WILDLIFE CONFLICT

Three more bears dead in Blueridge BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

Another three bears are dead in Blueridge, one after a late-night collision on the road and two destroyed by the Conservation Officer Service.

North Vancouver RCMP say the driver of an SUV collided with a young male bruin just after 2 a.m. Wednesday on the 1800block of Berkley Road.

“Upon arrival, the bear was deceased in the northbound lane.

Witness saw a grey/silverish SUV last seen travelling south on Berkley,” said Cpl. Richard De Jong.

The bear was about two or three years old and weighed roughly 136 kilograms (300 pounds). District of North Vancouver sanitation workers collected the carcass for disposal.

While the driver can’t be charged with a hit and run because those laws don’t apply to bears, police would still like to have a word with him or her, De Jong said.

The SUV “most definitely” would be damaged, he added.

“At this point, we’re looking for anyone who may have a

Firefighters to join fentanyl battle

JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

Firefighters across the North Shore will receive naloxone kits to carry on their trucks and get training to administer injections as part of efforts to combat the deadly effects of fentanyl in the Lower Mainland.

All three fire departments will be receiving training in October and hope to have the kits on fire trucks by November, said City of North Vancouver Fire Chief Dan Pistilli.

Normally naloxone – a drug that can reverse an opiate overdose – isn’t something firefighters would administer, said Jason Deroy, assistant fire chief with District of North Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services. But the ongoing fentanyl crisis has meant a recent relaxation of the rules about who can obtain and administer the drug.

So far, district crews haven’t had to deal with suspected fentanyl overdoses, Deroy said. But “if we do come across someone

Sidewalks are not for bikes: police Uptick in complaints highlights need for safe cycling routes BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

North Vancouver RCMP are asking cyclists to please keep their two wheels on the road or bike lanes, and not the sidewalks.

There has been an uptick in the number of pedestrian complaints the detachment receives, especially around Central and Lower Lonsdale, according to Cpl. Richard De Jong, North Vancouver RCMP spokesman. Officers could

soon be handing out more $109 fines.

One Mountie had a recent run-in with a cyclist on the sidewalk who “didn’t take our suggestion to get off the bike and kept riding.”

“After a brief pursuit, we stopped him and took his bike and gave him a ticket,” De Jong said. “People don’t see it as a serious offence. We’ve had close calls.”

The reminder from the RCMP has opened up another conversation among North Vancouver residents about the sometimes inhospitable places roads can be for people on bikes.

“Why would anybody want to ride on the sidewalk with slow-moving pedestrians?

There’s only one reason for that and that reason is they don’t feel safe on the road,”

said Martyn Schmoll, who frequently posts on social media about “inequities baked into our transportation system.”

“The reason they don’t feel safe on the road is because the roads are designed with zeroaccommodation for anybody but drivers.”

Cameron Maltby, a cycling advocate and self-described “curmudgeon,” said he routinely sees kids biking to and from Carson Graham secondary on the sidewalks but doesn’t fault them for it. “If I was a kid their age, I wouldn’t want to be on West 23rd at all because the speed doesn’t get enforced and, even though it’s not a designated truck route, it’s used as a shortcut from Marine Drive,” he said.

Chesterfield and Jones avenues have similar problems, Maltby added. “They’re

all designed for higher speeds than what the posted limit is. Until the designs change, I think we have to look to the RCMP to start enforcing the speed limit. Otherwise, people aren’t going to feel safe and they’re going to end up on the sidewalk.”

In other areas of North Vancouver, motorists park in designated bike lanes or use them as loading zones, which also tends to go unenforced, Maltby said.

A big part of the problem, Schmoll said, is a lingering cultural view that streets are primarily for cars and not for all modes of transportation, and people on bikes tend to bear the brunt of drivers’ frustrations.

“Statistics in Vancouver actually show that 93 per cent of bike-car collisions are based

on driver error. That’s based on police stats and ICBC stats.

They’re ignoring the statistical reality of the situation and instead, siding with the emotional driver complaint side,” he said. “As a taxpayer who pays, dollar-for-dollar, as much for the roads as any driver, why do I not have safe accommodation on that road?”

De Jong said concerns about street design should be sent to the municipalities.

“If there are areas bicyclists feel are high risk, that’s something that should be directed to the city or the district as well so they can get, perhaps, some more signage or dedicated lanes,” he said.

As for cases of speeding and blocked cycling lanes…

“Call it in. If the police don’t know, then we can’t enforce,” he said.

Neighbours’ actions thwart thefts from auto

JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

For the second time in recent weeks, action by a sharp-eyed neighbour in Deep Cove has resulted in the arrest of a man who was allegedly breaking into cars.

A woman who lives on Brockton Crescent was out walking her dog around 6 a.m last Saturday when she noticed a man going from yard

to yard in the neighbourhood, trying car doors. She called police, who nabbed the man close by, carrying a backpack with what appeared to be stolen items. An 18-year-old North Vancouver man has now been charged with theft and possession of stolen property.

That arrest comes after another Deep Cove resident, on Panorama Drive, called police after being awakened by noise around 2 a.m. on Sept. 8 and spotting a man

walking quickly away from his carport.

In that case, police brought in a tracking dog, which led them to a 31-year-old man hiding in a neighbour’s yard with a number of electronics. He was also arrested.

Both arrests highlight the need for residents to stay alert, and to phone police if they see something suspicious, said Corp. Richard De Jong, spokesman for the North Vancouver RCMP.

They also come after a number of North Vancouver residents have voiced frustration about a recent spike in thefts from cars.

A town hall meeting on Sept. 22 drew a standingroom-only crowd of about 200 concerned Deep Cove residents to Parkgate Community Centre to talk about crime with North Vancouver RCMP. About 1,300 Deep Cove residents have also joined a new Facebook group called

Take Back Our Community Deep Cove Area. The group was started by Deep Cove resident Deb Bramley after she and her husband had their vehicles broken into in May. Bramley brushed the thefts off as a “one-off” – until the crime stories kept coming in from her friends and neighbours.

DeJong said there has been an increase in thefts from vehicles in recent months. “They

Cyclist injured in crash on Marine BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnew.scom

A cyclist is in hospital with serious injuries after being hit by a driver in Ambleside.

The collision happened around 7:20 a.m. Wednesday at the intersection of 11th Street and Marine Drive. “(The) cyclist had severe injuries including a broken neck, pelvis and scapula,” said Const. Jeff Wood, West Vancouver police spokesman.

Witnesses said the cyclist, a West Vancouver man in his 60s, was crossing Marine Drive in the crosswalk when the driver of a grey Volkswagen came through the intersection.

“It looks like the fella drove straight through a red light,” Wood said.

Investigators shut down Marine Drive and detoured traffic for three hours. So far, no charges have been laid, although that can take several days in cases where there is a serious injury.

“They’re still looking for more witnesses so anybody with any information, if they could step forward and contact the West Vancouver Police Department, that would be fantastic,” Wood said.

CITY OF NORTH VANCOUVER: LIQUOR SALES DEBATE

Council votes to uphold 1 km rule for booze outlets

JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

Anyone shopping for wine in a City of North Vancouver grocery store might be in for a long walk.

Council voted 6-1 on Sept.

19 to keep a one-kilometre radius between any outlet hoping to handle liquor, beer or wine – much to the chagrin of a representative from Loblaws.

Sean Makowecky, a senior manager with the grocery chain, urged council to reconsider the one-kilometre rule, which he said would jeopardize their application to sell B.C. wine at their Lonsdale Avenue store Loblaws City Market.

The demand for liquor is strong enough that Loblaws could put bottles on their shelves without “significantly impacting” neighbouring retailers, according to Makowecky.

Save-on-Foods has also applied to sell wine in their Brooksbank Avenue location.

While the policy would be less than iron clad, Coun.

Pam Bookham nonetheless wanted to “send a message to the Jimmy Pattinsons and Loblaws that we do not want them coming forward with

applications to sell wine in their grocery stores.”

The one-kilometre rule is a way to protect established pubs by not pitting them against “the Goliaths of the food industry,” Bookham said.

Council shouldn’t be in the business of shielding one type of business, according to Coun. Holly Back.

“I really think it’s very unfair that that’s the only business that, as council, we protect,” she said.

While Bookham suggested anyone in “dire need” of booze was already wellserved, Back argued that wasn’t the point.

Council should retain the flexibility to allow a pub or bar in any neighbourhood where the residents show a powerful thirst, according to Back.

Because the one-kilometre rule is a policy rather than a bylaw, council can override the guideline if a majority hold that a liquor outlet is a good fit for a certain site.

That latitude displeased Coun. Rod Clark, who dubbed it the “wet noodle approach.”

North Vancouver doesn’t need a further proliferation of liquor outlets, according to Clark.

“I, for one, don’t want to go into Safeway and see three aisles of different types of wine,” he said.

The lone vote against the policy was cast by Mayor Darrell Musssatto, who cited liquor outlets that flourished despite being in close proximity with each other, such as formerly neighbouring The Gull Liquor Store and Liberty Wine shop (since closed) at Park & Tilford.

“It’s something that used to work well in that area and it could work well (again),” he said.

Save-on-Foods “should have the right” to stock B.C. wine, added Mussatto.

Coun. Linda Buchanan was curious how the onekilometre policy would affect existing businesses, particularly around Lonsdale Quay. The Green Leaf brewery and Cheshire Cheese Restaurant and Bar are each less than 200 metres from the Belgian beers of The District Brasserie, which itself is only about 120 metres from a B.C. Liquor Store.

The numerous establishments in contravention with the one-kilometre rule are the product of a “somewhat convoluted maze of different

licence plate number,” he said.

“If they go to ICBC, they may start asking some questions as to what happened. Did they leave the scene on purpose?

Were they not aware?”

On Sept. 22, conservation officers tranquilized and shot a mother and yearling that had become “food conditioned” and lost their fear of humans, according to Insp. Murray Smith. The pair were the subject of more than a dozen complaints since mid-August.

The mother had previously been trapped and relocated to the top of Indian Arm in 2013, and the yearling wasn’t eligible to be taken to a wildlife rescue, Smith said.

“There is no facility to rear two-year-old bears. Critter Care only takes cubs of the year,” he said.

Christine Miller, education co-ordinator with the North Shore Black Bear Society, said the male hit and killed on the road was one that may have been spotted limping through the neighbourhood recently.

The two have since been destroyed. PHOTO SUPPLIED C. SWALES The mother and yearling were also well known.

“She wasn’t particularly healthy anyways. I think life was really hard for this really small young mother but the cub was just the most magnificent, healthy-looking guy imaginable,” she said.

Miller has stepped up canvassing in the area since the last bear was shot in midSeptember. While there are still occasional bird feeders and unpicked fruit, other

forces of nature may be driving the bears into suburban neighbourhoods, Miller said.

“I really think there’s something else going on here. I think there’s just a shortage of natural foods. It’s not that Blueridge residents are being really negligent.”

Another mother bear, this one with two cubs, is also roaming around Blueridge, Miller said, indicating they are continuing to find sources of food where they shouldn’t.

The conservation officer service has received 627 bear reports in North Vancouver and West Vancouver so far this year. In 2015 there were 870.

“Of course, we’re only in September so we’ve got another couple of heavy months,” Smith said.

So far, conservation officers have issued $345 fines to three people on the North Shore for intentionally feeding dangerous wildlife or placing attractants. District bylaw workers have handed out two bylaw infraction notices.

In West Vancouver, four homeowners have been fined $300 and two have received warnings.

The district prefers education over more punitive measures, said spokeswoman Stephanie Smiley.

Smith said people hesitate to report bears for fear they’ll be killed, but early intervention before they become habituated to garbage is often their best hope. “We’d rather deal with the people. That’s our preference, rather than deal with the bears,” he said.

Policy exempts existing business From page 5

regulations” alternately enforced by the city and the province’s Liquor Distribution Branch, according to city planner Michael Epp. Any bar or shop already open for business would not

be affected by the policy, he noted.

The one-kilometre policy comes shortly after council allowed Liberty Wine to open their shop on the south side of Onni’s development at 13th Street and Lonsdale Avenue – only a short walk

from Jack Lonsdale’s, noted Coun. Don Bell.

In that decision, there was a compelling case made for how the dealer would serve the market, according to Bell, who called the new policy, “a reasonable step.”

The city’s previous policy enforced a one-kilometre buffer between liquor stores but not wine stores.

The city will still require a rezoning for all new or relocated businesses selling liquor.

S

ix-year-old Phyllis Webstad wore her prized orange shirt on her first day of school in 1973. But when she arrived, her teachers stripped it from her as she began her time in one of Canada’s Indian residential schools.

Sept. 30 marks Orange Shirt Day, to commemorate the harm done to her and all the other First Nations children taken from their families and forced into the schools – the most egregious failed experiment in social engineering in our Canadian history.

People may scoff at yet another coloured-shirt “awareness campaign” but it’s clear a lot of our adult population was never taught about the schools.

When City of North Vancouver council voted in 2013 to help fund a memorial for the students of St. Paul’s Indian Residential school, which once stood where St. Thomas Aquinas secondary now stands,

most members of council did not know there had been a residential school on the North Shore.

But the more than 2,000 Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh, Sechelt and Musqueam kids who were sent there between 1898 and 1959, they knew. So too would their children and grandchildren – often called the “survivors of the survivors” thanks to the harmful multi-generational impacts produced by the residential school system.

We’re hopeful with recent changes to our provincial school curriculum that this chapter in our collective past will be better understood by our own kids in the future.

We will wear our orange shirts on Friday not because we think it will fix any of the wrongs that have been done but in “spirit of reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come,” as Webstad has requested.

Finding cure for the Cut a colossal challenge

H

ow much can we expect from our politicians?

Right now, you can imagine the retorts and snorts. But it’s not a rhetorical question, especially these days when the most successful politicians routinely overpromise and inevitably under-deliver.

I was prompted to ask this question when my mailbox yielded the Fall Update from Jonathan Wilkinson, North Vancouver MP. Before I go any further, full disclosure: I worked on Jonathan Wilkinson’s election campaign, resigning only when I agreed to write this column.

If anyone asks, I think Jonathan is the template for a great MP: smart, rational, dedicated, idealistic, well-connected … if more politicians were like Jonathan, politicians wouldn’t be fighting it out for the honour of least trustworthy profession along with

CONTACTUS

The North Side Paul Sullivan used car salesmen, and, uh, journalists.

Still, the headline on his latest bulletin made me go hmm: Easing Congestion on the Cut. The rest of the piece outlines what Jonathan has done to date to deal with the mother of all traffic jams: “Over the past eight months,” he says, “I’ve been working with federal, provincial and municipal representatives – initially assessing options, and feasibility and more recently,

reviewing potential designs.

Solid progress is being made.”

Well, it’s not in a league with “Make America Great Again,” but for anyone who has tried to get from Westview to the Second Narrows Bridge any time after 2:30 p.m., the promise of “solid progress” is right up there with manna from heaven.

So why do I have, in the immortal words of Han Solo, a bad feeling about this?

Is it because “solid progress” could mean just about anything but: “traffic will flow freely again within the next few days?”

Months? Years? Decades?

The arrival of self-driving cars?

Teleportation?

Any fool can see that there are so many moving parts to the problem, it’s no wonder there’s a traffic jam. At least something’s moving.

And while our federal MP is assessing options and reviewing designs, other politicians

are busy building highrises that pour more traffic onto the Upper Levels, ramping up the difficulty of the problem that’s not going to be solved by a couple of freeway exits and the replacement of the orange bridge.

The only actual solution, as far as I can tell, is to build rapid transit from a central location on the North Shore across (or under) Burrard Inlet, connecting up to SkyTrain service on the other side. And that’s simply not going to happen, at least not while anyone old enough to read this piece is still alive.

Surrey and Vancouver come first, so the North Shore can just suck it up.

Yet we want our politicians to do something, so it makes sense for Jonathan to make a federal case out of it.

Of course, it’s not really his jurisdiction. The municipalities build the local roads; the province builds the highway.

Ottawa does come bearing infrastructure dollars, so the federal government has some leverage, beyond moral suasion.

So here’s the thing: Jonathan Wilkinson is one of the North Shore’s best politicians, but is it fair for him to raise expectations about easing congestion on the Cut? Can anything short of the Apocalypse ease congestion on the Cut? The problem almost defies belief, never mind resolution.

I frequently drive by it going the other way, and quite often, the jam starts at the foot of the Second Narrows, then extends to the Cap Road exit; although most of the time, it starts at Westview. Movement is painfully slow. Add rain and a fender bender and you might as well catch a nap while you’re waiting for the car in front of you to move.

It’s unacceptable, maddening, dangerous, and pollutes

Maybe I should be encouraging him rather than casting shade. Maybe I’m wrong and the efforts of a single individual with a vision and a will can indeed ease congestion on the Cut. Maybe I should dare to hope.

Remember “Hope is a town in Arkansas”? Or the Canadian version: the last stop before the mountains heading east.

It’s hardly a word to use in the same sentence as a politician, except when the sentence is: “I hope he gets arrested.”

But OK, I’m all in. When Jonathan Wilkinson says “working to address North Vancouver’s transportation needs will remain a high priority for me in the coming year,” I’ll take him at his word. As the year rolls (or lurches, stop and go) along, I’ll expect more “solid progress.” Either that, or I’ll get fooled … again. p.sullivan@breakthroughpr.com

INQUIRINGREPORTER Are you following the royal visit?

Prince William, Duchess Kate and their kids have created quite the royal frenzy in B.C. this week. Throngs of people lined up early Sunday to get a glimpse of the royal couple in Vancouver. Even some members of our local rescue community got to rub shoulders with royalty. So, what is our fascination with Britain’s monarchy? Yes, we are a Commonwealth country, but do we still care to have the queen on our currency and continue that relationship with the monarchy? We asked: Are you following the royal visit?

In the current singlemember plurality system (first past the post) that we use to elect our federal MPs, millions of votes are wasted – the votes do not count towards getting anyone elected. In constituencies where one party dominates, there is little or no reason to vote for any other party, leading to voter apathy, and low voter turnout.

Prime Minister Trudeau promised that the 2015 election would be the last under the first-past-the-post system.

It’s depressing to read a letter about electoral reform that contains so much misinformation. To cast all proportional systems as “list” systems with little local connection is really unhelpful, and no mention was made of the current extensive review that the federal government has put in place.

I am counting on my MP Jonathan Wilkinson (Liberal), and the Parliamentary Committee on Electoral Reform, the Minister of Democratic Institutions Maryam Monsef and the Prime Minister to ensure that Canada approves and implements a new electoral system so that our democratic institutions more accurately reflect the views of Canadians when they cast their ballots.

Former ski club coach gets jail in child-porn case JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

A man who used to work as a children’s ski club coach and run bike camps for kids in North Vancouver has been sent to jail for four months after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography.

Provincial judge Bryce Dyer handed the prison sentence to Marlowe Ryan Daniel Northcott, 32, in North Vancouver provincial court Monday after Northcott admitted to downloading 99 photos

and 19 videos containing child pornography from a peerto-peer file-sharing network between May and July 2015.

The images and videos showed sexual acts between children, and between children and adults. Most of the children depicted were pre-pubescent boys, Crown counsel Grace Oh told the judge. Some of the children appeared to be between four and 10 years old. The mandatory minimum sentence for possession of child pornography is 90 days in jail.

Dyer rejected a request

Northcott’s North Vancouver home, seizing his computer.

He was arrested the same day.

Information online described Northcott’s involvement in running bike camps for children and his coaching of kids aged six to 12 for the Mount Seymour Ski Club.

In court, Northcott’s defence lawyer asked for leniency, saying his client has no criminal record, is remorseful and has sought counselling to understand his actions.

Northcott was himself sexually abused as a child and may have been trying to

from defence lawyer Joel Whysall to allow Northcott to serve the jail sentence on weekends, saying that would “send a wrong message to the public.”

“It is not a victimless crime,” said the judge, adding people who view such images feed “the worldwide market for child pornography.”

Northcott was flagged when his computer’s IP address came to the attention of the RCMP’s child exploitation unit during an online investigation. Police later executed a search warrant at

OFFER ENDS OCTOBER 10th!

“normalize” his own experiences in viewing the images, he suggested.

Psychological reports concluded Northcott is not a pedophile and is a “relative low risk” to reoffend. Whysall said going to jail for a period of months would be a “traumatic experience” for Northcott.

But the judge agreed with Oh that a sentence longer than the minimum was needed to “make it abundantly clear to the public that offences involving child pornography are very serious.”

After he is released from

jail, Northcott will serve 18 months’ probation with conditions not to possess pornography, not to use an electronic device to access the Internet except for work, to provide his Internet Service Provider account to the probation office and consent to the RCMP examining his Internet search history. Northcott is also banned from working or volunteering with children, and attending parks and recreation centres where children are likely to be, except with an adult who has been advised of his conviction.

No evidence of keyless entry device Naloxone kits at health centres From page 4

who’s suspected of having an overdose, it’s a great thing. It’s a public service.”

That news comes amid continuing concern about overdose deaths linked to fentanyl across the province.

According to recent statistics released by the province, 488 people died of drug overdoses in B.C. between January and the end of August of this year.

A total of 15 people died of drug overdoses in the Coast Garibaldi health region, which includes the North Shore, during that same time period.

That’s an increase of 50 per cent over the same time last year, according to the province. As of the end of July, nine of those deaths had been confirmed as being linked to fentanyl, according to the B.C. Coroners Service.

Provincially, 60 per cent of all overdose deaths in 2016 have been linked to fentanyl. In almost all cases, fentanyl was detected along with other drugs, including cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin, according to the coroner.

“That’s been the concern from the beginning,” said Dr. Mark Lysyshyn, medical health officer for the North Shore. People who are dying of fentanyl are “not trying to take fentanyl,” he said, and most of them don’t know it’s in the drugs they are taking.

“Almost all the heroin on the street is fentanyl. It’s not heroin.”

It’s also possible some drugs are being cross-contaminated in drug labs, he said.

Despite those concerns,

1lb.

Lysyshyn said the North Shore continues to have a low number of drug overdose deaths – averaging less than 10 per year, in North and West Vancouver combined.

Increasing access to naloxone has been one of the major strategies to combat potentially fatal overdoses, said Lysyshyn.

Naloxone works by plugging into the same brain receptors as opiates, blocking their effects, which can include slowed – and even stopped – breathing. Naloxone is injected into the muscle of a patient’s arm or leg. It has no effect on someone who hasn’t taken opiates, and is considered safe.

Staff in Lions Gate Hospital’s emergency department are now offering patients who are admitted with overdoses take-home naloxone kits, along with instructions for patient and family.

Naloxone kits are also available in North Vancouver at the Health Connection Clinic on 15th Street East and Central Community Health Centre on West Esplanade.

The North Shore Emergency Lookout Society in North Vancouver has had naloxone kits for more than a year and has offered training for staff and clients on its use, said Ken Falconer, community co-ordinator for the North Shore shelter.

Police in North and West Vancouver are also expected to carry naloxone kits – but their kits are primary intended to protect officers in the event of accidental exposure to fentanyl. Lysyshyn said the risk of that would be very low.

continue to remain high,” he said, but added reported cases aren’t coming in in record numbers. Most of the thefts are “crimes of opportunity” said De Jong – involving valuables that are left inside vehicles and vehicles that are left unlocked.

Some North Vancouver residents, however, are questioning whether there’s a more sinister explanation – including the possibility of a device that allows thieves entry into locked vehicles.

Chris Hough, who lives

on Croft Road in Lynn Valley, started wondering after his Ford pickup truck was recently broken into twice. The first time someone stole about $500 worth of belongings, including sunglasses and an iPod, he said. He wasn’t sure if the truck had been locked. But the second time, “I know I locked it for sure,” he said.

The same thing happened to his wife’s Mustang, parked in the carport under their house. “I had parked it the night before,” he said. “I made sure the car was locked. It was unlocked in the morning.”

Other neighbours told him

their vehicles, including a variety of makes and models, had also been broken into and “all of the neighbours claimed their cars were locked,” he said.

Hough said he researched the issue on the Internet and came up with the possibility that some thieves may be equipped with devices that can hack into keyless car entry systems.

De Jong said crime analysts believe such devices do exist, but added local police have never come across one.

Sgt. Brent Haines of the RCMP’s provincial auto crime team had a similar reaction.

“There’s all these theories out there about these magical devices,” he said. “I’m convinced the technology is out there. But I haven’t seen any proof.”

What he has observed, said Haines, is thieves willing to check 50 car doors to find one that is open.

Hough said he now makes sure he doesn’t leave anything in his truck and has taken to leaving the outside lights on.

Those are moves local police agree with.

For the most part, said Haines, “It’s a crime of opportunity for these guys.”

ERINMCPHEE emcphee@nsnews.com

Persian flamenco singer Farnaz Ohadi’s debut album was a lifetime in the making.

The release, entitled Bird Dance, traces the musician’s journey starting with her early life in Iran, where she was born and raised, experiences after moving to Canada as a teenager, and finally, as an adult, finding her voice. Both lyrically, as well as musically, the album reflects her diverse experiences and musical interests, bringing together two genres that have long spoken to her and

now, through her creative approach in her music, can finally speak to others.

Growing up, music was an important part of the 42-year-old Vancouver resident’s life.

She started studying piano at age five and, “The older I got, the more it became my salvation. All the angst and anxieties of teenagehood, it was just fantastic to have the piano. When things were really hard outside, I would just come home and play,” says Ohadi, the founder of the Mashregh Ensemble, an ongoing collaborative project merging flamenco music with the lyrics of Persian poetry and storytelling.

Moving to Toronto, Ont., at age 17, and then Vancouver in 1996, Ohadi maintained her interest in music, and has continued to study a variety of genres and work with countless talented artists over the years, ranging from further piano study to operatic voice

training, and exposure to traditional Persian instrumentation and folk singing.

Flamenco entered her life in 1998, seeing her first begin to study dancing in 1998 and then singing in 2005. After a few years of performing regularly in that genre, in 2012 Ohadi felt compelled to do something different, to push herself forward artistically. “I was thinking that I either had to go to Spain to really pursue this and really be immersed in the culture or try to do something different. I arrived at the idea that I’m not from Spain, I don’t live there. I’m not Spanish and I don’t live in Iran anymore either – it is my culture but it’s not really my home anymore. So what if I did something that neither the Spaniards can do and neither the Iranians can do and me as a Canadian can do and that is because I’ve been immersed

Tegan and Sara make the personal political

Quin sisters use success to address LGBT issues

! Tegan and Sara perform at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre on Oct. 5 at 7pm. Tickets from $36 at Ticketmaster.ca.

ALEX HUDSON Contributing writer

Publicly, Tegan and Sara present a unified front.

The Calgary-bred Quin sisters are identical twins who share songwriting duties, are known for their hilarious on-stage banter, and jointly campaign for LGBT equality.

In their personal lives, however, things have not always been so smooth. The two have warred behind the scenes, and when Sara relocated to Montreal in 2003, it was partly because she wanted to move away from her sister and establish her own identity.

“It was my attempt, in a way, to preserve the band,” Sara remembers, speaking on the line from Saskatoon. “It wasn’t necessarily a breakup in the true sense of the word, because we obviously continued to be both sisters and bandmates, but it did feel like a sort of forced exile or an estrangement — just in order to get myself feeling like I had my own life. I desperately wanted autonomy.”

Not only did the Quins clash personally, they also

Tegan and Sara perform at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre on Wednesday, Oct. 5 at 7 p.m. The twin sisters released their latest album, Love You to Death, in June on Warner Music. PHOTO SUPPLIED PAMELA LITTKY struggled to find musical common ground. “A lot of times I was like, ‘Wow, it feels like she (Tegan) is in a different band than the band I’m in,’” Sara admits. This lack of unity didn’t seem to hurt the duo’s artistry, as their blend of emotive folk and hookfilled indie rock earned them a fervent following, critical praise, and a major-label deal with Warner Bros. Records.

Now, the twins have found a shared musical direction. On 2013’s

Heartthrob, the siblings set aside their guitars in favour of synthesizers, and their electro-pop reinvention catapulted them to new levels of commercial success.

“I think right now there’s definitely something a little bit more unified,” Sara says of the recent sonic style. “We have an aesthetic and we have a sound, and our different songwriting approaches and lyrical approaches fit better.” They even live in the same city these days, as both

shipyard social

have homes in Vancouver.

On Love You to Death, released this past June, Tegan and Sara have once again ventured into the slick, glossy realm of radio-friendly synth-pop. Like Heartthrob, the LP was helmed by blockbuster producer Greg Kurstin (Adele, Sia, Beck), and it teems with sparkling synths, pulsing drum machines and giant-sized choruses.

The album’s widescreen soundscapes are given an

intimate, human touch by the deeply personal lyrics.

On “White Knuckles” and “100x,” Sara addresses her past tensions with her sister; the latter number resembles a lovesick breakup ballad, its uncharacteristically spare piano arrangement providing the backdrop for the confession, “I swear I tried to leave you / At least a hundred times a day.”

Sara explains, “The songs are about us, but they’re really about me figuring out

who I was and that breaking off period where I needed to go and do my own thing for a while.”

Elsewhere on the album, the twins overtly explore queer themes. Lead single “Boyfriend” tells of a love triangle and explores sexual identity with lines like, “You call me up like you would your best friend / You turn me on like you would your boyfriend / But I don’t want to be your secret anymore.”

On the standout new wave anthem “BWU,” Sara rejects traditional ideas of matrimony and sings, “We don’t need a white wedding / All the girls I loved before / Told me they’d signed up for more.”

The latter song was inspired by Sara’s experiences with her longterm partner. “I’m in a relationship with someone who I’ve been with for six years,” she notes. “Gay or straight, people start saying, ‘So when are you getting married?

When are you having kids?

When is the next step?’ And I’m like, ‘F@?! off. We’re doing just fine. We have cats, we own a house — what else do you want from us? Get off our backs.’”

By openly acknowledging their sexuality in lyrical form, Tegan and Sara are attempting to shine a light on the LGBT issues they care about so deeply. The commercial success they’ve enjoyed in recent years means that the 36-year-olds have a prominent platform from which to share their

RiverBlue tracks ecological cost of fashion Documentary puts denim industry under a microscope

! RiverBlue, world premiere at the Vancouver International Film Festival, Directors David McIlvride and Roger Williams, SFU Woodwards, Goldcorp Centre for the Arts, Saturday, Oct. 1, 6:30 p.m. For more information visit viff.org.

JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

Near the end of the 19th century, Levi Strauss ran an advertisement of a mustachioed, cigar smoking man wearing jeans that could be had in either grey or in blue.

More than 125 years later, the fashion predilection of punks, hippies, cowboys, and Neil Diamond is one of the most popular, mass-produced pieces of clothing on the planet.

But it’s come with a cost.

The new documentary RiverBlue shows us the tailings of the fashion industry, and in particular, blue jeans.

We see a river topped with a black viscous skin that looks like Saran Wrap made of bitumen. We see a body of water that changes colour according to what colour dye is being used upstream. And we hear an environmental scientist accuse clothing companies of committing “hydro-cide.”

“I really wanted to do a documentary where we could show problems and solutions, and … show there is a way to change, if we want to change,” explains North Vancouver’s Roger Williams, the movie’s producer and co/director.

Despite not having the

RiverBlue, a new documentary from co-directors David Mcilvride and Roger Williams, gets its world premiere tomorrow night at SFU Woodward’s as part of this year’s Vancouver International Film Festival. PHOTO SUPPLIED notoriety of the mining or oil industries, fashion – taken as a whole – is a tremendous polluter. In their 2012 list of the world’s most toxic industries, both tanneries and the dye industry cracked the Top 10, according to international not-for-profit environmental watchdog the Blacksmith Institute.

By focusing on India, China and Bangladesh, RiverBlue runs the risk of being one of those documentaries that only makes a North American audience feel bad for people “over there.” However, the film largely sidesteps that pitfall by underlining pollution as a global issue.

The movie opens with an image of the Earth and a reminder of the relative scarcity of freshwater. Due to that scarcity, we’re told, the wars of the future will be waged over water.

It’s a timely message as

scientists have used NASA’s satellites in recent years to detect the loss of enormous stores of freshwater along the Tigris and Euphrates River as well as in Colorado.

RiverBlue also benefits from having the courage to address not only the fashion industry’s suppliers, but also its demanders.

In general, the fashion industry doesn’t want its consumers to know: “anything that’s really going on because they don’t want to stop the money,” Williams explains.

Part of the movie’s aim is to give the consumer the information to make up their own mind, Williams says.

Not wanting to make what he considered a “doom and gloom” documentary, Williams spends the last portion of the movie focusing on environmentally-sound alternatives, which are more affordable than you might

expect.

In Milan, Italy, president and CEO of Italdenim, Luigi Caccia, takes the filmmakers inside his factory to demonstrate how he dyes jeans using a compound derived from leftover shellfish. The drop in carbon dioxide emissions from his factory is

staggering. Caccia’s candour about his own motivation is also quite refreshing.

“You save nature,” he says, before quickly adding, “but first you save money.”

With the cash he’s saved, Caccia can sell Italdenim jeans for roughly the same price as the pants coming out

of environmentally dubious factories elsewhere, according to Williams.

The film took three years to make, which was time they could spare given the reluctance of the textile industry to make wholesale changes.

We had, “time on our side,” Williams acknowledges.

The shoot was frequently held up by protracted negotiations to get into factories and sometimes to get into countries, according to Williams, who says he made 18 trips to the Indian consulate.

“It was not an easy project to put together,” he says.

“Nobody wants to see their country shown in a bad light.”

But speaking to the North Shore News just a few days before the film’s international premiere, Williams is confident the movie will help change the industry. Levi’s has committed to making 80 per cent of its clothes using water saving technology in the coming years. Brands like Patagonia and Tortoise Jeans also offer alternatives for environmentally-conscious consumers.

“The consumer really has a lot of power,” he says. “The dial’s already changing.”

If the movie’s successful, the dial will start changing at the speed of fashion.

OFF THE CUFF VANCOUVER INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL THROUGH OCT. 14

The 35th annual Vancouver International Film Festival returns this week with a cinematic feast for the senses.

Over 300 films from around the world will be screening at various venues through Oct. 14. This year VIFF has organized the festival into eight specific film streams replacing the multi-category sections of past years. The designated streams – Panorama, Ignite, True North, Impact, Next, Gateway, M/A/D and Alt – will be integrated into year-round programming at Vancity Theatre.

Below are some of the must-see films at this year’s VIFF: MOONLIGHT (USA 2016) Huge buzz at TIFF for Barry Jenkins’ Florida-set coming-of-age take on what it means to be a black man in America today.

MANCHESTER BY THE SEA (USA 2015) Casey Affleck and Michelle Williams star in Kenneth Lonergan’s calamitous family epic set on Massachusetts’ North Shore.

TONI ERDMANN (GERMANY 2016) Director Maren Ade’s comic masterpiece competed for the Palme d’Or at Cannes this year. Chosen Best Film at Brussels 16.

THE ORNITHOLOGIST (PORTUGAL 2016) Like a Portuguese Pasolini, João Pedro Rodrigues fills his work with religious iconography and a Rabelaisian world view.

PATERSON (USA 2016)/GIMME DANGER (USA 2016) Two new films from Jim Jarmusch. Paterson is a comic masterwork while Gimme Danger takes a long hard look at the music of Iggy Pop and The Stooges.

BANG! THE BERT BERNS STORY (USA 2016) The untold story of rock/R&B legend Bert Berns is worth telling.

DON’T BLINK: ROBERT FRANK (USA/CANADA 2015) Beat Generation icon Robert Frank is the subject of Laura Israel’s documentary. Intimate and candid look at a life in art.

HARRY BENSON: SHOOT FIRST (USA 2015) Profile of Scottish news photographer Harry Benson.

FRANTZ (FRANCE/GERMANY 2016) François Ozon provides a Proustian period piece.

PERSONAL SHOPPER (FRANCE 2016) Kristen Stewart again works with director Olivier Assayas (Clouds of Sils Maria). This time as a fashion designer in a Hitchcockian horror story set in Paris.

Seven lucky styles that hit fashion jackpot Kiss and Makeup stylist suggests essentials for everyday wear MARIA SPITALE-LEISK mspitale-leisk@nsnews.com

Seven is North Vancouver fashionista Samantha Dempster’s lucky number for hitting the style jackpot.

She swears that seven versatile wardrobe essentials can take anyone from the school run, to brunch to the boardroom, to date night and anywhere in between.

Because who has time to go home and change, especially with all that North Shore traffic these days?

Dempster, a certified image consultant and style blogger, gave a Seven Pieces Seven Ways styling seminar at Kiss and Makeup in Ambleside Thursday night.

She starts with a basic fashion foundation: a pair of denim, “to cover the bases as far as the bottoms are concerned.” A classic white button-down sweater is another solid staple piece that’s highly versatile.

The easiest way to change the look is through accessorizing, says Dempster, by simply swapping out your bag or changing your shoes to elevate the look from day to night.

Look for clothing material that can be dressed up or down, some kind of cotton mix that has a bit of silk in it, to give it a dressier esthetic,

Kiss and Makeup owner Heather Huntingford (right) in her new West Vancouver shop with stylist Samantha Dempster, who hosted a Seven Pieces Seven Ways fashion seminar this week. PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH suggests Dempster. She discovered a gorgeous, soft long-sleeve “glorified T-shirt” with chiffon under lace at Kiss and Makeup. This piece can be easily paired with a pencil skirt during the day or tucked into jeans at night, she says.

Being comfortable in your clothes and keeping warm in the cooler weather

doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style. Kiss and Makeup owner Heather Huntingford says she loves this time of the year because “it’s sweater weather” and she’s looking to get cosy.

Huntingford hopes attendees of the seminar will come away with practical style pointers.

“People are busy, our

clients are moms, everyone is on the go these days so you want (fashion) you don’t want to think too hard about but you want to feel good,” she says.

Kiss and Makeup is celebrating two months in their new location at 1545 Marine Dr. Huntingford says they are happy to be back in West Vancouver. Kiss and

Makeup’s original flagship was at Park Royal Village.

The new store is twice the size of their old Lonsdale location and the biggest space they have had so far.

The first 1,000 square feet is cosmetics, while the back 1,000 square feet is dedicated to fashion.

“It really bright and open,” says Huntingford of

the store’s esthetic.

Huntingford is happy Kiss and Makeup now has the space to carry their in-house brand of mineral makeup, Sip Beauty. The pressed mineral powders and natural lip glosses are made from quality ingredients, explains Huntingford.

“We’re trying to go for affordable luxury,” she says.

“I go on board to make sure the tanker conforms with international safety guidelines.”

– Captain Robert Scott, Loading Master, Kinder Morgan Canada

Tankers calling at Trans Mountain’s loading dock must comply with internationally accepted oil-handling safety protocols and best practices. If the expansion is approved, enhanced measures will make sure that risks to our waterways from Trans Mountain tanker traffic will remain extremely low. We have been committed to safety for over 60 years – and we intend to keep it that way.

•

Tankers calling at Westridge Marine Terminal are held to strict, internationally accepted construction and operating standards.

•

All vessels must go through rigid pre-screening and physical inspection.

•

Only double hulled tankers are allowed.

•

Two expert local pilots are on board loaded tankers to Victoria. In future, pilots will disembark at Race Rocks, extending the piloted distance.

•

An expanded tug escort regime will cover the entire tanker route – from Burnaby past the North Shore, through the Strait of Georgia and the Juan de Fuca Strait.

•

Transport Canada’s certified marine-based spill response organization, Western Canada Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC), is on call 24/7.

•

More than $150 million will be invested in WCMRC to create new response bases, fund new equipment and employ 100 new people. This will double the spill response capabilities and cut mandated response times in half.

•

To support the ‘polluter pay principle’ enshrined in Canada’s spill response regime, there is a $1.4 billion industry fund available for response cost and compensation in the unlikely event of a marine spill.

Pop music provides means to discuss issues publicly a radio-ready pop song still carries a powerful positive message, and Sara is more than happy to use her music as a jumping-off point for her political cause.

“It can seem like a small thing — like, ‘Oh, it’s just a pop song, and you’ve kind of skewed the gender in it,’” she reflects. “For me, it’s just an opportunity to talk about these things publicly.”

Bumbershoot fest was an absolute blast

Seattle arts extravaganza perfect way to end summer ALAYNA GIBBS Contributing writer

Providing an excellent last-of-summer getaway over Labour Day weekend, Seattle hosted Bumbershoot 2016, the city’s annual three-day cultural festival.

Held on the grounds of Seattle Center, Bumbershoot has presented a grand combination of arts since 1971, including music, film, theatre, comedy, artworks, poster art, animation and dance.

For a student such as myself, visiting the festival was the perfect last summer hurrah before the start of my final year at Handsworth secondary.

Fortunately there were no rainy showers on the Saturday and Sunday when I attended. Bumbershoot satirizes Seattle’s well-known dreary weather by naming the festival after a synonym for the umbrella, and decorating the paved main walkway with brightly coloured

Bumbershoot takes place annually over the Labour Day weekend at Seattle Center. umbrellas hanging in patterns between the trees.

Beyond the umbrella décor also dominated the impressive International Fountain carved out in the

middle of the grounds, where massive inflated letters spelled out “Bumbershoot” while the iconic Space Needle soared over all. Throughout the breath-taking scene were

dotted small kiosks, vending everything from henna tattoos to African art to Bumbershoot’s famous strawberry shortcake.

PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING A redevelopment is being proposed for 1401 – 1479 Hunter Street and 481 – 497 Mountain Highway to construct two residential towers, townhouses, and a Community Centre.

You are invited to a meeting to discuss the project.

Date: Thursday October 6th, 2016 Time: 6pm – 8pm Location: 485 Mountain Highway, North Vancouver The applicant proposes to rezone the site from Light Industrial (I3) and Comprehensive Development Zone 11 (CD11) to a new Comprehensive Development Zone to accommodate the new proposal. The proposal includes a 27 storey residential tower and a 16 storey residential tower connected by a podium consisting of 12, 2-storey townhomes. The residential component of the project is made up of 328 units. The proposal also includes the development of a 3-level Community Centre (approx. 26,950 square feet) at the corner of Mountain Highway and Hunter Street. The Community Centre will consist of a full size gymnasium, a child care centre, and multipurpose meeting rooms. A total of approximately 450 parking stalls are proposed; of which approximately 39 stalls are dedicated for Community Centre Use. Sidewalks and road improvements are proposed on Hunter Street and Mountain Highway to enhance the pedestrian environment and vehicle circulation.

performances at the festival was Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. Macklemore, who is quite the extrovert, interacted very personally with the crowd, using charming

anecdotes of growing up in Seattle, and impactful messages concerning the equality of others and political matters.

Burgers from the revered local Dick’s restaurant chain were thrown into the audience, all in all creating one of the most entertaining shows, through music, dance, and stories. Macklemore’s hard work put into rehearsal and passion for his music career was quite evident throughout the performance.

Porter Robinson, a headlining DJ, gave an entirely different experience, with fun, bass-heavy electronic music. Behind him towered a massive screen, showing anime-style videos to go along with the music, as well as arena lasers and indoor fireworks. Robinson’s devotion to the craft was clear, as he danced along with the massive crowd.

Not all the music played at Bumbershoot was youthoriented. There was a laser spectacle dedicated to The Beatles music, as well as a performance by ‘80s sensation Billy Idol who, “despite his age,” commanded the stage and fashioned quite a show, with wild dance moves

which, from beginning to end, tells aspects of her life story, serves as an album of empowerment for women.

“It traces the outlines, the experiences I’ve had as a woman growing up in Iran as a female, not being able to sing as a soloist,” she says. While things are changing, “At the time that I was growing up it was not in my farthest dreams that I could actually be a singer of any kind.”

The first song on the album, its title track, “talks about the idea of a bird that’s caught in a cage and sings anyway because that’s the nature of the bird,” she says.

Subsequent songs trace the trajectory of her movement from Iran to Canada, issues and anxieties about immigration, settling into Canada and finding her place thanks to her art, and looks at her life right now. Having found her voice, she calls on others to join her in her joy.

“I’ve been given this wonderful opportunity to do something like this and now I have responsibilities to make sure that I still look back and acknowledge where I’ve come from and the journey that I’ve taken,” she says.

Shakespeare troupe were outstanding

and the help of his guitarist playing very complicated riffs.

As for acting and comedy, the Improvised Shakespeare Company was outstanding – five guys ad libbing and

inventing with the help of the audience, while speaking completely in Shakespeare’s Elizabethan English, and playing with rhyme, song, and dance.

Overall, Bumbershoot proved to be a hit because of its talented and eclectic

musical guests, hilarious comics, and beautiful artwork and ambience. It’s worth the trip across the border.

in flamenco and Persian culture for so long? What if I tried to combine the two?”

In some ways the idea seemed very natural and in others crazy, she says. It seemed natural because there are many similarities between flamenco and Persian music, for example, some flamenco “palos,” or forms, have the same complicated rhythms and nuances as those in Persian music.

“Rhythmically they’re not that different. Accents are placed in different places, but ideas that are expressed musically in Persian music and flamenco are very similar, and approaches to singing,” she says.

What seemed crazy was the challenge of fitting the Persian language into flamenco music, all the while staying true to both genres. Ohadi called upon the talents of local Persian classical music vocalist Tahere Falahati for advice, and later flamenco guitarist Liron Man, who she went on to form a longstanding musical partnership with.

“It was the beginning of this marriage working. (Man) was very intrigued and we started working together and he added

his own touches to the music,” she says.

Ohadi and Man played their first concert in 2014. “That was the first time that officially I felt like this was really worthy of capturing and recording and it took us another two years to really, really hone it down and work on the mixes and work on the language,” she says.

Man served as musical director and composer on Bird Dance, which features some original songs by the duo, and melodies based on traditional flamenco rhythms, as well as draws from instrumentation from both the flamenco and Persian traditions. The record’s Farsi lyrics are sourced from a range of well-known Persian poets.

“The highest compliment for me is when I hear someone say, ‘It sounds like it’s in Spanish,’ or ‘It sounds like you’re singing Farsi, but you’re just singing this other melody that I have no idea what you’re playing,’ because they don’t know flamenco. Everybody’s able to hear what they need to hear in it, which to me is a really high compliment, thinking that it’s a natural fit,” she says.

Ohadi hopes Bird Dance,

Dodge thinks big with Durango Behind The Wheel David Chao While not the largest vehicle on the market, the 2016 Dodge Durango offers big SUV capability.

Even though the market is trending towards smaller, more fuel efficient vehicles, full-size SUVs are still quite popular for their passenger and cargo space capacity – as well as for towing capability.

The Dodge Durango checks all those boxes with a smaller package than some other rivals.

If you need an SUV with seating for seven, and the ability to haul and tow, the Dodge Durango is worth a look.

There are other alternatives, such as the Honda Pilot and Ford Explorer.

For 2016, the Durango’s V-6 gets start-stop technology to help improve fuel economy.

Also, the Uconnect infotainment system has enhanced functionality, and there is some new optional equipment.

DESIGN Dodge’s design team wanted to convey a muscular look and feel while showing a unique personality.

In that effort, the Durango makes good use of LED accent lights and flowing design.

Below the projector-beam headlights are sophisticated

The Dodge Durango is worth a look if you need an SUV to get your family out to the cabin with a bunch of gear. It’s got seating for seven, can haul and tow, and boasts truck-like toughness. Fuel efficiency has been improved, although it still lags behind some of its competitors in that regard. PHOTO SUPPLIED LED daytime running lights. At the back, an LED array creates Dodge’s signature “racetrack” tail light display.

The 2016 Dodge Durango is available in four unique versions. On SXT and Limited models, the grille has a simple chrome finish, however, it is still bold and draws attention.

The top-of-the-line Citadel model gets additional chrome mesh. This treatment defines this Durango as the luxury leader.

The sporty R/T model is the most visually different of the bunch. The grille is body colour over black mesh. Also,

it gets more body-coloured trim across its body and a lower ride height.

Of note: if you want the look of the R/T but still keep the base engine, the Rallye Appearance package is available. It adds 20-inch polished aluminium wheels, black-bezel headlights and body-colour grille, moldings and rear fascia.

PERFORMANCE Between the four Durango trim levels, there are a number of engine choices.

Base Durango SXT models come with a 3.6-litre V-6. This

respected engine now saves fuel at stoplights thanks to new start-stop technology, and with 295 horsepower and 260 foot-pounds of torque it has no trouble accelerating fast off the line.

If you need more power, the 5.7-litre Hemi V-8 is available on Limited and Citadel models, and is standard on the R/T. Horsepower jumps to 360 and torque to 390 foot-pounds, which also bumps towing capacity to 7,400 pounds.

The big Hemi is also relatively fuel-efficient when in fuel-saver mode. This seamlessly deactivates four of

the eight cylinders when full power is not required.

Regardless of the engine under the hood, the Durango is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Also, in Canada all Durango models come standard with an allwheel drive system.

On the road, the Durango’s size and weight are apparent. But - through careful suspension tuning - it feels surprisingly sporty, and interior noise level is low, making it suitably comfortable.

For the most sporting potential, go for the Durango R/T. With a lowered

suspension and 20-inch wheels and wide tires, it is one of the most agile SUVs at its price point.

ENVIRONMENT Despite a reasonably competitive price, the 2016 Durango’s interior feels very upscale.

The Durango is available in two different family-friendly layouts: second-row bench seat or dual captain’s chairs.

Behind the third row, cargo space is average. However, both the second and third

Why aren’t ambulances cool anymore?

With demolition planned for the old North Vancouver General Hospital, members of the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation gathered together last Sunday to pay tribute to the old building.

There was a barbecue, games for the kids, and because there was a car show, there was also a me.

Seventy-five cars were lined up along 13th Street, which was closed to traffic.

You could walk along the rows of ascending model years and see the evolution of the automobile from plucky little crate to a scorchingly fast modern Corvette.

Neat! I’ll have one of each.

Among the more interesting machines on display were a couple of old ambulances.

These look nothing like the current cubes-with-sirens used by the British Columbia Ambulance Service these days, being instead car-like in layout. They mostly resembled high-roofed station wagons.

The history of the ambulance in B.C. is rather interesting. The very first ones used were of course horse-drawn, ferrying patients to hospital when they’d contracted some

Ambulance fans not thrilled with Ghostbusters bump From page 51

On its very first outing, a parade, it ran somebody over. The injured bystander was rushed to the hospital in the new ambulance/cruiser, but they died anyway. Have to say, not a great start there guys.

Later, private ambulance services began popping up all over. One of the earliest I can find mention of is Exclusive Ambulance, which was founded in 1927. The name “exclusive” means that they only transported live people, not dead bodies. Cue the classic Monty Python scene: “I’m not dead yet!”

A little digging turned up a picture of the Exclusive Ambulance HQ, which was located in a decommissioned fire hall, with their fleet of vehicles all lined up out front.

It looks like something out of the Ghostbusters franchise: there’s a 1940 Buick, a 1927 Studebaker, a 1936 Oldsmobile, and a pair of 1930s Chryslers. The cars are all converted to carry stretchers, and outfitted with lights, but all are a different from each other. The Studebaker doesn’t even have a siren.

In these wild privateer days of the ambulance, many cars were built by coachbuilders who customized the cars to fit. Manufacturers like GM would provide the chassis and front clips to the coachbuilder, who would then build the rest of the car.

hacked together into tribute cars, rather than being preserved in their period correct state.

When the 1970s rolled around, the United States passed a law requiring standardization of ambulances, and the pool of converted cars dried up. From then on ambulances were mostly built on van and truck chassis, and when the provincial government founded the B.C. Ambulance Service in 1974, we started down the path to the cube vans we have today.

Which is, to my mind, a bit of a shame, really.

Wouldn’t life be a little more fun if our emergency services vehicles weren’t all the same?

I mean, I know waiting for an ambulance to show up isn’t the ideal time to think about entertainment, but what you were about to be whisked away in a Mercedes-Benz E63 wagon? What if your paramedic showed up in a Honda literbike with a sidecar attached to it?

As you sit there in the street, nursing your dropsy and waiting for the paramedics to arrive, wouldn’t it be fun to wonder what was going to show up?

bit. Like Exclusive’s 1927 Studebaker, the Cadillac that served as Ecto-1 was built by a company called Superior, in Ohio. The Ecto was actually a Duplex, which meant it could be turned into a hearse, if the ambulance company was less fussy about transporting dead people.

If you needed to call an ambulance anywhere up until the mid-1970s, it was a little like calling a taxi – you never knew what was going to show up to take you away. Maybe it might be a fresh new Cadillac, maybe it might be a rattly and ill-used Studebaker, or maybe it might be a converted work van with no windows in the back. You might even be better off walking.

Exclusive’s converted fire station caught fire in 1956, because apparently irony is a running theme here, and the company subsequently merged with two other ambulance services to become the Metropolitan Ambulance service, which remained the largest ambulance provider west of Toronto until the 1970s.

Despite being working cars, a small percentage of these ambulances still exist.

Because they’re mostly hand-built, restoring them can be an enormous pain, but the mechanicals are mostly shared with normal cars.

As a side note, many classic ambulance enthusiasts really dislike the notoriety of the Ghostbusters Superior because so many of the surviving ambulances have been

Standard equipment includes cloth seats, power windows and locks, five-inch touchscreen, hands-free communication, Bluetooth, streaming audio, USB port, SD card slot, auxiliary input jack, auto-dimming rearview mirror, heated exterior mirrors, auto headlights, and keyless entry with push-button start.
