Cemetery costs climb in Vernon RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

JENNIFER SMITH/MORNING STAR

A city worker wades through a river of water to check on drains along 39th Street, downstream from a water main break near Okanagan Avenue Tuesday. Visit www.vernonmorningstar.com for a video of the break.

Water main breaks create ‘chaos’ Torrents of water are leaving residents high and dry. Water was cut off to about 40 homes in South Vernon after an underground pipe broke Tuesday, while a water main break last week has forced the Vernon Public Art Gallery to relocate its operations. “All through the year we can get breaks but they happen more often when the ground is thawing or freezing,” said Zee Marcolin, Greater Vernon Water manager. Tuesday’s break occurred at 39th Street and 22nd Avenue and besides leaving some homes without water, Okanagan Avenue at 39th Street had to be closed during repairs. “It’s not that big of a break,” said Marcolin of the six-inch pipe.

It was anticipated that repairs would be completed by the end of Tuesday and the cause of the pipe failure was not known at press time. A massive water main break Dec. 5 forced the Vernon Public Art Gallery to move its gift shop and office to the vacant flower shop building on 31st Avenue Tuesday. Walls damaged by water and mud are being repaired at the gallery in the parkade. “It’s too hard to get in and work around the restoration staff,” said Dauna Kennedy Grant, executive director, of the need to move the gallery. A key factor on the relocation was the fact that the gift shop generates muchneeded revenue for gallery operations. “Christmas is a big season and we

MONEY TREE!!

bring in extra items from artisans,” said Kennedy Grant. The gift shop will be open at the old flower shop until 5 p.m. Dec. 24. But anyone wanting to take in an art class or view an exhibit will have to wait until the new year when the gallery reopens. Not being able to meet the cultural needs of the community is less than ideal. “It’s complete chaos right now but our staff is resilient through these situations,” said Kennedy Grant. The former flower shop is the proposed site of a new art gallery, which could possibly go to referendum next year. “We hope residents will come in, give us feedback about the site and we will pass those comments on to the politicians,” said Kennedy Grant.

Your final resting place is going to cost more. Vernon council has increased the fees related to the Pleasant Valley Cemetery. “Our fees are low, even with the increase,” said Coun. Catherine Lord. The current fee for a cemetery plot for a resident adult is $725. That will climb to $970 in 2014, $1,067 in 2015 and $1,174 in 2016. For cremated Kevin Bertles remains, the plot cost goes from $216 to $290 in 2014, $319 in 2015 and $351 in 2016. Internment for an adult will climb from $540 to $730 next year, $803 in 2015 and $883 in 2016 (cremated remains will also rise). The last rate hike was five years ago and there is currently a $40,000 to $50,000 shortfall between revenues and expenses. The maintenance/interment contract recently jumped 20 per cent. The bottom line has also been impacted by societal views about death. “Traditional burials have declined significantly,” said Kevin Bertles, director of financial services. “People have gone to the internment of cremation remains.” As a result of fewer plot sales, the city is considering other options for the public, including possibly a columbarium, which can hold numerous cremation urns but doesn’t take up as much room as a traditional grave. “We want to provide more contemporary services,” said Will Pearce, chief administrative officer. Coun. Patrick Nicol wants assurances that increased funds will go towards maintenance of the cemetery. “Hopefully we can maintain the service people expect when they go to see their loved ones,” he said.

Drivers fail to heed campaign awareness roger KnoX Morning Star Staff

BX-Swan Lake firefighters respond to a small blaze inside Huber’s Furniture/Kekuli Bay Cabinetry, near Swan Lake, late Monday afternoon. Visit www.vernonmorningstar.com for a video of the incident.

Crew overcomes challenges Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

Despite some soaked firefighters and a frozen fire hydrant, crews managed to douse a small blaze at Huber’s Furniture Monday. Firefighters were called to the manufacturer near Swan Lake just before 3 p.m. Monday, after a compressor caught fire. “We definitely had some challenges with the cold weather,” said BX-Swan Lake chief Bill Wacey. “One of the hydrants was frozen solid so we had to hook up to one further down the road.” Meanwhile the sprinkler system took down the

brunt of the fire, but also caused some challenges. “The sprinkler system was not able to be shut down so that made for some very wet firefighters,” said Wacey, while trying to warm up his hands in the frigid temperatures. Approximately 30 employees were working inside the building at the time of the incident, but all escaped uninjured. They have since returned to work. “Just extremely minor damage,” said owner Ed Huber, adding that the compressor was a back up. “We have an extremely good fire suppression system.”

It’s not a good start to the CounterAttack campaign in the North Okanagan. Statistics released by the Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP show that over the weekend, Friday to Sunday, while there were no impaired driving charges laid, 14 motorists were issued 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibitions (IRPs). The national CounterAttack campaign for RCMP, which targets drivers who have been drinking and/or taking drugs, officially started Saturday. Overall last week, the Vernon-North Okanagan detachment handed out 18, 90-day IRPs and two three-day IRPs. Five drivers were given 24-hour suspensions (three for alcohol, two for drugs) and one was given a 12-hour suspension for alcohol. The numbers are high and baffling to the RCMP. “I’m surprised it’s quite high, especially over the weekend,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “People know, we’ve told them CounterAttack is com-

ing, yet I don’t know why people don’t learn and haven’t started to think ahead. “Maybe they think it (getting caught) won’t happen to them or they’re not planning for another ride home but (14 on the weekend) is a high number.” Several police watches conducted their own checks while members of the North Okanagan Traffic Services and Integrated Road Service Units conducted road checks on Highway 6 and 27th Street. Some of the IRPs happened during the day and Molendyk reminders motorists that road checks can happen at any time, day or night. “It could be a spot check or it could be an officer checking you because your driving is suspect,” he said. “At any given time throughout this holiday season, you

Index

could encounter a road check.” Provincewide, the start of CounterAttack has been, according to RCMP, “disappointing.” On Saturday, officers from 97 detachments in B.C. checked 32,877 vehicles across the province. Despite the publicity of the event, and education of the dangers of impaired driving, too many drivers still chose to get behind the wheel of their vehicle after consuming drugs or alcoholic beverages. Across the province, preliminary results from the blitz included: n Five impaired driving charges under the Criminal Code; n 104 90-day IRPs with 30 vehicles impounded; n 94 warning results with either three-, seven- or 30- day IRPs; n 17 roadside suspensions for drugs.

The cause remains under investigation though Blair said the fire did not appear to be suspicious.

Three weekend fires kept Vernon Fire Rescue Services crews busy. Firefighters responded to a bedroom fire in a home in the 2300 block of 36th Street just before midnight Friday. “It appears to have started in a closet,” said deputy fire chief Jack Blair. The fire ignited some cardboard boxes and other materials in the bedroom. “The door was closed to the bedroom so that helped contain the fire to the room of origin,” said Blair. “The guys quickly knocked it down, then made sure there was no other smouldering materials.” An occupant in the home smelled smoke and called the fire department.

Upon a closer look, the driver thought it might be smoke and called firefighters. “The cabin was a bunkhouse used by a worker who was away for the day, and the fire is believed to have started in a mechanical room,” said Blair. “It does not appear to be suspicious in nature, but accidental, and we’re investigating an on-demand water heater as a potential source.” The fire did melt some skylights in the building. Shortly before 1 a.m. Sunday, a smoke detector alerted residents of a home in the 1200 block of 28th Avenue. A fire had started in a bedroom ensuite, likely the result of a candle that fell over or fell on to a counter. All of the occupants got out safely but there was considerable fire damage to the ensuite and its contents. There were no injuries but emergency services personnel were again called as the house was inhabitable for the evening.

Governance study promoted RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

There’s calls for Greater Vernon’s governance to be investigated even if it’s lukewarm support. Coun. Catherine Lord told her colleagues Monday that the city should ask the provincial government to initiate a study into possibly merging Vernon with Coldstream and Areas B and C. “A study may lay things to rest once and for all,” she said, adding that the topic surfaces every few years. “I’d like to find out who’s in favour and who’s not.” However, Lord insists she is not endorsing amalgamation. “I have done reading on areas that have amalgamated and it hasn’t always been successful,”

“Residents have an easier voice in a smaller area...” — Catherine Lord

she said. “Residents have an easier voice in a smaller area than in a larger area.” Lord attempted to make a motion Monday calling for the province to do a restructure study of Greater Vernon. However, the issue was tabled because council will receive a presentation from the Society for the Future Governance of Greater Vernon in January. The society recently led a petition campaign pushing for a restructure

Grandview Avenue receiving upgrades RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Improvements will be made at a dangerous Lumby intersection. The village has been told by B.C. Hydro that lights will be installed at Grandview Avenue and Highway 6 while the Ministry of Transportation will improve signage. “It’s very good news,” said Coun. Nick Hodge, who first raised concerns about the intersection two weeks ago. “I am very pleased that something was done so quickNick Hodge ly.” Among the concerns about the intersection are it’s dark, there’s no left-turn lane for vehicles trying to access Grandview Avenue from the highway and there is no signage before the intersection informing motorists that Grandview Avenue is coming up. The ministry won’t agree to a left-turn lane but it has stated that signs will be installed so motorists are aware of the turn-off. Tree removal was also discussed during a meeting between the village and the ministry. “The ministry did identify two small coniferous trees located on the south boulevard of Highway 6 across from the Grandview Avenue intersection that they will have their staff investigate for removal,” said Tom Kadla, chief administrative officer, in a memo. “Private property tree removal to improve highway sight distances is only triggered and dealt with when an applicant applies for a permit to access their driveway on to a controlled highway. Since no access applications have been forwarded by property owners in that area, requests for tree removal on private property cannot be pursued by the provincial government.”

Coldstream and Areas B and C must also determine if there is a need to consider governance options. “Any study done by the province will only be done if there is at least one other willing partner.

Water meter success on tap ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

The City of Armstrong is touting its water meter installation project as a rousing success. In a report to council, chief financial officer Terry Martens said as of Dec. 3, there were about 106 homes out of a total of 1,800 that have yet to receive meters. “We’re at 94 per cent complete,” said Coun. Kelly Rowe, chairperson of the city’s finance committee. Of those 106 homes outstanding, a little more than half need meter pits to properly install the meters, which is more than originally anticipated. Only three homes steadfastly refused to have meters installed. Council approved a contract extension in June for the project to end Nov. 30. At that time, 550 meters were left to install. Council voted unanimously Monday to extend contractor Corix Utilities’ contract to May 31, 2014 to complete the project, and

“We’re at 94 per cent complete.”

— Kelly Rowe spend $80,000 to cover increased costs on the project. That money has been already included in the 2014 budget. Coun. Ryan Nitchie motioned to begin shadow, or “fake,” billing in 2014 to let residents know how much water they are using.

“I know we’re only at 94 per cent complete but that’s a significant number to start shadow billing in 2014,” said Nitchie. “It will give the vast majority of residents a chance to see what their water consumption is, and start billing in 2015.” As of now, all resi-

Shutting doors?

t was interesting to hear that the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce has blocked municipal representatives from attending regular board meetings. Now, of course, the chamber is completely within its rights, as an independent organization, to decide who sits around the table. But the chamber’s move comes at the same time that it’s wading into municipal matters. First off, the chamber is calling for a study into possibly merging Greater Vernon’s boundaries. “They don’t make sense any more. Now, decisions made by the City of Vernon can be of huge importance to the residents of Coldstream. And vice-versa,” said president Adrian Johnson in a recent letter to the editor. Richard Rolke Just a few days later, the chamber’s business improvement group for real estate and development challenged the city’s official community plan review. “In our current struggling local economy, economic development must be a key guiding principle to the future of Vernon. But unfortunately, it is only a mere mention regarding some brief goals with no action plans or accountability,” said Pamela Owen, committee chairperson. “We are a group of concerned professionals who are seeing business development turn away every day due to municipal red tape and lack of open-door policies. It is time the business community is heard.” The chamber is right to represent the interest of its members and these concerns obviously require attention by our municipal leaders. But one could make the argument that with the chamber demanding action on a number of fronts, now is the time for Vernon and Coldstream to be at the board table. If the chamber executive wanted to know more about how the municipalities operate

and whether amalgamation will create efficiencies, all they had to do was simply turn to the municipal representatives — Will Pearce, Vernon’s chief administrative officer, and Pat Cochrane, Coldstream councillor. In terms of the city’s OCP, a board meeting would be the perfect opportunity to provide one-on-one input on economic development and the measures that can be taken to reduce red tape and allow entrepreneurs to thrive. Based on what they heard at the chamber board meeting, Pearce and Cochrane could take that information back to their respective jurisdictions for consideration. Now the chamber insists that it isn’t ignoring the municipalities. Instead of participating in full board sessions, municipal representatives will attend those parts of meetings deemed to be relevant, as well as quarterly gatherings of the full chamber membership. “The presence of senior local government representatives at frequent meetings open to all our members creates a forum for regular twoway communication with the entire business community,” said Johnson. Obviously that’s a positive move, but quarterly meetings only occur four times a year, which means the communication lines can get pretty stale. By having Pearce and Cochrane at monthly meetings, the executive can be more proactive, including letting the membership know immediately about issues that may impact them. If it’s a critical item, then lobbying can begin right away. Regular meetings can also allow personal relationships to develop and that can be critical when trying to influence public policy. As I mentioned earlier, the chamber is totally within its right to change how meetings occur, although, except for Johnson saying, “One thing we are looking at is our governance model,” it’s not clear why this shift is necessary. In the end, time will tell if communications remain open with local government or if the chamber’s voice has diminished.

The local numbers, according to Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP, are surprising. Provincial numbers, according to those at head office, are disappointing. RCMP officers across the country kicked off their Christmas tradition over the weekend, the CounterAttack campaign, with a goal of targeting drivers impaired by alcohol or drugs. In the North Okanagan, while no impaired driving charges were laid, 14 motorists were given 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibitions (IRPs) after failing a roadside check and had their vehicles impounded. Provincially, more than 32,000 vehicles were checked on Dec. 7, the start of the CounterAttack campaign, and officers arrested five people for impaired driving and more than 100 motorists were issued 90-day driving prohibitions and had their vehicles taken away. What more can RCMP do to get their message out to drivers? The answer: nothing. Every year, the RCMP lets people know that during the holiday season, they are going to be out in full force, day or night, checking vehicles for driver impairment. This is not a new campaign. It’s been going on for years. RCMP detachments use social networks as well to get that message out. Yet, as the numbers indicate, people continue to ignore the message. It’s the holiday season, a time for celebrating with loved ones, friends and work colleagues. Go ahead and celebrate but plan ahead. Have somebody else drive you home. It really is that simple. Think of the consequences to you and others if you get caught, or worse, harm someone.

Carbon trust defends the Earth

egarding your obvious actual hatred of Pacific Carbon Trust, I have a wee question and comment from little ‘ol me here in Armstrong; Spallumcheen, actually. What is your issue against Planet Earth? What issue have you against government rules that say “we mean business when it comes to the retrieval of Planet Health?” Are you jealous because the party you support doesn’t have the courage to enact real legislation? What goes around does come around, you know. The fact is, signed on green communities in B.C. have shown that a carbon footprint can be lowered, without the cost of losing jobs. Ironically, stimulating, good-paying

right to die Polls suggest 79 per cent of Quebecers and 68 per cent of the rest of the country support euthanasia (Macleans, Nov 4, National “The Fight for the Right to Die”), why then does Quebec have to describe their attempt for assisted suicide as “end of life care for the terminally ill”? The federal government should rewrite the criminal code to ensure protection of the vulnerable but also allow those who wish, the right to choose how and when to die. I survived cancer and not afraid of dying, just the indignity of the process. A dignified death choice would spare me and my family the slowness, pain and other unpleasant aspects of the current death process. My mother, 91, lost her battle with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. She had enjoyed excellent health and loved music, reading and communicating using e-mail, texting and Facebook. As the disease progressed, that quality of life became just a past memory and she no longer wished to continue living. Unfortunately, society made her final chapter of life long and very unhappy. She was shuffled to a criti-

It was five minutes to six when we arrived to a busy room of folks, from a mom with two toddlers to several older folks wrapped in blankets sitting in whatever corner they could find to wait for help. We were admitted, tagged and sent to our chairs – to wait. And wait we did. After four hours some blood was taken and an ECG given. Then we were sent to our chairs again… to wait. I so understand what triage means, and I do understand there are emergencies coming in via ambulances..… but whoa… my friend was having an emergency too. At midnight we were still waiting. I approached a staff member and asked politely about seeing a doctor, after all it had been six hours since being admitted. She said, sorry. But we only have one doctor in Emerg. I thought I hadn’t heard right… one doctor. OK maybe our wonderful Interior Health can’t afford to have two doctors on at once. Why couldn’t they have a call board of sorts, maybe retired doctors? Sorta like Doctors On Call – we could call them DOCS. And they could come in for a few hours when things get hectic in Emerg? OK no doctors, how about a

No little kiosk where waiting families could have a little perk while waiting for loved ones to get processed? There was a machine dispensing cold drinks, but the change machine was out of order, so if you didn’t have the right change you were also out of luck. Are we having fun yet? It would have been a little comforting if a staff member, of any kind, would have come over and asked how we were feeling and to tell us the doctor would be seeing us as soon as…. Finally about 1 a.m. a doctor called my friend in. She needed another blood test since the one she had when we arrived was now over four hours old and not acceptable… Another hour to take, spin and read the results of the test. At 2 a.m., after waiting eight hours, we were told we could go home (the mom with the two toddlers was still there). My friend is going to see her own doctor this week for a follow up of the diagnosis given. I am not complaining about the medical people at VJH. I am complaining bitterly

about the procedures that we have to endure when coming to the Emergency, when we are already stressed out. This is just not acceptable. Joanne taylor

Lumby flood concerns rise RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Frustration over potential flooding is boiling over in Lumby. Officials are not satisfied with the response coming from the provincial government or the Regional District of North Okanagan about mitigating damage from high water. “Spring is coming fast and there’s been no concrete decision by anyone,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. “No one is saying shut the taps off or they are going to study the issue.” There was considerable flooding in the community last spring, and the village has been demanding that RDNO reduce levels on Duteau Creek reser-

voirs to accommodate snowmelt and reduce the risk of flooding downstream. There are also calls on the provincial government to take action because of the impact pine beetle kill has caused in the watershed. “Our 1,700 taxpayers can’t be making changes like that. We don’t have the financial resources,” said Acton. In a letter to council, Forests Minister Steve Thomson says he has asked his staff to discuss flooding with the village further. “They will determine the extent to which they can assist Lumby on reaching an acceptable arrangement with the regional district as well as consider whether site inspections of the water control structures would be appropriate and helpful under the circumstances,” he said.

Council keeps eye on facilities RICHARD ROLKE

There’s a growing need to keep an eye on public assets in Lumby. Coun. Nick Hodge will be appointed to a committee to oversee property owned by the village. “The golf course and the cemetery need attention,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. “We want there to be an ear for residents who have concerns about these properties.” Acton has also made several other appointments for 2014. Coun. Jo Anne Fisher will be the village’s representative to the Lumby Chamber of Commerce and Lumby Seniors Housing Society, while Coun. Lori Mindnich will go to Okanagan Regional Library. Coun. Randal Ostafichuk will be a member of the White Valley Parks, Recreation and Culture Committee and liaison to the Lumby Days Society. Hodge is a delegate to the Municipal Insurance Association and Acton’s duties include the Regional District of North Okanagan. Acton used to be a liaison to the White Valley Community Resource Centre, but he will now go to the Lumby Health Services Society, while Mindnich will be the representative to the resource centre. “I’d like to see what the health services society does and to get more involved there,” said Acton.

A holiday tradition returns

Opera singers Paul and Melina Moore present their first Christmas concert together in five years Morning Star Staff

After a five-year hiatus, local opera sensations Paul and Melina Moore are bringing their homegrown holiday tradition back to the stage for another season of music, magic and mistletoe. Back in 1996, the Moores, who met and married in New York City where they were both studying at The Juilliard School, made their move west and began a musical holiday tradition that would span more than 10 years. “Our first year, we sang a few Christmas tunes at the Schubert Centre, complete with audience sing-alongs,” said Melina. “From there, we moved the show to All Saints Anglican Church and watched it grow each year. We began inviting guest artists and adding more performances, selling out each one annually.” Upon completion of the Vernon Performing Arts Centre in October, 2001, A Merry Moore Christmas was one of the first holiday shows to grace the centre’s stage, and the Moores carried on the tradition in their new venue. The show would soon become a box office holiday hit, selling out three performances within a week, beginning in 2002.

melina and Paul moore join their formidable voices and bring in other talents from the community for their new Christmas production at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre, Friday, dec. 20 and Saturday dec. 21. The production grew to involve other local performers and community groups. “We’ve shared our Christmas stage with local choirs, dance groups, and guest artists from around the world. We’ve been blessed with many amazing local sponsors as well,” said Melina. “It was astounding to watch the show

grow. People would tell us that it didn’t feel like Christmas until they came to our production,” added Paul. When the couple amicably parted ways in 2007, the tradition was put on hold. This year will be monumental in that not only is this the first time the Moores have shared the Performing Arts Centre’s stage at

Christmas in more than five years, the duo will be joined by more local talent than ever before. “We are excited to be in a place where we can join forces again and make our music,” said Paul. “We have missed singing together. No one ever knows what turns life will take. Fortunately, we have always been able to keep in sight what’s important. And at Christmas, that’s sharing and giving,” said Melina.“It is a joy to sing with Paul again. Standing beside him and blending our voices, it feels like no time has ever passed.” Joining the Moores this year are local jazz chanteuse Judy Rose, pianist Jim Leonard, dancers from City Dance Studio led by Heather Stranks and Jens Goerner, local choreographer and dancer Lisa Schofield, the Seaton C-Tones and Honors Choir led by Lana O’Brien, and the students of Valley Vocal Arts. “The Moore, the merrier! What fun it is to spread extra holiday cheer by involving this talented and giving community. Not only will there be singing, but waltzing, jiving, rousing ensemble pieces, touching children’s numbers and so much more,” said Melina. “It feels good to remember what being a singer is all about and what it means to give back to a community which has given so much to us.” Christmas with Paul and Melina Moore and Friends takes place at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Friday, Dec. 20 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 21 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for students at the Ticket Seller, 549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.

Rise up to the sounds of Julie Masi at Vernon Jazz Club Former Parachute Club member now lives in the Okanagan and will be joined by some of the Valley’s top musicians AmAndA morAzAin For the Morning Star

The Vernon Jazz Club will go for a thrill ride when Julie Masi, formerly of The Parachute Club, takes the stage this Saturday night. Masi will be joined by a star-studded band including Steve Soucy on keyboard, Loni Moger on guitar, and Scott Gamble on drums. The evening will include a variety of genres from jazz to country and blues to contemporary. Audience members will be treated to songs made popular by Billie Holiday, Tracy Chapman, Stevie Wonder, Leonard Cohen, and Patsy Cline. When explaining why she loves to sing so many genres, Masi, who is based in Kelowna, says, “I love learning, exploring, and improvising with as many different styles of music as I can. I get excited when I can re-arrange a song to make it my own, helping me to develop a deeper understanding of the song, its lyrical content and myself as a singer.” Masi is no stranger to performing. She is well known as a vocalist, percussionist, and cowriter for the gold and platinum selling group The Parachute Club. Their unforgettable hit, Rise Up, was heard on radio stations all over the world and

won the 1984 Juno for Single of the Year. Masi herself has six Juno awards under her belt. She has worked with giants in the field such as Alannah Myles, Dan Hill, Bruce Cockburn, and David Foster. She has also penned a few songs for artists such as Martha and the Muffins, Raffi and has collaborated with the band Images in Vogue. Soucy is a five-time consecutive winner of the B.C. Country Music Keyboardist of the Year award. Moger is a graduate from the prestigious Berklee College of Music and has worked with countless musicians both as a sideman and leader, including Tuck and Patti, Bo Didley, Big Miller, and Moe Koffman. Gamble is a top-class, first-call drummer in the Okanagan. He is comfortable in any genre and compliments every band he is a part of. He was named musician of the year at the 2006 B.C. Interior Music Awards and is also a successful graphic artist. Masi takes the stage at the Vernon Jazz Club (3000-31st St.) Saturday at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:15. Tickets are $20 at the Bean Scene, Bean to Cup and at www.vernonjazz.ca. You can also get your tickets now for the New Year’s Eve show at the Vernon Jazz Club. The Salmon Armenians, an award-winning roots ‘n’ blues party band, will be there to help ring in the new year. Doors open at 8 p.m. with opening act Hannah Gomme. Tickets includes delicious appetizers throughout the evening, hats and party favours, as well as a glass of sparkling wine at the stroke of midnight. Tickets are limited and can be purchased for $50 at www.vernonjazz.ca.

Sadok leaps to Lumby with festive cheer Morning Star Staff

The Monashee Arts Council has a festive, family-oriented evening of fun planned Saturday when the Sadok Ukrainian Dance Ensemble performs at the White Valley Community Centre in Lumby. The Sadok Ukrainian Dance Ensemble of Vernon has been entertaining residents of the Okanagan for 15 years. Sadok translates to “orchard” and since the ensemble’s successful start, they have continued to spark audiences with colourful and entertaining performances

wrapped in a lovely tapestry of their traditional Ukrainian-Canadian heritage, said Jennifer Greenwood, arts and culture program coordinator with the Monashee Arts Council. “With Sadok there is excitement, colour and wonderful Ukrainian-Canadian spirit.” Under the artistic direction of Andrea Malysh, Sadok’s performances have carried them throughout B.C., Alberta and to Disneyland, California. Their travels have taken them all the way to Ukraine twice, once in 2006 and more recently in July of this year.

Cherryville Elementary School Grade 6 student Kerissa Currie wears and shows her glass art at Saturday’s very cold, yet successful Show in the Snow at the Cherryville Artisans Shop. The students worked with glass artist Helen Kovacs to make and sell their own creations at the show, which saw visitors from Kelowna and Vernon. The remaining glass artwork will be available for sale at the Cherryville Artisans Shop and will also be available at the Christmas concert at Cherryville Elementary Dec. 19. Proceeds from the students’ art sales go to the school’s parental advisory committee.

B.C. 4-H gets a helping hand 4-H clubs help to develop today’s youth into tomorrow’s leaders Morning Star Staff

“You know, if every kid in the inner cities in this country belonged to 4-H, we wouldn’t have much of a crime problem,” said former U.S. president Bill Clinton in an address to Montana State University in 1995. The public doesn’t often think of 4-H clubs as being a crime prevention tool, but it’s one of the many positive side effects of the program, which in Canada is celebrating 100 years in existence — B.C. marks 100 years of the program in 2014. As part of the B.C. 4-H provincial council’s efforts to recruit new members, connect with alumni and attract sponsors, the “Revolution of Responsibility” tour was launched in 2012 with the help of $20,000 over two years corporate sponsorship from CIBC. The results are tangible, with an increase in enrolment in 2013 of more than five per cent with 2,200 B.C. youth ages six to 21 involved in more than 160 clubs with more than 600 volunteer leaders in B.C. and the Yukon. While beef and

horse projects are amongst the most popular, the Cloverbud program which introduces six to eight-year-olds to the program has quickly gained traction as have many nonagriculture 4-H projects like photography, outdoor living, canine and many others that urban youth can take part in with all the same benefits. This year nearly 20 per cent of the 4-H members in B.C are in non-agriculture programs. One quarter of 4-H enrolment in B.C. is in the ThompsonOkanagan region. “There has been steady growth in those projects with both urban and rural members, because they can do more than one project at a time, a member could have a horse and do photography for instance,” said Kevin Rothwell, manager of B.C. 4-H 4-H is designed to develop the young people of today into the leaders of tomorrow by providing them with opportunities to learn and grow within their environment. 4-H’ers learn many life skills through the 4-H motto of “Learn To Do By Doing.” Members achieve lifelong learning through conducting meetings, holding an office position within their club, maintaining accurate records and public speaking opportunities. Working in a team, developing leadership skills, meeting deadlines, becoming responsible citizens, and giving back to their

On behalf of CIBC, financial advisor Les Slimmon accepts an award of recognition from Karen Fenske, fund development coordinator for B.C. 4-H, for the bank’s sponsorship of the program. communities is all a part of the 4-H experience. These critical skills are developed using the four H’s that make up the 4-H symbol: Head, Heart, Health and Hands. Joining 4-H gives youth scholarship and travel opportunities, Grade 11 and 12 school credits, the chance to meet new people from all over the province, Canada and other countries, provincial programs that focus on building leadership, teamwork and other fundamental life skills. “I hear from employers that tell us if they see 4-H involvement on a young person’s resumé, that candidate moves to the top of the pile,” said Rothwell. “There are just so many good reasons to be

involved and if that has world leaders thinking that it’s a great crime prevention tool, well that’s icing on the cake!” A long-term American study started in 2007 by Tufts University has found that 4-H youth are twice as likely to be physically active, twice as likely to go to college or university and more than three times as likely to be involved in their communities, than their non 4-H peers. Many B.C. 4-H programs like “Join the Revolution of Responsibility” are made possible with the generous support of partners like CIBC.

Keep those poinsettias going

s I write this column, it is still very cold but the temperature is starting to warm up a little. I hope this is it for the rest of the winter. With no snow on the ground, some of the plants might have got some damage with the very cold wind we had. Another week or so and the days will be getting longer. So far everything seems to be doing well inside in my jungle. My Christmas cactus is blooming very nicely and some Jocelyne Sewell of the geraniums that have lost a few leaves have buds and some have flowers. My cutting of impatiens is also blooming. In the fall I had some very nice hot pepper plants. I just could not leave them to die in the cold. I transplanted them and took them inside. Last week I cut off the small ripe peppers and I am drying them for later use. The green ones that were left on the plants are turning red. For you who want to save your poin-

A GArdener’s diAry

settias for another year, protect plants from temperatures under 50 degrees F (10 C). Chilling causes the leaves to drop. Place plants in a room where there is sufficient natural light. Poinsettias must have at least six hours of bright indirect light to thrive. Never allow them to sit in water and only water when the soil feels dry to the touch. Keep the plant from touching cold windows. Keep poinsettias away from warm or cold drafts from radiators, air registers or open doors and windows. Ideally, poinsettias require daytime temperatures of 60 to 70 degrees F (16C to 21C) and night time temperatures around 55 degrees F. (13C). High temperatures will shorten the plant’s life. Move the plant to a cooler room at night, if possible. Check the soil daily. Water plants thoroughly after purchase. Be sure to punch holes in foil so water can drain into a saucer, and discard excess water. Water when soil is dry. Wilted plants will tend to drop bracts sooner. Fertilize the poinsettia if you keep it past the holiday season. Apply a houseplant fertilizer once a month. Do not fertilize when it is in bloom. With good care, a poinsettia

will last six to eight weeks in your home. With a little extra care, it is possible to keep your poinsettia year-round and have it bloom the following Christmas. In February, your poinsettia flower will have faded and lateral growth will have begun. In March, remove flower and cut stems to six inches. June 1, repot the plant in a larger pot, if necessary, and plant outside in the pot. July, pinch all lateral shoots to four inches. End of August, dig up the pot and bring the poinsettia inside. From Sept. 20 until Dec. 1, keep the poinsettia in light from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Place in a dark place (eg. closet) from 5 p.m. until 8 a.m. By following these cyclical tips, your poinsettia will return to its full bloom later in December. Once poinsettias finish that process, the plants require abundant light during the day for the brightest colour. A lot of time and money has gone into research and testing to prove that poinsettias are not poisonous. This will be my last column for the year and I will be back on Jan. 8. I wish all of you merry Christmas, happiness and peace in your heart. For information: 250-558-4556.

A taste of Christmas in Quebec

ot to forget the other half of our bilingual nation, I want to touch a little on the French traditions at Christmas. Christmas Eve is a time for the réveillon when Québécois traditionally hold a dinner and dancing party that lasts all night. People sleep during the day to be fresh and ready to feast and frolic on Christmas Eve. For many families, the réveillon usually is the biggest feast of the year: a large banquet where traditional dishes abound, such as tourtière (a special French-Canadian meat pie), ragoût de patte (pig’s feet stew), turkey with all the trimmings, vegetables, ham, pea soup, maple syrup and so much more. Depending on the guests and hosts, the réveillon could be held before, instead of, or after the traditional midnight mass. The feast is usually followed by dancing and the exchange of gifts, when

Père Noël (Santa Claus) makes an appearance to hand out the gifts. It would be wonderful to experience this tradition or parts of it. Perhaps a start could be to make a traditional tourtiere for Christmas Eve dinner or to add the cake dessert below which will engage more than the taste buds. French-canadian TourTiere 1 pound lean ground pork 1/2 pound lean ground beef 1 onion, diced 1 clove garlic, minced 1/2 cup water 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1/2 tsp. dried thyme, crushed 1/4 tsp. ground sage 1/4 tsp. ground

black pepper 1/8 tsp. ground cloves 1 recipe pastry for a 9-inch double crust pie Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). In a saucepan, combine pork, beef, onion, garlic, water, salt, thyme, sage, black pepper and cloves. Cook over medium heat until mixture boils; stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and simmer until meat is cooked, about 5 minutes. Spoon the meat mixture into the pie crust. Place top crust on top of pie and pinch edges to seal. Cut slits in top crust so steam can escape. Cover edges of pie with strips of aluminum foil. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, remove foil and return to oven. Bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool 10 minutes before slicing. Mieux que le GaTeau de Sexe 10-1/4 ounces

Realtor recognized A Vernon realtor is being honoured for her commitment to the community. Sandra Bradley, of Re/Max, is the 2013 recipient of the Realtors Care Award for the North Okanagan zone of the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board. “Her diligent and ongoing support for bettering the lives of children in need in the Vernon area exemplifies those realtors who have made long-term contributions to the communities in which they live,” said Karen Singbeil, OMREB president. Since 2006, Bradley’s Children’s Christmas Workshop program has col-

lected donations of gently used items to be re-gifted for moms and dads. Children are able to shop for gifts priced from five cents to $1 while their parents enjoy a cup of coffee and cookies. The items are wrapped and tagged so these kids can proudly place a gift for their parents under the tree. The proceeds of the sale are donated to the children of the People Place Society. “It is amazing to see the diverse ways our realtors give back, the leadership they take and the good example they set for others. Their community spirit remains undeterred,” said Janice Myers, OMREB executive director.

Greater Vernon residents have an alternative to driving during the winter. Road conditions such as heavy snow and black ice can be a challenge for motorists. “When conditions are difficult, please consider transit as an option,” said Wendy Majewski, transportation demand management co-ordinator. “Vernon Transit riders can take advantage of the extended early morning and evening service to travel to work, school and shopping. On Fridays and Saturdays, travel safely to holiday celebrations.” For a complete transit guide that includes holiday hours, go to w w w.bctransit.com/ regions/ver/ridersguide.cfm. Transit fares in Vernon are $2 per adult, with discounts available when you purchase sheets of tickets or monthly passes that are available at city hall, Okanagan College or Nolan’s Pharmasave. “The city has installed temporary public washroom facilities at the downtown transit exchange on the north side of 31st Avenue. They are open the same hours as transit,” said Majewski. There is no bus service, including handyDART, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.

Kalamalka Lake are invited to hit the water Saturday. Kalavida Surf Shop presents the Winter Chill paddle at 2 p.m., raising donations for the Salvation Army food bank. “We had approximately 20 people last year,” said Kevin O’Brien of Kalavida. The annual event draws stand up paddlers from across the region for a short trek around the north end of Kal Lake. “We know snowboard and ski season is in full effect, but we’re throwing down our annual Winter Chill Paddle just to change it up,” said O’Brien. Paddlers can meet at Kalavida Surf Shop between 1 to 2 p.m. to get ready. Rental boards are available by donation to the food bank and all participants are urged to bring a non-perishable food donation. Paddlers can warm up after the event with, “the best hot chocolate you’ll ever taste,” according to O’Brien. There will also be prize draws and just a chance to connect before the holidays pass us by. “We are paddling for sure,” said O’Brien. For more information visit www.kalavidasurfshop.com

Putnam opening draws a crowd Morning Star Staff

It was a dash for the powder as Silver Star Mountain Resort opened the Putnam Creek side on the weekend. Skiers rose early to make it up to the top of the Comet Express chair to reach the entrance to the backside where they were held back initially behind a rope until the ski patrol opened the area. “The dropping of the rope has become

Silver Star’s version of the running of the bulls,” said Anne Haight, sales and marketing director. “It’s a free-for-all as every skier charges ahead to compete for fresh tracks.” Putnam Creek has 1,900 acres of skiable terrain with 90 per cent of its runs being made up of black and double black diamond runs. This side of the mountain was first open in the 1980s and the runs

are long, steep and serviced by its own high-speed lift, the Powder Gulch Express. Groomers, zipperline moguls and narrow chutes comprise most of the runs. It was a busy weekend for Silver Star. On Saturday, the resort held a Christmas celebration in the village with fire jugglers, marshmallow roasting, hot chocolate, sleigh rides and a visit from Santa.

Lumby RCMP officers have responded over the past several weeks to numerous thefts from vehicles in the Cedar Ridge area and the Valleyview Trailer Park. “Someone was systematically going from houseto-house checking every vehicle,” said Cpl. Henry Proce. “It appears the suspect was looking for unlocked vehicles with keys, loose change, or any items of value.” During the early hours of Dec. 2, dozens of vehicles were entered and two vehicles were stolen from those areas. One Henry Proce was recovered at the trailer park and the other in Vernon. On Dec. 4, police arrested a 33-year-old Lumby resident in relation to the thefts. Police have forwarded 12 counts of theft to Crown counsel. Tagging continues A sharp-eyed constable doing patrols caught two youths tagging, or spray painting, Charles Bloom Secondary School with graffiti near midnight Nov 29. One of the youth fled on foot when he spotted the police car. The second was apprehended on-scene. “The defacing of public and private buildings in Lumby has been an ongoing problem in the past and police treat the problem very seriously,” said Cpl. Henry Proce. A 17-year-old Lumby resident will be charged with mischief under the Criminal Code. Impaired drivers a concern The Lumby RCMP continues to apprehend impaired drivers with surprising regularity in the village area. The latest was an 80-year-old Lumby resident making his way through the village around midnight in late November at about 10 kilometres an hour. “Our officer checked him, he displayed gross symptoms of impairment and blew over the legal limit,” said Cpl. Henry Proce. “He is expected to face charges.” Public help needed Lumby police are requesting the public’s assistance after a hit-and-run in the Irly Bird parking lot Nov. 30 at 7:45 a.m. The victim’s parked, brown 2003 Toyota Highlander was sideswiped and pushed over some six inches. If you saw this accident or have information on the suspect vehicle, call the RCMP at 250-547-2151 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Too many people are arrested every holiday season after failing breathalyzer tests at police roadside checkpoints. Driving while intoxicated puts your own life in danger, but the worst thing is that it endangers the lives of other road users as well. Make sure that this festive time of year doesn’t end in tragedy for you or anyone else.

www.autoproservice.com

Christmas time often means one party after another with drinks galore. When you accept an invitation, plan ahead of time how you’re going to get home. Members of the same family or group of friends can designate a driver, arrange to share a taxi at the end of the evening, or use a free or for-hire drive home service. Even if your alcohol consumption is moderate you still ought to check that you’re still capable of driving safely. Use a personal breath alcohol tester to find out if you’re over the legal limit; they are on sale at most provincial liquor and wine stores. It might be hard to remember this when under the influence, but a person’s behaviour and faculties are altered by alcohol. When blood alcohol content is over 0.5 g/l, a driver’s field of vision shrinks, distance perception changes, visual reaction times increase, there is more sensitivity to glare, and vigilance and resistance to fatigue are reduced. Perhaps the ultimate danger is that alcohol consumption results in a loss of inhibition, which causes drivers to under-evaluate dangers and break traffic laws.

Pot campaign unsuccessful Black Press

The Sensible BC campaign to spark the decriminalization of marijuana in B.C. is officially up in smoke after falling short of its goal. Pot activists got 210,000 signatures or about twothirds of the 300,000 needed – 10 per cent of voters in all 85 B.C. ridings – for their initiative petition to potentially trigger a referendum. They had aimed for a target of 450,000 to provide a buffer against disqualified signatures. “It’s a pretty remarkable accomplishment,” said Sensible BC head Dana Larsen. “We’ve definitely demonstrated a high level of organization and support for this cause. Had we been operating under the rules of pretty much any other referendum system in the world, we would have qualified to be on the ballot.” He said the 4,500 registered petitioners – triple the number at the start of the 90-day campaign – reached the threshold required by Elections BC in 19 electoral districts and got at least eight per cent in five more. Successful local campaigns happened on much of Vancouver Island, the Kootenays and other parts of the Interior. But in the vote-rich Lower Mainland that holds the most districts, marijuana advocates came up short. They reached the 10 per cent threshold in just

Vancouver-West End and Vancouver-Mount Pleasant, with no other local wins in the rest of Metro Vancouver or the Fraser Valley. They came closest in the three North Shore ridings with eight per cent plus.

Fulton takes consolation Morning Star Staff

The Fulton Maroons stuffed the Westsyde Whundas of Kamloops 66-48 Saturday in the consolation final of the South Okanagan Hornets Senior Boys Invitational Basketball Tournament in Oliver. Tye Kitzman and Karanmeet Khatra each had 15 points, while Mike Rouault chipped in with a dozen points and a dozen rebounds. The Maroons opened by grounding the Kelowna Christian Knights 72-58 and then bowed 76-62 to the Hornets. Riley Beauchamp bagged 24 points and eight boards against Kelowna, while Cory Ang-Hamilton supplied 13 points and six assists. Rouault rung up 10 points and 15 rebounds. Rouault drained 23 points and pulled down 16 rebounds versus the Hornets. Kitzman had 15 points. Fulton opens the G.W. Graham Tournament Thursday afternoon in Chilliwack against the host Grizzlies. Meanwhile, rookie coach Mike Scheller and the senior girls Maroons went 1-2 and finished seventh at the George Elliot tourney in Lake Country. Fulton iced Heritage Park Highlanders of Mission 67-27 in their final game Saturday with Brittany Skrenek sinking 23 points, AJ Acura adding 11 and Brittany Aeichele pocketing eight. Lee Richardson was named game MVP. The Maroons fell 61-38 to the host Coyotes in their opener. Naz Wurz fired 11 points, while Erin Sakamoto and game MVP Skrenek each canned six. Fulton then lost 52-43 to the Pleasant Valley Saints with Wurz taking MVP by flushing a dozen points. Richardson and Skrenek each had 10 points. “This was opening action for our club and we definitely got better as the weekend went on,” said Scheller. “We played the girls in a number of positions and rotations to see where we are at early in the season. We need to work out some spacing and timing on offence, but our hustle and effort were great all weekend.” The Maroons begin play in the annual Vernon Panthers Invitational (PIT Classic) Friday at 12:20 p.m. versus the Immaculata Mustangs of Kelowna at Kalamalka Secondary. VSS opens against the Coyotes at 10:30 a.m. in the Panther Pit. The Rutland Voodoos, Princess Margaret Mustangs of Penticton, Mt. Boucherie Bears of West Kelowna, Okanagan Mission Huskies of Kelowna, NorKam Saints and Princeton Rebels round out the Classic roster. The final goes Saturday, 5:45 p.m. at VSS.

Jim Cotter watches from the back of the house as Tyrel Griffith, from left, Rick Sawatsky and John Morris tend to a rock in Sunday’s final of the Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings final in Winnipeg. Brad Jacobs of Ontario stopped Morris 7-4 in the Olympic Trials title game.

Sawatsky looks to Brier Morning Star Staff/Canadian Curling Association

The loss is still a little fresh, but Vernon’s Rick Sawatsky said it won’t be long before his Okanagan rink can look back on the Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings with a sense of satisfaction. Sawatsky, who curls with skip John Morris, Vernon’s Jim Cotter (fourth stones), Tyrel Griffith, alternate Jason Gunnlaugson and coach Pat Ryan, fell 7-4 to Brad Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. in the championship game Sunday afternoon at Winnipeg’s MTS Centre. The win earns Jacobs and teammates Ryan Fry, E.J. Harnden and Ryan Harnden the right to represent Canada at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia. “We had a great week,” said Sawatsky, who works for a utilities company in Kelowna. “It still stings a little bit, but once we give it a bit more time we’ll appreciate what we accomplished. One win short of our ultimate goal.”

The Morris foursome will now turn its attention to the Canadian Direct Insurance B.C. men’s playdowns, Feb. 5-9, in Vancouver. The provincial champ advances to the Tim Hortons Brier, March 1-9, at the Interior Savings Centre in Kamloops. “That’ll be plan B,” chuckled Sawatsky, whose rink gains automatic entry to provincials as the top B.C. team in the CTRS standings. The Morris crew also has two slam events – The National, March 12-16, in Fort McMurray, and Players’ Championship, April 15-20, in P.E.I. – on its dance card. Sawatsky said his team couldn’t do much more against a red-hot Jacobs rink that was surgeon-like in its hitting game. “You make one or two mistakes at that level, against a team that’s playing that well, that’s the difference between winning and losing. “They were the best team there all week and they proved it by going undefeated. To

do it there against that field is pretty amazing. They were on fire, making everything.” Jacobs, who won the Brier last year, is the first rink to go undefeated at the Canadian Olympic trials. “This is incredible,” he said. “What a special team we have. To go and win the Brier last year and now win the trials is unbelievable. I never thought that this would ever happen for a second.” Jacobs held a 5-4 lead going into the ninth end where Vernon’s Cotter drew to the top four, tempting Jacobs with a difficult slash double for two. The Jacobs team nailed the double to take a 7-4 lead and ran Morris out of rocks in the 10th. Meanwhile, Vernon’s Mark Longworth, supported by third Jamie Sexton, second Hugh Bennett and lead Mike Longworth, is entered in the six-team Okanagan playdowns this weekend in Kamloops. There are two berths into provincials up for grabs.

Home Building boys drop semi Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Home Building Centre Vipers bowed 7-6 to eventual champion South Side Athletic Club Lakewood Chev of Edmonton in the Banff Hockey Academy Bears Midget Challenge Cup semifinal Sunday. The Vipers went 3-0 in preliminary play with Jagger Williamson winning the scoring title with seven goals and 11 points in three games. Mitch Lukacs was third with three goals and eight points, while Cole Woodliffe was fourth with seven points. Woodliffe won the agility skating skills competition. “Even though we didn’t win the tournament, we showed that we could dominate teams at this level for long stretches of time,” said Vernon head coach Rob Spraggs. “If we can build on the weekend and find a way to keep that style of play for 60 minutes, we will be very tough to beat in January.” Woodliffe and Jeff Bochon each scored twice in the semifinal with Williamson and Scott Latwat earning singles. Austin Goss made 39 saves. In Saturday round-robin action, Vernon iced the Grande Prairie Storm 7-5 and grounded the Parkland Saints of Edmonton 7-3. Williamson (4), Nick Higgs, Lukacs and Carsn Richards provided offence versus the Storm with Lukacs, Gage Kopp, Zach Manton and Goss each recording two helpers. Josh Evans took the win over the Saints with Latwat firing the winner.

Kowalski nets OT winner

Matt Kowalski went roof daddy with two seconds left in overtime as the Sun Valley Source For Sports Vipers shaded the Penticton Vees 4-3 in Sunday’s final of the Trail Smoke Eaters Invitational Bantam Tournament. Connor Webb delivered some huge saves early with the Vees pressing, while Coleton Bilodeau put the Vipers up 3-2 on a powerplay before the Vees equalized on a scramble. Vernon shut down Spokane 5-0 in the semis with Kieran Watts blocking 13 shots, including a breakaway stop. The Vipers crushed Cranbook 8-1 and ambushed Lake Bonavista Breakers of Calgary 11-0 Saturday. The Watkin Motors Vipers bowed 7-1 to the Kelowna Rockets after edging the Kamloops Blazers 3-2 in Pee Wee Tier 1 play. Rowan Miller, with two goals, including the winner, and Tanner Brown, scored in Saturday night’s win at Priest Valley Arena. Ben King and Cameron Moger drew assists on the winner. The Nixon Wenger Pee Wee Vipers went 3-2 and just missed the playoff round in the Kelowna Tier 3 tournament. The Vipers lost 7-5 to the Victoria Ice Hawks Saturday morning with Nick Teale (4) and Cole Johnson adding one. Vernon erased a 4-1 deficit to clip

the North Vancouver Canucks 5-4 in a Saturday matinee and then smothered the Canucks 9-2 that same night. Kael Black, Connor Hansen, Evan Trottier and Nick Teale, with the winner, supplied the comeback snipes. Cole Johnson opened the scoring in the first minute of the game. The Vipers dug deep and played an inspired game in front of Tanner Witt Saturday night with Tanner Wright pulling the hat trick and Teale netting a deuce. Singles came from Ben Imrich, Tysen Fairweather, Lincoln Connor and Black. In Female Bantam A play, the Sladen Moore Lakers bowed 7-1 to league-leading Kamloops Mystix before icing the Kelowna Rockets 4-2. Samantha Head scored on a wrapa-round in the home loss, while Head (2), Andie Kaneda and Joirdan Butler supplied offence Sunday. Head won a draw to set up Kaneda for the 2-2 goal at Kal Tire Place, while Tylee Cooper fed Head for the winner and Butler converted a Juli Gilowski pass for insurance.

H&L Glass split Atom tilts

The H&L Glass Atom C Vipers ambushed the Kamloops Pee Wee A Girls Mystix 8-3 and lost 2-1 to the North Okanagan Atom C Knights. Nick Noren rung up 4+1 in the win, while singles went to Liam Remple, Chris Bond, Colby Restiaux and Quinn Soon. Emma Elders produced three helpers. Just six minutes in Saturday at Valleyview Arena, Teja Sheldrake set up Remple for a blooper-reel goal, as Remple’s bank shot from 180 feet slipped past the netminder. Chris Bond doubled Vernon’s lead, hammering in a low shot from the slot after John Spraggs’ attempt was blocked. Two minutes into the second, constant net presence Restiaux one-timed a Noren centering feed from close range. After Kamloops got on the board, Noren bagged two beauties in the last minute of the frame. Just 27 seconds after Noren notched the winner with some high heat to the glove side, he deflected in an Elders shot to make it 5-1. Noren completed his hat trick at the 6:29 mark with a picture goal, deking through the Mystix team and finishing with a move to the backhand. Soon followed with his own solo rush, topping it off with a spino-rama sling shot into the stick-side corner. Vernon’s defence trio of Soon, Remple and Adam Bourgeois were difference makers at both ends. In their Sunday tilt at Civic, Braden Schmiegelt opened the scoring two minutes in with a magnificent effort, dancing through the defence and roofing the puck. Jaret Cooper blanked the Knight shooters through his 30 minutes in the Vernon net, stopping all 11 shots. D-men Brock Holliday and Soon were also shot-blocking machines.

Road-weary Vipers derailed by Express Morning Star Staff

They rushed to get dressed after a ferry ramp malfunction Sunday morning. Some players downed Gatorade and flu medicines. Others tended to some bumps and bruises. Assistant coach Dave Robinson was too ill to stand behind the bench. Despite their troubles, the Vernon Vipers manned up and took the Coquitlam Express to the final seconds, giving up an emptynetter in a 4-2 B.C. Hockey League matinee loss before 475 fans at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre. The Snakes, who are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games, clipped the Cowichan Valley Capitals 3-2 the night before in Duncan. Vernon hosts the Trail Smoke Eaters Friday night at Kal Tire Place and visits the Salmon Arm SilverBacks Saturday night. “We played OK considering the circumstances,” said Viper head coach Jason Williamson. “We were up 2-1 after two periods and I was saying, ‘Let’s hold on.’ Then they get a powerplay goal (44 seconds into the third) and a point shot found its way through for the winner.” Coquitlam (16-14-0-2) got powerplay snipes from Marc Biega and Ryan Rosenthal to hold off the Vipers (18-8-3-4). Ben Israel and Canon Piper, into an empty net with six seconds left, completed the Express attack. Michael McNicholas and defenceman Jared Wilson replied for Vernon, who were outshot 28-19. Gordie Defiel took the win, while Austin Smith suffered the loss. The Vipers are second in the Interior Division, one point back of the Penticton Vees, 7-1 winners over the injury-riddled Surrey Eagles Saturday night.

ANDREW LEUNG/BLACK PRESS

Daniel Wanner (middle) of the Cowichan Valley Capitals is pokechecked by Jason Bird of the Vernon Vipers in B.C. Hockey League action Saturday night in Duncan. Dexter Dancs trails the play. McNicholas, named BCHL Player of the Week, moved into third place in the league points derby with 17 goals and 44 points. Rosenthal became the league’s fourth 20-goal man. Dancs also had one assist and earned second star. He is tied for 11th in points at 14-24-38. With forwards Mason Blacklock and Brendan Persley joining d-man Ryan Renz on injured reserve, the Vipers used Major Midget call-ups Linden Hora of Kelowna and Dante Hannoun of Delta on an energy line with Matty Saharchuk. The 5-foot-6 Hannoun, whose older brother Demico, plays for the Vipers, is prop-

erty of the WHL Victoria Royals after being taken 11th overall in the 2013 Bantam draft. Viper d-man Jason Bird, traded by the Express last year, fought Israel in the second period after Israel nailed Chase McMurphy with a high hit. In Duncan, the Vipers were outshot 29-22 but held an edge in puck possession with McNicholas (2) and Dancs supplying the goals before 850 fans at the Island Savings Centre. The Vipers went up 3-0 early in the second period before Sam Curleigh and Jordan Topping countered for the Caps (12-21-0-1). Danny Todoyschuk earned the win, while

Robin Gusse took the loss. “We started well, going up 3-0,” said Williamson. “They played us physical and made it hard on us. They were very good. That’s a tough place to play, with the size of the rink and the atmosphere.” Todoyschuk was seeing his first action in a few weeks. “Danny made a few big saves early to get himself in the game. He was good,” said Williamson. Hora and North Okanagan Knights’ F Blaine Caton saw a handful of shifts against the Caps, who added blueliners Valik Chickin and Matthew Berry-Lamontagna in trades last week. The Caps lost big in a pair of deals when speedy forward Ambrose Firkus (West Kelowna Warriors) and d-man Clint Filbrandt (Penticton) refused to report. The Vipers moved into 17th spot in the Canadian Junior Hockey League’s top-20 rankings, but they are hardly gloating over the stat. The CJHL doesn’t have universal rules on the allowed number of 20- and 17-year-olds. “We don’t put much stock in it because there’s no way to base anything like strength of schedule,” said Williamson. “It’s nice, but we don’t think about it too much.” West Kelowna grounded the SilverBacks 4-1 Sunday at the Shaw Centre with Vernon product Alex Gillies getting his 21st goal of the year for Salmon Arm. Gillies pocketed three helpers as the host SilverBacks iced the Langley Rivermen 4-1 Saturday night. Salmon Arm and the Merritt Centennials are both six points back of Vernon.

Knights rise up against division leaders Morning Star Staff

After losing to the last-place Princeton Posse Friday night, the North Okanagan Knights knocked off the top two teams in the Okanagan Division of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. The Knights surprised the first-place Kelowna Chiefs 3-2 Saturday night in Rutland and then brushed off the secondplace Osoyoos Coyotes 5-4 in a Sunday matinee at Nor-Val Sports Centre. The Knights are 16-13-0-1 and third, one point behind the Coyotes. “We played really well in both games,” said Vernon product Dennon Leibel, who scored twice against Kelowna and once versus Osoyoos, giving him five on the season. “We’re coming together and our defensive game has really improved. Our big guys are coming through with some big hits to get us going.” Ryan Kelm, (fourth), captain TJ Christensen, with (fifth), Brett Hawrys (seventh) and Morgan Johnston also had Knights’ snipes Sunday. Johnston’s seventh of the year came on the powerplay with 2:32 left in the third period. Tanner Cochrane and Blake Culbert drew assists. Rory Neary, Colin Chmelka, Aaron Azvedo and Jackson DeMatos replied for the 17-13 Coyotes, who outshot the Knights 47-33. Zach Dyment took the win, Lawrence Langan the loss before 100 fans. Nick Josephs produced his 34th snipe, on an early powerplay, to give Kelowna the lead Saturday. Leibel, on the powerplay, and

North Okanagan Knights’ d-man Ryley Booth (right) pokes the puck away from Osoyoos Coyotes’ forward Rory Neary during the Knights' 5-4 KIJHL win Sunday afternoon at Nor-Val Sports Centre. Christensen, put the Knights up 2-1 after one period in front of 250 fans. Leibel, from d-man Ryley Booth, made it 3-1 Knights early in the second period. Colton Dachwitz had the Chiefs’ goal in the third with Kelowna outshooting North Okanagan 19-8. “They were going in off the post in Kelowna and in North Ok, I put it in an open net,” laughed Leibel, a rookie who played

Major Midget in Kelowna last year. “The goalie tried to dump it down and he gave it right to me.” The skate-till-ya-drop Leibel is having a blast playing with Enderby’s Hawrys, and Logan Mostat of Salmon Arm. “I like playing with Hawrys; he’s a really good player. We find each other out there. Mostat is a grinder with good hands so when we get in the offensive zone, we’re not afraid

to give it to him.” Dyment went the distance, as did Connor DeMelo of the 20-8-0-3 Chiefs. “Zach really came through for us against Kelowna,” said Leibel. “They had a couple of powerplays and he came up big.” North Okanagan entertain the Spokane Braves (10-18-0-3) Friday night before visiting the Chiefs Sunday afternoon. Meanwhile, former Vernon Laker forward Darren Naylor resigned as coach of the KIJHL Revelstoke Grizzlies on Friday, citing family reasons. Naylor was commuting from Vancouver and quit following a practice on Thursday. On Friday, he told the Times Review he had resigned before he told owner Lewis Hendrickson the news. “Basically my No. 1 thing is my family,” he said. “I’ve been traveling back and forth between there and the coast and it’s weighing on me.” Naylor inherited a team that had done no recruiting and attempted to assemble a competitive roster as players came and went from Revelstoke. His departure appeared to buoy the spirits of the Grizz. “Something had to lift the spirits here, something had to change,” said captain Devon Hascarl, a Vernon product. “It’s never easy bringing somebody new in, re-learning everything, but then again, the guys are excited for a change.” On the ice, the Grizzlies lost 10-2 to the Chase Heat Sunday in Revelstoke after bowing 6-2 to the Sicamous Eagles.

Bombers capture gold Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Newalta Bombers capped a terrific Tween B ringette weekend by capturing gold at the Spirit of Winter Tournament last weekend in Langley. The Bomb squad rode four goals from Makayla Vanderzwan, and got stellar goaltending from tournament MVP Aleisha Smith, to beat the Richmond Roar 7-6 in the goldmedal game. Bryn Taylor-Hawes, with a pair, and Emma Lochhead rounded out the scoring to help Vernon avenge an 8-2 loss to the Roar in round-robin play. The Bombers opened the event with a 4-3 win over Delta, with game MVP Jill Pipke picking up a pair, singles going to Vanderzwan and Miranda Chapple. Smith was stellar in the dying minutes. Vernon then beat Surrey/White Rock 9-3 with Chapple (2+2), game MVP Kenzie Koshure and Vanderzwan each pocketing a deuce. Ellen Campbell, Pipke and Taylor-Hawes added singles. Following the loss to Richmond, Vernon capped preliminary play by brushing back Port Coquitlam 4-3. Chapple netted two goals for game MVP, while Carley Newman and Vanderzwan completed the offence. The Bombers reached the final doubling Delta 8-4 in the semis.

Game MVP Vanderzwan and Chapple each turned a hat trick, singles coming from Taylor-Hawes and Lochhead. Koshure notched three assists. The Rockstar Drywall Adrenaline Rush earned Junior A silver in Langley after falling 7-4 to Calgary’s Bowview in the championship game. Kendra Ostafie, with a hat trick, Shelby Connors and Maddie Powls supplied the Vernon offence in support of netminder Garrett Adams, who was steady all weekend. The Rush opened the tourney with a 2-1 loss to Bowview Friday. Alex Drury, assisted by Caleb Pope, supplied the lone goal. Connors, Drury, Ostafie and Taigan Radomske found the net as Vernon rebounded by stuffing Delta River Force 4-3 Saturday. The Rush had huge games from Drury (3), Ostafie (2+3), Radomske (2+1), Connors (2+1), Saige Woodliffe (1+4), Saylor Martian and Maddy Percy as they thumped Fraser Valley Impact 12-1. Ostafie, with a deuce, and Drury, Radomske and Woodliffe found the scoresheet as Vernon bounced the Kelowna Force 5-2. In Sunday’s semifinal, Ostafie (2), Connors and Drury showed scoring touch in a 4-2 win over

Delta. Hannah Popilchak chipped in with three assists. In Junior B action in Langley, the Vernon Uprising claimed fourth place after falling 5-2 to the Prince George Pitbulls in the bronze-medal tilt. Rebecca Van Eyck fired both goals for Vernon in the final game. Other tournament scorers include: Anastasia Pelletier (from Van Eyck), Van Eyck (from Marlee Deboer and Miranda Blatney), and Ashleigh Cohen (from Blatney). Maddie Johnson backed the team with solid netminding. In Tween A league play, Kaila Summerfelt picked up the win as Vernon blasted Westside 13-3 Sunday. Alyssa Racine (3), Hailey Quiring (2+5), Evangeline Koshure (2+3), Aly Carter (2+1), Courtaney Bacon (2), Winter Vanderveen (1+2) and Abygayle Williamson took care of the offence. Jaden Scott fired both goals as the Advertising Works Victory skated to a 2-2 draw with the Kelowna Chiefs in Petite play Saturday. Facing Kelowna #2 Sunday, Scott and Grace Cornell each converted twice as Vernon earned a 7-4 win. Hannah McMorran, Brynn Koral and Allassa Johnson supplied one goal apiece.

In other Petite action, the Vernon Roar bowed 6-5 to Kelowna in a hard-fought battle. The shorthanded Roar got three goals from Julie Francis and two from Georgia Lannon. Mackenzie Gilman, Chayse Krause and Amy Demetrick all pitched in with assists. Liam Van Wyk was stellar in net. Vernon Ice Dragons smoked out the Westside Wolverines 7-1 in weekend Novice play. Amber Lowe led the Dragon assault with three goals, with other offence coming from Brooklyn Lewis (1+2), Rhys Taylor-Hawes, Brianna Visser and Sierra Fernley. The Novice Ice Rockets fell 10-1

to Salmon Arm Saturday afternoon at Priest Valley Arena. The Rocket’s lone goal was scored early by Hillary Quiring, assisted by Sasha Austin and Kylie Sheldrake. In an exciting Bunnies match-up Sunday at PV, the Purple Flames shaded Westside #1 7-6. Vernon got a hat trick from Ava Dawn Koskimaki, and other offence from Sydney Lewis (2+1), Teagan Scober and Emily Gilman. Taylor Hewitt and Lauren Cooke each pocketed a pair as the Speedy Sweeties outgunned the Westside Thunder Bunnies 5-1. Taylor Stewart had the Sweeties’ other snipe.

Bridge by Phillip Alder SHOULD YOU TURN THIS WAY OR THAT? George Eliot said, “Keep true, never be ashamed of doing right; decide on what you think is right and stick to it.” (By the way, what was George Eliot’s real name?) That is an excellent attitude to adopt in almost everything, including bridge. In today’s deal, South is in three no-trump. West leads his fourth-highest diamond, and East puts up the 10. What is the right line of play for declarer? The auction is a straightforward Stayman sequence, with South’s twospade rebid denying four hearts. South starts with eight top tricks: one spade, two

hearts, one diamond (given the first trick) and four clubs. For the ninth winner, it looks so natural to take the spade finesse. But when it loses (as it is bound to do in a bridge lesson or newspaper column), East returns a diamond and the defenders take five tricks: one spade and four diamonds. South has to establish a ninth trick without letting East on lead. So declarer must play on hearts. He leads a club to the dummy, then runs the heart jack through East. Here, the finesse wins and South has his ninth winner. But even if the finesse had lost, West could not lead another diamond without conceding an extra trick to South. Always think about the

danger hand -- the opponent you do not want on lead. George Eliot’s real name was Mary Anne Evans. She used a male pen name because she believed she would be treated more seriously. In the 19th century, women authors were (incorrectly) thought only to write lighthearted romances.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Find a way to help your community. The people you meet and the things you talk about will give you something to consider. Don’t take action, but do reconsider your next move. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Emotional mishaps will result if you overreact or let someone push you around. Step back and remove yourself from any situation that appears to be unstable. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Make an effort when it comes to your personal life as well as your appearance. Social plans should be made. Reuniting with old friends will lead to new beginnings. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Don’t share secret information. A partnership will change your life.

1950-2013

(Nee: Okun)

July 26, 1944 – December 08, 2013 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Nadia Hebert on December 08, 2013, aŌer a 2Ъ year courageous baƩle with cancer. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 47 years, Claude, her three daughters, Carol (Keith Kirkland), Michelle (Jeī Purkiss) and Jackie (Marc Tomlinson). She was an acƟve and hands on grandma and will be dearly missed by her eight grandchildren: Megan, Kelsey, MaƩhew, JusƟn, Michael, Elizabeth, JusƟn and Catelyn. She is survived by her three sisters, Anne uk, Iris (Jim) Bailey, Sandy (EvereƩ) RowleƩ, and two brothers, Mike (Mary) Okun and John (Jean) Okun. She is predeceased by her parents, Nicholas (1973) and Anastasia (1983) and two brothers Bill (Pauline) Okun and Morris (Adele) Okun (2013). Born on a farm near Ethelbert, Manitoba, Nadia graduated from Ethelbert High School in 1962. An excellent student, she received a scholarship to aƩend Manitoba Teacher’s College and then got her Įrst teaching posiƟon in Selkirk, Manitoba in 1963. In 1965, she met the love of her life, Claude, and they married on May 20, 1967. They lived in Winnipeg, where their three daughters were born, unƟl 1977 when Claude was transferred to 'rande Prairie, Alberta. She received her Bachelor of EducaƟon degree at 'rande Prairie Regional College and returned to teaching elementary school in 1980. Nadia was an amazing woman who always put the needs of others Įrst and she was well-loved by the hundreds of students she taught in her 20 year career. Since her reƟrement in Vernon she enjoyed many hobbies including gardening, curling, and travelling. She was a member of the CWL, and oŌen made trips to their vacaƟon home in Mesa. She will be missed by the strong network of friends she had here in Vernon who supported her during her baƩle with cancer. She will be remembered for her love and support of family, and for her faith in 'od. Her moƩo throughout her illness was to live life fully, ͞one day at a Ɵme͟. Prayers - Friday, December 13 at 7 pm. Funeral Mass ʹ Saturday, December 14 at 11 am. Both at St. James Catholic Church, Vernon. In lieu of Ňowers, a donaƟon in Nadia’s name may be made to Okanagan Hospice House: www. hospicecoha.org

Foster, Nancy Jeanne November 28, 1949December 5, 2013

It is with love and much sadness we announce the passing of our mother, Nancy Foster at the age of 64 on December 5, 2013 in her home in Teacapan Mexico. She leaves to mourn her partner of 27 years, Dave IloƩ, and her two daughters. Angela Ackerley [Ian] of Kelowna and Mandy Smith [Tom] of Vernon. She leaves behind four much loved grandchildren, Fallon Smith, Adam Reiger, Michael and Madelyn Smith. She also leaves to mourn 3 brothers, John Foster [Mary Anne], Dave Foster [Linda], and her twin Mick Foster [Pamela] and one sister, Mary LeLoute [ChrisƟan] all of Cheshire England. Enough graƟtude cannot be expressed to all the friends and family that have helped us through this diĸcult Ɵme. I especially cannot thank enough Jim IloƩ and Kent IloƩ for all their kindness and help through this Ɵme and events leading to our mother’s passing. A private family ceremony will take place at a later date

Jaapje (Jopie) Ladan Jaapje (Jopie) Ladan of Vernon, BC died peacefully in her sleep at the age of 82 years on November 14th at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital. She was born October 14, 1931 in RoƩerdam, the Netherlands. Jopie was a wilful character and much loved by her extended family and everyone she met along the way. She and her husband immigrated from The Netherlands to Montreal, Canada in 1957 with not much more than their determinaƟon, a strong work ethic and their four children. Shortly aŌer immigraƟng, they had another son. She was a devoted homemaker during her early years in Canada and later, aŌer the children had leŌ the nest, a commiƩed 'overnment employee. In reƟrement she was the Ɵreless hostess at the family coƩage at Lac Simon in Quebec, entertaining friends and family on countless memorable weekends and holidays. As her age advanced she and her husband Willem relocated to the Okanagan to take advantage of the milder weather and the proximity of family. Jopie created an enriched life for her family and was appreciated by all who met her. Jopie is survived by her husband Willem, sister Carla Scheuerman, brothers Dik and Max Lageveen of The Netherlands, daughter Astrid Norquay (Doug, deceased) of Arundel Quebec, son Rob Ladan (Lorraine) of Vernon, daughter Ingrid Ladan (Tom) of Toronto, Ontario, daughter Esther Ladan of Sydney, Australia and son Eric Ladan of Surrey. She is also survived by her seven grandchildren; Alana, Pamela (Tim) and Jesse of Montreal, Quebec, Lorena (Andrew) of Vernon, Natalie of Toronto, Ontario, Dylan (Kayla) of Port Coquitlam and Jessica of Surrey as well as her 3 great grand children; Ella, Ally and Kate of Vernon. Jopie was cremated on November 18th in Armstrong BC and this summer, a family celebraƟon of her life will be held at Lac Simon where she spent so many happy years. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s on-line obituary @ www. MyAlternaƟves.ca .
