Silver Star’s groomers are hard at work getting ready for the start of the season after the resort announced it would open for a bonus weekend Saturday and Sunday. Silver Star officially opens for the season Nov. 28. and Superstore Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. (cash only). Fore more information, call 250-5581362 or go to www. vjhfoundation.org. And for those looking for an extra adrenaline rush, the
opening of Putnam Creek area is just around the corner, boasting 56 runs and more than 1,800 feet of vertical. “Our guests get the first taste of the fresh powder on what has been called one of
Canada’s best backsides,” said Sherwood. “We are seeing solid snowfall, so if these conditions continue we could see Putnam Creek opening in early December.”

A Vernon lawyer will be behind bars longer than expected. The B.C. Court of Appeal ruled Monday that William Mastop’s jail sentence should be extended from one year to two-and-a-half years. “The trial judge erred by focusing on the lack of evidence of direct consequences flowing from the respondent’s actions, rather than focusing on the respondent’s intention and the egregious nature of his actions,” states the Court of Appeal decision. Mastop pleaded guilty earlier this year to participating in the activities of a criminal organization, commonly known as the William Mastop Greeks, in Vernon. However, Crown counsel initiated an appeal, saying the judge erred by focusing on the lack of evidence directly linking Mastop’s actions with the criminal organization’s operations. According to the B.C. Court of Appeal, the proof of consequences is not an element of the offence and should not have been used to mitigate the sentence. “The Crown is not required to prove the accused’s participation actually had the result of enhancing the criminal organization’s ability to commit an indictable offence. The focus of the offence is on criminalizing conduct that is objectively capable of materially enhancing an organization’s criminality,” stated the Court of Appeal. “The respondent acted as an on-call lawyer for a violent criminal organization. He used his position to obtain information, track down members, and report on police activity over a significant period of time.” Crown counsel welcomes the Court of Appeal decision. “The outcome is consistent with the range of sentence Crown was seeking with the appeal and consistent with the range of sentence Crown was seeking with the original case,” said Neil MacKenzie, with the Criminal Justice Branch. Mastop entered a guilty plea in December 2012 to participating in the activities of a North Okanagan criminal organization. He was arrested in January 2010 in Lake Country. It’s believed Mastop is the first lawyer in Canada charged with participating in the activities of a criminal organization. Legal counsel for Mastop could not be reached for comment.

Star opens early Life can’t get any better for skiers. Instead of waiting another week for the scheduled start of the alpine season, Silver Star Mountain Resort is hosting an early preview Saturday and Sunday thanks to the 90 centimetres of snow on the ground. “We are excited to give skiers and riders a chance to hit the slopes early on this bonus weekend and experience what Silver Star has to offer,” said Michael Sherwood, general manager. For the early bonus weekend, Silver Star Resort will give access to about 25 runs with the Comet Six Pack and Silver Queen Quad chairlifts. Skiers and riders will get 50 per cent off lift tickets for the bonus weekend Saturday and Sunday. Planning is also well underway for the official launch of the alpine season Nov. 28. As part of those efforts, Silver Star is selling opening weekend lift tickets for $20 each, with proceeds going towards the $2.5 million Building a Tower of Care Campaign, Phase II at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Silver Star opening weekend lift ticket vouchers are valid from Nov. 28 to Dec. 1 and they can be purchased in unlimited quantity at the following locations: ■ Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation office (next to the VJH gift shop) Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. until Nov. 22 (cash, debit and credit card). ■ Cooper’s, Save-On Foods

Dreams come true during gala auction to Campbell River with private airfare provided by the Kal Tire Jet. It sold for $10,500. Dozens of other items also sold above their retail value. “I’d like to thank all of the sponsors of our auction and of course all of the people who attended the auction and opened their pocketbooks for charity,” said Dedora. “Our community is second to none in generosity and support and our club could not be more proud to be a part of it.” The club’s donations committee will meet during the next 60 days to review funding applications received from charitable groups. “Raising this amount of money will allow the club to financially assist dozens of worthy projects,” said Dedora. Groups interested in receiving financial assistance should visit kalrotary.org to determine if they qualify and how to complete the online funding application.

A high point of Vernon’s social calendar, the 29th annual Kalamalka Rotary Dream Auction was a resounding success. The gala event at the Best Western Vernon Lodge raised a whopping $180,000 for charitable organizations Saturday. “Our expectations were greatly exceeded. I can’t believe the support,” said Taylor Dedora, event chairperson. More than 450 people attended the event, which included dinner and the auction. Keeping the bids moving were Don and Peter Raffan, of Valley Auction. “I can’t thank the Raffans enough,” said Jerry Tellier, Kalamalka Rotary Club president. “They’re here for us every year. They know the crowd and they do an extraordinary job of maximizing the bidding.” The highest ticket item this year was the fishing and golf trip

Vernon firefighters tackle a vehicle fire at 43rd Street and 25A Avenue Friday night. The RCMP are currently investigating the cause of the blaze.
Vehicle fire deemed suspicious richard rolke Morning Star Staff
The cause of a roaring vehicle fire is under investigation. Flames engulfed a sport utility vehicle at a home at 43rd Street and 25A Avenue just before 10:30 p.m. Nov. 15.
“It had been sitting there for some time and the owner doesn’t know why it would catch on fire because it had ran out of gas,” said Gord Molendyk, Vernon RCMP spokesperson. “It’s definitely suspicious.” The investigation involves
the RCMP and the Vernon Fire Department. “There are a few questions that need to be answered,” said Molendyk. The fire caused extensive damage to the fence next to the vehicle.

Local faces Alberta charges Morning Star Staff
A Vernon man is being sought in an alleged case of drug trafficking in Alberta. Thomas John Ross, 46, is alleged to have supplied large quantities of marijuana to Alberta and he now faces charges of trafficking and possession for the purpose of trafficking. According to the Calgary Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit, Ross has not been located and a Canada-wide warrant has been issued for his
arrest. Anyone with information on his whereabouts can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477. In relation to the same case, 17 charges have been laid against two Alberta brothers. Rodney Garinger, 45, from Calgary, and Kevin Garinger, 43, from Lethbridge, face charges of keeping a common gaming house, bookmaking, recording or registering bets, making bets in person, making bets
over the phone, drug trafficking (marijuana), conspiracy to traffic (cocaine) and possession of the proceeds of crime. CFSEU alleges that during a recent 40-day period, the brothers profited $65,000 on hockey and football bets. Investigators also seized 10 pounds of marijuana, which had a street value of more than $45,000. The multi-agency investigation took about 21 months to complete.

Time is running out for a derelict structure in downtown Enderby. City council has extended compliance with remedial action requirements to six weeks from Nov. 19 for the Little City Fashions building on Cliff Avenue. “We’re going to extend the period because there is litigation between the building owners and the insurance company,” said Mayor Howie Cyr. “This will allow them to get any physical evidence for a court case before they do remediation.” Fire roared through the building Jan. 28, 2011 and the city has been trying to have the structure

Vernon has stepped up to send its support to the victims of the Philippines typhoon tragedy. Hundreds came out to support the first fundraising effort Saturday, which raised more than $16,000. “People of Vernon are extremely generous,” said Nenette Sharma, one of the organizers of the fundraising bake sale at the Village Green Centre. “From the supplier of our bake goods, to the compassionate hearts who rallied behind us, we raised over $16,000 and still ongoing.” Club Filipino of Okanagan-Shuswap and North Okanagan Filipino-Canadian Association organized the event following the catastrophic typhoon Haiyan, which hit the Philippines Nov. 8. The Filipino community is also having a prayer rally Thursday at St. James Catholic Church from 7 to 8 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend the nondenominational event. “I think prayer power is significantly important as the spirit is the only source of hope and determination,” said Sharma. “One that can never be physically taken away.” Those who would like to support the cause can still drop donations off at City Furniture and Rosalinda’s Filipino Kitchen until Dec. 5. Rosalinda’s is also having another fundraiser, a pancake breakfast Sunday from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Spallumcheen isn’t wasting any time when it comes to an alternative justice model. While staff recommended considering a Restorative Justice Society request during 2014 budget deliberations, council decided Monday to automatically include the $1,468 in the township’s financial plan. “It’s important for the society to know that we are committing funding so they can plan their budget,” said Coun. Christine Fraser. Through restorative justice, people who have committed an offence meet with the victim to

talk about what happened and what can be done to correct the situation. If possible, it is a way for the offender to remain out of jail and turn their life around. “There’s been good success at rehabilitating people and it helps people who have been harmed,” said Fraser. While he supported the
funding, Coun. Ed Hanoski questioned why local communities have to provide support for a justice program. “If it’s working so well, why aren’t the federal and provincial governments kicking in?” he said. But Coun. Andrew Casson believes costs can be controlled more if a non-profit
society and local communities are involved. “If the RCMP come in and do it, we still pay for it and the $1,468 would just be a fraction of travel costs,” he said. In a letter to council, Warren Smith, Restorative Justice Society — North Okanagan president, says his group is pursuing other revenue sources to offset the cost to municipalities. “The RJS-NO, as a standalone society, has the opportunity to seek other funding through grants, calls for proposals, as well as charitable donors, corporate sponsors and hosting fundraising events,” he said.

Working the numbers
H
ow much is enough? That is the question many residents and politicians are debating after the Greater Vernon Governance Society released the final results of its petition campaign. Are 2,930 signatures sufficient to trigger a study into a potential merger of Vernon, Coldstream and the two electoral areas? Proponents seem to think so. “We believe this is a significant and credible survey of the entire community,” said Bruce Shepherd, society president. And Shepherd has a point as 2,930 people taking the time to get directly involved in an issue is significant given the increasingly Richard Rolke apathetic nature of the electorate. It should also be pointed out that the number of signatures compared to the 2011 civic election participation rate is 25.3 per cent in Coldstream and 22.9 per cent in Vernon. The turnout for April’s sports complex referendum was a dismal 19.5 per cent. So the petition architects can easily make a strong case that there is sufficient public interest in reviewing Greater Vernon governance and the politicians should create an atmosphere that allows such a process to proceed. That view is supported by Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA. “The numbers warrant a good look by everyone. I’m glad that enough people are interested to see what the next steps are,” he said. However, those individuals less keen on the idea of amalgamation challenge the numbers. “It’s uninspiring. They spent that much time and got 2,930 names,” said Bob Fleming, BX-Swan Lake director.

Yes, the signatures compare well to the 2011 civic election results, but it’s only about seven per cent of the total 45,000 eligible voters in Greater Vernon. That reality could become a stumbling block when trying to sway civic and provincial leaders to spend time and money on a restructuring study. It will also be pointed out by some that municipalities and regional districts receive petitions all of the time. As an example, Vernon council was recently handed a 3,191-name petition pushing for expanded transit. It was denied. In another case, 1,670 signatures regarding Okanagan Landing firefighters was ignored. Just because a lot of people put pen to paper doesn’t mean politicians will lend their support or that the item is necessarily the best for the public as a whole given other factors. Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director, is quick to dismiss the governance petition because 2,032 of the 2,930 names are from Vernon. “It’s not overwhelming support from the other jurisdictions to join Vernon,” he said. The problem with numbers is you can turn them into anything you want them to be. For the petition organizers, they are confident the numbers clearly work in their favour and there is grassroots demand for change. But on the other side, the numbers can indicate that a majority of Greater Vernon voters are either satisfied with the current governance structure or are ambivalent. The next step is for society members to lobby Vernon, Coldstream and regional district politicians to investigate the pros and cons of possible amalgamation. Will some of the officials stick to their interpretation of the numbers or will they see 2,930 names as democracy in action? It’s difficult to know what will happen, but there is one guarantee. The debate is far from over.
Spallumcheen’s council meeting Monday was a good indication that senior government has bungled the issue of growing medicinal marijuana. Ottawa has decided to shift production from residential settings to larger facilities, but there has been absolutely no consultation with communities about their concerns regarding land use, security and servicing such sites. “They haven’t given us any confidence they will address the concerns of our community,” said Greg Betts, Spallumcheen’s chief administrative officer. Spallumcheen officials made it clear Monday that they want production only on industrial zoned land as there is a reduced chance of creating conflicts for residential properties However, there is a very real chance that the township’s interests may be shot down as Ottawa may find the industrial zone too restrictive. On top of this, the provincial Agricultural Land Commission has declared that growing medicinal marijuana is an appropriate activity in the Agricultural Land Reserve. Once again, the township’s industrial zone-only edict could be overruled. There is so much uncertainty among local jurisdictions about the implications from large-scale marijuana grow-ops but they are forced to take action because the federal government’s new rules come into place in April. “I’m concerned about getting something on the books,” said Betts. With so many questions arising from city halls and regional districts, the federal and provincial governments need to back off their plans and clarify the rules. And this time around, civic leaders need a seat at the table.

and produce artisan cheeses. Events like the cheese festival offer critical support for new producers to reach consumers and grow their business. Local farm cheeses help put places like Salt Spring Island, the Cowichan Valley and the Comox Valley on the map. All of these areas have developed into local, artisan food meccas. There is no reason our beautiful region of the North Okanagan can’t do the same. If the overwhelming attendance for Armstrong’s first cheese festival is any indication, our next 100 years could be good indeed for our local farmers and food producers. I can’t wait for the second annual, and no doubt greatly expanded, cheese festival. cathie Price on right track I notice legislation in our fair land always concludes with "please."

to connect the meaning of the anti-idling bylaw with our need to breathe. I just watched on the Golf Channel the final round of play from Shanghai, China. The commentator noted the air quality was given as "unhealthy." In camera shots from the tee-box, overlooking the fairway to the hole, the thick haze of smog could be plainly seen. The cityscape just past the golf club could only be just made out in the haze, the horizon couldn't be seen at all. Rather than spending a lot of money on signage, how about making sure city bylaw staff have the funds to increase their ability to enforce this important bylaw. Dealing with consequence (from their wallet) will make a violator pick up, take notice and change. And connect non-payment of penalty to the privilege of driver's license renewal. Let's walk on the wild side, enact and enforce, this legislation please. John raikes

20 per cent of the traditional costs of concrete or steel beams as roof spans can be more than three times the distance making it easy to build a free standing building inside. The Water Cube swimming pool at the Beijing Olympics perfected the technology as the outer walls cool or heat the building depending on the need. A small fan does the job. If we invest our funds in one attraction, we can create that one missing piece that will put us on the map. With Teflon we can create something special like in Bilbao (google it) or the Sydney Opera House, for a lot less. Maybe not so busy a design but one with flowing curves. Canadian style. I would also bet King Louis that if he gave each of us a free cultural pass, that you would become ambassadors and invite your friends to visit, taking them as paying visitors, adding to the success. Besides, wouldn't it be nice to get something back for our vote other than a tax bill increase? Arts and culture is an $85 billion-plus industry in Canada and we would do our economy right if we backed building a single cultural centre that catches your eye and your imagination. Something that has turnstiles with tourists and locals lined up to stream right through. There are millions of people within a day's drive of us and we should build something here that ends up on their bucket lists. This is a perfect opportunity to turn our economy around with our rich culture and I think we deserve more than the status quo. Remember 7 to 1 and help create something special. Get involved in the discussion and support our culture as it should be. Richard, we have the talent and the stories and if we build an iconic centre offering a full day of entertainment, it will be a magic bullet and they will come. David hesketh

say cheese A great big thank you to the ArmstrongSpallumcheen Chamber of Commerce and organizers of the first Cheese: 100 Years in the Making Festival held Nov. 2 at the Odd Fellows Hall. Thank you for coming up with such a great idea as a 100th anniversary celebration for Armstrong. If numbers are any indication, this event exposed unimagined support for our local cheeses. People showed up in droves from the time the doors opened. And thanks also to The Morning Star for the story they did, which no doubt increased attendance significantly. The historical pictures decorating the hall showed the past 100 years of dairy farming and cheese making in and around Armstrong. The region is rich in dairy history. Today, the North Okanagan is a draw for talented cheese-makers to come and live,
The referendum question is about the money and how we borrow the funds. The vote in the spring has nothing to do with the design so starting fresh with the design would not hold that process up. We can draw top architects from around the world to compete in a design competition using sustainable technologies and carbonless footprints. All we require is a list of needs which we have and a location. The architects brief could go like this. "A timber framed building of galleries, with level floors or a ramped floor winding around a central square, built inside an iconic whimsical shaped thermal outer building made of Teflon, wire and steel which begs to be sustainable in both earth friendly and energy efficient ways, all for a budget around $20 million." That brief, a list of needs and a site visit is all the architects require. Why Teflon? Teflon offers a creatively shaped shell that cleans itself in the rain and can vent or warm the space inside saving on operating costs as well as daytime lighting. The main plus with Teflon structures is it can be built for

OI: 7 to 1. This stood out to me when I was researching the economic benefits of an art gallery. The return on investment when you support arts and culture is seven times what you spend. ROI: 7 to 1. My good friend Richard Rolke has it wrong this time in his column when he claimed there was no magic bullet for our economy. They exist and are called culture. You can find magic bullets in our arts and our history. We have some international gems to show. Our current plan of building modest museums is better than nothing but we could do more under one roof for similar dollars with today's building technologies. An iconic cultural centre could be 10 times better than the performing arts theatre has been for us. This is a golden opportunity. ROI: 7 to 1 If you invest $20 million, you get back $140 million. Show me an economic plan with that kind of return. If we are looking for an economic generator to turn this community around, it is surely in a new cultural showpiece. I applaud our local leaders who are planning for a vote in the spring. It is time we built these facilities but we need to make sure we get the most out of it. King Louis had a number of magic bullets as he celebrated his culture and led France to a leading economic nation in the world. He was a builder. If King Louis gave me the chance to shoot some magic bullets here for him by building something special, I would support our culture like he did his. I would build something iconic and whimsical. But Canadian style. I would put the two museums under one roof as it then will become a full day's entertainment and a big reason to explore Vernon. An anchor tenant for the community if you will. Separately on their own would be much less of an impact. Together in one building, they become a destination.

Community-minded individuals are needed for the Salvation Army’s Christmas kettle campaign. The campaign, which raises funds for the Vernon food bank and other programs, runs from Thursday to Dec. 24. “ Vo l u n t e e r i n g , whether at Christmas or another time, can be a very rewarding experience,” said David MacBain, with the Salvation Army. To be a host for twohour or three-hour shifts, call Kendra at 250-307-7770. To maintain current services, the Salvation Army needs to collect $460,000 between the kettles and the mail campaign. “The kettle portion of that goal is $140,000, $15,000 more than we received last year,” said MacBain. “However, since we want to be in a position to expand services as needs arise, to pass that $460,000 target would be a true blessing.” The campaign is being launched at a pancake breakfast by donation at the Talkin’ Donkey Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.,
with all funds going to the Salvation Army food bank and Sunshine Bags. MacBain believes the community will rally behind residents in need. “In the past, whenever we have expressed a need, they have displayed great generosity.

It’s time to get Aokified in the Okanagan Israeli DJ Borgore joins Steve Aoki and hip hop artist Waka Flocka Flame in bringing the party to Kal Tire Place Thursday
Morning Star Staff/Contributed
For those who don’t know about the electronic dance music scene, you soon will when the beats start thumping in the Okanagan. One of the hottest trends in music today, EDM, as it is better known, has seen disc jockeys remove themselves from those dark booths in dingy nightclubs to headline arena-sized shows that are drawing millions of fans. Some of the hottest DJ/producers on the scene are in Vernon Thursday to do just that as the Aokify North America Tour makes its only stop in the B.C. Interior at Kal Tire Place. Put on by the same gang that hosts the Center of Gravity music festival in Kelowna, and other Valley-based promoters, the tour features headliner Steve Aoki, hip hop artist Waka Flocka Flame, Montreal production duo Botnek and Israeli DJ/producer Borgore. Known for his recent work with singer/provocateur Miley Cyrus as well as his Wild Out EP on Aoki’s Dim Mak Records, Borgore is a producer of dubstep and trap, which is based on the use of an 808 Roland drum machine. He is also influenced by heavy metal and used to play drums in a death metal band in his native Tel Aviv. Borgore was recently asked about how his music has evolved, on his collaborations, and how the Aokify tour is going. Here’s what he had to say via email: Tell me about (your) Wild Out EP? What influences contributed to the project? Borgore: I think it is a very eclectic EP because we have a bunch of different genres and a bunch of different sounds. Waka Flocka is one of my favourite rappers and we started working on this tune a long time ago and made the track sound like house. How did the collaboration begin? Did you meet somewhere? B: I remixed Waka two years ago and I told him I would love to work with vocals from him. He sent me something and I made the song a year and a half ago. I was really scared to put the song out because I was scared it wasn’t up to par as far as the hip-hop beats from trap producers out there go. I played it to him in Spain a year and a half ago and he loved it. He gave me a boost to finish off the track. Do you see more electronic artists
Steven Pahel (aBOve)/DOve ShOre (BelOw)
Borgore is one of the producers to turn heads at the Aokify North America Tour, headlined by Steve Aoki (below), that stops at Vernon’s Kal Tire Place on Thursday.
doing collaborations with hip-hop artists like Waka? B: I think so. It has kind of taken over. I think a lot of people would like to be part of it. What I tried to do with Waka is not change his nature. The part of him in the song is very 808 sounding. I would love to see more rappers over electronic music as long as no one is going to try and sound like an EDM singer all of a sudden. It is a beautiful mix, but everyone needs to keep their sound. You don’t want electronic music to change other people’s sound, but do you think working with some of these hip-hop artists has influenced your sound at all?
B: I think the whole genre called trap is based on a real genre called trap in hip-hop. Producers like 808 Mafia (Lex Luger and Southside) and even Mike Will, all these guys used to do trap and then EDM adopted the 808 thing with house stuff on top of it. Now we call it trap. Yes 100 per cent. You hear it in my early work, songs like Nympho. I did all these trap sections in the intro. You also collaborated with Miley Cyrus on Decisions. Do you see yourself collaborating with any other pop artists in the future? B: One hundred per cent, I would love to. I honestly want to collaborate with everyone from all types of genres. I had metal bands, I had pop artists, I had hip-hop artists, I had Middle Eastern Israeli type of singing. I’m ADD in nature and it keeps me on my toes to keep doing different stuff, not always the same (stuff). The Aokify America Tour is a very interesting lineup: Steve Aoki, Waka Flocka Flame, and Borgore. What has been the reaction from the crowd in terms of your performances? How do they react different to you, Steve, and Waka? B: There are a lot of house DJs and a lot of rappers. But what is unique with Steve, Waka, and myself is that our lineup is very party-oriented. It’s just a crazy party from beginning to end. It’s like the gnarliest party I have ever been to. There are always people on the stage, always things going into the crowd. The whole environment is like a crazy party you see in the movies. It’s like a
college party. How has the tour been going so far? Are you guys all getting along? Are you guys partying together? B: Steve and Waka are just genuinely really nice people and I love hanging out with them. I party hard with Waka and I work out with Steve. Honestly, I think it is one of the best tours I have ever been on. I am really getting along with everyone. I genuinely think that if I were still an 18-year-old kid, thinking about going to party like this would be mind blowing. How’s the bus/tour life treating you? B: Our bus is pretty turnt up. I’ll just leave it like that. There were a couple of times where my tour manager went to the bus and just shook his head like, “What are we doing? How are we going to fix this?” What song has had the biggest crowd reactions from your sets and the other artists on the tour? B: I drum with Waka on one of his songs, Hard in Da Paint. For me, it’s one of the most exciting parts of his set. For my set, I think that Wild Out is one of the songs that everyone goes absolutely mental over. In Steve’s set, it’s pretty turnt up the whole time. I go on during Steve’s set during a song we have been testing on this tour. When I go on for this song, it is really insane, too. I think the whole crowd from the beginning to end of these shows loves it. We had good openers as well and the crowd goes crazy for them. *** A 2013 Grammy nominee, and fifth highest earning DJ in the world (according to Forbes Magazine), Aoki is also dominating the music world with his recent releases, including new single Bring You To Life (Transcend) with house producer Rune RK and featuring vocalist RAS. He also collaborated with Linkin Park on current release, A Light That Never Comes, and his other single Boneless, a collaboration with Chris Lake and Tujamo from Aoki’s upcoming album Neon Future, due out in 2014, hit #1 on Beatport and has received over 3.7 million views on YouTube. This tour is Aoki’s first return to Canada since making his epic 80-foot-long cake toss at the VELD festival in Toronto this past August that went viral. (You can see the very happy recipient of the cake in face on YouTube.) The Aokify North America Tour hits Vernon Thursday. Doors to Kal Tire Place open at 6 p.m. General admission (all ages) tickets are now $39, with a VIP lounge (19-plus) and meet and greet tickets also available. Get them at aokifyvernon.zoobis.com or www.ticketseller.ca, or in person at the Downtown Internet Lounge or Dunas Skate and Snow in Vernon.

SHOPARAMA December 7 & 8 Rec Center
ClassiCal Notes
section departed for the next piece, Poème for Violin and Orchestra by Ernest Chausson. This could perhaps be described as a tone poem, also like a slow movement from a violin concerto. The soloist, Colleen Venables, is still a student at Pleasant Valley Secondary School in Armstrong, and has already achieved extraordinary success, having performed with many leading orchestras. A subdued opening in the cellos and bases developed through the violas and woodwinds, to introduce the solo. Venables played divinely and confidently. The piece was complex, gorgeous and sensitive music, straying, I think, into gypsy territory, and probably demanding of any musician. Her standing ovation was instantaneous and well deserved. A tough act to follow, her second piece was another single movement: the Caprice Waltz by Saint-Saëns. If anything, this was even more intricate, with staccato double-stopping (two strings bowed at the same time) and dizzying runs – again with a gypsy flavour. Venables is certainly going places. She has studied with Pinchas Zukerman, was the only Canadian competitor selected at the Yehudi Menuin International Violin Competition in Beijing, and yesterday competed at the Symphony Competition in Montreal. We look forward to her return to our stage, presumably to play a full concerto. The second half of the program opened with Wagner’s Siegfried Idyll, written for his wife’s birthday and first
performed on the staircase outside their residence. Written for a much smaller orchestra than one might expect, this was a gentle pastoral piece, yet still displaying some of the motifs and bittersweet sounds that are typical of his larger works. With all 120 musicians back on stage, what could be a better ending than Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture? Pressed to compose this to mark an official Russian occasion, Tchaikovsky churned it out in just a week, and with a total lack of enthusiasm, stating: “There will be probably be no artistic merits in it.” Oh, if only he could have been alive to see its success. Opening with a simple hymn in the cellos, this remarkable passage contains a chord played an astonishing 13 consecutive times, and yet it’s perfect. Answering sections from the woodwinds alternate with the cellos before the full orchestra bursts into life for the interlude and the famous march makes its first appearance. The finale, with the full orchestra repeating the opening theme, is famous for the addition of cannon explosions. Tchaikovsky wrote 16 of these into the score, and in London’s Royal Albert Hall these are fired in the promenade balcony, where the smell of cordite makes the piece even more dramatic. On Sunday, these were played by Tim Watson (OSO stage manager) from a laptop recording, but with the new Performing Arts Centre sound system, they were no less effective.

unday’s concert by the Okanagan Symphony was dedicated to the Youth Symphony of the Okanagan, in celebration of their 25th anniversary. Music director and conductor Rosemary Thomson brought the YSO in to perform alongside the regular orchestra, and to mark the occasion they opened with the world premiere of Coldstream composer Imant Raminsh’s latest composition, With the Glorious Sound Jim Elderton of Cymbals. Imant is the founder and inspiration of the youth orchestra. Describing the dedication of the young players, Thomson reminded us: “You can’t learn to swim in the library, you’ve got to get into the pool!” For this concert, the Performing Arts Centre stage was “expanded” to its absolute maximum, with all regular masking drapes removed, so as to accommodate no less than 120 musicians. The piece opened joyously, with much brass and timpani, like an extended fanfare. Quieter, thoughtful sections alternated, and finally, after repeating the opening section, it reached a triumphant finish. Raminsh, a regular OSO musician, had the luxury of watching from the audience. He returned to his normal place on stage when most of the youth

Musicians remember Kienlein Morning Star Staff
A musician, photographer, organ transplant recipient, and friend and inspiration to many is being remembered by his musician friends Sunday. Vernon’s Kevin Kienlein, who received a heart and double lung transplant in December, 2010 and died Oct. 6 in Edmonton following complications arising from a viral infection, was a known fiddler, singer and guitarist in town. He also performed with many fellow musicians, and in turn those artists are holding a Celebration of Life for Kienlein at the Elk’s Hall Sunday from 2 to 10 p.m. “If you knew Kevin, knew of him, would like to know him better, you are invited to enjoy eight hours of music performed by Kevin’s friends. You are also invited to bring your instruments and your voices to join us in a jam finale,” said event organizer Kath Raeber. Performers include Feet First, Jesse Mast, Kath and the Tomkats. Junkyard Dogs, Wire and Wood, Steel Wound, Brandon Schmor, Steve Saba, Carolyn Anele, Strawberry Pie and many others. Money raised from the event, through 50/50 draws and donations, will go towards a headstone for Kienlein. In addition, Kienlein had more than 50 ties that his family has donat-

Breaking the cycle of bullying Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff
Girls can be mean. Boys will be boys. These are just a few of the clichés people use when kids are bullied. But Barbara Coloroso said bullying is not a normal part of childhood. Using both humour and compassion, Coloroso brought her more than 30 years of experience to Vernon last week in her presentation, The Bully, the Bullied and the Bystander. The Colorado-based author, speaker, former classroom teacher, mother and grandmother, spoke to a packed ballroom of parents, educators and students at the Best Western Vernon Lodge. “I’m here to help you recognize the antithesis of the bystander, a kid who isn’t easily led, but has the gift of skepticism and wonder and why, why, why,” said Coloroso, 66. “I want your 16-year-old to have that wow and the why, so when other kids say ‘let’s go and vandalize that building,’ I want your son to have the courage to say no or your daughter to have the courage to go and sit with the new girl in the cafeteria, to embrace kids with different skin colour, different religion. “I’m counting on young people to say ‘no more, not here, never.’” Using historical examples, Coloroso pointed to the genocide in Rwanda, where she worked as a volunteer, when as much as 3/4 of the Tutsi population was murdered by Hutu extremists. “In 100 days, about one million people were macheted to death because they were made into an it, they were dehumanized. “The same thing happened when the Nazis exterminated six million Jews — to them, they were not killing humans, they were killing vermin and cockroaches. “So we can’t tolerate our children verbally dehumanizing another human being and then saying, ‘oh, we were just joking.’” She said the three conditions that are necessary for genocide to occur are also in place for bullying: unquestioning obedience to authority; routinization of cruelty and dehumanization of a person or class of people. “But how do we raise a generation of kids who will stand up to these injustices?” Coloroso said it’s essential to teach children how to make choices from a young age, beginning with something simple such as the colour of pyjamas they choose to wear. “Have them make choices and allow them to have the consequences of their own choices, unless of course it’s life-threatening. I like to give kids opportunities to make decisions and mistakes. If a kid doesn’t learn how to make choices early, they will listen to their peers instead.” While parents may feel frustrated if their child is strong-willed, Coloroso said these are the kids who tend not to get bullied. “The compliant child is easily led by others. We want to raise them to be that strong, bravehearted kid.” She said bullying is about contempt, allowing kids to harm others without feeling empathy, compassion or shame. “When I hear girls describe each other

Barbara Coloroso signs copies of one of her popular books, The Bully, the Bullied, and the Bystander, following her DPAC-sponsored presentation of the same title in Vernon last week. as sluts, that’s how it begins. It’s the language we use that turns somebody into an it. And it starts in our houses, in our schools and in our community because we have to be taught how to hate, bullying is a learned behaviour. How do you treat that new neighbour whose skin colour is different from your own — your children are watching. “We all have bigoted relatives spewing racist and sexist comments disguised as a joke, when all the other relatives say, ‘can’t you take a joke.’ But when your children hear that, what your child witnesses you doing is what your daughter will do in Grade 8 to the new girl.” Coloroso said the humour that kids are exposed to through TV programs also has a role to play. “Humour is so mean now, and we have to teach kids the difference between teasing, which is what kids do to each other as friends, and taunting, which is what bullies do. “With friends, teasing is only a small part of the relationship. But with taunting it is the relationship: it’s bullying.” Coloroso said teasing between friends isn’t intended to hurt the other person and is meant to get both parties to laugh. Taunting involves cruel or bigoted comments thinly disguised as jokes. “You can be targeted for so many reasons. Most targeted kids are very sensitive human beings. Bullies are cowards who try to isolate a kid. “We have to teach kids very young to have a healthy regard for their sexuality, their ethnicity. We are also seeing bullying around disabilities, including allergies, and kids who are overweight.” Coloroso said adults often handle bullying badly, by isolating the bullied child. “We tell them to avoid the bully, to eat somewhere else, but why is it up to the targeted kid to eat somewhere else? What are we doing with the bullies? Why don’t they have to sit at the front of the bus?”
And with the exposure kids now have to social media, cyber bullying is all too real. “Bullies are using high tech tools to threaten, stalk, ridicule, humiliate, taunt and spread rumours about their targets. The characteristics of bullying are magnified with the use of electronic technologies. “Adults are digital immigrants, whereas young people are digital natives. We have to teach them to be digital savvy, but we have to get up to speed on this. We have to teach them that there is no delete on the Internet — it is out there forever, so before it goes out there, we need to ask, ‘is it true, is it necessary, is it kind?’” In her book, The Bully, the Bullied, and the Bystander, Coloroso calls bystanders the supporting cast who aid and abet the bully, through acts of omission and commission. They stand idly by or look away, or they actively encourage the bully or join in and become one of a bunch of bullies. “Injustice overlooked or ignored becomes a contagion that infects even those who thought they could turn away. “Bullying is challenged when the majority stands up against the cruel acts of the minority. “We need to keep the target safe, keep the witness safe and we need to deal with the bully,” said Coloroso, adding that restorative justice is effective: retribution, restitution, resolution. “Empower your kid, and make sure the school knows what’s going on. Adults need to say, ‘I believe you, I hear you.’ Your kid needs to have somewhere safe to tell. We need to empower kids, we need to teach them some good comebacks. Assertion dissipates aggression. “I want your kid to do something good for someone else, which I also recommend for the bully.

hristmas puddings! Either you love them or hate them but they’re not likely to disappear,
as they are a tradition for countless people worldwide at Christmas time. The first recipe

pudding. The second is one of my favourite carrot varieties, a traditional recipe from my mom’s collection. As kids we never really had a taste for this rich fruity pudding, but we absolutely loved the sauce Mom made to pour over it; it was something seldom served during the rest of the year. So in order to have this sauce we had to have at least a rounded tablespoon of the pudding with it. Eventually all eight of us came to really enjoy it, and today I appreciate my mom’s efforts in that regard. The tradition has been passed to one of my sisters who gifts us all with a pudding for Christmas each year. english Christmas Pudding 3 cups fresh bread crumbs 2 cups shredded suet (or 2/3 cup butter, softened) 1-1/3 cups dark raisins 1-1/3 cups light raisins 1-1/3 cups currants 1 cup mixed candied peel

Life coaching meets yoga in workshop Morning Star Staff
If you are feeling like your life is moving way too fast and you can’t seem to catch up or regain balance, Lisa Dumas, yoga leader at Arise Yoga, and Jodi Seery life coach at Shift Life Design Coaching, invite you to carve out time for yourself to re-connect to your stillness and learn some effective tools to turning off the inner critic and busy monkey-mind that keeps you from experiencing presence and peace within your body. The two women have combined their expertise and passions in a one-day workshop called Mind and Body Freedom – A Yoga and Life Coaching Experience this Saturday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Arise Yoga on
Kal Lake Road in Vernon. “Our conditioned response to feeling like we are not accomplishing enough is to try to do more,” said Seery. “The more effective solution is to get still. With stillness comes clarity that so well informs you, you stop wasting time on what is not serving you, creating space to accomplish what does. “This class is an opportunity to re-connect to your personal GPS system, that inner guidance and clarity that is always whispering and always available. We’re taking this class even further by showing you how to deal with the inner self-judgement, the relentless critic that lives in the track of your mind play-
ing over and over again, derailing you and causing confusion, struggle and strife in your life.” Dumas will lead participants through gentle poses and guided meditation. “Our intention is to connect breath, body and brain to create the space for transformation and peace,” she said. “This will be a powerful workshop for those wanting to better experience and navigate their right life with greater clarity and personal freedom.” Registration is $79 plus tax. Pre-registration is necessary as class size is limited to ensure adequate space and comfort for all participants. Register at jodiseery.com.

Santa had such a great time with all the pets who came to see him at Tri Lake Animal Hospital last year that he is back again this year. “We all know this is Santa’s busiest time of year so we are very pleased that he has found time in his training schedule to come and visit the furred, feathered and scaled pets of Tri Lake Animal Hospital,” said Cara Reed, client services manager with the Winfield veterinary clinic. “He is coming early so everyone has time to get their photos out to friends and family before Christmas.” Santa will be at Tri Lake on Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. Bring in your pet for a digital photo with Santa for $10. Additional pets can have their photo for $5.
Duggan Photography will be on hand to capture the moment, and proceeds from the day will be donated by Tri Lake Animal Hospital to two local animal charities, Beagle Paws Rescue and Critteraid. Both groups will have reps on site and may have a few pets looking for their forever homes. As well, there will be a raffle, with proceeds going to the groups. Coffee and home-baked cookies will be available at no charge, although donations are welcome. “We will also be offering behind-the-scenes tours of Tri Lake Animal Hospital,” said Reed. “Our veterinarians are able to use the Okanagan’s only pet CT scanner, a digital radiology and ultrasound suite.” Tri Lake Animal Hospital is at 10564 Powley Court in Winfield.

Scott Anderson
Brooks gains support Morning Star Staff
A B.C. Conservative leadership hopeful is receiving support from the North Okanagan. Scott Anderson, the party’s VernonMonashee candidate in the May provincial election, has endorsed Dan Brooks’ bid for the party leadership. “I am endorsing Dan because I believe the people of B.C. are ready for a new brand of politician,” said Anderson. “Dan has the usual attributes of first class leadership - intelligence, charisma, youth and drive - but he brings something else, something new and fresh to politics: an honesty and integrity that we haven’t seen in B.C. for decades.” Brooks is from Kamloops while the other candidate is Rick Peterson of Vancouver. The B. C . Conservative Party’s leadership convention is scheduled for April 11 in Vancouver.

Local Diabetes & Healthy Eating pens poems Morning Star Staff
Using the power of the written word, a local man is sharing his struggles, and triumphs, living with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. Vernon’s Carson Holtz, 33, has written Simple Day and Long Nights, which he will be signing copies of at Coles Saturday from noon to 3 p.m. “It’s a book of poetry about how I’ve been doing these past few months,” said Holtz, who has sold 40 copies so far just though word of mouth. Holtz was diagnosed with FASD at eightyears-old but he has learned to cope with the symptoms which include trouble remembering things and disorganization. Along with penning more than 1,000 poems in relation to FASD, Holtz has also been an advocate for prevention of the disease. He says it is 100 per cent preventable and urges pregnant women to abstain from alcohol during pregnancy.

Fewer ferries will be sailing in April tom fletcher Black Press
Sailing cuts are coming in April to most of BC Ferries’ minor and northern routes, as the corporation looks to save $18.9 million in the next two years. Tr a n s p o r t a t i o n Minister Todd Stone and BC Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan announced the reductions Monday, along with a plan to begin charging seniors half passenger fares that are currently offered free from Monday to Thursday. BC Ferries is also planning a pilot project with slot machines on the main routes from Vancouver Island to the mainland, to test the revenue potential. Fare increases of four per cent and 3.9 per cent are to go ahead in the next two years, but Stone said the goal is to hold future increases to the rate of inflation or less after that. “We heard loud and clear from people in the coastal communities that fares cannot continue to escalate as they have, and people want the ferry service to be there,” Stone said. Ferry reductions outlined by the ministry review will go ahead in next spring, after another round of consultations with coastal communities to look for schedule adjustments to make the remaining runs serve residents as effectively as possible. The route reductions, feedback forms and a schedule of community meetings are posted at the review website, www.coastalferriesengagement.ca. There are no further reductions proposed for the main Vancouver Island runs, but Stone said the ministry’s target is to find another $5 million in savings on those routes following reductions last year to the Tsawwassen-Duke Point route. The cancelled runs are mostly early morning or late evening, many with passenger loads of 20 per cent or less. The largest reduction is a one-third cut to Port Hardy-Prince
Rupert run, BC Ferries’ longest and most heavily subsidized service that lost $31 million on operations last year.
Other runs being cut include Horseshoe Bay to Bowen Island, Comox to Powell River, Gabriola Island to
Nanaimo and Quadra Island to Campbell River. NDP ferry critic Claire Trevena said the
service reductions will have an “outrageous impact” on communities such as Quadra Island where she lives.

Panthers, Lakers take Valleys Morning Star Staff
Vernon schools will be represented at every senior girls level at the provincial volleyball championships. Keith Becker’s VSS Panthers won the Okanagan Valley AAA title in Kamloops, Maria Hansen’s Kalamalka Lakers claimed the AA crown in Penticton and Jason Reedyk’s Vernon Christian Royals earned the final berth at the A playoffs in Kelowna. The Panthers outlasted the host NorKam Saints 25-16, 22-25, 25-18, 25-14 in Saturday’s finals. They move to the B.C. playdowns, Nov. 27-30 in Delta. Strong hitting and big blocking from middle hitters Karley Fugel and Ashtyn McKenzie were keys to the turnaround in set one which saw NorKam grab a 5-0 lead. VSS had five returning seniors from their fourth-place team at the 2012 provincials in Vancouver and two of them – Avery Bridge and Searra Becker – earned first- and second-team all-star selections. The Panthers, who are ranked No. 4 in B.C., stopped the Okanagan Mission Huskies of Kelowna 2-0 (25-8, 25-12), while NorKam downed the Seaton Sonics 2-0 (2519, 25-10) in the semis. “There is a calm that the Panthers have this season when they walk out on the court that takes this team to the next level of performance,” said coach Becker. “It has been a total team effort this year, from all the girls, and not without our share of injuries. The team has worked very hard on and off the court all season, and with some off-court training with team trainer Andrew Van derHam at Excel fitness, this has been a great way to help condition to be a lifetime volleyball athlete.” Undefeated versus AAA schools, the Panthers got consistent setting from Hannah Nesbitt and Tanner Lorenson, and a 10-serve run from Mckenzie Kreeft to help seal a 25-16, 25-20 win over the Huskies to open pool play. Match two saw the Panthers sweep the Sonics 25-17, 25-8 with solid passing from Te’a Reimer and Megan Reeves. VSS closed preliminary action by getting big hitting from Steph Mintz and Lorenson in a 25-12, 25-17 win over the Saints. Kal used an epic comeback 3-2 win over the Sa-Hali Sabres of Kamloops for their Valley glory, taking the fifth and final set 17-15 after trailing 14-9.
“Jordan Korol went on an amazing serving run to tie the game with the team managing to win every play that was brought back over the net with inspired team play,” said Hansen. “Despite nursing a back injury, Korol was strong in the middle, especially with key blocks in the fourth set.” Kal won the first set 25-20, then dropped the next two, 25-19, 25-19. They evened things with a 25-15 win off some great kill shots from captain Vicki Schley and power Julia Kemper. Kal defeated the weary Westsyde Whundas 25-12, 25-10 in the semifinals. The Lakers used stingy defence in the opening set and then Hannah Taylor and Maya Bandy (Grade 10) did a great job running the offence in the second set. Lauren Keryluke, who was magic both ways, provided some key hits to keep the Westsyde defense scrambling. Skylar Elliot, also a Grade 10 call-up, showed strong defensive play by registering some great passes and digs in the back row. Added Hansen: “I am extremely proud of the team’s effort. They started to play significantly improved defence in their Fulton tournament win two weeks ago, and continued LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR that this weekend.

Vipers strut into Interior penthouse KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
You can be first on a Wednesday and wake up Monday morning in fifth place. So it goes in the crazy, tight B.C. Hockey League Interior Division. With the Royal Bank Cup just 181 days away, the Vernon Vipers were, as of today, sharing the Interior penthouse with the Penticton Vees. They’ve held everything from first to last spot since opening day. If the Salmon Arm SilverBacks defeated the West Kelowna Warriors Tuesday night, then the Gorillas would grab a couch in the top suite. A Warriors’ win would leave them just two points out of first. After Game 25, the Vipers are loving life. They are 5-21-2 in their last 10 and are winning despite missing their premier forward – Mason Blacklock – due back soon from injured reserve. The Vipers moved to 13-6-2-4 by posting a methodical 5-1 matinee win over the slumping Cowichan Valley Capitals before 1,750 fans Sunday at Kal Tire Place. West Kelowna visits The Big Wheel Saturday night. Newbie Chase McMurphy, who has added big-time speed on the right side, scored his first two goals as a Viper to rate first star. “Everyone played great today,” said McMurphy, a Calgarian. “It was a solid team effort. Once we got up by a couple, we kind of took it to ‘em, finished the game hard and got first place again today. They played three games this weekend so they were tired, but we didn’t hold back on ‘em.” The former Calgary Mustang is stoked in Week 2 as a Viper. “It’s great here, I love it. We’ve got an awesome identity. Great team, great coaches, great staff, we’re gonna go far this year.” McMurphy converted in front to make it 2-0 after a sick move by Demico Hannoun. Dexter Dancs had the secondary assist. McMurphy curled from the corner and beat Francis Marotte with a wrister for the 5-1 snipe. Laim Coughlin, who gets stronger every shift, opened the attack by going to the doorstep and burying a gorgeous pass from behind the net by Michael McNicholas, at 4:06 of the first period. Coughlin, chosen third star. has 10 goals in his rookie year. Dancs took the second helper.
The battered Caps, who have dropped four straight, showed some signs of life when Taki Pantziris buried a back-door feed from Brayden Gelsinger with 40 seconds left in the first. Veteran 20-year-old Colton Sparrow was highly creative all afternoon, but could only laugh when Riley Guenther’s point shot bounced in off his upper body to make it 3-1 early in the second. Hannoun earned the other assist. Guenther, the second star, added insurance just 40 seconds into the third with a wrister from the side wall that fooled Marotte. Coughlin and McNicholas drew assists. “We’re tired,” said Caps’ assistant coach Andrew Plumb, 41, who played for 10 different minor-pro league teams after two BCHL seasons with Powell River. “It’s pretty obvious. It’s more fighting ourselves than the other team right now...We just gotta find a way to keep it simple, highpercentage plays and just stick to it. When guys try and do it themselves and veer off from the team structure, it does nothing but hurt you.” JENNIFER SMITH/MORNING STAR Plumb is high on the Vipers. “They’re a good team, I like ‘em. They Ryan Bechtel of the Cowichan Valley Capitals tries to break away from Vipers’ seem like they’ve got a lot of skill up front, d-man Josh Bryan in BCHL action Sunday at Kal Tire Place. The Vipers won 5-1. they’re fast and they work hard. It’s a percess has not come easy. fect recipe for a winning team.” “Hard work. We’ve been turning it up a lot in practice, Cowichan was without huge d-man Patrick Arnold and battling hard and taking things to a whole new level so hopeforward Mason Malkowich, both 20-year-olds, and forward fully we’ll keep building off this and keep winning.” Colton Kehler. SNAKE BITES: The Vipers’ Logan Mick and Daniel New Yorker Ken Citron deserved a star for another stable game on the Vipers’ back end. One of the Vipers’ unsung Wanner traded bombs in a spirited fight with 6:34 remaining. Mick had his nose bloodied and left for repairs...F Steen heroes said the game-plan was simple. “Just outwork these guys. They’ve been on the road for a Cooper of the Caps and Hannoun were honoured in a prelittle bit, third game in two and a half days so we wanted to game ceremony for helping Team Canada West gain bronze try and get pucks deep, work ‘em hard and throw everything at the World Junior A Challenge...Zach Dyment of the Junior B North Okanagan Knights backed up Austin Smith on net.” Citron, who has three assists, says the Vipers’ recent suc- in net with Danny Todoyschuk on IR.
Fulton juniors win
The Maroons recovered and stuffed the host Mt. Boucherie Bears 25-18, 25-11, 26-24 to take the Valley crown Saturday afternoon. Fulton opens the provincials Thursday at MEI in Clearbrook. “We let a lot of balls drop which is uncharacteristic of our team,” added Bedard. “Bryn Bedard had to run around a lot in that match due to inconsistent passing and made some amazing sets. Danny Aspenlieder and Landon Currie provided good, solid blocking and hitting, while Ryan Doerges had some amazing digs for us. “We were down 24-23 in the fourth Our caring staff would like game, Landon spiked the ball down you to know we offer: to tie 24-24.

Losing 25-12 in the first game of a bestof-five final was not how coach Richard Bedard wanted his Fulton Maroons to start the Okanagan Valley Junior Boys Volleyball Championships. “When everything that could go wrong went wrong, it’s not the best feeling,” said Bedard. “So we focused on getting the momentum back and started anew in the second set.”

Madison Bowey scored twice as the Kelowna Rockets brushed off the Medicine Hat Tigers 4-3 in Western Hockey League play Saturday night at Prospera Place. The Rockets extended their winning streak to nine in front of 5,270 fans. They visited the Seattle Thunderbirds Tuesday night and entertain the Victoria Royals tonight. Bowey scored two third-period goals to give Kelowna a 4-1 lead and what appeared to be a strangle-hold on the game. However Medicine Hat trimmed the Rockets lead to one in less than a minute with Miles Koules (shorthanded) and Ty Stanton clicking. Vernon product Cole Sanford, with his 14th of the season, gave the Tigers the lead at 7:14 of the first period. Sanford, 18, has 21 points in his second year with the Hat. Justin Kirkland equalized midway through the second period with Myles Bell putting Kelowna ahead six minutes later, his ninth of the season. Bowey counted his seventh and eighth snipes, eight minutes apart, in the third. Netminder Jordon Cooke won his 12th game as the Rockets improved to 15-2-02. The Tigers dipped to 15-5-3-0 atop the Eastern Conference.

Purple Flames gain 8-8 tie Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Purple Flames battled host West Kelowna to a thrilling 8-8 draw in Bunnie ringette action Sunday at Jim Lind Arena. Vernon’s Kennedy Jackson (1+2) opened the scoring early in the first period. Rounding out the scoring in the period were Sophie Scott and Ava Dawn Hawrys, with a deuce. Hawrys also finished with two helpers. In the second period, the ever-improving Purple Flames got snipes from Emily Gilman and Jocelyn Tew (2+2). The entire team played a fantastic game as they are starting to work together through excellent coaching from Lynne Wiker and Teresa Gilman. The Vernon DCT Chambers Roar fell 8-2 to Kelowna in Petite action Saturday. The Roar’s first goal was provided by Julie Francis and assisted by Liam Van Wyk, while their second came from Ashly Shwaluk, assisted by Emma Lochhead. Brooklyn Ashby faced countless shots in net. Sierra Lochhead, Chayse Krause, Amy Demetrick, Mackenzie Gilman and Georgia Lannon provided the rest of the support for the Roar. The shorthanded Cornerstone Dental Adrenaline Rush lost 2-1 and 4-2 to Kelowna in Under 16A action. Shelby Connors scored on a breakaway pass from Maddie Powls with Saylor Martian earning
the secondary assist, in the first loss. Maddy Percy, Martian and Wynter Vanderveen were solid on defence and Garrett Adams was stellar in net. The Rush led the second game 2-0 for most of the first period with Alex Drury clicking, unassisted, and Alyssa Racine converting, from Drury. Fatigue got the best of the Rush the rest of the way. The Vernon Uprising played a solid game against Shuswap despite losing 5-0 in U16B Junior play. Despite Katrina Winstanley’s cat-like reflexes in net Sunday morning, the Novice Vernon Ice Rockets fell 7-3 to Kelowna #2. The Rockets opened the scoring with quick goals from Aimee Skinner and Hillary Quiring, but Kelowna battled back. Jasmine Horton played her best game this season, checking everything in sight, and assisting Quiring on the Rockets’ third goal. Kylie Sheldrake was robbed from scoring at close range, while Brooklyn Tardiff and Kristin Franks hustled hard all game. In U14 action, Vernon and Kelowna tied 2-2 with Abygayle Williamson, assisted by Evan Koshure and Aly Carter, and Hailey Quiring, from Emma Carter and Racine, handling the Vernon attack. Jayden Scott pulled the hat trick as the Vernon Victory Advertising Works ambushed the Shuswap 10-2 in Under 12 action. Kenzie Koshure, Kristin Ho and Grace Cornell each supplied two goals each, while Bryn Korol added a single.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder DO NOT LEAP BEFORE LOOKING Edwin Percy Whipple, a 19th-century essayist, wrote, “Talent jogs to conclusions to which Genius takes giant leaps.” That is fine as long as Genius isn’t missing the mark, which can happen. Slowly reaching the right answer is much better than jumping to the wrong conclusion. In today’s deal, South is in three no-trump. West leads his fourth-highest spade. East wins with his ace and returns the two (lowest of three remaining cards). South wins with his king and cashes the club ace, but East discards a spade. How should declarer proceed from there? Also, what do
you think of the bidding? Taking those questions in reverse order, South should open two no-trump. He has 21 prime points with so many aces and kings. To open one diamond and rebid three clubs would probably work fine here, but it would risk missing a slam because partner would not expect such a powerful hand. The bad club break is bothersome, but might South still take nine tricks? Yes, if he can collect one spade, three hearts, three diamonds and two clubs. This seems to require the diamond finesse. And that is a favorite, given that West started with five spades and four clubs. (The odds have gone up from 50 to 69 percent.)
However, here, if Genius immediately takes his three hearts tricks ending on the board and plays a diamond to his jack, he goes down. The talented player cashes his diamond ace first, just in case West started with a singleton queen. You never know!

Brian James Selinger Saturday, November 9, we lost a kind and gentle soul. Brian was 64 years old. He had recovered from surgery for colon cancer and was oƉƟmisƟc about his Ɖrognosis when he Ɖassed away suddenly on his tenth day of chemotherapy. He leaves to mourn, his beloved wife and best friend, Lynne; his son, Kris and wife, Melissa of Regina; his daughter, arolyn and husband, raig liŌon of algary; two precious granddaughters, Madeline and BridgeƩe liŌon; a sisterͲinͲlaw, Kathryn Ursaki; his mother, Rose; his brother Richard (Eleanor); his brother Gordon (Denise); his sister Brenda; his sister Michele (Waul Legrand); his sister :oanne (ScoƩ Symon) and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his father, Edward; his nephew, Darcy Selinger; and his darling niece, Anne HasƟngs. Brian grew up on a farm near Laũord, Saskatchewan, where he learned the value of hard work and the skills reƋuired to Įdž anything. His high school years were spent at Notre Dame in tilcodž, where he learned to play football under the watchful eye of Wğre Murray and won the ϭ966 provincial football championship. Brian met the love of his life, Lynne, in ϭ96ϴ in a biology class at the University of Regina. He completed his Bachelor of EducaƟon degree and a few years later, his Diploma of EducaƟon. His teaching career began in Lipton, Saskatchewan, where he taught for one year. The remainder of his 30 year career was spent in Regina as a biology and science teacher with Regina Catholic Schools at O’Neill High School and Miller Comprehensive High School. Brian enũoyed coaching curling, baseball and football. Brian was grateful for the many students and staī who touched his life. He reƟred in Ϯ00ϭ, and when Lynne reƟred in Ϯ004, they moved to sernon, B.C. to build their dream home in the forest and to enũoy crossͲcountry skiing, curling, hiking, biking, kayaking, camping and beaching. Brian took great pride in the home and yard he built. He was a woodͲworking enthusiast and happily took on proũects for friends and family. He also found Ɵme to volunteer on the edžecuƟve of the sernon Outdoors Club, to teach curling skills to school children through the sernon Curling Club, and for the last several years, to produce the paddlewheel boats provided to children at the Okanagan Landing RegaƩas. Brian’s more than 40 year marriage to Lynne was an inspiraƟon. He was a role model for his children demonstraƟng paƟence, compassion, honesty, humor, and devoƟon to his family. His children and his grandchildren were his greatest source of pride and accomplishment, and his love for them was immeasurable. The greatest blessing he received aŌer his diagnosis was to welcome his granddaughter, BridgeƩe, into the world on October ϭϳ, and to be able to spend the Įrst ten days of her life with her and with Madeline before starƟng his chemotherapy. Memorial services will be held in both sernon and Regina at a later date. /n lieu of Ňowers, the family would appreciate memorial donaƟons to Wlan Canada or to any other charity that will assist children. Arrangements are in the care of sernon &uneral Home Ϯϱ0 Ͳϱ4ϮͲ 0ϭϱϱ. Condolences may be oīered at www.vernonfuneralhome.com

Sonja (Fuzz) Joan McGill (nee Nielsen)
Sonja (Fuzz) Joan McGill (nee Nielsen) was born July 24, 1938 to Danish parents, Eilif and Meta. She grew up in the lower mainland and Fraser Valley, BriƟsh Columbia. She spent life’s precious last months enjoying visits from family, friends and co-workers, reminiscing about the past and all it’s idiosyncrasy’s; then leŌ this world in true Fuzz style. Monday, she wanted to go to palliaƟve care, Tuesday, she insisted on walking down that long hallway to her room and on Wednesday, November 6, 2013, she went on a new journey to the great beyond to meet, greet and hug all who preceded her: son, Kerry; mother and father; brother, Willie and close friends, Isla and Inga. Fuzz was, shall we say, a very special woman. “A Jill of all trades,” mother and homemaker, psych nurse for 35 years, hobby farmer, landscaper and gardener, equipment operator and mechanic, logger, sawyer and millwright, architect, builder and cabinetmaker. Talk about a great cook͊ She did it all͊ Fuzz also had a natural way about her that made everyone feel welcome and at ease. Her kindness and generosity were paramount. Fuzz’s quiet Ɵme involved plucking and pruning her Ňowers, reading, music, movies, TV documentaries and crossword puzzles. With a heavy heart she leŌ the old homestead and Lynn her partner, companion and best friend of 39 years behind to go on her own journey unƟl we meet again. Besides her many friends, Fuzz leŌ her brother, Georg (Joyce); nieces Tavi, Anna and Marnie (Paul); nephews, Dave, ScoƩ and Eric. Also her extended families Cliī and all the Smarts͊ Along with Tony and all the McGill’s. Online condolences can be sent through Sonja’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm.

EXPERTS Dr. PhebeJane Poole
Darryl Walker
CET, HIS Hearing Instrument Specialist
Q: A:
My hair dryer is loud. Can a hair dryer harm hearing?
Yes, your hearing can be harmed by sudden loud noises or by continuous noise over time. The louder the noise, the faster damage can occur. If you notice any ringing or change in your hearing immediately after using your hair dryer, then it may be causing damage to your hearing.
Q: A:
Hypnosis is deep relaxation and focused concentration. In this state of deep mental, physical, and emotional relaxation your conscious, critical mind becomes quiet. You’re then able to access your subconscious mind where all of your beliefs, habits, and past experiences are stored. Accessing these provides possibilities for change. You’re able to replace old negative thought patterns and beliefs with positive ones. This ability is within you, not the hypnotist. If you’re given a suggestion you don’t agree with, you can ignore it, laugh at it, or simply come out of hypnosis. Remember, you are always aware and in control! Being able to access your subconscious mind is what makes hypnosis so powerful for transforming your life.

Q: What is a Ming Gua? A:
A number associated with the five phases: wood, fire, earth, metal, water, the 8 trigrams and yet… oh so much more…! Your Ming Gua is your guardian spirit and is that inner voice steering you away from harm, and inspiring you when you feel lost. It defines who you are, how you relate to others, and how they relate to you. When you connect with people, or instantly dislike someone, this is often your Ming Gua hard at work. When we work together, safeguarding your Ming Gua is my focus. If your Ming Gua is well supported, you will do well, and if your Ming Gua is not a happy camper, you won’t be either… Sleeping, working and studying directions are all based on your Ming Gua and its interaction with the Feng Shui of the space. Your Ming Gua is like a built in navigation system, it will steer you well, as long as you listen and turn ‘right’ when it says so...

Q:
We are reviewing our Retirement Plan and would like to make sure we are Mortgage Free. Can we make extra payments on our Mortgage?
A:
Congratulations on your plan to pay off your home and enjoy your retirement debt free. You can take advantage of the prepayment features of your mortgage to pay it off sooner, most Lenders allow you the ability to pay down a percentage of the mortgage each year, as well as increasing each payment by a full double payment and an increase (of up to 15-20%) of the existing payment without penalty. We are happy to help you to review your current mortgage to confirm the prepayments that you are allowed to make and help to plan the extra payments to ensure that you reach your goal of paying off your home. Mortgage Planning is a very important component of your retirement plan and we are here to help you to make the right decision. Give us a call today. E&O/OAC

Q:
Now that home inspectors have to be licensed, as a consumer what can I expect, and how do I know the guy is legitimate?
A:
As of March 31, 2009 all home inspectors in the province must be licensed. It is not good enough for them to say they have a certificate from ABC home inspectors training, that won’t cut it. Home inspectors must be licensed with The Business Practices and Consumer Protection Authority of British Columbia. Home inspectors must publish their license number in all of their advertising, all of their contracts and reports. You have a right to ask to see their license; doing home inspections without a license carries a five thousand dollar fine. Licenses must be renewed each year. I think licensing is a good thing as it protects you the consumer as well as leveling the playing field for us as home inspectors.
