Truck sinks Morning Star Staff
A water main break near city hall led to a City of Vernon dump truck falling into a sinkhole. A water main broke at about 1:30 a.m. Thursday on 31st Street, between 33rd and 34th avenues, and crews turned off the water as soon as they were notified. A detour was put in place and no vehicles, except for those with the city, were permitted through. “When crews arrived on site in the morning, one of the city trucks fell through the asphalt that may have been weakened by the water main break,” Tanya Laing Gahr, city communications officer. “There were no prior outward signs of the cavity beneath the asphalt.” Crews are expected to complete repairs on the break today, and the road will be closed until repairs are done.

Premier visits Vernon to celebrate seniors JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
No one’s getting any younger, herself included, Premier Christy Clark admitted as she celebrated National Seniors Day in Vernon Wednesday. In fact: “By 2030, one in four British Columbians will be a senior, including me,” said Clark as she spoke to the Canadian Association of Retired Persons’ Okanagan chapter at Sparkling Hill Resort. “As I age, I think differently about being a senior, differently than when I was young,” said Clark, who wants to be as active as her grandmother was when she died. The world has changed as we get older and governments, said Clark, need to be aware of these changes and be forward thinking. “Our building codes, the way we plan cities and traffic.” But she also reminded seniors that they play a key role in the future. Seniors should not expect society to look after them unless they are looking after themselves and the ones they love, their neighbours and friends, Clark
urged those attending the meeting. And the role seniors play in society will continue through future generations. “Hearing your voice is vital,” said Clark. “When we are gone and it’s in their hands to look after this place, heaven forbid they don’t have the lessons we’ve passed on.” Clark also spoke about how the Okanagan Valley is a hub for people across the country, including many retirees. As a result, the local economy based primarily on tourism, retirement and agriculture, but that has created challenges for families who are unable to live and work here. “We need to help diversity this economy,” said Clark. “I would argue that’s through the technology sector. This could become a hub for technology and innovation. That could attract jobs.” The provincial government announced in July a commitment to invest up to $6 million toward the development of the new state-of-the-art Okanagan Centre for Innovation.

Texting while driving poses a major risk roger knox
T
Morning Star Staff
he task was simple: I was to walk through pylons and obstacles in a small course while texting a message to a co-worker on my cell phone. “You missed the stop sign,” said Betty Selin, co-host of Sun FM’s Sunrise Show as I negotiated my way through the course behind the Vernon fire hall. “What stop sign?” I asked as I looked up. Oh. That one right in front of me as I started the course. It took me a few minutes but I made my way through the maze of pylons while texting co-worker Jennifer Smith. Apparently I missed the picture of the child at the crosswalk and the picture of the dog as well. Those two things were pointed out to me at the end of the course. The text to Jennifer was supposed to read: “Hi Jennifer. I just went through a stop sign on my test.” Instead, this is what Jennifer received: “Hi Lennifer. I just ewwntthtru a stop dodgy on my tray.” Alright. So I was distracted. Guilty. Vernon Citizens Patrol volunteers and the Safe Communities Unit helped support ICBC’s Distracted Driving Campaign by setting up a walking obstacle course Monday to show how being distracted impacts the ability to perform other tasks. Using traffic cones, barricade tape and other roadway hazards, participants had to navigate the course while walking and texting, trying to avoid any crashes along the way. Citizens Patrol volunteer Mary-Anne Morgan considers herself a good texter. She couldn’t even send her message to her brother-in-law. “It was a huge challenge,” said Morgan. “I couldn’t even start texting. I didn’t get past ‘Jim.’ It was really tough.” Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP constables Steven Schenkeveld and Gary McLaughlin, both members of the North Okanagan Traffic Services squad who are used to dealing with distracted drivers, also went through the course. They, too, did not go through unscathed. Both missed or bumped into signs. And that’s all it takes behind the wheel of a vehicle: one second looking at your phone to lose sight of the road. “We see it so much but the public

Vernon Citizens Patrol volunteer Mary-Anne Morgan weaves her way through an obstacle course while unsuccessfully trying to send a text message on her phone Monday during an ICBC/rCMP distracted driving educational campaign. doesn’t understand or can’t comprehend that if you take your eyes off the road for that one second your vehicle is in motion, it travels a certain distance and your car is travelling that distance without any control whatsoever,” said McLaughlin. “The car doesn’t have eyes. You need to have the eyes.” Recent statistics show that distracted driving has nearly surpassed impaired driving for causing fatalities. In B.C. in 2013, there were 88 fatalities involving distracted driving, including 32 in the Southern Interior. It’s not one particular age group, or one particular gender. It’s all walks of life, said McLaughlin, when it comes to motorists using a cell phone behind the wheel.
“People can’t put their phones down,” he said. “They’re addicted to their phones, absolutely. Cell phones have become such a normal part of our lives. But it’s so easy to just pull your car over before talking or texting.” The two officers both have jaw-dropping stories when it comes to pulling over distracted drivers. Just this past weekend, McLaughlin recounted how he was doing a campaign with fellow officers on 27th Street, 500 metres up from Highway 6. There were three fully marked police vehicles and the officers were each wearing their yellow traffic jackets when a woman in her mid-20s passed them texting on her phone. She never saw the officers. Period.
“I also pulled over this one guy who had a “No Cell Phones” sticker on his car,” chuckled McLaughlin. “The guy said to me, ‘I guess I’m the hypocrite today.’” Schenkeveld was watching traffic on 27th Street when he saw a woman using her cell phone as a GPS instrument, looking for an address, in one hand. In her other hand? A fast-food salad. “She was basically driving the vehicle with her knees,” said Schenkeveld. The Vernon Citizens Patrol looks to educate drivers through its cell watch program. “Our volunteers will be on the streets watching for distracted driving,” said Regan Borisenko of Vernon Citizens Patrol and the RCMP Safe Communities Unit. “They take down the sex of the driver, licence plate number and make and colour of the vehicle, and forward the information to the RCMP. “They in turn forward a warning letter to the registered owner of the vehicle, telling them they’ve been observed using an electronic device.” The local RCMP have averaged 15 such letters per month over the past four months. The fine for talking on your cell phone while driving is $167. The fine is the same for texting and driving, but the motorist is also given three demerit points. Motorists are four times more likely to crash if distracted on their phone. ICBC and police are asking drivers to leave their phones alone when they’re on the road.

Meat process draws protest RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A North Okanagan politician questions if any small-scale farmers will remain once provincial meat rules are resolved. Rick Fairbairn, Regional District of North Okanagan vice-chairperson, met with Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick recently and was told no changes to meat processing regulations are expected for possibly two years. “I am disappointed with the province’s response but I will continue to advocate for an earlier conclusion to these Rick Fairbairn regulations,” said Fairbairn. The Regional District of North Okanagan wants an Interior Health Authority representative to attend the agricultural advisory committee and explain why the issue of processing permits has stalled. In February 2013, the provincial government announced that up to five class E slaughtering licences would be allowed in the North Okanagan as part of a two-year pilot program. RDNO has been fighting the meat processing rules since they were first introduced in 2007 because of the negative impact on farmers. “He (Letnick) indicated two licenses have been issued and rather than wait for all five to be issued, the ministry will immediately evaluate how the procedure will go forward,” said Fairbairn of whether the rules will be eased or limits on processing will continue. “The study will take about a year or two to complete.” Fairbairn says more farmers could go out of business if they can’t slaughter meat themselves or access a small-scale processor and that negatively impacts the economy and communities. “I am noticing a lack of livestock and more farms up for sale. Fencing is deteriorating and there are weed-infested hay fields.”

Dirty Foggy Windows
Many homes built between the late 70s and the early 90s experience sealed unit failure. Unit failure leads to condensation forming between the two layers of glass causing them to steam and fog up.
Is There a Solution?
Yes, the only real solution is to replace the sealed unit. You only need to replace the glass not the frame which means it can be done easily with a minimum amount of disruption.

Mindnich is looking for a third term on council. “I enjoy volunteering for my community,” said the office manager at the Royal Canadian Legion. Among council’s accomplishments, according to Mindnich, are a liquid waste management plan and a water plan. “We’re still putting reserves away because there’s a lot of work to still do. Infrastructure is a huge issue,” she said. Fisher is leaving council after one term. “I just want more family time,” she said. “It was an amazing three years. There was a lot of learning and working with the community was a great experience. I really enjoyed getting to know my community at that level.”

Also pursuing a second term is Ostafichuk, who is manager of Tutor Tech Computers. “I love being involved in the community and I love helping guide the community,” he said. “It’s fantastic how council is working together to get things accomplished.” A goal for Ostafichuk is beautifying Lumby and promoting a healthy lifestyle among residents. “There’s smoking cessation or anti-idling,” he said.

On Tuesday, at about 10:16 a.m., a member of the Lake Country RCMP was conducting stationary radar in a school zone on Oyama Road. The officer observed a westbound Chevrolet Silverado travelling at a high rate of speed and clocked it at 90 kiloimetres an hour, well above the posted 30-kilometre-an-hour zone. “School was in recess and a large group of children were playing out on the field near the roadway,” said RCMP spokesperson Const. Kris Clark.

Gourley runs for council A Vernon businessman says he was prompted to run for city council after speaking to residents. Art Gourley, a 71-year-old self-employed painter, says he decided to run as a councillor Nov. 15 because people have concerns about a range of issues. “I have some good ideas that might make the city more livable,” he said. Art Gourley Among the concepts is reducing the bylaw department’s focus on issuing parking tickets. “In Kelowna, handicapped parking is free and that helps business,” he said. “We need to get people downtown.” Gourley would also like to see 30th Avenue

He also says that previous plans to turn 32nd and 27th streets into one-way roads should be dusted off as a way of improving traffic flow. Another concern for Gourley is the paint that apparently gets splashed on to sidewalks when curbs are being painted. “Why pay someone for making a mess?” he said, adding that the city budget could also be reduced if cemetery maintenance was turned over to funeral services. Gourley also wants to see expanded emphasis on economic development. “I’m a straight shooter and a working guy,” he said. “I want to help the young guys out of working. How do they survive?” The other declared candidates are Juliette Cunningham, Kari Gares, Jack Gilroy, Shawn Lee, Catherine Lord, Dalvir Nahal, Mark Olsen, Bob Spiers and Brian Quiring.

Seatbelt infractions concern RCMP ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Motorists seem to be getting the message about not texting and driving. However, despite years of advertising, campaigns and enforcement, it appears motorists still haven’t warmed up to the idea of wearing a seatbelt. A total of 58 motorists were ticketed for not wearing a seatbelt Saturday as four RCMP officers from North Okanagan Traffic Services and the Integrated Road Safety Unit combined to do an eight-hour enforcement campaign throughout the City of Vernon. Between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., the officers conducted various standing and roving cell phone and seatbelt checks.
Officers issued a total of 83 violation tickets, which included the 58 non-seatbelt tickets, and 14 to people caught using their cell phones behind the wheel. “That number is quite high, it’s very surprising,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk in reference to the seatbelt violations. The fine for both using a cell phone while driving and not wearing a seatbelt is $167, meaning local officers issued $12,024 in fines in the eighthour period on those tickets alone. Four motorists were tickets for failing to stop at a stop sign, and officers issued seven other assorted tickets. “The campaigns are going to continue,” said Molendyk.
Police pull motorist over in a school zone Contined from A6 “The driver stopped immediately upon police direction to pull over and was apparently unaware it was a school zone.” The man was issued a violation ticket for excessive speed and a notice of impoundment for seven days. When school is in session, a 30-kilometre-anhour school zone speed limit is in effect from 8 a.m.
to 5 p.m. every school day, unless otherwise posted, according to Clark. Speeding in a school zone carries a fine of $196 to $253 while excessive speeding carries a fine of $368 to $483 plus a mandatory seven-day vehicle impound.

Does CUPE run city hall?
T
he big story at this year’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention was a report commissioned by the B.C. government that reveals municipal pay increases for unionized staff have been running at twice the rate of provincial raises. When I asked Premier Christy Clark about the intent of this report, leaked just before the annual UBCM convention, she was blunt. It’s to get this issue on to the agenda for the November municipal elections, which the province has decreed shall be for four-year terms instead of three. After local elections, discussions with surviving and incoming municipal politicians will resume. Things have been going pretty well for the main municipal union, the Canadian Union Tom Fletcher of Public Employees, for the last couple of decades. As local election turnout has gone from bad to worse, municipal employees themselves have become an increasingly dominant voting bloc. Then there are the labour councils in urban centres, now almost entirely fronts for public sector unions. They quietly survey municipal council candidates to determine their level of affection for ever-growing public payrolls, and dole out campaign funds accordingly. Sometimes they organize full slates, with cuddly names like Protect Coquitlam to appeal to low-information voters. During last week’s convention in Whistler, I caught up to Finance Minister Mike de Jong in a brief break from the dozens of meetings cabinet ministers have with mayors, councillors and regional directors. Is the province going to impose some kind of solution? “There’s not some hidden legislative agenda,” de Jong replied. More data needs to be gathered, and the report shows ongoing problems with management salaries at the
B.C. ViEWS
provincial level as well. Is this the first step to imposing a tightfisted centralized bargaining agency, such as the government set up last year to wrestle the B.C. Teachers’ Federation to the ground? “We haven’t formulated our answer,” de Jong said. “What the data does suggest, however, is that there may well be some merit (to centralized bargaining). One of the recommendations points to a more coordinated approach to some of the negotiations that take place.” Will the new municipal auditor general have a role in this? “The purpose of the auditor was not to become an enforcement mechanism,” de Jong said. “It was to play a traditional audit function on whether taxpayers are getting value for money. To that extent I suppose a municipal auditor might be able to comment on the advantages of coordinating efforts.” NDP leader John Horgan’s attack on the compensation report was as predictable as it was selective. In his speech to delegates, Horgan called it “one-sided, politically motivated, shoddy work” designed to embarrass local politicians on the eve of their elections. Did he question Ernst and Young’s numbers, the pay increases for municipal union staff of 38 per cent between 2001 and 2012, compared to 19 per cent for unionized provincial staff? Did he question their calculation that over that period, inflation totalled 23 per cent? No. The facts being against him, he went with an emotional pitch to distract from them. Recall that during the final days of the teachers’ strike, Horgan suddenly decided that what was really needed was binding arbitration. This was 24 hours after the teachers’ union took that position. So there’s the big question to be considered by voters as local elections draw near. Which candidates are looking out for your interests, and which ones are working on behalf of CUPE? Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca
It is a troubling addiction, causing grief on a regular basis now for enforcement officers. Drugs? No. Alcohol? Nope. Cell phones. Members of the VernonNorth Okanagan RCMP detachment’s North Okanagan Traffic Services and Integrated Road Safety Unit, combined with the Vernon Citizens Patrol, conducted a distracted driving test for North Okanagan media this week. A course was established behind the Vernon fire hall, and participants had to negotiate through the obstacles – which included stop, yield and playground signs, crosswalks cutouts with people on them – while trying to send a text message on their phone. Everybody who took the course failed, including two police officers, both of whom missed or bumped into signs. So if you’re distracted while walking, imagine texting while behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. Your eyes aren’t on the road, they’re on your phone. Police say that fatalities as a result of a person texting on their phone while driving have now surpassed the number of fatals involving impaired driving. The fine for texting while driving is $167 and three demerit points. Though one wonders if a fine that hits harder in the pocketbook would act as more of a deterrent? Cell phones are an everyday part of life, and officers agree they are like an addiction. But they should not be part of everyday life when you’re behind the wheel of a vehicle. There’s no reason, no excuse, no story important enough that a driver can’t pull over to answer a phone or send a text instead of doing so while driving. The answer is really simple: leave the phones alone while driving. We’ll all benefit from it.

cosens bay road Initially, the Cosens Bay cabins were seasonal cottages with water access. Now, on the basis of a questionable legal decision, a road provides land access. Today, the area includes some very large dwellings and more, no doubt, are planned. Why has the Regional District of the North Okanagan allowed this building expansion in an unserviced area? Subdivision services normally precede construction. Here, land owners have built houses and now demand a wider road and other services, which can only be provided by taking land from a fragile and unique public park. The Ministry of Transportation is proposing to accommodate a few land owners at the expense of Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park. This would pave the way for further development and degrada-

Forward, not backwards
he first and last civic election ballot I cast was a vote for Sean Harvey. We had such a huge opportunity to move forward as a community with Mr. Harvey and while I wasn't here to see the changes happen, I could believe my eyes the first time I came back to visit. The 25th Avenue upgrade, the Performing Arts Centre, the multiplex, getting rid of the horrendous odour of the sewage plant and the entire Anderson business district, it was amazing. I thought from then on, if I ever had the opportunity to come back and raise my kids in Vernon, I would in a heartbeat. That opportunity finally came this year. But the Vernon I came back to was far from the Vernon I visited in 2006/7. I understand I may be ignorant of a lot of issues having only been back three months, but what I've seen is Vernon going backwards, not continuing forward. There are so many perplexing decisions that have been made. I'm wondering who is approving them and who is accountable for them? Our city's greatest concern should be the number of vacant retail and indus-

trial spaces in this city. It occurs to me that industry in this city (which has never been great) looks like it's giving up completely. How is it possible to have so much prime retail space vacant? Who decided to close two great locations for tourist booths at each end of town and put them off the highway in a trailer-looking building? What's the deal with Kin Beach? It looks horrible with those concrete barriers. Giving into the band's concerns is one thing but can we not find the money to at
tion. I urge politicians, provincial and regional, not to approve this public loss for private gain. elizabeth Worley stolen jeWelry In reference to the Marshall family letter in your Aug. 13, paper, my mother-in-law was in hospital in Kamloops a few years ago and similarly lost her wedding ring, a watch and a necklace. I was able to negotiate a repayment of $1,700 with Royal Inland Hospital. We also bought a similar ring which was easily accepted by my mother-in-law to show that she was married, although a widow for many years. Feel free to tell the Marshall family who we are, and I would be completely willing to describe our situation at the time and the argument I used to get some payment. dave and linda Mead
no public service In response to the Sharon Ramsdale letter praising the CBC, of course people on the left love the CBC. They don't care if hundreds of millions of unaccounted taxpayer dollars are spent promoting ideologies that they happen to agree with. I wonder how they would feel if the CBC suddenly started to level the playing field and started to embrace things like capitalism, pro-Americanism, pro-life issues, pro-fiscal responsibility, proIsrael, pro-Christian, anti-union and anti-victimology, etc., etc. Suddenly those tax dollars would be scrutinized is my guess. The bottom line is, if a business needs tax dollars to exist, it needs to ensure complete fairness in its coverage. Period Otherwise, get your money from your own supporters like Sun News does.

least cut down the weeds? What about the other lots further down? When are they to be developed into something? Why does a city this size need a second track and field space? What is being done to promote business here? I know Sean Harvey was no angel but his direction made this city 10 times more livable for a young family. It occurs to me that leaders since have done everything they can to turn Vernon back to the way it was in 1994.
I write this to provide a discussion among your friends and family. Is this shrinking economy and vacant buildings really what the residents of Vernon want? We have an upcoming election that quite frankly terrifies me. I know the economics of a city are complex. In leadership, it's obvious tough decisions have to be made and its easy for me, the new/old, resident to question them, but aren't they supposed to be made with common sense in the best interests of the people? Vernon needs a true leader with vision for the future. Vision to grow the city and provide opportunities for my children that I had to leave for. Someone to carry the momentum — not do everything they can to stall it. I've yet to see a candidate that remotely fits this. We are five years past the downturn in the economy and it looks like Vernon is still well in the grips of it. I for one will continue my journey to understand what is going on here in order to help do something about it. I do not want to leave Vernon again. M. Wylie
Don't ask those of us that vehemently disagree with your world view to pay for it. The CBC stopped being a public service a long time ago. It is nothing more than a propaganda machine. anne ellis deer sign A few weeks ago, I wrote to the editor regarding a very sad and disturbing incident involving a deer that was hit on Bella Vista Road July 28. I was very pleased to see a deer crossing sign erected on the section of road where the accident had occurred. I only hope it will cause drivers to slow down and be more cautious. The number of deer on the road has increased greatly in the last year or two, and will only increase with time as we develop more of our rural areas. pauline boone

ment has given a “strong verbal commitment” to pay up to one-third of the cost of Okanagan local governments acquiring the abandoned Kelowna to Coldstream rail line.

the local governments. Gilchrist said an announcement will be made today about whether a deal has been negotiated or if the CTA would be called in. CN is asking $50 million for the rail corridor between Kelowna and Coldstream and the city says in addition to money the local governments would put in, it has a number of potential funding partners including the province. Gray said while it is unlikely the federal government could provide funding because it would be for land acquisition and Ottawa does not fund that, it could help in other ways with grants to develop the desired recreational trail. But while the mayor said the local governments have a price in mind that they would be willing to pay and have shared that with the province, the figure will not be made public until a deal is done. It’s also unlikely public approval to spend the money will be sought unless it involves longterm borrowing. The local government participants want to acquire the rail line to create a recreational corridor through the Central and North Okanagan.
Travel routes may be affected by the CIBC Run for the Cure Sunday. The five-kilometer loop begins at Marshall Field at 10 a.m. and continues to Okanagan Landing Road,

While battling his own cancer, Trevor Stocks wasn’t able to physically run in the CIBC Run for the Cure. But he still came out, proudly donning pink and cheering on his three breast-cancer surviving sisters, as well as both his parents. “He always came and sat through the whole thing and supported us,” said Sue Gilowski, who just fin-
ished her final surgery after her diagnosis in December 2011. This year, Stocks will still be cheering his family on Sunday at Marshall Field, just from a different seat. “Our No. 1 fan, my brother, passed away in June,” said Gilowski, as lung cancer took Stocks, but not after a battle which he conquered years longer than doctors expected. Therefore Gilowski’s team, Run for Mom
(her mom is not well enough to come out this year), will proudly be running for Stocks and carrying a special banner in his memory. Even her one sister, who is miles away, has gathered a group of women to do their own Run for the Cure in Palm Springs. In Vernon, the 23rd annual event in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, has moved down the road to Marshall Field.
The event, which includes a lively warmup, survivors walk and prizes, gets underway at 9:30 a.m. with final registrations and donation drop-offs at 8:30 a.m. As a survivor who has watched both her parents and sisters battle the disease, and now lost her brother to the “nasty C disease,” Gilowski says the key is being active and positive - when you can. “I felt like I needed to be out and needed to be seen by people,” said the mother and grandmother, who would do laps at Kal Tire Place
(then Wesbild Centre), whenever she was feeling well enough after treatments. “I wanted to be active, I couldn’t just sit still.” But she is concerned about the number of women who aren’t doing more to help catch the disease early. “Thirty-three per cent of women do not do self-checkups,” said Gilowski, who urges women of all ages to learn how to and regularly perform such simple procedures.

Lavington hall discussed richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Lavington residents want assurances they can use their community hall. The Lavington Community Association has asked the Regional District of North Okanagan to meet with the Vernon School District over what it believes is reduced access to Lavington Elementary School. “The board will continue discussions with the school district to resolve this shortJoe Rogers term and long-term,” said Doug Dirk, an RDNO director. In 1992, Lavington Elementary was upgraded and the work included a double-sized gymnasium and kitchen for community use. The commu-
nity funded $500,000 towards the project and a use agreement was inked between the regional district and the school district. However, the Lavington Community Association says a recent request for 12 hours of use in the facility was turned down by the school district and only four hours were approved. “Community fitness and winter walking in the gym have been bumped by pickleball,” said Lyn McPherson, LCA director. “We want to retain our say on community use after school hours.” The use agreement ended in 2012 and is now renewed annually. RDNO and the school district are working on a new permanent agreement. “There will be more clear sign-up procedures,” said Joe Rogers, school district superintendent. “The Lavington Community Association will get half of the night time hours. That really is the Lavington community centre.”

Transition encouraged Morning Star Staff
Vernon is launching into transition. Individuals and organizations are coming together Saturday for the public launch of Vernon in Transition to think about the question: “How can we work together to become a more resilient, lower-energy community?” An Open Space session kicks off activities at 2 p.m. at Trinity United Church, 3300 Alexis Park Dr. “This activity is designed to harness the creative power and capacities of large groups of people,” said Phyllis Beardsley, on behalf of Vernon in Transition. During the Open Space session, there will be an artist-led, children and young people’s workshop, which will create musical instruments and costumes from waste items (an activity called upcycling). Following this, there will be a celebration at 6 p.m., with a dinner featuring Vernon’s local harvest. “A variety show displaying the talents of local musicians, dancers and storytellers will conclude the evening. Children and young people are welcome at the entire event,” said Beardsley. Vernon in Transition is the organizing group behind events like Repair Café and Handmade Holiday. “We are part of an informal, global transition network. Our purpose is to encourage and support Greater Vernon becoming a more resilient, lowenergy community with a healthy, vibrant, local culture and economy,” said Beardsley. “If you have an idea for a resilient, low energy Vernon, bring it to the Open Space.” The hope is to draw people together who work on community issues in diverse ways, whether through business, the arts, government or through advocacy groups. “Forming meaningful connections, both to each

Receiver Tyler Liefke remembers what it was like to be the new guy last year, putting in his dues.

Dezura carries Cloverdale cash into Vernon Classic KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Grant Dezura of Maple Ridge juggles a couple of insurance companies, two kids, a wife and an elite curling schedule come winter. And he always finds time to play in the $63,000 Prestige Hotel & Inns Curling Classic at the Vernon Curling Club, run by manager and world-class icemaker Dave Merklinger. “Merk knows how to run a good tournament and it’s fun having the men and women in the same event,” said Dezura, who turns 41 on Oct. 20. Dezura jumpstarted his season by claiming $2,600 in the Cloverdale Cashspiel two weeks ago, stopping Sean Geall in the final. Dezura

GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY... MOVE IN THIS FALL
BCHL extends admin staff BCHL Media
The B.C. Hockey League has awarded commissioner John Grisdale, executive director Trevor Alto and communications director Brent Mutis new three-year contract extensions with the league. Grisdale started with the BCHL in the 2003-04 campaign and this contract will see him through his 15th year as commissioner. Alto was hired in 2012 while Mutis began in 2010. “As we continue to develop our brand and prove ourselves as a worthy development option for players and their families, it’s important we keep our team together at the league office,” said Grisdale. “With the core group intact, we can continue our focus on strengthening each member club financially and strategically position the BCHL to take advantage of the all the opportunities in front of it.” Over the last five seasons under Grisdale, the BCHL has averaged 126 college commitments per season for players which translates into about $2 million in scholarship value to families. The league
has also won four RBC Cup national championships during Grisdale’s tenure as well as the inaugural Crescent Point Energy Western Canada Cup title in 2013. Alto has headed up the league’s discipline and officiating program. Officiating directors Derek Adams and Brad Lazarowich will continue in their roles working with Alto this season. The league’s discipline appeals committee, consisting of Doug Deacon, Don Tonks, Bruce Abbott and Guy Lanki, remains intact as well. Mutis, a former Morning Star reporter, has managed all media relations and league publications since joining the BCHL and has developed a sizable presence in the social media landscape for the league. He will continue his mandate of maximizing team and player exposure to scouts and media. In other league office news, Rob Lambie has joined on as director of hockey operations and Henrietta Woo will continue on in her role as office administrator.

Showtime for Schuster Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Joe Schuster is $10,000 richer for just 90 seconds of work. Of course, there were weeks of filming, cutting and editing involved, but the resulting short film segment earned him both a third-place finish and the Fan Favourite Award in last month’s X Games Real Ski Backcountry contest. The opportunity to enter the X Games contest caught the 25-year-old by surprise, but there was also an element of serendipity in the timing. The park-skierturned-backcountry-daredevil received a call in April asking if he’d be interested in submitting a clip. He was one of seven athletes to receive an invite. “By the time I got the call, a lot of my filming was already done so at that point it was more about getting a couple more filler shots in the spring to wrap the whole thing up,” said Schuster, one of four brothers. “Although 90 seconds doesn’t seem like a very long time, it is very hard and time consuming to come up with that much A-roll footage for a segment like this.” The main stipulation for entries is that they comprise all-original, unseen backcountry footage. Schuster said that wasn’t PHOTO SUBMITTED all that easy for a couple of reasons. Joe Schuster is all smiles as he prepares to tackle some spectacular backcountry terrain.

But on a night when anything seemed possible at Prospera Place, the Rockets rallied for a 7-5 win Wednesday over the visiting Vancouver Giants for their fourth straight victory — and one of the best starts in team history. Nine of the 12 goals were scored on special teams, with each club notching three powerplay markers before 5,021 fans. Captain Madison Bowey scored twice for the Rockets, both shorthanded markers — the last into an empty net — and added three assists. Giants’ captain Dalton Sward also scored shorthanded, as the Giants led 3-0 after 20 minutes against the lethargic-looking Rockets.

SportS BriefS Wurtele third in Ironman Chattanooga
Vernon’s Trevor Wurtele used his second fastest bike time ever to capture third at the inaugural Ironman Chattanooga Tennessee on Sunday. Wurtele, who now lives in Kelowna and trains in the U.S., completed the 116-mile bike in four hours, 37 minutes and 52 seconds, and followed that with a 2:59 marathon. He was ninth out of the water. Matt Hansen of the U.S. used a blazing 2:47 marathon to take the win, while fellow American Daniel Bretscher grabbed second spot. Trevor and wife Heather will now compete in the Ironman World Championships, Oct. 11, in Kona, Hawaii.
Royals brush back Talons
The Vernon Christian School Royals outlasted the Eagle River Talons of Sicamous 3-2 (19-25, 28-26, 19-25, 25-11, 15-11) in exhibition senior girls volleyball play Tuesday night. Rebecca Vanderdeen collected 14 kills, backed by 11 aces from Jasmine Hofsink, for the Royals, who are in the 44-team UBC Okanagan Heat Invitational starting today. The Fulton Maroons defeated George Elliott Coyotes 3-0 (25-15, 25-23, 25-19) in exhibition play Tuesday night in front of a rowdy Fulton crowd. Nazarena Wurz, Megan Rouault and Brittany Skrenek led the Maroons with six kills apiece. Nicole Olson ran the Fulton attack, while Erin Sakamoto recorded seven digs as defensive specialist. “We’ve only had five practices so there is a lot of room for improvement and there is great potential,” said Fulton coach Sharon Shaigec. “Our team serve-receive must improve in order for us to compete with the top teams in the province.” The Maroons take on AAAA Mt. Boucherie Bears of West Kelowna, AAA NorKam Saints of Kamloops and G.W. Graham Grizzlies of Chilliwack in pool play at the UBCO tourney.
Stars fall 10-5 to Kelowna
Tage Kineshanko supplied 2+1 as the Lumby Stars lost 10-5 to the Kelowna Rockets 6-4 in Pee Wee Tier 4 hockey play Saturday at Pat Duke Memorial Arena. Sponsored by Green Velvet Lawn and Tree Care and Kineshanko Logging, the Stars got stellar netminding from Parker Stadnyk in the first 10 minutes with Kelowna pressing. Kelowna led 2-0 after 20 minutes before Conner Seehaver put the Stars on the board on a series of nice passing between Mason Robinson and Kineshanko. The Rockets added another but Noah Clarke responded, assisted by Seehaver and d-man Peter Romailler Jr. before the Rockets pumped in two quick goals before the second period buzzer. Kineshanko netted a backhander, assisted by Seehaver. Kineshanko added another at 11:10 of the third with assists to Linden Catt and Seehaver to make the score 6-4. Kelowna added a pair before Robinson blasted in a point shot.
Poulsen takes BCHL honours
Merritt Centennials’ defenceman Shane Poulsen has been named the BCHL Player of the Week. Poulsen helped the Cents to a pair of wins and was instrumental in the team allowing just two goals. The towering Kamloops native had 1+1 in a 5-2 road win in Salmon Arm. He then set up the winner the next night as part of a three-assist effort in a 5-0 home win over Penticton Vees.

Bridge by Phillip Alder A FIT-SHOWING JUMP IS A TWO-IN-ONE BID Mark Twain wrote, “His money is twice tainted: ‘taint yours and ‘taint mine.” ‘Taint that just the case! It is great to get twice the money for one piece of work. At the bridge table, as we saw yesterday, that is sometimes possible in the bidding. I pointed out that a jump-shift response by a passed hand is fit-showing: length in that suit and partner’s suit. That was in an uncontested auction. When the opponents sail in, I like to use fit-jumps even by an unpassed hand. I jump as high as I am willing to drive the auction. In this deal, after South opens one diamond and West overcalls one heart,
North jumps to two spades, showing a limited hand with five spades and fourplus diamonds. (With a stronger hand, North could jump to three spades.) The auction then proceeds to five diamonds by South. West leads the heart ace and shifts to his trump. East wins and plays a club. How should South continue after guessing well to win with his club ace? Declarer needs three dummy entries: one to take the spade finesse, one to ruff out East’s spade king, and one to reach the established spade winners. Those entries are a heart ruff, the diamond queen and the diamond six -- did you see the necessity for South not to play his
diamond five at trick two? Then you can bring home the contract with four spades, five diamonds, one club and the heart ruff. Note that if North initially responds one spade, East would jump to four hearts and leave both North and South wondering what to do.

helps out campers Morning Star Staff
A chance for a few extra kids to experience life at camp has been made possible thanks to the generosity of the community. The recent Mackenzie Camp raffle raised enough to sponsor almost three campers, while awarding some special prizes. “Connecting children with nature is so important in creating understanding and balance,� said Jazmyn McMyn, MacKenzie Camp’s chairperson. “For some of the children a week at camp is the only connection they have with the outdoors.� Along with creating lasting memories and smiles for three kids, the raffle put a smile on three lucky winners’ faces. Jaime Seward’s framed, limited edition print was won by Trudy McEwan, of Coldstream. Laura Jameson, of Enderby, was the lucky winner of the quilt made by Kathy Oberle. The garden sculpture made by Zera McMyn was won by Jane McGee, of Calgary.

Vernon’s Tom Christensen, chairperson of the Legal Services Society, and Attorney General Suzanne Anton meet with Margaret Payne, new staff legal aid lawyer for family cases at the Victoria courthouse.
Smell ‘n’ tell Legal aid budget rises Tom FleTcher Black Press
The B.C. government has added to its pareddown legal aid budget to finance the hiring of a second staff lawyer to handle urgent family law cases, and to expand legal advice by phone for other family disputes around the province. Attorney General Suzanne Anton announced Tuesday the expansion of a pilot program that started with a staff lawyer in Vancouver dedicated to legal aid clients with family law disputes. The second family court “duty counsel” will be based at the Victoria courthouse. The program is funded with an extra $2 million a year for three years, bringing this year’s Legal Services Society budget to $74.5 million. This allows double the time for eligible clients to receive legal advice by phone. Tom Christensen, Legal Services Society board chairperson and a lawyer at Vernon’s Nixon Wenger, said the phone service will now be able to offer eligible clients up to six hours with the same lawyer, to get advice on issues such as child support and parenting arrangements so they can represent themselves in family court. “There are always going to be cases where the situation is so dire that we need to appoint a lawyer to assist somebody in court,” Christensen said. “And with family services, that’s generally where violence is threatened, or where somebody faces a serious chance of their interaction with their children being cut off, like when one parent’s going to leave the province with them, and the other parent needs to stop that.” Anton said there are three more pilot projects to come. These are an expanded model for legal aid staff lawyers in criminal cases, a parents’ legal centre for child protection cases and a family mediation referral program. The financing move comes as the Trial Lawyers’ Association of B.C. resumes its intermittent strike against legal aid work to protest the lack of funding. Lawyers are refusing legal aid for the first week of each month in a protest that began in July. The association notes that 80 per cent of people in family court are not represented by a lawyer, and that the rate paid to legal aid lawyers hasn’t changed since the B.C. government cut the Legal Service Society budget by about 40 per cent between 2001 and 2005. Anton said the overall speed of the court system is improving, and the newly expanded program is designed to settle more cases out of court.

Artists awaken spirits with imagery Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
Photographer Colleen Fielding has learned to trust her peripheral vision. Out of the corner of her eye, she has been able to capture wildlife species in their natural environment that most people would drive on by, unaware. It happened while she was visiting Mabel Lake Hall, near her hometown of Lumby. “I saw this dark flash of movement, so I pulled up and there was a grey owl eating something on the ground. It flew off, and then when I looked up I saw another owl in a tree, its mate.” Fielding’s photographs can be seen at the Awakening the Spirit art show and sale, currently showing in the Coatcheck Gallery, located in the lower lobby of the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. Supported by the Mental Illness Family Support Centre (MIFSC) and the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), the 11th annual show features 62 works by 25 artists and celebrates the strengths, talents and creativity of people living with mental illness. Encouraged to enter the show by CMHA group facilitator Marie-France Ladouceur and programs director Sue Myhre, Fielding has been using a camera since the age of 12, but stopped for many years before picking it up again. “The camera was there calling my name,” she said, adding she has gone from using a film-loading model to a digital. “I photograph mostly wildlife and birds, but have shot some portraits and weddings.”
Fielding says aiming her lens at wildlife has taught her an important virtue, patience. “I have also learned to stand perfectly still, especially with wildlife as you don’t want to scare them off,” she said. “I was taking photos at the opening reception (for Awakening the Spirit) and someone observed how I was so patient. Taking photos has taught me to not only be patient with wildlife but with people, which is a good thing.” Fielding points to one of her favourite pictures in the show, a photograph of a lone wolf. “I carry my camera everywhere and this photo came as I was coming in from Vernon. It was out playing in the snow in Lavington. I got him just as he was catching a mouse,” she said. Another photo of a male loon came from a visit to Echo Lake a few years ago. “Everything to me is interesting. I take a lot of drives to find photos and there he was by himself. The water was perfect that day.” It’s through the arts and creativity that both the MIFSC and CMHA hope to break down some of the barriers and stigma that exist with mental illness, as well as give people living with mental illness a medium through which to express themselves. “There is a vital link between creativity and well being for all of us,” said Ladouceur. “When we are engaged in a creative pursuit there is a flood of neuron activity in our brains, producing endorphins. The release of endorphins can provide relief from pain, help with the symptoms of anxiety and depression as well as elevate mood. The power of art as a therapeutic activity can

The show serves as a reminder that people
with mental illness live, work, and create in our community. We also hope that it will remind everyone of the importance of taking care of their own mental health.” Awakening the Spirit can be viewed when attending performances at the Performing Arts Centre until Nov. 3, with free viewings Tuesdays from 1 to 2:30 p.m. To make arrangements for special group viewings, contact Sue at 250-542-3114.
Too busy to cook: Pamper your Palate this Thanksgiving Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
morninG star File Photo
Guests enjoy food prepared before their eyes at last year’s Pamper Your Palate. This year’s event once again takes place on Thanksgiving, Oct. 12, in the Best Western Vernon Lodge.
Maybe you’re a Thanksgiving neophyte who doesn’t know how to prepare and stuff a bird or whip up a pumpkin pie. Or maybe you just don’t have the time, or enough mouths to feed, this upcoming holiday weekend. There is a solution for this dilemma: Just let a group of professional chefs do the cooking for you. On Thanksgiving Sunday, Oct. 12, local restaurants and caterers and 25 B.C. wineries will be offering guests plenty to savour at the 17th annual Pamper Your Palate in the Best Western Vernon Lodge. “A lot of people use this as their
Thanksgiving dinner,” said event founder and organizer Bob Sattler. Although Pamper Your Palate is no longer part of the Okanagan Fall Wine Festival, it still stands as one of Vernon’s premiere events for wine and food. “It was rated in The Province newspaper as one of the top wine events for the cost,” said Sattler. “If you’re a wine lover, there’s no other event like this.

Skip to the groove
Hook into some bloody good blues
Lenny Kravitz: Strut
A
Morning Star Staff
Despite their grim sounding name, Shawn “The Harpoonist” Hall and Matthew “The Axe Murderer” Rogers evoke much more than just grisly nautical imagery. Together, The Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer kick out raw and primal blues while infusing the genre with a jolt of renewed energy. The duo is bringing its full arsenal of harmonicas, a mess of foot percussion and a roadworn Telecaster to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre’s first of two on-stage concerts, Sunday. “With the audience seated cabaret style on the stage, The Harpoonist and The Axe Murderer will perform an intimate concert in this unique venue,” said Brian van Wensem, audience development coordinator with the Performing Arts Centre. Influenced by everything from the iconic songwriting of Willie Dixon to the boundary pushing

Vancouver duo The Harpoonist and The Axe Murderer, Matthew Rogers, left, and Shawn Hall, perform the first of the Vernon Performing Arts Centre’s on-stage concerts, Sunday. of Jack White and Danger Mouse, The Harpoonist and The Axe Murderer create a sound that is distinctly their own. Hall provides the rousing, rugged vocals and blues harmonica, while Rogers rips on the guitar and pounds the skins with his feet. Their music is up front and unapologetic, smothered in greasy, gritty soul and imbued with funk. It is blues played the way it was meant to be played. To date, The Harpoonist and The Axe Murderer have released three full-length albums. Their third album, A Real Fine Mess, was released in June, following their widely acclaimed album, Checkered Past, released in 2011. Their self-titled debut came out in 2008.
Hall and Rogers have gathered considerable recognition in the last few years, receiving multiple Maple Blues Awards and winning the title of “Blues Act of the Year” at the SiriusXM Indies in 2013. The duo has also pounded their fair share of festival stages including SXSW 2013/14, the Winnipeg Folk Festival, Ottawa Blues Fest, Calgary Folk Fest, and the Montreal Jazz Festival. Tickets for The Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer are $25 each 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, no minors.) Call the Ticket Seller at 549-SHOW (7469) or visit www.ticketseller.ca.

rocker who turns his gaze ever backward, Lenny Kravitz tarries awhile in the mid ‘80s on Strut, his 10th album. His opening blast of sexed up funk-rock, Sex, recalls both Duran Duran and The Talking Heads. What? Dean Gordon-Smith On paper it works as both groups had a high groove component but Kravitz cut his teeth and made his bones on earlier, rougher stuff. Classic rock, shall we say? Sonically it’s a garden of earthly delights – flanged riffs, octave hopping bass hooks, kick and snare soul rock drums and the sweet tones of amped-up analog fidelity. It’s not a stretch to suggest that people listen to Kravitz to experience a remake of the flash, soul and sweat of the late ‘60s and ‘70s era of psychedelia, soul and rock. The man knows how to bring it to life. But the ‘80s? No, don’t bring that into this... The first track definitely could
Street SoundS
wreck the vibe for the rest of the recording. Fortunately, Kravitz and band (featuring guitar buddy and songwriting partner Craig Ross) abandon the effete sounds of the pastel decade and move back into some dramatic edge-of-angst riffing (Dirty White Boots, The Chamber). Despite his arrangement savvy, Kravitz’ lyrics are flat and dimensionless. On a hot soul-rock track like New York City, the lyrics sound thoughtless and phoned in, a recurring theme on an otherwise groovy and spirited album that grabs energy from the best of the 1970s soul/ funk/rock era but runs the risk of lifting the virtual needle off the virtual vinyl. Ignore the dumb-ass ‘80s clichés of Dirty White Boots and Strut and look beyond to Kravitz and band’s funk-rock dedication: They balance groove, restraint and disco ball abandon. Also detectable are some Iggy Pop-type new wave rhythms on I’m a Believer and some churchy progressions in I Never Want to Let You Down. Kravitz wears his past and influences openly on his silky sleeves but his artistry is in how he connects the sounds and pushes it forward into a high energy rock and roll review.

The Boxtrolls is a stop-motion hit The Boxtrolls
U
nder the town of Cheesebridge lives a community of Boxtrolls, who have raised an orphaned human boy named Eggs, because he wears an egg box. When exterminators threaten to rid Cheesebridge of every last troll, Eggs must come to the surface to convince the townspeople that trolls are friendly and save the day. We say, “It’s more fun and child friendly than ParaNorman.” HOWE: The people who gave us ParaNorman from a couple of years back have now given us The Boxtrolls and I must say, I found this a little less scary for the little ones. There are still a few moments at the beginning, with the trolls little eyes glowing in the dark, but that’s about as frightening as it gets throughout the film. FENIN: It’s not that scary dad. Can I have

one as a pet? HOWE: Err, no. They are way too messy to look after. TAYLOR: It’s the stop motion animation that makes these films special. It’s easy to forget as you’re watching this colourful, whimsical and somewhat weird tale that this is not a cartoon. It’s a series of still photographs taken, in between moving the camera, the models, the little figurines –they’re sort of puppets without strings– as well as clay and other materials. This film is a mixed media work of art. As it turns out, it’s also pretty entertaining. HOWE: You can add the fact that they are starting to attract
The boy known as Eggs by his troll family saves the day in The Boxtrolls. some big names to voice the characters: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Sir Ben Kingsley to name a few. The talent shows in the cast’s comic timing, which makes it a little more entertaining than the past couple of movies like this. My only concern is that both ParaNorman and The Boxtrolls are very similar in storyline and character (an outcast becomes accepted). If you have seen one, you have seen them both. FENIN: I liked that the trolls made inven-
tions out of bits and pieces. And it was very funny. I laughed a lot. TAYLOR: All in all, a fine film with a good message for kids of all ages. It also happens to be amazing if you remind yourself once in a while of what it is you’re actually looking at. – Taylor gives The Boxtrolls 3.5 red hats out of 5. – Howe gives it 2.5 white hats out of 5. – Fenin gives it 5 Boxtrolls out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

A look at ages and stages C. Lynne Reside Special to The Morning Star
The Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ3) Screening Day is for children under six years of age. ASQ-3 is a set of questionnaires about children’s development that has been used for more than 20 years to make sure children are developing well. It is called a screener because it looks at how children are doing in important areas, such as speech, physical ability, social skills and problem-solving skills. ASQ-3 can help identify your child’s strengths as well as any areas where your child may need support. As a parent or caregiver, you are the best source of information about your child. That’s why ASQ-3 questionnaires are designed to be filled out by you. You will only need 10 to 15 minutes. It’s that quick and easy. In infancy, the ASQ is administered by public health nursing at the health unit. We have also been able to train many other community members such as child care providers and foster parents. Our goal is that every child under six is screened three or more times and that the ASQ screening is valued by parents in the same way as medical check-ups or immunization. We are planning a number of ASQ clinics in the community and are encouraging parents to

The first clinic will be held Saturday at The Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs, Vernon, 3300-37th Ave. No appointment is necessary – just dropin between 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. If the screening shows concerns about your child’s development, suggestions will be given about activities that you can do at home or if needed, referrals can be made to the appropriate services in the community.
The ASQ is a developmental check-up for everyone! Watch for our posters throughout the community. nnn The North Okanagan Early Years Screening Project is an initiative with The North Okanagan Early Years Council, formerly the North Okanagan Early Childhood Development Coalition, and has been in Vernon for more than 10 years. We are a coalition of stakeholders concerned with ensur-
ing that our North Okanagan communities are the best places to raise young children. We know that the first five years of life are the time of greatest brain development and a critical time for setting a strong foundation for everything that happens later. Our members include representation from Interior Health, municipal government, School Districts 22 and 83, non-profit organizations, faith groups, aboriginal and newcomer communities, business and parents. Positive outcomes for young children are important to every sector in the North Okanagan. Researchers at UBC and many other academic institutions, boards of trade and early childhood development specialists all understand that the return on investment in the early years is huge. Our council has made a commitment to ensuring that parents have support to do the job of raising healthy, happy children. We also want to ensure that any challenges or barriers to their healthy development are addressed. Early identification of potential problems and early intervention to address those potential problems is essential. Small problems addressed early can prevent larger problems. C. Lynne Reside is early years community development coordinator, North Okanagan Early Years Council.

Seed lending takes root at the Vernon library Morning Star Staff
A new idea is starting to sprout and take root at the Vernon library — a seed lending library. Patrons will be allowed to check out seeds on the condition they replace the seeds the following season from the plants they grew. “The objective is to foster healthy eating by enhancing people’s ability to grow their own fresh food,” said Vernon reference librarian Peter Critchley. “We also want to promote a culture of sharing, recognize the rich agricultural heritage of the North Okanagan and hopefully develop seed stock that is particularly well-suited to different parts of the region.” The seed lending
“We also want to promote a culture of sharing...” — Peter Critchley
library will only stock heirloom seeds — plant varieties grown for several generations with physical and genetic qualities that are relatively stable. These seeds are true to type, and planners will reap what they sow. The library has prepared two guides on how to save seeds and these are available at the library. Some seeds, such as beans, squash and herbs, are easy to save. Other seeds, such as tomatoes, lettuce and cucumbers, are more difficult. All seeds will be stored in a cabinet
and organized first by family name, species and variety, if that information is available. “The long-term plan is to create an online catalogue of the seed with other information about seed saving, including the material in the two brochures.” Patrons contributing seed will be asked to place seeds from each vegetable in its own envelope and label it with the type of vegetable, variety if known, date and general location. The envelopes can be dropped off at the information desk on
the second floor of the library. “The reason we want the date and location is to build a data base that hopefully one day will allow growers to choose seed that is particularly well adapted to where they intend to plant it,” said Critchley. “This information could also help determine why a plant did poorly or exceptionally well by looking back at weather patterns from that year, in terms of the microclimates in the region.” The seed will be stored in a cabinet on the second floor. A ledger will be available at the cabinet and patrons will be asked to sign it, enter their library card number and the seed they borrow. There is no set limit but patrons
will be asked to consider the needs of all library users. “A natural relationship exists between seeds and books — both prefer cool, dry and dark environments.” A pinch of small seed will usually provide you with more than enough seedlings. For larger seeds, patrons will be asked to limit themselves to a few and to consider how big the plant gets and how much it produces. One or two zucchini plants are often more than enough to feed your family and neighbours. Seeds can be dropped off at the information desk on the second floor.

Cycling northeast Vernon and the BX The North Okanagan provides many scenic routes to enjoy by bike Moira Mccoll Special to The Morning Star
Our favourite cycling days are ones with warm sunny weather and great scenery. We love to take time to explore interesting sites and visit inviting cafes and eateries. Sure the route could be done in one sweaty hour, but we prefer to savour the experience, taking two or three hours. It’s early Saturday morning and the sun is warm on our backs as we head east along the 25th Avenue Linear Park. Our plan is to head north, but we take a quick cycle around Polson Park. A local karate club is holding a class behind gardens of pink phlox and yellow day lilies. We stop to admire the floral clock, and check the date, which is changed daily, then head downtown, eventually following the bike path along 20th Street. After crossing 48th Street we veer off to the right onto BX Creek Trail. Here, nestled between residential subdivisions, is a boardwalk that follows the gurgling
BX Creek, shielded from the urban noise by stands of tall black cottonwoods. This is a riparian ecosystem, a moist habitat for several endangered species. A keen eye might spot a Western Toad, a Little Brown Bat, or the exotic-sounding Rubber Boa. This cool, lush corridor connects Swan Lake to upper BX Creek. From here one can see a Great Blue Heron rookery in a stand of tall trees in front of Walmart. This is one of a very few breeding sites in an urban location. Three nests were first spotted in 1968 and there are now more than 40. The best time to see the herons is in March when they lay their eggs that require about a month to hatch. The baby birds are launched at about 10 weeks old. At Stickle Road we turn up to Pleasant Valley Road and head to 46th Avenue/ BX Road, where we turn east. Here is the original BX Ranch homestead, now best known for its large dog park. The road is moderately steep but we are protected by morning shade and soon connect with East Vernon Road. Near the corner is the BX Press Cidery and Orchard, open for tastings and tales of the BX, Friday to Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Here we are entertained and educated, learning the origins of these well-known
initials. In 1864, during the Cariboo gold rush, Francis Jones Barnard purchased 6,300 acres from the Crown to fatten cattle and raise express ponies used on his stage coach runs from the valley to the Cariboo. The ranch housed Barnard’s Express, the largest freighting company in B.C., with routes covering more than 1,000 miles and second in size only to the legendary Wells Fargo. The cidery produces cider from a variety of apples grown on land that was part of this famous ranch. We taste three varieties, the Prospector, the Hostler and the Bandit. We leave, each carrying two bottles of cider in our panier bags. We wind back through Vernon to Okanagan Landing Road, having clocked 25 km. We’ve discovered hidden wetlands, the rolling valley that was home to one of B.C.’s most famous ranches, and experienced the crisp taste of artisan cider. And now it’s time to get home and crack open a cold bottle of cider on the back deck. Moira McColl is a freelance writer and cycling enthusiast in Vernon. This is the second in her six-part Urban Wanderer series on cycling in the area, with the hope that it will encourage locals and visitors alike to explore the North Okanagan on two wheels.

Hands can be very powerful; by holding a pen or a sword, a gun or simply giving a loving and caring touch. When King Saul had a javelin in his hand, held with evil content, David “played with his hand.” We read of the hands of Jesus outstretched to bless. Anyone else would have run a mile rather than touch the hand of a leper. But “Jesus put forth his hand and touched him, saying I will; be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy was cleansed.”

mid-range torque making the Mustang accelerate easily and it passes well on the highway. There isn’t the classic V8 rumble but this compromise is easy to take, knowing that this model has plenty of power for the average daily commuter. The true muscle car enthusiast will be attracted to the 435hp 5.0L V8. Power goes through either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The big change to the chassis is the introduction of an independent rear suspension and modified front suspension, plus bigger brakes. Carving through the canyons outside of L.A. was a treat, the platform is very forgiving and there is no longer any unstable mid-corner surprises found in the older cars, just a very sure-footed modern car. Verdict 50 years is a long time to continually produce a single car model. What comes out of this is a cumulative result that is
hard to beat. The engineers have done a great job of bringing the suspension into the modern world and the new EcoBoost engine will be very popular, once people try it. The old-school buyers will be attracted to the meaty V8 but often, sensible decisions prevail and the EcoBoost is a solid experience. The styling is stunning, inside and out. To be blunt, this car will be a homerun for Ford. There are two things I’d like to see improved. The seat back has no electric actuation, which means getting the right spot is hard to achieve. The second is the suspension in the GT can be a bit bouncy over city conditions but settles right down at highway speeds – pretty minor stuff for an all-new car.

driveway Tips your dad should have taught you By Rob Sass
We’re not always around a fully stocked garage, auto parts store or tool chest when the need arises to save the day with a big repair. Sometimes, Sometimes, when you have a breakdown you’ve got to go when you have a with what falls readily to hand, breakdown you’ve whether it’s duct tape, J-B Weld got to go with what or a coat hanger. Here are five stories of some truly epic impro- falls readily to hand, vised repairs: whether it’s duct Dormitory parking lot transmistape, J-B Weld or a sion repair: Rory Carroll is now the Executive Editor of Autoweek coat hanger. magazine. While at MichiRob Sass gan State University, he was foolish enough to loan his 1991 Volkswagen Golf GTI to a fellow student the day before he was supposed to make the threehour drive home to Traverse City, Mich. “When he returned the keys to me, he told me that the car had made a loud noise when he’d parked it.” Carroll found the GTI in the dorm parking lot sitting in a pool of oil; the “friend,” however, was nowhere to be seen. Two chunks of transaxle case were lying in the middle of said pool. Carroll took a bus to a hardware store where he purchased some J-B Weld and, optimistically, four quarts of transaxle oil. He cleaned the pieces of the transaxle case in his dorm room sink, mixed up the J-B Weld and drove the Golf up onto the curb to get at the transaxle. Carroll pushed the metal fragments and J-B Weld back into place, wedged them in with a piece of wood and waited a few hours before refilling the transaxle with oil and hitting the road — into the jaws of a winter storm as only Northern Michigan can do them. Blown head gasket and cylinder head during a race: The 24 Hours of LeMons is an endurance race for $500 cars. The organizers say that the premise “isn’t just an oxymoron, it’s a breeding ground for morons.” Damned resourceful morons, anyway — perhaps even the Steve Jobs and Thomas Edison of the improvised repair world. Team Dr. Feelgood’s 1993 Dodge Shadow was participating in “Capitol Offense,” the D.C.-area version of the infamous motorsports affront, when not surprisingly; the Shadow blew a head gasket and disintegrated part of the cylinder

’’
head itself. The intrepid racers made a new gasket and slathered J-B Weld on the toasted cylinder head, allowing them to finish the race and win the coveted Judge’s Choice Award without having to resort to a bribe, as is customary for awards in the LeMons world. Leaky radiator addressed by another kind of leak: Tim Suddard is the publisher of Classic Motorsports and Grassroots Motorsports magazines. No stranger to ill-advised road trips in old cars, Suddard (who resides in Florida) was on a cross-country road trip in a vintage motor home, when it sprang a leak in its radiator while traversing sparsely populated Wyoming. He valiantly dumped every liquid in the motor home into the radiator but still fell short of the nearest town (and bathroom) by a few miles. He killed two birds with one stone, and you can guess how. Fabricated Florida fan belt: Another time, Suddard found himself behind the wheel of a questionable machine, a dilapidated early 1990s vintage E30 BMW 318. Rather than towing the car home, he elected to drive the tired Bimmer the 200 odd miles home. Predictably, something failed (in this case, a fan belt in I-95 Miami rush hour). The ever-resourceful Suddard reached for the only thing that fell readily to hand, a roll of duct tape known to racers affectionately as “200 mph tape.” By twisting a length of it repeatedly, and then fastening the ends, Suddard was able to fashion a temporary fan belt that allowed him to make it home. Failed generator generates repeat battery purchases: Suddard is clearly a good guy to have around when you break down in the middle of nowhere. In the third chapter of the Suddard trilogy, a few years back, he bought a 1963 Ford Ranchero. The seller assured Suddard it was ready to drive across the country. Taking him at his word, Suddard set off in the Ranchero on a cross-country drive. As it turns out, it was far from road ready with no heat and a failing generator. Given the fact that Ford had switched from alternators to generators for the 1965 model year, there were none to be found in any auto parts stores along the way. Suddard simply stocked up on batteries and a battery charger — enough batteries to power a Soviet-era diesel/ electric submarine. He drove (during the daytime only) on the batteries and charged them in the hotel room at night. Rob Sass is the vice-president of content for Hagerty Insurance.

Three red peppers and a bright red roadster to go, please By Keith Morgan
Judging by the number of people who stop to chat to members of the Driveway team in the supermarket, most of you still rely on newspapers like this one to help narrow down your next-car shortlist. Total strangers often boldly approach us in the veggies’ section to ask what car they should buy next. After a few questions about what their budget is and how they will use the vehicle, we can usually give them five products to consider. I should add, that lead reviewer Zack Spencer fields most questions in airport lounges across the country! Next to house buying, it’s generally a family’s second largest purchase made so it should be no surprise that people want to seek advice. We learned earlier this year, that polling revealed that our readers will spend a staggering $3.6 billion on new cars in the next year and another $1.69 million on used cars or preowned, if we are to be sensitive to the feelings of those vehicles with a few kilometres on their clock! It’s true there are so many electronic ways now available to do that basic research but while the internet and social media play an important role in your car selection, auto writers romance you in print over the months leading up to you signing on the dotted line. We bring you news of the latest products and test drive as many of them as we can for you. What has changed dramatically in recent years is the way we present that information. For many years, automotive sections were a
strictly male domain and we thought that all we needed to do was make a few remarks about a subject car’s handling, print some pictures then list its specifications. Pretty boring, really, unless you are a car nut. Now there is solid research that reveals that women play a major role in the purchase decisions made in around 80 percent of car sales. And it’s obvious that most males really do not spend their days trolling automotive websites, as some would have us believe. Some men will even admit they really don’t know that much about cars. I know, say it ain’t so. For the aforementioned reasons, we at Driveway try to bring you stories about, or involving cars, that are of a broader interest. Whenever possible, we bring your lifestyle-oriented stories that may involve, travel, fashion and even music that speak to regular folks. Just one example. Who could resist reading recently about Alexandra Straub’s about her drive in an Audi from Munich to Budapest, just to have a home cooked meal with her grandparents. – Judging by the response, not many! We even included the menu and recipe. In the coming year, we will continue to share such stories with you, to entertain you and inform you. And we want to hear your stories about your road trips, your favourite cars and what you would like to read more about in Driveway. Please don’t hesitate to drop me a line or stop me in the meat section of the supermarket, which is more likely where you will find me. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Driving down the road you see quite a variety of work vehicles, cube vans, flat decks, service trucks and pickups to name but a few. The days of the traditional van have gone except for a few that have seen more than a little action in their lives! Consumers looking for a work van now want more headroom in the back to carry out products to the job site or perhaps use as a portable office or shop. Enter the European vans. The Sprinter van is a classic example. It started with just a few driving our streets and now it’s the template for what other vans to
aspire to be. The 2015 Ford Transit is new to us but has been around for many years in Europe; a big success there and it will likely prove to be a huge success here.
LOOKS The looks scream European but its fits right at home here in Canada.

The available engines are 3.7L Ti-VCT V6 with 275 hp, 3.5L EcoBoost V6 with 310 hp and a 3.2L I5 Diesel with 185 hp all mated to a 6 speed automatic transmission Safety is important and a work van should be a safe place to work. The Transit van offers driver and passenger airbags, side curtain and front thorax side airbags, anti-lock brakes, and 3 point seat belts. If the SYNC option is chosen a distress call is made for you when the air bag goes off.

ROADWORTHY The power rack and pinion steering set up helps this van drive like a dream. Turning is very easy and backing into loading bays is a piece of cake.
