Coenzyme Q10 (also called CoQ10 or ubiquinone) is a natural substance vital to human cellular energy production. CoQ10 is also involved in maintaining normal heart function, and it is an antioxidant, scavenging free radicals throughout the body. CoQ10 is required by every cell in our body and is the key to chemical reactions that produce cellular energy. Just as an automobile engine with poor spark plugs chokes, sputters and dies, without enough CoQ10 (our cellular spark plug) our health can break down, resulting in all kinds of degenerative diseases. Studies show that CoQ10 may be e� ective for congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, some forms of cancer, and gum disease.Sale Price $ 24.19Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin necessary for energy production; for nervous system function as it is needed to produce myelin, the fatty substance that forms a protective sheath around nerves; for the production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that helps with memory and learning; for the synthesis of red blood cells; for producing the genetic materials, DNA and RNA. It can help depression and give you energy. Most vitamin B12 comes from animal source foods and is de� cient in strict vegetarian diets. Many elderly people su� ering from neurological impairment � nd that B12 supplementation greatly improves their cognitive function. Shift workers, too, can bene� t from sublingual B12. It’s well established that shift workers have more trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. Poor sleep quality is probably why they have greater susceptibility to illnesses, including cancer, and have more accidents than other sectors of the population.Sale Price $20.89

Interior Health is cele-

brating its thousands of volunteers during Na-tional Volunteer Week

April 6 – 12. Volunteer Week is an opportunity to recognize and thank volunteers for the work they do to enhance health care delivery throughout the region.

Volunteer recognition events will be held at many local hospitals and residential care fa-cilities throughout the region during the month of April. In other areas, gifts or cards are of-fered as thanks.

Interior Health is sup-ported by an estimated 4,800 volunteers.

“I really cannot say enough about our vol-unteers,” said Norman Embree, Interior Health Board Chair. “We liter-ally could not do what we do without their sup-port.”

In the West Koote-nay, Interior Health is celebrating volunteers such as Judy Sorensen,

whose volunteer pro-gram brings the beauty of art to the residents of the Columbia View Lodge residential care site in Trail. Residents’ awe-inspiring paint-ings now line the halls of Columbia View and other locations in the region. Sorensen also took it upon herself to research the therapeu-tic benefits of art, par-ticularly for individuals with dementia, and con-ducts her art program in a way that draws from everything art can do to engage and support residents.

“For me, volunteering is just part of what you do. Seeing the residents’ reactions when they see what they have done is very rewarding,” said Sorensen. “It’s impor-tant for me to treat peo-ple how I would want to be treated. When I have

to go to residential care, I would like to have people come by and support me with things like this.”

In the East Kootenay, Interior Health is recog-nizing volunteers like Odette Rouse in Cran-brook, whose dedicated support of the Cran-brook Health Care Aux-iliary Society over the last 32 years helped turn a modest thrift store in a rented basement space into a thriving indepen-dent business and part of the community.

“I was very lucky in my own life, so I felt it was important to give back. I truly be-lieve what we are doing with our store serves multiple purposes. Our main goal, of course, is supporting our hos-

National Volunteer Week is Canada’s larg-est celebration of vol-unteers, volunteerism,

and civic participation. It deserves to be recog-nized; across Canada 13.3 million volunteers contribute 2.1 billion total hours.

Interior Health is con-tinually looking for special people to help out in a wide range of volunteer roles. Visit www.interiorhealth.ca under About Us > Get Involved for volunteer opportunities in your area.

Every year countless young people under-take volunteer work, whether as part of a school project or from personal interest. Early altruistic and formative experiences like these have a great influence on their future adult lives. During National Volunteer Week 2012, which takes place from April 15 to 21, let us all remind ourselves of the benefits of youth volunteerism.

By becoming a vol-unteer, young people acquire a sense of responsibility and a feeling of belonging that will follow them throughout their lives. As well as giving them a first work experience, volunteering will also allow them to develop autonomy while they broaden their horizons.

Feeling usefulWhen young people

embark on volunteer work, ideally around the age of twelve, they learn about themselves and become more familiar with their community. Getting involved gives them the enormous plea-sure of feeling useful. Volunteering is also a beneficial experience

for young people when the time comes for them to join the job market. Their proven commitment to soci-

ety will reassure future employers.

Summer and week-ends

Volunteer opportuni-

ties abound during the summer or on week-ends, when young people aren’t busy at school. Many different areas are open to teens who want to satisfy a need to contribute to the greater good. These might include staffing an organization’s infor-mation desk, coaching a sports team, getting involved in a fundrais-ing activity, or work-ing at a kiosk during a charity event.

Volunteering helps

young people grow into informed, con-cerned adults and gives them the opportunity to become good citi-zens. It gives young people the chance to address the issues they care about and believe in. It’s not surprising that volunteering is something they will be proud of for a whole lifetime.

Engage young people with volunteerism

Photo submitted

Getting local youth involved as volunteers for your cause not only helps your organization, it helps give a sense of pride and accomplishment to the youth.

An evening of decadence, elegance and benevolenceThis past Thursday,

April 3, Speak Your Mind, the 2014 Koo-tenay Women’s Show was held at the St. Eu-gene Golf Resort and Casino.

Local businesses showed their wares, met the community and showed what makes the business community the force that it is in the area.

Attendees to the show were treated to amazing hors d’oeuvres, wine from

one of the sponsors and jokes, prizes, a talk from Kootenay Therapy Centre’s Su-zanne Thompson and a magnificent and uplifting speech from keynote speaker, CBC Anchor Wendy Mes-ley.

Visit the Kootenay Advertiser Web site at www.kootenayadver-tiser.com for a slide-show of the evening.

School District 5 (SD5) Board of Education is pleased to announce the hiring of Jason Tichauer as the new Director of Student Learning. This position, previously held by Doug McPhee until his retirement last month, is responsible for the implementation, support, supervision and evaluation of edu-cational programs in the District.

According to Board Chair, Frank Lento, McPhee has offered his assistance transitioning Tichauer into the posi-tion of Director of Stu-dent Learning. “Doug and Jason are very simi-lar when it comes to their commitment to and passion for student suc-cess. While it’s difficult to say goodbye to Doug, the Board feels very confident in Jason’s abil-ity to take up the torch.”

Born in North Vancou-ver and raised in Squa-mish, BC, Tichauer re-ceived both his Bachelor of Education and Master of Education (leader-ship) at the University of Victoria. Currently the Principal of Mount Baker Secondary School (MBSS), Tichauer be-gan his career teaching at Fort Nelson Second-ary School in 1994. He joined SD5 eight years ago in 2006 as Principal of Sparwood Secondary School.

According to Tichau-er, despite how much he’ll miss working with students on a daily ba-sis he’s excited to take on the challenges of the Director of Student Learning position. “The idea of taking my pas-sion for raising student achievement and the programs that support it to a district-wide level is extremely rewarding”.

Lento says Tichauer is a strong leader, espe-cially when it comes to letting others take the reigns. “Jason under-stands that leadership is the forefront of twenty-first century learning. He recognizes leader-ship isn’t about telling people what they should do but about letting peo-ple excel at what they do best.”

Tichauer will continue in the capacity of princi-pal at Mount Baker Sec-ondary School until the end of June, at the same time assuming the du-ties of Director of Stu-dent Learning beginning April 1st, 2014.

DO YOU HAVE SEWER BACK UP INSURANCE?

Please check your Homeowner’s Insurance Policy. If you do not have sewer backup insurance you should contact your broker and arrange to have it included in your policy. The City of Cranbrook does its best to maintain the sewer systems, but has little control over what foreign objects may be deposited in them causing blockage. The City will not accept any claim for back up of sewers. Claims of an accidental or unforeseen nature should be processed through your Homeowner’s insurance.

The recent outbreak of Measles in of BC has sparked a passionate debate about the increasing num-bers of parents who are choosing not to vaccinate their children. There is growing frustration among those who adamantly sup-port vaccines and equal kick back from those who oppose their use. For those in support, there is no rea-son not to vaccinate and they charge parents who don't vaccinate as being responsible for the out-breaks. Those in opposition to vaccines don't vaccinate their children out of a fear of harming their child or for religious reasons. It is a complex issue at the centre of medicine, personal choice and religious freedoms. Clearly, childhood vaccine’s have been a powerful health tool, eradicating some dis-eases like smallpox. This accomplishment, however, has come with a price. There are those who still hold to the notion that vaccines are 100% safe, a belief that is simply not true. Ask the parent who has a vaccine injured child how they feel about childhood vaccina-tions and they will share

with you the tragedy and heartbreak of their loss. Every medical intervention comes with risk and the problem with vaccines is that we don't really know how safe they are. It should be shocking to learn that there has never been a large comparative study exam-ining the health outcomes of children who have been vaccinated and those who have not been vaccinated. It is the only widely used medical intervention that has not been studied in this way. This fact helps to under-score the dilemma: vaccines clearly are of benefit but we do not fully understand their risks. It is the lack of safety data that scares many parents away from vaccinating their child. The general medical consensus is that the benefit of vaccination is worth the risk however when you put yourself in the shoes of a parent who's child was injured by a vaccine one can understand the decision made by some parents to avoid vaccines. I encourage parents to educate them-selves about this charged and complex topic by read-ing from sources on both sides of the issue.

OBITUARYRod Pettypiece

1949-2014With courage and dignity Rod Pettypiece passed away at the Cranbrook Hospital in the early hours of April 2nd, 2014. Rod was born in the Penticton on Sept 7th, 1949. He made his home in Cranbrook B.C. and he worked for Skookumchuck Pulp Mill for forty years. Rod and his wife spent summers at their summer Gray Creek retreat where they enjoyed boating and beach coming along Kootenay Lake. He and his wife enjoyed golfing and exploring the

various courses in our area. Rod loved music and time with friends and family. Left to cherish his memory: his wife of 43 years Sue Pettypiece and all her family, his two daughters Marcy and Lisa, brother Don Pet-typiece and his family, along with many friends and extended family. Rod was predeceased by his father Orville Pettypiece, his Mother Vera Mizen and his step-father Harry Mizen. A tribute to Rod will be held at the McPherson's Funeral Home in Cranbrook at 2pm on Friday, April 11th.Memorial donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, 19-9th Ave. S. Cranbrook BC V1C 2L9. We wish to express our thanks to all our friends and family who stood by and to the medical professionals who cared for Dad during his illness.

Sattva Training, Now at Core Fitness:

Sattva Training Centre start-ed as an independent training studio situated near Cran-brook. We offered tailored training programs based on posture, range of motion (mus-cle length/tension) and primal pattern assessments which consist in looking at seven key movements that are necessary for survival in our develop-mental environment. Those

movements are: squat, lunge, push, pull, bend, twist and gait.

The creation of our programs is based on the train-ing philosophy developed by Paul Chek, an interna-tionally renowned expert in the field of corrective and high-performance exercise kinesiology. These programs are always preceded by an in-depth inqui-ry of a person’s physical imbalances in order to re-store optimal posture through exercise and/or life-style changes. The ultimate goal of such a method is to bring clients closer to their genetic potential, in other words, closer to their hidden inner athlete. In addition, all programs include a Holistic Lifestyle Coaching aspect which addresses elements such as stress levels, what you eat, when you eat, optimal hydration, as well as sleep and wake cycles.

We are excited to announce that our training prac-tice can now be found at Core Fitness. The part-nership between Core Fitness and Sattva Training will offer the best of both worlds: access to a great variety of training and cardio equipment as well as our tailored “CHEK” approved programs and appraisals. We will also offer new packages such as “Group Training Assessments & Program Cre-ation” as well as “Semi-Private Training Sessions”.

Come to Core Fitness to inquire about our ap-praisals, programs and packages, or call/message Aurélie Wiedemann at 250-464-4046 to book a consultation. You can also e-mail Aurélie at [email protected]

With one million of its new high-tech drivers’ licences in use, the B.C. government is preparing to use them for access to medical records, apply-ing for student loans and a range of other uses.

The new driver’s li-cence was introduced a year ago, with a digital chip that replaces the existing medical Care-Card system. The health ministry estimated that there were more than nine million CareCards in circulation, about twice as many as there are residents of B.C.

Andrew Wilkinson, minister of technology, innovation and citizens’ services, released results of a public consulta-tion on the new cards this week. With digital security similar to bank cards, he said the pub-lic appears prepared to use them to apply for prescription renewals, birth, death and mar-riage certificates, voter registration and criminal records checks.

Secure online access to such government services would require passwords to be issued, “robust” computer pro-grams to be completed and at least half of B.C. residents to have the new cards, Wilkinson said. They are being is-sued as current drivers’ licences expire, and the new services could be available by the end of 2015.

Proof of identity for medical care may also be used for online book-ing of medical appoint-ments.

“First of all we need to make sure that only people who are entitled to health care services in British Columbia are getting them, and sec-ondly we have to make sure that we have the right person, the right John Smith who shows up in the emergency room after an accident and can’t speak for him-self,” Wilkinson said. “With the services card they’ll have a unique identifier that connects them with the proper medical records and es-tablishes that they’re en-titled to care.”

The cards are issued to replace the current driver’s licences, for the same $75 fee. For people who don’t drive, a similar card with only medical identity is avail-able at no charge.

Kia taking on the small cars from the big guys

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIFORNIA – Kia rounds out its attack on the country’s best-sell-ing cars with the launch of the final two models to the Forte lineup.Last year Kia introduced their all-new Forte sedan to compete with such top sellers as the Honda Civic, Mazda3, Toyota Corolla and Hyun-dai Elantra. This week, the 5-door hatchback version called Forte5 and the coupe, called Forte Koup begin arriving in dealerships.The launch of these two vehicles took us from Huntington Beach, California, through the mountains and desert to Borrego Springs and then back through the mountains to San Diego. The terrain varies from massive California highways to very twisty mountain passes and vast desert valleys. Stunning scenery and a recommended drive for any sightseer or driving enthusiast. LooksThe Forte5 is the more practical of the two new Kias with a hatchback design that sets it apart from the competition. Many competitors don’t offer a hatch so this is sure to be noticed by people who need extra storage and passenger room. Sold with a new base 2.0L engine or an optional 1.6L turbo engine, there are varied looks depending on which trim is chosen. The non-turbo Forte5 gets a front grille similar to the sedan with a smaller lower intake and a larger grille opening. The Forte5 SX turbo gets the same grille as the Koup, with the opposite

front treatment, a bigger lower opening and a smaller, more aggressive grille. The great news is that all Forte5 and Koup models come with alloy wheels; 16-inches on the Forte5 and 18-inch alloys on the turbo version. The Koup has 17-inch base alloys or 18-inches on the turbo.InsideI drove the top Turbo version of the Forte5 and the base, non-turbo version of the Koup. Both have an amazing level of interior refinement. If you have ever questioned that Kia knows how to make good quality cars, just look at these new products. The switches and dials look and feel first rate and the layout is logical and easy to use. Koup can actually fit adults up to six feet. The dash has either a conventional radio layout with a smaller screen but when the backup camera is added on either model, the screen jumps to 6-inch-es and becomes a touchscreen device. If the buyer wants the navigation system, then the top turbo model with luxury package is needed. The front seats sit high off the floor for good outward visibility. What continues to amaze me is the level of equipment Kia offers from standard Bluetooth and satellite radio to optional heated and cooled seats, heated rear seats, heated steering wheel, power folding outside mirrors and more. True luxury touches.DriveKia has put some punch into both the base and turbo versions of the Forte5 and Koup. The base engine is a large 2.0L direct injection engine with 173hp. In comparison, the top selling Civic has 143hp. The turbo model gets a 1.6L direct

injection engine with a solid 201hp and 195 lb.-ft. of torque that comes on at a very low 1750 RPM. The turbo also gets a stiffer suspension, bigger wheels, sharper steering feel and shorter gear ratios from first to third gear. This makes the car livelier and handles better but it also makes the car a bit twitchy on the highway when driving straight.

The base 2.0L would be my choice. 173hp is loads for a car of this size and the smaller wheels and less aggressive suspension might be a better day-to-day driver. Ei-ther way, Kia has kicked things up a notch and both are fun to drive and never feel underpowered.

VerdictThe Forte5 starts at $19,495 and tops out at $28,395 for a turbo with navigation. The Koup comes with a few extra standard features and it runs from $20,895-$28,695. Some might think that the higher end models are getting expensive but they have features such as dimming rearview mirrors, power outside mirrors and heated rear seats that are not generally avail-able in this class.Kia has been growing steadily since it entered Canada 15 years

ago, and with new products like the Forte5 and Koup, there’s no reason to believe the trend will [email protected]

Five misleading car names

A12 www.kootenayadvertiser.com/www.drivewaycanada.ca Monday, April 7, 2014 Kootenay News Advertiser

By Rob Sass

Few things in the develop-ment of a new car are more crucial than the name.

In the case of a bland or mediocre car, it’s the last chance the marketers have to generate some buzz. That may well be why some of the most ordinary cars have wound up with some of the fiercest and flashiest names. Here are five inappropriately named cars:

1. Chevrolet Sprint — The Sprint was built by Suzuki for Chevrolet. Powered by a rather anemic three-cylinder engine, its acceleration off the line resembled not so much a sprint but more of a drunken stumble. Its Suzuki-badged counterpart was known by an equally inappropriate name, the Swift.

2. Mercury Bobcat — A bobcat is a rather fierce North American wild cat. The Mercu-ry Bobcat, on the other hand, was essentially a fancy Ford Pinto over laden with chrome trim and other options that added on additional pounds, sacrificing what little perfor-mance the Pinto possessed. While the feline Bobcat is plentiful in the wild, the Mer-cury version is all but extinct.

3. Hyundai Excel — The Excel was first car sold by Hyundai in the U.S., and given the top-to-bottom excel-lence of the current Hyundai lineup, it’s probably a car they’d prefer to forget. Other than cheapness, the Excel es-

sentially excelled at nothing — unless someone handed out an award for “crudest interior” or “oddest-smelling plastic.”

4. AMC Hornet — The hor-net is one pugnacious insect,

and as anyone who has ever been on the wrong side of one can attest, they definitely can sting. With the exception of the rare S/C 360 version from 1971, the AMC Hornet was a pleasant-looking and practi-

cal compact sedan/wagon/hatchback without much of a sting.

5. Hudson Jet — Jet planes were on the mind of nearly every car designer and ad man in the U.S. during the

1950s. Fins, bogus jet intakes, jet exhausts and jet hood or-naments found their way onto countless cars from that de-cade. Curiously, the Jet wasn’t among them. There was noth-ing even slightly swoopy or

jet-like about the Hudson Jet. It was a thoroughly upright and conventional compact from a company that later became part of American Mo-tors.

Dart GT could be edgier but delivers value

By Alexandra Straub

The Dodge Dart has held its own in a sporty compact segment where competition is fierce.

Perhaps it is because of its value, the various engine choices or that it has some pretty cool features (like available under-the-front-seat-cushion storage) and a fresh style – inside and out – the Dart seems to be a hit.

Two years in, Chrysler has loaded it up with an engine full of gusto, unique styling cues and added a couple of letters on the back and now we have the Dodge Dart GT.

What sets it apart from its siblings are a stretched-down grille and LED headlights. You’ll find the rear clad with the ‘Racetrack’ LED lights that run the full length of the trunk.

Then there’s a set of 18-inch wheels come standard on this vehicle along with a 2.4L, MultiAir, 4-cylinder

Tigershark engine, matched with a 6-speed manual trans-mission, that brings to the pavement 184 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque.

Of all the characteristics I like about this trim of Dart, I think its transmission is the weakest link. In previous re-views of other Dart models – like the 1.4L, Turbocharged version with 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque – the gear throws are, in my opin-ion, too long to really give it that edge and sporty vibe that it needs to compete with vehicles like the VW GTI, Hon-da Civic Si or even the Ford Focus ST. The gear throws are long and the clutch has little weight to it, taking away the performance aspect of the GT that it should have.

On the flip side, the light clutch works favourably in the urban environment. This setup makes being stuck in traffic bearable.

Getting back to the gear-box, I really wanted to like the Dart more. I really did. So I concocted scenarios in my mind to figure out a way to not be so sad about its lack of panache.

I think I found one. Buyers of the GT will like what they get for the value.

After all, it has a start-ing MSRP of $21,995. That’s thousands less than the aforementioned competitors.

And some buyers of vehi-cles who want that extra kick don’t necessarily need all the sports sedan-like characteris-tics. They want power but in a comfortable and affordable package.

Furthermore, they enjoy added touches like a leath-

er-wrapped heated steer-ing wheel, GT specific sport leather seats, a Parkview rear backup camera and more.

The interior has a pleasant look to it and it’s very agree-able to drive.

On the highway, special at-tention from designers and engineers were paid to make sure you drive in a quiet cabin.

Minimal road noise entered the GT’s cabin, allowing my passengers and I to enjoy the musical stylings of various bands being listened to on the Alpine premium stereo system with nine speakers (an additional $1,295 for this sun and sound package.) The sun portion of the package adds a power express open/close sunroof to the mix.

After I switched into this mindset, I found I was able to alleviate my frustrations of what the GT didn’t have, but what it did have.

Additionally, a feature that I love about the Dart – and all other Dodge/Jeep/Chrys-

ler products – is the Ucon-nect media interface. The GT comes standard with the 8.4-inch touchscreen and is a dream to work with. Large icons, easy prompts and a no-fuss approach to pairing your handheld device to the Bluetooth system all come standard.

Whether taking the GT for a drive in the city or on the open road, it does have some solid legs to stand on.

Noodling on the web one morning I found out that I was selling vehicles illegally. If I was in the business of selling, I need to be licensed as a dealer.Oh well. Everything’s been working out just fi ne for me. I skated through those recent bad deals. My previous sales were a distant memory – I was eager to start selling more. So, I decided to up my game a bit. I got a low-end truck and a car from an auction and another car from a new parking lot friend. I put ads for all three vehicles on Craigslist. Of course my ads said they were all real gems. You’d think people might see through my ads. “Need to sell fast, so price is fl exible. Call with best offer.” And my cell number was the same for all three. Would anybody notice?The fi rst two cheaper vehicles sold quickly.The last one took a bit longer to sell. Of course, it was the one I was most eager to sell. Why, you ask?Well, not that I passed the information along, but the auction provided vehicle history reports for the fi rst two. I had no information on the last.So, I bought ICBC and CarProof vehicle history reports. I wanted to educate myself. To my surprise, there was a statement in both reports that the vehicle was possibly “stolen*.”I knew I had to sell it fast. I mean, I’d paid for it and I knew my new “friend” wouldn’t take it back.Four days later, I got a call from a young

woman. She asked if the car would fi t a family of four. “Defi nitely!” I practically screamed. I was a wreck during this sale. I just needed to get rid of this car – fast. I told the nice lady the details of the car. Apart from being stolen, it was pretty nice!I told her I was in a hurry to visit my mum in the hospital. She was in a hurry too – her three-year-old was anxious, pulling at her pant legs. She seemed to not want to be there as much as me. Finally, she agreed to buy the car. Phew! I was saved. Whatever happens next, I don’t care. It’s her problem not mine.I quickly changed my phone number (again). Weeks later, I saw her on the news – with kid still at pant legs – talking to a reporter. Apparently, the car was towed away by the police. And yes, she was trying to fi nd me. Had I covered my tracks? I agonized.

*How can a stolen vehicle be sold? Curbers often break the law by bridging a title. Instead of registering a vehicle in their name within 10 days after a purchase, as required, they leave it in the name of the previous owner. This keeps their name out of the chain of title and from being caught with a stolen vehicle or one that would not be able to be registered or insured for another reason.

‡ EyeSight™ is a driver-assist system, which may not operate optimally under all driving conditions and may not react in every situation. The system is not designed as a substitute for due care and attention to the road, and the driver is always responsible for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors such as vehicle maintenance, and weather and road conditions. Finally, even with the advanced technology activated, a driver with good vision and who is paying attention will always be the best safety system. See Owner’s Manual for complete details on system operation and limitations. EyeSight™ is available on the 2014 Outback 2.5i Limited Package (ED2 LE) or 3.6R Limited Package (ED2 LE6). ▲Ratings of “Good” are the highest rating awarded for performance in five safety tests (moderate overlap front, small overlap front, side, rollover and rear) conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) (www.iihs.org). To earn a 2013 TOP SAFETY PICK+, a vehicle must receive a “Good” rating in at least four of the five tests and a “Good” or “Acceptable” rating in the fifth test. †Fuel consumption figure rating posted by Natural Resources Canada of 6.5 L/100 km (highway) for a 2014 Subaru Outback equipped with continuously variable automatic transmission and a 60 L fuel tank capacity. Fuel consumption figure should only be used for vehicle comparison purposes. Actual fuel consumption will vary based on driving conditions, driver habits and vehicle load. *MSRP of $28,495 on 2014 Outback 2.5i Convenience Package (ED1 CP). MSRP excludes Freight & PDI of $1,650. Taxes, license, registration and insurance are extra. $0 security deposit. Dealers may sell for less or may have to order or trade.

Dear Reader:After I get this off my chest,

I am going to feel a whole lot better but I doubt you will.

For it is my hope that you will be mad as hell and want to tell. We will get to that later so bear with me.

I have been writing about cars, driving, and traffic safe-ty for more than 25 years. I got into by accident, no pun intended. I had been cover-ing the often-grisly crime beat for some years when the

late Vancouver Police Supt. John Lucy told me in the late 80s that he was transferring to the traffic division.

I blanched. This guy had set up the strike force and dealt with vice in the big city. “You want blood and guts, Mor-gan, come and talk to me in traffic,” he said dramatically.

I did and he was absolutely right. The needless carnage on our roads was, and is to this day, almost unbeliev-able. I say almost because the more you observe human nature the less incredible motoring mayhem appears.

Big John had a common sense response for such reckless behaviour: “Supper is served at the same time every night . . . . is it really worth the risk just so you can sit around and wait an extra five minutes before heading to the table?”

Simple math reveals that in order to shave even five minutes off a typical com-mute you have to exceed the speed limit excessively and run some very late reds.

That kind of driving drives me crazy and now we get to the nub of this column. Tell-ing you what sends me off the edge is a form of ther-apy that invariably evolves into group therapy. Hence, our weekly “What Drives U Crazy?” spot in Driveway, in which we encourage you

to reveal what poor driving habits, send you off the deep end.

Your correspondent also has a less selfish wish that by identifying this appalling behaviour we could educate the sources of our collec-tive annoyance. I know that might be considered dream-ing but let’s give it the old college try.

When I talk about what burns me at gatherings, people usually say “don’t get me started” then proceed to regale me with their pet peeves. As that is the pur-pose of this exercise, let me get you started!

Five things that drive me nuts, a short putt I know.

1. Those who either won’t move more than their front

wheels into an intersection on a green light or remain behind the line.

2. Drivers who let cars stack up behind them because they want to make a left over a solid white centre line.

3. Weaver birds who race down the curb lane then cut into traffic when they near a parked car.

4. Impatient folks who try

to swing around you danger-ously as you proceed to park at the curbside.

5. People who signal a left as the light changes to green . . . .

That last example makes me want to ram the offender through the intersection. Many more manouevres needle me. However, I’ll get off the couch now because

I think I may have got you riled enough to share your road rage.

What Drives U Crazy? – Tell me. You will feel much better for having done so. I promise.

‘‘People do the most stupid things to get one car length ahead and take enormous risks such as running red lights just to get home early for dinner.’’Keith Morgan

The world’s most fuel-effi-cient hybrid car, the Volkswa-gen XL1, will go on display in in London alongside other Designs of the Year award nominees.

A team led by Klaus Bischoff, Head of Design for VW, designed the Volkswa-gen XL1. It is a limited series production two-seater car that explores the limits of energy efficiency for a road-legal production vehicle.

The design brief for the XL1 was to produce a ‘one litre’ car – that is to say, a car that uses one litre of fuel per 100 km. The resulting vehicle uses just 0.9 litres per 100 km.

To achieve this fuel con-sumption figure, the XL1 was aerodynamically optimised, adopting the classic ‘tear drop’ shape and utilising in-novations such as removing traditional wing mirrors and replacing them with small cameras called e-Mirrors which transmit exterior im-ages to interior displays.

For more details on the XL1, visit www.volkswagen.co.uk.

• Local 250-426-6661 • Toll Free 1-888-426-6665 • DLR#586535

By Bob McHugh

Marseille, France – The mid-sized C-Class is the most popular and affordable Mer-cedes-Benz sedan and about 8.5 million of them have been produced, since it was origi-nally introduced in 1993.

Mercedes engineering typi-cally operates on a seven-year “circle of life” production run and an all-new generation of C-Class will arrive in Canada, as a 2015 model year vehicle, this summer.

In brief, it’s a bigger and better C-Class, however, real progress is in the details. This C-Class is lighter, safer, comes with a choice of two more powerful (yet more fuel-effi-cient) new engines, uses even more advanced technologies, plus its body is more aerody-namic and, to my eyes, better looking. The South of France global launch location, even though I had to share it with over 800 other auto hacks, was another nice bonus - more later...

There’s no pricing available at this time, but we do know the initial trim levels offered in Canada will be a C300 and a C400. A sporty AMG edition, called the C63, will also be added to the line in January 2015. Although not official, a diesel edition is also ex-

pected to be added in 2015. At this event Mercedes was also showing a Euro-destined hybrid-diesel edition.

An optional (Airmatic) air suspension is offered for the first time in C-Class. It allows a driver to choose between Comfort, Eco, Sport, and Sport+ settings via an Agility Select switch on the console. The 4MATIC all-wheel drive system is, as before, the other major option. Also available is a Sport Package that includes AMG trim upgrades, wheels and front brake system.

The C-class has classic rear-drive vehicle proportions with a long hood (with a choice of two front grilles) and a short rear deck. It looks like a smaller version of the top-line, and redesigned last year, S-class, especially the new LED headlights and taillights. Compared to the current C-Class it’s longer, lower and wider and is now close in size to a 90s E-Class. Its extended wheelbase also helps create more interior space, especially for rear seat passengers.

The big change under-hood is a four-cylinder turbo-charged 2.0-litre, in the C300, that’s max rated at 235 horse-power and 273 lb-ft of torque. While it produces more power than the outgoing base V6, I found the initial power surge, when you push on the gas pedal, overly aggressive. In fairness, the North American edition will come with differ-ent throttle mapping.

The twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 in the C400, on the other hand, is a beauty. It can pump-out up to 329 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. More importantly, it does so in a quieter, smoother and effortless fashion that most drivers expect when at the wheel of a Mercedes. Both engines come with idle fuel saving start/stop systems and are mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission.

The list of standard and available high-tech active

safety features is simply amazing. It includes almost everything that’s available in the top-line S-Class, which is touted as the world’s saf-est car. Intelligent Drive is an optional suite of technologies that includes autonomous braking with pedestrian rec-ognition, a low-speed heavy traffic auto-pilot feature, active parking assist and a 360-degree camera setup with numerous views of im-mediate surroundings.

Bordering on frivolous, there’s an Air-Balance in-car perfuming system ... to pro-long that new-car Mercedes smell. Another one is a GPS-linked climate-control system tech feature that automati-cally switches it to “recircula-tion” mode when a C-Class is driven into a tunnel.

The test drive actually did include a few tunnels and there are lots of them in and under Marseille. It’s the sec-ond largest city in France and its busiest port with numer-ous ferries to other Mediter-ranean destinations.

Our drive route took us out of the city on a circular mostly rural route around the out-skirts of Marseille and ended at the picturesque small harbor community of Cassis. A mountain drive along the Route des Cretes (Route of the Ridges) was spectacular. It’s a narrow, winding high-elevation road with pull-offs at numerous view locations.

Even with the (100 kg) weight reduction, this C-Class is sublimely stable on the road. The switch to a full elec-tronic assist rack and pinion steering system, called Direct Steer, is also flawless. There are fuel economy and active safety benefits.

Inside the seating is typical Mercedes with easy to find power controls on the door panel. Generous in size, yet excellent support and a good range of adjustable elements didn’t give my weak back a reason to complain, even af-

ter many hours of driving. The restyled dash is an el-

egant and less fussy design, thanks mainly to a new Touch-pad controller that eliminates a multitude of switches. It can

recognise both single and multi-finger gestures, wiping movements, zoom finger ges-tures, even user handwriting.

That said, the stand-alone display screen looks out of

place, as if an afterthought I-Pad was attached to the dash.

Overall, this C-Class is sure to please both purists and newcomers. Superbly engi-neered, technically sophisti-

cated and pleasure to drive.

I am quite sure most of you have seen the rather large red Dragon that has been fl ying over the south side of Cran-brook for the better part of 4 months. I am looking for someone to: lure said dragon away from south side of town, force said dragon to land, slay said dragon in whatever way you see fi t. No actual pay, but experience of one million points that should get you a few level ups. Please note that I’m not talking about the green Dragon that frequents the area from time to time, she and I have an agreement.

Menno Dueck

by Menno DueckHome warranty insurance is

construction defect insurance, provided on new single-family and multi-family homes built for sale in BC, and protects against various construction defects for specific periods of time. Quality standards are always up to each individual contractor/builder.

Residential builders are licensed through the Homeowner Protection Office (HPO), a branch of BC Housing. HPO “serves buyers of new homes and people arranging for new homes to be built, homeowners (particularly owners of homes covered by home warranty insurance), developers, residential builders, building envelope renovators and owner builders”.

Home warranty insurance coverage, better known as 2-5-10 home warranty insurance includes 2 years coverage on materials and labour, 5 years coverage on the building envelope (components that separate indoor from outdoor such as exterior walls, foundation, roof, windows and doors), 10 years coverage on building structural defects. Check out www.hpo.bc.ca for further information, descriptions and limitations.

Warranty applies to the home, not the owner and is automatically transferred to the new owner if sold within the warranty period. If purchasing a resale, review the policy, confirm coverage expiry dates and ask the owner for a claims history report. You might

consider making this a condition of sale. The New Homes Registry, online at HPO, will tell you whether the house has a policy, who the carrier is, or if the home was “owner built”.

Owner builders are authorized by HPO to build a new home for their personal use, are not required to be licensed by HPO nor arrange for 3rd party home warranty insurance on that home. An owner builder must “build or directly manage the construction of their new home themselves. If an owner builder engages a builder, construction manager, project manager, or any third party to perform these functions, both the owner builder and the hired construction manager/builder are committing offences” and could face fines and/or prosecution. Owner builders do not usually have home warranty insurance to rely on in case of construction defects, nor would subsequent purchasers; the owner builder is ultimately responsible for a period of 10 years.

With the exception of a few special circumstances, an owner-built home may not be offered for sale, sold, or rented any earlier than one year after the new home has been built; the intention is for the home to be for personal use. HPO has a well detailed information bulletin for owner builders on their website.

Buying a House? Should You Have A Home Inspection?

Approximately 75% of residential real estate

transactions involve a li-cenced Home Inspector.

Knowledge before you buy allows you to make informed decisions and avoid costly surprises.

A licensed Home In-spector will inspect and document the condition, and end of life of the es-sential components of a house.

Roofing: Is the roof

covering at the end of its life? Is the roof leaking, or likely to leak around chimneys, vents, sky-lights, valleys and flash-ings?

Exterior: In what con-ditions are the siding, windows, doors, decks, steps, and hand rails? Are safety standards met? Are there signs of water penetration or damage from poor lot grading?

Interior: In what con-dition are walls, floors, ceilings, handrails, in-sulation and vapor bar-

riers?Plumbing: What is the

condition of the plumb-ing? Is there enough water flow and pressure; proper venting of the plumbing fixtures? Is there evidence of leaks? How old is the water tank?

Structure: Is there any evidence of structural failure? Are there sags, bowing, leaning, cracks in the foundation walls and floors? Of utmost importance, are there subtle signs of water penetration that may contribute to deteriora-tion of the building?

HVAC Systems: What are the type, age, and condition of the furnace and air conditioning components, filters and ducts? What is the ex-pected life span of these crucial components?

Electrical: What con-dition and type of wiring is in the house? Is the electrical system proper-ly grounded? Does the electrical panel and wir-ing meet safety codes? Your insurance com-pany will want to know.

Attic & Crawl Spaces: What is the type and thickness of insulation used in the attic and walls? What is the in-sulation ‘R Value’ of the roof and walls? This will affect your heating costs. What kind of attic/roof venting is used; is there evidence of leaks or condensation?

This is only a partial list to consider when buying a home. There is plenty more to inspect.

A visual, non-destruc-tive Home Inspection will help you identify the present condition of the home before your purchase is finalized and allow you to make an informed decision to avoid costly repairs or upgrades after you have purchased the house.

Should you have a Home Inspection?

After all, it’s your money.
