A Burnaby seniors advocate is con-cerned about a new funding model thatcould leave homeless seniors out on thestreets for months before they are eligiblefor help.

ElsieDean, anactivememberofVoicesofBurnaby Seniors, is raising questions aboutthe federal governments new HousingFirst funding model, which focuses fund-ing on people who are homeless for sixmonths or more. That leaves less fundingavailable for seniors who are homeless forthe first time.

Thats a little ridiculous. How manydays do they have to be on the street beforethere could be funding for them? Deanasked.

The Housing First funding model ismeant to help the chronically homeless,who often have mental illnesses and addic-tions and can cost the government moremoney through increased demand onsocial services. Housing First is a modelthats proven to work, according to a recentstudy by the Mental Health Commission ofCanada, but since the funding is comingout of the regular pool for homelessnessprograms, theres less money available forseniors who may be facing life on thestreets for the first time.

Voices of Burnaby Seniors, a commu-nity-based planning table that addressesseniors issues, is going to look into home-lessness and seniors, which Dean said is agrowing problem in Burnaby. Dean point-ed to Metrotown apartments being torndown to make way for new highrises orremodelled, while seniors are moving out,no longer able to afford rent. According toDean, many seniors live on annual incomesof about $20,000 to $30,000.

The whole thing is exploding and cre-ating more homelessness. They are verystable homes some people have been livingin for many years, and they cant afford tolive there anymore, she said. So wheredo they go? Theres very few low-costhousing, because the government hasntbuilt any in 10, 15 years, not in the senseas they used to, and Burnaby doesnthave any shelters. Burnaby council objectsto getting land for shelters, rather than

housing. Its a really bad situation. Thefederal government is not putting up anymoney for building affordable housing, Iunderstand.

Dean would like to see programs thatoffer seniors stable, permanent housing.

In neighbouring New Westminster,Brian Dodd, the interim executive directorat Seniors Services Society, is also sound-ing the alarm over the new Housing Firstfunding model.

We foresee seniors and homelessnessbecoming a big issue in 2015, Dodd toldthe NOW. The majority of seniors we aredealing with are first-time homeless, so thefunding and the programs are not availablefor us to assist them in moving forward.Im calling it a crisis.

Seniors Services Society is the only

group that specifically helps seniors (55or older) throughout the Lower Mainland,including Burnaby, who are homeless or atrisk of homelessness. According to Dodd,about 80 per cent of the organizationsclients from the past year would not meetthe new Housing First criteria, becausethey are homeless for the first time. Doddis concerned seniors will have to stay outon the streets for six months before theyqualify for help.

Sixty-five per cent of the governmentsannual $8.2 million in funding for home-lessness in Metro Vancouver is earmarkedfor Housing First, meaning the moneygoes to helping people who are chronicallyor episodically homeless. Organizationsworking with the homeless were giventill April 2015 to align with the new

Housing First funding criteria. The gov-ernment defines chronically homeless aspeople with mental illnesses or addictionswho have been homeless for six months ormore, while episodically means peoplewho have been homeless three times in thepast year.

To make matters worse, Dodd says thenumber of homeless seniors is increasing asthe baby-boomer generation ages. The 2008Metro Vancouver Homeless Count, found212 homeless seniors. In 2011, that numberrose to 268, and then in 2014 hit 371.

We know this is a gross undercount,because there are a lot of people in thecategory we call hidden homeless, Doddsaid.

Unhappy: Riverside residents GinoDOnofrio and KenWright are upset the city isnt moving fast enough to shut down amedical marijuanaproduction facility on Thorne Avenue.

Neighbours fed upwith grow-op

Riverside residents are demanding the citytake immediate action and shut down amedicalmarijuana grow-op in their neighbourhood.

In 2013, when a home in the 6000 block ofThorne Avenue was sold, residents along thesmall block, Tucked between Marine Way andMarine Drive, took notice. While the propertywas quiet for some time, by November, thewheels were already in motion for the con-struction of a marijuana production facility, theNOW has learned.

According to City of Burnaby records, staffapproved a building permit for a $75,000 farmbuilding on the property. The permit states thebuilding must comply with the National FarmBuilding Code of Canada, established in 1995.

But the farm building that started to takeshape in February 2014 didnt quite fit whatneighbours believed a farm building shouldlook like.

Gino DOnofrio lives next door and had hissuspicions from the get-go.

First of all, the farm building takes upnearly the entire back portion of the lot, whichis skinnier than most in the area, measuringonly about 15.5 metres wide by 82 metres long,according to B.C. Assessment.

Second, the building looks more like anindustrial shed than a farm building. Its madeentirely of metal, along the roof there are sev-eral exhaust pipes and mushroom vents, andthere are no windows.

But what really sparked DOnofrios con-cern was when an unusually high chain-linkfence was erected around the entire prop-erty, six surveillance cameras were installedon different points of the residence, and a fieryGerman shepherd was brought in to patrol thefront gate.

DOnofrio contacted the City of Burnaby.Staff told him the residents were growing

bonsai trees and orchids (the NOW was alsotold this initially), but DOnofrio didnt believethat. He visited a nearby orchid farm and couldtell right away that whatever his neighbourswere growing, it wasnt orchids.

DOnofrio has many concerns about themedical marijuana grow-op, including the

environmental impact of the run-off from thefacility, his loss of privacy thanks to the sur-veillance cameras, the pungent smell that waftsthrough the area, neighbourhood safety andthe devaluation of surrounding properties.

(The city) should get them to dismantlethe thing completely and get it out of the way.That way there wont be anymore temptationfor them to grow, he said. Things should goback to normal.

But it wont be that easy.Burnaby RCMP confirmed it has received

complaints about the property and is continu-ing to investigate the matter.

We are also working in partnership withthe City of Burnaby to address issues at theresidence, Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis told theNOW.

At this time, criminal charges are unlikelyunless police determine federal statutes havebeen broken or something criminal is or hastaken place, Buis added.

But by growing medical marijuana, theproperty owner has contravened city bylaws,according to Clayton Hall, manager of licens-ing and regulatory bylaws with the city.

It only took a 10-seconddiscussion for Tyee reporterDavid Ball and his friendsto decide they should stopand help the driver of afuel tanker truck that hadflipped on Highway 1 earlyWednesday morning.

Ball andtwofriendsweredriving along Highway 1around 12:30 a.m. when thecars ahead of them startedto slow down, stoppingsuddenly. Ball didnt seethe crash, but as he and hisfriends approached, theycould see the aftermath.A fuel tanker truck thathad been travelling east-bound near the WillingdonAvenue exit was on its side,straddling the median andlying in the westboundlanes.

All I saw was a lot ofcars stopped, a truck fac-ing the wrong way anda whole bunch of peoplemilling around on the high-waywith cars still whizzingby them, he recalled.

Ball and his friendsjumped into action. Theyapproached the truck,where others who hadstoppedwere gathered, andone of his friends climbedon top of the cab to speakwith the driver still inside.

Ball said the driversmain concern was call-ing his wife, so when hedclimbed out of the cab andjumped down (it was quitethe jump, according to Ball,who helped catch the driv-er), Balls friend gave himher cellphone to use.

Oncethetruckdriverwasout of the cab, Ball and theothers went about direct-ing traffic and explaining todrivers they needed to stayaway until the diesel couldbe cleaned up.

The median was satu-rated in diesel, it was justso wet. Everything wassprayed with diesel andwe crossed maybe 40 yardsaway from the truck, so the

truck had slid, obviously,and there was a big smearacross the left lane of theroad, he said.

Using the flashlight onhis iPhone, Ball helpeddirect motorists until emer-gency crews,i n c l u d i n gBurnaby fire-fighters,arrivedon scene about10 minuteslater.

The onethought thatsjust runningthrough mymind still isjust how luckyeverybody wasall around,Ball said.

Everyone was help-ing; it was a very collectiveeffort and quite inspiringhow everyone jumped intoaction and cleared the areaand started directing trafficand helping the first aid(crews), he added.

According to the RCMP,the tanker truck allegedlyrear-ended a vehicle, caus-ing the truck to slide alongthe concrete median andflip over, spilling about 100litres of diesel on the road.Highway 1 was closed inboth directions betweenKensington and BoundaryRoad for about seven hourswhile crews cleared thescene.

The truck driver sus-

tained only minor cutsto his hand and the otherdriver was uninjured, stat-ed a media release fromRCMP.

The fuel tanker truckwas smaller than most and

only about halffull carryingabout 10,000litres of diesel,according toBurnaby assis-tant fire chiefBryan Kirk.

Crews werequick to con-tain the spill,preventing anydiesel fromseeping intonearby drains

and contaminating thestreams, Kirk added.

They protected thestorm drains and put somedikes up and barricadesand basically just sort ofbabysat it until the truckwas uprighted this morn-ing, he said Wednesday.

Once the truck was

upright, crewswent toworkcleaning up the remainingdiesel. As a precaution, thetruck itself was drainedprior to lifting it upright,Kirk added.

Once they move it, itsvulnerable to maybe com-ing apart so (crews) didntwant to have 10,000 litreson the ground, he said.Thats why it took likeeight hours. They were justbeing super cautious.

The highway wasreopened around 8 a.m.

Mounties are now inves-tigating what caused thecrash. Neither the fog northe weather are believedto be contributing factorsat this time, the releaseadded.

For Ball, its somethinghe wont soon forget.

In retrospect, it wasexciting and mostly inspir-ing to see people take con-trol of the situation andtake a very communaleffort to fixing it and help-ing people, he said.

It was a show of force Tuesday afternoonwhen three fire trucks and the Burnaby firecommand vehicle responded to a fire atUniverCity in what turned out to be just aburning pot on a stove.

Around 12:30 p.m. firefighters received acall to a two-alarm blaze at 9232 UniversityDr. at Simon Frasers UniverCity develop-ment. In anticipation of a large fire, the firedepartment sent out three fire trucks and acommand vehicle. Upon arrival, however,firefighters quickly determined it was onlya minor fire, assistant chief Bryan Kirk toldthe NOW.

It was just a cooking incident, a pot onthe stove our most common type of call,Kirk said.

In a panic, the resident had locked him-self on his balcony and crews had to rescuehim using the ladder, Kirk said.

The unit sustained minimal damage.The dense cluster of condos and town-

houses proved to be tricky to navigate forthe large trucks, Kirk admitted, but notedthat if there had been a big fire anyoneparked in a fire lane would have beenmoved.

All you need is one person to be negli-gent, park in the middle of where we needto get to, he said. We wouldnt thinktwice about breaking the window and roll-ing it down the hill. Weve got to do whatweve got to do.

Canada is in the marketfor a new fighter jet, butweve been kicking thetires for quite a while now.

You might remember backin 2012, when the governmentwas all hot and bothered overthe F-35, the so-called fifthgeneration fighter that theU.S. has been pushing on all itsallies for the past decade or so.Its a stealth aircraft! It can takeoff from carriers! It can take offvertically! It can bomb your ene-mies in the morning and dog-fight with them in the afternoon!

Im surprised the F-35 isntadvertising between Saturdaymorning cartoons, with tow-headed kids playing with mod-els of them, demonstrating theirLight Up Action and RealisticMissile-Launching Sound!

The government backedaway from the F-35 as the priceclimbed toward the stratosphere,while at the same time ever-more disturbing reports keptcoming out about the planessuspected mechanical issues.

So now we dont know exact-ly what Canadas next-genera-

tion fighter will be. Maybe it willbe a version of the F-35, if theengineers can work out the bugs.Maybe itll be a competing simi-lar-but-much-cheaper plane.

Or maybe, if everyoneshuffles their feet long enough,we wont get a fighter aircraft.Because, really, Canada doesntneed fighter jets.

Oh, a few people just gotred-faced and prepared to throwthe paper across the room! Nottoo many, but in some circles,suggesting Canada doesnt needfighter jets is as foolish as sug-gesting that the Avro Arrowwasnt really that worthwhile,either.

I should probably stop dig-ging myself deeper and get tothe point.

The last time a Canadian pilotgot into a dogfight was duringthe Korean War. Just about thelast time anyone got into a dog-fight worthy of the name wasduring the Gulf War, and thosefights tended to be very, verybrief. Remember how Iraq hadthe fourth largest air force in theworld? After two days they hadthe largest collection of rapidlydisassembled aircraft parts in theworld.

Canada last upgraded itsfighter aircraft decades ago.There is no question that weneed something.

But what do we need? Whoare we going to fight with our

Terrorists are merely the ultimate bulliesSome people will see the Charlie

Hebdo shooting as a question of free-dom of religion. But its not really that,although there is a bit of it at play.

Others will try to frame the atroci-ties committed in Paris in thename of religion as a questionof freedom of speech issue.But its not really that, either,although that, too, is part of it.

Perhaps thinking of it as a humanrights issue makes sense, but still reallyonly in a roundabout way, in that everyhuman being has or at least should have

the right to live a full and decent life.Because that is what the religious nuts

seem to miss every time they break outtheir guns and bombs in their unalterableright to impose their beliefs on others.

They have a right to practisetheir religious rituals and asserttheir religious beliefs. But sodid the other guy you know the guy with the bullet in his

head, or with his legs and arms blownoff.

In virtually every case, religion issupposed to be a connection between

humanity and a kind and loving god orwhatever stands for god, depending onthe organized belief system were dealingwith.

Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu,Confucianist, Jainist, Wiccan you namethe organized religion, and the bottomline is always quite similar: you revereyour deity by being good to each other.

How does that ever, in any sane mind,translate into suicide bombings andbeheadings and murders?

The bottom line is that the shooting inParis is just another example of bullying.

We humans are good at it. We see iton the internet, especially in the rancourthat enshrouds much of social mediawhen the holier than thou presume guiltany time a supposedly antisocial inci-dent is brought to light. We see it in roadrage when some jerk feels threatened byanother drivers presumed mistake. Wesee it on school grounds and in work-places. Our politicians are adept at thepractice.

And when it gets extreme, bullets fly.Terrorists are just the ultimate bullies.

They deserve no more respect than that.

Are fighter jetsnow obsolete?

Site C dam is a no-brainerDear Editor:

I dont understand what all the fuss is about theSite C dam.

Its been part of the energy plan for B.C. for morethan half a century, and there are already two damson the Peace River.

These other two dams have been powering B.C.for decades with the cleanest energy possible. Site Cwill take optimal advantage of the massive amountof water stored upstream by the Bennett Dam, reus-ing that water a third time to generate enough cleanelectricity to power 450,000 homes per year beforeflowing out to sea.

Site C will also be built with the most up-to-date

21st-century energy and environmental technology,and the project has been studied and reviewed todeath. Enough is enough. Building the much-neededSite C dam is a no-brainer, so lets get on with it.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

whohas lived around theMetroVancouverarea for many years, I can say that 20 yearsago there was no problem as there is now.

This situation is not acceptable. I dontbuy all the excuses the taxi companies givein regard to licensing. I think it is sheergreed.

Recently a company called Uber wasgoing to provide some sort of transporta-tion service, of course all the taxi compa-nies where crying foul. To me, I feel theyhave some monopoly going on and ofcourse they dont want competition.

They claim that these taxi drivers havesome kind of training. Well, I saw anexample of that training the other day at

a shopping mall where an elderly ladywaited for her cab.

When it approached her, she was push-ing a walker full of groceries and thedriver just sat on his behind while shestruggled to open her door. He finally gotout and helped a bit.

We do not want to encourage drinkingand driving, but we do nothing to discour-age it either.

TransLink is hopeless also, as it doesnot run all night. It would pay to havemore transportation on the roads all overMetro Vancouver as it would also benefitbusiness, such as bars in restaurants.

So, if the taxi companies cannot supplyreasonable transportation service, then Isay bring on Uber.

new hypothetical jets?The obvious answers

that every armchairmilitary expert loves areRussia and China.

Those both seem fairlyunlikely. China is busywith their plan in whichthey try to sell everythingever made to every othercountry. You dont go towar with your customers,and were all customers.

Russia has militarymight, its more aggres-sive, and its more desper-ate. But their recent MOhas been snatching up bitsof land by sending in goon

squads to back up localthugs. If were attackedby Russia, it will take theform of a bunch of guysin olive drab wanderinginto northern Alberta andattempting to annex theWest Edmonton Mall forthe Republic of Athabaska.

What do we need? Ihave no idea.

Drones are really cheapand getting better all thetime, and when they crash,theres no funeral.

Maybe we just needdurable long-range bomb-ers, since we mostly seemto be bombing peoplein the Middle East these

days.What I do know is that

war is changing, technol-ogy is changing, and thatevery military technologyever invented was usedright up to the point whereit was utterly worthless.

Thats why we saw cav-alry officers with swordscharge machine guns inthe First World War.

We need to think aboutwhether fighter jets aremodern day militaryhorses.

A Burnaby teenager is in ChildrensHospital after being hit by a vehicle onWillingdon Avenue Monday morning.

The 14-year-old girl was crossing mid-block around 8:15 a.m. when an oncomingcar, travelling on Willingdon Avenue nearWilliam Street, struck her, according toBurnaby RCMP Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis.

The teen suffered serious injuries toher head and upper body and was takento Royal Columbian Hospital in seriouscondition. She has since been transferredto B.C. Childrens Hospital in Vancouver,Buis said.

The driver of the vehicle that hit thegirl remained at the scene and is cooper-ating with investigators. Burnaby RCMPbelieves low visibility could have been afactor in the collision.

We dont know what caused it. Werelooking into the possibility that theycrossed the road without looking. Wedont believe that alcohol or speed were afactor, Buis said.

TheNOW contacted the Burnaby RCMPfor an update on the pedestrians condi-tion but calls were not returned by pressdeadlines.

Hall confirmed the property is being usedto grow medical marijuana, contraveningthe zoning bylaw.

Hall said the next step is enforcementaction.

We would go forward usually witheither verbal or written confirmation tothe property owner, outlining and identi-fying the contraventions are taking place,identify the zoning and whats allowed onthe property and whats not allowed, andgive them the opportunity to bring theproperty in compliance, he said.

The property is zoned A2, a small hold-ings district, and allows for most agricul-ture uses, including farming, gardening,orchard or nursery cultivation, and green-houses. Growing medical marijuana is nota permitted use, and the city is handlingthis case as it would any other, Hall said.

Its a property misuse, and thingsdont always happen as quickly as wedlike them to, but like I said, our No. 1 thingis voluntary compliance, and so we alwaysgive the property owner the opportunityto bring the property in compliance, hesaid.

If the property owner doesnt make

the necessary changes, the city will senda second letter, likely threatening bylawenforcement action, and if he or she stilldoesnt comply with the citys orders, staffwill forward the case to either an in-houseor third-party lawyer, Hall added.

This process, however, is too slow forDOnofrio. He and his neighbours wantthe city to take immediate action, he toldthe NOW.

If the City of Burnaby doesnt actquickly and decisively on this issue, orif it sweeps it under the carpet, it will bedefined morally bankrupt by the residentsof this area, DOnofrio said. Its integritywill be tarnished and severely compro-mised.

The NOW made several attempts atcontacting the property owner and tenantsat the centre of this issue but never heardback.

A request for information under theFreedom of Information and Protectionof Privacy Act was sent to the City ofBurnaby and is due on Jan. 13.

Vancouver filmmak-ers Zack Embree,Devyn Brugge andJack Lall have been onthe frontlines of the fightagainst Kinder Morganspipeline expansion, captur-ing all the action on cam-era for an upcoming 22-minute film called DirectlyAffected. Embree will beat Burnabys SFU campuson Wednesday, Jan. 14for a screening of the filmat 7 p.m. in the ImagesTheatre. There will also bea panel discussion featur-ing Andrew Weaver, MarkJaccard, Lynne Quarmbyand Burnaby ResidentsOpposing Kinder MorganExpansion.

Jennifer Moreau: What

inspired you to take on thisproject?

Zack Embree: For thelast few years, I have beenchronicling a growingmovement that is con-cerned about the impactsof climate change and the

fossil fuel industry oncommunities, the economyand the environment. TheKinder Morgan pipelineexpansion proposal is aperfect example of theseconcerns.

JM: The film takes anoppositional stance againstKinder Morgans pipelineproject. Why?

ZE: On a local level,this project representsminuscule benefit andcatastrophic risk for theB.C. economy and envi-ronment. On a nationallevel, we can see from therecent downturn in oilprices that hinging ournational economy on avolatile resource like oil isrisky business. And on aplanetary level, Canadasreputation is becomingtarnished with our lack ofleadership when it comesto responding responsiblyto the realities of climatechange.

JM: Can you give us someprominent names featured inthe film?

ZE: The film featuressome incredible interviewswith many prominentlocal people: BurnabyMayor Derek Corrigan,Vancouver Mayor GregorRobertson, MP KennedyStewart, economist Robyn

Allan, SFU professor MarkJaccard, UBC professorRashid Sumaila, Burnabyresident Mary Hatch andSFU professor LynneQuarmby.

JM: What are someobstacles you are facing whilemaking the film? Youvementioned some people wonttalk to you.

ZE: One obstacle hasbeen our lack of resourcesto respond to the over-whelming interest frompeople who want to con-tribute their story to thisfilm. Another obstacle hasbeen in finding pro-pipe-line perspectives to appearin the film. Our team hasrepeatedly contacted bothKinder Morgan and theNational Energy Boardwith interview requests;each time our requestshave been declined.

JM: You were filming onBurnaby Mountain duringan intense and emotional10-day standoff with KinderMorgan and police. Whatwas the most powerful scenefor you?

ZE: It would have to bethe day that Grand ChiefStewart Phillip and AmyGeorge of Tsleil-WaututhFirst Nation hiked downthe steep and muddy trailto cross the police line at

Kinder Morgans bore holesite on the west side ofthe mountain. For manypeople, it was galling tosee tax dollars paying fora massive RCMP deploy-ment to protect the inter-ests of a Texas-based oilcompany. However, on theday Grand Chief StewartPhillip and Amy Georgecrossed the line, there wasa fierce humanity anddeep respect on display; itemerged on both sides ofthe line. It was really pow-

erful to be there.JM: What do you hope

the audience takes away fromyour film?

ZE: I would like peopleto talk more about thisissue. Write letters to theeditor, to your MP, talkto your neighbours andget connected with peoplewho are taking action.

A year ago, this projectwas considered a surebet by government andindustry, and today its onincreasingly shaky ground.

I think that our com-munity and Canada cando better than exploit thisdangerous form of energy.

There is no good reasonto risk the health of oureconomy, environmentand future for a handful ofjobs, a pittance in tax roy-alties and the short-termprofits of a multibillion-dollar energy giant.

For updates on the projectand a related web series,search for Directly Affectedon Facebook.

The coffers of a non-profit group that helps kidswho wouldnt normally beable to participate in orga-nized sports just got a boostthanks to Operation RedNose.

The safe ride homeprogram, which providesrides by donation to peo-ple whove had too muchto drink or are too tiredto drive home during theholiday season, collectedabout $5,300 more than lastyear during its 2014 holi-day campaign, according toa media release from theorganization.

This year, volunteerswith the program, whichservices Burnaby as well asNew Westminster and theTri-Cities, collected $32,940in donations compared to$27,600 in 2013. Thats anincrease of 19 per cent, andorganizers couldnt bemorepleased, the release stated.

I think theres betterawareness of the program,how it works and that thedonations go to KidSport,program coordinator ChrisWilson said in the release.The community has beenvery supportive of KidSportover the years, sowhen they

get a chance to support it,theyre pretty generous. Wealso provided rides for anumber of Christmas par-ties and many of the com-panies were very generous,too.

With sponsors coveringOperation Red Noses oper-ating costs, all the moneydonated will go directlyto KidSport chapters inBurnaby, NewWest and theTri-Cities, allowing about150 kids in need the chanceto play organized sports thisseason, the release stated.

We had great sup-port from Metropolis atMetrotown and the HardRock Casino Vancouver, so

all our costs and more werecovered by sponsorship.This ensures that 100 percent of client donations goto KidSport,Wilson said inthe release.

Volunteers provided saferides home every weekendleading up to Christmas,from Nov. 28 to Christmasand including New YearsEve, the programs busi-est night. During that time,more than 1,000 rides weregiven up from 936 in 2013,according to the release.

On New Years Eve,more than 100 volunteersturned out for the busynight and 180 rides weregiven, the release added.

PerformanceWith ever-tightening fueleconomy standards, last yearLand Rover replaced theLR4s 5.0-litre V8 with asupercharged 3.0-litre V6.Power is still respectableat 340 hp and 332 lb-ftof torque, but efciencyhas been improved to14.3L/100km combined.

Aiding that improvementis the new ZF eight-speedautomatic transmission andstandard Intelligent Stop/Startsystem.

Already equipped with Land Roversrotary gear selector and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, the LR4 is now available withAdaptive Cruise Control to make driving easier. Thissystemmaintains a consistent gap between the LR4 andthe vehicle ahead when the adaptive cruise is engaged.

While features like cruise control and paddle shifterscreate a more relaxed motorway experience, the LR4 isstill the leader when it comes to mountainous driving.Land Rover offers the choice of a newer single-speedtransfer box, or a twin-speed with high and low rangesto tackle the most demanding off-road conditions.

The adjustable four-corner air suspension can be optimizedto comfortably conquer any terrain bymerely turninga dial. Hill Descent Control allows even novice off-roaddrivers to easily traverse themost demanding trials byholding a slow and steady speed down steep grades.

I should point out though; the LR4s top-heavy designmakes it lean in corners when driven fast around turns.However, it does have a comparatively tight turning circle,which is nice for navigating both trails and parking lots.

EnvironmentBeing an upscale SUV, the LR4 boasts high qualitymaterials and the intuitive and clearly labelled controlsprovide a nice tactile feel.

The cabin is roomy, and withits stadium seating, the LR4allows each passenger a goodview of the outside world. Thelarge windows, especially thepanoramic glass roof, createan airy feeling. This open-airydesign is still unique to LR4.

The LR4 comes standard withve seats, but an optional thirdrow expands capacity to seven.The legroom in the third row istight, however, so its best suitedfor children.

Additions of the advancedinfotainment system furtherimprove the in-car experience.Land Rover InControl Appscompliment the existing systemand brings the convenience,

Go Anywherein Comfort

Land RoverLR4

familiarity and original look andfeel of compatible smartphoneapps into the LR4.

Developed with some of theworlds leading app creators,InControl Apps offer servicessuch as satellite-navigation,media streaming, internetradio and location services.Of course, it also provideseasy access to the phonescontacts, calendar andmusiclibrary.

Many compatible apps already exist,and the range is continually expanding

withnewcontent becomingavailableevery time the appupdates.

FeaturesStarting prices for the 2015 Land Rover LR4 range from$59,990 to $72,990.

Standard equipment includes heated front seats, heatedleather steering wheel, heated windshield, seven-inchcolour touchscreen, and Bluetooth phone connectivity.

Additional features, available as options or on highertrims, include passive keyless entry, rear climate control,front and rear parking aids, rearview camera, and HDDnavigation.

Fuel efciency numbers (L/100km) in the base modelare 16.2 city, 12.1 highway and 14.3 combined.

Thumbs UpThe LR4 is a truly off-roader in every sense. Its airsuspension is compliant and comfortable on thehighway, yet capable of crawling over rocks and hills.

Thumbs DownWhile the LR4 is immensely versatile and luxurious, itis far from the most efcient SUV on the market. Itsbeginning to show its age against newer, modernizedSUVs from its competition.

The Bottom LineIf you want a traditional body-on-frame design thatwont take a backseat to any challenging road condition,look no further than the Land Rover LR4.

CompetitorsPorsche CayenneIf you want mammoth performance, yet need somethingpractical, the Porsche Cayenne has a model to suit yourneeds. The Cayenne is the pioneer of the sport crossoversegment and shows no signs of slowing down.

Audi Q7The Q7 is an imposing SUV. It boasts a high drivingposition, providing a commanding view of the road.There is an all-newmodel coming out later this yearwhich will make the Q7 a top competitor for best-in-class.

BMW X5The BMW X5 is a great looking SUV inside and out, andoffers a level of renement that rivals many vehiclespriced much higher. The previous generation X5 didntgarner the highest reliability ratings, but the overall feelis still luxurious and the ride and handling is superb.

todaysdriveYour journey starts here.

The Land Rover LR4 has earned a reputationas the ultimate all-purpose vehicle for manyyears, thanks to its go-anywhere capability.

The LR4, known as the Discovery in somemarkets, has sold over 1,100,000 units andwon 219 international awards since itsintroduction in 1989. This illustrates the Land

Rovers tremendous capability and versatility.

Able to handle any terrain on the Earth, the LR4 is atrue seven-seater and can be arranged in a variety ofcongurations to carry an assortment of cargo.

Land Rover is celebrating 25 years of the Discovery; tocommemorate, they have released new special featureswhich further heighten the level of luxury.

DesignThe LR4 uses body-on-frame construction which givesit the extra toughness often missing in todays SUVsthat are actually more like a tall wagon. This kind ofdesign normally leads to a bouncy ride, but Land Rovertuned the underpinnings to also deliver smooth on-road behaviour thats second to none in this class.

The 2015 LR4 retains Land Rovers classic squared-offshape - this serves as a reminder to its utilitarian,rugged roots.

Thats not to say that Land Rover hasnt softened thelook over time. This year, the LR4 has sophisticated newheadlights and a smooth front bumper design. The two-piece asymmetric tailgate is both distinctive and useful,and the panoramic glass roof is pure luxury. Overall, thelook is very upscale and the car has agedwell.

The base model is luxurious inside, but the top-of-the-range model is superb from any seating position. Thereis also no shortage of options and accessories to outta LR4 to your exact preference.

The Land Rover is available in three trim levels base,HSE and HSE LUX. The HSE LUX now comes standardwith Windsor Leather seats.
