Enderby mill expansion a step closer ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Sean Poggemoeller wants to be able to sleep at night. The vice-president of North Enderby Timber doesn’t want to have to tell his 135 employees that their jobs are gone because the company can’t expand its mill operation which, he said, it needs and wants to do to sustain long-term, secure, full-time jobs in Enderby. Poggemoeller was speaking to the Regional District of North Okanagan board at a public hearing Wednesday on his company’s expansion application which they first brought to the board’s attention in 2012. RDNO directors unanimously gave third reading of NET’s bylaw amendment application. “We have run since 2008 at a break-even point just to keep the community going,” said Poggemoeller. “There is no other employer in Enderby that will take 70 jobs (if the mill work

force was cut in half). One or two, yes, but 70 is not going to happen anytime soon. “I’ve worked for 20 years beside my fellow employees doing their exact job. A lot of them are my friends. I don’t want to be the one to tell them you don’t have a job tomorrow...We can’t compete against other sawmills worldwide because we don’t have the space. We can’t operate without that space (applying for).” NET wants to change the land use designation of a 4.9 hectare portion of its 39.2 hectare property on Highway 97A from agricultural to industrial, and change the zoning of the same portion of the property from large holdings to general industrial. The application also proposes to change the official community plan land use designation of a 4.9 hectare portion of an 8.1 hectare property located at 91 Crandlemire Road from industrial to agricultural, and change the zoning of that property from general industrial to large holding. If the application is fully approved, NET

plans to subdivide the rezoned portion of its Highway 97A property and use it as a log and lumber storage yard, install a new dry kiln, machine shop and weight scale. The Crandlemire Road property would be subdivided and rehabilitated to be used for agricultural purposes. Poggemoeller said he already had to face the 135 employees once this year and tell them he didn’t know there would be seven days of no work because, for one of the rare times in the company’s 30-year history, they ran out of logs. “If we had the new location, this problem could have been dealt with,” said Poggemoeller, adding in the past 15 years, there hadn’t been a shutdown save for one day due to lack of logs. “We have to have a larger log storage capability. It’s an absolute must.” Poggemoeller said the company’s application has received complete approval from the Agricultural Land Commission. A number of people spoke in support of the company application, including Ted

Curtis, owner-operator of Armstrongbased Curtis Farms, a feed lot that looks after 5,000 to 6,000 head of cattle per year, and uses shavings from NET as bedding for its cattle. “NET is just tremendous and we’ve worked with them for many years,” said Curtis. “Without them, we’d probably be out of business.” Rob Smailes, general manager of planning and building for RDNO, read seven letters from neighbours adjacent to the NET property. Six were in opposition, one was in support of the application. Those opposed cited concerns over water quality and pollution of the Shuswap River, noise levels, fires at the mill, reclamation and rehabilitation of the Crandlemire property, increased truck traffic and sawdust becoming airborne. Now that third reading has passed, all that’s left before final adoption is ministry of transportation approval.

BX gravel pit bid buried ROGER KNOX

Morning Star Staff

A proposed gravel pit in the BX has been crushed. While staff recommended supporting sending an application from Klayton and Beckie Mertion for extracting gravel on Brentwood Road to the Agricultural Land Commission, Regional District of North Okanagan directors voted 10-4 in favour of a motion by Area C BX-Silver Star director Mike Macnabb to not support sending the application. “I think this (plan) is an industrial operation in the middle of a residential area,” said Macnabb during his eight-minute long response to his motion. “I think there are other areas within Area C for this without the economic or quality of life impacts that this thing presents.” The Mertions had applied previously to have their application sent to the ALC for consideration, but were told to get a geotechnical and agrologist report done – at their cost. The couple, appearing as a delegation at Wednesday’s regular board meeting, told directors they had done all that was asked of them. Beckie Mertion said they hired an agrologist out of Summerland who said in his report that ben-

“If you’re going to turn them down, why did they have to spend the money?” — Earl Shipmaker

efits to removing gravel from the property would increase arable land from two to more than eight acres, and that the increased acreage would be cultivated so the Mertions could have animals grazing on the property. The couple hired a Lake Country firm to do a geotechnical report which stated that after site grading and storm water control measures were completed, with the company’s supervision, there would be no impact to neighbouring properties with gravel removal. “We’re still aware of concerns about noise and dust,” said Beckie. “We have berms in place and will be in place for the duration of the project to help reduce noise and dust.” As the application is for non farm-use, the public is not allowed to appear as a delegation to speak in favour or against the application. Macnabb said he was speaking for his constituents and pointed out that the only thing citizens

opposed to the application could do was an informal petition campaign which, he said, garnered more than 1,100 signatures. “In some ways, the plan fails as an improvement to agriculture,” he said. “It doesn’t really address the mitigation and diminished productivity of the surrounding area. Dust is an issue and will continue to be an issue.” Macnabb pointed out there is no on-site water for the application to help control the dust. The Mertions own a water truck through their company. Support for Macnabb’s motion came from Vernon Mayor Rob Sawatzky. “This is the wrong project in the wrong place,” said Sawatzky. “The Grey Canal Trail borders the property on two sides. To me, it’s inconceivable that a trail that has been designed to have great natural views for public enjoyment would run alongside a gravel pit that was never intended to be there.” Cherryville director Eugene

MORNING STAR FILE PHOTO

The Regional District of North Okanagan has denied a gravel pit proposed by Klayton and Beckie Mertion. Foisy supported sending the Mertion application to the ALC along with Spallumcheen Mayor Janice Brown, rural Lumby vicechairperson Rick Fairbairn and Vernon director Mary-Jo O’Keefe. “I’ve walked the property and if that’s farmland, I’m a pirate,” said Foisy. “It’s the poorest piece of farmland I’ve ever seen. It should never have been in the ALR (Agricultural Land Reserve).” Alternate Enderby director Earl Shipmaker voted in favour of the motion but was upset with the way things were handled for the Mertions. “If there’s all these big reasons for having a gravel pit, why didn’t you ask them if they had a geotech and agrologist report?” said

RCMP on the trail of stolen car spree Morning Star Staff

Vernon RCMP are investigating a stolen vehicle spree in East Vernon Thursday. Just after 1 a.m., an officer was dispatched to a report of an accident in the 3700 block of Welker Road, off East Vernon Road. “The person who called said that there was a small vehicle in the ditch that crashed just behind his Gord Molendyk house and that two men were on his property looking in one of his cars,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The vehicle in the ditch was a 1995 Honda

Del Sol. It was towed for forensic examination, and officers determined it had been stolen earlier in the evening from its owner’s driveway on 20th Street in Vernon. As the officer was going to investigate the accident and the report of prowlers, he was less than a block away when he noticed a vehicle coming at him at high speed. “Our officer attempted to stop the vehicle but it went around him and off the road into a shallow ditch,” said Molendyk. “It appeared to have two female occupants in the vehicle. It took off and our officer was unable to get a plate number.” When the officer arrived at the caller’s home, he was directed to a shed in the back yard where two men could be heard rummaging around.

“When our constable announced his presence he heard the two take off,” said Molendyk. “He chased them for a short distance then requested a police service dog team. The dog team tracked along East Vernon Road then lost the track near Bolduc Road.” While they were tracking, police came across a Red Ford Mustang that had the driver’s door open in the driveway of a residence off of BX Road. The ignition had been tampered with. Officers are continuing to investigate all of these thefts and attempted thefts of vehicles. Anyone who may have seen or heard anything in relation to the activity in the area is asked to call the Vernon RCMP detachment at 250-5457171.

Shipmaker. “That’s what really bothers me. You ask them to do this and this, and you’re implying if the reports come out satisfactory, you’ll support them maybe with conditions, but you won’t just turn them down. “If you’re going to turn them down, why did they have to spend the money?” Area B BX-Swan Lake director Bob Fleming said Wednesday was the only chance the board would have to vote on the application. The Electoral Area Advisory Committee had recommended to the RDNO board that the Mertion’s application be sent to the ALC for review. The Mertions declined to comment after the vote.

Sign removal a ‘dangerous situation’ Pelmewash being a through road and only Irvine and Oyama Rd having to stop,” said Lake Country Coun. Owen Dickie. “We are working to correct the dangerous situation.” But according to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, the change was made in consultation with the District of Lake Country. “A four-way stop was not warranted at this intersection anymore, as traffic volumes have decreased significantly along the old highway since the ministry opened the new Highway 97 alignment last summer,” the ministry told The Morning Star. “Therefore, to increase mobility and safety along the Pelmewash Parkway, this intersection has been changed to a two-

Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

A sudden removal of stop signs by the Ministry of Transportation has created a dangerous situation at a Oyama intersection, says one local politician, Since the new highway was opened, there was a four-way stop at the intersection of Pelmewash Owen Dickie Parkway, Irvine Road and Oyama Road. “Then without any warning or installation of ‘Notice of Signal Change’ it was converted to

way stop.” The district has requested that the intersection be converted back to a fourway stop as soon as possible and Dickie says the ministry is having a traffic engineer look at it. “This seems odd to me as they converted it to a four-way stop a year ago and the intersection had been working fine but since this change there have been numerous close calls between vehicles and vehicles and pedestrians.” Meanwhile with the completion of the new section of Highway 97 between Winfield and Oyama, the District of Lake Country will be taking over jurisdiction of the Pelmewash Parkway in the near future.

Regional district rounding up hazardous waste Morning Star Staff

Get your household hazardous waste ready to be rounded up. The 2014 Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO)

Household Hazardous Waste Round Up will take place on Saturday, Sept. 13, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Regional District of North Okanagan office park-

ing lot in Coldstream (9848 Aberdeen Road), and from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Enderby Fire Hall (1407 George Street) and the Lumby Fire Hall (1769 Shuswap

cleaners; almost anything with a flammable or poisonous label. This service is provided free of charge to RDNO residents. The Round Up is for

Help Prevent Heart Attacks with Vitamin C and Lysine Powder W. Gifford-Jones, MD

hy is heart attack the number one killer in this country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack. Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling reported twenty-five years ago it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack. Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.

I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent. But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus™ is available at health food stores and specialty pharmacies. The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop mixed with water or juice with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day. This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. That is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors. As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine! I turned 90 this year.

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries. Sixteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal. I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking cholesterol lowering drugs (CLD’s). I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications.

household hazardous waste only. Containers up to 20 litres in size will be accepted. Waste from commercial or industrial sources will not be accepted, nor will electronic waste. Residents should take the following precautions when loading and transporting hazardous materials: 1. Keep the material away from children, pets or food products; 2. Tightly secure container lids to prevent leaks; 3. Leave the material in the original container and leave the labels intact which will ensure proper handling if contents are known; and 4. Pack items in a sturdy box and place upright to prevent spills; line your trunk or truck box with plastic just in case. For residents unable to attend the Sept. 13 Round Up, there are a

number of year round drop-off locations for certain types of hazardous waste. Chasers Bottle Depot in Vernon accepts some pesticides, solvents and flammable liquids from residents at no charge. Chasers Bottle Depot also accepts unwanted paint, as does Interior Freight and Bottle Depot in Vernon, Armstrong Collision Services in Armstrong, and KBM Autoworks and Towing in Lumby. These events would not be possible without the dedicated volunteers from the Enderby and Vernon Lion Clubs, and fire fighters from the Enderby and Lumby Fire Departments.

Flexible hours. We’re hiring.

Morning Star Staff

Five-year-old Ryder Roschat has been counting down the days until he gets to go to Kindergarten. He is so excited, and ready, to begin this new chapter in his life. Therefore it breaks his mom’s heart to tell the eager student that he could be counting a lot more days if the teachers and government can’t reach an agreement. “How do you tell a five-year-old?” said Raylene Roschat. “He’s so upset that they might not be starting in time.” Roschat was one of several parents making a statement in front of Ellison Elementary Wednesday to urge the B.C. Teachers Federation and the government to reach a settlement so that Ryder can go to school as planned on Sept. 2. Parents have been hearing different start dates, depending on how negotiations go. “We’ve been hearing that November is going to be a start date,” said Lovona Farnsworth, a single mom with three kids who organized the neutral demonstration. “I’m out just to prove a point to the teachers and the government. “As parents we’re really concerned and would really like to see our children back in school in September instead of November.” And it appears as though the majority of people support that, as Farnsworth estimated 800 to 900 honks within just the first couple hours of the demonstration. “We’ve had so many honks and appreciation for what we’re doing.”

Along with the hardship a delayed school start will put on teachers and students with delayed classes, especially Grade 12 students, Farnsworth is concerned about the challenges for parents. Even though she is currently unemployed, she says the delay will cause challenges in the work force as parents attempt to re-book schedules causing stress on employers and businesses. “It’s going to affect the economy very much.” She hopes Wednesday’s demonstration will show the two sides that something needs to be done now, not later. “My point of it all today was really just to get everybody in to compromise,” said the mom of three children. “We teach our kids in elementary school that we need to compromise, so these two parties need to compromise too. “I just want to get my kids back in school because that’s what they deserve.” Farnsworth is planning on organizing another demonstration, for possibly Sunday, in front of Polson Park. The government has announced that if school does not start on Sept. 2, parents will receive $40 for each day a child under 13 is not in school. But most payments will be processed within 30 days after the month in which the labour disruption ends. Registration starts in September if school does not start. More information is available at BCparentinfo.ca. Vince Ready has met separately with both parties, but his biggest challenge is bringing both sides closer together. The government says it is not prepared to legislate teachers back because it will not solve the dispute.

wo years ago, my best friend Evan and I decided that we would visit all 30 Major League Baseball stadiums. Hopefully after three decades of travelling and nacho-eating we can cross them all off our list. Right now, we are 13 per cent of the way there. Our first trip was a roady to Seattle to catch the Mariners and Tampa Bay Rays series in midAugust. We were lucky enough to sit eight rows behind home plate for Felix Hernández’s perfect game Aug. 15. We didn’t think it was possible to top that trip, but we did. This winter, we began to hash out plans for the big time, New York City. We grew up and went to college with a pair of Tyler Lowey brainiac baseball fans that were working in the Big Apple for the summer, so we had a place to crash. We chose New York for a number of reasons, but mainly because it was the final season for Yankee captain, Derek Jeter. The soon-to-be Hall of Famer was making his curtain call around the league and the Toronto Blue Jays were in town at the end of July. Evan and I have been Jays fans all our lives, but we have never seen the boys play. So we made plans to visit the Big City July 20-28. Staying in the Lower East Side of Manhattan Island, we saw it all: the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Ground Zero, the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, girls, the Garden, Brooklyn, Central Park, Times Square, the meatpacking district and the top of the Rockefeller building. People have asked me about the trip and the only word that remotely comes close to describing that blur of a week is, insane. The sheer volume of people crammed into the city was overwhelming. You could smell the wealth oozing out of businessmen and women like an exploded can of Axe body spray. It is a different world over there. We got all of our touristy events done early in the week because the Jays and Yanks were squaring off on our last three days in New York. The trip was full of “holy smokes,” moments. Whenever we saw or did something that we have

seen on TV or in the movies, we shook our head in disbelief that we were living it out. I’ll never forget the feeling of walking past the stadium gates and catching a glimpse of the iconic field for the first time. I couldn’t believe that we finally made it to Yankee Stadium. The one thing that was missing from our Seattle trip was meaningful baseball. At the time, the Jays and Yanks were three games behind the American League East division leading Baltimore Orioles. Some of you might remember a column I wrote about the Jays and how they put the MLB on blast notice in May. Less than three days after that column ran, the Jays hit the tank and haven’t really looked back. I tried apologizing to Jose Bautista from our right field seats, he clearly forgave me because he bashed two bombs in his first two trips to the dish. The injury-plagued Jays entered the series on a 16-game winless streak in the Bronx and were looking to exercise some demons while keeping pace with the red-hot O’s. The series was fantastic. The games were intriguing, we saw a few future Hall of Famers play, there was lots of long ball, gorgeous defensive plays and the Jays took two of three from the evil empire. Right before we left on the trip, the Jeter Re2pect commercial came out and went viral. I knew that the city loved Jetes, I just had no idea how much they loved their all-time hits leader. Anything Jeter did received a standing ovation. Whether he was stretching hours before the game, or a video of him reading an ad came on the jumbotron, people lost it. Even if he made an error they still cheered when they would normally demand that player gets traded. I proudly admit that I (sheepishly) booed Jeter. These Jays’ colours don’t run and my guys were in a pennant race. Clearly I offended the baseball gods and they have punished me by making me watch a Jays team that is a shell of what they were in the first half of the year as they stumble away from post-season contention for the 20th season. Ironically, it’s the same amount of years Jeter has played in the bigs. The best part about the trip was that I got to spend it with some best friends I rarely get to see now that we are “mature” and getting on with our own lives. Hopefully we one-up ourselves again on the next journey.

Isolated, frail seniors and people with mobility issues who live alone in a single-family home will be among those hardest hit by new Canada Post plans to discontinue house-to-house mail service by 2019. While it’s understandable that Canada Post would want to re-visit so-called “snail mail” delivery and look for efficiencies in an era of digital communication, the national postal service shouldn’t discriminate against individuals who are unable to use the new community mail boxes for one health reason or another. But coming up with a simple solution to help these people is proving to be a challenge. Canada’s national mail carrier deserves credit for appointing a dedicated team to work out adjustments and accommodations for individuals with mobility issues, but requiring a doctor’s note to prove need seems heavy-handed. Surely, there are other ways to handle this situation without going to such extremes. Many of those who need home delivery are likely to be in straitened financial circumstances with few supports. Yet they should also be given credit for their independence and not having to rely on taxpayersubsidized housing. It seems reasonable to take them at their word rather than requiring a doctor’s note to justify a special accommodation. Even Canada’s doctors are crying foul, arguing that this requirement will burden doctors and the already expensive health care system. Perhaps Canada Post could consider allowing seniors and disability advocacy organizations to be referral agencies. An automated telephone service could also be implemented, similar to one used for Employment Insurance, for people needing special accommodation. True, there may be some people who take advantage of the situation without a proper screening. But rooting out these fraudsters might be more costly than simply going by the honour system. Like the SkyTrain fare gates situation where the solution to fair evasion is more costly than the problem, trust is cheaper. Black Press

Act of kindness pays dividends

e are the individuals who handed out thank you cards to some of Vernon's finest, earlier this summer. We have seen your story and wanted to express our sincerest gratitude for the joy this small act has brought to our lives. We just wanted to say thank you for the work you do to people who keep us safe in this community. We know that sometimes we all take certain things for granted and we forget there are people behind those uniforms, with friends and family who love them. We know that everyone has a story, and in all honesty, I think most of us just want to be seen and understood and appreciated for who we are. We just wanted to let them know that they are appreciated. What we, ourselves have learned from this is that no act of kindness is too small. If, in some small measure we can each reach out to another individual and express kindness toward them, no matter who they are or where they come from, then that is how we change the world; one act of kindness at a time. The joy we have received from knowing that we made a small difference in someone else's life makes us want to do it again and again and again. So, be on the lookout. Grateful Citizens (We want to remain anonymous)

TEACHER DISPUTE B. Erickson made some good points in the letter about the teacher dispute, and as a teacher I’m very thankful for the appreciation for our work. However, I’d like to inform readers, including the author, of some things they might not know about teachers, funding, and the job action we’re all going through. But first, let me say that I’m not in this job for the money. I teach because I love this job, because I make a difference for kids and help them succeed and grow. In my district (SD #83), a teacheron-call (TOC) with my education qualifications makes $213.90 per day. As a TOC, I usually teach at the school 8-10 hours a day, so that works out to $26.74 to $21.39 an hour. This is a wage I am very thankful for, but it is short of the $36/hour wage that was claimed the lowest paid teacher makes, and a far cry from the $72/hour one. Also, the estimates are flawed in assuming that teachers only work six hours a day, which I worked out from your wage calculations. Yes, these are the hours of a school day, but I assure you, full-time teachers work many more hours than this, both at school, and at home, including weekends. For the first classroom I taught in 2011-2012, I was at the school for an average of 10 hours

a day on school days (with some 12 hour ones), not counting the homework I took home and times I went back to school on weekends to plan and prepare. For that year my gross income was $44,631, which after pension, EI, income tax, medical/dental and union dues came to $31,248. I am grateful for this salary, as I am in a better position than many. I also went to university for seven years and earned two degrees. Health and pension benefits get deducted from my pay, not added to it. We supply much of our classroom materials out of our own pocket. Also, many teachers, including TOCs and specialist teachers with skills like music, library and counselling travel to different schools each day of the week, and even two in one day. And just like many readers, we do this without mileage being paid. But back to the labour dispute. Unfortunately, wages seem to dominate the discussion in this job action, and that’s not the critical issue at stake. I’d be happy with a cost of living increase, especially after two years of zero. More importantly, I am on strike to return the class size and composition language that was unconstitutionally removed by the government from our collective agreement in 2002. Without that language, there are no limits to class sizes or amounts of special needs

students that can be crammed into one class. Teachers are dedicated, and we do our best, but I invite anyone to volunteer in a class with eight or more IEPs (individual education plans), and say that we have enough supports to fully meet the needs of our students. Cuts to education budgets ($275 million each year since 2002) have also reduced money for field trips, art supplies, teacher-librarians, learning resource teachers, family life education, technology, bus routes, counsellors, psychologists, basic maintenance and custodians. There are schools in B.C. needing seismic upgrades, and some have toxic mold that need to be condemned and replaced, but school boards can’t afford to do it with the shrinking budget the provincial government gives them. Yes, the population of students enrolled in local schools is less than it was years ago, and budgets and costs should reflect that, but much needed upgrades and maintenance shouldn’t be dependent on enrollment numbers. And it doesn’t seem fair that funding for each B.C. student is worth around $1,000 less than the national average. I agree that there is too much hostility between the BCTF and the government, and we are not setting the best example for our kids. I feel

sorry for all families and students who have found this strike costly, and I hoped there was another way to protest the lack of progress at the bargaining table. I teach my students about cooperation and peaceful conflict resolution, and I’d love to see more bargaining in good faith. I also teach critical thinking skills, and that we must always try and find the truth of the matter. For me, it seems the truth is that most teachers care deeply about our students and found we had two options: 1. Go on strike, or 2. Accept bigger, busier, needier classes with less resources and less one-on-one time for our students. The majority of us found option 2 unacceptable. I’m also a new dad, and I want the best public education system possible not just for my son, but for all our kids. We can make this happen if we all inform ourselves of the issues and firmly yet respectfully let our elected officials know that we need to reinvest in our education, our future. It’s entirely affordable too, by the way, if the government chooses from a variety of progressive tax options. For example, increasing 5th tax bracket (greater than $103,000) income taxes by a few percentage points would recoup the funds that have been removed, and this is just one option. The solutions are there; we just need political will, which means we need

an active, engaged and educated public to give the government direction. Please, help me speak up and be heard for our students so we can give them the best possible school experience in September, and put the years of labour turmoil behind us. Blaine Jones

Popular parade results in road closures Morning Star Staff

Presented by the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce, the Interior Provincial Exhibition parade is Saturday Aug. 30, beginning at 10 a.m. sharp. The parade this year features a salute to 100 years of 4H in B.C. and it promises to be fun for all. More than 90 entries have been accepted to date, including community, business, bands, equestrian units, floats, mascots, animal units and vintage vehicles. Viewing area for the parade is along

Pleasant Valley Road beginning at Memorial Park through to the corner of Smith Drive and Rosedale Avenue. Although entries will continue along Rosedale to Pleasant Valley to disband, this is not a viewing area for the parade. The best viewing bet is to take advantage of the green space at Memorial Park and along Pleasant Valley Road across from Armstrong Collison and Armstrong Bottle Depot. A reminder that access into downtown Armstrong will be very limited during the parade.

Visitors are asked to be in town before road closures begin at 9:30 a.m. Can’t get into town before 9:30 a.m? Please use alternate routes via Otter Lake and/or Lansdowne Roads. Avoid the closures and come early. The IPE entry gates open at 7:30 a.m. Come early, get a parking spot, enjoy breakfast at one of the local eateries and then watch the parade before heading to the fair. For more information contact the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce at 546-8155 or e-mail staff@ aschamber.com.

Blue bag recyclables still accepted at landfill Morning Star Staff

The Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) continues to help explain the new

recycling program introduced in May. The RDNO residential, curbside Blue Bag Recycling Program

ended on May 16 and was replaced by the Multi-Material British Columbia (MMBC) Curbside Blue Box

Recycling Program. Residents are strongly encouraged to participate in the new curbside program for the

Packaging and Printed Paper outlined in the MMBC guide which can be found at www.recyclinginbc.ca.

with the introduction of the MMBC program. Customers can continue to drop off blue bag recyclables at all RDNO RDFs at no charge. Residents and businesses who utilize the recycling drop centres provided at RDNO RDFs must bag RDNOaccepted recyclable items including clean paper, cardboard, plastics with numbers 1-7 in the recycling loop (not including styrofoam), as well as food-grade tin and aluminum products. MMBC items including aerosol cans, cardboard milk cartons, coffee cups, pet food bags, or any plastic container without the numbers 1-7 are not accepted at RDF recycling drop centres, and must be placed at the curbside or taken to an MMBC depot. The recycling drop centre at the Greater Vernon Recycling and Disposal Facility (GVRDF) has been upgraded. The blue bag recyclables bin at the GVRDF has been removed in favour of a temporary bunker for bagged (blue bag or clear bag) recyclables. GVRDF customers are requested to simply place their bagged recyclables over the concrete median onto the paved surface. Please stay out of the blue bag marshalling area as heavy equipment is active in this area. Loose, bulk cardboard continues to be accepted in the blue rolloff bins at the GVRDF Recycling Drop Centre, as does glass jars and bottles (place in the designated containers). Styrofoam is also accepted in the shipping container next to the residential drop-off area for garbage, metal, and wood. A drop-off fee applies for Styrofoam. Residents with household hazardous waste may recycle and dispose of items with poisonous or corrosive labels, used oil, fuel and unknown chemical varieties in containers up to 20 litres at the upcoming Household Hazardous Waste Round Up on Saturday, Sept. 13 at the Enderby and Lumby Fire Halls (8 a.m. to 1 p.m.), and the RDNO office parking lot in Coldstream (8 a.m. to 2 p.m.).

Preventable is overturning attitudes on water safety on Mabel Lake this weekend.

Scene buoys water safety measures.” For more information, visit www.preventable. An emotionally stirring scene will be overturning attitudes on water safety on Mabel Lake this ca or follow Preventable on Twitter: @preventable weekend. The Community Against Preventable Injuries is launching its Overturned Boat campaign on Mabel Lake Saturday, and runs through the weekend to raise awareness in advance of the Labour Day long weekend. With summer still in full force, Preventable is reminding everyone of the importance of using a lifejacket, or personal floatation device (PFD), as the easiest and most effective way to prevent drowning deaths this season. Over the 10-year period from 1991-2010, an average 525 Canadians drowned per year. In British Columbia, 54 people drowned in 2011 and 62 more in 2012, an increase of seven per cent. 23 August 22 & Of the 1,335 boating-related fatalities from 2001-2010 in Canada, lifejackets were not properly 4407-29th Street worn in over 71 per cent of cases. Vernon This year, Preventable will again be using the emotionally stirring Overturned Boat campaign 250-549-1221 childhood outfitters (2008) inc. to change attitudes and get people talking about PFD use. The campaign uses a capsized boat tied off at popular shorelines to get people’s attention and spark conversation on PFD use. On Buying the bottom of the boat is a message remindor Selling ing people to wear lifeproperty? jackets and that boaters should take a moment to remind themselves how important and simple it is to take the proper steps to prevent instances of drowning this summer. “Many people aren’t aware of the risks, and think that an accident won’t happen to them.

Tammy Humes gets ready to lead her team Dragon Fire of Kelowna in the Prospera Vernon Dragon Boat Festival Saturday on Kalamalka Lake. Susan Oliverius (below from left), Sharmaine Gregoire and Yancy Ochoa, of the Okanagan Indian Band team Nk’mpalqs, are all smiles after a strong paddle at the festival.

Teams pull together for cause Morning Star Staff

Okanagan Dragon Boat teams are working hard to help the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Society raise the remaining $83,000 needed for the purchase of a digital mammography unit valued at more than $700,000. This past weekend, more than 400 paddlers from clubs in Vernon, Salmon Arm, Penticton, Kelowna, Kamloops and Nelson gathered at Kal Beach for the Prospera Vernon Dragon Boat Festival, which raised another $4,000 towards the goal. This is the third year that Prospera has been the title sponsor for the festival and according to the credit union’s Vernon branch manager, Darrell Oshiro, it is an event that helps to build, strengthen and enhance community life by bringing people together and empowering them to do something that will have a lasting impact on the health and wellbeing of their friends, family and neighbours. “It’s inspiring to see all of the teams out on the water pulling together, supporting each other and really making this a celebration of the human spirit,” said Oshiro, who volunteers at the festival each year alongside his team from Prospera’s Vernon branch.

News Salute to Watermelon

Davison orcharDs photos

Tom Davison cuts a piece of watermelon fresh from the field for Isabella Harmel and mom, Monica McParland Saturday at Davison Orchards. Orchard tours during the Watermelon Festival had a focus on all the melons, how they grow, when theyâ€™re ripe and some guests even had the chance to try a piece of yellow watermelon fresh from the field. Ava Clavelle and Callie Bunbury take part in the watermelon eating competition. The Watermelon Festival also included a Seed Spitting Competition where kids and adults alike ate the watermelon then spit out their seeds as far as they could to try and win some great prizes.

Agreement may slow applications lachlan labere Black Press

Development and temporary use permit applicants may wait longer for approvals as a result of the recently-signed protocol agreement between the District of Sicamous and the Splatsin First Nation. At a committee of the whole meeting, district community planner Mike Marrs stated staff is beginning to see the results of the June 20 agreement and have made collaboration with the band office a priority. “We have done that with the last few projects that we’re dealing with. It will slow us down a bit… but I think it’s going to work well,” said Marrs. “That will be hit and miss – it really will depend on what we have proceeding and where it’s located.” He noted that he has one application for a temporary use permit where the band is seeking permission from the applicant to conduct some historical research on the subject property prior to permit approval. Coun. Charlotte Hutchinson asked what rights the band has regarding private property. Marrs, in response, said he understands where the band is coming from, that they have historical land claims that are important to them, and they want to have that input on those lands. Regarding the TUP application, Marrs said the property already has a seasonal-use development on it. “Frankly, they’ve been doing it for a number of years – they’re just getting around to legalizing what they’re doing.” “We agreed to keep each other in the loop. How far can this go?” pressed Hutchinson, to which Marrs replied it could get quite complicated. Regardless, Marrs said he is supportive of the agreement, as is Coun. Terry Rysz. “I think this is still a proactive way to eliminate historical resistance that we’ve had with First Nations,” said Rysz. Mayor Darrell Trouton said the agreement also speaks to signatories not holding up each other’s business, and argued that referrals to the Splatsin be treated as referrals to other government agencies in terms of specified response times. “If they find something else, maybe then they have jurisdiction to hold us up a little bit,” said Trouton. “But, ultimately, I think we should take the stand that we give everybody a reasonable amount of time with a timeline and, if they don’t respond, they need to know we’ll be moving forward.” Marrs said he agrees, and that this is what is typically done. However, with the protocol agreement, Marrs suggested meetings between district staff and their counterparts at the band office are in order to discuss the handling of smaller or existing applications. “I certainly can see new developments having to go through the more extensive review with them,” said Marrs. “But existing projects or any existing work that’s been through the process prior to – and I’m thinking in particular of Old Town Bay – I do have some concern there.”

Bridge has design for Cougars KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Vernon’s Avery Bridge will bring her super vertical to the Mount Royal Cougars for the upcoming CIS women’s volleyball season.

Hawrys scores in loss

Avery Bridge wasn’t a natural when she first began setting and serving a volleyball. At 18, she’s in the elite class and headed to the Mount Royal Cougars in Calgary as a freshman. “I started in Grade 6 at Hillview and I was iffy,” she laughed. “My older brother, Alec McFarlane, taught me the proper way to hit balls in the backyard. I would watch him in high school games. It’s such a faster game and I really enjoyed watching him.” Bridge fastracked her game under Keith Becker in Grade 8 with the VSS Panthers. She helped the Cats to the provincial tournament her final two years, earning fourth- and seventh-placings. She also lined up on the beach with the Kelowna Junior Heat, coached by Tammy Thomas. Mount Royal head coach Sandra Lamb was first contacted by Bridge during Avery’s Grade 11 season. Lamb scouted Bridge at the Best of the West Tournament in Kelowna and received recommendations from Thomas, also Bridge’s club coach. “The No. 1 thing that stands out is how hard she works, and she’s a really good kid,” said Lamb. “She definitely gets into the ball (smacks it hard). She’s a slight player so we have to work on her strength. She gives it her all and we’ve already seen improvement since we started Aug. 11.” On a weight program at Fitness West earlier this summer, Bridge drew interest from York University Lions in Toronto and Briercrest College Clippers in Saskatchewan, but chose to stay close to home. She is getting a scholarship and will study health sciences with hopes of working as a naturopath doctor. “It’s (Mount Royal) a new program; they’re just getting into the CIS so we’ll be a young team which is exciting,” said Bridge. “They have a massive gym with a rock climbing wall right across from the dorms. I’ll be staying in the same dorm as Toni Vandenbrink (Kal Laker grad who has transferred from the PacWest Douglas College Royals of New Westminster.” The Royals are entering year three in the CIS, finishing two games out of the playoffs last season, at 7-15, good for 10th in the 12-team league. They placed a surprising fourth in the Canada West tournament in their first year. Lamb said the six seniors are all starters, but she will insert a freshman if they show they deserve a bigger role.

After jumping out to a 2-0 lead, Brett Hawrys and the Coquitlam Adanacs find themselves in a best-of-three Minto Cup Junior A Lacrosse series with the Six Nations Arrows. Game 5 went Thursday night at the Langley Events Centre with the series knotted 2-2. The Arrows socked the Adanacs 10-7 in Game 4 of the national series Wednesday night at the LEC.

Hawrys, of Armstrong, scored a third period goal to give him three goals and six points this series. Challen Rogers sniped a pair for the Adanacs, while Josh Johnson buried four goals and two helpers for the Arrows. The Arrows assaulted the Adanacs 19-5 in Game 3 Tuesday night at the LEC. Hawrys was held off the scoresheet, only registering four shots.

March, is up for the challenge with an all-round game. “I like to hit the ball hard and serve hard. I don’t set very often because the power hitter is the centre back and you get lots of action. My defence is pretty good. I dig the harder serves and I hit against bigger girls.” Thomas is high on Bridge, who took second in beach doubles with Quincy Birker of Kelowna in the Okanagan High Avery Bridge Performance league. “Avery is a hard-working athlete, dedicated to being a continuous student of the game of volleyball,” said Thomas. “A powerful hitter and server, Avery brings an infectious, positive energy that helped her succeed, especially on the beach where the mental aspects of the game are truly the toughest. “I believe she will only continue to thrive and bring great energy while being coached by Sandra at the Mount Royal. She will be a great addition to the Cougars and we will miss her back here in the sunny Okanagan.” The smiling Bridge, who gets big support from her folks – Jody and Sheila Bridge – spent the summer working and racing paddle boards at Kalavida Surf Shop. She used to play basketball and was a goalie with the high school soccer Panthers last season. She also enjoys downhill skiing and hiking. The Cougars head to Arizona for matches against Grand Canyon Lopes and Arizona State Sun Devils from Sept. 2-4 and play a pre-season tournament, Sept. 18-20 in Edmonton before the Dino Cup, Oct. 2-3 in Calgary. Mount Royal opens the Canada West schedule Oct. 10-11 against the visiting Brandon Bobcats. Lamb is also excited about signing Vandenbrink, who boosted the Kal Lakers to a provincial title two years ago. Vandenbrink sent the Cougars a video after her stellar freshman season with Douglas. “She is very physical and her work ethic is right there; she’s one of the hardest-working girls out there. She will play outside, either left or right. Her ability to jump is pretty dynamic and once we work on her arm swing, she will pack a powerful punch.” Vandenbrink was named to the PacWest AllRookie team as she led the Royals to a playoff berth. The leading scorers for each side took over in Game 3. Johnny Powless, captain of the Ontario champion Arrows bagged a pair of goals along with five assists, to give him five goals and 19 points. Adanacs’ leading sniper, Eli McLaughlin, finished with two goals and three assists to give him six goals and 16 points. Game 6 is set for Saturday night. If necessary, the seventh and deciding game would be Sunday.

Squires stuff Kaos to finish at 21-0-1 Morning Star Staff

One team was head and shoulders above the rest this summer in the North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters Division. The Dr. Lee/Squires Four Pub, coached by Akbal Mund, moved up from Division 1 and dominated, finishing 21-0-1. The floss crew capped off their dream campaign with a 9-1 dusting of the Shuswap Kaos Tuesday night at MacDonald Park. Jacquie Hansen registered four goals to win the scoring derby with 43, while Sarah Green was Planet Clean Lady of the Match with a goal and three helpers. Jill Rintoul and Lori Shippy supplied singles. The Kaos wrapped up their season at 6-15-1.

Rosters finish on high note

It was a tough season for the Rosters, but they ended it with back-to-back wins. The Rosters edged the Shuswap Merlot 2-1 at MacDonald Park. Becky McLennan scored the opener from Marianne Defoor for the 3-18-1 Rosters. Felicia Musa recorded the winner and Amanda Smiley saved her best performance in net for the finale. The Merlot finished the year 8-12-2.

Sistas and Controllers play even

The Okanagan Season Sistas and the Controllers battled to a 2-2 draw at Marshall Field #3.

Wendy Nadeau made the stops for the Sistas (7-123), while super sniper Diane Neudorf opened the scoring thanks to a gorgeous through ball from Tammy Buick. Genevieve Nice added another for the green team on a marelous free kick. The Controllers put a bow on their season, finishing 9-10-3.

Kickers blank VQA

The Chick Kickers silenced the Vernon Square Liquor Store VQA 3-0 at Marshall Field #1. VQA came out strong and determined in the first half, and for the better part of 45 minutes, out-played the Kickers.

Sports Bennison 4th in nationals

Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s Hannah Bennison is one of the fastest girls in Canada. Bennison finished fourth in the U16 2,000metre race at the Legion National Youth Track and Field Championships in Langley. She raced with 18 other runners and crossed the finish line with a time of six minutes and 25 seconds, only 11 seconds behind the leader, Shona McCulloch of Ont. Sophie Sigfstead of Alta. finished eight seconds ahead of Bennison in third. The Vernon AAA track and field club member burst out of the blocks and carried the lead for the first three laps. The current provincial champion was the fastest from B.C. in her age group. In mid-July, Bennison, a VSS student, won the women’s 14-15 B.C. Athletics 2,000-metre provincial championship race in Kamloops. Bennison beat a field of 14 with a time of six minutes, 28 seconds, four seconds shy of equalling her personal best. Some races at the championships were moved to the evening because of extreme heat in the afternoon.

Mick deals for Danyluk Morning Star Staff

The Salmon Arm SilverBacks have added a hometown sniper to their lineup. The Gorillas traded Vernon product Michael Roberts and future considerations to the West Kelowna Warriors for the Hockey Canada playing rights to 20-year-old centre Shane Danyluk. Danyluk rang up seven goals and 24 points with the Western Hockey League Prince Albert Raiders. He played four years with Prince Albert, producing 25 goals and 77 points in 248 games. “Shane will be a dynamic forward for the ‘Backs this season,” said Salmon Arm GM Troy Mick. “Shane wanted to play his last year of Junior eligibility in his hometown in front of family and friends. We are absolutely thrilled that he will be wearing a ‘Backs jersey this year. When you acquire a player of Shane’s calibre, you have to give up a good player. We wish Michael Roberts the best of luck this coming season.” Roberts, 19, played 63 games with the Vernon Vipers (4-6-10) before being traded to the Surrey Eagles last season. He had 4-8-12 in 24 games with Surrey before being dealt to the Trail Smoke Eaters. Roberts, a winger, played one game for Trail and

then landed with the SilverBacks, earning 4-6-10 in 29 games.

Rivermen, Caps swap defencemen

Meanwhile, the Langley Rivermen have acquired the CJHL playing rights to D Jacob Kearley from the Cowichan Capitals in exchange for the rights to D Charlie Pelnik and futures. Kearly, 19, of Newmarket, Ont., generated six goals and 20 points with the Victoria Grizzlies last year. Pelnik, 19, of North Carolina, had 1-910 with the Rivermen. Smoke Eater forward Robbie Johnson has accepted an offer and will play for the Falcons at Air Force in the 2016-17 season. Johnson, a product of the Pursuit of Excellence Hockey Academy (POE) U-18 produced seven goals and 11 points in just 15 games in the Canadian Sport School Hockey League’s (CSSHL) Prep Division last season. In 14 North American Prospect Hockey League (NAPHL) games, he recorded a goal and three assists. A native of Kamloops, Johnson came on in the latter half of the year and was a pleasant surprise for Trail head coach Nick Deschenes at Smokies’ spring camp in March.

Paal pushes Heat by Falcons Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s Enzo Paal scored twice as the UBC Okanagan Heat shaded the Langara Falcons 2-1 in exhibition college soccer Sunday in Vancouver. The Heat, a new CIS entry for 2014, drew 1-1 with the PacWest Douglas College Royals Saturday. Paal, a second-year forward, paced UBC Okanagan in 2013 with nine goals, as a freshman. His nine were also good enough for third overall in the PacWest. Head coach and recently anointed National ‘A’ License coach Dante Zanatta liked what he saw on the team’s first road trip. “I’m happy with the weekend,” said Zanatta. “The two training games worked well. It gave all players a chance to play and a chance for the coaches to see what they can do. We played strong defensively in both games.” In the two games the only two goals given up by

the Heat were off a set piece. Douglas scored on a free kick, while Langara, also a PacWest team, netted their marker off a corner. As expected the team played better the more they logged minutes on the pitch together, Dante thought this was really reflected on offence. “Overall the team played better on Sunday than on Saturday, especially offensively, where we scored two goals but could have easily notched a few more.” The Heat’s coaching staff played 21 players over the weekend and utilized the scrimmage aspect of the games with liberal use of the free substitutions. “We played all players this weekend and really managed the players load,” said Zanatta, who is very conscious to “not run the kids into the ground.” Third-year defender Brandon McCallum (Yorkton, Sask.) put away a nifty header off a corner for the Heat goal versus the Royals.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder WATCH YOUR ENTRIES FOR TRUMP HANDLING Sue Gardner, a Canadian journalist and former executive director of the Wikimedia Foundation, said, “It’s a funny habit to write encyclopedia entries. It’s not a mass taste.” When Encyclopedia Britannica was still publishing its annual Yearbook, I wrote the bridge entry and did not consider it a funny habit - but each to her or his own taste. We could fill a chunk of an encyclopedia with deals in which players did not watch their entries carefully enough. In this layout, South is in four hearts. West leads the diamond ace. When East signals enthusiastically with his nine, West continues with the diamond king and another diamond. East wins

the third trick with his queen and shifts to a spade. How should South continue? When South jumped to four hearts, he wondered if four spades might have been better, but had no sensible way to investigate. South must play his trump suit without loss. We all know the “eight ever” ditty that advises finessing as the percentage action. But should declarer cash a high heart first? If the suit is 3-2, South will get home if East has the queen and fail when West has her majesty. But if East started with four hearts, he is four times more likely to have the queen than West. (There are four low singletons that West can hold and there is only one singleton queen.) So declarer should

take two heart finesses, which requires two dummy entries. South must overtake his spade jack with dummy’s queen and play a heart to his jack. Then he should overtake his club king with dummy’s ace, repeat the heart finesse, draw trumps and claim.

During the summer, more than 1,300 army cadets from western Canada will have spent up to six weeks in the Okanagan Valley training centre, expanding the training they receive at their home corps, developing new skills and forming friendships. The cadet program is a national program for young Canadians aged 12 to 18 who are interested in participating in a variety of fun, challenging and rewarding activities while learning about the sea, army and air activities of the Canadian Armed Forces. Cadets make valuable contributions to Canadian society on a daily basis in terms of environmental, citizenship and community activities. Cadets also learn valuable life and work skills such as teamwork, leadership and citizenship. And during the program, leadership plays a major role, which is why Lapointe was also recognized. Commander Andy Muir, Commanding Officer of Regional Cadet Support Unit (Pacific) presented Lapointe with a Certificate of Appreciation that reads: “In appreciation of 28 years of exemplary service to Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre. Your professionalism and dedication in providing administrative support have greatly contributed to the smooth operation of the training centre”. Lapointe was also one of the Assistant Reviewing Officers at the Dress Rehearsal for the Sunset Ceremony.

Mine inspections ordered tom fletcher Black Press

Independent engineering inspections have been ordered for Mount Polley mine near Williams Lake and nearly 100 other mine tailings ponds with permits across the province, with reports to be complete by the end of January. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett announced the dual reviews Monday. The Mount Polley investigation is to be complete by Jan. 31 and will be done concurrently with the B.C. government’s legally required probes by B.C.’s chief inspector of mines and the environment ministry, which looks at the longer-term effects of the Aug. 4 tailings spill. Bennett said costs will be covered by Imperial Metals for Mount Polley and by all operators of mines with permits to operate nearly 100 tailings facilities in B.C. “Certainly in the last 40 years there’s no evidence of a tailings dam breach in British Columbia, but rare or not, it happened, and so the public’s confidence I think is shaken,” Bennett said at a news conference in Vancouver. “That’s why we need to get these three experts involved as quickly as we’re getting them involved.” The Mount Polley panel includes UBC mine engineering professor Dirk Van Zyl, U.S. consulting engineer Steven Vick, whose earlier investigations included the 2005 New Orleans levee

breach that followed Hurricane Katrina, and Norbert Morgenstern, an Alberta civil engineering professor who has worked on 140 mine projects. Bennett said the panel was chosen with approval of the Williams Lake and Soda Creek Indian Bands, and their report will be made available to the band councils at the same time as government. Independent inspections of other mine tailings ponds must be completed Dec. 1, a change from the March 31 deadline for inspections that are required annually. Bennett said these inspections will each have to be reviewed by an independent geotechnical engineering firm.

Website set to serve parents

tom fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government has launched a new website to prepare parents for a possible continuation of the teacher strike after Labour Day. The website, bcparentinfo.ca, promises the latest bargaining updates on B.C.’s festering teacher dispute, and will act as a portal for parents registering to collect $40 a day for each child under 12 if the strike drags on. It also offers links to online learning resources from school districts, which have proliferated in recent years. Talks have continued under a media blackout since mediator Vince Ready met the two sides last week. “Mr. Ready agreed to monitor the situation, and to resume exploratory talks or commence full mediation when he believes it will be productive,” the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and B.C. Public School Employers’ Association said in a brief statement. Negotiations broke off and a full-scale strike and lockout ended the school year in June. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Kelleher met both sides earlier but declined to attempt mediation, after finding too large a gap between the two sides. Education Minister Peter Fassbender and BCPSEA chief negotiator Peter Cameron have maintained that the BCTF’s benefit demands remain far beyond those of other public sector unions that have settled contracts. Also at issue is class size and special needs support, with BCPSEA’s latest offer rejected by the union and the latest of a series of court actions scheduled for this fall. Ready’s last involvement in the long-running series of teacher disputes was as an industrial inquiry commissioner in 2007. At that time he recommended that a senior provincial official be involved in talks along with an independent mediator.

So far all of the shows hosted by the new non-profit society, formed this past spring, have included stellar talent, and the upcoming performance is certain to wow loyal fans and capture the attention of new ones. “After two successful shows at the Spitfire Lounge, we are very excited about our upcoming concert at the Okanagan College Vernon campus lecture theatre tomorrow night,” said VFRMS board president Keith Whittingstall. “I think our audience is going to have a great time with Hall of Fame guitar player Wendell Ferguson. I am really looking forward to the show to see this Canadian music legend and as well our opening performer, Jane Eamon. She has just completed a new CD that is drawing rave reviews.” Ferguson may just be the most famous Canadian guitar player you are forgetting you’ve heard of. If you can name a country or folk musician that he has not yet collaborated with, played with, recorded with, or performed on stage with, you likely beat Alex Trebek to “the question” and win all of the pub quizzes in town. But in all seriousness, if you have not tuned

Canadian country-folk artist Wendell Ferguson is the third headliner to take the stage for the newly formed Vernon Folk-Roots Music Society. The concert, featuring opening act Jane Eamon, takes place at the Okanagan College Vernon campus lecture theatre Saturday. in to the guitar genius of Ferguson, now is your chance. Besides, you wouldn’t want to say you missed out on seeing a live and up-close performance by the next inductee into Canada’s Country Music Hall of Fame, would you? Ferguson’s incredible talent on the guitar assures him this prestigious honour, officially taking place Sept. 4 to 7 in Edmonton. This, along with the numerous awards he has earned over the years, attest to the fact that he is a man of rare talent, not to mention comic greatness. Strewn about his living space and likely stacked haphazardly on his fireplace mantle are the CCMA Guitar Player of the Year awards (from 1995 to 2001, until they decided he wasn’t allowed to win anymore), threetime Back-up Band of the Year award (also CCMA), a Vocal Collaboration award for his duet with Russell deCarle of Prairie Oyster

fame, a Juno nomination for his time with the band Coda the West, a Lifetime Achievement award from the Ontario Country Performer and Fan Association after releasing his album The $#!t Hits The Fans, and even first place awards at both the Houston and New York International Indie Film Festivals for his musical short, Wendell’s Cranky Christmas. The latest award on top of that growing pile is for his most recent CD, Menage A Moi, winning Best Instrumental Album at the 2010 Country Folk Music Awards. He has played with fellow greats Shania Twain, Keith Urban, The Dixie Chicks, Gordon Lightfoot, The Arrogant Worms, Tracy Bird, Terri Clark, Deana Carter, and *insert anyone else who is talented and famous in the industry.* In between writing acceptance speeches

and rubbing elbows with the industry greats, Ferguson shares his humour and musical genius at music festivals and stages across Canada, continuing to perform his own original works as well as collaborating with anyone brave enough to share the spotlight with him. Opening for Ferguson Saturday will be the Okanagan’s own Jane Eamon, who is no stranger to the challenge of finding space about the house for music awards. Five B.C. Interior/Okanagan Music awards (three years in a row as Best Folk Artist), eight songwriting prizes, and a string of nominations have garnered Eamon an honoured standing on the local and national folk music scene. The singer/songwriter combines an eclectic mix of blues, folk, gospel, and even Celtic sounds to add a unique depth to the powerhouse performance she is famous for delivering. The VFRMS has more in store this coming season. “Our entertainment committee has been very busy working to ensure we have acts every month, starting in August through to June 2015, and the list is very exciting,” said Whittingstall. “Entertainers from Manitoba, Alberta, Alabama, Texas and British Columbia are on our upcoming event list. They are not to be missed.” Becoming a member of VFRMS guarantees concert goers an inside scoop on all upcoming shows, and even the chance to help out at a show or two. The VFRMS will be selling memberships at the door to Saturday’s concert, and all current members will receive $5 back at the door if they buy a ticket. “We are also seeking additional volunteers to assist with some of the responsibilities,” said Whittingstall, adding, “Thank you to all those who have indicated they would like to help out.” Doors open at 7:15 p.m., with Eamon taking the stage at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20, available in advance online at www.vernonfolkroots.com, at the Bean Scene coffee house, or at the door.

Aussies to squeak out genre bending show at Lorenzo’s Morning Star Staff

One of the premier Australian blues-folk rock outfits is travelling way up north for a tour that brings the band to this neck of the woods. Recording artists the Murder Mouse Blues Band appear at Lorenzo’s Café in Ashton Creek Saturday as part of the band’s The Thirst, The Hunger and The Horn CD release tour.

The album was featured in the November, 2011 issue of Rolling Stone Magazine. Founded in 2008 by Adam Morris, a singer-songwriting juggernaut, Murder Mouse has quickly become a national force in Australian music. Joining Morris in the band is multi-instrumentalist, composer, songwriter and record producer Jon Edwards, who

plays blistering harp, electric, slide, lap steel, mandolin and banjo. “We do some serious genre bending, so our music has touches of country, Irish folk, early ‘50s rock, some Jazz, Bernard Herman/ Ennio Morricone type atmospherics, swamp, juke and pre-war nightclub blues. It’s all over the shop, just the way it should be,” said Morris in an interview with

the Independent Music Awards, where the band was nominated for Blues Recording of the Year (for the song Apocalypse Blues off the album Fill the Hole) at the ninth annual awards in 2011. In addition, Australian national radio station Triple J’s Unearth competition recently charted the Murder Mouse Blues Band as the number one roots band for the entire compe-

tition. Unearth is contested by more than 20,000 bands nationwide. Saturday’s show at Lorenzo’s starts at 8 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. and cover is $10. The café is located at 901 Mabel Lake Rd. eight kilometres east of Enderby. Call 250-8386700 for reservations/info. More info on the band is available at www.murdermousebluesband.com.

Godfather of Soul vs. grandpas with guns Get On Up

LIonsgate FILms

Antonio Banderas, from left, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dolph Lundgren, Wesley Snipes, Sylvester Stallone, Randy Couture, and Jason Statham are just some of the friendly faces you’ll see in The Expendables 3.

The Expendables 3

here are four movies to review this week, so today’s review is a two for one. Get On Up is the story of the Godfather of Soul, James Brown (Chadwick Boseman) Taylor and Howe and his rise from poverty to superstardom. Directed by Tate Taylor (The Help, Winter’s Bone), Get On Up promises to be a raw, unbridled film that tells the “real story” and there’s even a bit of Oscar talk buzzing. While I feel the film is well made and Boseman (who played Jackie Robinson in 42) should be nominated for Best Actor because he disappears into the role, channelling Brown’s voice, mannerisms and dancing, the film itself is a bit light, glazing over the details. Coming in at two hours, 18 minutes, the film has ample time to help audiences understand both where Brown came from and why he was such a hard man to know and like. Yet, with long musical numbers, including three complete performances as well as plenty of rehearsing, Get On Up is nearly wholly a musical. The remaining time is left hitting

Chadwick Boseman disappears into the role of James Brown in Get On Up . the high and low points, with subtle candour and a surprising amount of humour. It seems like Taylor has chosen to make a film that entertains, more than it tells the truth. So it is illustrated that Brown was difficult to work for, had issues with drugs and beat his wives, but these things take a back seat so that we can come to believe that the hardest working man in show business deserves his place in musical history. Above all, James Brown must be likeable. He really isn’t, other than as an oddity. Finally, Get On Up is another film where the characters look into the camera and address the audience directly, which I feel is lazy filmmaking. However, I did like the way this gimmick

worked out, because at first Brown is cocky and strutting, then when he starts screwing up his own life and the lives of others, he’ll only give the audience sideways glances, guilty, like he’d rather you weren’t seeing this part of the story. In the end, this helps humanize the superstar and make the story happier. The second film up for review requires fewer words to describe. Surprisingly, I enjoyed The Expendables 3 much more than I did the previous two. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a hyper-violent cavalcade of mayhem, but as I watched it, waiting for something bad to happen, it never did. I simply don’t like these kinds of movies. However, this last one seemed to take itself a little more seriously than its predecessors. I found the characters (I can’t believe I’m saying this) more believable in this film. There were moments where I thought they cared for each other and had reasons for doing the

things they do. While it’s true that Sylvester Stallone’s acting has been reduced to walking, moving his eyes and opening and closing his mouth such that something resembling words may escape, in this film he plays an older soldier, nearing retirement, so it works. There are so many guest stars in The Expendables 3 that I’d need another page to list them and it was fun to see them all. Some shine more than others and I don’t want to spoil any surprises by telling you too much. If you need an overdose of spinecrunching action or are a fan of the series, do not miss The Expendables 3. – Taylor gives Get On Up 3.5 sex machines out of 5. – Taylor gives The Expendables 3 2.5 hearing aids out of 5. Get On Up is playing at the Vernon Towne Cinema. The Expendables 3 is playing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Last Music in the Park features local act Morning Star Staff

It’ll be a hometown revelry at tonight’s Valley First Music in the Park in Armstrong. Playing the last free outdoor concert of the summer is The Whiskee Zippers, a band consisting of musicians who call Armstrong and Spallumcheen home. Members of the musically motivated group – Harry Morgan on guitar and vocals, Mike Brooks on mandolin, Gaz Jordan on lead guitar, Rod MacDonald on up-right bass and Patrick Simpson on banjo – say they enjoy generating alternative folk-rock music with a twist of fun. The core group initially got together to help their friend Morgan record a CD for his family and friends.

With Brooks sharing his musical knowledge and knowhow, they practised through the long winter and started to sound like a band. The Whiskee Zippers have since gone on to play coffee houses and open mics, and

more gigs are in store, including tonight’s last Valley First Music in the Park of the summer. Put on by the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce and Valley First credit union in Armstrong’s Memorial

Park, the show starts at 7 p.m. and non-perishable food items will be accepted for the Valley First Feed the Valley program. Donations for the program can also be made at the nearest Valley First branch, on

Canada’s ace of bass Chin Injeti: The Reverb

anadian musician/producer Chin Injeti’s new solo album, recorded in Vancouver, is dense with groovy beats and light, airy vocals. Injeti’s penchant for low-end and bass hooks is Dean Gordon-Smith prevalent – a long-term carry over from his time in Toronto hip hop trio Bass is Base. The Reverb is a futuristic sounding record with a trippy collage of short running songs (Nice to Meet You, Dance) that add modernist hip hop sound tracks behind ambitious songs like I Don’t Know Where We Are. Injeti brings in vocalist Sophia Danai who brings an urban vibe to the dreamy neo-soul track. The electronic airiness that runs through the album’s centre is funky and vaguely robotic at times (Dance,

The

Collision). Injeti’s bass and keyboard centred grooves play along free and easy with the tracks, allowing the atmospherics to soar while they keep the songs pinned down. The Reverb has an affinity for the world view of Giorgio Moroder and Daft Punk, where the weirdness of synths, bass and assorted electronics is skillfully shaped into a natural partner for foundational thump-heavy rhythms that are progressive and funky. Throwback features this signature light and beat-happy sound, along with a suitably electro voiced performance from David Banner. A garage friendly psychedelic touch coasts through the playful groove of Black Skeletons while Currency and Wherever We Go Tonight has the bounce and adventurous arrangement of early Prince material. Injeti and his collaborators bring together a smooth merger of urban soul sensibility with exploratory hip hop based electro ideas. The Reverb is imaginative and dreamy – a groovy lullaby of airy electronic songs.

Three brothers enlist in 1914 Cara Brady Morning Star Staff

The Kivell brothers were teenage orphans, surviving on odd jobs on farms when they decided to enlist, looking for adventure, a regular paycheck and some decent clothes and boots. The boys had been on their own for three years before that and they always stuck together and stood up for each other. Different in looks and temperament — Ed had red hair and was a leader, Clarence had blue-black hair and was moody, and Bert had white-blond hair and was laid back — they were nicknamed the Red, White and Blue. There was an unbreakable bond. Ed’s daughter, Coldstream resident Lenore Streicker, wants to tell their story. “I’m the family historian. I’m the last of my generation and I’m the last one to tell the story,” said Streicker, who is 84. “Their mother died in 1899 and their father in 1903 and they lived with an uncle until Clarence was 13, and the others 12 and 10, but the uncle found they were hard to handle and turned them out on their own. In 1914 they walked 16 miles from Kennedy, Saskatchewan, to Moosomin, where they joined the First Hussars Canadian Light Horse because they knew horses and they thought it would be more interesting than the infantry. At first, their dreams came true. “They were small men. Dad was the tallest at 5’6” and wiry and athletic. They did well with the training and horsemanship and Dad was the boxing champion of the unit.” The first setback was when Ed was rapidly promoted to sergeant and ordered to stay in Canada to train new recruits. He lost no time in starting to grow a forbidden mustache leading to demotion to private so he could go overseas with his brothers. Their first big battle was in Somme, France, July to Nov. 1916, under Allied command. “They didn’t really talk about the war unless they were together and we kids would listen in to hear the horror stories – the disease and filth and fear – and the funny stories,” said Streicker. “The horse charges were used a lot in the beginning of the war but the German artillery would mow them down. Dad had three horses shot from under him and was wounded twice. They stopped using the horse charges later and used surprise attacks and skirmishes, where the Canadians

Ed Kivell, 17, left, Clarence Kivell, 18, and Bert Kivell, 15, after they enlisted in the First Hussars Canadian Light Horse in 1914 in Moosomin, Saskatchewan. were very successful. “Dad got a reputation for being fearless but he said he had become a fatalist. One morning before a battle, a comrade came to him and said he knew he would be killed that day. Ed exchanged places with him to ride point, at the very front of the charge. The other man, in a position he was not supposed to be in, was killed and Ed, in his place, had his horse shot from under him

and was wounded.” Ed took his fatalism to the muddy trenches, where he would read and write letters as incoming shells whistled around him. He received four medals for bravery, included the Belgian Croix de Guerre, but he was modest. “He said you got medals if an officer saw what you did but that everybody did brave things every day and they were all just trying to survive and help each other,” said Streicker.

Ed also served as a motorcycle messenger and building railways. He stayed in Europe in the occupation forces, which made him anti-war as he found the German people to be friendly and welcoming in spite of the suffering they had undergone. He remembered having a good time at dances behind the lines before the war ended, strictly forbidden but a chance to know the Germans as just people trying to make the best of things. He learned to speak fluent German and French to get to know the people. The brothers also fought at Amiens, Vimy Ridge, Passchendaele and Ypres. In some battles, one in three servicemen died but all of the brothers came home. There is a war time love story here. “Dad carried Mom’s picture with him for the whole time he was overseas but he didn’t know then that he would marry her. It was a group photo of a lawn party which included the girl he was writing to and a younger girl who thought it must be very romantic to get letters from a soldier. The older girl lost interest in writing and the younger one, Eleanor, took over writing. They continued writing when Ed came home and went to work in Detroit and she was at university studying math,” Streicker said. They were married when he came back from Detroit and raised their family in Moosomin. Streicker remembers a happy marriage and childhood for her and her siblings. Her father was a community leader and manager of the local credit union. Her mother said sometimes he would wake up crying but would never say why. He died in his 60s. “When the Second World War broke out, he almost couldn’t believe what was happening. He was afraid it would go on long enough that my brother would be old enough to join,” she said. Clarence went on to farm in Manitoba, where he and his wife and three sons died in a house fire in the 1940s. Bert never married and was a vacuum cleaner salesman in Winnipeg. He lived to be 95. “I’ve been digging for the family history for years, they didn’t talk about it much, it was just what I overheard. I’m keeping up my research,” said Streicker, who went on to become a teacher and she and her late husband, Marty, had four children. There are now seven grandchildren with the first two great-grandchildren expected this month.

Local Wiccan celebrates book release

Need Prayer? 778.475.0592 leave message

Submitted to The Morning Star

Vernon business owner and Wiccan practitioner Sable Aradia (Diane Morrison) always knew she wanted to be a writer. Witchcraft was something she discovered as a teenager. “It felt like coming home,” said Morrison, otherwise known as Lady Sable Aradia to people in the metaphysical community and now as her pen name. “Intuitive beliefs that I had felt all my life suddenly had a name.” Wicca is a pantheistic religious path that believes in the sacredness of nature. Wiccan practitioners, often known as witches, believe that they can influence the world around them through the force of their will. “Other people call it creative visualization, the power of positive thinking or the law of attraction. Witches call it magic,” said Sable. The born and raised Vernonite was so committed to her path that she became a legally-recognized Wiccan minister and opened a metaphysical store (The Threads that Bind Us) in Vernon. Her husband’s near-fatal car accident almost destroyed all of that. “But in many ways it was a catalyst,” said Sable. “I learned that life was too short to delay your dreams, so I started writing again, which I hadn’t done since high school.” In 2009, Morrison started work on what would become her first book, The Witch’s Eight Paths of Power. She submitted it to Red Wheel/Weiser, a major New York metaphysical book publisher, in 2012. “I wanted them because they had both an excellent reputation and a wide distribution,” she said, adding she expected to collect a few rejection slips. She didn’t. “It’s kind of like being struck by lightning, but they snapped it up right away.” Sable will be celebrating The Witch’s Eight Paths of Power’s Sept. 1 release with a book tour, beginning at Expressions of Time bookstore in downtown Vernon Aug. 29, concurrent with the Avenue Market that evening. “I read tarot there now, so it was the logical place to do it,” she said. Sable will be appearing in several other venues throughout the Okanagan and Western Canada through September and October, including the Gypsy Bazaar in Enderby, Mosaic Books in Kelowna, and White Lioness Metaphysical in

This unique 1908 silk wedding gown with pleated skirt design is among the wedding dresses showcased at The Evolution of the Wedding Gown exhibit at the Vernon museum.

The Greater Vernon Museum and Archives has turned several whiter shades of pale with its new exhibit. The Evolution of the Wedding Gown is the brainchild of museum archivist Barbara Bell and registrar June Mitchell, who both agreed the museum could use a little feminine touch. “The exhibit is something they’ve both had in the back of their minds for some time and has finally come to fruition,” said museum marketing and communications coordinator Denise Marsh. “This beautiful dis-

The Third Day. 3 stands for that which is solid, real, substance, complete and entire. Isa. 6:3: “Three times the seraphim cry: “Holy holy holy.” Revel. 4:8: “the 4 beasts...rest not day or night saying, Holy holy holy.” The 3 things predicated of God: “God is love, Walk in love, Good is spirit, God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.” 1 Cor. 15:4: “he (Christ) rose again on the third day according to the scriptures..” Man’s three great enemies: the World, the Flesh, and the Devil.

ParticipACTION offers backpack must haves Morning Star Staff

Canadian parents look to structured activities to get their kids moving, but shouldn’t forget about the importance of free, unstructured play. The before-, duringand after-school periods are opportune times for spontaneous, outdoor play and getting to and from places on foot. For back-to-school, ParticipACTION provides parents with a few backpack must-haves to encourage their children to be active throughout the school day. “Sport leagues, programs and school activities are essential, valuable components of getting our kids to be more active, but kids need to do more than that, and more often,” said Elio Antunes, president and CEO of ParticipACTION. “Our kids are missing out on opportunities for spontaneous movement — such as getting to places on foot and playing freely outdoors. So, let’s pack our kids’ backpacks for active play!” ParticipACTION’s backpack must-haves to encourage active play: n Pedometer – Let children log the total amount of steps they take in a day and make a game out of getting healthy. n Rubber ball/chalk/ skipping rope – 63 per cent of kids’ free time is spent being sedentary, so send kids to school with something to encourage spontaneous, active games with friends. n Mobile phone – Parents worry about the safety of their kids. A phone can help them stay in touch while their kids walk to and from school, or play outside with friends. n Jacket – Weather is one barrier to active play, so make sure children are ready for rain or shine. n Sun hat and sunscreen – Kids need a sun hat and sunscreen in order to protect them from the rays and enjoy outdoor play. n Helmet – Wheeling to and from

school will quickly add up to a much healthier lifestyle, as will walking or running. With

62 per cent of parents saying their children are always driven to and from school, why not

let them walk or wheel? It’s important for parents to remember not to over-pack. Experts rec-

ommend that kids carry no more than 10-15 per cent of their total body weight.

Escaping the city heat for the cool of the high country On a muggy, scorching hot summer’s day, what better vehicle than the aptly named Highlander for a high-altitude scenic drive to find some cool, crisp mountain air and sink a foot in a glacier. All-new for 2014, Highlander Hybrid is the fuel-efficient and eco-friendlier version of what Toyota describes as its mid-sized SUV, but it sure looks and feels bigger than most in this class,

‘‘

You probably will recover that extra investment in this Highlander hybrid while doing your ecopart to save a world that looks pretty good from high up on Mount Baker.

Bob McHugh

’’

plus it can seat up to seven (or eight). Wider and longer than last year, this Highlander is also lower and, more importantly from a driving perspective, it has a lower centre of gravity. There was a time when Highlander looked like an SUV, with an angular two-box design. Its styling lines have softened with successive redesigns and now if you put Highlander beside its Camry-based wagon sibling, the Venza, you need a second look to tell them apart. Not sure if that’s a good thing, but I do like its more car-like driving dynamics. Not far south of the Canadian border, Mount Baker is a glacier-covered mountain that rises 3,286 m (10,781 ft) above sea level, which is over 900 m (3,000 ft) higher than Whistler, the best-known mountain in BC. Mount Baker is also regarded as the second most active volcano in the Cascade Mountain Range, after Mount St. Helens, but there’s been nary a puff since 1880.The Mount Baker Highway (Hwy. 542) starts in Bellingham (exit #255 off the I-5), winds east through a number of small communities and offers some interesting side tours along the way, before it climbs steeply and ends at Artist Point (1,567 m / 5,140 ft.). This large parking lot, which is about 10 km beyond the ski area, is closed during the winter months and has spectacular panoramic views, plus a selection of great hiking trails. The highway crosses the Nooksack River at Nugent’s Corner and tracks east, alongside the north fork of the river, through old growth areas in the Mount Baker Snoqualmie National

Forest. Allow about 1.5 hours of leisurely drive time in each direction. You’ll also need a ($5) day pass to park, which you get from automated dispensers at the Glacier Public Service Center or at Heather Meadows near the skiing area. The Hybrid Synergy Drive system in Highlander uses a 3.5L Atkinson Cycle V6 gas engine, a high torque electric motor-generator and powerful traction battery. It boasts 10 additional horsepower (280 net horsepower) over the gas-only model, yet uses almost 30 per cent less fuel. Although Toyota has done an admirable job of masking it, Highlander Hybrid is a weighty (2,200 kg) vehicle, and has the usual characteristics of a heavy vehicle. It’s more than fine in a straight line and while handling is laudably predictable, it didn’t seem to like being tossed around on the twisty sections of the highway. Then again, that’s the norm in this class of vehicle. Side Trips: Mount Baker Vineyards and Winery has a tasting room, offers tours, has a picnic area and is open Thursday through Sunday, noon to 5:00 p.m. It’s about 3 km east of the Nugent’s Corner roundabout, where you can also spot the historic Bethany Church (built in 1907) landmark. Nooksack Falls is just a short (and groomed) gravel road off the highway about 11 km (7 ml) east of Glacier, which is the last community along the highway. You do have to scramble over some (slippery when wet) rocks to get to a good (and safe) fenced viewing area. The water takes a spectacular 30 m (100 ft) plunge, so a close-up view is definitely worth the extra effort. Interesting Eating Places: Anthony’s is an excellent choice for lunch or dinner in Bellingham. Situated in the harbour area it overlooks the marina and has views of the San Juan Islands. Great service, great fare (especially the seafood), all tables come with a view and the prices are very reasonable, compared to Vancouver. An after-meal stroll around the picturesque marina walkway also allows you to ogle hundreds of boats and yachts up close.

Web site: anthonys.com The North Fork Brewery, Pizzeria, Beer Shrine and Wedding Chapel is an out of the ordinary and rewarding halfway (going or returning) restaurant stop on the Mount Baker Highway that’s known locally as “The Shrine”. Don’t be put off by the long name or its rustic appearance as the food is delicious and there’s an awesome selection of fresh brewed-on-site handcrafted beers.

As wonderful as the last WRX was in terms of handling and power, the interior let it down. It was too bland, especially considering the top STI models can cost well over $40,000. This 2015 has been vastly improved but has a few niggly items that could be improved. The dash is covered with soft touch materials, the centre console has a better design, with a three easy to use heat and ventilation controls. The rest of the dash has been cleaned up with a much better looking design and more attention to colours and textures. The radio and accompanying Bluetooth system was horrible to pair with my Android phone and I had to do it several times after the initial pairing procedure to stay connected. The armrest for the driver is far too low to be of any use and the speedo and tach readouts are far too small to read quickly. Plus, the key needs to used to release the trunk, I couldn’t find a trunk resale anywhere on the car. What the

Subaru has done a good job with the WRX, the STI and the BRZ. Sporty design, powerful engines and AWD help but so too does price. The starting price is $29,995 and the most expensive WRX is $36,795. Compared with the closest competitors, the VW Golf GTI and Ford Focus ST, this car is right on the money but comes with AWD, whereas the others don’t. As much fun as this car is, even with the new automatic, the small details need to be improved.

WRX does have is room for all passengers with big doors and very easy access, with a bigger trunk (once you can get it open) than the last model.

What the WRX is all about is providing a sporty drive and now it is available to a wider range of buyers thanks to a new automatic transmission. Subaru wants to sell more cars, not less, and by adding an automatic for a generation of buyers who might not know how to drive stick, is a major step. This is not your average automatic, it is a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that has one gear but the ratio of the gear is changed. This, along with the standard 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with 268hp, produces a surprising snap at all speeds. Yes, a If a car is offered 6-speed automatic is still available but this new CVT makes the WRX easy to drive in town and with front-wheel it can fly when it is placed in the sportiest setdrive or AWD, most ting. Other than the new automatic, the most people will go for the notable change is the much stiffer suspension and tighter steering feel. The front springs are latter. 39% stiffer than the last WRX and the rears Zack Spencer are 62 percent stiffer. This, along with a more rigid platform and tighter steering makes a very sharp feeling car. It might be too sharp for buyers who live with very bumpy roads.

Back in 2011, Subaru introduced the WRX to look like the bolder and more powerful STI version, complete with bulging fender flares, hood scoops and aggressive attitude. This really helped to propel the WRX into another gear in terms of sales. To follow up on this idea, the latest 2015 model too has an edgy design similar to the more powerful STI version. It is the same overall length as the last model but the wheelbase is longer, making bigger doors and the designers were able to slope the front and rear windows and crop the roof a tad, to provide a sleeker profile. The front grille now has a more polished look but the wheel size is only 17-inches, making the car look too big for the size and track of the wheels. The STI only comes with 18-inch wheels that are too small as well. One big advantage is the side mirrors have been moved from the windshield pillar to the door, making the side class much bigger for improved outward visibility.

Subaru has been on a tear over the last few years, selling more and more vehicles to Canadians who the idea of owning a Japanese engineered all wheel drive (AWD) car. AWD is the secret sauce. We live in a country with inclement weather and the trend is to AWD as people experience it and want it in their next vehicle. If a car is offered with front-wheel drive (FWD) or AWD, most people will go for 2015 Subaru WRX the latter. Subaru provides this as standard equipment on all its cars, except the sporty BRZ that was co-developed with Toyota. Subaru then layers on more power and sporty features into their compact car, the Impreza, to develop the WRX and WRX STI rally-inspired cars. These have been incredibly popular, once again, because they come with AWD and the closest competitors do not.

People who pass in the curb lane rather than take a free left lane are nuts.

In one situation, you enjoy yourself and get more done without having to micromanage. In another, it’s just exhausting. The latter of the two can be likened to driving. If you’re in a car that you don’t connect with, everyday routine can be even more arduous than it has to be. Its quirks rub you the wrong way.

It blends another type of horsepower, with grace and poise. When I slipped inside the cabin of the all-new TLX, pushed the start button, then selected the “D” button on the centre console, and drove off, confidence was apparent from the get go. It’s a vehicle that was designed with performance in mind from the ground up. Furthermore, its chassis features a newly designed four-wheel independent

TLX has a mode for you! continued from page B15

This feature allows drivers to customize their driving experience through four selectable modes – ECON, Normal, Sport and Sport+. Depending on which setting you’re using, Acura says, “IDS will adjust power-steering effort, throttle response, transmission shift logic, HVAC system operation, and the control logic for either the P-AWS or SH-AWD systems. The new Sport+ mode, a first for Acura, unlocks the full performance potential of the TLX with the most aggressive settings in all areas.” Whether you want that extra bit of gusto, or you are driving around town, the TLX has a mode for you! Three TLX models will be offered. The first comes with a 2.4-litre, i-VTEC inline-4 engine with an 8-speed Dual

Clutch Transmission (8DCT) with torque converter, and Precision All-Wheel Steer (P-AWS). It has an output of 206 horsepower and 182 lb-ft of torque. Then there’s a trim with a 3.5-litre, i-VTEC V6 engine with a 9-speed automatic transmission and P-AWS. That produces 290 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque, and gets 10 more horsepower and 13 more lb-ft of torque versus the 2014 TL 3.5-litre engine. Lastly, there’s the TLX SH-AWD with next-generation Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive, available only with the 3.5-litre, 290 horsepower V6 and 9-speed automatic. Eventually, both the TSX and TL will be succeeded by the TLX. It makes sense. Dimensionally, the TLX will be positioned

between the ILX entry-luxury sedan and the RLX flagship Acura sedan. There’s room for five, 405L of cargo room around back and many places to store your personal items. Sure there are sportier offerings in the segment. The new Mercedes-Benz C-Class is one of them. So is the Audi A4. But what works for the TLX is its understated elegance. It’s very pleas- 2015 Acura TLX ant to drive, and with a centre stack that’s been stripped of unnecessary experience in both the 4 and 6 cylinbuttons, it’s a lot more user friendly to der TLXs to be pleasant.

At home on the Serengeti and the BC backroads By Ian Harwood

The Land Rover LR4 was not what I was expecting, instead it was a pleasant surprised.

LOOKS: I’m used to seeing bulky and cumbersome old Land Rovers on the back roads, spinning out rocks while attempting a hill climb and shaking the occupants to bits! Fast forward to today’s version of the Land Rover and you will find an outstanding front end that is easily recognized with the signature grille and projector style headlights. Also feature are those trend setting side vents on the front fenders, much copied in the aftermarket. And the large rear glass panels that extend up into the roof line make the overall appearance very clean looking and unique. Optional 20 inch rims are worth the upcharge.

IN THE CAB:

WELL EQUIPPED:

HWY: 7.2L/100 KM CITY: 10.0L/100 KM▼

The 2015 TLX has a starting MSRP for the 4-cylinder engine at $34,990.

My first impression after climbing into the cab was one of disbelief. I did not expect that level of comfort. The sight lines are amazing and the blind spot was almost non-existent. The rear seats had plenty of room for adults and the cargo area was adequate. The heated leather wrapped

CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY LABOURERS - REQUISITION # 33564 BRITISH COLUMBIA Tired of the same old thing? At Canadian Pacific you can be part of something historic. You have a chance to make a difference, to see Canada, and build a future.

Bill was born in Princeton, BC but spent most of his adult life in Abbotsford, where he worked for the LCB and raised his family. He reƟred to Vernon in 2006. He loved to Įsh, golf and puƩer in the garden; but what was most important to him and what he considered his priǌed possession was his family; we would all do well to follow the eǆample that he set. Live each day, love each day, give a hug each day and look back with no regrets. Bill loved all of us uncondiƟonally with no strings aƩached. We are all trying to Įll the huge gap that is now in our lives.

Canadian Pacific is one of Canada’s most iconic companies. We move the goods that keep the world turning, and we’re on our way to doing it better than anyone else. To get there, CP is looking for some adaptable, hard-working, safetyconscious, and results-driven people to join our force of labourers.

He also leaves his beloved mom Puī; his two dear sisters Lynn and JeaneƩe (Clayton) and family; and Grandpa Nick (Donna). Missing and mourning also are Pat, Michael and Belinda, Jeī and Sheralyn and family, Chad and Carla, and Frank and Renay. A special thank you to all of our family members who supported us and each other in diīerent ways through this trying Ɵme. Thank you Dr. Schuch, Dr. Rankin and Dr. Spooner. DonaƟons in Bill’s name can be made to your local SPCA. Eǆpressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family at dignitymemorial.ca

We love you We miss your laugh And most of all, we miss you… Where the river joins the sea so shall we…

With heavy hearts, the family of Bill announces his passing aŌer his courageous Įght with cancer. He fought his baƩle with strength, dignity and no complaint, the same way he lived his life. He spent his last days at home surrounded by family that he loved.

He leaves behind his wife, the love of his life and best friend, Bonnie; his two much-loved sons and daughters in law, Bill and Cherilyn and their children Ashlee and Logan, James and Samantha. He loved his two grandchildren as much as anyone could͙they now follow Grandpa’s star in the night sky.
