Smiles greet tentative teachers’ deal KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff
B.C.’s striking teachers will vote this week on a tentative settlement with the provincial government. Mediator Vince Ready announced the agreement early Tuesday morning, after five days of talks at a Richmond hotel. “It’s a process of negotiations; both parties worked very hard to get this agreement,” said Ready. “I’m pleased there’s an agreement and I think the public of British Columbia will be very pleased there’s an agreement.” With a ratification vote of 40,000 union members set for Thursday, the province’s 60 school districts are attempting to return to regular classes next week after five weeks of full-scale strike action that began last June. Premier Christy Clark calls the tentative settlement a “historic” achievement. Clark said if the vote passes, schools will be up and running again as early as Monday. She thanked parents for their patience as the strike dragged into the fall, saying a negotiated settlement was the only way to improve a relationship that has been dysfunctional for 30 years. “We’ll have five years to talk about the things that really matter, and that’s children in classrooms,” Clark said in Vancouver Tuesday. Clark said the deal includes increased funds to hire more teachers to address class size and special needs support. It is for six years, retroactive to the expiry of the earlier agreement last spring, with raises averaging just over one per cent per year. The government’s appeal of a court decision ordering the return of 2002 class size provisions will continue, Clark said. “The tentative agreement will provide new support for students, ensure there are more specialist and classroom teachers in schools working with children, and protect teachers’ constitutional rights as the court case continues,” said BCTF President Jim Iker, who is recommending ratification. “Thanks to the courageous stand teachers took on the picket lines and the strong support of parents and other unions, B.C. teachers were able to get new money invested in schools and reach a mutually agreed-to process to deal with any future court decision on class size, class composition, and staffing levels.” Vernon School District superintendent Joe Rogers said the hope is that students will be back in the classroom as early as next week. “Our schools are ready to go, our custodial staff has done a fantastic job, we’re clean

The only caveat is there could be a two-day start-up, so whether they will differentiate between districts, we don’t know at this point.” Rogers said the district appreciates the efforts made by the bargaining teams to reach this tentative agreement, with further details to be revealed following Thursday’s vote. “We’re really excited and thankful for the patience of the students, parents and the community, and the professionalism of

the teachers during this very difficult time — there’s been a lot of emotion,” he said. “Everyone wants what’s best for the kids and for them to be back in school.” The North Okanagan-Shuswap School District board chairman Bobbi Johnson reports the board is extremely happy with the news a tentative negotiated agreement has been reached. “I’m very excited that if the agreement is ratified our 6,000 students will soon be able to start their much anticipated new school year,” she said. Johnson said trustees across the province have been advocating for a negotiated agreement to end the labour dispute, calling on both sides to move beyond their current positions to make meaningful and real concessions with Ready’s assistance. “We are so pleased that the BCTF, BCPSEA and the government have been able

to work through this difficult time and reach a tentative negotiated agreement.” Both school districts will update parents as soon as possible with a plan of what will happen if the tentative agreement is ratified. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said a plan will be developed to make up missed instructional days, which could involve rescheduling Christmas and spring break or adding days to the end of the school year. Every student’s education will be “kept whole,” particularly senior high school students looking ahead to post-secondary studies, he said. “This is wonderful news for the students, teachers, administrators, support staff, trustees and parents in B.C.,” said B.C. School Trustees’ Association president Teresa Rezansoff. “The immediate goal is to get students back in classes as quickly as possible.”

School board cautious over pellet plant JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Plans to build a pellet plant near Lavington Elementary school aren’t getting a passing grade from the Vernon School Board. The board has written a letter to the Environmental Protection Officer stating that it cannot endorse the construction of a pellet plant by Pinnacle Renewable Energy due to the uncertain nature of information received. “We are unable to determine if the proposed pellet plan operation could present a potential danger to the students and teachers of Lavington School,” said chairperson Bill Turanski, in the letter. The board recently received presentations from Pinnacle and a number of Lavington parents and citizens but found that there are major conflicts with the data provided. “The board’s primary concern must, in every case, be the health and welfare of the students and if we err it will be on the side of caution. “We urge the Ministry of Environment to review this proposal to its fullest extent possible to ensure safety and well being of our staff and students.”
PINNACLE IMAGE
A pellet plant proposal (top left in photo), which is within approximately 200 metres of Lavington Elementary, has failed to gain support from the Vernon School Board. Pinnacle President Leroy Reitsma isn’t surprised by the position taken by the school board considering the concerns raised by area residents about health impacts due to particulate matter produced by pellet plants. But considering the advanced technology this proposal encompasses, Reitsma says he is actually surprised by the poor reception the
plant has been given. “I was not expecting people to react this way because the emission levels were so low,” said Reitsma. In fact, the plant aims at improving local air quality. “The fact is that this is a part of a larger effort to deal with fugitive dust,” said Reitsma, as sawdust at the adjacent Tolko facility (along with numerous other facilities in
the region) is just stockpiling and being blown around the area. “It’s to address that issue right there and I think that’s not been realized.” But the final decision lays with the ministry, which will use its own experts to decide whether the plant is safe for the region. Reitsma can’t say when a decision will be made.
Freeze put on Enderby arena activity Morning Star Staff
The Enderby Arena and Curling Rink will be delayed in opening for the ice season this year due to a problem with its chiller. The chiller is a long tube that encases a series of smaller tubes which circulates the brine and ammonia. When the chiller was being prepared for start-up earlier in the week, it was discovered that ammonia had leaked into the brine. “The super-chilled brine is what cools the floor of the arena and curling rink so that water can be frozen for the ice-making process,” said City of Enderby chief administrative officer Tate
Bengston. “We’re very disappointed by this.” As a next step, the brine and ammonia will be isolated and drained from the chiller. At that point, the circulation tubes can be analyzed. Depending on the nature of the solution, the potential delay in opening could range from four to 15 weeks. Further information about the delayed opening will be made available as soon as known. The delayed opening affects groups including North Okanagan and Salmon Arm minor hockey, adult and oldtimers pick-up hockey leagues, men’s, women’s, mixed and seniors

curling leagues, the Thompson Okanagan Ringette League, a homeschool program and an outreach program. A.L. Fortune Secondary School in Enderby could also be affected as they book ice time for its hockey academy, which would resume when the teachers strike is over. The delayed opening could also potentially affect a handful of City of Enderby employees, plus a contract employee of the curling club. Bengston estimated the current chiller to be 15-to-20 years old, and he also believed there was a similar problem with the previous chiller.

“There’s rarely a time-line with these things. It takes the time that’s required.” But Pinnacle has set itself up to be able to start construction this year if the approval is granted. “This is the major condition precedent to proceeding.” Meanwhile Lavington resident Stephanie Hoffman, who led efforts to sway Coldstream council’s support of the plant, is pleased with the school board’s decision. “As it was mentioned in their letter, the simple fact remains, that it is nearly impossible to determine the potential health hazards that might result from allowing an industry such as a pellet plant to be located within arm’s reach of an elementary school,” said Hoffman. “This is all the concerned residents of Lavington have ever asked for is that our representatives be very cautious in moving forward on something of this scale that will have a considerable impact on our community.” With these concerns in mind, Hoffman hopes the Ministry of Environment will follow suit and err on the side of caution by requesting that a full Environmental Analysis be completed in the area of the proposed pellet plant.

Noonan garners provincial honour roger knox Morning Star Staff
Patti Noonan came home from the B.C. Chamber Executives’ annual general meeting in New Westminster with something extra in her bag. The executive director of the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce was recognized by her peers with the Gerry Frederick Memorial Executive of the Year Award. The award is presented annually to a chamber executive who has made a difference in their community, fostered membership growth in the chamber and has been willing to take risks to achieve change. Humbled by the honour, Noonan was pleased to be recognized by the executive and her peers.

Last year’s winner Maureen Czirfusz of Houston (left) presents Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce executive director Patti Noonan with the Gerry Frederick Memorial award. “Each year when they read the names of previous winners, I recognize many as my mentors who have helped offer assistance and support in my career,” said
Noonan, the first North Okanagan recipient in the award’s 24-year history. “I could not have imagined my name would have been included with that group of
inspiring people and am very pleased to be honoured this way.” The award also recognizes an executive who has served as a champion of the chamber network, as a mentor to new executives and deemed to be a leader by their peers and their chamber. “Patti is an example of a truly dedicated individual who enriches not just her chamber and her community but, on a personal level, the lives of her members, staff, colleagues and friends,” said Alan Asaph, B.C. Chamber Executive president. “It has been an extreme pleasure for me to work with, and be inspired by, someone like her.” In his letter of nomination for Noonan,

They spent all summer training and fundraising, and then another 11 days on the road cycling for local children. The local trio of Vernon RCMP Const. Nick Reimann, auxiliary constable Peter Foodikoff and jail guard Kevin Lane returned Sunday from their 10-day, 1,000-km cycling journey across southeastern British Columbia as a part of the Cops for Kids Ride Team. The annual event raises funds and awareness for children in medical, physical and traumatic crisis in the region, for the funding of medical equipment, therapies, travel to Children’s Hospital, learning and mobility aids. Since 2001, Cops for Kids has raised more than $2.7 million in support of local children and this year’s event added a record-breaking $260,000 to that total. During the 10-day ride, Cops for Kids rode into 18 different communities across the region, where they were generously hosted by local restaurants, hotels and service groups to keep the team fueled and rested for the road. “It was great to arrive into our hometown of Vernon on Day 9,” said Lane. “To land in our hometown at the end of the leg, it was great to be welcomed with such open arms at Swan Lake Nurseryland, and then also again at Boston Pizza before our overnight at SameSun Backpack Lodge at Silver Star. These local businesses opened their doors to us, and

that’s money that can be put forward to the children.” Added Foodikoff: “This was such a rewarding experience. We knew it was going to be physically challenging, but we had no idea how good it feels to know that our short-term pain really makes a difference for children who are struggling.” Cops for Kids provide assistance directly to children who need it most from this region. Due to the overwhelming number of grant requests, they are unable to meet the demands and have established a wait list of children needing essential medical equipment, specialized therapies, and medical travel. Although their signature event has wrapped up, their need for funding lasts throughout the year. The group currently has a wait list for funding, and they require year-round donations to fund their requests until the 2015 ride. “To actually see the difference we’re making to these families who are struggling, makes me want to work even harder for next year. I can’t wait to be a part of the 2015 team,” said Reimann. To make a donation please visit the website at www.copsforkids.org.

Sessions focus on sustainability Morning Star Staff
A local organization wants anyone running for elected office to consider sustainability. The Sustainable Environment Network Society will hold a number of sessions for the public and candidates for Vernon mayor and council. “With civic municipal elections Nov. 15, we all need to plan ahead to ensure that the best candidates represent us,” said Julia Lissau, secretary-treasurer. “Who will best serve all of us with decisions that have a positive impact long into the future?” On Sept. 25 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Schubert Centre, there will be a public information session on city governance and infrastructure. The theme will be community devel-
opment and it will be led by Kim Flick, City of Vernon community development manager. “She will help you understand our official community plan and the principals behind it that ensure our community can continue to develop without having an increasing impact on our surroundings. SENS will then speak on how information presented relates to the upcoming election,” said Lissau. “Whether you vote in Vernon or in a close-by municipality, come out and learn so you can ask searching questions of local candidates.” On Oct. 4 from 2 to 9 p.m. at Trinity United Church, there will be a planning session to learn from and with other citizens who wish to make a positive impact
in this community. “They’ll ask, ‘How can we work together to become a more resilient, lower-energy community?’” said Lissau. “What ideas do you have about how we can meet future needs for food transportation, housing, local economy, alternative energy, conservation of the environment and more?” For more information, go to www. transitionnetwork.org.

Police investigating fatality roger knox Morning Star Staff
The death of a former North Okanagan man in Saskatchewan is being investigated by Kindersley RCMP as suspicious. Dylan Cordell Hanna, 19, who listed having attended Kalamalka Secondary School on his Facebook page, was found unresponsive lying on the ground outside his temporary work residence Sunday at 6 a.m. local time. Hanna was trans-
ported to the Kindersley Hospital where attempts to revive him were unsuccessful. Kindersley RCMP has since entered into this sudden death investigation and are treating it as suspicious. Staff-Sgt. Geoff Buxcey described the residence where Hanna had been living at as a job site, a multi-dwellings trailer park located in the industrial area on the west side of Kindersley, located two hours southwest of Saskatoon.
A number of employees from various oil field companies reside in this complex when working in the Kindersley area. “I believe he’d been in Saskatchewan for about a year,” said Buxcey, adding the death is being treated as suspicious because they’re not sure how he died at this point. “He had a Saskatchewan driver’s licence.” Kindersley RCMP, along with Major Crimes, Saskatoon Forensic Identification Services,
Prices in Effect until Sept. 25th
and the Provincial Coroner’s Office, are assisting in the investigation into this matter. An autopsy is scheduled for later this week.

It’s all about numbers
t’s still early days on the election front, but some interesting scenarios are developing. First off, there are some suggestions that there could be a virtually brand new city council in Vernon after the Nov. 15 vote. And that’s possible when you consider that two of the six councillor seats are already confirmed vacant because of the death of Patrick Nicol and Mary-Jo O’Keefe making a bid to be mayor. On top of this, it’s unknown if Coun. Bob Spiers will pursue a third term as he insisted he would only ever be a oneterm councillor and he Richard Rolke is increasingly frustrated with bureaucracy. Coun. Brian Quiring may also walk because his civic duties have created challenges for his day job as an architect. If O’Keefe isn’t chosen to replace the retiring Rob Sawatzky, then there would be a new mayor. That could ultimately leave Juliette Cunningham and Catherine Lord as possibly the only returning council members (it’s anticipated they will both seek re-election). Now for those who are critical of city hall’s performance over the last three years, a clean house will be a positive. It could lead to new directions and new attitudes regarding key issues such as economic development and taxation. There is also the theory that the longer someone is in office, they become more comfortable being around other politicians and public servants and aren’t as responsive to the public. If this election is anything like 2011 (there were 15 candidates for councillor), then there will be plenty of choices for voters. However, some people are also suggesting
BEYOND THE HEADLINES
that a complete overhaul could create major challenges. First off, it takes about a year-anda-half for a newbie to become familiar with all of the rules and how a municipality operates, so without the direction of some seasoned veterans, how much will get done initially? There may also be a concern that a whole pile of new faces may either intentionally or unwittingly undo some of the work done by their predecessors, such as the current co-operative spirit between Vernon and neighbouring jurisdictions. The other scenario that has also risen to the surface is the race for mayor. Presently, there are three candidates — O’Keefe, Klaus Tribes and Victor Cumming. It’s been suggested that another high-profile individual may be waiting in the wings, and there may also be others who fancy themselves in the top post. Obviously it’s great to see people interested in the future of their community and it should be the more the merrier when democracy is involved. However, as has been seen before in Vernon, a crowded ballot makes it challenging for individual candidates, and particularly those who are new to campaigning or don’t have much public exposure, to get their message out. It also makes it difficult for voters to wade through all of the platforms and personal styles to determine who will be the best selection. There is also a common view that any more than two or three candidates splits what is already a low voter turnout and you can possibly get a mayor who nobody is really enthusiastic about. As the polling stations close Nov. 15, candidates and residents will focus closely on the final tallies — who rose to the top, who’s at the bottom. But, in some ways, it may be more interesting to see how the numbers unfold before election day.
With the teachers’ strike looking like it is finally coming to an end, the question needs to be asked: What next? The immediate job, of course, is getting students back behind their desks. That is, assuming both the province and the teachers ratify the tentative agreement reached in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. But in the long term, we need a solution to terminate the seemingly endless labour disputes between the province and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. Students looking forward to graduating this year, after 12 years in the system, have never known an educational environment free from labour strife. They’re not likely to be the last students to be able to claim that. Even as teachers head into classrooms. There is still the issue of class size and composition currently before the B.C. Supreme Court, a legal dispute over contract language the two sides have been squabbling over since 2002. That’s just the latest salvo in over four decades of labour unrest and bickering between the province and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, with more than 50 strikes, lockouts and labour actions since the first province-wide teachers strike in March 1971. Robbing students of education through strikes and lockouts is bad enough, but that much strife is not a record that either the province or the BCTF should be proud of, certainly nothing that would earn either side an A for effort. We’re doing this to protect our student’s education is a catchphrase used by both sides. It’s time to make that principle a reality, rather than just a sound bite. Stop the game-playing and work to build a sustainable relationship between educators and the government, and put an end to the never-ending cycle of disputes. Now that would be a lesson to pass on to the province’s students. -Black Press

Letter draws a response
e write in response to Coldstream Councillor Maria Besso’s letter to the editor in The Morning Star. The debate Besso refers to concerns a rezoning application to allow for the construction of a wood pellet plant 278 metres from Lavington Elementary School. Besso fails to mention that Coldstream’s zoning bylaw compels council to have due regard to the health, safety and well being of the public, which includes the children of Lavington Elementary. The bylaw further states that nothing in the zone shall become a nuisance, emit odour, dust, fumes or smoke, or cause a health hazard. Besso asserts one should listen before they speak. However, to whom one listens is relevant. Expert opinion was placed before council by the proponent. Council was requested to, at the very least, retain their own expert, but they refused. Thus Besso listened to the proponent but felt it unnecessary to hear any other neutral expert opinion. Council, by a 4 to 3 vote, chose to give the rezoning third and final reading based on the proponent’s experts, and the lay opinions of the concerned public who packed the hearing room. The mayor himself admitted council did not have the expertise to properly assess the application and then went about approving the rezoning. It is our position council was not properly informed and therefore not in a position to agree to the rezoning and commit to an irreversible industrial development. They failed to carry out their responsibility of safeguarding the health and safety of their citizens. The pellet plant will emit particulate matter known as PM10 and
PM2.5, increasing the amount of this pollutant that is already in the air. It will also increase truck and rail traffic, noise, pedestrian hazards, fugitive dust, and the risk of fire and/or explosion. The truck traffic will be on School Road, the road Lavington Elementary fronts. No data on noise levels, explosion risk or pedestrian risk was provided by the proponent, a fact not mentioned by Besso PM2.5 is matter smaller than 2.5 microns in size and cannot be seen. It travels deep into the lungs. Exposure to PM2.5 can be traced to premature death and adverse cardiovascular effects. It can cause asthma in children and studies have found long term exposure may be linked to cancer, infant mortality and low birth weight. The BC Lung Association found in a 2002/2003 study that there was no level of PM2.5, below which there are no health impacts. Besso neglected to mention these facts. Our own calculations of background PM10 and PM2.5 levels,
TAiLiNGS PoND BrEACh Both the current B.C. and federal governments pride themselves on their economic policies. I wonder about the economic fallout with regard to the toxic flooding by the mining industry of pristine Quesnel Lake and the surrounding Cariboo area.
Besso sees as a possible “model for green technology.” Such a proposition is absurd and contrary to the responsibility of council to protect the health and safety of its electorate. If this facility were to be a model, it would not be located in such close proximity to a school. Nobody can argue jobs are not important, and the proposed plant will create these jobs regardless of where (among the many viable locations) the plant is ultimately built. However the incremental logistical benefit realized by the proponent by locating the plant beside Lavington Elementary is not as valuable as the health of the children that attend this school. Those of us who oppose the rezoning are labeled by Besso of “opposing and hampering all industry.” Where she came up with this conclusion is unknown, but, it is untrue. We oppose a pellet plant 278 metres from Lavington Elementary; we are determined to guard the health and safety of the children of Lavington Elementary, even if Besso and three other members of Coldstream Council are apparently not. We are calling for a full provincial Environmental Assessment of the proposed facility, expert peer review of the proponent’s analyses, and baseline air quality monitoring before issuance of any further approvals. This is the least our council representatives, including Besso, can also ask for. Respectfully submitted on behalf of Lavington LIFE, representing over 600 residents of Lavington and area.

when adjusted to account for the old style meter used in Vernon, indicate that these levels are already near or in excess of Provincial Air Quality Objectives. Besso also neglected to state that the PM2.5 and PM10 emissions from the pellet plant will, when added to these existing levels, result in levels which further exceed all Provincial Air Quality Objectives. This fact was made known to her at the public hearing. PM2.5 can travel in excess of 20 km, thus effecting all Coldstream residents. Besso claims there are 3,000 centers in Europe using the drying technology proposed by the proponent. That fact is wrong. The proponent stated to council there were 300 but as a result of correspondence with the manufacturer, it is apparent there are only 140. This is one fact we have been able to check and we wonder what other facts as stated by the proponent are wrong. The health of the children of Lavington Elementary should not be put at risk to obtain what Councillor

BLuE BiNS Regardless of how I feel about the blue bins, I find it to be extremely annoying and potentially dangerous that the emptied blue bins are left blocking my driveway every week. The road in front of my home is very busy; I have to get out of my car in traffic to move the bins so that I can pull into my driveway. I know the workers get out of their truck to empty them. It would be nice if they left the bins on the side of my driveway where they found them. Pat McDonagh

A split decision made two years earlier still haunts one of the witnesses testifying in Michael Ellis’s second degree murder trial. “It’s chilling in hindsight. At the time I didn’t realize the danger I put myself in … My children could have been orphaned,” said Michael James Scott, an onsite construction supervisor with the Ministry of Transportation, who chased after Ellis and two others as they allegedly led police on a wild, gun-shot punctuated trip from West Kelowna to the outer reaches of Vernon. Scott got caught up in the chase in the early
afternoon of July 31, 2012 when he was informed of a minivan blowing past a flagger a few kilometres away from his work site. It didn’t take long for the van, believed to be carrying Ellis, Ashley Collins and Shawn Adam Wysynski, to reach his location and, as they passed, Scott decided to follow. Scott told the court that Ellis and his crew had a head start, but traffic slowed their run down Westside Road and he was able to catch up as they stopped by a line of vehicles parked facing toward West Kelowna. Three people got out of the van at that point, and the driver approached a red truck parked in the line.
“He opened up the door and pulled (the driver of the red truck) out,” Scott said, adding all three minivan occupants then busied themselves transferring items from the minivan to the red truck. Falling papers momentarily took Scott’s attention away from the events on the road, but when he looked up again there was a heavy set man with a dark complexion and stubble standing in front of his truck, pointing a short barrelled gun at him. The burly gunman, who Scott identified as Ellis, fired four times forcing Scott to duck below the dash. When Scott looked up, they’d all filed into
their new ride, speeding down Westside Road again. He remained close behind, trailing around 100 to 150 meters back, while someone from within the truck continued to fire shots at him. “I braked to put more distance between us,” he said, noting the second round of shots had more of a cracking sound compared to the thud of the initial round. As the pursuit continued, the red truck maneuvered into a pullout and someone hopped out as it came to a rolling stop. “I thought they were going to pull out and shoot more at me, and sure enough the driver took the shooting stance

and continued to fire at me,” Scott said. The gun used for the third round of shots appeared to have a longer barrel and the shooter used the truck for balance. “I was quite a ways back, braking hard and putting the vehicle in reverse,” Scott said. “The tires were almost howling because I was braking so hard…. then flooring it in reverse.” From start to finish that interaction took 15 to 20 seconds and, despite the risks he repeatedly faced, Scott kept shadowing the truck until he came across RCMP officers on Westside Road. That’s when Scott decided to double back, and went to the work site where he first made contact with the minivan. As he parked his car and started speaking with an RCMP officer, Scott learned that his truck had been punctured by a bullet and it was taken into evidence, and it seemed as though his role in the dangerous string of events had come to an end. Three days later, however, Scott was back on site when one of his flaggers pulled up on his motorcycle and showed him the sawed off rifle in his saddle bag that he’d just found. Scott said he called the police, who took the gun into evidence. Two years later, the whole thing still seems strange. “It’s been surreal, it’s hard to believe this whole thing happened,” he said, noting that he really thought that the rounds being fired at him were from non-lethal weapons or BB guns. Scott is merely one among dozens that Crown Counsel Murray Kaay is illustrating to be put at risk from the actions of Ellis and his two cohorts. In many cases, their testimony indicates that they believed they were in a hair’s breadth of harm. Ellis faces 22 charges, five of which are attempted murder. The trial is scheduled to continue on for several more weeks. Collins, 21, and Wysynski 34, pleaded guilty to lesser charges in June and are expected to be sentenced in October.

Biosolids help with landfill closure 9.9 Morning Star Staff
The Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) will be using Metro Vancouver biosolids as part of an innovative process for closing the Pottery Road Landfill. The use of biosolids and yard waste compost will add important plant nutrients and organic matter to quickly establish grass over the site. Additionally, these materials contain natural soil microorganisms that convert methane gas from landfills into carbon dioxide thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 21 times. Metro Vancouver and the RDNO have partnered for this project because it offers unique opportunities for both regions
“Fabricating topsoil...saves the project more than $400,000.”
— Regional District of North Okanagan to participate in a landfill capping (closure) process using conventional waste products as resources to sustainably manage the final closure of the site. This partnership also allows the RDNO to control project costs. Fabricating the topsoil instead of purchasing it readymade saves the project more than $400,000 and allows the RDNO to use locally made yard waste compost and local min-

Support staff ratify new deal ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Nine more school districts, including the Vernon School District, and more than 2,700 support staff workers have ratified new agreements under the B.C. government’s 2014 Economic Stability Mandate. The deal for the Vernon district affects 503 Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) support staff workers including bus drivers, custodians, secretaries, education assistants, maintenance workers, mechanics and carpenters. The term of the new agreement for each district is from July 1, 2014, to June 30, 2019. It provides for a 5.5 per cent Mark Olsen wage increase over the five years of the term, with potential for additional increases if the B.C. economy exceeds the annual forecasts set by the Economic Forecast Council during the last four years of the agreement. CUPE Local 5523 president Mark Olsen said more than 90 per cent of his members voted in favour of ratifying the deal. “Some members are frustrated with a lack of increase in the cost of living and gasoline and everything else that’s going up,” said Olsen. “But the long-term stability, some members are happy with that. Reaction to the deal is mixed but they did vote in favour of it. The majority are happy with it.” To date almost 12,500 support staff workers in 30 school districts have fully ratified agreements in place. This represents approximately 36 per cent of the total support staff workers in B.C. school districts. The remaining districts are working to ratify agreements by November. The North Okanagan Shuswap School District ratified a deal with its 514 CUPE members in July.
Parkland Use. This nutrient rich material will be mixed with RDNO yard waste compost and local mineral soils to generate approximately 12,000 m3 of topsoil, which will then be hauled to the Pottery Road Landfill. The biosolids mixed with the compost and mineral soil will provide the nutrients that are needed for grass growth in the spring of 2015. The Ministry of Environment has been working with the project team to ensure odour is mitigated and the biosolids are managed in accordance with appropriate regulations.

Teaching the next generation of music stars New music studio in Vernon to give its students performance opportunities Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
They came from different eras, composed and played very different genres of music, but French impressionist pianist/composer Claude Debussy and instrumental rock guitarist Joe Satriani actually have something in common. They were both music teachers who gave, and in Satriani’s case still gives, private lessons to aspiring musicians. It’s not an unusual occupation for a musician to teach the fundamentals of any given instrument, or to help students learn to read the notes on a page. However, the benefits of a professional musician sharing his or her knowledge of what it’s like to be on a stage, performing live, is unique. A group of well-known musicians are offering just that experience to students in Vernon. They have just joined forces to start up a new music school, 29th Street Music Studios, that will not only provide the fundamentals on a number of different instruments, but will give actual opportunities for performance. “A school is only as good as its teachers and we have a good core group with lots of experience. We are all out there playing, not just talking the talk,” said Linc Balardo, a guitar instructor who has nine years of teaching experience, mostly rock and pop music, and who has played with a number of local bands. “We are all are on board with doing concerts and giving students something that goes beyond the classroom. We want to get

Dan oldfield assesses the drumming skills of his new student abby Battersby, 12, at the just opened 29th street music studios in Vernon. students with other students performing, We hope to do Christmas shows, tribute concerts and whatever other events are taking place in town.” Balardo stresses the part about getting students to perform with one another. “Getting together with other musicians can be like climbing a mountain. They are either shy or just don’t know how to go about it. The school is a way to network with people,” he said. In fact, Balardo has been working with a
group of female guitar students who are now getting into the concert circuit. “They now have a band called the G-strings and they have six-or-seven songs they have learned. It’s incredible seeing young students break out into performing. Some are now in Vancouver playing professionally and going to university for music.” Vernon-raised drummer Dan Oldfield is one of those musicians who has recorded and performed professionally – in his case, with the likes of Andrew Allen, Greg Sczebel and
Jon Buller – and is now sharing his knowledge for the first time as an instructor. He gives lessons on a drum kit as well as on various percussion instruments such as the cajon, djembe, congas and bongos. “It’s a confidence booster getting students to play live,” he said. “A lot of students will come out of here with a good background of what it’s like to be a performer.” Oldfield also stresses the importance of students having that one-on-one contact with their instructor rather than getting lessons off the internet or other outside sources. “It’s confusing as you can only see so much on the ‘net. You can’t see the hands or the feet properly. You have that personal rapport working with the student in person. We can get on their case more so they feel obligated to practise,” he laughed. Balardo agrees. “We see students for an hour to half-anhour a week and sometimes they will tell you things they may not want to tell their parents. You get to know them and you can personalize the experience.” With the school having opened Sept. 8 and enrolment going at a steady pace, Balardo hopes to eventually have students not only perform but also record. “It would also help if some of them could learn about sound recording and to do the sound at our concerts,” he said. “We want them to be well rounded. It will make them better musicians in the end.” The 29th Street Music Studios currently has three guitar instructors, including Balardo, John Phillips and Jim Miles, keyboard instruction from Betty Ann Northup, vocals with Paul Moore, and bass with Roy Kawano of Cod Gone Wild fame. Lessons are also available in ukulele, banjo, mandolin and classical guitar. More information is available on the school’s Facebook page.
Bryan Adams returns to Valley with Reckless 30th anniversary tour Morning Star Staff
Those who missed him when he performed his sold-out Bare Bones concert at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre in February have another chance to see Bryan Adams in the Okanagan.

Originally released in 1984, Reckless produced a record six hits, Run to You, Kids Wanna Rock, Somebody, Summer of ‘69, One Night Love Affair and It’s Only Love, a
duet with the incomparable Tina Turner. Reckless also gave Adams his first U.S. number one single on the Billboard charts, with Heaven, as well as diamond status for more than one million copies sold in Canada. The album was the turning point in Adams’ career, resulting in his hugely successful World Wide in ‘85 tour.

Duo hears call of the wild in Iceland For The Morning Star
The Vernon Film Society will be showing the road trip movie Land Ho! at the Vernon Towne Cinema Monday. This official selection for the 2014 Sundance Film Festival follows the journey that two former brothers-in-law take through Iceland. After forced retirement, former surgeon Mitch (newcomer Earl Lynn Nelson) shows up on the recently divorced Colin’s (Paul Eenhoorn, This is Martin Bonner) doorstep with two tickets for an all expenses paid trip to Iceland. Mitch has planned a busy itinerary: luxury hotels, indulgent spas, some picturesque hiking, trendy nightclubs and renowned restaurants. This is all in the interest of helping him and his long-time pal escape the monotony of their everyday lives back home in America. They are both in their 60s and are somewhat disenchanted with where they have ended up, somewhat lost and facing loneliness in their aging years. Brash, unruly Mitch and the forlorn, mild-mannered Colin make an unlikely pair in this picaresque adventure from trendy Reykjavik to rugged outback – a throwback to classic bawdy road comedies, as well as a candid exploration of aging, loneliness and friendship. The spectacular scenery of Iceland provides the backdrop to their wandering as they mull over art, baffle over molecular

In April, it was recognized as Band of the Month by Victoria radio station, The Zone 91.3, and the praise has continued since the release of Nocturnal in August. This summer was spent playing some respected music fes-
tivals including Rock The Royal (a showcase of Victoria’s nine top talents), Tall Tree Music Festival, Rifflandia, and also the Smithers Midsummer Music Festival, which the band headlined. Earlier this year, Isobel Trigger launched
a new initiative inviting DJs to remix Dust and Bones. The winning remix went to Rough Child and the track was instantly added to the band’s YouTube page. That success led the band to launch a similar contest for its single Tiger Shark, where submissions were received from all over the world (U.K., Germany, Spain, and the U.S.) The winner was DJ Jonnas Roy from Mexico City. “With nearly 3,000 listens and 90 likes, it was clear that Jonnas Roy’s version was favoured to win, especially because of the

Merryn Wright, 2 1/2, enjoys a book next to the Little Free Library that she helped to create with her mom, Jane Wright, outside their East Hill home. The Little Free Library is an initiative taking place around the world where friends and neighbours can take a book and leave a book for others to enjoy. Unfortunately, when Merryn went to check on her library Sunday morning, she discovered that someone had taken it. She and her family would love to see it returned to its rightful place on 26th Street
All about peonies
F
or two nights last week, we had some white roofs in our area, but luckily my garden didn’t get any frost. As I write this column, it is 24 degrees C and hard to believe Jocelyne Sewell that summer is on its way out. I have started to clean the yard and pick up all my pots and whatever lays around. The soil could use a good rain as it is very dry and all my rain barrels are empty at the moment. I am hoping to fill them up again for a last time. A few light frosts would not hurt them but they have to be emptied for winter. If some water is left in them and they freeze, they will crack. Years ago, I was given an
A GArdener’s diAry
old garden book, The book of Garden Magic by R.E. Biles. I have taken advice from this book many times. I like the part about peonies in the things to do in September. “Remember September 15th at 9 a.m. the clock strikes for transplanting peonies.” I might miss the timing but I plan on transplanting some of them this year. Some of the advice in the book is to transplant your peonies in rotation — a few each year if you have many to do. In this way you will not risk loss of bloom on all of them. All I am writing about peonies today is taken from that book. “A peony is an investment for years. Handle carefully to protect from injury before planting. Mid-September is the best time for digging the roots if you are transplanting. Roots must be at least 12 to 15 inches long (30 to 38 cm). If possible two people should dig against
each other in removing the old plant. Remove as large a ball of earth as possible. Stay away from stem 15 to 18 inches (38 to 45cm). Use forks, not spades, and go as deep as possible. Peonies need a sunny location. They will bloom in medium soil but respond to well-prepared soil. Prepare the holes in advance and if possible in a new location. The lower 12 inches of the hole should be filled with soil well-mixed with perfectly rotted manure or compost. Bone meal in the hole will benefit the roots later when they can reach into it. Tramp this layer of soil well and soak it several days before planting. Prepare the top soil with more compost and good soil. When dug, the roots will be brittle. Allow the ball to be exposed to sun and wind a few hours until tops wilt. Roots will then be more pliable. Wash off earth with a hose spray, until thoroughly clean. Remove
tops to two inches (five cm). Cut off neatly the bruised or damaged roots if any. Bend the large clump carefully to find the weakest part and divide there. Cut with a strong sharp knife. Then subdivide these clumps into strong roots having four or five eyes. Roots without eyes are worthless. As the crown of the plant must remain at two inches (five cm) from the surface, it is essential that all soil be firmed to avoid settling. Water as planting proceeds to settle earth. A root planted too deeply may not bloom next year or later and one too shallow may suffer winter injury.” This seems a lot of work but I always went with these rules and my transplants have always bloomed the following year. I am sure that a lot of blooming peonies survive without all this fuss. For more information: 250558-4556.
Event helps to share awareness about mental illness For The Morning Star
In January 2003, Helen MacDonnell’s brother Duncan died by suicide. She realized — too late — that he suffered from bi-polar disorder, something she knew little about. So she began her journey to better understand mental health disorders. She was astounded to learn how common mental illnesses are and how stigma and lack of awareness prevents sufferers from receiving help. One year later, the first Women & Wellness event was held at Helen’s Riverview, N.B. home, where 54 women gathered to laugh, cry, share stories and
the positive energy only a group of women can create. The women there raised $1,200 for their local Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) branch and a national movement began. Women & Wellness grew out of one family’s loss of a son and brother by suicide and their resulting awareness of how common, yet hidden mental illnesses continue to be. Now, 10 years later, the event happens in cities across Canada, raising awareness and funds for local CMHA branches. On Thursday, the CMHA’s Vernon
and District Branch is hosting its fourth Women and Wellness event at Turtle Mountain Vineyards in Vernon. Women and Wellness is a unique event where attendees listen to heartfelt stories, share community, raise a glass and lift a spirit. “Awareness of mental illness and mental health is critical,” said Shelagh Turner, executive director of CMHA Vernon branch. “Women and Wellness is the perfect opportunity for us to increase awareness and reduce the stigma that too often prevents people from getting the help they need.”

Turtle Mountain hosts Women & Wellness continued from page A15 Women & Wellness begins at 6 p.m. with a reception that includes appetizers and refreshments. The silent auction includes beautiful baskets from many local sponsors and there is a chance to win gifts from the raffle tickets sold during the reception. Following the reception, Grade 6 student Finnegan Pihl will share his story of “lived experience” with anxiety disorder and depression. “He will also share his unique perspective about how mental illness has impacted his family, school, and relationships,” said
Turner. “Finn challenges all of us to talk openly about mental illness so we can build toward a mentally healthy community.” Broadcaster Betty Selin, cohost of the Morning Show on Sun FM radio, will take a humorous look at aging and the fun it brings to women. She believes that laughter is the best medicine. The evening wraps up around 8:30 p.m. with silent auction high bidders and raffle draw winners. The title sponsor for the event is Investors Group, along with many other event sponsors and community volunteers. “The event is a unique fun-
draiser hosted by the Canadian Mental Health Association Vernon branch to dispel myths and create hope for the one in five Canadians who suffer from depression or other mental illnesses,” said Turner. “Come out for the evening where women gather to raise a glass and our voices to break the silence about mental illness.” All proceeds from the event are kept at the Vernon branch and will be directed towards wellness programs in the community. Registration is required to attend this special evening. Please go to www.vernon.cmha. bc.ca to find out more.

Vero Health Naturopathic Care in Vernon is offering free group acupuncture for stress reduction on Sunday from 10 a.m. to noon. The treatment involves five needles in the ears — patients are seated, fully clothed and in a quiet circle. Treatment is 20 to 45 minutes and then the needles are removed. “This same simple protocol was originally developed to treat addictions and mental illnesses and has become widely used for trauma recovery and stress relief,” said registered acupuncturist Ashley Piderman, with Vero Health. “Because it can easily be adapted for field use, this is the model used by Acupuncturists Without Borders for disaster relief field clinics, veterans’ clinics and many community acupuncture clinics. The treatment is safe, effective and elegantly simple. Treat yourself — it’s free.” According to its Web site, “AWB uses community-style acupuncture to provide caring, compassionate treatment in a group setting. This model of treatment allows everyone treated to experience relief from stress and trauma together. When the entire group feels calm and quiet, hope, determination and resiliency rises powerfully within it.” The free clinic runs Sunday from 10 a.m. to noon. Participants should wear comfortable clothing and tie or pin long hair back so the ears are exposed. Bring your own comfort, such as a blanket or lawn chair. Vero Health is at 2915-28th Ave. in Vernon.

With busy evenings, using a slow cooker makes sense - you can create hearty, delicious meals with little effort. When using your slow cooker for stews and roasts, brown the meat first. Browning the meat will add exceptional flavour to the gravy or sauce. Try doing a pulled pork roast with barbecue sauce for wonderful sandwiches. “Come to Askew’s Foods and see what an old fashion meat shop should be”

According to a report to council, the moorage buoy system will have less of an impact on Okanagan Lake than the original marina plan. Koch said it will reduce the potential for water intake problems, lessen the impact on the lake bed from a fish spawning perspective and also decrease the visual impacts on the area. Lakestone is now into its second phase of construction with a planned 1,365 units planned over the entire project. The project is the largest single development to be on the books in Lake Country.

charming bungalow with a wood-burning fireplace in the great room, this three-bedroom family home includes a covered deck overlooking the back garden, as well as plans for an unfinished basement. Once through the covered entry into the foyer, a dining room with a decorative tray ceiling is on the right, separated from the foyer by a halfwall, while on the left is the U-shaped staircase to the unfinished basement. Directly ahead, through an archway, is the spacious great-room complex, which includes a fireplace and an eating nook, with a doorway onto the back deck that will make outdoor meals easy during the warmer months.

The kitchen is divided from the dining room by a built-in pantry, as well as a prep island, and boasts an efficient L-shaped counter configuration. A window over the double sink will allow in plenty of natural light. The master suite, located at the back of the home for privacy, includes an en-suite with an oval soaker tub with its own window, as well as a shower stall. Double basins will ease the morning rush hour, and the walk-in closet is roomy enough for a couple’s clothing and accessories.

Musical evening supports group Morning Star Staff
A little shake has helped a Vernon organization. The third annual Shake on the Lake held in Coldstream on an August evening was a fantastic success. More than 200 people attended the charity concert which raised more than $6,000 to be split between local Vernon-based charity Neighborhood Investment Group and Calgary’s own Community Kitchen Program. “Inspiration and gratitude are two of the words that come to mind after being at this event,” said Neighbourhood Investment Group founder Michael Little. The evening featured musicians Andrew Allen, Dan Oldfield and Cole Friesen of Vernon, and Cole Hruska and Michael Bernard Fitzgerald, who entertained the appreciative crowd well into the evening. The musicians – Cole Hruska(Calgary), Andrew Allen (Los Angeles via Vernon), Dan Oldfield (Vernon) and Cole Friesen (Vernon), and Michael Bernard Fitzgerald (Calgary) – entertained the big appreciative crowd well into the evening. Allen and Oldfield presented Little with a cheque for $3,044. “It is the much-needed boost that we need to pay back some of the people that have helped us,” said Little, adding the Vernon Family Church will receive a portion of the funds as they provide the facility free of charge for Little to host monthly community dinners. “My hopes are also that this is the beginning of the perpetual funding necessary for community dinners to continue to operate unencumbered in the Okanagan and Canada,” said Little.

Xeriscape works for longtime gardener JUDIE STEEVES Special to The Morning Star
Growing up in a family of gardeners, Gwen Steele had her own garden at the age of five, triggering a lifelong passion for growing things. In 1992, working for Burnett’s Garden Centre in Kelowna, customers would often ask which plants make water work best, growing in the Okanagan’s hot summer sun with a minimum of water.
She took the queries to heart and began researching. Out of that research came a list which she carried in her pocket to answer questions at work, and a new term for gardening with nature — xeriscape. “I have always loved helping people garden successfully. It connects you to the earth and feeds your spirit. The principles of xeriscape provide an easy guide to success,” said
Steel. “Personally, I want to get the maximum benefit from my gardening time, so I use plants that do well without a lot of care.
A plant requiring extra care doesn’t get to stay in my garden.” she explains. “Also, I’ve always been keen on the environment and living in harmony with
nature.” Although conserving water was not a consideration decades ago when the valley was less populated, she says, “I hated dragging hoses, so xeriscape suited me better for many reasons.” Another benefit of creating colourful gardens using plants that thrive under local conditions turned out to be their resistance to disease and insect pests. “It’s magical to

watch an infestation of aphids disappear once the ladybugs move in,” she notes. For more than 20 years, Steele has continued her quest to learn which plants do best in our valley’s challenging climate. Her xeriscape research has included growing plants and recording how they grow, once established, with little more water than falls naturally during an Okanagan summer. Today, she is executive director of the non-profit Okanagan Xeriscape Association (OXA). The group offers workshops and has a website (www.okanaganxeriscape.org) rich with photos and details about plants and techniques for growing in the dry Okanagan. With support from the Okanagan Basin Water Board, the group also created the ‘Un-H2O” xeriscape demonstration garden in front of Kelowna’s H2O Fitness Centre. One of the suggestions of the water board’s Make Water Work program is to change-out at least a portion of the waterthirsty lawn surrounding our home or busi-
ness with drought-tolerant turf and/or native and low-water variety plants. Alternatives include ground covers such as junipers or thyme; mulched shrubbery such as ninebark, potentilla, saskatoons and lilacs; ornamental grasses; or colourful perennials. “Fall is an ideal time to plant,” adds Steele, but cautions that it’s important to group plants by their water needs. “Don’t add a drought tolerant plant to a garden bed that contains plants requiring regular watering. Neither will be happy or healthy.” For more information on turf-removal and xeriscape, visit the OXA website or sign up for an upcoming workshop. Details at www. okanaganxeriscape.org. With 24 per cent of all Okanagan water used on household lawns and gardens, and less water available per person than anywhere in Canada, valley residents are encouraged to reduce outdoor water use. Learn more at www.MakeWaterWork. ca. Make Water Work is an initiative of the Okanagan Basin Water Board and its Okanagan WaterWise program.

Mira marvellous Games medal champ KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
At a youthful 81, Mira Grypink took her swimming show to Langley, Edmonton and Montreal this summer and medalled everywhere. Grypink pocketed six individual gold medals and one silver and two bronze in relay races at the 27th B.C. Senior Games which ended Sunday in Langley. A mother of three with two grandchildren and two great grandchildren, the bubbly Grypink struck gold in the 25-, 50- and 100-metre breaststroke events and gold in the 50, 100 and 200 free. “The host city did a great job as there were over 3,500 athletes and their supporters going around in those four days,” said Grypink, who trains three times a week indoors. Born in Holland, Grypink emigrated to the Prairies in 1958 and moved to Vernon in 1964. She used to play water polo and swim the breastroke before taking time off to raise a family. “When I was 50, my doctor told me to go back in the pool again to help with my arthritis. I love swimming and I’m going to swim as long as I can.” While excited about her medals, she was even happier for buddy Loreen Merriman, 57. “It was her first-time competing and she won the 100 breast, was second in the 400 and free and third in the 50 back.” The Okanagan Similkameen finished sixth in a field of 13 zones with 90 gold and 193 total medals. In late August, Grypink uncovered four gold (50and 100-free, 50- and 100-breast) and one bronze
in the 200-relay at the Canada 55+ Games in Edmonton. “I went with three swimmers from Kelowna to these Games and we had a great time. They were well organized and this was our first time. We (the swimmers) brought back 13 gold, three silver and two bronze medals.” She also competed in Montreal in the Fina World Masters and won a silver in the 100 breast and helped the mixed 200 freestyle relay take silver. Grypink, who is headed to Utah for the World Senior Games in October, realizes being active leads to health and joy. “I think it’s important that as you get older, to stay involved in sports. I love meeting and seeing the people at all these Games; everybody’s smiling and happy.” In tennis at the Seniors Games, Carol Jenkins (Vernon) and Derek Turvey (Kelowna) produced gold in mixed doubles 65-69, while Marsha White and Jenkins garnered silver in women’s doubles 65-69. In men’s 60+ soccer, the Okanagan bowed 2-0 to Columbus of Vancouver in the gold-medal match. Al Bensmiller, Denis Chabot, Dave Hampton, Erv Schuur and Tim Penaluna represented Vernon on the silver-medalist team which gave up just one PHOTO SUBMITTED goal in four preliminary wins.

Vipers wrap up exhibition season with road draw The Vernon Vipers finished their successful exhibition season 3-1-1 following a 4-4 tie with the Prince George Spruce Kings in B.C. Hockey League play Saturday night at the Prince George Coliseum. “It was a game filled with powerplays and penalty kills; there wasn’t much fiveon-five played,” said Vipers’ interim coach Kevin Kraus. “It was a weird way to work on our special teams.” The Vipers clipped the Spruce Kings 4-3 in overtime Friday night at Kal Tire Place. Both teams came to an agreement both nights to play the unscheduled extra frames. With no winner after the first fiveminute, four-on-four period on Saturday, the game ended in a stalemate after five minutes of three-on-three. Vipers’ goal scorers in Prince George
WVB1794
were Trever Fider, Anthony Latina, Mackenzie Bauer and Linden Hora. J a r r o d Schamerhorn started both games in net against the Spruce Kings, but Kraus has Todosychuk already given the nod to Vernon product Danny Todosychuk for the opener. “We will see how it goes; we are going to use both guys this year,” said Kraus. The Vipers play for keeps Friday afternoon against the Cowichan Valley Capitals in Chilliwack at the Prospera Centre during the BCHL Showcase.
“It’ll be good. The Showcase is always exciting for our players. All the teams in our league will be there along with plenty of NCAA and NHL scouts,” said Kraus, who played for the Vipers from 2008-2010. “It’s also provides a great chance for us to see all the other teams in our league before we get to play them.” The Vipers will also meet the Victoria Grizzlies Saturday afternoon in Chilliwack. Kraus, who stepped in as head coach following Jason Williamson’s departure, has liked the way his team looked in the preamble to the regular season. “We are a hard-working team with an offensive ability. We work hard, we’re gonna score and take care of it on defence as well,” said Kraus. “We still haven’t really seen Liam (Coughlin) or Luke Shiplo in games yet and I know they are going to be a big add to our team.”
Shiplo has committed to Western Michigan Mustangs for next season and second-year Coughlin has been sidelined nursing bumps and bruises. The Vipers’ brass made their final cuts, releasing defencemen Chris Harpur from Ontario and Liam Feeny from Massachusetts. n Spruce Kings’ grad Jujhar Khaira had a goal and a fight in the first 40 minutes while Jackson Houck (fourth rounder in 2013), Mitch Holmberg, who put up 118 points with the Spokane Chiefs last year, and Kyle Platzer also scored as the Edmonton Oilers lost 5-4 to the Winnipeg Jets Monday at the NHL Young Stars camp in Penticton. The Oilers rookies, including former Vipers Connor and Kellen Jones, face the University of Alberta Golden Bears tonight in Edmonton. The Oilers went 2-1 in Penticton.

TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan Knights’ start to their Kootenay International Junior Hockey League season has resembled yin and yang. Following a 11-0 whitewashing by the Osoyoos Coyotes Friday night, the Knights skimmed the Golden Rockets 2-1 in double overtime Sunday afternoon at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. “We knew we had a big task on our hands with Golden. The boys came to the rink ready to work and we went out and did that,” said Knights’ goalie Mitch Profeit, who was the first star with 37 saves. “I am a little sore, it definitely takes a toll going to double overtime,” said Profeit. Profeit was spectacular early. He was giving no love with his glove, robbing several Rockets in close. He was sharper than a thumb tack making a variety of reaction saves on deflections, bouncing pucks and redirected shots. “I came to the rink three hours early today and worked with (tennis) balls and made sure I was seeing TYLER LOWEY/MORNING STAR the ball well,” said Profeit. North Okanagan Knights’ forward Tyler Mork dances in front of James Gaume of The Rockets finally cracked his armour when the Golden Rockets Sunday afternoon at Nor-Val Sports Centre. Spencer Gerth blasted a shot through his arm-hole vast open ice, they thought they had a breakaway when Gerth from Tanner Wit and Nic Noseworthy with 2:24 left knocked down a waist-high pass at the Knights’ blue line, but the in the second. The Knights (1-1), who were searching for their first win, scored linesman blew his whistle. “I didn’t think he was offside,” said Rockets’ head coach Raymond three minutes in on a give-and-go down low by Nathan Washington and Austin Garrington. The puck came out to Washington and he Johnson, whose bench was on the opposite side of the ice. An intentional offside resulted in an offensive faceoff for the snuck it past Rockets’ keeper Mitchell Privett, who made 31 saves. Tied at one after 60 mintues, the teams went into a five-minute Knights. Thomas Pattison won the draw clean to Garrington who overtime of four-on-four. Knights smooth-skating forward Logan Geefs had the best unleashed a bomb from the point, finding its way through Privett. “We just tried to keep it real simple in overtime; we don’t want to chance to play hero when he peeled the puck off the right boards in the Rockets’ zone, walked out and ripped a shot high, just missing make any errors, just wait for our opponent to make a mistake and then capitalize,” said Knights’ captain Dryden Profeit, Mitch’s older the corner. “Logan skated a mile out there today. He had a good game and a brother. Johnson was impressed by his teams’ play, but left desiring a betlot of our guys showed up and played really well,” said Knights’ coach ter fate.

Hillview’s Keith Vandenbrink lost a one-hole playoff to Brian MacDonald of Fairview Mountain in Friday’s final of the Canadian Desert Invitational at Osoyoos Golf Club. Vandenbrink rang up five birdies against four bogeys to shoot 1-under 71 on the Park Meadows course. On the playoff hole, Vandenbrink found the rough and MacDonald was on the fairway. The Hillview pro hit a flyer a couple yards long, while the Oliver pro hit to the back edge of the green. “My chip misses the flag and rolls 20 feet down the green, I miss the putt and tap in for bogey, while he lags from top of the green to three feet past the hole and makes a comebacker,” said Vandy. MacDonald pocketed $1,200, while Vandenbrink, who carded a 70 Thursday on the Desert track, earned $900. In the team event, Vandy, Jim Atmore and Betty Murray of Hillview and two guest players from Fairview, placed eighth and won portable wireless Bluetooth speakers. Meanwhile, Jamie Stevens of the Kelowna Golf & Country Club defeated Clay Stothers of the Okanagan Golf Club in a sudden-death playoff hole to win the Callaway Interior Pro Golf Tour stop Monday at Black Mountain. Both players carded 69s with Stevens pocketing $500 and Stothers earning $400. Vernon Golf & CC head pro Shannon Glenesk and former Vernonite Jesse Crowe, now at the Salmon Arm Golf & CC, each collected $300 for sharing third place at 70. The Kelowna Auto Sport Tour Championship goes Monday at the Kelowna Golf & CC. MacDonald leads the Order of Merit with 324 points, followed by Dean Claggett of Two Eagles in Kelowna with 254, Myles Johnson of Spallumcheen at 236 and Stothers with 232. Vandenbrink is ninth at 164.

Magnums torch Sun Devils Morning Star Staff
Ethan Mitchell scored on both sides of the ball as the Vernon Peters Tirecraft Magnums stopped the West Kelowna Sun Devils 49-13 in Southern Interior Pee Wee Football Conference play Sunday afternoon at sun-drenched Grahame Park. The Magnums broke the game wide open in the second quarter with three touchdowns from Mitchell, all from the quarterback spot. He also stripped a ball, while lining up at cornerback, and ran it back 40 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter. It was 25-6 Magnums at halftime. Running backs Kohl Killingbeck and Jaret Cooper both turned in bold showings, while the Magnum defence showed solid improvement. On West Kelowna’s next offensive play following Mitchell’s defensive score, linebacker Cooper snatched a loose ball and ran 70 yards for the second defensive TD of the quarter. Coach Ed Huber was especially pleased with the play of the defensive line and singled out a number of his players who had marvellous days, including Rasheed Hashi, Liam Gombrich, Gage Varney, Nathan Glessing, and Ryland Croswell. Next up for the Magnums is Kelowna this Sunday at Grahame Park. In Junior Bantam play, the Magnums lost 52-36 to hard-running West Kelowna. Carson Heming and Trey Winstanley both had a sack each, Logan Higgs led the team with four tackles and the dee line was strong with Heming and Devin Hofsink leading the way and getting penetration into the backfield. “It was a great day of learning for the defence and now they head into the week with some stuff to work
on and improve for the next game,” said coach Terry Winstanley. “The offence moved the ball all game long and the Sun Devils realized they were in a dog fight from the very beginning.” Added coach Jeff Anderson: “I was really proud of the offense all game long. They showed me they came to play and never once let up all the way to the last play. The standout players of the game were Zach Smith, Ethan Anderson and Isaiah Ondrik.” Anderson hooked up with his favorite receiver Smith for three touchdowns while passing for more than 150 yards and running for one touchdown. Smith recorded 12 receptions for around 150 yards, ran for one TD and threw for another score to Ondrik. Ondrik was also a beast playing tight end, setting blocks for the running backs and quarterbacks all day long. The O line also did a great job giving both Anderson and Smith time to throw. Riley MacGillivray had a stellar game running the ball and setting up passing plays. The Vernon Atom Magnums fell 36-6 to the Kelowna Lions in their home opener. The offensive line helped the Magnums run the ball for more than 200 yards with Carston Disher supplying 70 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Brady Devries ran for 50 yards and had two pass completions to Brayden Khun Khun for 16 yards. Reid Williamson picked up 25 yards on the ground. Nate Yablonski recovered a pair of fumble recoveries, while Hudson Kibblewhite earned one. Gunnar Nyberg posted two sacks and two tackles, Morgan Hackman had a sack and a tackle and Dominick Kitzman added 2 tackles.

The Vernon Home Building Center Vipers split a home and home series with the North Kamloops Lions in Midget Tier 1 exhibition hockey. Speedster Connor Johnston scored twice as Vernon won 5-4 Saturday in Kamloops, singles coming from Cameron Hitch, Braden Gilowski and Brady Marzocco. Reed Cashato and Easton Jones each had two assists in front of Connor Webb and Billy Cawthorn. The Blazers clipped the host Vipers 3-2 Sunday with Carl Main scoring first from Cashato and Hitch, and Zach Manton converting from Johnston. Tristan Quiring and Josh Evans shared net duties.

The Salmon Arm Female Midget A Silvertips opened up its exhibition season with a 3-1 win over Kelowna at the Capital News Centre. Kelowna opened the scoring early in the first on a great individual effort by Brooklyn Kostiuk. Vernon responded five minutes later when Samantha Maric (Vernon) pokechecked a Kelowna defender and Cailee Bauml (Vernon) fired the loose puck, low, far side. The Silvertips, coached by Rob Bauml of Vernon,

Monday at Kings Park. North Country Appraisals Kickers continued their fine late season play with a 2-1 (5-4) shootout victory over undefeated and defending champion Brown Benefits on a beautiful, sunny Sunday at Mission Sports Fields in Kelowna. Penticton and North Country meet in Sunday’s final, 1 p.m., at Mission #14. The undermanned Camels started the game with only 10 men and without their injured regular keeper Dave Dutcher. Steve Milne showed up late to give them 11. Penticton broke the scoreless deadlock when Kevin Kothlow beat substitute keeper Akbal Mund with a low corker. Mike Beliveau made it 2-0 on another low blast to end the half. The desperate Camels applied sustained pressure early in the second half and were rewarded when striker Gord Howard caught Penticton keeper Mike Killick too far off his line, placing a rocket over the keeper and below the crossbar. Kothlow then put Penticton up 3-1 by beating new keeper Rob Parkin, who hurt his groin so switched spots with Mund. Within a few minutes, goals by Brian Johnston and Ken Horncastle put the game out of reach. Meanwhile, Alves Bros. of Kelowna’s first division shut down North Enderby Timber of Vernon 5-0 in the 102nd Royal Cup final Saturday. It marked a threepeat for Alves Bros. Defender James Byra headed in the winner at 10 minutes. It was 3-0 at the half. Greg Godber and Sean Murphy added late goals. Midfielder/fullback Chris Ovens was Man of the Match for the Timber. Alves Bros. blanked Penticton Pinnacles 1-0 in the Kelowna Men’s League 35+ final Saturday on a goal by Dave Crawford. Vernon’s John Orton, Eric Ladner and Graham Ross played for Alves Bros. Orton and Ladner will join the 45+ Camels next season.

Bridge by Phillip Alder WE ALL LIVE AND LEARN DAILY James A. Froude, an English historian who died in 1894, said, “As we advance in life, we learn the limits of our abilities.” It is true that children think they know much more than they do. As we age, we realize that our parents and teachers weren’t as limited as we thought. And many feel that a day without learning something new is a day wasted. Bridge always seems to present new ideas. Take today’s deal as an example. South is in six diamonds. How should he handle the trump suit to maximize the chance of losing at most one trick? And suppose a wheel has come off and South is in
seven diamonds. Then what should he do? In the auction, North might have rebid three spades, which would have shown only two-card support because with three spades he would have responded two spades, not one no-trump. But with length and strength in the rounded suits, rebidding three no-trump was sensible. The only problem revolves around the trump suit. If South must play it for no losers, he has two choices: Cash his ace (hoping East has the singleton king) or lead dummy’s queen (hoping West has the singleton jack). Mathematically, they are equal. In six diamonds, though, I thought the best play was to cash the ace first. But
the free software package SuitPlay (suitplay.com) claims that starting with South’s nine is better. If West plays low, declarer ducks in the dummy. And if that loses to East’s jack, South cashes his ace next. The probability of success is 81.3 percent. One lives and learns.

Delia Marie Schryver January 16, 1930 - September 11, 2014 It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Delia, on September 11, 2014 in Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Mom was born in Riviere Qui Barre, AB on the family homestead. She was the last remaining sibling of 14 children.
MEMORIES ON DVD!
Mom & Dad were married in Lac La Biche, AB on March 1, 1949. Their Įrst few years of marriage were on the Schryver homestead in Thorhild, AB. They later moved to Edmonton and then on to Fort Smith, NWT for two years. They seƩled in Vernon in 1965 and remained there unƟl their passing.
Films, slides, photos & video transferred to DVD. ronmarchand49@gmail.com
Coming from a large musical family, mom played the organ, guitar and banjo as a young woman. She loved singing at family and social gatherings. Mom worked in retail for many years and also at the Vernon Lodge unƟl her forced reƟrement due to a bad ankle injury. It was aŌer that, she got her driver’s license at the age of 6ϯ. She was a member of the Army and Navy Air Force service club and enjoyed volunteering for that group. A Vernon Winter Carnival supporter, she also volunteered selling carnival memorabilia at the mall. Mom was acƟve with her bowling team and senior’s soŌball league. She was an avid Vernon Vipers fan who could frequently be heard using her custom-made cowbell to celebrate their goals. In her eyes, they could do no wrong. She was the same with the Vancouver Canucks and the Toronto Blue Jays. Watching TV wrestling, she raised the roof many Ɵmes as she verbalized her thoughts about the moves made against her favourites and the ref’s calls. Mom was compeƟƟve for ͞her teams”, but when it came to her own involvement, she enjoyed the fun and socializing of it. Crib was her game, and she won a few crib tournaments at her ouƟngs and at family reunions, as recently as August of 20lϯ. She loved to sew and her girls wore many homemade ouƞits that she designed, making the paƩerns from brown paper bags. She also embroidered beauƟful household linens. Wednesday aŌernoon social gatherings with friends were enjoyed at the Skyway Village club house, as well as Thursday evening Bingos. Mom was known to be a great dancer and she never passed up an opportunity to do so. She enjoyed her bus tours to Washington and Nevada states with friends, two Alaskan cruises, and one to the Panama Canal. Mom’s last two months of her life were spent at Creekside Landing in Assisted Living, where she fondly spoke of the staī and other residents. She loved her family uncondiƟonally, and she sacriĮced much for them. Mom was undeniably loved and respected as a mother, grandmother, GG, and friend. Predeceased by her parents, Henry and Zilda Plamondon, of Plamondon, AB; her husband, Allan in 1979; all of her siblings; one grandson; and many family members.

Preventing gang activity in BC
Off to school, and court
▾ MYTH: Gangs are only a “lower-class”, ethnic, or male problem: Reality: Gang members in B.C. come from every socio-economic background and all ethnicities. While racial, ethnic, and gender composition can vary by locality or type of gang, gangs are often as diverse as our communities and many do not restrict who joins as long as they can make money for the gang.
N
ow that a cease-fire has emerged from the latest round in the war for control of B.C.’s public school system, the next court battle is ready to proceed. Lawyers for the provincial government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation have filed their written submissions to the B.C. Court of Appeal. At issue is whether legislation removing union contract terms that dictated class size and teacher staff levels was a violation of members’ constitutional rights to freedom of association. When B.C. Supreme Court justice Susan Griffin found that it was, the government changed legislation again. The same judge ordered that struck down and the 2002 contract language reinstated retroTom Fletcher actively for every contract since then, imposed or negotiated. The government says that would create chaos as well as billions in expenses, pushing out fullday kindergarten and other allocations of space and money that have proceeded since union control was removed. Griffin’s order is stayed pending this appeal. If you think the latest strike has been disruptive, you don’t want to see what this judge’s vision would look like. Government lawyers argue that the BCTF’s constitutional right claim is “wrong in law” and amounts to a veto that blocks the province’s ability to legislate in response to changing conditions. “According to the BCTF, legislation may improve on collective agreement entitlements but cannot remove them over the objections of the union without violating [the Charter of Rights and Freedoms],” the government’s submission says. “On the BCTF’s theory, collective agreement entitlements become constitutionally protected in perpetuity.” What that would mean to voters is when they throw out an NDP government that handed the keys to the treasury to public sector unions, the unions can veto that too. And when mandated

minimum teacher-librarians sitting in rooms full of paper books become the equivalent of buggy whip weavers, they must remain as long as the union wants. BCTF’s lawyers submit that the government is wrong in fact as well as law. Its arguments are technical, dwelling particularly on the fact that the government didn’t appeal Griffin’s first ruling. For instance, there have actually been two negotiated deals since 2002. The one in 2006 provided five years of raises and a bonus to get the government past the 2010 Olympics, and in 2012 there was a pre-election truce negotiated with the help of mediator Charles Jago. The government argues that re-imposing 2002 conditions would overturn other contracts that were agreed to by the BCTF. BCTF’s lawyers say, in effect, the deleted terms covering working conditions weren’t there to negotiate. The Coalition of B.C. Businesses has entered the case as an intervener, arguing for the supremacy of elected governments when providing public services. Its submission notes that unlike private disputes, the right to strike is often curtailed in the public sector, and sometimes eliminated as in the case of police and health care. “When critical aspects of public policy are jeopardized by employee demands, those aspects could be legislated; where a fiscal downturn or inflationary pressures required austerity measures, they could be implemented through legislation; where strikes jeopardize important public services, the legislature could pass backto-work legislation, and so on.” It’s been obvious for many years that the BCTF doesn’t function like a normal union, and isn’t much interested in starting to do so. Its leadership sees itself as an agent of “social justice,” a belief demonstrated by its promotion of flawed poverty statistics and pronouncements on everything from U.S. labour law to conflict in the Middle East. Its decades-old instruction to government is blunt: raise taxes and give us the money. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Swim bans lifted Morning Star Staff
Swimming advisory signs posted last month in Lake Country at two Wood Lake beaches have been taken down. Precautionary advisories affecting Reiswig Regional Park and Beasley Park took effect Aug. 13 as a result of samples that indicated poor water quality due to increased bacteria levels. “Interior Health has now indicated that recent test samples show water quality has again returned to acceptable, safe levels under the Guidelines for Canadian Recreational Water Quality,” said RDCO communications officer Bruce Smith.

Sleep is the new Viagra! Do you want to enhance family relationships, improve your health and get that new promotion? Perfect – time to take a nap then! Sleep is the most valuable supplement, potent smoothie ingredient, and best self-help book out there. A deep, uninterrupted night’s sleep is the best aphrodisiac for life I can ever recommend. Your home (especially your bedroom) can support good sleep - or prevent it: either way, you will feel the effects. When you sleep, your body can refuel its energy and refocus your intent like nothing else on this earth – unless it is being disturbed. If you experience disturbed sleep, we should talk. In the meantime, change the bed sheets, reposition the bed, remove the laptop and iphone, and for goodness sake, take out that TV! You can even try sleeping in a different room, and see how you feel. Remember, if you want change, then you need to make a change!

Why is it important to understand what my Mortgage offers?
The mortgage terms and conditions (rules) vary from one Lender to another and the differences can cost consumers more in penalties than in the past. With mortgage rates being so low: a great rate is quickly minimized if your penalty is based on another interest rate of the Lenders choice should you be forced to break the mortgage early. We are seeing a lot of mortgage features stripped away with the ultra low rates, so be sure to ask: 1) How is my penalty calculated to pay out the mortgage if I need to sell? 2) What method of calculation is being applied? Watch for the Posted Rate of interest and any discount that was granted, this will increase your penalty substantially. The best calculation is the discount rate you were given compared to the discounted rate at the time of payout or time remaining in your term. 3) What is the prepayment I am able to apply to my mortgage each year and if I sell my home can I apply my prepayment at that time to reduce my penalty? 4) Is my mortgage portable to a new home, and if I need a higher mortgage how will that affect my interest rate 5) Can I Blend my rate and extend the term of the agreement if I need to? This option is no longer offered at a few major Banks. Mortgage prepayment charges are really important to consumers and it is crucial to understand the true cost up front. A Mortgage is a legal contract and if you have any questions, you should see a lawyer who can explain the document to you in detail before you accept the Mortgage. E&O/OAC

Tips for living with Arthritis: • Ask for easy open, wide bottles for your prescriptions. These are easier to hold and use.
• Warm-up and cool-down before and after exercising. • Wear proper shoes and use canes or walkers if required to relieve some of the strain.
• Maintain a healthy weight to put less stress on your joints.
• Heat therapy can relax aching muscles and • •
increase circulation. Some people even heat their clothes in the dryer before putting them on! Cold therapy helps reduce inflammation and pain. Arthritis creams and medications can help reduce pain and improve the activities of daily life.
Please call one of our helpful pharmacists if you have more questions about arthritis and how we may be able to help you.

Over 4.5 million Canadians are affected by some type of Arthritis. The term Arthritis is derived from the Greek words meaning “joint inflammation”. Over 100 conditions are associated with Arthritis ranging in intensity from temporarily mild to permanently debilitating. Arthritis may affect older individuals as well as infants, and is considered a major cause of disability in Canada. The two most common types are Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis.
My hair dryer is loud. Can a hair dryer harm hearing?
Yes, your hearing can be harmed by sudden loud noises or by continuous noise over time. The louder the noise, the faster damage can occur. If you notice any ringing or change in your hearing immediately after using your hair dryer, then it may be causing damage to your hearing.

Divorce is granted in Canada for one reason. Marriage breakdown. Marriage breakdown is based on one of the following 3 “grounds.” There are just three grounds for marriage breakdown: Cruelty or Adultery, or Separation for one year. Any one of them is sufficient for divorce. You do not need to have more than one ground. Separation for one year: You have lived “separate and apart” for a year having decided the marriage is over. Living “separate and apart” does not necessarily mean living in separate homes. You can live separate and apart while sharing a home. It is also possible to claim that although you only recently moved out and live in a different home, the marriage broke down and was essentially over at some time in the past, regardless of living arrangements You do not need a separation agreement to prove separation.

Q: A:
What is our deepest fear? One of my favourite quotes from Marianne Williamson, answers this beautifully:
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Q:
What is radon & how do I test for it?
A:
Radon is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas that occurs naturally in the earth’s crust. It is a product of the decay of uranium. The radon gas itself is not a problem but its decay products are. These radioactive products can attach themselves to the lung tissue when radon gas is inhaled; this can cause lung cancer. The risk is higher with greater exposure, & the effects are long term rather than immediate. Radon which escapes into the air is not a problem as it is quickly diluted. However, when radon becomes trapped in a home it can rise to levels of concern, especially during the winter months when ventilation is at a minimum. Radon can enter a home through cracks in basement floors and walls, openings around pipes or other penetrations in the basement walls and floors. It can also enter through exposed earth in crawlspaces and basements. There are several ways to test for radon gas. A charcoal canister can be used to absorb radon from the air; there are filtering systems where air is pumped through a filter, trapping radon particles. There are grab-sample testers which allow for a quick air sample. These all require the use of a lab to analyze the samples. There is also a radon detector that is similar to a smoke or CO detector that can measure radon levels. Since radon levels can vary at different times of the day & seasons, longer testing times are better. Winter testing is more reliable than summer testing. If you find that there are high levels of radon in your home there a number of different ways to deal with it. For more information contact me or look on the Health Canada or CMHC websites.
