His young family ready to flee at a moment’s notice, Mark Kildaw spent a sleepless night Tuesday watching the flames from a wildfire roaring down the hillside in his direction. “It was like a light show, the trees were going up there would be a lot of smoke and poof it would ignite and there would be a big fire for about three to five minutes, like a torch and then it would jump to the next tree and you could just see it moving across and down the mountain,” said Kildaw. Wednesday, flames could still be seen behind his neighbour’s large wooden barn across the road. “We have two little boys (ages one and three) and earlier we packed as much as we could into our truck, our car and our tent trailer and were ready to go at about one o’clock (a.m.). I came out to talk to the neighbours about two. I eventually went to sleep in the chair and my wife (Carla) got up. When I woke up at 5:30 a.m. the neighbour’s house was in jeopardy, there were flames all around it but they saved it.” Things improved enough that Kildaw decided to go to work in Penticton however he soon got a call from Carla telling him to come quickly because conditions had worsened. During the day Wednesday they spent time helping a neighbour water down his structures and keeping the sprinklers running on their own roof. “I think today the way things are going my wife is going to take the boys to her parents in town and I’m just going to hang out here, it’s a scary situation and we don’t need to risk that,” said Kildaw. According to Jim Mottishaw, incident commander and fire zone protection manager for the

Wildfire Branch there were a number of close calls that night . “Last night you saw how close it got to some of these houses, it was just metres away from the one home but we had crews there with the landowner so we’re quite sure we’re going to slow its progress so it doesn’t impact them,” he said. “Right now we’re only tending to the interface. “The priorities are around the homes so that fire will grow upslope, we have no manpower.” As of Thursday, evacuation alerts remained for 13 properties in the area. The fire was 50 per cent contained, but Mottishaw said it could be at least a week before it is fully under control. Since the Apex fire started, two more wildfires have been reported in the region, the Boot Hill fire in the Nickle Plate area (near Apex Mountain Resort) had expanded to 136 hectares with no containment. There were no evacuation alerts in place. The Jura fire between Summerland and Princeton grew to about 200 hectares and the evacuation alert for 606 properties was expected to remain in place for much of Thursday. Well over 100 wildfires are currently active in B.C. costing millions of dollars a day. The Apex fire, thought to have started Tuesday afternoon, like many of the others, is believed to be human caused. “It started right off the roadside and it’s another of those unfortunate starts,” said Mottishaw. “What we’re trying to get across is that things are so super dry, be practical what you’re doing and where you’re doing it.” There could be some relief in site with Environment Canada calling for a chance of rain as early as Saturday and more in the coming week.

Land swap may settle trail dispute Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Nearly three years after part of the KVR Trail through Kaleden was blocked off by its new owners, the B.C. government has offered up a section of Skaha Lake waterfront in return for a permanent detour. “This solution seems to resolve a problem that appeared at some point (to be) almost unresolvable,” said Tom Siddon, who represents the area on the board of the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen. The swap would see a 250-metre Ushaped diversion around the KVR Trail given over to the B.C. government in exchange for a narrow, 150-metre sliver of waterfront property at the end of Alder Avenue, according to information provided to the regional district. The RDOS board, which was asked to comment on the proposal, voted unanimously Thursday to endorse it. “I support this resolution, notwithstanding the opinions of some people, because it will give us a permanent connection between Alder Street and the KVR Trail north of Kaleden, and that’s the overriding consideration here,” Siddon said. The deal has been in the works for approximately three years, according to Greig Beithel, a spokesman for the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. Beithel said via email that the land exchange was initiated by the private landowner, whom he couldn’t name since “the process is ongoing,” but did allow that the deal is related to the closure of the KVR Trail where it crosses land owned by Debi McGinn and Andrew Brice. Neither owner could been reached for comment. Beithel said the RDOS board’s decision

to support the land swap “will be taken into consideration by the ministry, but it will not necessarily determine the outcome of the application.” He also noted there is no deadline in place to finalize the agreement. McGinn and her husband purchased the land in question from CP Rail in 2010 and a year later blocked public access to their portion of the KVR Trail in a bid to apply pressure to the B.C. government to enter into the swap.

In March 2012, they restored access via the U-shaped detour involved in the deal, although that was also closed off briefly in August 2013. Siddon added that there is also “apparently a remedy included in this agreement” to provide permanent access to a proposed waterfront development to the north at Sickle Point, likely over the newly acquired Crown land. “The province is just trying to get this rather nasty issue put to bed,” said Siddon.

Local real estate market on the upswing Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Property sales in the Penticton area were up by nearly half through the first six months of the year, an increase one local realtor attributes to an influx of out-of-town buyers. Sales of properties totalled $145.8 million through the first half of 2014, up from $99 million during the same period a year earlier, according to statistics compiled by the South Okanagan Real Estate Board. Single-family dwellings accounted for most of the sales, with 193 homes worth $75.7 million changing hands so far this year, versus 161 units valued at $55 million in the first six months of 2013. “We’re seeing a lot of money coming in from Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver and Saskatchewan,” said realtor Steve Thompson. He believes the visiting purchasers’ wealth is largely derived from the energy sector, but that they’re also enjoying good returns on real estate investments at home.

“The Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and Saskatchewan markets are all very, very strong right now, so we’re benefiting from their strength, where they’re seeing some significant capital appreciation, which is turning into a benefit for us,” he explained. Also working in this region’s favour, the realtor continued, are things like the planned commencement of WestJet Encore’s direct flights between Penticton and Calgary in October, construction of the new jail north of Oliver, and cyclical market forces that are all improving investor confidence. “I think there’s a great opportunity now for people to get into the market, because the values are still very attractive and we still have record-low interest rates,” Thompson said. Real estate sales are up all over in the South Okanagan. In Oliver, 103 properties worth $27.9 million changed hands through the first half of the year, up from 73 sales worth $18.9 million for the same period in 2013. And in Summerland, a total of 154 properties sold for $53.8 million, versus 82 sales totalling $28.6 million a year earlier. Construction has also picked up, although not to the same extent.

Penticton and area will be receiving more than $423,000 from the Strategic Community Investment Fund. It is part of the nearly $74 million being invested into communities across B.C. to meet local needs including more policing, new equipment, increased community safety initiatives, infrastructure and service delivery priorities. The City of Penticton will receive more than $314,000 in traffic fine revenues. The Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen will receive a Small Community Grant worth more than $109,000. “Most of that has been allocated,” said Mayor Garry Litke. A variety of projects are benefitting, he said, but there is extra, since the city is receiving a little more than projected, which Litke calls a “fortuitous development.” Since the city went through its budgeting process for 2014, Litke explained, a number of unexpected expenses have arisen, like replacing the tiles in the community pool with less slippery ones. “From community safety to public services, municipalities are free to allocate these funds to the priority projects that matter to them,” said Penticton MLA Dan Ashton in press release. “Residents of Penticton will benefit from safer streets, more efficient services, and an improved quality of life thanks to these grants.” Penticton will also be receiving $8,821 from BikeBC, in the form of two grants, which will help improve the city’s cycling network. A $4,658 grant will go toward the Power Street bike lanes, running from Westminster Avenue West to Lakeshore Drive along Power Street. The total project cost is $9,315. Another $4,163 grant is aimed at bike lanes on the other end of town, on Skaha Lake Road from the Channel Parkway to Yorkton Avenue. The cost for that project is $8,327. Both projects are part of the city’s Trails and Cycling Network, which will eventually see Penticton criss-crossed by a network of cycling lanes. “Bike lanes provide one more option for commuters looking to get out of their cars, as well as those looking to boost their physical activity,” says Penticton MLA Dan Ashton. “Cycling is good for the environment and good for healthy living.” Litke said it’s difficult to say when the cycling network will be completed, but it will be a longterm project to complete. “Every year we make a little progress,” he said. Altogether, BikeBC is investing $1.18 million across the province, which, with cost-sharing, will create more than $2.36 million in cycling infrastructure, including multi-use separated pathways, bike lanes, bike paths and road-shoulder bikeways.

SOLUTIONS TO SWIMMER’S EAR I love all things summer. The sun, the long daylight hours and cooling off in the lake to name a few. As enjoyable as it is to spend time in the water, swimming can contribute to the development of swimmer’s ear, also called otitis externa. Otitis externa is an infection of the outer ear. It most commonly affects people in warm humid climates and people who swim. But swimming is not the only way to develop the infection. You can also be infected if hairspray or other liquids get into the ear as this creates a warm, moist environment for bacteria to grow in. Using cotton swabs in the ear can also contribute to the development of otitis externa as the earwax and debris is pushed into the ear canal which can trap bacteria and moisture in the ear. The main symptoms of otitis externa are severe pain, itching, redness in the ear and tenderness in the earlobes.

#114 - 300 RIVERSIDE DRIVE 250-493-5533

Sometimes pus and debris drains out of the ear. For mild infection you can try using a homemade acidifying ear drop by diluting white vinegar with equal parts water. Polysporin Ear Drops are available over-the-counter for more severe infections. It contains antibiotics and an anesthetic so it will treat the infection and ease the pain. Both of these treatments need to be put into the ear 4 times daily. Symptoms generally start to improve around day 3 and the infection is usually resolved within 10 days. Continue to use the drops for 3 days after the infection appears to be gone. To prevent further outer ear infections use a hair dryer on its lowest setting to thoroughly dry the ears after showering and swimming and never put cotton swabs in the ear.

pet campaign, offering businesses and community the opportunity to purchase three different welcome packages, consisting of items like a red welcome mat, pennants and t-shirts. The items — branded car flags, bumper stickers and more — can also be purchased individually. Kelly Hopkins, marketing manager for Challenge Penticton, said the inspiration for the campaign came from Challenge Roth, the first race for what would become the Challenge Family, and one of the largest triathlons in the world. “It’s (Roth, Germany) a small town that just completely explodes with Challenge the week prior,” said Hopkins. “And they just really open their doors to everybody that comes into their town.” The Red Carpet campaign, she explained, is to help build positive experiences for the athletes and other visitors. “I want people to embrace the folks that come here and spend their time and money in our community,” said Hopkins.

Challenge PentiCton has launched a line of products, including the welcome mat pictured above, designed to enable to the community to welcome Challenge athletes with a sea of red.

“We want them to feel that they are important to our community and we appreciate them being here. We want this event to grow.” Hopkins said they hope to get the entire South Okanagan region involved, and they are rolling it out in communities all along the racecourse, including, Okanagan Falls, Oliver, Osoyoos, Cawston, Keremeos and Penticton. “My focus has always been to bring the soul back to triathlon, to bring the community

together, to own this again,” said Hopkins. “We had very limited resources, so we had to be really creative in the way that we are out there marketing.” That includes, she said, focusing on Challenge Penticton’s social media presence as well as working at a grassroots level, approaching triathlon groups and clubs from Saskatchewan to California. “We engaged our pro athletes to go out and speak directly to those folks and talk about their

Challenge experience they had here last year. That brought in a lot of registrations,” said Hopkins. With the Aug. 3 registration deadline rapidly approaching, Hopkins said there has been a flurry of people signing up. “We are easily going to exceed our numbers from last year,” said Hopkins. “We have well over 1,000.” Challenge volunteers will be approaching local businesses to preorder packages. The deadline for ordering is July 27 and the packages will be delivered the week of Aug. 15 in time to prepare for race week. Challenge is also seeking volunteers to help promote the Red Carpet campaign throughout the region.

The recent heat wave has had most of us basking in the sun and enjoying the great outdoors. But while we are soaking up summer, there is a responsibility that comes with living in an arid climate. As of Wednesday, a campfire ban is in effect for all Crown land, including the backcountry and provincial parks, as well as in virtually all municipalities and electoral areas. “We have been experiencing hot and dry conditions and an increased fire danger rating,” said Melissa Welsh, a fire information officer with the Kamloops Fire Centre. “Areas of extreme (risk) are growing fast.” Campfires are banned because if they get out of control and threaten homes and lives, they direct limited resources away from fires no one can do anything about — those caused by lightning. “We need to cut down on the human-caused fires,” said Welsh. Obviously campfires are a summer tradition, whether you are sitting down along the lake or in your favourite provincial park. Who doesn’t love roasting marshmallows and telling stories as the flames crackle? But another tradition the Okanagan is becoming known for is wildfire — whether it’s Fintry, Terrace Mountain, Kelowna, Cedar Hills or the current fire on Apex Mountain. Authorities did not easily make the decision to ban campfires but they understand that cerWESTERN tainPENTICTON measures are required to ensure that this Okanagan summer doesn’t become an emergency. “It’s an issue of public safety and that’s our first priority,” said Welsh.

The origins of war provide hope The 59 skeletons were found in 1964, lying together in a grave site beside the Nile near what is now the Egyptian-Sudanese border. They died between 13,000 and 14,000 years ago, and some of them seemed to have died in battle. That was big news half a century ago, when most people still believed that organized killing was an invention of civilization. Now they are back in the news, billed as evidence of the world’s oldest known battle. Scientists at Bordeaux University recently re-examined them, and discovered dozens of previously undetected arrow impact marks on the bones. Most of the victims had died in a hail of arrows, killed by an organized force of enemy archers, and the deaths had occurred over a period of months or even years. So there had been a prolonged low-level war long before the rise of civilization or even of agriculture. The war was almost certainly about resources, for it was a time of rapid climate change

and food resources were under great pressure. The two groups were hunters who had efficient weapons, so technically they could fight a war. But the weapons were not new, and neither were resource crises. So why didn’t this happen far earlier? The skeletons of Jebel Sahaba are not just telling us that we are capable of killing our own kind. Everybody knows that, and it’s a skill that we share with our near relatives, the chimpanzees, and a number of other species. Nor do we need them to tell us that we are capable of highly organized mass killing. All of our recorded history is filled with war. What the graves of Jebel Sahaba are really telling us is that civilization was not the problem – and perhaps also that we are not doomed to perpetual war. Raymond Kelly is an anthropologist who studies warfare among pre-civilised groups, and in his book “Peaceful Societies and the Origins of War” he offers us

the outcome of any attack more uncertain. In this second period, starting around 400,000 years ago, Kelly argues that intergroup violence fell sharply.

War becomes institutionalized in human societies, and grows as they do. Welcome to the present, you might say. We all still keep armies, and they are constantly preparing for wars that may no longer even involve land. But have you noticed that no great power has fought any other for the past 69 years? That is quite new in our history. The second transformation, the one that led to about 400,000 years of relative peace, occurred because attacking your neighbours had become too dangerous: the weapons had got too lethal. It is possible that we are in the midst of a comparable transformation now, although it must be admitted that there is still rather a lot of the old behaviour around.

Does Canada need stronger gun laws?

Ask the American National Rifle Association what they think as Canada is prone to agree with the Americans. The NRA might suggest Canadians need more guns in order to protect themselves and loved ones in the future from the powers to be. The only thing that can be done in my opinion is for the 77 per cent in favour is to continue with wishful thinking as mankind needs his bang - bangs as a baby needs a rattle. Meanwhile do as Johnny Cash sang, “Don’t take your guns to town.”

Graffiti solution

My wife and I own a condominium in Clearwater, Florida, and noticed how little graffiti there is in the whole Clearwater area. Upon inquiring as to the reason for this, we were informed that there is zero tolerance for any defacing of public property. Anyone caught doing such an act receives an automatic jail sentence, even minors, plus they are made restore the damaged property. Perhaps if this were the case in Penticton and area, it may help to solve the problem. Gordon R. Taylor Penticton

Trying to plan for September

Dear Mr. Fassbender and Mr. Iker: I am a very concerned parent. My oldest son is entering Grade 12 in Septem-

ber and I understand you have decided to delay negotiations until late September and not to legislate teachers back to work. Your bickering and inability to sort out these contract issues may just be a “job” for you but for thousands of students and in particular, Grade 12 students, we are talking about their lives and ability to pursue post-secondary education. This can impact the rest of their lives. With the prospect of no school in September, my son will lose 24.5 hours of instruction time per semestered course. This will have devastating implications for him in terms of completing the courses he requires in order to apply to university. And it is the first semester grades that get sent to the universities when applying. How do you intend to ensure my son gets the full course content when one-quarter of the instruction time for first semester will be lost? We pay our taxes and he is entitled to his education. The loss of these hours is completely unacceptable. I need to be able to plan for my children’s future and education so would like to know what your plan is to make up any lost instruction time. If I have to move to another province to ensure their education I need to know in a timely fashion so that I can make arrangements. I am beyond caring who wins this fight. I want it over and I want school to resume Sept. 2, 2014. Susan Koster Penticton

A Fond Farewell

After 20 years of working with students,

www.pentictonwesternnews.com

particularly those with special needs, in a variety of grades, subjects and schools, it is time to say goodbye. I would like to thank the students, and their parents, for the opportunity of interaction and learning that each of my charges offered me during my work as an education assistant. To the school board members, administrators, clerical and custodial staff that I have had the pleasure to know over these years, I also offer a sincere thank you for their assistance, guidance and friendship. But, especially, I wish to convey my deep gratitude to the teachers and my fellow CEA’s who have been my mentors, instructors, colleagues and friends, and who have made this a vocation rather than a job. It is with some reluctance – and no little amount of trepidation – that I leave this career. Unfortunately, as the physical and emotional aspect of the work increases and funding

is replaced with the rewording of student designations, I have had to make the choice to retire based on health rather than heart. Like everything else in our modern, dollar driven world, schools are only a place of profit and loss; real estate and commodity. I have noted our students referred to as “pawns” in the recent dispute. Well, I have played the game of chess and know that the role of the pawn is to defend the king and queen at all cost; to be willing to be sacrificed to keep these two positions safe. I would suggest, given the description that it is the teachers and educational assistants who fit the role of pawn, the children are the kings and queens, and it is the government and our society who are directing the game. A few years ago, as part of classroom protocol, we were to read a pamphlet on procedure in case of school intruder lockdown scenario

letters

— think Columbine. One of the directives was that teachers, and support staff, should

protect students by all means including bodily shielding them from harm. After 20 years,

this pawn is exiting the board.

Western News Staff

After some deliberation, the judges, Cathy Pires, manager of the London Drugs photo lab and Western News photojournalist Mark Brett, selected the top four photographs submitted in the Peach City Beach Cruise photo contest. Taking first place, in the contest sponsored by London Drugs and the Western News, is Claude Robidoux for his photo of a vintage blue truck. “This is awesome,” said Robidoux. “I’m really excited.” Robidoux, who has been taking photographs for 23 years, was keen on the car show. “I really enjoy architecture and old cars,” he said. Brett, said picking the winner was an easy decision. “This photo jumped out, a combination of the lighting and the composition caught my eye,” he said. “There is a sense of movement, looking at the trees and the clouds gives it that sense of movement.” “An added bonus,” Brett continued, “was the reflection of the photographer in the chrome around the headlight.” Brett also commended the photo for the technical difficulty in taking a photograph with the sun directly in the background. Second place went to John Poon for his twist on a black and white photo. Third place went to Kelly Dickinson for his up close photo of a unique car antenna fixture. Third place finisher Kelly Dickinson returned to photography after many years away from the hobby. As a carpenter, Dickinson said it was the craftsmanship of the antenna detail that caught his eye, but also said the lighting was what initially drew him to the feature. “I really liked the colour, the way the sun was shining on the paint, and reflecting off the metal,” he said. Gary Servant took fourth place for his photo taken during a cloud burst. When asked for advice for amateur photographers, based on the entries, Brett suggested taking photos from different angles, as opposed to always taking photos straight ahead from the subject and always at shoulder height. London Drugs and the Western News are teaming up for another photo contest, this time featuring photos from the upcoming PeachFest, August 6-10. Details available soon in the Western News.

The Peach ciTy Beach cruise photo contest, co-sponsored by London Drugs and the Penticton Western News proved popular. here are the top four entries, from top left: first place, claude Robidoux; second place, John Poon; third place, Kelly Dickinson; fourth place Gary Servant.

More CCMA nods for Cressman Kristi Patton

Western News Staff

Jim Cressman is becoming an entertainment mogul in Canada, netting a number of Canadian Country Music Association nominations this week. The Penticton businessman, owner of the B.C.-based company Invictus Entertainment Group, had another great year earning CCMA nominations for the Ron Sakamoto Talent Buyer or Promoter of the Year, Booking Agency of the Year and Management Company of the Year. Cressman won the Talent Buyer or Promoter of the Year award in 2013. “It’s a very exciting day for sure,” said Cressman of the nominations announced on Wednesday. “We are pretty fortunate that our peers view us as favourable as they do and that we have a great team of staff and great artist roster. Without those two things you are not going to experience much success in the business.” Invictus Entertainment Group has set itself apart in the industry with a reputation for the dedication to the development of talent in the Canadian music business as well as handling entertainment procurement services, event programming, promoting, talent buying and artist representation. Cressman is gracious for everyone who believes in what they are doing.

PenTiCTon BusinessMAn and president of invictus entertainment group, Jim Cressman is nominated for several CCMA’s.

“There is teams of dozens of people behind each nominee, whether it is an industry person or an artist to help perpetuate their success. It is easy to lose sight of that in a moment, but if you actually had everyone get up on stage with the award winner that is responsible for their success, that goes for myself, there wouldn’t be enough room,” he said. Invictus has had a strong year with a film Cressman executive produced, Coming Home For Christmas, was featured on CMT, arranging big name tours to come through Penticton and around B.C. and last year’s CCMA win. In the coming weeks Cressman said he will be announcing a jointventure with “a very prolific partner” in artist/music publishing that

he is excited about. In June Invictus hired multiple award-winning artist manager as the vice-president of their label Big Star Recordings. As part of the deal, rising stars Brett Kissel and Cory Marquardt will be managed in house. They join the current management roster of George Canyon, Charlie Major, Jordan McIntosh, One More Girl, Aaron Pritchett and others. The list of CCMA artist nominations has many familiar names for Invictus. The artists nominations will also be familiar to concert-goers in Penticton. Kissel, Paul Brandt, Small Town Pistols, Dean Brody, Dallas Smith, Tim Hicks, Carly McKillip along with others are musicians that have performed at the South Okanagan Events Centre, Penticton Trade and Convention Centre, Barking Parrot or at the Penticton Peach Festival in recent years. Cressman said the eight award nominations Kissel received are not a surprise. “I predicted last year he would be the most nominated artist based on the heat would generate. It has been a breakout year and it is going to continue to be. He probably is positioning himself to be the next big star in Canada,” said Cressman. The CCMA awards will be cohosted by Jann Arden and Rick Mercer on Sept. 7 in Edmonton.

It was her Special day. I didn’t want to miss a word! It was my daughter’s big day. Aware that I was experiencing some hearing loss, I was anxious about communicating in a noisy environment. Most importantly, I didn’t want to miss a word of her precious wedding vows. With just a week before the wedding, I scheduled a hearing test at the Penticton clinic. Audiologist Stephanie Sykes conducted a very thorough series of tests and after explaining my results,she recommended the Alta Pros™ by Oticon for my specific lifestyle needs. The exhilaration I experienced with my regained sense of hearing was only surpassed by the joy of giving my daughter away to the man of her dreams! Thank you for your professional care!

Ulrich and daughter formed a unique bond over music Kristi Patton Western News

In utero concerts gave Shari Ulrich’s daughter a jump start on her career. “She grew up with music from when she was in the womb. I was recording a UHF album when I was nine months pregnant. She had about two months with a mandolin against her head,” said Ulrich, who is performing at the Dream Café on July 19 with daughter Julia Graff and Ted Littlemore. Now instead of her mom calling the shots on what she listens to, Julia Graff is the one bossing her around as the engineer and producer of Ulrich’s new album Everywhere I Go. “It is a fantastic and unique relationship we have. All I have to do is take a step back to see what a fantastic thing it has been to share music with her in this way and with her producing the album it has a whole other dimension,” said Ulrich. “She is just so good, confident and competent that it was very easy to surrender to her in that way. I haven’t done that with any producer in a very long time because I have been working on my own.” Graff was no pushover either. Tight deadlines in order for Graff to finish her masters degree in music in sound recording at McGill meant Ulrich had to write songs for the CD in just a month. “That scared the hell out of me because I am not a very prolific writer,” admits Ulrich. Having just seen an Elizabeth Gilbert TedTalk on creativity, Ulrich was inspired.

“The essence of her message was if you show up, it will come. Basically that is what I did. I got up every day and instead of going to my email I picked up an instrument and hung onto it for dear life until something came out.” Ironically, the first song Ulrich worked on for about two weeks ultimately was thrown out. Knowing the importance of the deadline and what it meant for her daughter, Ulrich buckled down and lyrics and music began pouring out. Bits of songs and lyrics Ulrich had been collecting on tape recorders for the last decade was culled to be expanded upon and cleaned up. The result is an album roaming around the top five in the Galaxie charts and lots of positive response. “I think we have produced something that is quite special and seems to resonate with people,” said Ulrich. “That tends to be because I do write about life. People hear themselves in those songs and that is why we are drawn to music because it triggers emotional reaction.” It also does in the writer. Ulrich has heartfelt songs such as This Life and Making Friends With Gone that came to her with ease. “It really did just spill out in a matter of minutes. That is why I am always in awe of the creative process. It was the first time I experienced that but you hear about it from other writers that do that all the time and I just grind my teeth and say how nice for you,” joked Ulrich.

of Fame star said it is a matter of getting in touch with what really moves you and generally that will move others. “That is the thing I’m always searching for and you never really have faith if you are going to find it but then you get in this zone and those things happen. Often I weep when it affects me. That is a way I know whoever eventu-

ally hears it for the first time will probably have the same reaction and that I have something,” said Ulrich. Graff is joining Ulrich on stage as an accompanist on violin, mandolin, guitar, accordion and vocals. Littlemore will be on piano, accordion and vocals. Tickets for the July 19 show at the Dream Café are $22.

LIVE WELL HEALTH TIP:

MIGRAINES Minimizing Migraine Pain Do you suffer from migraine headaches? Migraine headaches have been linked to a number of triggers such as hormonal alterations, stress, certain foods, and even weather. The physical effects can range from the obvious head pain, to blurred vision, impaired motor functions, numbness, and nausea. Try these simple, natural solutions to help reduce the frequency and duration of painful and often debilitating migraine headaches: Nutrition An elimination diet can often be helpful in managing migraines. Try limiting the consumption of chocolate, caffeinated beverages, wheat, meat, and dairy. Increasing hydration, and whole food ingredients can be beneficial.

Live well. Live organic.

Natural Remedies Anti-inflammatory herbs such as feverfew and butterbur have been proven to reduce the severity and frequency of migraines. Supplementing daily with riboflavin, magnesium bisglycinate, CoQ10, omega-3 fish oils, and ginkgo biloba can also help to reduce migraines.

tance Society and Penticton Art Gallery. “We had wanted to do a wearable art thing for awhile and do something that isn’t as much traditional fashion. We liked the idea of not just using clothes off the rack but building things and making it a bit different. As well the community aspect of helping out these groups,” said La Party Fantastique stylist Marissa Fox. The show will be held at the Centre for Excellence at Okanagan College on July 26, which Fox has plans to use its unique space to its fullest. “It is such a good space as it is. The demo lab is really raw with all the plywood and big sliding garage door. We really liked how it looks and don’t want to strip away anything from that. It will be eclectic and fits with what the models will be wearing,” said Fox. The event runs from 8 p.m. to midnight and, besides the fashion show itself, it will feature a DJ and music from a local band consisting of Tavis Weir, Lucas Penner and a few others. Food trucks will also be at the event to feed the crowds. “For the most part we just really want it to be a great party,” said Fox. “It is an opportunity for people to get dressed out, enjoy the fashion show and dance. It is

a really good time for people who have those pieces in their closet that they never know when to wear them to bust them out.” The clothing is being provided from Tiger Alley in Penticton, which sells custom T-shirts and new and used apparel. Stylists from Heiress Salon and Boutique will be coming up with funky hairstyles for the 20 models. “It is a mix of contemporary and vintage. Everything is predominately used and then all the headdresses were specifically made for the show,” said Tiger Alley owner Jordan Keij. “We try and find pieces that are really unique, high quality, brand name to bring an interesting shopping experience for people.” Keij created all the elaborate head dresses herself. “There is a lot of glue gun burns on me,” she joked. “It was a fun project though. It looks interesting and I think

representative of a lot of things around the city.” Local artists have been invited to submit ideas for wearable art pieces to be included in the fashion parade. Their one-off creative works will be available for sale on the night, with 10 per cent going to the fundraising cause. Contributing artists will retain 90 per cent of their sale. Limited positions for artists are available; anyone considering submitting a wearable art piece should apply via the website as soon as possible at www.pentictonsocialclub.com. Anyone interested in supporting this event should contact the organizers via the event website www.pentictonsocialclub.com. Doors will open at 8 p.m. on July 26. Tickets are $40 general admission and $60 for VIP and must be bought in advance. They are on sale on the event website or in person at Heiress Salon & Boutique, Tiger Alley and Cowork Penticton.

Benefit concert features Destiny the Dance Band Kristi Patton

Western News Staff

A Penticton couple is putting their passion for music towards a good cause. Holly and Gerry Gilligan, also known as Destiny the Dance Band, are hoping to raise some money and spirits through their music with a fundraiser concert for Penticton school breakfast and lunch programs “We have all these people with kids going to school with empty stomachs and how can you learn on an empty stomach? You can’t. You have to have food. We contacted a woman at the school board and they said, yes we would love to have you do that,” said Gerry. The couple perform their upbeat renditions of classic hits from big band and rock and roll to pop and country. Gerry plays the guitar and his wife on

the keyboards. They have been performing since 2009 at numerous South Okanagan venues including the Penticton Peach Festival, Sunshine Cabaret, the legion, service clubs and the Summerland dance club. “We love Penticton and the people are so fantastic. The people just come together for so many good causes,” said Gerry. “It is also great because I get to work with my wife, who is very talented.” Gerry volunteers at the Penticton Soupateria once a month and they held a benefit concert in the winter raising $700 for the organization that provides at least 100 dinners a day. “We thought wow, that is great, let’s see if we can do that again for someone else,” said Gerry. The Feed the Kids benefit concert, featuring Destiny the Dance Band, is on July 20 at Gyro Park in Penticton from 7 to 9 p.m.

Games a golden experience $899 + TAX

Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

South Okanagan athletes earned 22 medals for Team B.C. in the Special Olympics Canada Summer Games in Vancouver July 8-12. KISU swimmer Avery Newton led the pack with five gold medals. Newton won the 50-metre backstroke, the 200-m freestyle, the 50-m butterfly, 50-m freestyle and 100-m butterfly. “I was so surprised when I got five gold medals,” said Avery. “At the very end, I had a smile on my face.” Newton said she was nervous in her Canada Games debut, but felt fine once she hit the water. In all five events, Newton earned best times and said it was her best performance of the season. However, what she enjoyed most about being at the games was making new friends. She received a warm reception from teammates after giving them orange bracelets. She made more than 300. “They enjoyed them, got lots of hugs,” said Avery, who was also glad to see her teammates perform well. Amanda Schleppe won two gold medals in the 100-m backstroke and 100 IM F3 division and a silver medal in the 100-m breast stroke. Angela Klein earned silver in the 50-m freestyle F7 and captured gold in the 50-m breaststroke F4 and bronze in the 4x50-m relay. Larry Cavenaile earned silver in the 25-m freestyle M1 and 50-m backstroke M3. Schleppe, now in Nanaimo for the B.C. Summer Games, was pleased

with her achievement. “My main goal was for personal bests,” she continued. “If I got medals that was good. I just really wanted to push myself to get better times.” Schleppe, who looks up to Olympic swimmers because of how hard they work, said adrenaline helped her go faster. “I feel the adrenaline when I get into the water,” she said. Schleppe also enjoyed the games beyond competing and said it was a life changing experience. “It was actually cool to go with friends, meet people from different provinces,” said Schleppe, who learned about different cultures. “It was pretty sweet. It was the best experience of my life. The competition was really good.” Also enjoying the experience was Jake Huff, a gold-medal winner in 10pin bowling in M4 and flag bearer for Team B.C. “I just felt honoured to carry the flag for B.C.,” he said. “It was just a huge experience.” Huff, who competed in the Special Olympics Canada Summer Games in 2010 in London, Ont., said the crowd was unbelievable. “They were cheering so loud,” he said. In winning gold, Huff said he performed his best and said he’s more skilled compared to four years ago. The bowlers he faced were just as good. “Some of them were really awesome bowlers,” said Huff. “Don’t ever underestimate the other bowlers because you may never know what else that they are going to do. Some of them bowled four

Huff said they knew they weren’t performing their best, but they are still happy with their fourth-place finish. Other 10-pin bowling results saw David McPherson place fourth in doubles

It’s the first time bocce was played at the national level. “It’s big,” said Cade. “History in the making. It’s the first time it’s gone beyond provincials. It’s huge for our teams.” Winning gold from Penticton were Margaret Burnell, Lynden Hicks and

Chad Conlon. “I thought that they performed well,” said Cade, whose team won 15-11 and didn’t lose any matches in round robin play. Conlon said he enjoyed seeing the other teams and how they were coming along. The only thing he didn’t like was facing the Pirates. “The bad thing is we had to beat our own players to play for gold,” said Conlon of their win against the Pirates, which featured Penticton’s Ariel Eastland, Kevin Ellis and Summerland’s Ida Rebagliati

and Princeton’s Mary Sol. “You’re happy you’re winning, but sad to knock them off.” The highlight of the games for Conlon was what came after their gold medal win. “It was dousing Dona with water,” he said. “I screamed,” said Cade, adding she is very proud of the athletes and that it’s a pleasure to work with them. “It was all in fun.” Conlon and Cade then praised Mona Hazel for everything she does to support Special Olympics.

The Penticton Vees have bolstered their forward depth with the addition of Patrick Newell. Newell joins the Vees after having won the Clark Cup championship with the U.S. Hockey League’s Indiana Ice. During that playoff run he scored four goals and finished with seven points in 12 games. After visiting Penticton two weeks ago, the 18-year-old was more than impressed with the city and the South Okanagan Events Centre. “Coach (Fred) Harbinson showed me

the town and the rink and everything and I thought it would be just a fantastic place to play junior hockey,” said Newell. The Thousand Oaks, Calif. product, who has 16 goals and 58 points in 79 USHL regular season games, said he connected well with the Vees coaches and feels it will be a different experience playing junior hockey in Canada. Newell is intrigued to play in a city that loves the sport. Newell said he brings a little bit of everything to the table. “I can make nice passes. I can score when needed,” said Newell,

IN BRIEF Junior triathlon date change

N O I T C U R T S E D F EVE O SPEEDWAY

With the B.C. Summer Games taking place in Nanaimo July 17-20, the Boston Pizza Junior Triathlon has been bumped to Aug. 22. Race director Troyce Beglaw said the dates usually change every two years as it normally takes place prior to the Peach Classic Triathlon which is on July 20. “In the past we’ve just always had fewer of the older athletes come,” said Beglaw, adding that he spoke to Steve King and a few other people about moving the BP Junior Triathlon to the week of Challenge Penticton. Beglaw, who is officiating the triathlon events for the B.C. Summer Games, said in having it part of Challenge events, it makes it more family oriented and something for the kids to do. However, Beglaw said the triathlon will return to its usual weekend with the Peach Classic. Currently the BP Junior Triathlon has 60 kids signed up and he’s hoping for 150, but he’s not sure if that will happen with other events scheduled around the same time. Entry forms for the triathlon can be found at www.challenge-penticton.com under enter.

who loves L.A. Kings forward Anze Kopitar because of what he brings to the game and how he plays in both ends. “I obviously have to play defence too. Try to be the best I can be all-around.” “Patrick’s skill set will only add to our depth upfront and he’ll be looked upon as an impact player for us,” said Harbinson in a team statement. “It’s always a great benefit to an organization to add a player with championship experience.” Find full story at w w w. p e n t i c t o n w e s t ernnews.com.

There is still a bounty on the records for the 32nd Peach Classic Triathlon sponsored by Schoenne Appraisals. The triathlon, which takes place Sunday starting at 7:05 a.m. by the peach will give $5,000 to the male and female who breaks the Olympic distance records of Stefan Jacobsen, who finished in one hour, 54 minutes, 25 seconds, and Carol Montgomery’s mark of 2:04:25. In the Olympic distance, athletes face a 1.5-kilometre swim, a 40-km bike and 10-km run. The sprint distance consists of swimming

750-m, biking 20-km and running 5-km. There is a three-hour cutoff for the bike and run course. Registration for the event can be picked up at Peach City Runners or at the Bike Barn. Online registration is now closed.

Pikes getting quicker

Members of the Penticton Pikes swim club are getting better and quicker. “The kids are swimming fast and improving more and more everyday,” said coach Cole Midtdal. In Kamloops earlier this month, the Pikes picked up aggregate medals from Ashley McMillan, Ryan McMillan, Simon Paisley, and TJ Paisley. The Pikes skipped the Golden meet last weekend, but Midtdal said that gives them more time to train. “We have been putting in some hard work and will continue to do so for another week or so,” he said. In Colville, Wash., and Kamloops, Midtdal said the Pikes had fantastic meets. Ashley McMillan set records in six of her events. The next meet on the Pikes’ schedule is in Salmon Arm this weekend and the club has 15 swimmers attending. Regionals are in Kelowna on Aug. 2-3 and provincials are in Kamloops Aug.15-17.

The South Okanagan Minor Baseball Association midget Tigers bowed to the Chilliwack Cougars 10-0 and 13-3 in B.C. under-18 league play in their first games after a month off. Now 7-18, Tigers coach Junior Deleon said his team showed up to play last weekend. “We were in both games for the most part. In the first game, we had one bad inning that demoralized the boys,” said Deleon. After a call didn’t go in the Tigers’ favour at first base that would have ended the inning, the Cougars scored four runs. On the mound, Brad Fleming threw well enough for a victory, but the Tigers just couldn’t muster any offence. “In the first game we just made too many mistakes on the bases,” said Deleon, who saw continued growth from his players. Austin Groot pitched well in the second game, limiting the Cougars offence in four innings. This weekend the Tigers host Kamloops on Saturday at 1 and 3:30 p.m. at Carmi Field, then on Sunday the Tigers take on Cloverdale at 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. also at Carmi Field. In other team news, the Tigers had Tyler Lemke, Taylor Kanke, Ryan Konno and Matthew Jones play in the U18 all-star game earlier this month with Team Island-Interior against Team Mainland. The game finished in a 9-9 tie. Lemke hit a double and triple in one inning. He also struck out four batters, while Kanke struck out three. Kanke and Connor Graham made a B.C. minor baseball under-16 selects team that traveled to San Francisco for a tournament July 2-6. “It was really interesting. A lot of new things that I learned at the camp,” said Kanke, who picked up tips to improve hitting, batting and

Making a difference

Penticto n is a better p lace

For the gift of life Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Colin Van Blerk is the kind of guy who likes to finish what he starts. Close to 15 years ago, he and the now-defunct Ogopogo Lions Club were approached to help re-establish a regular blood donor clinic in Penticton. Along with his wife and fellow club members, Van Blerk made it happen, and to this day he still volunteers at the clinic, which sets up for a few days each month at the Seniors’ Drop-In Centre. “It’s been well worth it, because I’ve needed blood myself and I’ve met a lot of nice people,” he said. “I had major back surgery and was given quite a lot of blood. And to me, giving the blood or working here, it’s the gift of life.” Van Blerk actually got his start as a volunteer decades ago in his native Rhodesia through the work of his mom, who gave some of her time at leper colonies via the Women’s Institute. “My sister and I would roll bandages up at a young age, six or eight years old,” he recalled. “I just liked helping people out.” Following his move to Canada, Van Blerk eventually worked his way into a management position at a metal fabrication shop in Burnaby, where he retired 20 years ago, then moved to Penticton. Soon after, he volunteered to serve as treasurer of a local square dancing club and became active in the community, mainly through the Ogopogo Lions Club, which shut down about eight years ago. “Like all service clubs, it was hurting for membership. Members aren’t stepping up to the plate,” he said. Van Blerk has since joined the Okanagan Falls Lions Club and donates his time to a variety of causes, such as a children’s breakfast club and an eyeglasses recycling program for which he has personally collected 37,000 pairs that were cleaned up and given away in Third World countries.

Colin Van Blerk gets ready for his volunteer shift this week at the blood donor clinic in Penticton.

Joe Fries/Western news

“I’m going for 50,000,” he said with a laugh, adding he has talked about quitting after reaching that milestone, “but I can’t.” “It’s part of me, I love people, and I just enjoy it,” Van Blerk said. Kathy Krenn, the volunteer team leader for the Penticton blood donor clinic, said Van Blerk is a vital part of her 45-person crew of helpers. “He gets along with everybody,” she said. “And when he’s not here at a clinic, often some of the donors who are regulars, or some of the staff, will say, ‘Where’s Colin? I haven’t seen him in awhile.’

“He keeps everybody entertained.” Krenn took over her position from Van Blerk’s wife, Anne, about five years ago, and said the couple remains as committed to the cause as ever. “If I need help at the last second, they’re there,” she said. The clinic doesn’t need any volunteers at the moment, but Krenn noted she’s looking for someone to help with community outreach programs to raise awareness about Canadian Blood Services programs. Anyone interested in the volunteer position should apply at www.blood.ca.

Formula 1 has never been closer to your driveway

‘‘

It is a certainty that the rapid-fire experimentation that is going on in F1 will result in improvements to our everyday cars. Keith Morgan

’’

Even if you squint while looking at the Hybrid gas-electric car on your driveway, you likely have a hard time imagining it is anything like an F1 race car. However, the new advanced hybrid technology at play in this 2014 season means that Formula 1 has never been closer to your driveway. The car power units are 1600cc turbocharged V6 engines with direct fuel injection. They have to complete each race with 35 per cent less fuel, with a maximum fuel load of 100 kilogram (not litres) and the fuel flow is restricted to 100 kg/hour. That would mean your favourite driver would bow out halfway through without further engineering help. In addition, the power units have two electric motors, one linked directly to the turbocharger, the other working in the same way that the Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) used to do. The result is a combined maximum power output of around 760bhp, which is similar to the output of the V8 cars of last year. It is a certainty that the rapid-fire experimentation that is going on in F1 will result in improvements to our everyday cars. That’s the beauty of this highly competitive sport that is so geared to winning. Changes come faster because there’s no chance to undertake testing that takes an age under normal testing. Last year, when I visited the Monaco Grand Prix as a guest of the Infiniti-Red Bull F1 race team, I chatted to Infiniti engineers who marvelled at the pace of im-

provement. Said one Infiniti engineer: “They do things so much more quickly than we can do under normal development processes because they have to. And the changes they make are so thoroughly tested on the track. It points two ways: sometimes what they do shows us the way to go but also the way not to go!” Hong Kong-based Infiniti has made a very shrewd move in tying itself to the F1 team and particularly the reigning F1 champion Sebastian Vettel. The German racer is the marque’s Director of Performance. His association goes far beyond the typical celebrity endorsement, for he takes on a literal hands-on-thewheel approach to his role. Last year, I drove with Vettel on the Paul Ricard circuit in the south of France. He talked enthusiastically about how he hoped to influence future Infiniti design and performance. At trackside, Infiniti personnel were impressed with his ability to tell them what changes they needed to make to its setup after only a couple of laps of the track. He has played a significant role in the development of the compact Q30, which should surface later next year. He has already left his mark on the all-new Infiniti Q50 sport sedan and sports car enthusiasts pray a high-powered ‘Eau Rouge’ version of the car will hit the production line. Now, if I were a betting man, I would say confirmation of production might be soon. Yours truly will join the team again next month at the Belgian Grand Prix, at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps . . . location of the famous ‘Eau Rouge’ corner. We will drive Q50s from the south of England, through the Euro Tunnel and on to Spa. Immediately prior to the race weekend, yours truly will join international journalists in a behindthe-scenes visit to the team’s UK base in Milton Keynes. There we will learn something about the fast track work they carry out on the F1 cars. I suspect we will get a peek in what is in store for that car on your driveway and you will read about it here. keith.morgan@driveway. bc.ca

The Macan uses the same platform as the Audi SQ5.

When the Porsche Cayenne was introduced, I questioned why the iconic sports car maker would build a grocery-getting SUV. Boy was I ever wrong. Porsche was not only successful in introducing the Cayenne, it went on to become its best-selling vehicle and – wait for it – I even bought one! So, with the latest introduction of a smaller SUV called Macan, there is less fanfare around the fact that it actually exists and more excitement about how it performs. The bigger question is with so many small luxury SUVs entering the market, is the

I love the way the Macan looks, the interior is wonderful and the handling can be very sporty if the buyer chooses.

Zack Spencer

’’

Macan worth the $54,300 to get a base model or $82,200 for the turbo? Looks The Macan uses same platform as the Audi Q5, a Volkswagen Group sibling, but features an entirely different body shell and engine options. The most striking design element is the wide hood that folds over the side of the front fenders, making a seamless, wide stance that is impressive. The hood actually has cutouts for the headlamps and weighs only 17kg. “Side Blades” decorate the lower body of the Macan and can be ordered in black, a matching body colour or carbon fibre. The back end of the Macan is particularly sleek and tidy, the taillights wrap around from the side and into the tailgate with precision. It’s the lack of a trunk release that makes the design so pleasing. Instead, a small button on the base of the windshield wiper that electronically releases the power tailgate. Below the tailgate four exhaust tips tell passersby that this is a powerful machine. Inside What the Macan has over the Q5 is a level of interior refinement that is almost unmatched in the car business. It’s finished with fine leather and a simple design that makes interacting with this SUV a joy. There are several drawbacks though. The cargo area is long but the rake of the rear window limits taking larger objects inside the car. The back seat I find too small for a family of four people. Since I own a Cayenne, I have a great perspective on the amount of room this Macan offers. Legroom is obviously tighter, headroom is just okay, it is the lack of space side-toside that I find limiting. The Cayenne is a perfect family choice, the Macan I believe is suited for a single person or active professional cou-

ple. Not to say it couldn’t be used for family duty, it just wouldn’t be my choice. Drive The launch of the Macan in California provided a route that carved through the mountains outside of Los Angeles on the way to Willow Springs racetrack. Porsche always holds its events at a racecourse, proof that they believe they have something in this new SUV. There might be some confusion surrounding the naming of this car. Both the Macan S and Macan Turbo both come fitted with a V6 turbo. The base model is a 3.0L V6 with 340hp. The “Turbo” gets a larger 3.6L V6 with a higher output turbocharger and is rated at 400hp. The base model would be my choice. Driving on back country roads the power was fantastic and the additional money could be spent upgrading the suspension from the base steel springs to steel with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) that allows the driver to set the firmness of the ride. This upgrade was noticeable on the track. The turbo comes standard with this setup but the added power and expense was only really noticeable when the Macan was pushed very hard around the racetrack. For regular commuting the S is just fine. Verdict I love the way the Macan looks, the interior is wonderful and the handling can be very sporty if the buyer chooses. Here is the issue; the Macan can get very expensive in a hurry. All of the cars I drove in California were over $100,000 with features like PASM, additional air suspension and sport-chrono settings for the 7-speed duel clutch automatic. When I configure a base S with the features I would want like navigation, PASM, front and rear parking sensors, bigger wheels, Bose stereo and a few other odds and ends, that comes to almost $75,000, never mind the $82,200 starting price of the turbo. Having recently driven the spectacular Audi SQ5, on which this car is based, that 354hp rocket is a bargain at $60,000, almost fully equipped. I like the Macan, and they will sell every one to people who want to have the latest, but I think the pricing structure is a bit over the top. zack.spencer@drivewaybc. ca

Station wagons are officially an endangered species in North America. Richard Nixon was president when the last really cool one was built in America. A quick look at the cars on this list might make you re-think any preconceived notions that wagons were all “Mom Mobiles” for the pre-minivan generation.

1955-57 Chevrolet Nomad — The iconic Tri-Five Chevy, built from 1955-1957, was likely the post-war high-water mark for Chevrolet. It came in myriad body styles and was available

www.pentictonwesternnews.com

Five of the coolest station wagons ever with the first version of Chevrolet’s legendary small-block V-8. The two-door Nomad wagon gives even the convertible a serious run for its money in the cool department. 1959 Pontiac Safari — The 1950s were littered with cool station wagons with over-the-top styling. Our vote goes for the ’59 Pontiac Safari. That was the model year in which tail fins reached their absurd apex. The ’59 Safari actually had two sets of fins on the top and the bottom of the rear fenders, making it look like a Redstone ballistic missile – which was probably not an accident. 1964-65 Chevrolet Chevelle — Two-door wagons are very impractical to the point of defeating the purpose of having a wagon in the first

place, but they look cool. We love the first-generation Chevelle two-door wagon for its handy size, great looks and the fact that all of the performance parts from the two-door SS coupe will fit on the wagon, making it a great sleeper muscle car. 1968-72 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser — The Vista Cruiser and the Ford Country Squire are the cars that immediately come to mind when referring to the “back backseat,” and it was probably in one of these wagons where the classic slow-burn phrase “Don’t make me come back there” was first uttered by an agitated father. The Olds gets the nod in terms of cool, simply because we love the glass roof and GM’s spot-on styling work.

1971-73 Volvo 1800ES — Volvo of the 1960s and ‘70s wasn’t exactly a company synonymous with high style. Frumpy but practical 544s, Amazons and brick-like 240s were the stereotypical Volvos of the day. But the P1800 coupe was gorgeous, and for a few brief model years it was available as a very pretty two-door sports wagon. Nicknamed “Cinderella’s Coffin” by some for their long, flat roof lines and generous glass, these wagons are among the few truly collectible Volvos — and they run virtually forever.
