ing the north tourist booth and signalization at intersections. Council decided Tuesday to take $800,000 out of casino revenue and direct it towards transportation demand management initiatives like transit, trails and bicycle paths. “The cost of infrastructure for maintaining roads for vehicles is greater than infrastructure for alternate transportation,” said Baumbrough. “It also ties in with our official community plan and the overall vision for the community.” Of the $800,000, $200,000 will go into a transit reserve. And while that move was unanimous, some council members expressed reservations. “We live in a spread-out city and twothirds of the area wouldn’t consider getting on transit. It’s too far,” said Coun. Shawn Lee. “This is a transplanted philosophy to us. We’re not the Lower Mainland, we ‘re not London or Toronto. We’re a small city.”
Turning on the tap is going to cost more in Greater Vernon. On Wednesday, the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee proposed to increase water utility rates for all categories, including 20 per cent for the average single-family residential home. “We need to educate the public that this isn’t expensive,” said director Mike Macnabb. “We have been undervaluing this commodity for years.” The quarterly residential base fee could go from $50.15 to $66.20. If the rate is ratified by the North Okanagan Regional District, the average residential bill will go from $480.58 to $579.70 a year. “The increase is to cover our fixed costs which are 80 per cent of our costs,” said director Jim Garlick, pointing out that the Duteau Creek water treatment facility is now fully operational. “Everyone who has a tap needs this plant. We need to pay towards the flat rate.” GVAC is also preparing to meet Interior Health Authority guidelines such as filtration. The base fee does not include the initial use of 20 cubic metres of water. After the base fee, water will be charged based on consumption. Director Gyula Kiss, who voted against the rates, is concerned the higher flat fee will be unfair for people who use less than the average amount of water. “Low users, people on fixed incomes, will pay a huge amount,” he said. As a way of lowering rates, Kiss insists money should not be put aside in capital reserves and as funds are required for major projects, a borrowing referendum be held. “The current customer should not be carrying the weight for future development,” he said. Wayne Lippert, GVAC chairperson, doesn’t believe the proposed rates are out of line when compared to other communities. “In Area C (BX-Silver Star), there is a private water utility with a $600 flat fee, restrictions to the hilt and they’re on a boil water advisory,” he said. A GVAC survey of other communities shows that compared to the average bill of $480.58 in Greater Vernon in 2010, the cost was $577 in Kamloops, a minimum of $352.25 in Salmon Arm, $467 in Lake Country (unmetred homes), $431.10 in Westbank, $686.28 in Summerland, $387 in Penticton, $466 in the Southeast Kelowna Irrigation District and a minimum of $325.94 with the City of Kelowna utility.

Driver unknowingly assisted robbery ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
There’s no question Jody Lynn Sam of Salmon Arm drove the getaway vehicle used in a robbery of the downtown Vernon branch of Scotiabank on Aug. 6, 2010. The question is, did Sam, 39, know she was actually helping her co-accused, Karl Nelson of Salmon Arm, commit a robbery? The answer, according to Vernon Supreme Court Judge Peter Rogers is no, who acquitted Sam of a robbery charge Thursday morning following two hours of evidence and testimony from Sam herself. Sam testified that on the afternoon of Aug. 6, she and her son, Wayne, 20, were heading to a beach in Salmon Arm and had borrowed her mom’s 2003 grey Ford Focus. After a dip in Shuswap Lake, they were heading back

to Salmon Arm when Sam’s son noticed Nelson hitchhiking on the other side of the Trans-Canada Highway. “He told him to come across the road and get a ride with us,� said Sam while being questioned by her lawyer, Don Campbell. “It’s a custom for natives to pick up other natives when they are hitchhiking.� Knowing the man they picked up as being in a relationship, and having had a child, with her cousin, Sam waited as Nelson got into the back seat. He said he needed to go to his bank in Vernon, that he had to go to the main branch because he had no ID and no bank card. “I don’t have enough gas to get to Vernon,� said Sam. “He said if you take me to Vernon, I’ll give you money after he’s done at the bank.� They stopped at a station
in Salmon Arm, having borrowed a toonie from her son and finding loose change on the car’s console, and put a small amount of gas in the Ford Focus, then the trio headed to Vernon. Shortly before 4 p.m. on Aug. 6, Nelson told Sam to park in the alley behind Scotiabank and wait for him while he went into the bank. About five minutes later, he returned, got in the car told Sam and her son to “lock the doors and start driving.� “He said, ‘Go left. Is anybody coming behind us?’� said Sam. “I’m like, ‘What? What’s going on?’ I knew at that point that something wasn’t right.� With the co-accused in the back seat telling her to “drive faster,� Sam began to head out of town on Highway 97 towards Salmon Arm. He wanted her to “take a back
road� to Salmon Arm but Sam refused, saying she didn’t have enough gas. A police officer listening on the radio to a description of the getaway vehicle saw the car as he was southbound on Highway 97 and immediately turned around. With Sam weaving in and out of traffic, according to her because of demands from the man in the back seat, police began to follow. The Ford Focus turned onto a gravel pit road off Highway 97A, which is where the chase would end when Sam stopped the car after going several kilometres up a dirt road. Police found a bag that had been tossed from the car along the dirt road. It contained money and clothes. Nelson got out of the car and was in such an agitated state, according to Sam and
police witnesses, that he would not comply with an officer’s demand to get on the ground. He eventually complied and was handcuffed. Sam and her son were ordered out of the car and onto the ground, which both did without incident. Crown prosecutor Howard Pontious hammered away at Sam’s story, asking her repeatedly why she didn’t stop the car and have her and her son get out with “all of the traffic in Vernon,� and “with a police car in pursuit?� “I was scared, I was frightened by Nelson,� said Sam. “I didn’t know if he had a knife, or if he was going to choke me out.� Judge Rogers believed Sam’s version, saying while it was true she drove the getaway car, it was in her culture to pick up fellow natives while hitchhiking, and that it

was reasonable to believe she did not know what was going on after the robbery as she feared for her safety and that of her son while dealing with an agitated, imposing figure in the back seat of her vehicle, a figure who had just robbed a bank. The trial for Nelson in this matter is slated to start May 2 in Vernon Supreme Court. Sam had been in custody since August on the matter.

There will be a meeting Feb. 4 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Grindrod Community Hall. “The hall will probably be too small,” said Halvorson of the anticipated crowd.

Soaring water rates in three North Okanagan communities are on hold so residents can provide input. The North Okanagan Regional District has held off on the adoption of new utility fees for Grindrod, Mabel Lake and Whitevale so discussions can be held with customers. “We will have public information meetings with residents in those communities,” said Arnold Badke, engineering general manager. Domestic water fees could climb 99 per cent in Grindrod, while it could be 20 per cent in Whitevale, near Lumby, and 14 per cent at Mabel Lake in the Kingfisher area. “I’m definitely hearing from Grindrod residents,” said Herman Halvorson, rural Enderby director. The proposed bylaw could see rates in Grindrod go from $226 to $450 a year. Officials say the increase is needed to pay for the treatment plant, repair equipment, update the com-
BX-Silver Star director, says a public meeting wasn’t held because most Silver Star residents know they have to pay for upgrades. “We have no option,” he said. “There is costs with the Vance Creek reservoir and with ultraviolet treatment. There are also some additional works and we’re looking at our financial reserves because things (equipment) will wear out.”

The bus stops here
W
hen I was very young, there were a few things I looked forward to doing as I grew up. As a Grade 1 student, I looked forward to having homework. Hard to imagine, I know, but at the time it struck me as the height of maturity. Of course, once I hit high school, the novelty of homework wore off very quickly, and doing it usually required a fair bit of parental nagging. The other thing that I looked forward to doing was riding the school bus. From kindergarten to Grade 7, I attended my neighbourhood elementary school, which involved a 10-minute walk, and was close enough that I walked Katherine Mortimer home for lunch every day as well. A rare treat was to get a ride to school if we were running late or the snow was too deep. In Vancouver, that was rarely an issue. In Grade 8, I started at a new school that was on the other side of town and required being on the bus early in order to make it to school on time. On my first day, my dad dropped me off at the bus and I, a nervous and shy 13-year-old, was terrified. The ride to school wasn’t too bad. The ride home, however, involved the pick-up at my school and then pick-ups at three other schools, so that by the time we were well on our way home, each seat usually had three kids crammed in together. The noise level was such that there were a few times when the driver pulled over, yelled at us and threatened to kick us off. I’m pretty sure drivers aren’t allowed to do that anymore (they probably weren’t then either). By the time I started in Grade 9, I no longer wanted the charter bus experience, so took the city bus instead. It meant transferring downtown, but the hassle was balanced by the fact that we could go into The Coffee Mug, a now defunct restaurant in the basement of the Bay in downtown Vancouver. There, ever the sophisticates, we drank coffee heavily laced with sugar and

cream, and smoked illicit cigarettes. Then it was time to hop on the bus and continue our journey. But aside from our teenage coffee klatsch, there was nothing fun about standing in the dark, in the rain — because in Vancouver in the winter, it was usually raining — and praying the next bus was ours. Once some of us started driving and borrowing or acquiring cars, the drive to school was a lot more fun, and once again rather loud, thanks to the blaring of the eight-track stereo. Now that I have a child in elementary school, I’ve discovered that the excitement little kids feel for public transportation is still there. Over the last few years, trips home to Vancouver have involved rides on the bus, the SkyTrain and the SeaBus, all cheap but thrilling entertainment for a toddler. When my daughter was in kindergarten last year, she couldn’t wait to take the bus. I, on the other hand, was a nervous wreck thinking about her being on that huge bus with a bunch of other kids, most of whom we didn’t know. But my fears were laid to rest thanks to the reassurance of Alan Hemming (and special shout-out to drivers Eugene Branchuk and Mark Olsen). The transportation supervisor for the Vernon School District calmly explained to me how it all worked during kindergarten orientation. He patiently answered my questions and made me feel better. Whenever I called the transportation department to ask Alan a question, he always answered patiently and respectfully, and yet he must have answered these same questions a million times before. And this year, I found myself calling him again when we changed our daycare routine and required busing again. I think this involved several calls to Alan. And once again, he answered patiently and never once made me feel as though I was interrupting him or being utterly ridiculous with my repetitive questions. Alan retires in April after 30 years with the district. He has definitely earned his retirement, and I wish him all the best. But his successor has some awfully big shoes to fill.
While we Okanaganites are engaged in debate over everything from tax and water rate hikes to a Kelowna RCMP officer kicking an arrested suspect in the head, there is always hope that the issues we face will be resolved and we will move forward. For the people of Haiti, there is little of that hope to cling to. It’s been one year since a 7.0-magnitude earthquake brought this nation to its knees. Billions of dollars have been pledged to help the country get back on its feet, but the country still can’t get a foothold it seems. From Haiti’s grim cholera-ridden streets, we in Canada should have a new appreciation for what we have, especially for the basics of food, water, shelter, health care and well-run government. Reconstruction of the country is moving in slow motion. Only five per cent of the rubble in the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince has been cleared since the earthquake. According to Canadian officials, 85 per cent of its citizens lived in abject poverty before the quake. Only one in five had access to clean water. After the earth shook, 30 hospitals were destroyed. Three out of four medical schools were levelled, as was the nation’s largest nursing hospital. Add hurricanes, disease and political instability to the mix, and the devastation is worse than some war zones. Meanwhile, many of us Canadians go about our daily lives and find plenty to complain about. Some Haitians lost entire families in the quake and have little to live for. One million people are homeless or in camps. Sexual violence is rampant. But in spite of all that, the Haitian people haven’t given up on their nation. It’s a sombre situation that offers us plenty of reasons to pause and be grateful for what we have in Canada. – Kelowna Capital News

History lesson sheds some light
T
he current proposal to locate sport facilities on the Okanagan College Kalamalka Campus site appears to have broad community support, however I think it is worthwhile to consider why the college site is currently configured the way it is before we proceed. The following presents a review of the site history. The general area of the college site was designated Agricultural Land Reserve in 1974. Apparently, the area where the sports facilities are proposed was historically used for pasture but has not been cultivated or grazed for the past several decades. Note that about half of the Class 1-4 land in the Okanagan ALR, as well as in the provincial ALR, is not currently used for crops. These lands are being protected for food production for future generations. In 1979, Lots 4 and 5 (the site) were transferred from the Ministry of Forests to Okanagan College. I was the Professional Agrologist retained by Doug Huggins, the Vernon architect who designed the college, to carry out an agricultural assessment of the site and to assist in the preparation of an application to the Agricultural Land Commission to use a portion of the site for the college facilities. The agricultural capability of the site ranges from Class 1 for the level areas to Class 7 for the steep slopes of the ravines. With irrigation, a wide range of crops, including vegetables, grapes and tree fruits, could be grown on the site. These lands have essentially the same soils and climate as their counterpart benches across the lake on Kidston Road where the orchard and dairy are located. The intent of the original ALR application was to use the less agriculturally suitable areas of

QUESTIONS COME TO LIGHT I am really confused by the new law, is anyone else? I'll be the first to admit that I have not watched all of the news stories or read all newspaper articles, but I must have missed a lot of information. My point being, if we have to use the new type of light bulb are no questions being asked or did I just miss the answers? First, they have mercury in them (even if it is a small amount). Isn't that supposed to be hazardous to our health? Sounds to me that we are going backwards in our thinking. Second, if we are to recycle them, do they just go into our biweekly recycling? If so, will they not get broken or crushed in the truck compactors? Will that not be a health risk to the drivers? And then when they get up to recycling to the people sorting

Lot 5 for the college facilities and to save the larger, level area of Lot 4 for future agricultural or forestry use, related to the college curriculum. The ALC supported the proposal, stating (in part): …to allow for the construction of a college campus and related uses on lot 5, …subject to the condition that no buildings or structures be located on …lot 4…it is the commission’s understanding that lot 4 is to be used by the college for agricultural or forestry-related uses. Three years ago, we saw how passionately Coldstream voters feel about agricultural land protection when the sports complex was proposed on the Spicer block area of the Coldstream Ranch. Most of us were not against the development of sports facilities in the community, we just didn’t want to see it on prime agricultural lands. There are two major reasons why I question putting the proposed sports facilities on the Kalamalka Campus site. First, 30 years ago, Okanagan College and the ALC made an agreement that allowed the construction of the campus while also
the recycling (some intact and other broken)? Does that not contaminate every other piece of recycling? Third, am I the only person that has ever dropped a light bulb by mistake? Are there cleanup and health warnings on the packaging? What if a child should come in contact with them? Or even worse pick one up and drop it and it breaks? I also now have to replace lamps that have wire holders that go over top of the light bulb, yes they are old but stylish and nothing wrong with them. And who in government thought that this should be better for us? Was there extensive education and advertising on this mercury filling product? Or, do we sit back and take Big Brother's word for it that everything is good for us and we should not worry? I seem to have a lot more questions than answers, but maybe I haven't been paying enough attention to what the government has to say. Don't get me wrong, I do my part every day to recycle, reuse, and not try to leave an impact on the envi-

Sears RICH AND POOR The rich are getting richer and the cream is rising to the top faster now than ever before. People are making money through speculation and other means where they do not have to do any work. Furthermore, the middle class is, and somewhat has, gone down the tube. Furthermore, the poor are getting poorer. Gee, I think a man in the 1800's predicted this phenomenon. Now that I have some attention I will say that my main focus is on the poor. "Charity," "volunteering," and "food banks," are buzz words of the 2000s. Buying turkeys and delivering toys to the poor is the right thing to do at Christmas, and by all means continue to do this seasonal activity. However, being poor is not once a year.

in a province that claims to be a land of haves. Poor people do not eat right, they do not own cars let alone insure them, and most likely they live in draughty homes. They cannot afford haircuts, many basic toiletries, or even detergent. These are things most take for granted and are now part of the norm of our society. They have children who go to school on an empty stomach, and they assume the school is going to provide a breakfast, snack, and lunch for them. Yes, it is the children who suffer the most. They deserve to go to school in shoes that fit and clean underwear; some things that the well-to-do also take for granted. The poor children deserve to have deodorant and shampoo, and they deserve some dignity Gifts and extra food are good at Christmas and are appreciated, but more must be done to address the actual poverty. For a start the poor must become more active on their own behalf, so I suggest public demonstrations at our MLA and MP's offices. Being poor is ugly. Barb Johnston

protecting the good agricultural land for future research use. Why is this no longer valid? Why would we try to undo decisions and commitments that were rational then and are even more valid today in light of current global food production issues? Secondly, it would be very difficult and expensive today to put together a comparable college site in the Okanagan with 10 acres of highly arable land attached that could be used for crop research. There are currently no agricultural courses taught at the college but Dean John Lent supports the idea of incorporating food production courses into the curriculum. I have been working with him and Mayor Jim Garlick on the development of a crop research plot at the college which is currently under construction in the area between the parking lot and the ravine. Clearly the desire is there to support agricultural courses and to start doing crop research. In summary, it is encouraging to be moving forward with constructing a crop research plot at the campus site but I believe we should also be protecting the prime land that was set aside for this purpose in 1979. I believe that it will be difficult for the ALC to reverse their original, well thought out decision. However, if a decision is made to allow the sports facilities, Coldstream has requested that a legal covenant be placed on the five-acre portion of the remaining area of Lot 4. Five prime acres would be taken up by the running track, the turf field and associated buildings while the capacity to develop crop research plots within the adjacent five-acre site would be retained. In my opinion, this would be an acceptable compromise. Paul Christie

Prison survey expands RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A broader base of residents could be ringing up input on a proposed correctional facility. Director Rick Fairbairn is considering a phone survey for the rural Lumby electoral area in conjunction with a similar initiative in the Village of Lumby. “I’ve been getting calls both for and against on a facility,” said Fairbairn. “Rural residents don’t understand why they wouldn’t have a say in a facility.” If a 360-cell prison were to proceed, it would be located on land located within village boundaries. However, the electoral area is right next door. “We surround the village,” said Fairbairn of his jurisdiction. “What happens in Lumby impacts us and what happens in our area impacts the village.” Fairbairn doesn’t believe his residents are trying to influence what development occurs in a neighbouring jurisdiction. “If we do a poll, we will present the results to the village for its perusal,” he said. “We are trying to help them with their decision.” Lumby council is expected to make a decision on a phone survey for village residents Feb. 7.
“What happens in Lumby impacts us.”
HUGE SAVINGS!
— Rick Fairbairn
The survey itself would be held fairly soon because the provincial government has set an April deadline to hear from communities interested in a prison. Rural Lumby’s survey would occur at the same time. Kevin Acton, village mayor, supports Fairbairn holding a phone survey for his residents. “His area wants an opinion and wants to be heard,” said Acton. However, Acton warns that any input from the electoral area will not dictate what his council does. “We will take it into consideration but a final decision is based on the village taxpayers,” he said. “They are the ones who will be impacted by it (prison) directly tax-wise.”

Cherryville celebrates outdoor rink Morning Star Staff
Cherryville residents are lacing up their skates and preparing for a day of fun. The Cherryville Community Club will hold an appreciation skate and celebration Saturday at the outdoor skating rink at 127 North Fork Rd. “We are well into our second season of skating,” said Lisa Larson, with the club.
“We want to celebrate what we have been able to accomplish in such a short time due to the contributions of our many supporters, donors and volunteers.” There will be a family skate from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. with refreshments provided. And from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m., there will be a hockey game/scrimmage. “Don’t forget to bring your skates and hockey
gear,” said Larson. The rink includes a building and enclosed area, as well as equipment for ice production and maintenance. “We are currently in the process of erecting a sign that recognizes all of the support that we have been given,” said Larson. “The facility is being used on a daily basis by people of all skills and ages, and the com-

Enderby relays tour bid RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Enderby wants to celebrate the Man In Motion. City council and the Enderby Chamber of Commerce will look at participating in a national relay marking the 25th anniversary of Rick Hansen’s world tour to raise funds for spinal cord injury research. “We want to be one of the communities they stop at,” said Mayor Dee Wejr. The nine-month relay will start Aug. 24 and it will largely follow the original Man Tate Bengston In Motion route. Among the places Hansen visited then was Enderby. “I took my kids and took pictures. I have one shot where he’s working so hard and he impressed me,” said Wejr. “It’s an important part of our history and the relay would be a wonderful experience.” Wejr believes the chamber of commerce is an obvious partner for the city when preparing for this event. “They did such a great job with the Olympic torch relay,” she said. The chamber expects planning for the Man In Motion relay will begin soon. “Rick Hansen visited Enderby 25 years ago, so I see this chance to be a host community as bringing things full circle,” said Tate Bengston, executive director. “It is a great opportunity to celebrate Mr. Hansen’s leadership, accomplishments, contributions, and the inspiration that he provided. It is
also a time for our community to reaffirm our support for the values of inclusivity and accessibility that Mr. Hansen represents.” Hansen, who is present of the Rick Hansen Foundation, is encouraging communities to get involved. “This is an opportunity for you and your community to create your own experience — however big or small — and entirely of your choosing,” said Hansen in a letter to Enderby council.

Event shakes up region
PUCK PLAY
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan isn’t known for earthquakes, but residents should still be prepared. The public is encouraged to take part in ShakeOut B.C., a provincewide event, Wednesday at 10 a.m. “Earthquakes are infrequent and fairly small,�said Helen Sinclair, with North Okanagan emergency management. “But they do occur and they meet our hazard list. It’s good to be aware of hazards.� Awareness could prove valuable when visiting areas where quakes are more common. “You will want to know what to do if you spend a weekend at the coast and many of our young people go there for education,� said Sinclair. “What you practice now can come back to you when you need it.� ShakeOut B.C. is being organized by the B.C. Earthquake Alliance. “Where ever you are at 10 a.m. on that date, pretend there has been an earthquake and drop, cover and hold,� said Sinclair. For more information on earthquake preparedness, go to www.shakeoutbc.ca. North Okanagan emergency management provides information on how to prepare for all types of emergencies, not just wildfires. Details on emergency management in the North Okanagan can be found at www.vernon. ca (click on residential service/protective services and then emergency management).

Coldstream Elementary students Brett Lambert (left), Travis Jackson and Patrick Dew present the proceeds from a recent bottle drive to Andrea Egan, with the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation.
Students’ initiative applauded Morning Star Staff
Some local youth have proven that you are never too young to make a difference in your community. Three Grade 7 students at Coldstream Elementary School — Patrick Dew, Travis Jackson and Brett Lambert — organized a neighbourhood bottle drive which supported the children’s wing of the new tower at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. “The boys showed amazing initiative in implementing their school project, with its theme to give back to the community,” said Andrea Egan, with the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation.” Two days before the students went doorto-door asking neighbours to donate returnable bottles, they sent a notice to the each home explaining that they were raising money for the new hospital. Their neighbours in the Middleton area responded generously. Not only did the trio successfully raise $120 from the returned bottles, plus $59 in donations, but they also received matching donations from Hogarth’s Clinic Pharmacy and Geotech Drilling Services for a
total of $538. When deciding where the proceeds should go, they explain
that, “we chose the children’s area of the new hospital because anyone of us could need to
use it and because the wife of our teacher, Mr. Kersey, had a baby girl there recently.”

Vipers jacked for BCHL showdown GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Vipers like to consider themselves a defence-first hockey team. They boast the best goals against average (2.36) in the Interior Conference, and are second only to the Powell River Kings, who top the B.C. Hockey League with a dazzling 1.73 GAA. That alone should make for a thriller when the two teams clash tonight in a heavyweight showdown at Wesbild Centre. Add in the fact that Vernon has bested Powell River in the last two Fred Page Cup finals, and fireworks are pretty much guaranteed. “It’s the biggest game of the year for sure, and we’re going to be ready for that. It’s a chance to play against the best in the league and prove ourselves,” said Vernon defenceman Brett Corkey, who recorded his first goal of the season as the Vipers thrashed the Merritt Centennials 6-0 Tuesday night at Wesbild Centre. “It’s going to come down to who’s working hardest in the corners and who’s winning those battles between the dots and the boards.” Vernon, who play 10 of their remaining 13 games at home, entertain the Coquitlam Express (15-19-1-9) Saturday at Wesbild. The Kings (35-6-3-2) enter Friday’s contest having lost just once in their last 16 games. They used 2+1 from Daniel Schuler, and a goal and assist each from veterans Matt Garbowsky and Justin Dasilva as they outgunned the Trail Smoke Eaters 5-3 Wednesday night at Cominco Arena. Steven Schmidt and Garbowsky fired third-period goals to complete a 3-2 comeback win over the host Westside Warriors Tuesday night at Royal LePage Place. The Vipers (26-9-4-8) have registered points in 20 of their last 21 games and are first in the Interior, one point ahead of the Penticton Vees (30-12-2-1), who have two games in hand. Vernon’s last regulation loss was to the Kings in mid-November. “We played them to a 5-2 loss with an empty-netter, but for two periods we were close,” said Vipers’ head coach Mark Ferner. “There’s not going to be any surprises. We just have to work for everything that we get. We’ll have to be real good for 60 minutes to give ourselves a chance to win. It’s going to be a good challenge for our young group.” The Snakes put a different spin on their defensive trademark Tuesday against the

Vernon Viper netminder Blake Voth gets set for an incoming shot from the Merritt Centennials' Steve Tresierra in BCHL action Tuesday night at Wesbild Centre. Voth recorded 19 saves to backstop the Vipers to a 6-0 win and his fourth shutout of the season. Cents as four Viper blueliners got on the scoreboard, including a three-point night by the recently acquired Ryan Renz (fourth goal, two assists), named first star. Other blueliners getting in on the action were second star Stevie Weinstein (fourth), who has points in five straight games, Malcolm Lyles (sixth) and Corkey, who unleashed a rocket from the high slot to beat netminder Tyler Steel top shelf to make it 3-0 midway through the second period. “I was in shock. It felt like my jaw hit — Brett the ice,” grinned the Calgary product, of his first BCHL goal. “I knew his top corner was going to be open because he goes down a lot so I just tried to aim high, closed my eyes and let ‘er rip.” Goals by Dylan Walchuk (19th) and David Robinson, with his team-leading 22nd, capped the Vernon attack before 1,739 fans. Third star Blake Voth made 19 stops to earn his fourth shutout of the season. After facing just three shots in the first
period, Voth was tested more in the second. The Herbert, Sask. product dragged his right pad just long enough to get a piece of Dylan Playfair’s deflection on Billy Marshall’s point shot, then used his blocker to deny Blaine Bokenfohr’s shot as he cut in from the wing. The Cents (17-21-0-6) got off to a dismal start as Steel, a Vernon product, let in two soft goals (by Lyles and Weinstein) from the point. Merritt head coach Luke Pierce wasn’t about to hang the loss on his netminder. Corkey “Our guys need to do a better job of bouncing back and giving him some support. Both he and Lino (Chimienti) have kept us in some games this year, and they’ve won us some games,” said Pierce. “(Vernon) outworked us, they were hungrier for pucks, they executed on their powerplay and they outworked us on their penalty kill. Overall, they were just a much better team.” This is the first time in four regular-

season meetings the two teams did not go into overtime. The Vipers, who went 2-for-4 on the powerplay, evened the season series at 2-2. As a former Viper, Merritt captain Steve Tresierra knows the work ethic Ferner demands from his players, and he has seen from both sides what can happen if the opposition doesn’t match it. “We took the night off and you’ve got to be sharp against those guys because they’re going to capitalize on every little mistake you make,” said Tresierra. Both teams played a physical game. Dane Muench delivered one of the bigger checks in the first period as he stapled Playfair to the boards in front of the Merritt bench early in the frame. In the second period, Lyles hammered Max Vallis as he came across the blueline with his head down. Bokenfohr earned a retaliatory minor when he ran the Viper blueliner awkwardly into the boards. Lyles left the game, but returned for the third period. Said Tresierra: “We play a rough style. We like to play the body and be physical and that’s how we’re successful. We didn’t really bring that tonight, but most of the time when we do it’s pretty intimidating and we have great success with it.” Added Ferner: “I don’t know if a lot of teams are going to want to play them in the playoffs. They work hard and they’re not going to stop and you’ve got to jump on them.” SNAKE BITES: Former Viper Chay Genoway is among six BCHL grads nominated for the Hobey Baker Award, given annually to the top player in NCAA men’s hockey. Genoway is the top-scoring defenceman with the North Dakota Fighting Sioux with 4-19-23 in 25 games. Other BCHL grads up for the award include Tyler McNeely (Merritt Centennials), Wade McLeod (Burnaby Express), netminder Chris Rawlings (Cowichan Valley Capitals), Kyle MacKinnon (Langley Chiefs) and Justin Schultz (Westside Warriors). Online voting is available at www.hobeybakeraward.com. Past BCHL grads to win the award include Paul Kariya and Brendan Morrison...In KIJHL action Wednesday night, the Kelowna Chiefs got goals two minutes apart late in the second period from P.J.

Jenn Gerow’s Gateway Mechanical frontenders Vanessa Samborski (left) and Melissa Moen await sweeping instructions in Baron Insurance Super League action at the Vernon Curling Club. Gerow burgled points in six consecutive ends to ambush Ty Griffith’s Nufloors 7-1 Wednesday night.
Gateway girls gong Griffith Morning Star Staff
Ty Griffith’s Nufloors should probably file a police report against Jenn Gerow after what happened Wednesday night at the Vernon Curling Club. The charge – theft. Gerow’s Gateway Mechanical recorded six straight steals to brush back Griffith 7-1 in what turned out to be as much a three-on-three family challenge as it was a Baron Insurance Super League game. Griffith, now tied with Jim Cotter’s Woodland Equipment at 10-4, responded with a single in seven, but Gerow (4-10), curling against older brother Darin, completed the upset with a single in eight. Blake Kimura’s Village Green Hotel earned an upset of their own with a 7-6 win over Cotter. With the two rinks tied 3-3 after five ends, Cotter collected a deuce in six, only to watch Kimura (5-8) respond with a three-ender in seven to take the lead. Cotter counted one in eight to force an extra end, but the veteran Kimura came through with a hit-and-roll to the four-
foot to seal the win. Brad Kuhn’s North Enderby Timber took sole possession of first at 11-3 by stopping Dave Merklinger’s Jet Ice 6-4. With little brother Ryan at skip, the NET crew collected a triple in two and deuce in four to go up 5-2 at the midway point. The 9-4 Jet Ice crew answered with singles in five and seven, but NET, using great setups by super lead Robbi Kuhn, closed with a single in eight. T.J. Perepolkin started strong and just kept going as his Canaccord Wealth Management razed Wayne Laface’s Inspiration Homes 9-2. After giving up a deuce in one, Laface (9-6) made a clutch shot to avoid a Perepolkin steal in two. The Canaccord front end went to work on the brooms, guiding a rock for a tiny bump for two in the fourth end. The two rinks traded singles in five and six, and facing a draw against five in seven, Laface’s final shot picked, resulting in a big steal and handshakes. Perepolkin
improved to 8-7. In a battle of junior rinks, Jon Gardner’s Sladen Moore pocketed a pair of twopoint steals in the early ends to earn a 9-3 win over Kayla Gunner’s Armstrong Inn. Gardner, now 8-7, racked on a guard in the fourth end, leaving Gunner, now 2-12, a draw for three. Gardner, who will compete in the M&M Meat Shops Canadian Juniors starting Jan. 29 in Calgary, countered with an open draw for five in the fifth end. Meanwhile, Prince George’s Patti Knezevic, with Vernon’s Chelan Cotter at second, is 1-5 at the Scotties B.C. Women’s Championships in Cloverdale. After falling 7-3 to Kelowna’s Kelly Scott in their Monday opener, Knezevic responded with a 7-5 win against Nanaimo’s Nicole Backe. Losses to Richmond’s Kristy Lewis (6-4), Royal City’s Kelly Law (6-4), Kamloops’ Karla Thompson (8-1) and Duncan’s Roz Craig (6-5) have Knezevic in a three-way share of last place. Law is undefeated at 6-0, followed by Scott and Craig at 5-1.

The Vernon Bannister Chev-Olds Heat finished 2-2 at the 16-team Summerland Atom Hockey Tournament last weekend. The Bannister bunch opened by falling 8-7 to the Summerland Jets. Myles Wohlford and Carter Morris each scored twice for the Heat, while singles went to Jadon Foster, Jacob Sherriff and Chase Batchelor. The Heat then tied the Winfield Bruins 3-3 on goals from Kaden Doughty, Morris and Sherriff. Evan Trottier bagged two goals as the Heat brushed back the Westside Panthers 7-4 with other goals coming from Morris, Wohlford, Batchelor, Kayden Doughty and Sebastien Wenger. The win moved Vernon into first place in Pool D and put them in a semifinal where they bowed 8-0 to the high-powered Castlegar Rebels. In Novice C play, the Backyard Bobcat/Lumby Tirecraft/Nor Renovation Lumby Stars ambushed the Westside Monsters 10-1 Sunday. Westside scored in the first minute of play, but goalie Linden Catt, in his debut between the pipes, closed the door the rest of the way. Nic Teale counted 4+2, while Matthew Yaremcio added a hat trick, Conner Seehaver added a pair and Noah Clarke chipped in with a single. Tage Kineshanko and Quin Williamson each registered four helpers. Defensive linemates Ethan Beliveau, Logan Leach, Liam MacLeod, Michael Preston and Peter Romailler shut down the Westside offence. The Sladen Moore Lakers continue their climb to contention for the provincial Pee Wee Female playdowns. The Lakers battled back from a 3-0 deficit to tie the Pee Wee Super League second-place Blackburn Silverblades of Salmon Arm 3-3. Makenna Hoffman scored unassisted halfway through the second period to spark the comeback. Affiliate Samantha Head added a second goal early in the third, tapping home the rebound after Chelsae Marshall bounced one off the crossbar on a feed from Easton Gilowski. Hoffman then set up affiliate Jordyn Pimm in her debut with the Lakers for the equalizer. Salmon Arm pulled ahead with a powerplay goal with three minutes left but Emily Clarke tied it up 10 seconds later taking the face-off win from Mairyn Tucker and walking in from the blueline restoring the tie. Goaltender Bailey Berndt made a a couple big saves in close to close out the game. The Lakers’ defence of Ty Cooper, Chelsae McCaig, Cassidy Marshall and Ailish Curran battled hard all game keeping the boys outside.

Schenkeveld (2+1), Brad Haslam (2), Rodney Thompson (1+2) and Edwards handled the Lumby offence. Warnes had two assists. “We are undefeated in the new year and are finally buying into a revamped more team-oriented style which thus far is resulting in more success.,” said Stars’ head coach Kevin Porteous “We’re still trying to find the right mix but are very optimistic about our chances of winning the playoff pennant. We may have dug too big of a hole for the regular season title but we have an outside shot at it.” The 9-3-2 Nedco Blazers, who are tied for top spot in the Midget Super league, jumped out to a 3-1 first-period lead in a 7-3 win over the Vernon Battery Seagulls Sunday at Wesbild Centre.

The VSS wrestling program is thriving after a strong medal haul at the Western Age Class competition last weekend in Kamloops and the earlier Kelowna Ogopogo Invititational. “Our team faced some fierce competition,” said VSS coach Rob Eggert, “and yet found a way to experience success on the podium.” Added assistant coach Brad Wyse: “We’re very pleased how they performed for their first exposure to tournament competition.” In Kelowna, the Panthers collected two gold medals – Samuel Eggert Grade 6 division and Dawson Thomas in 51 kg; six silvers - Joe Eggert Grade 5, Cody Bisson 48 kg, Neal Schindel 70 kg, Scott McKnight 51 kg, Greg Poggemoeller 60 kg, Keilen Hodgson 90 kg and two bronze – Lewis
McKnight Grade 5 and Mykenzee Ramunno 60 kg. The Panthers also recorded five fifth-place finishes – Jordan Wright 57 kg, Eric Foster 74 kg, Devon Weston 63 kg, Taylor Jameson 74 kg and Kyle Schindel 78 kg. VSS placed fifth out of 12 schools in the Ogopogo tournament. In Kamloops, Samuel Eggert earned silver, Foster placed fourth and Ramunno was sixth. The team is training for the Okanagan Zone championships, Feb. 12, in Kamloops. VSS coaches will run a wrestling camp for elementary students during the first week of spring break. Space is limited. Contact the Panthers head wrestling coach Rob Eggert (rleggert@hotmail.com) for more information.
earned game MVP. The semifinal was an epic battle, but the Scorpions ran out of gas in the last six minutes, giving up a 2-1 lead to the Kelowna Bruins for a 5-2 loss. Tom Wolgram played his best game of the season, while Banning (MVP with 1A) anticipated the plays well. All-star LewisHatherley (1+1) started the scoring for the Scorpions with a one-timer set up by Wagner (1+1) and Keryluke. The Lumby Stars, sponsored by Irly Bird Building Centers and Gudeit Bros. Contracting, went 2-1-1 in Summerland. The Stars lost 4-2 to the Bruins in their opener, getting goals by Kevin Fuller and Edwin Hayman. Keenan MacDonald earned game MVP. Lumby then iced the Vernon Corbett Office Supply Sharks 6-3 with Connor Fair (2+1), Logan Meier, MacDonald, Jayden Pedersen and Ashley Tinney supplying the offence. Connor Fair was MVP. The Stars then tied a Kelowna entry 1-1 with MacDonald scoring. Goalie Corey Tinney earned game MVP. On Sunday morning, the Stars rallied past Semiahmoo 6-2. MacDonald got the hat trick with MVP Kyle Beerstra, Ryan Fair and Pedersen picking up singles. The Denny’s Saints ran their first-place
North Okanagan Bantam Super League record to 13-1 with three weekend wins. Chris Gallant and Lucas Colgan each delivered 3+1 as the Saints outlasted the DCT Chambers Red Bulls 13-5 Friday night at Civic Arena. Nik Wasylyk added 2+1, while Layne Greene, with 1+2, Kristian Currie and Marcus Finn also scored. D-men Taylor Maxwell (3A) and Max Mitchell (2A) were solid playmakers. Russell Day provided 1+2 for the Bulls, who also got goals from Daniel Desjarlais, Danielle Butler and Connor Smidt. The Saints got 4+1 from game MVP Greene, who went coast to coast for two goals, in a 10-7 Saturday win over the Vernon Authentic Trophies & Plaques Hitmen at Wesbild Centre. Maxwell netted a pair, while Gallant, Colgan, Wasylyk and Cameron Sawdon rounded out the Saints’ attack. Brett Jewell bagged 3+2 for the Hitmen, while Dustin Schmor scored twice. Brenden Zupp had 1+3 and Tylor McMillan also scored. Liam Cromarty had three helpers. Mitchell Cousins racked up his first career hat trick while taking a rare turn on the wing as Denny’s crushed the last-place Chase Broncos 16-1 Sunday at Civic.

It was another clean sweep for the Vernon Ski Club K1 girls division at the TECK sponsored Sun Peaks Giant Slalom race last weekend. Amelia Smart took home three gold medals and won the overall weekend race points. Winning each of her Saturday races by close to one second, Smart put the hammer down on Sunday to win the combined time race by a huge margin of 3.53 seconds. Smart is the overall No. 1-ranked K1 girl in the Okanagan zone, which qualifies her for the K1 Western Championships at Silver Star Mountain Resort, Feb. 18-20. Smart will be joined by teammates Ravinder Vliet, the No. 1 Okanagan slalom skier, and Katie MacGillivray. Both girls also posted top-10 results at Sun Peaks with Vliet placing fifth and seventh, and MacGillivray earning an eighth and the two fourths she needed to qualify her for westerns. Despite most of the K2 team battling the flu all weekend, four K2 girls posted consistent top-10 finishes. Noemie Petit grabbed fifth place in all three races, Scout McWilliams an eighth and ninth, Siobhan Clancy a ninth and Lauren Armstrong a sixth and eighth. Armstrong also had the crash of the weekend. Sitting fifth after the first run on Sunday, Armstrong was charging the course to advance her position. Soft snow conditions caused her to loose a ski and sent her into a tumbling crash. With only hundredths of a second separating him from the medals all season, Alex Roehrig finally claimed his place on the podium. In both races on Saturday, Roehrig took fifth and sixth places respectively. In second place after the first run on Sunday, he was determined to stay in the running and laid down a clean second run to make it his day with his first K2 career bronze. Teammate Matt Kreutz took home three top-10 finishes. Hamish Dunlop also took his first K2 top10 of the season with a ninth Sunday. “With two Okanagan zone race series completed so far this season, the December slalom races has been our most successful so far,” said Vernon Ski Club program director John Armstrong. “I attribute some of this to the colder and firmer snow conditions that we trained slalom early season. Over the last few weeks there has been a lot of new snow and warmer than normal temperatures making the conditions too soft at times to safely train giant slalom. The Vernon Ski Club K2 team is now focusing their training toward Super G and downhill to prepare for their provincial series starting Feb. 10-13, in Whistler. The K1 team will be training at Silver Star in preparation for the K1 Westerns.

Toxic political exercise approached repeatedly after refusing to sign the Chong petition. He called it “abuse.” But apparently Chong’s central message is getting through: getting rid of her won’t get rid of the harmonized sales tax. In KamloopsNorth Thompson, Tom Fletcher where MLA Terry Lake is the strategic swingriding target, the NDPaffiliated organizer told Kamloops This Week he was concerned about recall canvassers being diverted to work on NDP leadership campaigns. Nope, nothing partisan there. As the U.S. pondered the role of angry, threatening rhetoric in politics, B.C.’s acting chief electoral officer Craig James was invited on CKNW radio to describe the hate mail he received after rejecting the first version of the Oak BayGordon Head petition for having too many words. (This delayed it for all of a week.) There were hundreds of e-mails to this mildmannered Legislature clerk, urged on by a typical screed sent out by Fight HST demanding his resignation. One of the milder missives wished James a slow death from cancer. More serious threats and death wishes prompted police to provide security. Fight HST ringmas-

ter Chris Delaney, along with the NDP-affiliated recall organizer for Oak Bay, downplayed this. Delaney suggested the timing was suspicious, as per his earlier baseless attacks on James’ impartiality. Vander Zalm also muttered about the government working with James and unspecified elements of the “big corporate media” to scuttle the recall. This is the latest vision to emerge from the Fight HST clown car of conspiracy theories. Previous scenarios featured Canada being taken over by the European Union, and the shopworn plot to impose world government in the name of global warming. Delaney continues his frantic efforts to

Liberals are forcing B.C. Hydro to undertake expensive repairs to dams and transmission facilities, not to expand or prevent further blackouts in downtown Vancouver, but to make B.C. Hydro go broke!

he rough beast of recall has slouched into Kamloops and Comox, carrying with it the rank smell of the failing effort in Oak Bay. Next up in this venomous venture is Vernon, starting on March 15, Fight HST maestro Bill Vander Zalm vowed last week. “More canvassers are signing up in Oak Bay-Gordon Head to help put recall over the top there,” Vander Zalm bragged in a news release describing a standing-room-only crowd in Vernon. “We had a terrific meeting in a snowy Kamloops last night with 45 canvassers to kick off that campaign, and now this! It’s faaaaantastic.” This is a change to Vander Zalm’s tune on the bid to muscle out Science and Universities Minister Ida Chong. The previous week he posted an open letter to supporters pleading for money and volunteers, while conceding that the cherry-picked swing constituency in suburban Victoria was still less than halfway to its goal, with time running out. Former Social Credit attorney general Brian Smith and former NDP premier Dan Miller both spoke out to denounce this anti-tax recall as inappropriate. Smith told me about Oak Bay residents being

(ORSEY SET DANCE TO LOCAL COUNTRY ARTIST Lee Dinwoodie returns to Winter Carnival after playing to English equestrian crowds KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Lee Dinwoodie isn’t accustomed to wearing a top hat and tails. The local entertainer is instead used to putting on his Stetson and well-worn boots to play his rockin’ country at dances throughout the province and beyond. However, this past year, Dinwoodie found himself in more refined pastures, where an English saddle is preferred over a western one. Invited to perform at the Bedgebury Park Equestrian Centre in Kent, just south of London, England this summer, Dinwoodie and his band played a country hoedown as part of a big equestrian event. “It’s very well established, and all the equestrian people there had a good time,� said Dinwoodie, who was invited back to the centre in December, where he donned the aforementioned top hat and tails for his part in a pantomime of A Christmas Carol. “I lit these lamps to open the show,� he said. “I felt like Forrest Gump out there. It was done to the nines. Everyone was on a horse in the show, except for Scrooge who was positioned on a bed in the middle of the field. I thought it was fun.� It turns out even royalty likes its country music as Dinwoodie learned after he performed a special show for Prince Albert of Monaco a few years ago at the Mike Wiegele Helicopter Skiing resort in Blue River. A regular performer at the B.C. heli-ski resort, Dinwoodie was invited to play at Bedgebury Park, which is owned by Canadian business woman Gabriella Atkinson, when a member heard his act there. And he’s been invited back to play at a

Back in his hometown of Vernon, Dinwoodie is getting ready to put on another barn burner during the 51st annual Vernon Winter Carnival. Dinwoodie’s first major gig was around
25 years ago when he played a Valentine’s dance in Peachland, and he’s no stranger to Winter Carnival, having played a sold-out dance at Paddlewheel Hall last year, and many others before then. “When I’m in town, I find myself playing a lot of community dances in places nearby.
That’s where I started, playing community dances, and I try to do more dances as my music is fitting for that.� A pretty fine two-stepper himself, Dinwoodie is just as happy playing a dance when not kicking up his heels with members of high society. He can be found in a community hall in places such as Falkland-Westwold when he’s not playing corporate gigs in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. “I did one at the Empress Hotel in Victoria. I was the cowboy who stepped into the Crystal Ballroom,� he laughed. “I think my career has stayed the way it has is because it is diversified. I play from acoustic shows to ones with a six-piece band. I’ve managed to survive in this business because I am open to different markets. I think a working person relates to my music as much as anyone else because you can dance to it. And if you’re not dancing, you wanna dance.� And he’s no stranger to performing overseas. Dinwoodie has seen his music appear on the European country music charts, and he’s played some major music festivals, including the biggest of them all, the Country RendezVous in de Craponne sur Arzon, France, and he’s been asked to return to perform at the festival this summer. Although it’s been eight years since he recorded his last professional CD, Rewind, Dinwoodie is also not adverse to getting back to the studio, and says he hopes to fly to Nashville in the next while to work with producer Dean Dillon. “I hope to speed up the procedure, but I’m very picky,� he said. “I would like to do some of the production on it, and I think it will happen when it’s supposed to happen.� Sponsored by Kiss FM, Dinwoodie and his band perform the Country Stomp at Vernon’s Army Navy Air Force Hangar, 2500-46th Ave., Feb. 4. Doors open at 8 p.m. and tickets are $20, available at the Winter Carnival office. Call 250-545-2236, or order online at www. vernonwintercarnival.com.
7INTER #ARNIVAL "LUES &ESTIVAL BACK FOR A SECOND YEAR Morning Star Staff
Blues lovers should clear their calendars for the second Saturday of February when last year’s proclaimed “best adult event� of Vernon Winter Carnival returns for a second year. Back Door Blues and Kiss FM’s Winter Carnival Blues Festival takes place at the Vernon Recreation
Centre Feb. 12 and promises to be bigger than last year. With help from partner Lindsay Wong, Back Door Blues’ Cat Wells has added more vendors to this year’s mini festival to include five food stations. “There are more dining choices and several artisans to add to the
festival atmosphere. The lineup of talent is second to none,� said Wells. Artists include veteran blues man Harpdog Brown and the Blood Hounds from Edmonton, Vancouver’s Jason Buie Band, as well as local acts Ranger Kaine (formerly the Blues Gurus) with their newly released CD, Wells and her Red Hot
Voodoo Daddies and newcomers Crossfire from Lumby. “The Vernon Rec Centre auditorium is an amazing venue for this type of show as it has plenty of space for dancing and there was a lot of that going on last year,� said Wells. Tickets for the festival are $25 for all five acts. Doors open at 6 p.m.
and the music begins at 6:45 p.m. and goes until 11 p.m. Tickets are available now at the Vernon Winter Carnival office, the East Side Liquor Co. and Juiced Up in the Shops at Polson Park, or reserve them online at www.vernonwintercarnival.com or over the phone at 250-545-2236.

When UBC Okanagan’s visiting authors committee assembled their wish list and started the paperwork, landing a writer short-listed for the Man Booker Prize wasn’t even on the radar. Members, like professor Nancy Holmes and assistant professor Michael V. Smith, knew they loved Irish author Emma Donoghue’s work, and that she lives with her family in Canada, but she hadn’t yet sealed her status among the dozen must-meet authors of the year. “We didn’t know Room would become such a hit,” said Holmes. “We all just really liked Emma Donoghue.” One year later, as she heads to UBCO for a highly anticipated engagement next month, Donoghue is one of the biggest authors on the literary scene. She was the youngest person nominated for the Man Booker in 2010, which eventually went to Howard Jacobson for The Finkler Question. Her latest novel has, nonetheless, achieved universal acclaim. Room is written from the perspective of a five-year-old boy who has never seen the world outside his household confines. With a touch of horror, terror and philosophical overtone, it’s both impossible to pin down or put down for readers and critics alike. “My main concern was to avoid the true crime genre,” Donoghue told The Economist in an interview which describes the novel’s key idea as hearing a horrific tale from a child’s perspective. The result is a work of art that leaves one wondering how one person’s imagination could conjure such a tale. Thankfully, local fans won’t have to wait long to ask. Donoghue is scheduled to give a free public reading as part of UBCO’s Visiting

Award-winning authors Emma Donoghue, left, and Annabel Lyon are part of UBC Okanagan’s Visiting Authors Series. Authors Series Feb. 3 at 7 p.m. at the Kelowna library, located at 1380 Ellis St. “I think we all genuinely want to contribute to the artistic life in the community and we feel we can do it this way,” said Holmes. Donoghue is not the only big name UBCO has landed this season. This year’s writer in residence is Annabel Lyon, who spends March 6 to 20 at the school. Lyon’s latest book, The Golden Mean, was nominated for the Scotiabank Giller Prize and the Governor General’s Award in 2009, and won the 2009 Rogers Writers Trust Award. UBCO’s writer in residence program is an incredible opportunity for the community, as well as the school, as each author offers sessions where local writers can have their work read and critiqued. “People just love it. They get an intimate one-on-one meeting and she’s already read their work,” said Holmes. Information on Lyon’s activities and how to book a session is on UBCO’s website under Creative and Critical Studies. Writers can contact irma.ronkkonen@ubc.ca to submit their work by Jan. 31. Only 16 will be selected for a critique. Lyon will teach a

dating with an actual personality. So, for the most part, we’re left with Rogen and Chou, sharing inane chatter with such juvenile zeal, I had to look over the credits twice just to make certain that Judd Apatow or Adam Sandler didn’t have a hand in this somewhere. Iron Man, Spider Man and a handful of others have demonstrated that you can have a movie in which your hero throws some weight around, yet finds opportunities to be funny. It just can’t be overdosed on dumb. But then, perhaps that’s how this team wanted it.

when used in the creative manner utilized here –– producer Tom Lord-Alge keeps the sounds sharp. Koley’s songs are based on bouncy keyboards and crisp beats, but her voice is clearly the star of this show. The background vocals with Deschambault are used as light textures that sit in place in an interesting mix. Inventions is smart and exuberant pop music that serves as a perfect vehicle for Koley’s attention-grabbing voice. Mary the Inventor backs that trend with
an ambitious focus that flirts heavily with an artrock story line, as does Go. They’re heavy on mid-tempo delivery and they shine vocally. There are moments when the album seems to fall close to onedimensional convention, due to a bright sound, but Inventions is not of the raw, gritty school of recording. It’s a lyrical record and has an unmistakable uplift from that source.

ear Annie: I am a 36-year-old husband and father, married for four years. Two years ago, I caught my wife cheating on me. I was willing to forgive her for the sake of our children. But lately, our marriage seems to have fallen into that dark alley again. My wife is always on Facebook or buried in her cell phone, texting. She won’t tell me with whom. Every time I dare peek at what she is doing, she goes immediately on the defensive. I confronted her about how shady she has been, and she assures me it’s nothing to be concerned about. Well, time, aggravation and arguments have turned me into someone I don’t like. I logged into her Facebook account and checked out her private messages. I discovered she’s been talking to some guy behind my back. It’s not an affair, but there is definite flirting. I haven’t told her what I know. Was I wrong to snoop? Help. — Distrustful

of mothballs. When we told her to take the coat to the cleaners, she was shocked. She said she thought the smell of mothballs showed people you were well off enough to be able to take care of your woolens. She told us she always stuck a few mothballs in her pockets in winter so she could be proud of her clean scent. When we explained that this was not the case, she was so glad we told her. Soon after I married, I noticed that my mother-in-law had a strong underarm odor.
I begged my husband to tell her, but he wouldn’t. When she later got a part-time job, her boss took her aside. She called me, crying, and demanded to know why we hadn’t said anything. It took a long time for her to forgive us for failing her. People should be told the truth before they are embarrassed and humiliated in public. — California

Women invited to sign up for wisdom and healing Morning Star Staff
Women’s Wisdom/ Women’s Healing is a course designed to encourage women of all ages to look beyond the physical realities of their lives, into the spiritual and metaphysical, to be more open to transcending the challenges and difficulties of life. L o n g t i m e Armstrong resident Dorian Kohl will offer the course starting next month, combining meditation, the gentle stretches of Hatha yoga, singing sacred wisdom songs and deep relaxation. “Wether our challenges occur through illness, loss, stress or fear, we can look towards improving ourselves and our state of consciousness through dedication of some sacred/self-care time each day,” said Kohl. Kohl has found that women respond to this course both on an individual and collective basis. “Many women express to me that they

More than 1/3 of the Canadian population will suffer from depression annually, and during stressful times this will increase. During or just after the holidays, feelings of depression can intensify. Holiday depression can be brought on by many factors including unrealistic goals, added financial stress, family expectations, change of schedule and eating patterns. The cure may not be as difficult as you might think. Actually, just a few basic lifestyle changes can help you break free from the trap of depression. Neil Nedley, MD has put together an eight-week Depression Recovery Program from his more than 15 years of experience helping his patients. This program teaches how to improve brain function, increase energy, boost concentration, engage in healthy sleep habits, improve physical performance and gain renewed hope. Those who attend all eight sessions
will learn how to establish and maintain a strong exercise program, understand depression and eliminate negative habits of body and mind, develop healthy eating patterns and get more out of the day by enhancing brain function. Sarah, a past-participant, found the program helpful. “If you are feeling tired all the time, feeling empty and worthless, it is time for change,” she said. “This program is not a magic pill cure because life is full of new hurdles and new obstacles. You are given a set of tools and guidelines to look after yourself properly and keep you on track.” Participants will spend less time frustrated by stress, say goodbye to negative thinking and understand the true power of positive thinking. Learn to choose foods to boost your moods. Learn to take time out for mindful relaxation and learn the importance of getting enough sunlight. “It works — you feel so much better,” said Sarah. “Then you fall off

Do you know someone who has played a significant role in tobacco reduction? The Interior Health Authority would like you to consider nominating them for a Smoke Free Champions for Change Award. The awards honour people who have made a difference in the lives of others by promoting smoke-free spaces, helping people quit smoking and preventing people from starting to smoke. “A Smoke Free Champion for Change is someone who goes beyond their regular everyday work to reduce tobacco use and its harmful effects in their community,” says Trish Hill, senior tobacco reduction coordinator. “Champions show leadership and commitment, and their work often plays an important role in influencing people to change their use of tobacco.” Nominations close April 30. The Smoke Free Champions for Change awards are open to both IHA staff and
community members. “These awards are not only about recognizing the great work that is being done to promote tobacco reduction,” said Hill. “They are also about sharing ideas and inspiring others to take action.” Nomination forms are available at www. interiorhealth.ca/nominate.aspx. Forms can be submitted online, by fax to 250-505-7211 or by mail to Smoke Free Champions for Change, Nelson Health Unit, 2nd Floor, 333 Victoria St., Nelson B.C., V1L 4K3. Six champions will be announced and awarded $50 gift certificates May 31. Those who nominated the selected champions will also be eligible for a prize.

Passenger levels reach new heights at Kelowna airport Morning Star Staff
Activity soared at the Kelowna International Airport during 2010. There were 1,391,725, passengers last year, a 1.76 per cent increase over 2009 and 0.13 per cent ahead of the record-setting number
in 2008. “It was our goal in 2010 to reach the passenger levels of 2008,” said director Sam Samaddar. “I am very pleased to announce we achieved this, and in fact YLW had three all-time record-breaking months.”
July and December saw new monthly records, with 122,965 and 126,513 passengers respectively. August became the busiest month in YLW’s history with 131,914 passengers – an increase of more than two per cent above of the previous record month of March 2008.
At a time when many airports saw a decline in air service, YLW was able to maintain its current service levels including non-stop service by WestJet and Air Canada to Canada’s largest airport Toronto Pearson International.
WANT TO RECYCLE YOUR UNWANTED ELECTRONICS? Here’s where you can recycle them safely and free of charge in Armstrong and Vernon:
Armstrong Bottle Depot 3730 Pleasant Valley Boulevard, Armstrong (250) 546-2466
Interior Freight & Bottle Depot 4205 – 24th Avenue, Vernon (250) 545-5706
WHAT IS THE ELECTRONICS STEWARDSHIP ASSOCIATION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (ESABC) PROGRAM? ESABC is a not-for-profit extended producer responsibility program set up by the producers and retailers of electronics in British Columbia to provide a province wide recycling system for unwanted electronics.
WHAT ARE THE ACCEPTABLE ELECTRONIC ITEMS INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAM? Effective July 1, 2010, the following items can be recycled free of charge at any Encorp Return-It Electronics™ Collection Site: display devices, desktop computers, portable computers, computer peripherals, computer scanners, printers and fax machines, non-cellular phones and answering machines, vehicle audio and video systems (aftermarket), home audio and video systems, and personal or portable audio and video systems.
Venture Training Centre 4240 Alexis Park Drive, Vernon (250) 542-2374
ISN’T IT IMPORTANT TO REUSE BEFORE RECYCLING? While the program is designed to manage unwanted electronic products that have exhausted their reuse potential, we strongly encourage users to first reuse their products. If you choose to donate to a charity, make sure you have backed up your data and wiped your drives clean prior to donation.
HOW ARE ELECTRONICS RECYCLED? Electronics collected for recycling are sent to approved primary recyclers in North America. They are broken down using various manual and mechanical processes. Products are separated into their individual components for recovery. Through a variety of refining and smelting processes, the materials reclaimed from unwanted electronics are used as raw materials in the manufacturing of new products.

Shuswap doctors express CT-scan waitlist frustration BARB BROUWER Black Press
Patients in need of CT scans are still being forced to travel out of town, as Interior Health is funding far fewer scans at Shuswap Lake General than at other hospitals in the region. And although Interior Health promises the situation will be remedied as soon as possible, local doctors are frustrated by the resulting long waitlists – three months for urgent cases – particularly in view of the fact area residents coughed up $1.5 million in one year for the equipment and the hospital foundation produced another $500,000 to help with operating costs. “We have been very clear, we have the CT scanner but service goals have not been met,� says Dr. Scott McKee, Shuswap Lake General Hospital chief of medical staff, of past discussions with Interior Health. “This is our community-born and fundraised scanner and they’re not getting it (the service) here,� he says, noting Salmon Arm’s doctors are frustrated with having to send patients with urgent needs elsewhere. Local radiologist Dr. Kevin Beckner says he has been working closely with IH to ensure Shuswap Lake General Hospital’s CT scan service gets equitable funding. “For reasons that are not entirely clear, our site has the lowest quota in this region compared to other sites based on catchment area population,� he says. “For this reason, and because 24/7 CT is not being offered, patients are having to go elsewhere to have exams done. These include outpatient exams and, in the case of emergency and inpatient exams when our CT is not operational after hours.� Beckner says that while the introduction of 24/7 service April 1 will address some of the issue, it does not address the inequitable
quota levels. Shuswap Lake General Hospital is only
authorized to perform seven non-emergency CT scans per day
between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Also equipped with
one CT scanner, Vernon Jubilee Hospital performs 37 scheduled
scans per day between the hours of 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. Monday
through Friday and 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Rule changes rile NDP TOM FLETCHER Black Press
A $15,000 entry fee and strict rules for sharing donations in the B.C. NDP leadership contest have caught some candidates by surprise. The party executive released a major overhaul of its rules and they include a spending limit of $175,000 and a provision that all candidates must split their donations 50-50 with the provincial head office. Fraser-Nicola MLA Harry Lali reacted with fury to the new rules, calling them “ridiculous” and comparing them to the Republican Party in the U.S. where only millionaires need apply. The 2003 contest that selected Carole James as leader had only a $2,500 entry fee, and the decision to “skim 50 per cent right off the top” means candidates must raise $350,000 to reach the limit, Lali said. B.C. NDP provincial secretary Jan O’Brien said the party executive decided the leadership contest must be selffinancing, and the new one-member, one-vote process means substantial new costs. A phone and electronic voting system must be used, and the party is also staging a series of regional leadership forums before the April 17 vote.

Pilot program aims to close â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no-experienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; gap Morning Star Staff
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an age-old cycle: you need experience to get the job, but you need the job to get the experience. Now, thanks to the new $3-million Youth Skills BC (YSBC) Workplace Pilot Program, this gap will close for many B.C. youth, providing them with the opportunity to gain experience and new skills in the workplace and opening doors to rewarding careers and good wages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the biggest challenges youth will face in the coming decades is acquiring skills that will move them forward in their careers,â&#x20AC;? said Regional Economic and Skills Development Minister Ida Chong. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This program will help address that issue so youth can gain the experience and skills, while theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re employed, that are needed to succeed in the workplace now and in the future.â&#x20AC;? Funded under the Canada/BC Labour Market Agreement, the 16-month, workplace-based pilot will help approximately 650 youth, enhancing employability by improving their existing skills and helping them gain new ones through practical experience and training. Employers will be able to hire up to three participants, and can receive up to $2,000 per participant to off-set the costs of providing these youth with onthe-job training. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our government is pleased to partner with the government of B.C. to help prepare Canadian youth to succeed in Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s labour market through programs like Youth Skills BC,â&#x20AC;? said Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development. British Columbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future economy will need a highly skilled workforce, and YSBC is helping meet that challenge. In addition to employer support for hiring and on-thejob training, the pilot program can help employers develop a training plan for each
participant and funding assistance to pay for the supplemental train-
ing identified in these plans. The program will
be open to participants and employers across the province and will
be administered by Bowman Employment Services Inc.
Additional details about the program are available at www.bow-
manemployment.com/ ysbc or call toll-free at 1 877 866-3100.

Activity Horoscope BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL There are indications that you will see some improvements in your earning abilities in the next solar cycle. However, even if this becomes a reality, it won’t count for much if you spend it as quickly as it comes in.
PUZZLE NO. 203
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Forbidden fruit could be extremely appealing to you, so you might need to be more careful than usual. Don’t unwittingly step out of line and tread on the heartstrings of a loved one.
ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 203
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) For some reason, it might be far easier than usual to make promises that you aren’t likely to keep. Be careful with the commitments you make.
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. 100403

ARIES (March 21-April 19) When out on the town, don’t pretend to be anything but what and who you are. Affectations might impress you, but will do absolutely nothing for your image or personality. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Due to the fact that you have blown totally out of proportion who and what another person is, you could be in for a great disappointment when you come face to face with the truth. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) If you are a bit flirtatious, you could unwittingly flash some signals to the wrong person. Be extremely careful on whom you cast that roving, playful eye. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Although usually you’re a very good bargain hunter, today you are likely to purchase something in hopes of impressing others. This kind of extravagance isn’t worth the consequences for your credit. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Should a very clever manipulator pick up on the fact that you’re susceptible to flattery today, this person will know exactly how to pull your strings. Don’t be a puppet. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Don’t expect the response you’re hoping for from someone you’re trying to impress, if your generous gesture has strings attached. Give without reservations.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) It’s important to acknowledge the wonderful achievements of another, but only if you are sincere. It will be a waste of time to flatter the undeserving, because insincerity will quickly be discerned. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Keep your hopes in proportion to your efforts, and solid satisfaction is possible. However, it’s doubtful that this will be possible if you’re not inclined to push yourself. No burn, no earn. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Sometimes no matter how hard we try, there always seems to be one or two people who are impossible to please. If one poor responder is a close associate, you might want to rethink your friendship. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) The world never gives us a free ride, even if you’re inclined to think so. Disappointment is extremely likely if you expect more than you rightly deserve.
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.

1-740 Waddington Dr. Vernon
Bridge by Phillip Alder Joe Martin, in his “Mr. Boffo” cartoon, wrote, “If it weren’t for my lawyer, I’d still be in prison. It went a lot faster with two people digging.” In today’s deal, dig deeply at trick one to decide which tunnel to take to win 10 tricks. West leads the diamond jack against four hearts. What would you do? North was right to respond three hearts, a game-invitational limit raise. If he had bid one spade, when he later supported hearts, it would have shown only threecard support. When you have four-card support, immediately raise partner’s major. It will be the wrong strain only once every few years.
You have four potential losers: one in each suit. And if you lead a trump after taking the first trick, you should surrender those tricks, East returning a diamond at trick three. Instead, you must arrange a discard for that diamond loser. At trick two, play a club. Then you can discard a diamond from the dummy on your third club and ruff your third diamond in the dummy. As easy as that sounds, you still have to be careful. If West is sneaky, ducking the first round of clubs, taking the second, and returning a diamond, you had better be winning that trick in your hand, so you can cash the long club. This means you must
take the first trick with dummy’s ace. Then lead the club king, the honor from the shorter side first. If you found this deal easy, you are a strong player. This theme catches out inexperienced players almost all the time. That desire to draw trumps is so strong.
Thank you for 12 years of support - and your patience during our renovations and expansion. We look forward to serving you even better in the new year!

Remembering my Dad,
William T. Lewis Happy Birthday Dad, for 77 years the anniversary of your birth was celebrated by us all on this day January 21st. Although your physical body is no longer here I think, feel and remember you everyday. I choose to remember the many fine years you lived your life in a strong body, mind and spirit. I now have only visual images to remember you by and feel only a profound sense of gratitude when I see you. In pictures and video I marvel at your sense of humour, fun and dedication to Ethan, Luke and Rowyn and to myself. But most of all I am humbled by the great fun adventure you had with Mom throughout your marriage. The struggle for you at the end of your journey here was grounded in your desire to stay…I know. But, I know you are now not bound by the constraints of the human body but free in the expanse of the universe. A place those of us left here cannot even begin to imagine….remember us as we remember you….in love. Your daughter, Addie.
Until there's a cure, there's us.

I Am With You Still
I give you this one thought to keep I am with you still – do not weep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn’s rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled Àight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not think of me as gone – I am with you still – in each new dawn. Funeral arrangements have been made with BETHEL FUNERAL CHAPEL LTD., 5605 27th Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 8Z5 (250) 542-1187
