Body found under bridge on 25th Ave. ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Foul play has been ruled out in the death of a Vernon man whose body was found Monday afternoon near a local park. While investigating an unrelated complaint at a nearby motel, police officers were informed that an unconscious man had been discovered beneath a bridge at Linear Park in the 3500 block of 25th Avenue at around 5:30 p.m. “One of our officers attended and found a 55-year-old unconscious man there,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk Tuesday morning. “Our officer conducted CPR on him until emergency health services arrived.” The man was transported to Vernon Jubilee Hospital where he was pronounced dead. “No signs of trauma or foul play were found at the scene,” said Molendyk. “The investigation continues to determine the cause of death. The early indications are drugs may have been involved. “ The coroner was advised and is working with Vernon RCMP. No name had been released as of Tuesday, though Molendyk said the man was from Vernon, and had contact with the RCMP on several occasions.

RCMP rescue lost hiker in Spallumcheen ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

The keen smell of a police service dog helped find a lost hiker in Spallumcheen. The dog also helped the hiker and its handler walk safely out of the bush in the pitchblack conditions. An officer from Armstrong was dispatched to the end of Reservoir Road in Spallumcheen at approximately 9 p.m. Saturday after the hiker contacted police on his cell phone to say

he had passed the reservoir and was lost. “He dropped his cell phone in some water so now the phone was only working intermittently and was low on battery power,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The officer attended after obtaining a key to the locked gate, and a police service dog and handler were called to assist in tracking the lost hiker. “They tracked up the hillside while maintaining cell phone contact with the 23-year-

old Armstrong man. “The hiker was recovered and escorted back down to his vehicle,” said Molendyk. “There were no injuries and emergency health services was not required.” The man was spoken to about the dangers of hiking beyond “Do Not Enter” gates, as well as hiking in the late afternoon in to dusk by himself. “He was appreciative for the officers’ efforts and rescue,” said Molendyk.

To keep things running, there is an army of people working behind the scenes. “There was an incredible number of hours put in by my board of directors and there were 450 to 475 volunteers and it’s incredible the hours they put in to make the fair successful,” said Burns. With this year’s fair over, there will be a brief break before Burns gets back to work. “I’m already planning for next year, little things like missing signs or did we have enough supplies?” he said.

The 114th annual Interior Provincial Exhibition is a wrap. By the time the gates closed Sunday, 149,782 people had attended the Armstrong fair over the five days. “We had great crowds,” said Bryan Burns, general manager. There were 150,170 at the fair in 2012, and the slight drop this year is related to rain Thursday. The busiest day was Saturday with 49,182 people, followed by 39,789 Sunday, 28,785 Friday, 16,105 Thursday and 15,921 Wednesday. “The highlight was the people who come back year after year,” said Burns, adding, though, that there were also a lot of new faces walking the grounds. “I talked to Miss Rodeo Canada and this was her first time here. She said, ‘Bar none, this is the best fair I’ve been to all year.’” Steady crowds checked out the exhibits, including livestock, horticulture, crafts and baking. The commercial booths also proved popular. “People loved the rodeo and the lumberjack show was packed Saturday and

Their hogs are free to roam the large outdoor paddocks. A vegetable grain-based diet, predominantly grown right on the farm, is free of antibiotics and animal by-products. Many cuts of pork are lean and can be part of your healthy diet. Trimmed pork is suitable for even cholesterol-lowering or “heart-healthy” diets. We now know pork can be cooked safely to (160°F/71°C) or less, which produces a juicy and tender product. The exception is ground pork and sausage, which like all ground meats, should be cooked thoroughly. At Askew’s we have a complete range of pork products including chops, steaks and roasts.

At least one Vernon politician isn’t impressed with lobbying efforts to restore funding for a historic site. O’Keefe Ranch is urging residents to contact the City of Vernon and demand that full funding be maintained. “It’s fine to issue a press release but it should have been accompanied by strategies to be self-sufficient,” said Coun. Brian Quiring. “Telling everyone to phone their local politician is not the right approach. We want to see a significant effort by the ranch to increase revenue.” In May, council voted to continue with a $150,000 annual grant for the city-owned historic site. But in 2014, that will drop to $100,000, followed by $50,000 in 2015 and

O’Keefe Ranch is publicly campaigning against City of Vernon funding cuts. $10,000 in 2016. “Council made the right decision,” said Quiring. “The ranch needs to work towards being sustainable on its own.” In a release, the ranch states it supports the economy through 15,000 visitors annually, while also employ-

ing 18 seasonal staff. It also promotes the area through special events and provides an educational program to 3,000 students a year. “Vernon city council’s decision to reduce funding for the continued operations of the ranch is wrong,” said Glen Taylor, general

Joe Sardinha is being remembered for his passion for the Okanagan and its signature tree fruit industry. Sardinha, who died Saturday at age 52, was on the B.C. Fruit Growers Association executive for 11 years, including seven as president until 2012. “It’s a great loss to our industry,” said Jeet Dukhia, a BX orchardist and current BCFGA president. “He had a lot of years left to give to the industry.” A Summerland resident, Joe Sardinha Sardinha spent considerable time trying to convince governments at all levels that the tree fruit industry is worth investing in because of the significant economic returns to the valley. He also pressured grocers and consumers to embrace Okanagan grown fruit. “He was a tireless advocate for the industry. He never missed an opportunity to bend your ear,” said Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA. “He was a gentleman and he identified problems and then he identified solutions. He could be a pitbull but he was always positive and I always appreciated that.” The industry has gone through significant challenges in recent years, including low prices, international competition and a shrinking land base. However, Sardinha remained upbeat about the future. “If you don’t have any optimism, you’re putting up the white flag and the industry has been around too long to do that. Anyone interested in the industry is not prepared to surrender,” he said in a 2012

interview. Dukhia believes it’s critical to maintain Sardinha’s sense of hope. “He was really positive and you have to be positive in this industry. We’re working hard to bring the industry back. Joe always said we could do better,” said Dukhia. A funeral service will be held Sept. 14 at 11 a.m. at Holy Child Catholic Church in Summerland.

Campaign demands expanded transit richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Vernon residents have taken pen to paper in a battle to have transit service expanded. Winnifred Hibbert and a group of likeminded citizens have col-

lected 2,300 names so far on a petition demanding that transit run from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. seven days a week. “The buses don’t run on holidays and yet people work then, and they only run from 11 a.m.

to 4 p.m. on Sundays and people work,” said Hibbert. “And if people working in the evening, there is no bus to get home. They have to walk across town.” While she is a senior,

Hibbert says she is concerned about the impact the current transit service is having on those trying to earn a living. “The buses don’t run adequately for the working crowd. If it catered to them, the service would pay for itself.” The petition will be given to Vernon council Sept. 23 and Hibbert plans to put some pressure on officials. “I want them to park their cars for four months and use the bus system totally for everything,” she said. “They can get a firsthand view of what people put up with.” Coun. Patrick Nicol says the city will consider Hibbert’s petition when it is presented. “I applaud her for taking up the cause,” he said, adding the city has put considerable resources into transit. “We have expanded the service more than other communities. We have tried to add numbers and routes to it.” Nicol admits more could be done. “We won’t get the

“It’s really a matter of cost,” said Nicol, adding that the provincial budget is a critical component.

Targeted operation results in arrests roger knox Morning Star Staff

Vernon RCMP officers were on target Saturday. Members of a targeted policing unit executed a search warrant in a unit at the Green Valley Motel in the 2500 block of 25th Avenue Saturday. The warrant was directed at the alleged trafficking activities of several suspects, and resulted in the arrest of a number of people.

Two men, aged 31 and 24, were held in custody. “A 24-year-old had outstanding warrants and was wanted for breach of conditions, and the other man, 31, is well-known to police,” said Molendyk. “He is being held for possession for the purpose of trafficking in a controlled substance.” RCMP officers did find drugs and paraphernalia in the motel unit during the search. The motel and its occupants

had been under police watch for some time. “Targeted policing means a group of officers will go after the prolific offenders in the community,” explained Molendyk. “They are the individuals that help crime levels rise within our community. They’re the more active ones and we’re targeting them.” The arrested pair were slated to appear in Vernon Provincial Court Tuesday.

Quiet Armstrong fair for RCMP officers roger knox Morning Star Staff

Aside from someone trying to remove a scissor lift from the grounds, it was a pretty quiet time for RCMP officers at the 114th annual Interior Provincial Exhibition in Armstrong.

“We did have a report of somebody trying to take a scissor lift down the road and out of the grounds at one point,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “Somebody also tried to remove a bike. There were a few thefts and attempted thefts

reported from the grounds over the five days of the fair.” Several fair-goers also spent time in RCMP cells for being intoxicated. “We had extra officers working and for the most part everyone was well behaved,” said Molendyk.

Labour Day traffic keeps officers busy roger knox Morning Star Staff

People seemed to be in a hurry to get to their respective homes Monday. North Okanagan RCMP officers were busy on the long weekend conducting traffic stops on Highways 97 and 97A, as well as various points throughout the city. On Labour Day, police worked a little bit more as they issued 51 speeding tickets. Overall during their four-day campaign, police issued 101 speeding tickets. “The campaign was aimed at speed, as well, officers were looking for seatbelt and using electronic device offences,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. RCMP ticketed two motorists for excessive

speed. One motorist was going 67 kilometres/hour over the posted limit, the other was clocked at 54 km/h above the limit. A total of 33 motorists over the four-day initiative were ticketed for seatbelt violations. Four people were caught using a cell phone. Police issued 75 other violations and wrote 28 notice and orders, meaning there was likely some kind of defect on the vehicle. On Tuesday, school started in the North Okanagan.

RCMP are reminding motorists that school speed zones are now in effect from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday. Police also caution drivers to be aware that school buses are now stopping regularly on the roads during their routes. “It is illegal to pass a school bus when its red lights are flashing, and you will receive a ticket,” said Molendyk. “We just want motorists to be careful. We want to start the school year off on a good, happy, healthy note.”

Farewell Joe

oe Sardinha was a humble guy. He considered himself, above all else, an orchardist. The son of Portuguese immigrants, he grew up on the family farm in Summerland and took over the 11 acres when he was ready to develop a career for himself 33 years ago. “I have put a lot of effort into this orchard. When you have 11 acres, you know every tree personally,” he said during a 2012 interview. But while Sardinha was more comfortable climbing ladders and pruning, there was far more to him than met the eye. Sardinha, who died suddenly Saturday at the age of 52, was truly a leader and a visionary in the Okanagan’s tree fruit sector. Richard Rolke Over 11 years on the B.C. Fruit Growers Association executive, including seven as president, he fought tirelessly for the industry. “I want to prove to the naysayers that the industry isn’t done. There is still an opportunity to be a success,” he said. Sardinha was known for his smile and warm handshake, but he could be tenacious and to the point when dealing with government officials and particularly those bureaucrats who didn’t understand the economic importance of tree fruits. He grew particularly frustrated with the shrinking budget within B.C.’s agriculture ministry. “The province continues to lag behind other provinces in its support of agriculture,” he said. He also had little time for retailers who sell imported fruit, often at a lower price than domestic produce.

“Retailers have to realize consumers are looking for local product. They are losing a great marketing tool,” he said. Sardinha was a people person and it wasn’t unusual to find him surrounded by a large crowd. His personality was infectious. He didn’t have any problems putting on a jacket and tie and hobnobbing with politicians, but he was at his best when he was one-on-one with growers walking among trees and talking shop. In July 2009, he surveyed the damage after a torrential hail storm ripped apart entire apple crops throughout Vernon’s BX area. He wore the pain just as if it was his own. “It’s very demoralizing. On the day it happens, you feel very lost,” he said. Sardinha gained the respect of growers throughout the valley and his approach has been followed by Vernon’s Jeet Dukhia, who as the present BCFGA president, has defended the interest of farmers devastated by weather this summer. There’s no question that the Okanagan’s tree fruit sector has seen better days. Even with record high prices right now, the cost of production is forcing many growers to consider their future. Foreign competition, government indifference and a consumer base focused more on price than quality are constant hurdles to overcome. But despite the doom and gloom, Sardinha remained upbeat. “If you don’t have any optimism, you’re putting up the white flag and the industry has been around too long to do that. Anyone interested in the industry is not prepared to surrender,” he said. Sardinha was a genuine advocate not only for his industry but for the entire Okanagan. He will be missed.

Following all the summer sun and fun, it can be difficult to settle in to the back-toschool routine. Rushing to get the kids out the door and yourself to work is a major issue among parents. So in an effort to get everyone where they’re going, hopefully somewhat on time, many forget to slow down around town. It’s easy enough to do, since school zones haven’t been in effect all summer. So some of the routes you are accustomed to travelling 50 km/h on are now 30. School zones are now in effect Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Along with the school zones the big yellow school buses rolled back out onto the roads for another year. Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP remind motorists that the buses are now running their regular routes, which means frequent stops to pick up and drop off students. They are also reminding motorists it is illegal to pass a school bus when the vehicle’s red lights are flashing. Passing the bus if the red lights are flashing is a ticketable offence. Students who are walking to classes are reminded to use the sidewalks, cross the streets when it is safe to do so, and use pedestrian lights when available. If everyone exercises caution, the roadways will be safer for drivers and student pedestrians alike. “We just want people to be careful,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “We want to have a safe, good, happy, healthy start to the school year.”

Look up for highway solution

fter all of the talk about a bypass around Vernon, it will never happen in my lifetime. This council and future councils are not going to go that route because of the cost and I can see their point. What is the solution? The answer is an elevated highway starting at the DND grounds and terminating just past 48th Avenue. The distance is 3.5 kilometres and this could be increased if needed. This would be only for traffic that would not be stopping in Vernon. There would be no need for traffic lights as this is one way on and off. The cost would still be in the millions to build but nowhere near the cost of a bypass. There will be people who will not like it but this is happening in the cities and now it's a way of life. Eric Foster and city council, let's grab the bull by the horns and let's run with this. roy burgess

vjh parking In reply to Barb Chapman, I recently had to visit the hospital because my toe was in need of treatment and was extremely sore and bleeding. In vain, I tried to get a ticket. I tried four times with my credit card and no ticket. Then I had to run around the hospital looking for the change machine in extreme pain all while hoping I did not miss my turn to go in. I put in the cash and guess what, no ticket. Another person was at the meter and was also having problems. I was just about to walk away and the machine spits out a ticket. Unbelievable. I then proceeded back into the hospital. I had missed my turn and a nice man who was also waiting mentioned they had called my name and I could go in. I received excellent care inside the hospital and was out in 30 minutes. A few weeks later, I received my credit card bill and had been billed three times for the same parking ticket. I called them up and of course they made it out as my fault. The woman on the end of the phone said I had to give the machine more time, so it’s not the machine, it’s myself and all of the other people who are the cause of the problem. She did refund two of the three charges even though I did pay four times. It was the pain and frustration I will remember most. My advice is to park far away from the hospital on a residential street even though it is farther away. You will do less walking in the end and save money. Stuart plant

downtown meterS We were visiting Vernon a few weeks ago. In the downtown area they have installed some new parking meters. Did a giant install those? I have a picture of my husband who is five-foot-four standing on his toes trying to read the meter. My girlfriend who lives in Vernon is five feet tall and didn't have a chance. Anyway, we thought it was comical but stupid at the same time. Just giving someone the heads up before they put them everywhere. kim Laporte Scooter Safety I do not understand why we have a community that is attacking longboarders when we have no one saying anything about the people on electric scooters. When we have a bicycle or motorcycle, we are required by law to wear a helmet. When we have a motorcycle, we are required to have a license. The law states we are not legally supposed to drive on sidewalks when we ride a bicycle or a motorcycle. Why are there no laws in place for electric scooters? I am a 58-year-old woman and I do know that I will be a senior soon and will maybe experience the loss of mobility or independence, or both. But, because I am a senior, that doesn't give me the right to do whatever I want and rip around like a banshee on the sidewalks and have total disregard for pedestrians. When we drive a car or a scooter, it is

COUPON PULL-OUT

a privilege, not a given and we should be grateful for that. Electric scooters are one of the biggest reasons I do not shop in downtown Vernon. Personally, I think there should be something done about this and helmets should be mandatory. I do know a lot of people are not going to like what I have said, but that is the way I see it. gail Lapp bypaSS Re Mr. Smith's comments on a Vernon bypass. He is quite right about Vernon spending money on being a destination point, rather then just a by-chance stop, with the new sports complex being a good start, which should generate a lot of money spent at local businesses That said, though, I feel we really need a bypass with all of the Highway 97 improvements, the growth in population and the huge increase in truck traffic compared to 50 years ago, plus the increase that's to come. But, not on the west side of the lake. Just come in from the south, somewhere between the Predator Ridge turn-off and the dump, up, over and down though the western part of town and out to the rail overpass north of town. Yes, it will cost, but cheaper now then later as it will just cost more as time goes on. As the highway is now federal as well as provincial, and the fed's own the DND

property, using a piece of it on the western boundary should help cut the cost. But at the present, a pedestrian overpass on Hospital Hill would sure help. With the weight and size the of the trucks being what they are today, we are very lucky that there haven't been people killed on that hill. But mark my word, it's going to happen if we don't make some fixes soon. frank adams

Jazz club doesn’t open to just any Random Act AMANDA MORAZAIN For The Morning Star

The walls will be bouncing with the energetic sounds of Rann Berry and The Random Act at the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday. The Random Act features Berry on lead vocals, Gord Frie on tenor and baritone sax, Mike Schell on trumpet, Chris Manuel on trombone, Dana Barnes on piano, Michael Fic, vocals and bass, and Scott Gamble on drums. This high-paced seven-piece band will have the audience grooving to classics from the ‘60s and ‘70s, including Hard Day’s Night (The Beatles), I Shot the Sheriff (Bob Marley/Eric Clapton), and Superstition (Stevie Wonder). Although Rann’s music is influenced by a variety of styles such as rock, R&B, funk, and swing, it was classic rock which really caught his attention at a young age. “I was first drawn to classic rock, like any kid our age listening to radio and wanting to be the next Beatle. Rock was new and exciting,” said Berry. And the music still is exciting. So much so that Berry and The Random Act have been busy touring B.C. with their Vegasstyle theatre show One Hit Wonders. This show is complete with dancers and is a full musical journey to the past.

Rann Berry (fourth from left) and his band The Random Act open the Vernon Jazz Club’s 2013-14 season with a high-energy performance Saturday. Don’t let their name fool you. There is nothing random about the way this band performs. They are super tight and full of confident energy. One of the reasons for this cohesiveness is that the members of the rhythm section have been playing together for 20 years. The Random Act has opened for Colin

James, Trooper, Randy Bachman, Loverboy, April Wine, and Crash Test Dummies to name but a few. Schell is the co-founder and leader of the Uptown Hornz who just recently celebrated their 10-year anniversary of touring. This past summer the group played at the East 542 Music Festival opening for Steve Augeri

(former lead vocalist of Journey) and Fran Cosmo (Boston). Manuel was born and raised in Penticton and is also a co-founder of Uptown Hornz. He has been a clinician, musician, and adjudicator in the Canadian Forces Reserves and has spent time touring Europe. Frie is an award winning music educator and performer. He holds a master’s degree in music from Washington State University and can also be heard touring with the Uptown Hornz. Barnes is also an educator. He teaches history and music at secondary school and is the leader of Easy Fix, a five-piece dance band out of Kelowna. Fic has travelled the world performing on cruise ships and is Diamond Jack for the tributes to Tom Jones and Neil Diamond. Gamble is comfortable playing in any style. He is in high demand for both live and studio work and plays many genres in multiple bands. He was named musician of the year at the 2006 B.C. Interior Music Awards and is also a successful graphic artist. Rann Berry and The Random Act take the stage at the Vernon Jazz Club (3000-31st St.) Saturday at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:15. Tickets are $20 at the Bean Scene, Bean to Cup and at www.vernonjazz.ca.

Mud kicks off film society’s 30th season Contributed to The Morning Star

The Vernon Film Society is pleased to be starting its 30th season with films being shown at the Towne Cinema downtown. We can look forward to some memorable shows from Europe and North America all fall. Regular showings will be every other week, with a fall film festival Nov. 4 to 7. The first film of the season Monday will be Mud, an American film directed by Jeff Nichols (Take Shelter) and starring Matthew McConaughey in one of his strongest roles to date. The film is a coming-of -age story with themes similar to Huckleberry Finn and Great Expectations in which young men are involved with complex older characters who influence their outlook on life and adolescence in many ways.

Lionsgate

Matthew McConaughey with his young co-stars, Tye Sheridan and Jacob Lofland, are receiving acclaim for their roles in Mud. The film screens at the Vernon Towne Cinema Monday. The two boys in the movie, Ellis (Tye Sheridan) and Neckbone (Jacob Lofland), are exploring along the Mississippi when they stumble upon a boat

stranded in a tree on a small island. Its inhabitant, Mud (McConaughey), claims to be on the run from Texas bounty hunters after killing a man. He

is attempting to reunite with his true love, Juniper (Reese Witherspoon), and the boys agree to help him, not realizing this could be dangerous. There are great contrasts with the wildness of the river, the local town and the families of the two boys who are all going through difficulties. This is a true coming-of-age story with memorable images and is steeped in the sense of place of the Deep South. As one Los Angeles Times critic stated: “(This is) one of the most rewarding movies to come along this year.” There is some coarse language and violence. Mud shows at the Vernon Towne Cinema Monday at 5:15 and 7:45 p.m. All seats are $7, with tickets on sale one week prior at the theatre and the Bean Scene coffee house.

The apple harvest begins Morning Star Staff

Davison Orchards is offering a host of events on their farm to celebrate the September harvest. Apple picking is now in full swing on the farm and the Davisons would like to invite local families into the orchard to try picking their own apples, every weekend in September. “All kids just seem to love to do things for themselves,” says Tamra Davison, marketing director. “So this year we have some new tour options that lets even toddlers have their very own bag and pick their very own apples.” Getting kids out on to the farm is a natural way for them to learn all about farming and how things grow. “My grandson tried it and was proud to report, ‘I picked

this apple all by mine self!’ “Plus, it’s fun and a great way to enjoy an Okanagan September,” said Davison. Another option is Toddler Tours the morning of Sept. 10, with an apple-picking experience catered just for kids under five years. The morning will end with a fall story time in the Kids Corral. On top of the tours, The Davisons will also be offering free sampling and cooking demos focusing on a different crop every weekend including tomatoes, squash and of course, apples. More details can be found on their website, www.davisonrochards.ca. The farm is open every day until Oct. 31 and is at 3111 Davison Rd., Vernon, just off Bella Vista Road.

look, I found that it came from my four o’clock plants next to the back door. They are also known by the name Mirabilis. Mirabilis is a Latin adjective meaning “amazing, wondrous, remarkable.” My neighbour had them growing in a large pot about three years ago and saved some seeds for me. The seeds are black and look like little grenades. Last year I grew some and saved my seeds. This year I only started a few plants but I surely will have more next year. The flowers usually open from late afternoon onwards, then producing a strong, sweet-smelling fragrance, hence the first of its common names four o’clock. The flowers are pollinated by long-tongued moths of the Sphingidae family, such as the sphinx moths or hawk moths and other nocturnal pollinators attracted by the fragrance. I had the chance of witnessing them on the flowers a few times. They only come when it starts to be dark. One of them was about the size of a humming bird. A curious aspect of this plant is that flowers of different colours can be found simultaneously on the same plant. Additionally, an individual flower can be splashed with different colours. Another

interesting point is a colour-changing phenomenon. For example, in the yellow variety, as the plant matures, it can display flowers that gradually change to a dark pink colour. Similarly white flowers can change to light violet. Habitat and cultivation. Mirabilis jalapa hails from South America, but has become naturalized throughout tropical and warm temperate regions. In cooler temperate tropical, it will die back with the first frosts, regrowing in the following spring from the tuberous roots. The plant does best in full sun. It grows to approximately 0.9 m in height. The singleseeded fruits are spherical, wrinkled and black upon maturity, having started out greenish-yellow. The plant will self-seed, often spreading rapidly if left unchecked in a garden. Some gardeners recommend that the seeds should be soaked before planting, but this is not totally necessary. And for a bonus, I never experienced any problems or bugs on this plant. How much more can you ask. The Okanagan Roses and Garden Club will resume its meeting Sept. 9 at Schubert Centre at 7.30 p.m. All are welcome. For more information: 250-558-4556.

impacted and continue to be impacted in a positive way by these simple principals. Teachings that go beyond the four agreements that have been developed from more than 20 years of study and shamanistic exploring with don Miguel Ruiz will be presented by Gary van Warmerdam at the upcoming Fall Conference of the Canadian Society of Questers. Gary’s path has lead him to find practical ways to apply the Four Agreements towards the pursuit of happiness and he will share those insights in his keynote address Sept. 27 at 7 p.m. and during an all-day work-

shop Sept. 29 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Salmon Arm Prestige Harbourfront Inn. The conference line-up “Embracing Change” features international top-notch presenters of timely topics including dowsing, how to improve eyesight, tapping into the future and how to activate the powers of the heart. For more information and to register for the whole conference or for individual sessions see www.questers.ca and click on Fall Conference. Carol Heywood is president and conference coordinator, Canadian Society of Questers.

Course will teach Ruiz’ The Four Agreements Many years ago I read a small book titled The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom by don Miguel Ruiz. The truth revealed in the simple philosophies that were based on ancient Toltec teachings, impacted and changed my life profoundly and I still live according to that wisdom. Very few other things have influenced my life in such a powerful way. The 20-year popularity and millions of sales of the book are certainly testimonial to the fact that many others have been

he holidays are over and the kids are back in school. We just had a fantastic long weekend and everything in the garden is going strong. This is now the harvest season for grapes and many other fruits. Our raspberries are ripening well now after a break in early August. This year we will have a very good second crop because of the heat of summer. A few years back, I got two thornless blackberry plants. The berries are large and sweet. The problem is that the Jocelyne Sewell little ants also like them so I have to give them a few and take the rest. We are harvesting our grapes. The birds and the wasps are very fond of these. The harvest was enough that I didn’t mind sharing with the birds. This is their dessert after the sunflower seeds. The other night as I bent down to pick something on the ground, I was amazed at the sweet perfume emanating from some plants. As I had a closer

originated in South America where seeds of a wild variety are believed to date back to 5,000 B.C. The various coloured bell peppers all come from the same plant, but differ in their level of maturity. Green peppers are harvested before they are fully ripe, one reason they are less expensive than other varieties. Green bell peppers will continue to first turn yellow and then red if they are left on the plant to mature. They have a slightly bitter flavor and will never have the sweet taste of their red, yellow and orange counterparts. Red peppers are more mature than green, orange or yellow bell peppers. They are rich in carotenoid phytonutrients and contain almost eleven times more beta-carotene than green bell peppers as well as one and a half times more vitamin C. Red bell peppers have a sweet, almost fruity taste. Pimento and paprika are both prepared from red bell peppers. Today I have two stuffed pepper recipes you may like to try.

bottom of a large deep casserole dish. Add all the filling ingredients to a mixing bowl, along with the reserved onions, and stir with a fork, or your hands, until the mixture is combined. Tip: you can cook a small piece of the filling to test the seasoning. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to remove the stem, seeds and white membrane from each pepper. Place the bell peppers in the casserole dish, and fill each pepper with the stuffing. A little additional cheese can be grated over the top if desired. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake, uncovered, for another 20-30 minutes, or until the peppers are very tender. Exact cooking time will depend on size, shape and thickness of the peppers. Best to let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with the sauce spooned over the top. vegetarian stuffed Bell PePPers 1-1/2 cups uncooked rice 3 cups vegetarian chicken flavour stock 3 bell peppers 2 tablespoons oil 1/2 onion 1 stick celery 1 carrot 1 small zucchini 12 ounces chopped tomatoes (1-1/2 cups) 4 cups pasta sauce 1/4 cup ketchup 2 garlic cloves 1 teaspoon dry basil 1 teaspoon dry oregano 1 teaspoon dried bay leaf

1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1 tablespoon pesto sauce 2 cups asiago cheese Start by cooking the rice with the chicken stock, and set that aside. Slice your bell peppers (you can use red or green) in half vertically and scoop out the insides. Place the six pieces into a baking pan or dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray or oil. Next start cutting your veggies. Finely chop the 1/2 of onion, celery, carrot, and the whole zuchini. Add to your pan with oil on low heat. Sauté the veggies till they are at a soft stage. Now add your tomatoes, 2 cups pasta sauce, and ketchup. Chop garlic up fine and throw that in there also. Turn heat up to medium and mix everything together really well. Now you can add your basil, oregano, bay leaf, pesto, salt, and pepper. Keep stirring everything until the veggies and tomatoes are nice and soft. Add cooked rice to the pan. Mix everything together well. Now you can grate the cheese and add 1/2 cup to the rice mix, keep stirring till everything’s combined. Preheat your oven to 375 degree. Spoon the rice mixture into each of the pepper halves, make them nice and full. Pour remaining sauce over all the peppers and sprinkle the remaining cheese allover the top. Bake for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Bennetto defends Labour Day title RAY KIMOTO For The Morning Star

Murray Bennetto retained his men’s singles championship as he defeated Jeremy Bell 6-2, 7-5 Monday in the 102nd Annual Okanagan Valley Labour Day Tennis Championships at the Kalamalka Country Club. Bennetto, who turned 50 in June, is a former Hong Kong pro and Davis Cup player/coach. Based in Hong Kong for more than 16 years, he moved back to Vernon in 2005. In the men’s consolation final, Kyle Johnston of Kelowna defeated Grant Stanley of Kelowna, 6-3, 3-6, 10-3. More than 90 entrants throughout B.C. competed, and fans were entertained by many close and thrilling matches and exciting tennis. Men’s B Singles – 13-year-old Calvin Thalheimer of Kelowna defeated former finalist Tom Budd of Kelowna, 3-6, 6-0, 10-5. In the consolation final, Lyndon Shipowick of Kelowna grounded Kelvin Ludbrook of Vernon, 6-4, 6-2. Ladies’ A Singles – was dominated by Audrey Chu of Kelowna as she defeated Monica Morato of Vancouver, 1-6, 7-5, 10-6.

First place went to Eva Koksalova and Elena Audy of Kelowna, and second went to the Vernon team of Anne Ellis and Sandra Liedl.

Men’s B Doubles – Dave Valouch and Morris Vardabasso, both of Vernon, lost in the finals to Kyle Peters (Vancouver) and Justin Lebbon (Kelowna) 6-0, 6-4. In an

all-Vernon semifinal, Valouch and Vardabasso defeated Mark Corbett and Pat Hughes 6-4, 6-2. Mixed A Doubles – Playing under the lights, the mixed A doubles provided one of the most entertaining matches of the tournament. Koksalova and Tilander defeated Rosie and Joe Schaich of Kelowna 6-4, 4-6, 10-4.

Mixed B Doubles – Also playing under the lights, Aeri Lee and Ken Cheung, both of Kelowna, defeated Pauline and Brian Sweet of Vancouver 6-2, 6-2. To get to the finals, the Sweets stopped Barry Bojarski (Vernon) and Regina Dirk (Vancouver) 6-4, 6-4. “Congratulations to all the winners and participants for a wonderful weekend of tennis enjoyed by all who came out to watch the events,” said longtime tourney director Ray Kimoto. “Tennis tournaments cannot be successful without volunteers who put in many hours of their time. “Many thanks to the hard-working tennis tournament committee of Gordon Mann, Gary Davidson, Karalee Drudl, Dave Valouch, Robin McRae and Alice Kimoto, and to club members Heinrich and Marie Schimpl, Jill Holmes and Bob Corbett for their time and for making this a successful tournament under perfect weather conditions. “The tournament committee, in turn, would like to thank caretaker Tony Bastian and Voets Coffee for providing coffee for all our tournaments, and to 50th Parallel Winery, Quails’ Gate Winery, Arrow Leaf Winery, London Drugs, Roster’s Sports Club, Shoppers Drug Mart and The Italian Kitchen for donations and door prizes, and the Kalamalka Country Club for hosting the Okanagan Labour Day Championships.”

Vipers wrap preseason at 2-3 after loss to Warriors Morning Star Staff

Ambrose Firkus turned the hat trick, including the winner, as the West Kelowna Warriors held off the Vernon Vipers 5-4 in B.C. Hockey League exhibition action Saturday night at Royal LePage Place. Trailing by a pair late in the second period, the Vipers battled to make it 4-4, but Firkus converted on a late West Kelowna powerplay to salt the game. The Snakes, who ended the preseason at 2-3, open the regular season at the Bauer Showcase tournament this weekend in Chilliwack. Vernon faces the reigning Fred Page Cup

champion Surrey Eagles Saturday morning (11:30), followed by a Sunday-night (6:00) tilt against the Chilliwack Chiefs. “It was a much better effort than Friday night (3-1 loss to Warriors at Kal Tire Place),” said Vipers’ associate coach Kris Mallette. “Our compete was a 100 times better. Things seemed to work a lot better. “It’ll be nice to get a week of practice in before the Showcase.” Returning Viper d-man Jason Bird, with the first of two goals, ripped a shot, bar-down, to open the scoring on an

Up to

early first-period powerplay. “He’s got one of the hardest shots I’ve seen so far,” said Mallette. Vernon went down to four d-men in the first period as Josh Bryan was tossed for fighting West Kelowna captain Matt Anholt, and Mark Hamilton was ejected for crosschecking former North Okanagan Knight Mackenzie Ferner in the face. Veteran forward Colton Sparrow subbed in on the blueline to give Vernon’s defenders a reprieve.

scored were on some pretty interesting breakdowns on our part,” said Mallette, adding netminder Austin Smith had no chance on a couple of them. With Vernon on a 5-on-3, Michael McNicholas fed Bird for his second snipe in the third period. Mallette, a Kelowna Rocket grad and former minor pro defenceman, will be working with Vernon’s defence and penalty kill. He likes what he sees so far, but said there is still room for improvement. “Even with three 20s, they’re still a bit raw, and they do have a lot to learn, but there’s a good base for them.” Vernon has to cut two players to finalize its 22-man roster, and name captains, before the season begins.

The Vernon Square Liquor Store Stars stuffed the Rutland RPM Automotive Spirit 5-2 in an epic mid-table battle for playoff seeding Monday night at Marshall Field #2. RPM (8-8-3) capitalized on an early error from Liquormen keeper Ted Lurkins as Richard Chapman netted the first goal of the Capri Insurance 45+ Soccer League match. The Stars (9-7-2) poured it on with some nice passing, cumulating with a Rick (Bubba) Danyluk equalizer. Red-hot John Matejicka put the Stars ahead from a scramble to take a 2-1 lead into the break. RPM came out strong in the second half with the Stars having to defend in depth. The game turned into a midfield battle before the Liquormen garnered their third of the night with Dave Howes converting a controversial penalty call. Kevin Roberts of the Spirit responded midway through the half to keep things interesting. Andy Whiston scored against the run of play with a perfectly-timed counterattack before RPM scored their second of the night. Barry Mackay scored late in the second half after a nice feed from Rob (Toonie) Bauml. Two battleships, one aircraft carrier and several planes later, the battle of mid-table was over. The USS Nimitz Man of the Match was Stars’ sweeper Steve Fitzpatrick. The Leko Precast Camels brushed back bottomfeeding Bosman Accounting 4-1 at the knee-high grassy knoll also known as Marshall #4. Striker Gord Howard pocketed his 13th goal of the season in the fifth minute with Bosman playing with just seven runners (they had 13 by the half).

Al Gee made it 2-0 about 10 minutes later with an empty-netter before Bosman speedster Kerry Correia fended off two fullbacks and beat keeper Dave Dutcher low. Bosman keeper Gerson Betman was sensational, making countless huge saves to keep things close. He got big help from defenders Tom Ouchi, Alex DeBoersap and Ted Sheehan in knocking out shots from close range. Betman, who was rocked hard to the ground by Al Murphy early on, took the Boston Pizza Man of the Match. Paul Morgan, on a penalty kick, and Steve Milne, rounded out the 13-2-3 Humpbacks’ attack. Morgan ran a marathon as he riverdanced through the Bosman defence and ruled the middle defensively, earning the Italian Kitchen Man of the Match. The North Country Appraisals Kickers shut down Cantinas 3-0 at Mission 73 Park. Greg (The Beard) Bevandick, Wil Kruiper and Vincio Delgado supplied the goals, while David Gadd recorded the shutout. The Kickers moved to 12-5-1, while Cantinas dipped to 5-12-2. League champion Brown Benefits toppled Lake Country FC 5-3 at Parkinson Field #16, while Big O Tire-Turn Key Ogopogos forfeited to Penticton United (game scheduled for Summerland).

Magnums gun down Lions in opener Morning Star Staff

Zack Smith returned the opening kick off 70 yards for a touchdown, and it only got better after that for the Vernon Magnums. The Pee Wee Magnums jumpstarted their Southern Interior Football Conference season with a 34-0 win over the Kelowna Lions Sunday at Grahame Park. Smith led the Vernon attack, tossing for 81 yards on four-of-eight passes, including three TDs. Receiver Ethan Mitchell caught for 50 yards and a TD, while tight end Kevin Morgan had 28 yards and a score and fullback Isaiah Ondrik added a threeyard TD catch. Magnums’ running back Cameron Moger scampered for 39 yards and a score, while Matthew Reich added 32 yards for the offence. Defensively, Ondrik supplied four tackles and a fumble recover, Joey Mazzei also had four tackles and was a menace in the backfield, and Smith added four tackles. Ethan Anderson and Devin Hofsink both added three tackles apiece. “The team’s focus and hard work in practice sessions really paid off,” said head coach Sean Smith, who also coaches the Vernon Panthers senior boys team. Meanwhile, in Atom division action, the host Magnums eked out a 32-27 win over the Lions Sunday at Grahame.

Vernon QB Kolby Thorpe rushed for 158 yards on 14 carries with two scores. He unloaded one pass, a five-yarder, to Brady Devries. Game MVP runningback Colin Charlton was a workhorse for the Magnums, carrying the ball 24 times for 89 yards and three touchdowns behind some solid blocking from offensive linemen Ryland Croswell, Ryan Harms, Roland Ingram, Rasheed Hashi and Zakk Hamilton. “We worked a lot on blocking this past week at practice and I was happy to see it paid off,” said head coach Tim Thorpe. “Colin had a huge day running the ball for us, the majority of his runs were right up the middle where it’s tough running. He couldn’t have done it without the tremendous blocking from our offensive line.” The defence was led by Thorpe with 11 tackles, a sack and fumble recovery. Charlton had eight tackles, Gunnar Nyberg had four, Carston Disher had three and Harms had a tackle and two timely sacks near the end of the game. After scoring the go-ahead touchdown with less than a minute to play, the Magnum defence held off the Lions’ final push. The Atoms host the Kelowna Dragons Sunday, 10 a.m. at Grahame, followed by the Pee Wees at noon and Jr. Bantams at 2 p.m.

Ed Horth of Prince George hit his 150,000th target, and Les Madsen of Kelowna and Jerry Broten of Langley each shot their 300,000th registered target. “That is one of the largest milestone events we have had at our club,” said longtime director Lisa Salt. “The shoot went well. We had just under 100 traphooters and their families from all over B.C., Alberta and some from Washington, plus Daro Handy, a trapshooting guru from Oregon who came up to enjoy the Okanagan Valley as well as do some trapshooting lessons before the shoot.” Trophy results as follows: Blackburn Excavating Singles (71 entries): AA class: Bernie Reynolds 100.

Oyama Zipline hosts Parkinson’s fundraiser Morning Star Staff

Residents and travellers are invited to participate in Oyama Zipline’s SuperZip fundraiser Sunday. When you purchase a tour for that day, 100 per cent is donated to charity. “SuperZip is an extension of the national SuperWalk event for Parkinson’s disease,” said owner Peter Madsen. “Supporters can get involved in two ways. One method is to book a zipline tour in Oyama for Sept. 8. A second way to participate is to sponsor Team Oyama at onwww.parkinson.bc.ca by registering as a virtual

zipliner.” A diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease in the family initiated this fundraiser. “Our family and our friend’s family have been affected by Parkinson’s disease so we have partnered with SuperWalk Kelowna”, said Jennifer Madsen. “Charitable donations tend to be a reflection of personal perspective. Our family has a new appreciation for our health and a new attitude towards giving.” For more information about the event, call 250-548-4129 or e-mail findadventure@oyamazipline.com.

Irrigation critical

ithout water, vegetation – including our food crops – stands little chance of survival in the heat of an Okanagan summer. Did you know, B.C. farmers meet about 50 per cent of our province’s food needs? They are vital to producing local, healthy food for our population that continues to grow. In the Okanagan, our numbers are projected to increase 45 per cent by 2036 to more than 260,000 people. For each one of those additions to our population, we need more food – which, in turn, needs more water to grow. Our farmers markets and fruit stands are ripe with wonderful fresh fruits and vegetables. To ensure this continues, it’s important that we make sure there’s enough water for the farmers to irrigate their crops. ‘ As the sun gets hotter and the ground gets drier, some might think it’s time to turn on the taps more often. Instead, we need to help farmers by doing our part to conserve water.

In fact, with government assistance and rebates, a growing number of Okanagan farmers are installing water meters, using drip irrigation and micro-jet sprinklers, and installing soil-moisture sensors to ensure they’re using only the water they need. But in the summer, we start to compete for water. If you have a vegetable garden, make sure to be WaterWise – using effective and efficient watering practices, paying attention to when and how much you water. Find tips at www. MakeWaterWork.ca. If we use less water, there’s more for the farmers to keep their crops growing. That means healthy fruits and vegetables for our growing population. Learn more at www.makewaterwork.ca, then “Take the Pledge” and enter to win $5,000 in WaterWise yard upgrades thanks to KelownaGardens.com. Make Water Work is an initiative of the Okanagan Basin Water Board and its Okanagan WaterWise program.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder SOME HANDS OUGHT TO BE STRAIGHTFORWARD Baroness Edith Clara Summerskill, who was a Labour Party member of British Parliament from 1938 to 1961, said, “Nagging is the repetition of unpalatable truths.” That does not apply to nagging in bridge classes, where the teacher is repeating truths about the game. Look at the South hand in today’s diagram. With 22 points, a great five-card suit and all of those prime cards, it easily qualifies for a two-club opening bid. But after North responds two diamonds, the negative response usually made with 0-7 points, what should South rebid? While you are thinking

about that, suppose South ends in three no-trump. What happens after West leads either the spade four or the heart king? A basic rule of bidding at the game-level is to aim for no-trump, not for a minor. When this deal was played, South rebid three clubs instead of two no-trump -- a bad error. It got worse when North passed out three clubs, a forcing bid! Over two no-trump, North would have used Stayman to try to find a 4-4 spade fit before settling into three notrump. It would be normal for West to lead the spade four. South captures East’s 10 with his king, cashes the diamond ace, and continues with the diamond jack. Here, East has

to win and can do no better than to cash his spade queen and play another spade to hold declarer to 10 tricks. However, if West is psychic, he will lead the heart king. Then South cannot make his contract. Declarer would rue the lack of the club 10 on the board as an entry for the diamond finesse.

Obituaries

Alice Rita Marie Finch

Alice Rita Marie Finch born August 11, 1923 in Spalding, Saskatchewan, passed away peacefully on September 1, 2013 with her loving family by her side at the Vernon Hospice House. As a young girl, Mom loved horses and playing softball. She met and married our Dad Albert in Spalding, soon after their two eldest sons Ralph and Howard were born. While living in Spalding, Mom and Dad owned a small café and garage. Some of their happiest times were spent attending every country dance within 50 miles. In 1950 the family moved to McBride, BC. While in McBride she was an active member or the Catholic Church and The Royal purple. She kept very busy raising her family, gardening, and playing ball as an outstanding “catcher” on a very competitive team. Mom and Dad moved to Mica Creek in 1964 with their two youngest children Sheila and Lyle. Mom worked in the Co-op store where everyone enjoyed her wonderful personality and kind disposition. In 1969 they moved to Vernon. Mom worked many years at the McLeods store where she made lifelong friends. Mom’s passion for gardening was recognized by the city of Vernon with the beautification award. As a loving Mother and Grandmother, one of the many ways she showed her love for her family was by baking, cooking or canning their favourites. Whether you were family or friends, you never needed an invitation to Mom’s home, the door was always open.

Q: A:

How often should my home be checked while I’m away?

The frequency of home checks varies among insurance companies – from every day, to once a week. These differences are based on the carriers’ past experience. Usually, an insurance carrier will agree to reduce the frequency if the home is checked regularly by a qualified home watch service. Your insurance broker can explain the specific requirements of your particular insurance carrier.

Q: A:

I am interested in knowing the differences between a regular Mortgage and a Line of Credit on my home, what should I be aware of?

There are several different features for the 2 Loan options you are considering. 1) For a regular residential mortgage, you will have set payments, a term for the interest rate and a final payment schedule for paying the money to the lender. The amount you owe will reduce over time and if the product you choose has a locked in rate, you will have to consider a prepayment penalty if you pay the mortgage sooner than the maturity. 2) On a line of credit, the interest rate will change based upon the Lenders Prime lending rate plus additional pricing the Lender is offering. The line of credit is a Demand Loan, and the Lending Institution can change the terms at any time. You may have the option to pay an interest payment each month based upon the amount that you currently owe, but If you are applying for any new credit, it is likely that the Lender will use a ‘regular payment amount for a similar mortgage” on the application and not interest only. New Home Equity lines of credit are also limited to 65% of the current value of the property by the Bank of Canada Guidelines. Lines of Credit generally do not have a prepayment penalty but will have various other fees to discharge the mortgage on payout. We can help to choose the product that is best for you. OAC/E&O

Q: A:

Head lice: Nothing to be afraid of

The Thought of little creatures crawling over your head is yucky. But the reality is that head lice are as contagious as the common cold. Lice are very small insects that measure about the size of a pinhead and can live on the scalp. They are spread by direct contact with people or objects and are particularly common amongst children. One of the first signs of head lice is an itchy scalp, but this symptom is not prevalent in everybody. Head lice move fast, are hard to see and are usually found very close to the scalp, at the bottom of the neck and behind the ears. To look for lice, part hair into small sections and comb through using a fine comb, moving slowly. If you or someone in your family has lice, be sure to check everybody for lice. There are several good over-the-counter treatments for lice that use a mild insecticide to kill the lice.

Q: A:

There are essentially three kinds of Health Care Directives. A Living Will, an Advanced Health Care Directive and a Representation Agreement. The one you require can be custom tailored to fit your particular circumstances. There is a lot of confusion about these Directives. Some groups in town have had speakers who have made significant errors in their speeches about these documents. Speak to someone who knows. At Laarakker Law, Wills and Estate Planning is not just something we do; it is something we specialize in. After all, the legacy you leave behind is more important than what you leave behind.

Q: A:

I have a home that is about 30 years old. The gas furnace is original to the home. I was thinking about getting a new one but my friend said if it’s not broke why fix it. What do you think?

The average expected lifespan for a gas furnace is around 20-25 years. After that the failure rate goes up. If the furnace fails it could introduce carbon monoxide into your home, this can be lethal, and it is hard for a layperson to determine exactly when this is going to happen. Also as your furnace ages it does not work as efficiently as it did when it was younger. Older furnaces typically function around 50% efficiency, this means that half of your heating dollar is going up the chimney. Installing a new high efficiency furnace can save significantly in your heating bill plus ensure that you will be safe from furnace failure. Installation of a new furnace is not as expensive as some think, and there are government grants available to help offset the cost. For more information on grants ask your heating contractor or me.

Why Health Care Directives?

You should have a Health Care Directive to alert your physician and family to the kind of health care you desire when you are nearing the end of your life or are otherwise ill and are unable to speak for yourself. Imagine having your kids squabble about which medical treatment a parent should receive at the end of their life. If you leave clear instructions, everyone will know what to do when that time comes.

Making a SplaSh

Negotiations with unions representing more than 25,000 school support staff are back on this week, with a strike mandate already in place for B.C.’s 60 school districts as the new school year gets underway. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said he is hopeful that a settlement with clerical staff, custodians, bus drivers and other support staff can be achieved without picket lines disrupting classes. Talks broke off in August and are set to resume for three days starting Sept. 4. The Canadian Union of Public Employees, representing most of the workers, says they haven’t had a raise in four years. The latest contract expired in June 2012 after a two-year wage freeze was imposed across the B.C. public service. Fassbender wouldn’t comment directly on talks, except to say that school districts are working to set up “savings accounts” in their operations to fund wage increases within existing district budgets. The government’s “cooperative gains” mandate requires all raises to be funded by internal savings such as shared administrative functions. CUPE is seeking raises of two per cent per year. “Our members will take full-scale job action if the government doesn’t show a commitment to bargaining,” CUPE representative Colin Pawson said in a statement on the weekend, as the union prepared to start an advertising campaign to attract public support.
