Decision delayed in coach case ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
An American cross-country ski coach from a Seattle private school, arrested in December after allegedly putting a video camera in the room of female students at Silver Star Mountain Resort, will spend at least one more week Jason Paur in custody.
Judge J. Cartwright announced Thursday at the end of a 45-minute bail hearing into the matter against Jason C. Paur that she will need a week to make a decision. A publication ban prevents media from reporting on what happened at the bail hearing. Crown counsel is seeking detention for Paur, 43, while defence is asking for his release from custody. Paur, 43, is facing 10 counts under the Criminal Code of Canada: three counts

of secretly observing/recording nudity or sexual activity; three counts of breakand-enter a dwelling with intent or commit; two counts of making or publishing child pornography; and one count each of accessing child pornography and possession of child pornography. He was arrested after the discovery of a video camera allegedly belonging to him, found by students in a room occupied by girls at Silver Star. No date has been set for Cartwright’s decision.

Charges have now been laid in connection with a fire that seriously damaged an Enderby business in 2012. The Super Save gas station on Highway 97A suffered extensive smoke and water damage in a fire on Nov. 19, 2012. Firefighters said the blaze began in a back room. The station, owned by the Splatsin First Nation, has since been rebuilt. Charges were approved, following a lengthy investigation, on Feb. 7 against Donald Jeffrey Thomas, 43. He is facing six counts related to the Nov. 19, 2012 fire – mischief endangering life, mischief to property over $5,000, arson damaging property, arson for fraudulent purpose, destroying/ altering a book, etc. to defraud and attempt to obstruct justice. Thomas is slated to appear in Salmon Arm Provincial Court Feb. 18.
Crime wave sounds alarm Morning Star Staff
Vernon residents are being warned about a crime wave. Since Feb. 1, there have been 28 thefts from vehicles reported to the local RCMP detachment. “All but one of them have been in the City of Vernon. The thefts are not confined to just one area of the city but all over,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “Our officers responding to the investigations are finding that vehicle owners are leaving their vehicles unlocked with items that attract thieves left in view.” The police are asking owners to be more diligent in not leaving items in plain view and to lock up their vehicles. Anyone who sees suspicious activity in their area, like early morning visits from someone you do not recognize or on a bike that appears to be checking vehicles, is asked to call the RCMP immediately.

Vehicle crashes through 7-Eleven entrance ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Crystal Charlie wasn’t expecting an early end to her graveyard shift at a Vernon 7-Eleven Wednesday. Dealing with a customer in the 27th Street branch just after 6 a.m., Charlie was stunned to hear a car come crashing through the store’s front door and window. “It was right at the till and I was pretty much busy with the customer when all of a sudden the car comes through the door,” said Charlie, who has worked at the store for more than a year. “I never saw it coming. It was right beside me. The customer and I just jumped out of the way.” Charlie and the customer were not hurt by the vehicle, though Charlie admitted the incident shook her up. The car’s driver, a 63-year-old Vernon woman, was also uninjured. She told police she hit the brake. Police, however, are investigating whether she may have hit the gas pedal by mistake. “The car went across the parking lot, over a bumper in front of the sidewalk, over the sidewalk and into the building,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “There is a possibility the driver could be facing a charge under the Motor Vehicle Act.” The store was closed for only a few hours as maintenance crews cleaned up the damage. The store reopened before noon Wednesday. The incident was the second of its type

MotoPlex Speedway drops NASCAR from roster ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The popular NASCAR A&W Cruisin’ the Dub 300 auto race has pulled into pit lane at Spallumcheen’s MotoPlex Speedway and Event Park. And it’s not coming out in 2014. NASCAR has released its 2014 Canadian Tire series schedule and the MotoPlex stop – a fixture on the series every July since NASCAR took over the series from CASCAR in 2007 – is not on the list. “We decided last November we weren’t going to do the race this year and let them (NASCAR) know in November,” said Bob Newcombe, MotoPlex track manager.
MORNING STAR FILE PHOTO
NASCAR’s Canadian Tire series event, the A&W Cruisin’ the Dub 300, will not return to Spallumcheen’s MotoPlex Speedway and Event Park in 2014. Newcombe said the track was “moving in a different direction,” and that sponsors for the race were “getting hard to find.”
“It was a good event that drew good crowds,” he said. “We can bring the race back anytime we want.”
Milverton, Ont.’s Scott Steckly won the 2013 Cruisin’ the Dub 300, and drove his No. 22 Canadian Tire Dodge to the checkered flag in three of the last four years at the MotoPlex. Steckly won the 2013 NASCAR Canadian Tire season series. Stops in Quebec and Edmonton have been added to the NASCAR calendar to replace Cruisin’ the Dub 300 in 2014. Though the NASCAR event is out, there will still be events at the speedway in 2014. Newcombe is meeting with track owners next week to discuss the 2014 schedule. “We’ll have to see what comes to us,” he said. “Until I meet with

Limited opening for library
Falkland celebrates Morning Star Staff
Morning Star Staff
Some limited services are returning to Vernon’s library after a flood. The branch foyer will be open to the public only for book returns and holds pick-up. For those wanting to return or pick up books, the hours will be Friday and Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. “Programs are cancelled for the remainder of this week,” said Michele Rule, Okanagan Regional Library communications manager. The library was forced to close Tuesday after a pipe burst Monday, sending a torrent of water throughout the main floor. Restoration work continues and it’s not known when the branch will reopen fully to the public. “The Vernon branch is one of the busiest branches in the system and we appreciate the inconvenience that this is causing for our patrons,” said Rule.

Falkland residents are rallying behind the flag. Feb. 15, 1965 was the first time the Canadian maple leaf flag was raised above Parliament Hill. “It took many years of discussion and more than 2,600 submissions of possible designs were examined before an agreement was reached,” said Fran Nikon, with Falkland’s I Care campaign. On Saturday, businesses in Falkland will hand out stickers, tattoos and flag pins to bring attention to the flag’s birthday.

Police want clarity on prostitution laws richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Local police officers are looking for some certainty when it comes to prostitution laws.
B.C. is not prosecuting most offences related to prostitution after the Supreme Court of Canada deemed the current law was uncon-
stitutional. The federal government has a year to develop new legislation. “We take our direction from legislation,” said Supt. Reg Burgess, officer in charge of the Vernon RCMP. However, while the laws remain in limbo, Burgess insists his detachment will still focus on those who seek

All of them “ O u r agreed to attend approach john school is to do the where they learn enforceabout the negaReg Burgess ment to tive impacts of change the prostitution. behaviour,” he said. Once the court is com-
pleted, no charges are forwarded to Crown counsel. “There is the embarrassment and realization that they came close to a criminal record,” said Burgess. On Oct. 25, 2013, six women were arrested for communicating for the purpose of prostitution. “The focus of our
investigation was to connect the women with community resources in our city,” said Burgess. “Representatives from Interior Health met with each of them as part of our community mobilization to provide information relating to community services available to the women.”
City gives final blessing to 2014 budget richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Vernonites know exactly what the tax man expects from them. Council adopted the 2014 city budget Tuesday, including a 3.23 per cent increase in taxes, or an additional $30 for the average home.
“It’s one of the best budgets I’ve seen in the six years I’ve been on council,” said Coun. Bob Spiers. “It contained very little fat.” Of the 3.23 per cent, 1.9 per cent is designated for infrastructure improvements while the remainder of the money will go towards general operations.
“We’ve made a concerted effort to keep with the 1.9 per cent for infrastructure and to keep things low with inflation,” said Coun. Catherine Lord. “The direction from council to staff, and which has been carried about by the chief administrative officer (Will Pearce) is restraint, restraint, restraint.”

I am glad that we have reached this point and will continue to seek new initiatives for the betterment of our community.”
Sherwood departs Morning Star Staff
There has been a major shift in leadership at Silver Star Mountain Resort. The resort announced Wednesday that Michael Sherwood has resigned as general manager after 12 years. “It’s time for new challenges and while my time has ended at Silver Star, my passion and love for the resort has not,” said Sherwood, “We accomplished a lot in a relatively short time and it’s an incredible ski and summer Sherwood resort that attracts new loyalists every day. But as much as I love the resort, it was the people at Silver Star that really made my time there so memorable. The expertise, knowledge, and support of such a great staff made my job easier.” Under Sherwood’s guidance, the resort experienced many changes including the introduction of the My1Pass program where guests may alpine ski, nordic ski, skate, tube and snowshoe all with one ticket. He also led the development of summer activities. “We are very sad to see Michael go,” said Ian Grant, Silver Star Mountain Resort chief executive officer. “Michael’s business acumen and leadership led to the creation of an incredible management team comprised of some of the ski industry’s most talented people. His stewardship over the last five years in particular helped the resort navigate the rough economic waters of the post 2008 world.” Silver Star will immediately begin a search to replace Sherwood.
Stolen truck located Morning Star Staff
Vernon RCMP are asking the public for help in regards to a stolen vehicle incident. RCMP received a report of a stolen truck shortly before 2 a.m. Thursday from Rocky Mountain Transport, in the 2900 block of 41st Avenue. “The caller told police thieves broke a window to gain entry into the business and located a box of keys belonging to trucks parked in the yard,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. A 1999 black Chevy pickup had been stolen. Officers spotted the vehicle a short time later in the area of 36th Avenue and 33rd Street as one person got into the truck. “Our officers tried to stop the truck but it sped off at a high rate of speed,” said Molendyk. “Our officers did not pursue it.” The truck was recovered late Thursday afternoon in the 3300 block of 22nd Street. No arrest was made. Anyone with any information about the theft is asked to call the Vernon RCMP at 250-545-7171 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

A LOVEly occasion
ove is in the air today, for some of us. Whether you’re revelling in all this heartshaped day signifies or if cupid has missed his mark with you, Valentine’s Day can be a mid-winter blessing or another cruel reminder of our loneliness. Gushing hearts, love-filled notes, candlelit dinners, roses, chocolates and more are some of the traditional markings of Valentine’s Day for couples around the globe. Meanwhile others are left fuming red with envy as they have no significant other to share the day with. Jennifer Smith Having been married for more than six years to the man I dated for more than seven years prior to that, Valentine’s Day has kind of lost its novelty. We don’t go to the same extremes we used to, buying expensive flowers, cards and candy on a day retailers love to help us with the guilt factor, especially last-minute men. It’s not because we don’t need material items to say I love you – seriously, who doesn’t love getting a gift? And what girl doesn’t appreciate flowers? Or candy? Or chocolate (it’s practically in my meal plan)? But I say, save your money today and send some flowers when they’re on sale and not expected – those ‘just because’ surprises are the best kind. It’s not as if we don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day (and no I won’t say that phrase that makes people gag a little ‘Every day is Valentine’s Day with you honey!’ - give me a break). We’re actu-

ally getting a sitter and going for a nice dinner with some friends! But I do believe that today is simply a nice reminder to show your love and appreciation for each other more often - it can’t hurt. And it’s not just about romantic love interests. Valentine’s Day is a time to share with everyone. I’ve had a lot of fun doing so with my daughter this year, filling out little Valentine cards to send to family, friends and teachers. Just a little something to let those special people in our lives know that we care. Valentine’s Day is a good excuse to do so plus they make it pretty convenient with boxes of cute little notes with heartwarming messages you just have to address and sign for a couple bucks. Some even come with stickers, tattoos or candy - how cool is that? I’ve had such a blast filling out little Valentines that I think even if I didn’t have a kid as a reason to do so, all my friends and family would still be getting My Little Pony cards from me. I’m also excited to have an excuse to spoil my daughter with some special gifts from mom and dad. It’s something my mom did for us every year. Even as adults she’d have a special little card and treat for us every Valentine’s Day. My mother-in-law enjoys the occasion too, as she’s already spoiled her grandbabies and even helped them make a special gift for mom and dad (so sweet). So even though some see Valentine’s Day as a couple’s-only occasion, it’s far from it. Valentine’s Day is about love, and love is shared among many, and should be something we share throughout the year in our own little ways.
Vernon Winter Carnival may be coming to a close, but there’s still a plethora of activities to enjoy. The 54th annual, 10-day Carnival of Superheroes wraps up Sunday. So that still leaves three full days of activities to take in. Celebrate Valentine’s Day with some lovely events such as the St. James Valentine’s Day Family Fling at 5:30 p.m. or the Super Heroes in Love Dance at the Elks Hall at 8:30 p.m. The annual Carter Classic fundraiser kicks off events Saturday at 8 a.m. at Silver Star. Winter Carnival Family Day takes place in Polson Park Saturday with games, entertainment, a barbecue and more from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Or head to the Downtown Vernon Association office at 2 p.m. for a passport to judge the Chilli Cook Off. Get down at the Winter Carnival Blues Festival Saturday evening at the Vernon Recreation Complex or enjoy a Dinner of Champions at the Halina Centre. Sunday features a Kids Karnival at the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club from noon to 4 p.m., Toonie and a Tin Skate at Kal Tire Place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Appetizers and Art at the Village Green Hotel at 6:30 p.m. Each day there’s also events at the Okanagan Science Centre, snowshoeing adventures and the top peewee teams playing in the Coca-Cola Classic at the Civic Arena. But this a complete list, all the event details are online at vernonwintercarnival.com They don’t call it Western Canada’s largest winter event for nothing!

A caring community comes through
T
his being our fifth year of celebrating and sharing Christmas with our community, does not make it any easier at being able to say thank
you. How do you say thank you to so many people, businesses and organizations that donated to our cause and to the hundreds of volunteers who gave of themselves and their time for such an enriching experience for our community? How do you say thank you in a way that lets them know that from our whole being, we truly appreciate what our community did for our community? Without the support of The Morning Star, KISS and SUN-FM, the generous donations of numerous individuals, businesses and several organizations, we would not have been able to put this dinner on.
human eye It was with amusement that I read Mr. Bartholomew’s recent short homily on evolution (science) and intelligent design (creationism) which focussed on the eye. It demonstrates a lack of understanding of the physiology and anatomy of the eye (and cameras). The human eye is far from being intelligently designed. Before the light strikes the nerve endings receiving the light it must pass through a layer of blood vessels and neurons. Those nerve endings face backwards, away from the light source, so by the time the light reaches the nerve receptors it has been degraded. The main nerve creates a blind spot as it passes back through the receptive material of the eye. The human eye also has relatively poor night vision compared to many other species. The eagle eye is much more "intelligent." It does not have blood vessels in the way of the receptors, which face forward. Nourishment is provided by the pecten, which among its other attributes can detect magnetic fields (humans would never get lost if our eyes could do this!). The nerves come in at the back of the eye and do not cover the receptor ends. The eagle has five times as many neural receptors and two focal points for better distance and tracking vision (a trait that both hunters and gamers would appreciate).

Without our volunteers, the Christmas dinner on Christmas Day, with crafts, entertainment and a turkey dinner with all the trimmings would never have happened. Thank you to all of our guests, we hope your day was at least a little bit more special. What a wonderful and caring community we live in. We provided 300 sit-down meals and had 65 meals that were picked up or delivered for those that were shut-ins, that were unable to come out and enjoy our afternoon together. Thank you does not seem enough, but it will have to do. From a grateful Together for Christmas. angela Vecqueray, Joe dorval, Kari Sargeant and ron Birch
Eagles that have faulty vision tend to starve to death and thus do not pass on their bad genes. To survive, healthy eagles require good natural vision. Humans, between 75 and 90 per cent according to source, have some form of visual impairment (short or long sighted, astigmatism, et al). Light is but one section of the electro-magnetic wave length spectrum. Other animals can see ultraviolet, some see (or sense) infrared. Cameras, Mr. Bartholomew’s mechanical comparison, are able to ‘see’ these wave lengths, are able to see galaxies billions of miles away, to see microbes and organisms invisible to the human eye, can ‘see’ at night (from which: night vision goggles). The human eye is far from being a "superb instrument," adequate, but hardly the height of perfection. We would all be better off with the eye of an eagle (or some other bird of prey). Jim miles a theory I am neither a scientist nor an astrologist but may be considered to be an armchair thinker in both disciplines.

the same until proven otherwise. Recently as I lay in my hospital bed, I was playing with my oxygen tube, making various shapes with it. I made a large loop with it and held it up so the clock on the wall was in the centre. What a perfect model of our solar system. Then by pulling on this orbit at various points, the length of the orbit remained the same and the 365 days remained the same. From there, my imagination got away on me. What if some very large celestial body were to pass close enough to our solar system to exert a gravitational pull on its orbit to distort it without removing our planets from their orbit around the sun? Could this phenomenon occur every five million years causing the ice age cycle? As this body approached our solar system, the Earth would experience global cooling and as it moved on past our solar system, the gravitational pull would recede and as our orbit slowly returned to normal, the Earth would experience global warming. Now to consider our current circumstances on Earth today. We are so concerned about carbon emissions destroying our atmosphere, and rightly so, but is this as critical as we are led to believe? Did these conditions exist five or 10 million years ago during
the time of previous ice ages? If so, we would have to believe there were also populations advanced to the extent that they could produce these emissions. In conclusion, I humbly render this bulletin in support of my beliefs and look forward to any comments in support or denial of my theories. hugh rayment crown land Sandra Shore has got it right! “Off Road Vehicles need to be regulated.” Sorry Guys. As a snowmobiler, a retired Moto-crosser, and a past member of Search and Rescue. I can say with conviction that we need regulation for the survival of our “crown land.” Go for a nature hike and you will see much more when you do. (Maybe not what you want to see though) Check out what happened near Calgary a couple of years ago on Crown land. Some people with access to Crown land and too many toys, decided it was their right to use crown land as they saw fit and tear up what used to be nice campgrounds. Don't tell me you have never seen it happen here, because we all have and it's not pretty. Damn the few who do! I lived in Northern Alberta for a couple of years and in some
areas you will get ticketed for even unloading a quad. Some campgrounds will not even allow your vehicle in if there is a quad in the box of your truck. Do you really want that to happen here? Restrict it now before none of us can go in the bush with any motorized vehicle. Paul elmont

Armstrong may relocate sewage pond ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Thomas Hayes Road in the Township of Spallumcheen. Now, a new master

the city’s current waste management system from downtown out to its spray irrigation system at the Thomas Hayes Road property, which is located seven kilometres south of the city. “The plan analyzed our current system and gave us options to either repair the current assets we have downtown, or work on moving some of the assets out to the 160 acres at Thomas Hayes,” said Mayor Chris Pieper. Council looked at four options and chose one that includes maintaining the current system, which is working fine, and moving some of the settling ponds out of downtown, something proposed 20 years ago. “It shows a commitment to ensuring the ability to collect, treat and commit to a reclaimed wastewater spray irrigation benefits farmers and keeps treated waste from entering creeks and lakes,” said city administrator Patti Ferguson. Added Coun. Ryan Nitchie: “I think we should honour the foresight of councils before us who saw a vision to build this plan. We had to incur some debt to replace pipelines, but we’ve nearly paid this off.” Council directed staff to provide a report containing a timeline and budget implications to implement its chosen option. “Our preferred step is to have staff come up with an analysis, see how much it will cost and what grants are available,” said Pieper. “We don’t have to do it this year or next year. We want to get plans ready for it, get a detailed cost analysis and then go from there.”

Throne speech generates response RICHARD ROLKE
“The government has more work to do.”
Morning Star Staff
The provincial government’s vision is generating considerable debate. The Legislature opened Tuesday with the speech from the throne and the Liberal government’s plans for the new session. “I’m really happy to see a continued focus on job creation and getting people to work,” said Greg Kyllo, Shuswap MLA. “People gave us a mandate and the throne speech meets the commitment made in the election campaign.” Among the highlights of the throne speech are an overall framework for liquefied natural gas, a 10-year plan to prioritize transportation investments and a new strategy for the technology sector.
— Steve Gunner
There is also a call for a 10-year initiative for youth and older workers wanting to upgrade their skills. Kyllo is convinced trades training is critical to the future of families and the economy. “When you look at the income potential in the trades, it outpaces some of the academic careers,” he said. H o w e v e r , Tom Birch, B.C. Conservative president, questions the merits of the throne speech. “A balanced budget is a good thing but we are facing massive B.C. Hydro hikes because
for the last decade this government has lessened its deficit by forcing debt on our Crown corporations,” he said. “This latest rate hike is a direct result of budgetary mismanagement and still we have not seen a balanced budget in a long time. Instead, we have overstated future LNG revenues to lull us into a false sense of security.” Another aspect of the throne speech is a plan for personalized education for students and pursuing a 10-year contract with teachers. This comes at the same time that the government and the B.C.
Teachers Federation are in a dispute over class sizes. “It’s not exactly the most amiable of times but I hope we can get through that. At the end of the day, this is about children and families,” said Eric Foster, VernonMonashee MLA, who backs the tone of the throne speech. “We stuck exactly to what we said we’d do in the election. It’s all about vision, it’s all about the economy.” Steve Gunner, with the Shuswap NDP, says there are no specifics in the throne speech about B.C.’s reliance on LNG or creating valueadded jobs. “The government has more work to do. They need to look at the details,” he said. Gunner questions the proposed transportation plan and whether it will meet
the needs of the North Okanagan-Shuswap. “There are no specifics as to how to achieve it. Why not have a plan tying the Kelowna airport and the university with light rail to the rest of the Okanagan?”

Mayes defends budget RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Infrastructure needs in Okanagan-Shuswap communities are not being ignored, according to the local MP. Tuesday’s federal budget included money for bridges in Montreal, Que. and Windsor, Ont., as well as $391.5 million for highways and bridges in national parks, but there was no specific mention of money for infrastructure upgrades for municipalities in general. “We have that covered in the gas tax fund,” said MP Colin Mayes. Mayes insists the budget will benefit the region as sections of the Trans-Canada Highway through national parks will be improved, and he is confident that federal support can be found for other portions of the route. “If the province comes forward to say they want to do the Trans-Canada, that money can come from the Building Canada fund.” Finance Minister Jim Flaherty’s budget includes no major tax cuts and spending is decreasing for the third year in a row. The document forecasts a $2.9 billion deficit this year and a $6.4 billion surplus in 2015/16. Among the highlights is proposed legislation to cap wholesale wireless roaming costs in Canada. “Canada has one of the highest costs for cell phones,” said Mayes. “The government is trying to find ways to bring us into line with the rest of the world. The costs for communications are disadvantaging businesses that need to use cell phones and the Internet.”
“We have (infrastructure) covered.” — Colin Mayes
Not surprisingly, the federal budget is getting negative reviews from opposition parties. “It’s another lost opportunity to do something positive for Canadians,” said Nick Hodge, Okanagan-Shuswap NDP president. “Again we hear about reductions, restraint, fragile recovery, and cuts to programs. I am looking forward to the day when we have a government interested in making life better for Canadians. For all of the talk about restraint, tax revenues are projected to increase by $12.2 billion, 5.5 per cent over last year.” Liberals are describing the budget as disappointing. “Much of what is in the budget is unlikely to do anything for the average Canadian and even less for the residents of the North Okanagan and Shuswap,” said Dustin Griffin, Okanagan-Shuswap Liberal president. “The big ticket items entirely miss the needs of our riding such as $500 million over two years for automotive research and development and infrastructure spending in the national parks of $391.5 million over five years and money for specific bridges in Windsor and Montreal.”

Culture Committee to provide amenities at a village-owned lot on Cedar Ridge Street. “Currently, it’s just an open grassy area,” said director Randal Ostafichuk. “Some simple picnic tables or benches would be glorious. But some playground equipment could be an ideal goal.” However, before anything is done, the committee will canvass residents about the proposal. “If they have any concerns or other improvements they would like to see, we can look at what the residents are fine with,” said Ostafichuk, adding that any enhancements will depend on the budget.

Olympic viewing party for Hill
• 127 POINT INSPECTION • IMMACULATELY DETAILED • COMPETITIVELY PRICED • FRIENDLY INFORMED STAFF
ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Every time Kevin Hill competes in snowboard cross, his mom, Arleigh, dances around the computer, finding it hard to contain her excitement as she watches online. When Kevin competed at the X-Games, it was his sister, Shanda, who was dancing around the computer as she watched her brother in action. The Hills need a bigger venue (and no computers) to watch their son as he competes Sunday at the Sochi Olympics. Monashee’s Bar and Grill owner Steve Pauls will open his establishment to the Hills, (which includes dad, Don), family, friends and anybody 19 and over Sunday from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. to watch Vernon’s Hill represent Canada in snowboard cross live from Sochi. Hill’s first heat starts at 11 p.m. “There’s not much you can do when you’re watching him,” laughed Shanda about the family’s excitement and dances around computers. “We really want to thank Steve for helping us out. Everybody that wants to come out on a Sunday night and cheer on a local athlete is welcome.” The third Hill child, brother Matt, will be watching from his home in Fort McMurray, Alta. Hill is making his Olympic debut, narrowly missing a spot on the team for the 2010 Games in Vancouver/Whistler. Asked if the family is disappointed not to be in

Russia with her brother, Shanda said, “not at all.” “There would be more stress for Kevin,” she said. “He’d be wondering where we were at, worried that mom and dad might get lost. He just likes to focus on his event.” While Sunday’s viewing party is for folks 19 and over, the family plans to host a party for all ages upon Kevin’s return to Vernon.

An alternative RBC Cup ticket package has been announced by the host committee. Starting Saturday, fans will be able to purchase a seven-game Team Pack that includes the four Viper round robin games, the two semifinal games, and the championship final. The cost will be $129 plus taxes and fees. “Many local fans want to take in the entire tournament, but others are interested only in the Viper games and the sudden-death playoff games,” said tournament chairperson Mike Lane “All four Viper round robin games will be at 7 p.m., so this plan suits those who are at work in the afternoon. “Prime seats are still available but they’re in limited supply, so we suggest that fans move quickly. While $129 plus fees is a very good deal for those desirable games, for just another $70 you can get another six games.” If purchasers have tickets that they will not be able to use, they can hand them in to the ticket office and those tickets will be distributed to children or families who can not afford to attend the RBC Cup.

Vernon’s financial efforts add up Morning Star Staff
The City of Vernon is earning top marks for financial management. Kevin Bertles, the director of financial services, has received an award for financial reporting achievement from the Government Finance Officers Association of the U.S. and Canada. Bertles was given the honour as the individual designated as primarily responsible for preparing the city’s award-winning 2012 financial report. “This is part of our focused effort to deliver high-quality reporting documents for all users of the reports,” said Bertles. “The goal is to deliver fiscally transparent documents and convey financial information that supports the solid fiscal framework upon which our budget is based.” The City of Vernon has also been acknowledged by WorkSafeBC with a certificate of recognition. This will result in the city receiving up to $50,000 in annual incentive payments for three years to support the further improvement of worker health and safety practices.

Pink T-shirts fight bullying Okanagan residents are urged to join a pink movement against bullying. The Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs marks the sixth annual Pink Shirt Day Feb. 26. “Pink Shirt Day 2014 will once again be an opportunity to increase public awareness in the Okanagan and beyond, demonstrating that we are all a part of the solution and won’t tolerate bullying any longer,” said Richelle Lawrence, events co-ordinator. Pink Shirt Day originates in Nova Scotia where two young men stood up to bullying in their high school. A new student was being bullied and was harassed even more when he showed up at school wearing a pink shirt. In support, these two young men went to a discount store and purchased 50 pink T-shirts. They enlisted fellow male students to wear the pink shirts to support the new student who was being bullied. “We want to personally invite you and all the Okanagan communities – businesses, schools, organizations and individuals alike, to take part in this crucial day by encouraging everyone to wear pink and to treat each other with the respect, caring and understanding we all deserve,” said Lawrence. “This year we are standing up to say that we all belong and with the positive support of our families and community, we can all feel safe and secure.” Last year, more than 4,500 people purchased pink shirts from the Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs in support of the Anti-Bullying Movement.

Vipers hold off Strathcona Pull off upset to open 43rd annual Coca-Cola Pee Wee hockey tourney
Garvie powers Vernon Morning Star Staff
KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Extreme underdogs after being bounced from the Okanagan Mainline playoffs by Kamloops and losing two regulars to injuries, the Watkin Motors Vipers are hardly holding a pity party. Instead, the gritty Snakes pulled off a major upset Thursday morning, shading the Strathcona Warriors of Edmonton 3-2 to open the 43rd annual Coca-Cola Invitational Pee Wee Hockey Tournament at Civic Arena. With Ben King and Cory Lazar on injured reserve, the Vipers summoned Nic Teale from the Nixon Wenger Pee Wee Tier 2s and Jacob Boden from Atom Development. Somebody forgot to tell Teale he was supposed to be a stand-in and not a standout. Teale hustled down the right side wall and beat Warriors’ tender Ethan Kruger with a wrister for the winner with 7:46 remaining. Lucas Zubrod and Tanner Brown earned assists. The Warriors, who lead their league back home with just two losses, pressed hard for the equalizer but the Vipers played relentless defence in front of a superb Kobe Grant. Forward Coletyn Boyarski was the Vipers’ poster boy for shot blocking. His body will today resemble a Disneyland map after getting in front of three blasts late in the game. He went down to stop a sure goal with his shinpad and then seconds later, took a slapper off the foot. Shortly after, Boyarski faced a rocket by big Jake Lee from the left point, taking it in the arm. “Those were all for the team,” smiled Boyarski, an 11-year-old Hillview Elementary student. “We were passing the puck well in the offensive zone, but there’s always room for improvement. We wanna get a medal and have a good ending to our season.” Strathcona, who won the Jasper tournament earlier this season, went in front when Cole Dubinsky converted from Sean Ogundiya, at 5:12 of the opening period. Rowan Miller equalized four minutes into the second period, from Lachlan O’Keefe, and Vernon went ahead seven minutes later when Boyarski clicked, from Zubrod and Brown. Strathcona levelled the score with 4:38 left in the period with captain Carter Chorney’s goal, assisted by Ethan Sochatsky. “We just weren’t skating or moving our feet like we usually do,” said Chorney. “The ice is a big different, it’s sticky. They were getting their shots and going wide on our d-men. We can play better.” Chorney, who turned 13 last week, captained his zone to a gold medal in the recent Alberta Winter

Vernon Watkin Motors Vipers’ goalie Kobe Grant faces down Cole Dubinsky of the Strathcona Warriors in the opening game of the 43rd annual Coca-Cola Pee Wee Invitational Hockey Tournament Thursday morning. Games in Canmore/Banff. He was joined in the Games by teammates Bruce MacGregor and Jaxsen Wyatt. All three, along with Lee, attend the Vimy Ridge Hockey Academy in Edmonton. Vernon captain Eric Noren, a 12-year-old Beairsto student, praised Teale and Boden for sparking the Viper attack. “We had some APs and I thought they showed good energy and everybody else followed,” said Noren. “I had a good meal last night and got lots of rest so I was ready for this game. We were good with our 1-1-2 forecheck where the first guy goes in hard and the second guy goes to the wing. “We were getting into the shooting lanes and it’s all about sacrifice for the team. Our goals coming in were to compete and play hard with a desire to win. This is our last tournament and our last weekend and winning a medal is the game-plan.” In Game 2, Josh Zary pocketed a deuce as the Nanaimo Clippers grounded the Warman Wildcats of Saskatchewan 7-4. Brandon Rogers, Trey Boylan, Luke Schlitz, Josh Parkin and Aaron Marsh also scored for the Clippers, who got two helpers from Liam Moody. Austin Lamotte produced 2+2 for the Wildcats,
singles going to Kyrell Sopotyk and Luke Reid. Brendan Lee scored with 12 seconds to play in overtime as Seattle Junior A1 edged the Prince George Cougars 3-2 Thursday afternoon. Dylan Herzog assisted on the winner and supplied the other two Seattle snipes. Jacob Gendron of the Cougars forced the extra session with 2.4 seconds remaining, from Evan Crobar and James Lalikeas. Matthew Marotta also scored for Prince George, who trailed 2-0 after one period. Minor official Cal Ford was awarded Thursday night the Rienie Holland Memorial Award for outstanding longtime service to the tournament. Edmonton Knights of Columbus Lancers battled Calgary Blackfoot Chiefs, Vernon went up against Warman in the feature game and Nanaimo tangled with Strathcona in later Thursday games. Edmonton faces Seattle at 8 a.m. today, while Calgary plays Prince George at 10:15 a.m., Warman meets Strathcona at 12:30 p.m., Vernon goes up against Nanaimo at 3 p.m., Calgary takes on Seattle at 5:30 and Prince George squares off against Edmonton in the 8:00 late nighter.

John Garvie flushed 35 points as the VSS Panthers grounded the Okanagan Mission Huskies 83-57 in North Zone senior AAA boys basketball Tuesday night at the Panther Pit. The Cats improved to 4-1 as they erased an early 20-15 Huskie lead and led 38-34 at the break. Chris Inscho drained 14 points for the Panthers, while Shelby Hartwig and Mitchell Pepper each rung up 11. In senior AA girls exhibition action Wednesday night, the Fulton Maroons brushed back the Charles Bloom Timberwolves 62-52. Brittany Skrenek bottled up 32 points for the Maroons, while Lee Richardson sank 10 and AJ Jacura netted eight. “Brittany Skrenek had a great game and scored our highest point total of the year,” said Fulton coach Mike Scheller. “She attacked the basket and went a great 13-for-16 from the foul line. She was a force rebounding as well. AJ Jacura is doing a great job at point guard and is seeing the floor very well. Erin Sakamoto was a buzzsaw on defence, She secures a lot of 50-50 loose balls for us. Versatile Shelby Hughes is a big asset.” Fulton opens the North Zone playoffs tonight at 5:45 against Pleasant Valley.

Connie Kapak of Vernon leads the pack at the Canadian Long Track Speed Skating Championships in Quebec.
Kapak bags double bronze Morning Star Staff
Vernon speed skater Connie Kapak produced two medals at the Canadian Long Track Championships in Quebec City last weekend. The event was held at an outdoor oval so skaters faced major adjustments regarding strong winds and freezing temperatures. Kapak, 15, was part of the 12-member Team B.C., aged 11 to 15. Kapak was the only skater from the southern part of B.C., with others hailing from northern
regions which allow for access to long track training facilities. She placed fifth overall, out of 16 skaters in her age group, earning bronze medals in the 2,000metre (2K) pursuit and the 3,000 (3K) timed event. Kapak’s previous best result at this event was fourth overall, last year, in Winnipeg. This is the first time she has received multiple medals at long track nationals. Team B.C. is coached by Jason Hartleb, head coach of the Nelson speed skating club.

Colton Sparrow of the Vipers just misses the short side as he tries to beat Smoke Eater goalie Dustin Nikkel in B.C. Hockey League play Wednesday night in Trail.
Snakes torch Smoke Eaters Black Press Sports
It may never happen again, but it’s a moment Jason Williamson and the Vernon Vipers will certainly cherish...for 24 hours or so. The Vipers rung up three goals in the opening minute in a 7-3 stuffing of the Trail Smoke Eaters before 780 B.C. Hockey League fans Wednesday night at Cominco Arena. No word on whether it was a record, but the Vipers counted three snipes in 36 seconds to chase rookie Kai MacDonald, 17, a Coquitlam product making his BCHL debut after being summoned from the Junior B Grand Forks Border Bruins. “I have never seen a start like that,” said Vernon head coach Jason Williamson. “We just bombarded that young goalie. The first goal was off a rebound and we had four guys standing in front of him. Every line we put out, scored. All three lines scored and our fourth line had a shot on goal, all in the first minute. We came at them in waves.” Defenceman Jared Wilson opened the goal spree 20 seconds in, with TJ Dumonceaux and Brett Mulcahy drawing assists. Wilson netted his eighth of the season eight minutes into the second period, making it 4-1 Snakes. Vernon moved to 26-16-4-6, good for third spot in the Interior Conference. They are five points up on the Merritt Centennials and six in front of the Salmon Arm SilverBacks in the playoff chase. “With the Interior division being so tight we have to take care of our business, and it was a good rebound game I thought,” said Williamson. “Obviously we started real well, and just kind of

rode it from there, but all in all I was pretty happy with our game.” Dexter Dancs, with his 23rd and 24th goals of the year, Colton Sparrow, with his 10th, captain Ryan Renz, with his fourth, and Dallas Calvin, with his third, bar-down, completed the Vipers’ attack in front of Austin Smith. Calvin, a 6-foot-4, 205-pounder out of Trail, left the Vipers for personal reasons after getting 2-6-8 in 10 games. He leads the KIJHL Beaver Valley Nite Hawks with 39 goals and 77 points. “The guys know it wasn’t a case of him quitting; there were other circumstances,” said Williamson. “They made Dallas feel welcome. They know he’s as good an AP as there is out there. He was pretty dominant. He should have had three points because he assisted Spares’ (Sparrow) goal.” Calvin played the right wing with a variety of centres after 44-pointman Demico Hannoun left the game early with back spasms. Hannoun should be ready tonight when the Vipers visit the firstplace Penticton Vees. Sparrow moved to Hannoun’s spot with Dancs and Michael McNicholas, while Dumonceaux, Mulcahy and Liam Coughlin took turns double shifting up the middle. Colby Livingstone, a 20-goal man with the Creston Valley Thunder Cats, scored his third goal of the year for the Smokies, who also got goals from Bryan Basilico (13th) and Joel Webb (4th). Former North Okanagan Knights’ all-star Dustin Nikkel replaced McDonald 58 seconds in and was stellar, finishing with 40 saves. Smith made
23 stops and is now 15-12-3. Assistant coach Craig Clair was unimpressed with the effort shown by the nine-win Smokies, who also dressed 6-foot-5 d-man Archie McKinnon of the Nite Hawks. “We have a few APs but that’s not an excuse, it’s the guys in our room that need to motivate themselves to show up to the rink,” said Clair. “You find out in this league in a hurry, that one minute can put you behind, and will finish the game if you’re not willing to show up and pay the price, and we got that lesson tonight.” The Vees are one point ahead of the West Kelowna Warriors, who visit the Vipers Saturday. Said Penticton winger Steen Cooper, on the Vipers: “They should be coming out with some fire. They are a team that is really skilled up front. Pretty big on the back end. I don’t think we should expect the same outcome (6-1 Vees’ win Jan. 24 at Kal Tire Place).” SNAKE BITES: Sparrow, Dumonceaux and Brendan Persley each pocketed two assists...F Logan Mick was in sick bay...Williamson expects F Mason Blacklock back next week. “He’s an elite player in this league and anytime you can add one of those to your lineup. it’s huge, so hopefully we get him back a few games before playoffs so he’s geared up and ready to go.”...West Kelowna grounded the Cents 7-2 Tuesday night. The Warriors are led by Texas forwards Jason Cotton (22G, 54 points) and Carl Hesler (17G, 50 points), Seb Lloyd of Prince George (16 G, 50 points) and Detroit Red Wing draft David Pope, of Edmonton (19G, 36 points).

An intrepid group of dedicated Silver Star Freestyle Ski Club athletes were at Tabor Mountain in Prince George last weekend to compete in a test event for next year’s Canada Winter Games. Braving sub -30 degree temperatures, the athletes competed in slopestyle, moguls and big air. Patrick (the Mountain) Dew started off the weekend with a silver in the slopestyle event in the men’s 15-16 age bracket. Joining him on the podium with the bronze was teammate Zach (Zee) Fenn. Also cracking the top-10 was Patrick (Patty) Marsh finishing sixth. In the men’s 13-14 bracket, Stirling Peters highlighted his run with a flat spin 540 to take home silver. Narrowly missing the podium was Declan Stevenson in fourth and filling in the top-10 were Hayden Person, eighth, and Max Fenn, ninth. Mogul master Person followed up recent strong showings from Apex and Castle Mountain with a fourth in the men’s 13-14 bracket. Joining Person with his first top-10 of the season was Josiah Gaskell in ninth with a run highlighted with a high-scoring back tuck. In the 15-16 group, Dew proved he is a well rounded contender with a fifth. Marsh, normally found laying down smooth lines in the terrain park, also showed he has skills in the moguls, placing ninth. In Sunday’s big air, Dew threw down a cork 900 that landed him on top of the podium. In the 13-14 group, Peters was fifth, Stevenson sixth, and Josiah Gaskell ninth. Skiing up an age bracket, Silver Star’s lone female contender, 12-year-old Elena Gaskell, had another breakthrough weekend. Fighting slow snow conditions, Gaskell used her rail skills and clean spin tricks to secure second spot overall in slopestyle. In Sunday’s big air, Gaskell stepped up her game landing a 900 degree spin to earn the highest score of the day in the female category.

H&L Glass finish 4th Morning Star Staff
The H&L Glass ‘C’ Vipers brought their ‘A’ game against the Kerry Park Islanders in Monday’s bronze medal match, falling 3-2 in a shootout, in the 50th annual Coquitlam Pup Hockey Tournament. Vernon outshot Mill Bay’s sole development team 28-12. Up against Vernon’s resolute checking, the Islanders managed only one shot in the first, but they made it count. Seconds later, Nick Noren and Cash Anderson cycled the puck to Emma Elders in the high slot. Her initial shot blocked, Elders whirled a backhander past the goalie’s right pad to square the affair. Midway through the second, Kerry Park capitalized on a two-man advantage. Vernon pressed urgently for the equalizer, and finally broke through with five minutes to go in the third. Elders freed the puck for Anderson, who juked his way through the defence and beat the goalie with an electrifying deke to the backhand. Eight times the H&L Glass crew killed off penalties, including one in the final two minutes of the third and two more in overtime. Chris Bond, Adam Bourgeois, Maddex Minard, Liam Remple and Quinn Soon did masterful jobs shutting down the Islanders’ power play. Coming in for the second half, Teja Sheldrake shut out Kerry Park,
coming up with a heart-stopping glove save with 30 seconds left in OT to keep his team’s hopes alive. Following the Vipers’ dominant performance, the Islanders stole bronze with a third-round shootout goal. H&L Glass qualified for the medal round with a 5-3 victory over the New Westminster Royals Saturday and then dropped their next two games to Semiahmoo Ravens of White Rock and Kerry Park. Game MVPs were Remple and Colby Restiaux. In Midget Super League action, the Vernon Authentic Trophy & Plaque Autobots sealed a top-half playoff berth by shading Lumby 7-5 and brushing off Salmon Arm Lakeside Printing Sting 6-5. Kristian Currie and Brock Wagner each recorded two goals against the Stars Sunday night at Civic. Lee Brodoway went coast to coast for the beauty winner, while Isaiah Wenger added insurance. Lucas Mitchell pocketed two helpers in support of Jared Larsen as the Autobots improved to 8-6-3. Kyle Weston (2), Wyatt Warnes, Logan Meier and Connor Fair replied for second-place Lumby (12-5). Currie buried a wrister from the mid-slot for the winner, with 2:18 remaining, Saturday night at Civic. Wenger was marvellous with 3+3, while Mitchell counted 2+2. Currie also collected two assists in front of Rowan Wood.

Sharks slither to 17-0 Morning Star Staff
The Corbett Office Plus Sharks are one win away from a perfect North Okanagan Bantam Super Hockey League season. Hedley Larsen’s Sharks went to 17-0 Sunday afternoon by ambushing the Interior Savings Giants 15-6 at Priest Valley Arena. Captain Nick Mitchell supplied five snipes, while Brennan Schwark added 2+3 and Sean Howard and Jake Pelletier each earned 2+1. Tyson Sampert, Riley Bos, Reid Lawrence and Kevin Sullivan counted singles in support of Tyler Riva and Rhys Larsen. Brendan Horsfield (2), Jaden Steinke, Keefer Kaempf, Kayden Parton and Sean Reid replied for the 8-9 Giants. The Corbett boys rallied to bounce the Winfield Bruins 8-3 Saturday night at PV with Schwark pocketing 3+3 and Bos bagging 2+1. Branden Lehoux produced 1+2, while Howard, Jonas Ramsey and Callum Leong had singles and Mitchell two helpers. The Lakeside Printing Blackhawks went 2-1-1 at the Kamloops Atom Blast Tournament, opening with a 4-3 win over the Chilliwack Penguins on goals from Ronan Bedard (2), game MVP Seth Maglio and Alan Lewis. Vernon tied the Kamloops Oilers 3-3 with birthday boy Bedard scoring twice and Hunter Whiting getting a single. MVP was Andrew Kositsin. The Blackhawks then stopped the Kamloops Ice Hawks 5-3 with goals coming from Kositsin, Bedard, Tyler Kruysifix, MVP Rylan Petty and Maglio. The Lakeside crew finished play Sunday by falling 6-4 to the
Kamloops Rockets. Alan Lewis (2), Kruysifix and Petty handled the offence in front of Jakob Aeichele. MVP went to Arianna Kositsin. In Pee Wee Super League play, the North Okanagan Black Knights toppled the Lumby Stars 5-3 Saturday afternoon. The top two teams went back and forth through a scoreless first period before Lumby’s Josh Litven scored 45 seconds into the second, on a beauty pass by linemate Drew Mackenzie. There were glorious chances going both ways before Stars’ goaltender Michael Preston was sent into the post, hitting his head before being on the bottom of a pile at 11:00 of the second, and had to be taken to Armstrong hospital. Litven stepped up to change into net detective gear and was outstanding. The Knights equalized two minutes after play resumed, but the Stars’ Tage Kineshanko answered back. The Knights (12-3-1) capitalized on the shaken Stars (12-2-2) and rung up three goals before Tanner Franje Gilbert responded for the Stars. The third-place Stevenson Mechanical Thunderbirds made the best of a trifecta weekend winning two out three. The T-Birds bounced the Butcher Boy Raptors 9-5 behind a Landen Harison hat trick and deuces from Brady Beacom and Jadon Foster. Six T-Birds earned snipes in an 8-1 Saturday ambushing of the Bannister GM Heat. Ryan Vandersande and Beacom each had a pair, while singles were turned in by Brayden Beese, his first league goal of the year, Sam White, Jadon Foster and Nick Tilby, his first goal of
the year, plus an assist. “Nick was one happy little player and all his teammates gave a high-five,” said coach Grampa Joe O’Hearn. Chapperon Chillihitzia set Jaxon Collard up for a sweet Bannister goal. Heat goalie Aiden Spraggs was busier than a Mexican jumping bean on a hot rock. The T-Birds were without five regulars as they bowed 6-4 to the North Okanagan #2 Knights Sunday night at Kal Tire Place. Logan Shillington scored twice for the Knights (8-7-2), while Samuel White, Vandesande, Harison and Beacom countered for the T-Birds. Harison added two helpers. The Billy D’s Family Restaurant Xplosion tied Salmon Arm Salmar Classics 4-4 and lost 4-2 to Askew’s Foods of Salmon Arm in other Pee Wee play. The Xplosion (5-6-5) were leading 1-0 after the first period Sunday at Civic on a blistering shot by Quin Williamson. Noah Clarke, set up by Nick Hartwig, made it 2-0 in the second. The Classics (4-9-5) equalized early in the third and it was 2-2 until the teams swapped three goals in 30 seconds with six minutes left. Salmon Arm counted a pair and Griffin Fletcher, assisted by Keenon Jeberg, tied it 3-3. The Classics went ahead, and with the Xplosion’s top-five playoff hopes on the line, goalie Eric Foufoulas made some timely saves and Williamson scored, unassisted, to level the score with 1:59 left. Williamson, unassisted, with a heavy shot, late in the first period, and Aaron Jodoin, assisted by Zack Laranjo, midway through the third, collected Xplosion snipes Saturday at the Shaw Centre.

Drive to Save Lives
Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder WITH TWO CHANCES, IS ONE PREFERABLE? George Ade, a columnist and playwright who died in 1944, said, “If it were not for the presents, an elopement would be preferable.” That is a distinctly materialistic attitude. In bridge, though, you will get presents, especially from defenders. And there is an elopement play -- it is featured in this deal. First, though, look at the North hand. South opens two spades, a weak two-bid showing a respectable sixcard suit and some 5-10 high-card points. What should North respond? Second, how should South play in four spades after West leads the diamond queen?
In the bidding, there is an instinct to head for no-trump in the face of a misfit. But how will three no-trump ever make? Even if East ducks the first round of spades, North has only seven tricks: one spade, one heart, three diamonds (benefiting from the 3-3 break) and two clubs. Instead, North should raise to four spades. At first glance, it looks as though declarer will lose two spades, one diamond and one club. But perhaps he can take 10 tricks. To be honest, working out what to do in this deal requires some guesswork. However, with this layout, South can score his three low trumps with an elopement. He wins the first trick on the board and plays a trump
to his king. When that wins, he continues with the spade queen. Suppose East takes his ace and returns the spade 10. South wins, plays a heart to dummy’s ace, ruffs a heart in his hand, plays a diamond to the ace, ruffs another heart, takes dummy’s top clubs, and ruffs the last heart to make his contract.

Survey says landfill satisfactory Gala Glamour Dale Danallanko, operations manager. Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan residents have had their say on landfills. Between Oct. 18 and Nov. 3, the Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) conducted a customer satisfaction survey for the Greater Vernon, Armstrong-Spallumcheen, Lumby, Kingfisher and Cherryville landfills. “The results indicate that residents are generally satisfied with the facilities and the services provided,” said
“A major area of concern for Greater Vernon recycling and disposal facility customers was the left-turn exit on to Highway 97 heading northbound to Vernon..” Other issues covered in the survey included hours of operations, customer safety and recycling options. Vernon resident Karen Ostafew won an iPad mini for participating in the survey.

Profs offer sustainable course Morning Star Staff
Two Okanagan College professors have developed a groundbreaking new course in applied sustainability and protecting the local environment. Business professor Arnica Rowan and political science professor Rosalind Warner, along with Okanagan College education technology specialist, Ross McKerlich, created a course that differs from traditional online learning on several levels. First off, it’s not for credit, just for fun. It’s also free and open to anyone regardless of whether they are an Okanagan College student. And, unlike Ross McKerlich similar open online courses, it’s locally focused. “We wanted a deep learning experience that was centred on the Okanagan but open to anyone in the world who wanted to learn how to apply sustainability concepts in their everyday lives,” said Warner. The online course runs over a six-week period starting Monday. The material covers what’s important to people right now — such as food delivery systems and GMOs, how the environment impacts health and wellness, conservation and ways to live more sustainably, and local consequences of political policies — and offers something new for all level of learners from novices to experts. Another innovative feature is that it uses game theory, which means students complete tasks to earn virtual badges. At each bronze, silver and gold level they can earn three types of badges. “The badges enable people to apply what they’ve learned to their daily lives and be rewarded for their efforts,” said Warner. “The added benefit is that the tasks partici-

pants complete create interaction between like minded people.” These badge-earning assignments are actionoriented rather than academic and include tasks such as buying locally grown organic produce and posting pictures to the course’s online discussion forum, writing a letter to your local MP about a climate change policy, performing a waste audit at your home or workplace, and supporting a habitat restoration project in your area. The idea for the course came from the subject matter expertise of the co-creators and the passion they all share for learner-centred education. The course starts Monday. To register, visit www.okanagan.bc.ca/opencourse. Registration is now open and students can register any time during the course’s six-week duration.

study involving an investigational medication. Adults diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and receiving SSRI treatment with unsatisfactory response could meet criteria for the new study with Okanagan Clinical Trials. “OCD is a serious condition that causes significant distress for those it affects,� said Dr. Paul Latimer, psychiatrist and principal investigator with Okanagan Clinical Trials. “Treatment focuses on eliminating anxiety-causing obsessions and compulsive behaviour so that daily activities can be carried out without interruption.� OCD is a serious mental illness affecting roughly two per cent of the population. It is characterized by obsessive thoughts that cause anxiety and repetitive compulsive behaviours such as excessive washing or checking that temporarily relieve anxiety. A vicious circle results which is distressing to the individual and can be very time consuming. To participate in the new study currently underway at Okanagan Clinical Trials, volunteers should be between the ages of 19 and 65, diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder and being treated with an SSRI medication for at least two months with insufficient results. This is an international study to gather information from 99 patients. Okanagan Clinical Trials was selected to participate because of its proven track record in conducting clinical trials since 1992. Effects will be measured for 12 weeks. Participation in the study will not affect regular or extended medical coverage and participants may be compensated for their time and travel. As always, volunteers are free to leave the study at any time. Okanagan Clinical Trials can be reached at 250862-8141.

Musician finds he can’t escape home Del Barber should take a few Prairie ex-pats back to the heartland when he performs in Vernon Monday
Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
When one thinks of the aesthetic of Canada’s prairie provinces, rolling fields of yellow wheat and barley and a monotonous flatness come to mind - at least it does for some of those who have never called the Prairies home. But to Winnipeg born and raised musician Del Barber, that mid-western topography provides more than endless sky, it’s a place that he’s explored physically and through song and serves as a narrative for his fourth and latest album, aptly titled Prairieology. He’s also happy that the landscape, particularly in Manitoba, doesn’t have the same tramped upon familiarity as say B.C. “Manitoba has mountains,” he exclaims. “We have the escarpment and Riding and Duck Mountains.... There is so much water and pieces of the Shield, the short and tall grasses. Like the rest of the Prairies, the landscape is changing.” About to perform the next audience onstage concert at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Monday, Barber evokes these images through his songwriting. In fact, the music off Prairieology should help any homesick Prairie ex-pat leave the Okanagan for a little while, if not physically. That was Barber’s goal in making Prairieology (released on label True North), which was born out of a love for his home, its people and their stories. A departure from his 2011, Love Songs for the Last Twenty, which was nominated for a Juno for Roots and Traditional Album of the Year, and won two Western Canadian Music awards for Best Independent Album of the Year and Best Roots Solo Recording of the Year, Prairieology is told in a more traditional country vein. “Songwriting was a way for me to get around the Prairie aesthetic. I wanted to use straight forward accessible language that hinges on a good story” said Barber. “I think there is some parable-like quality to the songs that exist on a primary narrative level and though the songs sound like country, hopefully after that first listen, you see more things with more listens.” The album is also a coming home for Barber, who like his other youthful compatri-

maker, teacher’s assistant, driver, roofer, and fisherman. He even went on a spiritual journey for a while, studying philosophy at North Park University, a Christian liberal arts institution in Chicago, where he also endeavoured in songwriting. “I was not satisfied with easy answers, I look for good questions,” he said. “My parents were not religious, but some of my friends were involved in spiritual life and they did good work. It made me interested in religion.
“I experimented with that and played a lot of churches. I love the music, the older traditional hymns. I think it’s better when tradition permeates your life rather than being history-less.” When making Prairieology, Barber didn’t want to escape his own history, or be an unfaithful husband to his home as he calls it, so he set out to make the album as authentic as possible. He recorded the album using all Prairiebased musicians, with his best friend from childhood (JP Laurendeau) as engineer, using site specific locales, including a 150-foot grain silo to capture the reverb. The rhythm section was taped live in a downtown Winnipeg recording studio located in an old bank next to the Winnipeg Commodity Exchange, where grain is traded and exported. “I had the opportunity to record in Nashville, but I said no. I wanted the album to be Canadian and I thought sincerity and honesty was the best way to approach the album,” said Barber. Even the album’s cover, showing Barber in a Van Gogh-ish light, with wheat fields and mountains in the background, was painted by Alberta artist Justina Smith. “Some people say I look unhappy on the cover, but I am really actually happy,” he said. “Justina is a fan of the music so it made the most sense to use her and she understood the songs.” Opening for Barber in Vernon are fellow Prairie folk, Oh My Darling, whose roots are mixed with bluegrass, Appalachian old-time southern twang, and Franco-folk. All four of the female quartet’s albums have been honoured with nominations for Best Roots Album in the Western Canadian Music Awards. The group, featuring Allison de Groot (banjo/vocals), Rosalyn Dennett (fiddle/vocals), Vanessa Kuzina (vocals/guitar) and Marie-Josée Dandeneau (upright bass/ vocals) has toured throughout Europe and North America and has headlined Canadian tours. They have also topped the national campus roots charts and have received regular play on CBC Radio, along with being featured on CBC Radio 2’s Canada Live concert series. Monday’s concert with Barber and Oh My Darling follows last’s months appearance by Royal Wood as part of the Vernon Performing Arts Centre’s on-stage concerts, a cabaret-style show where the audience is up on stage with the artists. Tickets are $25 and include a complimentary signature beverage provided by Okanagan Spirits Craft Distillery. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the concert starts at 7:30 p.m. Limited seating is available. No minors. Tickets are at the Ticket Seller box office. Call 549-SHOW (7469) or visit www.ticketseller.ca.

over to all manner of cushiony soundwaves (Divebomber), to synthesizers and soft wah pedal guitar work (Recluse). The pure-toned classic pop voice that is Finn’s vocal trademark gets a tenor treatment on several tracks, giving the music a spacey focus. But Finn’s always made a lasting marriage of smart songwriting and endearing moods and he expands that with rocking gems that flow freely (Pony Ride), guided by melody. The album’s title captures the spirit of Finn’s latest, as Finn and Fridmann capture sounds and ideas out of the air and set them down into melody and easy grooving songs.

Writers stir up a story at Cracked Pot Morning Star Staff
A group of local writers is inviting the public to relax with a cuppa while they are serenaded with a story or poem at an upcoming event in downtown Vernon. The free readings by local authors and poets takes place at the Cracked Pot Coffee Emporium (across from
the Towne Cinema) Saturday Feb. 22 from 1 to 3 p.m. “Take a break, kick back and enjoy this new and wonderful Saturday afternoon interlude,” said Patricia A. Donahue, one of the readers participating in the event. Readers include: Pat Black, a columnist with The Morning Star, who
writes on current events and issues pertaining to seniors. A constant learner, she is also a budding novelist. Shawn L. Bird is a colourful author of young adult fiction as well as a poet and teacher from the Shuswap. This summer she embarks on a new creative project bringing west to east; a week of writing classes mixed with maritime culture in northern New Brunswick. Howard Brown is a popular open mic poet who interweaves his academic/philosophy background with his work in coal mines, oil fields, the navy, and trades/industrial electrician, to deliver poetry of a unique mix. Donahue is an award-winning author and teacher who draws on her academic background to pen the Mighty Orion Trilogy. An original Maritimer, she joins Bird in offering the Writers Cultural Immersion Week in northern New Brunswick in August.

The jokes don’t come thick and fast and I liked that, because if they did, it could have spoiled it. I found myself chuckling along all the way through it. Even the music score was catchy. You wanted to whistle along to it. TAYLOR: It did seem to have that light treatment that you and I both wanted to enjoy, but because the film also tries to pay respects to the seriousness of the subject matter, it became emotionally confusing.

earing the end of the Second World War, with the retreating Nazis under orders to destroy everything as the German Reich fell, seven men, art historians, curators and museum directors, became the Taylor and Howe unlikely soldiers responsible for rescuing as much of the stolen art as possible. They were known as “The Monuments Men.” We say, “It’s a love letter to the Second World War ensemble cast caper movie.” TAYLOR: I enjoyed this, but it kind of felt like I’d seen it already, perhaps several times. HOWE: Most movies starring George Clooney and Matt Damon are enjoyable, and The Monuments Men is no different. I know what you mean about feeling like you’ve seen it several times. You have in mind things like the Oceans movies, The Dirty Dozen and The Great Escape. TAYLOR: I do. Trumpet music with snare drums, an A-team montage feel to it, light-hearted moments between seemingly ordinary heroes becoming comrades in arms. Then you have the typical Second World War fare of, for instance, a barrel full of gold fillings to help remind us that the Nazis were awful. In the former way, it was kind of fun, but in the

Carvers create joy for children Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff
A tiny panda shares space with a pinkspotted brown bear, as a spirit bear snuggles next to a grizzly. They are part of a collection of 24 bears which have been hand-carved by members of the North Okanagan Wood Carvers Society to be donated to children in need in Haiti. The project got its start when club director Geoff Warrington learned that many children in Haiti do not have toys to call their own. The club connected with Westsyde Fellowship Church in Kamloops and its youth pastor, Jordy Orsetti, who is travelling with a team of youth and adults to Haiti this summer. “Jordy’s mom is a friend of my wife and he was looking at some of my carvings and asked if I could come up with an idea for something he could take with him to Haiti,” said Warrington. “Recreation isn’t even part of their vocabulary and so I thought these rolling bears would make a great toy for a child, plus they are small enough to easily transport.” Club members embraced the idea with enthusiasm and quickly got to work carving the rolling bears, so-called because they can be rolled easily along a playing surface, from asphalt, to grass, to wood floor. “We left them up to individual club members as to how they wanted to do them,” said club president Elizabeth Doucette. “These were new for me, and we had fun with them.” Orsetti and his team of 14 young people and six chaperones will travel to Portau-Prince, Haiti in July, where they will make the five-hour trip southwest of the capital, to Les Cayes. The young people range in age from 13 to 19 years of age and will be in Haiti for 10 days. “A lot of what we do with the kids there is breaking down barriers,” said Orsetti, “where we see the differences between us, but also the similarities.” The team will be hosted by former Kamloops residents Rod and Debbie Wray, who now live in Les Cayes and are working as missionaries with Harvest International. On its Web site, the organization explains, “it is a facilitator, assisting

Christians who are called of God to meet the physical needs of poor people in this world, and empowering them as they earn the right to minister to their spiritual needs as well.” In Les Cayes, Orsetti and his team will spend several days working with children from the community of Renault, taking part in recreation, helping to build a gym and attending Sunday school. “We’ll also perform several days of wedding ceremonies for groups of couples who wish to be married,” he said. “This will be followed by a lot of festivities and feasts honouring the newlyweds.” “We appreciate all of your efforts on
behalf of the kids in Haiti,” said Orsetti. “We’ve had so much support from everyone.” nnn On Tuesday, VCAC executive director Lynne Hossay was asked to pick the winners of the best carved rolling bears.

Symposium and workshop dedicated to memory of Mandela Respect Lives Here will be presented by Shuswap Settlement Services Society SALMON ARM — Shuswap Settlement Services Society, along with their community partners, has undertaken to host a community symposium dedicated to enhancing the community’s capacity to embrace diversity. Traditionally, the model for achieving social change has been a retributive approach that seeks to establish blame and to lobby others with the authority to impose change. The Mandela Symposium, “Respect Lives Here,” will introduce participants to a restorative approach which promotes taking accountability over placing blame, making a personal commitment over finding excuses,
D
and building community over seeding discontent. Shuswap Settlement Services has been quietly working, in conjunction with other community partners in the Plan B:E Society, exploring civil forms of community development that are more inclusive and respectful. The work of Peter Block’s, in particular his book Community: The Structure of Belonging reflects a powerful approach to shifting how we engage in community. Block extols the power that conversations in small gatherings between individuals of diverse interests but committed to a common goal can have in bringing about significant change. The symposium includes a public presentation by Charles Holmes, a co-founder and part-time associate with the Learning Strategies Group in the Faculty of Business at Simon Fraser University. He helped the establishment of the Dalai Lama Center for Peace and Education. He works closely with Peter Block in creating conversations
amongst many diverse groups. The presentation is open to the public and will include a virtual appearance by Block. Holmes’ number-one interest in helping groups is to see the potential of what they might be able to create together; to acknowledge, but not be constrained by the past, and to explore opportunities for working together toward a common future. The symposium is dedicated to the memory of Nelson Mandela, who championed the power of the individual to bring about change, the need to reach out to those who are socially marginalized, and to acknowledge and reconcile past injustices without abandoning a better future. Respect Lives Here takes place March 5 in the auditorium of First United Church in Salmon Arm. The public presentation starts at 7:30 p.m. The following day, Holmes will facilitate a workshop, coaching participants in the art of facilitating small group gatherings in a man-
No one trusts this guy’s wife
ear Annie: A few years ago, my wife went out of town for a conference. A month after she returned, I was on our computer and noticed that she hadn’t logged out of her email. My curiosity got the best of me, and I saw that she had traded emails with an old boyfriend. I then discovered that the two of them had met while she was at the conference. One of her last emails to him said, “I still have feelings for you.” On the advice of a marriage counselor, I was direct with Kathy Mitchell & MarcySugar her about it. She claimed nothing happened and that they only met for dinner and said she would never contact him again. She also was angry that I had invaded her privacy. Last year, my wife and I hit a rough patch. I got suspicious of her behavior and checked her cellphone. I saw that she had exchanged multiple texts with this same guy. Again, she claims nothing happened, the texts were innocent and I had no right to snoop. My wife knows the password to my email, and I never lock my cellphone. All of my communication is an open book. Meanwhile, she now locks her phone and has multiple email accounts. I understand
annie's mailbox
the need for a little privacy, but I don’t believe you should be hiding things in a committed relationship. My wife is angry that I don’t trust her, and I’m having trouble dealing with this. Any advice? — Broken Up Dear Broken: We don’t trust your wife, either. She promised not to contact this man again and then did so and hid it from you. She locks her phone and has multiple email accounts to which you apparently do not have the passwords. Worse, to deflect blame, she accuses you of snooping. There may not have been a sexual affair, but it definitely sounds like an emotional attachment. Please go back to your counselor and ask your wife to come with you. The two of you need a refresher course on how to make your marriage work and regain trust. Dear Annie: I own a small casual restaurant in a small town. People order at the counter and then take their food to a table to eat. In the past couple of years, I’ve noticed more people bringing in food from other establishments and eating at our place. I don’t understand why people think it’s OK to take advantage of an eating establishment like this. Don’t they realize that the owner is paying for the incidental items they use, such as napkins? Don’t they see that they are taking up space that could be used by people who are actually helping to pay the bills incurred by the
restaurant? Am I looking at the situation in the wrong way? — No Free Lunch Dear No: We suspect most people have no clue that this is an inconvenience to you. There are some establishments that allow people to sit for extended lengths of time without ordering, but we know of none that encourage you to bring your own food. Most restaurants require a minimum order to justify the use of the space. We suggest you implement this policy with a sign at each table and at the cash register. You may have to approach flouters with a bill, but word will get around. Dear Annie: This is for “Tired,” who does all the cooking for the holiday meals and then gets stuck with the cleanup, too. I have a good friend in the same situation. She is on good terms with all of her family members, but they never helped or knew what to do. So she wrote up duties, put them on little pieces of paper and placed the pieces into a nice dish. When each guest arrived, they picked out a paper and read their duty for that meal. They loved it, and she was not so worn out. — DLT Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Doctrine. Doctrine really means teaching. The word can be used in a much wider sense than is currently recognized. The doctrines that a man holds are really the principles that guide his conduct. If his doctrines are well-balanced with a just perception as to which are the most important, his conduct will probably be well-balanced too. If he holds some false doctrines or if his strongest convictions are more persistent thoughts centred around something of little value then the effect will be seen in his conduct.

Looks Last year, Nissan introduced the bigger mid-sized Pathfinder SUV and this smaller Rogue shares many styling cues from its bigger brother. This, in my opinion, is a good idea. It has a sense of purpose, sophistication and commonality that helps define Nissan’s brand. Nissan wants to portray “everyday premium” with this new Rogue, including such nice touches as LED daytime running lights, wheel arch extensions, integrated mirror turn
7-passenger SUV. Granted, the third row is tight but perfect for those occasional times when extra family members are in town. In addition, this package includes navigation, a 7-inch touch screen monitor, power lift gate, blind-spot detection system, and lane departure warning system. These really are premium features found only in luxury SUVs just a few short years ago. Unfortunately, the top SL trim is only available in a two-row 5-seat configuration because

QUESTION OF THE WEEK!
it was felt the price would be too high for compact SUV buyers. Drive As hard as it might be to believe, this new, larger and slightly heavier (49kg) Rogue is actually more fuel-efficient than the last model. They were able to improve the economy by 18 per cent through the introduction of a new continuously variable transmission (CVT), aerodynamic tricks, and letting the carried-over engine breathe a bit better. Still rated at 170hp, the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine does a good job in city driving, thanks to the gearing of the new CVT but can seam a bit underpowered for higher, passing manouevre on the highway. Overall, the person filling the new Rogue up with fuel will welcome this balance of efficiency and everyday drivability. As part of the winter driving experience, I drove on an ice course in Macaglisse, Que., to highlight the vehicle’s stability system and the Active Trace Control feature. On the first run, through the twisty, sheer ice roads the entire system was shut off. As I crested a hill, then made a hard right turn, the Rogue slid all

the way out to the edges of the corner, almost hitting the opposing snow bank. On the second run, with the advanced systems on, the same road was almost uneventful. The stability and traction control kept the wheels from spinning but the Trace Control System provides just a slight amount of brake force to the inside wheels to help the Rogue navigate the sheet ice with confidence. Verdict The objective with this new Rogue was to be noticed and provide a level of refinement and creature comforts that the competition isn’t providing. The pricing is fantastic, especially the middle SV models. The larger interior dimensions will always be welcome, as buyers like to get more for their money, but it is still small and efficient enough for city buyers.

Safety Tip: Distracted driving is the third leading cause of car crash fatalities in our province, which is why police are out in full force this month as part of a province-wide distracted driving campaign. According to one recent study, texting while driving makes you 23 times more likely to be in a crash.

Adventures in trusting your GPS The digital road sign above warned: “Changing Roads Ahead. Do not rely solely on GPS.” I felt like it was speaking directly to me as I had suffered anxiety ever since Driveway editor Keith Morgan climbed into the Jeep Cherokee and we left downtown Detroit, heading north to Toronto. North, ahem, yes. The tunnel to Canada was a stone’s throw away from our launch point. I was thinking it would route me the same way I got down to Motown, via Windsor and through the tunnel. Why the GPS didn’t? – I’m not sure. Clearly it knew something we didn’t. Needless to say, the mechanical woman’s voice echoing through the premium speakers certainly did give us a scenic tour of the area. And by scenic I mean, she guided us through some rather dodgy areas, characterized by poorly maintained roads, broken down buildings and dejected looking people. After the excitement of the 2014 North American International Auto Show, I was looking forward to the

long and painfully boring drive back. (That’s before Keith hitched a ride, honest.) My wish was not yet coming true. Finally, we were on some sort of highway. But no signs to a border popped up for miles and miles. We even pulled over a couple of times in the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited to check our smartphones to see if we were heading in the right direction. We were, but I guess I was After the just looking for a sign. A excitement of the sign that said “Canada” 2014 North American on it. International Auto But no, we got this Show, I was looking instead: “State Prison Nearby. Do NOT Pick Up forward to the long Hitchhikers.” and painfully boring Gulp. drive back . . . my Keith and I looked over at wish was not yet each other and laughed coming true. nervously. Oh gosh, what have we Alexandra Straub gotten ourselves into? – Regardless, we were in it together so it was bound to be eventful. I forgot to mention, my fuel was getting low, too, and I had a flight to catch out of Pearson. No need to panic, I think. When you’re in these kinds of situations, you say things that you normally wouldn’t say. “I will be so happy when we are back in Ontario,” is a phrase not often uttered by a B.C. resident. But it fell from my lips. Desperate times call for desperate measures, right? The one thing that remained steadfast and calm throughout the craziness was the Jeep Cherokee. The leather-trimmed seats were plush and comfortable to sit in for hours on end. When I started veering off the straight and narrow – aka out of my lane – the lane departure warning would gently lead me back into place. And since it was frigid outside – Ontario and Michigan in January is anything but tropical – features like a remote starter, heated seats, a heated steering wheel and dual climate zone controls keep occupants toasty warm. Not to mention there was a generous amount of power being delivered from its 3.2L, Pentastar V6 engine, which is rated at 271 horsepower and 239 lb-ft of torque. It’s then linked to a 9-speed automatic transmission. And with 4x4 capabilities, I was ready to brave the winter conditions, on bare roads or not. Luckily, it was a beautiful day, with few clouds in the sky and clear roads. Things were looking good. Then it happened. A sign. A sign to Canada nonetheless. Looks like we’d been routed through Sarnia. I was doing a little happy dance on the inside. Did I doubt the GPS’s ability to lead? I sure did. Then again, it’s not out of my character to question authority. As we handed the CBSA our passports, all I could think about was finding a fuel station before we got stranded. And yes, I was very happy to be in Ontario. But I’d be happier when I knew I was on a plane to Vancouver. Yet, I was thoroughly enjoying my time in the Cherokee, quirky styling and anxiety aside. It had an ability to somewhat calm my woes due to its temperate nature. The quiet cabin allowed for wonderful conversations, whether it was with myself, with the GPS or with Keith. In addition, I managed to learn a lot from road signs. I will not wholeheartedly rely on the GPS and will not pick up hitchhikers in Michigan.

Nissan Juke 2011 to 2013 If you’re looking for something a little out of the ordinary, then check out a Nissan Juke. It was described by Nissan as a sport cross-utility vehicle, when introduced for the 2011 model year. The Juke is not big or pricey; it has (let’s say) distinctive styling lines and it packs a hot little engine under hood that also provides excellent fuel economy. It is short in length yet tall in stature and has a wide stance with short front/rear body overhangs. The round headlights were rally car-inspired and are topped by distinctive “crocodile eye” light combinations. From a side view, the Juke has a two-door coupe look with “hidden” rear door handles. Even a base SV trim level of Juke comes surprisingly well equipped with alloy wheels, keyless entry, air conditioning, 4-wheel disc brakes, stability control, steering wheel audio controls, heated side mirrors, a security system, Bluetooth and audio connectivity. The sweetest part of the package is the turbocharged (with intercooler) 1.6-litre direct injection, 16-valve engine. Power peeks at an impressively high 188 horsepower and 177 lb-ft

pricier premium fuel. An optional all-wheel-drive (AWD) system comes with a torque-vectoring feature on the rear axle. Under normal driving conditions, it directs all drive power to the front wheels for best fuel economy. It can (automatically) vary drive up to an equal split between the front and rear axles. An I-Con display with a drive mode selector, which offers different throttle/transmission/steering response settings, comes with the higher SL trim level. This trim also includes fog lights, a power moonroof, push-button start and climate control air conditioning. A 6-speed manual transmission was standard with the front-drive models and the automatic is a CVT type. Despite Juke’s compact exterior dimensions, there’s seating space (with a bit of a squeeze) for five adults on the inside. The rear seat is a handy fold-down 60/40-split bench that folds flat to provide an extended cargo floor. Juke’s centre console is a motorcycle-inspired design that has a high-gloss (colour-matched) painted finish. The design and slope of the roof at the back, however, does limit rear vision from a driver perspective. Juke carried-over into the 2012 model year virtually unchanged and had only minor alterations for 2013. The Navigation package includes a rear view monitor and a stereo upgrade (that was standard on Juke SL). The NHTSA overall crash test safety rating (front/side/rollover) for Juke was 4 out of 5 stars, with a 3 out of 5 stars in its frontal impact test. It received a coveted “recommended” buy rating from Consumer Reports and an overall “average” rating for reliability. Daring to be different, the Nissan Juke is a fun vehicle to drive and an interesting vehicle option for those bored with conformist compact sedans. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Safety Recalls: 2011 to 2013 Nissan Juke: 2011: A weld at the boost sensor bracket may fail, allowing the bracket to separate from the air inlet tube. If this occurred, the engine would enter fail-safe driving mode with reduced motive power. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the air inlet tube assembly. 2011/2012: The fuel pressure sensor connected to the engine fuel delivery rail may not have been sufficiently tightened during vehicle assembly and could leak. Dealers will inspect for fuel leakage from the pressure sensor, tightened to specifications or repair as necessary. 2012: The rear seat latch strikers (which secure the seat backrest in the upright position) may be faulty and could deform during a frontal vehicle crash, increasing the risk of injury to rear seat occupants. Dealers will replace defective rear seat latch strikers.

Joy passed away peacefully in Vernon on Thursday, February 6th, 2014 at the age of 95. She was predeceased by her husband, Claude, in Armstrong in March, 1992. Left to mourn is son Jack (Donna) of Calgary, AB and their children, Shaun, Michelle (Allan) and their respective families – Sarah, Meghan, Jesse, Jarrid and Becky. In Vernon she leaves her daughter, Marge, and grandson, Darcy and Cassandra (Redding), Brydon and Owen. Joy was the second eldest of a family of fifteen. Also mourning are surviving siblings along with their families, namely; Maurice (Irene), Ollie (Gerry), Inez, Jack (Bonnie). Mom and Dad left Manitoba in 1971 to move west to live near Calgary where their children and grandchildren had settled. In 1980 they moved to Armstrong, two years after their daughter and grandson moved to Vernon and where four of her brothers had relocated several years prior. Mom will be remembered for being busy with the community, homemaking, bowling, shuffleboard, square dancing and playing cards, although she hated to lose! Back on the farm in southern Manitoba she was very instrumental in forming a ladies group - the ‘Palmerston Pals’ for those farm ladies in the area, not too far from our home town of Crandall, MB. Mom worked outside of the home as a cashier in a grocery store, at a bakery, a restaurant and also as staff at the Father Lacombe Nursing Home in Midnapore, AB.

Mom will be remembered for being busy with the community, homemaking, bowling, shuŋeboard, square dancing and playing cards, although she hated to lose! Back on the farm in southern Manitoba she was very instrumental in forming a ladies group - the ‘Palmerston Pals’ for those farm ladies in the area, not too far from our home town of Crandall, MB. Mom worked outside of the home as a cashier in a grocery store, at a bakery, a restaurant and also as staī at the Father Lacombe Nursing Home in Midnapore, AB. Mom had a zest for life and loved to travel, even aŌer Dad had passed. She was a busy lady who loved her family, adored her grandchildren and great grandchildren and had a great love for pets, birds and nature. During the past few years, Mom resided at Heron Grove and we’d like to thank the staī there for the special care and aƩenƟon they gave Mom in her Įnal years. A Remembrance CelebraƟon will be held at a later date. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to www.MyAlternaƟves.ca

In Memoriam
Donna Langelid Oct 25 1946 - Feb 14 2013
One year ago we lost our angel Mother, Grandma, Great Grandma you are truly missed everyday A face that is always on my mind, A smile I have seen a million times, Two eyes that would light up the sky at night, One last battle you could not fight, The day was long, then night then morn. I knew that soon you would be gone, I clasped your hand so warm in mine, Soon we would be out of time, To stay with us you fought so hard, A million pieces went my heart, Now a photo I look at to see your smile, I keep your number on my speed dial, A video I watch to hear your voice, This I do.... I have no choice., But great memories I will always keep with me, Your love in my heart for eternity, I never got to say goodbye, To understand why, I can but try, Waiting in heaven from this moment on, ‘Till god asks you to bring me home..
