Property taxes goingup 3% inDNVBRENT [email protected]
District of North Vancouver property tax rates aregoing up three per cent this year.
District council passed its 2016-2020 financial plan, includingits operating and capital budgets Monday night.
For a typical homeowner who saw their $1-million homeassessed the average 15.7 per cent higher in 2015, that shouldamount to a $60 increase in their municipal taxes. The cost will
be disproportionately higher for homeowners whose propertyassessments grew beyond the average.
Residential property owners will be expected to pay $2.11for every $1,000 in assessed value on their homes (althoughthat does not include utilities or taxes going to Metro
Vancouver, TransLink or the North Vancouver school district).The district is anticipating water, sewer, recycling and garbagepickup to cost $1,541 for single-family homeowners.
By comparison, the District of West Vancouver’s tax ratewent up by 6.87 per cent and the City of North Vancouver’swent up 3.9 per cent.
Of the three-per-cent increase, two per cent will go toinflationary costs in the district’s operating budget, largely due

A Burnaby man whopassed himself off as acertified general accoun-tant then used his positionof trust to defraud a NorthVancouver business outof almost $400,000 shouldgo to jail for between twoand three years, a Crownprosecutor has argued.
Arthur Tat-YueWong, 52,drove around in a Porsche,went on vacations to DisneyWorld and Las Vegas, andmanaged to get a mortgageapproved on a home inBurnaby worth more than$775,000 – all while using thecompany he worked for as hispersonal piggy bank, pros-ecutor Ian Hay told a judgeTuesday.

When you hear a company operated successfully inBritish Columbia for 61 years, you know it must
be doing something right.
And independently owned and operated since 1955doing something right is exactly what 27 IGA storeshave been working at in British Columbia since 1955.
This year, Jim and Geri Pattenden and theirknowledgeable team at North Vancouver’s 12-year oldIGA at 130-150 West Esplanade are celebrating theircomplete redesign and expansion of their fresh-fooddepartments.
“Geri and I understand ourcustomers are looking for high-quality, fresh local products andwant to make shopping with us aninviting, friendly experience,”Jim says.
“I get a kick out of negotiating hot deals withour vendors and passing those savings on to ourcustomers,” he said.
Before customers shop, they often visit the store’s bistrofor just-brewed IGA coffee and a menu of freshly-prepared snacks, soup and sandwiches. After that pick-me-up, it’s on to all the departments for the items onyour must-have list.
ProduceIn a world that’s increasingly aware of the need forwholesome nutrition, the availability of quality produceis crucial. Which is why IGA selects local produce fromB.C. growers who can get their products to market atthe peak of freshness. Growers are also reviewed toensure they use ecology-friendly practices with minimalor zero artificial pest controls.
In-season items like peppers, asparagus, strawberries,blueberries and other fruits and vegetables come fromfarms in Richmond and the Fraser Valley.
In cooperation with B.C. Tree Fruits Ltd., peaches,pears, apples, grapes and other fruits are sourced fromthroughout the Okanagan.
For products that cannot be grown in B.C., the IGAteam has chosen growers in southern Washington,California, Mexico and Chile who can get their productto the B.C. market in fresh condition.
Fish, Meat, Dairy and Organic ProductsTo ensure sustainability of wild fisheries, IGA haspartnered with the Ocean Wise (www.oceanwise.ca/)program of the Vancouver Aquarium and its networkof market suppliers and food-service businesses.
“We sell wild B.C. salmon and butchers will cut meatsto your specifications,” Jim explained.
Full service deli, meat and dairy selections and largevariety of cheeses are available, along with preparedsalads, sandwiches and party platters. There are 1,200different organic brands available throughout IGAstores.
In-store bakeryAgain with a focus on freshness, the in-store bakeryprovides a daily range of breads, buns, sweet goods,special occasion cakes and desserts, and wheat - andgluten-free products.
Healthy LivingFor anyone anxious to keep or get their diets andnutrition on track, one of the most important servicesat IGA Esplanade can be found in the Healthy Livingsection of the IGA website. Questions can be put to thestore’s registered dietitian. Answered free-of-charge, theinformation provided online might cost anywhere from$60 to $150/hour in a private consultation.

District of NorthVancouver council is tak-ing a farm-fresh look at itsbylaw that bans backyardchickens.
The request cameMondaynight from the CanadianLiberated Urban ChickenKlub, or CLUCK, a group advo-cating for backyard hens.
More than a source offresh, organic eggs, the chick-ens provide natural fertilizerand aeration for gardens andthe coops give residents atangible connection to agricul-ture and a learning experiencefor the neighbourhoods thatwelcome them, the groupargued.
“My mom says that foodis expensive and we could eattheir eggs. Eggs are a goodsource of protein and will helpme to grow,” said nine-year-old Ben Dyment, a CLUCKmember who wants to be afarmer when he grows up.
Council was last asked toconsider backyard chickensa half-dozen years ago butthose plans were scrambledin a split vote. At issue forcouncil at the time were con-cerns the coops would act asunwanted wildlife attractantsand the chickens would endup poached by predators likecougars, bears and coyotes.
But, opposition to back-yard chickens may no longer
be so hard boiled. In 2012,CLUCK successfully lobbiedCity of North Vancouvercouncil to amend its bylawsto allow up to eight back-yard hens and earlier thisyear, chicken activists cameout sunny side up in WestVancouver.
District council members
were warm to the suggestionMonday night, although get-ting the animal control bylawchanged is something thatmay not go over easy, as manyof the same concerns linger.
Public health and safetywouldn’t need to be compro-mised, the CLUCKmembersargued, as long as owners
are responsible.“The chicken coop will be
safe from other wild animalslike raccoons. I researchedpredators of chickens andbears were not even on theTop 10 list. Why does WestVancouver get chickens andwe don’t? Squamish has alot of bears and they allow
backyard chickens, so please,please, please can we beallowed chickens?” Dymentasked.
District staff are expectedto research the bylaws inplace for other communitiesthat allow backyard chickensand report back at a latermeeting.

Wong did well throughthe two and a half years hedefrauded his employer,a North Vancouver-basedproperty rental company,Unique Accommodations, saidHay, while his employers hadto close one of their offices,lay off staff and struggle tosurvive.
After he was caught, Wongshowed a lack of insight intohis actions and lack of empa-thy for his victims, Hay added.“He felt self-entitled to otherpeople’s money.”
Wong appeared at asentencing hearing in NorthVancouver provincial court
this week after pleading guiltyto fraud over $5,000 and com-mitting false pretenses.
Hay told the judgeWong was hired by UniqueAccommodations by businessowners Mark Teasdale andNina Ferentinos in May 2007.The company was expand-ing in the lead-up to the 2010Winter Olympics and theowners felt they needed some-one with a strong financialbackground to keep tabs onthe business.
Wong falsified his resumeand credentials. After winningthe owners’ trust, Wong setabout overpaying himself andhis wife, who worked as a part-time assistant in the office.
He also wrote 75 cheques tohimself, supposedly to cover“expenses” – which he wasnever entitled to. He alsowrote cheques directly fromhis employers’ account tocover his personal credit cardpayments – which he used tocharge everything from grocer-ies to gasoline and clothing.
Wong also got the companyto sponsor a lease for thePorsche, saying he’d deductthe monthly payments of morethan $1,000 from his pay-cheque – which he never did.
He also wrote cheques ofmore than $14,000 for “pettycash” and rented a storagelocker under a companyaccount for more than
$6,000 to store his personalpossessions.
Wong also used hisposition to falsify letters ofemployment and T4s for him-self and his wife, inflating theirsalaries in order to qualifyfor a mortgage on a Burnabyhome and to get a line ofcredit worth almost $200,000just days after he was fired,said Hay.
“He drove a Porsche,travelled, he invested and hesaved,” said Hay.
“Mr. Wong was thriving.”Meanwhile, his employers’
business was driven to thebrink of ruin.
In a victim impact state-ment read out to the court,
Ferentinos said she and herhusband are small businessowners who worked hard tobuild their company. Theirmisplaced trust inWongallowed him to defraud them“from almost the moment hewalked in the door,” she said.
As a result of the fraud,the company had to close itsSquamish office and lay offfive staff.
The fraud and its financialfallout had a huge emotionalimpact on her family, saidFerentinos. “He violated ourtrust. For us it was all we hadworked for.”
Wong’s lawyer urged thejudge to consider a conditionalsentence to be served in the
community, sayingWong doesnot have a criminal record andhad complied with terms ofhis bail for the past two and ahalf years.
Teasdale and Ferentinosalso suedWong in civil courtfor the money he took fromthem.Wong ended up payingthe couple approximately$210,000 of the $365,000 he’salleged to have taken in an out-of-court settlement, accordingto related court documents.
The province also wentafter theWongs’ Burnabyhome as a proceed of crimeunder B.C.’s civil forfeiture law.
The judge has reservedhis decision on sentence untilnext month.

Dumpster of ‘usable stuff’a nasty EarthWeek findBRENT [email protected]
One charity’s trashcould be another man’streasure.
AWest Vancouver manis hoping to see the Districtof West Vancouver be a littlebit more prudent with whatit does with unwanted goodsafter finding a dumpster full ofitems left over from the WestVancouver Seniors’ ActivityCentre Flea Market.
Dave Way attended themarket, which ran at theWest Vancouver Ice Rink twoweekends ago, but when hepassed by the next week, hewas put off by the amount ofstuff being thrown away.
“I saw people with sledgehammers smashing a desk orchest of drawers or some-thing into bits,” he said.
Way spoke with theorganizers, who told himthey were trying to place asmuch of the unsold goods as
possible with other charitiesbut, he said, there were stillmany good finds bound forthe dump.
“They told me only totallyunsellable junk was going intothe dumpster but I had a peekon the Wednesday becauseit was filled right to the brimand there was what lookedlike five-year-old hockeyskates… and flippers – lotsof usable stuff,” he said. “Weended up taking an ice creammaker away that was thrownaway and worth $90, com-pletely functional.”
It was particularly irritat-ing that it happened duringEarth Week, Way added.
“It just seems to me thatone would reflect on all thatsolid waste and find anotherhome for the stuff,” he said.
But organizers estimate 75per cent of the items at theflea market were sold, and themajority of the rest was eitherdonated or recycled.
Only a small amount is
tossed out, according to JeffMcDonald, spokesman for theDistrict of West Vancouver.
“Having said that, thereare items that cannot be soldthat require disposal – thoseare plastics that can’t berecycled because they’recracked or broken… brokenpicture frames, broken orcracked chairs. Helmets arenot accepted by charities. Carseats, strollers, high chairsand cribs are not accepted byany charities – and Christmasdecorations that are in poorcondition.”
Among the charitiesthat get first crack at theleftovers are DevelopmentalDisabilities Association,Covenant House, WestVancouver Adult Day Centre,a women’s shelter, Shelterto Home, the Lions GateHospital thrift store, the RedCross and the Salvation Army,which took 11 loads.
McDonald said the eventraised about $75,000.

GREEN COFFEE BEAN
Chances are you haveheard about it!
FOR WEIGHT LOSS!
Now the big question thateveryone is asking — does thatstuff work?
Well I’m happy to report theclinical studies indicate thatGreen Coffee Bean extract canpromote weight loss. But it isimportant to know that thesestudies have been done onSvetol®, a very form ofthe Green Coffee Bean extract.Svetol® is the form of GreenCoffee Bean extract NaturalFactors uses in their product.So when you try Green CoffeeBean make sure you use theone that is clinically proven.
How does it work? Itsweight reducing abilityhas been attributed to acompound called chlorogenicacid. Evidence shows thatchlorogenic acid has apositive effect on our glucosemetabolism. Impaired glucose
metabolism can put us atrisk for high blood sugarlevels, obesity, diabetes, andcardiovascular disease.Chlorogenic acid inhibits theaccumulation of fat, reducespost-meal blood sugar levels,and decreases the absorptionof glucose in the smallintestine. It accomplishes thisby preventing an enzyme,hepaticglucose-6-phosphatase, fromforming glucose in the liver.Scientists suggest that theglycemic effects of chlorogenicacid play an important role infacilitating weight loss.
Prevent some of that weightgain by coming into theVitamin House in Dandaraveand try some Natural FactorsGreen Coffee Bean made withclinical strength Svetol®.

Council passed the budgetand tax increase with littledebate at the council table,save for a few comments onthe district’s prudence insetting aside extra money fordepreciating capital assets.
“I’d just like to commentthat North Vancouver districtreally leads the provincewhen it comes to work doneto document fully the condi-tion of its assets to prepare.We are leaders in this andwe’re well ahead of the pack,”said Mayor Richard Walton.“We should be in good shapefor the future going forward,certainly better than

RETIREMENT MARATHON TRAINING PLAN
Most importantly, celebrate your successes!
Planning for your retirement has a lot in common with preparing for a marathon.So why not prepare for your retirement the same way you prepare for along-distance race? Consider these steps:
✔ Plan and invest for the long term to preserve and build your wealth. Being fitand ready for a marathon does not happen overnight and not without carefulplanning.
✔ Choose a reputable adviser (coach) – someone you trust and feel comfortablewith. Training with an experienced coach is far safer and easier than doing italone.
✔ And remember, don’t abandon the plan when things get tough in theshort-term. Staying the course pays off. As athletes say “Pain is temporary,pride is forever!”

Debt and taxes
Taxes are up in all three NorthShore municipalities this year.West Vancouver is leading theway at 6.89 per cent, thanksin large part to some hefty
maintenance bills that council had beenputting off for years.
The City and District of NorthVancouver are slightly more modestat 3.9 and three per cent respectively,accounting for inflation and some moneyfor the capital kitty.
No surprise, negotiated wageincreases with unionized staffers are asignificant part of why costs go up yearafter year. Municipal workers’ wages andbenefits are red meat for groups like theFraser Institute, Canadian TaxpayersFederation and the Canadian Federationof Independent Business who excoriatecouncils letting costs and taxes outpacewhat people in the private sector
can earn.But those penny-pinching watchdogs
don’t have the burden of providing ser-vices to a demanding public. Councilsclearly find it easier to go back to thetaxpayers’ well than to endure a publicsector strike. People may grumble abouttaxes but when the garbage starts pilingup, or the sewers get clogged, there’shell to pay.
It’s not so easy to defend the balloon-ing salaries enjoyed by our municipalmanagers, who it seems are the onlypeople whose take-home pay has keptup with the cost of housing.
And when it comes to deciding whatprograms and projects could be can-celled to save a few bucks at budgettime, there is no groundswell of publicopinion advising council what to cut andwhat to save. If you’ve got some sugges-tions, they’re all ears.

When I’m notenthralling youevery secondFriday in the
North Shore News, I have apublic relations business,specializing in things likecrisis communications.
There were times overthe last month when I feltcompelled to mount a kindof North Shore PR rescue toextract Park Royal’s big footout of its big mouth and getit to leave the indigenouschess players of the mallfood court alone.
I can only conclude thatPark Royal managementcollectively lost its mindon or about March 22 whenit sent a letter to the folkswho had been peacefullyplaying chess in the mallfor 50 years, ordering themto stop taking up valuablefood court space or theywill have to “reach out tothe West Vancouver PoliceDepartment.”
Of course the story wentnational, as Park Royalearned the distinctionof committing the worstPR blunder since CP Rail
decided to make a point andstart bulldozing communitygardens along the Arbutusrail corridor, leading to vividfootage of decimated gar-dens and sobbing childrenon the six o’clock news.
Both disasters arecharacterized by the sheerbone-headed image-blindbrutality and insensitivity ofthe perps.
There was no need toresort to the PR equivalentof tear gas and truncheons– both situations were even-tually resolved reasonablyas anyone with an ounce ofpatience or foresight knew
they would be, so taking agrievous, if not fatal, hit tothe brand could have beenavoided.
In Park Royal’s case,it kept going from badto worse. Bad when theWest Van cops reasonablyresponded that it was nota police matter, turning itback on Park Royal to doits own dirty work. Worsewhen West VancouverPresbyterian Churchannounced it was planninga sit-in at Park Royal in soli-darity with the players.
When God abandons youthen actively turns againstyou, it’s time to concede.
And that’s what ParkRoyal did this week byagreeing to move the playersto a spot 100-150 paces away
from where they were doingall that damage. Some arecalling it a draw; clearly it’scheckmate by the players.
But first Park Royal hadto add insult to injury byoffering the group $500 togo away, as if that wouldappease either the playersor the universally appalledpeanut gallery, who took tobad-mouthing Park Royal onFacebook, Twitter, the Sun,the Globe, and above all, theNorth Shore News. In short,everywhere. For nearly amonth.
If we try to look at it fromPark Royal’s point of view,the constant irritating pres-ence of a bunch of rumpledchess nerds, increasinglyout of place at a fancyfashion mall (as Park Royal
now likes to see itself), musthave seemed like a situa-tion that needed solving.They were the antithesis offast food … lingering tea orsomething.
No matter that theyrepresented a colourfulWest Van tradition, a liv-ing remnant of a simpler,slower time. Stable, serene,civilized. Represented bythe staunch senior citizenGeorge Ingham, who’s beenplaying chess at the mall forhalf a century. Who is alsoimmensely quotable, with atwinkle in his eye that trans-lates well onto the page.
It’s like something out ofDickens: Mr. Mall Scrooge,meet Mr. Chess Fezziwig. Weall know what happens next.The bad guy gets hauntedinto submission.
It was so unnecessary.Another more enlightenedjurisdiction might have seena PR opportunity: a way tooffset crass retail consid-erations with the softermessages of community,harmony and charity – thereal kind, not the $500 buzz-off model. Another more
enlightened jurisdictionmight even commission abronze statue of two chessplayers in eternal contem-plation of the next move.
Oddly, Park Royal is capa-ble of enlightened thinking:witness the Village, whichhas become a destinationfor families. On a warm day,it doesn’t take long beforeall the kids are wading inthe ornamental fountain.Charming, sun-dappled, non-retail behaviour.
I hope the Mr. Scrooge(or Mr. Hyde, if you like)side of the mall doesn’tfeel compelled to call theWest Van police to clearthe fountain of potentialcustomers or the children ofcustomers.
A plea: if you’re itching torestore order on the plaza,call me first.
I’ll tell you what not to dofor free.

Density brings housing optionsDear Editor:
Having just read the let-ter (April 20 Mailbox) fromBob Rasmus, a former localbuilder who I do know, I feltcompelled to respond.
Firstly, there is no mora-torium (on development) inthe Seymour area, there isa scarcity of viable buildingland, but this council hasbeen looking for potentialdevelopable land in Seymour(including district owned)for ground-oriented familyhousing, seniors housing andeven some forms of afford-able homes. In addition, theTsleil-Waututh Nation areactively developing (land forhousing) in partnership withthe Aquilini Group.
Secondly, we have threemarried councillors (for the
District of North Vancouver),including myself, who live inLynn Valley. Our wives, whilstmaybe getting frustratedwith traffic backups – andsometimes their husbands– certainly appreciate andsupport this council’s direc-tion guided by the OCP insupporting developmentnear transit hubs. We have achoice in either allowing thiscommunity to remain as avery high-priced, exclusiveresidential area affordableonly to the very wealthy orbuilding smaller and denserforms of housing, in specificareas as outlined in the OCP,to allow younger people andfamilies to locate here.
The first alternative isfrightening – declining growthin families and children,
potentially school popula-tions decreasing (schoolclosures), an even greateraverage age and less vitality.Business land will grow moreunaffordable, more retail andservice sector employees willadd to traffic volumes as theywill be forced to commute.
I myself believe this coun-cil is working for our childrenand their children and a sus-tainable future in this district.
The next election is inNovember 2018, but myenergy now is focused onthe benefits for families andchildren growing up here, andwhat happens in November2018 is entirely irrelevant tomy philosophy.Robin HicksDistrict of NorthVancouver councillor

SOCIALMEDIANSN STORY:Pay Parking Debated for Busiest Parks (April 22)
Andrew Chobaniuk:
As long as district residents are exempt I’mOKwith this, I’d also goes as far as extendingan olive branch toWest Vancouver and the City to include them in exchange for similarconsiderations if they choose to charge for parking at parks. Over the past few yearsQuarry Rock has explodedwith new hikers eager to take their selfies on the rocks aboveDeep Cove. That’s probably whymore andmore people have been doing it; the socialmedia era hasmade people from all over aware of a trail only locals used to know about.

Former business dean to leadCapilanoUniversity this fallBRENT [email protected]
Capilano University hasnamed a former dean ofits faculty of business andprofessional studies as itsnew president.
J. Paul Dangerfield willbe taking the top job this fallafter current president KrisBulcroft retires in July.
Dangerfield said heis looking forward to thehomecoming.
“Of course, I have a directconnection in that I startedmy academic career atCapilano. They gave me mystart in teaching,” he said.“It’s a wonderful universitywith great faculty. I found thestudents, when I was there,tremendous. I still am in
touch with them many yearslater.”
The university formeda search committee in2015 and managed to wooDangerfield from his cur-rent position as executivedirector and campus deanof the New York Instituteof Technology’s Vancouvercampus. Previously, hewas the vice-president ofeducation, research and inter-national with B.C. Instituteof Technology from 2009 to2014.
The committee selectedDangerfield, in part, becauseof his reputation as a teambuilder, problem solver anddeveloper of leadership,something Dangerfield saidhe looks forward to doing atCap.
“(It’s) being able to pro-vide leadership when there’sa lot of noise going on, whenthere’s a lot of chaos. Theworld that we work in is verycomplex,” he said. “What I’vedone over a number of yearsis help provide some clarityto those complex situationsand help teams solve theproblems to be able to dealwith those complexities.”
Dangerfield will be takingthe reins after a few rockyyears at Cap, which sawa series of budget short-falls, course cancellations,student protests, a lawsuitfrom the faculty, teacher andstaff strikes, and a harshruling from the CanadianAssociation of University
Teachers chastising Cap forviolating academic freedom.
While he’s mindful ofthe “pitfalls of the past,”Dangerfield said he comesinto the position with an eyeto the future.
“My focus will be on mov-ing forward. I think there’sbeen a lot of lessons learnedbut there are a lot of otherlessons to be learned outthere from other universitiesand colleges who are pushingthe envelope in academicexcellence and educationaltechnology and new ways ofdelivering programs and newways of supporting students,”he said.
Many of Cap’s challengeswill still exist when he takesthe job, especially with itremaining one of the low-est funded post-secondaryschools in the province. But,Dangerfield said, there isroom to build on the school’sstrengths.
“I think what we all realizeis we can’t keep doing thingsthe same way and hope toget different or more positiveresults when you’re dealingwith resource constraints,”he said. “I think we need tobe able to be able to buildthat capacity to identifyfuture trends in educationand industry, business,the arts and develop morerelevant programs for thefuture.”
And, Dangerfield said any

Cap U appointsnext chancellornew directions the schoolmoves in will be done withstakeholders, on and off cam-pus, helping chart the course.
“I would never arrive ata university or any organiza-tion saying ‘Here’s our visionfor the future.’ A vision isalways a shared activitythat you work on with thecommunity,” he said. “As ageneral approach, somethingI think we’d all agree on towork towards over the nextfive years is that Capilano isa university recognized wellbeyond the North Shore forits excellence in teaching,very relevant programmingand also its support for thecommunity.”
Capilano FacultyAssociation president BrentCalvert said the union’smembers are excited to haveDangerfield in the position.
“Paul brings past expe-rience with Cap … so heunderstands the existingculture here. Since he’s leftCapilano he’s had tremen-dous leadership-buildingexperiences and during thesearch process, we werereally impressed with his abil-ity and interest in capacitybuilding.”
New leadership shouldbe able to help “reinvigoratethe Capilano brand,” Calvertadded.
While the school has itsnew president lined up, it hasalso named a new ceremonialleader.
David T. Fung, interna-tional entrepreneur andNorth Shore resident, will bethe school’s new chancellorin time to preside over the2016 convocations.
As a member of bothCapilano University’s boardof governors and the senate,the chancellor serves as anambassador for the univer-sity and confers degrees tograduates.
“Serving in the role ofchancellor is a great honour,and as a North Shore resi-dent, I’m especially pleasedto have this opportunityto engage with the localcommunity,” says Fung. “Ilook forward to serving asan ambassador for CapilanoUniversity, helping to encour-age students to becomeleaders in a rapidly changingworld.”
Fung was awarded an hon-orary Doctor of Laws degreefrom Capilano Universityin 2014. Today, he is thechairman and CEO of ACDEGGroup of Companies, a globaltech firm.
The board of governorsappoints the chancellor onthe recommendation of theCapilano University AlumniAssociation for a three-yearterm.

Karen Barre was never officially diagnosed with post-partum depression, but looking back on the dark timeafter she gave birth to her second child, just 21 monthsafter welcoming her firstborn into the world, there’s nodenying how scared and alone she felt.
Three years later, when the Lynn Valley mom was preg-nant with her third child, she was terrified she’d once againfall into the same depression, so she made an appointmentwith a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist advised her to carve outtwo hours for herself each week and dedicate that time to
doing something she loved.“I couldn’t think of one thing that I loved to do. Even if I could
get a babysitter or I could find the time, I didn’t even knowwhat Iwould do,” Barre recalls. “That’s so sad.”
A friend, amused by Barre’s funny Facebook posts aboutmotherhood, suggested she write a blog. So she decided to giveit a go, spent some free time at the library with her laptop, andlaunched Spill it Mom (spillitmom.com) in the spring of 2015. Theblog offers a bluntly honest and humorous take on life with threeyoung children, who are now seven, five and one.
In addition to carving out writing time, Barre also joined aNorth Shoremothers group and quickly learned that she wasn’tthe only one who felt exhausted and overwhelmed.
“They totally supportedme and they were honest withmeabout how they suck at mothering and how they fail,” she sayswith a laugh.
Through her blog, Barre hopes to create a similar community
online for newmomswhomay not have the same social supportnetwork. The positive feedback she receives from readers whoappreciate her candour and can relate to her daily ups and downskeeps hermotivated to continue writing.
“I didn’t experience any depression with the third (child),”Barre says. “I don’t knowwhy – there’s probably lots of reasons– but I know for sure that some of it is to dowith the communityof women that I had through that mom group, and also doingsomething formyself that I loved andwriting.”
Many of her blog entries feature light-hearted parenting con-fessions: the time she bribed her daughter with unhealthy snackstomake her watchmore TV; the time her resourceful baby foundan empty beer bottle in the recycling bin and turned it into a newtoy; or the time her kids were fighting over stale crackers that hadfallen between the couch cushions and then they cried when their

Bookstores nurture a lifetime of reading! CanadianAuthors forIndies Day, Saturday,April 30, at 32 Books, 3185Edgemont Blvd., NorthVancouver, featuringauthors KerryKarram,Cathie Borrie, David J.Smith andMarkWinston.Formore information visitauthorsforindies.com.
JEREMY [email protected]
The Great Pyramid of Giza,your uncle’s career advice,and apiaries have onecommon characteristic: thepower to slow down time.
For author MarkWinston,the clock’s relentless marchfalters to a meander themoment he’s surrounded byhives. The buzz of a bee beforeflight, the tangy scent of honeyand the site of legions of work-ers seen through the tint ofsmoke create a sense of awefor the scientist.
“Underlying all the physicalsensations are collaborationand order, communication andcommon purpose,” he writesin his 2014 nonfiction bookBee Time.
Winston is hoping toachieve a similar sense ofcommunication and common
purpose Saturdaywhen hespends the day at 32 Booksand Gallery in Edgemont.
When he hit the road topromote Bee Time, Winstonsays hewas fearful he’d find “adesert of bookstores that hadbeen swamped by the e-booksand the big box stores.”
Like weeds blossomingbetween concrete blocks,many independent bookstoreshave found a way to survive,Winston notes.
“The ones that have madeit through the last decade orso have pretty strong busi-ness models.”
He saw an example of thebookstore’s enduring powerwhen 200 readers packed 32Books for Winston’s Bee Timereading.
“I’m extraordinarily gratefulto the independent bookstores,well, just for existing,” he says.“A lot of the success the book
has had has been because oftheir support.”
While hemay get into aconversation or two about thevalue of bees Saturday ($217billion according to a 2008study based on the amount ofcrops that benefit or dependon bee pollination)Winstonsays he’ll spend his shift as abookseller steering customersto some of his favourite works.
Unsurprisingly for a writerwho has studied insects inKansas, French Guiana andNew Zealand,Winston ispartial to stories about thenatural world. Bill McKibbenand Elizabeth Kolbert providesome of the best-written,most important books in thatarena, according toWinston.Kolbert’s The Sixth Extinction:An Unnatural History examinesmass animal and plant loss. BillMcKibben’smost recent offer-ing,Oil and Honey, offers a newperspective on climate change.
However, lest it seem thatWinston is going to spendhis day in front of one shelf,he’s also an admirer of AnnPatchett’s terrorist standoffnovel Bel Canto, andmay evenbe able to recall the plots ofsome of the Hardy Boys storieshe devoured in his youth.
Growing up in a suburb
on the outskirts of Cleveland,Ohio,Winston avoided thecentre of the city dubbed TheMistake on the Lake.
“Nobodywent into down-town, it just wasn’t done.”
But when the burgeoningscientist hit 12, the lure of a“beautiful, dusty, old, two-storey used book store,” wastoomuch to resist.
“We’d go into the base-ment and just find all kinds oftreasures,” he says.
He found J.R.R. Tolkien’sfantasy novels as well asThe Rise and Fall of the ThirdReich by William L. Shirer.
“I think it’s the same thingas Lord of the Rings,” he saysof Shirer’s book. “It was goodversus evil.”
It was a lifetime of read-ing that allowed Winston todistill the evolution of bees– it’s been 125 billion yearssince nectar-gathering insectsevolved from predator wasps– into a single readable novel.
“I love data. I’m very mucha nerd that way but I don’tdiscount the power of emo-tion and the power of story,”he says. “Science done well istelling a story.”
Both stories and scienceare set to be discussed April30 at 32 Books.

“You start with words ina book,” says communitytheatre veteranMikeJarvis, reflecting on theincredible creative journeya production takes.
Once a play is decided on,cast and crew are assembled, arehearsal schedule is set, linesarememorized, sets, lightingand sound are added, costum-ing andmarketing is completedand then finally it’s openingnight. The countless hourslogged by dedicated volunteersand passionate players paysoff and the talents of thoseinvolved take centre stage,showcased for all to see.
Themagic of communitytheatre and its ability to bringpeople together has longcaptivated Jarvis. “You seeyoungsters coming in andvying, you see people whoalwayswanted to be in theatreand they trymaybewhenthey’ve retired frombusi-ness and now they say, ‘I’vealwayswanted to do that.’ Ofcourse there is no age barrierbecause it covers life. The playmay cover a retired couple, itmay be young people gettingmarried but then they’ve got
fathers andmothers. It’s some-thing everybody can join into,”says the Deep Cove resident.
Thatmagic is set to becelebrated in spades nextweek as Jarvis is among themembers of the local theatrecommunity coming togetherfor the annual Theatre B.C.North Shore Zone Festivalof Plays, runningMonday,May 2 through Saturday,May 7 at North Vancouver’sPresentation House Theatre.Tuesday through Fridaywillsee a different play performedbymember clubs of the zone(one of 10 in the provinceand includes groups fromDeep Cove to Pemberton).Productions will compete for
a number of awards, rangingfrombest director to bestactor, and the best overallproductionwill move on tothe annual provincial theatrefestival, Mainstage 2016, beingheld at the Chilliwack CulturalCentre, July 2-9.
“You’re always going therewith the hope that you’regoing to dowell,” says Jarvis,who has been part of theTheatre B.C. North Shore ZoneFestival of Plays for the last twodecades.
That said, participation ismore about the joy of beinginvolved.
“If youwin it’s like value-added. It’s a bonus,” he says.
“The beauty is whenwe get
together andmeet and com-pete as such.We compete buteach one is individually doingtheir own show each night andthat’s the joy of going and see-ing what other groups from theNorth Shore (are doing).
“A lot of people, we all knoweach other fromover the yearsand it’s the one time of the yearwhenwe do get together. And,youmeet newpeoplewho areinto theatre. It’s great comingtogether and it’s fun to do,” headds.
This year’s festival is beingadjudicated by AnthonyIngram. The adjudicationprocess offers a tremendouslearning opportunity forall involved, both through
receiving feedback on theirownworks, as well as throughlistening to the critiques of oth-ers, offering general tips theycan takewith themmovingforward.
Last year Jarvis served asfestival chairman, though thisyear he’s serving as amemberof the festival committee asRelatively Speaking, a produc-tion he directed for Deep CoveStage Society (of which he isalso president), is among the2016 festival contenders.
Relatively Speaking, a com-edy by Alan Ayckbourn, will beperformed Tuesday, May 3.
“It’s a fun job,” says Jarvis.Wednesday,May 4, will see
North Vancouver Community

Their entry,RabbitHole, also faredwell at theMainstage festival, winning BestProduction and awards for BestDirector (Peter Zednik), BestActress (Tamara Prescott andMersihaMusovic) andBest SetDesign (Peter Zednick).

Saturday, May 7will seethe festival awards given outas well as entertainment byWest Vancouver secondarystudents.
“We try to encourage thatbecause that’s the future,” saysJarvis, of the festival’s interestin cultivating and supportinglocal youths’ passion for themedium. The students areplanning to perform a produc-tion entitled Crushed.
Jarvis encourages com-munitymembers to take in thefestival performances, offeringtop-notch productions withtheatre groups putting theirbest foot forward.
“Everybodywants to do thebest they possibly can. Reallythe audiences that come aregoing to get the full advantageof that. You’re going to seethese people at their best,” hesays.

JULIECRAWFORDContributing writer
With his filmMother’sDay, ensemble-castimpresario Garry Marshallhas created the perfectMother’s Day gift: a movienight out with mom that’sall about her (no over-priced bouquet needed).
Jennifer Aniston stars as asinglemom looking for a newstart; Kate Hudson is a womanlooking to strengthen the rela-tionshipwith her ownmother;and Julia Roberts is a TV pre-senter focusing on her career.Co-starring Jason Sudeikisand TimothyOlyphant, it’sthe story of four families whocome together and fall apartin theweek leading up toMother’s Day.
Andwhile you’re in themommymood, here are someother films to dig out that cel-ebrate and vilify themothers inyour life:
Edward ScissorhandsWhen she discovers a
pale-facedmonster (JohnnyDepp) with gardening shears
for hands living alone on thefringes of her neighbourhood,Avon lady Peg (DianneWiest)goes into full ‘50s sitcom-mommode, bringing him home tolive with her family –muchto the initial chagrin of rebeldaughterWinona Ryder – andsetting him upwith some greatAvon products. Amother’slove is amonster’s salvation inthis TimBurton fairy tale, evenwhen a judgmental societythreatens to slash it all topieces.
The Kids Are AlrightJulianneMoore and Annette
Bening star as a couple whosekids (MiaWasikowska and JoshHutcherson) go on a quest tofind their biological father inthis Best Picture contender.Dad (Mark Ruffalo) proves tobemore than the family hadbargained for. An uplifting fam-ily comedy-drama.
Sophie’s ChoiceA young Holocaust
survivor’s story unravels inflashbacks during the courseof the film, culminating in thefamous, horrific choice that
nomother wishes tomake.Upon boarding the trains forconcentration camps, a Nazicommander propositionsSophie (Meryl Streep) and tellsher shemay keep either heryoung son or young daughter,not both. Sophie breathes butis barely alive, tormented by amother’s worst nightmare.
Terms of EndearmentShirleyMaclaine and
DebraWinger aremother anddaughter who frequently clash,especially after amarriage thatmomdisapproves of. AsmomAurora navigates her own newrelationshipwith a neighbour(Jack Nicholson), daughterEmma gets sick, and apologiesand deathbed amends need tobemade in theweepiestmovieending ever.
Mommie DearestCome on, it had to be
mentioned! Nothing will makeyou feel better about your rela-tionshipwith your ownmotherthanwatching Faye Dunawaygo gaga over wire hangers inthis 1981 biopic about JoanCrawford.

momate them all (What? She was starving).“I just think that humour is a way to reach
people that’s really non-threatening and canbreak downwalls really fast,” Barre says. “Ifyou’re laughing about your day or the hardthings that happened, it melts people’s defen-siveness and it’s a way to connect with people.”
Between the humorous blog posts, Barrealso shares her experience with the darkerside of parenting. This Saturday, she’ll reada very personal piece she wrote about post-partum depression at Listen to Your Mother,a one-day live staged event that gives localwriters the opportunity to share their stories ofmotherhood.
Hosted by children’s entertainers (andmoms) Robyn Hardy and Lorraine Pond of Bobs& LoLo, the event is being produced locally bythe GoodMother Project, in partnership withthe Listen to Your Mother national organization,andwill feature readings from 13writers andbloggers (hailing from the North Shore are Barreand North Vancouver screenwriter PamelaJones).
Since its inception, Listen to Your Mother hasspread to 41 cities across North America, eachhosting similar events on or aroundMother’sDay. Partial proceeds from this inauguralCanadian production will go toward the PacificPost Partum Support Society.
Barre has only just grown comfortable withputting her writing online for all to see, so thethought of reading such a deeply personal storyin front of a live audience is admittedly nerve-racking. But her goal in presenting at Listen toYour Mother is much the same as her goal inwriting a parenting blog.
“I hope there’s amother or two in the audi-ence who needs to hear that she’s not the onlyone that is struggling or that’s having a hardtime and that she’ll get through it, and her kidswill be OK, and she will be OK,” Barre says.
Though post-partum depression issomething she would wish on no one, it’s anexperience that she believes has helped herbuild a better self.
“I feel like going through that mademe astronger person, and so I just want to offerencouragement tomomswho feel like they’renot doing great.”

When: March 18 to July 31, 2016Time: 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
As important as they are, trees and other plants can cause significant power
interruptions. Contact between trees and power lines can be very dangerous,
which is why over the next few months, we’ll be pruning and removing trees
and other plants in North Vancouver.

Frankenstrap leather goods built to lastIan Chung is bringing hiscreations to the Pipe ShopCHRISTINE [email protected]
North Vancouver’s IanChung was seven yearsold when he discoveredthe durable and versatilenature of leather.
His uncle had a tackshop in the Cariboo regionof B.C. and while he wasbusy working on saddlesand harnesses, Chung wouldexperiment with the toolsand scraps lying around.He’d punch his initials intosmall bits of leather and hisuncle even helped him makea few simple items, like anarchery quiver.
Chung’s fascination withleather work grew fromthere. When he was older,he made guitar straps forhimself and his bandmatesand he soon branched outand started making wristcuffs and belts. In 2010,Frankenstrap leather goodswas born.
“I slowly ballooned fromthere, just expanded what Idid,” he says.
His sister, Adea Chung,the designer behind BillyWould handmade woodenjewelry, was a frequent craftfair vendor and pushed himto participate in one. So hedid. His next event is GotCraft? which takes placeMay 7 and 8 at the Pipe Shopin North Vancouver andfeatures more than 70 mak-ers and indie craft designersshowcasing bath and bodyproducts, accessories, homedecor items, toys, greetingcards, and more.
In the Frankenstrapstudio behind Capilano Mall,Chung creates a wide rangeof leather goods: wallets,belts, cuffs, tote bags andcoin pouches – even elabo-rate suits of armour.
“There’s an underlyingfascination with what I cando with it. Especially withthe armour and stuff likethat,” Chung says of hiscreative medium. Not tomention the esthetic beautyof a completed leatherproject.
“Definitely the processis fun too, but I really likelooking at it when it’s alldone and all the edges arefinished.”
Chung drafts his ownpatterns and handpicks hishides from both local suppli-ers and U.S. companies.
“I personally like somemarks and scars on thehide,” he explains. “I try tofind the nicest and the mostunique colours.”
He then cuts, dyes andsews everything to hisdesired specifications.
Chung ventured into bodyarmour a few years ago aftermeeting someone involvedwith the Society for CreativeAnachronism who organizeshistorical re-enactmentcombat events in the LowerMainland. He says his Romansuits are engineered muchas they would have beenin ancient times, with a fewmodifications for practicalpurposes.
“It’s all hardened fairlyIan Chung of Frankenstrap leather apparel works in his North Vancouver studio (above). Chung is among the 70 vendors whowill be selling their goods at the Got Craft? market May 7 and 8 at the Pipe Shop in North Vancouver. PHOTOSMIKE WAKEFIELDSee Got page 25

made kidney belts and knife sheaths for fansof ancient combat, and he recently finisheda commission for a shoulder sling that holds15 harmonicas.
At Got Craft? he’ll have a sampling of allhis work on display. “Usually I bring a varietyof everything and I usually have one of mysuits of armour set up in the back just so itsees the light of day,” he says.
Looking back on the last six years, Chung
is pleased at how Frankenstrap has grown.“I started off with one belt design – I
didn’t even have wallets – one guitar strap,and a couple different types of cuffs in twocolours,” he says. “It’s a hobby, I love doingit, and I want to continue doing it for a longtime.”

Body-on-frame SUVs are adying breed, but there are stilla few that compete with theToyota 4Runner: the NissanXterra, Jeep Wrangler, and themuch more expensive LandRover LR2.
Even though I’ve driven
just about every car and trucksold in North America, I wasimpressed enough with theever-strong 4Runner that Irecently purchased a brandnew 2016 4Runner Limited. Ifa picky automotive journal-ist like myself selects thisvehicle, you know it has tobe pretty good. One of thebig factors for my decisionis that the 4Runner keeps an
amazing level of resale value,year after year.
The 4Runner is built at theaward-winning Tahara plant inJapan, where many Lexusesare also manufactured.
DESIGNToyota released an
updated 4Runner back in2014, and therefore not muchhas changed on the outside
for 2016. The 4Runner, how-ever, has a slightly different“face” among its four avail-able models.
For a more rugged andaggressive appearance, theSR5 and Trail Edition havea gaping grille and crescent-shaped intakes below theheadlights. But the Limited
4Runner hauls a lot of value
The Toyota 4Runner delivers impressive capability, excellent longevity and strong resale value, three traits that helped convince auto reviewer David Chao topurchase one for himself this year. The 2016 version is a comfortable, reliable daily driver that can also take you out on the dusty trails. PHOTO SUPPLIED

Today’slesson:How tostopThere are two four-waystops between my houseand my daughter’s school.
We of course walk, nomatter the weather, becausetaking the time to talk isimportant, and so is a littlelight exercise, and besides –how else would I get her tolisten to my really terrible dadjokes?
As we walk, we like to lookat the cars and the people asthey pass. The road is narrowbut relatively busy, so there’sa chance to see all sorts ofstuff, recognize the regularcommuters, and maybe geta glance at an oddball. Mykid is getting pretty good atmemorizing all the makes andmodels of anything interest-ing. “A Toyota badge,” shedeclared one day, “looks likea man wearing a cowboy hat.”And so it does too.
However, the one thingher father notices, apart fromthe occasional interestingmachine, is the number of

Drivers domiss things, such asthat cop standing right there
models lose the sharp intakesand add a chrome bumperto divide the grille for a moreluxurious look.
Carrying on the style ofits predecessors, the 20164Runner retains a boxy over-all shape. All models comestandard with a roof rack, butthe Trail Edition adds a hoodscoop and higher groundclearance.
Inside, the high qualitymaterials make the 4Runnerfeel comfortable, but notquite at the level of theHighlander. The blocky layoutreminds you the 4Runneris based on a truck, thoughthere is plenty of usablestorage.
The 4Runner is basically afive-passenger vehicle but themore luxurious Limited modelis available in either five-passenger or seven-passenger
configurations.PERFORMANCE
The 4Runner gained itspopularity through strongperformance and its reputa-tion as being indestructible.This is something the 2016model continues to offer.
In that effort, the 4Runneris built around a proven andpowerful yet efficient 4.0-litreV-6. At its peak, it generates
people who come to a com-plete stop at the stop signs. Ihave been making this walkfor several years, and I wouldlike to report that the numberis now up to a grand total offive.
It is the law in BritishColumbia that you must cometo a complete stop at anymarked stop sign. It is also thelaw that if you see a cyclistperform a rolling stop, youmust immediately hurry homeand write a long letter to theeditor about how all cyclistsare scofflaws and should becomposted for their owngood.
But few people seem toobey the first law. This isn’t
a study, merely a personalobservation, and thus prob-ably shouldn’t be used toguide traffic policy, but thenumber of people who slow toa roll and then simply cruiseright on past the stop sign isstaggering. Periodically, theRCMP will set up a patrol carand hand out tickets to theworst offenders. Those poorofficers. They must get handcramps from all the writing upthey have to do.
I can see why it happens.We’re all in a hurry, it’s not thebusiest street in the world,and a driver might thinkthey’ve got great sightlines(though not good enough tospot the marked police carthat’s about to give you aticket). But there is at least
one person who habituallycomes down a side-streettowards the main street andhangs a right turn while barelyslowing. I’ve made eye-contactwith her before through herentire turn – which meansshe’s not even looking whereshe’s going.
So please, not to bepedantic, but just stop it. Stopit right there. No, that’s too farforward. According to officialtraffic guidelines, you’re sup-posed to stop before the stopline, and not halfway into theintersection, and not on top ofthe crosswalk, and certainlynot on top of poor old Fredthere.
Another poor piece of

On his daily walks to school to drop off his daughter, columnist Brendan McAleer has noted that many drivers seem tomisunderstand the “stop” part of a Stop sign. PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH
Most drivers do a full stop roughly neverbehaviour I observe regularlyis the Canadian standoff. In aMexican standoff, grimacinggun-wielding types threateneach other until one makesthe first move. In a Canadianstandoff, it’s a case of “Afteryou,” “No, after you,” “No, Iinsist,” “No, it is I who insist.”Meanwhile, traffic behindbacks up all the way toSquamish.
Let me break it downfor those who’ve forgotten.The first driver to arrive atthe intersection andmake acomplete full stop gets to gofirst. If two vehicles arriveat the same time, the one onthe right has right of way:surely that can’t be that hardto remember. If two opposingvehicles arrive at the sametime and one is turning left,the turning vehicle must yield.Wave if you must, but simplyfollowing the rules of the roadis being polite enough as it is.Even for Canada.
Furthermore, at what pointdid an amber light suddenlystart meaning, “Activate maxi-mum throttle immediately?!”If you’re approaching a stalegreen light, you should beexpecting the change, andprepared to make a judgmentcall. It’s like those people who
wait for the cashier to ring upand bag every item and reachfor their wallet or purse at thelast possible moment, as ifsurprised they have to pay fortheir groceries.
If you’re unsure, use thepedestrian signals to give youa clue. If there’s a countdowntimer, you can see how longyoumight have, and if the redhand is solid, be vigilant andprepared to stop if it’s safe.
As a father, I of coursemust model good behaviourfor my child, and thus restrainmyself from heaving bricksat people who blow rightthrough stop signs eitherthrough obliviousness orentitlement. But I gotta tellya folks, sometimes she’slooking in the other directionand there’s a tempting look-ing chunk of masonry sittingright over there. No, I mustn’t.Shouldn’t. I’d better stopmyself.

There are both five-passenger and seven-passenger 4Runner models, and both offer fold-down seats that produce a cavernous cargo area. PHOTOS SUPPLIED
Truck-like 4Runner notas agile as some SUVs270 h.p. and 278 foot-poundsof torque, but what it doesbest is balance power deliv-ery and efficiency across itsoperating range.
Although the latest tech-nology features six or sevenspeed gears, the 4Runner isequipped with a proven five-speed super ECT automatictransmission. Using a trans-mission cooler, it deliversconfident acceleration andendurance in any weatheror driving condition, whilealso returning a combinedfuel economy rating of 12.8litres/100 kilometres.
The 4Runner’s suspensiondelivers a decent combinationof ride comfort and corneringability. However, its heightand weight causes it to leanconsiderably if pushed hardthrough a switchback.
While the 4Runner is notas agile as a car-based SUV, itsnarrow body makes it easierto manoeuvre in tight spacesthan a full-size SUV. The sameholds true in terms of noiseand vibration.
Driver feedback iscertainly truck-like, but thatworks well off-road. TrailEdition models come withfour-wheel Crawl Control anda Kinetic Suspension Systemwith disconnecting stabilizerbars to help in this area.
All 4Runner’s comeequipped with a tow pack-age that includes a heavyduty tow-hitch receiver, 4+7pin wiring harness, trailerbrake controller pre-wire, andsupplemental transmission
cooler. This allows the4Runner to easily haul 5,000pounds.
As a daily driver, the4Runner is so silky smoothand comfortable that it rivalsluxury cars costing twice itsprice in terms of ride quality.
ENVIRONMENTThe cabin of the 4Runner
could be described as simple,but it certainly is roomyand versatile. The power-adjustable front seats aresupportive and well designed.
The split 40/20/40 secondrow can be arranged innumerous seating and cargoconfigurations. These seatscan also recline to providea more comfortable feel allaround.
In seven-passenger4Runner models, the thirdrow is best suited for chil-dren. When not needed, the

The 4Runner’s power-adjustable front seats are supportiveand well designed. PHOTO SUPPLIED
seats fold flat into the floor toreveal nearly 90 cubic feet ofcargo space. It does raise thetrunk floor in terms of heightsomewhat, making it a bitawkward to load and unload.
Bolstered with more stan-dard features, the base 20164Runner should be adequatefor most families. It boastsToyota’s 6.1-inch displayaudio system with eightspeakers, Bluetooth capabil-ity, navigation, and a powermoonroof, among many otherfeatures.
All dials and buttons arelarge and easy to figure out.You can operate everythingfrom the radio to the low-range gearing with gloves on.
The vehicle is availablewith a 120V AC power outlet.This is helpful to keep all theaccessories used by the mod-ern family fully charged.
FEATURESPrices for the 4Runner
start at $44,090 for the baseSR5, and range up to $50,790for the Limited 7-Passenger.
Standard equipmentincludes heated front seats,navigation, Sirius satelliteradio, Bluetooth, voice recog-nition, a backup camera, anda power moonroof.
Additional features,available as options or onhigher trims, include leatherseats, driver seat memorysystem, ventilated front seats,dual-zone automatic climatecontrol, keyless entry withpush-button start, automatic
headlights, and clearance andbackup sensors.
Fuel efficiency numbers(litres/100 kilometres) are14.2 city and 11.1 highway.
THUMBS UPThe 2016 4Runner is a
reliable daily driver that candouble as a trail warrior. Also,if you need three rows ofseats in a comfort package,there aren’t too many choicesout there.
THUMBS DOWNIf you expect your SUV
to ride like a “sport” utilityor cross-over, the 4Runner’struck-like handling won’timpress. It also isn’t the mostaffordable on the market.
THE BOTTOM LINEThe 2016 4Runner is rug-
ged enough to please its loyalfans, and its high resale valueand top-notch reliability makeit an easy purchase decision.
CompetitorsNISSAN XTERRA
While the Xterra may nothave all the features of a pureoff-roader, it is every bit asrugged. The Xterra also hasa strong reliability record,though it’s not as luxurious asthe 4Runner.

The Jeep Wrangler is still the off-road king but if you are not going to be hitting the trails veryoften it may be a bit of overkill as a daily city driver. PHOTOS SUPPLIED
The LR2 has historic Land Rover DNA, taking driverswherever they want to go in supreme comfort.
The Nissan Xterra is every bit as rugged as its competitorsalthough not as luxurious as the 4Runner or LR2.
The Xterra is available intwo models and has a startingprice of $34,013.
JEEP WRANGLERThe Jeep Wrangler offers
commanding off-road capabil-ity and the Pentastar V-6 isthe perfect fit for this vehicle.However, if you are not goingto use the Wrangler’s off-roadprowess often, it may be anoverkill as a daily driver.
Prices start at $25,495 forthe base Sport model, andrange up to $42,490 for theUnlimited 75th AnniversaryEdition.
LAND ROVER LR2The LR2 has historic Land
Rover DNA and is thereforeequally at home on a foresttrail as it is in the urbanjungle. Land Rovers arefor people who want to go
everywhere in supreme com-fort, though the LR2 is gettingold in design.
Land Rover LR2 startingprices range from $39,990 to$48,[email protected]
