MP showing support for prime minister Colin Mayes backing Stephen Harper amid senator’s allegations RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Okanagan-Shuswap MP Colin Mayes is standing firmly behind Prime Minister Stephen Harper. On Tuesday, embattled Senator Mike Duffy alleged that Harper was directly involved in discussions around expenses. Harper has stated a former employee acted alone when Duffy was provided $90,000. “The prime minister has been up front all along,” said Mayes after the Conservative Colin Mayes caucus meeting in Ottawa Wednesday. “The prime minister has never said, ‘The perception wasn’t good or we have to do this for public scrutiny.’ He said, ‘If there is inappropriate spending, it must be repaid.’” Mayes insists that a Conservative priority has Mike Duffy been expanding transparency within government. “People have to remember whose government uncovered this and asked the RCMP to investigate,” he said. “The general public recognizes that the prime minister has said we are going to make government more accountable and we’re doing that.” Duffy’s allegations have led to rapid-fire criticism from the NDP and the Liberals and the controversy has dominated national media. However, Mayes says he isn’t concerned that the reputation of the federal government is being damaged. “I don’t think we should all be broad-brushed. The opposition is saying we are all bad guys and that’s not true,” he said.

Ground broken on complex RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

It isn’t hard to imagine a runner soaring over hurdles or a tackle on the 40-yard line. As heavy machinery pushed dirt around, local politicians and sports enthusiasts gathered Wednesday to kick off construction of the sports facility next to Okanagan College. “This is a great thing for our community,” said Bill Tarr, a minor football coach. “It will spur on a lot of community pride.” An Olympic-sized track and artificial field are expected to renew interest in sports, particularly among local youth. “We are tremendously excited,” said Ian Cameron, head coach with the

Vernon AAA Track and Field Club. One of the challenges for the club has been the lack of a regulation-sized track in Vernon. Many athletes have had to leave town for training. “There’s a huge push for Paralympics and we couldn’t touch that before,” said Cameron. Earlier this year, Greater Vernon residents voted to borrow $7.5 million for the sports complex. Earth work is currently being done and over the winter, final design details will be established. The construction portion of the project will go to tender in the spring and the facility should be completed by November 2014. “It feels good to see it start,” said Jim Garlick, Coldstream mayor, after the

groundbreaking ceremony. ““It will really help the college and the community. It improves the entrance to Coldstream and Vernon.” Okanagan College has suggested the facility could allow it to develop some new courses such as sports medicine. Patrick Nicol, Regional District of North Okanagan chairperson, anticipates that a range of residents will use the facility. “Think of the minor football, lacrosse and track and field that can happen here,” he said. “Everyone is running these days. People 50-plus will benefit.” There is also an anticipation that the facility will bolster the economy by hosting large events such as the B.C. Summer Games.

Field OF ScreamS

richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Lisa VanderVeLde/Morning star

Bob Lindley and Sandi Dixon can’t believe what’s lurking inside the coffin during the Haunted Corn Maze at O’Keefe Ranch. The Field of Screams, which is hosted by the ranch and the Okanagan Science Centre, runs today, Saturday, Oct. 29 and Oct. 30 from 6 to 9 p.m., while the Screams of Scientific Delight, Not Fright Family Daze takes place Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Driveway hits the pages running Morning Star Staff

Starting today, The Morning Star is introducing Driveway, our new weekly automotive feature and multimediastacked website, designed to inform and entertain with brightly written stories from our Made in B.C. team. O n l i n e , Driveway will have photo galleries Keith Morgan and video players – with official, HD footage from the world’s premiere automakers. “Yours truly will bring you the latest news from all of the international

launches and auto shows and make sure Driveway speaks to all of our readers, not just car nuts,” said Keith Morgan, Driveway editor. Zack Spencer, co-host of Canada’s highest-rated auto show Driving Television and voice of a nationally syndicated radio show, will tell you what is hot and not among the new models. Women play a decision-making role in more than 80 per cent of car purchases; Alexandra Straub will help them make the right decision. In Near New, technical wizard Bob McHugh will pick out the best in previously loved cars. Ian Harwood will join us soon with his column, Just Trucks. “The launch of Driveway is good

news for readers as well as the BC auto industry, which is a $10 billion business that employs 34,000 direct and indirect jobs in the new car industry in this province,” said Blair Qualey, president and CEO of the B.C. New Car Dealers Association. “Car buyers throughout the province will now get the sort of auto news and information previously enjoyed only by residents of the larger metro areas. The breadth of the coverage will benefit new car dealerships of all brands by exposing a large new readership to their products. A knowledgeable buyer is good for all brands.” Look for Driveway on pages B13 to B20 in today’s edition of The Morning Star.

Final details are being hammered out on Greater Vernon’s new parks structure. Representatives from Coldstream, Vernon and the electoral areas have general consensus on operating subregional parks, or those which have broad use and all jurisdictions contribute towards. “The partners are trying to make the process work from a financial standpoint,” said Richard Enns, a Coldstream councillor. “People want to see a continued level of service.” Under the draft agreement, the City of Vernon will maintain the sub-regional parks in Vernon and Richard Enns Coldstream. “There would be a contract with Vernon that provides stability of costing and they have the (labour/equipment) resources,” said Enns. Areas B and C would determine how their sub-regional parks are maintained. “This allows us to go to the open market or to tap into volunteers,” said Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director. “We will save $300,000 a year for our residents in Areas B and C.” All jurisdictions will be responsible for maintenance of what are classified as local parks. The number of sub-regional assets has grown with the inclusion of Creekside Park in Coldstream and the swimming pools at Lakeview and Lavington parks. Rob Sawatzky, Vernon mayor, says the city is looking forward to continuing with maintenance of sub-regional parks in the city and Coldstream. “We will deliver the service at the 2013 cost with a cost of living change,” he said, adding that the operations agreement benefits all jurisdictions. “There is more control of parks, a certainty that there will be no increase in costs and it (maintenance) will be more responsive.”

Water legislation generates local debate richard rolke Morning Star Staff

North Okanagan politicians are closely watching proposed changes to how water is governed. Armstrong and Spallumcheen officials met with Environment Minister Mary Polak Tuesday to discuss the new Water Sustainability Act. “We asked about registering wells and how they will control that,” said Janice Brown, Spallumcheen mayor. “We also want to know how they will figure out how much water people can use. We don’t want them to tell people with wells and groundwater what they can’t use.” Brown is also concerned the legislation could lead to provincial downloading on municipalities. “When people are angry about water, it’s our office they walk into, not the ministry,” she said.

“They fine tune the rules to protect themselves.” Because Armstrong has few wells and gets its water from Fortune Creek, the city isn’t concerned about the new legislation. “The process won’t impact Armstrong a whole lot,” said Mayor Chris Pieper. The Water Sustainability Act will focus on stream health, consider water in landuse decisions, regulate and protect groundwater, regulate water-use during times of scarcity, improve water use efficiency, measure and report large scale water use and provide for a range of governance approaches. “It’s a full and complete rewrite of complex legislation,” said Polak. “There are no regulations for groundwater whatsoever. Even the legislation for surface water is outdated.” Polak says her ministry is aware of the pres-

sure for water in the fast-growing Okanagan. “The legislation will enable a range of gov-

ernance options of the water resource,” she said. “You could see a

water sustainability plan in local regions where there is greater community involvement.”

British Columbians can provide feedback on the legislation until Nov. 15.

The Township of Spallumcheen has joined the City of Armstrong in agreeing

to fund the construction of a temporary bay for the Armstrong Spallumcheen Fire Department’s new truck.

The bay will be built eight-feet at the back of an existing bay and will be 16-feet high and 18-feet across. “The vehicles will be

backed into the bay and will be facing the front door,” said township chief financial officer Brian Freeman-Marsh. “It’s an enclosed rectangle with a roof.” The fire department requested approval to construct a temporary bay for its new truck due to the length of the truck. Township administrator Greg Betts told council fire chief Ian Cummings explored temporary options including reconfiguring vehicle locations in existing bays, housing a vehicle in another public facility and moving non-first response vehicles outdoors. None were viable options as during the winter, all emergency response vehicles carrying water or pumping water must be housed indoors to avoid freezing. That includes the

vehicles being readily accessible and operational at all times. The fire department provided the city and township with a quote from Maddocks Construction Ltd. of $11,149.60 plus GST. Armstrong voted to pay its half, though Coun. Sully O’Sullivan was opposed because the quote did not include mechanical, electrical or painting, nor did it include the cost of a building permit. Spallumcheen Coun. Rachael Ganson expressed similar concerns. Council voted unanimously on a staff recommendation to proceed with the temporary bay expansion to an approximate cost of $12,000, not including the items listed in the quote: mechanical, electrical and painting.

A former Vernon politician is being remembered. Rosalie Gower, who died Oct. 13, was a city councillor in 1972. The 82-year-old was also a former commissioner of the Canadian Radio and Television Commission and played a role in Canadian content rules while in Ottawa. “Retiring from the government in 1992, she built an organic farm on the hills above Vernon and experimented with market gardening,” said Rosalie Gower son John Gower. “Towards the end of the 1990s, she started to spend most of her time in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, where she became well known for her charity work. She played an important role in the planning and fundraising for Alma, home for local seniors whose families do not have the means to care for them.” Gower was born in Field and later settled in Vernon, where she raised her four children. She did her nurse’s training in Victoria, worked for three years as a nurse in San Francisco while her architect husband, Terry Gower, was based there in the late 1950s, then practiced at Vernon Jubilee Hospital through the 1960s. Gower is survived by Andrea and Tony of Nelson, John of Courtenay and Terence of New York, N.Y., as well as her four grandchildren.

In the end, it came down to two wheels of cheese. On Oct. 18, five weeks to the day that they learned their cheese was suspected in an E. coli outbreak, the Wikkerink family received good news. Officials from both the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) came to Gort’s Gouda Cheese Farm in Salmon Arm to tell the owners that the prohibition had been lifted – the Wikkerinks could once again sell their cheese. The owners were told “basically that no E. coli was found on the premises and that it was only found in two wheels of red pepper and black pepper (cheese),” said Gary Wikkerink. Fifteen varieties of Gort’s cheese were recalled following the discovery of the link between E. coli O157:H7 illness and the cheese. In total, 26 cases of illness were reported, 12 in B.C., 10 in Alberta, two in Saskatchewan, and one each in Manitoba and Quebec. Of those, a Vernon woman, Corry Vander Linde, died, and all others are reported to have recovered. The individuals became ill between mid-July and late September. The lifting of the prohibition on sales comes with a restriction. Any cheese made after Sept. 14 must be tested before it leaves the premises. Despite the infamy the farm received after the cheese recalls, he thinks the notifications were necessary. “Although only two wheels were found to be contaminated, it’s better safe than sorry.” Both Gary and his spouse Kathy say a huge weight has now been lifted off their shoulders. “It was a very humbling experience, the whole thing,” remarked Kathy, explaining that it’s “because you feel how vulnerable you are. When you’re working in the food industry, working with real food, you’re very vulnerable.” She said the community has been highly supportive, both with encouraging words and with stores placing orders again. “It makes us more passionate about what we’re doing, and also the due diligence to make it effective.” Lynn Willcott, acting program director of food protection services with BCCDC, said no major problems were discovered at the farm. “We found some minor deficiencies throughout the process, no major deficiencies at all… We’re confident as they move forward their products will be safe to consume.” He noted that cheeses produced before the recall are also fine. “We’re very confident those cheeses are safe. There was extensive testing done with those.” Asked how he can be sure the cheese will be safe if the source of contamination wasn’t pinpointed, he said the testing prior to the cheese leaving the plant will ensure it. “The other thing, we’re going to be looking at standards and requirements for cheese plants to see if there’s anything in those standards or guidelines that needs to be improved or modified,” he said, noting this is a normal procedure following an investigation. “There may be a need for changes to these requirements.” The findings are expected to be posted on the CFIA website shortly.

Something to crow about

ere’s a mathematical equation from the hobby farming world I recently had to solve. Seven hens + 10 roosters = what? Answer: nine too many roosters (10 if you don’t like listening to crowing all day long). As our first foray into animal husbandry, we bought a flock of day-old chicks (18 in total, but one didn’t make it) in spring from a friend who raises a variety of heritage breed chickens out in Trinity Valley. The thing with day-old chicks is there really isn’t any way to tell the sex of each bird until they start developing tail feathers, combs and wattles, which can take months. And even then it can be tricky if, like me, you don’t know what to look for. Graeme Corbett It’s relatively simple to raise chicks in the early going. You feed them, you water them, you keep them warm and dry, and you clean up after them. That’s about it. It’s when they reach teenager-hood that the issues arise. In our case, and it varies depending on the breed, that happened at about four months. We knew things would kick off eventually as the chickens reached sexual maturity, but the situation really seemed to escalate within a few days. The roosters started battling one another and hassling the hens. Even the girls got into it, chest-bumping one another as they established the pecking order. It was like watching an episode of Big Brother. We ended up building a temporary shelter to separate the roosters (all except one lucky fella) from the hens. With what comes next, all I can say is, one of my goals going into hobby farming was to learn more about where my food comes from.

Well, that certainly happened in getting my roosters from coop to freezer. I won’t go into the gruesome details, but harvesting a live animal is an eye-opening experience. It’s not something I was particularly looking forward to, but now that I have raised, killed and processed a chicken, I do have a greater appreciation for the food that ends up on my dinner plate. Whenever I would buy a roasting bird from the grocery store, I never truly considered all the work that goes into getting that fully plucked, neatly presented package you see on the shelf. Commercial processing plants use high-tech production lines to make the processing as efficient as possible. I was armed with a sharp knife, a four-litre milk jug (which I used as a killing cone) and a bucket of hot water. It took forever, especially the plucking, and what’s worse is the finished product looked nowhere near as plump and juicy as the grocery store variety. Our chickens are dual-purpose breeds, meaning they offer decent egg production but are still supposed to grow large enough to use for their meat. Somebody forgot to tell that to our scrawny roosters. They looked plenty big with all their bright, fancy plumage, but once you get down to it, there wasn’t much meat on the carcass. We cooked up our first rooster in a crock pot in a stew with lentils. I woke up in the middle of the night with an agonizing stomach ache, and immediately panicked, thinking I somehow gave myself food poisoning. Or, could I be having sympathy pains for my recently dispatched flock? It turns out the lentils got added a little late and didn’t soak up enough liquid, which wreaked havoc on my belly. Next spring, I’m buying sexed pullets (young hens) to remove the rooster drama from the henhouse.

There was a strong sense of optimism as construction of Greater Vernon’s sports complex was officially launched Wednesday. The elected officials present hope the running track and sports fields next to Okanagan College will bolster the wellbeing of the community and attract new residents and investors. There is significant economic potential as the facility could attract events of all sizes, including the B.C. Summer Games. For those sports enthusiasts at the ceremony, they envision a revitalized environment for local athletes. And that will particularly be the case for our youth involved in football and track and field. Currently, inadequate infrastructure means track training must go out of town and hosting football games is challenging. Beyond the youth, the track will also provide numerous opportunities for Greater Vernon’s growing and aging population. Many people 50-plus are extremely active and looking for somewhere to stay in shape. It should be pointed out, though, that some people are still not happy. There was strong opposition to borrowing $7.5 million for the complex, with some residents questioning the location, the cost and the need. Hopefully, their views will begin to evolve as they see the facility take shape and the benefits unfold. One way to ease those concerns is for the politicians to ensure construction remains on time and on budget. The referendum dispute aside, though, construction has started and Greater Vernon will soon have a state-of-the-art sports complex. That can only be a good thing.

Pedestrians have role in safe roads

have noticed lately that there seems to be more and more accidents involving pedestrians in the media. I find that it is generally portrayed that some vicious, careless driver is responsible for the tragedy. The pedestrian, of course, is always an innocent victim. What bothers me is that there never seems to be any accountability on the pedestrian. Please don't get me wrong, anyone being injured is indeed a tragedy and by no means do I feel that they deserved such a terrible fate. I grew up on East Hill and enjoyed walking down what I always felt were the back roads towards Hillview Elementary. I was well aware that there was no sidewalk for pedestrians and would always move off the road and into the shoulder that is gravel and weeds when a vehicle approached. I have since moved from the area but travel the road frequently to visit the home I grew up in where my parents still reside. Every time I drive down that road there are pedestrians walking two, three or four out of Control Well, here we are doing a study on a new art gallery and museum. I believe this project is in the $17 million range. We just approved an outdoor track facility that I believe is going to have around a $7 million price tag. We just built a $13 million library, and we are and will be for some time, paying for the performing arts centre and the multiplex. These are all wonderful facilities for the small few who benefit, but the reality is, most Vernonites will not use them at all or very little at best. Our taxes, as so many other fees and bills that are generated by different levels of the bureaucratic nightmare we have allowed to be created, are out of control. Look at the latest payroll stats from B.C. Hydro. We have a $5.5 million payroll at the Regional District of North Okanagan. What the hell goes on there to justify those costs? We only see fees, taxes, etc. go

abreast with no regard for oncoming traffic. They walk, or run, with dogs, and double strollers on the road, chests puffed out in a confrontational manner staring at the driver, as if to say, "run me over, I dare you." The driver is forced to move into the other lane into oncoming traffic, or, come to a complete stop in the middle of the road while they pass. People have become

up. They never go down. There is never a rollback in wages, only factored in increases that we have little or no control over. You can't even get in the Hydro building anymore. What are they afraid of? Eventually, we will run out of money out here and when interest rates begin to rise (which they will), these projects that seem to go ahead no matter what the cost or benefit, will require funding we can't afford with revenue we should be spending on the essentials. I know it is near impossible to reverse any of this bureaucratic nightmare once we allow it in place, but if we don't start taking care of things now, we are all headed for a debt-ridden future we also won't be able to reverse. Bruce Davies in response This is in response to Bill Grahn's letter to the editor in The Morning Star Oct. 4. Bill says that the farmers should

so overly confident, that they feel they are untouchable because they know that the driver is always at fault. My frustration came to a breaking point recently when I was travelling down Mutrie Road with my two children in the car. Two women were jogging side by side down the road and made no effort to move as I approached them and a blind corner.

be heard. Well, I'm a farmer and I believe in growing my food without pesticides or GMO seeds. This is what I believe is the best for my environment, the bees, the soil and for the people who will eat the food. When wind-pollinated GMO crops are planted near organic crops, they contaminate our crop, and in this way, cause loss of income for us organic farmers. We grow organic because our customers want organic and nonGMO food. Should we not be able to guarantee this to them we will lose our business. So when Bill says, "Farmers should be heard," I hope he also considers us organic vegetable growers. I agree with Bill that most farmers are not big corporations, but families that try to make a living from farming. This is not always an easy life and it is certainly not made any easier when the soil you are trying to show to be free of toxins get polluted by pesticides used on other

I was left with choice to move over into the opposite lane with no visibility of traffic approaching, or stop. Of course running them over was not an option. I slowed considerably to allow the runners to move off the road and allow me to pass. One woman did, and the other ran out even closer to me, motioned for me to go around and threw her arms up in disgust as I passed on choosing not to drive myself and my children into the opposite lane. I can't understand why the confrontation is necessary and I experience it almost every single time I travel that route. It is simple, move to the side of the road when a vehicle approaches and resume running down the middle of it if you please once it passes. I'm quite certain, 'share the road,' doesn't mean run down it like you own it. Someone is going to get hurt and we will have yet another tragic story of a perhaps not so innocent pedestrian injured or killed. Chelsea Hagen

farms nearby or when their crops cross pollinate with yours. I would like to see clear labelling when GMO is in a product in order to give people a real option to choose what they want to ingest. Perhaps if more people chose organic, it would be more viable for bigger farms to grow organic as well without losing profit.

Village stays out of function richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Lumby doesn’t want any say over land use issues at Silver Star. The village has turned down an opportunity to join the Regional District of North Okanagan’s Silver Star planning function. “It’s not about the resort’s big projects,” said Mayor Kevin Acton of the function’s mandate. “This is about someone wanting a property setback or a garage.” Acton says it would have Kevin Acton cost the village between $1,800 and $2,500 to join the function and it wouldn’t help with major issues like possibly constructing a new road between Silver Star and Lumby. “For that kind of money, we can make decisions on our own properties and not someone else’s.” Currently, the only participants in the RDNO function are the electoral areas, Vernon and Spallumcheen.

Support for restorative justice The Village of Lumby will rally behind an alternative justice model even if it opposes a regional approach. Council has decided not to participate in a Regional District of North Okanagan function to fund the Restorative Justice Society. Instead, the village will provide a grant to the society directly or entering into a contract to receive the service from the City of Vernon, which oversees the program. “I support the aims of the Restorative Justice Society and its base of committed volunteers,” said Coun. Nick Hodge. “The program gives people at a critical juncture an opportunity to choose a different direction in their lives. It’s not for everyone, but when it is successful, it can reduce costs for the criminal justice system.” Through restorative justice, people who have committed an offence meet with the victim to talk about what happened and what can be done to correct the situation. If possible, it is a way for the offender to remain out of jail and turn their life around.

Going local is paying off for Enderby taxpayers. The city has moved its investments to Enderby and District Financial. “They yield us better interest than we were getting through the Municipal Finance Authority,” said Mayor Howie Cyr. “The credit union is a wonderful community partner and very supportive.” According to a staff report, using term deposits with Enderby and District Financial has led to an increase in investment income of about $4,000 a Jennifer Bellamy month. Council has also been informed of cost-savings initiated by administration.

“We have reduced auditing fees by $1,500 through the preparation of the 2012 financial statements done in-house,” said Jennifer Bellamy, chief financial officer, Annual property insurance premiums have also been reduced by $3,345 by switching to Capri Insurance. City won’t join Star function Enderby will remain sitting on the sidelines when it comes to development at Silver Star. All jurisdictions have been asked by the Regional District of North Okanagan if they wish to join the planning function for Silver Star Mountain. “There’s no appetite to be involved,” said Mayor Howie Cyr, adding that development issues at Silver Star have no direct impact on his community. “We are non-participants and we won’t be joining that.” Currently, the only participants in the function are the electoral areas, Vernon and Spallumcheen.

Township denies water utility request roger knox Morning Star Staff

A proposed Spallumcheen subdivision will have to look after its own water. Council turned down a request from proponents of a 30-lot Chickadee Ridge subdivision, located near McLeod subdivision, to have the township assume responsibility for a new water utility for the subdivision. “The request is inconsistent with the township’s current long-term water strategy,” wrote administrator Greg Betts in a report to council on the request. “It would consume organizational capacity and attract liability to the municipality.” The township, in 2009, approved a zoning bylaw amendment for the development of approximately 30 lots near the existing McLeod subdivision. Betts’ report said the zoning application indicated that the proponents would build, operate and maintain private water and sewer utilities to facilitate the development. The proponent is now proposing to construct a water system which would be turned over to the township to operate and maintain, rather than operated as a private utility. The township recently entered into a memorandum of understanding with the City of Armstrong in regards to a long-term water strategy. “The intent of the strategy...is to facilitate the phasing out of individual water districts, where

practical and feasible, and dissolve and convert them to become part of the City of Armstrong water utility,” wrote Betts, who added the province does not support creating new water districts but is open to the developer to proceed with the establishment of a private water utility under the Water Utility Act. Council voted unanimously with the staff recommendation to not assume responsibility for a proposed new water district, and to advise the proponent they can establish a private utility to facilitate the subdivision.

United Way has freshened up its online appearance to make it easier for residents to support the parent agency of numerous community groups and services. A newly updated website is now online at www. unitedwaynocs.com, just in time for the annual community fund campaign. “A group of marketing students from Okanagan College analyzed what we had and recommended a major update,” said June Kerr, Shell Canada retiree and United Way board president. “It was time for us to refresh our website to better reflect the United Way brand image and with the help of Tag Design here in Vernon, we have a fresh new, user-friendly website with much more relevant information and it is easy for staff to update.” The goal of this year’s fundraising campaign is $300,000.

Lake Country RCMP have a number of stolen items they would like to return to their owners.

Stolen items recovered Morning Star Staff

Lake Country RCMP officers are looking to return several property items they believe were stolen in a number of thefts from vehicles late last month. In late September, the Lake Country RCMP investigated a string of thefts from vehicles throughout their coverage area and recovered a few

items for which no owners could be identified. The items are believed to have been taken from vehicles and never reported stolen. The articles include coats, sunglasses, a GPS navigation device and a digital camera. If you believe one of the items belongs to you, please contact the Lake Country RCMP at 250766-2288.

While 2013 has been slow but steady for real estate activity, the community spirit of local realtors has been undeterred. Nominations are currently being taken for the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board’s Realtors Care awards in the North Okanagan. “OMREB members can nominate a deserving realtor or real estate office for this award. Nominations will also be accepted from the general public,” said Shelinda Morin, with OMREB’s North Zone executive committee. The deadline for nominations is Nov. 8. For forms and eligibility criteria, visit www.omreb.com. “Realtors are good public citizens,” said Janice Myers, OMREB excutive director. “They care about the communities they live and work in. I am always amazed at all the ways realtors give back, the leadership they take and the good example they set for others.”

IPE official goes provincial Morning Star Staff

A board member of Armstrong’s Interior Provincial Exhibition is joining a provincial body. Tom Harter, the IPE board’s executive director and grounds layout co-ordinator, was elected to a two-year term with the B.C. Association of Fairs and Exhibitions board of directors at the recent B.C. Fairs convention at Sun Peaks, near Kamloops. “It is an awesome accomplishment and I look forward to being part of the decision-making processes on a provincial level,” said Harter. “It is an exciting time as B.C. Fairs is in the process of defining and quantifying the huge impact fairs have on the communities throughout B.C.” Harter has served on the IPE board for the last five years and was elected to the executive last year. He has been volunteering for many years, along with the other 450-plus volunteers and the 30-plus non-profit groups that are an integral part of the IPE success. “It is great to see one of our own on the B.C. Fairs board,” said Bryan Burns, IPE general manager. The 115th IPE is slated for Aug. 27 to 31, 2014. For additional information, visit www.armstrongipe.com.

Creating boundaries and rules for children is challenging for many parents. Far too often, parents are worried about offending their children and become their child’s friend and not their parent. Parents who try to be friends with their children send a confusing message. When your child does something wrong, you will need to enforce the right behavior, but your child will not understand the role change. It undermines your role as parent. Establishing rules and consequences are difficult and exhausting! I know, I have three children. Rules provide guidelines for behaviour and

help children to learn the difference between what is socially acceptable and socially unacceptable behaviour. They learn self-control and self-discipline and begin to set limits for themselves. Further, clear and fair rules also help to create order in the home and boundaries help kids feel safe and supported. We do our children no favours if we fail to set and keep to a clear set of boundaries. Some basic guidelines for creating rules include (Practical Parenting UK, 2012): 1. Review your values and priorities. Adjust boundaries to take into account changing circumstances. 2. Boundaries should be pre-considered, well thought out and reasonable. 3. As children get older, boundaries increasingly need to be negotiated so that children can appreciate the logic and importance of them. 4. Really listen to your child, and make sure that you understand the issues involved from their perspective. 5. Make sure that both parents (and preferably other responsible adults) consistently enforce the same rules and consequences. 6. It is important that consequences are agreed at the same time as boundaries. 7. Discuss the setting of boundaries in a calm, non-confrontational atmosphere, when you both have sufficient time. 8. Once a boundary is set, and consequences are agreed, don’t back down. Children will test boundaries. Be ready! When you set solid limits and boundaries for your child, you are sending them a clear message that says that you care about them and want them to be safe and feel secure as they learn about the world. Doug Rogers is substance abuse prevention counsellor with the Vernon School District.

Dancs was chosen as his replacement. Blacklock, a White Rock product, is expected to be placed on the 30-day injured reserve. Williamson is challenging his remaining forwards to dial their play up a notch. “Guys like Spares (Colton Sparrow) and (Matty) Saharchuk will have to step up and be our go-to guys,” he said. With four key players out of the lineup, Williamson received a bit of good news as captain Ryan Renz is probable for weekend action. The rugged d-man from Castlegar missed the last 14 games with an ankle injury. Williamson plans to dress seven d-men this weekend to ease Renz, 20, back into the lineup. He is calling up 16-yearold Blaine Caton from the KIJHL North Okanagan Knights to boost the forward corps. Caton, a Vernon product, has a goal and five assists with the Knights this season. “He’s a good, young player, someone we want to have as part of our team next season, so he’s going to play,” said

Williamson. Meanwhile, the Vipers will be sporting splashes of pink as they entertain the Merritt Centennials for Pink the Rink Night Saturday (7 p.m.) at Kal Tire Place. Fans are also encouraged to wear pink. Luke Pierce’s Cents (9-7-1) earned three of four points last weekend at Nicola Valley Arena, tying the Salmon Arm SilverBacks 5-5 before shading the Trail Smoke Eaters 5-4 Sunday. Merritt also has three players headed to the Canada West camp – d-man Dane Birks and forwards Diego Cuglietta and Jeff Wight. SNAKE BITES: The Vees’ netminding tandem of Olivier Mantha (1.72) and Hunter Miska (1.78) is one-two in goalsagainst average. They are also second and third in save percentage, with the 20-year-old Mantha at .933, and Miska, 18, at .932...Former Viper Craig Martin, now with Alberni Valley, earned an eight-game suspension for checking Vernon’s Colton Dahlen of the Nanaimo Clippers from behind into the end boards as they raced for a puck in the third period of their game last Friday.

Each team will be missing a trio of stars who were named for the Team Canada West selection camp for the upcoming World Junior A Challenge in Yarmouth, N.S. Vernon, tied for second in the Interior Division at 9-5-1-2, will be without forwards Demico Hannoun and Dexter Dancs, as well as defenceman Jared Wilson Jared Wilson, while the first-place Vees (10-3-1-1) are sending blueliners Brett Beauvais, Alexandre Coulombe and Paul Stoykewych to the five-day camp, which begins Saturday in Calgary. “It could be a first-place showdown, depending on what happens in other games,” said Vipers’ head coach Jason Williamson. “It’s a big weekend for us.” Mason Blacklock, the Vipers’ leading scorer (his 15 goals

Fulton ties Golds Morning Star Staff

The Salmon Arm Golds scored on a short pass with 26 seconds remaining to tie the Fulton Maroons 14-14 in exhibition high school football action Tuesday at Grahame Park. Davron Polok scampered 60 yards for a touchdown on Fulton’s opening drive and later added a 48-yard running score. Polok racked up 176 yards on 15 touches. Caleb McCuaig booted both converts. Quarterback Tye Kitzman completed four of nine passes for 29 yards with one interception. He also ran nine times for 61 yards. Max Chapman caught a 17-yard pass. Carson Deboer led the Fulton defence with 13 tackles, while Trevor Feeney supplied eight and Sikandar Ahmad and Polok eac registered six. Deboer, Kitzman, Mike Williamson and McCuaig each produced picks. “It was an even game throughout and went back and forth,” said Maroons’ head coach Mike Scheller. “We had some great drives offensively. When we execute properly, we do quite well. However, we do not execute consistently enough to be an effective offence. “We either miss an assignment or commit a penalty. Davron Polok had a great game at tailback and ran very hard. He made some nice runs for us. I was happy with the way guards Ahmad and Deboer played.” The Golds scored on a razzle-dazzle trick play but the Fulton defence otherwise turned in a stellar showing. “Deboer was great at defensive end and made a ton of plays for us. Cornerback Luc Mitchell defended the pass well. Feeney was good at inside backer and Romello Coufal had his highest tackle output of the season (4).” The Maroons are 2-2-2 overall and 1-1 in league play. They visit the Westsyde Blue Wave tonight (7:30) at Hillside Stadium in Kamloops. The VSS Panthers battle the Valleyview Vikings in the early 5 p.m. game at Hillside.

The Fulton Maroons fell to a familiar foe as they struck silver at the Thompson Rivers University junior boys volleyball tournament last weekend in Kamloops. The Maroons fell 23-25, 23-25 to the defending B.C. champion MEI Eagles of Abbotsford in Saturday’s goldmedal game, the second time they have met in a final. “We are getting so close to a win against them,” said head coach Richard Bedard. “We are glad to know we are up there as one of the top teams in the province. This is our third final in as many tournaments, so we’re really proud of the boys.” In pool play, Fulton stopped the Dr. Knox Falcons of Kelowna, 25-10, 25-17, Pen-Hi Lakers of Penticton, 25-17, 25-15 and the D.P. Todd Trojans of Prince George, 25-13, 25-22. In the final 16, the Maroons swept the Duchess Park Condors of Prince George, 25-12, 25-18, and then bounced Elgin Park Orcas of Surrey, 25-12, 20-25, 15-9, in the quarters. They swamped the Pacific Academy Breakers of Surrey in the semis, 25-19, 25-23. Fulton got strong, consistent play from tournament all-star Danny Aspenlieder with support in offensive power from Ryan Doerges, Noah Alleyne, and Kurtis Banks. Landon Currie and Bryn Bedard continued to dominate in digs and setting. Middle Kobe Romanovitch was solid in his blocking game against MEI. The

Maroons will play in the MEI tournament this weekend in Abbotsford. Fulton is hosting the North Zone junior boys championships Thursday, Nov. 7, starting at 4 p.m. In senior boys tournament action, the shorthanded Vernon Panthers went 2-4 at the KSS Best of the West last weekend in Kelowna. With just six players, including two junior callups, the Panthers pushed the George Elliot Coyotes of Lake Country to three sets, falling 25-8, 23-35, 8-15 in their opening match. Vernon got big hits from Shelby Hartwig, Brayden Damini and Landon Matties. VSS rebounded by bouncing the Selkirk Storm, 25-17 and 25-19, with incredible setting from Nolan Wiens and strong plays from Jason Reich and huge blocks from Hartwig and call-up Eric Embleton. Vernon dominated their third game against the Enver Creek Cougars of Surrey, taking two quick sets, 25-11 and 25-12, with more big hits from Damini and Matties. The Pathers’ run ended against the Earl Marriott Mariners of Surrey as they fell 23-25, 9-25. Embleton supported the Cats with fantastic serves, while Hartwig, Damini and Matties had great blocks and hits. Vernon finished with two losses Saturday, starting with a 19-25, 22-25 decision to Spruce Grove. They finished with a 21-25, 22-25 loss to the David Thompson Trojans of Vancouver.

The Vernon Judo Club enjoyed a superb start to the competitive season Saturday in Abbotsford. Brendan Yakura, 13, competing in the 50-kilogram Juvenile Men’s class (Under 16), struck gold to lead the seven-member contingent at the Ag-Rec Building in Exhibition Park. Sydney Grevatt, in 44kg, and Axana Timmerman, in 63kg, both took silver medfals in U14 girls. Dallin Houston LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR

Marauders fill the net Morning Star Staff

Zero wins in the pre-season didn’t matter to the DCT Chambers Trucking Marauders. After going 0-4 in exhibition play, the Marauders blitzed Salmon Arm North Broadview Plumbing & Heating 7-1 in the North Okanagan Bantam House Hockey Super League regularseason opener Saturday at Priest Valley Arena. Finn O’Keefe and Sam Frisby led the truckers with 2+1 each, singles going to Tavyn Best, Josh Bridge and Zach Agar. Landon Currie had two assists in support of starter Noah Foufoulas and reliever Sam Knox. “We had a great team effort with strong passing, good team defence and solid goaltending,” said Marauders’ head coach George Agar. “It was nice to see that we were able to spread out the scoring with all three lines.” The Five Star Awards Cougars opened with a 6-0 win over Salmon Arm on Saturday. Maguire Dickenson (2), Kaylan Lawrence (2), Darius Stone and Reece Schroeder handled the Cougars’ offence in front of Reece Hawthorne and Isaac Waldemaras (1A). Kimberly Whitelaw and Nicholas Mann each earned two helpers. Sean Howard supplied four goals as the Corbett Office Plus Sharks smothered the North Okanagan Knights 11-1 Sunday at Civic Arena. Nick Mitchell added 2+2, including a laser from the point which stuck in the top-shelf webbing. Alex Laurila, with 1+2, Callum Leong, Kevin Sullivan, Teigan Derkach and Brandon Lehoux completed the attack. Keaton McCune replied for the Knights.

In Midget Super League action, Nedco stopped the Lumby Stars 5-3 and outlasted Salmon Arm 8-5. Cole Bradley received a beautiful pass from Adam Sacht and fired a sizzler from the blue line for the 1-1 equalizer. Brett Jewell, with a deuce, Nik Wasylyk and Brandon Magnus clicked for Nedco in the third period. Sacht had two assists and Dusty Beckner shovelled several shots on net aside. Wyatt Warnes (2) and Kyle Weston replied for the Stars. Logan Meier had two helpers. Aaron Keryluke fired four goals as Nedco iced Salmon Arm in a penalty-riddled affair Sunday night at Civic. Jewell (2), Jeremy Pogue and Carl Main counted singles, while goalie Trey Spanier flashed some glove work much like Red Sox shortstop Stephen Drew in the World Series. Lumby rebounded Sunday with an 8-1 win over the host Winfield Bruins to help coach Kevin Porteous celebrate his 50th birthday. Warnes provided 4+2, while Jayden Pedersen, Connor Fair, Zach Kuperus and Weston all had singles in support of Jake Holland. Logan Meier and Kyle Beerstra each had assists, while first-time player Spencer O’Neill earned his first point. Said Porteous, who received two minutes for looking so good: “I am looking forward to the rest of the season and can hardly wait to see what our full roster can do if we manage to have everyone able to make the same game.” Chris Gallant and Austin Bosquet began their quest for 50-goal seasons by snagging two snipes apiece as the Vernon Seed

Orchard Sharks sank Salmon Arm Lakeside Printing 5-3 Sunday at PV. Ryan Buick added a single, while d-man Jeff Hiscoe and Kolten Kirschner each racked up two helpers. The Stevenson Mechanical Thunderbirds posted a pair of Pee Wee wins, grounding Salmon Arm Salmar Classic 6-4 Sunday at the Shaw Centre after outlasting Bannister GM Heat 7-6. Landen Harison and linemate Jaden Foster had two goals each versus Salmar. Jacob Wettlaufer and Brady Beacom had singles. Beacom, after a slick pass by Harison, buried the winner with 11 seconds remaining after Bannister made it 6-6 with three minutes to play at Kal Tire Place. Brayden Beese, in his first year of minor hockey, Ryan Vandesande, Zachry Manthorne and Elias Wery also scored for the T-Birds. Chapperon Chillihitzia (2), Trevor Moore, Kaden Doughty, Jacob Baycroft and Benjiman Reinhart responded for the Heat. Lumby rolled a deuce in Pee Wee play, zapping Salmon Arm 8-0 and downing the Butcher Boys Raptors 11-5. Tage Kineshanko, Josh Litven and Drew Mackenzie, each with two goals, Tanner Franje-Gilbert and Rory Campbell, handled things with Michael Preston earning the shutout. D-man Liam MacLeod cleared a puck off the goal line. Kineshanko exploded with 4+1 and Litven recorded the hat trick as the Stars rattled the Raptors. Mackenzie, FranjeGilbert, Matthew Yaremcio and Jordan Romailler added singles with Vanessa Yaremcio supplying one helper and stellar defence.

pocketed silver in the Cadet Under 18 Men’s 46kg division, while Mayumi Comley took bronze in the Cadet Women’s 52kg category. Kauner Jones and Hayley Timmerman also fought in the Cadet category.

Pospisil soars in Switzerland Morning Star Staff

Canada’s Vasek Pospisil reached his third ATP World Tour quarterfinal as he defeated Tomas Berdych’s conqueror, Ivo Karlovic, 6-3, 6-3 in under an hour Thursday at the Swiss Indoors Basel. Pospisil, who moved from Vernon to Vancouver at age 12, last made a quarterfinal in August when he went on a breakthrough run to his Vasek Pospisil first ATP World Tour Masters 1000 semifinal at the Coupe Rogers in Montreal (lost to Milos Raonic). Wrote Pospisil on Facebook: “Played great

today! Few more days to stockpile as much Swiss chocolate as possible.” The 23-year-old next faces Ivan Dodig of Croatia. Pospisil reached the second round Wednesday as he exacted revenge on Robin Haase 6-4, 6-4 after losing to the Dutchman last week in Vienna. Pospisil is ranked No. 40 in the world and admitted that he cut back on his training sessions over the last few days to conserve energy as the long ATP season finishes next week at the Paris Masters. Pospisil, who is hoping to lift his ranking by at least eight spots in hopes of getting a seeding at the Australian Open in January, broke Haase in the final game of the first set and again in the last game of the match, advancing on his first match point.

Vernon duo earns all-star status Morning Star Staff

A pair of Vernon youth soccer products have made the Pacific Western Athletic Association (Pac West) all-star teams. The UBC Okanagan Heat women’s soccer team was one of three schools with more than three players represented, with four. The men’s squad placed two players. Junior midfeilder Michelle Smith of Vernon earned a first all-star team spot, while Vernon’s Austin Jones rung up a second-team selection. Smith earned her first all-star by making many spectacular plays on headers, using her great vertical to win balls and set up the Heat offence. Four of her six goals on the season came off of a header, which is amazing for a five-foot-four midfielder. “Michelle has slick feet and uses her superior ball control and has a wily ability to always make plays happen,” said Heat coach Claire Paterson.

Jones, a striker, earned his second straight allstar display after a solid all-around season that saw him score goals in five straight games, in one stretch. His technical ability with the ball, and strong finishing ability, struck fear into opposing defences. “Austin is not strictly a goal scorer. His quick, precise passing ability has set up numerous goals over his career at UBC Okanagan, and he continues to prove his worth to the Heat,” said coach Dante Zanatta. For the fifth straight year, graduating fullback Jennifer Kidd (Richmond) of the Heat was named a provincial all-star. Midfielder Donald Straith (3rd year, Victoria) was the men’s team’s other all-star. The five Heat women all-stars will be honoured at the provincial championships in Nanaimo before their first semifinal match, Saturday, noon, against the Quest University Kermodes of Squamish.

May date proposed for NDP leadership vote tom fletcher Black Press

The provincial executive of the NDP has proposed May 25, 2014 for a leadership vote to select a replacement for Adrian Dix. The party executive picked the date, almost exactly three years before the next scheduled B.C. election, to avoid municipal elections set for next fall and a federal election expected in 2015. That is to make it more practical for civic politicians and MPs to consider whether they want to jump to provincial politics. Dix announced in September he would stay on as leader until a successor is chosen, and at the time he said that would take place before the middle of next year. The May vote was picked after discussions with the party’s current MLAs and local constituency presidents, but it still must be approved by the NDP provincial council. No candidate has formally announced, but several are considering a run. They include veteran Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth, who finished second to Dix in 2011, and caucus newcomers Judy Darcy, George Heyman and David Eby, all of whom represent Vancouver constituencies. Vancouver Island MLA Rob Fleming and Skeena-Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen have also said they are weighing their chances. Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan, who finished third behind Dix in the 2011 vote, announced last week he will not make another

Adrian Dix

run for the top job. Horgan said he

wants to see a new generation of leadership get

the attention of members after the party’s

upset loss in the May 2013 election.

Campaign targets fall road safety in B.C. Morning Star Staff

Every year in October, an average of 28 people are injured

or killed in crashes in the Southern Interior due to driving too fast for the conditions. That

number more than triples to 97 in December as driving conditions worsen.

That’s why ICBC and the police have launched a campaign urging drivers to pre-

weather conditions we experience at this time of year,” said Todd Stone, transportation minister. “Give yourself extra travel time so you aren’t rushing and always check drivebc.ca before heading out so you can prepare for the road conditions you’ll encounter.” Seven out of 10 speed-related crashes in B.C. are caused by driving too fast for the road conditions, such as in rainy, icy or snowy weather. Throughout November, police and Speed Watch volunteers across B.C. are asking drivers to slow down and adjust their speed for the conditions. “In the Southern Interior, drivers often encounter snow, ice and darker conditions at this time of year,” said Jamie Graham, with the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police. Here are ICBC’s tips to help you stay safe this fall and winter: When ice or snow hits: Ice and snow can hit unexpectedly. Early in the season, make sure your tires are rated for the conditions you may be driving in and check your tire pressure regularly – pressure drops in cold weather and overinflated tires can reduce gripping. Consider alternatives: When heavy winter conditions arrive, consider alternatives to help you get to work safely – take transit, work from home or adjust your hours to avoid rush hour traffic. If heavy rain hits: Heavy rain can seriously reduce visibility and make road surfaces more difficult to stop on. Make sure your wipers are in good condition and increase your following distance to at least four seconds so that you have time to stop if you need to. Planning a trip: If you’re travelling to an area you’re not familiar with, check the road conditions for your entire route so you can prepare your vehicle for the weather you may encounter.

The diary of Norman Lee

ortunately for us, Norman Lee kept a diary on his epic cattle drive north to the Klondike, which chronicles the dayto-day routines and hardships on the trail. Lee left his Chilcotin ranch on May 17 with five cowboys, mostly Chilcotin natives, a “boss packer” with nine packhorses, and a cook. The herd was usually split up, with each cowboy driving a band of about 30 or 40 head. This made it easier to

keep track of the cattle in the thick bush and allowed the herd to split up and graze on whatever they could find. While the cattle were fresh, they made about 10 to 12 miles a day, but fallen Ken Mather timber along the way made the going tough. After three-anda-half months on the trail, Lee reached Telegraph Creek. When he saw that Jim Cornell and

“French” Henri had set up a butcher shop there, he realized that his only hope was to press on to Teslin, where the cattle could be slaughtered and the dressed beef rafted over lake and river to Dawson. From Telegraph Creek, the trail wound its way through heavy timber and mud flats, with only an occasional swamp with grass to feed the cattle. On top of that, the trail was a sea of mud, a result of the hundreds of animals that had passed on ahead of them, combined with a

wet summer. The muddy trail and the frequent river crossings began to take their toll on the hooves of the cattle and horses, particularly the horses. Eventually all of the horses were gone and the men slogged on, weary and footsore. Finally, on Oct. 3, Lee and his weary cowboys arrived at Teslin. They started slaughtering and butchering cattle and building two scows, each measuring 16-by-40 feet. Although the beef was not good, it would still sell for $1 a pound in Dawson.

The scows set off on Oct. 17, with a good breeze blowing them along. After two days of good sailing, the wind began to pick up and the lake became extremely rough. The gale continued to blow for two more days and the continuous beating of the scows on the rocks wrecked one and then the other, leaving the beef lying in the shallow water. There was nothing that could be done. It was too late to construct other scows and there was no one around who was interested in buying the beef. Lee had little choice but to accept defeat and abandon the beef. The men divided up the food supplies and most of them decided to salvage enough lumber from the scows to construct boats and proceed on to Dawson. Only one man, Will Copeland, decided to return south with Norman Lee. Lee and Copeland constructed a sleigh for their belongings and headed west to the coast, eventually arriving in Wrangel, Alaska, where they caught a ship south. Norman Lee arrived in Vancouver “with a roll of blankets, a dog and one dollar— the latter I took the first opportunity of exchanging for some refreshments, and made a fresh start with a clean sheet.” After borrowing enough money to take the train to Ashcroft and then borrowing a horse to ride home, Norman Lee started ranching again. By 1902, he was well on the way to prosperity again and his descendants continue to ranch in the Chilcotin to this day. Ken Mather is curator emeritus at O’Keefe Ranch and a Spallumcheen-based author.

B.C. oil spill study misinterpreted

he release of the B.C. government’s detailed study into oil spill response capability off the West Coast created the usual brief wave of media shock and horror. This just in! If crude oil spilled in the Dixon Entrance, the storm-tossed sea lane north of Haida Gwaii, the combined resources of Canadian and U.S. containment and collection response could only recover an estimated four per cent of it. And that’s in the summer! The winter recovery rate would be more like three per cent. Talk radio and website headlines set the narrative in minutes. How could anyone even consider running oil tankers through that pristine B.C. coastal area? It’s crazy! Here’s the big fact clearly stated in the study by U.S.-based Nuka Research and Planning Group, and ignored by most of the media and public. There are hundreds of tankers filled with crude oil sailing through these stormy seas every year. It’s been going on since Alaska North Slope crude was developed in the 1970s. Six of the seven oil spill simulations run by Nuka are based on Alaska crude, because that’s overwhelmingly what has been shipped along B.C.’s North Coast for 40 years. This lack of crude oil spill response capa-

bility has existed the entire time, without a whisper of protest or media attention, even after the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster near the oil’s point of origin. The current narrative, hammered home by U.S.controlled environmental groups Tom Fletcher and their aboriginal partners in the “Great Bear Rainforest,” is that only Canadian oil is a threat. How much Alaska crude is shipped down the B.C. coast?

B.C. Views

According to Nuka’s analysis, it’s currently about 38 million cubic metres each year. That’s enough to fill B.C. Place stadium to the roof – 15 times. The SierraGreenpeaceForestEthics-Dogwood gang, a sort of billionaire-bankrolled green Team America, has worked hard to promote the falsehood that “tar sands” oil is vastly worse than that nice fair-trade Alaska stuff. Their claims about acidity and abrasiveness of diluted bitumen didn’t hold up, and it’s still hotly contested whether the heavy oil in diluted bitumen

would float, emulsify or sink in actual sea conditions. When the federal government announced a study to determine what spilled bitumen would do in North Coast waters, that too was attacked by the Green Party as a secret scheme to prop up Enbridge’s pipeline proposal. So it’s a scandal when you don’t know the answers, and it’s a scandal when you try to find them. Another question that gets little attention is whether it’s better for spilled oil to sink rather than wash up on beaches.

Crude oil is, if you’ll pardon the expression, organic. Spills produce a huge spike in oil-eating bacteria that leads to an increase in fish populations at a certain stage. This was documented in a 1994 book called Degrees of Disaster, written by an expert who stayed on in Valdez for four years, long after the television cameras and grandstanding politicians went home.

Victoria-based Dogwood seized on a 2012 Nuka study done for the Haisla Nation at Kitimat, which found that in ocean conditions that are present more than half of the time, there would be no immediate way to respond to a spill at sea. Dogwood’s “no tankers campaign director” hinted that this information was intentionally left out of the B.C. government study, and the media

Now is the

time to switch! Internet voting bypassed TOM FLETCHER Black Press

B.C. isn’t ready to consider a wholesale shift to Internet-base voting in either local or provincial elections, according to a new report from Elections B.C. Chief electoral officer Keith Archer released the report Wednesday, warning that even if a host of technical and security issues can be resolved, there is no consistent evidence that voter turnout would be increased. Archer asked the B.C. government in 2011 for authority to conduct pilot projects for electronic voting. The government appointed him to chair an expert panel last year, and its preliminary findings are not encouraging. While there are likely benefits for voters with disabilities or in remote locations, the report concludes that governments should not expect either lower costs or greater participation from voter access via computers and mobile devices. Despite the widespread use of new technology by young people, a survey of other results showed middle-aged and older people more likely to use online voting.

The committee recommends that online voting be considered first as an option for people with access restrictions, such as those who vote by mail. It says universal voting should only be be attempted on a province-wide basis for consistency, security and ability to audit results. No provincial or federal voting has been conducted online in Canada, but municipalities including Halifax and Markham, Ont. have tried it, as well as some U.S. and European jurisdictions. Archer said online voting has unique challenges, such as the need to verify a person’s identity and then keep that separate from their voting choice. Another issue is how to verify security of a range of computers, tablets and mobile phones that could be subject to software tampering. “It’s not like banking online, it’s not like dating online, it’s not like making a purchase online,” he said. The panel has posted its preliminary report at www.internetvotingpanel.ca and is seeking public comments until Dec. 4. It plans to make recommendations to the government on the next steps in February.

B.C. honey producers meet Morning Star Staff

There’s a lot of buzz in the Okanagan. The B.C. Honey Producers Association will hold its annual general meeting, conference and trade show at the Best Western Hotel in Kelowna from today until Sunday. “The conference will feature 15 guest speakers drawn from across Canada and the U.S. tackling the challenges and addressing innovations,” said Keith Rae, a Vernon resident and an event organizer. “The trade show will be filled with industry representatives supplying products and services for all of those involved.” The conference itself is limited to BCHPA members but the trade show is open to the public Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Residents can also attend the hour-long introduction to beekeeping workshops Sunday at 1 p.m. or 2 p.m. “Come learn more about the basics of beekeeping and how you can have a hive of your own,” said Rae. The cost of the workshop is $15 payable at the door. To sign up for the workshop, go to www.HiveandThrive. com One of the issues

that will be discussed at the conference is the death rate among honey bees. “These unsung pollinators are the unpaid labourers of our agricultural system. Beekeepers, who are part farmers and part scientists, have been struggling to understand what is causing mass colonies of bees to die or disappear,” said Rae. Beekeepers wage a war with bacterial and viral diseases, ever

adapting parasites and environmental factors that are attacking local bee populations. “Winter losses of five to 15 per cent are predictable but recently, high rates of loss over 50 per cent have been reported that are unexplained by the weather,” said Rae. “Combine these factors with the increased use of pesticides, herbicides and industrial pollutants; the bee population faces an uphill challenge for survival.”

But Rae says the Okanagan has a thriving community of beekeepers who are dedicated to improving the odds for bees. “These beekeepers range from large commercial operations with thousands of hives, to part-time sideliners with up to 100 hives, down to backyard hobbyists with one or two hives.” Beekeepers also produce a wide variety of products from their hives.

Fjellgaard and Valdy are happy to fall back The cowboy and the folkie return to the Okanagan with their 13th annual tour Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

Cowboy crooner Gary Fjellgaard will never forget the night he shared the stage with a salad. On his annual tour of the Okanagan with folk legend Valdy, the night in question happened when The Contenders, as they are known due to the two albums they have recorded under that moniker, were getting ready to play their annual Halloween show at Lorenzo’s Café. The Ashton Creek venue was decked out for the occasion, and Fjellgaard was dressed in his usual costume. “I was dressed as a cowboy like normal,” he deadpans. “Valdy didn’t have anything to wear, so he went off to a local shop and came back with one of those tin foil roasting pans and added some lettuce and celery to it. He then put it on his head.” After finding out that his friend was going to be wearing his original creation during the show that night, Fjellgaard had to speak up. “I told Valdy, ‘How can I sing a serious love song when you have a salad on your head?’” Fjellgaard can’t wait to see what

his fellow troubadour comes up with this Halloween when the boys return to Lorenzo’s Thursday. They are also playing other venues in the area, including in Armstrong and Vernon, and Fjellgaard is looking forward to reuniting with his longtime friend and colleague. This year marks their 13th annual tour of the OkanaganInterior, which is organized by local presenter Ken Smedley. “We have a beautiful time together. It never gets old,” said Fjellgaard, who just turned 76 and is wrapping up touring through the Prairies. On the road with him is his wife of 57 years, Lynne, and their dogs as they drive their motorhome west to B.C. to meet up with Valdy. “It’s a way of life. I’ve been touring over 40 years and Valdy has been doing over that,” said Fjellgaard. “There’s a century on the road between us... It’s nothing new. That’s what’s good about it. It’s the tradition of the troubadour. We’re travelling minstrels and the proof is in the pudding that we can sustain a living on what we do.” What works between the two musicians, who met in the ‘70s and between them have numerous, awards, albums and accolades, is they choose not to follow trends or adhere to what’s being played on the radio, said Fjellgaard. “We still bring music to a quiet audience,” he said. “We both have lots of good songs in obscure albums. And there’s the ones that have done well. It’s all worth the effort. We don’t let our egos get stuck because of one thing.”

Familiar faces to the Valley, Valdy (left) and Gary Fjellgaard bring their annual fall tour through the Okanagan next week. Shows in the north include Armstrong Wednesday, Ashton Creek Thursday, and Vernon Friday, Nov. 1. Besides playing newer material, the duo is always happy to dredge up some of those older songs, however, Fjellgaard admits he sometimes has to reach into his memory banks to remember some of them, and that includes where he’s been. “I was in Redvers (a town in southeastern Saskatchewan) the other night and was doing a sound check in this old movie theatre. It looked vaguely familiar. I told the audience that night, ‘I think I’ve been here before.’ Turns out I’d played there at least three or four

times before,” he laughed. Then there are the things you never forget such as when Fjellgaard played his song I Apologize at the Pacific Coliseum for thousands of First Nations people during the B.C. Truth and Reconciliation Week in September. “There was so much power in the room. It was absolutely awesome,” he said. “It was so humbling to be invited to play. Moments like that are the ones you treasure.” Fjellgaard feels the same way about those “salad days” with his

fellow Contender Valdy. Fjellgaard and Valdy are in Armstrong Wednesday, Oct. 30 with a show at the Zion United Church Hall at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are at Chocoliro. Call 250-546-2886. They are at Lorenzo’s Café Thursday, Oct. 31 with dinner at 6 p.m. and the show to follow. Call 250-838-6700 to reserve a seat. The Vernon performance is Friday, Nov. 1 at the Okanagan College campus theatre at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are at The BookNook. Call 250-558-0668.

Nov. 4 at 7:45 p.m., U.S. documentary Twenty Feet from Stardom shines a spotlight on

the backup singers behind some of the greatest musical legends of the late 20th century. Helping to set the record straight, director Morgan Neville juxtaposes interviews with industry legends such as Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger, Sting and Bette Midler with the relative unknowns who support them. Tuesday, Nov. 5 at 5:15 p.m. is writer/director Noah Baumbach’s critically acclaimed film Frances Ha. The charming, indie comedy, shot in black and white and starring Greta Gerwig in the lead role, is a love story between two best friends, whose platonic relationship Frances describes as: “We’re the same person with dif-

ferent hair’.” Nov. 5 at 7:45 p.m. comes the Canadian film, Our Man in Tehran, which tells the true story of Canada’s pivotal role in the rescue of U.S. diplomats during the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, as dramatized in last year’s Oscar winner for Best Picture, Argo. Oscar winning actress Cate Blanchett gives another winning performance in Woody Allen’s latest, Blue Jasmine, Wednesday, Nov. 6 at 5:15 p.m. The film follows a high-society New York housewife who is forced to deal with the economic and emotional consequences of her husband’s crooked financial dealings.

Nov. 6 at 7:45 p.m. is the coming-of-age comedy The Kings of Summer about three teenage friends who, in the ultimate act of independence, decide to spend their summer building a house in the woods and live off the land. One of the most critically acclaimed films of the year, Fruitvale Station will be screened Nov. 7 at 5:15 p.m. The extraordinary feature debut by director Ryan Coogler, starring Michael B. Jordan (The Wire), focuses on the senseless New Year’s Day 2009 police shooting of Oscar Grant, a young black man whose murder sent shock-waves through the U.S.

Armstrong 100 ends with a blessing City of Armstrong and the Legion salute the war effort with performance of Bless ‘Em All Morning Star Staff

The final show saluting Armstrong’s centennial birthday will truly be a blessing. Entertainer Christine Pilgrim, pianist Jim Leonard and ukulele player El Gusto have teamed up with the City of Armstrong and its Royal Canadian Legion to present an interactive family show entitled Bless ‘Em All on Sunday, Nov. 3. “It will pay tribute to those citizens whose contributions, sacrifices and service during wartime shaped Armstrong during the 100 years since its incorporation,” said Mayor Chris Pieper. Such contributions include those of local women, from Mrs. Shepherd who started the Red Cross, Mrs. Danallanko (née Becker), an air raid spotter during the Second World War, and Cassie Hunter, a military nurse in the First

World War. Focus will also fall on local service men from Majors Le Duc and Wolfenden to pilot officer Keith Pellett and regular soldiers like the Schuberts and Harry Brown. In fact, many well-remembered local names will be featured. Countless reminders of their impact can be seen around Armstrong. “Streets are named after those who served, from the Maundrells to the Hunters to the Van Kleecks,” said Pieper. “The tulips that bloom in Memorial Park are a token of thanks from liberated Holland. And, of course, the cenotaph bears the names of those who did not return.” The two performances of Bless ‘Em All – one starting at 2 p.m. and the other at 4 p.m., both at Centennial Hall – will not only honour those who left their mark on Armstrong, it will be jam-packed with

The 2013 version of the Soldiers Home Comfort Club (also known in this instance as Royal Canadian Legion Branch #35) will serve light refreshments between the two shows from 3 p.m. in the adjacent drill hall where memorabilia will also be on display. Those leaving the first show can be served early, while those who would like to come early to the second show should arrive around 3:30 p.m. Advance tickets for both shows, including refreshments, will be on sale for a toonie at the Armstrong Spallumcheen Museum, the Legion and Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce.

Gallery Vertigo gets ready for its annual Almost Famous auction

IN-STORE SPECIALS FOR YOUR DIY PROJECTS ~ Mat Board ~ Foamcore ~ Glass

Morning Star Staff

Artists have dropped off their “fabulous fakes,” featuring their versions of famous works of art, for Gallery’s Vertigo’s Almost Famous. The annual auction takes place Saturday, Nov. 2 at the Vernon Community Arts Centre (VCAC), however, the works are now on exhibition at Gallery Vertigo for viewers to get a sneak peek before they go to bid. The event is the artist-run gallery’s main fundraiser of the year. “We like to call Vertigo the little gallery that could,” said Vertigo director Michelle Mitchell. “Everyone involved in the gallery, from artist to administrator to writer to community activist, have shared roles within the gallery and the community to bring innovative art to Vernon, from both accomplished and new artists.” Gallery Vertigo artists have reached into their community connections to bring the Almost Famous exhibition to life. That includes the VCAC (run by the Arts Council of the North Okanagan), which is providing the space for this year’s auction. “Lynne Gayan and the VCAC have been generous in providing us the space for this show,” said Mitchell. “The North Okanagan

In addition, local musician,

Brandon Schmor, a multiple-finalist for Our Kids Have Talent and who opened at the B.C. Winter Games in Vernon in 2012, will provide pre-auction entertainment from 7 to 8 p.m. “Brandon is incredible,” said Mitchell. “He is always an enthusiastic and energetic supporter of the arts.” People are also encouraged to dress up for the event. “You can also come in whatever’s comfortable, but it’s always more fun to bring that extra level of participation,” said Mitchell. Almost Famous starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at the Bean Scene and Vertigo. Call 250-5032297 or visit www.galleryvertigo. net for more information.

Escape Plan

ay Breslin, (Sylvester Stallone) makes a living testing the security of state penitentiaries. Breslin does this by entering the prison under the guise of a prisoner and then finding a way to escape. When he does, he files a report with the prison system and cashes his cheque. When the CIA shows up at Breslin’s offices, they offer him five million dollars to attempt to break out of a futuristic superprison that is meant to house the terrorists and criminals that the government wants to keep off the books. Unfortunately for Breslin’s team (50 Cent and Amy Ryan), no one will be allowed to know the location of the prison. So for this job, Breslin is on his own. By way of a basic black bag abduction,

Breslin is imprisoned in a maze of glass cubes, surrounded by the worst of the worst. There is one friendly face amongst all the bad guys, a mysterious and respected figure in the prison, Emil Rottmayer (Arnold Schwarzenegger), who seems very interested in befriending Breslin and finding a way out. However, nothing in this story is what it seems to be, including why Breslin is there in the first place. We say, “It’s like a blast from the past.” TAYLOR: I feel no shame in announcing that I was dreading this movie. Sly (67) and Arnie (66) have been shelling out the same stuff since I was kid.

Arnie and Sly need to hatch an escape plan to get out of prison. We bet it involves punching. However, the differences between the movies that were made then compared to now, although many and varied, can be boiled down to the difference in me: I grew up. However, as both a film critic and testosterone vessel, I’ve got to admit, Escape Plan wasn’t that bad, for what it is. HOWE: There is so much cheddar in

Escape Plan you will end up with the cheese sweats. For the first 20 or so minutes I thought that Stallone had made a pretty normal movie, nothing too ridiculous, well ridiculous for a Sly movie anyway, then enters Mr. Schwarzenegger and the chuckles start. Saying that, I will agree with you, it wasn’t bad. TAYLOR: Stallone manages to be understood for the 47 words he says. He spends most of the movie looking around for the plan he needs to develop. Arnie tries to appear likable and does a fair job of it, but what really surprised me was one scene where I actually believed he could act. His character finds himself wigging out in

Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre

an isolation chamber and he starts speaking in German (or is it Austrian?) I suggest someone put Arnie in an emotionally charged movie with a flawed German character for him to portray and wait for the accolades. HOWE: If you’re missing your action fix then this will at least fill the void for the time being. It has buckets full of fighting, some sort of plot and a couple of decent actors (Sam Neill and Jim Caviezel) to keep it ticking over. So saying that, put your brain in neutral and enjoy. – Howe gives it 3 popped up bicep veins out of 5. – Taylor gives it 2.5 bad one-liners out of 5.

Dig up these Swedes Graveyard: Lights Out

hen roaming the dark boreal forests of Scandinavia, Swedish psychedelic blues-rock band, Graveyard, may have stumbled upon the means to make themselves sound like visitors from out of time. The Gothenburg quartet (Joakim Nilsson, vocals and guitar, Jonatan LaroccaRamm, guitar and vocals, Rikard Edlund, bass, Axel Sjoberg, drums) nail the analog glory of the years 1970 – Dean Gordon-Smith 73; the pinnacle of the classic hard rock era. Graveyard brings that deep and warm sound to life with thoughtful ballad writing and a thundering avalanche of chordal riffs that groove. They get heavy but in a tasteful, melodramatic frame – no wanking. The group works the ballad/heavy rock mediums with a swing and strut that grooves even in moments of fury (Seven Seven). Songs are short and the album is brief. Graveyard knows how to work dynamics to give their hard rock extra punch: Nilsson can roar like a berserker but he keeps the Valkyrie shrieks under control. The guitar work references ‘70s devotion to heavy rhythms that roll and textural chords with depth. Their attention to the dark groove is hypnotic and the use of minor/major key patterns is heavy on the atmospherics. The group’s presentation is startling, and the rocking is hard, but there’s a spirit of bluesy melancholy and grinding propulsion. The feeling of

melodrama gives the ballads an air of mystery that’s otherworldly (Hard Time Lovin’). Sensitivity and swagger find equal place in Graveyard’s personality. In that sense, they’re similar in sound to the Peter Green era of Fleetwood Mac. Their harder edge recalls early Black Sabbath and a less excessive Deep Purple. Graveyard’s new status in the resurrected hard rock pantheon is reinforced by the merger of their performance/songwriting style and the album production. Lights Out has all the richness and depth of the classic heavy blues rock years. The music glows no matter how heavy it sounds. In the end, the group is a rare split of power and sensitivity to mood. The music kicks and rumbles but the earthquake has colour.

Interfaith project explores death Cara Brady

Morning Star Staff

While death is certain, various faith groups approach death, dying and the afterlife in ways that have similarities and differences. The Interfaith Connecting project provides information and understanding in a three-part event on Sunday. It starts with an Interfaith Café on Death and Dying from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. with speaker Sheila Odney from Hospice House, followed by round-table discussions with representatives of area faith groups. The event takes place at The Schubert Centre. “Last year, we found that people wanted to learn more, in a deeper way, about the phases of life and that has been our focus for this year. People tell us they appreciate having an opportunity to learn this way,” said Harpal Dhillon, who represents the Sikh community as an Interfaith Committee board member. Since last fall, the committee has had public presentations on life transitions, including birth, coming of age, families and elders. “You are getting insight into different cultures, their his-

“You are getting insight into different cultures...and the spiritual meaning of their traditions.” — The Rev. Canon Chris Harwood-Jones tory and the spiritual meaning of their traditions. Sheila will talk about how Hospice House relates to and accommodates the traditions of the faiths of their clients,” said the Rev. Canon Chris Harwood-Jones of All Saints Anglican Church, who will moderate the evening panel discussion. “People say they learn so much from each other at the round-table discussions and that is something I find very interesting.” Dhillon shared something of Sikh traditions about death to give an idea of what people can expect to learn from the discussions of her religion and those of others represented. When someone of the Sikh faith dies, family and friends start reading the holy book aloud, Granth Sahib, at home or in the temple in two-hour shifts. The entire book can be read

in 48 hours this way. Priest and mourners pray at the cremation and then gather at the temple for prayer for the soul to be in peace, and to eat together. “Until you have these kinds of conversations, you don’t know. I’m looking forward to this,” said Harwood-Jones. After the Interfaith Café, there will be a break until 6 p.m. People are welcome to stay at The Schubert Centre to visit and buy a light supper from the cafeteria or to come back later for the panel discussion. The panel discussion on Afterlife, with representatives from the Muslim, Sikh, Baha’i, Christian and Buddhist faiths, will include presentations followed by a questionand-answer time. The panel discussion runs from 6 to 7:30 p.m. People are welcome to attend any or all parts of the day’s events. Admission is free. For more information, contact vdiss.interfaith@gmail.com. The Interfaith Connecting Committee project will conclude with a wedding traditions presentation Nov. 29 and a drama in the new year. The project is sponsored by the Vernon and District Immigrant Services Society with funding from EmbraceBC.

leave the mess on the farm (included with $4 Kids Corral admission, must use a Davison Pumpkin). Also in the Kids Corral, there is pumpkin bowling and a pumpkin toss on top of the usual giant sandbox, treehouse, straw maze, mini golf and more. For the even younger crowd, the Davisons have set up a “Baby Photo Op Station” with a hollowed out pumpkin to photograph your little one in. Bring your baby and your camera. “Adults might appreciate all the pumpkin goodies available now at the farm including pumpkin fudge, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pie from the bakery and pumpkin steamers and pumpkin soup in the café. “There is something for all ages at Davison Orchards, a great destination to make the most of the Pro-D Day and the last weekend in October.” Davison Orchards is open everyday until Oct 31.

Frustrated with workplace

ear Annie: I love my job, but I constantly see favouritism among the management staff. One in particular frustrates me. “Joe” was hired because of “what he brings to the table.” What he brings to the table is sitting at his desk surfing the Internet, talking to his friends and family, and playing games on his phone. In the meantime, the rest of us are working hard and getting nowhere. Why is it that people who pretend to work are the ones who get promoted? It just doesn’t make sense. Are employers really that blind? I’ve tried talking to my manager, who does nothing, as well as human resources, which sends me back to the manager. I get nowhere. I don’t want to come across as a

that someday he will be found out and your hard work will be appreciated. Your second option is to look for another job where management takes these things seriously. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Worried Grandma in Illinois,” whose granddaughter is being force-fed by her mother and stepmother. I am an occupational therapist who works with infants, toddlers and young children. I spend a great deal of time working with

feeding problems and picky eating. Many children are picky eaters at one time or another. However, force-feeding will result in picky eating turning into a significant problem. Stepping back and making mealtime a fun and positive experience will eventually lead to better eating. The parents should talk to their pediatrician and seek further evaluation. Many times picky eating can be due to reflux, oral motor delays or oral hypersensitivity, which results in the

Show off and prepare to accept recognition for your accomplishments in the year ahead. More options will be made available to you, and you should exploit the opportunities that will advance your cause. Think big and proceed with confidence. Share your success.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Focus on the unusual today. Learn all you can about a situation that can benefit your environment as well as bring in extra cash. Good fortune is within reach. Make an offer and see what it gets you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Follow your heart and plunge into encounters that promise growth. Make changes at home that contribute to your goals, success and happiness.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Someone is withholding information. You have to reach out and ask specific questions so you can base your next move on what’s real, instead of assumptions. A personal change looks positive.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Listen carefully, especially to talk about financial matters. Someone may try to take advantage of your generosity or gullibility. Focus on home, love and making your personal life better. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A suggestion may appear to be a little unusual, but when you break it down, you will discover a sensible purpose. You should try to find a way to make it happen. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) You may have to alter the way you do things or even take a different route to get to the destination that you are determined to reach. Update your look and you’ll set a trend. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Make a choice and proceed without looking back. You have more going for you than you realize. A financial gain is apparent, and it could prove quite a windfall. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Don’t let restlessness be your downfall. Embrace change but don’t initiate it. You are best to wager the pros and cons before you leap into something you may regret. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Express your concerns and your plans. Meet in person with a concerned party if it will help you make your point. Explore the possibility of making your home life less expensive and more convenient. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Keep a watchful eye on what others do. Advancement comes by using your skills to impress people and make a difference. Make your contribution count.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Put your time and energy behind something or someone you believe in, and you will make your way to a very comfortable position. A judicious compromise will lead to success. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Expect to face someone who is overreacting or pushing boundaries. Don’t get bullied into something that you don’t want to do. Stand your ground and prepare to follow your own path.

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.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

The future is electric AMSTERDAM – BMW has joined the race for the electric car dollar. On the evidence of two days driving the funky-looking all-electric i3 through the narrow streets of old Amsterdam and alongside the picturesque canals of rural Holland, the German manufacturer may have a winner.

It handles beautifully at any speed and hugs the road; thanks to the technology-laden aluminum platform, that gives it a very low centre of gravity.

I truly believe that Mazda is on to something

’’

Zack Spencer

The Lowdown Power: 2.0L 4-cylinder with 155hp or 2.5L with 184hp Fill-up: 9.9L/7.0L/100km (city/highway) Sticker price: $15,995-$29,895

2014 Mazda3 Mazda, on a global scale, is a small company, so developing new products is a major undertaking. This is why they shared engineering with the Ford Motor Company for many years but that relationship dissolved in 2010. Instead of modifying existing, co-developed vehicles platforms, engines and transmission, the company took a radical turn in the way they develop new products. I’m sure by now you have seen Mazda’s ads for “Skyactiv Technology”. This is the name for their radical design and manufacturing approach. By engineering vehicles from a blank sheet of paper, Mazda could focus on simplifying the manufacturing process to save money, a crucial part of this small companies survival. This new 2014 Mazda3 is the third vehicle to be built using Mazda’s Skyactiv Technology, behind the Mazda CX-5 SUV and Mazda6 sedan.

Looks The platform used to build this all new Mazda3 is a shared chassis with the other two Skyactiv products. They elongate, widen or shorten the platform to suit each vehicle. In this case, it is slightly shorter then the CX-5. In fact, the new Mazda3 is lower, wider and slightly shorter than the last model but the wheelbase has been stretched by 60mm. This pushes the wheels out to the corner of the car, providing a solid stance and improving interior space. Then Mazda went about hand forming the body to produce a style that conveys motion, even standing still. Sold as a sedan or hatchback, the long hood, sweeping lines and powerful stance make a statement in a class that can be rather subdued.

Inside The goal for this latest model was to have a dynamic looking interior, fitted with materials and features not typically found in a compact car. The dashboard is covered with, not only a soft material, rather a plush-feeling dash. Then there is the dash-mounted communication screen placed in the centre of the dash. This is standard on the middle GS and upper GT trim; the base GX is not so lucky. The driver can touch the screen to access music, navigation and phone settings but once the car is in motion the screen is only adjustable through a rotary dial controller between the front seats. Mazda places three, easy-to-memories,

buttons above the dial for access to the most common functions. On the top GT model there is even a heads-up display that sits right on top of the driver’s instrument cluster, helping to keep the information high enough that it focuses the driver’ s attention on the road. The seats are comfortable and can be fitted with leather on the top model. Even though Mazda lengthened the wheelbase by 60mm, the back seat isn’t long on legroom.

Drive By developing the direct injection engines, chassis and transmission at the same time, the Mazda engineers were able to shed weight. The lighter platform and powerful 2.0L 4-cylinder with 155hp is a nice match on the base and GS trim levels, driving either a 6-speed manual or all-new 6-speed automatic. The top GT is equipped with a 2.5L engine with 184hp but is only available with the automatic. I’m surprised that the manual is not offered with this engine, as driving enthusiast will be attracted to this engine right away. On the road, the steering is very quick and the feedback well above average. The previous Mazda3 was at the top of the class in terms of driving dynamics and this new model takes it to a whole new level.

I’m confident in saying that this new model feels like a much more expensive car.

Verdict The standard features list is strong, including keyless entry, push button start, Bluetooth and USB connectivity for $15,995. If you equip the base model with air conditioning and automatic transmission, the price jumps to $18,795. The middle GS trim is the place most Canadians will shop and the range is from $19,695-$22,595 for things like heated seats, leather steering wheel, rain sensing wipers and more. The top GT with the larger engine, 18-inch wheels, xenon headlamps, Bose stereo and navigation, ranges from $25,855$$29,855. As you can see, the price can ratchet up rather quickly. The upside is that this is a car that can provide solid, fun to drive transportation, wrapped in a stylish package. Higher-end models feel like a much more expensive car, with qualities not found previously in this class of car. So, the price might be justified. I truly believe that Mazda is onto something, this is the best car in the compact class. zack@motormouth.ca

For Car Girl’s Garage Amy Lawson, 35, leads an active life. She likes to be outdoors, to play sports, surf, bake and has a thriving social life. Professionally, she was recently promoted to be the Territory Manager for Drydock Footwear Group. Her territory covers British Columbia and Alberta. Being on the road is a sizeable component of her work. When it came time to trade in her Nissan Xtrail – which she loved to pieces – she was torn when deciding what vehicle to purchase. “The Xtrail has been a fabulous car, but I’ve outgrown it and need something that can better accommodate all my equipment,” she says. In the process, she considered SUVs, hatchbacks and crossovers. The Ford Flex, Ford Escape, Honda Pilot, Mitsubishi Outlander were on her list to look at. Amy states, “When I started to research vehicles, the No. 1 thing on my priority list was interior space. I needed lots of it.” She continues, “I didn’t mind if the vehicle wasn’t sexy! I need functional. Good looks were secondary to me.” Because of her current role, it requires travelling around the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, BC and Alberta with various promotional gear, display units, sample products and more. Not to mention, if she can pack in her sports equipment like her bicycle, snowboard or surfboard in, too, that would be even better. Price was also a factor for her. “I had a budget to work with, and I needed my payments to be around $500 a month,” Amy mentions. “And since I’d be spending a fair amount of time behind the wheel, I’d need something that was comfortable, too.” When chatting about potential matches, the idea of a minivan came up. I saw the excitement in her eyes. In her personal life, she is not the typical minivan candidate. With no children to drive to hockey or soccer practice, some people might question her enthusiasm. But to her, it seemed like the perfect fit. “I was just so excited about it. Minivans make life so much easier and you can just do so much with them,” she explains. “It made a lot more sense than a pickup and much more sense than an SUV.” A few minivans/minivan-esque vehicles she looked into were the Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna and Mazda5. Though the Honda and Toyota ap-

pealed to her, it was the Dodge Grand Caravan that had exactly what she was looking for. It was in her price range and had some handy features that would allow easy loading and unloading of her gear. She even really likes its look. Amy tells me, “I can fit two mountain bikes inside with people and still have room for more.” The Dodge Grand Caravan that she selected is the Crewe trim, which also came with some extras. She has a towing package, a rear DVD entertainment system (perfect for passing time on ferry rides!), Stow ‘n Go seats, remote keyless entry to the doors and liftgate and more. While she can’t be happier with her purchase, the signing on the dotted line did make her heart beat quite a bit faster. “There’s a lot of anxiety to buying a car. It’s a big purchase and you want to make sure you make the best choice you can.” And speaking of choices, the biggest question when selecting her chariot of choice? “Should I get the white one or the black one?!” she jokingly asked. She went with black. When looking back on the experience and looking at her Grand Caravan, she happily says, “What I didn’t think would be very sexy vehicle ended up being the sexiest to me. And there’s so much space!” Ladies, if you’re looking at buying a new vehicle and would like some suggestions/ assistance, email the Car Girl’s Garage and you could potentially be featured in Driveway. Include your name, email address where best to be reached, a little bit about yourself, what you’re looking for and what price range you need to work with. thecargirlsgarage@gmail.com Twitter.com/cargirlsgarage

safety feature on the 2010 Fusion (well worth having) was a Blind Spot system that comes with Cross Traffic Alert, which was a unique to Ford system. Radar sensors in the rear side quarter panels can detect a moving object within a 20 metre (65-ft) range on either side. Great to have when vision is restricted (as it often is) when backing out of a parking stall. This generation is also a quieter Fusion. Changes to reduce cabin noise levels include an acoustic windshield, thicker front-door glass, new hood insulators, additional sound deadening in the trunk and a new headliner in the cabin that’s made with an absorption material. An air filter that removes respiratory irritants and toxins from entering the cabin was also a new standard feature of Fusion. A new standard innovation was a fuel filler system called EasyFuel. Not only does it eliminate the need to remove a gas cap when filling up, it reduces evaporative emissions. You simply push the fuel-pump nozzle into a gas tank receptacle and it automatically seals shut when removed. Six standard airbags helped the Fusion attain a top five-star crash-test rating. If an air bag is deployed, Fusion also has a unique emergency alert system that flashes the hazard warning lights and sounds the horn, to attract attention. An electronic stability-control system with a brake-activated traction control system was a new standard safety feature. The MyKey security system was made a standard feature on the 2011 Fusion, a spotter mirror, to help eliminate blind spots, was incorporated in the door mirrors and the SE edition got standard automatic headlights. No significant changes were made for 2012. Good reliability, owner satisfaction and low cost of repair ratings helped the 2012 Ford Fusion get a “Recommend” rating from Consumer Reports. Ford Fusion buyers also benefit from having a good supply of them on the market and used prices tend to be reasonable. A potentially great value pre-owned purchase.

Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase.

Recalls on the 2010 to 2012 Ford Fusion: 2010 - A problem with the manual recliner mechanisms on the front seats may cause additional movement of the seat back. Dealers will replace the seat recliner mechanisms. 2010 - A park pawl in the automatic transmission may not fully engage when shifted into “Park” and this could allow the vehicle to roll on an incline, if the park brake is not activated. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the park rod guide retention pin. 2010/2011- The lug nuts on vehicles equipped with 17 inch steel wheels may loosen and this could result in wheel separation. Dealers will replace the lug nuts on all four wheels, inspect the rear brake rotors and replace them as necessary. Drivingwheel@shaw.ca

Bridge by Phillip Alder DO NOT BE DEAF TO THE AUCTION Walter Lippmann, who originated the terms “Cold War” and “stereotype,” said, “It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: The music is nothing if the audience is deaf.” At the bridge table, the auction is nothing if the players are deaf to it. This deal would be impossible for anyone who did not remember the bidding; it would be testing for someone who did. How should South plan the play in three no-trump? West leads his fourth-highest heart. East wins with his ace and returns the three, his original fourth-highest. (If he had started with only three hearts, he would have led

back his higher remaining card in the suit.) To be honest, although it was best here, I disapprove of West’s opening lead. With no side-suit entry, he should have led his spade. (The last time I did not lead partner’s suit, diamonds, they made three no-trump vulnerable instead of going down three.) South has eight top tricks: three spades, one heart and four clubs. He does not have time to play on diamonds, so must get four spade tricks. With silent opponents, declarer would cash his ace and queen, but that does not rate to work here, needing West to have a singleton jack. South should hope that West has a singleton eight or nine. Declarer plays a

club to dummy’s 10, then leads specifically the spade 10. If East plays low, South runs the 10. If East covers with his jack, declarer wins with his ace (or queen) and happily notes the fall of the eight on his left. He returns to the dummy with a club, plays a spade to his seven, and can claim.

• Cash advance’s on cattle available up to $400,000.00 ($100,000.00 interest free) • Must be enrolled in AgriStability • Must own the cattle Check out www.bcbfa.ca for more information or contact Lindy at 250-992-8483 or Michele at 250-546-2638 Advertising made possible by funds from Cattle Industry Development Council Cattle Dollars Working For the Cattle Industry

BERRYHILL, Monica BERRYHILL, HILDA “MONICA” passed away peacefully October 22, 2013 at the age of 98 years. She was born July 18, 1915 in Purple Springs, Alberta, near Taber. She married James Berryhill on November 9, 1935 in Taber, Alberta during the hard Ɵmes of the depression. In 1939 they decided to move west and chose a farm on Rollings Lake Road in Lumby. The ũourney took 2 Ъ days but arrived to a beauƟful sight with green Įelds and an abundance of water. They mixed farming with logging and eventually started dairying. James passed away in 1976 and Monica stayed on the family farm with son Jim running the operaƟon. Monica had a deep passion for family and treasured every moment spent with them. She moved into Saddle Mountain ReƟrement Home around 1992 and later transferred to Heron 'rove ReƟrement Community in Vernon where she entertained the staī with her lively songs and Ƌuick wit unƟl her Įnal days. Monica will be lovingly remembered by brothers: Gerald, Frank, and Tim Brewin, and sister Eleanor Wagner, all from Alberta; children: Hilda Driver, Jim Berryhill, and Paƫ Rydde; 21 grandchildren: Debbie NuƩ, <athy Simmons, Cindi Pulver, Valerie McNiven, Mike Leach, Daniel and Steve Mechalchuk, Cheri Stewart, Steve and Peter Marshall, <athy Yamamoto, Susan Worthy Jarret, Aaron and Boyd Flaig, Shawn O’Neill, Chyle, Michelle and Brandon Rydde, Jamer Valerio, and Teana Berryhill; ϰ9 great grandchildren; and 7 great great grandchildren. She was predeceased by husband Jim; daughters: Joan Berryhill, Francis Marshall, and Sharona Flaig; parents Rowland and Hilda Brewin; grandson Doug Mechalchuk; brothers: Alfred, Norman, Jack, and Rodney; and sister Marũorie ScoƩ.

Dr Ralph J Maddess

It is with sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Dr. R.J.Maddess of Vernon, BC. from brain cancer. Ralph was born in Gimli, Manitoba in 1947 but spent much of his youth growing up in the United States. He received his MA and PhD in Psychology from U of Victoria. Ralph loved the outdoors and nature; he would tramp through forests with his Elkhound dogs and rescue birds, insects and animals whenever needed. He worked as a clinical psychologist for forty years, positively touching the lives of many people. He taught classes of psychology at Okanagan College and loved working at Round Lake Treatment Centre. He was a visionary - ahead of his time. He was a man of heart and free spirit. He will be sadly missed by his wife, Dawn and her family, his children Matthew (Fabienne) Maddess and Heidi Maddess; his sister Sharon (Ted) Yeadon; his brothers Marvin and Dwight; and his many friends. We give a gold star thank you to Hospice House for their compassionate care. A Celebration of Life will be held at 2 pm Nov 29th at Paddlewheel Park. No flowers.

Rosalie Gower 1931 – 2013

Former Commissioner of the Canadian Radio and Television Commission, OƩawa, ON; Alderman, Vernon, BC Raised in Field, BC, in the Rocky Mountains, Rosalie 'ower later seƩled in Vernon, where she raised her four children. Rosalie devoted her life to improving the lives of others less fortunate. She did her nurse͛s training in Victoria, worked for three years as a nurse in San Francisco while her architect husband, Terry 'ower, was based there in the late 1ϵ50s, then pracƟced at Vernon Jubilee Hospital through the 1960s. In the early 1970s she started a career in government, Įrst as a local alderman on Vernon City Council, then as Western Canada commissioner for the CRTC, sƟll based in Vernon. In 19ϴ0 she moved to OƩawa, having been appointed a fullͲƟme CRTC commissioner, where she parƟcipated in important decisions on Canadian content on radio and television and authored a criƟcal paper on seǆ role stereotyping in the media. ReƟring from the government in 1992, she built an organic farm on the hills above Vernon and eǆperimented with market gardening. Towards the end of the 1990s, Rosalie started to spend most of her Ɵme in San Miguel de Allende, Meǆico, where she became well known for her charity work. She played an important role in the planning and fundraising for Alma—a home for local seniors whose families do not have the means to care for them—and she worked Ɵrelessly for the SPA, devoted to the protecƟon of street animals. Rosalie was a talented singer and actor and was always involved in singing groups and amateur theatre, both in Canada and Meǆico. Rosalie 'ower is survived by her four children, Andrea and Tony of Nelson, BC, John of Courtenay, BC, and Terence of New zork, Nz as well as her four grandchildren.
