Local teacher earns Prime Minister award RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A Vernon educator’s passion for children has been recognized by the highest level of power in the country. Shawna Miller-Poitras, who teaches four-yearolds at the North Okanagan Child Care Society, received the Prime Minister’s Award for Teaching Excellence from Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Ottawa Tuesday. “The whole experience has been an honour and a privilege,” she said of meeting Harper. “I love working with children and I feel fortunate that I have this in my life.” Miller-Poitras, an early childhood educator for 25 years, is being acknowledged for introducing her students to the world around them. It’s common for her class to visit the community garden, share experiences with local seniors, perform in local festivals or partner with elementary and high school students. “I am looking for ways to help them contribute

to their community,” said Miller-Poitras. As an example, the class recently helped paint yellow fish symbols at storm drains to create awareness about how pollution impacts the environment. “I want to showcase their strengths and abilities. I want them to have a love of life and learning.” Miller-Poitras also supports child development through lunch-time discussions, monthly newsletters and memory books. She played a critical role in the development of Vernon’s children’s charter of rights. “She takes on projects that are leading the way to immersing our children within the community in which they belong,” said Hollie Henderson, North Okanagan Child Care Society executive director. Miller-Poitras says the prime minister’s award has inspired her to continue with her work. “I find it very motivating and validating,” she said.

Plans are in place for a recreational corridor in Oyama, but no cash will be tossed at it immediately. Lake Country council has adopted the Pelmewash Parkway concept plan. “We want people to recognize that it’s a long-term project,” said Mayor James Baker. “We don’t have $12 million to build a recreation corridor.” Pelmewash Parkway is the former highway along Wood Lake and the goal is to increase public access to the area while protecting the environment. The road will remain open to two-lane traffic but it will be narrowed to allow for separate bike and walking trails. Some residents wanted portions of the road closed to traffic, but Coun. Owen Dickie believes that isn’t possible given the local economy. “We have to consider the needs of agricultural vehicles accessing the packinghouse,” he said. The plan was developed after considerable consultation with the public. “The report is quite reflective of the community’s wishes,” said Dickie, adding that there isn’t a specific timeline for the enhancements to be implemented. “The plan provides us with an opportunity to start allocating money each year so we can start chipping away at it.”

Annexation debate heats up at RDNO richard rolke Morning Star Staff
The City of Vernon is standing its ground over absorbing rural properties. Three Vernon directors opposed a Regional District of North Okanagan board decision Wednesday not to support applications for 13 lots in Areas B and C to be annexed into the city. “We don’t see how in good conscious we can refuse these,” said director Rob Sawatzky. Currently, a property owner can apply to the city for annexation and the final decision is made by the provincial government. The regional district can oppose the application but it has no formal role in the process. Sawatzky says many rural properties want to join the city so they can replace failing septic systems with sewer and protect the environment. “When people on septic want a higher level of service and their property is con-

tiguous with the city, how can we refuse them?” he said. Sawatzky points out that the city doesn’t initiate annexations and expanding its boundaries can be detrimental. “It makes us larger and less efficient.” Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director, insists that the city can reject annexation applications. “If you look at Vernon’s official comBob Fleming munity plan, it says this expansion without densification in existing areas is inappropriate,” he said. Bob Fleming, BX-Swan Lake director, suggests that annexation bids have more to do with development opportunities than protecting the environment. “They (city) don’t have to rubber-stamp
every application that comes through.” Fleming says the city has the ability to provide sewer to properties without annexing them and such scenarios already occur in other communities. The concern from the electoral area directors is the loss of properties undermines their tax base and the ability to provide services. “A total of 1,850 hectares of Area B have been annexed between 2004 and 2011. It’s not small bits, it’s big bits,” said Fleming. However, city officials defend the process. “When a private property owner is asking to come into the city and pay higher taxes for services, I’m surprised people don’t see that as a positive,” said director Mary-Jo O’Keefe. “They (land owner) see it as necessary or they wouldn’t ask.” RDNO is also asking the city to hold an open house regarding 11 of the properties
proposed for annexation. The author of a study looking into the impact of annexations will also make a presentation to the regional board. “I’d like to see us working co-operatively. I’m committed to looking at this more indepth,” said Juliette Cunningham, Vernon director.

Action demanded for intersection richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Demands are growing to address a dangerous Lumby intersection. Village council wants the Ministry of Transportation to make improvements to Highway 6 at Grandview Avenue. “That corner is really unsafe,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. Council decided to send a letter to the ministry after the issue was raised by Coun. Nick Hodge. “There isn’t adequate lighting. There is only one light and it is set back from the road quite a ways,” said Hodge. “It is very dark there at night.” The other concern is there is no leftturn lane for vehicles trying to access Grandview Avenue from the highway. “Highway traffic is expected to wait while someone is trying to turn left. People tend to pass on the right,” said Hodge, adding that puts motorists and pedestrians at risk. Other issues are that the intersection is narrow and there is no signage before the intersection informing motorists that Grandview Avenue is coming up. “All three vehicles coming from Vernon to my home on Grandview for a din-

Vernon nurses are fighting what they see as a potentially risky shift in health care. Members of the B.C. Nurses Union will rally in front of Vernon Jubilee Hospital Nov. 29 at 2 p.m. to protest the care delivery model redesign which has been implemented on Vancouver Island. “It replaces professional nurses with unlicensed care aides on surgical and medical floors,” said Ashley Bradwell, BCNU’s Vernon steward. The union says the model has impacted 26 registered nurses and licensed practical nurses in Nanaimo and there is the potential for 122 nurses to be replaced in Victoria. “This scheme severely restricts bedside nursing, making it much harder for
morning star file photo
Nurses will rally in front of Vernon Jubilee Hospital Nov. 29. nurses to observe and monitor their patients’ condition,” said Margo Wilton, BCNU South Islands co-chairperson, in a release. “Nurses are blowing the whistle on a bad care-model that dramatically raises the number of patients each nurse cares for, increas-
ing the risk to patient safety.” However, the Vancouver Island Health Authority has defended its decision. “There will be no layoffs associated with these changes,” states a release from VIHA. “There is a shortage of trained health care
professionals in VIHA and across the country, and every trained, skilled and dedicated nursing professional is needed to provide quality care.” It is not known if the Interior Health Authority has considered such a model. While the Vernon nurses will show support for their Vancouver Island colleagues, there is a concern that the service model could spread in B.C. “They are looking at it in the Fraser Health Authority,” said Bradwell. Participants at the Nov. 29 rally will wear red shirts and black pants. “The red is for the bleeding of the health care system and the black is mourning the loss of nursing jobs,” said Bradwell. — with files from the Nanaimo Bulletin

zoned for a home occupation use or where the property is zoned to permit manufacturing uses. As part of developing land use regulations, RDNO has considered the proximity of marijuana processing plants to schools and residences. “People don’t want to see grow-ops in their neighbourhood,” said Pearase. Other issues that will be considered are servicing requirements, noise, traffic, odour and liquid and solid waste. Spallumcheen has

Council limits sites for grow-ops richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Another Okanagan community wants to ensure medicinal marijuana isn’t grown everywhere. Lake Country council is amending bylaws so medicinal marijuana grow-operations are only allowed in the general industrial and heavy industrial zones and not in areas designated for agriculture. “There are so many places with agricultural land and if they put in a grow-op, it’s quite noticeable in the neighbourhood,” said Mayor James Baker of the potential conflict Jams Baker between such facilities and residents. Lake Country’s actions come at the same time that Spallumcheen has insisted it only wants medicinal marijuana production in industrial zones. However, there has been concern that the federal government may not accept the limitations of a civic bylaw.
There could also be a conflict with the provincial Agricultural Land Commission, which has classified medicinal marijuana as a permitted use in the Agricultural Land Reserve. Legal counsel for Lake Country believes it’s essential for municipalities to take a stand. “The federal government has indicated that it will respect local government zoning when determining whether to issue production licenses,” said Sara Dubinsky, with Lidstone and Company. “For this reason, it is critical that local governments wanting to regulate or prohibit the location of commercial producers within their borders act promptly to enact the requisite zoning. Failure to do so could result in medical marijuana production facilities being grandparented and permitted as a lawful, non-conforming use.” While the ALC has designated marijuana as an agricultural crop, Baker is convinced large production facilities could be detrimental to ensuring food security. “A lot of land has gone into grapes for wine and we don’t need more going to a product that isn’t food,” he said.

Who’s laughing now?
ou gotta love the comedy that comes from scandal. We humans really love to laugh at those who succumb to moral woes or plain, old stupidity, especially if their names are Anthony Weiner, (you can’t make that one up), Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin, and, yes, Rob Ford. Before you start groaning of yet another opinion about Ford, this former Torontonian isn’t going to stoop to that low. Rather, I’d like to comment on all the hilariousness that has ensued, well except for that crack dealer who is sitting in jail, I don’t think he finds the situation all that funny. Nor do I think my former neighbours are too amused about their city Kristin Froneman being the laughing stock of the world. But, hey, get over it. There will soon be another scandal that will be spoofed on SNL. Laughter is how we deal with the misfortune of others, except when those embarrassing moments are happening in your own backyard. I have to admit I laughed my pants off at Anchorman Ron Burgundy singing Ford’s campaign song to the tune of Loverboy’s Working for the Weekend on the Conan show the other day, but what if it was my town, my mayor they were laughing at. Oh, wait. I am having a deja vu moment, no crack involved. Before the train wreck that was Ford Nation or the selfie-loving Weiner, or those secondary dwelling loving senators, we had our own scandal in beautiful Vernon, B.C. I know many of you (me included) would like to forget, but all this Ford business has reminded me of what happened here in 2005. For newcomers to this city, the scandal arose when a certain mayor decided to wine n’ dine

some fellow movers and shakers, including then Premier Gordon Campbell, with the city credit card. Problem is those movers and shakers didn’t seem to recall getting a free meal. (It’s all spelled out on Wikipedia for goodness sakes.) While said mayor blubbered out an apology, and did the right thing and resigned his post (are you reading this, Ford?), we in town weren’t laughing. Gathering from the letters to the editor we received, some people out there actually felt sorry for the guy. They thought he was being attacked mercilessly. And really, when you think about it, he was — mainly from all the jokers on the outside who didn’t elect him. I am not making excuses for these politicians’ bad behaviour, but to err is to be human. And we humans make a lot of mistakes. The brilliant late writer Kurt Vonnegut once wrote in his book Galapagos that, thanks to our decreased brainpower, “people aren’t diverted from the main business of life by the hobgoblins of opinion anymore.” Yes, we easily slough off what can be serious issues — lying, cheating, crack smoking — through laughter, poking fun at other’s misfortunes, especially if they are in a position of power. We spread out hilarious venom through Tweets and statuses. And we turn red in embarrassment when it hits a little close to the bone (paging Anthony Weiner.) So Toronto, I feel for you and hope you too will one day laugh at this sorry state of affairs. If experience tells us, this too shall pass. People will carry on with their lives. Politicians will be dethroned and re-elected. And you can bet there will be another scandal, more jokes, more ridiculousness, more fodder for late night TV hosts.... especially if Ford plans to stick around in office. Oh, the horror.
The first move in the provincial government’s core review, designed to reduce overall government costs, targets the Pacific Carbon Trust. But it doesn’t go nearly far enough. The government is planning to move the trust into the ministry of environment, and reduce its staff and administrative costs. It would be far better to eliminate it. Bill Bennett, the minister responsible for the review, says the move will save $5.6 million annually by 2015-16. The carbon trust’s staff will be reduced to five from 18. Unfortunately, the government is still spinning the halftruth that the Pacific Carbon Trust is actually reducing carbon emissions. All it really does is boost the cost of government projects and initiatives. New schools, for example, cost more because all government agencies are required to buy carbon offsets so that the province can claim that it is totally carbon neutral. The offsets it buys, at $25 per tonne, are purchased from the private sector — usually from large carbon emitters to build projects that reduce the amount of carbon they emit. What is left unsaid is that most of these projects would likely be built anyway. NDP leader Adrian Dix, who fumbled on a number of occasions during the provincial election campaign, was strikingly clear on the Pacific Carbon Trust. He would eliminate it. The current BC Liberal government continues to mouth platitudes about carbon reduction, even as it proposes a number of LNG plants that would certainly boost the amount of carbon emitted in B.C. However, if the plants are built and natural gas begins to replace coal as the source of electricity in countries like China, worldwide carbon emissions will decrease. That type of effort towards reducing carbon is far superior to the smoke and mirrors of the Pacific Carbon Trust. - Black Press

Cultural campus proposed
id you know that Vernon is the smallest city in Canada to have a science centre? Why is there a science centre in Vernon and not in Kelowna? The answer: because Marg and Bill Sim lived in Vernon. In 1985 it was Marg and Bill's vision to see a worldclass science facility in Vernon. Along with their daughter (Roxi) and son-inlaw (Tony) they shared their vision with other members of the community. A grassroots get-together, in Bill and Marg's garage, sparked what has since grown to become a unique feature in both Vernon and the Okanagan Valley. Through the dedication and hard work of staff and volunteers and the support of a visionary board, the Okanagan Science Centre has now served for decades as a magnet attracting curious minds of all ages as well as persons of renown. Most recently Col. Chris Hadfield came to the centre to attend a reception in honour of Bruce Aikenhead. A video about Bruce was created through a federal grant obtained by the centre. The Community Memories Project: Bruce Aikenhead: Canadian Space Pioneer details Bruce's history with the Canadian Space Agency, the NASA Mercury project, his work with the Avro Arrow and his work on the Canada Arm. What good fortune it was when Bruce Aikenhead retired to Salmon Arm and consequently discovered the centre upon a visit to Vernon. Bruce, who has received the Order of Canada, generously volunteered his time, expertise and vision to create a permanent planetarium and other space displays that now

reside on the top floor of the centre. For us, as members of the original founding family, to have a vision like the Okanagan Science Centre realized to such a degree is a very humbling experience. And, we see more for the science centre, much more. We have seen the science centre grow from Science on Wheels, where Starlab, a portable planetarium visited schools all over the province, to a temporary home in the Tolko building then to the heritage building that it occupies today. Like other worthwhile organizations serving and enriching a growing community, the centre also needs room to grow. We are aware that the art gallery and museum are in need of new facilities. As community visionaries, we have been involved with a number of other successful community projects over the years, such as the Salmon Arm Art Gallery, the Enderby Arts Council, the Okanagan Artisan's Guild and the Enderby Wild Wallflower Community Mural project. We would like to offer a common sense suggestion that offers a win, win, win scenario for not only the art gallery and museum but for two other community organizations. First a little history about the museum and art gallery as told by Armstrong artist Frances Hatfield. At one of the first meetings about establishing a museum Frances stood up and suggested that the museum include, at least, a small room that could be used as a public art gallery for local artists to display their work. Because of her vision and timely suggestion, the Topham Brown Gallery
was created in the museum. The Topham Brown Gallery became a busy place for openings and a great launching ground for local artists. Soon, the art gallery out grew that small room and went out on its own, eventually arriving at its current location. Since both the museum and the art gallery need room to grow and both institutions share many of the same very specific needs, would it not make sense to once again come full circle? Let's make the best use of our financial resources by creating a community cultural campus that not only meets the needs of the organizations but most importantly meets the needs of the citizens of Vernon in a financially responsible way by avoiding costly duplication of services, equipment and long term operational expenses. There could be a further precedent encompassed in this vision that would result in winning situation for the arts centre which currently resides next to the science centre. By also including the arts centre within the community cultural campus, the arts centre would benefit from new purpose-built facilities. With all three, art gallery, the arts centre and museum in one complex, the
art gallery and arts centre can offer art programs in modern studio facilities while the climate control needs of both the museum and art gallery could be provided and operated more cost effectively. Putting it all on one campus and under one roof, further savings could be realized with shared facilities such as reception, administration, bathrooms, storage, janitorial and security and parking. Those savings would allow for more flexibility in design allowing for more storage and restoration/curatorial room as well as a shared lecture theatre, gift shop, coffee shop and green space. This fabulous cultural campus would give the community the best bang for its tax dollars and create a focal point in the community that would be so much more than its individual parts. At the same time and added benefit would be increasing visits and memberships for all. And now, here is the added bonus in this multiple win scenario so the science centre too, can grow. Back in 1998, the science centre set up displays in that area when it brought in the popular Thingamagigs, a hands-on science display, from the Vancouver Science Centre. The precedent is
there and would give the science centre the opportunity to develop as a science campus at Polson Park, echoing a downtown cultural campus. The community wins in so many ways. The art gallery and museum win with new facilities, some of which they would not be able to afford separately. The arts centre would win with new purpose built space. Together they could offer very exciting educational and studio programs for all ages and interests. This common-sense solution shows responsible use of tax dollars, better combined facilities and greater service to the citizens of Vernon and act as a draw for tourism. This all adds up to a big win scenario for the community and area as a whole. In speaking with friends we feel that coming together under one roof and expanding the science centre, would garner a great deal of support at referendum time. In the past, city councils and regional staff have shown vision and support for cultural development with great success. We are encouraged and heartened to see positive strides being made by current council and administrators. Under an umbrella of arts, science and culture, four community organizations could become a shining example of what grassroots talents and vision are capable of achieving. We are the smallest city in Canada to have a science centre because we are not small on either vision or accomplishment.

TRanSIT TROuble I wonder how many others, like myself, wish they could have been at Remembrance Day services. I depend on the transit system. Not one bus left the terminal by 10:55 a.m. Why can the buses run until 2 a.m. for Funtastic (a good thing) but cannot start an hour earlier on Nov. 11? Our seniors and their families deserve better. The date and moment of silence have not changed. City council and Vernon transit need to get together and realize who needs the bus service and why. Lest we forget. Ina Dyck

Okanagan’s parkland legacy fund. “Why do we need another level of bureaucracy?” said Coun. Joe Van Tienhoven, pointing out that the township already has a process in place to buy parkland. RDNO has investigated the system used by the Regional District of Central Okanagan in which member communities provide funds to purchase and maintain lands of regional significance. Presently, the six municipalities within RDNO are being asked if they are interested in the concept. Coun. Christine Fraser believes the initiative may benefit residents of more urban communities but parkland isn’t as critical an issue for those in rural areas. “We have a lot of backcountry and Crown land people can use for recreation,” she said.

News Kokanee decline spawns awareness
CLIFFORD AUTOMOTIVE

kevin parnell Black Press
Three years ago, when Lake Country student Harman Brar took part in a project to count spawning kokanee salmon in Middle Vernon Creek, the results were incredible. Spawning kokanee by the hundreds splashed around in the creek while hundreds of other lay dead after spawning and completing their life cycle. Around every turn there were more kokanee and the project put the spotlight on the health of the kokanee at that time and the importance of Middle Vernon Creek as a spawning stream for Wood Lake kokanee. So when Brar, now in Grade 11, returned to the stream this year with his environmental studies class, he was expecting to see about the same results. But the kokanee weren’t there. “Back when we did that project there were — Brar hundreds, both dead and alive, but now when we checked there were maybe eight of them,” said Brar, outside of George Elliot school, near Middle Vernon Creek. “We don’t know exactly why the kokanee aren’t there, but one of the reasons could be the pollutants that get into the stream.” So back inside George Elliot, Brar and his class-mates decided to embark on a project to see if they could help kokanee as well as raise awareness about the importance of the stream that at times is littered with garbage. The group is planning to paint nearby storm drains with a picture of a kokanee, reminding people that anything that makes its way into the drain, will also eventually make it into Middle Vernon Creek. They also plan on planting mycelium

George Elliot Secondary students Harman Brar and David Robertson show the design of the kokanee they will paint near Lake Country storm drains. fungus near the stream in order to use its natural ability to act as a filter and keep harmful chemicals out of the stream. “There is lots of junk in the river and lots of chemicals that make their way into the stream from the highway and from the roads,” said Brar. “That’s why we want to plant the mycelium. The paintings by the storm drains are to spread awareness of what’s happening. If people see the fish they might start to wonder.” After initially coming up with the idea, Brar approached the District of Lake Country to get approval for the project. It took awhile before he heard back and was even considering moving on, until the project picked up momentum late last week. Harman also brought his friend David Robertson on board and together with the other members of their environmental studies group, the project will get going over the next several weeks. Robertson said they didn’t recognize how bad the kokanee problem was and the project has taken on even more importance. “When Harman brought it to me and we went to the stream you start to realize it’s a problem,” he said. “There just wasn’t
any kokanee. It will be good to see the numbers of kokanee go up in the future but we have to start raising awareness now about what’s happened.” The GESS students have put their project before the Oceola Fish and Game club, who have been working on improving the kokanee stocks. Spokesperson Rick Simpson applauded the youth for their efforts and said every little bit helps. “There is no single smoking gun for the Wood Lake kokanee population crash,” he wrote in an email to the students. “However, non-point and point pollution in Wood Lake are thought to be among the contributing factors to the decline. The attention to what goes down our storm drains is practical and helpful in raising awareness and perhaps, in the longer term, changing attitudes and behaviour.” So for the two students that was enough to get them going on what started out as a school project but which has the potential to be so much more. “It feels good that we have got a lot of response,” said Brar. “Hopefully this spreads awareness for the next generation of students coming up and they can keep working on it.”
We can help you get started or manage the entire project!

Our systems provide heating, air conditioning, and air purification. They also allow the building to be heated or air conditioned in separate zones. Ductwork is NOT required and we can retro fit an existing building in one to two days with little disruption to the homeowner. Canadian Aerothermal’s experience with installed systems is a 40% – 65% annual cost savings on some alternative energy costs.

breastfeeding. “We’re trying to be as inclusive as possible,” said Coun. Owen Dickie. “We have to do all we can to allow all members of society to feel included in the community.” There have been cases in other communities where breastfeeding has been opposed in some businesses and public settings. In fact, a 2010 study in Kelowna indicated that 21 per cent of mothers did not feel comfortable breastfeeding in public. Dickie says the goal is to avoid such situations from occurring in Lake Country, whether it is council chambers, parks or during a hockey game. “They have as much right to be there feeding their baby as someone eating a hot dog,” he said. The B.C. Human Rights Code states that nursing mothers have the right to feed their children in a public area and it is discriminatory to ask them to cover up. The request to become a baby-friendly community came from a group of University of B.C. nursing students and the Interior Health Authority. As part of providing a baby-friendly environment, no specific designated space is needed and district employees are educated on the rights of a breastfeeding woman. Breastfeeding plays a critical role in healthy childhood development. “It’s a very natural process and the health benefits are undisputed,” said Dickie.

For Bobbi Bennett and eight of her fellow fourth-year UBC Okanagan nursing students, the shoe was definitely on the other foot. Instead of caring for patients, they were the patients – volunteers in a simulated, large-scale emergency exercise held by first responders at Vernon Jubilee Hospital recently. They were real-

istically made up to appear like victims in an explosion. Bennett had shrapnel and an embedded piece of silicon concrete poking out of her chest. Others had the appearance of gaping head wounds, lacerated faces, their wounds ranging from slight to life-threatening. It was a great learning experience beyond the classroom and clinical training, Bennett says. “A code-orange is an emergency designation of mass casualties, too many, that overwhelms a hospital’s ability to handle them all,” said Bennett. While the students had a fairly passive role, they observed firsthand how emergency responders – many of the doctors and nurses having military backgrounds – make lifeand-death decisions in an instant. The nine student “casualties” were quickly field-triaged and colour-coded into three groups: black, for those beyond help; red, for those with life-threatening injuries who would be priority care patients; and green, for those with less-serious injury. “This is something very different from what nurses and doctors deal with. We would normally treat everybody – even some of the ‘black’ victims might live, but there just were not the resources to deal with them, so they would be made comfortable and that’s all,” said Bennett. Those tagged red were cared for first and the green patients, some

Among the nursing students, there was one ‘black’ victim, three greens and five reds. Bennett was a red. “You feel much more vulnerable in that state. You are being cared for, rather than providing the care,” she said. The students also
learned that on average, a health-care professional would deal with only one code-orange event in their entire career. Yet Bennett’s career after graduation might see her dealing with many such masscasualty incidents. She plans to join the military. “I will be deployed and I expect to deal with

Whalers halt VSS in B.C. semis Morning Star Staff
They made it to the provincial finalfour before running into the big and burly Ballenas Whalers Wednesday afternoon at Burnaby Lakes Sports Complex. The VSS Panthers worked the Parksville school hard before falling 34-20 in the B.C. Junior Varsity Football League semifinal playoff under sunny skies. “We gave everything we had,” said Panther head coach Dave Tetrault. “The boys left it all on the field. We lost to a very good Ballenas squad. I could not be prouder of the effort our kids gave. Both coach Ed Huber and I let the team know what a great season we had. They are an awesome group of young men.” Vernon opened the scoring in the first quarter on a five-yard plunge by Justin Haverkamp. Ballenas answered using ball-control offence to level the score, and went ahead early in the second quarter. The Whalers extended the lead to 20-6 early in the third before the Cats responded with a gutsy drive, finished by a Haverkamp sweep for a touchdown, followed by a Ben Hladik run for the conversion, making it 20-14.
“Our kids just would not quit,” added Tetrault. “Ballenas was bigger and wore us down. It was a battle to the end.” Ballenas scored quickly on a pass to go in front 26-14 before the Panthers struck with Hladik, at tight end, throwing a pitch pass 50 yards to a streaking Zack Hyer, who stretched out to give VSS a first-down at the five. Four plays later, fullback Carson Lebrecque plunged in from the one, pulling the Cats within six. “We gave ourselves a chance. Unfortunately, we had them in fourth down twice in the last drive but could not stop them.” The Whalers scored an insurance TD with five minutes remaining. Tailback Matt Price, who rung up four touchdowns in the Whalers’ 41-12 quarterfinal win over the Seaquam Seahawks of Delta, was a major force versus VSS. “Our veteran guys, Jesse Bielski, Tyler Semeniuk and Liam Boyd played like warriors today,” said Tetrault. “Justin Haverkamp showed great leadership playing with a fractured bone in his hand. Our whole coaching staff looks forward to working with this group again next year.”

Panthers rule Interior Conference all-star roll call Morning Star Staff
The VSS Panthers placed a league-high nine players on the Interior Senior AA Football Conference all-star team. The Cats allowed a miniscule six points per game which led to four players being recognized on that side of the ball. Grade 9 standout Ben Hladik and Chase Larsen (Grade 11) made the squad as defensive ends, while safety John Garvie (Grade 11) and cornerback Zach Hyer (Grade 10) were recognized for their work in the secondary. “Our defence was stout all year long allowing a maximum of one touchdown per game through our first 10 games,” said Panther head coach Sean Smith. On the offensive side, seniors Jaxon Toth (left tackle) and Dylan Cleland (centre) joined Andy Hladik (tight end) as the three Grade 12 all-stars. Karson Patommel was named as an all-star tailback as well as being named the Top Grade 11 player.
Karson Patommel
Jaxon Toth
Tailback Zac Kronbauer (Grade 11) captured the Top Offensive Player in the league. “This team had a lot of great athletes,” said Smith. “However, every one of these guys also had work ethic that went along with it. They all pushed each other in practice which raised the level of the team. The encouraging part is that we are only losing three of our nine all-stars, which bodes well for the future of Panther football.” Further recognition was also given to both Toth and Patommel at the provincial level. Toth was voted a top offensive lineman in B.C. and Patommel was named one of the Top AA Grade 11 players. “Being named to the provincial team is a huge honour for those two players. It’s tough for our guys to get the respect of Lower Mainland coaches, so for them both to make the team is a big deal.” Toth, who turns 17 in early December, was highly effective as a 6-foot-3, 220-pound left tackle.
“It’s pretty cool,” said Toth. “I guess I made some good blocks and was pretty consistent. We had an undefeated season until the playoffs and it would have been nice to go further.” Toth, who cheers for the B.C. Lions and New England Patriots, is unsure of his football future. “Whatever happens,” he said. Patommel, who will be 16 in February, transferred to the Panther Pit from Kalamalka Secondary in the fall. “It’s pretty important,” said the 6-foot-3, 200pound power runner. “It’s good to know I’m competing against the province’s best, not just in our conference.” Patommel, who also played outside linebacker, supports the Seattle Seahawks and New York Giants. A box and field lacrosse player who also mountain bikes, he likes the Green Riders by 20 in Sunday’s 101st Grey Cup.

Vees sink Snakes in second period Morning Star Staff
The Penticton Vees used a four-goal outburst over a five-minute span in a 5-2 B.C. Hockey League win over the Vernon Vipers Wednesday night at the South Okanagan Events Centre. Leading 1-0 on Anthony Conti’s (7th goal) snipe 15 minutes into period one, the first-place Vees (15-5-1-2) surged ahead midway through the second frame. Cody DePourcq (9th) started the barrage in front of 2,700 fans when he pounced on a rebound on netminder Austin Smith’s doorstep at 9:56. DePourcq, named first star, then assisted on captain Brad McClure’s marker, his teamleading 17th, 40 seconds later after a Viper turnover at the blueline. The 5-foot-6, 160-pound DePourcq said the Vees had success when they drove to the net in the Interior showdown. “You look at guys like Conti and (Jack) Ramsey, some of our bigger players, they like to take the puck to the net which is very good,” said the Penticton product. “When you crash the net, good things happen.” Added Vees’ head coach Fred Harbinson: “I thought once we started having some success, I think we smelt a little bit of blood in the water and we just kept going to the net hard and things happen.” Smith was replaced by Danny Todosychuk after allowing three goals on 16 shots. Todosychuk, who finished with 15 saves, didn’t fare much better as the Vees potted another 55 seconds later by third star Coatta (12th). Second star Travis Blanleil (6th) capped the goal-spree four minutes later when he jammed in a rebound at the side of the net.
PERCY HÉBERT/BLACK PRESS
Patrick Sexton (left) of the Penticton Vees and Liam Coughlin of the Vernon Vipers drop the mitts off the opening faceoff of Wednesday night’s BCHL Interior Division showdown at the South Okanagan Events Centre. The Vees scored four unanswered second-period goals en route to a 5-2 win. “It was a disappointing outcome,” said Vernon captain Ryan Renz. “We came out and played, by our standards, not too bad of a first period. Then to come out and lay an egg in the second, it was definitely a tough
loss to take for sure. “They’re definitely the quickest playing team we’ve played in a while, and they use their speed effectively and created some chances.”
Vernon (13-7-2-4), tied with the Merritt Centennials (15-9-1-1) for second in the Interior, finally responded with a pair of goals in the third period. D-man Kenny Citron converted a nice feed from Renz for his first-ever BCHL goal at 6:05. Chase McMurphy, with his third goal in five games since joining Vernon from the USHL’s Tri-City Storm, completed the offence. Matty Saharchuk (2) and Demico Hannoun also drew assists. “We wanted to put together a good 20 minutes and show some character and not just let them roll over us,” said Renz. “It’s nice to get a few goals, but it still stings.” Vernon visits the recently overhauled Trail Smoke Eaters (7-16-2-1) tonight at Cominco Arena. The Snakes entertain the West Kelowna Warriors (14-8-0-2) Saturday at Kal Tire Place. The Warriors scored four first-period goals as they cruised to a 6-2 win over the Salmon Arm SilverBacks (13-9-1-3) Tuesday at the Shaw Centre. Jason Cotton, with 2+2, and captain Matt Anholt (2) led the Warrior offence. Bryden Marsh and Vernon’s Alex Jewell answered for the ‘Backs. SNAKE BITES: The Vees lead their regular-season series with Vernon 2-1...Vernon’s Liam Coughlin and Penticton’s Patrick Sexton entertained the crowd with a solid scrap off the opening faceoff...Coughlin’s line with Dexter Dancs and Michael McNicholas was held pointless for the first time in six games. The trio combined for 37 points over that span...The Vipers are 11-1-1-3 when they score first, and are 2-5-1-1 when the opposition scores first.
Cochrane deuce propels Knights past Summerland Morning Star Staff
It took him a game to get settled in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, and once he did, Tanner Cochrane delivered in a big way for the North Okanagan Knights. Cochrane, a 20-year-old forward from Kamloops, formerly of the BCHL Chilliwack Chiefs, scored the winner and added some insurance as the Knights brushed back the host Summerland Steam 5-3 Tuesday night. Knights’ head coach Shawn Webb said Cochrane may have been guilty of underestimating the league in his debut last Friday against Kelowna. “He was trying to do too much,” said Webb. “We just had to get him to relax and play the game. “In the BCHL, he’s a grind-it-out guy. Here, he’ll have the chance to put up some points.” Webb grabbed Cochrane from the Golden Rockets, who

held his KIJHL rights, for future considerations. The 6-foot, 175-pound forward had 6-19-25 and 162 penalty minutes in 87 career BCHL games. North Okanagan’s other Tanner – Burns – recorded the equalizer midway through the third period after the 11-111-1 Steam had rallied from a 2-0 deficit to take the lead. Linemates Mat Lambert and Brett Hawrys set him up with a gorgeous tic-tac-toe play. Burns, a 20-year-old Vernon native, left the game after crashing into the boards and will be out indefinitely with an upper-body injury. Reece Steen, with his first KIJHL goal, put the Knights (10-11-0-1) on the board 9:16 into the first period on a seeing-eye point shot that beat Brett Huber five-hole. Vernon’s Logan Geefs (4th) roofed a backhander from in close before the intermission. The Steam responded midway through period two on a snipe by Paulsen Lautard (9th). They drew even on a 5-on3 goal by Dylan Burton (3rd) with 5:31 to go in the frame,
and took the lead early in the third period when Daylan Robertson (8th) scored again on the powerplay. North Okanagan’s TJ Christensen (6-foot-4, 220 pounds) and Summerland’s Olli Dickson (6-foot-1, 205 pounds) entertained the crowd with a spirited heavyweight tilt late in the second frame. Webb credited his captain for reading the game and picking the right time to spark his team. “He addressed our team’s need at that moment and got the troops riled up,” said Webb. Knights’ netminder Zach Dyment recorded 36 saves for his fifth win. Huber made 27 stops. Webb has moved smooth-skating forward Morgan Johnston back to defence for a trial period. “He’s aggressive, he’s strong and that’s something that’s been lacking from our back end.” The Knights, who are 3-7 in their last 10 outings, host the 13-11 Osoyoos Coyotes tonight (7:30) at Nor-Val Sports Centre. They visit the Sicamous Eagles (9-12-0-2) Wednesday.

Morning Star Staff
Elias Wery pulled the hat trick as the Vernon Stevenson Mechanical Thunderbirds clipped host Lumby 7-6 in Sunday’s final of the Stars’ eight-team Pee Wee rec hockey tournament. Wery recorded the natural hatty with two goals in the second period and the winner in the third. His linemates Jacob Wettlaufer (four assists) and Ryan Vandesande (1A) were highly effective. Mike Pusey and Zachery Manthorne each scored once with strong support from linemate Wyatt Gatzke. Landen Harison opened the T-Birds’ scoring at 3:55 of the first period, while defensive partner Brady Beacom made an end-to-end rush for a snipe over the left shoulder of Stars’ goalie Michael Preston in the second. Jaden Foster and Isaac White rounded out a stingy back end in front of marvellous goaltending from Jared Ross and Jordan Foster. Vernon coaches Paul Wery and Grandpa Joe O’Hearn noted “all 15 players showed up and played their little backsides off, and one injured player, Aidan Rivard, was there to root his team mates on.” Tage Kineshanko (4) and Drew Mackenzie (2) replied for the Stars, who got two helpers from Morgan Holland. Josh Litven and Payton Kineshanko joined Tage Kineshanko as Lumby’s stars of the game. Vernon stuffed the Langley Thunderbirds 9-3, outlasted the Kamloops Coyotes 7-5 and stopped the Kelowna Sharks 7-5 in their other games. The Stars, sponsored by Kineshanko Logging and Green Velvet Lawn & Tree Care, doubled Vernon Bannister GM Heat 8-4, iced the Kelowna Avalanche 6-2 and zapped the Kamloops Rangers 8-3 to finish first overall in pool play. Jacob Brewer bagged 2+1 as the Butcher Boys Raptors rattled Salmon Arm Askew’s Foods 6-1 Sunday at Civic Arena. Nicolas Petty, Chase Batchelor, Sapien Joe and game MVP Aiden Skinner also supplied goals for the Raptors, who got one assist from first-time Atom call-up player Tyler Kruysifix.

North Okanagan Knights forward Quito Bruns celebrates a goal against the Vernon Summit Financial Lakers in North Okanagan Atom Super League play Sunday morning at Civic Arena. Martin Grenier, assisted by Bryton Stead, opened the Winterhawk attack versus the Stars, followed by Brian Ferguson going roof daddy after a Stead feed. Defenceman Leland Riguedell recorded an end-to-end rush and buried a low hard shot. The Winterhawks rolled into Winfield on Sunday with both teams looking for their first win of the regular season. Captain Rowyn Lewis-Hatherley finished with 2+2, while Chris Pyle earned 1+2 and other goals came from Brennan Seltzer and Stead, with the winner after a great possession shift by Pyle and Parker Wadsworth. Bold defensive play from Layk Petersen, Riguedell, Tyler Yule and Daniel Deshane boosted the Winterhawks, who got solid netminding from Corey Lehoux and Colton Annis all weekend.

After Winfield rallied with four consecutive goals, the 3-2-1 truckers equalized midway through the third period with breakaway goals two minutes apart from Aaron Botterill and Cam MacKenzie.
Lakers draw Knights
The Vernon Summit Financial Lakers battled to a 5-5 tie with the North Okanagan Knights in Atom Super League play Sunday morning. Robyn Alexis earned the gold jersey for her tough defence, while Mackenzie Miller (2), Emma Roine, Shelby Richard and Kristi Vassberg sparked the offence. Kendra Grant and Josey Nerling each had an assist, while Emily Branter was solid in net.
For 16-year-old Liam Semeniuk, third time is lucky. After missing out on 2011 and 2012 trips to Vancouver and Toronto respectively with the University of Calgary Dinos’ failure to make it to the Vanier Cup, Semeniuk is with the team in Quebec City for Saturday’s 49th Vanier Cup between the Dinos and defending champion Laval Rouge et Or. He will be on the sidelines performing his duties Saturday in a game that will be telecast on Sportsnet 360. A Grade 11 student at Vernon Secondary, Semeniuk flew to Calgary Monday night and performed his equipment manager duties at a frigid, snowy practice at 7 a.m. Tuesday at McMahon Stadium. He then boarded a charter bus for Calgary International Airport and departed with the team for Quebec City at noon with a plane change in Toronto. Going to Laval is nothing new for Semeniuk. Liam accompanied the team for their pre-season game at the end of August. “I waited three years for this,” said an ecstatic Semeniuk. Semeniuk and the Dinos were not expecting to see Laval so soon. 2013 was supposed to be a rebuilding year for Calgary as a multitude of starters either graduated or turned professional, but when the Dinos blasted the previously No. 1 ranked Western Mustangs 44-3 Saturday afternoon, Liam and the Dinos were headed back East where the season began. For the past three summers Semeniuk has served as an equipment assistant for the Dinos. His varied duties include filming practice, helping collect laundry, running practice, setting up and collecting equipment before and after practice, to name a few. “Liam has been instrumental in helping us over the last three summers in spring and fall training camps,” said head equipment manager Johnny Carr. “Even though he lives in Vernon, he still is part of the team. The last three years we promised him he could go to the Vanier if we made it and his school work was good.”

Sensible BC facing challenges jeff nagel Black Press
Dana Larsen isn’t conceding defeat yet, but the head of the Sensible BC campaign to reform marijuana policing is already talking about another petition drive if the one now underway fails. Canvassers have less than three weeks left before the Dec. 9 deadline to submit the petition bearing the signatures of 10 per cent of eligible voters in every B.C. riding. They have around 150,000 signatures counted as of Nov. 19, or about half the number needed and far short of their target of 450,000 to provide a buffer against disqualified signatures. “In at least half
of the ridings we are struggling,” Larsen said Tuesday, adding that means a quarter or less of the signatures have been gathered. “We have a long way to go.” Districts with the lowest numbers of signatures include Cariboo, Fort Langley, Langley, Abbotsford and SurreyTynehead, Larsen said. Other areas where canvassers are doing well – either reaching their target or close to it – include Nelson, Creston, Vancouver’s West End, Penticton, Kelowna, Port Alberni and the Similkameen. “We always knew it was going to be a huge challenge going into the campaign,” Larsen said. “Theres a lot of fear out there. People would love
to sign the petition but say they’d lose their job or their employer told them not to. I find that disturbing that people are afraid to express a political opinion.” He said the main challenge has been the sheer logistics of collecting so many signatures in every riding in just 90 days. He noted 50,000 signatures came in over the past week, adding a continued surge in the numbers up to the deadline could still put them “in the ballpark.” Campaigners aim to pass the proposed Sensible Policing Act to bar police from spending any time or resources enforcing the federal law against possessing small amounts of marijuana.
A successful petition would require the B.C. government to introduce the pseudodecriminalization bill in the Legislature or else put it to a referendum like the one that defeated the harmonized sales tax. The government held that referendum after Fight HST forces gathered 705,000 petition signatures. “Whether or not we get all the signatures we need, this campaign will absolutely continue,” Larsen said, adding the “army” of supporters will
push towards marijuana legalization on multiple fronts. He said Sensible BC could stage a new petition in the months ahead and try again, potentially getting out of the gate faster by quickly re-registering the 4,000 canvassers now signed up. “I don’t think we will relaunch immediately,” Larsen said, adding the group would take time to study what worked and what didn’t in the event of defeat. “But almost certainly we would try again in the future.

It was 1960 when he and my mother pulled up stakes in the Okanagan, where their families had been for generations, and moved north to carve a homestead out of a half section in the Peace River country. So it’s a mainly northern perspective that I bring to the latest debate over B.C.’s Agricultural Land Reserve. A dialogue of the deaf has been going on for decades in B.C., where there are two separate realities in agriculture. The dominant voice is always from the southwest, from the Okanagan to the Fraser Valley to southern Vancouver Island. This is not only B.C.’s most productive land, it’s also the place of greatest population and develop-
ment pressure, where three million of the province’s four million residents live and more arrive every day. In the rest of the province, except for pockets that are attractive for recreational development, farming is a tough Tom Fletcher row to hoe. These days, people are more likely to be moving away. In our urbanized society, the loudest voices tend to be the least informed, from backyard-chicken hipsters to what I call “drive-by environmentalists,” who like to look out their car windows at green fields as they motor from their subdivisions to big-box stores. The elderly Sikhs and Mexican guest workers bent over in the fields don’t need their lofty lectures on “food security.” Voices from the rest of the province are seldom heard and quickly shouted down, as was the case at the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver. Merritt councillor Mike Goetz pleaded for relief from an
B.C. Views
Agricultural Land Commission that refuses to release a property that has “grown nothing but rocks and tumbleweeds for the last 100 years.” Similar property next door was released, but not this parcel, blocking a project for five years in a little town that could use the work and additional tax base. Urban sprawl isn’t a big problem in Merritt, which like many small towns is trying to hang onto its population. Spallumcheen councillor Ed Hanoski described the situation beyond the towns, the real rural B.C. He proposed easing the restrictions on building a second home on farm properties. Currently, farmers can put a mobile home on their property for an elderly or infirm relative, but nothing with a permanent foundation. Once that relative moves or passes away, the home is supposed to be removed. Hanoski said a sewage system for such a residence costs around $12,000. Add the temporary foundation, skirting, well hookup, power, landscaping, driveway, and a mobile home that will lose its value if it has to be moved, and the prop-
erty owner takes a loss of $150,000 or more. That’s why the removal rule is routinely ignored in rural B.C., Hanoski said. These second homes are the only rental stock there is, providing modest income for marginal farms, and should be allowed permanent foundations. Motion defeated, after a scolding from a Sunshine Coast delegate about people lusting to build mansions on farmland. I asked Bill Bennett, the cabinet minister in charge of the latest agricultural land review, about a rumoured proposal to split the province into two zones with different rules. He declined to comment, but described the case of Fort Steele Farms, the East Kootenay community’s only market garden that almost closed because the next generation was initially refused permission for a second home. The two zones approach deserves serious consideration.

Residents looking for something special for Christmas will also be able to help those in need. During the Shoparama Christmas Market Dec. 7 and 8, non-perishable food items will be collected for the Vernon food bank. “Last year, shoppers and event organizers combined to provide food and cash donations of worth more than $6,000,” said David MacBain, community ministries director with the Salvation Army. Though the food bank shelves are often in need of most food items, a few suggested items are: Boxed grains (rice, cereals, pastas) Peanut butter School snacks Pasta sauces Canned tomatoes Baby formula The Shoparama Christmas Market takes place at the Vernon Recreation Complex. “Thank you for considering supporting the Salvation Army food bank while having a blast shopping for that special Christmas gift,” said MacBain.
The provincial government is providing $3,650 in grants-in-lieu of property taxes to Lumby, and $102,427 to Vernon. These funds are included in the approximately $18.2-million in grants to 63 communities across the province. “Vernon and Lumby will use these funds to continue providing important local services to residents,” said Eric Eric Foster Foster, MLA for VernonMonashee. “Our municipal governments keep our cities and towns running smoothly and continue to make our communities a great place to live.” Grants-in-lieu are distributed annually and are payable on land owned by the provincial government, including courthouses, provincial government office buildings, and ambulance stations. Properties eligible for grants-in-lieu of property taxes are determined by the Municipal Aid Act.

Review reveals cost-cutting
tom fletcher
Black Press
The B.C. government has announced the first money-saving moves in its “core review” of provincial functions, eliminating Crown agencies that buy offsets for government carbon emissions and manage heritage properties in the Victoria area. The functions of the Pacific Carbon Trust and the Provincial Capital Commission will continue, but will be run directly by government ministries, Energy Minister Bill Bennett announced Tuesday. Bennett, minister in charge of the core review, said winding up the Pacific Carbon Trust is expected to save $5.6 million annually by 2015. The CEO and 13 staff are to be offered other positions in government and Bennett said he does not expect severance to be paid. Winding up the Provincial Capital Commission is expected to save about $1 million, while maintaining the agency’s cultural and student outreach programs. Capital region properties including St. Anne’s Academy, the Crystal Garden and the former CPR steamship terminal will continue to be operated by government, with no immediate plans to sell them. Post-secondary schools and health authorities will continue to pay millions to offset their fossil fuel use, and the money will go to industrial, forest and other projects deemed to reduce carbon emissions. Bennett said the government intends to adapt the program as has been done with public school offsets, so hospitals and universities can invest in their own energy-saving efforts. The Pacific Carbon Trust was criticized in a March 2013 report by former auditor general John Doyle. He said the two largest investments by the trust, a forest preserve in the Kootenays and a flaring reduction program for EnCana natural gas operations at Fort Nelson, would have happened without subsidies from provincial operations. Other offset projects funded by the trust include hybrid heating systems for the Westin Whistler Resort and Spa and the Coast Hillcrest resort in Revelstoke, as well as fuel substitution for mills and greenhouse operations. The program has been unpopular since it was established in 2008. “Who in their right mind considers a school or hospital a polluter?” said Jordan Bateman, B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation. “Taxpayers are spending millions on buying carbon credits for these facilities rather than providing front-line services.”

Show goes to dizzying Arabian Nights However, it’s not all monkey business when Okanagan Rhythmic Gymnastics and Cirque Theatre Company bring Aladdin to the stage Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
For those who saw the Okanagan Rhythmic Gymnastics and Cirque Theatre Company’s candy-coated presentation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in 2010, the young fellow that played the sweet, young lead is now all grown up. Charlie, make that Cameron FraserMonroe, a Vernon-based dancer who has been leaping to new heights, is about to soar again. And a magic carpet may be involved. This time he is starring in a new adventure as the street urchin who encounters love, greed, redemption and a magic genie in Okanagan Rhythmic Gymnastics and Cirque Theatre Company’s all new production of Aladdin’s Lamp. “I always knew I wanted to do Aladdin, and had found the perfect person to play him. I just needed him to grow up and fill out a little,” said Olympian director Camille Martens about her young ingenue, who is now in Grade 9 at W.L. Seaton Secondary. Besides Fraser-Monroe, Martens and her fellow coaches, including Brie-Anne MacPherson, are bringing together a talented team of their elite athletes as well as parents, grandparents and friends to stage the show at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Nov. 29 and 30. With the youngest of the athletes at age four and the eldest at 25, Martens says it’s been especially nice to see some men step up to the podium, so to speak. “In a girl’s sport it’s hard for dads to really be a part of it besides showing up at the competitions, but this way they really get to be a part of their little girl’s world,” said Martens. And that includes a few grandpas too. “I love the family atmosphere we have. We’ve now done this enough times that we have gathered a helpful and supportive group from a variety of ages and levels who get to be mentors and be mentored.” A collaborative process, the young performers have also been involved in the development of ideas for the show.

Cameron Fraser-Monroe as Aladdin is watched over by Halle Moger as the monkey Abu as he takes in the magic lamp in Okanagan Rhythmic Gymnastics and Cirque Theatre Company’s presentation of Aladdin’s Lamp, coming to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Friday, Nov. 29 and Saturday, Nov. 30. “I think once people have seen our shows, they have the framework. It’s an hour and 45 minutes, but it is not a dance recital — you don’t have to wait to see Suzie do her thing — it’s a production. And like all cirque shows, it’s engaging. And as we have 10 kids ranked in the top 10 in our country, novice and junior, it’s excellent athletics,” said Martens. This version of Aladdin doesn’t exactly
follow the Disney tale. Although the titular hero does have a pet monkey named Abu, and is challenged by the 40 thieves to go and steal, while Princess Jasmine hides her identity when she is presented by a group of unsuitable suitors when told she must marry, the gymnasts’ version also takes from the many different stories, and message, of the Arabian Nights and its predecessors.
“Everyone says they wrote it,” said Martens, who researched the story going all the way back to a Chinese folk tale, the earliest on record. “It travels all along the Silk Road from China to India to Pakistan and Egypt.... Jafar (the evil uncle in the Disney tale) is represented in all the stories as being from a different country.” What remains the same is the story’s undercurrent: the internal fight between what is good and what is not. In this adaptation, which will feature circus arts, drama, dance, music, gymnastics, acrobatics, and cirque-like storytelling, the story is the essential thread that pulls all the visuals together, said Martens. “The introduction shows the fight going on inside and is represented by two wolves. One is a liar and is egotistical, and the other is joyful and truthful. It depends on which one you feed that will win out in the end.” Local actor Burnet McLean, who has appeared in a number of Martens’ shows as well as at Powerhouse Theatre, plays both sides of the picture as the uncle and the genie. “The evil uncle represents all the things he wants: power, greed, while the genie is just lovable and goofy,” said Martens. They end up fighting with each other, which is quite a feat considering one actor is playing them both, she added. The story has also resonated with Martens’ younger gymnasts and performers, who play everything from beggars to animals in the marketplace to princesses. “When talking to the kids, I told them that if you walk through the streets or markets today, you will still see thieves and beggars, where there are no meals cooked for them. The one thing the kids couldn’t get over is that these children don’t have stuffies.” And then there is the other side of the picture, the colourful Arabian costumes and the sultan’s palace. With set and lighting designed by Dave Brotsky, you can expect a grand affair, said Martens, “Brotsky went nuts again,” she laughed, referring to the former drama teacher’s flair with a hammer, wood, nails, and paint. “He has built the set on levels and it’s been a challenge to leave enough floor space.” Aladdin’s Lamp takes the stage at the Performing Arts Centre Friday, Nov. 29 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 30 at 2:30 and 7 p.m. Tickets are $16/children 12 and under, $20 students and seniors (65+), and $28/adult, with family packages available at the Ticket Seller, 549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.

hen Tim (Domhnall Gleeson) turns 21 he is told an amazing secret by his dad (Bill Nighy): All the men in their family can travel into the past and change Taylor and Howe their present by simply thinking about a particular memory from their lives. Tim decides to use his power to find a girlfriend, succeeding with Mary (Rachel McAdams). They build a normal, wonderful life together. Tim occasionally uses his power to change certain things in his life and the lives of others, with mixed results. We ask: “It’s charming, sweet and touching, but could it have been more imaginative?” HOWE: I was really looking forward to About Time. Not just because it’s another British movie, as we all know how fantastic they are at film making, but more due to the

Tim (Domhnall Gleeson) can travel in time and his wife Mary (Rachel McAdams) doesn’t know. writer of the story, Richard Curtis. He’s given us hit after hit with classics like Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill and Love Actually. TAYLOR: I haven’t seen any of those movies, but I didn’t mind About Time. Gleeson and McAdams are cute and charming. The life our two main characters build together is idyllic, perhaps even in its suffering, but not unbelievable, other than the time travel. About Time certainly doesn’t answer any of the truly interesting questions raised by the time travel story device, but I don’t think it’s supposed to. This is cotton candy,
it’s fun to eat but it’s hardly substantive. It made me smile. I laughed once. I heard a woman in the audience sniffing, open her purse for a tissue, and laugh at herself for crying. HOWE: I just felt this time out the format fell a little flat. The film had too much of the same old story from the Curtis checklist: #1 Boy always chases girl, never the other way around. #2 It’s always a posh sounding boy, who in reality is a little thick. #3 At least one member of the family is crazy. #4 A fantastic soundtrack. MICHELLE: Excuse me boys, as Peter’s wife, I thought
I’d better interrupt. This movie reminded me of The Butterfly Effect, without the “How the heck did he manage to mess that up?” It has all the English charm and proper pacing, so that one does not feel like they are constantly being slapped upside the head. Curtis lulls viewers into his movies through a thoughtful, surprising and funny script that contains extremely romantic subtle gestures. I appreciated being able to relax and enjoy an engaging story rather than feeling stressed out because a movie like this could have been overthe-top ridiculous. (Sticks tongue out at Peter.) TAYLOR: About Time is a romantic comedy with a touch of poignant realism that grounds it effectively enough to allow you to appreciate the fantasy. There are valuable lessons about living a more consciously appreciated life, which can’t hurt. The seriousness of it removes it from merely being another Groundhog Day. It’s an excellent date movie. – Howe gives About Time 3 Pandas out of 5. – Michelle gives it 4 clenched fists out of 5. – Taylor gives it 3.5 fingers out of 5.

Female poets show they are a force Morning Star Staff
People tell Sandra Lynn Lynxleg that her writing is brave. To her, writing is a way of expressing her truth. Lynxleg is the district principal of aboriginal education in the Vernon school district. She’s also a poet, who will be releasing her first Sandra Lynxleg col le c t ion, Glass Beads, Monday at Vertigo Voices. The collection is complied of the looking glass beads of Lynxleg’s life and experiences, which fellow poet Susan Musgrave says “speaks with a power not granted by our culture.” Poet Wendy Morton, who worked with Lynxleg on a collaborative project between local aboriginal students and elders, said, “Lynxleg looks hard at her Aboriginal heritage, and her fine poems inform us… These are brave poems.” Lynxleg, herself, seems a bit perplexed by all the talk of bravery. “My sister called me brave. I didn’t understand how she saw this in my writing,” she said. “When I was 13, she took me aside and said
The cover of Glass Beads is also significant. It features beadwork by Lynxleg’s grandmother, Florence Lynxleg, as drawn by her daughter Denver Willis Lynxleg, a graduate of Emily Carr University. Lynxleg will be joined by six other women poets from the Southern Interior at the reading. Michelle Barker of Penticton, Heidi Garnett and Sonnet L’Abbe of Kelowna, Sharon Thesen of Lake Country, Laisha Rosnau of Vernon, and Karen Hofmann of Kamloops will all read from the anthology, Force Field: 77 Women Poets of British Columbia. “It’s so exciting that we’ve been able to bring together all these acclaimed, award-winning poets on one night,” said Rosnau, who is a co-organizer of the Vertigo Voices series. “These are women of different ages, from different cultural backgrounds, writing in different styles. The thing that unites us is a love of writing, and of arts, culture, and creative expression. It’s going to be an amazing night.” The launch of both Lynxleg’s Glass Beads and the Force Field anthology reading is Monday at Gallery Vertigo, #1-3001 31 St., upstairs. Doors open at 7 p.m. and readings begin at 7:30 p.m. For more information, call (250) 503-2297.
to tell the truth because it happened. Lies didn’t. Poems are my truth. Truth as I know it.” A status member of the Tootinaowaziibeeng reserve in Manitoba, Lynxleg was born in Halifax, N.S. and has lived in nearly every province. She holds both a bachelor of education and a master’s in creative writing from UBC. Lynxleg began learning about Aboriginal history after 1979 and about residential schools while at university. “I wasn’t raised Indian. I wasn’t raised white. (I) never lived on the reserve, only played, slept, ate, visited, and sun danced there (once),” she said. It would be the Native Indian Teacher Education program at UBC that would begin Lynxleg’s journey towards the page, poetry, poets, and her publisher, Black Moss Press. “It would take failing English literature courses; being told I couldn’t write my way out of a paper bag that would shut me down. Stop me. Feed my fear of voice and writing,” said Lynxleg, who credits Dr. Shirley Sterling, known as Seepeetza, in helping her to find another path to success. “She gave me a way to express voice, history, language, and culture through creative form. It was a journey to call myself a writer.”

For this workshop, participants will learn ideas about acting in a group, physical storytelling, big and simple action, and the importance of rhythm in story. “We are offering this workshop because it is fun, but also because we are working on a theatrical project that has no words at all,” said Runaway Moon’s artistic director Cathy Stubington. The workshop is designed for all ages, and no acting experience is necessary. This will also be an opportunity to find out about A Small Miracle, and to participate in the show, which runs in December.

Enderby’s Runaway Moon Theatre is inviting the public to participate in a free workshop Sunday in regards to the remounting of its theatrical presentation, A Small Miracle. Visiting theatre director Varrick Grimes will lead participants through a series of games, introducing fun and exciting ways to communicate meaning through non-verbal sound and non-verbal action. “Humans communicate more through physical gesture and tone of sound, than we do through actual words,” said Grimes, a physical theatre instructor at Toronto’s Humber College, where Runaway Moon recently completed a residency. Grimes has returned to Enderby to work on A Small Miracle after directing it in Stratford, where he lives with his wife and two children. Grimes has also directed large-scale community

A star shines in Bethlehem
Morning Star Staff
In the 21st century, there aren’t many places where you can barter for goods, join the Roman army or learn how to shepherd a flock of sheep. But for a few magical days each year, the first century comes alive at Emmanuel Baptist Church, with Bethlehem Star. The annual event, Dec. 6 and 7, welcomes people of all ages to experience Bethlehem at the time of Christ’s birth. “For our congregation, it is a privilege to work together and share a journey, an experience of what it might have been like at that time,” said Terri Jones, with the church. “We are happy to share it with our community.” The journey begins in the marketplace, bustling with activity. Participate in the Roman census and receive a few shekels to spend in the market. Vendors will be busy selling their wares, everything from toys, leather and spices, to tea, wool and bread. “The shepherds are in from tending the flock and have brought in some sheep and goats,” said Jones. “See if you have what it takes to be a soldier in the Roman army — there is something for everyone.” From the marketplace, watch the live theatrical play, Wise Men Still Seek Him. It’s
a journey with the wise men as they seek and find the Messiah. “He was just a boy; they did not know what his life would hold, but they believed in who he was. Take the journey with the wise men as they ponder the life of Jesus.” The play runs every half hour, with the last play half an hour before closing each evening. “Each year in the live play we try to share a glimpse of what different people may have been thinking and feeling.” The journey continues to the Christmas Wonderland. Live stills capture those longago moments when: angels proclaimed the news to startled shepherds; Mary and Joseph pondered their new baby; and wise men consulted the skies. “We round out the journey in the Christmas Wonderland where the love given on that first Christmas is still real today.” Pass under the arch and see presentday shoppers celebrating those long past moments with their own acts of love — evidence that the message brought by the star is still real today.” A cup of hot chocolate and a snack will round out your journey. The entire journey from marketplace, to the live play, to Christmas

Barb Haupt sits in front of a cabin in the Christmas Wonderland section of Bethlehem Star. Wonderland takes about one hour to complete. Watch for the “Star of Bethlehem” shining every night from the church. “Just follow the light shining in the evening sky right to Bethlehem. This Christmas, take your family and friends on a spectacular journey you won’t want to miss.”
Bethlehem Star takes place Dec. 6 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and Dec. 7 and 8 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., both days. Emmanuel Baptist Church is at 341215th Ave., Vernon, with parking across the street at the army camp. For more details, see www.emmanuelvernon.ca

Show is ready to Raise the Woof Morning Star Staff
Pooch Partners is ready to Raise the Woof in support of a good cause. The fundraising comedy show takes place Saturday at the Powerhouse Theatre, with proceeds going to the Okanagan Humane Society and HugABull. “We have been assured that ‘fowl’ language is not part of the act,” said Marti Giroux, with the Okanagan Humane Society. “Raise the Woof is a group of comedians who travel around Canada doing fundraisers for animal organizations.” Presented by Pooch Partners, the evening also includes door prizes, a silent auction, wheel of fortune and other fun events. “And Fix Auto Collision has generously donated free car wash cards and the first 75 or so who come through the door will get one,” said Giroux. “It’s an instant door prize.” And once again, the K-9 unit of the Vernon RCMP has
D
donated a training day to be bid on at the silent auction. “This is something not readily available to the public and the successful bidder will spend a day with the K-9 unit tracking, watching drug search and seizure and criminal apprehension — it sounds exciting!” HugABull is a rescue and advocacy group for pit bulls, whose motto is “understanding the most misunderstood breed.” The Okanagan Humane Society helps to control pet overpopulation through education and by assisting lowincome families with the cost of spaying or neutering their pet. The show takes place Saturday at 8 p.m. at Powerhouse Theatre in Vernon. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are $30, available at hugabullokanagan@gmail. com, by calling Giroux at 250260-4218 or at www.poochpartners.ca. If they have not sold out, tickets will also be available at the door.

Had enough of caregiving
ear Annie: When I married my husband, he was divorced with a college- aged daughter. For some reason or other, she did not complete her degree. After college, “Connie” got a job and her own apartment. She became pregnant by a co-worker and had a son. Her dad and I were very disappointed. Later, Connie moved to another state and had two more children with the same man, but no marriage. Her dad and I supported her and paid her rent Kathy Mitchell & MarcySugar whenever she needed it. He advised her on the difficulties and disadvantages of raising children without marriage, but she didn’t listen. She moved back home three years before her father died. Her mother died two years later. My 57-year-old stepdaughter now lives in her mother’s house. Connie is on dialysis and lives on her disability income. I cook, clean and take her to the doctor. I also help with the bills. The problem is, I am now 70 and ready to retire and return to my hometown to spend time with my immediate family. My widowed sister has invited me to live with her. How long am I obligated
annie's mailbox
to support Connie physically and financially? Should I remain here and put my life on hold? — Had Enough Dear Had Enough: That’s up to you. You are the only parent Connie has, and you’ve stayed relatively close to her through the years. Some parents would sacrifice their personal happiness to care for a child, but others reach the point where they become resentful and feel taken advantage of. Can Connie manage without you? Could you look into available resources in her area for home health care, housekeeping and cooking, and perhaps contribute to the cost? Her children are adults now. It’s time they took over the responsibilities you’ve been handling. Talk to them. Dear Annie: I have been going to the same hairdresser for the past 12 years. Lately, I have received some pretty bad haircuts, and I’ve noticed that the salon is not as clean as it used to be. There is often hair from previous customers on the chair and the floor. I feel a strong connection to my hairdresser, and we’ve developed a friendship over the years, but I just can’t take another bad hairdo. I’m thinking of going somewhere else, but I don’t know how to do it. Should I just stop calling for appointments, or must I “break up” with her directly? — Can Hairy Leave Sally? Dear Hairy: After 12 years, your hair-
dresser deserves to know why you aren’t returning. Is it possible the salon is having financial difficulties? Might she be ill and unable to do the work she used to? Inquire about her well-being, and then tell her what’s been bothering you. Give her the opportunity to improve the situation before telling her you feel it is necessary to take your business elsewhere. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Dog-Free Wedding,” whose relative wants to bring her self-trained, poorly behaved “service” dog to the wedding. I have had a seeing-eye dog for 30 years. My dogs are trained at The Seeing Eye in Morristown, N.J. Those of us who use legitimate service dogs, guide dogs, hearing or other therapy dogs are confronting a huge issue: people who train their own dogs and those who get service dog equipment off of the Internet. They dress up their pets as service dogs and bring them into public places. “Dog-Free” has every right to refuse this person and her ill-behaved dog who was not professionally trained. If this relative has a legitimate disability and needs a dog, she should investigate the proper channels. Otherwise, she is jeopardizing the rights and privileges for which those of us with legitimately trained dogs have fought for more than 80 years. — New Germany, Nova Scotia

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder TRY TO ANTICIPATE THE UNUSUAL Elbert Hubbard was a writer, publisher, artist and philosopher who died when the Germans torpedoed the RMS Lusitania in 1915. He said, “If pleasures are greatest in anticipation, remember that this is also true of trouble.” Bridge players take great pleasure in making a contract after correctly anticipating trouble in the form of unfavorable distribution. In today’s deal, South is in four hearts. West leads the spade ace and continues with the spade queen. After ruffing, how should declarer continue? North’s takeout double was flexible, unlike a two-club overcall. Also, note South’s jump to four hearts. This
showed a relatively weak hand with a lot of hearts. With a very strong hand, South would have started with a two-diamond cue-bid. South hopes to take five hearts and five clubs. But he must realize that he might first concede one spade, one heart and two diamonds. However, he can lose two diamonds only if East gains the lead. Declarer must work to stop East from winning a trick. So, at trick three, when South leads a low heart from his hand, he should anticipate West’s playing the king. And if he does, South must go low from the dummy, letting West take the trick. Then everything is under control. Finally, if you would have bid (a very risky) one spade
with that East hand over North’s double, you would have reached four spades, which cannot be defeated. Also, if West doubles over four hearts, East might advance to four spades. (Rebidding four spades over four hearts is debatable, being less flexible than doubling.) Once again, bridge is a bidder’s game.

Welcome to the driver’s seat
The S3 really is the sweet spot for drivers that want to have extra power but with a very compliant and comfortable ride. Zack Spencer

Audi builds some of the most attractive cars these days still convey the same sense of power and solidity that bigger products portray.
ZACK SPENCER
Audi’s road ahead paved with more than good intentions 2014 Audi A3 Cabriolet/S3 MONACO: Over the next 12 months or so, consumers are going to be treated to an onslaught of new entries into the premium market. Not to worry, the next wave of German sedans and convertibles are of a more affordable nature. Recently Mercedes Benz introduced their all-new CLA 250 at an eye-popping price of just $34,000 for a sleek and sexy sedan. Next year we will see the introduction of BMW’s new 1-series and 2-Series sedans, coupes and convertibles. Audi has been ahead of the curve as they helped pioneer this entry-level segment with the original, the A3 sportback, sold in Canada for years. The all-new Audi A3 sedan will arrive in March of 2014 and the convertible and more powerful S3 sedan will arrive in the fall of 2014. This week I had a chance to drive both the convertible and S3 in Monte Carlo, a full year ahead of their introduction here. I suspect the real reason to have a media event so far in advance is to give the buying public some insight and possibly delay buying a competitor’s car. Audi is one of the fastest growing premium brands and a big part of that is the variety of cars they offer. Unfortunately, we will no longer get the sportback, but the fact we get the rest of the line of A3s is exciting for buyers.
Looks The A3 is built off a shared of the quietest on the market because of a special layer of sound insulation. platform with VW called MQB. This The interior headliner is colour-matched platform was a significant investment to the car for an added level of visual for the VW group as it is lighter, bigger pop, plus the roof can be and stronger than the raised or lowered while last Golf platform and the car is driving up to provides a sturdy basis 50km/h. for the A3 Cabrio and S3. The new Cabriolet is 60kg Inside Another lighter than the outgoing strength of Audi is European model, yet interior fit and finish the wheelbase is longer and these new products The A3 Cabriolet and the interior room are covered in first class and trunk more ample. It and S3 confirm that materials. The dash has could be argued that Audi good things do come a centre-mounted screen is building some of the for accessing the easy-toin small packages most attractive cars these use computer controller.

lours, plus an optional diamond pattern stitch can be ordered to take the sporty sedan to another level. I found the seating position very comfortable and outward visibility is not a problem. The Cabriolet seats are fitted with a heater that showers the front passengers with warm air across their shoulders and neck for top-down stints. The weather in Monte Carlo was perfect for the convertible – the sun was shining off the Mediterranean, showcasing this car of opulence at a more affordable price. Drive The Canadian models have not fully been nailed down, as there is still a year to go until the Cabrio and S3 arrive. What is established is the convertible will come with the all-new 2.0L direct injection turbo with 220hp, matched to Audi’s Quattro all-wheeldrive system. A six-speed automatic is confirmed but the duel-clutch S-Tronic transmission might be sold as an option in this model. There will be no manual shift and no diesel, which is a shame, as I drove one of the European versions with this setup and it was superb. The S3 comes standard with a 300hp version of the same 2.0L engine and the duel clutch automatic, and of course, AWD. It’s not as powerful as the 355hp Mercedes CLA 45 AMG, but I feel it has more usable power.

The all-new Audi A3 sedan arrives in March 2014 and the convertible in the fall continued from page B13
The CLA gets peak horsepower at very high revs, whereas this new S3 pulls from very low speeds up to higher speeds. I experienced this carving the switchback mountain roads just above Monaco. Power is not an issue; I would argue that the S3 is a better everyday car compared to the more nervous feeling AMG competitor. The suspension is more compliant and the power is a perfect combination of drivability and enthusiasm. At the end of our day I sat next to Florian Uselt, Audi’s head of small engine development, and I asked why they did not decide to chase the horsepower rating of 355hp from the Mercedes CLA AMG. His answer makes sense and was confirmed in the way the S3 behaves. He feels that everyday drivability and performance need to be balanced and they look at the car as a whole, meaning the environmental impact and fuel consumption as other targets, not just power. Audi claims a 0-100km/h run will take just 4.9 seconds in the S3 and use a combined 6.9L/100km (European fuel rating).
Verdict It is going to be an exciting time to be in the market for an entry-level premium car over the next year. The A3 Cabriolet and S3 confirm that good things do come in small packages. Pricing has not been established for the Cabrio but it was hinted that this model would be roughly the same price as the S3, which has been confirmed at $44,000, roughly $6,000 cheaper than the CLA AMG. The base A3 sedan will arrive in a few short months with a 1.8L turbo gasoline engine, an optional TDI diesel and the same 2.0L turbo found in the Cabrio. The S3 really is the sweet spot for drivers that want to have extra power but with a very compliant and comfortable ride. The combination of usable trunk space and back seat, simple yet elegant dash, power the driver can use at a lower price than the competition, is something potential buyer might want to wait a year to try first hand.

ollywood loves to incorporate hot classic cars into movies and television shows. Producers and insurers are also notoriously risk-averse, preferring to use replicas rather than the hyper-valuable real deal whenever possible. Here are some of our favorite big- and small-screen fakes: “Nash Bridges,” 1971 Plymouth Hemi ‘Cuda: The San Francisco cop show revived Don Johnson’s career, pairing him with Cheech Marin (half of the stoner comedy team of Cheech and Chong). The yellow car that appeared to be an ultra-rare Hemi ‘Cuda convertible was actually what is known as a “clone” or a car that started out as a lesser model but was restored to appear as a top shelf ‘Cuda. The difference in price is staggering — around 50 grand for the fake, more than $1 million for the real deal. “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” 1960 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder: The Ferris Bueller Ferrari is probably the best-known big screen fake. From a distance, it appears reasonably accurate, but Ferrari aficionados can spot the differences in their sleep, from the Triumph-sourced gauges to the MGB taillights. And don’t get them talking about the bogus Italian Borrani wire wheels. A real California Spyder is a $12 million car today. “Miami Vice,” 1972 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona: Don Johnson appears to be a bit of a magnet for fake cars. His black Daytona Spyder was actually a fake built on a Corvette chassis, and few Ferrari fans shed tears when the car was blown up in sight of Johnson’s character, Sonny Crockett, and his pet alligator, Elvis. Afterward, Crockett took to driving a white Ferrari Testarossa — a real one this time. “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” 1935 Auburn 851 Boattail Speedster: Indy’s sidekick Short Round still holds the record for the best automotive chase involving a pre-teen driver. With blocks tied to the pedals, Short Round takes Jones and a lounge singer on a wild ride through pre-war Shanghai. The car was, of course, a complete fake, and not a particularly convincing one at that. Rob Sass is the vice-president of content for Hagerty Insurance.

Why women can negotiate a
better car deal Alexandra Straub
Alexandra Straub For as long as Alexandra Straub recalls, she has loved cars. She can even remember thinking at the age of six, “Only ten more years until I can get my licence!” Born in Zurich, Switzerland to Hungarian parents, she moved to Canada when she was just a baby. Spending her summers in Budapest with her grandparents helped cultivate a strong liking for motorsports. Alexandra can remember watching F1 races with her grandfather, and still does even when she goes to visit. Over a decade ago, Alexandra started her career in the automotive industry. Since then, she has had countless stories and photos published. You can find her work online, in newspapers, magazines and on television. She has hosted “Shifting Gears Automotive TV” and regularly makes appearances on various shows talking about, you guessed it, all things automotive. When she’s not testing out the latest in vehicular goodness, you’ll either find her on a motorcycle (she tests and writes about those, too), on a track or traveling the world. While she considers her “job” her hobby, Alexandra enjoys other activities that don’t necessarily involve wheels, engines or motors. Growing up on the North Shore of Vancouver, she loves the mountains and the ocean. An avid snowboarder and a wannabe surfer, count on her enjoying the outdoors when she has the chance. And to really help her relax, she scrapbooks. Share your thoughts and requests with Alexandra at alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

For many people, buying a car is a stressful process. Something worse than going to the dentist or for women, a Brazilian waxing. Ouch. It can be a lengthy one too. Furthermore, it doesn’t always start by going from dealership to dealership. In fact, most people have access to the Internet, so they’re doing their research beforehand, prior to even leaving their home and finding themselves on a dealer lot, or with glossy brochures in hand. They look at various vehicle reviews, flip through newspapers (like the one you’re reading now) and ask other car owner’s opinions. When they get to the dealership, that’s when it becomes real. You take the car for a test drive, fall in love with it or walk away from it. When you find “the one” then comes the time to sign on the dotted line. But before you seal the deal, it’s time to negotiate, unless you’re happy with the price given. For women, this can be an even more intimidating process. Getting through the dealer’s door is just the first hurdle they feel they have to overcome. But for Vijay Jeyapalan, of Unhaggle (www.unhaggle.com), which helps Canadian car buyers get the best price on their new car by getting dealers to compete to offer the lowest price – he’d argue that women are better negotiators than men; an idea that challenges societal norms when it comes to car buying. Jeyapalan says, “Before stepping into the showroom or test-driving a vehicle, most women are recognized to have done their homework and pre-purchase preparations. This advantage allows them to properly assess what they want
upon arrival and ask the necessary questions to advance the car buying process.” His point centres on the notion that when you know less, you prepare more. With all the tools out there, it’s not as difficult or as time-consuming as it has been in the past. Sites dedicated

to women and automobiles are there to assist, as well as female car reviews, lifestyle writers, mommy bloggers and more. He adds that women don’t mind shopping around, browsing at various products, taking the information and then contemplating it. They aren’t always in a hurry to buy right then and there. “Many are convinced that the forceful tactics men use during negotiations are actually working against them in car buying situations. Men tend to focus on status and act upon superiority, which is a poor way of negotiating. “While the man says, ‘Take it or leave it,’ the woman might be more collaborative and willing to compromise—thus making them better negotiators. Listening is the key, not aggression and intimidation.” He goes on to say that, “Women understand that a common ground is usually the best platform for a fair negotia-
tion. Empathy plays a large role in that regards. Being able to view the situation from another person’s perspective doesn’t necessarily create an advantage, but it does allow the person to understand why they aren’t getting the upper hand.” Statistics show that more women are making car purchases that ever before. Granted they might not be experts when they walk in the door, but they generally know what they want. “The image of a damsel lost in a showroom, if it ever actually existed, is no longer something salespeople will see.” alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca
Drives-U-Crazy Impatient to get past Look, please just get it through your thick skull that I’ve signalled to park and you should let me get tucked into the space before you swing out to pass on this narrow road. It’s not a matter of etiquette, I have the right of way. If you had actually paid attention to my signal many cars back you would not have become stuck behind me and could have made a safe pass in the other lane.

Maybe plug-in Hybrids are really the way to go continued from page B18
You won’t achieve that all at once, unless it’s the dead of night on a flat road, without any other traffic and green lights all the way. However, it is estimated that if you achieve that 20-plus all-electric ride during a 100 km journey, the power unit will consume electricity/gasoline at an equivalency of around 1.6 L/100km. In truth, it’s hard to put a real life meaning into that number but it is useful when comparing with other similarly equipped cars. But when you look at that number and the low gas/hybrid combined fuel performance, which enables you to journey 800 kilometres on one tank, it does plant the notion in one’s head that plug-in hybrids are the way to go for a while before we reach hydrogen fuel cell nirvana. The car is powered by Honda’s first two-motor hybrid system, and uses a new, delightfully named, Earth Dreams 2.0 litre i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine

It’s fun to select EV mode and pull away in the morning in silence, operating as a pure electric vehicle. Even in stop and go traffic, it works well, the regenerative braking keeps topping up
the battery. As the speedo creeps up the gas engine kicks in quietly and smoothly. If you select HV mode it operates as a conventional hybrid. I drove a production version of the Ford Fusion Energi a few months ago, which is similarly equipped and impresses equally with its infrequent need to visit the pump. The plug in Toyota Prius is an-
other contender for the green dollar. The Ford is probably the nearest equivalent and sells for around $35,000 so that will be the sticker price to beat. I would like to hear from early adopters of the plug in hybrid technology about their experiences. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca
