Province won’t disclose costs of Oliver jail Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Third-party business interests outweigh the public’s right to know the dollar value of monthly payments to the group contracted to design, build and maintain the Okanagan Correctional Centre.

“As that information is protected under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIPPA), we’re unable to publicly disclose the monthly payment amounts,” Justice Ministry spokeswoman Cindy Rose said in a statement, adding that to do so could reveal “third-party proprietary information.”

Earlier this month, Partnerships BC released a report that confirmed the ministry’s assertion that the public-private partnership with Plenary Justice is indeed the most cost-effective way to finance, construct and run the 378-cell jail north of Oliver, which has a stated capital cost of $192.9 million.

Including other charges, such as facility maintenance and debt servicing, the report pegs the net present cost of the project at $241.6 million in today’s dollars over the life of the 30year agreement.

Also included in the 28-page report, however, is a small graph that appears to show total payments to Plenary Justice will escalate with inflation, but average about $12 million annually if there are no penalties for missing service targets.

Rose declined to provide the actual numbers used to draw the graph, but did reveal that in 2017-18, the first full year of jail operations, payments will total $10.8 million. That amount over the life of the 30-year deal equals $324 million, well above the stated net present cost.

B.C. New Democratic Party justice critic Mike Farnworth suggested a simple solution to sort out the discrepancy.

“The easiest way to find out would be for the government to live up to its commitment to be open and transparent,” he said.

“They always use the excuse, ‘Well, we have to comply with FOIPPA,’ but the reality is they can be as transparent as they choose to be. And I think in projects like this, as in many other government projects, the public would be better served if the government was just upfront.”

An Artist’s rendering of the Okanagan Correctional Centre. the provincial government is unwilling to disclose the cost of design, construction and maintenance of the facility, which is scheduled to open in 2017.

Ministry of Justice image

Besides making regular payments to Plenary Justice, the province will also contribute $71.1 million in capital costs during construction, plus spend another $20 million annually at the jail through BC Corrections, Rose said.

“The majority of this cost will be salary and benefit costs for staff,” she noted.

Partnerships BC’s report also promised that construction of the jail will create 500 direct and 500 indirect jobs and “provide a boost to the local economy.”

Rose said the procurement process for goods and services

that’s beginning now should be complete by early fall, and “many local contractors will be bidding on these packages.”

Farnworth called on the Liberal government to report how many locals actually get work.

“If it’s not materializing, we should know that,” he said.

Oliver Mayor Ron Hovanes said there has been little activity at the jail site recently, but expects to see it soon when construction begins in earnest later this summer.

“It certainly is a topic of conversation,” he said. “People are getting ready for the onslaught of workers, that sort of thing.”

City puts grant application process into hands of fiscal review committee Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Community organizations seeking grants from the City of Penticton should be prepared for an earlier application deadline and a new screening process if city council approves a new screening process introduced this week.

During the budget process each year, many hours of city council and staff time are taken up dealing with the large number of grant requests, but this year, the city is thinking of shifting the burden to the fiscal review advisory committee.

Last year, the city received 52 grant requests, for nearly $1 million, of which they approved a total of $669,000.

“It’s an issue that council has been asking for advice on for a number of years. It’s always been a thorny issue,” said Mayor Garry Litke. “The fiscal review advisory committee is in place to advise council on financial matters, so it seemed like the logical place for it to go,”

Spice Magic Indian Cuisine

According to a report presented to council this week, the committee is willing to take the job on, but after it became clear councillors were divided on the plan, it was referred to their next committee of the whole meeting for a more thorough discussion.

The revised policy would see each grant application looked over by the fiscal review advisory committee, which would pass their recommendations on to council about which grants should be approved. The deadline for applications would be shifted to Sept. 15, a month earlier than previous years.

“It is a very long process to deal with all these applications. Giving us an extra month allows the city to do that additional due diligence,” said Colin Fisher, the city’s chief financial officer.

Fisher explained that ambiguities in the current application process often result in unclear applications.

“It came down to having to evaluate apples and oranges. They were completed in

such different ways that evaluation and comparison was very difficult,” said Fisher.

“As a result, the process was slowed down significantly, especially if we had to go back and request the applicant resubmit.”

Coun. John Vassilaki spoke strongly in opposition to the plan, saying that such decisions should be kept at the council table.

“I will never vote in favour of something like this,” said Vassilaki, noting that the city’s budget is the most important document council has to deal with.

“I would hate to see a non-elected person making a decision or have influence on council as to where taxpayer money should go. People give us the responsibility to make these decisions.”

Vassilaki also noted that many of the grant requests deal with social issues, which he said are the responsibility of council, adding that he was concerned about the possibility of bias by involving a non-elected committee.

“It could be a recommendation to deny or

Spend $25 on Food GET a BOTTLE of HOUSEWINE for $20 *Dine in only

approve or their could be no recommendation. That is also an option of the committee is not comfortable about taking an option,” said Litke.

All applications under the new policy, he explained, would be passed on to council, though there could be other options for how the committee would come to its initial recommendations.

“The intent of council over the past number of years has been to try to get a handle on the amount of money that is being spent,” said Litke. “One option might be that council would approve an envelope of a certain amount of money and give that to the committee to deal with.”

Members of the fiscal review advisory committee include chair Alan Profili, Chris Browne, Tim Gahagan, Paulette Rennie, and Jim Dunlop, chosen for their business or financial backgrounds. Litke and Coun. Helena Konanz are council’s liaisons to the committee, but do not have a vote.

Peach bin races join Peachfest lineup

It was her Special day.

I didn’t want to miss a word!

It was my daughter’s big day. Aware that I was experiencing some hearing loss, I was anxious about communicating in a noisy environment.

Most importantly, I didn’t want to miss a word of her precious wedding vows.

With just a week before the wedding, I scheduled a hearing test at the Penticton clinic.

Audiologist Stephanie Sykes conducted a very thorough series of tests and after explaining my results, she recommended the Alta Pros™

by Oticon for my specific lifestyle needs.

The exhilaration I experienced with my regained sense of hearing was only surpassed by the joy of giving my daughter away to the man of her dreams!

Thank you for your professional care!

With the addition of Peach bin races, there are going to be thrills and chills to open the 67th annual Peach Festival on Aug. 6.

Picture the scene: 20 wildly decorated peach bins, each with a team of five, lined up on Main Street at noon, everyone eager to set the benchmark record for racing down the 100 block and into Okanagan Lake Park.

“They are actually apple bins, but we are going to pretend,” joked Kerri Milton, executive director of the Downtown Penticton Association, which is sponsoring the event.

“A business or individual can sponsor a bin and all proceeds go to charity.

“Then it is up to the business or the individual to decorate their bin, however they want, but no motorized vehicles allowed.”

Milton said she has obtained 20 bins from local farmers for the inaugural races, so when those have all found sponsors, that’s the limit.

“We have had a lot of phone calls and a lot of interest,” said Milton.

“It is looking really good. As of Friday, we had a

City approves bylaw permitting tasting booths at downtown markets Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

This Saturday, as you visit the Penticton Farmers’ Market or the Downtown Market, you are going to be able to sample more than fruits, veggies and other goodies.

City council voted unanimously Monday to change municipal bylaws and remove the last obstacle to allowing wineries to set up tasting booths at the markets.

“We are thrilled,” said Kerri Milton, executive director of the Downtown Penticton Association. “We all think it will add to the vibrancy and tourism downtown.

“We currently have a variety of wineries that have already been approved by the liquor inspector so we will have some wineries on Saturday.”

The Farmers’ Market is also expecting to add wineries to their lineup, though they will only be allowing two at a time.

“We are planning on having a rotating schedule,” said Moses Brown, representing the Farmers’ Market.

“We can’t have more than two wineries, because we just don’t have space. If the city would deem to give us more space, we could possibly look at expanding

We all think it will add to the vibrancy and tourism downtown.

— Kerri Milton

the winery aspect of it.”

All the stakeholders who spoke at the public hearing Monday were in support of the changes, though there was some concern from Brown that the way the Downtown Penticton Association was planning to handle the wineries, would create a second farmers’ market and unfair competition.

“We have agreed with the liquor board that the 400 block would be for tastings,” said Moses. “We would move our current farmers that are in other locations into that block as well to go with the whole feel of tastings and wineries and cheese and bread and all those different kind of things that relate. This is just another way to economically grow downtown Penticton.”

Hugh McClelland, representing the Naramata Bench winery association, spoke in favour of the changes. He noted that there are 25 different wineries in the organization, 18 of which fall within Penticton boundaries.

“Most of my wineries are very interested in being able to sell wine in the markets,” said McClelland.

“They see it as a very positive business opportunity, both for selling wine directly, but also as an opportunity to increase tourism in the area because it is an opportunity to talk with people and tell them about the wine touring opportunities.”

Milton said they will also be working with craft breweries to add to the offerings, starting with The Cannery Brewing Company, which will be at the market this weekend.

Bad Tattoo Brewing, which is located just a couple of blocks away from Main Street, is also on the list.

“It’s not just wineries, but we have also created space for just locally produced beverages period,” said Milton. “Bad Tattoo makes its own root beer, so they are going to be there as well. This is a big thing.”

Missing a tooth?

You may well have multiple replacement options and your dentist can help you determine the best choice for you.

The most common traditional replacement option for a single missing tooth was a bridge. These are constructed of metal sub-frames, with tooth-coloured porcelain applied to approximate the natural colour of your existing teeth.

250.493.6724 www.pentictondentist.com 185 Front St.

Bridges use the teeth on either side of your missing tooth to provide support for your artificial tooth that fills the space. A bridge aims to restore chewing function while appearing acceptable aesthetically. It is usually a less expensive option than an implant, but it does have some drawbacks.

Because the bone beneath a bridge is no longer stimulated by chewing it may resorb and slowly develop a gap between the bridge and gums of the replacement tooth (pontic). Its lifespan may only be a few years and the supporting teeth (abutments) can also decay, although those with diligent oral hygiene can retain their bridge much longer.

In addition, bridge preparation involves grinding down often healthy adjacent teeth which is far from ideal.

Dental implants - a small titanium screw designed specifically to replace your natural tooth root - are today’s ideal replacement option. Implants provide a highly biocompatible surface which encourages bone to attach to it during the healing process and preserve the bone’s integrity. Once healed, your dentist will finish the restoration with a ceramic crown.

When you lose your teeth your jawbone can shrink and make you appear older.

Implants help prevent this process. Their inherent strength and stability means you can continue to eat your favourite foods. If your tooth has been missing for some time or you have periodontal (gum) problems, your dentist will need to ascertain if your bone will successfully support a dental implant.

New speed limit a green light for lead-foot drivers It’s getting quicker to get around parts of British Columbia.

Earlier this month, the provincial government announced new, higher speed limits on 35 sections of rural highways, with more promised for later in the summer. In total, drivers will be able to put their gas foot down a little harder on 1,300 kilometres of blacktop.

The Ministry of Transportation says serious crashes on provincial highways have decreased 28 per cent since 2003. Cars are safer, drivers have more and better technology and education at their disposal. Enforcement is better.

While lead-footed drivers and owners of fast cars may celebrate the decision, not everyone is happy. The RCMP officers who patrol many of those highways and attend to the carnage that sometimes results from excessive speeding, don’t like the new limits. ICBC is worried about safety and vows to monitor those stretches of highway that have new limits to see if there’s an effect on crash rates and severity.

Also, the Ontario Provincial Police released a report on highway fatalities thus far in 2014 which showed that 33 of 113 road deaths were related to excessive speeds.

Truckers aren’t pleased with the new rules, either. The BC Trucking Association says it will direct drivers to stick to its current speed policies because the faster a fully loaded truck travels, the longer it takes to stop. Also, the faster a truck moves, the more fuel it consumes — and that money comes out of the pockets of truckers PENTICTON WESTERN and, ultimately, consumers.

Too many drivers already treat speed limits as a suggestion, rather than law. Now, their threshold has just been raised.

Cars may be safer, but crash tests don’t happen at 120 km/h.

U.S. spies in Germany: The end of trust The question to bear in mind, when reading this whole sorry tale, is this. If Americans are, on average, no stupider than Germans, then why are their intelligence services so stupid?

After the most recent revelations about American spying in Germany, there was considerable speculation among members of the Bundestag (parliament) that Germany might “get even” by inviting US whistleblower Edward Snowden to leave his Moscow exile and come to Berlin instead. But last weekend Chancellor Angela Merkel, at her traditional pre-summer vacation press conference, rained all over that idea.

“We learned things (from Snowden) that we didn’t know before, and that’s always interesting,” she said – but “granting asylum isn’t an act of gratitude.”

Given that one of the things she learned from Snowden was that the US National Security Agency was bugging her mobile phone, this showed admirable restraint on her part, but even Merkel’s restraint only goes so far.

Only a week before, her patience with persistent American spying, even after Snowden’s revelations, snapped quite dramatically: she ordered the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency’s “chief of station” at the American embassy in Berlin to leave the Gwynne Dyer country. German media Dyer Straits reports stressed that such drastic action had almost $40,000 in cash only been taken previfor 218 secret German ously when dealing with documents downloaded “pariah states like North to computer memory Korea or Iran.” sticks and handed over The United States at secret locations in has never formally Austria. apologized for tapSome of those secret ping Merkel’s phone. documents were even It refused to give her about the discussions access to the NSA file of the German parliaon her before she visited mentary committee that Washington in April. was investigating the And it went on paying a earlier American spying spy who worked for the efforts, including the Bundesnachrichtendibugging of Chancellor enst (BND - Federal In- Merkel’s phone. The telligence Service) right American spy agencies down to this month. simply don’t know how “One can only cry to stop spying, even at the sight of so much when they have been stupidity,” said Finance caught red-handed.

Minister Wolfgang They only got Schaeuble, insisting away with such brazen that the information behaviour for so long given to the U.S. by because the Germans naively trusted them. the spies was of no real The spy from the BND, value. That’s probably for example, simply true – yet the Amerisent the U.S. embassy can controllers paid an email asking if they their spy in the BND

were interested in “cooperation”. The German authorities didn’t pick up on it because they didn’t monitor even the uncoded communications of a “friendly” embassy. The spy was caught only when he got greedy and sent a similar email to the Russian embassy. Russian communications are monitored as a matter of course in all Western countries, so the German authorities put the spy under surveillance, and almost immediately they discovered that he was already selling his information to the Americans.

What is clear from all this is that the American intelligence agencies are completely out of control. They are so powerful that even after the revelations of massive abuse in the past year very few politicians in Washington dare to support radical cuts in their budgets or the scope of their operations. They collect preposterous amounts of irrelevant information, alienating friends and allies and abusing the civil rights of their own citizens in the process.

The German intel-

ligence agency (there’s only one) doesn’t behave like that. It chooses its targets carefully, it operates within the law, and it doesn’t spy on allies. Why the big difference?

It’s because the annual budget of the Bundesnachrichtendienst is just under $1 billion, and it employs only 6,000 people. The United States has only five times as many people as Germany, but its “intelligence community” includes seventeen agencies with a total budget of $80 billion dollars. There are 854,000 Americans with top-secret security clearances.

The American intelligence community grew fat and prospered through four decades of Cold War and two more decades of the “War on Terror.” It is now so big, so rich, so powerful that it can do practically anything it wants. And often it does stuff just because it can, even if it’s totally counterproductive.

Teachers misrepresented

I have contemplated whether or not to comment on the job action that is being executed by the B. C. Teachers Federation through striking.

I was involved on more than one occasion in this practice as a last resort standing against government restraint.

And I know full well I will be damned by my ex-comrades for my input.

As a former School District 67 employee I feel I am living a fairly comfortable retirement, thanks to the many hardships and negotiations we endured through the 70s and 80s, I can honestly say the tactics and strategy currently being undertaken by the powers that be are underhanded to say the least.

Teachers have always had the short end of the stick as far as being misrepresented in the public eye, as working eight hours a day, and just nine months out the year.

As a former custodian I have to beg to differ and set the record straight regarding that misconception.

Teachers are so dedicated as to label them habitual workaholics.

In the 28 years of my job experience, whether waxing floors, refurbishing gym floors, shampooing carpets, etc., there was no way of deterring the teachers from their workplace.

Some of them were obsessed with class preparation and last minute details.

So for all those frustrated parents whose so-called baby-sitters are on strike, don’t be so selfish.

Is it that long ago you had that extra half hour with your teacher because you were hung up on a subject or problem?

How soon we forget.

Tips for the farmers market

We spent last winter in South Africa and spent a Saturday at the Stellenbosch Slow Food Market.

Stellenbosch is an old administrative and university city in a region famous for its wines.

A feature of their market was that everyone made a point of having brunch or lunch there. The market was organized so that this was easy and enjoyable.

All the food vendors were located together and next to them were plenty of picnic tables under cover. Necessary in South Africa to provide shade.

A large tent with the sides up would be suitable here.

There was a huge variety of good foods available; quiche, paella, pies, salads, sandwiches, wraps, pitas, etc. of may types.

The local beer was available in old wine barrels filled with ice and you could buy the local wine by the glass.

The food vendors were all busy. The guy making the egg and bacon muffins had run out by noon.

Organizing the Penticton Farmer’s Market like this would be popular and benefit the food vendors.

We intend to add another charity to our group of three by donating proceeds of the latter collection to the CNIB. Also, an elderly gentleman living in a senior’s home read my letter to the editor and asked his daughter to bring his collection to the stamp club, and a number of people from the surrounding communities have donated bags of stamps.

We welcome one and all to our club meetings, the next one being Sept. 7 at the United Church.

The generosity in this community is overwhelming and it serves several purposes.

Did you know that up to 50% of Canadians do not take their medications as recommended by their health professionals? This results in 10% of adult hospital admissions in seniors, 20% of preventable reactions to medications, 125,000 deaths annually and 4 billion dollars in hospital costs each year.

Taking the right amount of medications at the right time and in the right manner can go a long way in maintaining your quality of life and reducing complications or the worsening of your condition.

Sometimes beliefs about drugs can get prevent you from taking your medication as prescribed. Some examples include: - “Natural products are better than prescription drugs” - “Generic drugs are cheap imitations of the real thing” - “The treatment is more harmful than the disease”

Side effects can also get in the way of your treatment so it is important to discuss these with your doctor or pharmacist as they are usually temporary and can be reduced or avoided in many cases.

The start of a legend Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Samples are now being poured at Naramata’s first commercial distillery.

Legend Distilling opened its tasting room earlier this month, offering visitors small-batch vodka and gin produced on site at what used to be a doctor’s office.

Dawn and Doug Lennie acquired the Naramata Road property in September 2013 and set to work renovating it and obtaining a range of regulatory approvals, from a local government rezoning to a liquor manufacturing licence.

For now, they’re the only place selling spirits on the wine-soaked Naramata Bench, although they’re unsure how long they’ll be a solo act.

“We’ll have the opportunity to get established and get our brand established before other ones come along,” Dawn said.

“That, I think, is the big advantage. I also think we have a great location, and that can’t be duplicated, really.

“But I think the disadvantage is it’s going to get easier as more people go through the (regulatory) process,” she continued.

“Like the architects: They’d never done a distillery before. It was the first one, so all those people you’re dealing with don’t have any experience.”

The Lennies, who previously owned a

construction company and The Bench Market, hopes to capitalize on the emergence of craft distilling and the loosening of B.C. liquor laws.

Legend’s first batches are limited to about 300 bottles of vodka and 200 bottles of gin, but more product is expected approximately every two weeks.

All the ingredients, such as wheat from the Peace region, are sourced in B.C. Like craft beer, smallbatch spirits are also more flavourful than their mass-produced counterparts.

“We chose to do the vodka unfiltered to start

vodka is dubbed Shadow in the Lake, paying homage to Ogopogo, while the gin is called Doctor’s Orders, a nod to Prohibition, when some medical professionals prescribed alcohol for some patients.

“We were trying to get something that could get stories rolling,” Doug said.

“We wanted to definitely get a fun mix.”

The tasting room is open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. with a patio available for patrons.

The owners are also seeking an upgraded liquor licence that would eventually enable them to serve cocktails.

with,” Dawn explained.

“It’s got really great flavour from the wheat — a little caramel, a little vanilla — it’s nice and smooth.”

Doug hopes to eventually produce other types of spirits, like whisky, plus flavourinfused varieties using fruit grown on site.

“I think a lot of it’s going to happen next year once we’ve got some inventory and we can do stuff like that.

RIght now, we’re just trying to get product out,” he said.

Poll puts Okanagan wine region in top-10 tourism destinations Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

What does Burgundy, France, have in common with the Okanagan?

If you said they’re both great wine growing regions, you would be right, but that is only part of the answer.

The Okanagan, Burgundy, Champagne and 17 other of the world’s greatest wine regions are vying to be named to the top 10 wine regions to visit in a poll sponsored by USA Today.

With a little more than a week to run in the contest, Penticton has a solid hold on second place, trying to overtake Alentejo, Portugal for first, and leading traditional wine destinations like Burgundy or Moselle, Germany.

Chris Bower, the new executive director at Tourism Penticton, said he isn’t surprised.

“If you look at Penticton … we have about 150 wineries surrounding us, at both ends. Over the last few years, the Okanagan has really become well known for its wine,” said Bower.

“When I look at it, I am saying this is the best place to live and to visit; we are so fortunate to have the wine here.”

The importance of the Okanagan as a wine-producing region, and the resulting importance of that

to tourism, has grown substantially over the last few decades, according to Bower.

“There has been a big switch over the last 30 years in the consumption of wine. Before, it was the cheap wine, boxed wine, and now we have a higher quality wine,” he said.

“The product we have here, the wine being produced is world-class wine. Look at all the awards we have been winning over the years here.

“One day we are going to be known as one of the major international regions to come to.”

As with similar online user poll-type contests, you can vote once a day, every day for your favourite destination. The contest runs until Aug. 4, leaving lots of time to get more votes in at www.10best. com/awards/travel/best-wine-region-to-visit/.

“The most important thing is for everyone to vote,” said Bower.

Placing high in the top 10, or better yet, first, will be a marketing bonus for the region according to Bower.

“There are people that are going to come and write stories about Penticton and the area,” said Bower.

“That’s just part of it. We are able to use it on our website and through social media.

“You always need that hook, something to get it out there and then we will be able to show what else we have to offer.”

Help Prevent Heart Attacks with Vitamin C and Lysine Powder

Foreclosure prompts sale of Mt. Baldy Joe Fries

W. Gifford-Jones, MD

W

hy is heart attack the number one killer in this country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack.

Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling reported twenty-five years ago it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack.

Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.

I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent.

But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus™ is available at health food stores and specialty pharmacies.

The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop mixed with water or juice with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day.

This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. That is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors.

As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine!

I turned 90 this year.

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries.

Sixteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal.

I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking cholesterol lowering drugs (CLD’s). I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications.

Despite a history of financial struggles that kept the hill closed last season, the Mount Baldy Ski Corporation will still be of interest to the right buyer, according to the man tasked with selling the nowforeclosed business.

“Usually people who get involved in ski hills, they’re making their money somewhere else and the ski hill’s just nice to have,” said Gary Powroznik, managing director of Vancouver-based G-Force Group.

“And so that’s why in a lot of cases small ski hills are kind of owned by people in the community,” he continued, adding, “I think there are probably people in the Okanagan who might be of that ilk.”

G-Force was approved earlier this month by a B.C. Supreme Court judge to sell the Mount Baldy Ski Corporation in order to pay off a creditor who sought the foreclosure order.

Powroznik said the creditor, an American lender operating under the name of Stark B.C. Venture, claims it’s owed $4.4 million, while the corporation’s total debt is likely closer to $10 million.

Since taking on the marketing job, G-Force has contacted 100 people in the industry and prepared detailed information packages, all in a bid to facilitate a quick sale, Powroznik explained, noting he’s seeking the best “business solution” to turn around the operation and begin paying back creditors.

“We’re trying to find someone quickly who will open for this year,” he said.

In a statement posted on the Mount Baldy Ski Corporation’s website in December 2013, president Brent Baker said owners hadn’t been able “to fund and complete our maintenance and certifications on the lifts,” so the usual Christmas opening had been cancelled.

“Plain and simple, Mount Baldy needs either a refinancing or an additional equity infusion in order to move forward,” Baker said.

Company owners could not be reached for comment this week, and the phone number for their Oliver office is no longer in service. The hill, with two chair lifts serving 35 runs, is located about 35 kilometres east of Oliver.

Assets included in the foreclosure include four development lots totalling 18 hectares, ski lift equipment, plus other intangibles, like land tenure agreements with the B.C. government. The site also boasts approximately 120 privately owned cabins, owners of which don’t appear to be in a rush to sell.

“The cabins up there are still way overpriced,” said Karen Amos, an Oliver realtor.

“Because just to have a cabin out there with no amenities, I don’t know how much they’ll be worth after the foreclosure.”

The Penticton Pinnacles under-21 teams are prepared to face the pressure to win the Pacific Coast Soccer League’s (PCSL) Challenge Cup, which they host this weekend at King’s Park.

Ray Hintz, coach of the women’s team, said the players put pressure on themselves, as and he does, because they have standards they want to reach.

“We are here to win.

It would be kind of disappointing if we don’t,” said Hintz, adding that all four teams (West Vancouver FC, Peninsula Co-op Highlanders and Kelowna United) are strong.

“It’s really important for us to try and defend it (Bill Gillespie Challenge Cup). I would love to see the girls defend their title on our home turf. We have never won a title on home turf.

“It would be great to see that happen this weekend,” continued Hintz.

The Pinnacles (8-4-0) face West Vancouver FC (7-4-1) in their semifinal match, while Peninsula Co-op (9-1-2) and Kelowna United (4-8-0) play in the other. The winners advance to the final.

Hintz knows what they are up against as West Vancouver FC is a club that likes to attack.

They have the league’s leading scorer in Daniela Smith (13 goals).

Adding to the challenge are some roster adjustments. While the Pinnacles have been without leading scorer Melanie

the season with back-to- www.burger5 5.co back wins over Kelowna #84 - 52 FRONT STRE m ET United and the Mid Isle Highlanders. Randy Hubber netted the winner and insurance marker, leaving him second in league with 10 goals.

What Seddon-Johnstone liked about the last win was their defensive play. Their focus will @pentictonsports continue on that side of the ball as scoring isn’t a concern.

The Pinnacles (9-3-1) will take on the Victoria Highlanders (5-5-3), who the Pinnacles lost to once and tied. The Mid GET A AT Isle Highlanders (10-1-1) BODY & SOL SPA take on West Vancouver FC (4-7-1) in the other AND semifinal.

Camp spots open The 33rd Penticton Basketball camp has openings for the boys and girls sessions.

Gordon Herbert of Penticton will be instructing the boys camp again. The Frankfurt Skyliners coach, who will be assisted by UBC-O Heat players, looks forward to building on last year’s camp.

“Teaching fundamentals, but at the same time making

it fun,” said Herbert, in an email from Las Vegas. “Giving the kids the knowledge on how to train by themselves, how to develop their skills. I want to make it an enjoyable, positive experience.”

The boys camp is from July 28-31, while the girls camp is from Aug.11-14, at Pen High Secondary and Princess Margaret School from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. To register, call Fred Fedorak at 250-493-6387 or register online at http://www.members.shaw.ca/flfedorak/index. html.

The suspense finally ended for Jordan Kober.

The Apex Freestyle Club alumni has reached his childhood dream of being on the Canadian National Freestyle Ski team’s mogul squad. The CFSA made the official announcement on July 16.

“Ever since I was little, that was what I was working towards,” said Kober on the phone from Whistler where he is training. “Definitely a big stepping stone.”

Kober, who competed on the Canadian Sport Institute team with brother Josh, said it was pretty cool to be named to the development group. What’s also cool for Jordan is being closer to the skiers he looks up to. On one of the dry land training days, he had a moment while they played street hockey.

“I’m just sitting on the bench and there are some of the best skiers in the world right beside me,” said Jordan, who looks up to Mikaël Kingsbury, a silver medal winner at the 2014 Sochi Olympics.

“That’s a cool feeling.”

In joining the squad, he adds another Kober to the team as his father Rob is the coach.

“That’s a little different,” said Jordan.

Rob said he is proud of his son, but added that with the excitement comes stress.

“Inevitably he will feel some undue pressure having dad as the coach,” said Rob. “Selecting the team this year was a long and frustrating process. It is typical at the beginning of a new Olympic cycle to have some changes in staff and structure, and this time around has been especially slow to sort out. Normally, the team would be named by mid-April, so to have to wait until July was difficult for me both as a coach and a dad. The upside for Jordan is that the delay allowed him to focus on school and his graduation this year.”

Rob was removed from the decisionmaking process to eliminate any conflict

of interest. He was consulted on all the athletes ranked for the team but the final decisions were left to their high performance program director and the selection committee. There is a system that ranks Canadian mogul skiers based on their results from various levels of competition.

As excited as Rob is about Jordan joining the team, he will not actually work with him very much.

“My focus as head coach is more on the planning and logistics of the team and on our top World Cup skiers,” said Rob. “I have always tried to be conscious of not putting any pressure on any of my kids to ski.”

Rob said Jordan had a typical season for a talented 18 year old growing into his body.

“He showed some real technical gains, but did not necessarily show this consistently in competition,” he added. “I don’t think he really put together any competition runs last season that reflect his current ability. It was a good training/learning season, but not a great competition season. The one exception to this was Jordan winning at the Junior National Championships.”

AFC alumni Connor Spence was also named to the national mogul squad, but declined his spot. Rob said he’s exceptionally talented and added he hoped the delay in naming the team didn’t sway his decision.

“I know he is also very strong academically and he plans on pursuing his post-secondary education,” said Kober, adding he was very disappointed that Spence declined.

Also on the national team are Matt Margetts in group B of men’s half pipe, Andi Naude of Penticton in B group for women’s moguls.

AFC also has Josh Kober, Kyle Parker, Mackenzie Schwinghamer, Madison Parker and Noah Spence advancing to the B.C. mogul team.

ERIC SEIDER gets out of trouble on the first hole Saturday during the Penticton Golf and Country Club’s 2014 Jackson Triggs men’s open. Seider won the championship after scoring 213 over three days.

A champs battle Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Eric Seider started the final round of the Penticton Golf and Country Club’s (PG&CC) 2014 Jackson Triggs men’s open Saturday trailing by three shots.

When it was over, he was crowned champ by that same number.

“It was very close, right up to the last couple of holes,” said Seider, of Victoria’s Bear Mountain Golf and Country Club, who carded a 213.

Seider trimmed a three shot lead to one with nine holes remaining. He said that was good considering the windy conditions and firm greens.

Seider hasn’t played much this season so he took a conservative and patient approach, which he said worked.

“I was able to post three consistent rounds,” said Seider, who shot 71 each day, while runner-up Brooks Lancaster of Penticton carded a 216. “Although it was not my best golf, I was able to lean on my short game.

“It was very satisfying to get the win,” Seider continued. “I just stayed focused on making pars and didn’t get discouraged with the bogeys. It was also nice to be able to play a good final nine holes in front of the crowd that came out to watch, including some friends and family.”

Seider, general manager of Golf Town Victoria, enjoyed the social aspect of the tournament, adding it was well organized and one of the best events he has played in. He entered the championship after being encouraged by a friend who played in it several times. His wife’s family also lives in Penticton.

“My wife and I decided it would be a good little get-away, I play in the golf tournament and she can visit with family,” he said.

“A win-win situation.”

The overall low net winner was Penticton’s Joey Kozakevich, who carded a 204.

Guy Dow, Canadian Professional Golfers Association at PG&CC, said the 56th men’s open was a great success. Several visiting players were happy with it despite the hot weather. Dow received many positive comments on the quality of the course and the tournament, adding that players liked that it was three days long, making for a good holiday golf trip.

To say Russell Manning enjoyed his experience with Team B.C.’s under-19 men’s rugby team during the Canadian Rugby Championship (CRC) may be an understatement.

“Oh my god it was so much fun,” said the Princess Margaret grad, adding it was awesome to have the B.C. crest on his shirt while playing in St. John’s, Nfld., July 16-20.

“You’re at the national tournament with all the best players in the country for your age group.”

Manning and Team B.C. faced the Ontario Junior Blues for the national championship, but fell short 14-5 against a defensive juggernaut.

“They are just such a solid defensive team,” said Manning, who has also played for the Penticton Harlequins and helped them win the Saratoga Cup two years ago. “It would have been harder for us to play any better.”

Manning, who plays rugby for the UVic Vikes, said after watching the game film, they could see the weak spots they had.

Manning said Ontario was a very fast, offensive squad.

“As soon as you get the ball out, they are up in your face,” said Manning, who took pride in representing his province for the first time, while being one of the top 25 players. “You have to make a really quick decision.

They were very smart.”

B.C. opened the CRC with a 26-7 win against the Prairie Wolf

The B.C. Rugby website states that the U19 CRC is the top 15-aside youth rugby competition in Canada and features players eligible for Rugby Canada’s U20 entry at the annual Junior World Rugby Trophy. The tournament also serves as a feeder for the senior men’s CRC, featuring the highest level of Canadian players.

Stampeders on the road to Peachfest Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

,WÂśV EHHQ QHDUO\ KDOI D FHQWXU\ VLQFH WKH 6WDPSHGHUV ÂżUVW got together, but performing is still a thrill for the classic Canadian rockers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not work for us, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun. I look forward to it,â&#x20AC;? said frontman Rich Dodson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really enjoy going on the road and doing these dates.â&#x20AC;?

The Stampeders will be in Penticton for Peachfest, taking the main stage on Aug. 9 for a 9:30 p.m. show.

If anything, Dodson said, touring is more fun now. Âł,WÂśV QRW WKH ROG GD\V :H GRQÂśW KDYH ÂżYH WRQ WUXFNV DQG roadies and all that stuff. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more fun touring this time around than the early â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70s when we had to haul all that stuff around, said Dodson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really great being able to get out and do what we do, and reconnect with the old fans.â&#x20AC;?

They are, he joked, a little more careful about keeping their health in line, and have cut back on the partying. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not like we used to, no. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the bottled water guys now,â&#x20AC;? said Dodson.

The Stampeders drove to the top of the charts in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70s with songs like Wild Eyes, Carry Me and Sweet City Woman, ZKLFK ZRQ %HVW 6LQJOH DW WKH -XQR $ZDUGV LQ WRSSLQJ RXW DW 1R RQ WKH 530 PDJD]LQH FKDUWV and No. 8 on the U.S. %LOOERDUG +RW FKDUW VWD\LQJ WKHUH IRU ZHHNV Dodson said their classic hits are on the setlist for Peachfest, along with some new music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is always new tunes that come up.

and do all the old stuff as best we can,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like doing the old stuff. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a trick to pull it off and have it sound tight and everything. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the band is very tight, I think the band is tighter than it was in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70s.â&#x20AC;?

Over the years, musicians have come and gone with The Stampeders, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always come back to the same trio that IRUPHG WKH JURXS LQ 'RGVRQ 5RQQLH .LQJ DQG .LP %HUO\ â&#x20AC;&#x153;The trio was the nucleus â&#x20AC;Ś the most fun and I am glad we are back to it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a challenge but I think we make it work,â&#x20AC;? said Dodson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The trio is the nucleus that had all the hits. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all

written songs that were hits and we have all sang songs that were hits in Canada.â&#x20AC;?

Having played together for so many years, Dodson said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve developed a close relationship, both musically and emotionally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been sort of like three brothers. We have a lot of fun on the road together and that is really what it is all about,â&#x20AC;? said Dodson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rehearse a lot, because we pretty much know how one another is going to think.â&#x20AC;?

Dodson said the band is looking forward to Peachfest and revisiting the Okanagan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70s we played there a lot,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The outdoor festivals are still the most fun. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to be outside in the elements and have that whole atmosphere. Penticton is a nice little spot so we are looking forward to it.â&#x20AC;?

Dodson said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give much thought to their place in the pantheon of Canadian bands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really feel like a Canadian band, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll put it that way. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to be one of the old timers,â&#x20AC;? he said.

ZAKIYA HOOKER is coming to the Dream Café on July 30 and 31.

Waterford Ave

Zakiya Hooker is promising a complete education in the blues when she arrives at the Dream Café next week.

The show starts, she said with some of the very traditional, acoustic only styles, from performers like Lead Belly, and songs like Ain’t it a Shame and Backwater Blues.

While she takes a break, Chris James steps in with some Rhythm & Blues and soul, before Hooker returns to the stage.

“Then I do another portion of the show that is a bit more contemporary, with some of my dad’s — One Bourbon, One Scotch, songs like that — then some of my own” said Hooker. “It’s going to be a full spectrum. You go from the very beginning up to now.”

“Dad” in this case was blues legend John Lee Hooker, known for his signature guitar playing and talking blues style.

Though she’s still singing the blues, Hooker said she is a very different performer.

“My dad used to tell me this, ‘Do what you do.

You are not me and don’t

let people try to make you me,’” she said. “No one will ever live up to what he did. He is out there in a field by himself, he is such a unique icon.”

Hooke said her voice is different and not just from her dad’s gravelly bass.

“It is not your typical female blues singer, who is this big belter. I’ve got more of a jazzy blues voice,” said Hooker.

It was her dad that started her love of the blues, though.

“I’ve always loved the music. I loved to sit out and listen to my dad and the guys who came to the house to play. I would dance and it was always just so cool to me,” said Hooker, joking that back then, she didn’t know just how cool these musicians were.

It’s been a number of years since Hooker toured in Canada. She says she is looking forward to coming back and to performing at the Dream Café.

“I love intimate clubs, because people have a tendency in an intimate club to actually listen to the music, said Hooker.

Hooker will be performing at the Dream Café on July 30 and 31.

Sorrows in the village This week’s selection: All my Puny Sorrows by Miriam Toews In the Mennonite community of East Village, a young girl learns to play the piano. However, in this community music for entertainment, especially by a female, is reprehensible. Village elders descend on the home, demanding the music stop.

You may have guessed that this is a scene from a new Miriam Toews book. The Canadian author has featured several aspects of Mennonite life in her writing. In her latest, All My Puny Sorrows, two sisters, Yolandi and Elfrieda, struggle to get out from under the shadow of their cultural upbringing.

Their family doesn’t fit the mould, and at first, it seems as though they won’t back away from their ideals. Elfrieda keeps playing piano, although she has to leave town to do so.

Elfrieda grows up to become a beautiful, famous and wellloved concert pianist, but it isn’t enough. She has lost the will to live. Yolandi, who loves her sister dearly, is determined to stop her sister’s suicide. She argues with her sister, who has landed in hos-

Heather Allen Armchair Book Club

pital after the latest attempt on her own life.

Using memories from childhood, Yolandi recounts why Elf must live: Other people need her.

Her death would be too hard on their mother, who has already endured the suicide of her own husband and her niece.

Yolandi is torn. She wants to keep her sister alive. At the same time, because she loves her sister, Yolandi wonders if it isn’t her duty to end her sister’s pain, and take her to Switzerland where assisted suicide is legal.

All My Puny Sorrows is Miriam Toews, a literary powerhouse, working at her finest. The book is a nuanced, subtle layering of ideas that doesn’t give easy answers. It

exposes the sheer complexity and near impossibility of someone who wants to live understanding someone who does not. Although the story isn’t biographical, it is personal. Toews’ own father and sister committed suicide.

All my Puny Sorrows is not all dark, containing its fair share of Toews’ quirky and cracking wit.

When Yolandi’s father was hit by a train, the family used the $77 left in his pocket to buy Thai food.

After all, they reasoned, the living still need to eat.

I wanted to love every minute of reading this book. Instead, it took me a few days to digest and then to come around to truly appreciating it. I suppose that was one of the book’s many subtle messages: Life isn’t going to be all joy. In fact, we sometimes create more unhappiness trying to erase all of life’s puny sorrows.

Heather Allen is an avid reader and book reviewer living in the Okanagan.

HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced.

“The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small.

I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.”

Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.

“ I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.”

Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home.

My world has to offer. youngest Charlie helped My last adventure was me load and unload from Vancouver to Kelowna to visit some friends City fuel economy and he noticed the low power lift gate switch and hang by the lake, get that shorter people can a bit of tubing time behind can be frightening our gracious host’s boat but I was surprised at access easily. and take full advantage of how good this truck Inside some B.C. wine. time you get four is, even when taking Any The wonderful thing people in a car for over about my job is that I get advantage of the new four hours, the high and to hand pick the vehicle 120 km/h speed limit low points of the interior for heading out on the design bubble to the on the Coquihalla highway, and I always surface. My wife instantlike something roomy and highway. ly loved the two-tone powerful with cars – with Zack Spencer black and beige leather German often on the seats that are heated top of my list.

Milo ❤ 267 Martin Street Penticton, BC 10102 Main Street Summerland, BC

the 5.7L Hemi V8 with 360hp, moving all that power to four wheels through an 8-speed automatic. City fuel economy can be frightening but I was surprised at how good this truck is, even when taking advantage of the new 120 km/h speed limit on the Coquihalla highway. The Durango put in a solid 11.8 L/100km, with more than 900 km driven. Keep in mind I didn’t soft foot my way to or from Kelowna. I did notice that the fuel economy improved vastly the closer I stayed to 100 km/h.

The handling is a bit top-heavy in the corners, especially at higher speeds, but after some initial body roll, the Durango is very stable. One notable feature is the automatic fantastic adaptive cruise control, making the ride very enjoyable.

Verdict If you drive in the city, the base 3.6L V6 engine might be a better choice based on fuel consumption but, if you drive a lot on the highway or tow a boat (3,265 kg towing capacity), the

Hemi is the right choice. Power was always there to pass and pull up a hill and the fuel economy can be good if the driver watches their speed. The V8 has the ability to switch off four of the eight cylinders when the truck is under light load and accessing this as often as possible makes a big difference.

Another thing to consider is price: the Durango is not inexpensive, starting at $39,995 for the V6 and running up to $52,495 for the top Citadel V8.

My family loved spending time in the Durango, we all had a lot of space and the trip was effortless. Our next adventure is to Portland, Oregon in the Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel. I can’t wait to see how that new truck compares.

The Lowdown Power: 3.6L V6 with 290hp or 5.7L V8 with 360hp Fill-up: 15.6L/9.1L/100km (city/highway V8) Sticker price: $39,995-$52,495

Top down driving in sunny California Bob McHugh

The Nissan 370Z (Zee or Zed) oozes youthful energy with its edgy design and wholehearted performance.

Add warm California air to enhance the open sports car driving experience and roll back a few years, at least temporarily.

My two days in Los Angeles were spent mainly in and around Pasadena, a short freeway drive (16 km.) northeast of the downtown core.

There are no beaches, piers, theme parks, giant roller coasters and no kids ... OK, just a few little darlings.

It does have beautifully preserved historic buildings, magnificent gardens, art galleries, museums and a vibrant “old town” district with theatres, bars and many great restaurants.

This “Z” was designed by a Canadian.

A talented young man called Randy Rodriguez from Surrey, B.C. who works at Nissan’s U.S. design centre in California.

That magic moment of divine inspiration for the Z’s fluid styling lines apparently came while he was watching “shark week” on the Discovery Channel.

He also has cleverly incorporated some subtle styling references to the original 240Z, a classic sports car.

The Z’s one-touch, auto-latching convertible top can open or close in about 20 seconds and comes with a glass rear window and an integrated electric rear window defroster.

It also comes with a fabric inner liner and a hinged metal body-colour tonneau cover that gives a top-down 370Z a classy finished look.

This Z has a lighter and more rigid body structure than its predecessor and a more powerful 332-horsepower 3.7-litre DOHC V6 engine.

There’s a lovely “growl” from its dual exhaust pipes when you prod the gas pedal.

The drive goes to the rear wheels via a viscous-type

limited slip differential.

A noteworthy high-tech engine enhancement is its Variable Valve Event and Lift Control (VVEL) system, which adds extra power, yet improves fuel efficiency and provides cleaner exhaust emissions.

Wandering on less travelled roads towards the towering San Gabriel Mountains, which create a picturesque backdrop to Pasadena, was an opportunity to play with the Z’s delightful rev-matching 7-speed automatic transmission.

A 6-speed manual transmission can also be fitted (via a sport package) and it comes with a downshift rev-matching feature, a “world first” for Nissan engineering.

It’s a snug driver cockpit that offers limited storage (although there is some extra space behind the seats), a single cup-holder centre console and a pull-up style park brake.

I used all the rear travel provided on the driver’s seat and had the seat cushion set to its lowest position – a six foot- plus tall driver is likely to have space issues.

Getting in or out of the lowslung Z wasn’t as painful an exercise as I feared it might be, but if you suffer from back or joint ailments a taller vehicle would definitely be a better choice.

The hip point for the driver’s seat is very low and you sit with legs extended forward, viewing the road ahead over what suddenly seems like a much longer hood.

Its short windshield and surrounding glass give Z a chopped racy appearance and the moulded design of the tonneau cover enhances its classic “double cockpit” roadster styling. Vertical door handles have become a signature feature of modern Z cars.

Auxiliary turn signal lights, on the front fenders, also hail from older generations of Z. An exceptionally good power-to-weight ratio allows an under-six second 0 to 100 km/hour acceleration

time and puts this Z into elite sports car territory.

Yet, when you consider its comparatively good fuel economy numbers and sane pricing, it’s still one of the smarter “expensive

with both Sport and Navigation packages in Canada, but these packages are optional in the US. There’s also a basic (non-Touring) edition of the 370Z Roadster that sells

plaything” purchases.

In Canada, the Roadster is offered in a Touring trim with both 6-speed manual and 7-speed automatic transmissions.

Touring automatic comes

for $41,470, south of the border.

Not too long ago, high-performance cars guzzled fuel, belched smog and were a workout to drive.

Not so now, sports cars like

the Nissan 370Z Roadster are surprisingly fuel-efficient, and environmentally friendly. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Bad things often happen to good cars in the movies. Here are a few that make car lovers squirm.

1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder Ferris Bueller’s Day Off: This scene is perhaps the most famous bit of classic car mayhem in all of moviedom.

In it, the Ferrari is seen placed on jack stands running in reverse in a hilariously stupid attempt to remove the miles that had been put on the car during the day’s class-cutting good fun in Chicago.

In a fit of frustration directed at his misplaced-pri-

orities jerk of a father, Cameron Frye (Alan Ruck) accidentally kicks the car off the jack stands and it sails out of its glass enclosure into the woods below.

Happily, as with the Miura and the Aston, it wasn’t a real California Spyder.

1970 Dodge Challenger Vanishing Point: The ’70 Dodge Challenger (one of about five used for the film) meets a fiery end when the protagonist of the film (played by Barry Newman) drives it into a bulldozer being used as a police road block.

1967 Lamborghini Miura P400 The Italian Job: The Miura is probably the most beautiful mid-engine sports cars of all time.

And that’s what makes this scene so hard to watch.

In the opening scene of the movie, mobsters destroy heist-plotter Roger Beckerman’s (Rossano Brazzi) Miura with a backhoe and push it over a cliff.

A small consolation is the fact that an actual intact Miura wasn’t destroyed. Just body panels over an empty accident-bent chassis.

Interestingly, when the producers went to clean up the mess the next day, the remains had disappeared.

Neither the chassis tag nor any of the pieces have surfaced to this day.

Automotive tragedies from the big screen to why you should never park your car with the sunroof open within a half-mile radius of where alcohol is being served.

Young Spalding Smails, suffering from a case of ‘affluenza’ combined with Johnny Walker, staggers up to Dr. Beeper’s parked 930 and empties the contents of his upper GI tract into the open sunroof.

The squishy sound-effect of Beeper sliding into the seat never fails to make one cringe.
