Donations kick-start VJH campaign Foundation aims to raise $2.5 million ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Second-hand clothing, ski tickets, cookies. All played a big part in the official launch Thursday of the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation’s Building a Tower of Care Campaign, Phase 2 before a sold-out breakfast crowd at the Prestige Inn. “We are dedicated to raising $2.5 million over the next three years to furnish and equip the sixth and seventh floors of Polson Tower at VJH,” said campaign co-chair Richard Finn, president of Wayside Co. and vice-president of the foundation board. “It’s time for the residents of the North Okanagan to join together in bringing modern inpatient care rooms and enhanced medical equipment to our community.” The total cost of the project to convert the two shelled-in floors into updated patient care rooms is $29.6 million. The province will chip in $21.6 million and the regional hospital district will contribute $5.5 million. The balance will come from the foundation, which has already raised $150,000 toward the goal. The number got a significant boost at the launch Thursday. The Ar mst rong Spallumcheen Healthcare Auxiliary donated $50,000 from funds raised strictly through sales at its Bargain

Bin store in Armstrong, and Vernon Tim Hortons added $31,710 bringing the total raised to more than $230,000. “Since 1995, we’ve donated more than $811,000 to the foundation and nearly $2 million to health-related causes in the North Okanagan,” said Maureen Karran of the auxiliary, accompanied by Marge Burtch. Added Dan Currie, owner of the Tim Hortons stores in Vernon: “We have contributed more than $100,000 over the years. This year’s total is from our Smile Cookie sales in September. We sold more than 15,000 cookies in a week in September and my wife (Jamie) and I matched the sales.” Silver Star Mountain Resort announced that they have given the foundation 5,000 tickets to sell at $20 each for its anticipated opening four days, Nov. 28 to Dec. 1. All proceeds from the voucher sales go to the campaign. The Polson Tower opened in September 2011 and has been a great addition to the North Okanagan. However, more patients than beds has remained a daily issue. The empty sixth and seventh floors will, when finished, have 60 new beds and larger private rooms. “Too many of us in health care have seen patients in less than desirable places,” said campaign co-chairperson Dr. Chris Cunningham, referring to patients being attended to on stretchers in the hospital hallways with no privacy. “With the completion of

the top two floors in the Polson Tower, we will have space for 60 patients to be treated in a modern, stateof-the-art facility with spacious rooms.” Sandra Tully, medical manager at VJH, told the story of a man named Jim, who stayed with his dying wife at her bedside in a cramped room at VJH, sleeping in an upright chair. He declined the hospital’s offer of a bed. “He said, ‘No, if you put the chair in front of the bed, the nurses can’t move around the bed to have access to my wife and I don’t want to disrupt them,’” said Tully. The campaign team was introduced and includes Vernon’s Myrika Godard, wife of Stanley Cup winner Eric Godard, now a coach with the B.C. Hockey

League’s Salmon Arm SilverBacks. “I wanted to join this amazing team because I personally believe that families, visitors, comfort and rest help with the healing process,” said Godard. “I joined this team to help create better hospital rooms, areas for families to visit and a more comfortable hospital stay.” North Okanagan residents can contribute to the campaign by donating to the 26th annual Light A Bulb, which was also launched Thursday. Funds will be designated toward the Tower of Care. Pledge forms will be mailed throughout the North Okanagan next week. Donations are also accepted online at the foundation’s secure website, www.vjhfoundation. org.

Governance bid moves to next stage RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Organizers of a petition are confident there’s broad support for tearing down boundaries in Greater Vernon. As of Thursday, the Society for the Future Governance of Greater Vernon had more than 3,000 names on a petition which urges local and provincial authorities to develop a plan to combine Vernon, Coldstream and Areas B and C into a single entity. “Our ultimate goal was 4,000 but at the end of the day, we always had a base goal to have any authority moving ahead and we’ve reached that,” said Bruce Shepherd, society president. The society hoped to have at least 10 per cent of the voter turnout from the 2011 municipal election. “We are very pleased that we have surpassed 20 per cent of that threshhold in all jurisdictions and still counting,” said Shepherd. Currently, society members are trying to determine the addresses of signatories so interest is known among the four jurisdictions. Once that process is completed, the society will review all of the comments received from residents and determine the next course of action. “We had to assess what kind of broad support there is and now that we have it, we have to plan where we go,” said Shepherd. “Before Christmas, we can then be before the appropriate people to find out what next steps have to be taken.” The society’s goal is to have a referendum

More than 3,000 people have signed a petition calling for a single governance structure to be developed for Greater Vernon. question during the November 2014 civic election asking if residents of Greater Vernon would support a new governance structure. Society members have discussed their plans with the provincial government but Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster insists that the society must first go to local civic leaders to see if there is an interest in moving ahead. “We would see what the result of that is and then we’ll go from there,” said Foster, adding that the provincial government will

not mandate amalgamation on the area. “This is a ground-up, local issue and I’m cautious to be seen as influencing one way or the other, but that is certainly a significant number of signatures,” said Foster. However, Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick points out that there are 45,000 eligible voters in Greater Vernon. “When people come forward, we (council) have to have an open mind but what I’ve heard so far isn’t convincing,” he said of the society’s arguments that a single entity

would create financial and operational efficiencies. Garlick suggests that amalgamation could lead to higher taxes in Vernon and Coldstream. “There is maintenance of the roads in the electoral areas and there would be three (volunteer) fire halls that we would have to change into professional halls,” he said. Garlick says a discussion with provincial officials indicates that a formal study into governance could not be completed by November 2014. Mayor Rob Sawatzky won’t speculate on how Vernon council may respond to a request to pursue a study on amalgamation. “We have our own views but we are part of a collective group,” he said of council making a decision. “We need to see what the final tallies are but they (society) are approaching some significance.” Mike Macnabb, Area C director, is not impressed with the society’s claims that it has 20 per cent of the voter turnout. “Voter turnout is not population,” he said. “It’s a citizen’s right to bring things forward but this (petition) has been vague. There have been no financial figures. Taxes won’t go down and services won’t improve.” Macnabb isn’t sure how many of his constituents support changing governance. “I have not had one call supporting amalgamation but I have had calls from people who say don’t do it,” he said, adding that many of his residents want to protect what they see as the rural character of the jurisdiction.

Directors won’t take a stance on GMOs RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

North Okanagan politicians want assurances genetically modified organisms are safe, but they won’t wade into the contentious debate of whether such products should be used. Despite significant pressure to speak out against genetically modified crops, the Eugene Foisy Regional District of North Okanagan decided Wednesday only to ask the federal government to establish the

appropriate agency to regulate, test and assess the safety of GMO foods in Canada. “The regional district has no authority to take a stance for or against,” said director Eugene Foisy. Director Rob Sawatzky insisted that RDNO can only ask Ottawa to take action and there is no role for local government to play. “We don’t have the tools and we don’t have the responsibilities,” he said. “It’s a mandate of the federal government that’s been dropped in our lap.” The RDNO board had asked its regional agricultural advisory committee to investigate genetically modified organisms and the concerns some residents have about

NEW

Home Office Collections

the potential impact on public health, food security and the environment. However, the advisory committee opted not to make a recommendation and encouraged the regional board to determine any policy direction. “It’s a political issue and many members of the RAAC are volunteers,” said director Mike Macnabb, who chairs the committee. The closest that RDNO may come to taking a stance is amending the official community plan in rural Lumby and Cherryville so it references genetically modified organisms. However, that won’t mean such crops are banned. “It will only be a motherhood statement because we have no jurisdiction,” said Foisy.

News Gallery decision not finalized

Y A D OLI

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

It’s still undetermined which Greater Vernon jurisdictions may rally behind cultural plans. No firm decisions have been made by Area B director Bob Fleming and Area C director Mike Macnabb on whether they will participate in a borrowing referendum for a new art gallery and museum. “I haven’t seen any numbers yet,”said Macnabb of construction and operating costs. “Until I see the numbers, that’s a concern for me.” Mike Macnabb As part of a $30,000 review, consultants will look at cost projections developed by the Greater Vernon Museum and Vernon Public Art Gallery and determine if they are realistic. It’s been suggested that total construction could be $17.9 million while current operating costs could go from $281,846 a year to $429,456. Fleming is reluctant to say if he will take part in a spring referendum, but he is leaning in that direction. “The electoral areas in recent history have been part of all of the arts and culture services,” he said. “I’d like to see what we’re participating in and I haven’t been told what we’re participating in (costs).” Coldstream and Vernon have indicated they would be part of the referendum for a gallery and museum.

It happened a year ago, and Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP are asking the public for information on a hit-and-run death near Grindrod. At about 8:20 p.m. on Nov. 9, 2012, police and ambulance were dispatched to a report of a man laying on the side of the road on Highway 97A and Grandview Bench Road. The victim was identified as John Thomas, 59, of Enderby, a member of Splatsin First Nation. “Mr. Thomas sustained severe injuries and later died in Kelowna hospital,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk, adding that the police investigation determined the injuries to Thomas are consistent with him being struck by a larger vehicle. “The police and members of the Splatsin First Nation are asking anyone who was traveling in the area of Highway 97A and Grandview Bench Road between 8 and 8:30 p.m. one year ago to call them,” said Molendyk. “The police are confident that someone out there has information about this incident, whether it’s having witnessed the event itself or having noticed unexplained damage to a particular vehicle.” Thomas’ family and community want to bring closure to this tragic event. If you can assist, call the RCMP at 250-545-7171 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

An alert North Okanagan police officer helped recover some stolen snowmobiles out of Kelowna. It was 2:45 a.m. on Tuesday when the officer from the rural unit was patrolling Highway 97 in the Westwold area when he noticed a Chevy pickup with B.C. plates pulling an Gord Molendyk enclosed trailer. The vehicle pulled over to the side of the road to let the officer pass. While doing so, the officer

in and a 22-year-old male suspect was located,” said Molendyk. Officers contacted the registered owner of the trailer from Kelowna, and confirmed the trailer was stolen. “He did not know it was gone until he was called, and inside were two snowmobiles as well,” said Molendyk. The four suspects were arrested for possession of stolen property. The three suspects in the vehicle have all since been released on a promise to appear for a court date in January. The driver remains in police custody as he claims to have no fixed address and also has outstanding warrants out of Kelowna.

made a quick check of the plates on the vehicle and trailer, and learned that the registered owner of the trucks and trailer were different. “The officer activated his police lights to check the driver and the vehicle did immediately pull over,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The vehicle then abruptly turned left onto a service road. When the officer pulled up to the truck he noticed the driver had fled on foot. Two men, 26 and 22, and a woman, 28, all from Kelowna, were still in the vehicle. The driver of the vehicle fled on foot towards a nearby feed lot. “The police dog service unit was called

A number of North Okanagan women are among those being honoured with a special police award. The Southeast

District RCMP and the RCMP Veterans Association hosted the Second Man Recognition presentation ceremony Thursday in Kelowna. The RCMP Commissioner of the day, in 2010, approved the creation of the Unpaid Second Man Awards. “This award serves to recognize the sacrifices, dedication and assistance that many spouses provided to the RCMP and their communities

over many years,” said Cpl. Dan Moskaluk, spokesperson for the RCMP. “The dedication shown by these spouses speaks to their complete commitment to their communities and families while posted to limited duration and isolated postings here in British Columbia and other regions of Canada. “A large number of these posting were to “one-man” detachments and in turn these RCMP member spouses

became The Second Man.” Gwen Brown, currently of Vernon, was posted with her husband Const. Joseph Brown (now deceased), to the one-man Queen Charlotte City detachment in 1952. “She, like many of the spouses honoured, were all advised of the integral role that they would play within the detachments that their husbands and families were posted to,” said Moskaluk. Other Vernon

women receiving the award include Mary Dedish, Doreen Duncan, Linda Hill, Judy Howard, Joyce Shaigec and Carolyn Williams, while Mary Anne Shockey and Gail Thiel of Armstrong will also receive the honour. The eldest award recipient is Margaret Jane Callens of Mara, 100, matriarch to three generations of RCMP members and grandmother of current B.C. Deputy Commissioner Craig Callens.

Twenty-five per cent of the funding comes from the village, which is managing and Nick Hodge constructing the project, and the remaining 25 per cent by donations from local organizations and individuals. “Donations have slowed lately and we are still about $1,000 short of that goal,” said Hodge. The project is a collaboration between the village, the Royal Canadian Legion and residents. “Material from the old cenotaph is incorporated into the new patio while benches, planting beds, trees and a paved path to Duke Lane provide a significant upgrade to this important monument,” said Hodge. Donations for the cenotaph project can be dropped off at the Village of Lumby office.

Trail plan deemed premature BONELESS

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

The focus remains on reopening a transportation network many businesses rely on and not creating a recreational trail. Regional District of North Okanagan directors were reluctant Wednesday to show too much support for a trail along Kalamalka and Wood lakes because there is hope the rail line won’t be abandoned and cargo service will continue. “There’s still an option for local businesses to band together,” said director Rob Sawatzky of another party operating the rail line other than Canadian National, which has stated it will not provide a service between Coldstream and Kelowna. Presently, parties interested in acquiring the line for railway operations have until Dec. 2 to make their intentions. If there is no interest from the private sector, the federal and provincial governments will be asked if they want the property. If that doesn’t occur, local government will have between March 5 and April 4 to state if there is interest in acquiring the track. While there was some suggestion Wednesday to back a citizen-driven plan for a recreational trail, RDNO directors decided to hold off until after Dec. 2. “It’s premature because business interests have to be supported first,” said director Bob Fleming. “There are businesses that rely on that line and that should be the first priority.” That view is also supported by members of the Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative. “We support the businesses who rely on the railway,” said spokesperson Brad Clements. However, Clements says that if private companies don’t take over the line, there is a need for the public and local government to ensure the track is a community asset and not sold to developers. “Investing in such a thing will increase the

— Rob Sawatzky liveability of the area,” he said of attracting new residents to the Okanagan and bolstering the economy. “Tourism is the No. 1 employer in the Okanagan.” It could possibly cost between $15 and $25 million to purchase the 50-kilometre track and while government assistance would be required, Clements says his group would also fundraise. RDNO investigated acquiring the now abandoned rail track between Spallumcheen and Grindrod, but that plan was abandoned because of the high price tag. “I like the concept and supporting keeping the corridor but it comes down to economics,” said director Mike Macnabb. While CN is not interested in the track from Coldstream to Kelowna, it has decided to operate the line from Lumby to Kamloops.

Armageddon is nigh

ell, it would appear the Mayans were off by a year and the world is now ending in 2013, which would make sense given the unlucky nature of the number 13. Not that it’s all related to triskaidekaphobia, but how else to explain the world going to hell in a handbasket? First, of course, we go to Toronto, the selfacclaimed centre of the universe where their mayor, Rob Ford, is not having a particularly good week. Roger Knox In case you’ve missed it – how has ANYBODY missed this? – Ford finally admitted that he smoked crack cocaine, less than a year after a Toronto newspaper and online media site said they had a video of the mayor doing crack which Ford denied. The Toronto police chief said he saw the video and didn’t dispute what the media outlets said. Ford then admitted he smoked crack. In a drunken stupor. Cue the media frenzy. Of course, Ford has been asked to resign and, of course, Ford has said no, he’ll stay on until the next election and let the voters decide. I get the feeling they already have. Staying in Ontario, in our nation’s capital, comes word of controversy surrounding the poppy campaign. A number of students from the University of Ottawa have joined something called the Rideau Institute and its white poppy campaign for Remembrance Day. According to one of the students handing out white poppies, “young people don’t want to celebrate war. We want to work for peace.” I gather said student is not a history major.

AT RANDOM

At first this made my blood boil, being the extremely proud grandson and son of First and Second World War veterans. The red poppy doesn’t celebrate war. It’s a symbol of sacrifice and of peace. It then occurred to me that if it wasn’t for the efforts of my grandpa, dad and all Canadian veterans, the students wouldn’t be able to campaign. Irony. My poppy, for the record, will always be red. And everyday should be Remembrance Day. Closer to home, in Langley, we hear that kindergarten students at an elementary school have been banned from playing tag, holding a classmate’s hand and all imaginary play or else they will get sent to the principal’s office. My word. Parents were informed by letter and the ban is only for the kindergarten kids, not the other grades at the school. The “temporary” – though we don’t know the definition of temporary in this case – ban came after some parents expressed concerns about rough play on the playground and some kids were getting hurt. Well of course they were. They’re five. They’re kids. Can’t we, as adults, please just let the kids be kids? The popular suggestion has been to place the kids in bubble wrap. But, knowing some parents, the noise of popping the bubbles will be too much to bear. And, finally, from the athletic world, we discover that the fastest man on the planet, Jamaica’s Usain Bolt, consumed 1,000 McDonald’s McNuggets at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing because “the Chinese food looked odd.” Bolt, naturally, won three gold medals in 2008 in the 100- and 200-metre sprints and the relay while consuming 100 McNuggets a day. He repeated the feat in 2012 in London, though Bolt claims he was eating healthier then, and it does not appear that he ate any McNuggets. Langley school parents must have got to him.

There’s nothing like a good start for a team hoping to achieve victory on the sports field. And, of course, that’s true of any venture looking to gain the support of the community over the long haul. That’s why a combination of generous donations that added up to more than $230,000 was greeted with such enthusiasm at the breakfast launch of Phase 2 of the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation’s Building a Tower of Care Campaign on Thursday at the Prestige Inn. Thanks to the Armstrong Spallumcheen Healthcare Auxiliary, Vernon Tim Hortons and Silver Star Mountain Resort, the three-year campaign to raise $2.5 million to furnish and equip the top two floors of Polson Tower is off to a running start. And that’s great and we hope the entire community – businesses, service groups and individuals – gets on board because this is a marathon not a sprint. Ever since the community helped pressure the provincial government to announce the $29.6 million project in February of this year, it’s been known that North Okanagan residents would also have to contribute to make this muchneeded improvement to the overall health of the region. The province is putting up $21.6 million, the regional hospital district’s share is $5.5 million and the foundation, and that’s where we all come in, needs to come up with $2.5 million to make it happen. So it’s time for all of us who demanded the shelled-in floors to be completed to step up. All proceeds from this year’s Light A Bulb campaign go towards this worthy goal and it would be wonderful to keep a fast start going strong through the holiday season.

A Sensible pitch to sign petition

ensible BC marijuana petitions have been out for just over a month and a half. This is an official, provincewide petition, just like Stop the HST. It has deadlines, and we are required to get a minimum of 10 per cent of registered voters in each of our 85 electoral districts. This grassroots campaign is driven by the people of B.C. for the people - both for medical users, and recreational use. Registered canvassers volunteer daily to sit outside, in various locations, and wait for people to sign the petitions. Most people don't realize how important their signature is. Because of the nature of this petition, most people do not realize that we are out there every day for their children's future. That's why most people I sign in a day are over 60. These folks know the impact of a possible criminal record, or jail time to a family member.

climate change On Oct. 16, in your paper, FP Jordan stated that "Only .04 of one percent of the atmosphere is CO2. How can any reasonable person argue that CO2 is the primary driver of climate change." The .04 per cent number is correct; the CO2 levels have risen from 250 ppm pre-industrial to 400 ppm today, with ppm being "parts per million." But, let's examine his 'reasonable person' conclusion. Small concentrations of chemicals can cause big impacts. Sarin gas for example is lethal in parts per million. How? CFCs, which were just invented in the 1920s as a refrigerant, caused a giant ozone hole to appear over the Antarctic. This destruction occurred based on miniscule CFC chemical levels, on a percentage basis. Under a stream of ultraviolet radiation, a chlorine molecule (CL) would break off from the CFC chain, attaching to an ozone (O3) molecule to produce CLO and O2. The CLO then quickly breaks down again to chlorine and oxygen. As this cycle repeats thousands of times, a single CL molecule can destroy many ozone molecules. This science is known. After a rapid growth in the Antarctic

ozone hole between 1980 and 1995, a ban on CFCs resulted in a stabilization and small reduction in the size of the hole. CO2 operates in much the same way. Visible light from the sun, at a wavelength of under 4,000 nanometers, passes directly through a CO2 molecule on its way to earth. Heat then radiates back to space as infrared radiation, at wavelengths well over 4,000 nanometers, exciting the CO2 molecules, which capture and radiate the heat, in endless cycles from a single molecule. A significant portion of this recycled heat goes back to earth rather than escape to space. The science of this activity has been known since the 1850s. How can .04 per cent of the atmosphere have a big impact? Mr. Jordan could have added to his argument by stating that molecules are physically separated from each other by large distances on an atomic scale, thus harder yet to 'hit' with radiation. An analogy might be this: Shoot a bullet through one billion layers of molecular thickness. What are the odds that this bullet will hit an object that occupies one billionth of the space in each layer? In fact, pretty good. It's not simple to understand

A couple of days before the bonspiel began, a gentleman came into the club - nobody knew who he was - and asked about this event. Before he left, he donated $200 to be given away at the bonspiel.

City of Vernon Gravel pit draws concern

The City of Vernon will be constructing a sidewalk on 39 Avenue, west of 33 Street. The work will include new curb and sidewalk. As a result of this work, there will be construction activities in the area for a period of approximately 2 weeks (November 8 - 22). Expect short delays. For further information please call City of Vernon Municipal Technican I, John Box at 250-550-3549.

There’s strong opposition to a proposed gravel pit in Oyama but the project could still proceed. Lake Country council voted Tuesday not to support a non-farm use application for soil removal on Old Mission Road and that a temporary permit for crushing and screening of gravel not be approved. “Under our community plan, we won’t open a new pit unless there is a demonstrated need and the applicant didn’t Owen Dickie prove that point,” said Coun. Owen Dickie. However, the provincial Agricultural Land Reserve could still sanction a non-farm use within the Agricultural Land Reserve, while the Ministry of Mines could allow the proposed gravel pit to proceed. “They (ALC) can still say yes or no. I am optimistic they will say no,” said Dickie based on the

concerns coming from the district and the community. The municipality’s control over gravel extraction is limited. “We only have a say on the crushing and processing aspect,” said Mayor James Baker. The applicant has insisted that the construction sector requires gravel and a location in Oyama would require less hauling and have a reduced environmental footprint. However, residents have expressed concern about large trucks on Old Mission Road, which is narrow. It has also been suggested that gravel extraction could negatively impact nearby fruit production. “There have been complaints about dust getting on to peaches and settling on to the leaves and blossoms on trees,” said Dickie, adding that there is also a concern about existing gravel pits being reclaimed. “We have to recognize that gravel is a valuable commodity but they tend to be an eyesore and there is a downside to having a pit in your neighbourhood.”

RDNO declined offers of financial incentives, and all RDNO member municipalities and electoral areas were issued RFPs except for Spallumcheen, which runs its own program, and Area E. MMBC also issued RFPs for post-collection services as well as depot and multi-family collection services. “We’re not sure what’s going to happen until January,” said Nicole Kohnert, RDNO’s manager of environmental services. “We won’t know who is collecting or processing until that time.” As May 19, 2014 is the start of the MMBC program, that’s why council voted to negotiate an extension with Tip-It Waste Solutions until May 16, 2014.

Silver Star school keeping pace

Welcomes

VERNON

roger knox Morning Star Staff

Dave Unrau has two good reasons for enthusiastically signing up to be involved with Silver Star Elementary School’s pace car program. The worship director at East Hill Community Church wants his church to be a good neighbour. And Unrau is also the parent of a Silver Star student. “Our church has heard that the safety of Silver Star students is very important,” said Unrau at the official launch of the program at the school Tuesday morning. “As a parent, I expect my son to be able to walk to school safely. I don’t think safety is an option. I think it’s a right. I like the pace car program. It’s something we as parents can do now. It’s up to us to set the example for others to follow.” The pace car program is a locally delivered, nationwide program that focuses on raising awareness around speed reduction in the community, especially in school zones and pedestrian-dense areas. Parents sign pledge sheets when joining the program and receive a window decal or bumper sticker to display on their vehicles. Silver Star becomes the second Vernon school to take part in the pace car program, joining Okanagan Landing Elementary. “We’ve had many close calls due to speeding in the school zones,” said Melissa Verleg, Silver Star parent advisory council spokesperson. “We’re hoping the pace car program will slow traffic down and make it safer for our students walking to and from school.” Silver Star principal Tracy Godfrey joined Vernon Mayor Rob Sawatzky and Coun. Patrick Nicol in walking with about 30 students and parents from Lakeview Park to the school to officially kickoff the program.

Curt Jensen

Lee Casperson, General Manager of Vernon Kia is excited to announce the appointment of Curt Jensen as Sales Manager for the Vernon Kia team. Curt has lived in Vernon for the past 4 years & loves the Okanagan Valley lifestyle. Curt has been in the automotive industry for years and his priority has always been customer satisfaction driven. He is also known around town as “Culinary Curt”, joining Brian and Betty each Monday morning at 105.7 SunFM. Curt also enjoys the outdoors, camping, and fishing with his family as well as playing hockey.

Vernon Mayor Rob Sawatzky (from left), Silver Star Elementary principal Tracy Godfrey and City of Vernon Community Policing Office coordinator Rachael Zubick lead a group of students and parents to the school from Lakeview Park Tuesday to launch the pace car program. “We’re excited about the pace car program,” said Godfrey. “Research in other cities has shown that this program helps reduce speeds at school zones which ultimately will improve safety for our students.”

Added Sawatzky: “The East Hill neighbourhood was included because of active travel plans worked on by UBC Okanagan, Interior Health and the City of Vernon. Silver Stare Elementary is ideal for

the program because of the nature of the neighbourhood. It’s relatively compact. The whole catchment area is within one-and-a-half kilometres. That’s all walkable.” A handful of students displayed a banner

They were looking for some community service projects to do with the girls and felt this was a great way to give back.

Any plans to create a regional parks system will find Enderby sitting on the sidelines. City council decided Monday not to participate in a regional parkland legacy fund being proposed by the Regional District of North Okanagan. “The city has no regional park potential and we are already involved in a sub-regional function with Area F,” said Mayor Howie Cyr. As part of the process, RDNO has investigated the system used by the Regional District of Central Okanagan in which member communities provide funds to purchase and maintain lands of regional significance. Presently, the six municipalities within RDNO are being asked if they are interested in the concept. “The electoral area directors on Oct. 4 pro-

vided support in principle for the establishment of the legacy fund,” said Anthony Kittel, RDNO’s regional growth strategy co-ordinator. However, Cyr insists that Enderby must consider the budget implications when new services are created as well as continuing with existing programs for residents. “We have other financial pressures like restorative justice and possibly forming a group to look after the (Shuswap) watershed,” he said.

FRUSTRATED WITH FRUSTRATED WITH LOOSE DENTURES? LOOSE DENTURES?

Dozens of Okanagan College students attending the Vernon campus have smiles on their faces after awards totaling $41,000 were handed out. Thirty-five students received 58 awards from the Okanagan College Foundation Thursday. “Each one of these students is very deserving of these awards, and awards like this encourage students to do their best in their studies. They are role models for many other students on campus,” said dean Jane Lister. One of those students receiving more than one award was Brian Garvin, a 23-year-old student who is in the second year of his associate of arts degree with plans to become a social worker. Garvin received the R.J. Gillespie Memorial Award, the Rotary Club of Vernon Award, and the Peter and Maria Jakubow Bursary, totaling $2,000. “The generosity blows me away,” said Garvin. “One day I hope I’m in a position to do the same for someone else because it really means a lot.” Over the years, numerous organizations and individuals have established memorial awards, scholarships, and bursaries, including groups like the Rotary Club of Vernon, Valley First Credit Union, and the Community Foundation of the North Okanagan.

The fourth annual Titz-elation at Ex Nihilo Vineyards Okanagan Valley successfully raised $9,500 for the BC Cancer Foundation in Kelowna. Ex Nihilo Vineyards has created a unique, fun event unlike any other to bring women together in a festive atmosphere in support of the local program Managing Life with Cancer, and to Revolutionary Brachytherapy for Breast Cancer at the BC Cancer Agency in Kelowna. Titz-Elation was held at Ex Nihilo Vineyards in Lake Country on Oct. 19. Managing Life with Cancer is a program offered at the BC Cancer Agency’s Centre for the Southern Interior. This very special program offers support and counseling to anyone who has been diagnosed with any form of cancer. Past participants have found it key to the success of their treatments. The event has evolved out of inspiration from losing someone close to us to cancer; and wanting to help others through their journeys with cancer. “I had a very special aunt who passed away at the age of 48 from cancer that had originated as breast cancer,” said Decoa Harder, proprietor of Ex Nihilo. Titz-Eation is a women’s only costume event that included dinner by Routes Grill, Ex Nihilo Wine, cocktails from Urban Distilleries, music by DJ Krucial K, auction items from a host of wonderful sponsors including a helicopter wine tour from Valhalla Helicopters. Blenz Coffee and the Lake Country Fire Department teamed together to provide all guests a safe ride home. Over the last four years Titz-elation has raised $34,000 for the BC Cancer Foundation.

Delegates attending a special general meeting of the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association Monday were split on how drastically they wish to change their ‘parliament’ in light of changing times. The BCFGA executive called the meeting with a series of proposals to reorganize the 124-year-old organization. Although growers readily agreed to change the date of their annual general meeting, they were unwilling to permit orchard operators to allow their spouses,

“There’s nothing stopping younger members of a family from being involved.” — Sam DiMaria

daughters, sons, daughters-in-law or sonsin-law to vote in their stead. That motion was tabled for clarification prior to the next agm after an hour of heated debate. The agm is to be held prior to March 1, 2014. Grower Sam DiMaria called it a ‘slippery slope,’ that doesn’t

require that those voting have any accountability to the industry. Although BCFGA president Jeet Dukhia said it was about succession within the industry, DiMaria said that was a red herring. “There’s nothing stopping younger members of a family from being involved now.” And, they defeated a motion calling for multi-year terms for executive members, citing concerns about election of a ‘weak or bad’ member, then being stuck with that person for two years. Because of concerns about proportional representation, they also tabled a motion to set a fixed number of delegates. The number of delegates currently is based on the acreage in production, rather than

on a fixed number of delegates from different geographic regions. Growers did agree to reduce the number of regions, from four to two, a reflection of the reduced orchard acreage in the valley and to simplify the current system. In a discussion about getting rid of the delegate system of electing representatives to vote on motions at the agm, growers told the executive they wanted to keep the current system. Wilf Mennell of Cawston noted that the delegate system helps to educate younger growers about the industry and the system and to help recruit new leaders. Delegates have a vested interest in the industry, so it’s important to keep the delegate system, commented

Brian Porter, a delegate from the Central Okanagan. DiMaria said the delegate system is the more-democratic system. He admitted that delegates don’t always vote the way he wishes them to, but at least each member gets to vote for the delegate they want to represent them at the agm. He questioned the way currently a swarm of growers suddenly appear at the agm to vote for the president and vice-president, yet they haven’t shown up at a meeting all year and know nothing about the issues. A delegate system ensures those voting on policy do know about the issues, he said. They also panned the idea of moving to proxy voting, citing concerns that one individual could end up with dozens or more votes from different members who didn’t want to show up for the meeting. A quorum of delegates turned out for the special meeting, but only about 20 or so of the 500 members came out.

Agricultural land still protected judie steeves Black Press

Despite rumours to the contrary, a spokesman for the minister responsible for the government’s core review, Bill Bennett, says the government is committed to protecting high quality agricultural land. “That will never change,” wrote the unidentified spokesman, when asked why the Agricultural Land Commission was part of the core review process, currently underway within the provincial government. “The over-arching goal of the core review process is to ensure the best possible use of government resources and respect for the interests of taxpayers.”

Liquor policy review engages the public Morning Star Staff

The consultation on B.C.’s liquor laws – one of the most engaging public consultations ever done by the B.C. Government – is now complete. The Liquor Policy Review, led by Parliamentary Secretary John Yap, saw an unprecedented level of engagement with the public, stakeholders and industry groups. After seven weeks of being live, the Liquor Policy Review website saw 76,225 visits, had 4,364 blog comments and 41,195 ratings. The average time spent on the website per visitor was just over eight minutes, showing a high level of interaction with the site’s content. The average amount of time typically spent on a B.C. government website is approximately five minutes. “I would like to thank everyone who took the time to participate in our Liquor Policy Review through the blog, Twitter, direct e-mails, letters or sitting down to speak directly with me,” said Yap. “Every submission was thoughtful and informative. Now it’s my job to sit down to do the hard work of looking at all the input to find recommendations that will improve our laws and grow the economy while keeping health and safety concerns in mind. “Beyond looking further at models of liquor in grocery stores, I expect my final report to touch on many topics, including allowing craft beer and wine to be sold at farmers’ markets, streamlining applications for Special Occasion

Licences and allowing children to accompany their parents at liquor primary establishments such as pubs and legions.” While the comments are now closed, the site will remain active so British Columbians can continue to review the Liquor 101 content, blogs, comments, and stakeholder submissions. During the 87-day consultation phase, Yap held 65 face-to-face meetings with diverse stakeholders throughout the province and engaged with thousands of British Columbians on the website and through social media. He also received more than 3,587 private e-mails and letters and 188 stakeholder submissions for public posting. Between Sept. 14 and Oct. 31, Yap himself tweeted 552 times and #bcliquor was mentioned on Twitter 4,892 times. Over the next few weeks, as Yap prepares his final report, the B.C. government will more closely examine the idea of allowing the sale of beer and wine in grocery stores by studying a number of retail models in other jurisdictions. This information and all liquor policy review feedback will then be gathered and analyzed leading up to the end of November. The final report will include recommendations for making commonsense changes that reflect current lifestyles in a way that achieves a responsible balance between greater consumer convenience, growing our economy and protecting public health and safety.

change banning reapplications within a short time frame, Bullock said that didn’t seem to reduce the sheer volume of applications. He feels it might be necessary to increase the cost of applying. Staff have re-done ALR mapping and worked on digitizing the ALC files so everything is available to the public, while conducting their regular work, he said. “They’ve done an amazing job,” he commented.

A modernizing of the process is long overdue, he added. Once applicants must complete their applications online, and ensure all their paperwork is complete before filing them, the onus will be on applicants to do the legwork, instead of expecting staff to help them, said Bullock. “We’re changing how we do business; we’re working with civic governments and the agriculture community to make the ALR work.”

Morris weaves magic

Murph finds way to Vipers KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

Morning Star Staff/Canadian Curling Association

Jim Cotter went for a jog to jumpstart his Thursday morning in Kitchener, Ont. Vernon’s curling superstar just chilled at his hotel the rest of the day waiting for Thursday night’s A event final against Brad Gushue at the Memorial Auditorium. At stake Thursday night was a berth in Saturday afternoon’s Page playoff A-B game, which will have a spot in the 2013 Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings Canadian Curling Trials, presented by Monsanto, on the line. The Roar of the Rings goes Dec. 1-8 at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg to decide Canada’s men’s and women’s teams for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Cotter, 39, who has former world champion John Morris at skip, and a front end of Tyrel Griffith and Rick Sawatzky, is throwing final rocks for his new-look rink. Morris replaced Jason (Gunner) Gunnlaugson, who is busy in a new career but serving as the team’s fifth when available. “And it’s well-known that Sheet E is tough.

Morris, whose rink is No. 4 seed in the 12-team men’s event.

Told he was traded to the Vernon Vipers, Chase McMurphy loaded up his small black pick-up truck and headed back to Canada. Five days later, the roadrunner known as Murph landed in the Snakes’ den, able and willing to spice up the offence for the final two-thirds of the B.C. Hockey League season. “It was a long drive coming from Nebraska, about 22 hours back home and then six from Calgary to here so I’m been driving since Saturday,” smiled McMurphy, who sipped on Diet Cokes, dined on Subway sandwiches and listened to a variety of music on his cross-country trek. The 19-year-old was with the Tri-City Storm of the U.S. Hockey League. Situated in Kearney, in the northeast corner of Nebraska, population 169,000, the 4-6 Storm average 2,100 fans a game. He played in six tilts with Tri-City. “I was hurt for the first little bit and then I was in and out of the lineup after that,” said McMurphy. “I just wasn’t really happy there and I was excited when I found out I was coming here. First practice was great, I really like it here.” His first practice, Wednesday, was also perhaps the most intense of the season as the Vipers prepare for the first-place West Kelowna Warriors (tonight at Kal Tire Place) and the visiting Prince George Spruce Kings (Saturday night). Associate coach Kris Mallette lost a collision with bruising alternate captain Brendan Persley during a drill and rookies Mark Hamilton and Matty Saharchuk got in a brief scrap. “I stepped into a drill and he blindsided me,” joked Mallette, an enforcer in his Kelowna Rockets’ days. “I got a black eye and had to get new goggles. He says I stepped into him. It’s under review. Then, we have our first practice fight and I miss it.” McMurphy grew up with Vipers Jared Wilson and Riley Guenther, playing with and against them in minor hockey. He spent three years with the Alberta Junior League Calgary Mustangs before headed to Nebraska. “Basically, get out of Canada and experience some other kind of hockey,” he said, when asked why he left Calgary. “It wasn’t really the best for me, but the hockey, compared to the AJ, it was really good. There’s a lot less hitting with more speed and more skill. The BCHL seems to be pretty equivalent to that.” McMurphy rung up 49 goals and 126 career points with the Mustangs, including 21 snipes last season.

Said Viper head coach Jason Williamson: “He’s a big body, a right winger. We were kind of lacking on that right side. He’ll be a top-nine, top-six guy. He’s got some skill, he’s put up numbers so he can be a secondary powerplay guy we can start to use right away and just a guy that adds depth to our lineup.” Williamson, who escaped injury at Wednesday’s fiery practice, expects big things tonight. “Friday’s a first-place showdown. Our guys should be up and ready for that. It’s Parents Weekend so I’m sure our guys will wanna impress in front of Mark Hamilton their families. West Kelowna is very skilled up front so we have to be sound defensively, just make them work and hopefully our work ethic is what we’ve shown earlier this week. “Prince George is a team that is finding ways to win. They’re banged up and they’re missing some key guys so we just gotta go to work Saturday night too.” Hamilton may draw extra attention from the Spruce Kings after he knocked out leading scorer Jake LeBrun in an Oct. 4 game in Prince George. LeBrun has been on injured reserve since. Hamilton, meanwhile, has committed to the University of Maine Black Bears for next season. He had signed with the UMass-Amherst Minutemen in April, 2012 but de-committed last summer when the Minutemen changed coaches. “I was talking to Maine for a bit and I liked everything they had to say,” said Hamilton, a 6-foot-3, 22-pound d-man, whose three goals has him ahead of five Viper forwards. “It’s a good hockey school.” Asked what the Black Bears liked about his style, Hamilton replied.: “Just that I’m physical, kind of a big presence on the blue line back there. They like that I play with a kind of a in-your-face game.” Hamilton helped the Salisbury Crimson Knights win the New England Prep School title last year and was scouted by Williamson at the Under 18 nationals in Pittsburgh. He was rated by NHL Central Scouting but went undrafted. “It’s definitely different from back home, but I love it. I’m starting to get more adapted to it as I play more and more. You can’t beat it. It’s a lot of fun. I’ve got a couple of lucky goals. They don’t ask how, they ask how many. Not a problem.” Hamilton, son of a corrections officer, believes the Vipers can still get better and are starting to get

tighter. He’s high on McMurphy. “He’s quick and he’s pretty big out there which I like. He’ll help us out a lot for sure.” Mallette, who runs the defence, says Hamilton was a touch apprehensive earlier this season but is now easily noticed making an impact. “His game has taken some steps in the right direction. He has decent offensive instincts and he has a mean streak. He’s a very tough kid to play against down low and that’s you want. He should be a strong college player.” SNAKE BITES: Hamilton has two older brothers who played football.

Jones is now one of 10 active players in the country with 100 career points.

Sports Legends golden NFL

Kapak sizzles

Morning Star Staff

Vernon speed skater Connie Kapak dominated the Western Canadian Single Distance Championships last weekend in Saskatoon. Kapak, 14, raced four distances over two days and struck gold in the 200-, 400- and 1,500-metre races. She won silver in the 3,000m, just 76/100th of a second behind a Moose Jaw skater. Kapak, the 2012 North Okanagan Athlete of the Year, earned personal best times in the 200 and 1,500. Enrolled in the High Performance sports program at VSS, Kapak trains regularly at the Capital News Centre in Kelowna with skaters from Nelson, Kamloops, Penticton, Salmon Arm and Kelowna. Next up for Kapak is a short track competition Saturday in Kamloops. She goes to the Canadian short track junior trials, Nov. 15-17 in Richmond.

The North Okanagan Legends edged the host Kelowna Kodiaks 5-4 in the Interior Under 16 Field Lacrosse playoff final Sunday at Glenmore Fields. The Legends won their third straight championship with Steele Pelletier pocketing two goals in the first quarter. Lucas deVries answered for the Kodiaks before Pelletier got his hat trick in the second quarter. Brayden Hoggarth for the Legends and Quinn Stanhope of the Kodiaks traded snipes later in the quarter. The third quarter was scoreless with the Kodiaks scoring two in the last quarter and Hoggarth adding his second, and the winner, for the Legends Both goaltenders, Mykl Drabiuk for the Legends and Jordan Heinrich for the Kodiaks, were fantastic, keeping the crowd on the edge of their seats until the final whistle. The Legends had a bye in the semifinal since they ended league play in first place. Kelowna defeated the Kamloops Rattlers to reach the final. In U12 action, North Okanagan bowed 7-2 to Kamloops with Jacob Brewer and Caden Colmorgen getting the Legend goals and Sorcha Pasco counting one assist. Kelowna toppled Kamloops 10-3 in the final. The U14 Division saw the Legends clip Kamloops 10-9 in the semis before falling 9-3 to Kelowna in the title game. Jake Pelletier collected 4+1 as the Legends won the semifinal. Ethan Dodge scored twice, while Tiege Doughty, Nik Luttmerding and James Francis each added singles.

Panthers shut off Condors Morning Star Staff

The VSS Panthers ambushed the Duchess Park Condors of Prince George 44-0 in junior varsity football playoff action Wednesday night at Hillside Stadium in Kamloops. The Cats (4-2) will host the Robert Bateman Timber Wolves (3-4) of Abbotsford next week (date and time TBA) in Kamloops with the winner earning a provincial semifinal berth. Vernon opening the scoring against the 6-2 Condors on a 13-yard Justin Haverkamp run. Quarterback Keegan Vicklund hit tight end Ben Hladik on a flat pass for the two-point conversion. Later in the first quarter, Vicklund converted on a quarterback keep after a long 40-yard scamper by Haverkamp, who dove in for the two-point convert. The Cats clicked again on a Zack Hyer 72-yard reverse run with Hladik sweeping in for the conversion, making it 24-0. Vicklund, on a short dive

followed by a Hladik reception for the convert, and a strong TD run by Carson Lebrecue, made it 38-0 at the half. “We played a very disciplined game,” said Panther head coach Dave Tetreault. “Assignment football was the goal. All the boys had their job. Our offensive line of Jacob Marshall, Tyler Semeniuk, Tyler Riva, Josh Hyer and Jesse Bielsky did a great job controlling the bigger Condors.” Hladik and Lebrecque recorded seven tackles apiece, while the turnover game was led by Levi Nicholas with an interception and Semeniuk with a fumble recovery. “Our defence has played well all season and we will need to be playing our best next week, especially in pass defence.” The Timber Wolves grounded the Pitt Meadows Marauders 21-6 Wednesday night. Pitt Meadows was 3-2.

Smithson signs with Maple Leafs Morning Star Staff

A month ago, Vernon’s Jerred Smithson was practising with the Junior A Vernon Vipers and pondering his future in pro hockey. He is now property of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Smithson, 34, signed Wednesday a contract for the remainder of the 2013-14 NHL season. The Leafs sent forward Trevor Smith to the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League. Smithson, 34, played seven games with the Marlies this season, posting one goal and eight penalty minutes. He is a 10-year NHL veteran and ranked 13th in the NHL in faceoff percentage (55.4 per cent) last season with Florida and Edmonton. “I’m gonna come in and do my job, play with energy, be a good teammate, help in the faceoff circle, penalty kill, whatever they want,” Smithson told Maple Leaf TV. “I’m excited. It’s a big oppor-

Kirschner sparks Vipers

Kolten Kirschner beat goalie Colton Annis with 38 seconds left as the Vernon Seed Orchard Vipers shaded the Talon Benefit Winterhawks 6-5 in Midget play Sunday at Civic Arena. Kirschner’s tally came shortly after Chris Gallant had levelled the score. The Vipers rung up four quick first-period goals from Liam Semeniuk, Jarett Campbell, Jeff Hiscoe and Gallant before the Winterhawks fought back with a bullet wrister from Darnell Hauca, assisted by Bryce Pyle, and a solo effort by Brian Ferguson. Brennan Seltzer drove to the net and banged home the Hawks’ third goal, while Seltzer buried a rebound of a Pyle shot for the 4-4 equalizer. Rowyn Lewis-Hatherley received an outlet pass from Ferguson and netted the Hawks’ go-ahead snipe. Lewis-Hatherley pocketed four goals and Martin Grenier pulled the hat trick as the Hawks outlasted the Kelowna Predators 12-7 in exhibition action Saturday at Civic. Nick Demetrick added 2+1. Tage Kineshanko supplied four goals as the host Lumby Stars grounded Billy D’s Family Restaurant Xplosion 10-6 in North Okanagan Pee Wee Hockey Super League play Saturday. The Stars, sponsored by Green Velvet Lawn and Tree Care and Kineshanko

Logging Ltd., opened the scoring at 14:57 with a goal from Josh Litven, his first of two, assisted on a nifty pass from Drew Mackenzie. Less than 30 seconds later, Kineshanko broke loose and made it 2-0 at Pat Duke Memorial Arena. Another minute later, Tanner Franje-Gilbert put Lumby up by three. Rory Campbell, Franje-Gilbert and MacKenzie completed the Lumby offence in front of a stellar Michael Preston. Gritty d-man Liam MacLeod fed a gorgeous pass to Kineshanko for his hat-trick, with Kineshanko netting his fourth on a beauty backhand. Liam Reid paced Billy D’s with 2+1, while singles came from Zack Laranjo, Nick Hartwig, and Noah Clarke. The Stevenson Mechanical Thunderbirds toppled the ROGER TEPPER/MORNING STAR Winfield Bruins 8-1 in Pee Talon Benefits Winterhawks’ Richard Thompson right, tries to make a play with the puck in front of Vernon Seed Wee play.

evolving as technology changes. People who engage in cyber-bullying can often be more cruel and aggressive because the Internet gives them a certain level of anonymity. Cyber-bullying can include actions like: n Posting or sharing false information or images online, in e-mails or texts without consent. n Repeatedly sending threatening, mean or insulting messages. n Pretending to be someone else and saying or doing things online that are not true, or are intended to cause harm or damage a person’s reputation. n Pressuring others to exclude someone from a “community” online or offline. To help end cyberbullying: n Do not respond. The bully is looking for a reaction. By not responding, you are taking away their power. n Save the evidence. There is usually physical evidence of cyber-bullying such as harassing messages, threatening text messages or Facebook postings. These can be saved and shown to someone who can help. n Talk to a trusted adult. There are people who will help. It can be a parent, a teacher or a trusted adult. If you are really nervous about saying anything, there is usually a way of reporting the incident anonymously at school. n Be a friend, not a bystander. Watching or forwarding mean messages empowers a bully. If you can, tell bullies to stop or let them know harassment makes people look mean. It is time to let people who bully know their behaviour is unacceptable.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) It’s a good time to make personal changes, but don’t try to get others to follow suit. Leave well enough alone when dealing with friends or family. Interfering in other people’s lives will backfire. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Put on a happy face, and you’ll charm even your most difficult opponent. Your knowledge and innovative approach to matters will capture attention in powerful quarters. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Keep your goals in view. The less you discuss your plans, the easier it will be to avoid interference. Your perspective on things is sound, and you should trust it. A change in the way you feel about someone is likely. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You’ll be tempted to use unusual tactics to get what you want, but you need to be sure of things before you do so. Your intuition will help you figure out what to do and who to trust. A financial dispute will be settled in your favor. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Listen carefully to what others are saying and observe the way people react to you. Don’t make abrupt changes that could cause an emotional situation to spin out of control. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Contribute to a group or organization that can help further your position. Networking and sharing information will lead to a collaborative relationship with someone special. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You should pursue your personal needs without forcing your will on others. Keeping the peace will allow

you the freedom to reach your goals. Take care of a debt that may hamper your success. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Relationships will play a major role in the near future. Nurture the connections that you feel have the most to offer. It’s time to weed out those who hold you back. Romance is highlighted. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Keep a watchful eye on the people most likely to take advantage of you. Problems at home will require you to make a much-needed change. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Show everyone how much fun you can have. Participate in activities that will help you form closer bonds. Social plans that focus on exploring new interests should be put in motion. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Do what’s expected of you and keep moving. Making a fuss or letting your emotions affect your productivity will be your downfall. Adjust to whatever situation you face with good-natured grace.

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.

Is Coming to Size You Up

Frank and Ernest

Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in.

✁

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Chapman is coming to VERNON ON TUESDAY NOV. 19TH to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.”

✁

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder INFERENCES CAN BE WEAK OR STRONG Who said, “We do not learn by inference and deduction and the application of mathematics to philosophy, but by direct intercourse and sympathy”? Interestingly, when hunting suitable quotations for these columns, this is the first I found exactly word for word credited to two different people; in this case, Henry David Thoreau and Richard M. Nixon. Is it possible that Nixon borrowed from Thoreau? Whichever, clearly neither was a bridge player. Our game is full of inferences from which we learn information about a deal. Because someone did something, he must have this or cannot have that.

Today’s deal is a testing example of this. South is in four hearts. West leads the diamond three, dummy’s 10 taking the trick. How should South continue? South has only nine winners: six hearts and three diamonds. He probably needs to guess clubs. However, before doing that, he should draw trumps, cash his diamond tricks and exit with a spade. Here, suppose East wins with his queen and cashes the ace. Then his best play is immediately to shift to a low club. If he does, should South play his jack or king? Probably, though, East will try to cash a third spade. Declarer ruffs, crosses to dummy with a trump, and leads a club up. What is your guess? Why?

Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

This is no certainty, but think back to trick one. West led from a weak queen-high suit. If he had had queenhigh clubs, he might have chosen that suit instead. But if he had ace-high clubs, he would never have led it. So the correct play for declarer is his club jack.

SALES PERSON : Michael

By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.

We should eat more alkaline food. We all know that swimming pools can only work if they are acidic/alkaline neutral. This is still more critical for our body. Basic information to have an alkaline body: USDA now recommended on their website. MY plate.gov 50% should be alkaline food (vegetables, salads, legumes, fruit, berries, mushrooms) 50% can be acidic food (Meat, fish, shellfish, eggs, rice, nuts, cheese. Less or no bread, noodles, cereals, cakes. No sweets, deep frieds.) Most North American diet is 90% acidic food. If you have trouble to achieve at least a 50% in alkaline food and 50% acidic food, consider to take a supplement like Bell Acidic #39 Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive and comes with a guarantee. It helps to have a healthy alkaline balanced body and prevents many discomforts, including indigestion and stomach acid reflux coming up, which a majority of people suffer with. 60 million in North America. We should not ignore that Dr. Otto Warburg M.D. was awarded 2 Nobel Prizes for proving that an alkaline balanced body can absorb up to 20 times more oxygen than an acidic body. Makes our immune system more effective to fight disease-producing bacteria including cancer cells we have in our body every day of our life. < Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore.

Drivers continue to text behind the wheel Morning Star Staff

Some drivers continue to text at the wheel, despite a B.C. law that has banned the use of personal electronic devices while operating a motor vehicle since Jan. 1, 2010. As part of Crime Prevention Week, the province wants to be sure drivers are aware of the well-documented dangers of texting and driving. According to the BC Crime Prevention Association (BCCPA), studies show texting and driving makes a

person 23 times more likely to be involved in a motor vehicle crash. The BCCPA says research has also shown that five seconds of texting at 80 kilometres per hour is equivalent to 91.4 metres of missed road - almost the length of a football field. To avoid the temptation of driving distracted, you can: n Make any calls and send e-mails or texts before beginning to drive. Wait until you have arrived at your destination to continue. n Turn your cell-

phone off or put it somewhere out of reach for the duration of your trip so you will not be tempted to use it while driving. n Let your calls go to voicemail and listen to the messages once you are at your destination and have stopped driving. n Ask your passengers to make or receive calls or text messages for you while driving. n If you must use a personal electronic device while in the car, safely pull over and turn off the car before doing so. If you are caught texting and driving, you may be fined $167 and receive three penalty points. To raise awareness of the problem and work toward stopping the behaviour, the BCCPA has also launched a distracted driving campaign and collected pledges not to text and drive. People who make a pledge receive a thumb band that reads “Texting Kills” to serve as a reminder that it can lead to collisions and potentially death.

Provinces reach pipeline framework deal tom fletcher

Black Press

Premier Christy Clark met Alberta Premier Alison Redford in Vancouver Thursday to announce what they are calling a “framework agreement” for heavy oil pipeline expansion to the West Coast. Alberta agrees to support B.C.’s demand for a revenue share from the oil production and export, as long as it doesn’t come from Alberta’s resource royalties. B.C. agrees to support Alberta’s call for a national energy strategy, Clark and Redford said Tuesday. “Alberta has reached a broader understanding and acceptance of British Columbia’s five conditions, and our province had agreed to join the Canadian Energy Strategy discussions started by Premier Redford,” Clark told reporters at an energy conference in Vancouver. In previous meetings, Redford has been adamant that none of Alberta’s resource royalties from oilsands crude will be shared. B.C. has argued that the oil producers and the federal government have to find a solution to the conditions for approval laid down by Clark. Redford said her proposed national strategy is to address interprovincial projects such as pipelines, recognizing that energy is provincial jurisdiction. “We don’t think this is about quid pro quo or gotcha politics,” Redford said. “This is about putting in place economic models that are going to work for Canada, for each of our economies, and allow for product to move.” Clark said she is pleased that Redford accepted her conditions, and the assurance she gave at their June meeting in Kelowna that B.C. isn’t after Alberta’s resource royalties. B.C. makes substantial royalties from natural gas and hopes to increase that substantially with exports, Clark said. NDP leader Adrian Dix contrasted Tuesday’s statements with Clark’s position before the May election, where the government told the fed-

eral review panel on the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposal it was opposed. NDP environment

critic Spencer Chandra Herbert said B.C. has also changed its position to say oil shipments are “going to happen,

whether by train or by pipeline.” Redford visited B.C. to give a keynote speech to an energy forum

hosted by the Vancouver Board of Trade. The sold-out event included a panel discussion with Redford and

Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson, whose company is proposing to expand its Trans Mountain pipe-

line from Alberta to its Burnaby marine terminal and refineries in Burnaby and Washington.

Time change affects drivers Morning Star Staff

A runner is out for an early morning jog in the rain. The driver of a passing car suddenly slams on their brakes as the runner attempts to cross the road without warning. Both are startled, but unscathed. This near miss could have gone so wrong. Last year, throughout the province, BC Ambulance Service responded to 19 per

cent more calls for pedestrians being hit by cars in the four weeks following the change from daylight savings time to standard time compared to the previous four weeks. In order to help pedestrians stay safe during the dark, wet winter months, BC Ambulance Service recommends the following: For pedestrians:

n Be visible – wear reflective clothing and carry a flashlight; n Be sidelined – use sidewalks where available or walk facing traffic n Be predictable – stay off highways, use crosswalks, be careful walking around hedges, parked cars and busses n Be alert – don’t wear headphones or talk or text on a cellphone n Be defensive –

One of the original boy bands gets its due Music revue pays ode to the timeless tunes of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

He had one of the most distinctive voices of the doo-wop rock ‘n roll era. Jersey boy Frank Valli, a singer in ‘60s-’70s boy band The Four Seasons, hit notes so high they could shatter a beer bottle. His high-pitched vibrato rang true on such timeless songs as Sherry, Walk Like a Man, Big Girls Don’t Cry, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, Who Loves You, December, 1963 (Oh What a Night)... the list is a long one when it comes to these American legends. To a younger generation, Valli is probably best known for singing the title track off the musical film Grease while, more recently, he and The Four Seasons were the subjects of the 2006 Tony award winning Broadway musical Jersey Boys. There’s no doubt the music, and voice, lives on as the Vegas touring show, OH WHAT A NIGHT! A Musical Tribute To Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons will prove as it makes its way through B.C. this month. It stops at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Thursday. “Frankie had an amazing voice and range. He comes from the same era as Smokey (Robinson) and Diana (Ross), where the voice was simple and conveyed a message. Those voices were instantly recognizable. They are legends that are still going strong,” said George Solomon, a Motown producer and creative consultant who wrote the show. Solomon should know about voices. Not only has he worked with some of the greats (Robinson, Liza Minnelli, George Michael, Harry Connick Jr. and Tina Turner among them), he’s performed some of Valli’s songs himself while doing a solo act in his hometown of Las Vegas. When asked what a singer needs to do to be able to sing like Valli, Solomon has a few suggestions: “Wear extremely tight underwear,” he laughed. “But seriously, it’s important to be well rested to be able to sing like that every night.” That advice came in handy when Solomon, award-winning director/producer Michael Chapman and choreographer Paul Holmquist set out to create their own tribute show to Valli and The Four Seasons

Photo submitted

Cast of OH WHAT A NIGHT! A Musical Tribute To Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons sings all those classic hits at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Nov. 14. five years ago. Solomon got busy writing the script and later they started auditioning actor/singers in Vegas. What started as four men singing all those Four Seasons’ hits in Sin City has now grown to 40 performers bringing the show to stages around the world. The cast tries to stay true to the original recordings without trying to mimic or impersonate The Four Seasons, said Solomon, adding there is no lip syncing in the show. “There is that dynamic range without having to resort to American Idol vocal gymnastics,” said Solomon, adding, “What makes the show unique is that it’s not just about a soloist with three guys, everyone sings lead. The harmonies are what make this music so incredible. We follow the

classics from the ‘60s and the story is communicated in the lyric. They sing the notes that Valli sang.” There is also the obvious confusion that comes with OH WHAT A NIGHT! and the Broadway and touring hit Jersey Boys. Except for the songs, Solomon says there is no comparison between the two. While OH WHAT A NIGHT! is a musical tribute, with some banter between the songs, Jersey Boys is a scripted biography about The Four Seasons’ rise to fame. “We have had Jersey Boys’ fans out to our show and say they love it. Also, because ours is not a biography there is no language in it,” said Solomon, referring to Jersey Boys’ frequent use of the F word. (As the title indicates, the boys were from “Joisey” after all.) “You can bring your child or grandparent to

this show.” The tribute also features 10 releases that are not in Jersey Boys, and that includes Valli’s biggest solo hit, Grease. “People from Mars know Grease, but there are kids out there who don’t know it was a Valli song. We thought it was time to make that known along with the rest of these songs that are so timeless... Their influence was so great, I hope it becomes even greater now,” said Solomon. “This is for people who like good music and entertainment. Even kids who have never heard this music say they loved it once they see the show.” OH WHAT A NIGHT! A Musical Tribute To Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons plays at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Thursday, Nov. 14 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $58.50 at the Ticket Seller, 549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.

hose darn spoilers. They are everywhere these days: On blogs, social network sites, YouTube, Smart phones,

and at the collective watercooler. Despite the spoiler alert tag, people just can’t help themselves. Even though we should

know better, we can’t help in revealing how a story ends, who killed whom, what happened to Mark Darcy in the new Bridget Jones novel,

or where alleged terrorist Nick Brody is hiding on TV’s Homeland. Yes, it’s irksome. That’s why I feel I cannot give you a proper

review of Powerhouse Theatre’s 50th season opening play, Deathtrap. I don’t want to spoil it for you. And besides you can just go see it,

TheaTre review

Kristin Froneman

or look it up on the Internet. After all, the comedy-thriller is one of the longest-running non-musical plays to run on Broadway, and it was written by Ira Levin, author of The Stepford Wives and Rosemary’s Baby, so there’s a ton written up about it. But I suggest you don’t go there. Go to the theatre instead as there are many fun twists and turns in this play-withina-play. The element of surprise is what serves the story. What I can say is if you love the pompous characters from an Agatha Christie novel, you’ll love the lead here in washed-up playwright Sidney Bruhl. Played by the devastatingly funny Jackson Mace, whose facial expressions are worth the admission alone (Mace is on double duty here as he also directs the play), Bruhl is a bitter man who hasn’t had a hit in 18 years since his thriller The Murder Game was staged. All he does is moan about it as he directs his critical tongue towards his doting, “frowning” wife, Myra. In a great turn by Powerhouse newcomer Jennifer Goodsell, Myra/ Goodsell has one heck of a set of lungs on her... Yes, she screams, a few times. (That’s not giving anything away, is it?) as she realizes the horror of her husband’s obsession with writing another hit. Enter young upstart, Clifford Anderson (another great performance from a Powerhouse newcomer, Robert Hillier). He is

one of the “twerps”, as Bruhl calls them, who has taken a writing workshop with Bruhl at the local college. Clifford has a play he wants to show Sidney and so he shows up in his work boots (the kid needs a fashion intervention) in the dead of night at the Bruhls’ home with only one copy of his thriller, Deathtrap. The fun continues as Dutch psychic Helga Ten Dorp (played by the delightful, scene stealing Sybolla Franje), who is staying next door to the Bruhls, stops by for a visit as she has had a vision of someone in pain in the house. This, and more, happens in the first act. The second act plays out more as a whodunit (did someone die? I’m not telling!) as the mystery unravels and the characters get deeper in the mucky muck when Sidney’s lawyer Porter Milgrim (the always reliable Doug Fairweather) arrives with some news and advice for his client. OK, that’s just about all I can say without giving anything else away. Call it vague, but what I can say is you will be entertained and you will laugh at the antics of this crazy bunch. Also to be mentioned is the set, designed by Eugene Leveque, showing the inside of the Bruhls’ rural Connecticut home. Full of antique weaponry, classic posters from past thrillers, framed with post beams and a flagstone fireplace, it serves the eerie setting well especially when lightning strikes. And that’s just a wee spoiler. Deathtrap continues at Powerhouse Theatre tonight and Saturday and Nov. 12 to 16 at 7:30 p.m. with a matinee this Sunday and Saturday, Nov. 16 at 2 p.m. Tickets are at the Ticket Seller, 549-7469, ticketseller.ca.

Game on for worthy adaptation

ender’s Game

hen an alien race known as the Formics invades Earth, an international military is formed to fight them off. For generations the war wages until finally the Formics are driven back to a different planet. Now 70 years later, Formic troops seem to be amassing for a renewed invasion. Chosen as soldiers because of their young nervous systems and pliable neural nets, children and teens have become mankind’s only hope for survival. Ender Wiggin, a boy with strategic gifts and a brilliant mind, is chosen to lead the battle that, it is hoped, will end the war. We say, “Take your nymphs in for some quality programming.” HOWE: Spacetacular. I was expecting a lot less from Ender’s Game than what I had seen from the trailers. It has a very interesting storyline, some nice acting and they don’t go over the top with the special FX. We have said in the past about the waste of 3D in movies and I can’t for the sake of me understand why they didn’t go down that route here, as this could have made it look even more beautiful than it already is. TAYLOR: I liked this film. I had no inkling of the story

before going in, but I enjoyed the way it unfolded and it managed to keep its secrets from me, so the reveal was satisfying. I thought the acting, although simple for everyone except Ender himself, Asa Butterfield (Hugo), was effective. Ender is ultimately empathetic and ends up being used by those in command. Ender considers that usury a betrayal, but it is the kind of betrayal that works in the favour of victory, so although he can understand it, it’s not going to help his distrust of authority. I’m surprisingly already curious about what’s going to happen to Ender in future stories. This fact alone is a strong indicator of a successful film. HOWE: It was also great to see ol’ happy pants back in space action again. It doesn’t matter what role you put him in, Harrison Ford always comes across as a miserable old coot and I love that about him. Be it Han Solo, Indiana Jones or his current role as Colonel Graff, he is

Ender (Asa Butterfield) prepares for zero gravity training under Col. Graff (Harrison Ford). still the best at what he does. TAYLOR: There really isn’t much wrong with the movie, that I can think of: good FX, good acting, interesting story, social commentaries on war, who fights in them and why. It’s not breaking any new ground and there are a few questions raised by the lack of information provided

by the film, not unlike nearly every other film that comes from a novel. I guess the most common grumblings I’ve heard from people who have seen the film is that there wasn’t enough action, but I don’t have a problem with this, as the technology in the story has removed the soldier from the fighting,

which is a commentary of its own accord. The film is deeper than its fans want it to be, I suspect. Maybe they should put more laser blasters in the sequel. — Taylor gives Ender’s Game 4 queens out of 5. — Howe gives it 3.5 space mice out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Miley Cyrus: Bangerz

n her fourth album, singer and wouldbe provocateur Miley Cyrus stakes out new territory. The former Disney kid’s desire to be a provocative pop star is better expressed by her confident and husky voice than by lurid and predictable attentionseeking behaviour. Old fans of Hannah Montana have a right to feel dispossessed.

Street SoundS

Dean Gordon-Smith

Positive material like The Climb or Party in the USA doesn’t appear on her fourth album, Bangerz. Cyrus uses the recording to get

her rap chops in on the album’s mix of hip hop, modern country and pop rock. Power ballads are strong in performance and delivery and they’re modified with an electronic hip hop undercurrent. The title cut is a weak track despite Britney Spears’ appearance, or maybe because of it. It’s all thin voices and sound-effected information. There’s not much tune; it’s filler that tries to be bad.

RCA ReCoRds

Miley Cyrus does an about-face with her image on her new album, Bangerz. 4X4 is a rebel stomp, Miley style. After this mischievous song, more big ballads are in order. That’s smart, as her slightly raspy voice sits well in that style. Wrecking Ball is the most ambitious song of the lot and is easily the best performance of the album. It’s got a modern country influence which Cyrus adorns with an emotionally over-extended vocal performance. Her hip hop/rap excursions are technically on, but the content and conviction appear contrived. Love Money Party is a robotic and flat example. Some of this is due to the kitchen sink production esthetic

of Cyrus’ team of studio gurus. Drive, another hip hop/country-rock ballad, makes effective use of the big beats and samples to achieve a melodramatic atmosphere. FU (featuring French Montana) is more of this original sounding hybrid with Cyrus coming across like an amped-up Nancy Sinatra. Its snotty title doesn’t take away from a solid performance. After all the media frenzy surrounding Cyrus, it’s obvious she was looking for an image change. It’s also clear that all that was unnecessary. The album is enough proof to signal a style shift.

Women of all ages are invited to Shake Your Beauty Nov. 23, a fundraiser for the Family Resource Centre’s women’s programs.

Dancing for a good cause Morning Star Staff

Women are invited to come to Shake Your Beauty with friends, daughters, sisters, mothers, grandmothers, or just on their own. Taking place Nov. 23, the annual fundraiser will support the costs of providing women’s programs at the Family Resource Centre. “They might be hesitant at first but they leave laughing, pleasantly tired and many of them talking about taking more dance lessons,” said

Debbie Larson, African dance instructor and organizer of the event. “No experience is necessary and women of all ages, shapes and sizes and different physical conditions come. “They can do as little or as much as they want to. The idea is to have fun and learn about some of the different kinds of dance in our community.” As well, there will be instruction in belly dancing, Polynesian dance and at the end, relaxing yoga stretches. “The women find out that

dancing makes them feel good. The music does something. When we hear a beat, we want to move to it. Women always comment on what fun they’ve had and ask for more,” said Larson. “I so appreciate the women who volunteer their time to instruct. They come because they love dancing and want to share it with other women.” There will be four one-hour dance sessions with 15-minute breaks between. A light lunch of fruit, bagels and drinks is

provided. Shake Your Beauty takes place Nov. 23 at CMHA, 310028th Ave., Vernon. Doors open at 9:30 a.m., with dancing starting at 10 a.m. and the day finishing at 2:45 p.m. Participants are asked to wear loose, comfortable clothing and bring a yoga mat if they have one. The cost is $20 and pre-registration is required because space is limited. For more information and registration, call 250-545-3390.

Local author looks at The Tests of Time

Morning Star Staff

Sid Bell has studied the Bible for more than 30 years and the Vernon author’s latest book offers a whole new way of experiencing and understanding God. In The Tests of Time, Bell offers thoughtprovoking insights that allow readers to get a full understanding of how humanity today has evolved and how society has taken its current form and shape. “Not all those who read it will agree with the interpretation that I have pre-

sented here and have finally come to believe,” said Bell. “I have tried to establish credence to my interpretation by providing scripture reference for the information provided here.” The Tests of Time provides readers with guidance as they delve deep into a full understanding of God, humanity and faith. “Whether for quiet introspection or group discussions, the contents of this book significantly open the doors to spiritual awakening,” said Bell, also the author

of Home on the Big Salmon. In her review, author Gloria Antypowich said the book is written in an easy-to-understand way, with spiritual quotes that support Bell’s theories. “I can honestly recommend this book to anyone who is seeking more knowledge about the scripture,” she said. The Tests of Time is published by Xlibris and is available through Bell’s Web site at www.cedarbell.104.com and at Amazon.

The Doctrine of the Trinity: The early Fathers of the Apostacy: Athanasius, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas are roughly 1000 years after Christ. The Encyclopedia Britannica tell us Augustine fused the religion of the New Testament with the Platonic tradition of Greek philosophy. The Encyclopedia Judaica comments on the Christian doctrine of the Trinity: “Jewish thinkers rejected the Trinity categorically as a denial of the Divine unity.” It is a gross untruth to state that the Apostles Creed taught Trinitarian doctrine. The Two Babylons, by the Rev. Alexander Hyslop, shows with great detail that the doctrine of the Trinity derives from the ancient pagan religion of Egypt and Babylon. The doctrine of the Trinity is everything but “a holy sacrament and a blessing and comforting doctrine.” It is a heresy “as old as the fathers of lies,” the belief of which will deny believers forever of any saving relationship with our God, through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. John 8:32: “Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.”

day we married. She’s extremely attractive. The problem? She has no sex drive. She never really has. But in the past few years, her cold shoulders seem much more pronounced. We currently have sex maybe once every two weeks. She seems to enjoy it once things get rolling. But when I ask why she prefers such infrequent encounters, she says “it’s too much work” and she “doesn’t have the need for it” like I do. The two times per month are great. But the other 28 days are frustrating. I would like more intimacy in our marriage and have asked her for it. But it doesn’t seem to be an issue with her, and she’s not particularly sensitive to my needs. Any advice would be appreciated. — Frustrated in South Dakota Dear Frustrated:

annie's mailbox

Kathy Mitchell & MarcySugar

Since your wife started marriage with a diminished libido, it’s unlikely to have improved at this point. Please ask her to discuss this with her doctor in order to strengthen your marriage. She should be willing to make the effort, but if she refuses to address this, we hope you will not make sex the focus of your relationship. If your wife has other qualities that make her a good partner, try to concentrate on those. We know many folks — male and female — would be thrilled to have sex twice a month. Intimacy is important,

but it isn’t everything. Dear Annie: As a self-employed hairstylist facing the upcoming flu season, I would like to speak on behalf of all personal service providers. Most of us work on a commission basis and do not have sick leave. If we are not at work, we don’t get paid. If we get sick from clients, we miss work and run the risk of infecting our fellow employees and our families. Last year my Christmas holiday was ruined when I became sick because clients with fevers dragged themselves to the salon to get their hair done. Several coughed right in my face. They’ve taken every over-thecounter drug on the market and can hardly keep their eyes open, but still think it’s OK to sit in my chair. If your child is too sick to go to school, please don’t decide it’s

a good day to get their hair cut because they’re home anyway. If you are sick (sore throat, coughing, fever), please respect us and stay home. If you come in anyway, and we can see that you are sick, do not get insulted and storm off when we say we will not be able to perform your service that day. We’ll be happy to do it when you are better. — Stylist Trying To Stay Well Dear Stylist: Thank you for reminding people that we each have a responsibility to take our health and that of others seriously. If you have a fever, cough, sniffles or other indication that you may be contagious, please stay home. You’ll feel better — and so will everyone else. Dear Annie: I’d suggest to “Any Name in Any City” that whatever is going on between her and her husband

probably has nothing to do with her weight. I agree with you, Annie, that he is a bully and a verbal abuser. My husband, an alcoholic, was both verbally and physically abusive to me when I was a petite 127 pounds after two children. I finally got him into treatment and myself out of the marriage. He dated 13 women in a year and then married a woman twice my size. Something else is going on, and you may never know what it is. Life is short. Get out. — California Please e-mail your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast. net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737-3rd St., Hermosa Beach, Calif. 90254.

Regular maintenance costs are easily figured but some cars can be very expensive if parts have to be brought in from around the world. Once you have a handle on the above, you can narrow your choice. It is important you like the looks of the second most expensive purchase of your life. However, make sure it serves its intended purpose by answering some questions. Typically, how many people do you need to transport and how far? Is there enough stowage space in the cabin and the trunk or luggage compartment? Do you need V8 power or will an economical four-cylinder suffice? Now go and kick some tires at a variety of dealerships and consider multiple brands because they all have much to offer.

Trucks that tempt you to scream ‘yee-hi!’ BC is truck country and there is a multitude of products to pick from whether you are weekend oddjobber or need something to haul your tools to the job site. Oh, yes, and many folks just like trucks! – As somebody who has spent his life around trucks you won’t get any argument from me on that count. In the coming months, in my role as truck writer for Driveway, I will be testing most of what is available in your local dealerships and telling you about the

pros and cons of each. I’ll also be telling you about the latest accessories and we’ll maybe do a little off-roading together. Today, I’ve just picked five trucks to give you some place to start your search for the truck that will suit you best in 2014. The 2014 GMC/Chevy Silverado/Sierra ½ ton pickup has gone through some monumental changes this year. What an improvement over last year with a very comfortable and refined interior

on all trim levels, and three engine choices, the Eco Tec 4.3L V6, 5.3l v8, and the 6.2l V8. With so many changes and enhancements to this vehicle you will really have to wait for my full review on this vehicle in the coming weeks to get the complete picture. 2014 Ford F150 Ecoboost. With more than 100,000 Eco Boost engines produced monthly, you can bet a majority of these engines are finding their way into the 2014 F150 pickup. This truck holds the record in Canada for highest pickup sales, and

at 12.9/9.0 L/100 km (city/highway) it keeps the money in your wallet a little longer. 2014 RAM 1500 EcoDiesel. This is a much-anticipated truck from RAM and is one I am anxious to see. With a 3.0 L V6 Diesel engine with a torqueflite eight speed transmission. Not only will it give you 420 pound feet of torque and plenty of towing capabilities, it will also reduce co2 emissions and run on B20 Biodiesel. It’s a game changer. continued on page B13

The Canadian Choice: compact cars and SUV’S So many cars to choose from, so few words available in this tight space! Yes, I know that’s the complaint of every writer but we truly do have a lot of choice today. And the quality of vehicles is so much higher than it ever was so there is much to celebrate. In the run-up to 2014, I will be testing a lot of what’s new and improved. Today, I’ll just offer you five models to consider adding to your shopping list. 2014 Mazda3 The compact car segment in Canada is the biggest by far, with over 20 percent of all vehicles sold. So, the introduction of the Mazda3 is important because it is currently the fourth best seller in this class. The outgoing car was already one of the best handling cars and now with a lighter and sexier

looking body, this new car is both eye catching and solid on the road. The base engine is a 2.0L 4-cylinder with 155hp, thanks to direct injection. The larger 2.5L engine puts out a healthy 184hp. It is the interior buyers will care most about, and the Mazda3 is a nice surprise, due to class leading available options and a high level of finish. Starting at $15,995 and running up to $29,895, there is a Mazda3 for all budgets.

www.tireland.ca

2014 Jeep Cherokee can take the overall sales crown away from the Honda Civic. This new 2014 model is made, and partly designed, right here in Canada with our needs in mind. The Corolla now has a longer wheelbase for amazing interior space, especially in the back seat. The dash is wide and flat for ample room and covered in nice looking and feeling materials, plus there is an available centre screen to use for the radio and backup camera. Powering the 2014 Corolla is the same 132hp 1.8L engine from the last model, with one exception. The LE Eco model has a modified valve system to improve fuel economy and pump the power to 140hp. The biggest change is the introduction of a continuously variable transmission for a greater range of gears, improved economy, and a smooth drive. 2014 Volkswagen Golf This new Golf will be made in Mexico along side the Beetle and Jetta sedan and will go on sale in the spring of 2014. It is wider and longer than the last Golf but also significantly lighter and safer. The base engine will be a new turbocharged 1.8L engine with 170hp but don’t worry the TDI diesel is carried over. The sportier GTI trim is fantastic, with an estimated 225hp,

in the Canadian Model, thanks to a new 2.0L turbo engine. The interior materials used inside are almost Audi quality. No price yet but building these new cars inside the NAFTA zone will save money and that will be reflected in the price. 2014 Jeep Cherokee The Cherokee is back and it looks nothing like the boxy truck of old. In fact, this new, small SUV is based on the same Alfa Romeo platform used in the Dodge Dart. It is smooth and quiet and a pleasure to drive. The Cherokee is also the first vehicle in the world to be equipped with a 9-speed automatic transmission. The base engine is a 2.4L 4-cylinder with 184hp or the optional 3.2L V6 with 271hp, for just $1,300 more, offering good value. Not to worry Jeep fans, this new Cherokee is available with three AWD systems. 2014 Nissan Rogue You might notice a trend with my 2014 model choices are all compact cars or compact SUVs. This is the direction Canadians are heading when it comes to buying a new vehicle. With this in mind Nissan has an all-new Rogue compact SUV with enough room inside for three rows of seats and room for 7-passengers. This is practical for people who require extra capacity but don’t want to buy a bigger or more expensive mid-sized or larger SUV. Under the hood is a 2.5L 4-cylinder used in other Nissan products and is matched to a new continually variable transmission featuring more available ratios and reduced friction. The interior is very well executed, with a dash that looks similar to the bigger Pathfinder. Goes on sale just before Christmas. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Five fun and sporty cars at the right price ‘‘

A few pocket rockets available on the market might not compete for the top power specs, but can certainly get the party started..

’’

Alexandra Straub

A vehicle doesn’t have to be exorbitantly expensive, have mega horsepower or a fancy Italian badge on it to be fun to drive. In fact, a lot of people seem to agree with that statement too since there are a few pocket rockets available on the market that might not compete for the top power specs, but can certainly get the party started. Ford Fiesta ST- $24,499 If its exterior colour, say the one clad in Green Envy, doesn’t catch your eye, perhaps its exhaust note will. When you rev 1.6L, 4-cylinder, turbocharged, EcoBoost engine of the Fiesta ST, you’ll probably turn your head. Yes, it’s a subcompact but it doesn’t feel like it when you’re working through the gears of the 6-speed manual transmission. Ford’s newest mini powerhouse comes with a whopping 197 horsepower and 202 lb-ft of torque. It’s the same engine paired with the Focus ST, but in a smaller packaged. Its sport infused suspension, gearbox, phenomenal handling and host of creature comforts sound good to you, it’s even better to drive. You just might make your friends green with envy because you’re

version and has more room. And two more doors! Powering it is a 1.4L, 4-cylinder, MultiAir turbo engine that pumps out 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. Since it’s a bigger car, it feels bigger to drive. But visibility isn’t compromised and there are a couple of great gearboxes to choose from: a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed Euro Twin Clutch automatic transmission. Toyota Corolla- starts at $15,995 No, you’re not reading that wrong. I did include the 2014 Toyota Corolla on my list. Yes, it’s like automotive bread and butter; you always know you’re

having so much fun behind the wheel. Mazda3 Sport- starts at $15,995 For the 2014 model year, Mazda completely overhauls their number-one selling sedan and hatchback: the 3. Expect more mature (but not dated) styling, a driver-focussed cabin and a host of technological gadgetry that makes staying “connected” behind the wheel more user friendly. Of course, without trying to take away focus from the act of driving. Among its tweaked features, you’ll find brand new interior and exterior styling along with the implementation of their high compression ratio engines, better known as SKYACTIV. Two engines and transmissions are offered. There’s the 2.0L, 4-cylinder SKYACTIV engine with a 6-speed manual transmission or an available 6-speed automatic transmissionavailable on either the base GX or mid-grade GS models. It produces 155 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque. Then there’s a 2.5L, 4-cylinder SKYACTIV engine for the GT trim, which only comes with a 6-speed automatic. It generates a healthy 184 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque. Either is a treat to drive with excellent urban or extra urban characteristics. 2014 Fiat 500L- starts at $19,995 For Fiat fans, if the 500 was too small, here’s your answer: the 500L. The longer wheelbase cutie is more practical than the pint-sized

T OU ED R EA ND CL XTE E

BC is truck country 2014 Toyota Tundra. New body style this year, impressive hood and fender design. Toyota has also included a Western themed truck called 1794 Edition, which happens to be the founding year of a Texas ranch where the Tundra plant is now situated. This truck’s interior is covered with Saddle tan brown leather seats and rich maple wood grain panels throughout. The Tundra is powered by a 4.6 Litre or a 5.7 Litre engine. Can it compete with the big boys? – This is the year to see. 2014 RAM ProMaster. After a long run with the Dodge full-size RAM van there was a void in the

angularly-shaped vehicles becoming a trend of the past. Why? Because it has personality. Describing it in one word, I’d say it’s funky. And now, the all-new soul is built on a bigger platform, increasing legroom up front and in the rear. It’s also quieter on the road when revving its 1.6L, 4-cylinder engine. There’s also a 2.0L 4-cylinder available with 164 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque.

getting and it’s very predictable. But with a complete overhaul for 2014, you could say the Japanese manufacturer has added some jam on top to make it sweeter. New styling on the inside and out makes it more desirable to the eyes.

BETTY CLEMENT (nee Major) Dec. 4, 1922 – Oct. 27, 2013

Wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, ferocious bridge player, sharp investor, snappy dresser, loyal defender of those she loved, maker of lifelong friends and eǆpert seamstress of Barbie clothes. BeƩy was both a woman of her era, the ƋuintessenƟal eǆecuƟve wife of the ϱ0’s and ϲ0’s and also an eǆcepƟonally strong and independent woman in her own right. BeƩy was smart, wiƩy, fun and leaned more to the pracƟcal and self suĸcient than the warm and fuǌǌy. Born in ^udbury Ontario to William and Elsie Major, she was big sister to Bill, Jack, Colleen and Pat. Her father, a telegrapher, accepted a job in MaƩawa when BeƩy was ϲ years old, where BeƩy Įnished high school then aƩended Rideau ^treet Convent in OƩawa. AŌer compleƟng her courses she worked at the Bank of Canada and shortly aŌer, she moved to Cooper Cliī to work at IECO. dhere she met the love of her life and married Gordon Clement on Eov 4, 1944. dhey were married ϲϴ years when he passed away in 2012. ^he and Gordon moved to doronto where he taught at the hniversity of doronto. Gordon then joined the Alcan Aluminum Company and they moved to Arvida Yuebec. dhus began their network of friends. A connector of people and a person to whom others gravitated, BeƩy made friendships that lasted a lifeƟme. From northern Yuebec they moved with Alcan to <ingston, Montreal, doronto and Įnally Vernon in 19ϳ3. When they celebrated their ϱ0th anniversary many of their friends from all these ciƟes came to celebrate with them. Although BeƩy enjoyed the domesƟc arts and was a skilled seamstress, kniƩer and “smocker” (a long lost art she thought) she also had a keen Įnancial mind , ran the household Įnances and did the invesƟng. ^he became a highly successful real estate agent in Montreal. ^he conƟnued this career when they moved to Vernon along with geƫng her real estate appraisal licence. In addiƟon to their Alcan friends BeƩy had her group of bridge friends with whom she got together every week for 2ϱ years. Her only rule was no chit chat unƟl aŌer the bidding was done and the cards played͊ ^he was acƟve in the Catholic Woman’s League at ^t. James Church as well as a member of the VJH Hospital Auǆiliary and Board of the Vernon Art Gallery. BeƩy will be fondly remembered and forever missed by her children, Jane (<eith Godfrey), Lachlan (Heather Caravan) and Maureen (Richard ^herwin). BeƩy leaves Įve loving grandchildren, Heather (Andrew Gubbels), Mark, Danielle, Blaise, and Michael, and one precious great grandchild, Jack, as well as her siblings Colleen Blight (George), Pat Robbenhaar (Brant), JusƟce Jack Major (Helene) and was pre-deceased by William Major (Jean). We would like to eǆpress our thanks to the wonderful and caring folks at Canterbury Court where BeƩy leaves many friends. A Funeral Mass will be held at ^t. James Catholic Church Friday Eov.
