Council ready to get to work RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

It’s been Local Government 101. Vernon’s new council members took part in orientation sessions Thursday and Friday so they are familiar with the inner workings of the organization. “I learned a lot the first day,” said Akbal Mund, mayor-elect, Friday morning. As part of the orientation, council has met with the city lawyer and representatives from various departments, as well as toured city facilities. Akbal Mund “You don’t really understand how many people are involved in running the city,” said Mund. “Every department head has their challenges and our job as a council is to work with them.” This was the first time that Mund had got together with his council, which consists of four incumbents

and two newcomers. “We’ve got great talent there,” said Mund. New to council are Scott Anderson and Dalvir Nahal. “It’s been very interesting,” said Anderson of the orientation sessions. “The process has been very helpful as it gives me some first-hand information to pass on to the public.” Brian Quiring, an incumbent councillor, says the orientation sessions have provided an opportunity for council to come together as a team. “This is going to be a good council,” he said, adding the newcomers have a learning curve when it comes to understanding how the city works. “Scott has been around politics for a long time and he is comfortable with it, and Dalvir is up to the task. She’s a real go-getter,” he said. “Akbal is very positive and he clearly will be able to lead council.” The other incumbent councillors are Juliette Cunningham, Catherine Lord and Bob Spiers. The new council will be sworn in to office during the inaugural council meeting Monday at 7 p.m. at city hall.

Action is being stepped up to protest a logging road in the hills above Cherryville. On Wednesday, community representatives consulted with Vancouver-based West Coast Environmental Law to discuss B.C. Timber Sales’ construction of a logging road on Cherry Ridge. “He is going to write letters to the Ministry of Forests to have the geotechnical and the compliance and enforcement reports on the slide of April 25, 2012,” Hank Cameron said Hank Cameron, who is the new regional district director for Cherryville. “We’ve been asking for that information and it’s been refused.” Residents are concerned the logging road and future logging could trigger a slide, similar to the one that impacted three properties in 2012. The community has also posted a watch on the North Fork Road. “They are looking to see the (construction) equipment coming and going,” said Cameron. However, there are no plans for residents to physically block the construction crew from entering the site, something that occurred last month. “It’s certainly been discussed and some people are keen to do that,” said Cameron. “But as a group, we don’t want to tell people to do something illegal that leads them to jail.” Cameron and others in Cherryville are monitoring the protests over a pipeline in Burnaby. While several people have been arrested in the Lower Mainland,

a judge Thursday denied Kinder Morgan’s bid to extend an injunction to prevent protests. The judge also ruled that civil contempt charges should be dropped against those arrested because of uncertainty over the size of the injunction zone. Cherryville residents are also considering legal action to stop BCTS on Cherry Ridge. “Court has certainly been discussed but it’s an expensive process. We’re volunteers and we don’t have funding,” said Cameron. The Ministry of Forests defends the actions of BCTS in Cherryville. “Why not delay road construction so the community can fund a watershed assessment and concerns about potential slides can be alleviated? “BCTS has completed thirdparty professional assessments on terrain stability and hydrology, and have had the road professionally designed. BCTS is satisfied that these plans are appropriate to address all of the values,” states the ministry. “If the community is unsatisfied and wants to complete other assessments to evaluate their own interests, then they can do those assessments. BCTS will evaluate all professional information provided as BCTS has indicated to the community on many occasions.”

Shipmaker wraps up political career richard rolke Morning Star Staff

The hippy’s done pretty good. Earl Shipmaker first entered local politics in 1975 with hair down to his shoulders, and his presence initially made waves among the establishment at the Regional District of North Okanagan. “Pat Duke (thenLumby mayor) couldn’t tolerate liberals but after I started operating, people forgot my appearance,” said Shipmaker, who now has short, grey hair and is retiring from elected office. At the time in the mid-1970s, the 26-yearold Shipmaker was a social worker for the Splatsin and he decided to run for director for rural Enderby (Area F). “I had always been fascinated with politics and the best way to get information was to run,” he said. With the help of some friends, a campaign was launched. “We knocked on doors. I lost Grindrod but I won every other

Earl Shipmaker, then and now.

poll,” he said RDNO was dominated by legendary politicians, including Duke and Coldstream’s Russ Postill. But the new kid ultimately found his stride and made his presence known around the table. Shipmaker went on to serve as board chaiperson for 14 years, but in 1999, he lost his rural Enderby seat to Jean Tuominen. “She beat me at my own game. She went out into the community and worked hard (campaigning),” he said. Shipmaker spent the next three years focused on his career as a financial advisor. But in 2002, the appeal of public service was too hard to ignore and he ran for

Enderby council. He held that position for 12 years until deciding not to seek re-election Nov. 15. “I had a wonderful last term,” said Shipmaker. “We had an excellent functioning council and it was pretty hard to justify they needed me.” While pleased with the direction Enderby has taken, he says RDNO has changed. “They compartmentalized it. There isn’t so much a whole now,” he said of stand-alone committees focused on Greater Vernon and the rural areas. “When I was there, there were examples of people putting the region above their own self-interest and that doesn’t happen much anymore.” With his elected duties ending, Shipmaker will now help residents in need become more sustainable while providing advice to cultural organizations seeking grants. Shipmaker admits a life without politics will be an adjustment. “I will miss the social interaction with people. I met people I wouldn’t normally get to meet,” he said.

Morning Star Staff

Betka Yacovelli has two children at Beairsto school and is one of three parents on the new sub-committee. She got involved because of changes to the Middleton Mountain bus stops. “Our main reason was that the transportation department completely cancelled our bus on Middleton,” she said. “Because there are kids all over Middleton, it would stop on Mount Grady, Mount Beaven and other stops, drop high school kids off at VSS and continue on to Beairsto,” she said. Yacovelli said the changes to busing could have been handled better by the district, but since she and other parents voiced their concerns to the transportation department, and to Rogers, some improvements have been made.

When the stop was moved to Kosmino Road, parents felt it was unsafe for their children to have to cross busy Middleton Way to get there. The stop has now been moved to Middleton Way and 11th Avenue, on the residential side, which means kids don’t have to cross the busy street. “I had a map made up, collected all the parents’ names and addresses and took it to Joe Rogers, and they changed it. “It works pretty well for most of the parents; some still have to drive, but it’s better now for safety.” Yakovelli said she believes many parents would be willing to pay a fee for busing in order to keep their children safe and to ensure busing continues in the district. “If that’s what it

Oyama intersection turns into four-way stop richard rolKe Morning Star Staff

A traffic change is being welcomed in Oyama. The Ministry of Transportation has taken the intersection of Oyama Road and Pelmewash Parkway from a two-way stop to a four-way stop. “There were numerous letters to the ministry from residents and there was a motion from district council about wanting a four-way stop,” said Owen Dickie, a Lake Country councillor. When the new upper-level Highway 97 was opened last year, the intersection of the old highway (Pelmewash Parkway) and Oyama Road became a four-way stop. But in August 2014, the ministry turned it into a two-way stop, with Pelmewash Parkway turning into a throughway. “There were concerns with pedestrians being able to cross the road,” said Dickie. “A majority of the students at the school live on

takes, and it is a decent amount, I think that is reasonable.” Yakovelli also suggests that parents get in touch with their school PACs to express their concerns and to be kept informed.

A man who disguised himself and used a knife to rob an Enderby business in 2012 will remain in jail. Justice Donegan sentenced Donny Glen Neigum, 42, in Kamloops Supreme Court to three years in prison for robbing the Enderby Liquor Store at knifepoint in the late evening hours of Dec. 29, 2012. Neigum received 40 months in jail for count one, armed robbery, and two years for count two, to be served concurrently, for having his face masked with intent to committ an indictable offence. He was given credit for four months time served. Donegan said the purpose of the robbery was to obtain money to help feed Neigum’s drug addiction. “In (committing the robbery), he brandished a knife, pushing the dull end of that knife into the victim’s (store employee) body,” said Donegan. “In perpetrating this robbery, Mr. Neigum had his face covered with a scarf and pulled his hoodie down low, so that the only exposed portion of his face was his eyes.” Neigum stole money and cigarettes. The employee gave a victim impact statement stating how the incident has left a negative impact

on her life. “Sometimes I experience an attack (panic) that will last hours,” wrote the employee. “My heart pounds and beats very fast and I feel like I am having a heart attack. “I have no control over the attack and just let it take its course.” Court heard how Neigum is an experienced and highly sought after floor and carpet layer, but, upon his release from prison, he will likely not return to the Enderby area due to “negative influences in the community” he wishes to avoid. Neigum has had a drug problem for 15 years and has a prior criminal record that includes 11 convictions for break-and-enter and seven convictions for theft. Crown counsel had sought a prison term of three-to-five years while defence argued for 28 months less time served. “Mr. Neigum used a high level of violence on a vulnerable victim,” said Donegan. “However, I do not lose sight of rehabilitation and do give it some emphasis. “Mr. Neigum does have support. He does have a plan and it cannot be said that his prospects of rehabilitation are minimal. He does have prospects.”

Canada’s Smartest Person has a significant North Okanagan connection. Braden Lauer, 22, a law student at UBC in Vancouver, was crowned the first Canada’s Smartest Person on the hit CBCTV show’s season finale Sunday. Lauer’s parents, Ed and Diane, and younger brother, Bryce, live in Coldstream. “We are incredibly proud, absolutely,” said Diane. “His older sister and brother in St. Albert (Alberta) are behind him 110 per cent, saying ‘way to go, bro,’ and they along with Bryce have been telling everybody.” The third of four Lauer children, Braden beat out seven other finalists for the title, which comes solely with bragging rights and three hours of exposure on CBC-TV. Canada’s Smartest Person ran for eight weeks with four hopefuls battling it out each week in front of a live audience in six categories of ‘smarts’: musical, physical, social, logical, visual and linguistic. Lauer was on the eighth and final regular season one-hour show, competing against Canadian Olympic swimmer Brent Hayden and two others. He fell behind in the show, rallied to get into a tiebreaker, then earned his spot in the two-hour

Braden Lauer, 22, whose parents, Ed and Diane, and younger brother, Bryce, live in Coldstream, was crowned CBC-TV’s first Canada’s Smartest Person. finale by blowing away the field in the show’s Gauntlet competition. In the finale, he faced off against an orthopedic surgeon, MBA candidate, editor/ journalist, firefigher, fighter pilot, copywriter and a fellow British Columbian, a North Vancouver poet. An online poll gave Lauer a 14.46 per cent chance of winning the title, third highest among the contestants. The show was taped in Toronto over the summer and Lauer was sworn to a code of silence. He did, however, let it slip to mom and dad a few days before Sunday that the show might have a happy ending. “Oh my God, it was the hardest thing we’ve ever had to do,” laughed Diane. “We didn’t tell the kids, we didn’t tell

my parents, we didn’t tell anybody. But it was still crazy exciting to watch the final show, even though we knew what happened. Braden didn’t tell us about any of the challenges (in the finale).” A self-described ‘Einstein meets Sherlock,’ Lauer was born in Cranbrook, moved to Kamloops as his dad – a Kal Tire employee – was transferred, then moved with the family to St. Albert, Alta., where he graduated from high school. He spent some time at the University of Alberta and lived with the family in Coldstream, when Ed was transferred to the North Okanagan, for one year and attended classes at UBC Okanagan. Diane said her son always stated he wanted to be a lawyer or a judge

from the time he was little. “Braden can read something and just know it and it’s with him forever,” she said. “He was the kind of kid who had four books going at one time, played lacrosse up to midget, indoor soccer and rugby, and carried a 4.00 grade point average of the U. of A. “He thrives on being busy with everything and thrives under pressure. Canada’s Smartest Person was the perfect show for him.” Lauer was one of 32 contestants chosen from 6,000 applicants. He received five different scholarships and has never paid a cent for his education, according to his show bio. Lauer is the director of finance for the UBC Law Student’s Society and volunteers at Pro Bono Students Canada, an organization that provides free legal advice for those who can’t afford a lawyer. Lauer is also an avid tarot card reader.

Snow day, and night

s I was digging out from under the heaviest and most unexpected (is it just me or are snow advisories only issued when nothing usually happens, although I do know one degree makes all the difference in the world) snowfall in recent memory Wednesday morning, I suddenly recalled a moment from when my parents were abandoning the family home to move into a condo awhile back. “Anybody want this snowblower?,” asked my father. After contemplating it for a minute or so and perusing it’s rather small stature and electrical cord, I declined. Glenn Mitchell “You know what, I don’t mind shovelling, it’s virtually the only exercise I get,” I proclaimed, kind of implying that snowblowers were for, well, you know, older folks. However none of my brothers took it either so it went to some stranger, who I assume was happily using it on Wednesday morning and secretly smiling away at his or her good fortune. OK. It’s nice to share and be generous with your fellow man but that’s not what I was thinking Wednesday morning. I swear my back literally hurt as soon as I looked out the window and saw a sea of white that I could tell was of the heavy, wet kind, and it was still coming down. Usually my two boys sleep in every day as their college schedules were made up that way (I swear it’s not so much what courses you take as long as you can avoid 8:30 a.m. classes), but the younger one, being the rookie he is, has a couple early mornings, and no car, so I knew he needed a ride so I had some help. But even with the two of us working away at it, and getting outside at least eight minutes

MitChEll’S MuSingS

ahead of our usual schedules, all we could do was clear off the vehicles and make tracks for the cars to get out and get on our way, and we were still late. I also happened to break one snow shovel along the way and wasn’t looking forward to going home at lunch to finish the job, but I also knew if I left it too long it would only get more water-logged and heavier and more painful for my back..... So I headed home at lunch, somewhat reluctantly, drove up the driveway, surveyed the scene, let out a sigh, tried to get that damn red snowblower out of my mind, and started in on what looked like could be two hours of backbreaking work, and I was hungry..... But then I heard something and watched as an older model Honda Prelude travelled up our cul-de-sac and proceeded to do a donut in the unplowed roadway before promptly parking in front of our house. I was saved, so to speak. The older son had come home for lunch, and not a moment too soon. He happily joined me, well fairly happily as he didn’t have to do it himself (which I’m not sure if he would’ve done if I wasn’t there but then again he might have but luckily we don’t have to go there), and we talked hockey and football and the task was done in no time, or at least it seemed that way, my back still hurts today. Later that night I donned my trusty Sorels and cleaned up the roadway entrance a bit, fearing the looming cold spell will freeze our road full of rock-hard, snow-covered stalagmites that will damage our tires come this weekend, and knocked the snow off some heavy-laden branches and figured we had dealt with the situation as well as we could. So who needs a snowblower after all? Well, maybe I’ll get back to you come February on that one but for now we’re doing just fine.

One has to wonder if B.C. Timber Sales has been watching the ongoing protests faced by Kinder Morgan in Burnaby? If it has, then the government agency should clearly recognize the negative publicity that can occur when residents upset over a project are willing to have themselves arrested. It makes for great headlines. Given what is happening in Burnaby, you would think BCTS would want to avoid a similar conflict over its proposed road and logging on Cherry Ridge in Cherryville. “It’s certainly been discussed and some people are keen to do that,” said Hank Cameron, Cherryville’s new regional district director, of residents possibly blocking construction crews. Even if BCTS is completely within its mandate to construct a road and sell timber rights, nothing good can come out of a dispute with the community. It could cost significant dollars if the matter proceeds to court, and certainly hard feelings will be left in Cherryville. With road construction barely started, now is the time for BCTS to back off and enter into dialogue with the community. No one is opposed to logging, but they want assurances that harvesting won’t trigger a slide in the valley below. BCTS should let residents proceed with a watershed assessment and the agency should release reports from a 2012 slide. If BCTS is correct and there is no risk to residents, then those documents should be public. With snow impacting progress of the road and logging not anticipated until next fall, BCTS has time to get involved in constructive and open dialogue. Unfortunately if that doesn’t occur, Cherry Ridge could become another Burnaby Mountain.

A crisis in child care continues

hose attending the library’s Idea Exchange, co-sponsored by the Canadian Federation of University Women, and presented by Sharon Gregson, spokesperson for the Coalition of Child Care Advocates of B.C., and Lynne Reside, North Okanagan Early Years co-ordinator, heard an eye-opening talk on the seriousness of the child care crisis. The mystifying thing is why our governments are slow to react when an economically feasible plan has been formulated and all of the other developing countries are reaping the benefits of supporting early learning and care. It is a most embarrassing position for Canada to be in. Even the UN is pointing a finger at us for not having a plan in place to look after our most vulnerable, that is our children. The Coalition of Child Care Advocates of B.C. is urging the government to support a $10 a day child care plan. That is, parents pay $10 per child a day and the government picks up the costs for A GREAT COMMUNITY For the past six years, we have had the pleasure of putting on a haunted house at our 20th Street home. As a family, Halloween has brought us many great memories and a lot of good times. As you could imagine, it takes a group effort, but it is well worth it after seeing the smiles from both children and adults. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our family, friends, co-workers, neighbours and the Harwood community for showing your support. Thank you to the wonderful woman who donated candy every year, and thank you to the person who dropped off a thoughtful Halloween card with a $25 Tim Hortons gift card in it. Thanks to all of the people who put money in the donation jar, raising $100 for charity this year. The people who supported us played an important role in us

implementing and constructing regulated child care facilities. This would be a cheaper program for child care than the government’s proposed methods. The talk emphasized how critical the first five years of life are for social, intellectual, emotional, and physical development. This is when the foundation is set and, to make a change later, is costly and difficult. These enhancements to growth have proven to last throughout the school years and into later life and studies show that those who experi-

ence quality child care obtain higher job positions in the work force and hence larger salaries and have less run- ins with the penal system. The situation in B.C. is especially critical as we have the highest child poverty rate in Canada, and the cost to parents for child care is second only to paying for a house. The scary thing is that we only have space for 18 per cent of our children in regulated child care. The B.C. government is trying to mollify us by offering 2,000 more child care spaces when we really

need 15,000 more regulated spaces by 2016. When 75 per cent of women with children work, who is going to look after the children during their formative years? Many of the remaining 25 per cent of mothers are not working, either because of exorbitant child care costs or lack of available child care space. Quebec implemented a $7.30 a day plan and they experienced 70,000 more women entering the work force. The government would save money on the higher tax revenues and lower spending primarily associated with increased workforce participation of mothers. For every $1 the government spends on early child care and learning, it gets back $7 in return. Businesses benefit with more motivated workers, less absenteeism, and less turnover and hence, are more productive when their workers have a reliable quality place to take their children. By not adopting the $10 a day plan, it has been calculated by the

continuing this effort over the years. We feel so fortunate to live in a place where there are so many great community events happening all around town and all year round. We have learned that participating in, and supporting, community events and functions such as silent auctions, food bank drives, volunteering and donating is what makes them so successful. Vernon is a beautiful place to live but it’s the people who make it a vibrant, family-oriented community and an awesome place. Thanks for making our last year great. We are excited for Halloween next year, to experience community events with our two girls. Dawn and Sean Chippendale and girls

of Parliament, Colin Mayes. He has said that citizens who are having a difficult time with poverty, hunger and homelessness are local issues. The Harper government tell us that these issues are not their's, but this is the easy way out. Over the past few years, this Harper government has downloaded many issues down the line to municipalities and provinces as they balance the budget on the backs of those who don’t have resources to fight back or voice their opposition. They just say, "not ours." The Canada I have known for more than 70 years has been a caring country that provides reasonable help to its citizens who have fallen on bad times. I realize that homelessness has many causes, but providing reasonable housing to these people is the start many need to find their way out of the cycle.

Another thing that is needed and must be provided is counselling and medical assistance to help those addicted to substances and alcohol. Balancing the budget and reducing taxes is a lofty goal but completely ignores those that need the assistance and can’t obtain it. I believe that homelessness costs all of us far more than any taxes that may be saved. Municipalities in Canada have tremendous pressures for services, downloading and offloading of these services by cutting the amounts provinces receive from the Harper government is not the way to improve Canada. Various charities and nonprofit groups cannot provide these services by themselves. Please think of these issues when we go to the polls in next year’s federal election. Heywood MacDonnell

STATEMENT UPSETS I’m deeply concerned about the remarks made by our member

University of B.C. that the B.C. business community is losing $600 million per year. We have to let our representatives know that we believe in putting more emphasis on universal accessible, quality, affordable child care, learning centres so all children have the same advantage, not just the affluent ones. Care and learning must be married since they are essential to each other. Business should not be running these centres and making a profit. Children are our most valuable resource. They are our future. Society and the economy benefit when they benefit. For more information, go to www.cccabc.bc.ca. Concerned citizens of B.C. should urge the business community and educators at all levels to endorse the $10 a day child care plan as proposed by the Coalition of Child Care Advocates and the Early Childhood Educators of B.C.

It also calls for the development of strong links through contacts between schools, business and residents.

Sewage agreement piped in RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Effluent will keep flowing in Coldstream. On Monday, district council adopted an intermunicipal sewage service bylaw. “It is a good agreement for Coldstream,” said Coun. Pat Cochrane The agreement is between Coldstream and the City of Vernon, which owns and operates the sewage treatment facility. “Access to the treatment plant in Vernon meets our needs for well into the future,” said Cochrane. The new bylaw replaces a 1994 agreement and the process for a new agreement between the two municipalities began in 2010. “We did not have any other options,” said Coun. Gyula Kiss of the new bylaw. “At one time we were looking into developing our own sewage treatment facility. It did not pan out and we still need to have our residents’ sewage treated.”

Girl Guides get a break The Girl Guides won’t pay full price for use of the Coldstream Women’s Institute Hall. District council has decided to charge the Guides $300 to use the hall in 2015. The same fee was charged in 2014. “They are a very worthy group run entirely by volunteers,” said Maria Besso, outgoing councillor. The regular hourly rental rate for a registered non-profit society is $25 per hour. When asked about the subsidized rental rate, Besso said, “I believe it (Guides) is something the community supports.” The Guides have been using the hall for at least 15 years as a meeting place for units. “We are a 100 per cent volunteer organization and every dollar we have is spent on the girls in one form or another,” said the Guides in a letter to council. “It (hall) has seen many a cookie baking night and lots of laughter over the years and we would love to continue to create memories for the girls there.”

Late rally lifts Vipers past Silverbacks ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

It’s a good thing hockey games are 60 minutes long. Down 5-3 in the home of their arch-rival, the Vernon Vipers appeared headed for a dismal B.C. Hockey League road defeat Friday night in Salmon Arm. But spurred by a goaltending change, and an offensive-minded defenceman, the Vipers scored four times in the game’s final five minutes to steal a 7-5 victory over the Silverbacks in front of 990 fans at the Shaw Centre. The Vipers entertained the Trail Smoke Eaters Saturday at Kal Tire Place. “It was good for our guys to battle back and take away a two-goal lead for Salmon Arm in those last five minutes,” said Vipers assistant coach Kevin Kraus, handling the head coaching duties with Mark Ferner away dealing with the death of his brother. “But I don’t think we played very well. Our defensive zone was a bit of a scramble, we were making a bunch of awkward plays. At the end of the day, though, we won. We got two points.” With the teams tied 3-3 after 40 minutes, Taro Hirose broke the deadlock 82 seconds into the final frame on a powerplay for the Silverbacks, who then padded the lead two minutes later on a marker from Ross Heidt. It was then that Kraus made a goaltending change, pulling starter Danny Todosychuk in favour of Jarrod Schamerhorn. “I just felt like we weren’t playing well in front of Danny. I don’t think they were playing hard and were hanging him out to dry, so I felt bad for Danny and made the change,” said Krause. “It kind of sparked our guys, and Jarrod made a couple of nice saves to keep us in it.” With a division defeat looming, defenceman Mitch Meek would score twice at 14:26 on a powerplay and at 16:14 – his sixth and sev-

Vernon Vipers forward Colton McCarthy is pressured by the Silverbacks Chase Priskie as he attempts a wraparound during a game at the Shaw Centre on Friday. The Vipers came back from a two-goal deficit in the third period, scoring four unanswered goals in the final five minutes for a 7-5 decision. enth goals of the year, tops among Vernon blueliners – to tie up the contest. Jagger Williamson popped in the game-winner 1:21 later at 17:35, his third goal of the year, before TJ Dumonceaux sealed the victory with an empty-netter at 19:42. “They turned it over just inside the blueline, Johnny (Coughlin) grabbed it and I knew he was going to shoot so I went to the side goalie,” said Williamson of his gamewinner. “The rebound came right to me and I put it in the open net. “Mitch’s goals were huge. That gave us confidence and got us rolling to a big win and a big two

points.” The victory, combined with a West Kelowna Warriors’ 3-1 loss in Trail Friday, moved the Vipers into sole possession of second place in the Interior Division, and stretched the team’s winning streak to four games. Vernon (15-7-1-2) has 33 points, two more than West Kelowna. The Penticton Vees, 6-0 winners in Langley Friday, are 14 points up on the Vipers at 23-3-0-1. The Silverbacks, losers of five straight, opened the scoring Friday just 48 seconds into the game on a goal by Bryden Marsh. Liam Finlay equalized with his 11th of the year 19 seconds into the

The teams combined for 90 shots, 45 each. “There wasn’t too much defence played by either team,” said Krause. “We can’t be playing that way every night and expect to win hockey games in this division.” SNAKE BITES: Finlay is among 25 BCHL players invited to the Team Canada West selection camp for the 2014 World Junior A Challenge Dec. 14 to 20

Six unanswered goals over the first two periods lifted the league-leading Osoyoos Coyotes to an 8-3 win over the North Okanagan Knights in Kootenay International Junior Hockey League play Friday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. The Knights entertain the Sicamous Eagles in a 3 p.m. matinee today. After Logan Geefs tied the game 1-1 for the Knights on a first-period power play, Osoyoos (23-40-0-1) took the lead for good with eight minutes left in the opening frame, then rattled off five more scores in the second period for a 7-1 cushion. Geefs, with his team-leading 11th, and Jordan Passmore, with his 10th, scored power play markers in the third for North Okanagan (4-21-1-0-2).

Hamilton Tiger-Cat owner Harold Ballard holds the game ball while being interviewed by Steve Armitage of CBC after the 1986 Grey Cup at B.C. Place in Vancouver.

Ti-Cat QB Mike Kerrigan wore a Foster’s Lager hat as he addressed the media. He said they weren’t getting sized for rings after building up a 29-0 lead at the half. “We were fired up as soon as we entered the room, but you can never, never quit against anybody in this league,” said Kerrigan, once cut by Edmonton. “We couldn’t let a 29-0 lead disappear...It was a tough day for Matt Dunigan. Our defence just came to play today. They set it up for us.” Grover Covington sparked the Hamilton defence that day, tossing aside the Eskimo offensive line like they were blocking dummies. “If you can’t get turned on by the Grey Cup, you can’t get turned on,” said Covington. In ‘87, I was in the loud and proud Eskimo locker room, where former Edmonton great Jackie Parker was a guest. I introduced myself and told Parker I was Ralph Wiley’s son-in-law. The two played golf together a lot. He shook my hand and replied, admist the noise, “Glad to meet you Ralph.”

Only Nick Turik can remember the first Grey Cup back on Dec. 4, 1909 when the University of Toronto Varsity Blues bounced the Toronto Parkdale Canoe Club 26-6 in front of 3,807 fans at Rosedale Park. Turik figures the 50-50 pot was $35. And who can forget the Baltimore Stallions, who became the first U.S. team to capture the Grey Cup when Tracy Ham outplayed Doug Flutie and the Stamps in the 1995 championship at Taylor Field in Regina? The CFL has come a long ways since the dog years of the early 1990s when they scheduled an exhibition game in Portland to test that market. They drew 15,000 fans to watch Calgary play Toronto. Portland couldn’t find ownership, but the league welcomed franchises like the Las Vegas Posse, Shreveport Pirates and Sacramento Gold Miners. The CFL was in a dark stretch. Today, we’re back at nine teams and only one with the nickname Riders. And the Grey Cup is still a big deal. Go Ti-Cats.

Silver Star turns to Telemark program ski gear for prospective youth to use for the season. The youth program is meant to introduce all aspects of Telemark skiing, and Landreville will guide skiers through the steps of making Telemark turns and introduce mogul skiing, carving and powder turns. The program is open to all levels. Telemark skiing is the original form of skiing and requires a Telemark-specific binding where the heel is not attached. The lift of the heel through the turn allows for more movement and a true skiing sensation, said Landreville. “Telemark seems to have a mystique that it’s difficult to learn and difficult on the body,” he added. “Recent advancements in gear has made Telemark skiing much easier to learn, much easier on the body, and not nearly as difficult as it is perceived.” For more information on the Youth Telemark Program, visit www.bctelemark.com

Morning Star Staff

The Silver Star Mountain Resort is offering a new challenge for young skiers through its Youth Telemark Program. Coached by World Cup Telemark skier Shane Landreville, the reigning national champion, the program is sanctioned by the B.C. Telemark Ski Association and runs for 10 Sundays starting in the New Year. Following an injury last season, Landreville chose to take a season off from racing in order to coach a youth-specific program. “Telemark skiing offers a lot for both experienced and inexperienced skiers,” said Landreville. “It’s a unique discipline and attractive to young skiers interested in trying something new, looking for a new challenge, or even taking up skiing.” B.C. Telemark and Landreville have worked to create an affordable program at $75 for the 10 sessions to encourage participation. They have gone even further by sourcing

It was the fifth time in five meetings this year Fulton has emerged victorious. “We knew they’d be gunning for us,” said Bedard. “The offence dropped off significantly from the night before (quarterfinal win over Surrey Christian), but the passing and digging from libero Jake O’Quinn, Kody Glinsbockel and the others made a difference.

“Bryn Bedard was still key on the moving the ball around and made some huge digs and serves when we needed it.” The Maroons were losing 24-20 in the fourth but tough serving from Karanmeet Khatra helped the Maroons back into a game they ultimately lost, setting the stage for the fifth and deciding game. “We were down until it was 12-12, then Danny (Aspenlieder) had a huge block,” said Coach Bedard. “Bryn served tough and Nick (Prystupa) had two kills that settled it.

The Panthers lost 25-14, 14-25, 15-11 to the host Ballenas Whalers, rebounded to knock off Vancouver’s Windsor Dukes 25-18, 25-21, then closed out the preliminary round with a 25-20, 23-25, 15-11 loss to the College Heights Cougars of Prince George.

The Winfield Bruins scored six times in the first period and coasted to a 13-2 win over the Vipers in the opening game for both teams. Sean Howard, returning from an injury, scored both goals for Vernon with Lucas Halvorson, Dayton Bryan and Tanner Wright drawing assists.

In their second contest, the Vipers fell behind 5-0 after two periods and dropped a 7-3 decision to the host Kelowna squad. Zach Agar, Wright and Bryan scored in the final frame for the Vipers, assists going to Lincoln Connor, Agar and Bryan. Missing seven regulars, the Vipers called up affiliated players Braydie Allan-Webber, Caedon Bellmann and Jacob Brewer for action Friday.

YOU MUST TRY TO BE FINANCIALLY SELFSUFFICIENT AFTER DIVORCE By Janice Mucalov, LL.B.

Anne and Steve (names changed) were married for 34 years before separating. He was the main family bread-winner. She had worked in a bank for 20 years during the marriage. But she’d been out of the workforce during the last 12 years of their marriage, and going back to work at the bank wasn’t an option. Anne was now 58. She didn’t have a high school diploma, but she’d looked after children before she got married and after her bank job ended she again ran a child care centre out of the house for some time. Steve hadn’t been very supportive of this though, and she stopped caring for children around the time they split. After their marriage ended she didn’t try to get outside work since she’d only qualify for minimum wage-type work that she wouldn’t like. Steve was at one time making $125,000 a year. But his income had recently dropped to $90,000, and his job had become less secure.

The B.C. Court of Appeal considered this case recently. It highlighted that one important objective of our divorce laws is to encourage each former spouse to become economically self-sufficient after their marriage breaks up, to the extent possible. You have to take reasonable steps to contribute to your own financial support. Becoming fully financially self-sufficient may not always be possible due to age, health, limited

• • • •

The court went on to say that, yes, in our free society, you can choose not to take a job which you wouldn’t like and feel doesn’t pay enough. But even if your earning ability may not be great, if you don’t try to contribute to your own self-sufficiency, you have to bear the financial consequences of your own personal choice. The court observed here that Anne received the family home when the marital property was divided up, in part because she said she wanted to run a daycare. But she hadn’t started on that.

education or other reasons. But the Court emphasized you have to make an effort - it’s not fair to put the whole financial burden for your future support on your ex (and this wouldn’t promote the law’s important goal of striving for self-sufficiency after a marriage ends).

Criminal Family General civil litigation Aboriginal law

In these circumstances, the appeal court said that the spousal support Steve had to pay, based on his income and the guidelines commonly applied, should be adjusted downward.

The court made an assessment of what Anne could be expected to earn, either as a part-time employee earning minimum wage or by running a daycare. These earnings were estimated at $1,000 per month ($12,000 per year). The order was therefore adjusted to arrive at a lower amount of spousal support Steve had to pay under the guidelines. The court also said that either Anne or Steve could apply for a review of the court’s decision in six months’time, based on relevant factors. If you and your spouse are separating, consult your lawyer. This column has been written with the assistance of Allan • Francis • Pringle LLP.

riencing similar problems in Vernon and other centres, and its own independent police squad has been handing out violation tickets which carry a significant fine of more than $100. “There was no indication of whether or not they would be lenient at first or not,” said administrator Melinda Stickney, who also met with CN officials, when asked if warnings would be issued to rule breakers. Mayor Chris Pieper said residents may not like the rules but they must be followed for safety purposes, and notes CN Rail is “not fooling” when it comes to fines. “They want registered crossings to be registered crossings and the ones we’ve used for 100 years, I’m sorry, they aren’t registered so stay off them,” said Pieper. “They’re following rules the same way we have to follow the rules. None of us really like it but we have to follow them.” The track supervisor requested the city install a continuous railing on the track side of the Spirit Square building. CN has yet to install trespassing signs at this location but will be doing so “very soon.” CN has also requested the city instal a couple of concrete barriers south of the tracks at Bridge Street to deter people from using the location. This location does have No Trespassing signs erected. Council voted unanimously on a staff recommendation to have the city and North Okanagan Shuswap school board work with CN to raise safety awareness with the public, specifically the dangers associated with walking in the rail corridor and on the rails. They also recommend implementing CN’s requests at Spirit Square and Bridge Street to help deter trespassing, and will budget for new crossing material for the Wood Avenue crossing for 2015.

Boulevard raises concerns ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

A strip of gravel near an Armstrong elementary school is causing safety concerns. The city received a letter from Armstrong Elementary School’s parent advisory council (PAC) expressing their safety concerns about a piece of gravelled boulevard area on Pleasant Valley Road near the school. The area is reported to be used as a parking/ dropping off location by parents and community members. Speed along Pleasant Valley Road is also a safety concern. “This strip of gravel has been in existence since the upgrade of Pleasant Valley Road back in 1995,” wrote Tim Perepolkin, the city’s public works manager, in a letter to council. “It is not posted as a designated parking or drop-off area, and the city does not plow it during the winter.” The city believes the area in question may have been constructed this way to allow for overflow parking during events at the school, and possibly the IPE. AES principal Denise Brown said there are only two safe places for children to be dropped off and picked up, and that gravel strip

is not one of them. “We do not support the city area, along the fence line by the teeter totter playground on Pleasant Valley Road, as a drop zone,” wrote Brown in a school newsletter. “It is unsafe.” Perepolkin told council he observed traffic movements at the site on a November morning, and noted people were dropping children off at the gravel portion. “There appeared to be a good potential for incidents of some sort,” he said. “Therefore I feel the expressed safety concern is valid.” It is assumed that the piece of property is owned by the city, and not the school board, though a formal land survey has not been conducted in some time. Council supported a public works committee recommendation to direct staff to post No Parking and No Drop

Off signage in the subject gravelled boulevard area. Coun. Paul Britton, however, believes that’s not enough. “There has to be a plan put forward by our trustees, take the plan to the (school) board, and to recommend that this is a safety issue and come up with a plan and come up with a capital budget,” said Britton. “To just put up signs, I’m not sure anything will actually get done.” Kelly Rowe, who stepped down from council and successfully won a seat on the North Okanagan Shuswap School District board of trustees, will take the concerns to her new group. “It’s a starting point,” said Rowe. The complaint has been forwarded to Warren Smith, rural programs coordinator for the RCMP Safe Communities Unit, and the local RCMP detachment will be asked to

Ancient practice shared Morning Star Staff

An ancient practice is available today, thanks to volunteers all over the world. In Vernon, Falun Gong — also known as Falun Dafa — is practised every Friday at the People Place at 10 a.m. This traditional self-cultivation practice is said to improve mental and physical well-being by enhancing one’s heart-mind nature (xinxing) through easy-to-learn exercises, meditation and teachings. The practice is based on the universal principles of truthfulness, compassion and forbearance. This ancient practice, originally taught only in private, was first introduced to the public in China in 1992 by Li Hongzhi. It is now practised in more than 100 countries around the world, and classes area always free and organized by local volunteers. “Since then, millions of practitioners worldwide have reported dramatic improvement in health, with enhanced spiritual awareness,” said Harvey Eller, who facilitates the classes in Vernon. Classes are free, and take place Fridays at 10 a.m. at the People Place, 3402-27th Ave. Anti-fatigue standing mats are provided. The Dec. 5 class will practise Exercise Four, Falun Heavenly Circulation. For more information, please see www.falundafa.org

Don and Joyce Wiseman celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary Nov. 7. It was 50 years ago that a handsome young man married a beautiful young lady at St. Joseph’s Church in Langley, B.C. after a quick six-month courtship. They met in nurses training at Riverview Hospital in 1963, married in 1964 and graduated in 1965. After three children, Jay (Lisa), Wendy and Stephanie; three grandchildren, Jordan, Emily and Benjamin; and 34 years of hard work, Don and Joyce achieved freedom 55, and that’s where their real journey began. Retirement has been dividing time between home base in Vernon, beautiful Okanagan Lake at the cabin, the “tinominium” in Arizona and seeing the world. Recently they crossed a safari in Kenya and a riverboat cruise down the Danube and Rhine off their bucket list. They are true partners in life, love and adventure. “Congratulations. We love you!”

ome of us spend a large amount of time and effort trying to avoid thinking of death or dying. I know because I am one of those. They don’t call me “Queen of Denial” for nothing. It runs in my family. When my son Terry, the epitome Pat Black of health and good living, had his very surprising heart attack a while ago, it took two days before he would believe that he actually had had a heart attack and only after we urged his doctor to tell him again, in front of us. So it is somewhat natural to avoid coming to grips with our end and what we would like to see happen, although we know that it is the one life experience we all have in common. We keep putting off the “discussion” with ourselves and others because it makes us focus on the reality of our passing and that is painful. Putting our heads in the sand will not make it go away and I think as I approach the 80-year mark that it is time to look ahead and make some plans. I certainly

Most seniors in B.C. would benefit from as little as 10 minutes of physical activity, three times a day. Physical activity can also improve our mental health, help us manage chronic diseases, and help to prevent illness and disability.

New president at the helm of foundation Morning Star Staff

There is new leadership for an organization that supports the community. The Community Foundation of the North Okanagan has elected Janice Mori as president to succeed Michael Tindall, who has served in the position since 2009. Mori, former Vernon Curling Club manager and past-president of the B.C. Ladies Curling Association Janice Mori has served as a foundation director since 2008 and vicepresident since 2010. Also elected are Herb Wong as vice-president, Calvin Hoy as secretary and treasurer Catherine Lord.

During the annual general meeting, the audited financial statements were presented for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30. Investment returns for the year were 12 per cent, doubling the long-term average target of six per cent. Following policy, 3.5 per cent will be distributed to recipient charities. One per cent will be retained to fund administration. The remaining returns will be reinvested to provide a hedge against inflation and a cushion against years of adverse investment returns. Total assets under investment now stand at $14.6 million. More than $500,000 will be distributed to local charities this year. Of this total, about $90,000 will be available from the Smart and Caring Community Fund. Applications for these funds can be made in early 2015. For information, visit www.cfno.org or call 250542-8655.

Wim Ladan gets ready to set sail on Okanagan Lake, assisted by his “first mate,” son Eric Ladan.

All aboard!

Wim Ladan first met Canadians when his family took in Canadian soldiers after the liberation of Holland in 1945. “It’s the Canadians that entered Holland first to get us free. A lot of them lost their lives. They were all fantastic. We loved them,” he said. Ladan was a flight engineering student then, deliberately failing his exams because he knew he would be sent to work in Germany when he graduated. He was terrified after seeing friends shot and killed during round-ups of young men for German work camps. “Meeting Canadians and learning more about Canada played a big part in deciding to emigrate. It sounded like a good place,” said Ladan, who came to Montreal in 1957, bringing his wife, Jo, and three children when he had a home ready for them. A fourth child was born in Canada. “Canada has been good to us. The day after I arrived, I had a job with Canadian Aviation Electronics, and within three months I rented a house, bought some furniture and a car and I wanted my family back.” He moved on with the company to research and development, enjoying the challenge. Later, he went to Ottawa to teach

“If somebody told me something was impossible, I always thought it would just take a little longer.” — Wim Ladan

in a government research agency, Canada Centre of Remote Sensing, testing new equipment for aircraft. “If somebody told me something was impossible, I always thought it would just take a little longer. I enjoyed working. I worked until I was 84,” he said. He recalled that when he was doing his last job, at 84, the work was seen by a representative of the European Space Agency, who asked about his paper certification to do such technical work. “I told him I didn’t have papers and he said I would never have had a chance to work in Europe where they want papers for everything. That’s what Canada did for me — gave me a chance — and I worked hard and proved myself. I brought something that was useful but they gave me the opportunity.” While his work was important to him, he

Wim Ladan, who celebrates his 92nd birthday Christmas Day, takes his sailboat out on the lake. feels that it is the family that means the most. “I’m tremendously proud of my children. And my grandchildren. They all do their own thing and find their own way through life. They’re good people. They care about others.” Ladan and Jo moved to the North Okanagan in 2006. Sadly, she passed away last fall. He continues his lifelong hobby, sailing. “I started at 11 in Holland, renting a little boat and watching others and what they are doing and why, and taught myself. I sail in all kinds of weather because I know what can be done with a sail boat. Now, I just like to go on day trips on Okanagan Lake. There are lots of good places where you can moor and

get something to eat if you know where to look. I sail from May to October, depending on the weather,” said Ladan, a member of the Vernon Yacht Club. “It has been a great life. I’m glad I’m here. Life can be hard but on the other hand, life can be lovely, too. I want to stick around for a little bit more.” Ladan, who will be 92 on Christmas Day, has seven grandchildren and three greatgrandchildren, the newest, Tucker, born in July. The family is planning a trip to Holland next summer and he will show them where he grew up and introduce them to Dutch relatives. And, of course, he’s looking forward to getting his sail boat out on the lake in the spring.

over a daylong interruption in her Internet service. She sat with her computer, alone and small, in her drab living room and relayed to the reporter the story of how, for an inconceivable 24 hours, she had been unable to contact any of her 800 Facebook friends. This was not an inconve-

nience for her; it was a wound that left a gaping hole in her life. As I listened to her experience, I was profoundly affected by the story beneath the story, the real one, about loneliness. Why was no one discussing that? Here was an individual who, when severed from her virtual “friends,” did not have a living human being to call upon. That, to me, was news. I tired to imagine a day in the life of an individual with 800 Facebook friends. Alone in cyberspace, logged on to Facebook mining other people’s

lives for the hope buried in inspirational quotes, the vicarious happiness of other’s holidays, families and parties all with the nasty bits of real life (the parts where you are at odds with your family, work at a stressful job, have a mood disorder or are alone) scrubbed out. Or perhaps instead, I’d imagine being someone who preferred to zero in on cyber friends who aren’t shy about their chaotic lives and talk nonstop about painful issues. That might make me feel more together and thus, superior. Regardless of which path I chose, I hope at some point I would take a step back from my virtual life and remember that real friendships, unlike virtual friendships, are not free of commitment. Real friends want me to share with them my presence, my support, my time, my love or just a phone call. A friendship exists because two people have chosen to invest in each other and in the giving, are both rewarded. It is the reciprocity between two individuals that cements the bond of friendship and makes it one of the most rewarding of human experiences. Never before the advent of Facebook could a single human claim to have 800 friends and at the same time, none at all. I am lucky to have a handful of friends and for me, they are everything that I need. When it comes to friendship, if the Internet was down, I would not notice. Along with my family, my friends guarantee that I am never alone.

Identifying joint problems in your dog As your pet ages they can develop mobility issues. Elbows, hips, knees and spine are amongst the most commonly afflicted areas. Dog joint problems are caused by many disorders, most of which manifest itself in a form of dog arthritis. There are definite signs identifying joint pain in your dog. These include stiffness, difficulty standing, and refusal to climb stairs, swelling in the joints or painful to the touch in certain areas. The best way to approach joint pain issues in your dog is to take pre-emptive measures. This is sometimes easier said than done, since genetics and breed disposition do come into play, but there are some steps that can help to reduce the chance of developing joint pain. Number one thing would be to manage their diet and exercise. Maintaining a healthy weight and eating a well-balanced diet goes a long way in maintaining joint health. Be sure to take your dog to see their veterinarian for annual exam. Your veterinarian can see subtle signs that you might not detect, before it becomes a major health issue.

A trip down ‘memory’ lane

really don’t want to get into one of those “I remember when...” stories, but having been around one kind of computer or another for more than half a century now, there are a few tales worth telling for their humourous, if not their technical, content. Like the time in 1964 when I was a research assistant with a Fortran program labouriously keyed in to a thousand or so punched cards. In order to run the program I would hop on my bike and pedal a couple of blocks to the campus computing centre where a cute girl would feed the cards into a big IBM mainframe computer. A few hours later I would

return to the centre to pick up my printed output she had nicely wrapped around the box of cards which I would tuck under my arm and happily ride back to my work place. One day it had been raining quite a bit so the pavement was still wet and, wait for it, the box slipped out of the wrapping and distributed my huge program over several square feet of very wet asphalt.

Nowadays, this could not have occurred with punched cards gone extinct and lots of online or cloud storage available for backup. Back then my only backup would have been a duplicate set of cards and/or a printed list of the Fortran statements. The former I didn’t have, but the latter I did. So the daunting task before me was to gather up the soggy

IBM cards, salvage any reasonably dry and readable, and repunch the remainder from the printout. I was not a happy camper and neither will you be if a computer disaster befalls you and you have not taken a few simple steps to back up valuable content. My boss and later my wife laughed when I described this incident to them, but at the

Wind blows in local legend to Caravan Farm Horses prepare to haul audiences on sleighs through The Contest of the Winds at Caravan Farm Theatre

Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.” It’s an old saying taken from Roman writer Seneca, but holds even more poignancy at Caravan Farm Theatre, currently in preparation for its winter sleigh-ride production. Just as actors and crew arrived at the farm last week to start rehearsals for the show, one of Caravan’s stalwart Clydesdales lay down underneath the branches of a fir tree on the property and died. At 21 years old, Jason went suddenly, but peacefully, due to what was a short-lived illness. A true workhorse, Jason and his teammate, Tom, pulled many sleigh-loads of visitors for the farm’s winter productions. He also appeared in a number of shows, including 2013’s summer production of Head over Heels, where he starred as a pack horse. With that sad end comes a new beginning as the farm goes on with its next winter production, The Contest of the Winds. Based on an Interior Salish legend, the play has been written by Shuswap writer Linz Kenyon, whose previous credits include The IOU Land, produced as a summer show at Caravan. “We have a different tone this year,” said Anita Rochon, Caravan’s interim artistic director who directed last winter’s comedy Little

Horses are being prepped to carry sleigh loads of audience members for Caravan Farm theatre’s winter production of The Contest of the Winds, starting Dec. 11. Brother, Little Sister at Caravan. “This is a big, beautiful epic show. It’s a larger than life winter story. It’s a traditional story from this area. The moral is about finding balance, which is a classic theme for any era.” Directed by Rachel Peake, who has just come off directing the Vancouver Opera premiere of Shane Koyzcan’s Stickboy, Contest of the Winds involves members of the Secwepemc Aboriginal communities, including Splatsin band members in Enderby and the Syilx in the Okanagan. Rosalind Williams from the Splatsin Tsm7aksaltn Teaching Centre and Lynn Phelan, aboriginal support worker with the Vernon school district, have served as both community and cultural liaisons for the play. “On our first day of rehearsal, Rosalind spoke about how the arts is a great way to bridge different cultures,” said Rochon. “They have provided consultation from A to Z. If a

costume has looked too coastal, they have told us what is right for this region. We are following the correct protocol as best as we can.” The Contest of the Winds is narrated by Aunty Joe, played by Renae Morriseau, an actor and musician who starred in the Canadian TV show North of 60 and recently appeared in Runaway Moon Theatre’s summer production of Tuwitames at the Splatsin Tsm7aksaltn Teaching Centre. “The story begins in modern times and then goes back to the ancient world before humans, when the forces of nature and the animal people lived,” said Rochon. It follows Sonny Boy (Alex Twin) and Ava Girl (Reneltta Arluk), who are divided between the traditional and the modern ways of life. Aunty Joe attempts to show them how to respect one another’s ways by telling them the story of the battle between the cold North Wind and the warm South Wind (also

played by Twin and Arluk, respectively), who are at odds with one another and are vying for power. “They are trying to blow one another off each other’s pedestals,” said Rochon. Enter Skokomina Bird (Cheri Maracle), an American dipper who tries to find a balance between the winds. Then there’s Crane (Greg Gale, from Caravan’s 2012 summer production The Notorious Robber Right and His Robber Bride) and Stinkbug (Jason Clift), who join the other woodland creatures, played by local youth from the Splatsin and Okanagan Nations, to frolic on Caravan’s snowy winter fields. “We are excited to work with local youth who get to work with some of the best in Canadian theatre,” said Rochon. Although not a musical, the show does feature original numbers played with drums and other traditional instruments, said Rochon. “Linz wrote a lot of the music and Renae took the music and has added a traditional flavour and the local language to it,” she said. As in most sleigh-ride productions, the set (designed by Caravan veteran Catherine Hahn, who has also designed the costumes) uses the natural setting of the farm to its benefit. “It is set along the forest line with the hill as a backdrop and also on the farmer’s field and the middle of the property,” said Rochon. “We use various locations and build the sleigh ride around that.” Patrons are reminded to dress warmly for when the North Wind blows. The Contest of the Winds runs at Caravan Farm Theatre from Dec. 11 to Jan. 4. Sleighs depart most nights at 4, 6 and 8 p.m. Tickets and information are available at the Ticket Seller, 250-549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.

Kids and adults will dig Fantastic Mr. Fox

With his flaming red hair and sheepish grin, Mr. Fox from Roald Dahl’s short story, Fantastic Mr. Fox, is one sly character. He is also a master thief and is not intimidated by three of the meanest, gluttonous farmers you will ever meat... make that meet.

Mr. Fox risks life and limb (including his tail) to feed his family. And that’s about the gist of the story that is currently on the stage at Armstrong’s Kristin Froneman Asparagus Community Theatre. Directed by Mandy Penner,

As the confident and cocky fox, Gotto has no problem digging into his character as well as to the surface from his fox hole to steal chickens, ducks, turkeys, and cider from his enemies.

Fantastic Mr. Fox is a fantasy adventure for children, but grown ups will like it too.

Canadian novels cross different borders

great story transcends boundaries and speaks to readers no matter where they may live. The following three novels, all by Canadian authors, are almost perfect examples of a talented writer’s ability to focus on the specific to tell a story appeals to readers around the globe. A Fine Balance (1995) by Rohinton Peter Critchley Mistry is a magnificent work by one of the most gifted writers of our time. It is set in India in the mid1970s when Prime Minister Indira Ghandi, in defiance of a court order to resign, declares a state of emergency and imprisons the parliamentary opposition, as well as thousands of teachers, students, trade unionists and journalists.

BOOK TalK

The absorbing tale features a large cast of memorable characters and focuses on four of them – Maneck Kohlah, a naïve college student, who rents a room in the small house of Dina Dalal, a widowed seamstress in her early 40s, and two other boarders: hapless but enterprising tailor Ishvar Darji and his nephew Omprakash, the son of a village untouchable murdered as punishment for crossing caste boundaries. The four ordinary people, faced with overcoming the barriers of class, suspicion and politeness, strive to achieve lives of dignity and meaning amidst the chaos of social anarchy, endemic corruption and bureaucratic inanities. And the author, with great empathy and wit, masterfully weaves a mesmerizing, nuanced tale that is simply unforgettable. Solomon Gursky Was Here (1989) by Mordecai Richler reworks Canadian history to spin a sharply sardonic novel that

skewers the pretensions of the rich, the religious and the greedy. The ribald tale chronicles the fortunes of the mythical Gursky family from patriarch Ephraim, a con man who arrived with a doomed Arctic expedition, through his bootlegger grandsons Bernard, Solomon and Morrie, who created a distillery fortune during Prohibition. And the family’s penchant for larceny, both grand and petty, plays off against upper-crust Canadian and English society, torn between greed and anti-Semitism in equal measure. The narrative of the brilliant novel, hailed as the author’s finest, is pieced together by Moses Berger, the droll, alcoholic biographer of Solomon. Solomon Gursky features an outlandish cast of hilarious characters and is a perfectly irreverent take on all levels of Canadian society. Fall On Your Knees (1996) by AnnMarie MacDonald is a deeply textured novel about the secrets within several gen-

erations of a Canadian family. The setting of the saga shifts back and forth in time and ranges from Cape Breton Island to New York City in the 1920s. The author is remarkably adept at evoking the social milieu and specific details of the two different worlds and the story of the Pieper family, set against a backdrop of racial tension and social change in Canada, showcases the author’s gifts for dialogue, character development and pacing and plotting. It is an entrancing work of emotional depth, both intense and darkly humorous, that explores the repression, guilt and violence that runs like a dark, red thread through generations of the Pipers. It never flags, despite the epic quality of the work, and the story resonates long after the last page is turned. These three titles, as well as other great Canadian novels, are available at your Okanagan Regional Library www.orl.bc.ca.

And there’s lots of digging as Mr. Fox and his better half Mrs. Fox (the lovely Madison Reynolds, who has matching red hair) and their quartet of cunning fox kids (Sarah Holman, Carson Armitage, Joseph Taylor, and Tim Harder), attempt to get away from the farmers.

All this sets up for the second act, when Mr. Fox and family join Badger (Cody Clyburn) in outfoxing the farmers and the Rat (Shaleen Toney), who guards Bean’s cellar, to score the motherlode. The resulting feast, and cider, is shared among the foxes’ fellow diggers – moles, badgers, rabbits and weasels – all played here by

cute kids, and a few adults, in animal costumes, so how can you go wrong? The other thing you can’t help but notice, besides that flaming, red hair, is the set, designed by Maryke Simmonds and her crew. The props and backdrops are wonderfully done, as is the beautifully lit fox that stares down at you

from above the stage. The painting is a creation by renowned set/prop/costume designer Catherine Hahn, who delivered the piece while working over at Caravan Farm Theatre for its upcoming sleigh-ride production. The fox even has an extra swath of red hair to match Gotto’s. Make like a fox, and dig your

way to Armstrong for this fun, family play. Fantastic Mr. Fox continues at Armstrong’s Centennial Theatre this week, Thursday through to Saturday at 7:30 p.m., with a matinee Saturday at 1 p.m. Tickets are available at the Guy Next Door in Armstrong. Call 250-546-0950 to reserve.

The Theory of Everything

oung Stephen Hawking (Eddie Redmayne) is a promising physics student at Cambridge University when he meets the lovely and charming Jane (Felicity Jones.) Despite their differences in tastes, habits and especially faith, the two quickly fall in love. It is around the time of their courtship that Hawking begins to notice a loss of his muscle functions. At first, he writes it off as partying too hard, being a bit clumsy or simply having the shakes, but when his motor functions cause him to have an accident requiring medical care, doctors conclude he has ALS and likely only a couple years to live. Depressed and angry, it is Jane who brings Hawking out of his funk, explaining, “If you’ve only got two years, we had better get to work making the most of it.” They marry and begin a long life together, filled with love, struggle, failure and triumph. The Theory of Everything is the true story of a relationship that continues to this day. This is a film with so many facets to it that I simply had to tell you all about it. It’s not currently showing in a theatre in Vernon, and unfortunately, Mr. Howe was unable to view The Theory of Everything. You too may not be able

to watch it yet, but I’m sure a movie this good won’t be hidden from you for very long. I’ve been interested in both the work and life of Stephen Hawking since he published his first book A Brief History of Time in 1988. This film proves to be an accurate representation of Hawking’s life, as nearly as I can tell, based on his own memoirs and the recently published book by his ex-wife, Jane Hawking. So we get to see the ups and downs, the humour, the pain, even the fact that Hawking is a bit of a jerk. (“Jerk” in the scientific sense.) While accuracy is important, it’s only a small part of what makes this film great. Redmayne (Les Miserables, My Week with Marilyn) gives the performance of his young career, portraying Hawking. At first, as a young man, he looks quite like Austin Powers, with ‘60s shaggy hair and crooked glasses. As Hawking deteriorates, we watch Redmayne transform into the twisted, gri-

Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones are Stephen and Jane Hawking in The Theory of Everything. macing wheelchairbound professor we all know. It is this transformation that is remarkable and I hope that the Academy Awards nominate Redmayne for best actor. Further enhancing his performance is an uncanny ability to somehow manipulate the twinkle in his eye. As Hawking’s paralysis becomes complete, despite having his computer to speak for him, it is the emotion portrayed via his eyes that really made me want to tell you about this film. Here is a man who is

clearly happy, proud, sad, cheeky and lustful. A lesser actor would not have had these traits come across the void ALS creates, at least, without having the computer voice tell you so, which would have likely spoiled the film. Check out The Theory of Everything when you get the chance. It’s interesting, powerful, moving, beautiful and a film that deserves your attention, if only to remind you what makes a film great: the right pieces in the right places.

Bells ring with community singers Morning Star Staff

Strains of beautiful Christmas music can be heard every Wednesday night at Trinity United Church, as the Vernon Community Singers rehearse for their upcoming concert. The 135-voice choir, under the direction of Terry Logan with Marjorie Close, accompanist, promises a diverse program when it brings Welcome, Child of Light to Trinity, Friday, Dec. 12 and Saturday, Dec. 13. “We are enjoying every moment, and the program promises to have something for everyone – classic, contemporary, and of course some hijinks,” said former Singers’ leader and current member Molly Boyd.

Joining the choir will be Logan’s Chantant Youth Ensemble and the Bell Amente Handbell Choir, under the direction of Trudy McGrath. “The finale of the concert features all three groups together, and it is wonderful,” said Boyd. “Come and enjoy this vibrant group, sharing their love of music and fun.” The Vernon Community Singers perform Dec. 12 at 7 p.m. and Dec. 13 at 2 p.m. Trinity United Church is located at 3300 Alexis Park Dr. Tickets are $12, available in advance at the Schubert Centre or from choir members. The choir will also be carolling at Silver Star Village Dec. 20 at 7 p.m.

Hop on the Hayride for Christmas Morning Star Staff

Get the Christmas spirit with the Louisiana Hayride Show when it returns to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Thursday. After five years of successful shows across Western Canada, the cast and crew of the Louisiana Hayride are bringing their special Christmas show that features some of the most popular hits from the Louisiana Hayride as well as seasonal favourites. “Hank Williams will show up and be on his best behaviour, and will sing a couple of his big hits. Always a favourite, Patsy Cline will be there with her signature song, Crazy and one of her favourite Christmas songs, Let It Snow,” said show creator Lori Risling. “Roy Orbison is back with a couple of pretty songs: Pretty Paper and Pretty Woman. Loretta Lynn also promises to make an appearance.” The cast of multitalented musicians include William Brookfield on double keyboard, guitar and vocals, who will perform Christmas songs by Johnny Cash and Jim Reeves as well as his version of Little Drummer Boy. Mike Melnichuk adds standup bass, electric guitar and vocals to Have A Holly Jolly Christmas, White Christmas and It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas. Gil Risling plays electric and acoustic guitar and adds vocals when in char-

acter as Williams and Orbison, while Andrea Anderson, as Cline and Lynn, has been known to bring tears to the eyes with her rendition of How Great Thou Art.

A Louisiana Hayride Christmas is at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Thursday at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at Ticket Seller box office, 250-549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca

Live Well

HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist SUSAN CARRIE

We always wish we had advance warning of a serious illness about to befall us. There is for diabetes. It’s called prediabetes and is a sort of early alert system that says you might be moving toward a full diabetes diagnosis. This can be picked up by certain blood tests ordered by your doctor and if it shows you have prediabetes, lifestyle changes can be made to possibly avoid the disease. People have various reasons for not getting their flu shot each year. They may say it’s not perfect so why bother? Flu vaccines have saved many lives over the years and yes, it isn’t perfect, but with so few side effects it’s worth the effort. We encourage everyone, especially health care workers to get their flu shot this year. Speaking of vaccines, there is a lot of work going on right now to find a vaccine against Parkinson’s Disease. An Austrian company has developed a vaccine that is in very early clinical trials. It has been well tolerated and the results have been positive. Money for the research has been provided by the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. There has been much in the media about taking baby ASA for five to 10 years to reduce your risk of getting bowel, stomach and esophageal cancers. We know we can reduce cancer risk by stopping smoking and losing weight but this ASA method is showing promise. But, do not start taking this drug without your doctor’s approval. It has side effects which can be damaging. Before you take it, talk about it. Good advice to follow with any medication.

Fishers net Rotary award Heliski firm

set to Sparkle

Morning Star Staff

There were plenty of deserving candidates, but in terms of customer service, Fishers Hardware stood above the rest in earning the Kalamalka Rotary Club’s annual Vocational Service Award. The longtime hardware store, run by siblings Larry, Kelly and Leslie Fisher, is renowned for its knowledgeable customer service and small-town friendliness. “Customer service is something that was driven into us by the family,” said Kelly, whose great grandfather Cecil and grandfather Wally Sr. started the company in 1935. “It was a real honour that the Rotary Club would pick us for that. We’ve been in business for a lot of years and to get recognized is real nice.” Fishers, which will celebrate its 80th anniversary next year, began as a secondhand store. When Herb Fisher took over the store in 1956, he enlisted the help of his children Larry, Kelly and Leslie to run their booming little hardware store. Kelly, now 60, would make his way over from West Vernon School to help out in the afternoons. Herb, 85, is still a regular fixture at the shop. “He shows up every day,” said Kelly. Larry is 63 and Leslie, 53. Beth Marks, a former Kal Rotary president and 10-year member, nominated Fishers Hardware. “We’re just so lucky in our growing town to have that standard of service and first-name awareness and hard work,” she said. “I’ve never gone in there when somebody hasn’t almost immediately helped me. They go over and above.”

Morning Star Staff

Kingfisher Heliskiing has teamed up with Sparkling Hill Resort to offer the best of the back country and upscale après ski accommodation. Kingfisher has access to 120,000 acres of alpine and tree-skiing in the Central Monashee Range and Kootenays. “We are so excited to have our guests stay at Sparkling Hill and we can’t wait to show them some of the most amazing skiing terrain in the region,” said Tim Shenkariuk, Kingfisher co-owner. After just one season, Kingfisher outgrew their existing accommodation arrangement, which led to the partnership with Sparkling Hill. The result is exclusive lodging for all multi-day heliskiing guests. After a day of heliskiing in the deep, dry powder of the Monashees, guests can unwind in the rustic Gernots Bar, which will be exclusively reserved for Kingfisher guests. It features a stone hearth fireplace, private outdoor patio and stunning views of Okanagan Lake. Heliskiing guests will also have full access to the 40,000 square-foot Kurspa, which has seven unique steams and saunas and an outdoor infinity pool.

Each year, Kal Rotary’s 88 members submit nominations for the vocational award. Past winners include Paul Nixon of Nixon Wenger and the Sharma family, owners of Vernon’s City Furniture.

“It’s quite an honour,” said Marks, a realtor. “There’s always several recommendations. It’s really a tribute to their profession and to the community.”

Publishing company benefits from fund Morning Star Staff

Lake Country’s Wood Lake Publishing will receive $44,007 from the Canada Book Fund. Kelowna–Lake Country MP Ron Cannan made the announcement on behalf of Shelly Glover, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages. The funding will help Wood Lake Publishing produce and promote Canadian-authored books for all ages tailored to Canada’s religious and spiritual culture. “I am pleased to see the Government of Canada’s support for Wood Lake Publishing, a valued organization in our community that has provided us with more than 200 Canadian literary treasures in three decades of publishing,” said Cannan. Through the $39.1 million Canada Book Fund, Canadian Heritage provides support to approximately 300 Canadian

book publishers and industry organizations every year. The fund’s main objective is to ensure access to a diverse range of Canadian-authored books, both in Canada and abroad. Wood Lake Publishing has more than 200 titles to its credit in more than 30 years of operation. Their publications cover topics including Christianity and biblical studies, children’s books, ecology, ethics, wellness, parenting and leadership. “The funding we receive has continued to make it possible for Wood Lake to publish the work of new and established Canadian authors, illustrators and editors, and to make those works available throughout Canada and much of the world,” said Patricia Berube, company president. “Canada has much talent, and with the help of Canadian Heritage, we are able to do what we can to support and showcase some of these talented Canadians.”

Original Joe’s Restaurant and Bar has launched a new partnership with charitable organization Mealshare. As part of OJ’s community care fund, partial proceeds from a featured item on the winter and summer seasonal menus will go towards Mealshare to purchase a meal for someone in need. Mealshare is a non-profit society that allows people to turn their dining out into helping out. For every Mealshare item purchased, one meal is provided to someone in need. Half of the meals are provided locally through the Breakfast Club of Canada, Calgary Drop-in Centre, Food Bank, Hope Mission, Mission Possible, Our Place Society and Warmland House. The other half are provided in developing countries through Save the Children. “Original Joe’s is incredibly proud to partner with Mealshare,” said Elena Remoundos, marketing manager. “We share a vision of supporting charities that provide help through a well-rounded approach to make a lasting and meaningful difference. Giving back to those who are less fortunate is important to us.” Original Joe’s launched the program in conjunction with its winter warm-up menu. The featured Mealshare menu item will be the miso ramen bowl. “Mealshare is excited to build a deep, longterm partnership with Original Joe’s,” said Jeremy Bryant, co-founder of Mealshare. “This partnership allows us to expand into several new markets and we are truly inspired and motivated by the impact we are going to be able to have together.”

Special To The Morning Star

MALAYSIA - The human skull looking down balefully at me through a wicker framework suspended from the rafters of the Serubah Longhouse in Sarawak is unsettling, but according to our guide, Bong, it embodies a benevolent spirit who protects the community who live here. “They are hospitable towards visitors,” Bong adds, catching my apprehensive upward glance. “So don’t worry!” The practice of decapitating enemies has long vanished in tribal Borneo in the wake of widespread Christianity. Nonetheless, ancient taboos, rituals and a regard for the spirit world remain ingrained in the minds and hearts of the Iban, the Kadazan and other Dyak tribes who live in the jungles of Sabah and Sarawak. “When a warrior brought home the head of his enemy,” says Bong, “it was displayed on a pole while everyone celebrated the victory with feasting and dancing. The shaman would then perform special rituals of appeasement to make sure that the skull’s previous inhabitant had no vengeful hang-ups, and would instead act as a guardian of the longhouse by warding off evil influences.” In keeping with this idea, wicker baskets surrounding the skulls above us have a collection of small offerings to make the spirits happy, and these include a few cigarette butts. Nicotine addiction evidently still persists in the afterlife. I drain the proffered glass of fiery tuak as I raise a toast to the shrunken heads, which have now actually begun to look quite friendly. The tuan rumah, (headman) introduces us to his predecessor, Budit anak Libau now in his mid-to-late 80s. Budit’s skin is like aged brown leather, and his gaunt upper torso is thickly tattooed. The old man, despite his gentle smile and frail appearance today, was a formidable head-hunter in his youth; the tattooed emblems decorating his throat, chest, arms and back are his badges of bravery; the skulls on display at the entrance just above our heads include some of his trophies. The Serubah Longhouse, at Nanga Sampa, lies deep in the jungles of Sarawak. Travelling the rushing waters of the Lemanak River, our dug-out canoes, looked as frail as peanut shells. Dense tropical vegetation, trailing vines and outcrops of roots squeezed the flow into narrow channels, and frilly whirlpools of white water had me grabbing the sides of the canoe. As I stand now at the entrance of the longhouse, the ruai or communal gallery seems to stretch a long, long way to the far end. The slatted wooden floor is perched on stilts and the area below, glimpsed between the planks, boasts a clutch of hens and a vociferously crowing cockerel. The 25 rooms leading off the hallway are

family units which accommodate anywhere from between four to 14 members and while families prepare meals in the privacy of their own rooms and manage their own farmland plots independent of one another, they all get together here on the ruai hallway to socialize, attend council meetings, and celebrate festivals. In this closely knit tribal society, the longhouse functions like a village under one roof and affords security and a comforting sense of unity. As we walk along the vast hallway, women smile or nod as they carry out

their daily chores, a granny flashes us a toothless grin, mothers rock their babies in little bamboo cradles and a small boy, absorbed in whittling a stick, ignores us as he frowns in concentration. We sit cross-legged on the floor, while watching the Ngajat, a traditional Iban dance of welcome. The ancient ex-headman, Budit, reappears this time wearing a slit loincloth, several bead necklaces and a feathered headdress that all but sweeps the ceiling. Moving majestically, arms waving in flowing movements, he advances, retreats, stamps his feet and utters a series of shrill cries (which sound more warlike than welcoming) while brandishing a spear and an octagonal wooden ceremonial shield. A couple of young women wearing coronets as delicate as spun sugar, beaded necklaces trimmed with red pom-poms and aprons of silver coins, take centre stage. They smile and beckon us to join them. We circle the floor in a gleeful performance that owes more to tuak inspired confidence than talent. The time has come to say farewell and we present the tuai rumah with boxes of candies and cookies in appreciation of their Iban hospitality. The kids hop up and down in excited anticipation while the women lay out equal portions for each family on the hallway mats. No doubt the bony, hollow-eyed amicably grinning “guardians” at the entrance to the hallway received their fair share as well. Margaret Deefholts is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

www.vernonmorningstar.com The Rotary Foundation The Rotary Foundation transforms our gifts or donations into projects that change lives both close to home and around the world. As the charitable arm of Rotary, we tap into a global network of Rotarians who invest their time, money, and expertise into our priorities such as eradicating polio and promoting peace. Foundation grants empower Rotarians to approach challenges such as poverty, illiteracy, and malnutrition with sustainable solutions that leave a lasting impact. History of The Rotary Foundation At the 1917 convention, outgoing RI President Arch C. Klumph proposed to set up an endowment “for the purpose of doing good in the world.” Since the ﬁrst donation of $26.50 in 1917, the Foundation has received contributions totalling more

Sunday, November 30, 2014 - The Morning Star B17 than $1 billion. Rotary, along with our partners, has reduced polio cases by 99 percent worldwide since our ﬁrst project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979. We are close to eradicating polio, but we need your help. The Global Polio Eradication Initiative 1985: The PolioPlus program was launched to eradicate polio worldwide after a test program in The Philippines showed as successful. Strong ﬁnancial oversight, a stellar charity rating and a unique funding model mean that we make the very most of your contribution. Give and become a part of Rotary’s lifechanging work! Rotarians have helped immunize more than 2 billion children against polio in 122 countries. For as little as $0.60, a child can be protected against this crippling disease for life. Donate to Rotary and help us eradicate polio, the laming disease.

Silver Star Silver Star Rotary and the Paul Harris Foundation Rotary is a service organization with a focus to responding to needs within our community. Our community commitments are represented through school scholarships, funding meal programs for schools, food bank support, or engaging in foreign student exchange programs. Just to name a few. Rotary also has an international charitable arm which is represented by the Paul Harris Foundation. The Foundation was created through generous donations received from Rotarians through-out the world. Through the Foundation, we are able to access the global network of Rotarians, who contribute time and money to promote peace, provide clean drinking water, support education and fight disease, on the international stage. In addition, the Paul Harris Foundation may be accessed by Rotary Clubs to fund local community efforts. Locally, Silver Star Rotary applied to the Paul Harris Foundation for funds to assist with the completion of Phase I of Vernon Jubilee Hospital. A grant was approved and Paul Harris funds were used to enhance the local Rotaries’ financial commitment to the Tower of Care. The result was the creation of the Rotary Wing at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Internationally, the Paul Harris Foundation initiated the End Polio Project, in 1979, with a goal to deliver a polio free world by 2018. Over the past 35 years Rotary has partnered with other organizations such as UNICEF, US Centre for Disease Control, WHO, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The campaign to end polio hit a milestone on March 27, 2014, when WHO declared that another region was free of polio. That region was South East Asia. There are only three remaining countries yet to be polio free- Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan. We are very close to reaching the goal established 35 years ago. November is Foundation month for Rotarians throughout the world. This month, we will take time to acknowledge our commitment to address the socio-economic needs of those countries in the international community who are struggling for basic survival and we salute Rotarians world-wide who are working for worthy projects such as the eradication of polio and promoting world peace.

ROTARY CLUB OF VERNON’S

11th ANNUAL Kalamalka The Kalamalka Rotary Club Dream Auction It’s difficult to know what caused the hype and generosity and our 2014 “Dream Auction”, but, as reported in the Morning Star last week, this was the premier fund raising event of the year in Vernon. Being our 30th auction was cause for some extra enthusiasm, and the municipal election was also cause for optimism. The endless amounts of volunteer hours by our club members, and the tremendous donations from the community made this a successful event which raised just under $200,000. Check your future editions of the Morning Star to learn how this money is being used to benefit the many local and international projects. Congratulations to this year’s Dream Auction Committee chaired by Neil Perry. This really was a job well done. New Member Sponsor Recognition Program Kal Rotary member Pippa Shaw is our most recent recipient of a silver Level 3 award from Rotary International (RI) for sponsoring new members into our club. RI recognizes that every new member contributes to the difference Rotary can make in our community and throughout the world. Congratulations to Pippa in her pursuit of the gold. End Polio Now In 2014 Rotary International donated US$44.7 million in grants to fight polio in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Our Rotary District 5060, stretching from Revelstoke to Yakima, WA, recognizes those of its 59 clubs which have made significant financial contributions to Rotary’s campaign to cure polio worldwide. Under the leadership of Dustin Stadnyk and Sarah Pruckl, Kal Rotary was one of two clubs in the North Okanagan recognized for their contribution to this cause.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Financial losses will plague you if your records aren’t up-to-date. Revisit financial contracts and agreements in order to ensure that you haven’t overlooked an important detail. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Someone will reach out to you for help. Your other responsibilities will suffer if you don’t make arrangements to ensure that nothing is neglected. Your diligence will be impressive.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Mistakes are likely if you don’t keep your emotions in check. Take time to rationally think matters through before you make a rash move that could be costly. Don’t make a financial commitment.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Be truthful. You can avoid a misunderstanding if you stick to the facts. The more you try to embellish the truth, the worse off you will be. Kids love the photos.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Don’t be too free with your cash. You can make a greater impression with your personality than your wallet. If you have to buy someone’s love, it’s not worth it.

Bridge by Phillip Alder THE REPRINTS COME AT A STEADY PACE Here are three recommended books that were republished this year: “Falsecards” by Mike Lawrence (Master Point Press), and from Weidenfeld & Nicolson in Britain “Sharpen Your Bridge Technique” by Hugh Kelsey (which is subtitled: How to think like an expert) and “The New Complete Book of Bridge” by Albert Dormer and updated by Ron Klinger. This deal fom the Dormer book would trip up many players. South is in four spades. West leads the club nine: two, six, ace. Declarer plays a trump. East wins with his ace and returns the club queen. How should South continue?

Note the auction. On the second round, South, with a balanced hand, was not worth a jump to game. He made a help-suit game-try in his weaker minor. Then North correctly jumped to four spades with that wonderful singleton diamond and a fourth trump. (Yes, South might have rebid two notrump.) When East plays the club six at trick one, declarer should realize that West has led a singleton. So, if, at trick three, South makes the natural play of covering East’s club queen with his king, West will ruff and shift to a heart. Then declarer will lose one spade, one heart, one club and the club ruff. Now suppose that South does not cover the club

queen. If East switches to hearts, South does not concede the club ruff. So East plays a third club. West ruffs and leads a heart, but declarer wins in his hand, plays a trump to dummy, ruffs a club in his hand, cashes the diamond ace, ruffs a diamond in the dummy and discards his heart seven on the high club eight - contract made.

News CARING COMMUNITY

T h e Fa m i l y R e s o u r c e C e n t r e is a not for profit counselling agency that provides services for children, youth, adults, couples and families

Help us build a healthier North Okanagan. A Ta l e o f T h r e e S A M ’s … At the Family Resource Centre, we have a Sexually Abused Males Recovery Program. Most male survivors of sexual abuse will be able to identify with some part of these stories though they are a compilation and do not represent any one person. PHOTO SUBMITTED

Kindale Developmental Association’s Cindy Masters (from left), Alison Campbell, B Elliott and Kevin Campbell accept $5,000 from the RBC Foundation which will help the association launch a new employment readiness pilot project for individuals.

When SAM ONE was a young adult, he was approached by a woman who wanted to become intimate. He didn’t want to and said “no.” She told him that if he didn’t say “yes” she would go to the police and say he raped her. Her girlfriend would tell the same story. He caved in but felt such shame and fear that he quit his job and fled to another province. About 15 years passed. He married and one day told his spouse about what happened. She had been drinking and flipped out, beating him with a frying pan so hard that his arm was broken. At Emergency, the doctor asked what happened but when he told him he was reported and charged with spousal assault. SAM TWO was attending public school and shortly after his parent’s marriage broke up, one of the male teachers took him under his wing. After a 3 month grooming period, he was sexually abused after school while “helping” the teacher. It affected his grades and when he finally told, the response was “you are making this up because you are failing.” Fortunately his mom took him to a different school. Years later, the teacher was charged and then he told his story again to the police and was believed. 30 years later he still feels shame about what happened and blames himself. After work one day SAM THREE and some buddies went to a party where someone slipped a drug into his coffee and when he regained consciousness he realized he had been raped. He went to the hospital for treatment and then to the police. At first the police did not believe him, but he persisted and a report was filed. He was then able to get some counselling. Male survivors of sexual abuse are almost as common as female survivors, but fewer males see their perpetrators prosecuted and convicted. As a counsellor, I’ve never talked to a man who has seen a female predator convicted. Sexual abuse affects every part of a person’s life, regardless of their gender.
