 per cent of their business being based on referrals, this is clearly a trusted, well-respected business in our community that services all cultures and faiths. Their new location offers better exposure and a very positive, bright, engaging atmo-
sphere. Next we found ourselves sitting in the office of Nathan Weathington, the new publisher at The Morning Star. I am sure most of us are not aware that this is one of the largest newspapers in B.C., employing 120 people on a full time basis with an operation that results in 350 paycheques being issued on a monthly basis. The Morning Star has consistently been recognized in the newspaper industry through numerous awards for its editorial, sales, marketing and photography. In true community spirit, they contribute back through the sponsorship of more than 250 events and they offer a full scholarship for a local student to attend the University of Victoria business school. Our final stop on this road trip was to our 2010 Business of the Year award winner, Briteland Holdings Ltd. This is an amazing retail/wholesale operation, and owners Dave and Joanne Weatherill have been busy building this business since 1984. There is so much to see at this business as it is one of those places you could browse for hours. From agricultural supplies to pesticide management to farm animal products to an entire
wholesale division, Briteland offers products beyond imagination. Additionally, they operate Chemac Industries, a small manufacturing packaging facility making products that are shipped throughout

One way to discover the rainforest on the island of Antigua is to strap yourself into a harness and zipline high over the the trees.
Colours of the Caribbean COLLEEN FRIESEN Special To The Morning Star
CARIBBEAN - I am not a zip-lining kind of gal. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather take photos. However, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also one of those people who feel compelled to collect experiences much like saner people collect stamps... Until my recent trip to St. Lucia and Antigua and Barbuda I had only a vague idea where these places were. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d heard of weddings on St. Lucia, so I assumed it to be a postcard kind of placeâ&#x20AC;Śbut Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never heard of Antigua and Barbuda. But I knew they were somewhere in the tropical Caribbean, so when the opportunity to visit came up, I jumped at the chance. After all, I live in British Columbia. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dark and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually raining. I looked at my world map and saw islands curving down from Cuba like a chain of turquoise and emerald jewels all the way to South America. Near the lower third of those Blue Lagoon beauties, I found the two-island country of Antigua and Barbuda. If flying, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d only have to go just a little further south until you saw an island with the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only drive-up bubbling volcano. Voila! St. Lucia. But back to that ziplineâ&#x20AC;ŚIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d finished my dreamy break on St. Lucia with one regret. I wished Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d tried the volcanoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hot black mud bath. My remorse reminded me of Mark Twainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Śyou will be more disappointed by the things that you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do than by the ones you did doâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? Even so, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m having serious second thoughts about the Antigua Rainforest Canopy Tour, especially with the guideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s explanation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a series of nine continuous

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure not all of it is caused from the tropical humidity. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m holding up my hand like a cartoon cop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought this was a zipline, as in, I zip across once and then I go back to

Vacation provides a real zip Continued from previous page “What’s the least amount I can do to get back here?” He tells me I can quit at five, though, he says, I should realize that the fifth one across the ravine is the highest and longest. I inform him that five ziplines will be fine. Other willing victims arrive from a cruise ship bus. I see a variety of ages eagerly stepping into their safety harnesses. I repeat my Twaininspired resolution. And then I’m off. Suddenly I’m back to being 10-years old, swinging on the Tarzan rope in my backyard. And then I’m remembering the teenage rush of the roller coaster. Something shifts… I am the Queen of the Zipline. I want it all now. By the time I’ve finished the ninth crossing, my heart is pumping hard, my shirt is pretty damp and my grin permanent. My smile is about to get bigger. I’m enroute to meet Rosie McMaster of Susie’s Hot Sauce, and Rosie, it turns out, makes a roller coaster ride look tame. She opens her bungalow door, smiling. Rosie, like her house, is a veritable explosion of colour. The dining room has yellow pepper-coloured walls, chili red jars, glittery paper poinsettias, silver garland in a basket, her open suitcase from her last chili contest trip and all her hot sauces lined up on the dining room table. Rosie talks like other people breathe… I learn that Susie was her dearly departed mother who started Susie’s Hot Sauce. Rosie took over, expanding the now-fifty year old company from her mother’s original recipe, to include a full range of new flavours. She has won awards at the Texas Fiery Food Show and travels to contests from Toronto to Germany. In between trips, she’s cooking up drums of peppers. I love hot sauce but I’ve found some are so

Rosie McMaster (above) has won awards for Susie’s Hot Sauce, while a popular place for lunch (below) is Buba’s Hideout in Antigua I know why these sauces taste so good. Like Rosie and these islands, they’re filled with heat, tons of colourful exuberance and buckets of love. I bet Rosie would jump on that zipline in a second.

hot, there’s no real taste. But Rosie has done her mama proud: these sauces have depth with a heat that doesn’t block
the flavour. In between divine forkfuls of rum cake with mango hot sauce, I listen…Rosie has ideas
for sauces, cakes, label designs, marketing plans, recipes, trips, a new factory and suddenly I get it.

BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL Both an exciting and busy cycle is likely to emerge in the coming year, due to the worthy lessons you’ve learned about the value of creative expression. A rewarding market could emerge when the public gets a load of your wares.
PUZZLE NO. 203
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Certain conscientious efforts that you recently exerted could begin to pay off and bear fruit. If you’ve laid a strong foundation, your successes will be quite impressive.
ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 203
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Wit, warmth and charm are some of your most enviable assets and the reasons why others are implored to seek out your company. Good things will happen because of what you are.
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. 100401

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Help out someone you love by showing this person how to make the most of his/her resources. Because you’ve been through a lot yourself, you’re the best one to help. ARIES (March 21-April 19) If you’re doing anything of an important nature, be sure to align yourself with experienced people who can help your cause, not hinder it, even if it’s merely a sports challenge. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Even if this isn’t a workday for you, some kind of opportunity to accumulate funds is highly possible. It might come from being able to open a door that few have been able to access. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) This is a good day to get together with a pal who hasn’t been as cooperative with what you’ve been doing lately as s/he used to be. Find out what the reason might be, in case you can change it. CANCER (June 21-July 22) There is an excellent chance that you will be receiving some assistance with a matter in which you have been feeling alone and rejected. This help will turn everything right ‘round for you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Should one arise, don’t ignore an opportunity to help lift a heavy responsibility off of a friend’s shoulder. It’ll do much for you in sowing fresh seeds for true camaraderie.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) The sudden realization that it’s possible to achieve several important objectives will light a fire under your haunches. Once you believe you can reach your goals, they’ll seem much easier. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Being born with good leadership qualities won’t do a thing for you unless you take the reins when a need arises. If or when you feel tied down by outside forces, let your assertiveness emerge. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Certain explicit insights with which you’re endowed should enable you to succeed in handling a development that has others baffled. Don’t hesitate to step up, stomp the yard and take care of business. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) It’s time to sort out and put to use some lessons you’ve recently learned that you’ve been anxious to try. By restructuring your ideas, you’ll find several new means to gratify your efforts.

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 In “Time Enough for Love,” Robert Heinlein wrote, “Everything in excess! To enjoy the flavor of life, take big bites. Moderation is for monks.” Bridge contracts can be like that. If you have two or three bites -- two or three chances -- to make your contract, taste as many as possible. In today’s deal South is in six hearts. West leads the club queen: king, ace. East returns the missing trump. How should declarer continue? South’s four-heart opening bid promised an eight-card suit and some 6-10 high-card points. North cautiously used Blackwood, wondering if his partner had traded on the favorable vulnerability to open with an aceless
wonder. (If you use Blackwood, you must be willing to bid six even if an ace is missing.) At first glance, it looks as though South needs the spade finesse to work. But there is a second bite available. Maybe the diamond king will drop in two or three rounds. After taking trick two, declarer cashes dummy’s diamond ace and ruffs a diamond in his hand. He returns to dummy by trumping his second club and ruffs another diamond. If the king does not put in an appearance, South runs the rest of his hearts, which will squeeze West if he has both missing kings. If West does not discard the diamond king on the last trump, declarer throws the diamond queen
from the dummy, then plays a spade, planning to finesse dummy’s queen unless West produces the king. Here, though, the diamond king does drop, so South claims 12 tricks: one spade, eight hearts, two diamonds and the club ruff.

Heartfelt thanks to the special friends in Calgary who opened their homes and their hearts to Melissa, Jeff and the children while Melissa went there to undergo treatment in December. We’re changed now. Not because she left us, but because she touched us. She will be forever in our hearts.

Andrew “Andy” Kosmino We sadly announce the passing of Andrew “Andy” Kosmino in Vernon Jubilee Hospital on January 10, 2011 at the age of 75 years. Andy struggled for many years with a brain injury, the result of a motor vehicle accident in May of 2002. Other than his stay in the hospital after the accident, he lived at home in Armstrong. He was cared for by caregivers and his wife Joan. Andy will be greatly missed but will remain forever in the hearts of his wife Joan; daughter Andree; and beloved grandson Jesse Janzen. Andy is also survived by his brothers John (Eileen) of Vernon and Max (Pat) of Kelowna; sisters Jackie Bewley and Lil Martin both of Vancouver, Marie Sorci, Stacie Beaumont, Tina Kowalchuk and Rose (Bob) Robertson all of California; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Andy was born in Sexsmith AB on March 24, 1935 and moved with his family to Vernon at a very young age. He lived most of his life in Vernon. In 1997, Andy and wife Joan moved to a small acreage in Armstrong where Andy hobby farmed raising Texas Longhorn cattle. Andy was a well known business man (Kosmino Ventures) Trailer Sales. He sold the company to Douglas Lake Equipment in 2000 and continued to work for them up until the time of his accident. Andy was also well known in the horse world.

CHUNG, Lai Chu (Maria) 1926 - 2011 (Maria) Lai Chu was born in Kunming, Yunnan Province of China and passed away Jan. 11, 2011 at Noric House in Vernon. She attended Roman Catholic Convent School and attended Nursing School upon graduation. Lai Chu met and married Chu Shek during WWII and travelled all over china with him – Àying ¿ghter pilot missions. After the war, they settled in Hong Kong where they raised their three children: one son, Simon, and two daughters, Teresa (Hwang) and Crescentia (Wee). In 1984, they moved from heavily populated Hong Kong to Vernon to be closer to their eldest daughter, Teresa, husband Ghee and their family. Lai Chu lived with them for six years, helping to care for her three grandchildren: Hamish, Christine, and Leona. Her son, Simon, his wife, Carmen, and daughter, Flora also immigrated to Vernon in 1994. Lai Chu had been in Noric House for the past eleven years due to the progression of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases. She was predeceased by her daughter, Crescentia, in 1987 and by husband, Chu Shek in 2001. In lieu of Àowers, those friends wishing to make memorial contributions in memory of Maria Lai Chu may do so to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation, 2101 – 32 Street, Vernon, BC V1T 5L2. The Graveside Service will take place on Monday, January 17th, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. in Pleasant Valley Cemetery with Father Dale Normandeau, Celebrant.

SHIPPAM, Elizabeth (Liza) Elizabeth (Liza) Anne Shippam passed away quietly in the Vernon Jubilee Hospital, surrounded by her immediate family, after losing her four year battle with cancer, Thursday, January 13, 2011 at the age of 70. She is survived by her husband, John; daughter, Kim (Aaron) Nasipayko and grandson, Elijah Nasipayko. She will be sorely missed by cousins: Margorie Henn and Sarah Freeman along with countless in-laws and friends. She will also be remembered fondly by many of her colleagues and past students. Liza was predeceased by her mother, Isabel Perry; father, Judd Perry; aunts: Euphemia, Margaret and Marion, and uncle, John McNaught. Liza was born in Beaverlodge, Alberta, on April 6th, 1940 where she was raised on the family farm. As an only child Liza enjoyed many pets and animals. This is where her life long love of horses was cultivated. Liza went to university in Missoula, Montana, to train as a school teacher and spent most of her 34 years teaching in the Vernon School District, retiring 12 years ago. Liza participated in many community groups and volunteer organizations including Vernon District Pony Club, Vernon District Riding Club, Vernon Ski Club, Vernon and District Performing Arts Center and Vernon Communities In Bloom Committee. She enjoyed many activities including traveling, book club, her birthday luncheon group, and horseback riding in the mountains around Vernon and the Kakwa Provincial Park area. Anyone who knew Liza, admired her incredible zest for life and desire to do things for others. She never let anything get her down, always answering when asked how she was, “Oh, I’m Àne, how about you?” She always had a positive opinion to share and was wise beyond her years, teaching so many people how to be accepting and calm no matter what the situation, often saying, “Its not what you say, it’s how you make people feel that counts.” She was truly an exceptional human being, putting other people Àrst, right up until the day she went into the hospital. A Memorial Service will be held at Vernon Christian Fellowship (4505 29th Street Vernon, BC) Monday, January 17, 2011, at 2:00 pm. Those wishing to do so may make a memorial donation in Liza’s memory to McNaught Homestead Preserveration Society, Box 879, Beaverlodge, Alberta T0H 0C0. A Memorial Service will be held in Beaverlodge, AB at a later date. Details to follow. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family at: vernon@myalternatives.ca Arrangements entrusted to: PERSONAL ALTERNATIVE FUNERAL SERVICES Vernon 250-558-0866, Armstrong 250-546-7237
