Court rejects public trustee scammer’s appeal Jane Seyd

jseyd@nsnews.com

A panel of appeal court judges has rejected the appeal of a man sentenced to six years in jail for scamming elderly clients out of more than a million dollars while he was supposed to be taking care of their financial affairs.

On Tuesday, the B.C. Court of Appeal rejected Bryan Tickell’s sentence appeal, saying nothing had convinced the court Tickell’s six-year jail term was too long.

“I am not persuaded that the length of sentence was excessive in the circumstances,” wrote Madam Justice Pamela Kirkpatrick.

“These offences were, as the sentencing judge found, ‘profoundly dishonest and manipulative.’

“Mr. Tickell embarked on a devious scheme to defraud one of the most vulnerable segments of society and abused his position of trust to effect his objective. In doing so, he harmed both his victims and his employer, whose very core rests on trust and integrity, values which he had sworn to uphold.”

Tickell, 31, a former caseworker with the Office of the Public Trustee, was handed the jail sentence a year ago by Judge Tony Dohm of the North Vancouver provincial court after pleading guilty to fraud, breach of trust and forgery.

WV jewelry thief shooter gets 6 years Benjamin Alldritt

A man who opened fire with a handgun on a crowded West Vancouver street while fleeing from a jewelry store robbery has been sentenced to six years in jail.

Jeremy Winger, 25, pleaded guilty to using a restricted firearm in the commission of a robbery and to unlawfully discharging a firearm while being reckless to the safety of another person.

Both offences carry a mandatory minimum five-year sentence.

Just after 11 a.m. on Jan. 19 of this year, Winger and two other men entered Absolute Star Design on the 2400-block of Marine Drive. Winger produced a 9-mm semi-automatic handgun, pointed it at owner Gino Giragosian and ordered him to the floor. The trio smashed the store’s display cases, stuffed roughly $300,000 worth of jewelry into their bags and then ran back to

Giragosian grabbed a can of bear spray and chased the robbers into the street. The owner wasn’t able to spray them — he took the worst effects of it himself — but his determined pursuit so alarmed the three that Winger turned and fired two shots.

In an interview with West Vancouver police, Winger later said “I just wanted to scare him. I didn’t want him to spray us. I could have shot him; I didn’t. I didn’t want to hurt anyone.”

Woolstencroft honoured by city NV Paralympian announces her retirement

THE City of North Vancouver bestowed its highest honour on Paralympic skiing champion Lauren Woolstencroft at a ceremony at city hall Monday, only days before she announced her retirement from competitive skiing.

“Freedom of the City is the city’s highest honour, given to individuals and groups in our city who have contributed significantly to our community, demonstrated leadership and are inspiring to others,” said Mayor Darrell Mussatto in front of a packed council chambers.

In the audience were Woolstencroft’s family, her boyfriend, numerous former councillors and mayors, previous Freedom recipients and representatives of the NEWS photo Cindy Goodman school district and emergency PARALYMPIC skiing champion Lauren Woolstencroft receives the Freedom of the City from City of North services.

“It’s taken me a few months since the Games to door to those opportunities and I’ll see what comes Lauren is a true champion: the very best in every way. think it over,” she said. “It’s been an amazing 12 my way.”

As a civil servant who worked for the Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee, Tickell was sworn to protect the interests of elderly people who had been declared incapable of managing their own financial and legal affairs.

Instead, he used the system to steal from his clients.

In one case he transferred an undeveloped lot belonging to an elderly North Vancouver woman into his own name, forging signatures and claiming that he was the woman’s grandson.

Soon after the transfer was complete, he sold the property for more than $1 million.

Tickell also changed the will of another North Vancouver man who suffered from dementia, after tricking two caregivers to sign the document as witnesses. The new will for the $1.2-million estate removed most of the charitable gifts in the previous will and named Tickell as a beneficiary of 20 per cent, claiming he was a longtime friend’s grandson.

Tickell’s deception was eventually discovered on July 27, 2007 when the man died and relatives found his will wasn’t where it should have been.

Tickellappealedthesentence, saying it was too long and arguing the trial judge didn’t give enough consideration to mitigating factors like his guilty plea, his young age, lack of criminal record and unlikelihood that he will have the opportunity to re-offend. But the three appeal court justices didn’t buy his arguments.

“This was a serious, unprecedented fraud, perpetrated on a public institution which is responsible for the care of the incapable. . . .” wrote Kirkpatrick in rejecting the appeal.

NEWS photo Mike Wakefield

GINO Giragosian in his Dundarave jewelry store with a microscope used to classify and identify diamonds.

One bullet was later pulled out of a nearby car’s grille. The other bullet was never found.

Undaunted, Giragosian was still trying to smash the window of the trio’s car as they sped away. A motorist followed the getaway car, managed to get a partial licence plate number, and watched as the three men swapped vehicles some distance away. Still trailing them, the witness watched as they drove north and onto Highway 1.

But West Vancouver police had already set up a roadblock on the highway. Seeing this, the robbers ditched their second car, scrambled over a fence and attempted to flee on foot through a residential neighbourhood.

Police began to search the area, and quickly found the three hiding under a deck. The officers searched Winger and found more than 100 pieces of jewelry in his pockets. According to the police report, Winger smiled at the arresting officer and said “What would you say if I told you I found them?”

Back at the police station, Winger told police he had removed the magazine from his handgun and tossed both objects out of the car’s window. But realizing that a round remained in the chamber and telling police he was worried a child might find the loaded weapon, Winger offered to help retrieve it. With his help, police found the gun and magazine in a garden later that night.

Winger also immediately confessed his role in the robbery.

“I was just looking for a way to pay off some debt, make some money and get ahead. I guess this wasn’t the way,” he told interviewers.

Winger had been expelled from high school and lost his

construction job the previous year. A failed attempt at club promotion and an expensive drug habit had left him in a great deal of debt. He was growing desperate and signed on with the robbery scheme after his phone was cut off.

In provincial court Wednesday, Crown counsel Linda Ostry asked Judge David Pendleton to hand down a jail sentence of between seven and nine years. She argued that the five-year minimum should be seen as a “floor” for sentencing. The fact that Winger planned the robbery, pointed a loaded gun at the store owner and later fired two rounds in a busy public place should ratchet up his sentence, she said.

Defence counsel Alex Wolf countered that the minimum sentence was “a place to start,” and said there were also mitigating factors to weigh. Winger is comparatively young, Wolf said, his previous criminal record is limited and non-violent, and he cooperated fully with police after his arrest. Wolf produced a dozen letters of support from Winger’s friends and family members, many of who were also in the courtroom.

“He has done everything that can be done since his crime to mitigate the circumstances,” said Wolf. “He has to be given some credit for that.”

Pendleton settled on a six-year jail sentence minus time already served. Winger has spent the past five months in jail and receives double credit for time already served because his crime was committed before that practice was discontinued on Feb. 23.

“The court should not lose sight of rehabilitation,” Pendleton said.

Winger will also have to produce a DNA sample and is barred for life from owning or possessing firearms.

The other two accused men will be in court in July.

North Vancouver District

2009 Annual Report Reflecting the past, looking to the future

During the 1950s through to the mid 1970s, the North Shore boomed, with much suburban development taking place in North Vancouver District. During this period of growth, the District’s population increased by almost 50,000, and a good portion of its infrastructure was built, including roadways, water mains and municipal facilities. Regional infrastructure, including Cleveland Dam, Ironworkers Memorial Bridge, Upper Levels Highway and Lions Gate Wastewater Treatment Plant, was also constructed during this period.

North Vancouver District’s 2009 Annual Report is now available for review. The report includes a message from Mayor Richard Walton, divisional overviews, goals and achievements, audited financial statements, permissive tax exemptions, performance measures, benchmarks and more.

Annual Repor t, 20 09

DISTRICT OF NORTH VA NCOUVE R , B R ITISH COLU M B IA

Serving our community since 1891

Much of this initial infrastructure now needs upgrading or replacement, requiring significant additional investment over the coming years. The District also faces a reality similar to many municipalities across Canada where regulatory standards, community needs and ongoing costs are rising, but where revenues, such as property taxes, fees and user charges, are flat or even decreasing. The 2009 Annual Report describes the District’s efforts to address these challenges, as well as progress made on other organizational goals.

2009 in Review

Financial Results

Corporate Performance

• During the year, considerable effort was directed towards updating the District’s Official Community Plan (OCP), updating the natural hazards management plan, developing a recreation facilities replacement plan, creating an inventory of assets to comply with new accounting rules, and participating in regional transportation, growth, solid waste and liquid waste planning initiatives.

• We continue to build a strong foundation to support the vision being developed by the community through the OCP process by pursuing specific initiatives to achieve the five goals of the Corporate Plan illustrated below.

• Progress in 2009 has been significant: of the 71 priority actions within the Plan, six have been completed, 63 are achieving an 80 per cent or better performance in meeting targeted milestones, and two are behind schedule.

• Specific organizational achievements can be found in the Divisional Reporting section of the Annual Report.

It’s roadwork season! As our inventory of pavement ages, roads are assessed and rated to determine which streets will be rehabilitated each year. The District strives to ensure that the work is carried out in the most cost-effective manner. The task of maintaining the District’s road network in both a safe and trouble-free condition is a challenge that we take seriously and we’ll do our best to ensure that any disruptions are kept to a minimum. If you encounter paving or road rehabilitation crews while driving or walking, please follow all signs and directions of the traffic control personnel. For more information visit www.dnv.org.

• The year was particularly challenging for the District as we experienced the effects of the global economic downturn as well as an unprecedented snow storm early in the year that cost more than $1 million to clean up.

• Despite these significant challenges, the District was able to make necessary operational and financial adjustments in order to continue providing residents with the high quality of service they have come to expect.

• The District’s Consolidated Financial Statements show favourable results: The Consolidated Statement of Financial Position shows an $8.6 million increase in accumulated surplus and the Consolidated Statement of Operations presents positive results compared to the prior year.

• As well as Financial Statements, the District’s 2009 Annual Report lists Permissive Tax Exemptions. Supplemental Information includes trends and descriptions for key indicators of financial health such as debt financing, capital planning, surpluses and reserves. It also presents select benchmarks and community demographic information.

• In accordance with the recommendations of the Public Sector Accounting Board, the District has adopted new accounting standards, which have affected the presentation of financial information and the results of our operations. A significant change is the mandatory recording of depreciation, meant to reflect the consumption of municipal capital assets. It is anticipated that this approach will help identify the funding gap associated with the future replacement of major assets and lead to a more sustainable financial future for municipalities.

Review the Report, attend the meeting To learn more about the District’s goals and achievements, financial health and more, residents are encouraged to review the 2009 Annual Report. The report is available for viewing at the Clerk’s Office at District Hall, (355 W. Queens Road), at any District library, or online at www.dnv.org.

District Council will consider the Annual Report at the Council meeting on Monday, June 21 at 7 p.m., at District Hall, 355 West Queens Road. This meeting is your opportunity to ask questions or make submissions on any aspect of the report. For more information, visit www.dnv.org.

The North Vancouver trail, which typically opens in early spring, opened its gates for the first time this year on Saturday, June 12. The delay was a result of both the extension of April’s showers into May, but also a result of construction on the upper section of the trail.

According to Metro Vancouver, hikers can expect five- to 10-minute delays throughout the summer season, as work crews continue to improve the safety of the trail at several sites.

The trail, which is open between 6:15 a.m. and 7:30 p.m., will only undergo construction between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. daily.

Agent of change F

OR the families affected by the Air India bombings, the report from the commission of inquiry into the 1985 tragedy will likely offer little comfort.

But while the report cannot undo the past, it may offer hope for the future.

The four-year inquiry uncovered a list of egregious failures on the part of our government and security services: CSIS agents undertook inadequate surveillance of known terrorists now believed responsible for the bombing; RCMP investigators dismissed lines of inquiry that did not support their preferred theory.

The most grievous mistake, however, appears to have been a breakdown in communication.

Justice John Major, who headed the

commission, concluded that CSIS and the RCMP, between them, had enough information to predict, if not prevent, the bombing of Flight 182. They didn’t share it, though, apparently as a result of their desire to defend their own territory and reputations.

The report outlines steps our government can take, including the creation of a powerful national security czar, that would ensure such foolishness never again gets in the way of public safety. We can only hope those recommendations become a reality.

In practical terms, there is nothing our country can do to alleviate the pain of families who lost loved ones in the attack. There is much it can do, however, to prevent others from going through the same thing.

Thanks, Windsor House

Dear Editor: My son has attended Windsor House for 3½ years, and has now made the decision to transfer to our local high school for Grade 8. I have mixed feelings, but this is his decision and not mine, as he has pointed out very clearly.

I am writing to express my gratitude for the education he has received at Windsor House. When he transferred to Windsor House, we were both amazed by the level of respect shown to the children, the positive learning environment and the care that was taken in getting to know each student and helping them to grow and become independent, thriving learners. Yes, there were bumps that occurred along the way. Each time, the staff took the time to look into the problem, discuss it thoroughly with him and proceed in a fair and thoughtful manner.

I have been repeatedly surprised by the care that the staff has taken to help form a program that is meaningful, truly democratic

and attempts to teach all of the children in a way that is motivating and rewarding. What an amazing experience for a child to have, learning in a place that strives toward true democracy.

Before transferring to Windsor House, a skill he had taught himself was how to read a book inside of his desk because he was finding little challenge in the classroom. Since moving to Windsor House, some of his great achievements have been advanced math studies,cooking,advancedmusicalstudies,organizingandleadership, outdoor survival, understanding Shakespeare and organizing and controlling backstage and lighting for drama productions. He is very proud of all of these achievements and he is such a confident young man now, I know he will succeed in whatever he chooses to do.

A big thank you to the caring, thoughtful and excellent teaching and support staff and to the Windsor House community of parents and volunteers who help to make this wonderful place what it is.

North Van’s Relay for Life not to be missed

Dear Editor: I’d just like to let everyone know that if they didn’t go to Mahon Park for the cancer walk/run (Relay for Life) on Saturday, they missed a great event.

There were booths where you could get examined by a chiropractor, get a quick massage or get a 40-minute session on special beds with rollers (which I enjoyed thoroughly, by the way!). There were many varied and different items at the silent auction. If you were a collector of hockey items, you must kick yourself for not attending.

CONTACT US

At night, the luminary ceremony with candle-lit bags bearing the names of cancer survivors or those who have lost their battle to cancer, surrounded the walking circle. The candlelight parade was touching and poignant, being held at 9:30 p.m. so the candlelight was quite visible, as were the candles held by the participants.

So, if you missed this event this year, I hope you will attend next year. I am a recent survivor of cancer (2009) so this was the first time I attended. I will definitely be there next year.

Arlene S. King, North Vancouver

HST aids underground economy

Dear Editor: What MLA Naomi Yamamoto and the B.C. Liberals don’t seem to realize is that the rest of us are not stupid — we are fed up and we are getting more annoyed each day. I have no doubt this will culminate at the next B.C. election.

Any person in British Columbia who runs a business who currently pays PST on goods, will likely welcome a simplified and integrated tax system combining the GST and PST. The rest of us, however, clearly understand that the incoming HST is another seven per cent on top of what we already pay. As I contemplate any sort of spending, I will, as will other consumers, consider the effect of paying this additional seven per cent on numerous necessary services (physiotherapy, accounting, etc.).

This is aside from impacts to “extras” such as restaurant meals, entertainment, clothing and fitness activities.

As a consultant, I will be charging my clients an additional seven per cent for their projects. No wonder that friends and neighbours are already organizing trips to the United States to save their shopping dollars. The HST will not “strengthen the B.C. economy.” It will send B.C. residents south of the border, or into Alberta to shop. The only economy that will “transform” is the newly invigorated underground economy.

Catherine MacDonald, North Vancouver

West Van’s growing entry point Dear Editor: Does anyone besides me find it ironic that an all-too-common way to afford a single family home in West Vancouver is to start a grow-op? Or rent to someone else who can afford it because they have a grow-op?

Will others follow Blair Lekstrom out of caucus?

THE one consistent factor that distinguished the B.C. Liberal government from its two predecessors has been shattered with the bolt-from-the-blue resignation of Blair Lekstrom from the government caucus.

View from the Ledge Keith Baldrey

But some think he’s really preparing to run federally for the Conservatives in the next election, or is even thinking of heading up a third provincial party. He’s neatly disassociated himself from the dreaded HST (even though he voted to repeal the provincial sales tax, which clears the decks for bringing in the HST), which should help his political future.

But whatever his reasons, Lekstrom’s move has thrust the very real grumbling within government into the public spotlight.

New Democrats and their anti-HST allies are salivating at what they see as an eventual avalanche of dissent, as one Liberal MLA after another bolts from their leader.

But I wonder how many will actually take the giant step that Lekstrom has taken. For one thing, quitting a caucus consigns an MLA to nearoblivion status.

And leaving the caucus

From 1986 to 1991, British Columbia was governed by political parties that found themselves mired in internal problems that eventually boiled over into public view. The result for both the Social Credit and the New Democratic Party administrations was eventual total collapse.

Both parties took out their own leaders. Bill Vander Zalm, Mike Harcourt and, to a lesser degree, Glen Clark all had to step aside prematurely as their own people broke ranks with their leadership.

But this long-running narrative suddenly changed with the election of Gordon Campbell and the B.C. Liberals in 2001. For the past nine years, the administration has been able to hold itself together through scandal and controversy with little evidence of internal dissent.

Some high-profile people (Carole Taylor, Christy Clark and Gary Collins being the most notable) left the government, but their departures were not attached to any publicly voiced displeasure about policies or leadership.

But Lekstrom’s sudden resignation changes things.

For the first time, a credible member of the B.C. Liberals has parted ways publicly with his party and his leader (Lekstrom once voted against a government bill that tore up a health union’s collective agreement, but that’s small potatoes compared to quitting the caucus).

The question now: Will anyone else from the caucus follow his lead? Will any other Liberal MLA opt out of what appears, for now at least, a car heading over a cliff?

Lekstrom’s motivations for his resignation have been questioned. He says he’s leaving over how the HST has been handled, insisting the government should pull back from implementing it and embark on a six-month consultation process.

may not ensure an MLA is still electable in 2013, just because he or she has broken ranks with the HST. However, we are in uncharted waters right now.

Trying to predict the political future of government MLAs is a fool’s errand these days.

What is really unknown is the depth of loyalty certain newly elected MLAs have to Campbell and the B.C. Liberal brand.

These are the people to keep an eye on. Rookie B.C. Liberal MLAs such as John Slater, Pat Pimm, Terry Lake, Eric Foster, Donna Barnett and Don McRae appear to be most vulnerable to successful recall campaigns.

For the most part, they represent rural ridings that encompass regions that once voted for the old federal Reform Party in large numbers and are particularly incensed over the HST. It is these MLAs who will feel the most pressure in the weeks ahead, and if they are staring down the barrel at recall or certain defeat in 2013, they may take a walk from the caucus.

If just two of them quit, they could join Lekstrom and fellow independent MLA Vicki Huntington and gain official party status in the legislature.

That could provide the basis on which to build a credible third-party alternative in this province.

Saturday open house seeks public input on municipality’s future Kerry Blackadar

HOW do you envision the District of North Vancouver in 2030?

The District of North Vancouver is asking members of the community to bring their ideas and participate in addressing issues related to future development and sustainability.

“What we are really looking for at these events is community feedback — whether the district is going in the right direction with respect to the draft plan for the future of the community,” said Susan Haid, the district’s manager for sustainable community development.

The first event, the Directions and Choice Forum, took place Wednesday and provided an opportunity for community members to ask questions and raise concerns regarding policy directions.

The Directions and Choice Open House on Saturday, June 19, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., will be a more family-oriented gathering.

According to Haid, it is important for the district’s draft plan — which focuses on future goals related to housing, the local economy, climate change and energy, infrastructure and transportation — to include public feedback.

“The biggest challenge,” said Haid, “is working with the diversity of voices. Everyone comes with a different notion of how things should work, or a different view on social policies.”

But to Haid, while working with a diversity of opinions is a challenge, embracing them is not only important, but necessary in order to address challenges facing the district, including slow population growth and the high cost of homes.

Both events will take place at district hall, 355 West Queens Rd., North Vancouver.

B.C.’s electronic waste program one of the best

Niamh Scallan

nscallan@nsnews.com

A British Columbia program is leading the way in recycling electronic waste, City of North Vancouver councillors heard at a meeting last week.

Joyce Thayer, executive director of the non-profit organization Electronic Stewards Association of British Columbia (ESABC), presented information on the success of the Return-It Electronics program in keeping potentially toxic electronic waste from landfills.

“We’ve diverted over 30,000 metric tonnes from landfill as of June 1,” Thayer said. “We are one of the most successful programs in North America.”

The ESABC–run electronics return program began in 2007,

funded by an environmental handling fee. This fee is included in the price of many electronic products purchased in British Columbia. The program had 94 collection sites across the province by 2008.

Three Return-It depots are located in North Vancouver.

The North Vancouver Bottle & Return-It Depot on Brooksbank Avenue, the North Shore Bottle

Depot on Donaghy Avenue and the Salvation Army on Lonsdale Avenue accept all types of electronics.

Coun.

Craig Keating applauded the Recycle-it program for its initiative but argued that more should be done at provincial and federal levels.

“A lot of people think that waste is a municipal issue but there should be national standards,”

he said. “National governments are allowing the production of this kind of waste but imposing on local governments the necessity of dealing with it in an environmentally sound way.”

INQUIRING REPORTER A North Vancouver man was $1 million richer after cashing in a winning lottery ticket last weekend.

Sammy Amiralaei’s lucky ticket was one of the 27 $1-million Maxmillion prizes on the table last week. After two straight weeks of no one winning Lotto Max’s main prize, today’s Lotto Max jackpot remains at $50 million with 45 additional Maxmillion tickets in the pool. Critics of big-pot, state-run lotteries argue that they take money out of the pockets of those who can least afford to pay. Others note that the fantasies created between buying and losing are priceless.

The pilot program’s goal is to demonstrate alternate forms of housing, such as infill or laneway homes, by encouraging single examples to be built on private lots. Two projects are currently being considered: one on the 2600-block of Ottawa Avenue and one on the 6800-block of Hycroft Road.

But several councillors were uneasy at the prospect of amending the official community plan without knowing what the pilot projects will look like and without having fully discussed “neighbourhood character” with nearby residents.

“I’m not sure we need to do an OCP amendment to do trials and projects if we so choose,” Coun. Michael Lewis said. “I’m not sure there has been sufficient consultation. I don’t hear a consistent response. I go to meetings and people are all in favour of alternate housing forms as long as they’re not in their neighbourhood — ‘Let the experiment be over that way please.’”

Bob Sokol, district director of planning, permits and lands, said moving ahead with the OCP amendment would not commit council to approving any single project.

“Council is being asked to just evaluate the idea of having a housing pilot project program and this creates the policy framework to allow staff to bring these projects forward to council,” he said.

In fact, Sokol added, the amendment has to be in place in order for a builder to legally apply for rezoning for a test project.

Coun. Michael Smith described the whole concept as “a wild goose chase” that had soaked up too much time and money. “After all these months and years, we’ve got two potential projects, one where the owner hasn’t even come forward with a design and the second one, the immediate neighbour is vehemently opposed to it.”

Smith said the project had produced no community benefits while alternative housing was already being built in Rodgers Creek and potentially also in the Wetmore and Ambleside redevelopments.

Mayor Pam Goldsmith-Jones, however, said she “couldn’t disagree more.”

“We are doing fine-grain redevelopment driven by long-term residents in their long-term neighbourhoods. It is slow, but this is West Vancouver and we’re going to do a good job of it. I totally See Mayor page 11

There’s going to be a lot of hand-holding occurring in the B.C. Liberal caucus in the weeks ahead, as the premier and senior cabinet ministers try to calm the waters and implore everyone to stick together.

They will all be watched closely over the summer. Lekstrom has opened the door to a path that could see the government fall apart, or he has simply consigned himself to the lonely life of an independent MLA. Either way, the days of a concrete unified front appear to be over for the B.C. Liberals.

UNDER the Volcano Festival’s artistic director Meegan Maultsaid says this year’s event will be the last in its present form but the core organizers will continue to do social activist events.

UNDER THE VOLCANO FESTIVAL GOING OUT WITH A BANG

Changing course

■ The 20th and final Under The Volcano Festival, Cates Park/Whey-ahWichen, North Vancouver, Sunday, Aug. 8. Gates open at 12 noon. Naomi Klein and Arthur Manuel with Manuel and Avi Lewis, Veda Hille, Declan de Barra, Delhi2Dublin and Pluskratch. Admission: Gate only (no advance tickets) by donation $10-$20. Low income admission by-donation, suggested $5, available at main gate only. For more details visit volcano.resist.ca.

Benjamin Alldritt balldritt@nsnews.com

AFTER two decades of showcasing the arts and providing a stage for thought-provoking discussions of social activism, Under the Volcano is calling it quits.

But the classic North Vancouver festival, held annually in Cates Park, is marking its 20th and final outing with a bang.

“I’m always excited about our lineup,” says artistic director Meegan Maultsaid.

“What things do I think are great and amazing this year? There’s Delhi2Dublin, Veda Hille, Declan de Barra and Pluskratch.

“On the waterfront stage we’re doing the Girls Rock Camp showcase. Girls Rock Camp started last year as a non-profit organization that puts on these summer camps where girls come and learn instruments and at the end of the week of the camp they form bands and they do a showcase. So we’re collaborating with them to put on a showcase of girls’ and women’s bands. That’ll be really cool.”

One of the big draws for this year’s Under the Volcano will be an on-stage discussion between indigenous activist Arthur Manuel and award-winning author Naomi Klein. The dialogue, titled Paying our Debts, At Home and Abroad, will be moderated by Klein’s husband, journalist Avi Lewis.

But for many returning festival-goers, the moment will be bittersweet.

“There has been a lot of surprise, and questions,” Maultsaid says. “We want to emphasize that it’s not a failure that we’re stopping after 20 years. It’s a celebration and a great success that we’ve been able to keep doing it for so long. We’ve viewing it as changing course. Not a death but more like a rebirth. I’ve no doubt that the

core organizers will continue to do social activist events, it’s just not going to be the model of Under The Volcano in Cates Park, which is a large event and financially extremely risky.”

Maultsaid made special note of the ongoing support the festival has enjoyed from The Arts Office in North Vancouver, but said several other funding sources have dried up. Compounding this problem, last year’s event was staged under heavy rainfall, shrinking the number of visitors.

“We were lucky to have some savings from previous years,” she says. “What it illustrates is that it’s a great financial risk to do a by-donation, non-advance-ticket, non-corporate-sponsored, all-volunteer-run event. You risk organizer burnout and you risk losing a great deal of money. That’s what happened last year. If we hadn’t had those savings, there probably wouldn’t be a 20th anniversary; we’d be in debt.

It’s never been our intention to make a profit; we just want to cover our expenses.

The spirit of Under the Volcano has always been a very accessible community and cultural event. We’ve always remained by-donation and it’s very important to us to keep that model intact, but it’s not always easy.”

Under the Volcano Festival of Art and Social Change was first held in 1990 under the guidance of Irwin Oostindie, a longtime social activist and son of longtime North Vancouver parks superintendent Dirk Oostindie. The festival borrowed its name from a 1947 novel by Malcolm Lowry, regarded as one of the most important novels of the 20th century. For a while in the 1940s, Lowry lived in Cates Park.

Blending social activism with arts and fun, Under the Volcano became a fixture on the Lower Mainland’s summer schedule.

While Maultsaid and her colleagues aren’t willing to look past this summer’s event just yet, the 15-year festival veteran is confident the spirit of the event will live on.

“That star logo that people have come to recognize, you’ll still see it. It just won’t be the exact same festival on the second Sunday of August in Cates Park.”

This year’s Under the Volcano will be on Sunday, Aug. 8 in Cates Park, North Vancouver. The gates open at 12 noon and the festival ends at 9:30 p.m. Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition volunteers will be on hand to valet park your bicycle, which is the preferred mode of transport as car parking is limited. Admission is by donation, with a suggested contribution of $10 for low-income workers and students, $15-$20 for part-time workers and $20 for full-time workers. Volunteers are always welcome.

JACK Stafford is a big supporter of those in the music industry — literally.

For decades, the talented saxophone, flute and clarinet player has been called on to provide the backing instrumentation for an incredible array of artists for their West Coast shows, ranging from Frank Sinatra to Ray Charles and Anne Murray.

Stafford also leads a successful career in his own right and North Shore residents have an opportunity to catch him in action when he takes the stage as part of the Jack Stafford Jazz Trio in the second instalment of the Seymour Art Gallery’s Music Series. Joining Stafford for the gig, set for June 29 at the Deep Cove gallery, is pianist and former Capilano University teacher Allen Wold, and bassist and vocalist Goby Catt. Funds raised from the show will support the gallery.

Born in Phoenix, Ariz., Stafford moved to Monterey, Calif. at age 12. In 1969, on his 21st birthday he opted to leave the United States and settled in the Lower Mainland where he’s remained to this day, a current resident of Fort Langley.

MUSIC

Metric take the lead on Eclipse disc

■ Various Artists — The Twilight Saga: Eclipse Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Atlantic/Chop Shop) Rating: 8 (out of 10) Not that Twilight needed any more buzz but in advance of the movie next week the original motion picture soundtrack has come out to make some noise on its own.

Film and TV drive the music industry in this digital world and a spot on Glee, American Idol or the Twilight series can keep a record exec happy for a while generating iTunes action for their clients.

The majority of the songs included on the Eclipse soundtrack can be heard nowhere else — few B sides or outtakes here with most of the material written specifically for the movie.

Metric’s “Eclipse (All Yours),” the new movie’s theme song opens the album with Emily Haines singing lyrics from Bella Swan’s point of view. The band wrote the track with Eclipse’s musical director Howard Shore to set a tone for the film’s overall soundscape.

Indie bands are well represented in the film with the material aiming for a wide audience. Beck and Natasha Khan’s sublime “Let’s Get Lost” is a taste of what the next Bat for Lashes album may sound like.

CD REVIEWS Other standout tracks include Florence and The Machine’s “Heavy in Your Arms,” Eastern Conference Champions’ “A Million Miles an Hour,” the Dead Weather’s “Rolling In On a Burning Tire” and the Black Keys “Chop and Change.” Stellar stuff that will bring people in who may not have had any interest in the film otherwise.

— John Goodman ■ Robyn — Body Talk Part 1 (Cherrytree Records) Rating: 8 (out of 10) Stockholm’s Robyn (born Robin Miriam Carlsson) does things her way. First discovered at the age of 12 and groomed to be a mainstream diva (Sweden’s selection for Eurovision Song Contest in 1997) she moves further away from that original goal with every recording.

Her brilliant 2005 album established Robyn as a onestop electro-pop bricoleur with an entirely original take on dance music. Writing all of her own material with handpicked collaborators (such as Klas Ahlund of Teddybears STHLM, Swedish duo The Knife and producer Alexander Kronlund) she re-emerged as a hard-edged funk stylist with the Prince-like ability to keep the music moving at all costs.

photo Ward Perrin/PNG

METRIC’S Emily Haines and James Shaw were on the North Shore this week shooting a video for Eclipse (All Yours) with director Brantley Gutierrez.

Body Talk Part 1, released this week, takes her music to the next level with eight new tracks (including “Fembot”, “None of Dem” and “Dancing on My Own”) that build on her declaration of independence. Robyn’s calling the shots and says she has enough tunes to release two more albums this year. Stay tuned.

— John Goodman ■ Marina and the Diamonds — The Family Jewels (679 Recordings) Rating: 7 (out of 10) ■ Grace Potter & The Nocturnals — Grace Potter & The Nocturnals (Hollywood Records) Rating: 6 (out of 10) Welsh artist Marina is a little bit electropop and American singer/songwriter Grace is a little bit southern rock though the relative newcomers to the scene definitely have something in common — their vocal chops.

Marina’s sound is sort of a cross between the grandiosity of Imogen Heap and the cheekiness of Katy Perry with her bubble gum lyric delivery. For example on “Hollywood,” Marina warbles “He said, ‘Oh my God, you look just like Shakira! No, no, you’re Catherine Zeta!’ Actually, my name’s Marina.’”

Grace’s leanings have made her a popular fixture on the jam band scene seeing her share the stage with big acts Gov’t Mule and the Dave Matthews Band. Listen to her wail on “Paris (Ooh La La),” and croon on “Things I Never Needed.”

Check out Grace when she takes the stage at West Vancouver’s Ambleside Park July 1 for Sarah McLachlan’s Lilith festival. Marina will join the celebration of women in music for some United States dates later in the summer.

Toy Story gang keep the magic coming Reel Life

Julie Crawford ■ Toy Story 3. Directed by Lee Unkrich. Featuring Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and Joan Cusack.

Rating: 8 (out of 10) The Toy Story gang and those Twilight vampires have more in common than a third film with a June release date.

They share an existential dilemma: what good is immortality, if the people you love grow up and move on?

(There’s biting in the third instalment of Toy Story, too.

Though rabid toddlers are doing the gnawing, not abslicious immortals.)

The toys have already faced rejection, abandonment and eBay-like toy trafficking.

PIXAR Studios made Toy Story 3 in 3D but the film doesn’t really need any gimmickry. The latest instalment of what is now a classic franchise is in a league of its own with director Lee Unkrich pushing all the right buttons. mom (Laurie Metcalf) wants the toys boxed up in the attic or dumped. Both are terrifying prospects for Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz (Tim Allen), Jesse (Joan Cusack) and the rest of the toyroom.

An elaborate escape plan is hatched, and the toys arrive at what they think is the promised land: a daycare, where an endless parade of kiddies will play with them and love them . . . . right?

Actually, unsupervised kids are kind of a nightmare. And the daycare toys are presided over by fuzzy, strawberryscented Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear (voiced with gusto by Ned Beatty) who seems loveable but who proves to be a big,

pink meanie Other newcomers to the franchise include Michael Keaton as the metrosexual Ken doll and Timothy Dalton as a hedgehog thespian called Mr. Pricklepants (excellent).

Whoopi Goldberg and Bonnie Hunt also join the cast. There are now a lot of toys to keep track of, what with Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head (Don Rickles and Estelle Harris), Hamm (John Ratzenberger), Rex (Wallis Shawn), Barbie (Jodi Benson) and Slinky Dog (Blake Clark), but the voicework is so much fun across the board that we don’t mind the character clutter.

Things get dark in TS3, even darker than the recesses

of Sid-the-toy-torturer’s bedroom. The toys face incineration or being sealed in veritable coffins. The move toward Shrek-style humour — from poop jokes to innuendo — also bursts the Disney/Pixar purity bubble.

The storytelling is rich enough and the action consistent enough that such degradation is unnecessary.

And while the 3D is a little redundant here (why mess with a great thing?), the gimmick must’ve been deemed necessary in a summer when every other movie in Christendom is in 3D. Toy Story 3 runs 98 minutes and is directed by Lee Unkrich, who also did Finding

Nemo and the second Toy Story instalment. Based on an idea

by Unkrich, Pixar chief John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton, the story was scripted by Michael Arndt (who won an Oscar for his kid un-friendly Little Miss Sunshine). Unkrich clearly knows how to coax the best out of his actors, both veteran and newcomer.

Performances are spirited, interesting and moving.

Toy Story started it all, when it was the first featurelength film shot entirely using CG, back in 1995. That means that tots still in diapers who watched the original are now in middle school, and have grown up with the franchise. Miraculously, the

Toy Story gang was never really consigned to that dreaded dusty upper shelf: even inbetween films Woody, Buzz et al always had a presence at toy stores and electronics boutiques, and kid loyalty was unwavering.

You’ll laugh and you’ll cry, in the best tradition of Disney/Pixar movies. We cried as Sarah McLachlin sang “When Somebody Loves You” and Cowgirl Jesse was forgotten, in TS2. There’s an equally poignant moment here, guaranteeing a sniffle or two, which taps into my secret belief, even after all these years, that my toys have feelings. The folks at Pixar must believe it too.

Give lashes a boost Michelle Magnan

Canwest News Service

L’OREAL has a new product that may appeal to ladies with fragile eyelashes.

The Lash Boosting Serum is designed “to boost lash health with daily use,” according to a news release, thanks to ingredients such as

pro-vitamin B5, arginine and extract of Centella Asiatica.

We’re not sure what that means, exactly, but if the formula gives us healthylooking lashes, we’re OK with it.

The release says that in one month, you can expect to see lashes that are “fuller,” “stronger,” and “more abundant.”

L’Oreal recommends using

it in the morning, under your regular mascara, and at night, all by itself.

Coincidentally, L’Oreal has a new mascara that you can use the serum with: Double Extend Lash Boosting Mascara, which also contains some of the serum.

Both are available at stores now for a suggested retail price of $14.95 apiece.

Salons help mop up oil spill

THREE Lower Lonsdale hair salons have joined in the oil disaster relief effort in the Gulf of Mexico.

Supernova Salon, Mostafa Salon and Katwalk collected and saved hair clippings for shipment to the United States where the material will be made available for use in cleanup efforts along U.S. Gulf Coast shores.

“We had all heard about the use of natural hair to help in the cleanup effort in the oil disaster in the Gulf Oil Spill and wanted to get involved,” Dana Lyseng, owner of Supernova Salon, said in a release.

The salons are donating the hair to Matter of Trust, a California-based charity that

collects human and animal hair and stores it in warehouses until it’s needed for oil spills. Volunteers stuff the hair into donated nylons to create hair booms to soak up the oil.

According to the Deepwater Horizon Response website, BP has declined to use hair booms at this time. But the charity is still collecting fur and hair from across North America, just in case.

Lyseng said the Lower Lonsdale salons boxed 43 pounds of hair and packaged it with clippings from salons in the Pemberton, Whistler and Squamish areas for a joint shipment to Tampa, Fla., last week.

CELEBRITY hair technician Julien Grenier has taken up at a brand new, high-end salon in Vancouver.

The North Vancouver resident, formerly of Yaletown’s Tech 1 Hair Design, recently opened the newly branded Julien Grenier Salon and Aesthetics — a full service salon and spa that he and business partner Rory Mandryk describe as “Chanel meets Tiffany’s.”

“Our mandate was to create something that people love to come into. It’s welcoming, it’s

got a beautiful colour tone and palette. It’s very different for Vancouver, it’s state of the art,” says Mandryk.

While the duo was aiming for class and luxury, they wanted everyone who enters their doors to feel at home.

“We do movie stars and actors but we create an environment that really is not uncomfortable so that anybody from any demographic and any age group can come in and feel relaxed,” says Mandryk.

Located on West Broadway, the new digs feature floor to ceiling mirrors and windows, See Service page 21

LOOK mattie à la mode

Dress yourself up DEAR Mattie,

What style of dress should I be considering buying?

Styling in Seymour Dear Seymour, Dresses are lots of fun this season.

They are fresh with new ideas and there are a variety of styles for many body types. Everyone can wear a dress this season. The only question is, which one of these unique styles fits my personality!

The LWD (little white dress) is a classic for every summer season.

Many ladies shy away from the LWD, for many reasons. I feel you should embrace it for summer. A dress in one colour is contemporary and white is a confident expression of your personality, because you can accessorize it. This season white has a very modern approach in that it is artsy and minimalist at the same time.

The creative part of the LWD lies in the details. The neckline and hem is edged with swirls of ruffles or pretty lace. Laser-cut rosettes and eyelets embellish simple white cotton. Pleats are also popular, creating volume and shape to the silhouette of the dress.

This dress is down-to-earth, in a mod and prim sort of way. It is not a cute or pretty dress, although it is cheery. Most of the lines and shapes are simple and not overwhelming. This dress can be short (to the knee) or maxi (to the ankle), with emphasis on a raised waistline.

If white is too stark for you, then ivory and pastels present a luxurious opportunity. Ivory and light coloured pastels complemented with transparent gauze-like textures allow the dress a sense of lightness.

A lightweight, flowing silhouette is the main theme in dresses this summer.

An all-white dress does not have to be presented in one colour. An edgier LWD is covered with a bib of turquoise crystals, colourful stones, and also embroidered with tiny wooden tiles. Add black graphic stripes and swirls to the pattern and it will give your outfit a look of sophistication. Red accessories will punch some style right into the mix. Prints are also very popular this dress season. They are a blurry floral print that looks like ink patterns blended onto the dress. Minimalist does not mean plain. It means a few smart choices.

Other trends of dresses to consider are military styling with big, angular pockets belted into a cinched waist in shades of khaki and beige. This can be a fun look with

classic white marble and metallic mosaic tiles and sleek black furniture, housed inside a bright 2,500-square-foot space.

It’s definitely causing a buzz in the neighbourhood, says Grenier.

“Just passing by here, everybody’s walking with their heads looking sideways into the shop because there’s so much action all the time. . . .

People are very intrigued and they just come in and see if

Go to work, go for lunch, do whatever you feel like doing in a dress. Summer dresses are casual and fancy at the same time. The dress styles are not feminine this season, they are structured with a soft rounded out feel to them.

Services cover the full spectrum of beauty needs, including everything from haircuts, colours and perms to body polishes, massages and manicures and pedicures.

But it’s not just a high skill level that keeps customers coming back, says Grenier.

“Of course we’re very professional and we give very high-end quality service, but it’s that personal service that we give to them, it makes them

feel very special,” he says.

As for hair trends on the rise, it looks like this summer is going to be red hot, says Grenier.

“There are a lot of red colours for sure, we’re doing a lot of reds. Truly the style right now, we’re trying to keep it as natural as possible because we’re working with the environment of Vancouver . . . but we’re just trying to do it more polished.”

www.nsdrc.org CARF accreditation was awarded to NSDRC for the following programs: Supported Living, Infant Development and Community Based Services.

interested to our 2009-2010 Annual General Meeting on Thursday, September 30th 2010. for location and time. Kindly RSVP by calling 604.985.5371.

Employee of the Month Wade Klimek is a hardworking, taxpaying, citizen of our community. He works two jobs and volunteers in his spare time. He has managed to overcome many of the communication barriers associated with being a person with autism. When he can’t express himself with words, he uses a device called a Chat PC to get his message across.

A sturdy tree becomes a person reaching upward in celebration, its leaves, transformed, break free and take flight.

We work to ensure that people with disabilities, along with their families and friends, can participate actively as members of the community. We are committed to working toward a community which is free of physical, financial and attitudinal barriers.

The North Shore Disability Resource

Wade worked hard to get to where he is today. In high school, he completed volunteer placements at the Salvation Army Soup Kitchen and the bakery at Capers. Through these experiences, he realized he had a talent for cooking so he applied to the Art Institute of Vancouver’s Culinary Program, from which he graduated recently with honours.

The Keg in West Vancouver was the first employer to recognize Wade’s talents.

He started a paid position washing dishes about 3 years ago and has since been promoted to Prep Chef. With hard work and perseverance, Wade earned himself a second paid job in the bakery at Whole Foods.

Wade Klimek

For Wade, having a job is about more than earning a paycheque; it is a place to belong. It gives him a chance to contribute and be a part of a team. Given the opportunity, Wade would excel at anything he chose to do. His biggest challenge has been finding employers that are willing to give him a chance to prove he can get the job done. We need more employers like The Keg and Whole Foods that recognize the intrinsic value of an inclusive workplace and the reciprocal benefits it has for our community.

Lynn Valley Day THE NSDRC looks forward to the Lynn Valley Day Parade each year. On May 29th this year it rained on our parade but the cheerful spirit of NSDRC participants and staff prevailed. Thank you to Tim Hortons for the donation of Timbits and coffee that helped warm the day.

HOUSING ON THE NORTH SHORE “Our Story So Far: Moving from Advocacy to Action” In May 2009 Lionsview Seniors Planning Society, the Community Housing Action Committee (CHAC) and the Canadian Federation of University Women (North Shore Branches) organised the “Housing the North Shore” forum with administrative support from North Shore Community Resources Society.

We invited a variety of citizens, neighbours, experts and stakeholders from all three municipalities. Our plenary speaker, Michael Geller, and panellists focused on partnerships and solutions. Participants affirmed the vision by asking for follow-up meetings.

Since then we have held 3 more sessions, all across the North Shore, tackling issues such as what types of housing we should consider, who should live in the homes and how the new buildings will affect the lives of all residents in each neighbourhood.

We learned that North Shore community members have generous community values. We learned that we need to find ways to make difficult housing conversations easier. We came away understanding partnerships are critical to success on every front.

The NSDRC is proud to be part of this dynamic group of representatives from community and social services groups.

With our core group of impassioned and knowledgeable volunteers, we look forward to hearing more from our neighbours as we look for ways to ensure the North Shore continues to be the best home for all its citizens.

If you have comments or would like to contribute to the Housing the North Shore forum, please contact Jane Osborne at jane@nsrj.ca. Our website is currently under construction.

GREEN

New company thinks outside the box Offers clients an eco-friendly alternative Erin McPhee

change makers

emcphee@nsnews.com

DOUG Burgoyne couldn’t be happier with the way things have worked out.

In April 2009, the Vancouver resident found himself at a crossroads: accept a promotion from the telecommunications company he was working for as a full-time consultant; or follow his gut and take a risk, catapulting himself completely into Frogbox, a green moving equipment rental company he’d been operating on evenings and weekends with the help of a University of British Columbia student. Confident in its potential, Burgoyne chose the latter.

“People thought I was crazy,” he laughs, in retrospect.

However, Burgoyne’s decision to work solely with Frogbox was a good one as in the last year alone, the grassroots business has gone from a part-time Lower Mainland service to an international corporation operating in three major markets — Toronto, Ont., and Seattle, Wash., included. Popular amongst the green-savvy public as well as its peers, Frogbox is continuing to get noticed, not only for its sustainable approach to moving but business in general.

“I knew it was a good idea,” says Burgoyne, who launched Frogbox in the spring of 2008 and serves as its president.

He and his wife had moved a lot over the years and were all too familiar with the degree of waste that can result, needing to be disposed of in landfills or recycled. Settling in Vancouver, he found himself interested in launching a new business, specifically focused on sustainability.

“I’ve been in a lot of businesses that are truly just about transactions and money and they weren’t fulfilling for me anymore,” says Burgoyne. “I wanted to do something that had a little more value than just monetary.”

Taking this into consideration, an idea eventually came into focus and he ran with it.

Frogbox provides individuals with an alternative to the standard approach to moving — they rent reusable plastic moving boxes, totes, wardrobes and other supplies (like eco-friendly, recycled packing paper), dropping them off and picking them up once moves are completed.

“It’s more convenient, it’s affordable and it’s green,” says Burgoyne. “It just seemed like a no-brainer for me as a business idea.”

Residential clients account for approximately 80 per cent

of their business, primarily urban apartment dwellers, and the remaining 20 per cent are commercial clients, ranging from small businesses to organizations like UBC and BCIT. They’ve also built relationships with area movers who refer their customers.

In addition to the services it offers, Frogbox operates in a sustainable manner.

“We want to run the company in every way we can with the lowest environmental footprint,” says Burgoyne.

For example, their delivery trucks, highly visible in the community because of their graphic designs, run on waste stream bio-diesel fuel. They use computer software that maps routes and schedules based on postal codes so trips are ordered efficiently, avoiding driving carelessly from one municipality to the other, thereby reducing mileage. Also, one per cent of revenue is donated to frog habitat restoration projects, including the Vancouver Aquarium’s Oregon Spotted Frog Recovery and B.C. Frogwatch programs.

They’re also partnered with Climate Smart, a Vancouverbased social enterprise focused on addressing climate change by helping businesses measure, reduce and offset their greenhouse gas emissions. Frogbox participated in a Climate Smart training session and Burgoyne is now called upon to speak at their workshops, sharing his experiences with other companies.

For example, this spring, he was part of a presentation made at the North Shore Emergency Management Office.

One of those sessions was what got his company noticed by the West Vancouver Chamber of Commerce. Staff, in attendance, opted to later employ Frogbox’s services for their recent move to 401-100 Park Royal.

“The chamber is striving to be greener . . . and after hearing how green they were and how many times they can use the boxes over and over and over again, it just made sense. We didn’t want to end up with a bunch of cardboard boxes that were going to have to be recycled,” says chamber executive director Leagh Gabriel. “They were fantastic, very reliable, very professional and they worked out really well.”

Frogbox’s unique take on moving is resonating with others in the business world as

Frogbox rents reusable plastic moving boxes as an alternative to cardboard. well. This week, Entrepreneur Magazine named them No. 5 on their June edition’s Ten Hot Startups list. Frogbox was the only Canadian-based business mentioned. In April, the company received the inaugural The Leos award, sponsored

by Leo Burnett USA and the Entrepreneurs’ Organization.

Burgoyne will receive $250,000 in services from Leo Burnett, a marketing and communications agency. Frogbox also just filmed an episode of Dragons’ Den in Toronto that’s set to air in the coming months.

Based on the success in the Lower Mainland, Burgoyne expanded his operation to Seattle, Wash., in June 2009 and Toronto, Ont., in March.

“The growth has been really good,” he says of those cities, adding the Toronto operation is doing double to triple what the Vancouver and Seattle offices did in their first few months.

Burgoyne is continuing to ponder expansion to nearby cities, thinking of targeting Calgary, Alta., and Portland, Ore., next, based on their proximity.

He has a goal of having the company be in the 30 biggest cities in North America in five years.

Franchising is not yet a route he plans to take.

“We get hundreds of franchise requests a month and we’ve never once advertised for franchise,” says Burgoyne. “We may eventually in the future but right now we’re just growing corporately.”

Mini throws pint-sized punches at Porsche photo submitted

THE seventh-generation Porsche 911, introduced this year, improves on a supercar that was already very impressive. The 911 Turbo has a combination of talent and charisma that no other car has ever attained.

There are lots of exotic supercars in the world, and for each one you can say that there’s no other like it. But in this case, that’s just not enough. The Turbo has an untouchable combination of talent, charisma and reputation that no other car has ever attained or, more importantly, maintained.

Porsche understands that the 911’s intangibles are just as important as its specifications and astonishing, real-world performance. That’s what separates it from everything else on the road, whether you’re driving the Turbo or a base Carrera.

Of course, if you’re a true Porsche aficionado you already knew all this; and if so, there’s not a lot more that

Mini challenges Porsche to race, Porsche chickens out?

Pity poor Porsche. In the last few years, they’ve been ridiculed for building superfast and super-ugly SUVs like the Cayenne, and the hugelycompetent-but-strangelystyled Panamera four-door, as well as having upstarts like the Nissan GT-R try to wrest the practical supercar crown away from their beloved 911 lineup.

Now, here’s a pint-sized groin punch from Mini, as the BMW-owned English marque has thrown down the Nomex gauntlet at Porsche’s feet. The President of Mini U.S.A. (no, not a tiny version of Barack Obama), Jim McDowell, offered the challenge as part of a viral video campaign, offering to pit their Cooper S against the 911 Carrera S. While the Mini gives up more than 200 horsepower on paper, Mini claimed confidence that their car’s much-vaunted go-kart handling would make them

2010 Porsche 911 Turbo

Porsche nears perfection Columnist DAVID CHAO reviews the 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer next week in REV

INTRODUCED in 2005, the sixth generation of Porsche’s legendary 911 has received nothing but praise — and the new, seventh-generation car is even better.

The 2010 911 design takes things up a notch from a car that was already impressive, offering cuttingedge technology, exceptional styling, and the lively, energetic feeling that 911 owners love so much.

On the “low” end, there’s the base Carrera, all-wheel drive Carrera 4, and the glasstopped Targa 4, available in coupe and cabriolet body styles, and performancetuned “S” versions. Then there are the top dogs. The

Behind The Wheel David Chao

GT3 RS is the model for a track-ready sports car, and the slightly-relaxed GT3 brings that performance to the road.

Then there’s the GT2 RS, boasting a ridiculous 620 h.p. and a 0-100 km/h time of 3.5 seconds.

But none of them can really compare to the 911

Turbo, an iconic car for generations. As the name implies, the most beloved of 911s comes with twin turbochargers bolted to its flat-six engine, leaving it second only to the GT2 RS in terms of raw horsepower.

The Turbo is everything you could want in a pure sports car, requiring a firm hand to keep it planted, and rewarding that control with breathtaking performance.

The steering wheel feels like a direct extension of your arm, and the brakes let you know exactly how much stopping power is necessary. Unbelievable grip makes the Turbo virtually untouchable on the track, while a controlled and supple suspension enables it to serve as a surprisingly comfortable everyday car.

ERGONOMICS are better than the previous generation 911, but the controls are still a bit too low on the dashboard — one of the Porsche’s only flaws.

Porsche Museum offers a taste I can tell you. So do yourself a favour and take a trip to Stuttgart, Germany, where you can check out the Porsche Museum at Porsche Headquarters. Originally built in 1976, the museum reopened in 2009 after a major expansion, and now features 80 vehicles and numerous small exhibits, including famous

cars from throughout Porsche’s history. If you can’t afford a Porsche of your own — and most of us can’t — a visit to the Porsche Museum might just be the next best thing.

Even better, take the Porsche factory tour, which provides a close-up view of the most fascinating factory in the world.

From page 45

Design The 911 has never undergone a complete restyling — the unmistakable design has simply evolved, such that you can still see the resemblance between the newest and oldest 911s.

Meanwhile, the Ferraris, Corvettes, and Mustangs of the world have undergone major redesigns over their lifespans.

It’s not the “whale tale” of the past, but the Turbo’s ever-present spoiler (which automatically extends and retracts depending on speed) is the key styling feature that sets it apart from lower-end 911s, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Still, the car maintains a seemingly calm and relaxed demeanour that separates it from the racetrack-oriented GT3, GT3 RS, and GT2 RS variants.

If elegant interiors are your game, you’re better served

by a Mercedes-Benz. In contrast, the Turbo’s simple and straightforward interior is all business, and that’s just what Porsche owners want.

While design and build quality have improved over the years, the 911 retains the raw, customized feel of a hand-built car.

I love the design — and based on the feedback you get when you drive around the town, everybody else feels the same.

Performance Combined with twin turbochargers and matching intercoolers, the new 3.8-litre flat-six engine generates a phenomenal 500 h.p. and 480 foot-pounds of torque and propels the 911 Turbo from 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds.

Canadian karting kid hired to race for Ferrari From page 44

victors on the track. McDowell even promised to wear a T-shirt reading, “We didn’t beat Porsche,” if Mini lost the contest.

Porsche, perhaps wisely, announced that they’d prefer to keep Mini at arm’s length, much like Andre The Giant holding back a windmilling Hulk Hogan. Read the sneers between the lines: “We’ll stick to racing the way we have over the decades.

We welcome you at Sebring, Le Mans, Daytona or any other sanctioned race where there is more at stake than T-shirts and valet parking spaces.”

Cue aircraft buzzing over Porsche’s Stuttgart headquarters on Tuesday, trailing a banner reading “Dear Porsche, Bring it!

Love, Mini.” Don’t these people have cars to design?

Next Subaru STi to be available with diesel Just to be clear, that’s diesel-powered, not Vin Diesel.

Either way, it looks like fans of Fuji Heavy Industries’ heavy weapons division are going to have a new type of powerplant to drool over. With rising restrictions on carbon dioxide emissions and increasing worldwide fuel prices, Subaru has indicated through the rumour mill that there may be a dieselengined version of their STi road-going rally-car, although it may be a European model only.

What would a diesel STi sound like? Well, it’d sound like a tractor-trailer, obviously, but one with a flat-four engine making around 200 h.p. and 300 foot-pounds of torque. Over at Mitsubishi, similar environmental concerns are getting the engineering teams scratching their heads over what to do with the STi’s main rival, the Lancer Evolution.

While both vehicles are fairly similar — four-wheel-drive, turbocharged pocket rockets capable of humbling much more expensive machinery — the two differing company philosophies are highly evident, with Mitsubishi taking the high-tech road with efforts to develop a hybridized system still capable of sub-five-second 0-100 km/h acceleration times, and Subaru opting for the old school workhorse diesel route.

Both interesting possibilities, surely, but with the current buzz in the Subie community being the leaked YouTube video showing rally driver Tommi Makinen behind the wheel of a specially-prepped Subaru STI that blitzes the Nürburgring in seven minutes and 55 seconds (faster than an M5, AMG Mercedes or Cadillac CTS-V, if you’re counting), the question remains: “Are we seeing the last of the fast cars?”

Eleven-year-old karting champion contracted by Ferrari Racing Canadian karting champion Lance Stroll is the luckiest kid ever. First of all, he’s Canadian, and we all know how that goes (14 gold medals, booyah!). Second of all, he’s an incredibly talented pint-sized driver who’s going to grow up to drive real cars very fast, and be able to confidently walk up to beautiful

women and say, “Hi, my name’s Lance. I drive racecars.”

Lastly, and this is the icing on the cake, he just got signed by Ferrari.

Now, it’s not unusual for Ferrari to sign someone who’s still on the junior race circuit, but it is strange for them to bring a driver on board who won’t be able to get a driving licence for another five years at least.

Stroll is the youngest driver ever recruited by Ferrari, and will be sent to the Ferrari Driving Academy in Maranello.

Nissan Leaf tackles EV road safety As you read this, Nissan’s Leaf is basically ready for production. Various publications have been driving around in prototypes and pretty well universally reporting that the all-electric car actually feels like, well, a car. It remains to be seen what real-world range will be, and whether or not the price will be affordable for the average consumer who might be considering it as an alternative to a hybrid vehicle, but the Leaf is on its way, and it’s poised to be the first real majormanufacturer-supported electric vehicle.

But there’s one small problem: hybrids like the Prius have already come under fire from various pedestrian-safety groups (and particularly groups looking after the welfare of the visually-impaired) for being too quiet. A blind person stepping off the curb can fairly easily hear a normal combustion engine, but the faint humming of a hybrid running on electrics — or, for that matter, a full-electric vehicle — is very hard to detect.

Nissan is currently working to develop and evaluate an easily recognizable “approaching vehicle sound” both for the Leaf, and later Infiniti hybrid models. Suggestions? How about the soundtrack to the Jetsons, or perhaps the Victory March?

Actually, if any noise is going to be programmed in, you might as well give the Leaf the sonorous tenor of an Italian V-12 engine. Just no autotune.

improves those numbers to 530 h.p. and 516 footpounds of torque.

With a rear-mounted engine and all-wheel drive, it

feels like there’s a jet engine propelling the 911 Turbo.

Even though it’s been watercooled since the introduction of the last model, it still sounds like the classic aircooled engines that made the

911 famous.

The six-speed manual gearbox is solid and precise, rewarding purposeful shifts with instant power. However, the latest technology comes in the form of the seven-speed, dual-clutch Doppelkupplung transmission, which replaces the outgoing TipTronic automatic that paved the way for paddle shifters.

Handling is about as close to perfect as it gets; steering is neutral and tracks straight, and the feedback from the road is exceptional. You can tell exactly when the rear wheels are about to lose their

grip on the road, making it easy to push the car right to the edge.

You’d expect ride comfort in a car like this to suffer, but that’s not the case. Porsche did an amazing job with the previous 911 Turbo, and that work has carried over to its replacement. As a result, the Turbo is as comfortable to drive around town as it is satisfying to throw around the track.

Environment The 911 Turbo’s seats are fantastic; the side bolsters grab you and hold you in place, and a tilt-and-telescope

steering column enables anyone to find a good driving position.

You still get the tiny rear seats, but at this point it’s really just about keeping up the 2+2 appearance. It’d be far more useful to convert the rear into dedicated storage space.

Ergonomics are better than the previous car, but the controls are still a bit too low on the dashboard, hiding at the bottom of the cliff-like centre console. It takes some time to figure out where they are by touch, which will leave most drivers looking away from the road, and there are no buttons mounted on the steering wheel other than the optional paddle shifters.

What the Vette lacks in class, it makes up for with brute force. Still, while the Chevy is America’s favourite sports car, the 911 Turbo is a true supercar.

AMG with its throwback gullwing doors. It represents the pinnacle of Mercedes design.

Nissan GT-R For $99,500, the GTR features a 3.8-litre V-6 generating 485 h.p. and 434 foot-pounds of torque, a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, and all-wheel drive.

We waited seemingly forever for Nissan’s muchanticipated supercar, which seems purpose-built to take on the 911 at a fraction of the cost. However, while the GT-R is a relative bargain, it would be hard-pressed to match the Porsche’s spirit.

WHAT the 638 h.p. Chevrolet Corvette lacks in class it makes up for with brute force.

Infections spread through noxious clouds of windshield washer water

From page 47

water instead of windshield washer fluid can effectively turn your car into a biological weapon.

Commonly associated with poorly constructed ventilation systems, hotels, cruise ships, and other closed systems, the Legionella bacterium is easily transmitted through aerosolized water droplets. Infections usually result in fever, chills and coughing, and in serious cases can lead to full-blown pneumonia.

Now a study in the U.K. is pointing to

thrifty drivers and their tendency to fill their car’s windshield washer reservoir with plain water, creating a nice warm breeding ground for all sorts of nasty bugs. Then, press the spray button at a stop light, and your car releases a noxious cloud of infection.

Regular window cleaners will kill off the bacteria, so try to avoid the temptation to cheap out. And, as always, stay away from the squeegee kids.
