The Shipyards plan surges aheadBRENT [email protected]
The City of North Vancouver’s grandiose plans for awaterfront destination have taken a big step from con-cept to reality.
The city has named Quay Property Management, the parentcompany of Lonsdale QuayMarket, as its partner for developingThe Shipyards on Lot 5 and work is expected to begin this year.
The city debuted its detailed plans on Tuesday, includinga covered seasonal ice rink/splash pool, movable event andconcert stage, new retail and restaurant buildings, more hotel
rooms, underground parking and Spirit Trail connections.Mayor Darrell Mussatto said it is a “turning point” for the city.“I think this is a real positive legacy. It’s going to be a great
public, open gathering space for everyone. For families, foryounger people, for older people and it’s going to make that siteusable 365 days a year,” he said. “I think it’s going to be a reallygreat people place – one of the best in the Lower Mainland.”

Irwin Park elementaryschool isn’t home to anyfancy specialty educa-tion programs – it’s nota French Immersionor an InternationalBaccalaureate school.
It’s a big school, with about400 students, and an increas-ingly diverse one – about 26per cent of kids who attenddon’t speak English as a firstlanguage and about six percent have special needs.
As Irwin Park principal LizHill puts it, “We are a regularschool.”
But this regular WestVancouver public schoolearned special recognitionthis week when it was rankedamong the top elementaryschools in the province inthe annual Fraser Institute’sschool ranking report card.
AnotherWest Vancouverpublic school – EcoleCedardale – received the sametop score of 10 out of 10 on the
institute’s rankings. The twopublic schools shared the topspot with 16 private schools,includingWest Vancouver’sMulgrave school.
Hill credits dedicatedteachers, supportive parentsand a welcoming attitude forsuccess in the classroom.
The school has a focus onteaching kids self-regulationskills early so they’re ready tolearn, she said, and encour-ages reading with a specialprimary reading program.
“When you walk into aschool you get a sense andfeeling of what a school is allabout. People say hi to youwhen you walk in.”
Overall, West Vancouverpublic elementary schoolswere ranked by the FraserInstitute as the best in theprovince, with an averagescore of 9.2 out of 10.
Chris Kennedy, schoolssuperintendent for WestVancouver, acknowledgessome of that academic suc-cess likely has to do withthe relative affluence and
education of West Vancouverparents.
The school district’s smallsize is also an advantage, hesaid.
“We’re able to pinpoint stu-dents who are struggling,” hesaid, and offer support earlyon, while in a larger system,those kids can sometimes fallthrough the cracks. “We’renot overwhelmed by sheernumbers.”
The Fraser Institute’sschool rankings remaincontroversial decades afterthe right-wing think tankbegan scoring schools basedon results on standardizedacademic foundation skillsassessment (FSA) testsadministered by the Ministryof Education.
The B.C. TeachersFederation has long cam-paigned to scrap those tests,saying they are not a goodindicator of learning, failto account for large socio-economic differences betweenschools and are used by theFraser Institute to promoteprivate schools at the expenseof public education.
“We don’t put any cre-dence in the ranking,” saidRobMillard, president of theWest Vancouver Teachers
Association.Test scores are only “a
snapshot of what’s going onfor that student on any par-ticular day,” he said.
“We don’t have toomanykids in our district who aregoing to school hungry.”
Kennedy said as a parentwhose own kids wrote theFSA tests, “it’s another pieceof useful information,” alongwith the assessment of theclassroom teacher.
As an administrator,Kennedy said the test scorescan be useful in flaggingconcerns in cases where kidsaren’t meeting provincialexpectations.
One criticism he has of thetests is “they do feel dated” intheir focus on reading, writingandmath. “In terms of whatwe’re valuing, how creativeor innovative kids are is alsoimportant,” he said.
Kennedy said his adviceto parents wanting to knowhow schools are doing is “goand visit the school” – startingwith the one in the neighbour-hood. He addedmore parentsprobably get their informationabout schools from chat-ting on the soccer sidelinesthan they do from the FraserInstitute.

TREVOR LAUTENS: LESS THAN A SMART CHESS MOVE PAGE 8
BRENT [email protected]
Residents around SentinelHill in West Vancouverare hoping the provincewill step in and fix a deaf-ening problem in BurleyPark.
When the Ministryof Transportation andInfrastructure expanded theUpper Levels Highway in the1970s, it never installed soundbarriers. Since then, the parkhas been largely unusable,nearby residents say.
“This park was givento the community for theuse and enjoyment by thecommunity and (the noisebarriers) should have beendone back then. It was not.Now we’re left with an everincreasing noise factor. It’s sobad,” said Jacquie Semple,who lives near the park.“There’s a low, pathetic woodfencing that’s always blowingout. It’s just not adequate.”
John Wilcockson, whogrew up next to the park andnow raises his family in hischildhood home, said visitorsin the park can’t even carryon a conversation there.
“We had to yell at eachother in order to reallyhear each other. It’s just anunpleasant place to be. It’skind of a forgotten park,” hesaid.
Residents worry the soundmay be more than unpleas-ant, possibly dangerous. TheDistrict of West Vancouversent a bylaw officer tomeasure the noise comingfrom the highway and notedvolumes of about 67 decibelson the north side of the park.
Following numerousrequests to the Ministryof Transportation andInfrastructure, neighbourswere told installing noise bar-riers after highway expansionprojects only became officialpolicy in 2014.
The 2014 policy states:“Passive parks and other land
uses … for which tranquillityis a desirable, if not essentialattribute, will be consideredfor mitigation on a case-by-case basis.”
The ministry did not pro-vide anyone to be interviewedbut instead sent a statement.
“The ministry hasreviewed its sound mitigationpolicy that states the require-ment for sound mitigation, ifwarranted, would have beenprovided at the time of high-way widening. The policy,like others the ministry relieson, is not retroactive asstandards for measuring andconducting acoustic analysischange over time,” it read.
But that date is arbitrary,and the park certainly wouldhave been a candidate forsound barriers had the policybeen in place sooner, theneighbours argue.
The ministry is willing towork with the District of WestVancouver to permit installa-tion of a noise wall on theirright of way, but the districthas shown no interest intaking on the cost. Accordingto the ministry, the cost ofinstalling a new sound wallcan run between $600,000 and$1.2 million per kilometre.
“The ministry willcontinue to meet with arearesidents to discuss theirconcerns and look into whatsolutions may be possible forBurley Park,” the province’sstatement concluded.
The park, meanwhile,continues to be maintained,cleaned and occasionallyeven upgraded at districttaxpayers’ expense whilebeing used for little more thana place for dogs to relievethemselves, Wilcockson said
“(My kids) call it pooh-pooh park,” he said.
West Vancouver-CapilanoMLA Ralph Sultan has goneto bat for the residents in thearea on the sound barrierissue in the past but didn’trespond to a request forcomment.
The neighbours are hop-ing to get a sit-down withTransportation Minister ToddStone the next time he’s intown, but so far, their requesthas gone unanswered.

Leasing revenue to coverplazaoperating costsfor proposal process last year.
Quay PropertyManagement’s proposal stoodout based on the finances andthe content of their proposal,Mussatto said.
“Council was very support-ive and I think everyone is inthe same direction,” Mussattosaid. “They really captured theessence of what we’re lookingfor in terms of public space.They have a great design.”
Taylor Mathiesen, directorof operations for QPM, saidthe project is a natural fitfor his company. The Quay’smanagement has been a stake-holder in the consultationprocess since the beginningand the company has a lot ofexperience developing andmanaging animated resort,market and community proj-ects like this one.
“It’s been on our radar fora long time,” Mathiesen said.“It’s really consistent with thetypes of projects we like to doand in a neighbourhood we’realready passionate about.”
The exact financesinvolved haven’t beenmadepublic as not all the papershave been signed, Mussattosaid, but Quay Properties will
be paying for the $35-millionconstruction of the amenitiesas well as lease payments tothe city for the retail, hoteland restaurant space. Theoperating costs should becovered by the revenue thecity brings in from the lease,Mussatto added. “We’re goingto generate those funds fromthe money wemake at thesite. The revenue we see fromTap & Barrel, the Pipe Shop,and the lease will cover all theoperating costs pretty muchof all of the site. It will be awash.”
The city, however, will besharing the cost of 140 newunderground parking stallsand putting up roughly $5 mil-lion to remediate the soil leftcontaminated from its time asan industrial shipyard.
Access to the rink shouldbe free, Mussatto said, withskate rentals available onsite. The splash pool will beshallow enough that lifeguardswon’t be required. More publicwashrooms and change roomsare planned for the north sideof the lot.
The 50 to 60 hotel roomscould be owned and operatedby Lonsdale Quay, PinnacleHotels or a new boutiquehotel. It will be up to Quay
Properties to decide, Mussattosaid.
The Pipe Shop, where untilJanuary, the North VancouverMuseum and Archives wasplanning to move to, willlikely remain as a rentableevent space but the city isplanning to add washrooms,lighting and heating and airconditioning as well as a smallcommissary. Council will bedeciding in the next year whatto do with the historic build-ing over the long term.
Not everyone loves what’sin the plan, Mussatto con-ceded, but every project hasits critics – many of whomchange their tune, he added.
“For the people who arenot as keen, I hope they giveit a second chance once it’sopen,” he said. “There werepeople who were naysayersabout the Friday Night Market.There were people who werenaysayers about the GreenNecklace. Some of themchanged their minds as wellonce it was constructed andbuilt and they saw how greatit was.”
Detailed designs and soilremediation at the site areexpected to start this year andthe project is expected to becompleted by the fall of 2018.

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 specific 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®.

CPR. He was rushed to LionsGate Hospital by ambulancewhere he was pronounceddead.
No official cause of deathhas been released, butpreliminary indications arethe man likely died of smokeinhalation.
Fire investigators, theNorth Vancouver RCMP andthe BC Coroner’s Service areall investigating.
Investigators don’t yetknow what started the fire,but so far there are no signsof anything suspicious, saidCairns.
The fire appears to havestarted in the bedroom,where most of the fire dam-age occurred.
Cairns said there wereno working smoke detec-tors in the home, adding it’simportant that people check
the devices and changebatteries in smoke detectorsthat are not wired into theelectrical system.
“Smoke can be very toxicand can knock you down ina second,” the assistant firechief said.
Neighbours confirmedthe identity of the home-owner as John Welch, whohad lived in the neighbour-hood for about 20 years.
Welch worked in theinsurance department ofthe University of BritishColumbia for over a decadeand had retired three yearsago.
Ron Holton, chief riskofficer for the universitywho worked with Welch,said colleagues wereshocked and saddened atthe news this week.
“We’re all feeling howunfair it is. He’d lookedforward to his retirement
and spending more time inhis garden,” said Holton.“He wanted to have time totravel.
“John had a wonderfulsense of humour” and waswell respected throughoutthe UBC community, saidHolton, adding he hadkept in touch with formercolleagues.
Neighbours said Welchlived alone and had somehealth problems in recent
years. But Holton saidhe had been well enoughto attend the depart-ment’s Christmas lunch inDecember.
Cairns said firefightersdid all they could to savehim.
“They did a great job ofgetting him out of the housequickly,” he said. “These arethe tougher calls for sure.They are the ones that staywith you.”

In chess, good players must thinkseveral moves in advance.
But none of the group of chessplayers who’ve been meeting atPark Royal for 50 years anticipated
the shopping centre’s decision tounceremoniously oust them. A group ofabout 30 chess players at the mall wererecently told it was game over at theirregular spot in the mall’s food court.
The reason? They were taking upspace meant for “paying customers.”
Mall management threatened to callthe police on the players – many intheir 70s and 80s – if they continued to“loiter” against mall policy.
The mall’s move has since ignited astorm of public indignation, and rightlyso. Even Mayor Michael Smith weighedin suggesting the mall may want torethink its play.
Just who are these hooligans the
mall wants gone?Assorted philanthropists and retir-
ees who have contributed to buildingtheir community and who have givenback to the mall by hosting tourna-ments and offering lessons. Apparentlynot the sort the mall wants taking upvaluable real estate.
It does seem deeply ironic that inan age when shopping malls strive topromote themselves as community “vil-lages,” that when people actually createa community, they become personaenon gratae.
The chess players are part of themall’s culture, one its corporate ownersshould be embracing, not tossing in ashort-sighted and mean-spirited move.
It may be the end game for chessplayers but we’d like to think it’s notyet the end.
Park Royal, it’s your move.

Stunning blow to WestVancouver town hall’sAmbleside-Dundaraverenewal vision (or
fantasy): The Avant Gardenerin the core 1400-block MarineDrive is shutting down.
After 28 years ownerDarlene Sanders is holdinga 30-per-cent-off closing-outsale and— romantically— isbound for new life and love on14 acres of English soil.
The everything-must-gosale ends April 15. No one hascome forward to buy the busi-ness as a going concern.
The wittily namedAvant Gardener (how’syour French?) is just whatAmbleside needs more of—beautiful goods, creativelydisplayed— if it aims to lurethe rich residents of the mostexpensive real estate in thecountry, and to draw custom-ers from a certain nearbyexpansionist shopping centre(see next item).
It’s strong on imagina-tive design and fine quality.Yet it is street-appealing andbrowser-friendly, entirelywithout the intimidat-ing air of some up-market
establishments that feel as ifthey make iPhone checks onyour assets before you crosstheir thresholds.
Sanders herself is attrac-tively smart and engaginglydown-to-earth— appropri-ate for gardeners, to besure—with roots (enoughalready with the horticulturalpuns!) in East Vancouver. Shecan’t speak too glowingly ofher gentle sales assistant,Margaret Waddell— “awonderful, wonderful woman,no pretense about it, hon-est, hard-working.” What areference.
Now the storybook
element. Or true-life fairytalefor TV? Some 25 years agoSanders met a couple whoshared her gardening passion.When the wife passed away,Sanders and her now-widowerfriend kept contact with theirenthusiasm for all thingsgardening.
She’s joining that friend,Maurice Foster, the ownerof the 14-acre plot, a privatearboretum in England’s gar-den county of Kent. Foster is arenowned British plantsman,holder of the rarest of Englishgardening distinctions, theRoyal Horticultural SocietyVictoria Medal of Honour,attainable only through thedeath of a previous member:It’s restricted to just 63 livingmembers— one for each yearof Victoria’s reign. (I have abackyard I wish he’d look at.)
Trade has been brisk atthe Avant Gardener. So areregrets, Sanders said. “Therewas an outpouring of affectionthis last week— ‘Oh no, welove the store, it has a soul,it’s different’ … ’’
But for the more hardof nose: This underlinesAmbleside/Dundarave’s
desperate need for moredistinctive, imaginative,prosperous businesses— andfor more parking, parking,parking.

Poor Laljis. Shed a tear.The family owns Park

Enough’s enough. PR’spatience is exhausted. Lastmonth its general managersent them a letter orderingthem to leave. If they fail tocomply, “it will give us noalternative but to reach outto the West Vancouver PoliceDepartment.”
Who are these putativecriminals? These undesirablesinviting a paddywagon trip tothe Crowbar Motel?
They are chess players.Some people think they’ve
been a charming part of ParkRoyal for those 50 years,when Britain’s Guinness fam-ily owned the centre.
The Laljis know personallyabout expulsion. BrothersAmin and Mansoor Lalji wereamong the Ugandan Asians— ethnically, East Indians— kicked out in the 1970s bymonstrous Uganda dictatorIdi Amin, furious that theydominated business and theprofessions.
The expelled could takeonly $500 each. But the Laljiswere Ismailis, a communitar-ian Muslim sect that collectsand lends adherents’ money— better than any bank. Vividchildhood memory: A photoin Life magazine of Ismailisloading jewels and gold ona scale balancing their thenleader, Aga Khan III. And hewas no lightweight.
The Vancouver Sun playedthis story big— top frontpage, pictures. Friend Bill Xreported the chess closurewas the talk of a gala heattended. My opening wordsweren’t sarcasm. You have totruly pity people so dollar-driven they don’t know there
isn’t money enough to buybad publicity like this.

Opinions about cops incherry pickers are the pitsDear Editor:
Re: BrendanMcAleer’s col-umn entitled Mixed Reactionto Cherry Picking Police(April 1).
Brendan, Brendan,Brendan... Your April 1column, I’m hoping, wasappropriate for the date.
I love your car column but Iwish you would please stick toobsessing about cup holdersor lack of and the fact thatsome new car is 10 millime-tres longer, shorter or higherthan before. I wish you wouldstick to talking about cars andleave the heavy lifting aboutroad safety to others morequalified, like the cops. Theysee it all.
Regarding your commentsthat going up in the cherrypicker was “unfair, unsport-ing.” So, you are saying it’s OKfor the jerk in the Mercedes(or BMW) to talk on the phoneand put my life in danger?What you overlook is thatdriving is not a right, not agame and not a contest. Whensome self-absorbed, oblivious“my-time-is-more-important-than-your-safety” driver doesdumb things, it makes myblood boil.
I’ve been driving for 50years. Talking, texting, hands-free ( yes, even hands-free) isan accident waiting to happen.That selfish act is puttingmysafety and other innocent
third parties at risk. Nobodyhas to get hurt on the road.
Good on the cops, bad onthe idiots.
Distracted driving is justlike driving drunk. Take thephone and car away for a day,then I guarantee stupid behav-iour will stop.
If the cops want to goup in a cherry picker or dosomersaults in the middleof the road to get drivers tobehave like responsible adults,then I’m all for it. The cops aredoing a great job, and a ticketfor unsafe behaviour is betterthan wrecking everyone’s fam-ily for the rest of their life.Bruce LindsayNorth Vancouver

CNV, Lillooet to petition for return of rail
JEREMY [email protected]
There’s almost 250kilometres betweenthem, but the City ofNorth Vancouver andthe District of Lillooetare hoping to get on thesame track.
The two communitiesplan to work together topetition the provincial
government to bring backpassenger rail betweenNorth Vancouver and PrinceGeorge, following a councilmeeting Monday.
“I would love to seethat,” said Mayor DarrellMussatto.
The challenge willlikely be working with CN,according to Mussatto. Thenational railway companyowns the tracks and tends
to relegate passenger rail totheir lowest priority, accord-ing to the mayor.
“My understanding isthat there’s a lot less freightgoing up and down thetracks then their used tobe,” he said. “There mightbe an opportunity for usto have that passenger railback again.”
It’s been nearly 14 yearssince the former B.C. Railline was leased to CN, whosubsequently discontinuedthe Budd Car, a rail carMussatto and other ski-ers rode on their way to
Whistler.Closing the line left rural
communities strugglingto fill an economic void,according to Lillooet MayorMarg Lampman.
Lampman appealed toNorth Vancouver councilafter garnering unanimoussupport from Lillooetcouncil.
Lampman cited increas-ing pressure on highways,greater costs to travel-ling residents and a largerburden on the environmentas reasons for restoring railtravel.
North Vancouver Coun.Linda Buchanan agreed.
The loss of the railline has hampered theB.C.’s ability to showcasethe province to tourists,she said. It’s also been ahuge inconvenience forLillooet residents, particu-larly in light of the loss ofGreyhound service, sheadded.
“If you’re a senior ordon’t drive in the Districtof Lillooet, you’re a little bitstuck.”
While the restored railline could be a “wonderful
link” for UNBC students,Coun. Pam Bookham saidticket prices should be keptlow.
The new line shouldn’temulate the RockyMountaineer tour trains,“where only those tour-ists with deep pockets canafford the luxury of railtravel,” she said.
After being foundedin 1912, the Pacific GreatEastern railway – runningfrom North Vancouver’sPemberton Avenue to PrinceGeorge – became the B.C.railway in 1972.
Sea to Sky passenger servicemakes sense, mayors say
DNV firefighters trainedin autismawarenessJEREMY [email protected]
District of NorthVancouver firefighters arenow specially trained tohelp people with autismspectrum disorder, mak-ing the department thesecond in Canada to com-plete that training.
People with autism canface a greater risk in anemergency due to both anincreased sensitivity to theirsurroundings and a tendencyto flee. Almost half of childrenwith autism have run awayfrom a safe environment,according to the NationalAutism Association.
“Being aware that a personwith autism can be hyper orhypo-sensitive to stimuli iscrucial knowledge, especiallyduring an emergency whenfirefighters have to be ‘hands-on,’” stated Fire Chief VictorPenman in a press release.
District firefighters aretrained both to identifypeople with autism and tounderstand the specific tech-niques required to help them.
“By understanding autism,firefighters can use strategiesto help reduce the level ofstress and anxiety during anincident (and) communicatemore effectively with theperson involved,” Penmanstated.
The mortality rate amongpeople with autism is approxi-mately double that of thegeneral population for ages 10to 43, according to a 33-yearstudy by Danish researcherspublished in 2008.

TheWest VancouverLegion is commemoratingthe 99th anniversary ofthe battle of Vimy RidgeSaturday.
The First WorldWar fightfor high ground in northernFrance is, “Where Canadareally became a nation withinthe western world,” saidlegion executive David Jones.
Nearly 3,600 Canadiantroops died in the four-day
siege and 7,000 more wereinjured bymachine-gun fire,grenades and bayonets on thesteep terrain.
“Try to run down a 20-footcrater and run back up theother side with someoneshooting at you with amachine gun,” Jones said.
While the battle’s import isdebated, overtaking Germantroops on the seven-kilometrehill did give the Allies a view of
trenches on the either side ofthe ridge.
The battle marks the firsttime the four divisions ofthe Canadian Corps foughttogether.
Observers will parade fromthe legion’s 18th Street loca-tion at approximately 11 a.m.and head west downMarineDrive to the Memorial Parkcenotaph for a prayer as wellas a speech.

Victoria playwright Joan MacLeod was born andraised in North Vancouver, so it’s not surprising thattwo of the characters in her 2013 drama The Valleywould hail from her home turf.
In the Arts Club Theatre Company’s production ofMacLeod’s play, Kerry Sandomirsky takes on the role ofNorth Shore mom Sharon, whose 18-year-old son Connor(Daniel Doheny), a formerly high-achieving high school stu-dent, has just returned home from the University of Calgary
with anxiety and depression.“When he comes home for Thanksgiving he stuns me by
telling me that he is dropping out,” Sandomirsky explains. “Iam thrust from empty-nesting into caretaking for someonewho becomes increasingly ill, so a big switch from the stage oflife I was expecting to go into.”
The catalyst driving the story forward is an incident inwhich Connor has a psychotic breakdown on the SkyTrain.He’s arrested at Joyce Station in Vancouver, and is injured inthe process.
“I interpret the police treatment of my son as excessive,”Sandomirsky says. “I become a bit of an advocate, obviouslyfor my son, but also for how police deal with mental illnessand the challenges they have.”
The arrest connects Sharon and Connor with the two othercharacters in the ensemble piece: Dan (Robert Salvador), thepolice officer involved in the SkyTrain incident, and his wife
Janie (Pippa Mackie), whose post-partum depression is drivinga wedge through their relationship. The couple lives in MapleRidge.
Sharon soon learns that she doesn’t know the full story ofwhat happened the day of her son’s arrest.
“I leap to a conclusion because my son is injured, but I soonlearn that there are a lot more extenuating circumstances,”Sandomirsky says. “When I learn how complex the real eventactually was, I invite the police officer and his wife to a healingcircle.”
The Valley is rife with topical themes, one of which is therocky relationship between law enforcers and people withmental illness. The play examines these themes through thelens of two families, both struggling to stay connected in theface of their respective challenges.
PippaMackie, David Salvado, Daniel Doheny andKerry Sandomirsky are featured performers in The Arts Club’s production of TheValley. PHOTO SUPPLIEDDAVIDCOOPER

Presentation HouseGallery’s NANITCHchallenges the dominantnarrative of progressby balancing feats withfailures, giving truth to theprovince’s history througha photographic explora-tion in time.
Drawing from the UnoLangmann Family Collectionof B.C. Photographs, donated
to UBC in 2014, PHG curatorssifted through 18,000 printsand negatives to create theexhibition.
“What we’ve done here
is we’ve really emphasizedthe importance of albums,”says curator Helga Pakasaar.“In general the importance ofhow photographs were not
so muchmeant to be seen assingle pictures on the wall,but rather as part of groupsand sequences… to givethis immersive sense of this
land that, in many cases, theywanted to indicate wasn’treally wild, but somethingthat is being domesticatedand is beautiful without the
negatives attached to that.”Now a ghost town located
near Kamloops, Walhachinwas created as a packagedcommunity to attract Englishsettlers to the province. Thealbum lays out Victorianhomes placed in the middleof a flat, desert-like landscape.Flourishing orchards arepictured at the height of theday with attractive patchesof shade, and irrigationtrellises are evidence of theengineering that portray thecommunity as establishedand ready for the taking. But amisunderstanding of the landcaused the vision to collapse.Orchards don’t survive well inthe centre of B.C.’s dry belt.
Viewers of the exhibitioncan flip through the album ofWalhachin on touch screensthat display scanned imagesfrom the collection.
A role of more singularimages is represented in theform of postcards. Rangingfrommore photojournalisticgenres, one postcard showsa free speech demonstration,while other postcards depicttailored, hand-tinted images oflandscapes and people.
“We wanted to, in the waythe exhibition is laid out, kindof emphasize the seriality ofpictures and the proliferation,

Sandomirsky was immedi-ately drawn to the script asa long-time fan of MacLeod.She performed in the award-winning playwright’s firstfull-length play Toronto,Mississippi in Regina back in1990.
“It was one of the besttheatrical experiences of mylife,” she says, describingMacLeod’s writing as mature,witty, and hopeful, withoutbeing overly sentimental.
The Valley, she says,does not villainize police orvictimize the mentally ill, butrather looks at the issue ofcare and public safety froma balanced perspective. Infact, Sandomirsky says shehas a deeper understanding
of police work after getting toknow the Dan character.
“It just flipped my frameof reference. I felt like I waseducated in some way aboutthe challenges of policing inthis city,” she says.
Directed by Mindy Parfitt,this production features anurban, pared-back set witha raked stage, meaning thefloor slopes upwards fromfront to back so the actorsappear at different levels.That’s proven a challengefor Sandomirsky, who had astage accident back in 2003that left her with a chronicbalance problem.
“This production is a bitlike acting on a tilt-a-whirl.I’m off balance all the time.I’m wearing heels. I’m goingupstage, downstage, so
there’s never a moment in theplay that my brain isn’t hav-ing to recalibrate.”
She’s hopeful that beinga bit physically unstablewill be an asset to herperformance.
“In some ways maybe I’llbe able to weave it into mycharacter in that emotionallyI’m off balance,” she says.
Although The Valley takesplace in the Lower Mainland,it’s a story that could eas-ily take place anywhere,Sandomirsky notes. Thatsaid, Arts Club audiences willlikely appreciate the local set-tings and may even find somehumour in the familiarity.
“It could happen in anycity, but I always find itparticularly delightful when Iknow the references.”

HankWilliams shows hisdark side in newbiopic
REVIEW: I SAW THE LIGHT
! I SawThe Light. Written and directed byMarcAbraham. Starring TomHiddleston.Rating: 5 (out of 10)
JULIE CRAWFORDContributingWriter
I Saw The Light, Marc Abraham’s biopic about legend-ary country crooner Hank Williams, does much tore-create the rigorous schedules that defined the post-Depression country music scene but little to delve intothe demons that chased Williams into an early graveat age 29.
Whatever shortcomings plague the film, they are notdue to Tom Hiddleston. Never mind the criticism that a Britshouldn’t be playing America’s first bona-fide country super-star: Hiddleston, known best to North American audiences asLoki in The Avengers franchise, does an outstanding job withboth the accent and with Hank’s trademark yodeling twang.
But we never get to the root of his boozing, his womaniz-ing largely takes place offscreen, and his songwriting processis ignored altogether. What’s left is a somewhat soulless
character study of the man known as the Hillbilly Shakespeare.The film opens with a prettily lit but out-of-context dream
scene of Hank playing “Cold Cold Heart” and black and whitemonologues from his manager Fred Rose (Bradley Whitford),which serve as periodic narration.
The story takes flight on a rainy night at an Alabamagas station, where Williams marries newly divorced Audrey(Elizabeth Olsen, great here) against the will of his controllingmama Lillie (Cherry Jones). “I haven’t been driving you allover the state for 10 years to let her swoop in…” barks Lillie,who fights with Audrey over the money from Hank’s gigs.
Audrey doesn’t just want the cash, she wants the glory, butproves to be a middling talent. Hank’s insistence that Audreysing rankles his band (the Drifting Cowboys) and his handlers.“At least turn her mic down for God’s sake,” says one radioboss.
Hank’s local success means nothing: he wants Nashville’sGrand Ole Opry, the holy grail of country music. Hit records,marital discord and several stints in detox follow, until onJune 11, 1949, Hank gets his wish of appearing at the Opry.
Tom Hiddleston, known best to North American audiences as Loki in The Avengers franchise, does an outstanding job withboth the accent and with Hank Williams’ trademark yodeling twang. PHOTO SUPPLIED

LemonBucketOrkestra ready to rock
!LemonBucketOrkestra,CapilanoUniversity,Thursday,April 14,2016at8p.m.Tickets:$28/$25.Formore informationvisitcapilanou.ca.
“Experience Ukraine! Weare open for tourism.”
That’s Ukraine’s real travelslogan. “Discovermusic,witness revolution and fall inlove” is probably better, butit may only be applicable toMarkMarczyk.
The Toronto-born violinistand leader of Lemon BucketOrkestra (imagine if Kool andthe Gang rocked shaggy hairand flugelhorns) owesmuchof his life to themountainouscountry on the Black Sea.
The first time he hitUkraine he was in his early 20s,and after falling in with somebuskers who realizedMarczykplayed violin as a kid, his lifechanged.
“They foundme a fiddle…and I started playing on thestreet with them and it justtook overmy life,” he said.
Marczyk went back toToronto to earn a creativewritingMFA at the Universityof Guelph-Humber, but much
like people with similar secretstend to find each other, heoncemore found himselfamongmusicians. There wasa player from France, anotherfromMexico, and all threeshared a yearning.
They wanted to playmusic
that was alive at the table orin a street, as spontaneous asa shout.
“That slowly grew into theLemon Bucket Orkestra,” hesays.
They’vemade good ontheir pledge to spontaneity,
blasting through klezmer tuneswhile waiting for the luggage toload on an Air Canada flight orcranking up the sousaphone ata Toronto railway station.
The band was garneringan international followingwhen Marczyk headed back
to Ukraine.He was there to work on
a film score but ended upchronicling – and participatingin – a revolution.
Teachers, pensioners,priests, rabbis, lawyers,students and a host of otherUkrainians disenchantedwith what they saw as a cor-rupt, pro-Russia governmenttook over the centre of Kiev,Ukraine’s capital city. Theytook over the cultural centre,the palace of art and city hall.
Marczyk had observed theOrange Revolution a decadeearlier and was skeptical aboutwhat he was seeing, at first.
“It had gotten to such apoint, that they said we can’tlive like this anymore.…We’regoing to be here. We’re goingto stand here and supporteach other.”
They weathered tem-peratures well below zero, ablizzard, as well as riot cops“who don’t know any better,”according toMarczyk.
One protester madesandwiches, another choppedwood, some served as nightsecurity to ensure “no drunkprovocateursmeandered intothe protest site.”
There was a no-alcoholrule, Marczyk explains.
The Lemon Bucket Orkestra, a “Balkan-Klezmer-Gypsy-Party-Punk-Super Band” from Toronto, celebrate life and culture in theirmusic. They play a Global Roots series gig at Capilano University on Thursday, April 14. PHOTO SUPPLIED

“I was totally shocked,especially being a Ukrainianmyself and knowing how hugedrinking culture is.”
He played a little musicduring the day, but mostlywhat Marczyk did was talk topeople. He wanted to find outwhat protesters were doing,examine how the revolutionwas bringing people togetherand explore the “beautifulparts of the protest.”
One of those beautifulparts wasmeeting his wife,whowould later collaboratewithMarczyk on a folk operainspired by the revolutionentitled Counting Sheep.
The revolution was suc-cessful, the president wasousted, and shortly afterward,Russia annexed Crimea andtroops stormed into thecountry.
“We had a war on ourhands.”
Marczyk left, but not for thereasons youmight expect. Heleft because he was supposedto record a new albumwithLemon Bucket Orkestra.
“I lasted one rehearsal.
By the end of the rehearsalI said to everybody, ‘Listen,I’m sorry, we’re going to haveto postpone recording thisalbum. I have to go back toUkraine,’” he recalls saying. “Idon’t knowwhat the purposeis or if there is a purpose, but Ifeel incredibly drawn to using,I guess, my skill set, usingmyability tomakemusic and todraw people together throughmusic, and alsomy ability totell a story.”
Protesters were donningmilitary fatigues to repelRussian forces when he wentback.
“Wewere travelling aroundthe country at that point, play-ing these songs of revolution.”
Despite his experience,Marczyk is noncommit-tal about being a politicalperformer, instead describingwhat he does as celebratinglife and culture throughmusic.
“Sometimes that celebra-tion gets sidetracked by otherthings,” he acknowledges.
There’s more to the story,but Marczyk is due for soundcheck before a show in Banff.
“I’m being called to thestage.”

To say Bayoush Mengesha iswell-travelled would be anunderstatement.
The Lower Lonsdale resident hasbeen to 18 different countries – sofar – and her globe-trotting waysinspired her to found Devi ArtsCollective in 2014.
“While I was travelling, I discov-ered that there’s so many talentedand amazing artisans of all types,”she says.
Devi Arts Collective is an ethicallifestyle brand that works with arti-sans from around the world, mostlywomen living in remote areas, andsells their textiles, gemstones, beads,jewelry, fashions and householditems in the North American market.
“Our goal is to support and tocollaborate with talented women andindividuals who might not be able tohave their art showcased on a globallevel otherwise,” says Mengesha.
She currently works with indi-viduals in Guatemala, Indonesia andIndia – all people and places shehas visited personally. A selectionof their products will be available atthe annual Nifty for Fifty sale April10 at Heritage Hall in Vancouver andeverything sold will be ethical, fairtrade and sustainable – a mandate ofthe social enterprise.
Devi Arts Collective includesweavers from Lake Atitlan, a Mayanvillage in the western highlandsof Guatemala; Tanglad Village,located on a small island east ofBali, Indonesia; Kolompok KaryaSari Warna Ulam in the northeasternhills of Bali; and Klung Kung, also inBali. From India, Mengesha sourcesethically cut stones from a family of
gem-cutters.“There’s no child labour and
everyone works in safe workingconditions.”
She incorporates these gem-stones into her own jewelry line,Bayoush Designs, which is part ofthe collective.
“My inspiration, I would say, isnature. Growing up on the WestCoast, it’s really easy to use thatto draw from as your inspiration,”Mengesha says of her jewelry, whichis also influenced by her Ethiopianheritage and things she sees in herworld travels.
“There’s a little bit of everythingthat’s important to me that goes intomy jewelry design.”
In addition to necklaces, earringsand custom creations, Mengeshaalso designs handbags that are sewnin Bali by a group of stay-at-homemoms.
“The women who sew the bagswork from home and they work insafe working conditions while they’reable to support their families.”
Another Lower Mainland jewelrydesigner, ShannonWyatt, as wellas Ibu Ayu, a Balinese woman whomakes mala prayer bead necklaces,are also members of Devi ArtsCollective.
Devi is the Sanskrit word fordivine mother or goddess and thegoal of the social enterprise is to sup-port and empower creative womenwhile connecting individuals andcommunities worldwide to produceethical and sustainable things.
“I’m just trying to support indi-viduals who have an amazing artisticability so they can continue doingwhat they love as artists and allow

Audrey’s dream, meanwhile,is sidelined by newborn HankWilliams Jr (who would go onto his own fame in the musicbusiness).
Thanks to a spinal condi-tion (diagnosed finally asspina bifida) and surgery,Hank’s addiction to painmeds and cocaine in snuff
bullets worsens. By thetime “Your Cheatin’ Heart”is released, Hank is under adoctor’s care and on “circusanimal” tranquilizers. Addthat to the drinking andspending some 100 out of 119days on the road, and Hank’searly death doesn’t come thatmuch as a surprise.
Hank Williams: TheBiography serves as the
basis of the film, written anddirected by Abraham. Hisfilm teases us with interestingfacts and asides that are leftunexplored, such as the realreason his father was com-mitted to a VA hospital whenHank was six, or more infoabout Hank’s alter ego, Lukethe Drifter. The scene whereHank more or less screws amovie deal because he won’t
take off his hat is one of themost interesting of the film.
“Everybody has a littledarkness in them,” Hank tellsa reporter, tellingly. Moredarkness and less blandvanilla would’ve made thebiopic about the man whodefined 20th century countrymusic and had 35 BillboardCountry top 10 hits, far morewatchable.

Committed to safety since 1953.
How feedback has resulted in a stronger, safer and better project:
• A $100 million investment in the West Coast Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC) for marinesafety enhancements.
• An increase in safety valves along the pipeline from 94 to 126.
• An increase in pipeline wall thickness in sensitive areas, such as urban locations and at river crossings.
• Routing of the pipeline to avoid 22 crossings at fish-inhabited rivers includingthe Fraser, upper North Thompson, Albreda, Coldwater and Coquihalla.
• Routing to avoid environmentally sensitive areas, such as Cheam Wetlands and threeBC Class A parks.
• Routing of the pipeline to minimize community impacts to the Westsyde neighbourhood in Kamloopsand the Westridge neighbourhood in Burnaby.
For more than four years, we’ve worked together withour neighbours and local communities to hear whatthey have to say about our proposed pipeline expansion.By listening closely and having an open dialogue,we’ve been able to create a stronger, safer and moreresponsive project. We are working to meet all therequirements of the regulators, as well as consultingwith communities, Indigenous people, governmentagencies and municipalities – and we’ll continue towork with them throughout development, constructionand operations. We know how critical it is to get thisright. Most importantly, we’re acting on what we hearwith significant changes to the Project.
“I feel strongly that by listening to people,we are making better project decisions.”- Lexa Hobenshield, External Relations Manager, Kinder Morgan Canada

really, of a lot of this kind of material,” says Pakasaar. “Often thenames change or the information that might have been with thisoriginally of course becomes something different when it’s moremass produced.”
In one display, starting with the original photograph, a lineupof First Nations chiefs is captured and titled “Indian Chiefs.” Theoriginal is followed by four other representations of the sameimage, each progressing to feature more colour and a closercrop. Pakasaar says that the indigenous leaders were on theirway to England to petition land rights, potlach laws and huntingissues in front of the Crown.
“So a very momentous occasion, a very significant occasion,then is turned into a postcard which served very different pur-poses. It’s commodified in a way, you have to wonder why thereare four different versions. Once it had that name on it, it wasstripped of its political import. I would say all postcards prob-ably were because they were so singular. So the context becamequite neutralized.”
Photographers were in demand in this booming era of change,contracted by ethnographers, surveyors and businesses, butsome of the images that emerged from this early period lend anelement of mystery behind their intended purpose. Pakasaar hasspent time delving into the vague inscriptions attached to eachphoto to try to discover their stories, however, for one sectionthe curators have deemed the “sublime,” themystery of themoreabstract images is left to intrigue the viewer.
“(What) we’re trying to bring out is invisibility or things thatare hard to see,” she says. “We’re looking mostly at documentaryphotographs, so they’re very depictive and yet at the same timethere are these vagaries like the aurora borealis…where thingsare not quite clear in terms of what exactly is being pictured.”
As the practice of photography becamemore commercial,people from all social levels began to pose for portraits showingtheir standing in a community and preserving memories in away that wasn’t previously possible. The collection of portraitswithin the exhibition take on an eerie andmagical presence asthe faces framed stare back at the viewers from a time wheneach slide held an air of prominence and worth.
“You could dress up for the camera, be what you wanted tobe and they were keepsakes,” she says. “The role of photographywas so important, not just the camera being a tool for substanti-ating all these colonial ambitions and projects, but also in termsof how people of all social means were able to, not just partici-pate, but were an integral part around the production of meaningaround photography.”

Consider Coca-Cola.With a recipe composed
of 21 secret ingredients, it isa known quantity that tastesthe same no matter whereyou order it. Leave aside theurban myths about its abilityto dissolve bone or whatnot,and Coca-Cola’s successis absolute; order a Coke
and you know what you’regetting. It’s an unqualifiedsuccess as is; rememberthe disaster of New Coke?Sometimes change isn’tgood.
Now consider a carcompany, forced by regula-tory pressure and customerexpectation to refresh andupdate their models everycouple of years. If you’vealready cranked out the
winning formula, then whatdo you do if you have tomess with success?
With the Tacoma, Toyotamust surely have foundthemselves facing just sucha question. Resale valuesare excellent. The fan baseloves it. Sales are strong. Butchange is required, so some-thing must be done.
Here’s the 2016 Tacoma,an update a long time
coming. Is it New Cokeall over again, or still thesame Tacoma Classic thatquenches many a mid-sizedtruck thirst?
DESIGNOn first blush: sorry, you
said this was the new ToyotaTacoma? Despite a bluff newgrille and updated tailgate,you’d be forgiven for think-ing Toyota just wrote “New
and Improved” on one cornerof their mid-sizer’s packagingand called it a day. A revolu-tion, the Tacoma is not.
But why would it be?Not only does Toyota asa company dislike radicalchange, neither would theircustomers enjoy a totaldeviation from the script.The Tacoma remains simple,
SturdyTacomagets a tweak
Toyota is a company of gradual changes, and the Tacoma is already popular, so there was no need to go wild with a 2016 redesign. The new design follows thesame recipe that has long given the Tacoma strong re-sale value. It is available at Jim Pattison Toyota in the Northshore Auto Mall. PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH

TESLA RACKS UP THERESERVATIONS
The Tesla Model S is agreat drive, but far too expen-sive for most people. As analternative to a BMW 5 Seriesor a Mercedes-Benz E-Class, itmakes a compelling argument.But what about the rest of us?
Well, the rest of us couldput down a fully refundablereservation on aModel 3,the new Tesla hatchback forthe regular Joes. At time ofwriting, reservations for theModel 3 are about to crest the300,000 mark, making the caran instant success. There’sjust one teensy-weensyproblem.
Like the Model X, with its“nobody says no to Elon” reargullwing doors (Tesla officiallycalls them falcon doors),the Model 3 is an example ofpromising the moon, and then

recognizable in silhouette, andslightly more butch looking thanits ancestors. As is pickup truck derigeur these days, you get a giant“Tacoma” script on the tailgate, butreally it’s not much more than asurface reworking.
ENVIRONMENTStep inside the Tacoma,
however, and previous ownerswill be impressed by the changesmade. After something like sevenyears without a major update, theTacoma’s cabin was rugged butdeeply aged, and about as sophis-ticated-looking as the plumbingdepartment at Home Depot.
Now it’s not dissimilar to theCamry’s country-music-lovin’cousin. This being a Limitedversion, leather clad seats anda sunroof were the icing on theTacoma cake, but the rest ofthe options were much bettersuited to modern life. The Entunetouchscreen infotainment systemis large, bright, quick, and comeswith easy-to-use knobs. The seatsare comfortable. There’s plenty ofstorage for cups and smartphones.Everything is sensible, if a little onthe tight side for a taller driver.
And never mind the sport truckpro-athlete image – if you’ve gotkids to haul along with you, thecrew-cab Tacoma makes for a sur-prisingly solid family car. Two child
seats bolted right in without muchwrestling, and the low transmis-sion tunnel made for extra space tocarry stuff. Kids don’t take up muchroom – it’s their stuff that’s theproblem. Throw a canopy on thisthing for bikes and boards and who-knows-what, and you just mighthave the alternative to the minivanevery crossover pretends to be.
PERFORMANCENew under the Tacoma’s hood is
a 3.5-litre V-6 that replaces the old4.0-litre six. I’m not saying the latterwas getting a bit dated, but you canfind references to it on the walls ofTutankhamun’s tomb. It’s just shortof predating agriculture.
The new 3.5-litre engine addsnot much in the way of torque at265 foot-pounds, and requires abit of stick to get power out of it.Rev it up and it’ll make a solid 278horsepower at 6,000 r.p.m., butthe six-speed automatic transmis-sion requires a good solid prod tounlock the power.
As this is a proper body-on-frame truck, you might expect theTacoma to exhibit some rougharound the edges road manners.True, there is a tendency to judderover offset bumps, but there’s sur-prising on-road competency here inspades. The steering ratio proveddecidedly un-truck-like on a wind-ing country back road, and the longwheelbase contributed to a nicelycontrolled highway drive.
If you’re a member of the Toyotafaithful, it’s about this time thatwe’ve got to ask why there’s no die-sel option for this truck. The usualexcuse is that a complex dieselengine, with its turbocharger andheavyweight construction, wouldadd extra cost to the truck, cost themarket would not bear.
Oh horse, um, feathers. TheTacoma is already an expensiveoption – this Limited versionstickers at $46K after freight – anda well-heeled customer wouldundoubtedly stump up for theadded hauling torque and betterfuel economy. While the V-6 is asolid performer that returns good
fuel economy, a little more low-endgrunt would make for a more relax-ing drive.
But having said that, the Tacomawe do get adheres to the provenrecipe with solid road manners andgood performance. A little light
Upgrade most noticeable inside cabin
An easy-to-use touchscreen infotainment system, comfortable seats and plenty of storage are all part of a majorupgrade to the Tacoma’s cabin that had gone many years without a refresh. PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH

delivering some of the moonat a much later date. Teslaitself is claiming that “hubris”is to blame for the Model X’sslow rollout: that too muchtechnology was built into thecar and slow parts suppliersare hampering deliveries.
So when ElonMusk saysthat the Model 3 will start ata cost of $35,000, will go 215miles (approximately 350kilometres) on a single charge,and run to 100 km/h in lessthan six seconds, a ratherlarge grain of salt should beconsumed. Mr. Musk is anambitious dude, and he’sperhaps telling you what he’dlike his company to be able todo. The truth will probably bea lot more down to Earth.
Best guess is that theModel 3 won’t actually startshowing up in reasonablenumbers until 2018 or beyond,and that it’ll cost quite a bitmore than anticipated. Thinkof it as an alternative to aBMW 335i xDrive, and you’reabout on the money. As thereservations are totally refund-able and require almost nocommitment, you can viewthem asmaking a case fordemand, but not necessar-ily being the same thing as aconfirmed pre-order.
There’s a lot of hype
swirling around Tesla, andthat’s a shame as the cars theyhave out are pretty impres-sive. The Model 3, when itfinally arrives, will probablybe pretty good too. But it’s stilljust going to be a car, not therevolution the Teslarati keepshouting about.
ASTON MARTIN PLANS TOUSE AMG MANUAL
If Tesla is the wave of thefuture, then let’s talk about theonly way to get a blast fromthe past: the manual transmis-sion. Manuals are going theway of the dinosaur, but withthe speed of a slow extinctionrather than a meteor strike.They’ll be around for a fewyears yet, especially for bou-tique brands and enthusiastcustomers.
For AstonMartin, that’s adouble whammy. It’s not juststyle that differentiates thecompany, it’s the ability to getwhat you want (for a price).Now, if you want a hand-builttwin-turbocharged V-8 matedto a six-speed gearbox, AstonMartin is going to be the onlygame in town.
The AMG and Astonpartnership has been comingfor a while now, and hasn’tpleased every purist. Aston’sV-12s might not be as efficientor powerful as the biturboversions available from
Mercedes-Benz, but they’vegot plenty of character. We’llbe sad to see them go.
However, the 500 horse-power, 4.0-litre twin-turboV-8 fromMercedes-AMG isjust such a firecracker of anengine, how could you not getexcited about it stuffed into alithe little Vantage? It’s still theBattle of Britain, just now theSpitfire and the Messerschmitthave crashed into each other.
IIHS TAKES AIM AT LOUSYHEADLIGHTS
Having trouble seeing atnight? According to a recentstudy, the problemmight liewith your car’s headlights.Even among luxury automak-ers, poorly aimed headlightsare commonplace, with manyvehicles rated marginal orpoor.
This despite the profusionof LED lighting technologiescontinually being trumpetedby various marketing depart-ments. Sure they look cool, butLEDs aren’t a panacea. It takesproper aiming of the beams, aswell as enough lumens to lightthe way.
Vehicles were evaluatedat the IIHS research centre inRuckersville, Va. Working atnight, engineers used lightdetection devices to see howthe cars handled sharp andgradual turns.
The results were surpris-ing, rating the Prius V as best,while almost everything elsedid poorly. Even a BMW 3Series, once considered tohave among the best head-lights out there, fell down to amarginal rating.
While manufacturers workto develop new technology,many lighting issues could befixed with a simple headlightaiming. Consider having yourcar checked.
BMW Z4REPLACEMENTTESTS IN ARCTIC
The Z3 begat the Z4 begatthe Z5. That’s the rumouranyway, with a new soft-topBMW convertible spottedhooning around in the snowin northern Sweden. And yes,BMW’s two-seat roadster isgoing back to a soft convert-ible top to help keep downboth weight and complexity.
The really interesting thingabout the Z5 is its co-parent-age. Unofficially, BMW andToyota are perhaps workingtogether on this car, with thelatter providing developmentmoney in the manner of theSubaru-Toyota partnershipthat came up with the FR-Sand BRZ.
You knowwhat thatmeans? Z5 begat Supra. Keepan eye [email protected]

off-roading didn’t phase itone bit, and even parking itaround town became secondnature after a day or so. Youcan get more power, morehauling, and more space, buteverything that made theTacoma popular in the firstplace is here again.
FEATURESBasic Tacomas come
with a 2.7-litre four-cylinderengine and not much in theway of options. Call it deliv-ery truck spec, just like theyellow machine from the firstToy Story movie.
However, move up tothe Limited and TRD trimsand you start getting a hostof niceties. As-equipped,my tester had everythingfrom navigation to satelliteradio and a backup cam-era. Opt for the TRD trim ifyou’re intending to use yourTacoma for heavy duty, butif you’re a city slicker whooccasionally makes foraysinto the wilderness, theLimited is by no means barebones.
Official fuel economyfigures improved signifi-cantly with the introductionof the 3.5-litre, rating at 12(litres/100 kilometres) on thehighway and 10 in the city.Real world figures hit themixed-mileage rating of 11,very livable in these days ofinexpensive fuel.
GREEN LIGHTUseful V-6 power; decent
cabin space; outstand-ing resale value; pleasing
on-road manners and goodrough terrain capability.
STOP SIGNNo diesel option, even for
those willing to pay more;cabin is cramped for tallerdrivers; very conservativestyling changes.
THE CHECKERED FLAGEveryone’s favourite
sport truck continues tothrive using a simple, tried-and-tested recipe.
CompetitionCHEVROLET COLORADO($23,115)
With the Nissan Frontieressentially unchanged overa decade, it’s up to GeneralMotors to take the fight toToyota. Their mid-sizedpickup trucks, the Coloradoand Canyon twins, aresurprisingly daring, offeringplenty of options and havingmuch of the curb presence ofthe larger Silverado.
And, if you like, GM willhappily sell you a diesel. It’sa stump-puller of a lump,with 181 h.p. and 369 foot-pounds of torque. For thosewho like to get out and playin the wild, the GM has allthe capability of the Toyotaand then some, with a lowercost of entry.
