City issuing tax refunds Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Cruisin’ BEnCh — Billi hall of Penticton relaxes in the car seat bench at the downtown rotary Park Thursday. The official unveiling of the piece is June 13 at a special ceremony. The bench was designed in memory of the late Ken Paton the founder of the popular Peach City Beach Cruise, which takes place this year June 20-22.

Mark Brett/Western news

The City of Penticton is going to be shelling out about $12,000 to correct a mistake on the 2014 tax notices mailed out to property owners.

The first tax bills sent out for 2014 featured the wrong school district — Okanagan Similkameen rather than Okanagan Skaha — with the result that the calculations of total taxes were higher than they should have been.

“It was an administrative error,” said Simone Blais, the city’s communication officer, explaining that a staff member chose the wrong line from a list of school districts and corresponding tax rates. “From what I understand the bottom of the page had Okanagan Similkameen, but they didn’t flip the page to see Okanagan Skaha,” said Blais.

Amended property tax notices will be mailed out as soon as possible, and property owners are asked to refer to the “amended tax notice” only for the correct amount. In the interim, those who go to the front counter at city hall will have their taxes recalculated automatically.

“We sincerely apologize to affected property owners for the error, and regret any inconvenience or confusion this may cause,” said Colin Fisher, chief financial officer.

“It is critical that property owners be charged only the amount necessary, and the city’s revenue services team is working swiftly to correct the error for all of our customers.”

According to Blais, the new tax notices are all lower than the first notices, though how much lower depends on the assessed value of the property. But reaction from people presented with a lower amount when paying their taxes, she continued, has been positive, with one customer even saying it was like Christmas. However, the mistake comes with a price tag for the city. Blais said mailing out a new set of tax notices is costing about $12,000.

“When we look at how important it is to keep our taxpayers in the loop it was decided it was warranted,” said Blais. “It is the only way to 100 per cent guarantee that everyone is notified of the change.”

Along with sending out the new tax notices, the city will be directly contacting people who paid their taxes before the mistake was noticed. They will be offered a choice of rebate options.

“We can send them a refund or apply that amount to next year’s account so it is a bit of a prepayment. But it is up to them,” said Blais.

People who use MyCity to claim their provincial home owner grant are asked to check the welcome screen message for information. E-bill customers using the MyCity online tax notice portal are asked to use the most recent tax notice dated June 11.

Taxpayers who have been following the Multimaterials B.C. recycling program (MMBC) changeover may be surprised to still see a recycling charge on their tax notice. The reasons are twofold, according to Blais.

“We don’t know the final incentive amount. The second piece is we are not entirely sure how the program is going to play out,” said Blais. “That all could impact our rate in terms of whether or not we are receiving that financial incentive or going on our own.

According to Blais, city council considered whether to use the incentive and decrease the rate now, potentially increasing it again later, but decided it would be better to stay the course and put whatever incentive funds are received aside for future use in education or other programs to fortify the recycling program.

summer break could start early as teachers vote to strike next week Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Unless a new contract with teachers is hammered out over the weekend, B.C. public schools may be closed for the final two weeks of the session.

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation announced Thursday its members will be off the job Monday for a “study session” to assess the union’s latest contract proposal or a tentative agreement, and may then move to a full strike Tuesday if no deal is in place.

“We have significant moves to place on the table and we’re willing to hunker down over the weekend and get this done so we can get back to work next week,” said Leslea Woodward, president of the Okanagan Skaha Teachers’ Union.

“This was a very difficult decision to go to a full strike.”

If a deal isn’t reached, students in elementary and middle schools will get a head start on summer holidays.

Senior students, however, will still be able to write provincial exams, after the Labour Relations Board ruled that administering and marking the tests is an essential service that teachers must provide.

Teachers, who have already staged three weeks of rotating strikes, have been without a contract since June 2013.

The government’s latest offer featured a 7.25 per cent wage increase over six years, plus a $1,200 signing bonus if they come to terms by June 30. Teachers countered with a 9.75 per cent pay hike over four years, plus

cost-of-living adjustments.

Penticton MLA Dan Ashton urged both his Liberal government and teachers to bargain hard.

“You don’t settle disputes from picket lines, you settle disputes by negotiating,” he said.

“When both parties are unhappy, it’s probably a good deal, but you settle that dispute by being at a negotiating table.”

Ashton also noted, “I’ve got two kids that are both in the public school system, and it affects them, so I want this settled as quick as anybody does.”

Earlier this week, teachers voted 86 per cent in favour of proceeding to a full-scale strike.

A total of 33,387 votes were cast, representing about 80 per cent of BCTF members, according to the union.

LoCaL TEaChErs rita Tomlinson, steffanie reid, shauna reid, Jessa arcuri and Kirsten nendick will be picketing next week as the BCTF announced their intention to launch a full strike next week.

Advisor sounds alarm over cost of Internet services Joe Fries

Western News Staff

In what was likely one of his last official reports, the school district’s outgoing technology director urged trustees to continue pushing government to somehow cap the rising cost of telecommunications in the public sector.

Ron Shongrunden, whose one-year contract expires at the end of July, told the Okanagan Skaha school board on Monday that government officials have told him they expect it will soon cost upwards of $70 per student per month for private companies to provide wireless services.

That would cost about $4 million annually in this district alone, he noted.

“It’s bizarre, is how bad this is,” Shongrunden said. “So whether I’m a member of the school district or a member of the public, the taxpayers are going to have to deal with this ... I will ensure they know about this.”

He also raised the alarm about possible fee increases for upgrading the Provincial Learning Network, which connects schools and government across B.C. Shongrunden said PLNet is running out of capacity and he was able to fight back against what would have been a $234,000 bill to the district for a short-term fix.

“The result was, School District 67 did not

have to implement budget reductions to pay for that $234,000 next year. That’s significant.

And it has the potential here of being a longterm, multi-year savings,” he explained.

Shongrunden was due to retire in 2013 after three decades with Okanagan Skaha, but agreed to stay on in the position of director of business development and technology that was created to raise revenue for the district.

In his presentation Monday, the only new money he could point to that covered the cost of his $100,000 contract was a $6,000 annual deal to provide telecommunications services to an unspecified community building using the district’s existing fibre optic network.

“We’re working on a number of other contracts with a number of different organizations right now that are in progress,” he added. “We should expect some revenue — it’s going to be a fairly nice amount, too — by this fall.”

However, he also pointed out a number of savings, including the $234,000 on PLNet upgrades, that more than offset his cost.

Despite that, the school board elected not to renew his contract.

“A lot of factors were factored in, and we certainly appreciate all the work and all the money that Mr. Shongrunden has generated,” said school board chairman Bruce Johnson.

“Having said that, to go to the next step could have been a very significant financial investment on behalf of the board, and the

decision was to finish off this year’s contract and call it good.”

Shongrunden urged trustees to keep lobbying senior governments for the increased use of shared services and lower telecommunications fees for the public sector.

The former Penticton city councillor who admitted to a pair of sexual assaults is moving closer to learning his fate.

Gary Leaman, 59, should find out next week when he’ll be sentenced for the crimes to which he pleaded guilty in provincial court in Penticton in January.

The assaults occurred between 2009 and 2011, but other details of the offences are protected by a publication ban intended to shield the victims’ identities Michael Welsh, the lawyer representing Leaman, appeared in court Wednesday to confirm a psychological report ordered in March had been completed.

The matter was set over until June 16 to determine how much court time will be required for sentencing and to set a date for that hearing.

Leaman faces a maximum penalty of 18 months in jail on each of the two counts.

He’s free on $750 bail. Among his release conditions were requirements that he surrender his passport and remain within B.C.

Pool tiles just another drop It’s a question the answer to which Pentictonites will probably never know.

Who signed off on the extra-large tiles for the community centre pool that must now be replaced because they are too slippery?

Taxpayers are footing the $150,000 bill for replacement tiles around the pool, but according to Mayor Garry Litke, it’s not known how the wrong tiles were chosen when the pool was renovated only three years ago. In the grand scheme of things, it might seem like a small question, but it points to larger problems with city hall, both staff and council.

When it comes to a major project like the $28-million pool renovation, no one expects city councillors to be design and construction experts. That is why professionals like architects, designers and contractors are hired. It’s also a function of city staff. While they aren’t experts either, it is part of their function to review and advise council.

This system, from contractor through staff to council, is designed to provide a series of checks and balances to avoid this kind of situation.

Regardless of the system, mistakes will happen. But over the last few years, several problems have arisen that indicate council is getting bad advice or is ignoring good advice when making its decisions: the Eckhardt hockey dorm fraud, along with the ensuing lawsuits and the dispute with the Penticton Hospitality Association that resulted in the city going to court against the city’s leading businesses and PENTICTON WESTERN employers are just a couple of examples besides this latest debacle.

Decision-making at city hall needs to be taken out of in camera meetings, so the people of Penticton can better understand why the checks and balances aren’t working and they are having to pay extra many for council’s ill-advised moves.

But he tried really hard. He had to because the four kids were more than a handful.

Like other fathers, Pappy wanted to give his children more than he had as a child — which wasn’t too difficult as he lived through the Great Depression. But work action, strikes and

amalgamations all served to put a wrench in his plans.

Music lessons, swimming lessons, hockey, baseball, lacrosse, basketball, Boy Scouts, cadets, and so on.

That’s a lot of driving, a lot of time and a lot of money.

But Pappy did more.

He volunteered his time to these organizations, even though he was working extra hard to put food on the table.

Helping others, it turns out, is as much a part of Pappy as his impish grin.

Family, neighbours and strangers have all benefitted from Pappy’s generosity.

Today at 86 years old, Pappy gets around using a walker or a cane.

He’s learned to avoid revolving doors, just like he learned how to be a father, but he is still smiling.

And although Pappy is battling his third different cancer diagnosis, he will hold

the door open for the next person and always with a smile.

His dedication to family and community with a smile are not easily matched, but do serve as a model for all fathers, and these

lessons have not been lost on his children.

Happy Father’s Day Pappy and to all fathers.

Foreign workers not needed

Would there be an outrage if the B.C. government replaced all the teachers with temporary foreign workers?

What about the RCMP, or the City of Penticton? We all know the answer to that.

Why are we not outraged when businesses employ TFWs rather than Canadians.

We all have a son or daughter, brother or sister, or a friend looking for employment. We are putting up with businesses that do not support their communities, province, or country.

Not I. I will not support businesses that employ TFWs. Do these businesses understand that not only are we losing a job, but we are also losing a consumer.

Foreign workers don’t spend their money here, they send it back home.

Shame on you to all those businesses that turn their back on Canadians and employs TFWs. Canadian jobs are for Canadians first.

Graffiti issue must be resolved

A few days ago I saw many children from New Beginnings Christian School with rubber glove on one hand cleaning up the trash on the Trans Canada Trail.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank them, their teachers and helpers for caring about the community they live in.

I would like to see some of the householders backing onto this trail cleaning up the unsightly graffiti on their back fences and retaining walls too. Maybe we need more children involved in litter projects as well as graffiti projects.

Penticton council needs to resolve this issue sooner rather than later.

Local author remembered

Long time residents of Penticton may remember Heather Glebe. She wrote, amongst other things, a column in the Penticton Herald during the 1980s which was widely read and enjoyed. In 1989 she compiled the columns into a book titled All Things Considered, the name of the columns. Her writings covered a multitude of subjects, funny, thought provoking, sometimes sad.

At the book launch at Theo’s she remembered interviewing Burt Reynolds in his sumptuous trailer, when he was filming in Hedley. She thought he was not only rich and handsome, but friendly and just a “darn nice guy!”

Heather was active in the community arts scene, taught evening classes at Okanagan College, was a founding member of the Okanagan Writers’ League and served as president of the Federation of B.C. Writers in 1989.

letters

She eventually moved to Alberta where she remarried, settling in Two Hills, near Vegreville. She continued to live a busy life with their farm, garden and teaching her Fiddling Kidlings, award winning child fiddlers. She was very proud of their achievements. Heather had many friends and family who are all devastated to hear of her sudden death on May 24. Heather (Glebe) Soldan was killed in a car accident while driving home that night. She will be missed.

Haven Hill staff helpful

My wife has been getting great care at Haven Hill.

To most of the staff this is not a job, but a calling, truly angels here on earth.

Today for example, I took my wife for an outing and on the way back the control on her wheelchair completely blanked out and try as I might I could not get it going again. Five hundred or more pounds is a lot to think about holding on a hill, while disengaging the clutch and pushing it up hill.

More so as I have a slightly herniated disc.

Locating three men working there, I asked for assistance. Without hesitation, all three walked down with me and it was then an easy push up to the facility and to her room.

My special thanks to Darryl, Ken and Matt. Part of the very special team at Haven Hill Retirement Centre.

Boonstock wildlife boondoggle

(re: Wildlife takes a beating, Letters, Western News, June 6) Like Laure Neish, I am deeply saddened, and very angry at the destruction of wildlife habitat that occurred in the process of cleaning the property as the operations manager put it.

Far from being dirty as implied by her comment (Boonstock making progress on plans, Western News, June 6), the land was a nursery for who knows how many western meadowlarks, various native sparrow species, Brewer’s blackbirds, killdeer, and possibly other ground-nesting species; oh and the birds and other creatures living and nesting in the hedges that were cut down.

As Laure pointed out, the birds were in the middle of their nesting season, most of the young in the nest or still dependent on parents for food and the cover of the native grasses and shrubs for protection from predators – except for the uber-predator, the unthinking and/or uncaring humans who destroyed all that life for this season at least.

And for what?

So that non-native grasses can be sown, fences put up, and for three or four days other humans can sit around and listen to

Arrgh matey, this Sunday in recognition of the 100th birthday of the S.S. Sicamous and Father’s Day, a special Pirate Fest for kids and families is happening at the venerable paddle wheeler and spilling over next door to LocoLanding Adventure Park.

From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. young pirates (there will be prizes for the best costumes) will have an opportunity to duel with balloon swords, walk the plank, search for buried treasure and do craftwork, including building their own sailboat.

According to organizer Diana Stirling, LocoLanding owner, a highlight of the festival will be Penticton’s largest one-day slip and slide where those brave enough will be able to get a running start before launching themselves onto the 20-metre sheet which begins at the Sicamous and winds up in Okanagan Lake.

“Everybody, especially kids, love pirates and we wanted to do something nautical for the S.S. Sicamous and also something that really, really resonated with dads and by far pirates seem to be the attraction,” said Stirling.

“Also it’s never been done in Penticton and we just think it would be a really great tradition to start and grow on.

“The Sicamous is a big historical attraction in our community and we need to celebrate it more and something like this will hopefully tie the community closer together and make it full of life for families even more than it already is.”

Dads will pick up some of the extra booty available in the form of free activities at LocoLanding which includes mini-golf, go-karts, bumper boats and the high-level ropes course.

The idea for the festival, according to Stirling is building on the success of the LocoLanding Easter Egg hunt which has raised thousands of dollars for the OSNS Child Development Centre the past two years and attracted huge crowds.

There will be a $5 registration fee for children on site with proceeds going to the SS Sicamous Restoration Society.

During the fest there will be rations of food fit for pirates, including hot dogs and other snacks with the official birthday-cake-cutting celebration at noon.

But there is more.

Out on the water, kids will have the chance to captain their own kayaks with Hoodoo Adventures.

On land, kids can try their hand at paddle boarding with Glow SUP Adventures or building boats with Lego stations from Bricks4Kidz.

During the day DJ Nathan Shakes will be spinning the tunes.

“I think it’s a great idea and it involves the kids a little bit more and every time we involve kids it’s always a success,” said Sicamous manager Don Wright.

“Having Diana and LocoLanding involved is really great.

“We’ve been fortunate to have lots of attention in the last year or so, but you know what, you can never have enough.

“It is such an important part of our heritage we wanted to do something which was fun and different. Who wouldn’t want to be a pirate for the day?”

Martens targets child slavery in Cambodia Kristi Patton

Western News Staff

www.theherbalhealthcentre.ca

Embarking on a 10-month journey away from home, all Sharon Martens knew about Cambodia was the country’s involvement in the Vietnam war.

Hit with a blast of humid air stepping off the plane, it would be the smallest of shocking things she would come across.

Martens flew into the unknown to volunteer as the manager of a Destiny Rescue house, an international organization that exists to end child sexual slavery.

“I had no idea what to expect when I got there,” said Martens, back home in Penticton for a short visit before returning to Cambodia later this month.

“We had little girls at the house that had been rape victims and court cases pending. We started getting girls out of the sex trade and some of their stories are very horrendous.

“I am able to take things as they are, but it still it is hard.”

Martens, a retired care aide, found the opportunity to volunteer through Victory Church which has a partnership with Destiny Rescue. This particular house is in Siem Reap, but there are others.

Martens said they are at capacity with 24 girls that live in the two houses she manages. The girls are between the ages of 14 and 18, but they have seen as young as seven years old.

They are given $100 a month, $25 of it going directly back to their families, a safe place to live, food, counselling, medical care, schooling and skills training.

“Some of these girls’ families are the ones encouraging them to go into the sex trade because they want the money. It is a survival mentality, so if the parents have a bunch of children they decided to let one go into the sex trade, or will sell one so they can feed the rest of the children,” said Martens.

“A lot of these perpetrators promise the parents all kinds of money which never materializes.”

The Destiny Rescue group runs undercover rescue operations that bring children out of the darkness of brothels and bars into a safe environment.

The safe house is entered into voluntarily by the girls to get them out of the sex trade with a goal to get them trained within a year and into jobs that pay $120 to $130 a month.

“That is a pretty good wage there,” said Martens.

“We have girls going into sewing, beauty and baking. If they know English or can pick up some with us they can get even better jobs at the hotels because tourism is such a big driver there.”

Known around the house as “mom,” Martens has developed deep connections with the children.

“One little girl, 14 years old, wants to learn English so badly she practises it on everyone. She told UP TO

me she wants to work in a hotel and then one day own it. She has such a vibrant outlook. It is that kind of passion for life and desire for a better life that keeps us going,” said Martens.

The girls often visit their families on the weekend and social workers are involved to inform children and the parents how to stay out of the sex-trade lifestyle, which often includes drug and alcohol abuse.

“These girls have never been loved by their families or by anybody. When you watch how they change because of love, it is phenomenal,” said Martens.

“A girl might slip through the cracks and we know this.

“We can’t help everybody, but the ones that we see become successful that is when we know we have done something good and we have to keep trying. We have helped change her life for the better.”

Being the house manager is a volunteer position, but Martens receives help through Victory Church which accepts donations to help her pay costs associated with being there.

Martens is also starting her own fundraising, creating art cards using paintings created by the children. She plans on selling them with the proceeds going towards the girls’ doctor and dentist bills. Any extra proceeds would be divided amongst the children.

KELOWNA UNITED Lindsay Lalach takes flight as Penticton Pinnacles Alana Parker slides in for the tackle during action in the under 21 Pacific Coast Soccer League reserve division match at King’s Park in Penticton Wednesday. The hosts scored a pair of late goals to edge United 2-0.

Mark Brett/Western News

Pinns net late winner Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

The Penticton Hyundai Pinnacles under-21 women’s squad outscored Kelowna United 2-0 Wednesday evening at King’s Park.

Alana Parker converted a rebound from a corner kick in the final 20 minutes, then shortly after set up Jana Yates who got hold of the ball inside the box and dribbled it a bit before blistering a shot by the keeper. They are now on a three-game winning streak.

“I think we came together and rallied for this win,” said Pinnacles centre defender Kaitlyn Munro. “I think we were the better team out there. To get those late goals were well deserved.”

Munro said they were able to generate more offensive chances in the second half because there were some nerves facing Kelowna United, which is “sort of a local squad.”

“We used that first half to play defensively strong, then we go for the push in the second half,” she said, adding lots of communication and teamwork led to the goals.

“Just really wanting it. This team is full of heart. Those finishes were beautiful.”

Coach Ray Hintz was happy with their start, in which they created a few chances early, and overall said it was a good game. He said the Pinnacles played with more intensity in the second half and were patient with the ball. He also praised the work of his back line. However, he still found an area that needs fixing prior to their next game, Sunday at King’s Park at noon.

“I think we still turn the ball over a little too much in the middle. We need to be a little bit more patient,” he said.

When it comes to their offence, Hintz said his players “still need to have that killer instinct.”

“If you look at the league this year, I think all the teams in the league are good,” he said. “This year you have to fight in every game.”

Their next opponent will be tougher in West Vancou-

ver FC, which is 3-0. They are led by Daniela Smith with five goals and are strengthened by four players trying out for the UVic Vikes.

“It will be a tough battle for us,” said Hintz. “I think we will be ready for it.”

Pinns men’s team seeks revenge

A 3-0 loss to the Victoria Highlanders FC on May 25 is still fresh in the minds of the Penticton Tim Hortons Pinnacles under-21 men’s soccer team.

The Pinnacles are getting a second crack at the Highlanders FC Saturday at 2 p.m. at King’s Park and have a plan to reverse their fortunes.

“The goal this week is to work on our set plays. Work on our defensive corners and defensive free kicks,” said Pinnacles coach Wyatt Seddon-Johnstone. “Our goal this weekend is not to get scored on corners or free kicks.”

The Pinnacles will have to accomplish that without injured players Jeremy Perreira, Ryan Jerry, James Fraser, Mackenzie Rigg, Matt Bumstead and Aldon Banjuku. Entering the weekend, Highlanders FC has two wins and a draw in three games and have allowed five goals. The Pinnacles are on the heels of back-to-back wins against Kelowna United, the last one a 2-1 decision June 7. Seddon-Johnstone was proud of his players’ efforts as they weathered a storm in the opening 25 minutes due to Kelowna’s running pressure that caught the Pinnacles off guard.

“It’s just been crazy. Trying to keep focus during a rough patch,” said Seddon-Johnstone.

The Pinnacles earned the win against Kelowna United on goals by Dan Thornton and Randy Hubber. “They made a silly mistake which we capitalized on to score our first goal with Dan Thornton,” he said.

In the second half, Kelowna United took advantage of a Pinnacles defensive lapse to score on a header.

“That made the game a little more edgy than we would have liked,” said Seddon-Johnstone. “We will take the three points.”

ACNE REDUCING RECOMMENDATIONS

Sights on second title with Team B.C. Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Last week I talked about my favourite products to treat acne. This week I want to introduce a couple more accessory products that can benefit acne sufferers as well as review some dos and don’ts that will help acne heal faster and minimize scarring.

Avene’s Cleanance Spot Care treatment pen is the most effective spot treatment I have ever used to quickly resolve those large obnoxious pimples that seem to pop up overnight. It works quickly to purify, dry and exfoliate sporadic breakouts on oily skin and promotes rapid elimination of localized blemishes. The colourless formula of the pen means that it can be used on all skin tones. It should be applied to the imperfections two to three times a day.

Lastly I want to introduce the ladies to Avene’s Cleanance No-Rinse Cleansing Water. I consider this product a 2-in1 as it removes eye and face makeup (including waterproof) while also cleansing the skin and reducing excess

#114 - 300 RIVERSIDE DRIVE 250-493-5533

oil production. It should be applied twice daily with a cotton pad. As the name implies, there is no need to rinse.

Now that your arsenal is full of acnefighting products we have one last item to discuss which is the dos and don’ts of treating acne. Following these tips will further help the acne to heal and will minimize scarring. Dos include using a fresh washcloth every day, using noncomedogenic cosmetics and washing off sweat and oil as soon as possible.

The biggest don’t of acne care is don’t pop, squeeze or pick at pimples as this can lead to more scarring. You also want to avoid vigorously scrubbing the skin and touching your face/forehead during the day.

Now you have all my best acne fighting tips. I hope you all achieve the same amazing results that I have. Have questions? Come see me at Riverside Pharmasave, I would love to chat with you!

Kiana Casavant is exhilarated by the chance to represent B.C. again in the Female National Box Lacrosse championship.

Last year Casavant and Team B.C. defeated Team Ontario 12-4 to win gold in Halifax.

She feels a bit nervous about trying to repeat, this time in Whitby, Ont., Aug. 6-9.

“It’s kind of like you have the reputation to stand up for it,” said Casavant, who plays for the South Okanagan Flames junior B team in the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse league.

“People are going to be like, ‘You can do it again.’

It’s almost like lots of pressure.”

It’s her experience from last year that sold Team B.C. coach Jason McDowell on Casavant.

“That experience goes along way when it comes to the pressure of the nationals,” said McDowell, who watched Casavant show skill and toughness during the tryouts in Langley, May 23-25.

“Kiana needs to lead by example on this young team for us to have success. I am expecting a great tournament in Ontario for Kiana.”

The PGAMO is on July 13 and offers riders three distances to enjoy, from the Cortofondo (55-kilometres) to Mediofondo (92-km) to Granfondo (160-km) which rolls through Penticton, Summerland, Okanagan Falls, Oliver and Kaleden before concluding at Penticton’s Gyro Park. There is also the kids’ (under five to 12) Piccolofondo (one to two-km) on

which is nice.

ing over the coaching reins, Casavant said he brings another outlook,

is a little different,” she said. “The hard work and determination I see with the girls this year, if we put the effort in, I think that we could do it.”

During the tryouts, McDowell and his staff put the players through fitness tests, sprints, and stretch and reach exercises. There were lots of drills completed with quick pace and several scrimmages against younger female teams.

Casavant is among five returning players and is excited about the potential for another great experience.

“I’m looking forward to battling against Team Ontario again,” said Casavant, adding she hopes they also get the chance to explore the host city. “Hopefully they are still going to be good competition. I’m interested to see if the competition is still the same.”

Casavant would love to repeat as a junior national champion.

“That would be incredible if we could do it two years in a row,” she said.

KISU makes splash in U.S. Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

KISU’s fourth place result at Wenatchee’s Apple Capital swim meet impressed swim coach Tina Hoeben.

Bellevue, Velocity and Issaquah swim took the top three spots in Washington May 30-June 1.

Despite that, Hoeben said KISU swimmers had fabulous results.

“It is a great meet with some interesting challenges for the swimmers,” said Hoeben. “Outdoors can be very fun, but also very challenging especially for backstroke where the swimmers don’t have the ceiling to guide them. It can also be challenging for weather — it can be much hotter and cooler than a controlled building.”

Finishing atop their age group were Acacia Benn, 12, scoring 94, and Samuel Lasinski,15, who had 59 points. Benn won the 400-metre individual medley, as well as the 800-m freestyle, the 100-m backstroke, 50-m backstroke, 200-m backstroke, 200-m free and 200IM. She was also second in the 200-m fly and third in the 100-m free.

Lasinski was

second in the 400-m IM, 100-m fly and 100-m breast stroke.

He took third in the 200-m back and 10-m breaststroke.

“Acacia was very strong.

She swam many best times and (set) club records,” said Hoeben. “Sam swam a tough program and was in a meet format that ran quite fast, so he had back-to-back tough events without a lot of rest. I was very pleased with how well he stood up and raced.”

KISU faced a variety of clubs, mostly from Washington, including Bellevue, which brought 225 swimmers and Hoeben liked what she saw from them.

She said Issaquah was very big and strong. Wenatchee also had a numbers advantage and strong swimmers.

The Apple Capital was an in-season training meet for KISU with Hoeben expecting best times from the older swimmers.

“Mostly it was great for everyone to get the experience and to race under different conditions,” said Hoeben. “I was very pleased with how well our swimmers did. This is a meet where swimmers can play around with their race strategies and experiment.”

Other KISU results had Emmy Caruso finish second in the 200 IM and third in the 200-m breast stroke.

Marlee Caruso won the 100-m backstroke and was second in the 50-m backstroke.

Thomas Caruso finished second in the 50-m backstroke. He also took third in the 50-m free.

Daniel Everton had seven top-three finishes, including first in the 200-m freestyle, second in 100- and 200-m fly and 200-m backstroke. He was also third in the 50-m backstroke, 200-m fly and 100-m backstroke.

Jaren LeFranc took first in the 100-m breast stroke and second in 50- and 200-m breast stroke.

Xelian Louw fin-

ished second in 200 IM and third in 100- and 200-m back stroke.

Myah Nackoney took third in 400-m free relay. Payton Nackoney won the 100-m fly and took third in 200-m freestyle and 200 IM. Wynn Nordlund finished third in 100-m breast stroke.

Tyler Wall took first in 50-m freestyle and second in the 400-m free, 400 IM, 50-m fly and 100-m backstroke.

Mackenzie Wallich took first in 800-m free and second in 200-m backstroke.

The boys’ eight and under group of Sean Peters, Caruso, Kliever and Nordlund took second in 200-m freestyle and medley relay.

THE BALL GETS loose during a tilt between the Penticton Harlequins (square design jerseys) and the Vernon Jackals in the Okanagan Rugby Union. The Harlequins will be playing in their Sunfest tournament at McNicoll Park this weekend.

Rugby club looks to win Sunfest Western News Staff

Ten visiting rugby teams are converging in Penticton this weekend as the Harlequins Rugby Club hosts their annual Sunfest tournament.

The Harlequins are

CELEBRATE FATHER’S DAY AT

represented by a men’s and women’s team.

“We were hoping for a little bit more,” said Harlequins coach Ken Sommerfeldt on the women’s side, which has three teams. “Having nine men’s teams in the tournament is a step up from previous years so that’s good.

We’re moving in the right direction there.”

Teams are traveling from the Lower Mainland, Trail, Williams Lake and Merritt. Sommerfeldt said there is a lot of excitement within the club for their biggest fundraising initiative. In years past, because of the time required to organize and a lack of players, the Harlequins men’s team hasn’t played.

This year the group decided to join the fun.

“This is as good as any year as we’ve had to actually win our own tourney,” said Sommerfeldt, adding that in the 33 years he has been in Penticton he can’t recall when the Harlequins won it. “The feeling is that we do have the team if we put it all together, we can actually do that. That’s a goal right now.”

The Harlequins last played May 31 defeating Salmon Arm 29-26 and improving to 4-0 in the Okanagan Rugby Union.

As for ensuring the tournament is run smoothly, the Harlequins have received lots of help from players, friends and

alumni.

During the tournament there will be a beverage garden and food for players and spectators. On Saturday evening, there is an outdoor party at Skaha Lake across from the Barefoot Beach Resort until 10 p.m.. It’s a new addition to the weekend for the Sunfest tournament that also includes dinner.

“I’m hoping that turns out really well,” said Sommerfeldt, adding that they want a large group of the rugby community to attend.

The tournament begins Saturday morning at McNicoll Park and concludes early Sunday afternoon.

Tumbleweed artist lives a bold life Kristi Patton

Western News Staff

Dianne Bersea has lived what she refers to as a “quirky” life.

“I often say that I lived my life backwards. I became a professional artist for a long time then I decided to go to art school,” she said while taking a break from her latest painting sitting on the beach in Okanagan Falls. “I usually go and do something and then I figure out how. It’s worked for me.”

Bersea’s creativity began in the wild places of Canada’s western province among the dry plateau lands of the Cariboo, a lighthouse station on the west coast of Vancouver Island, a log cabin on the banks of the Thompson River and outside of Manning Park. After spending many years on Cortes Island, she now lives on a ranch property near Okanagan Falls.

An honours graduate of the Alberta College of Art (now ACAD), she is also a signature member of the Federation of Canadian Artists and an elected member of the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour. She is now part of Tumbleweed Gallery’s collective of artists; Margo Cooper, Kate Kimberley, Jill Leir Salter, Liz Marshall, Susan McCarrell, Jan Little and Bill Hibberd.

“I really love what all those artists are doing. They are distinct and committed to what they are doing,” said Bersea. “I have admired the artists in there since I came to Penticton.”

Bersea has a background in graphic design, fine art, natural history illustration and exhibit design.

She is especially known for her bold landscape images in watercolour and acrylic. Her family weren’t cre-

Artist DiAnne BerseA has joined the collective at tumbleweed Gallery in Penticton and will have an opening reception, with fresh paint from all the artists, on June 19 at the gallery. A downtown Penticton summer Art Walk is taking place on July 3 and Aug. 7.

Kristi Patton/Western news

ative types; her mom figured Bersea should be a doctor, which she pursued in medical school at one point until she got to the physics and math side of things.

“My dad, I thought, was always really creative though. He was a radio technician and could build his own radios and he was like an engineer solving things and putting things together, which is what I think creativity is all about,” said Bersea. “My mom though, if I gave her a painting that didn’t go with the couch, I got it back. My mom never understood it. She didn’t want anyone to starve, but I haven’t starved yet. Maybe a little thin at times.”

Living in isolated places like Dog Creek and getting home schooled she showed a talent for art early on. She worked as an illustrator, graphic designer and came across commission jobs and work by being in the right place at the right time.

“I was in the provincial museum and asked to go into the private collections to sketch and I wanted to see things not on display. One of the staff members picked them up and the exhibit designer saw them.

I didn’t have a phone and I remember him coming to my home knocking on my door and saying, ‘it’s not every day I come offering a job at

someone’s door,’” she said.

While she admits there are artists who are more focused in what they do, Kindrie Grove she gave as an example, her life continues to have that “quirky” way of working out.

“I think it is because I didn’t have a family that said go to art school. I tried pre-med and I didn’t last long.

I always thought I was supposed to do something substantial that the world would appreciate,” she said.

Bersea has worked at the planetarium in Calgary, for National Parks creating exhibits and had many other life experiences to help her find a place in the art world.

“I enjoy the process of being

challenged. The creativity comes from that I believe,” she said.

Bersea said one of her most recent accomplishment is being invited to participate for the Fabriano in Watercolour International Exhibition in Italy June 12 to July 6. Not much of a world traveler, Bersea said she decided not to attend.

“I might go there one day. It might have been kind of fun, but I’m not a really good traveler. It’s funny because here I like adventure in my life but it’s getting from A to B that I don’t like,” she said.

It could be a sign of that living life in reverse mode she has.

“Maybe one of these days I will go, but I guess the show will be gone by then.”

Tumbleweed Gallery is hosting an opening reception for Bersea on June 19 from 5 to 9 p.m. which will include fresh art from all of the collective. Bersea, who said she likes to live and breath inspiration, will be showing landscapes and animal watercolours. Her landscape paintings have been described as a “magic window”to the mysteries of nature.

Tumbleweed Gallery’s regular hours are Tuesday to Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday and Monday by appointment. An artist is in attendance on Fridays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The gallery also is part of the Penticton Downtown Summer Art Walk. In a five-block area, seven galleries are open for people to stroll around to including Caroline’s Boutique, Kindrie Grove Studios, YGO, Front Street Gallery, The Lloyd Gallery and Picture This Custom Framing and Gallery. The next art walks take place on July 3 and Aug. 7 from 5 to 7 p.m.

summer concert series set to liven up Oliver’s community park Western News Staff

When the sun sinks in the west on Thursday evenings this summer Oliver’s musicians and artists are set to entertain.

A vibrant market and concert series at Oliver Community Park is the result of a new collaboration between Oliver Parks and Recreation and the Oliver Community Arts Council.

“There’s always a lot going on at parks and rec,” said manager Carol Sheridan, “But this event? This is the one I am really excited about.

Our goal is to make this the best outdoor concert series and evening market in the South Okanagan, a must do experience for residents and visitors alike.”

Starting June 19, Oliver Parks and Recreation will host a weekly artisan market in Community Park from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. The festival kicks into high gear the following Thursday when Music in the Park moves from the historic CPR Station

sinGer-sOnGWriter DuO Aidan Mayes and Mandy Cole will be performing at the Oliver summer concert series.

to the community stage and park for all its performances. The Penticton Concert Band opens the series on June 26, from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

Sheridan is responsible for the food vendors and artisan market portion of the weekly festival. She is still accepting vendor applications and extends an invitation to those

who wish to promote their art, artisan products, fresh produce, baked goods, preserves or merchandise.

“To ensure a success, we’re making this really affordable for vendors,” she said.

The evening market promises to be a creative place for locals and tourists to shop. Food vendors on

site will encourage shoppers to linger until the 6:30 p.m. concert time, with supper picnicking in the park.

Children’s activities such as face painting, games, and arts and crafts will be available at most markets.

Musical performances will span the genres from country to classic rock to jazz to indie and world beat.

To wind down the evening, the market and food vendors will remain open an extra half hour to 8:30 p.m.

The Music in the Park series will continue to be admission by donation. The 2014 lineup includes the Penticton Concert Band, Nankama Drum and Dance, Aidan Mayes and Mandy Cole, Steve Jones and the Patio Bandits, Divas Night, Nashville singer Andi Zack, Rising Stars Night, and concludes with Jazz Out West on Aug. 21.

Oliver Parks and Recreation will host a special ticketed concert featuring Brickhouse on July 10 to kick off the Sunshine Festival weekend and plans are in the works for a community “Fiesta Mexicana” to

close out the season on Sept. 4.

“It’s a win-win for everyone: artists, musicians, Parks and Rec, the arts council, but most of all the audience,” said Penelope Johnson, arts council president.

Others on the joint planning committee are also bursting with optimism about the new venture.

“I was thinking about stepping back this year,” said Sally Franks, “But this is just too exciting to miss.”

Market vendor applications are available on the Oliver Parks and Recreation website www.oliverrecreation.ca or by phoning 250-4984985.

More information about Music in the Park and arts council memberships is available from OliverCAC@gmail.com.

Also on Thursdays, beginning June 19, the Oliver Country Market A-Fair starts the day off right with wholesome produce available in Lions Park from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. until late September.

Exhibition a collaboration of four international artists

Penticton

Western News Staff

An exhibition that is the collaboration of four international artists is opening at the Shatford Centre on Friday.

A creative convergence of artists, videographers and a writer comes together in Stranger Than A Wolf with Okanagan School of the Arts instructors Heather Spears and Ellie Scheepens in attendance.

The exhibition consists of large photographs of the creative process of an artist at work.

Over 1,500 photos were taken of Scheepens sculpting a head from the inside out starting with the skull, then adding muscles, eyeballs, teeth, ears, fat and finally the skin. The featured head was created at the Anatomical Institute in Denmark.

Artists Isaac Carter and Orsolya Benkoczi were also part of the documentary.

Spears and Scheepens will also be artists in residence for the Okanagan School of the Arts teaching a variety of courses.

While making arrangements to come, it was made clear that the exhibition and documentary would compliment the programs.

Scheepens workshop, also called Stranger Than A Wolf, begins on Friday and runs over the weekend from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“We are thrilled to share this unique piece of sculpting/photographic work with you. It sequentially depicts the sculpting of a human head from the inside out and back to front. It’s a superb sculpting technique for accuracy and resemblance and used in forensic sculpting. If you are interested in figurative sculpting, we encourage you to try out this exciting technique,” she said.

Spears, whose sister was the late, long-time Penticton resident Dodi Morrison, is hosting two courses at the Shatford.

The author and artist is conducting Intensive Life Drawing from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 16 to 19 and then Drawing The Head from 6:30 to 9 p.m. on June 20 and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on June 21

to 22. These are master classes for every level of artist.

“We learn why it is hard to draw and what to do about it, using new exercises based on new brain research — how to make new choices that produce good drawings, and it is exciting and serious fun,” said Spears. “It will be an inspiring time and I look forward to meeting old students and new.”

Drawing The Human Head is a sequel to Scheepens’ head modelling course to learn about growth, recognition, expression, the sources of likeness and how to make portraits.

Spears will also host a artist and poetry reading on June 19 at 7 p.m. for the opening of her show, Drawn From the Fire, Children of the Intifada.

Spears, who was provided with a League of Canadian Poets’ grant, will show a video film of over 100 drawings from Palestine during the nonviolent pursing against Israeli occupation in 1989.

The drawings are now 25 years old and the children who survived are grown up.

Scottish Festival needs volunteers for event Western News Staff

Wayne McDougall gives four-year-old Bella Woodbeck some instructions on playing the bagpipes during a visit to the oSnS child Development centre Wednesday. as well as being a member of the okanagan caledonian Pipe Band, McDougall is one of the organizers of the July 5 Penticton Scottish Festival at Kings Park.

Volunteers are needed to help with the Scottish Festival on July 5.

“It will take dozens of eager volunteers to stage our Highland Games this summer,” said Bob McMillan, vicepresident and volunteer co-ordinator for the Penticton Scottish Festival.

Volunteers are needed to set up fencing in the competition field at King’s Park in Penticton on Friday night, as well as help with ticket sales at the gate, assist with the Celtic Kids Corner, heavy events, the Kilted Pig beverage garden and more during the one-day event, which runs from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The heavy events encompass a series of six feats of strength; the caber toss, stone put, Scottish hammer throw, weight throw, weight over the bar and sheaf toss.

“The Highland Games is returning to Penticton Saturday, July 5 under a new banner: The Penticton Scottish Festival. And you don’t have to be a burly Scotsman to sign up, as lifting the heavy weights and tossing the caber will be left to the attending competitors.”

Included with a gate pass two competition bands from the Simon Fraser Pipe Band will present a short concert of tunes during the games. They also will participate in the opening and closing massed bands. President of the

Penticton Scottish Festival Society, Brian Johnston, said they are “something not to be missed.”

“It is going to be a great day for spectators as well as for the pipe bands from around the province who are attending,” he said. “Pipe bands will be competing for cash prizes and trophies at our highland games.”

The day of events includes a sheep dog demo, highland dancers, Irish dancers, Liz Lupton and the Fiddle Kids, folk singer Gord McLaren, a kids caber toss competition, Triskele Celtic Duo and Fiddling Friends, Kinship and the Malarkeys performing.

“There will be performances from a number of participating local music and dance groups, as well audience participation events for adults and children,” said Johnston.

In addition to an event T-shirt, volunteers will be given free admission to the park for the day to take in the sights and sounds of pipe bands, stock dog demonstrations, medieval sword battles, British cars and a day filled with Celtic cultural entertainment. Volunteers can sign up for shifts of three to four hours in a preferred area of interest by e-mailing pentictonscottishfestival@shaw.ca. The Penticton Scottish Festival will be an annual event held on the first Saturday in July in Penticton at Kings Park. For more info visit www.pentictonscottishfestival.ca

Changing up the cooking Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Paul Cecconi has added a new item to the already funky decor inside his downtown Penticton restaurant, Brodo Kitchen.

Cecconi returned from a trip to the coast this week, where he attended a celebration at Vancouver Community College and was given the Changemaker award in the college’s annual alumni honours.

The award, he said, honours recipients of the college’s culinary arts program who have moved on to make a name for themselves.

Cecconi graduated from that program in 1995, having done both the one-year and three-year apprenticeship programs. In the intervening years, he’s worked his way through hotels and restaurants before moving to Penticton and opening Brodo last year.

With Brodo, Cecconi tried to

He’s like a kid when it comes to food. He enjoys it and he plays with it.

That was acknowledged by Colin Gill, a former colleague of Cecconi’s and now head of the VCC Culinary Arts Department, in a video shown at the awards.

Gill said that with all the fresh ingredients available in the area, he could understand why Cecconi chose to showcase them.

“He’s very passionate about cooking. He’s very passionate about ingredients,” said Gill. “He puts his whole heart into what he’s cooking.”

After a successful first year, Cecconi said his focus now is on convincing people that Brodo is open for dinner as well as lunch. “When we first opened, everyone assumed we were just lunch,” said Cecconi.

“It almost seemed like there was a rumour, so I am trying to start a new rumour that we are not just lunch, we are open Monday to Saturday from 11 a.m. till 8 p.m.”

This summer, Cecconi said he is adding a sidewalk seating area to Brodo, along with Tuesday evening concerts, which start on July 8 with a show by Aidan Mayes and Mandy Cole.

Inside the cabin, you’ll be welcomed by Japanese Contact alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca What’s great about the 4-cylinder, is Subaru offers it with a 6-speed manual. Our friends to the south don’t have access to such awesomeness. But on the flip side, it’s only available on the base model.

Aside from the 6-speed manual, Subaru offers their version of a Continuously Variable Transmission, aka the Lineartronic CVT. While some might not be a fan of this type of transmission, don’t knock it until you try it. Subaru does an excellent job with the gear simulations and I didn’t feel the drone of the system under hard acceleration, even with the 4-cylinder. While I’d pick a manual any day, the CVT is darn good.

Off-roading is a popular pastime but it is amazing how many people arrive in the backwoods ill prepared for what should be a fun adventure. Here are a few tips on off-road driving; If you are driving in rocky terrain, it is important to have sufficient ground clearance and proper suspension travel. High ground clearance allows the larger rocks to pass underneath without contacting vulnerable vehicle components while good suspension travel allows the wheels to remain in contact with the ground.

Independent suspension usually provides a smoother ride on this type of road, but its design limits

the ride. The advantage of live axles when off road is that when the wheels hit a bump, the whole axle rises with the wheels to absorb the bump. This maintains the same clearance from the differential to the ground. While this is an advantage off-road, the weight of the entire axle is constantly moving with any bumps leads to a rougher ride, compared to independent front suspension.

When large drop-offs or ledges are encountered, they can be done at an angle to allow one wheel at a time to drop down. Keep in mind how this will affect the position of the vehicle as turning at an angle to a downhill ledge may result in a side rollover.

Travelling on long sections of gravel roads can lull the driver into a false sense of security. Most four-

the wheel travel and ground clearance available.

Rocky terrain should be travelled at low speeds to minimize vehicle contact with the terrain.

While independent front suspension generally provides a smoother ride, it has a variable ground clearance to the front differential. As the front wheels hit a bump, the wheels rise up to absorb the bump. However the differential remains in the same position, reducing the ground clearance under it.

This can result in the differential hitting the ground, even though the object was only half the height of the ground clearance.

Live axle front suspension does not provide as smooth a ride as independent front suspension.

Many live axle suspensions are now fitted with coils rather than leaf suspension, which improves

wheel drives can make a rough road seem smooth with their smooth suspension and quiet interiors.

Speed creep can occur in these circumstances and when a curve in the road is encountered the high center of gravity in most trucks may cause you to cross to the other side of the road or it can lead to a high risk of rollover. New drivers should be extra careful.

If an obstacle such as a bear suddenly appears it is very important not to swerve while braking. Once a skid or slide starts, it is very difficult to regain control. It is best to use four-wheel drive on gravel roads to gain better traction. Gravel roads provide enough slip not to cause any transfer case windup problems. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

driveway A rare Ford Mustang T5 ready to make its public bow Nigel Matthews

Our classic and collector car expert continues today with the final part of his four-part series on the restoration of public relations executive Laura Ballance’s rare 1967 Ford Mustang T5 by 360 Fabrication in Abbotsford.

The restoration story of Laura Ballance’s Mustang T5 has been an interesting one to follow and one that is not typical of this kind of project.

Before I get carried away telling you what a T5 actually is, I have to report that with the help of the team at 360 Fabrication, suppliers White and Peters, BASF paint and the 200-plus hours of paint preparation, application, wet sanding and polishing by master painter Darren Emmerson, the car is finished!

And here is the best part, it’s on time and under budget, almost unheard of in days gone by let alone today.

So what is so special about a T5 Mustang?

The Ford Mustang could not be sold in Germany as a Mustang because a truck manufacturer there and later a motorcycle manufacturer owned the trademarked name Mustang.

Both manufacturers offered to sell the rights to Ford for $10,000 each but Ford declined and decided the solution would be to use the initial Mustang project name T5 as the solution.

With all of the changes required, they should have probably paid the $10,000.

With there being so many U.S. armed forces bases in Germany, export models were highly sought after.

Laura had no idea how rare her car was until she decided to embark on this project and began doing her research.

The T5 registry has informed Laura that of the 453 Mustang Hardtop T5s built in 1967, hers is one of the few examples ordered with a vinyl roof, which is listed as an option in the V.I.N tag.

There are only two T5s known to exist in Canada, hers and one in Ontario and only 45 have survived in various states of condition worldwide. It is going to be a busy summer for Laura, her two daughters and the Mustang.

I suspect her father, never in his wildest dreams would have thought the car would end up as a show car let alone become a family affair involving three generations of his family.

The T5 will debut at the Vancouver Classic Car Show and Auction at the PNE on June 21 and 22.

Look for a picture of it at its gleaming best in next week’s Driveway preview of that show. Then it will head south in July to the Mustang Roundup in Bellevue, Wash. the world’s largest Mustang meet.

The car is entered in the Concours restoration class and should place well.

Because this is the 50th anniversary of the Mustang the invitations are pouring in, the most recent one from an event in North Carolina, Laura still has a day job so unfortunately will miss that one.

She will finish the summer off at the Luxury SuperCar weekend at VanDusen Gardens in September. The car will be viewed at least 30 or 31 times in a month, gracing the walls of garages and repair shops all over North America featured in a 2015 Ford calendar.

This concludes a restoration project with a happy conclusion.

Nigel Matthews is the director of sales and marketing for Hagerty Insurance Canada. nmatthews@hagerty. com Your classic car could ‘Going once, going twice, sold!’

The 2014 Vancouver Collector Car Show & Auction, presented by the Dueck Auto Group, is now accepting consignment applications for those looking to sell their cars.

New to this year’s event, which takes take place June 21-22, at the PNE Fairgrounds, is an auction preview, open only to the auction’s registered bidders and consigners.

This event will allow sellers to show off their vehicles and mingle with the bidders before the auction.

If you have an awesome car that you want to show off but don’t want to sell, they too can be displayed at the show for free. For more information on displaying or consigning your car, visit www.VancouverCollectorCars.com.

This T5 Mustang, belonging to Laura Ballance, is only one of two in Canada.

Nearly new: Ford Escape has full package

’’

Bob McHugh

The Ford Escape is a founder member and a top-seller in the hot-selling compact utility club.

It came with a new-look exterior, an interior makeover and improved safety features for the 2008 model year, all included in a complete second-generation redesign.

Although it doesn’t look too much different from its predecessor. The ’08 Escape has a wider stance and a slightly higher belt line than its predecessor and there are no carry-over body panels.

A domed hood, bigger grille and new headlamps also give this Escape a slightly more aggressive look and it has better off-road attributes in terms of approach, break-over and departure angle capabilities.

A base front-drive Escape XLS is powered by a 2.3-litre engine. Moving up a step, the XLT trim allowed a 3.0-litre V6 option and a tow package that bumped trailer-hauling capability to 1,588 kg (3500 lb).

The top-line Limited came with leather, dual climate control air conditioning and Audiophile sound system, more power features, and the V6 engine.

Four-wheel-drive was an option with every trim level.

If an urban commute is your vehicle’s primary job and good fuel economy is important there’s also a hybrid version of the Escape.

It has a smoother and quieter powertrain than the first generation Escape Hybrid, introduced in 2003, and its city-driven fuel economy rating is an ultra-frugal 5.7 L/100 km.

It was also available in both front-drive and four-wheeldrive.

While stability control was standard on all gas-engine versions of the ’08 Escape,

The Escape’s reliability is generally rated average to better than average and repair costs are generally lower-thanaverage.

it wasn’t available on the Hybrid.

Same story for a related new safety feature on the ’08, called Roll Stability Control (RSC).

Particularly useful on taller vehicles, the RSC system automatically responds when a potential rollover is detected, by selectively applying brakes and/or decreasing the engine torque.

Both of these important active safety features were made standard on the ‘09 and newer Escape Hybrid.

The ’09 model year also brought big changes under-hood.

A new 2.5-litre 4-cylinder engine, a modified version of the 3.0-litre V6, two new transmissions and the hybrid got an even more refined drivetrain with an Atkinson cycle gasoline engine.

The new five-speed manual transmission, in combination with the 4-cylinder engine, was only available in Escape models sold in Canada.

The Escape Hybrid is a full hybrid and capable of running purely on electric power up to about 40 km/ hour.

It also uses a continuously variable transmission (CVT).

Although it doesn’t function with a conventional gear set, it still offers a lowrange setting for challenging terrain.

The 2010 model year brought trim upgrades to Escape and all models got standard Blind Spot Mirrors.

A top-line Limited trim was added to Escape Hybrid offerings and an Auto Park System, which automatically steers the Escape into a parallel parking spot, was a new option.

Ford Escape was essentially unchanged for 2011 and 2012, other than some new exterior colours and option packages.

The 2012 model was the final year of this generation Ford Escape.

The Escape’s reliability is generally rated average to better than average and repair costs are generally lower-than-average, according to Consumer Reports.

The Hybrid edition typically rates a little better.

Resale prices are reasonable and there’s typically a good supply of used Ford Escape models out there.

You can expect to pay an additional $2,000 to $4,000 for a Hybrid model. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca
