Rush for care as school strike looms RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Teachers are walking off the job and that has parents questioning what to do with their kids. The North Okanagan-Shuswap and Vernon school districts have been served with strike notice by educators for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. “Most parents will have the basic issue of finding child care for their children,” said Nicole Makohoniuk, president of the Vernon District Parents Advisory Council. Principals and vice-principals will be at schools but their duties will be limited. “We request that parents keep their children home for the three days,” said Bev Rundell, Vernon School District superintendent. “There will be no instruction but we would have to supervise them (students who show up) in some way.” There will also be no busing for the three days. A similar scenario is unfolding in the North Okanagan-Shuswap School District. “We are advising parents to make alternate arrangements for the care of their children as we will be unable to provide students with instruction or appropriate supervision and school buses will not be running” said Dave Witt. Parents in both districts will be updated of developments through automated phone systems, the media and district websites. A letter is going home to parents in both areas.

iving in families, though traditional and almost universal on this evolving planet, is experiencing an unplanned but effective attack, according to a new book. Author Eric Klinenberg, professor of sociology at New York University, sees lessons to be learned. He sums them up in his subtitle: The Extraordinary Rise and Surprising Appeal of Living Alone. What good is living alone? Isolate yourself from all your friends? No wife? No husband? No mother? And all that laundry to do? Babies? Maybe, later. Henry David Thoreau tried it in the mid-1800s, when he was still in his twenties. The result was Walden, a book about living alone in the woods a high point in American literature.

Going Solo (The Penguin Press), by Eric Klinenberg

I never found the companion so companionable as solitude, he wrote. One of four siblings himself, he died unmarried, at 44. Biographers record one proposal rejected to a young woman.
