Fair celebrates 4-H LISA VANDERVELDE Morning Star Staff
A walk through the barns at the Interior Provincial Exhibition is all it takes to find out how a program like 4-H has been successful in B.C. for 100 years. Stall after stall is occupied by beautiful well-kept animals, the majority of them belonging to 4-H club members. At any given moment the 4-H youth can be found sweeping floors, brushing out their sheep, chatting to fairgoers about their pig, taking a nap on their calf, or helping a friend move their large beef heifer. Cheyanne Haak, nine, of Enderby is new to the program but enjoys showing her calf, Trophy, and the Milky Way Dairy 4-H Club’s meetings. “I won a white ribbon, third place, and I showed again and got fifth place,” said Haak with a proud smile. For the Haaks 4-H is a family affair with Cheyanne and her sister Emmerson, seven, both involved and their brother Mason, four, sweeping for his sisters in anticipation of one day getting to raise his own calf. The 4-H club breeds responsibility and dedication because each member is in charge of the care and well-being of their own animal. Ada Browne, of the Creston Valley 4-H Club, spends seven to eight hours preparing her sheep Lily, a Suffolk cross, for showing. When asked why she puts in all the time and effort, Browne, an eight-year 4-H veteran, says, “I enjoy it, it is an art. It is like an artist enjoying painting, I enjoy shaping my animal.”

The IPE is showcasing the 4-H clubs with this year’s theme, Celebrate 100 Years of 4-H. Members are showing in the usual beef, swine, lamb and various other categories, as well as helping out in the 4-H Agricultural Awareness Tent. The 4-H auction is tonight and gives the club members the opportunity to sell the animals they have worked so hard to raise.

Strong opening to Interior Provincial Exhibition RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A North Okanagan tradition is drawing a crowd. The 115th Interior Provincial Exhibition attracted 16,262 people on opening day Wednesday. “Those are good strong numbers,” said Bryan Burns, adding that compares to 15,800 on the first day in 2013. “It was a really good start to the fair.” The plan is to now monitor attendance until the IPE wraps up Sunday, but even
the rain Thursday wasn’t slowing people down. “The shows were still going on and everything was just a little wet. It got the dust down,” said Burns. In 2013, 149,782 people attended the annual celebration in Bryan Burns Armstrong. A cha l lenge Wednesday was a bird flying into a power

line and knocking out electricity to the fairgrounds for a couple of hours. The midway rides were not impacted because they rely on generators for power. “Everyone was able to still get around and enjoy themselves,” said Burns. A man was also slightly injured when he fell through part of a metal walkway to a ride that was not aligned properly. Burns says he has been hearing positive comments about this year’s offering of the Armstrong fair, including the new location of Kids World.
“It has a chance to win Katy Perry tickets and that’s a huge draw,” he said. Also proving popular is the Wrangler Tour Rodeo in the grandstand. “The rodeo was fantastic,” said Burns, adding that there was an enthusiastic audience Wednesday night. “It was a really great crowd. It was probably a third more busier than we usually get opening day.” For more information, go to www. armstrongipe.com or check out the IPE’s Facebook page.

Vernon school trustees under fire richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Vernon School District trustees were left fighting off accusations that they aren’t actively doing enough to get students back into class. At Wednesday’s board meeting, several teachers and parents blasted trustees for not being vocal or placing pressure on the government to settle the dispute before classes are supposed to resume next week. “Stand up and put this first and get it done,” said teacher Robyn Ladner. Trustees voted to write another letter to the B.C. Public School Employers Association and the B.C. Teachers Federation asking that mediation begin immediately so a contract can be reached. “We’re past letter writing. You have a room full of teachers who want to start school next week,” said Ladner. “Your letter will not break a log jam.” A parent also urged trustees to be more active. “Come out on the picket line and start doing something. Stand in front of the MLA’s office,” he said. “That’s going to work?” responded chairperson Bill Turanski, which led to some teachers shouting, “That’s not funny.” Trustee Tami Ryder defended the process the board has taken over the labour dispute. “We’ve written six letters since March,” she said.
Lisa VanderVeLde/Morning star
Teachers Murray Sasges and Anne Monteith picket alongside other teachers in front of the Vernon School District office Thursday morning. “We are a very vocal board and we have sat here with huge concerns. We do what we can.” Ladner, though, continued the pressure. “We (teachers) cannot do this by ourselves. Push for mediation and push for the minister not to sabotage it,” she said. Turanski eventually closed off
the debate by taking issue with the comments from teachers. “The people here work their butts off to run the district and you should have more confidence in them,” he said. Also on Wednesday, trustees passed a motion opposing the provincial government giving $40 a day to parents for child care if a
contract is not reached with teachers before next week. “These funds need to be put back into schools,” said trustee Kelly Smith. “It’s a manipulation and we need to say that,” added trustee Mollie Bono. The board’s motion drew concern from Sheri Minard, District
Shelves empty as food bank demand is steady Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Donations are down, leaving the shelves at the Vernon food bank bare. “We’re out of rice, cereal, canned veggies, canned fruit, pasta, pasta sauce and brown beans,” said David MacBain, Salvation Army community ministries director. During the summer months, the number of donations can be down as many people are on holidays and just out enjoying the sun, said MacBain.

But the demand for food does not diminish during the summer. “The demand continues to be there,” said MacBain, who is encouraging quality donations. He is hopeful that donations can help, particularly with some upcoming food drives. The B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive collection week is scheduled for Sept. 8 to 13 in Vernon.

with the help of Rotarians and other local businesses and residents. Bags are left on local door steps for residents to fill with non-perishable items and put back out on their doorstep for volunteers to collect.

Cosens Bay Road a hot topic
250-542-6068 • General Repairs & Maintenance • FORD Trained Technician CLIFF & DIANE SMITH • Electronics Specialist rd
Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Speculation that work on Cosens Bay Road will result in a two-lane highway through Kal Lake Park is just that, speculation, according to government officials. The Ministry of Transportation says it has no such plans for the road. All it wants to do is make the dirt road a bit safer to travel on and save itself some maintenance costs. “We have to maintain the road and we’re hearing from residents and users, and our road maintenance contractors, that it is not safe,” said Erik Lachmuth, area manager of roads for the ministry. Lachmuth repeatedly explained this to some of the dozens of individuals who packed the Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park open house Wednesday at the Prestige Hotel. The open house detailed plans for the proposed boundary adjustment the ministry is seeking from B.C. Parks in order to establish a 30-metre-wide right-of-way where Cosens Bay Road traverses the park. Passion over the issue was evident, as one individual raised his voice against the proposal, causing a response from some cabin owners. Despite speculation, the right-of-way is simply to allow the ministry to work on the more rugged, treed section of the road, says Lachmuth. “This isn’t what will spur development.” The work includes brushing (cutting trees back next to road) to improve sightlines, digging new ditches for proper drainage so the road doesn’t wash out as easily, add gravel to build up the road and install additional road safety signage. “Our annual maintenance costs on that road are really high,” said Lachmuth. “We have to bring in a grader three or four times more often than most other roads.” Although the ministry is mandated to take care of the road, it cannot do such work without the boundary adjustment. Phil McGrew lives eight months out of the year at his cabin at Cosens Bay and is eager to see improvements on the road, before someone is injured. “This isn’t about a 30-metre-wide roadway, it’s about some minor fixes,” said McGrew. “We don’t want 30 metres of paved road either.” Meanwhile, close to 1,500 signatures have been gathered on a Friends of Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park petition opposed to the plans.

And there are other groups concerned. “We hike out there a lot and we’re very concerned about the wildlife,” said Robyn Thornton, with the North Okanagan Naturalists Club. Miranda Williams has concerns that this work could pave the way for future upgrades, such as demands for power and sewer to the cabins. “This is just the start,” she said, pointing out that the cabins used to be boat access only. “There shouldn’t even be a road.” Meanwhile, many of the cabin owners say they too respect the park and do not want to upset the delicate natural environment, they just want safe access to their cabins. “We are as much friends of the park as Friends of Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park are,” said Rob Johnston, spokesperson for 51 owners. Consultations will continue through the spring of 2015, after which an environmental impact assessment will be done and final application is submitted to B.C. Parks. It must then be passed in the Legislature.

ELECTORAL AREAS “D” AND “E” OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDMENT BYLAW No. 2603, 2013 The intent of this Bylaw is to amend the Electoral Areas “D” & ‘E” Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 2485, 2011 to include policies regarding Genetically Modified Organisms.

The community supports sustainable, traditional and organic agricultural practices in Electoral Areas “D” and “E”; • The residents of Electoral Area “E” (Cherryville) do not support the introduction, use, cultivation or propagation of genetically engineered (GE) organisms and encourage Electoral Area “E” agricultural producers to adopt a GE free policy for locally grown agricultural products; • Electoral Areas “D” and “E” encourages senior governments to require the labelling of all products intended for human consumption. All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by the above Bylaw shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the Bylaw..
Second meeting over plant richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Vernon School District officials will gather more input on a proposed pellet plant, but they admit there is little they can do to stop the Lavington facility. Trustees voted Wednesday to hold another meeting Sept. 2 on the topic after a request came from parents concerned about the potential impact pellet dust would have on the health of Lavington Elementary students. “We want parents to have an opportunity to provide their views. We need to lis- John Armstrong ten to them,” said trustee John Armstrong. However, Armstrong admits the district’s role is limited as the final decision about the plant will be made by the Ministry of Environment. “We don’t have any influence over the process but we can get educated and express our concerns to other jurisdictions,” he said. The Sept. 2 meeting will be at 4 p.m. at the school board office. “Comments will be restricted to safety,” said Bill Turanski, board chairperson.
“We have no jurisdiction over whether the District of Coldstream did the right thing or not (with rezoning the property).” On Wednesday, trustees received a presentation from Pinnacle Renewable Energy, which is proposing the pellet plant in conjunction with Tolko Industries. “We don’t see that there’s a lot of risk here,” said Leroy Reitsma, Pinnacle president. Pinnacle says the nearest emission point would be 356 metres from the school, with the average distance of emission being 410 metres. “The proposed emissions are below standards and it’s proven technology,” said Reitsma. Parents in the audience demanded there be a second board meeting so they could speak directly to trustees. “It’s children at the school with a sawmill next door and that requires balance,” said one parent Wednesday. However, Reitsma pointed out that the official input process for the proposal is over and his company is proceeding with its application to the Ministry of Environment, which will review all information before making a decision. “Boards, including yours, are being asked to step in as experts and make opinions and that’s not appropriate,” he told trustees.
Accidents send drivers to hospital Morning Star Staff
Two separate motor vehicle accidents resulted in individuals being taken to the hospital. On Wednesday at about 3:05 p.m., the RCMP responded to a two-vehicle accident on Highway 97 near Pinaus
Lake Road in Westwold. “The early indications are a GMC Envoy crossed the centre line and struck a silver Toyota Venza, head on,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. The Envoy was driven by a 32-year-old
Lumby woman whose daughter was in the back seat. The Venza was driven by a 52-yearold Kamloops woman and there were two passengers in the car. The two drivers and one passenger from the Venza were transport-

ed to Vernon Jubilee Hospital by paramedics. “All are in stable condition,” said Molendyk. “This file is still under investigation with possible charges under the Motor Vehicle Act to be laid.” On Thursday at about 12:20 a.m., the RCMP responded to a single-vehicle rollover at Highway 6 and Waddington Drive in Vernon. A 20-year-old Lumby man had to be extracted from his BMW and he was taken to VJH. “According to witness, the vehicle had been seen driving at excessive speeds before losing control,” said Molendyk. “Officers were able to speak to a passenger of the vehicle as part of their investigation into this crash.” There is the possibility of impaired driving and dangerous driving charges being laid at a future date.

he month-long Agricultural Land Commission consultation closed Aug. 22, and the B.C. government is compiling the feedback received from a provincewide tour and invitation to comment. I can’t tell you much about the official input. The consultation sessions were by invitation only, with no media allowed, and the submissions via website are also not public. I reached Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick as he was traveling around B.C. with his camper van, conducting his own meetings with farmers. He’s not saying Tom Fletcher much either, except that a summary of the findings should be made public in September as the government considers new regulations. The aim of this exercise is to consider relaxing rules around secondary farmland uses in the Interior, Kootenay and North regions, as well as food processing and retail sales of food and beverages on farmland. Also under consideration is allowing breweries and distilleries, as wine and cider production are now allowed, and relaxing rules to permit more off-farm products to be sold from farms. Letnick defended the 30-day summer consultation as adequate. It’s based on 11 questions developed with staff, farm groups and local government. He’s also not counting how many emails were stacked up by proponents or critics. “I’m not conducting a plebiscite,” Letnick said. “What I’m trying to do is come up with the best balance of recommendations to make to government that can hold their own based on the idea and the potential positive and negative consequences.” NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham was more forthcoming. She was invited to the formal sessions, and also won’t talk about them directly. But she’s not backing away from her criticisms. The government is proposing to bypass

the Agricultural Land Commission for several kinds of decisions, including subdivision for family use or into properties of 160 acres or more. “I think the general idea was that people trust the ALC to make that decision, and it should still go through the commission,” Popham said. “Actually the commission has been making those decisions anyway, and I think they’ve been quite fair when somebody applies.” She said farmers also aren’t sold on the notion of easing the rules for secondary businesses. “You will already find situations where there’s, let’s say a welding shop or something like that attached to somebody’s residence who lives on ALR land,” Popham said. “That sort of stuff has been allowed, but it’s always had to go through the ALC or some sort of process that’s been in place. This leaves that process out, and so I think that’s the problem people are having.” She noted that non-farm activities have a way of growing until they become the main business. A reader who attended the Kelowna session said even winery operators aren’t thrilled about the proposal to enlarge retail space and allow sales of wine or beer not made on site. He said “not one” participant there liked the idea of increasing industrial activity such as food processing or retailing. And he agreed with Popham that the ALC is doing a good job with subdivision applications. Popham also clarified the situation with the leased craft gin distillery on her own Vancouver Island farm. It started as a winery, and the conversion needed only local government approval because the production facility was already considered and taxed as light industrial. Victoria Gin has been a model for the government’s push to allow distilleries, breweries or meaderies on farmland. Given the B.C. Liberals’ love of liberalized liquor, I expect that change to go through. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca
It’s amazing what a little ice and a pail of water can do for charity. Over the past month, millions have been raised around the world for the ALS Society, the organization that hopes to find a cure for what is commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. The society has benefitted enormously from a global, viral ice bucket challenge involving celebrities and regular everyday people. Somebody challenges someone to douse themselves with a bucket of ice water and donate to ALS. A video of the event is then posted on social media. It’s been a win-win for everyone involved, not to mention a lot of fun. Congratulations to all involved. However, it should also be noted that other charities could use a boost at this time as Vernon Salvation Army food bank shelves and coffers have again dwindled to the bare minimum. “We’re out of rice, cereal, canned veggies, canned fruit, pasta, pasta sauce and brown beans,” stated Salvation Army community ministries director David MacBain. The B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive collection week is slated for Sept. 8 to 13 in Vernon with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints organizing the drive with the help of Rotarians. Bags will be left on door steps for residents to fill with non-perishable items, then place on their doorsteps to be collected by volunteers. Beyond Vernon, summer is also a time when resources decrease at the food banks in Armstrong, Enderby, Lumby and Lake Country, and yet demand also remains constant as residents struggle in today’s economic climate. All charities, of course, deserve recognition and the community’s support, and the food bank is certainly no exception. They provide a beneficial service to those who experience challenge providing for themselves, and they’re asking for help. Those they assist may be a neighbour, co-worker or loved one. It may be you some time in the future.

Policy change is in order
or more than a century, tennis players have competed in the Okanagan Valley Labour Day Tennis Championships. The 102nd tournament took place last year, and as always, drew both local and out-oftown players keen to compete in this multi-levelled amateur competition. The Kalamalka Country Club hosts the event, open to all tennis players, generously making its three courts available as well as running the event with a team of volunteers. KCC pays a considerable amount of money to Greater Vernon Recreation Services to rent additional courts at Kalvista and Kalamalka Secondary in order to accommodate the large number of matches which take place over four days. This year, the Kalamalka Country Club is unable to host the event as its courts will be rendered unplayable due to an upcoming revitalization project, expected to be completed by April 2015. A notice was sent out to tennis players explaining the reason for the cancellation of this historic event, disappointing a number of tennis enthusiasts who look forward to the annual competition. A sheer love of tennis combined with an understanding of the socioeconomic benefits of the tournament prompted a discussion to determine if a tournament could still be hosted in Vernon that long weekend, albeit on a smaller scale. After all, the City of Vernon has some beautiful tennis courts available for public play, and this tournament is an open event. Studies have examined the benefits of sport participation and conclude that all levels of government have good reason to lend support to sport participation through policies, performance, investment and research. Benefits include, but are not limited to, the areas of health, social cohesion, skills and economic impact. Greater Vernon Recreation Services states the importance of “find(ing) a way to make play and physical activity part of your daily life.” In this context, it is difficult to understand the policy of Greater Vernon Recreation Services of charg-

ing for court bookings. It is virtually impossible to absorb the cost of court reservations when recreation services charge almost $7 per hour per court. The cost of reserving six courts (Marshall Fields and Paddlewheel Park) is about $42 per hour. If matches extend to evening hours and require lights, tokens must be purchased in advance from the recreation complex at a cost of $5 plus tax per hour (for two courts). So, in the evening, the cost of renting four courts is about $40 per hour. Remember, the running of the tournament is being done by volunteers. Greater Vernon Recreation Services is simply taking the reservation. These are courts that are available for public play at no cost during daylight hours. In the evening, tennis players must have purchased a token in advance. Visitors to Vernon are literally left in the dark because they are unaware of the token system until they arrive at the courts. Tennis players in Winfield, Kelowna and other communities simply push a button to turn on their lights. The cost of reserving the courts for three or four days is astronomical, and dissuades participation either through exorbitant entry fees (for playing at a location that offers only a porta-potty in the way of facilities) or by discouraging any eager volunteers from running a tournament for fear of their own out-of-pocket losses.
Kamloops, Burnaby, New Westminster, Surrey and Nelson, as well as other municipalities, provide their public courts and lights free of charge for open tournaments (both sanctioned and non-sanctioned by Tennis B.C.). Some of these tournaments extend over several weekdays and weekends, both daytime and evening. By drawing attention to what other municipalities provide, and emphasizing the socio-economic benefits of tournaments taking place in Vernon, one hopes that Greater Vernon Recreation Services will revisit the policy of charging such high fees for court reservations. This practice is making it extremely difficult to run tennis tournaments. Taxpayers and sports enthusiasts deserve much better. In a discussion with Mayor Rob Sawatzky, he explained that there is no mechanism currently in place to change the policy of charging these fees for court reservations. In order to do that, a presentation to city council was recommended, and drawing this to the public’s attention by taking our concerns to the media, was discouraged. The residents of Vernon need to be aware of the policies of recreation services, and lend their voices to affect change so that our recreation facilities are optimally used, and that competitive sport can thrive without unnecessary expense and bureaucracy.
As an aside, any extra money resulting from this tournament (should the court reservation fees been waived or reduced to avoid losses) would have been donated to school programs which provide breakfast to children in need. The 103rd annual Okanagan Valley Labour Day Tennis Championships should not have had to wait until 2015 to take place. Greater Vernon Recreation Services should support tennis tournaments and amateur competition by significantly reducing or eliminating the reservation fees currently demanded for public tennis courts and lights. Due to the financial commitment to reserve courts, however, the tournament will have to wait until next year to take place again. The costs are simply too high when public courts are required for all the matches. The City of Vernon needs to seriously consider its position with respect to the support of organized sports and competition. Kamloops is known as the tournament capital of Canada. It would be worthwhile to learn from them so that Vernon attracts competitors, boosts tourism, injects dollars into the economy and promotes health and wellness through sport. With the new athletic facilities being built adjacent to Okanagan College, it will be interesting to see what our representatives do to facilitate optimal use of an expensive project when existing sports facilities are under utilized due to policies that prevent volunteers from organizing tournaments. What are other sport groups experiencing with Greater Vernon Recreation Services and the City of Vernon? We need to work together to determine what policies promote sport and the use of the facilities, and what needs to be changed so a tournament that has happened for more than a century doesn’t have to be cancelled because of unreasonable reservation rates for public tennis courts and lights. Joe McFadden, Vernon Labour Day Open director/co-ordinator
great shOw I would like to congratulate the organizers and all of the participants of the Okanagan MIlitary Tattoo in Vernon. It was a great show that was well run and all of Vernon should be proud as I was that they were able to present something of this quality and price in our city. All I can say is for those of you who missed it, there is always next year. Les Parsons

Ford, John Hector
Loss of school bus fuels concern The Vernon School District re-design includes discontinuation of two stops: at Aberdeen Road and Venables Drive, and Aberdeen before the railroad crossing. It’s one of several discontinued stops throughout the district. “My guess is it’s for (cost) savings,” said Coun. Gyula Kiss. “But it’s not saving lives.” Local parents would like to see some safety improvements made to the road. “Now is the time to make it safer for our children,” said Crawford, who also alerted council to provincial funding available to expand cycling trails. But the district is already eager to see safety improvements along Aberdeen, especially when it comes to speed. A speed reader board has been erected on the road for several weeks to make drivers aware of their speeds.

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of our much loved father, grandfather and great grandfather, John Hector Ford. John passed away peacefully on August 22nd, 2014 in Ashcroft at the age of 82 years. John was predeceased by his wife Elizabeth in 1992, and his brother Don several years ago. He is survived by his one daughter and five sons, and their families. John moved to Ashcroft from Northern Alberta in 2010 to be closer to his family. He was a rancher for most of his life, having farmed over the years in the Armstrong area, Merritt, and in Alberta. He was a longtime member and supporter of the CSSM Churches, and had also participated in many local farm fairs and 4H events over the years. He had a great love of horses, especially Clydesdales, and enjoyed all aspects or caring for them. He had a great enthusiasm for riding. The last few years had been difficult for John as he struggled with Alzheimer’s disease. He went into care in Kamloops in August 2013, and was then moved to Jackson House in Ashcroft in May of 2014. The care he received during this time has been exceptional. The family would like to send a heartfelt thanks to the doctors and staff who have been involved this last while in assisting John. Visitation for John will be held from 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM on Wednesday, August 27th from the chapel of Thompson Valley Funeral Home Ltd. In Ashcroft. Funeral Services will follow at 10:00 AM on Thursday, August 28th from the Sage Hills Evangelical Free Church in Ashcroft with a reception after in the church lower auditorium. Burial will take place that afternoon at the Hullcar Cemetery in Enderby. Donations in memory of John may be made to the CSSM “One Hope” Bible Camps – General Camps 189 Henderson Hwy.

The school district’s decision to cut out Aberdeen Road bus stops leaves 50 children in harm’s way, according to parents. Nichoel Crawford says that’s how many children use the Aberdeen Road bus stops, which were cut from the school Gyula Kiss bus schedule for the upcoming school year. “We feel with the current road conditions, this is a recipe for disaster,” Crawford told Coldstream council Monday in hopes some safety concerns could be addressed on the road.
Coldstream Ranch seeks expansion of gravel pit Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
A Lavington gravel pit is digging for support for further extraction. Coldstream Ranch’s Rosebush pit is applying to the Agricultural Land Commission to extend extraction closer to Buchanan Road,

which is the final phase in the extraction and reclamation plan. Gravel removal is planned from October to April, with reclamation to follow. “Quite a lot of phase four will be completed with topsoil by the fall of 2015,” said Ted Osborn, Coldstream Ranch’s director of projects. Osborn adds that reclamation of a signifi-
cant part of phase three could be completed by the fall of 2016, with the entire area reclaimed by the fall of 2017. “The reclamation of phase two and three will depend on the rate of sales of the processed aggregate.” Although the municipality has agreed to forward the ranch’s application to the ALC, with several conditions, there are some concerns
about the proximity of work to neighbouring residents. “This brings it to within 15 metres of the road,” said Coun. Maria Besso, the lone opposition to the application. Osborn says a berm of gravel will be created to help block noise and dust. He also says timing of the work will not disturb as many people. “The time from October to April is the time when people are not outside their houses as often.” Meanwhile, Coun.

Peter McClean is pleased to see an end date on the extraction and reclamation, which was up in the air during phase three. “We’re now getting, for phase four, a completion date and that was a concern before,” said McClean. Osborn says: “In the past, it’s been very slow moving but since it’s getting shallower and shallower we’re moving much quicker.” The application still needs ALC approval before phase four extraction can start.

There are also plans to increase RCMP patrols along this and other roads immediately. Coldstream will also be looking into posting some signage, painting crosswalks and adding lighting. Those options will be evaluated by staff and brought back for a future meeting, where parents will be invited. “I also think we need to develop a long-term plan,” said Coun. Maria Besso, as widening the existing bike lanes would be costly. Meanwhile, Coun. Peter McClean says council needs to investigate these bus stop changes. “I think the first thing we need to do as a council is find out the rationale and reasoning for this bus change,” said McClean. “We are putting a whole bunch of kids at risk.”

Amy Kermociev, farm co-ordinator, discusses the variety of activities that occur at Patchwork Community Farms Wednesday. Kindale, which operates the farm, received $27,000 from the provincial government to hire two employees to co-ordinate the operation.
Careers bloom at garden Career skills and food security are taking root. The provincial government is providing the Kindale Developmental Association with $27,000 to hire two people to work at the Patchwork Community Farms at Okanagan College in Coldstream. “This is my dream job,” said Amy Kermociev, who has been hired as a farm co-ordinator along with William Adams. “It allows me to use abilities and knowledge that I already have and to build new skills through the experiences incorporated into this project. The farm will provide Kermociev and Adams with work experience in urban agriculture, program development, marketing and event hosting over 32 weeks. Patchwork Farms is administered by Kindale and community partners. The produce grown at the site is shared between residents who volunteer there and organizations such as Kindale, the Canadian Mental Health Association, the Upper Room Mission, Transition House and the Salvation Army. “People are learning again how to farm,” said B Elliott, Kindale executive director. “It’s from seed to table and people are learning how to preserve food for over winter.” Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, supports Patchwork Farms. “Urban gardening has become a big deal,” he said, adding that while it provides participants with fresh produce, it also plays a role in the local
economy. “We don’t have programs for people to become farmers and this is a great way for people to start. Maybe we can encourage young people to stay on the family farm and make a good living from it.”

According to bcparentinfo.ca, “most payments will be processed within 30 days after the month in which the labour disruption ends.” “These parents, how are they supposed to come up with that money (in the meantime) to pay for childcare?” asks Morrical. “What if this thing goes on a month?” That impacts local daycares trying to accommodate parents, filtering down to impacts on local businesses as some parents are forced to stay home with their kids, and in turn impacts the economy, said Morrical. Along with these and older kids being impacted, there are other students that are feeling the effects. “There’s all these foreign students coming into the country expecting to go to school next week,” said Morrical.

Morning Star Staff
Family, friends and co-workers are teaming up to fight Parkinson’s with a special power hope. Community heroes will take part in the 19th annual Parkinson SuperWalk Sept. 6 at
AUG 1 - SEPT 28
10:30 a.m. at Polson Park. A strong community is at the heart of Parkinson SuperWalk’s success in Vernon. Local resident Barb Gullett was diagnosed with Parkinson’s three years ago, but she hasn’t let the disease impact her determined spirit. Last year, while recovering from a broken hip, she decided to register for SuperWalk. She rode in a wheelchair, pushed by family, and ended up raising more than $2,000! “Even people that we didn’t know were there,” said Gullett. “It gave me hope. I loved it and felt very special.” Friends and family will join Gullett again this year to walk together for a cause that’s dear to them. “The community support is humbling, to say the least, and wonderful at the same time, to know so many care

for you,” said Gullett. “Many people feel alone with this disease, so I encourage everyone to come and join us, with their loved ones, to show support and build awareness for Parkinson’s.” Participants can register for the event by visiting www.parkinson.bc.ca. Rhona Parsons, a fitness health and wellness educator, has taken a special interest in Parkinson’s disease and teaches a twice weekly exercise class specifically for those living with the challenges Parkison’s brings. “Rhona is an energetic advocate and will once again facilitate the Parkinson SuperWalk,”
said local organizer Nel Friesen. The Vernon event will also feature the Taoist Tai Chi Society, putting on a special demonstration during registration (at 9:30 a.m.) prior to the walk beginning. There will be items to bid on with a silent auction and the unique sound off of the bagpipe will lead participants into the SuperWalk. Pre-registration is also available online at www.parkinsonsuperwalk.ca Participants can register as an individual or as a team and the walk accommodates those who need a walker or wheelchair to participate.
Pledge forms can be picked up at Fitness Maxx (2- 5400 24th St.). The Vernon Parkinson support group meets at 1 p.m. at the People Place on the third Thursday of the month (with a few exceptions). Because of the SuperWalk, the next meeting will take place Oct. 16. “Parkinson’s is one of the most common neurological disorders that affect people mainly over the age of 55 with more and more being diagnosed at a younger age,” said Friesen. “There is no cure. It is a slow, progressive, debilitating disease with some of the characteristics being muscle rigidity, decrease in postural stability and balance, tremors, fatigue and more.” For more information, questions, or assistance, call Parsons at 250-308-8616 or Friesen at 250-5491580.

barb brouwer Black Press
Columbia Shuswap Regional District director Rene Talbot is hoping to resume his seat at the board table following the November election. Talbot, director for Falkland, said he hadn’t planned on running again but says he has had several requests to remain on the board. “My wife laid down the law and said ‘you have to run again,’” he says, noting he will seek re-election. “A number of people she knows have told her ‘he has to stay on the board,’ and she is in favour of it.” Talbot says he will run for office just one more time and would use the new four-year term to work on several projects he has been involved in. “I want to see completion of the agricultural strategy and plan for the regional district’s large number of dairy farms, cattle ranches and veggies,” he says. “Area D has the biggest farming area in CSRD.” Other matters on Talbot’s mind are water quality, transit and policing. Talbot, who has been a director since 2002, sits on the Electoral Area Directors Committee, Fraser Basin Council, Milfoil Control Planning Committee, North Okanagan/ Columbia Shuswap Regional Hospital District, Shuswap Economic Development Commission, Shuswap Tourism Committee, and the Shuswap Watershed Water Quality Program.

Tardis journey wraps up Morning Star Staff
The tardis has found a permanent home. Since February, as part of the JCI Hospital Gala, a replica of the police call box from Doctor Who has been appearing all over the North Okanagan. “Project Blue Box was one of the items auctioned off in April at the gala and it raised $1,000,” said Wil Munton, who developed the tardis. “Oddly enough, the Blue Box was won by a local doctor.” But the project was also part of a seven-month treasure hunt. With the support of Century 21 and the Best Western Vernon Lodge, contestants searched for the Blue Box’s key. Each appearance of the Blue Box held a clue as to where the key might be found. The mystery was solved by Nikki Zak, Charlotte Grigg and Jan Mol. The clue to the solution was on the door of the Blue Box, a St. John Ambulance crest that was altered at each of the locations the Blue Box was at. All three deduced that the key’s location must be the St. John Ambulance building in Vernon. The three correct puzzle solvers were then invited to draw for the Best Western prize. Mol drew the winning envelope. You can follow the last seven months of the project at www.facebook.com/ groups/1442790235954948/.

Gators geared for slo-pitch provincials TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff
The Whitehouse Mortgage Gators are ready to take a chomp out of the Women’s Slo-Pitch C Provincials this weekend. “I think it would be really great for us to have a good showing in Vernon because we are the only team from here in the provincials,” said player/manager Michelle Embleton who has been with the team since 2001. “It should be a really good weekend.” Longtime Gator outfielder Jenn Thatcher is stoked for the tournament. “I’m super excited for provincials. We are ready to compete and play our best against teams from all over,” said Thatcher. Thatcher bats and throws right-handed, and like a few other players on the team, has been a Gator for several years. “We have had a good core group for a while. People retire and hang them up, but we always get good players to come and fill in for their spots,” said Thatcher who has been a Gator since 2007. Embleton claims that a third of her roster has been intact for a while. A group of players decided to call it quits after winning the B Nationals in Calgary in 2010. “Some of the girls wanted to retire on top. We have 18 girls on the roster now, most are fairly new,” said Embleton. The Gators, who finished second in the Vernon
Women’s Slo-Pitch League, are looking to bounce back from a sub-par performance at the B provincials in Kamloops three years ago. It’s a double-elimination bracket with a pair of round robin games. The Gators take on Skyline at 10:20 a.m. Saturday morning at DND #4, and will battle BTN at 3:40 p.m. at DND #1. The elimination games begin 8 a.m. Sunday morning. “We beat BTN in the qualifying tournament in Kelowna, but the teams change so much, we don’t expect them to be the same team as last time,” said Thatcher. “We are a tournament team. We have fun, bond and are looking to have a good showing this weekend.” The winner will advance to the C Nationals next summer in Niagara Falls, Ont. Other Gators include: player/coach Linda Castonguay, Taryn Robertson, Tiffany Disher, Kate Carter, Melissa Locke, Jen Doyle, Pam Betton, Shelly Ouellette, Terri-Rose Thompson, Jessica Hallam, Brittany Housego, Jen Ternier, Belinda Marks, Courtney Bissell, Leigha Stenhouse, Shaina McGiverin and coach Mike Burke. On the men’s side, the Vernon Dodgers are playing in the D Division and will battle the Black Sox at 9 a.m. Saturday on DND #5. Their second round robin game goes at 3:40 p.m. against the Mayhem. Vernon will also be hosting Women’s B, and D provincials, along with Men’s B, C, and E tourneys.

Connie Kapak stands with her father Pete out front of Monashee’s Bar & Grill Wednesday afternoon after a fundraiser to help support Connie’s training.
Connie Kapak is packing up her life and heading east to follow her passion of speed skating. Accompanied by her father Pete, the Kapaks move to Calgary on Monday. “We decided at the beginning of last season that her level would not work in this area. We had to get her to a higher level of competition,” said Pete. Connie, 15, grew up in Vernon, attended VSS and trained with the Vernon Speed Skating Club. One thing she’ll treasure is the life-long friendships she made. “I have the best friends anyone can ask for and I’m going to miss them a lot,” said Connie. “The other day one of them brought a framed picture of all of us with some memories written down the side.” Connie started skating about the same time she learned how to walk. “I just want to thank Peter Blokker for allowing a three-year-old into the club (Vernon Speed Skating club) and Nancy Goplen for letting us train in Kelowna the past three years,” said Pete, who is 67 and has three boys older than Connie, all with their own families. Connie stands five-foot-five and has spent the
summer training at Kal Fitness and the gym at the Vernon Rec Centre. She will now attend Sir Winston Churchill and train at the Olympic Oval located on the University of Calgary campus. The oval will provide her a greater training facility and more competitions and time trial events. “If I had to choose, I would say I like shorttrack speed skating better. But I like to train for long-track and compete in it as well,” said Connie. Connie owns seven provincial short-track titles, four provincial long-track titles and three Western Canadian championships. She was named North Okanagan Athlete of the year in 2012. Growing up, she was in awe of the dominating performances by Canadian Olympians Cindy Klassen and Clara Hughes. The Olympics might be a goal of hers down the road, but she is focusing one year at a time for now. “It would be great to go to the Olympics one day, but I just want to compete well over the next few years and go to university and see how that goes,” said Connie. A fund-raiser was held at Monashee’s Bar & Grill on Wednesday and raised $1,127 from sales and donations towards Connie’s training.

Vancouver Whitecaps forward Omar Salgado (left) and club coach and goodwill ambassador Carl Valentine answer questions from enthusiastic campers during day one of the Vancouver Whitecaps Play Like A Pro soccer camp Monday at Marshall Field. “Being here today brings back a lot of memories, about being nervous on the first day of camp then being happy by the end of camp.” While Monday was his firstever stop in Vernon, Salgado has appeared at numerous camps in the Lower Mainland. He was impressed by what he saw at Marshall Field. “The skill levels are quite good,” he said. “I feel like there are couple of kids here who could play in a residency program in Vancouver.” Valentine, meanwhile, is no stranger to Vernon. Arguably one of the most popular players in team franchise history, the Manchester, England native has been to Vernon many times over the years, and says these kind of camps keep him young at age 56. “I got up this morning at 4:30 and I was hurting but I knew what it meant to the kids,” smiled Valentine. “It excites me to be able to do this for all of these kids.
“The camp promotes dreams. I’ll ask the kids who wants to be a professional player and most of their hands go up. That’s not realistic. But it’s realistic to have goals and dreams. To see someone like Omar drafted at the age of 16 and is now a pro helps them on their journey.” Like most of the players on the team, Mondays are the only day off for Salgado, and the only time the Whitecaps can send a player to a camp like the one in Vernon. Valentine calls it a ‘win-win situation’ for everybody. “The players are asked if they would come up, and they’re thankful to give back something to the community,” he said. “It’s important as a club, as a legacy. We try to teach our players it’s important we grow the game, that we’re in the community. If you do that, you’ll create fans for life. The players have been fantastic. They have really engaged and become involved in these

type of camps.” Valentine has been in B.C. and Canada for more than 30 years, helping the Whitecaps win the Soccer Bowl in the old North American Soccer League in 1979, the Vancouver 86ers capture four straight Canadian Soccer League titles in the 1980s and played 31 times for Canada, helping the national squad qualify for its only World Cup appearance in 1986. Around the province, he said, the love for soccer continues to grow. “The Whitecaps brand is growing and, more important, it generates that passion for the game,” said Valentine. “You see the kids out here playing, there’s a great coaching staff we have here. “It does encourage the kids to go out and play the game on their own, the way I grew up, just getting a ball, kicking it around and having fun.” The Whitecaps camp wraps up today.

The question asked of Vancouver Whitecaps forward Omar Salgado was succinct and to the point, the result of what was seen by millions of soccer fans in June and July during the World Cup in Brazil: Do you ever fake an injury on the pitch? After a chuckle from both Salgado and longtime Whitecaps player-turnedgoodwill ambassador Carl Valentine, Salgado looked directly at the relatively young, strawberry blond question asker – one of many attending the week-long Vancouver Whitecaps Play Like A Pro camp at Marshall Field – and gave an honest, sincere answer. “When I was your age, I maybe did,” smiled the 20-year-old native of El Paso, Tex. “But not anymore.” Salgado attended day one of the camp for kids aged six to 14 and answered all kinds of questions from favourite player (James Rodriguez, star for Uruguay and now Real Madrid) to favourite friend on the Whitecaps (Nico Mezquida) to pre-game meal (pasta and chicken) to favourite video game (“I don’t really play video games but when I do, it’s FIFA and I’m not very good at it”). The Whitecaps’ first round pick as a 16-year-old in the 2011 Major League Soccer Super Draft, Salgado has appeared in eight games for Vancouver this season, starting twice. He grew up watching and learning the game from the United Soccer League’s El Paso Patriots, and was a regular attendee at summer soccer camps. “I started playing when I was three, and began going to the camps when I was about five,” said Salgado. “My dad loved soccer and he pushed me into the game.

Dodds goal secures UBCO victory Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Kirsten Dodds scored once to lead UBC Okanagan Heat to a 2-0 exhibition women’s soccer win in Calgary against the Mount Royal Cougars. The Heat split their quick jaunt to Alberta, losing 3-0 to the Calgary Dinos. “It was another good road trip for the team,” said UBCO head coach Claire Paterson. “We definitely saw improvements from our first weekend of exhibition play as the players are now getting more comfortable with each other and the style we want to play.” A few of the Heat’s freshmen came up big in the game against the host Mount Royal Cougars on Saturday evening, as first-year striker from Kelowna, Courtney Hemmerling, notched her first goal in a Heat uniform. Hemmerling’s goal and the 90-minute shutout posted by freshman keeper Francesca Balletta (Burnaby) drove UBC Okanagan to the win over the Cougars. Dodds, a senior forward, scored the other goal. “We played well on Saturday versus Mount Royal, maintaining possession and creating several solid goal scoring opportunities,” said Paterson. “We managed to finally put two away in the second half which was out of sheer hard
work and we claimed our first victory and shutout his season.” The Heat then stared down a veteran Canada West squad in the Calgary Dinos, who overcame a persistent offensive assault from UBC Okanagan, and blanked the Heat 3-0. Paterson needed to mix and match with who was on the field with the quick turnaround in games. “Our second match, we had to juggle our lineup a bit from the previous match and test out some of our new players in different positions,” she said. “Calgary played well moving the ball quickly and pouncing on us when we got possession. A couple of errors on our part were punished but that is a very important lesson to learn as we move forward.” The Heat played host to Douglas College of North Vancouver in an exhibition game Thursday at Nonis Sports Field. Canada West action begins in Prince George Sept. 6 and 7, with the first league home game on Friday, Sept. 12 against Fraser Valley. The Thompson Rivers University WolfPack men’s squad visits Prince George this weekend for two Labour Day weekend exhibition games with the UNBC Timberwolves. The Pack, whose lineup

ing times of the year. Players show up eager, wanting to please us,” said Vipers GM/head coach Jason Williamson. “There is lots of turnover this year, so this one should be exciting.” There will be plenty of roster spots available this season, as the Vipers saw 15 of last year’s skaters leave for college or graduate from the program. Players from all over
North America will descend on Kal Tire Place. Invitations went out to players from Boston, Te x a s , Ont ar io, Alberta and all over B.C., including local products Jagger Williamson, Tristian Quiring, Nick Higgs and Kenny Batke. “Hopefully we come to a set roster by mid-September,” said Williamson.
Camp begins with practice at 9 a.m. In the afternoon, the group will be randomly split up into four teams with games at 3 and 5 p.m. “We are putting the teams together and we are gonna let them figure the game out,” explained Williamson. The Vipers welcome new assistant coach and Stanley Cup champion Eric Godard behind the bench for camp. “He has played at the highest level possible, the kids are going
to relate to that and listen to what he has to say,” said Williamson. The Vipers will skate Saturday morning, then host the Penticton Vees in an exhibition match at 5 p.m. at Kal Tire Place. Sunday, the snakes will be split up into teams for individual skate sessions. The Blue allstars will scrimmage the White all-stars Monday at 11 a.m. The practices and scrimmages are free to the public.
Victoria pros battle for PGA championship Morning Star Staff
Spallumcheen golf pro Myles Johnston shot a second consecutive 4-over 76 to finish in a tie for 33rd at the 2014 Titleist/ Footjoy PGA of B.C. golf championship at Vancouver’s Point Grey Golf and Country Club. Johnston’s 36-hole total of 8-over 152 left him 12 shots back of the winner, Gordy Scutt from Victoria’s Olympic
View Golf Course. Scutt won the championship by sinking a 12-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole to beat Lindsay Bernakevitch of the Victoria Golf Club. Both golfers finished at 2-under 140, one shot ahead of Bryn Parry and Oliver Tubb, both from North Vancouver’s Seymour Creek Golf Course. Bernakevitch shot the low
round of the final day, a 5-under 67. Scutt secured his spot in the playoff with a 3-under 69. First round leader Kevin Maxwell of Olympic View struggled to a 3-over 75 and finished five shots behind his fellow Victoria golfers. Top Okanagan finisher was Dean Claggett of West Kelowna’s Two Eagles Golf Course at 4-over 148, good for 11th spot.

Sunday marks International Overdose Awareness day and Vernon is not without a plan. There were 308 illicit drug overdoses in B.C. in 2013, the majority of those included opioids. Opioids, such as heroin, oxycodone, fentanyl, morphine and methadone, suppress breathing, and in cases of overdose, can result in brain damage or even death from oxygen deprivation. However, overdose does not just occur in people taking illicit opioids but also those taking prescription pills as well. Canada is the world’s second highest consumer of prescribed opioids and with that come the complications and harms associated with overdose. In 2008, a harm reduction action team was created from Social
Planning’s Partners in Action in Vernon. The action team committed to a year long process of creating a communitybased strategy for harm reduction. This included hosting a series of community meetings including an initial consultation, a series of focus groups and a final strategy session. Out of this strategy came the implementation of services such as Gateway Shelter for men and women, greater access to harm reduction supplies from a number of distribution sites, a low-barrier walk-in clinic, and preventative education to high risk youth. As the strategy evolved, overdose was identified as an area requiring further intervention. The region itself was facing high numbers of opioid overdose deaths — not only illicit use but also people pre-
scribed opioids for pain management. Vernon jumped on board with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control’s new program Take Home Naloxone (THN) as the first site outside of Vancouver to offer overdose prevention. In 2012, through a process of community engagements, the Cammy LaFleur Street Outreach Program adopted the new program for the strategy. With naloxone training and prevention education, unintentional deaths from opioid overdose are preventable. Naloxone (also known as narcan) is an antidote to an opioid overdose. It is a safe, prescription only medication that reverses the effects of opioids on the body. In the event of an overdose, naloxone restores normal breathing within 2-5 minutes

of administration, but the effects wear off in 30 to 90 minutes. Naloxone cannot be abused, as it has no effect on the body in the absence of opioids. It’s simple, straight forward, and easy to do. In Vernon, opioid users are trained by the street nurse on how to recognize an overdose and when to use naloxone. Downtown Primary Care and the Vernon Methadone Clinic joined on as partners and prescribers for the program and it officially launched with the first prescription in November of 2012. Since that time the program has prescribed 95 kits in total with 30 kits reported used. That’s 30 lives in Vernon potentially saved. The THN program advocates for people who are at risk of overdose to get trained and get a prescription for naloxone. This includes people using high dose opioids, people on methadone, people living in rural and remote areas and those with known cardiac, respiratory, or kidney disease. Research shows that teaching about and discussing overdose actually reduces the likelihood of it occurring. The Cammy LaFleur Street Outreach Program and its community partners value the THN program as part of a continuum of care that is multi-faceted and seeks to address the many issues that are faced by people who use drugs. The majority of overdoses happen in the company of others and having naloxone available provides an opportunity to save a life and reduce harms while waiting for paramedics to arrive. If you are interested in learning more about Take Home Naloxone, visit www.towardtheheart.com for a provincial snapshot of what is being done.

Proposed ICBC rate hike equivalent to $40 increase The Insurance Corporation of B.C. is asking regulators to approve a 5.2 per cent increase in basic auto insurance rates. The public auto insurer said the rate hike would cost the average customer an extra $40 per year if approved by the B.C. Utilities Commission. The rate hike is to take effect Nov. 1 on an interim basis while the BCUC reviews the application. A previously approved 5.2 per cent rate hike that took effect in 2013-14 means drivers will soon be paying 10.4 per cent more than they did in 2012 for basic coverage. ICBC blamed the latest increase on a continued rise in injury claims costs paid to crash victims for pain and suffering, future care and lost wages. Bodily injury claims hit $1.9 billion in 2013, up $73 million from 2012 and by more than $500 million from five years earlier. Legal and medical costs are also up. Drivers’ rapidly growing use of cellphones and other personal electronic devices behind the wheel is one of the factors ICBC cited for the rise in injury claims. Distracted driving is the second leading cause of fatal car crashes in B.C. – killing 88 people a year – and is the leading cause of rearend crashes that often cause injuries, spokesman Adam Grossman said. A new campaign against distracted driving is to roll out in September. Grossman was unable to provide details justifying why basic rates should be 10.4 per cent higher than 2012 when the injury claim cost increase from 2012 to 2013 was only four per cent. The full rate hike application is to be filed Friday. C o n s u m e r s Association of Canada president Bruce Cran said it continues a pattern of steeper increases in basic rates on which
ICBC has a monopoly but more restraint on optional coverage rates
where it must compete. He also took aim at the provincial govern-
ment’s continued raiding of ICBC coffers for general revenue.
The province has budgeted to pull $200 million from ICBC this

A plan has been developed to meet the needs of parents and their kids for the duration of job action. “The hours of operation of Boys and Girls Clubs programs will be extended for school age children and fullday programs will be offered,” said Diane Entwistle, chief executive officer. “The ability to provide extended and increased programs will depend on staffing and program/facility capacity.” The Okanagan Boys and Girls Club has facilities in Vernon, Armstrong and Lake Country.

Centre has shows from A to Q this season Vernon Performing Arts Centre brings in the best in theatre, comedy, dance, music, books... Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
From a performance by three of B.C.’s most respected musicians, to a troupe of male Brazilian dancers, to a trip down Broadway’s Avenue Q, the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Society is aptly celebrating lucky number 13 with music, theatre, dance, comedic and children’s acts, and even a book smack, to keep everyone culturally fulfilled this season. The centre is expecting a full house for this year’s big theatre presentation, Broadway’s huge hit Avenue Q, taking the stage Nov. 6. Presented by Vancouver’s Arts Club Theatre, the show is definitely for adults as it features full-on puppet nudity (which is not that strange a concept in the theatre world these days. Anyone see The Erotic Anguish of Don Juan from a few years ago?) and dark humour, says Erin Kennedy, the Performing Arts Centre’s artistic director. “It’s described as Sesame Street for adults, and is a coming-of-age story that is irreverently witty. It beat out Wicked for Best Musical (at the 2004 Tony awards),” said Kennedy. Another sure-to-be popular show is the centre’s 13th annual Birthday Bash Sept. 28, featuring Canadian and B.C. music legends, Barney Bentall, Jim Byrnes and John Mann (of Spirit of the West fame.) Those who love music in a more intimate cabaret-style setting will want to check out the PAC’s on-stage concert series, which returns for a third successful year after sold-out performances by Royal Wood as well as Del Barber and Oh My Darling last year. This year’s offerings include the gritty blues sounds of Vancouver duo The Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer, Oct. 5, as well as up-and coming Afro-Cuban/jazz artist Patricia Cano, May 1 (2015). “(Cano) sings in English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish,” said Kennedy. “She gives a powerful performance. She literally kicks off her shoes and radiates off the stage.” For those who have more classical tastes, the PAC society is returning with Morning Melodies, a subscriber series of four daytime concerts, hosted by Vancouver pianist Sarah Hagen, featuring top-notch Canadian chamber musicians. Cellist Rebecca Wenham kicks off the series Oct. 7 in the centre’s Marie Fleming Hall.

Vancouver’s Arts Club Theatre Company triumphantly returns to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Nov. 6 with their racy production of Avenue Q. The puppet show is just for adults. Those wishing to laugh off the doldrums have a couple of comedians to hang out with this season. Described as “one of the funniest guys around,” by The National Post, British comedian Chris Gibbs is at the centre Oct. 3 with his show, Like Father, Like Son? Sorry. “It’s about him becoming a father. He’s been at Just for Laughs and the Winnipeg Comedy Festival and has that dry, clever wit,” said Kennedy. Back for its 11th year is the I am Woman! Hear me Laff annual celebration of International Women’s Day, March 8. This year’s headliner is none other than comedienne Erica Sigurdson. “She headlined the year that Nikki Payne got stuck in a snow storm and couldn’t make her show. Erica filled in at the last moment and had everyone in fits of laughter,” said Kennedy. Back to the theatre series, and apart from the craziness that is Avenue Q, the series starts with a beloved favourite. Presented by Kamloops’ Western Canada Theatre and Gananoque, Ont.’s Thousand Islands Playhouse, Driving Miss Daisy, Oct. 20, is the Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy that made Morgan Freeman a star in the film version (his first film role!) and follows the 25-year friendship between a stubborn matriarch and her proud chauffeur. Fans of CBC Radio will want to check out the original production of Debussy vs. Ravel
The Judgement of Paris, Jan. 25, which features veteran broadcaster Tom Allen, current host of CBC Radio 2’s Drive, and a band of respected Canadian musicians in the story of the two famed French composers trying to conquer Paris through their music. Another well-known voice, make that the man of many voices, writer-actor-producer Rick Miller, of MacHomer fame, returns to Vernon March 7 with his new solo show, Boom. “It’s a multi-media extravaganza that looks at 25 years of the time that shaped the baby boomers,” said Kennedy. “Rick embodies 25 characters in the show, which premiered at High Performance Rodeo in Calgary and was workshopped at Ex Machina, Robert Lepage’s studio in Montreál.” Capping off the series April 23 is a more avant-garde production, WonderHead’s Grim and Fischer, described as a deathly comedy where actors will wear the company’s awardwinning masks. This year’s dance season also offers music, spectacle and movement to fill every sense. It all starts Oct. 18 with Tango: Passion of a Lifetime, featuring two dancers in the passionate Argentine dance backed by the Romulo Larrea Ensemble and vocalist Veronica Larc. “It’s an enticing combination of traditional tango music and dance, with one pair of tango dancers slicing the air with their legs,” said
Kennedy. Other exciting dance performances include an original and said to be eerily beautiful production about the Romanian count with a taste for blood by Ballet Victoria. Dracula hits the stage Nov. 21. The Atlantic Ballet Theatre of Canada is bringing its original production based on the life and songs of French songstress Edith Piaf to the centre, Feb. 20. Kaha:Wi Dance Theatre’s TransMigration, which uses traditional and contemporary First Nations dance, music and design to tell the story of shaman artist Norval Morrisseau, stages March 28, and in an exciting assortment of hip hop, cirque, samba and exotic and erotic dance, 11 male dancers from Rio de Janeiro will be leaping across the stage in Käfig (Café) Brasil, April 14. Families are not being left out of the loop, with four fun shows in this year’s kids series. “Unlike the general admission seating we had last season, this year we are assigning seats so that everyone who buys a ticket to the series will be able to enjoy the show,” said Kennedy. The series starts with the beat-boxing string trio Infinitus and their From Handel to Hip -Hop concert, Oct. 4. Fans of children’s author/illustrator Eric Carle will want to get tickets/subscriptions early for Mermaid Theatre’s presentation of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and other Carle favourites told through puppets and props, Nov. 22. Vancouver’s Monster Theatre, who have performed A Christmas Carol and other classic stories at the PAC in the past, are back this time with a version of Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince, Jan. 17, while “Certified Lunatic and Master of the Impossible” children’s entertainer Tomàs Kubinek flies in March 1. A few days before the official start of the season with the Birthday Bash is a special event Sept. 26, where the VPAC society, along with the Vernon branch of the Okanagan Regional Library, will literally smack us with some literary offerings to celebrate Culture Days. The free event, to take place in the Performing Arts Centre’s foyer, will feature five book smackers (reference librarian Kristi Hennings, youth services librarian Stephanie Vollick, poets/authors Laisha Rosnau and John Lent, and storyteller Gabe Newman), who will each pitch any number of books in the span of one hour. The event is emceed by local teacher/director/actor Lana O’Brien. Tickets and subscriptions for all concerts and series are available at the Ticket Seller box office at the centre. Call 250-549-7469, or visit www. ticketseller.ca to order or for more information.

Style heavy, substance light, Josh Brolin gets gritty in Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.
More style over substance sin City: A Dame to Kill For
M
arv (Mickey Rourke) wants to protect Nancy (Jessica Alba) from Sin City’s mean streets. Nancy wants to avenge the murder of her father figure Hartigan (Bruce Willis) by killing the dirty Senator Roark (Powers Booth.) Dwight (Josh Brolin) just wants to get out of Sin City, but he can’t escape the clutches of money hungry Ava (Eva Green), who will do anything to get what she Taylor and Howe wants. It’s just an ordinary night in the latest episode of noir comic book film, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. We say, “It’s like a hot date that turns out to be a mistake in the morning.” TAYLOR: I wasn’t a huge fan of the first Sin City, a film adaptation of the Frank Miller graphic novels involving violent crime, sex and seediness. However, it was an extremely interesting film to look at (similar to the 300 movies, only more “cartoonish.”) I fear now that the novelty has worn off, but that’s not the only problem with A Dame to Kill For. This is a film that’s built solely from style and has very little recognizable substance. I have many, many complaints, but I’ll leave some of them for Peter. HOWE: I don’t agree with you that the novelty has worn off in how they are filmed and how they look. I loved the look of this film and 300. It’s just that when I watch them a second time, the story becomes disappointing and I feel tricked into liking something that wasn’t very good. One fault in the story I noticed involved time lines. We start off with one storyline, slip into another storyline that lasts two days, then slip back into the first storyline that is meant to be the original day. Confused? I was too. TAYLOR: I think it was a boring script and proofreaders were unable to find errors, because they too were lost. Anytime you have narration in a film (sorry to bring this up again), it’s weak. In this film the narration is a ridiculously redundant,

The
literal play by play, created solely to give the poetic grittiness a film noir deserves. Thus, the film is self-indulgent. I also disliked how all the main characters are weakly motivated. It’s like we’ve come to Sin City on bowling night. The stripper Nancy is drunk and daydreams about revenge she’s not going to get. Thug Marv doesn’t have a “job” and “really wishes he had some skulls to bust.” Dwight’s entire makeup is wishy washy. He wants to get out of town, knows that he has a hard time saying no to Ava, yet can’t stay away from her. And Ava, well, Ava’s just naked the whole time. She has only one weapon. HOWE: And why is every main guy in the movie doing Dark Knight impressions? It’s not like it’s just one or two of them, it’s all five. It seemed like a private joke between them all, to see who could do the best. Terrible. TAYLOR: This is a film that’s supposed to be titillating in its cliches, exciting in its exploitation and interesting in its execution. It fails quite miserably on all fronts, with the possible exception of style. Style can take you far, but it’s empty without substance. – Howe gives Sin City: A Dame to Kill For 2 gold marbles out of 5. – Taylor gives it 2 busted fingers out of 5. The film is currently playing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Arts Straight from The Hat terri Clark: Some Songs
W
hen y’all get sick and tired of the fluff and pretension of pop and the assorted hybrids of R&B and modern rock, there are people like Terri Clark that can offer an antidote. The Medicine Hat singer doesn’t Dean Gordon-Smith get carried away with Nashville gadgetry on her 10th album, Some Songs. Whether by design or just point of view, the record is a blunt and easy going dose of country rock without frills. With song titles like I Cheated on You and Better With My Boots On, Clark dispenses with pleasantries and cuts straight to the point. She’s in the same place as singers like Miranda Lambert, who mix the outlaw stance with irreverent humour and blunt language. It’s stupid and fun. Song Songs has a mid-range, confident sound and Clark never sounds like she’s pushing herself.
Street SoundS
BareTrack records/Universal MUsic canada
Medicine Hat’s own Terri Clark keeps it real on her 10th studio album, Some Songs. She twangs easily in a low-end frequency and the production and writing style is a singer/band effort, rather than a producer/vocalist project. Because of the “aw shucks” vibe, some tracks have a hint of cliché (Just Add Water), but the overall atmosphere is that of a good time, straight ahead mix of light rock and rough country. There is no eloquence or insights to be found on Some Songs, but Clark and her band have cranked up some tunes, found their track and rolled on.

Winning the war against diabetes Cara Brady Morning Star Staff
When Gerda Blokker was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in her early 20s, the life expectancy for her and others with the disease was not more than 40 years old, even with insulin treatment. Now 79, Blokker has beaten the odds and has taken part in a joint study with the Joslin Diabetes Centre, Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto and Harvard University to find what factors make the difference in leading a long and healthy life with type 1 diabetes. Blokker came from Holland in 1953 when she was 20 to marry Peter, who had emigrated before her. They lived in Northern B.C. for years, bringing up a family of one daughter and two sons. Even as a busy mother, Blokker kept up the regime of constant blood testing, insulin shots and carefully planned diet and exercise. She was diagnosed with celiac disease when she was in her 30s. “They asked me if I went through the war. What happened was the Germans took all the food, which was the soft wheat which we were used to and we got imported hard wheat from Canada, which apparently was a contributing factor. I find that diet helps me but I must be careful,” she said. The dual diagnosis meant that Blokker had to take even more care with her diet and do most of her own cooking and baking. Luckily, she said, it is now easier to get the non-additive and organic food she needs. Even now she must test her blood sugar level every two hours, getting up in the night to test. A new insulin pump, smaller than half her palm, which can be placed anywhere on her body, makes things easier, but Blokker must still be aware of what she eats and how exercise changes her insulin needs.
“Even people who do not have any diagnosis of a disease of any kind should think about how they can maintain and improve their health.” — Gerda Blokker “My best exercise is walking, but I was not able to walk for two years after an accident from 10 years ago started to cause problems. I had two operations last winter and they thought I might not walk again, but I am, up to an hour a day,” she said. “The doctors think I’m wonderful and they want to know how I keep going. I can’t tell any secrets. I do try hard but I find it a difficult life, thinking about it all the time, but there are many other interests.” Blokker does finishing quilting for the quilting group in her church, writes letters to a friend she met in kindergarten in Holland 75 years ago and has recently picked up correspondence with a high school friend from Holland, as well as keeping in touch with her five grandchildren. “I think it is very important that people with diabetes of any type realize that while there is treatment available, they must take a lot of responsibility and they will still be able to live a good life. If you are not exactly careful, a pump doesn’t make up for your sloppiness. People don’t understand the seriousness of diabetes and the complications. Even people who do not have any diagnosis of a disease of any kind should think about how they can maintain and improve their health by good diet and healthy habits and exercise.”

Smoke free outdoor bylaws protect communities
Submitted to The Morning Star
Enjoying a summer picnic at a local park recently, I was surprised to see someone toss their cigarette butt into the long grass at the edge of the road as they left. Grumbling, a fellow picnicker collected the butt from the grass and doused it. “I don’t know why smoking is allowed in this park,” she said, pointing up to the tinderdry forest stretching up the mountainside. “On a hot day like this, the whole place could go up in flames.” It’s true. Smoke free public places protect more than our health; they also reduce the risk of wildfire. Cigarettes cause fires every year in B.C., many starting in the interface between
communities and surrounding areas. Residents of the B.C. Interior became attuned to the risk of interface fires during the 2003 fire season. That year, fires destroyed 334 homes and businesses and forced the evacuation of 45,000 people. Although lightning was the major cause of the wildfires that year, smoker’s materials were also a significant contributor. In fact, a discarded cigarette ignited the McClure fire near Barriere, destroying 72 homes and nine businesses including the major employer in the area. Cigarettes continue to be a top cause of fire in the province, but we can change that. One important way to reduce the risk of

fire between communities and forested areas is to prohibit smoking in local parks and trails. Community trail systems are often located on the perimeter of the community, close to dry forests and grassland. Parks are also vulnerable to fire in hot summer weather. Park and trail users who smoke may not be aware of the damage their discarded cigarette can cause. Local governments can reduce fire risk with a smoke free outdoor bylaw that protects these vulnerable areas and the community. There is lots of support out there for smoke free outdoor bylaws. Eighty six per cent of British Columbians do not smoke so these bylaws align with our community norms. In one study, 93 per cent of non-smokers and 71
per cent of smokers agreed with restrictions on smoking in outdoor spaces and after the bylaw was implemented, support continued to increase. More than 40 local governments in B.C. have adopted bylaws that restrict smoking in outdoor public places such as parks, playgrounds and trail systems. For more information about creating smoke free environments in your community, contact the Interior Health Tobacco Reduction program at tobacco@interiorhealth.ca, or see Plan H Tobacco at: http://planh.ca/take-action/ healthy-people/page/tobacco-reduction – Trish Hill is a tobacco reduction coordinator with Interior Health.

Sadok continues Ukrainian tradition This summer, the Sadok Ukrainian Dance Ensemble performed at Western Canada’s 41st Ukrainian Pysanka Festival in Vegreville, Alta. This year’s festival was a celebration of the 200th year since the birth of Taras Shevchenko, the great Ukrainian poet and artist. In his poems, Shevchenko called upon his people to fight for their freedom and happiness. “I was thrilled to be a part of such a long-running Ukrainian Festival where many talented musicians and dancers performed from across the country,” said Sadok’s artistic director Andrea Malysh. The festival featured historic displays, including tracking your Ukrainian roots, one on various Ukrainian literature, and another on Canada’s first national internment operations of 1914 to 1920. A highlight of the festival was when Sadok’s youngest dancers, Rebeka Toporchak and Kyndra Johnson, ages four and six respec-
tively, were asked to perform at the evening grandstand show with their dance, Pysanky. “Their gorgeous Easter Egg costumes made by the group’s prop costume designer, Patricia Baker, was the show stopper of the festival,” said Malysh. Sadok has performed throughout the Okanagan and Alberta and at Disneyland, Calif. Their travels have taken them to Ukraine twice, once in 2006 and most recently in July of 2013. They were also guest performers at the inaugural Okanagan Military Tatoo Aug. 1 and 2. The group also hosts the annual Okanagan Ukrainian Festival at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre in May. Sadok will be holding its 2014 -15 dance season registration night Thursday, Sept. 4 at 6 p.m. at the Vernon Elks Lodge, 3103 30th St. For further information or to preregister contact Malysh at (250) 5582959, email sadok@shaw.ca or visit the website at www.sadok.net.
Behold the man! This saying spoken in irony becomes a profound truth, for here is manhood in its highest. In the trapping of mock irony Jesus stands haggard from exhaustion: to the agony in the garden have been added the ordeal of illegal trial throughout the night and the torture of scourging and he about to go to a criminal’s death. A strange figure to be the type of true manood. Yet: “he who loseth his life shall save it.” In losing himself he died for not his own sake but for God’s.

Nissan Versa (2011 or older): The
A height adjustable, good supporting driver’s seat plus a standard tilt and telescopic steering column make the Mazda3’s driving position particularly praiseworthy. It definitely offers the best driving experience, but popularity also makes Mazda3 the priciest pick of this group. Fuel consumption (2.0L/FWD): 8.4/6.1 L/100 km (city/highway) Fuel consumption (2.3L/FWD): 9.5/6.8 L/100 km (city/highway)
Nissan Versa may look small on the outside, but this four-door sedan or hatchback has an amazing amount of space on the inside. The extra head and leg room provided make it a very good match for a taller or bigger than average young person. Versa offers seating for four (squeeze five) full-sized adults and extra-large rear passenger doors also make getting in or out easier. The lower-priced sedan comes with a 1.6-litre (107-horsepower) Reviewing the attributes of these car leads me to engine and a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatsuggest there’s at least one suitable for anybody on ic. The hatchback comes with a 1.8-litre (122-horsea budget. power) engine and a 6-speed manual, 4-speed bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca automatic or a CVT automatic. Prior to 2010, a base Versa didn’t come with ABS (anti-lock braking system), and electronic stability control wasn’t even offered as an option. Its electronic-assist steering has an extra-light feel and it can turn on a (10.4 m) dime, making Versa an easy vehicle to park. Fuel consumption (1.6L/FWD): 7.7/5.8 2006 Mazda 3 2007 Jeep Patriot L/100 km (city/highway – 5 Manual) Fuel consumption (1.8L/FWD): 8.5/6.2 L/100 km (city/highway – 4 Automatic) Fuel consumption (1.8L/FWD): 7.3/5.8 L/100 km (city/highway - CVT) Mazda3 (2009 or older): The first generation Mazda3 (2004 to 2009) set a new performance standard in the 2009 Honda Fit economy car segment. Sold as a four-door 2007 Nissan Versa sedan or a (sportier) five-door hatchback, the Mazda3 has been a huge sales success in Canada. The four-door sedan editions of this Mazda3 come with (148-horsepower) 2.0-litre engine and in GX and GS trim levels. Sedan GT and (hatchback) Mazda3 Sport come in GS and GT trim levels and with 2009 Pontiac Vibe a (156-horsepower) 2.3-litre engine, with more torque at lower engine speeds.

That bold, Inside initial buyer but by fun attitude and design has been What continues to amaze me is just improved in for 2014, taking the the used car buyer what is offered in a compact vehicle best of the old model and updat- too. and Kia, in particular, jams more stuff ing it to a whole other level.

Now most buyers will shop in the middle good start in its first year of production and should EX trim and it starts at $20,895 also well equipped. be considered by anyone looking at a compact car One of the main reasons for the popularity of the replacement. Soul is the ease of use, meaning older buyers can

Looks
What is the Soul and how does it compare to the rest of the market? Well, it falls in size between a compact hatchback car and a small SUV, a true crossover. The two main rivals for this car are the Nissan Cube and Scion XB, but compared to those cars this is a much more polished effort in design and content. The body has been updated with slightly larger dimensions in width and length but the roof has been dropped by a centimeter. The front air intake is much bigger and the headlights look more aggressive. The back has a large black section around the rear bumper to help lift the eye,
get into the car thanks to the big doors and slightly higher seats, when compared with a compact car. The back seat is very roomy and has a flat floor for easy access for children. The cargo rear isn’t as big as a compact SUV but for a city runabout it does a great job because there is storage under the floor and the seats fold for more room.
Drive
Kia has a two-engine approach to the Soul. The base model gets a 130hp 1.6L 4-cylinder engine and all other trim levels get a larger 2.0L engine with 164hp. The same is true with the transmis-
sion; the base has a standard 6-speed manual transmission and all others get a 6-speed auto. The larger 2.0L engine was introduced into the last model but now it has the benefit of an updated chassis to get the most out of the Soul in terms of handling. The body has been strengthened and attention has been placed on noise and vibration 2014 Kia Soul from the engine and suspension. This all comes together to make a great city car that can dash in and out of traffic with ease and lets the passengers relax and enjoy the cars amenities. One of the reasons I think this is an alternative to a small SUV is the high seating position, great outward visibility and solid fuel economy, using 8.5L/100km in the city and 6.6L on the highway. The Soul would be just fine in the winter if driven sensibly and equipped with proper winter tires. Not everyone needs all wheel drive; front wheel drive is just fine.
Verdict
The Soul is already an award winner and has a dedicated buyer base. In fact, the Soul also won the 2014 ALG Residual Value Award for the subcompact utility class. This means that, the company, ALG believes this Soul will hold its value better than
the competition. Yes, this class is small but there is comfort in knowing the Soul isn’t just liked by the initial buyer but by the used car buyer too. If you are in the market for a compact hatchback or small SUV, do yourself a favour and try the Soul. My fully loaded tester was about the same price as a most base model compact SUVs but this runabout has attitude to spare. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

“Grandma, we’re coming to visit!” Keep your toddler safe in the car.
Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder THE DUMMY TELLS YOU TO BE ACTIVE Brian Tracy said, “I’ve found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances. Be more active. Show up more often.” In my experience, the better you play, the luckier you will be. And when you are being lucky, press the accelerator to the floor. This week we are looking at active and passive defense; whether the defenders should try hard to win tricks or should wait for declarer to give them winners. Often the auction will provide clear evidence of which way to turn. But sometimes it will not help. Then the defenders should study the dummy for
guidance - as in this deal. South is in four hearts. West leads the diamond two. After winning with his ace, what should East do next? The dummy is threatening because that spade suit is surely going to provide declarer with a source of tricks, on which he can discard his losers. East must defend actively by shifting to the club 10. Here, this garners three tricks in the suit to defeat the contract. Then East should congratulate West on his lead. If he had chosen, say, a trump, declarer would have taken at least 11 tricks. Finally, defense can be affected by the form of the game. When you are playing
Chicago or Swiss teams or knockout teams, when overtricks are relatively unimportant, follow this week’s guidelines. But when you are competing in a pair event, where overtricks can be like gold-dust, you must be more careful if your active defense is likely to blow a trick.

Alexander Neil Skelton
BECKNER, Donald
A Good and Moral Man LeŌ Us Today Alexander Neil Skelton died at his home in Vernon, BC on Wednesday, August 20th, 2014. Alex was born on December 17th, 1927 in Saskatoon, SK, the eldest of 4.

When he was 14, the family moved and made BC their home. /n 1951 he married the love of his life and they started their own beauƟful life together. Alex was an entrepeneur, a businessman, a farmer, a carpenter, an avid reader, and a music lover. He was a man with a social conscience and valued the well being of the liƩle guy. His poliƟcal views were smart and informed and he loved a good discussion. He was able to inŇuence many a grandchild to the correct way of thinking. Alex loved lamb cooked just right, dancing with Patricia, a good crop in a Įeld on a sunny day, Scotch whiskey, and marshmallow cookies, not necessarily in that order. Most of all he loved his family and cared deeply about their happiness, passions and accomplishments. He was a wonderful husband, an adored father and father-in-law, grandfather, and great-grandfather, and a much loved brother and friend who will be greatly missed by all. Alex will be forever remembered and always loved by his best friend and wife of 63 years, Patricia, along with their Įve children: Norm (Debby), Susan (Don), Ray (Carol), Kathy (Ken), Sheila (Ernie), 16 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren, brother Gordon (Erica), sister Joan, brother-in-law Craig (Donna), sister-in-law Arlene (Herb), numerous nieces and nephews and dearest friend Adrian. Alex was predeceased by infant son Douglas, his parents, Nigel and Margaret Skelton, his sister Dorothy, and nephew Glen Skelton. A celebraƟon of Alex͛s life will be held on September 20, 2014 from 1:00 to 8:00 at Alex and Pat͛s place on Swan Lake in Vernon (6941 Kld Kamloops Road). Those who wish may make a donaƟon in memory of Alex to the Lung AssociaƟon or the NDP.
