North Van police seek man who set ﬁre to his wife James Weldon jweldon@nsnews.com

NORTH Vancouver RCMP have put out a Canada-wide plea for information to help them track down a man who set his common-law wife on fire and then kept her from hospital for two weeks to hide his crime. Jeffrey Paul Emery, 53, has been on the run for five years, since he skipped his trial and was convicted of aggravated assault in absentia. Emery was at home with his thenspouse in the 200-block of Riverside Drive on April 13, 2004 when they got into a fight. He accused her of having hidden his medication, and when she didn’t produce it, he doused her in hairspray and set her on fire. Emery smothered the flames when they had only burnt her legs, and asked the victim again for the medication. She said she didn’t know where it was, so he set her on fire a second time. The results were devastating. “She erupted in a fireball, causing thirddegree burns to her arms, legs, torso, . . . thighs,” said North Vancouver RCMP Cpl. Peter DeVries, speaking at a press conference Wednesday. “Much of her hair was burned off, and See Wife page 5

Saxton backs voluntary long census Benjamin Alldritt

balldritt@nsnews.com

NORTH Vancouver’s Conservative MP Andrew Saxton says the federal government’s decision to make the long-form census voluntary rather than mandatory will actually make the results more accurate. He made the remarks on the same day the head of Statistics Canada resigned in protest over the move.

Claims mandatory long-form census not taken seriously

“We’re not talking about getting rid of the long-form census,” said Saxton. “What we’re talking about is changing it from mandatory to voluntary. Experience has shown that when someone is made to ﬁll out a form they often don’t take it seriously because they have to ﬁll it out.” The short-form census, which will remain mandatory, asks only

A tale of rescue and inspiration

An unusual survival story continued The North Shore News ran a miracle dog story Sunday. Under the headline Dog Beat Odds to Survive, reporter Lara Howsam chronicled the heart-warming story of Honey, an 11-year-old dachshund with a heart condition, being returned to its owners after surviving almost four weeks in the woods. Denise Beirnes, the dog’s owner, was understandably distraught when reunited with her pet and failed to take the name of the rescuers. She said in the story she wished she knew who they were. Denise Beirnes, meet the Sayler family. Kelly Sayler contacted the News Monday to say: “My family was thrilled to see your story on Honey the dog in the paper yesterday. We are the ones who found Honey and it was a real rescue operation.” What follows is the account of Honey’s rescue by Sayler’s husband, Ken.

Ken Sayler Contributing writer

IF you spend anytime outdoors on the beautiful North Shore you have seen your share of posters for missing pets fixed to trees and trail — some even covered in make-shift plastic to give a family loved one every chance. We live surrounded by ravines and wildlife that includes bears and coyotes, so I’ve always figured lost pets don’t generally stand a chance and my response to these posters has always been cynicism. Then July 2, that sunny Friday afternoon, I was hiking in the Capilano Canyon near our old home when I noticed something moving amongst the rocks across the river. It was a small dark longbacked dog with floppy ears slowly weaving head-down through the large river rocks. I knew the other side was steep and showed no trails, I had never seen anyone over there. The current was strong and this dog was heading upstream into wilder territory. He was moving very slowly. I called out, but the dog didn’t hear me. Eventually it rested on a small sandy patch facing me. I rock-hopped to the waterline and knew it noticed because the dog started barking and didn’t stop. I could tell it was struggling though; the dog didn’t see or hear as much as know someone was out there to bark at. I phoned home. My six-year-old son, Ridge, had been watching animal-rescue shows and says he wants to be an “animal saver” when he grows up, so I figured he would know what to do. I waited, balancing on the rocks, talking across the water to my new friend and keeping a watch out for bears and eagles. The dog just wouldn’t “sit,” and I became more worried when it seemed to

I called out and the dog threw a small bark over its shoulder like it had given up on me and disappeared among distant upstream rocks. But shortly afterwards it wandered back and retraced its route downstream. A shiny collar flashed in the sun, and it was then I got the sense the dog had been there a while. A five-person rescue entourage was mobilized from our home and drove and hiked to the limits of safety on the other side of the canyon. Via my cellphone, I heard that a steep wet gravel slope had stopped them. My wife Kelly braved the slide down, while the rest of the gang piled back into the car and drove over to join me. My brother-in-law Craig said Kelly was crazy. At first the dog was scared, so Kelly sat and waited. Eventually the dog allowed her to pick it up and she carefully negotiated submerged rocks and carried it across the water. The kids were very pleased with the entire operation. The dog looked like a sack of bones and it’s eyes were crusted

nearly shut. Kelly said with a twinkle that the animal had melted into her arms like “honey” — which turned out to be the name on the tag. There was a phone number too. I called on my cellphone right there. A woman answered. Ridge and his friend Evan announced they had found her dog. Evan’s mom, Nicole, recalled the woman sounded initially wary, perhaps fearing the worst, but soon was speechless with excitement. She could not believe Honey was still alive and stammered directions for the reunion. We spent an hour in the canyon and our injury report included a bruised tailbone and hand abrasions for Kelly and a bee sting for Ridge. The much-relieved owner said Honey was lost in that area for more than three weeks, near a month. Quite a feat of survival and an inspiration for anyone looking for some, I think. The experience was capped-off for me when Ridge loudly declared he would have taken a hundred bee stings to save Honey. Inspiring indeed.

forms, Industry Canada plans on sending the new voluntary form to a third of all Canadian households. “A lot of people take offence at telling the federal government how many bedrooms they have in their home,” Saxton said. “It’s none of their business. They took offence that it was mandatory and they didn’t ﬁll it out and they were threatened with prosecution. That’s what the federal Liberals are advocating; that people be threatened with jail. We don’t think that’s the way to go. “We intend to keep a long-form voluntary census which will in fact have a larger sample size so it should be more accurate. We want to make sure the information we’re collecting is relevant because if they are being forced to do it, we have to look at a better way. We believe this is a better way of collecting information, and at the end of the day we should have more accurate information,” Saxton said. His comments came shortly after Munir Sheikh, Statistics Canada’s chief statistician, abruptly resigned. In a brief statement posted on

the agency’s website, Munir said he was legally barred from divulging exactly what advice he had given Industry Minister Tony Clement. However, he wrote, “this relates to the question of whether a voluntary survey can become a substitute for a mandatory census. It cannot. Under the circumstances, I have tendered my resignation to the prime minister.” “I do sincerely hope that my successor’s professionalism will help run this great organization while defending its reputation,” wrote Sheikh, a career civil servant who holds a master’s degree and a doctorate in economics. Sheikh’s departure follows protests from a long, eclectic list of groups concerned about the integrity of the national census. The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, the Canadian Medical Association, the Toronto Board of Trade, the United Way, the Canadian Labour Congress, the chief economist at Toronto Dominion Bank and many others signed a letter urging Clement to revisit the decision. Richard White, director of community development for the City of North Vancouver, also has serious concerns about abandoning the mandatory long-form census.

“We use the data a ton,” he said. “We use it a lot in the analytical work we do that justiﬁes and supports changes to zoning or community development, social planning, multiculturalism, budgeting, a bunch of different things. “The richness of the data will be reduced because it’s a different kind of process that they go through. Right now it’s random so you get a pretty good certainty. That’s why the statisticians are all wound up: the quality of the data will be reduced because it’s self-selecting. Policy wonky kind of people will be submitting stuff, but the broad cross-section of the public is hardly likely to have the same interest in the long-form census.” White said renters, new Canadians and those with language difﬁculties will be the least likely to voluntarily complete the census, making them largely invisible to policy planners. “That’s the worry. By self-selecting you get the people who are more inclined to be participatory and lose the ones that aren’t and they are the ones you really want to enumerate. What happens with the results of the census is that it shapes the way the federal and provincial government funds things. They fund on a percapita basis and you might lose some of the

people that are most worthy of support.” The consequence of this, said White, will be a distorted picture of Canada’s population. “They can hardly say this is representative of the community when it’s self-selecting. On a regional level, there will be areas with very low response, say the Downtown Eastside, versus some areas like White Rock where there’s a high level of stable population and they’ll be overrepresented. I guess Statistics Canada will have to do some data manipulation because they can’t say on a regional basis we look a lot like White Rock all of sudden. It doesn’t make any sense.” On Monday, City of North Vancouver council passed a resolution calling on Ottawa to reverse the decision. In a 6-1 vote, Coun. Rod Clark was the lone vote against the resolution. “The federal government did the right thing in going against the long-form census and I think eventually they’ll see the reasoning in not having a census at all,” said Clark. Coun. Guy Heywood disagreed and said, “It is just silly wedge politics being played by a rightwing government to frustrate most of public policy in the country. . . .”

the skin started peeling from her body.” Emery, fearing discovery, refused to call an ambulance. Instead, he put her in a bath of cold water to sooth the wounds. For two weeks, Emery prevented the woman from leaving home to seek medical attention, or even to see her two children who were in care at the time. He kept her confined, treating her injuries with ointment. The RCMP only got wind of the woman’s predicament when a relative reported it to them. When questioned, Emery told investigators the woman had been burned by an exploding propane canister, but the evidence suggested otherwise, according to police. The man was arrested and charged, and in December 2004 he stood trial. Before it could reach a conclusion, the court adjourned for the holiday, and Emery was released to the care of his brother in Sorrento, B.C., on a promise to appear when court resumed. The day after his release, he fled. Authorities have not seen him since. Despite his absence, Emery was convicted in 2005 and sentenced to two years and eight months in jail. A Canada-wide warrant was issued for his arrest. Investigators have been following up leads for the past five years, said DeVries. In 2008, the detachment published a release circulating Emery’s description and asking the public for

information. The effort generated a few tips, but ultimately none panned out. This time, the police are making more effort to draw attention to the crime. DeVries appeared at Wednesday’s news conference in front of enlarged photos of the fugitive and of the victim’s gruesome injuries, which have been released publicly for the first time. “We hope that someone who knows him or who has seen him will be as compelled by these photos as we are,” said DeVries. “We’re disgusted by this type of assault; this is horrendous. We’re hoping someone else in the public will feel the same way . . . and be prompted to call us.” (The injury photos can be seen at www. nsnews.com.) Emery is Caucasian, 54 years old, six feet three inches tall, 225 pounds with gray wavy hair and hazel eyes. He may have a beard. Emery is a skilled handyman, particularly with boats, leading police to suspect he may have settled near water to find work. He requires prescription medication, meaning he will have to see a doctor and pharmacist regularly. “One of you may have met Mr. Emery. He may be your neighbour; he may have worked on your boat; he may work in your marina. . . . Maybe you’re his doctor or his pharmacist,” said DeVries. “We need to find this man and we need your help.” Anyone with information is asked to contact the North Vancouver RCMP at 604-9985-1311 and ask for Const. Chad Raymond.

StatsCan’t I

T’S hard to understand exactly what motivated the federal Conservatives’ decision to scrap the mandatory long-form census in favour of a voluntary version. Anyone who has ever done any planning knows accurate information makes for better decisions. By sending out nearly two million more long forms and allowing people to self-select, we are simply spending more money to get less accurate information. The folly of this move is clear to economists, charities, business groups, professional associations, labour organizations, religious groups, local governments and many others who have spoken out — including the prime minister’s home town of Calgary. It was immediately obvious to the internationally respected professionals

at Statistics Canada. Statscan chief Munir Sheikh chose to quit rather than be complicit in gathering faulty data. There goes someone who understands the principles of his profession. If our Conservative MPs were not all dropped on their heads as children, it is worrying to consider what the goal of this census skewing really is. Can it be just to mollify those who prefer to keep the number of bedrooms they have a closely guarded secret? A self-selecting survey will inevitably over-represent older, more established, afﬂuent and educated people while skipping over the young, the poor, the transient and those who struggle with English. This will produce a picture of Canada in 2011 far rosier than reality. Canadians deserve a government that deals in facts, not fakery.

Is there a gender gap in James’ popularity? DON’T you hate inconsistent people? I do. I’m one of them.

But I digress. Today’s topic is B.C. New Democratic Party leader Carole James. Speciﬁcally, why is she dismissed — at least by the powerful oracles of the media who mill around the mainstream and explain all mysteries — as unsuccessful? A complete inventory of her record will not follow. But, in sum, James has led the NDP out of its dark days of defeat, confusion, ineptness and scandal. She has made the odd slip, as even journalists do, but she has provided that underrated political commodity, competence. No political leader is far from the glint of knives, even when sheathed, but she has calmed the mad wing of the party while rebuilding a sound front bench starring Mike Farnsworth and Adrian Dix. Unless I misjudge her — and I sweetly remind you that I was a pioneer judge of Blair Wilson and Kash Heed — she

This Just In

Trevor Lautens is a good person. James may prove to be a “transition” leader. (We are all in transition — and to a rather sticky end, just as a reminder.) If polls matter, her party currently buries the governing Liberals, 46 to 23 per cent. Angus Reid tested the popularity of Premier Gordon Campbell and James over the previous three months. Seventy-two per cent of those polled said their opinion of Campbell had worsened, but 18 per cent said the same of James. Vaughn Palmer, the

Vancouver Sun’s brilliant columnist — no irony there — suspects the latter is explained by James allowing Bill Vander Zalm to seize leadership of the dizzily successful anti-Harmonized Sales Tax movement. I’m not sure James was unwise. The movement may have crested. Its legs are less likely to be the tax itself but rather (one leg) Campbell’s perceived duplicity and (second leg) the last-minute ride of half a dozen business groups to head off at the pass the anti-HST referendum, and legalistically foil the plain will of more than 700,000 British Columbians. This, where it wasn’t venal, was lemming-stupid. The Liberals may rue the day their pals threw them a lead life preserver. (And then forgot to let it go.) In short, James seems to this observer to have done modestly, astonishingly, incrementally well. Why so little credit? Partly, of course, because B.C.’s polarized politics will

endure long after the actual poles melt into sunny holiday resorts. British Columbians vote against. The majority has usually found it easier to vote against the NDP than for it. (If efﬁng blunderer Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson is allowed back into the NDP’s provincial tent, all bets are off.) But also, I suspect, because James is a woman. You won’t ﬁnd one man in the political, media and other elites to admit to a gender bias. That is because what I kindly call “mouth liberals” are thick on the ground. Privately, they have prejudices (and, let us concede, “postjudices,” another of my many inventions) that they wouldn’t dare reveal. More: Many women share that prejudice. Ask your best women friends whether they’d prefer a man or a woman boss. You may be shocked at their answers, if you are so naïve as to believe the papers, politicians, academics, university students, café intellectuals,

and bicycle activists. And here is my disgraceful inconsistency. I scorn feminist ideology, especially since reading Susan Brownmiller. Millions disagree with me, including some anonymous women at the University of Victoria who once mailed me a venomous package containing the f-word and a ﬁsh head. But I have no trouble at all with women in positions of power, such as in politics, literature or bed. I have always thought that on the whole women are superior to men in the brain way. I feel no prejudice toward unpleasant women that I wouldn’t generously share toward equally unpleasant men. Not to burden you further, but I hold to the eccentric theory that feminism isn’t a movement by women at all, but by the sinister materialistic state, whether capitalist or communist or whatever, to roust women out of their homes, disconnect them from husbands and children, and lure them into the “liberation” of being good little producers

and consumers. A male-made trap. (They said Columbus was crazy too.) I wrote a ton more this week expanding my theory, backing it with the cautionary tales of Kim Campbell, Rita Johnston and Alexa McDonough. But the editors won’t give me the 10,000 words I need. Wait for it.

••• Speaking of gender, I had a bizarre dream recently. I dreamt that the next governorgeneral was a white, married (to a woman) male! A father! And an Anglican! Don’t wake me. ••• And speaking of taxes, any leftover anger about the HST should be aimed at a report by the Metro Vancouver regional authority — the old Greater Vancouver Regional District with false whiskers — suggesting a one-per-cent piggyback tax on the HST that would raise $450 million.

NDP should continue to bite their tongues

ONE of the more irritating aspects of our parliamentary system is that the role of the ofﬁcial Opposition is often ill deﬁned. It’s not just about opposing everything the government does.

But too often Opposition parties do just that — oppose everything — and if they take a holier-than-thou stance on everything, it can come back to bite them should they ever move into government. We are seeing that maxim play out continually with the B.C. Liberal government. The issues on which they can be accused of hypocrisy — saying and demanding one thing while in Opposition, and doing the precise opposite in government — are piling up. The latest reminder is the decision to expand government gaming operations — yet again — to include online casino gambling. The move makes sense, although it will be condemned by the puritans out there, who regard any kind of gambling as some sort of social evil that should be eradicated, not expanded. Gambling will occur

whether the government is involved in it or not, so the more the government can control gambling, the better. The gaming industry creates enormous revenues for “the house,” and the billion dollars or so British Columbia collects every year helps fund social services, education and health care. But this argument seemed to have been lost on B.C. Liberals when they were in Opposition. They engaged in bouts of self-righteous indignation whenever the NDP government of the day tried to expand gambling (for

WV council sees the big picture Dear Editor: Readers’ letters on July 11 and 14 suggest that the West Vancouver council does not consider the needs of dog owners and has “broken faith” in rejecting expanded dog access to the West Vancouver Seawalk — especially the section from 19th to 24th streets. An enquiry at district hall indicates that there are roughly 16,340 “dwelling units” in West Vancouver. There are also just some 2,900 registered dog licences. As some owners may have more than one dog then it is quite likely that only some 16 per cent of West Vancouver residents own dogs, i.e. one in six residents. It would seem that this “minority” of residents are already well served by the present fenced-off dog-walk area and the dog-speciﬁc area at Ambleside Park. The majority of non-dog owners have already recognized the need to “share the path” and the present system works well. Congratulations to West Vancouver council in looking at the overall picture and not the minority and somewhat myopic view of a few dog owners. John Hill West Vancouver

instance, the introduction of slot machines and the creation of more casinos). With the zealotry of religious fanatics, Gordon Campbell and his caucus attacked the NDP as immoral monsters hell-bent on destroying our social fabric. Naturally, once they became government, the B.C. Liberals learned to love gambling and the money to be made off it. Now they stand accused, yet again, of rank hypocrisy on this issue. But spare them no tears, because there are other examples of hypocrisy that are attached to a government because of the unrealistic moral high ground it carves out when it is in Opposition. For example, the B.C. Liberals also went to town over what it viewed as a heinous amount of public debt being piled up by the NDP government. Our children — and our children’s children! — would inevitably pay for this ﬁscal nonsense, was the constant refrain from the Liberals.

Government services would naturally be squeezed by the mounting debt. Or so the argument went. So what has happened to the debt while the B.C. Liberals have been in power? Has it gone down, or at least flat-lined? Well, no. The total government debt was $34 billion when the B.C. Liberals took power and it is forecast to hit almost $53 million next year. So much for the hysterical arguments heard in Opposition. The NDP’s general fiscal competence was derided by a sneering Liberal Opposition, yet the B.C. Liberals have shown equal ability in piling up huge budget deficits or tabling false budgets (the pre-election budget was a real whopper, as the latest public accounts reveal in great detail).

The list goes on: vicious attacks on the NDP over the issue of child protection, contrasted to ﬁghting with the independent children’s representative over service cuts and lack accountability on that very issue. Then there’s granddaddy of them all: an oft-repeated promise not to sell BC Rail, and then doing just that in a questionable transaction (to say the least, given there is a criminal trial mixed up with it). Piling up the hypocrisy begins to lend a stench to a government. Throw in the perceived deceitfulness associated with the HST, and the air is getting fairly ripe around the B.C. Liberals right now. Will New Democrats learn a lesson from this? With electoral victory in 2013 seeming more likely by the day, the NDP would be wise

to resist the temptation of cloaking themselves with moral piety, of pretending everything in government is so simple, and that everything the B.C. Liberals do these days is horrible. NDP leader Carole James has smartly backed away from automatically scrapping the HST. And the NDP hasn’t exactly said it will forgo any of the gambling expansion either. The NDP will need to provide some coherent, credible alternative policies to the Liberals. But if they overplay their hand, and make unrealistic statements like the B.C. Liberals did before they formed government, New Democrats may ﬁnd themselves a oneterm administration only. KBaldrey@globaltv.com Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

City advertising skateboard restrictions Boarding on certain streets is forbidden

Tessa Holloway

newsroom@nsnews.com

NEW signs rolled onto Lonsdale Avenue this week where City of North Vancouver ofﬁcials hope skateboarders will pick up their wheels. The mobile signs, put up this week on Lonsdale Avenue at Victoria Park, warn skateboarders not to use the busy street. While they were placed less than two weeks after the death of a longboarder in a July 9 collision on Mount Seymour Road, city engineer Steve Ono said that wasn’t behind the

signs’ appearance. He said it’s simply a matter of reminding people of bylaws they might not normally know about, especially since there are no permanent signs up on the street. “We’re just raising proﬁle and awareness of the prohibition of skateboarding on Lonsdale,” he said. “A lot of people, for whatever reason, don’t really like it.” Skateboarding is prohibited on Lonsdale south of the Upper Levels Highway, as well as parts of Esplanade, Carrie Cates Court, Chadwick Court, Chesterﬁeld Place, Marine Drive, 13th Street, 15th Street, 19th Street and several city plazas. Ono said the city receives regular complaints about skateboarders and sees skateboarders on Lonsdale from time to time despite the prohibition, but said permanent signs have not

been considered. Where can you ﬁnd what streets are OK for skateboarding? Go to www. cnv.org, click on City Hall and then Bylaws. Under Frequently Requested Bylaws is the Street and Trafﬁc Bylaw and the list of streets is in Section 408. It’s fair to say the rules are not well advertised. “In truth any community has a whole slew of bylaws that they’ve accumulated through the years,” said Ono. “I guess the duty really is on the individuals to try to be aware of the local laws.”

These deaths are a grave reminder of how fast a day at the beach, or spent splashing around the pool canturnwrongveryquickly.

Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail could be homeless in City FOLLOWING a series of presentations from the Paciﬁc Animal Foundation and other animal protection groups, the City of North Vancouver is studying a possible ban on the sale of rabbits as pets.

Coun. Craig Keating brought the motion forward a week after three residents asked council to consider the ban. Rabbits purchased as pets are often abandoned or lost. Those who don’t fall prey to coyotes or other predators can produce a new litter of bunnies every month. Several communities are struggling to deal with exploding numbers of wild rabbits, the University of Victoria being the most notable example. In May, the District of North Vancouver passed a bylaw requiring all rabbits to be spayed or neutered before being sold as a pet. Violators face a $150 ﬁne. — Benjamin Alldritt

••• And speaking more about taxes, much of the increase goes to the arrogant chubby felines of the enduring governments, the bureaucracy. Statistics in sufficient numbers dull the senses, but these, rounded up by municipal government scold David Marley, will suffice: In 2006 there were 14 West Vancouver town hall employees paid $100,000 or more. In 2008 there were 28. In 2009 there were 65 (a number slightly inflated by one-time contractual raises and an extra pay period — for all three North Shore municipalities, the 2009 figure was 183.) Between 2006 and 2009, embracing the worst economic dive since the 1930s, the total West Van payroll rose 25 per cent. It’s an outrage, but Victoria has decreed that police incomes are excluded.

2010– 2011 Season

Metro shrewdly commissioned Harry Kitchen for this study, an Ontario prof who can get out of town fast. He intoned: “The average annual increase in the property tax burden per capita for Metro Vancouver’s services over the past two decades has amounted to nothing more than the price of a couple of cups of coffee per year.” No kiddin’? Come back and explain my tax bills, professor. The increases could put a down payment on a coffee plantation.

••• And speaking of municipal politics, it’s infuriating that Victoria is imposing four-year terms on local government. If anything, terms should be cut from three to two years. A mayor is more unassailable in her domain than her federal and provincial counterparts. As chief executive ofﬁcer and political leader, without a formal partisan opposition and usually much less scrutinized especially by small-town media, she will have four bulletproof years to rule the town — four years to dispense patronage, favour cronies, punish perceived enemies, isolate those not on side, stroke special interests, fund personal projects, lift initiatives from the agenda when the heat is on and return them when it’s off, and let’s not overlook the well-meaning incompetent who can’t read her hydro bill let alone the town budget — or of course govern ﬂawlessly and to the eternal gratitude and adoration of the citizens. Obscured by Campbell’s current visible mistakes, this one may produce the most long-term damage. Oh, no — that’s the online gambling evil.

WHETHER he wants to admit it or not, Mose Allison is a legend. Not only has the American pianist and singer/ songwriter’s prowess for jazz and blues resulted in a successful career, but big names like The Who, Van Morrison, The Clash, Elvis Costello and Bonnie Raitt have all paid him tribute by covering his songs. Countless other musicians have been affected by his work — members of the Rolling Stones and Pixies included. “I don’t know whether I’ve had a major impact or not, but some people think that I have. Who knows? I don’t argue with ‘em,” the 82-year-old Long Island, New York, resident says. “I’ve been doing this 60 years and I’ve made a living at it so I’m happy,” he adds. Allison, after a lengthy break from the studio, was recently lured back in by producer Joe Henry.

The duo recorded Allison’s ﬁrst solo work in 12 years, entitled Way of the World, released on Anti. Allison, who performs more than 100 shows a year, is set to launch the Capilano University Performing Arts Theatre’s 2010/2011 season with a performance at the Vancouver East Cultural Centre Monday. Music entered Allison’s life at a young age, thanks to the piano in the house he grew up in the Mississippi Delta. “I was born on my grandfather’s farm, three miles south of Tippo, Miss., which is a crossroads and there’s nothing there,” he says. “There was a depot there when the train used to stop there but it doesn’t stop there anymore. There were about three general stores and a service station and a cotton gin and that was it.” Allison played his ﬁrst night club gig in Lake Charles, Louisiana in 1950. He went to school at Louisiana State University and graduated in 1952 before heading out on the road full time. “I played everywhere from Dallas to Florida, you name it,” he says. “I’d go to a town and if I was going to be there for a while, my wife would get a job and that’s the way we got by for several years. Then I heard that jazz musicians were making a living in New York.” Allison opted to head north and arrived in New

York in 1956. “Al Cohn helped me get started,” he says. “He was an established arranger and musician in the New York scene. I met his wife down in Galveston. I played behind her, she was a singer, and she told me if I ever got to New York to call Al and he helped me right away.” Allison played with Al and Zoot (Sims) for several years at the Half Note, as well as with Stan Getz and Jerry Mulligan. “I played with a lot of different people before I started making a living with a trio,” he says. “My record came out in ’57 and it got good reviews and I slowly started working with my own band.” In the years that followed, Allison continued to perform and record, as a solo artist, as part of ensembles as well as with other musicians. His talent has frequently been acknowledged by major names in the industry, for example, The Who — who popularized his song “Young Man Blues” in their live shows — as well as Van Morrison, who recorded Tell Me Something, The Songs of Mose Allison in 1996. “I’ve had a lot of covers and there’s been a lot of people that have covered my songs. In fact that’s what saved me pretty much from obscurity,” he See Producer page 22

Reel Life

Julie Crawford ■ Salt. Directed by Phillip Noyce. Starring Angelina Jolie, Liev Schreiber and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Rating: 7 (out of 10) “Who is Salt?” ask the ads for the new Angelina Jolie thriller. Well, apparently Salt is Wonder Woman, raised on Brady Bunch and borscht. If Salt, the movie, has an Achille’s Heel it is that Salt, the character, doesn’t: Salt (Jolie) is impervious to death. It’s almost as if special effects — those impressive stunts and car chases — have come so far that ﬁlmmakers have lost sight of what is humanly possible in a 24hour period. The comparisons will inevitably be to the Bourne ﬁlms, but even Jason Bourne wouldn’t risk playing Frogger with no less than three moving vehicles, and even he limped when he walked away from a nosedive car wreck. Not our Salt: she just slaps a maxi pad on her bullet wounds and gets on with it. Having said that, if you can get over her seeming indestructability, you will love the character’s moral ambiguity. Is she heroine or villainess? Patriot or traitor? While being tortured by the North Koreans Salt seems every inch the victim. Then she gets married; she learns

But just when she is on the cusp of being reassigned to a cushy desk job within the CIA, a supposed Russian defector named Orlov (Daniel Olbrychski) walks in and accuses her of being a Russian spy. And not just any spy, but one who was brainwashed from childhood on a steady diet of American TV and weapons training, in order that one day she could inﬁltrate American society and prepare for Day X, the day Russia will bring down

Bocce doc captures culture in transition Filmmaker Tracey Lebedovich debuts new work ■ Victoria Park – A Generation of Bocce, directed by Tracey Lebedovich screening at the Okanagan International Film Festival, July 21 to 25. For more information visit www. victoriaparkmovie.com.

Benjamin Alldritt balldritt@nsnews.com

FOR North Vancouver filmmaker Tracey Lebedovich, the story doesn’t have to be big to be beautiful. “I like finding beauty in the everyday,” she says. “Everyday people are actually really spectacular if you look at them. As an independent documentary filmmaker, it’s not the famous actors or politicians that inspire me. It’s regular, everyday people doing what they can do to make life better for themselves and for others. People that we often overlook and undervalue. People that each of us could find in our very own neighbourhoods, if we chose to look close enough. This documentary is my opportunity to tell the story of a few unknown, but very important Canadians that I see as a cherished neighbourhood institution and an important part of my city’s culture.” Back in 2007, Lebedovich was living in East Vancouver’s Commercial

Drive neighbourhood and on maternity leave from her regular job as an art director and graphic designer. “I had all this creative energy building up and nowhere to put it,” she recalls. But while taking walks with her young daughter Stella, Lebedovich noticed a group of men playing bocce in Victoria Park, a quiet piece of greenspace just a few blocks off The Drive. Day in, day out, the same men would return to the same park to play. Lebedovich’s curiousity was piqued. Having never made a documentary ﬁlm before and not speaking any Italian, Lebedovich was a bit intimidated at the thought of interrupting this tight-knit group. But she enlisted the help of the nearby Italian Cultural Centre, who sent someone to help make the necessary introductions. She was rewarded with a glimpse into one of the Lower Mainland’s countless tiny subcultures, a single thread of the city’s fabric. But Lebedovich soon realized that the story was about more than just bocce. “It started out just being about these guys, and I think bocce was the vehicle to tell their story. It was a vehicle to express their Italian-ness and it also gave them an opportunity to pass down something to their families.”

The Karim Family & Friends

“I know that the neighbourhood there is changing really quickly. When the real estate boom happened, East Van in particular got hit really hard. It’s positive for some people and it’s negative for others. That community was mainly Italian back in the heyday. These guys are getting older and their neighbourhood is getting less and less familiar and there are less and less of them still around. It’s this fading piece of the city’s history. I don’t think it’s going to be around when these guys leave.” Even Victoria Park itself was changing. The city closed the park for renovations in 2007 and the revamped greenspace, while improved, was inevitably different. “The park went through a major transformation,” says Lebedovich, “so I think it lost a bit of something for them. It used to be their park and now it’s everyone’s park — which is a good thing for everyone, but for them it’s another change they have to deal with.” Physical changes weren’t the only forces acting on the bocce players. While the numbers in Vancouver’s Italian community swelled during the post-war immigration boom, that ﬂow has dropped off to a trickle. And for the next generation, bocce doesn’t hold quite the same appeal as it does for their parents and grandparents. “That’s another issue of the changing times. All of their kids and grandkids were born in Canada so they’re more interested in a more traditional Canadian lifestyle: playing hockey and soccer and hanging out with their friends. So they don’t have anyone to hand over their culture and traditions to. It’s a weird dilemma for them. When they came over it was difﬁcult for them to be different

Spy swap gave Salt instant credibility From page 17

it seems. This might all have sounded like a bad Rocky movie were it not for the very timely and very true revelations last month that Russian spies were living in American suburbs and sending trade secrets back to the motherland. The arrests couldn’t have come at a better time to lend Salt’s narrative more credibility.

Director Phillip Noyce (the man behind those Jack Ryan thrillers in the ’90s) has crafted Kurt Wimmer’s screenplay into a lean and breathless ride (under 100 minutes), and the action never lets up. Jolie has earned her action stripes playing Lara Croft, in Wanted and in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, but her performance is still something of a wonder here. Tom Cruise was reportedly the ﬁrst choice to play Salt, and he must be kicking himself: no one does badass like Angelina, and Salt has sequel written all over it.

Cirque settles in for a summer of Kooza

Performances under big top at Concord Place ■ Cirque du Soleil presents Kooza at Concord Place until Sept. 5.

Lara Howsam lhowsam@nsnews.com

CIRQUE du Soleil’s blue and yellow Grand Chapiteau at Concord Place came alive last night with the opening performance of Kooza. The critically acclaimed touring show has set up shop in Vancouver for the summer with the production running until Sept. 5. Several of the 53 performing artists featured in Kooza have received international awards for their work, particularly in high wire and trapeze. Yulia Korosteleva, one of the trapeze artists in the show, was born in Russia and trained as a gymnast from the age of ﬁve. After retiring from gymnastics at 20 years old she studied public relations and See Korosteleva page 21

Korosteleva tagged along to an audition

From page 20

sports journalism for a year. When a friend attended an audition for Cirque du Soleil in Moscow she decided to tag along. Three months later a call came inviting her to Cirque headquarters in Montreal. “At that time I had no idea how big Cirque was,” Korosteleva says. She was cast as a fast-track tumbler for the show La Nouba in Disney World. “Ironically, I never went to

“It is a rough discipline,” Korosteleva says. “Your skin is not meant to be rubbed against the bars, it is like raw meat. You try and protect it but you get marks, it is hard to protect yourself from bruising.” In Kooza Korosteleva plays a rebellious young woman. She describes her character as a combination of “power, passion and rock’n’roll” and says bringing oneself into the character is an important part of connecting with the audience.

CIRQUE du Soleil returns to its origins in Kooza bringing together two circus traditions — acrobatic performance and the art of clowning. La Nouba,” Korosteleva says. “I was cast for this particular show that I never went to.” She became part of the traveling shows, Alegria and Saltimbanco, as a member of the house troupe. She built on her previous training as a gymnast and concentrated mostly on tumbling. “I never attended circus school,” she says. “Cirque took me as raw material, almost 10 years ago.” After her stints in the two shows were completed Korosteleva took some time off before joining Kooza as a solo trapeze artist.

“I would say it is close enough to who I am in reality. I mean I am not a teenager, but I love the style of it. Usually if you adopt the number you transform it to who you are. Even when two people do the same music, the same costume, the same number, it is still a bit different.” In Kooza she soars through the air high above Cirque du Soleil’s 260-degree circular stage. Korosteleva’s act involves difﬁcult twirls and twists where she locks herself to the bar with her muscular calves.

One of the difficulties with trapeze is that training time is limited. “Unfortunately time on stage is precious as we only get about two training sessions a week for half an hour or 45 minutes,” she says. To keep in shape Korosteleva does stretching, cardio and Pilates. Because they perform regularly maintaining her performance level is not too difficult. Most of her year is spent on the road. During the week off between shows, as Kooza moves to a new location, Korosteleva rests and prepares for the next performance. During her two weeks of holidays she tries to get home to Moscow as often as she can. After a decade with Cirque the trapeze artist is beginning to think about what comes next. “This year I am turning 30 and I am starting to think about children and family, but also I love my job,” Korostevela says. “I love it so much. I like the thrill of it,” she says. “The show I worked before, Saltimbanco, I lost it somewhere in the middle of the four years I did it. Here every time I go onstage I want to pee, it has been two years and I still get nervous. I like that, I like that it is still new for me.” Korostevela says she still sits up on the trapeze and marvels at how high she really is. “There are other jobs. You could be a bartender and make good tips but is it the same? Is it the same to say ‘I am a bartender,” than to say ‘I am a performer in the best circus in the world and I get to fly through the air?’ It is pretty different.” Kooza will be in Vancouver until Sept. 5.

laughs, “the fact that a lot of British rockers did my material.” If it weren’t for Henry, who’s worked with artists including Loudon Wainwright III, Allen Toussaint and Solomon Burke and is Madonna’s brother-in-law, Allison’s current album may never have materialized. “Joe Henry talked me into that,” says Allison. “I wasn’t figuring on recording. I met him on a gig in Düsseldorf, Germany. The gig went well and he said at the time he’d like to record me but I didn’t pay any attention to him. But he kept after me, he kept emailing my wife, (Audre), he got her on his side and so I finally decided, ‘He’s got a great reputation as a producer so why not?’” The Way of the World features a mix of originals and covers. For example, “My Brain,” while a completely new piece, is based on a Willie Dixon song that was inspired by a tune from Sister Rosetta Tharpe called “My Babe.” It proved to be a hit for Little Walter Jacobs in the ’50s. One cover, “This New Situation,” is a Buddy Johnson song that Allison first heard more than 40 years ago and had been looking for ever since. His daughter, Amy, a singer/songwriter as well, actually found it. “I’ve heard her sing since she was five,” says Allison. “She had a good ear and when we found this tune we decided to do it together.” While they had played together, and Amy had opened some shows for Allison, this was the first time they’d recorded a duet. Having had such longevity in the music industry and seeing it undergo so many changes, when asked about his journey, Allison attests his approach has been to let whatever happens, happen. “I don’t pay any attention to the music business,” he says. “I just go my own way and that’s it. I try to get jobs and play ‘em as well as I can and so forth and that’s what I’ve been doing for 60 years.”

SNAZZIE LADIES FACTORY OUTLET SALE

1 DAY ONLY

I asked myself that question when a shipment of hair-care products from Schwarzkopf Professional Canada arrived at my desk the other day. Along with bottles of Schwarzkopf’s new BC Time Restore shampoo, conditioner, satin spray and rinse-out treatment was a ceramic smoothing brush from Raincry. The brush is for medium to long hair, and designed to smooth thick and frizzy tresses or volumize ﬁne and limp locks. Salon tested and stylist approved, the brush’s unique anti-snag design “combines the best of a straightening iron

and brush, helping to eliminate your unwanted frizz while adding volume, and leaving your hair looking soft, radiant and smooth.” My own hairstyle — a shaggy bob — is too short to put to the test and so, with a hair appointment on my schedule, I took it to the salon for a trial blowout. My stylist, Dana Lyseng at Supernova the Salon, set it to work on a client’s shoulderlength hair. “It’s heavy,” she noted, gripping the cork handled brush and rolling it under the heat of the blowdryer. Ceramic plates aim to cut blowdrying time by half. The bristles are a blend of natural boar and

Intellect with Bite

Gone are the days when your canine companion could get by on a loud bark, a threatening growl or a momentary show of aggression. Nowadays it’s all about feelings and controlling those passive-aggressive tendencies.

Forget sad eyes and wagging tails, this is the age of sharpened intellects and what better way to imbue your dog with a more intelligent disposition than buying him a pair of Eye-Q Dog Spectacles. Watch as he intimidates the local mutts with his knowledge of the Classics, listen as he impresses the neighbours by howling Stravinsky’s 5th in G minor and ﬁnally, witness him turning up his snout at Reality TV.

Film explores bocce subculture

From page 18

so they wanted to blend in. But now their population is dwindling, it’s time for the next generation to take over and retain those traditions. But there are so few people coming over from Italy now. I think the culture is at risk of fading away.” The resulting ﬁlm — Victoria Park — was made with a tiny budget and was done “about 90 per cent” by Lebedovich herself. Her ﬁlm debut demonstrates, she says, that a little curiosity is more important than a lot of budget. “My message is to appreciate what’s around you and cherish these little bits of the city’s culture. They are an important part of what makes our city so great. I just want people to pay tribute to that. In 10 years, I want the story of these guys to still be around. Some of them have been there 45, 50 years. It’s pretty neat.”

LIBERO EMANUELE

March 06, 1925 - July 18, 2010 Libero passed away peacefully in his 85th year with his wife, children, grandchildren and extended family at his side on Sunday, July 18th at Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver. He will be greatly missed by his loving and caring wife Lucia; children Victoria (Barry), Gennaro (Ann), Jo-Anne and Matthew; his grandchildren Amanda (Nathan), Mark (Jamie), Eric, Jennifer, Lisa, Matisse and Ryan. He leaves behind one sister, Filomena (John), as well as many extended family members and friends that he gathered in his 54 years in North Vancouver. Libero crossed the Atlantic Ocean aboard the Saturnia in September 1956 with his wife, Lucia and their children, Victoria and Gennaro. They settled in North Vancouver which has been their home ever since. Libero worked for the City of North Vancouver until his retirement in 1982. He enjoyed making his own wine, which he willingly shared with his family and friends. He loved the outdoors and nature, especially fishing and traveling to the Interior with his hunting buddies. He kept busy working with his hands and could always be found in his garage tinkering with improving on and creating new projects. Libero and his wife Lucia also have a wonderful garden, one they love to share the fruits of with friends and family. In his later years, Libero could often be found soaking up the sun underneath the giant fig tree in their front yard. He was known for his sweet tooth and always had room for his wife’s homemade biscotti. He could be seen rain or shine, enjoying daily evening walks where he would meet and chat with new and old friends along the way. He loved to engage in lively conversation about any topic as he was always willing to share his perspective. In his retirement, he enjoyed traveling with Lucia and friends to Alaska, Hawaii, California, Mexico, and Europe. His love and devotion to all he knew was measured in his loyalty, dedication and willingness to always be available to help others in any way he could. He will lovingly be remembered for his wonderful sense of humour, expressive, sparkling sky blue eyes and mischievous smile. It was important to him that his children and grandchildren have a “better” life and his love, commitment and assurance to them was clearly demonstrated in his work ethic, support and devotion to them and Lucia. For him, the “better” life was the simple life. He lived a long, healthy and active life until his stroke in 2003. The last seven years of his life were made immeasurably better by the strength and courage of his devoted, loving, and supportive wife of 60 years, Lucia. His family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to the many friends and family who visited Libero and Lucia at home regularly, helping out in so many ways. Thank you to Dr. Sugar and the nursing staff at the Palliative Care Unit at Lions’ Gate Hospital. A special thank you to Dr. McWhinney, his family doctor of many years. In lieu of flowers please make donations to The Heart and Stroke Foundation of B.C. A prayer service will be held on Monday, July 26, 2010 at 7:30 P.M. and a funeral service will take place Tuesday, July 27, 2010 at 11:00 A.M. Both services will be held at Holy Trinity Parish, 2725 Lonsdale Avenue in North Vancouver.

Funeral Services

PRE-HST SAVINGS

EXTENDED

The Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) came into effect on July 1st, increasing the cost of funerals by 7%. In many cases, this amounts to an increase of $500 or more. While we assisted hundreds of families with their pre-arrangements prior to the July 1st deadline, many others were unable to complete their plans before the HST became effective. By planning ahead you will: • Relieve your family of the emotional and ﬁnancial burden an unplanned funeral can cause • Prevent emotional overspending • Lock in prices at today’s rates

We’re happy to announce we are extending the pre-HST savings – but only for a limited time. FIRST MEMORIAL FUNERAL HOME

Little Deuce Coupe fuels big dreams

THIS year the Toyota 4Runner got its ﬁrst redesign since 2003 and the new model improves on the already successful old model in nearly every way. It is available at Jim Pattison Toyota in the Northshore Auto Mall.

2010 Toyota 4Runner Columnist DAVID CHAO reviews the 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander next week in REV

Toyota’s SUV frontrunner Behind The Wheel David Chao

CHANGE has come to the long-lived Toyota 4Runner, and it’s long overdue.

Art of the Hot Rod by Ken Gross examines the evolution of the rebellious roadsters: Page 50

That’s not a criticism of last year’s model, which has held up quite well — it’s just that last year’s model came to us in 2003. Change wasn’t so much inevitable as it was necessary. After all, when you have a customer base as loyal as 4Runner owners are, you don’t want to keep them waiting too long. Now in its fifth generation, the 2010 4Runner takes everything that was good about the 2009 model and makes it better. It’s more refined, more stylish, more sophisticated, more . . . everything. It’s a traditional, truck-based SUV with a tough outer body covering a tougher underbody. Toyota offers five different SUVs, reaching out to a wide variety of consumers. The popular RAV4 competes in the

compact segment, while the full-size Sequoia is exactly the opposite. The Highlander is the friendly people mover, and the FJ Cruiser harkens back to the super-tough FJ40 4x4. For its part, the 4Runner combines the size, passenger/ cargo space and price of the Highlander with the offroading prowess of the FJ Cruiser. While the Highlander is designed purely for city use and doesn’t fare too well off the beaten path, the 4Runner is at home both on the street and in the wild. Similarly, the 4Runner provides space and convenience that the FJ Cruiser wasn’t designed to offer. What the 4Runner doesn’t bring to the table are the manners of the car-based Highlander. Eschewing a unitized body for the classic body-on-frame design, it prizes agility and ground clearance over handling and comfort. It’s intended for people who miss the pre-crossover SUVs that were essentially pickup trucks with extra seats. Viewed in this light, the new 4Runner is exceptionally well designed, but it’s not for those who are looking for true car-like crossovers. That being said, Toyota has made the choice pretty easy. If you want a relaxed and comfortable mid-size SUV, get a Highlander. If you need a tougher vehicle that can go off the beaten path, pick up a 4Runner. Either way, you really can’t

go wrong. Design This might be the ﬁrst 4Runner that could be described as imposing. The tall SUV has a rugged, hard-edged exterior that serves it well, with subtly bulging wheel wells that

provide a muscular stance. Existing 4Runner owners will appreciate the ongoing evolution of the styling. The proportions are largely the same as previous models, and

See High-quality page 43

THE 4Runner’s upright dashboard is all truck, with nononsense controls that reinforce its tough demeanour.

JUST listen to these lyrics from the Beach Boys’ “Little Deuce Coupe”: “And comin’ off the line when the light turns green, Well she blows ‘em outta the water like you never seen, I get pushed out of shape and it’s hard to steer, When I get rubber in all four gears.”

That’s right, illegal street racing. Brian Wilson is Vin Diesel. OK, not really, but still, listen to that close-harmony homage to hot-rodding and you can’t help wondering what possessed the mildmannered Beach Boy to pen a song about doing “a hundred and forty in the top-end ﬂoored.” At least, that’s something I’ve always wondered, up until checking out this year’s Deuce Days event in downtown Victoria. Turns out the Little Deuce Coupe has quite the following, as there were more than 900 cars there. 900! That’s an entire Northshore Auto Mall full of hot-rodded pre-’51 American Iron. Apparently the San Francisco contingent, 215 strong, booked out an entire ferry for the trip. Can you imagine the noise when it was time to unload? But what’s a Deuce anyway? Well, quite simply, it’s the most popular hot-rod ever. In 1932 (’32 being where the Deuce moniker comes from), Ford was still doing what Ford does best: bringing mobility to the people. Their Model B had various improvements over the Model A it produced, and was available in so many variants as to make modern See Dillinger page 49

details such as the roof rails and large C-pillar are all there. You can even still get the optional hood scoop! The interior is a huge improvement over the previous generation. The upright dashboard is all truck, with nononsense buttons and switches that reinforce the 4Runner’s tough demeanour. Overall, the new 4Runner feels like a much higherquality vehicle, and it should considering the improvements we’ve seen in materials and manufacturing over the past decade. This is particularly noticeable in the cabin, which gains a degree of sophistication missing from previous models. Performance The 4Runner’s 4.0-litre V-6 produces 270 horsepower and 278 foot-pounds of torque, generating more horsepower than the previous model’s 4.7litre V-8 and more torque than the previous V-6. As a result, Toyota has chosen not to offer a V-8 in 2010. A ﬁve-speed automatic is the only available transmission. SR5 and Trail Edition 4Runners feature a part-time 4WD system, while the Limited model gains full-time 4WD. While it may not be as easy to drive as a Highlander, the 2010 4Runner is dramatically improved over the 2009 version. It’s smoother and sportier, with better handling and ride quality. That being said, it does what most bodyon-frame vehicles do, diving forward when you brake and shaking noticeably in turns. Backcountry drivers will want the Trail Edition, which boasts a wide variety of off-road technologies including the Multi-terrain Select System, which enables the 4Runner to

THE 4Runner’s new V-6 engine produces more horsepower than the V-8 found in last year’s model. tailor wheel slip to the off-road conditions, a Multi-terrain ABS system that provides more control when braking, and Crawl Control. The latter feature sets the vehicle to a speed between 1.5 to 5 km/h so that the driver can concentrate on steering. In addition to the base suspension, Toyota equips the Trail Edition with a Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System focused on off-roading, while the Limited gets the X-Relative

Absorber System (X-REAS) for greater performance, comfort, and control. Environment Given the boxy exterior, it’s no surprise that there’s lots of room inside the 4Runner, which boasts excellent headroom in both the front and rear seats.

Land and sea NORTH Vancouver’s Burrard Yacht Club hosted their fourth annual Classic Boat and Car Show last month with vintage “woody” yachts and classic automobiles on display. Top left: Jim Black shows off the 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe that he has owned since 1961. The classic Ford has been outﬁtted with a 283-cubic-inch 1957 Corvette power plant with a three-speed Corvette transmission. Top right: Garth McBride stands on the deck of his 61-foot cruiser Olmaha built in the Martinac shipyards in Tacoma, Wash. in 1921. Donations taken at the event went to the Disabled Sailing Association of British Columbia, an organization dedicated to providing an opportunity for people with disabilities to enjoy sailing. The association operates eight specially designed Martin 16 sailboats and hosts up to 1,000 sailing experiences each year.

Features Starting at $36,800, the 4Runner is sold in SR5, SR5 Upgrade, Trail Edition and Limited trims. It tops out at $49,420 for the Limited with Navigation. Standard features include ABS, vehicle stability control, traction control, air conditioning, fog lamps, moonroof, tilt/ telescope steering, eight-speaker CD stereo, cruise control, keyless entry, power rear hatch, and front/knee/side/side-curtain airbags. Options, mostly found in the various trim levels, include the Kinetic Suspension System, X-READ sport suspension, Crawl Control, Multi-terrain ABS, heated seats, leather interior, dual-zone air conditioning, 15-speaker JBL sound system, Bluetooth, navigation system with backup camera, smart-key with push-button start,

support could be a bit firmer. The second-row bench seat splits 40/20/40 and has seatbacks that recline up to 16 degrees. Controls are logically placed, and the Trail Edition’s overhead console — which collects all of the off-road switches in one location — is a nice touch. Options in the cargo area include a third-row seat in the Limited Trim, or a sliding cargo floor that can hold up to 90 kilograms, making it easier to load and unload. While the third-row seats fold completely flat, the sliding floor is the way to go unless you need seven seats on a regular basis. One feature we’re still glad to see is the sliding window in the hatch. While some SUVs still have flip-up glass, most have completely abandoned opening rear windows.

A broken timing belt due to a missed maintenance interval can cause the engine to stop and potential engine damage can occur. Based on interval time or kilometers our Honda trained technicians will install a Genuine Honda engine timing belt and camshaft seal. We will also inpsect the engine water pump, crankshaft seal and accessory belts.

association. The good news is that almost all drivers surveyed are aware of B.C.’s distracted driving law implemented January 1, and the vast majority of those who previously talked or texted on a hand-held phone while driving now use hands-free devices, pull over to take or make a call, or have stopped using a cellphone while driving altogether. The bad news is that survey respondents said they frequently see others continuing to drive while holding a phone to their ear, and feel the likelihood of being caught for doing so is low. The survey was conducted online via BCAA’s website and monthly eNewsletter between June 22 and July 9, with 7,576 drivers participating. Of the two-thirds of drivers who said they talked on a cellphone while driving before the January 1 law, 84 per cent said they did so using a hand-held phone. And of those drivers who used a hand-held phone before January 1, 21 per cent said they have switched to hands-free, 35 per cent said they now pull over to make or take a call and 28 per cent said they have stopped using a phone while driving altogether. Nine per cent said they were using a hands-free device before the law and continue to do so. Only six per cent said they still talk using a hand-held phone, but most do so less than before the law. “It appears that most B.C. drivers are getting the message that using a hand-held communications device while driving is distracting and dangerous,” BCAA director of corporate communications and government relations Trace Acres said in the release. “It is particularly encouraging to see the significant number of drivers who either pull off the road to make or take a call, or are no longer using a phone at all.” On the flip-side, 77 per cent of survey respondents said they still observe other drivers talking on a handheld phone more than once a week, and 37 per cent said they see drivers texting on a hand-held device more than once a week. In addition, three-quarters of those surveyed said they feel the chances of being caught for texting or talking on a handheld while driving is either unlikely or very unlikely. “Some drivers, it seems, are still willing to risk the safety of themselves and others, and risk getting caught for the sake of making a call or sending a text,” said Acres. “Although the risk of getting caught for using a hand-held is perceived to be low, BCAA is confident that as more offenders are caught and word gets out, more will think twice before reaching for their hand-held device.” Other findings:

Grooming, newspaper reading cited as serious distractions From page 46

■ Before January 1, 16 per cent of those surveyed texted while driving. After January 1, of those who previously texted while driving, 51 per cent said they no longer do so and 32 per cent said they pull over to read or send a text. 18 per cent said they continue to text while driving, but less than before. ■ Reading a book or newspaper, or texting using a cellphone or PDA, were cited by survey respondents as the most dangerous driver distractions — followed by personal grooming, talking on a hand-held phone and holding a pet in your lap. ■ As for other distracting behaviours behind the wheel, 71 per cent say they see others eating or drinking more than once a week, 41 per cent

say they see someone holding a pet in their lap more than once a week, and 34 per cent say they see others performing personal grooming (styling hair, shaving, applying makeup) more than once a week. On the other hand, only two per cent of survey respondents admitted to either personal grooming or holding a pet in their lap, more than once a week. ■ A majority of survey respondents think the government has done a good job of publicizing the distracted driving law — 59 per cent said they feel the government’s efforts to inform and educate drivers about the law have been effective or very effective, while 54 per cent said the government’s efforts to educate drivers about the dangers of talking using a hand-held device have been effective or very effective.

Dillinger thanks Ford for fast getaway From page 42

car choices look boring: coupe, cabriolet, phaeton, delivery van, sedan, convertible sedan, roadster and the iconic “Woodie” station wagon. The best improvement Ford made? Making their flathead V-8 available in pretty much every model. This made the ’32 the first mass-produced car with V-8 muscle, although it wasn’t much muscle to begin with. The original flathead produced something in the neighbourhood of 65 horsepower, which meant that even a car we consider a bit weedy today, like a 106 h.p. Toyota Yaris, could theoretically kick sand in its face. However, the ’32 has several advantages over its cartoonish modern rivals. First of all, a V-8 Ford was cheap: $490 for a roadster. Secondly, it was light, with body-on-frame construction, and no safety equipment on-board unless you bought yourself a Bible and kept it in the glove compartment for Last Rites. Lastly, that flathead V-8 was just waiting for somebody to open it up, port the heads, bump the compression ratio, tune the carburettor, rig up a set of headers and straight-pipes, and just generally make it faster. But this was the ’30s, and few people who could afford a car were interested in making anything that we’d recognize as a “hot rod” today. Sure, there were cars that were fiddled with for

more power, but generally, they weren’t being modiﬁed for the fun of it, but for more nefarious reasons. Witness public enemy number one John Dillinger’s famous letter to Henry Ford, thanking him for “building the Ford V-8 as fast and as sturdy a car as you did, otherwise I would not have gotten away from the coppers in that Wisconsin, Minnesota case.” However, like many things in North American culture, the roots of all kinds of car-related activities can be traced back to the end of the Second World War and the inﬂux of G.I.s, marines, sailors and airmen, all of whom had money in their pockets and a desire to shake off authority after the rigid rules of armed service. Anybody who watches Mad Men knows what that ’50s era of prosperity was like in the East. Generally speaking, it was the factory workers and managers who had stayed home throughout the war that drove most of the boom. They had plenty of savings from the war years and spent them on the streamlined, bechromed behemoths of the ’40s and ’50s. These were lead sleds, big heavy cars built more for comfort than for speed. So what happened to all the light cheap Fords? Well, the keys to all those trade-ins were ending up in the pockets of returning

troops, and in the growing new cultural centre of Southern California, young men were stripping them down and building them up. The hot rod scene was both culture and counter culture; young people were rebelling against the staid world of fedoras and suburbs with rockabilly music, denim and speed. By the early ’60s, when the Beach Boys came on the scene, the mix of surf music, golden California beaches and hot rods was completely interwoven in the public conscience. Kids in wintry Maine dreamed of surf boards, bikinis, and a flat-black, flamed, flathead V-8 ’32 roadster. Eventually, with the dull, ponderous slowness that was to cause so many problems for them in later years, the major American car manufacturers caught on to the fact that the youth market favoured straight-line speed over deluxe interiors and thus started the pony car wars, and eventually the era of the muscle car eclipsed the hot rod in the popular imagination. Still, for the 900-odd hot-rodders that filled the streets around our province’s capital over the weekend, that dream of individualism and creativity is as strong as it ever was. Whether roadster, coupe or sedan, most of the cars would have been nearly indistinguishable to start with, but each has been treated like a blank canvas. Every possible variation was there, from See Deuce page 51

Mastering the art of the hot rod

■ Art of the Hot Rod, by Ken Gross, Motorbooks, 240 pages, $43.95.

IT started in Southern California more than 50 years ago as young men took old cars and turned them into eye-catching vehicles. It was all about style and speed. Today the passion for hot rods has continued to evolve and the creations of the modern era have as much ingenuity and presence as any concept car rolled out by a major automaker. And it is still all about style and speed. Author Ken Gross and photographer Peter Hardholt present 20 outstanding contemporary hot rods in this beautiful collection. Some, like the author’s own 1932 Ford Roadster, reﬂect an aesthetic that maintains the deﬁning elements of the original design. From there the designer, Dave Simard, has taken off with fabulous chrome-work and a powerhouse engine unfamiliar with dirt. For other custom builders the original design is simply the starting point for their own creative interpretations. Ken Fenical’s take on a 1937 Studebaker Extremeliner is all Art Deco lines and gorgeous wood and chrome fabrications. Most of the cars featured in the book are from the ’30s and appear with a series of colour photographs and an interview with the builder. — Terry Peters

Deuce still runnin’ free

From page 49

ZZ-Top-style three-window coupe with a ten-grand paint job, to checker-pattern engine bay and dog-dish hub caps, to “Big Daddy” Roth-style kustom, to original condition patina’d cars with blown Chevy 350s. Whether or not you’re a hot rodder yourself, without the inﬂuence of these cars and their owners, everyone would be driving near-identical cars, without the ability to choose spoilers or alloy wheels or even colours. Through them, the car became more than just transportation, it became a symbol of freedom of expression. As for myself, as a modern hot-rodder, I tip my cap at my predecessors and their stripped-out, hopped-up deuces. Mine might be a wagon, but like the song says, “you don’t know what I got.” Brendan McAleer is a freelance writer and automotive enthusiast.
