The Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP detachment has been cracking down on the local sex trade industry. The initiative came as a result of numerous complaints from the public. “The sex trade was very open and active in Vernon, primarily within a specific area of the downtown core,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “These activities led to numerous complaints by concerned citizens and elected officials. The complaints led to investigations of assaults, property, and mischief-related crimes in the area.” In September, efforts were directed towards the consumers or “Johns.” A total of six men were arrested for communication for the purpose of prostitution and subsequently released for future court dates. Each of the accused is provided an opportunity to attend a seminar commonly referred to as John School, a seminar paid for by the accused, and if they successfully complete the course charges will not be forwarded to Crown counsel. “The intent is to change the behavior of these men,” said Molendyk. In October, officers’ efforts were directed towards the sex trade workers or “Janes.” Six women were arrested for communication for the purpose of prostitution. “The focus of our investigation was to connect the women with community resources in our city,” said Molendyk. “Representatives from Interior Health met with each one of them as part of our community mobilization to provide information relating to community services available to the women for the purpose of assisting them in locating the resources like food, and shelter to enable them to make healthy changes in their lifestyle.” The women will be given the chance to attend a workshop with the Now Society, a sex workers alternative program based out of Kelowna. The program is to assist them in acquiring access to a support network to re-build their lives. Molendyk said the local detachment has a duty to investigate and disrupt the sex trade activity because of complaints and safety concerns. “In part it was to identify those involved on both sides of the industry,” said Molendyk. “It is one of the tools we utilize to disrupt the illicit sex trade. We use it in conjunction with other efforts, including working with partner agencies to meet the overall objectives of: reducing the impact that the illicit sex trade has on public safety in our community.”

Mayor keen to investigate ‘A’ word RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A local politician says Greater Vernon governance should be reviewed simply to clear the air. Rob Sawatzky, Vernon mayor, insists a study into amalgamation would determine whether the benefits of merging four jurisdictions would outweigh any possible negatives. “It’s been the elephant in the room for some time,” he said. “Sometimes studies show no net financial benefit but some citizens will say a streamlined governance process may be worth it.” The Greater Vernon Governance Society has 2,930 signatures on a petition asking local and provincial authorities to develop a plan to combine area jurisdictions into a single entity.

the electoral areas (no 2011 election so based on 2013 referendum results). The turnout for April’s sports complex referendum was 19.5 per cent. “It says that there is more interest in dealing with this matter than many would have anticipated,” said Shepherd. Sawatzky was hoping to see a petition with at least 10 per cent of total registered voters. “It (petition) is an indication of interest but one could debate the strength of the interest,” he said. Jim Garlick, Coldstream mayor, isn’t impressed with the petition. “They fell short of their 4,000 names and this is just six per cent of the total voters,” he said. “I don’t think people are all fired up about this.”

“We believe this is a significant and credible survey of the entire community,” said Bruce Shepherd, society president. Sawatzky won’t say where he personally stands on the issue of amalgamation. “I can’t make up my mind without the necessary information. I wouldn’t want to make an uninformed decision,” he said. Of the 2,930 names, 2,032 are from Vernon, 611 from Coldstream and 287 from the two electoral areas. There are 31,693 total voters in Vernon, 7,424 in Coldstream and 5,550 in Areas B and C. However, the society states a more important factor to consider is how many people voted in 2011 civic elections. Using that formula, the number of signatures compared to the election turnout is 25.3 per cent in Coldstream, 22.9 per cent in Vernon and 23.7 in

Families rally to aid victims overseas Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
As their families overseas have been devastated without food, clothing and shelter due to the destruction of typhoon Haiyan, Vernon’s Filipino community is stepping up to lend a hand. Club Filipino of OkanaganShuswap and North Okanagan Filipino-Canadian Association are urging the larger community to help them raise funds to support those affected by the catastrophic storm, which hit the Philippines Nov. 8. A bake sale will take place Saturday at the Village Green Centre, from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (between CIBC and Bootlegger). Along with donations (tax receipts will be issued for donations $20 and over upon request), commercial baked goods are also being sought. All proceeds will support typhoon emergency response efforts through the Development and Peace charity. Any donations given will also be matched by the Canadian government. Those who cannot attend the fundraiser can also drop donations off at Rosalinda’s Filipino Kitchen or City Furniture. Or contact Angie Miranda, Club Filipino of Okanagan-Shuswap president, at 250-307-6231, or Aurora Munro, president of the North Okanagan Filipino-

Fleming says petition results uninspiring Continued from A1 The society will urge local officials to push ahead with a study and ultimate referendum on amalgamation, and Garlick says his council will consider the request. The society has also discussed the matter with the provincial government but MLA Eric Foster and Premier Christy Clark have both stated that amalgamations are not forced. “They are presumptuous on the clout they carry with the numbers they have,” said Garlick of the society.
Bob Fleming, BX-Swan Lake director, will review the petition results. “It’s uninspiring. They spent that much time and got 2,930 names,” he said. “But I have to look at it because they got close to 3,000 people signed. The jurisdictions will have to sit down and discuss whether we should proceed to the next stage.” Fleming says he is not opposed to a restructure study as a way of providing residents information. Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director, points out that of the 2,930 names on the
in the Tacloban/Samar/Leyte regions. “The biggest concern was loss of communication. We had to rely on news channels and media to see how our loved ones are doing. “A lot of areas are still not reachable.” While his heart goes out to those who have yet to hear from their families (approximately 100,000 people currently living in British Columbia are of Filipino descent), Ramis is touched by the support of Greater Vernon so far. “We’ve received phone calls from complete strangers asking if they can help and that is really touching.” Those sentiments are echoed by Nenette Sharma. “Watching the news, with so little left to the imagination, is truly a reality of desperation and helplessness, almost parallel to death itself,” said Sharma. “But what gives life to this tragedy, is the immediate action taken by all nations unified to attain a common goal – to help their brothers and sisters in need and with no boundaries. “We, the Filipino community of Vernon are deeply touched and grateful for all the support given to our people and our country. We have not lost hope because people like you show there is a wonderful and loving world out there worth living for.”

It (petition) doesn’t represent the needs and desires of people in a jurisdiction.” The petition continues to accept names online. “The society looks forward to developing the next steps in the process to meet our objective with local and provincial authorities in the coming days and weeks,” said Shepherd.

Kendra Cain and David MacBain, of the Salvation Army, get their bell arms ready for the start of this year’s kettle campaign.
Breakfast launches kettle campaign Lisa VanderVeLde Morning Star Staff
A tradition that started in the 1800s with one Salvation Army officer, an iron kettle on a pier in San Francisco, and his goal of cooking up a Christmas meal for the less fortunate has grown into one of the Salvation Army’s main and most recognizable fundraisers. “The Kettle Campaign is a long standing tradition with the Salvation Army and it is an essential part of our fundraising,” said David MacBain, community ministries director of the Salvation Army Vernon. The campaign is being launched at a pancake breakfast by donation at the Talkin’ Donkey Nov. 21 from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., with all funds going to the Salvation Army food
bank and Sunshine Bags. Mayor Rob Sawatzky and the Vernon Vipers will serve coffee and photos can be taken with the Talkin’ Donkey mascot for a $5 donation. “To maintain current services we need to collect $460,000 between the kettles and our mail campaign. “The kettle portion of that goal is $140,000, $15,000 more than we received last year, however since we want to be in a position to expand services as needs arise, to pass that $460,000 target would be a true blessing,” said MacBain. They are always looking for volunteers to operate the kettles for two or three-hour shifts. Anyone who is interested in being a kettle host, can contact Kendra at 250-307-7770.

RCMP are again warning the residents of the North Okanagan to be careful and suspicious because, over the past few weeks, individuals have been around Vernon asking people if they want to purchase 18 carat gold necklaces at a very reduced price. A number of people who bought the items have gone to check out the true value only to learn they are a good fake and are nowhere near the value of what the buyer has paid for the item. “Each year we have people who arrive in our

communities and sell items like stereos, and other electronic equipment and jewelry from vehicles,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “The reason for this is they are there to make a quick dollar off some unsuspecting person looking for a bargain. In all likelihood they do not have a business license to sell in the community either.” Usually the buyer will soon discover the item they bought is not close to the value of the item they were told it was or expected it to be. “And by the time they learn this fact, the sellers have left town not to be found, taking your hardearned money with them,” said Molendyk. The police want to remind people that just because it is a bargain it might not be as good as it sounds. If you shop at a regular business you have some recourse to get customer service or return the item if not satisfied.

Case made for rail trail RICHARD ROLKE
Morning Star Staff
Vernon politicians are being urged to look beyond their boundaries and endorse plans for a recreational corridor. Citizens for an Okanagan Rail Trail has presented council with details of a proposal for a hiking/ biking network along the track from Coldstream to Kelowna if it is abandoned by Canadian National. “We need all communities to agree to this and work in partnership,” said spokesperson Brad Clements, adding that there would be direct social and economic benefits to Vernon if the trail is created. However, Vernon officials are demonstrating some reservations about the issue. “None of it is in the city, so we have no say over it (land use),” said Coun. Catherine Lord. “We are most strongly in support of the concept but it’s not in the city so we have to tread carefully,” added Mayor Rob Sawatzky. Clements describes his group’s concept for a trail if private businesses aren’t successful in resuming freight traffic on the line.
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. Citizens for an Okanagan Rail Trail have received more than 1,236 e-mails from people who support the proposal, and about $30,000 has been raised for a feasibility study. “We are a growing group of volunteers with a dedicated cause,” said Clements, adding that people are willing to donate towards purchase of the property. It has been previously suggested it could cost between $15 and $25 million to purchase the 50-kilometre track. Beyond municipalities, the group is lobbying the federal and provincial governments to get involved to ensure the corridor is a public asset. “We will be sending packages to MLAs and MPs as to why this is important,” he said.

Current focus remains on train freight JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Keeping trains on track remains a priority over efforts to build a trail along the CN railway from Kelowna to Coldstream. Citizens for an Okanagan Rail Trail, a group initiated in the North Okanagan, has been urging local politicians – including Coldstream council – to support the initiative for a recreation corridor. “It connects so many wonderful opportunities,” said spokesperson Brad Clements of the alternate transportation Jim Garlick options such as a trail would create. Although the group is eager to see a trail created, it is first and foremost supportive of railway continuation. “If a party can come forward and operate the railway to support those businesses we will definitely step down,” said Clements. Parties interested in operating the railway have until Dec. 3 to come forward. If no one comes forward, local government will have between March 5 and April 4 to state if there is interest in acquiring the track. In the meantime, a meeting of local mayors is scheduled for Dec. 11. “I’m sure something is going to be coming out of that meeting in terms of direction,” said
Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick. The trail group is also meeting with the Okanagan Indian Band. The District of Coldstream is already working to preserve the future of railway by examining zoning options.

It’s time to talk turkey
s so often happens, a discussion of the domestic arts in the newsroom yesterday has led to some reminiscing about the skills we learned as kids, either in the classroom or from our parents. I studied textiles from Grades 8 to 10, but have done very little sewing since. I did wear the tennis dress I made, but another dress was deemed an absolute failure. Either my teacher was lousy, or I was just inept with a needle and thread, probably the latter. In terms of tangible skills, it was my mother who taught me how to darn a sock, because in Katherine Mortimer her day and even when I was younger, socks were deemed worthy of saving and not simply to be turned into a dusting rag or tossed in the garbage bin. I still have the wooden darning egg my mom gave me, and I have used it many times to fix holes in sweaters. In this throw-away age of newer, shinier and better, it feels good to be able to keep something longer than five minutes. In foods class, we learned how to make a Waldorf salad, which I haven’t made since, and a Greek salad, which was taught to us by our chemistry teacher, who happened to be Greek, and which I still make using his exact method. But most of my cooking skills actually came from my mother: cream whips faster if you chill the bowl and beaters, the secret of folding egg whites, melting chocolate so it doesn’t burn and kneading bread dough so it rises perfectly. One of my specialties was a fettucine dish with caviar and lots of cream, that the late, great food writer James Barber suggested should be preceded with a shot of iced, cold vodka. But the one thing that always remained Mom’s domain was the turkey dinner. I’m sure

I must have helped peel potatoes or carrots or perhaps I set the table, fighting with my siblings as to whose turn it was. I just don’t remember ever learning the intricacies involved in cooking a turkey. My earliest childhood memories are those of my mother on Christmas morning, leaving the giftopening frenzy at some point to get the bird in the oven. It seems to me they used to go in at the crack of dawn. I’m not sure if turkeys have changed over the years, or we eat later in the day now, but my turkey doesn’t start cooking until at least lunch time. I hosted many dinner parties when I first left home, and felt very sophisticated indeed, demonstrating my prowess in the kitchen with everything from escargots to a killer grilled cheese sandwich. But it wasn’t until I cooked my first turkey dinner that I truly felt like a grown-up. Our parents were out of town and so my siblings and I decided we would host Thanksgiving. We neglected to ask about how long to cook the turkey, how to make stuffing and all of the other many details that go into a perfect dinner. And the gravy? It was a vile, pasty mess. Since then, I’ve managed to learn, through trial and error, how to do what is essentially a very simple meal, albeit with an insane amount of prep work and clean-up. Now it’s my dad who comes up with unusual methods of prepping the bird. We’ve yet to deepfry it, but we’ve brined it, and this year we’re going to spatchcock it. And the Brussels sprouts that my mother loathed? I think she’d approve of some of the amazing methods of cooking the bitter little veggies that we’ve mastered: from separating the leaves and tossing with balsamic, to roasting with olive oil, sea salt and pepper, they are works of art to someone like me, who actually loves them, and tolerable to those who don’t. These days, I hope my mom would be proud of how far I’ve come.
The ins and outs of the BC NDP’s 2013 provincial election defeat would bore all but the most hardcore supporter. But there is one good reason to at least acknowledge that the exercise in self-flagellation had to be done, even if you’re not inclined to actually read the party’s 20-page election review. The reason is this: There is no other game in town. Sorry, Conservatives and Greens, the New Democrats have the history, the base and the infrastructure so until something better comes along, they are the province’s best chance at keeping the BC Liberals honest. Right now, the next election isn’t a big concern and the NDP can lick their wounds all they want. Premier Christy Clark is still in the honeymoon phase of her term. She may even have something going for her, having learned some tough lessons from her predecessor, and she’s cleaning house. True, Clark hasn’t been tested much in the legislature but we know what to expect when she finally walks through the door. She’ll defend to the teeth her government’s Core Review of Everything including the Agricultural Land Review, the budget, the throne speech and anything else that’s thrown her way. But one day, even Clark’s government will seem dated. A party too long in power rarely escapes folly, arrogance and scandal. When that day comes, as it will, B.C. will need a thickskinned leader, sharp of retort and without stain to be in fighting mode. The NDP review holds out some hope that this will be the case. Is the party’s review too much “whine” and not enough cheese? Yes, it lacks punch and has a sour smell. But if it puts teeth back in the tiger keeping an eye on our leaders, that will be a good thing. - Black Press

A vibrant city strikes a balance

would like to respond to Pamela Owen’s Nov. 3 letter entitled, “Economic development must be key.” She states, “The original OCP was written at a time when the North Okanagan was experiencing massive growth and the economy was solid. The OCP then reflected the need for control and protection. Today, our economy is struggling. The OCP must reflect the need for economic development.” Our current OCP was adopted in 2008. The OCP is open for review every five years. I would argue that control and protection are required at all times, not just when development is experiencing massive growth. The health of our city relies on a balanced scale. If we focus solely on economic development, the environment can suffer dramatically. If we focus solely on the environment, and deny growth entirely, there may be residents leaving town to find work elsewhere. I think both sides need to work together to grow in a sustainable and environmentally responsible manner. How do we go about developing in a manner that meets the needs of current Vernon residents without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs? We can begin by building up the downtown core. We can easily put the next 10 years of growth into the downtown core. We can create mixed-use neighbourhoods that will enable residents to walk to work, shopping, entertainment
consumers decide It would appear that Mr. Grahn does not know the difference between natural breeding and genetic modification. Natural breeding can only take place between closely related forms of life (e.g. wheat with wheat and not wheat with tomatoes or fish, or soy beans with soy beans and not soy beans with Brazil nuts). Only in this way are the genes that carry the information for all parts of the organism passed down the generations in an orderly way. Genetic modification is a laboratorybased technique that is completely different from natural breeding. Mr. Grahn claims that the farmer should decide whether to accept GM production or not. No, Mr. Grahn, it is us, the GMO opponents and end-consumers of what farmers are growing, who have the right to decide to protect our food supply and what we want to eat. Why do you think companies do not want labelling of GM foods? What are they hiding? Is it maybe because they do know that once labelling is compulsory, nobody will buy GE contaminated foods? The day will come when farmers and beekeepers all over the world will be thankful to us worldwide opponents for having helped to put a stop to this GMO insanity

and recreation. We must build up and stop sprawling out on our valuable land and hillsides. Taxpayers will save a great deal of money on infrastructure if we funnel future growth into the downtown core. Infrastructure costs skyrocket when services like roads, water, sewer lines, sidewalks, etc. must be built far from town and on steep hillsides. It also costs a great deal more to maintain infrastructure far from town. Developing in the downtown core also makes transit more affordable. By creating affordable housing
and having freed them from the biotech industry’s tentacles in their pocket books and from being sued in case of cross pollination. And a final note to all farmers, one day you will realize that we have always been on your side! casey Berlanda on right track With the debate currently going on with the Vernon-Kelowna section of the old rail line, I must have a say. They estimate it will take $10 million to retrofit the line for safety. Sure, I imagine the line doesn’t turn a big profit either, and I certainly can’t foresee it as a commuter train line anytime soon. What it does provide, though, is a critical thread that joins communities, many that are now being isolated by new roadways way up the modern infrastructure ladder. This scenic thread could morph into an economic and social artery if the political and tourism leaders resolve was engaged, all you need is plan for that bed of stone and steel. Generations of businesses will no doubt say this is has been a lifeblood for them, conversely a nemesis for others for lots of different reasons — safety, threat of pollution in the lake, etc. The bottom line always

downtown, we will be able to provide a variety of housing options for young, single workers and families interested in moving to Vernon to work, and for seniors that are ready to move out of their family homes. Residents will be able to walk to work, shops, restaurants, and entertainment. This will take many cars off our roadways, reducing traffic congestion and pollution. Downtown buildings and amenities can be designed to promote social interaction. Local events like Civic Sounds and the Sunshine Festival clearly demonstrate that Vernon residents enjoy social interaction downtown. We must create and preserve well-defined natural spaces and agricultural lands. We must reduce our water use. Another comment in the letter was, “Only with economic development will we be able to have a sustainable and thriving city.” I agree that sustainability must be our goal in all matters put before city council. Economic development can take many forms. Not all projects are beneficial or created equal. A vibrant city is able to strike a balance between economic prosperity, social responsibility and environmental stewardship. Let’s all work towards keeping the scale balanced so we can enjoy the quality of life we have come to expect and often take for granted. Jane Weixl
talks anyway. How do we keep those economic wheels spinning on this ancient rail line all the while doing something for struggling rural areas en route? Create a local tourism entity group that would provide the regional district with the option of a hand-over of the entire easement city-to-city for what should be one of the most iconic rail trails in the entire world. It would rival the best trails around, like Costa Brava, Spain and Queen Charlotte, N.Z. This wouldn’t compete with the KVR trail but only complement, enhancing the Okanagan as destination for family-friendly, active tourism. The amazing section of the KVR from Naramata to Myra Belleview could be first of two days of a leisurely four-day (valueadding) cycle to Vernon. Tell me, where in the world does this opportunity exist of a rail bed easement just sitting primed for recreational use on a series of lakes? With just a simple bicycle, and some hikers, it would morph into an sustainable community asset, with low maintenance infrastructure that would become an iconic lake-country trail, and provide an ongoing lifeblood for land owners and tourism businesses. Studies worldwide have shown that rail
trails can (if done correctly) provide a return of investment for communities far beyond other recreational infrastructure and the bonus of being a healthy, positive thing for connecting our communities for the future. david Lalik

A dog park would make a nice addition to the community, but it’s not going to happen in Armstrong. Elaine Turner wrote a letter requesting that the city create a dog park for owners to let their dogs off-leash in a safe environment. “We have recently been denied access to common school grounds which severely limits responsible dog owners Paul Britton a run for their dogs,” wrote Turner. “I live in a strata and, like many other responsible dog owners that live in like situations, we

would like our dogs to be socialized and be able to run safely off-leash with other dogs.” Coun. Paul Britton, a teacher-counsellor at Armstrong’s Pleasant Valley Secondary School, said it was irresponsible dog owners that resulted in school grounds being off-limits to dogs. “Our kids had to go out and play on those fields,” said Britton. “They are a perfect place for people to have their dogs run around but if they’re not going to be responsible (cleaning up after the dogs). there’s going to be less and less places for them to do that.” The only such place in Armstrong that is dog friendly is the IPE grounds. Council voted unanimously to send a letter to Turner advising her of the dog friendliness at the IPE grounds. Turner has also sent a copy of her letter to Spallumcheen.

A lasting tribute to Canada’s veterans has been unveiled in Lumby. The renovated cenotaph was opened to the public during Monday’s Remembrance Day ceremony. “Congratulations to the Village of Lumby on all of its hard work toward creating a special place in the community to honour our brave veterans,” said Colin Mayes, Okanagan-Shuswap MP. “This site will ensure that the extraordinary deeds of our men and women in uniform will be remembered for generations.” The upgraded site includes a walkway and platform area. The original cairn was replaced with a natural stone boulder mounted on the original base. There are also benches, flagpoles and landscaping.

Parent Advisory Committees (PACs) that support extracurricular school activities, including sports, arts, educational camps and class trips will share almost $12 million in B.C. government community gaming grants this year. B.C. community gaming grants will provide a total of $11,700,000 to 1,470 PACs and $125,000 to 49 District Parent Advisory Committees (DPACs) in communities throughout the province. These committees work with school staff to enhance the educational experience for students at B.C.’s public and independent schools. “The funds will help schools make purchases for items such as sports equipment and musical instruments that provide additional opportunities for students to learn and benefit from their school years,” said Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Coralee Oakes. For example, PACs work with their schools to cover the costs of instruction for curling, tennis and golf through SOAR (Sharing Our Activities and Resources), a program developed by three provincial sport organizations: Curl BC, Tennis BC and British Columbia Golf. Gaming grant applicants must be the PAC or DPAC for a school that delivers the K-12 curriculum, and there must be at least two parents willing to be accountable for the funds. Applicants can contact Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch at 250-387-5311 for advice about applications.

it a couple of options to consider. “The developer (Patrick Place) is now proposing a very generous donation of land adjacent to current city-owned parkland, and he has also thrown in some additions in the way of improvements for a trail system he sees going through the property,” said Coun. Ryan Nitchie. The developer’s proposal is a combination of land, cash and in-kind contributions toward land improvements. The proposal includes more than 22,000 square feet of land valued at $146,297, $18,000 in cash for land improvements and a $2,000 in-kind donation to be used for things like tools, equipment and labour. Coun. Paul Britton called the proposal a “win-win for the city.” “He’s come forward with some proposals that we need to do our due diligence and have a look at,” said Britton. “He’s put in his time and effort. We should find out what we can do.” There are a few stumbling blocks to a proposed trail system including the fact Meighan Creek flows through the centre and would be subject to heavy requirements from the ministry of environment and the department of fisheries and oceans. “We have a bit of an issue regarding the amount of consultation with qualified environment professionals that would be required for this piece of property,” said Nitchie, who motioned to have staff prepare a report which includes proposed costs of a trail system to be constructed at the planned development. The report will be read at the next public meeting, Nov. 25.

Workshop needs support Morning Star Staff
Community support is needed for the eighth annual Children’s Christmas Workshop in Vernon. The event takes place Dec. 14 at the People Place and donations are needed so children low on cash can purchase gifts for their parents, grandparents or that important adult in their life. “We are looking for items a child would like to purchase for mom or dad, things like wallets, tools, gadgets, games, trinkets, jewelry, lotions, candles, decorative items, kitchenware and novelty items,” said Sandra Bradley, a Re/ Max realtor and workshop organizer. “We also need gift bags, wrap, tissue and bows. The items can be used but must look new.” U n w r a p p e d donations can be dropped off at Re/Max, We Care Home Health Services, the People Place, RBC (Polson and Village Green branches), Ladies World Health and Fitness and Vantage One (Okanagan Landing). During the event, parents wait in the kitchen enjoying a cup of Voet’s coffee while high school students escort the children through the store and help them select a gift. The gifts are then wrapped by other volunteers. “The kids get to experience the joy of giving,” said Bradley. “For 10 cents to $1, they can buy a great gift to put under the tree. Any money raised is returned back to the community. It is such a joy watching the pride and smiles on the young children’s faces as carry their purchased gifts back to mom and dad.” More than 60 volunteers help with the event.

41-12 Wednesday. After a tough defensive and scoreless first quarter, Hladik began his magical night. Quarterback Keegan Vicklund threw a pass to the Wolves’ end-zone line that looked like a sure interception. Hladik ripped the ball from the defender and gave the Cats a first down at the Wolves’ five-yards line. Vicklund dove in for the opening score. Hladik caught a dart for the conversion for a 8-0 cat lead. With seven seconds left in the first half, the Wolves looked to run out the clock. Hladik tore the ball from the tailback’s hands running 60 yards to score with no time left

on the clock. Fullback Carson Lebrecque powered in the conversion to give the Cats a 16-0 half-time lead. “Bateman played us tough,” said coach Tetreault. “Our veteran guys, Justin Haverkamp, Zack Hyer, Jesse Bielsky and Liam Boyd, played great on defence. We just found a way to get the job done.” The second half saw Hladik scamper 60 yards on a sweep to give the Cats a commanding 24-0 lead after a Haverkamp plunge for the conversion. The Timberwolves answered back, scoring on a 40-yard sweep.

Snakes drop Midget overtime thriller Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Seed Orchard Snakes lost a 4-3 overtime thriller to Richmond in Monday morning’s semifinal of the eighth annual Seafair Midget C Rec Hockey Ice Breaker. The Snakes were inspired by the grit of Chris Gallant, who was game MVP with one goal and one assist despite battling an off-day trampoline injury. Joseph Tronson and captain Austin Bosquet also scored for the Snakes, who protested the winning goal which appeared to come off a high stick. Vernon opened by slamming Kelowna 8-3 with Adam Fenske pulling the hat trick, Bosquet bagging a deuce and singles going to Ryan Buick, Gallant and Liam Semeniuk in support of Billy Cawthorn, who was in net all weekend. Fred Dyck’s Snakes smothered Seafair 6-1 with stellar play from Cawthorn and offence from Fenske, Brooke Toop, Bosquet, Jarett Campbell, Gallant and Semeniuk. The defensive pairing of Chase Larsen and Nik Negraiff was bold. Vernon battled Kamloops to a 3-3 draw Sunday with Gallant, Lucas Williams and Kolten Kirschner supplying the offence. Kirschner’s father, Brad, won a KitchenAid mixer in the raffle. He plans to re-gift it as a surprise for his wife at Christmas. The Vernon Authentic Plaques and Trophies Autobots ended a trip to a Chilliwack Midget tournament with a 5-4 victory Sunday over the Aldergrove Bruins. Isaiah Wenger and Jene Desjarlais each scored twice for Mike Wagner’s crew, while captain Liam Curran added two helpers. In round-robin play, the Autobots went 1-3, including a couple of hard-fought battles against Chilliwack squads. Goaltender Jared Larsen turned aside 37 shots to lead Vernon to a 2-1 victory over the previously undefeated Chilliwack #5 Saturday night. Lee Brodoway and Desjarlais scored, while Dominic Loosli earned MVP status with a fierce forecheck and an assist. The Autobots challenged Chilliwack #4 to the final buzzer in a 2-1 loss Sunday to close out preliminary play. Goalie and MVP Rowan Wood stopped 31 shots and Curran scored midway through the third period. In earlier games the Autobots lost 4-2 to Ridge Meadows and 7-5 to Penticton after building up a 5-0 lead in the first period. Larsen was named MVP in the Ridge Meadows game while Desjarlais notched the hat trick and MVP against Penticton. The Corbett Office Supply Sharks went 2-1-1 in the Bantam division of the the Seafair tourney, opening by falling 5-3 to Seafair. Sean Howard, Alex Laurila and Nick Mitchell handled the offence in front of Tyler Riva (MVP) and Rhys Larsen. Hedley Larsen’s Sharks then edged the South Delta Thunderbirds 2-1 with d-man and MVP Tyson Sampert getting the winner from the point. Kevin Sullivan had the other goal. The Office Supply crew grounded Langley 3-1 with Sullivan, Howard and hustling Seb Wenger (MVP) supplying snipes.
Howard pulled the hat trick and Sullivan forechecked until he dropped for MVP as the Sharks tied Kamloops 3-3. Laurila had two helpers. In Bantam Super League action, Landon Currie scored four times and Sam Frisby added a hat trick as the DCT Chambers Marauders ambushed the North Okanagan Knights 10-1 Sunday night at the Civic Arena. Josh Bridge, Cole Martin and Finn O’Keefe had singles, while d-man Gaman Nijjar picked up three assists. Goalie Sam Knox was sharp when called upon for the truckers, allowing only a first period goal by Derrian Kobewka, as he went the distance. The Marauders (3-1-1) rallied Saturday night with three third-period goals to earn a 4-4 tie with the Five Star Awards Cougars at Priest Valley Arena. Frisby capped the comeback by netting the equalizer with 3:07 remaining on a set up by Jim Brodoway. Currie, with a pair, and Bridge, unassisted, had the other goals in support of Noah Foufoulas, who made several great stops in the opening period. Maguire Dickinson had two goals while Chris Moore and Travis Aeichele scored unassisted markers for the Cougars, who had Reece Hawthorne and Isaac Waldemaras in goal. Nicholas Mann produced 3+1 as the Cougars iced the Interior Savings Giants 5-1 Sunday. Colton Shaper-Kotter, with a quick wrister that beat Giants’ goalie Dylan Blazek, and Moore, from Jacob Soucy and Travis Aeichele, finished the Cougars’ offence. Keefer Kaempf buried the second rebound past Cougar goalie Reece Hawthorne. In Midget Super League play, the Lumby Stars bowed 9-1 to the Nedco Coyotes before doubling Kelowna 8-4 in exhibition action. Aaron Keryluke provided five goals for Nedco, while Adam Roemer counted 2+5 and Cameron Sawdon rung up five assists. Brett Shaigec and Brett Jewell added singles in a rough affair. Jewell netted 4+3 and Kerryluke scored three times as the Coyotes shelled the Winfield Bruins 16-4. Brandon Magnus and Austin Derkach each had two snipes, while Dusty Beckner left the goaltending pads behind and played out to score once and get an assist. Trey Spanier was marvellous in net and assisted twice. Sponsored by Irly Bird Building Centre Lumby and R.J. Schunter Contracting, Logan Meier counted 2+3 and Kyle Weston earned 1+4 against Kelowna. Reid Hackett, with 1+2, Shale Miller, Jayden Pedersen, Calvin Tourand and Jack O’Neill, completed the attack. Novice exhibition play saw the Vernon Steelers upend the host Kamloops Destroyers 7-3 behind six goals from Deagan McMillan and one from Bryden Murray. “For our first game of the year the boys put in a great effort,” said Vernon coach Trevor Seibel. “The boys skated hard and really took it to Kamloops. The line of Deagan McMillan, Theo Van Wyk and Rielly Beer had strong showings. Centremen Erik Pastro and Austin Seibel played strong two-way games and really neutralized the Kamloops attack.” Matthew Kuhnlein went the distance in goal.

Said Xplosion coach Dan Wilson: “Heat goalie Aiden Spraggs made some big saves in the dying seconds of the game to earn a well-deserved victory for his team.” Morgan pulled the hat trick Saturday as the Xplosion zapped Salmon Arm Salmar Classic Hornets 4-1 at the Shaw Centre. Keenon Jeberg had the other Xplosion snipe. The Butcher Boys Raptors and North Okanagan Black Knights tied 4-4 in Saturday Pee Wee play. Goals by Carter Morris (assists from Chase Batchelor and Brayden Riguidel), Maisun AngHamilton (assist from Nicolas Petty), Petty (assists from Jacob Brewer and Aiden Skinner) and Riguidel (assists by Morris and Batchelor) accounted for the Raptors’ offence. Goalies were Caenen Wisse for the first half, and game MVP Nicholas Maglio for the second half. Tage Kineshanko bagged three goals, while Tanner Franje Gilbert, Liam MacLeod and Drew MacKenzie each scored twice as the Lumby Stars ambushed the Winfield Bruins 13-1. Matthew Yaremcio, Jordan Romailler, Michael Preston and Morgan Holland added singles for the Stars, sponsored by Kineshanko Logging and Green Velvet Lawn & Tree Care.

Brady Crabtree of the Sicamous Eagles breaks towards Knights’ goalie Mitch Profeit in KIJHL action Wednesday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre.

Mitch Profeit recorded 35 saves as the North Okanagan Knights stuffed the Sicamous Eagles 3-0 in Kootenay International Junior Hockey League action Wednesday night before 200 fans at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. Profeit, 17, of Prince George, earned his first shutout of the season while going to 5-2. The 5-foot-10, 210-pounder has a 2.15 goals against average. “He played very well,” said Knights’ head coach Shawn Webb, of Profeit. “We gave a mandate to our goalies to make three more saves and he stopped a breakaway and made a nice move on a two-on-one. He was really aggressive with his stick. We told him to relax and have fun in net. He certainly earned the start Friday night (in Kelowna versus the Chiefs).” Tanner Burns’ fifth of the year, in the first period, boosted the Knights to 9-10-0-1, good for fourth spot in the Okanagan Division. Justin Lange and Brett Hawrys drew assists.
Hawrys (4th) and Mat Lambert (10th) netted second-period snipes 2:13 apart. Lange and Dennon Leibel earned helpers on Hawrys’ goal, while Blake Culbert set up Lambert. Sicamous, who got 36 saves from Kris Joyce, dipped to 9-11-0-2. The Eagles recently added Vernon forward Hayden Pasacreta, 19, to their lineup. He had been playing for the Cold Lake Ice of the North Eastern Alberta Junior B League. Meanwhile, the Vernon Vipers tangle with the Merritt Centennials in B.C. Hockey League play tonight at the Nicola Valley Arena. The Vipers, who traded goalie Michael Stiliadis to the Manitoba League Dauphin Kings for future considerations, are 11-6-2-4 and one point back of the second-place Cents (14-9-1-0) in the Interior Conference. The Vipers host the Cowichan Valley Capitals in a Sunday matinee. The Caps are 11-12-0-1 and fourth in the Island Division.
Panthers use running game Continued from A20
The Panthers responded with Hladik catching a 50-yard bomb from Vicklund to make it 30-6. After a Timberwolve score in the fourth quarter, the attempted onside kick was scooped up by Hladik, who ran 50 yards to paydirt for his fourth touchdown of the night, giving the panthers a 36-12 lead. Bateman added a late TD. Hladik finished the night with 150 yards rushing, while Haverkamp racked up 145 yards on the ground and fullback Carson Lebrecque had 50 yards combined through the air and ground. Defensively, Lebrecque led the Cats with 14 tackles while Haverkamp had
13. Liam Boyd chipped in with seven take downs. “I have coached 25 years,” said Tetreault. “I witnessed a pretty special night by our team and an incredible display by one player, Ben Hladik. He just decided to make plays everywhere. Not only is he good at football, he’s a great kid. He also has great teammates. Both offensive coach Ed Huber and myself had enjoyed coaching this group. They work hard, improve and they are tough. They play ironman football, Panther football.” The senior Panthers battle the Carson Graham Eagles of North Vancouver in quarterfinal action tonight in Kamloops.

Seaton takes Grade 8 titles Morning Star Staff
Seaton boys and girls both won the North Zone Grade 8 volleyball championships Tuesday night. The Sonic boys, coached by Doug Kozak, defeated the Fulton Maroons 2-1 (19-25, 25-20, 15-9) at Seaton. “The highly talented Maroons had us on the run right from the start in the championship game and in the first set, basically served us off the floor,” said Kozak. “We were able to turn the tables on them in the second game and regained our balance enough to take the second set with some relentless hitting from the our middle and outside hitters. The Maroons had some great defensive pickups and scrambles but eventually buckled under our relentless pressure. “The season certainly ended in fine form with an outstanding match from both teams and a great display of sportsmanship from both schools.” The Sonic girls, coached by sisters Gabby Tishenko and Tonia Ghattas, won all three round -robin matches, grounding the Kalamalka Lakers in the battle of 2-0 teams. Seaton then stopped the Revelstoke Avalanche, Shuswap Rams and Kal for their second straight North Zone title. Meanwhile, the Valley Senior AA Boys Championships open today at 1 p.m. with the host Maroons going up against the Sa-Hali Sabres of Kamloops and host Seaton meeting the George Elliot Coyotes of Winfield. The Maroons take on the South Okanagan Hornets at 4:30 and face the Okanagan Mission Huskies at 6:30. Seaton plays Princess Margaret Mustangsof Penticton at 3:20 and the Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops at 5:40. The gold-medal match goes Saturday at 4 p.m. (@ Fulton).

the province’s core review is poised to recommend radically altering the farmland reserve and commission. Dix noted two reviews of the ALC before the election – one by the auditor general in 2010 and a later one ordered by government – led the province to pledge more money to bolster the commission’s work protecting the ALR and reviewing its boundaries. “After the election, they’re doing precisely the opposite and trying to get away with it in secret and improper ways,” Dix said. “That’s a deliberate deception of voters.” Dix said he’s not sure what B.C.’s conflict commissioner can say on Pimm’s conduct, since he’s accused of interfering with the independence of a quasi-judicial body, rather than personally gaining from a conflict-of-interest situation. IntegrityBC executive director Dermod Travis called the referral an attempt by Pimm to buy time, noting the Agricultural Land Commission’s policy statement already clearly states elected officials are limited to specific channels in attempting to influence ALC decisions. “Mr. Pimm is doing little more than forum shopping, hoping to find an opinion somewhere that will exonerate his ‘inappropriate’ actions with the ALC,” Travis said

Chrysler provides $100,000 in scholarships Morning Star Staff
The Chr ysler Foundation has teamed up with 4-H Canada to sponsor 100 scholarships valued at $1,000 each for 4-H members across Canada. 4-H scholarships provide opportunities for Canadian youth to further their education and expand their knowledge in support of the agriculture industry. Members also have opportunities to travel nationally and internationally on exchanges, participate in leadership conferences and apply for additional grants and awards. 4-H Canada works with all provinces to create clubs in local communities and has a track record of developing confident Canadian leaders. 4-H youth from across Canada are eligible to apply for the scholarship if they meet the following criteria: 1. Applicants must be at least 16 years of age as of Jan. 1, 2013; 2. A current 4-H member in good standing; 3. In their final year of high school and have applied to a field of study in the arts, science or business of agriculture; or currently enrolled in postsecondary school and studying arts, science or business of agriculture. Applicants must submit a 500-word essay outlining, “What does being a farmer mean to you?” as well as a letter of reference from a 4-H Club leader. An online application form can currently be found at apply.4h-canada.ca. “This educational initiative supports the cornerstone of what 4-H is about”, said Shannon Benner, CEO of 4-H Canada. “We are very fortunate that the Chrysler Foundation understands the importance of developing responsible and motivated young leaders in Canada. This investment truly embodies the spirit of 4-H leadership as it will have
community impact from coast to coast.” “In its 100-year his-
tory, this is the largest, one-year scholarship program that 4-H has
rolled out,” said Reid Bigland, president and chief executive officer
of Chrysler Canada. The scholarship application process
is now open and the deadline to apply is Jan. 15.
Scholarship winners will be notified in March 2014.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You can play the game with finesse. Each move you make will get you closer to your chosen destination. If you believe in your ability and skill, so will everyone else. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Don’t rely on someone else to finish what you started. You must take ownership of your responsibilities so you can move on to the things you enjoy doing most.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Don’t be afraid to voice your opinion or take on a daunting challenge. If you play to win, you will succeed. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You need a diversion. Look for an interesting way to spend your day. If you interact with people from different backgrounds, you will be enriched by the information you gather. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Question anyone asking for money or help. A snap decision regarding such matters will result in loss. Honest conversation will allow you to offer reasonable solutions. Charity begins at home. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Keep your emotions under control. Overreacting will make matters worse. Listen attentively, but don’t meddle or make promises that you’ll regret. Face facts and make needed changes.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) There is money to be made if you put your ideas into action. What you launch now will take everyone by surprise, leaving an excellent impression and an impact on future possibilities. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Procrastination will lead you in unproductive circles. Make a choice and stick to it before someone complains or takes over. A practical approach will be your best recourse. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Taking part in a project, activity or event will broaden your outlook and your friendships. You’ll draw interest from someone very different from you. Enjoy collaborating with others. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Look at the bright side, whatever transpires today. Being adaptable will help you find solutions as you go along. Guard against foolish mishaps or misunderstandings.

FRUSTRATED WITH FRUSTRATED WITH LOOSE DENTURES? LOOSE DENTURES?
Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder IF PENALIZING, LEAD ACCURATELY The bridge played in a pair tournament can be somewhat artificial. It is no longer just trying to make or break a contract, but it is also working to score better than the other players with your cards. This can result in making close penalty doubles, especially when the opponents are vulnerable, or taking risks for overtricks. This deal was originally played a few years ago. After West opened one spade and East responded one no-trump, South thought about a two-spade Michaels Cue-Bid, showing at least 5-5 in hearts and a minor. But that would have forced his side to
the three-level, and he had a sixth heart. So he reasonably overcalled two hearts. When West doubled, though, South sensed that he was in a bad contract. (This would have gone down two or three, minus 500 or 800.) So South ran to three clubs. Then East, who had two wonderful aces, decided to try for the magic plus 200 on a partscore deal. However, it is all right making sharp penalty doubles; you had also better know what to lead. Which card should West select? There is an excellent guideline here. If your side has the balance of highcard power, the opponents will be trying to score
tricks with their trumps. So the more rounds you can extract, the better. The only winning lead is a trump. Suppose South takes it in his hand and plays his spade. West wins and shifts to a low diamond to give his partner the lead for another round of trumps. In theory, nothing else works.

Throne speech calls for fiscal responsibility
O
n Oct. 16, the governor general of Canada delivered the speech from the throne. It was one of the longest throne speeches ever, and much of what
was said was that your government in Ottawa will continue on our successes of the past eight years, namely, the economic action plan, the cracking down on crime, standing up for
victims of crime, lower taxes, and more investment in Canada’s infrastructure. I read the speech and have highlighted the things you might be interested in, that
are good for you and Canada. Your government is going to balance the budget in 2015. Then we are going to enshrine into law, balanced budget leg-

We will freeze the overall federal operating budget and target reductions to internal government spending. Public service pay and benefit levels will be reasonable, responsible, and in the public interest. Disability and sickday benefits will be reformed to make them
fair and accountable. Our government will continue using modern e-mail systems to be more efficient and move 63 different e-mail systems to one. Our government will introduce legislation to enshrine the One-for One rule in law. That is, for every new regulation added, one must be Colin Mayes removed. We will streamline the Canadian Forces by putting frontline capability before back-office bureaucracy.

This practice has been addressed. Canadians expect government to be cost-effective with their money so our speech from the throne announced our commitment to cost reviews and actions to cut some of the fat. I will continue reviewing further actions in the speech from the throne in subsequent columns. Colin Mayes is the Conservative member of Parliament for Okanagan-Shuswap.

Morning Star Staff
“It’s electronics. It’s lights. It’s dance. It’s a great story.” That’s how radio provocateur/talent judge Howard Stern summed up Lightwire Theater when the New Orleans-based troupe competed in the semifinals of America’s Got Talent in 2012. Fresh on the heels of their breakout success, this innovative company is coming to Vernon Nov. 23 to bring new life to two favourite tales: The Ugly Duckling and The Tortoise and the Hare. “It really is an unforgettable theatrical experience,” said Erin Kennedy, Vernon Performing Arts Centre’s artistic director. “The show’s four performers arrive on stage in complete darkness, leaving only (their) striking electroluminescent puppets visible to the audience.” Producing spectacular visuals using cutting edge technology, moving sculpture and dance, Lightwire Theater is a unique act to say the least. The recipients of the prestigious Jim Henson Foundation Grant, the troupe is able to “erase” their dancers, so that all you see are lit-up charphoto submitted acters flitting about the stage. Lightwire Theater uses electroluminescent puppets, dance and a little magic to present “What you see on stage is just the puppet. It’s a glow-in-the-dark adventure that combines The Ugly Ducking at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Nov. 23.

dance, puppetry and technology,” said Eleanor Carney, who is part of the seven-member cast. With their breakout show, Darwin the Dinosaur, Lightwire is giving new life to the Hans Christian Andersen classic, The Ugly Duckling, which follows in Darwin’s footsteps through the use of electroluminescent puppetry, created by Corbian Visual Arts and Dance. The show also has its important message of acceptance, and combines Aesop’s fable, The Tortoise and the Hare, now more than 2,500 years old, which continues to drive home the timetested adage that “slow and steady wins the race.” With stunning visuals, poignant choreography and creative use of music ranging from classical to jazz to pop, both performances culminate in an hour’s worth of entertainment. They literally bring these classic tales into a new and brilliant light. Lightwire Theater’s The Ugly Duckling and The Tortoise and the Hare stages at 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 23. Tickets are $20/adults, $17/seniors and $15/ students with family pack pricing available. Contact the Ticket Seller box office for details at 250-549-7469 or order online at www.ticketseller.ca.
Writers and activists to speak on social change Vertigo Voices hosts discussion with Occupy protestor and Greenpeace founder
Morning Star Staff
Vertigo Voices welcomes two speakers on social movements and activism on both the local and the international stage, Sunday at Gallery Vertigo. Writer and professor of contemporary literature at Simon Fraser University, Stephen Collis will read from his recent work, including Dispatches from the Occupation, To the Barricades and DECOMP, while Greenpeace co-founder Bill Darnell will present on the goals and successes of Vernon in Transition. Collis is the author of several books of poetry, including On the Material, which was awarded the B.C. Book Prize for poetry, and DECOMP, a collaborative photo-essay and long poem written with Jordan Scott, as well as two books of criticism and a novel. His collection of essays, Dispatches from the Occupation: A History of Change, is a meditation on activist tactics, social movements, and change. It is comprised of short essays as well as critical reflections of change as a larger concept. Part of the Occupy movement, Collis
says he is interested on building on the momentum the Occupy movement stirred. “I think what Occupy did to people was represent that it’s all part of one big puzzle. The whole system is built on inequality,” he said. “The movement introduced a bunch of people to activism and social movement that weren’t involved before.” Although Collis says he admires that the movement had no leader, he believes that organized protest is the way to go. “At the end of the day, you need to get organized, build structures that help you stay organized, but don’t create hierarchical problems,” he said. “I’d like to see a movement raising consciousness about the common, the importance of the shared, and that protects the common. To me, it’s a simple idea.” Collis’ most recent book of poetry, To the Barricades, moves back and forth between historical and contemporary scenes of revolt. These “social lyrics” travel the active line between poetry and revolution. Vernon resident Darnell was part of a small group of activists, historically known as the Don’t Make A Wave Committee. It was Darnell who spontaneously came up with a new moniker during a meeting of the group in 1971. When one member flashed his custom “V” sign with his fingers and said “peace,” Darnell responded with, “make it a green
peace.” The name stuck, and more than 40 years later the group has grown to become the world’s largest, independent environmental organization. “We really touched a chord with people,” said Darnell. “What we were doing gave permission and encouragement for people to do what they need to in their community We kind of inspired them, maybe unleashed them.” Darnell moved to Vernon in 1997 and is now involved in several local groups, including Vernon in Transition, which is aimed at connecting different movements (from the Ribbons of Green Trail Society to the Food Action Society) and affecting positive change. One of the major areas where Darnell sees a need for a global shift is in regards to climate change. “It’s a more difficult thing to wrestle with. It’s not them and us, it’s us. We can’t point fingers. We have to change.” Both men’s presentations will be followed by a discussion on activism and social movements, both locally and internationally, as well as idea sharing for positive change. All are welcome to attend and take part. Doors to Vertigo Voices open at 7 p.m. Ralph Kolewe and readings begin at 7:30 p.m. at Gallery Vertigo, 3001 31 St. #1 upstairs.

Arts Jazz artist plays from Massey Hall to All Saints
GSP
Morning Star Staff
His music has been described as “richly imaginative” and “the best kind of unpredictable.” Juno award winner Steve Bell calls his music “infectious.” On Sunday at 7 p.m., jazz pianist Mike Janzen will take to the stage at All Saints Anglican Church in Vernon for a night of jazz and entertainment you won’t soon forget. Janzen’s latest recording, Try to Remember, received a glowing review from Christopher Loudon of The Jazz Times and the rambunctious track Chim Chim Cheree was debuted by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra at Massey Hall just last year.
Janzen adds his songwriting and smooth tenor vocal to his performance of original songs, combined with interpretations of classic jazz standards and explorative versions of popular songs for an unforgettable and fun evening. He will be joined by special guests, the Karen Wiseman Trio. Wiseman is also a hidden local gem, who will be opening the evening with her velvet voice and trio featuring local virtuosi Jim Leonard on piano and Chris Harwood-Jones on bass. Tickets are $20 in advance and can be purchased at Wentworth Music, Vernon Alliance Church, All Saints Anglican Church or online at janzeninvernon.eventbrite.ca.

Speaker Series
Celine Dion has been Vegas-bound for a long time and Loved Me Back to Life is her first album in six years. Dion’s gawky character never disappears, however, much of it is pushed back or tweaked with sexy images and poses. She’s like the goofy girl down the street but one with a huge hidden talent. She can sing a phone book but the phone book is boring, although this one is well produced and the producers are legion. Some say she’s one of the best singers on the planet. Big claims, but taken on its own, her voice is remarkable in
Street SoundS
Dean Gordon-Smith
its power and ability to emote. Because Dion doesn’t write songs, the songs are there to serve her voice. She needs a big hit and she’s got one with the title song. It’s epic, overwrought and over-the-top with a super human vocal on the chorus that bends reality. Like many of her contemporaries, Dion
has taken a posse – a veritable small army of producers, musicians, songwriters and duet partners. This acquisition works on some levels. Her force-ofnature voice is worked over with a soul diva sound on Water and a Flame, Breakaway and Save Your Soul. Dion’s dramatic tendencies around phrasing are honed into expressive performances that are compelling – stressed vowels and all. It’s obvious that Dion has a sweet tooth for ballads and they’re always on her albums. Here, some of them get pushed into an adult contemporary zone, approaching a modern retro-chic sound (Didn’t Know Love), while others linger in schmaltzy limbo (Thank You, Overjoyed). They languish in strings and lush arrangements and even Stevie Wonder
can’t move Overjoyed beyond its showroom sentimentality. But Dion’s natural flair for the dramatic swoops in to save the day on a few: the edgy Thankful and the clever cover of Janis Ian’s bittersweet bummer of a song, At Seventeen. After that, it’s a return to the big marching choruses and empty platitudes that Dion makes sound sincere. The album’s dramatic high points are reached when she gets simple and goes for the dark side. When she retreats back into ballad-land, it’s predictable and overdone. It’s an unnatural experience to listen to a whole Celine Dion album – like entering a zone of syrupy perfection, too much at once can make you feel a little woozy.

Thor: The Dark world
K
eeping the nine realms peaceful has kept Thor (Chris Hemsworth) busy for the two years since we saw him last. He and the armies of his home world Asgard have had to quell a rebellion of Dark Elves led by Malekith (Christopher Taylor and Howe Eccleston.) The Dark Elves threaten to bring darkness to the galaxy by unleashing an ancient weapon known as the Aether. Back on Earth, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) pines for Thor and studies the same, strange vortex anomalies that led to Thor’s arrival on Earth in the first film. When she accidentally transports herself to the secret hiding spot of the Aether, she becomes the bearer of its power and the centre of a battle to save the galaxy. We say, “It’s a smitey good time.” HOWE: I’m starting to get suckered into liking these comic book movies. I’ve always enjoyed the Batman films just because they’re a little darker than the norm. Thor: The Dark World has that plus a few funny lines dotted throughout and I felt it was on par with the first one. TAYLOR: I think it’s better than the original. This sequel seems to have taken the best aspects of the Thor franchise and tweaked them slightly to create something more of this world than Thor’s hammer. For instance, the language Thor uses, the olde world, Shakespearean lines have been tamed somewhat. The fighting that takes place when hand to hand, or hand to ham-

mer as it were, is a mix of modern and other-worldly medieval: swords are made of light, spears shoot lasers, the Dark Elves’ spacecraft glow and spin despite looking like they’re made of rock and shouldn’t fly at all. The look of the film is effective; the visual effects are top notch. HOWE: And we didn’t watch it in 3D either and to be truthful, I don’t think you should blow the extra $3 on it. Buy yourself a tiny pop or candy instead. As for the overall look, it’s a bit of a mishmash of other movies, but works well. For example take Thor’s home planet of Asgard: It could be from Lord of The Rings with the laser show from Star Trek and the Dark Elves are just men running around in bad-looking Cybermen knockoffs. The latter being my only complaint of the movie. TAYLOR: It was fun to see Loki (Tom
Hiddleston) get out of his cell for a while. The banter between he and his brother, Thor, made for some laughs. Their love/ hate relationship continues to please audiences. There is also a tiny bit of romance (very tiny), and quite a lot of drama in the film, but on the whole, I think this film is more action packed than the first. Thor: The Dark World also ties into the other films in the Marvel universe, past and presumably future. For instance, Thor gets slapped in the face by Jane Foster upon his return; once for not coming back and then again because she saw him on TV in New York helping the Avengers save the Earth from Loki’s wrath. – Howe gives Thor: The Dark World 4 car keys out of 5. – Taylor gives it 3.5 scientist’s pants out of 5.

Vernon secondary school students strike a pose with the We Day mascot: Grade 9 students Saige Woodliffe (front left), and Cailyn MacKeigan; Grade 10 student Levi Nicholas; Grade 10 student Kyla Perry (back left); Grade 11 student Rylie Martian; Grade 10 students Sierra Benner and Gage Kopp at We Day in Vancouver last month. Hosted by Free the Children, the event brought together about 18,000 youth from all over the province to hear speakers Nobel Peace Prize winner Kofi Annan, Romeo Dallaire and the son of Martin Luther King, as well as enjoy concerts by artists such as Avril Lavigne. “It was another amazing and inspiring event,” said VSS teacher Susan Egan, who takes a group of students to We Day every year. We Day’s goal is to empower a generation to shift the world from “me to “we.”
Gleaners share around the world Morning Star Staff
When times are tough for people around the world, the Gleaners go into action. Gleaners is made up of Christian volunteers who gather, process and package produce donated by many local farmers. That produce is then processed at two plants, one in Oliver and one in Lavington. “Our purpose is to gather (glean) crops that are damaged or left in the fields and that would otherwise go to waste,” said Howie Anhorn, with the Gleaners. “The product is dried and made into a soup mix that is shipped by various relief organizations around the world to starving people.” Gleaners also collects used medical equipment, which is shipped by relief organizations to various parts of the world. And every year, thousands of packages of seeds are donated by PNW Seeds to Gleaners, which this year sent them to North Korea with the soup. And at this time of year, the Gleaners run an annual campaign to collect new socks, mittens, toques and under garments for kids of all ages.

Lou Abram sits amongst toques and hats knitted for the Gleaners sock drive this year. “These are shipped with the food or separately to Third World countries,” said Anhorn. “This year they will go to Eastern Europe. Many people enjoy knitting these items or you can purchase them new.” There are collection barrels in most churches, at The Schubert Centre and at The Gleaners furniture store. Last day for the 18th annual sock drive is Dec. 1. “Last year, the Okanagan valley collected 22,000 pieces. Your donations are greatly appreciated.”
Lou Abram, a member of Grace Bible Church, has a number of people helping year-round by knitting toques and hats: so far, she has collected 1,600 toques and other warm items from her church, as well as another 1,000 from members of the community. She still needs wool to keep them busy — if you can help, please call her at 250-545-1294. To help with the costs to run the processing plant, the Gleaners opened a used furniture store at 4405-29th St. Donations of used furniture are always welcome and pick-up is available. As well, volunteers are always needed at the store. If you can volunteer a few hours, please call 250-549-1123. “This store, and other donations, is the only means of support for the food processing plant,” said Anhorn. Volunteers are also needed at the plant every week, Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to noon. If you can help here, please call the plant at 250-558-5872 for directions. For more information on the Gleaners, please call Anhorn at 250-549-1632.

Bored wife tempted to stray
ear Annie: I have been married for more than 20 years and have never been sexually attracted to my husband. He is a good provider, but there is no passion, no excitement, nothing. I have tried everything I can think of to make sex better, but he acts as if it’s part of my wifely duties, which makes me sick. I don’t want to break up our home, but I’m in love with a passionate man who just rocks my world. He kisses me, and I forget my name. Our affair has Kathy Mitchell & MarcySugar lasted four years. Why can’t I keep them both? — Torn in Tulsa Dear Torn: It seems you’ve been doing exactly that for four years, but obviously, it’s not enough. Please stop living a dual life and figure out what you want. If there are young children, you owe it to them to work on your marriage. Get into joint counseling so your husband can work on his Neanderthal attitude toward women and so you can see whether passion can be ignited. If you believe sex is the most important aspect of a marriage, divorce your husband so you can be with Rocks Your World. But having it both ways isn’t working, and you’ll feel better when you deal with this more honestly. Dear Annie: I was sexually abused by an uncle when I was 12. I am now 35 and
annie's mailbox
expect to see him at an upcoming family reunion. After all these years, I finally wrote him a letter. He will never read it. When he dies, I want to place it in his casket. I hope you will let me share my thoughts: Dear Uncle: I have a few things that I’ve waited a long time to tell you. Now that you are dead, I am finally happy. I am happy you are burning in hell. God has given me justice. While others are mourning your death, I am celebrating. I will never forgive you for what you did. You stole my childhood from the moment you laid hands on me when I was a 12-year-old child. Your own niece. When I was a child, I used to think you were a great uncle. I trusted you, respected you, looked up to you, loved you the way a niece should. And when you betrayed me, I was shattered, and I never looked at you the same way. I have waited a long time for your death so that I could go to your funeral and watch you being lowered into your grave. You are a total disgrace. You are nothing to me. God never should have created you. You had no purpose in life other than to hurt children. You are pathetic. Now that you are dead, I can finally be at peace knowing that you will never again hurt a child. — Still Suffering Dear Still: Thank you for composing a letter that obviously came from a very wounded place. Please don’t wait until your uncle is dead to warn your other relatives and report him to the authorities.
Your courage to speak up could protect other children who come into contact with this predator. And for you and anyone else who has suffered through abuse, please contact RAINN (rainn.org) at 1-800-656-HOPE for support, encouragement and help. Dear Annie: You printed a letter from “Humiliated Wife,” who said her husband seems to be overly interested in a classmate from his 50th high school reunion. You said her husband is in his “late 70s.” Your math is seriously off. My 50th high school reunion is this year, and I’m 67. There’s no way he would be older unless he was held back a few years. — I Can Add Dear Add: You are right that we could use a remedial math class. But the advice stands. If the man suddenly ogles every woman and can’t keep his hands off the waitresses, he needs to see his doctor. Dear Annie: Tell “Champ’s Mom” that many states have passed legislation or are considering doing so to teach cursive writing in school. Students who have not been taught cursive can neither read it nor write it. Parents are just beginning to realize that their children don’t have the skills to read their grandparents’ notes. Children want to learn cursive. Please give them the opportunity. — Long Live Cursive Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar are longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Amos 4:13. “The LORD, the God of hosts, is his name.” This is a doxology (a hymn, prayer or formula of praise to God). He is not some borrowed deity carved out of wood or chiselled out of a slab of igneous rock. He is “The LORD, the God of hosts,” Yahweh Elohim Sabbaoth. The God who will outwork His justice on the nation of Israel as the Lord of armies of heaven and earth.” God challenges Job 38:4: “Where was thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?...when the morning stars sang together?”

Walter used to eat frozen dinners alone … Now he enjoys a varied menu and great company. Mealtime was mostly a chore for Walter. Living alone, he would simply choose what was easiest to prepare and eat in front of the TV. Nutrition was rarely a consideration.
At Chartwell, the chef changes the menu daily, so Walter not only gets to choose from a variety of balanced meals, but he enjoys them with a side dish of laughter and conversation.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Question
Cadillac in the rear-view mirror of the European premium brands 2014 Cadillac CTS One auto trend that shows little sign of waning is the move towards more luxury or premium cars by manufacturers and consumers alike. As baby boomers age, they have earned the nicer things in life, and the offspring of baby boomers are getting used to the finer things in life, so more automakers are moving upscale. The Europeans do luxury and performance better than most and the Japanese luxury brands have been putting in their time to becoming a real force. But long before the Japanese, there have always been the American luxury brands, with many firsts in features and technology. Established in 1902, Cadillac is one of the oldest, along with Mercedes-Benz, and continues to be General Motors’ flagship in terms of refinement and technology. Looks The smaller Cadillac ATS was released a year ago and went on to win the North American Car of the Year award. General Motors has taken that platform and elongated it to produce the lightest mid-sized car in its class. It’s a full 173kg lighter than the benchmark BMW 5-Series it competes against, and 34kg lighter than the outgoing car. A lighter car, made of

Verdict The price of the CTS ranges from about $51,000 for the base model to $66,000 for the top premium trim level. The Vsport, high performance model is priced at almost $75,000. The Cadillac CTS is not an inexpensive car, but it offers many features like standard heated and vented leather seats, Bose stereo and push button start even on the base model. Compared to some of the other mid-sized luxury sedans it is less expensive, plus it is a worthy car for any driving enthusiast.

Truck tires tread lightly in the snow ‘‘
Remember that your four-wheel drive vehicle may help you get going quicker than other vehicles but it won’t help you stop any faster.
Ian Harwood
’’
The temperature is starting to drop, the leaves are clogging up the streets and snow is beginning to fall in parts in parts of B.C. Driving in the winter season brings challenges no matter which part of the province you call home. My remarks are aimed chiefly at truck owners but the
message is common for all: driver and vehicles must be equally prepared. In winter, braking and stopping vehicles of all kinds is perhaps where most of us get into trouble. The tires play a critical role in stopping the vehicle, and so they need even more care and attention than in the other seasons. Most SUVs have a passenger car tire classification with M+S stamped on the sidewall, for Mud and Snow and are considered all- season tires. If it is not, your vehicle must be fitted with tires suitable for any type of climate, even the most severe ones. In winter the pressure of the tire must also be controlled more frequently. This is because a reduction of the outside temperature causes a contraction of the air inside the tire, accelerating the normal and gradual pressure loss process by a value around 1-2 PSI for each 5° C decrease in
temperature. Contrary to popular opinion, a lower inflation pressure than normal does not improve tire traction on snow. It makes them much more prone to damage. Always remember that in any season and with any temperature, insufficient pressure is always the main cause of tire damage. Use brakes carefully. Brake early. Brake correctly. It takes more time and distance to stop in icy conditions. Watch for slippery bridge decks, even when the rest of the pavement is in good condition. Bridge decks will ice up sooner than the pavement. Do not use the cruise control in winter conditions. Even roads that appear clear can have sudden slippery spots and the short touch of your brakes to deactivate the cruise control feature can cause you to lose control of your vehicle.
Don’t get overconfident in your 4x4 vehicle. Remember that your four-wheel drive vehicle may help you get going quicker than other vehicles but it won’t help you stop any faster. Besides, many 4x4 vehicles are heavier than passenger vehicles and actually may take longer to stop.
And don’t bank on your 4x4’s traction. Your 4x4 can lose traction as quickly as a two-wheel drive vehicle. If your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock brakes, do not pump them in attempting to stop. The right way is to steer into the skid while applying the brake pedal
evenly. Look farther ahead in traffic than you normally do. Actions by cars and trucks will alert you quicker to problems and give you a split second extra time to react safely. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca
Investing in collector car futures
Bob McHugh For as long as Alexandra Straub recalls, I’ve been writing about cars for over 25 years and I’m a long-term member of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC). My auto background is mainly in the service side of the industry as I’ve always had a keen interest in knowing how things work. Especially those oily, greasy parts that make the wheels go around. My first car was an early sixties Triumph Herald Coupe (web example photo) that was traded-in to a dealership where I worked as an apprentice auto mechanic, back in Dublin, Ireland. It spent more time off the road, being repaired, than on the road, during my time as its owner. A Herald had the same chassis and a similar powertrain as the much nicer looking Triumph Spitfire, which was sold in North America. At the BC Automobile Association I initially worked as a mobile Vehicle Inspector in the Vehicle Inspection Service. The vehicle was an AMC Gremlin and it was painted to look like a cut-away or skeleton view of the car’s mechanical bits. A small car with a big gas-guzzling engine, a Gremlin was an odd choice of vehicle for that job and the paint job just added to its weirdness, yet I grew to like it. Currently I enjoy serving on the AJAC Technology Awards panel and have also been involved in the promotion of trade skills training for young people in BC. When time permits, I still like to get my hands dirty and give my son a helping hand with, his pride and joy, a 1966 Ford Thunderbird coupe. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca
drivewayBC.ca.
Looking into my automotive crystal ball, I see a number of reasonably priced Japanese cars with the potential to go up in value, not down. And while you wait for their price to rise these collector cars of the future should give you endless driving pleasure – that is until you sell! Now to be fair, I’ve not always been right so there’s a caution. In 1973, I recall talking to a man, who had just returned to the UK from Australia. He told me about a car called a Honda Civic, which would make a Mini look ridiculous in comparison. My immediate reaction was that I had seen the Toyota Corollas that were just beginning to arrive in England
and felt that the Mini did not have anything to worry about. Japanese cars were cheap and would not catch on. How wrong was I? I can tell you that early Japanese cars are becoming much sought after so let’s look at some that are still affordable, if you can find a survivor or rust free example. If you still have one of the first generation Honda Civics, the majority were finished in a metallic gold, blue or green, I would suggest you look after it. In the future, these cars will appeal to the demographic that grew up with them and they will be the future collectors.
1973-1979: Honda Civic: The Honda Civic was introduced during the OPEC oil crisis, first as a two-door and then a threedoor hatchback. The transversely mounted (similar to the Mini) 1169 cc engine driving the front-wheels was very peppy and spacious. The Civic was similar
to other “Made in Japan” items and considered a throw away automobile and that is exactly what happened to most of them. Rust helped speed up the process also. If you can find a pristine, rust free example, wrap it in cotton wool, it won’t command over $1 million as some Toyota 200GTs have recently but it will increase in value as time goes by. Pay $4,000 - $9,000.
1990-1999 Mazda Miata: Introduced in May of 1989, the Miata is considered the Japanese Lotus Elan. Unlike the thoroughbred and somewhat finicky Lotus engine, the Miata’s four-cylinder, twin-cam, four-valves-per cylinder engine is very reliable. In an eightyear production run, 430,000 first generation Miatas were built. This rock solid, rear-wheel-drive sports car does not rattle or shake like most convertibles. The soft top can be raised and lowered effortlessly with just one hand. The Japanese engineers tried out more than 100 different exhaust systems until they achieved the sound they desired to make it
Drives-U-Crazy Solid line lunacy It seems to me that few people know when it is permissible to turn left across a solid centre line. If you can make the turn without hindering people behind you that is fine but if you can’t – drive drive on because it’s the law. I live near a hospital and see people break this rule daily, allowing cars to stack up behind while they wait for a clearance in traffic to complete their turn. What drives-u-crazy. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca
sound like a British sports car. Pay $5,500 - $9,000.
Pay $7,250 - $21,000.
1990-1999 Toyota MR2:
The twin sequential turbocharged RX-7 is a model that has generally been overlooked by many. The 1.3-litre Wankel engine screams and behaves like a motorcycle with its 8,000 rpm red-line. With 255hp it is a sports car without compromise, unfortunately also not many buyers! Mazda had priced this model out of the market. If you can find a mechanic familiar with rotary engines and want to have some fun, this is the model to consider, definitely onestep up from the Miata. Pay $10,500 - $18,000
The second generation MR2 was larger and weighed (160 to 180 kg) more than its square predecessor. The body styling was now much more streamlined; if you use your imagination, it has a resemblance to both the Ferrari 348 and the Ferrari F355. Because of this, the new MR2 was labeled by some as “The poor man’s Ferrari”. If you purchase the turbocharged version, you might feel like you are driving a Ferrari! Pay $5,250 - $7,000
1971-1973 Datsun 240Z: An early Datsun 240Z or event a 260Z from a dry climate such as California or Arizona, one that you can still see and count the spot welds on the quarter panel rear wheel arches is a car to snap up. These Ferrari 275 GTB lookalikes have a magnificent overhead-cam, straight six-cylinder engine and independent rear suspension. Consequently they are fast and handle very well. Parts are also still readily available.

However, it wasn’t the car but the back-story that captured our hearts. “In 1978 when I was in high school in Kamloops I owned a 1972 Fiat 2-door sedan,” Rodney explained. “I was keen on a girl in school, and one day she asked me for a ride. While driving and
chatting, the muffler fell off the car. She laughed and ducked down so as not to be seen by anyone. “I dropped her off and she laughed some more as I drove away, as loud as the car could be without a muffler.” Young Rodney figured that was that but . . . “Catherine and I are now in our 30th year of marriage and still love how the car connected us!” (We could only find a Fiat publicity photo of the four-door but there’s little difference.)

Perpetual Driving Self-Betterment: Because You’re Worth It B.C. racecar driver Cherie Storms told me she was taking an advanced driver training course to appease her father’s wishes. She’d been putting it off since teenagedom. That said, her father is an accomplished racecar driver and a proficient motorist, so you could argue it was an inevitability. But she had to find the desire in herself first. What followed, even she didn’t think would happen. She recently took home the championship title for the B Spec series in her Mazda2 for the 2013 race season. She grew up in a motorsports household but it wasn’t until she actually got behind the wheel at the driving course that her mindset changed. “I was just overwhelmed with all of the technical aspects that it takes to be a good driver,” she stated. It’s like what my grade 12 math teacher always said, “Math is not a spectator sport.” There was even a poster on the cubicle wall to remind us.

The same thing goes for driving. Except there’s no poster in the cubicle for that! We need to be an active participant, not a wallflower. Anyone who has taken advanced driving courses will know exactly what Cherie is talking about. It’s not just about knowing how to shift gears on a manual transmission without jerking the car, or parallel parking your sedan without curbing the rims. Driving is so much more. I understand that this mode of transportation is a necessity for many. And it’s something done out of convenience rather than love. Kind of like laundry or grouting the bathroom floor tiles. Then again, for others, it’s a passion. Myself included. Taking a specialized course, whether it’s a track day or a race school isn’t just for wannabe racers. It’s for everyone. And we can all learn if we have an open mind. We read to keep our mind sharp. We walk/run/work out to keep our bodies active. We sleep to keep our bodies functioning. Why should driving be any different? Why shouldn’t we actively engage in making ourselves better drivers? Every time you get behind the wheel of a vehicle, there’s a possibility you can change your life or the lives of others. We might not think too much about it, but operating a vehicle is a huge responsibility. Poor driving habits, not shoulder checking, not using your signals, driving in the left lane when you’re not passing are minor details in the grand scheme of things, but have a large impact. It’s never too late to refresh the basics and then pick up a few new good habits. For example, if you look at any of the top athletes in their sport, they’re training most of the time. They’re trying to perfect their craft, even when they’re at the top of it. I doubt Sebastian Vettel slums around in his down time, even after winning his fourth consecutive Formula1 world championship. Sure, he gets a break, but he’s constantly training to be faster and stronger. In another interview, I chatted with Izod Indy racecar driver Simona de Silvestro. She tells me that there’s really no such thing as an “off-season.” She says she trains all year long. In fact, she trains harder when she’s not always behind the wheel of a car to prepare for the upcoming races. If the pros do it, we should to. Some of the most fun I’ve had behind the wheel of a car has been at a driving school. Whether it was the three-day racing school at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca with the Skip Barber program, or a track day at the Mission Raceway with Morrisport Advanced Driving, or even a track program close to you, it’s a win-win. If we’re all safer drivers then the chances of accidents are minimized and we can keep our vehicles dent-free longer. And avoid going through insurance claims. The few hundred dollars it takes to enrol is of infinite worth in the long run. Alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca Twitter.com/cargirlsgarage

Electric Vehicles:
Rural or Urban? People point and laugh at Jim Knowles when he drives his Smart Fortwo Electric Drive through downtown Campbell River. But he and his wife Catherine have the last laugh when they open up their hydro bill. “I think the last bill was just a few dollars more than the one we got before we bought the car in July so that’s inexpensive driving,” said Knowles.
“I work out at the airport and so I travel about 10 kilometres each way every day. I never let the battery go below 20 percent but I still find I can sometimes go four days before I plug it in overnight.” In the summer, Knowles said he can easily get up to the 160 km range on a single charge but knows the Vancouver Island winter will take that down to around 120 as the wipers

and heater take their energy toll. “We moved from Ladner three-and-half years ago with our Smart Diesel. I think people here thought we would by something a little bigger – this is the truck capital of the Island after all.” But they came back from a car-shopping jaunt from Richmond with the little electric car, which set them back around $26,990 less a generous BC government rebate of $5,000. “We stopped in Qualicum Beach to charge it for a couple of hours and made it back here easily.” The car charges on what is called a level one (basic) charger but with rebates now offered on fast chargers, they are contemplating investing in one. Knowles got in touch with Driveway to tell of his experiences with the smart car, following our launch piece on the BMWi3 electric car a few weeks ago. We would like to hear from others, who are driving pure electric vehicles in rural areas. Electric vehicles are frequently dismissed as being good only for urban dwellers. The Knowles couple are demonstrating they can serve people outside of major cities. Admittedly, they don’t travel far each day but then surely that’s the case for many rural residents. Yes, trucks, larger cars and SUVs will always dominate in parts of the province where are harsh winters are commonplace and distances travelled are greater. But cars like the Smart and i3 maybe have a role to play as a family’s second vehicle in those locations. What do you think? keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

We remember Molly with love and respect. Molly was born on Monday June 8, 1931 in London England and passed away Sunday November 10, 2013 at Lakeview Pioneer Lodge in Wakaw Saskatchewan. Molly was always proud of her birthplace, her homeland, and her riƟsh heritage.

Molly was predeceased by her parents Ernest and Caroline Rumph and her brother Bob Rumph. Molly was a dear friend to Fay Michayluk and her children Rob and Kathy. Molly and Fay met 40 years ago while enrolled in the University Diploma course for Hospital and Health Care AdministraƟon at The University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon. Kver the years Fay and Molly visited each other oŌen at their respecƟve homes. Molly enjoyed watching Rob and Kathy grow up and always took an interest in their lives. A Registered Nurse trained in England, a midwife, a cerƟĮed TB nurse and a hospital administrator, Molly was always proud of her profession and loved being a nurse. In 1973 the ever adventurous Molly immigrated to Canada to be the hospital administrator in the small southern Saskatchewan community of Coronach.

Molly’s health began to deteriorate in 2011 and on Kctober 1st of that year she decided to move to Wakaw to be near her dear friend Fay and her family. In May of 2013, as her health conƟnued to fail, Molly moved to Lakeview Pioneer Lodge in Wakaw where she spent the remainder of her days. Molly was blessed with a visit from her sister Joan in June 2013 Joan spent three weeks with Molly and they enjoyed their Ɵme together going for walks outdoors and recalling family and friends in England. Many dear friends in and around Vernon BC kept in touch with Molly and phoned, sent cards and kept her in their thoughts. She had been sad to leave them when she moved back to Saskatchewan and she menƟoned them oŌen. A Graveside Service will take place Saturday November 16 at 11:00 am at the Wakaw Town Cemetery.
