Road works may be cut richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Public expectations may have to evolve if ballooning infrastructure costs are to be trimmed.

The City of Vernon is currently in the midst of an integrated transportation framework that will look at road reconstruction and maintenance.

“We want to chip some of the costs off,” said Michael Trickey, with consulting firm Strategic Infrastructure Management.

However, that may mean residents will see road widths narrow, shoulders may shrink and curbs and gutter could go from concrete to asphalt.

Mayor Rob Sawatzky admits that dealing with public expectations could be a challenge.

“The issue gets complex with the size of the vehicles on residential streets — quarter-ton trucks instead of smaller cars,” he said.

The city has $375 million in road assets and there is a $40 million backlog in work.

“Cost containment is so important. It’s not about raising taxes people don’t have,” said Trickey.

Trickey says there is a need to look at the specific function of a road and to not over-design.

“How many lanes do there have to be? How many shoulders? Does there have to be a bike path?” he said, adding that maintenance factors to consider are landscaping, snow storage and street lighting.

“Every time you do a road, you need to ask, ‘How is it impacting my maintenance costs?’”

It’s expected the integrated transportation framework will be presented to council for consideration in February.

“It gives me a sense of confidence in what we’re trying to do,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham.

Sawatzky believes it is important for the city to look at reducing costs instead of just relying on increasing taxes.

“It’s essential to manage infrastructure in an affordable manner,” he said.

Traffic stop reveals pounds of pot roger knox Morning Star Staff

A Lumby man is facing drug-related charges stemming from a traffic stop.

Members of the RCMP’s North Okanagan Traffic Services conducted a traffic stop Saturday at 9:40 a.m. at 37th Avenue and 30th Street after the officer noticed the driver of a grey 1999 GMC Jimmy had failed to stop at the stop sign a block before at the railway tracks.

“While dealing with the driver, the officer noticed a strong odor of marijuana in the vehicle,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.

“This led to the officer conducting a search of the vehicle and three large duffle bags filled

with vacuum- sealed Ziplock bagged bud was located.”

In total, more than 47 pounds of marijuana

was seized.

The suspect, 28, has since been released on a promise to appear in court in February fac-

ing charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession and breach of conditions.

The way we cook CHICKEN has evolved over the years - the types of chicken we use and how we cook it has changed to suit our past and present lifestyles.

Stewing Hens (approximately 2 year old chickens) When my Grandma had laying hens and the egg production slowed down, Granny would put a chicken in a pot on top of the wood stove to simmer for 8-10 hours for chicken and dumplings.

Here is my method: Add stewing hen to a large stock pot then fill the pot up with enough water to cover. Turn your burner on high and allow the water to come to a boil. Skim off the scum that forms on the top of the water. When you’ve removed all of the scum, turn the heat down so that the pot is at a low simmer. Put the lid on.

The Council of the District of Coldstream invites applications from interested residents of Coldstream, to fill vacancies on the Board of Variance, effective January 1, 2014 for a three-year term.

The Board of Variance is an autonomous body that hears and decides upon appeals to vary requirements of the Zoning Bylaw and Servicing Bylaw. Experience in areas such as land use planning, architecture, building design, engineering, planning law, and the building industry, along with an understanding of zoning bylaws and how to read architectural plans, are an asset in performing duties required of Board members.

The application form is available at the Coldstream Municipal Office, located at 9901 Kalamalka Road, and on the website at www.districtofcoldstream.ca.

Applications will be received up to the end of the business day, Friday, November 15, 2013.

Pat Webb is the Meat Manager for Askew’s Armstrong and has been a meat cutter for 38 years. He enjoys sharing his knowledge with his customers.

When cooked enough, the meat should be tender and the body of the hen should be starting to fall apart. I like to either cook the hen overnight, about 10 hours, or from morning to late afternoon, about seven or eight hours. Separate the meat from the bone and use in soups, stews, pot pies and more. Freeze the broth as well and use where chicken stock is required in recipes.

The Conservative government in Ottawa scrapped the mandatory component of the longform census, stating that some of the questions infringed on the privacy of citizens and residents

should not be legally penalized for not filling out the document.

However, Pearase says that fewer people are now completing the census and that is negatively impacting the activities of RDNO’s regional growth management advisory committee.

“The census results are so small they’re useless.

It doesn’t give the regional district anything to work with,” she said.

“How do we know if Lumby needs more seniors care if we don’t know how many seniors there are?

How do we know how many young people need jobs if we don’t have the information?”

Director Mary-Jo O’Keefe was against the motion calling on Ottawa to bring back the mandatory census form.

“I am opposed to the mandatory aspect of the census,” said O’Keefe.

“I don’t think any government should force people to divulge things they think are too private.”

Police canine locates suspect 10 Year

roger knox Morning Star Staff

A suspect from an attempted assault and attempted carjacking from a Vernon store thought he could hide from a police service dog.

He was wrong.

Officers were called Thursday at 6:30 p.m. to the area of Walmart to assist a loss prevention officer with a suspect who was fleeing the area.

“The suspect had reportedly attempted to assault the loss prevention officer with a weapon,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk, who identified the weapon as a needle.

“He then attempted a robbery of a vehicle, a carjacking, from two people from Vernon who were in their car.”

That attempt was unsuccessful, and a police service dog team was called to the scene.

The dog was put onto the track of where the suspect was last seen and, within minutes of starting a search, the suspect was found in some bushes. The dog made contact with the suspect’s leg.

“The dog handler asked the suspect why he didn’t give himself up when he heard the dog coming,” said Molendyk. “His reply was ‘I didn’t think the dog would find me.’”

Items stolen from Walmart, about $1,000 worth of merchandise, were recovered.

The suspect, 28, of no fixed address was taken into custody.

Setting boundaries

W

ithin certain circles, it’s commonly known as death by 1,000 cuts.

Increasingly, representatives for the North Okanagan’s electoral areas are concerned about the cumulative impact that a revolving door of small annexations into adjacent municipalities has on the viability of their jurisdictions.

“There’s a fair bit of assessment being transferred,” said Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director.

With every lot that is absorbed into a municipality, the electoral area’s tax base shrinks. That means existing residents are left to pick up even more financial burden to provide necessary services.

Particularly, accordRichard Rolke ing to a new annexation impact study, fire departments in electoral areas suffer because there is less money to purchase costly equipment.

The study states that in Area B (BX-Swan Lake), fire protection makes up 12 per cent of the total tax levy while it is 22 per cent in Area D (rural Lumby).

The other factor to consider is that easy access to some neighbourhoods gets cut off for firefighters because other neighbourhoods are now in a municipality.

Beyond taxes, there is the concern that incremental annexation places pressure on agricultural land to be developed and community identity is undermined.

“Concern was raised that annexations were fragmenting communities and the social fabric of electoral areas,” states the study.

And that is fair comment as many residents do associate their electoral areas as communities — whether it is Cherryville, Silver Star or Whitevale. In Area F, numerous distinct communities abound, including Mara, Grindrod and Ashton Creek.

Identity is not something that exists simply within municipal boundaries.

The challenge is that regional districts and electoral area directors have no say over the annexation of individual lots.

Presently, a property owner applies to a municipality for annexation (the common reasons are to replace a failing septic system with sewer or to develop). The municipality traditionally endorses the application and then submits it to the provincial government, where the final decision is made.

“There is no role for the electoral areas on input. We can say we don’t agree but it doesn’t carry any weight with the province,” said Bob Fleming, BX-Swan Lake director.

Can you imagine the furor that would arise from a municipality, such as Vernon, if it had no say over a portion of its community being swallowed up by another? But with electoral areas, it’s become the norm to treat them as second-class jurisdictions.

The North Okanagan’s EA directors are calling for a protocol where they and their municipal counterparts sit down and hammer out firm boundaries and if annexations do occur, that some form of financial compensation for lost taxes take place.

Macnabb would like municipalities to stop accepting annexation applications from electoral area residents.

“We are good neighbours so stop doing this to us. Show some respect,” he said.

And Macnabb has a valid point.

Until the province eliminates EAs or entire electoral areas decide willingly to join municipalities, then there needs to be mutual recognition of the various jurisdictions and their commonalities and differences. Not everyone wants to live in a municipality and there are major implications for cities that take on large rural areas.

Finally, what’s going on in the North Okanagan isn’t unique. There is so much interest in the issue, that six other regional districts, including Metro Vancouver, helped fund the study.

It’s something that is easy to put off but you know you shouldn’t.

In fact if you’re 65 years or older it’s free of charge so there’s not even that lame old excuse.

Certainly it may hurt for a second but a flu shot has been shown to be very effective in warding off illness over the winter months.

And, say what you want about the government, but they make it very easy for you to get a free flu shot - of course they want to save money by keeping you healthy but it’s a win-win for everyone.

So if you’re over 65, or in residential care, or have a chronic health condition, or aboriginal, or...check interiorhealth.ca for details.....get on over to your friendly neighbourhood clinic and get your free shot. You’ll be glad you did.

The next one in Vernon is Thursday at the Schubert Centre from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and others are scheduled for Armstrong, Lumby, Enderby, Falkland and Cherryville, again see interiorhealth.ca for more information.

And for those who don’t qualify for free flu shots, it’s still a good idea to get one to ward off illness not only for you but for your family, friends and coworkers as well.

There’s seemingly more and more places that are advertising flu shots so access shouldn’t be a problem and the cost is not out of reach for most residents.

Consider it an investment in preventative medicine with the potential to save you plenty of money in flu remedies that you no longer have to purchase later this winter.

Again, for more information on why you should get a flu shot call the flu line at 250-549-6306 or consult, once again, interiorhealth.ca.

Annexation comes with a cost

I

feel somewhat well positioned to weigh in on the amalgamation debate. My family has lived in the Greater Vernon area from the later part of the 19th century.

What is missing in this debate is the fact that Vernon has always been an urban area. In the past, one of the largest in the valley.

Vernon's concept of civic living basically covers an area of three to four kilometres in radius centered on the town hall complex, and is wholly urban in nature. It needs business, metered parking and density to thrive. Coldstream and the other rural areas, including the Landing, when it was still in existence, are much more agrarian. Small business, farms, and orchards shape much of Coldstream.

Density is almost a dirty word with the exception of the area near Kidston school.

So what happens when Vernon (urban) decides, with the acquiescence of a semi rural area, Okanagan Landing, to annex this additional rural land? Nothing good. Since we moved here in 2002, we have seen our taxes rise, an under-utilized, and by many accounts, a poorly engineered sewer system designed primarily for the private sector, little or no road maintenance, and close to zero police presence.

We used to have cheaper taxes based on our volunteer fire department, the pride of the Landing, but they were

BETTER TOGETHER I would like to respond to Gyula Kiss' comments about amalgamation with the City of Vernon.

Reading some of your remarks on this topic I feel you don't see the big picture, you sound more like a councillor trying not to lose his job, with comments saying "otherwise let us live as we please."

Guess what? As a homeowner in Coldstream your outlook in my judgment isn't even close to mine.

There are no sidewalks, no street lights at intersections, Kickwillie Loop Road from College Way to Lakeview Drive is so bad that I have to drive on the other side of the road for my safety due to the condition, a park that needs improvement year after year with no second thoughts from Coldstream, and also having to pay for garbage and recycling.

For only (in your figures) an extra $290, to help my fellow neighbours and community, I would spend it.

Now I understand there are costs related to every community, but after coming from a place where all these things were well looked after with a much lower property tax for the same square feet of home, we need to look into something else cause it's not

done away with by an in-camera vote.

A parcel tax was placed on residents in order to help support the waste water treatment plant when septic tanks in the Landing were serviced.

When our tank was emptied, we were informed that

working.

Taxes in Coldstream are so spread out when I go in to talk about them I get the "we don't do that, they do" – too much finger pointing.

When I hire a sub-contractor to do a job I make sure it's done right and so should Coldstream.

Vernon would and will be a better place for my family to grow, work and live if we all just work together in a small town, that's why we moved here.

With the jobs and wages few and far between, I would think comments like you said at the end of your letter would only keep people away from Coldstream and Vernon.

Instead let's bring people and families to this great place with joined governed representatives who have plans for a better overall community.

Jay Smith ON RIGHT TRACK I would like to thank Pamela Owen on behalf of the BIG RED Committee for verifying in her letter what I have been stating over many years – that the municipality was over spending on budgets and that we were losing valuable jobs and they were not

the city wouldn't take the septage and it would have to be trucked to Enderby at our cost. At present, tree roots from poorly kept city road allowances are undermining our main street, Kokanee Road. The only civic workers we see out here are the plows in winter and the water quality people.

Usually once a week, a crew is dispatched to the Eastside Road, near Smith Road, to flush the partially used sewer trunk line with treated water.

Because we live in the city, we are forbidden from hunting the deer that ruin our gardens. When many residents built fences to keep the deer out, they were informed that they would need a civic variance to keep them.

Now there is talk about eliminating slash pick-up in the spring, but no thought of bringing back controlled burns.

Slash in interface areas such as ours is fuel for wildfires.

Other things we have given up are free fireworks on Halloween paid for by our fire department volunteers and the scholarships and equipment that they provided to our school.

It's up to you, but if you go for annexation get cast iron contracts enforceable in court.

It might cost you a bit now to maintain your lifestyle but it could cost you a lot more in the future.

Bill Dunsmore

working on the problem but instead spending on things like a sports complex that at the rate we are going will have no people to utilize it by the time it is open.

We must start to reduce the budgets and stop borrowing monies.

If you want to have people come here to live then it must be made attractive to companies and families and a large municipal debt is not the way.

This group of people are the local persons who are working in the trenches and own the small business that keeps jobs and money in town.

Because of this we must listen to them and as I have been saying to include economic development as a major key to the official city plan.

Garry Haas THANK YOU On Nov. 5 I lost my wallet in the parking lot of Wal-Mart around noon.

Upon searching for it to no avail, my sister and I went to customer service to see if someone had turned it in.

I wasn't expecting it to be there and panicking at this point.

But it was there - all intact.

A huge thank you to the person who did this.

It's very comforting to know that there are honest people out there.

Thanks again to the person who returned my wallet.

Banff returns to Vernon with some great adventures Local Search and Rescue volunteer gets a sneak peek at Banff Mountain Film Festival KriSTin FronEmAn Morning Star Staff

For anyone who has caught the Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival, either at its home base in the Rocky Mountain city or on the Best of Banff tour that travels the globe, there are certain things to expect.

There is likely to be a film about someone in a “wing suit” flying from some incredulous mountain peak, climbers from either sex escalating said peak, kayakers taking a plunge down what could be best classified as a waterfall, and some daring skiers finding the perfect line off the side of a cliff.

There is also the humour, drama and humanity that often goes along

with those who seek out extreme adventure or pilgrimage in some of the world’s most unobtainable terrain.

That was the case at this year’s festival, which took place the first weekend in November, and is sure to be the case when the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour stops in Vernon Monday at the Performing Arts Centre.

Produced by Mountain Culture at The Banff Centre, the 22nd annual screening of the Best of Banff, hosted

by Vernon Search and Rescue, is sure to cause hearts to pulse and imaginations to soar, said Nikki Sims, Vernon SAR’s Banff film coordinator, who once again attended this year’s festival in the Alberta city.

“The Banff Film Festival was great this year. I got to meet Tim Cope (creator of) On The Trail of Genghis Khan - a film shown two years ago, and yes, he still has dog Tigon. Tim wrote a book of his journey, which won grand prize at Banff,” said Sims.

“I also met and chatted with Justin Jones of Cas and Jonesy fame as well

Zumba at Banff.”

As in past screenings, organizers expect to fill the theatre and will present two shows to bring audiences the best of Banff.

Besides Monday, another audience-pleasing menu of adventurebased films – climbing, skiing, kayaking, environmental subjects, last of the great wild places — takes place at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Dec. 29.

“We are almost sold out for our November show, (however,) tickets for the Dec. 29th show will be on sale the day after the November show.

All the films will be different for the December show,” said Sims.

Besides the inspiring films, the event is a way for locals to support the non-profit, volunteer search and rescue unit with much needed equipment and training.

“Vernon SAR covers an area of 7,500 square kilometres that is widely known as a tourist destination with an array of outdoor pursuits,” said Sims. “With approximately 60 volunteers, we attend an average of

45 calls each year. All members are trained in basic search and rescue techniques, with many advancing into specialized rescue disciplines such as swift water, flat ice, rope, avalanche, and tracking.”

Beyond the specific role of search and rescue, the Vernon unit also assists the RCMP, B.C. Ambulance Service, Coroner’s Office, B.C. Forest Service, and the office of the fire commissioner in various tasks from evidence searches and body recoveries to traffic control and evacuation assistance.

“Our organization operates on a 100 per cent volunteer basis, with each member donating time and money towards this cause. As such, we are dependent on donations from the community for the acquisition of capital equipment, including ATVs, snowmobiles, boats, and trucks and for all-important ongoing training.”

Tickets for the Best of Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour are available at the Ticket Seller, 5497469, www.ticketseller.ca. Screenings start at 7 p.m.

Sabrina Weeks and the cats bounce back to jazz club AmAndA morAzAin

For The Morning Star

The Vernon Jazz Club will be truly entertained when Sabrina Weeks, 2012 Maple Blues award winner, and Swing Cat Bounce take the stage this Saturday.

Weeks will be joined by Mike “Hot Licks” Hilliard on guitar, Terry Strudwick on bass, and Ed Hilliard on drums.

The band will be playing a blend of blues, swing, R&B, and good old rock and roll.

Weeks has been a featured vocalist in celebrating bluesy songbirds. She has had the honour of performing at Massey Hall as part of the Women in Blues Revue and has also been a part of the Etta James Tribute at Hugh’s Room in Toronto.

An avid performer, Weeks has shared the stage or opened for top artists such as Colin James, Tom Lavin and Powder Blues.

Her sound is described as swinging, bouncing, boogie-blues with a touch of rock. When asked who her musical influences are, Weeks says: “My influences are Elvis, Etta James, Ruth Brown, Bessie Smith, Tina Turner, Koko Taylor, Doris Day... I could go on and on.”

This collaboration opened for The Guess Who, Steppenwolf and Stonebolt.

Ed received his bachelor of music as well as a bachelor of education from the University of Western Ontario. He has performed with artists such as Frank Leahy, The Rankins and Gary Guthman.

Strudwick has made television appearances on CBC, CTV, and MuchMusic. He teaches both guitar and bass and is a first call studio musician in the Okanagan.

Those aren’t just voices inside your head Corporations in our Heads, staging in Lumby Nov. 20, is a different brand of theatre. There’s no play, script or actors Morning Star Staff

The messages from corporations tell us hundreds of times a day, in ways we may not notice anymore: how to relate to each other and to ourselves, what to buy, how to feel, how to perceive and the kind of person to aspire to be.

Theatre for the Living’s production of Corporations in Our Heads, which is currently touring B.C. and stops in Lumby Nov. 20, is about becoming aware of these messages.

“It’s (on) how to change our relationships to them, to live healthier and more sustainable lives with each other, with ourselves, and with the planet,” said David Diamond, who co-founded Headlines Theatre (now Theatre for Living) in 1981 and has directed more than 500 community-specific projects on issues such as racism, civic engagement, violence, addiction, street youth, intergenerational conflict and homelessness.

Corporations in Our Heads is more than just an investigation, said Diamond.

“We have a desire for Corporations in our Heads to move into transformative action... by making each event relevant, at a grassroots level, to each unique community in which

it happens and for the local organizers to use that momentum to move forward on local community issues,” he said.

Evolved from Augusto Boal’s (founder of the Theatre of the Oppressed) technique, Cops in the Head, each event is based on the community’s creation.

“We are touring a process in which the whole evening of theatre emerges from the audience,” said Diamond.

It starts with a short warm-up, where the audience is asked to offer stories out of their own experiences. “(They can be) stories in which the storyteller had to make a decision, and in that moment, knew that the messages of corporations were affecting their choice in negative or unhealthy way,” said Diamond, who takes on the role of joker/

David Diamond facilitator. “The audience chooses the story that resonates the most and we bring that story to the stage.”

After agreeing on branding, the joker and audience decide what corporations are pres-

ent in the space that night.

“Identifying the brand helps us to understand the character as well as the messaging.

The chosen moment is then theatricalized on stage,” said Diamond, who freezes the scene in a moment when the “corporate voices” appear to be present in the storyteller (the Protagonist).

The Protagonist is then asked to identify what the loudest voice is saying, and to make a physical shape to represent that message.

“An audience member, who recognizes that

The Vernon Film Society’s next presentation is The Hunt, one of the year’s most controversial and powerful films.

Mads Mikkelsen (A Royal Affair) stars as Lucas, a divorced daycare worker who is an integral part of a tight-knit community in Denmark.

He has lived there all his life and has formed lifelong friendships, particularly with Theo and Bruun, who regularly organize the men’s hunting trips.

Beloved by the children under his care, Lucas has formed a special bond with Klara, the young daughter of Theo and his wife Agnes.

Klara wanders the neighbourhood as a respite from her parents’ constant verbal battles, so Lucas starts escorting her home. When she kisses him on the lips, Lucas tells her sternly that only mommies and daddies kiss that way. Klara, hurt and angry, retaliates by telling the head of the daycare that she has seen things she shouldn’t have, sparking a modern-day witch hunt that targets Lucas and grows progressively uglier.

Rumours, innuendo, and lies transform the once mild-mannered Lucas into a tormented and embittered pariah overnight.

Directed with consummate skill and driven by exceptional performances from a stellar cast, The Hunt is one of the most troubling and powerful cinematic experiences of the year.

“Beautifully performed and tough as nails, Vinterberg’s social drama could not be any more timely,” said David Hughes, with Empire Magazine.

The Hunt will be shown at the Towne Cinema Monday, Nov. 18 at 5:15 and 7:45 p.m. Tickets are available at the door and one week ahead at the theatre and the Bean Scene for $7.

When Muriel Sanderson was 14, her father taught her how to knit.

These days, she can be found every Tuesday at Knox Presbyterian Church, as a member of the Knotty Knitters.

“He was a First World War veteran who had learned to knit, and he taught me — the first thing I made was a pair of diamond socks,” said Sanderson, smiling at the memory.

And knitting is top of mind for Rev. Teresa Charlton, who was looking for a way of brightening up what can be a dreary month for many, and at the same time giving back to the community.

“I was looking through the closets and found piles of yarn and wondered what we could do with it,” she said.

She’s asking that anyone with yarn, knitting needles or crochet hooks to drop them off at the church. And those who need supplies are invited to help themselves. Charlton would then like to see warm hats, mittens and shawls made that can be donated to those in need.

“I figured if we have a closet full of yarn, others must as well,” she said. “So we’re doing a bring or take system — here is the yarn and we’d like to invite the public to drop off extra yarn, needles, crochet

“I had one lady pick up five half-used balls of wool and she figured they would make a nice prayer shawl. People often buy one extra skein of wool that goes unused, so there is usually a lot left over after a project.

“This helps me get through the dreary days of November before the busyness of Christmas begins.”

On display in the narthex is a hat Charlton crocheted for her daughter, a prayer shawl, an afghan, a bib and a tiny infant’s sweater, along with balls of colourful yarn.

Knitting and crochet enthusiasts are welcome to donate supplies and to help themselves. Knox has provided space to the Gleaners for their annual sock drive, which collects new kids’ socks, mitts, toques, scarves and underwear for orphaned children in Eastern Europe.

“So there are two way to go: you can drop off yarn or you can knit for charity.”

If you have mortgage questions like …

“How can I be mortgage free faster?” or “How much mortgage can I afford?”

Bulbs can be potted

very summer after the leaves are gone from the tulips, unless the area is well-defined, I usually end up slicing a few bulbs as I cannot remember exactly where they are buried. This year I made a special bed for them around an old dead apple tree. Last week I planted 184 tulips in that space. At each corner, I planted a large hyacinth bulb.

These also had been uprooted at some point. Under the little fir tree (our living Christmas tree) Jocelyne Sewell I also put more hyacinth bulbs. Next spring I am hoping for a fantastic show of perfume and colours.

I will be trying something new also this year. As I have so many one and two gallon pots in the shed, I will be cutting the bottoms and sinking them in the ground.

Then I will be planting more tulips in them, making sure the rim of the pot is a little bit above ground-level. These pots will stay in the ground until the clumps become too large and then I will be able to dig them up and redo the process. No

more sliced bulbs.

My neighbour had some lilies that needed planting deeper. In the process, she sliced one. I took some of the scales and planted them in a pot and took it inside, covered loosely with plastic. As I was checking them the other day, I noticed that they have rooted. I took the following information from the Internet.

There are many sites to choose from.

“Another method to do scaling is to push the scale into a tray of peat and grit or humus so that only a third is showing above the mixture. Water the tray and let it drain, then place it into a transparent bag or clear tray lid if you have them.

Keep the scales at around 18C (65F) but not above 21C (70F). In a couple of weeks you should start to see some tiny bulblets developing. When they get large enough they should be potted up individually. It is a good idea to put the bulblets into a cold storage for a number of weeks depending on the division. This will break dormancy and cause leaves to sprout. Asiatics need about a minimum of six weeks while Oriental species and hybrids need 12-14 weeks.

“After they have been growing indoors

either under lights or in a heated greenhouse for the winter, they can be planted out in the garden when the soil temperatures are favourable. They may take a season or more to get to blooming size depending on how well they are growing. Scaling is a good way to increase the number of a newly purchased bulb quickly. This not only gets you more for your money but also acts like an insurance in case something unexpected happens to your bulb, such as squirrels digging them up and feeding on them.”

This is the method I chose because of the slicing of the bulb. I will be watching for the bulblets closely, pot them up and they will go under the fluorescent lights after their cold storage.

Only a few trays left to put in the greenhouse and I should be ready for winter. This year, I laid newspaper on the floor and the sides below the plastic panels. This should cut the draft. The larger pots are around the outside and smaller ones in the centre. When it starts freezing hard, I will cover them with shredded leaves and hope for an early spring and a very mild winter.

Start liqueurs now for holiday gift-giving

I

always wait until after Remembrance Day to begin offering Christmas recipes because I just don’t believe Christmas hubbub should start before Nov. 11.

For me, it is very important, before jumping into the happy attitudes of Christmas, to acknowledge, understand, remember and pay tribute to

Meals On Wheels Dinners @ Home

the young men and women who lost their lives fighting for our freedoms. It is equally important to honour those who did come home, like my dad, who were forever altered, injured in spirit and mind after living through the unimaginable horrors of war.

or shopping; I’m hoping we all took the time Monday to reflect, to feel a sense of sadness,

and most of all, to be thankful for the freedoms we experience today. It came at a great cost.

Today I again raise a glass to our war heroes, and you can, too, with homemade liqueurs.

These make lovely gifts when packaged in unusual or pretty glass containers. They add a personal touch as well as being far less expen-

Morning Star Staff

Tom Filippou, executive chef of President’s Choice offers a few tips to ensure that your party is picture-perfect, and that you have fun hosting it.

Tip #1: Choose a décor theme. Whether it’s traditional red-whiteand green motifs, modernly-chic mirrored finishes, or even bold red with a touch of gold, choosing a theme brings any event together for a simply elegant evening.

Tip #2: Create a checklist. Make a list with must-have items that are sure to please and makes

planning a snap.

Tip #3: Serve something unexpected. Not everyone likes the same kinds of foods, and your festive servings should reflect that. Offer your guests new flavours by serving dishes inspired by cultures from around the globe and make your menu one to remember!

Put adventurous twists on classic favourites such as curried turkey, or cranberry chutney with a hint of spice.

Serving Asianinspired hors d’oeuvres gives you the chance to surprise your guests with something unique.

Look for ways to incorporate Indian flavours and foods such as curry or naan bread into your holiday dishes to add extra pizzazz to your sandwiches or dipping platters.

Filippou said Moroccan cuisine is the flavor trend this year. Try hors d’oeuvres which have a savoury Moroccan-inspired beef filling with notes of cinnamon and cumin.

Tip #4: Don’t forget the dessert. Serving all foods at once can take away from the menu you’ve worked so hard at preparing, so it’s best to serve dessert last.

Offering guests an array of holiday-inspired desserts will keep them coming back for more.

And don’t forget, the most important part of entertaining is to spend time with loved ones and enjoy your sensational celebration.

OK park supported because of opposition from some residents, including ranchers who feared they would lose access to grazing land.

“The scope of the park has been reduced and that’s reduced the opposition from the ranchers,” said director Juliette Cunningham, who has discussed the issue with colleagues from the south end of the valley.

RDNO decided to get involved after being approached by the South Okanagan-Similkameen National Park Network.

“A new national park in the region will enhance tourism, business, and wineries; develop new jobs, encourage investment, and improve the economic well-being of the communities in the North Okanagan,” said Doreen Olson, SOS National Park Network co-ordinator.

RDNO has also asked senior levels of government that it be consulted during the national park establishment process.

Acknowledging the Okanagan as a distinct ecosystem is garnering a political endorsement.

The Regional District of North Okanagan will ask the provincial government to Patrick Nicol work with the federal government and the Okanagan Nation Alliance to create a national park near Oliver and Osoyoos.

“It’s magical,” said Patrick Nicol, RDNO chairperson, of the Okanagan’s natural attributes compared to other parts of Canada. “We really deserve to have a national park in the area.”

The concept of a national park in the South Okanagan has existed for many years but the process stalled

An old playground in McLeod subdivision has officially been closed.

Proceeds from the disposal of the park will now be placed in the credit of the parkland acquisition reserve fund.

Council had approved an alternate approval response deadline of Oct. 18 with the number of responses required to not approve the park closure as 400.

“We had exactly zero responses,” said Spallumcheen chief financial officer Brian Freeman-Marsh.

A new park with new equipment was opened in the subdivision earlier this year.

Water board avoids budget hike judie steeves Black Press

Unlike some taxing authorities, the Okanagan Basin Water Board has not increased its budget over last year, so taxpayers will not see any increase on their annual tax bills next year – for that function.

There was discussion of eventually including grants to municipalities for storm water treatment, in addition to the sewage facility grants currently provided, with director

WATKIN MOTORS TAKING CARE OF THE OKANAGAN FOR LIFE.

Tom Siddon asking if the board had the will to expand the benefits of that program, perhaps to include grants for tertiary treatment of sewage or other alternatives as well.

Director Doug Findlater said he would have a problem with the OBWB going for more taxpayer dollars.

On the other hand, he favoured letting the public know what a responsible organization the OBWB is, in not budgeting for increased expenditures in the coming year.

The $3.4 million budget would cost property-owners about

5.8 cents per $1,000 of assessment in total, with 2.9 cents of that going to the sewage facilities grant program.

The water milfoil control program costs about one cent per $1,000 in assessment, the same as last year, including a $40,000 addition to the equipment reserve, in case one of the milfoil rototilling or harvesting machines needs to be replaced in future.

For the OBWB’s water management function, the requisition is 1.7 cents per $1,000, down from the previous year, and well under the two cents

Matching grants from other government agencies help keep costs down, noted executivedirector Anna Warwick Sears in reporting to the board at its regular monthly meeting.

Projects for the coming year include expansion of public education for water conservation and about invasive zebra mussels; building on water monitoring programs and other projects.

The OBWB also contributes a portion of the cost for a water research chair at UBC Okanagan.

No dates have been selected as of yet.

“We’ve been working on this since 2008,” said Mayor Janice Brown. “As our roads fall behind $1.3 million every year, and we have lots of roads in Spallumcheen, we’ve been trying to figure out how to do development cost charges for new residents and farms to help with roads.”

The township, currently, does not have a DCC program in place, but feel that foreseeable growth and the impact the growth would have on roads make it necessary to establish a DCC program and bylaw.

According to a written report by Urban Systems, a proposed DCC program for Spallumcheen “itemizes road infrastructure projects that are necessary to support new growth throughout the township that will be funded in part by DCCs.” The program would ensure that the people who use and benefit from the projects pay their share of the costs “in a fair and equitable manner.”

While consultation with the public is not required, Urban Systems recommended the process as it would provide those interested in, or affected by, the planned DCCs to offer comments and input.

Morris hearing Roar of the Rings Morning Star Staff/Curling Canada

John Morris has booked his ticket to Winnipeg.

With a 5-4 win over Brad Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., on Saturday afternoon in Kitchener, Ont., Morris’s Vernon-Kelowna rink of Jim Cotter, Tyrel Griffith, Rick Sawatsky and coach Pat Ryan secured its spot in the Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings Canadian Curling Trials, Dec. 1-8 at the MTS Centre.

The event will decide Canada’s teams for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

This is Morris’s third trip to the Trials, and he’ll be going head-to-head with his former skip and 2010 Olympic gold-medal teammate, Kevin Martin, in the final round-robin draw on Dec. 6.

“Is he in that bonspiel?” joked Morris after his win in Page playoff A-B final of the Capital One Road to the Roar Pre-Trials.

“I’ve been in two Trials. I think it’s even more pressure than the Olympics. I’m sure we’ll have a great match against Kev, we’ll be gunning for each other. That was a tough break at the end of last year, but it had to happen. I’m sure we’re going to have a barn burner, and I look forward to it.”

In a game that saw its share of misses in among the highlight-reel shots, Morris worked the scoreboard to have hammer coming home, and Cotter, who throws final stones, made the cold draw to the eight-

foot for the win.

Morris praised the play of his team, especially Cotter, who struggled at the beginning of the game.

“He’s our stable force,” Morris said. “He’s our shotmaker. We’ve just got to be sure to give him the shots to make. He’s a true leader on this team too.”

Added Cotter: “That was one of our primary goals this season, to get off to Winnipeg.

“Each event we go into we seem to be getting better and better and we’re getting to know each other a little better.”

Cotter said the team held a two-day mini-camp in Calgary before pre-Trials to refine their deliveries and solidify their game-plan. They have similar preparations planned for the Trials, and they will also compete in the $100,000 Canadian Open, which starts today in Medicine Hat. They open play Thursday against Brandon’s Rob Fowler.

The Jacobs rink, the reigning men’s Canadian champs, will also get another chance to wear the Maple Leaf on the world stage.

The Sault Ste. Marie crew clinched the final berth into the Roar of the Rings with a 7-5 win over 2006 Olympic gold-medallist Brad Gushue of St. John’s, N.L. Sunday night.

crowd erupted in a sarcastic cheers when they finally got it right.

The layover affected Prince George (137-2-2) more than it did Vernon (11-6-2-4), as the Kings arrived in town at 4 a.m. after riding overnight from Trail, where they beat the host Smoke Eaters 5-2 Friday.

“You can get them rallied up to play a 7 o’clock game, but that hour-long break really hurt us,” said Prince George head coach Dave Dupas. “You could see when we came back after that break our feet weren’t moving.

“But they kept battling through it. It’s a testament to the guys – they just keep going.”

Five minutes into the second period, Staley (11th) lifted a nifty backhander over a sprawled Smith during a powerplay for the 2-0 snipe.

Staley wasn’t surprised to see the intensity level ramped up between the teams after Hamilton took out the Kings’ Jake LeBrun with a hard hit in their first meeting.

However, he said they couldn’t afford to let redemption interfere with the game-plan.

“We didn’t want to get running around,” he said. “They’re a lot bigger than us and that’s not really our game. We just want to stick to our skills.

“It was a crazy game. We’re a little shorthanded right now, but we battled hard.

Vernon’s Liam Coughlin (8th), with a highlight-reel backhander over Alex Murray, and Tyler Povelofskie, with his first-ever BCHL goal on a tremendous solo effort, equalized later in the second frame.

Vipers draw Spruce Kings 4-4 in bizarre BCHL tilt GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff

Players from both sides called it the craziest B.C. Hockey League game they have been a part of. And not just the rookies.

But after all the fireworks and bizarre twists Saturday night at Kal Tire Place, the Vernon Vipers and Prince George Spruce Kings settled for a 4-4 draw in front of nearly 1,800 fans.

The hard-hitting tilt featured a hat-trick performance by the Kings’ Chad Staley, a one-hour delay to replace a broken pane of glass on the end board, and Vipers’ forward TJ Dumonceaux inadvertently onepunching linesman Ryan Dawson while he jostled with the Spruce Kings’ defenceman Christian Weidauer during a skirmish with

5:32 remaining in regulation.

Dumonceaux earned a game misconduct for the incident, but received no further discipline from the BCHL head office.

Staley (10th goal), named first star, jumpstarted the Prince George attack with a shorthanded breakaway effort in the first period. Vernon d-man Mark Hamilton bobbled a pass at the point, allowing the speedy Kennewick, Wash. product to go in alone for a top-shelf snipe on Austin Smith, who returned after missing 11 games to injury.

With five minutes remaining in period one, Vipers’ d-man Riley Guenther collided with the Spruce Kings’ Braiden Epp into the end boards, breaking the glass. The rink crew scrambled to replace it, but installed the wrong size, causing further delays. The

Bantam Vipers bank Tier 2 crown Morning Star Staff

The Sun Valley Source for Sports Vipers doubled the host Penticton Vees 4-2 to claim gold in Bantam Tier 2 hockey tournament play on Sunday.

Dawson Chase and Reed Cashato led the way with a goal and assist apiece, other singles going to Coleton Bilodeau and Jason Shaigec.

Matt Kowalski, Brady Marzocco and Stephane Richard added helpers as the Vipers avenged a 1-0 loss to Penticton in a Kelowna tournament final last month.

Keith Chase’s Snakes went undefeated in round-robin action, doubling Calgary 4-2, slamming Semiahmoo 9-0 and outgunning Pursuit of Excellence S2 10-3.

Earlier Sunday, the Source for Sports crew dismantled Campbell River 14-1 in the semifinals.

Knights golden in Winfield

In Pee Wee Tier 4 action, the North Okanagan Knights were also golden as they bounced the Summerland Jets 8-3 in the championship game of a Winfield tournament Sunday afternoon.

Eli Dwyer paced the Knights with a four-goal effort, singles coming from Brett Zbytnuik, Griffin Evans, Bryan Brew and Michael Kormany.

Vernon pulls late comeback Continued from A25

Coughlin (third star), playing on a line with Michael McNicholas (second star) and Dexter Dancs, thrived in the carnival-like atmosphere at Kal Tire Place.

“It was a great game to play in,” beamed the South Boston product. “It’s exhilarating.

Every shift you just want the puck, you want to take it to the net and make a play with it. It’s all eyes on you, so it’s exciting.”

Povelofskie, a grinder from Williams Lake, was equally ecstatic to record his first goal, and to see Vernon erase a pair of two-goal deficits.

“It definitely wasn’t how I imagined it, but I’ll take it,” he grinned. “They say the first one’s the hardest to get.

“It shows character we could bring it back from 2-0, and get it to 4-4 to finish it. We were effective in getting the momentum and keeping it throughout the game.”

Weidauer (5th), creeping in from the point, took a feed from Jeremiah Luedke to restore Prince George’s lead 4:37 into period three. Staley capped the special teams hatty at 12:12, sliding a puck just inside the

post from Smith’s doorstep.

Vernon salvaged a point on yet another third-period comeback, this one led by McNicholas (11th, 12th), who connected twice. His second was a textbook one-timer from the slot off a feed from Coughlin.

“In spurts, we’re playing the right way for sure,” said Mallette.

“To battle back to tie the game late shows a lot of resilience. We’re hopefully on the upswing, I just wish we could get the full 60 (minutes).”

Murray finished with 37 saves, Smith 24. Both tenders were stellar in OT. The game took nearly 3.5 hours to complete.

The Vipers are one point back of the Merritt Centennials (14-9-1) for first place in the Interior. The teams meet Friday night at Nicola Valley Arena.

Vernon entertains the Cowichan Valley Capitals (1111-0-1) in a 2 p.m. matinee next Sunday at Kal Tire Place.

grounding Switzerland 5-3 in the 3 vs 4 game Saturday.

The Vernon Magnums used a heavy dose of Isaiah Ondrik and Matthew Reich to topple the visiting Kelowna Dragons 26-12 in Southern Interior Pee Wee Football Conference playoff action Sunday at Grahame Park.

Ondrik rushed for 145 yards and three touchdowns on seven carries. He added nine tackles on the defence. Reich contributed 80 yards on 15 carries to go along with 10 tackles.

“We relied on Ondrik and Reich a lot on both sides of the ball,” said Vernon head coach Sean Smith. “Isaiah was hard for them to bring down all day and Reich added a speed element to the outside.”

The Magnums added to a 14-0 lead in the second quarter when slot back Liam Glennon carried a reverse five yards to the end zone.

Kelowna replied with a touchdown pass to start the second half, but a 40-yard romp by Ondrik sealed the win for the Magnums late in the third.

“We struggled a bit more than usual on both O and D today,” said Smith. “Kelowna played a great game and pushed us late into the third quarter. If we want to win next Sunday, we need to clean up a lot of mistakes.”

The 9-0 Magnums will face the Mission Lions for the Southern Interior title at noon Sunday at the Capital News Centre Field in Kelowna.

Although it wasn’t the color they wanted, the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack have said goodbye to Canadian Collegiate Soccer with a silver medal.

The ‘Pack, featuring Enderby’s Corey Wallis and Vernon Seb Gardner, fell 2-0 to the defending champion Humber College Hawks of Ontario in the CCAA men’s championship in Saint John, N.B. After the referee gave TRU back-to-back yellow cards to Braeden Burrows (4th year, Kamloops) and Nolan Wallace (2nd year, Kamloops), the Hawks got on the board in the 29 minute mark.

Daniel Braga (3rd year, Toronto) beat WolfPack keeper Travis Froehlich (3rd year, Revelstoke) with a low shot.

TRU’s best chance of the half came in the 38th minute when Jacob Kaay (4th year, Kamloops) had a shot from long range which just missed the mark.

Humber took advantage of a decimated TRU back line (they lost Burrows to a knee injury in the first half) and converted a low shot by tourney MVP Maracos Nunes (2nd year, Brampton).

Thompson Rivers will move to CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport) and compete in the Canada West Conference next year.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder THE OPTIONS START AT TRICK ONE Yesterday, I stressed considering your options at trick one. Here is another example. If South plans carefully, he has a good chance to make his contract. But if he plows forward thoughtlessly, he will probably fail. South is in four spades. West leads the club king, and East signals with his jack. What should declarer do?

I think North should have made a takeout double over one club. True, the double might have resulted in his side’s playing in a 4-3 major-suit fit, but it would have been more flexible than one diamond.

Then, South’s one-spade advance was forcing for

one round.

South has four potential losers: two hearts, one diamond and one club. But if diamonds are splitting 3-2, he has 10 winners: five spades, four diamonds and one club. How might he lose four tricks first?

Only if East gains the lead to push a heart through. So, at trick one, South must play low, letting West hold the trick.

If declarer takes the first trick, when West gets in with his diamond king, he will continue with a low club, giving East the lead for the heart shift. Note that West knows to do this from East’s careful play of the club jack at trick one. Play the top of touching honors when you cannot win a

trick on defense.

South takes West’s club continuation, draws trumps ending in his hand, and plays a low diamond to dummy’s jack. Then, because dummy has no side entry, declarer continues with a low diamond to his queen. After that, he cruises home.

Armstrong’s Petersen family, including (from right) Heidi, Marcus, Jennifer and Hans, enjoy some cheese and chocolate fondue courtesy of Peter Rotzetter, of Chocoliro Finest Chocolate, at the first Armstrong Cheese Festival at the Oddfellows Hall. There was incorrect information printed next to one of the event photos in Sunday’s newspaper. The correct information should have read: Cathy Reid of Armstrong enjoys some Bella Stella Cheese formaggino from Igor Ruffa, of Lumby, during the Armstrong Cheese Festival.

The ocean — Vast. Deep. A limitless pool of life.

A playground for the tiny and giant things that live within it.

And a gateway to the other side.

The ocean should remain an ocean.

Always.

The Northern Gateway Pipeline will protect our oceans by ensuring all tankers are guided by certified BC Coast Pilots with expert knowledge of BC’s coastline. This is just one of the ways we are working to meet BC’s five conditions. Because a better pipeline will not be built at the expense of making other things worse.
