Guilty pleas in luring case ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Asked if he had anything to say to the court, David Clayton Willerth rose slowly out of the prisoner dock. Willerth, who pleaded guilty Tuesday morning in Vernon Supreme Court to 18 out of 25 counts ranging from possession of child pornography to communicating via computer to lure a child under the age of 16, glanced over to the gallery where his wife, mom and sisters were sitting. The man with the shaved head and full beard, wearing red prison garb and white running shoes, then looked at justice Peter Voith and apologized. “I’m sorry to everyone I hurt,” said Willerth, 40. “I want help. I do. I don’t want to re-offend. I never want to come back here (court) again.” Willerth will find out his fate from Voith Friday at 9 a.m. after Crown and defence presented their final submissions Tuesday. Crown lawyer Shirley Meldrum is seeking a prison sentence of six-to-seven years, while defence lawyer David Johnson said he’ll ask for a three-year term in a federal penitentiary so Willerth can get counselling, along with time already served.

Crown stayed seven charges against Willerth. Court heard how the Vernon man posed as a modeling agent under a fake name on a social network site in May 2013 and offered young girls contracts and money if they would send him nude photos. In total, Willerth was linked to 16 girls between the ages of 12 and 15. “The offences were planned and predatory,” said Meldrum. “He developed an account on the social network site to contact girls, then he would search their friends. He used one girl to recruit other girls.” Meldrum said Willerth attempted to meet a number of the victims but “he didn’t meet any of the girls.” Willerth’s previous criminal record was entered as an exhibit which included charges of criminal harassment against 16- and 17-year-old girls over a 15-month period by using the Internet. “The offences are different but the circumstances are the same,” said Meldrum, adding Willerth was on probation for those offences when he committed the offences he pleaded guilty to on Tuesday. Meldrum said Willerth’s intent was to see how far girls would go to be a model, and to meet girls

to have sex. A risk assessment on Willerth said his behaviour was “calculated and premeditated,” and labelled him a “moderate-to-high risk for sexual violence.” Johnson, like Meldrum, said one of the factors the court must consider is Willerth entered guilty pleas. “He did so rather than go to trial which could have been onerous,” said Johnson. “Instead of having the girls endure a trial, he admitted to a number of counts.” Johnson said while his client did receive nude photos, he did not distribute them, nor did he extort anything using the photos as leverage. He deleted the photos, said Johnson, who feels his client is a good candidate for rehabilitation. “He knows what he did is wrong and that bodes well,” said Johnson. “He admitted tricking young girls because young girls are easy to trick. He wants counselling.” Willerth has been in custody since July 18, 2013. Crown is also seeking a DNA sample, a 10-year firearms prohibition, and wants Willerth added to the sexual offender registry.

Local residents have a chance to appear in a movie. Extras are being sought for Go With Me, which will be shot in Enderby and Lumby and stars Sir Anthony Hopkins. “Pictures, height and weight, contact information and age can be sent to enderbyextras2014@gmail.com,” said Kit Hayward, with casting. Go With Me will start production Nov. 12 and besides Hopkins, it also stars Ray Liotta and Julia Stiles. It is being produced by Rick Dugdale, an Enderby native who is now one of the principals in the production company Enderby Entertainment, a Los Angeles based independent film, television and digital media company. “We are very pleased to have Rick, who has brought production to the area previously, return to the Okanagan to shoot this film and to bring such a prestigious director and talent to our region. We are finding that once a production company has worked here they like to come back as our locations, amenities and crews have so much to offer,” said Jon Summerland, with the Okanagan Film Commission. “This film has a healthy budget and will provide our local crews with a lot of work. We have already talked to crew from Vernon, Kelowna and Summerland. Contrary, to what people have heard, they’re in fact thrilled with the fact that they have hired almost 50 per cent of their crew local. This really bodes well for the region and future projects.”

others.” The firearms were kept in a safe in a shed attached to the residence. “The owner did all of the right things. They were locked in a safe,” said Molendyk, adding that the handguns were registered. “The safe would have required several people to move it.” Investigators aren’t sure if the home was targeted specifically because of the firearms. “We’re looking into all aspects of it,” said Molendyk. The break-and-enter could have happened at about 4 a.m. Sunday as a loud bang was heard at that time.

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

A major theft of firearms has Vernon RCMP looking for suspects. On Sunday at 3:45 p.m., the police received a report of 22 firearms — 17 rifles and five handguns — being stolen from a residence in the 9500 of Highway 97. “It’s a concern that all of the guns are in who knows whose hands,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson, adding that stolen weapons are popular among criminals. “There is a black market for guns. Some firearms, because of power, are more dangerous than

Slide fears persist over Cherryville logging road RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Cherryville residents are considering their options to block a contentious logging road. Community representatives have been told by B.C. Timber Sales, a provincial agency, that construction of a logging road will proceed on Cherry Ridge despite residents’ concerns about potential slides. “The community is rallying,” said Eugene Foisy, electoral area director, adding that beyond a meeting with the Okanagan Nation Alliance, he’s not sure what steps residents may take to stop the road. Last month, residents prevented the road contractor from entering the area. Foisy had hoped BCTS would hold off on construction so the

community could proceed with a study looking at soil and hydrological conditions. “They may be right and maybe there is no issue but the community is concerned and it has data BCTS doesn’t have such as snowpack,” he said. “It would be a waste of money if they Eugene Foisy put a $450,000 road in and the study says the road shouldn’t be there. What are they afraid of?” Foisy says there have been previous slides right down to Cherry Creek. “There’s a real concern. We’re not just trying to hug trees,” he

said. “A lot of these people in the community are loggers and they are concerned.” Foisy is also upset that BCTS will not conduct a public meeting. “I think it was pretty small of them,” he said. Hank Cameron, who will soon take over as director from a retiring Foisy, is frustrated with BCTS’ response. “We warned BCTS of the unstable soils and landslide history in the North Fork and Currie Creek drainages but they intend to proceed anyway, without soil tests or local input,” he said. Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, has been part of the discussions between Cherryville residents and BCTS. “The forest service has done its

due diligence. Professionals have done slide assessments and hydrology reports,” said Foster, adding that the community can still proceed with a study. “If they come up with science that discounts the science that is there now, it will be considered.” BCTS officials aren’t sure when road construction could begin. “It’s in the hands of our contractor,” said Colin Johnston, woodlands supervisor. Johnston says there is no need to hold off on the project so a community study can be done. “If we felt there was an error in our assessment, we would look at this. But our assessment was done by an independent professional,” he said. “We can only follow the guidance of our professional.”

Finishing Touches

Winner for October of our Anniversary Date Night contest with her submission “Vernon-ites” Hotel A LIFETIME OF MEMORIES. Born and raised in Vernon my earliest memories of The Vernon Lodge were of the stately historical building that used to grace that site - beautiful! In the new Vernon Lodge I remember feeling grown up with magical evenings in the courtyard listening to Pia and Audrey and other artists amongst the tropical setting, in the Disco dancing the night away, attending weddings in the ballrooms, sharing a few jugs with my ball team after games, a few more with my workmates after work. I first saw KD Lang in that very ballroom and was wowed by that performance. I’ve attended benefit dinners, dropped in on visiting friends and relatives to share the pool and hot tub experience with them. I’ve won silent auction bids for a nights stay even though we lived right across the street and loved every minute of our stay-vacations in that hotel. I greeted old friends at my 10 year high school reunion in the ballroom. Christmas dinner has become a bit of a tradition for us - amongst the twinkly lights :) The highlight - my husband Reg and I married on May 5, 2001 in that very magical courtyard. We were told that no one had requested that before but as we love the outdoors but wanted to guarantee the weather - the obvious choice (to us) was the courtyard and the staff went out of their way to make our wedding perfect. Friends reserved a room for the evening prior to on the ground level, Reg and I had only to walk across the street from our home to go and prepare for our moment. I walked down the aisle escorted by my two brothers to meet my husband below and say our vows- it was beautiful. We laughed afterwards because the only hitch in the whole event was the pool was not emptied for the time of the ceremony, which neither Reg or I noticed but our guests had to strain to hear the ceremony over the splashing sounds from the pool. We were married, served a spectacular champaign buffet breakfast and were on our way to Mexico that very afternoon. I’ll never forget it and I’m so glad for the opportunity to sing the praises of this hotel.

Public helps locate alleged assault suspect Morning Star Staff

Citizens are being praised for helping apprehend an alleged assault suspect. On Oct. 28, an

Direct to Smelter – Precious Metals Roadshow coming to Vernon Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin will be in Vernon Thursday, November 6, Friday, November 7 and Saturday, November 8 during a roadshow making its way through the Okanagan. You can bring your gold, silver, coins and Canadian paper money to the Schubert Centre in Vernon between 10 am and 6 pm each day. No appointment is required. Barry Dick is a precious metals buyer and President of Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin.

RCMP officer was approached by a pedestrian at 30th Avenue and 37th Street who said he had been assaulted by a man across the street.

“Our officer went to speak to the suspect who ran away,” said Gord Molendyk, Vernon RCMP spokesperson, adding that the

assault involved bear spray. Two days later, on Oct. 30 at about 4:40 p.m., the police officer observed the suspect

walking in the area of 32nd Street and 32nd Avenue. “The suspect was told to stop. Again the suspect ran and he was

y l n

relocated near 29th Avenue and 31st Street,” said Molendyk. “He (officer) advised the suspect he was under arrest, again the suspect took off.” Various members of the public realized the police were looking for this suspect and directed officers to his location. “With the help of these good citizens, our officers were able to arrest the 21-year-

old suspect at 3204 30th Ave.,” said Molendyk. “When our officers arrested him, he was in possession of a can of bear spray in his hand.” The suspect was arrested for assault with a weapon, resisting arrest and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. Zack Bradley has been remanded in custody, with his next court appearance set for Nov. 12 by video.

BLACK PRESS FILE PHOTO

RCMP officers pulled over a vehicle doing 150 kilometres an hour on Highway 97A in Spallumcheen.

“Ursa Major has the unique advantage of dealing direct with a smelter” said Dick. “That allows us to cut out one or even two middlemen. Ursa Major purchases gold and silver from other gold buyers, pawn shops, jewellers and jewellery makers as well as from the general public.” Recent price increases of precious metals have created lots of “gold buyers” including mail in companies. Many of those buyers offer pennies on the dollar to unsuspecting customers and are limited to what they buy, choosing to ignore silver and coins and only purchase gold.

Dick took out his first gold claim when he turned 16 in the 1970’s and has been involved with precious metals ever since. An ardent gold panner, he was a regular at the world championship gold panning competition with a personal best of 3rd place in 1984. Now he concentrates on building the wholesale business while taking the roadshow out one or two times a month across Western Canada.

“People bring in all kinds of interesting items, but for the most part it is a broken or old chain, unloved jewelry, a single earring, and out of fashion items like charm bracelets. We also accept dental gold but it should be clean. Another valuable item is coin with silver content. Dimes, Quarters, Half Dollars and Dollars from Canada and America can be sorted and the silver content determined in no

Ursa Major has extensive experience working with estate sales, executors, widows and widowers in a respectful and caring manner. No appointment necessary.

A motorist caught the attention of RCMP officers Sunday. At about 11:25 a.m. in Spallumcheen, an officer stopped a Kia car that was southbound on Highway 97A by Otter Lake Cross Road. “It was doing 150 kilometres in the posted 100-kilometre zone,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. The woman in her 50s was given an excessive speeding ticket and her vehicle was impounded for seven days. “The officer learned that this is the driver’s third excessive speeding ticket in five years,” said Molendyk. “With the changes to the excessive speed laws, it is the first time her vehicle was impounded. The first two times were when just fines were issued. She might be receiving a letter from ICBC about her driving practices.” Impaired but no license A motorist came under police scrutiny. On Saturday at about 10:05 p.m., officers were called to an accident in the 4600 block of Old Kamloops Road. “The driver, the lone occupant of the vehicle, was in the southbound ditch when the police arrived,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “Their investigation learned that the 50-yearold woman was an unlicensed driver and she was under the influence of drugs.” The driver was served a prohibition notice under the Motor Vehicle Act and a 24-hour suspension for impairment.

Water rates bylaw proceeds in Enderby RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Officials hope the ongoing conflict over water rates has eased in Enderby. Council gave three readings to the metered water rates bylaw Monday. “We’ve come to something that’s really fair for everyone,” said Coun. Greg McCune. The bylaw will set the flat rate for a single-family home at $234, with a consumption charge of $1.30 per cubic metre. The city had previously planned to rely just on metered rates but that created a furor among some residents who received mock bills that simulated how much water a customer uses. Some residents complained that the mock bills were too high.

“It’s the best fit for everyone,” said Mayor Howie Cyr of the bylaw. “The city receives revenue and it provides an incentive to conserve water.” If, at the end of the year, the consumption charge ends up providing a surplus, the city will provide a rebate on the flat rate in the following year. While public concerns about the mock bills consumed a lot of council and staff time recently, Cyr says the feedback from residents was worthwhile. “There has been a good discussion by everyone,” he said. McCune insists the city needs an action plan for one-off situations where residents face water consumption challenges. “We need to help people with faulty meters or a leak they can’t find,” he said.

On the record

reater Vernon residents are being asked to borrow $70 million on the master water plan, but confidence has been undermined since many of the elected officials who spearheaded the process are voting no. And it’s fair to question how a complex document can be developed and the legal requirements for a borrowing referendum can proceed when the decision-makers aren’t on board. Not wanting to speculate on motives, I asked those individuals who helped nudge the process along and are seeking re-election why they will not mark an X for borrowing. “I believe in the plan. We had experts work on the plan for two years and I endorsed it. It’s all Richard Rolke to comply with health and safety standards,” said Catherine Lord, a Regional District of North Okanagan director and Vernon councillor. However, Lord says a no vote is needed to bring senior government on board. “We just think it’s too expensive,” she said of the burden on local taxpayers alone. “Whether it (strategy) will work or not, I don’t know. If the province and the feds came to the table with money, the plan would be palatable.” Bob Spiers, a Greater Vernon Advisory Committee director and Vernon councillor, says his agreeing to the borrowing bylaw doesn’t translate into a personal endorsement. “This was to ensure that those with a dog in the fight or skin in the game would make the decision rather than the counter petition alternative,” he said of a complicated procedure where 10 per cent of voters must sign a petition to stop borrowing instead of a more clearly understood referendum. “Prior to that, I voted against the referendum and in support of a peer review.” Doug Dirk, an RDNO director and Coldstream councillor, says the Interior Health Authority ordered the creation of a

BEYOND THE HEADLINES

master water plan or fines could be levied. “It is not the cheapest plan or the best use of water plan but a forced compromise,” said Dirk. “The reason I am not in support of the borrowing referendum is that I have not seen a justified risk management analysis to support the requirements imposed by IHA.” Juliette Cunningham, GVAC chairperson and Vernon councillor, says there was a thorough review of options for the water utility. “Of the 19 options, this one had more flexibility and is the least costly,” she said. Like Lord, Cunningham says a no vote may send a message to the provincial government that its standards are “too rich.” “I hope there can be a conversation on standards.” Mary-Jo O’Keefe, a NORD director and Vernon councillor who is running for city mayor, was reported by the media, including myself, as opposing the referendum. She says she was misquoted. “I am personally supporting the master water plan because the standards are national and have been accepted provincially. These standards are not going to change and the longer we delay in starting the upgrade the more expensive the cost to our citizens will be,” she said. “In speaking to staff, there is a possibility of the federal government announcing infrastructure grants and the only project that will be eligible will need to be shovel-ready. So if the decision is to continue to spend on additional peer reviews, we will not be ready to access these grants.” Other master water plan architects, such as acclaimed BX-Silver Star director Mike Macnabb, are urging residents to vote for borrowing, while others, like Coldstream’s Gyula Kiss, have been consistently opposed. Added to the mix are newcomers vying for seats in Vernon and Coldstream who are largely lining up against the plan. With so many mixed opinions before voters, and particularly from those who shepherded the process along from its infancy, the outcome of the Nov. 15 referendum is anything but certain.

B.C. Timber Sales could certainly use some advice when it comes to avoiding conflict. There’s no question the provincial agency has the right to proceed with construction of a logging road on Cherry Ridge near Cherryville. After all, its mandate is to capitalize on our natural resources for the financial benefit of all British Columbians. However, there is increasingly the perception that BCTS is pushing ahead despite the concerns of most Cherryville residents that the road and eventual logging could trigger slides and pose a threat in the valley bottom. Much of this concern is based on local knowledge of the land, particularly from veteran loggers. Not surprisingly, BCTS insists soil and hydrological assessments show there is no problem. And that very well could be the case. But the reality is there’s a perception issue among Cherryville residents that the project contains risk. Unless some middle ground can be found, the conflict could escalate, whether it’s residents physically blocking road construction crews or court action being initiated. Either way, BCTS could experience a PR nightmare and costly delays if residents proceed with protests. With winter weather soon arriving in the Monashees, time is running out for road construction this year. Because of that, BCTS should hold off on any work so the community can conduct its slope assessment. The findings may eventually endorse BCTS’ own review and generate a level of comfort among residents about the road and logging. Improved public communications are also needed. Yes a contract has been issued for the road work, but that could be completely irrelevant given the turmoil revolving around Cherry Ridge.

Water bill from bad to worse

hen my wife and I first considered moving to Vernon, we thought we did our homework on property taxes and fees. We moved here from another Okanagan location, had a more expensive home but our property taxes, including water, sewer, garbage, recycling (all these utility fees were included in our annual property tax bill), were still less than Vernon, nonetheless we decided we could live with the increase. We were completely blindsided when we received our first Vernon utility bill in the mail. These obscene utility rates have got to be Vernon’s best kept secret. Not a word mentioned by real estate agents or anyone else when we were enquiring about property tax rates and fees. But since then, things have gone from bad to worse. We received this quarter's water and sewer bill for a whopping $440. We live on small lot in a gated community where all of the irrigation systems come on for the same amount of time each week. We have dualflush, water-saver toilets. There are only two of us and we are away a great deal of the time. We don’t just let water run down the drain

THANK YOU Our fourth Apwoyo Gulu Uganda fundraiser was held recently. The event was sold out and was an overwhelming success. We have raised $17,000 towards the Canadian Network for International Surgery thanks to the generosity of 38 sponsors, and the donation of more than 100 auction items from individuals and businesses. A special thanks to the Jabulani African Drummers for the evening’s amazing entertainment. Thank you to Jack Gareb, chef John Fournier and all of the wonderful staff at the Schubert Centre for the memorable Taste of Africa dinner and their efficient service. Thank you to Katherine Mortimer, of The Morning Star, for the wonderful publicity regarding our event. Dr. Ghee Hwang and fundraising committee DOUBLE STANDARD So when is the law the law? Well, I guess if you are some members of Vernon city council, a law is only a law unless it affects them. When that happens, it appears that those members of council think simply telling city administration to ignore the law is OK. Why? Well, because it affects their ability to get reelected.

when we are washing fruit and vegetables, but instead run it into a bucket in the sink and then either use the water to water shrubs and bushes or flush the toilet. We only take short showers, don’t have a hot tub and, as well, shut our irrigation off on rainy days and have a water-saver washing machine. Furthermore we take our vehicles to the car wash instead of washing them at home. I compared our utility bill with our neighbours to find that our bill was $200 higher and they often have their grandchildren staying with them. And they thought their bill

was high. We did notice that our bill contained an extra charge for $72.30 for residential sewer low flat rate, which did not show on any of our neighbours’ bills. We went to city hall to enquire why our rates would be so high and for an explanation for the extra $72.30 charge. It was explained to us that when they determine the sewer rates in the first quarter, if the water usage isn’t high enough they tack on an extra $72.30 per quarter for low consumption. Yes, that is for low consumption. So while our neighbors are only paying

The excuses noted in the Oct. 14 Morning Star were laughable if they weren't so pathetic. "It's like Christmas for the bylaw guys," says one. Well, it wouldn't be if you didn't put your signs up where the rest of us can't. "How much extra money will we spend on policing this?" says another. Well councillor, that depends on council now, doesn't it? If you tell bylaw enforcement not to enforce the bylaws, then we can just lay them all off and save a bunch, right? The best one of all, though, was "During the last election, signs were up everywhere." So we have an admission from a councillor who thinks breaking the law in the past is justification for continuing to do that in the future. So a question for all of those on current council and for all of those hoping to unseat them. Isn't one of the primary functions of council to pass bylaws for the good governance and safekeeping of our community? If so, then why the double standard where those who run for public office can break bylaws but the rest of us can't? Imagine the next time I get a parking ticket and me going to the front counter of city hall with my ticket and asking them to just take it back because I don't feel like paying it. The very friendly folks at the front counter

would just laugh at me and I wouldn't blame them. Seriously, though, one of the most significant issues we have in Canadian politics these days is that people are becoming disengaged with the political process. This is because people who end up in political office often lose sight of why they are there. They are there for public service, not for ego, headlines and special privileges. People are losing faith in the integrity of our political system because of this. So, I remind all of those running in the upcoming election, integrity is measured by how you actually behave, not by how you want people to believe you behave. That means no matter how innocuous you think it is, breaking any law, no matter how big or small, means your integrity comes into question. When you are privileged to sit around the council table, you simply can't vote away your requirement to uphold the very laws you put into place. This city has already been tarnished by the behaviour of a former member of council who chose to do things his own way. We don't need people who think they are special doing this job. We need those on council who actually represent us. If our current councillors don't get that,

$50.20 per quarter for base sewer rates, we are paying the $50.20 base rate plus an additional $72.30 for low consumption. In addition our bill comparison shows that somehow my wife and I managed to use 65 cubic metres more water than our neighbours. City hall gave us some tablets for our toilets to test for leaks — there are no leaks. They suggested we not run any water and check our water meter to see if the little red tab is still rotating. It isn’t. Now they are asking Vernon area residents to approve a $70 million water upgrade, which by the way is only the beginning. We will be saying so long Vernon. We are not about to stay living here just to be gouged. And really, who in their right mind would move to Vernon with the rates already so high and only to get worse? I suppose the uniformed like us. We now know of several younger retirees with higher than average incomes and high percentages of disposal incomes, which should be an asset to any community, who have already left or are planning to leave. I expect we will be joining the exodus. M.C.R. Krien maybe we need to take the privilege of serving us away from them and vote in some who do. Robin Bristow

A transit driver was sent to hospital after a downtown Vernon collision. On Oct. 31 at 1:30 p.m., police officers received a report of an accident between a bus and a Ford Focus at 34th Street and Coldstream Avenue. “It was raining at the time and that may or may not have contributed,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. No passengers on the transit bus were hurt but the driver was taken to hospital to be checked out.

The 40-year-old driver of the car was issued a ticket for following too close. No tricks The ghosts and goblins behaved on Halloween. RCMP report no major incidents during the annual festivities Oct. 31. ““Halloween was very quiet for us,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “The morning shift (Saturday) has nothing Halloween-related.”

Molendyk isn’t sure if rain may have doused some potential problems. “Over the last couple of years, Halloween has been calmer and there has been not as much vandalism and rowdyism.” Seatbelts ignored Some Armstrong residents aren’t getting the message about seatbelts. During a three-hour period Saturday, RCMP officers issued 20 seatbelt violations on Smith

Drive, including six for commercial vehicles. “That’s very high in three hours,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson, adding that some residents may not believe the devices are necessary for short distances. “The majority of accidents happen within five kilometres of your residence.” Officers also issued two tinted window tickets and five warnings for various defects. Hunter pulled over A vehicle check on a rural Lumby road kept law enforcement officials busy. On Oct. 29 at about 6:30 p.m., a 64-yearold man was stopped by RCMP and conservation officers on the

Harris Forest Service Road. “When they dealt with him, they noticed a strong odor of liquor on his breath,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “On a closer look, open liquor was found in the vehicle. The man admitted to consuming liquor 20 minutes before the stop.” The hunter failed two roadside samples. He was issued a 90-day immediate roadside prohibition and a violation ticket for possessing open liquor in a motor vehicle. He also received violation tickets from the conservation officers for having a loaded firearm in the vehicle. That carries a $230 fine.

Witnesses still sought in fatal MVA Morning Star Staff

“They have not called in,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. The men walked away from the scene before speaking to officers about what they may have witnessed. The men are asked to call 250-545-7171. No charges have been laid in the incident. “Crown is asking for more details before they lay a charge,” said Molendyk. “We will leave no stone unturned in this investigation.”

Quintet brings sweet and fizzy sounds to town Mimosa plays its effervescent music at the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday AmAndA morAzAin For The Morning Star

The Vernon Jazz Club audience will feel like its basking on a warm summer patio when Mimosa takes the stage Saturday night. The band will play tunes from the great American songbook, including What Is This Thing Called Love (Cole Porter), Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen (Jacob Jacobs), and La Vie En Rose (Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer) as well as Drown in My Own Tears (Ray Charles cover of Henri Glover). The quintet will also be showcasing songs written by all three women of the band, Anna Lumière (piano), Rebecca Shoichet (lead vocals), and Karen Graves (sax and flute). They are joined by Adam Thomas on bass and drummer Bernie Arai. How do you explain a sound as unique as Mimosa’s? The Georgia Straight has written, “Mimosa plays a fast-paced synthesis of Eastern European Gypsy music, klezmer, swing, pop, and vintage cabaret styles that’s sung both in French and English.” Lumière explains it even further. “If Cleo Lane, Jobim and Serge Gainsbourg all got together one night and jammed, they might sound like what Mimosa has to offer.” Lumière, who founded the band in the late ‘90s alongside Lily Frost,

Vancouver quintet mimosa (Adam Thomas, left, rebecca Shoichet, Anna Lumière, Bernie Arai and Karen Graves) is back to perform original and bilingual music, as well as some favourites at the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday. was surrounded by music at home. “Love for music was cultivated in my family. My mother is a violinist and we always played chamber music together. My brother was a boogie woogie piano player. Discovering jazz when coming to Canada from Switzerland at 17 was somewhat of a revelation, as I was particularly drawn to the freedom and spontaneity of improvisation.” Lumière writes most of the music for the band with lyrics in French, Spanish, and English. Many of her compositions have been showcased

on CBC and in film. When asked what inspires her to write, she replies, “Writing can come from an emotional outpour: The original Love is Fickle is a lovers’ fight, or from a more planned crafted mindset, Show You Care, or even a rhythmic groove, El Amor. Every song is born in a different way and there is no right way. It’s all just an attempt to catch and hold the magic.” Being able to hold that magic is part of the reason Mimosa has been so busy. The band has released three

critically acclaimed albums and were chosen as the subject of a CBC documentary. They were also one of four western Canadian bands featured on television, radio, and the web in the popular Le mai de la chanson d’ici on Radio-Canada. Lead vocalist Shoichet co-starred in Joni Mitchell: River and La Cage Aux Folles, which were put on by the Vancouver Playhouse. She has toured with Amanda Marshall, Tom Cochrane, Johnny Ferriera and the Swing Machine

and has also done extensive work in voice overs and can be heard in children’s cartoons and anime. Graves has studied with renowned Russian voice instructor Nikolai Kolesnikov and with saxophonists Pete Cristlieb and Pat Labarbera. While under the direction of Hugh Fraser in the Banff Jazz Orchestra, Graves performed in concert with Slide Hampton, Maynard Ferguson, Muhal Richard Abrahms, and Kenny Wheeler. Thomas was recently at the Vernon Jazz Club playing bass with drummer Morgan Childs. He performs with many musicians including Mike Allen, Laila Biali, Trombone Mayhem, and Kate Hammett-Vaughn. Arai has toured throughout Canada as well as Europe, the U.S., and Japan, working with great musicians such as Brad Turner, Jennifer Scott, and Sharon Minemoto. He has taught music at the Vancouver Community College, Capilano University and the Vancouver Creative Music Institute and has directed jazz bands at UBC, Douglas College, and North Shore Summer Jazz Intensives. Arai has also been a guest host on CBC’s long running jazz show Hot Air twice; once to spotlight the powerful musicianship of Claude Ranger and the other to explore the influence of Canadian jazz on Canadian jazz musicians. Mimosa takes the stage at the Vernon Jazz Club (3000-31st St.) Saturday at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:15 p.m. and tickets are $20 at the Bean Scene, Bean to Cup, and at www. vernonjazz.ca.

Farm life is honoured in artists’ Tractor Dreams at Gallery Vertigo Morning Star Staff

Prairie ex-pats missing the wheat fields of home can see and hear the next best thing at the joint exhibition Tractor Dreams, currently showing at Vernon’s Gallery Vertigo. The show features writing by Enderby artist Howard Brown and photography and graphic art by Vernon’s Harold Rhenisch. Both are studio artists at Vertigo. In the exhibition, Brown honours work, tractors, brotherhood, family, farming, and prairie life. His writing is presented in three ways: as concrete poetry, in a limited edition chapbook, and in a public reading.

“Howard Brown is one of the true people’s poets of Canada,” said Rhenisch, who is also a writer. “I’m thrilled to help showcase to Vernon this great poet who lives among us. This work has the down-to-earth warmth of Vernon’s Greg Simison and the wit of such great national poets as Robert Kroetsch and Al Purdy.” Rhenisch, in turn, is showing his photographs of tractors, which he took while visiting old fields throughout the Okanagan in winter and spring. A chapbook designed by Rhenisch is also available at the gallery.

Rhenisch will speak on the tradition of workers’ art in the Okanagan and on the art of using a gallery space as a book, Nov. 20 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Vertigo. He will be joined by Brown, who will read his poem, Reading Dennis Cooley’s Correction Line by the Light of a Kerosene Lamp Reminds Me of Tractors I Have Known. “We will celebrate tractors, dreams, Vernon’s proud traditions of work, and the down-to-earth humanity of prairie culture,” said Rhenisch. “And we’ll have some fun with the gallery space, too.”

SOMETHING GREAT

Choir performs from motets to Beatles Morning Star Staff

READ ALL ABOUT IT IN FRIDAY’S MORNING STAR

Members of the Chorealis Vocal Ensemble are travelling along Highway 97 to present their fall tour, Pathways of Love. The 11-member group shares its love of singing with the North Okanagan audience, Saturday at Vernon’s St. John’s Lutheran Church. Members all reside in the Okanagan, from Salmon Arm through to Kelowna, and have been enthusiastically singing together since 2008. “Chorealis performs a broad range of music, both sacred and secular. They especially love singing early music, from English madrigals to Latin motets, but are equally adept at more modern repertoire, be it classical composition or beloved Beatles’ tune,” said Chorealis member Gloria Brooks. Chorealis is a unique vocal group, in that they do not have a conductor. Instead, all singers contribute to create their fine, harmonious and unaccompanied sound, added Brooks. Saturday’s concert will see Chorealis present selections by Passerau, Holst, Stenhammar, Corelli, Lennon and McCartney, and Piazzolla.

The 2014 art season is coming to a close at Ashpa Naira Gallery, but not before the gallery opens its doors one more time for its annual weekend open house, exhibition and sale. Entitled Mysterious Circle, the showcase of contemporary artwork features jewelry, glass, leather, pottery, masks, textiles, candles and candle holders, ceramic murals and tiles as well as paintings and sculptures, all created by Okanagan and Canadian artists.

“This year, the artists roster has grown at Ashpa Naira Gallery,” said owner/ artist Carolina Sanchez de Bustamante. “Among them are Marlene McPherson, with her visually exciting monoprints using a paper that is made from stones; Winnipeg architectural artist and muralist Michel Saint Hilaire; our own Vernon artist Michelle Sorensen, with her sensitive and stunning sculptural glass, as well as the Austrian trained blacksmith Patrick McIvor from the

Kootenays.” In the working studio where Sanchez de Bustamante creates her original designed tile floors, fireplaces, murals and sculpture, a new line of modern architectural ceramics will be shown. Visitors can also enter Ashpa Naira’s tapestry studio and follow the stages involved in the making of a tapestry in a highwarp loom. “Visitors can also encounter the beauty and functionality of art in a home and garden envi-

ronment, filled with original art work from emerging and established artists and artisans, where they can learn, explore and appreciate art, and find that unique gift or add to their art collection,” said Sanchez de Bustamante The open house and exhibition takes place Nov. 15 and 16 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Ashpa Naira Gallery, located on the westside of Okanagan Lake. Admission is free. Call or visit www.ashpanairagallery. com for more information.

Photographer shows work in Armchair Tourist Continued from A13

Gallery Vertigo is also hosting studio artist Donna Mair on its featured members wall for the month of November. The installment, titled Armchair Tourist, highlights Mair’s love of photography, which she developed at a young age.

“I remember snapping photos of my yard, my brothers, the neighbours, with an old Brownie camera my mom gave me around the age of nine,” said Mair. “Trying to capture on film what I was seeing in my mind’s eye was a challenge then, and still

is, and I love that about photography.” Mair spent the bulk of her childhood experimenting with other art styles, including painting, sculpture, lithographs and such, but always came back to the instantaneous nature of photography.

“I love that photography is now. It’s right in front of you and you either capture it or you don’t,” she said. “Armchair Tourist captures that instant from the passenger seat of our pickup truck while travelling and was a challenge I loved experi-

menting with.” All exhibitions are now open until Nov. 29 at Gallery Vertigo, #1-300131st St. (upstairs). Hours are Tuesday to Saturday, from noon to 4 p.m. The public can also meet Mair as part of Gallery Vertigo’s gala reception, Nov. 20 at 7 p.m.

Arts One-man band sticks out

Submitted to The Morning Star

Montreal guitarist Steve Hill is heading west on his first oneman band Canadian tour. He makes a stop at Lorenzo’s Cafe in Ashton Creek Saturday. The tour is in support of his new release, Solo Recordings Volume 2. When it comes to one-man bands, Hill has no limits. Throughout his lengthy and intense shows, he performs standing up while singing and playing guitar, with his feet playing bass drum, snare drum, and hi-hats, and any other percussion within reach with a drum stick fused to the head of his trusty guitar. With his roots in blues, rock and a little bit of country, Hill performs his original songs, blues classics and quite often raucous renditions of Jimi Hendrix tunes. For the past 20 years, Hill has been touring and recording and has shared

the stage with many of his heroes such as Ray Charles, BB King, ZZ Top, Jimmie Vaughan, Hubert Sumlin, Jeff Beck and many others. Over the course of eight albums he’s explored everything from hardrock, country, and stoner rock to folk music, while always incorporating the essence of his first love, the blues. Hill’s reputation as an exciting performer has provided him the opportunity to showcase his talents at some of Canada’s biggest music festivals, including the Montreal Jazz Festival, Mont Tremblant International

Ken Smedley presents THE

Blues Festival, Thunder Bay Blues Festival, Kitchener Blues Festival and more. Hill is clearly at home on the stage, inviting audiences to catch a glimpse of musical madness in the form of blues and rock ‘n’ roll. “Montreal’s Steve Hill is hands-down the meanest guitar player in Canada,” said Richard Burnett, with The Montreal Gazette. Hill takes the stage at Lorenzo’s, 901 Mabel Lake Rd., eight kilometres east of Enderby, Saturday at 8 p.m. Cover is $15 and reservations can be made by calling 250-838-6700.

Tai chi and Mandarin lessons will be included, and students earn four credits for Global Action 11/12. Friday is the deadline to sign up for this opportunity: contact Egan at segan@sd22.bc.ca or Acob at cacob@sd22.bc.ca for more information.

Soup marks the occasion

he first week in November marks my debut column in The Morning Star, back in November of 1997. That day I offered soup recipes along with a bit of an essay on energy, and ever since, I have marked this week with the same. Soups are one of my favourite comfort foods and for the most part, are easy to prepare. It is the type of energy that we put into them that will make the difference in the degree of comfort Cathi Litzenberger they will transfer. Since energy is neither created nor destroyed, it has to go somewhere and believe it or not, it goes into anything you are working on. It’s imperative to remember to be conscious of your thoughts when preparing foods for those you love. Thoughts are things; they have energy that can be felt, so try to make them positive and loving. Even on those days when it’s all you can do to maybe just open a can, stir in loving thoughts toward those who will be consuming it, for if you do this, even a canned soup will become a blessing to those who consume it. Comforting Ground Beef and Barley Soup 1 lb. lean ground beef (use beef with less than 10% fat for South Beach Diet) 2 tsp. + 1 tsp. olive oil 1 large onion, chopped 2 tbsp. minced garlic (or less if you’re not that crazy about garlic)

kitchen wit & wisdom

6 cups homemade beef stock (or use 3 cans beef broth and a little water to make 6 cups) 4 cups vegetable stock (or 2 cans veg. broth and a little water to make 4 cups) 2 tsp. dried parsley 1/2 tsp. dried thyme 1 cup finely chopped celery 1 cup finely chopped carrots 1/2 cup pearl barley 1-2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar (add 1 tbsp., then taste to see if you want to use more) Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste Heat 2 tsp. olive oil in a large dutch-oven type pan; then sauté the ground beef until it’s cooked through and lightly browned. If desired, put the ground beef into a fine mesh strainer and rinse with VERY HOT water to remove the fat. (This is optional, but I think it improves the flavour and makes the soup lower in fat. If you don’t have a fine mesh strainer, you can skim off some fat when the soup is cooked.) Put ground beef back in the pan, push to one side, add 1 tsp. more olive oil (if needed) and then sauté the onions and garlic until they are starting to soften. Add the beef stock, vegetable stock, dried parsley and dried thyme and let soup cook at a low simmer for 30 minutes. While soup simmers, finely chop the carrots and onion. After 30 minutes, add chopped vegetables to the soup and simmer for about 30 minutes more. Then add the barley and simmer for an additional 30 minutes. (Before you add the barley you may want to skim off any fat that’s floated to the top, especially if you didn’t rinse the ground beef. You may also want to add a little more water at

this point.) When the barley is done but still slightly chewy, turn off heat, stir in the balsamic vinegar, season soup with salt and fresh ground black pepper, and serve hot. This soup freezes or reheats well, although the barley soaks up the liquid so you may want to add water when you re-heat it. It’s family-friendly, and uses ingredients you may often keep on hand, so you may want to make a double batch for winter meals. Hearty Vegetable Soup (vegetarian) 3/4 cup chopped celery 3/4 cup chopped onion 1 cup chopped carrots 1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes, drained 3 cups tomato-vegetable juice cocktail 2 cups water 1 leek, chopped 1 potato, peeled and cubed 1 (15 ounce) can peas, drained or 1 cup frozen peas 1 (15 oz.) can whole kernel corn, drained 2 (15 oz.) cans garbanzo beans, drained 1 cup long-grain white rice 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon dried dill weed In a large pot over high heat, combine the celery, onion, carrots, tomatoes, tomato-vegetable juice, water, leek, potato, peas, corn, beans, rice, soy sauce, thyme, ground black pepper, garlic powder and dill weed. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.

Patrolling the slopes since 1941 Morning Star Staff

With Sovereign Lake and Silver Star set to open this month, the Canadian Ski Patrol has been busy recruiting volunteers. The new recruits took part in a recent training session at Polson Park in preparation for the upcoming season. “The newest members of the team have been training in advanced first aid techniques since early September,” said Rob Despault, patrol leader for Sovereign Lake. Gavin Mcgregor, assistant patrol leader at Silver Star, said volunteers are recruited throughout the ski season. “We recruit people

or ride alongside us to various parts of the mountain.” Despault said in March, the recruits are invited to take part in

four days of on-snow toboggan training. “Come September, those newest recruits are ready and eager to focus on first aid,” he

said. “We get them outside and in the elements as soon as possible.” This season there will be nearly 40 patrol volunteers at Silver Star. The Canadian Ski Patrol (CSP) has provided first aid services to the skiing public for almost 75 years. A longstanding member of the Canadian snow sports industry, the ski patrol is made up of dedicated volunteers, committed to providing excellent first aid to winter sport participants. In 1941, a young Toronto osteopath named Dr. Douglas Firth was asked by the Canadian Amateur Ski Association to organize and train a first aid and rescue group to patrol the ski hills. He had

Knox Presbyterian Church welcomes moderator Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff

For the members of Knox Presbyterian Church in Vernon, having a visit from the moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Canada is a once-in-alifetime opportunity. For the Rev. Dr. Teresa Charlton, there is also a more personal significance, as the Rev. Dr. Stephen Farris is a former professor of hers at Knox College at the University of Toronto. “It’s been 40 years since a moderator has been in Vernon,” said Charlton, minister at Knox since 2012. “This is quite an honour and quite unexpected — to sit and have a cup of coffee and have the chance to discuss things of concern, it’s not the kind of things you say no to.”

The Rev. Dr. Stephen Farris is moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Canada. Farris was ordained by the Presbytery of Kingston, Ont. in 1981 and is now professor of homiletics at the Vancouver School of Theology. He will be in the North Okanagan and Shuswap this week, making stops in Kamloops, Salmon Arm and Vernon. “Each church will

have a public event and a church event,” said Charlton, who has also been charged with organizing a clergy retreat Thursday to Saturday in Kamloops. “It just happened to coincide with the timing of the moderator’s visit and as our retreat winds up, educational worship will take place, because you don’t always get the moderator face to face, so we’ll have an opportunity listen to Dr. Farris and his thoughts on leadership for the church in the coming generation.” Back in Vernon, Farris will be welcomed Saturday to a meet-andgreet at Knox, where the narthex is being transformed into an Italian bistro, where parishioners can chat with their guest of honour while

enjoying specialty coffees and goodies. “I figured that since the moderator is probably forced to drink ‘dishwater’ coffee wherever he goes, that we should offer something a little different.” On Saturday night, Farris will be keynote speaker at a dinner in Salmon Arm. And on Sunday he’ll return to Vernon for a combined worship service at Knox. “Salmon Arm and Armstrong are closing their doors for one Sunday and bringing their people here and we’ll bring together the musical talents of the three congregations.” Following the service at 10 a.m., a brunch will follow, and Farris will be presented with gifts, which Charlton said make use of the special

skills and talents of the congregants at Knox. “It’s a great way to get the congregants involved. I know the moderator gets so much of the same thing week after week touring the country, and we wanted to do something different.” Farris’ tour will wrap up on Monday with a good-bye brunch in Salmon Arm.

already spent a few seasons in the 1930s hauling injured skiers from the trails of the Toronto Ski Club, so, wherever there was skiing, he mobilized people to provide rescue service to injured skiers — thus forming the CSP. Today, CSP membership is 4,500 volunteers strong and offering services to more than 230 ski areas from coast to coast, including alpine and Nordic. Still adhering to the same root

mandate of excellence in “safety, injury prevention and service” that Firth instilled nearly 75 years ago, this nonprofit/charitable organization has continued to grow along with the Canadian snow-sliding industry.

Say cheese in Armstrong Morning Star Staff

Armstrong will be home to everything cheese as the city hosts its second annual cheese event Saturday at Centennial Hall. This year, the popular event will feature two opportunities for cheese lovers to enjoy the taste of artisan cheese produced in the North Okanagan as well as from other areas of B.C. Beginning at 10 a.m., cheese-makers, artisan food producers, small-batch wineries and art exhibitors will provide samples and information. Those attending will pick up a cheese pass which will allow one complimentary tasting from each exhibitor until 2 p.m. At 1 p.m., David Beaudoin will host a Cheese 101 seminar. Beaudoin has built a successful business with a product known as Squeaky Cheese as well as leading and operating one of the oldest cheese factories in B.C. Now working as a cheese expert and consultant with the Dairy Farmers of Canada, Beaudoin, known as the “cheese poet,” will surely educate and entertain with his great knowledge and profound passion for cheese. North Okanagan cheese producers Bella Stella, Terroir Cheese, The Village Cheese Co., Happy Days Dairies and Grass Root Dairies will be in the spotlight joined by other B.C. cheese producers – all proud supporters of ‘100% Canadian Milk’ products. Artisan food producers including Chocoliro Finest Chocolate, Rogers Foods, Sapori Oils & Vinegars, Okanagan Rawsome, Maw’s Orchard, Fresh Valley Farms, Crescendo, Rancho Vignola and White Lake Organics are participating – truly a taste of slow food. Think you are the ‘big cheese’? Don’t miss the cheese ball and grilled cheese competitions – amateur and professional categories. Winners will be crowned ‘the big cheese’

Tourism vision unveiled ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

It’s lengthy, took a year to compile and holds the future for Armstrong-Spallumcheen tourism. The chamber of commerce has received, and shared with Armstrong council, a 69-page tourism plan from the Community Tourism Foundation’s Destination B.C. “We’re really happy with it,” said ArmstrongSpallumcheen Chamber of Commerce executive director Patti Noonan of the extensive report. The original workshop with local stakeholders and representatives of the program was held Dec. 6, 2013. The workshop helped identify goals, strategies and actions as part of a region-wide, shortterm tourism development plan. “What the local visitor centre is asking council,

is for you to read over the plan, see if there’s anything you think that is a priority and let us know so we can tell the committee,” said Noonan, adding that the local committee hopes to meet at the beginning of December to look at the plan and figure out what steps to first pursue. Workshop participants indicated a desire to increase further tourism in the community, things like opportunities for embarking on new event development and integrating cycling as an enhanced visitor activity. Primary goals of the plan are to increase visitor numbers and spending, have more agri-tourism experiences and festival and event development. “Our communities are pretty well represented in this and they did pay attention to the people at that workshop and what was important to us,” said Noonan. “We’re looking forward to working on it.”

Contract renewed ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

B.C. Commissionaires will continue to look after dog control in Armstrong. Armstrong council unanimously agreed to a new three-year contract that will expire Dec. 31, 2017. The current contract expires at the end of 2014. “This is a renewal option in the contract,” said Terry Martens, chief financial officer. “At the end of three years, that will be it. Then we’ll go to request for proposals and start over.” The yearly amount for 2014 is $35,000, but the new deal will see a 3.9 per cent increase over the three years: $35,526 in 2015, $35,953 in 2016 and $36,379 in year three.

I’m going into medicine because I feel like a doctor is what I’m supposed to be. Studying in a class of 17 people I’m not just on a first name basis, but really close with everybody enroled in the Rural Pre-Medicine Program.

HEALTHY HALLOWEEN

SPENCER PAOLONE, RURAL PRE-MEDICINE PROGRAM STUDENT, SELKIRK COLLEGE

Having survived Hodgkin’s lymphoma at the age of 15 and then watching his father tragically lose his fight to cancer at a young age, Rossland’s Spencer Paolone has an intimate, heartbreaking and inspiring view of what it takes to be a doctor. He is using his triumph and tragedy to fuel his desire to become the very best doctor he can be.

Families don’t have to search alone.

We’re here to help.

Start your career as a rural physician.

Park dials into Telus funds ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

ROGER KNOX/MORNING STAR

Armstrong Mayor Chris Pieper (left) accepts a cheque for $13,450 from Telus senior market manager Cheryl Fraser and B.C. Interior South general manager Steve Jenkins.

An unnamed, undetermined project for Armstrong’s Memorial Park has received a significant cash infusion. The city accepted a cheque for $13,450 from Telus which will be used towards some kind of park restoration project. “In order to do good in business, we must do well in the communities we live, work and serve,” said Steve Jenkins, Telus B.C. Interior South general manager, in making the cheque presentation to Armstrong Mayor Chris Pieper, with help from Cheryl Fraser, Telus senior market manager. Jenkins said he has been working with Armstrong on various projects since 2006 but started a huge undertaking in the city’s 100th birthday year of

. CONGRATULATIONS , to the Vernon Sladen Moore Atom PeeWee Female Lakers Hockey Team! They won GOLD in their home tournament this past weekend! It was amazing having teams teams from as far as Dawson Creek take part! Coach Mario Richard, assistant coach Michael Vassberg, Homer Alexis, Jeremy Beacom and manager Karin Vassberg are VERY proud of the Laker Girls. All the teams enjoyed Leroy, the Royal LePage mascot, who handed out the MVP awards.

“In order to do good in business, we must do well in the communities we live, work and serve.” — Steve Jenkins

2013, introducing fibre optic cable for its residents. A portion of customers’ hook-ups to fibre optic was returned to the community by Telus in the way of the cheque. “We came to you to see if there was something near and dear to the community’s heart that we could provide assistance with or perhaps a contribution,” said Jenkins. “It became very clear that Memorial Park is a project that’s very important to the city.” What kind of project will be undertaken with help from Telus’ assistance has yet to be determined, though Pieper was ecstatic to receive a large donation. “This is fabulous,” he said. “It will definitely go toward some kind of restoration project in the park.” Fraser said Telus ran about 12 to 15 different type of family and community events in Armstrong over the past year, including sponsoring a swimming day at Memorial Park’s outdoor pool. “We held open houses and we have a small retail presence here,” added Jenkins. “We ran these events to create awareness of this investment of capital and discover what the delivery of fibre optic cable to the municipality really meant.” Jenkins praised the city for its support and the customers who have connected to fibre optic. “Without their beliefs in our products and services, this contribution wouldn’t have been made,” he said.

Vipers oust Cents GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff

He scored the winner, set up an insurance goal and added some jam to the powerplay. The Vernon Vipers got exactly what they needed from newcomer Liam Finlay in a 5-3 B.C. Hockey League win over the Merritt Centennials Saturday night at Kal Tire Place. Finlay found “instant chemistry” on a line with power forward Luke Voltin and speedster Jagger Williamson. Shortly after the Vipers’ Liam Coughlin had tied it 2-2 late in the second period, Finlay recorded his first goal as a Viper after a clever breakout started by Williamson at 18:23. Finlay converted a sweet one-touch return pass by Voltin on the resulting rush in front of 1,785 fans. “It was a gift. I pretty much couldn’t miss it,” said the 17-year-old Kelowna product. “That line, we were buzzing all night. They’re two easy guys to play with.” Vernon assistant coach Kevin Kraus was thrilled to see the powerplay click on two-of-three attempts, but said the 8-5-0-1 Snakes need to shore up defensively, especially with the 8-6 Trail Smoke Eaters visiting The Big Wheel tonight (7:00). “We got two powerplay goals, but we let in two penalty-kill goals as well,” said Kraus. “We didn’t play very well defensively.”

The revamped Smokies, featuring former Viper Craig Martin and Vernon product Harlan Orr, have the fourth-best powerplay (25.40 per cent) and goals-for average (4.07) in the BCHL. “Nick’s (head coach Deschenes) done a good job there,” said Kraus. “He’s brought in some talented players. Before, they didn’t have the skill to play that style of game. “Their powerplay is pretty dangerous and they’re definitely an offensive team. It’ll be a good test.” Tonight will be the first meeting between the two clubs this season. Vernon then begins a weekend home-and-home set with the Salmon Arm Silverbacks (6-6-0-4) Friday at the Shaw Centre. The Gorillas visit Kal Tire Place Saturday (6 p.m.) before the Vipers head to the Kootenays for a rematch with the Smoke Eaters Sunday afternoon at Cominco Arena. Thomas Aldworth, with his team-leading ninth goal, opened Vernon’s account after a defensive breakdown by Merritt (9-7). The Kellen, Tex. native fired from the slot after a nice backhand pass from second star TJ Dumonceaux. The Cents stormed in front on second-period man-advantage goals by John Schiavo (11th) and James Neil (8th).

Bennison class of cross-country Grade 10 student wins senior girls title Morning Star Staff

ROB WILLE PHOTO

Hannah Bennison of the Vernon Panthers charges towards victory at the B.C. High School Cross-country Championships last weekend in Victoria.

Hannah Bennison laughs when revealing she’s 90 pounds and almost five feet. She may still be growing, but Bennison certainly has a body born to run. The Grade 10 VSS Panther won the Subway B.C. Cross-Country senior girls championship race Saturday in Victoria. Bennison finished the 4.3-kilometre hilly course 17 seconds ahead of 2012 champion Nicole Hutchinson, a senior from Sentinel in West Vancouver. Kyra McNulty of Kelowna was third. There was a field of 225. “I was actually leading from start to finish,” said the bubbly Bennison, taking a break from piano studies before dinner Monday night. “It was a clear and sunny day and I didn’t really have any expectations. I just wanted to run my best and feel good with my effort.”

EARLY DEADLINE NOTICE

Bennison, 10th at provincials last season, handily won all of her North Zone and Okanagan championship races in the strike-shortened season. She won the B.C. Athletics club championships in the 15-year-old girls 3,000 last weekend in Abbotsford. After an impressive victory at this summer’s Sundodger Invitational, at the University of Washington, she was ranked No. 1 going into the final race of the high school season but expected to have a tough challenge from Hutchinson. “I started running in Grade 8 just for fun,” said Bennison, now coached by Nate Reiter of the Okanagan Athletics Club in Kelowna. — Hannah “I’d eventually like to get a scholarship and run at university.” She was previously coached by John Machuga and Brent Helland of the Vernon AAA Track and Field Club, and Mark Bendall at VSS.

“I just wanted to run my best and feel good with my effort.”

Mitch Meek (2nd) wired Vernon’s second powerplay snipe, going top corner on Pupplo (28 saves) after a shot-fake-the-pass from Williamson. “Our powerplay is going to be successful,” said Finlay. “We’ve got plenty of options on it and we’ve got some talented guys who can make plays.” Nick Fidanza (2nd) cut Vernon’s lead to two with 2:55 to play. Vernon tender Jarrod Schamerhorn finished with 28 saves for his fifth win. “Schamerhorn has done everything and more while Danny (Todosychuk) is (suspended),” said Kraus. “He’s shown he can be a No. 1 goalie in our league.” SNAKE BITES: The Vipers debuted their striking, yellow third jerseys against Merritt...With Todosychuk and forward Riley Brandt serving the third of six-game suspensions, the Vipers called up forward Tyler Chavez Leach from the Revelstoke Grizzlies and netminder Mitch Profeit from the North Okanagan Knights Saturday.

Jeff Foxworthy joked, “You may be a redneck if ... your lifetime goal is to own a fireworks stand.” That is timely because this is Guy Fawkes Night in England. Fireworks are set off and bonfires burn an effigy of Guy Fawkes, whose gang tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605. There were fireworks when today’s deal was played. What do you think of the auction, what should West lead against three clubs, and what is the outcome? East’s passed-hand takeout double was aggressive but acceptable. South was right to rebid one spade. Then West might have passed, but one

no-trump was reasonable. That should have been passed out (and defeated), but South could not resist one more bid. West’s two-spade call was imaginative, given South’s one-spade rebid. That contract would have required excellent guesswork by West; however, one can understand North’s threeclub raise. West found the best start: a low trump. South took the trick with his king and led a low spade. West carefully put up his eight, but then strangely shifted to the diamond six, instead of continuing with the club jack (not that that defeats the contract if declarer plays hearts twice through West). Declarer won with his diamond ace and should have

led a heart or ruffed a spade, but he played a diamond to dummy’s king and ruffed a diamond low. West happily overruffed and led the club jack, on which East discarded his heart four to give West count in the suit. So, when South won and finally tried a heart, West ducked and the contract had to fail.

EXPERTS Gerry M. Laarakker,

Darryl Walker

CET, HIS Hearing Instrument Specialist

Q: A:

www.vernonmorningstar.com

How does a hearing aid work and how do hearing aids perform with background noise?

The microphone in the aid picks up the sound in the environment and changes it to electrical energy that goes to a set of amplifiers and other modifying and adjusting circuits. The modified electrical signal is then sent to a miniature speaker (called a receiver) and delivered to the ear. The newest aids are smart enough to amplify certain sounds or frequencies that are tailored to each hearing loss. Engineers and scientists are designing components to deliver sound to the ear that replaces lost or distorted cues which contribute to the understanding of speech. Changes in directionality of microphones, the nature of the amplifier and fidelity of the sound in noise remain the main focus of most research. Background noise is present in everyone’s life. Having said that, even with normal hearing, separating speech from excessive background noise can be challenging. For people with normal hearing, the brain unconsciously filters out most background noise. With prolonged and severe hearing loss, the brain becomes lazy in this process because all sounds are reduced or inaudible and the ability to filter out noise diminishes. When an individual begins using the hearing aid all sounds are once again heard and it is necessary to retrain the brain in selective listening skills. It is critical that the hearing aid user participate in follow-up and counseling sessions during this period of adjustment. Once the aural rehabilitation is underway, most clients are once again able to filter out the majority of disturbing background noise.

Home Inspector

Divorce is granted in Canada for one reason. Marriage breakdown. Marriage breakdown is based on one of the following 3 “grounds.” There are just three grounds for marriage breakdown: Cruelty or Adultery, or Separation for one year. Any one of them is sufficient for divorce. You do not need to have more than one ground. Separation for one year: You have lived “separate and apart” for a year having decided the marriage is over. Living “separate and apart” does not necessarily mean living in separate homes. You can live separate and apart while sharing a home. It is also possible to claim that although you only recently moved out and live in a different home, the marriage broke down and was essentially over at some time in the past, regardless of living arrangements You do not need a separation agreement to prove separation.

We worry, so you don’t have to!

Q: A:

Mortgage Broker

Q: A:

I am planning on buying my first home; it is about 15 years old & appears to be in good condition. My friend who knows about houses looked at it with me & said that it was in good condition. Why would I need a professional home inspection?

For most people, buying a home is most likely the largest single purchase they will ever do in their life. Having another opinion is always a good idea; & if that opinion is a professional opinion from someone who is trained in all aspects of home inspections & has the credentials to back it up, that would go a long way in giving you, the purchaser, peace of mind knowing what condition the home was in & what repairs may need to be done down the road or immediately. I have seen homes where a friend recommended that the home be purchased & thousands of dollars needed to be spent to repair what the friend missed, & in one case the house had to be demolished. If you had a health issue would you ask a friend’s opinion or would you go to your doctor? Always seek out the advice and opinions of trained professionals, you will feel a lot safer & it could save you money in the long run, & we all like saving money.

Curtis Omelchuk Pharmacy Manager/Owner

PhD, Psychotherapist, Reg. Prof. Counsellor, Hypnotherapist What is self-love?

As Debbie Ford notes, “Loving ourselves means loving all of who we are – the brilliant and the beautiful, the flawed and the foolish, the selfless and self-absorbed, the courageous and the fearful. It means loving, honouring, and accepting the totality of our humanity. It means cherishing ourselves and appreciating our individuality and our uniqueness.” What a gift we give to the world when we love ourselves. We model and teach others how to love themselves. Wouldn’t this world be a wonderful place if we all loved and cherished ourselves! It’s not your job to like me...it’s MINE! ~Byron Katie

Why is it important to understand what my Mortgage offers?

The mortgage terms and conditions (rules) vary from one Lender to another and the differences can cost consumers more in penalties than in the past. With mortgage rates being so low: a great rate is quickly minimized if your penalty is based on another interest rate of the Lenders choice should you be forced to break the mortgage early. We are seeing a lot of mortgage features stripped away with the ultra low rates, so be sure to ask: 1) How is my penalty calculated to pay out the mortgage if I need to sell? 2) What method of calculation is being applied? Watch for the Posted Rate of interest and any discount that was granted, this will increase your penalty substantially. The best calculation is the discount rate you were given compared to the discounted rate at the time of payout or time remaining in your term. 3) What is the prepayment I am able to apply to my mortgage each year and if I sell my home can I apply my prepayment at that time to reduce my penalty? 4) Is my mortgage portable to a new home, and if I need a higher mortgage how will that affect my interest rate 5) Can I Blend my rate and extend the term of the agreement if I need to? This option is no longer offered at a few major Banks. Mortgage prepayment charges are really important to consumers and it is crucial to understand the true cost up front. A Mortgage is a legal contract and if you have any questions, you should see a lawyer who can explain the document to you in detail before you accept the Mortgage. E&O/OAC

Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council that will see the design of new outdoor playscapes and equipment, and the study of those environments on child development. “More than half of Canadian children under five years of age spend less than 10 hours per week playing outdoors versus 20 to 30 hours per week in sedentary activities,” said Dietze, who is spearheading the research portion of the project. “We know we have to find a way to make the best use of the outdoor time they do have and find ways to encourage more. Research shows a direct correlation between the increase in childhood obesity, depression, ADHD and heart disease with the decrease in outdoor play.” Dietze, a leading Canadian expert in the study of this area, will be working with Outland Design Landscape Architects on applying the guiding principles of outdoor play to new playground design. Outland will be creating prototypes based on these principles and the children at the North Okanagan Child Care Society will be fieldtesting the prototypes. At the end of this project, Outland will have at least five designs that they can then use for commercial purposes and the daycare will have a new play space. “The project will allow Okanagan College to advance research and curriculum that emphasize the importance of municipalities, school districts, and child care centres to create purposeful outdoor play environments that contribute to developing active life styles, which in turn will have positive social and economic impacts for communities,” said Lister, who will manage the project. Through the NSERC grant, Okanagan College will hire two students, one to help Dietze on the research and the other to work with Lister on the management and marketing of the project.
