Crews clear out the former Zellers store at the Village Green Centre Friday to make way for Target which is opening in April.

Suspects sought in four robberies ROGER KNOX

“We are looking to see if the two robberies in Armstrong and Enderby may be connected.”

Morning Star Staff

Four robbery attempts in six hours kept Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP occupied Friday night. The attempts happened in Vernon, Armstrong and Enderby in a six-hour span between 5 and 11 p.m. “It was a horrible night for our officers,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The first call was a report of an attempted robbery just before 5 p.m. at The Pizza Factory located on the corner of 43rd Avenue and 29th Street beside MacDonald Park in Vernon. An unidentified man entered and passed a note to the clerk, saying this was a robbery. The clerk alerted the store owner in the back of the shop and he came out to confront the suspect with a large pizza knife. “The owner chased the suspect out of the store onto the street,” said Molendyk. “The suspect jumped on a bike and fled westbound on 43rd Avenue.” The suspect did not get any cash. He is described as 5-foot-2, 160-pounds, in his

mid-20s, believed to be either First Nations or Hispanic with short hair and pockmarked face. Around the same time in Enderby, at 5:05 p.m., police responded to a report of two men attempting to rob Enderby Jewellers in the 600 block of Cliff Avenue. The two men came in the store at separate times. The first was an older man, the second was described as younger, and it was he who produced a gun and demanded jewelry, including diamonds. “The clerk produced a tray of jewelry but when the suspect realized they weren’t diamonds, he and the other man left the store,” said Molendyk. A police service dog was called and they

tracked a scent to a nearby alley, where the scent disappeared. Police believe the suspects left in a vehicle. They are described as follows: the first suspect is an older man, 5-foot-10, slim build, late 40s, perhaps sporting a reddish-toned goatee, white dress shirt, black brimmed hat similar to a cowboy hat but not as big or wide, black pants, no jacket. The second suspect is 6-foot, 180-lbs, tanned-looking skin, wearing a black hoody with CANADA written across the front in white and red lettering, and the hood was pulled up over his head. At 7 p.m. in Vernon, police responded to a report of a robbery at Quality Greens, in the 4800 block of Anderson Way, where a man entered the store at closing time, produced a bag on the counter and told the clerk to give him the cash. “He also opened his jacket and showed the clerk what appeared to be the handle of a gun,” said Molendyk. As the suspect fled, an employee of the store chased after the suspect, caught him but was hit on the head by the suspect, who fled on foot northbound on Anderson Way.

The employee suffered a minor injury. The suspect in this case is described as a Caucasian man, mid-20s, clean-shaven, wearing a red or orange jacket with black sleeves and black on the shoulders, lighter blue jeans, black toque and gloves. And, shortly after 11 p.m., police in Armstrong responded to a report of a robbery at the Anchor Inn Liquor Store in the 2500 block of Pleasant Valley Boulevard. The clerk there said two men stole cash and the clerk’s vehicle. They also bound the clerk’s hands and made him lie on the floor. One of the suspects was wearing a full red snowsuit with toque and gloves. The other was wearing a blue jacket, gloves and a ball cap. “We are looking to see if the two robberies in Armstrong and Enderby may be connected, we’re just not 100 per cent sure,” said Molendyk. “Police do not believe there’s any connection between the two attempts in Vernon.” Anybody with any information on any of the robberies is asked to call the Vernon RCMP detachment at 250-545-7171, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Coldstream inks new parks pact

SeaSonal SongS

Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

They initiated it, they fought for it and now they are the first to sign it. With the long-awaited restructuring of parks coming into play, Coldstream is the first partner to ratify the memorandum of understanding for a new parks service. The agreement will see care and control of local parks be handed over to the area jurisdiction. For example, Coldstream will regain the Kalavista boat launch, Middleton Mountain Park and Lavington Park, which were previously managed by the Regional District of North Okanagan and maintained by Pat Cochrane Vernon under contract. Meanwhile some larger parks, such as Kal Beach, will become sub-regional parks, under RDNO. “It makes a lot more sense,” said Mayor Jim Garlick, who initiated the debate back in 2009 following frustrations over the current parks model. “We’ll be better in the end.” Coun. Pat Cochrane adds: “It’s not the agreement I thought we’d end up with but I’m impressed with what we did end up with.” With the management of its local parks, also comes some funds. Sixty per cent of existing development cost charges will be distributed with 16.36 per cent going to Coldstream. There is also $1 million from existing operating reserves to be distributed. Coldstream will receive $163,600. Once ratified by Vernon, Coldstream, Area B and Area C, a bylaw will be brought before the RDNO board in the new year. The service review committee will continue to develop separate solutions for a major facilities service as well as an arts, culture and youth service.

“For the college to listen, your community would have to do this for me if you are interested in helping me,” he said. “It is not my intention to gain a licence and leave your community quickly. I would be willing to sign a legal contract with the community.” Mayor Howie Cyr is frustrated with the circumstances facing Jones. “We have a physician that would be happy to be in a community like Enderby and he can’t get a licence,” said Cyr. “If the college (of physicians) is being overly bureaucratic, we need to shine a light on it.” The Interior Health Authority is recruiting physicians for Enderby and there is the possibility of at least one doctor arriving in the summer.

Police issue alert to pedestrians/motorists Some near misses involving pedestrians and vehicles have RCMP warning both motorists and those who prefer to walk. Police spokesperson Gord Molendyk said it’s the time of year when there’s a greater potential of pedestrians being hit by vehicles. “There have been several pedestrian-MVAs in the Lower Mainland and some near misses here, so we’re asking motorists to please pay attention while driving,” said Molendyk. “Watch the crosswalks. It gets dark earlier now and stays dark later in the morning.” The reminder goes both ways, as police ask pedestrians to keep alert as well. Make sure a vehicle is going to stop when you’re in the crosswalk, and don’t step off of a curb without assuring you can do so safely. Perhaps the biggest reminder for pedestrians is to wear light-coloured clothing, or clothing with reflective tape. “A lot of people wear darker clothing that doesn’t have reflective gear,” said Molendyk. “Know that

UBC. But when a second bus began in 2010, only Vernon picked up that cost. RDNO members have now agreed to fund the second bus and that required the creation of a funding service. The bylaw must now be approved by the provincial government and adoption from the RDNO board is required. RDNO is also looking at ways to expand capacity of the existing service. That would be done by adding two runs a day when university classes are in sessions and decreasing the runs during the offseason in the summer. Long-term, adding a third bus to the route is also being considered.

Setting priorities

here’s been a lot of talk about workload among politicians. At two separate meetings now, Greater Vernon Advisory Committee members have emphasized the number of major issues crowding their agendas and the challenges they are experiencing with actually dealing with them. “If we can bite these things off into smaller chunks, it would be easier,” said Mike Macnabb, chairperson. Now there’s no question that circumstances are daunting. A proposed peace to the parks dispute has been hammered out, and the focus now turns to restructuring the provision of recreation and cultural services. On top of this, a decision has been made to go back to the drawing board and reduce the scope and costs of a sports complex going before voters April 6. Richard Rolke There has also been a commitment to consider potential locations for a new art gallery and museum and how best to bring those concepts to taxpayers. Not to be forgotten, there’s an ongoing review into the master water plan, and at a possible price tag of $100 million, discussions about how best to proceed with utility upgrades will be complex. And for good measure, nothing will happen with any programs or planning unless a 2013 budget is inked. The problem, apparently, is there isn’t sufficient time during the allotted two-and-a-half hours once a month to sufficiently discuss all of the details and make a decision. “We have a lot of issues on the table and what’s happened is it comes to a meeting and we’re presented with background information that we have to deal with in a short time,” said

director Doug Dirk. Often these monthly meetings include delegations from community groups, and with the clock ticking, their presentations go into fast-forward. “We are hampered by time limitations because of other meetings on the same day. For the public, I don’t want to short-change them,” said Macnabb. Now there should be some sympathy for our elected officials. After all, they have agreed to represent the community’s interests when many of us are unwilling to vote, let alone seek public office. What they receive in financial compensation hardly makes up for the amount of time spent at meetings or reading endless piles of paper. But the reality is that issues are piling up like cord wood partly because of them. Conditions at the current art gallery and museum have been allowed to deteriorate over the years to the point of crisis. Yes, the possible $8.5 million borrowing for a sports complex needs to be revisited if there is any chance of voter assent, but why didn’t that process occur when the politicians first gave their blessing to the plan? There’s been no choice but to rip apart the parks, recreation and culture services because some partners have been unwilling to compromise and make changes within the existing structure. As for water, the need for costly upgrades is nothing new because the Interior Health Authority has been making major demands for years. Meeting schedules may be revised so GVAC directors can start wading through the backlog and bring some matters to a conclusion. But for residents who are used to long hours on the job, often with only minimum wage in return, concerns from politicians’ workload, will barely register. Their advice will likely be to put the nose to the grind stone and get ‘er done.

The RCMP CounterAttack road check program in December is a Christmas holiday tradition. And it’s time residents of the North Okanagan and Southern Interior got its message. CounterAttack, which is aimed at getting impaired drivers off the road, is 35 years old this year, having started back in 1977. The year before CounterAttack started – 1976 – more than 300 people were killed in impaired related crashes every year in B.C. Attitudes toward drinking and driving, of course, have changed considerably, and the RCMP keep repeating their message about its dangers, their repeated enforcement campaigns and how getting impaired drivers off the road remains a top priority. But in the 35 years since CounterAttack’s inception, an average of 113 lives are still lost each year, and impaired driving remains the second leading cause of car crash fatalities in B.C. Statistics released by ICBC show that, between 2007 and 2011, there were an average of 36 impaired-related crashes in the Southern Interior. That’s the most of B.C.’s four regions (32 in Lower Mainland, 25 in North Central and 21 on Vancouver Island). The message is being heard, but not heeded in our region. And that’s head-scratching. Because given the tough financial penalties, the possibility of a criminal record and the potential for loss of life, it’s a wonder anybody gets behind the wheel at all after having had several drinks. So take the advice of RCMP and the CounterAttack program. Don’t drink and drive, not just during the holidays but any time. Plan ahead, use alternate transportation or use a designated driver. Let’s all have a safe Christmas season.

Pipeline protest misses the point

here seems to be a group of people in the Okanagan who oppose the Northern Gateway Pipeline for reasons no one is sure. I question their knowledge on this subject. They are very adept at scaring children and people with no exposure to the oil and gas industry. While I do not have infinite expertise in the oil and gas business, I spent many years selling to and working with them. The first point I make is the composition, of our Canadian commodity, the oil sands. Yes, it is tar mixed with sand that is upgraded to become fluid enough to pump. Please note the word upgraded to raw crude. This crude will be bought by the Asian countries (if we build that pipeline) as well as the Americans. The Americans may reduce buying our crude soon, as they have found large deposits of their own crude on their own land. The second point is the economics of getting that crude to market. Presently we only have the U.S.A. as our main customer. Canadians also buy smaller amount of this crude, so guess who dictates the price for our greatest commodity (U.S.? ). The owner of this newspaper chain, Black Press

sCary Walk This letter is in response to the "Dangerous Drivers" letter in Nov. 14th's paper. I too have been through a similar situation. Walking down the new pathway from Okanagan College and down to the lights, I pushed the walk button and waited until it told me to walk. I was halfway down the road when a truck decided to keep on driving and was inches away from me before he slammed on the brakes. He didn't even look for a walker; surprising, as it is a frequent crosswalk for college students like myself. I clearly had 10 seconds left to walk, and I informed him of this, only to be cursed at. Actually expecting an apology, I was shocked to say the least. It's as if some drivers couldn't care less about pedestrians, bikers, or anything else that may want to have a moment on the road as well. I often wonder if that man ever thinks about the fact that he almost killed a student. Brooklyn kuzyk frustrated taxpayer Is it just me or have others noticed that our Regional District of North Okanagan/Greater Vernon

(Morning Star) proposes to build a refinery on B.C. land to upgrade this crude even further. But who will buy his product? The Asian countries won't buy it in refined form, because they have their own refineries that operate at much lower costs. If we don't meet their needs the Oil Producing Exporting Countries will.

Advisory Committee seems to not be too concerned about raising taxes for property owners? Our water costs have increased to the point where they must be some of the highest rates in Canada. For example, our household decreased our water consumption by 30 per cent for the quarter from July to September compared to the same period in 2011. Yet, my water bill increased by 15 per cent. This just doesn't make any sense to me. Also, did anyone else notice that we had a very hot summer with temperatures hovering above 30 degrees and yet, since the water rates have been increased, for some magical reason, water rationing was never implemented? One has to wonder why that was. Then we are supposedly going to have a referendum to, once again, increase our taxes for a sports complex at the college with an estimated cost of $8.5 million. There will probably be cost overruns as most government projects often incur. Additionally, there's the art gallery. They want $7 million to construct a new building. The museum is also looking for funding for a new building. On top of all of this, the district

has slipped in a tax hike by the alternative approval process for bus service for college/university students. When did this become the taxpayers' responsibility? My daughter had to pay for her own way to get to campus when she attended university. And all of these increases are going to occur while we, the taxpaying public, are still making mortgage payments on the Performing Arts Centre and Wesbild Centre. One has to ask how all of this can be paid for on the backs of property owners? It is getting to the point where my property taxes are now becoming a mortgage on my home. Between outrageous property taxes and service charges, no wonder businesses and individuals do not want to move here. It's just too expensive. And just how much of an effort are our local politicians making to bring new business to the area in the hopes of offsetting taxes that the average homeowner is paying? We cannot keep erecting all of these new buildings when our population base isn't increasing quickly enough to counteract the tax increases. Can our city and municipal officials not understand this? This has

Will B.C. residents pay for building a new refinery with a very poor market for its product? I see a huge tax increase coming if the present provincial government does not start talking and negotiating in good faith with Alberta and the proposed pipeline. Crude oil is Canada's greatest source of revenue. Now here is the scary part. The crude oil commodity feeds the coffers of our federal government, and the Christy Clark government. If she does not start talking to Alberta and Enbridge, she will really jeopardize our economy. Lots more jobs will disappear from the Okanagan. And our social services will be in great danger. We may see reduced education facilities, health facilities, even our CPP and OAP could be reduced substantially because we won't build a pipeline across our land. Even the NDP has no solution. Notice that the NDP has been very quiet about creating new jobs from the pipeline. We need to adopt a good business plan around this pipeline. We can't spend our way out of a failing economy. It will be too late. Cliff Wedgewood

In order to keep track of this a driver must be licensed and the vehicle registered so that the vehicle is traceable and ownership is clear. A rifle is a lethal weapon and it has a user. Users must be registered and take a course on using rifles. However, the lethal weapon itself is now not registered and so there is no trace on ownership – therefore of two lethal weapons, one the vehicle, is properly registered and traceable, but the rifle is not. This has all quietly gone on since the dismantling of the gun registry – not only has the registry gone, but so has the registration at the point of sale. Domestic violence is mostly done with rifles that are now not registerable. If you think that all weapons that are potentially lethal deserve registration in a civilized country you

There is going to be some disruption in services at Vernon Jubilee Hospital this week. As part of an ongoing labour dispute, pharmacists will reduce their work to essential services Thursday. On Friday, medical imaging technologists who conduct X-rays, CT scans, MRIs and ultrasounds will reduce their work to essential service levels. “Health science professionals have been at the bargaining table for eight months, and progress

has been very limited. In fact, at the last bargaining meeting, the employer was a no-show,” said Health Sciences Association president Reid Johnson. “As the weeks pass and we see fair and reasonable settlements reached with other public sector workers, our members want to know when it is they can expect government to show up and bargain a fair and reasonable contract?” Johnson says that while other health care workers get wage increases from the government,

health science professionals have been falling behind. “We are scheduled to return to bargaining this week, and hope this planned strike action gets the attention of the government to come to the table and negotiate a fair and reasonable agreement before we are forced to take action that inconveniences the public.” During the labour action, there will not be picket lines. However, union members will provide information to the public.

Kipling, whose artistic practice relates directly to the Okanagan landscape that surrounds her. Katie Brennan, now the curator of the Lake Country Art Gallery, has recently had her water-based paintings shown at a New York gallery. She is showing one of them at Headbones, while Westside artist Carin Covin is showing her text-based painting that vacillates between pattern and message. Katherine Pickering, who calls Vernon home, has imbued a resonating psychological mysticism with her work, while David Alexander is presenting a large piece fresh from his Penticton studio, lyrically titled Reluctant. Coldstream artist Heidi Thompson will feature her latest colour field painting, which Oakes describes as transcendently resplendent. Shuswap artists have also been welcomed to the fold with Jen Dyck’s

work that delightfully skews reality and Steve Mennie’s latest, which combines optical hard-edged precision with expressionism. Okanicon Iconagan will also introduce a large abstract painting by Robert Dmytruk, who has recently moved to the Okanagan from Edmonton, and the clean cut of Kevin Spetifore’s paper piece and Carl St. Jean’s cabinetry work. In Headbones’ Project Room, a selection of portraits from the 2000 exhibition, Artists and their Work, by Heidi Thompson will lend a short-term historical perspective to Okanicon Iconagan. The public is welcome to meet the artists and see their work on opening night, Saturday from 6 to 9 p.m. There will be a performance by Kelowna sound artist and UBCO professor Neil Cadger and Dale Zeitch on accordion. Headbones is located at 6700 Old Kamloops Rd. Call (250) 542-8987 for more information.

Two B.C. stringsmiths are about to take everything you previously thought about the violin and turn it on its head. Michael Fraser and Kytami don’t just put a bow to four strings, they have attuned their instruments to every kind of music from hip hop to Celtic to gypsy jazz and even dubstep. Anyone exp ec ting Mendelssohn’s violin concerto may want to think again. Getting these two together is more like Bowfire mixed with a Shambhala rave, as audiences will hear and see when the two cutting-edge violinists bring their Beats, Strings and Life tour to the intimate surrounds of The Hub in Vernon Sunday. Both artists have similar beginnings, studying classical music at the Vancouver Academy of Music, but then their paths soon diverged outwards to other musical styles. Kytami (born Kyla Uyede, now LeBlanc) has gone from performing classical and Celtic fiddle, which she perfected after moving to Whistler and playing in bands at an Irish pub, to churning them with heavy bass elements of electronic music and hip hop. “I didn’t even know it could be done, then I saw a band called Breakestra out of L.A. and they had a cello player with a live hip hop/funk band. That was a big influence,” she said. Kytami melded those influences when she helped found and wrote songs for Celticmeets-Bhangra-meets electonica band Delhi 2 Dublin, whom she performed and toured the world with from 2006 to 2010. She has also appeared on albums released by Swollen

Members, Sweatshop Union, The Rebel Spell, and has collaborated with bands such as Third Eye Tribe, Goatsblood and legendary dub producer The Mad Professor. More recently she has released her second full-length self-titled album, and has been working with DJs and well as turntablist/producers such as The PhonoGraff, whom she performed with in Vernon earlier this year at a dance put on by the Komasket Music Festival. “I like to see people express themselves in a different way. Really, who wants to sit in an orchestra and play music that’s been played so many times before? It’s way more fun to be creative and blend it with different music and write music,” she said. Fraser, in turn, has combined his talents playing violin with popular Vancouver flamenco fusion ensemble Tambura Rasa (also a Komasket regular) as well as gypsy jazz with spinning vinyl as a DJ. Heavily influenced by jazz

violinist Stuff Smith and gypsy violinist Stephane Grappelli, Fraser has travelled to European festivals who deeply appreciate the music of gypsy legend Django Reinhardt. “It took a lot of practise. Like most kids who go through the classical methods, I didn’t enjoy practising when I was younger as much as I do now,” he said. “I think there was a point when I was 11 or 12 and discovered my favourite jazz violinist, Stuff Smith. I listened to his CDs all night long. This was when I thought, I wanna play like that.” Besides violins, bow strings and resin, Fraser’s music room is also laid out with turntables, keyboards and computer equipment, which he uses to produce gangsta rap and hip-hop beats. He is equally comfortable with production styles used in electro, techno and disco house. As a solo performer, he has appeared at Salmo’s Shambhala Music Festival and has opened for Talib Kweli, DJ Fashen, Bit Funk, Jeremy Sole and others. His work with Tambura Rasa, who he has now parted ways with, earned him and the band two nomiFOR ADVANCE TICKETS GO TO nations in the best world cineplex.com album category at the POLSON PLACE MALL #275 - 2306 HIGHWAY #6, VERNON TEL: 250-542-1107 Western Canadian Music **NO PASSES MET OPERA - Tickets Now On Sale!

The Vernon Film Society is pleased to announce that the last film of the 2012 fall season is Inescapable. Three years ago, director Ruba Nadda won over cinema-goers around the world with the touching romance Cairo Time, a Film Circuit People’s Choice Award winner in 2009. This year, she reteams with her Cairo Time star Alexander Siddig for the highly anticipated political thriller Inescapable, which premiered as a gala presentation at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival. Successful Syrian-Canadian Adib (Siddig: Miral, Syriana) lives a comfortable life in Toronto with his loving wife and two college-aged daughters. On a typical afternoon at work, he receives a devastating piece of news. While vacationing in Greece, his eldest daughter secretly took a detour to Damascus – and vanished. Frantic, Adib immediately makes plans to return to Syria after more than 30 years. As Adib places a series of covert phone calls and makes secret rendezvous with former contacts, it gradually becomes clear that he was once a major player in the Syrian resistance movement. Aided by the ex-fiancée he left behind (Marissa Tomei: The Ides of March, The Wrestler) and a

dubious Canadian embassy official (Joshua Jackson: TV’s Fringe, One Week), Adib wades through vague clues, government subterfuge, and a web of conspiracies that stand between him and his daughter. When the regime discovers his former identity and accuses his daughter of being a spy, Adib must once again take up arms and fight for what he holds most dear. Nadda spent four years as a teenager living in Damascus, which surely informs her convincing evocation of the climate of paranoia that is cultivated by totalitarian regimes. Along with its chillingly authentic atmosphere, Inescapable poses a series of vital, ethically charged questions. What happens if the past won’t stay in the past? What desperate lengths could someone go to if their former life threatens the new life they’ve spent decades painstakingly building? Expertly building the tension to a fever pitch, Nadda withholds her answers until the final, nail-biting minutes. Inescapable shows at the normal regular times of 5:15 and 7:45 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 10 at the Vernon Towne Cinema on 30th Avenue. Tickets are available at the door and one week ahead at the theatre and the Bean Scene for $7.

A Scotsman shares his story

Morning Star Staff

the canadian school of ballet

❘

Life

www.vernonmorningstar.com

When Ian Moore-Morrans looks back on his childhood on the coast of Scotland, it isn’t with what could be called affection. But the cold, the damp, the constant hunger and life of poverty have made for a fascinating life story, which forms the basis for the Vernon author’s memoir, From Poverty to Poverty: A Scotsman Encounters Canada. Moore-Morrans sets the stage from the first chapter, The Cold and Hungry Early Years: “Thinking back on my early childhood, the most miserable overall time was when it was evening, dark outside, middle of winter, clothes damp and cold from the rain, no oil for the lamp, no candles either, which meant no light of any kind in the dump we lived in, no fire to warm me a wee bit and no food.” Sipping a cup of hot coffee while sitting in the cozy — and warm — Vernon home he shares with his wife, Gayle Moore-Morrans, Ian explains that he was bitten by the writing bug at the age of 60. His first novel, Beyond the Phantom Battle: Mystery at Lock Ashie, was published in 2010. The idea for a memoir began when, as a recent immigrant to Canada, his late wife, Mary, used to send him to the grocery store. “As I was going through the checkout, my Scottish accent always gave me away and inevitably one of the girls would tell me their grandfather was Scottish but they never knew anything about him. “So I told my wife I was going to write my life story so my grandchildren and two daughters would know about their roots — I think they need to know where I come from.” A retired machinist, the Scottish-Canadian grew up in Campbeltown on the Kintyre Peninsula, Argyll, Scotland. Ian and his brother were raised by their single mother during the Depression of the ‘30s and subsequent years of the Second World War.

“We had no bread winner and of course there was nothing in the way of social services in those days. I used to put cardboard in my shoes after the soles wore out. “It was a pretty bleak childhood, with all of us living in the attic, just 10 feet by 10 feet, with a table, a bed and a dresser. All four of us slept in one bed: me, my brother, my mother and my grandmother.” Ian has lived in various places all over Canada since emigrating from Scotland in 1965. “I was doing well in Scotland by this point but I had itchy feet. “I wanted to go to Australia, but an unscrupulous government agent encouraged me to select Canada and told me all of the good things about it, that there was no crime in Toronto, that you could buy a house for $200, and that there were no slums.” With a job lined up for him as a machinist, Ian brought his wife and young daughters across the Atlantic only to discover the job had fallen through. Living in Ontario, he worked a series of shortterm jobs, including a stint as a Wonderbread salesman. “In Scotland, I had a nice council house and I wasn’t one for going to the pub and spending my money, so it was difficult to give up the life we had there.” Told with honesty and plenty of humour, From Poverty to Poverty has been compared to Frank McCourt’s acclaimed memoir, Angela’s Ashes. Like the late Irish author, Ian has an uncanny ability to recall conversations and specific details, from his childhood, to his time in the Royal Air Force, from raising children with Mary, to coming to Canada and the subsequent poverty in which they lived for the first few years. With Gayle as his editor, Ian began working on his book a number of years ago, writing down everything he remembered. “I had no outline, no notes, I just kept on writing as it came to me. It was painful at times to look back and I get emotional. The last time I went back I told my late wife, ‘that’s it for Scotland for me. I’m never going back.’” Published by Friesen Press in Victoria, From Poverty to Poverty is filled with photos detailing Ian’s life, but only from a certain stage. “He has no photos of his childhood, the first one was

Ian’s book, From Poverty to Poverty: A Scotsman Encounters Canada, has just been published. taken when he was 14 and in the Salvation Army band,” said Gayle. Besides writing, Ian specializes in singing Scottish ballads while outfitted in full-kilt regalia. He and Gayle, a retired editor, sing, write, edit and relax in Vernon since moving here from Mexico in 2008. In addition to his novel and memoir, Ian has also published a how-to ebook, Metal Machining Made Easy, in 2002. The second volume of his memoir, Came to Canada, Eh? is now under way. Ian and Gayle were both widowed when they met in 2003 in Winnipeg. “When we were courting, he showed me the book, which was then just stacks of paper, rather than an actual book. And I thought it was wonderful, but he needed an editor as he wrote in a sort of ‘streamof-consciousness’ style.” They were married three months after their first meeting and Gayle, a magazine editor, took an early retirement in 2004. After selling their house, they bought a motor home and

left Winnipeg to explore retirement in Mexico, eventually settling on the shores of Lake Chapala, a large community of English-speaking ex-patriots. Joining the Lake Chapala Society Writers’ Group, they met writers from around the world. Returning to Canada in 2007, the couple spent a year in Penticton before moving to Vernon. The public is invited to readings for From Poverty to Poverty: A Scotsman Encounters Canada at the Moore-Morrans residence, Lakepointe, #69, 6688 Tronson Rd. (just west of the airport) Dec. 13, at 2 p.m. and again at 7:30 p.m. Please RSVP to 250-275-1446 or gayleian@gmail.com. Signed books will be for sale. Since Dec. 13 is St. Lucia Day (the beginning of the Christmas season in Sweden) and Gayle’s heritage is Swedish, St. Lucia baking, some Scottish goodies, coffee and tea will be served. The book is available online through Chapters, Amazon, Barnes and Noble and can be ordered through booksellers or directly from the author.

‘Tis the season for chocolate

hristmas season wouldn’t be the same without chocolate; chocolate cookies, squares, bars, cakes, drinks, you name it, it’s an essential to Canadian Christmases today. Even though chocolate is regularly eaten for pleasure, there are potentially many health effects, both negative and positive. I choose to expound on the positive today. Cocoa or dark chocolate may positively affect the circulatory system, have anticancer benefits, be a brain stimulator, cough preventor and have antidiarrheal activities, but an aphrodisiac effect is yet unproven. According to research, limited amounts of dark chocolate appear to help prevent heart disease. A BBC report indicated that melting chocolate in one’s mouth produced an increase in brain activity and heart rate that was more intense than that associated with passionate

kissing, and also lasted four times as long after the activity had ended. So I say ‘tis the season of chocolate; don’t deprive yourself of brain stimulation! Today I have two Christmas recipes that use delicious chocolate. Enjoy. Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars 1 cup creamy peanut butter 6 tablespoons butter, softened 1 1/4 cups sugar 3 eggs 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1 cup flour 1/4 tsp. salt 2 cups chocolate chips Preheat oven to 350 F. In large mixing bowl, beat peanut butter and butter until smooth, about 1 minute. Add sugar, eggs and vanilla, and beat until creamy. Blend in flour and salt. Stir in 1 cup of the chocolate chips. Spread into ungreased 13x9 inch baking pan. Bake 25-30 minutes, or until

edges begin to brown. Immediately sprinkle remaining morsels over cookie layer. Let stand 5 minutes until morsels become shiny and soft. Spread the rest of the chocolate chips evenly over top. Cool completely. Kisses Chocolate Chip Cookies (a Chipits recipe) 48 Chips Mini Kisses brand milk chocolate baking pieces (approx.) 1 cup butter or margarine 1/3 cup granulated sugar 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar 1 tsp. vanilla extract 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup Chipits Mini Chips Semi-Sweet

Engineering students working on the Vernon transit project are Alex Schuirmann (left), Luke Friesen, Sandra Iroegbu and Cody Marwood.

How to coax residents from a Vernon neighbourhood to park their cars and get active is the challenge facing four students in the School of Engineering at the University of B.C. Okanagan. The initiative will see students develop a neighbourhood active travel plan for East Hill residents. Active travel focuses on walking, cycling and transit as a primary means of transportation.

Public Notice of Open House Westside Road Improvements

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure invites the public to attend an information session regarding widening improvements as part of an upcoming project on Westside Road, south of Wilson’s Landing at Blue Grouse Road. These improvements will increase safety and mobility on Westside Road. The project is in the development stages and the Ministry is inviting the public to provide input at this time. Ministry staff will be on-hand to provide information and answer questions. This drop-in open house is scheduled for the following date and time: Tuesday December 11, 2012 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Wilson’s Landing Fire Station 2396 Westside Road Kelowna, B.C. For more information, please contact Scott McKenzie, Project Management Technician, at 250 828-4320 or at Scott.McKenzie@gov.bc.ca

“Vernon is a highly automobile-dependent community, with most trips taken via singleoccupant vehicles,” said Gord Lovegrove, associate professor and project supervisor. “If this trend continues as Vernon grows, residents will experience increased traffic congestion, vulnerability to an increase in chronic diseases and obesity, decreased air quality, and increased greenhouse gas emissions.” The city of Vernon is keen to tackle these issues and its transportation plan focuses on transit, cycling and walking initiatives, setting the target for 2031 of 20 per cent of trips by foot or bicycle. “This pilot project is expanding on the successes of the city’s previous planning, programming, engineering and infrastructure upgrades,” said Wendy Majewski, the city’s transportation demand management co-ordinator with the City of Vernon. Fourth-year engineering students Luke Friesen, Sandra Iroegbu, Cody Marwood and Alex Schuirmann will begin their work by surveying East Hill residents to develop a benchmark database of current travel modes, as well as identifying barriers to active transportation. Using the data and current research into active transportation models that have been successful in other cities, students will then create a series of recommendations to encourage active modes of travel. “As a final step, stuMoTI Ad #949 A dent engineers will creRoad OPen ate an Westside implementation strategy for the East Morning Star Hill Vernon neighbourhood active travel plan that 195 lines could serve as a model (3 cloumns x 65 lines) for other Vernon neighbourhoods, and pres4.64” ent it 4.31” to theXcity, ” said Lovegrove. “This plan will include infrastructure upgrade designs needed to enhance and encourage the active travel plan, as well as an educational component.”

Auction aids community living Morning Star Staff

Nearly $13,000 was raised for the Vernon and District Association for Community Living at the ninth annual celebration of trees and art auction, held recently at the Best Western Vernon Lodge. A crowd of more than 200 bid on over 100 silent and 25 live auction items made by program participants with VDACL. The top-selling art piece at $350 was a multi-media textured presentation titled Why A and involved over a dozen program participants in making the piece. “The themed trees photo submitted

ranged from traditional to fishing, camping and Mexican,” said Vernon auctioneer Kevin Rothwell. The top-selling tree was a whimsical tree in all white with a black top hat and skates, titled Hank Snow, which sold to Dave Chamber of DCT Chambers Trucking for $550. “The community support was tremendous,” said Rothwell. “Scotiabank sponsored a tree titled A Hawaiian Christmas which sold for $325 and the bank then matched the auction bid.’’ Vernon’s Towne Cinema also sponsored a tree complete with 40 movie passes.

A highlight of Christmas celebrations in Enderby is the Santa Claus parade on Friday.

Enderby ready to welcome Christmas richard rolke Morning Star Staff

There’s a weekend full of festivities to get Enderby residents in the holiday spirit. The annual Christmas celebration begins Friday and runs through Sunday. “We’re trying to provide a fun community event that’s free,” said Craig Bell, with the organizing committee. “The main reason is to bring the community together.” On Friday, M.V. Beattie Elementary students will decorate the community tree at

10 a.m. At 4:30 p.m., a barbershop quartet will provide songs of the season and then there’s the Santa Claus parade downtown at 6 p.m. “It’s a very popular event and getting bigger this year,” said Bell of the parade. “This is the first chance to see Santa. He loves Enderby.” Residents will then gather at the bridge at 6:30 p.m. and there will be a candlelight walk to the gazebo. “There will be singers along the River Walk,” said Bell. Once at the gazebo, there

will be a live nativity, free hayrides, entertainment, a bonfire and free soup. The Enderby Lions will provide hot dogs and hamburgers by donation. “Last year, we had about 500 people there and every year it grows,” said Bell. On Saturday, the Enderby Community Resource Centre will offer photographs with Santa Claus at Enderby Evangelical Chapel at 10 a.m. There is also a chance to let your creativity shine. The Enderby and District Credit Union is hosting a best

decorated house contest and the prize is a $250 B.C. Hydro credit. “For the last two years, the people who won made their own creations. We are looking for originality,” said Bell. On Sunday, there will be a free Christmas dinner for residents at the Enderby Seniors Complex at 4:30 p.m. “Please make a reservation by calling 250-838-7527,” said Bell. And the festivities wrap up at 6:30 p.m. with a Christmas pageant at Enderby Evangelical Chapel.

Once approved, you can choose the appropriate finance plan that best suits your needs. Make sure to ask about the details of the finance plan you decide to go with. Furniture, appliances, mattresses and electronics can all be financed.

Home Checking Services

Q: A:

I’m going away for an extended period. What do I need to know about having my home looked after while I’m away? Insurance companies require that homes be checked regularly. Otherwise, your insurance coverage may be invalid. Check with your insurance broker to find out how often your home must be checked to ensure your coverage remains in force. This varies among companies - from weekly to every 3-4 days. In some cases, turning off the water will extend the time between mandatory checks. You can sometimes arrange for family & friends to look after your home, but insurance adjusters prefer regular documented checks made by a reputable professional home supervision company. Comfort Home Supervision Services will draw up a list with you of checks to be made in your home while you are away. We also document each visit with time-dated photographs of all key rooms. In the event of a disaster, these photographs are evidence of the condition of your home taken within days or even hours. We can also arrange other services such as snow removal & minor home repairs.

Why does my home feel cooler in the winter than it does in the summer when I have the temperature set the same?

Great question! Cold temperatures in winter also bring dryer air inside our homes unless you have a humidifier to control the humidity level. Dry winter air will make you feel cooler than humid air at the same temperature level, so many people end up bumping up their temperatures in the winter to maintain the same comfort level - forcing furnaces to work a little harder. Dry air can also cause dry or sore throats, dry eyes, nosebleeds, irritated mucous membranes and itchy skin. It can also aggravate allergy and asthma symptoms. Lastly, dry air can also draw the moisture out of porous materials like wood, leading to cracked furniture and woodwork. As a result, many wood floor manufacturers have “humidity clauses” in their warranties requiring the home owner to maintain humidity levels in the 30-40% range to maintain a valid warranty. So there are many practical benefits for controlling humidity in the home. There are also several types of whole-house humidifiers on the market today; but I recommend a steam powered humidifier that has a small built-in water reservoir and a heating element. Whenever there is a call for humidity, the water is boiled and the resulting steam is injected into your ductwork to mix with the heated air from your furnace or heat pump. These humidifiers are currently the most efficient and effective method of controlling the humidity in your home during the winter. Give me a call or pop into our showroom to see one in action!

‘The Home Watch Experts’

Q: A:

My Personal Trainer tells me that I may inadvertently be increasing my food intake because of the intensity of my workouts. Is that true?

When someone works out really hard, like all-out cardio, when they finish they oftentimes feel ravenous. And then they tell themselves that since they worked out hard and burned off so many calories, they have a perfect excuse to buy themselves that triple chocolate bar that passes off as an excuse for protein...but in reality is filled with sugar and worse ingredients. Then they go home and eat a heavy meal because now they have built an appetite. And because they’re tired, they sit and watch TV. When you compare how much they ate with their general day’s activity, they have oftentimes eaten far more than was appropriate. This is how the vicious cycle perpetuates itself. So ease off on your workouts, and don’t allow yourself the excuse of eating garbage. Stick with “Real Foods”!

Lakers rule provincial court Morning Star Staff

The last public school to claim the B.C. Senior AA Girls Volleyball title was the 2003 Kalamalka Lakers coached by Maria Hansen. With history and a pro-Kal crowd on their side, the No. 5-ranked Lakers won another provincial championship Saturday in Nanaimo, stopping the Pacific Academy Breakers of Surrey 3-1 (25-19, 25-19, 26-28. 25-23) in the final. Jeff Huggins, the school viceprincipal who stepped in to coach the Lakers for Hansen this year, loved his team’s compete level despite being underdogs in some matches. “These girls were so focused during the tournament and put everything on the line,” said Huggins. “They defeated the No. 2 Surrey Christian, No. 3 Langley Fundamental, No. 4 Pacific Academy and No. 6 College Heights to win the championship.” Kalamalka started the final with a kill from tournament MVP Daralyn Schepp and the Lakers started to roll. They attacked and controlled the first set while the Breakers appeared to be the nervous bunch. The Lakers controlled the first two sets with strong serving and passing. “The girls were ready to play and exuded confidence,” said Huggins. “We had a balanced attack with hitting from Kaelyn Parmelee, Vicki Schley and Toni Vandenbrink. “Megan Squair was a phenomenal setter throughout the tournament as she directed the attack. Her on-court presence and game

Senior aa Girls Volleyball Championships in Nanaimo. management helped her teammates shine. “Sam Bienias provided great back-row play, passing several tough serves and would-be kills. Each time Daralyn Schepp was set up, back row or front row, the crowd would erupt as the Breakers had trouble passing her attacks.” The third set was a battle of huge kills and incredible digs. Not more than three points separated the teams and Pacific Academy refused to surrender. Parmelee’s leadership steadied Kal and she made several critical passes, serves and kills throughout

the match. Down in the fourth set, Emily Thorlakson put up a couple of big blocks and killed another to help the Lakers climb out of an early deficit. “All-around hustle and determination embodies Vicki Schley,” said Huggins. “Her serving was critical and she made numerous digs and pounded several line shots.” In a desperate situation, the Lakers were down 22-19 in the fourth set. After the timeout, Kal earned the next point and Schley started serving and put the Lakers ahead. Schepp sealed the title as

her serve was poorly received and it touched the gym’s ceiling. “Alexa Tymkiw, Jordan Korol, Ann Stewart and Kaely Johnson provided the team with additional support throughout the tournament,” noted Huggins. In the earlier semifinals, Kal brushed back Surrey Christian 3-1 (23-25, 25-19, 25-19, 25-23). The top-ranked Elphinstone Cougars of Gibsons took the bronze medal by sweeping Surrey Christian. There was a field of 16 with St. Patrick’s Celtics of Vancouver chosen Most Sportsmanlike Team.

Vandenbrink (first team) and Parmelee (second) made the allstar teams. Meanwhile, the VSS Panthers finished fourth as projected at the B.C. Senior AAA Girls Volleyball Championships at Little Flower Academy and Crofton House in Vancouver. Ranked fourth going into the Sweet 16, Keith Becker’s crew made the semifinals Saturday morning against the No. 1 Seaquam Seahawks of Delta. The Seahawks prevailed 3-0 (25-15, 25-13, 25-9. The Nanaimo Islanders then turned back the Panthers 2-1 (2522, 22-25, 15-8) in the bronzemedal match Saturday night. The Little Flower Angels stopped Seaquam for the gold medal. “The girls all played great, and it took the whole team to maintain fourth place,” said Becker, assisted by Chris August. Avery Bridge of the Cats was a first team all-star, while Searra Becker earned a second-team spot. The rest of the Panthers: Kelsey Tkachuk, Maddy Sawka, Danika Damini, Quinsy Leier, Ashtyn McKenzie, Joelle Wassing, Shanaya Pol, Sage Blundell, Mary Rice, Karly Fugel and Hannah Nesbitt. The Vernon Christian Royals grounded the Sparwood Spartans 2-0 (25-19, 25-22) Saturday to place fifth at the B.C. Senior A Boys Championships at UBC Okanagan. The Kelowna Christian Knights won the 12-team tourney. Travis Hoogland of Vernon was named to the second all-star team, while teammate Sam Koch was an honourable mention.

39-save performance to help the Vipers earn a 3-2 comeback win over the Warriors Saturday night at Wesbild. Braedan Russell, with his first of the season, pegged Vernon to a lead just two minutes into the game before Seb Lloyd resumed his weekend scoring spree for the Warriors. After recording a hat trick in Friday’s 7-1 win over Vernon, Lloyd opened West Kelowna’s account in the final minute of the first period. The shifty Prince George product then drew a tripping penalty on Viper d-man Geoff Crisfield, and converted on the resulting powerplay to give his team the lead with his fifth goal of the weekend. That seemed to suck the life out of the building until Logan Mick (2nd goal) provided the equalizer on a gorgeous passing play with Michael Roberts on an odd-man rush. “Coach was yelling at me 3-on-2, and I saw Mike coming in so I dropped it to him and he made a nice play and threw it back to me,” smiled Mick, 16. Vernon assistant coach Dave Robinson said the reunited line of Mick, Roberts and Mitch McAllister was perhaps Vernon’s best unit Saturday. “They turned the game around for us,” he said. “Even before the goal, they were creating all the energy.

Vipers push back after penalty woes Continued from A30

“We need our secondary scoring to pick up here. We can’t be having Tamby (Adam Tambellini) scoring all our goals.” After enduring a string of penalties (the crowd booed referee Korey Martens for several questionable calls) to start the third period, the Vipers finally converted on their own powerplay for the winner. Liam Board (6th), scoring his first as a Viper, corralled a Michael Statchuk point shot and calmly faked netminder Tyler Biggs (23 saves), earning a huge round of cheers from 1,700 fans (minus the alwayslively West Kelowna contingent). “We had a real good first 10 minutes – we pressured them hard and played well and then they pushed back and had some chances at the end of the first,” said Smith. “We kept pushing and pushing and dealt with the penalties. It’s a lot of adversity guys go through and deal with and it’s not easy. The guys know they can come back in a game now.” Former Viper Marcus Basara, fifth in league scoring with 16-17-33 in 26 games, wore the ‘C’ in place

of injured captain Max French. The smooth-skating Port Moody native liked his team’s effort, especially considering the absence of injured forwards Brett McKinnon and David Pope. “When you have a game like we did (Friday) night, a bit of a blowout, you’re going to expect a team that’s going to come back and play hard. “I think we matched that over the first two periods and even into the third. Just some of the bounces didn’t go our way tonight.” On his own success this season, Basara added: “I’ve found some chemistry with Lloyd and (David) Pope early. Things have been a little jumbled up here with injury but I’m still just trying to play hard every night.” SNAKE BITES: A minor skirmish broke out between a handful of Vernon and visiting West Kelowna fans following Saturday’s game. Rink security, aided by several level-headed spectators, did a good job of preventing it from escalating into anything serious...West Kelowna’s Matthew Berry-Lamontagna used a 25-pound size advantage to overpower the Vipers’ Colton Sparrow in a second-period scrap.

Eagles halt Knights’ three-game streak Morning Star Staff

They are at the midway point in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League and the North Okanagan Knights sit in a three-way tie for fifth overall among 20 teams. Three-year veteran Tanner Burns believes the Knights can get better after losing 3-1 to the host Sicamous Eagles Saturday night. The Knights visit the Chase Heat tonight before entertaining the Revelstoke Grizzlies Friday night. “We gotta get more consistent,” said Burns, who scored in the third period Saturday. “Being a younger team, we have some mental breakdowns so we have to learn to fight through adversity.” Brayden Taekema, with his seventh of the season, and Kelyn Opel, with his

13th, gave Sicamous a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes. Burns netted his team-leading 17th, from Matty Saharchuk. The Knights pressed for the equalizer before giving up an empty-netter to Connor Fynn (his fifth) with 42 seconds left. “We had a bit of a struggle at the start, but we played well,” added Burns. “We had lots of chances, but had problems burying the puck. Their goalie (Jack Surgenor) played well. To hold us to one goal, he deserves some credit.” The 17-8-0-1 Knights fell two points behind the Doug Birks Division-leading Eagles. Both teams have registered 102 goals, while the Knights have given up three less (75). North Okanagan outshot Sicamous 30-25 with Austin Buzzell going the dis-

tance for the Knights. Burns said the Knights will not be expecting a guaranteed win tonight in Chase, where the 7-19-2-1 Heat have just welcomed back a pair of former players. Vernon’s Mike Keyes, a 6-foot1, 175-pound defenceman, and Marc Mackenzie, a 6-foot-3, 200-pound forward, re-joined the Heat last weekend. They are both 19. Keyes, is a former Knight and a rocksolid shut-down blueliner. Mackenzie, a one-time Prince Albert Raider list, pocketed 3-6-9 in 31 games with the WHL Red Deer Rebels, and 8-10-18 with the Heat last year. He hails from Kelowna. Forward Justin Murray, 19, who has some KIJHL experience, is practising with the Knights. He may take the roster spot of forward Owen Barker, who quit the team to work up north.

No. 1 Murray Bennetto of Vernon takes on second-seeded Andrew Braff of Kelowna in a Squash B.C.-ranked match. Both players are ranked in the top20 in the province.

Holiday Gift Guide Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder A LOT OF LARGE PAGES GIVE VALUE FOR MONEY Perhaps the best value for money is a world championship book. Each offers more than 300 pages packed with deals, photos and information about the various titles up for grabs. This deal, from the 2010 World Women’s Pairs Championship, shows the advantage of playing in a contract with declarer’s hand effectively unknown. The winners were Lynn Deas and Beth Palmer from the United States. This was their first board in the final session. Deas (North) opened two diamonds, showing a weak two-bid in either major. Commonly known

as the Multi, this bid enjoys considerable popularity around the planet, but is permitted in the United States only in major events. Palmer (South) was happy to play in game, so jumped to four clubs, asking her partner to bid the suit below her real suit. In this way, South became the declarer in four spades. (Most pairs declared from the North side, which made the defense much easier. The defenders took one trick in each side suit and, if East led a club, a club ruff.) Against Palmer, West, who had no winning lead, aggressively chose the club king. South won with her ace, cashed her top trumps, then played a diamond to

dummy’s jack. East took her ace and, thinking her partner had the club queen, returned a club. Declarer won with dummy’s jack, drew the last trump, and ran the diamonds, discarding dummy’s heart. Plus 480 was a complete top for Deas and Palmer.

Lily (Mickey) Miller

Lily (Mickey) Miller was born on February 21, 1928 in Chipman, Alberta, and passed away on November 29, 2012 in Vernon, BC. Predeceased by her loving husband of 65 years, Marcel (2010), she is survived by her children: Gregory, Bradley, Morley (Alison), and Coleen (Stephen), and grandchildren: Lynsey, Michael, Janelle, and Jennifer, and her sister Elsie (Clare). Mickey grew up in East Vancouver and married Marcel in 1946 when he returned from the Royal Canadian Navy after WW2. They lived in Marcel’s home town of East Coulee, Alberta, until moving to Prince George in 1952. Mickey worked at the local RCMP detachment for 16 years and housed many young recruits. She retired in 1991 and was honored as being part of the RCMP family for providing care, wisdom and guidance to rookie policemen in Prince George. To this day, many consider Mickey as a second Mom. Mickey loved to entertain and was renowned for her cooking, baking, ¿ne dinners and hospitality. She felt blessed to have so many good friends and wonderful neighbors at Sandpiper. A heartfelt thank you from the family to all her friends that came to show their love, support and care for Mom during her brief illness. Special thanks to Dr. Coetzer and Dr. Barnard as well as Interior Health Home Support Services for their excellent care. Thank you to the Vernon Hospice House, all the staff and volunteers for their wonderful and compassionate care. Mickey will be reunited with Marcel at a brief graveside service at St. Nicholas’ Cemetery on December 7, 2012 at 1:30 p.m. followed by a celebration of her life at the Sandpiper clubhouse in Vernon. In lieu of Àowers, donations can be made to the Vernon Hospice House. Arrangements are in the care of Vernon Funeral Home 250-542-0155.

The Village of Lumby Zoning Bylaw No. 750, 2012 proposes to replace the Village of Lumby Zoning Bylaw No. 395, 1986, which divides properties within the Village into zones and stipulates regulations regarding uses, densities, siting, sizing and dimensions of buildings permitted in each zone. The proposed new Zoning Bylaw No. 750, 2012 incorporates the existing regulations outlined in Zoning Bylaw No. 395, 1986 and proposes to: • Formulate regulations related to steel cargo containers in industrial zones and to prohibit containers in all other zones; • Incorporate regulations for retaining walls in residential zones; • Incorporate regulations to permit laying hens on any lot that contains a single family dwelling or manufactured home and is zoned Rural or Residential (except the Residential Manufactured Home Park (R.5) zone); • Require one off-street parking stall for home occupations in addition to the off-street parking stalls required for the dwelling(s) located on the property; • Permit drive-through restaurants in the General Commercial (C.1) zone; • Revise the off-street parking regulations to: permit tandem parking for single family dwellings; regulate driveways associated with drive-through restaurants; and update the parking requirements associated with retail commercial and restaurant uses; • Ensure that the Zoning Bylaw complies with the Provincial Riparian Areas Regulation; • Raise minimum lot size standards to 1.0 ha for lots without community sewer; • Identify secondary suites as a permitted use within single family dwellings located on rural and residential zoned lots. All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by this Bylaw shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the above Bylaw. Copies of the proposed Bylaw may be inspected at the ofﬁce of the Village of Lumby from December 3, 2012 through December 10, 2012 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding statutory holidays. The Bylaw is also available for reference on the Village’s website at www.lumby.ca. For further information, please contact Greg Routley, Deputy Planning Manager at (250) 550-3734 or by e-mail at greg. routley@rdno.ca. NO SUBMISSIONS TO COUNCIL WILL BE RECEIVED FOLLOWING THE CONCLUSION OF THE PUBLIC HEARING. Tom Kadla Administrator

handle the expected demands from an aging population over the next 25 years, particularly Baby Boomers who are now starting to retire. The first phase of the committees work was to look at the demographic shift that will occur over the next 25 years. A report on that phase was issued late last month by the committee — which includes MLA members from both the Liberals and the NDP. The next phase of the committee’s mandate is to look at ways to mitigate the impact of the coming wave of “boomers” on the system. For Letnick, a focus on health care and how it will be paid for is personal. He is currently pursuing a doctorate in health economics from UBC. Letnick said because the issue is so important to the province’s future — both from a societal and financial perspective — it’s important all British Columbians have a say on the issue. He points to $1 billion being provided for facilities at Kelowna General Hospital and Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Letnick said he feels the work of the standing committee will likely not be wrapped up before the next provincial election and it will likely need to be reconstituted by whichever party wins the next B.C. election in May 2013. In the meantime, while agricultural issues obviously take up much of his time, Letnick said he plans to continue talking to constituents about health care, write his monthly columns on health care and host public meetings on health issues. The next meeting is expected to be on heart disease and will be held in January, he said.

A local credit union served up smiles for one of the most anticipated events on the calendar at Kindale Developmental Association. Kindale’s annual Community Christmas Lunch is a way of saying

thank you to the community for its appreciated support. This year VantageOne Credit Union donated 20 turkeys, which were served up at the Armstrong event Tuesday. The lunch is the highlight of the season

for many people. It is a chance to catch up with old friends and make new ones. Carrie has been attending for many years, snapping memories of the event with her camera. Asked what she likes best, Carrie

responds, “the dark meat and skin of the turkey and the music!” “Everyone has the opportunity to get involved”, laughs B Elliott, Kindale’s controller and chief dishwasher, “Even cleaning up can be fun!” “It’s my favourite Kindale event of the year,” enthuses Cindy Masters, “and we couldn’t do it without the generosity of people like VantageOne who donate the turkeys, Gumtree Catering who prepares the feast, and the North Okanagan Knights who help serve.” VantageOne’s turkey donation is part of the credit union’s annual great gobble giveaway – turkeys are given out to members of the bank. CEO, Glenn Benischek states: “VantageOne is pleased to be able to not only thank our members for their decision to bank with our organization through our Christmas Turkey Program but to also help many worthwhile organizations in our community. Kindale is one such organization, providing much needed services to a key segment of our society. Thank you Kindale for all you do.”
