Mund moves into mayor’s chair RICHARD ROLKE
Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s new mayor says he’s ready to get down to business. Akbal Mund rose to the top Saturday with 3,714 votes, with Victor Cumming in second at 3,089. “It’s exciting,” said Mund, the former owner of the local Wendy’s franchise. Mund believes he won because he was able to resonate with residents. “There was a lot of the young voting crowd who came out who were engaged. People wanted change and a new direction,” he said. Mund, who isn’t sworn in as mayor until Dec. 1, will meet with the retiring Rob Sawatzky to get a sense of the mayor’s job. “This is my first foray into politics and I need to do some homework,” said Mund. This was also a first-time campaign for Cumming, an economist. “I’m pleased with how I did,” he said. “People wanted change and Akbal is well known in the community. He did well on campaigning on that style of being known.” In third place was Mary-Jo O’Keefe, a city councillor, who received 1,319 votes for mayor. “We ran a good campaign and I am pleased with the support I got. I am disappointed but I wish Akbal all of the best,” she said. “We were clear with our messaging. I will continue to work and

He has a lot of work ahead of him. He’s a capable man,” said Tribes, a former councillor.
College recruiter Jamie Morrow got 442 votes. “You do your best and I congratulate Akbal. My wife and I are extremely happy with what we did. There are no regrets,” said Morrow. The four incumbent city councillors — Brian Quiring, Bob Spiers,
Juliette Cunningham and Catherine Lord — were all re-elected with 4,275, 4,162, 4,120 and 4,006 votes respectively. Filling the other two seats on council will be Dalvir Nahal (3,919) and Scott Anderson (3,805). The other candidates were:

Greater Vernon drowns master water plan
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Greater Vernon officials are uncertain about what will happen now that voters have overwhelmingly shot down the master water plan. On Saturday, 7,918 residents voted against borrowing up to $70 million for upgrades to the water utility, including filtration.

Mike Macnabb
There were 3,999 people in favour. “There will be work going ahead,” said Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick. “Staff will meet with the Interior Health Authority on the results and get feedback from them.” It has been suggested that IHA could slap an order on Greater Vernon to proceed with the master water plan despite the referendum results.
“We will look at the next steps to meet IHA’s requirements,” said Garlick, who believes the referendum was defeated for a number of reasons. “The overall number ($70 million) was the problem. If we have to meet the requirement, it will be expensive no matter which way we go.” Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director, is frustrated with the borrowing referendum results.
“It’s unnecessary confusion and delay and an unnecessary amount of money will have to be spent to get the same result,” he said. During the election, most Vernon and Coldstream candidates stated they would vote against borrowing, including those who had authorized the master water plan and the borrowing bylaw. “I hold the politicians calling for its demise to account. It (plan) was used for political purposes,” said Macnabb.

north okanagan residents have their say Spallumcheen
Spallumcheen’s current mayor is getting ready to continue her work. Janice Brown was re-elected to the post in Saturday’s municipal vote, garnering 711 votes and beating a challenge from former mayor Will Hansma who collected 445 votes. “I’m so excited,” said Brown over a din at a Saturday night party at her house featuring councillors, supporters and friends. “Oh wow, I’m very overwhelmed, honoured and humbled. I am looking forward to the next four years.” Janice Brown Hansma, who was seeking a sixth term as mayor, was gracious in defeat. “Obviously they’ve given the current mayor a good mandate, a good opportunity to govern for the next four years,” said Hansma. “I wish her all the best and hope everything goes well with this council. I gave people an option and, at the end of the day, that’s what it was all about.” Five of Brown’s six current councillors were re-elected to their posts, led by Christine Fraser, who topped the polls with 948 votes. Todd York was second with 913 votes, followed by Andrew Casson with 783 votes, two more than Joe Van Tienhoven. Newcomer Christine LeMaire finished fifth with 755 votes and incumbent Ed Hanoski garnered the final spot with 698 votes. Linda Griffin was seventh with 613 votes. Incumbent Rachael Ganson decided not to seek re-election. Brown said she heard from township residents that a good team was in place, and looks forward to adding LeMaire to the lineup. “I appreciate all of them and working with all of them,” said Brown of her council lineup. “I’ve only met Christine twice but she will be a great addition.”
enderby
There’s a change in leadership in Enderby. Greg McCune, a current councillor, topped the polls as mayor with 568 votes during Saturday’s election. Incumbent mayor Howie Cyr received 356 votes. “I’m excited. I worked very hard and I’m very happy,” said McCune, Sutherland’s Bakery owner. “Howie did an excellent job and the dif-
Allen says she presented an opportunity for change. “A lot of ideas were perceived to be scary but we got 40 per cent of the vote,” she said. “We set a fire under a lot of people.”

ference for people is I’m more of a people person.” McCune says he’s ready to work with council. “We will get a clear set of priorities and focus on that. We will address the water and keeping taxes down,” he said. Cyr has been mayor for one term. Greg McCune “Obviously the community has spoken and that is what their wishes are,” he said of the results. “I did my best and the community wants to go in a different direction.” Elected as councillors are Roxane Davyduke (681), Brad Case (617), Shawn Shishido (613), Raquel Knust (605), Tundra Baird (554) and Brian Schreiner (488). Paul McCaig received 458 votes while Jim Macknee got 419 votes.
rural lumby
Rick Fairbairn has won a clear victory in rural Lumby. The incumbent director won another term after capturing 463 votes in Area D Saturday. Huguette Allen received 199 votes. “The constituents have spoken,” said Fairbairn, who is currently vice-chairperson of the Regional District of North Okanagan. Fairbairn who has been director since 2002, believes there are a number of reasons why voters went with Rick Fairbairn him. “My past record on the environment, forestry and agriculture were factors.”

Herman Halvorson is back in the saddle again. The Grindrod resident captured 327 votes during Saturday’s civic election while incumbent Jackie Pearase received 227 votes. “I will represent everyone equally and with dignity,” said Halvorson,who retired from politics in 2011 Halvorson after three terms. Halvorson believes many residents supported him because he has lived in the area his entire life. “It was a good campaign,” he said. Pearase, a writer, is disappointed with the results. “They (residents) can live with what they’re going to live with for four years...I worked hard,” she said.
lake country
It’s déja vu all over again in Lake Country. Incumbent mayor James Baker held onto his position for another four years, beating a challenge from Jayson McCarthy by a margin of 1,215 votes to 990. Baker defeated McCarthy and two other challengers in 2011. Owen Dickie was re-elected as the Oyama ward with 278 votes. Dickie defeated Kelli Westgate, who collected 127 votes. At-large wards are incumbent Penny Gambell (1,331 votes) and newcomer Bill Scarrow (920 votes), while Blair Ireland will represent Okanagan Centre after garnering 344 votes compared to 282 for incumbent Lisa Cameron. Matt Vader won by acclamation in Carr’s Landing.
coldStream
It came down to only a 15-vote difference to determine who wouldn’t make the cut for councillor in Coldstream. All of the incumbents will be keeping their seats, and will be joined by former councillor Glen Taylor. Newcomer to politics Shane Hillman earned 1,351 votes, not quite enough to earn him a seat. Taylor collected 1,366, Peter McClean earned 1,422, there were 1,463 votes
for Richard Enns, Gyula Kiss got 1,537, Pat Cochrane got the nod from 1,586 residents and Doug Dirk topped the polls with 1,670.
Falkland
Rene Talbot is keeping his position as director in Falkland with the Columbia Shuswap Regional District. Talbot collected 280 votes to secure his seat, while his challenger, Kelly Stalker, earned 184 votes.
north weStSide
Former fire chief Wayne Carson topped the polls to claim the Central Okanagan West Electoral Area director’s chair. Carson collected 414 votes, followed by Marsali MacIver with 125 and Eric Von Krosigk with 47.
School truSteeS
A new face has graduated to the Coldstream trustee position with the Vernon School District. Robert Lee earned 1,160 votes to take over veteran Bill Turanski’s seat, as he earned 1,023. Another new face also topped the polls for the Vernon trustees. Lisa de Boer (3,980) will begin her first term as school trustee alongside incumbents Kelly Smith (3,548), Mollie Bono (3,248) and John Armstrong (3,126). Steve Connor (2,670), Brenda Giffin (2,647) and Perry Wainwright (2,615) failed to earn a seat. There’s been some changes among the Armstrong-Spallumcheen trustees. Bob Fowler (1,283) will keep his position but former Armstrong councillor Kelly Rowe (1,291) will be seated next to him (instead of Laurie Myers, who was defeated with 1,139 votes). Armstrong council results were not available at press time.

Continued from A4 Also taking in the action was Patty Everson, who works in a nearby office. “It’s pretty neat. You don’t get to experience this in Vernon every day,” she said. Go With Me is filming in Enderby, Armstrong, Vernon and Lumby. “This is day three and everything is going well,” said Rick Dugdale, producer and president of Hollywood-based Enderby Entertainment, which is named after his hometown of Enderby. The North Okanagan, apparently, has made an impression on Hopkins. “He loves it here. He’s been a pig part of the picture for three years,” said Dugdale. The movie takes place in a logging community and Dugdale says the North Okanagan was the perfect selection for filming. “The whole area fits,” adding that Forge Valley Storage was the ideal choice as a sound stage. “It’s something the region could utilize as a sound stage.” In fact, Dugdale believes the North Okanagan could expand its role in the film industry and he would like to see two to three films a year shot here. He anticipates Go With Me could have a $5 million economic impact on the region beyond hotels and restaurants between now and mid-December.

Actor Julia Stiles prepares for a scene on the set of the movie Go With Me in Vernon Friday morning. “There are transportation guys and we have a local carpentry guy,” said Dugdale. Beyond his personal connection to the Okanagan, Dugdale says he has received substantial professional assistance from Jon Summerland, with the Okanagan Film Commission, and Howie Cyr, Enderby’s mayor. “He knows how much this industry can impact the region,” said Dugdale of Cyr. Kevin Poole, Vernon’s economic development officer, was pleased to see a film being shot just around the corner from city hall. “It is great to see this type of
interest in filming in the North Okanagan,” he said. “The Okanagan Film Commission has done an excellent job in promoting our area as a film location and we are now reaping the economic benefits.” Go With Me could be a catalyst for future films. “This is the first of the larger feature films shooting entirely in the Okanagan and using a 50 per cent-plus local crew,” said Summerland. “It tells other production companies they can do a film here too.” Go With Me will be released November 2015.

Coldstream’s town centre plans taking shape JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Plans are developing for a town centre in Coldstream. Rezoning is being looked at for
three properties on Kalamalka Road (across from Coldstream Elementary) from residential to the new town centre mixed use commercial zone.
The rezoning will allow for developers to come in and set up shop in Coldstream. Along with creating a town centre area, developers will be required
to follow a certain standard on the frontages of properties. “What’s happened in front of the school is the whole idea for this whole area,” said Trevor
JOURNEYS CAMPAIGN 2014 The grieving process can be a difficult journey. We invite you to participate in our annual Journeys Campaign. Grief is often compared to a journey - a road - that must be traveled between how things were, how things are now and how they will be in the future. Your gift to the Journeys Campaign ensures that grief counselling and group support will be available in our community. Every donation to the Journeys Campaign makes a difference. Funds raised in the Journeys Campaign directly support more than 1,300 grieving people each year. We rely on your support to continue our grief services.
Your group support program gave me back my self-confidence and self-esteem. I intend to go out and make the best of what life holds for me. My husband had a favourite saying “I’ll be alright” - and I will. Thanks to you all. Please support the Journeys Campaign today. All gifts to the Journeys Campaign are wisely used in services for those experiencing grief.
Seibel, chief administrative officer. Along with uniform sidewalks, light standards and trees, plans call for underground servicing. “The servicing standards are a challenge,” said Craig Broderick, realtor representing the three property owners. “Underground hydro, as everybody knows, is expensive.” Coun. Richard Enns adds: “Those kinds of restrictions are going to reduce the possibilities of development.” Another solution, Broderick suggested, is having aerial hydro in the back of the property. Coldstream is going to further discuss the

idea before a public hearing is tentatively scheduled for Jan. 26. “We’ve seen what’s happened to Trintec, we’re 20 years down the road and nothing’s happened,” said Coun. Peter McClean, who is concerned about piecing development together. “We should know where we’re going and how we’re going to get there before we take off.” Meanwhile Coun.
Pat Cochrane believes Coldstream should stick with the current requirements. “Once we re-do the zoning, the public has kind of lost its say.” He also used the Trintec development as an example. “Coldstream bent over backwards trying to make this work at every opportunity and here we are now with a bare area of land.”
Crash claims victim Single-vehicle mishap in Australia
Morning Star Staff
An Australian motor vehicle accident has claimed the life of a Vernon woman. Hailey Woon, 19, died in a singlevehicle accident 10 kilometres south of Canowindra, 304 kilometres west of Sydney, Nov. 9. “It appears a Toyota Seca sedan was travelling northbound when it
veered onto the gravel edge of the roadway near a sweeping right hand bend,” states a release from the New South Wales Police Force. “The vehicle crossed to the wrong side of the road before striking a power pole.” Woon, a Fulton grad, was located by other motorists and attempts to revive her were unsuccessful. New South Wales police will prepare a report for the coroner outlining the circumstance surrounding the accident.

Volunteer ringers sought LISA VANDERVELDE Morning Star Staff
Three hours is all it takes to make a difference in the lives of many people in the community. The Salvation Army is looking for volunteers to ring bells and man a kettle for their primary fundraiser, the annual Kettle Campaign. The kettles will be out starting Nov. 20 and will be at 12 different locations until Dec. 24. “We have 1,200 threehour shifts to fill,” said campaign co-ordinator Tatiyanna Kolesnichenko. This year, Kohler has stepped up by providing volunteers for all 12 kettles for a three-hour evening shift. “We picked a day and sent out an e-mail and within 30 minutes we had the kettles filled,” said Deborah Fox, human resources manager for Hytec, A Kohler Company. Fox is proud of the response from her co-workers and is happy that some are involving their families in the experience. “People want to volunteer but they need the barriers removed and this does that,” said Kolesnichenko about the corporate stewardship. Employees from Real Canadian Superstore, Walmart and Community Futures are each covering a kettle for a day and the Salvation Army is encouraging other businesses to help out. “It can be a team building activity for businesses and kettle hosts are welcome to wear their logos while they volunteer,” said David MacBain, of the Salvation Army. MacBain says that they still need the individual volunteers

More questions
t’s time once again to play the game known as what’s been rattling around in my brain lately. Or possibly better stated as questions that have materialized in my mind of late and if they don’t get expressed they may end up driving me crazy so here goes nothing: I think I may have asked this one before but the math behind it and free-market analysis fails to answer why when a barrel of oil has dropped down to the 75 bucks a barrel range there hasn’t been a similarly significant drop in gas prices at your friendly neighbourhood station? And why is it I’m told to be patient as the price Glenn Mitchell drop slowly works its way through the supply system from its $1.239 perch (I figure it should be around a buck by now but what do I know?) but when there’s even a hint of a problem in the wacky world of oil that may hike the price, it goes up faster than you can say #$%#@!^)*&, so it must be some kind of reverse economic supply and demand theory that only applies to oil, I guess? Speaking of fossil fuels, the furnace is getting a workout of late thanks to the drop of temperature in these parts, and here comes another expensive monthly bill to curse about, but in the it-always-could-be-worse department aren’t you glad we live here and not pretty much anywhere else in this great country of ours (or maybe I just watch the weather channel a little too much)? And speaking of this great country of ours, has anyone else noticed that virtually every Canadian team (OK, maybe sans one) in the NHL is having a stellar start to the season? But before we get carried away about finally ending the long Stanley Cup drought this side of the border, one should caution oneself that it is only November and I’m pretty sure they hand

out the cup in May, or June, or is it July these days? And of course if one happens to be a Canucks fan, one should remember that last season started out promising as well and if one, for some reason, is a Leafs fan they looked to be a lock for a playoff spot until something happened along the way and they both failed to make the playoffs, so it’s a long season, OK? The CFL season isn’t as long and it’s wrapping up with the Lions having an outside shot of making the Grey Cup game because they somehow found a way to go the Eastern division route so with wins over Montreal and Hamilton they’re suddenly the home team on Nov. 29 but then that’s a long shot, right? The civic elections are over and I hope everyone found the time to vote because four years is a long time to not be able to express one’s opinion about local matters (if you didn’t vote, of course), don’t you think? And my heartfelt gratitude to all those people who put themselves out there and bravely let their name stand for municipal office so that whether they won a seat or not don’t you think we owe them all a thank you for allowing us to have a choice and ensure democracy works like it’s supposed to? To the winners, also, congratulations and I hope it’s everything you thought it would be and the next four years bring you good health and a thick skin and the wisdom to help lead your community specifically, and the North Okanagan generally, confidently and optimistically into the unknown, also called the future, with some help from engaged but respectful citizens who also want what’s best for the area, or am I dreaming here? And wasn’t it Winston Churchill who said it best? – “It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.” Thanks for listening, I feel better already, I think?
This Remembrance Day felt a little different than years past. To be sure, the ceremony was much the same, honouring those Canadians that took up arms in defence of country and principal, and especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedoms. Still, there was a special poignancy this year as the thoughts of many attending ceremonies across Canada, turned to two young soldiers, Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, and Patrice Vincent, who lost their lives in the performance of their duties, killed not in battle, but as symbols. It’s 95 years since the first Remembrance Day was held, marking the end of “the war to end all wars.” But war didn’t end with the First World War, it continued on, as it has through all the ages of man. How tragic that almost a century after we started to solemnly mark it, we are still adding names to the long list of the fallen. It’s a thin line between glorifying war and remembering and honouring those who fought in war. That’s why the poppy is such an important symbol. It focuses our attention on the sacrifices made by the soldiers, the blood spilled on foreign soil. Remembrance Days are often fittingly grim. We gather in the dark and cold of oncoming winter, to pause, reflect and honour. Unlike other holidays throughout the year, this isnʼt a celebration; itʼs a reminder that sometimes sacrifices have to be made to defend the freedoms Canadians hold dear, or to correct injustices. And, especially we gather to remember the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice, giving their lives fighting for our freedom. Ask yourself what the world would be like without their sacrifice. Black Press

Emphasize the renewables
olin Mayes, in a recent column, takes his usual shot at pipeline phobia and fears that the "underlying resistance could be "related to a backdoor approach to stopping the Alberta oil sands development." This is why he promotes the Conservatives' fast-track approach to environmental reviews, to "minimize the obstruction tactics used by some to compromise the applicant's right to due timely process." In light of the fact that polls show the people of B.C. are opposed to the Northern Gateway project, and the Union of B.C. Municipalities recently voted against the Kinder Morgan proposal, Mr. Mayes' view is offside with the will of the people while promoting the oil industry. His inference is that opponents don't understand where jobs and tax revenue comes from, so just get on board. Further, his comparison of pipeline to rail safety (which is correct) is based on the need to
DRIVER'S TEST I'd like to inform the public of something they might not know. I certainly did not. When you become 80 years of age, you have to take a new driving test. It does not matter that you have driven for 60 years with no accident or any traffic ticket. You're 80-years-old and that is it. Just in case, I took a driving course so I would know what was required. No problem. It cost me $250 but it was a good experience. I also did get one of those cameras which you mount in your car window so I could see on my home computer any improvement my driving might require. Surprise, the first thing the driving tester did was unplug the device. Now why would he do this? So guess what, I failed. When I brought this to the attention of his supervisor, all he said was, "So what," and walked away. How is that for a public servant? The only thing we have going for us is those people one day will also be 80-years-old, even Premier Christy Clark. She adopted a study which
ship the massive expansion planned in the oil sands, not current production. Mr. Mayes may have missed the recent move by Saudi Arabia to drop oil pricing to $80 a barrel, which is approaching break-even for the oil sands. This move is consistent with the growing realization that renewables are a rapidly growing percentage of world energy. The World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the
Ontario rejected because it was inconclusive. You need two studies to make up your mind? So Ms. Clark, wait for your next election. B.C. has lots of people 80 years and over. So you 80-year-olds, be aware of your driving test or you might be sitting at home. Anneliese Roesner THANKS VJH Over the past year, I have spent considerable time in our local Vernon Jubilee Hospital in the operating room and in 3-West, which seems to be surgery recovery. We are so fortunate to have the medical staff they have in that hospital and on that particular floor. The nurses on this particular floor are just super and so efficient. They certainly looked after me while I was there for several days recovering from the surgery. There is a particular surgeon by the name of Dr. Kevin Wiseman, who is a master with the surgical knife, or is it called a scalpel? He certainly looked after me extremely well. I am most grateful to Dr. Wiseman and his work. The other important part of

my stay at VJH, as I mentioned, was the nursing staff on 3-West, under the supervision of Maggie Schneider. Maggie and her crew, which includes a male nurse by the name of Wes — I remember him because he discharged me with some extra dressings and how to use them when I left the hospital — were all a super crew of nurses. I also must mention that the food was excellent and always hot and tasty. Thank you all up at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Ya done good. Dan Dally POLSON PARK I would like to give a resounding response to Mike Sturdy's letter about Polson Park. Some time ago, there was a survey sent around to residents about our parks and facilities. Sadly, at that time, it moved me to say, "Shame" on the earlier state of our prime city destination, green space of peace and purpose. No longer do I think that. We can now be proud and pleased with the work and attention put into it. The results speak so well.
first to be dropped as over-produced oil prices start to slide? The dirtiest and most expensive extraction of oil in the world is coming out of Alberta. Large pipelines, based solely on oil sands expansion, are infrastructure that is based and financed on a 50-year time frame. Based on the rapid drop in price of solar, and the rapid progress in electric cars and smart cities, in 2050, we will have a pipeline leading from a ghost town to an idled port. Pipeline investors are currently taking a hard look at whether they want to lay out the cash. And a bit of resistance is helping this good cause. It's time to put our emphasis on renewables and rebuilding the industrial base rather than put all our eggs in one shaky basket. Dave Smith Federal Green Party candidate, Okanagan-Shuswap
Please do go and enjoy the whole park and be thankful.

The city agreed to look at the problem but no action as yet. I have invited city council and senior members of the public works office to take a walk on the trail. Out of frustration, I took a video and posted it to You Tube. Now they can take a walk and so can you I kick myself for stopping the video so soon. Ten seconds later, I almost got

The Social Planning Council’s duties have included co-ordinating the Partners in Action committee, overseeing homelessness and attainable housing strategies, developing a strategy for drug-related issues, assisting with downtown Vernon revitalization and responding to urgent matters as they arise. It has also helped community groups access funding from senior levels of government and charitable foundations. By using an outside agency under contract, it means the city does not need its own staff to deal with social issues directly. The agreement calls for the Social Planning Council to be paid $60,000 in 2015 (the same as 2014) and $65,204 in 2016. Funding would increase in 2017 and 2018 based on the cost of living.

Opposition to road remains RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Cherryville residents appear to remain united in opposition to a proposed logging road. About 70 people attended a meeting Thursday about B.C. Timber Sales’ plans for a road and logging on Cherry Ridge. “Representatives from BCTS weren’t there to explain things to people,” said Eugene Foisy, Cherryville’s electoral area director. BCTS officials have insisted that proper soil and hydrological assessments have been done and there is no risk of a slide impacting residents in the valley bottom. However, many residents aren’t convinced a thorough review has been done and a slide could place residents and community facilities at risk. “We are waiting to see if BCTS proceeds with the road,” said Foisy, adding that residents are determining their next steps to protest the road. “If they hold off, we will go ahead with a (soil and hydrological) study, If they don’t, people will have to decide where they go with this.” Last month, some residents blocked the road contractor from entering the construction site. Foisy insists his community isn’t opposed to logging as it depends on forestry economically,
but there is a concern because slides have occurred there before. “If we’re wrong, we’re wrong, but satisfy us (with a study),” he said. BCTS has no timeline for road construction. “Our contractor will
proceed when he feels the time is appropriate,” said Colin Johnston, woodlands manager. “There is no plan to delay construction.” Residents of Cherryville met with Okanagan Indian Band representatives Friday
to discuss Cherry Creek logging. “They continue to work toward the goal of restoring the salmon populations to Cherry Creek and other Shuswap drainages,” said Hank Cameron, a resident, of the OKIB.

Vees ride powerplay past Vipers “We started off good, a good 20 minutes and then we let the foot off the gas,” said the 20-year-old Toronto product. “They deserved to win, but it’s a good lesson for us.” Latina felt for Schamerhorn (second star, 42 saves), whose workhorse effort gave Vernon a chance to win. “Schammy keeps us in a lot of games and we support our goalies, whoever’s in net. 46 shots is way too much pressure on him and he deserves a better outcome.” Ex-Viper Demico Hannoun (15th) onetimed a gorgeous cross-ice feed from Patrick Newell for Penticton’s first snipe on the fourminute minor to Fidler. Jack Ramsay (6th) tipped Gabe Bast’s pointshot one minute later. Vees’ head coach Fred Harbinson noticed his team’s energy level was a little off at practice this week. Instead of barking at them, he took more of a laid-back approach. “The old days, I probably would have thrown a fit, but I just kind of let it happen to see how we’d react, and they didn’t react well,” said Harbinson. “We started to get better in the second and it was a huge goal (by Alferd) at the end of the second that gave us a chance.” Miska finished with 30 stops, the best of which were a pair of spectacular glove saves on Voltin to keep his team alive. Meanwhile, the Grizz were shelled 10-4 by the host Trail Smoke Eaters Friday at Cominco Arena. Vernon product Harlan Orr led the Smokies with three goals, while former Viper Craig Martin had 1+2. In other Interior action Friday, the Merritt Centennials shaded the host West Kelowna Warriors 4-3 in overtime, and the Salmon Arm Silverbacks grounded the Cowichan Valley Capitals 5-2 at the Shaw Centre.

Give the Penticton Vees a hint of an opportunity, and they will pounce, just like they did Friday night at Kal Tire Place. The four-minute high sticking minor by the Vernon Vipers’ Trevor Fidler was all the league-leading Vees needed to turn a onegoal deficit into a one-goal advantage. Add a empty netter by hard-working veteran Matt Serratore and Penticton escaped with a 4-2 win in front of 2,200 B.C. Hockey League fans. The Vees (18-3-0-1), who snapped a twogame skid and lead the season series with Vernon 3-0, were down by a pair late in the second period when Riley Alferd fired the first of three straight man-advantage goals to get his team back in the game. Alferd, named first star, danced into the high slot unchallenged and fired a quick snapper to beat netminder Jarrod Schamerhorn for his team co-leading 15th goal with 2:55 to play in the frame. “If you give me time in the middle of the ice and let me pick anywhere on the net, I trust my shot and I just let ‘er rip,” beamed Alferd. “I’ll take what they give me anytime. I love that area.” Speaking outside of an eerily silent Vipers’ dressing room, Vipers’ head coach Mark Ferner didn’t hide his disappointment in his team’s defensive meltdown. He will expect better when the Vipers (11-7-1-1) host the Victoria Grizzlies (8-7-0-3) this afternoon (2:00) at the Big Wheel. “When you’re 2-1 going into the third, you’d like to think you put yourself in a good spot, especially at home,” said Ferner. “But the reality is you’re not going to win hockey games when you’re giving up over 40 shots

If these kids want to move on to the next level, that’s the easiest way. “Even if you score a boatload of goals in Junior A hockey, that’s not going to translate into much if you can’t play defence.

Builders settle for Tier 1 draw against host Kelowna Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Home Building Centre Vipers played to a 1-1 draw against host Kelowna in the teams’ first Okanagan Mainline Hockey Association Midget Tier 1 encounter Friday night. Vernon came out pressing and scored first on a snipe by Stephane Richard, assists to Braden Gilowski and Logan Imrich. Kelowna answered in the second period, and neither team could gain an advantage after that. Vipers’ tender Tristan Quiring made numerous great saves in preserving the tie. In Bantam Rep tournament play Friday, the Vernon Source For Sports Vipers drew Terrace 2-2 in Salmon Arm. Following two defensive periods (Vernon outshot Terrace
11-8 over 40 minutes), things opened up in the final frame when Damien Coljee-fehr tapped in a rebound from Dawson Chase’s point shot. Nick Cherkowsi had the other assist. With Vernon trailing 2-1, and with Terrace serving a minor, the Vipers pulled Tyler Sedlechek for a 6-on-4 advantage, and game MVP Cherkowski slid the puck home when Eric Noren redirected an Aiden Rysen pass. The Watkins Motors Mustangs split their opening tilts of the Kelowna Silky Mitts Tier 1 Tournament Friday. The ‘Stangs rebounded from a tough 5-4 loss to the Kamloops Blazers in the morning by shading the Prince George Cougars 3-2 that night. Game MVP Kobe Grant made several spectacular saves for the Mustangs, who peppered the Cougars’ goalie.

Lazar settles in with Senators
s the only teenager with the Ottawa Senators, Curtis Lazar takes more than his share of
ribbing. He was shoe checked opening night in Nashville and was heckled as the Vancouver media mobbed him before the Sens lost in overtime to the Canucks on Remembrance Day. Through 14 games as an NHL rookie, Lazar is smiling more than usual and loving every minute of life in the show. “I can’t even really believe I’m playing in the NHL,” said Lazar, moments after checking into a Calgary hotel Friday afternoon. “I’m probably going to go ‘wow’ every time I step on the ice for the next two years.” Flying to games is of course nice, but a hole in their plane’s engine Thursday night forced the Sens to bus three hours to Calgary Friday morning. They headed to the old Stampede Corral and had a different kind of scrimmage. “You had to play opposite hand and (captain Erik) Karlsson was just as good left-handed. I used (linemate Mike) Hoffman’s stick and did pretty good. It’s a hot stick right now.” Hoffman has been a huge surprise for the Sens, who went into Saturday night’s game versus the Flames tied for fourth in the Eastern Conference Atlantic Division with the Leafs. A fifth-round draft pick in 2009, Hoffman rang up 100 goals in two Major Junior seasons with Drummondville and Saint John. He pocketed 30 snipes with the AHL Binghamton Sens last year and has seven with Ottawa, playing alongside Lazar and Mark Stone. They were called The Kid Line, but the Sens have since tweeted and renamed them The Man Line since Hoffman turns 25 in a week and Stone is 22. It’s a bargain-bin unit with Hoffman earning $750,000, Stone taking home $603,00 and
Lazar making $894,000. Lazar, who racked up 137 goals in three years with the WHL Edmonton Oil Kings, drew the assist from the sidewall on Hoffman’s overtime winner Thursday night in Edmonton. Karlsson’s shot broke David Perron’s stick and gave Lazar room to move in and feed Hoffman. “He’s (Hoffman) fast and he’s got a really good shot,” said Lazar, who said he coughed up the puck on Edmonton’s second goal. “Stone has the smarts. He puts pucks in places Hoffman can retrieve them and I just Kevin Mitchell try and fit in.” Lazar has missed a few glorious chances for his first goal while collecting six assists. A first-round pick, 17th overall, two years ago, the two-way centre won a Memorial Cup with the Oil Kings last year. Ottawa head coach Paul MacLean started Lazar at centre at Rexall Place, where his Oil King teammates were cheering his every move. “I won the faceoff against Boyd Gordon, but I didn’t win too many after that. It was a really special night, getting to start. They introduced me on the starting lineup on the Jumbotron and the fans gave me a nice ovation. All my Oil King teammates were watching the pre-game skate so I was pretty nervous. I didn’t want to mess up.” Lazar, who turns 20 Feb. 2, spent his day off Wednesday visiting the Oil Kings, going out for dinner with his former roommate Brett Pollock, and sodas with the rest of the team later. MacLean has been sending Lazar’s line over the boards to create energy. “He’s intense and he’s pretty old school. I know I have to pay my dues and you have to get the job done or you won’t get ice time. It’s definitely a big jump going to the regular-season games. It’s been gruel-

ling and it was a big sigh of relief when they kept me after nine games.” Lazar passed the nine-game threshold, where the first year of his three-year entry-level contract officially kicks in. It doesn’t mean that he can’t be sent back to the Oil Kings, though. If he plays 40 games with Ottawa, he gains one year towards being unrestricted down the road. He’s a plus-four and has always been a 200-foot player so he’s not likely going to leave Ottawa. The Sens told him he could find his own place, but he’s going to stay where he’s at, rooming with veteran d-man Chris Phillips, his wife Erin, a nanny, and three kids, ages 11 through seven. “It’s a great situation. Philly’s wife has a nutritionist degree and has a special cookbook so the food is outstanding. I’m like a dad, driving their little ones to figure skating and hockey.” Used to playing clutch minutes with Team Canada, Team B.C. and the Oil Kings in two Memorial Cups, Lazar is adjusting to a lesser responsibility. “It’s a little harder playing a fourth-line role. I’m getting 10 to 12 minutes a night and you have to be consistent. I know I can play the game, but there have been some hiccups.” On Karlsson, Lazar said: “He’s such a laid-back guy and he’s super human, some of the things he does in practice and games.” Ottawa has been winning with spectacular goaltending from Craig Anderson and Robin Lehner. “They’re the ones keeping us in games, but I know we can elevate our game. There’s lot of hockey left.” Lazar’s family caught his historic first game in Nashville and they were in Vancouver. He signed his brother Cory’s cast in Vancouver after Cory broke his right arm in Bantam Rep. Cory declined an offer from Curtis to have Karlsson add his signature.

The final Thrash Wrestling card of 2014 promises some entertaining matchups when the bell rings Friday (8 p.m.) at the Schubert Centre. The event will feature the return of women’s wrestling as Surrey’s Sam (Bambi) Hall takes on Violet Affect in which should be a tremendous match. A second-generation wrestler – her mother Thereasa fights under the moniker Raven Lake – Bambi picked up her first women’s championship in January 2012. She was Pro Wrestling Illustrated’s runner up for Rookie of the Year in 2012 and ranked No. 46 in the top 50 women’s wrestlers. Hall became All Star Wrestling’s women’s champ by beating KC Spinelli and Riea Von Slasher in a triple-threat match. In Friday’s main event, Thrash tag team champions (Cougar Meat) Kyle Sebastian and Collin Cutler will defend their title against (Hurricane) Adam Ryder and Matt Xstatic. These four have battled in some epic feuds across Western Canada of late. Lumby’s Slave will take on former partner Michael More for the Thrash championship. The card also features Japan’s The Great Kasaki and Black Dragon. Tickets are $12 in advance or $15 at the door. They can be purchased in Vernon at the Schubert Centre, Ebenezer’s and Downtown Internet Lounge;

The Fulton Maroons placed second in their pool at the Okanagan Valley Senior AA Girls Volleyball Championships Friday at Fulton Gym. Sharon Shaigec’s Maroons faced the George Elliot Coyotes of Winfield in quarterfinal action Saturday. The Kalamalka Lakers won the B Side, earning a bye to the semis. Fulton opened the eight-team playdown with a 25-14, 25-17 decision over the Merritt Panthers before falling 25-16, 26-24 to Kal. They rebounded by stuffing the Revelstoke Rams 25-17, 25-9. The Lakers earned other wins over Merritt (25-10, 25-18) and Revelstoke (2514, 25-14), who placed third and fourth, respectively. The Princess Margaret Mustangs of Penticton, ranked fourth in B.C., topped the A Side with wins over the Westsyde Whundas of Kamloops, George Elliot and Armstrong’s Pleasant Valley Sinners. Westsyde, Elliot and PVSS were second, third and fourth, respectively. “Princess Margaret is looking strong heading into the playoff round,” said Shaigec. “Westsyde, Kalamalka, George Elliot and Fulton are all teams that could take a run at Princess Margaret, but it all
depends on which team puts it all together at the right time.” The Valley champions earn a berth to AA provincials, Nov. 27-29, at Brentwood College, in Mill Bay. The MEI Eagles of Abbotsford will host a wildcard tournament Saturday to determine one additional berth. Meanwhile, at the Valley senior AA boys championships, hosted by George Elliot, the Maroons won their pool to earn a bye in Saturday’s semifinal. Fulton recorded wins over the Sa-Hali Sabres of Kamloops (25-13, 25-14), Revelstoke (18-25, 25-14, 15-6) and George Elliot (25-14, 25-10). The Vernon Christian Royals earned a spot in the Valley senior A girls playoff round with two wins Friday in Clearwater. The Royals opened by grounding St. Ann’s Crusaders of Kamloops 25-23, 13-25, 15-13. “We made a lot of uncharacteristic mistakes, but found a way to win,” said coach Jason Reedyk. In their fifth meeting of the season with Charles Bloom Timberwolves of Lumby, Vernon Christian prevailed 20-25, 25-17, 15-7. Strong serving and setting from Hannah Podolski, and consistent passing

“We got pushed around a bit at the start and had a lot of penalty yards to open the game,” said VSS head coach Sean Smith. “They came at us hard the first two drives, but our defence held and got some timely turnovers when we needed them. “The wind was blowing sideways and we knew it was going to be tough to pass, so we put this game on our o-line and defence and both units came up big again today.” Nicholas led the Panthers with six tackles, Karson Patommel had five and an interception and linebacker Carson Labreque added four and a pick. In the second half, Patommel bounced a dive play outside to score from 47 yards, finishing the day with 116 yards on 13 carries. Garvie closed out the scoring with a 35-yard QB draw.

emembrance Day this year was special. Crowds turned out in great numbers to honour our warriors, dead and alive. A heartfelt gratitude and appreciation was offered to our service men and women made more intense by the recent deaths of two soldiers wiped out by madmen. The most momentous part of all these memorial services, for me, were the number of young people Pat Black involved and genuinely interested in and appreciative of the sacrifices made in the battles fought by Canadians. These kids, most of them not even born at the time of these conflicts, stood proudly and applauded the feats of their fellow Canadians who fought for freedom for them. The kids got it and hopefully will carry this pride forward. But have we got it. Does all this appreciation and applause translate into action so that we stop seeing so many of our veterans commit suicide and be relegated to the sidelines because they cannot get the services they need? Does this mean the government will reinstate veterans’ bureaus or provide more psychiatric ser-
vices that have been promised and are so badly needed? Or is this just more grandstanding and face-saving for the government? Let’s make sure we don’t forget and remind them that our returning warriors deserve the best care possible. Election day will be over when you read this column, and the ballots counted. A new mayor and council will have been elected and if the attendance at allcandidate’s meetings is any indication, we should have a large number of voters turn out. To the old council, thanks again for serving. God knows it isn’t the money that makes you endure sleepless nights, disrespectful citizens, and the ire of so many ignorant people. Like the critics who keep asking why our downtown core hasn’t more housing built there, as though previous councils could somehow or other control this. Indeed previous councils have offered many incentives to builders but until the economic climate improves no one wants to invest. Those armchair critics, especially in the letters to the editor column of this paper, who come down on Vernon Council and how they make decisions somehow or other forget, or possibly don’t know, that we have a long term official community plan that a lot of people contributed to and voted on and were directly involved in, that council follows.
We have just recently reviewed this plan and reaffirmed it and that is what directs council. Those critics should also know that this plan includes bike lanes and traffic reductions and spending money to make our parks and streets environmentally friendly. Check it out. Best wishes to whoever was elected and many thanks for putting yourself forward to do this important but sometimes thankless job. And be assured some of us do truly appreciate your call to service. A few reminders for seniors now that winter is closing in: The Good Food Box Program offers fresh produce once a month for $16 or a smaller box for $10 payable in advance on the second Wednesday of the month for pick-up on the third Thursday. Delivery is also available for $3. This is a wonderful way to make sure we get the fruits and veggies we need at an affordable price.

Book builds trades insight Morning Star Staff
For anyone toiling in the trades that is looking to get ahead, Coldstream’s Jack Borden has packed all of the necessary tools in his book Faster, Cheaper, Better – Starting and Operating a Business in the Trades. There are plenty of tradespeople in the industry who are adept at what they do, but know little about running their own company. With his book, Borden, a developer who began his career as an electrician, walks his readers through the challenges and potential pitfalls in setting up a successful company. “My book will provide you with business ideas, direction and concepts that you can apply in your business to help you start, build and operate a better business,” said Borden, who moved to Vernon in 1972 to take on a role as Goodwin Electric. Borden delivers his material with a no-nonsense approach that will help start-ups, as well as existing businesses that are struggling, manage their operations, keep customers and suppliers happy while earning a profit. Published by Self-Counsel Press, Faster, Cheaper, Better is 137 pages and broken into a dozen chapters. Topics covered include: considerations for being selfemployed, business and marketing planning, project management and accounting. The book also includes several worksheets and sample pages depicting things like balance sheets, invoices, progress reports and purchase orders. Borden said his customers are the ones who inspired him to write the book. “Throughout my 50-year career in the construction industry, I have always been driven by a desire to be the best in my field,” said Borden, who developed Coldstream Meadows retirement community. “Contractors in the construction industry are surrounded by competition, and in order to survive, a business must provide customers with everything they want and be profitable at the same time.” Borden said the title for his book was the result of him asking his clients what they expect when he does a job – faster, cheaper, better. “Customers used different terminology to express their project objectives, but when translated, all they wanted was speed, quality and the best possible price.”

New financing solution for non-profits Morning Star Staff
Adaptability Canada has partnered with Northwood Mortgage to create targeted financial solutions for consumers and non-profit organizations that serve seniors and persons with disabilities, along with their families. The Accessible Community Loan Program, the first of its kind, is designed to allow Canadian non-profits that own and operate buildings to access construction financing for large projects of $250,000, or more. This pro-
Bellmann nominated
vides an alternative for these organizations as they may not have been able to borrow money from Canada’s traditional banks. The program is based on a three-year term and allows the organization to make interestonly payments throughout the first year to give them a headstart. With this financial solution, organizations can focus on raising funds through various means to repay the loan without the added pressure of making principle payments until
the second year of the term. “The Accessible Community Loan Program is a good starting place for organizations considering accessibility renovations,” said Jeff Wilson, CEO of Adaptability Canada. “Nonprofit organizations are often located in older buildings that are not accessible to members and other people with disability. Non-profits unable to offer accessibility room rentals are not getting their needed revenue, often a significant part of their annual budgets.”
Spallumcheen’s Bellmann Specialty Produce has been nominated for a Small Business B.C. Award. Owners Brad and Jen Bellmann, who started the business in 2005, have no idea who put their names forward in the People’s Choice category, but they’re happy to receive the publicity. “You can’t buy this kind of marketing,” said Jen, who was contacted by the Huffington Post for an interview the day they were nominated. Located on Grandview Flats Road North, Bellmann Specialty Produce has 37 acres in operation, producing a variety of heirloom vegetables, including tomatoes and carrots as well as an assortment of baby veggies. Along with their Fresh Picks farm gate market, they distribute their goods throughout the Lower Mainland, Okanagan and Alberta. “We try to specialize in heritage and hard-to-find produce, things that you don’t normally see around the Okanagan,” said Jen. Small business awards are offered in 10 categories, with winners receiving the Premier’s Prize of $1,500, a one-year all-access pass to Small Business B.C. education and resources, and one-on-one business mentorship opportunities with notable advisors from the award sponsors. Nominated business owners are tasked with gaining as many votes as possible through social media, word of mouth e-mail, or any other means possible by Sunday, Nov. 30. The top-10 highest voted nominees in each category will be announced as finalists on Dec. 12. They will have the opportunity to submit an application to the judges, which they will use to determine the top-five finalists from each category, announced on Jan. 30. The top five will present a 10-minute Dragons’ Den-style pitch to judges to prove themselves to be one of B.C.’s best. The winners will be announced at the Small Business B.C. Awards Ceremony on Feb. 26, at the Pan Pacific Vancouver Hotel. To vote for Bellmann Specialty Produce, visit www.sbbcawards.ca

Having the talk
emember the anxious moments and uncomfortable feelings you experienced when you had ‘the talk’ with your kids? Well, you’re going to have them again – even though the topic is decidedly different – because it’s time to have another “talk” with your parents. That’s right, you need to talk to them about their health and financial issues while their health allows it and they can be fully involved in making decisions regarding their living arrangements, level of care and estate planning. Don’t wait until a Andy Erickson crisis occurs that can reduce their estate planning options and increase costs. Do it now. Here are some tips for getting the talk going: Offer an opening – Your parents may be waiting for an opportunity to have this discussion; you can provide it. Your role is to be a supporter and information gatherer.

Use ice-breaking strategies like offering help with their estate and retirement planning. Keep in mind that your parents want and need to maintain their independence and dignity. Listen – Try to understand their fears and anxieties. Focus the conversation on your parents’ health and well-being and your love and concern for them. Here’s what you should include in the discussion: Sources of income – Include any changes in monthly income should one of them die. Investments – As well as beneficiaries for their registered investments. Expenses – Will their income (including government aid) cover their expenses, which are likely to escalate with age? Insurance – What coverage do they have, and are there holes that need to be filled? Existing wills – Have they designated personal representative (executor/liquidator) to handle their affairs and distribute their assets according to their wills? Enduring powers of attorney for property – Be sure they have appointed someone to make financial decisions on their behalf should they become incapacitated. Powers of attorney for personal care, living wills, health care directives – Be sure they have appointed someone to make personal and health care decisions on their behalf should they become incapacitated. Location – Know where their wills and other legal papers are kept. Know the location and content of their bank accounts and safety deposit boxes. Having the talk with your parents can be difficult, but it is also necessary. To be sure you take full advantage of the many financial and estate planning strategies available to your parents.

JAMIE ROSS Special To The Morning Star
QUEBEC - Somehow a family ski trip has become an annual March Break tradition. That’s not surprising, since my wife is passionate about skiing. I’m OK with that, with the tiny proviso that every year we experience someplace different, a new unique and charming locale. This year, that would be Quebec, where winter is a season to be celebrated in toques and mitts – whether at the annual Quebec Carnival, with a stay in the Hotel du Glace, skiing the nearby slopes of Mont Ste. Anne and Le Massif, or snowshoeing, camping and ziplining in the Outaouais. Quebec City is a four century old fortified city, full of historic sights and superb restaurants. Wandering the old city’s cobbled, snow-laden streets, sampling fondue, and touring the Ice Hotel, all served as my kids’ first introduction to a European-style winter experience. Enjoy the city by night and hit the slopes by day. The mountains surrounding the historic city — Mont-Sainte-Anne and Le Massif — boast enough diversity that regardless of skier ability, there’s compelling terrain. Long, meandering, easyto-conquer runs snake down the sides of both resorts, but there are also steep slopes and glades galore for experts. Mont-Sainte-Anne: Thirty minutes from Quebec City, Mont-Sainte-Anne tempts skiers and snowboarders with 67 trails spanning three sides of the mountain. It’s known for its slick, race-steep runs on the north side, and its Black forest glades on the south. For on mountain lodging, the Chateau Mont Sainte Anne is perfect for families, the only ski-in-ski-out hotel in this region, so you can ski first tracks in the morning and end the day on the 19 lit trails. For the kids: A permanent 7-metre high half-pipe, and a traditional slopeside Sugar Shack, doling out maple taffy on snow. Le Massif de Charlevoix: I have skied many beautiful resorts around the world, but few can compare with Le Massif de Charlevoix. Here, you actually arrive at the main lodge at the top of the mountain, and then ski down towards the banks of the Saint Lawrence River. The views are spectacular, sweeping eastward, the tide coming in from the Atlantic and the ice breaking up on the river. Le Massif is the most exciting resort on the Canadian ski map right now, the inspiration of Cirque de Soleil co-founder Daniel Gauthier. Everything is top notch, from the lifts and lodges to the grooming, the view and the perfect pitch of the runs. With eastern Canada’s largest vertical drop, Le Massif offers supreme skiing and snowboarding on 53 trails. The best way to get there is a leisurely one-hour train ride from Quebec City. The route runs along the scenic St. Lawrence River, with vistas of water-

A visitor goes to new heights while ziplining at the Arbraska Laflèche Aerial Park in Quebec. The site also has the largest visited cave in the Canadian Shield. falls, wooded hills and the spectacular Charlevoix landscape. For the kids: Give rodelling a try, a brand of extreme sledding on a specially designed 7.5-kilometre trail. The Outaouais: After four days of downhill skiing near Quebec City, we headed west to the Outaouais to do some cross-country skiing in magnificent Gatineau Park and snowshoeing in Kenauk Nature. Located just across the Ottawa River minutes from downtown Ottawa, Gatineau has one of the largest networks of crosscountry ski trails in North America with more than 200 kilometres of groomed runs and 45 kilometres of back-country trails. There are day shelters with woodburning stoves, and cabins and yurts for overnight stays. For the kids: Visit Parc Oméga, a wild animal park. Here you can slip on your snowshoes and go exploring among the
elk and white-tailed deer, or stay overnight in one of the park’s new lodgings near the wolves’ enclosure: choose from a prospector tent, yurt or house on stilts. In the morning follow the Park guides as they feed the wild animals. Another fun stop is at the Arbraska Laflèche Aerial Park where the kids will love the tree-top trekking and zip-lining, and can experience the largest visited cave in the Canadian Shield. Quebec – where there’s nothing like a good winter celebration. My wife and I found that the coolest place for a cocktail is in a bar made of ice, and a new food we crave is some hot maple syrup on the snow at a midmountain sugar shack. Our accommodations included a bed of ice at the Hotel du Glace, a ski chalet with the fire crackling in Mont-Sainte-Anne and a quiet cabin in the woods at Kenauk Nature - cosy and classy.

‘The REALTOR® Initiative’ News Lumby shoots for court repairs RICHARD ROLKE
“It certainly needs to be upgraded.”
Morning Star Staff
Improved basketball facilities could move ahead in Lumby. The White Valley Parks, Recreation and Culture Committee is considering upgrades to the Oval Park basketball court in conjunction with the 2014/2015 B.C. Girls A Basketball Provincials Committee. “They are getting deteriorated and they would like the facilities repaired,” said Eugene Foisy, WVPRCC director. WVPRCC won’t make a final decision on improvements until the 2015 budget is completed. “We don’t know the cost of it yet,” said Foisy. During a presentation, the B.C. Girls A Basketball Provincials Committee raised numerous concerns about the current condition of the basketball court. “The baskets vary in height and the nets are falling off,” said Jennie Currie, provincials committee spokesperson. “The surface is difficult to dribble on and there are no court lines.” Currie is suggesting a joint project between her committee and WVPRCC to upgrade the court to include rubber tiles or textured paint. “The basketball provincial committee has funds it would like to donate to the project,” she said. “We are asking for the Regional District of North Okanagan to provide manpower and equipment for the project.” Currie believes an enhanced court will provide more opportunities for youth to be active. “We can host events like three-on-three competitions,” she said. Rick Fairbairn, WVPRCC chairperson, is hope-
— Rick Fairbairn ful that improvements can be made to the court. “It certainly needs to be upgraded and we will look at it further,” he said.

Half a dozen impounds for speeding Morning Star Staff
Some disturbing trends are being observed by the RCMP’s North Okanagan Traffic Services (NOTS). Officers conducted a Lazer speed enforcement operation on Wednesday, on Highway 97 by Crystal Waters, between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. The campaign focused on southbound traffic. During that time period six vehicles were impounded for excessive speeding. “The excessive speeds ranged from 46 to 56 kilometers over the speed limit,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “One of these drivers was a Novice driver. “ During the enforcement Gord Molendyk operation they also had a drug seizure and one of the speeders caught doing 39 kms over the speed limit was a prohibited driver under the Motor Vehicle Act. The driver’s vehicle was impounded for seven days. In total, 23 other tickets were handed out for speeding, including one to a driver of a commercial vehicle. One ticket was also issued for driving without a seatbelt. “With these excessive speeding tickets issued Wednesday, it brings the total this unit has issued to just under three times the number they issued all of last year,” said Molendyk. NOTS officers want to remind everyone to slow down for the weather and road conditions at this time of year, as both can change at any time. The traffic unit would like to inform the public that the ICBC traffic initiative for November is “Speed Relative to Conditions.” A second disturbing trend that the traffic unit has discovered is that they noticed a lot of empty beer cans in the Lumby area. NOTS members launched a surprise two-night impaired driving blitz. “The hours targeted might surprise some people,” said Molendyk. “The checks were between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. and resulted in five Immediate Roadside Prohibitions (IRPs). All five IRPs were within two kilometres of J.W. Inglis Elementary School. “What the officers found disturbing was one of the drivers had their 13-month-old child in the vehicle at the time,” said Molendyk. “Several drivers had open liquor in their vehicles.” Officers also discovered firearm offences associated to hunting.

Brad Case
Shuswap boaters a concern RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The brakes may be put on speeding boaters on the Shuswap River. The Enderby and District Services Commission is investigating whether nowake buoys should be installed along portions of the Shuswap River. “They would be markers urging boaters to slow down,” said Brad Case, commission director. There have been long-standing concerns that speeding boats may pose a risk to tubers while the wake created by the boats could erode the river bank. The commission has the ability to install buoys but it has no enforcement ability as the Shuswap River is the jurisdiction of various federal and provincial agencies. The next step is to consider the possible expenditure during the development of the 2015 budget. “Staff will make further inquiries to responsible provincial and federal entities to ensure the information received thus far is consistent with regulatory requirements and fulfills, at least in part, the requirement to demonstrate a local effort to achieve voluntary compliance,” said Tate Bengtson, Enderby’s chief administrative officer. The preliminary cost is $2,500 per buoy. As part of the budget process, commission members will also look at the hand-launches on the river to see if upgrades are needed for the sites used by kayakers and others.

Maintenance remains JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
T h e Fa m i l y R e s o u r c e C e n t r e promotes and supports the well-being of i n d i v i d u a l s a n d f a m i l i e s, i n a l l t h e i r d i v e r s i t y
Help us build a healthier North Okanagan. Learning to deal with depression… At the Family Resource Centre we see many clients with depression. The following account is a compilation and does not represent any one person. Most sufferers of depression will be able to identify with this account from “Brenda.” Brenda writes, “I have suffered from depression for over a decade and through counselling I have learned that there is no shame in it. Not only was it tough on me but my family too. They spent their time tiptoeing around me wondering if I would blow up or burst in to tears. Friends would say to me, “Depressed? You’ve got a great job! A wonderful family! What’s your problem?” At my lowest moments, everything and everyone was a threat. In an anxious state, all I could see were the things I couldn’t do or didn’t have, and people I couldn’t be. No matter what I did, I felt it would never be enough. It was a painful experience and I was scared, lonely, and exhausted. I had days when I stayed in bed, under the covers, unable to get up. What a dreadful ordeal to put my family through.
Parks restructuring nearly forced the prized Jeffers Park from the maintenance schedule in Coldstream. While the park is not owned by the district, it is a popular place for children and families year-round in Lavington, with its ice rink. “It is really well used and Doug Dirk referred to by many as a gem,” said Edith Thoreson, Lavington Community Association director. The LCA, a small group of volunteers, looks after Jeffers Park yearround, with a break in the summer. During that time, regional district parks staff mowed the grass at the park previously. The LCA already presented concerns to Coldstream about Jeffers Park in the past, due to the regional
parks transfers. “We were told that they were working to give us the same level of service or better,” said Thoreson. Yet a staff recommendation at Monday’s council meeting read: “remove Jeffers Park from the District of Coldstream’s maintenance contract.” Council agreed to remove that line from the recommendation. “Primarily it’s just cutting of the grass and it’s not a huge amount of grass,” said Coun. Doug Dirk. Coldstream took over parks as of Jan. 1, 2014 and has been analyzing the services and costs. Part of the discussion has included estimating costs to bring the Kalavista Road log house up to code for residential use. The Kalview tennis courts are also being looked at again. Following tenders which came in way over budget, Coldstream is reducing the scope of the base constructions by half at an estimated budget of $90,000.
After much therapy with a great counsellor I am learning to deal with my depression and anxiety. I now feel equipped with a number of strategies to help me through difficult episodes, and the new found coping methods I use are working.

Funds in doubt JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
A failure to follow due process could leave a local organization without funds from Coldstream. The Restorative Justice Society has put in a funding request for $3,588. While Coldstream will appease the request with $1,000, it is cautioning the society that there is a proper process for submitting applications. Along with being late, the application did not include financial statements. Jim Garlick “Let’s make it very clear to them that if they don’t get back to us with the information they won’t get funding,” said Coun. Peter McClean. Neighbourhood co-operation Coldstream is hooking onto a couple of new regional agreements. An intermunicipal sewage service bylaw is being established to replace the existing agreement dating back to 1994. In fact, the process for a new agreement began back in 2010. “It’s been a long time coming,” said Mayor Jim Garlick. Third reading of this bylaw, as well as a new intermunicipal emergency operations service bylaw, took place at Monday’s council meeting.

Computer teacher Jay Donaldson connects Vernon Christian School students through Petra’s Planet Cara Brady Morning Star Staff
Jay Donaldson has watched computer and then internet use in schools grow over his past 25 years of teaching. “I graduated from the University of Calgary with a major in early childhood development and a minor in computers which wasn’t that relevant at the time. I’d always enjoyed working with kids and teaching Sunday School, even before we had our own family,” said Donaldson, who made the career change after starting as a gas fitter. He helped students and families as home computers became more common and were used in the school, taking as many workshops as he could to improve his teaching on the subject. “I always thought about how I could use computers to enhance learning and give the students skills they could use for their whole lives,” he said. “Now I find, particularly in the last four years, that students bring iPods, cell phones and play stations to school and are able to go on the internet, Facebook, Twitter and other social networks when they want. “I was talking to a friend in the police force who told me about the problems with sexual predators and other issues like bullying online and I knew we should be doing something to help kids understand what they are doing when they go online and interact with people.” He wanted young people to know how to protect themselves and others online and to get the best from positive aspects of the internet world. He polled his students about their internet access and use and found that about half the students ages 10 to 12 had easy access and take their devices everywhere with them. Parents may know their children have Facebook accounts but not about other, secret accounts. “I asked them how they learned to go on the internet, who to talk to, how to post pictures and most of them said from friends, older siblings, experimenting and what they

Vernon Christian School computer teacher Jay Donaldson works on lesson plans in the school’s computer lab. The classes use the Petra’s Planet for Schools social media platform to teach students in Grades 5 and 6 to use the internet safely for school and personal projects. learned at school. Few parents seemed to help them or have any input to internet use, although some families had rules and supervised internet use,” said Donaldson. “We were teaching computer use at school at the appropriate grade levels but more the learning aspect. I thought it was time to be teaching wider skills, for example how innocent postings or photos can affect them later on when it comes to education or employment opportunities. They need to know how to find out if what they see online is true, and other basic skills.” Donaldson found a software program designed for students, Petra’s Planet for Schools social media platform. The program mimics the internet with features like email, chat, cameras, sending photos, sharing blogs and shopping online. Students can not leave
the program and can use it only under the supervision of the teacher. He used it as a pilot program last year. “The kids liked it and it encouraged conversation with the parents about appropriate internet use. Petra’s Planet is used in four countries around the world and I’m looking forward to connecting with other schools which use it so we can do things like the modern version of pen pals. The program lets teachers talk with students about how they use social media and to discuss issues like bullying or inappropriate comments or photos. I tell them, ‘You don’t have to post everything you think.’ We discuss the meanings of post and how to think about posts so that they say what you mean. Teaching social media gives me another avenue to talk to kids about the things in their lives.”
He remains concerned that parents may think their child would never misuse or be mislead by social media and don’t know what their children are doing, but said this is something that can happen to anyone. “As a parent, you hope what you teach children will prepare them for life and social media is part of our world now and everyone needs to know how to use it. We teach the concepts so that the students can make informed decisions. I had one student tell me last year that he had never thought about the consequences of internet use before and now he will. It’s a very gratifying subject to teach.” Donaldson hopes more parents will discuss and learn about responsible use of social media and the internet with their children.

Vernon dental hygienist honoured
Hygienists Association for her commitment to improving the dental health of those less fortunate.
She has consistently volunteered two afternoons per week since October 2012, providing dental hygiene ser-
vices at the non-profit dental clinic in Vernon. “Poverty and oral health are very closely linked and I did not have to travel to Third World countries to find dental neglect; it is here in our Canadian cities amongst the disadvantaged of our society,” said Lighthall, when asked about her commitment to volunteering. If you are a resident of the North Okanagan and are experiencing financial barriers to accessing regular dental
and with their peers.” As a means to launch this support group and encourage male youth to engage in this initiative, and in partnership with the Vernon Family Resource Centre and Health Promoting Schools, the nursing students are bringing a speaker from Vancouver, David Hatfield, to hold a one-day workshop Thursday for a group of 30 young men, ages 13 to 16, in the community. Hatfield is a leader-
ship consultant and facilitator specializing in the design and delivery of transformative, experiential education. He will speak on what it is to be a man today, and this will facilitate the development of positive coping and enable youth to connect with the community, their peers and available resources. “Fundraising efforts are under way and we encourage local businesses to get involved and support this initia-
tive and youth in the North Okanagan,” said Fentiman. “We will follow up after the presentation to recognize the sponsors of this important event and all funds raised will go towards the development and implementation of the male adolescent program in addition to funding the David Hatfield presentation.

Nursing students focus on mental health
Morning Star Staff
A group of fourthyear nursing students at UBC Okanagan are passionate about promoting youth mental health in the community. April Coulson, Amanda Sakamoto, Samaya Fentiman and Kyla MacPhail are on a mission to make Vernon a safer, healthier and happier place for male youth through support, education, resource expansion and community development. “Our aim is to promote awareness of adolescent mental health and to encourage a supportive and inclusive environment for youth to engage in personal growth and development,” said Fentiman. Specifically, they intend to address barriers and issues faced by male youth in the community by developing a six-week program that has the potential to become an established group. “Mental health issues such as stress, depression, anxiety, bullying/ violence, and substance abuse/use are some of the primary health problems experienced by young people in their teens and early 20s,” she said. “It is estimated that one in five young people will develop a mental disorder that requires professional intervention. “Many other young people struggle with mild to moderate mental health problems that impair a young person’s ability to function at home, at school or work,

Straight from the hands of local artisans Morning Star Staff
When Susan Richards isn’t bending and plying silver, or beading designs into her one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces, she is coordinating one of the longest running Christmas artisan/craft fairs in the Okanagan. A huge task, to say the least, it takes time and energy to not only make and design her original jewelry, but to organize the annual Okanagan Artisans Guild Show and Sale, which celebrates its 35th year this coming Friday and Saturday. The three ballrooms of the Best Western Vernon Lodge will once again be filled to the rafters with locallyhandcrafted fine arts and crafts by the show’s 40 vendors. Richards has been involved with the guild’s show since 2002, when her mom urged her to show her work. “(She) had been a big part of the show herself in its early years,” said Richards. “After my first year as a vendor, I was asked to take over as organizer of the show and did so with lots of help from fellow artisan participants Debbee Werner and Karen Thoresen.” Richards has had success making her living from art. Raised in Vernon, she was predisposed and surrounded by art as a child, and her favourite subjects in high school were art and physical education. “From very early on I knew that I wanted to make a living with my art,” said Richards. “I have always been surrounded by art of some kind as
my grandfather was a painter and my mom, a weaver.” Richards’ first summer job out of high school was at the Vernon Community Arts Centre, where she worked for one year before being accepted to the Alberta College of Art. After returning from college, she became the assistant arts coordinator at the centre and a few years later took on the leading coordinator position until the birth of her first daughter.
“I am dedicated to the whole idea behind the creation of the (Okanagan Artisans Guild) show.” — Susan Richards
“Both my husband and I felt strongly about one of us staying home to look after our two girls, Kaitlyn and Alexandra, so that is what I chose to do,” she said. “During these years I taught art classes to children as well as the mentally challenged and continued to dabble with different types of mediums, including stained glass, mosaics, felting, lampwork beads and silversmithing.” Richards has since turned that dabbling into a successful business with her Studio 401 jewelry line, which she says showcases an eclectic mix of contemporary and classic styles.
“My tag line is live unique,” said Richards, whose jewelry is described as an interesting mix of rustic and hard-edged, balanced by a kind of softness. “I love incorporating found objects, be it old silver spoons or vintage beads, which makes for many one-of-a-kind pieces. All of my work is oxidized to give it that vintage look, reflecting the inspiration from which it came.” Richards says she is looking forward to seeing what her fellow jewellers, as well as potters, glassworkers, sculptors, woodworkers, painters, soap makers, textile and felt artists, candle makers and other artisans have in store for the guild show. “I am dedicated to the whole idea behind the creation of the show, which is to showcase local artisans, particularly as professionals who work so hard at trying to make a living from their art, skills and products,” said Richards. “The show also promotes locally handcrafted wares, which are becoming less viable as mass importation invades our market.” Hours for the Okanagan Artisans Guild Show and Sale at the Best Western Vernon Lodge are Friday, noon to 8 p.m. and Saturday, 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Admission is free of charge. Visitors can enter to win the door prize of a fine dining experience at the Vernon Lodge’s BX Creek Bar & Grill, valued at $100. More info is available at okanaganartisansguild.com or the Okanagan Artisans Guild’s Facebook page.

Bluegrass band reunites for next Vernon Folk-Roots Music Society show ALESSANDRA WOODWARD Contributed to The Morning Star
Last month, the Vernon Folk-Roots Music Society was honoured to host the amazingly talented indie blues and folk singer-songwriter Ann Vriend. Next, the VFRMS presents Canadian Whitewater, a local bluegrass quartet guaranteed to make your toes tap and your inner dancer take to the floor, Saturday at the Vernon Army Navy Air Force Spitfire Lounge. With enough instruments between them to start a whole new band, Canadian Whitewater have wowed crowds with their traditional bluegrass style for more than a generation, and now they are reuniting again to bring the fun home.
Members Chris Stevens, Bert Jensen, Charlie Veaudry and Jim LeDuc have all played and performed as solo artists, as well as in various award winning bands, for most of their lives. The group took some time off after the tragic loss of honoured banjo player Gene Bretecher last year, but after a show done in memoriam for their departed band mate last May, they are ready to reunite again and showcase their incredible passion for bluegrass. Fans new and old will be treated to fiddle playing, banjo picking, two- and three-part harmonies, and even some unique instrumental appearances (namely, the “bandolin” or “manjo,” they haven’t decided which title
to go with yet), which will be sure to delight fans of the bluegrass genre and music aficionados alike. Each member of the band brings his own unique inspiration to the group, with influences ranging from country to blues (Veaudry continues to play in a blues band in Mexico every year), to folk and old-time bluegrass. And each brings his own form of passion for live music as well, so the audience is always in for a rare treat of upbeat, driving sound delivering the “classic heartbreak message that still can’t manage to make a person sad when the banjo is being played,” said guitar player and lead vocalist Veaudry. Opening for the band is Vernon’s contemporary folk singer-songwriter Carolyn Anele.
Anele’s music is a blend of traditional folk, Celtic, country, and bluegrass, and her charming voice along with personable stage presence will be sure to touch hearts. Anele’s third recording, Where Birds Sing, mixes traditional themes and cosmopolitan country-rock songs that make her a rising star in the folk scene. Her performance is sure to be the perfect segue into the feature bluegrass performance, but Anele has enough talent to take the stage on her own and will likely gain a few new fans who haven’t already had the pleasure of experiencing her music. Tickets for the show, which starts at 7:30 p.m., are $20 available online at www.vernonfolkroots.com, at the Bean Scene, or the door. VFRMS members receive $5 off at the door.

Cape Breton siblings bring holiday cheer Morning Star Staff

The Barra MacNeils are on tour with An East Coast Christmas, which stops at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Wednesday as a fundraiser for the Kindale Developmental Association and Teens Count Too.

Original Management ★ Bigger & Better! Friday November 21st, 2014 11:00 am - 8:00 pm
With a bodhran, piano, various stringed instruments, a penny whistle or two and five voices blended in perfect harmony, the Barra MacNeils are returning to Vernon to perform their favourite holiday songs. The siblings are bringing An East Coast Christmas to the Performing Arts Centre Wednesday, and guests will be treated to some holiday magic. Deeply rooted in Celtic music, culture, dance, language and history, this year marks more than 27 years for the Sydney Mines, Cape Breton Island-based family group. Their live concerts have become legendary, with the MacNeils trading lead vocals and combining harmonies, along with top drawer instrumental prowess on a wide variety of acoustic, stringed, percussion and wind instruments. Blend that with dancing, storytelling, comedy, Gaelic songs and a journey through an ancient culture, and it is family entertainment at the highest level. The Barra MacNeils are also known for celebrating the holiday season. They have released three Christmas albums, featuring their original arrangements to classic carols and traditional Celtic fare such as Oh Holy Night, Ave Maria, A Christmas in Killarney and Auld Lang Syne. The latest, O Christmas Three, was released last year and their live Christmas shows in support of the albums have continued to tour Canada, as well as in the U.S. and overseas, to sold-out houses. Profits from the Vernon concert and a silent auction will be shared between the Kindale Developmental Association and Teens Count Too “because people with diverse abilities and young adults are often forgotten during the holiday season,” said Kindale executive director B Elliot. Kindale provides services to more than 450 adults with diverse abilities in the North Okanagan. Teens Count Too provides gifts distributed through the Salvation Army to hundreds of teens in Vernon, Armstrong, Enderby and Salmon Arm at Christmas time. “I’m so proud to be involved with this 100 per cent volunteer organization and we cannot thank you enough for your support of Teens Count Too and teens in our community.... What can be better than enjoying the sounds of the holiday and holiday shopping with the silent auction,” said Kindale development officer Cindy Masters. The Barra MacNeils take the stage at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $30 (all seats) and are available at the Ticket Seller box office. Call 549-7469 or order online at www.ticketseller.ca.

Kids’ hero has adult problems
H
Big Hero 6
iro, a 14-year-old genius, invents microbots that will get him into his choice of robotics school. He is devastated when a mysterious fire destroys the school, his microbots and his brother, Taylor and Howe who was trying to save his illustrious professor. A team of misfit students, Hiro’s four friends, join forces with his late brother’s school project, Baymax, a friendly, helpful, inflatable health care robot. They become an unlikely squad of would-be superheros called Big Hero 6, fighting the masked man who has stolen Hiro’s microbot technology and is using it to terrorize San Fransokyo. We say, “It’s fun, full of action, a little scary, and a little adult themed.” TAYLOR: I liked Big Hero 6. The kids and the adults in the audience responded to the humour, action and drama. I would say, based solely on audience reaction, the film’s a success. But the film is very PG. There may be some parental guidance required. There was more than one moment during the movie where a chorus of kids erupted in questions. HOWE: I didn’t get any questions from my little boy, but maybe it went over his head. He is only seven after all. FENIN: I didn’t see anything over my head, Dad.
Reel Reviews
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Disney
Hiro tries to squeeze Baymax into his protective suit in Big Hero 6. HOWE: Big Hero 6 is a great movie. I thought The Lego Movie was going to be the best animated film of 2014, but this really does give it a run for its money. I laughed at the jokes, felt for Hiro’s sorrow, and cheered silently to myself when they defeated the bad guy. Disney have outdone themselves bringing Marvel’s comic to life the way they did. They could have played it safe and gone a little cheesy and cute with the storyline, but I liked that they didn’t, choosing a serious plot instead. Saying that, the younger audience will still enjoy it. FENIN: I really liked the little robots at the beginning. Can I have one for Christmas, Dad? I laughed really hard at the hairy baby cat, that was so funny. “Hairy baby...” Funny! Brian, my dad is like Baymax. TAYLOR: Because of his belly?
FENIN: No, because he’s my hero. TAYLOR: Aw, speaking of cheesy and cute, Baymax is designed to be cute, helpful and everyone loves him. The first half of the movie establishes sympathy for Hiro and Baymax with typical Disney acumen. The mystery of what really happened with the fire moves the second act along. The third act is a tale of revenge, where our hero, Hiro, nearly becomes a murderer. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fine for little kids to see more adultthemed stories and it’s been cool to kill the wicked witch for a long time. Everything ends happily and overall you feel like you’ve had a good time with Big Hero 6. – Howe gives Big Hero 6 four trams out of 5. – Fenin gives it 5 microbots out of 5. – Taylor gives it 3.5 kabuki masks out of 5.

Artist seeks community stories Morning Star Staff
Heather Cline, the current artist-in-residence at the Caetani Cultural Centre, is looking for participants to take part in her project: Quiet Stories from Canadian Places. Cline is looking for both historical and new stories, from all age groups and ethnicities, to connect life histories and how they relate to communities. The work, which will result in a series of paintings and new media works, is being created for a touring exhibition in 2017 that will celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday. “I have started to describe the history I collect as quiet stories. They are recollections from everyday people who don’t think they’re important, but they are actually very important because their recollections create a different translation of the art for every person who views it,” said Cline. “I believe that it also opens a dialogue where the viewing public begins to reflect on their personal stories related to place.” Recently awarded the Saskatchewan Lieutenant Governor’s Award in the arts and learning category, Cline grew up in the Saskatoon community of Sutherland, where she witnessed a small town being consumed by a city. This limbo between prairie past and prairie present continues to inform her multimedia practice. Since completing her master’s in fine art at the University of
presents…
Saskatchewan in 2001, she has continued to work in painting and new media, exploring narratives around place and personal history. Cline is living and working at the Caetani Cultural Centre as part of a self-directed resi-
dency for November and part of December. For more information or to participate in Cline’s project, contact the Caetani Centre at 250-275-1525 (9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday to Friday), or visit www. caetani.ca.

HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist MARCIA BELEY
If we have an injury, our blood platelets are important in helping the blood to clot. Platelet levels can drop due to disease, kidney dysfunction or even drinking too much alcohol. Blood transfusions can increase platelet levels but researchers are working on new ways of making human platelets using human stem cells. If successful, it will reduce the demand for donor blood. Bladder control isn’t easy for some people. Sometimes it’s just a sneeze, a cough or sudden laughter that will cause urine to flow and it can be embarrassing. To have better bladder control, keep your weight in control. Don’t smoke. Smoking can double your chances of developing incontinence. Keep active. Keep coffee and alcohol consumption down. These can irritate the bladder. Men can get breast cancer too. Here’s a few things to watch for: Nipples turning inward; puckering of the skin in the breast area; nipples becoming red and scaly; discharge from the nipples. See your doctor for a check-up. Early detection means there is more options for early successful treatment. There are two vaccines that seniors should get. One is the vaccine against pneumonia. The other is the antishingles vaccine which is recommended for all adults over 60 with no immune system problems. You may have to pay for it yourself although some private drug plans may cover it. Talk to our pharmacists about these and other vaccines. Vaccines do work and save much pain and health costs down the road.

Hormones Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy. 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 uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

IMPLANT SUPPORTED DENTURE Are loose dentures a problem for you? Soup to Nutz
If your dentures shift while chewing or talking and you are tired of those embarrasing moments, consider dental implants for stabilization. Imagine your denture snapping into place, feeling solid and secure. Often a new denture is not necessary. Your existing denture can be made to fit your new implants.

Fall Hazards for Pets
Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder WAS HE PUSHED, OR DID HE FALL? Jason Derulo, a singersongwriter and dancer, said, “If you think you’ve already made it, that’s when you can fall short and go backwards. I’m constantly pushing forward and chasing the element of perfection.” It is impossible to find perfection at the bridge table. Mary Fort of St. Louis, Missouri, sent me this deal with the heading: Pushed to Slam. What do you think of the auction at her table during a duplicate? Most players would open one spade with that West hand. However, it is not silly to pass, hoping to make a descriptive two-suited bid on the second round. Some Norths would have
overcalled four hearts, especially at the favorable vulnerability. There is an expression “bid more with six-four,” so presumably one should bid even more with seven-four. Over an opponent’s weak jump overcall, responder with support for partner’s major suit should bid one level higher than he would have done in an uncontested auction. Here, East’s hand was worth a gameinvitational limit raise, so he should have jumped to four spades. (With a game-forcing spade raise, East would have cue-bid four hearts.) South’s four diamonds was risky because it could have been passed out. But when the auction played out perfectly, South might well have bid seven diamonds
over five spades. North had to be void in spades, and declarer could have either ruffed all of her spade losers or established North’s heart suit. If North had king-high hearts, it would have been just too bad ... unlucky! Here, seven diamonds would have been easy to make.
Antifreeze — Pets are attracted to the sweet taste of ethylene glycol, the main ingredient in antifreeze. It only takes a small amount of ethylene glycol to poison or kill a dog or cat. Think of pets when purchasing antifreeze as there is non-toxic anti-freeze available. Be particular when storing antifreeze and thoroughly clean any spills. Arthritis — Cold weather can make for painful joints and it is the same for our pets. The change in weather aggravates conditions such as arthritis. If your older pet wakes up stiff, prefers lying to sitting or standing, or is reluctant to go upstairs, they may have arthritic pain. Discuss these symptoms with your veterinarian to see what supplement or medication would be appropriate for your pet. Mushrooms — Consider all mushrooms to be toxic to dogs. Ingestion of mushrooms can cause vomiting, diarrhea and potential liver damage. Parasol shaped mushrooms or little brown mushrooms are extremely toxic so try to avoid taking your pet into areas with these present. Keep your yard clean. Rodenticides — This time of year mice and rats are seeking warmer accommodations. Putting out rodenticides will get rid of the rodents, but can be potentially fatal to your dog or cat. The most common poisons found in rodenticides which can be fatal to your pet are anticoagulants, bromethalin and phosphides. If you suspect that your pet may have ingested a rodenticide, take them immediately to your veterinarian ( with the packaging if possible).

1. Revitalization Tax Exemption Program • Replace Schedule ‘A’ of Bylaw 5362, with New Schedule ‘A’, indicating adjusted boundaries in conjunction with the new ‘Official Community Plan Bylaw 5470, 2013’. For more information on the Revitalization Tax Exemption Program, please visit the City of Vernon website at www.vernon.ca, or contact Rob Miles by email at rmiles@vernon.ca or by phone at 250-550-3634.
Okanagan College says it will welcome one of the sector’s leaders to its executive team when Roy Daykin starts as vice-president of finance and administration Dec. 15. Daykin brings nearly three decades of leadership experience in post-secondary; he was most recently vicepresident of administration and community engagement at Langara College. Prior to that role, Daykin spent three years in senior executive roles at Langara, serving terms as the institution’s vice-president of administration and finance, associate vicepresident of administration and finance and Langara’s interim president. “Roy is a highly respected leader in our sector and his experience will be a valuable asset to our college,” said Jim Hamilton, OC president. “He has provided outstanding service to other post-secondary institutions and a school district and will bring a wealth of relevant experience to our institution and our region.” Daykin also spent nine years at Kwantlen University College and 16 years at Douglas College. “Okanagan College has a great reputation and there are so many reasons I am looking forward to joining the team,” said Daykin. “There is such a strong sense of community in the Okanagan and the college is deeply engaged with the community and that is very important to me.” Daykin replaces Robert Eby, who retires Dec. 18 after serving seven years as OC’s vicepresident of finance.
