BEST 500 COSTUME

Numerous individuals over the age of 40 experience an ever growing problem regarding the weakening of the bladder and the sphincter muscle that controls the release of urine. This condition often relates to an increased urgency to urinate and/or the inability to control urination. Even though weak bladder control affects both genders, there are twice as many women who suffer from it as men. Ultimate Bladder Control contains 100% natural form of a patented water-soluble pumpkin seed. Pumpkin seeds have a long history of use in helping to alleviate various bladder conditions. Pumpkin seed oil is often sold as an accessory ingredient in bladder aiding formulas due to its significant ability to alleviate urinary difficulties. However, according to new research, it is the water-soluble portion of pumpkin seed that is much more effective. A major reason for this is due to the efficiency in which water-soluble pumpkin seed is absorbed into the bloodstream. Water soluble pumpkin seed extract is able to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles of the bladder.

Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett. Submitted

Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines and Minister Responsible for Core Review, announced the release of the Province’s draft recommendation aimed at seeking improvements within the existing framework of the Columbia River Treaty. “We believe there are improvements that can be made within the existing framework of the Columbia River Treaty and we’re working with various stakeholders, First Nations and the public to identify them. The treaty consultations helped form our draft recommendation, and further feedback will ensure everyone will have their say in the future of the trea-

ty,” said Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines and Responsible for Core Review. The draft recommendation follows a recent trip to Washington D.C. by Premier Christy Clark where she advocated for treaty improvements in B.C. during a series of meetings with senior leadership in the United States Congress. The Columbia River Treaty Review Team is also continuing to engage U.S. parties to explain B.C.’s perspectives. The draft recommendation includes principles that will guide the Province in any discussions on the future of the treaty with Canada and the United States. These include consideration of flood control, hydropower generation, ecosystems, climate change and benefits to B.C. The provincial Columbia River Treaty Review has included economic, environmental, social, hydrological and legal analyses as well as extensive public and First Nations consultation leading to a decision on whether to continue, amend or terminate the Colum-

bia River Treaty with the United States. Both B.C.’s treaty review team and the U.S. Entity (Bonneville Power Administration and the US Army Corps of Engineers) are expected to make final recommendations to their respective governments in December. The draft recommendation document is available for public review and comment until Nov. 20, 2013, after which the Columbia River Treaty Review Team will prepare its final recommendation to Cabinet. Further public input is being sought to ensure regional interests help shape the future of the Columbia River Treaty. The Province of British Columbia and the Columbia River Treaty Local Governments’ Committee invite the public to a discussion on the future of the Columbia River Treaty at upcoming community workshops. • JAFFRAY Monday, Nov. 4 - Jaffray Hall, Jaffray Village Loop Road • GOLDEN Tuesday, Nov. 5 - Golden Civic Centre, 898 Hwy #95

Cops for Kids donations still coming

No thanks

The recent proposal to court the federal government to have a new penitentiary built near Kimberley after an existing BC pen requires replacement is well-meant but wrong. OK. Let’s get a something out the way first. The story is about relocating a provincial penitentiary in about 10 years and not about adding another penitentiary in the province. This pen will get relocated when the need arises, so the question is whether or not the area is better off with or without it. Kimberley could definitely use the cash an industry like this brings, although RDEK Board Chair Rob Gay phrased it more eloquently as, “Federal prisons are economic generators.” First mentioned by Don McCormick, Kimberley councilor, the idea does have an appeal to it in the numbers of jobs that could come from becoming a federal penitentiary city. An influx of wellpaid jobs are definitely welcome here. The problem is that the number of jobs that would go to locals is a lot smaller than at first glance. The guards and some other staff will be members of the Union of Canadian Correctional Officers (UCCO). Besides getting decent pay for their members, this union will also make sure that existing employees will get first shot at any job here. In that regard, it is also safe to assume that non-unionized workers already employed would also be allowed to relocate. This probably wouldn’t leave many permanent jobs for the locals.

A proposed penitentiary relocation near Kimberley is not the economic generator it is purported to be. As for those jobs, let’s take a look at what being a correctional officer is like. This is a brutal job. Kevin E. Bedore, a Canadian federal correctional officer, wrote in a wellsourced 2012 article for the UCCO that correctional officers have arguably one of the worst jobs on the planet. He cited research that shows this group has the second highest mortality rate of any occupation, a higher substance abuse rate than the general population and a 39 per cent higher suicide rate than any other occupation. Any other occupation. That’s profound. The same goes for the building of the penitentiary. Again, chances are that the contractors bidding for this large job will have experience building prisons, putting local contractors at a disadvantage. Regardless of local jobs though, having a large group of fully employed people moving to the area is definitely good for the economy. Some will rent, some

will buy homes and all of them will contribute greatly to the community. But here is where NIMBY (not in my back yard) comes to play. Kimberley has spent a lot of time and money in the past decade to be identified as a resort destination. Correct or not, there is a stigma attached to federal penitentiaries that will have a chilling effect on tourism. Kimberley Mayor Ron McCrae is against the penitentiary idea, although it is hoped that he is still keeping the door open to industry. There is no doubt that Kimberley needs more industry. Council and residents are constantly working towards attracting new business and industry to the city and new suggestions are always coming forward. This most recent suggestion, is not a fit for the area. Back to the drawing board.

Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines and MLA for Kootenay East, tries his hand at haul truck driving using the simulator at the College of the Rockies. Submitted Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk got a hands-on demonstration today of a haul-truck simulator during a visit to the College of the Rockies. “Haul-truck simulators at the college are preparing students in the region for B.C.’s mining sector with hands-on training,” said Virk. “We expect thousands of jobs in the mining sector to open up over the next few years - particularly in the Kootenays - and we need to ensure we are training students in the right region with the right skills.” The college bought four stationary haultruck simulators and one mobile simulator through funding totalling more than $2.8 million. Funding sources included $580,000 from the Province, $560,000 from the Columbia Basin Trust, and more than $1.7 million through Western Economic Diversification. “With over 4,000 employees working at the five coal mines here and many of them ap-

proaching retirement, the opportunities for my constituents to find well-paying work with Teck Coal are excellent,” said Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines and MLA for Kootenay East. “The only hitch is that you need skills. This truck simulator is a terrific way to provide skills for a job that is in demand at the mines. Congratulations to the College of the Rockies for stepping up to provide this training.” The simulators run through real-life scenarios and help students gain hands-on experience that complements

their classroom and online instruction. The first intake of students to benefit from the new equipment was in August at the college’s Fernie campus and September at the Cranbrook campus. The programs run on a monthly basis, with the next intake of students due on Oct. 28, 2013. “The success of the college’s new haultruck operator training program demonstrates the power of partnerships,” said College of the Rockies President and CEO David Walls. “The funding support we received is helping to ensure our students

are well-prepared to enter the job market across the province.” “Columbia Basin Trust has heard from basin residents, industries and educators that employment and training are priorities in our region,” said Neil Muth, president and CEO, Columbia Basin Trust. “We applaud the College of the Rockies for taking the initiative with these haul-truck simulators to increase training opportunities and help meet the high demand for skilled labour. CBT is pleased to contribute to such a worthwhile project.” The provincial government funding is part of a $17-million investment in public postsecondary institutions across British Columbia to upgrade skills training equipment in line with the BC Skills and Training plan commitment to ensure students have access to the right training tools that will equip them with the skills regional economies need.

Fibromyalgia is a what we call a waste basket diagnosis. When all other conditions that cause fatigue, muscle pain and headaches have been ruled out and there are no other obvious diagnoses available, the patient is told they have Fibromyalgia (FM). It is not known what causes Fibromyalgia however there are obvious links to stress, other illness and possibly genetics. Most researchers believe it is cause by a several factors acting at once. From a naturopathic perspective, the symptoms of FM can be managed well using nutrients like malic acid, magnesium glycinate and manganese. These nutrients help manage muscle inflammation and pain and while they don't treat the cause, they come as welcome relief to many people with FM. There is another possible cause of FM that is very treatable: Lyme Disease. Many people diagnosed with FM actually have undiagnosed Lyme, a difficult-to-diagnose disease caused by a bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi. Deer ticks infected with the Borrelia bacterium transmit the infection when they bite.

In the classic case, the bite causes what is called a bullseye rash which is then followed by fever, joint and muscle pain and fatigue. Both FM and Lyme cause the following symptoms: muscle pain, fatigue, headaches and difficulty with thinking, memory and concentration. Typical treatment for Lyme disease is with the use of long-term antibiotics. While this works for many, it also comes with significant risk. As I wrote about in several articles recently, antibiotics also kill the beneficial organisms that naturally live in our digestive system. When this bacterial balance is altered, a whole cascade of possible harmful effects can occur. Effective Lyme treatment does not require antibiotics. The body has all the tools it needs to defend itself, it just needs the appropriate support. To treat Lyme (or a misdiagnosis of Fibromyalgia) without antibiotics requires several steps: treating bacterial, viral and fungal (co)-infections, supporting detoxification pathways, replenishing probiotics and stimulating cellular clearing.

Waste Reduction Week October 21 to 27

Reducing our footprint From October 21 through to the 27, Canada will be focussed on Waste Reduction Week. It’s an important time to reflect on our “disposable” society and the impact it’s having on our planet. The way we dispose of garbage sends several tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, directly affecting global warming. The daily choices each of us make have consequences on the earth’s current and future state of health. Approximately 25 per cent of garbage in Canada is composted and the other 75 per cent is sent to landfill sites or is burned. Canada has over ten thousand landfill sites, the contents of which are mostly organic in nature. This organic waste ends up between layers of garbage and earth and begins to break down within the landfill itself without any Serving the entire East Kootenay

Moving forward to a Cleaner future

greater responsibility for our impact on the planet is by evaluating our “ecological footprint.” A concept pioneered by Dr. Bill Rees at the University of British Columbia, the ecological footprint helps us measure the amount of waste we produce and the amount of earth surface needed (measured in hectares and acres) to generate the energy and resources we use to live our lives. The average ecological footprint for every individual on our planet is about 7 acres; Canadians require 7.8 acres. Mathematically, the numbers show there isn’t enough earth surface available to provide each of this planet’s almost seven billion inhabitants 7.8 acres of productive land all to themselves. We’d need one and a half earths to sustain our current rate of consumption! There are several online resources available for evaluating ecological footprints, or you can take a quiz on Environment Canada’s website at: http://www. myfootprint.org/en/visitor_information/. There are so many good reasons to reduce waste in our country; why not become a part of a growing movement to clean up our home?

Events held during the week bring entrepreneurs together at conferences, luncheons and trade fairs across the country where they have the opportunity to learn, network and enjoy themselves in the company of their peers. BDC Small Business Week™ 2013 takes place October 20 – 26 under the theme: SUCCESS AHEAD! MAP YOUR FUTURE GROWTH Every business begins with an idea and a vision. Yet the roadmap to growth is never simple. Canadian entrepreneurs know that long-term success requires passion, commitment, hard work, a great offering and a solid plan. Expanding your market—whether at home or abroad— demands determination and adaptability, resources, an appetite for greater risk and

even a little luck. Use BDC’s Small Business Week 2013—a time to celebrate and recognize the nation’s business owners— to help map your future growth and success! BDC Small Business Week™ is a Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) trademark whose origins date back to 1979 when

Succession planning typically conjures up images of retirement and death. Therefore, it is no surprise that business owners are reluctant to think ahead to a time when they can no longer run their companies. Please join us for an informative presentation by Grant Robinson of The BDO SuccessCare ProgramTM who will, instead, show you how to transition to a bigger future for you, your family, and your business. While you will inevitably exit one day, our approach will help ensure that you have more choices as to how and when you sell or transition. DATE: TIME:

What to know before SMALL BUSINESS WEEK SUCCESS AHEAD! MAP YOUR FUTURE GROWTH Growing businesses need more going to the bank October 20-26, 2013

Say you’ve got a small business in need of a loan. You’re growing, and you’d like some extra money for an expansion project. Sales are going up, and you’re making a nice profit. Should be an easy sell to the bank, right? Not necessarily, especially if you don’t do your homework, says Pat Latour, Senior Vice President, Financing and Consulting, at the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC). “If you’re going to expand, you’ve got to have a plan. If you don’t, you can jeopardize the rest of the business that is doing well,” he says. Many businesses walk into a bank’s office without the right planning—and then they’re surprised when their loan request is turned down. “Knowing the numbers is key. How will the expansion affect your profitability?” Latour asks. “Growing businesses need more working capital because they’re often supporting additional inventory and more staff. And it often takes a while for the expansion to increase profitability,” Latour explains. “On the other hand, an expansion can also lead to unexpectedly rapid revenue growth. Entrepreneurs should also plan for that scenario and be ready to use the extra revenue to aim even higher,” he says. How do you get your

ducks in a row for a successful loan request? First, take time to work out your anticipated return on the investment, including not just the cost of the fixed asset, but also the way your business operations will change as you grow. Second, it’s vital to think about your timing when applying for a loan. Businesses often wait too long, Latour says. Instead, they use cash flow to finance major expansions or, even worse, wait until they’re facing a cash crunch to see the bank. “One of the biggest reasons businesses fail or an expansion doesn’t succeed is a lack of working capital. It’s always easier to get financing beforehand than when you have a timing crunch,” he says. Latour advises fastgrowing businesses to meet their banker every year to get a

working capital because they’re often supporting additional inventory and more staff. And it often takes a while for the expansion to increase profitability,”

pre-approved loan for capital expenditures, which they can draw on instead of tapping working capital. Such a credit facility also lets a business react more quickly to opportunities, since it doesn’t need to apply for a new loan each time it needs funds. Change to grow Sean Darrah learned some of these lessons at his fast-growing food services business, Pace Processing. Starting from a 1,500-square-foot space

maxed out, and Darrah wanted to expand into a new, bigger building. He had always used working capital

to finance his growth, but he now realized he needed a loan for the costly expansion. He was in for a surprise when he approached a bank and was initially turned down. Despite sales growth of 25% to 30% per year, he had been spending all his operating cash and writing off equipment every year. “It looked like we didn’t have many assets,” Darrah says, who then hired an accounting firm to help him demonstrate his company’s true value. The bank took another look and agreed to the loan, which allowed Pace to move into its own new 25,000-square-foot building in 2010. Darrah also got a line of credit for future capital spending. “What pre-

Both your alkaline and rechargeable batteries are recyclable!

Recycling 101

Milk Carton Recycling

• Mixed paper – including paper, phone books, magazines, envelopes, post it notes, flyers, soft and hard cover books, and newspapers. If it’s made of paper, it goes in the yellow bin. • Aluminum or tin cans – this includes all beverage and food cans (ie/ soup, tuna). Cans should be well rinsed. Remove labels if possible. • Cardboard – from big boxes to cereal, toothpaste, and cracker boxes. Please flatten all boxes. The only time cardboard can’t be recycled is if it is covered with wax, foil, or food waste. Examples include pizza boxes and milk cartons. These items should NOT go in the recycling bin. They belong in the garbage. Milk cartons can go to the Bottle Depot for recycling. • Grocery Bags – make sure there are no receipts or other garbage and that the bags are clean. • Plastics #1-#6 – plastic must be clean and must have a number on it. No Styrofoam (even though it is marked #6). See below for more information.

The Blue Bag Curbside Programs in Invermere and Fernie accept the same materials as the yellow bins.

Plastics Basics Only plastics #1-#6 are accepted. If you are unsure of whether a piece of plastic can go in the bin – check to see the number. If it’s between 1 and 6, it can be recycled. If it’s not, reuse it or throw it in the garbage. All plastics MUST be numbered.

What’s NOT accepted: × Styrofoam – even though Styrofoam is marked with a #6, it is NOT

recyclable in our program. × Unmarked plastics – if it doesn’t have a number on it, it can’t go in the bin. Often the lids are made out of different plastics than the containers, so you have to check carefully. Each piece must be numbered. × #7 plastics – #7 plastic is NOT recyclable through the RDEK’s program. × Dirty plastics - Plastics must be clean. That means conditioner and shampoo bottles need to be rinsed out so there’s no residue left in the bottle. All food containers (like ketchup, mustard, peanut butter, etc.) should be thoroughly rinsed and milk jugs must have the caps removed and be well rinsed before being placed in the bin. If you have a plastic with some kind of handle (ie/ an ice cream pail with a metal handle), the handle should be removed – even if it’s made of plastic.

Local businesses and residents are getting their curling arms ready for Big Brothers Big Sisters’ annual fundraiser – Curl for Kids Sake 2013. It’s their most important fund raising event of the year taking place November 1 & 2, 2013 at the Cranbrook Curling Centre. Teams from all over the Cranbrook and Kimberley area have been collecting pledges online and on pledge forms to raise money for community mentoring programs. This year’s Curl for Kids

Sake fund raising target is $20,000, and Big Brothers Big Sisters is counting on the campaign to finance more than 20 per cent of the agency’s youth mentoring services in 2013/2014. “We truly appreciate the efforts of the teams and sponsors participating. The pledges the teams collect and contributions received is what makes our youth mentoring programs possible” says Dana Osiowy, Executive Director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cranbrook. “Our local agency has more than 15 children and

youth on waiting list for a Big Brother or Big Sister. This campaign not only raises money, it also raises awareness for our organization and the programs we offer. Curl for Kids Sake is a meaningful way to directly help kids and it’s also great fun.” There are spots still available. All it takes is a team of four, a pledge form and an outfit from your favorite decade. Also this year, the event is a celebration of Big Brothers Big Sisters 100th Anniversary. The Curl for Kids Sake campaign is dedicated to driving local

Large scars occur on the hillsides, where a single motorbike may have made a trail, and others then followed and widened. Racetracks circle lakes and cut through sensitive riparian areas.

Chinese production of ORVs has lowered the purchase price, which has meant that not only can a family now afford one quad or bike, they likely have one for every member of the family. There has been a significant increase in the

With the warm weather upon us, the Grasslands Conservation Council (GCC) wants to remind recreation enthusiasts using off-road vehicles (ORVs) such as ATVs, 4x4s, and motorcycles to ride respectfully and responsibly. BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grasslands are an incredible gem â&#x20AC;&#x201C; vistas of grass swaying in the breeze, large expanses of open ground that provide not only valuable forage and habitat, but incredible aesthetics and open areas for the recreating public to enjoy. Unfortunately, to some, the grasslands means an opportunity to ride their

grassland areas are increasingly common. Every year, new trails are developed as the older ones get dusty or less challenging to ride. These impacted grasslands are now ripe for establishment of invasive plants, soil erosion, loss of forage, and loss of habitat for nesting birds and other small mammals. BC has become a mecca for mo-

gathered a group which later became known as the ORV Coalition, and over a period of years of dialogue, the coalition eventually provided 47 recommendations to the BC Government aimed at bringing in regulation to manage motorized activity. These recommendations were aimed at managing environmental impacts as well as focusing on public

and rider safety. In 2009 the government finally announced endorsement of these recommendations under an ORV management framework – motorbikes would be licensed, identifiable, and regulations brought in to ensure that bikes had spark arrestors and mufflers. Managed trail systems would be part of this initiative to ensure that trails were sustain-

able, and properly located. Today, in 2012, this legislation is shelved yet again. There are still no regulations governing the irresponsible use of motorized vehicles. Section 46.1 of the Forest and Range Practices Act was passed in 1994 to provide enforcement agencies legislation to deal with motorized activity and environmental damage.

To date, it has been very successful when riders have been charged with mudbogging in riparian areas, but has had limited success in the courts to deal with riders on grassland areas. It can be very challenging to prove that the particular rider on the grasslands is damaging the environment, particularly if others have been riding there previously. There has been no noticeable change in the motorized public’s behavior, despite a serious effort on the part of government staff, and local clubs to educate the riding public on responsible riding. There is no desire to continue closing areas to motorized use. Motorized recreation is a booming tourism opportunity for the province, and it is recognized that it is here to stay. The challenge is to educate the public on where they can ride safely, and with the least impact to the environment. Legislation is s badly required to identify bike and quads through a licencing and decal process . Currently the public or enforcement agencies are challenged to report and prosecute irresponsible riding without a better means to identify the vehicles. Public safety is still very much a concern. BC very much lags behind other provinces and the United States in drafting regulations, and the hard work that the ORV coalition completed and government endorsed appears to be stalled out at present. This is not only disappointing, but alarming, as sensitive ecosystems of grassland and alpine continue to be degraded. The GCC hopes that as you head out on for a ride or a walk you will stay on managed or established trails, roads and routes in sanctioned riding areas and that you obey and respect the signage on private and lease land. The plants and soils in these areas are sensitive and it is easy to do irreparable damage. It is very important to the future health of these areas that the restrictions and limitations placed on these lands be respected.

Home Improvement and Renovations Getting a new home for Christmas

Take the time to make your new home exactly what you want.

Building a world of new possibilities

Photo submitted

If you have been renting all these years, perhaps you should really look into buying a home this Christmas. The money you save over the long run will astaound you. Submitted How much is left over once you’ve paid the rent? If the answer to this question depresses you, perhaps it’s time to remedy the situation. Why not give yourself the most beautiful of gifts this Christmas and become a home owner. Perhaps you’ve been convinced for years that you just don’t have the means to go from renting to ownership. But have you bothered to consult some experts on home ownership? If not, don’t waste any more time and make an appointment with a financial advisor or a mortgage broker. These professionals

can help you assess your financial situation, draw up a statement of income and expenses, and check your credit rating. In short, they’ll help you establish whether you’re able to pay a mortgage. And you could be pleasantly surprised to find out that you do have the financial wherewithal to access the real estate market. Of course, your present financial situation may not allow you to purchase your dream home, the one with four bedrooms and bathrooms, a huge backyard with a pool, and a two-car garage. However, several very interesting options are

open to first-time buyers, including condos, semi-detached homes, and town houses. Other possible options that could meet your needs and your budget might be a house in the suburbs or even an older home in need of some updating. Be sure to stock up on snacks: your new status as a home owner is sure to make you the host of the season for friends and family!

Building your own house means having free reign to create a customized home that is adapted to your life style, your needs, and your personal tastes. It is also a long term project, whose results depend on thorough planning and a lot of organization skills. Because of this, building a new house is only recommended for buyers who already have experience in owning their own home. Why is that? Because home ownership is the best way to define your real needs. With all the energy, time, and money that you’ll put into this project it would be frustrating to

realize that you would have preferred an open plan concept after you’ve moved in. And don’t forget all the many options you’ll be faced with when the time comes to choose materials and styles of flooring, siding, windows and doors, handles, worktops, and moldings. Sometimes having too much choice makes things even more difficult, and it is easy to get lost in the sea of possibilities. Here are a few points to take into consideration before doing anything else. Be sure to think about budget, site, move-in date, possibility of living

in the home even if there is still work to be done, type of exterior architecture, interior layout, and specific needs. After this you can think about an architect, building contractor, and construction permits. If you’re not quite ready to embark on the great adventure of building your own customized home, why not opt for a modular home? All you have to do is choose the model you like and then work with the on-site team in making the necessary changes to the initial plan. Your dream home will be one step closer!

OBITUARY

Margaret Johanna Elisabeth Haase 1918-2013 It is with deep sorrow that the family of Margaret Haase announces her passing on Tuesday, October 8, 2013 in Cranbrook, BC at 94 years of age. Margaret was born on October 22, 1918 in Hattingen, Germany and grew up in a loving family in post WWI western Germany. After the war her father, who worked with a bank, went to South America to re-open business transactions. Unfortunately he contracted typhoid fever on the way there and died in Buenos Aires. Some years later her mother remarried, and she remained especially close to her mother throughout her life. As a young adult, Margaret then experienced the great depression and WWII. Margaret worked in a pharmacy, where after the war she met her future husband Gerhard, who had been a prisoner of war in Canada through much of the war. They decided to immigrate to Canada thanks to sponsorship by a kind Mennonite family. They settled in the Lethbridge area and raised their two children Monica & Gerald, working hard but also taking time to enjoy life. In 1966, the family moved to Jaffray, B.C. where they had bought a corner store/gas station, and operated it seven days a week for six years. In 1972, Margaret and Gerhard moved to the beautiful Mayook area where they enjoyed their little piece of paradise for almost 30 years. Gardening, fishing, gold-panning, travel, and visiting with family and friends provided a rich daily itinerary of activities. When Gerhard took ill with cancer, a move into Cranbrook was inevitable and Margaret lived several years in Cranbrook where she joined the Cranbrook Seniors and continued to visit with old friends from Mayook, Wardner and Jaffray, and with new friends in Cranbrook. A stroke in December 2002 left Margaret with her right side paralyzed and a loss of speech. Despite these handicaps, Margaret continued to get up each morning with a smile on her face to greet the new day and all that it might offer. During her stay at Steepleview Care Centre and Joseph Creek Care Centre, she was an inspiration to all that knew her. Her kind, loving ways were easily communicated as was her love of life and family. Margaret is survived by her sister Marianne Schulenberg, daughter Monica Bunton, son Gerald Haase (Shirley), granddaughters Melissa Villeneuve (Jason) and Rachel Haase, grandsons Sean Bunton (Camille), Arion Haase and Colin Woelk (De’Ann), great grandchildren: Kyla, Brendan, Kaitlyn and her cousin Kurt Sprungmann. She was predeceased by her husband Gerhard "Gus" Haase, brother Paul, mother Paula Zorn, father Engelbert Naendrup and step-father Leopold Zorn. A memorial service for Margaret will be held at McPherson Funeral Home in Cranbrook in the spring of 2014. She will be interred in the Sand Creek Cemetery in Jaffray, BC. Those wishing to make a memorial donation in honour of Margaret may do so to the: East Kootenay Regional Hospital c/o Palliative Care, 13 – 24th Avenue North, Cranbrook, British Columbia, V1C 3H9 or to: The War Amps Key Tag Service, 1 - Maybrook Drive, Scarborough, ON, M1V 5K9. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

October 2013 | Welcome to the driver’s seat East Kootenay

If it seems like I am gushing, I am. Zack Spencer

Subaru introduces a new, fourth-generation Forester for 2014.

SUBARU CANADA PHOTO

A new standard for SUVs: 2014 Subaru Forester

ON THE

road

WITH ZACK!

Beautiful BC showed off its best for the launch of the all-new Subaru Forester. Subaru chose a spectacular drive route from Nanaimo B.C. through the mountain passes of Vancouver Island to the stunning beaches of Ucluelet, Long Beach and Tofino. It was a smart move by the Subaru because they are the very roads buyers of the Forester picture themselves driving when they look at the glossy photos of this new go-anywhere, anytime crossover. And the 2014 Forester doesn’t just look the part, it is up to the task of climbing mountain roads, light off-roading and doing it all with comfort, practicality and now more standard features and refined drivetrain.

Looks ❱ A quick look might suggest much of

the previous model carries over to this year. Not true, this 2014 has less than five percent of the parts from the 2013 edition, yet the smallest changes can make a world of difference. For instance, the windshield moves forward allowing the front doors to be more than 12cm wider, thus allowing for more window space, a less intrusive side mirror and easier entry into the cabin. The rocker panels are integrated into the doorframes, keeping the dirt kicked up from the road on the door. When the door is open, the bottom of the opening remains clean. The rear doors are larger too and open to almost 90 degrees. New for 2014 is an available power lift gate (stating on the $31,295 Touring model), which can be operated from the key fob, the door handle of inside the cabin. The rear cargo area is rather square, which is optimal for loading larger items into the storage space and the load height is low.

DL#30786

Inside ❱ The Forester has always had a practi-

cal side, maybe too practical in the past to the point of being bland. While the 2014 model isn’t flashy, it is easier on the eye and is more user friendly. The dash has been moved forward and is covered in soft-touch materials. The seating position is 30mm higher, offering a more commanding view down the road. Since this new Forester is slightly wider, longer and taller it does afford a more spacious cabin; this along with the large doors and big windows makes it a good family choice. Standard features include heated seats on all models, Bluetooth, air conditioning and music streaming. On all but the base model, a backup camera is viewed through a high, centre mounted screen, which doubles as a multi-level information display. The radio is disappointing the readout is small and I found the settings rather confusing. Time with the unit will resolve many of the problems but a large touch-screen would have finished the cabin off nicely.

Drive ❱ The compact crossover segment is

growing dramatically and Subaru has balanced the wants of potential buyers nicely. For buyers who need light off-road or winter driving duties, all models come with the new X-Drive all-wheel drive setting for low speed traction. This system uses sensors and splits the torque to individual wheels allowing the Forester to perform well in very slippery conditions. For buyers who are looking for efficiency, the continually variable transmission (CVT) produces impressive fuel numbers when combined with the base 170hp 2.5L engine. Buyers who want a bit more power will be attracted to the all-new direct injection 2.0L turbocharged engine with 250hp and a slick new

If it seems like I am gushing, I am. I was very impressed with every aspect of this new product. The body is more rigid, sound insulation has improved, the handling is first rate and Subaru has invested in the small things that make this new Forester one of the best compact crossovers on the road today.

high-torque CVT. This transmission can mimic either 6 or 8 gears when the Sport or Sport Sharp settings are chosen. With this engine, a run to 100 km/h takes only 6.2 seconds. The virtual gear ratios hold when cornering, plus the up, and downshifts are very quick. To be honest this is the best application of a CVT to date and the average driver would never know it is a one gear, chain driven transmission.

Heavenly heels for practical and stylish shifting Okay, so I love driving but I also love my heels and sometimes the two don’t mix. Do I really need to toss them and pull on my New Balance 890 ‘driving’ shoes every time I get in or out of the vehicle? Actually no, because there are styles out there that are fashionable but don’t impair one’s driving ability. Let’s consider what defines a good driving heel. First, the heels have to fit properly. This may seem obvious but improperly fitting shoes are a hazard. If the shoes are Alexandra Straub too big, they can potentially slide off while engaging the clutch, accelerating or braking. If they’re even just a tad too small, they end up riding shotgun because they’re so uncomfortable. Heels can be rigid but a well-made pair of stilettos peep toes, closed toes, will work with the foot not against it. Just like vehicles, over time they get broken in and a lot more enjoyable to use. Driving in heels with inflexible ankle straps should be avoided: like bobble heads on dashboards, it’s just not right. Tightly fitted ankle straps may cut into the ankle and restrict

’’

the bending motion of the foot. Not only is it uncomfortable and can cinch your skin, it also puts unnecessary strain on the strap and can contribute to its quick demise. A thick or wide platform on the ball of the foot is another red flag. Yes, this function makes 6-inchers easier to walk in, sort of, but it can detract from the feel of the pedals and sometimes even push on pedals involuntarily. All that said, finding the ideal heels can be time consuming, challenging and expensive. As a self-professed shoe-aholic, I can help. My extensive heels collection, acquired over the years, speaks for itself. And having tested hundreds of vehicles over almost a decade, I know a thing or two about working the pedals. I figured wedge heels were my arch nemesis. That was before I discovered Wedge Espadrille Sandal from Browns Couture (available at Browns Shoes across Canada.) Unlike certain wedge heels, the sole is fairly narrow and flexible, enabling the foot to move easily between pedals. Yes, there is an ankle strap BUT they are elasticized and don’t restrict or cut into my foot when shifting. Whether I was testing them out in the 2011 Honda CR-Z with a 6-speed manual or the 2011 Mercedes-Benz E 350 Cabriolet with the 7-speed automatic transmission, they were a win-win. Plus, they’re super cute, perfect for spring and comfortable to walk in. Another win-win pair of heels comes from the MANAS Lea Foscati collection (available at Kalena Shoes, 1526 Commercial Drive.) These sexy Italian, nabuk leather, fuchsia peek-a-boo toe pumps feel like heaven behind the wheel and on the feet. What makes them celestial is the way the shoe envelops the foot in all the right places and its steadfastness to stay put while driving. The platform isn’t too wide or thick, giving me the feeling of control I desired when gearing up and down in the CR-Z or working the pedals in the E 350 Cabriolet. Note: these are great shoes to drive in, but keep in mind that the high-quality nabuk leather is quite delicate and more prone to wear and tear. The search for drive-worthy heels is an ongoing challenge; however it’s a task I’m willing to continually undertake. Now if only my closet were a bit bigger. shiftinggearsgirl@gmail.com twitter.com/cargirlsgarag

100 years of history: Aston Martin celbrates in its usual fashion

Several automobile manufacturers have celebrated significant anniversaries over the past year. Included in their numbers is Aston Martin, which celebrates its hundredth anniversary in 2013. Lionel Martin put the finishing touches on his first race car in 1913. This car, baptized the “Coal Scuttle”, won the Aston Hill race in England, inspiring Lionel Martin to launch the famous Aston Martin trademark. The company’s activities were quickly brought to a halt because of the First World War, and it was on the brink of bankruptcy several times until 1939, only surviving because of its race track successes. Aston Martin closed its doors yet again during the Second World War but

made a comeback in 1947 under the management of Sir David Brown. Sir Brown gave his initials to a series of models such as the DB1 (1948-1950), DB2 (1950-1953), DB2/4 (1953-1955), DB Mark III (1957-1959), and DB4 (1958-1963) — the latter was designed by the famous Italian designer, Zagato. Lastly, the mythic DB5 from 1963 helped to propel Aston Martin to legendary status, thanks to the James Bond movies. After this, Aston Martin would go on to produce the BB6, DBS, Lagonda, AM V8, Vantage, Virage, DB7, DB9, Vanquish, and Rapide. Aston Martin was owned by American investors in the 1970s and ended up in the fold of the Greek ship owner Peter Livanos in the

mid-1980s. From 1987 to 2007, Aston Martin was managed by Ford before being ceded to a consortium led by Prodrive and two Kuwaiti enterprises. In the past year, Aston Martin was sold to the Italian investment fund Investindustrial, which controls 37.5 percent of shares. Ford continues to supply engines to Aston Martin.

The eighth-generation Civic, with its radical wedge design and two-tier instrument panel, was another winner for Honda. Introduced as a 2006 model and built in Canada, it was the Canadian Car of the Year (2006) and has been a perennial top-seller, especially in Canada, but also in in the US. Sold in both four-door sedan and two-door coupe body styles, all Civics, other than the Si coupe and Hybrid editions, are powered by 1.8-litre, four-cylinder engine that can produce 140 horsepower. A five-speed manual transmission came standard with the 1.8L engine and a five-speed automatic was optional. The Hybrid has 1.3-litre engine assisted by electric motor and comes with a continuously variable (CVT) transmission. A 2.0-litre, 197-hp engine powers the Si and additional performance features of Civic Si include a sport-tuned suspension system, a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission, a limited-slip differential, four-wheel-disc brakes and sport seats. A sedan version of the Si was added in 2008. The entire Civic line-up got mid-life exterior changes and interior alterations for the 2009 model year. The fresh face of the '09 Civic included new-design bumper, grille, headlights, and the up-level models got new alloy wheel designs. Official fuel consumption ratings for Civic with the 1.8-litre engine are a frugal 7.4/5.4 L/100 km (city/highway) and 8.2/5.7 L/100 km (city/highway) with an automatic transmission. It runs on regular fuel and qualifies for ultra-lowemission vehicle status in the US. Civic Hybrid is rated at 4.7/4.3 L/100 km (city/highway) and Civic Si at 10.2/6.8 L/100 km (city/highway). The two-tier instrument panel is a clever idea that places important gauges (fuel/engine temperature and speed) above the steering wheel and a little farther away. This makes scanning back and forth from the road ahead easier on a driver’s eyes. The speedometer, a digital readout, can also switch from kilometres to miles at the press of a button, which is handy when travelling in the U.S. The Civic Coupe comes with standard side-impact airbags and other good safety features, but it didn't do as well as the Civic sedan in side impact tests performed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. An electronic stability control system is only standard on EX-L and Si versions. A shorter wheelbase gives the Civic Coupe more agile handling characteristics and a firmer suspension than the sedan. It also benefits from a tight, rigid chassis and a double-wishbone rear suspension, which is unusual for a car in this class. Driver vision is particularly good and the Civic’s extra large windshield has unique overlapping wipers with outboard pivots near the base to the A-pillars. They do a particularly good job of clearing water off almost all of the glass area, which is important when you live in the rain capital of Canada. The fun to drive Honda Civic offers excellent fuel economy and very good reliability. Although used prices tend to be higher that many same age competitors, it’s still an excellent vehicle choice.

Powered by wind: BMW gets greener be used as storage batteries when the car is put out to pasture, sorry, recycled. If one of the eight modules should fail then a replacement easily drops in rather than there be a need for an entire battery replacement. The lightweight body is also designed with a view to quick and economical repair in the event of a collision. Body parts again drop into place with the minimum of fuss and cost. They say the cost of a fix will likely mirror that of putting a BMW 1-series back on the road after a similar crash. Now we await the car, expected to sell for around $45,000, to see if it lives up to its green promise on the road. BMW boasts the electric motor will generate 170 horsepower and take off from zero to 100 km/h in 7.2 seconds, and can accelerate from 80-to-120-km/h in just 5.4 seconds – important when passing on the freeway.

BMW believes there is a big future for wind power in its cars. No, not for the propulsion of the prestige brand’s models but the making of their sleek machines of the future. Long before visitors arrive at the auto manufacturer’s new hi-tech factory in this economically deThe energy pressed region of what was once used is 50 percent communist East Germany, they of that required greeted with a wave from four giant wind turbines. Those metal to turn out a giants will power the production conventional car of the impressive four-seater BMW i3, which will roll silently Keith Morgan off the production line later this year. Silently, not just because it’s an all-electric vehicle but also because the entire manufacturing process rarely rises above a whisper. The BMW i3 is the first of the manufacturer’s projects for which the environmental sustainability objectives were determinedly set at the same high standards as the economic goals applied to the manufacturing process. To achieve those lofty dual goals, the BMW Group retains close control over the complete production process from the carbon fibre production, which starts in a hydroelectric powered plant in Moses Lake, Wa. Entire noisy and stinky processes associated with manufacturing in steel are gone. Robots screw and bond the important parts together and send the shells on their way, suspended form an overhead rail. Happy workers can actually hear each other chat down on the factory floor, bathed in sunlight and breathing freely courtesy of an efficient hi-tech ventilation system. Amazingly, the energy used is 50 percent of that required to turn out a conventional car and 70 percent less water is used. My group roamed around looking for waste, which turned out to be a waste (of time) in itself. The bits and bats and ‘wasted’ trim are gathered up and recycled for use elsewhere along the production line. BMW even boasts the lithium ion batteries that will power each car’s motor will outlive the individual car’s life. They can

Driverless: An update on Google's driverless car Science-fiction movies are filled with driverless cars that carry passengers from point A to point B without any human intervention. But if the work of the giant California-based company Google can be believed, reality could soon overtake fiction. Famous for its mega Web search engine and marketing strategies, Google has been working for several years on the development of a completely autonomous car. This vehicle would move around with the help of a computer-guided navigation system, a radar, a LIDAR system (a remote sensing technology that measures distance by illuminating a target with a laser and analyzing the reflected light), cameras, and various sensors. Google claims that this technology has been tested on Toyota vehicles in California, Nevada, and Florida over a distance of 500,000 km without any incidents. This new technology could be useful for long-distance drivers as well as for the visually impaired and those with reduced mobility. According to Google, this system would be reliable enough to be marketed for road use within the next five years. However, the hardest part is yet to come — getting official approval for this futuristic technology. Laws across the globe forbid any

For the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the organization handling vehicle safety in the United States, the biggest problem is to determine the responsibility of the driver in the event of an accident caused by mechanical or electronic defects.

Above and beyond car of the year competitions held at auto shows, such as those in Detroit and Geneva, there are many other coveted awards on the international scene. One of the most original of these is the Women’s World Car of the Year. To determine this year’s winning vehicles, a jury of women automotive writers from 12 countries based their evaluation on the following criteria: ease of handling, style, passive and active safety features, accessibility to the trunk and the mechanics, resale value, and capacity for transporting a small family. The overall winner of the Women’s Car of the Year for 2013 is the new Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost, sold in Europe. There were five other categories in the awards program. The Fiesta 1.0L was also the winner in the economy car category, with the Kia Forte and the Toyota Prius taking second and third places. In the family car category, the new Audi A4 Allroad took first prize, followed by the Volkswagen Golf VII and the BMW 3 series. The champion of the sports car category was the Porsche Boxster S, with the Audi RS 5 and Subaru BRZ/Scion FR-S coming in second and third, respectively. The Range Rover was proclaimed the winner of the Women’s Luxury Car of the Year, ahead of the Mercedes-Benz SL 550 and the BMW 6 series. Lastly, in the SUV category, the Mazda CX-5 left the Hyundai Santa Fe and the Nissan Pathfinder in the dust.

After the iPod, the iPhone, and the iPad comes the — the iCar? Rumours about Apple’s plans to get into the automotive market have been floating around for a long time. Unfortunately, the innovative leader of the company, Steve Jobs, never had the chance to realize this dream before his death in October 2011. There’s no doubt that Steve Jobs succeeded in turning Apple into the flagship of the digital industry. But in his mind, Apple’s conquest might have been even more grandiose. In addition to revolutionizing the television industry, Steve Jobs was nursing the idea of designing a car that would be in line with the philosophy of the famous Apple trademark. Despite the fact that Steve Jobs is no longer with us, Apple has not given up on this project. A recently obtained patent confirms Apple’s intentions of incorporating personal computers into cars. This innovation means the addition of a touch screen telematics system that will allow for the personalization of car controls so that the driver need never take his or her eyes off the road. The patent also includes eye-level displays as well as a camera system to keep track of the driver’s movements.

When I win the lottery . . . the 2014 Mercedes E Class Heavenly heels for practical and stylish shifting

‘‘

Intelligent Drive technologies stopping the car wandering into an oncoming lane if a driver’s attention drifts.

’’

Keith Morgan

BARCELONA, Spain: The big guys calling the shots at MercedesBenz in Stuttgart ordered a refresh of the E-Class and got an all-new car instead. Well, at least that seems to be the case with this mid-cycle refresh of a model that has found its way onto 30 million driveways in the past 60 years. An all-new from the ground-up restyle is likely due in 2016 but the revamp for 2014 is already substantial. Mercedes is big on choice so there are more than 70 varying versions available in the world market. Ah, but worry not because just ten will be available in the first production run

destined for Canada, this year. The 2014 E-Class platform, suspension and drivetrains get some minor adjustments and improvements. The most visible changes are external with every sheet of metal reworked. The result is it has smoother, simple lines with larger rear quarters that work well with the flow. But perhaps the most commentworthy change is up front. The distinctive four-headlight look is history after 17-plus years. Lighting the way forward now are two much larger light units, whose LED lights mimic the four-headlight effect. Now here is a curiosity; a choice of grille treatments! – Opt for the base Elegance equipment line and you get the three-louvre grille with the Merc star on the hood. Go for an Avantgarde version and the sporty front houses a bold version of the star in the grille. Is any Mercedes owner going to be seen with the Elegance grille? Indoors there are some style changes. There is a new leathertrimmed steering wheel with shift paddles, a restyled dashboard with wood or metal trim. The introduction of some new technologies is a big part of the story. We played with some of this neat stuff on a small airfield in the heart of Cava sparkling wine country around Penedes, where fittingly the Mercedes techies bubbled over about the effectiveness of their new safety systems. The so-called Intelligent Drive technologies perform such automatic acts as stopping the car wandering into an oncoming lane if a driver’s attention drifts. The car is slowed and brought to a halt when a pedestrian is detected stepping out onto the road from 50 metres away. I particularly liked the roadside sign detection system, which smartly advises when one is heading the wrong way down a one-way street! That will be Euro-spec only at the moment. Yours truly sampled the sedan and wagon versions powered by a variety of engines. Some of powerplants won’t surface in Canada until perhaps the 2015 model year. Meanwhile, the Canadian cars will feature existing model engines. Got what I expected with the V8 E500 tester, it provided lots of freeway conquering power, flipping between Comfort, Sport and Sport Plus modes. It was less fun on the Spanish switchbacks when sporty car moves were tried. The 2-litre E 250 wagon was surprisingly perky for a four banger. However, if you are going to load it and take it hither and yon in our backcountry you might want to consider a power plant with more umph. Europeans buyers can go for a stealth option when purchasing

an E63: all the badges are stripped from the car to make it look like a little old, innocent four-banger version. Then hear me

Drives-U-Crazy… Erratic drivers An early morning drive from Kelowna to Vancouver is normally a pleasurable experience. But a recent a jaunt was made much less so by an erratic driver, whose actions required all fellow travellers to watch his antics with great care and attention. The young guy at the wheel of a late model Honda CR-V constantly changed speed, below and beyond the posted speed limit. If he wasn’t passing and cutting in too early, he was inexplicably reducing his speed and dropping back in the passing lane. Thank goodness, he pulled off at Merritt. What drives-u-crazy. kmorgan@blackpress.ca

Pure value: The Dodge Journey is all about families greater. Also shared with the Avenger is a 173-horsepower 2.4-litre four-cylinder with four-speed automatic in base models. Optional is a 283-horsepower 3.6-litre V6 with a six-speed auto. There are five trim levels for 2013 (Canada Value Package, SE Plus, SXT, Crew and two R/T AWD trims), which means there’s likely a Journey for every taste, need and budget. Base Journey equipment includes air conditioning keyless remote entry, power windows, locks and mirrors and a complete range of safety gear. Up-level models offer leather seating surfaces, roof rack, backup camera, navigation system, 19-inch wheels and a flashlight stored in the cargo area. Most Journeys are now front-wheeldrive with all-wheel-drive now exclusively in the top-line R/T. The system automatically kicks in to direct power to the rear wheels when needed, including slippery mud and snow conditions as well as when the vehicle is accelerating up to 110 km-h.

Overall: Value is such an overworked term, but in the Journey’s case it certainly applies’ there’s space aplenty for up to seven passengers. Drivetrain: A somewhat antiquated 173-horsepower four-cylinder and significantly more impressive 283-horsepower V6 carry over; automatic transmissions all around and all-wheel-drive offered in V6 versions. The Dodge Avenger might not be near the top of the sedan leader board, but its tall wagon counterpart Journey scores a hole-in-one as a practical, efficient and affordable carrier. The Journey has just-right sizing going for it, which means its more compact than a Chevrolet Traverse or Ford Explorer, but larger than a Mitsubishi Outlander or Toyota RAV4. These rigs offer standard or optional third-row seating, but all are considerably

more expensive than the $20,500 (base price) Journey. In base trim, there’s seating for five people, although there’s an available two-place third-row 50/50 split bench. There are also some other clever interior storage options such as a front passenger seat with a flip-forward hinged cushion that’s ideal for concealing cameras, purses and other valuables. And all models feature two in-floor storage compartments with removable plastic liners behind the front seats that are large enough to hold a dozen beverage cans each, plus ice. And don’t forget the chilled storage bin inside the glove compartment that can keep a couple of cool beverages at the ready. Although influenced by the Dodge Avenger sedan, this roomier derivation has about four more inches between the front and rear wheels and 20-centimetre height advantage, but with an overall length that’s just a touch

Driveway editor Keith Morgan is currently in Amsterdam attending the international launch of this Keith Morgan exciting new family car. He will reveal what it is like to drive and introduce you to the best in auto coverage from the Driveway team of writers. This talented crew includes nationally respected Driving Television host and syndicated radio broadcaster Zack Spencer and a woman auto journalist much loved in these parts, Alexandra Straub. They will be joined shortly by truck fanatic Ian Harwood.

Base price (incl. destination): $21,500 Type: Four-door tall wagon Base Engine (hp): 2.4-litre DOHC four-cylinder (173) Optional engine (hp): 3.6-litre DOHC V6 (283) Layout: Front-engine, front- / all-wheel-drive Transmission: Four-speed automatic; six-speed automatic (3.6) l/100 km (city/highway): 10.8/7.5 (2.4) Safety: Front airbags; sideimpact airbags; side-curtain airbags; anti-lock brakes; traction control; stability control.

Hello:

Yours Truly, BIG T (aka Terry)

Overall: The honeymoon is long over with, which means our continued affection for Kia’s midsize sedan must in fact be true love. Drivetrain: All engines have four cylinders in regular, turbocharged and hybrid flavour; manual transmissions available at every rung in the trim level. If you’ve been wondering who lit the fire under Kia’s rear bumper, the most likely person is designer Peter Schreyer who joined the company after a long stint with Audi. That’s right, Kia has a hotshot German designer and one of his best creations to date is the Optima. The Optima shares the related Hyundai Sonata’s range of powerful four-cylinder engines: the entry-level is a 2.4-litre unit that produces a very healthy 200 horsepower, while an optional 274-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine quenches your thirst for thrust. There’s also a hybrid-electric version of the 2.4, but with only 169 horses (206 total with the electric motor). As you might expect, the hybrid is the most fuel efficient (5.6 l/100 km city and 4.9 highway) but even the base engine produces a respectable 8.7 l/100 km in the city and 5.7 on the highway. Most interesting is that the hybrid system uses unique lithium-polymer batteries that are lightweight and can actually be formed into shapes. The hybrid can travel at speeds of up to 60 mph (96 km-h) without the gas engine assisting. Kia’s reputation is built on value, and the Optima is no different. Very well equipped for the class with standard air conditioning, power everything, a cooled glovebox, tilt and telescoping steering see Optima page 12 wheel and keyless entry. Once

Optima from page 11

you move up to mid-range EX or top-range turbo-only SX models, features such as front and rear heated seats, leather upholstery, back-up camera, a premium Infinity sound system and a navigation system are available as options. For buyers with a sporting intent, the SX comes with 18-inch wheels, bigger front brakes, sportier suspension, bright high-intensity-discharge (HID) headlights, LED taillights, a rear spoiler, side sills and unique bumper design. Throw in a five-year warranty and customers should be beating a path to their local Kia dealer.

Built for work: The Toyota Tundra hauls heavy loads Tundras continue to be available in your choice of Regular-cab, extended-length Double Cab and four-door CrewMax with its extra-sized rear doors. Four-wheel-drive is optional, but only if you specify a V8. The no-frills-no-carpet-job-site-only Work Truck Package features a vinyl-covered bench seat, old-school rubber floor mats and a simplified instrument panel. The exterior displays an all-black bumper and grille as well as nonpower mirrors. At the opposite end of the spectrum there are numerous dress-up packages that can turn your Tundra into the most full-blown loaded-up rig that’s tailored for the job site. The new Platinum trim level (previously an option package) adds heated and ventilated seats, leather-trimmed surfaces, a navigation system, power moonroof and more. Just how strong is a Tundra? Enough to tow 133,000 kilograms of space shuttle down a stretch of L.A. freeway. If you haven’t already heard about it, check it on Youtube.

Kia Optima Base price (incl. destination): $23,450; $32,000 (Hybrid) Type: Four-door sedan Base Engine (hp): 2.4-litre DOHC I4 (200) Optional engines (hp): 2.0-litre DOHC I4, turbocharged (274); 2.4-litre DOHC I4 with electric assist (206, hybrid) Layout: Front-engine, frontwheel-drive Transmission: Six-speed manual, six-speed automatic l/100 km (city/highway): 8.7/5.7 (2.4, MT) Safety: Front airbags; sideimpact airbags; side-curtain airbags; anti-lock brakes; brake assist; hill assist control; traction control; stability control

Overall: Toyota makes a run at luxurious Ford and GMC rivals with new Platinum package; only five combinations of cab, bed and drive after axing base V8. Drivetrain: Sole choice in most is the hot-rod 381 horsepower 5.7-litre V8 found in even the most basic work truck; old 4.6-litre V8 only comes in base Double Cab models; six-speed automatic transmission with rear- or four-wheel drive. Despite finding only a fraction of new homes compared with the domestic automakers, the Tundra remains a strong contender. That’s helped immensely in 2013 by losing the lower-power base engines and consolidating nearly every Tundra around the top-tuned 381-horsepower 5.7 V8. Only base Double Cab models come with the old 310-horsepower 4.6-litre V8. All models operate using six-speed automatic transmissions, with either rear- or four-wheel drive. Inside, the roomy cabins feature plenty of stowage-space with a computer-laptop-swallowing console plus a two-level glove box. For safety’s sake there are segment-first driver and front passenger knee airbags.
