The West Kootenay Advertiser begins a seven-part series on child and youth mental health issues. PART THREE OF SEVEN
Which came � rst, the chicken or the egg? � e age old question is applied yet again when discussing youth substance abuse and men-tal health problems.
It’s hardly ever clear whether one sets o� another. Is marijuana making my kid overly anxious or was there already something there? Maybe not, but studies have shown teens dealing with mental issues are more likely to try drugs.
One thing that is apparent though, is that many kids will at least try alcohol or drugs. � ere are many reasons adolescents may be-come involved in taking drugs.
Some do it as a form of rebel-lion against authority. Others may be trying to � t in with a group of friends who use drugs. � ey may do it out of curiosity, because it feels good, or because it provides relief from unpleasant emotions
and makes them feel better.Despite the natures and ten-
dencies these teenagers may have to use or abuse substances, many community pillars and organiza-tions here in the Kootenays put forth their best e� ort to prevent such things from going on.
A prominent and widely suc-cessful program, Drug Abuse Re-sistance Education (DARE), sets out to do just that.
Over a 10-week period, uni-formed police o� cers educate kids in grades 5 and 6 on how to control their impulses and think critically when faced with situations involv-ing drugs or alcohol.
� e principal of Twin Rivers El-ementary in Castlegar, Doug Hick-ey, believes educating children at a young age is necessary.
“We give it to our Grade 5s be-cause we don’t have a lot of trouble with our kids taking risks here [at Twin Rivers] but it’s when they get a little older and cross the street to
the high school.”Hickey is fully aware of peer
pressure and outside in� uences that will sway kids but he’s con� -dent the DARE program can help.
“I think it’s critical for kids to know and I really want them to build relationships with police of-� cers,” the principal said, “I think it has a little more impact when it comes from them, as opposed to our teaching sta� . It’s a di� erent relationship.”
Another excellent means to keep your loved one away from harm is to stay involved. As a parent your support will mean a lot — wheth-er it seems that way or not — to a child struggling with substance problems and the mental side ef-fects that can come with it. Engage with them, be supportive, seek help together.
When looking for such help, a great place to start is KB Search-light. Searchlight is located in the top bar on kootenayfamilyplace.
org.With a handy map and direc-
tory, Searchlight is a fantastic tool for � nding all matter of informa-tion on facilities and support avail-able for mental health issues in the Kootenay.
Interior Health states that ap-proximately 74 per cent of mental health issues start in childhood and teen years, so the sooner problems are addressed, the sooner some-thing can be done. For more infor-mation visit interiorhealth.ca.
CHRIS STEDILEWest Kootenay Advertiser
When mental health issues arise among teenagers, parents of-ten wonder: Did alcohol or drugs cause this? Or did a pre-existing mental health issue cause the sub-stance use?
Substance use and mental health problems o� en go hand-in-hand. In fact, surveys show that 33 per cent of youth with a diagnosed mental health condition also have a substance use issue. � e rates are even higher among those with a diagnosed substance use condition (such as dependence on alcohol or addiction to drugs), with anywhere from 60 to 80 per cent found to have an underlying mental health condition.
When mental illness and sub-
stance use show up together it is called a “concurrent disorder” and it is particularly challenging to treat because both issues must be explored and treated at the same time. Sometimes the two are very closely entwined; sometimes they just exist together.
Why do the two issues so o� en occur together? One reason is that the risk factors underlying both the mental health condition and the substance use issue are similar and may include a genetic predisposi-tion, family history or any of a se-ries of common life stressors such as a past experience of loss, trauma, abuse or poor attachment; a di� -cult or unstable family or living situation; limited supportive adults in their life; chronic stress; learning disabilities or poor school perfor-mance issues; poverty and neglect.
Sometimes the substance use itself can actually trigger mental health concerns like depression, paranoia or hallucinations that may clear up once the substance use is stopped.
Another reason is self-medica-tion. Sometimes a teenager begins to use substances because he or she � nds it provides temporary relief from uncomfortable or discon-certing symptoms. � ey may feel using the substance helps relieve anxiety, tension or depression. For a time it reduces psychological or physical su� ering or makes them
feel better. When self-medication is occurring, there is a greater risk of long-term dependence because the youth truly feels the substance is helping them cope.
Alcohol and marijuana (or can-nabis) are the substances most used by BC teenagers. We now know that adolescent brains, particularly the critical frontal lobes, are not completely developed until about age 25. Youth brains are not just immature versions of adult brains, they also appear to be more vulner-able to substance use in ways that adult brains are not. It seems that the younger the start, the higher the risk. � e older youth are when they started using alcohol or mari-juana, the less likely they are to be current users or to engage in risky behaviours such as mixing di� er-ent types of alcohol, drinking at high risk levels, using drugs such as amphetamines or crystal meth, or to have injected drugs. Fortunately, results from the 2013 Adolescent Health Survey found that more BC students are waiting to try alcohol and/or cannabis until a� er they are at least 15 years of age or older.
But the 2013 survey also found that 75 per cent of 16 to 18 years had tried alcohol and 46 per cent had tried marijuana. While most youth do not develop long-term addictions or mental health issues, substance use alone comes with signi� cant risks to their health
and wellness. Binge drinking, al-cohol poisoning, driving while intoxicated, unprotected sex, and injuries are all risks that arise from substance use, independent of any mental health concerns.
Protective factors against us-ing either drugs or alcohol in-clude good supervision from car-ing adults, strong connections to school, a positive peer group, involvement in extracurricular ac-tivities, and positive self-esteem and attitudes.
In recent years, concerns have been raised about the role heavy marijuana use can have in the on-set of psychosis (hallucinations and delusions) and even schizophrenia. In the 2002 Dunedin study (UK) researchers found that cannabis use in adolescence signi� cantly increased the odds of developing schizophrenia in adulthood, espe-cially in psychologically vulnerable individuals who had used the drug by age 15. More research on this link will be forthcoming, but we do know that stopping cannabis use is the � rst essential step to getting the psychosis and schizophrenia under control.
If you suspect that drugs or al-cohol may be a problem with your child and may be contributing to a mental health problem, see your family doctor. � e doctor may de-cide to refer you to the Child and Youth Mental Health Services in
your community or to the Provin-cial Youth Concurrent Disorders Program at BC Children’s Hospital. Other resources include: the BC Alcohol & Drug Information & Re-ferral Service at 1-800-663-1441. For more information about con-current disorders see: mindcheck.ca, camh.ca; kelthymentalhealth.ca
And talk to your children from early ages about the importance of avoiding the use of any substances to protect their brain health. Dr. Carol-Ann Saari, medical director of the BC Youth Concurrent Dis-order Clinic at BC Children’s Hos-pital notes: “� e longer youth can let their brains develop without ex-posure to drugs, the healthier their brains will be.”
Dr. David Smith is an adolescent and adult psychiatrist and the medi-cal director of the Okanagan Psychi-atric services for Interior Health. � is series of columns on common child and youth mental health issues is a project of the Child and Youth Mental Health and Substances Use Collaborative. � e Collaborative involves multiple individuals, orga-nizations and ministries all working together to increase the number of children, youth, and their families receiving timely access to mental health services and support in the Interior Health and Vancouver Is-land regions. � e Collaborative is jointly funded by Doctors of BC and the government of BC.

Eighty-fifth in a semi-alphabetical series on West Kootenay/Boundary place names
While it’s well established how the Kootenay Lake community of Harrop got its name, it was only the last in a series of names.
The first was Sawmill Point because it was home to the first mill on the lake, established in 1889 by George Buchanan. The mill moved to Kaslo three years later, but according to his-torian Ted Affleck in Kootenay Outlet Reflections, the name Sawmill Point “clung to the site long after the whine of Buchanan’s saws was but an echo in the memory.”
In 1894, Walter W. West pre-empt-ed 160 acres of lakeshore property on what became Lot 4395, and Sawmill Point became known as West’s Land-ing. The Nelson Tribune of March 8, 1899 noted: “There was another spir-ited contest between the steamers Ko-kanee and International on Monday evening last. The boats came together in the vicinity of West’s Landing …”
In 1895, Andrew McCoy also pre-
empted 160 acres on the waterfront, Lot 5920, about a half mine down-stream from the present Harrop ferry. Affleck described him as a “typical slogging prospector” who with the help of Chinese laborers, “developed a huge cordwood lot which became of the major ‘wooding-up’ stations on the West Arm.”
When the CPR built a spur on the south shore of the lake from Five Mile Point to Procter in 1900, a siding was put in near McCoy’s property. Land developers called it Trafalgar, but it was more popularly known as Mc-Coy’s Siding, McCoy Station, or Mc-Coy’s Point, as in these examples.
Nelson Daily News, May 9, 1906: “[I]mmediately behind Hallett’s ranch at 11 Mile Point, opposite McCoy Sta-tion …”
The Ledge, September 27, 1906: “Near McCoy’s Point on Kootenay Lake, a young rancher from the east is using electricity to make his crops grow …”
The steamer landing continued to be called West’s, Sawmill Point, and also 13 Mile Point until 1907.
Harrop had myriad other names

Selkirk College will receive $315,428 to buy new trades training equipment that supports students entering in-demand oc-cupations that are critical to the economy.
The funding is part of BC’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint commitment of $185 mil-lion over three years for trades training infrastructure and equipment at public post-secondary institutions across the province.
“The new funding that Selkirk Col-lege has received will provide up-to-date trades equipment, allowing our students to reach their goals, secure high-demand employment, and serve the needs of our industry and community partners,” says Selkirk College president Angus Graeme.
The Selkirk College trades programs are located at Nelson’s Silver King campus. Examples of new trades training equip-ment include an industry-standard drill press for millwright students, a Lab Volt renewable energy trainer for electrical students and an air conditioning trainer
for heavy mechanic students.The provincial government based the
funding for new equipment on consulta-tions with educational institutions and the Industry Training Authority, as well as the most recent labour market data.
The College of the Rockies in the East Kootenay will also receive $325,274 for equipment in its trades programs.
“Our investment in trades training equipment supports a highly trained workforce,” says Advanced Education Minister Andrew Wilkinson. “Students in trades programs at College of the Rockies and Selkirk College are getting hands-on experience that employer’s need.”
BC’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint was launched in April 2014 and outlines how the province is re-engineering the education system — from Kindergarten through to post-secondary training and beyond — to make sure education and training aligns with BC jobs.
By 2022, it is estimated that there will
be one million job openings in BC and more than 78 per cent of those jobs will require some form of post-secondary ed-ucation. Projections show that 44 per cent of those jobs will be in skilled trades and technical occupations.
“Sectors critical to our economic growth — such as oil and gas, mining, and forestry — need workers to graduate job ready,” says Kootenay East MLA Bill Ben-nett. “New trades training equipment at Selkirk College and College of the Rockies gives students hands-on experience with tools currently used by these industries.”
The funding for new trades equipment builds on the 54 additional critical trades training spaces at Selkirk College and the 32 additional critical trades training spac-es at College of the Rockies announced in July.
For more information on Selkirk Col-lege industry and trades training pro-grams go to selkirk.ca/school/industry-and-trades-training.
Selkirk College students get in-demand skills with new trades training equipment
Students in the Selkirk College millwright/machinist program are amongst those who will benefit from new equipment provided through grants from the provincial government. The equipment will be operational in the coming months.

Since Ronnie Hayward le� the Kootenays in 1984, ditch-ing his day job to pursue life as an itinerant musician, he’s re-corded 15 albums and toured across Canada, North America and Europe.
He estimates he’s written over 400 pieces, ranging from bluegrass and rockabilly com-positions to jazz tunes and beatnik poetry. He’s even been inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame.
And now, a� er 30 years on the road, he’s returned to Nel-son.
“It’s nice to be back here, in the area where I grew up. I didn’t realize how much I missed it,” the 52-year-old told the Star. Having already played a few shows in the area and got-ten some airtime on local radio stations, Hayward is now plan-ning a tour of the surrounding
communities in the spring.“I’ve been playing as much
as I can since I got here. Every time you come to a new place it takes a while to establish your-self. I’ve been here since No-vember and things have been starting to pick up.”
Hayward’s lifelong passion for music was born the day a friend of his father’s gave him a rockabilly stand-up bass. He’d been playing music o� and on since learning to play rhythm guitar at age 9, but wasn’t in-terested in pursuing music full-time until the moment he � rst ran his � ngers over those strings.
“I got that in 82, 83 and I loved it. I thought ‘I’m not go-ing to do anything else’ and I haven’t since. Since the 80s I’ve just been playing every day. Haven’t had a day job since I was a teenager.”
Hayward said most of his songs center round women.
“Oddly enough they all seem to be relationship-based, either good or bad. You know how country and blues and rocka-billy is. Every song and poem I’ve written is based on some-thing that actually took place.”
Hayward has plenty of ex-perience starting over in new places. Wherever he goes, he starts a new act, whether it’s Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal or overseas.
For instance, in 2005 he put out a jazz album that was wild-ly successful, topping the chars for three months.
“It’s a miracle because none of us were jazz players. We were just making this stu� up,” he said.
A few years ago Harward went over to Europe planning on a two-month stay, and end-
ed up playing music for over a year. Many of his albums were recorded overseas.
According to him, that’s all part of the lifestyle he enjoys. And a� er getting disillusioned by city living, he’s looking for inspiration back in B.C.
“I was so sick of cities, for a long of reasons, and I’ve al-ready been getting inspiration being back in the mountains,” he said.
Hayward is collaborating with Nelson musician Craig Korth, who he originally met in Calgary.
“I’ll be doing it both ways, touring alone and with Craig. Maybe we’ll even get a snare and brushes, a drummer. But I’ll be doing solo things too.”
Hayward said it won’t be long before fans can expect a new album.
“I’ve got enough songs now to do a whole new album. Hell, I’ve got a suitcase full of songs in Calgary I haven’t shown any-one.”
Harwood’s most recent al-bum is called � e Sound of Ronnie Hayward and his Quar-tet.

TO LEARNWHAT’S
ON SALE?
According to the Harrop-Procter Cen-tennial book, when a post office application was filed for the area in 1906, the suggested name was Trafalgar. However, postal au-thorities rejected the name, as there were already post offices by that name in Nova Sco-tia and Ontario.
As a result, when the post office opened in
1907, it was called Har-rop after Ernest Harrop (1862-1950), a veteran miner who established a general store there.
Harrop came to Win-nipeg from England in 1883. The first sign of his arrival in West Koo-tenay is an item in the Nelson Miner of July 4, 1891 in which he ad-vertised a commercial building for rent in Ain-sworth. Harrop had a cigar store in Kaslo that was destroyed in the great fire of 1894 and
was burned out again in Ainsworth in 1896.
He also lived in Three Forks and Nelson be-fore buying property on Kootenay Lake in 1905 or 1906. Harrop’s daughter Winifred re-called that mail arriving via sternwheeler would be addressed care of Ernest Harrop, Harrop’s store, or simply Har-rop’s.
Harrop was the first postmaster, and when asked by James White of the Geographic Sur-
vey of Canada, he con-firmed that “Office is named after myself.”
The post office closed in 1963. Ernest Harrop sold his business in 1930 moved to Nelson, where he died and was buried.
In recent years, Har-rop has undergone an unofficial amalgamation with nearby Procter, and the two are often spoken of in the same breath as “Harrop-Procter,” even though there is another place — Sunshine Bay — in between them.

eaP U Z Z L E
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, expect to scramble at the last minute when you have to get something finished. It may elevate your blood pressure, but you’ll feel good when the task is completed.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21You have to take a stand on a highly contested matter, Taurus. There’s no way to avoid the situation, so it’s best if you just meet it head on. Others will appreciate your direct approach.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, say goodbye to a bad situation, as a better one is on the horizon. It is about time you make things work in your favor and enjoy some R&R.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, you have grown in many ways and people are trying to get used to your new persona. They see you
as a new person, and that will require an adjustment period.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, paying off a large debt may empty out your bank account, but you have to look at the benefits of the situation. No more interest payments mean more savings.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, expect to be caught off guard this week. Allow everything to run its course, and things will be back to normal before you know it.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, be resourceful and economical this week. Friv-olous spending will only leave you with a hole in your pocket and not much to show for it.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22This could be a time of profound changes in an important relationship, Scorpio. If you keep an open mind, there is no limit to the benefits that await.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, after a few bumpy spells, you may be on the road to a financial recovery. Monitor your spend-ing and continue to maintain your financial discipline.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Real estate values have been rebounding, Capricorn. If you are in the market to sell your home, now may
be your chance to do so, but make sure you accept a good offer.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Your responsibilities are at an all-time high, Aquarius. If you speak up, plenty of people will be willing to lend a hand. You just have to accept their offers to help.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, start visualizing positive outcomes and you can produce winning results. A negative attitude will only prevent success.

Kelowna’s Monster Jam driver Cam McQueen hopes his Northern Nightmare truck will give the Grave Digger bad dreams on February 28.That’s when the World Freestyle Champion will steer his Maple Leaf themed truck into a head-to-head battle at BC Place Stadium with the powerhouse of the circuit. “Vancouver is my home show, I have lots of family and friends planning to attend so I want to do well,” says the determined 36-year-old man.“We built a brand new chassis so I can go bigger in freestyle and be a much better contender in racing.”The car-crushing monster truck action featuring 12 trucks gets under way at 7 p.m. Monster Jam royalty Tom Meents, the 11-time World Champion driver of Max-D; will be in the lineup and Scarlet Bandit returns after a 12-year hiatus.Die-hard fans can enjoy the Party in the Pits pre-show experience from 2 p.m. Regular tickets range from $25 to $50 and some children’s tickets are available for $10 each at Ticketmaster. All Access Pass packages are $125 and Pit Passes $10. More info at monsterjam.com.

The full size truck market is big business for automakers and a big deal for the businesses and people who depend on them. For almost five decades, the Ford F-150 has been the best selling truck, with little chance they will squander that crown soon. In fact, Ford finished 2014 with over 126,000 F-Series sold and that set a new record. RAM was the second best-selling vehicle with more than 88,000 sold. What has been happening, over the last few years, is a strong shift from General Motors to RAM in terms of establishing the second best-selling truck brand. The rise in RAM popularity traces back to a few key changes over the last several years, from muscular styling to class-leading interiors, a refined ride, plus engine and transmission advancements. New for the RAM line is a V6 turbocharged diesel in the 1500 or half-ton segment.LooksWhat RAM has been able to do is capture buyer’s imaginations with styling. The big and bold grille is even bigger than last models but has been integrated better into the front of the truck. Depending on the trim the grille finish can be chrome, painted or with a different insert. Be-hind the grille are “active shutters” that close at higher speeds to help send the wind around the vehicle to improve aerodynamic efficiency. There is now a longer side step, which helps reduce buffeting down the side of the trucks, also to aid in fuel economy. One option that makes life easier to live with is the $1,500 air suspension
that lowers for easier entry into the RAM or loading into the bed. This system also automatically lowers at speeds over 100 km/h reducing aerodynamic drag and, yet again, improving fuel econo-my. The opposite is true, at lower speeds and for off-road duties; the air suspension can be raised for better ground clearance. InsideToday’s modern truck is no longer just a vehicle for work; the level of refinement and luxury found in today’s rigs is something to behold. My test unit RAM 1500 LaRAMie Quad Cab 4X4 had a starting price of $51,595 but with a long list of extras from keyless entry and start, to full leather
seats, power moon roof and the larger 8.4-inch uConnect screen, the total came to just over $63,000. Not cheap, but man there is a lot of truck here. The interior is rich looking and feels first rate, from the buttons to the switches and materials covering the cabin. And the room is impressive for all passengers, front and back. In addition to the optional 8.4-inch Uconnect communications and entertainment screen, there is a standard large 7-inch screen behind the steering wheel for fully customizable instant information readouts. DriveThe biggest change for RAM includes the first diesel engine found in a light duty 1500 pickup truck. This is an Italian designed engine that has been used extensively in Europe in Jeep prod-
ucts like the Grand Cherokee. With 420 lb.-ft. or torque, this new “EcoDiesel” has the same out-put as Ford’s Ecoboost but not the same towing capacity. Rated at 9200 lbs. this truck will be perfect for buyers who want impressive fuel economy and good towing capacity; a balance of usability and thriftiness. This engine has not been rated yet for fuel economy but, thanks to a standard 8-speed automatic transmission, the new EcoDiesel is going to get better numbers than the already class-leading gasoline V6 RAM. Having driven both the Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel and this RAM, I find the gearing and attitude of the RAM much more dynamic and actually inspiring to drive. In real world driving situations, this big luxurious truck can actually return fuel economy of 10L/100km without babying the engine.
VerdictRAM has seen huge sales growth over the last few years due to constant improvements instead of waiting years to update its rigs. It
started with dynamic exterior design, followed by class leading interior, then an 8-speed automatic and now
a Diesel. There is even an off-road ready RAM, just shown in Detroit, due to arrive called the Rebel. The RAM EcoDiesel has been selling very well and Chrysler claims they will put this truck up against the new aluminum F-150 for top dog in the fuel economy race. Good times to be looking for a truck.

Anyone who has purchased a car has faced an overwhelm-ing list of features on the win-dow sticker. Over the years, there have been some imaginative fea-tures offered right from the dealership. Here are five of the more ‘interesting” ex-amples. Lightning Rods Shifter – 1984 Oldsmobile Hurst: The perfect option for any automotive enthusiast who just can’t get
enough levers, the Lightning Rods shifter walks a very strange line between a typi-cal automatic and a full ratch-et shifter. As goofy as it may look, Lightning Rods have no problem putting the power to the ground.Swivel Seats – 1975 Chevro-let Laguna S3: It’s a wonder that more cars weren’t of-fered with swivelling seats, seeing as those troublesome stationary seats are always such a bother to get in and
out of. While the swivel seat was designed for easy egress, an added benefit is that your vinyl won’t wear out nearly as quickly.
Highway Hi-Fi record player – 1957 Chrysler 300: The Highway Hi-Fi did its best to stop the needle scratching your precious 45s. Not only is there a generous amount of suspension built into the re-cord player, but the pressure placed on the needle was known to prematurely wear records out.Rim Blow Steering Wheel – 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429: In a time before road rage, Ford, AMC, Chrysler,
and GM all thought it would be much better to get rid of the pesky horn button and just have drivers squeeze the wheel. One major defect of the Rim Blow was shrink-age, which caused the horn to sound all the time!‘His-and-Hers’ Shifter (Hurst Dual/Gate) – 1969 Oldsmo-bile Hurst 442: One of the more sexist options to be offered on a car (to date), the Hurst Dual/Gate shifter was branded as the “His and Hers” shifter. The theory be-hind the ‘his-and-hers’ shifter was women wouldn’t want to be bothered by changing gears while driving! This op-tion allowed the driver to kick the stick over and access all three gears “manually.”Matt Lewis writes for Hagerty Insurance.

The 2015 Range Rover Evoque is like a finally tai-lored suit that fits comfort-ably in any situation.Looks:It is one of the nicest cross-overs out there, available in a 5-door, or a 3-door coupe. The Evoque has a streamlined body and a beautiful roof line that ta-pers towards the back. The front end takes its styling cues from its big brother the Range Rover.
In The Cab:A well-appointed inte-rior featuring leather seats, driver adjustment including recline, height, lumbar sup-port and memory, 60/40 split rear with centre head restraint, oxford leather wrapped steering wheel with audio controls. Central 8-inch touch screen display in the central hub for fea-tures such as audio, video, phone and navigation. It also provides a screen for the backup camera and a unique 360fdegree, real time view of the surround-ing area via the five dis-creetly placed cameras. All controls and knobs found on the centre dash area are well placed and easy to op-erate by the driver without being distracted. The sound system is provided by Me-ridian and features a 380-watt 11-speaker system that is standard and an op-
tional 825-watt, 17-speaker system. The auto dimming rear view mirror is a nice feature and accent lighting around the centre console, footwell, glove box, and load compartment are a nice touch. A tire pressure monitoring system moni-tors your air pressure. My tester was the 3-door coupe with lots of room inside although I did find it a bit difficult getting in and out of the back seats. With the position of the rear seats, I didn’t notice the lower roof angle being an problem. Leg room was at a bit of a premium, but it is the case in most coupes.Safety first:A high level of safety fea-tures are provided includ-ing driver and passenger airbags, knee airbags, side curtain and thorax airbags. Four wheel disc brakes, traction control and stabil-ity control are all standard equipment.Roadworthy:I found the push button terrain response selection buttons are in an area that can easily be pushed by ac-cident. Place your hand the wrong way on the centre console and you find your-self in off-road mode. Once the terrain setting has been chosen (purposefully), the Range Rover takes on a completely new personality. Hill control graphics show up on the instrument panel and it can crawl like a snake down any steep terrain. If only they added height ad-justment then you could re-ally go four-wheeling.Power:The Evoque power plant is a turbo charged 2.0-litre Si4 direct injection engine that produces 240 horsepower and can achieve 0-100 km in 7.1 seconds. The engine is mated with a six speed automatic transmission with rally style paddle shift
controls mounted on the steering wheel. The engine provides plenty of power and if not for the turbo lag, it would be amazingly quick at passing. I always get a kick from the Range Rover shifters. When the vehicle starts up the rotary gear-shift rises up so you can turn it to select the position you require.Verdict:The Evoque is a very well thought out vehicle. I love the shape and stance. It is not just all show and no go but a fun vehicle to drive.

The Dodge Journey is a tall fi ve-door family oriented wagon/utility vehicle with seating for fi ve or seven, with a third row “fl exible” seating package.The hugely popular Journey, introduced for the 2009 model year, offers outstand-ing value. Journey is based on a stretched version of a Dodge mid-sized sedan platform and is available in all-wheel-drive editions. The “fl exible” seating package includes a 50/50 split third-row seat plus a 60/40 split, tilt and slide second row seat and three-zone air conditioning. This Journey can quickly adapt (without taking seats out) into a variety of passenger seating and/or cargo confi gurations. Family-friendly features included option-al pop-up booster seats for children. Oth-er neat features available in a Journey in-cluded under-fl oor removable cargo bins, extra storage under the front passenger seat cushion and a handy rechargeable LED fl ashlight.The original two engines choices were a 2.4-litre four-cylinder in a base SE trim and a 3.5-litre V6 came in SXT and R/T trim levels. The 2.4-litre engine is cou-pled with a four-speed automatic trans-axle and is the front-drive (only) version. Fuel economy is 11.0 L/100 km in the city and 8.0 L/100 km on the highway.
Changes in 2010 were relatively minor but did include standard active head restraints on the front seats. The base SE trim also came with a Canada Value Package that added keyless remote, il-luminated entry and “Stain Repel” cloth seats.The 2011 Journey came with a bunch of upgrades and a new V6 engine. The updates included new front and rear fas-cias on the outside and more soft touch materials throughout the interior. It also got new wheels plus changes to the sus-pension and steering. The new V6 was a smoother and more powerful Pentastar 3.6-litre and it comes with a six-speed automatic that has a manual shift mode feature. It’s also only available with the all-wheel drive addi-tions of Journey. No signifi cant changes were made to the 2012 or 2013 model year editions of Journey. . Journey provides a comfortable ride on a highway and a quiet passenger cabin, making it worthy of its name. While Journey gets excellent crash safety rat-ings, reliability certainly could be better. Electrical and brake issues are common and the recall list is a lengthy one. That said, the Dodge Journey is still uun-beatable bang-for-the-buck. Offering good cargo and people space and great kid-friendly features, it’s easy to see why
the Dodge Journey is a popular purchase with young families. Price Check: 2009 - 2013 Dodge Journey (February 2015)Year Edition Expect to Pay Today2009 SE 2.4L $8,000 to $11,0002010 SE 2.4L $10,000 to $13,0002011 SE 2.4L $12,000 to $15,0002012 SE Plus 2.4L $14,000 to $17,0002013 SE Plus 2.4L $16,000 to $19,000Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history. A
complete mechanical check should al-ways be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase. Safety Recalls: 2010 to 2013 Dodge Jour-ney:2009: On certain vehicles equipped with a 3.5L engine, the engine wiring harness may get damaged, due to contact the left transaxle mount, could result in an engine compartment fi re. Dealers will reposition engine wiring harness and re-pair as necessary.
2009: A broken solder joint on the print-ed circuit board of the Power Control Module (PCM) may affect fuel pump relay performance and stall the engine. Dealers will replace the PCM.2009: An unused electrical connector can become corroded and cause a short cir-cuit. Dealers will re-route and stow the unused connector, and remove the fuse to disable the circuit.

Montebello, Quebec – The 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek, Forester and Outback have no problem showing the snow who is the boss.They don’t even break a sweat if you’re commuting on surfaces that yield minimal traction or when putting the Subaru Sym-metrical AWD system through its paces on a winter off-road course.Let’s take a moment to talk about what make’s Subaru’s system so potent in the snow or on slippery surfaces. To start, Subaru designed its AWD sys-tem for perfect balance. The boxer engine, transmission, and differentials create a sym-metrical layout left to right. This increases stability in every situation, as there is less weight transfer from side to side.Also, unlike the competitors, each vehicle is designed from the ground up to have a sym-metrical AWD system as a
standard feature. This makes the chassis and powertrain a harmonious match. Other com-petitors often start with a 2WD system and add AWD to the same chassis. It’s that kind of symmetry and engineering that instills confi-dence in Subaru owners.More than 96 percent of Suba-ru vehicles sold in the last 10 years are still on the road today.The symmetry allows for pre-dictable and stable power de-livery to each wheel, which was apparent in my test drive. With the traction control (VDC) on, you might experience a little bit of slippage if you go into a cor-ner too hot.But within moments, you’ll have your back end back where it should be. Yes, it’s a little bit of a killjoy if you’re honing your skills to qualify for a driver’s seat in WRC, but for 99.9 per-cent of the owners, it’s a saving grace. Subaru’s active systems do their best to keep the driver and its passengers feeling relaxed and
calm behind the wheel. Such was the case as the tempera-tures in Quebec plummeted below -15C. The frigid yet abundantly sunny day seemed
like a perfect pair for taking the aforementioned Subarus for a test.Starting the day with the XV Crosstrek, which has an MSRP
of $24,995, was a treat. This light-on-its-feet crossover has charm and character. Even with the available CVT transmis-sion, it’s pleasant to drive and
has the ingredients to make it a desirable all-season kind of vehicle.

Next came the Forester. At a starting MSRP of $25,995, this five-passenger Subaru has some great qualities. Its high seating position elevates the driver to have a great field of vision and the roomy interior and excellent cargo capacity off 974L (seats up), or 2,115 L (seats down) sure fits a lot of stuff inside.Lastly, and my favourite of the batch, was the all-new 2015 Outback ($27,995.)Maybe it’s because I love wag-ons, or the fact that there’s an
impressive 1,005 litres of cargo space behind the rear seats (2,075L with them folded), or that you can get it with a 6-speed manual, it’s a very well-balanced vehicle. Not to men-tion comfortable and quiet too.
Both the Forester and Outback have a little something extra, too. The CVT equipped models feature X-Mode, a system that further helps you gain more traction in low traction environ-ments, and comes with hill de-scent control.All of these great cars come with 220 mm of ground clearance,
meaning you can save your money on a snow shovel! Okay, that’s not entirely true, but that ground clearance allows you to trek deeper off the beaten path if that’s what you’re into. Throughout the day’s activities, whether it was engaging the X-Mode system while stopped in the middle of a snowy incline, or allowing the hill descent control to work its magic descending that same snowy mound, one thing is certain: Subaru builds a strong product.One might argue that they’re a little behind when it comes to styling and aesthetics. But not
everyone needs the prettiest SUV on the market or one that is the most tech-savvy when it comes to infotainment.The pillars on which these cars
are built are the fundamental blocks that allow their owners to put their faith in them and have a blast while doing it.

B10 Thursday, February 12, 2015 West Kootenay Advertiser
For as long as Alexandra Straub recalls, she has loved cars. She can even remember thinking at the age of six, “Only ten more years until I can get my licence!”Born in Zurich, Switzerland to Hungarian parents, she moved to Canada when she was just a baby.Spending her summers in Budapest with her grandparents helped cultivate a strong liking for motorsports. Alexandra can remember watching F1 races with her grandfather, and still does even when she goes to visit.Over a decade ago, Alexandra started her career in the automotive industry. Since then, she has had countless stories and photos published. You can fi nd her work online, in newspapers, magazines and on television. She has hosted “Shifting Gears Automotive TV” and regularly makes appearances on various shows talking about, you guessed it, all things automotive.When she’s not testing out the latest in vehicular goodness, you’ll either fi nd her on a motorcycle (she tests and writes about those, too), on a track or traveling the world.While she considers her “job” her hobby, Alexandra enjoys other activities that don’t necessarily involve wheels, engines or motors. Growing up on the North Shore of Vancouver, she loves the mountains and the ocean. An avid snowboarder and a wannabe surfer, count on her enjoying the outdoors when she has the chance. And to really help her relax, she scrapbooks.Share your thoughts and requests with Alexandra [email protected]

For as long as Alexandra Straub recalls, I’ve been writing about cars for over 25 years and I’m a long-term member of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC). My auto background is mainly in the service side of the industry as I’ve always had a keen interest in knowing how things work. Especially those oily, greasy parts that make the wheels go around. My fi rst car was an early sixties Triumph Herald Coupe (web example photo) that was traded-in to a dealership where I worked as an apprentice auto mechanic, back in Dublin, Ireland. It spent more time off the road, being repaired, than on the road, during my time as its owner. A Herald had the same chassis and a similar powertrain as the much nicer looking Triumph Spitfi re, which was sold in North America.At the BC Automobile Association I initially worked as a mobile Vehicle Inspector in the Vehicle Inspection Service. The vehicle was an AMC Gremlin and it was painted to look like a cut-away or skeleton view of the car’s mechanical bits. A small car with a big gas-guzzling engine, a Gremlin was an odd choice of vehicle for that job and the paint job just added to its weirdness, yet I grew to like it. Currently I enjoy serving on the AJAC Technology Awards panel and have also been involved in the promotion of trade skills training for young people in BC. When time permits, I still like to get my hands dirty and give my son a helping hand with, his pride and joy, a 1966 Ford Thunderbird [email protected]

Two into one makes Acura TLXAcura has replaced two cars in its fleet with just one – gone are the TLX and TL, replaced by the TLX. This car is offered with a wide array of engine and transmission choices in front wheel drive (FWD) or all wheel drive (AWD). The price starts at $34,990 and runs up to $49,642, which means it will ap-peal to a wide range of buyers. The TLX is based on the Honda Accord and comes with a base 4-cylinder engine with FWD and all-wheel steering. This model also comes with an all-new 8-speed duel clutch automatic. Then the V6 equipped cars can be ordered with FWD and all wheel steering or AWD. This is where it gets confusing; the AWD cars come with a different, 9-speed automatic.
LooksTo be honest, taking two cars and mashing them into one is beyond confusion. The length of the TLX is shorter than both the older cars but the wheel-base is longer than the TLX and the same as the old TL. Acura has stuck with the shield grille design that has received much criticism over the years. However, it toned down the blunt and edgy look of the grille and incorporated tasty looking duel LED headlamps, yet another signature of the brand. The front and rear overhangs are nice and tight making this car look compact and athletic. Wheel sizes range from 17-inches to 18-inches depend-ing on the trim level. All models come with a rear view camera and higher trim levels are fitted with a cross-traffic monitoring system that alerts the driver of incoming traffic when backing out of a
parking spot. InsideAcura and Honda are moving towards a two-screen centre console for radio and entertainment information and navigation and backup camera capabilities. This looks first rate but it can take a while to master the quirks of the system. The rest of the cabin is covered in soft-touch materials, first rate fit and finish and a sporty design that is eye catching. Cars equipped with the optional 9-speed transmission get a differ-ent shift controller in the between the seats. This is unique take on something that has been working perfectly well for decades. Sometimes change for change sake is not better. The rear of the TLX isn’t the biggest in the mid-size class; cars like the VW Passat dwarf the legroom in the
TLX. The base model comes with faux leather and heated front seats. A tech package is optional and it includes a heated steering wheel and heated rear seats, features that come standard on the Tech package V6 model.

Model not exactly as shown
DriveThe base engine is a 2.4L direct injec-tion 4-cylinder with 206hp and all the power goes to the front wheels though an all-new 8-speed duel clutch auto-matic. In addition FWD models of both the base 4-cylinder and V6 equipped cars gets Acura’s Precision All Wheel Steering (PAWS) system as standard equipment. This actually turns the rear wheels, ever so slightly, for slow speed maneuvering or high-speed stability. The V6 is a 290hp 3.5L unit with an optional AWD system that replaces the PAWS system. This model also gets ta different 9-speed ZF automatic that is
shared other automakers like Chrys-ler and Range Rover. This is the car I test drove and it radically changes the character of the TLX compared to the old TL AWD. The transmission wants to shift to the highest gear possible to conserve fuel but the downside is the more sedate driving experience. The more powerful 3.7L found in the TL is no longer offered. The TLX feels solid and capable but very different from the older cars it replaces. Don’t expect more of the same; this is a whole new product.VerdictCredit must go to Acura for making a new, totally different kind of car. The TLX is nothing like the cars it replaces,
which is good and bad. There is cer-tainly a lot packed into all trim levels and at a price that is attractive but sometimes change has one yearning for the good old days. The 4-cylinder cars provide a gateway into the premi-um experience but buyers might want to try the beautiful V6 equipped Honda Accord as a reference; it might actually be a better buy. The V6 cars, especially the AWD model is not nearly as re-sponsive as the old car. It doesn’t feel as solid or as performance oriented as the last car and the 9-speed automatic can feel very busy at times. The biggest problem will be telling customers what this car is. There are so many different engine, transmission and packages
that it could confuse the customer. [email protected] LowdownPower: 2.4L 4-cylinder with 209hp or
