Sports

Our U16 athletes recently returned from competing in the provincial championships, which included six days of rac-ing at the Purden Ski Village just outside of Prince George.

Red Mountain Racer Soleil Patterson stole the stage with three golds and one silver. After being sidelined with a concus-sion for almost six weeks, Soleil came back with a vengeance and was crowned the U16 over-all provincial champion for 2014.

She has qualified to com-pete at Whistler Cup where she will take on athletes from across Canada and around the world.

Even though there is one more week of training for Nancy Greene Ski League ath-letes, the racing wrapped up this past weekend with the sea-son finale on stellar snow con-ditions at Salmo. Red Mountain

Racers had solid performances and a great time skiing on a very snowy day.

Nine-year-old Chase Eagleton stood on the podium twice in the U10 category with a bronze in the slalom and win-ning the GS.

Radek Krampl took bronze in the U12 GS, and Bella Vockeroth Fisher also came home with a bronze. With a free hot dog and a medal around their necks, it was a great way to end the season.

The U14 athletes traveled to the BC Games to compete in the giant slalom, slalom and skicross events held at Hemlock Ski Resort.

Unfortunately, weather pre-vented the U14 men from com-peting in all but one event.

While all of the athletes had solid results Kaysa Panke and Sammie Gaul brought home the hardware. Kaysa brought home a bronze medal in slalom and a silver medal in giant sla-lom. Sammie came home with

a silver in the ski cross event. March will be a busy month

for all Red Mountain Racers. The FIS racers are currently in Kimberley for a speed camp followed by four days of rac-ing.

The U12 racers depart for the Interzone Championships in Big White March 8-9. The U14 Provincial Championships take place in Sun Peaks March 13-16 and the U16 CAN AM Westerns take place at APEX March 17-23.

Plans are under way for a Nancy Greene mini Ski Camp over spring break and there are rumours of a race-your-parent day to wrap up the event.

Stay tuned to redmountain-racers.com for more informa-tion.

The race season continues for the older racers right into the second week of April. It continues to be an action packed season and we wish the athletes the very best in their upcoming events.

Verdant timber: The naming of Greenwood

Eighty-� rst in an alphabetical series on West Kootenay/Bound-ary place names

� ere are two theories about how Greenwood got its name. One says it’s a combination of the green wooded hillside and surname of townsite founder Robert Wood (1841-1921); the other says it’s a� er a Denver suburb.

It may be a bit of both: Wood named the town, but based it on an existing mining camp in the area, � rst mentioned in a Victoria Daily Colonist item of January 21, 1894 reprinted from the Vernon News: “It is reported that Eastern capital-ists are negotiating for the … Knob Hill and Ironsides [mining claims] in Greenwood Camp.”

Greenwood Camp later became the city of Phoenix. � e 2001 Boundary Visitors Guide said “Greenwood Camp and nearby Deadwood Camp were aptly named to distinguish one another: Green-wood was known for its green wood, Deadwood for its dead wood as a result of a � re.”

Greenwood, the city, was � rst mentioned in the Colonist of Oc-tober 13, 1895, also reprinted from the Vernon News: “Messrs. Robert and Hugh Wood, of Armstrong, came up on � ursday’s boat last week from a prolonged trip through the Southern Okanagan and Kettle River districts ... Besides becoming interested in several mining claims, they purchased a pre-emption about two miles above Boundary Falls, at the junction of several roads leading to important camps. � e proprietors think that a more favorable location for a thriving town is not to be found in the lower country. It will be known as Green-wood city.”

� e Woods were natives of Hall-

mand County, Ontario. Robert came to BC in 1862 as part of the Cariboo gold rush. He didn’t have much luck placer mining, however, and took up farming on the Fra-ser River. In 1882, he moved to the Okanagan, where the town of Arm-strong was founded on his ranch before he came to the Boundary.

A Greenwood post o� ce applica-tion was referred to the inspector on December 21, 1895, and a report � led January 9, 1896 noted: “� is place is a registered townsite and is already generally known by this name throughout the province.”

� e post o� ce opened March 1, with Wood as postmaster. However, it actually took until April 27 for John A. Coryell to complete the townsite survey. It was known as Greenwood City to distinguish it from Greenwood Camp until the latter was renamed Phoenix in 1899.

Postmaster K.C.B. Frith told James White of the Canadian Geo-graphic Survey in 1905 that “Green-wood is named a� er Greenwood Camp, on account of the garden trees which covered the hillsides of this camp.”

However, R.A. Brown told White in a letter the same year that “Greenwood was named a� er a mining camp in Colorado.”

� e 1962 book Custom Ser-vices in Western Canada claimed: “Greenwood was named by one of the townsite owners, C. Scott Gallo-way. He remarked when they were on a hillside overlooking the settle-ment ‘It is a nice green wood,’ and his partner Robert Wood said. ‘� at is what we will call it.’”

Unlikely. Galloway wasn’t on the scene until 1896. Wood sold him a half-interest in the townsite early the following year. Wood served as Greenwood’s � rst mayor and lived there until a few months before his death in Kerrisdale at age 80.

GREG NESTEROFFWest Kootenay Advertiser

Eighty-second in an alpha-betical series on West Koote-nay/Boundary place names

Halcyon Hot Springs, or just Halcyon, was previously known as Arrow Lake hot springs and Sanderson’s hot springs, the latter after steam-boat captain Robert Waldron Sanderson (1848-1924) who built the original spa there.

The earliest known reference is in the Nelson Tribune of August 10, 1893: “Judge A.M. Wilson of Lardo, S.S. Bailey of the Payne group of claims and Fred Richardson of Nelson have all gone to Sanderson’s hot springs on Upper Arrow lake for recuperation.”

Frederick Laing wrote in the September 1893 edition of Knox College Monthly: “The morning broke clear and after an early breakfast we pulled for Sanderson’s Hot Springs, which are 15 miles distant … Sanderson’s Hot Springs was a stopping place for four days.”

The Tribune wrote on Feb-ruary 3, 1894: “John McMil-lan, who is putting in the win-ter at Sanderson’s hot springs on Upper Arrow Lake, writes to a friend at Nelson that Bob Sanderson has his new hotel well underway …”

Beginning October 12, 1893, the Tribune included a travelers guide that mentioned “A train connecting at Rob-son with the steamer Colum-bia bound north for Fire Val-ley, Nakusp, Arrow Lake hot springs …”

A letter in the Nakusp Ledge of April 19, 1894 said: “The Ar-row Lake Hot Springs are be-coming quite famous for their medicinal properties …”

There are further referenc-es to Sanderson’s hot springs

through August 1894. The hotel opened the following month.

The first mention of the current name was from an anonymous correspondent in Revelstoke’s Kootenay Mail of November 24, 1894: “At 10 p.m. we arrived at the Halcyon Hot Springs, which is the new name given by Capt. Sander-son to his pleasure and sani-tary resort on the Upper Ar-row Lake.”

Halcyon is a fabled bird, identified with the kingfisher, that had the power to calm the wind and waves while it nested on the sea during the winter solstice, hence the term

“halcyon days.” In Greek myth, Alcyone was the daughter of Aeolus, who drowned her-self in grief at the death of her husband Ceyx. She was trans-formed into a kingfisher. As an adjective, halcyon means peaceful, tranquil, prosperous, or golden.

The Halcyon Hot Springs post office operated from 1898 to 1950.

When James White of the Canadian Geographical Sur-vey inquired about the name’s origin in 1905, he received an unsigned reply, probably from postmaster Harry McIn-tosh: “1) Stated by parties who were here many years ago that

a Scotchman called the place ‘Halcyon’ after a stream called Halcyon in Scotland. Others say it was named Halycon by the early prospectors mean-ing ‘Pleasant or blissful waters.’ Capt. Sanderson, who is still in the neighborhood, says he called it Halcyon on account of the restful surroundings and the waterfalls. 2) Capt. Sand-erson, a Scotchman, now lives near Halcyon.”

Sanderson, born in Kings-ton, Ont., had an especially diverse career before coming to West Kootenay: he studied mechanical engineering and medicine, ran a music store, supervised logging crews in

Minnesota, sailed on the Mis-sissippi and got malaria.

When the Canadian Pacific Railway was built across Can-ada, he got a job supervising bridge construction. By 1888, he was captain of a small cat-amaran on the Arrow Lakes called the Despatch and two years later became a partner in the Columbia and Kootenay Steam Navigation Co.

Sanderson died at Pings-ton at age 76 and was buried at Halcyon. His hotel went through several owners before it burned in 1955, taking the life of its last proprietor, Dr. Frederick Burnham. The cur-rent resort opened in 1999.

2014 car year in reviewIt’s hard to believe that 2014 is over. Where did it go? At a time when we tend to reflect on what we’ve done, what we can do better and what was awesome, that brings me to my personal Car Year in Review.It takes a special vehicle or experience to stick in my memory. Not to say that short-term memory loss is a problem but with constant streams of information bombarding my brain, it’s not hard to forget where I was and what I was testing a week ago!Though this is a review of wheels past, because we often test vehicles well ahead of their full production this also points to what people will be driving in 2015.Let’s start small because the micro cars might be miniscule in price, but aren’t about to disappoint.

Nissan Micra: MSRP Range, $9,998-$15,748For under $10K, this pint-sized vehicle can be yours. But just because it’s inexpensive doesn’t mean it’s cheap. And it’s a blast to drive. Sure, 109 horsepower won’t get you where you need to go in a flash, but that’s not the point of this car. Besides, for basic transportation, it has the goods.

Ford Fiesta 1.0L, $15,999 + $1,500 for the 1.0L option; for an MSRP of $17,499Ford’s smallest engine available here in Canada sure packs a lot of punch. And considering it only weighs 98 kg when assembled, this 1.0L, 3-cylinder power-plant is pretty impressive. If you opt for this bite-sized engine, you’ll be getting 123 horsepower and 125 lb-ft of torque (148 lb-ft with the overboost). The Fiesta was designed and engineered in Europe so it isn’t bad to look at either.

Subaru WRX STI: MSRP $37,995-$44,995The all-new 2015 Subaru WRX STI is an incredible car within its own right. It has a cult following and has the street cred to back it up. And just when you think you’re getting the hang of putting it around the Buttonwillow Raceway in California, you let Tommi

Mäkinen take you for a spin. Gosh, it’s like he could drive ten times faster, smoother and more confidently in his sleep. Heck, he had one arm on the windowsill when he wasn’t shifting or going into a tight corner. Moral of the story: the car makes you feel like a hero even if you can’t drive like Tommi. And what a cool experience.

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat: MSRP $63,495 (but the new 2015 Challenger SXT starts at an MSRP of $28,495)

The name says it all. Put “Hell” in something and you’re bound to have a helluva good time, right? Especially when you have 707 horsepower at your disposal. But to say I wasn’t apprehensive to take this beast on the track at Portland International Raceway would be a lie. And the reason is, American muscle cars haven’t always been the pinnacle of exceptional handling dynamics. Sure, it has a lot of horses, but will it get me through the corner with minimal body roll? Or will the steering have enough feel that I won’t be constantly inputting actions?In this case? Hell(cat) yes. I was blown away as to how well this car drove, not just on the track, but on the street, too. Disclaimer: if you need to get anywhere quickly, this isn’t the car for you. People will talk your ear off about it if you give them an opportunity.

Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC: MSRP $37,200 (AMG version is $50,500) Another vehicle that shone brightly is Mer-cedes-Benz’s GLA. The luxury compact crossover starts at under $40K but does so many things well. It has a hatchback, great styling and the fuel economy is quite good, too. I wouldn’t even need the AMG version to keep me happy. It’s just a stellar vehicle.

MINI Cooper S: MSRP starts at $25,490Perhaps the biggest disappointment this year comes in the shape of the MINI Cooper S. I’ve loved these cars for so long, but perhaps electronics have ruined it for me. Yes, it’s much more competent and has some great features, but I miss the days of the super-charged version. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a super fun car to drive, but the downshift rev matching in the Cooper S with the manual transmission was not amazing. It was harsh and jerky. I also feel it lost a little bit of personality along its way to adulthood. I’ll forever love them, quirks and all.

Honda Fit: MSRP range $14,495-$21,295The Fit is on my list because I think it is just such a fabulous little car. The Magic Seats really are magic, but the new touchscreen is a huge deterrent. I strongly dislike it. I like buttons. I don’t mind if there are a few to complement the screen but I feel it takes my eyes off the road for too long, even if I’m familiar with the system.

Volvo V60 T6: MSRP $51,200-$66,895Long live the Swedish wagons. They can do very little wrong in my books. They’re just fantastic.

diesel hasn’t been more than gas. When gas was low it was lower.”

That’s historically true.But early 2009 – when diesel was 85 cents

a litre and gas was nearly $1 – is the last time diesel drivers enjoyed big savings.

The price gap closed and since 2012 diesel has cost a few cents a litre more than gas most of the time, according to statistics maintained by petroleum industry analysts MJ Ervin and Associates.

For the last three years, diesel has been stuck between $1.30 and $1.50 in Vancouver, costing a few cents more than regular gas for most of that time.

Jason Parent, vice-president of consulting at MJ Ervin, says the reason for the disparity is diesel and gasoline are two very different com-modities that don’t move together in lockstep.

“They each have their own supply and de-mand fundamentals and they can move in dif-ferent directions,” he said.

Unlike gasoline, which jumps in price to-wards summer as more drivers hit the road, diesel tends to rise in the winter.

The reason, Parent said, is that diesel is vir-tually identical to heating oil, which is in high demand to heat homes in the winter.

“In the winter season when it gets colder, demand for heating oil spikes and that causes a demand pull on both heating oil prices and diesel prices.”

The drop in crude oil prices has put down-ward pressure on diesel, he said, but that has been largely offset by the increase in winter de-mand – much to the irritation of diesel users.

“The guys who use diesel are all wondering why they’re not seeing the same benefit as ev-eryone else.”

Whittall said he has difficulty believing Par-ent’s explanation.

He said diesel prices never seem to budge, no matter if it’s summer, winter or crude oil prices are collapsing.

“I bet you it hasn’t moved a penny up here,” he said.

WEST KOOTENAY

While regular gasoline prices have dropped significantly with the plunging price of oil, the pump price for diesel has remained stubbornly high.

According to bcgasprices.com, regular gas fell below $1 a litre at a Costco station in Prince George this week, with other prices around the B.C. Interior nearly as low. One of the best deals on diesel was $119.9 at the No Frills sta-tion in Port Alberni, with diesel prices as high as $145.9 at the Esso and Shell stations in Kiti-mat.

In Castlegar, prices are all quite even, with gas stations listing diesel at $136.9. give or take a cent.

“It shouldn’t be that high,” said John Whit-tall, a West Kelowna retiree who bought his diesel pickup for the fuel savings. “Typically,
