ose for pictures. Sign autographs. Meet old friends, make new ones. It was a busy three hours that went by quickly for Vernon Olympic hero Kevin Hill. The 27-year-old Canadian snowboard cross rider, who finished eighth overall in Sochi (second in the small final), had a perma-grin on his face as he and his family held a thank-you party in the Grand Room at Kal Tire Place Wednesday afternoon. It was Hill’s and his family’s way of saying thanks to the community for the support while he pursued Olympic gold. “Coming from a small town like this, the community really gets involved to support us,” said Hill, decked out in his Canadian Olympic team cardigan sweater with matching tie. “It shows no matter where you’re from, the little kids looking up to us, it shows you can make it if you put in the time, energy and the hard work. In the end, you can accomplish anything, that’s the best part. “I’ve been seeing a lot of new people I’ve never seen before which is really cool. I’m really happy with the turnout.” Among the new friends and admirers out of the hundreds Hill made Wednesday was Griffin Fletcher, 11, a Grade 6 student at Beairsto, who ended up winning one of 10 autographed Hill World Cup bibs the Olympian gave away. “I think it’s really cool to have someone from our town go to the Olympics,” said Fletcher. “I watched his race on TV and it was sad what happened but that’s what happens in his sport (Hill was in second place in his semifinal when he was knocked out of contention from behind by a Spanish rider). I really wanted to meet him. He’s cool.” Hailey Rilkoff and Courtney Moi, employees at the Vernon Visitor’s Centre, admitted they closed the office a smidge early for a chance to meet Hill. “I’m happy to be here and see the community come out to support Kevin,” said Moi who, along with Rilkoff, had a cell phone picture of them snapped with Hill. “He’s done a real great job and I’m really proud of him. Having the picture taken was pretty cool. I’m a little star-struck.” Added Rilkoff: “He’s a down-to-earth guy. He’s from Vernon. He’s making sure he talks to everybody, and always takes a moment to thank everyone for coming out.”

For a video of the celebration visit vernonmorningstar.com Hill is also well-known locally for his prowess in the world of BMX bike racing. Among the former BMX-ers catching up with Hill was Tyler Riva, a Grade 9 Vernon Secondary student. “Kevin was my BMX coach for about 10 years,” said Riva. “We talked about sports and stuff. Just old friends talking. It’s great he made it to the Olympics. It gives us another figure to look up to. Vernon’s other Olympic hero, ski halfpipe athlete Justin Dorey, 25, was not able to attend Wednesday’s function. He was represented by his father, Peter, who had a long conversation with Hill. “It’s great to have the Doreys here,” said Hill. “It’s too bad Justin couldn’t be here but they came and supported me. It was awesome to have Justin represent Vernon in the Olympics as well.” Dorey arrived at his Whistler home Monday night. He and Hill took part in the Olympic closing ceremonies Sunday in Sochi. An exhausted Dorey, who was at his first-ever Olympics, now understands what the event means to so many people. “The environment is crazy over there,”

said Dorey. “People from all over the world, the best of the best athletes, the stoke over there was just insane. I got super involved in the pin trading over there, you can pretty much get anything you want if you have the right pins.” Dorey was leading his event after the two qualifying runs, and said he was feeling good as he landed his finals run in between the qualifiers and the final. During his first of two runs in the final, Dorey appeared to be on his way to a gold-medal-winning run when he crashed. He ended up 12th overall. “The hit would have been up there if I had landed that run a little bit later,” said Dorey, whose parents, step-dad, aunt and uncle, godfather and longtime family friend were in the crowd at Sochi cheering him on. “I should have saved it for the finals. I didn’t stop my finals run, which was a bummer, but I made it pretty far.” What touched him most about the Olympics was the support he got. “I couldn’t believe how many people I hadn’t heard from or seen in 15 years, reaching out on Facebook,” said Dorey. “People have no idea what I do, but there

was so much love and support from so many people it was overwhelming. As heartbreaking as it was that I didn’t land my finals runs, it was quite a touching experience to have the support of so many people.” Jet-lagged and beat-up from Sochi, and needing to catch up on real-life stuff after putting it aside for three or four months, Dorey was apologetic for not being able to make it to Vernon in person for Wednesday’s event. Saying thank you for the community’s support, he said, doesn’t seem to be enough. “It’s been a pretty emotional ride,” said Dorey. “The most touching part of this whole last few years is the support from everyone in Vernon. That’s where my roots are. “Having all the support of everybody out there made a world difference for taking this for what it is and looking at more than the results. Having the whole community behind me made it an incredible, once in a lifetime experience and I’m so grateful to the support of everybody there.”

Body found on trail

Legendary Sound

roger knox Morning Star Staff

An autopsy will likely be performed to determine the death of a man whose body was found on a hillside above Fulton Secondary Thursday. Vernon RCMP were alerted after the body was found shortly after 9:30 a.m. off of Nka-kul-kem Trail, a popular walking trail in the 5600 block of Okanagan Avenue. “There is no early indication as to what caused the man’s death, and an autopsy would likely be needed for a full determination as to what led to his death,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord

Molendyk, who estimated the man to be between the ages of 25 and 45. Police officers and the coroner were on the scene investigating Thursday afternoon. “The investigation, as you can appreciate, is still very much in the preliminary stages,” said Molendyk. “There is no outward sign as to why this individual should have passed away.” The trail, which is used by walkers and runners, and those who like walking their dogs along the path, was closed for several hours while police and the coroner investigated.

Coach pleads not guilty roger knox Morning Star Staff

The American crosscountry ski coach from Seattle, arrested in December after allegedly putting a video camera in the room of female students at Silver Star Mountain Resort, has pleaded not guilty to all 10 counts he faces. Jason Christopher Paur, 43, appeared in

Vernon Provincial Court Wednesday by video conference, and sat quietly as his lawyer, Richard Barton, entered the not guilty pleas. He has been in custody since his arrest and was denied bail last week. Paur is facing 10 counts under the Criminal Code of Canada: three counts of secretly observing/ recording nudity or sexual activity; three counts of

break-and-enter a dwelling with intent or commit; two counts of making or publishing child pornography; and one count each of accessing child pornography and possession of child pornography. The two sides will meet with the judicial case manager to fix a date for a trial, which both sides anticipate will require three court days.

Morning Star Staff

The RCMP have cut off an alleged dial-a-dope drug trafficking operation. Members of the local detachment’s targeted policing unit conducted an operation which led to the arrest Tuesday of two men in a vehicle parked in the area of 27th Street and 43rd Avenue. Police say a 40-year-old Alberta man was the passenger. He was arrested for possession of a narcotic and he was released on a promise to appear in the court. According to police, the driver was found to be in possession of numerous baggies of cocaine and heroin packaged for street-level sale. He also was found to be in possession of cash proceeds and other drug trafficking paraphernalia. The man, 26, from the Lower Mainland, was held in custody pending a scheduled court appearance Wednesday to face two counts of possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking. “This type of investigation is part of the ongoing crime reduction strategy by this unit to deal with the drugs and reduce crime in our city,” said Sgt. Dave Evans.

Citizens patrol grows The Vernon Citizens Patrol program has graduated 12 new volunteers who start patrolling Saturday. For more than 21 years, the community-based volunteer group has helped to minimize the amount of crime occurring throughout Vernon. “COP members assist the RCMP by acting as an extra set of eyes and ears while patrolling our city,” said Tanya Laing Gahr Laing Gahr, City of Vernon communications co-ordinator. Duties involve patrolling streets, business areas and parks and documenting suspicious activities before calling them into the RCMP. COP programs also include Speed Watch, Cell Watch and Lock-Out Auto Crime. “Training and safety is of the utmost importance, and volunteers undergo 12 hours of classroom instruction covering security and program interests, plus five months of patrol mentor- training,” said Laing-Gahr.

REGIONAL DISTRICT OF NORTH OKANAGAN NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Notice is hereby given that a Public Hearing will be held in the Board Room of the Regional District of North Okanagan, 9848 Aberdeen Road, Coldstream, B.C. on March 5, 2014 at 4:00 p.m. to hear representations related to the following Bylaw:

REZONING BY LAW NO. 2611, 2013

Property Location: Legal Description: Present Zoning: Proposed Zoning: Purpose:

171 Brookfield Road The South ½ of the Southwest ¼ of Sec 5, Twp 40, ODYD, Except Plan 28492 Non Urban (N.U) Country Residential (C.R) and Non-Urban (N.U) Rezone a portion of the property to potentially allow for a 2 lot plus remainder subdivision.

public concerns over the relocation of visitor services. Officials came under fire Monday when about 30 people protested closure of the existing tourist information centres and moving it to a city-owned building on 39th Avenue next to Civic Arena. “We have looked into all aspects of this and factored in everything,” said Michelle Jefferson, tourism manager. Jefferson says that a centrally located centre leads to people staying longer in a community and spending money. “Decreasing visitor numbers and centralization will permit visitor services to reallocate resources towards greater online marketing activities, engagement and promotion of our local tourist attrac-

“We have looked into all aspects.” — Jefferson

tions and amenities.” According to the city, the building on 39th Avenue was selected as an information centre because it is near restaurants, hotels and shops and the longterm goal for that area is a park. “We’re really looking forward to centralizing and encouraging people to come into the city centre,” said Jefferson. Among the concerns raised by residents Monday was the ability of vehicles to get off Highway 97 and on to 39th Avenue.

But Jefferson says there is a dedicated left-turn lane and the right-hand lane is wide enough for vehicles to make the corner. “The engineers are not foreseeing an issue and neither is the Ministry of Transportation at this time,” she said. “And we will keep an eye on things to make sure there are no issues.” Jefferson says the majority of vehicles stopping at Vernon visitor centre are cars, campers, vans and RVs under 25 feet in length.

Responsible dog ownership Bylaw After a period of public review the Regional Board has adopted the new Responsible Dog Ownership Bylaw No. 1343. Among the changes to the bylaw: a leash is defined as being no more than two meters in length; owners of dogs newly declared dangerous will be required to post signs advising a dangerous dog is on the property and increased fines for owners of dogs that are found at large, off leash in an area not designated for off-leash activity and failing to pick up and dispose of waste. The Board has maintained the two dog maximum and requested a further report regarding the proposal to allow a three dog maximum. The bylaw and information about Responsible Dog Ownership can be viewed at www.regionaldistrict.com/dogs. Zoning Bylaw amendments Proposed The Regional Board has given first reading to proposed amendments to the Zoning Bylaw No. 871. One amendment deals with housing for Temporary Migrant Farm Workers and provides more flexible options that are consistent with the Agricultural Land Commission legislation and the Province’s template for migrant farm worker housing. A Public Hearing will be scheduled and advertised for the proposed amendments to the Zoning Bylaw. An amendment regarding medical marijuana production facilities was deferred until further information is available from Health Canada and other local governments. ellison Firefighter Recognized The outstanding service and dedication of a member of the Ellison Fire Department has been recognized with a special award presentation before the Regional Board.

“Buses and other large vehicls make that (highway) turn to access Civic Arena and the sani-dump now.” Jefferson also points out that there are access concerns with the existing tourism booths. “For people turning left into Watson House (south booth), it’s kind of scary with the highway traffic and at the north booth, high speeds can be challenging while merging,” she said. As for parking at the 39th Avenue centre, Jefferson says there will be two RV spots, two accessible spots and seven standard parking spaces for visitors and staff. “RVs will be able to pull directly through the existing north lane adjacent the Civic Arena.”

Silver Star executive leaving post Morning Star Staff

Management at Silver Star Mountain Resort continues to evolve. Ian Grant, chief executive officer since 2005, is moving back to his native Australia in June to spend more time with his family. “The real highlight for me was building and working with a very strong team,” said Grant of his time at Silver Star. “The people at Silver Star are clever, talented, hardworking and are absolutely dediIan Grant cated to the resort.” Michael Sherwood recently departed as the resort’s general manager to pursue new challenges. Grant will stay on during the transition and work closely with Brad Baker, who has been appointed acting general manager. Grant will then be available for special projects as required.

“Ian helped create a very strong management team at Silver Star that is well placed to guide the resort into the future,” said Jane Cann, Silver Star president. “The management team cares passionately about creating an excellent guest experience and has absolute faith in our product. These are exciting times and we are very confident about the years ahead.” During Grant’s time at Silver Star, the resort has faced the global recession and a period of expansion, including the addition of the Silver Woods quad chair, the Alpine Meadows quad chair, Snowbird Lodge and Firelight Lodge. “We’ve expanded our operations into the summer with the construction of one of the best bike parks in B.C., we’ve created growth by providing industry innovations like the all-inclusive My1Pass and we’ve become a community partner through the support of initiatives like the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation, the Relay for Life and many more,” said Grant.

Parking in the wrong spot

A

recent letter to the editor complained about the hassle of parking in downtown Vernon. A recent article on the proposed new site of the Tourism Vernon office contained the following quote from Coun. Brian Quiring: “We need to do everything we can to bring people into the downtown core.” I happen to think the proposed location is not ideal, but I couldn’t agree more with Quiring’s comment. The problem is that Vernon council seems to want to do whatever it can to drive people out of the Katherine Mortimer downtown core. I understand that downtown parking meters are a source of revenue for the city, but is there not some way of making parking downtown a little more palatable? Up until recently, the fine for a parking ticket was $5 provided you paid it within a certain time frame. Now as annoying as that was, $5 was a lot easier to swallow than the new fine, which is $10. Add to that the fact that the meters take only quarters and loonies — you can insert a toonie, but only as a courtesy. There are a few meters just outside of the main downtown core that still take dimes and nickels, which is frankly very handy if that’s all you have. The recent experiment with the new meters downtown was deemed a failure because customers did not want to use a credit card to pay for parking. I would be happy to use my credit card as let’s face it, most of us don’t carry a lot of cash in today’s cashless society, but I think they were a failure because a person of average height could barely reach the built-for-giants meters. I’m fivefoot-seven and I could barely reach the things. But the credit card option? Loved it!

And it might be nice to offer free parking on Saturdays. This isn’t Vancouver — when back on the Coast, I have long ceased to be surprised by the cost of parking and fact that the meters must be plugged whatever the time of day. I’m someone who loves to shop downtown, as some of my favourite independently-owned businesses are there, from book stores and toy stores, to the movie theatre, to great restaurants and coffee houses. And of course, regular library patrons know that the Vernon library parking lot is the best value for money. The Downtown Vernon Association does a great job of promoting the area with terrific events like the Sunshine Festival, the Halloween Treat Trail and Christmas Light-Up. It’s a great bit of community spirit and is a way for people to get a taste of what’s there. But there are too many people who will head to other parts of town where the parking is convenient and free. Visit the downtown core on a weekday and it’s busy. Visit on a Saturday and while it’s not a ghost town, it’s not as busy as I’m sure the merchants would like it to be. On a recent Saturday visit, I ran out of quarters and overstayed my welcome. So my $3 latte cost me $13. A number of downtown merchants have organized petitions to get the city to reverse the parking fines back to the old $5 rate, and I have been happy to sign. In these tough economic times and with many of these downtown businesses independently owned and operated, it seems to me that we want to do whatever we can to support them by encouraging customers to come downtown to shop, eat or enjoy a coffee. The bylaw compliance officers are just doing their job, and I get it, but it’s time that city hall took a look at its parking policies and helped get people into the downtown core instead of driving them to the north end of town.

The statistics are alarming. Bullying is not just an occasional event. According to a report released by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Canada has the ninth highest rate of bullying in the 13 years olds category on a scale of 35 countries and at least one in three teen students reported being bullied. Also, 47 per cent of Canadian parents report having a child victim of bullying. Among adult Canadians, 38 per cent of males and 30 per cent of females reported having experienced bullying during their school years. The numbers are even worse for students who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgendered as their rate of discrimination is three times higher than heterosexual youth. Any participation in bullying increases risk of suicidal ideas in youth. Girls are more likely to be bullied on the Internet than boys. At work, 40 per cent of Canadian workers surveyed said they experienced bullying on a weekly basis. But where does the urge and the knowledge on how to be a bully come from? Children come into this world with no knowledge of hate or discrimination, and respond to affection. Children, as any parent would tell you, also learn by modelling behaviour, that is how they learn to walk and talk, proper manners, hug and cooperate and to show affection. Strategies aimed at preventing bullying and helping victims of bullying are certainly worthwhile ventures. Perhaps it is time we consider education programs for the parents of bullies. — Black Press

RULE OF LAW Given the government's conduct as of late, I am deeply troubled. I’m sure we all expect the governments we elect to be principled and to follow the rule of law. It appears as though this is not happening. I would first have written this letter to Eric Foster, our MLA, but since I believe he is also the government's whip, I am more than certain he is apprised of the following facts. In 2002, the B.C. government (Liberal) brought about Bill 28. Within Bill 28, the most active legislation concerned first removing, unilaterally, certain clauses of the teacher’s collective agreement that applied to working conditions. Another clause forbade the parties (teachers and school boards) from negotiating these issues in the future. Much the same language was used concerning B.C. health care workers, collective agreements. The heath care workers, after lengthy litigation, appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada (SCOC). In 2007, the SCOC

o the negative and naive people out there regarding the pipeline and Canadian oil, it is time you get your heads out of the sand. We need the oil. It really is a simple question. Do you want to use and sell our Canadian/Alberta oil sands, or will you just keep on buying from Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq and other countries? We are lining the pockets of these other countries with billions of dollars that we could be keeping in Canada. Supporting local oil sands will also create thousands of longterm jobs which will improve our standard of living. Please get the facts correct. In California, Pennsylvania and New York, their coal and steel mills produce more greenhouse gases and water and air pollution affecting the carbon footprint than all of Canada. Pittsburgh, alone, produces more greenhouse gases, carbon emissions and air pollution than all of Alberta. The ozone layer is not weakened by aerosol cans.

Come on people, we are not that naive. In B.C., we have had pipelines running throughout this great province since the 1950s and '60s, some of which are still in use. I do believe that our technology and engineering and knowledge of pipeline designs, construction and safety for this type of work in the new millennium far surpasses what we had for technology in the 1950s. Yes, with progress there are sacrifices to

struck down wording, much like that found in Bill 28, as unconstitutional. On April 13, 2011 the B.C. Supreme Court (BCSC) handed down a ruling that respected that of the SCOC, this time in respect to B.C. teachers. Although, “normally the result after legislation is determined by a court to be unconstitutional is that it is struck down…..when legislation is struck down it means it was never valid, from the date of its’ enactment," (Madam Justice S. Griffin, summary reasons for judgment - 2014-BCSC 121). Recognizing the difficult situation that this placed the province of B.C. in, the court suspended the judgment one year before it took effect. Presumably, this time was given to allow the BCTF and the province time to settle their issues under law. By many accounts, the province used this time, “to put such pressure on the union that it would provoke a strike by the union. The government representatives thought that this would give government the opportunity to gain

political support for imposing legislation on the union,” (Madam Justice S. Griffin, summary reasons for judgment – 2014-BCSC121). After a year and one day (April 14, 2012), the province brought about similar legislation in the form of Bill 22. The matter was again taken up by the B.C. Teachers Federation and others, before the SCBC. Madame Justice S. Griffin ruled Jan. 28, 2014 that Act 22 did not address the unlawful nature of Act 28 (2002) and ruled in favour of the BCTF, awarding it $2 million and costs. So end the facts. Well almost. The province appealed, on grounds that we are not sure of, to the B.C. Court of Appeals. Some questions for the electorate: Do we want our governments to behave this way, unlawfully? Do we want the last 20 years of education wars to continue? Do we like to see our schools continue work to rule and increasing turmoil in our school district?

you drive; what petroleum product? Is it a Canadian product, or is if from Saudi Arabia? Or some other overseas country? Or, are you, like most and prefer not to even think about it? Not think of where your food, clothing, appliances, gas and oil come from. It is the simplest thing to do – not think about where these things come from, and at what cost? The human cost, child labour, poverty wages, poor living and no medical, but who wants to think of these things? As long as you get your product into your home, that’s as far as your thinking goes. Thanks, and safe driving to all. The future is ours Canada. Let’s band together and benefit from it. Until there is a proven alternate source for fuel, oil is in. By sea, by rail, by transport and by pipeline. We tell our children to buy smart, recycle smart and think smart, yet we don’t. We have the resources and the world needs it. That is as simple as it gets. Brian Gilowski

Really, in the end, it’s all up to you. It’s your call now. Bill Dunsmore WRONG SPOT I am adding my voice to the list of others, my dismay over the decision to relocate the tourism booths. Since this decision doesn’t make sense to me, I must ask why? Is there something wrong with Watson House that will cost thousands to fix? I am sure it cost plenty to move this house to its present location. Is there something wrong with the booth at the north end of the city that will cost thousands to fix? Is anybody bothering to take note and listen to the many folks that have spoken against this move? This is why the people get totally disillusioned with government and fully expect them to go ahead and do what they want to do anyhow. It seems our voices are not being heard. I realize we elect councillors to make sound decisions on our behalf, but if the people are saying

this is the wrong decision, please listen. Pamela Montie

The Coldest Night of the Year generated a lot of warmth. The second annual fundraiser for Vernon’s Upper Room Mission raised more than $40,000 and drew about 300 participants Saturday. “For people to just show up and support the mission was amazing,” said Lisa Anderson, fundraising director. During the event, participants walked five or 10 kilometres, simulating the circumstances homeless individuals can face on a daily basis. “Some of our clients, if they can’t get into a shelter, will walk all night to keep warm,” said Anderson. “It was cold Saturday so the message really sunk in.” The $40,000 will go towards URM installing a new heating system in the building. The total price tag is about $80,000. “We have been 25 years at this location and we need to do updates to the facility,” said Anderson. “Without heat, we can’t run. Who wants to come into a freezing building?” The mission serves about 200 meals a day while also providing other programs to residents in need. “We have caseworkers and street-level workers that come in and meet with our guests,” said Anderson. Donations will still be collected until March 14 at coldestnightoftheyear.org or they can be dropped off at the Upper Room Mission at 3403 27th Ave. “We can still raise more than $40,000. It’s not over,” said Anderson. For more information, contact 250-549-1231.

Steelers ready for Heritage Classic action Morning Star Staff

For one local minor hockey team, its dream is going to become a reality. Recently, the Vancouver Canucks invited all minor hockey teams registered in B.C. to enter for a chance to play a game at Rogers Arena and attend the Heritage Classic game Sunday at B.C. Place. “When I entered our team, the Vernon Tim Hortons Steelers, into the draw I did so with little expectation of being successful. This type of contest would be hotly contested so I didn’t want to get my hopes up,” said head coach Trevor Seibel. “However, when I got the call from the Vancouver Canucks last Friday, I could barely contain my excitement! I also knew what an experience this would be for our group.” The Steelers were one of 14 teams selected out of more than 1,500 entries to participate in Minor Hockey Weekend. The Steelers will travel to Vancouver to take on the Mission Mind Craft in

an exhibition game at Rogers Arena Saturday. Then, on Sunday, the team will be taking in the Heritage Classic game between the Canucks and Ottawa Senators. “I sat the kids down and shared with them what we had won and what we were going to be doing this coming weekend,” said Seibel. “The excitement, cheering and smiles will be something that I won’t soon forget. It was a very special moment for our players, the coaching staff and the families. “We have chartered a bus and will be bringing along as many of the family members of the team that we can fit.” The game is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Saturday and family and friends are invited to watch.

Lumby Stars play at Rogers Arena Morning Star Staff

The Lumby Stars will take the spotlight from the Vancouver Canucks today. The Pee Wee Stars will take over the ice during the intermission at Rogers Arena during the Canucks’ home game against the Minnesota Wild. “The Lumby Pee Wee Stars have been selected as one of 10 minor hockey teams to be given the opportunity to skate in a mini minor game during the intermission of a Vancouver Canucks home game this 2013-2014 season,” said Sherry Kineshanko, with Kineshanko the Lumby Minor Hockey Association. The Stars won this chance of a lifetime through the Canucks Centre for B.C. Minor Hockey and its collaboration with B.C. Hockey and Charter Bus Lines of B.C. These organizations work in partnership to allow minor hockey players and coaches the chance to participate in events which support their growth and development. Through numerous programs over the course of the season, the Canucks Centre for B.C. Hockey and B.C. Hockey work to promote fair play, integ-

rity and sportsmanship with players and volunteers provincewide. The Stars entered the contest in November after it lost an away tournament opportunity and was unsuccessful in trying to fill it. It found the contest the night before the application deadline and hoped for the best. “Never did they imagine their prayers would be answered and they would be selected,” said Kineshanko. The whole team, players, coaches and parents are extremely excited about the whole opportunity they have been given which includes playing an inter team game during the first intermission, complimentary tickets to watch the game, a tour of the Rogers Arena facility, not to mention a chartered bus ride right from their home rink directly to Rogers Arena and back which is what the players are equally excited about to do true road trip team bonding. “It is the best experience imaginable for kids that love Canada’s favorite pasttime and the opportunity of a lifetime,” said Kineshanko. The Stars are also bringing a well respected referee from the association to be the on-ice official during the mini game so individuals from all levels of the game from Lumby Minor Hockey will be represented.

Already feeling distraught and embarrassed by their futile effort, the Vernon Vipers didn’t get any further humiliation from their coaches Wednesday night in Trail. Instead, they were simply told to shower and be on the bus home in 15 minutes. After posting gutsy home wins over the Penticton Vees and the Salmon Arm SilverBacks, the Vipers blew a 5-1 lead and lost 6-5 to the Smoke Eaters before 700 B.C. Hockey League fans at Cominco Arena. The last-place Smokies had lost a dozen straight and dressed just 13 skaters, but found a way to erase a 5-1 first-period deficit for their 10th win of the season. “You could hear a pin drop on the bus,” said Vipers’ associate coach Kris Mallette. “We were taking shortcuts like crazy and our systems went out the window. Even when we built the 5-1 lead, it wasn’t like we were doing anything great. Their goalie, Dustin (Nikkel), was having a rough game and we got some lucky, fortuitus bounces. “It was borderline comical, only in that there should have been some penalties called on them. But, had we stuck to some structure, we would have been fine. They have nobody to blame but themselves. Our penalty kill was atrocious, our powerplay was atrocious and our defence was atrocious.” The Vipers, who have locked up third place in the Interior Division, finish the regular season Saturday night in Merritt versus the Centennials. Vernon rested captain Ryan Renz, who is nursing a lowerbody injury, and gave forward TJ Dumonceaux the green light to deal with a family matter in Kelowna.

Snakes, Stars stop Coyotes Morning Star Staff

Third place in the regular season, the Vernon Seed Orchard Snakes are making a serious bid for the North Okanagan Midget Super Hockey League playoff title. The Snakes (11-6-1) are 3-0 going into Saturday round-robin play in Enderby after upsetting league champion Nedco Coyotes 7-2 and bouncing Blackburn Excavating of Salmon Arm 8-2. Chris Gallant fought off the flu and pocketed 1+4 as the Snakes surprised the desert dogs Saturday afternoon at Kal Tire Place. Jeff Hiscoe, Liam Semeniuk, Landon Munk and Tim Ufimtseff also scored. Chase Larsen and Nikolai Negraiff anchored a stingy back end. Brett Jewell and Aaron Keryluke replied for the 16-1-1 Coyotes. Munk skated miles and pocketed 4+2 as the Snakes smothered Salmon Arm Sunday night at Civic Arena. Hiscoe, who had his rocket shot working from the point, exploded for 3+3 and Adam Fenske had a single. The second-place Lumby Stars (12-6) are also in the chase after finishing 3-1 in the round-robin. The Stars got 3+2 from slick Kyle Weston as they ambushed the Vernon Athentic Trophy & Plaque Autobots 8-2 Tuesday night at Pat Duke Memorial Arena. Calvin Tourand, Zach Kuperus, Logan Meier, Shale Miller and Jack O’Neil supplied singles, while Wyatt Warnes earned three helpers in support of Jake Holland. Kristian Currie and Jene Desjarlais answered for the Autobots. Sponsored by Irly Bird Building Centre Lumby and R.J. Schunter Contracting, the Stars lost their opener to the Snakes before stopping the visiting Coyotes 6-5 Sunday and outlasting Salmon Arm 7-5 Monday. Kuperus (2), Weston (1+2), Connor Fair, Tourand and Warnes handled the offence against Nedco with Reid Hackett yielding two assists. Nik Wasylyk (2), Jewell, Austin Derkach and Keryluke replied for Nedco, who got

two assists from Jakob Alexis. The Autobots toppled Salmon Arm 3-1 Saturday at the Shaw Centre on goals from Currie, Josh Lerbeck and Isaiah Wenger. The inaugural Spirit of Bradley Haslam Friends & Family Memorial Tournament was a huge success Saturday in Lumby. There was a silent auction and lots of fun hockey with longtime referee Rob Edwards winning the Youth-Sport-Community, presented by Kevin Porteous of Lumby minor hockey. Haslam was a popular Midget player who died, at age 18, in an industrial accident last June. He was a leader with a magnetic personality.

Corbett Office Plus Sharks were 3-0 going into Thursday night play versus the second-place Bruins in Winfield. Brennan Schwark pulled the hat trick as the Sharks erased an early 2-0 deficit and iced the Five Star Awards Bulldogs 5-3 Tuesday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. Jake Pelletier and Branden Lehoux counted singles for the Sharks (18-0), while Chris Moore, Darius Stone and Miles Wohlford replied for the Bulldogs (11-6-1). Isaac Waldemaras stopped Schwark on a first-period penalty shot, while Reece Hawthorne blocked a number of Shark breakaways. Riley Bos and d-man Tyson Sampert each pocketed two snipes as the Sharks iced the DCT Marauders 7-3 Sunday at Civic. Sean Howard, Nick Mitchell and Seb Wenger, on a sweet deke, completed the Corbett scoring. Landon Currie, Aaron Botterill and Sam Frisby countered for DCT. Schwark and Mitchell scored 23 seconds

apart as the Sharks rallied to clip the Interior Savings Giants 6-5 Saturday morning at Kal Tire Place. Schwark, who finished with 2+1, took a feed from Howard and buried the winner with a minute left. Mitchell netted the equalier 23 seconds earlier, from Schwark and Lehoux. Howard, Lehoux and Kevin Sullivan had the other Shark goals. The fifth-place Giants (8-10) built up a 4-1 second-period lead, getting sensational goaltending from Dylan Blazek and stingy defence from Tyler Semeniuk and Noah Debalinhard. Semeniuk (2), Brendan Horsfield, Jed Halvorson and Keefer Kaempf had the Giant snipes. The Cougars defeated the Bruins 4-3 Sunday at Nor-Val. Talon Williams, Reece Schroeder, on a coast-to-coast rush, Maguire Dickinson and Moore, with the winner off a gorgeous feed by Kaylan Lawrence, handled the Cougar attack.

Cents knock out SilverBacks Continued from A18

NHL-rated forward Demico Hannoun remains on injured reserve. “Welcome to Trail’s world,” said Mallette. “Their 13 guys outworked us. The only good thing is we can’t dwell on this because we have to be ready for Merritt.” Michael Statchuk, 2:11 into the tilt, and Dexter Dancs, 75 seconds later, put the Vipers in front. Liam Coughlin upped the lead 21 seconds later before Bryan Basilico replied for the Smokies a minute after. Just 31 seconds later, Logan Mick made it 4-1 Vernon with Michael McNicholas completing the Viper offence with four minutes left in the period. The Smokies got powerplay snipes from Basilico and Scott Davidson, 1:30 apart, late in the second period to make things interesting. Zane Schartz, at 2:54, and Davidson, with four minutes remaining, on another powerplay, levelled the score. Braeden Cross counted the winner with

2:47 to play. Dancs added three assists and will likely take Player of the Month for the Vipers. Brendan Persley pocketed two helpers. Nikkel was pulled after Mick’s goal and replaced by Adam Todd, who made 26 saves. Austin Smith took the loss with 31 stops. The Cents grabbed the fourth and final Interior playoff berth by bouncing the visiting SilverBacks 5-1 Wednesday night before 875 fans. Jeff Wight, a projected NHL draft, scored twice and ex-Viper d-man Jason Bird had a single for the Cents. Salmon Arm will will finish fifth.

Viper grad Cory Kane, a senior with Ferris State Bulldogs, is the Western Collegiate Hockey Association offensive player of the week after getting 2+5 in a two-game conference sweep of Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves.

The Marauders opened the playoffs with a Saturday doubleheader, beginning in Winfield with a 7-5 loss. Cam Mackenzie, Evan Winther, Cole Martin, Currie and Botterill scored for the Marauders, who rebounded to stop the Giants 6-4 Saturday at Civic. Martin pulled a hat trick, including the clinching goal into an empty net. Goalie Noah Foufoulas preserved the lead with a sliding glove save off forward Ryan Lazar with three minutes remaining. Jim Brodoway, Currie and Frisby had the other goals for the Marauders. Kaiden Parton, Jaden Steinke, Semenuik, on a power play, and Halvorson scored for the Giants. The Marauders wrap up the playoff round-robin Saturday in Winfield against the Cougars, while the Giants visit Winfield. The Midget final goes Monday night at 7:30 at Kal Tire Place with the Bantam final set for the same night and time, at Civic.

Lumby Pee Wees ready for NHL tilt Morning Star Staff

They play at Rogers Arena tonight during an intermission of the Vancouver CanucksMinnesota Wild hockey game. Before boarding the bus this morning, the Stars tied the firstplace North Okanagan #1 Knights 2-2 Monday night after icing the red-hot North Okanagan #2 Knights 3-2 and outlasting the Bannister Chev Heat 8-6 in weekend Pee Wee Super Hockey League playoff action. Sponsored by Green Velvet Lawn and Tree Care and Kineshanko Logging, the secondplace Stars have proven that no matter what challenges are put in their way, hard work and teamwork can prevail. After losing their goaltender Michael Preston to a concussion, losing top spot on a tiebreaker formula and having a short bench of 10 due to the flu bug and injury, forward Josh Litven stepped up and went in net to stop the #2 Knights Saturday morning. The Stars went on the board first in the first period on a scorching point goal by Tanner Franje Gilbert, who took a beautiful feed from Morgan Holland.

D-man-turned-forward Payton Kineshanko pressured the Knights’ defence with linemate Rory Campbell, who was playing with a broken toe. Centre Tage Kineshanko scored at 2:09 of the third on a close backhand that went up and over the goaltender. Drew Mackenzie drew the assist. The Knights answered just 30 seconds later to level the score at 1:30 of the third period. Rallying together, the exhausted Stars dug deep and with the faceoff in the Knights’ end, Tage Kineshanko unleashed a hard shot on net with Franje Gilbert burying the rebound with 8.9 seconds remaining. It was just the boost the Stars needed to carry them into Sunday’s game versus the fifth-place Heat with forward Matt Yaremcio volunteering to play goal. Mackenzie supplied five goals, while Tage Kineshanko added 1+4, Rory Campbell pocketed 1+2 and Litven also scored in front of a solid Yaremcio.

Pleasant Valley grad Ella Brown, now at SFU, won a silver medal Saturday in the triple jump at her first Great Northwest Athletic Conference Indoor Championships in Nampa, Idaho. Brown received All-Conference honours by jumping 11.18 metres. SFU competes in NCAA Division II track. “Ella didn’t compete indoors when she was in high school, so for her to win the silver medal at her first Indoor Conference Championships as a freshman is quite an impressive accomplishment,” said Vernon AAA Track Club coach Ian Cameron.

“I can tell you, the coaches at SFU are rather excited to have Ella on the team.” As a member of the Vernon track club, Brown won bronze and gold in long jump and triple jump at the B.C. High School Championships last year. The SFU men’s distance medley relay team won as Travis Vugteveen (Chilliwack), Dan Kelloway (Mount Pearl, NL), Cameron Proceviat (Burnaby) and James Young (Surrey) posted a 10:07.79, edging Western Washington. Mercedes Rhode (Saskatoon) scored points in the women’s long jump competition, coming sixth with a final distance of 5.29 metres.

Knights level series with Summerland

Games’ golds Morning Star Staff

Brendan Yakura of the Vernon Judo Club struck gold at the B.C. Winter Games in Mission. Yakura, 13, was promoted to blue belt the night before the Games, and went on to win four matches, two against older brown belts. Yakura prepared for the Games by placing second at both the Vancouver International and the Steveston Pacific International events. He trains once a week in Kelowna under the teachings of Kathy Hubble, a San Dan/Masters world champion and six-time national champion. The coaches for Zone 2 Thompson Okanagan at the Winter Games were Kathy Hubble and Monica Gignac. Also competing at the Games for Vernon Judo club was Dallin Houston, who was looking at medalling until he injured his knee. Kauner Jones faced stiff matches and finished fifth, while Haley Timmerman

Meanwhile, Karleigh Meier, 14, of Vernon pocketed two gold medals in archery at the Winter Games. Meier took gold for the two-day aggregate where they combine the scores out of a possible 1,200 points, and another gold for headto-head match play between the top four shooters. Vernon’s Courtney MacDonald took silver in slopestyle skiing, not Elena Gaskell, as reported Wednesday. Results on the B.C. Games’ website were incorrect.

The North Okanagan Knights were asked to shoot the puck more and pay attention to defensive assignments in Game 2 of their playoff series with the Summerland Steam. The youthful Knights responded to both requests and more as they smothered the Steam before 200 fans Wednesday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre in Armstrong. Summerland, who won the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League Okanagan Division title, finishing 20 points ahead of the Knights, took the best-of-seven series opener 3-2 Tuesday night at home. “We had 17 shots in the whole game down there and we had 15 in the first period of Game 2,” said North Okanagan head coach Shawn Webb. “We were trying to be too pretty in the first game. The other difference was our physical play in Game 2 and we were more patient when we had the puck.” Vernon’s Blaine Caton, who signed last week with the BCHL Vipers for next season, finished with 3+1 in Wednesday’s win. He was on a line wirth Brett Hawrys and TJ Christensen. “Caton scored two beautiful goals off the halfwall. He found a seam and went top shelf.” Salmon Arm product Logan Mostat, who has been summoned by the BCHL SilverBacks seven times, also pulled the hat trick. Mostat took some sweet feeds from linemates Dennon Leibel and Morgan Johnston and finished off the rush.

Johnston and Ryan Kelm had the other Knights’ goals, while Dylan Burton, Rylan Sideroff and Daylan Robertson replied for the Steam, all on the powerplay. D-man Ryley Booth bagged three assists for the Knights. The Knights chased starter Brett Huber after Caton made it 6-2 late in the second period. Zach Dyment went the distance in both games for the Knights. In Game 1 before 225 fans, the Steam went up 2-0 midway through the second period on snipes by Burton and Reid Brown. Matt Halvorson and Tanner Burns replied in the final two minutes to equalize. Blake Culbert drew two assists. Olli Dickson netted the winner at 5:44 of the third period, on the powerplay. The Knights, who lost the season series to Summerland 5-3, have held Division MVP and rookie of the year Kienan Scott pointless. Game 3 goes tonight in Summerland with the fourth game Saturday night in Armstrong. Game 5 is Sunday in Summerland. Webb will again ask his troops to stick to the system. “They play a very similar style to ours. We’ve gotta move the puck out of our zone, get them to turn it over in the neutral zone, and attack.” The Osoyoos Coyotes are up 2-0 on the Kelowna Chiefs after posting 5-2 and 5-0 victories in the other Okanagan Division series. Kelowna finished second, seven points up on the Coyotes.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Don’t try so hard. It isn’t necessary to go to extreme lengths to gain the approval of your colleagues. Your kindness, generosity and compassion will create a favorable impression. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) R e c re a t i o n and entertainment are the order of the day. Romance, travel, or interesting pastimes will generate excitement. Put mundane activities on hold for the time being. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) There are many places where your talents can be put to good use. Make others aware of your capabilities by confidently presenting what you have to offer. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Even if you are happy with life, new and rewarding experiences are worth checking out. Take advantage of opportunities that promise to broaden your horizons and indulge your curiosity. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Take steps to cultivate beneficial partnerships, deal with unsatisfying financial matters and initiate new strategies for moving forward. You need a concrete agenda and decisive action to get what you want. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Use a confident and direct approach in all your affairs today. Be assertive when asking for what you want. Sitting back quietly and hoping for results will accomplish nothing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) It’s a good day to reassess your love life and family relationships. If you are not

satisfied, now is the time to make a positive change. Consider the needs of others as well as your own. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You’ll become irritated and upset over minor issues. Rather than allowing yourself to become distraught over small details, bite your tongue and save your energies for more important matters. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Put your worries on the back burner. Disagreements, work and problems with meddlers will lead to bitterness. Get outside to remind yourself of the beauty of nature. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have good ideas and should plan to move forward. The encouragement you receive will help you reach your destination. Strive for success and share your victory with loved ones. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) You may have been neglecting your selfimprovement goals. Engage in some pleasurable physical activity, and you will be rewarded with better health, renewed energy and a sense of fulfillment.

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.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder DO NOT BE LEFT HIGH AND DRY Nathan Myhrvold is a multitalented person. He used to be the chief technology officer at Microsoft, is cofounder of Intellectual Ventures, and is the principal author of “Modernist Cuisine.” When discussing planning ahead, he said, “Fail to meet your responsibilities at work, and you get fired. Ignore your car’s gas gauge, and you get stranded.” If you don’t watch your entries, you may get stranded -- as the original declarer did in this deal. South was in four hearts. West led the diamond ace: five, nine, three. Next, West cashed the diamond king: eight, six, jack. Then, West continued with the

diamond queen. What should declarer have done now? South seems to have numerous winners: one spade, six hearts and six clubs. What could possibly go wrong? Despite having seen East play high-low to show a doubleton, declarer ruffed the third diamond on the board. East overruffed and accurately shifted to the spade queen. South won with dummy’s ace, but suddenly realized that he was stranded on the board. He could not get back to his hand to draw trumps without conceding a spade trick, which would have been his fourth loser. Even playing on clubs could not have helped, unless East had started with all six missing hearts and at least three clubs.

Too late, declarer realized that he should have discarded from the dummy at trick three. Even if West had switched to a spade, South could have won on the board, drawn trumps, and run the clubs. Have you ever run out of gas? Have you ever run out of entries? If so, you have lots of company, including me.

The CSRD study is going to look at options for road rescue and its potential costs throughout the region. “There is a general trend to move away from societies to fire departments providing that service, so that is one of the things we will be look at,” Darcy Mooney, operations manager, told the board.

Columbia-Shuswap Regional District directors are wading into the political minefield that involves their own wallets. The board has unanimously agreed to review the current remuneration bylaw, including the method of payment to the elected directors. Director Rhona Martin said there was significant discussion at the committee level about the issue and how remuneration rates compare with other regional districts. The ability of political boards to set salary rates can often pose a conundrum for politicians, who may not want to be seen as voting themselves a raise, which comes from taxpayer dollars. Currently, CSRD directors are paid in a variety of ways. The CSRD chair earns $23,114 per year in addition to the $11,128 which is the remuneration collected by all of the directors of

the board. Electoral area directors are also compensated $4,576 per year for travel costs. Directors are also paid to attend a variety of meetings, including CSRD board meetings,

at a rate of $188 per meeting. Other, more localized meetings, are paid out at a rate of $59 per meeting. CSRD directors are also paid to attend conventions, includ-

ing the Union of B.C. Municipalities, at a rate of $188 per day including travel time to and from the event. Mileage costs are also paid out to directors at a rate of 15 cents per kilometre.

Tardis sightings abound RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

A time-travelling doctor has been using a policeman’s call box for decades, and now Vernonites can catch a glimpse. Will Munton has constructed an eight-foot high replica of the tardis used in the Dr. Who TV series and it’s being moved to a variety of local locations. “You could also follow it along on Facebook,” he said of the fundraiser and interactive treasure hunt. “I’m trying to mimic the program’s use of the box where it comes and goes at random times.” The box will be auctioned off at Junior Chamber International’s gala April 12 and the funds will go to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation. But while there is a fundraising goal, the tardis is also the focus of a game in which the key to the doors must be found. “Each time, the Blue Box appears, it will be photographed and that photograph will provide a clue as to where the key might be found,” said Munton. “The person that submits the key’s correct location, via the message function on Project Blue Box’s Facebook site, will be offered the opportunity to draw for the key out of a bowl of keys at the Vernon Dragon Boat Festival Aug. 16.” Along with JCI, Munton has received support from the Best Western Vernon Lodge and the Vernon Arts Centre. The City of Vernon has been approached about possibly moving the tardis between locations throughout the year.

Donation saves pet’s lives Morning Star Staff

Pets will be given a chance to survive during Lake Country house fires. The Canadian Disaster Animal Response Team has presented pet oxygen mask kits to the Lake Country Fire Department. “These oxygen masks are an asset to the community, ensuring fire trucks are even better equipped to assist in the rescue of family pets and animals in the event of a fire or emergency,” said Petra Leinemann, CDART Okanagan public information officer. The Central Okanagan chapter of CDART pur-

chased a number of the pet oxygen mask kits in 2013, as a result of various fundraising efforts, and has been presenting them to Okanagan fire departments. CDART’s mission is to provide emergency services for domestic animals in the event of a disaster, to train volunteers so they can provide emergency shelter and rescue for domestic animals when responding during a disaster, and to raise funds for supplies, medical treatment for animals, training costs and expenses incurred by volunteers during a disaster.

Bryan Adams lays it bare Vernon is only one of two communities in Interior to get a visit from the legendary rocker

N

ame a song, he played it. Bryan Adams did not disappoint fans at his long awaited Bare Bones Tour, which stopped at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Tuesday. The celebrated Canadian rocker tore a few pages out of his three-decade, 16-album song book, playing hit after hit Kristin Froneman in a stripped-down acoustic performance to a full auditorium. “It’s great to be here,” the 54-year-old said, addressing the fact that he had never played in the intimate 750-seat theatre before. “But at my age, it’s great to be anywhere.” Donned in a Dickensian top hat, which he removed in gentlemanly fashion, Adams launched into his 1984 hit Run to You, played just as effectively on acoustic guitar as the original electric version. The antithesis of an aging rocker, his voice was spot on. His famous rasp sounded as clear as his Reckless days 30 years before, and it did not waver from start to finish two hours later. Adams also emulated Neil Young, playing his acoustic guitar and harmonica on songs such as Back to You, also introducing his “band,” pianist Gary Breit, an enigmatic performer himself. Addressing the audience by the fourth song, Adams did what most Canadians do to break the ice, he spoke about the weather. He pointed out a headline he had read in Winnipeg, where he started the western leg of the tour, on how it is currently colder there than Mars. He also spoke about the idea for the tour, named after his 2010 album, Bare Bones. “We wanted to take the songs from 30 years ago and present them in their smallest format... We’ll do as many songs as I can remember,” he said before asking Breit

ConCert review

to help him figure out the solo to Here I Am. Breit was especially effective in fleshing out Adams’ love ballads that had a few in the estrogen-heavy crowd swooning. Together they created an intimate setting for Here I Am, Heaven, I Finally Found Someone (originally recorded with Barbra Streisand), and All for Love, the latter where Adams teased the audience when he introduced Rod Stewart and Sting to no avail. A lothario without really trying, Adams dedicated the song to “Kelly and her husband,” out in the audience, after Kelly volunteered to dance to the sexy, blues jam, If Ya Wanna Be Bad (Ya Gotta Be Good). From there on, Adams had the audience in the palm of his hand. Sitting spitting distance away, as he put it, the crowd filled in whenever Adams encouraged a hand clap or back-up singer. Whether tapping on his microphone to set the beat or leaving a gap in the chorus, the audience followed his every move, joining in harmoniously to This Time, Can’t Stop this Thing We Started and Summer of ‘69, where after, Adams tossed his guitar pick to a kid in the front row. It’s likely framed now. The same reaction came from Cuts Like a Knife, which Adams introduced as one of the songs he wrote with Jim Vallance that launched him out of small sh***y clubs into bigger sh***y clubs.” A request from the audience for 18 Til I Die was met with an enthusiastic response from the ageless rocker. Adams was especially charming when waxing nostalgic about his youth; the time he urged his mom to get out of the small Burnaby apartment the family shared when he was starting out in music, going on to rent a $400 house in Kitsilano after the owner recognized Adams from playing a showcase with him at the CBC. He also spoke about buying his first record, by Janis Joplin, while living in Portugal where his army officer father was stationed, before launching into Kris Kristofferson’s Help Me Make it Through the Night, a cover that suited his voice. Then there was the song When You Love Someone, which helped Adams connect with Kenny Rogers, who covered it, but unfortunately not with Sandra Bullock, who starred in the film Hope Floats, where it was featured. And in another twist of fate, one of the

Gothic tale told in Nevermore Edmonton’s Catalyst Theatre brings Nevermore: The Imaginary Life and Mysterious Death of Edgar Allen Poe to Vernon and his works are still read today, the details of his life are shrouded in mystery. “The line between fact and fiction, dreams and reality, life and death has always been blurry in the work of Poe. This was also the case in his life,” said writer, director and composer Jonathan Christenson, who as artistic director with Edmonton’s Catalyst Theatre is bringing Poe’s life and words to the stage in the award-winning production, Nevermore: The Imaginary Life And Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe.

Theatre’s masterfully crafted musical fairytale that explores Poe’s tragic tale and the events that ignited his lifelong obsession with visions, both dark and sinister. “It unfolds according to the logic of dreams, where the lines between his life and his work remain fluid and where, as Poe himself said, ‘all that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream,’” said Christenson. Born in 1809 and orphaned at three, Poe was surrounded by death from an early age. While he achieved great success with publications such as The Raven, and short stories as The TellTale Heart, Poe’s life was plagued by poverty, alcoholism, and the deaths of loved ones. He died at the age of 40 after being found delirious and alone in the streets of Baltimore. While his death has been attributed to many causes, ranging from

alcoholism to tuberculosis, the actual cause of his death is unknown. It is known that while Poe was alive he deliberately re-created himself, revising the details of his youth or painting himself as an adventurer, said Christenson. “Sometimes others reinvented him, as his arch-rival Rufus Griswold did when he wrote his own slanderous biography. And sometimes – not so deliberately – he was tormented by nightmarish hallucinations and haunted by memories that were no less real to him than the fact of his existence,” said Christenson. It’s also difficult to read Poe’s work today without hearing echoes of his own tragic life. “It’s equally tempting to believe his tales and poems offer insight into the man himself. It remains impossible, though, to ever know his full story,” said

Christenson, “In the end, he will always, to some degree, be someone we create in our own imaginations – a mixture of fact and fiction.” No stranger to horror, having produced Frankenstein in 2008, which toured to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre, Catalyst created Nevermore in 2009. Since its creation, the company has performed the play throughout North America and on Broadway in 2010. The production is praised for its haunting score, surreal visuals, and poetic storytelling. It won seven Elizabeth Sterling Haynes awards in 2009 and two Betty Mitchell awards in 2011. Tickets are $45 for adults, $42 for seniors and $40 for students and are on sale now through the Ticket Seller box office at 250-549-7469 or online at www.ticketseller.ca.

Arts Camino documentary features local pilgrims

When Wayne Emde of Vernon and Jack Greenhalgh, of Kelowna, set off to walk the 800 kilometres of the ancient pilgrim path that winds its way across northern Spain, they had no idea they would be featured in a film that Martin Sheen calls, “a brilliant documentary.” Walking the Camino - Six Ways to Santiago follows six pilgrims as they make their way to Santiago de Compostela, where the bones of St. James are believed to be buried. “The year before, I had walked a 1,200 kilometre Buddhist pilgrimage in Japan with my son, Jason,” said Emde. “When I told Jack about it, he replied that for 35 years, it had been his dream to walk the Camino. I didn’t know anything about the Camino, but if Jack wanted to walk it, I’d go along.” The two friends met years ago at the Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre, where Greenhalgh was the senior padre and Emde, the public affairs officer. Greenhalgh performed the funeral service for Emde’s wife, Joan, and backyard weddings for sons Jason and Curtis. Greenhalgh, a retired Anglican priest and former dean of St. Michael’s Cathedral in Kelowna, has been intrigued by the act of pilgrimage and particularly the Camino for many years. He is also a student of medieval church architecture. “I have always been fascinated by the audacious phenomenon of pilgrimage,” he said.

“What it was, why people did it, as well as its practice and customs over 1,000 years of history. Since the 10th century, a continuous stream of people from all over Europe and elsewhere in the world including peasants and paupers, kings and nobles, knights and artisans, popes and monks and modern-day adventurers have risked everything just to walk to the tomb of St. James in the northern Spanish city of Santiago.” Greenhalgh thinks the answer might lie in the various social and reform movements of the Middle Ages that produced among other things, “those magnificent Gothic cathedrals that now attract modern day tourists. I had to find out for myself.” On their climb up the Pyrenees on the first day, the two men noticed one of the three videographers that producer Lydia Smith of Portland had recruited, kneeling and filming a snail crossing the path. The next day, at a rest stop, they watched as the crew interviewed Annie, the only pilgrim who had been recruited before the project was launched. “We chatted for a bit with the crew, and they asked us if we wanted to be part of their project. We were hesitant at first because we had no idea what their approach might be, what spin they would put on the journey. But we figured we could bail out at any time, so we signed on,” said Emde. For the next five weeks, the two, along with a dozen other pilgrims, were filmed as they walked, ate, lit candles in churches, and slowly made their way across Spain. “They were looking for a mix of pilgrims,” said Emde. “During the editing process, they focused on six of us. We were the old guys.” The film has won prizes at

Arts Voisine reaches for pop music gold roch Voisine: My Very Best

A Canadian singer Roch Voisine delivers class on his latest album, the retrospective My Very Best.

nd he’s not mincing words here, either. The understated singer/songwriter Roch Voisine proves his weight in pop music gold by laying out many classy pop-rock hits on his retrospective. The AcadianCanadian (he’s from New Brunswick) has a David Foster-approved slickness that’s bal-

anced with an undeniable sincerity. Voisine’s appeal is his believability, in how he mixes big emotions with cinematic drama and makes it OK. He sounds like he likes his gig – Kissing Rain proves that. Voisine’s voice and music are refined and tastefully scripted – no questions marks – and he delivers on the promise of pop-rock grandeur, done radiofriendly guilty-pleasure style. Although some of his tracks can approach the vibe of a high quality infomercial, like his Olympic anthem Living Out My Dreams, he’s got a golden ear for craftsmanship and a heart-tugging melody. There are many songs on My Very Best that feature this openhearted lyrical personality (St. Anne of the Wild Blue Eyes, Higher).

Voisine’s vocal character runs along the lines of fellow Canucks Anne Murray and Amy Sky. The similarity lies in the honest and solid character that’s visualized by Voisine’s songs – they have the reserve and held-in-check presentation that’s lacking in some of his stateside contemporaries. It’s partly a polite shade of folk-rock but most of all its melodramatic radio-pop rock. Voisine proves he’s got an ear for the ring of a clear guitar and blue melodies (Higher, Life’s a Beach) that are carved-in stone hooks. He dims the light on By Myself, but this makes the song simpler and more appealing. There’s a left turn here and it’s an odd one. Collaboration king Carlos Santana hooks up with Voisine on a cover of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ hit, Under the Bridge, which sounds off kilter, Latin and unexpected. But who can take the listener out of a condominium to a rocky ledge overlooking a wind-whipped moor? Voisine can because he sings like he’s standing on the bow of the Titanic with his arms outstretched. Restaurants. Recipes. Entertainment. It’s here.

Students Alexa Harwood-Jones (second left), Kendra Racine, Jennifer Adams, Alabama Chevrier, Mayumi Comley, Rachel Yamada Romano, Kristen Morgan, Kate Curtis, Finn Deschner, Uzair Shahid and Bailey Morin with the Seaton Rotary Interact Club join Christine Parsons of Partners in the Horn of Africa and Kal Rotary liaison Andy Erickson as they donate $1,800 to feed students at Jimma Scholarship House in Ethiopia.

Interact Club makes a difference Cara Brady Morning Star Staff

W.L. Seaton Rotary Interact Club students find it’s a great way to make friends and to help make a difference to their school, the community and the world. “I joined when I was in Grade 9 and it has made all the difference to my high school experience,” said club president Rachel Romano who is now in Grade 12. “I like that the club is composed of students who have a common sense of commitment to making things better. It has been pretty empowering.” Kate Curtis, vice-president, who is also in Grade 12, is in her first year in the club. “I wish I had joined in Grade 8. I have always been in leadership in some way but the year I graduate, I want to have the biggest impact I can. We see the various needs that there are at home and internationally and choose which ones we can help with. We are having the Tides of Change, collecting change for disaster relief in the Philippines, and in May we have our annual

Music Marathon, a very popular event with local talent that helps War Child.” The Rotary Interact Club is sponsored by the Kalamalka Rotary Club but is run by the student members who can ask Rotary members for advice as needed. “The club gives young people an opportunity to make a difference, to help make the world a better place,” said Andy Erickson, a former teacher and Kalamalka Rotary Club member who is the school liaison. “The students decide the goals. One of them was to help 10 girls in Ethiopia with housing and food so they could go on to high school in a larger centre after they finished school in their village. Providing education and opportunities for women is empowering women around the world. The students in the club are amazing and they assign themselves high goals for helping others.” Romano said that while the club thinks big, it also takes notice of what is needed in the school like recycling cans and bottles.

Jimma Scholarship House is home to 10 young women from rural areas around Jimma, Ethiopia who wouldn’t otherwise be able to pursue a high school education. This project is supported by the Kal Rotary Club and its affiliated Interact Club at Seaton school. “The club is open to all students and we find that once people start they like it and don’t leave. It helps you get to know people in other grades and get along and work together,” she said. Curtis encourages students to get involved. “We are always open to new ideas and it’s a good way to

learn to be organized and do good work. It is a really cool part of Rotary,” she said. “We do as much as we can. We are asking the Upper Room Mission if there is any way that we could help there.” The club recently made several donations to local and international charitable organizations.

Songs of Solomon. 4:12: “A garden inclosed is... my spouse.” A garden is the epitome of organized beauty and productiveness and fruitfulness and new life, and is a perfect type of the glorified bride. An area is carefully selected for site and favourable conditions separated, marked off, protected with a wall or fence, levelled, soil tested, enriched, broken up, worked over, sown, watered, weeded, tended, sprayed, pruned to bring forth an abundance of beauty of sight and smell.

from around the world are just a few of the many highlights at this year’s Body & Soul Wellness Fair this weekend. The fair runs Saturday and Sunday at the Vernon Recreation Centre and features 69 exhibitors from all areas of health and wellness. The brainchild of local musician Chris Madsen and graphic d e s i g ne r / m arke t i ng consultant Ashleigh Magill, the fair got its start a little more than 10 years ago while Madsen was meditating at Cosens Bay. “I was visioning that all of Vernon and the Okanagan was now being filled with a beautiful healing energy,” he said. “I sent this healing energy to every being in our community.

Co-founder Ashleigh Magill is looking forward to this weekend’s Body & Soul Wellness Fair, along with Marcel Mallette of Mountain Acupuncture & Laser Therapy. us has emotional, physical and/or spiritual aspects of our life that can be more vibrant and whole. “After the meditation I had a coffee at Portillo’s with Ashleigh Magill about the blessing just done. We spoke of how attached to every problem is both opportunity and a solution. The problem often lay in not knowing what the solution is, particularly when it comes to healing. We also discussed how within the

collective body of the community there were a great deal of solutions to these problems. Yet, one of the greatest problems lay in that many who are hurting don’t have a clue about solutions for themselves and those they love. “Our natural state is vibrant thriving lives filled with joy, anything less than that is an area to focus on.” From that meditation and conversation, the Body & Soul Wellness Fair was born.

Madsen said the community has fully embraced the fair, which has sold out each year, with the free admission drawing a great attendance. Visitors can expect booths ranging from physical healing such as acupuncture, chiropractic, massage and reiki, to skincare, spiritual healing and psychic readings. There is vegan and other foods, detoxification, weight loss and more. Magill said the idea behind the fair is to create a movement of healing and higher energy throughout the community and support the local health and wellness industry at the same time. “My vision of this event is to continue to grow in light and in love with each other and share this way of life to all we come in contact with, at the fair or outside of it,” she said.

“It would be a beautiful world if every person becomes the change they wish to see in the world, like Gandhi says. “This event has already started to change peoples’ lives and it just warms my heart to watch it happen and know we had a small part in it.” The fair has become such a popular event that Madsen is now also running one in Kelowna with his daughter and Magill is planning one for Victoria in the future. Open to all ages, The Body & Soul Wellness Fair runs Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., both days, at the Vernon Rec Centre. Admission is free. For more information, call Madsen at 250-558-1960 or visit the website for more information and a list of this year’s exhibitors at www.bodyandsoulwellnessfair.com

Disinvited and suspicious

D

ear Annie: My wife of nearly 30 years and I are having some difficulties. Recently, she asked whether I wanted to go to Rome for a business conference. She thought we could see the sights afterward. I said yes, as I’m recently retired and have plenty of time. However, a few weeks later, I was uninvited. She said I wouldn’t enjoy the weather. Last week, I discovered that she is staying Kathy Mitchell & MarcySugar an extra day with someone else. She made these plans long before she disinvited me. Yesterday, she told me that a woman from work is staying with her for an extra day. I’ve never heard this woman’s name before. These meetings are held once a year in different locations, but this is the first time she has stayed any extra time. Additionally, over the past year, her behavior at work has changed. She has started wearing makeup and nicer clothes. She mentions taking walks

with some guy or another and having coffee or lunch with some other guy. I’m sure taking a walk with Peter or having coffee with Paul and casual conversations with Larry are innocent enough. But I’ve noticed that these same guys only interact with attractive women like my wife. My wife doesn’t see a problem, but I know how guys think. I worry that my wife is looking beyond me. Am I worrying about nothing? — Anxious in Davis, Calif. Dear Anxious: The fact that your wife wants to be more attractive at work is not necessarily a problem. A lot of married people enjoy flirting for the attention and have no interest in pursuing things further. However, when your wife disinvites you to a trip to Europe and then stays an extra day, we would be concerned that she intends to party. Things can get out of hand when you are far away from your spouse and want to impress your work friends with how wild and crazy (and young) you are. It’s time to have an honest conversation with your wife about your concerns. If she refuses to explain herself, counseling is the next step.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Can Toyota’s Tundra ride alongside heavyweight brands like Ford, GM or Ram?

Tugging at the tails of top selling trucks If there is one segment of the auto business that takes dynamite to get people to change brands, it’s the full-size pickup truck category, I’m sure most of us know of someone who is a “Ford guy” or The Tundra is “Chevy diehard” owner, even as capable as and getting him or her to move to a new many of the domestic truck would be almost brands but in some impossible. ways it still has a way It wasn’t until the last to go to truly be an Toyota Tundra was introduced in 2007 that alternative to Ford, Toyota was a real conGM and Ram. tender. That 2007 Tundra and this refreshed 2014 Zack Spencer model are designed, engineered and even built in America, helping to pull loyal domestic buyers away. The Tundra is even as capable as many of the domestic brands but in some ways it still has a way to go to truly be an alternative to Ford, GM and Ram.

‘‘

’

is a step up from the lower trims but not nearly as supple and luxurious as the new batch of interiors from Ram and GM. Those trucks, in particular, have almost luxury-sedan interiors that make the driver forget they are in a truck. The Tundra, in comparison, is a bit stark, featuring a hard, simple plastic dash and door pieces that don’t compare. The centre screen is smaller than many competitors are, and the screen embedded in the instrument cluster is small. What has been improved is the overall layout of the centre console. The back seat is massive and flips up with just one hand to make room for interior storage. I found the last Tundra to have a very high seating position that limited headroom. This new 2014 seems to have a better seating position, no longer crimping headroom for taller drivers. Drive Powering the Tundra are two V8 gasoline engines. The base model has a 4.6L V8 with 310hp and 327 lb.-ft. of torque. The larger 5.7L has 381hp and 401 lb.-ft. of torque. This is one area that the Toyota cannot compete; there is no V6 offered and no diesel (Ram only), which the domestic makers do offer. By limiting the available engine options and not having a heavy-duty model that will certainly diminish the

number of domestic buyers willing to give Tundra a try. On the road, I was surprised at just how rough the ride is in comparison to the all-new GM trucks, which really are like driving a big sedan. I would also place the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 a very close second in ride comfort. The Tundra is choppy on rough roads and the noise level is on the high side. Toyota claims to have improved ride quality on this refreshed 2014 model but I am not a fan of the ride. Verdict The Tundra is a capable truck. When equipped it can tow up to 4760 kg, which is on the high side in this class. What surprised me the most was the real “trucky” ride. I have had extensive seat time in all three domestic brands over the past year and I have to say that they are best sellers for a reason – the refinement is rather dramatic. The Lowdown Power: 4.6L V8 with 310hp or 5.7L V8 with 381hp Fill-up: 15.8L/11.0L/100km (city/highway 5.6L) Sticker price: $26,750-$54,000 zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Looks As part of the 2014 redesign, Toyota went about setting up a slightly different look for each of its trim levels. Sold as an SR5, Limited and Platinum, each has a variation of the oversized front grille. The wheel openings are now larger and squarer, framing wheel sizes ranging from 18-inches on the SR5 and Limited and 20-inches on the Platinum. The Tailgate has a soft open feature, stopping it from slamming down, that is fantastic but there is no side step or ladder into the bed the way Ford and the new GM trucks have. Sold as a regular car, double cab or Crew Cab, there is a model for most buyers.

Lifesaving winter fun on four wheels by Alexandra Straub

The man from BMW once called me a hooker. Surprisingly, I wasn’t that offended. I actually laughed at such a descriptor, as did everyone else around me. I didn’t feel so bad because I wasn’t the only one in the group labelled thusly at the brand’s Driver Training; a full day of driving 3 Series sedans (back then) to improve our own car control. I didn’t have too many years of driving experience back then but I unfortunately I had picked up a few bad habits on the road. What’s a ‘hooker’, according to the instructors at the German automaker’s training? Someone who hooks his or her hand into the steering wheel when making a turn. It’s a big boo-boo and not an effective way to drive. It’s also totally unsafe should an accident occur in the process. Needless to say, pointing out the ‘hooker’ in me caused me to change my habits for the better. And in the most recent installment of learning car control with BMW, no such noun was used when relating to my technique. Thank goodness. It’s minus 15 degrees at the ICAR track in Mirabel, Quebec. The sun is out and there’s a lineup of allnew 435i coupes just begging to be driven. Some are equipped with the brand’s all-wheel drive system. Some are rear-wheel drive. Regardless, I’ll have my way with both configurations by the end of the day, so to speak. The adventure is better known as the Winter Driver Training program, offered exclusively at the ICAR location. That said, you don’t need to own a BMW to participate. Learning car control in less than perfect circumstances is available to all who have $795. In my opinion, it’s money extremely well spent. The day starts out with an in-class session that goes over theory and what will be executed throughout the various exercises. It’s kept relatively short so we have more drive time. It’s mentioned that we’ll be practicing manouevres with and without electronic help, to put both power and performance to the test. Oh yeah. Proper seating position is outlined when we initially

You might ask what is the point behind putting one of BMW’s latest products sideways on an ice track in subzero temperatures. My initial answer is only three letters long and to the point: fun. But that’s only a byproduct of what the impetus behind the program is; a program that started back in 1977 and is now offered in 35 countries. The main goal is safety. It’s designed to introduce drivers to techniques that might help correct the car if it is not doing what you want it to for whatever reason. For example, if your wheels are pointed in one direction, but your car is going straight ahead, what should you do? That’s called understeer. The instinctual thing to do is keep adding more steering,

Futuristic Kia with butterfly wings

but that won’t help. Ease off the throttle and try to straighten your wheel so your tires can regain grip. Or, if you feel the back end of the car breaking loose, how do you wrangle it in? You countersteer and don’t lift off the throttle. It sounds easier said than done, but the techniques do work! Putting yourself and the 435i through the paces in a safe and controlled environment is the best place to learn. If you spin out, you’re not going to go into oncoming traffic. You just stop, turn the car around, and keep going. You’ll probably giggle a little in the process and tell yourself you’ll “get it next time.” Heck, if you knock over a few cones, no one will judge you either. It’s all part of the process. There are also dynamic braking exercises that teach you how the car reacts when you have ABS, and

Where rubber hits the road by Ian Harwood

The Kia Niro concept is a futuristic, upscale and performance-inspired hybrid electric drive car designed for urban dwellers. Entry into the vehicle is by way of dihedral “butterfly” doors with flush door handles that swing up high into the roof. Mounted directly onto the side windows are milled “Plexiglas®1” door mirrors with built-in cameras. And at the rear, the large hatch opens to reveal an expansive carbon-fibre-clad cargo deck ready to swallow large quantities of equipment, gadgets, gear or luggage. This concept comes with a variant of Kia’s turbocharged 1.6-liter ‘Gamma’ engine, capable of 160 horsepower. The engine and a seven-speed, dual-clutch transmission serve the front wheels while an electric hybrid system powered by regenerative braking delivers up to 45 horsepower to the rear wheels – when road conditions require extra grip. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

what you can do in these conditions. You’ll even learn reverse 180s. Philippe Létourneau is the head instructor of the program and says, “People learn a lot more when they’re having fun.” I agree. He also mentions that if people walk away from the course with a couple of newly established driving habits that make them overall a safe driver, that’s ideal. However, if your face doesn’t feel stiff from smiling, or your abs don’t hurt from laughing, perhaps you weren’t trying hard enough. What’s not to like about that?

Tires are one of the most important features of the truck when it comes to improving its ride. It is vital to make the right choice and then maintain them so they last for a long time. Before you choose the best tire for your truck, it is essential to understand the terms of the truck tire world. Tires for example are specified in this form - 265/75R/16. The first number is the width of the truck tire, the second number is the aspect ratio or height of the sidewall and the third number is the wheel diameter or rim size. The height of your sidewall is important and should be chosen based on the conditions where you drive your truck most often. If you only drive on the street then a low profile truck tire will be fine, but if you go off-roading then you are going to want more tire in between your rim and the ground. That way you will not bottom out on the rims when the tires encounter rough terrain off-road. Wider tires have more contact area with the ground, thus giving your

truck a better grip, both on and off road. Your truck’s handling becomes easier because of the bigger tire width. On the other hand, the same wider truck tire will make more noise and may decrease the fuel efficiency of the truck. Wider tires can also slip more when it rains, not that it rains much in Vancouver. The size of the rim is a personal preference. The larger sized rims are popular today. Just make sure that the rim and truck tire you choose will fit inside the wheel well of the truck, and don’t forget to upgrade your brakes to help stop this increase in weight. The wheel rim width varies from truck to truck. It can be custom made to suit both on and off road driving conditions. The wheel rim width is rounded off to the nearest half inch of the tire. Usually, the best choice is to have the rim width at about 90 percent of the tread width of the tire. The most important safety aspect of maintenance on your truck is to keep its tires intact and in good shape. A blown tire can cause an accident in an instant. The number

one cause of the tire wear and tear is incorrect tire pressure. All the tires on the truck should have consistent air pressure to carry the weight equally. Adequate air pressure is important for a good tire life, handling, and traction. Look through your owner’s manual, on the sticker inside the driver’s door, or look on the tire itself to find the correct air pressure that you need to maintain them. Seasonal changes can affect the air pressure of the tires. Cold temperatures are responsible for dropping the air pressure of the tires, and warm temperatures are responsible for increasing the air pressure. A 10 percent swing in the temperatures causes a 1lb. change in the air pressure. Sudden changes in temperature are a good time to check the pressure of the tires. You can reduce the wear and tear of the truck’s tires by rotating them often. A simple rule about rotating your tires is to do it on every other oil change. Doing this consistent basis, will make the tires last longer and allow a comfortable ride for many, many kilometres. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

Rough country dream machine loaded with goodies by Bob McHugh

The redesigned 2011 Grand Cherokee was still unmistakably a Jeep, even though it came with an all-new chassis and body. This rough country dream machine (from 2011 to 2013) was offered with an impressively wide range of basic hardware choices that included three 4x4 systems, an optional Quadra-Lift air suspension system and two engines. Its standard engine is a 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 and other than some early production line glitches, (see recalls) the 2011-3013 Jeep grand Cherokee is a pretty reliable, fuel efficient modern unit. A big improvement on the previous 3.7 V6, the 3.6 V6 features 24-valves and variable valve timing and can produce 290 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. And fuel economy is rated at: 13.0/8.9 L/100 km (city/highway). That’s considerably better than the optional 5.7-litre V8 hemi engine, which is rated at 15.7 L/100 km in the city and 10.6 L/100 km on the highway. The pulling power (390 lb-ft of torque) of the big V8 engine, however, helps to more than double the potential towing capability of the Grand Cherokee, from 1588 kg to 3266 kg. Both engines are mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. The Laredo and Laredo X trim levels come with Quadra-Trac I, a full-time 4x4 system that distributes drive 48/52 front-to-rear, but no low-range is provided. Quadra-Trac II was optional on Laredo X and standard on Limited and Overland. This system is capable of sending 100 per cent of drive to either the front or rear axle and has a selectable low range, which is important for demanding

Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase.

Abnormal engine performance may be noticed and in some cases the engine could fail. Dealers will replace the engine assembly.

The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee is redesigned dream machine. off-road use. Then there’s Quadra-Drive II. This was optional on the Laredo X, Limited and Overland and adds an electronic limited-slip differential that can concentrate up to 100 per cent of drive to a single wheel. It also comes with Hill Descent Control and Hill Start Assist systems. The optional (Quadra Lift) air suspension can lower or raise (to a maximum of 27 cm) the ride height. It has a Park Mode that drops to its lowest (making it easier for passengers to get in or out) and an Aero Mode that automatically lowers the Grand Cherokee at highway speeds for improved

aerodynamics and stability. In addition to being a more rigid platform, the new chassis gave Grand Cherokee a 13 cm longer wheelbase and a new independent rear suspension. High-speed handling and highway ride comfort, particularly for rear seat passengers, was noticeably improved. A new top-line SRT edition of Grand Cherokee, with a 6.4-litre V8 hemi engine, was added for the 2012 model year. A six-speed automatic transmission also replaced five-speed automatic with the 5.7-litre V8 and a U-connect hands-free phone feature became a standard on all versions.

No significant changes were made for the 2013 model year and the big news for 2014 is the introduction of a diesel engine edition plus a new 8-speed automatic transmission. The iconic Jeep bran’s popular premium luxury utility vehicle, the Grand Cherokee has been around for over twenty years. A generally good reliability record has helped make it a Consumer Reports “Recommended” buy and safety-wise it has been a top performer in both government and independent crash tests. If you enjoy the outdoors, you’ll love the Jeep Grand Cherokee. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Gone in a flash by Rob Sass

Hundred-year anniversaries in the automotive world are nearly as common as new reality TV shows (General Motors, Aston Martin and Alfa Romeo all turned 100 recently). The car companies on this list weren’t as fortunate. Davis (1947-48): The Davis Car Company was founded in 1947 in Van Nuys, Calif., by entrepreneur Gary Davis, who for reasons best known to himself decided that America was ready for a tiny three-wheeled car with just 47 hp. Like the next car company on the list, Davis also took advantage of a surplus WW2 defense plant as his base of operations. With the fast-developing freeway culture in Southern California (the car’s introduction coincided with the adoption of a comprehensive freeway plan for the region), there was little demand for an underpowered three-wheeler wholly unsuited for freeway use. The company collapsed in 1948 under the weight of unpaid employees and suppliers. The founder was jailed for fraud. 1. Tucker (1948): The Tucker story is probably the least comical of the bunch. Preston Tucker conceived a car with some truly innovative safety and performance features. Its merits were considerable and it deserved to succeed. Sadly, it wasn’t to be. Negative publicity — and, many say, a conspiracy among the legacy automakers — coupled with an SEC investigation put a quick end to Tucker. About 50 cars were built in an ex-defense plant in Chicago before Tucker folded in early

The1948 Davis (above), a tiny threewheeled car, was produced by the Davis Car Company which collapsed just a year after it was founded.

The1963 ATS is a product of the Ferrari Mutiny. 1949, and 1948 was the only model year for the car known as the Tucker 48. The entire sad saga was chronicled in the 1988 Francis Ford Coppola film “Tucker: A Man and His Dreams.” Today, most of the cars survive as cherished museum pieces and in private collections. Tuckers have brought as much as $2 million at classic car auctions. 2. Bricklin (1974-76): Malcolm Bricklin just can’t stay out of the automotive industry. An early investor in Subaru of North America, he sold his stake to finance his dream — a “safety” sports car bearing his name. Sports cars and safety have never gone hand in hand, and some would even argue that an element of danger is part of their raffish charm. Not surprisingly, there was little demand for a “safe” sports car offered in colors like Safety Orange, Safety Green, Safety White and Safety Suntan (an odd, fleshy beige color). Safety Red was the only conventional color. Bricklins were built by a largely inexperienced workforce in New

Brunswick, Canada, from 1974-76. Poor quality control — the gullwing doors were famous for trapping occupants inside — and low demand sunk Bricklin, leaving the Canadian government to foot the bills. Little was learned from the debacle. (See: DeLorean.) Bricklin went on to bring to America the much-reviled Yugo. 3. DeLorean (1981-83): Ex-GM superstar John Z. DeLorean stole a page from the Bricklin playbook. Just five years later, he convinced another gullible government (this time, the UK Labour Party) to build a factory in another high unemployment area (troubled Belfast, Northern Ireland) to construct another gullwing-door sports car named after its founder. Its styling, the work of the great Giorgetto Giugiaro of famed Ital Design, was a far more professional job than the Bricklin, and the DeLorean DMC-12 had a number of striking features, including its high-end appliance-like stainless steel body panels and unique doors. Sadly, the Renault-Peugeot-Volvo V6 left the

car woefully underpowered and at a price point that put it into competition with faster and more established cars. The whole enterprise sank under debts guaranteed by the British government. 4. ATS (1962-63): To say that Enzo Ferrari was imperious would be akin to calling Steve Jobs “somewhat clever.” When Ferrari’s wife began to meddle in his company, a number of key staffers could stand it no more and called it quits in what became known as “The Ferrari Mutiny.” They immediately started a new Italian sports car company known as ATS, the one and only product being the advanced and beautiful 2500 Coupe. Although ATS avoided the jinx of being named for the founder, the company still quickly foundered. The few surviving 2500 Coupes are worth about $1 million each.

Only about 50 of the1948 Tuckers were built before Preston Tucker folded.

The gullwing doors on Bricklins were famous for trapping occupants.

Despite some striking features, the DeLorean was woefully underpowered considering its price.

Towing and impounding a vehicle can result in a $700 bill, and a $1,400 mandatory “responsible driver program” may also be required before the driver’s licence is returned. The government terms the measure “Alexa’s Law,” after four-year-old Alexa Middelaer, who was feeding horses at the roadside in Delta when she was struck by an
