HOPEWELL — After
nearly 30 months in purgatory, Ambulance Rescue 33 recently earned
back the license it lost in
September 2012. What
it hasn’t yet earned back,
however, is the ability to
answer rescue calls in the
small Marshall County
village of Hopewell, currently the only client it is
contracted to serve.
“We don’t have the capacity to dispatch Rescue
33,” Marshall County
Sheriff Rob Russell said
last week. “Not even sure
if it is possible.”
Three weeks ago, Rescue 33 officials teased
their return to active
duty in an announcement of a news conference to be held three
days later. A posting on
the village of Hopewell’s
website announced that
Rescue 33 would operate
as the village’s ambulance provider — with a
paramedic-staffed ambulance stationed 24 hours
a day, seven days a week
outside Village Hall —
beginning Sunday, Feb.
1.
That hasn’t happened
yet. The news conference
was canceled for unspecified reasons, and Rescue
33 has not yet begun
its service in Hopewell,
population 400. Chris
Cassidy, the attorney for
Rescue 33, said that the
latest delay is for technological reasons and
because the city of Chillicothe is undermining its
efforts to resume service
by refusing to handle its
Ambulance Rescue 33 is contracted to serve the village of Hopewell — its only client — with a paramedicstaffed ambulance stationed 24 hours a day, seven days a week outside Village Hall. But the ambulance service
cannot be dispatched because of technological reasons. david zalanik/gatehouse media illinois
911 calls.
“All of the roadblocks
to operating out of
Hopewell are coming
from the city of Chillicothe,” Cassidy said.
“That’s all I can really say
right now.”
John Myers is the fire
chief of the Chillicothe
and Chillicothe Community fire departments, both emergency
responders that worked
side-by-side for more
than four decades with
Rescue 33 before it lost
its license. When Peoria
Area Emergency Medical
Services turned Rescue
33’s probation period
into a permanent suspension in September
2012, ambulance service
in the area was given to
Peoria-based Advanced
Medical Transport of
Central Illinois. New dispatch protocols were established in the absence
of Rescue 33. And now,
despite the recertification of Rescue 33, those
protocols remain in effect, Myers said.
“A 911 request for
an ambulance from
Hopewell goes to Marshall County dispatch,”
Myers said recently.
“Protocol then sends
information on the call
to Chillicothe, which dispatches its own engine as
a first responder and an
AMT ambulance. That
hasn’t changed.”
And that leaves properly licensed Rescue 33
literally outside of the
communications loop
and unable to take a call.
Cassidy said that problem could be overcome
within 30 days. Russell
was less certain of a
quick turnaround.
“(Rescue 33) would
have to buy and install
the equipment in my dispatch center. My agency
and 911 will not pay for
the cost, as we are on
budgets,” Russell said.
“(Rescue 33) will have
to get licensing for the
radio signals and more
approvals, which will
take some time if they
want that to happen. Until then, we are sticking
with our old protocol as
it is with the Chillicothe
fire district.
Rescue 33 faces more
challenges than engineering the ability to
receive emergency dispatch signals so it can
respond to calls. The ambulance company, which
has returned at the level
of advanced life support, has a roster of 34
or so workers, a mixture
of part- and full-time
employees, paramedics
and emergency medical
technicians. It plans to
fund its operations with
a mix of service fees and
continuing Rescue 33’s
tradition of successful
community fundraisers.
But currently it only
has the one customer
— Hopewell, a community that in all of
2014 made a total of six
calls requesting an AMT
ambulance, according
to AMT records. Its mutual aid agreement — a
required component of
being recertified — is
with Putnam County
Emergency Medical Services, a service with three
ambulances all stationed
in McNabb, a less-thandesirable 25 miles from
Hopewell.
“We entered an agreement with Putnam
County because it was a
requirement of the application process,” Cassidy
said. “We wanted to keep
the process moving forward.”

A new type of school
start has gotten positive
feedback from both community members and
teachers.
A two-hour delay, used
to allow road crews time
to get out and clear the
streets, has been used twice
this winter to keep school
from going past Memorial
Day in May.
This is the first time Illinois Valley Central School
District 321 has used this
type of start. Superintendent Chad Allison presented feedback on the start at
the Feb. 10 school board
meeting.
“Overall, the feedback
from our parents has been
very positive,” Allen said.
“We know that the delay is
a challenge for some of our
parents, but our focus continues to be on educating
our students. We know our
students are more engaged
with a shortened schedule
now than adding a day at
the end of the year, while
our focus continues to be
on getting our students to
and from school safely.
“The two-hour delay we
used recently allowed both
the city and townships
time to clear streets and
roads. By noon on that day,
the streets were very clear
and our students didn’t
lose a day of instruction
when they are truly engaged in February as opposed to May.”
Many of the teachers
echoed Allen’s statements
in comments given during
a survey. Out of the 116
teachers that responded
to the survey, numerous
comments noted that the
students were much more
attentive with a two-hour
delay when compared to
trying to teach in late May
due to using snow days.
“Students are engaged
more in the winter than
the spring, they check out
and behaviors are worse
in the spring,” one comment read. Another comment noted that the delay
“makes more sense than
blowing an entire day
when weather conditions
usually are fine after the
first couple of hours in the
morning.”
However, there were a
few concerns with the delay. One commenter noted
that the high school schedule is not made for a twohour delay, and another
said a short homeroom
would still be nice.
“The two-hour delay is
certainly a work in progress,” Allison said. “We
have used two this year
and learn more each time
we do it. We will certainly
review the schedules in
each building to make sure
we are getting the most
out of our time with our
students.”
Another commenter
said that “the only negative is that some parents
don’t send the students at
all on the shortened day.
However, it is likely they
would not send them after
Memorial Day either.”
Allison noted that absentees have been higher
this winter due to illnesses
that are passing through
the buildings.
In other news, the
board:
• Accepted, with regret,
the resignation of board
president Nell German effective April 1.
German has been on the
board for six years. Her
and her husband are moving out of state for a job
relocation.
• Approved a resolution

Rauner and unions struggle to find middle ground
Illinois Gov. Bruce
Rauner is putting his muscle where his mouth is,
issuing an executive order
to end “fair share” union
dues that require workers
to contribute toward collective bargaining.
Not only would he extend right-to-work rules to
Illinois public employees,
he’d seek a U.S. Supreme
Court decision declaring
fair share unconstitutional
nationally and in the private sector, as well. To
that end he has already
retained the services of a
prominent Chicago law
firm.
“An employee who is
forced to pay unfair share
dues is being forced to
fund political activity with
which they disagree,” said
Rauner. “That is a clear
violation of First Amendment rights and something that, as governor, I
am duty-bound to correct.”
Some thoughts:
First, for all of his prattling on about constitutionality, there is a question whether Rauner’s own
executive order meets the
same muster. Evidently
that occurred to him, too,
as he’s filed a preemptive
federal lawsuit seeking
to have this act declared
legal. Union leaders, of
course, think it isn’t. We
get that Rauner’s hero
is former Indiana Gov.
Mitch Daniels, who did
this same thing back in
2005, but unlike Indiana,
fair share is written into
state law, and collective
bargaining is guaranteed
by Illinois’ Constitution.
Rauner, Obama ... what is
it with these Chicagoans
and their executive orders,
like they’re kings or something?
Second, America is the
land of the free, so arguably no one should be
forced to back a cause he
or she doesn’t believe in.
Rauner says those who
wish to continue paying
dues will be unaffected;
if unions are delivering
for their members, then
arguably few will bolt from
the ranks, so union leaders need not worry. But as
a professed conservative,
Rauner also must be of
the opinion that people
shouldn’t get something
for nothing; consistency
demands that those who
choose not to support their
union should not enjoy the
benefits derived from the
collective bargaining done
on their behalf. Perhaps
the more than 6,000 state
employees Rauner cited
as having differences with
their representation can
negotiate their wages and
pensions individually.
Their employer might
pay them the same, and
they can pocket the dues
they used to pay. But the
motivation here is to lower
government and business
costs, remember? Unions
exist for a reason. There’s
a history. At some point
laborers grew weary of being told they should take
what’s given and be grateful for it. Is it by accident
that right-to-work states
tend to have lower wages
and benefits for all but the
bosses (and not necessarily higher employment)?
Would the disappearance
of collective bargaining be
good for the middle class,
as Rauner contends, or
would it put its members
totally at the mercy of
employers under whom
they have not fared well in
decades?
Third, Rauner says that
“government union bargaining and government
union activity are inextricably linked,” but Illinois
law forbids fair share dollars from going to political contributions. Does it
happen anyway? Well,
money like water tends to
find its way through the
cracks, and this is Illinois,
after all. Yet oddly, Rauner
perceives no such linkage
and no “corrupt bargain”
between corporate contributions and the legislative
process and outcomes.
Really, here in Special
Interest America? Clearly,
Rauner has chosen to see
this issue solely through a
CEO’s lens; sometimes he
sounds as if an oligarchy/
plutocracy would be just
his cup of rare-but-expensive tea. At least he’s now
dropped the pretense regarding the “union buster”
tag he sometimes rejected

Fourth, from a strategic
standpoint, maybe Rauner
sincerely believes that not
just taming but terminating the unions is critical to
righting Illinois’ fiscal ship,
but picking this fight out
of the gate is still quite the
gamble. If it’s for future
leverage, ill will can introduce an irrational element
to negotiations. To suggest
as he does that it won’t
harm his relationship with
Democratic leaders is
wishful thinking. If he gets
bogged down and accomplishes nothing as a result,
well, they’ll all be failures.
Fourth, do unions go
too far? Sure, sometimes.
A distinction should be
made here between public
sector and private sector
unions, even if Rauner has
contempt for both. If the
former have flourished,
the latter have not had
the upper hand for a long
time. Even FDR, nobody’s
conservative, was wary of
collective bargaining in
government, where the
people — taxpayers — are
the employer. Let’s face it,
most taxpayers in Illinois,
even those in private sector unions, have not been
well served by the contracts bargained and many
other decisions made by
their state government.
Conversely, do employers go too far in the
absence or weakness of
unions? Sure, sometimes.
Income inequality isn’t in
the national headlines for
no reason.
Ultimately, we have yet
to see a working pendulum that stops in the middle. Given that, and given
that greed is part of the
human condition, arguably most are best served
by competing interests
that counterbalance the
inevitable extremes of the
other. Springfield needs
shaking up, and Rauner is
doing that, but we respectfully suggest that his early
energies would be more
productively spent elsewhere.

business plan is to expand
its area of coverage. The
city of Chillicothe is in
the middle of a four-year
contract with AMT, but
the rest of Rescue 33’s old
service area that included
Hopewell and Chillicothe,
Hallock, Medina, Stuben
and LaPrairie townships is
theoretically up for grabs.
“That’s where we’re
looking to expand,” Cassidy said.
Presumably, the regional supervisory agency,
PAEMS, is aware of the
hardships and challenges
facing Rescue 33. PAEMS
and the Illinois Department of Public Health
signed off on its application to return to service.

for support of Vision
20/20, the statewide program that gives schools
four key priorities to focus
on: shared accountability,
highly-effective educators,
21st century learning and
equitable and adequate
funding.
While talking about
equitable and adequate
funding, Allison noted that
Senate Bill 1 is actually a
better fit for the district
than Vision 20/20.
“The focus of SB1 is restructuring our general
state aid formula to provide funding to students
who are identified as most
at-risk. This includes students who participate in
the National School Lunch
program. Unfortunately,
with the economic challenges in our area and
state, we have a growing
number of students who
tor, declined requests to be
interviewed. They issued
the following unattributed
comment:
“Rescue 33 has met the
requirements established
by the State of Illinois and
(have) been granted a license to operate. It is the
organization’s responsibility to continue to comply
with those requirements
and PAEMS will monitor the service, as we do
with all of our providers.
PAEMS is not in the position to discuss individual,
internal, operations plans.”
Rescue 33: By the numbers
30 — Number of
months between Rescue
33’s “permanent suspension” in 2012 and its “recertification” in January
2015.
30 — Number of days
when Rescue 33 officials
hope to be ready to respond to rescue calls in
Hopewell after another
delay.
400 — Estimated
population of Hopewell,
currently Rescue 33’s only
client for its Advanced Life
Support services.
Six — Number of calls
for ambulance service in
Hopewell for all of 2014.
25 — Number of miles
between Hopewell and
McNabb, the site of Putnam County Emergency
Medical Services, the ambulance company that is
Rescue 33’s official backup service.
22.8 — Number of miles
between Hopedale and
OSF Saint Francis Medical
Center Emergency Department, Peoria.
911 — The emergency
phone number that if
dialed by someone in
Hopewell today would
result in the response of
an ambulance from Advanced Medical Transport,
not Rescue 33.
participate in this program. We would benefit as
this population increases.
“The formula with SB1
would transfer money
from districts who have
greater local wealth to
support districts with less
local wealth and higher
at-risk populations. The
IVC District would benefit
under the SB1 formula.”
Another of the priorities, bringing in quality
educators, is also made
more difficult because of
the lack of state funding.
However, Allison noted
that the school district still
continues to attract many
quality educators from
Peoria County, Springfield
and Chicago.
“Currently, our biggest
challenge has been in the
areas of vocational education and foreign language,”
he said.
“Again, we were able to
attract teachers from other
districts to fill these positions. Unlike many dis-
tricts in the state, we have
not reached the point that
we cannot afford to pay
for experience. Our goal is
to find the best candidate
for a position and we have
been able to do that.
Overall, Allison said that
Vision 20/20 has potential
to “truly impact” Illinois
education. At IVC, the
district already addresses
many of the priorities from
the vision, such as 21st
century learning and highly-effective educators.
“Unfortunately, we don’t
need to have items added
to our already full plate because of an isolated situation that occurs in Chicago
or Springfield and the legislators decide it would be
good for all districts,” Allen
said. “We have a great district with great students
and teachers. We should
be judged on our merits,
not those in other areas of
the state.”

CLINTON — Two Grey
Ghosts are headed to
Champaign.
The Illinois Valley Central wrestling team advanced two of its seniors
to the state finals at the
University of Illinois’
State Farm Center with
first- and third-place finishes during the weekend
at the IHSA Class 1A Sectional at Clinton.
IVC senior Riley Beard
took the title bout in the
145-pound division after
defeating Gibson CityMelvin-Sibley
junior
Lane Williams by injury
default.
Beard led 8-1 in the
second period when he
put Williams in a cradle
maneuver. Williams tried
to counter the move and
dislocated his elbow in
the process.
“I thought he just made
a noise to get the move to
be stopped to get out of
it, but I looked back and
his elbow is dislocated ...
It was freaky,” said Beard
(42-1). “This win sets me
up for a really good bracket at state.”
Joining Beard is teammate Jordan Ladd. The
IVC senior took third
place in the 195-pound
bracket with a 3-minute, 33-second technical
fall over Herscher senior
Mitch Geister.
St. Joseph-Ogden junior
Wesley Kibler took first
place in the 195-pound
bracket with a 5-minute,
34-second fall over Monmouth-Roseville senior
Logan Millizer.

IVC girls finish regular season with .500 conference record
GateHouse Media Illinois
The Illinois Valley Central girls
basketball team wrapped up its regular season with two straight losses.
IVC dropped its second game of
the season to Bartonville Limestone
in interconference play before being swept on the season by Corn Belt
Conference rival Fairbury Prairie
Central, finishing the regular season
with a record of 11-14 overall, 7-7 conference.
Bartonville Limestone 45, IVC 35
BARTONVILLE — The first time
IVC met up against Bartonville
Limestone, the Rockets spoiled the
Lady Grey Ghosts trip to the Peoria
Manual Holiday Tournament with a
55-51 loss.
The latest inter-conference meetup between the two teams yielded
similar results. Limestone once again
topped the visiting Lady Grey Ghosts
on Feb. 9, taking a 45-35 win.
Both teams played evenly in the
opening quarter, both scoring just
four points to send a tie game into the
second frame.
IVC gained the edge in the second

quarter, outscoring Limestone 9-8 to
take a 13-12 lead at halftime.
Both offenses heated up in the third
quarter, combining for 29 points offensively, but the Rockets gained a 1712 advantage to go up 29-25 headed
into the final eight minutes.
Limestone held onto the lead
through the final eight minutes,
draining 16 points to IVC’s 10 to claim
a 10-point home win.
IVC senior Shayna VanOstrand led
the Lady Grey Ghosts with 16 points,
shooting 6 for 11 from the field, including four 3-pointers.
Fellow senior Katelyn Heinz followed with eight points, shooting 4
for 8 from the field.
In addition, senior Erica Larson
tacked on seven points for IVC on a
5-for-6 effort from the free-throw
line.
IVC senior Demi Johnson rounded
out the Lady Grey Ghosts’ scoring
with four points.
Heinz led IVC on the boards, pulling down seven rebounds. Larson,
VanOstrand and junior Kylie Milliken followed with three apiece.
Prairie Central 36, IVC 28
Headed into Thursday’s game, the
Lady Grey Ghosts guaranteed at least
a Corn Belt Conference record at
.500, hoping to take their eighth conference win to finish in the winning
column.
However, Fairbury Prairie Central
crushed those hopes, crashing IVC’s
Senior Night festivities with a 36-28
win over the Lady Grey Ghosts.
Despite the win, Prairie Central
coach Tom Garriott was less than
thrilled with the Hawks’ offensive
performance. The Hawks shot just 14
for 45 (31.1 percent) from the field;
if you ask Garriott, they could have
been better.
“That was probably our worst
shooting performance for four quarters we’ve had all year,” Garriott said.
“… We couldn’t make a free throw.
We couldn’t make layup, wide-open,
12-foot shots. We just had to lock in
on defense. The whole season your
offense flows off your defense. You’ve
just got to keep getting stops, playing hard on D and shoot your shots
when you’ve got them, and eventually
they’ll fall. Tonight, they never did
fall, but we locked down on D.”
The Hawks opened with a 4-0 run

Olympia 61, IVC 43
STANFORD — A 22-point third quarter
doomed the Grey Ghosts on Friday as host
Stanford Olympia rolled to a 61-43 win,
sweeping the Grey Ghosts on the season.
The Spartans held a 13-10 lead after the
first quarter, but IVC doubled up on Olympia in the second frame, scoring 16 points to
Olympia’s eight to take a 26-21 lead.
However, the momentum swung the Spartans’ way in the second half as Olympia’s offense knocked down 22 points, holding IVC
to just six and taking a 43-32 lead headed
into the final eight minutes.
The Spartans prevented the Grey Ghosts
from rallying in the fourth quarter, outscoring IVC 18-11 to take their second win of the
season from the Grey Ghosts.
IVC senior Mason Schaub led the Grey
Ghosts with 14 points, followed by sophomore Jordan Mercer with 12 and sophomore
Cameron Owdom with 11.
Juniors Jake Rashid and Noah Benson
each tacked on two points.
The Spartans were led by senior Thomas
Hallstein with 20 points. Junior Blake Dehn
followed with 14 points.
East Moline United 73, IVC 48
EAST MOLINE — Two 20-point quarters
proved too much for IVC on Saturday as host
East Moline United cruised to a 73-48 win
over the Grey Ghosts.
IVC trailed just four after the first quarter,
down 10-6.
However, the Panthers got their first
20-point quarter in the second, knocking
down 24 points to IVC’s 11 to take a 34-17
lead.
United carried the momentum into the
third frame, draining another 20 points
and holding the Grey Ghosts to 12, putting
the Panthers up 54-29 headed into the final
quarter.
The Grey Ghosts managed to score 19
points in the fourth quarter, but the Panthers
matched that effort and kept a potential IVC
rally in check.
Schaub led the Grey Ghosts with 11 points,
followed by senior Matt Keffeler with 10 and
Owdom with nine.
Rashid added five points for the Grey
Ghosts, while Benson tacked on four.
Junior Hunter Fennell added three points,
while Mercer, along with seniors Jarom Hutson and Andrew McMorrow, scored two
points.
The Grey Ghosts will be on the road to face
Normal University at 7 p.m. Friday. IVC will
then play its final home game of the season
when it hosts Galesburg at 7 p.m. Saturday.
IVC will wrap up the regular season on the
road, facing Normal West at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday and Mahomet-Seymour at 7:30 p.m.

“It’s unbelievable, really,” Pazanin said. “When
you look at this conference, I mean, it’s an unbelievable conference. …
I’m just so happy for the
girls and the work they’ve
put in because the types
of teams they were playing last year weren’t these
teams. They were much
smaller schools, so I don’t
think the competition
isn’t even near what it
was.”
At the beginning of the
season, Pazanin said, he
anticipated IVC’s first year
in the Corn Belt Conference to be an eye-opener,
but the Lady Grey Ghosts
accepted the challenge
and handled it well.
“They did a great job.
I’m just so proud of them,”
Pazanin said.
The
fourth-seeded
Lady Grey Ghosts were
scheduled to open postseason play against No. 5
Geneseo at 7 p.m. Monday at the IHSA Class 3A

courtesy of junior Kiana Coomber, but IVC
answered back with five
unanswered to take a 5-4
lead.
Prairie Central regained
a 6-5 lead to close out
the opening frame, but
a 3-pointer from IVC senior Shayna VanOstrand
opened up the second
quarter and put IVC back
on top, 8-6.
After IVC built up a 1411 lead with 1 minute, 35
seconds to go, a Coomber
bucket brought the Hawks
within one point.
But VanOstrand struck
again, knocking down a
3-pointer, drawing a foul
and hitting the and-1 to
put IVC up 18-13 at halftime.
The Hawks outmatched
the Lady Grey Ghosts in
the third quarter, hitting
13 points to IVC’s eight to
tie the game 26-26 headed
into the fourth quarter.
IVC’s shooters fell flat
in the fourth quarter,
however, hitting just one
field goal on 11 attempts.
“We had a lot of open
shots. We had a lot of
open 3’s for ourselves. We
had a lot of bunnies that
we just didn’t make, so it
was a good offense. It just
felt like there was a lid on
the rim tonight,” said IVC
coach Martin Pazanin.
“Shots didn’t fall for us,
but I was happy with the
way we ran offense.”
Meanwhile, the Hawks
knocked down 10 points,
boosting Prairie Central
to an eight-point win and
sweeping IVC 2-0 on the
season.
VanOstrand led IVC
with 14 points, followed
by senior Demi Johnson
with seven and senior
Katelyn Heinz with five.
Though the regular
season ended on a sour
note, Pazanin said he was
pleased with the Lady
Grey Ghosts’ effort to finish at .500 in the conference, especially coming
off a 2013-14 campaign
that saw IVC finish 8-21

AUTOMOTIVE
Range Rover Sport, the off-road GT
F
lying into Denver in
January and then
traveling into the
Colorado high country
virtually guarantees a few
challenges: hideous traffic,
winding mountain roads,
an altitude hangover,
brass-monkey cold, snow in
biblical-plague depths and
drivers from somewhere
else who can’t cope.
It’s comforting, then,
to be at the wheel of a
large yet agile vehicle with
smart all-wheel drive and
enough power to blitz
the passes — along with
satnav, serious wipers and
defrosters, heated wing
mirrors, far-seeing Xenon
lights and ways to manage
various functions without
taking hands off the steering wheel or eyes off the
road, plus perks such as
adjustable seat warmers
and automatic dual-zone
heat. There’s just one more
must-have for a polar trek
like this, and we’ll get to it
later.
These days, plenty of
pricey SUVs tick the boxes
on this list, but our Rocky
Mountain snowmobile
was one that I’ve come to
place a great deal of trust
in: a Range Rover Sport,
the lighter, all-aluminum
luxury 4-by-4 that wowed
everyone when it debuted
as a 2014. This one wasn’t
the supercharged V-8
model, but instead the
slightly more modest —
and much more modestly
priced — supercharged
V-6 Sport. So instead of
510 horsepower, we had
to get by with just 340
horses. (Both engines are
paired with an eight-speed
automatic transmission
that can be shifted manually; both are shared with
sibling company Jaguar
too.)
The V-6 Sport’s Terrain
Response system also lacks
the extra-sharp Dynamic
pavement setting of the
V-8 Sport. Otherwise, the
vehicles are very similar,
especially since ours was
dressed up with the $5,000
HSE luxury package and
the $1,300 Extra Duty
Pack. However, instead
of shelling out more than
$100,000 for the V-8
Sport, we’d have paid
just $73,125 for this one,
as optioned — had our
Powerball ticket come in.
Range Rover Sports are
unique. Last fall a year ago,
I had a chance to visit with
Stuart Frith, chief program
engineer for this marvelous
machine. When I asked
him what he was proudest of in his new baby, he
hesitated for a moment
and then said, with classic
British diffidence, “It’s the
way the vehicle seems to
stretch the laws of physics.”
Having by then put oodles
of fast road miles on a V-8
Sport, I could grasp part of
his point: For an SUV, the
RRSport does a heck of an
imitation of a GT car.
The rest of it came clear
when a Range Rover
instructor took me out —
still in the Sport, still on
street tires — into the company’s Jungle Track proving
ground for the other half of
the Range Rover experience. If he hadn’t, I would
not have believed that a
deluxe speed-sled can wade
through that much water,
climb and descend such
steep and slippery slopes,
and tiptoe over such epically jagged terrain — so
easily, and with no drama.
ê§
$’›c ’›âoÔc l
夤
íRoc
/«âAâo J
«íÔâoØþ o\š
On the 8-inch touchscreen, I could watch a
cartoon of all four wheels
driving and working up
and down independently,
and both differentials
automatically locking and
unlocking themselves for
best grip, while monitoring the water depth and
the incline and lean angles.
And listening to the “Ride
of the Valkyries” — the British Parachute Regiment’s
quick march — on 23
stereo speakers. No snow,
though, on the Jungle
Track.
In Colorado, the resort
staff decided that such a
fine vehicle deserved pampered parking, and handed
over a pass to the heated
underground garage,
where the 360-degree cameras and beepers helped us
thread the maze of pillars
and posts without dinging
the RRSport’s gilded flanks.
And every evening the
puddle lights that project
“Range Rover” onto the
ground alongside the front
doors reliably wowed our
guests.
Now for that final snowcountry must-have feature
The Range Rover Sport wraps the latest on- and offroad performance goodies in the creature comforts
of a deluxe sedan. The helmet was for skiing, not
driving.
(no, not a ski rack): One
day, despite its super-hero
Terrain Response 4×4
system, the anti-lock brakes
and my best efforts, our
RRSport slid, slowly and
gracefully, on its threeseason tires down an icy
incline and across an
intersection in front of a
Breckenridge city bus. The
bus stopped; eventually, so
did we. But it was a scary
moment. When it comes to
grip, ultimately even “the
best four-by-four by far” is
only as good as its tires.
