Prolific offenders blamed for hike in crime RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Criminal activity has spiked in Vernon. The RCMP report a 41 per cent increase in property crime during the second quarter of 2014 and a 21 per cent hike in Criminal Code offences. The stats are for the North Okanagan but most of the activity Reg Burgess was in Vernon.
“There are prolific offenders in town that are hitting us hard,” said Supt. Reg Burgess. Burgess admits the investigation into a rash of arson fires resulted in officers having less time for targeted policing involving repeat offenders. “We are tight (with staffing) and we notice it when we are pulled in one way,” he said. In June, there were 59 vehicle thefts in Vernon compared to 30 during the same month in 2013. The number of thefts under $5,000 went from 65 to 112.

However, assaults went from 42 in June 2013 to 28 this year, but there were seven domestic assaults reported in June 2014 compared to none last year. The local detachment had been attempting to maintain yearly target reductions of five per cent with Criminal Code and property crime offences. However, the second quarter resulted in a setback for that goal. “We’re working diligently to get us back on track,” said Burgess. The incidents have been spread throughout the community, but some neighbour-

hoods like Middleton Mountain have been hit particularly hard by criminals. Burgess is urging residents to be vigilant and to keep an eye out for suspicious activity. “It’s very much a case of neighbours being aware of neighbours,” he said. In Coldstream, there were seven thefts under $5,000 in June, the same number during that month in 2013. Thefts from vehicles went from four to 15. In the rural Vernon area, police were called to 11 vehicle thefts in June, up from one in June 2013.

Community drives in with support Lisa vanderveLde Morning Star Staff
The frosty temperatures Thursday morning didn’t cool the enthusiasm of the volunteers and customers at United Way’s DriveThru Breakfast at the Best Western Vernon Lodge. Smiling volunteers passed out hot Tim Hortons coffee, shined windows, the Vernon Vipers gave out tickets to their Friday exhibition game – all before they handed out the blue breakfast bags full of goodies. The breakfast that kicks off the United Way’s fall campaign raised $11,400 on the crisp but sunny morning, down from last year’s total of $12,540. “We definitely had fewer attendees but the ones that came were very generous,” said executive director Linda Yule. One factor was the absence of school and fewer people supporting the drive-thru on their way to class. The community support for the drive-thru breakfast was strong with many people volunteering their time including the Queen Silver Star royalty, VantageOne, Nixon Wenger, Vernon Fire Department, Vernon Vipers and many more. Lawyer Tom Christensen thanks his first job at a gas station for the window washing skills that came in handy at the drive-thru. The United Way supports 24

Lee seeks return to Vernon council Morning Star Staff
A Vernon resident is trying to re-enter politics. Shawn Lee, 62, will run for a city councillor’s position Nov. 15. “I am confident that I bring the appropriate range of experience and skill to make a meaningful contriShawn Lee bution to the efficient running of the city,” said Lee, who was not re-elected in 2014 after one term.
g n i z a Am
“As a keen student and observer of the actions and decisions of the current council for the past three years, I believe that I can hit the ground running when endorsed by the voters in the fall. I am asking for renewed and expanded support from the voters of the City of Vernon.” A dentist, who has lived in Vernon since 1984, Lee insists a well-run city will attract prosperity and growth to the area. “Other important issues are the continuing maintenance and renewal of our infrastructure and addressing the inequities inherited by our governance structure in Greater Vernon,” he said.
“I believe it is important for an elected official to not forget that they represent the interests of those who elected them and to remember that the public is often right when it comes to a controversial matter.” Lee has been previously involved with Okanagan Regional Library and is currently president of the Arts Council of North Okanagan. He has also been active with the Vernon and District Dental Association, the Thompson-Okanagan Dental Society and the College of Dental Surgeons of B.C. “I am excited by the possibility of working with a new council and mayor,” said Lee.

Teachers demand arbitration “The government has not moved on any monetary proposals.” — Heather Malcolm

E.80, which seeks to nullify any future court ruling in the teacher’s favour,” said Malcolm. Education Minister Peter Fassebender opposes binding arbitration. “If the government thinks its proposal is fair, then there is nothing to fear from arbitration,” said Malcolm. “Instead, the government has not moved on any monetary proposals in negotiations since June. They have not offered one new dollar to deal with the learning needs of our students.”

B.C. teachers appear united. A total of 30,490 teachers — 99.4 per cent —voted Wednesday in support of binding arbitration if the government agrees to participate. “Tomorrow morning, teachers could be setting up their classrooms and classes could start this week,” said Heather Malcolm, Vernon Teachers Association president, Wednesday. “Teachers, trustees, parents and students have all called for binding arbitration.

man with the gun looked frantic. “His body was jerky, and he was banging the gun quickly. His eyes seemed very wide. Fiery. Just frantic,” she said. The confrontation lasted about 30 harrowing seconds and was ended when a woman appeared. “She gestured to him, like ‘come on’ to the man with the gun,” she said. He appeared to pay attention and hopped into the passenger front seat, while she went around to the driver side. Then they drove away, “as fast as a mini-
van can go.” “Time felt like it stood still, but I’m sure it went faster than that,” she said. “The whole incident was two to three minutes.” When they left, everyone who had been caught up in the intense event got out of their cars. Langnead started calling 911, while Faye ran around to see how his son was doing. “He was very shaken up,” she said. “He wasn’t crying. He looked scared. Looked pale and was talking quickly about how afraid he was and what happened.” As she continued to speak with the boy,
and Lagnead continued on talking to the 911 operator, police vehicles came up from behind. With that she realized that they hadn’t just witnessed an episode of road rage, and that something much more serious was afoot. Motorists and witnesses caught up with the violent outpouring have continued to take the stand over the last two weeks of Ellis’s trial as the crown retraces the events that started on Boucherie Road. Ellis is facing more than 20 charges, including five counts of attempted murder, several counts of robbery and weapons offences.

His good deed didn’t go unnoticed. “(A man from the minivan) went to the driver’s side of the blue Subaru, pointing something at the window and he seemed quite frantic,” she said. “At first I couldn’t tell what it was, but then I could see he was bashing the butt end of a gun into the window… it seemed quite forceful — like he was trying to break the glass.” The court heard earlier that the occupant of the vehicle was Mark Langnead and his then 11-year-old son.

Growing medical marijuana is another step closer to being a permitted land use in Spallumcheen. Council has given third reading to a bylaw that would allow medical marijuana production facilities in agricultural and industrial zones. “I look at it as a crop and if people can be helped by Ed Hanoski it, by all means,” said Coun. Ed Hanoski, adding that the township has had to proceed with zoning changes because of federal laws calling for marijuana production. “We’ve done the best we can with the situation.”
During a public hearing Monday, three people spoke in favour of the zoning bylaw while one disagreed. “He was concerned about odour and crime,” said Mayor Janice Brown of the lone opponent. “We reassured him that we are putting a policy in place because the federal government and the Agricultural Land Commission have said they can be in place.” Brown believes marijuana production could generate some business opportunities. “There should also be some tax revenue (for the township) from it,” she said. The proposed bylaw has now been forwarded to the ministries of transportation and agriculture for approval. It’s expected that final adoption of the bylaw could be before council in October.

Council gains benefits The financial package for future Vernon politicians is being expanded. It’s been decided by current council that while those elected Nov. 15 will not get a raise, they will be able to access benefits for the first time ever. “We’re always talking about attracting younger people,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham in support of benefits, including Rob Sawatzky medical, dental and disability. “Some people have to take away time from their business (to be on council). It’s one way to balance out the inequities for the time invested.”
Mayor Rob Sawatzky, who is not seeking reelection, supports the addition of taxable benefits for elected officials. “We need to make it less difficult and less costly for people to step up,” he said. “There are financial impediments to running for elected office. This is one less opportunity for people to turn the opportunity down.” Pensions are not included in the benefits package, but Sawatzky says the other financial incentives may encourage someone to plan for retirement. “You can fund a private pension because there’s less financial drag on you,” he said. Opposition came from Coun. Bob Spiers, who says benefits for council could increase city coasts by $40,000 a year. “It seems like a heck of a change all in one year,” he said.
Absent politicians lose pay richard rolke Morning Star Staff
The financial hammer is dropping on Spallumcheen politicians who are absent Any council member who now misses more than four regular meetings a year will lose half of their salary.
“We’ve had challenges with attendance,” said Mayor Janice Brown. “It’s a commitment and we expect you to be here Mondays for meetings. Sometimes we’re on the phone trying to see if we will have a quorum.” Brown insists the policy is not directed towards any par-
ticular individual and it will set clear guidelines for anyone considering running for council in November. “This is not about being sick, it’s about holidays,” she said. Presently, the mayor receives $18,819 a year, while each councillor gets $9,410 annually.

The suspect was held in cells and he was expected to appear in court Thursday on a charge of robbery.

T
he B.C. Teachers’ Federation’s latest demand, for binding arbitration on selected pocketbook issues of its members, is going nowhere. This follows months of the union’s insistence on mediation. First a B.C. Supreme Court judge met with both sides and walked away. Then the BCTF’s preferred choice, Vince Ready, agreed that mediation won’t fix the current version of the mess he last examined in 2007. BCTF president Jim Iker announced the arbiTom Fletcher tration gambit on Friday, in one of the webcasts he uses to rally the union’s exhausted membership. Education Minister Peter Fassbender replied that with five minutes’ notice to the government’s chief negotiator and lacking specifics on what would be subject to arbitration, the proposal would forfeit the government’s mandate to control costs. “This government will not raise taxes in order to provide a settlement to one union that does not reflect what the other public sector has done,” Fassbender said. In short, there will be a negotiated settlement, eventually. The union chose to begin the strike, and now must find a way to end it. The government’s position in this dispute is unlike any of the many that preceded it. And it points the way to an evolution of education that cannot be stopped. The announcement of a $40-a-day payment for days lost during a fall strike for children under 13 was greeted with scorn by the BCTF and its echo chambers. Parents won’t be bribed, they want school, not daycare, it’s an insult, went the refrain. Before the first week of the fall strike was over, nearly two thirds of eligible parents had enrolled, faced with pickets at their schools and real and mounting child care and tutoring costs.

The union executive said members who are parents should refuse the money. Some B.C. teachers have begun advertising tutoring services online. With distance learning and other online education options expanding in all 60 public school districts, the digital revolution is unfolding quickly. The B.C. government made a couple of announcements in April, one about moving to digital versions of textbooks and another about a digital merger of 1,600 school libraries with public and post-secondary schools. Growth of options accelerates. Largely drowned out by the noise of 1970s-style industrial labour strife, the B.C. public school curriculum is being refashioned for this new age. Among its goals is to “allow teachers and students the flexibility to personalize their learning experience to better meet each student’s individual strengths and needs.” One of B.C.’s early models for self-directed learning is Thomas Haney secondary in Maple Ridge, where senior high students are expected to make their own way through course work, learning to manage their own time. It was here that the first couple of Grade 12 students showed up last week to begin making up for lost time from the strike that set in last spring. Self-directed study has become a crash course. Private schools are also swamped with applications from Grade 12 students looking for particular courses they will need by next year. In the short term, Fassbender says the lost strike days will likely have to be restored to the school schedule. “Do you put it on at the end of the year? Do you take it out of spring break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays? My staff are looking at all of the options,” Fassbender said. In the longer term, the whole factory model of school is on the way out. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca
Enough! Students in the B.C. public education system need to be back in their classrooms forthwith. The teachers’ strike caused youngsters to lose their final weeks of school earlier this year, and now the start of the new school year is into its second week of delay, with no end in sight. Exactly when does the “essential service” designation given to teachers come into play? Half a million students in this province are seeing major disruption to their education, and that’s not acceptable. Among them are students in their Grade 12 year, and this prolonged delay has the potential to cause irreparable harm to scholarships and university entrance endeavours. The BC Teachers’ Federation and the provincial government are playing brinkmanship, with students paying the ultimate price. Arbitration is not the answer. The government must be in control of public education costs and conditions, and an arbitrator could potentially make a decision that severely limits both for the longterm, and prior to critical court appeals that could significantly change this landscape. Coming to a settlement otherwise seems unlikely in the next few days, and kids need to be at their desks now. If the government is not willing to legislate teachers back to work, then it has to apply supreme pressure for essential services enforcement. Once kids are back in the learning curve, the two sides (perhaps combatants would be a more appropriate term at this point) can resume negotiations as long as it takes to reach a deal. If it’s all about the kids, let’s see some action reflecting that. Black Press

was very disappointed in Coldstream council’s third reading of zoning bylaw 1382, 2002, amendment bylaw 1643, 2013, amendment 40 (aka Pinnacle pellet plant rezoning application). The public input section of the proceedings, as I understand, was unprecedented. In fact, the reading had to be recessed for a week to deal with the volume of input. Despite having a lot of new information presented at the reconvened meeting Aug. 18, and having access to experts, the council did not seem to review any of the new information, nor ask follow-up questions of the experts in attendance before proceeding to a vote. The three councillors who voted against the rezoning gave very sound reasoning for their positions. The three councilors who voted for the rezoning did not give any reasoning for their positions, which I found extremely disappointing. Given the large number of public representations and the number of people – most with young children - still present after 11 p.m. to hear the rest of the proceedings, I would think as an elected representative you would want to give some explanation for your position under these circumstances. The mayor also gave a reason for his position. I personally did not like his reasoning, it was tantamount to saying something like, “I want to roll the dice on this one and pass it along to the next level to see what happens," effectively leaving the

fate of his own constituents in the hands of others. Shouldn’t the mayor, of anyone on council, be someone who is capable of making the tough decision? Why then is our mayor wanting someone else to make this call? I did a cursory review of the public submittals prior to the meeting, and it appeared that there were more signatures from residents opposed to the proposed zoning change than those for the rezoning. During the public hearing, tens of residents stood up and gave arguments or voiced their opinions against the proposed rezoning. To my recollection, besides the applicants, there were only three residents who spoke in
the list of OECD nations in support of their public broadcasters. The first Canadian public broadcast system was introduced in 1932 by a Conservative government and this system became the CBC. In my observation, Harper and his followers have used the CBC as a whipping boy, undermining it in every possible way. They have accused the CBC of bias against the government as part of a socalled culture war. These tactics have also been used in order to raise money for their party. Possibly, these toxic rants may appeal to Harper's base with its strong U.S. rightwing, Republican beliefs, which in my view are entirely foreign to Canadian values. I very much resent what I see as bullying tea party style attacks that make it plain that this government is still determined to privatize or actually kill off our CBC. Shame on them. I have been watching the CBC for many years, primarily in the areas of news, politics, and documentaries, and in my experience, our public network has always

been fair and unbiased. The only culture war I have noticed is the war Stephen Harper seems to be waging against the traditional Canadian culture of political moderation, which all the parties used to share. As one component of this battle, Harper has weakened and in some cases wholly destroyed, important and successful institutions, systems, and programs that were legislated by earlier moderate governments. I was once a member of the Conservative Party when it was still essentially Canadian, and I have been appalled by the actions of the Harper Conservatives since they came to power. Stephen Harper's hidden agenda isn't hidden anymore. Judging by their policies and by their ideology (which is totally alien to Canadian conservative history and tradition), Harper and his colleagues appear to me to be governing as if they are really U.S. right-wing, Republicans who are simply masquerading as Canadians. Obviously, Harper and his masqueraders are still laying waste to our political landscapes, particu-
favour of the rezoning, and in fact none gave any reasoning as to why the plant needed to be located at the proposed site. In other words, they seemed to be simply in favour of having the plant, and really gave no particular reason that it needed to be located at this site. Note that many of the people speaking against the rezoning are also in favour of the plant, but this was not the correct location for it. The applicant themselves did not present any compelling reasoning that the plant needed to be situated at this proposed location as opposed to perhaps another business case where the pellet plant would be located at a different site. Of course it makes sense that they would first apply for this site as, in simple terms, it’s the easiest for them to execute. In summary, I’m not sure what we as taxpayers can do when it seems to me that we’ve collectively presented a position to our representatives where the majority is not in favour of a proposal. Additionally, there seemed to be no detriment to denying the application, since the given location did not appear to be critical to the operations of the proposed plant. And yet somehow this still went through. And let’s not forget that the applicant heard all of this as well, I’m sure they could still withdraw their application and find a place that won’t cause such an uproar. Is anybody listening?

Up on the roof for food Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
A local grocer is once again going to extreme heights to support those who rely on the food bank. Jim Tennant, Save-On-Foods manager, will be camped out on the roof of the grocery store starting Sept. 19 for as long as it takes to raise 25,000 lbs of food for the Salvation Army Vernon food bank. “I’ll probably be up there about a week again, we’ll see how long the food keeps coming,” said Tennant, who says the hardest part is the cold, lonely nights. “In a lot of ways, you’re almost like a homeless person up there in a tent.” But the end result is worth it. “I see how much food it puts into the food bank and I can’t stop that,” said Tennant. The grocer’s efforts pay off in the form of bags and bins full of non-perishables, as well as cash donations, which the store collects for the food bank. But Tennant won’t be alone the entire time. David MacBain, Salvation Army community ministries director, and resident Akbal Mund are expected to spend some time on the roof too. “I’m trying to get Darrell Jones, our company president to come too,” said Tennant. One of the senior partners of BDO is also expected to join the rooftop cause, and the accountancy network will host a barbecue in Vernon. “We’re doing this just to help people that need a little bit of help from us,” said Tennant. Last year’s efforts raised 20,000 lbs of food, therefore Tennant is looking to beat that goal with 25,000 pounds.

Jim Tennant (right) will be back on the Save-On Foods roof to raise support for the Vernon food bank. Non-perishable donations will be collected in the store, before and during Tennant’s rooftop campout. Tennant will also have a Salvation Army kettle for cash donations, and a shopping basket suspended from the roof for anyone interested in donating a warm beverage or snack to the campers. “It’s amazing how much it can bolster your mood when someone brings you a coffee. “Last year I even had the Upper Room Mission send me up a Teddy bear and little pair of reading glasses with lights on them from their thrift shop.” Such seemingly small acts are what Tennant looks forward to most. “It’s just the people chatting and dropping donations off, even the horn honks that I get.”

C HECK I T O UT AT B OOKLAND BONES NEVER LIE Temperance “Tempe” Brennan faces down the demons of her past in the seventeenth thriller in Kathy Reichs’s phenomenally successful Bones series. Unexpectedly called in to the Charlotte PD’s Cold Case Unit, Dr. Temperance Brennan wonders why she’s been asked to meet with a homicide cop who’s a long way from his own jurisdiction. The shocking answer: Two child murders, separated by thousands of miles, have one thing in common — the killer. Years ago, Anique Pomerleau kidnapped and murdered a string of girls in Canada, then narrowly eluded capture. It was a devastating defeat for her pursuers, Brennan and police detective Andrew Ryan. Now, as if summoned from their nightmares, Pomerleau has resurfaced in the United States, linked to victims in Vermont and North Carolina. When another child is snatched, the reign of terror promises to continue — unless Brennan can rise to the challenge and make good on her second chance to stop a psychopath.

“All sales are donated to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation,” said Dan Currie, the local Hortons owner. “We are hoping to increase our donation this year so we’re hoping to get strong community support.” About 20,000 cookies will be available. “And then my wife (Jamie) and I match it, so we could possibly push $40,000,” said Currie. Last year, a total of $31,710 was raised. Sue Beaudry The money raised this year will go towards equipping the two top floors in VJH’s Polson tower. “Generosity comes in many forms and purchasing Smile Cookies is a great way to help Tim Hortons help the hospital,” said Sue Beaudry, VJH Foundation director of development. “We are very grateful to receive the ongoing, generous support of Tim Hortons.

Golf tourney helps the kids Morning Star Staff
kristin froneman/morning star
George Barta, with Vernon Hyundai, takes part in the New Car Dealers Association of Vernon’s golf tournament at the Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club Sunday.
A gorgeous Sunday provided a beautiful backdrop for the aptly named Fun in the Sun Charity Golf Tournament, now in its 22nd year, hosted by the New Car Dealers Association of Vernon at Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club. This year, the tournament raised $15,800. This is second only to the year 2007 when Dave Rehill from Vernon Toyota won the hole-in-one, bumping up the total raised by $5,000. “This was a great year for the golf tournament,” said Brian Westwell, of Vernon Nissan and president of the New Car Dealers Association of Vernon. “We had more than 100 participants come together to support two great charities, KidSport and the Vernon Teen Junction and Youth and Literacy Centre. It truly is amazing what can be accomplished when it is all about the kids.” With a score of 12 under par the victors were from Adesa including golfers Brian McHale, Roger Mushluk, Wayne Penner and Brock Penner. In a very respectable second place was Team Bannister GM 2 with Dave Jones, Russ Murdoch and Ken Nichol. Team Bannister GM 2 also took the speed round with a very impressive time of 33 seconds. Third place goes to Team Watkin Ford Motors 1 with players Ross Blankley, Scott Morrice, Ross Truant and Audias Valverde. The new straightest shot contest was won by Angie Culbert. Men’s longest drive and the Men’s KP both went to Leif Peek while the women’s longest drive was won by Erma Main and the women’s KP winner was Angela Sparrow. Congratulations to all of the other KP winners: Cory Akerman, Dave Jones, Greg Hengel, Brian McHale, Ken Murdoch, Wayne Penner, Melissa
Skelton, Marty Steele and Scott Young. “The members of the New Car Dealers Association of Vernon would like to sincerely thank all of their staff and associates and all of the donors from the hole sponsors and the players to the auction and door prize contributors,” said Westwell. “This type of fundraiser would not be possible without your tremendous support.”

Kal Rotary getting ready for Dream Auction Morning Star Staff
The Kalamalka Rotary Club has started its annual canvass for goods and services to be sold at the Dream Auction Nov. 15. “We have almost 90 members who will be out seeking donations of goods and services to sell at the Dream Auction,” said Greg MacKinnon, president of the club. “This is our 30th anniversary auction and we’re hoping to make it the biggest and best ever.” As part of planning for the event, Kal Rotarians work during September, October and November. “It’s a huge amount of work bringing in the donations, sorting and cataloguing them organizing the Dream Auction banquet and selling tickets,” said Neil Perry, event chairperson.
Sale helps Habitat Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Habitat for Humanity will hold a garage sale Saturday. The event will take place from 8 a.m. until noon at Vernon Moving and Storage, 2506 37th St. “We are very close to being able to purchase a piece of property in Vernon for ousr next exciting housing project,” said Glory Westwell, with Habitar for Humanity. “Our home ownership program brings the dream of owning a home to working families.” Habitat for Humanity does not give away homes. “We work with people who seek to help themselves,” said Westwell. “Habitat for Humanity provides the partner families interest-free mortgages with no cash down payments. We build homes with volunteer labour to help reduce construction costs. However, the final selling price is at fair market value.”
It’s expected the 450 available tickets for the event will sell out in less than a week.
“Dream Auction has developed into Vernon’s premiere fundraising event,” said MacKinnon.
“We’re enormously grateful to all of the businesses, professionals and individuals who
donate each year as well as the wonderful supporters who bid on all the items.”
Since its inception, the Kalamalka Rotary Dream Auction has raised more than $2
million and has been able to support hundreds of projects in the community.

The North Okanagan Valley Gleaners Society is teaming up with Back to Earth Enviro Products to ship dehydrated food to Africa. “I have always wanted to feed a village. This is the perfect super food to do that with,” said Kiley Routley, founder of Back to Earth. Routley met with Harold Sellers, of the North Okanagan Valley Gleaners Society, during last year’s Harvest Festival and began planning the donation to Africa. A total of 2,100 pounds of Back to Earth’s marquee product, Weeds and Seeds cereal, was shipped to Tanzania and possibly Ghana. “It is a product similar to our dry soup mix and it seems to be a fit to our clients,” said Sellers. Weeds and Seeds contains many essential vitamins and minerals from nuts and a variety of plants. The gleaners society has been around since 2009 and it takes surplus donated fruits and vegetables and turns them into dehydrated soup mix. The group has shipped about 14 containers of food around the world since starting. Back to Earth was a company that Routley started in her kitchen, and as the enterprise has grown, she has decided to get involved in the community. “Our mandate was to give back and that is how we built our company,” said Routley. Back to Earth also makes organic baby products,

Megan makes grade Morning Star Staff
Having trained Canadian national team members since 2001, local coach Camille Martens knows what it takes to see that elusive dream become reality. The former Olympic rhythmic gymnast has worked with Vernon’s Megan Hamilton for nine years and helped Hamilton make the junior national team, announced this week. “Dreams don’t happen, they are made,” said Martens. “Megan has consistently shown that she knows exactly what that means. Her determination, focus, drive and openness to overcoming each obstacle, have paved a steady path to dreamland. “By no means has Megan’s journey been a cakewalk. She has had to fight for her flexibility, her fluidity and her consistency. En route to this milestone, she has had to deal with some big disappointments. What makes her so special is her ability and will to turn trials into triumphs. Watching her shine so brightly in training and in competition is both a privilege and an honour.” Hamilton, 15, missed making the national squad by a minuscule margin (0.05) last year. “I was disappointed but determined not to make the same mistake again,” said Hamilton, a Grade 10 VSS student. “I had to learn to control my nerves when dealing with the pressure. It was especially hard when I knew what was possible. “This year, I learned how to really compete consistently and I felt that I had control of my apparatus. y opportunities to represent Canada overseas
twice this year, helped me feel much more confident. Competing at the World Cup in Hungary and seeing the big stars live was a dream come true.” Hamilton not only competed at the world events, but had personal bests every time she stepped on the carpet. As a first-time team member, nobody anticipated that she would be able to turn in some of Canada’s best junior international scores of the year. “In Grade 7, I wrote down my plan to make junior national team, and I told my coaches and family. This year I achieved each of the goals on that list and proved to myself the power of intention and hard work. I am so happy that I get a national team track suit.” Hamilton placed second with her hoop routine at the nationals after setting a goal to podium (topthree). “I am very proud of myself and I am so thankful for my coaches, my family and everyone who helped me to achieve my goal. I am blessed to have such a great circle of support.” Since 2001, Martens and her team of coaches have led eight local girls to the national team. This year, they have trained local talent and have also hosted athletes from across the nation, the U.S., Mexico, Netherlands and Austria. “Having international exposure through attending world events, and through athletes coming to us, gives our team a huge boost,” said Martens. “It gives our local athletes a feel for what is possible. It makes the world stage real and dreaming more fun.”
Zalewski on NHL mission EMANUEL SEQUEIRA

YO U R

PENTICTON – Mike Zalewski got the rookie treatment by the Vancouver Canucks in his pro debut. It was April 12 at Rexall Place as the Canucks were set to face the Edmonton Oilers. The former Vernon Viper was the lone skater doing pre-game laps. “It was funny. I kind of saw it coming,” said Zalewski as his Canuck teammates watched him from the tunnel before joining. “It’s a pretty fun time. One of the cooler experiences I’ve had. I think they let me go for three or four laps. By the end I felt a little uncomfortable and was really hoping they would just join me. Everybody gets a good laugh out of that. I think it’s a pretty cool thing for them to do.” Zalewski, 22, also dressed for the final regular season game against the Calgary Flames at Rogers Arena and collected his first NHL assist in 12:28 of ice time.
“It was really an unbelievable month I had,” said Zalewski, who signed with the Canucks as a free agent following a twoyear career with the NCAA Rensselair Polytech Institute Engineers. “A really cool experience. Spend a month playing with the players at that level. Overall it was just a blast. Hoping to do the same this year.” When Zalewski takes to the ice with the Canucks for their first game against the Edmonton Oilers in the Young Stars Classic tonight at the South Okanagan Events Centre, he’s using what he’s learned to impress the new Canuck brass. “It’s a great opportunity to give them a first look how I can play the game,” said Zalewski, who earned a silver medal with the Vipers at the RBC Cup in 2010-11. “How I can play in every zone.” Zalewski is coming in with confidence and focused to play his game. In 71 games with the Engineers, the New Yorker rang

up 21 goals and 47 points. The big forward said the difference from college is that “everybody is on the same level when you get to the NHL. “Everybody is so good. So skilled and so smart in the way they play. Things happen fast and it definitely took a little bit of getting used to.” Coming back to Penticton gives him flashbacks of the intense games he had with the Vipers against the Vees. “I’m pretty excited for the opportunity. “I know some people form Vernon that will be able to come down and watch. I’m really looking forward to that.” Vernon and the offensive-minded BCHL hold a special place for Zalewski “It allows guys to play more creative and open and gain confidence,” he said. “My second year I benefited from that the most. Good competition, playing in some fun atmospheres. Being there for two years was great.”

The Vernon United U15 boys went into the Little Bear Soccer Tournament in Revelstoke against teams two years older and brought home gold. United battled Columbia Valley from Invermere in Sunday’s final after going 1-0-1 in the round-robin and advanced on goal differential. Playing against a bigger and more physical U17 Columbia Valley, Vernon earned a scoreless draw after full time and won 4-2 in penalty kicks. Claye Harsanye was a wall in net making 11 saves and Kevin Thibault was solid on defence. United battled host Revelstoke to a 1-1 draw Saturday afternoon. Vernon grabbed the lead midway through the first half on a 20-yard bomb from Gavin Mason on a silky pass from Malcolm Wiens. A defensive lapse early in the second half led to Revelstoke’s equalizer. Peter Hirschkorn and Sam Eggert were reliable on defence and James Hungtinton was decisive at midfield. Later that afternoon, Vernon squashed Golden 6-0 and fine passing and DR.

FOR THE 2014/2015 SEASON
JENNIFER SMITH/MORNING STAR
Vernon goalie Luc Gilbert deflects a shot by Kelowna Huskies’ Jorah Schwemler in U9 ringette action last season at Priest Valley Arena.
New ringette players wanted Morning Star Staff
You use a lightweight, straight, hollow stick to control a blue rubber ring while skating on ice at a high speed. The game is called ringette and it’s been around since the winter of 1963 when Sam Jacks of North Bay Parks and Recreation developed the activity for females. The first game was played in the northern Ontario town of Espanola and ringette is now played in half a dozen other countries around the world. Vernon’s Paige Powls is a 22-year-old university student who still needs a constant ringette fix. “I love the game,” she said. “It’s fast and it’s competitive. The whole atmosphere is exciting. It’s all good.” Powls is publicity director for the Vernon Ringette Association, where she spent 10 years as a player. She will coach
the U12 Petite team this season and play Masters in Kelowna. A free session for beginners goes Saturday from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at Priest Valley Arena with longtime coach Dawn Ponich leading things along with some older female players. The association will get a few newbies registering following the free trial, but they sign up most new players thanks to Ponich’s visits to elementary schools. “We try to do one (free training hour) in the spring and one in the fall,” said Powls, who also played some soccer and volleyball as a teen. “Dawn goes into the schools all year round and promotes the game in phys-ed classes. The kids play a gym version and we get lots of new kids who have never heard of ringette.” Conditioning camps for returning players go all weekend with games starting
the weekend after Thanksgiving. Bunnies will learn the basic skills in November and December and play games starting in January. Vernon has made a bid to host provincials for A, B and C levels in Tween, Junior, Belle and possibily Open divisions this season. They last held the B.C. playdowns five years ago. Powls said kids can take up the game as early as four years old and play forever. The association had 150 players last year, down a little from previous seasons. “We’re always looking for more coaches. We have three clinics throughout the year and there is one entry-level for new coaches.

Hundreds of youth between kindergarten to Grade 8 have played in the program the last six years. “During this dispute we are unable to access our local school gyms to provide our practices and games,” said hoop director Johnal Lee “Our fall registration and start up is postponed until further notice. We apologize to all our loyal families for this frustration.”

College team impressive Morning Star Staff
A delegation of students from Okanagan College’s Enactus team traveled to Montreal recently to meet with top business executives, entrepreneurs and students from Quebec after making a lasting impression with one of the lead judges at Canada’s national Enactus competition. Michel Kelly-Gagnon is the president of the Montreal Economic Institute and he also serves on the board of the John Dobson Foundation. He was selected as a judge for the national Enactus exposition, where he was first introduced to students from Okanagan College’s award-winning team. “In April, I had the distinct pleasure and honour of acting Kelly-Gagnon as a judge in the final round of the 2014 Enactus Canada National Exposition in Calgary,” said Kelly-Gagnon. “On that occasion, I heard great presentations from students from various universities about how they were making Canada and the world a better place, through entrepreneurial actions and a mentality of autonomy and self-reliance. “In my view, one of the best initiatives presented, if not the best, was the InStill Life project from the Enactus Okanagan College team.” Kelly-Gagnon was so impressed with the student-led project, he invited the team members and their faculty mentors to make a presentation to his Board and Montreal university students, in the hope of bringing a similar program to Quebec.” InStill Life is an Okanagan-born project that students from the College’s Enactus team have been building for the past six years. The project is led by Enactus team members who work with Grade 5 and 6 students through a series of 10 lesson plans, all with prescribed learning objectives. The elementary school students create micro-businesses that generate profits that are directed to people around the world through a micro-lending program. Throughout the course of the program, the youth learn about financial literacy, entrepreneurship, personal selling and micro lending. “Being identified as a leader in the Enactus network and having our InStill Life program showcased to the audience in Quebec is testament to the strength of our team and the incredible programs and community partners we work with on a daily basis,” said Dr. Kyleen Myrah, Enactus Okanagan College faculty advisor. “I am looking forward to the relationships we are creating to bring our impact to even greater levels across Canada.”

B.C. budget shows surplus
Pop Ba ula ck r D By em and !
tom fletcher Black Press
The B.C. government has increased its projected surplus for the year to $266 million, up $87 million from the July budget estimate. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said taxation and natural resource revenue are running ahead of projections, based on results of the first quarter of the fiscal year. That was offset by unexpected costs for flood control this spring and a forest fire season expected to be one of the costliest on record at $350 million. Mike de Jong The budget surplus is enough to provide a a pay increase and other improvements to striking teachers, but what the union is currently asking for amounts to $315 more than the government is offering, this year and every subsequent year, the finance ministry calculates. De Jong said giving in to the B.C. Teachers’ Federation demands, including their proposal for class size and special needs support, would equate to an increase of $140 a year for the average personal income tax, or 4.8 cents per litre in gasoline tax. Increasing the government’s offer or gambling on the results of binding arbitration would have a ripple effect on other public service unions, both those who settled for less and those who still have to reach agreements under the government’s bargaining mandate, he said. NDP critic Carole James said arbitration in the teacher case isn’t “opening the flood gates. “In fact binding arbitration when the parties are close, will take a look at the pattern of settlements, will take a look at the money that’s on the table, will take a look at the two parties, and resolve this,” James said.

Food Action Society celebrates the artistry of food when it is grown locally for its annual event, Roots ‘n’ Brews Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
There’s a revolution going on about how we see and think about our food. Concerns about pesticides and GMOs from manufactured growing methods have evolved into small mom and pop farm operations— artisanal farmers, if you will. Found in abundance in the Okanagan and Shuswap regions, these are the people who raise their own meat or milk cows, goats or sheep for dairy, open apiaries for bees and plant the seeds to not only feed their own families, but to sell at local markets or from the gates of their own farms. On Sept. 20, some of these farmers will be sharing the wealth from their fields for the Food Action Society of the North Okanagan’s fourth annual Roots ‘n’ Brews gala dinner and dance, taking place at the Best Western Vernon Lodge. “The Food Action Society envisions a community where all members have access to an abundance of nutritious food from a thriving local food system,” said Kristy Hennings, one of the organizers of the event. “You can meet the farmers that grew your dinner, then dance the night away next to them.” Back to participate in the locally produced and prepared four-course dinner is Michelle Tsustumi, of Golden Ears Farm in Chase. “We started to farm to live and work closely with the land and in the flow of the seasons. It’s really important to us, at Golden Ears, to know how our food is grown, especially with young children in the mix now. We grow as much food for ourselves as possible, and gather the rest locally from producers who we know,” she said. “I love Roots ‘n’ Brews because it celebrates the abundance that exists in this region and the remarkable people who make it happen.” Inspired by the Okanagan’s rich supply of growers and suppliers, Le Cordon Bleu trained chefs Brian and Maya Fetterly,

Farmers at Golden Ears in Chase plant part of the bounty to be picked in time for the Food Action Society of the North Okanagan’s fourth annual Roots ‘n’ Brews event Saturday, Sept. 20. of the Best Western Vernon Lodge, and Gumtree Catering’s Billy Sanderson have conceived a menu that includes local meats, cheeses, artisanal breads, pickles, organic fruits and vegetables, as well as local libation. Hosted by emcees Gabe Newman and Jayme McKillop, the celebration will also include information about local food organizations, including the Food Action Society and its many endeavours such as food secu-
rity initiatives, community gardens, Good Food Box program, and the online food directory. And now to the best part of the evening, the food. The event will begin with a tasting hour of local spirits from 5 to 6 p.m., featuring Okanagan Spirits, Crannóg Ales, and the BX Press Cidery. After indulging at the antipasto table, guests will then enjoy a sweet corn flan with
pork cracklings, mixed seasonal greens with apples, nuts and BX Press Cidery vinaigrette, and the mains of pork schnitzel with lamb ragout, or eggplant schnitzel, both served with a medley of seasonal veggies and roasted heirloom potatoes. The meal will be topped off with a spiced cherry tart with a rustic spelt crust and fresh herb pastry cream, with coffee provided by Triumph Coffee and tea by Lumby’s Tea Grannies. Hennings warns the menu may be tweaked at the last minute depending on the weather and how it affects the farmers’ crops. “That’s truly local — everything is being picked up over the next week from the local farms and delivered directly to our chefs at the Best Western Vernon Lodge,” she said. “Our team of passionate chefs were inspired by the abundance of the season to create a menu that will thrill the taste buds, while all funds raised will go to support local food initiatives and events.” Calories will be dropped when Vernon band OM, with guest Mikkal Waters, bring their groove-heavy sounds to the dance floor. They will be followed by Vancouver’s alternative country-gypsy-circus troupe Blackberry Wood, who are currently on tour in support of their newest record Strong Man vs. Russian Bears. Tickets for Roots ‘n’ Brews are on sale now at the Bean Scene or the Best Western Vernon Lodge for $60. Contact Hennings at kristyhennings@gmail.com about reserving a table for a group.

Let The Captive go
E
The Captive
ight years ago, an Ontario couple (Ryan Reynolds and Mireille Enos) lost their young daughter Cassandra when she was kidnapped from the back seat of their vehicle, while stopping at a diner. Held captive for nearly nine years by a wellorganized pedophile Taylor and Howe Mika, (Kevin Durand) Cassandra becomes a recruitment poster child, helping lure other young girls from the Internet. During this time, Mika also plays a demented game of cat and mouse with Cassandra’s mother, leaving behind personal items for her to find at work, watching her on a secret surveillance system. The police are unable to find Cassandra, even after a more recent photo of her surfaces online, but Niagara Falls is a small town and ultimately her own father finds her. We say, “Stockholm Syndrome doesn’t explain why it’s always winter in Canada.”
Reel Reviews
TAYLOR: After being laughed out of the Cannes Film Festival and being too embarrassed to release The Captive at the Toronto Film Festival (I presume,) Canada’s Atom Egoyan sent his terrible movie to Vernon, lucky us. This film makes no sense. HOWE: I’ve had more exciting trips to the dentist office. How do I start to say how bad this film is? It’s so slow, paint dries quicker. The storyline is all over the place, jumping from one time frame to another. I’m not saying the non-linear technique is wrong in a movie like this, it’s just that it didn’t feel quite right. To me it was messy and sometimes a little confusing what time line we were in, as the eightyear difference wasn’t clearly defined. For example, no one seemed to age (except Cass,) dress any different or drive different vehicles, even though there is nearly a decade’s difference. TAYLOR: It was also always winter. Perhaps this was to cement the bleakness of the story. The Captive wants to be a Hitchcock thriller. It wants to plod along at a snail’s pace, out of order to confuse you, with tension building as the audience comes to realize the suffering of both the parents of the victim and

Ryan Reynolds is reunited briefly with his daughter in The Captive. the victim herself, while we get closer to solving the case. It wants us to hate the (extremely well-organized and powerful) pervert at the helm and celebrate when justice is served. The problem is, there is no tension, suffering, solving or justice. This film seems incomplete, like it wants us to celebrate catatonia while we fill in the blanks. It is almost like The Captive cut out all the “good parts” (which would actually be awful to see) leaving us to watch police procedures go
nowhere, while hurt parents brood and a weirdo takes it over the top. So I must ask, why make the movie in the first place? The Captive is terrible on multiple levels. HOWE: But on a plus note we can’t see anything worse this year. — Taylor gives The Captive 1 tiny moustache out of 5. — Howe gives it 1 conifer tree out of 5. The Captive is currently playing at Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

evalyn parry puts her SPIN on the bicycle Contributed
Aw a r d - w i n n i n g Toronto artist evalyn
parry takes her audience on a unique theatrical and musical
journey in SPIN, her tribute to the bicycle as muse, musical instru-
ment and agent for social change. Spinning a web of songs and stories that travel from 19th century women’s emancipation to 21st century consumer culture, parry was inspired by the incredible true tale of Annie Londonderry, the first woman to ride around the world on a bicycle in 1895.

ers of history to reveal a very contemporary heart to parry’s theme of liberation. A vintage bicycle, suspended on a mechanic’s stand and amplified with simple electronics, is played — from fenders to spokes to seat, from flashing bike lights to whirring pedals to bells — by percussionist Brad Hart, conjuring an evocative sonic accompaniment to parry’s songs and monologues. Projections by award-winning designer Beth Kates add a stunning visual dimension to SPIN, which has delighted audiences across the continent. Since 2011, SPIN has toured all over Canada, from Newfoundland to the North West Territories to Vancouver Island, as well as through the United States; the SPIN CD was nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award. evalyn parry is a multi-award-winning theatre artist, songwriter and spoken word poet. Steeped in the folk tradition but born to innovate, her genre-blurring work is inspired by inter-
sections of history, autobiography and contemporary social activism. Over the last decade she has created seven original performance works, released four CD’s and has performed her unique combination of music and spoken word at festivals, theatres and campuses internationally. Her work has been honoured with The Colleen Peterson Songwriting Award, The KM Hunter Award for Theatre, and a Dora Mavor Moore Award for Best Production, among others. Education is also a vital part of parry’s artistic practice, and for the last decade she has been the director of the Young Creators Unit at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre in Toronto. www.evalynparry.com evalyn perry’s SPIN B.C. tour comes to Vernon Sept. 24, playing The Pottery Road Yoga Studio, 964 Pottery Rd., at 7 p.m., with opening act Acoustica. Tickets are $20, available in advance at the Bean Scene. For more information, see www. evalynparry.com

There’s no age limit to creativity
Cara Brady Morning Star Staff
There are so many ways to play. Over the past year, the members of At This Age, part of the Creative Expression and Aging program, have written poems and stories, talked about music and memories, produced paintings and sculpture for an art show and produced a play. The play, The Zen of Aging — Squaring the Circle, covers childhood, youth, adult life through dialogue, poetry and music, and looks ahead to the future. Some of the members had previous drama experience while for others it was the first time in the spotlight. “I’m enjoying it, this new slant,” said group member Florence Lynch. “This group is so diversified and the play is just one slice of the pie. There’s a lot more to it. It’s a new point of view, a new way of understanding aging. Now it’s time for fun here, with no strings attached.” The group brought together the writing from several sessions and worked on the

we can have out of life,” said Margaret Sanford. Group member and local musician Manfred Harter is bringing his musical talent to the play. “Think about this business of aging. People think they are impervious to aging but you could be next,” he said. Gerry Humphrey is convinced the At This Age group is the place to be. “Come as you are and leave enhanced,” he said, inviting anyone to discover their creativity as they get older to come and check out the group which meets Monday mornings at The Schubert Centre. The Zen of Aging — Squaring the Circle takes place at The Schubert Centre Monday at 11 a.m. and Tuesday at 7 p.m. Tickets are $4 at the door.

The Okanagan is an area that thrives off agriculture of nearly all types and is a business and year-round income for many families. For a region that relies so heavily on agriculture, it is an industry that often seems to be removed from the public’s attention. But at Davison Orchards on Saturday, Breakfast on the Farm provides the opportunity for those unfamiliar with farming or food production to come have a delicious breakfast and leave with a better understanding of agriculture. “Food tastes better when you know the story behind it and this is your opportunity,” said Shane Landreville, marketing and events coordinator at Davison Orchards. “A delicious and inexpensive pancake breakfast gives you a great reason to join the celebration first thing in the morning. “Our volunteers will be serving your all-inclusive breakfast of eggs, pancakes, sausages, apple cider syrup and a beverage. Kids’ plates are $4.95 and adults are $5.95. Davison Orchards is also offering a free farm business tour to give you an inside look at the

winter roads should not be a problem. Of course, you would want to invest in a good set of winter tires. Beyond the city limits, out on the highway, heading south it handled the road well, with enough get up and go for good passing power when needed. It’s quite roomy for a small car. There’s room for three in the back seat as long as those passengers are not of a larger body type, if I may delicately put it that way. If you are of a larger body type, there is plenty of room in the trunk, if you desperately need a ride at that exact moment. (Just kidding.) But it does tell you the trunk is also roomy! Verdict: No complaints. For a sub-compact, you get great tech options, great fuel economy, in a car that doesn’t feel like you are driving something as inexpensive as it is. It’s fun and zippy for driving around town or highway driving. If you need a small car as a
daily commuter or it’s your second car to accommodate a bigger SUV or truck, I would recommend taking one out for a test drive to see if it fits for you in what you are looking for in a car.

Differing definitions of luxury in the automotive market are truly reflected in the eyes of the beholder. To one person it might be having all the refinements and gadgets available in a modern car accompanied with a smooth and quiet ride. To another buyer it might just be about the name on the front of the car, letting all to see it that the owner has “made it” establishing a certain status in society.

Well, after a weeklong trip with my family I’m more impressed with Kia than I have been before but the realist in me knows Kia isn’t a luxury brand, at least not yet. Looks The K900 is an unfortunate name, it begs the question is this a dog? No, it is a full-size car about the same size as a 7-series from BMW or S-Class from Mercedes Benz. The K900 is based on the same platform as the Hyundai Equus but differs in price and content. For a full-sized car with limo-like dimensions, the K900 starts at a remarkable $49,995 for the V6 model and $60,995 for the V6 premium model. The top V8 model is $69,995. The styling is strong, especially the top V8 model seen here with LED headlamps and taillights and very North American looking chrome multi-spoke wheels. The rear doors are huge and Kia has done but good job of keeping the proportions of the car in check while grafting Kia’s signature Tiger Nose grille. The rear bumper and lower air diffuser looks especially chunky, almost mimicking the Lexus LS and its integrated exhaust tips. Inside Every person that sat in the K900 was blown away with the refinement, fit and finish and especially the materials used. The V8 test model had leather covering the front of the dash and piano finish on the wood trim accented. Add in tasteful chrome and aluminum, dark, rich wood on the steering wheel and centre console and the K900 looks like a million bucks. The front and rear seats came with ventilation and V8 models have a rear seat reclining feature. Despite spending countless hours behind the wheel travelling with two children in the back, the car offered a very relaxing ride for the passengers, and the kids especially liked the cooled seats on a very hot day. The centre infotainment screen is controlled with a rotary dial in-between the front passengers and is very similar to Audi’s MMI system. Drive The V6 model comes with the very competent 3.8L
engine that puts out 311hp. having tried this in other Hyundai/Kia products and it is smooth and powerful. The V8 is superb, with 420hp coming from a 5.0L V8, there is no lack of power. The shift in the auto industry is to smaller engines that utilize turbo charging but Kia is sticking with good old engine displacement to get the job done. Covering more than 1,000km, the real world fuel economy was 12L/100km on the highway. To say that the K900 is smooth and quiet is an understatement, I would put this car up against the new S-Class from Mercedes and a blindfolded passenger would have a hard time distinguishing the difference. What does become apparent is the K900’s lack of steering feedback to the driver and cornering ability. On Highway 3 from Hope towards Penticton the K900 wallowed in the switchback corners, it really didn’t like it at all. Driving back on the Coquihalla was a different story; the K900 shines in open road cruising, making it a wonderful long road trip companion. Verdict The K900 is Kia’s very first pure luxury car and they got a lot right. The interior is as good as anyone in the marketplace and Kia does it at a substantial discount to the competition and power isn’t a problem especially with the big V8 available. But there were a few problems. The automatic lock and unlock feature on the outside doors only unlocked. This is probably a quick fix but an issue and the Bluetooth audio didn’t work either. Another stumbling block is the lack of all wheel drive (AWD). In this segment almost all vehicles sold come with AWD, in fact most companies only offer it. The market for this car is a happy existing Kia owner wanting to upgrade to something more and that is where the V6 model comes into play. Kia might not sell many of these cars but they have it for sale to show anyone that is interested that they can make a true luxury car, maybe not in name but in features and refinement. zack.spencer@drivewaybc. ca The Lowdown Power: 3.8L V6 with 311hp or 5.0L V8 with 420hp Fill-up: 15.7L/10.3L/100km (city/highway V8) Sticker price: $$49,995$69,995

The Flex crossover box design offers an alternative style on the outside and plenty of room inside with third-row seats.
Ford Flex dares to be different by Bob McHugh
Flex is a short name for a big Ford utility/wagon type vehicle that can accommodate six or seven people with ease and seat them with an impressive degree of comfort. Made in Canada, Flex is a hard-to-categorize vehicle that was introduced for the 2009 model year. Not a car, a minivan or an SUV, Flex borrows from them all, so the ‘crossover’ tag is also very appropriate. Stylistically the Ford Flex dares to be different. What appears at first glance to be a simple two-box design is actually more complex. It has generally straight styling lines yet there are no sharp corners. Its two-tone paint finish is separated by the dark centre greenhouse section, which gives Flex a distinctive Styling lines ‘floating roof’ appearance provide an interesting that’s also appealing. On the inside, even with all wrapper for what its seats upright there’s still is actually a very 566 litres (20 cu ft) of cargo space in the back. That jumps practical family to 1,224 litres (43.2 cu. ft) vehicle. with the third row down and Bob McHugh a whopping 2,355 litres (83.2 cu. ft) with the second row flat. The front passenger seat can also fold forward and allows Flex to swallow 3-metre (10 ft) long object, with its liftgate closed. Flex can also have an impressive max towing capacity of 2,041 kg (4,500 lbs), when properly equipped. Originally (in 2009) Flex just came in SEL and Limited trim levels and all-wheel drive was a ($2,000) optional offering. The only engine was a 3.5-litre V6 engine that can deliver 262 horsepower at 6,250 rpm and 248 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,500 rpm. It’s mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and drive goes to the front wheels. Highway fuel economy is surprisingly good 8.4 L/100 km, but the city rating is a much thirstier 12.6 L/100km. Two changes came in 2010 in the form of a new (lower-priced) entry level SE trim version of Flex and the other was a new optional 3.5 litre V6 EcoBoost engine (Limited

trim only). Turbochargers and direct fuel injection allow this engine to provide V8 like power, yet still offer it still offer V6 fuel economy. The MyKey security feature and an AutoFold 60/40 bench seat were both added as standard equipment in all Flex trim levels. A new top-line Titanium edition of Flex was added to the product line in 2011. It comes with the V6 EcoBoost engine and all-wheel-drive. And other than a switch to a centrally mounted rear windshield wiper there were no significant changes in 2012. The 2013 edition of Flex got a mid-life styling refresh that included a slicker new front-end treatment plus minor improvements to both engine offerings. Safety ratings are all top-notch and this, plus high owner reliability ratings, has helped put the Ford Flex on Consumer Reports “Recommended” list of vehicle buys. Although not as fuel-efficient, the standard 3.5 litre engine reportedly has fewer problems compared to the newer and more powerful turbo-charged V6 engine option. Ford Flex not only looks different, it is different … and it’s a Canadian! Polarizing (love/hate) styling lines provide an interesting wrapper for what is actually a very practical family vehicle. Price Check: 2009 - 2013 Ford Flex (September 2014) Year Edition Expect to Pay Today 2009 Flex Limited awd $16,000 to $20,000 2010 Flex Limited awd $19,000 to $23,000 2011 Flex Limited awd $22,000 to $26,000 2012 Flex Limited awd $26,000 to $31,000 2013 Flex Limited awd $31,000 to $36,000 Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history.

Dealers will replace the fuel delivery module. 2013/2014: The right-side halfshaft retention clip may not have been fully engaged. This could allow the halfshaft to separate and result in a loss of motive power. Dealers will inspect halfshafts for full retention and affect repairs as necessary. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Bad things happen to cars in the movies Ever wonder what happened to the famous 1964 Aston D85 Martin from the Bond movie Casino Royale? It was strafed into Swiss cheese during the film – thankfully the car was actually a prop made to look like the real DB5.

They crash and smash many cars in Hollywood. A few months ago we looked at five dramatic destructions here are some more to make you weep. 1964 Aston DB5 Martin (“Skyfall”): In the rebooted James Bond world of Daniel Craig, Bond is seen to have won the DB5 in a card game in the movie Casino Royale. The film’s villain, played by Javier Bardem, puts its nose-mounted machine guns to good use in an attempt to repel an assault. Sadly, Bond’s Aston is strafed into Swiss cheese. Happily, the car was actually a prop made to look like a real DB5. 1985 Corvette (“The Big Lebowski”): A 14-year-old kid named Larry Sellers has Sadly, Bond’s likely stolen Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski’s (Jeff Aston is strafed Bridges’) battered Ford into Swiss cheese. Torino, possibly containHappily, the car was ing a large sum in ransom actually a prop made money. The Dude and his extremely anger manageto look like a real ment-challenged bowling DB5. buddy Walter Sobchak (John Rob Sass Goodman) head for little Larry’s house. On the way in, they’re dismayed to find a red 1985 Corvette parked in front of the house and they figure the kid has already started to blow the money. When standard interrogation techniques prove fruitless, Walter takes a crowbar to the Corvette’s glass. The Corvette turns out to be the neighbour’s car. 1941 Lincoln Continental (“The Godfather”): You could always count on the hot temper of Sonny Corleone. The Barzini Family certainly did. They also knew that when Carlo, the abusive lowlife husband of Sonny’s sister Connie, would hit her, Sonny would respond by unleashing the Hiroshima of beatings on Carlo. The most direct route from Sonny’s fist to the jawbone of Carlo would take him through the tollbooth at the Jones Beach Causeway on Long Island, where the Barzini’s hit men were waiting with Thompson sub-machine guns. The result was not pretty for either Sonny or the Lincoln. 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 (“Fast Times at Ridgemont High”): The Camaro was owned by intimidating high school football prospect Charles Jefferson (played by the great Forrest Whitaker in one of his earliest roles). Jefferson’s little brother and surfer/stoner Jeff Spiccolli (Sean Penn) take the car cruising one night in the San Fernando Valley and wreck it. Spiccolli pops the classic line, “My old man is a TV repairman, and he has an awesome set of tools. I can fix it.” Ultimately, no repairs are undertaken. Rather, the damage is blamed on car thieves from a rival high school whom Ridgemont is playing in a big football game. An incensed rhino-like Jefferson is seen later delivering paralytic revenge hits in the subsequent game. 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE convertible (“The Hangover”): Future father -in-law entrusts his non-Car Guy future son-in-law with his treasured Mercedes convertible for a pre-wedding jaunt with friends. Granted, they were supposed to be heading to sedate California wine country, but they go to Vegas instead. The extreme body damage that the handsome Benz suffers is predictable for anyone who has seen “Animal House.” The damage done to the interior by Mike Tyson’s pet tiger? That’s novel.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder A DEFENDER SHOULD DOUBLE HIS OPTIONS Publilius Syrus, in the first century B.C., was a Syrian slave brought to Italy, but by exhibiting wit and intelligence, he was released and educated by his master. Syrus said, “A gift in season is a double favor to the needy.” The last four columns featured deals in which the declarers tried to maximize their chances of making their contracts. But sometimes a defender should take a page from those declarers’ books. In this deal, East is defending against four hearts. West leads the club seven. East wins with his queen and cashes the club ace, West following with the two to show that he started
with a doubleton. What should East do next? After East opened one club, South had enough points to make a takeout double, planning to bid hearts on the next round to show his strong handtype. But he feared that the opponents would carry the auction uncomfortably high in spades before he could mention his suit. The defense looks so easy: Lead a third club. West will win the trick by ruffing, return a diamond to East’s ace for down one, and perhaps another club will effect a trump promotion. In this deal, though, that backfires badly. Declarer wins the third trick in the dummy, draws trumps and claims. Before getting greedy, East
should cash his diamond ace. Here, West signals with his seven to show the diamond king. East leads another diamond for down one. But if West discourages in diamonds, East returns to clubs, hoping that West has a heart higher than dummy’s seven.
