Safety urged among businesses ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A fifth attempted robbery in Vernon since Dec. 1 has police calling for employers to add staff to shifts. And police also feel the robberies are being committed by more than one person. A lone man walked into Vern’s Pizza in the 3600 block of 32nd Street Friday night shortly after 9:30 p.m., produced what appeared to be a handgun and demanded the female employee open the till. “She refused and told him, in no uncertain terms, where to go and that she was going to call the cops,� said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “The clerk realized the gun was fake.� The suspect reached for the clerk but she pulled away. He knocked over a table and a monitor near the till as he was leaving the building. The man was seen jumping a fence on the north side of the business, and spotted driving off in an older red Ford truck with a long box. The vehicle had no tail gate, and no licence plate number was recorded.
“We’re asking employers to remain vigilant...� — Molendyk The suspect is described as possibly native wearing a dark jacket, baggy jeans, dark toque and a dark fur-lined hood. He is about fivefoot-11, slim build, approximately 20-to-25years-old, thin face and was wearing skatertype running shoes. Police are concerned about the increasing number of local robberies. “We’re asking employers to remain extra vigilant and recommend having at least two employees working a shift for safety reasons,� said Molendyk. Having an employee challenge a would-be robber is not something police recommend, but Molendyk said in this particular case, the clerk felt comfortable enough to do so,
as she felt certain the weapon was plastic or imitation. No weapon was recovered by police. Police have no suspect for this attempted robbery, or ones attempted earlier this month at the Best Western Plus Vernon Lodge Cold Beer and Wine Story, Corner Grocery, Vernon Husky and on a delivery driver, and in only one of the incidents did the suspect receive any cash. “Talking with investigators, we may have more than one or two people active here,� said Molendyk when asked if the robberies were being committed by the same individual. “There are similarities, and we have to look at them, but there are some indications that we’re probably dealing with more than one individual on these robberies.� Anybody with any information on any of the robberies is asked to call the Vernon detachment at 250-545-7171, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Tips can also be left on the local Crime Stoppers’ website, www.nokscrimestoppers. com.

Vernon RCMP cashed in on their hunt for a robbery suspect from an incident at the Lake City Casino Dec. 1. A woman had her purse stolen by a man, who dragged the victim for a short period as she refused to let go of her purse before she couldn’t hold on any longer. Police, aided by surveillance footage from the robbery, arrested a 22-yearold Kelowna man at a Vernon home Thursday. “The surveillance photos did lead to some tips,� said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “Our officers were able to identify who the individual was, and do some follow-up as to where he was. But, yes, the surveillance footage was a big factor.� Asked by a reporter if people are rtargeted at the casino, Molendyk said he was aware of a “few thefts� from the facility. “However, you have to appreciate this building has more surveillance cameras than probably any other place in the city for obvious reasons,� said Molendyk. “There are individuals who will try. Some of the victims are playing the machines with their purses beside them and probably are not paying as close attention to the purse as they should be. For some, it’s a crime of opportunity.� Molendyk said police are satisfied the casino suspect is not connected to a string of recent Vernon robberies. The suspect was slated to appear in Vernon Provincial Court Monday to face a charge of robbery with violence.

Range established for possible tax increase RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A proposed tax freeze in Vernon could thaw out rather quickly. On Monday, council established a preliminary tax increase range of zero to 2.3 per cent in 2012. But most officials admit some revenue hike will likely be required. “We won’t end up at zero but it (range) shows we respect what’s going on in the community,” said Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe of ongoing
financial uncertainty. “It gives direction to staff that we want a cost-saving budget.” Coun. Bob Spiers points out that the budget is very preliminary at this time and figures will change before the document is adopted in the spring. “It’s just a range to give them (city staff) some direction,” he said. Catherine Lord “It doesn’t show the public that the budget will be zero.
The last few councils have said zero and we haven’t wound up with that.” Staff suggested Monday that a four to six per cent tax hike would be needed to cover cost of living increases and basic services. Four per cent equates to $1 million. “Four to six per cent is way too high,” said Coun. Catherine Lord. “Staff needs to look at cost savings as much as possible. With the euro in (turmoil), there could be a big impact here and our taxpayers won’t be able to tolerate much.” Opposition to establishing a range came
from Councillors Juliette Cunningham and Patrick Nicol. “Without seeing the actual budget, it seems premature,” said Nicol of identifying specific figures. That was also a concern for Cunningham, who is new to council along with Lord and Coun. Brian Quiring. “I haven’t seen the budget. I don’t know what add-ons are coming,” said Cunningham, adding that she requires more information before she can make a decision on a potential tax increase.
Council considers full-serve edict for gas stations RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Gas stations may ultimately be forced to provide full service to people with mobility issues. Vernon council will form a commit-
tee to consider whether there should be a bylaw requiring that one-third of all fueling services at gas stations be fullserve to make it safer for seniors and the disabled. “There is a lot of
panic among seniors who will have to get someone else to pump their fuel,” said Coun. Catherine Lord. It was pointed out that the few remaining businesses with fullserve are phasing that
option out. “It’s not the way to encourage independent living,” said Coun. Patrick Nicol, adding that individuals in wheelchairs can’t get out of their vehicles to pump gas.

can impact that margin,” she said. Council members were surprised to learn that there are no formal requirements for gas stations in B.C. or Canada to assist the disabled with fuelling vehicles. “In some communities this has been enacted by bylaw but there is no federal or provincial legislation that stops a service station from having all selfserve pumps,” said Leon Gous, chief administrative officer.

A good start
I
t’s obvious Vernon’s new council wants a clear break with the past. On Monday, council considered a request from two organizations to enact a bylaw that would force gas stations to provide full service to seniors and the disabled. Being able-bodied, I’ve never considered how people in wheelchairs or reliant on walkers pump fuel when they pull into a self-serve station, which is what mostly exists in Vernon these days. Climbing out of the vehicle isn’t simple for them and they can’t always have a passenger along for the ride. But instead of automatically doing what appeared to be the right thing and approvRichard Rolke ing a bylaw, a go-slow approach was taken. An ad hoc committee will consider the matter and most importantly, gas station owners will have a seat at the table. “We need to give them the opportunity for input instead of being a top-down council,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham. “Give them a chance to be heard and they may have some good ideas.” There was agreement around the table that while the disabled and seniors struggle at selfserve pumps, any requirements for full service will have monetary implications for local businesses. “They are functioning on small profit margins and government imposing more costs can impact that margin,” said Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe. It was a distinct departure from the perceived actions of the previous council and particularly the proposed reduction of vehicle lanes on 43rd Avenue. Many businesses claimed they had not been consulted adequately and they expressed their frustrations during a summer rally that fea-

tured signs saying, “Shame on city hall,” We are the boss,” and “Listen to us.” Support came from some 29th Street merchants who felt the city had imposed bike lanes on them and not considered their interests. “It’s time that they hear what the people have to say,” said Pauline Davidson, with Carpet Castle, during the rally. It should be pointed out that three members of the new council were part of the last council. But some of them were never comfortable with the suggestion that city hall was dictatorial and hell-bent for leather despite what businesses wanted. “There are many issues we need to address in a more efficient manner than we did with this one,” said Coun. Patrick Nicol during the election campaign. Cunningham suggested that gas station owners and operators may have some good ideas, and they might. Just by sitting down, council may learn that self-serve gas stations may already have procedures in place to assist customers who are unable to pump gas, or that some businesses have no plans to eliminate full service so that option will continue for people with mobility issues. It could be that a discussion will show there is no need for legislation to proceed. Then again, such a talk may highlight the concerns facing seniors and the disabled and the need for a bylaw. If this new council learns anything important during this term, it’s that perceptions become reality. For example, the previous bunch of politicians took considerable steps towards public consultation while developing the official community plan and annual budgets. But none of that is remembered. Instead, they get tarred with the mishandling of 43rd Avenue and 29th Street. Mayor Rob Sawatzky and his team got off to a positive start with openness and transparency Monday, but let’s see what the public says about them in three years.
There is no doubt about it, times are tough. Between businesses struggling to earn their keep and families striving to stretch a dollar, the economic situation isn’t ideal for most. So when it comes to the season of giving, many are finding it harder to get in the giving spirit. Maybe you’ve slipped fewer coins into the Salvation Army’s Kettle campaign, or had to cut out your annual charitable contribution altogether? It’s understandable. Unfortunately, the impact is being felt by those who have it the hardest. Those who are not only struggling to fill Sally’s stocking, but are struggling to fill Sally’s dinner plate. Over at the Upper Room Mission, donations to the annual backpack campaign are coming in at an alarmingly slow rate. With just 11 days until Christmas, the Mission is expecting to hand out 150 to 220 backpacks, yet only 27 have been donated. The unfortunate situation at the Mission is likely occurring at a number of other organizations – all hoping to benefit from the season of giving, only to find that the donation bank is already depleted. So this holiday season, count your blessings, not your bills. Share your own fortune with the less fortunate. Instead of giving mounds of gifts to those who already have an abundance, give your time to them. And share what you have with those who have not. Even better yet, make a donation in the name of a gift recipient, to a cause special to them.

Community needs new vision
R
e: Time for a New Vision & Residents must remain active: I commend and agree with recent editorials advocating that even after recent elections residents stay involved and contribute to a revitalized community vision. Our politicians, new or not, can’t do all the work. We’ve had years to conceptualize an OCP and we need to mobilize and realize these proposed creative concepts for core community amenities and enhancements now. We certainly don’t want to delay or experience in years ahead what Yogi Berra quipped as “Deja-vu all over again.” In Vernon, a good focus to improving the look and inclusive "liveability quotient” amenities of the downtown core would be the Coldstream hotel site and other vacant (eyesore) lots. The City Centre Plan with proposed shops, cultural facilities, affordable housing, greenspace and lively street life potential has finally been adopted. So without letting another decade pass, “Just Do IT.” Along the way feel free to win a few green architecture and xeriscape landscaping awards for structures and surroundings which sustainably combine commercial, community, and cultural amenities. In terms of any cultural facilities, all taxpayers who care about the bottom line or even those who don’t engage in the arts personally should welcome the arts which have a proven track record of more bang for the buck in terms of investment payback. According to the Conference Board of Canada “the EDUCATE YOURSELF I am responding to the article, “ Dumb Talk Over Smart Meters,” by Tom Fletcher. Mr. Fletcher says that letters to Black Press have been written "..with exaggerated or false claims that stoke baseless fears of radio waves.” Where does Mr. Fletcher get his expertise from? Is Mr. Fletcher working as a reporter/journalist or a spokesperson for the Liberal government? In his column, Mr. Fletcher does not or cannot support his remarks with any substantial evidence. All that I hear is his “bad mouthing” and discrediting people who do not agree with or support his view of wireless smart meters. These people are credible and are stating their point of view from the data available. I do not like being forced to accept and pay for these wireless smart meters. I do not want to be a guinea pig for unproven technology. What evidence is there that smart meters are safe?
arts and culture sector contributed $85 billion to GDP while paying $25 billion in taxes which was 3 times more return than the investment. (2008 figures). StatsCan numbers (2006) show that the arts/culture sector had more employees than the forestry, fishing, agriculture, oil, gas and mining sectors combined and twice that of the banking industry." Neighbouring communities have made great strides in recognizing the economic and social benefits of the arts. Kelowna recently endorsed a 5 year Arts & Culture plan which contains “10 goals and 63 strategies to enhance their cultural ecosystem.” They have a designated Cultural district and cultural services manager. Forward thinking. Armstrong unanimously voted to double a recent local arts grant in response to what they heard from the community during the recent election campaign.
Why are many areas in California and other states removing the wireless smart meters and reinstalling the previous analogue meters, and other places around the world banning them completely? The analogue meters that we have at present are made in Canada, the smart meters are made elsewhere. So much for keeping jobs in Canada! What happens when large numbers of these smart meters are transmitting in close proximity, for example in an apartment complexes, at schools, daycare centres? There are major concerns about how the smart meters affect birds, insects, especially bees. One can access more information on smart meters at: www. citizensforsafetechnology.org and other sites; just take a little time and educate yourself. M. Orser JUBILEE JUBILATION It seems that every day I read,
see or hear about all the problems with Vernon Jubilee Hospital and our government health care system, so maybe I will just confirm some facts here. I recently spent three nights at our hospital (my first overnight stays) and I will have to say that I have no negative comments. The excellent care that I received was second to none. I would like to thank all of the staff who were in my mind the best. This includes the administrative staff, my surgeon and his crew, my family doctor, the RNs and RPNs, the lab and X-Ray technicians, the physio staff and all the volunteers. Most of all I would like to thank the critical care nurse that provided me with my home care support and all the other things that an elderly male needs while convalescing. Thanks again to you all. I think we are damn lucky to have our hospital and our medical care system. Gerry Hughes
In Vernon we have some fine cultural assets in terms of facilities and facilitators which contribute directly and indirectly to our local economy, well being, city character and social capital. If this cultural landscape was missing we would indeed be impoverished (Canadians spent twice as much on live performing arts as sports events in 2008). Invest in arts/culture if you want green, sustainable jobs attracting further investment, tourism, an educated workforce, quality of life factors and potential future employment for successive generations. Who doesn’t want that? To nurture this lively community core concept with the right focus and funds I encourage the new council to access all available and relevant federal and provincial improvement grants (such as Armstrong did with UBCM/ Healthy Families community planning); make intelligent budget and tax strategies; establish an arts and culture dept.; mobilize Vernon visionaries and volunteers, service clubs and organizations to join with you to work together for the well being of all citizens and the betterment of “Our Town.” Are we ready to commit to a worthy goal and roll up our sleeves to make a difference? “What you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.” (attributed to Goethe) Becky Strube
THANK YOU On Sept. 29 my husband had a cycling accident while coming down Canyon Road in Enderby. He suffered a broken neck and spine, but after undergoing surgery is home and expected to make a full recovery. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the many people who stopped to offer assistance. And although there was little they could do to help John while waiting for the ambulance, the concern and compassion evident on the faces of these strangers was enough. We would especially like to thank Dorothy Lee who phoned 911 and transported our bikes and gear back to our home. She subsequently continued to return and check on the bikes until I arrived back home late that evening. As a footnote to this story, we are convinced that had it not been for a good bike helmet there would have been a much more tragic ending. Virginia Halper

High cost anticipated with transit expansion RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Demands are growing to expand transit in Vernon, but the price tag appears daunting. City council will discuss potential expan-
sion of the system after receiving a service review report from B.C. Transit Monday. “It has to boil down to dollars and cents. We can’t do it all,” said Coun. Brian Quiring.

The ability for taxpayers’ to absorb any increased spending is also a concern for Coun. Patrick Nicol. “We may have to do them over a number of years,” said Nicol of proposed upgrades. The service review process started in June and it included consultation with the public. “People want more

There has been significant demand from residents of the Foothills subdivision for transit, but that would cost $170,000 a year for an hourly service. There has also been calls to expand transit between Vernon and the University of B.C. in Kelowna. To fill in afternoon gaps in the service would

Wanted Alberta offender located in Vernon store ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
It started out as a report of a theft of a woman’s purse from a

City of Vernon COMMUNITY GRANT APPLICATIONS Community grant applications are now available online at www.vernon.ca. Applications are due December 30, 2011.
At about 3:50 p.m. on Dec. 5, a report of a theft of a woman’s purse from the Real Canadian Superstore came in. Store staff located the purse behind the building, and, according to RCMP, noticed a man nearby. A short time later, staff spotted the man in the store and were certain he had shoplifted some items. “He was arrested by our officers and was
found to be in possession of stolen property,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. While conducting their investigation, police found the suspect had 13 outstanding warrants out of Edmonton and Stony Plain, Alta., and was waiting disposition on eight other warrants. The warrants are for sexual assault, break and enter and 10 other additional charges, along
with two counts of failing to comply with conditions. Shaun Wilfred Tyler Crane, 31, will be transported back to Alberta to face the charges. “What will happen to the outstanding charges here is that will be held, and if everything is dealt with in Alberta, they’ll probably just waive them from here,” said Molendyk when asked about the Vernon incident.

Police seek woman who collided with alleged thief ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Vernon RCMP hope to hear from a woman who may have bumped into a thief outside a local business. Police received a report of a shoplifter
at the Shoppers Drug Mart on Highway 6 at 1:15 p.m. on Dec. 6. “One of the store employees stated that a suspect male, small build, wearing a jacket and a hoodie, and in his early 50s, stole cheese
and DVDs, and ran out the front door,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. Attempts to apprehend the crook by tackling him outside were unsuccessful, and he escaped on foot towards Polson Park.
A police service dog team was called to the scene, and the dog picked up a track and followed it for some time through the park and up Mission Hill. Items stolen from the store were recovered along the way.
Police were able to identify the suspect through video footage from the store, but he has not been arrested. What concerns police is that the thief may have tried to steal a woman’s purse after leaving the drug store.
“The information we received is that as the suspect ran away, he ran into a woman and there may have been an attempt to steal her purse,” said Molendyk. The woman left before police could speak with her and
there was some indication she may have been limping. “We’d like to speak with her, know that she’s OK and find out the details about what happened,” said Molendyk. “We have no idea who she is.”
Off-duty officers apprehend suspect on Highway 97 ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Two off-duty RCMP officers from Vancouver ended up putting in a little overtime in Vernon. The pair were in an unmarked vehicle Dec. 8 at 8:30 p.m. when they pulled over a vehicle on Highway 97, near Bailey Road,
because they were almost hit by what they thought might be an impaired driver. “One of our general duty officers was dispatched to help the two off-duty officers, and it appeared the two occupants of the vehicle, a man and a woman, were becoming more uncooperative when our officer arrived,” said Vernon RCMP
spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The Kelowna male, 23, was arrested because he didn’t have a valid driver’s licence and he had been consuming liquor, a violation of previous conditions. He is facing obstruction and breach of probation charges, along with driving with no insurance on the vehicle.

New tool helps displaced residents RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
“We want buy-in from the development community.”
The City of Vernon wants assurances that developers treat tenants fairly when they are evicted. Council has instructed staff to investigate how other communities handle the displacement of people from low-income housing due to redevelopment and formulas they may use for compensation for tenants. “I’m so happy we found out that we have a legal ability to do this,” said Coun. Bob Spiers. “This is another tool the

— Patrick Nicol community has to help people displaced by development.” The issue arose when the city recently considered plans for a 37-unit seniors-oriented apartment on 30th and 29th avenues. If the project proceeds, about 36 tenants will have to leave the
former motel and three houses on the site. Coun. Juliette Cunningham says there must be a mechanism to trigger increased compensation for tenants beyond what developers must pay under provincial laws.

Dog puts bite on suspect ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A Vernon RCMP police service dog literally put the bite on a stolen car suspect. A police officer patrolling the downtown area Saturday noticed two people in dark clothing run from the 7-Eleven in the 3200 block of 39th Avenue at around 11 p.m. “The officer saw the two people run into a grey Jeep Liberty and take off from the area,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “Attempts to stop the car were unsuccessful.” A description of the vehicle and its activity was dispatched to officers on shift, and the Jeep was found abandoned a short time later, about three blocks from where it was first spotted. The vehicle had earlier been reported stolen out of Kelowna. A police service dog was brought in, and the canine picked up the track and found one of the suspects trying to hurdle a fence. The suspect didn’t make it as contact with the dog was made. A second suspect was not found. An 18-year-old man from Kelowna, believed to be the driver, was arrested and released on a promise to appear in court in the new year to face charges.
Lake Country grow-op busted Morning Star Staff
Two Lake Country residents are facing drugrelated charges following the shut down of yet another marijuana grow operation in the Okanagan. Lake Country RCMP executed a search warrant under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act Dec. 7 at a home in the 13000 block of Okanagan Centre Road West. Lake Country RCMP investigators seized more than 16 pounds of packaged marijuana bud in 33 half-pound bags, and other drug trafficking paraphernalia. Police are recommending charges for the 45-year-old man and woman arrested in the home, including possession for the purpose of trafficking. Both were released on a promise to appear, and are scheduled to appear in Kelowna Provincial Court in February.

Clarence Fulton leadership students are looking for the community’s help to stuff the bus Thursday as they collect non-perishable food items, winter clothing, toys and cash donations in the Buy-Low Foods parking lot on 25th Avenue from 6:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Fulton students stuff the bus JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Some local students are on board with filling a community need. Clarence Fulton’s leadership class is aiming to ‘stuff the bus’ Thursday in the Buy-Low Foods parking lot in the Okanagan Landing Plaza between 6:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Students will be on hand throughout the day tomorrow collecting non-perishable food items, winter clothing, toys, toiletries, baby needs and cash donations. “The idea is to fill up the bus” said Rick Smith, leadership teacher. “We have 406 cubic feet to fill.” The stuff the bus challenge is part of Fulton’s annual food drive, which will benefit the Salvation Army Food Bank, as well as a few families in the area. “We have a few families in the Fulton community that are in need,” said Smith. “So we’re trying to get the Okanagan Landing and Fulton community to support us on this.” Tax reciepts will be available to those making cash donations.

Chorus shares its carol of the bells Locals join Okanagan Handbell Chorus to ring in the season with the symphony KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Janine Carscadden and her family are arguably the Canadian equivalent to the von Trapp family except they play a uniquely different instrument. A new resident to Armstrong, Carscadden can still see the gleaming, brass bells beckoning at her grandmother’s house as if it were yesterday. It all started with a call from her maternal grandmother, who lived in Peterborough, Ont. at the time, that brought Carscadden, then seven years old, and her family to visit. “She said ‘I have a surprise for you,’” remembers Carscadden, who then resided near Sudbury, Ont. “We got there and I saw all these shining bells laid out. I had never seen anything like it before. Handbells were not known around these parts at that time. They were brand new as not many (handbell) choirs in Canada existed then.” The family took the bells home, and Carscadden’s mother laid the three-octave set –– that’s 37 handbells, including those for sharp and flat notes –– on the dining room table. “We learned some pieces and then we NIKKI ATWELL entered the Kiwanis Music Festival. Our family had only six members so we recruited North Okanagan residents Sandra Lorimer, left, and Janine Carscadden rehearse with the another family and we started our own Okanagan Handbell Chorus before their Ringing in the Season performance with the Okanagan Symphony, Sunday at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. handbell choir,” said Carscadden.

Besides Carscadden, Vernon’s Sandra Typical handbells range in size from a “This a wonderful experience for me and couple of inches to almost a foot in diam- Lorimer is another ringer who has joined the
Okanagan Handbell Chorus, and says she is excited to take ringing out of its usual place in churches and out into the community. “One thing with the bells I love is not just listening to them, but they are very visually pleasing with their shiny brass,” she said. “They were first introduced to me in Ottawa a few years before I moved here. After I retired, I wanted to pursue ringing. I was told B.C. had a guild so I made a couple of phone calls, and in 2005, I joined the Okanagan Bell Ringers in Kelowna.” Handbell groups can now be found in almost every town and city in the valley. There are three in Kelowna, and Vernon did have one, but due to low numbers, ringers have had to go elsewhere, said Lorimer. “There’s talk about starting one up here again,” she added. The cost of bells can be prohibitive. A typical three-octave bell set can run up to $10,000, so it takes a lot of fundraising, said Lorimer. However, the B.C. guild has a chime loan program so bells can be loaned out to its members who often visit schools to teach children how to ring. “The kids usually grab onto it pretty quickly compared to the adults,” laughed Lorimer, explaining that each member of a three-octave choir is usually responsible for two notes, plus their sharps and flats, so you usually have four bells each. “The timing is the biggest factor,” she said. “It really is a team project.” The bells also lend themselves to the spirit of the season, and are fitting for Christmas carols. “There is a joyful, uplifting sense that the bells bring,” said Carscadden. “We hope the audience will enjoy it.” The chorus has a number of holiday favourites in store, which they will perform with the OSO as well as ensemble and solo repertoire specifically written for handbells. The audience will also have a chance to join the orchestra and handbell chorus in a variety of sing-along carols. Abbotsford percussionist and composer Bruce Henczel is also joining the symphony on marimba to perform his Christmas Concerto for Marimba and Orchestra, and the symphony will perform a number of seasonal selections. The Okanagan Symphony’s Ringing in the Season takes the stage at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Sunday at 7 p.m. Tickets are at the Ticket Seller box office.

Author gives wings to historical fantasy Black Press
Those who love the classic, high fantasy works of J.R.R. Tolkien and the historical novels of Ken Follett may want to open up Elliott Cross’ debut novel. The Salmon Arm author has just released the first in a trilogy of historical fantasy novels about a fallen angel’s quest for redemption in the afterlife of the ancient Romans. Cross will be at Bookland book store in Vernon to sign copies of his novel, The Last Archangel: Faithful Amidst The Fallen, Saturday. While the book has certain religious overtones, it is more of an historically-based action fantasy that deals with the darker side of human nature, said Cross. “The action and characters in the book are important in that they move the story along, but the real theme

a mortal vestal virgin from ancient Rome who has been brought to the afterlife world by Archangel Gabriel in an attempt to stop the war. Aurelia bears on her arm the marks of the Archangels. She is the key to what the two warring parties seek –– access to and control of
the Powers of Creation. Together Azdiel and Aurelia must escape war-torn Elysium and journey deep into the dark heart of Hades. “People want heros with super human qualities and strengths” said Cross, who adds that “the younger generation follows its heros in their search for meaning.” “Azdiel is as complex as he is vulnerable. While the book takes place in the fictional after-world, his personal struggles, represent the struggles and the realities of today’s world. Right and wrong, fear, greed, ego, faith and redemption are all elements of the characters in The Last Archangel.” Part imagination, part Roman mythology, Cross says he was also inspired in many ways to write the book by reading John Milton’s Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained. “I have tried to create an exciting, fast-

B3 Kings bring jazzy gift to Vernon DVOIRA YANOVSKY Vernon Jazz Society
In tune with the Christmas spirit, the fresh and funky B3 Kings, featuring Cory Weeds and Denzal Sinclaire, are coming to town. At the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday, the B3 Kings showcase some of Canada’s top jazz talents, including vocal sensation Sinclaire, who also doubles as drummer, Weeds on tenor sax, Chris Gestrin who provides their signature sound on the Hammond B3 organ, and Bill Coon on guitar. Formed in 2002 for a Christmas concert at Vancouver’s renowned Cellar Jazz Club, which Weeds owns, the band’s super funky take on the classic holiday repertoire now plays sold-out houses every year. Following their now classic holiday CD, A Cellar Live Christmas, the B3 Kings just released their new Christmas CD, You Better Watch Out! “Our music is rooted

Singer inspired on seventh CD release Morning Star Staff
Local singer/songwriter Tanya Lipscomb is set to release her seventh album, Revolutionary, Thursday at the Okanagan Centre for Spiritual Living. Singing songs about love, joy, inspiration and faith, Lipscomb has invited special guests to help her celebrate including Jon Buller, Judy Rose, Nona Love, Jodi Pederson, Lorelle Raindown and Leah West. “It is a celebration of collaboration,” said Lipscomb. “Everyone will be singing songs that focus on community, togetherness, joy, loving kindness and non-denominational
songs of faith and God.” A visual art component will also be a part of the evening. Local artist Satyama Lasby will be painting live while the musicians are performing, and Lasby along with Lipscomb will show their latest works of art and paintings. Tickets to Thursday’s event are $12 in advance and $15 at the door (those who bring a donation to the food bank pay $12 at the door) and are on sale now at the Centre for Spiritual Living (2913 -29th Ave., Vernon.) With the purchase of a ticket, you will get $5 off the purchase of Lipscomb’s latest CD.
Armstrong choir to spread peace Morning Star Staff
Armstrong’s Tapestry Women’s Choir is spreading some much needed goodwill to its community when the choir and some special guests perform in concert, Sunday. While the theme of the concert is “peace on Earth,” musical selections from around the world will be sung by the 34-voice choir, including both modern and traditional songs. “Music has the power to transcend, to transport and heal through lyrics, vocal harmony and instrumental arrangements,” said Tapestry member Dorianne Kohl. “At a time when, as a community, we have suffered many tragic losses and uncertainty (these past few months), it is our hope that we can help to restore some of the harmony and peace of mind to our audience.” Led by Len Wood Middle School music teacher Deborah Mehes, the choir works towards achieving vocal harmony through months of rehearsals. “It is an opportunity for audiences to enjoy the magical season of Christmas, and to be transported to other lands, other times and places,” said Kohl. The choir is welcoming special guest, violinist Jane Russell from the Juno-nominated Silver Birch Quartet of Sudbury, Ont., who will present a solo performance. A former student of Vernon music teacher Ken Stromberg, Russell will present a couple of selections, while another special guest, Chris McMahen, author of four children’s books and a former winner of Okanagan College’s short story contest, will read two of his “adult” short stories, interspersed with music. Refreshments –– hot apple cider, tea, coffee, and home-baked goods made by choir members –– will be served at intermission and are included in the ticket price. All proceeds go to the performing arts in local schools. Tapestry performs at 1:30 p.m. and at 4 p.m. at Centennial Theatre in Armstrong. Tickets are $10 and are available at The Brown Derby Café in Armstrong (250-546-8221), or Hungry Jacks Café in Enderby or from choir members.

Agency promotes gift of life Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan residents are encouraged to give the gift of life this Christmas. St. John Ambulance, a non-profit agency, believes a gift alternative this holiday season is first aid kits and first aid training. “They say that the giver cares about your safety and well-being, and they provide the peace of mind of knowing you’ve got the supplies and knowledge to handle a crisis,” said Jeff Nelson, branch manager. “Last but not least, they give you that warm, fuzzy feeling that comes from supporting an important local non-profit agency that’s serving your community.” Got a serious pet-lover on your list? St. John Ambulance has pet first aid kits that come with mini pet first aid manuals. They’ve got your boat-fanatics covered with marine first aid kits, and exercise enthusiasts can receive the sport first aid kit. “I, personally, enjoy the idea of gift certificates for CPR courses,” Nelson said. For more information, contact North Okanagan/ Shuswap St. John Ambulance at 250-545-4200.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Thankfully, fairness and tact are your two greatest assets. Once others see that you are not trying to put anything over on them, they will treat you fairly in turn. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Conditions in general look to be extremely favorable where your work or career is concerned. Keep performing to the best of your abilities, because your efforts are being noticed. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Yield to your need to spend some relaxing time with good friends and fun companions. You don’t have to penalize your budget to do so an inexpensive get-together will suffice. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Allocate a reasonable amount of time to tending to the needs of those you love. If you do so purely from your heart’s desire, it’ll be extremely fulfilling for everyone.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Because your showmanship qualities will be very much in evidence, everything you do will carry a flair for the dramatic and even attract an audience. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’ll sense that in order to be effective, it will be best to keep a low profile. Thus, you will likely choose to operate in the background, planting your ideas in the minds of associates. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Maintain a positive attitude and a victor’s vision, and all the dealings you have with large groups or corporations will come off as well as you hoped they would. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) The itchy feeling dogging your heels that life has been conspiring against you will finally fade. Freed from the burden of your own spurious premonitions, you’ll begin to make slow but definite improvements.

NO MATTER WHAT JOB YOU WANT, THE MORNING STAR CLASSIFIEDS ARE YOUR FIRST CHOICE FOR EMPLOYMENT
Moderately Confused
NO MATTER WHAT JOB YOU
Bridge by Phillip Alder A COUNT CARD COUNTS RARELY ON DEFENSE Kin Hubbard, a cartoonist, humorist and journalist who died in 1930, said: “Being an optimist after you’ve got everything you want doesn’t count.” The count signal doesn’t occur often at the bridge table, especially below the expert ranks. Yes, a highlow (an echo) to show a doubleton when you hope to trump the third round of the suit occurs from time to time. However, there is one time you must give a count signal, playing your lowest with an odd number of cards in the suit, or starting an echo with an even number. This deal is a textbook example. South is in three notrump. West leads the spade
queen. How should the play proceed? South’s rebid shows 18, 19 or a so-so 20 points, and is in principle game-forcing. (Yes, South might have opened two no-trump.) At trick one, East must play his eight, the high card being an attitude signal saying that he has the king. South will probably duck. Then West should continue with the spade nine, the bottom of his sequence. East will overtake with his king and return the suit. South has seven winners: one spade, one heart and five clubs. He needs to get two diamonds. South does best to lead a diamond at trick four, not tell the defenders that he has five club tricks. Since South has at least two diamonds,
West ducks and notes his partner’s two. Since this must be East’s lowest, it shows an odd number of diamonds, which West assumes is three. He wins the second diamond with his ace (when declarer is playing his last card in the suit), cashes his spade winner, and exits with a heart or a club. Now the contract must go down one.

Darren LaFace (left) spares a quick glance forward as he and fellow sweeper Darrell (Heavy D) Houston tend to a rock at the Thompson Okanagan men's curling playdowns Sunday morning at the Vernon Curling Club. The duo play with Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Darren Heath, one of two rinks to advance to the Canadian Direct Insurance B.C. Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Curling Championship, Feb. 6-12, in Parksville.
Heath slides into B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Morning Star Staff
They needed two cracks at it, but Darren Heathâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vernon rink is through to the Canadian Direct Insurance B.C. Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Curling Championship, Feb. 6-12, in Parksville. After bowing 7-5 to Kamloopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Brian Windsor in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A qualifier, Heath â&#x20AC;&#x201C; backed by third Dave Belway, second Darin Laface and lead Darryl Houston â&#x20AC;&#x201C; rebounded with a 7-6 win over Kamloopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Scott Decap in a second playdown later that day at the Vernon Curling Club. Heath earned his way to the first qualifier by downing Windsor 6-4 in A event action Saturday morning. In a back and forth game, the Kamloops skip racked on a centre guard with his last stone in the 10th end, allowing Heath a steal for the win. Joining the Vernon foursome at provincials from other regional playdowns are Kimberleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tom Buchy and Crestonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tom Shypitka (Zones 1 and 2), New Westminster rinks skipped by Ken McArdle and Chris Baier, and Deltaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sean

Geall, all Zone 11 rinks. In an all-Vernon affair, Mark Longworth, who finished at 3-3, counted a single in 10 to brush back TJ Perepolkin 6-5 Saturday. Longworth fell 6-5 to Windsor later Saturday, but rebounded with a 7-6 win over Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brad Wood in C bracket play Sunday morning. Decap iced Longworth 7-5 Sunday afternoon. Perepolkin and Wood both finished at 1-3. Meanwhile, Jean Wilkie (CanHealth Dental sponsor) won the A event of the Enderby Ladies Curling Bonspiel last weekend. Wilkie was backed by third Ann Bell, second Thea Luttmerding and lead Liz Poor. B event winners â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Skip Sandy Farynuk, third Nancy Hedderson, second Diane MacPherson and lead Deb Katerenchuk (sponsored by Enderby Jewelers).

Captain of an inconsistent team which started the B.C. Hockey League season at 0-5, Sean Robertson of the Victoria Grizzlies was told he may get traded before the Jan. 10 deadline. Robertson, who turns 21 in February, got the news Sunday night he was being dealt to the defending league champion Vernon Vipers. The defenceman assisted on one-time Viper Jarryd Ten Vaanholtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overtime goal Sunday as the Grizzlies stopped the Powell River Kings 4-3. The Vipers gave up the rights to Zach McPhee (on injured reserve with the WHL Everett Silvertips) and future considerations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was told Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be moved for the right deal and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be happier coming to a first-class organization like Vernon,â&#x20AC;? said Robertson, whose father Alex is a former Victoria TV broadcaster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re kind of an underachieving team. Our record didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show how good we really are.â&#x20AC;? Robertson is in his fifth B.C. Hockey league season. He has played more than 200 regular-season and 40 playoff games, all in a Victoria uniform. Last season, the 6-foot-1, 190-pound product of Cobble Hill (near Victoria) recorded five goals and 43 points in 60 games. This season, Robertson has five goals and 20 points in 32 games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another captain and a guy who has played over 200 games in this league,â&#x20AC;? said Vipersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach/GM Jason Williamson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We needed to get a little older on the back end, and with Luke (Juha) out, we needed some experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect him to be a saviour or anything. We just need him to be steady and be part of a shutdown pair (likely beside Ryan Renz). Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty good all-around defenceman with RBC (Royal Bank Cup) experience. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a player we targeted for some time.â&#x20AC;? The Grizzlies, who like the Vipers, are fighting for the fourth and final playoff spot in their conference, say they are doing Robertson a favour, much like they have with past veterans and captains. Said GM Vic Gervais: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jake Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trade last year was different. We traded Sean to get him a scholarship. We traded (Nick) Buchanan to Penticton. Penticton

The Vernon Vipers have acquired d-man Sean Robertson from the Victoria Grizzlies. and Vernon are the best two teams in Junior A to get scholarships from, Buchanan just got one, and Robertson will get one if Vernon goes a long ways. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got nothing to do with Victoria (being a bad place to get a scholarship), weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten lots of kids scholarships, sometimes (scouts) need to see something different from a player, and after five years, going to a new team can showcase him in a different role, or the same role but on a better team.â&#x20AC;? Robertson, who will make his Viper debut Friday night against the visiting Trail Smoke Eaters, is Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fifth 20-year-old, including injured captain Patrick McGillis. He will add offence to a defensive core which has just four goals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I obviously bring experience,â&#x20AC;? said Robertson, who played Bantam and Midget Rep in Juan de Fuca after starting minor hockey in Duncan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know what to expect. I bring really good leadership which I can expose on and off the ice. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get anything flashy from me. I just take care of my own end first and go from there.â&#x20AC;?

Hornets buzz Cats in consolation final Morning Star Staff
The Oliver Hornets stopped the VSS Panthers 61-58 Saturday in the consolation final of the PIT Classic Senior Girls Basketball Tournament. The Panthers trailed by three points at the half, but had a strong third quarter to lead by five to start the fourth. Quinsey Leier and Karley Fugel combined for 14 points in the third quarter VSS ran out of energy as their intensity lowered for a five-minute stretch in the fourth which cost them the game. Mary Rice recorded 14 points and five assists, while Sage Blundell chipped in with 10 points. The Holy Cross Crusaders of Surrey stormed the Sa-Hali Sabres of Kamloops 53-33 in the championship final of the 14-team tourney. Michelle Bos of Holy Cross was named MVP, while the all-star team consisted of Leier, Rachel Beauchamp of Holy Cross, Emily Hilton and Nicole Karstain, both of Sa-Hali, and Ashley McGinnis of Oliver. The Kris Kringle Most Unselfish Player honours went to Miori Futemma of Sa-Hali, while the Top Defender award was won by Jenna Marion of VSS. The Panther Pride award went to Bailey Limb of VSS. Sa-Hali grabbed a quick 6-0 lead
and went up by 10 in the second quarter in a 56-49 semifinal victory over the Panthers. VSS got the lead down to one in the second half. Leier dialed up a dozen points and supplied stellar defence on provincial teamer Karstain. Marion chipped in with 11 points, including nine in the quarter, while Rice canned 10 points. “Grade 12s Heather Campbell, Bailey Limb and Christine Furrer did a great job on their point guard provincial teamer as well,” said VSS cocoach Lonny Mazurak, assisted by Bobby Mitchell. The Crusaders ambushed the Hornets 59-33 in the other semifinal with Beauchamp earning MVP. The Summerland Rockets bounced the Mt. Boucherie Bears 47-38 in the game for fifth place, while Kal iced the Fulton Maroons by 17 for seventh spot. In earlier consolation play Saturday, Mt. Boucherie beat Fulton 59-38 with Hana Ouchi getting 14 points and Sam Ferreir draining a dozen for Fulton. The Princeton Rebels toppled the L.V.

Panthers clip Titans for gold
Morning Star Staff
Karameet Khata sank nine points as Fulton stuffed the Salmon Arm Golds 57-39 in Saturday’s consolation final of the Maroons Junior Boys Basketball Classic. Riley Beauchamp supplied eight points and tourney all-star Mitchell Rouault added seven for the Maroons, while Westlee Bischoff nailed 13 for the Golds. “Our tournament is always the guide post that determines the strength in Okanagan and this year looks like a year of parity,” said Fulton coach Malcolm Reid. “Valleyview was deserving champions, but really any of the top-6 teams could have been the winner. “I was very impressed by our team’s effort. We proved to have a strong bench and the ability to run. With more hard work we will be able to play with any team in the Okanagan.” The Vallyview Vikings of Kamloops iced the Mt. Boucherie Bears of West Kelowna 52-37 in the championship final. Layton Demidoff, who rung up 15 points, was named Classic MVP, while teammate Brennan Hegel made the all-star team. Spencer Homei and Derek Grover of the Bears were both chosen all-stars, while Neal Randhawa of the Golden Golden Eagles was also selected in the eight-team event. Earlier in winners side play, the Maroons bowed 53-47 to Mt. Boucherie with Homei bringing down 15 points and Grover getting 14. Victor Gouchee went 9-for-14 from the charity stripe and led Fulton with 14 points. Rouault dialed up a dozen points and Beauchamp collected 11. Golden finished fourth by clipping the South Kamloops Titans 53-52. The Kelowna Owls placed seventh by beating the Pen-High Lakers 51-31. In earlier consolation play, South Kam shaded Kelowna 41-40, Valleyview crushed Salmon Arm 40-18 and Golden gonged Pen-High 64-27. In senior A boys play, the Charles Bloom Timberwolves of Lumby went 1-2 at the Mt. Sentinel Wildcat Invitational in South Slocan. The T-Wolves struggled defensively in their first game against the Selkirk Storm of Kimberley and lost 63-39. Bloom then fell 61-41 to the Sparwood Spartans before stopping the Wildcats 53-43. “I am happy with this group of boys and their potential,” said T-Wolves’ head coach Nathan Lee. “We struggled offensively this weekend but I am satisfied that with continued hard work we will develop well.”

Carly Chaput, who drew double- and even tripleteam coverage in the post, and Mallory Schunter (game MVP) stood out for the T-Wolves as they beat the Mustangs. The Baby Panthers (Grade 8) won the Snowbasher Tournament in South Kamloops, taking the final 37-36 in overtime over the host Titans. Dave Tetrault’s Cats opened the tournament with a thrilling 40-36 overtime win over Sa-Hali. Latisha Baker was player of the game with some superb defensive play, while Kristy Fugel, with 18 points, and Anna Rice, with 10, led the offence. VSS defeated the KLO Cougars 37-33 in the semifinals behind player of the game Teal Hadland’s great defence and seven points. Fugel flushed 14 points, while Kendra Cooper and Rice each netted eight. Courtney Becker and Cailee Bauml dropped clutch baskets. In the final, the Panthers got into foul trouble and trailed most of the game until Katie MacGillivray led the Cats back to a 33-33 draw after regulation time. A steal and free throw by Hadland, with five seconds remaining, boosted the Cats, who got solid defence from Baker and Jessica Melvin. “We are getting better every game,” said Tetrault. “Our defence is allowing us to stay in games. It was a fun weekend.”
Oh brother, what a Knight Morning Star Staff
With scoring leader Patrick Chore carded by the BCHL Prince George Spruce Kings, the North Okanagan Knights didn’t have to look far for offensive support Sunday night. Twin brother Eric Chore fired a pair of goals, including the double-overtime winner, as the Knights outlasted the host Kamloops Storm 3-2 in Kootenay International Junior Hockey League action at McArthur Park Arena. In OT, the Knights went on a 4-on-3 powerplay after Kamloops earned a minor for too many men. Defenceman Nathan Browne snuck down low and fed the puck back to Tanner Burns, who set up Eric’s winner on a back-door play. “It wasn’t quite what I envisioned but they looked like they knew what they were doing and the execution was there,” smiled head coach Kris Mallette, who had a different play drawn up on the chalkboard after he called an OT timeout. North Okanagan, now 20-10-0-1, visit the Revelstoke Grizzlies (21-6-0-2) tonight at the
Forum. The Knights trail the Grizz by just three points in the Okanagan Shuswap Conference Doug Birks Division. Mateja Leko, pulling a spin-o-rama move, put the Knights on the board at the four-minute mark before the league-leading Storm (24-5-1-3) responded with a goal from Colten DeFrias. Eric restored North Okanagan’s late in the first frame, assisted by Burns and captain Steven Pantalozpoulos. Trailing by a goal heading into the third period, the Storm forced OT on a goal by sniper Tyler Jackson midway through the period. “For us to stick with it showed a lot of character. We played a very disciplined style the whole game,” said Mallette. Netminder Dustin Nikkel posted 40 saves to earn third star and his 12th win. Three of Kamloops’ five losses have come against North Okanagan. Meanwhile, Patrick earned an assist as the Spruce Kings clipped the host Salmon Arm SilverBacks 4-1 in BCHL action Sunday at the Shaw Centre (formerly Sunwave Centre).

Give the gift of a smile Community Dental Access Centre moves closer to its goal of opening doors CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Wanda Peterson had a toothache recently. “I was so scared. I just panicked,” she said. She wasn’t overreacting, she was just remembering her experience with an abscessed tooth a few years ago when she had no money to pay to see a dentist. “The walk-in clinic sent me to emergency where I waited for seven hours,” she said. After a CT scan she was told that she needed surgery — not to remove the affected tooth, but to help stop the infection, which was spreading to the rest of her body. She spent four days in the hospital and had an incision under her chin open for six weeks. The cost was into the thousands of dollars, all for an extraction that would have cost about $100 if done at the right time. Wanda and her husband, Greg, both have disabilities and there is little left from their pensions after paying for necessities. They finally borrowed $450 from a family member to have her tooth extracted and paid the amount back slowly. Wanda’s experience is all too common. The Vernon Jubilee Hospital emergency room sees an average of one visit a day for dental emergencies. The medical system allows them to treat life-threatening conditions but not to do any dental work which would treat the cause. The cost to the hospital for dental emergency care in 2006 was $350,000. The Community Dental Access Centre Society, started in 2002 as the Dental Access Program, and now a registered society, wants that to change. A Community Dental Access Centre, similar to ones operating successfully in other parts of the province, would provide dental care based on a person’s ability to pay with free care in some cases. The program had helped both Wanda and Greg with emergency care in the past but now most funds are going toward getting the clinic into operation. Greg had a dental emergency caused by lack of care in time because he simply couldn’t afford it. “Two weeks ago, I had a toothache and took maybe 120 ibuprofen the pain was so bad,” he said. “I thought of trying to pull my own tooth, it was so bad. That caused kidney failure and I had to go to the hospital and stay for one night to be re-hydrated. “I have a lot of pain that the doctor says could be from my teeth but there’s no help to get teeth fixed, even when it’s hurting your health. I know I’m not the only one. There’s a lot of pain out there.” Yes, there is. The Dental Access Centre

Greg and Wanda Peterson received help from the Community Dental Access Centre Society and now they and society chairman Dominique Berard hope to see the doors to the centre open soon. has a waiting list of nearly 400 people of all ages who need care but are not in acute pain. That’s just the people who know about the centre. “It’s easy to see that helping with dental care would save health care a lot of money. I don’t understand why the government hasn’t stepped in,” Wanda said. It hasn’t, and isn’t likely to do so any time soon. The Dental Access Centre Society board of directors members are frustrated but they are keeping on working to raise the funds for affordable dental care in the North Okanagan.
“...supporting dental health would be a small investment for big savings in the long term.” — Dr. Bob Kersey “I have heard the health care system called a ‘toothless system,’ and it is, where dental care is concerned. Dental health affects the whole person and supporting dental care would be a small investment for big savings in the long term,” said Dr. Bob Kersey, a retired dentist who is a member of the board of directors. Dr. Vic Lepp, also a retired dentist and board member, would like to at least see help to get community clinics established to the point where they can pay most of their own way. Once the centre is operating, some patients can access funding from other programs to pay part or all of the cost of services. “Most dental decay is preventable but 30 per cent of the population can’t afford to see a dentist regularly. Up to 40 per cent of children have dental decay by kindergarten and rampant dental decay is the top reason for children under the age of 14 to undergo general anesthetic in B.C. hospitals,” he said.
The centre has found a space downtown and renovations are planned. The clinic would operate with paid professional and volunteer staff and could access more funding once it is operating. The main objective of the centre will be to reduce barriers to quality restorative and preventive oral health care for lowincome people, including early intervention for children. Improved dental health will help people manage chronic diseases like diabetes and reduce the risk to babies born to pregnant women who have periodontal disease. The fundraising goal to open the centre is $450,000. The board has raised approximately $330,000 and needs $120,000 ($40,000 for renovations, $45,000 for equipment, clinic set-up and training, and $35,000 for initial operation costs) to be able to open. Lepp and Kersey challenged the local dental society to have dentists donate $1,000 each to the centre and about 20 per cent of them did. Board member Hugh Carter joins the others in wanting to see the clinic available to those who need it as soon as possible. “We are paying rent for the space and helping with emergencies as much as we can but we want to get a full service which would handle all the problems,” he said. He’s hoping that local people will think about a donation to the centre as a Christmas gift. He calls it The Gift of a Smile. “We have had many low-income people donate what they can to this project but we need more help from those who are more fortunate,” said Carter. For more information or to make a donation, contact the clinic co-managers, Lesly McMillan at 250-308-7163 or Chris Turner at 250-308-4163. Donations in lieu of gifts can be made at any time of year.

ust when I started to believe there was no such thing as a Christmas Grinch, I met two in one day. Neither looked green, but I know it was there, as they whined and complained about waiting. Showing no regard for anyone’s feelings, they sighed and fussed and behaved just like children. The first was in line at a grocery store where a new cashier was trying to go as fast and accurately as she could. Cathi Litzenberger Obviously not fast enough for this lady, who proclaimed loud and nastily that she’d been “Waiting five minutes already!” Then, back into her buggy she threw all the items, and bumping and pushing she wedged her way back out of the line with a parting remark that, “This was ridiculous” and she’d go to (another store). I was aghast with this rudeness, this lack of patience and, being next in line, tried to lift the cashier’s spirits. The second Grinch was no different, belittling and making fun of a service person trying to accommodate his wishes. Don’t they get it? We are so blessed in this country, perhaps a little time waiting in line could be better used to give thanks for all that we have instead of complaining. Today, as in past years at this time, I offer two recipes for Christmas brunch that can be prepared ahead of time and popped into the oven Christmas morning.

A helping hand at Christmas Morning Star Staff
For more than a decade, people in need have had their Christmas made a little brighter thanks to members of the Order of the Eastern Star, Landsdowne Chapter #72 Enderby.

The group has a long history of giving back to the community and is well-known for its collection of cancelled stamps. “We appreciate any donations,” said Fremstad. Stamps should be cut off the envelope, leaving a half-inch border around the stamp. They are then sold to a stamp dealer, and the money is used to buy materials to make free dressings for hospitals to use for cancer patients. “We’d like to thank The Morning Star for putting our stamp ads in the paper, enabling us to collect additional stamps to assist with raising money for cancer dressings,” she said.

Prepare yourself for winter emergencies on the road Morning Star Staff
The number of calls BCAA gets for roadside assistance typically doubles during wet, snowy winter months. But, according to BCAA’s team of automotive techs, many breakdowns, emergencies and related inconveniences can be avoided. You just need to prepare yourself and your vehicle, and drive according to the weather conditions. “Whether you’re unable unlock your car, start your car, or need to be recovered from a snow bank, our team sees firsthand how distressing winter-related breakdowns can be for our members,” says Ken Cousin, BCAA’s associate vice-president of Road Assist. “Drivers need to appreciate that wet or freezing conditions place added stress on a vehicle, and can trigger a malfunction or breakdown at the most inopportune time, or worse — contribute to an accident.” BCAA’s roadside
assistance technicians recommend a full prewinter vehicle checkup, and advise drivers to take the following precautions: Prepare your vehicle ■ Ensure tires are properly inflated. Use high-quality winter tires, all four the same. ■ Test your battery and replace if necessary. Colder temperatures and using more electrical accessories will reduce a battery’s power output, making engines more difficult to start. ■ Top up your windshield washer reservoir regularly with winter-grade washer fluid. ■ Ensure all lights are clean and working properly. ■ Ensure your engine’s cooling system has the appropriate strength antifreeze. ■ Spray lock lubricant into your key cylinders regularly to prevent door locks from freezing. Manage your journey and be prepared
for an emergency ■ Check for the latest weather information to ensure conditions on your planned route are okay. ■ Allow extra travel time. Let someone know your destination, planned route and expected time of arrival. ■ If you’re planning on driving over snow-bound mountain passes, purchase correctly sized tire chains, and practice installing them at home, rather than at the roadside. ■ Only put tire chains on drive wheels. Never exceed the speed limit recommended by the chain manufacturer. Watch for other cars around you when installing chains. ■ If you’re a BCAA member, keep your membership card handy in case you need to call for roadside assistance. What to carry with you ■ Warm clothes (ideally some reflective), blanket, good winter boots and gloves.
■ Fully charged mobile phone and phone charger. ■ A windshield scraper, snow brush, shovel and spare container of winter-grade washer fluid. ■ Emergency and first-aid kits and a supply of food and water for longer trips. ■ Sunglasses. When it’s sunny, glare from icy or wet roads can be blinding. How to drive in winter conditions ■ Slow down to help you stay in control. ■ Completely clean all the snow from your vehicle’s windows, hood, roof and trunk. Ensure your windshield, windows and mirrors are free of frost and ice, and are de-fogged. ■ Drive for the conditions, not the speed limit. Use your turn signals well in advance. ■ Increase the distance between yourself and the car in front of you. ■ Steer gently and avoid harsh braking

and don’t cross if the water seems too deep. Test your brakes after you’re through the water before driving at a normal speed. What to do if you breakdown ■ If it’s safe to do so, stay with your vehicle until help arrives. ■ Pay attention to your surroundings and ensure your passengers are safe. ■ If you have to
leave your vehicle, wear high-visibility clothing so others can see you. ■ If you have to abandon your vehicle, park safely to avoid obstruction to maintenance vehicles such as snow ploughs. Give local police details of your vehicle’s location immediately. For more tips on winter driving, visit BCAA’s Learning Centre at bcaa.com.

I have a home that is about 30 years old. The gas furnace is original to the home; I was thinking about getting a new one but my friend said if it’s not broken, why fix it. What do you think?
The average expected lifespan for a gas furnace is around 2025 years. After that the failure rate goes up. If the furnace fails, it could introduce carbon monoxide into your home. This can be lethal, and it is hard for a layperson to determine exactly when this is going to happen. Also as your furnace ages it does not work as efficiently as it did when it was younger. Older furnaces typically function around 50% efficiency, this means that half of your heating dollar is going up the chimney. Installing a new high efficiency furnace can save significantly in your heating bill plus ensure that you will be safe from furnace failure. Installation of a new furnace is not as expensive as some think, and there are government grants available to help offset the cost. For more information on grants ask your heating contractor or me.

BBA, Marketing, Web & Graphic Design Specialist
How much should I allocate to my 2012 advertising budget?
There are several different formulas that businesses use for calculating ad budgets. I’ve often heard the recommendation 5% of gross sales, but what that doesn’t take into account is some of the business expenses that already play into the advertising “equity” of a business. Advertising guru Roy H. Williams uses a great formula because it takes into consideration the markup of an average sale and rental expenses. For example a business that is in a prime location will often have higher rental expense, but wouldn’t have to advertise as much as a similar business in an affordable (usually not as visible or high traffic) location. In any means, it’s important to allocate a marketing budget to grow your business and then create a marketing plan to follow.

What is visceral fat, and how do I know whether or not I have any?
Visceral fat, unlike the fat under the skin, is the fat that surrounds internal organs. This type of fat is more dangerous because it is known to increase the risk of diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and high cholesterol. As with other fats, it develops through over-eating and lack of exercise. To find out your level of fat, you can go to your gym....most of them have a body composition scale they can use to measure your level of visceral fat. For better health, take steps today by improving your eating habits and working out at least twice a week! Give us a call and one of our certified trainers would be happy to provide you with your visceral fat percentage and give you some tips on how to improve your numbers.

Q: A:
How do I know I am getting a good price on my cabinets?
I advise my clients to settle on one design to start. Most diligent consumers do shop for the best deal and that is fine just make sure that each supplier does an apples for apples quote on the same design and all other components involved. During this process you will find different features and options from different suppliers and that is great as well. However, to keep things on a level plane for comparison purposes make notes of these added features and have that supplier option them. Then once you have talked with two or three suppliers you can now make an informed decision based on a product to product comparison, confidence in your salesman and his industry knowledge, the company’s track record for completion, service and customer satisfaction. Now you can add these other options to your updated design and your new kitchen will be just as you desired. Kitchens are an industry that very much lives up to the adage, you get what you pay for. Like automobiles’ and fine wine cheap is not better. Many companies use off shore knock offs for hardware and less structure in the cabinets to cut costs and inferior finishing processes. This is where the consumer looses. It can be difficult for the average consumer to notice theses difference visually when the product is new, they will not stand the test of time that good quality does. My advice is to ask lots of questions and make notes of the answers, this is your kitchen that you will want to enjoy for many many years take charge of your investment.

She joined Vancouver General Hospital in Bam¿eld section. She passed with honors to become a LP Nurse. Mom was a bright star to anyone who needed her loving encouragement to reach their goals in life. She took in Lucie Burgess to become a teacher and others to go into nursing.
