Regular flights from Trail to Kelowna take off next week sheri Regnier West Kootenay Advertiser

The City of Trail will be celebrating an historical take off next week after the first incoming flight from Kelowna lands and the first Trail-to-Kelowna flight departs a half-hour later.

Seats are filling up fast for Monday’s inaugural flight on Pacific Coastal Airlines’ 19-seat aircraft, which is scheduled to leave the Trail Regional Airport at 2:15 p.m. and land in Kelowna about 40 minutes later.

Flights will operate six days per week, excluding Saturdays, and scheduled to depart Kelowna International Airport at 1 p.m. arriving at the Trail Regional Airport at 1:40 p.m. The aircraft will depart Trail at 2:15 p.m. arriving back in Kelowna at 2:55 p.m.

Spencer Smith, Pacific Coastal’s vice-president of Commercial Services, said the company has been studying expanding Trail routes for some time and a recent restructure opened up the option for West Kootenay travellers heading to the Okanagan city.

“The residents of Trail, Castlegar, Nelson and the Kootenay Boundary region have been calling on us to provide this route for years,” Smith said in an earlier press release.

He stressed that the flight plan isn’t a “market test,” and the company is committed to the Trail-Kelowna route as long as it remains economically viable.

Expanding opportunities to the Trail airport, which the city purchased from the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary one year ago, plays into past and current council’s long term vision for the area.

In order to ensure our regional customers get reliable air access at competitive rates, it is imperative the city continues with the necessary facility and operational improvements to run the Trail Regional Airport.

“The Trail airport is a vital establishment for medical and Medevac Air Ambulance travel as well as business and personal travel,” said Trail Mayor

Pacific Coastal will begin flights from the Trail Regional Airport to Kelowna International Airport on Jan. 12.

Mike Martin. “If we want Trail to continue to thrive, then the Trail Regional Airport needs to be viewed as a critical economic building block that will help maintain and improve the regional’s long-term sustainability.”

Martin’s comments were made in light of a recent proposal by the West Kootenay Economic Development group to develop a regional airport study that would include the Trail service.

The City of Trail does not support that study, confirmed David Perehudoff, Trail’s chief administrative officer, adding that the

city will be moving forward with the Trail Regional Airport Plan that will advance options to improve and enhance current operations, infrastructure and economic development.

“The city believes that as a community, we need to consider what level of service council wants to provide independent of the airport in Castlegar,” Martin explained.

He said the city remains committed to elevate the $1.6 million investment to take airport ownership.

“In order to ensure our regional customers get reliable air

access at competitive rates, it is imperative the city continues with the necessary facility and operational improvements to run the Trail Regional Airport.”

The city’s planning study includes the construction of a new terminal building as well as identifying other opportunities for the land holdings at the airport.

Through grant opportunities such as the Airport Capital Assistance Program, the city is pursuing funding commitments for a new terminal as well as further runway expansion that would accommodate larger aircraft.

Courage gets B.C. face in Ebola fighter Patrice Gordon Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C. Ebola fighter Patrice Gordon’s hospitalization this week after coming down with a fever has put a B.C. face on the army of medical heroes battling the killer disease in West Africa.

The Rossland nurse practitioner was released from an isolation unit at Kelowna General Hospital Thursday after three tests for Ebola came back negative.

She returned Christmas Day from four weeks in Sierra Leone and drove to hospital Dec. 29 – part way into her three-week period of selfquarantine at a Kelowna hotel – after developing symptoms now thought to be merely a severe cold.

Gordon spoke out Friday after finding herself in a media spotlight, saying she hopes more B.C. volunteers help fight the epidemic and that they can return home to face less stigma and fear than she did.

“Don’t be afraid of us when we come home,” she told reporters by phone, insisting medical workers like herself and designated hospitals are well prepared to prevent spread of the disease. “If I had it, it would have ended with me.”

Gordon’s Christmas Day arrival was a lonely one – nobody met her at the airport and she went straight to a hotel room to begin her isolation.

“I would have loved to have somebody come and give me a hug. But I certainly wasn’t about to broadcast that I had just been in one of the countries affected by Ebola because I didn’t know what kind of reaction I was going to get.”

Gordon previously worked overseas in Afghanistan and

Reminding you to Recycle!

Nurse has no regrets and considers a return to West Africa continued from page A3

“The pull for me to be able to go and use my skills and try to make a difference there was huge,” she said.

Her three adult sons were “not impressed” with her decision to go on the mission in the first place and were “very worried” to learn she was in hospital being tested for Ebola.

But Gordon says she has no regrets, despite sweat-soaked work and having her “heart broken 10 million times” as victims young and old perished.

“I would not change a thing, except to make Ebola go away,” she said.

“This is how we make the world a better place – we go and do what we can.”

Seven others from B.C. are now selfmonitoring for symptoms during their own 21-day Ebola incubation periods and nine previous volunteers have undergone the three-week wait and been cleared.

All shared in an unexpected honour — Time Magazine’s declaration of Ebola fighters as its Person of the Year.

“The entire world is pulling for you guys,” she recounted telling the stricken Africans, who she insists are the “real heroes” fighting the disease.

A possible return to the Ebola battlefield of West Africa has already crossed her mind, even though the B.C. nurse remains under hotel room lockdown until she’s deemed safe from the disease on Jan. 14.

“My family’s going to kill me,” Gordon said. “But they know me well enough to know that I would already be contemplating going back.”

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.

The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

suspension but the S model does run on 20-inch wheels and tires making it feel very connected to the road. This will not be the choice of traditional luxury buyers; they will like the more upscale 300C for grand touring.

Verdict Starting at $37,395 and maxing out at $45,295 for an AWD platinum V6 model, there are many trims to choose (V8 equipped cars run roughly $2,000 more).

The base is the value leader, the S is the sporty model, with standard 20-inch wheels, and the 300C Platinum is the one featuring the opulent interior. Chrysler believes that the S model will be the volume leader thanks to the aggressive black trim and chunky wheels. This is a surprise because the Dodge Charger is based on the same platform and has the whole “bad boy” attitude in spades, something the 300 looks to be mimicking. The top Platinum would be my choice because it’s interior is so different from the Dodge, something that truly separates the two cars plus it has all the latest safety features including the autonomous braking system when a crash is detected. Much has changed in 10 years for the 300 but the same goodness that was in the 2005 model is still here; it is the refinement that makes this a modern sedan.

Keep your hands off the steering wheel

By Bob McHugh

“Take me home Super Cruise” could be a command that future Cadillac owners may be saying to their automobile, in the not too distant future.

GM’s luxury brand seems likely to be first automaker to offer a fully automated driving feature in a production vehicle. Super Cruise is one of three entries vying for the 2015 AJAC Best New Auto Safety Technology Award. A similar entry from Honda called AcuraWatch takes us to the brink of automation and another GM entry will be of interest to those who like to cruise the internet.

GM - Super Cruise: Super Cruise is the working name that GM has given a yet to be released automated driving technology that will (or can) allow hands-off-

the-wheel lane following, braking and speed control, in certain highway driving situations. The goal of this technology is to increase the comfort of an attentive driver on freeways, both in bumper-to-bumper traffic and on long road trips.

The claimed safety value of Super Cruise is that it could mitigate many traffic collisions and improve traffic congestion. The system sends and receives basic safety information such as location, speed and direction of travel between vehicles that are approaching each other. It will warn drivers and can supplement active safety features, such as forward collision warning, already available on many production cars.

Super Cruise will also add a new lane-centering technology that relies on forwardlooking cameras and other

used to measure driver eye glance behavior and control interactions in computergenerated automated driving situations.

A combination of radar, ultrasonic sensors, cameras and GPS map data are used

by Super Cruise to provide 360 degrees of crash risk detection bubble around the vehicle and enhanced driver assist features. Super Cruise is still undergoing real-world driving assessments and is expected to make its way into Cadillac production models in 2017.

Honda/Acura – AcuraWatch: A system that takes vehicle operation to the brink of automation, AcuraWatch is a suite of driver-assist technologies that’s offered in the Technology and Elite editions of the new Acura TLX. An interesting new tech included in this package is

sensors to detect markings, curves and other road characteristics. It will also use a series of alerts to communicate with the driver based on human factor research conducted on test tracks.

the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow (LSF). Unlike other systems of this ilk, it uses both grille-mounted (millimeterwave) radar and a windshield mounted camera to monitor and maintain a preset vehicle speed and following distance interval to

the vehicle directly ahead.

The Low-Speed Follow feature is designed primarily for use in stop and go traffic. If the vehicle ahead slows to a stop, the TLX will also come to a stop. If the vehicle ahead then moves within 3 seconds, the TLX will automatically resume

Low-Speed Follow mode.

If the vehicle ahead does not move within 3 seconds, then the driver can resume Low Speed Follow by pressing the “RES” switch up or down, or by taping the gas pedal.

GM - 10th Generation OnStar: A 10th generation of GM’s OnStar telematics system with 4G LTE has been rolled out in most of its 2015 model year vehicles. It basically turns the vehicle into a WiFi hotspot that allows occupants to connect up to seven personal devices (smartphones, laptops, tablets etc.) and have them work just like they do at home.

The 4GLTE feature also enhances OnStar’s array of safety and security services and provides a more personal experience as the OnStar agent can stay on the line as they manage the vehicle data interface. A new addition is remote diagnostic, which provides a customer with a monthly health status on their vehicle and it can also assist with arranging a maintenance appointment.

A clever smartphone app, called OnStar RemoteLink Key Fob Services, allows an owner to lock or unlock doors, activate the horn and lights, and remotely start a properly-equipped vehicle. It’s included free for five years. OnStar is standard in all 2015 GM vehicles and advisors currently respond to approximately 185,000 calls every day.

All three technologies are competing for the 2015 AJAC Best New Auto Safety Technology Award, which will be announced at the Montreal Auto Show on January 15, 2015. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Ian Harwood 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

Jaguar F-Type Coupe is truly a fast cat

By Rob Rothwell

The Jaguar F-Type pushes the storied marque deep into serious sports car territory with outstanding performance and an exhilarating driving experience.

As I dropped my aging butt into the heavily contoured driver’s seat of Jaguar’s new F-Type Coupe the first thing I learned was that it was a long way down!

High doorsills made ingress even more challenging but the hardship of entry was well worth its cost.

With the introduction of its F-Type, the storied British marque now offers hope to greying loyalists needing validation that sixty is the new forty. Regardless of age, the machine rewards its pilot with an exhilarating driving experience more Porschelike in its execution than Jaguar-traditional.

The F-Type – nominally regarded as today’s version of the revered E-Type – arrived on Canadian soil as a 2014 model, available only as a convertible roadster. For the 2015 model year, Jaguar put a lid on its edgy two-seater with the introduction of the Coupe version. Its stunning lines steal the spotlight from the near-venerated convertible.

Surprisingly, the sensual body of the UK’s latest icon encompasses plenty of head and legroom, not to mention decently sized stowage beneath its narrow rear hatch. But Costco capacity isn’t a hallmark of sports cars, the F-Type included. Of greater importance is what’s beneath the bonnet.

A range of three power plants are available, two of which are supercharged V6 mills each displacing 3.0 litres yet developing 340 and 380 horsepower respectively. The subject of this week’s review is the brawnier of the pair, denoted by the “S” within the Coupe’s nomenclature.

A third engine choice ups the testosterone immensely. The supercharged 5.0 litre V8 beneath the hood of the F-Type R Coupe dispenses a massive 550 horsepower to the Jag’s rear wheels. All three engines are backed by a ZF QuickShift 8-speed automatic transmission with shift paddles.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! With advanced technology to keep you connected, unreal fuel efficiency that’s less expensive than Ram’s EcoDiesel, and unmatched quality and refinement, when you step into the all-new 2015 Colorado, you’ll know you made the right choice.

Jaguar F-Type Coupe is truly a fast cat continued from page A12

With regret, I must inform our driving purists that the F-Type – Coupe or Convertible – is not available with a manual transmission. Pity really. Nonetheless, this cat has claws and plenty of forced-fed performance.

Unlike its more traditional siblings, the F-Type doesn’t impart the soothing qualities of a restrained engine note and supple underpinnings. Nope. Nada.

Rather, it is raucous, brash, and by some accounts – that being my better half’s – uncivil. The raunchiness is justified though given the exceptional performance capabilities and egoistic essence of the machine.

Jaguar literature pins a 0-100km/h time of just 4.3 seconds on the F-Type R Coupe and 4.9 seconds on

the slightly tamer S version. The base car arrives at 100km/h in 5.3 seconds, yet there’s far more to this cat’s ability than sprinting.

I particularly enjoyed my tester’s quick, precise steering and exceptional road-feel. Communicative steering allows the driver to feel every little tug and tag the road surface inflicts upon the wheels, which the F-Type delivers with little filtering. This quality also enables the driver to sense the approaching adhesion limits of the rubber, which is essential for track driving.

I had the opportunity to drive the F-Type on Mission Raceway’s road course last year and know from that experience just how competitively the car performs. There is true sports car DNA here with driving dynamics further hastened by highly responsive brakes, which clamp immediately and remain pre-

dictable, linear, and fade-free throughout.

While the F-Type may not be my choice with a free pass to the Jaguar showroom, it’s a watershed vehicle for the storied manufacturer, and one deserves every bit of praise it receives.

Please help yourself to my valuable tools and equipment

By Ian Harwood

If you leave your vehicle with your tools or valuables in it for just a moment and you might as well advertise free equipment for the taking.

At job sites, fences have to be erected to keep people out and many end up hiring security guards so crooks can’t get at the valuable building products at night.

Despite the level of awareness for the need for tighter security at building sites, too often it doesn’t extend to the vehicles used to transport the

valuable equipment and materials.

‘‘

I have seen trucks and vans with upwards of $50,000 worth of equipment lying on the floor without any real security.

’’

Ian Harwood

I have seen trucks and vans with upwards of $50,000 worth of equipment lying on

the floor without any real security.

People that drive open bed pickup trucks have a real challenge when it comes to security.

You can buy a canopy and secure it that way, but sometimes you need to carry large and unusual shape objects and the rear gate of most canopies are not designed to be left open while driving.

There are a few ways you can solve this problem. One way is to install a permanent toolbox that mounts to the rails of your truck box, and has ei-

ther two lids or one large lid that opens from either side or back to front. These toolboxes are available in plastic, steel, and aluminum.

I recommend steel or aluminum, which will cost you between $550 and $850. This type of toolbox works well for people that carry smaller amount of tools and supplies around.

If you transport larger amounts of these items, then I suggest a job-site box, which is a large container that can be left at a job site.

They are very secure and

come in a variety of sizes.

Van drivers can outfit their vehicles with shelving units down one or both sides.

These also come in differing sizes and configurations enabling you to tailor them to your specific needs.

You can also incorporate small parts bins to organize fittings and larger ones to house small tools – they will keep your stuff from rolling around on the floor.

You should also think about installing a steel bulkhead partition behind the driver seat, because I have seen

tools launch themselves like missiles toward the driver as the vehicle comes to a sudden stop.

Actually, it’s not really a matter of choice because Worksafe BC requires companies to install these protective barriers in commercial vehicles.

To secure a van from intruders you can buy what’s called a hasp-n-lock. This type of lock is a puck style lock with two plates of steel around it.

When installed correctly, it is almost impossible to remove and keeps your tools and

equipment safe. It is available at most locksmiths and costs about $175.

One more idea is to install window screens to prevent any smash and grabs from happening. It sounds like a lot of work, but remember, it just takes a split second and everything is gone.

Be proactive instead of reactive and stop crime before it happens.

Now is not a good time to make significant financial decisions, Gemini. You have to make changes when the time is right, and you will know when that day arrives.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

Cancer, your mood is uplifting to those around you. Maintain this optimistic outlook in the weeks ahead, and good fortune is bound to come your way.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

Leo, don’t be afraid to accept a helping hand at work. Seek help from others if no offers are immediately forthcoming.

Explore all of your networking possibilities.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

Keep an extra-sharp mind this week, Virgo, as there isn’t anything you cannot accomplish if you put your mind to it. Try tackling those big projects that you have been avoiding.

Libra, a problem with no obvious solution has you seeing both sides of the argument.

Dwell on things for a little while longer, and the solution will eventually come to you.

Scorpio, you are planning some big moves and you are bound to have a number of supporters behind you. Others want you to succeed so take an opportunity and run with it.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Take extra care with projects at work, Sagittarius. A difficult problem may arise, and a careful approach to the tasks at hand can help you nip that problem in the bud.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Capricorn, you will forge a new relationship this week, and it may lead to a solid friendship that lasts a number of years. Feelings are bound to get more intense.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

This is a great week for brainstorming, Aquarius. Once you have a few solid ideas, put your plans into motion. At least one should pan out quite well.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Someone is trying to steer you in one direction, Pisces. Politely decline if that direction is the opposite of what you want to do.
