LionsGate roadplate raises ire
It’s not a speed bump.But it sure does feel
like one when you hitit unexpectedly at 50
kilometres per hour.The Ministry of
Transportation andInfrastructure hasinstalled a “temporaryroad plate” as part of theLions Gate Bridge northapproach viaduct joint
renewal project.The plateallows workers to replacethe bridge deck jointunderneath and should begone in the next week anda half.
But whether it’sstartling drivers or slowingthem down, it’s been acommuter headache,said Peter Ferlow, a WestVancouver resident whoworks downtown.
“A friend of ourswho was coming fromSquamish on Mondaymorning was surprised byit and actually got some airin their car,” Ferlow saidwith a laugh. “It’s addedanother 20 or 25 minutesto my commute fromdowntown. It’s a trafficparking lot from GranvilleStreet on Georgia, all theway to the bridge.”
The project was meantto make the bridge decksmoother and quieter butFerlow said the completedsections still provide arough ride.
“The guys with thePorsches and Ferrarisand anyone else with lowprofile tires is getting theirfillings knocked out andthinking that their tires arepopping,” he said.
Ferlow said he is alsoconcerned about theproject getting behindschedule and over budget.The province initiallyannounced a $4.2-millionbudget for the project inJuly 2014 and a completiondate of fall 2014.Theministry’s website nowlists the project cost at

Bulcroft’s five-yearcontract was scheduledto come to an end thissummer, but at the requestof the university’s board ofgovernors, she’s agreed tostay on for one more year.

Court delaysAnnapolis sinking
Friends and neighboursare reaching out tohelp the family of ElenaCernicka, the NorthVancouver womanwho died in a fall whilemountaineering on JoffrePeak Jan. 11.
Cernicka leaves behindher husbandTomas and theirtwo sons.
BrendenTorrell and hisgirlfriend Allisha Matthews,who live next door and havea daughter close in age tothe Cernickas’ eldest, havelaunched a crowdfundingcampaign aimed at offeringsome financial support to the
young family in mourning.“I just was heartbroken,myself,”Torrell said. “Ijust couldn’t believe andimmediately just wanted toknow what is the way that wecan help.”
The campaign, whichcan be found at YouCaring.com by searching the nameCernicka, allows visitors tomake a donation and leave amessage of condolence.
There aren’t usuallywords that can assuagesomeone’s grief but thedonations should at leastrelieve some financial stress,Torrell said.
Because their kids wereclose to the same age,Torrellwould often see Elena withher sons in the park or onGrouse Mountain for skiingor hiking. “She was just asuper nice lady.Very happyand always smiling. Greatwith her kids. Always takingher kids out to ride theirbikes or do something activebecause they were veryoutdoorsy people,” he said.“Loved to explore. Loved theadventure.”

The saga continues.The Annapolis will not
be sunk anytime soon.Federal Court Judge
Michel Shore granted theSave Halkett Bay MarinePark Society its requestedinjunction, on Monday inVancouver, to not allowthe former warship to bemoved into position forsinking.
The Artificial ReefSociety of BritishColumbia had scheduledto move the ship onTuesday, Jan. 13 fromLong Bay off GambierIsland, to Halkett Baywhere it was set to becomean artificial reef.
The court alsoscheduled a hearing forJan. 27 to consider SaveHalkett Bay’s injunction tostop the sinking altogether.
“Justice Shore’s orderis clearly in favour ofprotecting the environmentby keeping the nowderelict Annapolis atanchor until he has achance to decide whetherEnvironment Canadabroke the law by issuinga permit to sink it,” GaryMacDonald of SaveHalkett Bay stated in anews release.
In a last-ditch effortto stop the sinking of the
former warship, whichwas scheduled to gounderwater on Jan. 17,the society had petitionedthe Federal Court Jan.6 to issue an injunctionpreventing the proposedsinking in Howe Sound.
In the interim, the courtwas scheduled to hear the
group’s request to stopthe Annapolis from beingmoved in preparation forsinking.
The not-for-profitlobby group bases its latestobjection to transformingthe ship into an artificialreef on the results oftesting done on paint
chips off of the Annapoliswhich had tributyltins,compounds designed toprevent the growth ofmarine life, according toMacDonald.
TBTs are banned byorder of a United Nationstreaty, which includesCanada.
Members of SaveHalkett Bay Marine ParkSociety have been fightingthe sinking of the HMCSAnnapolis for six years.
Representatives fromthe Artificial Reef Societyof British Columbia werenot immediately availablefor comment.

in Switzerland when Cap’slast presidential searchcommittee sourced her out.She opted to take the reinsat Cap to be closer to herfamily on the West Coast,she said.
“I thought ‘That wouldbe an interesting job. Capsounds like a place thatreally cares about studentsand is really focused onteaching, which of course,is my value set too.”
The last years ofBulcroft’s term have beenturbulent ones as theuniversity has dealt withdiminishing operatinggrants from the provinceand budget shortfalls thathave led to a swath of
programs being cut fromthe school.
In 2014, the CapilanoFaculty Associationcalled for her resignationand a laid-off studioarts instructor made aneffigy of Bulcroft thatitself became a source ofcontroversy.
But, Bulcroft said, thechange and controversy atCap is no different thanany other post-secondaryinstitution that hasbeen forced to deal withchanging demands and doso with less money.
As the school’s leader,it was on her to take theheat, no different than inpolitics, she said.
“Whether it’s fair orunfair, I don’t know.
Change is what it is and Ifelt an obligation to leadus through that change.I don’t deflect blameon others. I will takeresponsibility.”
And Bulcroft said shewill leave with far morepositive things to reflecton than negative. Amongher top achievements arethe strategic plan andoverseeing the creation ofsome new student-focusedfeatures on campus like theBosa Centre for Film andAnimation, the AboriginalGathering Space, and theCentre for InternationalExperience.
“The students arereally using the spaces.It’s really changed, Ithink, the culture of the
campus turning us muchmore toward a destinationcampus for students,” shesaid.
Shelley McDade,chairwoman of the board,said the board is gratefulfor Bulcroft’s contributions— especially the strategicplan, which Bulcroftworked hard to ensure wascrafted with the input ofall stakeholders on and offcampus.
“The last couple yearshave been a real strugglefor post-secondaryinstitutions around NorthAmerica and there’s newrealities around funding,competition for studentsand, of course, students’needs are changing,” shesaid. “We’ve worked really
hard to get this plan puttogether to help us navigatethese changes. And we’rereally grateful that Krishas agreed to extend hercontract so she can leadthe implementation of thiswork.”
Cap will strike apresidential searchcommittee, made upof students, faculty,administration andnon-teaching staff.Theuniversity will hire asearch firm and likely startseeking candidates by June.
For the yet-to-be-named incoming president,Bulcroft has this piece ofadvice.
“Have a thick skin,” shesaid. “And a good sense ofhumour helps too.”

There was a minorpileup at the north end ofthe bridge on Wednesdayafternoon, according toWest Vancouver police, butit’s not clear whether theroad plate was a factor,according to Const. JeffPalmer,West Vancouverpolice spokesman. Aslong as people are payingattention and watchingtheir speed, there’s noreason the plate should bea danger, he said.
“There is a lot ofsignage warning thatthere is a bump and thereare flashing lights at theimmediate site of the bumpand there’s marking onthe speed bump.There’sa great deal of warning,”he said. “People are goingto slow down for a lot ofreasons on the Lions GateBridge and apparentlynow for the next seven to

A6 - North Shore News - Friday, January 16, 2015
The bell of free speech isringing loudly these days.But free speech hurts.Somebody. Some interest.Some wallet.That is whythere are always attemptsto stifle it. Read on.
First, the obligatorystatement of revulsion forIslamic or any terrorism.But theWest is hardlyblameless.
TheWest’s muckinginto Middle East mattershas largely been a disaster.European colonial powersdrew many illogical nationalboundaries there. Araband Muslim nationalists— anyone destabilizingthe status quo, anyoneobstructing oil flow— is automatically vilified.Notice that Syrian PresidentBashar Assad abruptly felldown the enemies list, allbut disappeared from themedia, when the greaterthreat of ISIS materialized?
Note well: As an editor
who made tens of thousandsof choices, I would never— as I wrote at the time— publish the blasphemousnovel by the unpleasantlyegotistical Salman Rushdie,or the mocking Danishcartoons of Mohammed.They understandablyinfuriated Islam and openedthe door to fatwas andterrorism.They made freespeech synonymous withstupidity.
Note this above all:Horrific as it is, Islamicterrorist groups useterror only as a tactic.The deeper strategy isgrimmer, as Simon FraserUniversity history professorAndre Gerolymatos, aninternational expert onespionage and intelligence,warns.
Their goal is to stampedeWestern people intoturning on their Muslimpopulations, to provoke ourown hate-filled version ofjihad against everyone withthe faith indiscriminately.That in turn would tauntand goad all Muslimcountries into joining inthe monumental bloodbathof an apocalyptic religiousglobal war.
Don’t take the bait.
• • •
Now another exampleof free speech that won’t beuniversally welcome.
It began with a complaintof one or both of theowners, apparently feelingthe heat of continuingcontroversy, of the hugehouse planned forWestVan’s Kensington Crescent.This item appeared in thispaper on Dec. 31 under theheading Setting It Straight:
“To correct informationin previous news articleson Sept. 7, Oct. 5, and Oct.22, as well as theTrevorLautens columns on Oct. 10and Nov. 7, the size of thehouse under construction inKensington Crescent,WestVancouver, after blastingpermits, is 12,063.27 squarefeet, not as previouslyreported at 16,000 squarefeet or 17,500 square feet.”
To the reader, this wasadmission of a mistake.But it says here thatunidentified reporters andeditors — myself annoyedless than you might think— shouldn’t have been
thrown under the bus. No,the bus wheels stop at townhall, its councillors andbureaucrats. (Pause for this:The Kensington Crescentedifice is entirely legal— because they allow it. Ibelieve there’s hardly a jotof political will at town hallto limit house size, protectneighbourhoods, and allthat good stuff.)
I emailed Bob Sokol,WestVancouver planningdirector, copies to themayor and each councillorand others, questioning thehuge discrepancy in theKensington house’s squarefootage figures. No onereplied.Town hall chose toanswer to higher journalisticauthorities. I trudgedon. Oddly, following thisbouncing ball turnedout to be maddeninglyentertaining.
You might assumereal estate mathematicsare bound by iron hoops.
Turns out they’re amazinglyarbitrary, varying fromjurisdiction to jurisdiction— almost as muchmumbo-jumbo as science.For example, in somejurisdictions “heated space”determines square footage.Cathedral ceilings? Countdouble.
WestVancouver’s rulesare that the following canbe excluded: A garage orcarport to a maximum of440 square feet; decks,porches, patios, gazebos,tool sheds, pool houses, atticspace, crawl space.
So town hall employs aformula. And this formula— the easily missed phrase“after blasting permits”above apparently refers toa change in the prospectivesize of the basement— massaged the size ofthis particular house downby roughly 4,000 or 5,000
Terror a tactic, deeper strategy is grimmer
Trevor LautensThis Just In
Fossil foolsSeemingly determined to destroy the
credibility of the Fraser Institute,the Fraser Institute released another
study this week.Heroically stretching the definition of
think tank, the institute’s latest opus takesa swipe at unenlightened activists frettingover increased oil tanker traffic.
Oil tankers are far less likely to runaground these days than they were in the1970s.
“And yet,” the study’s author notes,“some activists and politicians wantto restrict and/or ban tanker traffic inCanadian waters.”
It is true that some environmentalistshaven’t moved on from Enbridge’s230,000-litre spill in 2012 or the ExxonValdez disaster of 1989 — but then again,neither has the environment.
More than 25 years after Exxon’s deluge
of oil coated the Alaska coastline, manyanimal populations are still recovering.A pod of orcas didn’t produce a singlecalf in the 20 years following the spill andthe once thriving herring population hasshown no signs of recovery.
Back then, the oil industry characterizedthe chances of a spill as infinitesimal,WestVancouver Mayor and oilman MichaelSmith noted during last year’s debateabout LNG tankers in Howe Sound.
Maybe the oil industry was wrong backthen and they’re right today. Maybe HoweSound will be fine and every drop of LNGand Alberta oil will make it to Asia, whereit will be burned and belched into theatmosphere. Maybe the Fraser Institutehas a point: we shouldn’t worry aboutwhat will happen if something goes wrong.We should worry about what will happen ifeverything goes right.

Trying to gauge whethera liquefied natural gasindustry is going tofinally establish a toe-hold in this provinceremains a riskyendeavour, more sonow that oil prices haveplummeted to near-record lows.
While LNG is not oil,the price of oil determinesso many things that allindustries are affectedby it.When oil pricesdeteriorate like they havein recent weeks, they senda ripple effect through theworld economy.
One of the impacts isthat banks and capitalfinanciers become moreconservative in backingshort-term capitalinvestments, and somecompanies begin tonervously watch theircash flow situation andcontemplate reducedspending.
Aside from the wildvolatility in the energysector right now, B.C.’swould-be LNG industryis already facing otherchallenges, not the least ofwhich it is trying to enter
an intensely competitivesector, and countries likeAustralia, Russia, Qatarand the U.S. have been inthe game longer.
Still, B.C.’s cabinetminister responsible forLNG, Rich Coleman, lastweek reiterated his never-dying optimism that oneof the more than a dozencompanies with LNGterminals on the drawingboard for B.C. will makewhat is called the FinalInvestment Decisionsometime this year.
While it’s easy todismiss Coleman’senthusiasm as a case ofpolitical delusion, there are
some clues out there that,behind the scenes, thingsare happening that mayindeed see at least one ofthe LNG companies finallymake the call to set upshop in this province.
First of all, there hasbeen a sudden and steadyincrease in the number ofkey First Nations bandsthat have inked revenuesharing agreements withLNG companies to sharein any potential windfallfrom their projects.
At least eight northernFirst Nations have madesuch deals, and the moneyinvolved is substantial.Some bands will beguaranteed a substantialannual revenue stream,which could have anenormous positive impacton the economic health oftheir members.
Wet’suwet’en FirstNations chief Karen Ogentold the Vancouver Sun:“Do we want a better lifefor our people?Yes, we do.How are we going to get it?Not by sitting here waitingfor government handouts.”According to the Sun,her community will get
almost $3 million (if theShell LNG plant actuallygoes ahead), to be usedto increase education andskills for its 242 members,as well as being investedin housing, health andculture.
While a number of FirstNations bands remainfirmly opposed to LNGprojects and pipelines, thisspate of agreements maysignal that First Nations’opposition may be waningin the face of lucrativepartnership agreements.
Another importantdevelopment on the LNGfront occurred just beforeChristmas. AustralianLNG giant WoodsidePetroleum Ltd. boughtout Apache Corp.’s 50 percent share of the proposedLNG project near Kitimat(Chevron has the other 50per cent).
A number of analystshave noted a financialtransaction of thismagnitude (almost $3billion, which includesApache’s interest inan Australian LNGterminal) doesn’t occuras a mere whim, and
may indicate the Kitimatproject is closer to a FinalInvestment Decision thanmany may have thought.
Finally, the head of theB.C. LNG Alliance, DavidKeane, has pointed out adecision to invest in LNGis not going to be basedon the price of energytoday. He told me theseare long-term investmentdecisions, and that “supplygaps” of energy need to befilled over the next 30 or40 years.
He says he is veryoptimistic at least one FIDwill be made this comingyear.The Asian demandfor LNG over the next fewdecades will only grow, nomatter what the price maybe today, he says.
The proposed LNGprojects for B.C. aren’tslated to come on streamfor at least several years,so the spot energy markettoday could be longforgotten by the time anyof those terminals are upand running.
Nevertheless, thegreat guessing game willcontinue for some monthsyet.
We should know by theend of the year whether theBC Liberal government’sall-in strategy fordeveloping LNG in B.C.will begin to pay off, orwhether it ends up holdinga losing hand.
The way things lookright now, I’d be surprisedif at least two or threeterminals don’t go ahead.
That’s nowhere near asmany as Premier ChristyClark envisioned in thelast provincial electioncampaign, but even twoor three LNG terminalswould provide a healthyrevenue stream for aprovincial government.

A8 - North Shore News - Friday, January 16, 2015
Driving up to see the latest homes at
British Properties I simply had to pull
my car over to take in the view. A crisp,
but very bright winter’s day put the
entire City of Vancouver at my feet, to
the west a glorious ocean vista, and the
Gulf Islands beyond.This is the sort
of view that the rest of the world aches
for. A few yards on, I stopped at my
destination, 2726 Highview Place and a
show home at Aston Hill, British Pacific
Properties’ latest offering. Aston Hill is
a rare and very limited style of home in
the remarkably exclusive neighbourhood
of Whitby Estates which is best known
for spectacular single family homes that
can easily sell for north of $8,000,000. In
comparison, Aston Hill is a hidden secret
of opportunity with sales prices that start
at a more approachable $3,000,000.
I met up with Geoff Croll, President of
British Pacific Properties: the company
that built the Lions Gate Bridge and
has been quietly developing Canada’s
prestigious British Properties for more
than eighty years. Croll, who kindly
gave me a tour, explained Aston Hill is
“something special” not just because of
the obvious quality and attention to detail
but because “a variety of home styles in
a neighbourhood make for a greater sense
of community and therefore, a more
interesting place to live”.
With a limited edition of just twenty
semi-attached three bedroom, two and
three storey homes, Aston Hill is already
twenty-five percent sold and will be
move-in ready this spring. Built with
solid concrete construction and
ranging in size from approximately
3,100 to 3,800 square feet, each home
is thoughtfully planned with its own
private elevator so no heavy luggage or
grocery carrying is required. Every home
features large open plan living space for
impressive entertaining, fabulous vistas
with over height glass doors and windows
leading to several terraces, which can
add anything from 500 to almost 2,000
square feet of outdoor living space.
Croll also pointed out that Aston Hill
is just a five minute drive to Ambleside
or Dundarave, and 20 minutes to
downtown, proving that Vancouver can
sometimes be better to look at than live
in.Two of the best schools in the region
are close by, and the proposed village
nearby on Cypress Bowl Road will
ultimately provide more amenities and
shopping opportunities.
The form of ownership at Aston Hill is
condominium style so each home can
offer the “lock and leave” convenience
for owners who like to travel or spend
time elsewhere. Someone else will take
care of the gardening and maintenance,
and meanwhile your luxury vehicles can
stay safely secured in your own private
garage that is attached to your home.
This is no apartment, it is technically
a townhouse, but in truth an Aston
Hill home is everything a single family
house is without being one; without the
price tag and without the maintenance
headaches. I’m in.

A Lower Lonsdale manis in intensive care afterbeing struck by a vehicleand thrown from hismobility scooter.
The incident happenedjust after 5:30 p.m. onSaturday at the corner ofSt. Georges Avenue andEast Second Street inNorth Vancouver.
A witness toldinvestigating officers hesaw the man on his scooterdriving in the middleof the road when thetruck turned left onto St.Georges and collided with
him, according to police.“He sustained head
injuries. He’s still inintensive care,” saidCpl. Richard De Jong,North Vancouver RCMPspokesman, on Tuesdayafternoon. So far, there isno word on whether therewill be any charges.
“Who has the right ofway at that point? That willbe determined throughthe investigation,” De Jongsaid. “The footnote isboth the truck driver andthe scooter driver need tocomply with right-of-ways,rules and regulations of theroad, signage, speed limitsand those sorts of things.”
North VancouverRCMP have beenresponding to aninordinate number ofcollisions with pedestrianssince winter began.
Contributing factorshave been darkness, badweather, distracted drivingand pedestrians walkingout onto the road withoutpaying attention. But DeJong acknowledged, thoseare perennial problemsand, so far, there’s notheory on why 2014-2015 has had so manypedestrian injuries.
“I don’t think you couldnail it down to one thing,”he said.

What do you do when your children are oldenough to fend for themselves?
If you’re Don McGlashan, you start makingalbums.
The New Zealand singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and father of two is back with anew album, Lucky Stars.
The 10-track disc is the joyful music of a middle-aged man with a rambling mind, featuring paeans toloneliness and forgiveness, scenes of planes flying byand waves rolling in. McGlashan finds gratitude forlife in the New Zealand dawn and the reflection in agas station’s smash-proof glass.
The six-year gap between releases is unusual forMcGlashan, who has rarely been more than threeyears between albums, whether solo or with NewZealand band andTragically Hip touring mates
The Mutton Birds.“For many years I’ve supported the family
by moonlighting out away from performing andwriting songs to work on film scores,” he explains.
His downtime also included writing music forthe RugbyWorld Cup, but in the future he plans tofocus more on his own music.
“The kids are old enough now that they canfend for themselves, I think,” he says.
While musicians like Axl Rose seem to revel insequestering themselves in a recording studio in thehopes of securing musical perfection, McGlashantakes the opposite view.
“If you spend too long between albums someof the songs start to be a little bit like those thingsat the back of the refrigerator that you pull out andyou wonder what they were when you put themin,” he says. “I’m going to try and avoid that in thefuture.”
McGlashan speaks to the North Shore Newswhile reeling from jet lag and the temperatureshock of leaving New Zealand’s summer seasonfor B.C.’s winter, but he’s quick with a self-effacingjoke.
When I suggest his songwriting trajectory, goingfrom longer, story-based songs to shorter tunesthat focus on a single emotion is similar to BruceSpringsteen’s musical orbit, he laughs.
“Thank you for mentioning me in the samesentence as Springsteen without a qualifier like‘not,’ or ‘no way.’”
Still, he can’t disguise his enthusiasm whendiscussing the album’s title track.
“With ‘Lucky Stars’ I just went, ‘I’ve had thisfeeling, I just want the song to be about that andnothing else,’ and it was quite revelatory,” he says.“A lot of people have been able to do that rightfrom the very start of their careers. It’s taken medecades.”
McGlashan used to toil over fragments of ideasuntil he found a way to turn them into stories.Andwhile he’s a great admirer of narrative songs like“Long BlackVeil,” he also has an affection for purepop.
“Some of the songs I love most are the songsthat, I turn on the radio and I hear a new song and

Lucas Foss has more than30 years of experienceworking with adults withdisabilities. He’s also anaward-winning playwrightand his most recent work,Re-calculating, drawsinspiration from his longprofessional career.
Foss retired fromCapilano University in 2013after 22 years as a disabilityservices advisor. Shortlybefore his retirement, though,the NorthVancouver residentcompleted a one-year paideducational leave to focus onhis writing.
“What I decided to dowas to create a disability
awareness piece for post-secondary institutions,”Foss says, explaining thatRe-calculating was stagedat several colleges anduniversities in B.C. He neverintended it for professionalproduction, he says, untilhe was approached byRealwheelsTheatre, aVancouver-based companythat creates and producesperformances that aimto help audiences betterunderstand the disabilityexperience. Foss worked withdramaturge Liesl Laffertyto co-write a new renditionof his play, which is beingpresented by Realwheels Jan.22 to 24 at CBC Studio 700.

Eastwoodkeeps itsimplewith Sniper“I have a very strict gun-control policy: if there’s agun around, I want to be incontrol of it.”
— Clint Eastwood.
■ American Sniper.Directed by ClintEastwood. StarringBradley Cooper.Rating: 7 (out of 10)
JULIECRAWFORDContributingWriter
In American Sniper 84-year-old director ClintEastwood tells the story ofthe deadliest sniper in U.S.history, but wisely avoidspoliticizing the history ofreal-life Navy SEAL ChrisKyle.
Kyle logged over 160 killsduring his four tours of Iraq,a record. In case the viewerhas any difficulty rootingfor such an expert killingmachine, and in a conflictwhere it’s not always easy todistinguish the good guysfrom the bad, Eastwoodmakes it simple: the openingscene shows an armedwoman, then an armed child,threatening a U.S. convoy.And when a seemingly kindfamily invites Chris and hisfellow soldiers to sit down fora meal, it turns out there isa cache of weapons hiddenin the floorboards. No moralcomplexity here; this is aboutthe man, not the conflict.
A beefed-up BradleyCooper, who packed on areported 40 pounds for therole, plays Chris, a cowboywho finds his life’s purposewhen he enlists. He meetsTaya (Sienna Miller) at abar and she says what someof the audience is secretlythinking: “You’re a SEAL?You’re a bunch of arrogant,
egotistical pricks.” Chris’earnestness about servinghis country and Cooper’sinherent charm effectivelyshoots us all down andmakes us feel sorry for everdoubting him. Plus, he doesthat trademark good-guything of holdingTaya’s hairback when she throws up allthose shots of Jameson.
But one tour of dutyturns into two.Then threeand four. Chris becomes theangel of entire platoons onthe ground, shooting enemiesfrom nearby rooftops above,and before long he is simplyknown asThe Legend. Hespends more than a thousanddays in enemy territory,forsaking his wife and twokids stateside. “Do you wantto die?You don’t know howto quit,”Taya observes.Thedust and the killing leaveChris homesick. He justcan’t reconcile that withfatherhood and mowing thelawn back home.
Chris has an ongoingrivalry with a Syrian nationalnamed Mustafa (SammySheik), the enemy versionof himself.The film excelsin these tense battle scenes,the climactic battle in asandstorm, in particular.
The rest of the film dealswith Chris’ debilitatingPTSD.“What haunts me isall the men I couldn’t save,”he eventually tells a doctor,who points to a hospitalhallway full of injured vetswho need saving.
Chris Kyle’s story is lesssensational here than inhis autobiography — onetale of which resulted ina defamation suit fromwrestler/governor JesseVentura (now under appeal).It’s difficult enough tonominate a prolific sniper for
sainthood without all thosebad-boy bragging stories, soEastwood keeps the storytrim.
Domestic scenes,however, are too brief andprovide too little detailabout Kyle’s journeyfrom professional killer torehabilitated family man.In fact, other than a briefhunting outing with his son,there’s only one scene meantto suggest that Kyle is backto normal: he walks into thekitchen, leading with hisgun, pointing it at his wifein a kind of sexy game whilethe kids play nearby. “I’m sohappy I’ve got my husbandback,” she says before thefilm ends abruptly less thana minute later. Some of uscould have used a little moreconvincing.
Cooper nails theTexas drawl and makes acompelling patriot, elevatingthe film beyond ordinary.Had Eastwood drawnChris Kyle’s home life withthe same focus as he didhis expert marksmanship,American Sniper would havebeen a sure-fire hit.

BOOKS
Writer’sworknever strays far fromhome
Wales-based, Deep Covenative Tyler Keevil wasdescribing his continuedreturn to the PacificNorthwest in his writingat a reading held atthe Aberystwyth ArtsCentre Bookshop inWestWales when an audiencemember raised her hand.
“‘It sounds like you’retalking about ‘hiraeth,’”Keevil, 35, recalls hersaying.
Unfamiliar with theWelsh term, the authorasked the woman toexplain.
“Hiraeth,” which lacksan English translation,speaks to, “a form ofyearning or longing forsomething that’s lost or forthe homeland in a way,”says Keevil. “I think a lotof my work grows out ofthat, about the fact thatI have left home, but I’mcontinually looking back
towards it.”“Even though I’ve been
living over here for 10years I find, artistically, I’malways drawn back home.Maybe it’s . . . out of asense of homesickness ornostalgia,” he adds.

BOOKS
According to theorganization, the JourneyPrize is awarded each yearto a developing writerfor the best short storypublished in a Canadianliterary publication. It’smade possible thanks to thedonated Canadian royaltiesfrom James A. Michener’s1988 novel, Journey.
“Sealskin” was firstpublished in Nelson, B.C.’sThe New Orphic Reviewand also appears in TheJourney Prize Stories 26 inaddition to Burrard Inlet.
This year’s JourneyPrize finalists includedVancouver’s Lori McNultyfor “Monsoon Season,” andCleaYoung for “Juvenile.”Both received $1,000.
Keevil is no stranger to
awards, having receiveda number in the UnitedKingdom thanks to thesupport of the Welshpublishing industry, whichhas strongly embracedhis work. He received the2011 Media Wales People’sPrize for Fireball and TheDrive was shortlisted forthe 2014 Wales Book of theYear, going on to receivethe Wales Book of theYearPeople’s Choice Award.
Being honoured inhis native country withthe Journey Prize was animportant milestone.
“It was so nice tohave some recognition inCanada and to be ableto go back there for theceremony, and to meet a lotof people in the Canadianpublishing scene was awonderful opportunity and
really gratifying,” he says.Born in Edmonton,
Keevil moved to Vancouverat age eight. His familymoved to Deep Cove whenhe was 12, and he attendedSeycove secondary.
“That’s always beenhome ever since,” he saysof North Vancouver, wherehis parents, and sister andbrother-in-law reside.
Currently he lives inAbergavenny,Wales, UnitedKingdom with his wife,Naomi, and their two-and-a-half-year-old son Daniel.The couple met whenKeevil, an English studentat the University of BritishColumbia was on exchangeat Lancaster University.They are expecting theirsecond child at the end ofApril.
In his younger days,
Keevil worked a wide arrayof odd jobs, both in Canadaand the United Kingdom,including as a tree-planterin northern B.C. and adeckhand on an ice barge.In his early 20s, he workedas a labourer for onesummer at the VancouverCanfisco shipyards fishprocessing plant at the footof Gore Avenue. His stintinspired the setting for“Sealskin.”
The award-winningshort story is describedas portraying a terribleact of cruelty that forcesthe tensions between twoworkers at a fish processingplant to spill out intothe surrounding waters.Journey Prize judges hadthis to say about the work:“Tyler Keevil’s ‘Sealskin’ isa stunner: straightforwardand unadorned, buthumming with subsurfacepower. . . . Keevil hasaccomplished somethingrare: a story about roughmasculinity that brims withemotion and pathos.”
While geography andaccuracy of location havealways been importantto Keevil as a writer, he’squick to issue a disclaimer,“Sealskin” is not a truestory.
“A lot of the time forme, writing, you do drawon experiences in thatbeing able to build the setand the feelings of thoselong days and the arduouslabour in the summer heat,next to the smell of thatplant,” he says. “And all ofthat percolates over timeand then revisiting it years
later you start to play whatI call, ‘The what if game.’And you think, ‘Oh whatif that had happened andif that had happened thenwhat if this had happenedas a result of it?’ So youstart to build a fictionalnarrative on to the realmemory imprint that youhave, if that makes sense,”he says.
“And that’s the casefor a lot of my work. AndI think for me it’s usuallyimportant to be able todraw on experiences,but then fictionalize andfabricate on them soyou don’t cling to theexperience, you don’t onlywrite autobiographically,but neither do you totallymake things up. It’s thisblending of experience withimagination that can createan authentic piece of work,but also one that’s got astrong story and a strongnarrative in it,” he says.
In addition to hiswriting, Keevil teachescreative writing atthe University ofGloucestershire inCheltenham, England.
He’s grateful for theteachers and mentorshe’s had over the years,starting at Seycove, thenat UBC and while workingat Theatr Powys, a MidWales community theatreeducation company thatalso employed his wife.From a young age, he’sbeen encouraged tofollow a creative path, andmentors instilled a passionfor story, drama andnarrative that still guides
him today. Now, he worksto do the same for his ownstudent charges.
“You remember thatwhen you set foot inthe classroom and youthink you do have thisresponsibility as well withyoung people.You want toinspire them, you want toset the fire going and passthat on,” he says.
Something else thatcontinues to drive Keevilis the perspective gainedover the years that storyis a meaning-makingmechanism.
“We use story to makesense of our lives and ourplace in the world andI think that’s so hugelyimportant and that willnever fade and we’ll alwaysneed it.We need fiction,we need stories, we needto make sense of the chaosof our lives and we do thatthrough narrative,” he says.
For Keevil’s next work,he once again plans to setit in Vancouver, this timecrafting a novel telling asibling story. However onlytime will tell what comes tofruition.
“I was joking with mystudents the other day thatI tend to have an idea Ireally pursue that I think isgoing to be wonderful andit doesn’t work. And then,out of the ashes an idea, anew book arises, and thathappened with my firstnovel and that happenedwith The Drive. It seems tobe I write one kind of deadbook and then somethingleaps out of it that I didn’texpect, kind of sideways,”
Summer job inspired the short storyFrom page 24

Book explores 10unique livesFashion writer turns herattention to storytellingCHRISTINE [email protected]
If Marilyn R.Wilson’scloset could talk, it wouldtell some fascinatingtales.
She estimates aboutthree quarters of herwardrobe is comprisedof garments created bydesigners she has eithermet or interviewed in the10 years she has beenwriting about fashion.For Wilson, a Richmondresident, covering thefashion industry has alwaysbeen about more thanluxury labels and seasonaltrends. It’s about thepeople behind the clothingand the stories they tellthrough their designs.
“It’s always the people,”she says. “And in general, Ifind artists can be some ofmost intriguing people tointerview.”
Inspired by the manystories she has heard athome and abroad,Wilsondecided to compile 10of her most memorableinterviews into a book.Life Outside the Box waspublished by NorthVancouver’s InfluencePublishing and will beavailable for purchase as ofFeb. 1.
Seven chapters featurepeople Wilson hasinterviewed in the past— from U.S. luxury shoedesigner Ruthie Davisto Norwegian perfumerGeir Ness to textile artistand eco-fashion designerKatherine Soucie.Theother three chapters arebased on new interviews
with spoken word artistShane Koyczan, BeautyNight Society founderCaroline MacGillivrayand the North Shore’sJulie Salisbury, founderof Influence Publishing,who walked away froma successful career inproduct development inthe U.K. to live on a boatfor seven years beforelaunching her currentbusiness.
Though the storiesdiffer wildly, they all focuson passionate individualswho have overcomeroadblocks on theirrespective paths to success.
“It is supposed togive you permission tobe unique, to not fit themould, to define yoursuccess individually,”Wilson says of her book.
Life Outside the Boxis Wilson’s first bookand the culminationof 18 months at thekeyboard. Her writingcareer started 10 yearsago when she answered aCraigslist posting seekingcontributors for a NewYork magazine.That jobopportunity fell throughbut, in the process,Wilsonconnected with a localphotographer and endedup launching Fame’dMagazine, a Vancouver-based online and printpublication that profiledprofessionals workingin the fashion industry:designers, stylists, hair andmakeup artists, patterndrafters, design schools,event planners andstudents.
After four and a half
years, the magazinefolded. Meanwhile,Wilson was also workingas an editor and writerfor NewYork-basedonline fashion publicationRaine Magazine — aposition she still holds
— and freelancing for otherpublications. But she wascraving something more.
“I began to want tomove beyond fashion andI really wanted to tell lifestories.That’s what I love,I love interviewing,” she
says. “I happened to juststumble into a women’snetworking event one nightwhere Julie from InfluencePublishing was speakingand from the moment she

Book launch party doublesas author’s birthday bash
started speaking I tearedup. I just knew this was theperson I needed to workwith.”
As a hybrid publisher,Wilson says Influencerepresented the perfectbalance between self-publishing and traditionalpublishing.
“Hybrid publishinggives you that happymiddle space where youkeep the rights to yourbook, but you control thecosts and you get support.”
Accustomed towriting magazine articles,Wilson says the processof authoring a 200-pagebook was quite differentfrom what she knew.Withmagazines, she would oftenfind herself having to cuta 1,700-word piece downto a lean 800 words. Butwriting chapters for LifeOutside the Box presentedthe opposite challenge.
“When I signed thecontract for this book, Itruly felt it would not bea problem to write 5,500
words on each person,” sherecalls.The first day shesat down at her keyboard,though, she maxed out at2,000. “It was a really rudeawakening.”
It meant having to goback and re-interview mostof her subjects to get moredetails, personal anecdotesand the type of contentthat would allow the 10stories to flow from chapterto chapter.
“There was a lotof panicky momentswondering if I would figure
it out,” she says, but addsthat by chapter six shefound herself getting thehang of things. “Writing isa very lonely process andthen you throw yourself outthere in the world hopingpeople will like it.”
The Life Outside the Boxbook launch event, whichcoincides with a milestonebirthday for Wilson, willtake place Wednesday,Jan. 21 from 6:45 to9:30 p.m. at FanClub indowntown Vancouver andfeature a number of liveperformances.
“It is meant to benot a book launch in thestandard sense. It’s meantto be a celebration withthe community that keptpatting me on the back andsaying, ‘You can do this,you can finish, I’ll buy yourbook.’”

electronic drums.And likehis character, he has been ina wheelchair since sustaininga traumatic spinal cordinjury as a result of a divingaccident. But that’s wheretheir similarities end.
“Jonathan’s experience inthe play, other than his injury,is mostly fictionalized,”Foss says.Through hismonologue, Jonathan reflectscandidly on his life, hisidentity, his relationships andhis disability.
“The audience, throughthe intimacy of the character,they get to see that they’renot so different and we’reall really just doing the samething.We’re trying to moveforward, we’re trying to heal,
we’re trying to find somekind of grounding in life.”
Although Symington hasspent a lot of time on stageas a drummer in bands, hehad never acted before Foss,his longtime friend andcolleague, approached him
with the opportunity.“He really jumped in
and he’s really found that hekind of loves it,” Foss says.“Dave has quite a capacity toconnect, almost immediately,with this character.”
Because Re-calculating waswritten to create awarenessand equity, Foss says castingan able-boded actor asJonathan would not have theintended impact.
“I really felt that theaudience would feel trickedand that audience memberswho have a disability mightbe very reactive to that.”
Foss started workingwith adults with disabilitiesin 1976. His interest in thefield of disability serviceswas sparked while he wasan undergrad at Carleton
University.Working asummer job at the telephonecompany, Foss frequented anearby pool hall on his lunchbreaks and would often seetwo elderly men talking insign language while they ateby the window.
“I just thought that wasvery interesting and I’d neverseen anything like that,” herecalls. So, he started takingAmerican Sign Languagelessons and, after finishinghis degree, he began workingwith deaf and hard-of-hearing adults inWinnipeg,kicking off a long career asa service provider for adultswith disabilities.
In more recent years, Fossbuilt another career as anactor and writer. He wrotehis first play, LittleVoices,
in 1999 and it went on towin the 2013 PlaywrightsGuild of Canada ComedyAward. Foss also performsin the solo show, which hepresented most recently atPresentation HouseTheatrelast fall.
When the curtain closeson this new productionof Re-calculating, Foss ishopeful that members of theaudience will have learnedto see the person before thedisability.
“There’s a permissionthat’s given from the playso the next time they seeor have an experience withsomeone with a disability,they don’t have to be nervousor judgmental,” he says. “I’mgoing to be very interested tosee how audiences react.”

it floods me with one feeling.It’s all just one colour, andI don’t need to necessarilyknow all the words.”
Most of the album wasrecorded in relative seclusionat a beach house not far fromAuckland, New Zealand.
The house was emptyexcept for the echoes whenMcLashan showed up witha laptop, a microphone anda preamp — and went towork nailing all the sheetsand blankets to the walls.
“It was like being a childand building a castle outof all the bedding in thehouse.”
He reveled in splendidisolation, rewriting the lyricsand recording vocals, butsomething was missing fromhis “log cabin” sessions.
“Although I was reallyenjoying the recording
process, some of the songswere a bit more social thanthat and they needed a bitmore joy in them.”
The album’s sociabilityis added byTom Rodwell’sguitar. Rodwell fades into thebackground on the album’sslower songs, adding gentle,tumbleweed-like twangs onthe ballads and thick licks onthe up-tempo tracks.
“It was a pretty piecemealaffair but that’s what itneeded because I think I wastrying to make a personalalbum,” McGlashan says.
It was so personal thatMcGlashan’s daughter wasthe only one he trusted tolisten to it.
“I was very wary ofplaying it to anybodybecause I didn’t want to betoo swayed by them,” hesays. “My insecurities are ingreat shape . . . and they canbe swayed easily.”

They say that life is inthe journey, not thedestination.
Well, Dodge might beasking you to take a fairlyliteral interpretation of thatsaying with their family-sized crossover, a three-row replacement for thevenerable Caravan minivan.
That’s right, the Caravanis no more.You’ll still beable to buy a ChryslerTownand Country, but as for theinexpensive van that got allkinds of Canadian familiesto hockey practice, soccerpractice, dance recitals,and piano lessons, slidingdoors are on their way out.Minivans as a segment arein a slow decline as moreyoung parents try to avoidlooking like their parents.
Thus, the rise ofcrossovers like these, whicharen’t as thirsty as the oldbody-on-frame SUVs thatonce dominated the roadbut still have some of thatrugged image. Problem is,they’re usually compromisedin one way or another, tryingto be both cargo-hauler andstill retain a modicum ofstreet cred.
So, how does the Journeyfare? Let’s wrestle in acouple of car seats and findout.
DesignSwathed in bright red
paint and fitted with 19-inchblack alloys, the $35,395Crossroads-trim Journeycertainly looks tough enoughto handle a Canadian winter.That big Dodge crosshairgrille has presence, and thecurved bar that’s meant toimitate a lightbar/skidplatecombo looks ready to ramits way through the nearestsnow bank.
From other angles, themain impression is one ofuseful boxiness.That’s great— if the old Caravan didn’thave much to recommendit as a status symbol, it wasat the very least extremely
practical.The Journeyhas much better groundclearance, of course, but it’sstill got the same squared-off lines, and doesn’t appearover-styled at the rear,favouring function overform.
EnvironmentInside the cabin, yes
indeed, it’s quite roomy.There are three rows ofseats here, but the rear isreally only a jumpseat fortemporary soccer teamcarpool duty. However, thefirst two rows have plentyof space for passengers,whether they ride in Gapkhakis or in a rear-facing
child seat.What’s more, there are
cubbies aplenty hidden allover the place, more nooksand crannies than you’d findin the Millennium Falcon.The glovebox isn’t especiallyhuge, but there’s a binunder the passenger’s seat,and two more under thefloorboards on each side inthe back. Emergency snacks,backup Lego for long ferrywaits, or maybe just a diaperemergency kit?That’s up toyou, just be aware you can’treally access them when onthe move.
Rear seat passengers alsohave access to a conventionalhousehold plug and 12-volt
power outlet for chargingelectronic devices. My testeralso came with the $1,200rear video entertainmentgroup, but given that mostyoung kids these days haveiPad minis and the like formuch less than that, knowthat there are enough outletsto keep everybody chargedand quiet.
For the driver, theJourney’s dashboard is avery plain affair, almostcompletely withoutornamentation except forthe 8.4-inch Uconnecttouchscreen.This controlseverything in the car

TODAY’SDRIVE
BRENDANMCALEERContributingWriter
A biweekly roundup ofautomotive news, good,bad and just plain weird:
The mid-enginedCorvette is real
We start our firstBraking News of 2015with a rumour that’s beenaround as long as theexclamation point. “Mid-engined Corvette! Read allabout it inside! Page 64!”
If you’ve ever seensomething like thisproudly emblazoned onthe cover of Road & Trackor Car and Driver, rightin front of an improbable-looking sketch or digitalrendering, then you’reprobably bored of all thespeculation.The buffbooks have been cryingwolf for so long that themost recent round ofclaims was ridiculed,scoffed-at, and basicallyignored.
Um. Looks like even abroken clock is right twicea day.
Recent photographsfrom Car and Driver(they appear to be takenusing a drone) show apickup-truck-looking testvehicle, clad all in black,with the cabin of a currentCorvette, the front clipof an Australian Holden,and an undoubtedly mid-ship engine mounting.It’s got a huge wing andlooks riveted together,so this thing’s a long wayfrom production yet, butit looks like the rumoursof a mid-engined next-generation Corvette arereal this time.
Those rumours indicatethat the C8 (eighth-gen‘Vette) will be shorter,smaller, lighter, and havea smaller engine. It’sreportedly going to becalled the Zora, after ZoraArkus-Duntov, widelyconsidered to be the fatherof the original ‘Vette.
Expect the new ‘Vetteto upset the puristsstarting sometime around2017. Until then, keepyour eyes peeled for moreleaks.
Dodge launches one-of-one custom paint optionforViper
With the superchargedZ06 currently kickingheads all over the track,the mighty Dodge Viperis struggling to maintainrelevance. It doesn’t helpthat the only Dodgesanyone wants to talk aboutare the Hellcat twins.
So what’s a companyto do? Discount theheck out of their 8.0-litre sledgehammer?They’ve already done that,dropping the Viper’s pricesignificantly. OK then, whatabout making the buyingprocess a little more special.
This is a really uniqueidea, and one we mightstart seeing elsewhere. Ifyou buy a Viper GTC,you get to pick your owncolour combo from 8,000different options for paint,24,000 different stripes,10 different wheels, 16interiors, and a half-dozenaerodynamic kits. Andwhen I say “your own,”I mean it. No two ViperGTCs will be allowed to be
built the same.The order process is
pretty great: you get aswatch showing your paintchoice, then a 1:18-scalemodel, and then the caris painted just the wayyou like it, with no oneelse allowed to order thesame car.You’ll be ableto follow through thewhole process online, withconstant updates as the carapproaches readiness.
Now, obviously noteveryone’s in the marketfor a Viper, but as massproduction keeps findingways to customize on alarge scale, it might not beall that long before buyinga new car allows you tohave the same experiencewhen ordering your MX-5or Mustang. It’s a creativesolution to make a car morespecial, and it’ll be nice tosee more of it in the future.
Lower speed limits causefewer pedestrian deathsin NYC
NewYork, the bigapple. “Hey, I’m walkin’heah!” delivered in a strong
Brooklyn accent.That sortof thing.
In a well-of-course-it-didreport, looks like NYC’splan to reduce pedestrianfatalities by dropping thespeed limit five miles perhour actually worked, withfatalities dropping from 180in 2013 to 132 in 2014.That’s still a long way tothe zero deaths claimedas a goal for 2024, but it’scertainly an improvement.
There are other factorsat play here, includingincreased police presenceat crosswalks and moretickets for failing to yield topedestrians, but it looks likethe plan is working.
You have to wonder iflessons learned in one ofthe densest cities in theworld might be applied toour own area.Vancouver’sfatality ratings are a tenththat of NYC, so perhaps wemight be able to reach zerobefore they do.
Toyota shows 2016Tacoma ahead of debut
Vipers and ‘Vettes areall well and good, but here
on the North Shore welove our small pickups.ThecurrentTacoma is so longin the tooth it qualifies asa sabre-tooth tiger thesedays, but not to worry, herecomes the refreshed version.And it’s! Pretty much thesame.
Not much you can dowith a truck, it seems, andthe newToyota doesn’tlook like it’ll surprise much.However, it’s what’s underthe skin that counts, andthe rumour is the updated270 horsepower, 4.0-litreV-6 from the 4Runner willlikely migrate over.
It’d be great to seean extra gear in thetransmission too, butdon’t be surprised if thefive-speed hangs aroundas the automatic option.Here’s hoping the six-speedmanual is still an option too.

including the heated steeringwheel — always a nice touchwhen the thermometer startsdropping — and is veryeasy to navigate through.Uconnect’s voice commandis better than some otheroptions out there, and itsdisplay is large enough notto distract too much fromthe task at hand.
PerformanceThe Journey comes
with two engine options:a 2.4-litre four-cylindermaking 173 horsepower andChrysler/Dodge’s ubiquitous3.6-litreV-6, which puts outa distinctly healthier 283h.p. All-wheel drive is onlyavailable withV-6 models,and the base four-cylindercomes mated to a four-speedautomatic transmission —pretty outdated technology.
On the other hand, theV-6 and AWD tester hadmore than enough shovefor passing and highwayonramps, even when loadedup with the entire familyand all the cargo needed tospend a few days travelling.The six-speed automatic isa bit rough in engagement,especially when cold, but theride and handling are quitegood, even on a windingcountry road.
You don’t really hustlea car with a small childstrapped in the back, notif you don’t want to endup hosing vomit out of thebackseats, so for slow andsmooth driving with some
kid-friendly tunes on thestereo, the Journey provesagreeable. Grip from theall-wheel-drive system wasperfectly acceptable onslippery roads, and at-speedon the highway, wind noisewasn’t really an issue.
“Nice” can be a bit ofan epithet, but apart froma slight tendency to lurchwhen called upon to shiftquickly, the Journey’sunremarkable ride, handling,and performance blendedinto the background, justwhat you want in a familyvehicle. It didn’t thrill,but neither did anyonecomplain.
FeaturesBeing a high-level trim
priced north of $33,000,my Crossroads tester camewith every conceivablefeature. Leather seats wereheated up front, there wasthe aforementioned heatedsteering wheel, and everyonehad a chance to fiddle withthe temperature with three-zone automatic climatecontrol.
I’d probably give theoptional DVD systema miss, but the satellitenavigation and backupcamera package areprobably a must-checkat this level. Both werevery easy to use, as wasthe streaming Bluetoothaudio and handsfree phoneoperation.

TODAY’SDRIVE
somewhat unimpressivescores of 14.5 litres/100kilometres city or 9.9 l/100km highway, and real-worldfigures were similarly in thelow teens.
Buying the four-cylinderfor economy might not bethe smartest move, however,as it’s only a few litresbetter on paper, and beingso much down on power,you’d have to push it a littleharder.
Green lightGood feature load-out;
smooth, comfortable ride;easy-to-use infotainment;excellent space.
Stop signQuite thirsty;
transmission could besmoother; four-cylinder
option needs bettertransmission.
The checkered flagA smartly equipped
machine for Canadianfamilies who wouldn’t becaught dead in a minivan.
CompetitorNissan Rogue ($23,798)
Available only with afour-cylinder engine, butwith seven-seats and all-wheel drive on the table,the new Nissan Rogue iscurrently a hot seller in thecrossover market. Like theJourney, those third-rowseats are emergency-only,but they’re there when youneed them.
Step up to the SL trim,and the Rogue and Journeygo toe-to-toe on features andpricing. However, the Dodgehas the power advantagewith thatV-6, and the Nissanhas the better fuel economywith a four-cylinder andCVT combination. Pickwhich works best for yourneeds.
If you have a passionfor two wheels thenAbbotsford’s Tradex is theplace to be next weekend.
The 2015 VancouverMotorcycle Show is on Jan.23-25 with the world’s topmanufacturers showcasingtheir latest models.Alongside the wide rangeof motorcycles are a hugeselection of accessories,clothing and all manner ofrelated presentations.
This year one of themust-see bikes will be theKawasaki Ninja H2. A 998cc supercharged in-lineengine powers this bike thatlooks like it just rolled off
the track. Harley-Davidsonis bringing its ProjectLivewire, the first Harleywith an electric motor,and Ducati offers a look attheir revitalized Scramblerline, a retro-styled 830cc model that combinesmodern technology with1970s cool. BMW, Honda,Suzuki,Triumph,Yamahaand more will all be there,along with displays ofvintage bikes.
Your chance to throwyour leg over that bikeyou’ve been lusting afterwill be waiting for you atthe Motorcycle Show.
