Fun for all ages at IPE
Fair draws crowds RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The Armstrong fair is proving to be popular. About 21,938 people walked through the gate at the Interior Provincial Exhibition Thursday, up from 18,9717 during the same day last year. “It was definitely a great Thursday for us,” said Bryan Burns, IPE general manager. There were 17,145 people on the grounds Wednesday. But attendance was expected to surge Friday, Saturday and today as families enjoy the Labour Day long weekend. “Those are the big days,” said Burns, who will be checking to see if this year’s fair surpasses 2014’s total attendance of 147,932. Gate figures for Friday and Saturday were not known at press time. Burns is encouraging everyone to come out and take in the fun. “There is so much to see and do. There is something for everyone,” he said. Gates open at 7:30 a.m., the exhibit halls are open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and the West Coast Amusements’ midway opens at 11 a.m. The CPRA rodeo goes at 8 p.m. For more information and schedule details, go to www.armstrongipe. com.

What draws people to the Interior Provincial exhibition varies from person to person, but once they experience the fair, they always return. Laura and David Mungall of Blind Bay, who celebrated 38 years of marriage on Tuesday, wander among the stalls petting the goats as the sounds of pigs, goats, and sheep mingle with the voices of the fairgoers. The couple, originally from Toronto, moved to Blind Bay 10 years ago, and have been coming to the IPE ever since. “We are away from the big city now and here we are petting goats,” said Laura, with a chuckle. “My favourite part is the stuff to eat; the hot dogs on a stick and the doughnuts are the best, and we like going to all the buildings and checking out what is new.” This is a big year at the IPE for Elizabeth MacDonald, 14, who has been coming to the fair every year since she was three. She is competing in her first horse show and admits she is a bit nervous as she gently pets her partner for the show Chevy Silverado, a 10-year-old miniature horse, who seems undisturbed by all the activity going on around him. “I look forward to the rides at the fair the most,” said MacDonald. Emma Klimm, 10, her mom Tanya and little sister Issabella, two, of West Kelowna, pet a micro pig and learn about the breed from owner Karen Hamilton. “I love the pigs; they’re so cute and loud,” said Emma. The other thing that brings them back year after year is the food. “I love mini doughnuts,” said Emma with a grin.

Enrolment critical as classes resume RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Vernon School District officials are watching the numbers. Another year of classes resume in Vernon, Coldstream, Lumby and Cherryville Wednesday, and the big question is how many students will walk through the doors. “Elementary (enrolment) is building and secondary is down a bit,” said Joe Rogers, superintendent. A stable enrolment of 8,200 students, including 200 international students, is expected, but Rogers admits that final figures won’t be determined for a month. Economic turmoil in Alberta could be a factor. “You never know if you’re going to get more families move back to the Okanagan,” said Rogers. Total enrolment is critical because the school district’s funding from the provincial government is based on how many students are in desks. While there is room in some schools, others are at capacity. “Seaton is full, Vernon Secondary School is full,” said Rogers. While students and teachers were off during July and August, schools were busy places, with about $1.4 million spent on capital upgrades and maintenance.
LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR
Grade 1 teacher Kim Tassie gets her classroom ready for the first day of school at Okanagan Landing Elementary. Wednesday is the first day of classes in the Vernon School District and it’s a half day with full days starting Thursday. “At Harwood (elementary), they redid a room for the Restart program,” said Rogers. A shift towards a new provincial curriculum is also moving ahead. The amended curriculum model will
connect reading, writing and arithmetic to collaboration, critical thinking and communications skills. “The emphasis is on core competencies employers are looking for,” said Rogers.
The curriculum also includes an emphasis on environmental sciences, aboriginal perspectives, the history and ongoing legacy of the residential school system and the historical experiences of East and South Asian immigrants. Starting this fall, the government begins the three-year process of transitioning to the new curriculum, starting with kindergarten to Grade 9. Teachers in those grades will have the option to use the new curriculum this school year, before it is fully implemented in all schools in the fall of 2016. District administration and trustees will also be doing their homework as they prepare the 2016/17 budget and hope to avoid significant cuts. A major decision will be made on the future of busing. “Will we charge, what will we do?” said Rogers, adding that public consultation will be part of determining what happens with busing. But while some complex issues are on the agenda, Rogers insists the start of a new school year is a time to focus on students and their potential. “There is tremendous energy at this time of the year. The kids are happy to see their friends and find out who their teacher is,” he said.
North Okanagan-Shuswap ready for students RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Students are getting back to the books. Classes resume Tuesday in the North Okanagan-Shuswap School District. “We are looking forward to a good start-up,” said Glenn Borthistle, superintendent. It’s anticipated that total enrolment will be 5,650, down 100 students from last year. However, final figures won’t be known for about a month and there is the potential the forecast could go up or down. “There is a levelling out or small increase in elementary numbers and a decrease in secondary numbers,” said Borthistle. The number of students impacts the district’s bottom line.
“We are looking forward to a good start-up.” — Glenn Borthistle
“We always try to budget conservatively on our projections and make plans accordingly,” said Borthistle. The district is currently under funding protection from the Ministry of Education and if there is an increase in enrolment and subsequent costs, that could create challenges for the district’s set funding allotment. Trustees and administration met recently and they prepared
a strategy leading up to 2016/17 budget discussions beginning this fall. “When we get to spring, we will have had time to discuss ideas,” said Borthistle. “We will continue discussions around the long-term facilities plan and how to continue supporting rural schools.” Last March, trustees voted to keep Silver Creek Elementary open after considerable concern
was raised among residents and parents. The school had been proposed for closure as part of the long-term facilities plan due to low numbers and the need to reduce costs. In preparation for the start of this new school year, staff were kept busy with maintenance and capital works projects at many schools. Among them was an upgrade to technology infrastructure. “We are one of the first districts to implement a Next Generation network,” said Borthistle. “It will provide increased band width to all schools, More and more resources are delivered through technology.” The new year also begins with a new secretary-treasure Nicole

Corridor plan proceeds RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Locals and visitors will have to wait until they can explore a former rail corridor. The Regional District of North Okanagan, Kelowna and Lake Country purchased the former Canadian National line earlier this year, but there is no timeline yet to open the property up to the public.
“CN is going through a salvage program and environmental remediation,” said David Sewell, RDNO chief administrative officer. “They are likely starting down in Kelowna and the regional district’s line will be last to have its ties and steel pulled up.” Removal of the track will occur some time next year, and then the jurisdictions must ini-

tiate a planning process to determine how a recreational trail will unfold. One of the issues is governance of the corridor. “We want to see how there will be a common look and feel,” said Sewell. Some non-profit organizations want to fundraise to construct the trail, but Sewell insists a go-slow approach is required. “We want to make sure we’re not over-selling and we know what we’re selling in terms of timelines and what we’re developing,” he said.

Grizzly access limited RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The hammer is being dropped on recreation enthusiasts tearing up Greater Vernon’s watershed. The Ministry of Forests is proceeding with plans to develop formal campsites at Grizzly Lake and to restrict access to sensitive areas around the reservoir. “There are homemade toilets all over the place and dispersed camping and it’s getting out of hand,” said Ian McLellan, the ministry’s recreJennifer Miles ation officer. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee has expressed concern about mudboggers in the reservoir and other activities. “ATVs and quads are running up and down the dams and we have to stop that before a dam breaks,” said Dale McTaggart, the Regional District of North Okanagan’s general manager of engineering. The ministry’s plan is to develop three campgrounds with 35 sites. “We will allow them in some areas and there will be pit toilets and we will close some areas with
boulders, fences and ditches,” said McLellan. Within two years, campers will pay to use the campgrounds and a site host will be present. By creating established campsites, the ministry’s full regulations and the ability to deal with offenders comes into effect. “We’re trying to manage them better so they don’t impact the environment and so they have a good experience there. We want to attract families,” said McLellan. There is also the possibility of the ministry working with an ATV club to provide some amenities in an area where no environmental damage can occur. “If you give them something, it’s easier to take something away from them,” said McLellan. GVAC has endorsed the ministry plan and it’s also pursing a land lease for the Grizzly dams, spillways and areas that could be flooded if a dam breaches. About $60,000 is being budgeted for fencing and deactivation of access roads. “We want to protect our reservoir but we appreciate (recreational) activity will happen,” said Jennifer Miles, the regional district’s water sustainability co-ordinator. “We want to direct people into recreational sites for that particular activity.”

Teams target mussel infestations Morning Star Staff
The Ministry of Environment says new invasive mussel defence teams have made great strides searching for tiny molluscs on watercraft. Since May, the teams have inspected more than 3,200 boats in 19 communities and 26 boats were decontaminated. Four boats required a 30-day quarantine period, in addition to the decontamination, to ensure lakes remain protected from invasive mussels. “Our co-ordinated and ongoing efforts are making a real difference keeping invasive mussels out of B.C.,” said Mary Polak, environment minister. The program was created by $1.3 million in provincial and B.C. Hydro funding and $360,000 from the Columbia Basin Trust. Keeping B.C.’s waterways invasive mussel-free is a joint effort by neighbouring states and provinces, and the Canadian Border Services Agency. B.C.’s invasive mussel defence program includes six mobile decontamination units and 12 trained auxiliary conservation officers who perform road-
side watercraft inspections and decontaminations. The public is encouraged to report musselaffected boats/equipment to 1-877-952-7277.

Monashee’s closing doors ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The last pint of beer has been poured, but the popular pizzas are still available. After nearly eight years in business, Monashee’s Bar and Grill, on the corner of 30th Avenue and 30th Street, closed its doors for good after last call Saturday night. “The cost of food, labour problems, the increasing number of restaurants. Overall it’s a tough market for a restaurant,” said Monashee’s owner Steve Pauls of the reasons for closing the downtown establishment. Pauls is going to expand the adjacent 30th Street Liquor Store into the Monashee’s building, and take down some of the old liquor store and expand the parking lot. Arguably Monashee’s’ top menu item has been its pizzas and Pauls – who also owns the Kal Sports Bar directly across the street – said the pies will continue. “It’s business as usual for now with delivery, coming out of Monashees,” he said. “We will be moving my pizza oven across the street and we will continue to do Monashee’s pizza delivery.” One other thing that will continue is the support in the community. Monashee’s has sponsored sports teams, leagues, and special events. “It’s a huge part of any business and I’ll support everything I can through Monashee’s liquor store and the Kal Sports Bar,” said Pauls.
have to solve the intersection. We’re getting somewhere.” Akbal Mund, Vernon mayor, admits residents want a traffic light while the ministry remains firmly opposed. “You can stay at a stalemate or look at options that satisfy everyone,” he said. The most recent plan from the ministry called for a protected T intersection to allow for left-turns from Stickle Road on to the highway
towards Vernon. There would be a separate left turn with turn-around access for Silver Star RV Park and the ministry would eliminate highway cross-movements and left-hand turns from the RV park. That plan drew widespread public opposition.

s the so-called off season fades into the long weekend and the real world returns on Tuesday (well, apparently Wednesday if you’re going to school around here), it’s time to once again take stock of the world around us, such as it is..... ......just because we’re experiencing one of the longest federal election campaigns in history doesn’t mean it’s going to have the most to offer. Although I figure the real campaign starts after Labour Day, or at least in most people’s minds, as Glenn Mitchell there hasn’t been much offered to a cynical electorate that’s craving real leadership in some form or another. While the Conservatives do their best to distance themselves from the Duffy affair, good luck with that one (Who? What? Where? When? What’s his name again? Never heard of him. Come again?), the NDP promises everything to everybody despite the cost and the fact that we apparently are in a recession and the oil and gas industry, that helps pay for a lot of things, is on their naughty list and is already providing less and less to our coffers, yet somehow they are going to balance the budget (again, What? How? Come again?). And then there’s the Liberals struggling to find their way through the political goo to establish themselves as a viable alternative to, well, the other two, and so far coming up well short. Obviously there’s still time to capture the public’s imagination, as like I said it’s the longest campaign in modern history, but so far it looks like same old, same old from all three likely resulting in a minority government for the Tories as the opposition parties divide up the welldeserved protest vote. Which means, sadly, we would likely get to do this all over again in the not-too-distant future. So to try and avoid this I would like to offer
MITCHELL’S MUSINGS
this to all three would-be saviours: cut out the crap that suggests you have all the answers for everyone, and the accompanying promises of money and attention that, let’s face it, won’t happen, and give us some honest, thoughtful answers that suggest you care about us and respect our intelligence and that you’ll do your best but, in reality, you’re winging it like the rest of us. A little humour, which I know is taboo in these controlling, politically correct, oh so serious times, wouldn’t hurt either but I’m not holding my breath. I think you might find Canadians will respond to someone they can actually connect with and may even want to go for a beer with, given the opportunity. In other words, throw the script away and get real for a change, it will be refreshing for everyone involved and it might even result in some kind of bond or trust factor that is sorely lacking at this point in the game. Of course the handlers and party politics will say it’s way too risky and I’m being naive and nostalgic and I’m the one who should get real and they’re probably right. OK, but even though it’s still six weeks away and anything can truly happen, I smell a minority government on the horizon...... .......and speaking of long and winding roads we just shipped our oldest son off to Victoria for university. Well, not so much shipped as loaded up the truck with every castoff we thought he might need to establish a new home for at least eight months or so, and headed off Clampettstyle for the Island. And Griswold-style, our makeshift tarp only lasted a few kilometres and luckily it didn’t rain, much, and we weren’t transporting pets or anything, so we all got there in one piece, but boy that ferry is expensive. Although we still have one at home (no longer can he split unloading the dishwasher duties with his brother so there is hardship involved), it’s a bit of a watershed moment for our family and I blame one member of our family for making it more watery than it really needed to be........
Turn on your TV and change it to a news channel, open a paper, or check the internet. It’s a policy blizzard out there. In fact, we’d have trouble keeping up if we were covering nothing but announcements from the three major political parties. While the United States is suffering through a bizarre Republican primary that is light on issues and heavy on Trump, Canada is a policy wonk’s dream. Just in the past week or so, we’ve seen the major party leaders make promises on senate reform, old age security, northern defense, business taxes, even home renovation tax credits. We’ve called for a debate on bigger issues – things like global warming, but we could as easily have said health care or the role of Canada’s military, post-secondary education, veterans and the future of our economy. So far, we haven’t seen too much discussion of those big issues. But the party leaders have a long road ahead of them, and they have to save some ammunition for September and October, when everyone’s back from summer getaways and can really get down to paying attention to the news again. Right now, we’re actually pleased that, at the very least, there are issues on the table. Not all of these issues are minor, either – when Harper talks about expanding the Junior Canadian Rangers, or Mulcair wants to return Old Age Security to 65 from 67 years, those are both indications of significant priorities for their potential governments. We’ve actually seen a lot of talk about how things would go under Trudeau, Harper, and Mulcair. It may be a little piecemeal right now, but it could be worse. We could be talking about Donald Trump. -Black Press

Session raises more questions
had the dubious pleasure of attending the recent open house held at the Prestige Inn. It was obvious in the first few minutes that the ministry was there to ram something down our throats. It had always been my opinion that an open house/information session was held to inform the public and obtain feedback to allow politicians and bureaucrats an opportunity to make an informed decision. The first thing I noticed was that there was no alternate plan to the proposed T-intersection. Prior to the water referendum, we the taxpayers, were given the opportunity to review and comment on several alternatives. Not so here. The ministry has a plan, and in the opinion of the ministry, it is a good plan and now they are going to pull out all the stops to try and justify this plan, and the more opposition they run into the more they dig in their heels. I had an opportunity to trade a few comments with two of the people presenting this plan. I was being handed from one presenter (expert) to the next every time I asked a question that this individual couldn't answer. Unfortunately, I never did have an opportunity to speak to the last one on the list, the expert who apparA RESPONSE A response to the letter entitled "No response." Why is B. Cousins ashamed to be a Canadian? Well, he first states the offense of Stephen Harper wearing sweaters in 2011, supposedly to make him more "human." In addition, it seems he also does not approve of Mr. Harper's "lack of response to the findings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission." I guess there is something positive in all of this. It reflects and exposes a desperate need to find fault, any fault, by those who hold to opposing political intentions. No matter what Stephen Harper wears, says, does, or does not do, it will be "righteously" mocked. M. Strangward CITY HALL I am not happy with the Vernon councillors. There is nothing happening. I ran for council last November. I received about 800 votes but not enough. I had some good ideas like free parking for the handi-
ently could have told me about the fact that a traffic light would not work and why this is a special location, not to be compared with the light at the college, the various traffic lights going into Kamloops, lights in Armstrong and all the numerous places around B.C. with similar situations. Our location is unique. The other question, which they hadn't rehearsed ahead
capped but no response. To help businesses downtown, we need more people downtown. We remove the Elks Hall and build some condos there and also move the Greyhound bus depot to Anderson Way next to the casino and Fairfield Hotel. Why can't the mayor and council do anything but talk? Maybe they do need more money. The chamber of commerce can help bring new business here but we have to upgrade and not stay farmers. The First Nations people should be on council as they have lots of land and we can work together. We can start with a sky train, one track and electricity and no pollution. Let's get real and people will move here. Interest is cheap at the banks. With the water issue, they say $70 million but with interest, it is $100 million. Art Gourley CLIMATE CHANGE In an act of incredible chutzpah, a recent article by Conservative MP Colin Mayes misrepresents
the Harper government’s blatant neglect of climate change as bold action. The Harper government has been a major cheerleader for the oil and gas industry, spending millions of tax dollars in the U.S. and Europe to promote the oil sands. He has slashed environmental protection laws and environmental assessment regulations as requested by the oil and gas Industry. Every year since Harper became prime minister in 2006, Canada has been awarded the Colossal Fossil award at the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, as the country which has done the most to block international progress on climate change. Harper repeatedly calls carbon pricing crazy and job-killing while economic studies indicate that more jobs are created per dollar invested in the renewable energy sector than in the oil and gas industry. Many countries such as Norway, Germany, and China, are developing a strong renewable energy sector while Canada lags far behind. A recent study in the scientific
of time to get their answers into sync, was why it was so important to have an acceleration lane as you approach Vernon to get back up to 90 kilometres an hour. Hello, we are approaching a city with the idea that traffic needs to slow down, not speed up. Incidentally, these are the same people who originally proposed the ill-conceived plan of redirecting all traffic on to Pleasant Valley Road, including large transports doing business in that area and needing to get back on to the highway and into Vernon. I have one more question for these learned people regarding truck traffic. This plan is supposed to make access to the highway safer, including left-turn traffic for a slow-start semi coming out of Stickle Road. These trucks will still have to face the high-speed traffic coming out of the city as they attempt to find the one small slot to get across the lane of traffic coming at them at 90 kmh. This is safer? I asked Murray Tekano this question and was shunted off to his young assistant who could not provide an answer. I hope Mr. Eric Foster will stand by the citizens of Vernon in his comment that this proposal will require a review. George Tribes
journal Nature confirmed that, “most of the Earth's remaining fossil fuels will have to be left in the ground if the world is to avoid catastrophic global warming.” Harper’s plan for regulating greenhouse gases (GHGs) is a sector by sector approach first announced in 2007. But eight years later, there are still no regulations for the oil and gas sector, which is the fastest growing source of GHGs in Canada. This is akin to creating salmon fishing regulations which only apply to the Prairie provinces. Harper attempts to minimize Canada’s GHG emissions by saying that they represent only two per cent of global emissions; yet we produce four times the global average per person. That two per cent alone is now responsible for 8,800 lives and $15.4 billion annually in costs of climate change according to an international humanitarian organization funded by UNICEF. That would make the Conservative government and its stubborn refusal to deal with our
new energy reality to be the real terrorist threat in Canada. Eli Pivnick

It’s going to cost more to do business in Lumby. Council gave three readings to a bylaw Tuesday that will hike business license fees. “There hasn’t been an increase in 20 years,” said Coun. Julie Pilon. Under the proposed plan, fees in most categories will climb, including cardlock properties from $130 to $200, catering from $50 to $75, sawmills and concrete plants from $100 to $150 and professional services from $50 to $100. All categories of restaurants Julie Pilon will see licenses increase by $25 while most categories of retail space will also rise $25, except for retail more than 5,000-square-feet, which will go up by $70 to $200. Coun. Randal Ostafichuk says administrative

duties related to licenses should be paid for by businesses and not subsidized by village taxpayers. “Administration costs have increased in 20 years,” he said, adding that the increases are reasonable. “When I had a business in Vernon 15 years ago, the business license then was higher than it is in Lumby now.” Pilon doesn’t expect many complaints. “The chamber of commerce has looked at it and they brought it to our attention,” she said of out-ofdate fees. Once these new fees are adopted, it’s expected it will pump an additional $6,600 a year into village coffers. And that could jump by a further $1,500 if a medical marijuana production facility opens. “These new funds can be used to fully cover the funding to the chamber, with any remainder allocated to cover the village’s administrative expenses related to the business license process,” said Jeremy Sundin, the village’s director of finance, in a report to council.

Butler big in playoff Morning Star Staff
Vernon Kal Tire flirted with danger by pulling out a 2-1 win in penalties over last-place Kelowna Select Your Tickets in Kelowna Tree Brewing Men’s 35+ Soccer League quarterfinal action Thursday Night at MacDonald Park. The Tiremen came out strong early when veteran forward Bryan Schenker showed why he can still hang with the young boys and skinned a defender and beat the keeper with a low shot. Play then went back and forth for most of the night and league champion Kal Tire (15-33) looked flat. At about 25 minutes, Select Your Tickets (4-13-4) equalized on what looked like an offside play. Chances were had by both sides in the remaining time, but regulation ended square. The game changer was Kal Tire Man of the Match Iain Butler, who after getting his hand on two penalty shots, stopped the fourth shot and then buried the winner. Next up for Kal Tire is Penticton Pinnacles in a Thursday, Sept. 10 semifinal (7 p.m.) at Beasley Park in Lake Country. Penticton finished fifth at 9-10-2 but got by fourth-place Enco/Executive Flooring (11-10) in their quarterfinal match Thursday night. In Okanagan 55+ action, Mahmoud AbdelKader and Rob Ross handled the offence as the Silver Stars bounced Brandt’s Creek 2-0. The Stars improved to 12-5, while the Pubbers dipped to 8-10-1. Vernon Kal Tire had a bye. Host Penticton TC Auto stopped Kelowna #1 4-1 under the lights at Kings Park. Daryl Pace converted a rocket shot within five minutes for Penticton. Peter Toth set up Pace for his second goal, while Toth recorded the third top shelf and then completed the scoring by putting a free kick in off a defender. A nice combination by Kelowna resulted in a late goal by Joe Jameson. The Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ League is replaying games cancelled due to smoke a few weeks ago this Monday night. In Vernon, the Silver Stars battle North Country Appraisals Kickers in A side action at Marshall #1 (6:15 p.m.), while Bosman Accounting tangles with the Rented Mules in a B side match at Marshall #2. The Okanagan Spring Camels face Penticton United at Kings Park, while Turn-Key Controls of Vernon battles Rutland Spirit at Beasley Park.

North Okanagan rallies for pre-season draw Morning Star Staff
A late goal off a scramble in front of the net gave the visiting North Okanagan Knights a 1-1 Kootenay International Junior Hockey League pre-season draw with the Posse in Princeton Thursday. The Knights wrapped up their exhibition schedule Saturday in Chase.
“After the goal, we were all over them looking for the winner,” said Knights head coach Bryant Perrier. “They couldn’t get the puck out of their end.” Daniel Paul, who gave up four goals in a 6-0 pre-season loss to Revelstoke, bounced back to blank the Posse in his half of action.
Jared Breitkreuz of Summerland played the last half and gave up a goal early in the third period. North Okanagan starts its regular season Friday in Grand Forks. The Knights’ home opener is Wednesday, Sept. 23, against the Posse at the Nor-Val Sports Centre.

Maurice and Fay Smith were married in Kolkata, W.B., India at S.H. Church Sept. 7, 1963. Remembering those happy years when their three beautiful daughters, Lynette, Michelle and Faye, and handsome son, Maurice Jr., were born, since then their children have married wonderful partners, Ben, Andre, Scott and Sarah. The Smiths have also been blessed with eight adorable grandchildren, Daniel, Dale, Crystal, Tracey, Julia, Rebecca, Makayla, and sweetheart Jorja. The Smiths migrated to Canada in September 1991, and worked as managers in Kamloops for Kamloops TransCanada Motel and
Vernon’s TravelLodge for many years. The couple are now retired and live a happy, contented life in Vernon, enjoying their grandchildren who are growing up. On Aug. 7, they attended the marriage of their eldest grandson, Daniel, in Campbell River. The Smiths thank Jesus and Mary for their happy years of peace, love, happiness, and togetherness, always with their loved ones. The couple remembers their 25-year silver anniversary in India, their 40-year ruby anniversary at St. James Church in Vernon, followed by their 50-year golden anniversary at Our Lady Queen of

Celebrate that timeless Canadian ooey gooey treat when the Lumby Public Market hosts the inaugural Butter Tart Festival and contest Saturday, Sept. 12. “I just love butter tarts,” said organizer Donna Easto. “Growing
up, my aunt used to make them for birthdays. They were the best. Mine aren’t quite as good, but I know that the Okanagan boasts some of the best butter tarts in the west. And, I’m not sure, but this may be the very first Butter Tart Festival held in B.C.”
As part of the festival, there will be a juried Best Butter Tart Ever contest and a People’s Choice Award, which will be decided by market goers. Judging commences at 11 a.m. “As the event’s theme is Okanagan freestyle, we are hoping to see a wide range of butter
tarts, celebrating both the talented bakers of the Valley and the wealth of its natural abundance – Apple? Peach? Brussels Sprouts? Stinging Nettle? Bacon? The variations are endless,” said Easto, adding, “We (also) expect to see some fabulous traditional raisin and pecan tarts at the festival and in the contest.” Everyone can enter the contest: home bakers, commercial bakers, kids, and “gee-that-
sounds-like-fun” beginners. Vendors are welcome to sell their wares along with buskers to perform at the market, but first they must call to reserve a place. The Lumby Public Market takes place at Glencaird at Norris (beside the pool) Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.. For information, contact Easto at lumbypublicmarket@gmail. com or 778-473-0013.

Foot power in Copenhagen RICK MILLIKAN Special To The Morning Star
RICK AND CHRIS MILLIKAN PHOTO
Hans Christian Anderson and the Tivoli exemplify Danes love of imagination. silver lions frisk in front of two ornate, gilded thrones. A Danish coat of arms embellishes the stucco ceiling. “Long Hall’s wall tapestries depict Denmark’s victories against Sweden during the Scania wars,” a guide explains. “Those side reliefs illustrate Frederik IV’s decrees, most notably the serfs liberation.” A large memorial honours dockworkers near the busy waterfront. Just beyond, famed Little Mermaid perches on a rock. Perhaps paying homage to Anderson’s most beloved tale, crowds gather, many snapping photos. Ahead, dockside buildings reflect Maersk’s longstanding contributions to Denmark. One has windows displaying model vessels of this shipping company. Nearby, Michelangelo’s David fronts redbrick West India Warehouse. Once
enclosing slaves, it now celebrates the human body. Inside, the royal cast collection of over 2,000 naked plaster statues and reliefs exhibit worldly artwork from antiquity to the Renaissance. From waterside Amalie Garden, we veer upward past a magnificent fountain to Amalienborg Castle, where four identical neo-classical palaces border an octagonal courtyard. Here, an equestrian statue honours Frederik V, who developed this 18th century castle. He also developed the surrounding district and its iconic domed Marble Church, long serving Danish Lutherans. Ambling again along the waterfront, we admire the modernistic opera house, bestowed by Maersk’s owner and Black Diamond, the Royal Danish Library’s extension

DENMARK - Denmark’s compact capital is perfect for exploring afoot. Strolling from our hotel past the bustling train station, we soon arrive in Copenhagen’s historic centre. Bronze dragons line lofty city hall’s terrace. A golden statue above its main entry represents Bishop Absalon, the city’s 12th century founder. Denmark’s beloved writer of children’s tales sits on the sidewalk below. A bronzecast Hans Christian Anderson gazes approvingly toward today’s cyclists whizzing along his namesake boulevard and Tivoli Gardens, the world’s second oldest amusement park. In the age-old shopping district, we encounter Round Tower. King Christian IV built this observatory as part of Copenhagen’s medieval university. A stone bust of Tycho Brahe recalls his nightly planet study. Nearby, lies Denmark’s oldest royal garden and Rosenborg Castle. Topped with step-gable roofs and lofty green-topped towers, its Dutch Renaissance architecture invites investigation. Rooms exhibit royal artifacts spanning the late 16th to 19th century, including etched glassware, clocks, crockery, royal portraits and Danish landscapes. The small indoor yellow-tiled bathroom reveals their ‘modern’ comfort. On the top floor, the grand reception area features a collection of silver chairs; three
sparkling with polished black granite. Heritage buildings line Nyhavn Canal. This charming neighbourhood contains Hans Christian Anderson’s former apartment. At Anderson Pub, we quaff Carlsberg ales and munch ham sandwiches. Energized, we cross a canal bridge, pass through some eclectic architecture and behold Holmens Church, a Dutch Renaissance treasure. Across the next canal stands baroque Christiansborg Palace, home of the Danish Parliament, Prime Minister’s office and Danish Supreme Court. Behind the palace, a 400-year-old brew house now houses white statuary gathered mostly from royal gardens and palaces. So the Lapidarium presents the haunting encounter of 300 ghostly Danes from bygone eras. Minutes later, we enter the sun-lit atrium of Glyptotek Museum. A pink granite hippo greets us at the start of a saunter among Europe’s finest artwork. A mosaic depicts an early brewery hinting at its benefactor, Carlsberg’s owner. Our 11-kilometre loop around Copenhagen encompasses castles, parks, heritage buildings and public art. This city scape reveals Danes’ proud history and their love of imagination, education, enterprise, community spirit and good beer. Rick Millikan is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR
Craig Dickson, store manager of the downtown Safeway, has worked for Safeway for 40 years, with 14 of them spent at the downtown store. The 30th Avenue store is celebrating its 50th anniversary in that location. There has been a Safeway in downtown Vernon since 1927.
Downtown Safeway is golden LISA VANDERVELDE Morning Star Staff
The price of food may have changed, but after 50 years, their mission to provide great service has remained. Downtown Safeway is celebrating half-a-century in its current location, although it has been providing groceries to Vernon residents since 1927 in two previous sites. “We have been the anchor and corner point for downtown Vernon,” said store manager Craig Dickson. Dickson has worked for Safeway for 40 years with the last 14 of them at the downtown store, and he is proud of the relationship he and his staff have with their customers and the community. “The product that we offer is constantly good and we try to be a part of the community we serve,” said Dickson. “What we do for the community and charities is important.” The store boasts some long-term employees, including Ken Henry, who has worked his entire 44-year career at the downtown Safeway, and Robert Albrecht, who has been there 36 years. “Why would I want to retire? I would miss the daily interaction with people,” said Albrecht. Raised in Vernon, Albrecht remembers his trips to Safeway as a child and loving the smell of ground coffee as he entered the store. The original building was near Nolan’s Drugs and the sec-

In 1965, Dickson estimates that there were about 40 employees compared to the current staff of 120. A story printed in the Vernon News June 14, 1965 announcing the opening of the new store shows that much has changed in 50 years, including a woman’s role in society. “Shopping in Canada Safeway’s new Vernon store is con-
venient, easy and above all, it’s a one-stop centre providing the housewife with everything she needs,” states the article. “She can stroll leisurely around aisles with a shopping cart, selecting a wide variety of merchandise and produce.” The downtown store has been updated and expanded with its last facelift in 2007 and serves 17,500 customers (both husbands and wives) per week.

MAKE YOUR Lamp shades a passion GOLDEN YEARS GOLDEN TYLER LOWEY
Morning Star Staff
Margaret Dowling has been lighting houses for nearly three decades with her Unique Antique Lamp Shades and Bases company. “I like to look inside the homes the lamp shades are going into and get a feel for the style, colour and how they will fit in,” said Dowling. Dowling makes custom lamp shades by hand outside of her work with Interior Health as a housekeeper. She moved to Vernon for work 35 years ago from Chester, England. Eight years later, she started the lamp shade business. Dowling’s lamp shades have been sold all over North America. Mainly selling locally in town, tourists will get in touch with her on their vacation and have their lamp shade shipped to their home upon completion. “The lamp shades take anywhere from one to nine months to make,” said Dowling. “It all depends on what type of lamp shade I am making.” Each lamp shade is made by hand, one bead at a time and contains her signature butterfly. “Lamp selling is my life,” said Dowling, who was born in the same hospital as Agent 007, Daniel Craig. “I love the freedom and the spirit of making each lamp shade for a specific room.” Dowling makes trips to England and France

YOU AND THE LAW® QUESTIONED BY POLICE? WHAT ARE THE RULES?
© Janice Mucalov, LL.B. and George Mucalov, LL.B. Cop shows often end with heroic police officers handcuffing a suspect who promptly spills his guts and confesses. And it’s usually clear from the start they got the right bad guy, who’s only going to get what’s coming to him. But TV isn’t real life. In reality, police often have to try to piece together what happened by interviewing people who might know something about the supposed crime. They may form an opinion about one or more potential suspects and question them too, angling for a confession. That’s because if there’s no reliable eye-witness, physical or DNA evidence pinning the crime on someone, a voluntary confession (or even just a statement by an accused) can be the most effective proof at trial of “who done it.” You should understand that a suspect’s statement to police isn’t intended to clear him. The police may well be looking to that statement for a crucial missing piece of evidence. Such Nick a statement may be used against the suspect – and may just provide that missing piece, linking the suspect to the alleged offence. So what are the rules in Canada if you’re questioned and detained by police? For starters, you have the right not to incriminate yourself, to stay silent and say nothing. This right pre-dates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. You also have the Charter right, if arrested or detained, to be told why you are being arrested or detained and that you have the right to talk to a lawyer without delay – arrest or detention is the trigger here.

So what does it mean to be “detained”? There are two types of “detention” – you may be physically detained but, in addition, it’s also possible for you to be psychologically detained. “Psychological restraint” may occur when there’s no legal obligation for you to go along with a police officer’s demands. But a reasonable person in your place would feel, because of the police’s conduct, they had no choice but to stick around or answer questions. In a recent case, the B.C. Supreme Court decided that’s just what happened the first time the suspect was being questioned by police, at length, three days after they started to look into a crime. The investigators had concluded before the interview that this was their prime suspect and pretty well told him he had no choice but to go along with their persistent interrogation. Overall, the conduct of this interview spelled psychological detention, even though the suspect wasn’t in danger of immediate arrest.
Jacob
Because he wasn’t warned and told of his constitutional right to talk to a lawyer though detained, the court decided that the suspect’s statements at this particular interrogation should not be used at his trial. There’s no doubt police have a difficult and important task to try and solve crimes. But it’s also important that a fair process is at play to ensure a just result when your freedom is at stake. If you’re questioned by police and detained, be sure to make use of your rights. Call your lawyer as soon as you can – you’ll get specific-to-your-case advice and pitfall alerts. And, most importantly, follow your lawyer’s advice. Written by Janice Mucalov and George Mucalov, LL.B.s with contribution by Davidson Pringle LLP.

Arrangements can also be made to drop them off in Lumby by calling Susan Latimer at 250-547-9207. Antlers should be removed because they take up too much freezer space. In 2011, seven cases of bovine tuberculosis were found in local area livestock. “Rigorous monitoring is in place, and there have been no reported cases since then, but a working group of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, the Ministry of Forests and the Ministry of Agriculture are undertaking this study to ensure that the disease has not transferred to wildlife in the area,” states the government release. “So far, there is no indication that wildlife are infected, but undertaking the study is an important step to confirm the disease is not present.” This is the second year of the program, which is scheduled to run for a total of three years.
In the previous year, only deer were tested, but this year, the program is being expanded to increase both sample size and also check other ungulates in the area. Bovine tuberculosis is a highly contagious disease that can debilitate and kill deer, moose, elk and cattle. The bacteria is primarily transmitted through close contact, coughing and sneezing, although fecal and urine contamination of shared feed and water sources can be involved. Infection is more likely to occur when there is close contact between individual animals, so high animal densities can play a role. “The type of tuberculosis that occurs in wildlife and cattle can infect humans but this is very rare,” states the release. “To prevent transmission, hunters should thoroughly cook meat and routinely wash their hands and wear gloves when field dressing game.” To learn more about bovine tuberculosis visit, www.env.gov. bc.ca/wld/wldhealth/ diseases/specificdiseases/tuberculosis.htm

Lake Country food bank top success story Morning Star Staff
The Aviva Canada Insurance Company has chosen the campaign to build a permanent home for the Lake Country Food Bank as the success story to launch its 2015 Community Fund contest. On Friday, Sept. 11, Aviva Canada executives and a video crew will be on site to create a video showing how the community fund can stimulate projects that benefit a whole community. All residents of Lake Country are invited to attend starting at noon, and going until 1 p.m. The Lake Country Rotary Club will provide free hot dogs and drinks. The Food Bank project won the $100,000 grand prize in 2014 in the Aviva Canada Community Fund competition, thanks to a communitywide drive for on-line voting. Since then, Aviva Canada’s donation of $100,000 enabled the Rotary Club to commence construction. Students in the trades training program at Okanagan College (Vernon) provided 6,000 hours of free labour to erect the walls and roof. Since then, doors and windows have been installed and subtrades are ready to begin electrical, plumbing and mechanical connections. With the help and support of local individuals and business, the building should be ready for food bank volunteers to move supplies and services in by November, before the Christmas rush. The food bank normally serves about 600 needy families every month. Over Christmas that number can rise to more than 1,000. This year, for the first time, applicants for assistance will not have to stand outside in the cold waiting for their turn to be helped. Until now, the food bank’s 60 volunteers have had to work out of two small rooms in the basement of the former

Sometimes dreams have students, and students go forward confidently in the direction of those dreams. Devon Opp didn’t know how it could happen but as she looks back, she can see that her life was preparing her for where she is now, a student at the prestigious Central St. Martin’s College at the University of the Arts in London, England. “When I was 16, I had this crazy plan. I would be the next big fashion student to come out of Central Saint Martin’s College,” said Opp, a 2011 W.L. Seaton Secondary grad. That year, the college was holding interviews for prospective students Devon Opp in Canada and one interview was in Vancouver. “My Mum and I packed up the car with every piece of clothing and art I’d done in high school. I felt everything was an unprepared mess when I went into the interview. I was at a point where I was so scared of my dreams being shattered. They told me I was accepted then and there, but I was so nervous I wasn’t really sure.” She had to go back and make sure she had been accepted. “I realized I wanted to do something arts-related when I was really young. My Mum was my biggest cheerleader. She was just cautious. Before I even set out to go to university, I had to prove to her that the debt I would accumulate would be paid off, which I think is one of the best lessons I have ever learned,” said Opp. She had other people on her team. “Mrs. Vance, my sewing teacher for five years at Seaton, encouraged and pushed me to excel. So many people helped me, I thank them all. Vernon gave me a solid work ethic, a good sense of community, and an education that allowed me to get to London, England.” She had her place in the London College of Fashion foundation program but still had to think about finances. She took a year off to work and save before moving to London in Sept. 2012. Opp’s visa allowed her to work for 20 hours a week, which she has been doing, in addition to 30-40 hours a week of university work. She has completed her foundation diploma and has a final year to do for her bachelor of arts in fashion design at the Wimbledon College of Art, also a part of the London University of the Arts. With the final year’s tuition at $27,600 and student loans covering only half that amount, she is going to take another year off to work and will graduate in 2017. “Living in London is the single greatest experience of my life. I have learned so much about the world — I’ve become so cultured. London is one of the best multicultural cities to live in, I have friends from every continent, except Antarctica, in

Opp’s design/sketch of the costume (right). the world,” said Opp. “Going to the London College of Fashion and now Wimbledon College of Art (in England, a university is made up of many colleges) is really surreal sometimes. I am a student enrolled in a program that is one of the best in the world and that reminds me of all I’ve accomplished. It’s crazy to think I’m actually this good at what I do. I don’t believe it yet. I don’t know when I will, probably in seven years time when I look back at all I’ve done.” Opp says her foundation year was a lot of fun. “I met so many cool, incredible people and I’m still friends with some of the people I went to foundation with. The first
year of entering my BA, I had to spend working a lot to make ends meet. But I wanted to get as much as possible out of it and spent the summer doing as many work placements as possible.” She worked at a milliners (hat making), a wig makers, and on a mini-TV series and in a theatre. “My second year in my BA has been the best year yet. I have learned so much. My design skills could use some work but we are taught how to draft patterns, dissect a script or brief and pull a character out of the words to create a 3D costume for a character to inhabit. We are taught some leather-working skills, casting and moulding/sculpting. We’re taught how to make traditional costume pieces: corsets, petticoats, period shirts, hat and wig making, cutting in the stand/draping and many specialized techniques. The technicians in the collage are still working in the industry, as are our tutors, so the experience they are passing on is the absolute best.

hat is happening when the Internet slows down? Since last spring Microsoft has released Windows 10 and is encouraging users of older versions of the operating system to upgrade. As with any generational change in computer software some issues in Vernon pC users’ Club the product being replaced may be resolved, but on the other hand, new problems may be introduced that mitigate whatever net gains are being touted by the software developer. As a general rule it is prudent not to
Computer question
be an early adopter of new software, particularly operating systems which impact all application software under its control. Network system software is a different breed of cat, however, over which the end user has no control whatsoever once the delivery method to your home or business has been chosen. Remember the dialup modem which piggybacked a digital signal over a network designed for analog voice traffic? If you were an Internet user in those days you were competing for bandwidth not only with other Internet users but as well with those folks who just wanted to call home. Nowadays we have dedicated high speed digital networks built with coaxial or optical cable with bandwidth capacity several orders of magnitude greater. Still, these networks do have a limit as to how
much traffic can be handled. Much of the voice and text mail traffic has moved to cell phone networks, but the Internet still does the heavy lifting in the form of streaming entertainment content like movies and sporting events. So when the Internet slows down think of the system that delivers water to your home. If everyone on your block or in your highrise were to decide to take a shower at the same time you might be lucky to get a dribble. Windows 10 might allow you to check your e-mail faster and help you kill time while waiting on a download, but it would be a pleasant surprise if it improves Internet speed. The next meeting of the Vernon PC Users’ Club is Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Schubert Centre in the cafeteria. Call Betty at 542-7024 or Grace at 5494318 for more information.

The meaning behind the semicolon tattoo Contributed to The Morning Star
What do a semicolon tattoo, the phrase “To Write Love on Her Arms” and cycling all have in common? They are all social media movements dedicated to inspire and encourage discussion about mental illness, recovery and hope. At first glance, it is unclear how these three things connect to mental illness. The fact is, not many of us will take the time to understand these
social media movements until we know why they matter. In any given year, one in five people in Canada will experience a mental health problem or illness, with a cost to the economy in excess of $50 billion. Only one in three people who experience a mental health problem will seek out and receive treatment. Of the approximately 4,000 Canadians who die every year
as a result of suicide, many were confronting a mental health problem or illness. Project Semi-Colon uses a simple semicolon symbol to carry a powerful message – their website says that a semicolon is used when an author could’ve chosen to end their sentence, but chose not to. The author is you and the sentence is your life. Sept. 10 is World Suicide Prevention Day, an annual
event to reduce stigma and promote dialogue. This year’s theme is Preventing Suicide: Reaching Out and Saving Lives. It serves as a call to action to both individuals and organizations. We all have a role to play in preventing suicide by offering support; we can make a difference and help save lives. – Jenny Green is a community health facilitator with Interior Health.
Vernon fashion designer is living the dream Continued from A26
Living in London is another education. “I love how busy London is, there is always something to do. I love going to museums. My favourite is the Victoria and Albert Museum, where I have a membership. I went to the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibition three times.” Opp wants to work
as a costume designer for film when she graduates and is now doing a work placement on a film set with Academy Award winning costumer designer Sandy Powell, who has worked on Cinderella, The Young Victoria, The Aviator, and Shakespeare in Love. Opp and a fellow student had the opportunity to interview Powell for an assignment and got
the job from that. “We’ve been working for her for two months, researching costumes and going into the preproduction phase of the film. This is what I want to do. I want to be around creative people, being collaborative, creating really cool things. “That’s the dream, just dreaming bigger and better things to achieve and setting goals that
are extreme and seeing where I can go. I’m excited to think about looking back at my life when I am 80 and remembering all the things I have done... I think that would be the coolest, just doing what I love doing, so that it doesn’t feel like a job.” Opp has these thoughts for students going back to school and considering career dreams.

Coldstream Coffee House moves to new home Popular open mic to continue in a bigger space at the Powerhouse Theatre KRiSTin FRoneMAn Morning Star Staff
For the past 13 years, musicians and performers of all walks of life have tuned up their instruments and voices in front of an appreciative audience in Coldstream. The monthly Coldstream Coffee House is a true success story, with its packed houses of appreciate audiences who have gathered to support both seasoned and new performers. Some of those novice performers have gone on to do quite well for themselves, says Keith Hustler, himself a musician who plays in local folk-roots trio Steel Wound and is a member of the not-for-profit Coldstream Live Music Society, which puts on the coffee house. However, with the popularity of the event, the coffee house has literally outgrown its home at the Coldstream Women’s Institute Hall. Although the coffee house will continue under its Coldstream moniker, the event is moving to bigger digs – in Vernon – at the Powerhouse Theatre. “The community of Coldstream has been good to us, but we ran out of space at the hall,” said Hustler. “This is not a ticketed event, which can be expensive. It has always been a walk-up event for perform-

After 13 years, the coffee house is moving to new headquarters at the Powerhouse Theatre. ers and audiences. We don’t want to get too formal.” “There was only one show in the past two seasons where we didn’t turn people away at the door,” added Kerry Parks, Hustler’s bandmate in Steel Wound, who is also a member of the Coldstream Live Music Society. The men say the coffee house will run in the same format, with a feature performer delivering a set of music and an open mic open to those experienced and aspiring artists. “Sometimes we get too many that want to get up on the stage. If they are coming from a long way away, by default they will get on,” said Hustler. The coffee house isn’t exactly amateur hour for the latest garage band or circus act, he added.
“It’s a self-regulating kind of thing. We try to be consistent up front. We encourage people to come out, drop in and play, even if they haven’t played before... (However,) we are an acoustic venue. There are not a lot of juggling acts,” said Hustler. “For many, this is not the first open mic they have ever played. It’s a great opportunity once you have played a few coffee houses and open mics. It gives you the opportunity to get out in front of an audience in a professional setting. It’s a progressive venue,” added Parks. The open mic portion of the coffee house has seen every kind of act from spoken word and classical piano to a children’s choir and Peruvian music. “One of our strengths has been the standard of expectation. This
is not a jam. The audience knows what it’s going to get,” said Hustler. “The audience expects a certain kind of show. We get a lot of regulars,” added Parks. Also, unlike a jam in say a bar or club, the coffee house is family friendly and open to young performers. “It’s satisfying to see young kids get up and perform. It’s a great opportunity to put them in front of a live audience. We have watched a number of young people from their first-time out to going professional,” said Hustler, citing the Shuswap’s Jesse Mast and W.L. Seaton Secondary student Julia Thompson as two young artists who have gone on to do well for themselves. “We offer a professional environment with professional equipment
for them to perform on. You are not going to get that anywhere else.” Moving to the 220-plus softseat Powerhouse Theatre, home to Vernon’s community theatre, will increase that professionalism with sound and lighting. “We are really happy with the venue,” said Hustler. The Coldstream Coffee House will continue on the third Saturday of every month (with some scheduling changes to allow for Powerhouse Theatre’s presenting season), with the open mic portion of the evening preceding the feature performance. “Our feature act has evolved as the coffee house started as an open mic,” said Parks. “We can now advertise who our feature act is going to be and it allows us to attract professional and semi-professional artists. Some of them have performed in the open mic before being the feature act.” “They used to be paid from a 50/50 draw and now we can pay them a little bit more,” added Hustler. The Coldstream Live Music Society has also provided a monetary scholarship to a Vernon Community Music School student the past few years. The first feature act of the 201516 Coldstream Coffee House season will feature local female acoustic ensemble Sorella, who will take the stage at Powerhouse Theatre Sept. 19. Admission will remain at $5 per person to keep the coffee house accessible to families, said Hustler. The cash concession, offering treats and refreshments, will also continue.
Folk-roots society growls into fall with Lion, Bear, Fox Contributed to The Morning Star
It took Christopher Arruda (The Lion), Cory Woodward (The Bear) and Ryan McMahon (The Fox) more than 30 years to find each other, but only one month for this “musical force of nature” (according to The Nanaimo Daily News) to realize they were meant to join their voices as one. In May, 2012, the three men set out on tour to promote their respective solo efforts. Over wine, campfires, nights in cheap hotel rooms and woodland cabins, an unshakable bond began to form. They shared stories of their lives, successes and failures in the music industry, and ultimately their dreams of what they hoped to accomplish as artists. Three big voices began to support each other during shows and at the tour’s conclusion, they had a set-list worth of material. Something that had come together so naturally, so organically, simply had to be allowed to grow. And grow it has. In the three years since the band’s inaugural show, The Lion, The Bear, The Fox have made a name for themselves across western Canada. And now the threesome is about to hit

The Lion (Christopher Arruda), The Bear (Cory Woodward) and The Fox (Ryan McMahon) perform the next concert for the Vernon Folk-Roots Music Society at Powerhouse Theatre Sept. 13. the stage in Vernon, when they perform as part of the next Vernon Folk-Roots Music Society concert, Sunday, Sept. 13 at the Powerhouse Theatre. “All three artists are known for the passion they bring to their performances and the honest songs they write,” wrote Black Press paper, The Ladysmith Chronicle, and the men have succeeded in creating gripping, dynamic songs while capturing a sincerity rarely heard this side of the 2000s.
Bridging the gap between Vancouver, where The Lion and The Bear dwell, and Ladysmith, where The Fox resides, is only a testament to their collective commitment of creating their brand of passionately honest songs. After securing a top 20 position on The Peak’s prestigious Peak Performance Project, the band released their debut EP, We’d Be Good Men, in October, 2013 and went on to celebrate the effort in numerous sold-out
venues across B.C. and Alberta. The self-produced record is steeped in character with performances captured in bedrooms, hallways, board rooms and openspaces across B.C. The momentum continued last year as the band delivered their energetic brand of “stomp rock” to the U.S. and beyond. Amidst the chaos, The Lion, The Bear, The Fox has also started a life-long partnership with Music Heals, a charity that advocates, fundraises and creates awareness for music therapy across Canada. Having been touched personally by its effectiveness, the band’s initiative (bandwagonproject.com) aims to increase the use of mobile recording studios in a wide array care facilities, from patients facing life altering diagnosis, to schools and retirement homes. The Vernon Folk-Roots Music Society brings The Lion, The Bear, The Fox to the Vernon Powerhouse Theatre Sunday, Sept. 13 with opening act, Olivia. Showtime is 7:30 p.m., with doors opening at 6.45 p.m. Tickets are $20 (members $15) at the Bean Scene, TicketSeller or at www.vernonfolkroots.com. Tickets will also be available at the door (if available).

Printmakers to discuss their work Morning Star Staff
In keeping with the Vernon Public Art Gallery’s focus on contemporary printmaking this year, the gallery is inviting the public to take in one of its upcoming artist talks. “You will gain valuable insights into the production of their work from both Laura Widmer and Briar Craig,” said VPAG executive director Dauna Kennedy Grant. “The depth of
thought that goes into printmaking production is quite astounding and these talks are a great opportunity to delve deeper into your understanding of the practice from two celebrated printmakers.” Widmer’s talk, Saturday, Sept. 12 at 1 p.m., will focus on her printmaking exhibition, Threshold, currently on display at the VPAG. Her work is said to contemplate the pivotal moments of life’s expe-

riences and is a powerful symbolic examination of polarized qualities of the human condition. In turn, UBCO printmaking professor Briar Craig will talk about the group exhibition, pro/ con/textual, Sept. 19 at 1 p.m. This exhibition of leading Canadian print artists – Craig, Ericka Walker and Mark Bovey – invokes a discussion about the use of text in contemporary art making in general, and an inquiry where the artists’ work fits into that tradition. Both artist talks will include a question and answer session along with coffee, tea, and cookies.

Kinshira’s roving act of stilt walkers and street performers entertain at festivals and galas. The Kelowna troupe will be a part of Lake Country’s ArtWalk next weekend.
ArtWalk illuminated
More than just a dance studio!
Morning Star Staff
The largest art show of its kind in the B.C. Interior, this year’s 22nd annual Lake Country ArtWalk will be brighter than ever. Taking place in the Lake Country Community Complex Sept. 12 and 13, this year’s theme, Light: Illuminating Art, is in celebration of the international year of light. Not only will the 300plus artists participating in the show be exhibiting more than 3,000 original works of art, the Lake Country Art Gallery is also holding a correlating exhibition relative to the theme. “I’m always intrigued by how folks approach a themed exhibition,” said gallery curator Katie Brennan. “I like to leave a lot of room for creativity of all sorts.” Also part of this year’s ArtWalk is a performance by Kelowna performing arts troupe Kinshira, who will tell the tumultuous tale of Josh Pike through dance, martial arts and acrobatics and using flow props such as poi, hula hoops, staves, juggling and more. “With light and flow, Kinshira will guide you through mists of time to see Josh travel the paths of Memory Park and how the pursuit of passion can shape the life of one man,” reads a release. The troupe will perform at the Creekside Theatre in George Elliott Secondary School (part of the Lake Country complex) Sept. 12 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 or $88 for four. Call 250766-9309 to order. More info is available at lakecountryartwalk.ca.

Live Well
HEALTH TIP SAM NOLAN
brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist
About 40% of Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime. If you could lower your risk would you do it? When the link between smoking and lung cancer was made public in the 1960s, deaths from the disease dropped significantly. So stopping smoking is the right thing to do. Other ways you can reduce your cancer risk is to exercise daily (at lease 30 minutes), eat less red meat (2x per week max) and keep your weight in check. •••••••• It is well known that losing weight can also decrease your risk of diabetes. The weight-loss doesn’t have to be a lot. Just a 5 - 10% drop in your weight can decrease your blood pressure and cholesterol. It can also improve your body’s ability to utilize insulin and reduce glucose tolerance. Losing weight can help you live a longer, quality life. •••••••• Speaking of diabetes, the internet often targets diabetics to “cure” their diabetes quickly by purchasing liver detox kits and special herbl remedies. Be very wary of these. Depend on your doctor and pharmacist to guide you on the right path to treat your diabetes. •••••••• September 9 is Fetal Alcohol Awareness Day in Canada. The purpose is to highlight the fact that there is no safe amount of alcohol to consume during pregnancy. The baby’s brain is very sensitive to alcohol while it is developing. So the best and safest rule is to drink no alcohol at all during pregnancy. •••••••• Knowledgeable, approachable, dependable … our pharmacists are all this and more.

to reveal the Wizard... Whatever the kids call it these days, the four dudes in this film go hard. Now, before you squirrel an angry letter to the editor, Skrillex Jr., stay cool. I’m not saying EDM and drug culture go hand in hand, I’m saying that is the case in We Are Your Friends. A fee is always levied, in fiction, in life, in this predictable and immature film. HOWE: It wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad either. Based on the trailer, I wasn’t really looking forward to this. It looked like a film about a group of friends going out to clubs, drinking, partying and picking up women. Don’t get me wrong, it is all of these things, but there is a backstory to their lives, their dreams and how they struggle to make a living. There is a glimpse into the generation, the culture. TAYLOR: I’ve read that some people are raving at how well Efron
learned to DJ. I think they must have been referring to the twisting of the knob. DJs don’t need me to make fun of their status as musicians, far funnier folks have bested their ilk. I don’t blame any DJ for earnestly hanging on to some knob or switch, head bobbing to the beat, waiting, earnestly excited for whatever will happen when he twists. It’s like a guitarist pulling faces, or a singer dancing, there is drama to be had, including in this film. But this film fails because it’s shallow. Someone said, “Let’s make a movie about EDM culture and kids today.” They just fell short of making it very interesting or valuable. HOWE: How do the people know he did a good job DJing? Were they at his gigs, or was it down to editing magic? He just twists knobs and a track is laid down over the top? I will give him this, it had to have been the best acting I have seen from him. He wasn’t a creepy pervert, like in The Lucky One, or came across cheesy as he did in Neighbors, and for that I congratulate him. TAYLOR: I think Efron could be a serious actor, given the right opportunity. – Howe gives We Are Your Friends 3 nail guns out of 5. – Taylor gives it 2 scenes from Gone Girl out of 5.

Another perfect evening
Bridge by Phillip Alder SOMETIMES, YOU MUST ACCEPT THE FACTS Thomas Fuller, a 17thcentury English scholar and preacher, said, “Get the facts, or the facts will get you. And when you get ‘em, get ‘em right, or they will get you wrong.” That sums up rather well what happened when this deal was played in a social game. What do you think of the auction? South had a minimum one-heart opening bid, especially with those doubleton honours in the minors, but everyone would bid with that hand these days. West had an easy weak jump overcall. Now came the key point of the deal. After a weak jump overcall, responder
may bid one level higher than he would have done in an uncontested auction. Here, North’s three-heart bid showed the values for a single raise. With a gameinvitational hand, he would have jumped to four hearts. And with a game-force, he would have cue-bid four diamonds. It is expected that South will play the cards accurately, aided by West’s intervention. Here, East would have done well to bid three no-trump, which was unbeatable given the 2-2 diamond break. But she did even better when South went on to four hearts with no extra values whatsoever. East happily doubled. West led the spade seven, and East cleverly put in the
jack to find out who held the queen. South won with her ace and ran the club queen. The defenders took that trick, two diamonds, one spade and, eventually, one trump for down two, plus 500. South did not face up to the facts and paid a steep price.

Rudi Fischer We are truly saddened to announce the passing on Wednesday, August 26, of our father, our father-in-law and our Opa, Dr. Rudi Fischer. Rudi (known to us as Pap) had a remarkable life starting from his days as a child in Indonesia, his schooling in war torn Europe and his decision to seek a new life as a doctor in Canada together with our mother, Attie, who passed away only a few short months ago. While Pap often related fun and interesting stories of his childhood in Suluwesi, his youth was interrupted by the global conflict of World War II. His experiences during this time did much to shape his personality, his professional ethic and his values as a husband and a father. Rudi knew when he met Attie (Mom) more than 65 years ago that he had found a life partner whom he could trust, love and enjoy a happy life together. After making the courageous decision to immigrate to British Columbia in the 1950’s, Rudi and Attie set about creating a warm, happy, stable family life for their children with stops in Victoria (twice!), Vancouver, Penticton, Kingston (Ontario) and Vernon. Driven by the instability he experienced in his youth, one of Rudi’s prime goals was to provide his family with the security and comforts he felt were essential to nurturing a healthy soul. Known to be frugal, Pap was at the same time very generous, particularly with family. As a very private person, Rudi did not let many people get close but was very loyal and caring for those whom he did. His commitment to his family, and his guidance have been an enormous benefit to us all. We will be forever grateful and happy to have had him as our father and our friend, and while we are heartbroken at his passing, we take comfort in the fact that our parents were not separated for long and are now together forever as they always wanted to be. “I gave to you my love, you can only guess how much you gave to me in happiness, I thank you for the love you each have shown, But now it’s time I travel on. So grieve awhile for me, if grieve you must, Then let your grief be comforted by Trust It is only for a time that we must part, So bless the memories within your heart I won’t be far away, for life goes on” Arrangements have been entrusted to Vernon Funeral Home, Phone: 250 542 0155. Condolences may be offered at www.vernonfuneralhome.com

George was born and raised in Enderby and had to leave school with only eight years of education. Later in his career, in the dairy industry, he earned his boilermaker certificate as well as cheese maker, butter maker and tester of dairy products. He worked for Salmon Arm Dairy which became S.O.D.I.C.A. which then became NOCA and then Dairyland for 40 years, mostly in a manager position, he ran the Salmon Arm plant. George also became an electrician and plumber, and used these skills to build several homes in his spare time. George’s passion was beekeeping - they were his other children. He also enjoyed hunting, fishing and doing jigsaw puzzles. In retirement mom and dad became snowbirds and enjoyed 13 years in Yuma, Arizona with friends. Many thanks to the caregivers at Mount Ida Mews where he received excellent care. A private family service will be held at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129. Email condolences and share memories through George’s obituary at www.fischersfuneralservices.com.

The new school year in B.C. is the start of a three-year transition to a new curriculum that Education Minister Mike Bernier says will emphasize “hands-on” learning. The new curriculum is being phased in this year for kindergarten to Grade 9, with higher grades still in development. Bernier said this year it will be up to local school districts and teachers to begin implementing it before it becomes mandatory in the fall of 2016. Grade 10-12 curriculum is to be mandatory in 2017. Bernier, the Peace River South MLA appointed education minister this summer, said he’s heard from teachers who are looking forward to a curriculum that allows more flexibility and individual learning. He stressed that basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic will remain, but students will also be taught life skills, communication, collaboration and critical thinking. Two areas of emphasis for the new curriculum are environmental education and an aboriginal perspective, which Bernier said will be present in “every single component in the curriculum.” Local schools are encouraged to work with aboriginal communities across the province to represent the full diversity of aboriginal experience, he said. Hands-on learning is already in place in schools, and Bernier used the example of a shop teacher in his home town of Dawson Creek who encouraged students at risk of dropping out to take his course. Bernier invited parents to look for themselves at grade-by-grade documents posted at curriculum.gov.bc.ca, listing learning standards and areas of emphasis. In the science curriculum, for example, students are to be taught “big ideas” that in grade
one include “observable patterns and cycles occur in the local sky and landscape.” By Grade 8, the students are to learn at “Earth and its climate have changed over geological time.” Science competen-

These worries are normal when introducing your child to a new school experience or changing their routine. Dr. Jane Garland, a psychiatrist with B.C. Children’s Hospital, recommends parents plan ahead to help ease the back-to-school transition. Whether it is your child’s first day at school, or if they are having a hard time adjusting after summer break, gradually exposing them to their envi-
ronment can make a big difference. “Taking time to expose your child to their new routine one to two weeks before school starts can help lower their anxiety and help instil excitement,” said Garland. “This could involve simple things like planning and packing lunches together, building a school supply list or visiting the school playground for a picnic.” Tips for parents and caregivers: n Introduce children to the school year routine one to two weeks before school starts n Plan for transitions – getting to school, returning to school after breaks n Provide regular

Don & Shirl Grant
Don Grant & Shirley Banks met in their early teens. Shirl graduated from Cumberland High School and went to The Provincial Normal School in Vancouver and then happily accepted a teaching position in Courtenay. Don gradulated from Tsolum High School (near Courtenay) then went on to obtain his Mechanical Engineering Degree from the University of British Columbia. They were engaged in 1950. Don gradulated from UBC in May 1955 and accepted an engineering position with Crown Zellerbach Pulp and Paper Mill in Campbell River. They were married July 2, 1955 in Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Cumberland and started their married life in Campbell River. Their three children were born there. In 1969, Don was transferred to Kelowna, and a year later, to the Lumby saw mill which was recently purchased by Crown Zellerbach. After 2½ years there, he was transferred to Armstrong Crown Zellerbach. They purchased a home on Okanagan Lake where they enjoyed many years with family and friends. Their hobbies include trout fishing, playing bridge and RVing. Shirl also enjoys drawing, painting and photography. They both have, over the years, participated in and held volunteer positions with several local and worldwide organizations and charities. Since Don’s retirement, they have enjoyed world travel. Their eldest daughter, Ellie, a graduated of Simon Fraser University, is a teacher in Courtenay. She is married to Kevin and they have three children: Lesley, Ross and Brie. Lesley is married to Aaron and they have three children: Aidan, Owen and Noémie. Lona, Don and Shirl’s second daughter, graduated from Thompson Rivers University and teaches in Kamloops. She is married to Arthur and she has two sons, Russell and David. David is married to Zita and they live in Germany. Robb, Don and Shirl’s son, graduated from The British Columbia Institute of Technology in Occupational Health and Safety. He accepted a position in the Technical department at Alcan in Kitimat. He and Marianne are married and have two children, Duncan and Laura. The family have happily returned to live in Vernon. Early in July 2015, Don and Shirl had a wonderful 60th Wedding Anniversary Celebration with family and friends at Ellie and Kevin’s home near Courtenay.
