‘Wake-up call’ for property owners

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

Les fears expropriation without compensation

hat some describe as a recovery plan for a tiny endangered fish, Chilliwack MLA John Les calls a new level of intrusiveness onto private property.

Dozens of concerned farmers turned up at recent consultation meeting beld by the federal fisheries department (DFO) in Chilliwack

regarding the draft Salish sucker recovery strategy.

Les said the numbers seemed to surprise the DFO staff.

“People, quite fairly, are quite concerned about what the impact is on private land,” Les said, adding that the draft stage of the recover strategy is one of the first direct intrusions of the Species At Risk Act (SARA).

W

“This is another wake-up call for people to understand the far-reaching effects of some of these pieces of legislation.”

DFO and species protection clashing with the concerns of farmers is by no means a new issue in the Fraser Valley.

In 2001, the provincial government made a move that applied the

1997 Fish Protection Act to developable land in urban areas, which slashed the value of land by tens of millions of dollars across the province.

Chilliwack farmer Vaila Charles saw the value of her four-hectare parcel drop from $1.7 million to $325,000 in just three years after developers noted two creeks run-

ning through the property.

Ten years ago, Charles told the Vancouver Sun that setbacks consumed all but one hectare of the property, which was sold a year earlier to pay for care for her elderly mother.

“The government gets the rest of the land,” Charles said in 2001. “It was very disappointing and very frustrating. We thought the stream See PROPERTY, Page 3

he future of development in Chilliwack’s eastern hillsides will be up for discussion later this month as the city continues with phase two of the Eastern Hillsides Comprehensive Area Plan (EHCAP).

The plan has undergone several change since its inception in 1994 and its inclusion as an appendix to the city’s Official Community Plan in 1998.

Last year the city began work on a new plan for the eastern hillsides to address a long-term land-use vision for the area.

The plan was launched in May of last year and a “Vision Café” was held at Unity Christian school on June 24 to get public feedback.

At that time attendees expressed an interest in having no townhouses or apartments, no clear-cutting, and keeping the area livable.

Some challenges addressed included: the quality of multi-family See HILLSIDES, Page 15

he public has no reason to fear a man who twice visited local day cares and asked to perform a Donald Duck voice for children, according the man’s wife.

Last week, the owner of a Reece Avenue day care urged other childcare centres to keep their doors locked after a man had entered

Early-onset dementia the reason for man wanting to do Donald Duck voice

asking to do a Donald Duck voice for her children. The owner was worried that the man may have had ulterior motives.

But the man, it turns out, is a 53year-old former plumber suffering from early-onset dementia, according to his wife.

The man often shows off his Donald Duck voice, but apparently didn’t realize that his actions could be misconstrued. His wife says she has spoken to her husband about visiting day cares.

Alzheimer’s disease normally strikes those over 65. Early-onset

Alzheimer’s accounts for only five to 10 per cent of all cases.

“It’s hard when it’s this age,” sighed the man’s wife, who works with seniors.

She said the RCMP has been contacted and were very sympathetic to the pair. But she wishes the day care operators would have asked her husband his name, as she believes that would have avoided any concern in the first place.

Won’t be played for ‘country hicks’ PROPERTY, from page 1 would be an asset.”

Back then there was much concern about this kind of indirect land expropriation with no compensation, an issue Les brought up at DFO’s public meeting at on Jan. 17.

Les said he was concerned the recovery strategy may be the “thin edge of the wedge of expropriation without compensation.”

However, farmers like Andy Bodnar in Agassiz don’t even like the idea of compensation for land lost to setbacks as that would validate the expropriation of land.

When this issue was brought up with Agassiz-based fisheries biologist Mike Pearson, who wrote the draft recovery strategy for the Salish sucker for DFO, he said there has been a lot of miscommunication: “I can assure you it will not be 30metre buffers on farmland all over the valley.”

But Les said it was irresponsible that the possibility of 15- to 30-metre riparian setbacks off certain creeks and ditches is included in the body of the recovery document.

“Farmers have seen this movie before,” Les said. “Clearly work has been underway for some time. There is speculation right in the document about 30-metre riparian zones.

“I think at the public meeting [local farmers] served notice they are

Riparian setbacks designed to protect species at risk could mean farmers will have to stay 30 metres away from water.

“Farmers have seen this movie before. Clearly work has been underway for some time. There is speculation right in the document about 30-metre riparian zones.”

John Les not going to be played for a bunch of country hicks.”

Les compared the current dispute to the recovery work done for the

spotted owl in British Columbia.

While critics of Les’s government say it allowed logging in spotted owl habitat, which led to the decline of the owl, Les said the issue is that much was done but it didn’t work.

“Millions of acres of forested land have been set aside for spotted owl habitat . . . that has meant a significant limitation on the forest industry,” Les said. “Has there been any success? Not a bit. If anything, it’s more rare than it was previously.”

He said the Salish sucker recovery strategy could be similar and could affect 500 acres in the Chilliwack area and even more in the District

DFO will accept feedback on the recovery strategy until Feb. 11 through the website at www.pac. dfo-mpo.gc.ca/consultation/saralep/salish/index-eng.htm.

DFO will then work on a recovery strategy for the Salish sucker and Nooksack dace, another endangered freshwater fish found locally.

Retiring ex-cons put Chilliwack high on their list

BY CHAD SKELTON Vancouver Sun

T

here are more federal parolees per capita living in Victoria than any other city in Canada, and New Westminster is a close second, according to internal government data obtained exclusively by TheVancouver Sun. Indeed, the data reveals there are so many ex-cons living in Victoria and New Westminster that their share of parolees is more than six times the national average.

Chilliwack and Prince George are also among the top 10 cities nationally for parolees, both with more than three times the national rate.

Victoria has 146 parolees and a population of just under 80,000, giving it a per capita rate of 187 parolees per 100,000 residents.

New Westminster’s per capita rate is 167, Chilliwack’s is 94 and Prince George’s is 79.

The national average is just 25.

Following Victoria and New Westminster, the cities nationwide with the greatest share of parolees are Moncton, N.B. (155), Kingston, Ont. (127) and Prince Albert, Sask. (108).

release.

While some are required to live in a halfway house, most are free to live on their own, anywhere from a rented apartment to a rel-

ative’s basement.

All parolees have to report their current address to their parole officer, who then records it in the government’s Offender Manage-

ment System.

Parolees must continue to report their address until the end of their sentence.

Those sentenced to life in prison, such as murderers, must check in with a parole officer until they die.

Through the Access to Information Act, The Sun obtained from the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) a list of how many parolees lived in each Canadian city as of October 2010. The Sun then compared those figures to each city’s population in the 2006 census, coming up with a rate of parolees per 100,000 residents for each city.

It’s impossible to know for sure, based on the data provided, whether some parolees may be mistakenly listed as living in Victoria even though theyreside in nearby Esquimalt or Oak Bay, which could inflate Victoria’s per-capita rate.

Chilliwack has a parole office and a community correctional centre, a government-run facility that houses offenders on day parole.

Inmates can apply for day parole six months before they become eligible for full parole. On day parole, offenders are required to come back to a designated facility, such as a halfway house, each night.

EU agreement poses threat for local board

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

T

he Chilliwack board of education is taking on the European Union.

At a board meeting Tuesday, trustees passed a motion calling for local government bodies to be exempted from a far-reaching free trade agreement currently being negotiated between Canada and the European Union.

According to trustee JohnHenry Harter, who tabled the motion, the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) poses a potential threat to the autonomy of local government bodies like boards of education and municipalities.

“It may seem very odd that we would be making any motion regarding a trade agreement with the European Union,” he said. “On the surface I could agree with that, but the problem is that the European Union is insisting that any trade agreement they would sign would allow them access to the procurement procedures of subnational governments, and for us, clearly, the concern is the school board.”

Government procurement (money invested by governments in goods, services or capital projects) is a hot topic in the CETA negotiations because governments are the largest purchaser of goods and services, and the EU wants access not only to federal and provincial government procurement contracts, but also to Crown corporations and institutions in the so-called MUSH sector — municipalities, universities, schools and hospitals.

Under such an agreement, bidding on school district purchases and capital projects would have to be open not only to firms in B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan (as they are under an existing regional trade agreement called the Trade, Investment and Labour Mobility Agreement, or TILMA) but to firms in the 27 EU countries as well.

One fear is that local companies won’t be able to compete against larger firms with greater international efficiencies.

While this might lead to more competitive prices, it could also mean the loss of local jobs.

“Then the question becomes, what’s your priority,” said superintendent Corrine McCabe. “Is your priority to get the best prices or is your priority to create work for the local econo-

governments from CETA” my?”

But being locked into and to provide municipaliCETA might undermine a ties with more information school board’s ability to set about the deal, which is now those priorities, according to going into its seventh round of closed-door negotiations Harter.

“There’s a potential that in April.

Another possible impact demands more information for school districts and from the provincial governmunicipalities is the strain ment about how CETA will on resources that following impact school boards.

Working under TILMA and local board policies is challenging enough, according to superintendent McCabe, who points to the $100 million in capital projects currently under way in the district.

“We’re a mid-sized district and the work of putting the RFP together for Chilliwack senior really pushed us to our limits,” she said.

Provincial and municipal government procurement are not included in Canada’s current long-term free trade agreements like the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) or the WTO Agreement on Government Procurement, and a growing number of Canadian mayors are calling for more transparency about exactly what is on the table at CETA and the impacts it could have on local governments.

Putting a lid on garbage bin fires

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

F

irefighters responded to a dumpster fire and garbage can fire over the weekend that did little damage but underscored how much less frequently such blazes happen in Chilliwack.

Assistant fire chief Ian Josephson said there was a time when the department would respond to 60 or 70 such fires in any given year.

That number has been slashed considerably and now it’s rare for more than a couple dumpster blazes in any given month.

Josephson credits businesses with helping deter arsonists by locking up their dumpsters. He also posits that perhaps there are simply fewer dumpsters to attract such vandals.

Once, he said, arsonists would “start at one location and hit three or four at a time.” That pastime seems, well, a thing of the past.

Josephson doubts that the two fires this weekend—one in a Luckakuck dumpster Monday morning, the other in a trash bin on Victoria Street on Sunday night—were set by the same people.

Million-dollar contract awarded to Sandpiper Contracting City council awarded the tender for the 2010 utilities upgrade project to Sandpiper Contracting in the amount of $914,405 at the Jan. 24 meeting at city hall.

The proposed project is a combination of one watermain replacement, one sanitary sewer replacement and the installation of a grit chamber on the Marble Hill Road gravity forcemain, according to the staff report.

Five companies bid on the project, but Sandpiper’s came in with the lowest price.

Flora Park Development is looking to rezone six properties at the corner of Macken Avenue and Yale Road to allow for a townhouse development.

A rezoning request to create a comprehensive development zone on the properties was withdrawn by the applicant prior to introduction, and when the comprehensive development zone application did come to council it, was denied on Sept. 20 last year.

A public hearing to consider the 36-townhouse development will be held Feb. 15.

Freedom of Information request numbers down from past year The City of Chilliwack received 35 request for information under the Free-

That number is down from 39 in 2009 and 41 in 2008, but up from 26 requests in 2005, 2006 and 2007.

Prude alert: don’t read this

T

he topic of public breastfeeding is a tired one given perennial media reports of some nursing mother somewhere getting kicked out of a store.

But the very fact that the issue still is an issue among some people bears some recognition.

Vancouver Sun columnist Shelley Fralic hopped up on a well-worn, clichéd high horse of female-columnist-harping-onfeminists with a recent rant of a truly bitter flavour against public breastfeeding.

Two salient points form the crumbling crux of her antiquated argument: “[N]ot everyone agrees, or is comfortable, with the sight of suckling babies tugging on bare breasts in public,” and “Some people think bare-boobed public breastfeeding is vulgar or sexual or culturally inappropriate. Others, especially citizens of the older vintage who were born to a different era of decorum, are embarrassed by it.”

To that I would say that if you think breastfeeding is vulgar you are clueless. If you think it’s sexual you’re just stupid. If you think it’s culturally inappropriate, well that’s your problem. And if you are embarrassed by it? Again, your problem.

Fralic’s main bile is reserved for “young mothers” who refuse to cover up completely, but to that end she suggests a mother at a store presented suddenly with a

PAUL J. HENDERSON

SimplyA Musing baby that needs to nurse, should return to her car, turn on the heat, listen to Raffi and keep her despicable act out of Fralic’s “civil society.”

My civil society is different from Fralic’s and I’m glad that no one has been so backwards as to harass my wife for breastfeeding our baby in public.

For every one incident of a woman pushing it a little bit far and then going to the media for attention—as Fralic seems to think every media report results from—there are thousands of woman breastfeeding in public, and thousands of people ignoring/ appreciating/accepting what those women are doing.

The stick-in-the-mud is not the woman who breastfeeds in public and then gets upset when some backwards prude complains about it, it’s the backwards prude, a la Fralic, who is the problem.

But the more positive point to be made, again, is that 99 per cent of people are either OK with breastfeeding in public or they keep their comments and disdain to themselves so a mother can get on with

feeding her child.

Attitudes such as Fralic’s don’t necessarily discourage breastfeeding (although it doesn’t help) but they certainly don’t encourage what can be an awkward and challenge experience for some women.

Mainstream medical ambivalence towards breastfeeding really doesn’t help but more and more public bodies declare breastfeeding important.

The U.S. Surgeon General recently issued a call to action stating that it takes an entire community “to create an environment where mothers have the support and confidence to initiate and sustain breastfeeding.”

The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding infants for the first six months of life “to achieve optimal growth, development, and health,” and continued breastfeeding for up to two years or beyond.

Fralic said flagrant breastfeeding in public is not an issue about a breastfeeding mom’s rights but is about “common sense, and decency, and respect for others.”

I would suggest that no matter how over-the-top militant one individual mother is about one particular incident, the conversation is always about mothers’ rights.

And those who think breastfeeding in public is indecent deserve to be forced to go sit in their own car and listen to Raffi.

ast week the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that, unlike any other public place in Canada, the government is free to limit photography and recordings in our courtrooms.

Walk up to the Chilliwack courthouse and you’ll notice a sign that prohibits the use of all cameras and recording devices inside the buildings. That’s why sketches of proceedings are often used by larger newspapers; photographs are illegal.

The Supreme Court’s essential rationale was that the public can’t be trusted to see what goes on in our courthouses. They said judicial proceedings are too nuanced, and the stakes too high, to allow for photography and video cameras and tape recorders and all those other tools of the media that are allowed everywhere else in Canada.

They also worry that the ability to broadcast images and sound could distract those taking part in the proceedings.

We couldn’t disagree more.

In fact, it is because our judicial system is one of the core pillars of our democracy that media should be allowed to broadcast, and take photos, in courthouses.

Our justice system is a frequent target of criticism. But most are unlikely to have ever seen the inside of a courtroom, let alone watched a trial unfold. The justice system is already under public scrutiny and many— for better or for worse—believe that it’s not adequately addressing society’s problems.

Unfortunately, the judiciary seems to think that drawing the blinds is better than holding an open house.

With our justice system at stake, whether or not cameras are distracting for some participants is a minor issue. Still, it is one that could be easily addressed by allocating space carefully and enforcing common courtroom decorum.

It’s worth noting that the ban on broadcasting audio and images from courthouses is government policy. The Supreme Court’s policy merely upholds it.

Attorney General (and Chilliwack-Hope MLA) Barry Penner has indicated that he is open to cameras in courtrooms. But despite being the one man with the power to reverse the outdated policy, he hasn’t actually done anything about it.

Penner is known for his love of photo opportunities. Surely he wouldn’t argue that their omnipresence has detracted from his ability to perform his job. It’s time for him to show the same lens love when it comes to courtroom cameras.

Today’s

Street Hope could use our help Editor: I read with interest your article on page 6 of the Friday, Jan 28 Chilliwack Times “City feeling less than charitable when it comes to panhandlers.”

First let me say I do have a heart for those people and have given money, or sometimes Tim’s cards or grocery cards, as I do wonder how much they get and what they actually do with the money. And I have noted it does cause traffic issues.

While I commend Mayor Sharon Gaetz and the city’s efforts and recognize the good that the organizations of Ruth and Naomi’s, Salvation Army and Community Services do, I feel there is one organization in current crisis mode, and more need that would likely help rectify some of this situation.

Maybe not many know about it yet, and I have no connections other than seeing it on Facebook through a friend of a friend, but I have noted that John Howard Hood who, along with his fiancée, operates a charitable organization called Street Hope, is in dire need of funding.

They are a non-profit organization (who can give tax receipts) and are currently receiving little to no funding and cannot meet salaries at this time. In fact, I believe they are taking money from their own savings to make ends meet; and we all know how long that can last.

My understanding is that this organization takes men off the streets, supplies beds and food and spiritual guidance that offers them a way to a lifestyle of hope and freedom from drugs.

I have come to the conclusion that it may be much better than giving money to someone begging, who may or may not spend it on food and then still see no lifestyle change, to give it to some charitable organization such as Street Hope that is offering a way off the streets and off drugs and offering a life of hope and normality.

I did email them and it is my understanding if just 75 to 100 people would give consistently $10 a month or 10 to a dozen or so businesses or churches or generous persons would consistently give $75 a month, this society could survive and do some good for Chilliwack.

Tax deductible receipts can be given if donations are made through Threshold Ministries, c/o Director Dave Denault with the notation Street Hope of the Fraser Valley (Chilliwack) in the memo portion.

Also, it would help if you would join their Facebook page so you know when they are in need; and if you have appliances or furniture or

Fortunate to have good docs Editor: The family of Charles (Chuck) Hempstock would like to thank Dr. James G. Stopforth and the staff of the Chilliwack General Hospital, Acute Care Centre for their compassionate and professional care of our father.

Dr. Stopforth personally contacted family members in Alberta and provided direct care while Dad was in the hospital, and his efforts and those of the hospital staff allowed him to pass on in comfort and with dignity.

The hospital staff that called when he had passed on were both compassionate and professional.

Your community is blessed to have such fine individuals and a marvellous health facility.

Smacks of intolerance Editor: Re: Kathleen McCune’s letter in the Jan. 28, Chilliwack Times.

Your blanket condemnation of homosexuality is shameful, arrogant and hateful. What you have displayed about yourself for readers is far more in the realm of “abnormal” than those with the courage to accept and celebrate how God created them. I’m so sorry to disappoint you Kathleen, but you don’t have exclusivity on “normal.”

You do have a disturbing, twisted view of our fragile humanity.

Loneliness, self-rejection, and sickness of mind and body—terms you use freely to define individuals you have never met. Give me a break. The gay and lesbian

“lifestyle?” It’s no more of a lifestyle than any friendship, relationship, marriage or path of human existence one may “choose.”

Your so-called “conservative” viewpoint smacks of intolerance. What would Jesus say about your behaviour? My bet is he would say, “love your neighbour and be accepting of all people.”

Last time I read the Bible we were all God’s children weren’t we?

Kathleen, take a piece of your own advice, direct yourself towards getting some help.

K. Philps Chilliwack

Thanks, but no thanks for help Editor: Re: Jan. 28 letter by Kathleen McCune ‘Hope and Help for Gay People.’

I can understand why someone who has not had a close relationship with a gay person might see homosexuality as a lifestyle choice.

I believe Kathleen McCune is expressing genuine concern when she recommends a relationship with God and the healing fellowship that comes with belonging to a congregation as the antidote to the alienation some gay people feel. I think we can all agree that the miseries of life visit each of us in turn, regardless of our sexual orientation, and the teen years can be especially difficult, but can we also agree that gender and sexuality is more complicated for some than for others?

In my 35-plus years as a professional musician, I’ve known and worked with hundreds of gay and lesbian people, some of whom have become dear, lifelong friends.

In my humble opinion, sexual preference is decided by nature well in advance of adolescence and is not a choice at all. It’s like being born with green eyes, not the norm but natural and beautiful nonetheless. Many gay people attend church and are happy and balanced individuals even as they strive to be understood by those in our society who range from perplexed to appalled by their predilection. Bisexual people

often choose traditional relationships rather than face the judgement of those who have never experienced attraction to the same sex, conforming outwardly to avoid stigmatization, but they do not change inherently.

I appreciate Ms. McCune’s effort to help people who are suffering but I hope she can appreciate how her assumptions about something she obviously has no direct experience with can’t be taken seriously by those of us who respect and love our gay friends and family members exactly as they are.

Money is far better spent Editor: Re: Misunderstood role of Forces by Bruce Davis, Times, Jan. 14.

Mr. Davis argues that the Canadian Armed Forces serve peacekeeping missions both at home and abroad, and that the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) is likewise of crucial importance. Is the CCG “‘the military?”

He is correct. But my point was that even if the $9 billion spent on jet fighters somehow contributes to peacekeeping (i.e. defending our Arctic sovereignty) that effort is less about humanitarianism than nationalism, and more likely to create problems than solve them.

Please note also that International Co-operation Minister Bev Oda announced Tuesday the total amount of Canada’s support for Haiti, and the figure is a mere one per cent of that being spent on fighter jets (CBC article “Haiti relief gets $80 million from Canada” Jan. 19, 2010).

So let us not fool ourselves into thinking we are doing all we can to help others in times of trouble. Furthermore, even after paying for the Haiti relief, and let us double the annual operating budget of the CCG (about $650,000 for 2009-10 according to the Fisheries and Oceans website), there would still be a balance of around $8.9 billion left in government coffers were we not purchasing new jet fighters.

Then we could replicate our efforts in Haiti in a hundred other places around the world or, as Mr. Hodge suggested in the letter I was originally responding to, we could do a bit better in taking “care of our own.”

With continual and escalating underfunding of our education and health care systems, there is little justification for worrying about the perennial cold war going on in the Arctic.

Losing streak at five

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

T

he Chilliwack Bruins’ losing skid now sits at a seasonhigh five games after dropping decisions Friday and Saturday to the Spokane Chiefs and Kamloops Blazers, respectively.

After surrendering 16 goals in the first two games of a threestop road trip, the Bruins visited Spokane Friday to face one of the Western Hockey League’s top teams.

And while Chilliwack surrendered a pair of power play markers and fell behind twice in the first period, Marc Habscheid’s squad didn’t buckle. Thanks to a shorthanded marker by Jamie Crooks and a late-period goal by Mike Forsyth, the Bruins entered the second period tied 2-2 with the Chiefs.

When they retook the Spokane ice, things got even better, briefly, with Robin Soudek scoring on the power play 36 seconds in to give the Bruins their first lead in a week.

But the Chiefs fought back and second period goals by Darren Kramer and Matt Marantz put the home side ahead entering the third

And with 10 minutes left, Tyler Johnson scored his 37th goal of the year to seal the 5-3 victory for Spokane.

The Bruins returned home Saturday to the friendlier confines of Prospera Centre to face the alsostruggling Kamloops Blazers.

But even Kamloops proved too tough for the Bruins, who fell

5-1 to the visitors in front of an announced crowd of 3,748.

It didn’t take long for the Blazers to seize their vulnerable opponents by the throats. Thomas Frazee scored just seven seconds after Kevin Sundher had taken a hooking penalty 67 seconds into the game.

The Blazers added a second power play goal but Roman Horak

countered with his 19th for the Bruins to pull the home side to within a goal entering the second period.

The Blazers, however, hit the ice a determined squad in the second period and poured 25 shots at Lucas Gore. The game was the ninth straight outing in which the Bruins have been outshot.

Two of those found their way into

the back of the Bruins net 29 seconds apart as the Blazers grabbed a 4-1 stranglehold on the game. ◗ The Bruins will hope that the interior of the province will cure their ills as they travel to Kelowna to face the Rockets on Feb. 2 before squaring off again with the Blazers on Feb. 4 in Kamloops. Both games start at 7 p.m.

“It was imposs ible not to be impresse d with the Grand Che rokee’s capabilities; giv en lowrange gearing and 4.1 in. of air-adjust able ride height, the Jee p was ready to go an ywhere we dared. Diffi cult slickrock climbs su ccumbed to the Grand C herokee’s electronically controlled traction aids ju st as readily as Hill D escent Control made inching down the othe r side a feet-flat-on-th e-floor proposition... a nd by day ’s end the G rand Cherokee man ifested itself as an am azingly broad-talented vehicle.”

Road and Track Mag azine

“Under the hood, the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee gets an all-new 290-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 that’s vastly more powerful and fuel-efficient than last year. A 360-hp V8 is still offered as an option. To make sure the vehicle keeps a firm grasp on its off-road credentials, Jeep has made an air suspension system available and a drive-mode selector that tailors the powertrain and suspension for specific types of terrain. Also new is a fully independent rear suspension (a first for the vehicle) that improves ride quality.”
