Politicians appeal arena ruling RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Officials will attempt to stickhandle the arena issue around provincial opposition. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee voted Thursday to challenge a provincial government ruling not to allow it to borrow money to expand Kal Tire Place because the facility is owned by the City of Vernon. “We believe we have grounds for an appeal” said chairperson Juliette Bob Fleming Cunningham, who would not elaborate on GVAC’s legal strategy. The government’s actions forced GVAC to back off a borrowing referendum with the Nov.

15 civic election. If the appeal is shot down, a backup plan has been developed. The next step would be to hold a borrowing referendum for an expansion of Kal Tire Place. RDNO would own the facility and be responsible for debt servicing, and then lease it long-term to the city, which would take over maintenance and control. This plan fits in with the new recreation model, which sees the city owning facilities within its boundary and the other jurisdictions paying for access. “We’re just preparing for the next step,” said Cunningham if the appeal is blocked. The goal is to hold a referendum in spring 2015 to replace the aging ice sheet at Civic Arena. “Residents from the entire area will get a say at one time,” said director Jim Garlick.

HUGE S SAVING

However, Regional District of North Okanagan staff caution a spring vote may not be possible. “We want to move this as expeditiously as possible but the province has a key role in setting the date because it will be reviewing its decision,” said David Sewell, chief administrative officer. A delayed referendum could mean that the scope of a new ice sheet and the original $13 million price tag could be considered further. “A review of what goes to referendum will certainly be necessary,” said director Bob Fleming. Director Mike Macnabb says a further study of an ice sheet would follow a process similar to that for the sports complex under construction at Okanagan College. “We had to cut millions of dollars off of it and I hope we would do that here,” he said.

Two alert Middleton Mountain employees may have put an end to an alleged theft from vehicles spree. Vernon RCMP were called just before 8 a.m. Wednesday to a report that two employees had caught a man in a staff vehicle in the 900 block of Waddington Drive. “Our officers responded to that location, and spoke to a witness that stated he saw a man in the vehicle rummaging through papers and personal contents of the vehicle,” said Gord Molendyk, spokesperson for the Vernon RCMP. The employees brought the man out of the vehicle and escorted him inside the office to wait for police. “One of our officers went to the office where he located the suspect,” said Molendyk. “He was arrested and returned to the police office.” The suspect had several pairs of sunglasses, an iPod, other assorted items and a flashlight. “Our officer transported the 30-year-old suspect to the Vernon RCMP cells where he was lodged pending investigation of the items in his possession,” said Molendyk. Within a very short time period the police were called to another report of a theft from a vehicle in the 1800 block of Kosmina Drive which is a block away from where the suspect was arrested. “Our officers feel this suspect may have rummaged through more vehicles in this area between midnight and 7 a.m. today (Wednesday), and owners may not have reported the thefts yet,” said Molendyk. Anyone who may have lost items like these is asked to contact Const. MacQueen at the Vernon RCMP detachment at 250-545-7171.

Economy dominates Vernon forum JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

With more and more young families forced to move or work elsewhere, the economy was front and centre for Vernon’s mayoralty candidates Tuesday. More than 500 people came out to questions the five candidates, along with 13 of the 14 candidates for council, at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre forum. “We have to be open for business and the perception is Vernon is hard to deal with and we need to change that,” said Akbal Mund. “A lot of them have shut up shop because they can’t afford the extra costs here,” said the former franchise owner, using the high water costs charged to golf courses as one example. Victor Cumming says opening the doors to new businesses is one of two things the city needs to be doing. The first is: “Work with existing enterprises we do have.” Cumming, an economist, says private/ public and not for profit are all critical areas to support in Vernon’s economy going forward. When it comes to growth, particularly downtown, Jamie Morrow says the sky is the limit. “We need to go up, we need to go vertical,” said the recruiter for Okanagan College’s School of Business, who is all for mixed-use development. Morrow would also like to look at improving transportation around town. “I don’t know why we can’t have smaller buses. “If we want to be greener and healthier then we have to do it.” Creating work will be a challenge over the next four years, said Klaus Tribes, but he says it is Vernon’s job to address it. “It starts at city hall, it starts with, ‘we are open for business,’” said the former councillor and downtown business owner. “We will bend over backwards to give these guys a hand to relocate here.” Creating an industrial land base is also key to the overall region’s economic growth, said Mary-Jo O’Keefe, an incumbent councillor who owns MJO Tours. “In my time on council we’ve lost a lot of business coming to town because we didn’t have an industrial land base.” But when it comes to business, Cumming says Vernon has in fact grown leaps and bounds. He recalls serving on a committee in 1977

JENNIFER SMITH/MORNING STAR

A capacity crowd mingles with the Vernon mayoralty candidates in the lobby of the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Tuesday evening. when the city never imagined it would need a bypass. “Penticton said yes to a bypass, Kelowna and Vernon said it would never be needed,” said Cumming, who supports the idea. Tribes agrees. “There’s a lot of business downtown,” said Tribes. “When I hear people say: ‘I couldn’t find a spot to park, they were all full.’ I say: ‘What’s the problem?’” Still, improvements could be made and Mund suggests that instead of providing free parking on Sundays, when the majority of businesses are closed, make Saturdays free. “It will bring families downtown,” said Mund, suggesting making some of the parking lots downtown free. O’Keefe agrees that attention to downtown is key. “City cores across Canada, they’re almost the windows to a community,” said O’Keefe.

Another development suggestion is waterfront, which some residents are questioning why Vernon isn’t capitalizing on considering its proximity to not one, not two, but three lakes. “We started purchasing property on Okanagan Lake whenever it became available,” recalled Tribes. O’Keefe says that policy was ignored this year as properties came up, due to the structure changes in parks and recreation. But that doesn’t mean plans aren’t in place. “We have actually developed a really good waterfront plan,” said O’Keefe, adding that the city needs to work with the Okanagan Indian Band to further develop plans. In the meantime, properties can’t be stringed together until gaps are filled, said Tribes, adding that some properties are already owned by the city and rented out “Unfortunately it doesn’t happen overnight,” said Tribes.

The issue of referendums was also brought up, which Morrow agrees with when it comes to important facilities and upgrades. “We’re here for you, we’re not here for us.” For councillor candidate responses see the article and photos on pages A12 and A13.

Debate over fire bill heats up richard rolke Morning Star Staff

An unpaid bill is fanning the flames between two North Okanagan jurisdictions. The City of Vernon submitted an invoice to the Regional District of North Okanagan for fighting an Aug. 19, 2013 fire at the Greater Vernon landfill, but payment David Sewell still has not been received. “I don’t know how we can be owed

almost $80,000,” said Coun. Brian Quiring during a council discussion of the matter. Monday City staff have stated they are waiting to receive RDNO’s rationale for not making the payment and that information will then come back to council for consideration. RDNO officials are defending their actions. “Our understanding that fire protection is typically paid through taxation, not user fees,” said David Sewell, RDNO’s chief administrative officer. “As the property is within the fire protection boundaries of the City of Vernon and we have never had a bill for any

previous services, we were surprised to receive a bill a number of months after the incident. We have requested information regarding the policy and legal basis for the bill and have not received a response.” In other matters, Vernon council has authorized spending up to $222,083 for a new water tender truck at the Okanagan Landing fire hall. The move comes outside of the regular budget cycle. “There is an urgency with station three (Predator Ridge) opening and the time lag to get a new vehicle,” said fire chief Keith Green. “We want to get the order in as soon as possible.”

the homelessness partnering strategy. Despite false claims that funding has been cut, we’ve renewed funding under this program for the next five years,” said Bergen in a statement. “Communities will continue to receive the same amount of funding for programs to prevent and reduce homelessness as they did previously.” Bergen says that the focus is shifting so once stable housing is found, addiction and mental health will be addressed. Mayes says he will continue to represent constituents. “Anyone who says I don’t have compassion towards the homeless or the issues related to homelessness, that is hurtful,” he said.

Get out and vote

alking into a polling booth for the first time is an event not to be taken lightly. I remember my first time and was thrilled and a little overwhelmed. At just 18 years old, I was being tasked with the responsibility of deciding who was going to run the country for the next four years. I couldn’t legally drink and had only been behind the wheel for two years, but voting? Absolutely! It was the year Joe Clark and his Progressive Conservative government defeated Pierre Elliot Trudeau and the Liberals, though Clark’s win was as a minority government and he lasted just nine Katherine Mortimer months in office before the non-confidence vote in the House of Commons turfed him out of office. Yes, this was many years before Clark was viewed as an elder statesmen of Canadian politics. As a daughter of longtime Liberals who had also had a longtime crush on Trudeau, it wasn’t difficult to make my vote, rather uninformed though it was. Also on the ballot that year was Canada’s infamous Rhinoceros Party, led by Cornelius the First, a black rhinoceros at the Granby Zoo in Quebec. The party’s many platforms over the years included such gems as repealing the law of gravity and providing higher education by building taller schools. Without a doubt, it was an interesting time to be a first-time voter. Yes, it was only one vote. But we live in a democracy, where it is not only a great privilege to vote, it is our right. We are blessed to live in a part of the world where we are allowed to exercise that right. There are plenty of nations around the world where its citizens are not given that right. Alternatively, there are a number of countries where voting is compulsory, and fines

At RAndoM

levied for non-voting, such as Australia, where voting has been mandatory since 1924. Voter turnout remains low, particularly in B.C. In the last provincial election, voter turnout was 58 per cent of eligible voters. Voter turnout at civic elections is even more dismal. According to figures from CivicInfo BC, the province-wide turnout in the 2011 election was 29.55 per cent. I hear too many people admit that they don’t vote and frankly it enrages me. There are lots of reasons: don’t want to stand in line at the polls, don’t have time, one vote doesn’t make a difference. The list is endless, although I suppose voter apathy is one of the main reasons. Now the civic election may not feel laden with as much gravitas as a federal or provincial election, but in so many ways it is even more crucial. The mayor and council, regional directors and school trustees live in our community. These are the people whom we see at the grocery store, the performing arts centre, the pews at church, the farmers’ market. In many cases, we are on a first-name basis with them. These are the people whose decisions really do have an impact on our every-day life, from an increase in our property taxes to getting the ball rolling on a new hockey arena, from getting our roads upgraded and making sure the streets are free of snow and safe for driving in the winter, to giving parents a voice for their children’s education. Yet the numbers tell us that only a small percentage of Canadians actually turn up at the polls. This year’s election is Nov. 15, just a few days after Remembrance Day. If we are honouring the people who gave their lives so we can enjoy the freedoms we know and cherish, then why not honour them by also going to the polls, marking your ballot and having a voice. Let’s not take those freedoms we love for granted. The polls are open all day Nov. 15, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. — get out and vote.

Dreaming of a day where you can vote from the comfort of your own home? Don’t expect it to arrive any time soon. Inclusive is the key word for any vote, whether it be a referendum, municipal election or all the way up to a federal election. Inclusive means that everyone has to have an equal opportunity to vote. While electronic voting machines, or vote counting machines like those used in Penticton accomplish that goal, a move to online voting, while practical and straightforward for many, would disenfranchise those that may not be comfortable or dexterous with modern technologies. Still, the possibility is being looked into by the province, which has organized a task force for the 2018 election. “There have been lots of tests in different jurisdictions around Canada doing electronic voting,” said Karen Needham, from the City of Kelowna. “The City of Edmonton did an extensive trial, and at the end of the day they decided not to do it.” There were several reasons for the decision, not the least of which being cost. For Penticton, there would be almost 33,000 people to access, and the cost to allow for an electronic vote is somewhere in the area of $3 apiece. “So, it’s lots of money,” she said. “And then there are the issues of the integrity of the vote and privacy.” For instance, it would be hard to tell if one person in a home was forcing others to vote as told, or even casting their votes for them. No doubt, voting at home will eventually arrive, but it will need to wait for the day when technology is really as accessible and universal as we all think it is right now. Until that day comes, we need to keep the voting process open, transparent and accessible for all. Black Press

I

VERNON ELECTION On Nov. 15, we will be making some decisions that we will have to live with for the next four years. The most important will be who we elect as mayor of Vernon. I don't believe we need expensive pie-inthe-sky projects, but there are many issues that need addressing. Engineers have declared the old Civic Arena to be structurally sound for many more decades. Take out some seats, put in an NHL-size rink, replace the ice plant and save $10 million. Settle the litigation wit the horse racing society over Kin Race Track by giving them land at O'Keefe Ranch that was proposed for an RV park (the ALC turned it down). I'll bet the ALC would support a horse race track. We don't need to pay bylaw officers $50,000 a year, plus benefits, to issue parking tickets but we do need them to enforce our bylaws. They could take the place of $100,000 a year RCMP members enforcing speed limits, texting while driving infractions and so on, leaving the RCMP to deal with actual criminals. Bring back photo radar under the bylaw operation. It's cheap and it works. Noisy vehicles and noisy house parties could all be handled by bylaw officers. We don't need to borrow $70 million to upgrade our water system. We spent $30 million on Duteau Creek and it was money well spent. The Interior Health Authority is so paranoid, it closed down the drinking fountains in Kal Park. Our water is safe. We

would ask the candidates that have held office before, what did you do to make Vernon a better place? What should you have done? Why did you let the logic and common sense disappear? The staff that held a workshop for walking trails and bike paths watched people dance at the Schubert Centre instead of discussing the issues with the four or five people that attended. It's the same department that told us we ran out of money on 20th Street, sorry about that. On Allenby Way, a main road connecting Bella Vista Road and 25th Avenue, service vehicles, moving vans and even city trucks all park on the sidewalk. How many years have been wasted on Civic Arena? Every department has a different opinion and dollar amounts that vary. Now you will spend $75,000, which

will keep it going to 2017. At day's end, what do we have, nothing. How many consulting firms have been hired and nothing happens? Public input meetings are held with the decision already made, i.e. the tourist have a Chevrolet system, we don't need a Cadillac. Keep our city clean, free of junky yards and derelict vehicles. Paint our street lines with expensive reflective paint so our seniors can navigate at night. So you may ask who's going to lead the way on all of these issues? I'm backing Klaus Tribes and I hope you will too. Will Rogers MAYORALTY RACE Once again, the time has come to decide who to place our trust in to govern the City of Vernon for the ensuing four years. I would urge everyone to very carefully consider your choice for mayor. The mayor is the team leader and the person responsible to oversee all aspects of services to Vernon taxpayers. For years, we have been told that we need to pay above-average salaries and benefits to management personnel to attract the best and the brightest. While I have never wholeheartedly believed in this cliché I do think the mayor’s job in Vernon is grossly underpaid for the responsibilities and demands required in the performance of the city’s top office. Accordingly, voters must take time to choose the best person for the job. It is very demanding, and requires evenings and weekends which is time away from family and any other duties. You must review the past performance of incumbents on decisions, their willingness to listen to a delegation (i.e. Okanagan Landing fire hall

booth.. Increased parking fees and then you wonder why revenue is down. Who dropped the ball in not buying the property next to the race track? Maybe we have too many departments. There is excess baggage in city staff, all debacle), and forget about promises made in the heat of an election. Douglas MacAulay CAMPAIGN SIGNS I was somewhat surprised that in the midst of city elections, that a decision was made by Vernon council to ignore an existing bylaw prohibiting election signs on public rights-of-way. The reasons reportedly were that it was "like Christmas for bylaws (Quiring)," and "extra money for policing the bylaw (Lord)." Other reasons apparently included that it had never been enforced before. A good question but why was this not addressed by either councillor over the last three years? With my, albeit limited knowledge respecting signs on highways, I do understand that the limitation on the proliferation of highway and roadway signs is based on safety, not aesthetics, and that unnecessary signing is an added driver distraction and consequently, the potential cause of an accident. Signs or notice boards are by their very nature intended to be noticed, ie. attract the attention of people and consequently distracting drivers from their attention to driving. Distracted driving nowadays attracts hefty fines because it causes accidents. Any signing that contributes to distracted driving must surely be discouraged. I'm sure that is part of the need for a bylaw restricting not only election signs but all signs. Safety must be paramount and

trying to keep their jobs. I wouldn't mind the money these people make if I could get some value that really counted. To the new candidates, what will you do? It was J.F.K. that said, "It's not what my country can do for me, but what I can do for my country." In our Vernon case, council debate erupts over election signs. It's OK to break the law for the candidates but not for us. That would be classed as a me thing, not a good start. To the voters, get involved, ask questions and make the city accountable. Voice your opinion. Think about where Vernon is headed. Above all, vote and with any luck, logic and common sense will return. The Regional District of North Okanagan could also use some common sense and logic. Rose Pollock override the needs of mayoralty and councillor candidates to publicize their election ambitions. If it is necessary that a formal complaint be received prior to bylaws doing their duty, please consider this a formal complaint with respect to safety and that bylaw staff immediately proceed with the enforcement of the existing bylaw and removal of all nonconforming signs.

oral and councillors forum Wednesday at Centennial Hall, when asked about her vision for the township, bigger isn’t always better. “We have great roads, we’re in the process of working on a plan with Armstrong to provide safe drinking water, and we’re talking with Vernon about hooking up to their water for the southeast sector,” said Brown, who is facing a challenge Nov. 15 from former mayor Will Hansma. “I foresee the southeast sector getting affected, hopefully there will be more commercial businesses at the bottom and, for the long-term, I hope there is more business along the highway where we have infrastructure, where we have water.” Hansma, a five-term mayor who didn’t run in 2011, loves what Spallumcheen has become and where the township is headed. “I envision continued support for some development in the southeast sector because it’s important,” said Hansma. “We need to enhance the revenue currently coming into the township, otherwise the impacts on the depleted infrastructure will cost the current residents more money. “We do have to fix things and there are issues around water systems, but let’s make one thing clear. The water the township adminis-

ters is not having problems. There are a number of water districts which are a level of government unto themselves which are having problems, and we need to somehow work with those water districts as a local government to enhance the ability to provide healthy water.” There have been allegations from residents that farming practices have affected water districts. Both candidates were asked how they would look at such practices.

“A lot of that is done at the provincial level,” said Hansma. “We tried a number of years ago to put a zone in place to restrict farming practices to a certain level on an open aquifer, but that was turned down by residents and the province. “I’m committed to working to come up with solutions that would not threaten our aquifers in the township, and provide good drinking water to the residents.” Brown said council

is considering bylaws to regulate farm practices including how far away they are from aquifers, though such a bylaw would need Victoria’s approval. “We need to enforce bylaws for new farms coming into our community and protect our water sources,” said Brown. “The water is a lot more important and more people now are aware of the quality of water. “Farming practices need to change. With climate change and with environmental practices, we need to find a way to get rid of things that are affecting our environment.” The two mayoral candidates took part in a two-and-a-half hour forum, along with the seven council candidates, in front of 100 people at Armstrong’s Centennial Hall.

Candidates square off JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

The economy was a hot topic at what was perhaps the best-attended forum in Vernon’s history. The Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre forum drew more than 500 people Tuesday to hear from the five mayoralty and 14 council candidates. Aside from Colt Wilson, who failed to show up to his second forum, each of the councillor candidates had a chance to share their views on subjects ranging from referendums and amalgamation to the health of downtown Vernon and the overall economic situation. “I’ve seen this city grow and prosper,” said incumbent Brian Quiring, an architect who was involved in bring Wal-Mart to Vernon. “But have also unfortunately seen the opposite in the past few years.” A ski hill, lakes and abundant beauty and amenities are a natural attraction, but Mark Olsen cautions who the city attracts. “We have to sell ourselves to the right people,” said Olsen, a bus driver and CUPE president, suggesting industries such as technology, eco-tourism and valueadded wood products. Painter Art Gourley, who says Vernon has a bad reputation for its strict downtown bylaw enforcement, suggests not only easing up on residents and visitors to the area, but also making changes along 30th Avenue including free handicapped parking. “Owners of the buildings could lower the rents a little bit...lower the taxes a little bit and look at the meters.” A nurse in the audience questioned why bylaw officers make more than she does. Improvements in the downtown area were also suggested in the form of policing, by former officer James Todd, who is now an artist and author. A substation in Polson Park and cameras downtown were among his suggestions. “If I’m not doing anything wrong, I don’t care if I’m on camera.” Governance could also improve the economic condition, suggested dentist Shawn Lee. “The way we’re governed is impeding our economic growth,” said Lee, a former Vernon councillor, who supports looking into amalgamation. That was also a topic supported by spending watchdog Bob Spiers. “It’s a study that should be done.” Another way to drive more traffic into the area, without the congestion that currently plagues main thoroughfares, is a bypass says Scott Anderson. “We have to at least start to look at a bypass for Vernon,” said Anderson, who is in corporate communications and operates a recycling business. One other “minefield,” topic, according to Jack

Gilroy, was taxes. “There will always be a small increase in taxes and I will work to keep it small,” said Gilroy, a former Vernon councillor and firefighter. Former Lumby councillor and healthcare worker Janet Green has a different view on the subject of taxes. “I’m sort of a tax police person myself. I think we need to drill down to a zero base budget.” Kari Gares was questioned about improvements to Kin Race Track, which she says has been stuck in a legal battle, for far too long. “It’s evident that they have three races a year if that,” said the Vernon mortgage broker who lives in Coldstream and would like to see the track developed into a youth recreational facility. “It needs to be dealt with and it needs to be dealt with now.”

Range of topics debated Continued from A13 Referendums were also discussed at large, and clarified. “Any project for which you have to borrow for more than five years has to go to the public,” said incumbent Catherine Lord, former manager at O’Keefe Ranch. “Most things do go to you but you don’t want everything to go to you.” Incumbent Juliette Cunningham added: “When we’re looking at big capital projects we go to the public.” In terms of the upcoming water referendum, which every candidate has stated they will not support, it offers a chance for the public to send a message to Victoria. “This gives you an opportunity to tell the province

that this is not acceptable,” said downtown business owner Cunningham, of standards being forced on the region without any support. Regardless of the topics during this election or for the next four-year term, candidate Dalvir Nahal says there needs to be more attention paid to ensuring youth aren’t disconnected. Part of that is getting youth involved, which the 38-year-old provincial customer service representative is doing by running. “I’ve had so many people come up to me and say, ‘I’ve never even voted but this year, I’m going to vote.’” The next Vernon forum takes place Tuesday, Nov. 4 at Predator Ridge (pre-registration required through the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce). Then the Vernon Public Art Gallery hosts the candidates Thursday, Nov. 6.

Police seeking witnesses Morning Star Staff

Vernon RCMP members are continuing their investigation into the fatal motor vehicle crash that occurred just after 1 a.m. on Oct. 23rd on 32nd Street in Vernon. As part of their investigation into this crash, officers have learned that two men stopped to assist the victims of this crash. “They helped out for a few minutes then left the crash scene, walking down the street before our officers could speak to them,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. Investigators are asking the two men to please call the Vernon RCMP office at 250-545-7171 so they can speak to them about their involvement with the crash victims that morning. One woman was killed while the passenger of the car who was injured has since been transferred back to Vernon Jubilee Hospital to continue her recovery.

spoken advocates for our students, our schools, and the community,” said Lisa LaBoucane, VTA first vice-president. The forum will provide the opportunity for the candidates to share their priorities and positions on issues facing Vernon and Coldstream schools. It will also give the public the chance to ask questions of the candidates through a moderator. “Change starts at the ballot box,” said LaBoucane. “If parents, teachers, and

informed citizens and their families vote, we can have a significant impact on our schools and our community.” Seeking a seat as Vernon/ BX trustee are incumbents John Armstrong, Mollie Bono and Kelly Smith, former trustees Steve Connor and Perry Wainwright and newcomers Lisa de Boer and Brenda Giffin. Coldstream incumbent trustee Bill Turanski is going up against Robert Lee Nov. 15.

When we talk fuel economy it’s the little things that add up. I’ve been in this car game a long time now. I didn’t start with cars right off the bat, it actually started with car parts. I was 14 years old and looking for a summer job when my uncle, let’s call him Gordon. Why would I call him Gordon you ask? Well that’s his name, like seriously, what do you call people by. Anyway, I’m 14 years old and have a chance to make some real money. Gordon says I can work in his gasket company making 4 bucks an hour. I instantly start doing the math in my head - 9 hours a day at $4 an hour for 21 days that month, hotdog I’m rich! What am I going to do with $756 a month, and yes I was 14 and hadn’t heard about taxes yet, but that’s a whole other story. So it’s my first day and I’m pumped, like crazy pumped, to be a working man. My first job comes down the pipe. “Chris you need to make 100,000 two inch round gaskets”. Wow, that’s a big number to a kid with only 13 channels on his TV and one of those is in French. Well, ok, it can’t be too hard, people do this work stuff every day. “So chief how do I do it?” I say with an eager grin. “Well Chris, you take a sheet of 3200 (yes I still remember what the materials are called, creepy I know) and you put it on the table and then take this bladed die, put it face down, then using the big power press, push it down and cut the gasket out, then stack them on the other table.” “Well that’s not too hard” I say. “Wait, I have to make 100,000 of these and it’s one at a time?” Again, the math goes off in my head. I figured I would make 4 a minute, 9 hours a shift, so that’s only 2,160 per day. To fill the order, it will take me into retirement! The manager could see my face drop with the impending boredom of the next two months. She said to make a game out of it. Take each 4x8 sheet and see how many gaskets I could get and try different patterns to get the most possible, then try and beat my score. That took the 100,000 out of the picture and made the 300 or so I could get out of a sheet a much more manageable number. I’m not going to lie, it still sucked. It did give me a useful tool I’ve used many times since making the big jobs more manageable. So now back to fuel economy. I am a pretty lucky guy when it comes to cars. Working with Vernon Dodge, Vernon Kia, and Kamloops Dodge gives me a chance to drive almost everything under the sun. I love cars, the thing I love most is the technology that’s in them now. One of the coolest little things people hardly give any attention to is the fuel mileage indicator. It really can save you money when you turn it into a game. I drive a lot. Living in Lumby and working at the three dealerships puts the fuel bill front and center for me. So I turn each trip into a game of using less and less fuel. I press the full mileage reset before very trip and see if I can beat my last score, going lower and lower. I use the old simple rules of driving we all know and seldom do. Not accelerating hard, coasting before I brake and taking it easy in the turns. It gives you the best way to drive your car in the real world and keeps those extra dollars in your pocket, rather than dollars gone with the wind. It also lets you know when something isn’t quite right and it’s time to come in for service. If you see the number on the rise it may be time for some car love from my guys in the shop. We can get you back in the game. PS: The manager at the gasket company did eventually bring me the die that cut 10 at a time and showed me how to stack sheets to cut 30 at once. Good thing or I’d still be there. Chris Taylor Fixed Operation Manager Thank you for your trust in us.

Asked by an audience member how she thinks she’ll see the City of Armstrong and Township of Spallumcheen 20 years down the road, incumbent councillor Shirley Fowler took the microphone and answered honestly. “I’ll be 83 in 20 years. How will I see things? Probably dimly,” grinned Fowler and, with that, garnered the loudest laughs and applause from

www.tireland.ca

“...There isn’t a lot of affordable housing.” — Steven Drapala

close to 80 people in Armstrong’s Centennial Hall Tuesday at the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce’s all-candidates forum. The question was one of 11 posed to 10 of 11 council hopefuls in a nearly two-hour forum (Robert Thibeau did not take part due to illness). Fowler said she sees the city rising in density and the township still lush with farmland, though heavy with building in the southeast sector in 20 years. But she also sees the continuation of what has been an improved working relationship between the two com-

munities. “The last term has been one of the most engaging three years between Armstrong and Spallumcheen,” she said. “The staff at Spall and staff at the city have made great strides in bringing together issues that were at a deadlock for awhile. There has been engagement on both sides.” Fellow incumbents Paul Britton and Ron (Sully) O’Sullivan have been through the forums and campaigns before, but even they can get taken aback by a question from the floor. One woman asked about improving access for people with disabil-

ities, after explaining how her mother-in-law had wheelchair access issues. “I really didn’t know there was that lack of access,” said Britton. “We better do something because, right now, our population is 19 per cent seniors, and in 2030 we’re going to be 30 per cent over 65 years old. We better make it accessible throughout town for our seniors to get around. It’s definitely an issue.” Added O’Sullivan, council’s representative on Armstrong’s age-friendly committee: “We’ve been going around town and looking at access issues. We’re working on trying to establish which places are not accessible and which ones are. It’s a work in progress, and we’ll make sure we’re doing it right.”

Dirk Pitt returns, in the thrilling new novel from the grand master of adventure and #1 New York Times – bestselling author. While investigating a toxic outbreak in the Caribbean Sea that may ultimately threaten the United States, Pitt unwittingly becomes involved in something even more dangerous — a postCastro power struggle for the control of Cuba. Meanwhile, Pitt’s children, marine engineer Dirk and oceanographer Summer, are on an investigation of their own, chasing an Aztec stone that may reveal the whereabouts of a vast historical Aztec treasure. The problem is, that stone was believed to have been destroyed on the battleship Maine in Havana Harbor in 1898, which brings them both to Cuba as well — and squarely into harm’s way. The three of them have been in desperate situations before … but perhaps never quite as dire as the one facing them now.

Taxes take over discussion Continued from A14 To a person, the seven hopefuls in attendance looking to join council praised the work of the current administration on a number of factors, including keeping taxes low. “It’s extremely important to have financial strategies in place to ensure a balance and a firstline business and economic development plan, something that is realistic, achievable and that makes sense for Armstrong,” said candidate Kerry Bennington. “If we hold taxes to zero percentage and still maintain and meet objectives we have, that would be the best alternative.” Said retired city worker Lance McGregor: “Having worked on the other side of the tracks, I can tell you, you can’t keep taxes at zero because the stuff in the ground gets old and wears out. If you want less services, you can have less taxes. If you want services, you need to have taxes. It’s a common thing. It’s not going to get any better but it’s not going to get any worse.” One of the first questions asked of all candidates was if there was one thing that could be undone over the past three years, what would it be. All candidates said “not a thing.” “I read an article that said Armstrong was the No. 2 city in B.C. for good operations management in keeping taxes in line,” said Gil Melin. “I think we want to keep going the same way we’re going.” A member of the city’s heritage committee asked the newcomers if they were interested in preserving the city’s history. “I think strongly that it’s fairly important to remember your past and to look after your past,” said Linda Werner. “I love the museum, I love what goes on there, and I’d be in favour of seeing it continue.” Added Dave McKechnie: “I do believe that we can make an effort to keep the heritage we can preserve that doesn’t stand in the way of progress.” A question was asked about improving tourism. Helen Jackson said tourism is a huge moneymaker for any community. “It’s really about economic development,” said

250-938-0490 4408 - 28th Street, Vernon inconveniently located behind Sundial Lighting Dealer #40105

Jackson. “The more tourists we get to town, the more money we spend. They’re in our businesses, our restaurants, our campgrounds. We already have a lot of community activities go on and we should continue to support those, and do everything and anything to get the tourists here.” Steven Drapala, father of three, is the youngest of the candidates, and the question was asked directly to him on what he would do to improve life for young families in Armstrong. “Affordablility is a big deal, especially with working families, and housing is at a point where there isn’t a lot of affordable housing for those starting out or coming into Armstrong,” said Drapala. “I’d find a way to keep housing prices down, that would be a great start, and maintaining our great parks and recreation programs.”

Giffin is the owner of Instant Replay Sports in Vernon and the mother of two children who are recent graduates of W.L. Seaton secondary school. She sees the current education model as outdated and one that no longer meets the needs of students or society today. “If the purpose of

all children do not learn the same way,” she said. “Essentially, I feel there is a natural synergy between who I am as a person, the skills I have developed in business and the role of a school trustee, it just made sense for me to run for the position. “I am also at the phase in my life where I feel I can authentically commit the time, effort and energy required to be a top quality representative in SD 22.” If elected, de Boer would continue to foster and develop quality relationships with all stakeholders within the district: students, parents, teachers, administrators, support and district staff as well as the community at large. “In order to ensure the long-term success of our district, these relationships must be strong and viable and we must all feel like we are all an essential part of the SD22 team,” she said. “Our partnership with teachers has been tested this year, how we respond to this test is critical to our overall success today and moving forward.” With costs on the rise, and funding down, de Boer said the district is being asked to do more with less, and developing creative solutions to meet and exceed educational goals is critical. “We also need to continue to lobby government to provide more funding to support our educational system,” she said. “I hope to play an integral role as a trustee to enrich our children’s experience of learning and meet our students’ learning needs with a 21st century approach.” Also seeking a seat as Vernon/BX trustee are incumbents John Armstrong, Mollie Bono and Kelly Smith, former trustees Steve Connor and Perry Wainwright. Coldstream incumbent trustee Bill Turanski is going up against Robert Lee Nov. 15.

Oktoberfest helps Habitat Morning Star Staff

Efforts to expand affordable housing have received a major boost in Vernon. Oktoberfest at Predator Ridge Resort raised $52,000 for the local Habitat for Humanity. “One hundred percent of the money raised will go towards Habitat for Humanity’s next build,” said Glory Westwell, chapter chairperson. “As a matter of fact, right after the successful event, the committee put in an offer to purchase a piece of property in Vernon and the offer has been accepted.” As soon as the weather permits in the spring, the chapter will demolish the existing building on the land and build a duplex. The inaugural Oktoberfest attracted 103 people. Although Predator Ridge homeowners have been raising funds monthly for the campaign, this was the first dinner event. “The excitement for the event grew and more and more people wanted to be a part of it,” said Westwell. “We had local merchants donating product for the dinner and the Predator Ridge staff got involved with more generous support. I could go on and on about how wonderful and supportive everyone at Predator Ridge has been, but the focus is really on the generous support of our community raising $52,000.” Over the winter, Habitat for Humanity will look for volunteers to assist with the housing project. If you are interested, e-mail volunteer@vernonhabitat.com. For more information on Habitat for Humanity’s Vernon chapter or to donate, visit www.vernonhabitat.com.

Bears outclass improving Maroons VSS back on home field Morning Star Staff

The Fulton Maroons have improved since they last faced the Mount Boucherie Bears, but not enough to earn a different result Wednesday afternoon at Grahame Park. The Bears of West Kelowna bounced the Maroons 50-12, and continue to be the team to beat in the Okanagan Junior Varsity Football Conference. “MBSS is an excellent football team,” said Fulton head coach Mike Scheller. “They are well coached, physical and have some talented athletes. They are head and shoulders above everyone in our conference. “We stepped up and played tougher, and we had some success on offence. We moved the ball against them, and we are the only team to score on them this league season. Those are accomplishments our kids can be happy with.” Supplying touchdowns for Fulton were Caden Doyle, on a 73-yard run, and Andrew Goldenthal, on a sevenyard interception return. Boucherie led 30-6 at the half. Doyle finished with 91 rushing and 34 receiving yards, and added five tackles. Ike Olson went 4-for-11 passing for 51 yards and one interception. He delivered two sacks, and Anthony Prince contributed two tackles. “Defensively, we had a very good third quarter and played them even,” said Scheller. “Our defence stepped up it’s intensity and Goldenthal made a great play on the pick six.” Fulton, now 1-4, wraps up the season Wednesday against the Westsyde Blue Wave in Kamloops. Meanwhile, the Vernon Panthers will play their first home game in five years when they host Fulton in varsity action Saturday, noon, at VSS.

Finlay makes debut as Vipers host Cents Saturday GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff

Just when Liam Finlay was developing a healthy dislike of the Vernon Vipers, he became one. Finlay, a 17-year-old forward from Kelowna, was traded to the Snakes by the Penticton Vees Wednesday afternoon in exchange for future considerations. He will make his Vernon debut Saturday (6 p.m.) when the Vipers (7-50-1) entertain the Merritt Centennials (9-5) in B.C. Hockey League action at Kal Tire Place. Liam Finlay “When you’re in Penticton, you hate these guys so much,” grinned Finlay, who met his new teammates at Thursday practice. “It’s a huge rivalry. I guess I just have to come here and learn to love it. They seem like a really good group of guys.” With the addition of Finlay, the Vipers now have four Okanagan Rocket grads on the roster – d-man Mitch Oliver and forwards Linden Hora and Brandon Wagner.

Sun Dial Lighting 2801 44th Avenue, Vernon

250-545-7370

At 5-foot-7, 145 pounds, Finlay is one of the smallest players in the BCHL, but Hora doesn’t believe that will hold him back. “He’s a really slick player and he can get a lot of points,” said Hora. “He’s good at making plays.” Added Finlay: “Some people see my size being against me, but I think it’s a benefit sometimes. Maybe I’m tougher to track and tougher to hit. “I can bring some speed to the table. They have a good group of offensive guys here and hopefully I can contribute to that.” Finlay is one of a few players to earn an NCAA Division 1 scholarship out of Major Midget. He is already committed to the Denver Pioneers for 2016-17. “They watched me a few games and the coach (Jim Montgomery) talked to me,” said Finlay. “He was a player kind of like I am, and he saw a bit of himself in me. “I wouldn’t want to go any place but Denver. It’s a good program.” If Finlay can adapt to the physical rigours of the BCHL, he has the offensive upside to do some damage on the score-

board. He amassed 101 points (27 goals, 74 assists) in 68 career games with the Rockets. “He’s a talented guy, history tells you that,” said Vernon head coach Mark Ferner. “I’m not too worried about the size. I’m worried about the compete level.” Ferner plans to give Finlay a look on the powerplay, which has recorded a woeful four goals on 59 attempts (6.78 per cent). His regular linemates against Merritt will be fellow waterbug Jagger Williamson and power forward Luke Voltin. Vernon rallied past Merritt 4-2 a week ago, and then fell 1-0 to Penticton Saturday night. Luke Pierce’s Cents are coming off of a 6-2 thumping of the Chilliwack Chiefs (10-3-0-1) Tuesday night. In other Interior Division play Wednesday, the Vees (141) crushed the Surrey Eagles (3-9-0-3) 10-0. SNAKE BITES: Vernon forward TJ Dumonceaux is questionable for Saturday, while forward Mackenzie Bauer will be out of the lineup for at least another week...With Riley Brandt suspended, Ferner plans to call up another forward against the Cents.

Dwyer shines for Knights Continued from A19

Braeden Beacom had two goals for the Cougars, who started Jordan Foster in goal. Keenon Jeberg, on a crisp tic-tac-toe passing play from Nick Hartwig and Jake Barnett, and Kimberly Whitelaw, driving hard to the net, had the other markers. In exhibition play Saturday in Armstrong, the Cougars fell 6-1 to the North Okanagan Knights. Hartwig, assisted by Talon Williams, put the shortmanned Five Star crew up 1-0 heading into the first intermission. Eli Dwyer and Wesley Graves replied for North Okanagan in period two. The Cougars kept it close until the ran into penalty troubles with 12 minutes to play. The Knights pulled away with two powerplay goals from Dwyer, and one from Nicholas Walker, who also had an even-strength goal. Julia McCaig and Nathan Hamming drew assists. Foster and Maglio were both solid for the Cats. Levi Petersen and Wyatt Fowler were stellar in the victory for the Knights.

Lakers in Halloween spirit

The Lumby Tirecraft Lakers ‘ghouls’ team showed no fear in playing to a 1-1 Bantam draw with host Chase on Saturday. Icing only 10 bodies, the Lakers put a scare into the home team. Lakers’ ghoulie (Mad) Maddie Johnson, stopped a late third-period penalty shot and ‘Vladnessa’ Yaremcio scored with 53 seconds to salvage the tie. Hanna (Satana) Mitchell, named hard worker, provided the assist. The rest of the Lakers ghouls – (Evil) Emily Romailler, (Grossey) Josey Nerling, (Demonic) Demi Williamson, Taylor (Hissin) Cousins, ‘Slayton’ Kineshenko, Chelsea (You in Hell) Marshall and (Grave) Robyn Alexis – were all spooktacular. Coach Arnie (Severed) Head was proud of the Lakers’ play.

Bolts bow to North Okanagan

In Pee Wee play, North Okanagan shaded the Stevenson Mechanical Bolts 3-2 Sunday at Kal Tire Place. Less than a minute in, the Bolts got a jumpstart from Jordyn Morris, who picked off a clearance attempt and drilled a shot home through traffic.

Ethan Keber stood tall in the Vernon net, holding the Knights to a single goal through 30 minutes. Teja Sheldrake, tending the second half, was tested early as he shut down a breakaway with a lightningquick glove save. Shortly after, speedster Shaelyn Cecchini forced a turnover in North Okanagan’s zone, which led to a Sapien Joe snapshot that went five-hole. The Knights tied it late in the second, setting up a frantic final frame. The Bolts attacked in waves, gaining an edge in territorial play and shot count, however, the Knights weathered the storm and recorded the win on a late shorthanded goal.

Samurais topple Warriors

Nic Morgan and Noah Ferriera, with his first Atom goal, handled the offence as the McDonald’s Golden Warriors fell 7-2 to Salmon Arm Samurais last weekend. Jonathan Finlayson and Morgan providing the assists. Morgan earned the Golden Jersey for playing with passion. Finlayson collected the Canada Jersey for his passing and steady work on the blueline. Garrin Best toughed it out to help his shortbenched team, but eventually left due to illness. Hunter Whiting was incredible on the forecheck and in the faceoff circle. Joshua Donison was stellar in goal. The female Atom/Pee Wee Lakers showed moxy in a 10-0 loss to Kelowna on Sunday. Skating hard up front for Vernon were Mackenzie Miller, Sarah Claeys and Abby Lawlor. Defenders Emma Roine, Kaitlyne Andrew and Robyn Alexis were tireless on the blueline. The Lakers are hosting their Halloween female Pee Wee home tournament this weekend at Civic.

Revelstoke raids Stars

The Lumby Atom Stars, sponsored by Terry’s Automotive and Irly Bird Building Centre, fell 9-3 to Revelstoke Sunday at Pat Duke Memorial Arena. The teams were tied after the first period, but Revelstoke pulled away in the second. Lumby scored twice in the third period, but it was a bit too late. Mia Maltman earned the Lumby hard hat for great work and hustle.

Sports Bennison banks gold NFL STAR PICKS

Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s Hannah Bennison struck gold in the 15-year-old girls 3,000-metre race Saturday at the B.C. Athletics Cross-Country Championships in Abbotsford. Bennison, a VSS student who trains with Okanagan Athletics, completed the two-loop course at Clearbrook Park in nine minutes and 37 seconds. The Clearbrook Park course featured a hill in the middle, and Bennison used it to her advantage, attacking the upside and letting her legs freewheel going down. Bennison is com-

Maroons sweep Sonics Morning Star Staff

The Fulton Maroons remained undefeated in North Zone Senior AA Girls Volleyball League play after a 3-0 sweep of the host Seaton Sonics Tuesday night. Nazarena Wurz delivered eight kills, and Aryana Jacura and Megan Rouault adding three apiece in helping Fulton earn set scores of 25-16, 25-7, 25-10. Brittany Skrenek and Wurz each contributed three aces, and Ashley Eso went on a six-serve run to pull the Maroons out front. Setters Nicole

Olson and Erin Sakamoto performed well in controlling the Maroon’s attack. Sharon Shaigec’s Maroons are entered in the Westsyde Round Robyn Tournament this weekend in Kamloops. They then host North Zone championships – featuring the Kalamalka Lakers, Revelstoke Rams and Pleasant Valley Sinners – starting at 4 p.m., Tuesday. The top three teams advance to AA Valleys, Nov. 14-15 (host to be determined). Brentwood College is hosting AA provincials, Nov. 27-29, in Mill Bay.

Vortex tracking success Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Vortex lapped up 35 personal best times while battling in short-track speed skating competition Saturday in Kamloops. The Vortex’s Jared Eddy led the way with PBs in each of his five events, while Laura Hall and Logan Stewart each recorded four. Jonah Violini, Nathan Stewart, Declan Fitzpatrick, Nate Benn, Daniel Hall and Mattias Isobe each contributed three to the club total. Lauryn Eddy and Tadhg Boyle each had two personal best performances. To close out the competition, there was a two-person, 10-minute relay.

The duo of Daniel Hall and Benn won the first division with an incredible 4.6km, Jonah Violini and Declan Fitzpatrick finished third at 4km with Nathan and Logan Stewart coming in third at 3.7km. In the second division, Laura Hall and Eddy finished fourth (4.3km) and Isobe and Boyle were fifth (4.2km). “It was a great team performance,” said Vortex head coach Mike Hall. “The improvements are coming at a rate that is setting the team up to have strong representation at the next B.C. Winter Games.” The 2015 Games start Feb. 20, in Mission.

Posse rounds up Knights Morning Star Staff

A third-period surge wasn’t enough for the North Okanagan Knights Wednesday night at NorVal Sports Centre. Trailing by four goals early in the final frame, the Knights got back three of them, only to fall 6-4 in Kootenay International Junior Hockey League play. North Okanagan (2-11-1-2) has lost three straight games and is winless in its last eight, dating back to late September. The Knights have a pair of road games this weekend – Saturday in Rutland against the Kelowna Chiefs (5-9-1-1) and Sunday in Sicamous against the Eagles (10-8). Forward Austin Fournier (3rd, 4th goals) led North Okanagan against Princeton with a deuce. He recorded the 2-1 goal early in the second period, and completed the offence with 7:50 to play in regulation. D-man Austin Garrington (3rd) began a Knights’ comeback 4:46 into the third period. Zackari Andrusiak (2nd), who assisted on Fournier’s first

snipe, scored with 8:33 to play. The Posse spread out the offence, singles coming from Destin Robinson, Tyler Ehlers, Colton St John, Trevor Pereverzoff, Kurtis Klinger and Daine Elphicke. “We’re pretty evenly matched with them but the scores tell a different story,” said Knights’ captain Dryden Profeit. “We just have a little five- or 10-minute lapse and they seem to pop a couple. “We usually come out strong against Princeton, but they had a couple of bounces. They had one goal go in off our goalie’s head. We couldn’t catch a bounce.” Profeit and Tyler Mork will likely miss Saturday’s tilt, and possibly more, serving suspensions resulting from a second-period line brawl. Profeit tangled with the Posse’s Bradly Palumbo, Mork tussled with Morton Johnston and Trent Redschlag earned an instigator for going after Erik Dion. Head coach Jim Armstrong might also be watching from the stands Saturday as a result of the brawl.

News University campus helps students prepare for career search Morning Star Staff

A major goal of attending university is to land a great career. With this in mind, University of B.C. Okanagan’s faculty of management is organizing Career Days from Sunday to Wednesday to give students job hunting skills, ideas, and tips needed for today’s fast-paced world. “Career Days provides a lot of fantastic programming designed to help students define their own unique career paths,” said Rhys Mahannah, organizer of the event. “The event provides the opportunity for our students to learn about career skills, develop their resumés and interview strategies.” Career Days kicks off with a student leadership conference, with a variety of educational sessions. This takes place Sunday and information can be found at: www.ubc.ca/okanagan/ students/campuslife/ SLC.html During Career Days, the faculty of management is hosting several campus events, including the back-by-popular-demand Extreme Makeover resumé review session Tuesday and the speed-networking and social event at 5 p.m. the same day. Students can register for these at cdsocial-2014.eventbrite. com “During the speednetworking and social, students will learn more about what various organizations are doing and what types of student and graduate positions they’re offering,” said Mahannah. “This is a great opportunity for students to engage with the organizations that interest them most, while enjoying catered food and a drink.” The mock interview session, Ace Your Interview, takes place Wednesday, and Mahannah says this free workshop is ideal for people who get jittery

at the thought of a job interview. All UBC students

attending the Okanagan campus are welcome to participate in the

events and UBC alumni are encouraged to take part in both the speed-

networking and social activities. Career Days details

Contest critical for Lake Country food bank plans KEVIN PARNELL Black Press

If organizers behind an online campaign to try and raise money for a new Lake Country Food Bank building can garner enough public support to win an online contest, construction for a new building could begin in the spring. But that’s a big if. The Rotary Club of Lake Country has qualified for the semi-final round of a national online contest being held by the Aviva Community Fund. The winning project will receive $100,000 from Aviva. “We’re absolutely delighted we’ve made it to the semi-final round,” said Dave Colquhoun, Lake Country Rotary Club secretary. “We’ve got a large number of supporters who are helping us build support for the project by voting for it on the web site. We are hoping they will continue to vote and push us into the finals.” The first round of the contest completed earlier this month and Lake Country received enough votes to move onto the next round of the contest. Now it will be up against 120 other projects across Canada with only 40 advancing to the final round. “It’s only one in three projects that will advance so we are in a very tight race,” said Colquhoun. “We’re hoping to rally all of the community behind us to vote on the project.” During the past two years the Rotary Club in Lake Country has raised over $100,000 to go towards building a new food bank building. The District of Lake Country has given land for the building to be built on, in the same complex as the Winfield Curling Club and arena. Local building contractors are ready with in-kind donations while Okanagan College and UBCO are also stepping forward to help with labour,. But the project won’t go ahead until another $100,000 is raised and the Aviva project would put the fundraising efforts over the top. “We need a little over $200,000 to initiate construction,” said Colquhoun. “If we are successful in this contest

that would take us most of the way there to the point where we would need very little more to get going. If we are

unsuccessful we will continue fundraising for it.” Plans to build a new food bank building were given even more of a push

recently when a for sale sign went up on the Lake Country Boys and Girls Club, property owned by the Central Okanagan

School District and the building where the current food bank operates out of. The semi-finals of

the Aviva contest begins Dec. 1 and runs for 10 days. To find out more information, search A New Home For the Lake

Direct to Smelter – Precious Metals Roadshow coming to Vernon Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin will be in Vernon Thursday, November 6, Friday, November 7 and Saturday, November 8 during a roadshow making its way through the Okanagan. You can bring your gold, silver, coins and Canadian paper money to the Schubert Centre in Vernon between 10 am and 6 pm each day. No appointment is required. Barry Dick is a precious metals buyer and President of Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin.

“Ursa Major has the unique advantage of dealing direct with a smelter” said Dick. “That allows us to cut out one or even two middlemen. Ursa Major purchases gold and silver from other gold buyers, pawn shops, jewellers and jewellery makers as well as from the general public.” Recent price increases of precious metals have created lots of “gold buyers” including mail in companies. Many of those buyers offer pennies on the dollar to unsuspecting customers and are limited to what they buy, choosing to ignore silver and coins and only purchase gold. Ursa Major analyzes your gold, silver and coins while you watch, with the process explained to you in detail. Coins with numismatic value are set aside from those with a ‘melt’ value. Items thought to contain gold will be for hallmarks, and then confirmed using precise testing that is done while you watch. Then a cash offer is made and you decide to sell or not. Dick took out his first gold claim when he turned 16 in the 1970’s and has been involved with precious metals ever since. An ardent gold panner, he was a regular at the world championship gold panning competition with a personal best of 3rd place in 1984. Now he concentrates on building the wholesale business while taking the roadshow out one or two times a month across Western Canada.

“People bring in all kinds of interesting items, but for the most part it is a broken or old chain, unloved jewelry, a single earring, and out of fashion items like charm bracelets. We also accept dental gold but it should be clean. Another valuable item is coin with silver content. Dimes, Quarters, Half Dollars and Dollars from Canada and America can be sorted and the silver content determined in no

Ursa Major has extensive experience working with estate sales, executors, widows and widowers in a respectful and caring manner. No appointment necessary.

More than 50 people attended the first City of Vernon Citizens Patrol Group Saturday at the Prestige Hotel. The conference, held in conjunction with the Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP, drew Citizens Patrol volunteers from Salmon Arm, Logan Lake, Summerland, Kelowna, Kamloops, Lumby and Vernon for a day of guest speakers, training and networking. “The biggest takeaways from the conference were the networking and information-sharing opportunities with other regional Citizens Patrol groups, which I think was beneficial for all of our attendees, in addition to the skills and knowledge training,” said Regan Borisenko, crime prevention coordinator for the City of Vernon. “The feedback we received was 100 per cent positive towards the conference presentations as well as the central location.” Presenters at the conference included the RCMP volunteer management program director, ICBC road safety co-ordinator, RCMP Combined Forces special enforcement unit, the Southeast District telecoms unit and Vernon’s provincial dog services.

Ingenuity helps with cleaning Morning Star Staff

Creativity has helped Armstrong with its annual cleaning of sediment at Fortune Creek’s intake dam. The dam requires annual cleaning of sediment build-up from the spring freshet. In April, the city’s public works department custom-built and installed a slide gate valve on the exterior of the dam. This allowed for stream flow control, and flushing of sediment during runoff. “This year’s draining and inspection of the intake dam revealed minimal build-up of sediment and cleaning was not required,” said public works manager Tim Perepolkin. “We will continue to control flow and flush the dam during the spring freshet annually to determine if it’s possibly reducing our turbidity into the disinfection facility and distribution system.” Perepolkin said this was the first year in many that the city did not have to implement stage two water restrictions during spring runoff as a result of a high turbidity.

Avenue Q hits the street

Nitty aNd Gritty

Part felt, part flesh, this is not your kids’ puppets-meetpeople show Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

It’s not exactly sunny day, sweepin’ the clouds away, on the way to where the air is sweet on Avenue Q. Unlike that other street, where puppets and humans interact and sing the alphabet, this award-winning stage musical is about poor sadsacks who actually have to pay bills – and features such songs as I’m Not Wearing Underwear Today and If You Were Gay. The irreverently witty and outright uproarious musical is billed as “Sesame Street for adults” and comes with this warning: “full puppet nudity and other vulgarities will induce laughter.” (Hey, I don’t make this stuff up.) Now celebrating its 51st season, Vancouver’s Arts Club Theatre Company brings Avenue Q to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Thursday, following its hit performances of Boeing Boeing, Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story, A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline and The Number 14. Jennifer Smith/morning Star Part felt, part flesh, and packed Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s GET UP TO A with songs that are surprisingly Jeff Hanna, backed by poignant and only occasionally John McEuen (above, PC, Avenue Q has won numerous left) and Jimmie ® awards, including two Theatre Fadden on drums (left) World Awards.

Nick Fontaine and Jeremy Crittenden star in Arts Club Theatre’s Avenue Q, coming to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Thursday. ics are outrageous, the script is hilarious, and the characters are delightful,” said Peter Jorgensen, who is directing the Arts Club production currently on tour through B.C. “Underneath its colourful fur, a big, boisterous heart beats. Avenue Q is the perfect musical comedy…unless you are under 14 years of age. I’m thrilled to be taking our hit production on tour to entertain even more audiences.” This is a puppet show. However, Avenue Q is not your kids’ puppet show as it sneaks peeks at raucous sexual congress, failed childhood stardom, excessive drinking, moving in and out of a slummy neighbourhood, investing, getting laid off, finding your purpose, getting fired, getting re-hired, exotic dancing, erotic dancing, exotic-erotic dancing, homosexuality, racism, coming out of the closet, coming out of your apartment, getting ahead in life, going to college, pan-handling, wishing you were back in college, coming out of your shell, recycling, and so it goes.

The musical story of Princeton (Jeremy Crittenden), a bright-eyed college graduate who arrives in New York City looking for love, a job, and his purpose in life, the only neighbourhood he can afford is the multicultural Avenue Q, where Sesame Street-esque puppets rub shoulders with humans. Some of those humans taking the stage, besides Crittenden, include Jeny Cassady, Kayla Dunbar, Nick Fontaine, Evangelia Kambites, Andy Toth, and Selina Wong. They perform those irreverently witty musical numbers backed by musicians John Bews, Niko Friesen and David Sikula under the direction of music director Sean Bayntun. The show’s set designer is Marshall McMahen, who has designed numerous sets for Caravan Farm Theatre. Avenue Q takes the stage at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Thursday at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $47 for adults, $44 for seniors, and $42 for students.

Ouija

hen a teenage girl kills herself after playing with a Ouija board, her friends investigate by continuing to play Ouija, until, one by one, they too start to die mysteriously. In order Taylor and Howe for the horror to stop, they must solve the mystery of the unhappy spirits with whom they have come into contact. We say, “Ouija is simple, fun and scary at a PG-13 level.” TAYLOR: Which is to say, it didn’t scare me at all. Yet the film is effective enough. It has the right parts in the right places. It’s sort of a entry level, textbook horror film, suitable for the young and/or squeamish. It’s a cheaper film, costing only $5 million to make. It was the first time behind the camera for director Stiles White, who has previously written The Possession, Knowing and Boogeyman, but is mainly known for his work with Stan Winston’s special effects studio. The same can be said for first time cinematographer David Emmerichs, who has been a camera opera-

tor on many recent films we’ve seen. I bring these two up because, although this film simply goes through the “PG13 horror film checklist,” the effective and glossy style with which the film has been produced are due to their efforts. HOWE: I agree. I didn’t find it that scary, but sit a 12 or 13 year old in front of it, and if they haven’t seen a horror film before, it will do the trick. The thing I liked about it was the mystery side to the story, I have always enjoyed that side to a horror flick compared to the hacking, slashing killer on the loose, destroying everything and everyone in their path. The textbook style is very obvious: a group of teenage

friends getting bumped off one by one, a little romance (but not too much to keep it kid friendly) and the hero/ heroine surviving the final battle so the film company can cash in and make a part two. TAYLOR: Whenever you have a film that quadruples its budget in profit, you’re guaranteed a sequel. It’s a sound business decision and something that perpetuates the ever growing distance between film as a work of art and a product. As for the mysterious aspect of the film, I felt that it was all going to be explained to me by some creepy person near the end and it was. On an originality scale, Ouija would score very low, but it is

well produced and didn’t bore me, so it passes, barely. HOWE: I was waiting for Scooby Doo and the gang to turn up and solve the mystery. –Taylor gives Ouija 2.5 obligatory baths out of 5. –Howe gives it 3 sewing needles out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Sparrow takes flight

Jay Sparrow: Bluebird

E

dmonton singer/songwriter Jay Sparrow is an expunk gone country-rock.

Science Behind

His voice ain’t pretty, more of a high pitched bark that you’d hear at some backwoods hooteDean Gordon-Smith nanny, but it has character. On Bluebird, his first fulllength solo album, the Albertabased singer/songwriter cultivates a gritty alternative country vibe like a rough-edged Brad

the Scare

Street SoundS

Paisley without the guitar histrionics. As such, he’s a good representative of the flourishing roots-rock community in Western Canada. There’s a toughness to Sparrow’s sound – it’s a terse stringed instrument-driven hybrid of rock and country. The distance between Edmonton and Nashville is noticeably apparent on tracks like All the Boys Want You. This song seems like a flagship tune for the album, pushed forward by its angular vocals and raw choruses. Most of all it moves on exuberance and good ol’ attitude. Sparrow and his band get that across easily and the album has a candid, slap-back spirit, driven by nervous ener-

gy and rocking communion. They summon up a weird swampy revivalist atmosphere on songs like Bound By Nothing that has biting lyrics like “Never had a redneck mind/Or whatever you call my kind/My mother had Christ/But she wouldn’t preach/Because she couldn’t lie.” Otherwise, there’s plenty of good-time, throw-down wheat field country and straight out party rock (Everything but Today). Sparrow has some of the strident Jack White delivery in his singing and the music has an edge, even when delivered with a back porch banjo (The Wind and the Risk). Sparrow and his band don’t hold back and Bluebird is a passionate performance that’s close to the bone.

Great Bear Rainforest crusader Ian McAllister gives presentation at Okanagan College Vernon campus Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

It’s a photo that has been seen around the world and has brought attention to an area of B.C. noted for both its unparalleled marine and land wildlife. Taken by noted photographer/conservationist Ian McAllister, the photo shows a black bear and its white-coated ursine brother, the Kermode, in the region known as the Great Bear Rainforest. It’s an area that McAllister knows well. He has not only toted his camera through hectares of the temperate rainforest, known for its 1,000-year-old western red cedars and 90 metre-tall Sitka spruce, but he also lives on a small island off the Central Coast in a region he says is “dominated by the ocean.” “People see the imagery and they want to learn about the place and want to visit there,” said McAllister, who is currently on tour to launch his new book of photography, Great Bear Wild: Dispatches from a Northern Rainforest, and stops in at Okanagan College’s Vernon campus Monday for a presentation. “It’s such as privilege to work in a place of such beauty with the wildlife and landscape.” McAllister actually lived in Vernon as a child, and left the grasslands and cemented corridor of what is now the Okanagan for the greener and more lush pastures of Vancouver Island and later the Central Coast in 1990. He now lives on Denny Island with his wife Karen, also a conservationist, and two children, ages eight and 11. “There is no road through the Great Bear Rainforest. There are no roads to our house on the island. We travel by boat,” he said. There are approximately 70 year-round residents on Denny Island, and the children living there, including McAllister’s, attend a one-room classroom. “My kids grew up in the Great Bear Rainforest. It’s all they know. We are right close to the Inside Passage, so in the summertime we have more people coming up to visit the area. Once fall comes around though, it’s a lot quieter,” he said. The area is also dominated by extreme weather, so if a storm hits, shutting down The

Photographer/conservationist Ian McAllister is at Okanagan College in Vernon Monday to present a talk on his new book, Great Bear Wild: Dispatches from a Northern Rainforest. the ferries and planes, things can get a little isolated. McAllister wouldn’t have it any other way. A co-founder and current director of aptly named organization Pacific Wild, McAllister is like The Lorax, in that he speaks for not only the trees, but for every living thing that calls the Great Bear Rainforest and the coastal region home. He is the author of The Great Bear Rainforest, winner of the B.C. Bookseller’s Choice Award, and his images have appeared in publications around the world. He has been honoured by The Globe and Mail as one of 133 highly accomplished Canadians, and he and Karen were named by Time Magazine as “Leaders of the 21st Century” for their efforts to protect B.C.’s rainforest. McAllister is also a member of the International League of Conservation Photographers and has won the North America Nature Photography Association’s Vision Award and the Rainforest Action Network’s Rainforest Hero Award. McAllister’s intention with his latest book is to document not only the species and landscape of the region he calls

home, but to show what the threats from increased energy production entail. He is especially concerned about the marine ecology that he says is threatened by humans and their incessant need for oil. Recent news of the Russian tanker, carrying 400 tons of bunker oil and 50 tons of diesel fuel, which went adrift for three days off the B.C. coast, is just one indication of future catastrophes, he says. “The work we do is one way to symbolize more than the rainforest, but Canada’s decision whether to protect or impact the planet and specifically this region,” said McAllister. Present when the joint review panel for the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline recommended that the federal government approve the project, McAllister, says the time is now to make that decision. “It’s all about the jobs and the economy, but what’s at stake on the coast is the large functional ecosystems, the wildlife and wilderness, and sustaining First Nation communities,” he said. McAllister says the return of marine mammals such as the humpback whale as well as increased populations of Pacific white-sided dolphins and sea otters to the region will be impacted by more oil tankers navigating the waters. “It’s like the ocean is telling us not to give up. There’s an abundance of these mammals from over a decade ago. It was rare to see a humpback whale in these waters and now you see the blowholes. These are acoustically reliant animals that will be completely affected by more tanker traffic,” he said. And as the saying goes, a picture says a thousand words when it comes to showing just what will be affected. “The more I get involved in my film work and photography, the more immersed I become. It’s more of a heavy responsibility to show what’s truly at stake by illustrating and describing the relationship between the rainforest and the ocean... And there is a lot of work still to do.” Part of the Science in Society Speaker Series (a joint project by Okanagan College and the Okanagan Science Centre), McAllister will give his multimedia presentation entitled The Great Bear Wild: Why Should We Care About Its Protection? in the lecture theatre at Okanagan College’s Vernon campus Monday at 7:30 p.m. Admission for the event is $7 in advance or $10 at the door.

Kitchen goes back in time Christine Kashuba Special to The Morning Star

With its brand-new kitchen, Mackie Lake House has been taken back in time, from the 21st century to its origins in 1910. It all started in 2002, when the Mackie Lake House Foundation engaged Don Luxton and Associates to create a concept plan for Mackie Lake House, with this 67- page plan completed in 2004. In April 2011 Don visited the house and discussed a number of items from the concept plan, including the kitchen. He suggested that we return the kitchen to its original condition and create a functional kitchen in the anteroom. This was the genesis of our current kitchen renovation project. Mackie Lake House was built in 1910 and it remains relatively unchanged from its original construction. The exception was the original kitchen, which was updated to make a more functional kitchen in the 1940s. Since then, the kitchen had been changed a number of times to accommodate a dishwasher and other “modern” improvements. Therefore the kitchen was out of character with the rest of the house. The desire of the Mackie Lake House Foundation was to return the existing kitchen to its original state to enhance the heritage value of the house and provide the opportunity to present a 1910 era kitchen to school children and tour participants. Adjacent to the original kitchen is an anteroom which was not shown on the original architect’s drawings but was added shortly after the house was finished. This anteroom was being used as the back entrance and storage room. It was unheated, had no plumbing and only one electric light fixture in the ceiling. The project plan involved turning the anteroom into a functional kitchen which meets existing health requirements, and provides a kitchen which can be used for catering events and for use by the house. Creating a functional kitchen in the anteroom enabled us to restore the current kitchen to a 1910-era kitchen. We were able to preserve the integrity of the house and there were no changes or alterations to the exterior of the building, preserving its heritage status. On Oct. 5, the Mackie Lake House

Group member Ted Hoyte has learned much about his own family history, including that of his maternal great-grandmother, Effie Costerton. Born in London, England in 1874, Effie immigrated to Canada in the mid-1880s. After a few years in Ontario, the family came to Enderby, where her father Samuel Gibbs was manager of a flour mill in the early 1890s. She married Clement F. Costerton in May 1894 and they had four children, all born in Vernon; first son Charles died at age two and is buried at Pioneer Cemetery (off of Alexis Park Drive ). The other three children — two boys and the girl who became Hoyte’s grandmother — grew up and married, with two living in

Vernon and one in Revelstoke. “All three are buried at Pleasant Valley Cemetery, Vernon,” said Hoyte. “Effie and Clement’s marriage broke up in 1911 and she lived with another man, Dr. Gerald Williams, in Vernon. “According to her obituary, she was visiting her parents, who at that time were living in Lillooet, when she died at age 47 July 20, 1922. She is buried there alongside her parents who died after her in the late 1920s.” Hoyte and all members of the society are happy to share their knowledge to help others research their own family genealogy. The open house takes place Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Vernon & District Family History Society’s research centre, lower level of Peace Lutheran Church, 1204-30th Ave. Volunteers will be available to help others research their own family history more effectively, from how to use the family tree software to the best method of storing antique photos.

Some time ago I visited a Care Facility in Ontario and found a young woman who was an invalid unable to speak or move, except for one arm. The Ecclesia had hooked up a radio transmitter. After some discussion I asked her ‘Why don’t you just give up and die?’ She pointed to an Alphabet Board which I placed on her chest. Then she pointed to each letter: “F o r I h a v e l e a r n e d i n w h a tsoever state I am therewith to be c o n t e n t.” Phil. 4:11.

Effie Catherine (née Gibbs) Costerton is the maternal great-grandmother of Ted Hoyte, a member of the Vernon & District Family History Society, which holds an open house Saturday.

Workshop offers guide to great relationships SuSan Fenner Special to The Morning Star

Men and women are playing a “get-toknow you” game amidst shrieks of laughter — this is a participation workshop in communication skills conducted by Vancouver based certified Nonviolent Communication trainer Eric Bowers. He will be in Vernon Nov. 7 to 9 to present “Your Guide to Great Relationships.” He also has extensive training in attachment theory and interpersonal neurobiology, all of which will be blended into the captivating workshop. The workshop promises calming tools

that will help participants have less conflict and fighting, and more connection and fun, all of which leads to love that deepens instead of disintegrating. Bowers will explain how the emotional and relationship brain works and, through interactive exercises, games, stories and original songs, he helps participants to strengthen their autonomy and deepen intimacy. Participation in any part of the workshop is completely voluntary. “He had all sorts of fun games that got us up and moving while also learning a particular skill around

empathy and compassion,” a previous participant enthused. “He was really patient with our questions and was wonderful at taking his time to ensure we all understood a particular concept.” Through experiential learning and lots of practice, the workshop attendees will discover communication that resolves conflict effectively, strengthens bonds, and builds healthy emotional brains. Bowers also highlights the reasons why relationships get into trouble and what to do about it. For some this will mean focusing on how to integrate

unresolved pain and trauma that keep you from having the relationships you want. Prior to his work in communication and counselling, Bowers was a musician, and he carries his love of creating music into his workshops. The weekend workshop in Your Guide to Great Relationships will take place at the Centre for Spiritual Living, 2913-29th Ave., Vernon. The Nov. 7 session goes from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.; Saturday is 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.; and Sunday is 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. This is a pay-what-

Horsey Ladies get ready to give back Morning Star Staff

The Horsey Ladies are at it again. The 17th annual North Okanagan Horsey Ladies Banquet & Charity Auction is Nov. 14 at the Spallumcheen Golf & Country Club. Over the years, this group of ladies has donated more than $57,000 to local charities. “Seventeen years ago there was only a handful of gals meeting for a Christmas dinner and it has now grown to 130 horsey ladies in attendance,” said Nancy Roman, Horsey Ladies committee member. The fundraising portion only started a few years back when the group decided to hold a silent and ticket auction with donated items, then all proceeds go to a local charity which the gals vote on that same evening. “We never know who the money is going to. It’s the majority vote,” said Roman, who has been involved from the start. The evening offers a Christmas turkey buffet, including vegetarian lasagne, salads and desserts. There is a cash bar, and an ATM machine on site. And new this year, Spallumcheen is holding its

own toy drive and has asked the Horsey Ladies that anyone who would like to donate a toy should bring it to the banquet, put their name on it, and be entered into a prize draw. Toys will go to a local youth group. Tickets for the banquet are $30 and now only available at Country West Supply in Armstrong, as The Paddock Tack & Togs in Vernon and Touch A Texas in Salmon Arm have already sold out. For more information or to donate, please call Roman at 250-546-9922 or see the Facebook page.

driveway Jeep blazed a trail for now booming accessory business By Ian Harwood

It’s fitting that there should be such a thing as a Jeep Trailblazer. But it’s not the aforementioned vehicle that I’m writing about today, rather the accessory range that adorn so many Jeeps today. The truth is that Jeep trailblazed what is now a booming accessory business for all makes and models of trucks. Smittybilt has been around for years and it has a lot to offer in the way of Jeep add-ons. An XRC front bumper is available to fit Jeeps from 1976-2014, manufactured from 3/16” cold roll steel. The XRC bumper is formed to manouevre your Jeep over obstacles such as those large boulders that seem to jump out at you at every turn. There is a built in winch plate that can accept up to a 10,000lb winch. Painted in a matte black powder coated finish and features a five year warranty. Cost is $515.99. There is also a matching rear bumper that has a built in tire carrier. This carrier can handle up to a 37” tall tire and is also matte black. It has a class three trailer hitch and d-ring mounts welded inside and out. This costs $337.79. XRC rock sliders are ideal for rock crawling; they protect the side of your Jeep from unwanted body damage and cost $368.59. Armor corner guards provide a larger wheel well

opening and feature a fender flare and fuel filler door. SRC tubular doors replace the factory doors and bolt up to the factory door hinges, a very easy install. $368. Roof racks are another popular item for Jeeps especially with the limited space. The SRC rack has removable cross bars for easy soft or hard top removable and is designed to work with Thule or Yakima roof rack accessories. It can hold up to 300 lbs and its contoured design flows well with the jeeps body lines. The cost is $429. Interior soft good items are available

to attach to the factory roll-cage and can hold a variety of items such as cellphones, flashlights, fire extinguishers, and even a bottle of water. Smittybilt also offers a centre console that has a security compartment and additional cup holders. This console is $110.00. There is a full line of trail equipment available. A clinometer that can be mounted on the dash and show you what angle you are on, side to side and front to back. It features a cool picture of a jeep in the dials. Cost is $24.59. A Trail jack is a very useful item to take with you into the back country. It is rated up to 4660 lbs and is constructed of solid cast steel that is powder coated. $92.19. Recovery straps are another valuable item to have and are available in 2x20, 2x30, and 3x30 feet lengths. They range in price from $24.59 to $49.19. The Recovery utility tool is a collapsible shovel that is very similar to the ones used in the military; it features two serrated edges for cutting and digging. Fully extended it is 26 inches long and collapsed is 9 inches, an easy item to pack and a great tool to carry with you. Cost is $20.89.

Top five movie clunkers By Ian Harwood

tive,” 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo: Jim Carey’s character “Ace Ventura” obviously cares more about the animals he is searching for than the car he is driving. Things go south almost immediately for Ace as his Monte Carlo is pummeled shortly after the opening credits by an angry man with a baseball bat. He is forced to spend the rest of the movie driving around with his head hanging out of the window, much like his canine companions. 5. Joe Dirt,” 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona: David Spade’s eponymous

character drives a beat-to-hell ’69 Dodge Daytona, which probably gave at least a few MOPAR enthusiasts a stroke mid-movie. Like Mr. Dirt’s mullet, the Daytona is all business up front, party in the back, featuring an ultra-aerodynamic nose cone and a rear wing of comical proportions.

It’s a lucky thing that Cash for Clunkers was enacted after any of these movies were made. These films would each have been a bit less amusing without their “star” cars. 1. “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” 1979 Alfa Romeo Alfetta 2000 Sport Sedan: Ferris Bueller’s long-suffering best friend CamRob Sass is the vice-president of content eron Frye “drove” this faded and rusty for Hagerty Insurance.

Previous Solution

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Don’t criticize others. Chances are, you are not privy to all of the information required to make a judgment call. If you show interest, perhaps you will be included in the fine details. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have a lot to offer, so don’t be too shy to share your beliefs and concepts with a broad range of

people. What you offer will lead to a proposal. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Be prepared to face opposition. You have to express your point of view clearly if you want to win your case. Vague promises will not persuade others to follow you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Romance is highlighted. If you are single, someone special is out there waiting for you, and if you are already committed to someone, now is the time to turn up the heat. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) All eyes will be on you. If you make the most of your time in the spotlight, you will end up in a higherpaying line of work. Your knowledge will attract partners. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) It’s human nature to want more, but if you are constantly in pursuit of something else, you won’t have time to appreciate what you already have. Stop and smell the roses.

Hormones Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

Moderately Confused

IMPLANT SUPPORTED DENTURE

Bridge by Phillip Alder ANOTHER STRANGE COMPUTER LEAD Eleanor Roosevelt said, “One thing life has taught me: If you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else.” That applies to bridge. You always learn new things about the game, your style of play, your partnership preferences and so on. In today’s deal, what would you have done differently during the bidding, and what should West lead against two hearts? Some pairs might have passed out this deal. But it was certainly reasonable for South to bid one heart. (With so few points, open

one heart, not one diamond.) Then some modern players sitting West would have made a takeout double, but I still think this would have been highly debatable with 4-3-33 distribution (especially with so few points). North’s twoheart rebid was excessively cautious. With 10 high-card points, he should have rebid two no-trump. Then South would have continued with a nonforcing three diamonds. (With game-going values, South would have to bid something other than three of a red suit.) And North probably would have passed, but might have invited game with four diamonds (although I would prefer to have the heart king and club ace). Note that five diamonds is only slightly worse than the trump finesse and makes

here. Against two hearts, a computer program West led the spade ace. Admittedly all leads were unpalatable, but a trump looks more normal. Not that anything mattered with hearts 3-3 and the diamond finesse working. Declarer was destined to win 11 tricks.

Are loose dentures a problem for you? If your dentures shift while chewing or talking and you are tired of those embarrasing moments, consider dental implants for stabilization. Imagine your denture snapping into place, feeling solid and secure. Often a new denture is not necessary. Your existing denture can be made to fit your new implants.
