Seymour rock slide blasting begins Drilling, rock breaking at site of 2014’s massive slide BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
The Seymour Salmonid Society is moving mountains to save the Seymour River as a habitat for salmon and steelhead – or at least breaking boulders.
Work kicked off this week for the mitigation project to slowly blast away some of the 50,000 cubic metres of granite that slid into the Seymour in December 2014, making its impassible for spawning fish. Behind the gathered dignitaries at a ceremony on the Fisherman’s Trail Wednesday, professional rock climbers were scaling the cliff face above the slide, knocking loose any smaller rocks and boulders. At the toe of the slide, they are using pneumatic drills to drill holes two metres deep into the massive boulders. Using a low-velocity explosive called NX Burst, crews will break apart the rock, leaving them to the mercy of winter storms and spring runoff. “It’s all about making the river passable by fish again. It’s a two- to five-year project. It’s going to take some time but we believe, thanks to the partners we have with us today, that it is doable,” said Shaun Hollingsworth, salmonid society president. “Some of the rocks down here below us are the size of your house. We’re going to make them smaller. We’re going to let Mother Nature, with those… water flows, move the rocks

In the meantime, volunteers with the society have been physically catching returning salmon and steelhead at a specially made fish fence lower on the Seymour and trucking them up above the slide site.

Mystery bags of brown goo plague Blueridge BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
Blueridge residents and the District of North Vancouver are trying to solve the mystery of some frankly disgusting bags of brown goo turning up on their streets.
Someone has been tossing them on Berkley Road, Sechelt and Layton Drive, Belloc
Street, Drive and Derbyshire Way. “There’s probably been about 15 or 20 over the last couple weeks and they keep coming,” said area resident Angela Duso. “It’s bizarre.” Even stranger than the bags showing up is what’s inside them. “I’ve gotten as close as I like to the contents, and it’s definitely not dog poop,”
Duso said. “It looks more like a pulp.” Neighbours have speculated the goo might be toxic and deliberately left for crows or coyotes. It looks like the bags have been dropped from a moving car, based on their trajectory, Duso said. She’d like someone to come forward and explain what’s in the bags – and then stop throwing them where
they don’t belong. The district is now looking into the matter, although at first glance, the mystery goo does not appear to be dangerous. “We cannot confirm at all what this strange substance is,” said Richard Boase, environmental protection officer. “There was no odour, no

Grain exports continue to climb as trade slows Rail improvements and new grain elevators now online BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
Import and export activity through the Port of Vancouver has slowed down with the global economy, yet the North Shore’s grain terminals continue to export at record levels.
The port released its mid-year update last week, showing cargo volumes down 5.9 per cent over the same period last year. Grain, which is loaded to bulk carriers via Richardson International and Cargill Canada’s terminals, was up 2.1 per cent. “I think what we’re seeing is a growing population, a
growing demand, possibly the soft Canadian dollar helping the grain exporters a bit and, ultimately, good production in Canada, meaning there’s a good availability of product to export,” said Robin Silvester, the port’s CEO. Richardson’s new grain elevator is now fully online and Cargill has completed improvements to its rail lines in the last year. Manitoba-based G3 has been given its project permit for a new grain terminal at the foot of Brooksbank. “I believe they’re going forward to their board in the next month or two for, fingers crossed, that final investment approval,”
The Port of Vancouver handles the widest range of cargo over any other port in North America, according to the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority. FILE PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD Silvester said. “We could well be seeing construction preparation going on before the end of the year if everything goes the way we hope it would.”
As for unused port lands on the North Shore, the still largely vacant port land at the foot of St. Patricks Avenue will likely be taken up by more rail
infrastructure and the port is looking into a possible land swap for an undeveloped lot on Old Dollarton Highway that would allow Western Stevedoring to
expand at the foot of Mountain Highway. “We’re pretty much done on the North Shore,” Silvester said. Metallurgical coal and potash, which are exported from Neptune Terminals are both down, 4.1 per cent and 22.4 per cent due to slumping demand in China while corresponding imports of breakbulk steel have seen a corresponding drop, thanks to the slowdown in the oil patch, Silvester said. The update comes as federal consultations for the Trans Mountain pipeline project are winding up. Submissions from the North Shore’s three municipalities focused heavily on the risk of a spill and the lack of ability to respond. The

West Van to push for real estate reform at meeting of local gov’ts JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com
West Vancouver’s bid to rid speculators from its overheated housing market may get a boost from senior levels of government when the Union of B.C. Municipalities convenes at the end of September.
The provincial and federal governments need to take “immediate action to discourage speculation in real estate, particularly by foreign investors,” according to a
motion submitted by West Vancouver’s mayor and council to the UBCM. The motion is the result of a push from West Vancouver Couns. Mary-Ann Booth and Craig Cameron, both of whom have expressed concerns longtime residents are being pushed from the affluent municipality by absentee investors. “There’s a realistic value that should be placed on our homes,” Booth said when discussing the issue earlier this summer. “Intuitively, anyone knows that what
houses are going for now is not proportional.” The average sale price for a West Vancouver home is $4.6 million, according to North Shore Realty. “You can’t keep selling shares in the Ponzi scheme,” Cameron said. “Eventually it has to stop.” While local politicians have worked to balance the market by creating greater supply, senior levels of government need to do something to “cool demand,” according to Booth. While provincial politicians have previously seemed
reluctant to enforce any measures that would blunt the seven-figure investment many homeowners make, West Vancouver council is asking the UBCM to take a broader view. “Housing is a necessity for all residents, and not simply a commodity of trade,” according to their motion. Besides boosting real estate prices, speculation is also leading to lost productivity as workers commute longer distances. Economic growth is also impacted as more money is spent on
housing, a scenario that results in the exile of many skilled workers from Metro Vancouver, according to council’s motion. The motion also makes reference to the suggestion some foreign investors may be sidestepping the taxman. West Vancouver is asking senior levels of government to, “ensure that foreign real estate investors pay a fair share of provincial and federal taxes.” The UBCM is scheduled to consider the resolution in one of their sessions between
Sept. 28 and 30. It would be the first time the UBCM has considered such a motion. Sales in B.C. have dipped recently, with the Canadian Real Estate Association reporting a 21 and 28 per cent drop in Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley since sales figures hit a high last February. But while sales have stagnated, home prices in Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley had a greater year-over-year increase than in any other market in Canada, with boasts of greater than 30 per cent each.

‘Spirit of the rocks’ brings parties together From page 1
Joining in the mitigation project is Tsleil-Waututh and Squamish nations, the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans, the B.C. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, Metro Vancouver and the District of North Vancouver. The federal government -has put up $600,000 over three years for the project, which could have a total bill of $1.25 million if it runs for five years. The province has contributed $50,000 and the salmonid society has received grants from the Pacific Salmon Foundation, the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, Freshwater Fisheries Society, City and District of North
Vancouver, Coho Society of B.C., Steelhead Society of B.C., B.C. Federation of Drift Fishers, and multiple private donations. The Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh nations lent a spiritual dimension to Wednesday’s ceremony with prayer songs. “In our teachings, everything in the forest – everything on Mother Earth – has a spirit, including the rock,” said Chris Lewis, elected council member with the Squamish Nation. “We’re going to pay homage to the spirit of the rock, let the rock know what is happening with the blasting – that is going to be a disturbance.” And Lewis noted, the salmon have a storied place in Squamish lore, regarded
as a force to bring people together, much like the rock slide mitigation project had. “The salmon are a people to us. They come from a great land out in the ocean. There are stories that go back to the origins that remind us of our connection to the salmon people. Those stories that the salmon have, have the power to bring us all together and they have the power to divide us, so it’s a delicate balance and I’m very proud to be here,” he said. “If the spirit of the rocks did not fall into the river, would we all be here today? Would we all be working together? Or would we all be in our own separate offices doing what we always do, and not talking to one another?”

Marathassa lessons learned From page 4 Trans Mountain expansion would mean tankers would cross the inlet almost daily, as opposed to the current weekly. “That would still be only around 10 per cent of the total vessel traffic through the port. If you compare it to Rotterdam or Singapore, they have thousands of tankers per year and we wouldn’t be in that league,” Silvester said. Still, as the regulator, the port would have its own process to ensure “the
environment is protected and the cargo can move safely.” “Collectively, the marine sector has learned a lot from the Marathassa incident, that would mean we’re in a much better place should we ever have an incident in the future,” he said. “I think quite a lot of the recommendations from (the safety review) have already been put in place, which is good. We have been advocating strongly to the federal government to follow through on the remaining recommendations from that report.”

sheen and no otherwise sign of obvious serious concern but we don’t know what the substance is.” District staff have collected the bags reported to them, double-bagged them, and put them in the garbage. Boase said it was “very unlikely” the goo is dangerous, but still he advises anyone who happens by a tossed baggie to call the district. The Blueridge brown goo mystery comes as illegal dumping is spiking across the district, Boase said.
Particularly common are abandoned mattresses and construction waste. “The regulations changed regarding how much construction drywall waste can be taken to the North Shore facility, making it very difficult now for contractors doing projects to locally recycle their drywall waste,” he said. “We’re finding drywall waste is being dumped all over the place in cul-de-sacs and in parks.” Getting caught dumping illegally, whether it’s a bag of brown goo or load of drywall, will get you an on-the-spot ticket for $100 but the district
could take the matter to court, resulting in a fine of up to $2,000. District staff are stepping
up patrols in the area, Boase said. Anyone who witnesses illegal dumping should call the district.

Fish tales
T
he Seymour River may yet survive as a home for coho salmon and steelhead trout, thanks to the Seymour Salmonid Society. The tiny NGO and its dedicated team of volunteers have devised a plan to break apart the 50,000 cubic metres of rock that slid into the river in 2014. For the spawning salmonids, it was a matter of life and death. Perhaps more impressive was the society’s bringing together of six different governments at the local, regional, provincial, federal and First Nations levels, and raising the money to get the project started. Talk about swimming upstream. The West Vancouver Streamkeepers Society too has done phenomenal work aiding our salmonid friends in their waterways. The start of the Seymour rock slide mitigation project comes as we get the
news the Fraser River sockeye return is perhaps the lowest it’s ever been. Whether it’s pollution, warming oceans, degradation of spawning grounds, disease, parasites or fish farms, our salmon – which have been a life-sustaining staple of the Coast Salish people for thousands of years and perhaps the most iconic symbol of our West Coast culture today – have perhaps never been at greater risk. We’re heartened and grateful for groups like the Salmonid Society and Streamkeepers. In the fight for survival, you couldn’t ask for better allies. But it’s incumbent on the rest of us to support them in their efforts, whether it be through donations, volunteering or making sure our governments know protecting wild salmon is a priority. When we tell fish tales to our grandchildren, we should all have a story about the time we saved a fish “this big.”
Spirit Trail plans prompt even more questions
L
et’s assume – I hope this isn’t my usual excess of kindliness – that West Vancouver councillors read the daily Vancouver press. If so, they should be much troubled by any analogy between the so-called Arbutus Greenway and what’s in the cards – held close to WV town hall staff’s chest – for the Argyle Avenue chunk of the Spirit Trail. City Paved Arbutus Paradise, Critics Say was the Vancouver Sun headline over a Matt Robinson report. It strongly suggests the “greenway” was greener under the benevolent neglect of former owner Canadian Pacific Railway than it’s shaping up under green-talkin’ Mayor Gregor Robertson and his enabling honcho, Jerry Dobrovolny.
This Just In Trevor Lautens Dobrovolny, city engineering manager, is the bloke who produced a preposterous graphic of a future Granville Bridge metamorphosed into a treed linear park with the odd motor vehicle puttering alongside cyclists and pedestrians. (A New York City takeoff.) Do the planners and Robertson, immortalized
CONTACTUS
in a recent outrageously hyping photo-op – cycling sweatlessly with senior staff – have any more bright ideas about how actual people will move in the already strangled city and throughout Metro? Reporter Robinson implied the Arbutus Greenway visionaries are pandering to “a new group of users, including cyclists, skateboarders and others.” (Right, skateboarders, a universally loved lot.) As would the repurposed Argyle Avenue section of the Spirit Trail. Protesters, a few brandishing placards, pushed Dobrovolny into some concessions like temporarily halting the paving. Classic government appeasement, no material change. Getting back to Argyle Avenue, West Van
councillors, except ill Coun. Michael Lewis who was absent and has since died, unanimously agreed to buy this pig in a poke, without telling the public a few trifling details (or do they know themselves?). Such as: How would beach-users cross it? How would the prized Harvest Festival’s booths and wares be trucked in and out? Where is any benefit for high-priority AmblesideDundarave business renewal? Where would, could, Argyle’s lost 100-odd parking spaces be relocated? Not least, where would the Spirit Trail continue westward from John Lawson Park? I’m repeating myself because I’m convinced this project, a block from Ambleside centre, would be a character-changing
blunder favouring narrow interests over the broader public now happy with the status quo. On the question of who actually would use the trail, WV Mayor Michael Smith muses that the dedicated bicycle commuters – whom I applaud, most of them skilled and with wellequipped bicycles – won’t choose the trail, preferring to stay on Marine Drive. Town hall declares that Ambleside waterfront improvement has been discussed for 40 years with no action. Now there’s a clue. It was working fine for all those years with minimal bureaucracy or regulation – just people-sense. If there’s been friction among users, it’s been kept quiet. Elementary, my dear Watson. To repeat: The project is a classic solution looking for a problem.

Legislation needed to put a stop to ‘birth tourism’ boom Dear Editor: Re: B.C. Aware of 26 ‘Baby Houses’ as Birth Tourism from China Booms, July 28 Vancouver Sun story. Are our federal and B.C. provincial governments blind or dumb? In recent years we experienced a growing intensity of real estate purchases by Chinese buyers which has driven costs beyond
that affordable by local Vancouverites. Finally, partial sanity returned and (the provincial government) have resorted to a tax but it will not stop the offshore buying and so that flood will continue. Now we learn that Chinese citizens are visiting here for non-resident births so that their child can get a Canadian passport and all that goes with it. The Citizenship Act
laws should be changed immediately before this becomes another flood now and in the future. An earlier government program allowed immigrants into Quebec on paying a $200,000 fee, so if the Citizenship Act cannot be changed, let the charge for a non-resident birth on a tourist visa be $200,000.

Memorial for Coun. Lewis last week From page 8 games. He didn’t speak just for the camera.” For slow learners, Smith repeated the tenor of that sentiment at the funeral. Did anyone in the overflow crowd squirm? A career businessman, the mayor has long denied he’s a politician. His sharp words showed again his indifference to consensusbuilding and all that good textbook stuff. But he must be privately hoping that the replacement councillor is a Michael Lewis clone. ^^^

BEHIND CANADIAN TIRE
convinces local resident to part with $27K ‘loan’ JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com
A North Vancouver woman was swindled out of $27,000 through dating site match.com
after connecting with a love interest who was only interested in money.
After months of lengthy conversations via instant messaging, the man – purportedly a Canadian working in Saudi Arabia – asked the middleaged woman to loan him $30,000 in legal fees connected to a construction project. She sent him $27,000 and his profile subsequently vanished. “She truly believed this guy’s story,” said North Vancouver RCMP spokesman Cpl. Richard De Jong. “(Professional scammers) know the words to say, they understand the vulnerability of people.” The couple never spoke via webcam or in person, but the scammer won her trust through a series of hour-long online exchanges. The victim is suffering emotionally as well as financially, according to North Vancouver RCMP Const. Brett Cunningham. Online daters are scammed out of thousands every year, according to Cunningham. “It’s heartbreaking and frustrating to investigate these types of frauds,” he stated in a press release.
Photos, resumes, and “elaborate life stories” can all be fabricated by online predators hoping to lure the charitable and the credulous. Police advise visitors to dating sites to withhold personal, credit card and banking information. And when the time comes to meet their online paramour they should make sure to do so in a public place. This scam comes less than a year after another North Vancouver woman was bilked out of around $300,000 after a man she’d met through a Christian dating site told her he needed money following an oil rig explosion. The man, the oil rig, and the explosion all turned out to be fictitious. Dishonesty online is rampant, according to a recent study conducted by researchers from Indiana and Purdue universities. In surveying users on dating sites, social media platforms, chatrooms and sexual sites, the reported rate of honesty never rose above 32 per cent. The most common online lies are about appearance, according to the study, which is available online.

Illegal shark catch off Ambleside prompts warning
DFO reminds sport fishers of crab closures and catch limits BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
Fisheries and Oceans Canada is asking crabbers to bone up on their regulations after the Vancouver Police Department’s marine unit hauled up an illegal crab trap off Ambleside with a spiny dogfish caught inside.
The dogfish, which is more commonly known as a mud shark, survived and police released it but Fisheries and Oceans Canada says the water off Ambleside is a hot spot for poaching and illegal crab traps. “That area is highly populated, so we’re often in the area looking at that kind of stuff,” said Eric Jean, fishery officer. “(The week of Aug. 9-14) in that area, we had six crabbers – 19 crabs between them. Fifteen of those crabs were female, which are illegal to catch and retain. All 19
A spiny dogfish or mud shark was caught inside an illegal trap off Ambleside earlier this month. PHOTO SUPPLIED of the crabs were undersized and there was $3,400 in fines given out for fishing in a closed time and a slew of
warnings.” The area between Siwash Rock and Point Atkinson is closed to recreational crab
fishing from one hour after sunset to one hour before sunrise and the trap was also unmarked, making it illegal, Jean said. “That does happen quite often. Whether people are aware to properly mark their gear or not, it is against the regulations. You must mark your gear in block letters in a contrasting colour with your last name.” Traps also tend to turn up in areas between Lighthouse Park and Bowen Island, which have recently closed for fishing to protect endangered glass sponge reefs on the sea floor. “We really want to make sure people know to protect and avoid these areas. We do find a lot of recreational gear in these areas just due to the fact people aren’t up to date on the regulations and the closures,” Jean said. “We’re just trying to make sure it’s here for tomorrow and everybody can enjoy it safely.” DFO’s full sport fishing guide and details on fishing closures is available at pac. dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/rec/ species-especes/crab-crabeeng.html

Proposed Expansion SPONSORED CONTENT Engagement makes for a stronger, safer and better Project
Ian Anderson, President, Kinder Morgan Canada
With the recent meetings held by the federal government’s Ministerial Panel in North Vancouver about our Project, I thought I’d reflect on engagement and how the many voices and contributions over the past several years have shaped our thinking and our proposal. For me, engagement is about going into a conversation with an open mind and a genuine interest in what the other person has to say. It means listening to every question, concern and idea in order to understand another point of view, consider new ideas and ultimately, build a long-term relationship based on respect and trust. Successful engagement isn’t about finding agreement on every issue or changing someone’s opinion. It’s about honesty, openness and a willingness to listen and learn. It’s this approach that has made our Project stronger and has laid the foundation for us to build and operate the expanded pipeline in consideration of the many and varied interests we have heard. Through public information sessions, workshops, meetings with local governments and neighbours, presentations to community stakeholders and online forums, North Shore residents have let us know they care most about issues related to our marine plans. Feedback collected has helped shape aspects of the Project, including the consideration of effects on recreational boating traffic. Trans Mountain is actively supporting the Pacific Pilotage Authority’s (PPA)
info@transmountain.com
work to raise awareness about small boat safety in the marine community. What many boat operators — everyone from kayakers and wind surfers to sport fishing guides and commercial fishermen — may not understand is if a small boat gets very close to an oil tanker or any general cargo ship, it’s no longer visible to the pilot or any of the ship’s navigating team from the ship’s bridge. This is because from the bridge, a pilot’s view of the water is obscured by the bow of the ship for hundreds of metres out ahead. In addition to our commitments, the National Energy Board’s recommendation to the federal government to approve the Expansion Project is subject to 157 conditions. Many of these conditions are in response to community and Intervenor feedback gathered through the review process and from the many residents who participated in our open houses, workshops and online opportunities. Trans Mountain will continue to work with the PPA as we develop our Marine Public Outreach Program, which is a condition of the NEB. The program will be designed to inform boat operators about their responsibilities for safe navigation in and around shipping routes and the need for safety when large ships are moving through. Stakeholder feedback has changed the Project and will continue to do so as we move forward. As the Project progresses and we move towards construction, we’ll continue to share new information with our neighbours and address questions and concerns to the extent practical. I encourage you to learn more about our Project at www.transmountain.com.

Travel inspires Monika Blichar’s creative journey

Painting Dreams
Every year, the European Union designates cities within its member states to serve as cultural hubs.
Known as European Capitals of Culture, cities bid for the title and spend years organizing public events and exhibits that celebrate Eu ropean culture for the benefit of locals and tourists alike. For 2016, the two capitals are San Sebastian, Spain and Wroclaw, Poland. Knowing this helped North Vancouver artist Monika Blichar narrow down her choices when picking a destination for her second annual Painting Dreams international art tour. The fact that she speaks Polish and has family living in Poland helped make up her mind. From July 23 to Aug. 5, Blichar took a small group on an art tour of Wroclaw, which is the largest city in western Poland
and lies on the River Oder. The travellers visited galleries, museums and local attractions and developed their art skills. “We did about three hours of painting every day,” Blichar says, both in their rented luxury apartment and en plein air. In an effort to experience a mix of art, culture and history, the group also visited a 13th-century castle, toured a former concentration camp, took cooking lessons and attended a film festival. Last summer, Blichar took 11 people to southwest France with the goal of giving participants a different experience than they might have on a more rigid tour. This year, her mission was much the same. “I’m hoping they’ll see things that they would not normally see on a day tour that’s really crammed and scheduled rather than something a little bit more intimate,” she says. “I’m hoping to inspire people.”
Some of the artwork the participants created in Wroclaw, along with Blichar’s photographs of the sites, will be on display at the fourth annual Polish Festival on Sunday, Sept. 4, from 2 to 7:30 p.m. at Lynn Valley Village. Blichar has a degree in English and French from the University of Victoria and has taught language in public and private schools. “I’ve always done art. It was always my side thing,” she says. “When I finished my degree and started teaching full time, I really had a bit of a void of creativity.” To fill that void, Blichar continued to moonlight as an artist and began selling her work. Eventually, she opened a studio in East Vancouver where she taught language and art. “That studio got too small, so I moved up to North Van,”

says Blichar. MAB Art Studio & Boutique Gallery has been located on Pemberton Avenue for almost four years and offers art classes for kids and adults. When she’s not teaching or working on her own projects, Blichar is busy organizing Art World Expo, a large-scale event that takes place every spring in Vancouver. “It features 100 artists,
a fashion show, the largest body painting competition in North America,” she explains. She got the idea to start leading European art tours after accompanying a group of private school students to Eastern Europe a few years ago. “I thought why not try it and see if it works and there seems to be a good demand for it,” she says. For Blichar, who was born in a refugee camp in
Italy and moved to Red Deer, Alberta before settling in the Lower Mainland by way of Vancouver Island, visiting Poland offered a glimpse into her own family history. “It kind of came full circle for me,” she says. Now back at home, Blichar is already busy planning the 2017 Painting Dreams art tour to Barcelona, Spain. Those interested are invited to sign up for a free information session Aug. 28 at mabartstudio.com.

The first time Nils (Stellan Skarsgård) puts on a suit, it’s to receive a Citizen of the Year award; the second, for his son’s funeral. And the snowbound little town of Tyos will never be the same.

“I couldn’t afford the guitar I really, really liked, which sounds sort of pouty teenagery,” she says with a laugh, reminiscing about the handsome, handmade Spanish classical she had been eying in a local guitar shop in Edmonton, where Ladd grew up. After playing that first note on a handmade guitar Ladd instantly detected the difference it makes. “A good guitar – it’s like a good meal or clothes that fit you properly – it just makes a real difference,” she explains. “They feel beautiful, they look beautiful, but it’s the sound. You honestly don’t even know how good a guitar can be until you play a hand-built guitar. It’s like a

meal made by your grandma versus a restaurant meal.” Ladd’s lifelong love of music has led her to be involved in many arts scenes including the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. She moved to Hornby Island in the 1980s where she got a gig booking all the local bands for shows. That’s how she met musician Paul Haggis. “He was in the band that I was always booking,” says Ladd. Their lives took them on different paths, but they reconnected six years ago and opened their first guitar shop in North Vancouver in 2011 on West 14th Street. The business was born out of a frustration of sorts after the couple searched high
and low locally to find a guitar shop focused on “really great sounding acoustic guitars.” Despite the economic downturn, the couple immediately saw an opportunity to have their own business doing something they loved and were passionate about. The name Bluedog Guitars pays homage to their late Louisiana Catahoula Leopard blue merle-hued hound dog, named Solo. Haggis and Ladd found “incredibly talented” local luthiers like Shelley D. Park, David Webber, David Iannone and Michael Dunn, and arranged to carry their instruments in the shop. Park is world-renowned for her gypsy jazz guitars, and she makes ukuleles that Ladd says have proved to be
popular sellers at the shop, dubbed “a candy shop for guitar lovers.” Bluedog has built an international following and ships handmade guitars around the world to places like Norway, Brazil and Paris every week. Their clients are attracted to the one-of-a-kind craftsmanship that Bluedog carries. “The guitars we sell are rare, built by small builders,” says Ladd. Bluedog has been known to carry the occasional banjo and Hawaiian lap steel guitars. They also get a lot of vintage instruments coming in too. “Right now we have a 1950 Gibson L7 in the shop, a great old archtop guitar,” says Ladd. In mid-August Bluedog
made a move across town into a larger space, at 60 Orwell St., #121, in the Lynnwood Marina. “We had really outgrown the other space,” says Ladd. “With every guitar comes a guitar case which takes up a lot of room.” Looking at a large empty warehouse space at the marina with 26-foot-high ceilings, Ladd and Haggis, blown away by the acoustics, envisioned their new guitar shop and designed it from scratch. They built a stage on the ground level and a made second floor that wraps around it, so everyone upstairs can see the performers. Guitars on display line the perimeter of both floors. There’s also the white picket fenced indoor/outdoor Chihuahua area for Frida and Sassafras, the couple’s rescue dogs, to run around. “It’s really a dream guitar shop now,” gushes Ladd. Last Saturday Bluedog kicked off their grand opening by welcoming Texas troubadour Billy Crockett to play an intimate concert at the new shop. Ladd tells the story of how Crockett and his wife visited Vancouver a couple years ago and made a side trip to North Vancouver via the SeaBus and then on foot to seek out Bluedog Guitars. “It was a really hot day and they were sweating and tired but they come into the shop and they just sat down on the couch and they were just so happy to be in our shop,” recalls Ladd. “We didn’t know who they were. But then we found out that he owned Blue Rock studios in Texas and that he’s a major Texas singer-songwriter.” Crockett bought three locally made guitars from Bluedog and has remained friends with Ladd and Haggis. Ladd says Crockett’s equally matched talent and generosity makes him the quintessential kind of artist they want to showcase in the shop. “We really like that singerwriter or accomplished guitar players that are not just great guitar players, but great people. The sort of person when you ask them they are delighted to do it,” says Ladd. In turn Bluedog offers for
Thomas Leeb performs at Bluedog Guitars on Sept. 1 at 7 p.m. Tickets $15 in advance / $20 at the Door. Dinner available killer sausages from the O’CanadaDawg! food truck. Contact Bluedog at 604-971-2893 for tickets. PHOTO SUPPLIED their visiting artists “a dream audience,” diehard fans of the craft who listen intently. “Kind of like how music used to be,” says Ladd. “We’ve never once had to tell someone to put their phone down, here.” On Sept. 1, Bluedog will bring in Thomas Leeb, a Lowden “signature” guitarist originally from Austria who now calls California home. Leeb had a YouTube video go viral a few years ago when he put a GoPro inside his guitar and played Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb” in the hills of California. You can see the strings vibrating from inside the guitar and the hills behind in the memorizing video. Ladd considers him to be one of the most accomplished modern finger style guitarists in the world. “He’s sort of the forefront of this new percussive finger style guitar,” she says. Leeb incorporates some African influence into his music, using his guitar as a drum to tap out the driving African beat in between the strumming. “It’s a feat. It’s amazing stuff to see. They will see guitar like they have never quite imagined it before, that’s for sure,” says Ladd, of what the
audience can expect from Leeb next Thursday. Later in the month, Taylor Guitars, based in California, will bring their roadshow to Bluedog on Sept. 29 at 7 p.m. “They play a whole bunch of different guitars and actually show you the difference between here’s what a guitar with a rosewood back and sides sounds like versus a mahogany. So it allows you to hear those differences,” says Ladd. Ladd likens the event to a crash course in acoustic guitars or a fashion show “but with really expert commentators.” Bluedog is also celebrating another accomplishment: they have been named a Top 100 Dealer by the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) - the global association of music products and music retailers - for the fourth year in a row. The organization recognized Bluedog at an awards event held in Nashville this past June. “We are really honoured to receive this recognition as one of the top music stores in the world,” says Ladd. More information on upcoming events can be found on Bluedog’s website at bluedogguitars.com.

CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com
A scarf can represent different things to different people.
To some, it’s a fun fashion accessory. To others, it’s an object of oppression. To Jamileh Pourfouladchi, it’s both. The North Vancouver fashion designer immigrated to Canada from Tehran, Iran in 1996. While she was living in Iran, she resented having to wear a hijab, the traditional Islamic head covering for women, which has been compulsory in the country since the 1979 revolution. During her time as a university student, Pourfouladchi recalls having to wear conservative brown, black or grey clothing. Today though, she says acceptable clothing colours in her home country are not as limited as they once were and many young people are incorporating art and vibrant hues into their outfits. “The new Iranian generation are exposed to the Internet and they just don’t want to be limited to some passive and dark colour. They want a new style, a fashionable style,” she says. Pourfouladchi had young Iranian women in mind when she was designing her new line of scarves.
“I want to introduce them to something more colourful and artistic,” she explains. She established her Avant-garde Moda label in 2015 and just released her first collection of silk and wool printed scarves for the fall/winter 2016 season. There are eight different designs, one inspired by Pablo Picasso’s “The Dream,” the rest born from Pourfouladchi’s own imagination. A 2013 graduate of Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s design, fashion and technology program, for her final-year student project Pourfouladchi designed a capsule collection for jet-setting Iranian women who want to dress as they please while abroad, while still maintaining a sense of national identity. Avantgarde Moda emerged from that groundwork. The company website states that many Muslim women are “pinned in between two contradictory and oppressive forces,” one of which makes women wear hijabs, and another that “others” Muslim women who choose to wear hijabs and other cultural attire. Avantgarde Moda scarves “stem from a dialectical relation

Due to the cost and quality, only a small number of her pieces are available for sale. “I don’t want to mass produce because it’s art. It’s just limited.” She says her scarves can be used different ways by women of all backgrounds and beliefs. Some women
may choose to wear them as head coverings, while others, like Pourfouladchi, who has opted not to wear a hijab since moving to Canada, can wear them as fashion accessories. Really, it comes down to the individual – “people who want the hijab, it’s their choice, or people who just want to have an accessory, something beautiful around their neck.” Pourfouladchi’s scarves are available online at avantgardemoda.com.

“By accessing world markets for Canadian oil, we’ll enjoy increased tax dollars and years of employment.” - Deborah Cahill, President, Electrical Contractors Association of BC
Now more than ever, this project makes sense for Canada and British Columbia. It’s vital we receive the most from our natural resources at a time when our economy needs it most. The Trans Mountain Expansion Project will allow Canadian oil to be delivered to international markets and, as a result, Canada will earn approximately $3.7 billion more a year for our oil. By realizing full value, everyone will benefit. In addition, the expansion will create tens of thousands of jobs over the next 25 years.

OSOYOOS WINERIES
Cruising through a lush Okanagan landscape MICHELLE HOPKINS Contributing writer
A few years ago I went on a mountain bike expedition. I fancied myself a pretty decent rider. However, within minutes I hit a rock and took a nosedive off my bike. I walked away with a bruised ego but luckily only a few cuts and bruises.
So, when I was recently invited to take part in a cycle tour of Osoyoos wineries, I thought to myself: “Am I nuts? Will I once again embarrass myself?” However, the allure of the Okanagan was just too strong. So here we are, six of us on a cool June day ready to spend a leisurely day discovering some of the region’s wineries. Except this time instead of using my own power to pedal from winery to winery, I’m on a Pedego E-bike. Everything about Richard Cooper, owner of Heatstroke Cycle, easygoing demeanour – stubble, shorts, shades and bright orange runners – somehow reassured me. At first glance, the bike looks like any traditional bicycle. In fact, I had to ask Cooper where the electric motor was – it is attached to the back frame. Don’t get me wrong though, there is some exercise involved. The bike isn’t like a motorcycle; it does not move on its own so you still have to pedal to get it going. The controls have an additional gear lever on the handle bars so when you’re feeling the strain, you just click it on to give you some extra gusto to climb some of the hills. Hardcore cyclists are probably thinking “where’s the pride one feels when pushing the body beyond its limits while straining and sweating up steep valleys?” Yes, that does vanish with the push of a button, yet you can always opt to cycle so you can get as little or as much exercise as you want. I did but frankly it was just too much fun letting the bike take over the hard work. Framed by lush vineyards, desert mountains and Lake
Pedego E-bikes do all the hard work cycling through the vineyards.

Osoyoos’ blue waters, we head out for few hours cruising past vineyards, farms and countryside. Our first stop of the day was to Hester Creek Winery. We ride past a patchwork of endless vineyards, orchards and gnarly trees and park our bikes. Here, like at the other wineries we visited that day – Cassini Cellars, Rustico Farm & Cellars, then lunch at Road 13 Vineyards before finishing off at Church & State Wines – we tasted and swirled wine after wine. FARM TO FORK Because of its deep commitment to the farm-to-table movement, the Thompson Okanagan has attracted some of the world’s top chefs. One such chef is chef/proprietor Chris Van Hooydonk of Backyard Farm Chef’s Table. At 37, he has already amassed two decades of experience in some of the province’s high-end restaurants, his
Cassini Cellars is halfway between Oliver and Osoyoos, B.C. most recent stint as executive chef at Burrowing Owl Estate Winery. Not only is he a dedicated champion of local purveyors, he is passionate about the land. Hence Backyard Farm – nestled on his heritage orchard property and surrounded by a vineyard – where the pioneering chef lives with
his family, grows some organic produce, and offers lunch or dinner for up to 20 people. Van Hooydonk is part of a movement in the Okanagan, who are passionate about local cuisine and wine and he wants to share it with everyone. Another must-see is Covert Farms Family Estate.
With a lush foreground of mountains and a myriad of organic ground crops, we all hop aboard a vintage 1952 red Mercury truck to pick our own organically grown strawberries that will become part of our salad. As we return from our tour of the farm, we are handed a glass of Covert Farms Family Estate organic wine (I went for the Amicitia 2011, a fabulous dinner wine), and platters of charcuteries. Imagine fields that spread towards the horizon and savouring food that was harvested hours before it lands on your plate. Authentic farm-to-table living has taken root in the Okanagan Valley. Whether it’s an orchard dinner under the stars, an al fresco vineyard dinner or a day tour; there are many ways to explore farm to fork. IF YOU GO: 1) Tourism Osoyoos (destinationosoyoos.com)

V0H 1V0 Reservations: 1-855-213-0582 (watermarkbeachresort.com) I love this property, the boardwalk is right outside your door, the in-room coffee is some of the best I’ve had in a resort, or for that matter, hotel. The executive chef Adair Scott creates some magic in the kitchen at the resort’s The Restaurant at Watermark. Scott prepared a fabulous five-course menu using locally sourced ingredients. As the sun set over the mountains that surround the Osoyoos lakeside, we enjoyed each course which was perfectly paired with local wines.

From page 18 The perspectives are magical: the lonely view from an airport runway, the epic waves of snow created by Nils’s snow-blowing equipment, Nils’s biblical site for body disposal. We never see the earth, even during a funeral, but cinematographer Philip Ogaard (who has
lensed several Skarsgaard films) keeps the snowscape lively. The film was nominated for a Golden Bear in Berlin. Darkly comic and bloody to the last frame, In Order of Disappearance is a frigid fable about the consequences of violence and the moral perils of revenge. But mostly it’s silly, savage fun.

Celebrate the lives of loved ones with your stories, photographs & tributes on:
BRADLEY, Philip Maurice September 5, 1933 - August 11, 2016 A great, kind and generous loving family man. Survived by Ray, his wife of 58 years. Daughters Linda & Susie (Leger). Granddaughters Sarah, Christina, Emma and Olivia. The family would like to thank the Staff at Kiwanis Care Centre for their wonderful care. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
COUCHMAN, Richard It is with sadness in our hearts that we announce the passing of long-time West Vancouver resident (Donald) Richard Couchman, 82, on July 10, 2016 after a four year struggle with deteriorating health. Richard is survived by his wife of 56 years, Marie (nee Rosie); son Donald; daughter Fiona (Geoff); granddaughter Allison; brother Patrick Carter (Kim). the Creighton cousins Terry, Hugh, Daphne, Norman and Robert. As well, Richard leaves behind special friends Peter Cherry, Valerie McPolin, Fred Jones, Jim Tedesco, Terry and Marg Cooke, Roy Tate and Ann Kemp. Predeceased by parents Elizabeth Mildred (“Mid”) Carter (nee Creighton) and John Herbert Couchman, sister Patricia Carter and step-father Frank Montague (“Mont”) Carter of Carter’s Nursery formerly at 18th and Marine in West Vancouver. Richard’s maternal great-grandparents and their eight children arrived in Vancouver in 1890 after selling the family farm in Scarborough, Ontario. Settling in West Vancouver in 1929, his grandparents, William and Rozella (Rose) Creighton built their family home at 29th and Palmerston, where Richard spent his early childhood and where he met fellow tricycle enthusiast, Peter Cherry. It is difficult to describe Richard’s life without reference to his beloved West Vancouver where he resided for all but two years of his life and where he was employed by the Municipality of West Vancouver (Public Works) for 26 years, until his retirement in 1995. Special thanks to Dr. Etienne Vilonel, Dr. Victor Chow, Dr. Paul Sugar and to the many nurses and staff at Home Support.
EWERT (Knight), Joan Doris April 5, 1929 - August 3 2016 Joan died peacefully in her home on August 3. Joan was born in West Vancouver and was the youngest of four siblings who have predeceased her. She married Carl Ewert on August 9, 1952, sharing 54 wonderful years together before Carl passed in 2006. Joan is survived by two sons, Paul and Blair (Nona); grandson Jacob, her nephews, nieces and their families; and her many friends, old and new. Of her extended family, she lived to see three generations brought into the world, all of whom she was very proud of. Joan was a very patient, supportive, charitable, and determined woman and mother. After Carl’s passing, she struggled with many medical issues with grace and dignity. Although she will be dearly missed by those who knew her, we are comforted with the knowledge that she will be loved and remembered, knowing also that she is now at peace. Her family wishes to acknowledge Dr. C. Gemeinhardt for her excellent and dedicated support in caring for Mom in health and during the course of her declining health. A Celebration of Life will be held from 1-5PM at 4955 River Road, In lieu of flowers, please consider Delta Hospital, Delta Kin Village, Hospital.

HEITMANN (nee Hahne), Ursula August 19, 1923 - August 16, 2016
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Harry Cullen, loving husband to Jean (nee Mason), dedicated father to Tracey (Paul) Gallant and Lisa (David) Robinson, and caring grandfather to Danica, Caprice, Bailey, Isabel and Angus.
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our loving Mother, Mother-in-Law, Grandmother and Great Grandmother.
Harry was raised in Howick, Quebec, and attended Bishops University. He taught high school in the Chateauguay Valley and ended his teaching career while principal of the Intermediate School in Franklin Centre. Harry and Jean married in 1964, and a few years later moved to Fredericton where he attended UNB Law School. The family moved to Vancouver’s North Shore in 1970 and Harry began his law career. A kind and patient man, with a dry sense of humour, Harry’s interests included tennis, curling and hiking in his later years. But always most important to Harry was his family, who will miss him dearly. In lieu of flowers, a donation to UBC Hospital, Purdy Pavillion, 2221 Wesbrook Mall, Room M36, Vancouver, BC V7T 2B5, would be appreciated. All funds raised will be used for Parkinson’s Disease research. No service by request.
Mami Ulla was born in Mexico City on August 19 in 1923. At an early age she moved to Germany. Years later as a young girl upon her return to Mexico she met her husband Ernst. Always a very kind and loving person she raised her daughters, Trixi and Monica. Widowed, she spent some years back in Germany before settling for good in Vancouver in 1986. She will always be greatly missed. A Celebration of Her Life will be held on Wednesday, August 31 from 2-4 pm at AMICA of West Vancouver, 659 Clyde Avenue. In lieu of flowers, a donation to The Heart Foundation at St. Paul’s Hospital (Providence Pavilion) would be appreciated.
As you share the stories and the memories of how they lived their lives and how very much they meant, may you find comfort...
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Pep Sewell. Predeceased by her mother Ida Watson, father James Watson and loving husband Ken Sewell. Survived by her sons Jim (Connie) and Leslie; two daughters Lauranne (Mike) and Wendee (Kelly); grandchildren Corey, Tyson, Tara and Kelsey and great granddaughter Emma. Pep loved life whether it was travelling the world, zip lining up Grouse on her 80th birthday with her family, bowling Tuesday mornings with the girls or going for lunch or dinner with her many many friends. Always dressed to the nines and looking fabulous. Pep truly was a beautiful person inside and out. She will be missed by her family and many friends. No funeral by her request.

The Renegade is smaller and less powerful than most of its Jeep siblings, but the little trucklet can take you just about anywhere you want to go with ease – including straight up a mountainside. It is available Destination Chrysler in North Vancouver. PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH
Renegade an off-road essential The search and rescue folks refer to them as the 10 Essentials: 10 things you should always have with you whenever you venture into the wilderness.
Grinding Gears Brendan McAleer
They are, in no particular order: a light, a signalling device, a fire starter, extra clothes, a pocketknife, portable shelter, food and water, a small first aid kit, some way of non-electronic
navigation, and your cellphone. Permit me to suggest an 11th option: a Jeep. Look, this one’s even pocket sized! Meet the Jeep Renegade, a cute-ute that’s about the size and shape of an OtterBox. A result of Fiat-Chysler’s new global manufacturing strategy, it’s got all the characteristic looks of a real Jeep, but actually shares a platform
with the Fiat 500X. A softroader Jeep? Uh oh. But hang on a second. This particular example is actually the Trailhawk edition. That means it’s supposed to have all the capability of a rough and tumble Wrangler, just in a smaller package suitable for the urban life. To test out this little trucklet’s bona fides, I called up North Shore Rescue and
requested an assist. Does the Renegade still qualify as an off-road essential?
DESIGN Well, it’s certainly as boxy as you expect any Jeep to be. Basically a square on top of another square, the Renegade resembles nothing so much as a cubist portrait of a pug. It’s like a puppy, all head and tiny paws. To this simple shape,
Jeep has affixed every possible Jeep reference in case you don’t think this littlest Jeep is Jeepy enough. If you think the preceding sentence contained the word “Jeep” too many times, just hang onto your hat. The rear taillights are styled to look like jerry cans. The cupholders are contoured with maps of the

Original Shelby Cobra sets sales record
A biweekly roundup of automotive news, good, bad and just plain weird:
FIRST SHELBY COBRA SELLS FOR $$$$$$$$ The madness and mayhem of Monterey Car Week is over now, with empty champagne bottles piled high in drifts. As usual, it was an affair of excess, and as usual the traffic was bad enough it’d have you wishing for a bicycle instead. Over at the auctions, however, wellheeled folks were throwing money at vintage sheet metal as if they’d gone completely crazy. Given how much collectors were spending on classic Ferraris and Jaguars, the auction of the very first Shelby Cobra attracted a great deal of interest. For the Shelby brand, this is genesis: chassis number CSX2000 is
Braking News Brendan McAleer the very first V8-powered machine assembled by Carroll Shelby and his crew, and is unrestored. Everything’s original, except the paint colour. Shelby, ever the tricksy selfpromoter, had this first car painted multiple times so that it would appear to the press that multiple Cobras were already coming off the
line. In point of fact, they had just this one, which appears in the blue that was the last colour used. Total price tag? A whopping US$13.75 million. Converting to Canadian funds, that’s enough to purchase the entirety of Prince Edward Island and set up your own country: Potatolandia. Still, classic car experts looked a little surprised that the Shelby didn’t crack the $20 million barrier. Could the market finally be softening? For now, this Shelby sits on the record books as the most expensive American-made machine ever sold.
TESLA P100D QUICKEST NEW CAR ON THE ROAD What a time to be alive. The fastest-accelerating four-wheeled machine on sale today is a four-doored
luxury sedan – and it’s electric. Already silly fast, a new battery pack for the Tesla Model S pushes the car to be able to run to 100 kilometres per hour in a claimed 2.5 seconds, making it as quick as hybrid supercars from Ferrari and Porsche. Because of the way electric cars work, boosting up the available power also increases the range. The new P100D can thus boast a range of 500 kilometres, more than enough for it to operate as anyone’s daily driver. Obviously, that’s a maximum range, and if you want to warp to highway speeds repeatedly, expect your range to evaporate accordingly. Just as, it should be pointed out, fuel economy goes to pot when you behave the same way in a gasolinepowered AMG or BMW M. This new 100 kWh battery is more complex to produce than the current P90’s power pack, and Tesla’s announcement indicated that initial production might be limited. It’s also very expensive: Canadian pricing is yet to be released, but the car will cost $141,000 in the United States. If you’ve got a P90D on order, you can upgrade to the full 100 for a cost of
$10,000. If you’re driving around in a 90D already, a 100 level upgrade will cost about $20,000, and require a battery swap. So, in 2016, it’s possible to buy both a 707 horsepower manual-transmission Hellcat Challenger, and a full electric sedan with about the same power. I’d argue that the perfect garage kind of needs both.
HONDA PATENTS 11-SPEED TRANSMISSION While the top end of the market exults in ludicrous displays of power (be it electric or internal combustion), the mainstream manufacturers appear to be working on some clever tricks to improve fuel economy. Honda, for instance, has just patented something mindboggling: a transmission with 11 speeds. Do we not already have enough speeds in our automatics these days? After all, Mazda seems able to easily hit their fuel economy figures with just a plain old six-speed. Still, Honda’s new 11-speed ‘box is apparently not just an automatic, but a triple-clutch transmission with the ability to shift both extremely fast and with
great efficiency. How it works is as yet unknown, but it would appear as if the tough new emissions requirements of the future are driving manufacturers to continually innovate. The only trouble is that all this growing complexity must surely lead to worse reliability.
AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE RIDE SHARING BY 2021 Ford, the company that put America on wheels with the Model T, has recently announced an ambitious plan to create a ride-sharing fleet. In partnership with Uber and Lyft, the company plans to release a fleet of full Level 4 autonomous cars into select cities by 2021. As full level four machines, these cars will have no steering wheel, no gas pedal, and no brake – no human controls at all. You’ll summon one on your smartphone, and it’ll whisk you off to your destination. It sounds like nothing we’ve ever seen before – except for taxicabs, which pretty much currently do the same thing. However, in the autonomously-driven future,

Boxy shape has useful space ENVIRONMENT Leaving aside the cutesy details – is that mud-spatter instead of a red line on the tachometer? – the Renegade is actually a pretty usefully sized machine. For its relatively small size, having a boxy profile gives it excellent second row room, and a useful trunk. The removable roof panels are a neat gimmick, but

Renegade does OK on road, incredible off it From page 40 as the bag for them uses up the whole floor of the trunk, I can’t imagine you’ll be popping them off regularly. Other demerits include so-so visibility, and a seating position that’s a bit tricky to get just right. Comfort is good, however, and if you can look past the cartoonish elements, this is a pretty spacious little urban crossover. So let’s drive it up a mountain. For its relatively small size, having a boxy profile gives the Renegade excellent second row room, and a useful trunk. PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH
PERFORMANCE There are ordinarily two
engine choices available for the Renegade: a 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder with 160 horsepower, and a 2.4-litre normally aspirated engine with 180 h.p. The Trailhawk is only available with the latter, combined with all-wheel drive and Jeep’s nine-speed automatic transmission. On the road, the combination is just OK. This fully equipped Renegade is relatively heavy at more than 1,600 kilograms. The ninespeed automatic makes the most of the power on tap (early versions of this transmission were problematic,
but the programming seems greatly improved), but this little machine isn’t the pocket-rocket a Nissan Juke is. However, it’s a great deal more civilized for day-today than a Wrangler would be. And then there’s what happens when you take it off-road. The trail up to Mount Strachan is a steep path lined with jagged rocks and cut across by streams from the spring runoff. You need special permission to drive to the top, so North Shore

Ready to carpool without a driver? From page 38 you won’t have to actually talk to anyone except on your social media fields, and that’s what’s important, right? There are, of course, some cities where an autonomous fleet will work better than other places, especially as an intense mapping effort seems to be part of Ford’s plan. Densely built up areas like San Francisco’s Silicon Valley will probably be the first frontier for Ford’s fleet, with a tech-savvy population that won’t find a completely driverless car too weird. The future, therefore, is still more than a few years away. In the meantime, you’ll still have to call a cab. Watch this space for all the week’s best and worst of automotive news, or submit your own auto oddities to mcaleer. nsnews@gmail.com.

The distinct seven-slot grille is one of the many unique styling cues that make the Renegade an unmistakable Jeep offering. PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH
Rescue has come along in their fully off-road-prepped 2008 Wrangler Rubicon. It easily dispatches the ruts with heavy suspension articulation. The Renegade, on the other hand, looks like a cartoon sidekick next to the jacked up Wrangler. However, it easily dispatches even the roughest sections, crawling over the rocks and creek beds without a moment’s hesitation. You can credit the littlest Jeep’s proper low-range gearbox and

A new Metro Vancouver study aims to help drivers reduce their fuel consumption. FILE PHOTO
Drivers wanted for study on fuel consumption Want to learn how to drive better while saving money and cutting greenhouse gas emissions? Metro Vancouver is looking for 200 volunteers for a seven-week driving study on reducing fuel consumption.
The Smart Drive Challenge aims to get drivers to use 15 per cent less fuel through efficient driving techniques and feedback from a “smart” device connected to the vehicle’s computer. The wireless device anonymously tracks fuel consumption and vehicle movement information and displays the daily data on an online dashboard. For the first three weeks, participants will drive normally while the device collects baseline data. Then, participants will watch a 30 minute online training course and during the last three weeks of the study, participants will endeavour to apply efficient driving techniques to reduce fuel consumption. “Personal transportation is one of the biggest
contributors to climate change and degraded urban air quality,” said Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, chair of Metro Vancouver’s climate action committee. “Studies like this are an important part of meeting our greenhouse gas reductions targets of 33 per cent below 2007 levels by 2020 and 80 per cent below 2007 levels by 2050.” The goal of the study is to better understand the effectiveness of training and feedback in helping drivers reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. Following the study, results will be analyzed and used as a basis for developing future programs. “Everyone can help make air quality better within our region,” stated Greg Moore, Metro Vancouver chairman. “We hope that giving people better feedback about their driving will help them make choices on the road that contribute towards sustainable transportation goals.” The application deadline is Sept. 30. Eligible participants must have a clean driving record, a class five driver’s licence and drive five days a week or more. Vehicles must be from 1997 or newer. For more information or to apply, visit: smartdrivemetrovancouver.ca.
