Satisfy sweet cravings with quick and healthy cookies

(NC) Whether you’re planning to impress your guests or meal prepping for the week, this five-ingredient recipe is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Not only can you whip up these flourless almond meringue cookies quickly, but they’re also a good option for those looking to satisfy their cravings without compromising on dietary goals.

These cookies are under 40 calories per serving and are also kidneyfriendly, approved and developed by June Martin, RD, and volunteer at The Kidney Foundation of Canada. “These flourless almond meringue cookies are so pretty and versatile! You can use vanilla extract, lemon zest or cocoa in place of the almond extract to add variety to your cookie platter,” June suggests.

Flourless Almond Meringue Cookies

Prep time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 25 minutes Servings per recipe: 24 cookies

Serving size: 2 cookies Ingredients

2 egg whites at room temperature

1 tsp (5 ml) cream of tartar

½ tsp (2 ml) almond extract

½ tsp (2 ml) vanilla extract

½ cup (125 ml) white sugar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 300°F or 150°C. While the oven is preheating, add the egg whites and cream of tartar to a bowl and beat the mixture until it doubles in size.

Then add the white sugar, almond and vanilla extracts, and whip the mixture until it becomes stiff. Look for the “firm peaks” that start forming on the surface, indicating a well-whipped meringue.

Using two teaspoons, scoop the meringue into one teaspoon and slide it onto a parchment lined cookie sheet with the second teaspoon. Keep a small distance between the meringue cookies so they don’t stick together when baking.

Bake the cookies for 25 minutes or until they become crisp.

Once the flourless almond meringue cookies are out of the oven and at room temperature, store them in airtight containers to retain their freshness until you serve them.

Health Employers Association of BC reaches tentative agreement with Ambulance Paramedics & Ambulance Dispatchers Bargaining Association under the Shared Recovery Mandate

The Health Employers Association of BC has reached a tentative agreement with members of the Ambulance Paramedics & Ambulance Dispatchers Bargaining Association (APADBA) under the Province’s Shared Recovery Mandate.

APADBA represents approximately 5,000 paramedics and ambulance

dispatchers in B.C. The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 873 represent the employees in the ambulance service. Paramedics and ambulance dispatchers are employees of BC Emergency Health Services, which is part of Provincial Health Services Authority.

Negotiations under the Shared Recovery Mandate support government’s key priorities to improve public services and the health-care system, while supporting the province’s continued economic recovery for all.

Details about the agreement will be available after the ratification process for the union members and the health employers is complete.

More than 500,000 people work throughout the provincial public sector in the core public service, at Crown corporations, in health, community social services, kindergarten-

to-Grade 12 public education and at post-secondary institutions and research universities.

Of those people, approximately 393,000 are unionized employees paid under collective agreements or professionals paid through negotiated compensation agreements.

17th Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD) and it was observed on the same day by the Chetna Association of Canada

Chief Guest for the occasion was Mr. Manish (Consul General of India, Vancouver) and the guest of honour was Mr. Amarjeet Kaypee, former cricket player who earned his name for scoring 7623 runs for the Ranj Trophy. Mr. Kaypee is on a personal visit in Canada and is being welcomed by the diaspora and lovers of cricket, including Mr. Anil Khanna of BC Cricket Club.

Both Mr. Manish and Mr. Kaypee were recognized and appreciated for their contributions by Chetna Association of Canada represented by Jai Birdi, Surjit Bains, Jai Bains, Subhash Chander and of Ambedkarite International Coordination Society’s vice-president, Param Kainth. Anil Khanna of BC Cricket Club and former cricket player, Harry Kalkat were also present to celebrate the occasion and contributions of both Mr. Manish and Mr. Kaypee.

Mr. Manish and his team were recognized and appreciated for their tireless service to the diaspora and Canadians through consular, commerce, education, and cultural activities.

Mr. Kaypee was honored for his contributions to cricket and promoting fraternity and nation building through sports.

Sonia West of FYI Media Group, and a member of Chetna’s Empowerment Committee, welcomed Mr. Manish by gifting him with sweets and a package of ‘mungfali and revadeenas’, a gesture of renewal and new beginnings, an appropriate gift for the Lohri, celebrated as a folk festival in Punjab around January 13 every year.

Mr. Manish expressed his greetings and gratitude to people of Indian origin for making contributions in various fields, including administration, commerce, trade, health care, and service industry.

Mr. Kaypee also congratulated the diaspora for their contributions to Canada as well as India.

On behalf of the Consulate, Mr. Manish presented Jai Birdi, General Secretary of Chetna Association of Canada, with a shawl, as a gesture of respect and appreciation for increasing awareness and enhancing inclusion.

Province adds more items to B.C.’s recycling system

metal storage tins (thin gauge).

Examples of flexible plastics now accepted at depots only:

These items include products that are generally disposed of after a single or one-time use, such as plastic sandwich bags or throw-away party cups, bowls and plates. Single-use plastics are one of the most common items found on B.C. shores.

These regulations are separate from the federal ban on the manufacturing and importing of single-use plastics, which came into effect on Dec. 20, 2022. B.C.’s recycling regulatory changes cover a broader category of single-use products and further ensures that exemptions to the ban are recycled.

“Our government is working to ensure that people in B.C. can help to keep their communities and the environment healthy. By expanding our nation-leading recycling system to include more products, we are keeping more plastic out of our waterways and landfills,” said Aman Singh, Parliamentary Secretary for Environment. “People across the province can now recycle a wider array of single-use plastics and other materials in their blue bins and at recycling depots. This builds on the significant progress we’ve made through the CleanBC Plastics Action Plan.”

Newly accepted blue-box items include:

plastic plates, bowls and cups; plastic cutlery and straws; plastic food storage containers; plastic hangers (that come with clothing);

paper plates, bowls and cups (with thin plastic lining); aluminum foil; aluminum-foil baking dishes and pie plates; and

plastic sandwich and freezer bags; plastic shrink wrap; flexible plastic drop sheets and covering;

flexible plastic bubble wrap (no bubble wrap-lined paper);

flexible plastic recycling bags (blue, clear bags, or yellow or blue bags used for curb-side collection); and flexible plastic carry-out shopping bags (reusable).

“This expanded materials list will allow more material to be recycled, keep it out of landfills and stop it from littering the environment,” said Tamara Burns, executive director, Recycle BC. “Residents play a key role in recycling this material by enabling it to be collected – by putting it into their bins or taking materials to a depot.”

B.C. regulates the largest number of residential packaging and products in Canada through its extended producer responsibility programs, where companies and producers are responsible for the collection and recycling of the products they create. This program also promotes and encourages companies and producers to create and design less harmful plastic packaging.

These changes are effective immediately and are part of the CleanBC Plastics Action Plan, which aims to change how plastic is designed and used – from temporary and disposable to durable and reusable. The action plan addresses problem plastics and single-use items through regulation, reduces new plastic by investing in reusable solutions, supports the processing and manufacturing of post-consumer plastics, as well as enabling the largest shore cleanup in B.C.’s history.

diabetes, heart failure, blood clot drugs coverage

Thousands of people in British Columbia will benefit from BC PharmaCare’s expanded coverage of medications used to treat Type 2 diabetes, heart failure and blood clots.

Effective Thursday, Jan. 5, 2023, drug coverage for two medications will be expanded from limited coverage to regular benefit. The two drugs that are becoming regular benefits are dapagliflozin (Forxiga) and apixaban (generics). At the same time, two other medications namely, empagliflozin (Jardiance) and semaglutide (Ozempic), that are covered by PharmaCare

in British Columbia benefit from dapagliflozin under limited coverage. The expansion to a regular benefit is expected to benefit 5,000 more patients in the first year.

Apixaban (generics) is a blood thinner medication used to prevent or treat blood clots. Currently, 45,000 patients in British Columbia benefit from apixaban under limited coverage. The expansion to a regular benefit is projected to benefit approximately 24,000 more patients.

The expansion of limited coverage criteria for empagliflozin (Jardiance)

under specific medical circumstances will have their limited coverage criteria expanded. This means that more patients will be eligible for coverage of these drugs.

The changes will ensure that coverage is aligned with clinical evidence and will improve patient access to appropriate medications.

Dapagliflozin (Forxiga) is approved by Health Canada to treat several conditions such as heart failure, Type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. It was first listed as a limited coverage benefit on the BC PharmaCare formulary for patients with heart failure with “reduced ejection fraction” on Jan. 11, 2022, a condition where the muscle of the left ventricle is not pumping as well as normal. Currently, approximately 2,000 patients

and semaglutide (Ozempic) will make it easier for patients to apply for coverage of these two medications that work to lower blood sugar levels in adults with Type 2 diabetes.

In 2019, PharmaCare provided limited coverage for empagliflozin (Jardiance) and in 2020 limited coverage for semaglutide (Ozempic) to patients with Type 2 diabetes after they had tried and been unable to control their blood sugar levels by taking two other drugs, metformin and a sulfonylurea drug (e.g., glyburide), or metformin and an insulin.

PharmaCare is changing the coverage from third-line to second-line. Patients now only have to try one drug, metformin, before their physician can request coverage of empagliflozin or semaglutide.

Nurses receive support to join B.C.’s health system more quickly

The Province is making it easier for internationally educated nurses to work in B.C.’s health-care system with new financial supports and a faster, more efficient assessment pathway.

Internationally educated nurses (IENs) will no longer be required to pay application and assessment fees upfront, which cost more than $3,700. These fees will be covered directly by the Province in order to remove financial barriers for internationally educated workers who want to work in B.C.

“Supporting nurses is key to our work to making health care accessible to all British Columbians. Still, the demand for nurses is outpacing the supply,” said Premier David Eby. “There are talented and skilled nurses with the right experience who want to practise in B.C. and support high-quality care, but they are kept on the sidelines by an expensive and complicated registration process. Whether a nurse was trained in or out of the province, we are ready to welcome those who are ready to care for British Columbians.”

The Province is also providing new financial support to nurses returning to practice after a period of absence. Nurses looking to return to practice will no longer be required to pay a $300 application fee, and more than $4,000 in financial support will be available to cover assessment and eligible travel costs for nurses taking assessments in order to re-enter the workforce.

Nurses returning to practice will also be eligible to access as much as $10,000 in bursaries for any additional education required for returning to practice.

“By removing the barriers for more nurses to join our healthcare workforce, we are ensuring that people throughout the province have greater access to the health services they need, when they need them,” said Adrian Dix, Minister of Health. “Our government will continue to take action to recruit and train more healthcare workers to meet the health-care needs of British Columbians. In creating more accessible careers for nurses in B.C., we are delivering on our commitment to build a sustainable health system for many years to come.”

In April 2022, government announced $12 million to provide bursaries for IENs, launch a new marketing campaign, provide navigational supports to new and incoming IENs through HealthMatch BC, and launch a consolidated assessment approach. This has enabled some IENs to join the health-care system more quickly in the role that most closely matches their education and experience. Since then, 5,500 people have expressed interest in working in B.C., with 2,000 people actively working through the various stages of the registration and assessment process. More than 90% of nursing applications received in 2022 by the BC College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) came following these changes.

“The Province is committed to making it easier and less costly for internationally educated nurses and return-to-practice nurses to become licensed to practise in British Columbia and join the health workforce,” said Harwinder Sandhu, Parliamentary Secretary for Senior’s Services and Long-Term Care. “As a nurse educated outside of Canada, I have first-hand knowledge that it could take years for an IEN to be granted registration. I am glad to see the progress made by the BC College of Nurses and Midwives, and the Nursing Community Assessment Service to streamline the process for credential and competency assessments for IENs. The contribution of IENs to our health care is far reaching. They bring a wealth of experience, knowledge and dedication to their work. I am proud of our government’s commitment to welcoming more people to join the nursing profession so that our public health system can be wellsupported in the long run.”

In September 2022, the Province also committed up to $1.3 million to set up a new pathway to make it more efficient for IENs to obtain licensure in B.C. The funding will support BCCNM and the Nursing Community Assessment Service in creating a new streamlined approach to assessment and registration, so that more IEN applications can be assessed by BCCNM each year. This is expected to reduce the waiting period for nurses looking to work in B.C., from three years to approximately four months to nine months.

This announcement is part of B.C.’s broader Health Human Resources Strategy, which was announced on Sept. 29, 2022. The strategy supports patients by ensuring they get the health services they need and are cared for by a healthy workforce. It focuses on 70 key actions to retain, recruit and train health-care workers, while redesigning the health-care system to foster workplace satisfaction and innovation.

Help with costs arrives for British Columbians

Many people will have more money in their bank accounts as a result of the BC Affordability Credit.

“The winter season often brings extra expenses for people and, with the rising costs we’re seeing around the world, it can add stress to already stretched household budgets,” said Katrine Conroy, Minister of Finance.

“We know it won’t cover all the bills, but hopefully this little extra from the BC Affordability Credit will help take

a bit of the pressure off as we head into a new year.”

Eighty-five per cent of British Columbians will automatically receive a full or partial BC Affordability Credit through the Canada Revenue Agency. The credit will provide as much as an additional $164 per adult and $41 per child, which will be as much as $410 for a family with two children.

Conroy said.

More help is on the way for B.C. families this month through the first of three enhanced BC Family Benefit payments on Jan. 20, 2023. The January, February and March payments

will include as much as an additional $58.33 per child, for each month. A family with two children will receive as much as $350 from this top-up.

These credits are two of the cost-ofliving measures announced in the fall. This package will put close to $2 billion back in British Columbians’ pockets to help them get by during this difficult time as costs rise due to global inflation.

“We’re focused on helping the people and families who need it most right now, and we are in a strong position to continue this support,”

“No matter what is on the horizon, we’ll continue to be here for British Columbians.”

Helpful tips for people living with a chronic condition

Being diagnosed with a chronic condition can significantly impact your psychological, physical, social and even financial well-being. Life-changing decisions are often needed, but the good news is that many can overcome challenges by adopting healthier lifestyles. The following tips provide easy-to-implement actions to achieve optimal health in the face of a chronic illness.

Educate yourself with appropriate sources. Following your initial diagnosis, you may not know which steps to take, so the best way to combat any un-

certainties is to seek advice from your healthcare provider. They will guide you through appropriate treatment plans, present you the Dos and Don’ts, and point out other reliable sources to consult if further help is required.

Connect with others for support. Living with a chronic illness can feel isolating, but you are rarely alone. In Canada, a large number of adults live with common chronic conditions. Many rely on support groups and communities with people sharing similar health conditions to help them tackle mental, physical and social challenges. Your support

people can also benefit from additional community as they encounter new responsibilities.

Stay active and nourished. Healthy habits such as regular exercise can strengthen your body, help you sleep better, support your immune system and protect your cognitive health — all of which can help fight the symptoms of chronic illness. Similarly, eating foods as recommended by your doctor or dietitian and using a meal planner like the one online at the Kidney Community Kitchen will help you

keep proper nutrition and help you effectively care for yourself.

Participate in knowledge-sharing events. Educational sessions about your condition are a great way to discover new treatments, research and advice. They also allow you to meet new people with whom you can exchange insights, stories and more. The Kidney Foundation of Canada offers multiple patient-facing webinars for this purpose and encourages anyone facing a chronic illness to engage in information sessions designed for them.

Tips to avoid renovation regret

(NC) Whether you’re the kind of person who goes into a renovation excited or filled with anxiety, you should give yourself the time to carefully think through all the important decisions you’ll have to make throughout the process. To avoid spending money on choices you’ll regret, here are some questions to ask yourself as you consider your next home update. How and when will you use the space?

Think carefully about why you want to renovate in the first place and be

realistic about how much use the room will get. How often will you use the home gym, or how much use will the kids’ playroom get?

How are you going to pay for this?

According to a recent report from insurance provider Aviva Canada, 14 per cent of those who renovated during the pandemic did it on impulse, with eight per cent saying they spent too much, and five per cent stating they have regrets. No one should have to regret their reno, but spending can easily get out of hand. Be sure to set out a budget beforehand, consider expenses and comparison shop. Having a plan and a solid idea of what you can afford is always best, even if you deviate from it during the project.

“When considering making renovations to your home, it’s always a good idea to ensure you have a plan in place,” says Phil Gibson, EVP and managing director of personal insurance at Aviva Canada. “Canadians looking to make major changes to their home should know that renovations like finishing a basement, removing structural supports or building an addition may impact their insurance coverage as they can change the home’s rebuild value. Your insurance representative can help ensure that your home is covered for its true value, giving you peace of mind should the unexpected happen.”

Does return on investment really matter to you?

Some updates are better than others for resale value and securing more equity in your home. For resale, a

fresh coat of paint is the best reno you can invest in for ROI. Updating the kitchen or bathrooms is costlier, but can add that wow-factor when trying to sell in a challenging market. On the flip side, a pool might be a fun addition but don’t count on making back your investment. In fact, some buyers might be turned off by the cost of having to operate or remove a pool. While you shouldn’t base your reno plans based on ROI alone, it’s worth considering so you go into the project with a realistic mindset.

How to choose an air purifier

(NC) As we navigate this winter’s combination of colds and flu many of us could use cleaner, fresher air to breathe indoors. In fact, according to the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, it’s recommended that room air be changed almost 5 times per hour to enhance ventilation.

One way to improve the air in your home is with good-quality air purifiers. An air purifier works by pulling stale, dirty air into the unit and forcing that air through a filter that captures microscopic pollutants. It then returns cleaner, fresher air back into the room.

When purchasing an air purifier, look for the Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) symbol on the purifier’s packaging to know the recommended room size and the clean air delivery rate. The higher the CADR number, the faster it will clean the air in that room.

High efficiency particulate air filters, known as HEPA filters, are con -

sidered the gold standard in air purification, using technology recommended by doctors. An air purifier with a HEPA filter, like Honeywell options, can filter as much as 99.97 per cent of microscopic particles from the air that passes through the filter, as small as 0.3 microns or larger.

Some air purifiers also come with carbon activated pre-filters that help trap larger particles and reduce odours and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These also help to extend the life of the HEPA filter.

There are many different types and sizes of air purifiers. To get the best results, it’s important to get an air purifier that is the right size for your room. You can find a guide for room sizes at honeywellpluggedin.ca.

Nominate an exceptional citizen for B.C.’s highest honour

Nominations are being accepted for the Order of British Columbia, the Province’s highest honour.

British Columbians who have demonstrated outstanding achievement, excellence or distinction in a field of endeavour benefiting people in the province or elsewhere are eligible for nomination. The Order of British Columbia is one way of acknowledging those British Columbians whose extraordinary contributions and achievements have benefited B.C. and beyond.

“A nomination for the Order of British Columbia celebrates the contributions of remarkable British Columbians, whose service and inspiring legacies make our province a better place,” said Janet Austin, B.C.’s lieutenant governor and chancellor of the Order of British Columbia. “I encourage you to nominate the best and brightest of British Columbians for this extraordinary honour.”

Nominations will be reviewed by an independent advisory council chaired

by the chief justice of British Columbia. Nominations must be received by the Honours and Awards Secretariat by Tuesday, April 11, 2023, to be considered for 2023.

“It’s important to celebrate and recognize individuals who are making a profound difference in the lives of British Columbians,” said Premier David Eby. “If you know someone who is deserving of the province’s highest honour, nominate them today.”

Pro tips to save on your monthly grocery bills

Inflation has got many of us feeling anxious about money recently. With the rise of the cost of living, especially in food products, we’re all looking for ways to save money and stretch our food budget. Registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator Julie Hutter has some advice for how to stay on budget and save on your next grocery bill.

Give these five tips a try: Make a shopping list and stick to it.

Not having a shopping list can result in overspending on unnecessary items and overstocking your pantry with duplicates. So, before your next grocery trip, make it a priority to write down what you need and stick to the list when shopping.

Shop the sale section and make use of coupons.

In addition to the Order of B.C., people may nominate individuals for the Province’s other honour, the Medal of Good Citizenship. The medal recognizes citizens for their exceptional service and contributions to their communities without expectation of remuneration or reward. The medal reflects their generosity, acts of selflessness and contributions to community life. Nominations for the Medal of Good Citizenship are accepted year round.

Most grocery stores have a sale section with heavily discounted items that are usually approaching their expiration date. You can make use of these items by meal-batching and freezing them for future use. Just make sure you use them up or properly prepare them before their expiration date. For non-sale items, check out the store’s coupon flyer for extra savings.

Switch to plant-based meals. It’s often much more cost- effective to cook plant-based meals rather than animal-based alternatives. Even if you switch a couple of meals a week, only to plant-based you can notice a reduction in your overall monthly spendings. If you’re stuck on finding plant-based meal ideas, browse the many recipes available online at the Kidney Community Kitchen.

Buy ingredients in bulk.

You can save a lot of money buying ingredients in bulk such as pasta, rice and flour. Remember to store these ingredients properly and use them up before their expiration date.

Choose larger meat pieces.

Opting for bigger pieces and asking the butcher to cut it up for you if needed, will stretch your food dollar. Buying a whole chicken is much more cost-effective than buying legs

or thighs only. Not only do you get more meat for your buck, but you can also use the bones to make homemade stock

Although it might feel overwhelming at first, if putting in the work to you carefully plan your meals and grocery trips, you can easily definitely make a difference in your grocery bills. Keep the above tips in mind next time you go grocery shopping and see the difference in your monthly spending!

There will at last be some forward movement after having been placed in a situation of having to stop and think since late October. It may be easier to gain agreement from others, if that is necessary. Perhaps they will have better understanding of what is important to you. A past family matter could come up again unexpectedly.

It might be good to review your plans you had for the future. Something that gives you greater independence in some way could appeal more right now, especially if you can see that there would be a lot more to handle than you first anticipated. Your priorities might need to change when it comes to how you spend your money.

Unbeknown to you, somebody could be changing their mind in a way that could affect you financially by costing you more money. You will find you can move forward this week after some blockages and hold ups that could have been affecting you since late October. Stay well and truly focussed on your own needs for now.

The Full Moon has just occurred in your sign. It could have brought some surprises where others are concerned – they could make some decisions you didn’t expect. Your priorities could undergo some significant changes you were not exactly planning earlier. Take notice of what other people might be trying to tell you.

Things you had planned to get organised have likely been held up for one reason or another. It might seem overwhelming. This could encourage you to look at making usual routines more efficient by cutting out a few unnecessary things. Don’t be afraid to let others know what is a priority to you. Don’t presume they already know.

Something you enjoyed in the past could begin to appeal to you again, especially if it involved you with a group of people. You are coming into a better position to be able to get commitments or responsibilities under better control, especially if there hasn’t been much you could do about it since late October. It will be up to you now.

A family matter that wasn’t fully settled in the past can come up again. It might be easier for you to realise now that too much is generally expected of you. There are your own future goals to consider and while you might have felt a bit stuck since late October in being able to focus properly on them, things are beginning to turn around.

Someone might have to accept that if you want to change your find about something, you will. It really doesn’t matter what was promised in the past. You might be able to see more clearly how matters would develop in the future and realise it is not something you want. You need to feel you have some control.

You could be surprised at what might surface with someone else. They could become more direct after having been difficult to ascertain since late October. Don’t be afraid to ask any questions you might have – it could actually open discussion up more than you initially expect. You have nothing to lose.

Something can become much more obvious with somebody else. This can bring up all sorts of questions on your part and you should take the opportunity to get some sort of discussion going on. Things that have interfered with keeping on track with daily routines in your life since late October will now begin to have less effect.

You can get back to something you enjoy that might have had blockages, one way or another since late October. There can still be some minor hold ups but they will pass soon enough. This is a good time to concentrate on getting a good foundation in place that you feel is more streamlined, resulting in a greater sense of balance.

You should find the energy returning that has been a bit lacking since late October to get things organised, particularly when it comes to home or family matters. You could come across somebody from the past in a social situation or one that involves you with a group of people. It might be good to reminisce about the old times.

The Patrika Auto Review: 2023 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy: This Family SUV is Impressive!

By Veeno Dewan

There are a few changes to the Hyundai’s flagship Palisade luxury orientated SUV, It has always been a high value, well performing nicely equipped family vehicle at a competitive price. New touches for 2023 include, a wider cascading grille set off by attractive new vertical LED composite lights plus a styled lower front skid plate element supporting the rugged good looks. At the rear, new vertical LED tail lamps and

smartphone connectivity (for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto). And navigation.

The Palisade has a great looking interior, with premium quality styling and materials. Opt for the top tier model’s and one gains the to die for luxurious quilted Nappa leather seats and trim. The center console has an updated “floating” design with good storage capacity. New expanded am-

in the Palisade with one touch folding second row seats, Rear second row passengers also gain built-in sun shades, and heated and cooled seat functions. In terms of cargo space, the hands-free power liftgate offers a cavernous area when the second- and third-row seats are folded.

On the road, the Palisade is impressively quiet. The eight-speed automatic shifts seamlessly and engine noise is muted thanks to the good under-hood insulation, and special sound-deadening carpets. The powertrain tuning delivers smooth linear response and impressive acceleration. Maximum Power from the V6 is 291 hp @ 6000 rpm with max Torque at 262 lb-ft @ 5200 rpm. The Palisade handles and brakes very well with no issues.

pacity of 5,000 lb, (2,268 kg), which is top of its class by a large margin. All Palisades come with a two hitch, Trailer Sway Control, pre-wiring, and a heavy-duty transmission oil cooler as standard equipment, while an autolevelling rear suspension and a Class III receiver hitch are optional.

The Palisade is very high on safety, and equipped with Hyundai’s full active safety suite, including lanekeeping assist, forward collision avoidance, plus blind spot monitoring with instrument cluster view, occupant monitoring system, and rear Safe Exit Assist system.

lower fascia skid plate details are present, while the new, 20-inch multispoke alloy wheels elegantly profile the substantial premium look.

Power is provided by an Atkinson cycle 3.8-liter V6, dual CVVT, direct-injected engine producing 291 horsepower. The transmission is an eight-speed automatic unit with a multi-plate torque converter and Hyundai’s HTRAC® four-wheeldrive fitted as standard.

The Palisade is offered in four trims — Essential ($41,399), Preferred ($46,399), Luxury ($50,599) and the new Ultimate Calligraphy ($54,899).

We tested the premium Ultimate Calligraphy trim, that arrives with: luxury quilted-leather seats and door panels as standard spec, microfibersuede headliner, premium cargo sill protection plate and perforatedleather steering wheel. It also adds features like an Ergo Motion massaging driver’s seat, video full-display rear-view mirror, and reverse parking collision-avoidance assist. There is also further multiple device connection capability, HD radio and wireless

bient lighting sets a mood in the Palisade set off by a mix of high-quality contrasting materials throughout the cabin. The Palisade offers drivers the ability to start the vehicle via remote key fob or via the Blue Link app.

The Palisade Calligraphy has a comprehensive dash with a 12.3inch touchscreen, Also included is a 12-speaker, Harman/Kardon Surround Sound system, and a head-up display, Voice Activating System, Keyless Entry, Keyless Start, heated steering Wheel, and Powered Heated seats, and 3-zone Climate Control. The rear second row gains separate captain’s heated, and ventilated seats.

Overall, the Palisade has wide supportive seats, and a spacious and comfortable front and rear cabin with lots of storage nooks and bins for those long family trips. You also gain multiple USB plugs (seven in total) plus a wireless charge pad up front in the top trim. Sixteen cupholders, in the eight-seater variants mean everyone’s needs are taken care of.

Access to the small adult or kids sized third-row seats is much easier

Drivers can tune the Palisade by choosing different driving modes, via a dial that can select Normal, Comfort and a firmer Sport mode, plus Eco and a “Smart” setting that automatically adapt to your driving style. There

I just have to recommend the Palisade very highly. Even the base model is very well equipped and superb value. Quality is high, and the cabin is brilliant in execution. Downsides are few, the V6 can be thirsty and there is no Hybrid or ALL- electric version…as yet. However, with a versatile roomy interior layout and the best towing capacity in its class, the Palisade is one heck of a good

are also “terrain” settings, for Snow, Mud, and Sand –selected via a rotary knob that adjusts the AWD system’s parameters.

You are in serious good luck if you tow a boat or trailer, the Palisade offers an excellent standard towing ca-

buy for any active family. Highly recommended.
