Nine other workshops included swiftwater rescue, rope rescue, tracking, recovery and survival.

The ground search workshop became a real scenario as reports of a man missing from the campsite came in on late Thursday night, (September 4). Nelson Search and Rescue search manger and training officer Scott Spencer said there were 25 members conducting a grid search for Paul Tayes. “Anything more than that is hard to control,” he said.

SAR groups came from Elkford, Sparwood, Fernie, Kimberley, Cranbrook, Invermere, Creston, South Columbia (Trail) Rossland, Castlegar, Kaslo, Penticton, Oliver, Osoyoos, Revelstoke, and Keremeos.

Robin Beech from Rossland Search and Rescue was suspended above Kokanee Creek from a guideline with a stretcher as part of the two day interregional search and rescue training at the provincial park near Nelson.

ager Chris Armstrong said for the first time there was a formatted BC Coroners service workshop as more and more SAR are asking for proper training. There was also a high skill level technical rope rescue and some serious swift water training which had members literally making their way up Kokanee Creek.

Armstrong said enrolment was higher than the usual 5060 participants. “We

With all the things they do, are they still doing general dentistry?

YES! Not only do we provide treatment for TMD, cosmetics, orthodontics and snoring/sleep apnea, we also enjoy the day to day dentistry. Come in today for a free consultation to see how we are different. We welcome new patients.

wanted to change it into a workshop format versus scenario based.

It’s more attractive because it’s more technical.”

“The main goal of this is to work with other SAR members.

Volunteerism is getting less and less so it’s harder and harder.” He explained that when SAR gets a call, it’s almost always a collaborative effort [with other area SAR]. “So if you’re hanging on a rope in the middle of

the night, it’s good to know the person who’s on the other end of the rope.”

Nelson SAR has 38 members with training in marine, swift water, rope rescue and back country avalanche skills. They are all volunteers.

“These people are leaving their employment and their kids soccer practice to go save your life,” said Armstrong.

Plenty of fish upstream

Meadow Creek Spawning Channel open house September 13 If you really want to see “redd” then Meadow Creek Spawning Channel open house is the place to be on September 13.

Between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., visitors can see plenty of redds – the gravels nests of the Kokanee – as well as the colour red, with tens of thousands of Kokanee, either on the spawning beds, or jostling to get into the spawning channel.

The channel is managed by the Ministry of Forests and primarily funded by the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program. It can accommodate hundreds of thousands of spawning Kokanee (last year the count was 166,000) and millions of eggs.

It plays a vital role for Kokanee; accounting for about 75 per cent of total Kokanee fry production in Kootenay Lake.

They get an average of 25-35 call outs per year. Armstrong said Nelson SAR are the seventh busiest out of 79 teams in BC, the busiest of which get 75-80 calls per year. Not including first responder calls, there are 3,150 SAR calls in BC with a 94 per cent success rate of finding a lost person in the first 24 hours.

The number of calls to Nelson SAR varies from year to year. “It goes in waves,” said Armstrong.

“This year we’ve had 40 calls,14 of which were recoveries. “It’s been very hard for our crew as the average is 3-4 [recoveries].”

He said the economy, weather, avalanche conditions, and warm springs when kids are out all influence the number of calls.

He said October through January is their quietest time.

Their calls reflect the seasons. Fall is hunting season, winter is avalanche, spring is swift water rescue and mushroom pickers and summer is the tourist season.

What advice does Armstrong have? “Always have a plan and tell someone where you are going. Many people change their mind and go somewhere else. Take the essentials: a map, a cell phone, a SPOT or beacon, fire starter, warm clothes, and a light. Imagine what your would want if your day trip got changed into being stuck in the wilderness over night and think about what you would want to have; then bring it with you.”

SEMINAR and private sessions: Clear the Gap You’ve got the next great business idea, a plan, a winning team, the passion and desire to make it happen but . . . you just need the money to put the plan into action.

Every entrepreneur has been there, and it’s hard. Finding the capital, (financing or investors) necessary to get an idea off the ground is typically the most difficult, time-consuming and stressful piece of an entrepreneur’s dream.

Where do you start?

What options are out there?

“There are a wide variety of financing and investment options out there for early stage companies,” noted workshop presenter Dave Thomas of Rocket Builders. “I’ll be

there to explain some of the options, and look forward to discussing interesting growth companies’ businesses to help them find the best fit. Last year I met great people and a lot of very interesting companies. To my knowledge, at least two have been funded since then and are growing well.”

If you’re looking for the right way to get financing for your innovative company or start-up, the Kootenay Association for Science and Technology (KAST) and New Ventures BC (NVBC) are working together to bring you a value-rich financing seminar on Wednesday September 17, and an exclusive one-one opportunity to discuss your business’s

financing needs with experienced angel and venture capital advisors to figure it out (five spaces available Thursday, September 18).

“There are 12 key questions every early stage company must ask themselves, and be able to answer well before they can successfully pitch investors or financers for start-up capital,” explained Khalid Hansraj, Manager of Business Development for Innovate Calgary/ Alberta Deal Generators. “I’ll be running through those questions, and helping attendees work towards the answers.”

Bigfoot sparked monster truck madness

By Ian Harwood

When I first started my career in the off-road and truck accessory business I was a young and impressionable 18 year-old.

I was impressed with some of the successful off-road shops in the US but I wondered how they had become so succeeded in business.

One that came to mind was Midwest Four-Wheel-Drive & Performance Centre, owned

by Bob Chandler, creator of the legendary Bigfoot monster trucks. Back then large off-road tires for pickups were not available; this forced Bob to think outside the box and looked to the agriculture industry. He bought a set of 48” tall Firestone tires and along with some custom made wheels; he mounted them onto his truck.

People from all over the states started talking about his truck. He was invited to car shows and tractor pulls and that started drawing attention from the four wheel drive magazines. His shop also started to grow rather quickly with all the new interests in 4x4 modifications.

A mechanic in his shop gave the truck the nickname Bigfoot because of the way Bob would drive it, heavy foot on the gas pedal.

I was looking through one of

those magazines and saw a small picture taken from just outside the shop bay door. It was his truck with 66” tall Goodyear tires. I remember thinking he was crazy. After that the monster truck craze began.

I was fortunate enough to meet Bob at a trade show in Las Vegas. His truck was there on display and he was outside sitting at a table having lunch. I approached him, not recognizing him in his cowboy hat and asked if the spare seat was taken. Very nice man, he shared with me some of

his frustrations with parts breaking and how he ended up custom building a lot of parts in his own shop. Other people started building their

own trucks and soon side-byside competition began.

There were crazy names for these trucks such as; Goliath, Taurus, King-Kong, Grave Digger, and Samson. It was a big thrill for many just to see these trucks drive slowly over some junk cars. They would stop in the middle and get out a wave. Soon fans wanted to see more, so the trucks would pop a wheelie before crushing them. Two cars became eight and then buses.

I saw Taurus drive up several cars and onto the roof of two double decker buses. The truck came very close to rolling off, but after a few adjustments to the rear steering he climbed along and then off.

BUDGET 2015 CONSULTATIONS

The suspension of that time was more about lift height to accommodate the largest tires rather than full suspension travel which came next.

The Baja race trucks could handle large jumps without any trouble, so the monster trucks started the change.

Massive coil over shocks and four-point suspension that could handle the weight and abuse these trucks would dish out. Now the monster trucks could hit the cars at tremendous speed and fly through the air impressing all. Bigfoot #18 holds the Guinness World Record for the longest jump by a Monster truck at 214’ 8”. The popularity of these trucks

ASTON

kid named Larry Sellers has likely stolen Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski’s (Jeff Bridges’) battered Ford Torino, possibly containing a large sum in ransom money. The Dude and his extremely anger management-challenged bowling buddy Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) head for little Larry’s house. On the way in, they’re dismayed to find a red 1985 Corvette parked in front of the house and they figure the kid has already started to blow the money.

When standard interrogation techniques prove fruitless, Walter takes a crowbar to the Corvette’s glass. The Corvette turns out to be the neighbour’s car.

1941 Lincoln Continental (“The Godfather”): You could always count on the hot temper of Sonny Corleone. The Barzini Family certainly did. They also knew that when Carlo, the abusive lowlife husband of Sonny’s sister Connie, would hit her, Sonny would respond by unleashing the Hiroshima of beatings on Carlo. The most direct route from Sonny’s fist to the jawbone of Carlo would take him through the tollbooth at the Jones Beach Causeway on Long Island, where the Barzini’s hit men were waiting with Thompson sub-machine guns. The result was not pretty for either Sonny or the Lincoln.

1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 (“Fast Times at Ridgemont High”): The Camaro was owned by intimidating high school football prospect Charles Jefferson (played by the great Forrest Whitaker in one of his earliest roles).

Jefferson’s little brother and surfer/stoner Jeff Spiccolli (Sean Penn) take the car cruising one night in the San Fernando Valley and wreck

it. Spiccolli pops the classic line, “My old man is a TV repairman, and he has an awesome set of tools. I can fix it.” Ultimately, no repairs are undertaken. Rather, the damage is blamed on car thieves from a rival high school whom Ridgemont is playing in a big football game. An incensed rhino-like Jefferson is seen later delivering paralytic revenge hits in the subsequent game.

1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE convertible (“The Hangover”): Future father -in-law entrusts his non-Car Guy future son-in-law with his treasured Mercedes convertible for a pre-wedding jaunt with friends. Granted, they were supposed to be heading to sedate California wine country, but they go to Vegas instead. The extreme body damage that the handsome Benz suffers is predictable for anyone who has seen “Animal House.” The damage done to the interior

by Mike Tyson’s pet tiger?

That’s novel.

Well, he stood around the pit garage as World Chap Sebastian Vettel’s car was readied for the Belgian Grand Prix.

Morgan will report on his race weekend in Spa, Belgium, in next week’s Driveway.

He’ll also reveal the inside secrets he discovered earlier during a behind-thescenes tour of the Infiniti-Red Bull Race team factory in Milton Keynes, England, and offer an account of his drive through the EuroTunnel to France in an Infiniti Q50. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Flex crossover dares to be different

By Bob McHugh

Flex is a short name for a big Ford utility/ wagon type vehicle that can accommodate six or seven people with ease and seat them with an impressive degree of comfort.

Made in Canada, Flex is a hard-to-categorize vehicle that was introduced for the 2009 model year. Not a car, a minivan or an SUV, Flex borrows from them all, so the ‘crossover’ tag is also very appropriate.

Stylistically the Ford Flex dares to be different. What appears at first glance to be a simple two-box design is actually more complex. It has generally straight styling lines yet there are no sharp corners. Its

drive was a ($2,000) optional offering.

The only engine was a 3.5-litre V6 engine that can deliver 262 horsepower at 6,250 rpm and 248 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,500 rpm. It’s mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and drive goes to the front wheels. Highway fuel economy is surprisingly good 8.4 L/100 km, but the city rating is a much thirstier 12.6 L/100km.

Two changes came in 2010 in the form of a new (lower-priced) entry level SE trim version of Flex and the other was a new optional 3.5 litre V6 EcoBoost engine (Limited trim only). Turbochargers and direct fuel injection allow this engine to provide V8 like power, yet still offer it still offer V6 fuel economy. The MyKey secu

two-tone paint finish is separated by the dark centre greenhouse section, which gives Flex a distinctive ‘floating roof’ appearance that’s also appealing.

On the inside, even with all its seats upright there’s still 566 litres (20 cu ft) of cargo space in the back. That jumps to 1,224 litres (43.2 cu. ft) with the third row down and a whopping 2,355 litres (83.2 cu. ft) with the second row flat. The front passenger seat can also fold forward and allows Flex to swallow 3-metre (10 ft) long object, with its liftgate closed. Flex can also have an impressive max towing capacity of 2,041 kg (4,500 lbs), when properly equipped.

Originally (in 2009) Flex just came in SEL and Limited trim levels and all-wheel

2010 Ford Flex

rity feature and an AutoFold 60/40 bench seat were both added as standard equipment in all Flex trim levels.

Flex crossover dares to be different continued from page B10

A new top-line Titanium edition of Flex was added to the product line in 2011. It comes with the V6 EcoBoost engine and all-wheel-drive. And other than a switch to a centrally mounted rear windshield wiper there were no significant changes in 2012. The 2013 edition of Flex got a mid-life styling refresh that included a slicker new front-end treatment plus minor improvements to both engine offerings.

Safety ratings are all top-notch and this, plus high owner reliability ratings, has helped put the Ford Flex on Consumer Reports “Recommended” list of vehicle

buys. Although not as fuel-efficient, the standard 3.5 litre engine reportedly has fewer problems compared to the newer and more powerful turbo-charged V6 engine option.

Ford Flex not only looks different, it is different … and it’s a Canadian! Polarizing (love/hate) styling lines provide an interesting wrapper for what is actually a very practical family vehicle.

Ill-named but a luxury car for real

By Zack Spencer

Differing definitions of luxury in the automotive market are truly reflected in the eyes of the beholder.

To one person it might be having all the refinements and gadgets available in a modern car accompanied with a smooth and quiet ride. To another buyer it might just be about the name on the front of the car, letting all to see it that the owner has “made it” es-

tablishing a certain status in society. For many it’s a combination of both.

Enter the new Kia K900 luxury sedan from Kia. It has all the refinement and features found in cars with a longer pedigree in the luxury space but this car offers it at a discount. Then the name on the car comes into play. Is the Kia K900 a car anyone aspires to own? Well, after a weeklong trip with my family I’m more impressed with Kia than I have been before

but the realist in me knows Kia isn’t a luxury brand, at least not yet.

Looks The K900 is an unfortunate name, it begs the question is this a dog? No, it is a fullsize car about the same size as a 7-series from BMW or SClass from Mercedes Benz.

The K900 is based on the same platform as the Hyundai Equus but differs in price and content. For a full-sized car with limo-like dimensions, the K900 starts at a

remarkable $49,995 for the V6 model and $60,995 for the V6 premium model. The top V8 model is $69,995.

The styling is strong, especially the top V8 model seen here with LED headlamps and taillights and very North American looking chrome multi-spoke wheels. The rear doors are huge and Kia has done but good job of keeping the proportions of the car in check while grafting Kia’s signature Tiger Nose grille. The rear bumper and

Kia K 900 a luxury sedan for real continued from page A15

Every person that sat in the K900 was blown away with the refinement, fit and finish and especially the materials used. The V8 test model had leather covering the front of the dash and piano finish on the wood trim accented.

Add in tasteful chrome and aluminum, dark, rich wood on the steering wheel and centre console and the K900 looks like a million bucks.

The front and rear seats

came with ventilation and V8 models have a rear seat reclining feature. Despite spending countless hours behind the wheel travelling with two children in the back, the car offered a very relaxing ride for the passengers, and the kids especially liked the cooled seats on a very hot day. The centre infotainment screen is controlled with a rotary dial in-between the front passengers and is very similar to Audi’s MMI system.

Drive

The V6 model comes with the very competent 3.8L engine that puts out 311hp. having tried this in other Hyundai/Kia products and it is smooth and powerful.

The V8 is superb, with 420hp coming from a 5.0L V8, there is no lack of power. The shift in the auto industry is to smaller engines that utilize turbo charging but Kia is sticking with good old engine displacement to get the job done. Covering more than 1,000km, the real world fuel

economy was 12L/100km on the highway. To say that the K900 is smooth and quite is an understatement, I would put this car up against the new S-Class from Mercedes and a blindfolded passenger would have a hard time distinguishing the difference.

What does become apparent is the K900’s lack of steering feedback to the driver and cornering ability. On Highway 3 from Hope towards Penticton the K900 wallowed in the switchback corners, it really

didn’t like it at all. Driving back on the Coquihalla was a different story; the K900 shines in open road cruising, making it a wonderful long road trip companion.

Verdict The K900 is Kia’s very first pure luxury car and they got a lot right. The interior is as good as anyone in the marketplace and Kia does it at a substantial discount to the competition and power isn’t a problem especially with the big V8 available.

But there were a few problems. The automatic lock and unlock feature on the outside doors only unlocked. This is probably a quick fix but an issue and the Bluetooth audio didn’t work either. Another stumbling block is the lack of all wheel drive (AWD). In this segment almost all vehicles sold come with AWD, in fact most companies only offer it. The market for this car is a happy existing Kia owner wanting to upgrade to something more and that

is where the V6 model comes into play. Kia might not sell many of these cars but they have it for sale to show anyone that is interested that they can make a true luxury car, maybe not in name but in features and refinement. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 3.8L V6 with 311hp or 5.0L V8 with 420hp Fill-up: 15.7L/10.3L/100km (city/highway V8) Sticker price: $$49,995$69,995

When the 2014 Sorento was named Canada’s Best New SUV, it gave us a unique problem: they quickly sold out. Enter the new 2015 Sorento, an early release built on Kia’s winning ways. With a choice of two engines – a thrifty 4 cylinder and an increasingly rare but potent V6, a backup warning system, and sensors that detect vehicles in the driver’s blind spot – the new Sorento is all that and more. Best of all, it’s still priced like a 2014. Check out the future today and save like yesterday.

Ask Keith’s media contemporaries to describe his approach to anything he undertakes and you will hear such words as “passion”, “enthusiasm”, “energy and “innovation” used repeatedly.

Never in neutral, the Brit-trained news guy drives projects as he would a finely tuned car, adding the options and features along the way to make the experience as good as it can be.

Indeed, Keith is an innovator in developing editorial content for all media platforms and a master at weaving informative and entertaining material of wide appeal into imaginative revenue generation projects.

He launched his journalistic career in 1975 as a reporter for his hometown newspaper in Blackpool, England, moving to Vancouver in 1980 where he began a 32-year-career with The Province/ Vancouver Sun. Latterly he created such highly profitable and readable specialty sections at the papers as Driving and Sunday Homes.

The multiple-award-winner broadened his media experience by authoring two books, making regular TV appearances, hosting talk shows in Vancouver and Kelowna and writing and executive producing The Province Road Test quiz show for prime time TV. Away from the day job, Keith has donated his creative abilities in support of the Coast Foundation’s Courage to Come Back Awards, the United Way and the Christmas Bureau. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Ian Harwood has been involved in the light truck industry for the past 30 years. His career started with the opening of a small 4-wheel drive shop in the early 80s. This shop was involved in custom fabrication, complete 4x4 rebuilds, and sales of off-road related products.

This would prepare him for his current position as Manager for Custom Truck Parts, one of the largest accessory warehouses in Canada.

Ian started his journalism career in the late 1090s with a column in a national magazine for automotive enthusiasts.

In the spring of 2005 Ian was approached by a local news outlet to write a weekly column. Wilderness exploring, fishing and four wheeling have been his passion since he was a teenager.

Some memorable moments in Ian’s career are flying in by hto the famous Rubicon Trail in Northern California and driving a 2007 Jeep Wrangler out of the backwoods, up a waterfall and out of the trail to Lake Tahoe. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca
