Vernon RCMP are on the hunt for an armed robber who hit a service station Saturday night. Police were called to the 27th Street Husky in the 4500-block of 27th Street shortly before 10 p.m. after a clerk reported a lone man had entered the store, produced a weapon and demanded cash from the till. “He took off with the insert from the till which was recovered a short time later by our police service dog team,” said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk, who would not disclose what type of weapon was produced by the robber as the matter remains under investigation. The suspect made off with an undisclosed amount of cash after fleeing the premises on foot. The clerk was not injured in the incident. The suspect is described as a Caucasian man, about fivefoot-eight with a deep voice and athletic build. He was wearing runners, blue jeans and a white-greyblack checkered-pattern, zip-up hoodie. The hood was pulled up and the man was wearing a ski mask. Anybody with any information on the robbery is asked to call the Vernon RCMP at 250545-7171, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Growing uncertainty in Egypt has forced a Vernon resident to abandon his dream vacation. Dan Martel, a 56-year-old developer, is expected home today after fleeing Cairo because of the growing protest against President Hosni Mubark. “We had been nagging him to go on a trip and he finally booked one,” said daughter Leah Riley. Martel had left the Okanagan Friday and by the time he arrived in Cairo, his scheduled tour had been cancelled because of the civil unrest. He had to remain in the Dan Martel airport until an evacuation flight was organized by the Canadian government. “We hadn’t heard anything from him since Friday,” said daughter Christie Martel. “The only way we knew he was OK was because we saw him standing in front of a plane on CBC.” The sisters contacted the Canadian embassy in an attempt to find out about their father. “We were wanting answers and to hear things,” said Riley. Martel phoned home early Tuesday morning to say he was in Frankfurt, Germany. “He sounded really good on the phone,” said Riley. “It’s been a long few days for him.” While the conversation was brief, Martel described some of the tension underway in Cairo. “There were guns pointed at him and fighter planes overhead,” said Christie, who was thankful for the phone call. “It’s been very stressful waiting to hear from him.”
Politicians uneasy over possible raise RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Higher salaries aren’t going over well with some North Okanagan Regional District politicians. A citizens’ committee is recommending today that pay for the board chairperson and vice-chairperson climb five per cent each, and base pay for directors increase two per cent after the November elections. “Times are tough and we’re all struggling. I’m not in particular favour of increases at this time,” said Rick Fairbairn, rural Lumby director and vice-chairperson. “It’s basically the cost of living but in these times, it’s not critical that we make these adjustments. We’re asking staff to toe
the line and I’m prepared to do the same.” Presently, the chairperson earns $1,215 a month while the vice-chairperson receives $134 monthly. Annual remuneration for electoral area directors is $18,000 and $11,448 for municipal directors. “We must recognize the economic times we’re in and not take increases,” said Wayne Lippert, Vernon director. “In Vernon, we did not take increases because of the challenges facing everyone. It’s not the right thing to be doing at this time.” Will Hansma, Spallumcheen director, questions why the chairperson and vicechairperson would be treated differently
from the rest of the board. “I don’t think the five per cent is necessary,” he said. “They should be paid the same as the other increases. Two per cent is sufficient because it’s the cost of living.” Besides remuneration, the citizens’ committee is recommending meeting pay increase two per cent and that travel pay climb two per cent for electoral area directors. Herman Halvorson, board chairperson, isn’t concerned about increasing compensation overall. “Inflation takes care of a lot of things and this will address some of the issues with inflation,” he said. He also believes that it’s important that any increases not take effect until after elec-
tions. “Everyone that runs will know what they are getting into financially for three years.” The three members of the citizens’ committee were Dave Hopkins, Sherry Price and Andrew Stanton. “Our intention was to reflect the depth and breadth of functions performed by the board members on behalf of their jurisdictions and the whole region,” they state in a memo. “Our objective was to produce equality at board meetings and as well, reward electoral area directors for their additional responsibilities to area citizens. Municipal directors are rewarded for the latter component by their municipality.”

News Carnival serves up full menu of events RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A veritable smorgasbord of fun is ready to spice up the winter blues. Cooking with Carnival heats up Friday, with 100 events planned until Feb. 13. “We want this to be the biggest and best Carnival ever,� said Dave Fletcher, Vernon Winter Carnival chairperson. “Everyone looks forward to it. It has deep roots and it’s an exciting time for the community. It’s a chance to break out from winter.� Activities begin Thursday with the proclamation of Queen Silver Star at 7 p.m. at the Performing Arts Centre. On Friday, Queen Silver Star will be crowned at Polson Park at 5 p.m., with the Hot Air Balloon Glow set for 6 p.m. Between 12 and 15 hot air balloons are scheduled to take part in the 19th annual Balloon Fiesta from Friday to Sunday. “It’s really the opening act to Carnival,� said Fletcher, adding that residents enjoy watching the gentle giants float over the community. Other events Friday include Suds n’ Cider, the Classic Rock Cafe, the Lantern Ski and the Cookin’ Country Dance. Always popular is the parade, which starts at noon Saturday on 27th Street, by W.L. Seaton Secondary, and runs through downtown. Huge crowds are expected. “We are motivating everyone to decorate their floats and cars. We’re looking to improve the parade this year,� said Fletcher. Planning for Carnival has been underway for several months, and Fletcher is pleased with the progress that’s been made. “Everything is looking excellent,� he said. “The volunteers are awesome and they’ve got everything well in hand.� One of the goals is to return Carnival to its roots. “We will have more family-driven events, events that you can take your entire family to

Vernon Winter Carnival heats up Friday with the balloon glow, following Thursday’s Queen Silver Star proclamation, then the parade gets underway Saturday at noon, followed by a number of Cooking With Carnival themed events and have fun,� said Fletcher. Among them will be Toonie and a Tin at Wesbild Centre Feb. 13 from 10:45 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. Participants can skate with the Vernon Vipers, while there will be children’s activities and family movies. Admission is a toonie and a tin of food for the food bank. While many of the events are free, others require tickets and about half of the paid events are sold out. “There are tickets left for some events but it’s getting close to the gun,� said Fletcher.
“That tells me people really want to support Carnival.� According to Fletcher, there has been considerable enthusiasm around the cooking theme. “Everyone has bit off on the concept,� he said. “A lot of restaurants have specials based on Carnival and during the parade, we will see lots of chef hats and aprons.� For more information about events, go to www.vernonwintercarnival.com.
No charges in downtown stabbings ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
It was an argument or misunderstanding that led to a pair of men being stabbed in Vernon’s downtown core Jan. 23. And while two people were arrested in connection with the stabbings, which led to the two victims being hospitalized, no charges will be laid in the incident.
“After consultation with Crown counsel, no charges are going to be laid,� said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “Because of circumstances that came forth in this particular investigation, they do not believe there is a likelihood of conviction.� Molendyk said not much further would be released in regards to the incidents, other than it involved
three people and that it was either an argument or some kind of misunderstanding. Police were called to the 2900 block of 29th Street shortly before 8 p.m. Jan. 23. Their investigation revealed that two men had been stabbed and taken to hospital. One, man, 41, was released from hospital and subsequently arrested by police.

Fundraiser sets record CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
The eighth annual Investors Group Walk for Memories set a new record. Almost $50,000 was raised for Alzheimer disease programs and services at the walk, which had about 300 people taking part in the walk and skate at Wesbild Centre Sunday. “This is an amazing record for us,” said event organizer Janice Mori. “Having the entertainment gives everyone a little lift as they walk. We see a lot of familiar faces over the years and we always see a new group of people who have had somebody in the family diagnosed recently and they are just starting this new journey.”’ The walk honoured Margery Wilde, who suffered from the disease and died in 2009. “It was a great day,” said Nancy Wilde, Margery’s daughter. “It was so touching to see so many people out. This just gets bigger every year.” Wilde was joined by a number of family members, her sister from Prince Rupert, her aunt from Colorado, cousins from Trail and Vancouver, and Margery’s granddaughters. Thanks to the fundraiser, there are two new programs for Alzheimer disease early intervention available in the area. They are First Link and Minds in Motion. “We want to thank our wonderful group of volunteers, some new and others returning, and Nancy for her hard work in the pre-event fundraisers,” said Mori. Next year’s Investors Group Walk for Memories takes place Jan. 29, 2012. For more information about the Alzheimer Society of B.C. and its programs call 1-800-634-3399 or go to www.alzheimerbc. org.

Chase leads to recovery of stolen truck Failing to stop at a stop sign was only the beginning of problems for two men Saturday morning. Members of the Vernon RCMP’s downtown enforcement unit were patrolling the area of Bella Vista Road and Agnew Road at around 12:30 a.m. when they noticed a white Ford F350 pickup fail to stop at a stop sign.
“Two men were located a short distance away.” — Gord Molendyk “Our officers checked the licence plate and found the truck had been reported stolen out of Kelowna the evening of Jan. 28,” said Vernon RCMP spokes-
person Gord Molendyk. Officers attempted to stop the truck, which took off at a high rate of speed into a cul-desac, turned around and sped past the officers
Fires keep Enderby crews busy RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Enderby firefighters didn’t get much of a chance to relax on the weekend. The volunteer crew was called out twice — once on Friday and once on Saturday — to reports of structure fires. “They did really well, We had a good turnout,” said Gerard Doorn, fire chief. The first incident occurred at about 11:30 p.m. Friday in a second floor storage room in the 600 block of Cliff View Street. “We contained the fire to the upper level but there was water and smoke damage to the bottom level,” said Doorn. The main floor is occupied by Little City Fashions. The Cliff View Street blaze is still under investigation. “We’re not sure what caused it yet,” said Dan Doran, deputy chief.
Bylaw process starts Morning Star Staff
As of Tuesday, Vernon joined with eight other municipalities to move the resolution of bylaw ticket disputes for minor infractions out of the court system and into an independent adjudication process. The new system will provide residents with flexible options to pay and a new process to dispute these bylaw offence notices. Visit www.vernon.ca/bylaws for more information on the new process. The partnership includes Kelowna, Vernon Penticton, West Kelowna, Lake Country, Peachland, Summerland, Oliver, and the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen.
The second fire occurred Saturday at about 3:17 p.m. in a garage in the 300 block of Old Salmon Arm Road. “Once inside, firefighters observed equipment and activity relayed to a grow-op,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. Police officers were called to the scene and 974 marijuana plants were located inside the garage, as was a hydro bypass. Marijuana plants were also located in a house on the property, while a hydro bypass was discovered at a second adjacent residence. No arrests have been made, and no charges have been laid. “Our members are still continuing to work on the file,” said Molendyk. Firefighters experienced some challenges accessing the Old Salmon Arm Road site. “The garage was on a hillside so it was tough to get equipment in there,” said Doorn. “It was steep so we had to take everything in by hand.”

Hitting the ice paid off for Vernon’s Teri Schiman. Schiman, 37, who had very little curling experience, threw a curling stone live on national television Sunday for a $1 million prize at the Capital One Million Dollar Button in Oshawa, Ont. The rock slid into the eight-foot rings, winning her $25,000. “I thought I was really light,” said Schiman, who dropped to her knees on the ice and screamed at the rock as fans at the General Motors Centre — including her husband and two sons — yelled with her. Schiman showed anguish as the stone finished its slow, steady path “This wasn’t like playing a lottery,” said a tearful Schiman. “I got to do something, something that is actually fun.” Schiman did it three times in total, in two different provinces. Selected by random contest entry during the Swiss Chalet National in Vernon in December, Schiman appeared on the championship ice surface at the Wesbild Centre and drew a stone to the back of the rings to win the trip to Oshawa. On Saturday, during the semifinals of the BDO Canadian Open in Oshawa, she outscored five other finalists and covered a portion of the button to advance to Sunday’s finale. Schiman didn’t have to throw a rock for the $1 million. She could have thrown for the lesser prize of $100,000 but with the help of two star competitors from the BDO Canadian Open championship final. “I decided about two minutes before I came out to the ice,” said Schiman. “My husband said ‘Go for it,’ and that’s when I knew what to choose.” Schiman, who runs a daycare centre, is thrilled with the $25,000 win. “I look at this big cheque and that’s two years of my salary,” she said.

elebrations and tragedies have a way of pulling small towns together like a family. But nothing’s uglier than a fight among loved ones or a close-knit community. There’s no question personal relationships are being strained as Lumby debates a potential bid for a correctional facility. I have heard of individuals who oppose a prison being given the cold shoulder by people they thought were friends. In another case, an impromptu chat on the street evolved into shouting. “My first thought when heading downtown these days is what or who am I going to run into today and what kind of response am I going to get? It is so different. It is really very sad,” said one Richard Rolke resident. But the growing hostility hasn’t just been one-sided. A group of residents who favour pursuing a jail is reluctant to come forward publicly. “Because of the ugly nature and tone some of the people from the no camp have taken, and the desire to let people speak for themselves, the organizers wish to remain anonymous,” they stated in an e-mail. Navigating the rapids has become challenging for organizations that attempt to represent the broad-based community. “The chamber recognizes that this issue is quite controversial and our chamber’s mandate is to represent the concerns of all of our members through an equal and democratic process,” said Bill Maltman, president of the Lumby Chamber of Commerce, which has had presentations from both sides before it attempts to form an official position on a correctional centre. Rumours run rampant, particularly when it comes to the actions of village council. Motives

on all sides are being questioned. Now none of this is shocking in a small town. After all, there’s always a good chance you will run into the powers-that-be shopping, over a beer at the legion or tossing rocks at the curling rink. It’s not unusual to find people on both sides of an issue sitting next to each other at church, belonging to the same service club or having kids in class together. They may do business with each other and in some cases, they may even be part of the same family. Everything is up-close and personal in a small town. But despite the differences of opinion, both sides share a passion for their community. It’s based on the investment that comes from raising a family, running a business or volunteering. If there wasn’t a sense of pride, the debate wouldn’t be as intense as it is. Both groups want what’s best for Lumby, they just can’t agree on how to get there. While some may be quick to predict a deep rift in Lumby, I remain optimistic about the future. Obviously some relationships may never completely heal, but most of the friendships and common interests will survive. The Lions will prepare the campground for another season, planning will begin for Lumby Days, parents will organize fundraisers at the schools and residents from all walks-of-life will attempt to find ways to reinvigorate the economy. The things that make Lumby “simply the best” outweigh any one issue. And once again, small towns are just like families. Siblings may squabble or you may not see eye-to-eye with your parents or spouse. But when push gets to shove, there is far more that ties us together than separates us. Family is family.
It would be easy for North Okanagan Regional District politicians to simply look at their own circumstances when considering remuneration. However, there appears to be some recognition that all is not well with those who would pick up the cost of any increased tab — the residents and businesses of the area. “Times are tough and we’re all struggling,” said Rick Fairbairn, rural Lumby director, referring to the ongoing impact of the recession. A three-person citizens’ committee is recommending base pay for directors, as well as meeting pay, climb two per cent. It doesn’t sound like much and it could be brushed aside as just the cost of living, but how many residents are seeing their salaries climb two per cent this year? In some cases, job loss has forced them on to social assistance and those cheques aren’t increasing two per cent. Demand is up at food banks. Many of the electoral areas depend on the resource sector economically and we all know what’s happened with forestry. Small-scale farmers have been rocked by provincial meat processing rules. They haven’t got the cash to be paying politicians more, and certainly not the five per cent increase being recommended for the NORD chairperson and vice-chairperson. Obviously there is a cost to running government and elected officials should be compensated fairly. After all, private lives and careers are interrupted so they can serve the public. But when considering salaries, it shouldn’t be a case of keeping up with their counterparts in other regional districts. The focus should be on the local economic circumstances at the time and what their constituents can handle.

T
he Morning Star front page headline, ‘Water rates could soar’ is nothing more than wishful thinking on the part of our local elected officials. Greater Vernon has some of the highest water rates in the Okanagan and it is inevitable that these rates will soar well beyond inflation. Let us all hope that sufficient domestic water is available for purchase regardless of the price. Two recent decisions by our water officials have decreased substantially the amount of water available for domestic consumption: 1) The intake on Kal Lake closest to Coldstream Creek has been deemed most suitable for agricultural use and will no longer be used for domestic water and 2) The 3,000 domestic customers previously supplied from wells have been switched to Duteau water and the well water set aside for agricultural use only. The rationale given is that it has become too costly to treat water from these two sources to the standard required for domestic usage. Some of our councillors point the finger at Interior Health but then say not to worry. They say only 1.2 per cent of our total water comes from wells. That is true but very misleading because the bulk of our water is used for agriculture. Calculating the percentage more appropriately would show that those 3,000 switched well water customers accounted for a much greater percentage of domestic water usage. The mega dollars spent on the Duteau Creek treatment plant did not add one drop of extra water to our supply; all the money spent went to making the water coming from the Aberdeen Plateau sources more palatable and less subject to boil water advisories. The problem is we do not have enough water to satisfy both domestic and agricultural demand except MORE IMPORTANT THINGS On the front page of the Jan. 14 Morning Star Bill Vander Zalm’s final quoted comment is “We never set out to get a premier fired . . . our intent is to get rid of the HST.” Over the last year a number of writers and speakers have referred to the need to “get rid of the HST” or to “get rid of this new tax.” Does any reader seriously think that “getting rid” of the harmonised sales tax means getting rid of combined taxes of 12 per cent? Do you actually need the provincial sales tax of seven per cent and the goods & services tax of five per cent to be shown separately on every invoice? What would that achieve in real terms? Perhaps readers should also ask business people how they feel about possibly being forced to revamp their accounting systems twice in two or three years just because some people have swallowed Vander Zalm’s blinkered rhetoric. And maybe they can come up with a way of repaying the federal
in average or better years of winter snow pack followed by average or better years of summer rainfall. Our local councillors’ growth at any cost mentality is to blame for letting our population growth outstrip our water supply. We live in an arid climate and approving housing development after housing development has brought us to the point where water restrictions are in place year-round and additional restrictions are necessary in drier than average years. Only by spending a lot more money to raise dams or drill more wells can we provide water to the 8,000 ready to build home lots already approved by present and past councillors. The impacts of scarce and expensive water are with us now and the more our population grows the greater the impact will be. Brown lawns are no big deal; grass has evolved to cope with summer drought and can survive. The same cannot be said for our urban forest canopy. Drought stress is becoming more noticeable in residential trees that are no longer being irrigated; it will take them a while to die from drought but disease and insect attack as they weaken will extract an earlier toll. Some, of course, will cheer the demise of non-native trees but I will
government the $1.6 billion transition fund already being paid to B.C. And how to re-establish and pay for the now defunct PST collection and auditing system. Me? I say stop wasting everyone’s time and money and start worrying about some of the really important things happening in the world today. A. Witts REAL ACTION NEEDED I recently received a letter from our MP Colin Mayes in which he praised the Canadian government’s action on climate change. I am not convinced. Canada has just been named as the worst country in addressing climate change for the third year running. It was pleasing to read that Mr. Mayes now believes "it is a given that action does need to be taken" when it comes to climate change. The remainder of his comments, however, demonstrate that his government is not tackling this issue in an adequate or timely manner.
He begins by stating that his government has a "firm" goal to reduce emissions by 20 per cent by 2020? In fact, the Conservative government changed that to 17 per cent last January. And over the past four years his government has shifted baseline years twice - each time weakening the Canadian position. How is this firm? Mr. Mayes goes on to say that since 2006 Canadian emissions have been reduced by seven per cent. I am uncertain where he is getting this information. The Environment Canada website listing annual greenhouse gas emissions shows that between 2006 and 2008 we went up two per cent, not down. Worse, this means that if we continue on the path we are on, we won't even reach the inadequate targets the government is setting now. Mr. Mayes still claims that the science on the causes of climate change has wavered. The last science report from the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which won the Nobel Peace Prize,
mourn their loss of beauty, shade and birdsong. We taxpayers have and are changing our behaviour to conserve water but we need our politicians to help too by keeping some incentive in the system. We use less water but then the water purification plant officials decide to raise rates to cover higher per-unit operating costs. That creates a selfperpetuating no-win situation our politicians need to address. A good starting point is to look at how officials have loaded long-term water costs onto the front end so we present-day users are being unfairly overbilled today rather than these costs being amortized over the life of the asset. Fairness means pricing water at the cost of treatment and delivery. Overcharging for a public good to build up reserves for future use is not how democracy is supposed to work…we all should pay as we go, not a penny more; not a penny less. For those who have forgotten, we call it responsible government. Another issue needing councillor action is stopping hobby farmers and country estate owners from using cheaper agricultural water. Most people agree real farmers earning all or much of their livelihood from growing food deserve lower agricultural rates but hardly anyone agrees that such rates are deserved by fake farmers who are simply taking advantage of a cheap water loophole. Well-paid officials and councillors collecting stipends from multiple sources need to recognize that many taxpayers are struggling to keep their head above water on fixed pensions, shortened hours and low-paying jobs. It seems to me that for meaningful change some new ‘bums’ are needed come November elections to replace those overly comfortable in the well-upholstered pews around our council chambers. Jim Bodkin
states with 90 per cent confidence that the warming we are experiencing today is caused by human activity. This message has been consistent from the broad scientific community over the past two decades. It is not the science that is wavering but those who don't want to listen or take responsibility. Yes, let’s base our decisions on clear science and begin creating jobs in renewable energy technology now. The world’s nations recently met to discuss climate change in Cancun. They concluded that in order to avoid dangerous instability in global water security, food production, flooding, and ultimately the displacement of people, we need clear and binding CO2 reduction targets - exactly the ones the Conservativeled Senate voted down in Bill C 311 without debate just a few weeks ago. The key to climate action is that we need to begin right away to lay the groundwork for the decades to come. We need real action; not claims of action. Kelly Megyesi

Parents must educate kids on drugs and alcohol JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
When it comes to manners, parents will go to great lengths to teach their kids ‘p’s and q’s’. Yet when it comes to drugs and alcohol, few parents are actually taking the time to educate their children. But in reality, most parents are more concerned about the potential for their kids to start using drugs and alcohol than whether or not they remember to say please or thank you. So why aren’t they taking the time to educate them, asks Doug Rogers, substance abuse prevention counsellor within the schools.
Every year in September when the new crop of Grade 8 students walk through the doors of high school, Rogers asks how many of them have talked about drugs and alcohol with their parents. “It’s less than 30 per cent,� said Rogers. To help parents understand the importance of discussing the topic, the Vernon School District recently hosted a presentation on the subject. Dr, Marvin Krank, professor of psychology and dean of the College of Graduate Studies at the University of British Columbia Okanagan, shared his insight and studies on adolescents and substance abuse.
The event drew more in their adolesmore than 150 people, cent years than ever including parents of before,� said Krank in teens, pre-teens, local his presentation. doctors, teachers and The teenage years are others who touch the a difficult time of physlives of adoical, emotionlescents – al, social and including neurological Rogers. transitions. “People While many came to take teenagers may some sage act like they advice home aren’t listenand I think ing to their Marvin Krank they did,� parents, they truly are taksaid Rogers, who is also a father ing it all in. “What you say and of a seven-, 10- and 12-year-old. do matters,� said Krank. Just as parents want “Contrary to appearto guide their chil- ances they need you dren to make the right more than ever.� Rogers encouragdecisions, Krank says children need their es parents to lead by parents’ guidance and example since children support. watch their parents “They need you every move.
“A glass of wine is one thing, a bottle of wine is quite another.� Many parents feel the inevitable will happen – their kids are going to drink. But Krank says that doesn’t mean it should be encouraged. One parent at the presentation asked: “What happens if I host a party?� Krank’s simple response: “No. Don’t host a party.� Yes, it’s likely that teens are going to experiment with alcohol and/or drugs. But giving them a place to do it sends a mixed message, said Krank. Instead, Rogers suggests that parents continue to discuss the subject, but don’t just
tell kids what they can’t do, give them options to what they can do. “You need to give kids alternatives to drinking and drugging,� said Rogers, who involves his oldest in taekwondo. “Find out what your kids are good at and exploit that.� Krank concludes his presentation by saying: “We don’t want to prevent them from taking the journey, but we do
want them prepared for challenges along the way.� So just as parents gently remind their kids to say please and thank you whenever the opportunity arises, parents are encouraged to take the same amount of opportunities to have that honest, open and non-confrontational discussion with their kids about drugs and alcohol.

She advises high school students to make every second count, to find ways of helping other people, to try every day to do things that you will look back on with pride. “Because you’ll be sitting on the stage with everyone, and you’ll look around and you won’t know where the last five years went,” she said. “After graduation you won’t remember how stressed you were from that chemistry 12 midterm or that socials 11 provincial. You’ll look back and remember that time you volunteered at the hospital, the day you played hockey against the staff. “High school will be over before you know it, so make the most of it.” Academics have always been important to W.L. Seaton student Jenelle Backer, and said she received support and motivation from her parents and her twin sister, Melanie, also a top Seaton student. “My teachers have influenced me most over the years, especially Mr. Howard, who taught me for many years and really sparked my interest in science,” she said. Backer’s fondest memory of high school was the band trip to Cuba in 2008, as well as trips to Moscow, Idaho with the jazz bands, playing volleyball with her friends and throwing javelin with her sister. “It’s always nice to take a break from homework All Winter Clothing to go play volleyball or play my sax because it allows and Shoes me to focus more on the homework when I sit down at it,” she said. “However, there were still plenty of late nights All Winter Outerwear — academics were important to me so I made sure I put in the time to succeed.” FEBRUARY 4TH & 5TH ONLY!

However, BCFGA president Joe Sardinha said it’s an intense subject. “This is all about market perception. The last thing we want to do is to appear to be open to genetically-modified organisms. Washington State would put us out of business. In European markets, they’re very sensitive on the GMO issue. “We can’t take the risk of appearing to have an open door policy on this.” Organic grower Wilf Mennell said he is very concerned about GMOs being introduced into their plant material. “As an organic grower it would jeopardize my certification.” Winfield grower Penny Gambell said, “The feedback I’ve heard is very negative.

Farmers pick up project funds JUDIE STEEVES Black Press
Several projects are now underway in the Okanagan’s tree fruit industry, including promotional activities, pest control and new packing technology. A total of $5 million from the federal and provincial governments will be spent by the industry in the next four years on projects that will result in greener business and better market access. Joe Sardinha, B.C. Fruit Growers Association president, said the money can be attributed to efforts to gain public support by setting up booths at farmers’ markets across the province to bring attention to the low returns the industry is suffering under. “The public told MLAs there should be more support for farmers.” Sardinha said B.C. Tree Fruits has already received some of the funds for promotional work other than advertising, while the Sterile Insect Release program received $75,000 toward
a $400,000 pilot program. More projects will get underway in the coming year, including some innovation in packing equipment or new technology such as an electronic defect sorter, said Sardinha. As well there could be some funds allotted to a new cooling process for fruit and to new marketing initiatives.
The money is intended to permit the tree fruit industry to take advantage of new technology and to strengthen its position in the global market. “We want to support the trailblazers out there who are ready to put new technologies to the test and try out new markets and products,” said Ben Stewart, B.C. agriculture minister.
regular growers too. “Until we understand it better, this is not a road we want to go down,” she said. However, another BCFGA member, who is also a federal scientist working on the project of creating a nonbrowning apple, David Lane, told growers the government is spending huge amounts of money

Headbones is back and refreshed KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
It’s been several years since Headbones Gallery graced Vernon’s 30th Avenue with its avant garde collection, revolving exhibitions, and exotic events. Closed in 2001, when owner/artist Julie Oakes moved to New York City, the gallery was later reestablished in Toronto, and has since made a name for itself on the contemporary art scene. And now Oakes and Headbones are back to give both local and international artists, and those who appreciate art, a new home right here in Vernon. “My family is here, mom and dad in Victoria, and my children right here in the valley, and the time was right,” said Oakes about returning to Vernon. “Everything fell into place –– we found the perfect piece of land, were able to buy it, had already been designing the space to accommodate art..., and we felt we could contribute to the cultural fabric.” Designed by Oakes, and built by her partner Richard Fogerty, with help from her son, the newly-constructed 3,000 square-foot building is located on Old Kamloops Road, and has a number of exhibition spaces, including a 60-foot long picture gallery, 24-foot tall ceilings in the studio, and two residences for visiting artists. “As it happens, I have never had a more copacetic atmosphere. I love working here in my eyrie, overlooking Swan Lake –– a bird sanctuary as I work on my porcelain birds,” said Oakes. “And since I have a solo show at The Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery in April with a large gallery to fill, I have to be concentrated on my practice and produce.” Fogerty (the former owner of The Electric Paper printing company in Vernon) is serving as the gallery’s director and curator, and will continue to promote the artists he worked with out east, while managing the exhibitions at the gallery’s new locale. He has published and produced a number of catalogues featuring artists in the Headbones’ collection, which can be viewed at the gallery. As in Toronto, Headbones continues to devote space to The Drawers, a project initiated by in 2005, consisting of hundreds of unframed original drawings and works on paper by artists from around the world. Now located in Vernon, collectors, curators and interested visitors are welcome to access this diverse selection of paper works, and

Coldstream artist Heidi Thompson, above, is exhibiting her new paintings in the Picture Gallery, below, at Headbones’ new gallery on Old Kamloops Road. the works are also viewable online and in printed catalogue form. The Drawers will be open at three new exhibitions, under the title Refresh, opening at Headbones next week. In the Picture Gallery is The Color Experience, which features large colour field paintings by Coldstream-based artist Heidi Thompson. “Heidi Thompson is the perfect artist to begin within our Picture Gallery,” said Oakes, adding Headbones presented Thompson’s smaller works on paper in an exhibition in Toronto a few years ago, as well as her work in Vernon back in 2000. “To be able to show her big paintings is a privilege and, believe me, she will make our Picture Gallery shine.” Thompson’s recent paintings have been shown around North America, with solo exhibitions in Atlanta, Ga., San Diego, Calif., and Grand Forks. Her paintings are also in tune with her personal spiritual practice of Vipassana meditation, and breathing techniques, which she will share in a demonstration at the gallery, Feb. 13. An introduction to the meditation will conclude with a 45 minute practice session. Anyone interested is welcome to attend. (Wear comfortable clothing and bring a cushion, blanket or
shawl.) Also opening at Headbones is Tweener, a recent body of neo-psychedelic works by London, Ont.based artist and wrestler Scott McEwan, on display in the Drawers Gallery. McEwan’s work comes via his solo exhibition in Berlin, Germany. No stranger to Headbones, the artist was included in the exhibitions NeoPRIEST and A Weird Queer Freaky Christmas, where the studio hosted a live wrestling performance equipped with a regulation wrestling ring and five participating wrestlers. His artwork has also been previously selected for the catalogue cover to promote the Toronto Alternative Art Fair International. The Paper Gallery features a selection of works on paper from The Drawers’ collection with work by three artists, Vancouver’s Robert Bigelow, Toronto’s Steve Rockwell, and New York’s Katia Santibanez. Visitors will also be able to view several design works by Vernon-based artist Carl St. Jean, as well as Oakes’ working studio. An opening reception for all the exhibitions takes place Thursday, Feb. 10 from 6 to 9 p.m. (Due to recent weather and the steepness of Headbones’ driveway, visitors are asked to park at the Kin Race Track, where a shuttle will ferry them to the gallery and back.) The exhibitions continue to March 20. Regular gallery hours are Tuesday to Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., or by appointment. For more information, phone 250-542-8987 or visit www. headbonesgallery.com.
A Lumby-raised comic book artist is flying high after hearing she has been nominated for a national award. Recognized for her work on Sky Pirates of Neo Terra #4-5, Red Riding Hood in the Fractured Fables Anthology (Image Comics), Camilla d’Errico was nominated for Outstanding Comic Book Artist by the 2011 Joe Shuster Awards. The awards are named after the pioneering Toronto-born artist who, along with writer Jerry Siegel, created the iconic super-powered hero Superman. “I am honoured and humbled to be nominated in this category, and in the company of some of the entire comic book industry’s best artists”, said d’Errico in a press release. “This nomination means so much to me because I’ve worked hard to establish myself in this field and to follow my dream despite opposition and doubts at times.” A prestigious award, and equally prestigious nomination, The Joe Shuster Awards give recognition to — and raise awareness of — the efforts made by Canadians who make, publish and sell comic books, web comics and graphic novels. In the category of Outstanding Comic Book Artist, d’Errico is in the running with other artists, Stuart Immonen, Jacques Lamontagne, Francis Manapul, Julie Rocheleau, Fiona Staples and Cameron Stewart. The awards gala will take during the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo June 18. The creator of Japanese-animated (manga) style graphic novels and comic books Tanpopo, Helmet Girls, and Burn, d’Errico, 30, is a graduate of Charles Bloom Secondary School, who is now based in Vancouver. A prolific artist, who also has a line of collectible toys and other products, d’Errico has recently been working with entertainment companies on feature films and video games.

It’s frightening to read the resumes of today’s movers and shakers: they all seem to be former employees of Goldman Sachs. Will anything change?

She and her employees didn’t understand how some traders could even function on the trading floor after most nights. As Ken Eisner of The

For its next film, the Vernon Film Society has chosen Inside Job, nominated for 10 awards including a 2011 Academy Award for Best Documentary. The film provides a straightforward and e a s y - to - u n d e r s t a n d analysis of the global financial crisis of 2008, which at a cost of more than $20 trillion, caused millions of people to lose their jobs and homes in the worst recession since the Great Depression, nearly resulting in a global financial collapse. Through exhaustive research and extensive interviews with key financial insiders, politicians, journalists, and academics, director Charles Ferguson traces the rise of a deregulated industry which has corrupted politics, regulation, and academia. Narrated by Matt Damon, Inside Job starts not on Wall Street but in Iceland, a nation whose problems turn out to be the world’s in miniature. How did this tiny country, with a gross national product of $13 billion, end up with bank losses of $100 billion? The movie explains well how housing bubbles, insurance scams, unsecured mortgages, lobbyists, and the acquiescence of corrupt economists and blind politicians have worked together to create this worldwide mess. In the end, you don’t need to fully understand what derivatives and sub-prime mortgages are all about. It’s enough to know that the overpaid head honchos at Lehman Brothers and Goldman Sachs got away with it and now they’re in charge of everything.

Blues harpist revved up for Saturday DVOIRA YANOVSKY Vernon Jazz Society
Never mind the February chill, the room will be hot when electrifying harmonica bluesman Sherman “Tank” Doucette returns to the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday. Doucette will be accompanied by his band Tankful of Blues. “We’ll play mainly Chicago blues, but we’ll be mixing up the feels – blues, swing, big band, Latin, straight shuffles, and a few heartbreakers so couples have a change to snuggle on the dance floor,” said Doucette. Doucette’s gigs are always a blast of high energy. “I’d call my musical style blues on fire because we love to boogie. It’s not sleepy blues – it’s big-city blues!” Doucette’s repertoire will include original music from his last two CDs, Blowin’ Through Town and Harp & Soul, as well new compositions. Fans can also expect to hear fabulous blues tunes from artists such as Little Walter, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, B.B. King, and Louis Jordan. “I wear the blues band banner proudly,” stated Doucette. “I know what I am – I’m a bluesman!” Doucette is pretty busy these days, playing most weekends, writing new material, and planning a spring recording. His prediction for the Vernon gig includes, “a whole bunch of smiling faces having a really good time.” Born into a musical family in North Battleford, Sask. in 1953, Doucette has been playing music since he was a young boy. By age 15, he was on the road, harmonica in hand, headed for Vancouver. It was there that he discovered the Chicago blues style as expressed by legendary blues musicians Muddy Waters, Junior Wells, and James Cotton. Inspired, Doucette began singing and playing in a variety of local blues and rock bands. Over time, he devel-

In 1977, Doucette survived a massive explosion in a lumber mill that left him with burns to more than 50 per cent of his body. He spent the next six months recovering in hospital. More determined than ever,
Doucette focused his time and energy on his music. Three years later, Doucette formed his own blues band, Incognito. The band was at the forefront of the Vancouver music scene, recording three independent CDs and touring extensively across Canada. Over the years,
Lee Hooker and Buddy Guy. Sherman “Tank” Doucette and his Tankful of Blues take the stage at the Vernon Jazz Club, 3000-31st St., Saturday at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:15 p.m. Tickets are $20 ($15 for jazz society members) at the Bean Scene and Bean to Cup coffee houses.
Doucette has shared the stage with a legendary cast of musicians, including John Lee Hooker, Albert Collins, Sunnyland Slim, Pinetop Perkins, and Long John Baldry. Besides a passion for playing harmonica, Doucette also collects them. He has more than 700 harmonicas, many of which date back to circa 1910. Some of these treasures can be viewed at his online harmonica museum. The band features a great lineup of musicians, including Rick “Poppa Dawg” Halisheff on guitar, Grant Jones on bass, and Brian Maguire on drums. Halisheff is a solid bluesman in his own right, leading his own band. Jones has been performing with Doucette for almost 12 years now and co-writes with him. Maguire has been playing the blues all his life, performing with artists such as John Thursday, February 3 6:00

News Report shows Armstrong’s Fortune won’t last forever ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Having used the Fortune Creek water source for, as Armstrong Mayor Chris Pieper terms, “70, 80, maybe 100 years,� Armstrong council wants to continue planning to preserve such a resource. Pieper and council members were presented with a 130-page draft copy of an assessment report on the watershed prepared by Summit Environmental Consultants. “There’s a whole bunch of technical data on our whole watershed to do with the size of it, the amount of flows and comparing it to other creeks in our area,� said Pieper. When contacted by The Morning Star in regards to the report, Pieper said he was still going through it, but was happy to note that the Fortune Creek watershed is well protected. “Half of it is in Silver Star Provincial Park which is really good as the only real recreational uses in it is Sovereign Lake crosscountry ski centre,� said Pieper, although snowmobilers can also use trails around Sovereign Lake. “Silver Star downhill skiing is on the other side of the mountain, and that’s not in the Fortune Creek watershed.� The idea of the assessment is for the city to see how long they can plan on using Fortune Creek watershed as a resource before having to increase storage or drill more wells. Coun. Shirley Fowler noted that the report mentioned the possibility that come 2030, there could be a need for more water than there is water available for the hot summer months of July and August, and that there is a need to conserve water. “In the next 20 years there will be a tremendous focus on water conservation, it’s here now in fact,� said Pieper. The city plans to continue its push to
have water meters installed in the community, with the mayor calling meters “the first step in conservation.� “People hate them
because they’re another level of bureaucracy, especially when they don’t have them,� said Pieper. “Every community has them. All of
the new buildings built here in the last 10 years have got provisions for including water meters. We’re pretty committed to going ahead with
them.� The city’s plan to borrow money to pay for metre installation was defeated by residents in an alternate
approval process in 2010. Council is now looking at going after grant money to help pay for water meters.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You are momentarily in a fortunate trend for gratifying a secret ambition. Make your moves, but don’t do so openly. The benefits can be enhanced by the element of surprise. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Get out, mingle and be friendly to folks from all walks of life. There is a new acquaintance waiting to meet you who will have a strong, favorable effect on your social life. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Make it a point to elevate your sights when it comes to your goals. Certain challenging objectives will help motivate you to fulfill an ambitious quest. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Some special knowledge that you recently acquired will likely come in very handy. You’ll be grateful that you had this information at your fingertips. CANCER (June 21-July 22) If someone tells you about a special investment proposal s/he recently stumbled upon, pay attention if you are sitting on a cash surplus. It might turn out it to be perfect for you as well. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Don’t get impatient about a situation that you’ve been negotiating for some time, but if you think it might be for you, continue to learn more. You might clinch the deal. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Conditions could give you that toehold you’ll need to continue the diet or exercise program that you recently started. Instead of putting it off, get serious about it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) It would be a mistake to delegate surrogates to do important things that you’re better equipped to handle yourself. You’re the one who is operating on a successful frequency. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Certain conditions that have an important effect upon your family’s wellbeing can be effectively improved upon. Something you’re capable of doing would enhance the clan’s security. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Define and focus on definite targets that you would like to achieve within the next couple of weeks. The more concise you are about your plans, the better your chances of success. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) It would behoove you to diligently search out outside factors that could come into play and provide you with greater material security. Handled properly, you’ll have a long run.
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 Dave Barry said, “I can win an argument on any topic, against any opponent. People know this, and steer clear of me at parties. Often, as a sign of their great respect, they don’t even invite me.” Can you win this argument -- battle -- at the bridge table? You are in three no-trump. West leads the heart five. How would you plan the play? Your response of one no-trump showed 6-9 points (or a poor 10) and fewer than three spades. North cautiously invited game when most would have jumped to three notrump. But you rightly moved on because your hand had a good five-card suit and two 10s.
Given the heart lead, you have six top tricks: one spade, four hearts and one diamond. And the club suit will provide four more winners. But you must watch your entries. If you play low from the dummy, take the trick with your heart 10, and play on clubs, West, if he learned the game before breakfast, will only take his ace on the second round of the suit. Then, how will you get back to your hand to cash those three club winners? You won’t! You must sacrifice one heart trick to get four club tricks. You must play second hand high, winning the first trick with dummy’s heart king. Then you immediately
attack clubs to collect nine tricks: one spade, three hearts, one diamond and four clubs. It is good business to give up one trick if you get three in return. And if you do that here, partner will surely invite you to the next bridge party.

Q: A:
How can I tell the difference from one company to the next as far a quality goes?
Unfortunately you cannot test drive a kitchen or try it on and walk around prior to purchasing so finding the difference in quality to the first time inexperienced buyer is not that easy and it does takes a keen eye to note the differences. First thing I would suggest is to knock on the back centre of the cabinet to determine if it is a solid 5/8 back or just the flimsy 1/8 hardboard. This is key to cabinet construction, strength and trueness to remaining square. Make sure the interior is good quality 5/8 melamine and not white vinyl typical to the low end knock down cabinets. Finished side panels and moldings should be same finish as the doors and not melamine or vinyl wrapped. Door and drawer hardware should be of European origin and not off shore knock offs. Last but not least take a door and angle it towards a bright light to see the quality of the finish. There should be no traces of dust, contaminants or imperfections in the finish whatsoever. There are many more items to test quality that space here unfortunately does not allow for.

Real Estate Agent
Are you able to differentiate your files?
Q: A:
What does “Agency Relationship” really mean?
Agency is explained in the “Working with a Realtor” brochure that your Realtor will go through in detail with you. By signing this brochure, you, the client is NOT bound to the realtor.

Q: A:
I want to lose weight but due to medications, I can’t take most diet pills… help!
Many diet supplements do have products in them that are contraindicated for those taking heart, antidepressant, or thyroid medications making it difficult to select a safe, effective product. However there is hope! Natural products such as PGX can help with your blood sugar and appetite control. This is a plant based dietary fibre that keeps you full longer and maintains blood sugar so you are less likely to snack. CLA is another proven aid for weight loss. It is intended to increase muscle mass and decrease fat deposits by hindering lipoprotein lipase (LPL) - an enzyme that breaks down and stores fat in your body. Weight loss can be a challenge. With a combination of healthy lifestyle, supplements and will, success is inevitable!

What are the newest trends and colors in the furniture market for 2011?
I just got back from the Las Vegas Furniture Market where I noticed an emphasis on colorful, fashion forward fabrics and bright accents in the form of pictures, chairs, rugs, vases etc. Contrast stitching and two tone upholstery sets were also quite common. Grey is the new “brown” and purple, lime green, blue and pink were the main accent colors used with grey. The addition of power to reclining sofas, loveseats, chairs and even home theatre seating was everywhere! Lastly, functional furniture was also a highlight; for example beds with storage drawers, reclining sofa’s with all 3 seats that recline, coffee tables with stools, and children’s loft beds just to name a few. Furniture is always changing, come in and see us at City Furniture where we can help you bring the newest trends to your home.

Everyone is faced with thousands of marketing messages on a daily basis, it is truly overwhelming and when your message isn’t clear and simple, it gets lost in all the clutter. That’s why it is essential to keep consistency through all forms of your media. In fact, I thought that George Moen (president of Blenz) described integrated marketing very well at the Vernon Chamber seminar. He commented on how marketing has evolved from bought media (such as tv, radio & newspaper), to owned media (website & email) and now earned media (social media such as Facebook, Twitter & YouTube). It’s a great way to look at the different aspects and mediums of marketing and once again being consistent and persistent in each will be your biggest tool in gaining the attention of your target market.

The correct filing system for your business is essential toward removing office chaos. It begins by analyzing your business needs and the best system to streamline your office space. A solution is to invest in colour hanging folders to help you differentiate and create sections or categories in your file cabinet. The goal is to develop a quick, easy retrieval system to locate any document in 60 seconds or less.

Q: A:
What is radon gas and should I worry about it in my home?
Radon gas is a naturally occurring substance that can be found in virtually all areas of BC. It is produced by the breakdown of radioactive minerals deep in the earth. Normally, radon dissipates into the air and is harmless but, because it is heavier than air, it can concentrate in enclosed living spaces and turn deadly. The W.H.O. recognizes radon gas as the 2nd leading cause of lung cancer worldwide, trailing only cigarette smoking. Tests have shown that living in certain houses can be as dangerous as smoking 150 packs of cigarettes a day. There is only a small chance that any given home will have high levels of radon present, but I always recommend having your home tested, just in case.

Vernon duo excellent at X Games Morning Star Staff
First time in Aspen, first time competing at the Winter X Games, first gold medal for Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Josh Dueck. Joined by wife, Lacey, at the finish line, Dueck won gold Sunday in the Mono Skier X race, winning comfortably over American Brandon Adams. Great Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sean Rose took the bronze, all three X Games rookies grabbing the podium placings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the most fun Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had in a long time,â&#x20AC;? Dueck told an X Games correspondent as he soaked up cheers from the crowd at the bottom of the Buttermilk Mountain course. Dueck and Adams were the only two really in contention for gold as a mishap at the start gate knocked down two of the four opponents. In menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s snowboard cross, Kevin Hill, also from Vernon, followed up his 21stplace finish at last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s X Games with Josh Dueck silver this time around. The 24-year-old finished in one minute 29.856 seconds, a fraction behind gold medallist Nick Baumgartner or Iron River, Mich., winning $15,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an amazing event that I used to dream about being in when I was a kid and now my dream has come true,â&#x20AC;? said Hill. The menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s course featured an enormous jump right before the finish line, which forced several riders out of weekend competition due to injuries. Three of Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canadian teammates on the world cup circuit will miss this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stop in Korea after crashing on that jump. Hill, who grew up riding on Silver Star, said his experience as a free ride snowboarder, and as a pro BMX racer, helped his confidence in the air. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jumping a BMX bike is pretty intimidating. If you case a jump on a bike, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the worst thing. On a snowboard

Hill started his snowboard cross season in France for a Europa cup where he turned in one of his best performances to date to claim gold. Next it was a trip to La Molina, Spain for the world championships, where Hill qualified 24th overall.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;At least I was though to the finals on race day,â&#x20AC;? smiled Hill, noting the course was built mostly of man-made snow. After advancing to the quarterfinals, Hill bumped with an Italian rider just before a 55-foot jump and crashed out of the competition, settling for 14th overall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was out for the day but not injured which was all that really matters in the end,â&#x20AC;? said Hill, who is sponsored by Fitness West, Attridge Ski & Board and Dunas.

The junior menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s semifinal and championship games go Sunday at the North Hill Curling Club. The Vernon foursome, who curl in the local super league, opened with a tough 5-2 loss to Yukonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thomas Scoffin (3-4). After the two teams blanked five of the first eight ends, Gardner counted a single in eight to lead 2-1 heading into nine. Scoffin cracked a four-point ninth end to seal the win. Gardner opened with a three-ender against Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vincent Bourget, but fell 8-7. The two rinks went back and forth, with Gardner holding a 6-4 lead after seven ends. Bourget (2-5) responded with a triple in
eight, then held Gardner to a single in nine and counted a single in 10 to earn the win. Gardner needed an extra end to earn his first win of the spiel, counting a single in 10 and steal in 11 to ground P.E.I.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spencer Pitre 6-5. The Vernon rink made it two straight when they outlasted North Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cody Johnston 7-5. Gardner earned a solid lead early by counting three in the first end, and built on that with a deuce in four to go up 5-1 after four ends. Joh-nston (2-4) chipped away at the lead with singles in five, six and seven, but Gardner put the game away with singles in eight and 10. Gardner gave up several big ends in an 11-4 loss to North West Territoriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Colin Miller. Tied 2-2 after four ends, Miller (2-4) exploded for three in the fifth end followed by a double steal in the sixth to seize control. Gardner replied with back-to-back singles in seven and eight, but Miller iced the game with four points in nine. The Vernon crew were right with New Brunswickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jon Rennie until the final end, but gave up three in the final end to lose 7-3.

Snakes trim Trail in OT Morning Star Staff
If you do David Robinson a favour, it doesn’t take long for him to pay it back. At least that was the case Saturday night at Cominco Arena where the Vernon Vipers clipped the Trail Smoke Eaters 2-1 in a B.C. Hockey League double-overtime thriller before 1,000 fans. Robinson got bailed out by Vernon netminder Kirby Halcrow when the Smokies were awarded a penalty shot in lieu of a minor he earned while the teams were at 3-on-3 in double OT. Halcrow hung with Smokies’ sniper Travis St. Denis to make the stop. On the very next shift, the Viper captain went forehandbackhand to beat first star Trail netminder Kiefer Smiley shortside for the winner on a rush started by second star defenceman Malcolm Lyles. Dylan Walchuk sprung Robinson (third star) with a nice pass on an odd-man rush. The Smoke Eaters (30-19-2-2) came out hard, outshooting Vernon 6-1 in the early going. Eric Walker opened the scoring for the hosts at 2:33, assisted by Dylan Tappe. “We were slow coming out of the gate. They took it to us pretty good,” said Vipers’ head coach Mark Ferner. “But we weathered the storm.” Darren Nowick completed the regulation scoring with three seconds left in the first frame. Walchuk corralled a partially blocked point shot and fed it to Dane Muench, who went cross-crease to Nowick for a tap-in on the powerplay. This is the Vipers’ 14th foray in to overtime this season, and forward Kyle Murphy said it does take a toll. “We’re certainly getting used to it, but it’s tough, espe-

We’re thrilled to get the win,” he said. “There weren’t many penalties so it was just 5-on-5 hockey and both teams were rolling lines.” The Vipers, first in the Interior at 30-10-4-8, lost forward John Knisley early on when he re-aggravated a hand injury, forcing Ferner to juggle his lines. “It gave us the ability to mix some lines around. It kind of got everybody going,” said Ferner. The Smokies, who finally have close to a full roster, went 7-3-1-1 in January. It is the first time since the 2003-04 season that they finished the month above .500.
“The trade deadline helped,” said Ingram, who landed forward Nic DeSousa from Prince George. “If you look at it, the last three weeks we’ve picked up DeSousa, (Sam) Mellor and St. Denis.” St. Denis and Mellor, two key offensive components, missed the first part of January due to injury. The Vipers play six of their eight remaining regular-season games at Wesbild Centre. They entertain the Nanaimo Clippers (24-22-1-5) tonight at Wesbild Centre. In KIJHL action Saturday night, the Revelstoke Grizzlies got 2+1 from Brandon Perger as they grounded the North Okanagan Knights 4-0 at Nor-Val Sports Centre.

A huge thank you to Kulwinder Smith for organizing an awesome tourney. Special congratulations to Tanner Lorenson and mom for winning the free throw contest.” In collegiate women’s basketball, the UBC Okanagan Heat floored the visiting Langara Falcons of Vancouver 78-47 Saturday night.

STORK REPORT
CARA BRADY/MORNING STAR
Ruth Edwards (left), Hospice Society financial officer, and volunteers Donna O’Hearne and Cherie Montgomery take a break while organizing the Coffee Party for Hospice, which could see as many as 13,690 people around the North Okanagan enjoying some time together while learning about the Hospice Society and making a small contribution.
Pour a cup for Hospice CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
The Coffee Party for Hospice hosts and hostesses invite their friends, who invite their friends, who...and if all goes well, more than 13,000 people will be able to get together to help the hospice volunteer program. They won’t all be together at once, of course. The idea is that the first seven guests, already signed up, will each invite six friends to an individual event, these six will each have a party for five guests and so on down the line until the seventh round where each host/ hostess invites one guest. “I took part in a coffee party when we first moved here. It was the last round so I invited my three-year-old granddaughter and we had a picnic in the park. I really like this idea, it would be great for
“It’s a lot of fun and a way to get your friends together and maybe connect with some people you don’t see that often.” — Cherie Montgomery people who are new to the community,” said Donna O’Hearne, who is now a Hospice Society volunteer. Volunteer Cherie Montgomery is the Coffee Party for Hospice organizer. “It’s a lot of fun and a way to get your friends together and maybe connect with some people you don’t see that often,” she said. “I know some people who are having their parties at their offices.” The first coffee party will be at Hospice House Feb. 8 and those guests will then be organizing their own events up until March 31.
It doesn’t have to be anything elaborate. Suggestions include: a home party as simple or as fancy as wanted; getting together at a coffee house, having an appetizer potluck; hosting a card night; or meeting at a pub for wings and beer. Each guest will contribute $10 to the Hospice Society. Hosts are encouraged to ask people from all parts of their lives — work, school, church and clubs including those in Armstrong, Enderby and Lumby — to help raise awareness that Hospice Society serves the whole North Okanagan.
The event will benefit the volunteer program at the Hospice Society which includes volunteers who work with clients in the house and the community, auxiliary volunteers at the house, office volunteers, fundraising volunteers and the volunteer board of directors. The Sprouted Fig (3407-30th Ave.) will make a donation of $1.62 for each cup of
regular coffee purchased between Feb. 8 and March 31. Just say, “It’s for hospice,” when ordering the coffee. Anyone who would like to attend a party as a guest and get in the loop can contact Montgomery at cherie@nohs.ca or call Valerie Blundell, North Okanagan Hospice Society financial assistant, at 250-503-1800 (local 113).

Canadians pay for bad diet
I
’ve recently been following the series Village on a Diet on CBC TV Monday nights, that shows the residents of Taylor, B.C. trying to lose a ton of weight and get fit. I’m certain they are no different than many small or larger towns in any province in Canada. But what has struck me the most, isn’t so much the weight problem, but that so many of the younger to middle age women have never learned to cook from scratch, nor do Cathi Litzenberger they seem to realize or understand how important good nutrition is in maintaining their own health or in raising healthy children. If you’re not taught at home or in school, where do you get your ideas of what’s good or bad? To be sure, it’s from the big American (and to be fair, some Canadian) food processors who spend millions advertising and promoting their particular brand of time saving, easy-to-make, fattening and addictive meals that they deem to be “healthy.” Our country’s overall lack of nutritional knowledge is showing up in an ever-growing increase of obese Canadians, in cases of Type 2 diabetes unheard of two generations ago, in more allergies and sensitivities, in more heart disease and cancers, to name but a few. It’s time we all took a good look at what controls our food choices. It’s time to go back to eating real food. Today’s homemade dishes will warm the soul and comfort the body on these cold winter days. The meatloaf recipe saves big in the
KITCHEN WIT & WISDOM
calorie and fat departments and offers extra fiber, thanks to the oatmeal and potato skins. Today’s second recipe is a bread pudding that everyone will enjoy for breakfast or dessert. Meatloaf and Mashed Potatoes 1/2 cup white wine 1 cup finely chopped onion 1/2 cup finely chopped green pepper 1/2 cup grated carrot 1 lb. ground round or sirloin, or ground turkey 1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce 1/2 cup uncooked old-fashioned oatmeal 1/4 cup Parmesan 2 tsp. dried oregano 1 tsp. red pepper flakes 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. black pepper 2 large egg whites 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced 1/3 cup chicken broth Vegetable-oil cooking spray Topping 1-1/2 cups pasta sauce (such as Classico Fire-Roasted Tomato & Garlic Sauce), heated 6 basil leaves Mashed Potatoes 4 large Idaho baking potatoes, unpeeled, scrubbed and cut into small pieces 1/2 cup skim milk 3 tbsp. light sour cream 3 tbsp. light (reduced-fat) butter 1/2 tsp. salt 1-1/2 tsp. black pepper (or to taste) 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced 2 tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped (optional) For meat loaf preheat oven to 375 F. Pour wine into medium skillet and cook onion, pepper and carrot over low to
medium heat for 15 minutes. In a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly, using hands. Spoon in vegetables and liquid from skillet. Shape mixture into a loaf approximately 5-inches wide, 10-inches long, and 3-inches high. Coat a 9 x 13-inch baking pan (or loaf pan) with cooking spray, then fill with mixture. Bake 1 hour; let stand for 5 minutes before slicing. Top each slice with 1/4 cup warmed pasta sauce and basil leaf. For Mashed Potatoes: bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes and simmer 15 minutes or until they are cooked through. Drain, then transfer to a serving bowl. Using a potato masher or hand mixer, combine remaining ingredients. Serve warm with meat loaf. Bread Pudding 6 slices day-old bread 2 tbsp, butter, melted 1/2 cup raisins, cranraisins or dried fruit of your choice 4 eggs, beaten 2 cups milk 3/4 cup white sugar 1 tsp. cinnamon 1 tsp. vanilla Preheat oven to 350 F. Break bread into small pieces into an 8-inch square baking pan. Drizzle melted butter or margarine over bread. Sprinkle with dried fruit or raisins. In a medium bowl, combine eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Beat until well-mixed. Pour over bread, and lightly push down with a fork until bread is covered and soaking up the egg mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly tapped.
Get some nutrition information to go CATHY RICHARDS Special to The Morning Star
As dietitians, we get a lot of questions about healthy eating from people everywhere we go. How can we hope to answer everyone’s nutrition questions in this all-consuming profession (pun intended)? It’s actually easy. We point people towards registered dietitians that are just a phone call away, and to credible nutrition resources that are just a mouse click away. Dietitian Services at HealthLinkBC: Just pick up your phone and dial 8-1-1. You can speak to a registered dietitian Monday to Friday. If you have just been diagnosed with a condition and are not sure what to eat, if you need answers to nutrition questions such as, “how much calcium is in spinach?” or “how do I introduce solid food to my baby?” this free service is a great place to start. Hundreds of nutrition handouts are available on websites like www.healthlinkbc.ca/dietitian or http://www.dietitians.ca/Your-Health.aspx. And of course Interior Health’s website has lots of great information at www.interiorhealth.ca/healthy_eating.aspx Canada’s Food Guide to Healthy Eating: You can pick up a regular food guide at a health centre, but it’s more fun to personalize your own! On the internet, search for Health Canada’s Food Guide and then click on the “Make My Food Guide” tool: select the foods and activities you love, and voila — your individualized food guide pops up, ready to print and post on your fridge. If you’re young, not so young, pregnant, vegetar-
ian, allergic to milk, or a picky eater this is your chance to have a food guide that fits your needs. Food Guide Tracker: Remember those old fridge posters where you could check off a box each time you ate a healthy food? They’re back! Visit Health Canada’s Food Guide web page http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/ food-guide-aliment/index-eng.php and click on “My Food Guide Servings Tracker.” Trackers are especially great for pregnant women, athletes, waist watchers, and also the elderly who may want a gentle nudge to have more than toast and tea for supper. Kids love checking off the boxes, so these trackers are a real family favourite. For the Curious: The Center for Science in the Public Interest’s “Nutrition Action Healthletter” is enthusiastic about helping readers find healthier foods to enjoy while keeping the food industry and policy makers on their toes. Highlights can be found at http:// www.cspinet.org/canada/ For the Very Curious: Passionate foodies can delve into nutrition and food production news at either NYU Nutrition Professor Marion Nestle’s blog www.foodpolitics. com or by poring over great reports and listening to amazing pod casts from the Yale Rudd Center’s website: http://www.yaleruddcenter.org/podcasts. aspx We hope that some of our favourite things become favourites of yours. Bon appetit! Cathy Richards is a registered dietitian and works as a community nutritionist in Kelowna with Interior Health.

With sorrow and fond memories the children and surviving brothers and sisters wish to announce the passing of Stan Hubensky. After a year and a half in eldercare Stan died suddenly at Parkview Place in Enderby on Jan. 27th, 2011. Stan was born in 1916 near Rossburn, Manitoba. He was the second born of 10 children to Mike and Mary Hubensky, young immigrants from the western Ukraine who homesteaded north of the Riding Mountains. Stan apprenticed as a blacksmith and trained in welding. In 1940 Stan moved to B.C. to work as a blacksmith at Aleza Lake and other logging camps outside Pr. George. From 1945 to 1950 Stan was an owner/ partner in Central Sawmill at Ferndale. He met and married (1952) Mary Teichroeb. They moved to the Quesnel area and then a farm at Mara where they grew a small dairy and four children. As well as farming Stan worked as a millwright at NWI, Arrowhead, Malakwa, Enderby/Riverside and other sawmills in the Shuswap. Stan and Mary enjoyed a long and active retirement at Grindrod. Mary passed away in 2004. They are both missed and remembered by many friends and relatives. Before they are rejoined for eternity we wish to invite neighbours, friends, and relatives of Stan and Mary to a memorial service and luncheon, the time and location will be announced in June. If so desired, contributions in memory of Stan may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of B.C., Box 1141, Salmon Arm, BC, V1E 4P3. Online condolences can be sent through Stan’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm.
