Region making an impression RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Sir Anthony Hopkins knows what he likes. Best known as cannibal Hannibal Lecter, in The Silence of the Lambs, the Academy Award winner has discovered a sweet treat at Silver Star. “I really like the cinnamon buns in Frank’s shop,” he said of Frank Berkers, owner of Bugaboos Bakery Cafe. Hopkins has been exploring the North Okanagan as he films Go With Me in Enderby, Vernon and Lumby. And whether it’s the Village Green Centre or at the D&E Drive-In, he’s meeting residents one-on-one. “They are lovely people, wonderful,” said Hopkins, who insists that requests for photos or autographs are not an inconvenience. “It’s my job. They pay my salary.” Hopkins is also taken with the movie, which also stars Ray Liotta and Julia Stiles. “It’s an excellent script. There’s not too much dialogue. It’s a brutal and harsh look at life,” he said. While Hopkins has been in some major blockbusters, he has been intimately involved in the development of independent Go With Me for three years. “I like scripts that are simple. Sometimes you do a movie and it’s so hacked (edited) to pieces because everyone has good ideas. Danny (director Daniel Alfredson) is flexible but he doesn’t want people messing about.” A major reason Hopkins is in the North Okanagan is because of Rick Dugdale, an Enderby native and partner in Los Angelesbased Enderby Entertainment. “It’s incredible to see the locations you already know,” said Dugdale, the film’s producer. “We shot interiors of Enderby city hall as the sheriff ’s office.” Dugdale is largely familiar with city hall because his mom, Louise Dugdale, works there. “His main thing has been to bring something back to Enderby,” said Louise. “I am very proud of Rick and what he has accomplished.” And Dugdale is looking beyond Go With Me. He wants to see this region become a destination for motion pictures.
LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR
Sir Anthony Hopkins takes a break from filming Go With Me in Enderby Wednesday to chat with The Morning Star in his trailer. Rick Dugdale, partner with Enderby Entertainment which is producing the movie, stands outside the Enderby set. “The North Okanagan is very versatile. There are many different looks. You can look like mid-California to northern California or Oregon,” he said. “The airport and hotels that are quality also work for the area, and there is crew here.” The North Okanagan is also more geographically condensed than other communities, and that’s important in a business where time is money. “The logistics here are manageable. You can shoot in Vernon and go to Enderby in 30 minutes but it can take two hours to go from the North Shore to Tsawwassen (in the Lower Mainland),” said Dugdale. However, Wednesday’s snowfall created some challenges for a script that didn’t call for white stuff. “It wasn’t a huge rewrite but there was some tweaking. We moved inside to control the conditions,” said Dugdale. But even with that, crew members had to sweep snow off a tree in a Regent Avenue yard. “We will be seeing the tree out of the window so we don’t want to show too much snow,” said Dugdale. Residents keep walking past the set, often

stopping to speak to the actors and crew. “We want people living here to enjoy the experience. We don’t want, ‘Damn, Hollywood was here and left,’” said Dugdale.
“I love people taking it in and educating themselves about the industry. If we can inspire one kid to go to Vancouver and learn (the trade), we have done our job.”

Realtors rally for area food banks richard rolke Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan residents are opening their doors again to neighbours in need. The 37th annual Realtors Food Drive takes place Wednesday in Armstrong, Coldstream Enderby and Vernon. “As realtors, we give our time and resources to this worthwhile event because it is a way to give back to the community we care about,” said Dawn Taylor, food drive organizer. Non-perishable food items that are collected will be donated to the community food banks in Armstrong, Enderby and Vernon. “I’m always excited about the real estate food drive because it’s an important part of our preparations for Christmas and into 2015,” said David MacBain, with the Salvation Army food bank in Vernon. “We continue to have a steady flow of residents in need.” It’s anticipated that the Vernon food bank will hand out about 800 Christmas hampers this year. Vernon realtors will be joined during the food drive by staff from local financial institutions and the North Okanagan branch of the Early Childhood Educators

Imagine not having enough food to serve 300 hungry mouths a day. That is currently the scene at Vernon’s Upper Room Mission where low-income residents are served three meals a day. “We are super-duper low on food,” said Lisa Anderson, fundraising director. “The pantry is bare. All we pretty much have is condiments.” Food donations are welcome, but Anderson really hopes the community will provide financial assistance. “Through corporate sponsorship, we have strong buying power and we can buy at whole-

sale prices. For every $1 donated by the community, we can stretch that into $3,” she said. With food donations, the most needed items are meat, eggs, milk, canned items and fruit and vegetables. The mission provides services to a range of residents, including seniors, the disabled,
people with minimum wage jobs and the homeless. “With it cold out, people are depending on our services more,” said Anderson. “We want to provide healthy, nutritious meals but it’s difficult to do that right now with the lack of food.” Through URM’s purchasing program, a $50 donation will feed 15 people. “For cash donations or if we are presented with a grocery receipt with a food donation, we can use that for issuing a tax receipt,” said Anderson. The Upper Room Mission is located at 3403 27th Ave. in Vernon. For more information, call 250-549-1231.

in Enderby to benefit those in need just as those in Vernon stay there.” Donation bags will be distributed in many Vernon areas Tuesday (but not in Enderby) and the food drive will begin at 5 p.m. in all communities Wednesday. There will not be a door-todoor campaign in Lumby but residents can drop food off at the Lumby real estate offices for the local food bank. Among the food items being sought during the Realtors Food Drive are rice, pasta, canned meat and fish, canned fruit and vegetables, tomato products, beans, flour, sugar, cereal, peanut butter, jam, oatmeal and canned or powdered milk. Taylor is confident North Okanagan residents will support their neighbours in need during the holiday season. “Each single can of food given and received adds to a pile that grows into an enormous amount that will keep the shelves of the food banks open,” she said. It will take the food banks days to process all of the donations from the Realtors Food Drive. “We need volunteers to help sort and organize and we appreciate their support,” said MacBain.

Vernon RCMP are investigating an alleged pepper spray incident inside the Vernon Recreation Complex. Staff from the rec complex called police at 9:15 p.m. Wednesday to report a pepper spray incident in the men’s change room. “Our officers attended and were told the suspect ran out the back door of the complex,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. All swimmers had been evacuated from the pool area as a precaution. “One 19-year-old man did get pepper sprayed and staff and one of our officers helped him get decontaminated at the pool,” said Molendyk. “There is some indication the victim knew the suspect but doesn’t know why he would be targeted for such an act.” A police service dog was called to assist, however they were not able to locate the suspect. The file is still being investigated, and anyone with any information about this incident is asked to call the Vernon detachment at 250-545-7171.

It wasn’t a fire drill at a Lumby school. Firefighters were called to Charles Bloom Secondary School at about 11:45 a.m. Wednesday when an electric motor went on a compressor for a sprinkler system. “There was a little bit of smoke,” said Tony Clayton, Lumby fire chief. “The alarms went off and all of the kids went outside.” Except for the compressor, there was no damage done to the school. Lumby firefighters were also kept busy with downed power lines Wednesday. “Branches were coming down on wires because of the heavy snow,” said Clayton. There were incidents on Maple and Glencaird streets in the village and on Franklyn Road in Whitevale. “A branch was touching the wire and there was some arcing,” said Clayton of the Whitevall call. Heavy snow also led to downed power lines on Keddleston Road in the BX and Birch Lane in Coldstream.

Snow brews up challenge for Falkland family roger knox Morning Star Staff
Wednesday’s big dump of snow created some issues for the Williams family of Falkland. First, Richie Williams was driving to work from the family home near Cedar Hills Road, off Highway 97, at 5 a.m. He was waiting at the bottom of his third-of-a-kilometrelong driveway to turn onto the highway when a passing snowplow
threw snow and ice all over his car. It wasn’t until Williams arrived at work that a colleague pointed out a large chunk of his car’s exterior was missing. “He heard a bang when the ice and snow hit the car but never thought anything of it until he arrived at work and somebody pointed it out,” said Amy Williams, Richie’s wife. Shortly before 8 a.m., Amy was trying

to get her daughter to school in Armstrong but as they reached the bottom of their driveway, they were greeted by what they described as a 53-foot semitruck carrying cases of beer on its side, blocking the driveway. “Well they sent a guy to sit with the truck two hours later so nobody would steal the beer,” laughed Amy. At 2 p.m., a tow truck came out and told Amy that he had “at least 10 more calls to go to” before he could move the beer truck. So, Williams and her daughter were stranded at home. “We don’t blame the driver at all,” she said. “The roads were icy and because we are the first straight stretch after several bends and

is what happened but this is what we see all the time.” Richie parked his car upon his return home from work in the evening in a safe spot near
the driveway, and had to walk up to his home in the freezing rain that was falling. The flag people and two big tow trucks arrived around 4:30
p.m. Wednesday, said Amy, and finally got the truck out at 5 a.m. Thursday. While it might have been a huge inconvenience not being able to get out of their driveway for 24 hours, the Williams did have several laughs over the incident. “From the tow truck guy telling us he was on Highway Thru Hell (TV show) and his story of 16 hours to get his last truck out, which is not what you want to hear when you have a semi in your drive, to endless texts and Facebook messages from friends and neighbours saying they will pop by for a beer,” chuckled Amy.

Lumby lights up for Christmas Morning Star Staff

Happy Black Friday
f you looked really hard, you might have noticed an actual newspaper in amongst the 30-plus flyers in Wednesday’s edition of The Morning Star. The lead-up to today’s Black Friday retail shopping event has ramped up big-time in the past few years and it is now one of the biggest, if not the biggest, days for our publication in terms of flyer inserts. Normally, with a 44-page paper like Wednesday’s, we wouldn’t need to go with two sections, but we did this week because there was no other way to fit all the flyers in. I did a doubletake when I picked up the paper at the front entrance when I walked into the office Graeme Corbett Wednesday morning. I grabbed the one off the top of the pile, not realizing it may have been the biggest 44-page product in newspaper history. That thick bundle of newsprint might be irksome to some, but I am in no position to judge as that is what pays my wages, and it is what allows us to do what we do best – report community news, sports, lifestyle and entertainment issues and events to you, the reader. For free, I might add. And if you think having a few extra flyers arrive on your doorstep is a nuisance, try being the person that has to deliver them. Some of our carriers had to cover their routes twice Wednesday, delivering one section at a time while trudging through heavy snow. Scanning some of the flyers, it actually looks like there are some decent deals to be had today. Most major retailers in the country have jumped on board the Black Friday bandwagon. I wrote a business feature for the tab that was also squeezed in Wednesday’s paper (we use it as a way to offer some extra ad space for some of the smaller local retailers that
AT RANDOM
don’t have the means to create their own flyers). In talking to several business owners, it appears their distributors really do make an effort to offer some deals. And it isn’t just TVs and electronics anymore. Clothing, furniture, bookstores and even car dealers are getting in on the act. Alas, I won’t be partaking in the shopping bonanza this year as we just forked over the payment for our trip to Mexico in the New Year (a first-world problem, to be sure). So aside from buying a few gifts for our little one, we won’t be going retail crazy this Christmas. We have even opted out of the traditional family secret Santa draw so we have a few extra pesos to spend abroad. I was somewhat cynical when the Black Friday frenzy started gaining traction in Canada several years ago. My view was that it was a made-up event we copied from the States. Black Friday falls the day after American Thanksgiving, the fourth Thursday of November. That much we do know. After that, its origins are a little murky. Depending on what source you refer to on the almighty Interweb, Black Friday can refer to: company sales going from red (losses) to black (profit); the collapse of the U.S. gold market in 1869; or employees calling in sick the day after Thanksgiving to have a four-day weekend. There seems to be a little more consensus around the notion that it started in Philadelphia in the 1960s, and referred to the crowds and traffic resulting from the annual Army-Navy football game. How that got turned into a bastion for consumerism, I have no idea. Looking at this event from a retailer’s perspective, if you saw all these Canadians heading south of the border to do their holiday shopping – keep in mind the dollar was stronger when this trend started – wouldn’t you want to do something to keep their dollars local? I can’t say I blame them. Whether you open up your wallet, that’s up to you.
North Okanagan residents are known for their generosity and compassion and there’s no better time to get involved than leading up to Christmas. Currently, the shelves at Vernon’s Upper Room Mission are bare and the Realtors food Drive Wednesday supports the food banks in Greater Vernon, Armstrong and Enderby. While many of us are focused on purchasing that perfect gift for Christmas, North Okanagan nonprofit operations are under a lot of pressure. The start of the recession in 2008 led many residents to seek assistance for the first time, and conditions haven’t improved yet for many. In fact, some residents face the tough choice of paying the rent or buying groceries. It’s expected the Vernon food bank will hand out about 800 hampers this Christmas, while the Upper Room Mission serves about 300 meals a day. The magnitude of the situation may appear overwhelming at times, but local residents constantly demonstrate their willingness to lend a hand. And North Okanagan realtors and supporters make it easy to give. Just be prepared with a bag or two of food donations and leave it on your front step for collection Wednesday. If canvassers don’t show up, call your local real estate office Thursday for pick-up. All food will help neighbours in Vernon, Armstrong and Enderby. In terms of the Upper Room Mission, the staff and volunteers there will gratefully accept any non-perishable food items or monetary donations provided by the public. Christmas is a wonderful time of the year and it reminds all of us of how we can make a difference in the lives of others. Make sure you embrace the spirit and do your part. You will feel better for it.

CBC IS BALANCED I can’t resist responding to Anne Ellis, “No public service.” It always amazes me that people are willing to make strong statements on a subject about which they obviously know nothing. It’s especially amusing to read the implication that CBC is leftist. If Ms. Ellis had ever actually listened to CBC, she would know they do not “embrace” anything, are not “promoting ideologies” and are certainly not a “propaganda machine.” I doubt you could find more balanced or fair coverage anywhere. C. Burke PM DEFENDED Re: Save the CBC - Smoke and mirrors. Enough is enough. To begin, I do not belong to any political party. I am appalled to hear the constant running down of Mr. Harper and his government down. To say Mr. Harper viciously cut the CBC of our distinctive Canadian culture is nothing

Column research questioned
fter reading and reviewing MP Colin Mayes latest report, I am shocked at the inaccuracies found in the report. I have been involved with research in the Canadian Arctic for the past 40 years and I am a Canadian delegate for the Atmospheric Working Group of the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC). IASC assembles all of the main Arctic researchers once a year to exchange and collaborate on research within the circumpolar world. I am shocked at the information Colin Mayes includes in his report. I am not sure what the sources of his information are but they certainly do not agree with some of the leading researchers in this field. Specifically then, let us review his recent statement: “This is because the polar ice cap has increased in the last two years by 40 per cent, the polar bear population is at a 20-year high, the glaciers in the Himalayas are not disappearing and ocean levels have not risen.” Let us look at these statements individually: 1) “This is because the polar ice cap has increased in the last two years by 40 per cent.” The National Snow and Ice Centre released on Oct. 7, 2014 the latest update on sea ice and they state: Following the seasonal daily minimum of 5.02 million square kilometres (1.94 million square miles) that was set on Sept. 17, 2014 (sixth lowest in the satellite record), Arctic sea ice has started its seasonal cycle of growth. Arctic sea ice extent averaged for the month of September 2014 was 5.28 million square kilometres (2.04 million square miles), also the sixth lowest in the satellite record. This is 1.24 million square kilometeres (479,000 square miles) below the 1981 to 2010 average extent, and 1.65 million square kilometres (637,000 square miles)

above the record low monthly average for September that occurred in 2012. Given that the sea ice extent was 1.24 million square kilometres below the 1981 to 2010 average extent, I am not sure how Mr. Mayes can calculate a 40 per cent increase. 2) "The polar bear population is at a 20-year high:" The International Union of Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has a Polar Bear Specialist Group (PBSG) which is the authoritative source for information on the world’s polar bears. These polar bear specialists create updates of polar bears for the entire circumpolar world and divide them into regional populations. Canada has 13 sub-populations and of the 13, six of them are stable (no change, so no increase or decrease), four of them show declining bear populations and only two of them are showing an increase in polar bears. I am not sure how Mr. Mayes converts these results into a 20-year high. 3) "The glaciers in the Himalayas are not disappearing:"
in comparison to what Mr. Trudeau's former government did when they cut health care payments to the province and reduced our military drastically (which Mr. Harper built up in the meantime). This I call vicious. Canada is never at the bottom of any list. If you think Mr. Harper's base is strong with the U.S. right-wing party, then check out Mr. Trudeau's advisers (remember Mr. Ignatieff). Please define right-wing to me. Is it people and leaders who are for tougher laws for criminals, against abortions, retracting passports from people who want to do us harm and smoking marijuana, etc.? What next, cocaine? Then I am glad we have such a government. I watch CBC News every day and on Sept. 15, Peter Mansbridge's news guests, Amanda Lang, senior financial advisor to the CBC, and three other persons discussing Canada's standing in the world, to the conclusion that Canada is the champ. That is good enough for me. If Mr. Harper has destroyed institutions, systems, etc., he must have had a good reason and I don't think this has been done lightly. We have already too many who are depend-
ing on funding instead of standing on their own. We have also lots of waste. I am also sure Mr. Harper has no hidden agenda. He is too busy running around our country. His achievements are always swept under the rug. His latest and biggest - the trade deal with the European Union. What an achievement for the whole country. I am not worried about global warming but I am sure worried about ISIS and I am not alone. I am also glad that Mr. Harper had the foresight not to participate in Kyoto. Nothing came of it because not everybody joined in. Yes Mr. Trudeau heard the people speak — the ones who have no regard of our lads by openly smoking weed on our streets. It is scary to watch the rallies. Mr. Harper is a strong leader who we should be proud of. He is a statesman. Don't replace him with so-called leaders with no experience, little knowledge about our country and our world. We live in a very turmoiled world and we need strong leaders with strong backbones and morals. Sylvia Posch

A recent study, led by Yao Tandong, director of the Institute of Tibetan Research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, and eminent glaciologist and paleo-climatologist Lonnie Thompson of Ohio State University, is the most comprehensive examination so far of the region’s glaciers. The scientists studied 30 years of data from the field, and satellite and weather records to examine the retreat of 82 glaciers, the area reduction of 7,090 glaciers, and mass-balance change - the difference between the accumulation and loss of ice of 15 glaciers in the seven larger regions of the Himalayas, the Tibetan Plateau and the Pamir Mountains. "For the glaciers studied, approximately nine per cent of the area of ice that was present in the early 1970s had disappeared by the early 2000s. Where we had decadal information, we could show that the rate of retreat had accelerated," Thompson said. Again, how does Mr. Mayes convert this into the glaciers not disappearing? 4) "Ocean levels have not risen:" The U.S. National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration show that both earth-based instrumental records and satellite data show that the average sea level rise is occurring at about three millimetres per year. Yes, there is some variation from site to site but when averaged lead to an overall consistent rise in sea level. What better information does Mr. Mayes have about sea level to claim that it is not rising. If this is the quality of work which Mr. Mayes produces it makes me wonder about the quality of information he presents in all his reports? If Mr. Mayes is to continue on this path, he should at least cite the proper scientific authorities he is quoting. Claude Labine

was a hit,” said Joanne Taylor, a member of the Buoyant Buddies. “As well, (Carnival mascots) jopo and jopette, in the original costumes, were there handing out Winter Carnival pins to the appreciative crowd.” This was part of the evening activities of the three-day festival which included a street parade in which each team presented itself in varying costumes and banners. The Buoyant Buddies team is made up of breast cancer survivors ranging in age from 45 to 84. The festival in Sarasota took place at Nathan Benderson Park, which was created especially for water sports such as boat racing. The Buoyant Buddies placed 23rd out of the field of 101 teams participating from around the world. There were about 3,000 breast cancer survivors taking part in the festival. After the closing ceremony, the crowd was treated to a fireworks display which was reflected in the waters of the racing canal. “The Sarasota Festival was an awesome conclusion to four years of fundraising and planning by the team,” said Taylor. “This event is true evidence to the survivorship and quality of life after breast cancer.” The Buoyant Buddies, who had their supporters with them on the trip, want thank Nancy Wilde Imagination for providing the props for the team for the parade.

Extension for rail trail proposal ALISTAIR WATERS Black Press
Call it an extended extension. The local governments in the Okanagan that are trying to obtain the abandoned CN rail line between Kelowna and Coldstream have been given another one-week extension to make their submission to the Canadian Transportation Agency. The extension will also give negotiators more time to try to do a deal with CN and avoid

the CTA process altogether. According to the local governments’ lead negotiator Doug Gilchrist, the new extension, granted Monday, follows directly on the heels of a previous oneweek extension that expired the same day. C a n a d i a n Transportation Agency is waiting for the local government’s submission to start its process of determining what a fair price for the 50-kilometres of land along the rail corridor would be. Gilchrist said he is hopeful a deal can be done without having to involve the CTA.
“We’re close but I won’t say we have a deal.”
— Doug Gilchrist “We’re close but I won’t say we have a deal until we actually have one,” he said Tuesday. While the local governments asked the CTA to determine a fair price — CN is believed to be asking $50 million— they say they would prefer to negotiate a deal directly with CN. Kelowna, Lake Country, Coldstream
and the Regional District of North Okanagan, supported by Vernon, have teamed up to try and buy the abandoned rail corridor with the idea of turning it to a valley-long recreational trail. In September, Kelowna city manager Ron Mattiussi said the local governments and CN had “the essence of a deal,” but as a pre-

caution, to protect their position and stop CN from offering the rail corridor to anyone else, they called for the land value determination by the CTA. That process has yet to start, said city spokesman Tom Wilson. If no deal is made in the next week, The CTA will start its process. The rail line and corridor are owned by CN and a separate operator was running trains on it between Kelowna and Coldstream up until last summer. Since the closure of the spur line, a short portion in the north Okanagan near its intersection with the main CN east-west line has re-opened. But the majority of the line through the Okanagan spur has remained closed. That is the section the municipalities and regional district want to buy. Kelowna officials have said a number of funding opportunities are being pursued to raise the money to pay for the acquisition, should talks be successful with CN. If no negotiated deal can be made, the CTA price determination would be binding on CN but not on the municipalities. They would then have to decide if they want to pay that price or let CN sell off the land, either in whole or in parts, to other non-government buyers. “Like any real estate transaction there are many parts to be negotiated and this one is no different,” said Gilchrist in explaining the need for more time to try and make a deal.

Sign session on tap Morning Star Staff
Downtown Vernon merchants are being consulted on proposed directional signage. Cleo Corbett, City of Vernon long range planner, has been working on signage for public parking areas in the downtown core. “The aim of the project is to create effective, attractive, branded signage that encourages people to utilize these parking areas,” said Lara Konkin, Downtown Vernon Association executive director. On Wednesday, Corbett will be at the DVA office from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. to provide DVA members with information, sign design options, parking sign locations and to get input. “This will be a dropin session so stop by anytime during the session, have a snack and give us your thoughts and feedback,” said Konkin. “Parking signage
options can vary greatly. What should Vernon’s new parking signs look like?”

council have joined forces to build an outdoor classroom. The outdoor classroom features stone benches aligned in a spiral, where teachers will be able to take their classes to and provide a distinct learning experience. “We use the best practices and modern technology at our school,” said principal Ross Hett. “Every classroom has a smart board but we also want students to be in touch with nature.

glass type coating with stumps for chairs. Hett says it’s all about providing a balance for students, who are learning about technology in the classroom and also faced with plenty of video screen time at home. “There are some kids where both parents are working so video games tend to be overly-relied upon,” he said. “Computers are wonderful and we believe in technology but we want to have all of the best experiences in education. We want to engage our students and draw upon their curiosity.” The outdoor classroom is just another part of what makes the Oyama Traditional School distinct. The school also has a greenhouse — the only one in the school district — and also operates two garden plots at the nearby Oyama community garden. With just over 100 students in kindergarten to Grade 6, Hett says the school continues to provide unique learning experiences and adding an outdoor teaching area where kids will soon be able to read, study or release butterflies from, is something special. “We want our students to learn about nature, respect nature, be good stewards to the environment,” he said. “This is another great learning space kids can go to.”

Brandt brings buzz to Viper den Snakes roll Cents 7-3 to grab share of second spot KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
With four points through 18 games, Riley Brandt is hardly rating any all-star votes in the B.C. Hockey League. The Vernon Viper disturbance specialist, however, brings a number of intangibles quickly making him a fan favourite at Kal Tire Place. Brandt did just about everything except win the intermission frisbee toss as the Vipers dispatched the visiting Merritt Centennials 7-3 before 1,500 fans Wednesday night. The Trail product, who turns 18 in two weeks, tossed several heavy checks, set up Brandon Wagner’s goal, retreived the puck after Johnny Coughlin netted his first BCHL snipe, loaned his stick to goalie Danny Todoyschuk with the Cents pressing and used some sick moves before being denied by Merritt rookie net detective Anthony Pupplo in tight. Brandt bowled over Pupplo on the play, earning an interference minor. Seconds after serving the penalty, he picked up the puck and sped down the right wing before feeding Wagner. Brandt, a thick 5-foot-7, 185-pounder, earned the Fortis Energy Player of the Game as Vernon (14-7-1-2) grabbed a share of second place in the Interior Division with the West Kelowna Warriors. “My linemates (Linden Hora the other winger)were helping me out a lot there and I tried to do my best to help the team succeed and I thought I had one of my best games of the season,” said Brandt, who split last year between the BCHL Trail Smoke Eaters and the KIJHL Beaver Valley Nitehawks. “Willy (former coach Jason Williamson) told me there was a spot open for me, but I still had to earn my way in here and thankfully, I’m glad I did because our team’s doing really good. “Every line was going tonight. Everybody contributes. That’s the only way you’re gonna get a championship out of a hockey team is if you’ve got lines from one to four and all six dee going. Our goalies have been phenomenal and everybody is pitching their part and that’s the key to our success.” Vernon was without head coach/GM Mark Ferner, who was away dealing with the death of his brother, Darrell. Assistants Kevin Kraus and Eric Godard managed the bench. Darrell Ferner, who was 59, lost a short battle with a rare form of cancer in Vancouver. He amassed 125 points and 230 penalty minutes with the Major Junior Kamloops Chiefs in the 1975-76 season. He was drafted in the 14th round by the Calgary Cowboys of the World Hockey Association in ‘75. Liam Finlay, Coughlin, and Luke Voltin gave the Snakes a 3-0 lead after 20 minutes. “It felt good,” said Coughlin, of his goal. “It’s been a little while. It was a good play by (Thomas) Aldworth. He hit me in the slot and it just went in the back of the net.” Aldworth actually fooled everybody taking a pass from Liam Coughlin and looking off a wide open T.J. Dumonceaux

Riley Brandt of the Vernon Vipers takes out Merritt Centennials’ captain Sam Johnson in B.C. Hockey League play Wednesday night at Kal Tire Place. Vernon won 7-3. in the mid-slot, skating 10 more feet and spotting Johnny Coughlin. The pesky Cents closed to within a goal by pocketing powerplay snipes from blueliner Jake Clifford and Nick Fidanza six minutes apart in the second period. Viper forwards Colton McCarthy and Aldworth responded with goals six minutes apart before the period ended. McCarthy was the beneficiary of a lucky bounce as Luke Shiplo’s point shot caromed off the end boards in front.

Cole Chorney connected from the left side 5:43 into the final frame for Merritt, but Wagner and Voltin added insurance down the stretch. The Cents, who outshot the Vipers 39-34, dipped to fourth place, two points back of Vernon and West Kelowna. The Penticton Vees are runaway leaders with 45 points. Merritt, playing without four regulars, including highscoring James Neil, weren’t quite as gritty or determined as head coach Luke Pierce expects in what was entertaining pond hockey most of the night. “I didn’t like our first period very much, but I thought we fought back alright,” said Pierce, a former Viper. “The fourth goal was a bit of a killer. It was a lucky break, but you work for your breaks and they did a lot of little things right and we were trying to be too fancy at times and just couldn’t create a bounce.” Cents’ captain Sam Johnson, who hails from Okotoks, Alta., said it was frustrating outshooting Vernon 39-34 and falling behind early. The 20-year-old d-man, who was sporting a nasty shiner on his left eye and a cut across his face after taking a high stick in practice, says the Cents need to solidify their identity. “We are a hard-working team. We’ve still got some things to work out so we can string together some wins. Everybody’s gonna have to buy in that everyone’s here for a reason. We all have our own specific skillset that they bring to the table and some guys need to starting bringing that.” Voltin’s deuce pushed him to six on the season as he keeps getting better on a unit with Finlay and Jagger Williamson. “My linemates and I are just clicking right now and playing hard, battling and getting pucks to the net,” said the New Jersey-born left winger. Voltin, who takes ribbing from his Canadian teammates when he wears American flag dress socks, says the Vipers are an unselfish bunch. “It’s a team, it’s our locker room, everybody has to pitch in. We don’t have a first through fourth line. Ferner says everybody has to play the same and that’s the way we try to play.” Voltin, Johnny Coughlin, Kenny Citron, Liam Coughlin, Trevor Fidler and Aldworth celebrated American Thanksgiving at the home of Viper billets Rick and Lynn Chisholm. The Vipers visit the Salmon Arm Silverbacks tonight and host the Smoke Eaters Saturday night. Salmon Arm and Trail share last place, six points back of Merritt. Salmon Arm traded 18-year-old d-man Bennett Morrison to the Chilliwack Chiefs for future considerations Wednesday.

King queen of Canada West championships Morning Star Staff
Former Vernon Kokanee Savannah King netted Canada West’s first star of the week for her recordbreaking performance at the conference swim championships last weekend in Lethbridge. King and Coleman Allen, of the UBC Dolphins, combined for 10 gold medals. A two-time Olympian, the 22-year-old King recorded four gold medals and one bronze in leading the UBC women to a sixth straight Canada West crown. Allen racked up six gold and one silver in setting three individual Canada West records, helping the Dolphin men earn a second straight title. For a fourth straight year, King was named the Female Swimmer of the Meet in Lethbridge. Swimming in her final Canada West Championships, the fifth-year Kinesiology student dominated the distance freestyle events, pocketing gold in the 200metre, 400 and 800 distances. Her other gold was in the 4x200 freestyle relay. She added bronze in the 200 backstroke. Over her Canada West career, King has collected 20 gold medals, two silver and two bronze.

He said Saturday will be a great opportunity to serve up a slice of revenge. First, the Panthers will need to solve the Bulldogs’ unorthodox offensive schemes. “We have the athletes to do it,” said Garvie, who also plays safety. “They run an offence that’s a little different than what we’ve seen, but our coaches are preparing us. “They run an offence called a wing-T. They’re really compact and they don’t have many receivers out wide. They look like a dog pack, but it’s a lot more technical than it looks.” Offensively, Garvie thinks the Panthers can find holes in the Bulldogs’ pass defence. “We’re really starting to flow on offence, especially with the help of our John Garvie coaches,” he said. At the beginning of the year, Garvie said the provincial championship was always the goal, but added it wasn’t until they stuffed the Abbotsford Panthers – the team that knocked them out of junior provincials in 2010 – in the quarterfinal, that they really started to believe. “I don’t really think we thought it was realistic for us to win it,” said Garvie, Sean Smith who is also the Panthers’ star point guard in basketball. “They thought there was a chance, but after last game the guys are really starting to believe and that it could be our turn.” The Mission Roadrunners iced the Carson Graham Eagles of North Vancouver 34-14, while the Ballenas Whalers of Parksville bounced the Hugh Boyd Trojans of Richmond 42-12 in the other quarterfinals. Mission and Ballenas meet Saturday after the VSS-Barsby game. The Subway Bowl championship goes Saturday, Dec. 6 at B.C. Place.

The Lumby Stars brushed back the Salmon Arm Storm 4-3 in North Okanagan Super Atom Hockey League play Saturday at the Shaw Centre. Sponsored by Terry’s Automotive and Irly Bird Building Centre, the Stars improved to 5-2, good for a share of third place, by getting goals from Bryden Murray, Tori Maltman, Kyle Wheeler and Mia Maltman. Garrett Louis and Ryder Quibell supplied clutch assists, while goalie Cameron Smithson recorded several marvellous saves for the team’s hard hat. The Ranelli brothers – Noah and Andrew – were bold on defence. The Stars grounded the host Kelowna Greyhounds 10-3 in exhibition play Sunday. Quibell exploded for five goals to earn the hard hat, while singles came from Jace Catt, Tori Maltman, Quintin O’Neill, Mia Maltman and Murray. Assists were registered by Zachary Young, Wheeler, Mia Maltman and Tori Maltman. The DCT Chambers Coyotes extended their Bantam Super League undefeated streak to six games by icing the Five Star Awards Cougars 7-3 and tying the first-place North Okanagan Knights 3-3. Coyote d-man Colton Schaper-Kotter supplied 2+1 versus the Cougars, opening the offence with a blast in the first. Jacob Brewer fed Landen Harison to give the Coyotes a 2-0 lead.

Brewer pocketed two goals in the last half, while Chris Aldrich and Tavyn Best added singles to deal the Cougars their first loss of the season. Isaac Waldemaras was rock-solid for the win. Talon Williams (2) and Elias Wery answered for the Cougars (2-1-3). Jaden Stone buried a rebound of a wicked Schaper-Kotter point shot to give DCT (4-2-2) the lead against the Knights Saturday in Enderby.

Continued from A21
Widrick stripped an Orange defender in the corner, drove to the net and tried to stuff the puck in shortside on goalie Sam Knox. The puck rolled up, struck Knox in the back and landed just across the goal line. The slick Winfield centre added an empty netter on a bank shot for his third unassisted goal of the night. Just Orange (1-4-2) twice rallied from two-goal deficits thanks to the tropical-looking Reece Hawthorne, back from a sunny vacation. The hustling centre scored all three goals. Knox and Caedon Bellmann both made a number of sparkling saves in the Orange net, while d-man Tanner Bueckert made several key shot blocks. The Lumby Tirecraft Bantam Laker girls lost 6-2 to Kelowna and bowed 4-0 to the Chase Mustangs in home action. Jessica Chillhitzia and Taylor Cousins assisted on Vernon’s first goal by Wynter Vanderveen against Kelowna. Josey Nerling scored in the third, assisted by Chelsea Marshall. Madison Johnson was busy in net versus the Mustangs, turning away 33 shots. Emily Wilson-Francois and Payton Kineshenko were stellar on the back end. The Bannister Blazers moved into first place in the Pee Wee Super League by blanking Butcher Boys Snipers 7-0 and stopping North OK 5-2. The Blazers (7-1) received brilliant play from net detectives Jared Ross and Eric Strutinski. Brayden Riguidel jumpstarted the offence in Saturday’s shutout, assisted by Dawson Martian. Griffin Fletcher made it 2-0, from Aiden Skinner. Martian added a deuce in the second, while Trevor Moore, Fletcher and Skinner connected in the third. Stingy defence by Moore, Tydon Louis, Tyler Kruysifix and Brenden James kept the Blazers well in front of Armstrong Sunday at PV. Jayden Veit (2), Martian, Skinner and Fletcher handled the offence. The Stevenson Mechanical Bolts won twice in Pee Wee Super League play. First, the Bolts erased a three-goal deficit to upend the Vernon Rebels 9-5 at Priest Valley. After the Rebels jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, Sapien Joe countered for the Bolts, driving the net off a draw. The Rebels pushed the score to 4-1, but Ronan Bedard buoyed the Bolts by burying his own rebound before the break.
In the second, Joe made another virtuoso score directly off a faceoff. Ashton Pede squared the affair with a 30-foot laser. The Rebels grabbed the lead again, and the Bolts answered as Jordyn Morris tipped Jackson Soucy’s point drive to Bedard, who bagged his second. In the third frame, Bolt blueliner Quinn Soon rushed over the Rebel line and fired the winner. The Stevenson Mechanical crew pumped in three more in the final three minutes off the sticks of Chris Bond, Joe (hat trick) and Morris. On Sunday at Kal Tire Place, the Bolts belted Winfield 8-1 with Joe and Bedard pulling hat tricks. With Vernon up 2-0 at the break, Teja Sheldrake deflected a Levi Vanderdeen bomb and Bond capitalized early in the second half. Caleb James then danced through the Bruins and chipped a backhander. Bedard banged home a rebound from Soucy, and then Joe tallied again to make it 6-0. After Winfield got its lone marker, Joe completed his trick on a wraparound. In the final frame, a hard-driving Easton Rayner set up Bedard for his third. Ethan Keber was sharp in the win. The Sladen Moore Lakers Pee Wee/ Atom Girls fell 7-2 to Kelowna and 8-0 to Merritt. Emma Roine, assisted by Camryn Beacom and Sarah Claeys, and Claeys, unassisted, counted goals against Kelowna. D-men Shelby Richard and Robyn Alexis skated miles, while forwards Ivy May Scott and Mackenzie Miller checked hard versus Merritt. In Midget play, Talon Benefits Snakes rang up four third-period goals to defeat Vernon Seed Orchard Studs 5-2 Sunday at Civic. Reece Schroeder of the Studs and Jeff Hiscoe of the Snakes traded first-period goals before Maguire Dickinson, from Parker Wadsworth and Dominic Loosli, made it 2-1 Snakes before the ice clean. Hiscoe again pounded a shot home from the point early in the third, followed by two tallies from Dustin Beckner and a single from Martin Grenier. Conner Fair, Cody Bauml and Logan Meier scored as Lumby stopped first-place Blackburn Excavating of Salmon Arm 3-1 in Midget play Sunday in Sicamous. Jacob Holland and Noah Foufoulas supplied standout goaltending.

Voter turnout numbers disappoint KEVIN PARNELL Black Press
With Lake Country’s voter turnout amongst the lowest in the Okangan, some residents and politicians are calling for voting stations in the wards for the 2018 municipal election. But election officials say it’s not as easy as it sounds. Under 25 per cent of the eligible voters turned out to cast ballots on Nov. 15 in Lake Country, with Okanagan Centre leading the way with 32 per cent of the eligible voters casting ballots in that ward. Tw e nt y - s e v e n per cent of the voters turned out in Oyama while 21 per cent voted in Winfield and just 17 per cent cast ballots for mayor and councillor-at-large in Carr’s Landing with its council candidate acclaimed. The low voter turnout came as a bit of a surprise to some involved in the election, including election officials at George Elliot School, a very busy place on election day as the only polling station available in Lake Country. “We were so busy and the turn-out was lower than the last election,” said deputy elections officer Willene Perez.
“We were busy but we thought it was good because it meant the turnout would be good.” Failed candidate Randy Rose says it was disheartening to see the turnout numbers. “There is a huge number of voters who are simply disengaged respecting our municipal government,” said Rose. “Despite my efforts to raise awareness, most residents don’t see the importance of holding our leaders accountable for their actions. I think there should be separate polling stations in Carr’s Landing and Oyama and perhaps Okanagan Centre.” One thing that slows the process down in Lake Country is making sure residents are voting in their proper ward. As voters showed up, officials looked up the person’s address to confirm which ward they would be voting in. “It used to be that people would come in and say what ward they lived in but we had to look everyone up,” said Perez. “We can’t take the chance someone thinks they live in Okanagan Centre but they are in Winfield. That wouldn’t be fair to the candidates
Gallery gets funds Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Public Art Gallery Society has been awarded a $14,550 grant from the B.C. Arts Council for the 2015 Okanagan Print Triennial. “Undertaking an exhibition of this calibre is certainly a challenge for a gallery of our size so we are thankful for the BCAC funding and partnerships with the Kelowna Art Gallery and the University of B.C.,” said Dauna Kennedy Grant, Vernon Public Art Gallery executive director. Occurring every three years since 2009, the Okanagan Print Triennial displays a variKennedy Grant ety of approaches and techniques in print art. An exhibition will be held at the Vernon Public Art Gallery from March 19 to May 21, 2015. “When we started planning this International version of the OPT back in 2009, it was with the goal of hosting this as the premier show in a new art gallery facility,” said Kennedy Grant. “While that won’t be happening, we are working hard to ensure this international exhibition helps to showcase Vernon as a culturally progressive community.” A B.C. Arts Council grant of $20,000 is also going to Caravan Farm Theatre in Spallumcheen for a hay and horse barn.

Help Prevent Heart Attacks with Vitamin C and Lysine Powder W. Gifford-Jones, MD
W
hy is heart attack the number one killer in this country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack. Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling reported twenty-five years ago it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack. Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.
I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent. But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus™ is available at health food stores and specialty pharmacies. The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop mixed with water or juice with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day. This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. That is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors. As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine! I turned 90 this year.
Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries. Sixteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal. I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking cholesterol lowering drugs (CLD’s). I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications.

JEFF NAGEL
This year’s flu shot may prove less effective than usual because the dominant virus now circulating has mutated significantly in the months since the vaccine was devised. The H3N2 strain – one of three targeted in this year’s flu vaccine – is thought to have changed its genetic makeup enough to possibly thwart the antibodies that the vaccine activates. Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an epidemiologist with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, is still recommending the vaccine, particularly for the elderly, the chronically ill and those with compromised immune systems. “It’s not a perfect match,” she said. “But for the high risk, even an imperfectly matched vaccine is going to give cross protection. And for some people it could be life-saving.” She said the H3N2 strain tends to be particularly nasty to the elderly and may bring a deadlier flu season than usual. Skowronski “We may see more hospitalizations or deaths this year,” Skowronski said. She said it’s particularly concerning that the flu has struck B.C. surprisingly early this season, causing outbreaks in eight seniors’ care homes. The vaccine was formulated last February because it takes six to eight months to produce in large quantities and the H3N2 virus is thought to have since mutated while circulating in the southern hemisphere. Skowronski said it’s still not too late to get the shot and some protection when flu activity peaks in the weeks ahead, including any later surge of cases of influenza B, which tends to peak in March or April. The vaccine also targets the influenza B and H1N1 viruses, but they’re considered less likely to cause illness this flu season. Even in years when the vaccine is a better fit – last year’s was about 70 per cent effective against the then-dominant H1N1 strain – Skowronksi says everyone should wash their hands frequently and avoid touching their eyes, nose and mouth. People who get the flu shot often mistakenly think any illness they contract can’t be flu and sometimes fail to get appropriate treatment. “It doesn’t make you invincible,” Skowronski said. Anti-viral medication can stop or fight an influenza infection but must be given quickly, ideally within 12 hours of the start of symptoms. An estimated 3,500 Canadians die each year from flu complications – mainly seniors and others with underlying conditions.

drug use. This is the best time to start to introduce difficult topics and set clear expectations. It is crucial to prepare your child for a time when drugs will be offered. Drug abuse prevention starts with parents learning how to talk with their children about difficult topics. Then, the programs offered by school, sports, and other groups can support what you have started. As a parent you have significant influence on your child’s decision not to use drugs or alcohol. Prevention stars by talking and listening to your child. Your kids want to talk to you about drugs and need your advice. Moreover, they require boundaries. Establish a no use rule in your family. Simple rules help kids make healthy choices. Rules such as: n Provide guidance and clear rules about not using drugs. n Do not use tobacco or any other drug yourself. n Set limits. Set a clear time for homework, bed time and a specific time to be home. n Give your child specific duties and chores. This will help them grow and mature. Modeling is another important feature in parenting. Be a good example for your child. If you drink, do so in moderation and never drive after you drink. Finally, help your child make smart choices. When your child makes a poor choice, love them and correct their behaviour without criticising them. This will help them build self-esteem and help them to make better choices in the future. Doug Rogers is the substance abuse prevention counsellor for the Vernon School District.

Powerhouse stages new twist on beloved fairytale Theatre brings the western Canada premiere of Norm Foster’s A Snow White Christmas to Vernon Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
Snow White is sick and tired of whistling while she works. It’s been more than 30 years since she tore away from her evil stepmother, and escaped the huntsman tasked with cutting her heart out. She hasn’t had to pick up after those messy little dudes, the Seven Dwarfs, for quite some time now, but now has to look after her own brood of urchins. In fact, her life has changed so drastically, she now runs a candy shop, make that a “sweat” (the a is silent) shop, with a group of orphans. And all was good with her Prince Charming until he met Cinderella. So goes the new theatrical production by one of Canada’s most-produced playwrights, Norm Foster, with music by renowned composer-librettist David Warrack, which is making its western Canadian premiere at Powerhouse Theatre next week. “This is Norm Foster’s 50th play, so it is a milestone for him,” said Jackson Mace, who is directing Foster’s comedy, musical, fairytale A Snow White Christmas for Vernon’s community theatre with an all-local cast and crew. The Powerhouse presentation will, in fact, be the second time the play has ever been staged. It made its Canadian premiere in Orangeville, Ont. last December. “You can almost predict that this will be looked on in 10 years as a Canadian Christmas classic,” said Mace, who last directed Death Trap and 2012’s big musical production of Annie for Powerhouse. Although it is filled with running gags and lots of twists, A Snow White Christmas is also a

Snow White (Judy Rose, above right) and Vince Charming (Paul Lawson) discuss wooing under the watchful eye of the Fairly Good Mother (Roxanne Ricard) in A Snow White Christmas, making its western Canada premiere at Vernon’s Powerhouse Theatre next week. Rose, with Lemiski as Max, below, plot their escape from poverty. story of redemption and has the same feel and spirit of other holiday classics such as It’s a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol and The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. “There is a scene in this play reminiscent of Scrooge asking the boy to go fetch him the Christmas goose,” said Mace. “People need to know that this is not the Disney version with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. You will still enjoy it if you know that story, but this is the life of Snow White 30 years after she met Prince Charming. Let’s just say, life didn’t go as planned. She’s been through some hard times.” The show features children in the cast and is family friendly, but also has humour geared towards adults. “Kids will like it a lot. I think adults will love it. It is entertaining and funny and the music will stick with you,” said Mace. Warrack, who has previously been in Vernon to accompany stage actor/director Jeff Hyslop, has composed 12 songs for the production. “I was sent a file of someone
singing the songs and you could tell right away that the music was catchy,” said Mace. Local musician Jim Leonard has recorded the soundtrack on keyboards to accompany the cast in the Powerhouse production. “At one of our rehearsals, Jim leaned over to me and said we have a wonderful cast,” said Mace. Donning the red ribbon in her jet black hair and wearing the blue and yellow silk gown is none other than local jazz chanteuse Judy Rose, who last appeared at Powerhouse as Tzeitel in the 1996 production of Fiddler on the Roof. “She is an extraordinary vocalist,” said Mace. “She’s powerful, but more than that she has a great sense of the music.” Playing Snow’s romantic interest, “Vince” Charming, is Pawl Lawson, who has previously appeared in the Vernon Community Music School’s Glee club productions of Mamma Mia! and Across the Universe “(Charming) has opened a shop across the street from Snow
White’s called Charming Prints, which does art reproductions. He spots Snow White and introduces himself,” said Mace, adding, “Paul is terrific in the role.” Then there are the bad guys, who for some reason have Cockney accents. Played by Powerhouse vet Bob Oldfield, who is originally from Liverpool, and Cliff Lattery, who appeared in Annie along with Oldfield, these two are out to make
a quick buck, said Mace. “They play off each other. Bob is the Hardy of Laurel and Hardy, and Cliff is the sidekick.” Taking on the food deprived nanny of Snow White’s brood is 16-year-old Maxine, or “Max”, who is played by 22-year-old Mica Lemiski. A former musical theatre student with the Vernon Community Music School’s Lights of Broadway, Lemiski has appeared in a number of local productions and recently returned to Vernon after studying at Western University in London, Ont. “She sang Defying Gravity (from the musical Wicked) for me after I requested she sing me a song, and it was incredible,” said Mace, who had Lemiski as a student when he was a teacher at Okanagan Landing Elementary School. New to the Powerhouse stage is Prince George transplant Roxanne Ricard, who takes on the role of the “Fairly” Good Mother, who is working to get her wings and has a faulty wand to boot. “She is absolutely delightful and is a terrific singer with a classical background,” said Mace. Powerhouse volunteer Cara Nunn has come on board to design and build the set. As the production has been staged only once before, Nunn just had one photo of inside the sweat shop to go by, said Mace. “She really went with her own vision and came up with two revolving sets that go from a street scene that is like a snow globe village to the sweat shop to Charming’s store. The audience will get lost in the set. Cara did an amazing job,” said Mace. “When you take all those elements and add the writing, the music and the cast, it really gets you into the Christmas spirit. I encourage people to get their tickets early as word will spread.” Powerhouse Theatre’s A Snow White Christmas opens Wednesday and runs to Dec. 13 at 7:30 (except Sunday and Monday.) Matinees are Dec. 7 and 13 at 2 p.m. All tickets are available at the Ticket Seller. Call 250-549-7469 or order online at www.ticketseller.ca.

Pam Ferens is the guest performer at this year’s Rotary Carol Festival.
Ferry draws on the futuristic melodicism of that band and his own urbane cool to create a carry over from those heady days as he and producer, Rhett Davies, assemble a clean and densely layered group of pulsing songs. If the measure of a musician can be the company he keeps, then Ferry stands in good stead. He’s joined in his groovy quest by Nile Rodgers, Johnny Marr, Flea, Marcus Miller, Steve Jones, Mark Knopfler, Ronnie Spector and more. They must be drawn to Ferry’s sophisticated cool and creative grooves. The title song is evidence that Ferry was ahead of the curve way
back when, as this is a healthy update of his sound. As well as slick and spacey sophisto-funk, Ferry has a fine ear for ballads and a generous respect for cover songs. One of the many he covered in past years was a nicely wrenching version of John Lennon’s Jealous Guy. Here he works out Stephen Sondheim’s Send In the Clowns and Johnny and Mary by Robert Palmer. Both songs lack the propulsion of the rest of Avonmore but balance it out with dreamier textures. Ferry’s Avonmore is an urbane mix of mature lite funk and melodic electronica.
UBCO accepting entries to writing contest Submitted to The Morning Star
Fiction writers are being encouraged to put their creative thinking caps on and get busy. Entries are now being accepted for the Okanagan Short Fiction Contest. The annual contest has been running for 17
years, and is sponsored by UBC Okanagan’s Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies (FCCS), the Central Okanagan Foundation, and the Kelowna Capital News. “This contest is a huge boost to emerging writers in the region,” says UBC creative writing instruc-
tor Mark Giles. “Former winners have gone on to create significant reputations for themselves. The two most recent novels by 2008 winner Ashley Little won BC Book Prizes this year and the 2012 winner, Karen Hofmann, just published her first novel.”

Building up to the battle The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1
NEWS
A
fter defying the government in a public display that destroyed the Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and her friends have spurred a rebellion in the districts. Now the Taylor and Howe government of Panem is cracking down on rebels and has as their spokesperson, their prisoner Peeta (Josh Hutcherson). Katniss lives underground with what is left of Districts 12 and 13, the headquarters of the resistance and residence of their leader, President Coin (Julianne Moore). Katniss agrees to be their Mockingjay, a symbol of the resistance and to be used in propaganda to spur on the rebellion, in return for the rescue and pardon of Peeta, as well as the others. Will Peeta and the others be rescued? Does Peeta really believe what he’s saying on TV? Can the rebellion even make a difference against the powerful government? We say, “Number 3 is the best Hunger Games movie, so far.” HOWE: Now we are getting to the real meat of this story. What they should have done is condensed the first two installments into one. The second film is entirely a rerun of the first film, only slightly better. This would have made the series a trilogy instead and the story would have benefited. By the time we get to the final part, I will have forgotten all about this one and spend the first 15 minutes scratching my

Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) grows into a military leader in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1. head trying to figure out what the hell is going on just like the beginning of this one. TAYLOR: As the film started, I thought the same thing, “Damn, what happened at the end of the last one?” Luckily, within the first 10 or 15 minutes, the characters remind you of what happened last time. The first thing I really liked about Mockingjay - Part 1 is that it is a behind-the-scenes glimpse of an underground rebellion. Sure, it doesn’t answer a lot of questions, like: “Where did they get all this equipment, bombs and airplanes?” But, it does explain a lot about the changing of people’s minds, in order to create a warlike intentionality. The second aspect I liked, which is a major part of why this film works so well, is that our heroine Katniss has been put in a situation she feels passionate about. These emotions come through in Lawrence’s performance. She’s no longer just trying to survive the games, tricking the system into a more viable workaround, Katniss is now a soldier, a leader. She’s

kicking butt and taking names. HOWE: It wasn’t just Lawrence’s performance that was good. There were some other strong roles from Liam Hemsworth, Donald Sutherland, Julianne Moore and the late Philip Seymour Hoffman. The thing that I really liked about this film was the battle scenes and I hope they continue that into the final chapter. It felt like a 16th or 17th century storming of a castle in some of the scenarios and I liked that rather than futuristic planes or machines fighting the battles, as these scenarios are 10 a penny these days. TAYLOR: I agree. I was actually moved several times by this film and considering I was dreading going into it, because I’m tired of these types of films, Mockingjay - Part 1 wins. HOWE: So I guess you are looking forward to Divergent 2: Insurgent then next year? TAYLOR: Arrrrgghhh! –Howe gives The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 4 cans of cat food out of 5. –Taylor gives it 4 old teenagers out of 5.

There is hope for those with PH Getting a diagnosis is difficult, but for people with pulmonary hypertension, improvements in treatment and care has led to longer, healthier lives Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff
When Joan Nemeth could not climb stairs or vacuum her living room without getting out of breath, she knew something was seriously wrong. Diagnosed five years ago with pulmonary hypertension, the Vernon resident was a non-smoker who had always enjoyed good health. “I had no idea what it was, but I was under a doctor’s care and I expected a diagnosis,” she said. “One morning I woke up and I could not make it to the bathroom because I couldn’t catch my breath. I went to the hospital, but was told there was nothing wrong with me and sent home.” After returning to her own physician, Nemeth was referred to a respirologist in Kelowna, who ordered tests that were sent to the lung clinic at Vancouver General Hospital. “Within three days, I was sent there and given three months to live if I didn’t have treatment,” she said. “So I said, ‘OK, now what do we do?’ My daughter was with me at the time to take notes, and she fainted.” Pulmonary hypertension is a disease in which the blood pressure in the arteries in the lungs elevates. This puts pressure on the heart and reduces the amount of oxygen that can reach the tissues of the body. PH is an incurable disease that does not discriminate: it can strike anyone regardless of age, gender or race. The main symptoms are shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling of the feet and ankles and fainting. Without treatment, the average life expectancy with PH is less than three years, yet many patients spend two to three years seeking an accurate diagnosis. PH can develop due to another medical condition, but in many cases, it has no known cause. Since 1997, seven PH-specific treatments have been approved in Canada, with several others likely available shortly. Thanks to these treatments, many patients live longer
and healthier lives. After an echocardiogram confirmed that she had PH, Nemeth was put on a course of treatment, and the standard is an unusual one: Viagra, taken three times a day. “I felt better right away and I even went to England and felt wonderful while I was there.” For Doreen Millar, health issues were not something unfamiliar, as she was born with a hole in her heart, which was repaired when she was 23. “But I had been fine up til then. It came on gradually and one day I could not walk even half a block,” she said. “Because of my cardiac issues, I was being seen all along by my doctor.” Her breathing problems became so severe, she was on oxygen all day long and was put on the transplant list. Fortunately, a meeting with respirologist Dr. Robert Levy changed the direction her life and health would take. Levy is the medical director of the BC Lung Transplant Program and associate director of the Pulmonary Hypertension Program at Vancouver General Hospital. “He said he could help me and I got in on a drug study, although it did not work out for me, but then I was put on Viagra and it took awhile before I felt better.” For five years, Millar was on oxygen and during that time underwent her second cardiac ablation, a procedure that can correct heart rhythm problems. Thanks to her treatment, Millar is now able to enjoy her daily walks — the only time she now uses oxygen. “And yoga has been awesome and has really helped with my breathing,” she said. “I used to cross-country ski and cycle and now I walk 40 minutes a day and do yoga. My only regret is that I never got to ski with my grandchildren.” Nemeth said she was given an excellent piece of advice: to stop and smell the coffee. “So if I’m out for a walk, I take frequent stops to enjoy my surroundings and to ensure I don’t get out of breath,” she said. She put that advice to good use recently when she travelled with her granddaughter to Ontario on an ancestry tour. “We walked all over Gatineau, then Ottawa and up Parliament Hill,” she said. Betty Ross is a retired nurse and a board member with the B.C. Pulmonary Hypertension Society who was charge nurse specialist in respiratory sciences at VGH.

November is Pulmonary Hypertension Awareness Month, and members of the B.C. Pulmonary Hypertension Society man the information booth at Walmart: retired nurse and board member Betty Ross (left), and women with PH Joan Nemeth, Doreen Millar and Marilyn Lane. “One of our mandates was to get some support groups going, so I wrote a letter to give to the girls at the clinic to hand out to patients,” said Ross, who is based in Kelowna. She said PH is sometimes referred to as an invisible health problem, as people who have it often do not look ill. “Getting a diagnosis is tough because people walk in and say they can’t do housework or go shopping and doctors just think there is nothing wrong with them, that it’s stress, so they are given a prescription for Valium and sent home,” she said. Retired as secretary with the Vernon School District, Millar said even close acquaintances might not actually believe you are very sick. And Nemeth said although she has the disabled sticker on her truck, people often assume she’s not ill and should not be parking in the reserved spot. But she doesn’t let it prevent her from doing the things she loves, one of which is working at Walmart. “Before I was diagnosed, I would be walking from one end of the store to the other when I was customer service manager and when I was diagnosed, my doctors said if you have to work, don’t work two days in a row. “My boss was great and said I could be a
greeter, sitting in a chair. Now, I just do whatever they need me to do. I can do anything.” Both women are grateful for the support they get from family: Nemeth from her daughter and granddaughter, with whom she lives. And Millar her husband, daughter and friends. “My husband is amazing, he’s a great guy. And I’ve been so fortunate with the medical community as well,” said Millar, who in addition to seeing her GP on a regular basis also checks in at the Pacific Adult Congenital Heart Disease (PACH) Clinic in the Heart Centre at St. Paul’s Hospital. All are hoping to increase the awareness of PH in the community, a difficult task for what is a rare disease. “I want family physicians to think beyond the lungs because often they will say, ‘oh you have asthma,’” said Nemeth. “And with this disease, it’s so important to not be alone. When I couldn’t get a diagnosis, it was awful. “But there is no magic bullet — you try everything to see what works, and you have to have a doctor who pushes for you to get tested and to get treatment.” For more information on PH and for local support groups, please contact Ross at 250-861-1961or e-mail Br.20@shaw.ca

Jesus Christ. He crucified self and his body was nailed to the cross; he was the king but had no pomp; his crown was of thorns; he was rich as heir of all things, but had not where to lay his head; he had angels at command, but suffered cruel and brutal men to mock and deride him; he had all power but felt hunger and weariness; he healed men and women; but felt weariness and weakness himself; he was the lord of glory but he took a towel as a slave washed the disciples feet.

Sons celebrate the patron saint of Scotland For The Morning Star
Saturday is the day set for the Sons of Scotland, Kildonnan Camp’s annual St. Andrew’s Night celebration at the Schubert Centre with food and dancing. It was in the mid 10th century that Saint Andrew was named the patron saint of Scotland. Legend tells us his relics were brought to the modern town of
St. Andrews from Constantinople, now Istanbul. The Declaration of Arbroath in 1320 is seen by many as the founding document of the Scottish nation and cites Scotland’s conversion to Christianity by St Andrew. Tartan Day, April 6, is in recognition of this important declaration. It is fitting that tomorrow’s celebration of
St. Andrew is used by The Sons of Scotland to support the Scottish arts. This is the group’s only fundraising event, with money raised set aside for bursaries promoting the Scottish arts of highland dancing, bagpipe and drumming. This year, bursaries were given to six youth to attend the Piping Hot Summer Drummer camp at Silver Star. Failte oirb!
Coldstream boy takes top honours in art contest Morning Star Staff
Hundreds of children got out their crayons and pencils to show what the forest means to them. The Association of BC Forest Professionals (ABCFP) and the Truck Loggers Association (TLA) were thrilled with the creative pictures entered in their art contest. Nine children (three in each of three age groups) emerged as winners of the National Forest Week contest held by these two organizations.
Seven-year-old Leif Richter of Coldstream was one of two honourable mentions in the six to eight-year-old category with a fourpart picture that shows everything from mountain biking and harvesting trees to a waterfall and animals living in the forest. The art contest, now in its seventh year, is launched during National Forest Week as a way to help children learn about and celebrate the forests. “We love seeing the
children’s pictures,” says Brenda Martin, director of communications for the TLA. “The kids have such a unique view of the forests.” Amanda Brittain,
director of communications for the ABCFP, concurs: “This year’s winners include children who saw the forest as places for their parents to work; somewhere
for them to play; and as homes for wildlife.” Visit the ABCFP or TLA websites to view the winning entries: www.abcfp.ca and www.tla.ca.

Cayenne goes back to the future By Zack Spencer
Looks
When the second generation Cayenne came out in 2011 it was a departure from the previous model. As head of design for the current Cayenne, Ingo Scheinhuette, told me: “Even though the new model was larger than the original, many people thought it looked smaller.” In an effort to make the new 2015 facelift look more masculine, the goal was to make the Cayenne look more planted and wider. To do this, the entire front end, including the front bumper, grille, headlights, and front fenders have a more polished look. The daytime running lights have four LED marker lights that are also mimicked in the tail lamps, plus bi-xenon lamps are now standard. The front air intakes are wider and the hood looks more integrated into the design. Around the back, the rear window spoiler, hatch, bumper and exhaust tips are all new. The lights are more sculpted, the bumper has been raised and widened and the exhaust tips now pop through the lower valance. If the goal was to make the Cayenne more masculine, mission accomplished.
Inside
What hasn’t changed, thankfully, is the interior. Three minor changes include a three-point sports steering wheel as standard equipment across the entire Cayenne line that includes paddle shifters and heat. The other changes include standard navigation and a slightly more sculpted rear seat. The rest of the interior is pure automotive perfection. The level of fit and finish has yet to be surpassed in this class and the logical multi-button layout looks intimidating at first but is easy to master after a few days. What Porsche has done in the industry is move the needle on what is expected in premium products. In many ways, the competition looks frumpy and rather dated, even after four years on

an extra 20hp but saves fuel. This is the same engine that is used in the smaller Porsche Macan Turbo. Accelerating up through the mountains was a snap but the sound from the engine and interior vibration isn’t as smooth as the old V8. The second new drive system is the plug-in SE-Hybrid that can run on pure electric power up to 30kms before the supercharged Audi-derived 3.0L gasoline V6 kicks in. This model can run on the 95hp electric motor alone, for greatest efficiency, or the electric motor can be used for additional punch for spirited moves. The combined output is 416hp and 435 lb.-ft. of torque. This is the

very first plug-in hybrid in this class of vehicle. Last year the Porsche Panamera sedan came equipped with this system and accounted for roughly 11 percent of overall sales but that was a rear wheel drive only car, this Cayenne is all wheel drive, which should appeal to more buyers.
Verdict
The greatest challenge for the SE-Hybrid is the already practical and thrifty diesel Cayenne that delivers nearly as much torque and fantastic economy. Nothing can compete with pure electric driving for carbon reduction but it comes at a cost. The SE-Hybrid starts at $86,800 and the Diesel starts at $71,330, which leaves a ton of extra cash left over for those costly Porsche options. The new turbo V6 equipped Cayenne S now starts at $83,700, which poses a problem for buyers of the $82,200 Macan Turbo. Both start at roughly the same price but the Cayenne comes with boatloads more interior space, 20 more horsepower and the same Porsche crest on the hood. The smart money is on the Cayenne over the rather cramped Macan, there is actually room for the family dog in the back. More than ten years have passed since the first Sea to Sky highway Cayenne introduction and it is still the handling and performance mid-size champ. Now with more features, a sumptuous cabin and efficient power to spare. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

In 2003, Porsche Cars North America shipped a number of its shiny, new, Porsche Cayenne SUVs from head office in Atlanta to drive the Sea to Sky highway here in BC. The day started with a long explanation as to why the famed sports car maker was getting into the SUV game. History often repeats and here again in 2014, Porsche shipped roughly fifty new Cayenne S and SE Hybrids to the same scenic highway. This time around there was no explanation as to why this second-generation model exists: the Cayenne currently accounts for roughly fifty present of all Porsche sales.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder THE OTHER MAGAZINE FROM DOWN UNDER Australian Bridge (a u s t r a li a n b r i d g e.c o m) changed owners earlier this year. It is now published and edited by Brad Coles. Appearing bimonthly, it contains the typical tournament reports, bidding hands to practice with your partner, and a bidding panel on which experts answer five questions. But it also has a higher percentage of instructional material than most magazines. This deal was provided by Danny Roth from England. How should South plan the play in six spades after West leads the heart queen? North’s jump to five spades was slam-invitational. In the United States, North (if
employing transfer bids and Smolen) would have rebid an artificial four hearts to send the same message. This has the advantages that the partnership can stop in game and that the opener can use some form of Blackwood. (And after two no-trump three clubs - three hearts, three spades invites a slam in hearts.) South starts with only 10 tricks: four spades, two hearts, three diamonds and one club. The best line is to take two club ruffs in the South hand to get the spadetrick total up to six. Here, with spades 3-2, it does not matter where declarer wins the first trick, but just in case trumps are 4-1, he should take it with his heart king and lead the club
king. Suppose that East wins with his ace and returns a heart. South takes that with dummy’s ace, cashes the club queen, ruffs a club high, leads the spade four to dummy’s eight, ruffs the last club, overtakes his remaining spade with dummy’s ace, draws trumps and claims.
