Support for extending the runway at Vernon Regional Airport is taking flight. While city staff had recommended not extending the runway, a majority of council voted Monday to further investigate lengthening the runway from 3,500 to 4,000 feet at a cost of $7.2 million. “If we don’t do the runway extension and lose some business, what will the impact be?” said Coun. Catherine Lord of local corporations that use the airport. “Our airport is an economic driver and creates a lot of jobs. It (extension) Catherine Lord could be a large driver.” Coun. Scott Anderson is concerned not having a sufficient runway will prevent new companies from moving to Vernon. “Every community cries for high-tech and green jobs and we have to put that infrastructure in place,” he said. However, staff has previously stated that only marginal increases in economic activity would come from a longer runway and the current length meets the needs of 97 per cent of aircraft movements. Another issue that has been raised is noise. “There are a lot of houses and development there,” said Coun. Dalvir Nahal. As part of the process, a committee will review the option of extending the runway, including potential economic benefits. Discussions will be held with corporations that use the airport. “We haven’t explored this as aggressively as we need to,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham. Transport Canada has dictated that any runway extension must occur by September 2017. Coun. Bob Spiers opposed endorsing the $7.2 million project and possibly an ultimate $11 million extension because of the burden on taxpayers. “If there is such a great economic benefit, who is it going to and why don’t they pay for it?” he said. “I’m happy with the airport we have now.”

CITY IN SPOTLIGHT

A push for expanded transit in Coldstream has hit a dead end. Council voted Monday not to make changes to the existing evening and weekend transit services even though some residents lobbied for the move. “It’s not cost-effective,” said Coun. Peter McClean. On weeknights in Coldstream the last bus runs at 6:42 p.m., while Vernon buses continue to serve the public until 9:44 p.m. The situation is similar on Sundays, when the buses don’t start until 11 a.m. and wrap up around 4 p.m. Meanwhile Sunday service in Vernon is from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Last spring, a resident presented council with a 70-name petition calling for extended hours in Coldstream. It’s believed that adding weekend and evening hours could cost about $20,000 a year. “There’s not enough patronage to warrant the extension,” said McClean. District officials also say they need to focus on future routes that could positively impact a large number of residents, such as a bus running from Kalamalka Road, up College Way, to Okanagan College. “People would use that route,” said Coun. Richard Enns. “I’d like to see routes go in place that would be well used.” Another future possibility is a route that connects Middleton Mountain with the college and the Shops at Polson Park.

Vernon’s elected officials appear reluctant to wade into the issue of medical marijuana. On Monday, a representative from a medical cannabis dispensary told city council that there is a need for standards within the industry and municipalities should control the number of outlets open and where they are located. “We should legalize and regulate marijuana but it’s not within municipal jurisdiction,” said Coun. Scott Scott Anderson Anderson, adding that only Ottawa can set the terms of medical marijuana. “Until the federal government decides what it wants to do, we will have problems.” Mayor Akbal Mund believes the presentation was to provide information only. Akbal Mund “They wanted to let the city know they aren’t operating as criminals,” he said. Late last year, RCMP officers visited five local medical marijuana dispensaries to “outline our concerns and the potential ramifications related to business practices which do not comply with the current Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA).” In his presentation Monday, Jeff Gaudette, with MMJ Total Health, indicated that the number of dispensaries continues to climb. “They are popping up in Vancouver and cities across B.C. One shuts down and two open,” he said. “We have dispensaries in Vernon. Some are in storefronts, some are mobile and some are out of homes and they will keep growing.” Gaudette said there is a need for outlets to remain focused on the needs of people with medical issues. “A liquor store will not provide safe access.” He is also calling for quality and patient care standards and for businesses to follow bylaws, while municipalities should dictate where dispensaries are located and how many exist. “We’re open for discussion and we want to work with all of the concerns you have as a city,” Gaudette told council. Members of the RCMP detachment were present during the presentation.

Security crews at the Lower Mainland played a role in identifying an alleged thief. On Jan. 18 at about 11 p.m., Vernon RCMP received a call from security staff in Vancouver that surveillance cameras were showing someone inside the ICBC compound on 48th Avenue. “He was caught just leaving,” said Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy, with the Vernon RCMP. Nothing was taken and ICBC officials are investigating if any vehicles were damaged. Carey Polanski, 36, of Vernon has been charged with break and enter and possession of break-in tools. He was held for court and released on a recognizance. Polanski is scheduled to reappear in court Jan. 28.

ALR proposal harvests support richard rolke

“I don’t see a lot of farming value on that corner.”

Morning Star Staff

There is a distinct split among Vernon politicians over a proposed development. A majority of council decided Monday to go against a staff recommendation and send an application for Agricultural Land Reserve exclusion to the Agricultural Land Commission for consideration. “I’m discouraged we are not considering the preservation of farm land,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham, who along with Coun. Bob Spiers, voted against supporting the application. The 3.8 hectares is located at 15th Street and Pottery Road and the owner is proposing to construct residential lots. “I’m not in favour of gobbling up ALR land but I don’t see a lot of farming value on that corner,” said Coun. Brian Quiring, adding the property is close to shopping, schools and services.

— Brian Quiring

“It’s a natural progression of the community. It’s smart growth.” Staff opposed supporting the ALR exclusion application because it goes against the official community plan and the amount of land already existing in Vernon for housing. Coun. Scott Anderson was not moved by administration’s argument. “The OCP is a guide more than something chiselled in granite,” he said.

“The only thing I’ve seen growing on that land is (election) campaign signs.” Cunningham made one last pitch to keep the application from going to the ALC. “When you look at climate change, there’s the possibility of growing and doing other things on that property,” she said. A motion not to support the application died in a 4-3 vote and that ultimately led to a successful motion to back the application. Anderson does not believe developing the site will hinder the community’s ability to feed itself in the future. “Civilization does not hinge on this parcel of land,” he said. Cunningham, though, suggests that a precedent has been set. “It opens the door for everyone to come and do the same thing,” she said of getting a city endorsement to remove land from the ALR.

A popular transit stop could remain on course. The relocation of the bus stop at the Village Green Centre bus stop to 48th Avenue has been delayed until April 1 instead of Feb. 6 and the move could be avoided altogether. “There is dialogue, which is good,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham. First Canada, which operates transit, has stated it can’t provide the service to the existing transit stop in the mall because of safety concerns related to traffic and the configuration of the parking lot. Management at the Village Green Centre has previously insisted it’s committed to accommodating a transit stop onsite. Cunningham hopes a compromise can be found so transit users don’t have to walk from 48th Avenue, through the parking lot, to the mall. “It’s a concern for seniors or parents with children,” she said.

Road paving moves ahead in Coldstream RICHARD ROLKE

“If we let it slip, we are left playing catch-up.”

Morning Star Staff

Infrastructure is getting a major overhaul in Coldstream this year. Council has approved $930,000 for four new paving projects while $240,000 is being carried over for six projects that weren’t done in 2015. “The money is there and the roads were identified as to what needs to be done,” said Coun. Glen Taylor. “If we let it slip (roads), we are left playing catch-up and we don’t want to do that.” The $930,000 in projects include Kalamalka Road from Giles Drive to Highway 6, Scenic

— Glen Taylor

Drive from Cypress Drive to the west end, the 6400 block of Brewer Road to Angus Drive and the remainder of the Kidston Road parking lot. The $650,000 for Kalamalka Road is being cost-shared with Greater Vernon Water. The carry-over projects from 2015 include Rochdell Drive from the east end to Learmouth Road, Tassie Drive

from Coldstream Creek Road to Sage Drive, Tassie Drive from Sage Drive to McClounie Road, Cactus Drive from Tassie Drive to the north end, Venables Drive from Aberdeen Road to the west end and Corona Court from the south end to Primrose Drive. Venables Drive and Tassie Drive, from Sage Drive to McClounie Road, are being cost-

shared with Greater Vernon Water. Beyond roads, the district is looking at improvements to other infrastructure. Council has approved a policy regarding storm water drainage capital improvements. Minor capital improvement projects with an estimated purchase cost of less than $250,000 will be funded through the municipality’s surplus and reserve funds, while major capital works exceeding $250,000 will be funded by the owners of the benefitting properties through a local area service tax.

“We have identified a lot of areas where

roads are deteriorating because water is build-

ing up,” said Taylor of tackling drainage.

Truck, equipment stolen from home RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

A vehicle and equipment were taken from a Vernon residence. Sometime overnight Jan. 22 or 23, a brown 2001 GMC Sierra pickup was stolen from a driveway in the 5600 block of Heritage Drive. Also taken were a chop saw and a Porter-cable air compressor. “They were in front of the residence,” said Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy of the equipment. The truck can be identified by a cracked front grill and red decals on the sides. Anyone with information on the crime is asked to call the RCMP or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477. Area resident located The RCMP have wrapped up a search for a missing person. On Tuesday, RCMP reported that Rebecka Hill, 24, had been in contact with her family. On Jan. 20, Hill was reported missing by her family in Lumby.

She last had contact with her family via Facebook Jan. 1. While the family is in Lumby, Hill was residing in Kelowna at the time.

“These events are for the benefit of our residents.”

Morning Star Staff

Armstrong officials insist they want to find middle ground with a retirement residence. On Monday, council instructed city staff to meet with Heaton Place over permitted uses. “There are lots of solutions,” said Mayor Chris Pieper. In November, the city received a complaint from someone in the community about whether zoning at Heaton Place permitted events where products are sold. At the time, Heaton Place confirmed events where fees are charged to businesses for tables or space, and the revenue raised by the fee was going towards a hearing loop for residents of the facility. “Staff advised that the sale of goods through onsite vendors is not a permitted use according to the city’s current zoning regulations,” said Melinda Stickney, the city’s chief administrative officer, in a report. Future events where fees are charged could require changes to zoning and business license regulations. “We want to figure out how to make this legal,” said Pieper. Also on Monday, council received a letter from a Heaton Place resident upset with the city’s actions. “It seems particularly mean spirited and shameful for these events to be denied to those who live here, many of whom are not able to get out and about to attend any similar events in and around town,” said Michael Hawkes. “If any councillor objects to any means of attracting visitors and their money to town, then he or she should carefully consider their position.”

— Christensen

Hawkes calls for a compromise to be found. “I suggest that subject to a legal interpretation of the bylaw, the recent action by Armstrong city council should be rescinded and events allowed to be arranged as before at Heaton Place and that serious consideration be given to providing a sensible, common sense solution for the long-term,” he wrote. Heaton Place representatives say the events bring people into the community who spend money with local vendors. “Most important, is these events are for the benefit of our residents and are included in their social and recreational programming,” said Penny Christensen, manager. “With all of these positive attributes, I am hoping the City of Armstrong can rewrite the zoning bylaw to be more specific and allow these events for the wellness of the citizens of Armstrong.” Heaton Place residents were informed recently that there can’t be further wellness or craft fairs becayse of the city’s stance on the bylaw. “Needless to say, our residents were extremely upset and have decided to see if their voice within the City of Armstrong and community would possibly change the situation so we could have these events for their benefit,” said Christensen.

here’s been a bit of a dust-up over Regional District of North Okanagan committees. After reading the terms of reference that establish advisory committees, it was determined the rules weren’t being followed about who sits on the committees and votes. Specifically, only municipal representatives appointed to the RDNO board as director or alternate director can sit on an advisory committee, although other municipal councillors have been at the table for years. As a result, Coldstream scrapped Coun. Gyula Kiss’s abilRichard Rolke ity to be a regular at the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee while Lumby stripped Coun.

Mindnich was gracious about the shift, but Kiss was less than thrilled. “I have a real problem with this if we can only get two individuals,” said Kiss of Coldstream’s participation at GVAC and RDNO. “It’s not a good representation. This is not exactly a good outcome for the District of Coldstream.” Now the regional district will review its terms of reference for standing committees later this year and hopefully it will consider the current situation. Specifically, by limiting committees to the two municipal members appointed to the RDNO board as director or alternate director, it is restricting the number of people involved in the process.

ideas coming forward if it’s the same voices around the table all of the time? Different opinons are particularly welcome when complex issues, such as Greater Vernon’s multi-milliondollar water utility, are on the agenda. And even if a GVAC director doesn’t sit at the RDNO board, it doesn’t overrule the regional board’s ultimate ability to make the final decision. It just means others were involved in the discussion process. Placing power in a limited number of hands is not a good thing for democracy. However, there is an unfortunate side note to all of this. No sooner was Kiss officially removed from his regular seat at GVAC, and some in the community began to speculate that it had nothing to do with the regional district following its terms of reference. Instead, they suggested that this was an attempt to muzzle Kiss, who has been a diligent critic of the Greater Vernon water utility, partricularly when it comes to the master water plan and rates. Obviously there’s no question that Kiss has got under the skin of regional district staff and has created frustration for some of his political counterparts. But to claim that RDNO is being vindictive is over the top. The reality is that Kiss hasn’t gone anywhere. He can still raise questions about water at Coldstream council meetings, which he did at length Monday, and on his blog. And he can sit at GVAC meetings if one of Coldstream’s two designated representatives is unable to attend, something he did Jan. 20. In the end, RDNO must open up its proceedings to more elected officials to ensure transparency, but throwing a cloak-and-dagger plot into the mix isn’t necessary.

The current situation around the legality and enforcement of marijuana needs to be shuffled into Ottawa’s action this day file, alongside the economy and assisted dying. The interim leader of the Conservatives, Rona Ambrose, demonstrated how confusing this issue has become. Ambrose on CKNW, said the Liberal governments must “take it slow” when moving on legalizing marijuana; but she then said that she wants the government to move quickly to regulate pot dispensaries. Disepensaries maintain they are legal and will stay open but the RCMP seem to disagree. Until the federal government clarifies the decriminalization or legality of marijuana, who can sell it and where — or says this is for municipalities to regulate — cities would be wise to wait to create a new bylaw. We have a situation where medicinal marijuana is legal, and firms are following the letter of the law. But the interpretation of that law, which has seen marijuana storefronts open up in every city, needs to be clarified for everbody’s sake. Justice Minister Jody WilsonRaybould said in November that the government is “proceeding in a concerted way” and she will have more to say in coming weeks and months. WilsonRaybould needs to say something and soon, other than that they are “proceeding in a concerted way.” She has to give some direction to cities, dispensaries and police agencies. The debate about the use of marijuana, medicinal and otherwise, has been swept to the side by this confusion over dispensaries. We need to refocus the debate and this can only happen once the government frames new legislation. Doing that must become a priority in Ottawa. — Black Press

Homeless deserve consideration

or some time, I have been very concerned with the plight of the homeless and lowincome people of Vernon. Recently, in the letters to the editor section of the local paper, I read about a 15-year-old girl who was homeless and sleeping in a hammock in the park behind some bushes. Now how scary is that. On Oct. 12, 2014, I watched a PBS program called Religion and Ethics. They described an opportunity village in Eugene, Ore. where transitional housing was provided for their homeless/low income people. It is a gated community and consists of little, individual shelters about eight-foot-by-10-foot or 10-by-10-foot-square and the doors have locks so it is a safe place. There is no heat or electricity in the individual shelters but there is a large central building that has bathrooms, showers, clothes washers and dryers, fridges and cooking facilities. There is also a building for socializing, meetings, etc.

SETTING THE SCENE You want to know what it's like for the Okanagan Indian Band having thousands of acres littered with bombs? Scene: Mom = the monarch Uncle = Department of National Defense You = An Okanagan Indian So you own this beautiful home out in the country. It's not as close as you would like it to be, so you don't always get out there. One day you get a call from your mom, "Let your uncle borrow your house for a while. He and some friends are going to do some training." You don't want to do it, but hey, mom already told you that it's going to happen. You let your uncle borrow your country house and a few weeks after he's done with it, you decide to go check on the property. You arrive and it's a disaster. The entire place is a pigsty. There are holes in the wall, someone stole your mounted moose head, beer cans strewn about and they took the doors and windows off so you're unable to

A council is elected to oversee things, and has a policy of three strikes and you're out. An outside committee interviews and selects the residents. This is transitional housing and not meant to be a permanent residence, but only long enough to get a person on their feet and selfsupporting. They would pay only $1 a day ($30 a month) and donations would cover the remaining $2 a day to meet the expenses. There are more of these little villages in other cities, so the idea is taking off. You can check it out on the Internet under opportunity village. Would this work in Vernon? Does the city have any available property to be leased or donated to make this happen? There are many good ideas here and lots to think about. How many of us could afford a few dollars a month to help those in need? Lets give it some serious consideration. M. Atkinson

even use the house yourself now. "Uh, mom, did you see what uncle did to my house?" you ask. "Yes dear, I heard about it." "Is he going to clean it up?" "He said he would..." Fast forward 50 years and you can't still use your house. You call your uncle and say, "You know uncle, I think it's time you clean up the mess you made of my country home." "Hey kiddo," says uncle, "Yep, I've committed to cleaning up the mess and I'll assess the situation just as soon as you tell me what your plans are for the property. Are you going to have a party?" "No uncle. I just want my house back to how you found it." "Well, until you tell me what you need it cleaned for, I just can't drop everything and come clean up that mess," says uncle. "You mean your mess?" you retort. "Let's not point fingers." Fade ************* If the Department of National Defense filled your property with unexploded bombs, grenades, white phosphorous and other munitions, you wouldn't accept

the DND's response. "...DND will continue to assess and initiate clearances once the band has finalized its economic development implementation plan and timelines." Internet trolls aside, more thoughtful people with the most elementary sense of right and wrong know this: For better or for worse, despite being second class citizens on their own land, unable to vote, buy cattle or leave the reserve without permission, dozens of men and women from the Okanagan Indian Band volunteered to serve this country during the Boer War, First World War, Second World War and beyond. Their sacrifices helped provide the freedom we all enjoy today and I think a real tribute to a man like George McLean, an OKIB member who single handedly captured 19 prisoners at the Battle of Vimy Ridge, would be to clean the land he came from and the land he fought for. You wouldn't accept it if it happened to your house or to your property, so why should the Okanagan Indian Band? Joseph Jack

NO TAX INCREASE The District of Lake Country and Mayor Baker must think we are all stupid. For Baker to come out and pat himself and the rest of council on the back for keeping taxes to zero per cent, I find it totally deplorable and insulting. What they have actually done is increase the taxes on the lower cost housing (mobile homes) by up to 40 per cent in some cases because of the parcel tax of $125 for road improvements. This tax will go on each year for the next 20 years and will in fact go up as the years go by. This is a very unfair tax and what they should have done instead is increased taxes for everyone by two to three per cent and used this money for road improvements. Of course they don’t mention that assessments on most Lake Country properties have gone up, and in some cases by more than $100,000. This will mean some will be faced with a big increase in tax on their property. Also no mention on how we will be paying the $2.5 million they borrowed to buy the CN rail corridor.

Its time for a new mayor and council and I can’t wait to turf this group come next election time. Ron Volk

notice of public hearing A Public Hearing will be held in the Council Chambers of the Township of Spallumcheen Hall, 4144 Spallumcheen Way, Spallumcheen, BC on Monday, February 1, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. to hear representation on the following matter: TOWNSHIP OF SPALLUMCHEEN ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 1903, 2016 This Bylaw proposes to rezone the property legally described as Lot 2, Sec 21, Twp 7, ODYD, Plan 1673 and located at 4826 Grandview Flats North, Spallumcheen, BC from the Large Holding Zone (L.H) to the Small Holding Zone (S.H). The minimum lot size standard of the S.H zone is 1 ha. Uses permitted in the S.H zone include single family dwellings which may include secondary suites, secondary single family dwellings on lots 2 ha or larger, intensive and restricted agriculture uses, home occupations, dog kennels on lots larger than 4 ha, and bed and breakfast uses. If successful in rezoning the property, the owner proposes to subdivide it into two (2) lots.

Aquifer Team (SHAT) has requested, and received, a letter of support from township council that calls for the protection and remediation of the Hullcar aquifers be issued by the province. The University of Victoria-based Environmental Law Centre Clinic will present the request on behalf of SHAT. “The members of the team truly appreciate council’s support,” said SHAT member Al Price. Township council sent a letter in April 2015 to Environment Minister Mary Polak, and copied the letter to the ministries of health and agriculture. Spallumcheen supported a request from the Steele Springs Water District, which is serviced by the Hullcar aquifers, who asked for a moratorium on spraying effluent on a dairy farm in question, adjacent to Steele Springs, until nitrate

levels dropped below three parts per million (PPM). The water district has been under a Do Not Drink advisory from Interior Health since March 2014 because nitrate levels in the water source went past the 10 PPM maximum allowed under the Canadian Drinking Water Guidelines. Polak responded in Aug. 2015, stating a moratorium was “not an appropriate response at this time.” Nitrate testing by the Steele Springs Water District and the ministry of environment show that nitrate levels steadily decreased from 13 PPM in February 2015 to nine PPM in September 2015, but

rose again to 12.50 PPM in December. Spallumcheen Coun. Joe Van Tienhoven questioned why the government is reluctant to conduct testing at deeper levels, referring to a letter the township received from Arlene Paton, assistant deputy minister for population and public health, who met with council members during the UBCM convention in Vancouver in September. Paton said the ministry of agriculture confirmed that soil testing of nitrates prior to manure applications continues to be required on the farm in question at depths of zero-to-six inches, six-to-12 inches and 12-to-24 inches.

Corey Paiement, RPP Chief Administrative Officer

“Testing for nitrates deeper in the soil profile on the farm properties is not being considered by any of our agencies,” said Paton. Coun. Christine Fraser said the township hears regularly from residents, such as Wanda Bristol ,about the water contamination. Bristol, in a two-page letter, said “impartial monitoring of the soil nutrient profile by the B.C. government in the Hullcar valley would pinpoint the source of contamination. Remedial steps would then be enforced to prevent further contamination.” “I feel we should be sending these letters to the agriculture and environment ministries to show the public is quite concerned,” said Fraser. “Any letters we get, we should forward on to the ministries. That would have more impact to show them.”

Public Consultation on the Five Year Financial Plan (Proposed 2016 Budget, and the 2016 Capital Expenditure Program.)

This public information meeting for the proposed 2016 budget is for Spallumcheen residents and property owners to attend and to ask questions regarding the budget. Township staff and members of Council will be in attendance to answer questions. A copy of the proposed budget document can be found on the Township’s website at www.spallumcheentwp.bc.ca under “News”; 2016 - 2020 Five Year Financial Plan - Draft #1 report.

RCMP, who in turn contacted Shuswap Search and Rescue,” said Trevor Honigman, with Vernon SAR. On Jan. 22, Vernon SAR was asked to provide its helicopter winch rescue team because steep terrain and potential avalanche conditions prevented Shuswap SAR members from reaching the men. “With the end of the day approaching, it was decided that the Vernon SAR team was the safest solution to extract the subjects for the next day,” said Honigman. On Jan. 23, the weather improved and the Vernon team flew to the area, located the men and lowered a technician by winch 150 feet down between the trees. “Once the subjects were assessed, they were winched up into the helicopter one by one,” said Honigman. Both men were delivered to paramedics for care and have since been released.

When former Vernon resident Irish Beth Maddock (née Fell) wrote her first children’s book, she had no idea that her fish “tail” about Okanagan Lake was going to swim into bigger waters. The Great Carp Escape has just earned Maddock another award - her seventh since her book was published last year. The latest Irish Beth is a gold medal Maddock with the 2016 Illumination Awards in the enduring light children’s picture book category. “I applied for every award that I could with my book in small hopes it might just win one placement,” said Maddock, a former Queen Silver Star who is now based in Calgary. “The competition is quite fierce in the children’s publishing industry, so it truly blows me away that my story has received such incredible recognition.”

In 2015, The Great Carp Escape placed as a finalist in The International Book Awards, the U.S.A. Best Book Awards, and with the National Indie Excellence Awards in its children’s religious picture book categories. In addition, the book’s illustrator, Lucent Ouano, was recognized with a Reader’s Choice Best Illustrated Book Award in the Christian category. The Great Carp Escape is based on the true story of a childhood adventure Maddock experienced while growing up on Okanagan Lake during the mid-1980s. Publicity from media venues such as Publisher’s Weekly, 100 Huntley Street, and CBC Radio has also brought attention to Maddock’s story. The author has been using her award winning book as a fundraiser for schools, churches, charities and ministries, so far raising more than $1,000 for various causes. More information about The Great Carp Escape is available at irishbethmaddock.com. The book is available locally at Vernon Teach and Learn, Coles/ Chapters, or online.

Rap battle survivor Snak the Ripper makes his way back to Vernon Morning Star Staff

It’s been called one of the biggest rap battles in Canadian history. And now one side of that battle is making his way to the Vernon stage. Vancouver hip hop artist Snak the Ripper, who arrives at Vernon’s 2929 Nite Club Friday, doesn’t mince words and that’s more than evident in his beef with fellow West Coast MC Madchild, of Swollen Members fame. The bloodless battle between the two rappers happened last fall when Madchild called out Snak on Twitter in a 140-maximum character rant, which cannot be printed verbatim in this family publication. The Tweet was soon after deleted, however, the heat escalated when Snak hit back at Madchild by releasing the track, Assisted Suicide, and an accompanying video just 24 hours later. Let’s just say he skipped the pleasantries of polite conversation. Madchild retorted with his own “diss” track Funeral, with Snak volleying back with the pull-no-punches Child Abuse.

Nonetheless, a maelstrom enveloped the two artists when their war of words was written up by numerous media outlets, with fans of each artist taking sides. The dust has settled for now, but it proves that people are still passionate about hip hop and the artists slugging it out in this country. Snak the Ripper, and artists such as him, prove that the slogan “hip hop ain’t dead, it lives in the North,” still rings true. “This has become a popular slogan tied to the Canadian hip hop movement and a reference to the fact that many Canadians feel hip hop has a home here in the Great White North,” said Josh Brazier, with Vernon’s 13th Floor Entertainment, which is bringing Snak the Ripper back to town after his last visit in 2012. “While many thought the genre would never last or had seen its day, there are a lot of Canadian MCs that are doing everything in their power to change people’s perspective on this and Snak is definitely making a name for himself on a global level.” The owner of his own record label, Stealth

“Where Students Come First”

Bomb Records, Snak has control of all his music and has opened doors to many future stars that now run under the Stealth Bomb umbrella. He has also been busy performing just about everywhere. His latest album on Stealth Bomb, Just Giver, was followed by a cross-country tour and he just returned from performing in Australia and will head over to Europe in February. “This is Snak’s only Okanagan show, so we expect a lot of out-of-town guests,” said Brazier, adding 13th Floor has a deal with Vernon’s Fairfield Inn and Suites for a $99 hotel package that includes two tickets to the show and breakfast the following morning. Supporting acts include former Vernon resident Jaclynn Gee, whom Brazier says has enjoyed a tremendous amount of success lately and looks to have a very promising musical career ahead of her. Also performing is well known local act Alfy’o, representing the Reckless Religion Crew, and Kelowna DJs Mode and Jakeda.

A Bedouin boyhood adventure For The Morning Star

The Vernon Film Society is showing the movie Theeb Monday. This Middle Eastern production, filmed in the stunning landscape of Wadi Rum in Jordan, is Naji Abu Nowar’s feature-length debut as a director. The director of short film, Death of a Boxer, Nowar also wrote the script for Theeb. Although born in Britain, Nowar’s father is Jordanian and he has lived in the country most of his life. He lived amongst the Bedouin for many months, learning of their way of life, habits and getting to know them enough that some agreed to spend time acting in this movie. All the Bedouin characters in the movie

brought up by his brother Hussein (Hussein Salameh Al-Sweilhiyeen) after the death of their father. They live with other members of their tribe when a British Army officer and a companion come to their camp asking for help in finding a route through the desert. This is during the First World War when the Ottoman troops were fighting the British along with Arab revolutionaries and outcast Bedouin raiders. Theeb is supposed to stay home, but secretly chases after his brother and becomes involved in the fighting and subsequently has to save himself. Theeb takes place at the same time as Lawrence of Arabia and like the famed David Lean film gives a glimpse into a world few have seen and have only a vague knowledge about. Filmed against the stunning backdrop of the desert, the movie is a great escape from the dark days of winter. The Los Angeles Times wrote that Theeb is “a disarmingly complex boyhood adventure with no shortage of tension or harsh beauty.” The film will be shown at the Vernon Towne Cinema Monday, Feb. 1 at 5:15 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. Tickets are $7 (cash only) available at the Bean Scene and the theatre one week ahead. The film is rated PG for violence and is in Arabic with English subtitles.

Old-fashioned skills for modern-day kids Mackie Lake House will be a creative place to be for kids ages 10 to 13, as Judith Jurica leads creative sewing classes every Monday after school. The class will start with basic sewing skills such as repairing a hole and sewing on a button. “Following mastery of the basics, we will move on to simple embellishments such as applique, beading and embroidery,” said Christine Kashuba, Mackie Lake House manager. “A small sew-

Judith Jurica ing project or two will be completed during the five classes and each student will leave with a nicely appointed sewing kit, practical skills to apply and a sense of accomplishment.

Jurica is currently a full-time studio artist and art teacher sharing time between Canada and Slovakia. After earning a bachelor of fine arts degree from Okanagan University College, she served as creative director and administrator of Gallery Vertigo for 11 years. She has actively exhibited her work throughout Canada and abroad for the last 20 years and enjoys sharing her creative skills through classes and workshops for children and adults. “We’re really excited

to have Judith come and teach these basic hand-sewing skills here at Mackie Lake House,” said Kashuba. “Students can learn these really practical skills and learn to appreciate the way things were created in the past all at the same time.” The classes run Feb. 15 to March 14, Mondays from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Cost for the five classes and all the related materials is $110 per person.

Tips for saving seeds

appy New Year to everyone. Hope you have a wonderful 2016 filled with health, happiness and peace. Cannot believe that we already have turned a new page and January is almost gone. Jocelyne Sewell I have been working on my seeds and germinating some old ones. I have tomato seedlings on the windowsill. They have been there for a few weeks now and I want to see how they do without artificial light. I had an envelope of old tomato seeds from 2003 to 2004. I was to put them in the compost but I decided to try them first. So far I have potted 24 little seeds with a root.

A GArdener’s diAry

When your seeds are kept in a cool dry place in the dark, some of them can last a long time. This is over 10 years. I never store my seeds in plastic envelopes and when I use plastic containers like vitamin containers, I put the silica gel packs in them. This way it keeps them dry. I read on the Rodale Organic site that you can wrap two heaping tablespoons of powdered milk in four layers of facial tissue, then put the milk packet inside the storage container (shoe boxes or whatever) with the seed packets. Replace every six months. Christmas time has a lot of baking going on and the use of vanilla is in many recipes. I happened to find an old article from 2012 about vanilla beans which was very interesting. I don’t know who wrote it, but I did not. There are many sites on the internet relating to the vanilla bean. The vanilla bean comes from an orchid. It is

used in the food and cosmetic industries. The Mexican Aztecs discovered the plant in the early 16th century and used the pods against poisons, to aid their digestion and also for flavouring. Around 1518, Cortes took some vanilla back to Europe and created vanillaflavoured chocolate. This soon became popular and although the plants were grown indoors, the flowers never produced pods. Charles Morren discovered why in 1836 when he determined that the pollinators were not available in Europe and that the flowers had to be individually hand-pollinated, which was not an easy task. It wasn’t until a former slave on an island off Madagascar perfected an easier way to hand-pollinate the flowers that the industry took off. Edmond Albius’s method of hand-pollination is still used to this day.

Judith Jurica will teach kids how to make fun things, such as the mended heart (left) and embroidery hoop people, in her upcoming classes at Mackie Lake House.

The vanilla orchid exhibits vine-like growth, forming long thin stems with lengths of more than 35 metres. The climbing vines produce bright green fleshy stems with flat leaves that grow alternately on either side of the length of the vine at regular intervals. Flowers are not produced until the vines are approximately two to three years of age. The flowers only last one day and if their pollinator is not around, no seed pods are formed. The flowers are presumed to be pollinated by a stingless bee and certain hummingbirds. One vanilla orchid vine can grow for about 10 years and will produce approximately 1,000 flowers. The Okanagan Gardens and Roses club will resume its meetings Feb. 8 at the Schubert Centre starting at 7 p.m. For more information: 250-558-4556 or plantlady1@ shaw.ca

First Nations Friendship Centre hosts prep for success Contributed

A gala evening of food, makeup and lifecoaching techniques was recently presented for 10 young ladies at the Kekuli Apartments just in time for the holiday season. Owned and operated by the First Nations Friendship Centre in Vernon, the Kekuli Apartments is a complex designed for people ages 19 to 29 who are facing barriers to affordable housing. The evening was intended to demonstrate easy makeup, hair styles, personal presentation techniques and life-coaching tips that the ladies could apply in their search for work and daily living, while taking a positive step toward greater success. A wonderful team of professionals came together to donate time, products and their skills: Holly Deleenheer and

Jennica Camalush with Noir Salon; Hayley Halliwell, professional makeup artist with MAC Cosmetics; Devyn McMillan, Lux Life life coaching and makeup artist. In addition, many products were donated to create gift packs for each participant as well as a free hair style provided by Camalush. The Friendship Centre would like to thank the Hudson’s Bay and Shoppers Drug Mart for generous donations for the gift packs as well as Bean to Cup and Nature’s Fare for delicious appies. The First Nations Friendship Centre would like to thank all of the professional volunteers as well as the ladies who took a few hours to improve their skills in personal presentation. The next event will focus on the youth program and a special evening for men’s grooming and styling tips.

An Armstrong group is receiving a community gaming grant from the provincial government. A total of $20,000 will go to the North Okanagan Therapeutic Riding Association. “I’m pleased that our community gaming grants will make it easier for great organizations to continue their important work,” said Greg Kyllo, Shuswap MLA. The grant is awarded under the human and social services category of the community gaming grant program, which allows non-profit organizations to apply for provincial gaming revenues from the Ministry of C ommunity Development.

Red Bulls brush back Vipers KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

With multi-coloured helmets and jerseys, the EC Red Bull Salzburg Under 20s resembled a European cycling team Monday night at Kal Tire Place. And when they came out in fifth gear and scored on their first two shots on goal, it appeared the Tour de Salzburg may roll over the Vernon Vipers. The Snakes re-grouped later in the period and matched the Austrian’s wheels and pin-point passing before falling 6-4 before 1,277 fans. Daniel Wachter pulled the hat trick for Red Bull in the entertaining international exhibition hockey tilt. It was Salzburg’s second win in three tries against B.C. Hockey League teams. The Red Bulls outlasted the West Kelowna Warriors 8-6 to jumpstart their four-game tour a week ago. Salzburg then lost 6-1 to the first-place Penticton Vees last Wednesday. The Red Bulls finish their tour Wednesday night in Victoria versus the Grizzlies. The Vipers, who still have several players battling the flu, recalled forwards Keaton Gordon of the Junior B Kamloops Storm and Jake Toor of Yale Academy in Abbotsford, along with defencemen Carter Stephenson (Vancouver NW Giants) and Chris Jandric (Cariboo Cougars) from the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League. All four showed they will be ready for full-time duty next year. Wachter, 18, buried a wrister in the mid-slot after a turnover 2:31 into the third period to break a 2-2 deadlock. He supplied the winner with 4:07 remaining with a top-cheddar shot past Brendan Barry, 47 seconds after Liam Finlay made it 4-4 from the left crease after a feed from d-man Latrell Charleson, who strolled down the left wall after taking a feed from Chris Jandric. The roadrunner Wachter beat d-man Mac Ferner to a loose puck and buried an empty netter for the hat trick with just seconds left. “The Vipers are a pretty fast team with lots of skilled guys,” said Wachter. “It was a tough match up.” Phillip Lindner, Paul Sztatecsny and Marek Valach also scored for Salzburg, who led 2-0 just 4:24 after the national anthems were sung.

Damian Coljee-Fehr of the Vernon Coca-Cola Vipers, right, gets tangled up with Levi McGarvey of the Cloverdale Colts in the Vernon Midget Tier 3 Hockey Tournament Saturday at the Civic Arena.

Midgets ready for playoffs Connor Webb took the win and made a key breakaway save when the game was only 2-1. Vernon travelled through a snow storm Saturday afternoon and gained a 2-2 tie with the West Kelowna Warriors. The Vipers’ Kyle Sherwood finished a nice pass from Logan Imrich going bar down. Dylan Sedlacek sniped a nice goal to knot the game 2-2 before West Kelowna took the lead on a high stick goal that only the referee missed. Nick Cherkowski wheeled out from the corner to fire the equalizer. Dawson Chase had a couple of helpers. Vernon (11-2-2) finished just behind first-place Penticton (12-2-1) and will face off against Kelowna (4-10-1) in a first-round, best-of-three playoff series. Game 1 goes Saturday, 7:45 p.m., at Civic.

The Vernon Home Hardware Centre Vipers closed the regular Okanagan Mainline Midget Tier 2 Hockey League season with a 4-1 victory over the Kelowna Fripps Warehouse Rockets Sunday afternoon at the Capital News Centre. Kelowna opened the scoring on a screened shot from the point before Connor Johnston banged in a Grady Caton shot from the point for the equalizer. Reed Cashato put the Vipers up by one when he knocked in a shot from a scramble in front of Kelowna goalie Nathan Sparks. After the ice clean, Dex Elders put the game away with back-to back goals. Jason Shaigec chipped in with a couple of assists.

Cayden Hamming went the distance in net as Vernon ended the regular season atop the table at 14-1. The first goal came 20 seconds into the first period, slapped in by Jarred Feist, assisted by Steel Quiring and Jakob Jones. Ronac Chauhan scored the second with feeds from Emma Elders and Porter Trevelyan. Elders supplied the third goal with helpers to Connor Elliott and Trevelyan. Quiring pulled the hat trick and also compiled two assists. Feist got his second goal, followed by singles from Jones, Zackary Funk and Jacob Boden. The Mustang defence was dynamic, anchored by Nic Noren, Isaac Thomas and Jace Weir. The Mustangs open the 45th CocaCola Invitational Pee Wee Hockey Classic Thursday, Feb. 11 (8 a.m.) against the Glenlake Hawks of Calgary . Vernon is in the Coca-Cola Division with the Idaho Jr. Steelheads and the Dawson Creek Canucks. The Vernon Fix Auto Vipers finished the Bantam Tier 3 regular season with a 3-2 victory over the West Kelowna Warriors Sunday at Civic Arena. Cole Boyarski opened the scoring from Mason Robinson, while Lucas Zubrod from Jacob Brewer tied it 2-2 at the end of 40 minutes. Jacob Green put Vernon ahead to stay with seven minutes left. Gavin Fleck picked up the assist. Vernon played very disciplined. Jadon Foster took the win. Second-place West Kelowna dipped to 11-6-1. The Vipers ended up sixth at 5-7-2 and will begin the playoffs Friday night in Kamloops against the third-place Blazers (7-4-3). Game 2 goes Saturday, 12:45 p.m., at Priest Valley.

Red Bull Salzburg has former NHL head coach Pierre Pagé as club director. Salzburg is coached by former Boston College standout and Carolina draft pick J.D. Forrest as well as former Clarkson University defenceman and Bentley University assistant coach Matt Curley. Curley felt the Red Bulls showed a slightly better effort than they did against Penticton. “We talked a lot before this game about sticking with it. No matter what the score, what the circumstance, stay with the process, believe in what we’re tying to do and believe in your ability. I thought we got a little lucky there at times. I thought Vernon left a few out there and that’s part of the game. We’d like to think we took advantage of those breaks and capitalized on our chances.” Wachter said some of the Red Bulls are pushing to play pro back home, while others are trying for contracts in North America. “We’ll see what the future brings. They don’t get paid as much as over here, but it’s OK.” Meanwhile, the Vipers spoiled Hockey Day in Trail Saturday night by clipping the Smoke Eaters 3-2 in double overtime before 1,200 fans at Cominco Arena. Minnesota product Odeen Tufto slipped a wrister past Trail goalie Bailey MacBurnie at 2:57 of the second OT period as the Vipers moved three points ahead of the Smokies in the fourth and final Interior Division playoff berth. Finlay forced a turnover to the right of MacBurnie, and fed Tufto who wristed it in from the left hash mark. Tufto has 21 goals in his first BCHL season. Pellah drew the secondary assist. “It was an emotional game with lots of penalties,” said Viper assistant coach Kevin Kraus “It was two teams fighting for their lives and the play went back and forth. Both goalies played really well with more than 100 shots. “It turned into a goalie duel at times. Their goalie made some great saves to keep Trail in the game and (Andrew) Shortridge did the same for us.” The Smoke Eaters opened the scoring with 4:10 to play in the opening frame when Kyle Howarth stripped the puck from a Viper d-man and turned it into a 3-on-1. Howarth dropped it back to a trailing Nick Halloran who then feathered a pass to Max Newton on the right side and he slid it in the open net, his 10th of the season. Howarth made it 2-0 when he jumped on a loose puck in the Vipers slot and beat Shortridge low stick side midway through the second, his ninth snipe of the year. Trail outshot Vernon 54-52. Vernon replied on the power play, when Tufto’s point shot ricocheted off the backboard to Finlay at the side of the net for his 14th goal of the season, 13:58 into the period. Ben Butcher also drew an assist. Less than 90 seconds later, Brandt surprised MacBurnie, snapping a shot from a face-off won by McCarthy in the Trail end to tie things up. “It was a tough battle between both teams,” said Howarth. “Bounces sometimes don’t go your way, and a double-overtime loss, you can’t really blame anyone.” Said Smoke Eater assistant coach Curtis Toneff: “This team gets a lot of shots, and we see a lot of them hit him in the chest, but don’t take anything away from Shortridge, he was awesome tonight, as was Bailey. But we’re not going to hang our heads on this one. It looked a bit like an NHL game out there where it comes down to one little mistake.” Kraus senses a newfound confidence in the youthful Viper lineup. “Our whole second half (4-3 since the Christmas break) has been great,” said Kraus. “I see a group that’s playing more aggressive and working harder than we used to. We used to stand around and watch and now we’re better defensively in our own end and we’re going to the dirty areas for goals. We’re not as timid as we used to be.”

Masters medal Morning Star Staff

An all-star contingent of Okanagan Masters, bolstered by some key coastal pick ups performed well at the Stealth Masters lacrosse tournament at the Langley Events Centre. The Okanagan entry came up just short in a championship shootout for the overall title. The tournament featured mini games made up of two 15-minute running time periods and was played one day in advance of Saturday’s National Lacrosse League Vancouver Stealth home game with the Colorado Mammoth. The Okanagan Masters team, led by ageless Pat Nelson, cruised past the North Shore Cowboys 4-1 in their opener of the round robin. Former Vernon Tiger Kenny Hinds opened the scoring on a quick crosscrease pass. Stu Williamson (Armstrong Shamrocks) scored a nifty deke-and-dunk goal on a partial breakaway while former Team Canada gold medalist and NLL allstar Chris Seller potted two goals for the Okanagan. Game two featured a familiar rivalry as Shamrock goaltender Chad Pieper played net for the Vancouver Coasters, who were led by Hall of Famer Russ Heard. The Okanagan squad was backstopped by 11-year NLL veteran goaltender Matt Disher, who was unofficially named the tournament MVP making countless saves while shorthanded. A sound defensive core anchored by Glenn (Stumpy) Mitchell, Devin Rodger and the Nitchie brothers, Ryan and Kody, played typical lock down Shamrock defence. Former Shamrock sniper Brett Logan, who was inspired playing on the turf floor, made several cross-crease Superman-style

diving shots only to be thwarted by the goalies. With the score tied 3-3 and with only 7.5 seconds remaining, Seller made some slick moves from the left side and turned his back to Pieper and scored with a Maundrell-esque reverse backhanded submarine winning whip shot. The Okanagan team lost 4-3 to the Ladner Pioneers in a mean nothing third round-robin game and rested quickly for a back-toback encounter with the Pioneers for the championship. The Okanagan Masters fell behind early 1-0 in the final, but stormed back to score three unanswered goals. Williamson scored on his patented laser shot from the top point to take a 4-2 lead late in the final period but Ladner managed to squeak in a late goal on Disher to tie the game with under a minute to go and send the game PHOTO SUBMITTED to a three-man shoot out with the Stu Williamson of the Okanagan Masters checks a teams deadlocked at 4-4.

Taylor-Hawes powers Storm Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Storm doubled the Kelowna Flash 4-2 in Under 12 ringette action Saturday at Kal Tire Place. The Flash made the Storm work hard for every goal. Newcomer Sadie Weed assisted Chayse Krause for the first Vernon goal. Rhys Taylor-Hawes got back-to-back goals with an assist by Sierra Lochhead. After the Flash fought hard to score two in the second period, forward Jasmine Horton made a drop pass back to Alicia Hughes on defence who went in to score for the winning snipe. Goaltender Katrina Winstanley recorded save after save. Coach Paige Powls attributes the Storm’s success to great passing and playmaking by their defensive players. The action was fast and furious as the Venom stopped the Flash 5-3 Sunday at Kal Tire Place. The Venom were down 2-1 at the half, with their lone goal coming from Kristen Francks, assisted by Aimee Skinner. The Venom came out strong in the second, with sniper Makenna Jackson potting two quick ones on solo efforts, and Skinner feeding Francks again for her second.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder IF YOU BID UP, PLAY ‘EM UP, TOO Gallagher, a comedian who is known for smashing watermelons, said, “Don’t you wish there was a knob on the TV to turn up the intelligence? There’s one marked ‘Brightness,’ but it doesn’t work.” If you turn up the bidding, you had better turn up the play as well. How did South try to make his ambitious four-heart contract after West led the diamond four, and East put up his queen? North had a minimum raise to two hearts. (Those employing two-over-one game-forcing could start with one forcing no-trump, planning to rebid two hearts over a two-club or two-diamond rebid. Yes, that would promise only

two-card heart support, but North would like to cool South’s ardor a tad. Here, over one no-trump, South would probably rebid three hearts, and North could pass.) South’s actual jump to four hearts was a bit aggressive, but when you smell game, you bid game. There seem to be four unavoidable losers: one heart and three spades. (West cannot have the spade ace and king, because he would have led the ace at trick one.) The original declarer found a very bright play that would have occurred to few players. He took the first trick with his diamond ace, then immediately returned the diamond 10! West, assuming his partner had the diamond

king, played low. South gratefully cashed the diamond king and discarded a spade from the board. Then he led a spade. Given that trumps were 2-2, the defenders could not stop declarer from taking five hearts, three diamonds, one club and a spade ruff in the dummy.

In her younger days, Nana was an avid curler who also spent a tremendous amount of time golfing, bowling, knitting and gardening. Margaret and her husband Pieter founded the Talbot Arm Motel which grew into a thriving business now operational for over 50 years. Margaret was a proprietor for the Talbot Arm Motel in which she took on the duties of cooking, cleaning, pumping gas, doing books, you name it; she could do it. During her lifetime Nana was a member of the Royal Purple and the Lion’s Club. Margaret is predeceased by her husband of 58 years Pieter Van der Veen and is survived by her sisters Diane Olynyk, Charlotte Tetreault and Helen Hindmarsh, sister-in-law Addie Jackson, son Garry Van der Veen (Sandra Armstrong) and daughter Karen Van der Veen-McNabb (Bob McNabb).

Joseph (Joe) Dorval passed away peacefully on January 21, 2016 at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital with family and friends at his side. Joe was predeceased by his father Len. He is survived by his mother Berta, his siblings Jim (Kathy), Bett, Mike (Kathy), Elaine (Brad), Lea-Ann, Barry (Ann), and Pat (Allithia) and his many nieces and nephews. Joe also leaves behind his dear friend Des (Moose Jaw) and many other wonderful friends, new and old, from Ft. Nelson to Mexico! Joe was born in Lethbridge, Alberta, but he spent his childhood on the Sunshine Coast and his teen years in Fort St. John. Joe worked in construction with BC Hydro and then in the oil patch until he returned to school to become a substance abuse counselor. When health issues forced Joe into an early retirement, he moved to Vernon, the place where Joe really found his rhythm. Soon after his arrival, Joe immersed himself in the community, connecting with old friends and making new ones. He was a tireless volunteer at the street clinic run by NOYFSS. His passion to help those on the margins of society eventually blossomed into Together for Christmas, Vernon’s annual Christmas meal for those who have nowhere else to go on December 25, an event he co-founded and organized with his good friend Ron Birch. While in Vernon, Joe also rekindled his connection to his faith. He was an active member of the St James parish, regularly helping out with events — especially if it involved cooking, another of his passions. He joined the Knights of Columbus and took an active role in the local council. A prayer service will be held on Thursday, January 28, 2016 at 7:00 PM at St. James Catholic Church. A funeral mass will be held there on Friday, January 29, 2016 at 1:00 PM, with Father Dale Normandeau as Celebrant. A reception to celebrate Joe’s life will be held in the Parish Centre immediately following the mass. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in Joe’s memory to Together for Christmas or to NOYFSS. Arrangements have been entrusted to Vernon Funeral Home, Phone: 250 542 0155.

B.C.’s winter wonderland still surrounds us

appy new year to everyone and I hope you had a safe, wonderful Christmas season with loved ones. I want to remind everyone who ventures on our roads that winter is still upon us and it is our responsibility to drive safely and be prepared for harsh conditions.

Winter driving can pose many risks and safety concerns for the residents of the Shuswap. It is important to prepare ourselves for the coming winter months and prevent problems before they occur by making your vehicle winter-ready. The roads have often been slick this

winter, so it is important to slow down and plan your trip ahead of time. Check road conditions, avoid driving when conditions are hazardous and ensure your winter tires have been installed and inspected. Winter tires have been defined as those labelled with either the mountain snowflake

symbol or the mud and snow (M+S) symbol. Winter tires must be in good condition with a minimum tread depth of 3.5 millimetres. Drivers who do not have the proper winter tires on their vehicle on the designated routes can receive a fine of $121. Drivers who do not have the minimum tread depth

Taylor weighs in on tax Universities in the U.S. on the B.C. carbon tax experience, and is looking forward to providing policy advice to B.C. on where to go from here. The B.C. tax has been frozen at $30 a tonne since 2013, adding about seven cents to the price of a litre of gasoline with similar increases for natural gas and other heating fuels. Taylor is the latest of a series of special advisors to Clark, after former Encana CEO Gwyn Morgan and former Canfor and Finning executive Jim Shepard. Taylor served one term in former premier Gordon Campbell’s cabinet before retiring from politics in late 2008, when she was appointed chair of a new federal government economic advisory panel. Since leaving B.C. politics, Taylor served on the board of directors of the TD Bank and as chancellor of Simon Fraser University.

Former finance minister Carole Taylor has signed on as an advisor to Premier Christy Clark as the B.C. government examines what to do with the carbon tax Taylor introduced in 2008. C l a r k announced the appointment in Vancouver Carole Taylor Monday, saying she will call on Taylor’s experience on advancing the province’s greenhouse gas reduction program. Taylor will work from the premier’s Vancouver office and be paid a nominal one dollar a year. Taylor told reporters she has spoken to Harvard and Stanford

before each trip. Give yourself extra travel time in bad weather. Avoid using overdrive and cruise control on slippery roads. Travel with a fully charged cellphone for emergency situations. This time of year can be especially dangerous with freeze/ thaw cycles that can result in black ice. The roads might look OK, but often they’re not. The same goes for slushy roads. Remember the importance of safe winter driving by being prepared, planning ahead and slowing down. Safe travels. Greg Kyllo is the Shuswap MLA.

Winter tires improve safety by providing better traction in snow, slush and icy conditions – which can happen at any time in the Shuswap and North Okanagan at this time of year. Drivers are also reminded to check tire air pressure frequently, because it decreases in cold weather. Here are some more tips for safe winter driving: Wear your seatbelt. Drive to the road
