Mayoralty hopefuls look to polls RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The race is almost over. After weeks of campaigning, Vernon’s five mayoralty candidates will know Saturday evening whether they rose to the top or if voters didn’t embrace their message. ““I’m hearing it’s going to be very close. It’s going to be a tight race,” said Victor Cumming. Cumming is an economist who is entering politics for the first time. “I’ve been getting a great response. I’m surprised by the number of people approaching me and saying they enjoy my message.” Jamie Morrow isn’t making any predictions. “I’m happy with what I’ve done during the campaign and the response I’m receiving but you don’t know until it’s over,” said the college recruiter and former Sparwood councillor. “Three weeks ago, I was told I was a dark horse and I take that as a compliment. It means I’m making waves. I’ve been quite encouraged,” he said. Akbal Mund admits the cam-
paign has provided a learning experience. “This is my first trip into politics and it’s been an education about what every group is looking for,” said the former Wendy’s owner. “I always feel positive. If I didn’t think I could do the job, I wouldn’t have run, but residents have to decide.” Mary-Jo O’Keefe will be watching the polls closely Saturday night. “We have had lots of people say positive things so I am relatively confident but it’s hard to gauge where you are at. I’m still nervous,” said the current city councillor and owner of MJO Communications. “With this many people running, it (outcome) is difficult to gauge.” Klaus Tribes says his return to campaigning has been upbeat. “I have been approached by a lot of people, including many I don’t know, and they are thanking me for running,” said the former city councillor and retired restaurant owner. “I hope that translates into something positive.”

Multi-million-dollar water plan goes before voters RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The fate of a contentious multi-milliondollar master water plan hangs in the balance. Greater Vernon residents will be asked during a referendum Saturday if they support borrowing up to $70 million for water-related infrastructure projects. “It’s not a Cadillac system,” said Mike Macnabb, Greater Vernon Advisory Committee director. Proposed upgrades include filtration at the Duteau Creek treatment plant, an oversized irrigation main line, separation of Coldstream agricultural water, improved domestic distribution, a pump station for agricultural supply and raising the Aberdeen Lake dam. “The $70 million is in 2012 dollars and
construction costs have gone up since then,” said Gyula Kiss, a Coldstream councillor and GVAC director opposed to the proposal. “When you are going to spend millions on a master water plan that dumps treated water on agricultural land, it’s a poor investment.” Kiss questions why Duteau Creek is used as a domestic water source because it depends on sufficient snowpack being available. “Okanagan and Kalamalka lakes are supplied by surface water and aquifers. Kal Lake quality is significantly better and Okanagan Lake has good quality water.” While there is currently no infrastructure on Okanagan Lake, Kiss says Greater Vernon Water’s ultimate plan is to use Okanagan Lake. “All of the money put into Duteau will be lost,” he said, adding that all domestic water
Macnabb is urging residents to seriously consider that outcome. “People have to ask themselves, ‘If the referendum fails, what will realistically happen?’ There is no indication that the provincial government will bail us out (financially),” he said. “The idea that we can force the Interior Health Authority to change its mind on current regulations is not doable. The reality is that we have legislated requirements to meet for water standards.” And Macnabb insists there are benefits from using both Duteau Creek and Kalamalka Lake as there is a back-up system if one of the sources is unavailable. “If the quagga and zebra mussels ever happen in Okanagan and Kalamalka lakes, we’d be in trouble (without Duteau).”

users should be switched over to Kalamalka Lake. “Agriculture could continue to use Duteau. It’s the cheapest source for them because it would be untreated.” However, Macnabb says that over two years, three engineering firms reviewed nine different options and staff from Vernon, Coldstream and the regional district were involved in developing the master water plan. “We looked at all of the options and all are more expensive,” he said, adding that if the referendum succeeds, residents benefit from very low interest rates. Greater Vernon Water says a positive borrowing referendum will increase water bills by about $36 a year. While most Vernon and Coldstream candidates are voting against the referendum,

Laundry may be privatized
Lest We Forget

How to provide laundry will be put through the wringer at Interior hospitals. The Interior Health Authority notified unionized staff Wednesday that it’s exploring the future of laundry service and specifically whether using a private contractor is financially feasible. “There is no predetermined option,” said Lori Holloway, IHA regional director of facilities management. IHA currently has five large and six small laundry sites with 175 employees. In Vernon, there are 15 fulltime equivalent staff. “We want to ensure we have a sustainable laundry service,” said Holloway of the need for the review. “We have limited capital dollars to support our aging infrastructure.” IHA spends about $10 million a year to operate the laundry service and it’s believed about $10.5 million is needed over the next several years to replace equipment such as washing machines. “Interior Health is not in a position to make significant investments in laundry, but rather place priority on the most pressing patient care needs such as medical equipment, and development of new or upgraded patient care spaces,” states a release. In the next week, IHA, along with Lower Mainland health authorities, will issue a joint request for qualification to see if private companies are interested in providing laundry services.
The Home Office you have been looking for …
IHA is also meeting with the Hospital Employees Union, which represents laundry staff, to discuss alternatives beyond going to the private sector. “Nothing is changing today. We are just in the process of determining our options,” said Holloway, who wouldn’t speculate on possible options that could see the service continue under IHA’s mandate. The earliest any changes could occur is April 2016, but HEU hopes privatization can be stopped. “We’re really disappointed IHA is considering contracting out,” said Mike Old, HEU communications director. “Clearly these are important jobs to our members, their families and their communities. They deliver a quality service to the health care system.” Old says the union will participate in the consultation process with IHA. “Our experience is that contracting out results in lower wages for employees and less control over the service by the health authority,” he said. “We will try and make sure we protect these jobs and the service.”

achieve the results he wanted. “I had this turning point where I really had to refocus. I realized that I wanted to end my career on a high note, not a low note,” said Dueck. “I was able to find that zone, reconnect with my equipment, and everything lined up at the exact right moment in Sochi. I was able to ski the way I wanted to, and ski well. To have the honour of being the flagbearer at the end of the Games, it really solidified that experience for me.” For Dueck, skiing for his country has been a life-changing experience. “Being a para-alpine athlete has instilled in me a great sense of confidence,” he said. “We’re treated like any other athlete, and what’s expected from us is no different. It creates such a demand that it forces discipline. That discipline causes us to move beyond what we think we’re capable of... The person that I am today is a direct result of the opportunities I’ve had as an athlete on the Canadian Para-Alpine Ski Team. “I have an overwhelming sense of gratitude towards my coaches and everyone who believed in me throughout my racing career. My friends, my family, my teammates, my sponsors, Alpine Canada – I’ve been lucky that so many people have supported me. Without them none of it would have happened.” Dueck is working on a book about redefining what’s possible, as told through his personal experiences. He also plans to stay involved as an ambassador for paraalpine skiing through coaching, mentoring, and helping to test and develop equipment for upcoming athletes. Dueck will pursue his passion for freeskiing as an athlete at the upcoming XGames, and by filming projects like the award-winning documentary, The Freedom Chair.

Enderby candidates list priorities Editor’s note: The Morning Star gives mayoralty candidates one last chance to reach voters before elections Saturday with the following question - What is the No. 1 issue in Enderby and why should residents vote for you as mayor? HOWIE CYR During the past term much has been accomplished within our city, things which have positioned us to move to yet another level of success. We have reached a point Cyr where our commu-
nity is respected, by our regional partners and provincial and federal representatives alike. There are a number of goals to achieve, such as acquiring the CP Rail corridor which runs through our community, developing Barnes Park into a first class outdoor fitness/spray park and lobbying the minister of health to provide support for our seniors so they can age in place, to name only a few. However, in order to accomplish these goals, the city needs strong leadership, the kind of leadership I have provided during my term as mayor. Therefore, it is my considered opinion, the No. 1 issue is leadership.
GREG MCCUNE The No. 1 issue in Enderby is providing the services our citizens need from affordable taxes to reliable health care. We have to invest in our business community and celebrate our river and beautiful surrounding region. As the mayor, I would be working McCune with our amazing volunteers and community groups to accomplish a clear list of priorities that will benefit everyone.

He is the one candidate who can enable Vernon to continue adapting to its rapidly changing environment, while pushing itself successfully onto the national and international stage in many ways. He has demonstrated lifelong commitment to building community health and vitality. Vote for innovative leadership to recharge our economy and manage our finances by working successfully together. JAMIE MORROW My No. 1 issue is change, positive change. My No. 1 priority is economic development. We need to create an environment that supports our local businesses and actively promotes and enables businesses to locate here. This has many benefits to our community: Increases the tax base and revenue so that we don’t always have to go to our citizens for more tax dollars. Brings higher paying jobs to our community – making Vernon a place where local businesses can thrive and people support their economy. These employment opportunities help young individuals and families of all ages become sustainable and keep them in Vernon to live and play here. We need to create an environment that states “Vernon is Open for Business!” I bring a fresh new approach. I am your voice. I am honest, dependable, approachable, open-minded
and experienced. Vote for Morrow for a brighter tomorrow. For more, check out JamieforVernonMayor. com. AKBAL MUND What is the No. 1 issue in Vernon? The No. 1 issue in Vernon after attending all the forums and responses from the general public is we need to act upon what many groups and citizens of Vernon want instead of talking about what we should do and spending more time studying what we may do, wasting money, and not acting upon recommendations received. Future growth is necessary if we wish to keep taxes to a minimum. We have to have a vision, a plan and stick to it! Why should I be elected mayor? My experience in organizations and events is extensive, I am what people call a “doer,” I get the job done. I do not shy away from tough decisions, do not settle for mediocrity, and treat others as I would want to be treated. We have been a stagnant community for many years, Vernon needs an infusion of new leadership! My record shows that I have been successful and am a people person. My philosophy on business was “the customer comes first.” You, the residents of Vernon, are those customers! MARY-JO O’KEEFE The city has made many positive changes this term (our building numbers are up and we did receive the open for business award) but we still have a strong perception that it is difficult
to do business here. I would have a meeting with developers and commercial realtors, to ask what they see as barriers to doing business here then prioritize and address these issues head on. We have several large capital expenditures coming towards our citizens this term. As leaders we need to ensure that we are providing our citizens with the best possible option keeping in mind the financial constraints many of our citizens face. We can achieve some of this by actively partnering with our citizens and non-profit groups to ensure that we are maximizing their efforts. Growth will also help broaden our taxation rates and allow us to provide more to our citizens without large tax increases. KLAUS TRIBES The No. 1 issue for this city is economic development. If we don’t get more people working all other issues that were talked about during this election become unattainable or at least get pushed further into the future. Everything is connected to the wealth of our community, whether it is a new art gallery, ice rink, a possible 50-metre swimming pool or an expanded museum, to name just a few of the items on the community wish list. To achieve this we must become very business friendly. My attitude will be, “How can we be of service to you? What can we do to help make it happen?” I will have all applications for development and business copied to the mayor’s office and I will personally follow up on their progress. The door to the mayor’s office will always be open. I will aggressively follow all leads that will create jobs in Vernon.

A well-laid plan for industrial and residential growth would offset the tax burden placed on our residential sector, which is facing a 20 per cent tax increase based on the financial plan put forward by the current mayor for the next four years. Economic development would have eliminated the need for the massive tax Hansma increase borne by the farming sector over the past three years. I want to encourage growth in all sectors of the municipality. Recently going door to door, I have met many young families with one of the parents working out-of-town. We need family-sustaining jobs here in Spallumcheen. I want to work with the neighbouring communities in the North Okanagan to develop a strategy to encourage economic growth. Let’s cooperate and put a prosperous community back in place. I will provide the leadership to preserve and protect the lifestyle we expect.

What is the No. 1 issue in Spallumcheen and why should residents vote for you as mayor? JANICE BROWN As mayor of Spallumcheen for the last three years, I have been honoured to provide leadership to a council who is committed to fulfilling their potential with confidence. We will revisit the tax impacts of Bill 8 on our farmers; we continue to lobby the ministry and work with our finance department to reduce the burden our farmers feel. Brown Your honest conversation and understanding has shown that you trust that we listened to your concerns. The next four years as your mayor will allow me to expand on what is possible, to work as a team to collaborate with Armstrong, Steele Springs and the other water districts that wish to take this opportunity to join the Armstrong Water Utility, allowing us to have residential and industrial growth. Every one of us wants to be proud to live in a sustainable, thriving community where we live, work and play. Let’s keep the momentum going forward not backwards. The choice is yours. Vote for Brown.

Voting is our civic duty
find it odd how the majority of people in my age range (let’s leave that vague and say 20 to 40) have zero interest in politics. Yes, some of us have interest and are even directly involved, but for the most part, we would rather lend our attention to Hollywood gossip than the actions taking place in our own town, which directly affect us. In fact in previous federal elections, I’ve known numerous people to know nothing about our local candidates as they are too enthralled by all the scandalous stories in the American election coverage. I understand voter Jennifer Smith apathy among this age range, as we are the generation that is most occupied by work, school, family and household chores. We are the generation who doesn’t have the time to clean the bathroom, let alone get out and vote in an election we know very little about. But even if you haven’t picked up a newspaper, attended a forum or discussed the subject among friends, it is not too late. It literally only takes a few minutes to vote, and polling stations are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. But, yes, there is more to it then just showing up and marking off some random names (and for all local votes you can choose up to six councillors and one mayor - if one is not already acclaimed). Getting informed is a civic duty we have. Yes, we are all busy, but The Morning Star has made it all too easy with a special section from last Sunday’s paper. A special North Okanagan election coverage pullout was designed for all those who want to know a bit about each of the candidates but don’t have the time to go looking up all of the candidates. Here we have compiled a quick and handy read on all the candidates. If you’ve since thrown out your Sunday paper, go online to vernonmorningstar.
At RAndoM
com/eeditions, and scroll down to Special Publications. There you will find the blue and red election tab - click to read. Now some of us don’t actually have a vote in our civic area due to acclamation. Or perhaps you are so dumbfounded by the choices that you don’t feel comfortable voting. But there are still other very important choices to be made Saturday. One is school trustee. All regions except Lumby have a choice for school trustee. In Coldstream there are two candidates running for the one Coldstream seat. Elsewhere in the Vernon school district (which includes the electoral areas) there are seven candidates, but just four seats. There is also a race in the North Okanagan-Shuswap school district, for those voting in that region. Another big decision to make is whether or not to approve the borrowing referendum for $70 million for the master water plan. It’s something we have been told that we ‘have to have,’ yet many of our existing politicians have said they will not be supporting it. It seems to me a complete waste of money to hold this referendum, but regardless, it is still a choice we have. Where ever you end up making your mark Saturday (or if you already have in the advance polls), be proud of your choices. And be proud that you educated yourself and got out and exercised your right to vote. For those who are still shrugging off that duty, perhaps you should think back to Tuesday. Remembrance Day, whether you participated in that or not, was a day to be thankful for the ultimate sacrifices that were made on our behalf. Our grandfathers, great grandfathers and so on, fought for our freedom. Voting is just one of the democratic rights we have thanks to them. So stop making excuses and exercise your right to vote. It is our duty to get informed and make a choice, which not only impacts us personally, but shows that we are thankful to those who fought for us and that their sacrifices were not made in vain.
There’s really no excuse why anyone, unless age prevents them, or they live in Lumby where all representatives have been acclaimed (except rural Lumby), can’t vote Saturday. If you couldn’t make it to one of the advance polls this week, polls are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday. And even if you are working all hours this weekend, your employer is entitled to give you time to go vote. Even if you live in Area B or C, where your local politicians have been acclaimed, you still have a choice on other matters. There’s school trustees to vote for as well as the $70 master water plan borrowing referendum. Just to make sure you know exactly where to go, here’s a list of voting stations: Armstrong Odd Fellows Hall, 3005 Wood Avenue Coldstream Coldstream Elementary School, 10104 Kalamalka Road Lavington Elementary School, 9715 School Road Enderby/Area F Enderby and District Senior Centre, 1101 George Street Falkland Falkland Elementary School, 5732 Tuktakamin Road North Westside Killiney Beach Community Hall, 514 Udell Road RDNO - BX/Swan Lake and Silver Star BX Elementary School, 5849 Silver Star Road RDNO - Rural Lumby White Valley Community Centre, 2250 Shields Avenue Spallumcheen Township municipal office, 4144 Spallumcheen Way Vernon Recreation Complex Auditorium, 3310-37th Avenue (auditorium) Ellison Elementary School, 2400 Fulton Road (gymnasium) Vernon Secondary School, 2303 18th Street (gymnasium)

NO TO PLAN I have decided to vote no against approving the master water plan referendum question that will be on our election ballot Nov. 15. I hope enough other voters will do so too such a level that the proposal will be soundly defeated. There is no doubt that Greater Vernon needs to ensure that its needs for water continue to be met in terms of both quality and quantity. I am convinced that separating domestic water from agricultural water, expensive as that is, is the way to go. However, I am not convinced the $70 million requested to do this in the master water plan will be a prudent expenditure of tax dollars. The scenario envisioned by the master water plan requires that the storage capacity of the reservoirs on the Aberdeen Plateau be increased and that water from that source continues to be purified to potable standards. Asking why that choice was made, left me awash in techno-speak and bafflegab. Most of us (about 75 to 80 per cent if memory serves me correctly) get our drinking water from Kal Lake and it is fairly cheap to make potable because Mother Nature makes sure that most suspended material

Water plan makes the grade
write this letter after witnessing what was, for me, a disappointing moment during the Vernon all-candidates forum at the Performing Arts Centre. The moderator, Pete McIntyre, from Kiss FM, asked the candidates to raise their hands if they were going to vote no to the water referendum. Some hands shot up instantly, the rest were raised hesitantly. There were no comments or further discussion. I was puzzled. Don’t we need a safe and reliable water system for sustainability and well-planned growth, a system that can withstand the ever increasing floods and drought caused by climate change? But what really bothered me was that none of the candidates spoke up to say that it was not their role to influence our decision on this vote but to urge all of us to seek out the facts so we could make our own informed decision? It smelled like pure politics to me. I had just attended an open house at the Regional District of North Okanagan office about the Vernon master water plan before coming to this forum. I had learned a lot. Because our water authority encompasses several jurisdictions, it has no ability to collect or spend municipal tax dollars. It operates solely on users fees (you use the water, you pay for the water) and sporadic provincial/federal grants. The only water under municipal jurisdiction is the effluent water which is part of waste treatment. The master water plan identifies nine options for upgrading our water system to meet the current B.C. Drinking Water Protection Act. These regulations will bring standards for safe

water up to a level comparable, but not exceeding, standards in other Canadian provinces and most of North America. All of the options were studied by the technical advisory committee, a group of engineers, water technologists and representatives from all the jurisdictions within the Greater Vernon Water area. They selected option two as the most cost effective choice. To fund the project, the committee has proposed borrowing $70 million, about two-thirds of the total cost, from the province at a low interest rate over 20 years. This would share the cost burden between current and future water customers who would all benefit from the improvements.
settles out naturally at no cost to us taxpayers and the deep lake provides sufficient dilution that e-coli and other harmful things can be easily treated with chlorination, ultra violet light and other fairly straight forward purification measures. The bulk of our agricultural irrigation water and the remainder of our drinking water comes from Aberdeen Plateau sources via Duteau Creek. This is very expensive to make potable for two reasons. One, it flows through farm lands and hence is subject to pollution from farm animals and runoff from farm fields on a year-round basis. Second, winter melt along the course of the creek coupled with overflow spillage from the Aberdeen dams make it quite muddy and murky during spring runoff. Turbid water needs to be cleared up before chlorine and ultra violet light treatments can be used; otherwise, they are not effective. This soaks up lots of tax dollars, hence the $23 million or so we taxpayers coughed up for the Duteau Creek water treatment plant. Now we are being asked to pay to have the water filtered before it leaves the plant. Why not just get extra drinking water from Kal Lake and just use the Duteau Creek system for irrigation? It still would
EFLEC TIONS EFLECTIONS
After listening to the presentation, and having my concerns addressed, I was satisfied that this is a good plan. It is, as the presenting engineer stated, “not a Cadillac, but a Toyota." However, I am no expert. Don’t take my word for it or the word of any other armchair water expert. Find out for yourself. I urge all of you as voters to get the facts and have your questions answered. Information can be found at rdno. ca/water and questions can be directed to engineering@rdno. ca or by phoning 250-550-3700. Since the forum, I have talked with several candidates. I know some of them believe that this is a good and responsible long-term water plan for our communities. So why the unanimous show of hands to defeat the referendum? Do they believe that a no vote will force the provincial government to commit to share the financing? Our politicians have had two years to negotiate for funding and now with nothing but a no they want the voters to sort this out? This is not good enough. Stop playing politics with our water and do your job. Work together to provide us with the safe and reliable water system that we need. I am voting yes for the referendum and I will tell you why. Currently, our cable TV bill is more than our water bill. I’ve done the math and our household can afford the increase as proposed. And the best way to make us change our habits is to make us pay. I know water conservation will finally become a reality in our household and that is a good thing. Mo McColl
not be cheap. We taxpayers would be on the hook to pay for the needed separation of our drinking water from water used for irrigation and for bigger pumps from Kal Lake and what have you. But, our ongoing treatment costs would be a lot less and we would not need to raise the Aberdeen dams especially if we brought back online water from the Antwerp Springs wells that not so long ago served 3,000 customers. They were shut down because of contamination by cow manure on fields coupled with substandard run-off protection. Whooee! Does that get you an earful if you raise it, but the fact is that we lost the court case and I never did get a believable explanation why the wells were not reactivated. Of course, our water gurus are all for having a state-of-the-art water treatment plant that lets them turn water from a source more appropriate for agricultural irrigation into something potable. I can appreciate them taking pride in that, but, I ain't gonna pay for it unless a majority of voters forces me to do so. Continuing to make water from a nonsuitable source potable makes no sense to me, neither does filtering water that is used primarily used for agricultural purposes.

Residents in a Vernon neighbourhood are furious after fines were issued for using a popular path. A Canadian National Railway police officer handed out $115 tickets to people walking along a path about 10 metres from the track near Browne Road Wednesday. “It was a dreadful surprise for a lot of people,” said resident Enora Moon. “One woman was in tears because

she wasn’t sure how she would pay it.” Moon says the path has been around longer than the 15 years she has lived in the area. “It’s used by people as a way to go into town and there are a lot of dog walkers,” she said, adding that a sign states the crossing is to be used at your own risk. “The sign doesn’t say stay out or don’t use the path.” CN officials are defending their actions. “Trespassing remains the leading cause of rail-related fatalities in Canada, and those who walk along our tracks are putting themselves and others at risk of fatality or injuries,” said Jim Feeny, director of CN public affairs. “Our police force take that matter very seriously and try to use education first, but enforcement is also a tool at their disposal to ensure that people are safe and stay away from railway property.

This is up significantly over last year and is a sign that business in Vernon is picking up.” Most of the businesses surveyed were small businesses, with just under 80 per cent employing 10 people or fewer. “Respondents said the biggest challenge they faced was parking (53.7 per cent), lack of customers or finding employees,” said Poole. Business owners and managers said the labour support programs and assistance with succession planning would be valuable resources for the business community.

Farm Friends helps those affected by mental illness and substance abuse issues through gardening and handson activities. The program is located at Patchwork Farms at Okanagan College’s Vernon campus. “The Farm Friends program ensures participants and their families get support they need, while they develop and gain new skills gardening, build new relationships with teammates, and have fun outdoors,” said Foster.

Mayor’s duties wrapping up RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Rob Sawatzky’s official duties as Vernon mayor are winding down. Sawatzky presided over his final regular council meeting Monday prior to Saturday’s election and a new mayor being sworn into office Dec. 1. “I want to thank you for your dedication to the community,” Sawatzky told members of current council. Sawatzky, who is retiring from office, also spoke highly Rob Sawatzky of the city’s staff. “You are incredibly professional and dedicated,” he said. A number of council members praised Sawatzky for his three-year term as mayor. “You were a good leader and you tied us together and made sure there was very little dissension at this table,” said Coun. Catherine Lord. Sawatzky still has a few duties left, including chairing a special council meeting Nov. 17 at 9 a.m. and representing the city at the Regional District of North Okanagan board meeting Nov. 19. Running for mayor Saturday are economist Victor Cumming, college recruiter Jamie Morrow, businessperson Akbal Mund, current councillor Mary-Jo O’Keefe and former councillor Klaus Tribes.

Make-Up
Cherryville backed by Vernon council RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The largest community in the North Okanagan has joined Cherryville’s ongoing fight against a logging road. The City of Vernon will write a letter of support for Cherryville which is concerned B.C. Timber Sales’ plans for a road and ultimate logging on Cherry Ridge could cause landslides. “The community there is asking for a delay on road construction because they are concerned about slides and Cunningham the impact on the community,” said Juliette Cunningham, a Vernon councillor. Cunningham believes BCTS, a provincial agency, should listen to the residents of Cherryville and address the concerns. “We want to provide a united voice,” she said of the letter. BCTS officials have insisted that proper soil and hydrological assessments have been done and there is no risk of a slide impacting residents in the valley bottom. Lone opposition to Vernon’s letter of support came from Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe. “It’s completely out of our jurisdiction,” said O’Keefe, adding that Vernon council’s decision was only based on information from Cherryville residents. “Considerable work has been done by the province and the contractor. We should have a report from the province (to consider) before we take a stand,” she said.
Nail Polish
Deodorant
Every day millions of women slap on body moisturizer, apply lipstick or mascara without a second thought about what they are putting on their skin. A study from the UK claims that the average woman applies more than 500 chemicals to her body every day during her beauty routine.
Why should you be concerned?
Chemicals such as parabens (a synthetic preservative in everything from toothpaste to shampoo) and phthalates (a class of chemicals that are found in many “fragranced” beauty products such as lotions, perfumes and deodorants) are classified as xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens mimic our natural estrogens creating hormone chaos by increasing the total amount of estrogen, resulting in a condition called estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance has been implicated in many conditions including: breast and prostate cancer, obesity, infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, early onset puberty, hormonal acne and PMS.
Xeno-Detox Every Day
EstroSense is a comprehensive liver detoxifier that gently supports the elimination of harmful environmental toxins and helps to bring back hormone synergy. Along with other key ingredients, EstroSense contains milk thistle which is one of the most researched herbs when it comes to liver detoxification and liver cell regeneration. Curcumin, indole-3-carbinol, sulforaphane, calcium-d-glucarate, green tea extract, lycopene and rosemary extract are all very effective for supporting healthy hormone balance. So starting now, read labels and stay informed, check out The Environmental Working Group website www. ewg.org as well as Campaign for Safe Cosmetics www. safecosmetics.org for more information about how you can protect yourself. Add EstroSense® with Milk Thistle Extract to your daily routine!

Crime Stoppers raising funds ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
They’re real and they’re legit. North Okanagan Shuswap Crime Stoppers Society has again teamed up with Four Elements Consulting to promote a coupon booklet aimed at raising funds for the Crime Stoppers’ organization. “We hire this group to go door-to-door in the region to sell the coupon booklet,” said society coordinator Gord Molendyk. “The funds raised by this campaign go a long way to keep our program running throughout the year.” Gord Molendyk The door-to-door sales people will have identification and will be wearing a yellow jacket with a Crime Stoppers logo on one side and their company logo on the other side. The marketers will be canvassing the entire North Okanagan Shuswap Crime Stoppers coverage region, from Vernon to Sicamous. The coupon booklet includes almost $700 in savings for such organizations as the Vernon Vipers and Salmon Arm Silverbacks hockey clubs, Eagle River Golf Course in Sicamous, Greater Vernon Recreation Services and Ready-Set-Go River Rafting out of Clearwater. Funds raised from the campaign, which is expected to last for a couple of months, allows the Crime Stoppers program to continue toward making the region a safer place to live, work and play. “As we receive no funding support from any government agencies or police departments, we rely on campaigns like this to raise the funds to operate our program from year to year,” said Molendyk. Each Crime Stoppers board is an independent operation and must continue to raise funds to meet expenses like paying out rewards for tips, day-today operations and ongoing awareness initatives. Last year’s coupon booklet campaign raised nearly $9,000 for the North Okanagan Shuswap Crime Stoppers Society, which has just completed its 21st year of operation.

Some transit riders in Coldstream could be in for a little shelter from the elements. Coldstream and BC Transit are looking into installing two shelters at the busiest and most prominent locations: on College Way (east of Highway 6) and on Kalamalka Road (outside Cenotaph Park). “The installation of bus shelters at these two locations will provide riders a reprieve from the weather conditions during their wait and may assist with increasing ridership, especially on more inclement days,” said Michael Baker, Coldstream’s director of infrastructure services. The district can apply for provincial funding to offset the cost of a standardized shelter, which would then only cost the district 53.3 per cent of the shelter purchase. Two of the options of shelters being looked at carry costs of $9,778 and $11,357. Coldstream is responsible for upkeep and maintenance of the shelters.

News Council amends budget bylaw ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Sometimes, stuff happens. The City of Armstrong has given three readings to a bylaw amendment that will adjust the already approved 2014-2018 budget. “We have a five-year budget in place but, things come up every year which fall outside of the approved budget,” said Coun. John Trainor, chairperson of the city’s finance committee. Five suggested changes have been recommended to the five-year budget with three of them dealing with the city John Trainor needing to upgrade its computer network. The city plans to increase the capital budget this year from $15,000 to $41,000 for the computer network replacement. The additional $26,000 would be funded from shortterm borrowing. The original $15,000 would be funded from Ryan Nitchie general revenue. Debt servicing for the computer network would include a small amount this year, and principal payments of $6,500 per year from 2015-2018. An extra $21,000 would be required beginning in 2015 to cover the cost of the network maintenance, data backup and storage, e-mail, software and web hosting. Funding for both issues would come from general revenue. A total of $2,300 in unfunded centennial expenses have shown up this year. It’s recommended by city staff that funding come from a budget variance for council indemnities. “A vacant seat on council has created some cost savings,” said chief financial officer Terry Martens, referring to Ryan Nitchie stepping down in the summer to pursue employment opportunities in Salmon Arm. The Pleasant Valley Road watermain project was deferred to 2015 due to all tenders coming in over budget for the project. Staff recommends the project be included for 2015 so tenders can be issued early in the new year. It is also suggested that the scope of the project be expanded to include a full asphalt overlay. Estimated total cost of the expanded project would be $316,000 with funding coming from road and water reserves. Council unanimously approved the three readings.

Royals collect Okanagan crown Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Christian Royals claimed their second straight Okanagan Valley Senior A Boys Volleyball League title Saturday in Clearwater. Chris Bannick’s Royals advance to the provincial playdowns, Nov. 20-22, at Abbotsford Christian. The Royals swept the Kelowna Christian Knights 3-0 (25-21, 25-16, 25-19) in the final with outside hitter Caleb Haberstock posting six kills while middle attackers Tim Bartel and Jacob Molitwenik contributed five kills apiece. Captain Cole Kitagawa chipped in with three kills from the left side in the late stages of the match. Setter Colton Doesburg led a balanced attack all weekend, and along with Bartel, led the defence with three blocks. “This was a complete team effort with many players coming in off the bench and playing effectively,” said Bannick. “The boys have really displayed a tenacious defensive work ethic and, combined with various attack options, have developed their determination to win.” The Royals grounded the Clearwater Raiders 25-13, 25-12 and rallied late in sets to brush back the Knights 26-24, 25-17 in pool play. Down 19-24 in the first set, Tom Wolgram rang up two straight aces and served the rest of the set
for the victory.
Fulton held off the George Elliot Coyotes of Winfield 25-22, 25-23 in the semis after icing Kelowna Christian 25-19, 25-19 in the quarters. In pool play, the Maroons swept the South Okanagan Hornets of Oliver 25-16, 25-11, Princess Margaret 25-23, 25-17 and Springvalley Spartans of Kelowna 25-9, 25-12.
Sonic girls first
The Seaton Sonics open the Valley Junior Girls Championships today in Penticton (3:15 p.m.) against the Princess Margaret Mustangs. Rich Haldane’s Sonics, who went undefeated in the North Zone playoffs, face the Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops and Kelowna Owls in other preliminary matches tonight. There are four berths up for grabs in the provincials, Nov. 21-22, in Delta. Seaton swept Salmon Arm and VSS in two straight games to take the North Zone title. “We have a terrific group of dedicated girls that are great players and great people off the court,” said Haldane, a rookie coach who received expert help from his brother, Jason, a one-time Canadian Olympian captain and pro, and former NCAA player Lori Moger. “We (athletic booster club made up of parents) are really trying to help turn around the Seaton sports program and build some school pride,” said Haldane.

The VSS Grade 8 girls clipped Fulton 25-16, 25-23 in Monday night’s final of the South Division playdowns at the Panther Pit. Fantastic serving by Maggie Vandeleest, Brienna Condie and Bree Vanderleest boosted VSS in the final. Digging balls were Jaide Vanderleest and Alyssa Carter, while Kelsey Falk and Mason Jurisson were strong at the net. “It was an all around team effort,” said coach Pam Condie. “They came out in the last game of the night playing to win. I am so proud of these girls.” The first-place Cats had a bye into the semifinals where they won the third match 15-7 over the Kalamalka Lakers. Kal’s Madi Fox provided some hard serves, while Panther powerhouse Condie cranked a major kill in the first match. Jordan Kaempf and Kelsey Carrier served some big aces for VSS.
Schamerhorn blanks Sprucies for first BCHL shutout Morning Star Staff
Jarrod Schamerhorn wasn’t expected to be the starting netminder for the Vernon Vipers coming into the B.C. Hockey League season. However, two separate injuries and a sixgame suspension to incumbent net detective Danny Todosychuk have left the 19-year-old Kelowna native carrying the load. The 20-year-old Todosychuk was supposed to start Wednesday night against the Prince George Spruce Kings at the Coliseum, but he got run over by a teammate in a pregame skate. In stepped Schamerhorn, who recorded 23 saves for his first career BCHL shutout in 30 games as Vernon blanked the Sprucies 3-0 in front of 1,000 fans. “It was kind of shocking to me,” said
Vipers’ head coach Mark Ferner, when he realized Wednesday was Schamerhorn’s first shutout. One thing that didn’t surprise Ferner was Schamerhorn’s ability to fill the starter’s role. “That was never a question in my eyes,” he added. The Vipers, now 11-6-1-1, entertain the Penticton Vees (17-3-0-1) tonight at Kal Tire Place. Penticton lost its last two games of a Vancouver Island road swing last weekend. The Victoria Grizzlies (8-6-0-3) visit the Big Wheel Sunday at 2 p.m. Schamerhorn wasn’t all that busy Wednesday as Vernon controlled most of the play, especially in the second period when they outshot the Sprucies 19-6, and 39-23

overall. “The kids played hard, they played simple,” said Ferner. “In the offensive zone they played a good puck possession game and the dee moved the puck well. Our guys are starting to support the puck a lot better.” Vernon recorded their first two goals on the rush, with TJ Dumonceaux converting a feed from Anthony Latina 11:26 into period one. Luke Shiplo, who has nine points in his last nine games, fired his first of the season as he buried a top-shelf backhander, assisted by Jagger Williamson, in the second frame. The 19-year-old d-man from Oakville, Ont. was named first star and is really starting to become an offensive threat on Vernon’s
back end. “It took him awhile with the broken hand (suffered in camp), especially when you’re a new player,” said Ferner. “Obviously, he’s feeling a lot more comfortable.” Shiplo drew an assist on Liam Finlay’s insurance goal late in the third period when the speedy forward pounced on Shiplo’s rebound with 2:59 to play. SNAKE BITES: Forward Thomas Aldworth missed the Prince George trip to deal with a minor injury. The Kellen, Tex. product is expected to play tonight...Injured forward Mackenzie Bauer isn’t expected to return until mid-December...Energy forward Riley Brandt earned two minors in his return from a six-game suspension.

Magnums through to final Knights snap
eight-game skid
Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Magnums will battle the West Kelowna Redblacks for the Southern Interior Football Conference Junior Bantam title Sunday in Kelowna. The Magnums thumped the Kelowna Mission Lions 38-6 in semifinal action Sunday at Grahame Park. Logan Higgs ripped through the Lions’ defence with 240 total yards and three touchdowns. He scored once on the rush, another on a reception from Ethan Anderson and a great block by Trey Winstanley, and he ran back an interception 45 yards for the other. Higgs added three tackles. Zack Smith, Riley Macgillivray and Charles Lemay also put balls in the end zone for Vernon while racking up about 300 yards rushing between them. On defence, Lemay made four tackles, Thomas Hyett produced six outstanding hits, and Winstanley had three tackles, forced a fumble and recovered a fumble. Other notable defenders were Carson Harrower, Carson Hamming, Devin Hofsink and Ethan Schiman. Isaiah Ondrik supplied some great short kicks that led to four Magnum kickoff recoveries. In Pee Wee play, the Peters Tirecraft Magnums bowed 38-22 to the Salmon Arm Colts on a cold, windy day at Hillside Stadium in Kamloops. Vernon fell behind 14-0 early in the first quarter, but rallied to take a 16-14 lead into the second quarter. Salmon Arm responded with two quick touchdowns and took a 26-16 lead at halftime. The Pee Wee Magnums had a successful year and ended the season at 5-3.

Boise, Idaho stuffed Vernon 7-1 with MVP Porter Trevelyan scoring for the Vipers from Ronac Chauhan and Hansen. The Sladen Moore Atom/Pee Wee Laker Lakers girls went winless in four games at the Kamloops Female Pee Wee Tournament. Mario Richard’s Lakers faced a huge challenge playing against teams made up of all Pee Wee players but they never quit. Kamloops shut out Vernon 3-0 with MVP going to Jaya Chauhan and the Sportsmanship award to Robyn Alexis. Kelowna stopped Vernon 13-0 with Abby Lawlor gaining MVP and goalie Katrina Winstanley and Mackenzie Miller sharing Sportsmanship honours. In Game 3, the Sladen Moore girls bowed 11-0 to Langley.

They busted the slump, but the North Okanagan Knights know there is work to be done if they are to climb out of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League cellar. The Knights snapped an eight-game skid by doubling the host 100 Mile House Wranglers 4-2 in front of 500 boisterous fans Tuesday night. “It was a great atmosphere up there,” said Zach Andrusiak, who led the 3-16-1-2 Knights with two goals and an assist. “They have a very nice rink and get great crowds. “It is a bit of a relief to getting off a losing streak, but we know the work’s not done.” Andrusiak (4th goal), who grew up in Yorkton, Sask. before moving to Armstrong three years ago, opened the scoring on a feed from Jordan Passmore from behind the net with 7:40 to play in period one. Matt Halvorson (1st goal), with a post-and-in point shot on a powerplay early in the second frame, extended North Okanagan’s lead. Logan Geefs then worked the puck back to d-man Trent Redschlag, who beat Quinn Ferris for his first of the season midway through the period. The Wranglers (10-8-0-2) buried goals just over a minute apart by Tate Page and Austin Turner, on a man advantage, to cut the lead to one. Andrusiak fired an empty netter with 15 seconds to play. “It gives us some more confidence and shows us what we can do when we’re on our game and playing our best,” said Andrusiak, who was reassigned to North Okanagan from the WHL Tri-City Americans. Mitch Profeit recorded 36 saves to earn the Knights’ game star. Ferris made 20 stops for 100 Mile House. The Knights visit the Columbia Valley Rockies (3-14-0-4), losers of seven straight, tonight in Invermere before taking on the host Golden Rockies (10-10-0-2) Saturday.

With a $10,000 purse, Jim Cotter is pretty sure the 14th annual Rick Cotter Memorial Curling Classic is the biggest junior cashpiel on the planet. “We did some searching around and nothing is close,” said Jim, Rick’s son. “It’s bigger than some World Curling Tour events.” Rick started the event in 1999 and ran it out of the McArthur Island Curling Club in Kamloops until 2005, when he died of cancer. The club carried on the tradition until last year, and now Jim has taken over and moved it to the Vernon Curling Club. The 20-team (12 boys, eight girls) event starts tonight at 4:30, with a second draw at 7:30. Action continues Saturday morning at 9:30, with other draws at 12:30, 3:30 and 7:30. The championship games go at 1:30 p.m. Sunday. “It’s an awesome field,” said Jim, noting there are team from as far away as Japan and the Northwest Territories competing. “We’ve been getting tons of messages from the teams coming and they’re all excited. “The committee’s done a great job pulling it all together.” Local rinks competing include Brendan Cliff, Matt Schiman and Thomas Love on the boys side, and Claire Schmidt for the girls. Vernon’s Sydney Hofer is competing with Team Daniels.
The draw also features 2013 Canada champion Corryn Brown of Kamloops, as well as both Team B.C. entries for the upcoming Canada Winter Games in Prince George. The winner claims $2,000, runners-up pocket $1,600 with third and fourth place earning $800 and $600 respectively. Jim said part of the reason his father started the event was to give junior curlers the experience of playing in a high-pressure playdown. “To have the tops teams play against each other and put a few dollars in their pockets – that was his primary focus,” said Jim. “There’s a lot of value in playing your competition. “Everyone will walk away with something.” On the boys side, teams are grouped into three pools, with the top six records, including shootout, going to the main money round. The other six play in second bracket with $50 per win. The girls will play a triple knockout format, followed by a playoff round. Admission is free, but spectators are encouraged to donate cash or nonperishable food items for the Vernon food bank. Cotter thanked sponsors Prestige Hotels, Vernon Kia, Sun FM, North Enderby Timber, Baron Insurance, Knifeless Tech Systems.

The Nedco Fellas lost 2-0 to the host Richmond Seafair Islanders in Sunday’s final of a 12-team Midget Rec hockey tournament. The shortstaffed Fellas, who lost Jene Desjarlais to illness after one period, competed hard before tiring. “Give Richmond credit, they saw our short bench and wore us down,” said Nedco head coach Darren Zupp. “We couldn’t generate much offence and they did a great job of playing smart hockey. As coaches (Dallas Zupp, Ryan Beach, Daryl Brodoway and Brent Magnus) we are very proud of our team the way they battled all weekend.” Eighth shooter Lee Brodoway went forehand-backhand to beat goalie Bryce Dyck as the Fellas edged the Talon Benefits Snakes 4-3 in a semifinal shootout. Jim Brodoway, Sam Eggert and Lee Brodoway also scored for the Fellas, while Chase Larsen (2) and Braeden Doak replied for the Snakes, whose MVP was d-man Jeff Hiscoe. Dyck and Ethan Huizinga of the Fellas were both spectacular in the overtime. Nedco earlier clipped the Kamloops Lions 3-2, iced Saanich Braves 4-0 and shut out the Lumby Stars 2-0. Dan Desjarlais, with his first of the year, Eggert and Nicholas Poirier supplied goals against Kamloops with Huizinga and Jared Larsen combining for the win. Eggert was game MVP. Jene Desjarlais was all over the ice with 3+1 for game MVP versus Saanich. Brett Lambert also scored, while Poirier and Brooke Toop had two assists each. Huizinga and Larsen shared the shut-out. Poirier, assisted by Eggert and Cole Martin, had the winner against the Stars. Jene Desjarlais, assisted by Brett Lambert, on a slick give-and-go, provided insurance. Larsen (MVP) and Ethan Huizinga split the shutout. Hedley Larsen’s Snakes, meanwhile, got four goals from Jeremy Pogue as they opened the tourney by outlasting Seafair 7-6. Nikolai Negraiff (2) and Tim Ufimtseff competed the offence, while d-man Riley Johnson took MVP. The Snakes then fell 4-3 to Penticton before stopping

Fill bags with clothes for fundraiser Rona in Vernon is collecting clothes for diabetes fundraiser Morning Star Staff
With more than nine million Canadians living with diabetes or pre-diabetes, chances are, most Canadians know someone living with the disease. From coast to coast, November is proclaimed Diabetes Awareness Month with local events and clothing drive activities, including in
Vernon. Starting on World Diabetes Day today, Rona hosts the Fill the Bagster Clothing Drive until Tuesday. Donors are encouraged to bring donations of gentlyused clothing, jackets, shoes, linens, household items and small appliances to Rona at 2201 58th Ave. in Vernon. “Awareness and funds will support the vital work of the Canadian Diabetes Association so Clothesline can continue to help the Canadian Diabetes Association lead the
fight against diabetes by helping people with diabetes live a healthy life while they work to find a cure,” states a press release. Ongoing advocacy successes have provided improved care of Canadians living with diabetes both provincially and federally. In addition to these efforts, the Association operates 12 camps, serving 1,600 children with type-1 diabetes and their families across Canada each summer. n 49 bags donated funds a

Karaoke night boosts club Morning Star Staff
A love of song has local Filipinos raising funds in support and thanks to their community. The Club Filipino of Okanagan-Shuswap is hosting a karaoke night fundraiser Nov. 22 from 5 to 10 p.m. at St. James School in Vernon. “Our intention for this fundraising event is to show our appreciation and gratitude to everyone who supported us last year during the bake sale for Typhoon Haiyan,” said Maylene Ramis, fundraising chairperson with the club. Due to the great support received from the community, Club Filipino of Okanagan-Shuswap was able to contribute to rebuilding lives and homes in Tacloban City, Philippines. “Proceeds from this event will go back to the community through our Christmas project where we give a Christmas hamper to deserving and less fortunate families and also through our Feed the Homeless program early next year,” said Ramis. Tickets to the event are $15 each and can be purchased by contacting Maylene 250-307-6721 or Henrietta 250-550-5248. “Filipinos love to sing and karaoke is one of the ways we entertain during birthday parties or gettogethers,” said Ramis. “We would love to share this love for music and singing to our community and we are hoping that people will join us for this event.” There will be door prizes, freebies, concessions and a photo booth at the family-friendly event. “Make it a date night, ladies’ night, guys’ night or a family night out,” said Ramis.

Luke Lafferty, 10, takes part in a race between periods at a Vernon Vipers game at Kal Tire Place.
The Okanagan Basin Water Board is now accepting applications to its 2015 water conservation and quality improvement grant program. The program, in its ninth year, has $300,000 available for projects that conserve water in the Okanagan or improve its quality. Eligible recipients include non-profit community groups, local governments (regional districts or municipalities), and irrigation or improvement districts. Successful applicants can receive up to $30,000 for their project. The grants are distributed according to the percentage of tax each region pays into the program. This year, there is $56,850 available to the North Okanagan. Last year, OBWB conducted a review of all previous grants and created a new grant database at www.obwb.ca/wcqi_project/. “The projects were organized into 18 categories from drought planning to xeriscape,” said project manager James Littley, adding that there are eight categories for special consideration during this grant cycle. These include drought planning, groundwater, irrigation, metering, restoration, source protection, water system improvement (quantity and quality), and water flow monitoring. But the OBWB encourages applications in all conservation and quality improvement categories. This year’s grant application deadline is 4 p.m. Feb. 6, 2015. The complete program guide and application forms can be found at www.obwb.ca/ wcqi.

SUPPORT WATER REFERENDUM Last Wednesday I voted yes in the borrowing referendum on the Master
Water Plan. Like most people, I don’t like the prospect of water rates increasing. I do believe however that these improvements are necessary, with all elements leading to significant benefits to all users of the water system both now and well into the future. Raising the dam on our upland water storage will provide much needed supply security during periods of drought and may give the added benefit of some flood buffering for communities downstream of Duteau creek, specifically our neighbours in Lumby. The new pump station and water licence on Okanagan Lake to supply raw water to the agricultural water reservoir at Goose Lake will mean water from the Duteau source, treated to drinking water standards, will no longer be used to provide agricultural customers in west Swan Lake and Bella Vista. This drinking water will then become available for use by domestic customers The system separation and domestic distribution improvements will further reduce the use of highly treated water for agricultural purposes. This water will be needed by domestic customers as our community grows. This element of the plan is particularly important for the economic development of Greater Vernon and the surrounding communities. The over-sizing of the irrigation main line allows for further separation of agricultural water in the future, again, a very important element of the plan to secure more water for domestic use. The final piece of the Master Water Plan, the addition of a filtration plant at the Duteau source, will bring us in line with the latest Canadian and Provincial drinking water standards, a goal already achieved by many communities across our province and across the country. Do we really want to be on the low end of this spectrum? While Greater Vernon Water is asking for voter assent to borrow the funds necessary to finance this plan, all efforts are being made to access grants from both federal and provincial sources. It is also worth noting that borrowing costs are at a historic low. Borrowing now spreads the costs of completing these improvements over 20 to 25 years ensuring that the costs are borne by those currently using the system as well as those using it over a long period of time. Funding improvements with higher increases to rates or short term borrowing results in current users funding benefits which will be received by future system users who won’t bear these same costs.
Higher water rates are unpalatable but the improvements contained in the Master Water Plan are necessary and now is the time to do them. As a final observation, the claim that our rates are the highest in the province are false. At worst, we are in the mid range of rates within the Okanagan Valley. Therefore, even factoring in the expenditures associated with this referendum, our water rates will still be in the mid range of rates in the Okanagan. Remember, other communities are being required to meet these same water Bob Fleming quality standards! I voted yes. I hope Electoral Area “B” Director the majority of ratepayers in the Greater RDNO Vernon Water Service Area do the same.
Investigations explained
W
hy do fire investigations when you are only going to say the cause cannot be determined?” was a question I was asked just recently. A fair enough question I guess, especially when a good many fire causes are in fact classified as undetermined. The answer really needs to begin with an explanation of why a fire department does fire investigations in the first place. In B.C. the Fire Services Act requires municipalities to investigate in a general way the cause of fires within their boundaries and that task is usually assigned to the fire department. The phrase, “in a general way,” makes the task seem less onerous. However, it is very misleading and a Lawrie Skolrood recipe for trouble if it is followed literally because everyone these days expects answers and preferably the correct ones. When I say everyone, I mean owners, occupants, neighbours, the media, local government, the general public, insurance companies, utilities, and the police to name just a few. As well, today’s issues of affixing blame and the recovery of money complicated with the threat of litigation further demand that thorough investigations are done in order to correctly answer the question of, “What caused the fire.” You are either all in or you are all out when it comes to the fire investigation business. Unfortunately, a big problem with fire investigation is that sometimes the evidence that will definitively determine a cause is missing. Lack of evidence allows speculation and suspicion to come to the forefront and can misdirect the truth regarding what really happened! The true irony of the situation is that you have to go through a thorough fire investigation process in order determine that the cause of the fire can’t be determined. Interestingly enough, you might even find all the evidence you need to prove your theory but simply can’t find any evidence to disprove the possibility of other causes. Due to the impact of today’s necessity to find blame and the consequences affixed to it, fire investigations must be done properly and be 100 per cent accurate. Anything less generally has to fall into that cannot be determined category. There just can’t be a possibly or might have outcome. Time provides another challenge when it comes

to fire investigations. Securing a scene has become more difficult and expensive. Along with the pressure of getting back to normal in order to have a place to live or do business, the need for performing time effective fire investigations has become paramount. The trouble is that each fire tends to offer its own unique puzzle as to how it started ranging from the obvious to the complex. In more complicated fire situations, product research, site safety, weather, lab results and expert reports are just some of the realities of a fire investigation that can delay things considerably. The time required to complete any fire investigation is simply the time it takes to find the answers that are needed to determine the cause of the fire. In today’s world, the real problem comes as a result of time equating to money and a situation quickly changing from how important to how costly. This can ultimately lead to a cause becoming undetermined just through the lack of resources and the financial ability to go forward. All that being said, I cannot help but remember a story told to me by another fire investigator regarding an experience he had in court. He told me that he was reprimanded by a judge who was unsatisfied with his explanation as to the lack of a conclusion in a fire case. The judge sternly informed him that, “There is no excuse for not completing a fire investigation!” Somewhat embarrassed, he left court that day quite convinced that the judge’s intent was to send him a strong message emphasizing that as a fire investigator, he was obligated to pursue the necessary answers until he obtained them or at the very least he was able to defend the fact that there were no answers to be found. So in summary for all of those people wondering and my inquisitive colleague, sometimes there is just no way of knowing for sure. However, there is still an obligation to do everything you can to find the correct answer, even if one does not exist. The fact that the cause of a fire cannot be determined is not the easy way out. It comes as a result of exhausting the possibilities of proving what indeed did happen! The significance being, that although it might not necessarily be a satisfactory end, it is certainly a realistic end that is based on fact.

uring the 2011 election, our Conservative government made a promise to bring more tax relief to Canadians through income splitting after we balanced the budget. Well, as Prime Minister Stephen Harper stated recently, “Our government is fulfilling its promise to balance the federal budget. We are now in a position to fulfill our promise to help Canadian families balance their’s.” The family tax cut, a federal tax credit, will allow a higherincome spouse to transfer up to $50,000 of their taxable income to a spouse in a lower tax bracket. The credit will provide tax relief — capped at $2,000, and is exclusively for couples with children under the age of eighteen effective for the 2014 tax year. Secondly, your government is increasing the universal child care benefit for children under the age of six. As of Jan. 1, 2015, parents will receive a benefit of $160 per month for each child, up from the current $100. This will be a

Bassoonist knows a few things about strings Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
Québec musician Mathieu Lussier could be considered a renaissance man or a master juggler. In his one hand is the elongated double -reed woodwind instrument known as the bassoon. In the other is a baton, which he uses to conduct one of Canada’s most preeminent string ensembles, Les Violons du Roy. Then there is a pen, which the 41 year old uses to compose works primarily for the bassoon. About to lead Les Violons du Roy to Vernon Tuesday, Lussier says it may be unusual for a bassoonist to direct a string ensemble, but for him it’s old hand. He has been the bassoon player for Les Violons since 1998 and before that played for several years with Orchestre Baroque de Montréal, which trained him to play the bassoon with string instruments. “It helped in imitating their bowings, shaping the lines the same way, so even though I am not a string player, I have a good idea of the sound I want to have,” said Lussier. Not the only bassoonist to take up the baton (Lussier counts French baroque conductor Marc Minkovski, as well as Canadians Jesse Read and Richard Hoenich as colleagues), Lussier first started conducting in 2008 and was first invited to conduct Les Violons du Roy in 2012, under the direction of the group’s founder Bernard Labadie. Soon after, he became the orchestra’s conductor in residence and this past summer, his title changed to associate conductor. Since then, his time has been shared between conducting and playing. “It is challenging but also really important to me to be able to do both,” said Lussier. “Playing in the group, producing sound and energy together, aiming all for a same goal, is a thrilling sensation. Initiating it, shaping it, sculpting it is just magic: two very different sensations but they are linked.” As for his other talent, Lussier calls composing a sideline. “I do it for fun, or when I get commissions. I write two-to-three pieces a year. I like to vary my activities but performing/conducting is really the core, the centre of what I do.” Lussier’s conducting style is not to be overly directive. He likes to explain what he wants and ask for input rather than impose a solution that might not be the best one for the group. “The best results are achieved when everyone is in the mood to give their best,” he said. With Les Violons du Roy, Lussier and the players continue to explore the baroque repertoire as well as music from the late-18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Despite the fact the orchestra does not wear the wigs or costumes

Quebec string orchestra Les Violons du Roy, conducted by Mathieu Lussier, left, performs in Vernon Tuesday as part of the North Okanagan Community Concert Association’s Kaleidoscope Gala. of the day, Lussier says the feeling instilled by the music –love, despair, passion– continues to engage the imagination. “There is a sense of eternity, of grandeur, in that music and somehow, it is something we, secretly or not, all aspire to,” he said. “Baroque music was meant to be received immediately, with a lot of impact, contrast, moods – no need to have previous preparation. Baroque means contrast, bizarre even, so I think today audiences still respond to this.” This season has been a busy one for the orchestra. Members just came back from Europe, where they toured with French pianist Alexandre Tharaud and British conductor Jonathan Cohen. “It was a blast despite the very challenging schedule,” said Lussier, adding the orchestra played five back-to-back concerts for a total of 10. “In a way, this tour has also prepared us well for this coming one since we will do two stretches of four concerts in a row. We normally don’t do that much without a break.” This wasn’t Les Violons first visit to Europe this year. In January, they reunited with mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kozena, whom they have worked with three times prior, and per-
formed with the Berlin Philharmonic. “(Kozena) throws herself in the music at the moment she sings and this is very inspiring coming from such an established artist,” said Lussier. “Having (Berlin Philharmonic’s artistic director) Sir Simon Rattle in the audience as well as members of this fantastic orchestra, getting applause after the minuet of a Haydn symphony, was some kind of a reconnaissance, like being for one night at the top of the world.” After their current tour of western Canada, Les Violons will perform Messiah, a signature work of founder Labadie, with Trevor Pinnock. “We are looking forward to this. We will also welcome several new guest conductors this season, Raphaël Pichon, Jean-Christophe Spinosi and Reinhard Goebel. We also have a great tour in the U.S. in March with fantastic pianist Marc-André Hamelin, with works by Haydn and Mozart. I will have the opportunity to conduct this tour as well,” said Lussier. Some of that music has made its way to Les Violons’ prolific recordings – 29 to date – including three released just this past year. “The European tour we did was a continu-
ation of the Alexandre Tharaud CD and the March U.S. tour will be linked to the Hyperion release with Hamelin,” said Lussier. For this tour, the orchestra is performing without a big wind section, mainly for financial and logistical reasons, and will perform music from the romantic period, with horn soloist Louis-Philippe Marsolais, of the Orchestre Métropolitain du Grand Montréal, playing Haydn and Schumann. The 15 string players will perform Mendelssohn’s String Symphony in B minor and Schubert’s Death and the Maiden. “It’s a new arrangement I made, more appropriate to the kind of ensemble we are,” said Lussier. “Romantic music is very close to the musician’s heart. It is a beautiful program and I am sure the audience will feel how much passion and care for details we put in this music.” Les Violons du Roy’s Tuesday performance at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre starts at 7:30 p.m. It is part of the North Okanagan Community Concert Association’s annual gala. Formal wear is optional. Tickets are available ($35 for adults and $17.50 for students) at the Ticket Seller, 549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.

Arts Life’s highway brings Tom Cochrane back to Vernon Morning Star Staff
To quote the title of one of the songs on his feverishly anticipated new record, Tom Cochrane is now “back in the game.” About to embark on a Canadian tour with his band Red Rider, Cochrane will be at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Feb. 23. Last seen in Vernon 12 years ago, when he performed at the multiplex (now Kal Tire Place), the Canadian rock icon has never stopped creating or performing, even though he hasn’t released an album of new material since 2006’s No Stranger. That all changes with his new album Take it Home, to be released via Universal Music Feb. 10. It reveals Cochrane is still at the top of his game, exploring new lyrical
and sonic terrain while remaining grounded in the values that have made him one of Canada’s most beloved rock ’n rollers. “I see this record as a real retrospective on the essence of the troubadour. From the bands of the middle Tom Cochrane ages into the blues guys like Leadbelly and Lightnin’ Hopkins into Woody Guthrie, who inspired Dylan and Lightfoot, as well as artists who inspired another generation. Look at Dylan and Willie Nelson, staying on the tour bus, moving to the next
city to play for people. It’s like the boy inside the man, they’re going back to their youth. To me, some of the songs on this new record explore that,” he said. Cochrane is already thinking about which of his new tunes from Take it Home will best fit a set list already challenged by the amount of great material from which he can draw. “I wanted to make sure there’s at least three or four songs off the album that’ll stand the test of time and we can pull off live, either to make people tap their feet and dance or have ones that hit home,” he said. In a career which has now spanned more than 40 years, Cochrane is an Order of Canada recipient and Canadian Music Hall of Fame

A dark and electrifying novel about addiction, fanaticism, and what might exist on the other side of life. In a small New England town, over half a century ago, a shadow falls over a small boy playing with his toy soldiers. Jamie Morton looks up to see a striking man, the new minister. Charles Jacobs, along with his beautiful wife, will transform the local church. The men and boys are all a bit in love with Mrs. Jacobs; the women and girls feel the same about Reverend Jacobs — including Jamie’s mother and beloved sister, Claire. With Jamie, the Reverend shares a deeper bond based on a secret obsession. When tragedy strikes the Jacobs family, this charismatic preacher curses God, mocks all religious belief, and is banished from the shocked town. Jamie meets Charles Jacobs again, with profound consequences for both men. Their bond becomes a pact beyond even the Devil’s devising, and Jamie discovers that revival has many meanings.

Local musicians to reflect on CCR Morning Star Staff
For those born on the bayou or know what a bad moon rising is, the upcoming concert Reflections of CCR will bring all those memories flooding back, and should bring a few new fans along the way. A number of Okanagan-Interior musicians are coming together to pay ode to Creedence Clearwater Revival at the Vernon Army Navy Airforce Hangar Nov. 21. “The show is a celebration of the music of CCR. Sing along, dance all night, take a stroll down memory lane. You are not going to want to miss this concert,” said singer Sabrina Weeks of award-winning blues band Swing Cat Bounce. Joining Weeks to perform classic CCR tunes are Steve Soucy, Kelly Spencer of the Matadors, Marie Jackson of the Henry Small Band, Mike Hilliard of Swing Cat Bounce and Vernon’s own powerhouse singers Kath Raeber and Tanya Lipscomb. “All these amazing vocalists will be backed by the Reflections band: Ed Hilliard, Terry Strudwick, Kelly Spencer and Mike Hilliard,” said Weeks. “The night will be filled with all your favourite Creedence Clearwater Revival songs.” Tickets are available at the Bean Scene in Vernon, or online at www.sabrinaweeks.com/ buy_tickets_reflections_ of_ccr/#Vernon. Doors to the show at the ANAF hall (2500 46th Ave.) open at 7 p.m. and the show begins at 8 p.m.

Vernon Ski Club hosts latest Warren Miller film Morning Star Staff
The world’s leading winter sports film producer, Warren Miller Entertainment has announced its highlyanticipated 65th film, No Turning Back. Hosted by the Vernon Ski Club, the film will be shown at the Vernon Towne Cinema Thursday at 6 and 9 p.m. This new installment in WME’s annual film tradition examines the heritage that has continued to document the cutting edge of winter sports, from early alpine racing to today’s freestyle park skiing and big mountain exploration. This year, Ingrid Backstrom, Tyler Ceccanti, Seth Morrison, Julian Carr and more world-class athletes push forward into the unknown on
Mount Olympus in Greece, in the depths of Japan, on the peaks of the Swiss Alps, on the side of Montana mountains and elsewhere. “This year, we’ve traveled to some of the most exotic locations around the globe in search of the biggest mountains, and the deepest powder,” said producer Josh Haskins. “As we continue to capture the progression of winter sports, we also pay respect to the pioneers who have paved the way over the years since Warren first picked up a camera 65 years ago.” This year’s film is once again complimented with a high-energy soundtrack delivered on a state-of-the-art digital sound system. Doors to Thursday’s
screenings open at 5:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. for the second show. Preshow tickets are on sale through all Vernon ski and snowboard shops: Attridge, Olympia, Sport Chek and Sun Valley as well as at the Bean Scene and the Towne Cinema. Tickets
may be purchased at the door, however space is limited. All attendees will receive a free Snoworld Canada Magazine along with special offers when they arrive. Everyone attending the film will be entered into the Canadian
Tour Sweepstakes draw and the World Tour Sweepstakes draw for a chance to win a one week Sun Peaks ski vacation, a Helly Hansen shopping spree, a Momentum summer ski camp in Whistler, a set of four Toyo Tires, Swany gloves and more.

Members of the Vernon Public Art Gallery are exposing themselves once again - through their art. The VPAG’s annual members’ exhibition Exposed! focuses on creating exhibition opportunities for gallery members and contains both two and three-dimensional works of art of modest sizes. “We want to say thank you to our members for the support they provide us throughout the year and this exhibition is our chance to do that,” said VPAG executive director Dauna Kennedy Grant. The ambiguous title Exposed! is open to interpretation. Artists are free to use the medium of their choice for their artwork, which adds a variety of pieces to the show. The exhibition is also a fundraiser for the gallery. All the art is available for purchase and pro-

reasonable and a great opportunity for art lovers to own or gift an original piece of art,” said Kennedy Grant. Those attending the show can also vote for their favourite piece. “A Gallery Shop gift certificate will be awarded to the recipient of the People’s Choice award as voted by gallery visitors,” said Kennedy Grant. Those wanting first pick of the art can attend the opening reception for Exposed! Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. The evening will include music, art, food, as well as libation and is open to all ages. The show closes Dec. 22 and artwork that has been purchased is available for pick up Dec. 24 until 4 p.m. For more information, contact the gallery at 250-545-3173 or visit www.vernonpublicartgallery.com.

Pink Floyd: The Endless River
E
nglish classic rock band Pink Floyd’s 15th album The Endless River is a tribute to late founding member/keyboardist Richard Wright. The instrumental album is a tribute in more ways than one, and it’s supposedly the last from what now constitutes the Floyd. The Endless River is a curious release. The tracks are from sessions done around the time of The Division Bell, recorded 20 years
Street SoundS
Dean Gordon-Smith
ago and largely feature Wright’s moody keyboard washes and guitarist David Gilmour’s bluesy leads. The album plays like a lengthy soundtrack with thoughtful moods and flights of fancy. This isn’t a departure as the Floyd
acquired a rep early on for embarking on exploratory space jams during concerts. Sonically, the band mainly references three time periods in their past during these atmospheric sessions. Clearly falling back into their own musical language and shared vocabulary, they evoke sounds from Live at Pompeii (Skins), Wish You Were Here (It’s What We Do) and The Wall (Allons Y [1]). So in a sense it’s also the sound of the band moving through its own back catalogue
while jamming. As with all of the band’s post Roger Waters’ work, it has a calm atmosphere without the heavy drama that Waters summoned up. The instrumental context is fitting for this keyboard-based album and the zonedout ambiance allows for open-ended interpretation – if you’re not in a Floyd- induced trance. But the majesty and hints of faded glory are intact as they should be, considering Pink Floyd’s history of casualty, loss and disaffection.

Cherryville farm is ready to buzz cara Brady Morning Star Staff
Cherryville residents are known for their creativity and for caring about the world around them. Erin Foggoa has already appreciated bees and what they do in her garden and the valley and now she’s dedicating herself to helping at least some of the world’s dwindling bee population survive. “A friend got into bees and I was fascinated. I learned about how they live and work and how they are threatened in so many places and I wanted to do something. We’re proud of our non-GMO valley and I thought this would be a great place for bees. Anyone can have bees and its easy to learn how to take care of them,” she said. Foggoa and her husband Sam Warning started Ville Billy Bees on their Cherryville farm as a way to protect bees and make their products available. While keeping bees is an ancient practice, they are looking to fund their project by crowdsourcing through Kickstarter, a way to let people make small investments in young entrepreneur businesses and share in the success according to what they put in. Contributions of any amount, starting at $2, are welcome. Foggoa has set a goal of $4,000 for supplies and nucs, the starter families of bees, for spring. So far, $1,500 has been raised. She and Warning, with five-year-old daughter Molly, have been learning all they can about bees. “I had a lot of misconceptions about bees. They are much more calm than I thought. And they work incredibly hard and mean so much to agriculture. We have to make sure they survive,” she said. The plan is for the business to produce honey, candles, soap, mead and honey wines using local produce.
One of Erin Foggoa’s designs for a bee mansion, an unusual bee hive that is also garden art. “The best surprise of all this is the support from the local community. Our ideal business model will involve the talents and skills of community members,” said Foggoa. Over the winter, while the bees are living quietly on some of the honey they made over the summer, Warning will be busy in his shop building hives on traditional plans, brightly painted with designs by Foggoa, a graphic artist. They have also designed bee mansions, with more ornate exteriors for people who would like to keep bees in their garden and have the hive be a piece of garden art. “There’s no excuse not to have bees. We all have to do what we can for them because of what they do for us,” said Foggoa, who is actually allergic to bee stings herself. She is taking desensitization treatment. People might also know Foggoa as Lucy

Cherryville residents Foggoa and her husband Sam Warning are crowdsourcing through Kickstarter to get their bee farm and bee-based products business, Ville Billy Bees, started. Deadline to take part is Saturday. Dynamite and her graphic design business Black Sheep SK8. For more information about Ville Billy Bees and to support the new business, see

Letting go again
L
ast month I moved my daughter to London, U.K. For her and I, child and parent, the event marks one more step in letting go. For me alone, the event is a sober reminder that while the majority of my life belongs to the past; the bulk of hers belongs to the future. In London, when we stood for our goodbyes, my daughter was an iridr. April sanders descent helium-filled balloon in my grasp, but then, I opened my hand and released the string. I watched and admired the balloon, soaring on invisible updrafts ever further away, but the wonder was laced with the sorrow of letting go of something so beautiful and precious.
second opinion
When I look back on life, it is neither accomplishments nor career that has most given me purpose, fulfillment or joy; it is parenting with my husband. We have raised two children and given them to the world as independent adults. They are more than I ever expected, a gift that I am thankful for everyday. As much as I want to keep them in my orbit, I realize that they belong to the future and not to me. When I left London with its diversity, opportunities, youth and culture I knew it would energize my daughter’s soul in a way that small-town Canada could not. She was born to live in such a city and I wondered if she would ever return. Parenting is an ancient dance, one where we start out holding children close, but as time goes by we swing them further and further away to dance on their own.
We hope the future provides the opportunity for more close dancing, but must live with the fact that many children will find their own rhythm, one we cannot follow, knowing neither the music nor the steps. We call these children independent and should be proud, but deep down in a secret place, we wish we could have them dance to our tune. Relinquishing control is never easy but it is our job. My daughter dances to a music I cannot hear, a dance of her own. My final act is to bear witness and I undertake my responsibility with great pride. I will be there to catch her if she falls, as I know that this is an integral part of learning to dance alone. I watch her soar into the future and I feel joy recognizing that through her dance, part of me resides in the future as well.
Foot, Heel or Hip Pain? Plantar Fasciitis? Why Evolution is a no brainer. The probability of the chance formation of the smallest, simplest form of living organism known one of 10 to the 340 millionth power; or “1” followed by 340,000,000 zeroes. These odds against even the simplest life evolving were infinitely more than 1 X 1050 making them impossible. The conclusion from this means that there have been too few physical events even to produce one simple organism.

Where the spirit, soul, and body is made whole through Jesus Christ
Three Vernon dance couples have brought home the gold from the Rocky Mountain DanceSport Grand Prix in Calgary last month. Ballroom and Latin dance couples Myles Ferryman and Marijke van de Water, Mark Warbinek and Destanne Norris and Ed Stranks and Colleen Duff represented Vernon’s City Dance studio at their first event. “The weekend included amateur competition levels from newcomer through gold as well as championship, and offered the sold-out audience a glimpse of high quality dancing and amazing shows by top-notch dancers from throughout the world,” said Heather Stranks, instructor and co-owner of City Dance. Total medal count for the Vernon group was seven gold medals, four silver and six bronze. As well, the Vernon contingent also participated in the filming of a segment for the Rick Mercer Report, showcasing ballroom dancing in Canada, and to be shown in an upcoming episode on CBC TV. Anyone interested in becoming part of the studio’s competitive ballroom and Latin classes for adults, youth or children can contact City Dance at 250-307-4955 or citydanceok.com

His need, her distaste
ear Annie: I am a married woman in my early 60s. My husband and I have been married for 35 years. We get along fine most of the time. He is a good man and a good provider. He can be opinionated at times, but he loves his family and friends. The problem is his constant need for sex. During our early years, I went along with it, but he would want sex at the most inconvenient times, like when I was all made up, dressed and Kathy mitchell /marcy sugar ready for work. He has a high sex drive, and I do not. After years of trying to satisfy him, I am at the age where sex is neither important nor enjoyable. Sometimes, it is downright uncomfortable. I do it occasionally, for his benefit, but I really don’t like to. I do love my husband and show him in other ways. How can I tell him that I don’t enjoy this part of marriage anymore without hurting his sense of manhood? — Trying To Build a Better Life in the Midwest Dear Trying: You are never going to convince your husband that sex is something he ought to do without. Part of that involves his sex drive, but we suspect another part is a need to control. Still, if you love him and want to remain married, we

THE OLDEST WARRIOR In honor and remembrance of one who fought to bring freedom and peace to earth and giving his life for his fellow men. He took our shame and disgrace. His death was more from the physical pain He felt when He died on the cross, but He died of a broken heart, from the weight of our sins. It was his love for us that purchased OUR eternal destiny. Let us remember Yahshua (Jesus) today, our dear Savior who offers freedom from sin and death.

hope you will try to accommodate him on occasion, in which case, please talk to your doctor about how you can make sex more comfortable. You also can take your husband with you to the doctor so he can better understand what you are going through, and then reach an accommodation that is acceptable to both of you. Withholding sex because you (and only you) are no longer interested can damage your marriage, making your husband unhappy and depressed or, worse, making him feel justified in looking for someone else to fill the void. Dear Annie: Is it OK to plug your cellphone into an outlet at a restaurant, grocery, department store, bar, apartment building hallway, etc.? I work in a restaurant, and people are constantly unplugging lights and other electrical appliances in order to charge their phones. They don’t bother to ask permission before moving tables or to ask what they are disconnecting. Should owners add a “charging fee” to those who want to use their electricity? What is the proper way to handle these inconsiderate thieves? — Mrs. Watts Dear Mrs. Watts: Most establishments don’t mind if you plug into any available outlet, although it is always polite to ask first. But disconnecting lights or other appliances is not acceptable unless expressly given permission to do so. As for a “charging fee,” owners must decide whether asking patrons to cover any increase in the electric bill is worth losing customers and creating ill will. Dear Annie: Y It is with disgust that I feel the need to respond to “Disappointed,” who is in support of individuals blowing their noses at the dinner table. I realize she’s climbing on the “medical excuse train” in order to offset accountability for grossing out her dinner companions, yet I found her reasons to be selfishly juvenile at best. I, too, have a medical condition — colitis. Does that justify continuous flatulence at the dinner table? Get over yourself, honey. If you feel the need to blow your nose, excuse yourself. If you blow constantly, politely decline any dinner invitations until you schedule an appointment with an allergist and an ENT. — Blow It Out Your Ear E-mail your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net.

Horoscope BY EUGENIA LAST
YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY Hard work, dedication and determination will be required if you are going to reach your goals. This year can be a turning point if you ready yourself for the events that are about to unfold. You will have the ability to pull things together and do whatever is asked of you.
Crossword Puzzle
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Your mental agility will be at an all-time high. Your ability to communicate with others and articulate your ideas will be noticed. Pursue your professional goals. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Your need for excitement and adventure will be satisfied if you travel or get involved in forwardthinking groups. New places and ideas will prove very stimulating, and will inspire a change in your professional direction. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You may be forced to deal with the affairs of your elders. If you haven’t left yourself enough time, your partner may be disgruntled. Somehow, you must find balance. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Tension will cause confrontations with your mate. Get the trouble out in the open and have a frank, air-clearing discussion. Secret activities could damage your reputation. Be forewarned. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) One-sided romantic connections will only lead you astray. Keep your thoughts to yourself. This is not the time to rock the boat. Respect the politics that surround you at work. ARIES (March 21-April 19) It’s a good day to take trips that will provide you with adventure and cultural knowledge. Social gatherings will open doors to love connections. Now is the time to make a positive move.
Previous Solution
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your refusal to listen to advice given by friends or relatives could be your downfall. Try to see your situation in terms of possibilities rather than limitations. Remain open. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Friends may be unhappy if you allow a new love to monopolize your time. Try to maintain balance in your
life. Don’t be too eager to get involved in joint financial ventures. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Heated arguments with loved ones may lead to changes in your home. Drastic reactions toward others will be detrimental. Keep your feelings to yourself. Be careful to whom you lend money.

To our friends and neighbors on Mackie Drive. Thanks for all the good memories over the past 18 years. Carol & Grant
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your dramatic approach to emotional matters may alienate you from the ones you love. Adopt a more practical outlook with less melodrama. Be clear about your role in the situation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Problems will surface if you have to deal with institutions. Put off meetings with your superiors until a more suitable time. Focus on detail and satisfying your needs first. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You can make major improvements if you set your mind to it. Someone you live with appears to be confused. Your ability to see situations from all sides and your need for balance and fairness should help.
Hormones Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

Hard driven to deflate tire By Rob Rothwell
The rush of air escaping a tire is not a sound one hopes to hear deep in the outback. According to a tire industry study, 84 percent of tire failures incurred off-road are due to sidewall puncture, often rendering tires irreparable. BF Goodrich has done something about this deflating fact. High in Canada’s rugged Rocky Mountains is where they chose to launch their revised KO line of all-terrain tires. Termed “KO2,” the new boots bring forth many improvements to a tire already considered by many in the off-roading community to be the benchmark. That reputation was earned through a longstanding commitment to off-road racing and motorsports – winning the Baja 1000 more than all other tire manufacturers combined – and its advances in tire technology since introducing the first all-terrain tire back in 1976. The tire manufacturer claims that the KO2 sidewall is 20 percent stronger than the original KO tire, and incorporates an advanced deflection system designed to prevent protruding objects, such as pointy branches, from snagging and splitting the sidewall. A handful of crusty auto journalists, more used to testing cars rather than tires, ventured to Lake Louise in the Rockies to put the tires through a reality test. BF Goodrich supplied a series of off-road exercises in which we pushed the limits of the KO2s, all of which were 20-inch 55-series tires shod upon new Chevrolet Silverado 4X4 pickups. It’s important to note that these weren’t extra-large off-road tires, they were typical replacements. The highway portion of our drive delivered a pleasant surprise; the KO2s produced much less road noise than expected given their heavy lug-based tread pattern. While likely not as quiet as the original-equipment tires on Chevy’s latest Silverado, their whine was modest and unobtrusive. Forty minutes after departing the majesty of Lake Louise and its aqua-blue waters, we exited Banff National Park and headed for private testing lands. Moving from tarmac, we encountered just about every conceivable surface one might face during an off-road excursion. Despite my best effort to burrow the KO2s deep into a mud pit, the putty-like ooze never overwhelmed them. With a little throttle prodding, the tires managed to clear away the earthen oatmeal, finding footing enough to pull 5,500 pounds of truck out of the quagmire with ease. Other testing locales included a rock crawl, steep ascents/ descents, and a log pit with sharp upward-pointing knots. The latter reputed for inflicting sudden death on typical trail tires. Sidewalls are vulnerable, and the weakest part of a typical tire. A truck was parked atop a pointy knot. Despite the pointy knot digging into the sidewall with extreme pressure, the tire never succumbed to the silent killer in the bush. Our day in the Rockies saw 20 Silverados – in other words 80 KO2s – performing exercise after exercise with zero failures. No flats and no stuck trucks. rrothwell@telus.net

Shorter days and longer nights means anyone heading to the back roads should ensure they have good lights.

good ground on the chassis of the vehicle. Anywhere on the frame or other metal structure of the vehicle will normally produce a decent ground. Run a section of wire from the switch output to the switched power input on the relay. Again, this will be marked or identified on the directions that came with your relay. Run the last wire from the relay positive out position to the lights and connect it to the positive feed on the lights. Ground the lights by attaching the black or ground
wire to the frame or other ground on the truck. HID lights have become more popular with off-roaders these days. Installation is a little more work. But the principles remain the same. Be sure to follow the instructions provided in the kit. HID stands for High intensity discharge which refers to a new technology that relies on an electrical charge to light the xenon gas contained in a sealed bulb. Unlike the halogen bulb, the HID bulb does not have a

With the nights getting longer and the dark grey days ahead, anybody venturing out to do a little four wheeling will tell you good off-road lighting is a must. Make sure you only operate them off-road. Good quality wiring of a set of off-road lights is important when installing them on your truck, SUV or 4x4. Simply running a power and ground may work but is not the correct way to wire them. Most off-road lights draw a lot of power when switching them on, and this load should never be applied directly to the switch. Using a relay for the switching duties will save your switch and lights as well as make for a safer installation. Relays are easy to install and some lights come with them, but if not, you can pick up a relay from your local auto parts store. Install a switch in the cab of your truck in a location that is convenient for you to reach, or tap into the high-beam circuit of the headlights to power the relay. Mount the relay inside the cab, under the dash or other location out of the way and out of the elements. Run a wire from the battery or other positive source to the switch. This is the positive feed to switch the relay on. You will also need to run a ground wire to the switch from the frame or other ground then run a positive feed wire from the battery to the positive in position on the relay. There will be four connectors on the relay, a positive, a negative, a positive out and a positive in from the battery. Read the packaging or directions to determine which is which. Find the ground position on the relay and run a wire from it to a
filament, because there is no filament the bulbs are not susceptible to vehicle vibration damaged. There are however effected by and fluctuations in the vehicles electrical system and depending on the vehicle they may require some resistors. The HID bulb creates light by bridging an arc between two electrodes, instead of heating a filament. This light is similar to the energy transfer when lightning strikes. The arc stimulates the xenon gases producing bright white beam of light. The next wave of off-road lighting technology is LED. Rigid is a leader in this technology. Low amperage and superior light projecting forward is why most off-road racers are switch to this type of light. Check them out at www.rigidindustries.com. ian.harwood @drivewaybc.ca

Five undesirable collectors with exploding values By Rob Sass
The classic car world is possibly one of the most opinionated collecting pursuits known to man, and nearly everyone seems to have an opinion on relative values and desirability. Each car on the list has at one time or another been deemed by “experts” to be hopeless as a collectible and each has one thing in common—they’ve skyrocketed in value. 1. 1956-58 Studebaker Golden Hawk: Poor Studebaker, the cars of the ill-fated favorite son of South Bend, Ind., never
1979 BMW M1.
Chevrolet Corvair Convertible. cars. This past January, a not terribly well optioned car sold at an auction in Scottsdale, Ariz., for more than $100,000. Let’s hear it for the underdog. 2. 1965-69 Corvair convertible: The air-cooled rear-engine Corvair is perhaps the ultimate automotive underdog. The hatchet job
1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk (photo courtesy of Greg Gjerdingen). seemed to get the same love from collectors as the cars of the Big Three. But they may be getting the last laugh. At a time when the prices of most American cars of the 1950s have been flat,
the Golden Hawkhas 1976 Porsche 912E. been red-hot. With great looks and some look at Hawks, where the of the best and sportiest car’s small by American interiors of American cars standards proportions make of the era, even European more sense. Ten years collectors have taken a new ago, these were $25,000

that Ralph Nader did on the first generation of the car tainted even the vastly improved second-generation Corvair. In truth, it was a fantastic car, with great looks and even an optional turbocharger. Jay Leno loves his. Yet, historically, they’ve appealed to a narrow market—fans of front-engine Chevy muscle shun the car as do import snobs, to whom the car’s size, looks and handling should appeal. Collectors were fond of saying that Corvairs would always be cheap. How wrong they were. Nice convertibles struggled to break $15,000 less than 10 years ago; they’ve since doubled in value. 3. 1979-80 BMW M1: The M1 was BMW’s first foray into the mid-engine exotic world. Just over 450 were built. With a little development help early on from Lamborghini and some inspiration from an earlier Paul Braq-designed concept car, BMW produced a credible supercar and the first officially badged M-car that spawned a long line of special Motorsports BMWs. Back in the flamboyant 1970s, though, the car was deemed too low-key inside and out. But its subtle good looks have aged extremely well. As recently as 2003, an M1 sold for just $49,000 at an auction in the UK. Three years later, they were still going for well under $100,000. This past March, one sold at an auction in Florida for $379,000. 4. 1976 Porsche 912E: Porsche has always struggled with the entry-level stuff. They know that they should have an entry-level car, but they’ve often either fumbled the execution and/or suffered a backlash from the Porsche snobs. The 912E was a one-yearonly stop-gap effort that
held down the down-market fort after the end of 914 while the front-engine, water-cooled 924 was readied for the U.S. It was essentially a stripper 911 with a VW Transporter-derived 2.0-liter Type IV air-cooled four-cylinder engine. On the surface, a sports car with a bus engine sounds like a bad idea, but it was actually the same engine from the outgoing 914, and if you could get past the sound, it was quite pleasant with tons of lowend torque. Just under 2,100 were made (all were sold in the U.S.), and while in the past it has been derided by supposed Porsche experts as “perennially undesirable,” the 912E’s mid-’70s vintage 911 looks and easy serviceability have made them quite desirable today. I personally paid $6,500 for a nice one in 2005. The same car would be worth $20,000 today. A New York dealer has recently advertised one for just under $40,000. 5. 1955-63 Mercedes-Benz 190SL: The 190SL has lived forever in the shadow of its bigger, sportier and more powerful sibling the 300SL. And while they’re outwardly a bit similar, they’re in a whole different league performance-wise. The 190SL used to be dismissed as “a German Thunderbird,” or a car whose looks wrote a check that its performance couldn’t cash. But as 300SLs rose to over $1 million, collectors began to accept the 190SL for what is was—a very well-built and pretty sunny day cruiser. Cars that traded for under $50,000 just a few years ago can now bring a quarter of a million dollars. Rob Sass is the vice-president of content for Hagerty Insurance.

Bridge by Phillip Alder TELL PARTNER OR TELL YOURSELF? David Sedaris, a humorist, comedian, writer and radio contributor, said, “Writing gives you the illusion of control, and then you realize it’s just an illusion, that people are going to bring their own stuff into it.” In bridge articles, the author hopes to cover all of the possibilities, but occasionally something will be overlooked, or there will be insufficient space to mention everything. Then the columnist will receive emails from readers who spot the error or omission. However, players at the table make more mistakes, because they have limited time for analysis. Even then,
finding the guilty party might not be easy. In today’s deal, who was responsible for letting four spades make? West led the club ace, and East dropped the nine, starting a high-low with his doubleton. West cashed the club king and continued with the club queen, on which East discarded the diamond three. Now, though, West shifted to a heart. South won with his ace, played a spade to dummy’s ace, overtook the spade queen with his king, drew the rest of East’s trumps and ran the hearts to eliminate his diamond loser. East pointed out that he had pitched his higher diamond spot, asking for a switch to that suit. West replied that the three did not look high. Why hadn’t East thrown the heart
six? West would have known that was low because East had to have higher hearts available. With whom do you agree? West’s comments were accurate as far as they went. But East had a much better play. He should have ruffed the club queen at trick three and cashed his diamond ace.
