Committee officially launched The North Cariboo Healthier Communities Committee / NCHCC is pleased to announce they have adopted terms of reference and by doing so, the committee is officially launched. Led by Growing North Cariboo Society, the committee is comprised of representatives from a variety of local organizations and agencies that are involved with regional agricultural, food production and food security, physical fitness, First Nations, youth, families and seniors. The intent of the committee is to support programs, through collaboration and partnerships, that aid in the development of strategies that support healthy communities with a particular focus
on healthy eating, local food security, and physical activity. The establishment of the NCHCC was recognized as a way of bringing together individuals and groups from across the North Cariboo with a common interest that are often duplicating services and working in isolation. Services in rural areas can be limited, so activities and projects that the NCHCC supports will be assessed and developed with this in mind. The committee will focus on identifying issues related to community health with a focus on food security, access to local, fresh healthy food, and how these fit into healthy communities and sustainable community development.
“Custom means designed for you. We specialize in creating spaces that are designed with your tastes in mind, while insuring it is aesthetically and functionally pleasing. We are a full service design/build firm, from the design scheme, to the last well placed hook. Come visit us to see how renovating can be an easy, non-stressful way to update your space!”
The committee will ensure membership includes people who reside in communities throughout the North Cariboo. The committee will identify common issues within the scope of the committee’s purpose with the goal of working towards improving overall community healthy within the North Cariboo (Cariboo Regional District Electoral Areas A, B, C and I, City of Quesnel, and the District of Wells). The Committee is co-chaired by a representative from the Cariboo Regional District and Northern Health. Additional information on the NCHCC can be found at http://growingnorthcariboosociety. farmed.ca/ or by emailing GNC@farmed.ca

Residents reminded of recycling The city and MultiMaterial BC (MMBC) wish to remind residents about where to place their garbage and recycling collection containers. Residents are asked not to lean anything beside, or stack any-
thing on top of garbage carts. Automated garbage collection in Quesnel requires clearance surrounding the bins to allow the truck’s collection mechanism to work properly. Residents have left enough
space, approximately two feet, if they can walk around the garbage cart. Recycling boxes can be placed beside, or on top of, each other and corrugated cardboard that does not fit in the box
Fashion for your bed, bath & kitchen
with other papers and fibres can be tied in bundles and placed between the recycling boxes. Additional details about garbage collection are available at /www.quesnel.ca/ GarbageCollect.html.

Legebokoff receives life in prison TERESA MALLAM PG Free Press Before a courtroom filled with victims’ family members and spectators, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Glen Parrett sentenced convicted killer Cody Alan Legebokoff, 24, on Tuesday to four concurrent terms of life imprisonment. Last Thursday, Sept. 11, a 12-person jury came back after a day-and-ahalf of deliberations rendering verdicts finding Legebokoff guilty of four counts of first degree murder in the 2009 and 2010 deaths of Jill Stuchenko, Natasha Montgomery, Cynthia Maas and Loren Donn Leslie. In handing down the mandatory sentences, Parrett gave a brief review of the circumstances around all four murders. The judge also gave some of his own thoughts about certain aspects of the case and his view of the killer. “He [Legebokoff] should never be allowed to walk with us again,” said Parrett. Parrett also praised an RCMP officer involved in the case. He was aware, he said, that we should all be “eternally grateful” to a young and inexperienced

“I do not believe that X, Y, or Z exist or that they were involved in the murders of (Stuchenko, Mass, Montgomery).” Justice Parrett
police officer, Const. Aaron Kehler, whose instincts on that day, Nov. 27, 2010 led to the arrest of Legebokoff and a first charge of murder in the case of Loren Leslie. Good luck in timing initially brought the officer to that location – a logging road off Highway 27, just as Legebokoff was leaving the scene of his crime. And that first investigation eventually led to the merging of other investigations that resulted in the other three murder charges laid against Legebokoff, he said. The judge also cited dozens of passages found both in stories told to authorities after his Nov. 28 arrest and during his own testimony at trial which demonstrated that Legebokoff “lacked empathy or remorse.” Further, the judge said, “I do not believe that X, Y
or Z exist or that they were involved in the murders of [Stuchenko, Mass, Montgomery],” referring to Legebokoff’s defence claim that he was present at the murders but others actually committed the crimes. Nothing in the evidence, he said, raised a doubt about Legebokoff’s guilt, he said. In sentencing Legebokoff, Parrett also granted an order made pursuant to an application by the Crown that he must comply with conditions set out in the Sex Offender Information Registration Act. He must also submit to an order which authorizes the taking of his DNA for analysis and he was also handed down a lifetime ban of owning or having in his possessions firearms, explosives etc. Parrett said he was persuaded “nothing useful” could come of proceeding with Legebokoff’s citation for contempt of court arising from Legebokoff’s repeated refusal during his testimony to put names to “X,Y and Z” – people he said were the main ones responsible for the first three murders.

Ann Hosken It is with great sadness that we announce that on Tuesday 9th of September 2014 Ann Hosken (Just Anns Alterations) passed away. Memorial was held in Spain on Saturday September 13 ,2014. Ann was survived by her husband Geoff Hosken, granddaughter Shelby Westbury, son Michael Westbury (Kat and Kids) & (Simone Lavoie), sisters Linda & Brenda, as well as Nieces, nephews, and many friends. Ann’s family thanks you all for your well wishes and support. The story was not entirely fabricated however, says Parrett, because part of it was woven around the Crown’s evidence that Legbokoff knows exists and heard about in court and it also puts “tools in his hands.” “I accept that Mr. Legebokoff participated [in the murders],” said Parrett “The difficulty for Mr. Legebokoff is that he was the only one there.” Legebokoff will not be eligible for parole for 25 years.

Where’s the justice?
M
ental illness is nothing to disregard, but using it as a tool to avoid punishment only further undermines a flawed justice system. According to police reports, Joseph Oberhansley brutally murdered his ex-girlfriend and then ate portions of her organs. Documents further state he confessed to breaking into Tammy Jo Blanton’s home, stabbing her to death, removing part of her skull, brain and lung and cooking and eating the organs. Now there’s talk his attorney may file a motion to determine whether this psycho is capable of standing trial. Admittedly this guy needs serious help, but that does not mean he should step one foot out of a prison setting – ever. Regardless of his mental state this guy needs life behind bars, no chance of parole, no glimmer of hope for rehabilitation. He’s crazy, he’s dangerous and this isn’t the first time he’s shown signs of violent, disturbing behaviour. In 1998, Oberhansley was convicted of killing his 17-yearold girlfriend and shooting his mother. He was released two years ago. This man should not have been allowed out in the first place, but to now hide behind mental illness and receive specialized, not to mention incredibly expensive care, on the backs of taxpayers while his victims families face unimaginable pain is a total joke. He cannot be helped, he cannot be rehabilitated. Look him up and throw away the key. –Autumn MacDonald, Observer

A special friendship rekindled
ran into an ex-friend in the grocery store this week. If I’d seen her from a distance or if she’d seen me, we probably would have avoided each other as we’ve done in the past. But as she was pushing her buggy around the corner of a middle aisle, I was wheeling my cart in her direction and suddenly we were face to face. “Hi,” I said, excited to see her, temporarily forgetting that we’d had a mysterious falling out over six years ago. “Hi,” she said, smiling back at me. And then we stood there for what seemed like an entire minute just looking at each other. “I don’t know what I did to upset you,” I blurted out anxiously. “But whatever I did, I’m really sorry.” Instantly I felt tears in my eyes and could see tears in hers too. We hugged and laughed

On A Brighter Note and started asking each other about our lives and families. We also reminisced. We talked about the time we got caught in a terrifying whiteout on the Coquihalla Highway and were afraid for our lives, as our children goofed around loudly in the back seat. I told her about the pictures that I was just looking at: her daughter and my son when they were hilarious toddlers running around naked in my backyard. And then I asked if she remembered when I first told her I was pregnant with my now 11-year-old daughter.
not approaching her sooner. “That’s good.” I completely agreed - it is good. But I can’t help kicking myself for my bad habit of avoiding conflict. By doing so in this situation, I allowed the hurt feelings between us to needlessly fester. I’m grateful for the surprise close encounter with her in the grocery store. As we hugged for a second time and promised to meet for coffee, I thought of my mom telling me how yellow roses represent joy and friendship, and I vowed to send a bouquet to my long lost pal. I don’t know if we’ll establish the same kind of relationship we once had, but I’m sure we’ll feel better about each other going forward. It feels good to love her again without the hurt.

Again – tears. We had a lot of great moments together as new mothers and I’ll never forget meeting her for the first time with our babies. I liked her right away. We were fast friends and I assumed we’d always be there for one another. Until we weren’t. Our falling out was briefly discussed and my reasons for being upset with her vanished when I found out why she was mad at me. I had no recollection of what she described and it felt like there must have been some kind of miscommunication way back when, but all I could do was apologize again for the part that I played in the demise of our friendship, whether I remembered it or not. I think if we’d talked it out at the time we would have been fine. However, neither one of us made that effort. “Well, we’re talking now,” my friend said, after I told her how much I regretted

Editor: Re: Arbitration unlikely path to end teachers strike, Observer. I have read, with absolute amazement, the above article and I am still recovering from the devastating news that the poor teachers are “willing” to give up their demand for fertility treatments, and prescribed massage and physiotherapy – giving up fertility treatments should be a “given” since they are always screaming about class sizes. As for physiotherapy and massages – that leaves me speechless. Be grateful for being in a profession that will always be employed, and get on with it. The way some of the teachers are behaving at the moment, on the picket lines, makes me wonder if they have ever grown up. A friend of ours has a teacher screaming her silly head off at all traffic passing the school – very mature I must say. J. Heatherington Quesnel
Integrated classrooms don’t work Editor: Re: Factory model fading for schools (B.C. Views, Sept. 10). I am a retired teacher with 37 years of experience. The biggest mistake that the education ministry in British Columbia has made over my years of teaching (and they have made many), was putting the mentally handicapped into regular classrooms. That robbed good students of the time required to help solve their problems as the teacher was too busy working with the group whose progress was nil. That decision also immediately required teacher aides, some of whom did very little to help out in the classroom. The ministry caused this problem and now they do not want to fund it. This is typical government mismanagement. Len Schafer West Kelowna

Rotary’s annual Seniors Trek a huge success ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
A
fter several years of invitations and few years closer to senior status myself, I made plans to accompany 120 seniors and several Quesnel Rotary members on the annual trek to Barkerville. Despite the very chilly early morning weather, the two buses were filled to capacity with eager seniors ready for a day in the historic town, lunch and theatre included. Each year the Quesnel Rotary Club hosts this event where they treat the seniors to lunch at one of three restaurants of their choice, tickets to Theatre Royal and the camaraderie of their peers. As a newcomer to this activity, I was struck by the buzz created from the very beginning. These are people who often see each other in the context of everyday life, but this was different, this was an adventure, this was a special sharing time and they were maximizing the experience. There were seniors with walkers and canes, others hanging on to their friends arm, still more just keeping an eye out for anyone needing a little extra care. And together with the Rotary members who circulated through the crowd making sure everyone was taken care of, the journey got underway. The quiet hum on the bus with seniors catching up on their lives, sharing stories and enjoying the beautiful sunny day (now they were on a warm bus) made for a very pleasant trip to Barkerville. Once we arrived, seniors
fanned out along the street heading into the heart of the heritage town, looking for their restaurant, peering in windows and helping each other explore. For two of the travellers, Darlene Parkes and Helen Mickey, Barkerville is like an old friend, familiar, friendly comfortable. “The first time I came to Barkerville was about 30 years ago,” Darlene said. “It was great with traditional old stuff, the things people went through was reality and that’s more interesting than today. People really worked and appreciated things.” Helen Mickey said the first time she came to Barkerville was in 1953 and it was a ghost town. “There were three families living here and it was amazing to think how many there were at one time,” she said. “It was pretty rough and tumble back then.” Over the years, Helen has watched the historic town grow and enjoys returning every year on this excursion. Darlene said it’s great they retained the authentic nature of Barkerville. Before many could image, they were taking the mass picture in front of the iconic St. Saviour’s Church and heading back to the bus, ready for the journey back home. Talk was of the terrific vaudeville-style show at the theatre, the satisfying lunch and the glorious weather (when it finally warmed up a bit.) Another triumphant trip thanks to Quesnel Rotary Club. Job well done.

Louisiana Hayride honours country music’s most celebrated stars Quesnel is being treated to the amazing Louisiana Hayride musical variety show Sept. 25 at 7:30 p.m. in the Senior Centre. Established in 1948, the Louisiana Hayride was a musical variety show performed at the Shreveport, Louisiana Municipal Auditorium and broadcast live over KWKH Radio. It was best known for giving unknown artists a chance to perform; artists such as Hank Williams, Jim Reeves, Johnny Cash, Kitty Wells, Faron Young and even Elvis Presley. Well, that Louisiana Hayride show comes back to life with the extraordinary vocal ability and superb musicianship of the cast of this Louisiana Hayride Tribute Show. You’ll be taken back in time and experience what was one of the most influential shows in music history. You will chuckle at the antics of Hank Williams and your toes will be tapping when he sings his big
hits. When Tammy Wynette steps out, you’ll know why she was a country superstar. Oh yes, and then there’s Willie. Let’s just say you won’t want to miss that. And just when you think it couldn’t get any better, out walks Patsy Cline. Her magical voice will send shivers up your spine. This extraordinary show also features Roy Orbison, who will have you dancing in your seat. Woven throughout the songs are fascinating tidbits of information, delightfully presented by your host and creator of the show, Lori Risling. The cast of multi-talented musicians include William Brookfield on double keyboard, guitar, banjo and vocals. You’ll be absolutely delighted with Brookfield’s stellar recreation of songs by Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Waylon Jennings. Mike Melnichuk adds stand-up bass, electric guitar and incredibly

smooth vocals when he treats the audience to songs by Faron Young, Red Foley and Merle Haggard. Gil Risling adds electric and acoustic guitar and amazing vocals when in character as Hank Williams, Willie Nelson and Roy Orbison. In addition to these talented musicians, Andrea Anderson returns as Patsy Cline and Tammy Wynette. Also new to this show will be a tribute to Glen Campbell. “People love this type of music and they love the stories we tell,” Gil Risling said. Since its inception almost five years ago, the Louisiana Hayride tribute show has been steadily growing in popularity.
“The word is out there,” Risling said. “We have people booking their holidays so they can travel to see our show again. It’s incredible.” You won’t want to miss this extraordinary evening of fun. The show will take you on a magical journey, a delight from start to finish. You love the songs, you will love the stories. Tickets for this great show at the Quesnel Senior Centre are $35 each at Circle “S” Western Wear 250992-2811 and the Quesnel Visitors Centre 250-9928716 online www. ticketseller.ca or call 1-866-311-1011.

Lifestyles ON THE ROAD AGAIN
Heading down Vancouver Island
The Hartridges enjoy meeting great people along the way Chris and Heather Hartridge are on their nine-month grand tour, on bicycles, to Mexico and Central America and will be submitting their travel stories to the Observer. he greatly anticipated ferry ride from Bella Coola to Port Hardy was finally here. We were told to be at the ferry terminal at 6 a.m. so we set the alarm for an early wake up call. We were out of the door of our funky motel in time for the 15-minute bike ride to the dock. Once there, it was a ‘hurry up and wait’ thing. It was however a chance to start to meet the people we would be spending the next 16 and a half hours with. First in line were Don and Andrea from Canmore. And yes, they had mutual friends in Quesnel, the Crellins.
T
The Hartridges
Back of Beyond They were headed to Shearwater to meet up with the Crellins to enjoy life on the inland waterways for a week. Then came Annette and Martin from Hamburg, Germany. We had met them briefly the day before and were looking forward to learning more about their lives in Germany. And Steve, (we’re pretty sure that was his name) from Calgary on his Suzuki offroad touring bike. It was soon time to load the ferry and we were asked to go on last so they could ‘stuff’ us in a space that was left over
from the vehicles. They found two perfect spots near the anchor lines and then we went up to the passenger deck. Compact would be the the word for this area. During rough weather I’m sure it’s downright cozy. There were refreshments including good coffee and a fridge full of water and juice. We all settled in for the long ride, exchanging stories about our lives back home. It was great to get to know more about everyone and to realize that we all shared a love of travel. The crew on board the Nimpkish were exceptional. We never imagined a B.C. ferry would slow down and do a loop around a bay full of dolphins so the passengers would see the full range of tricks they could perform. We also never expected the ship to pull up to the a rock face that displayed the carved message: “Alex Mackenzie from Canada by land 22nd July 1793”. It was a wonderful trip on the Nimpkish. We changed ferries at Bella Bella but not before dropping off Don and Andrea at Shearwater where they were meeting the Crellins. We waved to them from the ferry and then the captain said we could go to meet them too. We met in the middle of the car ramp and exchanged hugs and handshakes. A nice time for sure. Bella Bella is a busy place and seemingly much more prosperous than Bella Coola. We waited for a half hour or so until a huge ship pulled into the dock ready to take us to Port Hardy. Inside we were soon longing to be on the Nimpkish again but the Northern
Heather takes a break along on a Vancouver Island highway. Expedition was our ship now. On board it was quite luxurious with state rooms, two restaurants and a small movie theatre. We spent the better part of the evening enjoying a long dinner and some good conversation with two friends from the Nimpkish we hadn’t met. Cheyenne and Josh were two lovely young people who met in England. She is from New Zealand and he is from Vancouver Island. They too loved to travel. By 11 p.m. we were approaching Port Hardy. The scene on the car deck was another hurry up and wait situation while the whole ship shuddered and vibrated as it docked. We were finally given the green lights to go so we turned our lights on and headed off into the darkness. No worries though, we had a cabin reserved not one and a half kilometres from the dock. We
needed our headlights for sure to find the place. We were bagged from the long day but we still had enough energy to be thrilled at what we had experienced. Martin had it right when he said, “It will take me two weeks to digest everything I have seen today.” No question, it was a banner day and one we won’t forget for a long time. The next day the road south from Port Hardy was nothing short of perfect except for the lack of views. A large, wide shoulder is a good thing for everyone. After an uneventful ride to the Port McNeill turnoff we headed down to the waterfront. The waterfront is interesting with sea planes coming and going, fishing boats unloading and boats owned by those feature on the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. There were some pretty big and very fancy ships

out there. We had a delicious cold coffee thing at the Mugz Coffee Shop and met two lovely people from Port McNeill. Nicole and Bill had lived in Port McNeill for some time and were very willing to share their knowledge of the area with us. They were also very interested in our trek. Who knows, maybe we inspired them a little? We camped that night at the city campground at Broughton Point ready to take on our next leg to the town of Woss. When we crawled out of the tent the next morning it looked like it had been raining. It wasn’t rain though. Not having spent a lot of time near the sea, we weren’t used to this “Scottish Mist.” You could see and feel it. It was like being sprayed with one of those atomizers they use for plants. The ride to Woss was about 70 kilometres

of northern Vancouver Island scenery. Trees – lots of them. We arrived in Woss mid-afternoon to a thermometer reading of 37 C. Woss is a bit of a funny place. Not much there but the Woss Vegas Cafe, a motel and the General Store and a huge presence of the company Western Forest Products. A confusing reference to local campgrounds suggested there would be a Rec. Site campground on Woss Lake ‘just’ 2 – 3 kms out of Woss. Experience tells us that 2 – 3 kms can be a life changing experience on a bicycle. After stopping at the store/gas station/ lottery depot/post office/ laundromat/restaraunt in the town, we headed out feeling like explorers. We got 5 kms down the road and we knew it wasn’t going to work out. It was a super rough, dusty logging road headed into the hills. Nope, let’s bail and go to Plan B. Plan B you say? On the way to the logging road we had noticed a grassy area that looked like a park next to the Western Forest Products office. Perfect free camp we thought, and we were right. We arrived just as the employees were headed home. The area we borrowed for the night was a training ground for bush workers – it looked kind of like a logger’s sports day area. We pulled in and made ourselves at home. Thanks Western Forest Products. All we needed was place to pitch a tent, we had everything else. The next leg of our tour takes us further down island to Nanaimo. We’ll take you there next time and introduce you to some old friends along the way.

September 21 - 27, 2014 ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, your thoughts are spinning and it’s pretty difficult for you to get a hold of any one thing. Take a step back and try to clear your head before proceeding. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, don’t let your nerves get the better of you this week. Find someone who can calm your nerves and help you realize you have nothing to be nervous about. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you have plenty of motivation to get a project started. All you need is some help to get things off the ground. Others will be inspired by your enthusiasm. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, others seem to spend time in the spotlight, but you’re more comfortable spending time in the shadows. Make the most of this time for quiet reflection. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you may be anxious to try a new hobby this week, but just don’t know which direction to go. Get some recommendations from friends about what keeps them busy. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Sometimes it is difficult for you to talk about your feelings, Virgo. You want to present a brave front, but you’re only human and should let others in this week. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, staying the course may be a challenge this week. You have too many things pulling you in different directions. But you’ll be successful if you can get a foothold in one thing. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Work associates may not be holding up their end of the deal, Scorpio. You’re content to help out once in a while but not take on the work of everyone else. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Use your charm to win someone over, Sagittarius. This is an influential person who will be good to have in your corner. You never know when you might need a good ally. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, if certain ideas didn’t work in the past, give them another try. All of the components may fall into place this time around, and you’ll like the results. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, the coming weeks may be ideal for some rest and relaxation. Plan for some downtime and make the most of this chance to recharge your batteries. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, expect things to flow much more smoothly this week than they have in recent weeks. You may find you have more free time.

Welcome to the driver’s seat
Can Toyota’s Tundra ride alongside heavyweight brands like Ford, GM or Ram?
Tugging at the tails of top selling trucks If there is one segment of the auto business that takes dynamite to get people to change brands, it’s the full-size pickup truck category, I’m sure most of us know of someone who is a “Ford guy” or The Tundra is “Chevy diehard” owner, even as capable as and getting him or her to move to a new many of the domestic truck would be almost brands but in some impossible. ways it still has a way It wasn’t until the last to go to truly be an Toyota Tundra was introduced in 2007 that alternative to Ford, Toyota was a real conGM and Ram. tender. That 2007 Tundra and this refreshed 2014 Zack Spencer model are designed, engineered and even built in America, helping to pull loyal domestic buyers away. The Tundra is even as capable as many of the domestic brands but in some ways it still has a way to go to truly be an alternative to Ford, GM and Ram.
‘‘
’
is a step up from the lower trims but not nearly as supple and luxurious as the new batch of interiors from Ram and GM. Those trucks, in particular, have almost luxury-sedan interiors that make the driver forget they are in a truck. The Tundra, in comparison, is a bit stark, featuring a hard, simple plastic dash and door pieces that don’t compare. The centre screen is smaller than many competitors are, and the screen embedded in the instrument cluster is small. What has been improved is the overall layout of the centre console. The back seat is massive and flips up with just one hand to make room for interior storage. I found the last Tundra to have a very high seating position that limited headroom. This new 2014 seems to have a better seating position, no longer crimping headroom for taller drivers. Drive Powering the Tundra are two V8 gasoline engines. The base model has a 4.6L V8 with 310hp and 327 lb.-ft. of torque. The larger 5.7L has 381hp and 401 lb.-ft. of torque. This is one area that the Toyota cannot compete; there is no V6 offered and no diesel (Ram only), which the domestic makers do offer. By limiting the available engine options and not having a heavy-duty model that will certainly diminish the
number of domestic buyers willing to give Tundra a try. On the road, I was surprised at just how rough the ride is in comparison to the all-new GM trucks, which really are like driving a big sedan. I would also place the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 a very close second in ride comfort. The Tundra is choppy on rough roads and the noise level is on the high side. Toyota claims to have improved ride quality on this refreshed 2014 model but I am not a fan of the ride. Verdict The Tundra is a capable truck. When equipped it can tow up to 4760 kg, which is on the high side in this class. What surprised me the most was the real “trucky” ride. I have had extensive seat time in all three domestic brands over the past year and I have to say that they are best sellers for a reason – the refinement is rather dramatic. The Lowdown Power: 4.6L V8 with 310hp or 5.7L V8 with 381hp Fill-up: 15.8L/11.0L/100km (city/highway 5.6L) Sticker price: $26,750-$54,000 zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca
Looks As part of the 2014 redesign, Toyota went about setting up a slightly different look for each of its trim levels. Sold as an SR5, Limited and Platinum, each has a variation of the oversized front grille. The wheel openings are now larger and squarer, framing wheel sizes ranging from 18-inches on the SR5 and Limited and 20-inches on the Platinum. The Tailgate has a soft open feature, stopping it from slamming down, that is fantastic but there is no side step or ladder into the bed the way Ford and the new GM trucks have. Sold as a regular car, double cab or Crew Cab, there is a model for most buyers. Inside Just as the outside was redesigned to have a unique character for each trim, the inside mimics this idea. The Platinum model I tested is covered with a diamond pattern, or quilted look used on the leather seatbacks, side door inserts and dash front panel. It

The big stories out the of classic car world today are the multi-million dollar rarities that will be offered for sale at the big auctions in Monterey, Ca. With those cars making headlines, it’s easy to forget that The ’48 Cadillacs there isn’t a millionaires-only were the first all-new policy when it comes to Caddies after the classic cars. Here are four favourite all-American classics end of WWII and that can still be had for less they were drop-dead than the price of a loaded gorgeous. new Ford Focus: 1948-49 Cadillac Series Rob Sass 61 Club Coupe: The ’48 Cadillacs were the first all-new Caddies after the end of WWII (the 1946-47 cars were similar to the 1942 model), and they were drop-dead gorgeous with the first of the fighter plane-inspired tail fins that would grow to near mutant proportions by 1959. As elegant as any Bentley of the era, the ’49 model was the first with Cadillac’s modern overhead valve V-8. 1961-63 Ford Thunderbird: The third generation T-Bird is arguably the prettiest. The epitome of jet-age, mid-century modern style, it was dubbed “the bullet bird” for its streamlined shape. Nice coupes are particularly reasonable, and with a little searching, decent convertibles can be found for $25,000 or less. 1964-66 Ford Mustang: The first generation Mustang which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, has clearly aged beautifully, looking just as fresh today as it did in April of 1964 at its New York World’s Fair introduction. Prices seem to be firming up, but six-cylinder coupes and convertibles are still available at a reasonable price. 1927-31 Ford Model A: Like movie sequels, few automakers have had the ability to follow up one blockbuster with another of equal magnitude. The Model A was “The Godfather II” to the Model T’s “The Godfather.” If you look at American period photos from the 1930s-40s, it sometimes seems like there was nothing else on the road. They can still provide reliable transportation even in the 21st century. Amazingly, this piece of automotive history is still affordable. Tudor sedans range from $15,000 to $20,000 and roadsters $20,000 to $25,000. Rob Sass is the vice-president of content for Hagerty Insurance.
