Parents could be waiting as late as Friday to find out if school will be starting as planned on Sept. 3. The Vernon School District superintendent and board chairperson issued an update letter to parents on the ongoing labour dispute between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the B.C. Public School Joe Rogers Employers’ Association. “Unfortunately, the two parties have not been able to come to an agreement at the bargaining table,” said Superintendent Joe Rogers and board chairperson Bill Turanski in the signed letter. “While we are hopeful that the two parties will reach a negotiated settlement before schools are due to open Sept. 3, a deciBill Turanski sion on school opening will likely not be made until next Friday, Aug. 29.” A professional development day is scheduled for Sept. 2, which staff will use to prepare for the return of students if a settlement can be reached. “This will allow both parties the maximum amount of time to reach a settlement,” the release states. The local school district hopes to see the labour dispute resolved quickly so schools can return to normal operations and begin the school year on a positive note. “It is unfortunate that the normally exciting beginning to a new school year has been reduced to this level of uncertainty. This is a frustrating and difficult time for students, parents and staff,” states the release. “We are most concerned about the effect that this continued labour dispute has on our students.” Parents can check for further updates at www.sd22.bc.ca as well as through the media, especially over the long weekend.

Plaques recognize Canada’s dark past ROGER KNOX

T

Morning Star Staff

o Andrea Malysh, her great grandfather was Wasyl Luchak. To the Government of Canada, Luchak was POW #894, spirited for reasons unknown off the family farm in Hamlin, Alta. at the outset of the First World War in 1914 and moved to an experimental farm at Spirit Lake, Que., 300 miles north of Montreal. Spirit Lake was one of the largest interment camps in Canada, holding more than 1,200 so-called enemy aliens, declared an enemy because of where their passports said they came from. “We have no idea why he was taken off the farm,” said Malysh of Vernon, Friday, at the simultaneous unveiling of 100 plaques across Canada recalling Canada’s first national interment operations from 1914-1920. Malysh, representing the Canadian First World War Internment Recognition Fund, served as master of ceremonies at Friday’s plaque unveiling ceremony at the Sunflower mural on the back of the Sutton Real Estate building. It was one of 100 plaques unveiled at the same time across Canada (a plaque was also unveiled in Enderby at the Drill Hall), marking the 100th anniversary of the signing of the War Measures Act. “The act is about human rights on its most fundamental level,” said Malysh, referring to the 8,579 mostly Ukrainians, Germans, Croatians, Polish, Bosnians, Czechs, Hungarians, Lithuanians, Serbians, Slovaks, Romanians, Bulgarians and Armenians who were loyal civilians of Canada, but deemed enemy aliens. Friday’s ceremony was personal for Malysh. “Our family came over in 1903 leaving an oppressed society to come to Canada and help open up the West with free land and farmers,” she said. “They were literally sideswiped by having

to report (when the war broke out) because of the passport they came over with, which was Austro-Hungarian. It was not for anything they’d done, but they were forced to register as enemy aliens.” The mostly Ukrainians and other European ‘enemy aliens’ had to register and get a card stamped on a monthly basis, paying $2 per stamp, to prove they were not doing anything else other than farming, and not putting fear into the government. One of the internment camps was set up in Vernon, where Seaton Secondary School is today. The Vernon and District Family History Society discovered seven crumbling headstones in the northwest corner of the Pleasant Valley Cemetery, and, through research, discovered that seven graves belonged to people who died at the internment camp in Vernon.

North Okanagan-Shuswap MP Colin Mayes, Derek Hall, representing Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster, and Vernon Mayor Rob Sawatzky helped Malysh unveil the plaque permanently entrenched in the wall of the Sutton building. The four also laid commemorative wreaths at the base of the plaque. “It is important for all Canadians to understand the full scope of our history, including its more difficult periods,” said Mayes. “The unveiling of these 100 commemorative plaques will remember and honour all victims of Canada’s first national internment operations.” Rev. Richard D. Schulz of the Peace Lutheran Church and Very Reverend Roman Trynoha of Assumption St. Mary Ukrainian Orthodox Church, both in Vernon, blessed the plaque. “May this memorial be a godsend, a constant reminder, a small symbol of justice, to all

who view it, of the wrongs perpetrated against loyal citizens of Canada,” said Schulz. “Let it be a sign of our loving kindness and let it serve as a constant reminder to all future generations of the need to do justice for the victims of injustice.” Close to 50 people attended the Vernon ceremony including Ukraine native Nick Petrykiw, 88, a member of St. Josaphat’s Ukrainian Catholic Church since arriving in Vernon in 1973 with his late wife, Katherine. “Ukrainian history is filled with misery from invasions and something like this,” said Petrykiw. “You can’t get away from it. Today, is something special. It’s an honourable thing. I am going to keep these people in my mind and in my heart.” Two other commemorative plaques will be put up at St. Josaphat’s Ukrainian Catholic Church and the Assumption of St. Mary Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Vernon.

Master of Ceremonies Andrea Malysh of the Canadian First World War Internment Recognition Fund welcomes close to 50 people gathered for the unveiling of a plaque Friday morning at Vernon‘s Sutton Real Estate building. Very Rev. Roman Trynoha of Assumption St. Mary Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Vernon blesses the commemorative plaque.

Parents continue education rallies Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

Some Vernon parents are adding pressure to teachers and government to get kids back in school, on time. Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and anyone concerned about kids’ education are invited to join a neutral demonstration at Polson Park today (near the fountain) from 3 to 5 p.m. Those attending are asked to bring signs saying: “Our kids deserve an education.” This is the second local demonstration, after organizer Lovona Farnsworth shared the message in front of Ellison Elementary Wednesday. “We ended up in total with about 15 people,” said Farnsworth, a single mom who just wants to see her kids get the education they deserve. The Vernon School District has stated that school could start as planned Sept. 3, if both sides can come to an agreement by Friday. If the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association cannot reach

Celebrities from a popular Canadian TV show will be in Vernon cruising for a great cause Wednesday. A select group of celebrities from the show Heartland and motorcycle enthusiasts will embark Monday on a six-day motorcycle marathon from Surrey and make its way throughout southwestern B.C., including a stop in Vernon Wednesday at Bannister Honda at 2 p.m. Inspired by a love for people, motorcycles and a desire to Graham Wardle give back, Cruise with a Cause was co-founded in 2013 by Heartland star Graham Wardle and Vancouver actor and music producer Don McLeod. The organization was created to raise awareness and funding for important causes. This year’s charity of choice is Sophie’s Place, a unique and progressive child-advocacy centre in Surrey where children have a voice. It is named after their patron, Sophie Tweed-Simmons. Sophie’s Place provides specialized services to physically, mentally and sexually abused children in a child-friendly setting. Select Heartland stars will be available at Bannister Honda, signing photos for a $10 donation to Sophie’s Place. Heartland fans can mix and mingle with the celebs, take their own photos and enjoy non-stop musical entertainment by Vancouver band One Bullet Down.

Willing to work for food

t the height of its power, the photography company Kodak employed more than 140,000 people and was worth $28 billion dollars. They even invented the first digital camera. But today Kodak is bankrupt, and the new face of digital photography has become Instagram. When Instagram was sold to Facebook for a billion dollars in 2012, it employed only thirteen people. The above is from tech guru Jaron Lanier’s book, “Who Owns the Future?” Apple, one of the largest corporations in the world, is worth Jim Mullen about $500 billion but employs only 80,000 people. That’s around half the people working for Kodak at its peak, even though, financially, Apple is 18 times bigger. Ford and GM are each worth about onetenth what Apple is, but they each employ more than twice as many people. Yet those figures are misleading. They don’t include the people who work in the dealerships and sell the cars. They don’t include the people who make the tires and the hubcaps and the assembly line robots; the people who build the highways and make the stoplights, and on and on and on. There’s a difference between an auto company and an auto industry. The same is true of high-tech companies. Accidentally smash a brand-new $399 smartphone by, say, dropping it from the top of a concrete staircase at a minor league ballpark when I, uh, I mean when you pull it out of your pocket and it slips through your nacho-greased fingers, and you can’t help but wonder who made all those tiny pieces and if there’s some possible way to put them back together again.

unrest -- you’ll hear a newscaster report that “the stock market was down today because of jitters about unrest in the Middle East.” Or Ukraine. Or Ebola. Or floods or fires or drought. Really? When has there not been unrest in the Middle East? There was unrest when stocks went up, and there was unrest when stocks went down. How is bad news going to affect your stocks? Are people going to stop using Facebook and Twitter because there’s fighting in the Middle East? On the contrary: Their traffic goes up in times of great crisis. Are people going to stop using their cellphones? Same story. Are they going to cancel their Netflix subscriptions and stop going to Starbucks? Are you going to stop buying your kids new school clothes because of the fighting in Ukraine? Will you buy fewer groceries? Will the Ebola outbreak in West Africa be the reason you decide to go to McDonald’s or not? Are you going to stop reading the paper? Sure, the news is upsetting, but when isn’t it? You could make a case that fighting in the Middle East will affect the price of oil, but Apple and Facebook and Google and cable TV really don’t use much oil. Exxon, the first- or second-biggest company in the world depending on what day of the week it is, makes more money when the price of oil goes up. If you give it some thought, stocks should really only go down if love and peace and good health broke out all over the world. That would really cause a crash. All the defense contractors would go broke, their workers would be out on the streets, and the nightly news would be wall-to-wall cat videos. Wall Street goes up and down all the time, but if someone says they know why the market is up or down today, they are either a liar or a fool. Because if they really knew, they’d be rich beyond imagining. (Contact Jim Mullen at imMullenBooks.com).

Canadians are well-known for being apologetic. We bump into somebody by accident, we say ‘I’m sorry.” We interrupt somebody’s sentence: ‘Sorry.’ Most times, the apology comes immediately. But sometimes, our country takes awhile – quite awhile in some circumstances – before correcting a wrong. Friday, simultaneously across the country – including in Vernon, Enderby and Lake Country – 100 plaques were unveiled recalling Canada’s first national internment operations over a six-year period from 1914-1920. This, of course, occurred at the outbreak of the First World War, when the War Measures Act was enacted (its 100th anniversary was Friday). More than 8,700 landed Europeans, mainly Ukrainians, were shepherded off their lands and placed in internment camps, simply because of what their passports read, and even though there was no proof they posed a threat to Canada. There was an internment camp in Vernon, where Seaton Secondary School sits today. Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Friday that Canada acknowledges its mistakes of the past and learns from them. “As we remember the past, let us also remember to celebrate the achievements of the internees and their descendents, who overcame this hardship and contributed so much to the building of our country as loyal and dedicated citizens,” said the prime minister. Friday’s plaque ceremonies recall a dark moment in our country’s history, and, thanks to the 100 plaques, will never be forgotten. Nor should it be.

Who doesn't get it?

ell, it finally happened. Some events have occurred that prompted me to complain about “modern” technology and its effect on people. While watching a movie at a local theatre, a lady’s phone rang quite loudly for several seconds as she tried to locate it in her purse. I felt sorry for her, but then she proceeded to text someone after checking the caller. Unbelievable. The day before while at a store, my attention was drawn to a nice family (dad and two sons) who entered around the same time. I was impressed as the boys were so polite and well-behaved, listening to their father’s instructions about his expectations while shopping. About 10 minutes later, these same boys were throwing a loud fit and hitting their father because he wanted to leave while they were playing a video game on the store’s console. These last two incidents were just the “camel straw”

a response This letter is at least in part in response to Margaret E. Fraser’s letter. The gist of her letter indicates that she has it all figured out: she has many years of experience as a teacher, she knows what teachers should have, the work and stance of the BCTF should prevail and she puts her fate in its hands, knowing that the BCTF will always do right by her. She stresses many times that she does not need to be told anything by anybody else. On the contrary, I beg to differ. I believe she needs to be told quite a few things, if she will allow me to use such an assertive verb. First, there are about 41,000 public school teachers in B.C., or almost one per cent of the population. The government, which you evidently loathe so much, is also responsible for the other 99 per cent of the population, the vast majority of whom could never hope to get anywhere close to the wages, benefits, pension rights etc. that teachers take for granted. Would you agree that this 99 per cent which includes working people at all income levels, unemployed, sick, seniors, children, etc. also deserve consideration, time, money etc. from government? While you are at it, perhaps send a thought to the premier of this province. She is a youngish woman, single mother, trying her best to govern a divergent province. She knows, and

you know, that you can never please everybody all the time. Perhaps you can spare her, and her colleagues, a kinder thought. Next, bear in mind that teachers are paid by the taxpayers, that is by the government. Remember: governments have no money. Governments have to raise money in one of two ways: by demanding taxes from tax-weary individuals, companies or other taxpaying organizations, or by borrowing. If they borrow, it adds to our provincial debt, which must be serviced every year. When I was a young man in this province, we had a premier by the name of WAC Bennett. He was insistent on paying off our provincial debt, which he did. Today, our debt is huge, I believe in the vicinity of $65-70 billion, and growing. It makes sense to borrow, if you are building, say a highway, or some productive facility which will generate money, taxes etc. over many years. It does not make sense to borrow money to pay current expenses that re-occur all the time, such as wages and benefits. That way, you can never get out of debt. In your family setting, you would never borrow money to feed your current expenses. If you do, you are in serious financial trouble. Our government has said that meeting the demands of the teachers will eliminate the chance for a small budgetary surplus this year, and put

us back very close to, or into a deficit. I believe 99 per cent of the people in B.C. do not want to get into a deficit. Next, you lament the disrespect you imply teachers have experienced in the last 12 years. I am sure you will agree that respect must be earned through attitudes and actions. Teachers have ignored laws passed by the provincial government, and have engaged in a number of actions that have far from benefited those they claim to do it for, namely the children. I know many excellent teachers, and consider many of them friends, but would suggest that your organization has worked hard to earn the disrespect from the public, as you describe. You may claim all you like that you are doing this for the children, but the moment the union calls for action, you are a well indoctrinated force for whatever aims the BCTF dictates. Have you tried to see this from the vantage point of the young children, or their parents? I believe you are misusing the valuable relationships that most of you have spent years building up, with the children and the parents. Many parents dare not speak out against things they disagree with, for fear of any consequences to their children’s marks. This is what happens when one partner is deemed to use bully tactics. This brings me to your organization, the BCTF. I am hard pressed to think of even once that the BCTF has

or their friends will be upset with them, texting drivers, and many others too numerous to mention. A good friend of mine recently began texting all evening during a social visit. When I voiced my displeasure, I was told that I was “old and didn’t get it”. I should have said something to that rude woman in the theatre, but I thought that perhaps she was handicapped. Later observations led me to believe that was not the case. But then I realized that she, and thousands of others, really are handicapped. They have a compulsion they can’t control to answer and respond to texts no matter where or when. They must have constant visual stimulation to the point they can’t quit while engaged in games. I may be “old”, but I do get it. They are to be pitied. Jim Ferguson

got along with a provincial government in the almost six decades I have lived in B.C. I know what you will say: it is the government’s fault. I know you will say that, because Jim Iker says so every time he gets a chance. It is the fault of the people who try to represent the 99 per cent. Reminds me of the story of Johnny who is in basic military training, and writes home to mom that everything is going well, but when they are out marching all the other 39 fellows in his platoon are out of step with him. If the BCTF would show a little more maturity in its approach to negotiations with the government, decide to sit down and participate as a responsible partner in the important talks of how to distribute society’s gains in a manner that is fair, not only to teachers, but to everybody else too, instead of “stand and fight”, then perhaps you would also regain the respect and trust that you say are gone. You say you want a fair settlement. What seems fair to you, may seem extravagant to thousands of others who cannot hope to share in the same gains. Do not be surprised if many of those want the government to hold its line. Look around you. Look at your community, your friends. You may realize that you are very fortunate, with the wages, the benefits and the pensions that you get. Praise your lucky stars. Be happy. Bjorn W. Meyer

YOU AND THE LAW IS A BOOK OF BUSINESS FAMILY PROPERTY? By Janice Mucalov, LL.B.

When married couples split up, they have to deal with how to divide their property (like a house or RRSPs bought during the marriage) and debts. Often, one spouse stays home and raises the children while the other builds up a business. The new B.C. law that came into effect in March, 2013 (the Family Law Act) makes clear that a business or an interest in a business, owned by one spouse when the couple splits, is also family property – so it’s an asset that has to be divided up. But what exactly counts as property? Take a financial advisor who works at a brokerage firm. She looks after other people’s money and over the years builds relationships with her customers. If she decides to move to another firm, some of them (maybe most) will move their accounts and go with her. But of course they don’t have to, and the old firm may try to hang on to them. Good customer relationships are obviously valuable – but can personal Nick connections like that be called property?

book of business for $175,000. When he moved to his new firm in 2004, about 88% of his previous clients came along, though that wasn’t a condition of his move and there was no guarantee they would. He also faced a potential $400,000 legal liability related to his business in an unresolved customer law suit. Though Ralph earned about $200,000 (and Ann made over $40,000 in dividend income) a year, the couple had little house equity and few other assets. So a great deal turned on how a “book of business” (and the potential related debt) should be treated.

The appeal court pointed out that a book of business may represent the most significant asset when a marriage breaks up. If it isn’t treated as property and a family asset, the spouse who built it up could sell it shortly after the break-up and keep all the money. Investment firms put a value on a new Vlahos hire’s book of business (though the court wasn’t told here exactly how that’s A just-released decision by our B.C. calculated).

Brad Swanson, a teacher at the new Kala Star Academics and Outdoor School, displays some of the activities his class will be doing on a regular basis. classroom all day,” said Swanson. The school is set up for kids between grades 3-7. They have set a limit at 11 students so they can work with the kids a lot closer. “We wanted a smaller class size so we can engage with the kids better and so they can engage with each other better,” said Swanson. Brad will be teaming up with his wife Michelle, who previously worked for WestJet and plans on being a major helper during the school year. “I remember when I was a kid, whenever we did hands-on learning in class I was more involved and I retained the infor-

mation a lot better,” said Michelle. “Everything is a wow factor for kids. Everything is new to them – they are like sponges, and we want to take advantage of that outside the classroom.” The Swansons will also receive help from volunteer and retired teachers in the community. “The community has been great. Businesses are on board and have donated things to us and have invited our class to come check out their work environment so the kids can learn outside of the classroom,” said Michelle. The Swansons have bought a 15-passenger van to transport the kids

during field trips. “We have plenty of events planned. We are going to be taking the kids paddle boarding, we are going to go hiking and in the winter we will be heading up to Silver Star once a week. We have trips planned to the airport along with teaching the kids about environmental projects such as SPrKL,” said Brad. The Society for the Protection of Kalamalka Lake is one of the groups they will be working with. The Swansons see areas for potential expansion down the road. They are thinking about splitting the age groups into two, grades 1-3 and 4-7 next year.

The Kala Star Academics and Outdoor School is set to open the doors Sept. 2 for its inaugural school year. “The program is developed for the interests of each child,” said Kala Star Academics and Outdoor school teacher Brad Swanson. “We are going to work with the kids individually to accommodate for the kids’ needs.” Their students will be learning inside and outside of the classroom. “Once June ended, I was like, ‘great, when does September start?’ I was so excited to start up this program,” said Swanson. The private school is currently holding an open house from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. today and Monday, to help educate families about their program. The open house is located in their school, in the Argyll School of Performing Arts & Motion Building, in the Alpine Centre just off of Kalamalka Lake Road. Swanson is looking forward to meeting committed families at the open house. He wants to get an understanding of the kids and their parents before they join the school and go over the application process. The foundation behind the Academics and Outdoor school is providing the opportunity for students to learn outside the classroom just as much as they do inside. Swanson, a teacher for 10 years around Vernon, will accomplish this through a variety of field trips around the Vernon area. “We are still working with the ministry of education, but we are trying to develop creativity and innovation through more hands-on learning in the real world rather than sitting in a

Butler brings game to Windsor KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

Blessed with ultra speed, Danielle Butler is expected to make the University of Windsor Lancers a contender in CIS Ontario University Athletics (OUA) women’s hockey this season. Butler, a 5-foot-3 dynamo, rang up 14 gold and 25 points with the Thompson Okanagan Midget Rockets last season. The Kelowna-based team placed third in the B.C. Major Midget League, upset runner-up Prince George and then bowed to the Fraser Valley Phantom in the finals. “Danielle is simply a superb athlete who skates incredibly well,” said Windsor head coach Jim Hunter. “She is fast and has the ability to make an immediate impact in the OUA.” Butler, who turned 18 in May, has spent summer working out at Goodlife Fitness and making money at the Tolko mill. She is one of seven new recruits, including goalie Reggin Eraut, of Penticton’s Okanagan Danielle Butler Hockey Academy. Larrissa Borowiec, Rachel Chantler, Zoe Ellis, and Windsor products Shailyn Waites and Krystin Lawrence are the other freshman. “These athletes are going to make us more athletic moving forward,” said Hunter. “The depth and competitiveness of this team just went up.” Lawrence, who has a heavy shot, will also be pulling double-duty with the Lancer women’s soccer team as a goaltender. “The team is quite excited about these incoming athletes, and we believe they will keep this team moving in the right direction for 2014-15 and beyond,” added Hunter. Butler, whose mother, Susan, attended school in Sudbury, has relatives in Windsor.

Deford delivers new book

rank Deford is revered as one of the best sportswriters of our time. His profiles at Sports Illustrated were magic and he wrote thousands of beauties. I just finished reading his 18th book, entitled Over Time: My Life as a Sportswriter, and was awestruck by many of his insightful stories. I re-read many paragraphs just to make sure I had actually digested things properly. Now a senior contributing editor at SI and a regular correspondent on the HBO show Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel, Deford joined the magazine in 1962, fresh out of Princeton. Writes Tony Kornheiser of the popular Pardon The Interruption, on the front flap of the book: “I wanted to write like him, and the sad part for me was that I knew he was playing in a higher league. If there’s a Mount Rushmore of sportswriting, Deford is up there, purple ties and all.” Here are some of my favourite anecdotes from the book... n “Those of us in the grandstand seats want our athletes – the ones who are out age – to quit while they’re still on top. That way they won’t embarrass us. We then want our heroes to instantly disappear so that we can always remember them Kevin Mitchell (and ourselves) as magnificent and forever green. For it is when our athletes start to go downhill that we are first forced to come to grips with the possibility of our own mortality.” n “Never mind all the salacious sex stuff that came out — Tiger Woods always got mulligans for his surly behaviour on the links. My favourite euphemism in all of sports is that a drive finds a sand trap. Not that bum actually hit his Titleist there. But in all of baseball history, there’s never been a batter whose ball found the shorstop’s gloves with the bases loaded.” n “It has always been my impression that few top athletes are avid sports fans. These fellows succeed so easily at games – and from an early age – that they have no need to transfer any of their sporting interest to the performance of others. This is the reason, I think, why so few of them can comprehend the manic affection in which they are held.” n “Sportswriting legend Grantland Rice was, however, well compensated for his extraordinary labors. At the height of his powers, he was making something like $100,000 a year – at a time when a top all-star baseball player might be pulling down $20,000...” n “The fuss we make over high school sports is probably the

BETWEEN THE LINES

main reason so many men in the United States are forever adolescent. High school sports have replaced The Western as the male American lyric.” n “As a sportswriter, you get to like the old-timers even better than you like the coaches. Whatever else they’ve forgotten, they remember so much about their games of long ago, and they’re grateful for anybody younger who cares to ask about what it was like when the One Great Scorer was still paying attention to the, back when they were in their prime.” n “I’ll tell you, (Phillies’ broadcaster Richie) Ashburn said, “Pete Rose is the most obsessive person I’ve ever met in my life. It doesn’t matter – baseball, women, gambling – he’s obsessed with whatever he’s involved with. He doesn’t drink, you know. Let me tell you, Frank. If Pete had a drink at lunch, he’d be an alcoholic by the time he went to bed.” n “Unfortunately, I had a wonderfully happy childhood of little note. If you are to become a writer it helps immensely to have suffered a miserable upbringing, rife with trauma – ideally with a drunken father who beat you and a mother who was a prostitute, albeit a saint when not turning tricks. But, just my luck: nothing of the sort.” n “The last time I used a translator was to interview a hockey goalie for Real Sports on HBO. On the side, the goalie had robbed banks in Budapest, so we were in an Hungarian jail. I didn’t get much out of that either, but at least he wanted to talk. It kept him out of his cell for a while. I think he’s still in there in the pokey.”

Wednesday goodbye for Connie Kapak

Speed skating phenom Connie Kapak and her father, Pete, are moving to Calgary so Connie can train at the Olympic Oval as she strives to become an Olympian. Businessman Akbal Mund, a friend of the family, has organized a fundraiser at Monashees Bar & Grill for Wednesday, 11 a.m. to close. Kapak is a six-time B.C. champion in short track, was North Okanagan Athelete of the Year in 2012, and took the Western Canadian championship in short track in 2012, striking gold in all five events. “This is a way for all her friends to come say good luck by having lunch, $8.95 specials for lunch, or dinner, 25 cents Wing Night,” said Mund. “Ten per cent of all the gross sales will be donated to help Connie with her training, thanks to local sports supporter Steve Pauls from Monashees. Connie and myself will be there at lunch and dinner to say thanks and help out.”

Kreutz cruises to Spallumcheen junior Morning Star Staff

Matt Kreutz ran away with the Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club Junior Golf Championships with a surgical 68 on day one Wednesday. Kreutz powered through a few nasty holes on day two to capture the overall low gross title with 143. Matt McEachran-Law finished 11 shots behind Kreutz for second. Eight-year-old Ryan Vest carded a 69-65-134 to claim the overall low net title. Vest’s 83 on day two was a personal best at Spall. His 134 net total was eight shots better than runner-up Parker Wadsworth (142). Seth Blundell carded a 80 and 71 to finish second in the low gross and Jameson Crawford’s pair of 72s earned him second in the low net.

Michael Lenoury shot 75 and 78 took third in the low gross and Dexter Wieten captured the third low net with 76 and 74. Taylor Scott registered an 86-73 for the fourth low gross and Daniel Saunders’ 85-78 gave him the fourth low net. n A pair of improved second rounds by two Vernon Golf and Country Club members bumped them up the leader board at the B.C. Bantam Championship at the Meadowlands Golf and Country Club in Chilliwack. Braeden Cooper of Vernon carded 78-72, 150 for a final share of 17th place. Cooper placed eighth at the recent Maple Leaf Ford Junior Golf Tour stop at Predator Ridge with a 82 and 77. Brandon Chai of Vernon finished a shot behind Cooper, shooting 76-75, 151. Andrew Spalti of Vancouver’s Shaughnessy Golf Club took the Bantam title at 68-70-138, the only player to go under par.

Adanacs, Hawrys in must-win territory Morning Star Staff

The Six Nations Arrows have pushed back from being down 2-0 in the Minto Cup Junior A Lacrosse championship, and were one win away from lifting the holy grail. The Arrows shot down Brett Hawrys the and Coquitlam Adanacs 12-7 in Game 5 Thursday night at the Langley Events Centre. Game 6 went Saturday night at the LEC. Game 7, if necessary, goes tonight. Hawrys, a former Armstrong Shamrock, picked up an assist on Wesley Berg’s first period powerplay goal. Hawrys now owns three goals and seven points this series. The Ontario champion Arrows have outscored the Adanacs 43-19 since Game 3. Brendan Bomberry pulled a hat trick and finished with five points for the Arrows, while James Rahe recorded a pair of goals and assists for the Adanacs. The Arrows are vying for their third Minto Cup. The previously knocked off the Adanacs in seven games in the 1992 final. The Adanacs are trying to capture their second Minto Cup.

Have ball, will travel. And shoot until she drops. Jordyn Cullum’s intense three-and-a-half month basketball journey with Team B.C. Under 16 girls is over and it’s a trip she will cherish for some time. The VSS Panther forward made the provincial team in mid-April and then played in three Washington State tournaments, others in Portland and Las Vegas, and finally the Western Canadian championships in Edmonton, in late July. “It was amazing,” said Cullum, entering her Grade 11 year in the East Hill. “I had the most fun summer I’ver had. The coaches, Anthony Luyken, who coaches the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades, and assistant Alyssa Gaukel, who used to play for Anthony, were so awesome. I learned so much from them. They were demanding, but in a fun way. They wanted us to improve a lot.” Cullum, a starter who played for the U15 Reds and the U14 main team the past two summers, did not want the experience to end. “My teammates, I loved them so much. We had such a great bond; we were a very tight team. It was tough to say goodbye.” The U16s were competitive at all the American tournaments, winning at least two games in each event. They settled for a silver medal at the Western finals at the University of Alberta. “We beat every team there by a lot and then we played Alberta in the final and we lost by four or five,” said the 6-foot-1 Cullum. “We beat them by 34 and then we couldn’t put the ball in the hoop in the final. It was just one of those games.” Cullum has just been identified as one of 14 players to take part in elite pod training with the provincial basketball program. She will receive more hours of specific training which will allow her to grow as a player to play at her highest potential. “I definitely want to get a scholarship after high school,” said Cullum, who turns 17 in early February. Luyken has no doubt she will, and loved what she brought to his team this summer. “We didn’t determine our starters until we were in Vegas, but as

we moved forward, we had a good idea she would be starting,” he said. “The thing I like the most about her is she’s tough. She was very aggressive and now she has to learn when to use her physicality. “She’s a wonderful giver. She gets the ball and she wants to give it to somebody, wisely. I had her on my U14 team and she has improved immensely.” Some 50 players attended the selection camp, April 11-13, in Langley. They cut down to a dozen on the final day. Nicole Hart of Kelowna was the only other Okanagan girl named to the roster. Cullum was coached at VSS last season by Lonny Mazurak and John Keeley.

Stars brush back Penticton

The Vernon Silver Stars got goals from six different players in a 6-4 win over Penticton United in Okanagan Men’s 55+ Soccer League play Thursday night at MacDonald Park. Rob Ross hustled up front, scoring once, and took the Italian Kitchen Man of the Match for the league-leading Stars (16-2-2). Penticton dipped to 14-5-1. Nigel Clack (2), Keith Chancellor, Dick Markin and John Matjeika also tallied for the Stars. In other play, the Kelowna Kickers held off Vernon Kal Tire 3-2 at Mission Sports Fields. Andy Marshall, on a gorgeous header, after s Daryl Hazell corner, Hazel on a booming high shot, and Brad Hall handled the offence for Kelowna (10-6-3). The tiremen came out flying in the second half with Dennis Chabot stoned by keeper Andy Miller on a breakaway in the 49th minute. Rob Parkin moved past a defender and neatly side footed in a Chabot cross for Vernon’s opening goal near the 72nd minute. Ken Rath took a feed from Jim Sparrow and pulled the tiremen (8-8-2) within one at 80 minutes. Vernon pressed hard for the equalizer, but the Kelowna back four, led by Orchard Park Mall Man of the Match Hazell, held strong.

Summit celebrates two decades of success Morning Star Staff

Su m m it E nv i ron m e nt a l Consultants, the environmental science division of Associated Engineering, celebrates its 20th anniversary this week. Over two decades ago, senior geoscientist, Brian Guy founded the company in Vernon, with the vision of bringing physical and biological scientists together under one roof to provide quality consulting services. At the time, no other company provided these complementary service offerings. Amid the changing regulatory environment in B.C. during the mid-1990’s, Summit’s professional hydrologists, fisheries biologists, and wildlife biologists assisted clients in the forest industry, electrical utilities, and First Nations communities to better understand and comply with evolving environmental legislation, guidelines, and regulations. Today, Summit’s client base has expanded to include all levels of government, industries, and other private companies. Since joining Associated Engineering in 2010, Summit has

expanded from two to eight offices across Western and Northern Canada and broadened its services to include information management systems; facilitation, mediation, and decision support; and environmental management and business sustainability systems. “We would like to express our sincerest gratitude and best wishes to our staff, families, communities, and our valued clients, for their longstanding support in helping us achieve our goals as we continue to aim higher,” said Guy, vice president and general manager of Summit. “We remain committed to building a respected and successful organization and contributing both as individuals and as an organization to initiatives that are important to us locally, such as the Okanagan Science Centre, Greater Vernon Adopta-Stream Program, and the North Okanagan Child Care Society.” Summit takes pride in its role improving our environment and our communities through its projects and the active contributions of its staff in Photo submitted the communities where they work vice president and general manager Brian Guy (left) and president of associated engineering kerry rudd get across Canada. ready to celebrate Summit environmental Consultants’ 20th anniversary.

Market samples new B.C. liquor laws kevin parnell Black Press

Photo submitted

The lake Country Farmers and Crafters Market is now offering wine tasting at its weekly Friday market, thanks to new B.C. liquor laws.

Lake Country’s farmers market has jumped at the chance to provide wine tasting at its weekly market after new B.C. legislation opened the door to the possibility earlier this year. New B.C. liquor laws are allowing wine tasting and sales at B.C. farmers markets and Lake Country market manager Janeen Olson says it’s a great fit at the Lake Country Farmers and Crafters Market, which takes place every Friday in Swalwell Park in Lake Country. “The new laws allow wineries to have a satellite tasting room so we don’t have to get additional licensing,’ said Olson. “You can do a small tasting or buy a bottle of wine, but you can’t drink the wine in the park. I think it adds a tremendous amount to the market. It finally completes it. We are wine country and this makes it more of a complete experience for tourists and

locals. People can get their vegetables and fruit and now their wine.” The first month of wine tasting featured Lake Country’s Living Waters Organic Winery and Olson says she has had interest from several other wineries as well as craft beer brewers. She says she would like to have a well-rounded representation from Lake Country’s wine industry at the market as the wine tasting component grows. “I’ve had more interest from wineries and we’ve just gotten the ball rolling with this,” said Olson. “My thought eventually is I’d like to rotate some wineries. That way we would have good representation. We’re very pleased so far and I knew more wineries will jump into the mix soon.” Providing liquor at a family friendly event could be seen as walking a fine line. But Olson says she hasn’t heard any negative comments about the new addition to the Lake Country market. “I haven’t had any kind of negative

feedback,” she said. “Not one person has said one negative thing. Everyone is very supportive. We are not encouraging drinking in the park. It’s just a taste testing. It’s bringing positive attention to the community.” According to Olson, this year has been a good year so far at the Lake Country Farmers and Crafters Market. Over 30 vendors have regularly been showing up and Olson said there is a positive vibe amongst the vendors and the public. “They really like the atmosphere at the market,” she said. “We’re pretty easy going, there’s not a lot of conflict out here. We’ve had lots of new vendors and really great stuff this year. We’re getting amazing support from the vendors, the artisans and the public.” The Lake Country Farmers and Crafters Market runs Fridays from 3 until 7 at Swalwell Park in Lake country.

Special To The Morning Star

HAWAII - For many visitors, Hawaii’s balmy sunshine, rolling surf and soft sand is the total story but for the curious of heart, the islands’ unique and isolated position offers the inquisitive traveler much more. New Earth: Nowhere is this better experienced than on Hawaii, the Big Island. Here, tropical jungles edge up to vast volcanic landscapes like hardened molasses that breaks dramatically into the sea. Today, lava flows are still reshaping the coastline creating some of the earth’s oldest – and certainly its youngest – landmass. You only have to come across a section of asphalt highway, half swallowed up beneath the once-scorching lava, to realize this land is still cooking beneath your feet. Turning Surf into Land Science: Turning the lava bedrock into a ginormous ocean science and technology park, the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority (NELHA) is at the forefront of renewable energy production, marine biotechnology, and aquaculture. Occupying 870 acres at Keahole Point, six pipeline systems draw surface and deep seawater from various depths for use by park occupants. With an intake 4,500 feet deep, one pipe is the deepest in the world and so offers extraordinary research and commercial opportunities. Public tours are available for the curious. Some of the more intriguing tenants include: A seahorse farm. In the face of near extinction, this is the world’s only living and breeding gene bank of seahorses and sea-dragons – the primary source for aquariums and the commercial marine industry. Farms producing ogo, edible sea vegetables as well as cosmeceutical and nutritional supplements. Several sustainable aquaculture enterprises involving clams, lobsters, shrimp, reef building corals, abalone, and new strains of fish such as fastgrowth and hardy kampachi, a hoped-for substitute for the ever-diminishing ocean stocks of large-fish such as salmon and tuna. Without this kind of replacement intervention, it is anticipated that current big fish stocks will collapse within 30 years. This park is a lab of discovery. Living Mythology: Hawaii’s topography is very much a part of Hawaiin mythology. Hiking over and through the lava fields blends mythology with geology. This is the domain of Pele, the powerful goddess of fire, lightening, wind, and volcanoes. It is wise to offer her a tipple of gin or her favourite food, the O’Helo berry, before crossing her land lest you offend her intemperate nature. After all, this is the tempestuous Goddess who turned her lover, Kamapua’a, the ruler of forests, into a pig.

Family caregivers in Vernon need help, and the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. is showing them where to find it. “Caregiving can be extremely challenging, both physically and emotionally,” said Carly Gronlund, the society’s support and education coordinator for Vernon and the North and Central Okanagan. As the disease progresses, caregivers may be required to provide different types of support, from assisting with financial decisions to helping the person complete everyday tasks. It can often become a 24-hour-a-day job. “The society helps caregivers recognize that one cannot travel alone on the dementia journey. You and your family member will benefit greatly from the help of those around you who care, including friends and family members,” said Gronlund. That circle of support includes the society, which offers two free education programs in September for Vernon families. The first, Getting to Know Dementia,

is an introductory session that provides basic information on dementia and the impact it has on the individual, caregivers, and support networks. “Participants will learn about the different types of support available throughout the dementia journey, how to begin planning for the future and strategies for living well,” said Gronlund. It runs from 1 to 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 3. The session is intended for people experiencing early symptoms of dementia, as well as family members or friends who are currently supporting a person with a recent dementia diagnosis. The workshop is not intended for the general public or health-care providers. The second workshop, Grief and Loss, explains how emotions can affect caregivers as well as the person with dementia. “Families and caregivers of people with dementia experience grief and loss at many different points during the progression of the disease,” said Gronlund. “Helping them cope with that journey

is the purpose of the workshop, which explores strategies for adjusting to changes brought on by the disease.” The workshop runs on Wednesday, Sept. 17 from 1 to 3 p.m. Pre-registration is required for both sessions, which take place at The People Place, 3402 27th Ave. To register call Carly Gronlund at 1-800-634-3399 or email cgronlund@ alzheimerbc.org. The workshops are free thanks to partial funding by the Province of B.C., Provincial Employees Community Services Fund, RBC Foundation, Seacliff Foundation, Pfizer Canada Inc., Merck Canada Inc., Mott Electric GP, Lohn Foundation, Al Roadburg Foundation, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc., Frank and Yvonne McCracken Foundation, The Colin and Lois Pritchard Foundation and through the generous contributions of individual donors. For more information on Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias visit www. alzheimerbc.org.

Webinars give information on diabetes and kidney health The Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA) is offering a webinar on diabetes and kidney health Monday and a webinar on diabetes support 202 Wednesday. The CDA’s webinar series provide relevant and up-to-date information for people living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes in Canada. Individuals can sign up at no cost to attend. Thus far, participants from more than 220 communities have joined the sessions and the CDA hopes that more people will participate

and take advantage of these sessions. “The Canadian Diabetes Association is thrilled to have participants joining from across the country to learn from the comfort of their own homes,” said Sharon Hon, coordinator, programs, services, and partnerships (B.C. and Yukon) at the CDA. “We have many new and returning participants and it’s exciting to build supportive environments where participants are empowered and encourage each other.”

Nephrologist Dr. Tony Booth will take part in Monday’s webinar on diabetes and kidney health from 6 to 8 p.m. “We hope that individuals will be more aware of the risk factors for kidney disease and how best to stay healthy while dealing with diabetes and kidney issues,” said Heather Johnson, director of programs at the Kidney Foundation. Wednesday’s webinar on diabetes support 202, takes place from 7 to 9 p.m. and will feature registered nurse and certified

diabetes educator Teri Currie, who will share tips on better understanding the resources and options of tax credits available for people with diabetes, updates on school supports for children with type 1 diabetes, and resources available when traveling. To register for the webinars and for further information, visit diabetes.ca/webinar. No special software is needed and participants can choose to listen via telephone or through their computer speakers.

Fibre Daily intake of 50% soluble and 50% insoluble fibre is essential for the removal of toxins. Soluble fibre absorbs the toxins that have been eliminated by the liver, without dehydrating the colon. Insoluble fibre works to sweep the toxins off of the intestinal walls to allow for removal.

Each one of these herbs aids in the detoxification process by either stimulating the start of detoxification, expediting the removal of toxins, or aiding in healing essential organs.

Learn how you can become a volunteer with the Canadian Ski Patrol on Thursday at 6:30 p.m., at the People Place in Vernon. “We are strictly a volunteer organization,” said Brent Kisilevich, Canadian Ski Patrol Leader at Silver Star. “All of our first aid and on-mountain training is provided by a dedicated group of skilled people living here in our community. “Our patrollers come from all walks of life: professionals, tradespersons, business owners, students and even some retirees. They all share a passion for snowsports and helping others.” The Canadian Ski Patrol has provided first aid services to the skiing public for almost 75 years. A longstanding member of the Canadian snow sports industry, the ski patrol is made up of dedicated volunteers, committed to providing excellent first aid to winter sport participants.

Sailing picks up popularity Morning Star Staff

“The wind is up! Let’s go sailing,” is the call often heard from young sailors at the North Okanagan Sailing Association (NOSA) in the summer months. NOSA is located next to Paddlewheel Park Hall at the Okanagan Landing. “NOSA is having a great summer for sailing lessons on Lake Okanagan,” said sailing director Glen Dick. “Participation is up with youth sailing and adult sailing, not to mention cadets, scouts and the summer GVPRD recreation camps.” NOSA is a volunteer association that focuses on teaching safety around the water at the lake, on sailboats or sail boards. NOSA is a nationally recognized sailing school offering Learn to Sail (LTS) lessons weekly, June through to September, for ages eight and older and instructed by certified CANsail instructors to progressive National Sail Canada Standards. “This year we are pleased to see more sailing

wannabees becoming I CAN SAIL students,” said Dick. “We have to say thanks to an awesome threesome of nationally certified local instructors including Spencer Freeman-Marsh, Riley Braidwood and Ashley Poulin.” Said head sailing instructor Freeman-Marsh: “We’ve been able to extend sailing experiences to over 250 new sailors this year, and we focus on learning in a safe and fun environment.” NOSA’s LTS school also delivers CANsail training to the navy cadets and highs school classes at Okanagan Lake in the spring and fall. NOSA instructors have also had success speaking to the elementary and middle school classes about water safety at the lake. For more information about NOSA Learn To Sail, phone 250-260-7234 or e-mail info@nosa. bc.ca.

Blue is one tasty and healthy berry

Cathi Litzenberger

T

Special to The Morning Star

here are so many delicious fresh berries available right now, and today we’re featuring the blueberry because it’s second only to strawberries in popularity and consumption in Canada. Blueberries are not only popular, but also have the highest antioxidant capacities among all fruits, vegetables, spices, and seasonings. Antioxidants are essential to optimizing health by helping to combat the free radicals that can damage cellular structures as well as DNA. Antioxidants also have benefits to the nervous system, brain health, and can improve memory. The only thing I’ve ever disliked about this berry is its staining power on kids and clothes. Today I have a dessert recipe that freezes well. (Don’t add the whipped cream before freezing. Wait until after it has partially thawed before serving.) I also have a pancake recipe and blueberry muffins that are perfect for an afternoon tea or brunch. The secret in these is the sour cream. We also have a creamy slush drink that everyone will enjoy. Blueberry Cheesecake Squares For the crust: 2 cups graham crumbs ¾ cup butter, melted 1 cup icing sugar For the cheesecake layer: 1 package of cream cheese (250 grams), softened 2 eggs 1 cup sugar For the berry layer: 3 tablespoons cornstarch

Cathi Litzenberger

This easy-to-make cheesecake square is the perfect dessert to use for all those plump and juicy B.C. grown blueberries that are available now. 1 cup sugar 2 cups blueberries 2 tablespoons water 1 tbsp. or squeeze of lemon juice For the top: 1 cup heavy cream Mix graham crumbs with the butter then mix in icing sugar. Press into a 9-by-13-inch pan. Beat cream cheese with the eggs then add the cup of sugar and beat until smooth. Pour over crust and bake at 350 F for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, combine 1 cup of sugar and the cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Add blueberries,

2 tbsp. of water and a good squeeze of lemon juice. Mix well. Heat, stirring until the mixture is clear and thickened. Cool then spread on the cooled baked cake. Whip the cream and sweeten to taste. Chill then spread on top of the berries. Chill until ready to serve. Delicious! Todd’s Famous Blueberry Pancakes 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon baking powder 1-1/4 teaspoons white sugar 1 egg

1 cup milk 1/2 tablespoon butter, melted 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed) In a large bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking powder and sugar. In a small bowl, beat together egg and milk. Stir milk and egg into flour mixture. Mix in the butter and fold in the blueberries. Set aside for one hour. (Will work fine even without the wait.) Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4

cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot, with a few fresh berries and syrup. Blueberry Cream Muffins 4 eggs 2 cups white sugar 1 cup vegetable oil 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 4 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 2 cups sour cream 2 cups blueberries Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 24 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners. In large bowl beat eggs, gradually add sugar while beating. Continue beating while slowly pouring in oil. Stir in vanilla. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, salt and baking soda. Stir dry ingredients into egg mixture alternately with sour cream. Gently fold in blueberries. Scoop batter into prepared muffin cups. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Blueberry Cream Slush 1 cup frozen blueberries 1 cup frozen strawberries 1 cup pineapple and orange juice blend 1 cup vanilla yogurt 2 teaspoons sugar 6 ice cubes Place the blueberries, strawberries, juice, yogurt and sugar into the container of a blender. Process until smooth. Add the ice cubes, and process until small enough to fit through a straw, but large enough to crunch on. Pour into glasses, and drink through straws. Delicious!

Chef shows off his grilling skills at Gatzke Orchard Morning Star Staff

The Gatzke Orchard dinner series has been enjoying a successful sold-out run with the first three of its GO FOODISM nights. On Sunday, Aug. 31, chef Travis Hackl presents Grill to Gourmet, the fourth in the series of six outdoor roaming four-course meals on the orchard overlooking Kalamalka and Wood Lakes. “We’re ecstatic with the popularity of our orchard dinners,” said Gatzke Orchard event

manager Joseph Pinheiro. “The first three were a phenomenal success and as the next three dinners are already 50 per cent sold out, we are feeling really good about GO FOODISM! The combination of these culinary talents, our picturesque venue and the outstanding food is what is attracting people to buy tickets to more than one dinner.” The owner of Okanagan’s Finest Foods catering and the OKF Grill in Lake Country, Hackl will show his grilling skills using abun-

dant fresh, natural Okanagan ingredients, many grown on the orchard, with wine tastings by 50th Parallel Estate Winery. “After years of downright serious menu creation, I have found a more relaxed, easy-going approach to food combinations and preparation,” said Hackl. “This approach, combined with the abundant fresh, natural ingredients produced in the Okanagan Valley, has led to the inspired catering menus of Okanagan’s Finest Foods.”

Hackl is working on the final touches to his Grill to Gourmet menu and says the flavours are simply going to make guests’ mouths water. “I love what Gatzke Orchard does for our people and our community and we proudly support Gatzke’s. I’m really looking forward to my GO FOODISM night to entertain, feed you and to show off my amazing team. It’s going to be a great night.” Tickets for the GO FOODISM series are available at gatzkeorchard.com.

Be a champion in a child’s life

T

here are many roles we can play in a child or young person’s life and being a champion is a very important one that anyone can be. To be a champion you need to really care. In my sons’ development I saw first hand the importance of the many champions who were in their lives. Relationships were really important to them and when they had that connection with their coaches, family friends and teachers. The difference was significant. There is such power in the human connection and to a child or a youth it can be life changing. Lynn Reside, a great champion for children, shared on her Facebook page two stories that stood out for me. One is a TED talk from an educator named Mrs. Pearson who says, “there is no significant learning without a significant relationship. Kids don’t learn from people they don’t like.” I know there are going to be kids who will challenge teachers, who they will not like. And I know there are kids who will never know that their teacher works to make the relationship and that connection with a child important. The tough ones show up for a reason. The other story that resonated was from a pediatrician who had written an article for The Washington Post, expressing concern over the amount of screen time children had and parents’ distraction when they are on their own screens. Being in the same room doesn’t mean we are present. “Social media has

a place and a purpose, but too many parents are creating unnecessary stress by trying to be in two places at once, while modeling to their children that online relationships take precedence over real ones,” said the pediatrician. “In an era of constant distraction, we must decide what’s more important: heeding the constant ping of our devices or telling our children, in word and deed, ‘I am listening. I am here. And there’s nowhere else I’d rather be.’” There were times when my kids would say to me, “Mom, Mom, are you listening?” I was tuned out and on my computer or on the phone instead of being present to my kids. I am glad I never learned to text until they were older, and now with them living away from home, texting is a great way for us to connect. What I know is that it is precious face-toface time that is most important. It’s possible those parents on their computers are following an urgent work email thread, or they may be on Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest. A 2011 Nielsen poll found that people with children use social media more than those without. Maybe these adults are reading an article shared by another parent. Maybe they are making plans with

providers, counsellors, aides, parents, any of the roles where children can interact with adults, there is an opportunity to be a caring adult: to show interest, be dependable, inspire, be kind, model, encourage, guide, respect, give voice, collaborate, connect and navigate. “Every child needs a champion who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists they become the best they can be,” says Mrs. Pearson. I have spoken before about adults in my young life who left positive imprints: the school janitor, the neighbourhood cookie lady who knew all of our names and gave each of us who knocked on her door a cookie and conversation. Their role wasn’t as direct as my teachers and yet left such good memories for me. I knew they cared, provided support and believed in me. The Search Institute has been researching for many years how children can become healthy adults. They have a new study coming out on the importance of developmental relationships this fall. (See www.searchinstitute.org.) Here are some key points from that framework: Express care – show that you like me and want the best for me. Challenge growth - insist that I try to continuously improve. Provide support help me complete tasks and complete goals. Share power - hear my voice and let me share in decision making. Expand possibilities - expand horizons and

connect me to opportunities, including connect me to people who will help me grow. This is a wonderful community to raise children in and I hope it can become even better as we all work to be caring adults and take the time to invest in our children with our time, being present, looking them in the eye, listening to their stories and letting our actions show that we believe in them.

friends and family. But they are definitely communicating to their children that they are less important than whatever is on those devices. This might seem absurd to today’s parents, who feel like they give themselves to their children in ways previous generations never imagined. But the undivided attention that children need from us is in jeopardy. Most people just don’t realize how much time they’re spending online; what feels like a few minutes is often a half hour or more. When we are with our children, we need to be with our children — not with them except for the part of us that’s reading emails, tweeting and checking Facebook. Another reason for parents to put down their phones: Though Facebook may provide community, it can also promote competition and unreachable standards of perfection. The way I see it, we will not put on our tombstones, “I wish I had spent more time on my iPhone.” Mrs. Pearson in her TED talk spoke of her mom, another educator who had left a legacy of relationships. That is impressive, a legacy of relationships with children and youth that made a difference in their young lives by someone believing in them, really investing in them, making them believe they were somebody. Teachers are so significant to a young person and so can others be. In our roles as neighbours, employers, family, friends, shop keepers, secretaries, volunteers, coaches, health care

Guests are treated to a performance of Funiculi Funicula by Vernon’s star soprano Melina Moore and Welsh tenor and Phantom of the Opera star Peter Karrie. For more photos on the event, visit The Morning Star’s Facebook page.

hursday’s third A Splash of Red fundraiser at the Caetani Cultural Centre lived up to the late Sveva Caetani’s expectations. Taking place at Caetani’s former estate on Pleasant Valley Road, left to the community for the purpose of engaging those in the arts, and as a hub of culture and creativity, a splash of rain did not dampen the spirits of tireless volunteers and art patrons for the al fresco dinner and art auction. “The event raised more than $10,000 to the Caetani Cultural Centre for its indoor sprinkler system needed to open up the house to the public,” said local chanteuse Judy Rose, one of the event founders, along with Angelika Jaeger. “All in all, it was a grand evening,” added Rose, who not only could be seen running around making sure all the seats were dry and tables were ready for dinner after the downpour, but even belted out the classic That’s Amore to the crowd’s delight.

Joining her as dinner time entertainment was a special performance of Funiculi Funicula by Welsh tenor Peter Karrie, of Phantom of the Opera fame, with Vernon’s very own soprano Melina Moore. The two took time to partake in the event from their current tour of their popular The Phantom Returns concert, which has them performing around the B.C. Interior. Then there was the food. A delectable salad starter and main course of lemon and herb roast chicken with all the trimmings, prepared by Basket Case Picnics, was topped by an even more decadent chocolate dessert topped with berries and whipped cream. Prosecco, wine and grappa also flowed freely. Presiding over the live art auction, featuring 20 paintings and sculptures by some of the Okanagan’s most respected talents, was Victor Noakes of Vernon’s Antique Imports, whose patient urging and upping of bids contributed to the event’s success. Bellissimo!

accordionist rod Miller performs a medley of oktoberfest and Parisien café tunes for the slightly soaked but very appreciative Lynne Gayan and Gale Woodhouse.

Volunteers Gerritt Shumyk and Bronwyn evans hold a quadtych piece, Blue Wood I, II, III, IV, by Vernon artist Christine Kashuba, during the live auction. Volunteer Kevin Spetifore braves the downpour so that guests can get their auction paddles.

Visitors start soundscaping Morning Star Staff

The Caetani Cultural Centre, in conjunction with the Allan Brooks Nature Centre, is presenting the current Fresh AiR artist-inresidence Anna Glynn with biologist Peter Dalmazzo, Thursday at a public presentation. The couple, who are from New South Wales, Australia, are the current artists in residence at the Caetani Cultural Centre and will give the presentation on both past and present work, including their newest project, entitled Okanagan Valley Soundscape. The two have teamed up for this interdisciplinary collaboration, working on a project based around the sounds of the Okanagan landscape both from nature and human environments.

Australian artist Anna Glynn (left) and biologist Peter Dalmazzo with Janice Buick, events coordinator at the Allan Brooks Nature Centre, give a presentation on their project, The Okanagan Valley Soundscape, Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Allan Brooks Nature Centre. During their time here, Glynn and Dalmazzo are undertaking an acoustic survey of the Okanagan landscape, collecting sounds throughout the environment, above and below water, terrestrial and aquatic, in a variety of ecotypes, forests and grasslands, urban and

rural areas. Dalmazzo will be creating a catalogue of sounds (the science) and Glynn will create a soundscape (the art). The public is welcome to meet them both and hear their presentation at the Allan Brooks Nature Centre Thursday at 7 p.m.

The Kalamalka Highlanders Pipe Band, in its 30th year as one of Vernon and district’s pipe bands, is just finishing a very busy summer. At a time when most pipe bands take the summer off, the KHPB and its youth band, the Arran Campbell Memorial Pipe Band, have been very busy, said Norm Crerar, with the Highlanders. “Parades in Lumby, Penticton and Falkland, community fund raising events such as Do It For Dad and the big one, the Okanagan Military Tattoo 2014, kept everyone on the move,” he said. The new piping season is about to begin with the official start at Polson Park Thursday from 7 to 8 p.m. Both bands will be in attendance and some of their dancing and singing friends will also be joining them. Folks should bring a lawn chair and sit and listen or join in the singing. “We have had a great summer and we are looking forward to the new season,” said pipe major Gord Mathers. “Since our appearances this summer and especially at the Tattoo, we have had a lot of interest in folks joining our bands.” Band members will be on hand to explain the learning opportunities the bands provide at Thursday’s event. Registration for both the adult and youth bands will take place at the House of Dwarfs daycare, #108-5145 26th St. Sept. 3 at 6 p.m. for the youth band and Sept. 4 at 6 p.m. for the adult band. Call 250-542-2936 for more information.

HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist

SUSAN CARRIE

The banning of smoking in public places is starting to see positive changes in many areas of healthcare. One benefit is a 10% drop in the rates of pre-term births and childhood asthma where smoking bans have been initiated. Unfortunately, only 16% of the people of the world are covered by these non-smoking laws and 40% of the world’s children are still exposed to second-hand smoke. A peptic ulcer is a breakdown in the protective lining of the stomach or part of the small intestine, In the “old days” prior to the 1970s, treatment consisted of dietary changes, lots of antacids and possibly even an operation. Today we know that most peptic ulcers are caused by the bacterium, H. Pylori. It infects 1 in 4 people but most don’t get an ulcer. Those that do can be treated with antibiotics and a powerful acid-reducer. No more bland diets or surgery today! Pharmacists are asked about the benefits of eating garlic or supplements to help certain ailments. It has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years in India, China and Egypt. The current scientific evidence says it may possibly be effective for reducing high blood pressure, keeping arteries healthy, reducing the risk of colon rectal and stomach cancer (if eaten raw). It is unlikely to help those with diabetes, peptic ulcers, high cholesterol or preventing breast cancer. Some people say that garlic helps prevent the common cold. If it works for you that’s great. There is not a lot of high quality evidence that this is so but the side effects are minimal if you take it. Our pharmacists can add a balanced perspective to many of the popular herbal treatments. There’s a lot of hype out there. We can add some common sense to it all. Consult your doctor, too.

he Giver, (Jeff Bridges) has the responsibility of passing the secret history of the world to the Receiver (Brenton Thwaites). If the Receiver can handle the truth he will go on to become The Giver and use his wisdom to Taylor and Howe advise the Elders of the Community. The Community is closed off and no one may travel outside the boundary. When the Receiver learns of what was sacrificed to achieve the apparent utopia he’s to help govern, he decides to reveal his knowledge to everyone: While it may be true that a less emotional society has fewer problems with pain and suffering, it also loses some joy, love and understanding. The Chief Elder (Meryl Streep) is against the revealing of past memories and will stop the Receiver at all cost. I’m just glad there wasn’t a sporting event attached to The Giver. This is the third of four films this year featuring teens living in societies that

Jeff Bridges and Brenton Thwaites share forbidden knowledge in The Giver. Damon Wayans Jr. and Jake Johnson don’t want to grow up in Let’s be Cops. are a bummer. The Giver, like the other dystopic movies, has an individual flexing his or her individuality to facilitate change. Unlike the other movies, our hero Jonas, the Receiver, is tested philosophically, rather than physically. The Giver is more about ideas than action, as such it might have remained a better book. However, it is an interesting, artistic movie and much more entertaining than our next film, Let’s Be Cops. Ryan (Jake Johnson) and Justin (Damon Wayans Jr.) are 30-year-old best friends, living in Los Angeles, going nowhere fast. Ryan is living off residuals from a herpes commercial and milking a “college football injury.” Justin is a soft-spoken video game programmer that can’t

get his own product released because his bosses ignore him. Embarrassed when they show up to a masquerade party dressed in convincing cop costumes, the pair discover that everyone believes they are actual officers. Quickly acquiring a taste for the power of the uniform, Ryan and Justin decide to be cops and take it to ridiculous extremes. They purchase a car and trick it out, LAPD style. They start responding to calls and eventually become central to solving a neighbourhood case involving gangster heavies. Somehow they manage to do all this without making me laugh. I smiled a couple times. There was a levity to the relationship of Ryan and Justin that I enjoyed. But Let’s Be Cops is just a silly movie, glamouriz-

ing the police in unhealthy ways: the boys go where they please, get into the VIP room, do drugs, gamble, pick up girls, etc. Ryan is especially juvenile in his behaviour with reluctant Justin unable to resist. Despite having Andy Garcia in a small role and a very likeable performance by Rob Riggle (as a real cop), Let’s Be Cops is a disposable buddy comedy, heavy on the buddy. The comedy is sparse and pubescent. There’s swearing, sexism and homophobia, but no nudity. The film didn’t offend me, but then again I’m not an impressionable 14-yearold boy. I give The Giver 3 missed doses out of 5. I give Let’s Be Cops 1 pair of mirrored shades out of 5.

Edmonton transplant is making his mark Morning Star Staff

Since arriving from Edmonton to Vernon last fall, Marv Machura has been integrating into the Okanagan music scene – a scene, he says is “active, friendly, and of a very high calibre.” In addition to performing at various clubs, events, and festivals including the Roots and Blooms, Curbside Live, Creative Chaos, and others, Machura has found time to work with several Vernon groups including the Big Art Committee, the Chamber of

Commerce, the Allan Brooks Nature Centre, the Society for the Protection of Kalamalka Lake (SPrKl), and others. In addition, he recently was appointed as the executive director of the Kiwanis Music Festival of Kelowna. This past year, Machura also helped found the Vernon FolkRoots Music Society, which so far has held three concerts in what will be an ongoing series, and successfully ran Vernon’s first Story Slam.

Arts Young Victoria talent casts a long shadow Morning Star Staff

Victoria singer-songwriter Sam Weber will soon cast a shadow on the road with the announcement of his debut LP, set for release Sept. 2. Weber is actually hitting the road now, taking him across Western Canada on the release of his new compilation of songs, entitled Shadows in the Road, which were written over the past six years of touring and recording. He stops to perform at Lorenzo’s Café in Sam Weber Ashton Creek tonight. The 21 year old has created a collection of 13 original tracks said to convey a powerful entanglement of emotion that encompasses the setbacks and uncertainties of life’s journey. Already an acclaimed guitarist and producer in Western Canada, Weber is no stranger to the Canadian music scene, sharing the stage with the likes of The Tragically Hip, Current Swell, Stars, and Sam Roberts. In 2010, Weber was awarded a summer schol-

arship to the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, where many Shadows in the Road tracks were inspired. After being offered a full-time scholarship, he decided to stay true to his craft and return home to Canada to pursue music on his own terms. Weber’s instinctive move led him to be featured in Guitar Player Magazine, becoming one of the youngest people to ever be covered in the esteemed magazine, at just 19 years old. “Infused with deep wit and wisdom, Weber’s output is truly impressive. His guitar work is also killer, full of nuance, soul and a truly unique voice. This is an artist built for the long term,” said Guitar Player editor Anil Prasad. Weber’s soulful and impassioned songwriting takes life throughout the album with songs such as Don’t Hurt and the opening title track. The record’s feature track August lures fans in with an enduring love story paired with powerful drumbeats and Weber’s effortless vocals. Directed by Vancouver’s Lau Tin Pak and shot in a beautiful rustic black and white setting, the heart capturing video for August premiered this week on Daily Motion. Weber’s performance at Lorenzo’s Café, 901 Mabel Lake Rd., east of Enderby, starts tonight at 8 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. Cover is $10. Call 350-838-6700 for reservations.

Bridge by Phillip Alder TRY TO DISTRACT YOUR OPPONENT Claude Chabrol, a French film director perhaps best known for “Le Boucher” (the butcher), said, “You make a film to distract people, to interest them, perhaps to make them think, perhaps to help them be a little less naive, a little better than they were.” At the bridge table, if you can legally distract your opponents, it will probably be to your advantage. How do you do that? By producing unexpected bids or, especially, plays. Do you see something distracting in this deal? South is in three no-trump. West leads his fourthhighest heart. East wins with his ace and returns the heart six. What happens after that? Note that despite holding

30 combined high-card points, three no-trump seems destined to fail. Let’s assume South takes the second trick with his heart king and West plays the two to indicate that he started with a five-card suit. Declarer should cross to the dummy with a club and call for the diamond jack, trying to look like someone about to take a finesse for the queen. But East should not be distracted. He should realize that his partner has three heart winners, grab the trick with his ace, and lead his last heart, which results in down one. At my bridge camp in Highlands, North Carolina, in June, one player found a great way to distract West. Bill Geary of New Orleans, knowing that he was going to win only one heart trick, dropped his king under

East’s ace at trick one! When East led back the heart six, West should have ducked to keep communication with his partner. But he distractedly won with his queen and played a third heart. Now Geary drove out the diamond ace and came home with an overtrick. Terrific!

We took you to the hill with the tank for your final resting place. Two of your family dogs have joined you. I tried hard to understand about the tank to be moved, but I did cry a bucket of tears the first time to visit you and no tank. I’m sorry if we took the tank for granted.

Happy 65th Anniversary Please come and help us celebrate

Floyd & Sylvia Fiset’s 65th Wedding Anniversary at the Lumby Legion Hall on Wed Aug 27/14 from 2 till 4pm No gifts please

Today is a special day because I celebrate one year of marriage with the love of my life. My wife and I have always done things a little differently than everyone else but I wouldn’t have it any other way. After 22 years of being together and raising our three wonderful children we finally tied the knot; and trust me the wait was worth it. Today is a special day and I want to celebrate not only our first anniversary but also everything in between and everything to come. I love you Vera Efimoff. Here’s to a lifetime of happiness.

Happy 60th Diamond Anniversary Robert and Evelyn Geyson. August 28 1954 - 2014 With love from Richard, Karen and Teri
