It’s grow time at
Food school security needs focus
GARDENING: | Parents pull together to make school garden a priority for children at École Alberni Elementary. SUSAN QUINN ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS
When children at École Alberni Elementary School are hungry at recess, they don’t have far to go for a snack. “We have kids eating kale every recess and lunch hour,” said Laurie Morphet, school principal. And the best part about the kale? The kids grew it themselves, in the school’s garden. Local grower Heather Shobe coordinated the garden program five years ago; this year organic master gardener and farmer Sherry Lyons has taken over. Lyons is excited SHERRY to see the kind of LYONS cooperation that parents, teachers and children have in the spirit of the garden. Earlier this month parents gathered for a work party and Lyons was amazed to see how much progress was made in one hour. The school has 70 feet (21 metres) of raised beds, a new garden bed that was dug up on the other side of a doorway, a couple of fruit trees that were donated, and 25 feet (eight metres) of strawberry beds. The school uses seeds from

the seed lending library and relies on donations because funds are limited. “I think that good food should be available to all children,” said Lyons. “If you teach a child how to grow food, they will never go hungry. The low valued Canadian dollar and the drought threaten food security, putting good food further out of reach for some families,” she added. “You can buy fast food much cheaper than fresh fruits and
veggies in the stores, so learning to grow your own food just makes sense. “I know from my own children that if you teach children how to grow their own food then later in life they will make better food choices. They realize how much better food tastes, how much better the texture is; they learn to experiment with food,” Lyons said. “With increasing obesity and diabetes, it just makes sense.”
Teachers have embraced the school garden concept at the school, Morphet said. The school had already established the garden under former coordinator Heather Shobe when Morphet arrived at the school. The garden is one big learning experience for students, she said. “There are many students who don’t have gardens or parents don’t garden. This is an opportunity to make a lesson out of growing.”
CUPE workers vote for strike mandate at ACRD CUPE Local 118 workers are hoping to solve contract negotiations with the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District through mediation despite giving their bargaining team a 90 per cent strike mandate last week.
CUPE national servicing representative Casey Thomson says the main outstanding issue is wages. “We have been meeting with the district since June, and have made progress on several contract issues,” says Thomson. “We are
hoping we can wrap this up with the help of a mediator and without the need for job action.” Before taking any job action, the local has to file 72-hour strike notice with the BC Labour Relations Board. “CUPE and the regional
district have traditionally enjoyed an excellent relationship based on mutual respect and cooperation,” CUPE Local 118 president Stacy Watton said. “We have never had a strike in the district and rarely even have
grievances—we have always been able to work out any problems together. “We are counting on that solid history to help us reach a fair settlement this time.” CUPE 118 represents 21 workers at the ACRD.
The Alberni Valley has seen a sharp decrease in truly local food, according to Alberni Valley Transition Town Society’s Dan Schubart. “Well 50 years ago, something like 80 per cent of the food that was consumed in the Valley was grown in the Valley,” said Schubart. “I think we’re down to about seven per cent now.” More people, Schubart said, are shopping at big box stores— and where they get their food from varies. “Everything that’s in there comes from outside of the Valley,” he said, adding that even DAN when something’s SCHUBART marked local that doesn’t necessarily mean it really is. “Recently, the province redefined local as being anything from within the province, so you might be getting produce from Fort St. John or the Kootenays and it really isn’t local at all because that still implies fairly long supply lines.” While farmers markets and farm gate sales help, Schubart said it’s not enough to shift the tide. “The success of the farmers markets groups have actually been pretty good. “I think that there are lots of people selling locally raised food through both the Spirit Square market and the Cherry Creek market,” he said.

is illegal,” Bertrand told city council on Monday night. “The storefront model doesn’t exist and is illegal.” Only Health Canada, Bertrand said, can licence dispensaries to mail out—and only mail out—medical marijuana to people with a prescription. “The sealed containers must be labelled with how much THC is in the cannabis,” said Bertrand, adding that edibles are not available for legal, medical usage. “Without proper labels in the storefront model, unsuspecting adults and children can overdose,” he said. Where unlicensed dispensaries get their cannabis from is also questionable, he said. “Cannabis in these storefront models is coming from organized crime as they have no access to licenced producers. They are basically storefront drug dealers.” City council has yet to make a decision regarding the dispensary. Coun. Chris Alemany said that he is “expecting that the issue will come to the next public meeting.” The next regular council meeting is on Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. at city hall.

Efforts to secure investors for the Port Alberni Port Authority’s proposed transshipment hub (PATH) at Sarita Bay are still underway, according to director of public relations and business development Dave McCormick. “We’re still working hard,” said McCormick but added that there were “no firm commitments yet. “This is a $1.7 billion project...these take time.” The port authority has applied for a P3 grant from the Building Canada fund. “We are confident that if the government supports [it] then we could rapidly leverage to secure remaining investments required.” According to a 420page pre-feasibility study by CPCS, PATH “has the potential to generate significant economic and other benefits.” However, the report notes, “to be viable, the PATH concept would need to secure long-term traffic and investment commitments from one or more shipping lines.”

Bears pay for human mistakes City covers bridge shortfall KATYA SLEPIAN
ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS
ROB MANI/SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
A bear breaks into an unsecured residential garbage bin.
how to effectively manage your garbage to reduce conflict with bears, they have put out 7,000 BearSmart brochures in utility bills, there’s BearSmart information on their website and they’ve – Brittany invested $1.5 million into a bear-resistant garbage system,” said McMillan. The city’s solid waste bylaw lists fines of $100 each for not using animal-resistant hardware on their garbage bins and for keeping waste where it is accessible to wildlife. “Every premise is responsible to prevent animals from accessing the garbage through proper management of the garbage and the container,” the bylaw reads. “The city of Port Alberni provides animal resistant
hardware for standard containers where requested by the residents for situations where animals are a nuisance.” Provincial penalties are much harsher, said Mueller Mueller, adding that a fine of up $50,000 can be imposed for the “attraction of wildlife.” The city’s bearresistant bins are available from the public works yard and cost the same amount as the regular ones. If you already have a garbage bin, the city will install bear locks free of charge. The number to call is 250720-2840. According to Port Alberni’s BearSmart liaison Guy Cicon, the city ordered 3,542 unit of the bear resistant hardware several years ago and is still working off of that supply.
‘Bears pay with their lives for human mistakes.’
However, getting people to keep their bins locked until collection time is a challenge. “Garbage needs to be secured at all times till the morning of garbage collection,” she said. City bylaws are less strict here; they simply state that the bear locks must be unlatched by 7 a.m. on collection day and re-latched within 12 hours. On the upside, Mueller said that calls for the bear-resistant bins have increased lately.
GERTRUDE BRIDGE: | Widened bridge will be completed by Christmas. KATYA SLEPIAN ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS
Cyclists taking the Gertrude Street bridge over Kitsuksis Creek will get a Christmas present this year—a wider span and a divider between them and the cars zipping past. It just might be a slightly more expensive present than previously planned. City engineer Guy Cicon was up in front of city council on Oct. 13 to present K&G Installations’ winning bid of $249,500— money that was thought to be in the budget. In an Oct. 7 report, Cicon noted that the capital budget allocated $250,000 for the bridge
widening project; this included funds left over from the separate pedestrian bridge over Kitsuksis completed last year and an extra $75,000 that was requested to meet the costs of the vehicle bridge. The calculation was found to be incorrect and the $75,000 was already included in the $173,000 leftover from 2014, leaving a $77,000 shortfall. Council voted to take $27,000 from the gas tax fund and $50,000 from an Athol Street project to make up the shortfall. The Athol Street project was chosen to be cut from the budget because it is unlikely to occur anytime soon, Cicon said. Continued / A12

Increased calls to conservation about bears getting into trash have Central Island conservation officer Brittany Mueller frustrated. “We’re getting daily reports of bears accessing garbage,” said Mueller. “We’re constantly educating but the residents aren’t taking action.” Mueller said that the Port Alberni conservation office has had 81 calls in September and 62 in October as of last week. “They’re attracted to non-natural food sources,” she said. That includes garbage, pet food and fruit left to rot on the ground. Mueller is in part frustrated because Port Alberni is a BearSmart community—the only one on Vancouver Island and one of only six in the entire province. It’s also a community held up as a shining example of what a BearSmart community should look like—at least on the government level. Speaking earlier this year, BearSmart BC consulting executive director Crystal McMillan said that the city has become “a model that’s being used province wide as an example of how to implement BearSmart measures.” That includes bylaws, fines and information pamphlets. “Their bylaws say
“Now there’s a bit of a wait list,” Mueller said. But there’s still no excuse not to make that call, Mueller said. “Just because you’ve lived in Port Alberni for 10, 20 years and never had an issue isn’t a reason not to do your part,” she said. When bears become food conditioned, there aren’t many option left for conservation officers. According to the Ministry of Environment “translocation (or relocating the bear) is rarely successful as often these bears return to their original home territory or they become ‘problem’ bears in other communities.” There’s also not enough suitable territory for bears to be relocated to— leading them to die either of starvation or of other bears’ attacks. That, Mueller said, is why prevention is key. “Otherwise, bears pay with their lives for human mistakes.”

EDITORIAL
Voter turnout encouraging Keep the ghouls safe this Halloween Elections are about the future, and with that in mind, Canadians can feel encouraged. High voter turnout in last week’s federal election is evidence that people really do care. Voter turnout soared in ridings across the country, including in Nanaimo-Ladysmith. Fair comparisons are impossible because the electoral district’s boundaries changed, but the figures we have show that citizens here were much more likely to cast ballots than in the last election. Of our riding’s 93,578 eligible voters, 71,399 dropped a ballot in the box this autumn, for a turnout of 71.4 per cent. In the 2011 election, the turnout in Nanaimo-Alberni was 67.4 per cent; in Nanaimo-Cowichan, 65.2 per cent. The reasons for the increased turnout are left to conjecture, and every person who voted might have had different reasons for doing so. In Nanaimo, we think the re-drawn riding boundaries had the effect of localizing the election and spotlighting federal issues that impact that city. The strength of the Liberal vote in NanaimoLadysmith, when compared with the party’s historical performance here, suggests it not only drew supporters from other parties this time around, but also attracted a significant number of people who didn’t vote last time, boosting overall turnout. We expect political scientists will study the impacts of social media, and what sort of impact it had on reaching voters and rallying them to one side or another. As for strategic voting – voting defensively to prevent a party from gaining power – it’s sometimes thought that it has a negative effect on turnout, since it can lead to apathy. But it’s clear that even after an 11-week campaign, apathy didn’t win the day. Instead, we got something better – voters who participated and were interested, and who we hope will continue to care during elections, in between elections, and always. — Nanaimo Bulletin

ccording to ancient Celtic tradition, the night of Oct. 31 will mark the single night of the year when ancient spirits of the dead can cross over to our world of the living. Halloween 2015 falls on a Saturday, to the relief of teachers everywhere. Port Alberni RCMP would like to help make Halloween a
safe and happy experience for your family and our community. Here are a few safety reminders: • Motorists can better see brightly coloured costumes: add reflective material or tapes for better visibility. • Carry a flashlight and cellphone. •Keep your home safe for little zombies and ghosts by removing objects outside your home that might cause children to trip or fall. • Turn on your outdoor lights to welcome trick
or treaters and only visit homes with lights on. Accompany your children as they go door to door until they reach an appropriate age. • Remind your little ones never to go inside homes or cars. • Cross roadways at corners and not between parked cars. • Stick to a planned route and avoid short cuts and poorly lit areas. • Make sure your child knows that their candy loot needs to be examined by you, before they eat. Discard any treats
with missing or altered wrapping. • Motorists must be extra diligent when driving on Halloween, as children will be on our roadways— not to mention the witches and fairies. With all the excitement Halloween brings, safety can be overlooked. Take a few minutes to go over a safety plan and rules with your little ones and perhaps… not so little ones. Port Alberni RCMP wishes you and your family a safe and supernatural Halloween.
Spirit of cooperation the best message To the Editor,
Except for the missing-man fly-past, the most memorable moment of this one-year anniversary’s memorial ceremony at Ottawa’s cenotaph last week was—in an attitude of cooperation—the simple act of laying a commemorative wreath together by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and PM-designate Justin Trudeau. The ceremony took place days after Trudeau ousted Harper in the federal election. And one of the best ways to truly honour the late Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent and Cpl. Nathan Cirillo would be to translate that same spirit of cooperation
into the political arena for a change. Incidentally, a kind of selfless cooperation akin to what Toronto Blue Jays pitcher, R.H Dickey recently referred to in saying: “It’s incredible how much can be accomplished when nobody’s concerned about who’s taking the credit.” For that same selfless spirit of cooperation is the “torch”, passed along to us by our soldiers who fight, die, and stand on guard for us. Lest we forget. Liz Stonard, Port Alberni

Instead they made it optional and required residents to request the bearproof cans when our new garbage system came into place.”
B.C. Views
V
ICTORIA – The scandal of the week at the B.C. legislature is what could be termed “delete-gate.” Primarily, it revolves around 36 pages of government emails that the NDP opposition has been trying for a year to get under freedom of information legislation. They relate to a series of meetings between transportation ministry bureaucrats and remote communities along Highway 16, between Prince George and Prince Rupert. If you want all of the accusations about government secrecy and alleged coverups, I invite you to read “Access Denied,” the latest report of the Information and Privacy Commissioner at www.oipc.bc.ca, and transcripts of question period in the legislature this week. What you won’t find there is much discussion of the
actual problem, which is a shortage of safe and practical transportation options in and out of these communities, most of which are federally funded aboriginal reserves far from the region’s only highway. What we have seen for decades is a dramatic media narrative about one or more serial killers preying on vulnerable women hitchhiking along what is now known world-wide as the Highway of Tears. The Wikipedia entry for Highway of Tears gives a sense of the credibility of this narrative. It begins with the unsolved murder of Gloria Moody, last seen leaving a bar in Williams Lake in 1969. That’s a long way from Highway 16.
Then there was Monica Jack, killed in 1978. DNA technology resulted in a charge finally being laid last year against a known serial rapist. This was even further away, near Merritt, and she was a 12-year-old riding her bike. Other cases involve street prostitution in and around Prince George, an urban hub for a large aboriginal population similar to Regina and Winnipeg. Discussion in Victoria focuses on urban notions of increased transit, in places where existing service may be underused. Nationally, the narrative is that deep-seated social problems within aboriginal communities would somehow be solved by a lawyer-heavy
‘What we have seen for decades is a dramatic media narrative about one or more serial killers preying on vulnerable women...’
judicial inquiry that looks only at tragedies involving women. If you drive Highway 16 today, you will see fading billboards pleading for information on the disappearance of Madison Scott. She was last seen in the early hours of May 28, 2011, after a grad party in the woods outside Vanderhoof. Her truck and tent were still there. Again, nothing to do with hitch-hiking, but at least it was near Highway 16. Here’s something else you won’t often hear in the Highway of Tears melodrama. There is commercial bus service on Highway 16, although Greyhound reduced frequency in 2013 as it struggles with low ridership and high costs. BC Transit also operates bus service to some remote communities like Kispiox and Gitsegukla, connecting them south to Smithers. But BC Transit requires local governments and riders to cover about half the cost. Indian Act reserves don’t
pay. North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice has noted that what people in remote communities ask for is a way to get back and forth for shopping and medical appointments. Yes, shopping is an important need, as those who live in remote areas can tell you. And Northern Health already runs a bus service for remote residents who need medical care. Rice’s observations at least move us toward practical solutions, although most of her effort seems directed towards political blame. I hope the infamous 36 pages of emails are eventually released, since they were not deleted but rather excluded from release. They may bring the discussion back to the actual public service issue, which is what realistic transportation options exist for these communities.

RCMP to hit 2015 goals: Richards KATYA SLEPIAN ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS
The Port Alberni RCMP are well on their way to meeting their goals for the year, Inspector Mac Richards told city council on Monday. The greatest success was the RCMP’s visibility and
engagement within the community. “That’s all about us being active and involved in the community,” said Richards. One of the goals set had to do with patrolling the community on foot or by bike. “The goal was 460 (patrols)...perhaps
the target was set too low,” he said. “At over 500 we are well over and will be far in excess of that by the end of the year.” The detachment also set goals regarding attendance at community events. “The goal was 24 and we’re at 16 so we should meet that goal

The detachment’s goal was to address 105 incidents related to drinking and driving; 65 of those have been investigated so far. In addition to cracking down on impaired driving, police are also focused on keeping students safe as they head back to school.

Public could decide on Westporte’s fate Nov. 18 WESTPORTE PLACE: | City will hear proposals at Echo Centre on what to do with the 68 acres of land it owns in the subdivision. KATYA SLEPIAN ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS
Westporte could soon look very different following a call for development proposals put out by city council on Monday night. “The city is proposing a call for proposals to develop a portion of the 68 acres of undeveloped
city owned land between Westporte Place and Golden Street,” said Mayor Mike Ruttan. According to a report compiled by city planner Scott Smith in January, the city owns the 68 acres between Georgia Street to the north, Brown Road to the south, Golden Street to the east and the
Westporte subdivision to the west. According to Smith, all 68 acres are zoned as future development but the northeastern corner—mainly around creeks and streams—is set aside in the city’s official community plan as park space. “Lugrin Creek has a couple of branches going through there,”
‘We can address concerns and provide support for the existing Westporte.’
– Mike Ruttan
Smith said, adding that the area is approximately five
acres. Ruttan said that there were a variety of proposals that could help address residents’ concerns in the area. “Help address the clear need for increased housing for seniors... particularly it could be a way forward for Rainbow Gardens to proceed with some of its
goals.” Rainbow Gardens was unsuccessful in expanding its facility into Westporte Park after scores of residents packed a public hearing at city hall to voice their opposition in March of this year. Ruttan hasn’t forgotten the residents’ clear wish to keep their park. “We can address
concerns and provide support for the existing Westporte neighbourhood.” Residential growth is also a possible use for the currently empty land. A public meeting will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 18 from 6–8 p.m. at Echo Centre to review and discuss possible uses of the land.

couldn’t do it.” Perry was at ADSS to talk about the day 10 years ago when he was hit with1,200 kilograms of plywood at work—and also the long road after. He applied to work at a plywood store in Victoria after deciding he’d had enough of making sandwiches at Subway. “After six months of that, I realized I probably wasn’t cut out to be a sandwich artist,” Perry said. “My 30 minutes of training consisted of a five tonne truck, a forklift, table saws, drill presses, a bunch of different materials and a cash register.” Being the newest guy on the floor, Perry didn’t complain— instead he got to work on heavy machinery he wasn’t qualified to operate. “I didn’t take into consideration that the little bit of training I received was not

him—that a drainage pipe in the yard made the ground uneven. Unable find anyone other than his friend, Perry grabbed him and the two got to work. “It was the blind leading the blind.” Perry’s friend jumped onto the forklift. “I put my arm up in the air like I had done a million times before, dropped my hand down and immediately was hit in the back with five sheets of medite,” Perry said. “The first five sheets sent a tingly sensation through my legs. You’ll notice I said the first five sheets— there’s more to come.” Perry took a step forward and was slammed with another five sheets. “It took a split second and I lost all feeling from the belly button down.” It’s been 10 years since then and through physiotherapy, Perry has regained some use of his legs. But coming back from an injury that severed 70 per cent of his spine wasn’t easy. “It felt like a prison centre,” Perry said of the rehabilitation facility he spent months in. “Be safe, ask questions,” he said, pulling out a catheter he was forced to use. “You don’t want that .”

World renowned hair stylist Phillip Wilson is used to speaking in front of theatres full of people, imparting style tips that last year earned him the title of top educator in the world. On Monday, though, he elected to share his wisdom with a handful of stylists—at Trends Design in Port Alberni. “I rarely ever do this,” said Wilson, the international creative director for Starting from
ColorProof Hair Care. “I usually live on the world stage, I do 58–62 flights a year in 60 countries...and consult for Oscar, Emmy, SAG, TV greenrooms, for lots of celebrities.” Wilson met the Trends team at a workshop in Nanaimo, and through his Vancouver Island distributor Marlene Barfoot, arranged to come to Port Alberni for a session. “It was just amazing,” Trends owner Rosanne Doiron said. “It was an incredible privilege to
have someone of that calibre to come to Port Alberni and teach in this tiny salon.” Wilson taught the half-dozen Port Alberni stylists how to cut the classic Vidal Sassoon Firefly bob haircut. Sassoon, who died in 2012, is credited with creating many iconic hairstyles in the 1960s. “He was teaching us to do the haircut but it’s all the techniques he taught us to do within the haircut that we can incorporate in any style.” editor@albernivalleynews.com

The Alberni Valley Bulldogs came home from their first long road trip of the year with a tie, a win and a loss. “Overall it was a good trip,� head coach Kevin Willison said. The Bulldogs travelled over the border to Wenatchee, Wash. where they tied the Wild 3–3. They beat Langley 4-1 the next night but dropped their final game 3–2 in Chilliwack. “For our first time playing in the US, I thought it was a wellplayed game, Willison said. “It was well executed by both teams.

The Bulldogs’ homeand-home series against Nanaimo will be a good one, Willison said. They play Nanaimo at the Dawg Pound on Halloween night. editor@albernivalleynews.com
The first winner of the annual Totem Spirit competition at Alberni District Secondary School was actually a princess. The Totem basketball tournament was 11 years old, and Chris Roberts was crowned the first-ever Totem Princess. The competition eventually turned from “princess� to the inclusive “Totem spirit�, but one thing remains the same: the students behind the spirit are an integral part of the basketball tournament, says former coach Jim Seredick. And yet it is the basketball players who get all the attention, he notes. He hopes to rectify that by the time Totem 61
happens in January 2016. Seredick is madly attempting to put together a book on Totem Spirit, much as he did for the basketball tourney’s 50th anniversary. Because they missed the 50th anniversary last year, Seredick says the theme for the book will be “50 plus one�. He is starting to contact all the princesses and spirit winners, but is hoping for a little bit of help: he is asking if anyone can help with photos, clippings or anecdotes about the winners. Anyone with information, names, photos, etc. of the Totem Princess and Totem Spirit competitions may reach Seredick by e-mail at jimgoya@ hotmail.com or mail in care of ADSS.
Black Sheep drop home game to Piggies The Port Alberni Black Sheep took a knocking on the rugby pitch this week, dropping a 28–3 contest to Cowichan here at home. It was the Sheep’s first loss since the beginning of the B.C. Rugby Union
season. “It was a big win for them,� Sheep head coach Jas Purewal said. Cowichan took a 10-0 lead early in the game. Jordan Kurucz scored a penalty goal to put the Sheep on
the scoreboard, but with seconds left in the first half Cowichan had a dropped goal. They began the second half by scoring points right away for a 16–3 lead. Cowichan rounded out scoring with a try

and a converted try. The game cost the Black Sheep more than points, as Kurucz left the game in the second half with a broken collarbone. “We weren’t as disciplined as we have been,� Purewal said.
The game was chippy, and the players seemed distracted, she said. “The first 15 minutes was all us; we completely dominated them, but came away with no points. That inflated them.�

Charlotte (where he lived previously) is a big place but LA just made sense.” He won’t be leaving without a sense of melancholy, though. “When my wife and I came here we thought we were coming to build a youth ministry,” Williams said. “The youth ministry has instead grown us.” Williams won’t be completely severing ties with the community, he says. “This is my church family. When my church needs me, I will make myself available,” he said. His work with Mission: Possible, encompassing the ADSS Breakfast Program, EJ Dunn Backpack Program, Community School Program and Read and Feed Program, will continue.

Lefty Williams is leaving town. “It’s heartbreaking to do this,” the popular youth minister at Jericho Road Church said last week. The Unity Basketball game was Williams’ final event in Port Alberni; he and his family will leave on Saturday for Los Angeles, where Williams will devote his time to his Dare2Dream foundation. Williams came to Port Alberni three years ago intending for it to be a permanent move. But an opportunity came up, and he is taking it, he said. Los Angeles “is just the right place,” Williams said. “When you talk about resurfacing from a national standpoint,

On Oct. 4, the Alberni Athletics U14 girls’ soccer team played their rivals, Nanaimo’s Harbour City Football Club. The Athletics came out strong both defensively and on the offensive attack, but failed to score. Normally, HCFC is the more aggressive side, but the Athletics were equal to the task. The game ended in a 0-0 draw, with the play being even throughout the match. The Athletics displayed some excellent passing and

Oceanside scored on a very unlucky bounce, but the Athletics answered back with a penalty kick goal to even the score, ending in a 1-1 draw. Finally, on Oct. 25, the girls travelled to Comox for their latest game. The girls again were strong and carried the play, with the game ending in another 0-0 draw. Next game action is Nov. 1, at home versus HCFC. OFFSIDES...The Athletics thank the Coulson Group and RE/MAX for their support and welcome their newest sponsor, Mountain View Bakery.

What does ‘local’ mean to growers? From / A3
“But it’s a drop in the proverbial bucket compared to what Walmart and Save-on Foods and Buy-Low and Fairway and Quality Foods are selling.” Part of that is economics. “People tend, for very good reasons, to buy food where it’s cheapest,” Schubart said. “My general impression is that there is a lot less cooking going on in most households than there was 50 years ago,” he said. “Most of the local produce is primary material that needs to be transformed in the kitchen whereas if you go into the supermarket you can buy lasagna and pizza and Chinese vegetable bowls you can put into your microwave

oven.” The solution— getting people to eat local food—will be a hard sell, said Schubart. “In economic terms it’s very hard to do something locally other than change people’s mind sets,” he said. “Changing mind sets is a very arduous process.” Part of the process is education. “People don’t realize that they’re paying the subsidies that they’re paying to fuel companies and agriculture companies.” The future of local food in the Valley is uncertain for now. “Who knows if we’re going to come to a crisis or whether we’ll be able to carry on as we’re doing right now.”

Pumpkin carving takes over Rollin on Halloween Arts Around
Saturday, Oct. 31, Halloween, will be the perfect day to spend at the Rollin Art Centre for their pumpkin carving contest. This family friendly event begins at 11 am outside on the terrace, where you will pick a pumpkin and begin carving. Cost is $5 to register each pumpkin. If you can’t make the day of carving, you can take it home to carve…but don’t forget to bring it back for the light up and possibly win a prize and ribbon in your age group. At 4 pm the gardens will be a maze of lit jack-o-lanterns. Vote as many times as you like for your favourite carved pumpkin, at $2 each vote; Proceeds going towards BC Children’s Hospital and future children’s programing. Some carving tools will be on hand, but if you have your favourite tool, please bring it along. First place winners in each category will receive a special gift from Deborah Kruks of South Hill Designs, as well as ribbons awarded for first, second and third placings.
Still Moving at the Rollin
“Still Moving” is the title of our current art exhibit at the Rollin Art Centre. This exhibit showcases the works of Meaghan Stouck and Marilyn Ridsdale. In oils and acrylic, this exhibit is full of life and promises to pull you in to the paintings on display. Meaghan is softer and is more fluid with her brushstrokes while Marilyn has a stronger sense of brushstroke. Both artists capture the moment, and colour is the key, from arbutus trees to birds.

Karen will be doing some readings, possibly from both books. Karen will also be giving away a signed copy of Ronald and Donald to the first three children (one per family) seven

◆ ENTERTAINMENT
Patsy Cline to grace Capitol Theatre stage the role of Patsy Cline. “We are so lucky to have found Kerri,” said Peter Wienold, director of the show. “Kerri brings an emotional depth of character to the part that truly resonates with people. She’s going to be a real crowd pleaser.” Backing Shannon up is a harmonious quartet of singers, including Marina Connah, Mike Villette, Brent Ronning, and vocal director Colleen Noiles Brooks — whose husband Craig Brooks plays the part of radio DJ Little Big Man, along with some comic relief. It’s Little Big Man’s radio program, a tribute to Patsy Cline’s music, that takes us
through the journey of the show. A five-piece band brings the music together, including all of the well-known Patsy Cline hits. The band features musical director and lead guitarist Dennis Olsen, fiddle player Anna Lewis, Guy Langlois on stand-up bass, Rick Smith on drums, and pianist William Frew. “This production has been months in the making,” Wienold said. “The team has worked incredibly hard since the summer to put on another professionallevel show in our community theatre. Local and visiting audiences will be wellentertained, and many
are likely to return for another listen.” Co-director is local musician Denis Levasseur. Denis’ wife, Suzanne, is the show’s producer. Costuming has been deftly handled by Heather Maloney and Marina Connah, while lighting design is being expertly crafted by Diena Tyne. In the background, stage manager Terry Switzer makes sure everyone stays in line and on track with his stage crew team. “A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline” runs the first three weekends of November on Friday and Saturday nights, starting Nov. 6. There are also two Sunday matinees, on Nov. 15 and 22.
