Police nab theft suspect Morning Star Staff
Vernon RCMP nabbed a robbery suspect following a hold-up at a downtown drug store Wednesday night. Police were called by the pharmacist on duty at a drug store in the Fruit Union Plaza shortly after 8:30 p.m. “The suspect made threats to the staff and left the store with an undisclosed amount of money,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk, adding there was an indication made by the suspect that he had a weapon, though no weapon was ever produced. The suspect, described to police as about six-feet tall, Caucasian, with a stocky build and wearing a black jacket with a hood, fled the scene on foot. Shortly before 11 p.m., City of Vernon bylaw officers making patrols noticed man matching the description and alerted RCMP. The man was arrested in the vicinity of 39th Street and 24th Avenue. He was taken into custody where it was discovered the suspect has outstanding warrants in B.C. and Alberta. The suspect, aged 34, of no fixed address, was scheduled to appear in Vernon Provincial Court Thursday to face charges of robbery, obstruction and possession of stolen property.

A Cherryville father and son will both stand trial relating to an Armstrong murder case. Stephen Roy Foerster, 59, has been ordered to stand trial following a three-day preliminary inquiry in Vernon Provincial Court. He is charged with accessory after the fact to murder and obstructing justice in connection with the death of Taylor Van Diest. The Armstrong teen was assaulted on Halloween night 2011 near the Rosedale Avenue railway tracks. She died Nov. 1 in Kelowna General Hospital. Foerster is slated to return to court Nov. 12 to fix a date for his trial. Foerster’s son, Matthew, 27, has been accused of Van Diest’s murder. His trial, after a number of delays, is slated to begin in Kelowna in March 2014. A candlelight vigil and walk was held in Van Diest’s memory Thursday night.

Campaign tally starts
Scary Stuff
ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The numbers are now being tabulated. Thursday was the wrap-up of the Society for the Future Governance of Greater Vernon’s campaign to have a question about a provincial review of the local governance structure included in next year’s municipal election ballots. “We’re collecting the petitions now,” said society representative Bruce Shepherd Thursday. “We’ve got to go through the lists to make sure the signatures are squeaky clean.” Shepherd expect his organization will work evenings and through the weekend to have official numbers ready for Monday or Tuesday at the latest. He would not speculate on how many signatures have been received. “We need to know the breakdown of Vernon, Coldstream and (electoral areas) B and C numbers,” said Shepherd. Bruce Shepherd “Total-wise, I think we’re good. If you look at the turnouts for the last few elections, for what we did I think we have a good turnout compared to those.” The society launched in September with a goal of discussing among the citizens of Vernon, Coldstream and regional district Electoral Areas B and C the intent to improve the governance of these areas. The petition question was: “As a citizen of Greater Vernon, I support a review by local and provincial authorities to develop a plan to combine our regional governments (City of Vernon, District of Coldstream, Electoral Area B, and Electoral Area C) into a single entity, for the purpose of more efficient use of our local tax dollars.” The group has a meeting with Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster to discuss the petition and the next step in its process slated for next week.

Anti-idling campaign recommended for City of Vernon Council looks at raising awareness roger knox Morning Star Staff
The City of Vernon will spend money on an anti-idling education campaign that could include posters and paper handouts. But how much money the city spends will be up to council at budget time. A recommendation was put forth to council to direct administration to include a budget amount of $5,450 for the first year and an additional $4,500 per year thereafter to implement the proposed anti-idling campaign. The campaign would be funded from taxation. “It’s a great idea to have people stop idling,
and obviously I support that, but I have a problem spending money on making posters and paper handouts to tell people to stop polluting with their cars,” said Coun. Brian Quiring. “I’d rather see more emphasis be put on placing signs around schools or where people do have a tendency to wait for people, like at the rec centre when picking up kids from swimming. “Everyone sits there idling, I do too.” Staff pointed out there are existing signs in place at schools, around town, and possibly already at the rec centre, but it was felt that an education campaign was needed to raise the profile and awareness of the importance of reducing vehicle idling. That’s when Coun. Patrick Nicol called for the question on the

original motion, ending discussion. Council voted 4-2 in favour of the staff recommendations with Couns. Bob Spiers
and Catherine Lord opposed. Lord then made a new motion to have the recommendation be included in budget
deliberations for 2014, adding the word deliberation to the motion. City administrator Will Pearce pointed out that the $5,450 approved
in the original motion is not an obligation. “It will be included in the draft proposal for budget consideration, this is not a commit-
ment,” said Pearce. “At budget time, we can change our mind and change the funding,” added Mayor Rob Sawatzky.

An alarm clock caused a bit of alarm in Lake Country Wednesday morning. Lake Country RCMP and other emergency responders were called at 7:40 a.m. to the Lake Country Post Office in the 3200 block of Berry Road to deal with a suspicious package. “Post office employees had detected a beeping sound coming from a parcel the size of a book,” said RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Wade Seversen. “The employees moved the parcel to the outside rear of the post office prior to emergency services attending. The investigation and subsequent examination by police revealed a normal alarm clock being mailed legitimately to a resident of Lake Country.” RCMP would like to remind anyone finding a suspicious package to clear the area of people and leave the parcel where it is found. If it is a legitimate device, movement could set it off.

Council debates secondary suites in rental units roger knox

The City of Vernon may soon have secondary suites where the primary unit is not owneroccupied.
The city’s affordable housing committee has recommended council authorize staff to investigate the feasibility of permitting single-family dwellings with sec-
ondary suites that do not require the property owner to live in either the main unit or secondary suite. “We had a member of the community

come forward wanting to put a secondary suite in a rental home,” said Vernon Coun. Juliette Cunningham, who is also a city rep on the affordable housing committee. Vernon’s current zoning bylaw on the matter requires the property owner to live in either the primary unit or secondary suite. If they don’t, the secondary suite is to be decommissioned. “We thought this was worthwhile to ask staff to look into it,” said Cunningham. “We feel we’ve been really successful in having council and the general community support secondary suites because of having that required.
“We thought this was worthwhile to ask staff to look into it.” — Cunningham Having the owner occupy helps limit issues.” It was along those lines that Coun. Bob Spears opposed the recommendation. “The idea that we would ever allow where the owner doesn’t live in the suites seems a step backward,” said Spears. “We’ll have nothing but problems in the future. I don’t think this is even worth investigating.” Coun. Catherine

Lord said she didn’t see an awful lot of difference between primary unit and secondary suites, and duplexes. “Duplexes could be rented out to two different families, neither one of which own the unit,” said Lord. Mayor Rob Sawatzky wants to hear from other communities that allow homes with secondary suites to be nonowner-occupied and
how things have worked out for them. A report from city planner Dale Rintoul said there are “several communities” in the province that allow secondary suites where the owner does not have to live on the property. Council voted in favour of directing staff to look into amending its zoning bylaw to permit not requiring the property owner to reside in either a primary unit or secondary suite of a single family dwelling. The staff ’s report will also be referred to the affordable housing committee for its review and recommendations to council.

Fee break raises questions RICHARD ROLKE
Morning Star Staff
The provincial government has initiated free criminal record checks but questions revolve around who is eligible. Beginning Nov. 30, organizations in B.C.’s volunteer and nonprofit sector will be eligible for free criminal record checks for volunteers who work with children and vulnerable adults. But a Ministry of Attorney General release doesn’t indicate whether school districts are considered to be non-profit groups. “I have e-mailed the Ministry of Education to ask how the process of using this new service will work for schools,” said Joe Rogers, Vernon School District superintendent.
“Volunteers are a tremendous benefit to the community.” — Catherine Lord
The issue of criminal record checks arose locally in May when the City of Vernon initiated a $25 fee for each application to cover its processing costs. At the time, the Vernon School District stated it could be on the hook for $25,000 a year if it paid for criminal record checks for volunteers in schools. Catherine Lord, a Vernon city councillor, points out that not all community volunteers are covered by the new provincial policy.
“This is for volunteers who work with children and vulnerable adults,” she said. “But volunteers who fall outside of these parameters will still need to get a check done locally and they will also pay the fee.” Lord says she welcomes the new provincial policy. “Volunteers are a tremendous benefit to a community, and volunteering should not have an impact on the volunteer’s pocketbook,” she said.
In July, Vernon council agreed to discount the $25 fee for criminal record checks by 75 per cent for people who are financially disadvantaged but want to volunteer. Other elements of the Ministry of Attorney General policy includes a more efficient sharing of current, verified criminal record checks among groups in the non-profit sector, saving them time and paperwork.

The federal ministry of aboriginal affairs and the office of Northern Development Canada were going to receive a Halloween treat in the form of a letter from the City of Vernon. The city had until Thursday to express its concern about proposed amendments to the additions-toreserve/reserve-creation-policy, following a request from the mayor of Delta, Lois E. Jackson, to all B.C. mayors and councils. Jackson said proposed changes would have signifiRob Sawatzky cant implications to local governments, and would allow First Nations to add lands to their reserves that are outside of their traditional territory. “This is another potential example of federal
downloading,” said Vernon Mayor Rob Sawatzky. “I think we can all agree it’s in the best interest of all Canadians for our aboriginal communities to be proud, strong and financially healthy, and contributing to our national economy on their own well-being.” Jackson said there are seven main points for concern, ranging from the reasons for additions, location of reserve lands, land use, no veto power and net tax loss. She also stated the proposed amendments are unclear as to how the new policy will impact the provincial Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR).

Planning ahead
oday if you want to get a college or university education, you better have a plan. This is especially important for those thinking about university degrees in arts and science, more so perhaps than for other credentials which are tied to work place outcomes (such as a surveying diploma or a degree in nursing). An education plan is intended to help students who complete less applied programs (such as a bachelor of arts degree with a major in English) figure out their career goal with this degree in mind. As an example, someone with a degree in English could complete a one-year teaching degree and become a teacher. They might also consider Jane Muskens a certificate program in TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) and embark upon a career teaching ESL either locally or internationally. English degrees also lend themselves well for work in communications, public relations, publishing and writing. These are career plans that students with this degree need to consider before they begin their studies. The problem with planning is that most young adults I know aren’t always certain of the kind of work they want to do, let alone at a point to build a career plan that will guide them to determining what college or university credential they need to get there. Many need to start taking courses to help them figure this out. That’s why it is so difficult for some of them to wrap their head around the idea of going to school and linking this to a viable working career. One of the best ways to help young adults

build a career plan and to make the best postsecondary decision is to have them talk to those people working in jobs they might want to consider. This may seem like a hard thing to do – but right now most post-secondary institutions across Canada are hosting career fairs where they invite professionals from a number of sectors to attend. The goal of these fairs is to connect people in the know with high school student and adults currently looking at career and education options. At Okanagan College’s upcoming career fair on Sunday, November 3, a new event focused on how to plan for post-secondary has been added to help those who have been out of high school for a number of years and soon-to-be high school graduates. This seminar (called Admissions and Advising) is geared towards those who are just starting to figure out what their options are and where the planning begins. It starts at 11:30 am and is located in E103 – in the Centre for Learning building, Kelowna Campus on KLO road. (The Career Fair runs from 10:30 to 3 p.m. Admission and parking are free.) Another favorite event at the OC Career Fair that is often well attended is College Prep 101 for Parents. This session is geared towards parents so they can help their son or daughter navigate through the number of post-secondary options available to them – both locally and provincially. It starts at 1 p.m. and is in the lecture theatre. Most things in life need a plan, whether it is a vacation, building a new house or changing your job. Education is no different. Jane Muskens is the registrar at Okanagan College. Comments can be forwarded to jmuskens@okanagan.bc.ca
Our municipalities and province likely won’t be using Internet voting to help determine election results anytime soon. That doesn’t mean we won’t eventually be using such a method to cast our ballots in future. An independent panel tasked by Elections B.C. to study Internet voting recommended that any such system not be implemented in time for the upcoming municipal election, nor the next B.C. vote. But it did suggest that a technical committee be struck to look into the matter further and that the legislature should support jurisdictions that wish to pursue the option in future. The preliminary report offered less than lukewarm support for the idea. It confirmed that making voting easier for people in this way – those who are incapacitated, can’t work a trip to their local polling station into their schedule, or are too lazy to do so come to mind – has not been shown in other jurisdictions to significantly increase voter turnout. Increasing voter turnout at any level still comes down to individuals and parties doing the legwork and convincing non-voters of the importance of getting engaged in their communities, and potentially making a difference through casting their ballot. That said, the world is fast becoming an all-digital environment, where computers and cellphones can be used for virtually any transaction. While the report states the current system of voting is trusted by those who vote, that factor will become less meaningful as time goes on and generations that have grown up with technology become our communities’ core voters. We may not have the most efficient or system-improving Internet voting experiences to draw from yet, but now is the best time to begin investigating this option, to be ready for when it is the best alternative.

Rights and freedoms important
I
am growing very weary by what I see happening, in general, in our society today. Don't get me wrong, there is a myriad of goods and services options for all of us to research and choose from. What's disturbing though, is the fact that some individuals or groups feel they are much smarter than I am, or maybe I can't research for myself. They seem to believe that they have the right or power to limit the number of options that I could research for myself and or choose the one I feel is best for me. I don't believe that just because someone doesn't like meat or vegetables or some brand of vehicle or some brand of clothing or some published books, that they should be able to have those options removed as a viable choice to the rest of the public. I do believe though, that they do have the right to present their beliefs and food fight The ‘food fight of the century’ is in full swing with legislators, farmers and consumers opposing bio-tech corporations on the subject of GMOs and genetically modified food. British Columbia took a step toward becoming a genetically engineered free province when leaders of regional and municipal governments passed a resolution to ban GMOs at their annual convention in Vancouver in September. The Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) adopted a resolution to ask the provincial government to declare B.C. a ‘GMO free zone’ banning the importing, exporting and growing plants and seeds containing genetically engineered DNA, and banning genetically engineered animals. Among those supporting the ban is Richmond city councillor Harold Steeves, who raises grass-fed cattle in the BC Interior and Lower Mainland. “A growing number of BC ranchers have switched to grass-fed beef. We are making way more money than we ever did when we shipped our cattle to Alberta to be grain-fed, but we depend upon alfalfa. We

simply do not want to be in a position where we are marketing beef that has been fed alfalfa that is contaminated,” he said. "We are asking for B.C. to be the first major jurisdiction in Canada to follow suit with Europe and all the other countries that have banned genetically engineered crops.” Farmers growing conventional and organic crops are in the cross hairs of the food fight. GMO crops ruin the purity of organic and non-organic crops via cross pollination. That is the crux of the issue. Once contaminated, farmers lose their export markets as many countries ban imports of genetically modified crops for health and environmental concerns. Traditional farmers are also worried about the a crisis in weed management caused by glyphosate-tolerant crops as herbicideresistant ‘superweeds’ are becoming commonplace. Canadian consumers, meanwhile, have been blindsided as the lack of labeling leave many unaware that genetically modified (aka genetically engineered) food even exists. The lack of safety studies by Health Canada raises even

more issues. In May 2013 two million people participated in protest of GMOs in 52 countries and 436 cities including Vernon. You can add your voice to the growing concern about the corporate take-over of the world food supply. I hope B.C. does become a GMO-free zone, and you can help. Remember our provincial motto is Super Natural BC. Let’s keep it that way. heidi osterman farmer responds After reading some of the letters about GM crops, I feel compelled to respond. There is a lot of talk about GM and GMO products and as a Peace Country farmer, I would not even use the word ‘product.’ The seeds used on our farms are a technological advantage to combat weeds and pests, and there is no evidence that the GM component actually carries from the seed through to the processed product. GM crops have become an essential part of many Canadian grain farms in the past 15 years and we currently use GM crops
Furthermore, I feel quite confident in assuming that these individuals or groups generally detest dictatorships and would do anything in their power to have them dissolved. I also believe very strongly in democracy. Yes, in true democracy, when decisions are made that we do not agree with, the process is not to keep re-visiting that decision until it meets our approval. Rather, our duty is to accept the decision of the majority. I could ramble on and on, but I hope that by now I have made my point. I think now is the time for each of us to search our soul and decide — am I a part of a society that believes in multiple choices and personal decisions, or a part of a group that believes they know what is best for everyone? I feel very strongly that it is my right to make a choice for myself, not someone else making a choice for me. Chuck frerichs
as part of our crop cycle, which is usually three years of a non-GMO cereal grain to one year of GM canola. The technology used in our Roundup Ready Canola has helped us to drastically reduce weeds in our fields, resulting in a cleaner crop; while at the same time reducing the use of additional chemical herbicides during our three years of growing wheat, barley or oats. Summer fallowing, which was suggested as an effective alternative to herbicides in crop production, is a very outdated practice that is not economical to use in today’s agricultural environment. Over the years, we have been struggling to build up soil organic matter with zero till and to mitigate soil erosion by wind and heavy rains: one year of summer fallow will counteract years of no till efforts. As a Peace Country farmer, I am looking forward to new breakthroughs researchers are generating to make more Genetically Modified seeds available to Canadian farmers to combat the many weeds, pests and diseases which threaten our crops year in

Students to write stories in three hours Morning Star Staff
Scores of budding authors will gather at all four Okanagan College campuses to test their writing talents in the fourth annual Three-Hour Short Story Contest Nov. 16. Open to students in Grades 11 and 12, and to all current Okanagan College students, contestants are given 180 minutes to create an original literary piece that incorporates a word, phrase, or object revealed at the start of the contest. “Having the surprise element meant I couldn’t plan. I went in cold, and got to really see what I can do. It was fun,” said last year’s
winner Samantha Wex. Five prizes are up for grabs. Each campus declares a regional winner who receives a $250 Okanagan College tuition credit. A grand prize winner is then selected from among the four regional winners and awarded an additional $250 tuition credit plus a chapbook publication of their story created by Okanagan College writing and publishing diploma program students and Kalamalka Press. “The contest gets students excited about writing,” said contest organizer and Okanagan College professor Sean Johnston. “It’s an act of courage for many of
the younger students to take part, but they walk away from the experience happy and surprised at what they were able to produce in such a short period of time. “The contest is also an introduction to the great diversity and strength of the college’s creative writing faculty. We have a programming and instructional focus on creative writing, with many successful working authors teaching university transfer courses and the two-year writing and publishing program.” Registration for the contest is free. Visit www.okanagan. bc.ca/3hourwriting to sign up before the Nov. 15 deadline.

Those looking for work in this changing labour climate can receive helpful information at Okanagan College’s 32nd annual Career Fair, Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the college’s Kelowna campus. From carpentry to health care, engineering technology to writing and publishing, the free fair will offer insights and opportunities about careers and educational paths. Among the 50 exhibitors will be representatives from the Skilled Trades Employment Program (STEP), which operates under the B.C. Construction Association. “One of our main goals is to connect workready skilled tradespeople to jobs. We work with employers on a provincial scope and help meet the needs of both job seekers and employers,” said Kathy Wallis, STEP regional manager for the Southern Interior. “We are also at Career Fair to help answer questions about the current labour market and the opportunities that exist. There is a lot of talk these days about the skills shortage and we can help anyone considering a career in the skilled trades develop a better understanding of where the shortages are and can provide advice on the right training to prepare for the opportunities.” A walk around the fair will offer a wide variety of career options and the training and education they require. “All of our trades shops will be open and we’ll have demonstrations going on all day,” said associate dean of trades and apprenticeship Randy Werger. “We’re doing something new this year. We’re calling it ask a tradesperson. We will be offering up useful trades tips for anyone interested in knowing some trades’ secrets. For example, ever wondered why you get condensation on your toilet? Our instructors will be explaining why this happens and showing participants how to prevent it.” Career Fair isn’t just for those interested in the trades, it’s also about the many other careers that may require a university degree or diploma in arts or science, or credentials in health care, vocational programs or specific skill areas, said organizer Michelle Lowry. “All of our programs will be represented and our professors will be on campus to advise students, parents and anyone interested in post-secondary education on their options,” she said. “It’s a great chance to talk to the very people who teach at the college. Prospective students can find out about programs, credentials, transfer opportunities and jobs. Consider it a one-on-one advising opportunity with faculty.” Parking for the event is free and those who apply to an Okanagan College program at Career Fair will have their application fee waived.

fee will jump to $22,500. The district also offers, for a fee, optional programs such as the Whitecaps School Soccer Academy, RCMP Police Youth Academy, and a variety of sporting activities such as skiing and figure skating. The program has also added an activity fee of $250. “We’ve added the fee as it’s hard to plan for which student would go skiing at Silver Star or go to Science World in Vancouver,” said Vernon School District superintendent Joe Rogers. The International Student Program is offered at all five secondary schools in the district, with students having access to all subjects in the B.C. secondary school curriculum. “Mr. (Dave, program principal) Lee is in China now recruiting and has 29 kids excited about coming to Vernon,” said Rogers.

through the dynamic Zumbathon, spearheaded and sponsored by Sareena Sharma Nickoli and City Furniture, Oct. 25. More than 100 dancers were in constant motion for more than two hours of joyful shaking with 20 instructors to raise more than $7,000 for Habitat for Humanity’s “Lend a hand to buy the land” campaign. “Instructors were
incredible and so generous with their time and talents,” said Beth Marks, chair of the ad hoc group of women raising funds for Habitat and calling themselves the Habitat Champs. “Caleb Matthews, model and instructor from Kelowna, had all the women breathless in more ways than one, leading a red hot version of Boom Boom Mama. “Another highlight

sheer joy is indicative of the win/win scenario our group is getting used to,” said Marks. “We see so much goodwill toward the whole concept of creating decent, affordable and respectable housing for our hard-working citizens. Marks said once her group has enough money with the help of the community, they can turn over the cash for a multifamily lot and the reins to the Habitat for Humanity committee that has been working since 2007 to address the need of homes for the hard working. “Everyone participating in Friday night’s Zumbathon was deeply energized not only with the superb level of instruction and participation, but with the knowledge they helped to build something lasting and important,” said Marks. “We can’t thank everyone enough for coming out and being a part of this legendary night.” Special thanks went out to property owners of Predator Ridge who took home the coveted original art piece donated for the highest pledges. Silver Star Mountain staff also brought in a hefty pledge.

Let us heLp you with that. Our team of knowledgeable vitamin specialists are here to help. Meet Carrie. She is the Vitamin Manager at Nature’s Fare Markets in Vernon. Carrie has been a smiling member of the Nature’s Fare Markets team since 2012 and has had a passion for supplements since she was a teenager. Although Carrie has only been working in the health food industry for a short period of time, her passion for wellness and for improving health through diet has long been a part of her life. Before joining Nature’s Fare as an employee, Carrie was a regular shopper at the Vernon store. She saw how Nature’s Fare Markets provides people with a wonderful variety of options for making healthy choices. Her personal beliefs are in line with those of Nature’s Fare Markets, and she stands by the company’s mission statement, “To Ethically Assist Our Customers on Their Journey to Better Health” and has made it a part of her daily work life. Carrie is a tried, tested, and true believer in the power of acupuncture. She knows that it has positively changed both her emotional and physical well being. If you ask Carrie, she would tell you that her areas of expertise are green food supplements and essential fatty acids. She loves to experiment with new greens products and has yet to find a green food that she didn’t like! Although it was
a difficult choice, Carrie came to the conclusion that magnesium is the supplement that she could not live without. Carrie believes in organic because it means that the foods she eats have not been contaminated with chemical pesticides, herbicides, or insecticides. Being a part of the natural health industry has made Carrie realize how many ailments and diseases there are, which in turn has motivated her to continue learning about new, cutting edge supplements and theories on health and wellness. Carrie shares her life with her fun loving husband and her dogs and finds joy in the fact that she is able to touch others’ lives in a positive way. She loves being able to help others by offering her suggestions or by simply taking the time to listen to their concerns. Carrie shares her wisdom by encouraging others to feel the fear and do it anyway. She took a risk on changing her career mid-way through life and it has resulted in the satisfaction and fulfilment that she now enjoys each day. She knows the importance of overcoming the fear to achieve your dreams!

Trades students get funding boost Morning Star Staff
Students in the Okanagan who want to learn a trade are getting a helping hand with more than $367,000 in one-time funding for 88 foundation seats in targeted trades training courses during 2013-14. The funding for Okanagan College will support student spaces in plumbing and piping, and in electrical and metal fabrication programs at the college’s Kelowna campus. “The province’s welcome investment in additional trades capacity helps us answer student and industry demand in these program areas,” said Okanagan College president Jim Hamilton. “It’s vital that we keep working to address this increased demand for skilled workers.” Foundation training programs provide students with the basic knowledge and skills needed for
entry into a particular occupation. Students receive credit for the first-level apprenticeship training in a specific field by the Industry Training Authority once they have successfully completed the foundation program. “This investment in targeted trades foundation seats at Okanagan College’s Kelowna campus underlines our government’s commitment to encourage youth in the Okanagan to view trades training as a positive pathway to a great career,” said Steve Thomson, MLA for Kelowna-Mission. The funding is part of an overall $1.8 million for 456 student spaces in 2013-14 at 10 public post-secondary institutions throughout British Columbia and is over and above the funding that public postsecondary institutions will receive from the ITA in 2013-14 for foundation spaces.

Shantz rink shines at Star bonspiel Morning Star Staff
The Penny Shantz rink of Parksville/Salmon Arm won the Sun Valley Source For Sports A event in the 64th annual Vernon Ladies Silver Star Bonspiel last weekend. Sandra Jenkins, Debbie Pulak and Kate Horne supported Shantz in the 31-rink extravaganza. The Vernon Veterinary Clinic B event was won by Jami Mitchell of Vernon. Mitchell was backed by Heather Kyllo, Carole Weitzel and Deb Poggemoeller. Maureen Bird of Vernon topped the Denise Dobie/ Century 21 Realty C event. Bird’s foursome included Dianne Nohr, Denise Forsberg and Lynn Gordon. The Hi-Pro Sportswear D event champion was Di Bekker’s Salmon Arm rink of Tracy Latosky, Trish Probyn and Donna Shultz. Meanwhile, Vernon’s Jim Cotter, with John Morris at skip and throwing third stones, is in the Capital One Road to the Roar Pre-Trials, presented by Monsanto, beginning Tuesday at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium. Dreams of representing Canada at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, will remain alive for the four teams that prevail at the Road to the Roar Pre-Trials. A total of 12 men’s and 12 women’s teams are entered in the Pre-Trials, and two of each gender will advance to the final step of Olympic qualifying: the 2013 Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings Canadian Curling Trials, presented by Monsanto, running Dec. 1-8 at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg. Cotter, who has a front-end of Tyrel Griffith and Rick Sawatsky, opens Tuesday against the winner of Steve Laycock of Saskatoon and Rob Rumfeldt of Guelph, Ont. The format will see the teams in a triple-knockout draw,

The women’s qualifying games are Saturday, Nov. 9, at 7 p.m., and Sunday, Nov. 10, at 2 p.m. The men’s Trials qualifiers are Saturday, Nov. 9, at 2 p.m., and Sunday, Nov. 10, at 7 p.m. The Capital One Road to the Roar will feature four skips
who have won Olympic medals (Morris won gold in 2010 at Vancouver playing third for Kevin Martin; Brad Gushue won gold in 2006 at Turin, Italy, throwing fourth stones for Russ Howard, who called the shots; Cheryl Bernard won silver in 2010 at Vancouver; and Shannon Kleibrink won bronze in 2006 at Turin).
“At the same time, I’m happy to have them back.” Dancs and Wilson will be back in action tonight (7 p.m.) as the Vipers (9-6-1-3) continue a five-game home stand against the Salmon Arm SilverBacks (10-6-1-1) at Kal Tire Place. New inductees to the Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame will drop the ceremonial first puck for the game. Troy Mick’s Gorillas lead the season series 2-1, with Vernon winning the last contest 3-2 on Oct. 5. The ‘Backs, who doubled the Penticton Vees 4-2 in their lone BCHL tilt last weekend, will be without Vernon’s Alex Gillies, who was also tapped for Canada West. “We just got to keep our game simple,” said Williamson. “They’re a very opportunistic team. We have to be physical on their forwards and we have to be throwing pucks to the net with guys crashing the crease. That’s when we’ve had success against them.” Vernon captain Ryan Renz, who wasn’t quite ready for action last weekend, is probable for tonight. The defenceman from Castlegar missed the last 16 games with an ankle injury suffered in a fight with Salmon Arm captain Blake Box. “It’s kind of ironic it’s Salmon Arm again,” said Williamson. “It’s exciting for our captain to be back in the lineup.” To make room for Renz’ return from the injured reserve, Williamson traded forward Mike Iovanna to the Prince
George Spruce Kings Thursday in exchange for future considerations. Iovanna, a Middleton, Mass. native, was pointless in playing limited minutes in 14 games with the Snakes. Vernon entertains Bill Bestwick’s Victoria Grizzlies (9-6-11) in a 2 p.m. matinee Sunday. The Grizz are led by two of the three Fitzgerald triplets – Gerry has 13-10-23 in 17 games, and Myles has 6-16-22 in 17 games. Leo has played just four games with Victoria and is not expected to play this weekend. The 22-man Canada West roster (two goaltenders, seven defencemen and 13 forwards) was selected by Canada West head coach Jason McKee (Spruce Grove, AJHL), along with assistant coaches Trent Cassan (Yorkton, SJHL) and Ryan Smith (Selkirk, MJHL), and manager Shawn Bullock (Hockey Canada). Players named to the team were selected from the CJHL’s five western leagues, with the AJHL sending 11 players and Saskatchewan sending one. Neither the Manitoba nor the Superior International league (SIJHL) out of Ontario had a player named. Canada West will play in Group B at the Challenge, joined by the Czech Republic and Switzerland, while Canada East, Russia and the U.S. will comprise Group A.
Hannoun up for Challenge with Canada West crew Morning Star Staff
Demico Hannoun is among 10 B.C. Hockey Leaguers headed for Yarmouth, N.S. to play with Team Canada West in the World Junior A Challenge starting Monday. Hannoun, an 18-year-old forward from North Delta, was one of three Vernon Vipers to attend a four-day selection camp last weekend at the Markin MacPhail Centre in Calgary. Forward Dexter Dancs and d-man Jared Wilson didn’t make the cut. “Good for him,” said Vipers’ head coach Jason Williamson, of Hannoun. “Any time you have a member of your team make a team like that it’s exciting. He showed well at camp and will be a go-to guy for them. “His puck skills and talent are second-to-none in the league. When he’s Demico Hannoun out and competing, he’s dangerous every time he steps on the ice.” Williamson said Dancs and Wilson are disappointed, but added it is an honour just to be selected for the camp. “It’s quite a good team. There’s probably quite a few good players just like them who didn’t make it and feel the same way.

T-Birds brush off Stars 9-6 Morning Star Staff
The unbeaten Vernon Stevenson Mechanical Thunderbirds outlasted the Lumby Stars 9-6 in a North Okanagan Pee Wee Super Hockey League showdown Saturday at Priest Valley Arena. “No question the win was a total team effort,” said Joe O’Hearn, a coach with the T-Birds. “Goalies Jared Ross and Jordy Foster had many TSN moments.” Brady Beacom, Elias Wery, and Jacob Wettlaufer each scored a deuce for the 3-0 T-Birds, who got singles from Samuel White, Landen Harison and Michael Pusey. Defenceman Ryan Vandesande set up Pusey with a slick pass out of the Vernon zone. Winger Zach Manthorne pocketed four assists, while the stellar skating line of Nick Tilby, Aidan Rivard and Braydon Beese helped big-time. Drew MacKenzie and Tage Kineshanko each bagged two goals for the 3-1 Stars, singles going to Josh Litven and Tanner Franje-Gilbert. The Butcher Boys Raptors smack-downed Salmon Arm Askew’s Foods 12-2 and shut down the Bannister GM Heat 7-0 in other Pee Wee action. Sapien Joe, Chase Batchelor, Nicolas Petty, game MVP Brayden Riguidel and Carter Morris each rolled deuces versus Askew’s, while Maisun AngHamilton had a single. Hat tricks from Jacob Brewer and Batchelor pushed the Raptors past the Heat.
Brayden Szeman scored once and Morris took MVP on defence. The shutout was shared by Nicholas Maglio and Caenen Wisse. Josh Bridge scored three times as the DCT Chambers Marauders pasted Salmon Arm Fix Auto 8-2 in Bantam Super League action Saturday afternoon at the Shaw Centre. Cam MacKenzie and Sam Frisby had two goals each and Cole Martin rounded out the scoring for the Marauders, who gave starting goalie Sam Knox (14th) and defenceman Braydie Allan-Webber (13th) birthday presents with the win. Knox and Noah Foufoulas shared the net duties. The Five Star Award Cougars went to 3-0 in Bantam play by grounding North Okanagan Shepard’s Home Hardware Knights 10-5 and icing the Winfield Bruins 9-6. Nick Mann opened up Vernon’s scoring four minutes into the game. Miles Wohlford, Graham Moss, Chris Moore and a second by Mann gave the Cougars a 5-0 lead. Clayton Thielaan, David Remple and Corey Huber (shorthanded) answered for the Knights before Five Star Vernon regrouped and Mann set up Maguire Dickinson (1+2) in front. Darius Stone (1+2) made a behind-the-net pass right to Colton Schaper-Kotter for a 7-4 lead. before Kaylan Lawrence (2) sniped a pass from Schaper-

Austin Clarke replied for the Knights right after the face off, but Stone, assisted by Reece Hawthorne, skated in from center ice and flipped it past goalie Devin Trembley, and Lawrence made it 10-5 with a solid wrist shot. Lawrence (3+1), Reece Schroeder (2), Dickinson (2), Moss and Stone (shorthanded) handled the Cougars’ offence versus Winfield. Goalie Isaac Waldemaras fed Schroeder for a breakaway goal. In Midget play, the Stars, sponsored by Irly Bird Building Centres Lumby and R.J. Schunter Contracting, grounded the Talon Benefits Winterhawks 11-3 Saturday at Priest Valley Arena. Wyatt Warnes (4+1), Kyle Weston (2+2), Logan Meier (2+1), Jayden Pedersen, Kyle Beerstra and Spencer
O’Neil provided goals for Lumby, while Rowyn Lewis-Hatherley (2) and Brian Ferguson countered for the Winterhawks. Jarrett Miller earned two helpers for the Stars. Forward Kristian Currie went top shelf with 2:11 remaining as the Vernon Authentic Trophy & Plaque Auto Bots edged the Winterhawks 5-4 Sunday night at Civic Arena. Currie and Jene Desjarlais each had two goals for the Auto Bots, Brock Wagner adding 1+2 in support of Jared Larsen and Rowan Wood. Isaiah Wenger also earned two assists. Bryton Stead (2), Brennan Seltzer and Bryce Pyle replied for Talon Benefits. Desjarlais completed his hat trick with 64 seconds left Saturday as the Auto Bots tied the Knights 3-3 at Enderby Arena. Levi Power scored
twice for the Knights. Adam Fenske pulled the hat trick as the Vernon Seed Orchard Ducks iced Blackburn Excavating 6-3 Saturday in Salmon Arm. Austin Bosquet, Brooke Toop and Chris Gallant added singles for the Ducks. D-man Jeff Hiscoe rung up two helpers. The Vernon Summit Financial Lakers (Atom/ Pee Wee) girls lost 15-2 to Winfield boys, but still had a blast. Josey Nerling had a goal and an assist and was rewarded with the gold jersey. Shelby Richard had a goal and Sarah Claeys had an assist. Enforcer Robyn Alexis had the lone penalty of the game, while Freyja Hale-Pearson was great in the face-off circle and, as usual, last week’s gold-jersey winner – Emily Branter – faced a barrage of shots and registered some fabulous saves.
The Fulton Maroons placed third in the 20-team MEI Eagles Invitational Junior Boys Volleyball tournament last weekend in Clearbrook, falling to the defending B.C. champion Eagles in the semifinals Saturday afternoon. “We did not have a solid weekend,” said head coach Richard Bedard. “We lost a game Friday night we shouldn’t have, and that put us into the same bracket side as MEI. We really shouldn’t be complaining, but we have high expectations for this crew. Our rookie Landon Currie was a really solid player for us in that match, but the rest of the team struggled. We are a true team I guess.” In power pool play, Fulton stopped Elgin Park Orcas of Surrey 25-18, 25-12, lost the split by one with Langley Fundamental 16-25, 25-17 and won the split against Langley Christian Lightning 25-12, 27-25. They then lost 25-18, 25-23 to the Eagles. In the final 16, the Maroons swept the MEI B team 25-12, 25-16 and then bounced Elgin Park again in the quarters, 25-11, 25-14. The Maroons host North Zone playoffs next Thursday. Fulton senior girls swept the George Elliot Coyotes 3-0 (25-8, 25-12, 25-18) Tuesday night to finish North Zone AA league play at 4-2. The North Zone playoffs go next Thursday at Kalamalka Secondary. Shaina Banta recorded six stuff blocks and four kills from the middle, while Nazarena Wurz recorded 18 kills from power. Erin Sakamoto was in the zone with marvellous passing to start the attack. The AA Maroons open their eight-team invitational today at 1:45 p.m. against the Merritt Panthers and then battle the 4A Prince George Polar Bears at 4:15 and the AA Sa-Hali Sabres of Kamloops at 8 p.m. Play resumes Saturday at 9 a.m. with the semifinals at 12:45 p.m. and the final at 2 p.m. The AAA VSS Panthers tangle with AA Kal Lakers today at 1:45 and then meet the Princess Margaret Mustangs of Penticton at 5:30 and face the Westsyde Whundas of Kamloops at 6:45. Meanwhile, the VSS senior boys Panthers won the consolation side of the Thompson Rivers Wolfpack Invitational in Kamloops. Senior player Taylor McKnight joined the shortstaffed Cats and proved to be a great addition to the Fab Five seniors, providing great serves, hits and energy. Grade 8 Brody Watts was summonded and held his own with the big boys. Shelby Hartwig, Brayden Damini and Carson Labrecque recorded some great hits thanks to setter Nolan Wiens. In Saturday consolation play, VSS swept George Elliot 25-21, 26-24, iced South Okanagan Hornets 25-14, 25-10 and then grounded Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops 25-20, 25-16. Seniors Jason Reich and Wiens provided steller defence and Hartwig and Damini earned much -deserved tournament MVP awards.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) The things you do for others will make a big difference. Call in favors and discuss plans that include adventure, excitement and travel. You will obtain valuable information and firm up future plans. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will master something that you’ve been working on. Expect to receive the go-ahead for a project. Travel will lead to unexpected delays and an emotionally fraught situation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Listen to what people are telling you and follow rules or directions explicitly. With a couple of last-minute changes, you will please someone who is counting on you. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Don’t stop or look back. Take what you know and make it work for you. You’ll leave a good impression on others, and your uncanny timing will make others take note. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Erratic behavior and emotional outbursts can be expected if you fail to rein in your spending. Beware of extravagance and keep life simple. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Do whatever it takes to improve an important relationship. Taking a small vacation or making enlivening changes to your home will help. Focus on small things that bring great enjoyment. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Do something that interests you today. Meeting people and sharing stories and ideas will
give you a boost and help you turn an uncertain situation around. Make your move and stick to it. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Socialize, entertain and plan to do something exciting. Taking part in a new experience will bring you joy and encourage you to take positive action to improve your life. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You should pay attention to romance, love and domestic harmony today. A change may be required, and you’ll have the courage to make it. Confidence will be called for, so make sure you have it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Take a trip to a place that inspires you. Mingling with people you can learn from will lead to an interesting destination. You can make a difference and find a solution. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You may have to give up one thing in order to get another. Base your decision on end results, not immediate gratification. A trendy new look will attract compliments.
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.

Bridge by Phillip Alder WITH TWO CHANCES, TRY THEM BOTH Mark Twain said, “Necessity is the mother of taking chances.” At the bridge table, the more chances you have to make your contract, the better. In today’s deal, South ended in five clubs. West led the heart two. East won with the queen and, with nothing better to do, continued with the heart ace. After ruffing, what should South have done? North suffered greatly on the second round of the auction. After opening one diamond, hearing East overcall one heart, and having partner respond two clubs, what could he do? Nothing was perfect.
Eventually, he chose three clubs as the least evil. Then South cue-bid three hearts, asking his partner to bid three no-trump with a heart stopper. When North could not, South settled into five clubs. South started with 10 top tricks: two spades, one diamond and seven clubs. He needed either a third spade or second diamond. Declarer initially wondered if either finesse would work, but then he saw he had a better line of play. South drew trumps, then maximized his chance for three spade tricks by playing a spade to dummy’s ace and leading a spade to his king. When the queen appeared, he was playing for an overtrick. But if East had
turned up with queen-fourth of spades, South would have still had the diamond finesse on the back burner. The bidding does affect the odds here, but that is hard to quantify. A priori, one of two finesses will work 76 percent of the time. The recommended play comes in at 88.5 percent.

A simple test can ensure winter driving safety tom fletcher Black Press
Some “all season”
tires are good enough for winter roads in B.C., but not all of them.
That’s one reason why Transportation Minister Todd Stone has
added the topic of tires to a provincial review of highway safety that includes speed limits. “It’s been almost 40 years since the current definition of a winter tire was actually changed, and tire technology has advanced dramatically, particularly over the last five to 10 years,” Stone said Tuesday. With the popularity of all-season tires and all-wheel-drive vehicles, Stone said there is some confusion about what is acceptable for requirements that took effect Oct. 1 on routes that have winter conditions. Those routes have signs advising drivers to use winter tires or carry chains, and police may turn drivers away if they are not properly equipped. True winter tires have a symbol of a mountain and snowflake on the sidewall. All-season tires with the “M+S” mark to indicate traction in mud and snow are also permissible,LB but all tires must

for winter conditions. Drivers have a choice of investing in new tires or buying a set of chains. The transportation ministry has a website at www.th.gov.bc.ca/ SeasonalDriving/winter_chains.html that includes maps of routes affected by winter restrictions, and tips on how to use tire chains. Stone said that with 60 per cent of B.C. residents living in areas where winter conditions are not common, he is not considering making winter tires mandatory for all vehicles.

Government reviews liquor sales tom fletcher
Black Press
The B.C. government’s liquor policy review has heard a “loud and clear” message that people want the convenience of buying alcoholic beverages in grocery stores, says the MLA in charge of the review. With a three-month consultation period ending Oct. 31, Richmond Steveston MLA John Yap said Tuesday that about 80 per cent of respondents want the extra convenience that is routine in U.S. grocery stores. But Yap is proposing
John Yap a less convenient model, a “store within a store” that would have separate space and staff for alcohol purchases. He said the number of outlets could be restricted to the current level, with some existing private or public liquor stores moved into grocery stores.
The Liquor Control Board of Ontario has announced a similar pilot project, with 10 “express” stores to offer limited selection inside or next to grocery stores. Nova Scotia also has government liquor stores located in grocery stores. When the B.C. consultation began in September, Yap noted that beer, wine and spirits are already sold in rural grocery stores. He was critical of the U.S. model, saying it could lead to increased health and safety issues from increased consumption, as well as law enforce-
ment problems. B.C.’s medical health officers have called for a freeze or reduction to the number of private retailers, a $3 minimum price for bar drinks and higher prices for drinks with more alcohol content to deter over-consumption. The Alliance of Beverage Licencees, representing pubs, bars and private liquor stores in B.C., isn’t happy with the idea. ABLE BC executive director Ian Baillie said the province already has more than 1,400 government and private liquor stores. “The government
OKIB gets funding for energy project The Okanagan Indian Band will benefit from the most recent round of funding under the First Nations Clean Energy Business Fund (FNCEBF). The Okanagan Indian Band is receiving $30,000 in funding to support a Community Energy Plan and Clean Energy Opportunities Assessment Project. Funding will be used to undertake a community energy plan within the Okanagan Indian Band’s Traditional Territory. The plan will assess solar, wind, biomass and hydropower within the reserve and traditional territory as well as energy-saving opportunities. “It is wonderful to see this funding going to support the Okanagan Indian Band in their creation of a Community Energy Plan and commitment to an environmentally sustainable energy future,” said Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster. “This funding will provide important opportunities to use traditional territory and the Okanagan Indian Band reservation in a sustainable way.” Since 2011, the provincial government has invested more than $5.1 million to support clean energy opportunities in over 80 Aboriginal communities across B.C., including wind energy, biomass and run-of-river hydroelectric power. Clean-energy technology is one of the fastest
growing industries in B.C., with more than 200 organizations, 68 per cent of which were formed in the past decade.

Question
Rounding up and riding the RAM range 2014 RAM Roundup The full-size truck market is big business for automakers and a big deal for the businesses and people who depend on them. For almost five decades the Ford F-150 has been the best selling truck, with little chance they will lose that crown in the near future. What has been happening, over the last few years, is a strong shift from General Motors to RAM in terms of establishing the second best selling truck brand. The rise in RAM popularity can be traced back to a few key changes over the last several years, from muscular styling to class-leading interiors, a refined ride, plus engine and
transmission advancements. While GM was selling the same trucks year after year, RAM moved forward and has been rewarded handsomely. GM too has recently released all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks but the initial sales response has been rather lacklustre. I drove the 2014 RAM model range recently, on a beautiful fall day, just outside of Toronto. The “RAM Roundup” was a great opportunity to get my hands on these new trucks well before they arrive at BC dealerships. Looks A big part of the RAM brand success has been built on the sturdy

shooting for the Perfect Drive reminded me of another openwheel racer. Back in the early 1990s, Vancouver Indy racer Ross Bentley strived for what he called the ‘Perfect Drive’, not on the track but on the roads of B.C. Ross, now coaching race drivers and street drivers in Washington state, always told me that he found the racetrack a safer place to drive. On the track he pretty much knew what other drivers were going to do, whereas drivers on the street were very unpredictable. Ross Bentley coaching upcoming young US racer Colin Braun. And I was reminded of that the other morning when a young driver whizzed by me in the curb I keep hearing TV F1 commentary teams talking lane, then cut in front and crossed two more lanes about the perfect race in relation to the now fourto turn left at an intersection just a block ahead. Of time world champion Sebastian Vettel. course, he didn’t signal when he got there either! As I watched the German driver for Infiniti-Red Ross devised a little game that he played every day Bull race team take the chequered flag in India on while travelling to and from work across town. The Sunday, the repeated reference to his perfect race
Perfect Drive Concept was designed to help drivers concentrate and I can’t help it would a great game for us all to play some 20 years on from when he first outlined the idea to me. “The idea is to drive smoothly at a constant speed with minimal braking,” explains Ross, who tells me he still tries to achieve the Perfect Drive daily. “To do so, you must anticipate light changes and ease off when you approach a stale green. You have to slow in such a way that if your passengers had their eyes closed they wouldn’t be aware of the exact point you stopped.” Keeping a healthy distance between your car and the one you are following is key. Others do cut into the space but they disappear as fast as they arrive. And even if you ease off to open it up the gap again, Ross figured if even 10 cars did that to you and stayed during the average trip you might lose a minute in travel time. “The Perfect Drive can be ruined by others so I try to figure out what crazy things they might do and adjust accordingly. If I have to brake jerkily in anticipation of the other driver’s move, I don’t deduct any points!”

What women want when car Shopping
W
omen are a huge driving force (pardon the pun) in the car-buying world. Looks are great Studies show that but it is the safety around 60 per cent features women are of new vehicles purchases are made after. by women. Further to that, matriarchs heavAlexandra Straub ily influence decisions on car buying within the family, too – perhaps as much as 85 percent of all purchases. While many hubbies would love a hot, little sports car, perhaps it’s not always ideal for, you know, life. Buying a vehicle is considered to be the second biggest purchase someone can make. The first is your home. So when someone says it’s not that big of a deal, it kind of is. Not only is it a long-term decision, but a financially significant one as well. It can also bring up many emotions: excitement, stress, anxiety and more. Leading up to the 2013 Vancouver International Auto Show, I had the privilege of assisting six women with their new car purchases. They gave me a budget and a list of “needs and wants” and then we went to the drawing board. The experience opened my eyes to a few things.
‘‘
’’
Though each of the women were looking for something different from each other, there were common threads that presented themselves. Here are a few of the top things I observed.
Price Budgets are very important to everyone. And sticking to it was even more important for the women I worked with. Yes, there are always temptations to get a few extra bells and whistles, and if you can work it into your bottom line, that’s ideal. But the navigation package or premium sound system wasn’t a must-have.
Warranties Additional warranties were paramount. For those not leasing and swapping vehicles every four years, having the extra bit of protection from wear and tear was something they wanted to accommodate in their budgets, especially those who drive frequently.
safety Looks are great but it is the safety features women are after. There’s a lot of technology out there. Sometimes it is even overwhelming. But things like airbags, ABS, traction control and even backup cameras (for the larger vehicles) were high on the priority list.
interior caPacity/hatch Cargo volume is subjective in the sense where not everyone needs as much as the other. But when it
was in the top three of “needs” sometimes thinking outside of the box was necessary. Sacrificing looks for functionality, again, is something that often happens. That said, it is not always the case, and with designs of vehicles these days, it is getting easier to have your cake and eat it too.
comfort in the car buying Process The dealership experience plays a huge role in having that brand new vehicle sparkling on your driveway. In fact, you can’t really avoid it unless you’re buying through a private sale. There’s still a stigma associated with car salespeople. Some say that as a woman, walking into a dealership has an automatic disadvantage. That’s changing. Most dealerships have Maureen McCall looks up the specs on various vehicles female sales staff on the floor in case you’re at the Vancouver International Auto Show. more comfortable in that environment. photo: AlexAndrA StrAub No matter how good the product, if there’s discomfort or pressure in the buying process, sistance, email me and you could be featured can sour the sale. in Driveway.

RAM is rugged for work and luxurious for play continued from page B1
(Ford is looking dated but look for an all-new F-150 in 2015). The centre console can be equipped with an 8.3-inch Uconnect communications and entertainment screen. In addition, there is a large 7-inch screen behind the steering wheel for fully customizable instant information readouts. The dash and seats can be trimmed in leather typically found in luxury cars not long ago. What many RAM buyers might find different is the rotary dial on the dash that changes the 8-speed automatic transmission, 6-speed automatics still get the centre console shifter. This is something that started recently in high-end cars like Jaguar and Range Rover but is now found in RAM. It takes about a day to adjust to the new shift position but after a while the driver forgets.
Drive The biggest change for 2014 includes the first die-
sel engine found in a light duty 1500 pickup truck. This is an Italian designed engine that has been used extensively in Europe in Jeep products like the Grand Cherokee. With 420 lb.-ft. or torque, this new “EcoDiesel” has the same output as Ford’s Ecoboost but not the same towing capacity. Rated at 9200 lbs. this truck will be perfect for buyers who want impressive fuel economy and good towing capacity; a balance of usability and thriftiness. This engine has not been rated yet for fuel economy but thanks to a standard 8-speed automatic transmission; this new EcoDiesel is going to get better numbers than the already class-leading gasoline V6 RAM. Look for the new EcoDiesel RAMs arriving in January of 2014. On the heavy duty side there is also an all-new engine in the form of a 6.4L Hemi V8. The old 5.7L was not a perfect match for gasoline truck buyers but RAM hopes this 429 lb.-ft.
engine will attract more buyers.
verDict As competitive as the car business is, the truck side is nuclear. Truck buyers take their trucks very seriously and the people building them do too. It takes dynamite to get a loyal truck owner to change brands but RAM has done a good job of blasting the competition. Most of this success has been thanks to constant improvements instead of waiting years to update their rigs. With a new diesel engine in the 1500 to an all-new gasoline engine in the heavy-duty trucks, matched to sophisticated transmissions, improved suspensions and cabins, it is no wonder why RAM is on an upward swing.
the Lowdown Power: 3.6L V6, 3.0L V6 turbo diesel, 5.7L V8. 6.4L V8 and 6.7L diesel Price range: $19,995-$36,495 base prices. The diesel option adds around $4,500

It isn’t about what a Corolla does, it’s about what a Corolla doesn’t do – stop working. In fact, Corolla could be a substitute for the word ‘durable’ in the dictionary. While the competition has certainly made great strides to improved product quality, Corolla is still the benchmark and consumer confidence in this compact car is reflected in used prices. Ironically, from a used car buyer perspective, it may also be its biggest drawback ...

good luck with finding a good used Toyota Corolla at a bargain price. The 2009 Corolla came in CE, S, LE
and XRS trim levels. The highline Corolla LE (originally $21,495) added power windows and locks, climate control air conditioning, a 4-speed automatic transmission, a wood-grain interior trim package, a push-button keyless start system and more. Most Corolla models come with a 1.8-litre (132-horsepower) engine and the base versions came with a smooth-shifting five-speed manual with a light, easy to operate clutch. A four speed automatic was the optional transmission and fuel economy is excellent, with a 7.5/5.6 L/100 km city/highway rating. The sporty Corolla XRS (originally

$21,925) offered a bigger engine, better brakes and tires plus other stuff. Powered by a 2.4-litre (158-horsepower) engine it came with 17-inch tires on alloy wheels, electronic stability control, traction control, rear disc brakes and a strut tower brace. It was also the only version with a 5-speed automatic option. On the inside, this Corolla is roomier than the previous generation, with more shoulder room, legroom and trunk storage space. A tilt/telescoping steering column was standard on all trim levels and it came with two glove boxes, as seemingly past owners had complained about a lack of cabin storage space. Almost all Corolla models come with the same safety features, which includes six airbags and the front seats come with active head restraints. An anti-lock brake system is also standard, but only the XRS trim has electronic stability control and traction control. Stability control was included as standard on S and LE trim levels and op-

Students Take a Bite of B.C. Students learn why farms and agriculture play such an important role in society
Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff
From fresh cranberries in October, to crimini mushrooms in November, there is no shortage of B.C.-grown and raised products just waiting to be enjoyed. And thanks to the Take a Bite of B.C. program, students at Vernon and Fulton secondary schools are able to enjoy all that farmers have to offer. The program is part of the B.C. Agriculture in the Classroom Foundation (BCAITC), a non-profit organization that works with educators through various programs to bring B.C.’s agriculture to students enrolled in culinary arts programs throughout the province. “Students learn about where their food comes from, how to grow their own food, and why farms and agriculture play such an important role in our society,” said Michelle Fripps, program coordinator-logistics. Take a Bite of B.C. is one of several programs run by the BCAITC and was developed in partnership with the B.C. Culinary Arts Association, B.C. agricultural commodity groups and B.C. producers. BC. grown products are donated by suppliers to the program and delivered to participating school teaching kitchens once a month throughout the school year.

The Take a Bite of B.C. program was launched in 2009 in 14 schools. There are currently 28 secondary schools participating, with the program expanding this year to include four Okanagan schools. All products are donated by the farmers to enhance the culinary students’ learning experience by enabling them to work with fresh local products and providing awareness about where their food is grown. “The farmers see the benefits of the students in the culinary arts program who benefit. The program keeps it close to home because if there are no farmers, there’s no food,” said Fripps, who credits Metro Vancouver for providing funding to ship the produce to the schools. “The kids get to try something new, like the Ramiro Hot Peppers or the Crescensco Grill Peppers.” Next up will be a shipment of rutabagas and turnips and no, said Fripps, they are not

School Fruit and Vegetable Nutritional Program delivers fresh, local fruit and vegetable snacks to more than half a million students in B.C. More than 1,400 schools participate in the program, funded by the B.C. Ministry of Health. “So students learn what’s grown in B.C. and that it tastes good, and it’s amazing what students learn — I have had students who have never tasted a plum before,” said Fripps. “I remember as a kid growing up on the Coast that we were always really excited when the Okanagan cherries arrived, but
many kids today are unaware of where their food is grown. There is a disconnect where once many of us had grandfathers and great-grandfathers who had come from the farm. “The fruit and veg program got them engaged at an early age and we are now getting them excited about mushrooms, chickens and cheese. The teachers are inspiring the student, putting the foods in the hands of the students.” And it all comes back to eating locally as much as possible. “It’s a shorter period of time from picking to eating, as these are not varieties that were developed for transport, so the flavours are better.”

You must tell the child, “Sorry, but your parents said you aren’t allowed to have that.” Of course, it would be a kindness to serve something that all the kids can eat, and it’s not as complicated as you might think. Ask the parents for assistance. And if you cannot accommodate the child’s requirements, please inform the parents ahead of time. They may prefer to pack him his own food or not send him.

It is not my fault that you lost your job, your marriage is failing, your car broke down or your dog died. I am sympathetic, but don’t take it out on me. I agree that customer service is becoming a thing of the past. But, dear customer, take a look at yourself, as well. Would you want to be treated the way you have treated me?

Writing isn’t on the wall for Deathtrap Powerhouse Theatre brings the longest running thriller-comedy on Broadway to local the stage Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
American playwright Ira Levin is known as the Stephen King of the ‘60s and ‘70s. The author of Rosemary’s Baby, Sliver, A Kiss Before Dying, The Stepford Wives and The Boys from Brazil, many of Levin’s stories have been turned into films and are often screened this time of year. They have that spooky element as the trees and sky start to lose colour. So it’s apt that Vernon’s Powerhouse Theatre is opening its 50th anniversary season with Levin’s most notorious play, Deathtrap. One of the longest-running, non-musical plays to appear on Broadway, this 1978 play-within-aplay takes a number of twisty turns, none of which Powerhouse director Jackson Mace, who also stars as lead character Sidney Bruhl, wants to divulge in the pages of this newspaper. And who can blame him? The element of surprise is just what has made Levin’s thriller-comedy (yep, comedy, you read that right) the success that it is. “There’s some sensitive parts of the show that should not be spoiled,” said Mace. “(The story) is like an onion. The more we dig through the script, the more we

Jackson mace as sidney Bruhl, Jennifer Goodsell as myra Bruhl, and robert Hillier as Clifford anderson discuss a “collaboration” on Clifford’s new thriller Deathtrap. uncover. It’s a tribute to Levin that you see something new every time you read it... As we work through the script, as a cast we discover its nuances. It’s great writing.” Although Deathtrap holds few plot similarities to the film Ghost, Mace references the 1990 film as the emotions it evokes are similar to that experienced while bringing Levin’s script to life. And the play also features a psychic, but instead of Whoopi Goldberg’s Oda Mae, it’s a Dutch woman named Helga ten Dorp (played here by Sybolla Frange, who was last seen in Becky’s New Car at Powerhouse.) “This doesn’t make you cry,
but there are some chuckles and some scenes that could scare you... It’s also a different show than The Women In Black (which Powerhouse staged in 2012) in that it’s more commercial,” said Mace. What Mace can tell you is the similarities that his character, Sidney Bruhl, has to Levin. Both are playwrights with great success. However, in Bruhl’s case it is with his hit mystery, The Murder Game. However, after that play, Bruhl undergoes a long dry spell with only a few minor hits. “His last four plays flop. That’s what he calls himself ‘Sidney FourFlops Bruhl,’” said Mace.
After he receives a play in the mail from a young, promising student, Clifford Anderson (played by newcomer to the stage Robert Hillier, who is a graphic designer and has contributed his skills to the posters used on the set), Bruhl believes he has a hit on his hands. It’s then that he and his hyperventilating wife, Myra (played by Powerhouse newcomer Jennifer Goodsell, who has acted in theatre in England), have a dilemma about what to do about it. “She gets anxious as events unfold and would like to have a collaboration. He has darker thoughts,” said Jackson, giving this
one hint: “Somebody may die.” Enter Helga, who believes she is one person who can figure this whole thing out before the play concludes, and Sidney’s lawyer, Porter Milgrim (played by Doug Fairweather, who last appeared as Franklin Delano Roosevelt in Annie at Powerhouse), who tries to help Sidney uncover the “truth.” Mace is particularly excited about the set, which shows the inside of a Colonial-style house, carefully designed by Okanagan Zone Drama award winner Eugene Leveque “He has created a model for our set that even includes miniature posters of other murder mysteries that Powerhouse has done. The details are amazing,” said Mace, adding Powerhouse has previously produced plays, such as Dial M for Murder, that are eluded to in Deathtrap. Powerhouse has also taken artistic license by changing the name of Bruhl’s typewriter, Zenobia, to Agatha, in a tribute to great mystery writer Agatha Christie. “Levin mentions some of her plays in the script and also tributes Hitchcock,” said Mace. Award-winning team Bob Oldfield and Jessika LaFramboise are on sound and light, respectively, along with technical producer Cara Nunn. Powerhouse president Sarah McLean is helping co-direct the play while Mace is on stage. “The goal of the production is to have people leave the theatre thoroughly entertained,” said Mace. “We hope they will be buzzing.” Deathtrap opens at Powerhouse Wednesday and runs at the new time of 7:30 p.m. to Nov. 9 and Nov. 12 to 16. Matinees are Nov. 10 and 16 at 2 p.m. Tickets are at the Ticket Seller, 549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.
Rolling Stones film, Sweet Summer Sun: Hyde Park Live to screen in Vernon Cineplex Entertainment, via Front Row Centre Events and Eagle Rock Entertainment, bring the theatrical release of The Rolling Stones’ Sweet Summer Sun: Hyde Park Live, which makes its Canadian premiere, including at Vernon’s Galaxy Cinemas, for one night only Monday. The two-hour live concert film chronicles The Stones’ historic and triumphant return to
London’s Hyde Park. In July, more than 100,000 ecstatic fans packed into Hyde Park for two spectacular outdoor concerts to see Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood do what they do best. “It was a great gig,” said Jagger. “It was beautiful with the sun going down over Hyde Park. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate The
Rolling Stones’ 50th than doing it on our home patch in front of 100,000 people on a glorious summer night.” Augmenting the lineup were The Stones’ long-term live touring band members and an appearance by former guitarist Mick Taylor, who joined the band on stage to play Midnight Rambler and Satisfaction. The Stones also delivered five star perfor-
mances of their hits Start Me Up, Brown Sugar, Jumpin’ Jack Flash, Miss You, It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll, Gimme Shelter, Doom and Gloom, Sympathy for the Devil and many others that had both fans and critics singing their praises. Stones’ fans can see for themselves when the film screens Monday at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10, available at the box office or online at cineplex.com.

Get the beat on Vernon dubstep producer Morning Star Staff
The whomping, grimy bass beats of dubstep have graced nightclub dance floors from the U.K. to all over the world. And the Okanagan is not exempt from its heavy sound. One music producer/DJ who is making a name for himself within the dubstep community is Vernon’s Ecklipze (aka Kyle English.) Having thrown down a big Halloween show at Monashee’s Bar and Grill last night, Ecklipze will be hitting the decks again tonight and the party includes a number of other local producers and hip hop artists. As a musician and composer, Ecklipze creates electronic dance music (EDM) said to create a feeling of triumph or celebration through well-crafted arrangements and inspiring chord progressions.

music in the studio, he continues to be active in the local music scene. His first single for Chicagobased EDM label, Trenchant Dubs, was released a year ago. Entitled Breathe, the song received exposure after being used as the soundtrack to an ad campaign for Forever 21 clothing, and reached more than seven million people worldwide. The track was also recently
used on the televised U.S. dance competition, So You Think You Can Dance. Both Breathe and another single, Bullet, were included on the Dubstep and Bass Music compilation released on Hypnotic and Cleopatra Records in L.A. Ecklipze’s most recent recording, The Purge E.P., is a unique blend of various styles of electronic music ranging from dubstep to trap, and even includes hints of hip-hop and drum ‘n bass. He has also been recruited by his publisher, Black Market Noise (BMI), to become a full-time member of a recently formed band called Neon Black, which features members of American alternative rock band Madina Lake. Ecklipze will be joined by DJ Bis, H20, BRI3, and hip hop artist NOX tonight at Monashee’s. Doors open at 10 p.m. and cover is free.
Simon goes beyond Graceland
t’s interesting to hear where Paul Simon has ended up in a seemingly happy place that’s sunnier than his serious beginning with folk-rock super group Simon and Garfunkel. The new Simon retrospective, A Bridge Over Time, is a neat, logical chronicling of his career. Given the abundance of material and choices, Simon and his compilers chose wisely. There’s only a couple of Dean Gordon-Smith exceptions to this. The exclusion of Simon’s reworking of Scarborough Fair and the majestic title track of Graceland. His work is broken down in three periods here:

Simon and Garfunkel, his early solo work and post Graceland music. The early misconception of Simon as a “folkie” stems from the S&G years, but as this and other recordings suggest, pure folk songs are in short supply. Sounds of Silence starts the compilation. It’s a stunner of a track in all its rough beauty. The grandiosity of Bridge Over Troubled Water is then revealed as essentially a Garfunkel solo vocal song that’s written by Simon. These heights weren’t reached again by Simon until his Graceland period and never have been in the effette solo efforts of Garfunkel. Simon’s early solo work is effectively recaptured. The highlights here are Mother and Child Reunion and 50 Ways to Leave your Lover. The former tune, a soulful reggae song, is a continuation of Simon’s fascination with “world” music. The latter track is a goofy and clever display of his particular gift for wedging conversational wordplay into a tune. The build up to the Graceland period can be heard in Late in the Evening, a skittery, horn and percussion-driven song with a jumpy hook. Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes and You Can Call Me Al then summon the exuberant spirit and shining ambiance of the Graceland album. These, in turn, lead to the travelogue songs that suggest movement and wilderness, that emerge in late period songs like Spirit Voice and That’s Where I Belong. These album enders are transparently personal. They may lack the monumental impact of the early Simon and Garfunkel work but they retain integrity. It’s quality music.

Film could use a little counselling
T
Friday, November 1, 2013 - The Morning Star B11
20th Century Fox
The Counselor
he counselor (played by Michael Fassbender) is a successful lawyer about to embark into a shady deal with dangerous people. His “business partner,” Reiner (Javier Bardem), is reluctant to let the counselor in on the deal to move $20 million worth of illegal drugs smuggled into the U.S. via a Mexican sewage truck. Reiner’s reservations are shared by another partner, Westray (Brad Pitt), and both men try very hard to make the counselor understand the gravity of his undertaking and warn him repeatedly of the types of nasty things that can or will happen, should something go wrong. Despite all this advice, the counselor moves forward with the deal, risking himself and his new wife, Laura (Penelope Cruz). When Reiner’s girlfriend, Malkina (Cameron Diaz), begins drafting a scheme of her own, everything falls apart and the worst case scenario comes to fruition. We say, “The Counselor is a little verbose.” TAYLOR: I went into this one blind. I hadn’t seen a preview or heard anything about the film, other

Reel Reviews
Taylor and Howe
than it was directed by Ridley Scott. By the end of the credits I had noted that Cormac McCarthy (The Road, No Country for Old Men) had written it, so it was likely to be rich and dark, which it is. By the end of the first scene, which has Fassbender and Cruz in bed, I knew we were in for something serious, maybe even a bit pretentious, which it also is. However, what The Counselor loses in its lyrical novelistic convolution it makes up for in blunt plot points. This is a unique film that dazzles you with intelligent, poetic soliloquy, (or baffles you). Then, just when you have no idea what’s going on, it bonks you on the back of the head and throws you in a vat of acid, but not before exclaiming: “I told you this was going to happen.” HOWE: It certainly baffled me. Even now, trying to think who doubled crossed who or who this or that guy was working for, still baffles me. With all the tal-
ent that Scott had at his disposal I would have expected a little bit better acting. Pitt rehashed his smooth, mysterious character from Killing them Softly; Cruz just witters on for the 19 minutes or so that she’s in it, and please don’t get me started on Diaz. Who on this planet thought that making a thriller/ drama with her as the main female character was a good idea? I’ve seen better acting from the mannequins at the local mall. TAYLOR: I didn’t have a problem with any performer, or any particular aspect of the film. The Counselor is just one of those blunt, dark films that makes you uncomfortable because the characters inhabit a disturbing world that happens to be based on reality. But just like with No Country for Old Men, I feel like I missed something. So is it me, or the film? — Taylor gives The Counselor 2.5 bad decisions out of 5. — Howe gives it 1.5 Ferrari windscreens out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

in Beijing, but will travel to Japan and Korea to meet regularly with officials working for B.C.’s international trade ministry. Stewart said his experience promoting the wine industry in Asia will help him in the job. Clark emphasized Stewart’s experience as an MLA and cabinet minister, which she said gives him quick access to her and other cabinet ministers. “We need a representative in Asia who is known to have access to power and government here in British Columbia,” Clark said. “That is a critical part of doing successful business in Asia.” Stewart, owner of Quail’s Gate winery, stepped down shortly after winning re-election in Westside-Kelowna in

May so Clark could run in a by-election in July. He will be paid $150,000 to serve in the Asia trade role, which is about the same salary he received as a cabinet minister before he was demoted to the backbench when Clark was selected as B.C. Liberal leader. The cabinet order appointing him allows the salary to increase to $170,000. NDP international trade critic Bruce Ralston said B.C. has two dozen staffers in their Asian trade offices, with senior people who speak the local languages and are more qualified than Stewart. “There isn’t a provincial senate, so I guess this is the next best thing,” Ralston said. Stewart said he worked on trade issues in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan as well as Europe and Latin America, trying to open markets for the B.C. wine industry. That experience taught him “how difficult it is to establish relationships from afar,” he said. The announcement comes as Clark prepares for her own trade mission to Asia in late November, following similar tours by Forests Minister Steve Thomson and Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman.

News Government working on apology Morning Star Staff
The B.C. government has announced a consultation process will begin to discuss the wording for a formal apology to B.C.’s Chinese community for historical wrongs. The Chinese community in British Columbia suffered legislated inequality and discrimination between 1885 and 1923 when multiple forms of discriminatory legislation were imposed, including the Chinese Immigration Act and again in 1923 to 1947 when Chinese individuals were restricted from entering Canada under the Chinese Exclusion Act. Over the coming months, Minister of International Trade and Minister Responsible for the Asia Pacific Strategy and Multiculturalism Teresa Wat will travel to communities and engage with Chinese community associations and citizens to identify wording for a formal apology. Wat will engage all members of the legislature to provide input and work towards a formal apology which all parties of the House can support. “A formal apology must be done properly, with meaningful dialogue and most importantly, in a
respectful and collaborative manner,” said Wat. “I look forward to facilitating this process and identifying wording that the community respects.” The input received at the consultations forums will guide the wording of a formal apology. In the next sitting of the legislature, the government plans to introduce a motion regarding a formal apology to British Columbia’s Chinese community for historical wrongs. “The Chinese Canadian Military Museum Society applauds the B.C. government’s initiative to consult with the Chinese-Canadian community to review ways and a meaningful way to effectively convey an appropriate apology to those whose families have suffered through wrongful treatment in B.C.’s history,” said King R. Wan, president of the Chinese Canadian Military Museum Society. The B.C. government believes that a rich multicultural society helps nurture acceptance, understanding and mutual respect. Cultural diversity, increased participation and engagement by all cultures are vitally important to create a strong and vibrant social and economic future for British Columbia.

When I am gone, release me, let me go I have so many things to see and do You must not tie yourself to me with tears Be happy that I have had so many years. I gave to you my love, you can only guess How much you gave me in happiness I thank you for the love you each have shown But now it’s time I travelled on alone. So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must Then let your grief be comforted by trust It is only for a while that we must part So bless the memories within your heart. I will not be far away, for life goes on So if you need me, call and I will come Though you cannot see me or touch me, I will be near And if you listen with your heart, you will hear All of my love around you soft and clear. Then when you must come this way alone I will greet you with a smile and welcome you home. Cremation arrangements were made with BETHEL FUNERAL CHAPEL LTD., 5605-27th Street, Vernon, B.C.

Following completion of Agricultural College he married and in 1956 immigrated to Canada, landing in Halifax and then travelled by train to Grand Forks, B.C. where his childhood friend, Piet De Haan, had found a sponsor who hired Art for farm labor for a vegetable grower.

We little knew that day, God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death, we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you. You did not go alone. For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide. And although we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.
Gone yet not forgotten Although we are apart Your spirit lives within me Forever in my heart Your loving sister Kirstie and family We love you and miss you with every beat of our hearts Always and forever Taylor
