Lions Gate road plate raises ire Temporary ‘speed hump’ causes commuter headache

BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

It’s not a speed bump. But it sure does feel like one when you hit it unexpectedly at 50

kilometres per hour. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure has installed a “temporary road plate” as part of the Lions Gate Bridge north approach viaduct joint

renewal project. The plate allows workers to replace the bridge deck joint underneath and should be gone in the next week and a half. But whether it’s startling drivers or slowing them down, it’s been a commuter headache, said Peter Ferlow, a West Vancouver resident who works downtown.

“A friend of ours who was coming from Squamish on Monday morning was surprised by it and actually got some air in their car,” Ferlow said with a laugh. “It’s added another 20 or 25 minutes to my commute from downtown. It’s a trafﬁc parking lot from Granville Street on Georgia, all the way to the bridge.”

Ferlow said he is also concerned about the project getting behind schedule and over budget. The province initially announced a $4.2-million budget for the project in July 2014 and a completion date of fall 2014. The ministry’s website now lists the project cost at

The project was meant to make the bridge deck smoother and quieter but Ferlow said the completed sections still provide a rough ride. “The guys with the Porsches and Ferraris and anyone else with low proﬁle tires is getting their ﬁllings knocked out and thinking that their tires are popping,” he said.

CapU president Bulcroft to retire BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

Capilano University president Kris Bulcroft has announced she will be stepping down in 2016. Bulcroft’s ﬁve-year contract was scheduled to come to an end this summer, but at the request of the university’s board of governors, she’s agreed to stay on for one more year. By hanging on until 2016, Bulcroft will be able to help implement the recently approved strategic plan. The plan is meant to guide the school through some challenges ahead, including the third budget shortfall of more than a $1 million in three years. The next 18 months will also allow the board to kick off a search for a new president. Bulcroft was teaching See Search page 3

Court delays Annapolis sinking

Fund to support family of Joffre Peak climbing victim

JENNIFER THUNCHER Squamish Chief

BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

The saga continues. The Annapolis will not be sunk anytime soon. Federal Court Judge Michel Shore granted the Save Halkett Bay Marine Park Society its requested injunction, on Monday in Vancouver, to not allow the former warship to be moved into position for sinking. The Artiﬁcial Reef Society of British Columbia had scheduled to move the ship on Tuesday, Jan. 13 from Long Bay off Gambier Island, to Halkett Bay where it was set to become an artiﬁcial reef. The court also scheduled a hearing for Jan. 27 to consider Save Halkett Bay’s injunction to stop the sinking altogether. “Justice Shore’s order is clearly in favour of protecting the environment by keeping the now derelict Annapolis at anchor until he has a chance to decide whether Environment Canada broke the law by issuing a permit to sink it,” Gary MacDonald of Save Halkett Bay stated in a news release. In a last-ditch effort to stop the sinking of the

Friends and neighbours are reaching out to help the family of Elena Cernicka, the North Vancouver woman who died in a fall while mountaineering on Joffre Peak Jan. 11. Cernicka leaves behind her husband Tomas and their two sons. Brenden Torrell and his girlfriend Allisha Matthews, who live next door and have a daughter close in age to the Cernickas’ eldest, have launched a crowdfunding campaign aimed at offering some ﬁnancial support to the

In the interim, the court was scheduled to hear the

group’s request to stop the Annapolis from being moved in preparation for sinking. The not-for-proﬁt lobby group bases its latest objection to transforming the ship into an artiﬁcial reef on the results of testing done on paint

chips off of the Annapolis which had tributyltins, compounds designed to prevent the growth of marine life, according to MacDonald. TBTs are banned by order of a United Nations treaty, which includes Canada.

Members of Save Halkett Bay Marine Park Society have been ﬁghting the sinking of the HMCS Annapolis for six years. Representatives from the Artiﬁcial Reef Society of British Columbia were not immediately available for comment.

Search for new president to start in June From page 1 in Switzerland when Cap’s last presidential search committee sourced her out. She opted to take the reins at Cap to be closer to her family on the West Coast, she said. “I thought ‘That would be an interesting job. Cap sounds like a place that really cares about students and is really focused on teaching, which of course, is my value set too.” The last years of Bulcroft’s term have been turbulent ones as the university has dealt with diminishing operating grants from the province and budget shortfalls that have led to a swath of

programs being cut from the school. In 2014, the Capilano Faculty Association called for her resignation and a laid-off studio arts instructor made an efﬁgy of Bulcroft that itself became a source of controversy. But, Bulcroft said, the change and controversy at Cap is no different than any other post-secondary institution that has been forced to deal with changing demands and do so with less money. As the school’s leader, it was on her to take the heat, no different than in politics, she said. “Whether it’s fair or unfair, I don’t know.

Change is what it is and I felt an obligation to lead us through that change. I don’t deﬂect blame on others. I will take responsibility.” And Bulcroft said she will leave with far more positive things to reﬂect on than negative. Among her top achievements are the strategic plan and overseeing the creation of some new student-focused features on campus like the Bosa Centre for Film and Animation, the Aboriginal Gathering Space, and the Centre for International Experience. “The students are really using the spaces. It’s really changed, I think, the culture of the

campus turning us much more toward a destination campus for students,” she said. Shelley McDade, chairwoman of the board, said the board is grateful for Bulcroft’s contributions — especially the strategic plan, which Bulcroft worked hard to ensure was crafted with the input of all stakeholders on and off campus. “The last couple years have been a real struggle for post-secondary institutions around North America and there’s new realities around funding, competition for students and, of course, students’ needs are changing,” she said. “We’ve worked really

hard to get this plan put together to help us navigate these changes. And we’re really grateful that Kris has agreed to extend her contract so she can lead the implementation of this work.” Cap will strike a presidential search committee, made up of students, faculty, administration and non-teaching staff. The university will hire a search ﬁrm and likely start seeking candidates by June. For the yet-to-benamed incoming president, Bulcroft has this piece of advice. “Have a thick skin,” she said. “And a good sense of humour helps too.”

There aren’t usually words that can assuage someone’s grief but the donations should at least relieve some ﬁnancial stress, Torrell said. Because their kids were close to the same age,Torrell would often see Elena with her sons in the park or on Grouse Mountain for skiing or hiking. “She was just a super nice lady.Very happy and always smiling. Great with her kids. Always taking her kids out to ride their bikes or do something active because they were very outdoorsy people,” he said. “Loved to explore.

$7.6 million and there’s no update on when it should be done or what’s caused the delay. There was a minor pileup at the north end of the bridge on Wednesday afternoon, according to West Vancouver police, but it’s not clear whether the road plate was a factor, according to Const. Jeff Palmer, West Vancouver police spokesman. As long as people are paying attention and watching their speed, there’s no reason the plate should be a danger, he said. “There is a lot of signage warning that there is a bump and there are ﬂashing lights at the immediate site of the bump and there’s marking on the speed bump. There’s a great deal of warning,” he said. “People are going to slow down for a lot of reasons on the Lions Gate Bridge and apparently now for the next seven to

11 days, a speed hump is going to be one of those but people should always be alert to what’s in front of them and not be following too closely.” The ministry did not respond to a request for comment by the North Shore News’ deadline.

Fossil fools S

eemingly determined to destroy the credibility of the Fraser Institute, the Fraser Institute released another study this week. Heroically stretching the definition of think tank, the institute’s latest opus takes a swipe at unenlightened activists fretting over increased oil tanker traffic. Oil tankers are far less likely to run aground these days than they were in the 1970s. “And yet,” the study’s author notes, “some activists and politicians want to restrict and/or ban tanker traffic in Canadian waters.” It is true that some environmentalists haven’t moved on from Enbridge’s 230,000-litre spill in 2012 or the Exxon Valdez disaster of 1989 — but then again, neither has the environment. More than 25 years after Exxon’s deluge

of oil coated the Alaska coastline, many animal populations are still recovering. A pod of orcas didn’t produce a single calf in the 20 years following the spill and the once thriving herring population has shown no signs of recovery. Back then, the oil industry characterized the chances of a spill as inﬁnitesimal,West Vancouver Mayor and oilman Michael Smith noted during last year’s debate about LNG tankers in Howe Sound. Maybe the oil industry was wrong back then and they’re right today. Maybe Howe Sound will be ﬁne and every drop of LNG and Alberta oil will make it to Asia, where it will be burned and belched into the atmosphere. Maybe the Fraser Institute has a point: we shouldn’t worry about what will happen if something goes wrong. We should worry about what will happen if everything goes right.

Terror a tactic, deeper strategy is grimmer The bell of free speech is ringing loudly these days. But free speech hurts. Somebody. Some interest. Some wallet.That is why there are always attempts to stifle it. Read on. First, the obligatory statement of revulsion for Islamic or any terrorism. But the West is hardly blameless. The West’s mucking into Middle East matters has largely been a disaster. European colonial powers drew many illogical national boundaries there. Arab and Muslim nationalists — anyone destabilizing the status quo, anyone obstructing oil flow — is automatically vilified. Notice that Syrian President Bashar Assad abruptly fell down the enemies list, all but disappeared from the media, when the greater threat of ISIS materialized? Note well: As an editor

who made tens of thousands of choices, I would never — as I wrote at the time — publish the blasphemous novel by the unpleasantly egotistical Salman Rushdie, or the mocking Danish cartoons of Mohammed. They understandably infuriated Islam and opened the door to fatwas and terrorism.They made free speech synonymous with stupidity.

CONTACTUS

Note this above all: Horriﬁc as it is, Islamic terrorist groups use terror only as a tactic. The deeper strategy is grimmer, as Simon Fraser University history professor Andre Gerolymatos, an international expert on espionage and intelligence, warns. Their goal is to stampede Western people into turning on their Muslim populations, to provoke our own hate-ﬁlled version of jihad against everyone with the faith indiscriminately. That in turn would taunt and goad all Muslim countries into joining in the monumental bloodbath of an apocalyptic religious global war. Don’t take the bait. ••• Now another example of free speech that won’t be universally welcome.

It began with a complaint of one or both of the owners, apparently feeling the heat of continuing controversy, of the huge house planned for West Van’s Kensington Crescent. This item appeared in this paper on Dec. 31 under the heading Setting It Straight: “To correct information in previous news articles on Sept. 7, Oct. 5, and Oct. 22, as well as the Trevor Lautens columns on Oct. 10 and Nov. 7, the size of the house under construction in Kensington Crescent,West Vancouver, after blasting permits, is 12,063.27 square feet, not as previously reported at 16,000 square feet or 17,500 square feet.” To the reader, this was admission of a mistake. But it says here that unidentiﬁed reporters and editors — myself annoyed less than you might think — shouldn’t have been

thrown under the bus. No, the bus wheels stop at town hall, its councillors and bureaucrats. (Pause for this: The Kensington Crescent ediﬁce is entirely legal — because they allow it. I believe there’s hardly a jot of political will at town hall to limit house size, protect neighbourhoods, and all that good stuff.) I emailed Bob Sokol, West Vancouver planning director, copies to the mayor and each councillor and others, questioning the huge discrepancy in the Kensington house’s square footage ﬁgures. No one replied.Town hall chose to answer to higher journalistic authorities. I trudged on. Oddly, following this bouncing ball turned out to be maddeningly entertaining. You might assume real estate mathematics are bound by iron hoops.

Turns out they’re amazingly arbitrary, varying from jurisdiction to jurisdiction — almost as much mumbo-jumbo as science. For example, in some jurisdictions “heated space” determines square footage. Cathedral ceilings? Count double. West Vancouver’s rules are that the following can be excluded: A garage or carport to a maximum of 440 square feet; decks, porches, patios, gazebos, tool sheds, pool houses, attic space, crawl space. So town hall employs a formula. And this formula — the easily missed phrase “after blasting permits” above apparently refers to a change in the prospective size of the basement — massaged the size of this particular house down by roughly 4,000 or 5,000 See Research page 9

VIEWPOINT

B.C. seems poised for a few LNG terminals Trying to gauge whether a liquefied natural gas industry is going to finally establish a toehold in this province remains a risky endeavour, more so now that oil prices have plummeted to nearrecord lows. While LNG is not oil, the price of oil determines so many things that all industries are affected by it. When oil prices deteriorate like they have in recent weeks, they send a ripple effect through the world economy. One of the impacts is that banks and capital financiers become more conservative in backing short-term capital investments, and some companies begin to nervously watch their cash flow situation and contemplate reduced spending. Aside from the wild volatility in the energy sector right now, B.C.’s would-be LNG industry is already facing other challenges, not the least of which it is trying to enter

Keith Baldrey

View from the Ledge an intensely competitive sector, and countries like Australia, Russia, Qatar and the U.S. have been in the game longer. Still, B.C.’s cabinet minister responsible for LNG, Rich Coleman, last week reiterated his neverdying optimism that one of the more than a dozen companies with LNG terminals on the drawing board for B.C. will make what is called the Final Investment Decision sometime this year. While it’s easy to dismiss Coleman’s enthusiasm as a case of political delusion, there are

some clues out there that, behind the scenes, things are happening that may indeed see at least one of the LNG companies ﬁnally make the call to set up shop in this province. First of all, there has been a sudden and steady increase in the number of key First Nations bands that have inked revenue sharing agreements with LNG companies to share in any potential windfall from their projects. At least eight northern First Nations have made such deals, and the money involved is substantial. Some bands will be guaranteed a substantial annual revenue stream, which could have an enormous positive impact on the economic health of their members. Wet’suwet’en First Nations chief Karen Ogen told the Vancouver Sun: “Do we want a better life for our people? Yes, we do. How are we going to get it? Not by sitting here waiting for government handouts.” According to the Sun, her community will get

almost $3 million (if the Shell LNG plant actually goes ahead), to be used to increase education and skills for its 242 members, as well as being invested in housing, health and culture. While a number of First Nations bands remain ﬁrmly opposed to LNG projects and pipelines, this spate of agreements may signal that First Nations’ opposition may be waning in the face of lucrative partnership agreements. Another important development on the LNG front occurred just before Christmas. Australian LNG giant Woodside Petroleum Ltd. bought out Apache Corp.’s 50 per cent share of the proposed LNG project near Kitimat (Chevron has the other 50 per cent). A number of analysts have noted a ﬁnancial transaction of this magnitude (almost $3 billion, which includes Apache’s interest in an Australian LNG terminal) doesn’t occur as a mere whim, and

may indicate the Kitimat project is closer to a Final Investment Decision than many may have thought. Finally, the head of the B.C. LNG Alliance, David Keane, has pointed out a decision to invest in LNG is not going to be based on the price of energy today. He told me these are long-term investment decisions, and that “supply gaps” of energy need to be ﬁlled over the next 30 or 40 years. He says he is very optimistic at least one FID will be made this coming year. The Asian demand for LNG over the next few decades will only grow, no matter what the price may be today, he says. The proposed LNG projects for B.C. aren’t slated to come on stream for at least several years, so the spot energy market today could be long forgotten by the time any of those terminals are up and running. Nevertheless, the great guessing game will continue for some months yet.

We should know by the end of the year whether the BC Liberal government’s all-in strategy for developing LNG in B.C. will begin to pay off, or whether it ends up holding a losing hand. The way things look right now, I’d be surprised if at least two or three terminals don’t go ahead. That’s nowhere near as many as Premier Christy Clark envisioned in the last provincial election campaign, but even two or three LNG terminals would provide a healthy revenue stream for a provincial government.

If you think that it’s in the seller’s interest to maximize a house’s square footage by including all of the above, and it’s in the buyer’s interest to minimize it by subtracting the garage, patio etc. and lowering his offer accordingly — you’ve got it.

him, according to police. “He sustained head injuries. He’s still in intensive care,” said Cpl. Richard De Jong, North Vancouver RCMP spokesman, on Tuesday afternoon. So far, there is no word on whether there will be any charges. “Who has the right of way at that point? That will be determined through the investigation,” De Jong said. “The footnote is both the truck driver and the scooter driver need to comply with right-of-ways, rules and regulations of the road, signage, speed limits and those sorts of things.”

North Vancouver RCMP have been responding to an inordinate number of collisions with pedestrians since winter began. Contributing factors have been darkness, bad weather, distracted driving and pedestrians walking out onto the road without paying attention. But De Jong acknowledged, those are perennial problems and, so far, there’s no theory on why 20142015 has had so many pedestrian injuries. “I don’t think you could nail it down to one thing,” he said.

Bowen ferry gets a refit For the next four months, Bowen Island ferry users will be travelling between Horseshoe Bay and Snug Cove on a substitute vessel while the Queen of Capilano gets a $12million facelift. The Bowen Queen will provide service between the island and the mainland until May 5.The vehicle capacity of the Bowen Queen is lower than that of the Queen of Capilano and, as such, the ferry corporation is providing extra services to help mitigate the potential for overloads, according to a B.C. Ferries press release.This includes a direct-to-downtown bus shuttle, discounted parking at Horseshoe Bay terminal, additional sailings and assured loading for highoccupancy vehicles during afternoon rush hour sailings to Bowen Island. The Queen of Capilano’s mid-life upgrade includes safety and mechanical improvements to prepare the vessel for another 20 years of service.The project will also see the addition of gallery decks, which will increase the capacity from 85 to 100 vehicles, and a foot passenger entrance/exit with a ramp for loading and unloading at Horseshoe Bay.

Don McGlashan returns with solo project

Lucky man

■ Don McGlashan, Presentation House Theatre, tonight at 8 p.m.Tickets $28/$25. For more information visit capilanou.ca. JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

What do you do when your children are old enough to fend for themselves? If you’re Don McGlashan, you start making albums. The New Zealand singer/songwriter, multiinstrumentalist and father of two is back with a new album, Lucky Stars. The 10-track disc is the joyful music of a middleaged man with a rambling mind, featuring paeans to loneliness and forgiveness, scenes of planes flying by and waves rolling in. McGlashan finds gratitude for life in the New Zealand dawn and the reflection in a gas station’s smash-proof glass. The six-year gap between releases is unusual for McGlashan, who has rarely been more than three years between albums, whether solo or with New Zealand band andTragically Hip touring mates

The Mutton Birds. “For many years I’ve supported the family by moonlighting out away from performing and writing songs to work on ﬁlm scores,” he explains. His downtime also included writing music for the RugbyWorld Cup, but in the future he plans to focus more on his own music. “The kids are old enough now that they can fend for themselves, I think,” he says. While musicians like Axl Rose seem to revel in sequestering themselves in a recording studio in the hopes of securing musical perfection, McGlashan takes the opposite view. “If you spend too long between albums some of the songs start to be a little bit like those things at the back of the refrigerator that you pull out and you wonder what they were when you put them in,” he says. “I’m going to try and avoid that in the future.” McGlashan speaks to the North Shore News while reeling from jet lag and the temperature shock of leaving New Zealand’s summer season for B.C.’s winter, but he’s quick with a self-effacing joke.

When I suggest his songwriting trajectory, going from longer, story-based songs to shorter tunes that focus on a single emotion is similar to Bruce Springsteen’s musical orbit, he laughs. “Thank you for mentioning me in the same sentence as Springsteen without a qualiﬁer like ‘not,’ or ‘no way.’” Still, he can’t disguise his enthusiasm when discussing the album’s title track. “With ‘Lucky Stars’ I just went, ‘I’ve had this feeling, I just want the song to be about that and nothing else,’ and it was quite revelatory,” he says. “A lot of people have been able to do that right from the very start of their careers. It’s taken me decades.” McGlashan used to toil over fragments of ideas until he found a way to turn them into stories. And while he’s a great admirer of narrative songs like “Long BlackVeil,” he also has an affection for pure pop. “Some of the songs I love most are the songs that, I turn on the radio and I hear a new song and

Lucas Foss has more than 30 years of experience working with adults with disabilities. He’s also an award-winning playwright and his most recent work, Re-calculating, draws inspiration from his long professional career. Foss retired from Capilano University in 2013 after 22 years as a disability services advisor. Shortly before his retirement, though, the NorthVancouver resident completed a one-year paid educational leave to focus on his writing. “What I decided to do was to create a disability

awareness piece for postsecondary institutions,” Foss says, explaining that Re-calculating was staged at several colleges and universities in B.C. He never intended it for professional production, he says, until he was approached by RealwheelsTheatre, a Vancouver-based company that creates and produces performances that aim to help audiences better understand the disability experience. Foss worked with dramaturge Liesl Lafferty to co-write a new rendition of his play, which is being presented by Realwheels Jan. 22 to 24 at CBC Studio 700. Directed by Jeffrey Renn, Re-calculating remains a one-man show featuring the original star Dave Symington as Jonathan, a quadriplegic drummer. Like his character, Symington is also a quadriplegic and plays See Most page 32

Eastwood keeps it simple with Sniper “I have a very strict guncontrol policy: if there’s a gun around, I want to be in control of it.” — Clint Eastwood. ■ American Sniper. Directed by Clint Eastwood. Starring Bradley Cooper. Rating: 7 (out of 10) JULIE CRAWFORD ContributingWriter

In American Sniper 84year-old director Clint Eastwood tells the story of the deadliest sniper in U.S. history, but wisely avoids politicizing the history of real-life Navy SEAL Chris Kyle. Kyle logged over 160 kills during his four tours of Iraq, a record. In case the viewer has any difficulty rooting for such an expert killing machine, and in a conflict where it’s not always easy to distinguish the good guys from the bad, Eastwood makes it simple: the opening scene shows an armed woman, then an armed child, threatening a U.S. convoy. And when a seemingly kind family invites Chris and his fellow soldiers to sit down for a meal, it turns out there is a cache of weapons hidden in the floorboards. No moral complexity here; this is about the man, not the conflict. A beefed-up Bradley Cooper, who packed on a reported 40 pounds for the role, plays Chris, a cowboy who finds his life’s purpose when he enlists. He meets Taya (Sienna Miller) at a bar and she says what some of the audience is secretly thinking: “You’re a SEAL? You’re a bunch of arrogant,

egotistical pricks.” Chris’ earnestness about serving his country and Cooper’s inherent charm effectively shoots us all down and makes us feel sorry for ever doubting him. Plus, he does that trademark good-guy thing of holdingTaya’s hair back when she throws up all those shots of Jameson. But one tour of duty turns into two.Then three and four. Chris becomes the angel of entire platoons on the ground, shooting enemies from nearby rooftops above, and before long he is simply known asThe Legend. He spends more than a thousand days in enemy territory, forsaking his wife and two kids stateside. “Do you want to die?You don’t know how to quit,”Taya observes.The dust and the killing leave Chris homesick. He just can’t reconcile that with fatherhood and mowing the lawn back home. Chris has an ongoing rivalry with a Syrian national named Mustafa (Sammy Sheik), the enemy version of himself.The film excels in these tense battle scenes, the climactic battle in a sandstorm, in particular. The rest of the film deals with Chris’ debilitating PTSD. “What haunts me is all the men I couldn’t save,” he eventually tells a doctor, who points to a hospital hallway full of injured vets who need saving. Chris Kyle’s story is less sensational here than in his autobiography — one tale of which resulted in a defamation suit from wrestler/governor Jesse Ventura (now under appeal). It’s difficult enough to nominate a prolific sniper for

sainthood without all those bad-boy bragging stories, so Eastwood keeps the story trim. Domestic scenes, however, are too brief and provide too little detail about Kyle’s journey from professional killer to rehabilitated family man. In fact, other than a brief hunting outing with his son, there’s only one scene meant to suggest that Kyle is back to normal: he walks into the kitchen, leading with his gun, pointing it at his wife in a kind of sexy game while the kids play nearby. “I’m so happy I’ve got my husband back,” she says before the film ends abruptly less than a minute later. Some of us could have used a little more convincing. Cooper nails the Texas drawl and makes a compelling patriot, elevating the film beyond ordinary. Had Eastwood drawn Chris Kyle’s home life with the same focus as he did his expert marksmanship, American Sniper would have been a sure-fire hit.

Is This Your Situation?!

Testosterone levels begin to diminish in men around age 30. In fact, by the time men are 60 years old, they typically produce 60% less testosterone than they did at age 20 (a man’s sexual peak). Many men over the age of 35 may already be feeling the effects of lower testosterone including:

Increas Belly Fat Increased Low Energy

Low Libido Mood Changes

Decreased Muscle Strength Prostate Problems and more...

Unfortunately at the same time testosterone is decreasing, estrogen levels are increasing, causing further muscle loss and gain in body fat, making it extremely difﬁcult to maintain a healthy metabolism. Along with a program of proper nutrition and regular exercise, researchers have discovered a group of naturally proven nutrients that can help you safely reduce excess estrogen while maximizing testosterone levels. Ultimate Male Energy™ contains 100% natural ingredients like: Chrysin, Stinging Nettle Root Extract, Indole-3-Carbinol and Broccoli Sprout Powder to help restore healthy, youthful hormone balance by positively affecting both estrogen and testosterone production, which ultimately helps a man look, feel and perform at his best.

Tell us what Lynn Valley means to you. WHAT DO YOU SEE FOR THE FUTURE OF LYNN VALLEY?

WHAT IS YOUR HAPPIEST MEMORY OF LYNN VALLEY?

“From my perspective, density is important and growth is inevitable to allow us all to continue to live here. Lynn Valley is an incredible place so why not share it? Although we will need to maintain our community as much as we can, but growth within reason is important; the status quo doesn’t benefit if there isn’t growth.”

Bob McCormack

Bob was born and raised in Lynn Valley, he has volunteered in the community for 40 years. Roles included: former Director of the Lynn Valley Service Society, President of the Norgate Housing Society, Board member of the Lynn Valley Committee Association, and a foundation member of the Northshore Disabled Resource Centre.

“My happiest memory fits right in to that child-friendly atmosphere. I remember rollerblading, swimming, fort building, and climbing trees with my best friends during long summer days. The neighbourhood was extremely family oriented so we had low-traffic roads enabling us to do all of these fun activities in the safety of our backyards.”

CREATE THE COMMUNITY OF THE FUTURE. LEAVE BEHIND A LASTING LEGACY.

WHAT DO YOU FEEL TRULY DEFINES LYNN VALLEY AS A UNIQUE NEIGHBOURHOOD?

WHAT IS YOUR HAPPIEST MEMORY OF LYNN VALLEY?

Michelle Andreychuk

A Mountain Community BY BOSA

WHAT DO YOU FEEL TRULY DEFINES LYNN VALLEY AS A UNIQUE NEIGHBOURHOOD?

I’ve lived in Lynn Valley since 1992, my family and my community have been the driving factors that have kept me here so I’d say the happiest memory of Lynn Valley for me is having my children born here. It’s an area that has great community events for people of all ages, and my children were able to experience this growing up.”

“It offers so much on the nature side of things. There’s mountains, rivers, biking trails, swimming holes, and some of the most beautiful scenery in Canada. When it comes to the people, I like how I can go anywhere in Lynn Valley and see a familiar face.”

Lynn Valley Legacy: Michelle has been involved in the community for over twenty years, having raised two kids in the neighbourhood and been in attendance at all of their school events and extracurricular activities over the years.

Katie Andreychuk

John Gilmour

John was the former President of the Lynn Valley Community Association. He currently sits on the board of Friends of the North Vancouver Museum and Archive Society and is an active community member.

Katie is the CEO of Pie Sessions an independent YouTube channel that features interviews with bands, in exchange for one of her homemade pies. Around Lynn Valley, she managed a co-ed soccer team for two years, and has volunteered for the RCMP’s Summer Crime Prevention Program.

“I like how Lynn Valley has the feel of a small town, but without all the gossip. Its community is an inherent part of its identity. Many of our neighbours are community minded and do things in support of our community.”

Bob Rasmus

Bob stood on the board of directors of the BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities, was a chair and provincial representative of the National Diabetes Association Liaison committee, and a Lynn Valley Lions member for 25 years.

Lynn Valley is known for its beautiful mountains and trails, so it’s only ﬁtting that this development complement its surroundings. Our “Mountain Village” community features six low rise buildings with over 350 homes. A commercial area including a grocery store will be built at ground level for both the community and the residents’ convenience. Lynn Valley Centre will also undergo an extensive renovation providing additional shops and services. Designed by award winning Chris Dikeakos Architects, this development will bring new life to the local community and help reshape Lynn Valley.

Writer’s work never strays far from home

Tyler Keevil wins prestigious award with story set in B.C. ERIN MCPHEE emcphee@nsnews.com

Wales-based, Deep Cove native Tyler Keevil was describing his continued return to the Paciﬁc Northwest in his writing at a reading held at the Aberystwyth Arts Centre Bookshop in West Wales when an audience member raised her hand. “‘It sounds like you’re talking about ‘hiraeth,’” Keevil, 35, recalls her saying. Unfamiliar with the Welsh term, the author asked the woman to explain. “Hiraeth,” which lacks an English translation, speaks to, “a form of yearning or longing for something that’s lost or for the homeland in a way,” says Keevil. “I think a lot of my work grows out of that, about the fact that I have left home, but I’m continually looking back

towards it.” “Even though I’ve been living over here for 10 years I ﬁnd, artistically, I’m always drawn back home. Maybe it’s . . . out of a sense of homesickness or nostalgia,” he adds. Vancouver and its surrounding area features prominently in all of Keevil’s books to date. His ﬁrst novel, Fireball, is a coming of age story set on the North Shore. Published in 2013 The Drive is a comedic road trip novel that begins in Vancouver before the action heads south to the American Northwest through California. And his latest release, Burrard Inlet, a collection of short stories published in the spring, features a series of tales set in or around the Lower Mainland. Keevil was recently awarded for one of the Burrard Inlet works, for which he received the

Writers’ Trust/McClelland & Stewart 2014 Journey Prize for “Sealskin,” a short story set in a Vancouver ﬁsh processing plant. Keevil received the Writers’ Trust of Canada nod, worth $10,000, at the Writers’ Trust Awards held Nov. 4, 2014 at Toronto’s Glenn Gould Studio. A total of $139,000 was given to Canadian writers that evening, including Miriam Toews, who received the $25,000 Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize for All My Puny Sorrows. Toews previously won for The Flying Troutmans in 2008. Ken Babstock received the inaugural Latner Writers’ Trust Poetry Prize worth $25,000. The Writers’ Trust is a charitable organization seeking to advance and celebrate Canadian writers and writing through a variety of programs, including literary awards, ﬁnancial grants, scholarships and a writers’ retreat.

Summer job inspired the short story From page 24 According to the organization, the Journey Prize is awarded each year to a developing writer for the best short story published in a Canadian literary publication. It’s made possible thanks to the donated Canadian royalties from James A. Michener’s 1988 novel, Journey. “Sealskin” was ﬁrst published in Nelson, B.C.’s The New Orphic Review and also appears in The Journey Prize Stories 26 in addition to Burrard Inlet. This year’s Journey Prize ﬁnalists included Vancouver’s Lori McNulty for “Monsoon Season,” and CleaYoung for “Juvenile.” Both received $1,000. Keevil is no stranger to

really gratifying,” he says. Born in Edmonton, Keevil moved to Vancouver at age eight. His family moved to Deep Cove when he was 12, and he attended Seycove secondary. “That’s always been home ever since,” he says of North Vancouver, where his parents, and sister and brother-in-law reside. Currently he lives in Abergavenny, Wales, United Kingdom with his wife, Naomi, and their two-anda-half-year-old son Daniel. The couple met when Keevil, an English student at the University of British Columbia was on exchange at Lancaster University. They are expecting their second child at the end of April.

He received the 2011 Media Wales People’s Prize for Fireball and The Drive was shortlisted for the 2014 Wales Book of the Year, going on to receive the Wales Book of theYear People’s Choice Award. Being honoured in his native country with the Journey Prize was an important milestone. “It was so nice to have some recognition in Canada and to be able to go back there for the ceremony, and to meet a lot of people in the Canadian publishing scene was a wonderful opportunity and

later you start to play what I call, ‘The what if game.’ And you think, ‘Oh what if that had happened and if that had happened then what if this had happened as a result of it?’ So you start to build a ﬁctional narrative on to the real memory imprint that you have, if that makes sense,” he says. “And that’s the case for a lot of my work. And I think for me it’s usually important to be able to draw on experiences, but then ﬁctionalize and fabricate on them so you don’t cling to the experience, you don’t only write autobiographically, but neither do you totally make things up. It’s this blending of experience with imagination that can create an authentic piece of work, but also one that’s got a strong story and a strong narrative in it,” he says. In addition to his writing, Keevil teaches creative writing at the University of Gloucestershire in Cheltenham, England. He’s grateful for the teachers and mentors he’s had over the years, starting at Seycove, then at UBC and while working at Theatr Powys, a Mid Wales community theatre education company that also employed his wife. From a young age, he’s been encouraged to follow a creative path, and mentors instilled a passion for story, drama and narrative that still guides

him today. Now, he works to do the same for his own student charges. “You remember that when you set foot in the classroom and you think you do have this responsibility as well with young people.You want to inspire them, you want to set the fire going and pass that on,” he says. Something else that continues to drive Keevil is the perspective gained over the years that story is a meaning-making mechanism. “We use story to make sense of our lives and our place in the world and I think that’s so hugely important and that will never fade and we’ll always need it. We need fiction, we need stories, we need to make sense of the chaos of our lives and we do that through narrative,” he says. For Keevil’s next work, he once again plans to set it in Vancouver, this time crafting a novel telling a sibling story. However only time will tell what comes to fruition. “I was joking with my students the other day that I tend to have an idea I really pursue that I think is going to be wonderful and it doesn’t work. And then, out of the ashes an idea, a new book arises, and that happened with my first novel and that happened with The Drive. It seems to be I write one kind of dead book and then something leaps out of it that I didn’t expect, kind of sideways,”

Keevil worked a wide array of odd jobs, both in Canada and the United Kingdom, including as a tree-planter in northern B.C. and a deckhand on an ice barge. In his early 20s, he worked as a labourer for one summer at the Vancouver Canfisco shipyards fish processing plant at the foot of Gore Avenue. His stint inspired the setting for “Sealskin.” The award-winning short story is described as portraying a terrible act of cruelty that forces the tensions between two workers at a fish processing plant to spill out into the surrounding waters. Journey Prize judges had this to say about the work: “Tyler Keevil’s ‘Sealskin’ is a stunner: straightforward and unadorned, but humming with subsurface power. . . . Keevil has accomplished something rare: a story about rough masculinity that brims with emotion and pathos.” While geography and accuracy of location have always been important to Keevil as a writer, he’s quick to issue a disclaimer, “Sealskin” is not a true story. “A lot of the time for me, writing, you do draw on experiences in that being able to build the set and the feelings of those long days and the arduous labour in the summer heat, next to the smell of that plant,” he says. “And all of that percolates over time and then revisiting it years

Strait of Georgia the sea among us ■ The Sea Among Us by Richard Beamish and Gordon McFarlane Harbour Publishing, 400 pages, $39.95. It is the water that surrounds us and deﬁnes our land.The Strait of Georgia is a third the size of Lake Ontario, the smallest of the Great Lakes, but it is one of the world’s great inland seas. Contained by the mainland’s coastline and the eastern shore of Vancouver Island it borders the homes of two thirds of the population of British Columbia. Its future is largely in our hands and

knowing its history is an excellent starting point for British Columbians to appreciate the importance of protecting this waterway. In this comprehensive book all aspects of the Strait are looked at, starting with the geological makeup of the region.The ﬁrst half of the book delves into the science aspect, while the People and Industry are the focus of the second part. The ocean, marine life, coastal birds, native people, history of the ﬁsheries are some of the ten subjects that are examined in depth. Authors Beamish and

McFarlane, experts in their ﬁelds of Zoology and marine biological research, have brought in ten contributors to share their knowledge on the details of these topics. Colour photographs, charts and illustrations elaborate on the information to make this educational book excel. — Terry Peters

Book explores 10 unique lives Fashion writer turns her attention to storytelling

CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

FASHION FILE Our weekly roundup of fashion and beauty events and activities. page 29

If Marilyn R. Wilson’s closet could talk, it would tell some fascinating tales. She estimates about three quarters of her wardrobe is comprised of garments created by designers she has either met or interviewed in the 10 years she has been writing about fashion. For Wilson, a Richmond resident, covering the fashion industry has always been about more than luxury labels and seasonal trends. It’s about the people behind the clothing and the stories they tell through their designs. “It’s always the people,” she says. “And in general, I ﬁnd artists can be some of most intriguing people to interview.” Inspired by the many stories she has heard at home and abroad, Wilson decided to compile 10 of her most memorable interviews into a book. Life Outside the Box was published by North Vancouver’s Inﬂuence Publishing and will be available for purchase as of Feb. 1. Seven chapters feature people Wilson has interviewed in the past — from U.S. luxury shoe designer Ruthie Davis to Norwegian perfumer Geir Ness to textile artist and eco-fashion designer Katherine Soucie. The other three chapters are based on new interviews

with spoken word artist Shane Koyczan, Beauty Night Society founder Caroline MacGillivray and the North Shore’s Julie Salisbury, founder of Influence Publishing, who walked away from a successful career in product development in the U.K. to live on a boat for seven years before launching her current business. Though the stories differ wildly, they all focus on passionate individuals who have overcome roadblocks on their respective paths to success. “It is supposed to give you permission to be unique, to not fit the mould, to define your success individually,” Wilson says of her book. Life Outside the Box is Wilson’s first book and the culmination of 18 months at the keyboard. Her writing career started 10 years ago when she answered a Craigslist posting seeking contributors for a New York magazine. That job opportunity fell through but, in the process, Wilson connected with a local photographer and ended up launching Fame’d Magazine, a Vancouverbased online and print publication that profiled professionals working in the fashion industry: designers, stylists, hair and makeup artists, pattern drafters, design schools, event planners and students. After four and a half

Meanwhile, Wilson was also working as an editor and writer for New York-based online fashion publication Raine Magazine — a position she still holds

— and freelancing for other publications. But she was craving something more. “I began to want to move beyond fashion and I really wanted to tell life stories. That’s what I love, I love interviewing,” she

says. “I happened to just stumble into a women’s networking event one night where Julie from Inﬂuence Publishing was speaking and from the moment she See Book page 29

Book launch party doubles as author’s birthday bash From page 27 started speaking I teared up. I just knew this was the person I needed to work with.” As a hybrid publisher, Wilson says Inﬂuence represented the perfect balance between selfpublishing and traditional publishing. “Hybrid publishing gives you that happy middle space where you keep the rights to your book, but you control the costs and you get support.” Accustomed to writing magazine articles, Wilson says the process of authoring a 200-page book was quite different from what she knew. With magazines, she would often ﬁnd herself having to cut a 1,700-word piece down to a lean 800 words. But writing chapters for Life Outside the Box presented the opposite challenge. “When I signed the contract for this book, I truly felt it would not be a problem to write 5,500

words on each person,” she recalls. The first day she sat down at her keyboard, though, she maxed out at 2,000. “It was a really rude awakening.” It meant having to go back and re-interview most of her subjects to get more details, personal anecdotes and the type of content that would allow the 10 stories to flow from chapter to chapter. “There was a lot of panicky moments wondering if I would figure

it out,” she says, but adds that by chapter six she found herself getting the hang of things. “Writing is a very lonely process and then you throw yourself out there in the world hoping people will like it.” The Life Outside the Box book launch event, which coincides with a milestone birthday for Wilson, will take place Wednesday, Jan. 21 from 6:45 to 9:30 p.m. at FanClub in downtown Vancouver and feature a number of live performances. “It is meant to be not a book launch in the standard sense. It’s meant to be a celebration with the community that kept patting me on the back and saying, ‘You can do this, you can ﬁnish, I’ll buy your book.’” Tickets and info can be found at eventbrite.ca by searching “Life Outside the Box.” Life Outside the Box will be available for sale Feb. 1 at amazon.ca and barnesandnoble.com.

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Eagle Mountain – Woodfibre Gas Pipeline Project Open House and Invitation to Comment FortisBC (Proponent) is proposing to expand a portion of its existing Vancouver Island natural gas transmission system (proposed Project). The Project would involve installing about 47 km of 24” natural gas pipeline starting about 35 km north of Coquitlam to the Woodfibre industrial site outside of Squamish, upgrading two of the Proponent’s existing compressor stations and building a new compressor station in Squamish. The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act.

The intention of seeking public comments is to ensure that all potential effects – environmental, economic, social, heritage and health – that might result from the proposed Project are identified for consideration as part of the assessment process.

electronic drums. And like his character, he has been in a wheelchair since sustaining a traumatic spinal cord injury as a result of a diving accident. But that’s where their similarities end. “Jonathan’s experience in the play, other than his injury, is mostly ﬁctionalized,” Foss says.Through his monologue, Jonathan reﬂects candidly on his life, his identity, his relationships and his disability. “The audience, through the intimacy of the character, they get to see that they’re not so different and we’re all really just doing the same thing.We’re trying to move forward, we’re trying to heal,

CP<Ba)UXW% G"8<' /.'' we’re trying to ﬁnd some kind of grounding in life.” Although Symington has spent a lot of time on stage as a drummer in bands, he had never acted before Foss, his longtime friend and colleague, approached him

with the opportunity. “He really jumped in and he’s really found that he kind of loves it,” Foss says. “Dave has quite a capacity to connect, almost immediately, with this character.” Because Re-calculating was written to create awareness and equity, Foss says casting an able-boded actor as Jonathan would not have the intended impact. “I really felt that the audience would feel tricked and that audience members who have a disability might be very reactive to that.” Foss started working with adults with disabilities in 1976. His interest in the ﬁeld of disability services was sparked while he was an undergrad at Carleton

University.Working a summer job at the telephone company, Foss frequented a nearby pool hall on his lunch breaks and would often see two elderly men talking in sign language while they ate by the window. “I just thought that was very interesting and I’d never seen anything like that,” he recalls. So, he started taking American Sign Language lessons and, after ﬁnishing his degree, he began working with deaf and hard-ofhearing adults inWinnipeg, kicking off a long career as a service provider for adults with disabilities. In more recent years, Foss built another career as an actor and writer. He wrote his ﬁrst play, LittleVoices,

in 1999 and it went on to win the 2013 Playwrights Guild of Canada Comedy Award. Foss also performs in the solo show, which he presented most recently at Presentation HouseTheatre last fall. When the curtain closes on this new production of Re-calculating, Foss is hopeful that members of the audience will have learned to see the person before the disability. “There’s a permission that’s given from the play so the next time they see or have an experience with someone with a disability, they don’t have to be nervous or judgmental,” he says. “I’m going to be very interested to see how audiences react.”

Recorded new album at secluded beach house From page 13 it ﬂoods me with one feeling. It’s all just one colour, and I don’t need to necessarily know all the words.” Most of the album was recorded in relative seclusion at a beach house not far from Auckland, New Zealand. The house was empty except for the echoes when McLashan showed up with a laptop, a microphone and a preamp — and went to work nailing all the sheets and blankets to the walls. “It was like being a child and building a castle out of all the bedding in the house.” He reveled in splendid isolation, rewriting the lyrics and recording vocals, but something was missing from his “log cabin” sessions. “Although I was really enjoying the recording

process, some of the songs were a bit more social than that and they needed a bit more joy in them.” The album’s sociability is added by Tom Rodwell’s guitar. Rodwell fades into the background on the album’s slower songs, adding gentle, tumbleweed-like twangs on the ballads and thick licks on the up-tempo tracks. “It was a pretty piecemeal affair but that’s what it needed because I think I was trying to make a personal album,” McGlashan says. It was so personal that McGlashan’s daughter was the only one he trusted to listen to it. “I was very wary of playing it to anybody because I didn’t want to be too swayed by them,” he says. “My insecurities are in great shape . . . and they can be swayed easily.”

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE

to THE ROAD

2015 Dodge Journey

Family life is in the Journey

Brendan McAleer

Grinding Gears

They say that life is in the journey, not the destination. Well, Dodge might be asking you to take a fairly literal interpretation of that saying with their familysized crossover, a threerow replacement for the venerable Caravan minivan. That’s right, the Caravan is no more.You’ll still be able to buy a Chrysler Town and Country, but as for the inexpensive van that got all kinds of Canadian families to hockey practice, soccer practice, dance recitals, and piano lessons, sliding doors are on their way out. Minivans as a segment are in a slow decline as more young parents try to avoid looking like their parents. Thus, the rise of crossovers like these, which aren’t as thirsty as the old body-on-frame SUVs that once dominated the road but still have some of that rugged image. Problem is, they’re usually compromised in one way or another, trying to be both cargo-hauler and still retain a modicum of street cred. So, how does the Journey fare? Let’s wrestle in a couple of car seats and ﬁnd out.

(.6<B5' B."NX -<)\N%' 6.N5% a<N% %. P..Q PUQ\ %W\U) -<)\N%'?

That big Dodge crosshair grille has presence, and the curved bar that’s meant to imitate a lightbar/skidplate combo looks ready to ram its way through the nearest snow bank. From other angles, the main impression is one of useful boxiness.That’s great — if the old Caravan didn’t have much to recommend it as a status symbol, it was at the very least extremely

practical.The Journey has much better ground clearance, of course, but it’s still got the same squaredoff lines, and doesn’t appear over-styled at the rear, favouring function over form. Environment Inside the cabin, yes indeed, it’s quite roomy. There are three rows of seats here, but the rear is really only a jumpseat for temporary soccer team carpool duty. However, the ﬁrst two rows have plenty of space for passengers, whether they ride in Gap khakis or in a rear-facing

child seat. What’s more, there are cubbies aplenty hidden all over the place, more nooks and crannies than you’d ﬁnd in the Millennium Falcon. The glovebox isn’t especially huge, but there’s a bin under the passenger’s seat, and two more under the ﬂoorboards on each side in the back. Emergency snacks, backup Lego for long ferry waits, or maybe just a diaper emergency kit? That’s up to you, just be aware you can’t really access them when on the move. Rear seat passengers also have access to a conventional household plug and 12-volt

power outlet for charging electronic devices. My tester also came with the $1,200 rear video entertainment group, but given that most young kids these days have iPad minis and the like for much less than that, know that there are enough outlets to keep everybody charged and quiet. For the driver, the Journey’s dashboard is a very plain affair, almost completely without ornamentation except for the 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen.This controls everything in the car See Journey page 40

TODAY’S DRIVE Braking News

Get excited about mid-engined Corvette again! Maybe! BRENDAN MCALEER ContributingWriter

A biweekly roundup of automotive news, good, bad and just plain weird: The mid-engined Corvette is real We start our ﬁrst Braking News of 2015 with a rumour that’s been around as long as the exclamation point. “Midengined Corvette! Read all about it inside! Page 64!” If you’ve ever seen something like this proudly emblazoned on the cover of Road & Track or Car and Driver, right in front of an improbablelooking sketch or digital rendering, then you’re probably bored of all the speculation. The buff books have been crying wolf for so long that the most recent round of claims was ridiculed, scoffed-at, and basically ignored. Um. Looks like even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Recent photographs from Car and Driver (they appear to be taken using a drone) show a pickup-truck-looking test vehicle, clad all in black, with the cabin of a current Corvette, the front clip of an Australian Holden, and an undoubtedly midship engine mounting. It’s got a huge wing and looks riveted together, so this thing’s a long way from production yet, but it looks like the rumours of a mid-engined nextgeneration Corvette are real this time. Those rumours indicate that the C8 (eighth-gen ‘Vette) will be shorter, smaller, lighter, and have a smaller engine. It’s reportedly going to be called the Zora, after Zora Arkus-Duntov, widely considered to be the father of the original ‘Vette. Expect the new ‘Vette to upset the purists starting sometime around 2017. Until then, keep your eyes peeled for more leaks.

Dodge launches one-ofone custom paint option for Viper With the supercharged Z06 currently kicking heads all over the track, the mighty Dodge Viper is struggling to maintain relevance. It doesn’t help that the only Dodges anyone wants to talk about are the Hellcat twins. So what’s a company to do? Discount the heck out of their 8.0litre sledgehammer? They’ve already done that, dropping the Viper’s price signiﬁcantly. OK then, what about making the buying process a little more special. This is a really unique idea, and one we might start seeing elsewhere. If you buy a Viper GTC, you get to pick your own colour combo from 8,000 different options for paint, 24,000 different stripes, 10 different wheels, 16 interiors, and a half-dozen aerodynamic kits. And when I say “your own,” I mean it. No two Viper GTCs will be allowed to be

built the same. The order process is pretty great: you get a swatch showing your paint choice, then a 1:18-scale model, and then the car is painted just the way you like it, with no one else allowed to order the same car.You’ll be able to follow through the whole process online, with constant updates as the car approaches readiness. Now, obviously not everyone’s in the market for a Viper, but as mass production keeps ﬁnding ways to customize on a large scale, it might not be all that long before buying a new car allows you to have the same experience when ordering your MX-5 or Mustang. It’s a creative solution to make a car more special, and it’ll be nice to see more of it in the future. Lower speed limits cause fewer pedestrian deaths in NYC NewYork, the big apple. “Hey, I’m walkin’ heah!” delivered in a strong

4MATIC for Canada.

Brooklyn accent. That sort of thing. In a well-of-course-it-did report, looks like NYC’s plan to reduce pedestrian fatalities by dropping the speed limit ﬁve miles per hour actually worked, with fatalities dropping from 180 in 2013 to 132 in 2014. That’s still a long way to the zero deaths claimed as a goal for 2024, but it’s certainly an improvement. There are other factors at play here, including increased police presence at crosswalks and more tickets for failing to yield to pedestrians, but it looks like the plan is working. You have to wonder if lessons learned in one of the densest cities in the world might be applied to our own area.Vancouver’s fatality ratings are a tenth that of NYC, so perhaps we might be able to reach zero before they do. Toyota shows 2016 Tacoma ahead of debut Vipers and ‘Vettes are all well and good, but here

on the North Shore we love our small pickups.The current Tacoma is so long in the tooth it qualiﬁes as a sabre-tooth tiger these days, but not to worry, here comes the refreshed version. And it’s! Pretty much the same. Not much you can do with a truck, it seems, and the new Toyota doesn’t look like it’ll surprise much. However, it’s what’s under the skin that counts, and the rumour is the updated 270 horsepower, 4.0-litre V-6 from the 4Runner will likely migrate over. It’d be great to see an extra gear in the transmission too, but don’t be surprised if the ﬁve-speed hangs around as the automatic option. Here’s hoping the six-speed manual is still an option too.

TODAY’S DRIVE

Journey is nice, and that’s not an insult

From page 38 including the heated steering wheel — always a nice touch when the thermometer starts dropping — and is very easy to navigate through. Uconnect’s voice command is better than some other options out there, and its display is large enough not to distract too much from the task at hand.

Performance The Journey comes with two engine options: a 2.4-litre four-cylinder making 173 horsepower and Chrysler/Dodge’s ubiquitous 3.6-litre V-6, which puts out a distinctly healthier 283 h.p. All-wheel drive is only available with V-6 models, and the base four-cylinder comes mated to a four-speed automatic transmission — pretty outdated technology. On the other hand, the V-6 and AWD tester had more than enough shove for passing and highway onramps, even when loaded up with the entire family and all the cargo needed to spend a few days travelling. The six-speed automatic is a bit rough in engagement, especially when cold, but the ride and handling are quite good, even on a winding country road. You don’t really hustle a car with a small child strapped in the back, not if you don’t want to end up hosing vomit out of the backseats, so for slow and smooth driving with some

kid-friendly tunes on the stereo, the Journey proves agreeable. Grip from the all-wheel-drive system was perfectly acceptable on slippery roads, and at-speed on the highway, wind noise wasn’t really an issue. “Nice” can be a bit of an epithet, but apart from a slight tendency to lurch when called upon to shift quickly, the Journey’s unremarkable ride, handling, and performance blended into the background, just what you want in a family vehicle. It didn’t thrill, but neither did anyone complain.

Features Being a high-level trim priced north of $33,000, my Crossroads tester came with every conceivable feature. Leather seats were heated up front, there was the aforementioned heated steering wheel, and everyone had a chance to ﬁddle with the temperature with threezone automatic climate control. I’d probably give the optional DVD system a miss, but the satellite navigation and backup camera package are probably a must-check at this level. Both were very easy to use, as was the streaming Bluetooth audio and handsfree phone operation. Fuel economy for allwheel drive and the V-6 get See Sliding page 42

If you have a passion for two wheels then Abbotsford’s Tradex is the place to be next weekend. The 2015 Vancouver Motorcycle Show is on Jan. 23-25 with the world’s top manufacturers showcasing their latest models. Alongside the wide range of motorcycles are a huge selection of accessories, clothing and all manner of related presentations. This year one of the must-see bikes will be the Kawasaki Ninja H2. A 998 cc supercharged in-line engine powers this bike that looks like it just rolled off

the track. Harley-Davidson is bringing its Project Livewire, the ﬁrst Harley with an electric motor, and Ducati offers a look at their revitalized Scrambler line, a retro-styled 830 cc model that combines modern technology with 1970s cool. BMW, Honda, Suzuki, Triumph,Yamaha and more will all be there, along with displays of vintage bikes. Your chance to throw your leg over that bike you’ve been lusting after will be waiting for you at the Motorcycle Show. — Terry Peters

Competitor Nissan Rogue ($23,798) Available only with a four-cylinder engine, but with seven-seats and allwheel drive on the table, the new Nissan Rogue is currently a hot seller in the crossover market. Like the Journey, those third-row seats are emergency-only, but they’re there when you need them. Step up to the SL trim, and the Rogue and Journey go toe-to-toe on features and pricing. However, the Dodge has the power advantage with that V-6, and the Nissan has the better fuel economy with a four-cylinder and CVT combination.
