Officials delay action on gateway signs RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
There will be no quick action to repair crumbling signs at the gateway of Greater Vernon. Regional District of North Okanagan directors deferred a discussion on the condition of the three Welcome to Greater Vernon signs until Jan. 21 although administration asked for direction Wednesday. “It’s not a pressing issue and there will be new people with new ideas,” said director Doug Dirk referring to the Nov. 15 election. Apparently the signs are deteriorating. “We are getting public inquiries that someone needs to do something,” said David Sewell, chief administrative officer. The signs were installed in 2008 by the then-economic development function for Greater Vernon, which disbanded in 2009. “RDNO does not have a function for the operation and maintenance of these signs,” said Sewell of the current chal-

lenge when it comes to any possible repairs. “The creation of such a service could be initiated but it would be unlikely to receive the necessary approvals in time for the 2015 financial plan.” Any function would also depend on whether Vernon, Coldstream and the two electoral areas want to join. At least one board member isn’t sure maintenance is required. “I wonder about the need for the signs,” said director Doug Dirk. “People understand they are in Greater Vernon.” However, director Juliette Cunningham defended the signs that are at the southern, northern and eastern entrances to the area. “I think it’s important to have signs., It’s a point of reference for tourists,” she said. And even if the signs were demolished, director Rob Sawatzky said: “You would still need a budget to take them down.”

Failure still possible after Civic Arena work richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Urgent upgrades are moving ahead at Civic Arena, but there’s still concern the aging facility could suddenly fail. On Tuesday, Vernon council approved $75,000 in major maintenance work to keep Civic running until a replacement ice sheet may be constructed. However, council was warned that even with the repairs, the 77-year-old arena faces significant challenges. “It must be emphasized that regardless of the repairs that are completed, Civic Arena could suffer a major failure of the brine system which would impact the capability to operate the facility,” said Doug Ross, recreation director, in a report to council. “The Carscadden (consulting

Vernon council has approved spending $75,000 on major maintenance required at Civic Arena. firm) report notes that the prospect of imminent failure has been identified.” If the ice plant were to fail, Civic
Arena would be unavailable for minor hockey. Decommissioning of Civic Arena depends on a successful bor-
rowing referendum being held to twin Kal Tire Place. The Regional District of North Okanagan recently scrapped plans for a November referendum because provincial government approvals had not been received for a borrowing bylaw. It’s not known when a referendum could be held. “As it appears that holding a referendum in conjunction with the fall election is no longer a possibility, Civic Arena will need to be operated as an ice facility until at least the spring of 2017,” said Ross. The maintenance work that has been approved includes plumbing, electrical and mechanical. “We will look at what’s the highest priority. We will try and bang them off this fall,” said Ross. Mayor Rob Sawatzky insists the maintenance would have still been

needed even if there was a borrowing referendum in November. “A referendum for a new sheet of ice wouldn’t have dealt with this,” he said of the need to keep Civic functional until a replacement arena can be constructed.

A Lake Country man faces potential impaired driving charges after he rolled his vehicle and injured himself Wednesday. At 4:29 a.m., the RCMP responded to a singlevehicle rollover in the 9000 block of Glenmore Road. “A witness reported that the grey Volkswagen Golf lost control before it literally flew into the air, flipping onto its roof,” said Const. Jesse O’Donaghey. “Police detected an odour of liquor on the driver’s breath and initiated an impaired driving investigation. The driver blew a fail during a test using a roadside screening device but required medical attention and was taken to Kelowna General Hospital for treatment.” The 22-year-old man was later released from hospital and was taken to the Kelowna RCMP detachment where he provided samples of his breath in excess of the legal limit. He faces potential charges of impaired driving and driving while over .08. He has since been released to appear in court at a later date.

What’s in Your Beauty Products? The average woman applies more than 500 chemicals to her body every day. and more!
Make-Up

Deodorant
Every day millions of women slap on body moisturizer, apply lipstick or mascara without a second thought about what they are putting on their skin. A study from the UK claims that the average woman applies more than 500 chemicals to her body every day during her beauty routine.
Why should you be concerned?
Chemicals such as parabens (a synthetic preservative in everything from toothpaste to shampoo) and phthalates (a class of chemicals that are found in many “fragranced” beauty products such as lotions, perfumes and deodorants) are classified as xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens mimic our natural estrogens creating hormone chaos by increasing the total amount of estrogen, resulting in a condition called estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance has been implicated in many conditions including: breast and prostate cancer, obesity, infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, early onset puberty, hormonal acne and PMS.
Xeno-Detox Every Day
EstroSense is a comprehensive liver detoxifier that gently supports the elimination of harmful environmental toxins and helps to bring back hormone synergy. Along with other key ingredients, EstroSense contains milk thistle which is one of the most researched herbs when it comes to liver detoxification and liver cell regeneration. Curcumin, indole-3-carbinol, sulforaphane, calcium-d-glucarate, green tea extract, lycopene and rosemary extract are all very effective for supporting healthy hormone balance. So starting now, read labels and stay informed, check out The Environmental Working Group website www. ewg.org as well as Campaign for Safe Cosmetics www. safecosmetics.org for more information about how you can protect yourself.

Armstrong candidates launch campaigns said she’d bring a strong work ethic as well as an ability to work closely with others to the table. “I now have the time to listen to ideas, research proposed projects and see projects to the end. I am skilled at working well with others and am a team player,” said Werner, who has two children and three grandkids who all live in Armstrong. “My main priorities for the city are revitalize the downtown core and to keep developing Memorial Park.” Werner is a volunteer, belonging to various organizations helping out where she can. The longest has been with the Armstrong Lions Club where Werner has been vicepresident, president, secretary, bingo chair and a member of the scholarship committee. She is currently a volunteer driver assisting citizens to various medical appointments. Being hit hard by the recession caused Robert Thibeau and his wife to re-enter the work force in 2009, both landing employment with 7-Eleven. A resident of Armstrong since 2006, Thibeau became known in the community for his battle with the current council over the installation of water meters, something he believes was done against the majority of residents’ wishes. “To this end, I would like to see an entirely

Vernon firefighters want residents to have working smoke detectors. On Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., firefighters will donate their time to go door-to-door to encourage residents of Sandy Beach Mobile Home Park to test their smoke alarms and replace their batteries. “Almost 70 per cent of houses that caught fire in B.C. didn’t have a functioning smoke alarm,” said fire chief Keith Green. “Children and the elderly face the highest risk of dying in a residential fire. We want to do our part to eliminate that risk.” Firefighters will also replace or
install new smoke alarms donated by the Silver Star Rotary Club, Okanagan Restoration and Johnston Meier Insurance. All testing and installation will be done at no cost to homeowners. The smoke alarm program was launched 2012 in the Big Chief Mobile Home Park when Vernon firefighters checked 140 smoke alarms and replaced more than a dozen expired or non-functioning smoke alarms. Working smoke alarms could reduce annual fire deaths in B.C. by as much as 32 per cent, and research reveals a link between working smoke alarms and reduced fatalities from residential structure fires.

Among his top priorities, if elected, Thibeau said he would enact a recall bylaw
where Armstrong citizens could remove politicians not abiding by the wishes of the major-
ity, and enact a bylaw allowing residents to vote yes or no to council salary increases.

The question before the electors is whether they are opposed to the Regional District adopting BX Swan Lake Firehall Expansion Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 2640, 2014 which authorizes the Regional District to borrow up to $1,500,000 to be repaid over a twenty (20) year term to facilitate construction of an expansion to the existing BX/Swan Lake Firehall located at 5764 Silver Star Road, Vernon, BC. The estimated annual cost to an average single family parcel is $36.37. The Regional District may proceed with the approval of the BX Swan Lake Firehall Expansion Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 2640, 2014 unless at least ten percent (10%) of the qualified electors within the BX Swan Lake Fire Protection Area indicate their opposition by signing an Elector Response Form as established by the Board of Directors. The Regional District has estimated the total number of qualified electors in the BX Swan Lake Firehall service area to be 4,625. If 10% (462) of the estimated number of qualified electors sign an Alternative Approval Process Elector Response Form opposing the adoption of Bylaw 2640, 2014 the Regional District will not be able to proceed without receiving assent of the electors before proceeding. Be advised that: - Elector response forms must be given in the form established by the Board of Directors and are available at the following location: Regional District of North Okanagan at: 9848 Aberdeen Road Coldstream, BC V1B 2K9 or on our website http://www.rdno.ca/index.php/about/elections-other-voting - The only persons entitled to sign the elector response forms are the qualified electors within the BX Swan Lake Firehall service area to which this Alternative Approval Process applies. Deadline for receipt of Elector Response Forms: - 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 25, 2014. - Forms must be received by the deadline to be counted. No exceptions will be made.

Lucky No. 17
y favourite NHL player growing up will surprise you. Yes, he played for my favourite team, the Montreal Canadiens. But it wasn’t Guy Lafleur or Ken Dryden or Larry Robinson or Serge Savard or Chris Nilan. It was Murray Wilson. Yes, Murray Wilson, native of Toronto, played six seasons with the Habs, mostly as a third- or fourth-line forward. Won four Stanley Cups. I liked him because he wore No. 17, my favourite number. I had my mom knit the No. 17, in grey yarn (hey, it’s all she had at the time), on my white Roger Knox Habs sweater, and I pretended to be Wilson in stirring games of road hockey with buddies near West Vernon School. Even stapled myself to the road hockey bench to be like him. According to the Montreal Canadiens’ guide book, Wilson was the 17th player to wear No. 17. Of the 16 players who wore the number before Wilson, the list includes Hall of Famer Jean Beliveau for a time in 1951 (before switching to No. 4). Twelve players have worn it since Wilson joined the L.A. Kings for his final NHL season, 1978-79. The number is currently worn by Rene Borque but only Benoit Brunet wore it as long as Wilson did, five seasons. I have no idea why Wilson chose No. 17. He was born on Remembrance Day, Nov. 11. Maybe it’s because he was the 17th player to wear the number? Maybe he scored 17 goals in a month in junior? Maybe it was Wilson’s favourite number because of fun facts, like it takes 17 muscles to produce a smile. The Parthenon, dedicated to Greek goddess Athena, is 17 columns long.
At rAndoM
King Tut was wrapped in 17 cloths. The stegosaurus had 17 bony plates on its back. Friday the 13th is considered unlucky in North America, but in Italy, Friday the 17th is supposed to bring bad luck. In the wonderfully hilarious film Chicken Run, the chickens hatched most of their schemes in Hut 17. Stalag 17, of course, is an epic film about prisoners of war. Sherlock Holmes’ residence at 221B Baker Street had 17 steps leading up to the door. The No. 17 has been immortalized in song, with nobody lamenting turning 17 more than Janis Ian in her 1975 classic At 17, which reached No. 3 on the Billboard charts. I learned the truth at seventeen That love was meant for beauty queens And high school girls with clear-skinned smiles Who married young and then retired The valentines I never knew The Friday night charades of youth Were spent on one more beautiful The song combats the sweet and sugary 16 songs from Neil Sedaka (Happy Birthday Sweet 16), The Crests (16 Candles), Chuck Berry (Sweet Little 16) and Johnny Burnette (You’re 16, You’re Beautiful and You’re Mine). Research (OK, clicking onto 17 Fun Facts and Myths website) states that 17 was the original title of the Beatles’ song I Saw Her Standing There. Well, she was just 17 You know what I mean… I got married on the 17th of September. While that didn’t work out, it did produce one awesome son, whose birthday is...not today but later this month. Today, of course, is Oct. 17 and it happens to be my birthday, which is why 17 is my favourite number. It’s my 51st birthday or, as a dear friend pointed out to me, it’s my third time being 17. For a guy refusing to grow up, that sentiment is certainly apropos.
The federal Conservative government deserves credit for recognizing that childhood fitness is an issue and that sports activities are expensive. But let’s face it, the doubling of the tax credit for children under 16 from $500 to $1,000 is just a drop in the bucket when it comes to getting kids active and fit. Now, parents can get back up to 15 per cent of their children’s registration or membership fees at tax time but it’s really just a gesture and an acknowledgement that the original $500 tax credit was far too low, especially if you have more than one child registered in more than one sport. What sweetens the pot slightly is the maximum credit actually works as a refund of $150, meaning that families whose incomes are too low to benefit will get some assistance, although they have to spend a lot to benefit just a little. Cynics will argue that the Conservatives are just buying votes — with voters’ own money — in advance of a federal election a year from now. But people’s memories aren’t that long and the refund or tax credit isn’t worth that much. What would make a difference would be a national fitness strategy to encourage families to make health and fitness a priority. Currently, this is left up to cities to do, with some encouragement from provincial governments or regional health authorities, and other non-profit agencies. What’s missing is a culture of active living because everybody is so strapped for time, people drive everywhere and sitting in front of a screen all day is seen as the most productive way of getting things done. Could a pan-national strategy address more issues over a long-term time frame? Absolutely, and it’s not just kids who could benefit from incentives to employers and agencies to get everyone moving and being healthy. – Campbell River Mirror

water plan support When I moved to Coldstream (Vernon Irrigation District water) from California I was appalled at the brown water that came from my tap in the spring, and the frequent boil water advisories. I had trouble believing I was living in a first world country. The U.S. EPA certainly has its flaws, but insisting on clean, safe tap water isn’t one of them. The Duteau Water Treatment Facility has improved our water significantly, but it still does not meet post Walkerton provincial water safety standards, and it needs to. These standards are not excessive, and they are for our benefit – to protect us from water-borne disease. The technical advisory committee is made up of knowledgeable experts in the field who have thoroughly and meticulously examined all the possibilities

Who's representing Vernon?
oes anyone know where our mayor lives? Just asking because I am trying to figure out why our present city council seems so much more concerned with the wants of our "neighbours" instead of the citizens who elected them. Case in point: The new Parks Agreement gives our most valuable property, Kal Beach which belonged to Vernon, to RDNO. In return we got some disjointed, undeveloped lots on Kin Beach. Then we didn't bother to buy the property separating these lots. We also got the dubious privilege of bearing the sole cost of running Polson Park, the most labour-intensive park in the area. I love my neighbours, but if they asked me for my swimming pool, I would have to decline. After all, we're talking about the legacy of my family. Case in Point: Abandoning numerous public input committees, including Land Use, Environmental, Heritage Advisory and Sister City among others in the name of cost saving. Then hiring a full-time "Communications" person. Clearly city hall wants to talk at us, rather than hear

from us. Case in Point: Moving the Visitors Centre to the most picturesque part of town. Hello? Is anyone listening? Case in Point: Reversing a decision to ask us if we would like to have a study on amalgamation even though it was recommended in the $80,000 core services review they campaigned on. No one can force amalgamation, so why not find out if it benefits anyone? Perhaps it would prove beneficial to our neighbours as well. Who
and determined the cost of each option. If you haven’t gone to one of their presentations I would recommend that you do (the last one is at the Regional District of North Okanagan Office October 28 from 5 to 7 p.m.). We must consider our current system with its advantages and disadvantages, and we have to plan for the future. Because our system developed using two water sources, Kalamalka Lake and Duteau Creek it is too costly to start from scratch and use Okanagan Lake water. Yes, the plan that the technical advisory committee is recommending is expensive, but what value would we put on our health? And we have no choice, our water must meet provincial safety standards. Providing safe drinking water to 55,000 people is not cheap,
but not bringing our water up to safety standards in a organized, intelligent manner is only going to be more expensive in the long run. Janet parkins water woes I want to comment on water rates that Vernon and area (Coldstream, BX, etc) are charged. The water rates are very very high. Compare rates to Kelowna or Salmon Arm and they pay far, far less. There is no way the GVWA has to be nor should be allowed to charge as high as 2.15 per cubic metre, never mind a basic rate of $100 per quarter just for the right to have water available! Never mind the high consumption charges on top of the basic $100 quarterly charges. Now they are talking $70 million in expansion fees over the next few years.

loses by asking us? Case in Point: The "neighbours" get more attention than those who chose to amalgamate (Okanagan Landing). Case in Point: The recent dispute about adjacent property owners wanting to hook up to Vernon sewer. They have to be part of the city in order to be billed for city services. Yet our neighbours accuse us of gobbling up their tax base. We are told there is no interest in amalgamation, yet these property owners are given no choice at all.
My first question was asked somewhat facetiously, and yet brings to mind another question. Has anyone who lives in the city of Vernon ever been elected as mayor or council member in Coldstream? Or as a director in Area B or C? Yet our elected officials are often from throughout the greater Vernon area. What about employees? Do any Vernon residents work at Coldstream city hall? I'm just asking because it seems that this spirit of cooperation and inclusiveness only runs one way. Everyone wants to be included in the City of Vernon decisions, just not as a taxpayer. And as a Vernon taxpayer, I find this disconcerting. I don't know where our mayor lives. I tried to look it up. However I do know where the reporter who editorializes so often on the importance of cooperation with the neighbours lives....and it's not in Vernon. Jocelyn Hill
One can only imagine the rates then? Just to show how expensive GVWA rates are: If one has say nine zones of underground water sprinklers and sets each zone for 45 minutes you will consume approximately 24 cubic metres and if you are at the 80K plus rate your paying max rate that's set you pay $51.60 just to water your lawn once. It's outrageous to say the least. This year I had to just let the lawn go brown in hot weather as it's just not affordable. Another thing that is totally wrong is if a person has five acres they're excluded form these outrageous consumer rates and are on a allocation setting where they pay far less to water the same lawn as you or I. Very unfair to say the least I will vote no for the $70 million referendum. paul Dunbar

Garlick. “They are supposedly going to be coming to us.” Coldstream also recieved news that the Kalamalka Lake lookout will become a designated rest area. “It won’t have toilets but it will get improved service and that’s what we were hoping for,” said Garlick. Other regional politicians also brought some attention to local issues. Mike Macnabb, Regional District of North Okanagan BX-Silver Star director, raised representation issues with the Interior Health Authority. Macnabb actually pulled the resolution, to make IHA representation more universal, out of the ‘C’ section and gained sufficient support. “It was put onto the floor and it passed so that was huge on his part,” said Coun. Maria Besso. Changes to the Agricultural Land Commission Act were another hot topic at UBCM An ALC clinic outlined questions asked of the public during the consultation of proposed changes, including issues around meat processing and wineries and cideries to sell more. “People don’t want the ALC to lose control of (issues).” Despite the changes, the ALC remains dedicated to the land. “The two goals are still to protect agricultural land and enhance the profitability of agriculture.” Coun. Richard Enns even met Agricultural Minister Norm Letnick. “Some of the discussions we had were around benefits of having an independent, well-staffed agricultural commission,” said Enns, who also questioned where Coldstream’s requested manure management regulations stand. Coldstream also met with Environment Minister Mary Polak on the new water sustainability act, among other issues. “They will also be looking at manure management,” said Garlick.

to chief administrative officer in June. RDNO directors held their first budget meeting Wednesday. “We plan on having input from a variety of stakeholders,” said Sewell, adding that the process will include public input. The first draft of the budget will be before the board Jan. 21 and the document is expected to be adopted March 4. A number of forces could impact the district’s bottom line, including economic conditions, regulations and demographics. The election of new regional board members Nov. 15 could possibly slow down the process. “Is there some way to bring the newly elected officials up to speed so they’re not sitting there thinking, ‘I don’t know what’s going on?’” said director Mike Macnabb. Among the issues that will be considered during budget deliberations will be solid waste, a new Greater Vernon cultural plan and a review of the building inspection service. RDNO could also proceed with $70 million in upgrades to the Greater Vernon water utility. “That’s a question mark until we get past the (Nov. 15 borrowing) referendum,” said Sewell.

The Landing’s Very Own...
Holiday lights split council RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The conversation wasn’t very festive as Vernon officials debated what to do with Christmas lights. There was some opposition after most of city council decided Christmas star decorations can only be installed on light standards along a portion of 30th Avenue and not the entire length of main street. “This is the city micromanaging something we’ve given to the Downtown Vernon Association to do,” said Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe, adding that it will lead to some blocks being more decorative than others. “This is unnecessar-

ily dividing our main street.” The issue of the star lights arose last year when city crews were installing two per pole on 30th Avenue, east of 32nd Street. “A DVA individual instructed the employees to split the stars and put one on each post down the entire length of main street,” said Will Pearce, the city’s chief administrative officer. That led to a review
of records and in the absence of documents indicating who purchased the lights, the city has determined ownership resides with the specified area of property owners on the east end of 30th Avenue. That means the star lights can only be used by them and not along other parts of the road where property owners did not contribute with the purchase. “These are enhancements paid for by the

businesses in the area,” said Coun. Catherine Lord. That view was supported by Coun. Juliette Cunningham, who has a business on the east side of 30th Avenue. “The city and the DVA can’t distribute the assets of a specified area to someone else,” she said. But O’Keefe questions how far the city goes with the concept that the star lights belong to the property owners on the east side of 30th Avenue. “They own the asset so should we say, ‘You maintain it now or you replace it?’” she said. The DVA is frustrated with council’s actions. “Staff at the city and DVA staff have been working for months to come up with a solution to this issue. We thought we came up with a solution for lights on 30th Avenue,” said Lara Konkin, DVA executive director. “It appears council is not aware of that process.” Konkin says the DVA has agreed to purchase star lights for the rest of 30th Avenue and those on the east side would be upgraded to be energy efficient and have the same design as the new lights. “We want 30th Avenue to look like one cohesive group.” Konkin wants the council decision revisited. “I hope it doesn’t stop the process we came up with,” she said.

Projects done Morning Star Staff
Government officials gathered Wednesday with local residents to celebrate the completion of three major infrastructure projects in Lake Country. Among the projects was renovations to the sewer treatment facility. This work receive $4.1 million from the federal gas tax fund. In addition, upgrades were made to the Beasley Park parking lot. Thanks to an extensive makeover, including new paving, landscaping, lighting and signage, the upgraded parking lot will function as a transit park and ride facility. Funding for this just over $1 million project came from the gas tax fund, B.C. Transit and the District of Lake Country. Lastly, the project to restore Bottom Wood Lake Road and upgrade local active transportation networks will help improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists, transit and vehicle traffic. The project included $207,000 from the federal gas tax fund, $52,700 from ICBC and $604,000 from the district. “Each of these three infrastructure projects demonstrate the importance of federal and provincial government leadership and support through the Union of B.C. Municipalities, and highlight what can be done by solidifying partnerships that focus on public safety, health and environmental protection,” said Mayor James Baker. “These infrastructure improvements make Lake Country a safer and sustainable community; and we appreciate the hard work of staff and contractors to get them done on time and on budget.”

authorities may disagree with the BCNU assessment that they are unprepared. But Kendall said the handling of each of the three recent suspect cases before being ruled out – turned up some issues in need of improvement. He described those cases as low to medium risk. North American anxiety about the disease outbreak that has killed thousands in West Africa soared after a patient arrived in Texas with the virus and later died. A nurse there subsequently tested positive for the virus although it’s unclear how she was exposed. “Given the concern over the breakdown of infection control we heard from Texas It is really appropriate for us to double up on that and make sure people who are going to be on the front lines are confident and competent and comfortable putting the equipment on and particularly in taking it off,” said Kendall. The risk from Ebola to the public in B.C. is “vanishingly small, if not zero,” he added. Unlike airborne viruses, Ebola can only be caught through direct contact with bodily fluids of a patient who has symptoms.

First Transit earns award Morning Star Staff
First Transit made a strong statement about how much it values its workers by participating successfully in WorkSafeBC’s voluntary Partners in Injury and Disability Prevention Program. The company, which operates transit in 15 locations in B.C. including Vernon, achieved the certificate of recognition and celebrated with a recent staff appreciation barbecue. On the guest list were representatives from the City of Vernon, the Regional District of North Okanagan, WorkSafeBC, and B.C. Transit. “Our success is because we have a dedicated team at all levels who understand safety and who are a part of the culture that makes us first,” said Lynn Cohoe, regional safety manager, who led the team through a process that involved the review of the safety management system, 72 employee interviews and a tour of five locations. Along with Vernon, the other locations that participated in the audit were Kamloops, Victoria handyDart, Kitimat and Terrace. According to auditor John Dunn, the success represents the collective commitment to safety and is a reflection of a professional operational environment focused on excellence. “He recognized and complemented the personal commitment of all employees to the health and safety program, and encouraged First Transit to continue to grow its program, commenting that he believes First has the potential to become the industry leader in health and safety management within B.C.,” said Cohoe.

“Where Students Come First”
What can you expect at vLearn.ca?
The strong volunteer spirit in Lake Country is acknowledged in the new Adopt-a-Road program. The program will help the district offer a higher service level with minimal budget impact and it allows residents to take more pride in their community by picking up the litter along select rural roads. “We always have a good turnout for the 20-minute clean-up each spring,” said Mayor James Baker. “Now we have a way to formally let people get involved on a regular basis. Engineering will even install road signs to acknowledge each group’s contribution and commitment

Lake Country has adopted an Adopt-A-Road program for volunteers to join. to adopting a one kilometer section of road for a period of two years.” Each volunteer group can schedule the roadside clean-up work
whenever it suits them during daylight hours, and make advance arrangements with the district so all bagged litter is picked up by the engineering roads crew

Latina loving life in Viper den KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Anthony Latina spent his summer handling a hammer for his father Angelo’s construction company and setting up tables and booths for his mother Diana’s trade show business. Latina is also a work of art on the art of work at the rink. His toolbox is packed 24-7 as Vernon Vipers’ fans have witnessed nine games into the B.C. Hockey League season. The 20-year-old right winger from Scarborough, Ont. is with his fifth Junior A team, fitting in half a season with Major Junior Quebec Remparts on the resume. “On and off the ice, I’m a well-rounded individual and I think I owe it to all the coaches that I have had over the years,” said Latina, recruited by Jason Williamson after skating with the Carleton Place Canadians in the Royal Bank Cup in Vernon. “I just try and learn from whoever I can. Being around these great hockey guys and different teams, I try and learn everyday from all of them so it’s been good.” The 5-foot-10, 180-pounder also spent a few moments in the off-season disecting a devastating loss to the Yorkton Terriers in the RBC final and considering his next hockey destination. “Being in the town, I knew it would be a great fit for me. I knew it was a real good hockey community and I couldn’t wait to get here and I’m glad I did.” As one of six 20-year-olds, he is expected to provide leadership. He makes a point of hanging out with rookies and showing them proper behaviour while inserting some fun within coach Mark Ferner’s fast-paced practices. “I think we’re a hard-working team,” added Latina, the oldest of four siblings. “We’re a little smaller than what the Vernon community is used to. It’s gonna be an adjustment period. Even though we’re small, we’re just gonna have to work twice as hard to skate a little harder and outwork the bigger guys. Mark has put down a really good structure for us and once we perfect it there won’t be any team that we can’t beat.” Viper d-man Luke Shiplo was a Latina teammate when the two were rookies with the Toronto Lakeshore Patriots in 2011. “He’s a pretty nice guy and he gets along with all the players,” said Shiplo. “On the ice, he’s definitely a real good player and helps the team a lot. He’s always working hard in practice and he’s great to be around in the

Right winger Anthony Latina works on a skating drill at Vernon Viper practice. room. He can be funny if he wants to be.” Latina scored once in the RBC, but is better known for taking an enormous bodycheck from bruising Viper blueliner Josh Bryan in preliminary play. “Everybody asks me about the hit,” smiled Latina. “I don’t remember much from after the hit took place. I remember getting to the bench and just kind of wondering where I was. I went into a dark room after that and then I watched the hit and thought it was a little late. I sat out for the next game and
came back the game after that. Probably a bit too soon, but it was the RBC Cup so you gotta do what you gotta do.” Said Viper alternate captain T.J. Dumonceaux: “I didn’t see it until he was on the ice and then I watched the replay later. I just remember him (Bryan) getting a penalty and hearing him say he shouldn’t have got one. It’s funny to look back at it now.” Dumonceaux says Latina, who is second in Viper scoring with four goals and seven points, brings a variety of positives to
the den. “He’s a more vocal guy for sure. It’s really good to have him here. It shows a lot about our organization having him come all this way to play. We’re excited to have him; he’s a big part of our team. He’s scored some big goals for us already. He works hard and he’s showing up in the gym and doing all the right things as a 20-year-old.” Latina attended the all-boys St. Jean de Brebeuf Catholic High School from Grades 9-12 and also took some classes at the University of Toronto. He’s a Leafs’ fan who played the midfield in soccer, outfield in baseball and scrum half in rugby. He has been a trade-deadline upgrade a few times, last year collecting two goals and four points with the Remparts before ringing up 15 points in 10 regular-season tilts and another nine points in 16 playoff games for Carleton Place. Performing in front of huge crowds in hockey-crazed Quebec City was a huge thrill. “They don’t have an NHL team in Quebec City and Montreal is about two and a half hours away so we were the real deal I guess. It was great, the support, the fans, it was a great hockey community. Vernon’s great in a different way. I like it here a lot. Ten thousand fans or 2,500 or 2,000 that we get here, it’s all good.” The 5-3-0-1 Vipers entertain the 8-1 Penticton Vees tonight. The Vees, who are ranked No. 4 in Canada, have 13 players with U.S. scholarships, including 16-yearold Tyson Jost, their leading pointgetter with 13. D-man Dante Fabbro, 16, has nine points with the Vees. He was the 2013 HockeyNow B.C. Minor Hockey Player of the Year. and racked up 61 points with the Major Midget Vancouver Northwest Giants last year. Ex-Viper Demico Hannoun has 6-4-10. SNAKE BITES: Viper 16-year-old Jagger Williamson is playing like a veteran. “I’m feeling great out there,” he said. “The jump from Midget Triple A is big, but I try to slow the pace down to my level and just move the puck and don’t make too many mistakes.” Williamson and Fabbro are both Seattle Thunderbird drafts...G Danny Todosychuk (groin injury) practised this week and may be ready tonight...Vernon visits West Kelowna Warriors Saturday night...Viper grad Colton Sparrow plays for the Alaska-Fairbanks Nanooks, not the Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves, as reported Wednesday.

Ethan Eisenhauer of the Fulton Maroons latches onto ball carrier Parker Matheson of the Westsyde Blue Wave for the tackle in junior varsity football action Wednesday at Grahame Park.
Fulton slams Westsyde Morning Star Staff
The Fulton Maroons earned their first win of the season Wednesday at Grahame Park, a 42-0 pounding of the Westsyde Blue Wave of Kamloops. The Maroons, now 1-2 in the Okanagan Junior Varsity Football Conference, were led by two rushing touchdowns from quarterback Isaac Olson, a 50-yarder and a one-yarder. Other rushing TDs came from Ethan Eisenhauer (10 yards), Cole Hunter (five yards) and Liam Higgs (seven yards). Caden Doyle returned an interception 34 yards for Fulton’s other score. The Maroons managed 29 yards passing, with Olson completing 4-of-7 attempts. Doyle had three catches for 26 yards. On defence, Logan Emes and Koalden Gudeit Oakden each racked up four tackles and Andrew Goldenthal had three. “It was nice to get our first JV win,” said Fulton head coach Mike Scheller. “The boys have worked
hard and they deserved the victory. “We were happy with the discipline our kids showed in that we committed very few errors. We knew our assignments, reduced our turnovers and had only two penalties.” Scheller helped tighten the defence by simplifying their scheme. He credited the players for played a faster, more aggressive style. “Logan Emes had a great game at linebacker, as did DEs Hunter Krieger and Andrew Goldenthal. Offensively, we moved the ball well and benefited from great field position provided by the defence.” The o-line of Tyler Deboer, Ryan Rumsey, Goldenthal, Krieger and Quinn Miller protected well and opened big holes for Fulton’s backs. Meanwhile, the Vernon Panthers host the Salmon Arm Golds in varsity play this afternoon, 2 p.m., at Grahame Park. Fulton hosts the South Kamloops Titans in varsity play Saturday, noon, at Grahame.
Knights prepare for Storm Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan Knights’ offence continued to struggle in a 3-0 loss to the host Princeton Posse Wednesday night. The Knights, second-to-last in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League at 2-6-0-2, have the worst offence (1.60 goals-for average) in the 20-team loop. North Okanagan has managed more than two goals only twice this season. Things won’t get any easier tonight when the Knights entertain the league coleading Kamloops Storm (8-4-0-1), 7:30, at Nor-Val Sports Centre. They head back to Princeton for a rematch with the Posse Saturday. “The mood overall is good. I think they’re ready to bounce back,” said Knights’ head coach Jim Armstrong. “The guys need to keep it relaxed and keep it fun. We’re worried about scoring goals instead of going out and just creating things. It’s just getting a
mind-set of getting pucks to the net..” The Knights kept it scoreless going into the second period before Destin Robinson opened the scoring for Princeton (6-3-1-2) 5:56 into the frame. “We’ve been working hard on our offensive game and it showed in the first period,” said Armstrong. “We hemmed them in hard and had good pressure. We came out in the second and for whatever reason the hunger and desire wasn’t there.” Colton St John added two more goals in period three, including an empty netter with 27 seconds to play. Stephen Heslop recorded 17 saves for his first shutout of the season. Mitch Profeit made 30 saves for the Knights. ICE CHIPS: Defenceman Austin Garrington and forward Logan Geefs, both Vernon products, were named assistant captains this week. Garrington (1-6-7 in 10 games) and Geefs (2-4-6 in 10 games) are one-two in Knights’ scoring.

Bridge by Phillip Alder USE THE BIDDING TO GUIDE THE PLAY Joshua Foer, the 2006 American memory champion, said, “One trick, known as the journey method or ‘memory palace,’ is to conjure up a familiar space in the mind’s eye, and then populate it with images of whatever it is you want to remember.” This week, we are looking at deals in which declarer must conjure up in his mind’s eye the tricks that he needs to make his contract. He must also remember how the auction proceeded -- which is important in this deal -- and picture the cards that are played by the opponents. South is in our favourite contract of three no-trump and West leads the heart eight
in answer to his partner’s overcall. How should South plan the play? South starts with six top tricks: two spades, one heart (given the lead), one diamond and two clubs. He should play on diamonds to establish four tricks there. However, he will probably lose the lead while doing that and must try to make it impossible for the defenders to take one diamond and four hearts. If declarer plays a low heart or the 10 from dummy at trick one, East will cover cheaply. Here, South can then get home by ducking the trick, but that would work badly if East had king-third of diamonds. And if South takes the first trick with his king,
ON NOW
when West gets in with his diamond king, a second heart lead will kill the contract. Instead, declarer should play dummy’s heart queen at trick one. This forces East to win with the ace, and he cannot continue hearts without conceding a second trick in the suit.

Theatre season starts with Pulitzer winner Kristin Froneman
Morning Star Staff
It’s the character that made movie and stage actor Morgan Freeman a star. In 1987, Freeman took to the stage in Alfred Uhry’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play Driving Miss Daisy. Two years later, he would star in the film version of the play as the proud and affable Hoke Colburn, starring with Jessica Tandy as the stubborn and stately Jewish matriarch Miss Daisy, in what would be his first prominent film role, and an Oscar nominated one at that. Greater Vernon audiences can buckle up to take a road trip to the deep south when these two beloved characters come back to life in Driving Miss Daisy, which stages at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre for one night only, Monday. The comedy-drama is the first of five plays in the Vernon Performing Arts Centre’s theatre series. Spanning from 1948 to 1973 in Atlanta, Ga., Driving Miss Daisy reveals the power of the human heart to overcome prejudices and open up to new possibilities, said the play’s director Ashlie Corcoran. Also artistic director at Thousand Islands Playhouse, Corcoran helmed Driving Miss Daisy earlier this year at the theatre
Jay KopinsKi/ Thousand islands playhouse
Nicola Lipman and Walter Borden star in the Pulitzer Prize winning play Driving Miss Daisy, which comes to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Monday. in Gananoque, Ont. in partnership with Western Canada Theatre in Kamloops. The two theatres are currently producing the play at Kamloops’ Sagebrush Theatre before it comes to Vernon.
“This play examines different types of prejudice in society – against African Americans, Jews, the elderly and women. It also looks at the struggle to retain dignity in one’s old age,” said Corcoran.“The
play explores these themes in a beautiful way, through the exploration of an unlikely friendship. We see a rigid professional relationship ripen into a deep friendship that gives Hoke and Daisy purpose
through their golden years.” In the Western Canada/Thousand Island’s production, Nicola Lipman takes on the role of Daisy Werthan, a wealthy widow who is reluctant to accept the help of the new chauffeur (played by Walter Borden) hired by her son Boolie (Brian Linds). But over the course of 25 years, they share humorous adventures and find their relationship blossoming from one of necessity to one of true friendship at a time when the law enforced segregation throughout the U.S. That developing relationship has had an impact with audiences around the world and locally. Daryl Cloran, artistic director of Western Canada Theatre, says he became emotional after reading Ulry’s script for the first time last year. “By the time I got to the end of the script, tears were streaming down my face, and I knew we needed to bring this story to our audiences,” he said. “It’s such a funny, heartfelt story about people being good to each other. And about how friendship triumphs in the most unlikely places.” Tickets for Driving Miss Daisy, staging Monday at 7:30 p.m. at the Performing Arts Centre, are $45 for adults, $42 for seniors and $40 for students at the Ticket Seller, 5497469, www.ticketseller.ca.
Vernon Jazz Society pays ode to two jazz heroes
Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Jazz Society (VJS) is about to pay tribute to two of its founding fathers. In mid-September, members of the society were shocked to learn that local jazz heroes Tom Collins and Doug Grant had died within five days of one another. Both men were instrumental in the development of the VJS and the Vernon Jazz Club and in bringing both local and international jazz acts to the Vernon area, said VJS past president Brian McMahon. In 1999, Collins, along with Curt Latham and Gerry Sholomenko, formulated the framework for what would become the Vernon Jazz Society. “Tom was interested in finding a spot where we could listen to music that wasn’t too loud, couples could have a dance or two, and local musicians would have a stage,” said McMahon, adding he remem-

announced a concert by the VJS in the basement of the Sandman Inn. It was Collins who was instrumental in negotiating to take over the then failing Vernon Club, a former men’s-only club
located upstairs in the historical building owned by Nolan’s pharmacy, to establish a new home for the Vernon Jazz Club. As a volunteer, Collins dedicated most of his time to the maintenance of the furnace and air conditioning in the attic of the building, as well as servicing the refrigerators and plumbing at the club. “When the club was informed by the fire department that a fire escape was needed, it was Tom who oversaw the construction of the fire escape. Because the club did not have the up-front money for the project, Tom put his own money in until a fundraiser was held to pay for the fire escape,” said McMahon. In 2009, Collins spearheaded the 31st Street Jazz Jump, which raised more than $7,000 for scholarships and improvements to the club.

Steel Wound: Last Dance at the Starlight Lounge
V
ernon folk-roots trio Steel Wound uses their harmonizing skills to add an unmistakable western atmosphere to their acoustic-based songs on Last Dance at the Starlight Lounge. The songs are character-driven and redolent of the B.C. acoustic folk-rock tradition. The three-piece, Keith Hustler (guitar, mandolin, vocals), Rod MacDonald (acoustic bass, vocals) and Kerry Parks (guitar, dobro, harmonica, vocals) pick nimbly through a collection of Parks’ original material and sympathetic cover songs. Interplay and clean delivery are keys
to the trio’s sound: a sense of swing that evokes barn dances and rural beer parlours. Being westerners the twang is muted and the melodies are poignant and relaxed. That Same Old Sad Love Song captures that quality and moves it further with the lines, “You came walkin’ in with an old Dean Gordon-Smith friend/And the start of our love story/ Was his love story’s end.” The mood and sound the group goes for is akin to Dylan’s
Street SoundS
Nashville Skyline album. A true slice of old-school Canadiana is revealed on No Sad Songs, a plaintive lost love track that recalls Neil Young’s quieter moments. Freight Train has a similar appeal with a forward acoustic drive. Like other B.C. acoustic groups, Steel Wound has a sweet tooth for Tex-Mex on their cover of Catch You in the Rye, a party song featuring crisp guitar work. They ring their guitars out and frame their stories with easy going harmonies. It’s a friendly sound with intensity underneath it. Ed note: Steel Wound holds a seedy (CD) release party for Last Dance at the Starlight Lounge, Oct. 24 at the Vernon Elks Lodge.

Twelve ancient cultures were chosen millennia ago to represent humanity in Endgame, a global game that will decide the fate of humankind. Endgame has always been a possibility, but never a reality…until now. Twelve meteorites have just struck Earth, each meteorite containing a message for a Player who has been trained for this moment. At stake for the Players: saving their bloodline, as well as the fate of the world. And only one can win. Endgame is real. Endgame is now. Endgame has begun.

musicians (including Collins) volunteered their services to put on an amazing evening of high quality jazz, said McMahon. In addition to sponsoring the VJ’s Café jam night, Grant helped improve the club by assisting with construction alterations and maintenance. He also donated most of the jazz posters and pictures, which still hang on the club’s walls. In recent years, Grant played frequently at the club, entertaining with his drumming and singing. He also joined his sons, Doug Jr., Ian and Bob, and daughter, Carolyn, all accomplished musicians, in The Grant Family Band, whose many appearances at the club were a huge hit with patrons. “Last spring I was honoured to be asked by Doug to be part of a trio of concerts,” said McMahon. “Doug was a class act and a delight to perform with.” There will be a celebration of life for Grant at the Vernon Jazz Club, Saturday from 3 to 6 p.m. Collins will be honoured at the club Nov. 1 from 1 to 3 p.m. “Jazz musicians are welcome to musically pay their respects to these fine gentlemen by joining in the jam sessions,” said McMahon.

hen his mother dies, a big-city lawyer Hank Palmer (Robert Downey Jr.) returns to his rural hometown for her funeral. While home he discovers his father, the judge (Robert Duvall), is about to be put on trial for murder. At odds with his entire family, but especially his father, only by representing him can Palmer suss out the truth, not only about the case, but also about themselves. We say, “Just because Gone Girl came out is no reason to miss The Judge.” TAYLOR: Especially if you’re older, this is a film about relationships at the end of life. It’s about finding meaning in one’s life and how those findings are limited to yourself, yet must be respected by

others, regardless of deemed merit. Such is it that the father and son, at such profound odds with each other, can find each other before it’s too late. The case of murder, in terms of the plot’s vehicle, is perhaps a bit thin, as it is built upon apparent memory problems. Yet, I found myself, if not agreeing with the judge’s moral stance, at least respecting it by the conclusion. HOWE: I looked around the theatre and I think I was the youngest there, which is a shame as this is a marvellous movie. Perhaps because it doesn’t have the explosions, fighting
Simison to give reading
Former Vernon resident Greg Simison is returning to his old stomping grounds to read from his new book of poetry, Miscellaneous Wreckage, upstairs at the Bean Scene Coffee House Saturday. Born in Guildford, England in 1946, Simison came to Canada as a child. He is a playwright, a former newspaper columnist, and the author of three previous collections of poetry: Disturbances, The Possibilities of Chinese Trout, and What the Wound Remembers. After living in most Canadian provinces at one time or another, he currently calls Moose Jaw, Sask. home. “Writers in Vernon will remember some of the many readings Greg gave here when he lived in Vernon. They might also remember his crazy newspaper columns or his one-act play, Lumps, directed by Rod Neufeld. It is a thrill to have him back here. Don’t miss this reading,” said John Lent. Saturday’s reading starts at 2 p.m. and tickets are $10 in advance or at the door at the Bean Scene.

Running for Jesse and Kira This year, Vernon Christian School brings its annual run closer to home Morning Star Staff
Every year, elementary students at Vernon Christian School participate in the Terry Fox Run to support cancer research, raising as much as $7,000. This year, the school decided to do something a little different and support two VCS families with children who are currently undergoing treatment for cancer. Jesse Randelsome (St. Denis), a 2013 graduate, was diagnosed with cancer in Grade 10 and has been undergoing treatment ever since. His siblings still attend VCS and Jesse and his family are required to make many trips to Vancouver for treatment. From the school’s elementary campus, Grade 5 student Kira Alder was diagnosed with leukemia in June after an eight-year remission.
She has spent most of the summer undergoing treatment at B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. “We are being called as a community to organize this year’s run not for greater cancer research as in the past but for the two families right here at home,” said Steve Onsorge, elementary campus principal. “It is not unreasonable that each family’s additional expenses and loss of wages is substantial.” To help the families with expenses, VCS organized a run Oct. 3, with students, teachers and parents walking or running around the school’s lower field. “This year our hope was that all our students, parents and friends would rally around these families by supporting them in prayer, by supporting them financially, and by supporting them in action,” said Onsorge. Okanagan Landing Church is partnering with VCS to collect donations for the St. Denis family while Alexis Park Church will collect donations for the Alder family. Cheques should be made out to the respective church with the family name in the subject line. Unmarked cash donations, grocery gift cards and other items

Pumpkin picking is becoming a tradition for more and more families across the valley. This weekend, Davison Orchards is hosting its annual Family Pumpkin Festival, featuring entertainment, U-Pick Pumpkin Tours, and everything pumpkin to eat. “We have been hearing from our customers that they look forward to this event all year,” says Tamra Davison, marketing director at Davison Orchards. “The kids love the tractor ride, and a chance to choose their very own pumpkin, and the parents love the photo-ops and the educational aspect of seeing how pumpkins are grown.” Davison Orchards is pumpkin central with literally thousands of pumpkins in all shapes sizes and even a few different colours. The entertainment side of the event features young local talent from the 29th Street Music School who will be performing throughout the day. Local students who are known as the Mojom Circus

Pumpkins are more than just jack-o-lanterns Simone JenningS Special to The Morning Star
October is the month for pumpkins! Pumpkins grow well in our area, and are in abundance at this time of year. When most people think of pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns and pies are usually what come to mind but these nutritious, versatile and hardy gourds can be so much more. Did you know the world’s largest pumpkin weighed in at more than 1,600 pounds! Even more surprising is that in some communities people hollow out pumpkins, make them into boats and have annual pumpkin boat races. If you don’t believe me, look it up on the Internet! Like other types of squash, pumpkins are full of nutrients. Their
Ecclesiastes 12:5 (the Preacher: kohaleth, Solomon) “the almond tree shall blossom.” In the late spring the almond tree is white with blossom, a signal that summer is nigh; a fitting figure of the hoary, whiteheaded old man, whose life is almost over, and death at hand. “The grasshopper shall be a burden.” The grasshopper usually propels itself with great leaps, illustrative of the exuberance of youth, but when moving slowly it assumes a painful, dragging, crawling gait - characteristic of declining life.
deep orange coloured flesh is packed with beta-carotene. This is an antioxidant that helps prevent heart disease and cancer. Pumpkins are also a good source of vitamin C, potassium and fibre. Pumpkin pie is a popular treat but pumpkin can be used for so much more. Try it in cookies, pancakes, loaves, muffins, soups and more. When choosing a pumpkin for cooking, look for one that is
smaller and heavy for its size. When carving your Halloween jack-olantern be sure to save the seeds for roasting. Baked pumpkin seeds are a healthy snack and they are easy to make. Just rinse the pumpkin seeds to remove pulp then lay the seeds on a piece of paper towel to dry. Next, put the seeds in a bowl with a bit of vegetable oil and your favourite flavouring (Mrs. Dash, seasoning
salt or cinnamon and brown sugar. Finally, spread the seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350 F, stirring occasionally until light brown and crisp (about 15-25 minutes). Looking for a way to use up that left-
over pumpkin purée? Check out this tasty and healthy muffin recipe from Healthy Families BC: www.healthyfamiliesbc.ca/home/blog/ pumpkin-raisin-muffins-tracy-nash. Simone Jennings is a community nutritionist with Interior Health.

of the dash is the only carry-over part, which is still a soft touch material with French stitching. What has been added is faux suede on the doors with the ability to get two-tone seats in the Camry, also with faux suede, but the updated seats are only in the new XSE trim. The centre stack now has bigger buttons and rotary dials for ease of use, a welcome update for older buyers. To appeal to younger intenders, the Camry has the latest connectivity and on the top XLE models a wireless charging system in the centre cubby but the phone either needs a special sleeve or integrated wireless charging technology. Plus, there is a new screen between the speedo and tachometer for a quick reference of the radio, navigation or phone calls. These are all welcome updates but the major competitor for this car is the Honda Accord and the interior on that car is much more upscale and technologically advanced, with two screens
and a higher end feel. Drive Not just happy to make a more appealing looking car, the engineers also went about improving the ride, handling and noise inside the car. The track of the wheels has been widened and the lower end models also get wider wheels for improved feedback but the biggest change is to the steering feel. The Camry is equipped with electric power steering and these systems have been notorious for poor feedback to the driver. This new 2015 Camry is a big step foreword. Straight-line stability has been improved and the car, with a more rigid platform and slightly stiffer springs and shocks, is now sending good feedback to the driver. To highlight this, a stock off-the-showroom 2015 Camry, with regular tires was used at the Charlotte Motor Speedway for hot laps. With a pro NASCAR driver at the wheel, this new sedan easily navigated around the oval at speeds
over 200 km/h. No fuss, no problem. Not something anyone in a road-going Camry will experience but a good demonstration. Verdict What haven’t been updated are the engine and transmission choices. The same 178hp 2.5L 4-cylinder with a 6-speed automatic does duty along with an optional 3.5L V6 putting out 268hp. Yes, this is known equipment and these engines have a proven record but with Honda and others providing direct injection engines and new slick transmissions, it might be safe to go with “tried and true” but at some point these engines will require upgrades or replacements. As it stands, this is much more than a regular mid-cycle facelift. The 2015 Camry looks much better, drives with more confidence and has a pleasant interior. With the help of NASCAR, the Camry will remain a North American staple, this time with a lot more style. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Camry gains major update Charlotte, NC – The launch for the heavily updated Toyota Camry took place here in the heart of NASCAR country. Along the drive route, there were several NASCAR stops, one at the Hall of Fame, and another at Joe Gibbs Racing and a third at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. This was all to emphasize just how American the Camry has become. The chief engineer of the 2015 Camry is from Michigan, not Japan, as was the case with the rest of the crew that updated over 2,000 parts on this latest sedan. The car is Toyota’s cornerstone in the United States, thanks in part to the association the brand and the car has with the immensely popular NASCAR series and the long reputation it has for reliability and value. It is the most popular passenger car in North America and number one in the United States. However, that is not the case in Canada, where it lies third in the Toyota lineup behind the Corolla and RAV4. Looks When a car is typically refreshed, the designers add a new front bumper, grill, headlights and rear taillights and call it a day. Not the case here, the 2015 Toyota Camry has all-new sheet metal, providing a sleeker and more eye-catching design. The wheelbase remains the same length but the track, side-to-side has been widened for more stability. The overall length is only slightly longer, in the nose, to help achieve the more polished look. The interesting thing is this new more youthful design actually makes the car look smaller, mostly due to the less slab-sided look used in the previous car and the tightly wrapped lines and shapes. This is now a very nice looking car but from about 50 paces the new Camry looks very similar to the new Corolla, which was refreshed last year and is selling very well. There is a new trim level in the Camry lineup, the XSE, sportier looking trim that enabled Toyota to lower the price of the, still sporty, SE trim by $2,000 to $24,990. In addition the SE trim has been added to the Hybrid model, enabling buyers of that efficient car to also enjoy a more distinctive design. Inside Inside, the refresh focuses more on ease of use and refined materials. The top

New fuel consumption rating on route
Pic of the Week The Citroën C1 URBAN RIDE concept will never reach our shores even if it goes into production. But it’s always interesting to view European interpretations of city cars. The fold back top, which enables an almost convertible driving experience, is a throwback to the classic Citroen 2CVs from yesteryear. keith.morgan@ drivewaybc.ca
A new fuel consumption rating system kicks in for all 2015 model year new cars and light trucks. The government of Canada has finally approved the five-cycle test method, already used in the U.S. since 2008. In general, those predicted fuel consumption figures on the EnerGuide label (on every new vehicle) will increase somewhere in the 10 to 20 per cent range, compared to a similar, or even identical, 2014 model year vehicle. As before, vehicle manufacturers are required to submit fuel consumption data to the federal government based on controlled laboratory testing procedures. This is done in order to produce results that are consistent and repeatable and includes the use of standardized fuels, test cycles and calculations. The underlying objective is to give a Canadian consumer making a new vehicle purchase decision an accurate and reliable way to compare fuel consumption. The three additional test cycles, added to the old two-cycle testing method, include cold temperature operation, air conditioner usage, and driving at higher speeds with more rapid acceleration and braking. Cars, roads and motoring habits have changed over the years and the new five-cycle test was designed to better simulate modern driving. That said, and also as before, an owner’s actual on-road fuel consumption is still likely to be different, although closer to the new government test numbers. Real life fuel consumption not only varies depending on how and where you drive, it can also change with traffic, the weather, after dark and a bunch of other less obvious factors. If you want to check how your current vehicle would fare (and compare) in the five-cycle test, Natural Resources Canada (nrcan.gc.ca) has an online calculation tool that gives approximate fuel economy numbers for vehicles going all the way back to 1995. This is the web link: http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/fcr-rcf/public/index-e.cfm The more fuel a vehicle burns is directly related to the amount of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, it pumps out the tailpipe. So, not only does a more fuel efficient vehicle cost less to operate, it also has reduced environmental impact. Fuel economy now transcends the small car market and is an important concern for buyers in just about every vehicle market segment. It’s also why fuel economy has become increasingly important in the marketing of new vehicles, especially in the high-volume market segments. The car business is a highly competitive one and, as you might expect, auto makers try to build vehicles that do well, and get low numbers, in the government fuel economy test. A few have even overstepped the credibility line (by mistake, of course) and have agreed to compensate vehicle owners, most notably Hyundai and Kia a couple of years ago, Ford and Lincoln more recently. Major technological changes are also happening in the fuel economy race. Smaller and more efficient gasoline engines are available, hybrid vehicle sales are taking off, plug-in hybrid vehicles are becoming more common and the pure electric vehicle is a competitive production reality. So, even the term “fuel consumption” may become obsolete, sometime in the future. Right now, however, if you walk into a new car dealership showroom, you’ll probably find both 2014 and 2015 editions of the same model vehicle for sale, sideby-side. If you don’t notice the asterisked note under the EnerGuide fuel consumption figure on the 2015, it’s easy to assume that it’s a less fuel efficient vehicle and that’s almost certainly not correct. The 2015 EnerGuide fuel consumption figure is simply more realistic and closer to what you’re likely to experience during day-to-day driving in the real world. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Forgotten 1970s classics by Rob Sass
The often-maligned 1970s produced plenty of truly memorable cars, from the Pontiac Trans Am to the Porsche 911 Turbo. These aren’t those cars. These cars are the obscure and forgotten (but still oddly appealing) afterthoughts of the decade. Here are five worth remembering: 1. 1975-80 Chevrolet Monza – The Monza did a good job of hiding its Chevy Vega roots, although GM insiders still persist in calling it the “Italian Vega” because it cribbed so many styling cues from Ferrari. It was actually a very good-looking rear-wheel-drive sport coupe that was available with a variety of engines, including three V8s, a 262, 305 and 350. The latter two were only for California and high-altitude markets, but the 305 with 140hp was the one to have, with the other two engines making 110 and 120 hp. While more than 700,000 Monzas were built, very few seem to have survived. 2. Opel GT – The Opel GT sported mini C3 Corvette styling courtesy of Chevy stylist Clare MacKichan. Even the instrument panels look similar. Power came from Opel’s optional

Chevy Monza
1.9-liter “high-cam” four-cylinder engine, with the smaller 1.1-liter standard but rarely seen in the U.S. Performance with the 1.9-liter was quite decent, with the car solidly outperforming cars like the MGB GT and the carbureted BMW 2002. Buick dealers were happy to have the car in the U.S., as it gave them a sportier product with which to lure young buyers into the showroom. It was the Datsun 240Z, however, that spelled the end of the Opel GT; it simply couldn’t compete in price or performance. Few people today remember the curious little mini-Corvette. 3. 1970-78 Mazda RX-2 – The RX-2 was Mazda’s first attempt at selling a rotary powered car in large volumes. It was an attractive little thing that did without so many of the odd styling gimmicks employed by Japanese cars of the day. The Rotary was powerful and torquey and could surprise its share of V-8 powered Detroit iron at a stop light, but at the end of the day, the rotary was as thirsty as a Detroit V-8, negating any advantage there. Still, the RX-2 is technically interesting and rare today in a climate of growing collector interest in early Japanese cars. 4. 1973-75 Pontiac Grand Am Colonnade coupe – The first car to carry the Grand Am name (which was an amalgam of Grand Prix and Trans Am) was a big, thirsty, traditional American personal luxury car with a few Euro touches in the seating department and in the real wood interior accents. It also had a soft Enduro nose that gave it a unique and sporty look compared to its more traditional A-body cousins, the Buick Century and Olds Cutlass Supreme. The ’73 model was the swan song of real horsepower with 400 and 455 engines available that both made well over 200hp. There was even a rather unpopular manual transmission option. The Oil Crisis put sales into a tail spin, but the unique sight of a Grand Am today can give still another reason to miss Pontiac. 5. 1981-83 AMC Eagle SX/4 – The Eagle SX/4 was based on the AMC Spirit, which was essentially a masterfully restyled Gremlin. And while the Audi Quattro coupé generally gets all the credit for marrying all-wheel drive to a two-door car with sporting pretensions (the Jensen FF actually did it first in 1967), the little Eagle SX/4 appeared at right around the same time the Quattro was introduced in Europe. Interestingly, it was available with a five-speed manual transmission. Cynics might poke fun at the Eagle SX/4’s high ground clearance and dismiss it as a “Joe Dirt” Quattro, but the little Eagle was a particularly impressive car given the fact that AMC’s R&D budget was a fraction of what the Volkswagen/Audi group had to play with.

Pipelines are needed
am very perplexed at the pipeline phobia that has spread in our province. The pipeline to take oil from the oil sands to the port of Kitimat is one issue. Now, there is resistance to the proposal to increase the size of the pipeline from Edmonton to Vancouver by Kinder Morgan. The pipeline from Edmonton to Vancouver, built in 1957, runs through scenic Jasper National Park and down the Yellowhead to Kamloops and then on to Vancouver. So why is there resistance to upgrading this 57-year-old pipeline? There has never been a problem Colin Mayes with this pipeline. All the owner wants to do is increase the capacity of the pipeline which will be built in accordance with our new tougher regulations. In my view, the proposed Gateway Pipeline from Edmonton to Kitimat is a far better means to transport crude oil from the oil sands compared to the rail alternative. Any pipeline built in Canada today will need to conform to our government’s new environmental regulations — the most stringent in the world. Canada is a net exporter of natural gas and oil. It is good for the economy to develop new markets rather than rely on the sole market south of the border. Logic and historical facts tell me that pipelines are a safe and effective way to transport oil and gas, so why the phobia? Some opponents to the pipelines vision the risk of a spill.
MP rePort
With that logic, we would not use airplanes to travel. Yes, there is a risk to flying but technology has mitigated the risk and it is the safest way to travel. Could the underlying resistance be related to a back door approach in stopping the Alberta oil sands development? If this were the case, and the same people are also against the development of new mines, and the harvesting and management of our forest resource in B.C., please help me resolve the issue of how government is going to pay for all of their demands for government services without any tax revenue? In your government’s Jobs and Growth Budget 2012-2013, our government streamlined the environmental review process for various natural resource developments. We did not compromise the regulations, but simply made the process timely. Five, six or seven years of process to hear a yes or no decision is not acceptable. Our actions will not make the process less stringent, or environmentally irresponsible, but to simply cut duplication and minimize the obstruction tactics used by some to compromise the applicant’s right to due timely process. My comment is not meant to endorse any application but to assure my constituents that any decision is based on a scientific analysis not a demonstrator’s phobia for pipelines. The decision is also determined by the net economic value to the region and Canadians. The new regulations and environmental protection initiatives that our government has just recently announced, can be found at: http:// actionplan.gc.ca/en/content/r2d-dr2.
