Mission appeals for community help RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
It takes a community to serve a meal. Businesses are being sought to provide meals in the Upper Room Mission after a broken pipe caused water damage in the mission Monday night. “We are still looking for community support,” said Lisa Anderson, spokesperson. It will take six to eight weeks to repair all of the damage in the mission. A number of businesses Lisa Anderson have rallied to provide breakfast, lunch and dinner since the flood and more are needed. “The phone has been ringing off the hook with support,” said Anderson.
Because the Interior Health Authority has closed down the URM kitchen, breakfast (9 a.m.), lunch (noon) and dinner (4 p.m.) will be served at the People Place. Those in attendance can use the back stairwell to access food services. Those with mobility issues can use the front entrance/elevator. The Upper Room Mission will open its washroom facilities during meals. The People Place is committed to providing the temporary location until the Upper Room Mission has access to its kitchen for meals. Ensuring service isn’t interrupted is critical as URM serves about 300 meals a day to seniors, the disabled, the homeless and working people facing financial challenges. “Our clients are offering to help (with flood clean-up) and they are thankful for the businesses that have come forward,” said Anderson.

“We are relying on the community to help feed our clients. The response has been overwhelming.” All of the food in the mission was contaminated by the water so cash donations are being sought so food can be purchased once the mission reopens. Food donations are not being accepted. “We are looking for financial support because there is no place to store food donations,” said Anderson. A trust account has been set up at VantageOne Credit Union, and donations can be made at any VantageOne Branch. The account number is 943555. Year-end tax receipts will be issued. URM staff have been working with their insurance company as restoration work proceeds. For more information or to donate, call 250549-1231 local 29 or e-mail lisa.anderson@vernonurm.org.

Investigators are trying to determine what led to the death of a truck driver in Spallumcheen. A 50-year-old Kamloops man was releasing the straps on a load of posts at Rapid-Span Structures on Industrial Drive when part of the load shifted and fell on him at about 1:20 p.m. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the driver’s family and with our employees who were around the scene,” said Gene Reimer, coowner of Rapid Span, which constructs bridges. The driver, who worked for Kamloopsbased Valley Roadways, was rushed to Vernon Jubilee Hospital, where he died from his injuries. WorkSafeBC prevention and investigations officers were on site by 3 p.m. Wednesday. However, because the trucking company’s status is considered inter-provincial, the investigation now falls under the federal government’s mandate. Labour Canada investigators were expected on scene Thursday. The incident is also under investigation by the RCMP and the coroner’s service.

Food drive fills up area food bank shelves ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan’s generosity has filled up area food bank shelves. The 37th annual Realtors Food Drive was held in Vernon, Coldstream, Armstrong and Enderby on a chilly Wednesday evening. In Vernon, 29,234 pounds of food was collected, filling 52 apple bins. “It went very well,” said Vernon organizer Dawn Taylor of Re/Max. “We had more than 450 volunteers out there, members of financial institutions, realtors, friends of realtors, North Okanagan childhood educators. “It was a little chilly, but we were all running, and we all kept warm, we dressed for the occassion. Everything flowed quite smoothly.” Students Without Borders, members of Junior Chamber International (JCI) and Salvation Army church members were also on hand Wednesday night to unload trucks and put the food inside the Salvation Army. On Thursday morning, close to 15 volunteers were on hand helping sort through the much-needed food items. Prior to the food drive, the Salvation Army’s shelves were low to the point the church was purchasing stock items like peanut butter, powdered milk and tomato products. Those items were being sought in Wednesday’s food drive along with rice, pasta, canned meat and fish, canned fruit and vegetables, beans, flour, sugar, cereal, jam, oatmeal and canned milk. “The community has come to our support again in filling our shelves,” said David MacBain, community ministries director for the Salvation Army. “The total raised is very similar to last year and brings us to a comfortable place, and more will come in.” If a residential area was missed Wednesday, Taylor said to call any real estate office and a realtor will come pick up the donations, or simply drop off the food at the Salvation Army. “We are so appreciative of the community’s participation, and the help of realtors and their elves,” smiled MacBain. “It’s vital to have the continued support we are looking for to provide for those in need in our community.” In Enderby, 2,886 pounds of food was collected, along with $282 in cash donations. Organizer Colin Fothergill of Century 21 was overjoyed with the turnout of volunteers and by the community’s gracious donations. “I want to thank the realtors, BMO, Enderby and District Credit Union along with the community,” said Fothergill. “Normally

Fortune Secondary School helping, along with the school’s principal, Gene Doray, who not only collected food but came and helped out with refreshments after. “The people really turned out to help because the need (for food) is there.” In Armstrong, the final tally of food collected was not available Thursday, but the organization that administers the food bank was thrilled. “It went extremely well,” said Jack Whelpley, area director for the North Okanagan for the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club. “We are very impressed with the generosity people have shown, along with the hard work of the realtors and their assistants. “The food is desperately needed and all
the food received will fill our Christmas hampers and shelves to help us carry on for the rest of the year.” n The Salvation Army in Vernon announced it will have a first-ever Christmas Depot this year. Due to space restrictions at its House of Hope, the Salvation Army will give out its Christmas hampers and gifts Dec. 17 and 18 in the former Far West building, on Kosmina Road off Highway 6. The building is half-a-block from a Vernon Transit stop. “We have called all who were interviewed before the Christmas Depot was confirmed, but we want to make sure all know to go to the former Far West,” said MacBain. Volunteers are needed to help with the hampers, as well as to be ‘taxi drivers’ to help families home with their food and gifts. Call
549-4111 for details. Salvation Army kettle volunteers are still needed as well. Call Tatiyanna at 250-3077770 if you can volunteer some time.

Crash injures motorist Morning Star Staff
Public assistance is being sought after a motor vehicle accident in Vernon. At about 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, RCMP officers responded to a report of a two-vehicle motor vehicle accident at 39th Avenue and Alexis Park Drive. “When our officers arrived, they found a blue Jeep, and a Hyundai that had been involved in the crash,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “The driver of the Hyundai was still in her car while the driver of the

Jeep ran from the scene.” The 44-year-old woman in the Hyundai was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital with serious injuries. She was transferred to Vancouver General Hospital Thursday. “The driver of the Jeep, a man believed to be in his 20s, ran from the scene and has not been located at this time,” said Molendyk before The Morning Star deadline. Anyone with information about the driver is asked to call the Vernon RCMP. “It is very likely that he was injured in this crash as well,” said Molendyk.

Council moving ahead RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The faces are the same, but Coldstream’s mayor insists governance isn’t sitting still. Mayor Jim Garlick and five incumbent councillors were sworn in to a four-year term Monday, as was Glen Taylor, who is returning to council after the Nov. 15 election. “It’s still exciting times,” said Garlick, who is launching his third term as mayor. “We are moving ahead on projects that have been talked about for years.” Among them are possibly a new museum and art gallery for Greater Vernon, as well as an ongoing focus on infrastructure upgrades in Coldstream. There will also be a focus on water after voters shot down borrowing $70 million for a master water plan.

DISTRICT OF COLDSTREAM PHOTO
Mayor Jim Garlick (left) is sworn in to office by Judge Al Betton during Coldstream’s inaugural council meeting Monday. Garlick believes the structure of council has prevented political divisions from occurring. “We’ve had good consensus on issues with the committee of the whole meetings,” he said. “We can have longer discussions and get consensus instead of going straight to council and hammering something out.” Taylor takes over
from Maria Besso, who didn’t seek re-election. “Glen has been involved with some of the issues before but there are some gaps (since he was off council) so we hope to bring him up to speed,” said Garlick. “Maria played a huge role so one person leaving and one arriving may bring new opinions.” For 2015, Coun.
Doug Dirk has been reappointed as Coldstream’s representative to the Regional District of North Okanagan board of directors. “Doug has been around the regional district and has a real interest in how it’s managed,” said Garlick. “With his years of experience, I’d be foolish to remove him.” Garlick and Coun. Gyula Kiss will once again sit at the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee. “If Gyula has a strong opinion on water, it would be crazy for me to remove him from there,” said Garlick of why changes in appointments weren’t made. “If you don’t have those opinions at the table, you have to deal with it in another form.” Kiss will also attend Okanagan Regional Library. The other members on Coldstream council are Pat Cochrane, Richard Enns and Peter McClean.

Mayor embraces new term ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Janice Brown calls it a privilege to serve her constituents in Spallumcheen as mayor. Brown kicked off her second term as mayor Monday with five incumbent councillors and one newcomer serving the township for the next four years. “I am privileged to have such a good committed council,” said Brown during her address. “I thank everyone for putJanice Brown ting their names in to run for this new four-year term. Your commitment and contribution is very much appreciated.” All were sworn in to their roles by Corey Paiement, the chief administrative officer for the township. Christine LeMaire joins council, filling the seat
vacated by Rachael Ganson, who did not seek reelection Nov. 15. “I’d like to welcome Christine to council,” said Brown. “I’m sure you will jump right in and learn from us all.” Brown, elected as mayor in 2011, believes the latest campaign was successful because her group put people ahead of politics. “We believed that our citizens were engaged when going door-to-door and I was grateful for their honest,y” she said. “People are the roots of a community and, thankfully, those roots are already in the ground allowing us to continue on all the projects we have started, along with new challenges we will face.” Brown said her council will create “the highest, grandest vision.” “We will set ambitious goals, set clear expectations and be courageous with tough decisions,” she vowed. “Then we will let every step move us in the right direction.”
Accident sends three to VJH Morning Star Staff
Three people were sent to hospital after a head-on collision near Lumby Wednesday. The RCMP, firefighters and paramedics were called to Highway 6, one kilometre west of Lumby, at about 7:45 a.m. after
two vehicles collided. “Three people were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “One person did sustain rib fractures and because of their age, it could be serious.”
All of the individuals involved in the accident were from Lumby. “The incident closed the highway for a short period of time,” said Molendyk. Both vehicles sustained significant damage and the incident remains under investigation.

Adieu to a legend
nless they’ve been living on Mars, most Canadians are aware that hockey legend Jean Béliveau has gone on to that great rink in the sky. When the Habs great died Tuesday, the tributes came pouring in for the man who led the Montreal Canadiens to 10 Stanley Cups. My own introduction to the man they called Le Gros Bill came around the same time he retired from hockey in 1971, and it had nothing to do with our favourite national pastime. It was because he was spokesperson for the Bank of Nova Scotia (now Scotiabank) and its savings accounts for kids. The account had a Katherine Mortimer hockey theme and as a member you automatically earned a subscription to the Hockey College News magazine. By all accounts a gentleman and all-around nice guy besides being a great hockey player, Béliveau was depicted in photographs, in the magazine and I think even a life-size cutout, but that might just be my nostalgic imagination working overtime. This was also around the time my obsession with hockey began. Just as I was saving up my weekly allowance and, eventually, babysitting money, I was learning a little something about the game of hockey. I didn’t come from a hockey family. My dad — and his three kids — grew up in Vancouver, and we didn’t grow up playing shinny on an outdoor rink. My sister and I took figure skating lessons and spent weekends at the rec centre rink, but neither my dad nor my brother played the game. But when the Vancouver Canucks joined the NHL in the 1970s, hockey fever began to heat up in a town where you were lucky if just once in your childhood the temperatures dropped enough for ponds and lakes to freeze and allow for safe skating.
AT RANDOM
And I was lucky enough to enjoy many of those games in the first decade of the modern-day Canucks, which first got its start in 1945 as a member of the Pacific Coast Hockey League. My best friend, Shelly, came from a hockey-mad family; they had season tickets to the Canucks and I was lucky enough to tag along on more than one occasion. I still have the program from the time the Canucks played the Philadelphia Flyers captained by my favourite player, Bobby Clarke. And around this same time, as my bank account was slowly increasing in size, a Canadian oil company came up with what was the holy grail for kids crazy about hockey. If memory serves, they were called the Esso Hockey Power Player Trader Cards. When your parents filled up the family station wagon at Esso, you were given a pack of these six cards — more like large stamps — and inside would be a random selection of NHL Power Players. And they came with a small vinyl wallet in which to store them. But the real fun was in hoping you could pick up your favourite player, and the schoolyard trading during recess was fierce. I remember trading a more coveted player, such as Paul Henderson or Bobby Orr, for one of Keith Magnuson, who played for the Chicago Blackhawks. No disrespect to the late defenceman, but the only reason I wanted his card — which shows my rather limited knowledge of hockey and apparently spelling — is because I thought he was related to Canadian figure skating champion Karen Magnussen. So valuable were our collections of Power Player cards that when my teacher confiscated them one day at school, I risked detention by sneaking back into the classroom, opening her desk drawer and taking them back. I still have my collection somewhere, and like to think that my daughter would get a kick out of seeing the cards. But since she has pledged her allegiance to the Vipers, and not to any team currently playing in the NHL, I might just try my luck on eBay.
There’s been a very visible reminder of how great the North Okanagan really is. Since Monday night when a pipe burst, sending a torrent of water through Vernon’s Upper Room Mission, the community has rallied behind the non-profit agency that provides about 300 meals a day to people in need. With the kitchen and dining room unavailable, local restaurants began showing up on site and serving meals under a big tent in the mission’s parking lot. And on Thursday, the meals shifted to the People Place, which has donated space for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The menu changes from meal to meal and day to day, but what is guaranteed is the generosity of everyone involved. These businesses and their employees have recognized the emergency that has arisen for the Upper Room Mission and its clients, many of whom depend on the agency for a nutritious, hot meal. “We are relying on the community to help feed our clients. The response has been overwhelming,” said Lisa Anderson, with URM. Beyond the damage to the building, all of the food in the mission was contaminated by the water so cash donations are being sought to restock the shelves (food donations are not being accepted because of a lack of storage). A trust account has been set up at VantageOne Credit Union, and donations can be made at any VantageOne Branch. The account number is 943555. Ongoing support will be needed as repairs to the mission could take six to eight weeks. It’s a lot to ask of the businesses and the public, but we must all recognize that there is a segment of our community that struggles to put food on the table. We need to stand with our neighbours.

Safety should come first
H
aving finally moved to the North Okanagan, I wanted to start by saying how much we love Vernon and area, and how thankful we are to be here. That said, I have one issue that bothers me enough that I am compelled to pen this complaint. I cannot fathom the apparent (sometimes appalling) lack of personal responsibility by a lot of the pedestrians using the roadsides in the area. I have seen grandmothers and mothers with strollers and three dogs in tow. Joggers clad in grey track suits in the twilight fog. Skateboarders texting while rolling along the roadside, and all of them wearing dark clothing with not so much as
WRONG DIRECTION When one observes and considers the state of our society, it becomes obvious that we are headed in the wrong direction. One change that is occurring that shows people’s contempt for the law is the belligerent attitude towards smoking marijuana. This I will break into two segments, those using it for medical purposes (which does seem to provide some benefit), and those who just want to smoke dope. There is already an infrastructure in place to provide for medicinal use. There is one legal grow-op in Kelowna that I know of, and stores here in Vernon where people with the proper credentials can purchase it. Just like pharmaceutical drugs that are legally sold yet can be dangerous at the same time, the various strains of pot may help people function and live easier lives. With this already in place, there is no need or value in legalizing the use of marijuana for everybody. Governments have recognized the detrimental health effects of cigarette smoking, and are acting to discourage people from getting into this filthy habit. Why would they legalize pot? While Lloyd Atkins praises Justin Trudeau for his willingness to change the laws pertaining to dope

one item that reflects light. Do these people really not realize the imminent danger that is travelling just the other side of that thin white line? I shudder at the thought of a mishap that would leave any of them injured and the emotional, personal, and financial burden that would be cast upon me. There is a host of personal lights and reflective clothing available to these folks, but they choose not to employ them at their peril. Callous irresponsibility would be the phrase that best fits this situation. I implore anyone using the roadside paths to think about this and at least wear bright clothing so as to be seen. K. Ingram
smoking, Trudeau’s willingness is understandable as he has admitted to smoking the stuff. There is nothing to be gained by legalizing the use of marijuana. Democracy is educated, informed people making rational decisions concerning the governing of society. Dope smoking works to hinder rather than enhance this. Brian Unrau MOTIVE QUESTIONED B.C. teachers did not receive a wage increase in their previous two contracts. I question the premier's motive in informing the public that our taxes will increase to offset the increase in wages the teachers will receive in the contract just ratified. Taxpayers' dollars have been used in two court cases where the Liberal government has fought class size and composition (awarded in the B.C. Teachers Federation's favour). The Liberal government is taking the issue to trial for yet a third time. Is this diligent and responsible use of our hard earned tax dollars? Josie Lofting WATER WOES I recently received my third quarter utility bill and the water cost portion of this bill is enormous.
EFLEC TIONS EFLECTIONS
Last year when I received the same third quarter bill (which I also thought was enormous), I decided to do something about it and adjusted my water consumption, bringing my water usage down by almost 20 per cent. Guess what? My bill this year was almost the same as last year. A review of what has happened here has brought me some interesting results. On March 19, the Regional District of North Okanagan board approved a new tiered fee structure, including the infrastructure base fee, increasing the cost to domestic (residential users) by almost 20 per cent. Yes, almost 20 per cent. This in the face of inflationary guidelines of two per cent. I guess the cost of water is not included in the calculations for inflation. Don Graham COMPROMISE NEEDED There are certain past, present and hopefully future real considerations and facts about Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park. Coldstream Ranch owned the park area totally, built the original road and always had a gate. The locked wooden gate was replaced with a locked metal gate when the park was purchased at a very reasonable price by the provincial gov-
ernment. Do we want marauders or even accidents happening? A road is a necessary means of easier mobility for everyone, including nature lovers who could be someone unable to walk. But a 100-foot-wide road allowance seems excessive, more like a fourlane highway. Coldstream is a residential community, not a metropolis. The fact remains that the park is owned by our provincial government, not Coldstream or Vernon, and certainly not by any member of part-time cabin users who can generate their own utilities as a selfcontained community. Compromise reasonably. Democracy suits most of us just fine so take a vote. P. Drought CONGRATULATIONS The B.C. Association for Child Development and Intervention (BCACDI) would like to wish a happy anniversary to the North Okanagan Neurological Society (Vernon Child Development Centre). This non-profit agency has been providing services for children and youth with special needs in your community for 40 years. So congratulations to the North Okanagan Neurological Society,
and they look forward to your continued support in the provision of vital services and supports to children and youth with special needs throughout the Vernon area. Jason Gordon, Provincial Advocate, B.C. Association of Child Development and Intervention

Vernon has been recognized for being proactive when it comes to business. Mayor Akbal Mund has received $10,000 from Eric Foster, Ve r n o n - M o n a s h e e MLA, after the city was named one of the winning communities of the province’s Open for Business Awards. “This endorsement from the province of B.C. is a strong indication that Vernon is moving in the right direction in support of local businesses, which provide so much of the city’s economic strength,” said Mund. “It is my hope that the new council will continue to support and encourage strategies that develop businesses in the community.” The money will support measures that benefit small business. “I am very pleased and happy to have been able to present the City of Vernon a cheque for $10,000,” said Foster. “Vernon is open for business and I am pleased the city has been recognized” The applications were evaluated based on how the communities enhance small-business competitiveness, recognize the contributions of small businesses to the community, and promote the principles of the B.C. Small Business Accord.

The Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce believes opportunities can arise from a public purchase of a rail corridor. Several jurisdictions have an agreement to purchase the Canadian National rail line between Coldstream and Jaron Chasca Kelowna. “This is great news for the region as it secures a transportation corridor that will enhance the quality of life in the region for generations,“ said Jaron
Chasca, chamber president. “We appreciate there are some hurdles to cross but we want to push the local governments in the region to look at this through the lens of economic development. That means planning for links that could connect the route to existing businesses and services in communities throughout the valley and incorporating compatible private sector business development opportunities into any long range planning for the corridor.” An economic impact study completed for the Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative indicated that the proposed trail would generate millions of dollars every year in additional economic spin-offs in the region.

turns on Sundays, one for each Sunday,” said Coun. Brian Schreiner. “Right now, if your kid gets an ear ache, you have to go to Vernon, Salmon Arm or Armstrong (on a Sunday).” The city has been urging residents to shop local. “I appreciate that there are staffing issues and an extra cost (when businesses are open Sundays), but it could create extra revenue,” said Schreiner. Mayor Greg McCune supports approaching the pharmacies. “We can’t walk in and demand but we want to have a discussion to possibly improve the conditions of the community,” he said. Four-way stop approved Measures are being taken to improve safety at an Enderby intersection. Council has directed staff to implement a four-way stop at Cliff Avenue and Sicamous Street, along with advanced warning signs in the spring. “There are seven blocks of open, straight road on Sicamous Street and the speed is getting high,” said Mayor Greg McCune. “The four-way stop slows traffic down.” Sicamous Street goes through a residential neighbourhood and is a key route for children walking to M.V. Beattie Elementary.

Festive caroling helps United Way Morning Star Staff
The sounds of the season will be ringing as Deb White and Dean Marsland carol for a cause Wednesday. The pair will be ringing in the holiday season and raising funds for the United Way North Okanagan Columbia Shuswap as they carol in front of Save-On-Foods at the Village Green Centre from noon to 3 p.m. “This year more than ever, the United Way needs your help,” said White, of White House Mortgages. Marsland, of the Marksmen, is joining White’s efforts this year, as they raise funds and awareness for United Way, which has been supporting communities throughout the region since 1961. Donations can be made online prior to the event at http://www.unitedwaynocs.com/events/ caroling-for-a-cause “Or join us on Dec. 10 where cash, debit, Visa or MasterCard will be gratefully accepted,” said White. All donations over $20 will be provided with a taxable receipt. “I am sure that it will be wonderful to hear Dean sing (as that is what he does), however, to hear Deb sing may be another story….so we are asking for pledges to help us along (or to make Deb stop, your choice really),” said White. “As you may recall Double D’s sang for the Salvation Army in 2009, Teen Junction in 2010, NONA in 2011, Teens Count too in 2012, Kindale in 2013 and with your help raised over $12,500 to help those in need.” More information about the United Way can be found at www.unitedwaynocs.com or call Linda Yule at 250-549-1346

Kienna Boomer-Jones drained 12 points as the host Fulton Maroons grounded the Pleasant Valley Saints 54-28 in North Zone Junior Girls Basketball League action Wednesday night. Abby Hughes added 10 points, while Jasmine Fox chipped in with eight for Fulton. “I was really happy with our first game of the season,” said Fulton head coach Mike Scheller. “Our kids worked really hard on defence and were aggressive attacking the basket on offence. Our hustle and effort made a difference. It was a solid team effort and all 12 girls saw ample floor time. “Jasmine Fox was tough under the boards and Boomer-Jones was very good on defence. I thought Hughes and Mackenzie Morin moved the ball
for us very well.” The VSS Grade 8 Panthers opened the girls basketball season by winning their home tournament Saturday. Mike Bertram’s Cats brushed back Dr. Knox of Kelowna 30-29. The score was tied at 29 when Kelsey Falk hit one of two free throws with 1.5 seconds left for the winning point. Falk finished with six points. Emilia Durfeld led all scorers with nine points and did a great job of running the break and pushing the tempo. Abby Williamson and game MVP was Bree Vanderleest. Falk sank the first seven points of the game and finished with 21 as the Panthers ambushed the Sa-Hali Sabres of Kamloops 51-15 in their second tilt.

The Sladen Moore Pee Wee/Atom Female Lakers bowed 5-1 to host Lillooet Sunday morning with Jaya Chauhan converting from Paige Brayshaw. Camryn Beacom, assisted by Sarah Claeys and Vanessa Kerr, had Vernon’s goal in a 7-1 loss to Lillooet Saturday. All 12 players had to play hard and endure long shifts with Katrina Winstanley going the distance in net both games. Vernon’s Five Star Awards Cougars upended the DCT Chambers Coyotes 7-5 in Bantam Super League play Sunday afternoon at Civic Arena. Reid Lawrence and Tanner Franje-Gilbert each bagged deuces for the Cougars, Lawrence’s second going high, glove-side after a nifty passing play with Emily Wilson-Francois and Elias Wery. Franje-Gilbert potted the winner on a hard point shot which ricocheted off the end boards and off the goalie’s pad. Wyatt Gatzke, Keenon Jeberg and Brayden Beacom contributed singles in support of Jordan Foster and Nick Maglio. Coyote goals came from Jacob Brewer, Zach Laranjo, Colton Schaper-Kotter, Chris Aldrich and Halle Wiggins-Wilson. Jaron Bootsma exploded for six snipes as the Salmon Arm North Broadview Plumbing & Heating clipped the Cougars 8-7 Saturday afternoon at Kal Tire Place. Beacom pulled the hat trick for Five Star Awards, singles going to Lawrence, Franje-Gilbert, Dexter Weiten and Jadon Foster. Weiten had three helpers.
The Coyotes were mauled 11-1 by the first-place North Okanagan Knights Friday night. Eli Vlahos scored for the Coyotes. Interior Savings Just Orange was determined to get a win in November.

Chase Batchelor (1+2), Dakota Becker, Braydie Allan-Webber and Brogan Houston, Mac Gilchrist and Evan Trottier rounded out the Orange scoring to support Caedon Bellmann. The Lumby Stars, sponsored by Terry’s Automotive and Irly Bird Building Centre, earned a 7-4 Atom league win over Winfield McDonald’s Bruins Saturday in Lumby. Bryden Murray supplied 2+1 for the Stars, who got 1+2 from Ryder Quibell and other singles came from Tori Maltman, Kyle Wheeler, Jace Catt and Mia Maltman. James Wraight and Rylie Dewhirst provided clutch assists, while Jack Laventure and Zachary Young supported the offence.

Lake Country Food Bank seeking support KEVIN PARNELL Black Press
The current home for the Lake Country Food Bank could be sold at any time as it is up for sale by the Central Okanagan School District and volunteers trying to raise money for a new home say the public’s chance to help is here. The food bank currently operates out of two small rooms – less than 800-square-feet of space – in the basement of the former Winfield Elementary School serving some 600 Lake Country residents every month. It has long needed a new home and for three years the Lake Country Rotary Club has investigated every possible location that the food bank could move to — residential houses, office buildings, rental space in malls and more. But the campaign is focused on a new building that remains $150,000 dollars short of being able to start construction. Residents are able to help by voting in a unique contest that could raise as much as $100,000 for the new building. The food bank has applied for a $100,000 grant from the Aviva Fund. Every year, Aviva Insurance donates $1 million to worthy community projects, based on a competition for online voters. Community support in October put the Lake Country Food Bank into the semi-final round of voting, which started Dec. 1. In the previous round, 800 people voted – but most voted only once. Competition will be more intense in the semi-final round of voting. To win $100,000, the food bank will need every supporter to vote every day for 10 days. Although the Rotary Club has taken a lead in organizing this fundraising campaign, this is a community project, not just a Rotary project. Everyone needs to get involved by voting. Voting is easy. Go to www.avivacommun it y f u n d. org / i d e a s / acf19456, register and
then vote every day. Also, by sending
your e-mail address to newhomeforthefood-
bank@gmail.com, you can receive an e-mail
reminder to vote daily. If Lake Country
could earn the $100,000 construction of the new
building could start next spring.

Bridge by Phillip Alder FIND THE RIGHT LINE BY COUNTING TRICKS L.M. Boyd, a syndicated columnist, said, “There are 350 varieties of shark, not counting loan and pool.” In this deal, how would you count to bring home four hearts after West leads the club queen? When South shows fourplus hearts, North adds two points for his singleton, which makes his hand worth 17 support points. That is a maximum for a three-heart raise. (If you count losers, which I prefer, that North hand has only five: two spades, one heart, one diamond and one club. That makes his hand strong enough for a game raise. But it is close with only 15 highcard points.)
When the dummy comes down, pause, relax, and start by counting losers. Here, you have five: two spades, one diamond and two clubs. Then move to winners. There are six top tricks: one spade, four hearts and one club. A seventh can come from diamonds. But to get up to 10, you must take seven trump tricks, not four. That means ruffing three clubs in the dummy. However, you must establish your diamond trick first. So, win trick one with your club ace and play your diamond to dummy’s queen. East will win with his ace and shift to a trump. What now? You must be careful with your entries for those club ruffs. Take this trick with your heart ace, ruff a club in
the dummy, cash the spade ace and diamond king, then crossruff in the minors. You take one spade, two hearts, one diamond, one club, two diamond ruffs in your hand and three club ruffs on the board. Yes, an initial trump lead defeats the contract. But that is tough to find.

The formalities are over and Lake Country politicians are now getting down to business. Mayor James Baker and his six councillors were sworn into office during a ceremony Tuesday. “It’s going to be fun working with this group,” said Baker, who was re-elected to another term Nov. 15. “They are prepared to sit down and get to work.” Beyond ongoing issues like infrastructure, council will be focused on the recent decision by area jurisdictions to purchase the CN rail line between Coldstream and Kelowna. While it’s not determined how much Lake Country will contribute towards the $22 million purchase price, public approval will be needed before funds are borrowed. Baker is joined on council by incumbent councillors Penny Gambell, Owen Dickie and Rob Geier, former councillor Bill Scarrow and newcomers Blair Ireland and Matt Vader. Baker isn’t concerned that there will be a steep learning curve for those sitting on council

Judge Ann Wallace congratulates James Baker after he is sworn into office as Lake Country mayor Tuesday. for the first time. “All of the people were concerned with keeping track of what the previous council was up to so they are up to speed already.” The next step is to make
council appointments to various committees. “We will hash that out at a strategic planning session,” said Baker, adding that appointments will be partially decided based on councillors’ interests.

Each participating organization offers a variety of meaningful gifts of help in price ranges that start as low as $10. Shoppers receive cards and inserts that identify their donations. “We have a fantastic group of organizations participating this year,” said Sue Solymosi, JCI Vernon Alternative Gift Fair co-chairperson. “It’s the perfect place to pick up meaningful gifts for family and friends.

Building increases ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
People seem to be building homes in either Armstrong or Spallumcheen, but not both at the same time. That’s the view of Armstrong Mayor Chris Pieper when looking over October’s building inspection statistics released by the Regional District of North Okanagan. There were 14 housing units started worth nearly $4.5 million in the city through the end of October, compared to nine in the township with a value of $3.7 million. In 2013, through October, there were 20 housing starts in Spallumcheen valued at more than $9.4 million, compared to just two in Armstrong worth nearly 41.9 million. Armstrong’s numbers in 2014 have been buoyed by development in new subdivisions that have been approved by the city. “The development makes a big increase to our local downtown, local merchants and the economic impact is huge,” said Pieper. “The last two years, when there has been sort of an economic crunch, there have been 29 new homes built in Spallumcheen and 16 in Armstrong. That does make a big impact.”

t’s a misnomer to think that there is always a happy ending. Look at Snow White. In the antithesis of the Disney version, Norm Foster’s musical A Snow White Christmas, making its western Canada premiere now at Vernon’s Powerhouse Theatre, sees Snow years after she was swept off her proverbial feet by Prince Charming. Turns out the guy was bit of a cad, Kristin Froneman askulking off with Cinderella and leaving poor Snow to fend for herself, with the help of seven wayward souls. However, Dopey, Sneezy and Bashful are nowhere to be seen in this version, directed by Jackson Mace. Instead, a ragged looking and slightly bitter Ms. White (played by Judy Rose) now runs a sweat shop (the a is silent, we are told) with a group of sweet orphans, led by the always starving waif Max (Mica Lemiski). Then there’s the inept Fairly Good Mother (Roxanne Ricard), who is sent to help. Problem is she doesn’t know why and even worse, she has a faulty wand (it’s on loan, we are told). It’s a funny and almost realistic twist on the beloved fairytale and is played beautifully by a band of talented actor/singers. Leading that group is local jazz chanteuse Rose, who plays White as both raucous and demure. Those emotions translate in her singing the story-driven and rather wordy songs written by famed Toronto composer/ librettist David Warrack. Rose’s vocal pipes should be bronzed. They are that powerful. Both classically trained singers, Ricard and Lemiski’s vocals are just as gorgeous - soft and sweet when needed, and both can hit some painfully high notes. Ricard, new to Powerhouse, is especially notable in her performance. Let’s hope we see her on the local stage again.

Blackjack Billy’s Noll Billings (vocals), Rob Blackledge (vocals, guitar), Brad Cummings (drums) and Jeff Coplan (electric guitar) play their redneck rock as part of the Bands on the Run tour with Doc Walker and The Road Hammers, Dec. 13 at Vernon’s Kal Tire Place. Mississippi originally and I saw snow for the first time in third grade. It’s cliché, but climate plays a large role in my life. There’s nothing to do when it’s cold here. It’s just wet and miserable. If I lived on the side of a mountain at least I could plan on skiing.… I for one love coming up there because it feels like a vacation. I enjoy the scenery. You can eat more. You get to see a part of the country you wouldn’t get to see otherwise. Canada is a really fun place to entertain yourself in. MS: And Canadian girls seem to love those southern boys… RB: It must be the accent: Alright, alright, alright (said in his best Matthew McConaughey drawl): MS: Have you seen Interstellar yet? RB: I’ve always been a Matthew McConaughey fan. I just watched the HBO series True Detective and Mud is one of my favourite movies… I haven’t seen Interstellar yet. Maybe I will when on the Canadian tour and it gets too cold outside. MS: Your new album Rebel Child, produced by your bandmate Jeff Coplan, was released up here last month. How has it been received so far? RB: I keep my head out of the what people think about the record. I try not to care. I have been hearing some whispering, and have
Now With A
noticed requests for some of our songs on social media, so that means people are listening to our brand, new record. They’ve been requesting Riley Creek and Sugar Cane. Those songs are not new for us but for everyone else they are. It refuels your fire for those songs you may have been playing for while. The hard part now is picking a set list. As a month or two ago, we had released six or seven songs. We’ve just released another 10, so now we have to decide what eight songs we’re going to play. We hope to use social media to ask what people want to hear… MS: I have to talk about your first single Booze Cruise. I once went on a booze cruise on Lake Ontario in Toronto. Have you been on one? RB: We’ve been fortunate to play a few. If you’re an experienced booze cruiser, time is your friend. Pacing yourself is important. Stick to beer. Just keep swimming, and life jackets are required. They’re fun to play unless it’s rocky, then it’s kind of hard to play music, when the bass and the drummer’s cymbals are moving. Bands on the Run arrives at Kal Tire Pace Saturday, Dec. 13 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for the licensed all-ages show are $42.50 general admission available in advance at the Ticket Seller box office, 250-549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.

Boys make a sled run to Vernon
It’ll be one of the biggest tailgate parties, sans the actual tailgate, to hit Vernon when the Bands on the Run tour finally rolls into Kal Tire Place Dec. 13. Joining Canadian big “rigs” Doc Walker and The Road Hammers is U.S. act Blackjack Billy, who are gearing up for their first, full-length Canadian tour. The Nashville-based band will not only be bringing a full album’s worth of new music, but will also have their brand new single, Run, in tow. The Morning Star recently spoke with Blackjack Billy guitarist/vocalist Rob Blackledge, who joins his bandmates Noll Billings (vocals), Jeff Coplan (electric guitar), and Brad Cummings (drums) for some ice fishing, sledding and decent beer as they make their way across this frosty nation of ours. MS: You’re starting out your tour with The Road Hammers and Doc Walker in Halifax. Have you met the boys yet? I know they’re down in Nashville a fair bit. RB: That’s the fun thing about being in bands. Jeff (Coplan) knows all those guys. He is from Montreal, moved to New York, and is back with open arms to Canada, and he hopes for a warm embrace. I’ve met a couple of the guys from Doc Walker, but for the most part it will be a new mix for us. It’s another part of the fun, to create new memories. MS: Canadians are only rednecks for two months out of the year in the summer… Whereas, you get a tan on the back of your neck all year round. That’s the PC way of saying redneck, and as your band is billed as redneck rock, do you feel OK with us using that term? RB: I think if everyone was honest we’d get beyond being PC. It’s just a term and we’re taking it back like (Redneck Woman singer) Gretchen Wilson did. MS: You’re just about to head up here on tour. What kind of Canadian-style shenanigans do you plan to get up to? RB: I’ve never been snowmobiling or ice fishing, so I hope to do that. Seriously, I love getting to meet folks all over Canada. I’ve had a few trips to Canada before. I am from

Penguins of Madagascar
ecret agents aren’t born, they’re hatched. When Dave (voiced by John Malkovich), a mad scientist octopus, develops a ray gun that turns adorable penguins into uncontrollable monsters, it’s up to the Penguins of Madagascar, Skipper, Private, Rico and Kowalski, to save all of penguin-kind. We say, “It’s funnier than Horrible Bosses 2.” TAYLOR: Well, I thought so anyway. Penguins of Madagascar made me laugh out loud, which is a pretty rare occurrence, at least at the movies. In fact, it made me laugh in the first five seconds, when a Werner Herzog sound-alike started narrating. It’s not so much that the film is hilarious, but it’s pleas-

ant and zips along very quickly. There are many, many jokes that are flying over the kids’ heads, but they didn’t seem to mind and it’s certainly not the case that the jokes we’re inappropriate, just adult oriented. HOWE: I don’t know if it flew over all the kids’ heads. When I was there, there were lots of kids laughing. Let’s see what a younger member of the audience thought: FENIN: I found it really funny. The octopus reminds me of my

My favourite penguin is Skipper. HOWE: But I will agree, Penguins of Madagascar does seem a lot more adult themed. I did laugh and was entertained, which means it has done its job. My
complaint is that in the main Madagascar films, the penguins were bit part players, along with King Julien, and when they entered the films it was only for a few minutes. When they were on the screen they stole the spotlight. Now give them their own movie for an hour and a half

Powerhouse brings Foster’s ‘sweat’ story to life Continued from B1
But enough about the women. Sorry Nellie McClung, but it’s the men that really steal the show here.... Making his entrance with one fail swoop of his cape, and his Guy Smiley grin, is Vince Charming (Paul Lawson), who has just opened his art reproduction business, Charming Prints (get it?), across the street from Snow’s sweat (again, the a is silent) shop. As the man in tights, Lawson is hilarious and camps it up to Mt. Everest proportions. And he’s got a pretty decent singing voice to boot. Also camping it up in Cockney accents, no less, are the “bad” guys, Derek (Bob Oldfield) and Freddie (Cliff Lattery). Reminiscent of the two villains from Home Alone – in that one is smart, the other not so much – these guys come up with a plot to steal the Evil Queen’s magic mirror that is now in Snow’s possession. (And yes, the mirror does speak, and funny enough, the “genie” inside it looks awfully like a certain director.) Oldfield and Lattery play off one another superbly – and bring a certain warmth to what
is a surprise twist near the end of the play. Actually, there are a few surprises in this fun and silly story. As one of Canada’s most produced playwrights, Foster has once again brought the humanity to the absurd, and Powerhouse does a commendable job of bringing that to life. The show will also get you right into the Christmas mood, especially with the incredible snow-globe feel of the revolving sets designed by Cara Nunn, who with her crew have created a village fit for a Prince and his Snow White. I guess everyone deserves a happy ending, after all. A Snow White Christmas continues
and to me it was just a little to over-bearing, a little over the top. TAYLOR: Consider taking kids of all ages to see this film. This elite squad of penguins is worth the price of admission. – Fenin gives Penguins of Madagascar 5 King Juliens out of 5. – Howe gives it 3 bobbing headed dolls out of 5. – Taylor gives it 3 name puns out of 5.

Allen was joined by a number of fellow musicians, including Vernon-raised recording artist Jodi Pederson (above, right), local singing sensation Olivia Penalva (Bottom, right) and Slocan’s Shawn Hook, who like Allen is making a name for himself on the singer-songwriter circuit. More photos from the concert can be found on The Morning Star’s Facebook page.
Guitarist’s hooks are impressive Chris Harwood-Jones: Unhooked
J
azz-rock guitarist (and local Anglican minister) Chris Harwood-Jones updates the classic fusion-era sound on Unhooked with his first solo album. The Vernon musician’s confident form is bolstered by some guests of renown (Bill Dean Gordon-Smith Ray, Alain Caron, Aaron Anderson and lone singer Kim Richardson) in a well realized take on a tidy hybrid. Produced by Norman Robidoux at Hammerhead Studios in Coldstream, Unhooked is a punchy and clean record

that highlights the dynamic of over-driven riffs with light, fanciful passages. It’s an update on the heavy fusion sound of the late 1970s that at times resembles the vibe of Jeff Beck’s Guitar Shop. It’s a guitar head’s wet dream. The album is surprising. It starts with a breezy track that rides on a boppy vamp before exiting stage left for intense sound effects and solos (Jubilee). Harwood-Jones is a skilled, clean player, well-versed in the genre and he incorporates elements of players like Pat Metheny, Jeff Beck and Alan Holdsworth. Beck’s influence can be heard in the super-slick, stop-time riffing of Flow and Free Flight. On those he blends over-driven tones and macho riffs with wild solos and introspective lines over a funky bass line. It’s finely controlled mayhem and heavy expressionism.
Detectable in some of Harwood-Jones’ arsenal of sounds is the heart of a shredder hell bent on making its presence felt. That, combined with a Holdsworthian touch of legato phrasing and fluid whammy bar textures, make Unhooked a startling jazz-rock discovery. Of special note is Space, a bludgeoning shred-fest that’s a duet between drummer Bill Ray and Harwood-Jones on guitar and bass(!) – an impressive display of power and skill. Lest it be thought that this recording is just a heavy one (and it can be), there’s some tender moments. Letting Go is a groovy excursion on loss featuring Kim Richardson on lead vocal, backed by Jon Buller and Karen Wiseman. Lamentation is another, a lyrical piece of chordal melody that finishes the album on a wistful note.

With a little paint and a lot of imagination, students at Vernon Community School are helping make Christmas a little brighter for children in need. Thanks to a connection made by volunteers with Santas Anonymous, the students in the program at Fulton secondary school are busy painting old Tonka trucks to make them as good as new and transforming a hand-crafted train set. “Someone donated the train set and was not able to finish painting it,” said Perry Wainwright, with Santas Anonymous. “So I had the idea of getting school kids to take on this project.” The trucks will end up parked on the shelve at Santas Anonymous, where they will be selected by a parent as a Christmas gift for their child. “The trucks were rusty and fried from the sun and they’re getting all fixed up as these kids are bringing these toys back to life,” said Wainwright. The train set will be the prize in a raffle draw for parents who make an appointment to pick up gifts for their children.
Wainwright also brought in half a dozen large barrels which will be distribute at businesses around town and filled with donated toys. VCS students have painted the barrels, with colourful Christmas themes. Santas Anonymous provides toys and gifts to children ages birth to 12 years at Christmas and all year long for birthdays. Gifts are available to families living throughout the North Okanagan, including Armstrong, Falkland, Cherryville, Lumby, Lavington and Coldstream. Volunteer Lydia Wainwright said so far, business has been fairly steady for Santas volunteers. “But I would like to encourage people to make contact with us, the sooner the better,” she said. “And as always, we want to remind people that Santas Anonymous is not just for Christmas — we also do birthday gifts all year long. “We appreciate the support we get from the community, which supports us with financial donations and with gifts. The community employs us to put it in the hands of the rest of the community.” Lydia appreciates the help that Santas

is getting from VCS students because it’s kids helping kids. “They really think outside the box,” she said. Student Cole Hutchison coordinated the classroom project and he said all of his classmates were enthusiastic about helping Santas Anonymous. “We wanted to take it on because we wanted to help kids who don’t get presents and stuff and we wanted to make them happy,” he said. “We had two kids working on one bin each and they had to come up with the design.” Families in need can contact Santas at 250-542-4448 to make an appointment to come in and pick up Christmas gifts for their children ages zero to 12 years. Deadline to make an appointment is Dec. 10. “We would like to thank all the businesses and citizens that make donations to Santas so we can continue helping children and families,” said Lydia. “We are here for those who really need it. Some people feel they are not poor enough, but if you don’t have enough for your kids to play with, then feel free and step forward as we want the kids to win.”

Scorpion. Rev. 9:5: “their torment was as a torment of a scorpion when he striketh a man.” The effect of the scorpion sting is to incapacitate a man, inducing extreme inflammation, pain and fear; but not so as to prove fatal. The scorpion has a poison bag at the extreme end of its tail. The last joint is swollen, contains the venom gland. Lk. 11:12: Christ speaking: “If a son shall ask bread of one of you...or if he shall an egg, will he offer a scorpion?”

This Dec. 6 marks 25 years since 14 young women were senselessly murdered at l’École Polytechnique de Montréal. Since then, Canada has marked the date annually as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women. Over the last several weeks, Canadians have been reminded again and again that violence against women and sexual harassment are still persistent problems in this country. Even Parliament Hill and our public broadcaster’s offices are not immune. These high profile cases have helped shine a light on the complexities of gender-based violence and have sparked important discussions. But discussions must also lead to action. On any given day in Canada, more than 8,200 women and children are living in emergency shelters and transition houses to escape violent partners.

Annually more than 400,000 women and girls report sexual assaults, yet an approximate 90 per cent of assaults go unreported. Nearly 1,200 aboriginal women and girls have been murdered or gone missing over the last 30 years. We cannot let this continue to happen. As we reflect on the events of Dec. 6, 1989, across Canada we must ask ourselves why our current criminal laws, labour codes, and programs have proven inadequate to eradicate this problem. Last year the Canadian Network of Women’s Shelters & Transition Houses did just that, they released a report analyzing current government policies and programs focused on violence against women. The results were not all that surprising; on a whole Canada is lacking coherence and coordination between the federal and provincial/territorial levels. As with any complex social issue, we might expect our governments to ensure they are addressing the root causes, conducting ongoing research, evaluating existing measures and facilitating coordination between all relevant stakeholders. All of this takes planning, both in the short and the long term. So why is it that with such a widespread problem like gender-based violence, that affects one in three women, Canada has no comprehensive plan or strategy?
With Canada less than a year away from a fixed federal election date, this is certainly a question we should be asking politicians. The public discussions we’re having right now are building — perhaps to a tipping point where real societal change will occur — but we simply can’t afford to let the conversation lapse. We need politicians to join the discussion and make changes. That’s exactly what a new campaign, led by an alliance of more than 100 women’s organizations and allies, hopes to accomplish. The campaign, dubbed Up for Debate, wants to make sure women figure prominently in how we make the decision about the future of our country. It challenges political party leaders to participate in a televised leaders’ debate on women’s issues once the election is called, the first in 30 years, and more broadly urges politicians to commit to make meaningful commitments to make women’s lives better. Twenty-five years have passed since Canada was shaken by the École Polytechnique tragedy. Is it not time we got serious about ending violence against women? Julia Jones is president of the Canadian Federation of University Women, Vernon branch.
Students share gift of reading Morning Star Staff
Students from the W.L. Seaton Rotary Club decided they wanted to make a difference by encouraging young readers in the area. The club fundraised and purchased books to donate to kindergarten students at their feeder elementary
schools: Alexis Park and Harwood. “It is no secret that avid readers transfer their literacy skills to their ability to learn,” said Kevin Yapps, a Seaton teacher and facilitator of the school Rotary club. “We live in a society that uses literacy as a vehicle to communicate. Reading

and writing are tools that are used to help individuals make sense of the world that surrounds them.” The Seaton group learned about a project that gives little books to children. The publications are small, easy-toread and have simple words, simple pictures and repetitive text. Through the program, children receive a package with a little book, as well as instructions for parents, a few times throughout the year. “Students who shared the little books with their parents daily were able to recognize more words and some even learned to read them,” said Yapps. The Seaton Rotary group hopes that this gift will bring joy to these children and parents, and strengthen community ties. Seaton’s focus is to make this initiative an ongoing project for years to come. To achieve that, the Rotary Club is actively seeking grants and donations to continue this project. Anyone interested in supporting this program can contact Yapps by e-mailing kyapps@ sd22.bc.ca

The 2015 model year vehicles are rolling into dealerships, with just a few stragglers set for later arrival in the New Year. This week, the Driveway team takes a look at what’s new, in print and online at drivewaycanada.ca, starting with our chief test driver Zack Spencer.

New Year’s Resolution: Hot rides and buys for 2015 Here are what I consider to be five important cars for 2015.
This sixth generation Explorer marks the 25th anniversary of the iconic SUV, with over 350,000 sold in Canada so far.
Mazda MX-5 2015 Jeep Renegade Over the last few years Mazda has been introducing There is no question that the merger of Fiat and vehicles with its new Skyactiv technology but there is Chrysler has helped to introduce many new vehicles. one car that will signify the culmination of all the things The small car segment is a perfect example; the Fiat Mazda does well, the next generation MX-5 (Miata). 500 and its variations has been a plus The MX-5 will come in 2015 as a 2016 for Chrysler’s bottom line. Built in Europe model and all eyes are on Mazda to see on the Fiat 500L platform, this smaller what it can deliver. The bodywork is more Jeep Renegade replaces the Compass dramatic and having seen it in person, and Patriot models. Powered by either the dimensions look fanatic but the new a 160hp, 1.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder front grille might take a while to adapt too. The two-seat cockpit is roomier, thanks to or a larger 184hp, 2.4L 4-cylinder, Jeep a wider body and longer wheelbase but claims that this compact crossover is the overall length is 105mm shorter and still a capable vehicle because of two by Zack Spencer 20mm lower. available all-wheel-drive (AWD) systems. The 2.0L Skyactiv direct injection 4-cylinder will power The standard models will be available with front-wheelthis lightweight car and power will go to the rear drive (FWD), with either a 6-speed manual or 9-speed wheels though a 6-speed manual transmission. Engine automatic transmission. output has not been announced, neither has the price, Styling is all-American; the signature Jeep grille is marbut expect the car to be competitive with the 2015 ried perfectly into the boxy design, as too are other Jeep model on price. styling cues. The interior is has a rugged, yet upscale design that features all of Jeep’s latest technology, Ford Explorer including the award winning Uconnect infotainment The sixth generation Ford Explorer will arrive in 2015 system. Pricing has not been announced but expect it as a 2016 model, now with new 2.3L EcoBoost engine shortly as it is due at dealerships very soon. available on the base and XLT trim. This replaces the older 2.0L Ecoboost and provides a 270hp, a 13 per cent bump over the last version. The 290hp 3.5L V6 is carried over but the Sport trim and new Platinum trim will be fitted with the 365hp Ecoboost V6. Ford claims that styling is the number one purchase consideration so the shape was retained but new grille and LED headlamps help refresh the look.
Honda HR-V Coming in 2015 is another SUV, smaller than the CR-V, helping to define the new subcompact SUV market. This little runabout is built off the excellent Honda Fit platform and will include many of the features that make that car a standout. The first is the interior of the HR-V. It will also feature Honda’s Magic Seats that flip
and fold for amazing versatility. The same 1.8L 4-clinder engine with 138hp will power this vehicle, either with FWD or AWD, through a continuously variable transmission or 6-cpeed manual. Pricing will be introduced closer to the introduction this coming spring. Built in Mexico, the HR-V will give Honda the same leg up that the original CR-V did for the small SUV segment. Chevrolet Volt It might surprise many people that the best selling electric car in Canada is the Chevrolet Volt, not the sexy Tesla Model S. There are many reasons for this, mainly the fact that the Volt provides all-electric transportation for 65 kms but with the aid of a small 4-cylinder generator to extend the range over 300 kms. This car has all of the upside of an electric car with none of the range limiting restrictions. In 2015, Chevrolet will introduce the second generation of Chevrolet Volt, one that hopes to improve on the usability of the car in terms of comfort and electric driving range. General Motors will showcase the next generation car in January at the Detroit Auto Show and the company’s CEO has stated that the new car “will store more energy in its battery pack with fewer cells, yet go further on a charge.” General Motors claims that 80 per cent of current Volt owners commute entirely on electric power, so any improvement to range will help increase this number. The Volt isn’t a huge volume seller for General Motors but this new model will help the company to showcase what it can do technologically. General Motors has the capability to produce some the most advanced cars on the road.
Question of the Week Alexandra Straub writes this week about the unusual new colours featured on cars at the LA Auto Show. Do you favour one colour when you buy a car. If so, what and why?

Safety Tip: On average, there are almost double the crashes resulting in injury or fatality in B.C. due to driving too fast for conditions in December. In poor conditions, slow down, increase your following distance and give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination.

Pickups pick up major sales across the country By Ian Harwood
Pickup trucks continue to push new sales records every year and with more and more advancements in technologies and lightweight materials, we are witnessing a dramatic change to the automotive industry. The 2015 Ford F-150 is a reinvention of North America’s most popular pickup. It is 317 kilograms (700lbs) lighter, due to its aluminum body. It can tow up to 500 more kilograms (1,100lbs) and carry up to 240 more kilograms (530lbs) of cargo. The other benefit of losing all this weight is the fuel economy numbers, projected to be five to 20 percent better gas mileage. Four engine choices, 2.7 litre EcoBoost V6 delivering 385 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque, a 3.5 litre EcoBoost V6 twin turbo that produces 365 horsepower and an incredible 420 lb-ft of torque, a 5.0-litre V8 with 385 horse-

horsepower engine, but it is only available with the automatic transmission. Available 4G LTE with Wi-Fi connection through OnStar turns your pick up into a mobile hotspot. Brand new body style will attract a lot of attention, especially on the west coast where midsize trucks were so popular. Starting at $22,395 The 2015 Chevy Silverado HD marches in with an all new exterior styling designed around improving airflow, which helps the 6.6-litre Duramax turbo diesel or the 6.0-litre Vortex V8 maintain full power during heavy towing and higher temperatures. Auto grade braking and diesel exhaust braking help keep towing in check on those steep hills. Starting on a hill is no problem thanks to the hill start assist that holds the brakes until you press the accelerator. The trailer sway control automatically senses if a trailer is swaying and brings it back in line by applying both the truck’s and trailer’s brakes. The rear bumper has steps integrated into each corner making it easier to access the pickup’s box. Starting at $39,995 The 2015 Toyota Tundra is equipped with a 5.7-litre i-force V8 engine producing 381 hp and 401 lb-ft of torque can tow up to 4,760 kg (10,500 lb). The Tundra went through a complete makeover last year with dramatic changes to the body. The grille is much larger and gives the truck a more aggressive look. The 1794 Edition is a Western themed truck that features 20” chrome clad alloy wheels, chrome surround grille with 2 bar silver inserts, a chrome and silver bumper, 1794 Edition badging, power moonroof and a heavy duty towing package. The Tundra tailgate opens very easily with the hydraulic assist and can close with as little as two fingers. Starting at $27,225 ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

JOHN PAWLYSHYN June 12, 1924 - November 22, 2014
John Pawlyshyn, son of George and Katherine (Burak) Pawlyshyn was born in Goodeve, Saskatchewan on June 12, 1924. John grew up on the family homestead which is now being operated by his nephew Dr. Vlad Pawlyshyn. In June 2014 the province honoured the Pawlyshyn’s with a commemorative plaque for their dedication of 100 years of family farming. John moved to Vernon, BC and spent his entire working life first in the retail business, The P & M General Store, then Kelly Douglas Grocery Wholesale in Vernon, transferring to Nanaimo where he worked until retirement. On October 14, 1951 he was united in marriage with Doris Sophie Hackman in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Assumption of St. Mary, Vernon, BC. John and his wife were dedicated members and strong supporters of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, participating in and contributing to many functions over the years. He was a member of the Order of St. Andrew and took great pride in his Ukrainian heritage, ensuring that his son Mark received a thorough knowledge of the Orthodox faith and Ukrainian culture with a religious and cultural family upbringing at home. His favourite sport and hobby was fishing and boating which he enjoyed with his family and friends as well as travelling to various countries with his wife and son. Reading became a passion in retirement. In 1994 he retired to Parksville, BC with his wife. He was a loving, kind, caring husband, father, grandfather and friend. Mourning the passing of John and cherishing the memory of his life are his wife Doris; son, Mark (Debra); granddaughter, Kyla (Bojan) ; as well as his sister-in-law Rose; many nieces and nephews; and the many friends he made throughout his life. John was predeceased by his parents, George and Katherine; brothers, Peter (Lena) and Bill; and sisters, Nellie (James) Mykytiuk and Anne (Harry) Murawsky. A service was held December 1, 2014 in Parksville, BC.

BLACK, Larry George
Larry passed away peacefully on December 1 , 2014 in Kelowna General Hospital at the age of 66. He is survived by Gay, his loving wife of 48 years; two daughters, Lonnie (Rob) Revell and Lorrie (Graham) Kowalski; one son, Kevin (Kelly), all of Vernon; Įve grandchildren͗ Liam, Logan, Livia, Kaden, and Kael; his mother, Marcelle Black of Vernon; two sisters, Charlene (Norm) DeGirolamo of Richmond, and Lorraine (Barry) James of Vernon; his AunƟe Grace (Gordon) Morris of Kelowna; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and many dear friends. He was predeceased by his father, Irwin, in 1985. Larry’s passion in life was hockey, he lived and dreamt it. From his early years playing minor hockey to playing for the Trail Jr. Smokeaters and the Revelstoke Selkirks. He then went on to coaching minor hockey in Revelstoke winning several Provincial Championships. AŌer the Minor Hockey years he went on to coach the Revelstoke Merchants Sr. Men’s Hockey Team to a Coy Cup Championship in 1990-91. He was the GM of the Revelstoke Grizzlies for 7 years, winning the League Championship in 1997-98. Larry was then hired by the Vernon Vipers as a Scout, eventually becoming the Head Scout. He helped the Vipers achieve 2 NaƟonal Championships, narrowly missing out on a third Championship. He loved the team and all the players that came and went, creaƟng many lasƟng friendships. AŌer 11 years with the Vipers, he moved on to the Salmon Arm Silverbacks as Assistant GM and Head Scout to again work with his good friend Troy Mick. The highlight of his hockey days was coaching the Midget Tier 2 Vipers last year. He truly cared for each and every player on this team including his 2 grandsons who were on the team. His son and son-in-law helped coach the team, creaƟng a very special year of hockey memories. Larry’s grandchildren were the highlight of his life, watching them play hockey, lacrosse and soccer brought him great pride and joy. Larry lived life large and will be greatly missed. In lieu of Ňowers, donaƟons may be made to Kidsport, cͬo RecreaƟon Service, 3310 37th Avenue, Vernon, BC, V1T 2Y5. The CelebraƟon of Life Service for Larry will be held in the chapel of Pleasant Valley Funeral Home on Wednesday, December 10th, 2014 at 2͗00 p.m.

Obituaries
Loving Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother and Great-Great-Grandmother We regret to announce the death of Thorgjerd (Toy) Dupont (nee Sather) on December 1, 2014. Toy was born in Oslo, Norway on February 27, 1924. Her father, Soren Sather came to Canada in 1927 and his wife Thordis and three daughters, Synnerva, Thorgerd and Rhondi arrived in 1928 at the now historic Pier 21 in Halifadž Nova ScoƟa. The family migrated west during the 1930’s and seƩled in the Peace River Country in Alberta. Toy, like many in her generaƟon, was not afraid of hard work and at the age of 12, she began working in restaurants and as a cook on prairie threshing ouƞits. She also worked as a house cleaner which gave her a life-long appreciaƟon for a clean home. Despite her early entry into the workforce Toy obtained a Grade 10 educaƟon and eventually worked for Sears and owned and operated several businesses, including a ladies wear store and a second hand shop. Toy’s Ňare for wholesome cooking, along with her generous and hospitable nature, brought her to a job of cooking at a forestry camp at LiƩle Fork and for the Micro Wave crew when she and Įrst husband Marvin had Halamore Lodge in East Black-Pool B.C. AŌer her marriage to Fred Dupont, together they owned and operated TΘD enterprises and embarked on a life of internaƟonal travel and edžploraƟon. Toy is pre-deceased by her parents, her Įrst husband Marvin King; second husband, Louis Frederick (Fred) Dupont; sisters, Randi Bergson (Carey), Doris Bendall, George Pryce (son-in-law) and her step-daughter Debbie McCallum (nee Dupont). She leaves to mourn and miss her hospitable and loving spirit, her daughter Joyce Bracewell (Murray), son Guy King, (Pat); two step-daughters Shannon Hornak(Wayne), Shelly Dupont, (Rod), step-son Kim Dupont, (Grace); 13 step-grandchildren and their spouses; 15 step-great grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild; 7 siblings, (Synnerva, Norma, Muriel, Gladys, Loveigh, Lester and Ron), many friends including her dear friends Helen and Steve Crantz who became like family to Fred and Toy. Toy, Mom, Grandma, Great-Grandma, Great- Great-Grandma, Sister, AunƟe we love you and will miss you. Jeg elsker deg veldig mye. In lieu of Ňowers a donaƟon to the Canadian Red Cross (2809 44 Avenue, Vernon, BC V1T 7P4) is requested. A CelebraƟon of Life will be held at 2͗00 p.m., Sunday, December7, 2014 at the chapel of AlternaƟves Funeral Θ CremaƟon Services (4417 ʹ 29th Street, Vernon, BC).

We will not match competitors’ “multi-buys” (eg. 2 for $4), “spend x get x”, “Free”, “clearance”, discounts obtained through loyalty programs, or offers related to our third party operations (post office, gas bars, dry cleaners etc.). We reserve the right to cancel or change the terms of this program at any time. Customer Relations: 1-866-999-9890.
