Candidates for munic-ipal and school board elections will have to register with Elections BC and report dona-tions of $50 or more when they run in prov-ince-wide elections this

November.Legislation tabled by

the B.C. government Wednesday will extend the term of office to four years as well as tighten-ing rules for campaign financing and advertis-ing. Third-party adver-tisers will also have to

register before promot-ing candidates, and fi-nancial disclosures will have to be filed with Elections BC within 90 days of the vote.

Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Coralee Oakes said the new rules have

been developed in con-sultation with the Union of B.C. Municipalities, and that discussion de-termined that an out-right ban on anonymous donations is too strict. The disclosure rule will

Campaign spending limits won’t be imposed until after the elections scheduled for Nov. 15, 2014. Oakes said that measure is complex be-cause the variety of lo-cal governments in B.C.

is the widest in Canada, including large and small communities, re-gional districts, school boards, park boards and the Islands Trust that governs the Gulf Islands.

The legislation also moves the date of local elections from Novem-ber to October, but that won’t take effect until 2018.

UBCM president Rhona Martin, a direc-

tor of the Columbia Shuswap Regional Dis-trict, said the move to four-year terms is not a “perfect solution,” but it was supported by a majority of delegates at last year’s conven-tion. In previous votes, some small community representatives said even three-year terms may be too long for a time-consuming com-mitment with little pay.

The change in report-

ing rules creates a large task of compliance and enforcement for Elec-

tions BC. Oakes said the Elections BC will present its proposed

costs to the legislature committee that deter-mines budgets for all

independent officers, including the Auditor General.

MUSHROOMSWhat are the street names/slang

terms for Mushrooms?Caps, Magic mushrooms, Mush-

rooms, Psilocybin & Psilocyn, Shrooms.

What are Mushrooms?Psilocybin and psilocyn are the

hallucinogenic principles con-tained in certain mushrooms. These “magic” mushrooms are generally grown in Mexico and Central America and have been used in native rituals for thousands of years. Psilocybin is structurally similar to serotonin, and produc-es its effects by disrupting normal functioning of the sero-tonin system.

What do they look like?Dried mushrooms.How are they used?Mushrooms can be eaten, brewed and consumed as tea.What are their short-term effects?Once ingested, mushrooms generally cause feelings of

nausea before the desired mental effects appear. The high from using magic mushrooms is mild and may cause al-tered feelings and distorted perceptions of touch, sight, sound and taste. Other effects can include nervousness and paranoia. Effects can be different during each use due to varying potency, the amount ingested, and the user’s expectations, mood, surroundings, and frame of mind. On some trips, users experience sensations that are enjoyable. Others can include terrifying thoughts, and anxiety, fears of insanity, death, or losing control.

MARijUAnAWhat are the street names/

slang terms for Marijuana?Aunt Mary, Boom, Chronic

(Marijuana alone or with crack), Dope, Gangster, Ganja, Grass, Hash, Herb, Kif, Mary jane, Pot, Reefer, Sinsemilla, Skunk, Weed.

What is Marijuana?Marijuana, the most often used illegal drug in this coun-

try, is a product of the hemp plant, Cannabis sativa. The main active chemical in marijuana, also present in other forms of cannabis, is THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol). Of the roughly 400 chemicals found in the cannabis plant, THC affects the brain the most.

What does it look like?Marijuana is a green or gray mixture of dried, shredded

flowers and leaves of the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa).How is it used?Most users roll loose marijuana into a cigarette called

a “joint”. Weed can be smoked in a water pipe, called a “bong”, or mixed into food or brewed as tea. it has also ap-peared in cigars called “blunts”.

What are its short-term effects?Short-term effects of marijuana include problems

with memory and learning, distorted perception (sights, sounds, time, touch), trouble with thinking and problem solving, loss of motor coordination, increased heart rate, and anxiety.These effects are even greater when other drugs are mixed with weed. A user may also experience dry mouth and throat.

COCAinEWhat are the street names/slang

terms for Cocaine?Big C, Blow, Coke, Flake, Freebase,

Lady, nose Candy, Rock, Snow, Snow-birds, White Crack.

What is Cocaine?Cocaine is a drug extracted from the leaves of the coca

plant. it is a potent brain stimulant and one of the most powerfully addictive drugs.

What does it look like?Cocaine is distributed on the street in two main forms:

cocaine hydrochloride is a white crystalline powder and “crack” is cocaine hydrochloride that has been processed with ammonia or sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and water into a freebase cocaine - chips, chunks, or rocks.

How is it used?Cocaine can be snorted or dissolved in water and inject-

ed. Crack can be smoked.What are its short-term effects?Short-term effects of cocaine/crack include constricted

peripheral blood vessels, dilated pupils, increased tem-perature, heart rate, blood pressure, insomnia, loss of appetite, feelings of restlessness, irritability, and anxiety. Duration of cocaine’s immediate euphoric effects, which include energy, reduced fatigue, and mental clarity, de-pends on how it is used. The faster the absorption, the more intense the high. However, the faster the absorption, the shorter the high lasts.The high from snorting may last 15 to 30 minutes, while that from smoking crack cocaine may last 5 to 10 minutes. Cocaine’s effects are short lived, and once the drug leaves the brain, the user experiences a “coke crash” that includes depression, irritability, and fa-tigue.

ECSTASyWhat are the street names/slang

terms for Ecstasy?Adam, E, Roll, X, XTC.What is Ecstasy?MDMA or Ecstasy (3-4-methylene-

dioxymethampheta-mine), is a synthetic drug with amphet-amine-like and hallucinogenic properties. it is classified as a stimulant.

What does it look like?Ecstasy comes in a tablet form that is often branded, e.g. Play-

boy bunnies, nike swoosh, CKHow is it used?Taken in pill form, users sometimes take Ecstasy at “raves,”

clubs and other parties to keep on dancing and for mood enhancement.

What are its short-term effects?Users report that Ecstasy produces intensely pleasurable

effects – including an enhanced sense of self-confidence and energy. Effects include feelings of peacefulness, acceptance and empathy. Users say they experience feelings of close-ness with others and a desire to touch others. Other effects can include involuntary teeth clenching, a loss of inhibitions, transfixion on sights and sounds, nausea, blurred vision, chills and/or sweating. increases in heart rate and blood pressure, as well as seizures, are also possible. The stimulant effects of the drug enable users to dance for extended periods, which when combined with the hot crowded conditions usually found at raves, can lead to severe dehydration and hyper-thermia or dramatic increases in body temperature. This can lead to muscle breakdown and kidney, liver and cardiovascu-lar failure. Cardiovascular failure has been reported in some of the Ecstasy-related fatalities. After-effects can include sleep problems, anxiety and depression.

The Community Prevention Education Continuum (C.P.E.C) is in partnership with our whole community and includes: Ankors, Canadian Mental Health Association, East Kootenay Addiction Services,Child and Youth Mental Health, MCFD, Family and Youth Centres, RCMP and School District 5 and 6 plus many volunteers and various programs.These groups help to educate and are involved in prevention education for youth in a continuum stretching from Kindergarten to Grade 12.

Ann Hoodicoff is the Fi-nancial Services Manager for Denham Ford, and repre-sents them for their Platinum Sponsorship of Speak Your Mind, The 2014 Kootenay Women’s Show.

Q: Car sales is a fairly male-dominated industry. Are there advantages or dif-ficulties in being a woman in your position at the com-pany?

A: I agree that in Cran-brook it can be a fairly male-dominated industry, howev-er, at Denham we are always looking to add women to our team. As I am the Financial Services Manager, I deal with the clients after the sale is agreed upon. I then walk them through the financing process and discuss all of the additional options that are available to them. I don’t be-lieve there are advantages/or difficulties in being a woman in my role with Denham, rather it’s more characteris-tics. Above all you have to be customer oriented, be able to really listen to what the

client wants or needs, be able to clearly explain options, be detail oriented and of course work with the financial insti-tutions to get the best finance option available for the cus-tomer in a timely manner.

Q: There can be some fear in purchasing a new vehicle. What questions can a woman ask of their sales person to make it a better experience all round?

A: Purchasing a vehicle can be a stressful situation for some people. I believe that knowledge is the best thing to arm yourself with. Ask all the questions you can. A good salesperson will take the time needed to answer all questions and address any concerns that the customer might have. The sales pro-cess has changed a lot over the years and at Denham we really strive listen to the cus-tomer and to explain all of the options and features that a vehicle has. The customer might want to give thought to how they will use the ve-hicle, for example, are there kids? Will they need room

for sports equipment? Do they need four wheel drive? What kind of payment are they budgeting for? Is gas mileage a priority?

Q: Why has Denham Ford shown such support for this and other Kootenay Wom-en’s Shows?

A: Denham Ford believes in community first and fore-most. They are contributors on many different levels. That said, they support the Kootenay Women’s shows as they believe that women are major decision makers. More women are purchas-ing vehicles than ever before and if they aren’t the pur-chaser they are often major contributors to the purchas-ing decision. You would be surprised at how many sales are contingent upon the wife’s approval. I initially came to Denham Ford as customer and chose Denham Ford specifically because of the way I was treated. They quickly determined I was the buyer and asked me what I was looking for rather than directing all conversation to the male friend I was with. In my personal experience, Denham Ford has been a place that actively promotes my personal and profession-al growth and well-being on many levels. They promote being the best you can be and that’s what the Kootenay Women’s show is all about.

Q: Is there a woman in business, art or other walks of life that has inspired you personally? If so, why?

A: There are so many peo-ple who have inspired me. I believe different people are placed in your path for differ-ent reasons. Professionally, Lori Sissons, whom I worked with for many years when I was in banking, taught me so much about customer service and going above and beyond. Personally, my Mother, who taught me early on to be strong and independent; to think for myself, to reach for the stars. She taught me how to handle life’s challenges and to never give up. She led by example.

Melanie Hajjar is the Web Marketing Director for Platinum Sponsor, IRIS The Visual Group and re-sponded to questions from the group’s head office con-cerning women and eye care in advance of Speak Your Mind, The 2014 Kootenay Women’s Show.

Q: Are their vision issues that affect women more than men and what can be done about them? “

A: One of the most com-mon concerns of patients that present to Optometry clinics revolve around dry eye symptoms. In the Koo-tenays, these symptoms are exacerbated due to how dry our climate is and our pa-tients present with varying symptoms from mild irrita-tion to severe and debilitat-ing dry eyes that can have a profound effect on their quality of life. Dry eye syn-drome is more common in women than men, especially in women over the age of 40. Another area of optome-try a lot of women ask about

is regarding their concerns for their children’s ocular health.

By their very nature wom-en are more attentive to their children’s health, includ-ing ocular health and visual problems. But what many people do not realize is that there are numerous pediat-ric ocular conditions that too easily and too often go undiscovered and untreated that can have long-lasting and drastic effects on not only a child’s vision, but the course that they take in life. For instance: a 30 year old saw Dr. Langer, Optometrist recently, he reported always having excellent vision but he was a slow reader and “wasn’t book smart” so he avoided reading and further education. During the eye exam Dr. Langer discovered that the cause for his poor reading abilities was not at all due to cognitive ability, but simply excess strain on his visual system dur-ing near tasks. With proper glasses he immediately stated his reading ability

doubled in speed and ease and he was suddenly able to absorb the material much easier and reading is now actually enjoyable for this patient.

Women are often more ac-tive; active with their kids’ school programs and sports teams, their own social net-works, churches, hobbies, volunteer work, etc, and it is this exhaustively active lifestyle that puts their bod-ies - and eyes - through the gauntlet of their schedules every single day. It is only with the proper eyewear so-lutions handpicked for their visual demands that we can achieve the highest level of comfort, efficiency and clarity during their various daily tasks. No one’s eyes are the same, no one’s vi-sual demands are the same, and everyone has their own unique personality and style, so we shouldn’t all be in the same frame and lens solu-tion. This is why at IRIS, we spend a portion of every eye exam getting to know our patients; their hobbies, interests, work environment, all to better understand what we like to call their “IRIS Profile”: what their eyes are going through every day. It is only after know-ing these important details about a person’s everyday activities that we can ac-curately pick a personalized solution to those specific visual demands. Your eyes are unique, your visual de-mands are unique, your taste and style is unique, there-fore your visual solution(s) should be unique as well.

Q: Is there a woman in business or other area of life (arts, culture, sports, etc.) that has inspired you?

A: Shirin Neshat: photog-rapher, videographer, di-rector. I am inspired by her ability to use different medi-as to shed light on and bring world wide attention to the political and social lives of women in Iran.

As per the Integrated Pest Management Act of British Columbia, Section 61(1) this is public notice that:

TransCanada Pipe Lines (TCPL) is performing vegetation management in the regional districts of East Kootenay and Central Kootenay near the communities of Sparwood, Fernie, Elko, Jaffray, Cranbrook, Moyie, Yahk and Kingsgate. A five year program is planned during the growing season of vegetation from 2014 to 2018, as a public and employee safety measure and maintenance procedure. The purpose of the proposed Pest Management Plan (PMP) is to control problem vegetation using the principles of integrated pest management.

Select herbicides will be used at a low rate of application to control growth of unwanted vegetation without affecting other vegetation outside facility areas. TCPL facility areas include compressor station yards, metering facilities and valve sites. This will reduce any potential fire risk, maximize public safety, and allow access to facilities for maintenance and operational data collection. TransCanada’s fenced facilities should only be accessed by authorized personnel. Pay attention to security signs and avoid approaching the sites during herbicide spraying.

Select herbicides may also be used on TransCanada rights-of-way in accordance with the Weed Control Act of the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands by orders from the B.C. Ministry or local jurisdictional authorities.

The trade name and active ingredient of the herbicides to be used are listed in the attached table. The pesticides will be applied by backpack sprayers with wands, trucks with spray tanks and power nozzles, all-terrain vehicles with specialized spray equipment or helicopter with specialized aerial spray equipment. Other methods of vegetation control can be through mowing, brushing or hand-picking.

Reference number: TCPL PMP 2014/2018

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN

Submitted

A report on the forest industry’s harvesting of beetle-killed timber confirms that industry has been meeting gov-ernment’s expectations for concentrating har-vesting on dead pine trees, but says the har-vest of other kinds of trees is increasing more than expected in some areas of the province.

“The switch from har-vesting dead pine trees to live non-pine trees means the mid-term timber supply is start-ing to be cut now and not five to 10 years in the future,” said board chair Tim Ryan. “The issue, simply put, is that the more live trees that are harvested now, the lower the sustain-able harvest level will be after the salvage program is finished. We believe the chief for-ester needs to respond to the rapidly changing situation with timely updates to the allow-able annual cuts.”

The report looks at government’s records of what was harvested throughout the area af-fected by the mountain pine beetle epidemic. “The majority of the pine trees harvested last year were dead, but over the last four years, the total amount of pine in the harvest has been steadily decreasing and was under 60% of the harvest last year,” said Ryan.

The situation in bee-tle-affected forests is changing quickly. The board is encour-aging government to re-evaluate decisions about what should be harvested in those ar-eas, taking into account the current dynamics of salvage harvesting.

The Forest Practices Board is B.C.’s inde-pendent watchdog for sound forest and range practices, reporting its findings and recom-mendations directly to the public and govern-ment. The board can investigate and report on current forestry and range issues and make recommendations for improvement to prac-tices and legislation.

Is beetle-killed timber up to snuff?

This same type of technology, in more advanced form, can also be a powerful tool to help you improve your health. Thermography uses a tem-perature sensitive camera and computer software to capture thermal images of the surface of your skin. Because the skin naturally emits thermal radiation (heat), it is well suited to infrared imaging. For example, the thyroid gland emits heat based on its metabolic activity. If your thyroid is weak, a thermal image of the gland will be cool. Conversely, if the gland is overactive you will see excess heat. Breast ther-mography provides infor-mation on temperature and infrared heat patterns of the breast. Thermography dif-fers from mammography in that it provides information on the biological activity of the breast versus the gross internal anatomy. Infrared imaging is a functional test, whereas mammography is

a structural test. As a func-tional test, thermography can detect breast abnor-malities that other screening methods cannot identify, namely thermal and vascu-lar changes. The increased metabolic activity seen on a breast thermogram can be an indication of injury, mastitis, fibrocystic breast disease or cancer. These functional changes take place before the onset of changes that can occur in diseased or cancerous states. A persistent abnormal thermogram can alert patient and doctor to the need for further investi-gation and identify women who need to be closely moni-tored. Like mammograms, thermography does not diagnose cancer. Last year CBC reported on a clinic in Ontario that was advertis-ing the use of thermography to diagnose cancer, a reck-less and irresponsible claim. When used within the limi-tations of the technology, however, thermography can be a very helpful tool. Thermography is made more appealing in that it is non-invasive, painless and does not expose the patient to radiation.

The Agricultural Land Reserve is being divid-ed into two zones, with regulations to come to allow non-farm home-based businesses outside the southwest regions of high productivity.

The changes affect three of the six regional panels of the Agricul-tural Land Commission, for the Interior, Koote-nay and North regions. Details will be worked out in consultation with industry and placed in regulations, said Bill Bennett, the cabinet minister in charge of the government’s core re-view of programs.

Non-farm uses will not be considered in the Is-land, South Coast and Okanagan regions, but

“value added” activities such as food processing on farmland are being considered across the province, Bennett said.

Bennett and Steve Thomson, acting agri-culture minister, reiterat-ed their assurances that the ALC will continue to operate independently. Commissioners are ap-pointed by cabinet, two or three per region, and decisions can be ap-pealed to the regional chairs who act as an ex-ecutive.

Delta South inde-pendent MLA Vicki Huntington called the Interior zone change “deceitful and a betrayal of the public trust,” and accused the government of removing its obliga-tion to consult with the ALC chair on new panel

appointments.NDP agriculture critic

Nicolas Simons was forced by the speaker to withdraw the term “deceitful” from his re-marks in the legislature, as he accused Bennett of keeping the changes se-cret until after last year’s election.

“The fundamental principle is that the re-serve was set up for the entire province, not for zones here and zones there,” Simons said.

Bennett said the only change to the Interior zones is the addition of “social and economic” factors in considering permitted uses. He gave the example from his Kootenay constituency of a market garden op-erator who was refused permission to build a second home on an un-productive part of the property so the next gen-eration could take over the business.

Rhonda Driediger, chair of the B.C. Ag-ricultural Council and operator of Driediger Farms in Langley, said she is looking forward to the changes that will al-low development of new revenue.

“The ALC is old and it hasn’t been updated in a long time,” Driediger said. “On a day-to-day basis it makes it very difficult in farming, es-pecially when you’re looking to be progres-sive.”

Faye Street, general manager of Kootenay Livestock Association, congratulated the minis-ters “for having the three Bs in the male anatomy to get this done – start-ing at the brain, back-bone and work your way down.”

Street said young farmers are not entering the industry under the current conditions, and allowing them supple-mentary income will help maintain the farm-ers.

According to Cran-brook youth there are three local businesses that they count as the most youth friendly in town. At the upcoming CBKyouth Youth Sur-vey Launch Party they will be showcasing those businesses and summa-ry of the survey results. In November 2013, Big Brothers Big Sisters with CBK Youth asked Cranbrook youth about how youth-friendly our community is. They surveyed more than 350 students from Parkland, Laurie, Kootenay Edu-cational Services, T.M. Roberts, Mount Baker, College of the Rockies, and the homeschooled students to get a snap-shot of where our youth community is right now. At the event CBKyouth will be asking parents, youth, the municipality, local youth service pro-

viders, and passionate community members to strategize the action items that we can work on, together, to make Cranbrook more youth-friendly. The event, on March 31, 2014 at City Hall will also take time to recognize those local businesses that are “Cer-tified Youth Friendly”. The CBKyouth team is excited about the op-portunity to use City Council Chambers for the launch. This is just part of the ongoing sup-port that Mayor Stetski and Council have shown for improving things for Cranbrook’s youth is what helps make proj-ects like this successful.

CBKyouth is the youth project hosted by Big Brothers Big Sis-ters in partnership with the City of Cranbrook, CBAL, Cranbrook Pub-lic Library, United Way and CMHA Kootenays to create more things

for young people to do and to make Cranbrook overall more youth friendly. The overarch-ing goal is that current and future youth pro-gramming will work to-gether to fill the gaps and create new opportunities for young people. This will be done through co-ordination of our current activities, creating new youth opportunities, the coordination of a youth service provider’s net-work and working with a Youth Action Team.

If you want to hear about and recognize what businesses are the most youth friendly places, as well as hear about the youths biggest struggles and the per-centage of youth who feel heard then you’re not going to want to miss out!

The survey launch will be open to the public at City Hall, on March 31st from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. This will be the op-portunity to get the real snapshot of where the youth of Cranbrook feel they are.

About 180,000 B.C. families will be eligible to receive up to $55 per month, or $660 annually, for each child under the age of six when the B.C. Early Childhood Tax Benefit is introduced in April 2015.

What does this mean for families today? To re-ceive the new benefit in 2015, parents need to file their annual income tax returns, starting with the 2013 tax year, and make sure they have applied for the Canada Child Tax Benefit. If your child is already registered for the Canada Child Tax Benefit, you will be au-tomatically signed up to receive the B.C. Early Childhood Tax Benefit, as long as you meet the eligibility requirements.

The maximum benefit will be available to all eligible families with net incomes under $100,000. The benefit will start to phase out at $100,000 and will be fully phased out at $150,000. It is estimated that 140,000 families will receive the full benefit, while an ad-ditional 40,000 families with net incomes over $100,000 will receive a partial benefit.

The new provincial benefit will supplement existing federal benefits, including the Canada Child Tax Benefit, the National Child Benefit Supplement and the Uni-versal Child Care Ben-efit.

Partnership aims to reduce decline of mountain caribou herd

Submitted

An ambitious project to increase calf sur-vival among a herd of mountain caribou in BC’s Southern Colum-bia Mountains is go-ing ahead this spring, thanks to funding and in-kind support from a variety of sources. On Monday, March 24, a team of specialists cap-

tured 12 female caribou and transferred them to a specially built hold-ing pen. There they will be fed and monitored, allowing the calves to be born safe from the species’ many preda-tors. The mothers and their babies will stay in the pen until early July, where the young can grow and gain strength before release back into

the wild.One of the great

strengths of this project is the range of collabo-rators involved, says Cory Legebokow, Presi-dent of the Revelstoke Caribou Rearing in the Wild Society (RCRW). “From government to industry to First Na-tions, from recreational users to resource extrac-tion, diverse interests have been set aside to concentrate on what’s best for this fragile spe-cies.”

RCRW is a communi-ty-based partnership that includes:

Revelstoke Communi-ty Forestry Corporation

North Columbia Envi-ronmental Society

Revelstoke Snowmo-bile Club

Province of BCParks CanadaColumbia Mountains

Caribou Research Proj-ect

Mountain caribou are listed as a threatened species under the Spe-cies at Risk Act and red-listed (threatened) in BC. Mountain caribou numbers in the Revel-stoke area have declined by 70 – 80% over the past decade and current calf-survival rates can-not sustain the species in this region. RCRW is fo-cusing its efforts on the largest and most stable of the local groups, the Columbia North herd.

The maternity penning project is going ahead thanks to funding sup-port from the Govern-ment of Canada, Shell Canada, Parks Canada, Columbia Basin Trust and the Province of BC. In-kind contributions have been made by the Province of BC, Revel-stoke Community Forest Corporation, Parks Can-ada, Selkirk Tangiers Heli-Skiing, Mustang Helicopters, Beaumont Timber, K3 Cat Skiing, board members, and many other businesses and volunteers.

Driveway readers to spend billions to buy a new set of wheels

Driveway readers are in the mood to splash out an astonishing $3.6 billion-plus of their hard-earned cash to buy new vehicles this year.This is not some wild, optimistic pre-diction but a solid

forecast based on what our readers revealed in a comprehensive survey conducted on behalf of Black Press by Pulse Research, a company with 30 years of experience in asking the right questions of consumers. In a series of wide-ranging interviews, Black Press newspaper readers from all over the province gave Pulse a comprehensive account of their spending plans. Their intention to spend $53.1 million on fish and chips, $45.8 million on tooth whitening, $13.1 million on tattoos or piercing, $9.1 million on pet toys and $1.9 million on tuxedos, raised some smiles.But the auto spending intent grabbed our seri-ous attention. A massive 123,275 households will take vehicles for a spin and sign on the dotted line. A massive 51,895 will park a new car on their driveway, 32,312 will house a sport ute in their garage, while another 28,395 will opt for a truck out front. Most people surveyed knew what kind of wheels they would be look-ing for and what they were prepared to pay.

The sticker price range for most folks is $25-$30,000. However, premium car sellers will be pleased that 13,708 plan to spend an average of $45,000 on one of their products. Another 7,883 will shell out an average of $64,413 for refined vehicles in the $50-$75,000 price range. In addition, 2,937 more will spend an average of $82,448 on luxury marques. An eco-conscious 11,750 house-holds will fork out more than $30 grand for a hybrid or electric vehicle. Utilitarian minivans top the shopping list at 9,791 homes, with budgets a shade under $30,000.We even discovered that readers would spend another $2 billion on car servicing, preventive maintenance, oil changes and after-market products. Good news for used car sales: 105,750 households are prepared to spend $1.69 billion on pre-owned, nearly new, or whatever the cur-rent parlance is for second-hand vehicles as they used to be called!Last week, Blair Qualey, the president of the New Car Dealers Association of BC, talked about the importance of his industry to this province in his column here about the Van-couver International Auto Show, which runs until Sunday,

Reacting to the Black Press/Pulse report he said: “Customers today are clearly taking advantage of one of the most exciting times in automotive history. Dealers across BC are focusing like never before on creating a better buying expe-rience – a more enjoyable, more informed and

entertaining experience on-site and online. It’s almost as if dealers are putting on mini Auto Shows every day of the week!”He continued: “There are more than 350 new car dealerships across the province, and new ones popping up all the time, making this industry one of BC’s most important. Not only because they generate more than $10 bil-lion annually in economic activity, but also because they employ directly and indirectly, more than 34,000 full-time people in the more than 50 communities that they serve. The buying intent of Black Press readers is terrific news for our members and the BC economy.

“I can hardly wait for the next few years. Buckle up; it’s going to be an exciting ride.”Count on the Driveway team to supply you the best and most current information each week, and on the drivewaycanada site, to help you make the right decision in your car purchase.

Chrysler wheels out its sedan segment slugger

A12 www.kootenayadvertiser.com/www.drivewaycanada.ca Monday, March 31, 2014 Kootenay News Advertiser

By Alexandra Straub

Louisville, KY. - The 200 is not a new nameplate for Chrysler but the 2015 model is all-new from the ground up.

By Alexandra Straub

This generation of 200 de-buts the new “face of Chrys-ler” with its signature grille and logo. There’s also a stan-dard set of rear LED tailamps, and the interior craftsmanship is much more impressive than before.

This mid-size sedan is hop-ing to play ball – and win – against competitors like the Ford Fusion, Honda Accord, Mazda6 and Toyota Camry, in an ever-aggressive segment.

Using the baseball analogy with the 200 seemed apro-pos since the drive event took place in Louisville, Kentucky, the home of the Louisville slugger.

Nevertheless, here are the meat and potatoes for the all-new vehicle.

There are four trims of 200 available. First is the LX and that has a starting MSRP of $22,995. Then there’s the Lim-ited, the S and the top-of-the-line C model.

Regardless of trim, each comes with an industry first, also known as a 9-speed auto-matic transmission.

My day started behind the wheel of the Limited trim with the 2.4L, 4-cylinder MultiAir engine (MSRP $24,995). This powerplant produces 184 horsepower and 173 lb-ft of torque.

The interior reflects that of thoughtful craftsmanship and design. Soft touch materials are used throughout and the layout is easy on the eyes. Not to mention the abundance of cubbyholes in which to place

personal items.On a side note, the interior

colour combinations drew in-spiration from various Ameri-can cities. For example, the all black interior pays homage to New York City, the Linen and Black is Sausalito, California and the Blue and Black on the S model to Detroit.

The centre stack can be adorned with either a 5-inch touch screen or the optional 8.4-inch. To me, the 5-inch screen seemed a little small, so I’d invest in the larger version. That said, it was still highly functional and easy to use.

On the road, the 2.4L Limited shines brightest when on the highway and on long stretches of pavement. It has ability in the twists and turns, but to re-ally get a dynamic feel, you’d need to opt for the S or C trim to put it in the Sport mode. In that case, you get a different suspension setup and steering feel to really allow you to have more fun in the captain’s chair.

Back to the 2.4L though.In the city, I felt I didn’t need

much more power. Steering feel is light and allows to car the move with ease at slow speeds and gingerly into park-

ing spots. Overall, a pleasant drive.

The second half of my day was consumed with the V6. Yum.

The award winning 3.6L, Pentastar V6 packs 295 horse-power underneath its spar-kling new hood. For a driver’s car, this is the one I’d pick.

What’s more, you can config-ure this engine on all trims ex-cept the base LX. Additionally, you can opt for an all-wheel drive setup too.

However, the AWD system needs to be paired with the V6.

Getting into the sport mode,

or fun mode as I call it, requires pushing down and turning the central dial/gear selector to the right. Make sure you push it down, otherwise it won’t go anywhere. And less fun will be had.

When accelerating, there’s a little bit of a throaty gurgle that comes standard out of the twin exhaust pipes around back. It’s a nice sound and one that I enjoyed hearing over and over again.

One thing I did notice is that the A pillar did have width to it, so visibility is a little trickier out the front. And with its slop-

ing roofline, visibility out the rear could have been better. Thank goodness for the rear-view camera.

Along with its new body-work and insides, there are over 60 standard and available safety features to keep both you and the 200 looking good and in one piece.

The 2015 Chrysler 200 will be available in the second quarter of 2014.

Misty-eyed memories of my first truck

By Ian Harwood

I can remember buying my first truck in 1986 like it was yesterday.

It had to be a specific make and model: I was looking for. A Toyota 4x4 pick-up, black in color and it had to be in good shape. I wanted it to be bone stock with as little mileage as possible.

I found one in the paper that was on the lot at a dealership in Surrey. Quickly I called them to inquire and they said they had a couple of people with deals written up, but it didn’t look like they were going to go through, so if I wanted it I had better get down there right away (Naive at that age to fall for and old trick like this).

I had to get a ride from a friend and I remember it was snowing so it was slow get-ting there. When I arrived it was running and they were anxious for me to drive it. I took it around the block and parked it in a vacant lot, hopped out and started to in-spect it. I immediately noticed rust and some body damage. Clearing the snow off inside the truck box, I could see more damage. It looked like some-one had dropped a bowling ball into it from about a high ledge. I could smell antifreeze and noticed some oil leaks.

I headed back to the dealer-ship disappointed. The sales-man was there to greet me. He asked if I had any concerns and I started to point out the obvious. He quickly dismissed them as cosmetic and said do

you want to write a deal on it because he has people in the showroom wanting to buy it. I told him I was not interested.

On the ride home, I thought how quickly I had to grow up and look at everything as if someone was going to take advantage of me, sad reality. The next day I picked up the latest copy of Truck Trader and spotted the exact make and model I was looking for. I bought the 1983 edition for $9,000 from a family that only used it once a week to drive to Abbotsford and back to Co-quitlam for supplies.

It was perfect; funny how God puts things in your path and everything works out in the end. A week later I started to work on it. I acquired some used 33 inch tires and in-stalled a 4” lift kit. I drove that truck every night after work to show it off.

I washed it so many times I thought the paint was going to come off. A year had past and I purchased many more items for the truck. A major car show was coming up soon and I decided I would put it in the back of the shop and work on it so I could enter it into the show. Giving up my truck for

a month was tough and I had to make a few sacrifices to get around.

My first car show was a hit. I came in second place and I was determined the follow-ing year I would be back with something they have never seen before. I poured most of my paychecks into my truck and took it off the road for two months to prepare for its transformation.

I called up the owner of Interco Tire and asked about some Supper Swamper tires. He said he had a set of 44x18.5x15 tires in his office that nobody has seen before. At that time the largest they made were 42”. I told him to send them to me I would fig-ure out what I had to do to fit them under the truck. When they came in they looked big. So big I was getting worried. The custom leaf springs came back from the spring shop and I knew my calculations were correct. With all the multiple

shocks in place, chassis freshly painted, motor work done, a lower gears installed it was ready for the tires. I cleared away the debris pile that ac-cumulated around my truck. Placed the floor jack under the rear axle and started to jack it up. With the rear tires on and clearing the fenders it was time to move to the front. When I started to lift the front I noticed how high the hood was getting, at that point I knew I had built a monster.

With all the tires in place I slowly drove it out of the shop. The sun gleaming down on the freshly polished paint and the smell of paint burning off the exhaust system still sticks in my mind. Outside it looked like a beast; people were slowing down to take a look. The show was a week later and I came home with first place. Mission accomplished. It was worth every penny of the $12,000 I put into it.

Then I sold it for $15,500 in

1990 so that I could afford to get married . . . need I say any more?

Tell me your truck story and please send pictures.

“Somewhere along the line, the rebuilt status was dropped.”

Confessions of a CurberIt’s only been a month, but I can see myself selling cars for a long, long time. I feel like a new man. One evening, I was in line at the superstore. An elderly gentleman saw my shopping cart. I had a new digital tire gauge that I was going to give to my next buyer.Turns out he was looking for a used car as he’d recently given his car to his grandson. He just needed something basic. “This is your lucky day!” I told him.The old fellow was around my father-in-law’s age – close to 80. He walked with a cane and had two ear pieces. I was practically shouting to him. What an easy sale.I decided to give him a ride and show him the car. He went on to tell me about his young granddaughter, too.At any rate, we got to the car – it was a base model with an automatic transmission. “It’s perfect for you, sir!” I exclaimed.He got in and sat at the wheel. His face lit up right away. I could tell that he’d been a car enthusiast in his younger days. “Where’d you get this car, son?” he asked me.“It’s my dad’s old car – he passed away and I

just can’t keep it anymore,” I lied. In reality, I imported the car from Washington. It came with documents that mentioned New York State. The title was clean, so I assumed it was in good condition. I priced the vehicle quite high – well over its value. But he didn’t know, and he didn’t ask any more questions. I told him I had another buyer interested (another lie), and that he had to make a decision right away.With no hesitation, he got a bank draft and I gave him the keys. Like I promised, I threw in the new tire gauge. Marty gave me a wink and slowly drove off.Another foolish customer, I thought. No history report to keep me on my toes. And worse, he needs to get it inspected, registered and insured within 30 days - I didn’t bother. I just got my buddy in Bellingham to help me get it across.That evening, I took out the papers I’d received with the car. I decided to go over them more thoroughly. I guess I was a bit bored.Turns out, the vehicle had been registered in four U.S. states. Somewhere along the line, the rebuild* status was dropped. Probably intentionally. The inspection and ICBC will catch that. And who knows if the odometer is right? At least it’s no longer mine.

*Rebuild – A vehicle written off as a total loss by an insurance company, then rebuilt

and certifi ed for use. This term does not describe a vehicle that has a new or

repaired motor, transmission or other major part. Rebuilds offer savings

when repaired well, but a buyer has a right to know

it was rebuilt. But this buyer didn’t and Walt

walked away with the cash.

Ford bounced back into the Canadian small car market in a big way with the return of Fiesta for the 2011 model year.

Sleek, modern styling lines, peppy performance, great fuel economy and an attrac-tive price made the new Fi-esta was a hit straight out of the gate.

Ford claimed it set new in-dustry benchmarks in small car safety and in-car media connectivity. Although it has strong European roots, the North American version of Fiesta is made in Mexico. It comes in a five-door hatch-back body style plus a four-door sedan, which was not sold in Europe. The 2011 Fi-esta also came in S, SE, SEL and SES trim levels.

Power comes from a Ti-VCT 1.6-litre 4-cylinder engine with twin variable camshaft timing that can provide up to 120 horsepower and peek torque is 112 ft-lb at 5000 rpm. Fuel consumption is rated at 6.9 L/100 km in the city and 5.1 L/100 km on the highway (which is about 56 mpg) with the optional au-

tomatic.Some extra (passing) pow-

er would be nice at higher speeds, but there’s no prob-lem getting a Fiesta up to a freeway cruising speed. It’s surprisingly quick off its mark from a standing start and the mid-range power available is also impressive, for a small engine.

The standard transmis-sion is a 5-speed manual but the optional PowerShift six-speed automatic was a completely new (direct-shift) high-efficiency unit. Funda-mentally, it is two manual transmissions inside one gearbox with shifts that are electronically activated using a dual-clutch feature, similar to the Audi/VW DSG trans-mission.

Inside, the centre dash layout (audio etc.) was cell phone inspired, with an eye to attracting younger buyers. SES and SEL trim levels also come with steering wheel-mounted audio controls, a multi-function info screen and a unique ambient light-ing system allows drivers to choose between seven inte-rior accent lighting colors.

Rear legroom is limited, like most in this class, and the seat is a 60/40 split-fold design. Nothing clever here, the seatbacks simply flop for-ward on top of the seat cush-ion and allow more cargo space, it’s more a more useful feature in the hatchback.

Fiesta comes with seven standard airbags, one more than the norm. The extra driver’s knee airbag helps prevent leg injuries and bet-ter positions the driver to survive a serious frontal im-pact. It’s also constructed to comply with European pedestrian (impact) safety requirements. Electronic sta-

bility control and anti-lock brakes came standard on all trim levels, which is unusual in an ultra cost-conscious market segment.

A tilt and telescopic steer-ing wheel is another un-expected standard on all versions of Fiesta. The elec-tric-assist steering system has progressively firmer feel as vehicle speed increases. It also incorporates ‘pull-drift compensation’ feature to help the Fiesta track straight-er in strong side winds and another feature, called ‘ac-tive nibble control,’ dampens wheel/road vibrations at the steering wheel.

While changes for 2012 were minor, they did include an integrated driver’s seat armrest on SE, SEL and SES trim levels. Remote start and keypad entry also became new options on SE, SEL and SES. The top SEL and SES trim levels were replaced with a new Titanium trim package for 2013.

Both sedan and hatchback versions of Fiesta got “Top Safety Pick” ratings based of crash test results done by the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety). On the down side, Consumer Re-ports rated Fiesta “below average” for reliability. The most troublesome areas ap-pear to be power and audio equipment and the transmis-sion (some software glitches/automatic).

Good looking and fun to drive, Ford Fiesta is a miserly fuel user and small car with a lot to offer.

Faster than a speeding

bullet...almostThe McLaren 650S Coupe

made its North American de-but this week at the Vancou-ver International Auto Show.

The British-made super car can accelerate from zero to 200km/h in just 8.4 seconds. The 4-litre, twin turbo V8, boasts a surprisingly good

fuel consumption rate of 11.7 L/100K. Mind you, perform a few burnouts and you will be visiting the gas pumps with more frequency.

At press time, there was no sticker price available other than the European price, which is in excess of $350,000.

Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary

Thank You!The Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary Club would like to

thank everyone for their support of our 17th Annual Rockies Film Festival held at the Key City Theatre

A special thank you to our sponsors:• Taylor Adams Chartered Accountants,

• Lotic Environmental• Northstar GM

Under its new regulations, the BC Government has set up an association led by big corporations to take over the local Blue Box recycling program throughout BC. If you look closely, you’ll see that of seven board members, six are executives of Toronto-based multi-national corporations, with the seventh weighing in from Montreal.

How do you like that, British Columbia?

This means, unlike the current program run locally by BC municipalities, this new program will be managed not by people whose fi rst responsibility is our local environment, but rather, their Bay St. profi ts.

That can’t be a good thing for BC.

The most perplexing thing is that we currently have a Blue Box program that works, is effi cient, and costs BC homeowners just

$35 a year on average. The new proposed system does not guarantee to keep our local environment as its fi rst priority, nor does it guarantee that there won’t be job losses here in BC.

It doesn’t guarantee service levels, or say anything about how big business will pass along the costs to you when you go to pick up a pizza or buy groceries.

Yikes!

Perhaps this is why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to sign onto the new program, calling it a “scam.” Given that, maybe it’s time you called Premier Clark to keep BC’s environmental decisions right here in BC where they belong.

What’s going on here?

Email Christy Clark at [email protected] or call 250-387-1715. For more info, visit RethinkItBC.ca. #RethinkItBC.

This Message is brought to you by:

The BC Government is now off-loading our recycling decisions to Toronto.


Each night we shed a silent tear,As we speak to you in prayer.To let you know we love you,And just how much we care.Take our million teardrops,

Wrap them up in love,Then ask the wind to carry them,

To you in heaven above.Love and miss you always.

Forty people attended the annual United Way Appreciation Breakfast on March 20th at the Heritage Inn. A buffet breakfast and program celebrating donors, Workplace Campaign supporters and the many agencies providing pro-grams and services was enjoyed by all. Mayor Stetski recognized the value of the good works for the community and thanked everyone for their dedication and ef-forts.

Joan Draper spoke on her experiences as a volunteer in the com-munity, as a United Way Director and her insights gained as an employee at the TD Bank, in-volved every year in the United Way Workplace Campaign.

Lori and Debbie from the Cranbrook Boys and Girls Club showed an inspiring video of the positive impacts on a young man’s life while attending the Club and recognized the tremen-dous contributions of Gord Johnston who will be retiring from his Ex-

ecutive Director posi-tion soon.

Bev, Board Chair and Donna, ED spoke throughout the program welcoming and thank-ing everyone involved in realizing all of the successes in 2013.

Upcoming in April, the Cranbrook and Dis-trict Arts Council will be happy to present the Art Group 75 Exhibi-tion. This show fea-tures work from a local seniors painting group and includes beauti-ful landscapes and still life pieces. The artwork will decorate the Gal-lery walls from Tuesday April 1st to Friday May 2nd.

The reception for this exhibit will be held on Friday April 4th from 6pm to 8 p.m. at the CDAC Gallery.

On Saturday April 5th, CDAC will be host-ing a FREE workshop for all professional and amateur artists, arts or-ganizations, cultural workers, community organizers and anyone interested in hosting an event for BC Culture Days in September. Culture Days is a col-laborative movement to encourage aware-ness, participation and engagement of all Ca-nadians in the arts and cultural life of commu-nities. This workshop will provide informa-tion to:

• Learn how to regis-ter an activity and par-ticipate in BC Culture Days;

• Learn about the many online tips and tools available for plan-ning your activity;

• Connect and share ideas with other local activity organizers;

• Learn how to make Culture Days a success in your community.

On Saturday April 26th, CDAC will be putting on a Beginners Henna Workshop by lo-cal Artist Raylene. The Art of Henna has been practiced for over 5000 years in countries such as: Pakistan, India, Afri-ca and the Middle East.

In this 2 hour work-shop, Raylene will be going over some of the history behind this ancient body art form, how to create your own Henna designs, and the techniques for applica-tion of Henna. Price for this workshop is: $35/person (all supplies in-cluded).

To register for either of these workshops, please phone 426-4223 and talk to Marisa. Both workshops will be held at the CDAC Gallery, located at: Room #104, 135 10th Avenue South, Cranbrook.

What’s up at the Arts Council

The powder room, or “downstairs” wash-room, gets a lot of use, both by members of your family as well as by guests. That is why some ingenious plan-ning is re qui red to make the most of this typi-cally small space.

You could keep the existing layout and just change the bathroom fittings, the ligh ting, and the floor covering, or you could en large it by encroaching on underused neigh bou-ring space. In that

case, be sure to include plumbing and electrical costs in your bud get. It is a good idea to call in some professionals at this point, as safety and efficiency are para-mount.

The big challenge is to create an airy look while providing stor-age space. If your pow-der room is too narrow to accommodate a van-ity unit, then a pedestal or wall-mounted basin could be the ans wer. A feeling of volume can be given by doubling

the walls to include built-in elements or to create a re cess that can be used as a shelf. Opt for low furnishings, as higher ones will give the room a crowded look. To maintain an illusion of spaciousness, avoid overcrowding. If you want to lay some tiles, opt for large dimensions and don’t forget to buy a few extra in case of breakage.

Tastes and colours are always a very personal matter. That said, it is usu-ally prefe rable to stick with pale colours in cool tones rather than warm, darker ones, which tend to make a room look smaller. At the very least, plan to keep the ceiling white. Lastly, choose accessories that have a dual function, such as heated towel rails or a mirror with integrated lighting.
