Vander Zalm boosts bid for recall of MLA RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
CORY BIALECKI/MORNING STAR
Bill Vander Zalm speaks to Vernon residents at the Schubert Centre Thursday about the necessity for a recall of the region’s MLA.
Vernon-Monashee voters may soon get a chance to try and remove their MLA from office. Fight HST has signed up about 300 volunteer canvassers for a recall campaign against Eric Foster and the effort could get underway in mid-March. “There’s a strong desire to hold their MLA to account,” said Chris Delaney, the organization’s chief organizer, who made a stop at the Schubert Centre with former premier Bill Vander Zalm Thursday to speak to approximately 100 people. Vander Zalm is confident a recall campaign against Foster and his support for the harmonized sales tax can be successful. “Of all of the places in the province, this is the heart of democracy,” he said. “People are individualists and they want to come out and fight for what they believe is right.” Under legislation, recall campaigns have 60 days to collect signatures from at least 40 per cent of constituents who were eligible to vote in the last election. There are currently 45,206 registered voters in Vernon-Monashee and 18,082 signatures would be required to recall Foster. A recall campaign is currently underway in the Victoria area and more could begin in Kamloops and Comox within the next few days. “MLAs need to start listening to their constituents,” said Vander Zalm. Vander Zalm and Delaney led a successful petition campaign against the HST last year. About 700,000 signatures were obtained from across the province, including more than 12,000 in Vernon-Monashee.
“We have good reason for recall,” said Vander Zalm. “You not only pay the salary of your MLA, you provide a pension. You have every right to say, ‘You have to listen to us.’” A referendum on the HST is scheduled for September, but some Liberal leadership hopefuls have indicated it could be bumped up to this spring if they win the leadership race. “But they don’t need to spend $30 million on a vote (referendum),” said Vander Zalm. “They could have a free, open vote (of MLAs) in the Legislature. If there was an open vote, MLAs wouldn’t dare vote for the HST.” Delaney says current legislation does not require government to accept the results of the referendum, so recalling MLAs is an attempt to influence them. “To force the government to listen to the people, we need to go with recall,” he said. “The power of recall is government must face the people.” Vander Zalm claims government promises that the HST would lead to job creation and retail price decreases have failed. “There is no incentive for a large resource company to hire more people because it gets a tax refund. It will hire more when resource prices go up.” Vander Zalm denies that the anti-HST campaign is politically motivated and he wants to overthrow the Liberals. “Regardless of the political party, if the government gets away with it now, they will do it again and again,” he said. “We never set out to get a premier fired or for a leader of the opposition to quit. Our intent is to get rid of the HST.”
Suspect charged in truck-in-home case ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A year-long investigation into a case of a stolen truck driving into an East Hill home has resulted in a man being charged. On Jan. 31, 2010, Vernon RCMP stopped a pickup in the early morning hours on a routine matter, but the truck fled from the officer. A pursuit was not initiated, and officers then found the vehicle slammed into a home in the 2200 block of 24th Avenue, with two elderly residents asleep inside the home.
The residents were not injured. The driver fled the scene before police arrived and was not located. “On-scene investigation determined that the pickup truck was stolen from a car dealership in Kamloops seven weeks earlier,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The truck was demolished in the crash and repairs to the home exceeded $100,000. Evidence found in the truck, including a four-legged passenger, helped lead police to a suspect.
“There was a dog found in the truck and our officers did follow-up trying to locate the owner of the dog,” said Molendyk. “There were also key pieces of evidence found at the scene. But, because the matter is now before the court, we won’t be releasing many details.” Robert Antonin Andel, a North Okanagan man who was already in custody on an unrelated matter, has been charged with possession of stolen property and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. A court date to face the new charges has not been determined.

Mayor seeks balance between services and taxes “It will come down to whether we can hold it there (zero increase) and provide the same level of service.”
Vernon’s mayor insists that running a municipality is a balancing act. Wayne Lippert expects much of the city’s focus in 2011 will revolve around offering the services residents demand or require while ensuring that the community is a financially sustainable place to live. “The biggest challenge for council will be managing the budget and how we provide services,” he said. “Look at Penticton and the OkanaganSimilkameen regional district and they chopped a bunch of positions. But now they’re scrambling to see how they provide services. It’s one thing to keep taxes to zero or reduce them but how do you provide services?” A recent report from the Canadian Federation of Business claims Vernon’s operating spending growth in 2008 was 2.61 per cent greater than population and inflation growth. However, Lippert says the city has a long tradition of analyzing how it operates, including each department cutting its budget by one per cent and a consultant looking at each division to determine efficiencies. “It makes people aware of what’s going on,” he said. In terms of the 2011 budget, council has provided staff to develop a document that is close to a zero per cent residential tax increase. Lippert believes that goal is realistic. “It will come down to whether we can hold it there and provide the same level of service,” he said.
— Wayne Lippert The city is also looking to bolster the local economy through a variety of measures. Among them is an advisory committee of people who bring a variety of skills to the table. “They have contacts out there and what improves the economy is business people being your best advertisers,” said Lippert. He says a similar approach proved beneficial with social issues like affordable housing, homelessness and crime. “We got people together that had skills and a passion to do things. Huge changes have been made downtown.” Lippert is aware of a couple of investors that are interested in Vernon, and while he won’t get into details, he is hopeful they will set up shop here. “The signs are there that the economy is starting to move again,” he said, adding that another focus for the city is promoting Vernon as a tourist destination. “People still want to come to the Okanagan. We want to keep the message out there that we’re a great place to visit and live.” Beyond internal matters, the city plays a role regionally through the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee and the North Okanagan Regional District. During parts of 2010, Vernon found itself in conflict with its partners over the future of the water and parks

and recreation functions. However, Lippert says the negative aspects
of the relationship have been overplayed. “I believe it will all
get sorted out. The perception is the relationship is strained and that happens, but the reality is all of the services are being provided,” he said. “The discussions over Greater Vernon water have been going on for years but people can still turn on their
taps. There are issues with the parks and recreation review, but the parks are still open and people still go to the beaches.” Lippert is in the midst of his second term in office and he appears ready to seek a third three-year term when voters head to the
polls in November. “As long as I feel that I have something to contribute, I will run again,” he said. “I try to listen to people and their concerns and I think I still have a lot to contribute. I have a three-year contract and it’s up to the residents to renew it.”
USED CARS TO BE $ 00 & UP SOLD AT 77.
A
leading automobile dealer located in Vernon is overstocked with used car inventory and will be selling used cars and trucks for as low as seventy-seven dollars and up this Saturday, January 15, 2011. Rain, Snow or Shine. Vernon Dodge founded this sales event and has had tremendous success with it over the years.
Dana Agar, General Sales Manager for Vernon Dodge Jeep has just announced plans to hold a used car and truck event with used cars and trucks starting at seventy-seven dollars and up this Saturday, January 15, 2011. According to Dana Agar, sales from the last few months have resulted in an extra amount of used cars, trucks and lease returns. “In the last few months we have increased sales at a tremendous rate. Now we need to reduce the number of cars and trucks in our used car inventory. During this seventy-seven dollar sale every used car and truck will be sold for hundreds to thousands below the original price.” Agar said, “Our customers should find these prices as low as auction prices in many cases.” Here, every used car and truck is on sale. FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE AND NO BIDDING. It’s the perfect opportunity to get a good quality used car at the lowest price possible, including cars for only seventyseven dollars. All cars and trucks will be on
display at 4607 27th Street, Vernon, BC at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 15, 2011. All vehicles will be opened so that buyers may inspect the vehicles for one hour before the sale begins at 9:00 a.m. Whoever is sitting behind the wheel at 9:00 a.m. when the prices are SLASHED on the windshield will be given first opportunity to purchase the vehicle at the SLASHED sale price. This innovative approach to selling used vehicles will make it easy and quick for anybody in the market for a good used car or truck at a very low price with no hassle. “We have 3 business managers who will help buyers arrange low-cost financing, as well as bank representatives that will be present. We’ve got over 2 million dollars in used inventory to choose from. Our total inventory will be over 400 cars and trucks. We want to remind everybody that this is a one-day sale only. When our inventory has been reduced, we will remove the sale prices and return to normal operations. Since we are a local business, we would like to give back to the community,” Agar said. We would rather allow local people to buy these vehicles than wholesale them at an auction.” Any questions can be directed to (250) 545-2261. Vernon Dodge Jeep opens at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 15, 2011, and the sale starts at 9:00 a.m. SHARP! Buyers must be 18 or older with valid driver’s license. DLR #5204

News ACCIDENT RESPONSE
CORY BIALECKI/ MORNING STAR
RCMP, B.C. Ambulance and members of the BX/ Swan Lake and Vernon fire halls attend a twovehicle accident Thursday morning near Swan Lake Fruit and Garden Centre on Highway 97. Two people in a southbound Chevy Cavalier had to be extracted from the vehicle, and were taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital with non-lifethreatening injuries. Charges are pending in the accident.
Cold case inquiry could cost $100,000 RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The RCMP want to reopen an old serious crime file but it could be a costly process. It was revealed during Vernon council’s budget meeting Wednesday that the RCMP want $100,000 for exceptional expenses for an investigation into a suspicious death. “There is the potential for us to follow through on a significant cold case,� said Supt. Reg Burgess. “We always keep unsolved crimes open for investigation and investigators have given us leads for pursuing.� Burgess would not get into specifics such as the date of the incident. He also would not confirm it as a homicide. Burgess says there is a reason why the detachment is not releasing details about the case.

“We always keep unsolved crimes open for investigation...� — Supt. Reg Burgess “In any cold case, the people involved, if they understand there is increased activity, could disrupt the investigation. They could go underground or they could disappear,� he said. The investigation could require international travel. Funding is being sought for 2011 so the investigation can proceed. “The case has the potential to cost much more than $100,000. There’s a very good possibility we can take it on in-house
for that amount of money,� said Burgess. “The $100,000 allows us to complete the investigation or further it to the point where we need involvement from outside agencies.� The provincial government could share in some of the costs if B.C.’s unsolved homicide unit becomes involved. Coun. Patrick Nicol believes the city needs to find a way to make the funding available for the police. “Someone lost their life and someone wasn’t brought to justice,� he said. “The cold case matter is of vital importance.� Burgess has been asked to present more financial information to council during its budget meeting today. When asked what would happen to the potential investigation if council didn’t approve the $100,000, Burgess said, “If we
don’t get the funds, I expect there will be some public outcry.�

The City of Vernon is perceived to be competing directly with developers. A draft value for money review of the planning and building services department indicates some developers believe they are going head-to-head against the city and its policies. “Hesperia, Vernon’s arm’s length company, was developed to provide affordable housing during prosperous economic times,” states the report from Acton Consulting, which is overseeing the review. “Another source of confusion for developers is the city’s real estate manager. There is uncertainty about the manager’s job which has led to speculation in the community that the city may be in competition with the developers.” The consultant recommends that prior decisions be reconsidered to ensure they reflect current council’s intentions. Mayor Wayne Lippert believes that step is necessary. “A business background says you should always review what you are doing,” he said. Suggestions that the Hesperia housing initiative may compete with developers is fair comment, according to Lippert. “It’s something we’ve heard and something we’re addressing,” he said. However, Lippert insists the goal of Hesperia was to set aside land for a mix of commercial housing and not for the city to actually develop the site. “We have plans and we know what we want to happen there but that’s as far as we should go,” he said, adding that the Okanagan Avenue site could be sold. “Let the developers take over.” In terms of historical council decisions impacting current planning and building processes, the consultant points to the licence and permit fee structure. “The fees are front loaded so applicants pay fees at the onset of applications. This can create additional work if the application is not approved or if there are unanticipated fees later in the process,” states the draft report. The consultant also highlights differences among current council members about Vernon’s future. “The divergence in opinion makes it difficult for council to collectively move toward a unified vision for the city’s future.” Coun. Bob Spiers would not speculate on what previous council decisions may be revisited. “Until we see the final report, it’s too early to say,” he said. The value for money review of the planning and building services department should be completed in February.

Fire service deal now in place ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Thirteen Splats’in First Nation lands containing 13 houses located within the Spallumcheen boundary will now have fire protection this year. The township, City of Armstrong and Splats’in First Nation have agreed to a one-year fire service agreement for 2011. The lands are in the Hullcar, Matheson and Salmon River Road area, and the Armstrong-Spallumcheen Fire Department could not be certain if the fire is on township or reserve land until they are actually on scene. “I really do appreciate we Chris Pieper were able to work an agreement out,” said Splats’in Chief Wayne Christian. “We’re neighbours. We’re not going anywhere, they’re not going anywhere.” The agreement gives the ArmstrongSpallumcheen fire chief sole control of the fire department’s firefighting equipment and personnel, and provides him the authority to deploy or reallocate resources in the event of a fire or fires elsewhere in the township and/or city. Splats’in will pay $1,000 for the agreement plus $100 per household, along with a rate recov-

ery schedule – which is based on existing mutual aid agreements – as a fee for service if the fire department is called out. “It’s something we’ve been working on for a long time and, yes, we’re happy to have the agreement done,” said Armstrong Mayor Chris Pieper. Splats’in needed to have an agreement in place as they apply for funding from the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada. The majority of Splats’in lands are located within Enderby’s boundary, and the First Nation has a mutual aid agreement for fire coverage with the City of Enderby. Armstrong and Spallumcheen have said they will not send their fire department to fires on Okanagan Indian Band land, while Spallumcheen Mayor Will Hansma remains hopeful an agreement with OKIB can be struck. “An agreement doesn’t mean our fire department would fight every fire on Okanagan Indian Band land, but when they are so close and within our boundaries, it’s important to establish an agreement,” said Hansma. “We’ve now got this one with Splats’in. I hope we can work with Armstrong to come to an arrangement with the Okanagan band.” Armstrong, however, has said it is not interested in entering a mutual aid or fee-for-service deal with OKIB.
Unclaimed pay rolled into grants RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Money not spent on politicians will go right back into the community. Unclaimed pay for Vernon council committees will be rolled into the community grants program, which provides assistance to local non-profit agencies. “That means there will be money in there for community groups to access,” said Coun. Bob Spiers. “At least it’s going to charity.” There could be $23,000 available from 2010 but council members still have until the end of January to submit for committee pay. The decision to direct the unspent money on charitable activities was unanimous among council. “If we don’t put it into grants, it will just go into general revenue. I call it the black hole,” said Coun. Jack Gilroy. Gilroy points out that a number of organizations are increasingly seeking funds from the city because more traditional financial resources have disappeared. “The provincial government has put stress on the city by cutting funds to these groups,” he said. Council recently decided to give money to two groups. The Upper Room Mission will get $10,877 for a new dining room floor, while $15,000 will go to the Vernon Art Gallery to help with its financial challenges.
Gilroy believes it’s vital to support charitable efforts in Vernon. “There’s groups out there doing tremendous work and we don’t want to see it end,” he said.

Group wants city to trim budget RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A group of businesspeople and residents is urging the City of Vernon to roll back taxes. Six individuals, who describe themselves as the budget review ad hoc committee, have gone over the city’s 2011 financial plan, and they are not satisfied with council’s goal of a zero per cent tax increase. “A zero increase budget is not sufficient to address the disproportionate operating expenditure growth of the past several years,” states the group in a written submission. “Council must enact a five to 10 per cent reduction in budget in 2011.” The group members include Corky McMechan, Lew Rossner, former councillor Barry Beardsell, Bruce Davies, Sid Hutchinson and Ian Tribes. McMechan attended
“Some of the line items they question never occurred to me to question.” — Bob Spiers the city’s budget meeting Wednesday, and he told council to “sharpen your pencils. Ask the right questions and we’ll be watching.” In its submission, the group calls on council to eliminate some “questionable” line items and to cut salaries for council and non-unionized staff. “The total unionized staff must be reduced: department managers should be directed to re-assess all staffing levels,” it states. “A city-wide directive should be issued to all staff, contractors, consultants and vendors to reduce costs and expenses, with targeted goals and penalties for
not complying.” Among the potential expenditures the group takes issue with is $12,000 for development of administration staff. “At the wage rates in administration, qualified personnel shouldn’t need to be developed.” The budget also earmarks $79,600 for employee recruitment, but the group states, “the city has an excess of staff.” It also recommends that the $60,000 contract with the Social Planing Council be eliminated because social issues are a provincial responsibility. There is also a call to end grants to O’Keefe Ranch.
“It is time that council recognize that the continual increases to the budget that council has approved over the past several years and the subsequent demands on taxation revenue are excessive and unsustainable, and have not been fiscally responsible decisions,” states the group’s submission. Coun. Bob Spiers believes all council members should look at the group’s research. “Some of the line items they question never occurred to me to question,” he said. Coun. Jack Gilroy says council is seeking a balance between finances and meeting public needs. “They are really good questions but we have to keep the city running too,” he said of the group. Mayor Wayne Lippert suggests 2011 may be the time to hold firm on expenses given substantial increases in
Water rate increase would hit hard JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

Serving The Greater Okanagan Area
Concerns continue to flow down the pipeline over a potential spike in regional water rates. The North Okanagan Regional District is poised to hike rates for a number of water utilities. But Coldstream Coun. Gyula Kiss says the rates could leave many households, particularly those on fixed incomes, high and dry. “Nobody really looked at the consequences of what would happen if we actually Gyula Kiss implement these,” Kiss told his council Monday. “There are three proposed water rate increases, low, medium and high. Some councillors also refer to them as

“must have, should have and nice to have.” Kiss projects that for a Coldstream household such as his own, which uses 570 cubic metres of water per year, the rates would see an increase of 35 per cent for the low range, 79 per cent for the mid range and 125 per cent at the high end. While Kiss agrees that increased rates are necessary to cover maintenance of the water systems, these numbers are doing much more. “They are subsidizing a huge amount of money for reserves,” said Kiss. “I don’t think the present customers should be setting up a huge reserve for future customers.”

A viral spiral
I
admit, I have done some embarrassing, silly things in my life. Never, in my wildest dreams, did I think as the third understudy in a Grade 7 Beairsto school production that I would actually have to be Shirley Temple and sing and dance to On The Good Ship Lollipop. But after sickness laid up the person playing the role, and a sudden “vacation” by the second understudy, there I was, donning the sailor’s dress and curly wig, shuffling and singing my heart out. I can laugh now about Roger Knox the night at BCIT where I walked my friend back to her room then discovered she had locked her keys in her room. She pointed out her window, which she assured me was open, so, ever the gallant gentleman, I climbed up the wall, slid along a rail and opened the window, only to wake up one of her sleeping roommates, who started screaming at me. Turns out it was the wrong window. And, of course, there was the day I snapped while working at a local radio station, shouting at co-workers, taking my personal problems out on them as if they had something to do with it. Fortunately for me, none of the above was captured on video and splashed on YouTube or Facebook, which, mercifully, didn’t exist during those moments. Oh, sure, there are some photographs of me on the social network having a great time at Funtastic, but I willingly posed for a vast majority of the photos. There are also photos of me wearing a dress, my penance for losing a bet to a co-worker. My point is, in this day and age, everybody it seems has instant access to either a camera or video camera on their cell phones or iPods, and it seems everybody is willing to go viral with their shots.

We likely now have all heard – and seen the video – of the Kelowna RCMP officer who allegedly kicked a suspect in the face, splashed on a media website. There is no justification for what the officer did, and it has led to public outrage. Rightly so. However, I hope that one piece of video doesn’t overshadow all the good work police officers do. Same goes for teachers. During events such as Chimo Days at Vernon secondary, teachers will take part, putting a team together, designed to boost school spirit. Same thing happened a year ago at a Winnipeg high school, where a couple of teachers entered a dance competition with other teachers, and proceeded to do a rather erotic lap dance in front of the student body. Naturally, somebody was rolling their phone, pasted the video on YouTube and, well, the teachers were suspended. Some good does come out of the viral world, like the case of American Ted Williams, a former radio announcer who became homeless after alcohol and drug issues. The Columbus Dispatch newspaper posted a video a few weeks ago of Williams panhandling using radio emcee imitations. The video was then posted to YouTube where it got millions of hits, and Williams got job offers from an NBA team and foodmakers. He was also reunited with his 92-year-old mother – the pair had been estranged due to Williams’ battles. Alas, a report out of Hollywood Wednesday said Williams and his daughter were allegedly taken to a police station for questioning Monday in connection with an argument at a Hollywood hotel. Police would not release any names, and said no charges were filed. Fortunately for Williams, it appears nobody had their video rolling on that matter. Radio guys can be testy sometimes, don’t you know.
The last thing anyone would expect to find squeezed between pages of charts and figures is details on a serious crime. But that’s what happened Wednesday as the media, members of the public and numerous city administrators sat through Vernon council’s 2011 budget deliberations. Among the items council was being asked to consider was $100,000 for an investigation into a cold case. Obviously such a large sum requires the blessing of council, and budget discussions generally should be open and transparent, but one has to question city staff on how a sensitive criminal matter was presented. Supt. Reg Burgess would not provide the media with specifics on the case, saying those involved in the incident “could go underground or they could disappear,” if they learn the RCMP are following up on new leads. However, just the fact that city staff placed the item in a public document that is available on the city’s website, and was openly discussed at a meeting where residents and the media were present, could undermine the integrity of the investigation. Those who were involved in the incident aren’t going to need all of the specifics to know they may want to head for the hills. Under provincial legislation, municipal officials have the ability to discuss items in private if they are classified as legal, property or labour. The guidelines on what fits that criteria have been stretched many times over the years, but there’s no question a cold case would have been an appropriate use of the rules. Based on what occurred Wednesday, the city needs to review how it handles future sensitive requests from the RCMP.

Fence story sparks response
W
ith reference to the article by Richard Rolke (Wildlife fencing approved), I am compelled to offer a modest rejoinder to the misleading elements and fatuous assertions contained within the article. It's a different perspective from a fellow Sunset resident for your readers to contemplate. I am fairly ambivalent about the central issue of the fences, as long as the fences do not give the neighbourhood the look and ambiance of alpaca farms. People can safeguard their properties using whatever measures are readily available, lawfully attained and respectful of community standards. As I understand the fence problem, the issue became contentious as a result of some high fences having been erected that turned out to be possibly non-compliant with applicable bylaws. As the fences were already in place, it became necessary to bring fences into compliance with bylaws by either adjusting the height of these fences or seeking retroactive approval from city council for the non-compliant fences by either amending relevant bylaws or appending property variances to the affected properties.
Understandably, the fence owners were not enthused about the prospect of modifying these established fences and therefore sought to achieve the retroactive approvals necessary to bring the properties into compliance. Much effort was valiantly expended by fence owners to persuade other residents of the merits of the fences. Although I do not object to reasonable fences (such as those at issue in this case), I am disappointed by the misleading portrayal of the wildlife population as “out of control” and equating the deer population to a rabbit problem. One might get the impression that Sunset Properties is home to herds of deer, sweeping
SCENE UPSETTING I too have left items at the entrance to thrift stores because they were closed when I stopped in. I will no longer. I was appalled at the actions I saw on a recent Sunday morning from four individuals behind a thrift in Vernon. A few bags of items had been left at the rear entrance for the thrift store. First an older, white pickup approached and two women get out to rummage through everything. And then another red car showed up with an elderly couple there to score the rest. Now, I'm all for being frugal as I don't have a lot of money. I use coupons. I shop at thrift stores for my clothes. I even travel to several shops just to save a few dollars on different things – but no one has the right to do what those people did. No matter how entitled they felt to those things, or if they were poor, or for whatever other reason they did this – those items were stolen. They were placed there by someone in good faith for the charity, and that trust was violated. I'm sure this type of activity happens all the

majestically through the neighbourhood, consuming all manner of flora and leaving a path of destruction behind while being pursued by coyotes, cougars and bears as they sustain the ugly, but necessary, battle for food chain supremacy: hunter and hunted; predator and prey. I have lived in Sunset Properties for 15 years. I have not noticed any particular change in either the quantity or characteristics of the wildlife in the area. To my recollection, I have never seen a bear, cougar or coyote in my yard. Serendipitously, however, I do see the odd deer or two wander through the yard although this is, regrettably,
time and like most other people out there, I was just ignorant to it. These are hard times for everybody, but that does not mean we have to lose our dignity and honour. One easy way donors can avoid this problem is to simply call your thrift store of choice to make sure they are open before you drop your items off. Sherise Lacey ENVIRONMENT FIRST In a letter to a constituent, Colin Mayes, the Okanagan-Shuswap Conservative MP, admits that protecting today's economy comes before protecting people and the planet. In addition, Mr. Mayes proves his government's complete ignorance of facts, by assuring his constituents that everything is working just fine when an audit by the country's environmental auditor, Scott Vaughan, concluded recently that the federal government isn't ready to handle a major oil spill in Canada's waters, even though the Coast Guard hears of a spill a day on
an infrequent and irregular phenomenon. I have heard some coyotes howl from time to time, but this is the sort of bucolic bacchanalia that enhances the experience of dwelling within a forest. The first paragraph of the article implies that city council has the impression that the fences in question will have the effect of mitigating danger from cougars and bears. I wonder if the reporter can ask council to expand upon this hypothesis by explaining how neighbourhood safety would be enhanced and how cougars and bears, if there are in fact any cougars and bears in this neighbourhood, will be baffled by a bit of fabric or wire fencing. Regarding the claimed loss of two dogs and six cats, I am afraid that this is the unfortunate but inevitable consequence of allowing dogs to roam unattended and cats to live outdoors, whether one lives in a forest or within a city. I would like to suggest that for a future article, Mr. Rolke explore the fun but perplexing and vexing question of why it is that people with a dislike of wildlife choose to live in forest areas? John Stubbs
average. In his letter, Mr. Mayes states: "Today, off the west coast of B.C., 25 per cent of all the crude needs for the U.S. is flowing from Alaska to the continental U.S. via tanker traffic, and there have not been any problems whatsoever. This, in my opinion, proves the regulations are working. We cannot deny jobs to people by shutting the economy down because we think there might be a risk. Your government, through Transport Canada, has provided the regulations to assure Canadians that we are doing everything possible to mitigate any risk of the traffic going down the B.C. coast." Apparently, Mr. Mayes and our Conservative government ignore that protecting today's economy is not only a lost cause, but one that is cruel and even criminal. By protecting a grey economy instead of shifting to a sustainable economy, they are denying millions of people green jobs, a safe environment and causing misery and deaths all around the world.

Coldstream reels in Sturgeon as fire chief JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Coldstream’s deputy fire chief is moving up the ranks to fill the position of a veteran, mentor and friend. Dave Sturgeon has answered the call for a new fire chief as Leo Lecavalier retires. “I am excited for this opportunity to serve my community and look forward to a great year,” said the 28-year-old Sturgeon, who was acclaimed chief at Coldstream Fire Department’s annual general meeting Friday. “I decided to put my name forward because I want to see the department move forward in putting together a strategic plan for the future and with 2011 having a new dispatch service from Fraser Valley I felt it is imperative to have a seamless transition,” said the 2001 Vernon Secondary graduate. As deputy chief, Sturgeon spent a lot of time learning the
operations of running a fire department under Lecavalier. The five-year firefighter’s main priority is keeping the community safe. “My only plans for the department at this point is to focus on training and making sure the trucks are staffed when the tones go off. “Also I would like to focus on keeping the department a team. I believe, as Leo always said, it doesn’t come down to one guy at the top but nothing could happen without the teamwork of the members. Everyone has a key role to play in the department no matter how big or small.” Lecavalier has no doubt that Sturgeon and the new executive will continue to keep the community’s safety a priority. But having put in endless hours during his years of service as chief, Lecavalier has concerns
“I would like to focus on keeping the department a team.” — Dave Sturgeon about the inner workings of the department. He is confident that Sturgeon can do the job, but worries that the young new chief may be worn thin trying to work a full-time job and put in the many necessary hours needed to run the fire department. Sturgeon, who is the meat department manager at Safeway, is married and also expecting a child this year. “Not many people can do that and a full-time job,” said Lecavalier. Sturgeon knows he has big shoes to fill, but plans to take his new role one day at a time. “I am just going to put my best foot for-
ward and hope that I can live up to his expectations,” said Sturgeon. “At this point I can not answer if I am planning on staying chief, I just want to take it one day at a time right now and see what we as a team can accomplish this year and only time will tell where I go from here.” The department is trying to work towards some possible changes in its structure with the formation of a strategic plan. Members are hoping to set up some sort of a time line for a strategic plan with the fire department liaison committee – which it must answer to. “A strategic plan will identify all the changes
that are needed,” said Lecavalier. Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick, who is also a member of the fire department liaison committee, says council is ready to assist the department. “Council is supportive with the fire halls. With the new young people coming out we want to support them,” said Garlick at Monday’s council meeting. Coun. Maria Besso agrees: “We have an excellent fire department and we want to keep it that way.” Having personally dealt with the department in an emergency, Coun. Gyula Kiss credits the volunteers for keeping him, his family and possessions safe during a recent house fire. “I was very impressed with the speed they actually came out. Flames were going up in the sky and within two minutes there were no more flames,”
said Kiss, also crediting emergency social services for taking care of him and his wife. As Sturgeon takes over as chief, Lecavalier will be sticking around to help with the transition. Moving into the deputy chief position is Luke Lecavalier.

RCMP arrest suspect in Cherryville operation Morning Star Staff
A Kelowna man is in trouble over a Cherryville grow operation, dismantled Monday by RCMP. Police executed a search warrant at a residence on Specht Road at 3 p.m. and discovered 62 marijuana plants within a grow operation. “This operation was capable of growing approximately 10 times that amount along with an electrical diversion,� said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The Kelowna man, 35, was arrested inside the house. He was released on a promise to appear in provincial court, where he is expected to face charges of theft of telecommunications (Hydro
Grow-op located in crawl space Morning Star Staff
One man was arrested Monday after Lake Country RCMP shut down a marijuana grow operation. RCMP executed a search warrant under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act in the 10000 block of Powley Court, and discovered the remains of an active indoor marijuana grow operation. The crawl space of the house had been totally converted to grow marijuana. An access panel had been cut in the floor of the master bedroom in order to access the operation. Drying marijuana bud and growing equipment were seized. The male home owner was located and arrested on scene without incident. He was later released on a promise to appear in court. Lake Country bylaw services attended the residence, and after inspection posted a no occupancy permit on the residence due to the modifications and mould present in the house.

Riders seek bus shelter JENNIFER SMITH
“We should be considering a bus shelter in the area.”
Morning Star Staff
Coldstream bus riders forced to brave weather’s elements are urging for some shelter. The district used to have bus shelters, but removed them over the years due to maintenance problems. Local residents Louise Baynes and Mary Green are hoping their local politicians will consider re-erecting a particular bus shelter. “Sometime ago, when the bus travelled down Coldstream Creek Road, we had a bus shelter on Kalamalka Road, near Giles Drive,” the women said in a letter to council. “My, what a blessing that was!”
— Richard Enns While Coldstream has no plans to construct any new shelters on Kalamalka Road, it is an option some say is worth considering. “My sense is we should be considering a bus shelter in the area where we have a town hall and school,” said Coun. Richard Enns, adding that a shelter in the area around the proposed town centre makes sense. With a transit review
Car plows into truck Morning Star Staff
Winter conditions are being looked at as a factor in a Wednesday morning collision on Highway 6 between a car and a snowplow. Vernon RCMP report a 2002 Buick Sentra was driving on the highway shortly after 7 a.m. when the female driver from Coldstream lost control of the vehicle on the snow-covered road, and hit the back end of a snowplow. The collision caused significant front-end damage to the Sentra and some rear-end damage to the snowplow. No injuries were reported in the accident.
coming up in the near future, Mayor Jim Garlick says it may be considered. “I don’t think council would be against bus shelters in the future if we knew where our route was and what worked.”

For the record An article about the Vernon School District in the Jan. 9 Morning Star contained incorrect information. The quote from district chairman Bill Turanski should have read, “The provincial mandate for public sector unions is a two-year contract at zero per cent.” The Morning Star apologizes for any confusion this may have caused.

Star makes safety a priority FEBRUARY IS HEART MONTH.

Silver Star Mountain Resort
Like any sport, there is an inherent risk of injury. At Silver Star, skiing and snowboarding bring with them their own potential for accidents. Fortunately, Silver Star boasts one of Canada’s best prepared safety teams. The members of Silver Star’s patrol team, along with the resort’s fire department and Vernon Search and Rescue will be on hand Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the second annual Emergency Services Day. Jeremy Griffiths, patrol and safety manager at the resort, knows just how critical the initial response is when it comes to a patient’s overall recovery. “Five minutes can be the difference between permanent injury or even death,” said Griffiths, who joined Silver Star after years of working in the U.K. with emergency response teams. “We make sure all our patrol members are ready to respond in not only a timely manner, but that they are prepared to handle any situation.” That level of expertise was recently recognized with a national award for saving the lives of two people who had heart attacks on the mountain within two hours of each other last ski season. “We have a dedicated team of professionals here,” said Michael Sherwood, general manager of Silver Star. “It’s reassuring to not only the resort, but to the public, to know safety is such a priority here.” Griffiths said Saturday’s event is an excellent time to not only get a better understanding of the process of safety, but an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to become a member of one of the teams on display.

News Weekend service earns Go Award Roko goes above and beyond to help a client ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
It was a Saturday morning on a long weekend, and Harald Kober was in the office of his family-owned Roko Service catching up on paperwork. It was lucky for the family looking for a battery and an alternator that Kober picked up the phone. The family had been travelling from Calgary to Armstrong, when their vehicle broke down between Golden and Revelstoke. After being towed to Revelstoke, the family got a ride to Armstrong and decided to wait until the next day to replace the alternator and battery. The family phoned Roko and got a hold of Kober, who listened to the story and explained that the shop would re-open on Tuesday. When the dad explained that it was a bad start to a holiday
ROGER KNOX/MORNING STAR
Harald Kober, owner of Roko Service, is the recipient of a Grand GO Award from the North Okanagan Employment Enhancement Society for exceptional customer service. long weekend, Kober agreed to open the shop so the family could pick up the equipment they needed. And for that, Kober was named a winner of a Grand GO Award from
the North Okanagan E m p l o y m e n t Enhancement Society’s customer service recognition program. “We really appreciate that Harald went the extra mile to pro-
vide excellent customer service, and help our son and his family get back to enjoying their vacation,” wrote the person who nominated Kober for the award. Kober, who has been with the family business since 1979, received gift certificates from the Best Western Vernon Lodge, a balloon bouquet and GO Award travel mug and lapel pin. “Really, this should go to the shop, not just me,” said a smiling Kober when presented with his award by Krista Kay, the GO Award program coordinator. “It’s all of the guys. The shop allows me to do this kind of thing. The guys in the background give the products to present to the community and look after the community.” The GO Award program is sponsored by Tourism B.C., Askew’s Foods, Shepherd’s Hardware Ltd., The Morning Star, SunFM, The Okanagan Advertiser, Electric Paper Company and many local businesses and organizations.

Action plan looks to public
T
hanks to the rapid and effective implementation of Canada’s economic action plan, Canada is on the right track to emerge from the global economic recession powered by one of the strongest economies in the industrialized world. I want to hear from the constituents of the Okanagan-Shuswap on the next phase of our economic action plan, which will focus Colin Mayes on securing the recovery and returning to a balanced budget. I am seeking responses from OkanaganShuswap residents, businesses, and organizations on a number of questions, including: The Canadian economy is on the right track — we are on the road for both economic recovery and balanced budgets. But the global economy is fragile and too many Canadians are still looking for work. Without throwing Canada off-track for balanced budgets, what cost-neutral or nonspending steps can the federal government take in the next budget to help create jobs and promote economic growth? Canada is on track for balanced budgets in 2015–16. Is this time frame appropriate? Should the federal government try to get back to balance sooner? Or should the timeline be delayed until later on? Government should always carefully manage taxpayers’ money to ensure the best value for money. The federal government is always focused on keeping spending in check and ensuring spending is as efficient and effective as possible. In what areas do you think the federal government can be more efficient and effective? What should Canada’s priorities be for the short and long term to encourage private sector growth and leadership in the economy? As the government prepares for budget 2011, I personally invite you to make your voice heard as we work together to ensure Canada emerges from the global recession in a position of strength. As part of efforts to listen to a wide variety of opinions, the government is conducting online consultations. Those wishing to make submissions can do so by visiting http://www.fin.gc.ca/prebudget-prebudgetaire/1-eng.asp. Many of the recommendations flowing out of this consultation process are implemented in the federal budget. Businesses, organizations and individuals are

Patrol earns national honours Morning Star Staff
The heroic actions of six members of Silver Star’s Ski Patrol haven’t gone unnoticed. Led by manager Jeremy Griffiths, the six members have been awarded with the Canadian Ski Patrol Systems’ national life saving award. Griffiths was joined by fellow patrollers Nate Davis, Zach Hurt, Dan Hindle, Steve Oakes and Brad Atkins to accept their award for their work in saving the lives of two individuals at the resort a mere two hours apart. On Dec. 21, 2009, Griffiths and his team, backed by members of the Silver Star Fire Department, Dr. Kira McClellan, and paramedics from the B.C. Ambulance Service, responded to two separate cardiac arrests. “Thanks to the incredible response time and advanced skills of this team, both patients were successfully resuscitated and have both made remarkable recoveries,” said Michael Sherwood, general manager of Silver Star. “We are very fortunate to have such a strong and dedicated team of patrollers at Silver Star.” The award is the highest first aid recognition award presented nationally to members of the CSPS.
“We are very fortunate to have such a strong and dedicated team of patrollers.” — Michael Sherwood Until two years ago, it had only been presented 14 times in total since its inception. Members of the Silver Star Ski Patrol have received it six times since then. Along with the Life Saving Award presentation, CSPS presented other members of the Silver Star Ski Patrol and Silver Star Fire Department with outstanding achievement awards recognizing those who have gone above and beyond in the selfless administration of first aid and care to others. The awards were presented by Tom Tull, the CSPS director of operations, Dan Dunlop, the CSPS vice-president of administration and finance, and Fred Haight, CSPS inter-mountain zone president.

Lake Country and North Westside Road residents are being reminded to get 2011 licenses for their dogs. “All responsible dog owners should understand that a license is required under the regional district dog control bylaw,” said Bruce Smith, with the Central Okanagan Regional District. “ U n f o r t u n a t e l y, almost three-quarters of the more than 770 dogs that we saw at the pound during 2010 didn’t have a license. That makes it difficult for our staff to contact the dog owner and return their pet. If you’re dog isn’t licensed and is impounded, it will be subject to an additional $100 fee, on top of the regular impound and licensing fees.” CORD is only required to hold a dog at the pound for up to 72 hours. “So if their dog is missing, we encourage them to contact our dog control staff as quickly as possible to facilitate a happy reunion,” said Smith. Dog license renewals for Lake Country and North Westside Road residents must be made by Feb. 28 or a $20 dollar late charge will be applied. “The tag for a dog

Griffith grabs share of first Morning Star Staff
Ty Griffith will begin the men’s provincial curling qualifier in Prince George today on a high. Griffith (Nufloors) earned a three-way share of first place in the Baron Insurance Super League by grounding co-leader Brad Kuhn (North Enderby Timber) 10-5 Wednesday night at the Vernon Curling Club. The two rinks, tied at 10-3 with Jim Cotter’s Woodland equipment, traded big ends all game long. Griffith counted a triple and deuce in the first
and third ends. Kuhn, suffering his second straight loss, answered with two in the second and three in the fourth before Griffith forced handshakes with a huge five-pointer in the fifth. Griffith, backed by third Darren Nelson, second Brad Wood and lead Darin Gerow, opens the eightteam qualifier today against fellow super leaguer T.J. Perepolkin, whose Canaccord Wealth Management stopped Jenn Gerow’s Gateway Mechanical 7-3 Wednesday night.

Ryan Renz expected a new home after Monday’s B.C. Hockey League trade deadline. He just didn’t know where he would land. The Alberni Valley Bulldog defenceman sat at his parents in his hometown Castlegar, waiting to hear the news. He was initially dealt to the Prince George Spruce Kings in exchange for 1991-born defenceman Mike Puddifant and forward Dylan Nowakowski (‘91), who was acquired in an earlier trade from the Victoria Grizzlies. The Spruce Kings, the biggest sellers at the deadline, moving their top three scorers (RJay Berra, Nic DeSousa and Justin Fillion), then shipped the 17-year-old Renz to the Vernon Vipers in exchange for winger Todd Skirving and future considerations. Renz, who grew up with fellow Viper Aaron Hadley, is thrilled to be headed to a playoff contender. “I was at home, so I knew something was going to happen. When I first got traded to Prince George, I wasn’t sure what was going to happen after that, and then when I got traded to Vernon I couldn’t wait to get here and carry on for the rest of the season,” he said. Renz joined Alberni from the KIJHL Castlegar Rebels midway through last season and has since earned a NCAA Division 1 scholarship with the Northeastern Huskies. The 6-foot-2, 210-pounder is ranked 208th in NHL Central Scouting’s midterm report on draft-eligible players. He recorded 3-7-10 and 38 penalty minutes in 22 games with the Bulldogs this season. “I bring a physical presence and lots of intensity. I try to improve other players as I improve myself and be a team guy and make an impact each time I’m out on the ice,” said Renz, who skated with Brett Corkey at Viper practice on Wednesday. The Vipers’ other deadline acquisition, forward Dane Muench, flew in from Saskatoon to meet his new team on Tuesday.
Muench, a Martensville, Sask. native, led the WHL Regina Pats in preseason scoring before battling injury early in the year. He managed two goals and five helpers in 23 games before being assigned to the SJHL Battleford North Stars at the deadline. Vernon picked him up in exchange for future considerations. “I’m just lookRyan Renz ing forward to getting in the lineup and getting a feel for the league. It’s a good opportunity,” said Muench, who turns 19 on Wednesday. “I just want to help out any way I Dane Muench can, wherever the coach puts me.” The younger brother of former Viper Drew Muench (2006-07), Dane is familiar with the organization’s heritage. “He said it was a great place to play and that he really enjoyed his time here. Hopefully it will be the same for me,” he said. Renz and Muench will be in the lineup tonight when the Vipers, second in the Interior at 23-9-4-8, visit the Quesnel Millionaires (11-26-3-4). They face Skirving and the cellardwelling Spruce Kings (10-33-0-2) Saturday at the Coliseum. SNAKE BITES: Former Viper Sahir Gill is rated 139th in the Central Scouting poll. Gill, a Terrace product, is third on the NCAA Boston University Terriers with 4-12-16 in 20 games... The Salmon Arm SilverBacks made the biggest deadline deal, acquiring BCHL scoring leader Mike Hammond (‘90) from the Cowichan Valley Capitals in exchange for forward Matt Cassidy (‘90) and future considerations. The Gorillas (27-142-0) trail Vernon by two points... In BCHL action Tuesday night, Vernon native Trent Dorais recorded a pair of goals to earn first star as the host Bulldogs shaded the Grizzlies 4-3 at Weyerhaeuser Arena.

Knights unbeaten in three INVENT
The Vernon snowboard duo of Rhett Haubrich and Beau Pearson continue to shine on the provincial slopestyle scene. After finishing one-two in the 15-18-year-old boys non-FIS division last season, the two riders moved into the highly competitive FIS category, which features more than 30 of B.C.’s top riders, for the 2011 season. In their first provincial competition Saturday at Big White, Pearson struck gold and Haubrich uncovered bronze. In Sunday competition, Haubrich took gold on the day and first overall and Pearson delivered silver in both.
“Rhett and I have grown up snowboarding and training together and it has helped us both to push each other to continually improve,” said Pearson, who trains with Haubrich on the Silver Star freestyle team. “It is nice when we both hit the podium, no matter who finishes on top.” Pearson, a Vernon secondary grad and former member of the High Performance program, was recently named to the B.C. freestyle snowboard team. Haubrich, who graduates from VSS in two weeks, has hopes of heading to Whistler. Slopestyle, which will make its Olympic debut at the 2014 Games in Sochi, Russia, consists of both rails and big air events.

The North Okanagan Knights enter the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League all-star break on a decent roll. New Jersey product Zachary Lindsay had his second straight two-goal outing as the Knights brushed back the Sicamous Eagles 5-4 before 100 fans Wednesday night at the Nor-Val Sports Centre in Armstrong. North Okanagan is unbeaten in their last three games and improved to 15-22-1-1, one point ahead of Sicamous in the Doug Birks Division. Lindsay, who has five goals in his rookie season, netted goals four minutes apart early in the second period. He was named first star. Kelowna rookie Steven Pantazopoulos also scored twice (five on the year), including the winner with 3:37 remaining. Second star Colin Minardi’s 15th goal of the season, on the powerplay, made it
4-3 Knights six minutes into the third period. Andrew Nunn, Steven Powers, Joel Kipp and Mark Arnold, with 65 seconds to play, answered for the Eagles (13-20-1-4). Kurtis Hagen and Andrew Nicholls each pocketed a pair of assists for the Knights, who got 32 saves from Chris Hurry. Aaron Brandoli made 31 stops for Sicamous. Californian Mat Leko made his debut with the Knights and showed good grit and speed, while Brett Hawrys of the Vernon Midget Tier 1 Vipers and Dylan Chanter of POE saw duty as affiliates. Shawn Holliday and Eric Chore of the Knights will play in the KIJHL Top Prospects Game tonight at Fernie Memorial Arena. Vernon’s Devon Hascarl and Colton Dahlen will represent the Revelstoke Grizzlies. Minardi is in Saturday night’s all-star game. The Knights, meanwhile, invite fans to their Business After Business night Wednesday, 5:30 p.m., at Nor-Val Sports Centre. There will be refreshments and door prizes. The Knights play the Kelowna Chiefs at 7 p.m.

After surrendering a single in one and blanking two, Perepolkin’s crew – third Deane Horning, Andrew Mercer and lead Dave Melloff – racked up a triple in three and stole one in four. Gateway second Melissa Moen delivered a pair of gorgeous tick shots, setting her rink up for two in the fifth end. Perepolkin, now 7-7, answered with a triple in seven. Gerow dipped to 2-11. Cotter earned his share of first by brushing back Jon Gardner’s Sladen Moore 6-4. After making a double takeout for two in the first end, Cotter held the B.C. junior champs to a single in two. A draw for a deuce and a single steal had Cotter up by three after four ends, but Gardner (7-6) answered with two in the fifth end. Wayne Laface’s Inspiration Homes collected three points in the fourth end and one in the fifth on the way to a 6-2 decision over Jeff Richard’s B.C. Trailer. Laface, now 9-5, settled for two in the first end when his rock rolled out after a hit attempt. Terry Bublitz, subbing for Richard at skip, made a great freeze on her last rock in the second to earn a point in two, then stole another in three. Richard occupies last place at 1-11. The game between Blake Kimura’s Village Green Hotel and Kayla Gunner’s Armstrong Inn will be rescheduled.

Fulton led by as much as 21 point in the second half but Kal closed to within six in

Saints secure silver work effort Friday night. On Saturday morning, the Stars tied the Penticton Vapor 1-1 with both goals coming in the third period. With 10 minutes remaining, Meier equalized with help from Keenan MacDonald. Tinney did a great job in net. Meier was named Game MVP. The Stars then had the 6 a.m. tilt Sunday and had enough sleep to clip the Grand Forks Bruins 3-2 with MacDonald scoring twice on feeds by Edwin Hayman. Ryan Fair added a late goal, assisted by Meier, and MVP Tinney stopped a Bruins’ penalty shot with seven seconds to play to preserve the win. Lumby coach Bobby Nicholls was impressed with all of his players and is looking forward to the Summerland tournament this weekend. He thanked all of hard-working parents who volunteered countless hours to make this tournament a success. “A special thank you goes to Kelly Meier and Bonnie Masterd, as managers, who organized the tournament and spent endless hours at the rink this weekend volunteering their time,” said Nicholls.

The Summerland Jets stopped the Vernon Denny’s Saints 6-3 Sunday in the final of the Lumby Stars Invitational Bantam Rec Hockey Tournament at Pat Duke Memorial Arena. Big forward Jacob Lusted scored three times on howitzers to lead the Jets, who got two goals, including an empty-netter, from Ryan Blystone. Kristian Currie, Chris Gallant and Nik Wasylyk (shorthanded) replied for the Saints, whose game MVP was hard-working forward Marcus Finn. The Jets clipped the Saints 2-1 in the semifinals of the Nelson Tournament in early December. “They certainly have our number,” said Saints’ head coach Kevin Mitchell. “Our guys gave it all they had and outchanced them but we just couldn’t finish.” Earlier Sunday, the Saints won their third straight pool game, 8-2, over the Kamloops Saints. Finn pulled the hat trick, while Gallant bagged 2+3 and singles came from Colgan and Wasylyk. In Saturday games, Denny’s iced the Westside Furocious Kittens 8-1 and iced the Valemount Wildcats 22-0. Player of the game Layne Greene supplied 2+1 as the Saints beat Westside. Currie also scored twice, while Mitchell Cousins, Finn, Wasylyk and Gallant provided singles. Game MVP Lucas Colgan fired five goals versus Valemount, while Finn had 4+3, Taylor Maxwell earned 3+2 and Currie added 2+3 against the young Wildcats, named Most Sportsmanlike Team. Gallant and Wasylyk each scored twice, while Max Mitchell pocketed 1+6 and Josh Lerbeck, Greene and Cousins also scored once. The host Stars, sponsored by Irly Bird Building Centers and Gudeit Bros. Contracting, earned the bronze medal with a 3-2 victory over Kamloops. Shale Williamson opened the scoring with an unassisted goal. Logan Meier then added a pair with Connor and Ryan Fair picking up assists. Corey Tinney made some spectacular saves throughout the game. Lumby captain Shale Williamson was MVP. The Stars opened the eight-team affair by falling 2-1 to Summerland. Meier scored for the Stars in the first period. Ryan Fair earned MVP for his relentless

Dueck digs Italy Morning Star Staff
Canadian Josh Dueck posted his best-ever result in an IPC World Cup men’s giant slalom Sunday, picking up a silver medal in Rea Terme, Italy. The Vernon athlete placed second in the men’s sitting category in the para-alpine event and was one of three Canadian medal winners. “I’m a little bit surprised about (Sunday’s) result,” Dueck said, in a news release. “I knew that my giant slalom skills had improved over the summer but at the same time at the beginning of the World Cup season I didn’t expect to be on the podium. I was more aiming for a couple of top-five finishes.” Takeshi Suzuki of Japan won gold and Cyril More of France took home the bronze.

Gulls drop semi The Vernon Battery Seagulls won all three round-robin games before suffering a hard-luck 6-5 semifinal loss Sunday against Westside at the Osoyoos Midget Rec Hockey Tournament. Westside scored the winner with 21 seconds left. The Seagulls pulled their goalie Rodger Sewell and had two great chances to tie. Said Vernon head coach Dan Wilson: “We received many compliments from other coaches and fans about our hard work and good passing. The Seagulls are playing an exciting brand of hockey right now.” Game MVP Dustin Folliott supplied 2+1, while Justin Ramsey (2) goals and Tyson Clark completed the offence. The Seagulls opened by thumping the host South Okanagan 10-0 with game MVP Bradley David getting 3+2, Brett Vandale also scoring three times, Folliott adding 2+3 and singles going to Dixon Louis and Ramsey. Luke Vandale and Sewell shared the Seagulls’ first shutout of the season. On Saturday morning, the Seagulls recorded a 3-0 win over Aldergrove #2. Josh Readshaw scored the winner in the second period, assisted by Folliott, while MVP Mary Rice added insurance, assisted by Brett Vandale, and Ramsey from Natalie Johnston, sealed the victory. Vandale and Sewell earned their second consecutive shutout. Folliott fired four goals as the Seagulls outlasted Williams Lake 8-6 Saturday night. Game MVP Ramsey (3) and Tyson Clark supported the Gulls, who got three assists from Grayson Willan. The Seagulls played seven periods of shutout hockey until Williams Lake scored in the second period. Parker Gray pocketed five goals as
the DCT Chambers Trucking Red Bulls bounced the Scotiabank Scorpions 9-2 in North Okanagan Bantam Super Hockey League play Friday night at Priest Valley Arena. Connor Smidt (2), Brett Shaigec and Russell Day rounded out the 9-2-1 Bulls’ scoring with Colten Bonneau, Tim Ufimtseff, Ben James, Danielle Butler and Day doing the playmaking. Ben Aspenlieder, from Brock Wagner and Landon Munk, and Munk from Rowyn Lewis-Hatherley, replied for the 5-7 Scorpions. The Vernon Bannister Heat and the Salmon Arm McDonald’s Yetis battled to a 6-6 tie in Atom Super League play Sunday at Wesbild Centre. The Heat chipped away at an early lead by the Yetis with some hard work in the second period. Jordan Foster put on a great show in net, while Myles Wohlford and Braydie Allan each scored twice and singles came from Adam Raber and Carly Southam. Evan Trottier earned two assists. The Lumby Nor Renovation Stars bowed 6-2 to the host Winfield Bruins in other Atom Super League action. Birthday boy Tanner Gilbert and Ryan Desilets scored for the Stars, who received superb goaltending from Josh Litven. Amber Johnson, Drew Mackenzie, Jordan Romailler, Vanessa Yaremcio and Chloe Yule supplied offensive pressure and created several scoring chances. Payton Kineshanko, Kendra Jones, Haylee Gosselin, Cam Pryor and Emily Romailler kept the Bruins scoring chances down in their defensive zone. Gilbert, Ryan Desilets and Johnson got the nod for stars of the game. Drew MacKenzie was the ‘Hard Working
Player’ recipient. The Novice C Stars, sponsored by Lumby Tirecraft, Nor Renovations and Backyard Bobcat, iced the North Okanagan Knights 11-6. Netminder Michael Preston was gritty for the Stars, who used a goal by Tage Kineshanko to start their comeback. Nic Teale counted 5+1, while Kineshanko (4), Quin Williamson and Noah Clarke completed the Lumby offence. Linden Catt (3), Peter Romailler (2) and Noah Clarke (2) led the playmaking.

Students set to make difference in Kenya KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff
For Canadian teens, attending school is a right, not a privilege. But around the world, getting an education often comes second for young girls, whose job is to ensure their family has clean water to drink and food to eat. But a group of high school students in Vernon is hoping to change that. Working with Me to We and its sister organization, Free the Children, two groups of students will travel to Kenya in 2011 and 2012 to help build a school. Thanks to a new program at Vernon Secondary School called Global Action, teacher Susan Egan has come up with a way of helping young people make a change for their peers in other parts of the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is wonderful to see teens so excited and working so hard to make a difference in the world,â&#x20AC;? said Egan, who teaches social studies and computers at VSS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have always wanted to do this kind of trip and just get out there and see if I can help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My career is working with young people, so this was a way of marrying my personal goal with my professional.â&#x20AC;? After researching a variety of volunteer trips, Egan contacted Free the Children, which empowers children in North America to take action to improve the lives of fellow children overseas. By combatting child labour around the world, it creates opportunities for children to go to school to ensure they will have a better future. Founded in 1995 by international child rights activist Craig Kielburger, Free The Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s international projects, led by the adopt-a-village program, have brought
KATHERINE MORTIMER/MORNING STAR
VSS students Mckinnley Massey (left) Natalie Johnson, Alanah Coss, Colin Minguy, Courtney Moi and teacher Susan Egan are busy fundraising for their trip to Kenya as part of the Global Action program. more than 650 schools and water projects to communities in 45 countries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What they do is on track with what I believe,â&#x20AC;? said Egan, who will be accompanied on the trips by VSS teachers Jill McDonald and Mike Sawka. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing youth volunteer trips for the past 14 years, and they have figured out how to bring youth to the community and make it a wonderful leadership experience, so we decided this would be the right project for us. As well, they keep their administrative costs low.â&#x20AC;? After doing some research into the available trips, Kenya was the overwhelming choice among students, and so began the long road of planning, fundraising and researching to send a group of Vernon high school students to a village in east Africa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People felt it was a place we could make a difference,â&#x20AC;? said Egan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great that these students want to go and help build a school, when they could be in Hawaii
lying on a beach, but instead theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re choosing to travel to Kenya to do good work.â&#x20AC;? Next year, 23 students from the North Okanagan will travel to Kenya, with another group travelling in 2012. For Grade 10 student Mckinnley Massey, the trip is a chance to combine her desire to travel with her need to give back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Volunteer trips have always appealed to me,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think going to Kenya will be a great experience.â&#x20AC;? Massey has done some travelling, but the trip from Vancouver to Nairobi, via London, will be her first time out of North America. Grade 11 student Alanah Coss has travelled all over Europe, to Hawaii and California, but she has nurtured a dream of going to Kenya since Grade 6 and has been conducting her own online research on how to make that dream a reality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You had to be 16 to do this kind of trip, so I
had to wait, but I always wanted to help,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know how much we take for granted here, such as being able to go to school five days a week.â&#x20AC;? Coss does admit that her fear of needles means there is one aspect of the trip that she is dreading: the vaccinations required for travel to Kenya. Grade 11 student Courtney Moiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trip to Kenya is something of a homecoming for her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My dad was an engineer and my parents were into the whole global movement,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We lived in Tanzania for awhile and I really got into the culture, and I know some Swahili and have close friends there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Masai culture is so rich and they have a really strong culture. Kenya is not just about poverty, and by living there, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen a lot of the hope and joy. We take a lot of things for granted here. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a community there, where you feel so close to everyone. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspiring â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to help them, but I know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to

help me.â&#x20AC;? Grade 11 student Colin Minguy has travelled to Quebec, and makes annual trips to Mexico, but he has always wanted to get involved in a program to volunteer in another country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think all kids deserve to get an education, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so privileged here,â&#x20AC;? said Minguy, whose first fundraising project is a bottle drive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m most excited about is helping out kids in other countries, and to try out some new foods.â&#x20AC;? After seeing a video presentation about the trip, Grade 10 student Natalie Johnston knew this was something she needed to do. And as a runner on the crosscountry team, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking forward to travelling to a country that is famed for its elite, superstar runners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to meeting the kids and hanging out,â&#x20AC;? said Johnston, who has travelled throughout North America and Europe. In addition to the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; individual fundraising projects, the
program is holding a lottery, with the grand prize of two airline tickets anywhere in continental North America. Tickets are $4 and can be ordered through VSS. The trip is made possible thanks to Educational Tours, which is organizing the trips to Kenya. The draw for tickets is March 17. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fundraising is two-fold: to help the students raise money for their trip to help build a school, which includes a donation to the village, and under the adopta-village program raise money to buy cows and goats for villagers, to help families so that children can go to school, rather than needing to work so the family can eat,â&#x20AC;? said Egan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is such a privilege working with these amazing students, who are working so hard to fundraise for our global volunteering trip and to raise money for our adopted village in Kenya. We really appreciate all of the community support. To raise awareness of the issues children in Kenya face, the students
will hold a water walka-thon in the spring, walking from VSS to Kalamalka Lake. They will fill four-litre milk jugs with water and hike back to the school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to raise awareness about water issues in Kenya, where girls walk up to two hours to the river to fetch water for their families and the community,â&#x20AC;? said Egan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through Free the Children, wells have been built alongside schools so that girls can attend, then still fulfill their responsibilities by bringing clean water back with them.â&#x20AC;? Egan said the project ties in with the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own mission of kindness of compassion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a really special place to work. And all of our groups work together â&#x20AC;&#x201C; global action, anti-bullying, leadership and service clubs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so there are some great things going on.â&#x20AC;? For more information on fundraising, to order raffle tickets or to sign up for one of the trips to Kenya, contact Egan at segan@sd22. bc.ca.

6ERNON FEATURED IN FILM STARRING 3UZUKI Short film about the internment of Japanese Canadians uses local talent KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a history many of us donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember, or would rather forget, but for the more than 22,000 Japanese Canadians who were interned in camps during the Second World War, the memories linger. That history came to light for film director Wendy Ord and screenwriter Glen Samuel when they moved onto a rental property in Carrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landing. They were told by neighbours the decrepit buildings standing at the back of their parcel of land were remnants of a Japanese internment camp. And while the information did not turn out to be accurate, it planted a seed. Their new short film, Tora, speaks to that past. Shot in both Vernon and Lake Country this past year, the 30-minute film is about to make its premiere at two sold-out screenings in Kelowna this weekend. Not only does Tora star renowned scientist/environmentalist David Suzuki in his first acting role, Vernon also features prominently in the film. A lower East Hill neighbourhood, including a house that was for sale on 26th Street near St. James Church, was converted into a movie set this past summer and serves as the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1940s-era summer scene. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The City of Vernon moved heaven and earth for us to work there,â&#x20AC;? said Ord. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They rerouted bus routes, and we asked to have the fire hydrants open so we could have this wet look on the street, and they got us permits for that.â&#x20AC;? However, when the film crew went to turn on the hoses, they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work, so the Vernon Fire Department came to the set to help out with wetting the street, she added. Local residents also helped out the production by bringing in their older model cars to be used on the street scene. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had the hardest time finding cars, and we went to the car shows, but everyone had these souped-up models,â&#x20AC;? said Ord. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We then put an ad in (The Morning Star) and we got a lot of calls.â&#x20AC;? A number of locals also worked on the production. Set designers Alex and Gina Hanfstingl, who have more than 20 years experience in

the film and TV industry, recently moved to Canada from Germany and are now settled in the BX area of Vernon. Local video producer Bruce Mol filmed the productionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behind-the-scenes footage, while a number of residents served as the
filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extras, including local doctor Steve Debella, who can be seen washing a car, and actor Clive Goodrich who plays a policeman. Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gum Tree Catering fed the cast and crew for the day of shooting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea was to work with local crew as much as possible to build a local crew base for future projects,â&#x20AC;? said Ord. Suzuki is just one of the cast of dedicated Japanese Canadians in the film, which is a ghost story about a father and daughter who end up in an internment camp. It was Ord, who has worked in the film business for 30 years, who wrangled the renowned scientist and Nature of Things host into the movie. The role fits into Suzukiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own past, as he and his family were taken from Vancouver to live at the internment camp in New Denver in the Slocan Valley during the war. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The local Japanese Canadian community was involved and they all worked for free as extras for background,â&#x20AC;? said Ord, who with Samuel are hoping Suzukiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s star power just might turn the right heads to parlay their story onto even bigger screens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already written a treatment for
a feature film based on the same story,â&#x20AC;? she added. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a common practice in the film industry to make a short like Tora as a teaser to draw investors for a bigger project. But for now, the haunting little tale stands as a testament to a communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to pull together and invest in one another to make a dream a reality, and possibly, draw more work to the area. While Tora is financed with a small contribution from the National Film Board, the National Association of Japanese Canadians, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and VISA,â&#x20AC;? as Ord put it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largely a speculative effort. The community that helped put Tora on screen will get a chance to see the movie Sunday at the Kelowna campus of Okanagan College, with the possibility of a Vernon screening down the road. In the meantime, people will be able to download the film at cost within the next two weeks, said Ord.

Island-Indian blend soothes NikTex: The Power of Yang
T
he Power of Yang, recorded by NikTex on Vancouver Island (Victoria and Cumberland), has an uplifting sound that sits on the border between folk and acoustic jazz. The mood is decidedly mellow with a singer/songwriter aesthetic, but atmospheric haze is introduced for good measure via studio-enhanced experimentation. The Victoria-based vocalist/guitarist/instrumentalist Nikole Texidor draws Dean Gordon-Smith from ‘70’s folk/rock singers Melanie, Laura Nyro, and Joni Mitchell in sound, but her style is falling on the melodic side of experimental. This isn’t surprising when given her heritage: her father was a percussionist with freejazz innovator Roland Kirk. Her collaborator, Manjindor Benning, is a multi-instrumentalist specializing in exotic percussion instruments such as dilruba, tablas, and “kitchen items.” He also plays drums. The elements added by Benning and studio players Tobias Meis, Corwin Fox, and Ian Avery are layered lightly within Texidor’s acoustic songs: adding more currents to the easy flow of the tracks. Definitely Lazy, a table-enhanced folk/jazz song, has enticing elements of 60’s Cuban pop,

This characteristic is represented throughout the album, and other songs like Colours Blurred and Manfather enhance that direction with Texidor’s silky-droned melodies and finger-picked guitar. The material on The Power of Yang has an other-worldly quality, a blend of ether and earth.
Nominate your favourite local musician Morning Star Staff

of Astral Media’s B.C. Interior radio stations, where again the public will decide, by vote, which of the top six will win. Only the coveted People’s Choice Award will be determined by the artist’s own grassroots efforts. They can utilize their fan bases through social media to get out the vote in the one category where it counts. The B.C. Interior Music Awards, developed in 2008, recog-
nizes achievement and excellence, with a vision to develop, promote and celebrate the B.C. Interior music industry. With the 2011 awards taking place in April, organizers are urging all musicians to get themselves nominated in time for the Jan. 31 deadline. The nomination process is designed this year to be self-appointed in order to streamline the qualifying procedures. Once artists determine their eligibility,
they can simply nominate themselves for the appropriate categories. The third annual BCIMAs will take place April 23 at the Kelowna Community Theatre with winners in 27 categories. To nominate an artist either for the People’s Choice, or for artists wishing to nominate themselves for any of the other categories, go to www.BCIMA.org and look for the appropriate links.

In 2009, Andrew Allen stood at the podium at the B.C. Interior Music Awards thanking his local fans for naming him the people’s choice. A four-time winner at the second annual BCIMAs, locals heard something then, and now the Vernon artist’s career has surged, with his single Loving You Tonight reaching the top 10 on the Canadian music charts. And now the rest of the world will hear what locals have known all along. Allen recently signed a two-year deal with Epic Records, and has just embarked on his first U.S. tour, supporting American artist Joshua Radin. There’s still time to nominate your favourite Interior artist for this year’s BCIMA People’s Choice Award. This is the only fannominated award this year, but it carries weight in that the top six votes at the end of January will proceed to the award sponsor, Astral Media and their site to choose the finalists. These top six will then be featured on 22

Beware of the long-haired Cage Season of the Witch: ★★1/2 out of 5
I
TOURIST
AISLE SEAT
RELATIVITY MEDIA
Ron Perlman and Nicolas Cage play knights in the time of the Black Plague in Season of the Witch. you savour authenticity in your knight’s tales, this film will inevitably miff you. Those sniffing for a decent horror likely won’t find a treat with this one either. Director Dominic Sena, who teamed with Cage for 2000’s Gone In Sixty Seconds, knows how to keep a decent enough pace to at least keep his audience interested. For all of its faults, Season of the Witch is entertaining. Dumb, but entertaining.
(When you think about it, there has to be SOME enjoyment in watching Ghost Rider and Hellboy hack their way through the Crusades, right?) So give credit to Sena and his star for injecting enough ridiculous flavour to make this one watchable. Let’s just hope that it was intentional. The feature is currently playing at Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.
Kelowna’s Conduit fest evolves into Ecotone Black Press
The Conduit Ecotone Festival is an annual event that showcases more than 100 emerging and established artists. Featured this year is installation art, sculpture, graffiti art, ecoactivism, crafts, musical performances, poetry reading, fire spinning and story telling. It all takes place at Kelowna’s Rotary Centre for the Arts Feb. 5. This is the fourth annual festival The Cakewalk Collective has organized, and was created for the purpose of being a grassroots co-operative community co-venture to support and nurture the Okanagan’s creative business community and burgeoning arts scene. In 2007, the collec-
tive worked in partnership with the City of Kelowna and partners from the city’s cultural district to celebrate and showcase the talented artistic community of Kelowna. The Conduit event has transformed over the last four years to become what it is today, and now celebrates partnerships with Penticton’s En’owkin Centre and Okanagan Greens Society. Musical performers include Vernon’s Jodi Pederson, Little Jungles, Yukon Blonde, Dallas Arcand Felt Seams, and others. There will also be an open mic. Original art work will be on display all around the centre by a number of artists including Don Elzer, Jordan and David Doody, Meghan Wise, Malcolm Eidse
and Brittany Falk. The corridors will be filled with tables featuring local crafters’ wares including Curio Designs, Blowfish Glassworks, Leftover Hippies and many more. The event will also feature local and organic fair including delicious morsels pre-
pared by chef Grant Dumontreuil, as well as organic wine from Summerhill, organic beer from Crannog Ales and organic mead from Meadow Vista. The Ecotone all-ages festival will run from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. Feb. 5 at the Rotary Centre for the Arts, 421 Cawston
Ave. A minimum donation of $10 at the door is suggested, or whatever you are willing to pay to support the event. All proceeds will go towards the Okanagan Greens Society. For more information and a full list of contributors, visit www. kelownaconduit.com.

THE MOST CELEBRATED FILM OF THE YEAR DRAMA
t’s probably not fair, but my spidey sense always tingles a bit when Nicolas Cage wears bad wigs. Sometimes, even when the fake hair is at its most tussled and silly, there are pleasant surprises, such as The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. His latest faux mane can be seen in Season of the Witch, and it isn’t great, but for a pure “B” movie, it doesn’t cough up the hair ball it could Jason Armstrong either. A 14th centuryset story, Season of the Witch (which could cautiously be described as an homage to Ingmar Bergman’s The Seventh Seal, only you really don’t want to mention Bergman and this movie in the same breath) follows knights Behman (Cage) and Felson (Ron Perlman), a pair black-marked as turncoats when, sick of the mindless slaughter of the innocent, they abandon the Crusades. Returning home, the disenchanted duo discover a land swallowed up by a deadly plague. They’re offered amnesty in return for escorting a supposed witch (Claire Foy), the individual believed responsible for the outbreak, to a faraway monastery where she can be exorcised and the locals will be rid of their demonic pestilence. Or something like that. Annnnnnd... cue the Hollywood roller coaster. A long, crumbling, rickety bridge, creepy ruins, bloodthirsty wolves, and two heroes who look like they rummaged through the wardrobe department of Monty Python’s Holy Grail, yet banter back and forth like it’s a Lethal Weapon sequel.

Psa. 23: The Messiah as Shepherd. “The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want (2nd Cor. 9:12). He maketh me to lie down in green pastures (pastures of tender grass). He leadeth me beside the still waters (waters of quietness - how essential that time for quiet rumination be found). He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Psa. 84:11: “No good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.”

Glenn Benischek, chief executive officer of Vantage One Financial Services, the sponsor of Family Literacy Week Jan. 20-27, has fun with this year’s theme, Play for Literacy. said Debbie Schiller, executive director of The Junction Literacy Centre, which organizes Family Literacy Week, a national event, in Vernon. “Screen time is changing the way children’s brains develop as they are wired to respond to screen interaction and constant change, rather than to human interaction.” Benischek, a father of two, said his family reduces screen time by eating together every night with no phone or texting allowed. His son, 10, likes video games, plays hockey and plays outside with his friends. “With teens, the biggest thing is texting but my daughter, who is 14, also likes to read and she is a good manager of her time. We like to play board games and card
games as a family,” he said. Reside agrees that the family dinner can be a great way to interact, with parents and children talking about their experiences and interests and learning about nutrition. She said that dinner as a family even two nights a week can make a difference to how well children learn. Schiller said children benefit from seeing parents read and having books in the home. “They also need time to play alone to develop their imaginations and to act things out. It can be as simple as looking at a book and acting out a story rather than hearing the words. For some adults, reading isn’t comfortable but we can’t ignore what children need.” The North Okanagan Early Childhood Development Coalition

has prepared screen smart handouts for parents. It is recommended that children under age two have no screen time at all and children ages three to six have no more than one hour a day of combined computer, DVD and video games. “The issues are complex but the solutions are simple — talk, sing, read, play. Unplug and play,” said Reside. Six local schools are collecting books to be used in Fill the Fit, fill-
ing a Honda Fit on loan from Sunshine Honda, with books to be distributed to schools and family service agencies. The public is asked to help by donating gently used and/or new books. The drop-off points for children’s books are The Junction Literacy Centre, Vantage One (downtown and Okanagan Landing), the Vernon Library, SUN FM and Sunshine Honda. Book donations should be dropped off by Jan. 26.

Family Literacy Week Jan. 20 to 27 encourages parents and children to enjoy active play and quiet times like playing board games and reading together. “People are busy with two jobs but they can spend that quality time. When children have healthy bodies, they have healthy minds and they can learn much better in school and socially,” said Glenn Benischek, chief executive officer of Vantage One Financial Services, the sponsor of Family Literacy Week in Vernon and area. Vantage One also supports literacy as a sponsor of Success by Six and allows staff to take working time to volunteer in the One to One reading program in elementary schools. “It’s our way to help prepare our future generations to be active and productive adults,” said Benischek. Lynne Reside, coordinator of the North Okanagan Early Childhood Development Coalition, explained the importance of the role of parents in preparing their children for success in school and life. “Children under six learn in a concrete way. They need to use all of their senses. Parents may be fooled that children are learning by watching TV or videos but children also need a lot of large muscle activity to learn,” she said. “They learn basic skills movement by large muscle activity so they can do sports and it helps fine movement skills for printing and writing.” The theme for Family Literacy Week is Play for Literacy with a focus on how to reduce screen time and spend more time on family activities. “Screen time could become the biggest health issue of their generation. Parents have to take control. Take the TV and videos out of the bedroom and spend time with children and let them play with other children so they learn to interact socially,”

ear Annie: I’m 15 years old. Two years ago, I arrived home from school to find a burglar in my room. My bedroom door was locked, and when I got near it, the thief burst through the door. I attempted to kick him in the groin, but missed. He grabbed my throat, squeezing it tight, and then went out the window. I called 911 and waited inside a closet for help. I made out a report and told my parents. They never found the guy, and ever since, I have become extremely paranoid when left home alone, even if it’s for only an hour. In the past few months, it has gotten worse. I keep thinking there’s someone trying to get in, or I hear imaginary footsteps in the hallway. Until my parents come home, I keep a kitchen knife by my side. A secondary problem is that when I think someone is going to touch my back or neck, I tense up. I don’t know how to express my feelings to my family without

and can’t get people to leave her alone. My wife and I work opposite shifts so one of us can be home with our sons. We have done this for 11 years. If someone rang the doorbell, I would not answer. I used to have a problem with my father-in-law, who would come over and ring the doorbell or phone me about things that could have waited. I had a simple solution for this. Whenever he would wake me up during the day, I would call him at the corresponding time late at night and do the same to him. If he woke me up at noon, I would refuse to talk to him. Then, when I got to work, I would call him at midnight and ask him what he wanted to talk about. After my third call, he got the hint. Now he never calls me during the day. In fact, he never calls me at all. If he needs something, he will call my wife. This has worked pretty well, and I get a lot more sleep. — Andrew from Illinois Dear Andrew: You’ve
Community urged to ‘Walk for Memories’ Morning Star Staff
One in three Canadians know someone who had Alzheimer’s disease. The community can show its support for people with Alzheimer’s disease and their families by taking part in the Investors Group Walk for Memories in support of the Alzheimer Society of B.C. There will be walks in 20 communities around the province, with the Vernon Walk at the Wesbild Centre Jan. 30 as part of National Alzheimer Awareness Month. The Vernon walk honours the memory of Margery Wilde, a longtime teacher in the area, as well as a hiker, skier and judge of crafts and sewing at the IPE. “The compassion, knowledge and support from the Alzheimer Society helped our family through many challenging times,” said her daughter, Nancy Wilde. There are more than 70,000 B.C. residents living with dementia and if nothing changes, the prevalence of dementia could double in the next 30 years. “The society is working to change the way we all live with and challenge the disease. Everyone has a role to help turn the tide,” said Vernon Investors
This is Lyle...
Group Walk for Memories coordinator Jan Mori. “The Vernon walk is unique around the province in offering an opportunity to enjoy a morning skate. Whether in memory of a loved one or in support of a family living with dementia , we encourage you to bring your family down and skate or walk, enjoy the entertainment and support this annual fundraising event for the Alzheimer Society.” For more information, to register, or donate visit www.walkformemories.com or call Mori at 250-545-6221.

Prison plans aren’t being forgotten by Kelowna politicians. Mayor Sharon Shepherd says her office has already responded to a request from Solicitor General Rich Coleman to voice interest in a local correctional centre by April. “We did send a message back, thanking
the Okanagan Indian Band which straddle the property. The only stumbling block is that Coleman said there couldn’t be any First Nation land claims on the area, and the mayor wasn’t sure if the land designated for the prison was free of those issues. While voicing his support, Coun. Luke Stack pointed out that the province actually owns the site in question, so it theoretically

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Getting a job that you deem vital done properly will be more important to you than applause. You arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to care about who gets credit for doing this or that. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) The influence you have over your intimate circle of friends could be stronger than usual. Be sure to use it in very constructive ways, such as doing the most good for the greatest number. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your material prospects continue to look pretty good, so try to develop to the fullest any opportunity you have to bring in that extra cabbage. Make those lucky breaks count. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Listen attentively to any information coming from someone you know to be a profound thinker. Something s/he says could be beneficial to you in an extremely big way. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Some kind of a joint arrangement that you have with another could start to work out better than you had anticipated. It involves an area in which each of you has done some extra spadework. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Even though you tend to like being a loner, you are apt to discover that a situation that offers more than usual is one where you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind operating in close conjunction with another. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) If you hope to achieve something of substance, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put any limitations on your talents, knowhow and capabilities. Go all out, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to impress even yourself, as well as others.
Choose from the following choices: â&#x20AC;˘ espressos â&#x20AC;˘ chai teas â&#x20AC;˘ lattes â&#x20AC;˘ cappuccinos â&#x20AC;˘ mochas plus all the standards â&#x20AC;Ś tea, coffee. Offer valid until January 28, 2011
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not necessarily a gambler, but right now you could be rather lucky in situations that call for pronounced elements of chance. However, be sure you take a risk only for the right reasons.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Although you can be quite successful doing for yourself, when you go out of your way to perform specific services for others, larger than usual rewards are likely to result.
HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot ďŹ&#x201A;ashes and weight gain. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment includes the use of bioidentical, plant based hormones that closely duplicate hormones your body produces. Natural hormones also slow the aging process.

Bridge by Phillip Alder English physicist Sir Edward Appleton said, “I don’t mind what language an opera is sung in so long as it is a language I don’t understand.” I don’t mind what bridge language my partner wishes to use as long as I do understand it. In this deal, look at the North and West hands only. Your partner leads the diamond three against three no-trump. What would be your plan after winning with the ace? On our grandmother’s knee we learned to return partner’s lead in no-trump. (If your grandmother was not a good player, she probably told you always to return your partner’s lead, but it will often be better to shift in a suit
contract.) First, though, who has how many cards in diamonds? Since we “speak” fourth-highest, partner started with exactly four diamonds. (If he began with a five-card suit, he would hold a card lower than the one he led, which you know he does not.) So South has five diamonds. Returning the diamond two will help declarer establish his long suit. It is time to shift, and given the dummy, you should return the club four, your fourth-highest. Declarer will probably duck, permitting your partner to win with his nine. He should now follow your defense, leading the club king, the higher of his two
remaining cards. South will win that and play a sneaky diamond 10, hoping to secure his ninth trick, but as long as your partner is awake, he will win with his king and lead back the club jack. You will overtake with your queen and cash the club 10 to defeat the contract.
