Disclosure rules on the way for local elections in province

By Tom Fletcher

Candidates for municipal and school board elections will have to register with Elections BC and report donations of $50 or more when they run in province-wide elections this

November.

Legislation tabled by the B.C. government Wednesday will extend the term of office to four years as well as tightening rules for campaign financing and advertising. Third-party advertisers will also have to

register before promoting candidates, and financial 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 consultation with the Union of B.C. Municipalities, and that discussion determined that an outright ban on anonymous donations is too strict.

The disclosure rule will

also apply to third-party advertisers, who will have to report sources of donations more than $50 and identify themselves in advertising.

Campaign spending limits won’t be imposed until after the elections scheduled for Nov. 15, 2014. Oakes said that measure is complex because the variety of local governments in B.C. Rocky Mountain

Pro Drivers

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

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

UBCM president Rhona Martin, a direc-

www.kootenayadvertiser.com A3 tor of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, 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 convention. In previous votes, some small community representatives said even three-year terms may be too long for a time-consuming commitment 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 determines budgets for all

independent officers, including the Auditor General.

What are its short-term effects?

Short-term effects of cocaine/crack include constricted peripheral blood vessels, dilated pupils, increased temperature, 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, depends 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 fatigue.

Ann Hoodicoff is the Financial Services Manager for Denham Ford, and represents 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 difficulties in being a woman in your position at the company?

A: I agree that in Cranbrook it can be a fairly maledominated industry, however, 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 believe there are advantages/or difficulties in being a woman in my role with Denham, rather it’s more characteristics. 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 institutions to get the best finance option available for the customer 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 process has changed a lot over the years and at Denham we really strive listen to the customer 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 vehicle, 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 Women’s Shows?

A: Denham Ford believes in community first and foremost. 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 purchasing vehicles than ever before and if they aren’t the purchaser they are often major contributors to the purchasing 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 professional 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 people who have inspired me. I believe different people are placed in your path for different 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 responded to questions from the group’s head office concerning 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 common concerns of patients that present to Optometry clinics revolve around dry eye symptoms. In the Kootenays, these symptoms are exacerbated due to how dry our climate is and our patients present with varying symptoms from mild irritation to severe and debilitating dry eyes that can have a profound effect on their quality of life. Dry eye syndrome is more common in women than men, especially in women over the age of 40. Another area of optometry a lot of women ask about

Brian Coombs Editor

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

By their very nature women are more attentive to their children’s health, including ocular health and visual problems. But what many people do not realize is that there are numerous pediatric 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 during 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 active; active with their kids’ school programs and sports teams, their own social networks, churches, hobbies, volunteer work, etc, and it is this exhaustively active lifestyle that puts their bodies - and eyes - through the gauntlet of their schedules every single day. It is only with the proper eyewear solutions 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 visual 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 solution. 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 knowing these important details about a person’s everyday activities that we can accurately pick a personalized solution to those specific visual demands. Your eyes are unique, your visual demands are unique, your taste and style is unique, therefore 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: photographer, videographer, director. I am inspired by her ability to use different medias to shed light on and bring world wide attention to the political and social lives of women in Iran.

Is beetlekilled timber up to snuff?

www.kootenayadvertiser.com A7

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 government’s expectations for concentrating harvesting on dead pine trees, but says the harvest of other kinds of trees is increasing more than expected in some areas of the province.

“The switch from harvesting dead pine trees to live non-pine trees means the mid-term timber supply is starting 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 sustainable harvest level will be after the salvage program is finished. We believe the chief forester needs to respond to the rapidly changing situation with timely updates to the allowable annual cuts.”

The report looks at government’s records of what was harvested throughout the area affected 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 beetle-affected forests is changing quickly.

The board is encouraging government to re-evaluate decisions about what should be harvested in those areas, taking into account the current dynamics of salvage harvesting.

The Forest Practices Board is B.C.’s independent watchdog for sound forest and range practices, reporting its findings and recommendations directly to the public and government. The board can investigate and report on current forestry and range issues and make recommendations for improvement to practices and legislation.

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-ofway 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.

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

The changes affect three of the six regional panels of the Agricultural Land Commission, for the Interior, Kootenay 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 review of programs.

Non-farm uses will not be considered in the Island, 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 agriculture minister, reiterated their assurances that the ALC will continue to operate independently.

Commissioners are appointed by cabinet, two or three per region, and decisions can be appealed to the regional chairs who act as an executive.

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

Thermography and your health

For those of you who like home renovation you may have seen Holmes on Holmes use an infrared camera to take pictures of houses to identify areas of heat loss. This same type of technology, in more advanced form, can also be a powerful tool to help you improve your health.

Thermography uses a temperature 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 thermography provides information on temperature and infrared heat patterns of the breast. Thermography differs 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 functional test, thermography can detect breast abnormalities that other screening methods cannot identify, namely thermal and vascular 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 investigation and identify women who need to be closely monitored. Like mammograms, thermography does not diagnose cancer. Last year CBC reported on a clinic in Ontario that was advertising the use of thermography to diagnose cancer, a reckless and irresponsible claim.

When used within the limitations 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.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett made reform of the Agricultural Land Reserve a priority in his core review of government operations.

appointments.

NDP agriculture critic Nicolas Simons was forced by the speaker to withdraw the term “deceitful” from his remarks in the legislature, as he accused Bennett of keeping the changes secret until after last year’s election.

“The fundamental principle is that the reserve 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 operator who was refused permission to build a second home on an unproductive part of the property so the next generation could take over the business.

Rhonda Driediger, chair of the B.C. Agricultural Council and operator of Driediger Farms in Langley, said she is looking forward to the changes that will allow 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, especially when you’re looking to be progressive.”

Faye Street, general manager of Kootenay Livestock Association, congratulated the ministers “for having the three Bs in the male anatomy to get this done – starting at the brain, backbone and work your way down.”

Street said young farmers are not entering the industry under the current conditions, and allowing them supplementary income will help maintain the farmers.

Youth survey results launch at City Hall Submitted

According to Cranbrook youth there are three local businesses that they count as the most youth friendly in town. At the upcoming CBKyouth Youth Survey Launch Party they will be showcasing those businesses and summary 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 Educational Services, T.M. Roberts, Mount Baker, College of the Rockies, and the homeschooled students to get a snapshot 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 youthfriendly. The event, on March 31, 2014 at City Hall will also take time to recognize those local businesses that are “Certified Youth Friendly”.

The CBKyouth team is excited about the opportunity to use City Council Chambers for the launch. This is just part of the ongoing support that Mayor Stetski and Council have shown for improving things for Cranbrook’s youth is what helps make projects like this successful.

CBKyouth is the youth project hosted by Big Brothers Big Sisters in partnership with the City of Cranbrook, CBAL, Cranbrook Public Library, United Way and CMHA Kootenays to create more things

www.kootenayadvertiser.com A9 for young people to do and to make Cranbrook overall more youth friendly. The overarching goal is that current and future youth programming will work together to fill the gaps and create new opportunities for young people. This will be done through coordination of our current activities, creating new youth opportunities, the coordination of a youth service provider’s network 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 percentage 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 opportunity to get the real snapshot of where the youth of Cranbrook feel they are.

New tax benefit for families Submitted

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 receive 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 automatically 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 additional 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 Universal Child Care Benefit.

For more information about the new benefit, please visit: www.mcf.

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

One of the great strengths of this project is the range of collaborators involved, says Cory Legebokow, President of the Revelstoke Caribou Rearing in the Wild Society (RCRW).

“From government to industry to First Nations, from recreational users to resource extraction, diverse interests have been set aside to concentrate on what’s best for this fragile species.”

RCRW is a community-based partnership that includes: Revelstoke Community Forestry Corporation North Columbia Environmental Society Revelstoke Snowmobile Club Province of BC Parks Canada Columbia Mountains Caribou Research Project Mountain caribou are listed as a threatened species under the Species at Risk Act and red-listed (threatened) in BC. Mountain caribou numbers in the Revelstoke area have declined by 70 – 80% over the past decade and current calf-survival rates cannot sustain the species in this region. RCRW is focusing 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 support from the Government 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, Revelstoke Community Forest Corporation, Parks Canada, Selkirk Tangiers Heli-Skiing, Mustang Helicopters, Beaumont Timber, K3 Cat Skiing, board members, and many other businesses and volunteers.

Chrysler wheels out its sedan segment slugger

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.

with its ‘‘newAlong bodywork and insides, there are over 60 standard and available safety features to keep both you and the 200 looking good and in one piece.

’’

Alexandra Straub

By Alexandra Straub

This generation of 200 debuts the new “face of Chrysler” with its signature grille and logo. There’s also a standard set of rear LED tailamps, and the interior craftsmanship is much more impressive than before.

This mid-size sedan is hoping 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 apropos since the drive event took place in Louisville, Kentucky, the home of the Louisville slugger.

Nevertheless, here are the meat and potatoes for the allnew 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 Limited, the S and the top-of-theline C model.

Regardless of trim, each comes with an industry first, also known as a 9-speed automatic 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 inspiration from various American 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 really 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 horsepower underneath its sparkling new hood. For a driver’s car, this is the one I’d pick.

What’s more, you can configure this engine on all trims except 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 rearview camera.

Along with its new bodywork 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

‘‘ ’’

It was worth every penny of the $12,000 I put into it.

Ian Harwood

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 getting 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 inspect 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 someone 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 dealership disappointed. The salesman 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 Coquitlam 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 installed 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

Clint’s referral program Your referral is worth $100 cash to you if I strike up a deal with that referral.

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 following 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 figure 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 accumulated 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

Confessions of a Curber It’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

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

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 certified 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.

Buying used? We’re looking out for you.

Ford Fiesta is a miserly fuel user and small car with a lot to offer.

Bob McHugh

By Bob McHugh

’’

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 attractive price made the new Fiesta was a hit straight out of the gate.

Ford claimed it set new industry 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 hatchback body style plus a fourdoor sedan, which was not sold in Europe. The 2011 Fiesta 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) power would be nice at higher speeds, but there’s no problem 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 transmission is a 5-speed manual but the optional PowerShift six-speed automatic was a completely new (direct-shift) high-efficiency unit. Fundamentally, 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 transmission.

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 wheelmounted audio controls, a multi-function info screen and a unique ambient lighting system allows drivers to choose between seven interior 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 forward on top of the seat cushion 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 better positions the driver to survive a serious frontal impact. 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 steering wheel is another unexpected standard on all versions of Fiesta. The electric-assist steering system has progressively firmer feel as vehicle speed increases. It also incorporates ‘pull-drift compensation’ feature to help the Fiesta track straighter in strong side winds and another feature, called ‘active 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 Reports rated Fiesta “below average” for reliability. The most troublesome areas appear to be power and audio equipment and the transmission (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.

Monday, March 31, 2014 Kootenay News Advertiser

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

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 first responsibility is our local environment, but rather, their Bay St. profits.

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 efficient, and costs BC homeowners just

$35 a year on average. The new proposed system does not guarantee to keep our local environment as its first 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 premier@gov.bc.ca or call 250-387-1715. For more info, visit RethinkItBC.ca. #RethinkItBC. This Message is brought to you by:

Home Improvement and Renovations Renovating the powder room The powder room, or “downstairs” washroom, gets a lot of use, both by members of your family as well as by guests. That is why some ingenious planning is required to make the most of this typically small space.

You could keep the existing layout and just change the bathroom fittings, the lighting, and the floor covering, or you could enlarge it by encroaching on underused neighbouring space. In that

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

The big challenge is to create an airy look while providing storage space. If your powder room is too narrow to accommodate a vanity unit, then a pedestal or wall-mounted basin could be the answer. A feeling of volume can be given by doubling

the walls to include built-in elements or to create a recess 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 usually preferable 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.
