The drought rating for the entire Okanagan has escalated but Greater Vernon is staying the course. While the provincial government initiated level four drought status for the valley Wednesday, the Greater Vernon Utility will not shift from stage one to stage two water restrictions. “We are in constant conversation with Ministry of Environment representatives,” sid Zee Marcolin, GVW manager. “The province is managing everyone (the valley) the same Zee Marcolin and we have a good drought management plan.” Marcolin admits provincial action puts GVW in a difficult situation as communities are being encouraged to reduce water use by 30 per cent. “We are going by our plan because it’s data we’ve considered.” The establishment of a level four drought advisory signals that regional water managers may take additional regulatory actions if they are deemed necessary. “Any such actions will be site specific depending on individual stream conditions,” states the government. Specific actions could include the temporary suspension of water licences or short-term water approvals in affected watersheds if necessary. “Although residential, agricultural and industrial users within municipalities and regional districts backed by reservoir storage are less vulnerable to water supply shortages than water users served by smaller water systems from streams, lakes and wells, all water users are encouraged to observe local water conservation bylaws to prolong water supplies and to maintain flows for fish and ecosystems,” states the government. There has been a 19 per cent reduction in water use as residents become aware of the need to conserve. Duteau Creek reservoir levels were checked Wednesday. “We’re still in stage one (restrictions) but we’re getting close to normal. Rain in late July and cooler temperatures helped,” said Jennifer Miles, water sustainability co-ordinator. However, Marcolin says there could be concerns about water supply in 2016 if dry conditions continue this year and there is a lack of snow during the winter. “We’re watching what we’re going into in the fall.”

Utility targets water theft

EmErgEncy rEsponsE

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

VERNON FIRE DEPARTMENT PHOTO

Paramedics and Vernon firefighters respond to a vehicle rollover behind Tim Hortons, off of 58th Avenue and 27th Street, Wednesday at about 2 p.m. The driver lost control on the 27th Street off ramp, heading north onto Highway 97, and was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital with unknown injuries.

Candidates hit the trail for support LACHLAN LABERE Black Press

Federal candidates have hit the hustings locally. Seeking election Oct. 19 in North Okanagan-Shuswap so far are Mel Arnold with the Conservatives, Cindy Derkaz with the Liberals, Chris George for the Green Party and Jacqui Gingras for the NDP. “The residents of the North Okanagan Shuswap need a strong voice in Ottawa,” said Arnold, a Salmon Arm resident. “As a lifetime resident of the area I have seen the challenges. Now I want to put my leadership skills and experience to work for you, to have a positive impact on the lives of everyday people in the riding. By being active in the community,

I understand the issues that families and seniors face and I will work tirelessly on your issues as your MP.” Derkaz, a Salmon Arm resident, says she decided to throw her hat in the political arena due to an increasing concern over the direction the country has taken under Prime Minister Stephen Harper. “After a decade of Harper, we want change that will make a real difference in the lives of all Canadians – change that will help families make ends meet, put more money in their pockets, and bring this country together,” she said. George lives in Notch Hill and says environmental and social policies brought him to the Greens. “There is no excuse for poverty in Canada. Elizabeth May’s small business

initiatives are the best there is,” he said. “Trade deals that give foreign corporations the right to sue our government for making responsible decisions in the interests of Canada must be renegotiated.” Gingras says her vision for the North Okanagan-Shuswap is to “mobilize our abundant resources to reinvigorate our local community.” “What we have learned too well over the past eight years with Harper is that the answers to the issues that affect our community don’t come from Ottawa,” said Gingras, who lives in Falkland . “They come from you and me; people who work here, raise their families here, and build a life here.” The nomination process for candidates closes Sept. 28.

Water thieves are facing the full force of the law. The Regional District of North Okanagan is sending out letters to about 20 Greater Vernon property owners who are bypassing water meters. “Enforcement action is happening,” said Stephen Banmen, general manager of finance. The property owners, ranging from residential to hobby farms, have installed pipes that allow them to irrigate without Banmen a meter registering usage. “They are using water for free and it’s not being accounted for,” said Zee Marcolin, Greater Vernon Water Utility manager. They will be given two options: either install a meter at the property line or pay the unmetered rate for water, which is $300 to $800 a quarter. “We could shut off their water but that’s the last resort,” said Marcolin. GVW has become aware of the bypasses through various means including public tips. “We got a call from an individual and his neighbour was bragging about their bypass,” said Marcolin. Some of those receiving letters are repeat offenders but the regional district did not have established procedures for enforcement at that time. “We now have ticketing bylaws and metering bylaws,” said Marcolin.

Speedway cancels event ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Travel trailers get a break from being broken this weekend. T he s e c ond Travel Trailer Day of Destruction scheduled for Sunday at Spallumcheen’s Motoplex Speedway and Event Park has been cancelled. “It’s a management decision,” said track contact Bob Newcombe, adding the move to cancel the second such event of

Stakeholders of the SAC will consist of a group of 14 people who can commit to the MWP review process and will have the following representation:

- Two (2) representatives that are high water use consumers from the non-domestic class*,

- Four (4) representatives from the residential user class, - One (1) representative from the developer class (can be the Urban Development Institute or other representative group), and - One (1) representative from a local service group. *Note: Non-Domestic Class means Commercial, Industrial, Institutional and other non-domestic users.

August 4, 2015 - until further notice In support of the Provincial Drought Response Plan for the South Thompson Watershed, the City of Armstrong is voluntarily implementing Stage 2 water conservation regulations until further notice. Fortune Creek, which supplies water to the City utility, is a tributary of the South Thompson Watershed. The Province of BC declared a Level 4 drought for the South Thompson Watershed due to declining stream ﬂows which are affecting a number of ﬁsh populations. Continued normal water withdrawals from the watershed will add to already stressful conditions; therefore the Province has written to all water license holders requesting efforts to reduce water use. During Stage 2 Conservation, no person shall: i) Use a sprinkler or irrigation system to water a lawn, garden, trees or shrubs; or ii) Wash driveways, sidewalks, parking lots or exterior building surfaces.

3. Identify an alternate representative in the event of a conflict with a scheduled meeting time. 4. Allow the RDNO to post your name and organization (if applicable) on the RDNO website under GVW-MWP. The Committee Terms of Reference and Application Form are available on the Regional District of North Okanagan website at www.rdno.ca/ water and at the RDNO office.

During Stage 2 a person may: i) Water trees, shrubs, ﬂowers and vegetables if watering is done by hand-held container or a hose equipped with a shut-off nozzle, but only during the prescribed watering hours and days which are:

Card skimmer located Morning Star Staff

Vernon RCMP are notifying the public that a credit card skimming device was located in a local business. The skimmer (pictured) was on the ground in the 32nd Street Esso July 31 and it’s not known if it was used. “The skimmer is difficult to detect and appears to be a normal part of the device (credit card reader) unless closely inspected,” said Cst. Jocelyn Noseworthy, with the RCMP. “Credit card users are reminded to be careful when using their cards, and to pay close attention to their bills to ensure that they have not been the victim of credit card fraud.” This matter is under investigation by the Vernon RCMP.

Armstrong restricts water RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Armstrong residents are being told to ease off the tap. The city is voluntarily implementing stage two water conservation regulations until further notice. “There has been a level four drought response issued by the Ministry of Environment and we’re following direction from the province,” said Mayor Chris Pieper. The government has declared a level four drought advisory for the South Chris Pieper Thompson watershed due to declining stream flows which are affecting a number of fish populations. Fortune Creek, which supplies water to Armstrong, is a tributary of the South Thompson. “Our reservoir levels are in pretty good shape but we want to maintain creek flow. Parts of it dry up,” said Pieper. During stage two conservation, no one will: Use a sprinkler or irrigation system to water a lawn, garden, trees or shrubs

Lightning fires up grass blaze RICHARD ROLKE

Wash driveways, sidewalks, parking lots or exterior building surfaces. During stage two, a resident may: Water trees, shrubs, flowers and vegetables if watering is done by hand-held container or a hose equipped with a shut-off nozzle, but only during the prescribed watering hours and days which are: Even numbered address may water by hand on even days of the calendar Odd numbered address may water by hand on odd days of the calendar Hand watering may occur between the hours of 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. to midnight; Water newly planted sod, trees, shrubs, flowers and vegetables or newly seeded lawn if watering by hand during installation and for the following 24 hours. These restrictions apply to all residents of the City of Armstrong, Pleasant Valley and Round Prairie specified areas, Highland Park, Stardel, Silver Star and Lansdowne water districts and other Spallumcheen residents receiving Armstrong water. “There are always a couple of people who don’t comply but most are conscious of water supply,” said Pieper. “Lawns will get a little browner until rain comes.”

A thunderstorm Tuesday night had Vernon firefighters providing a quick response. Reports came just before 8 p.m. of a grass fire on Joharon Road, off of Bella Vista Road. “When the storm came through, there were a few lightning bolts around and one hit a grassy area,” said Jack Blair, deputy fire chief. Neighbours noticed the blaze and immediately called the fire department, which soon arrived. “They soaked it down good,” said Blair. “That north side of Tronson Road and Bella Vista Road is a bit of a weather zone and we’ve had lightning strikes there before.” While this blaze was lightning caused, there is still a concern that residents may accidentally cause fires through a discarded cigarette or other means. “It’s still very dry out there,” said Blair of current conditions. “We need people to use extreme caution.”

Election guideline

o. The ruling Conservatives went and did it. By it, of course, I mean call one of, if not, the longest federal election campaigns in Canadian history. A grand total of 78 days for politicos and political parties to say why their party and candidates are the best and why we, the voting public, must vote for them on Monday, Oct. 19. From what I’ve read, federal election campaigns have to run at least 37 days. As a reporter who has covered a number of federal elections, I can tell you that 37 days feels like 67. So I can only imagine what this campaign is going to feel like by that Monday in Roger Knox October. The writ has been dropped and I, being the helpful guy that I am, have provided a helpful guideline for you leading up to the vote. Why is the election campaign so long? Well, from what I can muster, this is a smart ploy by the ruling Conservatives, who are loaded. And by loaded I mean with money, not booze. The Tories, who receive millions in donations, changed a law that imposed a maximum spending limit of around $25 million on election campaigns, adding about $700,000 for every day beyond the minimum 37 days of a campaign. It is believed that law change will severely impact the campaigns of the other parties. Is Stephen Harper still Prime Minister? From what I can gather, in a conversation with veteran federal election reporter Richard Rolke, it’s a definite maybe. Media are referring to him – Harper, not Rolke – as “Conservative leader.” It seems as if once a federal election is called, we have no Prime Minister. But if there was an emergency of epic proportions before Oct. 19, say, a death of a fellow world leader and Canada was to be represented at the funeral, or, God forbid, an attack on our country, then, yes,

AT RANDOM

Mr. Harper would be Prime Minister. Is Stephen Harper the most hated man in the world? In the world, no. That would be that Minnesota dentist who shot Cecil the lion trophy hunting in Africa. Mr. Harper, if you believe social media posts, would be the second most hated man in the world. I mean, I saw one post where some woman in this country died and in her obituary, she encouraged people to honour her last wish and vote Harper out. Enough said. Is Justin truly not ready to run the country? Aren’t those the worst TV ads you’ve ever seen, and a complete waste of money? In my opinion, if Justin Trudeau can lead the Liberal party he can lead the country. Is our riding still called OkanaganShuswap? No. Once the election was called, our riding became North Okanagan-Shuswap. We will have a new MP, right? Right. Colin Mayes, the former Salmon Arm mayor, is resigning after decades in political office. Who will replace him? Well, that, of course, is up to voters. This riding, even before the name change, has long been a Conservative stronghold. Before Colin Mayes, the MP was Spallumcheen’s Darrel Stinson. The Conservative candidate is Mel Arnold, a resident of Salmon Arm, which goes against the North Okanagan-Salmon Arm candidate pattern. Who are the other candidates in our riding? Those that have been declared – and parties have until Sept. 28 to declare a candidate – also includes Cindy Derkaz, Liberals; Chris George, Green Party; Jacqui Gingras, NDP. There will be all-candidate forums throughout the riding, a chance for you to get out, meet the candidates and hear their platforms. Trust me, over the next 73 days, you’ll hear plenty, including in this newspaper. If you want change in this riding and this country, you have to make it happen. Voter turnout is critical. Cast your vote on Oct. 19.

The precipitation and cooler weather in the North Okanagan this past week was a welcome relief during a hot, dry summer. It was easier to sleep, it gave our lawns a refreshing drink and it didn’t hurt the cause in area forests or community water supplies either. However, ironically, the relief came on the same day the provincial government initiated level four drought status for the Okanagan Valley. Gee, maybe if they had initiated this earlier we would have got some relief earlier, eh? Unfortunately, although it would be nice, we can’t really blame Victoria for the present state of affairs in the province. And, even though it rained some, we are still in a serious situation when it comes to our forests and our water supply. Most residents are aware of this and in Greater Vernon we have already cut back 19 per cent in our water use, and saved a bundle in the process thanks to our high rates, so it’s a win-win for taxpayers. The city is maintaining stage one water restrictions and monitoring conditions as summer progresses into fall. Armstrong is voluntarily implementing stage two restrictions until further notice but the message remains the same throughout the valley – use water sparingly and respect the resource. The same goes for our forests, enjoy beautiful British Columbia but respect the campfire ban and don’t make the firefighters’ job any tougher than it already has been this summer. Basically it comes down to being a responsible citizen and good neighbour during a challenging time for our province. And that should be something everyone can rally behind.

Mussels require action

remier Clark, we appreciate your ear in the discussion of quagga and zebra mussels as it should be looked at in a very serious matter. As you are aware of the threat, as posted on your website, and with the announcement sent out July 10 by the Ministry of Environment, the possibility of the invasive quagga and zebra mussels entering our province's water systems would be truly devastating. We are pleased the government has recognized this threat as a valid one with supplying our beautiful province with three mobile decontamination units. We are also really glad to hear that there was funding ($360,000, see funding below) to double our mobile decontamination units to six in our province. Funding for this initiative is provided as follows: Columbia Basin Trust – $275,000 Columbia Power Corporation – $70,000 FortisBC – $15,000 As stated, "These mobile units move between border locations, focusing on high-traffic routes and have the ability to quickly respond to any reports of potential threats called in through the provincial Report All Poachers and Polluters line." Our concern is these are moving units, which means there could be that one unlucky boat that sneaks into our water system while the mobile unit is moving, gassing up, or pulling over to assist a potential boat already threatening our water. SAD SITUATION Further to Cindy Valhalla's letter July 22 regarding the conditions at Pleasant Valley Cemetery, there is another situation that is far more deplorable. As I was researching my house, which was built in 1894, I inquired at the Greater Vernon Museum about who the original owners were and where they were buried. The records showed that one of the original owners was buried, along with other Vernon pioneers, at a small cemetery just west of Alexis Park Drive, at the corner of 35th Avenue and 38th Street. On further inquiry, I found out that the gravestones in this cemetery long ago fell into disrepair, and all the available pieces of these stones were gathered and put together in a cement wall at one end of the cemetery. The bodies of these pioneers are still buried in their original places, and the archives keeps a map of where each person lies, but of course the headstones are no

As in many tourist-heavy, beautiful areas of the world, fees are applied to visit and be a part of the luxury. Boating in beautiful B.C. should be a privilege, as it truly is a luxury on our amazing lakes. If someone would like to join our B.C. waterways recreationally, with their own boat from out of province, it will cost them an examination fee to pull into a weigh sta-

longer above each body. Now here's the kicker. This cemetery is now a dog park. I love dogs, own a dog, and love the numerous dog parks we have in Vernon. However, I think it's very inappropriate that dogs are now doing their business on the graves of these people. I wonder how many people are aware of this little cemetery and what has become of it. Do they realize when they are taking their dogs out, that they and their pets are walking over unmarked graves, and that their dogs are urinating on them? I believe that the city should get that cemetery map from the museum, figure out where each person is buried, put a small marker on each grave, and require that people take their dogs to one of the many other dog parks that we have in this city, and I'd be happy to volunteer to take on this project. Would anyone else like to help me? Jane Maskell

BREAKFAST ON THE FARM We just returned home from this wonderful event and want to express our appreciation on behalf of all of us (grandma and grandpa from Vernon and daughter and two grandchildren from California). It was so interesting for everyone, including the threeyear-old. Grandpa really liked the breakfast too. Hats off to everyone involved. Doug and June MacGregor GREAT TATTOO My husband and friends attended the Okanagan Military Tattoo. It was wonderful. The program was well organized and entertaining. It brought back memories of my dad playing bagpipes at different venues. The RCMP silent drill was excellent as was the naval veterans, band. The highway of heroes was moving. We have family members serving in the RCAF and some have been in Afghanistan. We look forward to attending

tion (or some form of boat-stop entering our province). The fee could be like an airport improvement fee, or like the toll for the Coquihalla Highway. Comparatively, I don't think a $30 inspection fee is out of line to save B.C.'s water. Is it? My point is, B.C. needs to make it mandatory that every single boat that enters from out of our province has got to be checked. The charge goes to the users entering our province. If six mobile units is costing only $720,000 a year, could we save a bit on gas and vehicle use, and add a bit to just the entry points into our province? Don't you think it would be a much more proactive move, plus, adding revenue to pay for these services? The mobile decontamination units would be awesome as a rapid response program for invasive mussels. However, there is no rapid response necessary once one mussel lays its million eggs into a water system. The invasion will spread very rapidly throughout our province and literally deoxygenate our lakes. Please watch www.protectourfreshwater.ca to see the scary possibility if we are not proactive. Our lake is our drinking source and a big part of our economy. As well, we really want our children's children to enjoy Kalamalka Lake, like our community does now. Just like all other lake users in our magnificent province do too. The Swanson Family

next year. Thank you to all of the participants. Well done. Rona Taylor WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? Two more trees have fallen from the other side of the creek on to our property. Repeatedly, we have tried to find out who is responsible for the upkeep and removal of those trees. We contacted the City of Vernon and the Ministry of Environment all without success. The city claims it is Crown land and not its responsibility, likewise the provincial government. In the meantime, our lives are in danger, our homes are in danger and it is an ugly looking mess. We are told that the trees are important for the fish but are fish more important than people's lives? Maybe by bringing it to the public's attention, we will get some answers. After all, we are taxpayers. Mary Ferguson

Timber, Controllers play for Gibson Cup Morning Star Staff

The North Okanagan Soccer League’s Gibson Cup championship will be an all-Vernon affair. North Enderby Timber will take on Turn-Key Controls Aug. 12 at 6:30 p.m. at Marshall Field for the league championship. NET and Turn-Key advanced with semifinal wins Wednesday. The hometown timbermen advanced to their sixth straight Gibson Cup final with a thrilling 2-1 win over Salmon Arm Nation of Domination (NOD) at Marshall Field. NET came out strong, creating the first few chances of the game but couldn’t beat the NOD keeper until the 35th minute. Brent Poulsen streaked down the sideline, cut to the middle and dished the ball off to Fabrice Fanfani, who danced around a defender and buried a rocket to the top corner from 23 yards. In the second half the tides turned and NOD came out firing, creating the majority of the chances but couldn’t get by the

stingy NET defence who only allowed six goals all year. In the 70th minute, Poulsen gave the timbermen a muchneeded insurance marker. Graham Ross beat a defender and hammered a pass to Poulsen who flicked the ball past the defence and beat the keeper low short-side. The two-goal lead lasted only three minutes when an NOD forward got in behind the NET defence and beat Timber goalie Victor Gouchee far side. Both teams had chances in the final minutes but the Timber held on to earn the win. In Salmon Arm, on a rainy Wednesday night, Turn-Key Controls advanced to the NOSL Final with a commanding 5-0 victory over Courvas. Turn-Key opened the scoring in the game’s opening minutes when Andrew Pool would find himself behind the defence and poke the ball past the keeper for the early lead. The two friendly rivals would engage in a battle in the midfield for most of the half, but it was Preston Tucker who would put the Controls squad ahead 2-0

when he headed home a cross from the wing for the lead going into halftime. The second half saw a tired Courvas squad unable to keep up with a motivated Turn-Key side. Jeremy Kler would make it 3-0 when an Evan Moore free kick was stopped by the goaltender but cleaned up with a header by Kler. Moore would be involved with the action shortly after when he sent Kanwar Pandher alone on net with a world-class through ball that Pandher converted. Thomas Pool would round out the scoring for Turn-Key. Goaltender Gregg Douma wasn’t tested often but did make the Total Restoration Save of the Game in the second half when he made a diving stop off a Courvas free kick that looked destined for the top corner to preserve the clean sheet. NET, the defending playoff champs, will be shooting for an 11th Gibson Cup title. Turn-Key is searching for its first-ever Cup title. They lost to NET in the final in 2012 and ‘13, and were eliminated by Courvas in the 2014 semifinals.

Trinity Hansma will battle her butterflies and toughest competition to date. The Vernon AAA Track and Field Club member, a Grade 10 student at Armstrong’s Pleasant Valley Secondary School, is in Sainte-Thérèse/Blainville, Que. for today’s start of the Legion National Youth Track and Field Championships. Hansma, 14, will compete for sure in high jump and possibly a relay event. “I’m really excited, it should be fun,” said Hansma, who expected nerves to be part of her national experience. “I’m a bit nervous but that’s part of things. I get little flashes of nervousness, then it comes and goes away.” Hansma earned her spot on Team B.C. for the Legion nationals by placing second and meeting a qualifying standard at a club jamboree meet in Nanaimo earlier this summer.

Gilbert, who will attend Simon Fraser University in the fall, and be part of the school’s track team, qualified for the Western Canada Games at the club jamboree in Nanaimo, where she won the 100-m hurdles. “I’ve been training four-tofive days a week since January,” said Gilbert, whose personal best time in the event is 15.36. “I’d like to run under 15 seconds. That would be cool.” Gilbert, who competed at the Legion nationals in 2013, will also compete in the triple jump and long jump in Fort McMurray.

The Vernon Vipers have acquired 20-yearold defenceman Bo Pellah from the South Shore Lumberjacks of the Maritime Hockey League in exchange for future considerations. Pellah is from New Westminster, stands 6-foot1 and weighs 175 pounds. He only played in 10 games last season between the Weyburn Red Wings of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League and the Whitecourt Wolverines of the Alberta Junior Hockey League. He finished with two points and 12 penalty minutes. “I watched him when he was a 16-year-old and he looked talented,” said Vipers’ head coach Mark

Ferner. “We are thrilled to have a player of his abilities come to this program.” Pellah played 71 games for the Langley Rivermen from 2011-13 and scored four goals, 38 points and racked up 63 penalty minutes. He also played 32 games for the Alberni Valley Bulldogs in the 2012-13 season and scored three goals, 20 points and recorded 40 penalty minutes. Pellah was named a BCHL second team all-star for the Coastal Conference. He is an offensive defenceman known for his puck-moving skills. The Vipers open training camp with three intra squad games Aug. 21-23 at Kal Tire Place. Games start at 2 p.m.

Giants defeat Anarchy in national final Braden Robertson and Troy Mick, with playercoach Brandon Solmes coming off the bench with some great timely hits to help the cause. Imagine Pools went 3-1 in the round robin, losing their opener to the Giants but bouncing back to mercy-rule the Surrey Howlers. Day two saw Anarchy knock off Edmonton’s Hostile Takeover, followed by a dramatic come-frombehind win against the Pop Flyers out of Red Deer with Garth Gartner hitting a tworun home run to win the game in the bottom of the seventh. Anarchy continued into the playoff round by beating the Gumboot Killahs from Edson, Alta., then defeated Hostile Takeover again to make it to the one-versustwo game against the Prairie Pleasers from Yorkton, Sask. Anarchy played great defensively with Melissa Locke leading the way with numerous plays in the field, and

Giants struck down Anarchy in Kamloops. Vernon’s Imagine Pools Anarchy’s great run at the Slo-Pitch National Signature Series’ Co-Ed D Division Championships came up one game short. Anarchy fell to Red Deer’s Cruiser Auto Giants in the championship, dropping both ends of a doubleknockout doubleheader. In the first game the Vernon squad lost 8-6 after giving up six runs in the first inning. In the second game they couldn’t get that timely clutch hit as they stranded 14 base runners and wound up losing 14-6. “We just couldn’t find our groove on Monday,” said Anarchy’s Taryn Robertson. “We are pleased with our improvement after placing fifth at last year’s nationals in Calgary.” Imagine Pools’ offence was led by Jen Gartner, Tracy Bell,

Todd Doyle hitting a two-run bomb, holding on for a 10-8 win. The Anarchy is composed of Taryn Robertson, Jen Gartner, Courtney Bissell, Tracy Bell, Cortnay Solmes, Melissa Locke, Braden Robertson, Brandon Solmes, Brandon Wakeman, Chad Gilroy, Don Prowse, Garth Gartner, Troy Mick and Todd Doyle. The Anarchy wish to thank their sponsors Imagine Pools and Waterscapes and The Kal Sports Bar for their support this season. Two other Vernon teams competed in the same division. Goodwood finished 11th out of 19 teams with a 3-4 overall record Team members include Ed Harris, Kacie Sawri, Joe Simpson, Iva Wiens, Allison Varga, Andrew Owen, Wes Gebhardt, George Anderson, Lynnea Wiens, Sabrina Wiens, Steve Tilby.

Nicole Williams of the Ball Blasters is cornered by Wren Ellis (left) and Jenessa Moore of the Lil Tex Outlaws in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 1 play Tuesday night at Marshall Field #4. No score from the game was submitted.

The AF Blazers did what no other team could do Tuesday in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters play. The Blazers took advantage of a shorthanded Peacock Sheridan Group squad, and scored a decisive 8-0 Div. 1 decision at Marshall Field, handing the Reds their first loss of the season. The PSG Reds played with only seven players. The Blazers lead 3-0 at half and took advantage of an exhausted PSG squad with five goals in the second half. Aspen Kozak and Hannah Nesbitt sniped a pair, while Shantell Hayhurst, Cassandra Otto, Alyssa Ward and Julie Kentel added singles for the victorious Blazers. Mid-fielders Steph Taylor and Anita Kossowski split the keeper duties for the Reds. With thunder and lightning rolling over the hills towards the southeast, the Adventure Bay Sistas cooked the Goplen Controllers 3-0 Tuesday night at Marshall Field #2. The Sistas started the game with 10 players after two ladies were out with illnesses, but still came out flying when

Andrea Zubot scored on a penalty kick to the top corner from 30 yards out. Jessica Garro celebrated her birthday by deking a defender and cranking one into the Controllers’ net. She was also playing forward for the first time and had several rushes and a few shots. In the second half, the Sistas moved a few defenders up to play forward and it immediately paid off. Bobbi Catt founding a dashing Garro, who ran in from the 18 and placed a nice shot in the corner. Leslie Williams battled through a lower body injury and Wendy Nadeau earned the shutout. Emma Louie was Goplen’s Player of the Match for her hard work digging up front on forward and also on the backline. Michelle Mercer played a solid game up front and Jacquie Nuyens, Michele Wernicke, and Krista Backer all had some nice scoring opportunities but just could not find the back of the net. Jodi Peshko, Sena Bishop, and Shawn Yargeau created some nice passes throughout the midfield to distribute the ball up the field. Michelle Embleton was solid in net and made some fantastic saves.

A taste of Italy in Spallumcheen Cara Brady Morning Star Staff

While other local gardeners are happy to see a few leaves on their fig trees, Bill Doak is wondering how to use his abundant fig crop. “I’ve always liked growing things. Whenever I plant something, it grows,” said the super gardener, who grew up in Manitoba, not really liking gardening because he was made to do it. He had a hobby farm while he worked as an engineer in Alberta and when he and his wife, Lovena, originally from Jamaica, retired to their two acres near Vernon in 2002, their garden blossomed. The you-pick farm has every kind of fruit, berry and vegetable anyone has heard of and some most people have never heard of. “We preserve the food and live off it most of the year. People should realize what grows here and how important it is to have local agriculture. We should never be in a position where much of our food supply could be cut off for some unforeseen circumstance,” said Doak, who has designed ingenious water and heating systems and maintains the farm equipment himself. The fig tree started as an experiment. He got a few cuttings of the Italian honey fig (Latturula) from fellow garden club member Bill Hickey. “It’s grown this big in about seven years and I’ve cut it back a lot,” he gestured to the tree, which is at least 15 feet high and could grow 25 feet high. “I cover it with a tarp in the winter and cut it back in the spring. It has no natural predators and has two crops a year. I’ve had some interest from a fancy restaurant in Kelowna that likes to use local produce so I’ll be interested to see what they make with the figs. We like to just eat them fresh and dry them.” Bill and Lovena’s garden has been described by some visitors as the Garden of Eden for its peaceful atmosphere and the soft music kept playing in the background. “People like to come here for the experience of picking their produce in the garden and maybe have a drink and some conversation after,” said Doak, who is also a metal worker, musician, writer and thinker. He has a blog at www.hohtdoak. com.

Bill Doak picks some of the bumper crop of Italian honey figs from the tree at his you-pick farm at Stepping Stones Estates in Spallumcheen. Lovena, who is a former university instructor and human rights advocate through the University Women’s Club and other community organizations, also keeps busy in the garden. She led a tour. “Bill is a Renaissance man. He has made so many things for the farm,” she said proudly. “We both enjoy gardening and having our hands in the earth and sharing what we grow. It’s paradise here with all the birds and butterflies and the flowers and plants. There was very little

here when we moved here, but the garden just kept growing. “We like to try things. Taste these yellow raspberries and maybe there is a strawberry left. We are so blessed. Some people don’t have enough to eat and we have this garden.” As gardeners do, Bill is already thinking about next year. “I think I’ll try grafting some different kinds of figs on the tree in the spring and see how they do,” he said.

Education helps caregivers to live well Morning Star Staff

An increasing number of families face a journey with dementia. As caregivers for a person with dementia, their first step in dealing with some of the challenges on that journey

is to learn about the disease, says the Alzheimer Society of B.C. Two free workshops Aug. 19 will provide practical techniques and strategies. Getting to Know Dementia reviews infor-

mation about Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Participants will learn about the types of support available throughout the dementia journey, including an introduction to programs and services offered by the society. The session runs 10 a.m. to noon and is intended for people experiencing early symptoms of dementia, as well as family members or

Kids get active Jenny Green Special to The Morning Star

Many of us can recall hearing something like this when we were kids: “When I was your age, I used to walk 15 kilometres to get to school in five feet of snow...” This lesson from our elders speaks to our society’s change to a faster pace of life. It also reflects our reliance on automobiles to move us around our community instead of using more active modes of transportation such as walking, biking and even taking public transit. Walking to school improves kids’ physical activity levels, social interactions and alertness at school and also improves the environment and mental wellbeing of parents. Yet, in Canada, 58 per cent of parents say they always walked to school when they were kids but only 28 per cent of their kids do. So curiosity led me to ask parents about why the shift away from walking to school. My findings were similar to those identified by the Active Healthy Kids Canada (2014). When it comes to walking to school as well as other physical activity for kids, parents often choose what they believe will save time, is more convenient and is safer. My morning commute often involves navigating my bike through traffic flowing to and from the nearby schools. While wading through the traffic and idling vehicles, I often wonder how this can be more efficient, convenient and safe. Not only am I and the children who are walking or biking to school at greater risk of being hit by a car, there are also a lot of carbon emissions being dispelled into the neighbourhood as cars idle near the drop-off zone. With asthma and obesity on the rise in children and youth maybe it’s time to reflect on the words of our elders and re-consider how we get around. Schools, city planners, parents and neighbourhoods have pulled together in various communities to plan safe routes to school. One initiative gaining popularity is the walking school bus which can be as simple as a group of children walking to school with one or more adults. Now that is something I can get behind! Jenny Green is a community health facilitator with Interior Health.

Good hearing but trouble with conversation? A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out. A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis. Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally

good solution for most people. This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company. The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background. Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises.

amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened. This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be a

Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussed above and can benefit from a demonstration to see whether they notice an improvement.

Some of the province’s best, and youngest, buckaroos are getting saddled up for the Little Britches Rodeo in Armstrong this weekend. “Next to Merritt, it’s the second biggest (Little Britches Rodeo) in B.C.,” said Skye Hamming, North Okanagan organizer. Riders take to the Armstrong fairgrounds ring from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday. Kids nine and under saddle up from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the 10 to 14 year-olds ride in the afternoon. “There’s barrel racing, pole bending, goat tail tying and steer riding,” said Hamming. “And it’s free to the public.” More than 100 kids are competing in the event. “We have quite a few local competitors but we also have competitors coming from all over B.C.”

A Lumby area business is introducing local residents to the concept of tiny houses. Rouck Bros. Log Homes will hold a two-day workshop on tiny homes at its craft mill Monday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Tuesday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. “The workshops are packed with extensive information and hands-on, in-shop experience, addressing how to create a highly insulated wall in just one step,” said Kevin Rouck, with the company. “We teach you how to assemble your own energy-efficient tiny home or small footprint home with comprehensive, detailed information. This course is perfect for those interested in eco and sustainable living while building their next cabin, studio or home. Some construction experience is helpful for this course, but not at all necessary.” Rouck started building log homes in 1980. For the past three years, he has initiated a public interest in smaller, more economical and environmentally friendly designs. For more information about the workshop, call 250-547-6619.

Young artists in residence prepare to show their work at arts centre Morning Star Staff

The Arts Council of the North Okanagan (ACNO) has announced the recipients of its third annual Youth Artist in Residence. Tiana Dusil, Kate Healy and Camryn Sproule have all been at the Vernon Community Arts Centre since July 2, where they have been given the opportunity to work in a professional studio space. “The purpose of the Youth Artist in Residence program is to create a stimulating and supportive environment for art creation

and exploration,” said ACNO executive director Lynne Gayan. “It is vital that we provide opportunities and programs like this to support, celebrate and recognize the achievement of our young people.” In the past two years, the ACNO has provided a residency to only one student, with this year being the first time the council has granted three youth the same opportunity. The residency is open to youth ages 15 to 19 in the early stages of their careers, who work in any visual arts medium.

In addition to providing the students free studio and exhibition space, each artist has received a monetary bursary to purchase art materials, a one year ACNO membership, use of supplies and equipment, mentoring opportunities with professional artists, publicity and promotion, and an opening reception to launch their art show. As their residency soon comes to a close, the artists are holding the opening reception for their exhibition, Frame of Mind, Aug. 24 at 5 p.m. at the Vernon Community Arts

Centre, where they will each talk about their work. Applications for the next intake for the 2016 Youth Artist in Residency program will be available online at www.acno.ca in May, 2016. The ACNO is also inviting all youth to participate in promoting and supporting the arts by getting involved with the Vernon Youth Arts Council. For more information, contact Gayan at 250-542-6243 or email lgayan@shaw.ca.

Arts Mission worth the admission Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation hen the IMF is dismantled by the CIA, a select few agents led by Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) take on their most impossible mission yet: exposing and eradicating the Syndicate, a rogue organization of agents equally powerful. The Syndicate execute statecraft down the barrel of a gun, on a global scale, independently. Joining agent Hunt are agents Brandt (Jeremy Renner), Dunn (Simon Pegg) and Stickle (Ving Rhames). With both sides chasing them, the team must work with a possible double agent, Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson), who has infiltrated the Syndicate on behalf of England. We say, “Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation is actionpacked fun.” TAYLOR: Rogue Nation has all the right pieces in the right order. From the trailer, it kind of felt like it would succeed by lightening up a bit, adding Mr. Pegg and by acknowledging that the film is not meant to be taken seriously. Thus, we can forgive its more preposterous aspects and enjoy the adventure. The stunts, chase scenes and action sequences are unique

Reel Reviews

Taylor and Howe

and exciting. The story, while convoluted, is interesting and puts us into the next scene quickly. There were some edits that were technically poor, due to scenes being cut for time (it’s rather obvious), leaving some things unexplained, but for the most part, I enjoyed the way the film unfolded. HOWE: I thoroughly enjoyed the film. Even though Cruise is a teeny, tiny man he knows how to make a big blockbuster and they don’t come much bigger this summer

than Rogue Nation. The long, fast car/ motorbike chases felt like I was sitting alongside them for the ride. The action is nonstop and the witty dialogue between the characters kept it ticking along. You do get an occasional breather, even if it is only for a couple of moments. TAYLOR: Some breathtaking action, no time wasted on romance, lots of spy gadgets, impossibly sticky situations solved cleverly and originally: MIRN succeeds. Sometimes it’s silly, but it’s so much fun you won’t mind. Cruise works hard and deserves our respect, but this film isn’t delivering anything we haven’t seen before, it’s just doing it well,

with style and humour. It’s not as much fun as Antman, but well worth the ticket. Go. HOWE: The first Mission: Impossible was very well done, the next few, not so well. Rogue Nation seems to have returned to its roots: snappy, fun, providing the most entertainment and value for the money. I think it will end up compared to the upcoming The Man from U.N.C.L.E., which I am looking forward to, due later this year. But for the time being, this mission is a success. – Howe gives Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation 4 LP’s out of 5. – Taylor gives it 3.5 plastic bladders out of 5.

Canadian country star Dean Brody surprised 100 guests, and numerous boaters floating by, when he performed at a wedding held at the Chapman beach house in Vernon on Okanagan Lake Sunday. Vernon’s own Andrew Johns started the evening’s entertainment followed by Brody, who played for more than two hours to the vocal crowd. He also made sure to spend time taking photos and interacting with the crowd during the songs. Brody is starting a Canadian tour that brings him to Kelowna Sept. 26 with Paul Brandt.

A notch above Paul Kalkbrenner: 7

erlin techno artist Paul Kalkbrenner’s new album 7 brings the electro wizard’s spacey anthems to the world stage. The techno maven’s regard is such that the German government asked him to perform at the 25th anniversary Dean Gordon-Smith of the Berlin Wall takedown. Kalkbrenner provides the sounds for epic events. Kalkbrenner isn’t the typical tranced-out DJ, geeking out on his mixing board. He embraces the techno culture of Berlin and uses this heritage to produce some stirring music. The opening tracks of 7, Battery Park, Cyclene 412 and Cloud Rider, are simple pieces at the centre and Kalkbrenner builds on them to make massive electro anthems – he’s like a

Street SoundS

super-charged Moby. He uses atmosphere like a conventional musician would, although his hooks are moody and otherworldly (Tone & Timber, Bright Roller). There’s a pleasing order to Kalkbrenner’s songs, and they can be heard in a traditional manner once you accept the context. On 7 Kalkbrenner draws on the Berlin new wave tradition and his music reflects the weird edginess of that city. For all that, there’s an international character to the music and although he uses unconventional methods to get the message across, it works. He doesn’t draw on standard electro mediums like disco and club music, so his songs are wide open to interpretation. He does a transformative take on Grace Slick’s White Rabbit on the standout song Feed Your Head. It’s an unimagined pairing that sounds majestic and makes perfect sense. It’s a notion that is hard to ignore. Kalkbrenner could take techno to the masses – he’s the guvnor.

Moderately Confused

“We’re having a baby!”

Bridge by Phillip Alder IT IS THE SAME BY A PASSED HAND G.K. Chesterton, an English writer who died in 1936, said, “By a curious confusion, many modern critics have passed from the proposition that a masterpiece may be unpopular to the other proposition that unless it is unpopular it cannot be a masterpiece.” This week, I have been trying to clarify the confusion that responder can have after the opener bids one of a major and the next player interposes a takeout double. Then, a jump to two no-trump shows game-invitational values with four-card or longer support for partner’s major. With game-forcing strength, responder bids three no-trump. Here,

though, responder is a passed hand, so cannot have a game-force unless he has distributional values in the form of a singleton or void, when he could make a splinter bid. I know, more confusion! In this deal, North indicates a maximum pass with four or more spades, and South bids game. (Yes, South might have opened one no-trump. Then North might have raised to three no-trump, which would not have worked well; or he would have used Stayman and reached four spades.) West cashes two top hearts, then shifts to the club jack. Declarer wins with dummy’s ace and runs the spade jack. West takes the trick and leads another club. How should South continue?

It looks obvious to take the diamond finesse, but West, who could not open the bidding, has already shown up with 11 high-card points. East must have the diamond queen. Declarer should draw trumps, cash his diamond ace, and play a diamond to dummy’s king. Keep counting those highcard points.

Mary Ann Duggan

left the Earth too early on July 20, 2015. Born in Kelowna to Colin and Zella Murray, Mary Ann grew up in Winfield on the shores of Wood Lake at Sam’s Resort, before raising her family with Patrick Duggan on their dairy farm in Lumby. She spent her final years in the Lower Mainland with her love and companion, Terry Gaines. She’ll be remembered as a trusted confidant for many; with a quick wit, toughness, and passion for all things equestrian. She lives on in the hearts of her three children: Rylan, Evan and Jacalyn; her brother, Wally Murray; and many others. She died peacefully at Laurel Place Hospice in Surrey. She was 56.

ROURKE, MARGARET February 13, 1932- July 22, 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother Margaret on July 22 in Coldstream, BC. She is survived by her son Mike (Hilary), daughter Kathie (Sam) grand-daughters Jaime and Jennifer as well as brother Frank Lewis and wife Darlene. Margaret spent many years active in the community of Ladysmith, and then moved to Vernon, B.C. She worked as an airline stewardess for Canadian Pacific Airlines and then in the medical office field. She was a member of the Vernon Golf Club in the 1970’s and early 80’s and was an avid skier who loved spending time at Silver Star. She was a dedicated volunteer for many years with the Vernon Winter Carnival. One of her greater passions later in life was reading. She will be greatly missed by her family, as well as her friends and staff at Coldstream Meadows. At her request, there will be no service, but a donation to the Allan Brooks Nature Centre at 250 Allan Brooks Way, Vernon, BC V1H 1G2 would be greatly appreciated.

Wesley Allan LeBel

ALLAN ROBERT GRANT

February 6, 1964 - July 24, 2015

“If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever.” It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of our hero Wesley. His generous spirit and comforting presence are held in our hearts during this difficult time. Pre-deceased by his Father “Pops” Raymond LeBel; left to mourn are beloved wife of 30 years, Allison LeBel, cherished mother Barbara LeBel, brothers Barry (Mona) LeBel, Raymond LeBel, sister Sharon (Clay) Westerlund, a bounty of nieces, nephews, cousins and special friends. Wes lived his life from a place of optimism. His unwavering courage often carried those around him. With strength of character through his accident, recovery and recent illness; he still celebrated the joys of those dearest to him rather than bemoan his position. A consummate dreamer, he made a lifetime of adventures a reality with Allison by his side. Boating, camping, hunting, skiing, fishing and many sports were passions that would fire his competitive spirit from the early days skating river to rinks in Val Marie, Saskatchewan to the arenas in Nanaimo, BC. He is remembered as a star teen athlete; in recent years an avid fan of Nascar, football and hockey and always the most “sportsman-like” in everything he turned his hand to. Vernon, BC was a special paradise for Wes since 1983, where his family grew to include several “feathered and furred” creatures on the hobby farm. His respect for a western way of life, those lovely black cows and farming were constants. His cheeky sarcasm and mischievous grin drew legions of friends to him and “charming” doesn’t begin to describe such a large personality. He was quite simply ... magnetic. Where others saw limitations, he saw possibility. With his 1968 Charger RT restoration, trips to Hawaii and Vegas, Wesley reminded everyone to live with joyful abandon, to love deep and laugh always. “Blood, sweat, tears. No practice tomorrow ‘cause there is no one left to beat.” — Bobby Orr The family wishes to thank Dr. Mandreck, Dr. Humphreys, Dr. Ainsley and the wonderful teams at The Cancer Clinic, Palliative Care and Hospice House for the exceptional care and compassion provided to Wesley. To our “forever” caregivers, Reid Conn and Dave Hundt, thank you for providing a beautiful quality of life for many years as family.

A Celebration of Life will take place at 11:00 am - Wednesday August 12, 2015 at Paddle Wheel Park, 7801 Okanagan Landing Rd, Vernon, BC. A reception will follow directly after the service, also at Paddle Wheel Park. Donations may be made to The North Okanagan Hospice Society. Condolences may be offered at www.vernonfuneralhome.com

Its humble 135 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque being produced from its 1.4L, MultiAir Turbo four-cylinder might look mediocre on paper, but it brings this car to life. And of the three available engines offered, the base, naturally aspirated 1.4L MultiAir, the Turbo, or the Turbo from the Abarth version (160 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque), the 500 Turbo (middle child of engines) is my top pick. It is spirited, peppy and makess driving fun. It’s enough horsepower too play with, but not enough to get into too much trouble. Adding to the fun factor is w the introduction of an all-new uAisin heavy-duty six-speed auual lover to tomatic transmission. A manual the core, I quite liked the new addition to the fold. It also took the edge off in urban commuting. And for the times when you want a little more gusto, there’s a “Sport” mode. You’ll find this magical button on the instrument panel. What it does is change the throttle mapping for improved engine responsiveness. While I love the car as a whole, I still have a couple of quibbles with it. The instrument panel (with the push

buttons and all) looks archaic and is a headache to work with. Furthermore, the optional navigation also sits atop the dash, which eats up prime real estate with it comes to forward visibility. And it looks misplaced. But for the reasons I wrestle with the Fiat 500 Turbo, there are plenty more favourable features that put me at ease. The optional Beats stereo system sounds great in the cabin, the leather-wrapped sport steering wheel and fee nice between my fingers shift knob feel th optional red leather and the seats make the interior pop.

They’re excited about their car and want to share the love. The Fiat 500 Turbo Hatchback has a starting MSRP of $21,395. But with all the options, the price as tested comes out to $30,370.

Clean diesel VW Golf sets new world record

by Keith Morgan

The 2015 Volkswagen Golf TDI Clean Diesel, part of the family of vehicles that won the 2015 North American Car of the Year, has set a new Guinness World Record. The award is for achieving the “lowest fuel consumption—48 U.S. contiguous States for a non-hybrid car” with an impressive 81.17 miles per US gallon of diesel (2.89 L/100 kms). Travelling 13,250.53 kms (8,233.5 miles) around the United States in 16 days on $294.98US of Shell Diesel fuel, the Golf beat the previous mark of 3.01 L/100 kms. “Covering 8,233.5 miles on just 101.43 gallons of Clean Diesel fuel is a remarkable accomplishment, and solid proof of the efficiency and fuel economy of Volkswagen’s TDI Clean Diesel vehicles,” said Michael Horn, President and CEO, Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. “Whether on a long road trip,

or even in daily commuting, the great mileage and long range of our TDI models is a pure convenience factor that few other vehicles on sale can match. It’s a simple formula: Less Stop, More Go!” The record-setting Golf TDI departed from Volkswagen of America’s headquarters in Herndon, Va., and returned there to claim the record. Wayne Gerdes, automotive journalist and founder of cleanmpg.com, was the primary driver. His co-driver was Bob Winger, an electronics engineer long involved in energy and conservation projects. Gerdes is an expert hypermiler who has set mileage records in more than 100 vehicles. In 2013, Gerdes set the previous record in a 2013 Volkswagen Passat TDI. “Volkswagen’s TDI Clean Diesel engines are just amazing,” said Wayne Gerdes. “I don’t think people realize the potential mileage you can get from them. In our experience, it is possible to get truly impressive mileage results by using just a few simple fuel-saving techniques.” The 2015 Golf TDI uses

Volkswagen’s advanced turbocharged and direct-injection Clean Diesel engine to achieve an EPA estimated highway fuel economy of 45 miles per gallon when equipped with the six-speed manual transmission. For the attempt, the Golf TDI used Shell ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel and Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max tires which feature a fuel-saving tread compound to help increase fuel efficiency and offer confident all-season traction. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Ian Harwood

Bob McHugh

Ian Harwood has been involved in the light truck industry for the past 30 years. His career started with the opening of a small 4-wheel drive shop in the early 80s. This shop was involved in custom fabrication, complete 4x4 rebuilds, and sales of off-road related products. This would prepare him for his current position as Manager for Custom Truck Parts, one of the largest accessory warehouses in Canada. Ian started his journalism career in the late 1090s with a column in a national magazine for automotive enthusiasts. In the spring of 2005 Ian was approached by a local news outlet to write a weekly column. Wilderness exploring, fishing and four wheeling have been his passion since he was a teenager. Some memorable moments in Ian’s career are flying in by hto the famous Rubicon Trail in Northern California and driving a 2007 Jeep Wrangler out of the backwoods, up a waterfall and out of the trail to Lake Tahoe.

For as long as Alexandra Straub recalls, I’ve been writing about cars for over 25 years and I’m a long-term member of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC). My auto background is mainly in the service side of the industry as I’ve always had a keen interest in knowing how things work. Especially those oily, greasy parts that make the wheels go around. My first car was an early sixties Triumph Herald Coupe (web example photo) that was traded-in to a dealership where I worked as an apprentice auto mechanic, back in Dublin, Ireland. It spent more time off the road, being repaired, than on the road, during my time as its owner. A Herald had the same chassis and a similar powertrain as the much nicer looking Triumph Spitfire, which was sold in North America. At the BC Automobile Association I initially worked as a mobile Vehicle Inspector in the Vehicle Inspection Service. The vehicle was an AMC Gremlin and it was painted to look like a cut-away or skeleton view of the car’s mechanical bits. A small car with a big gas-guzzling engine, a Gremlin was an odd choice of vehicle for that job and the paint job just added to its weirdness, yet I grew to like it. Currently I enjoy serving on the AJAC Technology Awards panel and have also been involved in the promotion of trade skills training for young people in BC. When time permits, I still like to get my hands dirty and give my son a helping hand with, his pride and joy, a 1966 Ford Thunderbird coupe. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca
