Water funding warning issued

TAKING SHAPE

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR

Kelly Marsch (top) and Keneth Ducheno, of general contractors Wilco Civil, put in the goal posts at the new sports facility next to Okanagan College.

Greater Vernon residents are being warned not to expect a financial bailout just because they shot down a multi-million-dollar master water plan. On Saturday, 7,918 residents voted against borrowing up to $70 million for upgrades to the water utility, including filtration. There were 3,999 people in favour. Eric Foster “A vote yes or no doesn’t make a difference about getting the government involved,” said MLA Eric Foster of election candidates who suggested that defeating the referendum would pressure Victoria to provide grants and ease the financial burden on residents. “That’s not what would drive it. Funding is allocated on the merit of an application and if there is funding available.” Foster says the provincial government has limited resources and there are demands across B.C. “There is a bigger picture. All MLAs are fighting over the same dime,” he said. Foster is consulting with the Ministry of Health to determine the next steps in Greater Vernon and he isn’t sure if the community will be forced to proceed with the upgrades to meet drinking water regulations. Despite the referendum results, the Interior Health Authority says there are still opportunities to achieve common goals for

improved drinking water quality and reduce risks. “We will continue to work collaboratively with the Regional District of North Okanagan and Greater Vernon Water to meet that objective within a reasonable time frame,” said Dan Byron, IHA’s team leader for the large water systems program. “This might include alternate plans provided by the water suppliers to meet the provincial objective. We understand that a large capital investment in the communities is required to achieve compliance with the objective and that it can take time to realize this goal. Enforcement options under the Drinking Water Protection Act will only be considered if provincial drinking water objectives cannot be met through these collaborative efforts.” Gyula Kiss, a Coldstream councillor, is convinced an affordable water plan can be developed that meets the area’s long-term needs. “We must find a way to a solution where the Duteau Creek source would provide untreated raw water to the agricultural community and create a supply of treated water to the 20 per cent of domestic customers currently supplied by the irrigation line,” said Kiss, who opposed the referendum. “This is the scientific solution without the crazy political interference. That was the reason the plan was derailed originally and it could happen again if the public could not get involved. I would like to see a committee composed of politicians, technical experts, IHA and users to work towards a workable and affordable solution.”

School bus mishap sends two to hospital ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Two people, including a student, were taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital following a collision involving a school bus near Falkland Monday. Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP officers responded to a report of a mini-van running into the back of a school bus in the 5300 block of Highway 97 in Falkland at 4:20 p.m.

“A mini-van was found in a ditch.” — Gord Molendyk

“When our officers arrived, ambulance personnel were already on scene and a minivan was found in a ditch suffering significant front-end damage,” said RCMP spokesperson £

Gord Molendyk. “The driver of the mini-van was pinned for a short period of time.” The school bus had reportedly just got on to the highway and was going at a slow rate of speed when it was rear-ended by the mini-van, driven by a 58-year-old Falkland resident. The man was taken to VJH for observation. Molendyk said there were about 14 teenagers on the bus at the time of the accident, with

one girl taken to hospital to be checked out after complaining of neck and back soreness. The other kids were fine, and were either on another bus or had been picked up by their parents when police arrived. The driver of the bus, a 59-year-old Armstrong man, was not injured. The incident remains under investigation. No charges or tickets had been issued as of Tuesday morning.

New team formed to lead City of Vernon RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Vernon voters have brought together seven diverse individuals to work on their behalf. As a result of Saturday’s election, city council will consist of a new mayor, four incumbent councillors and two new councillors for four years. “With different opinions, we have to work as a team on how to get to a common goal,” said Akbal Mund, mayor-elect. “You have to work together. Our common ground is we all care.” The new council will be sworn into office Dec. 1 and Mund will meet with each of his councillors before then. “I want to get to get their ideas on where the community wants to go,” he said, adding that he must also consider appointments to committees, including the Regional District of North Okanagan. Incumbent Brian Quiring, who topped the polls, believes the next four years will be positive. “I am thankful the four incumbents got back in and I am looking forward to working with Akbal,” he said. “I am focusing on downtown and economic development. We need to rejuvenate downtown.” Incumbent Bob Spiers says the council composition is reasonable and he believes a major focus will have to be the failed regional water referendum. “We have to revisit the master water plan

Juliette Cunningham says she was pleased to see that she and the three other incumbents retained their seats.

“It’s a reflection that we are taking the city in the right direction and making tough decisions,” she said. “We have laid a good foundation for our relationship at the regional district. I hope with the three new members that they will

recognize how important that piece is for the community.” Catherine Lord, also an incumbent, anticipates the new council will work well together. “Akbal is really approachable and he will pull us together like Rob (Sawatzky) did. He also brings a fresh approach,” she said. “I hope to continue with the positive relationship with the regional district and on culture.” This is the first foray into politics for Dalvir Nahal, who works for the provincial government. “I was hoping for a few more new faces. That being said, I am excited to get down to business and work with the team the people of Vernon have elected,” she said. “The first order of business really is getting to know each other and going from there.” Scott Anderson, who is in communicaitons, filled out the sixth council seat. “Where we go as council depends on what direction Akbal puts us in,” said Anderson. “I want to bring city hall closer to the citizens and have their voices heard.” The new council will hold an orientation session Nov. 27 and 28, including a tour of city facilities. Prior to Dec. 1, Mund will also meet with retiring mayor Rob Sawatzky. “It will be a congenial and productive hand-over,” said Sawatzky. “There will be a learning curve (for Mund) but he is blessed with a strong returning council and administration.”

Spall resident recovers from stabbing Morning Star Staff

One man is in custody following a stabbing incident in Spallumcheen. Police were alerted to the stabbing that took place at a home in the 1400 block of McLeod Road at 1:15 a.m. Friday. “The victim, a 36-year-old Spallumcheen man, had earlier asked a homeless man if he wanted to come back to his house for a hot shower, a meal and a warm bed for the night,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.

“During the evening they had consumed some alcohol. Later in the night, when he refused to go to bed the man was told to leave the house. He refused to leave so he was then escorted from the home as he would not cooperate.” It is when the pair were at the gate at the end of the driveway that it is alleged the homeless man turned and stabbed the host in the stomach with a knife. A call was placed to 911 and officers responded to the report of the stabbing, along with a police service dog unit, but they were unable to

locate the suspect in the area. At about 7:15 a.m. Friday, an officer was travelling along Highway 97A and noticed a man matching the description of the suspect walking southbound from the McLeod subdivision toward Armstrong. He was arrested. The 59-year-old suspect, a resident of the North Okanagan, was expected in Vernon Provincial Court Monday to face a charge of aggravated assault. The victim remains in hospital recovering from his injuries.

Local voter turnout low RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Most North Okanagan residents ignored the democratic process Saturday. Voter turnout was low in all communities during civic elections. In Vernon, 9,644 people, or 30 per cent, voted out of 32,045 eligible voters. “Thirty per cent is about average if you look at the rest of the Okanagan communities,” said Patti Bridal, Vernon’s director of corporate services. “Of course, as the chief election officer, we would love to see a larger turnout, but as long as we can maintain 30 per cent, I am satisfied.” The highest voter response in the region Saturday was 39 per cent in Enderby. “Ideally, I always hope for 100 per cent but when you

look at the 39 per cent compared to previous elections, I am very pleased,” said Tate Bengtson, Enderby’s chief administrative officer. “I was pleased to see a lot of first-time voters and hope this positive trend will continue in future elections.” In Coldstream, voter turnout went from 32.5 per cent in 2011 to 30 per cent this year (the number of eligible voters has increased during that time). “It’s slightly lower than we expected but we’re still pleased,” said Keri-Ann Austin, Coldstream’s director of corporate administration. Saturday’s voter turnout was 30 per cent in Armstrong while it was 29 per cent in Spallumcheen and 24 per cent in Lake Country. In Area D (rural Lumby), voter turnout was 28 per cent, while it was 16 per cent in Area F (rural Enderby).

Vernon develops timeline for budget RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

It’s undetermined if Vernon taxpayers will be paying more next year. Council approved a 2015 budget timeline process Monday. “There are new issues we have to look at because we have taken control

of local parks. I am thinking in particular of lake accesses,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham. Funding for roads, sewer and sidewalks will also be considered. “We will look at addressing the infrastructure deficit,” said Cunningham. Cunningham An unknown is

where taxes will increase. “We have to take into consideration the taxpayers. We look at every line in the budget,” said Cunningham. Coun. Bob Spiers won’t speculate on the outcome of the budget process. “Hopefully we will keep taxes down to a minimum,” he said. “Hopefully we won’t see any big staff changes in terms of new numbers.”

Administration will present an overall budget package to council Dec. 12 and there will be a detailed budget review from Jan. 14 to 16. The process will include the incumbent councillors elected Saturday — Cunningham, Spiers, Brian Quiring and Catherine Lord — as well as new mayor Akbal Mund and new councillors Scott Anderson and Dalvir Nahal.

Change? Not so much

hen asked Saturday night why he rose to the top of the polls, Akbal Mund was quick to respond that, “People wanted change and a new direction.” That was certainly a common refrain from Mund as he campaigned against the four other mayoralty candidates in Vernon, and there’s no question that the former Wendy’s franchise owner will have a different approach than the retiring Rob Sawatzky. However, consider that with Sawatzky vacating his chair willingly, change was naturally going to happen. Mund, Victor Cumming and Jamie Morrow were running for the first time, and while Klaus Tribes is a council veteran, he had been out of politics for Richard Rolke 12 years so a whole new generation of Vernonites didn’t know who he was. And even though Mary-Jo O’Keefe has been part of council for the last two terms, she would have undoubtedly put her own stamp on the job. It’s also interesting to note that Mund’s calls for change aren’t actually reflected in the election results. Incumbent councillors Brian Quiring, Bob Spiers, Juliette Cunningham and Catherine Lord handily held on to their positions, capturing the four top places on the crowded ballot. Dalvir Nahal and Scott Anderson fill the two spots created by the death of Patrick Nicol and O’Keefe running for mayor. Now one could argue that the incumbents’ name recognition worked when voters had 14 candidates before them. And while that certainly didn’t hurt, some of the other hopefuls were relatively well-known — Shawn Lee and Jack Gilroy are former Vernon councillors, Janet Green was on Lumby council and Mark Olsen has ran for the NDP provincially. Also consider that anyone on current council has baggage after a term or two, whether it’s relocating the tourism information centre or moving the master water plan towards ref-

BEYOND THE HEADLINES

erendum disaster. Ultimately, though, it would appear that of those Vernon residents who bothered to vote Saturday, a majority either endorse, or at least tolerate, the actions of the current council. How that will translate for Mund is difficult to know. Will he be able to convince the veteran politicians around the table that a new route is required, or will he run into roadblocks? For those who think the mayor is all powerful, consider that while they can try and influence direction, the mayor is only one vote of seven. Back in the 1990s, one Vernon mayor lost complete control when he and two councillors were unable to counter the tag-team approach followed by four other councillors. Being the boss in a business means you are in charge and you can make arbitrary decisions. But on a city council, there are seven distinct personalities with different perceptions of what is best for the community. If Mund is to succeed, he would be wise to follow the lead of Sawatzky, who was a conciliator and tried to prevent wide-scale disputes. On another front, it’s quite clear that change didn’t occur. Jim Garlick was acclaimed to a third term as Coldstream mayor and five of his six councillors were returned to office Saturday night (the retiring Maria Besso has been replaced by former councillor Glen Taylor). In the electoral areas, directors Bob Fleming and Mike Macnabb were uncontested. The lack of new faces in the neighbouring communities could make it challenging for Mund if he wants to go in a dramatically different direction on water or culture. Mund and all of city council favour a review of Greater Vernon governance options, but that will hit a dead-end as officials in both Coldstream and the electoral areas oppose amalgamation. Mund will be sworn into office Dec. 1 and then he has four years to pursue the change he believes voters wanted. But given all of the familiar faces at city hall and at the regional district, it could be a lot of the same old, same old.

It’s common, after an election, to hear, “People got what they voted for.” But in the case of Greater Vernon’s failed water referendum Saturday, it’s difficult to know what residents voted for. Were residents rejecting any upgrades made to the water utility or were there concerns only about specific aspects of the proposal, such as filtration or putting treated water on farm land? By voting no, were residents insisting that they want the plan pared back from the original $70 million price tag? Were some hoping that a no vote would force the provincial government to step forward with grants as a way of easing the burden on local taxpayers? But voters may soon learn that there is a difference between what they want and reality. The next steps will largely be dictated by the Ministry of Health and the Interior Health Authority, which are insistent that regulations for drinking water be followed. There is the possibility the master water plan rejected by voters could be forced ahead with no commitment of government funds. And even if IHA and the ministry accept a watered-down (pun intended) approach for upgrades, it’s not going to be cheap. All options considered by the Regional District of North Okanagan were generally higher than the $70 million plan on the ballot Saturday. Most Vernon and Coldstream politicians elected Saturday voted against borrowing, even though many of them helped the master water plan get to the referendum stage. They helped influence voters’ actions and because of that, they must show leadership and resolve the uncertainty. However, the final decision is largely out of local hands and that could leave voters paying the price.

A walk along what could be

n a recent Sunday, being about as nice a day as you can get at this time of year in the Okanagan, my wife and I went on one of our classic Sunday

drives. We chose to head south (we live in Coldstream) through Oyama, down the east side of Wood Lake, with the ultimate destination being part of East Kelowna and some section of the Mission Creek Greenway trail. We did finally get there, choosing the Scenic Canyon section which, of course, is quite pleasant. Even just the parking area and facilities were new discoveries for us. I didn't read how long they've been there. However, this turns out to be a case of, "It's not the destination that matters, it's the journey." In Oyama, we stopped first in the vicinity of downtown, across from the community hall, crossing the rail tracks to get to the beach along the north end of Wood Lake. It was mild, calm and quite quiet. There was still plenty of colour left in the trees, especially on the east side of the lake and those upslope benches with all the orchards. Along the lakeshore, the poplars were still showing their best hard yellow. We, along with a man walking his dog, watched out over the lake as two bald eagles were circling. One finally swooped down to grab a fish — all quite wonderful and natural to witness. The day was so splendid and inviting, we decided to go over to the little boat launch area at the FOR THE KIDS Research conducted in Quebec, which has invested in a $7 a day child care program, determined that with every $1 investment in child care, the province received a $2 economic return. It’s an economic stimulus, and good social policy, that we should consider for B.C. With the cost for regulated and licensed child care in B.C. averaging between $1,250 and $2,000 a month, many stay-at-home parents find it all but impossible to seek work outside the home. The result is an endemic public health concern in B.C. The province has the infamous distinction of having the highest levels of child poverty in Canada. Generations of vulnerable children have grown old waiting for promises to be upheld and the time for waiting is over. Our children, our families, and our communities deserve better. A Coalition of Child Care Advocates of B.C. community plan for a public system of integrated early care and learning offers a practical and accessible approach to addressing child poverty, child hunger and child care. It proposes a $10 a day childcare program. Readers can learn more about the CCCABC effort and other means to address child poverty at an Idea Exchange evening at the Vernon

northeast corner of the lake and take a stroll down the railway. There is an actual pathway which eliminates the need to work your way along the actual railbed, which is sometimes awkward. We encountered several others out walking their dogs or otherwise just strolling. We didn't go much more than one kilometre south before heading back, but again, it was all most pleasant. I have lived in the area, on and off, for almost 50 years. In the past, I have walked a couple of other short stretches of the line closer to the Lumby junction, always enjoying being close to the lake and away from road traffic. In all

Dorothy, pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. Jerry Reitman ROAD UPGRADES To upgrade Cosens Bay Road or not affects me personally in no way, but I do have some thoughts to pass along. It seems one of Beth and Warren Campbell's main complaints is that the Regional District of the North Okanagan collects residents' taxes and does nothing in return. They state their taxes are paid with little or no money coming back for roads, sewer, water, or garbage collection that "every other property owner" gets for their taxes. I would just like to say that those of us who choose to live in most rural areas because of the peace and beauty do not receive any of the above mentioned benefits, only snow plowing plus grading of gravel roads. When living in rural areas, especially on acreages or waterfront, taxes are high. That's the way it is. I must also add, if all amenities were available in our rural paradises, next thing you

PIPELINES Well, I for one am certainly convinced. MP Colin Mayes wrote in this newspaper (Oct. 17), "Any pipeline built in Canada today will need to conform to our government's new environmental regulations - the most stringent in the world." The plan is for tar sands oil flowing through these new stringent pipelines to be pumped into ocean-going vessels in Kitimat and exported overseas. Every man, woman and shareholder is going to benefit, growing rich thanks to the oil profits trickle-down theory. Less than two hours after reading the amazing Mayes' article, I read another one, equally impartial, from the CBC. Whereas the Mayes' article had the headline, "Pipelines are needed," CBC's said, "Container ship full of oil, diesel

of those years, and I don't know how many times passing through Oyama, including the east side, I never once walked down that stretch of line we did this past weekend. Yes, I guess for most of that time it was a working railway but it still could've been done. The whole point of all this was how much my wife and I were impressed with it and what an opportunity it is for everyone. It truly would be a shame, a crime, if we lose it to, I don't know what, private interests? This entire corridor is a gem that must be saved. I must confess that I don't know exactly where things are in the negotiation process right now but I hope it's working to a positive outcome for the public. We can't expect to have it given to us for free but by the same token, we shouldn't be paying an unreasonably high price. I say we because if, or when, it is acquired, it will be the various local and, I hope, provincial governments shelling out our money. I am willing to put my money where my mouth is. I know times and situations are different but, how much was paid for the Kettle Valley line, especially the Myra Canyon part that draws so many tourists and locals? Would I walk or ride a bicycle along every inch of this line, you bet. Just like the Mission Creek Greenway, and all of public trails and pathways everywhere, including all over Greater Vernon. They are such a good, civilized idea. Mike Nicholls

Trio makes its way back to Vernon Jazz Club AMANDA MORAZAIN

For The Morning Star

Vernon Jazz Club audiences will recognize some familiar faces as the Lent Fraser Wall Trio, with guest bassist Bernie Addington, take the stage this Saturday night. The band will be performing tunes such as Ain’t Got Nothing but the Blues (Mose Alison), Song for My Father (Horace Silver), and Mama Just Wants to Barrelhouse (Bruce Cockburn). Their sound is a hybrid mix of jazz, blues, folk, and rhythm and blues, melding together the backgrounds and specialities of each musician. The result is a body of jazz that has strong roots in other musical worlds. The trio includes John Lent (vocals and guitar), Neil Fraser (vocals and lead guitar), and Shelby Wall (vocals and rhythm guitar). Together, they have been playing for the past 22 years. Although members originally hail from different parts of the country, their excitement and passion for music is the same. “It’s a unique and different story for each of us – two prairie boys (Wall and Lent) and one West Coast boy (Fraser) – but we were all middle class suburban North American kids maturing in the early ‘60s in an explosion of music that was so varied and irresistible,’ said Lent. “We’ve talked about that a lot; about how exciting music was back then and how demanding it was too. You didn’t want to

Music was endless.” It’s that same excitement and magic that Lent tries to achieve in his composing today. When asked what inspires him to write, he says “very ordinary, day-to-day textures and situations inspire me to write. “I find that territory so magical and rich even though you always have to be wary of sentimentality and cliché. But if you’re careful about those

things, you can reach for surprise and magic instead.” Lent, a singer, songwriter, and literary writer, moved to Vernon in the late ‘70s and taught literature and creative writing at Okanagan College for 33 years until his retirement as the college’s regional dean in 2011. Fraser recently played at the Vernon Jazz Club with the gypsy-jazz band ShusManouche. He is an accomplished guitar teacher and has been an instructor with the Vernon Community Music School for more than 15 years. Born in Saskatchewan, Wall moved to the Vernon area in the late-‘70s. He first began performing rock and country-rock and became interested in jazz around 1988. Bassist Addington has worked with top local and international artists across North America. He has played extensively throughout North America, Europe, and Australia and enjoys a successful career as a freelance musician and private instructor. Addington will also be joining the Amanda Morazain Quintet Dec. 6 at the Vernon Jazz Club. Lent Fraser Wall takes the stage at the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:15 p.m. and tickets are available in advance for $20 at the Bean Scene or Bean to Cup coffee houses, or at www. vernonjazzclub.ca. Vernon Jazz Society members receive a $5 rebate at the door.

Students write in three hours A high-speed story of loss by Penticton campus associate of arts student Jesse Frechette took the top prize at Okanagan College’s recent ThreeHour Short Story Contest. “The judges loved Lost Control for its confident and original narrative voice, which kept us fully engaged in the story to the very end,” said Okanagan College English professor, contest judge and organizer Corinna Chong. The judging panel, which consisted of Chong and fellow Okanagan College professors and writers Kerry Gilbert, Jeremy Lanaway, Hannah Calder and Francie Greenslade, said this year’s entries were strong and exceptionally creative. “The competition was fierce, which made the job of judging difficult but exciting,” said Chong. “Many students came out of the contest with excellent stories that we hope they will continue to work on.” The Three-Hour Short Story competition is an annual event held at each of the college’s four campuses and is open to students in Grade 11 and 12, and those attending Okanagan College. Writers have three hours to create a story using college computers and are not able to access any pre-written material or anything online. Students also have to incorporate a mystery phrase – this year’s phrase was “soggy bread” – into each of their stories. Four prizes of a $250 tuition credit were handed out to a winner at each campus. Besides Frechette, who was awarded an extra $250 towards his college tuition, the other regional winners were Run-Run-Run by Sarina Bouvier (Kelowna); Time Moves Quickly by Daniel Reich (Vernon) and A Small Victory by Kyle Phillips (Salmon Arm).

Arts Voices evoke savage beauty

osemary Thomson, music director and conductor of the Okanagan Symphony, took a bold step this month by contrasting baroque and ultramodern choral music, around the talents of internationally acclaimed choir musica intima from Vancouver. On stage, instead of the conventional symphony setup (with around 60 musicians waiting for the conductor’s entrance), there were a few randomly placed music stands and almost no chairs – a clear indication that this was no ordinary concert. Thomson brought in around 20 musicians (violins, violas and cellos), to perform the introductory piece Concerto Grosso in four movements, composed by Italy’s Arcangelo Corelli’s in 1713. Most of the musicians played standing, as was apparently normal in the baroque era. Starting with a brisk opening, the second movement was gorgeously expressive – Thomson conducting just with her hands.

ClassiCal Notes

Jim Elderton

Additional musicians plus 12 singers entered for the programme’s titular piece: Vivaldi’s Gloria. The familiar trumpet opening was indeed glorious, leading to the choir’s entry for “Gloria in excelsis Deo.” The 12 movements cover a rich range of emotions ranging from joy to sadness. After intermission, a stark arrangement on stage: a chair and music stand for OSO principal cellist Audrey King, and Thomson’s music stand. The choir entered to form a semicircle behind them. Exaudi was composed by Jocelyn Morlock, currently composer-in-residence for the Vancouver Symphony. Sung in Latin, the opening phrase from Psalm 65:2 (“Hear my prayer, for unto you all flesh shall

come”) was the inspiration for Morlock’s exploration of “a spectrum of emotional reactions.” Against the choir’s chant, sometimes Gregorian, sometimes lyrical, the cello dominated. I saw this as experimental, but it succeeded: dramatic, thoughtful, fearful, but also peaceful. Thomson described it as “improvisational in style, evocative of loss and morning.” There was indeed a savage beauty about it - very dynamic – probably a sound engineer’s dream – and it ended as quietly as it started. Coriolis was by Jordan Nobles, one of Canada’s finest new composers. He had previously worked with Thomson for the OSO concert with slam poet Shane Koyczan. Described by Thomson as “circular” music, this had no obvious tunes, but was a beautiful tone poem. I likened it to film music, which can stand on its own when the dialogue is removed. It was rich and almost painfully intensive –

like chewing a lemon wedge! With the return of the choir, Thomson confided that in her next life she wanted to sing with musica intima. They sang two modern madrigals – Madrigali (Fire Songs) by Morten Lauridsen and Rodney Sharman’s Love (from Love, Beauty and Desire), which was sung a cappella. There was a drama here - singers started as randomly placed individuals avoiding eye contact, and one by one moved to hold hands, finishing in a semi-circle. The final piece, Dona Nobis Pacem by Peteris Vasks, used all the performers plus two double basses, in a huge semicircle. The piece was truly out of this world – powerful, with passionate beauty. At the finish everyone held their breath for maybe 20 seconds before breaking into applause.

Gallery this week. She is showing her artwork along with fellow local artists in the VPAG’s annual members exhibition, Exposed!, which opens Thursday. “Working with the Vernon Public Art Gallery is a fantastic opportunity for myself to bring the arts and culture that I have experienced and created internationally for the last two years back to my local community,” said Shatzko. A graduate of Vancouver’s Emily Carr School of Art and Design, Shatzko most recently studied art at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. She is also a performance artist and former competitor with the Okanagan Rhythmic Gymnastics Club, and has painted canvasses while harnessed in the air doing acrobatics for TV and on international stages. Besides her New York exhibition, where her work was shown on a 25 story-tall billboard this past summer, Shatzko has also been named the in-house certified artist for the Jimi Hendrix Family Foundation. The public can meet Shatzko and all the other artists participating in Exposed! at an opening reception at the gallery, Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. Refreshments and appetizers will be served and the event is open to all ages. On display until Dec. 22, all the Exposed! artwork is for sale, with proceeds going to the gallery and the artists. More information is at www.vernonpublicartgallery.com.

The soup’s on at A Festival of Crafts Annual Christmas show brings together crafters, artisans and entrepreneurs from all over B.C.

Cara brady Morning Star Staff

Making good food comes naturally to Frances Callaghan. Her father was a chef and taught her so much that she worked in the food industry and then started her own company, 2 Ladies Soupin It Up. “I know he is looking down with a smile and saying, ‘What took you so long?’” she said. The family-run company makes a variety of packaged soup mixes that can be prepared in a slow cooker or on the stove top. All are tested and the ingredients provide choices for every

taste, including vegetarian and gluten-free. She also makes salad mixes (summer), seasonings and spices, baking mixes and other goodies. “I love to cook and eat healthy, too. And I love soup, but in today’s busy world it is so easy just to stop for a quick meal at a fast food location or purchase a prepared meal full of sodium and preservatives that is also expensive. “Who has time to cook these days, but with us all you need is a soup pot or a slow cooker and you are ready for a delicious meal to serve.”

Frances Callaghan will be at Vernon Presents A Festival of Crafts this weekend at Kal Tire Place, with her business, 2 Ladies Soupin It Up, featuring soup mixes, baking mixes, seasonings and spices. The soup mixes are made with ingredients like quinoa, lentils, vegetables, wild rice, noodles, beans and spices.

The company makes its own broths, so is able to control what goes into them, and that includes not using any MSG.

Callaghan started the business with her daughter-in-law Brianne, who now lives in Calgary and will be starting up the Alberta branch of Soupin It Up. “Family and friends have been a helping hand as well — this is a true family business.” Callaghan is looking forward to being part of the local farmers’ markets and continuing her adventures in soup making, which will include a new line of soup by the cup in the spring. “I have had great feedback from all my customers, and look forward to continuing my adventure in soup making. I love the people I have met.” For more information, e-mail 2ladiessoupinitup@gmail.com or see

National Child Day marks UN signing Lynne reside Special to The Morning Star

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Children was signed in 1989 by every country in the world except the United States and Somalia. Canada was a signer and ratified the UNCRC in 1991. In Canada, Nov. 20 was set aside as a day to celebrate children and raise awareness about their rights. This year we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the historic signing of this document. More than 100 years ago, we made the decision that public education should be universally available to all Canadians, not just those who could afford to pay. Later we included a year of an early childhood program — kindergarten — within our publicly funded system to ensure that all children started school with the skills they needed to be successful learners. In some provinces there are two years of publicly funded early childhood programs available to all families — junior and senior kindergarten. Extensive brain research in the past 20 years has proven without a doubt that the first five years of life are an absolutely critical time for brain development, with up to 90 per cent of brain development occurring during this time. Epigenetic research shows that the care and experiences that children receive during these first five years actually change brain structure, set the foundation for many areas of development and have a critical impact on health and well-being throughout the lifespan. We know an educated population is more employable, more productive, less likely to be involved in the criminal jus-

tice system, more likely to raise successful, happy children and to have better health into their senior years. Despite knowing that the period from birth to five is so critical to healthy brain development and that healthy brain development is so critical to positive learning and health incomes, we have not made the same commitments to early learning as a province or a country. Early years investment results in lower remedial education costs, lower costs in the justice system and lower costs for health care.

“...we want to raise awareness about why quality, affordable, accessible child care is important to all of us whether we have young children or not.” — Lynne Reside

Enhanced family leave, quality child care and strong support for vulnerable aboriginal, newcomer and refugee families are extremely valuable investments in Canada’s future. To commemorate National Child Day, we want to raise awareness about why quality, affordable, accessible child care is important to all of us whether we have young children or not. In the same way that public education is important for the greater good of society, so is ensuring that when parents are increasingly needing two incomes to afford the ever increasing cost of living including housing, child

care, education and saving for their senior years, we need to ensure that early care and learning programs/child care are affordable, accessible, safe and meets the developmental needs of children to prepare them for success in school and in life. There is no more valuable resource to invest in than our future citizens. The Early Development Instrument is a population-based measure of how children are doing in their early development and is conducted on all kindergarten children in the province. In School District 22 the vulnerability rate is 33 per cent, just slightly above the provincial rate of 32 per cent. School District 83 vulnerability rate is 34 per cent. Quality early care and learning programs can have a great impact on counteracting this alarming data. Child care will be an issue for the federal election coming up next year and can also be addressed in numerous ways at the municipal level. For instance, the City of Vancouver has a comprehensive child care plan that could be used as a guideline by other municipalities. The City of Vernon has endorsed the $10/day plan along with many other municipalities, businesses, organizations and individuals. On Thursday at 7 p.m. in the Vernon library Community Room, Sharon Gregson will speak on the topic, “Who’s Looking After the Kids?” The spokesperson for the Child Care Advocates of B.C. will discuss the provincial child care plan and the child care crisis in B.C. Contact coordinator@noecdcoalition.ca for more information. Everyone is welcome. C. Lynne Reside is the early years community development coordinator for the North Okanagan Early Years Council.

www.2ladiessoupinitup. ca or find them on Facebook. Look for Callaghan at Vernon Presents A Festival of Crafts this weekend at Kal Tire Place, 3445-43rd Ave. The annual Christmas show takes place Friday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Crafters from all over British Columbia will be exhibiting their wares. Admisssion is $3, kids under 12 are free, and $1 from each admission goes to the North Okanagan Hospice Society.

Appies whet the appetite

The Joy of Music

hether we like it or not, we’re on the downward slide to

Christmas which is preceded by company parties and other gatherings. More often than not, we will be asked to Cathi Litzenberger bring an appetizer to share at these events. Late 20th century dictionaries treat appetizers and hors d’oeuvres — popularly understood to be bite-sized finger foods offered at cocktail parties and receptions — as synonyms. By the 1860s in England and America, the word appetizer was used simply to provide an Anglophone equivalent for the French hors d’oeuvre. Early physicians recommended eating small morsels of salty meats prior to a meal in order to prepare the digestive system for the main course and to ensure proper digestion. In our era, finger foods allow groups to mingle while enjoying a good variety of tasty morsels. Roasted Broccoli and Cheddar Cheese Dip 12 ounces broccoli florets (about 6 cups) 2 tablespoons vegetable oil Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 4 Tbsp. (1/2 stick) unsalted butter 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instead, Garlick is hoping all the regional partners can focus on getting things done, like parks and water. The next step in the water plan, said Garlick, is approaching the provincial and federal government for funds to assist in improvements, as well as taking a ‘sober second look’ at the plan, which was turned down by voters. Some adjustments may also be in the works in terms of Interior Health’s high standards.

“I think they’re looking at what the standards are and they’re looking at making some changes,” said Garlick. In terms of his own council, Garlick is pleased to see the return of all incumbents as well as another experienced candidate. “It’s good five of the six council members are continuing and the one person, Glen Taylor, has previous experience.” Doug Dirk, Pat Cochrane, Gyula Kiss, Richard Enns and Peter

Enderby, Lumby and Spallumcheen are calling for a moratorium on road construction until Cherryville can conduct a watershed assessment.

“The community hasn’t bought into the BCTS study being accurate. There are experienced loggers out there,” said Nick Hodge, a Lumby councillor. “The risk of slides in that area is quite high. There have been two already over the years.” Vernon council also voted recently to write a letter of support for Cherryville.

Dec. 1. The existing council will say goodbye to Coun. Maria Besso, who didn’t seek re-election, at its final meeting Monday.

We believe that quality truly counts. DID YOU KNOW there are different types of beef roast? If you have had a problem cooking roasts, it may be you are selecting the wrong roast for the cooking application. Premium Oven Roasts include Top Sirloin, Prime Rib, and Strip Loin. Premium roasts are aged a minimum of 14 days for tenderness, graded, well marbled, fine grained, and should be cooked quickly at high heat. Here is a recipe for Premium Oven Roast that will ensure a tender, juicy roast every time: 1. Place roast, fat side up, on rack in roasting pan without lid 2. Season to taste 3. Insert meat thermometer in centre of roast, avoiding fat or bone. Roast at 325°F to desired internal temperature - For rare 140°F, for medium 160°F, for well 170°F For more information about Askew’s premium beef, feel free to speak with our meat department specialists.

Enderby approves water rates RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

The cost of water has been finalized in Enderby. On Monday, council adopted the metered water rates bylaw. “I would have preferred a lower base rate but if people reduce their leaks and people save water, we could see a serious drop in money,” said Earl Shipmaker, outgoing councillor, of the revenue needed to run the utility.

The bylaw sets the flat rate for a single-family home at $234, with a consumption charge of $1.30 per cubic metre. Shipmaker is pleased the bylaw is based on what the utility needs to operate and won’t be bolstering reserves. 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.

As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D. Helps to reduce the time it takes to fall a sleep. In most cases also stops snoring and gasping for air (sleep apnea) first night. Stops torturing your partner all night. Good sleep prevents being tired next day. Tired people work only at half capacity. What people truly experience: < I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH < Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS < For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 NPN 80027595 #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS <It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.

Efforts are being taken to reduce the wildfire risk in part of Okanagan Landing. The Vernon Fire Department is working with a local resident to hold a prescribed burn along 200 hectares on the north slope above the Rise Golf Course and extending back toward Canadian Lake Estates. “We are trying to

clean up areas that are a potential threat,” said Lawrie Skolrood, deputy fire chief. There is a lot of dead wood because of the mountain pine beetle infestation. “The area is notorious for lightning strikes,” said Skolrood, adding that a wildfire could threaten homes. Skolrood is pleased to see a property owner take the lead with the burn, which will take place after the first major snowfall in November. “He sees that there is a risk. It cleans up an area of concern for us,” said Skolrood. The dead fall will be collected into small piles and burned. It will be closely monitored by firefighters. The possibility of the controlled burn spreading will be limited because of snow, and attempts will be made to minimize the impact of smoke on air quality.

30 YEARS OF DREAMS Thank you, Vernon, for making dreams come true since 1985. Kalamalka Rotary’s Annual Dream Auction is celebrating its 30th year of successful community contribution. Thanks to the overwhelming kindness of the people of Greater Vernon donating goods and services, the countless hours spent by industrious Kalamalka Rotarians collecting and assembling these gifts, and the never-ending generosity of guests attending the auction, this year’s Dream Auction has surpassed a cumulative $3,000,000 of giving to the community and the world. Each and every Kal Rotarian gives up time, effort and funds to ensure the success of this event, and because of their hard work, fully 100% of money raised from the auction is given back for carefully-selected worthwhile causes. There are no costs or administration expenses deducted from this giving. Every year, auction proceeds are allocated 50% to a major local need, 25% to numerous minor causes, and 25% to international aid in health, education or living conditions. Over the past 30 years, recipients of assistance have included: • Vernon Jubilee Hospital Maternity Ward • Vernon KidSport™ transportation, • Salvation Army transportation • NONA Treehouse Child Development Centre • Women’s Transition House • Polson Park kids’ water park • Skateboard parks in Polson and Coldstream parks • Teen Junction building • North Okanagan Hospice House • Vernon Restholm Low Income Seniors Residence • Abbeyfield House Seniors House • Okanagan Science Centre • Ribbons of Green walking trails • Sovereign Lake Cross Country Park lighting • One-on-One Child Reading Assistance • and countless other projects and recipients. In addition, Kal Rotary provides Local post-secondary scholarships, assists with funds and help on the ground in Africa and Asia for famine relief, Education, clean drinking water, and libraries, orphan assistance, cleft-palate and burn aid, and jointly with Rotary International continues the fight, almost won, to eradicate polio from the world. Annually, we sponsor an international student exchange for the furtherance of world peace and understanding. The continuing generosity and support of the citizens of Greater Vernon and beyond is the sole reason we Kal Rotarians can continue our efforts to make the world a better place. You make a difference. Thank you all, from everyone at the Kalamalka Rotary Club.

Bikes stolen, gazebo goes up, funds secured ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Keep your bicycles locked and chained up in Armstrong. Third-quarter crime statistics released by the Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP detachment, which encompasses Armstrong, show there were eight thefts under $5,000 in the month of August, and 11 overall in the quarter, which runs from July to September. The majority of those thefts were high-end bicycles. “It’s high-end bikes between $2,000 and $4,000 that are being stolen, parted out and sold on the market,” said Mayor Chris Pieper, following a meeting with RCMP officials. There were 282 total files in the city during the quarter, including a high of 121 in August. That’s down from 318 total files in the same quarter in 2013. Gazebo going up A site inspection has been done, so Armstrong and Spallumcheen are progressing with erecting a gazebo in Memorial Park. The best location for the gazebo was determined to be at the north side of the park. “As further details are known, they will be brought forward and final approval of both councils for all aspects of the project will be required before construction can begin,” said city administrator Melinda Stickney in a report to council. The township approved the location at their Oct. 20 meeting. To be determined A recent donation from Telus to the City of Armstrong will head to

the parks and recreation reserve fund. Telus donated $13,450 as part of its TV For Good campaign, where the funds were tied to the number of residents who signed up for the new Telus Optik service. At the start of the campaign, council told Telus that any funds raised would go towards

Panthers claim Okanagan crown Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Panthers will represent the Okanagan Valley at the B.C. Senior AAA Girls Volleyball Championships, Nov. 26-29, in Parksville. Keith Becker’s Cats, who have been ranked in the top-five all season, swept the South Kamloops Titans 3-0 (25-18, 25-14, 25-23) in Saturday’s final of the Valley playdowns in Kelowna. Clutch blocking and hitting from middles Courtney Becker and Katie MacGillivray and serving from Jessica Melvin played key roles in a lightning-fast third set. Precise passing from libero Kendra Cooper also boosted VSS. Outside hitter and co-captain Stephanie Mintz took MVP for the Panthers. “Stephanie had a very solid weekend with great serving and hitting which set the tone for the team in preparation for provincials,” said Becker. “I would like to recognize each one of the girls for their dedication to the team and good work ethic on and off the court. This truly is a benefit to the season, and will make the trip to Parksville very exciting.” The Panthers claimed their fourth tournament of the season by winning their pool, opening with a 2-0 (25-9, 25-12) win over the NorKam Saints. Ashley Condie provided marvellous setting and libero Megan Reeves supplied bold digs and passes in the first set. In Round 2, VSS stopped the Sa-Hali Sabres of Kamloops 2-0 (25-22, 25-23) with powerful hitting from right side McKenzie Kreeft and middle Jordon Korol. The Panthers then dispatched the Titans 25-16, 25-19, with stellar hitting from Anna Rice and Kristy Fugel and sweet setting from Tanner Lorenson. VSS then outlasted the host Okanagan

Mission Huskies of Kelowna 2-1, taking the final set of the semifinals 15-9.

Maroons top Senior AA boys field

The No. 2 Fulton Maroons defeated the Princess Margaret Mustangs of Penticton 3-2 (11-25, 27-25, 25-21, 22-25, 15-13) in Saturday’s final of the Valley Senior AA boys championships at George Elliot in Lake Country. The Maroons move to the provincials, starting Nov. 26 in Langley. Fulton iced the Seaton Sonics 3-1 (25-16, 25-17, 23-25, 25-20) in the semifinals. The Maroons sputtered in the quarters, erasing an early nine-point deficit to the Revelstoke Avalanche for a 3-0 win. Fulton also spotted Seaton a 15-3 lead before taking one set. “Our play was inconsistent throughout the weekend, but the boys showed great composure in finding a way to gain back control of the matches,” said Fulton head coach Richard Bedard. “The passing wasn’t up to our usual standard, so setter Bryn Bedard was really solid for us in keeping the offence varied. “Middle Karanmeet Khatra was clutch in the finals for us, making key blocks and kills. Ryan Doerges and Nick Prystupa dug a lot of balls and the transition was pretty good. Losing the first game 25-11 did not deter them at all. They turned it around and led the rest of the games, even though the scores do not tell that story. It was a great final considering our uneven play. Still lots of room for improvement.”

Lakers bow to Maggie in final

Princess Margaret iced the Kalamalka Lakers 3-0 (25-13, 25-19,25-23) in the finals of the Valley Senior AA girls playdowns Saturday at Fulton.

The Mustangs advance to the provincials, starting Nov. 26 at Brentwood College in Victoria. Kal will play in a wildcard tournament this Saturday at MEI in Abbotsford with one B.C. berth on the line. Princess Margaret grounded Fulton 2-1 (20-25, 27-25, 15-11), while Kal downed the Westsyde Whundas of Kamloops 2-0 (25-14, 25-18) in the semifinals. Westsyde brushed off Fulton 3-0 (25-22, 25-20, 25-22) in the consolation final, while Revelstoke toppled the Pleasant Valley Saints of Armstrong 2-1 (25-15, 23-25, 15-7) for seventh place. “My team put everything on the line in the semifinal match versus the No. 6 Mustangs,” said Fulton coach Sharon Shaigec. “Maggie was bigger than us and has a provincial team power hitter who destroys the ball, but we executed our game-plan perfectly, left everything on the floor and unfortunately couldn’t close the game in the third.”

Royals bank Valley bronze

The Vernon Christian Royals bagged bronze at the Valley Senior A Girls finals Saturday in Clearwater. The Royals finished pool play Saturday morning with a three-set loss to the topranked Immaculata Mustangs of Kelowna. “Taking a set off of Immaculata was the highlight of the tournament for the girls,” said Royals’ coach Jason Reedyk. The quarterfinals featured a rematch of the North Zone finals with the Royals turning back the Eagle River Talons of Sicamous 2-1 (16-25, 25-14, 15-10). Vernon then bowed 2-0 (25-23, 25-11) to the Aberdeen Hall Gryphons of Kelowna in the semifinals before sweeping the Clearwater Raiders 2-0 (25-18, 25-23) for third. The Royals play challenge matches tonight in Kelowna for a chance at a provincial berth.

McCarthy fires winner as Vipers ground Grizzlies KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

Head coach Mark Ferner ordered his players back out for another hour skate Sunday afternoon at Kal Tire Place. It certainly wasn’t punishment as the Vipers joined fans for a casual post-game skate after dispatching the Victoria Grizzlies 5-1 before 1,650 B.C. Hockey League fans. Newbie Colton McCarthy, being interviewed by the visitors’ bench, took several jabs from teammates skating by with fans. “Don’t forget to mention your linemates,” shouted Trevor Fidler. “I did,” replied McCarthy, who scored the winner as the Vipers improved to 12-7-1-1. Vernon is fourth in the crazy tight Interior Division, two points back of the Merritt Centennials and three behind the West Kelowna Warriors. The Penticton Vees are runaway leaders at 19-3-0-1. McCarthy, who has been practising with the Vipers for two weeks since leaving the WHL Prince Albert Raiders, banged in a rebound from in tight after Victoria goalie Michael Stiliadis stopped Anthony Latina’s shot with 5:40 left in the second period. “I don’t know about hands, but it was a wide open net,” said McCarthy. “Fids did all the work down there and Anthony tipped it and it deflected right to my stick. Nice tap in goal for my first one.” McCarthy, an 18-year-old centre from Salmon Arm, compiled six goals and 11 points in 102 games with the WHL

ROGER KNOX/MORNING STAR

Victoria Grizzlies’ netminder Michael Stiliadis covers a puck with Vernon Vipers’ forward Blaine Caton on his doorstep in B.C. Hockey League action Sunday afternoon at Kal Tire Place. Victoria defender Zach Dixon (No. 3) ties up Caton. Moose Jaw Warriors before being traded to Prince Albert. The 6-foot, 190-pounder quit the Raiders after eight games this season. “They were the first team to contact me actually and it’s close to home,” said the 6-foot, 190-pound run-and-gun centre who loves Jonathan Toews of the Hawks and cheers for the

Montreal Canadiens. “I knew six of the guys before I came here so I talked to them and found out how they like it and if it’s worth coming. It was exciting; it’s a great team, great organization. I loved it out there today.” Captain Riley Guenther, a former Raider who didn’t know McCarthy, says the quiet forward makes the Vipers a tougher team to play. “He’s a big body; he’s a power forward who’s going to get to the net and give us a little bit more toughness and hopefully bang in a few more greasy ones with him in front of the net there.” T.J. Dumonceaux put the Vipers up 1-0 with 4:28 left in the opening period, going bar down on a rebound off a Luke Shiplo shot, with 54 seconds remaining in Cole Pickup’s minor penalty. Dumonceaux has five goals on the season. The Vipers rang up three snipes in 2:04 in the third with Fidler deflecting Latina’s shot past Stiliadis early in the frame. Shiplo took a feed from Liam Finlay and one-handed a rebound off his own shot past the Grizz goalie in close, while Finlay connected on a bang-bang play with linemate Jagger Williamson for the 5-0 goal. Victoria, with several top-six forwards playing hurt and leading scorer Dane Gibson suspended, were playing their third road game in a row after falling 3-2 in overtime Saturday night to the West Kelowna Warriors. Wisconsin product Brett Gruber netted his team-high 10th goal of the year, on a Victoria powerplay midway through the third.

Injuries piling up for Grizz Continued from A31

The Grizzlies dipped to 8-8-0-4, fourth in the Island Division. “When three of your top-six forwards aren’t playing, on the road three-in-three, you’re not gonna win those,” said Victoria head coach Brad Knight. “I thought we quit there a little bit in the third which seems to be our thing, but hopefully we’ll try and figure that out. It’ll be OK.” Knight, in his first year with the Grizz, who have a dozen rookies, gave Vernon props for the win. “They move the puck. They got a couple of rebound goals. We gave them the first one. We took a dumb penalty in the neutral ice away from the play. We’ve been taking dumb penalties for a while. A couple of goals driving to the net and on rebounds so a little better man on man down low for us, all of a sudden, it’s a different game.” The Vipers were coming off a disheartening 4-2 loss Friday night to the Vees. “That’s a lesson we learned,” said Guenther. “We can’t let a team outwork us in the third period in our own barn like they did that game. Tonight was a good bounce back for us; I think we scored three goals in the third.” The Snakes wore their Sunday-best yellow third jerseys – close in colour to the Quinnipiac Bobcats’ sweaters – and enjoyed several scoring chances. Forward Liam Coughlin had two sure goals somehow go awry. “They (yellow duds) were a little much for me when I first saw them, but I’m starting to like them, laughed Guenther. “Maybe one too many stripes on the arms.” SNAKE BITES: Before he was called up to Moose Jaw two years ago, McCarthy was ranked second in the KIJHL in goals with 20 in 25 games with the Nelson Leafs despite being a 16-year-old rookie.

Today’s deal occurred during a tournament in the Netherlands. How should the defense go to defeat three no-trump? West leads his fourth-highest club. South takes East’s king with his ace and continues with a

diamond to dummy’s 10. South’s two-heart rebid was a reverse, promising a maximum opening bid (16plus to 20 points), five-plus diamonds and, usually, four hearts. North’s two-spade rebid showed at least a fivecard suit and was forcing for one round. (This is one of the very rare situations where a player maybe rebid in only a five-card suit.) East should win the second trick with his diamond ace and return the club four, the higher of two remaining cards. Then West, who has no entry, must play his three. This keeps communication with his partner and shows that he started with a fivecard suit. Declarer takes this trick in the dummy and leads a low

heart. Now East must not be dozing. He must grab the trick and play his remaining club to give the defenders one diamond, one heart and three clubs for down one. An expert sitting East ducked this trick and South claimed, taking two spades, one heart, four diamonds and two clubs.

Social media is incredibly good at directing our spending habits, and encourages us to buy, buy and buy it now! And of course, we can believe everything we see on TV right... If you are falling into a fast paced shopping frenzy, try these simple steps in your home to help you stay on budget:

A home will support you if you simply pay attention to the signals it sends you. Focus on your own behaviour: if you sleep well, eat well and think well, all will be… yep you guessed it… well

“Success is a science. If you have the conditions, you get the results.” - Oscar Wilde

The best planning you can do is to have a Mortgage “check up”. Your mortgage is the largest debt you will likely have in your lifetime and it makes sense to see if you can save additional interest or have a plan to repay the mortgage sooner than expected. We help clients to see that the cost of owning a home can be up to double (and, in some cases, triple) the original purchase price but with a few simple changes you can save yourself thousands of dollars in interest costs over the life time of the mortgage. Not all Mortgages are created the same and we can help you to better understand and have a plan for the future to be mortgage free. Let’s get started! E&O/OAC

During this cold weather are there any easy fixes to making my home more efficient to heat?

Yes, there are a number of things one can do to make your home warmer. First off, having your furnace serviced if it has not been done yet this year, is a good starter, a properly running furnace will use less fuel to heat your home. Second, cleaning or changing the air filter on the furnace would be good; your furnace will not have to work so hard to circulate the air through your home. Third, installing foam gaskets behind all the electrical outlets and switches that are located in the exterior walls of your home, this will help keep the heat from migrating through the wall and to the exterior. Fourth, check to make sure the weather stripping is in good condition and seals your exterior doors and windows. Fifth, ensure that your attic access hatch is insulated and sealed with a weather stripping. Six, if your basement or crawlspace is unfinished you can check to make sure that at least the rim joists around the perimeter of your basement/crawlspace are insulated, and if not then insulating would be a big improvement. These are just a few inexpensive things to do to help keep your house warmer and more efficient to heat. There are other upgrades that you can do as well that are more costly, but may have a government grant attached. For more information on government grants you can go to www.nrcan.ca and click on the ecoACTION link.

Q: A:

If you don’t have a will, a court decides who gets your assets. A will is a device that lets you tell the world whom you want to get your assets. Die without one, and the state decides who gets what, without regard to your wishes or your heirs’ needs. Making a will is especially important for people with young children, because wills are the best way to transfer guardianship of minors. You may amend your will at any time. In fact, it’s a good idea to review it periodically and especially when your marital status changes.

At what point should I get my hearing checked?

Your hearing should be checked routinely throughout your life. Just as we have regular checkups for dental and vision, so should we have our hearing evaluated on a regular basis. As we age, checkups become more frequent as hearing is likely to change more over the age of 50. As to detecting a reduction in your hearing range by yourself, you can’t. That is where your hearing healthcare professional comes in and why routine hearing checks are so important. If left unchecked, it is likely other people will notice changes in your hearing before you do.

We worry, so you don’t have to!

If your hearing evaluation reveals your hearing thresholds have diminished in the speech range, it may be time to assess how today’s technology can keep you connected to the people you love and cherish.

Why do I need a will?

We have always wanted to have a financial plan and we would like to start to work on this. Is it possible to review our home mortgage to see if there is a better opportunity available to us?

PhD, Psychotherapist, Reg. Prof. Counsellor, Hypnotherapist Why would I come for a Spiritual Direction session?

People come for spiritual direction for many, many reasons. Some people come because they want to challenge and deepen their spiritual beliefs. Others are experiencing a spiritual crisis or emergency. Some may be dealing with serious or fatal illness - either their own or that of a loved one. Or, grieving the death of a loved one - human or that of a beloved animal. Many people are simply seeking guidance and support on their spiritual journey and are looking for ways to create and implement their own spiritual practices. Whatever reason for a spiritual direction session, transformation and empowerment happen when you strengthen your spiritual beliefs and connections.
