he North Okanagan is being acclaimed for cranking out some of the best biking trails. Pinkbike, a mountain biking website, recently featured Vernon’s trails for its “spectacular riding for all levels.” Pairing up with the North Okanagan Cycling Society, local photographer Robb Thompson covered pinkbike’s experience in the area and put together a photo epic, capturing the thrill of local rides for its website. “North Okanagan is an untapped gem of rapidly expanding trail networks that you will want to experience,” reads Thompson’s review. NOCS is stoked by the purely positive review, wicked photos and exposure. “That pinkbike article was great,” said Matt Ball, NOCS vice president. “They are becoming the preferred method of getting bike information for riders so having an article about our trails is great as it will surely drive some people to our trails.” Among the regions covered were the Coldstream valley, “home to some of the best single track in the North Okanagan, found in Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park,” said Thompson, adding: “When planning your ride it’s always important to factor in time to enjoy the views.” Another key trail network is Ellison Provincial Park. “With numerous trails at an easy and intermediate level, it’s a perfect place to get your flow on before a dip in the lake.” They also hit up Sovereign Lake and Silver Star Mountain Resort.

Cruisin’ on lower Ellison trails gives Noah Brousseau great views of Okanagan Lake. “Vernon has a long history of mountain biking, but has been often overlooked by travelers passing through on their way to larger destinations,” reads the review. “Recent trail expansion and the growing popularity of the Silver Star Bike Park have given riders a reason to stay and experience the local trails.” Silver Star was also made #2 in the top summer ski hill picks (across Canada) in WestJet magazine. “Mountain biking is really taking off in the area,” said Ball, noting Cam Sorenson from the Silver Star Bike Park and his crew who have been doing a great job building cross country and downhill trails, including an epic trail currently being worked on. “We should see a big draw to the area from mountain biking in the next couple of years.”

The pinkbike article also notes the growth of NOCS over the past few years – it has more than quadrupled its membership. “With over 100 trails, including Silver Star, there are styles and difficulties of trail for everyone from beginner to expert,” the review reads of the four main zones (Kalamalka, Ellison, Sovereign and Silver Star) which are all 20 minutes from downtown Vernon. NOCS is a local mountain biking group that maintains and builds trails, and it advocates for the biking community, organizes group rides, and runs programs (sprockids, Trail Ninjas) for the mountain biking community in Vernon. “We have grown over the last three years from a relatively small club of 80 people to a club approaching 600 members this year,” said Ball. “Vernon is becoming a mountain biking destination. We are just surpassing 200 kilometres of trails in the area between all the parks and Silver Star Resort.” Group rides are becoming quite popular with 40 to 80 people coming out Thursdays for $2 rides (member cost). NOCS hosted two major bike events this year, with both B.C. Enduro Series and Singletrack6 hosting two events each on the local trails. “We also have some local riders that are starting to make a name for themselves in mountain biking circles,” said Ball.

Hundreds run for Terry Fox RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

LISA MASUREK/MORNING STAR

Vernon Mayor Akbal Mund (above) kicks off the 35th anniversary of the Terry Fox Run Sunday morning at Marshall Field. The event drew 362 participants. Cancer survivor Consie Severson (below, left) leads the warm up. Willow Broome (bottom right, from left) Jade Smith, Griffin Smith and Rowan Broome are ready to ride.

North Okanagan residents hit the road in the fight against cancer. The 35th annual Terry Fox Run in Vernon Sunday attracted 362 participants and more than $13,000 was raised. “We are so excited,” said Courtney Penrose, event organizer with Tanya Davoren, adding that there were a number of reasons why people laced up their shoes and got involved. “Most people know someone who has had cancer and of course Terry Fox is a national icon.” While the Terry Fox Run has been a fixture in Vernon for decades, there was a new venue this year. It started at Marshall Field, and the route included Okanagan Landing to Kin Beach and then Lakeshore Road. “We only heard good things about the course,” said Penrose. “Everyone said it was really well marked. There were lots of rollerbladers, walkers, cyclists and strollers.” Behind the scenes, 79 volunteers rolled up their sleeves and made sure the event was a success. “It would be impossible to do this without the volunteers and the community,” said Penrose.

Books flying off the shelf at Oyama library RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

It’s the little library that could. While it’s been on the chopping block over the years, Okanagan Regional Library’s Oyama branch has experienced significant growth. “It’s great to see the facility being used so much,” said Owen Dickie, an ORL director and Lake Country councillor. Circulation of items from the Oyama branch went from 6,341 in 2013 to 7,423 in 2014, a 17.06 per cent increase. “No other branch came anywhere close to that large of an increase. In fact many decreased,” said Dickie. For the same time

period, circulation at the Lake Country (Winfield) branch inched up by 0.77 per cent, while it was down 7.67 per cent in Vernon and 5.07 per cent at the main Kelowna branch. Dickie believes a couple of factors have kept the Oyama branch bustling. “There is a change in the population in Oyama, with younger families living here,” he said. “The programs are also attracting chil-

Flyboarding record attempt on Kal Lake Morning Star Staff

There will be a high-flying attempt to break a record on Kalamalka Lake. Michael Prince’s professional flyboarding team will attempt to break a record today and Thursday for the most flyboards on Canadian water. “We will have more than just flyboards but a handful of what are now being called hydroflight devices (jetpack, hoverboard),” said Prince. A flyboard attaches to a personal watercraft and it provides propulsion through the air and water. “This whole occasion is being professionally filmed and all of the athletes are professionals as well so it will be a very spectacular event,” said Prince. Beyond this, seven flyboarders are trying to make it to the World Cup in Dubai this year. “We are all currently looking for sponsorships to help fund this trip so we can make Canada proud by representing it in December,” said Prince.

dren and families to the branch. Oyama has also always been a library town.” In previous years, some ORL staff and politicians have suggested closing the Oyama branch because of its small size and proximity to branches in Winfield, Vernon and Kelowna. However, Dickie says the recent circulation figures put him in a strong position to lobby for ongoing service in Oyama.

“It’s had a library going back a number of years and it’s part of the social fabric of the community. I hope people will sit back and realize there is a demand,” he said. “Way to go Oyama. We need to use it or we will lose it so let’s see another increase this year.” Circulation figures have been released for all of ORL’s 29 branches. “We changed the integrated library system program in October 2014 and this created some hiccups with tracking, so we recognize comparing the 2013 and 2014 year is not necessarily a case of apples to apples when extrapolating numbers from the catalogue,”

said Marla O’Brien, public relations manager. “That said, we know there has been a slight decrease in circulation of physical materials during the two-year comparison.” Overall ORL circulation went from 3,202, 963 in 2013 to 3,090,479 in 2014, or down 3.51 per cent. “We believe Vernon’s decrease in circulation is more pronounced than it should be due to the flood that occurred there in early 2014,” said O’Brien. Elsewhere in the North Okanagan, 2014 circulation decreased 0.02 per cent in Armstrong, 7.56 per cent in Enderby, 21.94 per cent in Falkland,

“Sixty per cent of the surveys would like to see the big plan (extension),” said Nuriel, adding that there is 40 per cent support for development among those who are filling out the survey online. One resident did not select any of the options. “I don’t feel there is any need for this money to be spent on the airport,” said Dave Lowry, who lives nearby. “The small development that is being explained in option one seems to be a lot

of money spent on a few buildings that will only supply housing for a very few people and aircraft. The option that requires the extension of the runway seems to be a foolish idea as we have an international airport just 25 minutes down the road.” Nuriel says all of the input is being considered. “We will analyze the results and see what we will recommend as staff to council.” Information is at w w w.ver non.c a/ai rportmasterplan.

Officers seek store robbery suspect ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Vernon RCMP are looking for a man who robbed a convenience store early Sunday morning. Police were called to Mac’s Convenience Store on 27th Street at 4:30 a.m. “An unknown man in a ski mask entered the store and threatened the clerk with what appeared to be a can of bear spray,” said Vernon RCMP Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy. The suspect left the store on foot and with an undisclosed amount of money.

No one was injured during this incident, and Noseworthy said the clerk did the right thing by complying with the robber. “That money or whatever the person is after is not worth your life,” she said. “Just because they’re showing you something doesn’t mean they don’t have something else in their pockets or won’t cause you harm. At the end of the day, it’s just property. It’s not worth you.” Anybody with any information on the crime is asked to call the Vernon RCMP at 250-545-7171, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Work ethic instilled early in Arnold Editor’s Note: This is the first in a series of profiles featuring the North Okanagan-Shuswap federal candidates. MARTHA WICKETT Black Press

Serious and hardworking are two words Mel Arnold uses to describe himself. Raised on a farm in Notch Hill, Arnold learned the work ethic early. It’s an attribute that served him well in business, as it led to his first job out of high school when one of his teachers hired him for boat building. That’s a line of work that stuck. Arnold, who is running for the Conservative Party in North OkanaganShuswap, has operated his Complete Marine Detailing business for 26 years. “I built that from the ground up – I’m not so much hands on any more. Through that I’ve learned the importance of balanced budgets and planning ahead for possible hard times. And how to make wise investments in the future growth.” Arnold and his high school sweetheart Linda have been married for 36 years. “My wife and I are both proud to be lifetime residents,” he says. Pe rs ona l it y - w is e, Arnold describes himself as “a listener, very much approachable.

CANADA VOTES2015

Serious. More on the serious side than on the fun-loving side.” Arnold’s background includes volunteering, with two terms as president of the BC Wildlilfe Federation and six years as chair of governance with the Canadian Wildlife Federation. Asked about his passions, the outdoors tops the list. “I like to enjoy the outdoors any time I can. Hunting and fishing are my favourite passions but anytime I can be outdoors. And, oddly enough, governance is a passion. That’s why I was chair with the Canadian Wildlife Federation…,” he said. “It has been a sideline passion until now. It’s no longer a sideline.” Asked if he has trouble reconciling his love of the outdoors with the Conservative government’s much-criticized performance on the environment, he says: “My past roles have been as a conservationist, not a preservationist. I believe in the wise use of resources. The Conservatives have been very supportive of environmental issues. In fact last year, there was $52 million for the

conservation plan. That will go towards protecting sensitive areas and programs aimed at conservation of natural resources.” Regarding potential pipeline spills, he says, “With 21st century technology, I think the risks are reasonable, especially compared with the risks in rail disasters, like LacMégantic.” As for international criticism of Canada’s position regarding climate change and the Kyoto Accord, he says: “The agreement may have been overambitious in light that Canada produces only two per cent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. It’s very difficult to reduce those emissions when they’re already at a low level.” Another issue the prime minister has received ongoing criticism about has revolved around muzzling dissent and open discussion, as well as potential assaults on privacy such as Bill C51. “Most of the powers in that bill existed already,” says Arnold. “The change is, it will allow different authorities to share informa-

EVAN BUHLER/BLACK PRESS

Conservative candidate Mel Arnold was raised on a farm in Notch Hill, where he says he learned how to roll up his sleeves and work hard. tion… about risks to the safety of Canadians, especially here at home.” The three issues Arnold says he has in his sights are: families sustaining jobs here at home; infrastructure and the highway system; and advocating on behalf of seniors. Arnold says he believes he would have a voice in Ottawa, were he elected. “Yes, I’m a team player, a team builder; my previous roles have prepared me for how to bring people on board with your ideas.” He said he’s confident Stephen Harper would listen to him. “Caucus is a very open system.”

Public vs. private

kbal Mund was extremely gracious last week as the media questioned him over allegations that he failed to comply with the Income Tax Act. In a past life, the situation wouldn’t have garnered headlines, but that all changed last November when Mund was elected mayor of Vernon. Acknowledging that the media has a job to do, he was as open as he could be given legal proceedings are underway. He returned phone calls and didn’t go into hiding. But not everyone was so understanding. No sooner did reports come out about Mund’s encounter with the taxman and people began to Richard Rolke react. “People are so quick to judge. He doesn’t owe anything, he was just late filing his tax form a couple of years ago. Give him a break,” said one resident on Facebook. Some took direct aim at the media for the coverage. “I am really disappointed with The Morning Star for putting this on the front page. Akbal Mund has done incredible things for the city and this does not warrant attention - especially in the paper and on the front page no less,” said another Facebook writer. “They should feel really ashamed and I resent the person who made the decision to make it news.” However, others came to the defence of the media. “He has chosen to be a public representative, who under oath, has agreed to represent the City of Vernon. He put himself in this place,” said another Facebook comment. “I am not agreeing or disagreeing on the validity of this news story. It simply is a fact,

which the local media has discovered.” Now, there’s no question that the media, including myself, needs to be accountable for its actions and what we choose to elevate to the status of being newsworthy. Making that judgement call is challenging, particularly when dealing with individuals in elected office. Where does their public profile end and their private life start? It’s a question I wrestle with given that reporters also develop a public identity. Whether right or wrong, the rule of thumb generally is that separating public and private life is impossible. People are elected largely because of who they are as an individual. Something that appears to be out of character comes as a surprise, such as a premier being arrested for impaired driving while on a vacation. Business and community experience is presented as an asset while out on the campaign trail, which sets an expectation among voters. What if the media didn’t report on such legal cases? We would be accused of using our personal relationships with politicians (and those do exist after spending years together) to cover things up. Or, there would be suggestions that we’re asleep at the wheel and don’t actually know what’s going on in the community. Both of those scenarios unfolded when an actual scandal involving tax dollars enveloped Vernon city hall years ago. The bottom line to remember at this point is that Mund is only facing allegations, nothing has been proven in court and the case does not involve tax dollars or his role as mayor. For us in the media, we will continue to debate what should be news and hopefully we will act as fairly as possible. But in the end, our role is to provide information. What is done with those details in terms of forming opinions, is ultimately up to you.

News that Green Party leader Elizabeth May would use Twitter to participate, in real time, in a federal leaders debate on the economy – an event she wasn’t invited to – got us thinking about how technology has drastically changed the way people communicate. Using various forms of social media for political reasons is only one way people have used these and other tools to reach the masses. We’ve seen charitable organizations undertake fundraising campaigns to tap into the multitudes of people online at any given time. In a similar vein, individuals raising money for all manner of ventures, both business and personal, have achieved success through crowdfunding. Both of those examples illustrate a broadening of the conversation around whatever cause for which the funds are being raised. From a news perspective, social media has given us a larger window on the world, as people post alternative-sourced stories rather than solely relying on our traditional outlets. On a more personal level, students overseas are easily able to take university level courses, thus participating in a global learning environment. We were struck at how China-based alumni from Royal Roads University, many of whom had never been to the B.C. campus, enjoyed face-to-face discussions with local grads during the global alumni weekend. Drilling down further, people have been using such software as Facetime on iPhones, or Skype through their computers or phones – military families are frequent users – to bridge the miles. May’s example is the latest to show how technology has allowed us all to “crash the party” without even being there. — Goldstream News Gazette

Water rates spark a question

magine the following. You show up to a gas station to fill your van with gas, and as you start to fill up you notice that the starting point on the pump is $50. You quickly stop pumping and ask the attendant why the price is not starting at zero. He states that this is a base fee, which covers the cost of getting the fuel to your vehicle. You are a little upset but decide to fill up anyway, as the price per litre doesn't look that bad. After 20 litres, however, you notice a sharp increase on the pump. You stop again and ask why the price just jumped. The attendant says that you are now

in tier two, so the price goes up. He warns you to try and avoid tiers three and four. This is to encourage you to use less gas. Unfortunately since you have a large family, you need the van. So because of the tier system, although you will use less fuel per person than a single occupancy smart car to move from point A to point B, you will pay on average more per litre. He also mentions that even though their fuel tanks are at normal operating levels for this time of year, they are only allowing their customers to drive three days per week to reduce fuel consumption. When you ask why, he says that you

IMPORTANT FORUM On Thursday, there will be an all candidates forum at the Schubert Centre. However, it is very disappointing that Mel Arnold, from the Conservative Party, will not be attending. The Sustainable Environment Network Society has put on many all candidate forums for a number of years before elections and they are usually very well attended by both the public and all of the candidates. Many people rely on the forums to be informed about the issues and views of all of the politicians. It is a good advantage for the candidates to be at the forums to express their views. The forum Thursday is also different from the other forums because the candidates were sent the questions in advance. Anyone from the public can view the questions and answers and three of the four candidates have already sent in their answers to the excellent questions. The candidates who spent a lot of time and energy answering these questions were from the Green Party, the Liberal Party and the NDP. Mel Arnold, so far, has not sent in any answers. In this year's federal election, the environment is rated as the second most important issue. The number one issue, the economy, is actually in some ways related to the environment. Solutions to reduce greenhouse gases, such as alternative energy, pure electric vehicles and organic food production, will create more jobs than the oil and gas sector. The Globe and Mail Sept. 3 reported a study that 47 per cent of the oil patch jobs will be automated soon. A presentation made at the Vernon library by the B.C. Sustainable Energy Association mentioned that in the U.S., the solar industry is

never know if there will be a good supply in the future. As you hop in your van to leave, you hear that annoying commercial again. "Don't drive, let it sit." This is the annual campaign telling you that Okanagan motorists are the biggest fuel wasters in the country and should just stop driving. Following the commercial is a news break with the top story being that the base price for gas is set to surge next year because people aren't using enough gas to cover costs. Now stop imagining. If you wouldn't accept this for fuel, why are we accepting it for water? Joel van der Molen

producing 10 times more new jobs than any other industry. On the cost side, we need to reduce damage by extreme weather events caused by global warming. The Canadian National Roundtable on the Environment and the Economy states that we will pay $5 billion per year for climate change damages with taxpayers' money by 2020 if we do not reverse climate change. Our health care system will also have high costs from poor air quality. Greening of economies is not a burden on growth but rather a new engine for growth and employment. Terry Dyck GREAT CARE I was visiting my aunt and had to use the Vernon Jubilee Hospital emergency department. All I can say is that you could not ask for better promptness to my problem and excellent care from the doctors, nurses and right on to the receptionists. A big thank you. Sean McFaul MAKING A DIFFERENCE I am writing in connection to the article titled; Longtime executive director Meyer moves on, by The Morning Star. I agree with Tania Meyer, and I take pride in her contributions and what we do to make a difference in our community we serve. As leaders in a non-for-profit organization, we take challenges and I am writing to share with you that this is what prompted me to get involved with not-for-profit organizations. First and foremost, I want to make a difference. Actually, I don't want to miss a chance to affect our world in a very real positive way.

Not-for-profit organizations do the work that others can't or won't do, with more passion, drive and dedication than anyone else could do. Therefore, congratulations to Tania Meyer for what she did for all of that time and wishing her all the best for her new endeavors in China. Bertha Edwards, Abbeyfield Houses of Vernon board member YOUR VOTE COUNTS Picking up on Kristin Froneman's column about the importance of voting, this is a true story about what happened when I failed to vote. I belong to a professional organization and there was a recent election for president. One of the two candidates was a very controversial person who would have taken the organization in a very different direction. In the past, I have always voted even though retired, as is my right. I chose not to vote and the candidate mentioned won by one vote. Thankfully there was a second voting round and the controversial candidate was soundly defeated when those who had been apathetic were mobilized to vote. In our current federal election, all three nongoverning parties have said they will change our voting system to a more representative one such as proportional representation. It is a much fairer way of voting and where your vote truly does count. Canada is in a minority of countries that still continue with the less fair system of first past the post (simple majority). So please vote in our upcoming federal election. You still matter. David M. Kennedy

Two people were taken into custody after an allegedly stolen vehicle was stopped by an RCMP spike belt near Westwold Monday. The incident happened at around 2:30 p.m. “We received a report of a vehicle on Crown land near Falkland not really moving, and the complainant gave us the licence plate number,” said VernonNorth Okanagan RCMP Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy. “The plate came back as a vehicle stolen out of Summerland.” An RCMP helicopter happened to be in the area so it went to have a look for the vehicle, which was found to be mobile and being driven in a dangerous manner, said Noseworthy. A road block with spike belt was set up on Highway 97 near Westwold and the suspect vehicle went over the belt. “The vehicle was spiked, and it ended up going off the road and it flipped,” said Noseworthy. The two occupants of the vehicle – a 30-year-old man and 34-year-old woman – were not injured. They were arrested and remain in custody. Charges have yet to be forwarded to Crown counsel as the matter remains under investigation. Traffic was stopped on the highway in both directions as police conducted the road block.

The Tea Party goes back to The Bazaar Canadian band brings its tour on the 20th anniversary of iconic album, The Edges of Twilight, to Vernon Tuesday Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

To a Canadian, it’s usually impolite to ask anyone such overtly personal questions, such as asking a woman if she is pregnant, especially when she’s not. Awkward! The same good manners should be applied when asking questions of a band who have been around for more than two decades. Nothing bristles more than hearing a query such as, “Where have you been all these years?” especially when you’ve been here, making music, the whole time. That’s been the case with The Tea Party (the Canadian band and not the U.S. right wing political movement). “It’s like you’re reading our merchandiser’s mind,” said Tea Party percussionist/drummer Jeff Burrows, when asked if the band gets asked that question. “We recently drove from London to Toronto and he said ‘I should have a video camera at my table to record how many times I was asked that question.’ But after buying our CDs, the response is usually, ‘this is amazing.’” For the record: Yes, The Tea Party is still together. They’re still making music that saw them through the ‘90s. And yes, they’re still that progressive rock band that uses exotic instrumentation and has a lead singer (Jeff Martin) who looks and sounds like Jim Morrison reincarnate. So why go back to an album you released 20 years ago, re-release it, and then tour the country, playing all the songs off said album live for a 2015 audience, as The Tea Party

the tea Party’s stuart Chatwood, Jeff martin and Jeff Burrows never left the building and are touring on the 20th anniversary of their iconic album, The Edges of Twilight. will do when the band arrives in Vernon Tuesday? Burrows has a simple explanation. “We’re all working musicians, and we still get together to write music and although we are familiar with all our songs live, we hadn’t played all the ones off The Edges of Twilight in a long time,” he said. “It seemed strange that you wouldn’t go out and celebrate something you created, and we know from (the album’s) sales that people enjoyed it. We averted the sophomore jinx.” The Canadian leg of The Edges of Twilight tour opened Sept. 4 in the band’s hometown of Windsor, Ont. to a full house of fans - actually, it was more fans that were needed, said Burrows, explaining, “It was cool in one sense, but hot in another as the air conditioning was broken and because of the moisture coming off the Great Lakes, the humidex levels were at 44 C. Inside with the lights, it felt

about 48 C,” he said, adding the band has been pleased about the support they have been receiving since announcing the tour. “It’s been great and a little strange. At one show, in the front row, there were these parents with their six- and seven-year-old kids and then there are some people out there that are my age with their 18-year-olds.” Twenty years may not seem like a long time for those on the rock band longevity list. For The Rolling Stones, Rush or U2, two decades must feel like yesterday. But consider this: in 1995, Syria was in peace talks with Israel, the Quebec separation referendum was narrowly defeated, and O.J. Simpson was found innocent. It’s also the year The Edges of Twilight reached double platinum status (200,000 sales) in Canada and earned the band several Juno nominations, including Best Rock Album and Group of the Year.

Actually the band’s third studio album, The Edges of Twilight, was a culmination of ideas between the band’s members and was primarily written in their hometown of Windsor, which Burrows describes as ironic as it contained so many worldly influences. Now based in Toronto, Burrows says revisiting The Edges of Twilight brought back many memories for him and fellow band members, lead singer/guitarist Martin (who now lives in the artsy community of Byron Bay, Australia) and keyboardist/bassist Stuart Chatwood (based in Vancouver). The band went down to L.A. to record the album, which Burrows describes as a mind blowing experience. “When you’re that young and you’re recording in L.A. in the same studio that The Stones had vacated just before you and Neil Young was recording (his album) Mirrorball down the hall, and Alice

in Chains were there also... We were just thinking of how to pay our bills. We did not have rock status in Canada then,” said Burrows. What made The Tea Party stand out was the accumulation of instruments the band collected on its travels. Sounds such as the sarod, harp guitar, hurdy-gurdy, harmonium and African percussion were all put to use on the recording of The Edges of Twilight. “At the time, we were listening to Dead Can Dance and Peter Gabriel’s Real World. If we weren’t using an exotic string instrument like the hurdy-gurdy, we were often exploring a different way of writing a song; not just verse, chorus, verse, chorus,” said Burrows, adding, “They were not exactly radio hits.” Each instrument also comes with its own story. “I remember when we were shooting the video for The Bazaar in Budapest, Jeff was at a market and picked up a saz, which is like a bouzouki, and the guy selling it said to him, ‘that one is made from Canadian spruce,’” said Burrows. “I also had a djembe, which came from South Africa, and termites had eaten through the box and drum.” The band still seeks out exotic instruments. Martin is heading to Morocco in October, and Burrows expects his bandmate will be shipping some new finds back to him. The Tea Party shall likely be playing some of those new instruments when it re-enters the studio to record its next album. “We started writing it in February and we were planning it before the tour when Jeff came home to visit his family (in Ontario). We are planning to write part of it in Australia and will be there again in November to continue the tour,” said Burrows.

Arts Ceramics artist to give talk at VCAC Morning Star Staff

Those who have recently visited the Vernon Community Arts Centre have likely seen Gabrielle Strong forming fantastical clay shapes on the potter’s wheel. Strong has been working in the VCAC ceramics studio for the past four months as the CeramAiR (artist in residence). The residency is a pilot project and new initiative of the Caetani Cultural Centre in partnership with the Arts Council of the North Okanagan, which operates the VCAC. “Strong has made use of the great ceramics facilities at the arts

centre and has given a workshop in painting,” said Susan Brandoli, Caetani Cultural Centre manager. Working both in painting and ceramics, Strong is a recent graduate of Emily Carr University of Art and Design and is making her home base in the North Okanagan. “Having spent five years at sea, Strong is coming to the Okanagan to reconnect to the land, to search for the same kind of connection she has cultivated to water and reflections,” said Brandoli.

Support Vertigo with a fabulous fake Morning Star Staff

Artists with an inner Van Gogh or a Matisse just waiting to burst out onto a canvas now have the chance to get creative. The North Okanagan Artists Alternative and Gallery Vertigo invite all artists to participate in their open entry fundraising exhibition, Almost Famous. “We are reaching out to the community to donate their own created ver- Painting by ian guerney sions of famous A version of Van historical mas- Gogh’s Sunflowers. terpieces,� said Gallery Vertigo director Trista Bassett. All mediums will be accepted (painting, sculpture, photography, etc). Artists may re-create precisely, put their own spin on it, or create a version similar to the original, but in a different medium (for example re-creating a stained glass piece in acrylic paint). All art pieces will be displayed at Gallery Vertigo for viewing to the

public for up to a month prior to the event. “We hope that people will come in and enjoy looking at the many fabulous fakes and choose their favourites to bid on during our fundraiser,� said Bassett. The main event will combine a silent auction, and live auction, in a evening of art, live music, food and drink. All artwork will be auctioned off to raise funds in support of Gallery Vertigo exhibitions and programming. “We also have two great bands this year, the Dreaded Naught and headliners Steel Wound, and this year we are sponsored, in part, by Red Truck Beer who are supplying craft beer for our event,� said Bassett. Deadline for submitting finished pieces is the end of October, and items will be on display at Gallery Vertigo from Nov. 3 to 28. The Almost Famous evening takes place Dec. 5 from 7 to 10 p.m. at the conference rooms above Century 21, located at 2907 32nd St. For more information contact galleryvertigo@gmail.com, facebook.com/ galleryvertigo or leave a message at 250-503-2297. www.prairiecoastequipment.com

Mark Ruffalo plays a dad on the brink tasked with raising his two daughters (Imogene Wolodarsky and Ashley Aufderheide), while their mother (Rosario Dawson) pursues a law degree in New York in Infinitely Polar Bear.

Complex family drama has a sweet side

For The Morning Star

The Vernon film Society’s second film of the fall season is Infinitely Polar Bear. This movie, which is based on a period in the life of director Maya Forbes, tells of a time in her childhood when her bipolar father was looking after both her and her sister while their mother attended university in New York.

In the film, the father, Cam (Mark Ruffalo), comes from a wealthy Boston family but struggles to keep his family afloat as his periods of mania mean his fathering skills leave a lot to be desired. He can be a very loving, exciting and fun dad to his two daughters, one of whom is played by Imogene Wolodarsky and is the real-life daughter of director Forbes and producer Wallace Wolodarsky. (Ashley Aufderheide plays the younger daughter). He spends one night sewing a flamenco costume for a school production, cooks elaborate meals, but leaves the girls to their own devices while he goes

WildMen opens in Lake Country Okanagan artists Jim Kalnin and Lucas Glenn come together in Lake Country Art Gallery’s latest exhibition, WildMen. In this exhibition, Kalnin investigates and challenges how we respond and interact with the natural world around us. Kalnin’s work consists of large semi-abstract acrylic and oil paintings along with a series of small watercolour paintings. He reaches into human cultures, religions, world views and ecological studies for thought and subject for his new series of paintings. Kalnin taught art for 22 years at Okanagan College, Okanagan University College and UBC Okanagan. Since retiring in 2009, he has rekindled his interests in making art, travelling and delving deeper into life’s great mysteries. Glenn’s installation, Goods for Men (Real Good Strong Men) looks at the media and consumerism in relation to male identity, and problematic attitudes associated with masculinity such as ego, patriarchy, and anthropocentrism. Glenn’s work brings together satire, pseudo-history, and humour. Glenn graduated from UBCO in 2015 with a focus on installation art and philosophy. WildMen is up at the Lake Country Art Gallery from Sept. 30 through to Nov. 14. An opening night reception takes place Sept. 30 from 6 to 8 p.m. Artists will be in attendance.

As Liam Lacey of The Globe and Mail states, “This is ultimately a feel-good movie with some poignant moments.” It gives an insight into how families cope with mental illness. Although Forbes lived through this, she shows how ultimately she survived and went on to a very successful career in TV and movie making. Infinitely Polar Bear screens at the Vernon Towne Cinema Monday at 5:15 and 7:45 p.m. All seats are $7, cash only. Tickets are available at the Bean Scene one week ahead as well as at the theatre. The film is rated PG for coarse language.

Built by Cornelius O’Keefe for his family in 1886, the mansion at O’Keefe Ranch is an interesting stop on a fall bike tour. Perhaps we’ll return in October for a ghost tour or to the Field of Screams when the corn maze becomes a very scary place. (www.o’keeferanch.ca ) We bike to St. Anne’s Road and continue north, veering right on Otter Lake Road to Larkin Cross Road. Turning right, the road winds through low land and crosses a creek before climbing up an old embankment. We pass tidy farms and turn off at Rogers Foods to visit its Bulk Food Store. What started in 1951 as a simple stone mill to provide flour to the Rogers family is now a thriving company that, along with a sister plant in Chilliwack, provides more than 457 tons of quality milled products to stores and baker-

ies across B.C. and Alberta. I scoop up bulk B.C.-grown dried cranberries, the sevengrain cereal and bulk almonds. After loading up our panier bags, we bike to the turn-around that puts us onto Highway 97A. For four km we pedal along an ample shoulder, the sound of the traffic reverberating through our bodies. We turn west onto Highway 97, returning to the Old Kamloops Road which takes us back towards 48th Avenue, clocking the ride at about 32 km. Moira McColl is a freelance writer and cycling enthusiast in Vernon who hopes to encourage locals and visitors alike to explore the North Okanagan on two wheels.

Program challenges youth to explore nature VANCOUVER — Students can become superheroes for the planet with a program launched Monday by the David Suzuki Foundation. The Back to School Superhero Challenge encourages young people — with encouragement from parents, grandparents, caregivers and educators — to spend time outside and learn about environmental responsibility. “Today’s children spend less time outdoors than any generation,” said project lead Harpreet Johal. “Young people are our future superheroes, so we need to make sure they’re well-equipped to protect our planet.” Those who join the challenge, at getbackoutside.ca, will receive a fun activity

and “superhero mission” every week for four weeks that will help teach them about pressing environmental issues and connect them to the great outdoors. Each activity has been adapted from the foundation’s free Connecting With Nature educational guides, available at getbackoutside.ca/#resources. “Numerous studies show that young people who spend time in nature every day are healthier, happier, more creative, less stressed and more alert than those who don’t,” Johal said. “Parents, grandparents, caregivers and educators have a responsibility to raise kids with healthy nature habits.” According to a David Suzuki Foundation survey, youth who spend time outside are 20 per cent more likely to take

part in outdoor programs or to explore nature on their own when they’re older. “Spending time in nature will also give young people some of their best childhood memories,” Johal said. Although the activities are adapted from the foundation’s educational guides from kindergarten through Grade 8, people of any age can participate, and teachers and students are encouraged to sign up their classes. By signing up, families and classrooms will automatically be entered to win a weekly prize. The foundation also encourages participants to stay connected on social media using the hashtag #SuzukiSuperhero. The challenge runs to Oct. 18.

Village Church pastor speaks in Vernon Morning Star Staff

Thanks to some staff initiative and divine intervention, Vernon Christian School Secondary students and the greater Vernon community will have the opportunity for a faceto-face encounter with Mark Clark from Village Church on Sept. 30. Village Church is one of the largest and fastest growing churches in Canada that began in 2010 with 50 people and currently ministers to more than 3,000 each weekend over two campuses. “It is also unique in that much of its growth is among the 18 to 30 age group, a demographic that most churches struggle to keep, let alone attract,” said Corinne Remple, director of communications and development for Vernon Christian School. “Mark Clark has the ability to connect truth and communicate across the spectrum of generations of churched, skep-

Village ChurCh photo

Mark Clark is pastor at Village Church in Surrey, and he’ll be speaking at Vernon Christian School Sept. 30. tic, unchurched, de -churched in an engaging yet non-compromising manner. “He is a passionate and lively speaker that will have you sitting up straight in your seat. This event will explore knowing and living life based on who we truly are — or could be in Christ.” Clark grew up in

Toronto and moved to Vancouver in 2004 to attend Regent College, where he received a master of New Testament studies. Following 10 years in ministry, he planted the Village Church in January 2010 in Surrey. Clark is also the author of Paul and the Gospel of God. He is passionate about con-

textualizing the gospel and seeing people transformed by Jesus Christ. He lives in South Surrey with his wife and their three daughters. “I have heard Mark speak on numerous occasions,” said Tricia Tiessen, VCS staff member. “I have been deeply challenged by many of his messages. “As parents of teens who are living in a culture that can be difficult to navigate, we have appreciated Mark’s ability to speak to the issues that affect many parents, in a straight yet biblical manner as well as being able to communicate that same message to our teens and reach them where they are at.” VCS secondary campus principal Matt Driediger said it’s a big deal to bring in a speaker of Clark’s calibre. “He had an opening in his schedule and was willing to fill it with time spent with our students during the day and into the eve-

ning with our greater community,” he said. “I have no doubt that he will challenge our views of what living to transform ourselves, family and friends and the world around us should look like.” Mark Clark Live is a free event that takes place Sept. 30 at 7 p.m. at Vernon Christian School. Because seating is limited, tickets must be reserved through

Eventbrite or through a link on the school’s website News/Calendar

page at www.vcs.ca. This event is ideal for ages 12 and up.

There is no den around the stairs that I am aware of.” A gopher snake can grow to nearly six-feet long, and while it does resemble a rattlesnake, it has a narrow head and a black eye on the head. If that eye is black, said Wise, “friend of Jack. If it’s eye of yellow, kill a fellow.” A rattlesnake has an oval pattern on its back,

he met up with what he thought was a large rattlesnake. Spooked by the snake, the boy moved to the side of the stairs and snapped a couple of pictures. “This is a great basin gopher snake,” said Pete Wise, owner/operator of Wise Wildlife Control Services, upon examination of the photos. “It’s a non-venomous species. We have lots of them in this part of the world.” A great basin gopher snake will curl up and hiss, which sounds exactly like a rattlesnake. They will also wiggle their tail very quickly, trying to mimic a rattler. Gopher snakes will strike out at humans and can bite, but they are non-venomous. “Gopher snakes are a grassland species and there are lots in the

white stripes near the tail and, of course, the rattles on the end of the tail. Wise said it’s important to remember that the gopher snake – like all snakes in B.C. – is a protected species. “It’s unlawful to kill them,” he said. “Give them space. They will move. Here in Vernon, I will act in support and, if need be, attend myself. Identification is the key. Send me a photo and, once identified, we will go from there.” If you should see a gopher snake on or beside the stairs, Wise said if you have a walking pole or stick you can move the snake off the trail. “Often the vibration from your foot fall is enough or tapping your stick on the ground,” he said.

Military policy debated TOM FLETCHER Black Press

A rundown navy, aging fighter jets and closing of dedicated Veterans’ Affairs offices are playing a central role in the campaign for the Oct. 19 federal election. The Conservative government has been in a running battle with the Public Service Alliance of Canada over the closure of nine regional Veterans Affairs offices, including those located in Prince George and Kelowna. The union ran television ads with veterans describing difficulty getting mental and physical health support. Veterans’ Affairs Minister Erin O’Toole wrote to PSAC national president Robyn Benson in July, calling the ads “intentionally misleading.” He said the government is opening 27 dedicated mental health clinics, training staff on veterans programs in integrated Service Canada offices, and continuing to spend more on support for veterans as their numbers decline. NDP leader Thomas Mulcair promises to reopen the nine dedicated offices, and add $454 million over four years to Veterans Affairs. The NDP says the money would go to improving long-term care, survivor pensions, mental health treatment and expansion of the program to support veterans in their homes. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has announced that if he becomes prime minister, he will pull Canada out of the development of the U.S.-led F-35 fighter project, which has been plagued by delays and cost overruns. Trudeau said the F-35’s stealth, firststrike abilities are not what Canada needs, and other fighters would serve Canada’s purposes at lower cost. Conservative leader

Stephen Harper noted it was the previous Liberal government that committed Canada to join Australia, Britain and other countries in supporting the F-35, and withdrawing would be a severe blow to the country’s aerospace industry. With six of the Royal Canadian Airforce’s 30-year-old CF-18 fighter-bombers taking part in a U.S.-led mission against Islamic State targets in Iraq and Syria, the Liberals and the New Democrats are calling for Canada to focus on humanitarian relief instead of a combat role. The Royal Canadian Navy, another traditional name restored by the Conservatives, is awaiting new ships from the Conservatives’ $26 billion shipbuilding program, Canada’s largest ever. Some contracts have been awarded to Seaspan, B.C.’s largest

shipyard. HMCS Protecteur, the navy’s only West Coast supply ship, was decommissioned after a 2014 fire off Hawaii. Protecteur was built in Halifax 46 years ago, and is being temporar-

“We hope this gift challenges and inspires many students, as they hone their skills and work towards careers as professional aviators.” Adding to Carson Air’s support, the purchase of the new simulator was also made possible by a donation of $25,000 from ROV Consulting, a structural engineering firm. “It has been wonderful to watch the diversification in programming at Okanagan College over the years,” said Richard Visscher, ROV president. In 25 years, the college’s Kevin Carson commercial aviation diploma program has graduated 312 pilots. In addition to the financial contribution, Visscher also plans to work with the college to share his flight knowledge and experience by mentoring students in the simulator. “Having quality training available to our students locally, from my own field of engineering to business to commercial aviation and so many others, means so much for our regional economy,” he said. The simulator is expected to be installed and in use by students by next September.

Price Day was another success. The annual fundraiser at 7-Eleven Canada generated $109,900 nationally for Food Banks Canada, supporting local food banks. “Slurpee fans have once again demonstrated their commitment to a worthy cause,” says Raj Kapoor, 7-Eleven vicepresident. “We’re pleased to be able to help Slurpee fans significantly support those in need in our communities.” Participating in the fundraiser were the 7-Eleven stores in the North Okanagan. The $109,900 donation is equal to providing Canadians in need with 330,000 meals. “We’d like to take this opportunity to thank our loyal customers for being so generous,” said Kapoor.

Kal Tire use extra time for glory The Mailman delivers winner Morning Star Staff

They hired a bus and driver in hopes of celebrating the Kelowna Tree Brewing Men’s 35+ Soccer League playoff championship Sunday at Mission Sports Field #14. Turned out to be an intelligent plan as Vernon Kal Tire brushed back Alves Bros. of Kelowna 4-3 in extra time in the thrilling final. Winger Jeff Nice, known as The Mailman to his teammates, swiped the ball 10 minutes into the second 15-minute session and finished with a sweet shot past Wayne Logan. The first 15 went by scoreless with Ryan Sharp of Vernon hammering a free kick that wrung off both posts before being cleared. “The game was tight (as tight as 4-3 final could be) but we had confidence in the knowledge that Alves hadn’t beaten us year and we had trust that our key guys would deliver,” said winger Rodney Goodchild. “Even when we went behind we didn’t panic – just kept going. “The Mailman had a great game – but everyone did. Even Mark Budgen stood on his head in goal.” The Tiremen took the regular-season crown at 15-3-3, while Alves Bros. placed third at 10-7-4. Kal Tire opened the scoring when Nice nailed a shot that the Alves keeper mishandled, allowing Glenn Allan to run in for the easy tap-in. Alves came back with two, one on a corner that snuck through to the foot of a forward, and the next on a similar play from the wing into an Alves foot in the middle. Kal Tire came back just before half when Goodchild hit a corner that found the head of Geoff Straight, who found the back of the net over his 6-foot-5 check. In the second half, Darren Nobrega shielded a ball that went through to Allan, cruised in on a breakaway and buried with a left foot. Alves levelled the score about 10 minutes

later on another scramble off a corner. Jeremy Luypen, Dave Crawford and an own goal accounted for the Kelowna offence. With time dying in regulation, Budgen stopped a hard shot from the 18-yard box to keep the tie. Kal Tire receive bold defence from Sharp, Graeme Magee, Jason Beck, Tyler Johnson and Okanagan Spirits Man of the match Damian Adams, who kept league-leading scorer Morgan Marrs off the sheet. Johnson, Rod Valdevieso, Michael Arding, Jesse Knight and Tim McGowan also represented Kal Tire in the championship tilt.

Royals brush off Crusaders for volleyball gold Morning Star Staff

Big blocks, big kills, big serves, big rest. The Vernon Christian School Royals senior girls volleyball team used them all as they struck gold at the St. Ann’s Academy Crusaders tournament in Kamloops. After finishing third in pool play, the Royals rallied and bounced the host St. Ann’s Academy Crusaders in the Saturday final, 25-21 25-12. “We arrived at the tournament straight from a two-day

student retreat and played tired,” said Royals head coach Jason Reedyk. “After a good night’s sleep, we brought our game to a much higher level. The team showed so much improvement through the eight games.” Hannah Christensen led the charge with four service aces and five kills in the final while Rebecca VanderDeen also chipped in with two aces and five kills. Strong setting by Haley Witt allowed for a balanced attack

with great kills coming from Claire Oordt-Bosman, Anica Haberstock and Rachael Kroeker. The Royals jumped out to a 12-0 lead in the quarter finals versus the Chase Trojans on the back of strong serving from Christensen, winning 25-11, 25-5. In the semifinals, the Royals rolled the Clearwater Raiders 25-13, 25-16. The Royals head back to Kamloops this weekend for the Thompson Rivers University senior girls tournament.

“I just told them we have to better as a team more so than individuals and I asked what that meant and we came to the conclusion that we needed to be a better team. It’s not about individuals here.

Elite camp for locals Morning Star Staff

Sundance Taekwon-Do in Vernon hosted Canadian team head coach Chelsea Stone for an elite competition training camp. A total of 35 athletes from as far away as Montreal participated as they prepare for the upcoming International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF) North American and Caribbean Championships being held in Richmond in November. At least five national team members, including the club’s Kelly Kinniburgh, took advantage of the opportunity and trained alongside 30 other athletes and coaches working to better their skills and jumpstart the new tournament season. “We strive to bring our members the best opportunities to train and work toward the highest levels in our martial art and sport,” said David White, Sundance head instructor. Chelsea Stone holds a sixth-degree black belt and is an international instructor and examiner with the ITF. She is a 16-time national sparring champion and has competed at the international level since her first world championships in 2000. Teaching and training out of Regina, she is head coach for the Canadian team and also a coach for

the Saskatchewan team. “I was on an emotional high leaving the training camp mainly from the positive energy of the participants,” said Stone. “I appreciate the trust put in me by the athletes to help coach them and put them in the right direction.” Training consisted of three different sessions held over two days. Athletes worked on the latest technical updates for patterns competition, which has become very standardized under the new ITF competition rules. Athletes also worked on several drills designed to increase natural movement, core strength and agility. Traveling from Montreal was Richard Nguyen, a former national team member who was on the national coaching staff at the 2015 World Championships in Italy. “Training was fun, it was great to learn and spar with many different athletes,” said Nguyen. Sundance Taekwon-Do hopes to bring more training opportunities like this to its members. The local school will be sending a large team of 20 plus athletes to the upcoming championships.

Bosman run over Spirit Morning Star Staff

Bosman Accounting dispatched Rutland Spirit 4-0 in Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ Soccer League B side playoff action Monday night at Mission Sports Field #14 in Kelowna. Midway through the first half, forward Gerard Geelkerken was taken down just outside the 18. Erick Burnet curved a free kick around the wall in the low left corner for the 1-0 goal. Ten minutes later, James Cotter received a through ball from midfielder Laurent Dansereau and made it 2-0 on a hard battle. Rutland started the second half energetic, but Mark Sladen smartly intercepted a goal kick and chipped the ball over the Rutland goalie. Minutes later, Burnet crossed a long pass on the head of the oncoming right forward Sam Klair who completed the scoring. Vernon Topsport’s Man of the Match was shared between fullbacks

Dan Pawsey and Alex deBoersap. Yogi Kongsdorf earned the clean sheet. Turn-Key Controls Ogopogos clipped Cantinas 1-0 in other play. Tim Clarke made a miraculous early save for the Pogos before Roland Riedstra took a pass from Mark Wasyluk, deked the keeper but had his shot blocked by a defender. The Pogos tweaked their lineup for the final half. Riedstra took a shot that just grazed the top bar after being moved to striker. The rush then turned and Clarke jumped and pushed the ball to the side for a spectacular save. After a speedy run up the right flank, Rick Danyluk crossed a beauty right to Riedstra’s head which then deflected off the top of the crossbar back into play to a waiting Nolan Clark, whose shot through a defender was tapped in for insurance. Turn-Key is in the B final Sunday, Oct. 4 in Penticton.

They have three kids with exceptional

Smith’s legs get Magnums going Morning Star Staff

Crazy Legs led the Vernon Magnums to an impressive minor football victory Sunday. Quarterback Zack Smith – Crazy Legs, to coaches and teammates – ran twice for 55 yards and a touchdown, breaking a ridiculous number of tackles along the way, and was 7-for-7 through the air for 144 yards and three TDs as the Magnums rolled the West Kelowna Ti-Cats 51-13 at West Kelowna’s sparkling new community field. Isaiah Ondrik scored twice for the Magnums, catching three passes for 75 yards, as well as successfully kicking the converts and a late field goal. He also made some key tackles on defence. Liam Gombrich, looking like Seattle stud Marshawn Lynch, broke tackle after tackle, rushing three times for 75 yards with a touchdown, his third in two weeks. Trent Charlton ran twice for 24 yards and caught four passes for 25 yards, putting another six points on the scoreboard. Matthew Reich caught a 45-yard TD pass from Smith. Ethan Mitchell, Devin Hofsink and Ethan Shiman were also great playmakers for the Magnums. Connor Dewhirst was tough on the O and D lines. Newcomer Sarah Jobagy was instrumental in stopping a Ti-Cat touchdown at the end of the game.

Landscapes can be vibrant in droughts JUDIE STEEVES Special to The Morning Star

Water is not necessary to create colour and beauty in your home landscapes, according to Eva Antonijevic, with the Friends of the Summerland Ornamental Gardens. “Drought-tolerant landscapes are not just gravel and yucca. They can be vibrant with colour,” she says, pointing to the Welcome Garden, where simple white flowers of a Japanese aster form a bright cloud beside the vibrant rose-coloured fleece flower, with a tall cluster of golden lace in the background. This is now a more drought-tolerant perennial bed, replanted in 2012 to “reflect the environmental ethics of today’s gardeners,” said Antonijevic. “Gardens generally reflect the current mores of society,” she adds. Before that it was a rose garden, but all the

roses were lost in the winter of 2010-2011 and the decision was made to transition it to experimental water-saving perennials. There was a water savings of 63,000 litres of water in the first year, enough to fill a swimming pool. Even if you’re not willing or able to cut out all your water use on outdoor landscapes, reducing the amount of outside watering is just as important in the dry Okanagan valley, where water is a particularly precious commodity Since Antonijevic started work at the 15-acre ornamental garden four years ago, she has taken steps to reduce water use, except in the innovative 2.5-acre xeriscape garden started by Brian Stretch in 1991. It’s still the first and largest xeriscape demonstration garden in the country, she notes with pride. Efforts have also been made to water more efficiently elsewhere in the

gardens. For instance, an irrigation audit led to repairing and raising the sprinkler heads in the turf areas, funded in part through an Okanagan Basin Water Board grant, and resulting in another 29 per cent water saving. Antonijevic has applied for a separate grant to hire a dedicated xeriscape gardener to continue garden renovations to reduce water needs and the expense of annual beds. When she began at the gardens, 14,000 annuals were planted each spring. That said, there are a wide and colourful variety of drought-tolerant annuals as well, from popular zinnias and portulaca to alyssum, calendula, cosmos, geranium, marigolds, California and Shirley poppies, petunias, sunflowers and nasturtium. And many can be started from seed. In the coming year, the SOG will feature a selection of plants highlighted at participating

local garden centres as part of the Make Water Work plant collection, including thrift, lavender, sedum, coreopsis, blanket flower, catnip and thyme. Meanwhile, you can go to the Make Water Work website for details: www.makewaterwork. ca/plants. Looking for additional inspiration for your yard? Antonijevic recommends the Okanagan Xeriscape Association website (www.okanaganxeriscape.org) which provides valuable tips and advice about conserving water on your landscape, but also a plant database of more than 400 drought-tolerant annuals, perennials, trees, vines and shrubs. With 24 per cent of all Okanagan water used on household lawns and gardens, and less water available per person than anywhere in Canada, valley residents are encouraged to reduce outdoor water use this summer and fall.

Take the pledge at www.MakeWaterWork. ca. Take the pledge to: Water plants. Not pavement. Water between dusk and dawn. Leave lawn 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) tall Leave grass clippings as mulch Top dress with compost; Change some lawn for drought-tolerant turf and/or native and lowwater variety plants. Make Water Work is an initiative of the Okanagan Basin Water Board and its Okanagan WaterWise program.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder HE MAY WORK IT OUT; THWART HIM ANYWAY Lord Byron said, “I know that two and two make four - and should be glad to prove it too if I could - though I must say if by any sort of process I could convert two and two into five, it would give me much greater pleasure.” This is another deal like yesterday’s, in which a defender partly needs to estimate the declarer’s ability. But it is more pleasurable to beat the contract when you can. South gets to five clubs following the lengthy auction given. After West leads the spade ace, what should happen? North’s two-spade cue-

bid only showed a strong hand: at least a good twelve points opposite a balancing double. His three-spade cue-bid was an unsuccessful attempt to get into three no-trump if South had a spade stopper. When South couldn’t bid three notrump, North settled into five clubs. West cashes two top spades, East playing highlow to show his doubleton. If West continues with the spade queen, South ruffs and pauses. Dummy has 13 points and declarer has 15. There are only 12 missing, but West opened the bidding. He must have the club queen. So, South cashes the club king and runs the club jack through North to make the

contract. A more resourceful West spots one chance for the defense - if East can produce the club four. At trick three, West leads a low spade and hopes that East will realize what is expected of him. If East ruffs with the club four, West will gain a trump trick for down one.

BY EUGENIA LAST

YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY You have plenty of good ideas, but trying to deal with all of them will be your downfall. Focus on the most profitable plan and put everything you’ve got into being successful. Keep your emotions out of the picture when it comes to commercial or financial deals.

Crossword Puzzle

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) If you host a get-together, all eyes will be on you. Make the most of a social situation by mixing business and pleasure. Important contacts will open up a window of opportunity. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Let bygones be bygones. The more you relive the past, the harder it will be to move on. Consider what lifestyle changes you can make in order to feel at peace. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You have a lot to achieve and you will be inclined to overdo it. Leave yourself time at the end of the day for some rest and relaxation with loved ones. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will be surprised at the reaction you get when you are sincere about your needs. For the assistance you seek, you just have to ask. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Consider forming a partnership, but don’t stretch the truth when trying to make an impression. Overstating your qualifications or pretending to be something you’re not will cost you your reputation.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Try to be more accepting. Not everyone will agree

with your way of doing things, but that doesn’t make them your enemy. Give others the chance to speak their minds. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Despite a rocky start, you will be able to get through most of your to-do list today. An emotional friend or family member will need you to help sort out a personal problem. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Things are on the move and a change in location is possible. Consider all the pros and cons you face. Put your finances in place and do what’s most practical. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A lighthearted diversion will help you forget everyday worries. Get together with friends and colleagues for a physical or mental competition in order to let off steam and ease stress. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Negative types will sour your mood and lower your confidence. Align yourself with people who support your efforts. A true friend is one who builds you up, not tears you down.

Nick Paul Chubocha June 22, 1950 - September 17, 2015

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of our Big Nick from a sudden heart attack at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Loving husband, father, and Gido. Nick was born in Vancouver to Annie and Paul Chubocha. Nick spent his teenage years in Vancouver and soon after moved to Castlegar to help with the family-run hotel. In the early 70’s, the family moved to Vernon to open the Ukrainian Pyrogy House. He met his best friend and wife of 36 years, Lois, when he moved to Armstrong and married her July 7, 1979. During his career as a welder, he worked on numerous hydro dams and spent most of this time at Riverside Forest Products in Lumby. Nick and Lois lived in Lumby for 28 years. Nick was an avid outdoorsman, always able to reel in the big catch. He loved to teach his children, nieces, and nephews how to fish, hunt, cook, and garden and was always the first one to tell a joke to anyone that would listen. He will be lovingly remembered and cherished by his wife Lois and their children Adam (Carlita) and Ashley (Christopher) and granddaughter Cali; sisters: Jennie Ricci and Olga Andreychuk; mother-in-law Louise Millhouse (Appleby); and numerous brother and sister-in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family. He is predeceased by his mother Annie; father Paul, and step-father Paul Podolchuk; brother Peter Stash; brother-in-laws: Mike Luxton, Ralph Ricci, and Cecil Andreychuk. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family at www.MyAlternatives.ca

Margaret Diane Myers September 23, 1937 – September 12, 2015

We sorrowfully announce the passing of Margaret Diane (Spankie) Myers who slipped away peacefully on September 12th, 2015 at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Margaret was born on September 23rd, 1937 in Burns Lake, BC to James and Marion Spankie. She moved to Cherryville where she met her husband Arthur. They were married on September 24th, 1955. Margaret and Art moved around BC, following Art’s forestry career, and eventually settled in Vernon. They spent the last several years living in Armstrong on their son’s farm. Mom’s greatest pleasures in life were: spending time with her family, feeling the wind blow in her face, singing country songs, gardening and watching a summer’s storm. Margaret will be lovingly remembered by her children: Charolette (Bob) Hanaghan, Janet (Morris) Haugrud, Wanda (David) Coneybeare, Dale (Laurie) Myers, and Julia (John) Ruschienski; twelve grandchildren: Shelly (Jeff), Brent (Cassandra), Eliza, Amanda, Kailee, Amy, Reid, Broydon, Jacob, Samantha, Chelcie and Jessica; four great grandchildren: Sydney, Haley, Taylor, and Jayden; sisters, Eileen, Mavis and brother Edwin; numerous nieces and nephews. Margaret was predeceased by her husband, Arthur, in 2012, her mom, dad and sisters: Nora, Stella, Isabelle, and Rosie.

Meryl had an extensive career in office accounting, working with Kal Tire in Vernon for over 20 years and in Kelowna for St. George Moving, Hart Millwork, and finally Sunco Drywall right up until cancer prevented her from working earlier this year. The people at these locations made a difference in her life and she often recounted tales of her time spent with them. Meryl was an avid gardener and lover of all sports horse related. Her family and friends are grateful for the care provided to Meryl by the staff at the Vernon Hospice House. There will be no service by request. Donations may be made to the North Okanagan Hospice Society.

Missing You Both Always

1920 - 2015 It is with heartfelt sadness, we announce the passing of Peter Remus, at the age of 95 years, on September 15, 2015 in Vernon, British Columbia. He was born on a farm near Gronlid, Saskatchewan and was raised on this farm along with two brothers and two sisters and had many memorable experiences along with country dances which he loved to attend. He was a member of the Canadian Armed Forces and fought in WWII. On October 23, 1947, he married Olga Skwarchuk. They moved to a farm outside Melfort, Saskatchewan where they had their three sons, Gerald, Ron and Rob. After their sons were raised and married they moved to Melfort, Saskatchewan and later to Vernon, British Columbia where Peter resided for 25 years. Peter loved country music and dancing. He took up line dancing and entertained at many establishments in Vernon. Peter will be forever loved and his memory cherished by his sons: Gerald (Wendy) Remus of Calgary, Ron (Norma) Remus of Melfort, Saskatchewan and Rob (Patti) Remus of Calgary, Alberta. He is further survived by six grandchildren: Mathew, Leslie (Stephen), Chad (Julie), Kyle (Jodi), one step-granddaughter Sarah, and five great-granchildren: Carson, Jorgia, Grady, Maggie, Jillian and his two brothers George and Nick. Dad will be missed dearly. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s on-line obituary @ www.MyAlternatives.ca.
