Dry spell brings rash of brush fires Firefighters plead for caution as extreme fire risk sets in
BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
Extremely dry conditions and careless behaviour have the local and provincial firefighters pleading for public caution as risk of wildfires grows. West Vancouver firefighters have put out
12 brush fires in eight days and conditions are set to get worse before they get better. “The North Shore looks predominantly extreme except for the very point that goes out to B.C. Ferries’ (terminal) at Horseshoe Bay,” said Marg Drysdale, fire information officer with the Coastal
Fire Centre. It so happens that was the location of a stubborn brushfire that threatened to become something far worse on Tuesday afternoon. West Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services and the province’s Wildfire Management Branch were on the scene just north of Horseshoe Bay overnight, working to tamp down the blaze. “They’re hitting the hot spots, digging, turning
up the dust and soaking it down, just making sure we don’t get a rekindle,” said assistant fire chief Jeff Bush on Wednesday afternoon. The fire spread to an area of more than nine square metres and threatened to become a “Rank 3” as it was starting to burn up the trees, Bush added. Had conditions been much dryer — and they currently are getting worse by the day — “it would have gone up like there’s no tomorrow,” Bush
much warmer than normal conditions for this time of the year, according to Environment Canada meteorologist Andre Besson. Temperatures are expected to reach the low 30s Celsius over inland sections of the Lower Mainland and the high 20s closer to the water. And if you want to be reminded what 40 C feels like, you can head to the Interior.
said. With no natural causes likely, the Horseshoe Bay fire, like all the others, was almost certainly caused by a flicked cigarette or other improperly discarded smoking material. “There’ve been several fires where we’ve found the remains of cigarette filters,” Bush said. Making matters worse, another ridge of high pressure is blowing in from the western United States, bringing with it

Seaspan starts on federal ships JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com
Workers at North Vancouver’s Seaspan shipyards are finally down to cutting steel for the first of the federal government’s non-combat vessels. Construction officially began on the first of three fisheries science vessels this week, a milestone that was celebrated by both shipyard workers and federal politicians in North Vancouver Wednesday. Seaspan recently signed a contract to build the first three ships for a maximum price of $514 million. North Vancouver MP Andrew Saxton announced the first of those ships, to be finished in the spring of 2017, will be named Sir John Franklin, in honour of the See 15 page 9

Int’l student fees boost SD44 coffers
Fees from overseas students help balance budget for next school year JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com
The West Vancouver School District has passed a balanced “status quo” budget for the 2015/2016 year, but administrators warn that’s heavily dependent on revenue from international students plus a large chunk of surplus from previous years. About 16 per cent of the school district’s revenue comes from locally generated cash,
including $8.4 million from fee-paying international students and $1.5 million from specialized fee-based sports academies, band classes, leases and earned interest. Without that cash, the school district wouldn’t be able to offer the same programs, administrators said. Even with the money, the school district will have to spend $1.9 million in accumulated surplus next year to balance its approximately $67-million operating budget.
F;PP 428]5WR3]R)]R3 <Y5W4 e]RR])a% ^h`E` FD^^dg9; The operating grant from the province, including money based on student enrolment plus an amount for the teachers’ negotiated wage increase, is expected to be $55.2
million for the next school year. Salaries and benefits make up 88 per cent of the operating budget. This year, the province ordered all school districts to cut an extra amount in “administrative savings” from their budgets. In West Vancouver, administrators have earmarked $537,000 in cuts — $334,000 has been chopped from the 2015/16 budget while the rest will be taken out of the 2016/17 budget. Among the items cut are a transportation subsidy for international students, various computer hardware and software upgrades, vehicle purchases,
retirement gifts and school trustee travel expenses. A temporary administrative clerk’s job has also not been renewed. Schools superintendent Chris Kennedy said enrolment in the school district is expected to remain relatively stable next year at about 7,200 students. That includes about 550 international students. Kennedy said one noticeable trend is that while international students typically used to stay only one year, “now students are wanting to stay multiple years and graduate.” Kennedy said fees from overseas students help provide programs for local
students. “We are definitely reliant on international education” to balance the budget, he said. “Those monies have become part of our core budget process.” The North Vancouver School District, with about twice the number of students as West Vancouver, has also managed to nip and tuck its way to a balanced operating budget of just under $145 million for the next school year. The budget for North Vancouver schools also relies on locally generated revenue, including money from international students and sports academies. North Vancouver also used $1.9 million in surplus to balance its budget.
Campfire ban starts at noon Saturday From page 3 More than heat and dryness, the weather system brings another unwanted risk. “Eventually that ridge will break down and we’re looking at very unstable conditions with potential for dry lightning at the end of this warm spell,” Bessson said. Smoking is not allowed in West Vancouver or Metro Vancouver parks and charcoal barbecues and fireworks have been banned during the dry period. As of noon on Saturday, all campfires on Crown land in the backcountry are also prohibited. Violating the ban can result in a $345-ticket, a fine ranging between $10,000 and $100,000 or a year in jail. If an illegal fire contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible may be held ordered to pay the entire cost of fighting the fire. Beyond urging residents to only dispose of smoking material in ashtrays, Bush is asking the public for vigilance. “If you see smoke in the wild areas, call us immediately. If we can get a jump on a fire in its early stages, that makes our job a lot easier,” he said. Metro Vancouver isn’t yet considering closing any of its backcountry hiking trails, but staff are monitoring the weather and fire risk.

Bosa Development has been given the go-ahead to redevelop the Lynn Valley mall, though it’s likely more than a year before the wrecking ball will start swinging. District of North Vancouver council voted unanimously June 15 to issue the development permit for Lynn Valley Centre, which will eventually include a 50,0000-square-foot commercial podium and 360 residential units in six
towers between four and 12 storeys in height. In exchange, the district is receiving $4.5 millionworth of community amenities in cash, affordable housing, public art and a widening of Lynn Valley Road at Highway 1. Under the timeframe presented to council, the eastern side of project along Mountain Highway will be the first to go under construction with 116 of the units being built between the winter of 2016 and the spring of 2018. The rest, including 244 units and the commercial
space where the old Zellers store once sat is slated to begin construction in the fall of 2016 and continue until the summer of 2018. The remainder of the mall will be renovated sometime after. Bosa has tweaked the project somewhat since winning its bid for rezoning in June 2014. The project will now have 39 fewer units and one of the towers will be one storey shorter.

chool’s now out for the summer. But not before the province delivered some end-of-term lessons in where its values lay. This spring, school boards were surprised to learn they’d have to make further budget cuts, in the form of “administrative savings.” For North Shore school boards that added up to more than $1 million. The province gives, and the province takes away. Mostly, however, the province has been taking. Except, apparently in very specialized areas. Recently, the education minister dug deep into his pockets and pulled out $150,000 in scholarships for students from China, South Korea and Japan to study in B.C. The move has prompted considerable questioning as a dubious use of taxpayer

dollars. Last time we checked, there was no lack of local students who could benefit from financial help. Our schools still struggle with program cuts and a lack of cash for things like seismic upgrades. And chances are, if you’re the type to send your kids across the Pacific to attend public school, money isn’t a factor. Symbolically, however, this indicates that B.C. schools are open for business. For the past decade, increasingly, that’s what school districts have become — businesses. Ones that must figure out to make money so they can pay for services that used to be paid by the province. That’s not supposed to be a main goal of the education system, but that’s what it’s become. If nothing else, where the province spends its cash is a good indication of who and what it values.

He was responsible for
many big homes, some in Pemberton Heights. My family lived on Philip Avenue, and was friendly with him.

He was also an alderman for the city, and a good friend of my wife’s parents, John and Carrie Cates, and probably

These readings are in excess of the legal limit of .08. His lawyer claimed that he had never taken the drug before. His doctor or pharmacist would have

warned him, or should have warned him, that the consumption of alcohol after taking the drug would not be wise. In any event the drug did not produce the over-the-limit blood alcohol readings. It is nice to know that he does good work to help at-risk youths and adults. This good work is negated by the fact that he is prepared to over-indulge in alcohol consumption, drive his vehicle and put other road users at risk. N. M. Spence West Vancouver

Real-estate speculation pushing prices out of reach Dear Editor: Lately there has been much discussion in the news about the effect of speculators and nonresidents on the price of housing in Vancouver city; however,Vancouver is not the only place this is happening. In North Vancouver, where high prices have already pushed so many of our young people to suburbs far from where they were raised, speculation is doing its part right here.Two doors down from me a house sold in February for $957,000. It’s an old-timer that has been rented out and has not benefited from any interior upgrades.This likely accounted for the comparatively low price it sold for. This week that house was relisted at $1.285 million.The new owners tore down a shed in the backyard, and did some minor landscape work, but based on the pictures in the listing the inside is as it was when they bought it just four months ago. In my opinion, this is precisely the type of activity that is the target of a suggested flipping tax, and I for one support the concept if it will deter people from buying houses just so they can make a quick profit.

VIEWPOINT
Electioneering starts well before writ drops The looming federal election is already shaping up to be one of the most intriguing, interesting and historical contests in decades. The official election campaign doesn’t begin until September, but it’s clear to anyone paying attention that the campaign has been underway for weeks, if not months, now. Last week, for example, saw Liberal leader Justin Trudeau hold a splashy news conference (the background being beaming and generally youthful party supporters) to outline his sweeping plans to essentially overhaul a democracy. He wants to change everything from how we elect governments to how Parliament is supposed to work to guaranteeing gender parity in cabinet to requiring Supreme Court justices to be bilingual.
Keith Baldrey
View from the Ledge Trudeau garnered a fair amount of media attention for his efforts, which must have taken some of the sting out of a series of opinion polls that showed his party slumping with the voters. Not to be outdone, Prime Minister Stephen Harper held his own big photo-op, this one involving him promising more than $2.5 billion in funding for Toronto’s
transit system. Nothing particularly new there, but it got the PM some headlines and photos showing him with Toronto Mayor John Tory and Finance Minister Joe Oliver, who just happens to be an MP in the Toronto area. Transit dollars are smart politics (which is why, as I have speculated in the past, Harper is likely to appear in Surrey between now and election day promising big bucks for that municipality’s proposed rapid transit lines). Meanwhile, the NDP’s Thomas Mulcair is basking in the sunshine that comes with leading a series of national opinion polls, as increasingly commentators are taking seriously the possibility that he could actually become the next prime minister if he can continue his steady ways (and Harper and

Pollster’s questioning astonishes
Dear Editor: I recently received a telephone call from an opinion polling company on the subject of the upcoming federal election. Regarding my riding of Burnaby North-Seymour, the young female pollster asked if I supported “1) Mike Little of the Conservative party,
2) Terry Beech of the Liberal party, 3) Carol of the NDP, or 4) Lynne of the Green party.” NDP candidate Carol Baird Ellan was the firstever female provincial court chief judge, and Lynne Quarmby of the Green party is an award-winning science researcher and
professor at SFU, but I guess as “girls” they don’t merit last names. Not only am I astonished that this could happen in this day and age, but I also wonder how questioning in this manner might skew the poll. Linda Bates North Vancouver
the Conservatives don’t seriously regain their footing, which seems to have disappeared recently). Something extremely unusual is happening here. For the first time ever, all three parties and their leaders are being taken seriously when it comes to who has the best shot at forming government. For decades, this has been a two-party conversation — the socalled “red door” or “blue door” options, meaning only the Liberals or the Conservatives ever had a realistic chance of winning an election. But now an “orange door” has emerged. Barring a complete political earthquake in voting patterns, the NDP has little chance of winning a majority government but it does have the real potential to win the most seats come October,
which means it may be able to form a minority government with the support of the Liberals. In British Columbia, things should be more interesting than usual when it comes to which seats will be won by which party. Frankly, most B.C. riding races lack drama on election night. Most are won by one particular party (generally, either the Conservatives or the NDP) by fairly comfortable margins. But this time things should be more exciting, to the point where eastern voters may be paying attention well into the evening as some B.C. races may go down to the wire with a number of ridings potentially changing hands. If the Conservative vote from 2011 does indeed slip from 2011 levels, and if NDP support also climbs a bit (a scenario
that seems to be a realistic possibility) it would appear that as many as 10 or so ridings may disappear from the Conservative camp and walk over to the NDP side. That would be a nearunprecedented redrawing of B.C.’s electoral map. Of course the campaign still has four more months to run. It’s likely most voters have yet to really start paying attention to the campaign, but that interest and focus will begin to intensify in the weeks ahead. It’s going to be fascinating to watch. No matter what the outcome, the result in October will be a profound one that may affect this country like few elections before it. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

15 yrs of work at shipyard From page 1
Arctic explorer.The wreck of one of Franklin’s ships, the Erebus, was found on the Arctic sea floor in September 2014. The other two fisheries vessels are expected to be finished later in 2017. The 55-metre vessels will be operated by the Canadian Coast Guard and used by fisheries scientists to do assessments of fish stocks and the marine ecosystem, as well as respond to marine emergencies. On Wednesday, workers at Seaspan flanked the first “production block,” which will become part of the first fisheries vessel built at the shipyard. Over the past two years, the shipyard has undergone a dramatic $155-million modernization project.To build the ships under Ottawa’s national shipbuilding program, the shipyard will operate more like a manufacturing plant, building huge modular pieces on what is essentially an assembly line, then putting those together. The workforce in the trades at the shipyard is expected to swell from about 200 currently to more than 500 workers over the course
of the next year and to over 1,000 once construction of the biggest joint supply ships gets underway. Diane Finley, minister of public works and government services, was on hand Wednesday to announce the start of construction on the non-combat shipbuilding program. Finley noted Ottawa will continue to work with Seaspan as the ships are built “to ensure that Canadian taxpayers get the best value for their money.” At $687 million, the total project budget for the three fisheries vessels is almost three times the original budget estimate for the project. Officials have said the original $244-million estimate, developed in 2004, didn’t contain provision for inflation, project management, engineering or design costs and didn’t include enough contingency. Under umbrella agreements between Ottawa and Seaspan, the North Vancouver shipyard is also slated to build one 78-metre offshore oceanographic science vessel, two massive 173-metre navy joint support ships, a polar icebreaker and up to 10 smaller Coast Guard vessels.That’s expected to provide about 15 years of work at the shipyard.
The federal government has estimated the value of that work at about $8 billion. On Wednesday, Saxton said that’s a significant boost for the local economy in the Lower Mainland. The federal government and Seaspan have yet to reach an agreement on contracts to build either the oceanographic science vessel or the two massive navy joint support ships. In 2013, both the parliamentary budget officer and the auditor general raised questions about whether the $2.6 billion set aside by Ottawa will be enough to build the two joint support ships. According to a report in the Ottawa Citizen this week, recent defence department documents have pointed to continuing concerns in Ottawa about possible construction delays and the potential for increased budget costs on the joint support ship project. Seaspan Shipyards president Brian Carter said as far as he’s concerned the non-combat ship schedule is “on time and on budget.” “We’re building ships right now,” said Carter. “We’re damn happy about that.” Seaspan is to begin construction on the mas-
sive joint support ships in late 2017 and finish them in 2020. Carter said the shipyard has more than enough capacity in its modernized shipyard to be finishing the coast guard/fisheries ships at the same time it’s starting work on the supply ships. The federal government has recently indicated it will also enter into talks with Davie Shipyard in Quebec about the possibility of retrofitting a commercial supply ship to provide a stopgap navy ship while the joint support ships are under construction at Seaspan. Some critics have pointed to that as a blatantly political move by the government to win support in Quebec ahead of the federal election in October.
Project intended to revitalize Lynn Valley

a long time coming for members of council who reflected on the years spent developing the official community plan, the Lynn Valley town centre plan and the design guidelines for the development. The process was rocky at times but ultimately, made for good compromise in the final design, council members noted. “I will say that I’m very pleased that we’ve finally arrived at a development permit for this project,” said Coun. Roger Bassam. “It just seemed to go on and on and on but ultimately, this is what the reward is. We’re going to

I’ll be even more excited when it’s done.” The project is intended to revitalize Lynn Valley. “Most people under 40 support it. A few of us older people support it as well,” said Coun. Robin Hicks, also a Lynn Valley resident. “It had a fairly volatile process but I think the end result is going to please everybody, even the doubters in the end.” After praising the design, Coun. Lisa Muri said the project will be a test of the district’s construction mitigation plans.

The City of North Vancouver is continuing to fight the decision to close theThird Street bus depot and move it to Burnaby. The city and Unifor local 111, the union bus drivers belong to, have been lobbying TransLink to find a new North Shore location so bus drivers won’t have to commute to Burnaby to collect and drop off buses each day and to ensure enough buses remain on the North Shore to serve the public in the event of a catastrophe that closes both of the main bridges to the North Shore. Transportation Minister Todd Stone wrote to Unifor local 111 leadership last month to say he acknowledged the problem, but that it wasn’t an issue for the province to solve. “I understand TransLink has reviewed options to avoid relocating buses to the Burnaby Transit Centre, but has not been successful in finding a new bus depot location on the North Shore to accommodate projected growth in service for the area,” he said. “As you are aware, TransLink is a regional transportation authority overseen by an independent board and decisions
EY] EYW5) F35]]3 )]8:3 W4 4T/3]) 3: +T:4] WR 3Y] \/TT :\ j"!N% 7gd9 ^h`E`
regarding the operation of the North Vancouver Transit Centre are outside the purview of the provincial government.” But that wasn’t satisfactory to members of city council. “I would say the province doesn’t seem to be shy in making transit or transportation decisions sometimes independent of TransLink,” said Coun. Don Bell, noting the plan to replace the Massey Tunnel with a bridge. A motion passed by council June 15 reaffirms the city’s concerns with the relocation plan and asks TransLink to resume active discussions with municipal staff.The motion also was intended to remind Stone of the council’s lack of ability to influence TransLink’s board of directors. “We don’t get a lot of input, if any at all,” Coun. Linda Buchanan said. The city spent years petitioning the province to build an overpass for Westview Avenue, always to
be told there was no money for it, Coun. Rod Clark added, until the province reversed course. “Don’t give up.That’s my advice,” Clark said. Mayor Darrell Mussatto stood by the comments made by his fellow council members and expressed both frustration and optimism. “Quite frankly I’m very surprised how our own minister doesn’t understand how TransLink and their unelected, unaccountable board works.We need to do all we can to help educate and keep the buses here on the North Shore. Hopefully this is one step in that direction,” he said. According to TransLink, buses that serve the North Shore will originate from the Burnaby Transit Centre about eight minutes from the Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing starting in the fall of 2016 and there should be no impact on bus service in North Vancouver as a result of the move.

Vikki Thorn has fond memories of Vancouver. It was here that her band,TheWaifs, made their North American debut in 2001.The Australian folk rock outfit was among the performers at the Folk Alliance International Conference, an annual event
described as the world’s largest gathering of members of the folk music industry. “That was really our breaking ground, was in Vancouver,” saysThorn. Within six months, the band was back, playing all the major festivals across Canada. “That was actually the most exciting time of our career, I think, that whole time we spent driving back and forth over Canada.We did the whole country,” says Thorn. From there,TheWaifs’ fan base continued to grow, both at home and abroad, leading to yet another major career highlight: touring both Australia and North America with Bob Dylan in 2003. This year, the members

Soon after, they connected with future band mate Josh Cunningham (guitar, vocals).TheWaifs have six albums under their belt, with a seventh on the way, set for release this fall. Following their last album, 2011’s Temptation, TheWaifs took a three-year hiatus, seeing members focus on their respective growing families. Last year, they

Project pays tribute to Cap U jazzman Ross Taggart
A musical legacy ■ JillTownsend Big Band CD release of Legacy:The Music of Ross Taggart, presented as part of the Vancouver International Jazz Festival June 30, 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. at Pyatt Hall at theVSO Tickets from $25. More info: coastaljazz.ca/jill_ townsend_big_band. MARIA SPITALE-LEISK mspitale-leisk@nsnews.com
Late, great jazz virtuoso and composer Ross Taggart’s final coda has yet to be played. The internationally renowned musician and Capilano University jazz instructor tragically passed away from renal cancer at age 45 in 2013 — but Taggart’s legacy will live on, in part through a special musical tribute being arranged by his friends in the tightknitVancouver jazz community. Arranging being the operative word. Taggart contributed his unparalleled piano and saxophone talents to a number of local jazz
ensembles including the celebrated JillTownsend Big Band. So, to pay tribute to their friend in music and life, Townsend and Co. took a carefully curated selection of worksTaggart composed — most of them designed for a quartet — and rearranged them for a big band. Legacy: the music of Ross Taggart will be unveiled by Jill Townsend Big Band at a CD release show Tuesday at Pyatt Hall, as part of theVancouver International Jazz festival. The performance will feature six Cap U jazz program instructors — Bill Coon, Dave Robbins, Dennis Esson, Brad Turner, Steve Kaldestad and Chad Makela, as well one alumnus, Cory Weeds — who round out the big band. ForWeeds, the mastermind behind the Taggart tribute, it’s been an emotional journey — from finding an outlet to mourn his mentor to working extra hard to elevate the music to Taggart’s level. A precocious pianist, Taggart was already well known on the Canadian jazz
scene at the tender age of 21 in the early ’90s. As fate would have it, a teenaged Weeds — who would later contribute greatly to Vancouver’s jazz history — wound up being billeted withTaggart at a music camp in Kelowna. “I had known about Ross. But for me . . . he was one of the most famous guys in the world to me. I mean, he was my hero,” recallsWeeds, in between rehearsals for the big tribute show next week. After that initial meeting, Taggart andWeeds went on to achieve tandem success in the jazz world.They became friends who often collaborated together. Weeds creditsTaggart, who had an insatiable appetite for the music, for introducing him to some of the jazz greats.When asked what invaluable lesson Taggart taught him,Weeds pauses and then offers, “Sometimes, hanging out with your mentor is less about what they show you and more about watching them.” WhenWeeds opened the
famous Cellar Jazz Club in Vancouver,Taggart soon became a fixture behind the piano, accompanying a revolving door of worldclass jazz artists. After Taggart passed away,Weeds, struggling to fill a huge void that his friend left behind, conceived the idea for a tribute album. “I came to the concept because I wasn’t satisfied with how I was mourning the loss of my friend. And I wasn’t sure why, because I was as close to Ross as anybody.This was my mourning process,” says Weeds. Legacy: the music of RossTaggart was perfected during a months-long gestation period, from the rehearsals right through to the recording with The Jill Townsend Big Band, and now that it’s ready for public consumptionWeeds has a chance to reflect on the emotional process. It started when three boxes containing Taggart’s compositions arrived from his ex-wife, fellow jazz pianist Sharon Minemoto, who
Taggart had continued to collaborate professionally with until he passed away. Receiving Taggart’s inventive works on that first day of the project were his longtime friends and collaborators including fellow Cap U jazz instructor Coon, who is alsoTownsend’s husband. As he thumbed through the compositions, the past couple jazz-filled decades of Coon’s life jumped out at him: these were treasured songs he had heardTaggart play or ones they had played together. “I think, emotionally, it was quite difficult to start the project. Opening these boxes . . . it felt touching a raw nerve,” says Coon. “We basically tried to take our favourite Ross Taggart tunes and arrange them.” It wasTaggart’s “Light at the end of the Tunnel” that struck a chord with Coon. “We (Taggart and Coon) performed this together maybe twice, and there’s something about the tune that was very poignant See Taggart page 15

because Ross had gone through some health issues and he felt that he was in a better place — and then he died,” explains Coon. “When he wrote it he thought life in general was giving him a break. It’s not a dance song. You can feel the hope and you can feel the pain in the song.” Weeds agrees with that assessment of “Light at the end of the Tunnel,” saying he cries whenever he listens to the song. As for the project as a whole,Weeds is more than pleased with how the tribute album turned out, and says Taggart would be proud of it. “I thought it was a very classy and tactful way to honour him and his legacy and to involve a lot of his friends and to feature his music. . . . ,” saysWeeds. “If Ross was alive, it was

Coon echoesWeeds’s sentiments, saying the over $23,000 in donations that rolled in from a Kickstarter campaign for the project
is indicative of the love the local jazz community had for Taggart. “This project became bigger than life in a way
— and I think that’s what is going to make nextTuesday so special,” explains Coon. Taggart will be remembered for more than just his eclectic jazz style that spanned bebop to the blues. He was also a natural comedian and practical jokester. “He had a hundred (jokes) at his fingertips,” recalls Coon. “The jokes were more for hanging around with musicians. He was more formal during his shows. So that side of him didn’t come off so much.” Undeniable was Taggart’s innate talent: “He was a virtuoso at both instruments,” says Coon. “He just had this gorgeous warm sound (on the saxophone) that to this day I have never heard anyone make that sound.” Audiences across North America, Latin America
and Europe were treated to Taggart’s incomparable sound.The humble musician, meanwhile, spent two years studying in New York City with saxophone legends George Coleman, Clifford Jordan and J.R. Monterose. Taggart was also a teacher, the kind that leaves an indelible mark on your life, according to Coon. “What you would hear secondhand from his students was how valuable the lessons were,” said Coon, recalling his colleague in the esteemed jazz studies program at Cap University. With the overlap between their day jobs and evening gigs Coon got to know Taggart quite well.

Meklit explores her sonic homelands San Franciscobased musician performing live inWestVan ■ Meklit Hadero performs Friday, June 26, 7:30 to 8:45 p.m. atWest Vancouver Memorial Library, 1950 Marine Dr., WestVancouver. Free. Presented by BlueShore Financial Centre for the Performing Arts in partnership with theTD Vancouver International Jazz Festival. CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com
The title track off of Meklit Hadero’s latest album We Are Alive is based on two different five-count rhythms, a traditional Sudanese beat and a Radiohead song. It’s a prime example of how the San Franciscobased musician blends the singer-songwriter tradition with elements of East African music, NewYork jazz, folk, soul and a medley of other influences. Meklit (known simply by her first name) was born in Ethiopia and raised in Brooklyn. She studied political science atYale University and has lived in the Bay area for more than a decade. “I think of the places that

I’ve lived as being also my sonic homelands,” she says, “and all of those sounds of the places that make up my history and make me who I am all come out in the music.” Meklit didn’t officially become a musician until she moved out west. Quickly drawn into San Francisco’s rich arts and entertainment scene, she started taking voice lessons and picked up
the guitar. Previous to her formal musical training, she had been known to croon on buses and in elevators as a child. “And in high school I would sing at the occasional event, or in college I would sing at an open mic or two — always an a cappella song.” The switch from political science student to professional singersongwriter was not the
“So, the transition from being a student of political science into being a musician was a slow one, but it’s also one that has a lot more through lines than I think it appears.” Meklit wrote her first song in 2005, around the time she fell in love with Brazilian musician Caetano Veloso’s song “O Leãozinho” which she thought was about a lion cub.
dramatic change of course it might sound like, Meklit explains. “I also took many classes in anthropology and literature,” she says, “basically I was just interested in the world and I was interested in learning how to learn.” Her critical analyses and ideas needed to be expressed somehow and music turned out to be a fitting outlet.
“Later I found out it’s about his son who’s a Leo, so actually I was wrong about the meaning, but it still led me to this insight that I carry with me all the time which is that we can write songs about whatever it is that happens to be inspiring us or moving us or making us curious or making us laugh.” While there is certainly a place for love songs, Melkit knows there is also a place for songs about reflection, our animal selves, and aspirations for the future. “Writing songs is like breathing,” she says. “It’s everything. It’s the whole range. It’s the tragic, it’s the comic, it’s the gorgeous, it’s the terrifying.” Though she was only two when her family left Ethiopia for the U.S., Meklit has returned to her home country many times and forged creative relationships with prominent figures in the Addis Ababa arts community. She co-founded the Nile Project with Egyptian ethno-musicologist Mina Girgis.The coalition brings musicians together from 11 countries in the Nile basin and just wrapped up a four-month U.S. tour with the group. “The music is just fantastic and being involved as a musician has been one of the most creatively exciting projects . . . it’s like being in a music school that doesn’t exist anywhere in the world,” See Meklit page 37

ASK THE HOME CARE EXPERTS Information on Independent Living
This year marks
Q: My mother passed away a few months ago and now we notice that my father is feeling a bit lonely. What can we do to help?
the 50th anniversary of our proud Canadian Flag.
It is very understandable that your father is feeling lonely, and finding it hard to make changes after having had a companion for so many years. Research has shown that feelings of loneliness and isolation can be twice as unhealthy as obesity for older people. This is because isolation can seriously impact both mental and physical health. In fact, studies have found a direct relation between chronic feelings of loneliness and increases in blood pressure and nutritional risk.
Happy Canada Day!
There are quite a lot of opportunities for seniors to socialise in most communities. You can start by checking into local recreation or senior centres. These places often have programs that cater to an individual’s interests – woodworking, social dancing, book clubs, bridge, etc. Look for activities your father has enjoyed in the past or is interested in trying. Families should also consider reaching out to neighbours. You’ll be pleasantly surprised to learn most people are all too willing to look in on your father. If he’s a member of a congregation, fellow parishioners are also eager to lend a hand. Private home care, such as Retire-At-Home, also provide companionship and home support services where a friendly, qualified person visits the home on a regularly scheduled basis. These visits help to alleviate feelings of social isolation and loneliness by helping with errands, meal preparation and household chores. While seniors are often resistant to this kind of assistance at first, once their familiarity with the caregiver grows, they look quite forward to the visits. Remember to start small and include your father in the process!

CANADA DAY 2015
ADVERTISING FEATURE
Canada Day marks the end of a 10 day celebration of our cultural diversity. Beginning on June 21 with National Aboriginal Day, Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day on June 24, Canadian Multiculturalism Day on June 27, and ending the festivities by showing our pride in our history, culture and achievements on July 1.
National Aboriginal Day, June 21 In cooperation with national Aboriginal organizations, the Government of Canada designated June 21 National Aboriginal Day. This date was chosen because it corresponds to the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, and because for generations, many Aboriginal groups have celebrated their culture and heritage at this time of year. National Aboriginal Day is a wonderful opportunity to become better acquainted with the cultural diversity of Inuit, Métis and First Nations peoples, discover the unique accomplishments of Aboriginal peoples in fields as varied as agriculture, the environment and the arts, and celebrate their significant contribution to Canadian society.
Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day, June 24 All across Canada, French Canadians express their cultural pride and rich heritage through colourful parades and lively parties on June 24 marking SaintJean-Baptiste Day. These festivities combine the ancient rites of the summer solstice - a period of light and hope - with the traditional celebration in honour of the Patron Saint of French Canadians.
PHOTOS DISTRICT OF WEST VANCOUVER
!! Celebration of Culture Canadian Multiculturalism Day, June 27 On November 13, 2002, the Government of Canada, by Royal Proclamation, designated June 27 of each year as Canadian Multiculturalism Day. Canadian Multiculturalism Day is an opportunity to celebrate our diversity and our commitment to democracy, equality and mutual respect and to appreciate the contributions of the various multicultural groups and communities to Canadian society.
Canada Day, July 1 We gather in our communities, from coast to coast to coast, and proudly celebrate all we have in common. It is an opportunity to celebrate our achievements, which were born in the audacious vision and shared values of our ancestors, and which are voiced in nearly all of the languages of the world through the contribution of new Canadians. Canada Day is a time to celebrate the heritage passed down to us through the works of our authors, poets, artists and performers. It is a time to rejoice in the discoveries of our scientific researchers, in the success of our entrepreneurs, and to commemorate our history - a history in which each new chapter reveals itself to be more touching, more fascinating than the last. As we look ahead, we have every reason to face the future with confidence and enthusiasm. To learn more, visit www.canadianheritage.gc.ca

The Rotary Club of Lions Gate invites you to celebrate Canada while waving your flag high and proud at this year’s annual Canada Day Celebration at Waterfront Park. Over the years, this event has grown into one of North Vancouver’s largest community events, and has been continuously dedicated to providing free and fun family activities for everyone to enjoy.

1900 Lonsdale Ave., North Van
The Rotary Club of Lions Gate has been hosting the Canada Day Celebration for 26 years, in which they have consistently aimed to honour special moments in Canadian history such as Queen Elizabeth’s II Diamond Jubilee in 2012. This year, we celebrate the flag and all that it represents – our freedom, our pride, and our strength as a nation. Not only does the Rotary Club celebrate monumental moments in history, it celebrates and supports initiatives to better our future by going green! In 2011, The RCLG began their partnership with Green Chair Recycling with hopes to reduce waste and promote conservation of the beautifully green community we live in. The success of this partnership has grown with each year. Last year, we achieved our goal of continuing to be a negative waste event. We were able to divert 200kg of waste from landfill and achieve a 108% diversion rate
– more than we have ever done before! This year, we hope to surpass our previous diversion rate and continue to make a difference in the environment. We encourage attendees to come on board with our initiative by bringing small household batteries and energy saving light bulbs to recycle; the Green Chair Recycling Team will be in attendance to help sort. Additionally, we have water stations courtesy of Amrak Water to fill up household water bottles to reduce the amount of plastic bottles being used. We hope that you will join us to help celebrate our country and the 50th anniversary of the Canadian Flag! We have organized an exciting day with a variety of entertainment, famous Vancouver food trucks, artisan crafts and activities suitable for all age groups! This event would not be possible without the hard work of our incredible volunteers and the generosity of our major supporters, including the City of North Vancouver, the District of North Vancouver, the government of Canada, and local businesses. The event will take place on Wednesday July 1st from 12:00-4:00pm at the picturesque Waterfront Park (200 Block of West Esplanade), which overlooks the downtown skyline. Take in the view while enjoying live entertainment, browsing the artisan craft market, participating in fun activities, or eating a delicious lunch!

Hats off to the Tilley family
CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com
“Oh, like the Tilley hat?” It’s a response Nikki Tilley is used to hearing when she tells people her last name. And yes, it is just like the ubiquitous brand of brimmed hats. Nikki, her brother Jeff, and their parents John and Barbara own and operate Tilley Endurables Western Inc. (often called Tilley Vancouver). Their 4,000-
Travel outfitter opened in North Vancouver basement 30 years ago
square-foot retail store, prominently located at the corner of Granville Street and West Eighth Avenue in Vancouver, sells a complete line of travel clothing and accessories — including the famous hats. The business got its start back in the early
1980s. Nikki’s uncle Alex (John’s brother) had developed a sailing hat and a pair of shorts that he began selling at trade shows in Eastern Canada and the U.S. John covered the western territory, marketing the products at boat shows
in B.C., Washington and Oregon. Things took off and on May 15, 1985 Barbara began welcoming customers by-appointment into the family’s Lynn Valley basement where she’d set up a makeshift retail space. Nikki and Jeff, who were just kids at the
time, had to play elsewhere when shoppers were over getting fitted for hats. A few months later, the North Shore Tilley family opened their first storefront on Pemberton Avenue, just south of Marine Drive. It was a tight space and the business moved a couple more times over the years (there was a spot on West Broadway in Vancouver and another on Marine See Second page 36

Drive in North Vancouver) before settling into its South Granville location, where it has been for about 20 years. The inventory has vastly expanded beyond the original “T1” hat. Today, the retailer offers a wide selection of pants, dresses, tops, jackets, socks, underwear and accessories, all practically designed with the world traveller in mind. “It’s all geared toward travel and adventure,” Nikki says. Thirty years since its humble beginnings, Tilley hats remain the core of the independent family business and Nikki estimates some 4,400 are sold each year. “The hats have changed shape a little bit. They now are sloped in the front and back to provide more sun protection,” she says, explaining there is also an evolving selection of hat styles, colours and fabrics to choose from. Most hats and caps come with a lifetime guarantee against wearing out. In
fact, at Tilley Vancouver’s 30-year anniversary party last month, one customer brought along a hat he purchased in 1986 — “and it still looks great!” Nikki says. More than simply a retail store, Tilley Vancouver has endeavoured over the years to create a community of travellers. Free packing seminars are offered regularly at the Granville Street store and customers often send in photos and “Tilley tales” from their vacations. On the other side of Canada, Alex Tilley has recently retired and sold his portion of the business, Toronto-based Tilley Endurables Inc., which manufactures and distributes the products. But Nikki says the company is continuing to operate as usual and the flagship Toronto retail store is still open. Here on the West Coast, as Barbara and John slowly move into retirement, Jeff and Nikki are preparing to take over. Fortunately, the siblings learned the ropes
early on. Nikki remembers tagging along to trade shows with her dad, braiding hat cords while sitting in the back of boats. “We grew up playing in the clothing racks,” she says, noting that her young children now do the same thing. Nikki and Jeff both worked in the store as teenagers. While Jeff stayed on with the family business over the years, Nikki took 10 years off to travel and go to school before finding her way back. Looking ahead to the next 30 years, she says Tilley Vancouver will continue to adapt to the ever-changing market and there are plans to introduce outside brands that complement the Tilley line. For example, Patagonia outerwear is coming this fall. Other plans include relocating the retail store once again, but there’s no word yet on where it might end up. “We’re actually going to be moving our store at the end of this year,” Nikki says. “We’re looking for a slightly bigger location.”

Meklit developed deeper ties with Ethiopian music From page 16 she says. “The idea is that music can be a model for the kind of relationships that we’d like to see our countries and our cultures having.” Ever evolving as an artist, Meklit recently stumbled upon a recording of one of her very first concerts and had a listen. “I think the main difference is that I started out almost entirely coming from a place of a singersongwriter. My first EP, Eight Songs, was just me and a guitar, and a few songs had cello on it.” Over the last decade, she says she has grown as a jazz singer and has developed an even deeper relationship with Ethiopian music, particularly Ethio-jazz.When she takes
the stage Friday night at West Vancouver Memorial Library, she will be joined by an upright bass player, drummer and trumpet player. “The live show for us is the real meat of what we do and why we do it and we love playing for the people and taking them through experiencing everything form very intimate songs to anthemic songs.” When Meklit sings in Amharic or plays East African melodies, it may sound unfamiliar to a North American audience, she says. “But then they feel the jazz and the blues that they understand and so it becomes this opening of an idea — the idea being maybe we don’t have to be strangers to each other.”

Jessica Shantz, 25, Dawson Creek, BC ECZEMA For six years, my family doctor and dermatologist tried many medications and creams.

Taggart the composer takes centre stage From page 15 amongst his enviable record collection which included just about every Duke Ellington album. Coon also struggled in the months afterTaggart’s death, channelling his grief into compositions inspired by his friend. He spent about a week and a half in Comox holed up in a studio apartment with a piano. “He (Ross) has inspired other music . . . in a larger sense his life inspires me, the way he interacted with
people, the intensity that he played with — those are the things that I am going to remember about him,” says Coon. As for what the audience can expect at the Taggart tribute concert, Coon said it will be a bit of an eye opener because many people knew what a great piano and saxophone player he was, but Ross the composer will be centre stage this time. “I really feel like the (Jill Townsend) band is really going to outdo themselves (in honour of Ross),” says

FILM
Max made with family in mind ■ Max. Directed and co-written by BoazYakin. Starring JoshWiggins, Lauren Graham,Thomas Haden Church and Jay Hernandez. Rating: 6 (out of 10)
JULIE CRAWFORD ContributingWriter
Just when it seems that kids are jaded beyond reckoning, when young people pray to the God of Wi-Fi and seemingly have no stronger relationship than the ones they share with their 830 Instagram followers, a movie is released reaffirming the fact that there is nothing quite as strong as the bond between a boy and his dog. Silent film star RinTin Tin started the legacy of cinematic canine ideal, while OldYeller is film’s most effective and most-parodied tear-jerker. Lassie is such an enduring icon that she has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, right between Ronald Reagan and Robert Young. And, here north of the border, the unflappable Littlest Hobo (introduced

There is plenty of suffering in Max. Surly teen JustinWincott (Josh Wiggins) is suffering from an inferiority complex: elder brother Kyle (Rob Amell) is a decorated Marine and one heck of a nice guy, mom and dad’s favourite.
But when Kyle is killed in action — a non-spoiler from the film’s trailer — the family inherits his precision-trained military dog Max. It’s a flip of the family dog welcoming the wounded warrior home: in this film it’s Max who comes home, suffering from PTSD, and who must be rehabilitated into society. Max is confused and aggressive upon his return,
deeply disturbed by what happened in Afghanistan, but Justin commits to getting him back on his four legs. It’s a small but significant step for a teen with troubles all his own. Unable to live up to his brother’s reputation and the expectations of his father (Thomas Haden Church), Justin has so far spent the summer ducking chores and selling bootleg video games.
Showtimes
At first Justin resents the dog. But new friend Carmen (Mia Xitlali) has a way with dogs and takes an interest in Max; Justin takes an interest in Mia, which adds extra motivation to get the dog back on his feet. Progress is slow but definite. “We’ve got the Air Jordan of dogs here!” one kid wonders at Max’s athleticism. All that grinds to a halt with the arrival ofTyler Harne (Luke Kleintank) Kyle’s friend and fellow Marine. Max reverts to his old ways withTyler’s reappearance, as does Justin: the wayTyler bonds with dad just reaffirms to Justin that he’ll never be good enough. “Dogs are pretty good judges of character,” is Carmen’s solemn understatement, and here’s where things switch to Scooby-Doo mode:Tyler is up to no good and the teens make it their mission to sniff out the bad guys and save the day. It seems a little cheap to use the war in Afghanistan as a manipulative device rather

really the initiative for getting back together again . . . last year,” saysThorn, reached from her current home base of southern Utah. Simpson resides in Australia and Cunningham splits his time between Australia and California. BothThorn and Simpson have three sons. “We’re in a fortunate position where the fan base is there and they’re still really solid, so we’re not out there trying to work and pick up new people all time, we can go out and just play to these great crowds. It’s become a bit more of a nostalgic thing, but anyway, we went in and we recorded an album in January, so I guess this North American tour is sort of
dipping our toes in the water to promote new songs again to see if that fan base is still just as strong here in North America,” saysThorn. TheWaifs’ upcoming album, BeautifulYou, was recorded in Australia and produced by Nick DiDia (Bruce Springsteen, Rage Against the Machine). The band releases all of its records on its own label, Jarrah Records, a partnership with fellow musician John Butler. “Sonically, it actually has a little bit more ambience with electric guitars and things than probably Temptation did . . . . When we got in the studio, we just treated each song as what it would sound the best like and that’s how it came out. I think we’re different in that
respect, in that a lot of bands will go in with the intention of making an album and they have an idea of what they want it to sound like, where we never do. Our albums are really a point of documenting our songs as we perform them live,” saysThorn. This time around, band members attempted to break from tradition and tried to write songs together. “We all write separately, the three individuals.We’ve never written together.We tried it, but we couldn’t do it, which was sort of funny,” saysThorn. While the resulting album is therefore similar to previous releases, in that it’s a collection of three individuals’ compositions, songwriting duties have been more equally distributed. Historically,
Cunningham was the band’s principal songwriter, but that’s changed recently, seeing the sisters increase their contributions to be more equal. “As I’ve gotten older, I’ve started writing a lot more. Whereas before I always considered myself mainly a singer and a performer, now I love songwriting. I need to do it. It’s a catharsis for me,” saysThorn. “We’re attracted, as storytellers, I think to the human condition.The album is actually pretty melancholy. That’s something I notice about Donna’s and my writing, we’re really attracted to the bittersweet stories and that side of the human condition.Whereas Josh, at this point in his life, is very positive and wants to put out
a very positive message — so that’s a little bit of a struggle in the band, but I think you get a good mix on this album,” she adds. Thorn is anticipating a September release of BeautifulYou. In the lead up she’s looking forward to a busy summer with a host of dates across Canada and the United States through August. “I think the reason we’re still doing it is because it’s better than it’s ever been in terms of us wanting to play music together and just loving each other. . . . I’m just so grateful to be able to do it, to still be playing music for a living because it’s my passion and it’s all our passion. It’s what we love to do and the fact that we can still do it is incredible to me,” she says.

But BoazYakin (Remember theTitans) who co-wrote the film in addition to directing, has attempted to craft an oldstyle family film aided by the same producers of that other doggy sobfest, Marley and Me.Yakin may let Max may meander a little, thematically, but any filmmaker who takes the time to craft a family film (only a smattering of language and “peril”) wedgied in the same week as an R-rated movie about a degenerate stuffed bear is OK in my book.

2015 Ford Explorer
Explore in comfort
In the three-row SUV market, the Ford Explorer has long been a major player and has proven itself to be a reliable partner. While the Explorer is no longer the rugged off-roader it once was, it competes effectively with other popular SUVs with a tough design and great features. Its rivals include the Honda Pilot,Toyota Highlander and Dodge Durango. For 2015, changes to the Explorer are minor.The only noteworthy addition is a sportier cosmetic package

Behind the Wheel for the XLT models. Design Like most vehicles in this
category, the Ford Explorer puts an emphasis on onroad refinement versus off-road toughness. It now uses a car-like chassis and offers premium features such as a voice-activated navigation and upscale options like a rear-seat entertainment package. This is all to meet the ever increasing demand for a “crossover” type vehicle as more and more people look for car-style comfort in an SUV package. Its unibody construction helps to hide the Explorer’s overall bulk.
The long horizontal creases along the sides create a sense of motion. However, if you want your Explorer to look even more aggressive, the XLT Appearance Package adds a dark grille, black side and rear cladding and 20-inch wheels. Ultimately, if intimidation is what you seek, you can’t beat the Explorer Sport.With a black grille, dark chrome wheels and an overall getout-of-my-way demeanour, See Refinement page 51
A paddock of Ferraris. A pen of Lamborghinis. A cotillion of Alfa Romeos. And I walked right past them. Last Sunday was the Italian and French car show down at Waterfront Park. An annual affair, this year featured a banner turnout for both of the romance languages, the sun-scorched field crammed with curvy sheetmetal of the best sort. The Italians, as mentioned, had all sorts of sumptuous iron on display, but for me it was the French turnout that really dropped le jaws. Just about 50 cars of all description were here, everything from a prewar Bugatti to a scruffy little Renault Le Car. In Canada, pretty much every automobile-producing nation gets fair and equal representation. Heck, we even build a few cars ourselves.Yet somehow, the French have been See These page 52

Refinement level impressive for an SUV From page 49
the Explorer Sport is easily the most aggressive model. The Explorer makes the most of its space.The cabin offers three rows of seating, with the second row available in either a threeperson bench of two bucket seats.The design is not all that trendy but it has that traditional Ford truck/SUV feel all around which is a plus for those who are loyal to Ford truck products. Performance The Explorer drives much more like a car than a truck.The ride is smooth and the cabin is quiet. The level of refinement is impressive in an SUV; the Explorer feels more expensive than what the price tag indicates. The standard engine is a 3.5-litre V-6.While the 290 horsepower total is not that exciting, it is adequate for most people’s needs. It is available in both frontwheel and four-wheel drive configurations. Those wanting better fuel economy can opt for the turbocharged 2.0-litre
EcoBoost four-cylinder. The 8.5 litre/100 kilometres highway rating is admirable, but this engine is only available in FWD, and acceleration feels sluggish. Sport models are all 4WD and are powered by a 3.5-litre EcoBoost V-6.The 365 h.p. makes the Explorer much more spirited and the drop in fuel efficiency is not much from the base V-6. No matter which engine you choose, all Explorer models are equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission; the V-6 models get Ford’s SelectShift that allows drivers to manually change gears — Sport models can do so with paddle shifters mounted to the steering wheel. Another important aspect of SUVs is towing ability. All V-6 Explorers, including the Sport model, are rated at 5,000 pounds. The four-cylinder, however, can only haul 2,000 pounds. Since the Explorer is designed to feel more at home on the motorway, front and side visibility is good.To compensate

These voitures deserve a shot here
absent from our shores for beaucoup of a long temps (okay, I’ll stop with the pidgin Francais as a few of you have already started screaming). German precision, Japanese reliability, American moxie — surely to goodness there’s room for a little more? Something, perhaps, a little bit special? Once or twice a year, I’ll end up covering a European car show; along with all the usual ridiculously optimistic concept cars and humdrum everyday stuff revealed to throbbing techno music, there’ll be the Peugeots, the Renaults, the Citroëns. Maybe it’s just the childhood influence of my Parisian godmother, but some of this stuff would actually translate pretty well. The time of French machinery being willful and unreliable is pretty much at an end — these days you get the character without the infidelity.They’re still pretty interesting though. Here’s a look at a few Frenchies that should make the trip over tout de suite. Citroën Cactus Innovation is a Citroen hallmark, but so too is bargain-basement cheapness. Think of the Cactus as a sort of descendant of the 2CV and you’ll be getting the right idea — it’s an inexpensive little crossover with a few weird ideas and solid practicality. First a bit of Frenchy coolness — the corrugated side panels that Citroën calls “air-bumps.” Sounds a bit like Homer Simpson’s speed-holes, does it not? However, these durable plastic panels both look cool and protect your Cactus from parking lot dings and dents. If you’ve ever been to Paris and seen how the French drive and park, you’ll know where the idea came from. With a range of teeny-tiny engines, you might expect the Cactus to be rather slow. Even considering that it’s the weight of a first-generation Miata, it mostly is.That is, until you install one of the most effective performance increasing devices ever conceived: a Frenchman. Flog the Cactus like a member of the Resistance eluding a German patrol,
and the Cactus responds with excellent handling and cornering. It’s one of those slow-but-fast machines, and all the while it’s getting the fuel economy of a Nissan Micra. Bon. Peugeot 208 Gti Only the French would be crazy enough to offer a hot hatchback that looks like it’s had one end dipped in a giant nail polish container. The crazy little 208 Gti is the size of a Ford Fiesta, but pumps out a little more power from its revvy 1.6-litre engine. Brembo brakes, a limited-slip differential, big 18-inch alloys — it’s all here. That three-letter acronym (GTI) gives the game away somewhat, but this is a far more zippy and playful car than Volkswagen produces. Peugeot has a long history of making hot hatches, and this car is actually an anniversary model for the company.Talk to anyone who owned a 205 GTI early on in their driving career, and they’ll soon be fondly reminiscing, perhaps in a monologue, maybe whilst smoking a Gitane. With a six-speed manual, I can think of nothing better for tearing up a backroad like Jean Alesi than the feisty little 208 GTI. On the right road, super-compact machines like this are even more fun than high-power pony cars. Renault Kadjar Renault has all kinds of cars that are droolworthy, everything from the sprightly little Twingo and Twizy to the capacious Kangoo vans. But what about a machine that would actually sell? The Kadjar is roughly analogous to the Nissan Rogue, as the companies share platforms and technologies, but it’s much better looking. Higher-spec models come with Muranolike options like 19-inch alloys, and a sleeker style than the Nissan offering. Also, under the hood, you can get the Kadjar with an efficient small-displacement diesel engine.The 1.6-litre turbodiesel is particularly interesting, making power levels similar to that of a VW TDI unit. Really though, the Kadjar is not fundamentally all that different than cars we can already buy here, just that it’s got a little more style, a little more presence, a little more of what the French call — I don’t know what. Vive la difference, as they say.We could perhaps use a little more of it in our driving lives.

Cabin feels cavernous inside Explorer
Environment Sitting inside the Explorer, the cabin feels cavernous.The width is especially noticeable as passengers feel that there is a lot of shoulder and movearound space. That spaciousness extends to the rear as well, where average-size adults should feel quite comfortable in the second row. Legroom isn’t great with the bench seat, but it can recline and the captain’s chairs have travel to slide back some. Headroom is never an issue throughout the cabin. Accessing the third row is made easy, thanks to the second row’s ability to fold completely forward. Once seated in either of the two rear seats, the legroom is tight making them best suited for children. The Explorer has a massive amount of

It is very important to change the timing belt regularly in order to prevent damage to the valves, cylinder head, and prevent engine damage that could lead to costly repairs. On the plus side, replacing your timing belt will increase your gas mileage and acceleration performance as well. Come speak to our Service Advisors about a timing belt inspection today.
