Time change can affect drivers

DRIVERS should be mindful this Sunday of how Saturday night’s clock change affects their ability to drive safely.

NEWS photo Cindy Goodman

AUDREY Meintjes of Vancouver Coastal Health showcases a scheme to remind drivers to take extra precautions because of the effect of daylight savings. The North Shore Injury Prevention Committee and VCH have created stickers and decals for drivers willing to set a good driving example within their neighbourhoods. Clocks go back on Sunday at 2 a.m. Pick up the decals at District of North Vancouver rec centres.

“The transition out of daylight savings time puts us out of sync with our circadian rhythm and this can pose some dangers on our roads,” said Dr. John Vavrik, a consulting psychologist with ICBC, in a written release. “Part of the problem can be that we anticipate getting an extra hour of sleep on this night but we fail to adapt properly because we overcompensate. We stay out longer, drive home later, so we actually end up more tired and less alert, particularly at the end of the days following the change when there is suddenly less light.” Disruptions to the body’s natural clock can lead to poor concentration, longer reaction times and decreased alertness. Vavrik said planning for extra See Exercise page 5

Campbell resigns as Liberals’ leader Benjamin Alldritt

PREMIER Gordon Campbell announced Wednesday he will step down as premier and leader of the B.C. Liberals. He called on his party to hold a leadership convention “at the earliest possible date.” In a press conference at a downtown Vancouver hotel, Campbell defended his record on economic issues, education, the environment, aboriginal relations and, in particular, the HST. “Yetitiscleartomethatthoseinitiativesarebeingovershadowed,” he said. “When public debate becomes focused on one person, instead of what is in the best interest of British Columbians, we have lost sight about what is important. When that happens, it’s

time for a change.” Campbell thanked his Liberal colleagues, candidates, the public service and his family, who were present at the announcement. “I want to thank all my family,” he said, “especially my wife Nancy. They all paid a price for my 26 years in public service. Politics can be a very nasty business and at times that spilled over, through no fault of their own, to all of my family. I am sorry for that and I want to thank them all for their support and love.” Campbell’s departure comes only a week after a cabinet shufﬂe and high-proﬁle primetime television address in which he announced

a large income tax cut and new education priorities. However, he has also received sharp criticism from within his party and rumours were circulating that his leadership would be openly questioned at a Liberal convention this month. Naomi Yamamoto, Liberal MLA for North Vancouver-Lonsdale and the North Shore’s sole cabinet minister, said she was shocked and “disappointed” to learn of the premier’s departure. “I was really, really shocked. I’m actually quite emotional right now,” she said later on Wednesday. “This is a man who I think history will show was the best premier that Canada has ever had.” Yamamoto said Campbell informed cabinet earlier that day. “I think the premier has made this decision on his own and I think he’s been considering what’s best for British Columbia.

Ugly tagging scars picturesque Cove

Deep Cove resident catalogues 70 examples in just one day James Weldon

jweldon@nsnews.com

THE District of North Vancouver says it’s having trouble keeping ahead of a wave of graffiti that has hit Deep Cove in the past three months. Carol Walker, the municipality’s bylaw officer, said her department began to receive a large number of reports of defaced public property in the area starting in August. In a neighbourhood that has historically seen very little vandalism, the district is now unable to clean it off quickly enough. “It just gets retagged as soon as the crews remove it,” she said. “It’s quite worrisome. . . . We do get graffiti from time to time in the parks but not to this extent.” Up until now, vandalism in North Vancouver has been concentrated in the Pemberton corridor and Lower Lonsdale, said Walker. Seeing it appear in a new area is unsettling. “It sort of adds to that broken window theory, that it’s unloved and that people don’t care,” she said. “But it’s just the opposite. People really do care about their homes and their neighbourhoods on the North Shore.” The issue was brought to the North Shore News’ attention independently by a Deep Cove resident, Courtney Harding — also an employee of the newspaper — who photographed 70 examples of graffiti in the neighbourhood in one day last month.

Figures related to the Cove specifically weren’t available, but the bylaw department’s records suggest the municipality as a whole has seen a spike in activity. In 2009, the district dealt with 85 incidents of graffiti on non-municipal property. By October this year, it had already seen 123. District crews and contractors have also cleaned up “well over 100” defacements on the municipality’s land, many of them in Deep Cove, according to spokeswoman Jeanine Bratina. That’s well up from last year, she said, although precise numbers weren’t available. Complicating the issue is the fact the district only cleans up graffiti on district property — municipal parks and street signs, for instance — while many of the vandals’ targets are owned by other entities. Where it comes residential or private business property, the district will ask the owner to clean it up, offering a 40-per-cent discount on paint as an incentive. Those who fail to comply can be fined. When the tags land on property owned by other public entities, it’s another matter, however. Canada Post deals quickly with graffiti on its mailboxes, said Walker, as does the Ministry of Transportation when it comes to defaced highway signs and the like. “B.C. Hydro is a little more of a challenge for us,” she said. “They only remove it if it’s offensive. . . . That’s their policy, which is frustrating for a community.” Contacted by the News, Hydro acknowledged it leaves most graffiti in place, except when it is found near “sensitive areas” such as schools, churches or community centres. But the rule arises out of necessity, said Hydro spokeswoman Simi Heer. “Frankly, there’s so many (defaced properties)”, she said. “We have about 40,000 throughout the province.” However, the utility will support community groups who

want to tackle the problem. If volunteers come forward to clean graffiti off Hydro property, the company will supply paint, decals and other needed materials, said Heer. The utility’s community relations manager had not been contacted by the district, though, she added. Walker said the district reports every incident to the North Shore Integrated Graffiti Task Force, a team made up of representatives from the North Shore’s three municipalities and two police forces which exists to prevent graffiti and help co-ordinate its removal. Every report is entered into a database, which police use to map incidents and attempt to tie them to the culprits. “We try to catalogue them and identify the individuals responsible,” said Cpl. Peter DeVries, a North Vancouver RCMP spokesman. “If we can find one person who has a particular tag, and we catch them in the act. . . . It’s a diffcult row to hoe in court, but it can be done.” So far, no suspects in the Deep Cove incidents have been identified, though. DeVries said it’s important that it be resolved. “Even though it doesn’t appear to be hugely insidious, it causes a lot of financial impact to businesses and the community at large.” Walker said it will ultimately fall to the community as a whole to solve the problem in the long term. “I think this really requires a community solution; every one has to keep removing it, and of course reporting it to 9-1-1 (if they see vandalism underway),” she said. “We sure want to catch the people who are doing it.” District residents can report graffiti to the district bylaw office at 604-990-2400 or to the Lynn Valley or Edgemont community policing centres. City residents can call the city bylaw office at 604904-7378 or contact the policing centre in Lower Lonsdale.

Carole James tars all Liberals with HST brush From page 1

This is a really good example of something he’s done that’s quite unselﬁsh. Being premier was never an ego trip for the premier. I found that out really quickly working with him. He’s one of the hardest-working people in Victoria, if not the hardest-working. He recognized that the focus being diverted from the good stuff we’re doing and placed on his leadership wasn’t good for B.C.” She praised Campbell for making tough policies choices on the carbon tax, the economy and education, saying she expected others will also look back at his 9½-year term fondly. “There’s going to be a lot of accolades. This is now the time to look at the policies the premier promoted, that cabinet supported, that weren’t very popular often. But this is a pretty smart man and he made some great decisions, developed the right strategy even when it wasn’t politically popular.” Yamamoto said the tax cuts and grade-school

programs announced during the premier’s television spot will be honoured by the new leader. She ﬂatly denied any interest in the job herself and declined to speculate on who might enter the fray. “We’ve never talked about this. We were not expecting the premier to resign. I’m actually really disappointed and again, this guy has led this province so well.” In a written release, NDP opposition leader Carole James thanked the premier for his many years of public service and also noted the price borne by his family. “Premier Campbell made the right decision today. It’s become been increasingly clear the B.C. Liberals have broken trust with the people they were elected to serve. No issue shows that more clearly than the HST,” she wrote. “But we must also remember that all B.C. Liberals played a part in the HST deception. All B.C. Liberals played a part in the slashing of public services, in the growth of social inequality we’ve seen in B.C. over the past decade.”

AN Indian newspaper is reporting that a West Vancouver woman held captive by the Taliban in Pakistan has died.

The Indian Express posted an unconfirmed report that Khadija Abdul Qahaar — formerly known as Beverly Giesbrecht before she converted to Islam — had “died following prolonged illness in the custody of the Taliban somewhere in northwest Pakistan or Afghanistan.” The newspaper cited unnamed sources as providing the information and did not say when Qahaar is believed to have died. Qahaar was in her late 50s. Lisa Monette, spokeswoman for Canada’s Department of Foreign Affairs, did not video still confirm or deny reports of Qahaar’s death, saying the department was aware of recent KHADIJA Abdul Qahaar, 55, a West Vancouver journalist formerly known media reports about Qahaar and adding, as Beverley Giesbrecht, appears in a 2009 video in front of a knife she “We continue to pursue all appropriate says will be used to behead her if a ransom is not paid to her captors. channels in seeking information with regard But Cooper said last year the government had made it clear they to Ms. Giesbrecht.” Qahaar — who operated a website called Jihad Unspun, wouldn’t pay a ransom. Two videos of Qahaar were released by her kidnappers in the sympathetic to the Taliban and who was described by some as a freelance journalist — was kidnapped along with her translator and spring of 2009. One showed her flanked on either side by masked driver while travelling in a dangerous area of northern Pakistan in gunmen armed with assault rifles. A second video surfaced in March in which Qahaar had a dagger mounted behind her. November 2008. But little has been heard of her fate in more than a year. Both the driver and translator were later released after about Qahaar had a complicated life before embarking on the journey eight months. The driver said after his release that Qahaar had been suffering that would end with her kidnapping in Pakistan. According to posts on her own website, she worked in website development and from hepatitis, according to the Indian Express report. Qahaar’s friend Glen Cooper worried last year that Qahaar doing sales for some mainstream media publications for a number would not survive her captivity. “My fear is that her health will of years. give way,” he told the North Shore News at the time. During the 1980s Geisbrecht was a hard-driving sales manager, Cooper, who Qahaar stayed with prior to leaving for Pakistan, who drank, smoked and was relentless in all aspects of her life.

Death from taxes I

N Premier Gordon Campbell’s resignation this week there is a lesson to any politician: Don’t sell voters trash and tell them it’s treasure, when the evidence is under their noses. No single factor contributed more to Campbell’s fall from grace than the HST, a wildly unpopular tax that the Liberals continue to call, in the face of open rebellion, a good thing. In the past, such outrageous spin has served them well. They told us the sale of BC Rail was just a really long lease; they said that widening highways was a way to reduce emissions; and they sold us cuts to education as a rise in perstudent funding. They got away with these extraordinary claims without consequence, but their line with the HST just hasn’t ﬂown.

From the beginning, the Liberals have insisted that the HST would result in savings to consumers, or, at worst, leave prices unchanged. But after July 1 this year, every voter in this province saw prices in one area of their life or another jump substantially. Any time they bought a coffee, any time they hired a plumber, every ﬂight they paid for out of British Columbia showed them that the Liberals’ claim, in many instances, was patently untrue. The blatancy of the misrepresentation spoke to a level of dishonesty and arrogance that the otherwise passive voters of this province just couldn’t put up with. It was a miscalculation that even a politicianasshrewdasGordonCampbell just couldn’t come back from. And it ultimately cost him his job.

WV riding’s size raises costs ‘Hell Night’ pranks

Dear Editor: Your Oct. 31 story, MP Weston’s Expenses Make Top 3 in B.C. rightly stated that I communicate with constituents in a variety of ways. This is what I heard constituents wanted when I met them on the doorsteps at the last election — not just communication at campaign time. I’ve stayed within House of Commons budgets and dedicated myself to staying in touch with the people I represent. Sunday’s article left three misimpressions. Firstly, our riding is B.C.’s largest by population. The article failed to convey the obvious impact of our riding’s size on costs. If each MP communicates in the same way, our costs will rank higher by virtue of population. A quick analysis of per capita cost of my total expenses for the past ﬁscal year ranks us at 15th out of 36 B.C. MP budgets. Secondly, where I can, I work hard to save costs. While the communications cost of my work as MP largely reﬂects our

riding’s population, over which I have no control, our low travel expenses are the direct result of my personal commitment to save taxpayers’ money. I flew back to the riding from Ottawa almost every weekend Parliament was in session. Why were my travel costs the second lowest of 36 MPs? Because I flew economy, and saved money. Finally, my staff and I not only represent the largest number of constituents of any MP; we also have one of the most challenging geographical ridings and a diverse mix of rural and urban population; demographics; economic variance; and linguistic groups. In order to best serve constituents, I maintain four offices: in West Vancouver, Powell River, on the Sunshine Coast and in Ottawa. Only one other B.C. MP has as many offices. Why? Because of our commitment to service. Can we do better? Always. Are we on the right track? Good results suggest we are. John Weston, MP, West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country

MP’s ﬂyers are a waste of taxpayers’ money Open letter to John Weston: Although I have intended to write to you before now, the Oct. 31 story in the North Shore News about your expenses prompts me to write. I receive these ﬂyers at my townhouse in West Vancouver and my house at Whistler and they go straight into the recycle bin. The most polite thing I can say is that they are political crap and a waste of taxpayer money.

I have voted Conservative in the past and if you keep this nonsense up, I will be voting differently. I do not begrudge your other expenses as you have a huge far-ﬂung riding for this area and travelling to Ottawa is no fun. Other than this one serious mistake, you seem to be a good representative for this riding, so please smarten up. Clive V. Nylander Whistler/West Vancouver

a bothersome trend

Dear Editor: I was delighted to see a photo of our Halloween decorations on page A3 (top photo) of the Sunday, Oct. 31, North Shore News. We have enjoyed decorating our yard and home each Halloween in the 10 years we have lived there, and never suffered any damage other than a couple of jack-o’-lanterns smashed in the road. Sadly, the night of Oct. 30, some hooligans vandalized the decorations in that photo. The skulls on the wrought iron fence were stolen, and the skeleton was dragged away and stomped to pieces. A friendly neighbour found it in the school path between his house and the next. A long section of his wooden fence was also apparently kicked down. In discussing this with other people the general consensus was that we had been the victims of teenage “Hell Night” pranks. I subsequently found the skeleton’s head among the decorations in another neighbour’s yard while trick-or-treating with my daughter. I know of a teenage boy living there, but having no evidence, opted to just retrieve the skeleton’s head rather than confront the family. Nevertheless, the idea that Hell Night and its associated pranks are catching on in our community is bothersome. Perhaps that family will see this letter and investigate the possibility of any bad behaviour on their son’s part, perhaps not. More importantly, I hope all the families in the community will see this and take steps to ensure such pranks do not become the norm. David Asbury North Vancouver

Column predicts big change

(Editor’s note: This column was ﬁled to a deadline prior to Liberal leader Gordon Campbell’s resignation announcement on Wednesday morning.)

AFTER months of near-paralysis in the B.C. Liberal government, the energy level was kicked up a serious notch last week — but all that activity appears not to have helped Premier Gordon Campbell’s fortunes one little bit.

In fact, given the major moves by the government and the almost complete lack of positive response from the public, this past week may provide the proof that there is no recovery possible for the premier. Let’s recap, shall we? Monday, Oct. 25: The premier announces a “realignment” of his cabinet. He demotes no one from the top council, promotes one backbencher and gives his chief of staff a cushy, wellpaid job in the civil service (which, considering his years of harrumphing about the NDP government’s politicization of the civil service appears stunningly hypocritical at best). The realignment includes

View from the Ledge Keith Baldrey

sweeping changes to the socalled “dirt ministries” — i.e. energy, forestry, mining and agriculture. These changes don’t draw a lot of attention at ﬁrst, but that will all change in 24 hours. Tuesday, Oct. 26: A frontpage story in The Vancouver Sun blares a headline about Energy Minister Bill Bennett “blasting” the premier’s cabinet shufﬂe and heaping criticism on his boss. Bennett took it upon himself to phone Sun reporter Jonathan Fowlie (telling Fowlie he was about to hear some “juicy stuff”; a promise he kept) to complain that all these changes — including big ones to his own ministry — were carried out without any consultation with any “elected people.” Campbell’s weak response — basically, “that’s just Bill

being Bill” — was telling. Public dissent in the B.C. Liberal ranks has been almost non-existent since they came into power, but those days are clearly over. One can’t help but wonder whether, if Campbell were in a stronger position in terms of his own popularity and credibility, his response to the startling comments would have been more along the line of “You’re ﬁred, Bill.” But Campbell really can’t afford to make enemies of anyone in his party right now. As a result, he has become a greatly weakened leader. Wednesday, Oct. 27: Social Development Minister Kevin Krueger goes on a Kamloops radio station and calls cabinet colleague Bennett “petulant and ridiculous.” He claims Bennett won’t be trusted by his caucus mates. We’ll see, Kevin. We’ll see. Meanwhile, the premier goes on Global TV at night and attracts a huge audience (the News Hour audience on Global simply stayed put to watch what the premier had to say). Unfortunately for the premier, a much smaller audience might have served him better. The speech fell completely ﬂat. The defence and explanation of the HST

7FRESH

seemed somewhat desperate, and the announcement of a 15-per-cent income tax cut failed to grab hold of people expecting something more creative (such as an announcement of a future cut to the HST rate). Just how badly the speech played with voters will be illustrated the next day. Thursday, Oct. 28: An Ipsos-Reid poll conducted for Global TV spells disaster for Campbell at every turn. Recent polls have been troubling for him in recent months, but this one is particularly bad because it comes as a direct response to his attempt at giving it his “best shot.” The poll reveals that even the income tax cut was greeted with nearambivalence, as just 26 per cent said they “strongly supported” it. The response to questions about Campbell’s explanation of the HST and of impressions of his leadership show he connected with less than 15 per cent of the audience. But, to again demonstrate the NDP’s unerring ability to make blunders even while its political opponent is in complete disarray, NDP MLA Leonard Krog goes on Shaw Cable’s Voice of B.C.

TransLink gets rough ride Benjamin Alldritt balldritt@nsnews.com

TRANSLINK ofﬁcials got an earful from City of North Vancouver councillors Monday when they came to introduce a new round of North Shore transit planning. Planning director Brian Mills and planning manager Jim Prokop came before council to describe the process to develop a new North Shore Area Transit Plan, one of several sub-regional plans that are reviewed on a 10-year cycle. The presentation was light on details, but the two men said TransLink was currently analyzing the existing network and gathering information from local governments, First Nations, and the public at large. That will continue until the end of the year. “We’re there to create a long-term transit vision that includes transit services and infrastructure for the region,” Prokop said. “In meeting the goals of that vision, we will identify shorter-term service

COUN. Bob Fearnley: Five terms, same questions. priorities and infrastructure priorities. The results of the plan, we hope, will increase transit mode share and it will create an efﬁcient transit network.” The short-term priorities, according to the timeline presented, should be known by the end of June, 2011. “Forgive me for being cynical, but I’ve heard people identify things such as security at the Phibbs exchange and the Quay, the need for more SeaBus service,” said Coun. Pam Bookham. “Of course we had the great photo op to announce the arrival of our third SeaBus only to be followed by another announcement that another was being pulled out, so in fact we weren’t getting a third SeaBus. . . .

“We can go on planning and planning and planning but we want to see results on the North Shore and there is a general feeling in the public that we want to see results on the money spent.” Coun. Guy Heywood criticized the jargon-heavy presentation and said he hoped TransLink would gather data speciﬁc to the City of North Vancouver rather than the North Shore generally given the city’s population density. “We are getting nothing from the potential $50 to $80 per household tax increase that we are going to be hit with,” he said. “I have to ask myself,”

agreed Coun. Bob Fearnley: “What are we getting for this money? “I’ve been on council for ﬁve terms and I remember asking questions in the ﬁrst term like: When are we going to get a third SeaBus? What are you going to do about the bus barn on Third Street? What are you going to do about the bus loop down at the Quay because it looks like a dump? “Five terms in, all the same questions and nothing has been done. . . . After a while promises just aren’t cutting it anymore. We need to see some action because the promises ring hollow.”

From page 7 program that evening and compares Kevin Krueger to Joseph Goebbels because of his unswerving loyalty to the premier. Krueger, he says, would be the “last one out of the bunker.” The tasteless and offensive comment does not go unnoticed by the B.C. Liberals. Friday, Oct. 29: Krueger demands an apology from Krog, who duly offers one to him, as well as to Campbell and the Canadian Jewish Congress. Krog has learned what can happen when you violate a cardinal rule in politics: never, ever compare anyone or anything to the Nazis. And so the week that was came to an end. But what are not ending are the whispers within the heart of the B.C. Liberal government that some big changes are needed. And the whispers are becoming louder.

Rule 1: Don’t mention Nazis

A10 - North Shore News - Friday, November 5, 2010

INQUIRING REPORTER PREMIER Gordon Campbell threw in the towel Wednesday, stepping down as premier after close to a decade in ofﬁce. Swept to power by a landslide in 2001, his recent poll numbers had sunk to historic lows following the introduction of the HST, the culmination of the B.C. Rail corruption trial and a string of other missteps. A prime-time TV address announcing income tax cuts and new education priorities seemed to do little to revive his fortunes. Find us on Facebook and tell us your reaction to the end of the Campbell era. — Benjamin Alldritt

John Wood North Vancouver He should have resigned when he got that impaired driving conviction. That’s a criminal offence. Anyone else would have. He’s a smug SOB.

What’s your reaction to Premier Gordon Campbell’s resignation?

Shane Doell North Vancouver I’m not overly surprised. He’s doing it to save face for the Liberals. He got a lot of slack for that big tax cut.

Russ Sutherland North Vancouver Good. I don’t think he was doing the right things for the province. Selling B.C. Rail was a bad thing.

Alison Raes North Vancouver Let’s try to focus on the platform now, not the personalities. I just want someone who can balance the budget and handle the economy responsibly.

Brooke Heximer Vancouver It’s the end of an era. I’m curious about what happens next. I’ll take a wait-andsee approach but I’m pretty disillusioned about the whole process.

That error shouldn’t have caused a fire, however. “All barbecues should be designed and installed so that they may be used on the high setting indefinitely,” said

PETER Karp and Sue Foley bring their He Said, She Said tour out west for a show at Kay Meek Centre on Friday, Nov. 12.

PETER KARP AND SUE FOLEY WORK IT OUT IN NEW COLLABORATION

John Goodman jgoodman@nsnews.com

UNLIKELY collaborators Peter Karp and Sue Foley practice a little give and take on their new album He Said, She Said. Both leaders of their own working bands, the two roots performers rarely take enough time off the road to think about changing things up but life on the road is what helped them form their new alliance. The two ﬁrst met a couple of years ago while out on tour. “I was playing with my band and she was playing with hers,” says Karp. “A little later we ended up in a recording studio doing a duet together that never went anywhere. It was a miserable recording but we had a lot of fun doing the miserable thing.” Like strangers in the night negotiating their own separate paths through the music business they began an email correspondence as they continued their respective tours. Over the course of the next year they wrote to each other about their experiences and life’s ups and downs on the road. “These were full letters,” says Karp. “They weren’t texts or bleeps or tweets. In the beginning they were just congenial ‘How ya doing’ kinds of things but as time wore on, as we went through

different things, the letters became more impactful and more important. They became like lifelines to a confidant who you really didn’t know. We really only knew of each other through these letters. We never spoke on the phone and we never got together. We just wrote a lot of letters.” The He Said, She Said project is the result of their correspondence. When it came time to think about making a new record they hit on the idea of using the letters as a focal point for songs. “I had just done a record for Blind Pig and Sue had been recording for Ruf Records,” Karp says. “We were joking around about how incredibly dynamic the letters were. They encompassed everything — life and death, highs and lows and the things that you go through every year. We decided to take the letters and make songs out of them.” Some of the 14 tracks on the album were taken almost verbatim from the correspondence while others developed over time. “Writing songs for me has always been about writing prose and then extracting lyrics from that,” says Karp. “That’s how my process of writing has always worked. Sue is one of those people who can actually sit down and write a song like a song. I have to write a lot of different stuff to get to what it is I’m trying to figure out to write about. Out of the hundreds of songs I’ve written I can only think of two songs that I’ve written music first for.” The two musicians started recording some demos with Terry Gillespie at his Heaven’s Radio studio in Ottawa. “We’re both bosses so it was an interesting

thing to actually collaborate with somebody else,” says Foley. “We’ve had to learn how to be partners and give and take when necessary. For me it was a big learning curve because I’ve been doing my own thing for so long.” Gillespie, a veteran of the blues and R&B scene helped the duo shape the material for He Said, She Said. “He really helped us pull into focus the approach on the record,” says Karp. “He became kind of like a guru helping us to think it through. After we made the demos we had a better understanding of what we were going to do and we went down to New Jersey and recorded with Dae Bennett who I have worked with for many years.” Karp and Foley recorded 14 tracks over a couple of days with the finished album reflecting a musical flow over linear chronology. They kick things off with a full-out rocker written by Karp, “Treat Me Right,” featuring the two trading vocals and guitar licks like they’ve been working together for years. The performance is so loose it sounds like an impromptu knock-off but it’s the kind of opener that Delbert McClinton and Bonnie Raitt would kill for. Songs like “Rules of Engagement” and “Ready for Your Love” reveal both Foley’s and Karp’s distinctive styles and a burgeoning, all-consuming relationship. The letters generated a lot of material and enough songs to record several albums. They already have another one in the can. “We put this record together See Duo page 32

■ The 39 Steps adapted by Patrick Barlow, an Arts Club Theatre production at the Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage to Nov. 21. Box ofﬁce: 604-687-1644.

HELLO there! Cholmondeley Hanrathers is the name. Doing a favour for a chappie at some rag called the North Shore News. Never read the thing myself, but the regular reviewer is a little under the weather and since the blighter is a fellow Englishman (or was until he went native), I said I’d fill in. So here I am just back from photo David Cooper a night at the splendid Stanley SHAWN Macdonald, Martin Happer, and David Marr in the Arts Club Theatre Theatre and in something of a Company’s production of The 39 Steps. quandary, don’t you know. Top notch production. First-rate. Want to make that clear right off the bat. Super actors. I had wondered whether the Arts Club was up against it Martin Happer reminds me of myself; cuts a dashing figure as financially, given the fact that they made Diana Coatsworth play Richard Hannay, the hero in novelist John Buchan’s end-ofthe mysterious Annabella Schmidt, the country lass Pamela and Empire adventure novel the play was, er, adapted from. that twerp of a woman for whom Hannay falls. If that wasn’t I hesitated there, didn’t I. Oh well, into the valley and unto enough, Shawn Macdonald and David Marr play everyone else the breach and all that: Buchan’s ripping good yarn about — sometimes at the same time! But that Chippie chap who unravelling a German spy ring is revealed as a melodramatic usually writes here says that’s the “twist”: acting out a novel game full of implausible coincidences and larger-than-life full of car chases and railways and the Fourth Bridge with a few chairs and stepladders and only four actors. characters. Spoils a chap’s memories! Seemed dashed silly to me Seems almost more trouble than it’s worth to me. The actors to watch Hannay evade his pursuers by riding across a Scottish certainly earn their money — and everyone else involved in loch on some giant sea monster. The audience seemed to find putting the production together: director Dean Paul Gibson, that sort of nonsense hysterically amusing, even though it set designer Ted Roberts, lighting designer Marsha Sibthorpe, definitely wasn’t in the book. Same with that biplane zooming costume designer Rebekka Sorensen and sound designer Murray around. Apparently that was a famous scene in a film called Price. But after a while I was just waiting for the next staging North by Northwest by some colonial — Hitchcock, I think surprise, not the next piece of the story. I was half hoping that someone said his name was — who made several films, including Monty Python fellow Graham Chapman would stroll on stage The 39 Steps. Don’t see the connection myself, but again, the and say “Now then! I’ve had enough of this silliness.” audience was all a-twitter. I don’t approve of talking in the theatre myself. If you want a distraction, buy a choc-ice. Still, the audience seemed to enjoy the show. Canadians, eh!

Ron Stonier contribution re-examined

Vancouver art scene’s enigmatic ‘missing link’ showcased in new exhibit at the Trench gallery ■ Ron Stonier — Ouroboros, Trench Gallery, 102-148 Alexander St. Vancouver. Opening reception Wednesday, Nov. 10, 6 to 9 p.m. Exhibit runs until Nov. 27. For more details visit trenchgallery.com.

Erin McPhee emcphee@nsnews.com

CRAIG Sibley knows what it means to be on the front line, or in the trenches, so to speak, as an artist. A sculptor, the North Vancouver resident formerly owned and operated permanent and short-term galleries in Kelowna; as well, has been employed by a number of local spaces. “In this day and age it’s hard to live off the grant system,” he says. “Artists are always being bogged down with day jobs that may or may not conflict or enhance their art career. So many of them live handto-mouth or in challenging situations because the art comes first.” Interested in doing what he can to help artists succeed, on Oct. 28 Sibley opened Trench contemporary art, a commercial gallery in Gastown. “My mandate is really just to give an opportunity to artists to sell their work,” he says. In addition, Sibley is also interested in educating the public, both artists and art lovers alike, about emerging, mid- and late- career contemporary artists working in all media, those known as well as those who should be known as a result of their profound impact on the art world. To that end, Trench’s inaugural show focuses on the late Ron Stonier, an important figure in the Vancouver art scene, both as a painter and an instructor. “I’m a contemporary art gallery starting off with a deceased artist, which is kind of odd, but the way I look at it we really need to know,” says Sibley. “Artists generally move from one historic context to another so you need to know what’s happened in art history in order to reinvent it and move forward and add your own mark to it. So, I think it’s really important to know where we come from in order to know where we’re going.” The exhibition is the result of a friendship formed by Sibley and Stonier’s partner, Sheila Cano, who are neighbours. Following Stonier’s passing in 2001, as a result of health problems, his paintings were put away in a storage unit. “It’s been my dream all these years to bring his work to light and to have him take

his place in the spectrum of modern artists in Vancouver,” says Cano, who’s also an artist. Over the years, she donated some work to the Vancouver Art Gallery, and had been in contact with various West Coast galleries gauging their interest. Speaking with Sibley over coffee one day, it seemed Cano’s vision for Stonier’s work would finally come into fruition. “We hatched this idea and as it evolved he decided to start a gallery,” she says. The show is entitled Ouroboros, intended as a reference to the symbol of a snake biting its tail, creating a circle, and the idea of the repetitive nature of cycles in life, says Sibley. It’s a survey of Stonier’s paintings, spanning approximately 25 years, from 1963 to 1989. “Ron in his early abstractions of 1963 was working in a tight colour field kind of application of paint, more along the lines of the abstract expressionists, and they were tight, patchy compositions of colour,” says Sibley. “And then he stepped away from that and moved into a more organic abstraction that would be considered somewhat post-painterly. There was a postpainterly abstract movement, which is sort of indicative of the 1960s, and Ron applied his way of seeing to that style of work.” Stonier then moved from that style into hard-edged line paintings, similar to what Guido Molinari would have been making in the 1970s. “But they’re all based in colour,” says Sibley. “And then finally, in the 1980s he goes back to his roots of those tight compositions of colour in the early 1960s and he creates a whole body of work in the 1980s, which he called patch painting. They’re

a little bit more open than the early works. This is why we call it Ouroboros because sometimes artists, they go back and they revisit something from earlier days and apply all the knowledge that they have of colour and composition and the pictureplane, all this experience, applying it to an old methodology and seeing how it renews itself.” In a way, the later paintings reflect the early work but they show a much more mature artist and one with his own vision and his own clarity of understanding painting and understanding paint, he adds. Sibley feels Stonier’s work is an important missing piece of the puzzle of the Vancouver art scene. A student of Gordon Smith, Peter Aspell, Jack Shadbolt and Don Jarvis he was also a contemporary of Audrey Capel Doray and David Mayrs. “He was certainly one of the keynote young painters in the ’60s and was exhibiting frequently and having work shown around the country,” he says. Stonier became an instructor quite early in his career, teaching within five years of graduating from art school at the Vancouver School of Art, where he was a faculty member from 1962 to 1978, before retreating to his studio. “I never had the good fortune of knowing Ron,” says Sibley. “Strangely enough I have some art friends who certainly were taught by him. What I’ve learned is that he was an absolutely incredible instructor who left a huge legacy of influence. The effect that art instructors have on young artists is profound. Ron’s was quite substantial and he certainly See New page 20

New space showing work From page 18 inﬂuenced a lot of people in the way they paint, the way they think more than anything and how they approach the practice of being an artist.” In the late ’60s and into the ’70s, the Vancouver art scene moved in the direction of the avant-garde with new media — video, performance, photography and more conceptual-based work — taking over, says Sibley. “And painting fell out of favour,” he says. “So it was suddenly hard to get exhibitions.” However, Stonier continued to create work. “Ron kept painting no matter what,” says Sibley. “It didn’t matter whether things sold or got exhibited, he just kept painting and there’s not a lot of artists who can do that, that just keep going and going and going and going and on such a scale. He’s kind of an enigma and now that he’s gone it’s even more mysterious.” Funnily enough, the space Trench is housed in is the former Helen Pitt Gallery Artist Run Center, at 102-148 Alexander St. Due to funding cuts, Helen Pitt is currently on the move and for now is being hosted at 221A East Georgia St. “The ironic thing is that Ron Stonier was one of the founding members of the original Helen Pitt exhibition space in 1975. It’s kind of again full-circle.”

FIBRE artist Kaija Rautiainen, printmaker Heather Aston and potter Heather Cairns get their goods ready for the Crackerjack ﬁne arts and crafts show, Nov. 12-14 at The Music Box in West Vancouver.

Best in crafts at Crackerjack

“I’ll have bowls, platters, parmesan cheese shakers, salt cellars,” she says. “I want my work to be purchased and used; it’s not just pretty, it’s functional as well.” Message bowls are stamped with inspirational phrases like “Listen To Your Heart,” and “Celebrate Family and Friends.” “A lot of people buy them for wedding gifts,” says Cairns, who has been a professional artist since 1994. She was invited to become involved with Crackerjack after Pickles saw her work at a show at Vancouver’s Leighdon Studio Gallery last year. “I’m looking forward to participating in the show. I know that all of the work is of high quality and it’s nice to be part of that in your own community,” Jewelry, ceramics, glass and tapestries will also be on sale at the show. Crackerjack takes place Friday, Nov. 12, 7-9 p.m.; Saturday, Nov. 13, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sunday, Nov. 14, noon-4 p.m. There is a meet-the-artists reception on Friday evening along with live entertainment from guitarist Cassandra Van Dyck. The Music Box is at 1654 Argyle Ave. in West Vancouver.

BELIEVE it or not the holidays are almost here and pretty soon we’ll all be reduced to giant balls of stress. But it doesn’t have to be that way — the Crackerjack ﬁne arts and crafts show, on next weekend in West Vancouver, is the perfect chance to get some early Christmas shopping done. West Vancouver artist Celia Pickles has been hosting the event for the past 10 years. “It’s the best of the best,” says Pickles. “It’s grown and it’s grown in its reputation and its size so that we actually showcase and sell over 30 artists’ work.” Pickles, who specialized in textiles and printmaking, has recently begun marrying her two passions by stitching on her prints. “I take my inspiration from Canada’s West Coast — the colours, shapes and textures that I see around me,” she says. Heather Cairns, a North Vancouver-based potter, will also be exhibiting at the event. Cairns works with stoneware clay to create functional pieces with an emphasis on surface decoration.

Whether it is a few days without shaving that keeps on going or a more conscious decision to create a look, it is an option that is always there. Facial hair can be used to enhance a certain face shape or to make a fashion statement. Whatever the reason to let your whiskers grow there are grooming tips that will make it a better experience. Authors Allan Peterkin and Nick Burns offer up a

wealth of interesting beard information while maintaining a light-hearted approach. There are plenty of comments from noted beard wearers like Phil Olsen, the captain of Team Beard USA. An entire chapter is devoted to answering common beard related questions. Important topics include how to make your beard softer for kissing (use conditioner and grow it a bit longer), tips on dyeing (a shade lighter than your hair is recommended) and whether your beard grows faster in winter (facial hair is the fastest growing hair on your body and yes, it does grow faster in winter). Drawings show a wide range of styles and tips on how to achieve them. Each one has its own distinct name, including such head-turners as the Horseshoe Moustache and the Stiletto Beard.

Dallaire pushes for Child Soldier Initiative

New book uses mix of personal experience and research to focus on horriﬁc global problem ■ Roméo Dallaire, Kay Meek Centre, Thursday, Nov. 11, 7:30 p.m. as part of the Paciﬁc Harbour Speaker Series. Sold out.

Benjamin Alldritt balldritt@nsnews.com

ROMEO Dallaire rose to international attention as commander of the United Nations peacekeeping force stationed in Rwanda during the massacres and genocide of 1994.

photo Jean-Marc Carisse

FORMER Lieutenant-General, the Honourable Senator Roméo Dallaire speaks at Kay Meek Centre, Thursday, Nov. 11 at 7:30 p.m. The event is sold out.

The Canadian Forces lieutenant general was tormented by the indifference of the international community to the horror he witnessed and later described in excruciating detail in his book Shake Hands with the Devil, which was made into a documentary and also a feature film. Dallaire, who retired from the military and was appointed to the Canadian Senate in 2005, will speak at the West Vancouver’s Kay Meek Centre on Remembrance Day to discuss his new book on child soldiers, They Fight Like Soldiers, They Die Like Children. “It’s a mixture of personal experiences, both from in conflicts and in the research,” Dallaire told the North Shore News. “I was trying to get the right tone to influence people to get engaged and help solve this horrific problem.” Like his previous work, They Fight Like Soldiers, They Die Like Children is a deeply personal book, opening with a poetic recollection of Dallaire’s own childhood in Quebec and how he came to become a soldier himself. “I felt it essential to show how in our society a professional soldier is developed and how it’s an evolution through childhood and youth and then into adulthood. We go about it in a very deliberate fashion and opportunities are presented to choose the profession of the military. Contrast that with how a child in a country that falls into conflict ends up being thrust under duress into a scenario of having to use force.” In the book, Dallaire contrasts his own

experience with a fictional account of a young boy taken from his school by force, witnessing the murder of his father and the rape of his sister in the process. The story follows the boy as he is plied with ever-stronger drugs and soon forced into committing atrocities himself. Dallaire also fictionalizes another side of the conflict — a peacekeeper forced to shoot a girl soldier. “It’s an amalgam, a compendium of factual events that have happened to child soldiers,” he says. “Instead of trying to identify one and have people focus possibly on the country or the individual or maybe trying to seek out that person, what I wanted to do is give them a picture — which is real — but is there as an instrument to demonstrate.” The book is one aspect of what has become an all-consuming project for Dallaire, the Child Soldier Initiative. His goal is nothing short of removing children as “the perfect low-technology, cheap and expendable weapons system.” “As long as (combatants) have access to light weapons and to children, there is no impetus to want to bring a resolution to a conflict, particularly if they are gaining from it in areas that are not necessarily territorial. They can be economic like diamonds and gold and things like that.” While Dallaire makes no secret of his frustration with the slow pace of progress, there has been progress. His group is building a network between NGOs, development researchers, militaries and police. Getting these groups — often deeply suspicious of each other — to work together was the focus of a field exercise in Ghana in 2007. Recognizing that preventing conflict is a vast goal, the initiative is focusing on disarmament, demobilization, and rehabilitation of child soldiers. This last task can be the most difficult for a child who has no home to return to and no skills other than handling a Kalashnikov. Dallaire is an outspoken critic of Canada’s recent foreign policy, arguing the recent loss of a seat at the United Nations Security Council See Canada page 34

Aung San Suu Kyi is the leader of the democratic movement in Burma, and for that she has spent much of the past two decades under house arrest. Alan Clements is one of the few Westerners to have spent time with Suu Kyi. Clements, who will speak at Presentation House Theatre on Sunday, met her in 1995 and co-authored a book with her, The Voice of Hope. The North Vancouver talk, Clement says, “will be a tutorial and a celebration of perhaps the world’s most famous political prisoner in anticipation of her imminent release from a decade and a half of incarceration. In essence, the tutorial and celebration is based on her concept of Burma’s revolution of the spirit.” “As a former Buddhist monk in that country and having co-authored a book with her, having spent six months with her, I had the rare privilege of really entering the meaning and the experience of what her

Schoolcraft and Brent Simons, is a windfall for Ferrell, who delivers one zingy line after another. Fey, Hill and Pitt all do their characters justice, as does David Cross as Megamind’s sidekick Minion. But the story is not without its blue beating heart. We come to pity Megamind, then to want to give the guy a big hug, despite our xenobiological racism and his hairless, big-headedness. Megamind’s moral quandary and quest for a normal life is something we can all relate to.

New Victoria hotel puts sustainability ﬁrst Resort built to LEED Platinum certiﬁcation

Erin McPhee emcphee@nsnews.com

WE’VE all seen the notice posted in hotel bathrooms: “If you would like to reuse your towels to conserve resources, kindly hang them on the rack.” But what if there was more that could be done, in the way of additional steps taken by hoteliers to give environmentconscious travellers increased means of reducing their footprint when away from home? There is, and the new award-winning Parkside Victoria Resort and Spa is leading by example, offering guests greater choice when visiting B.C.’s capital. On a recent trip to Vancouver Island, I spent a couple of days at the 126-suite sustainable resort hotel and was pleased with what I found. The property, completed in summer 2009, was built to LEED Platinum certiﬁcation standards. A

few examples of its green features include environmentally friendly furnishings, water-saving plumbing ﬁxtures, Energy Star appliances, vehicle charging stations, bicycle storage, rainfall collection for landscaping irrigation and free green building tours of the property. While focused on sustainability, aesthetics weren’t sacriﬁced. The overall look of the hotel, like a modern condominium development, is striking — inside and out. The hotel lobby, a three-storey atrium, was impressive, lush with plants

salvaged from the now-closed Crystal Gardens attraction. I had a fireplace and flat screen television in both my living and bed rooms, a balcony and heated bathroom floor. While there isn’t a restaurant on site, my room had a wellstocked kitchen in terms of appliances and utensils; and the hotel’s location, two blocks from Inner Harbour, offered countless dining options. The resort’s other amenities, including a movie theatre, spa, gym and 25-metre ozonated indoor pool and hot tub make

Megamind guaranteed warm reception on DVD

From page 25

The 3D is subtly employed, so if you like stuff flying out at you, go see the latest Saw flick. And while the poppy soundtrack grates at times, Hans Zimmer’s score rescues the film from sounding too manic. In addition to Despicable Me, there are nods here to The Incredibles and Monsters vs. Aliens,

but Megamind manages to craft a place all its own, guaranteeing a warm reception from families and an extended life on DVD. In playing with the notion of pure good and pure evil, characters — even CG ones — are more complex and inﬁnitely more relatable. There are no white hats and black hats anymore: in Megamind’s case, they’ve morphed into a lively shade of blue. The University Womens Club of Vancouver

MUSIC

Deerhunter display unending promise ■ Deerhunter/Real Estate/Casino Vs. Japan, Rickshaw Theatre, Tuesday, Oct. 26.

Brian Pascual Contributing Writer

ONE-MAN ambient/electronic/everythingunder-the-kitchen-sink techno noisemakers aren’t really the greatest choices as opening acts for rock bands, but given Casino Vs. Japan’s association with the headliner’s main songwriter (Deerhunter’s Bradford Cox directed the CVJ video for “Hush Hush”—watch it www.youtube. com/watch?v=t5bexGQZ_KI” here) you can understand the thinking.

BEING THERE Playing to a smattering of early arrivers, CVJ main man, Erik Kowalksi, was barely visible sitting behind his setup of keyboards, computers and various samplers and mixers (not to mention the Rickshaw’s high stage). It wouldn’t have been a stretch to assume the music being played was recorded music over the PA system. Digging into an assorted bag of techno, trip-hop, R&B, shoegaze, chillwave and house music, CVJ would most definitely be perfect for a rave or a dance club, but not opening for a couple of indie rock bands. At various points, Kowalksi amped up the treble and rattled off some sheer white noise that surely loosened earwax buildup in more than a few audience members. But really, an electronic artist really wasn’t what the kids wanted to see. Anyone who did witness the CVJ set will surely vouch for the fact that this guy can single-handedly throw together a serious dance party, but his talents were unfortunately lost on a crowd wanting a rock show. There was one person dancing. ‘nuff said. Conversely, the night’s second opener brought a full crowd to the floor and filled the front of the stage. After releasing a slew of tantalizing 7” singles and a precociously good debut full-length that has garnered them a ton of hype from the blogosphere over the past two years, New Jersey’s Real Estate finally arrived in Vancouver for the first time. And whether or not it was nerves or their personalities, the band fell a little short. They weren’t boring, but they didn’t really do anything to stand out either. And I suppose when you consider how relaxed and easygoing their full-length is (a truly satisfying mix of the cloudy haze of the Velvet Underground; the hypnotic, quiet side of Yo La Tengo; the laid back, flower power of the Grateful Dead; and the sunny pop of the Beach Boys) it shouldn’t have been a surprise to discover the band members are exactly that. But still, even a little bit of energy? Showmanship? They were certainly polite enough and did address their audience a few times, but something just seemed to be missing. (OK, more than a few points awarded for their drummer who, with his high-waist, pleated khakis, baggy ’90s dress shirt tucked in, long hair and glasses, showed us what D&D wizard, Harris, from Freaks & Geeks would have looked like had he graduated high school and joined a band.) The songs themselves, however, were represented well. Standouts “Beach Comber” and “Fake Blues” in particular stood out amongst the rest of Real Estate’s set, with the New Jersey natives mixing in a few new songs as well. Overall, they are a tight band live but it was hard to ignore the fact that the middle of their set really dipped and most of the songs almost blended together to form one long, groove-heavy jam session. If you’ve read the reviews for Deerhunter’s latest opus, Halcyon Digest, you might be swayed into thinking the experimental post-rockers have gone soft on us. Yes, Halcyon has quieter, more drawn-out moments with plenty of spaces for introspection, but is it fair to think they’ve lost their edge? On this cool, October night Deerhunter came to town to answer that question. Leading with one of Halcyon’s best tracks, the slow burning, eventually exploding “Desire Lines,” the Atlanta foursome instantly had the Rickshaw audience in their collective palm. Already a near-seven-minute song on the album, it felt as if

DEERHUNTER instantly had the audience in their collective palm at the Rickshaw Theatre. the band played it for at least 10 minutes, really stretching themselves out and leading the crowd into a narcotic sea of psychedelic drunkenness. In one song they showed off some of their best features: melodic, chiming guitars, a chugging bassline you can feel in your pants, catchy chorus and the ability to go from a pop song to experimental freak-out jam to shoegazing aural bliss with seamless ease. Visually, Deerhunter is also a fun contrast in styles to watch. Much has already been written about lead singer/guitarist, Bradford Cox’s, oft-times unpredictable onstage antics. Even though his days of wearing dresses are now gone and replaced by Oxford button-downs and pants, and he has made a conscious effort to tone things down, he is still unbelievably entertaining. Whether he is slashing around the stage or standing at his mic, Cox’s emotions are always at the surface for all to see. When he sings he always looks as if he is putting everything into each note, and that has an undeniable effect on his audience. The rest of the band (bassist, Josh Fauver; second vocalist/guitarist, Lockett Pundt; drummer, Moses Archuleta) are the perfect straight men to Cox’s energy. Which isn’t to say they aren’t without personality; Fauver is always smiling and making eye contact with the audience and Pundt seems to perennially be trying to suppress laughter at whatever Cox is doing or saying. The band was intent on representing Halcyon as much as possible, highlighted by very loud and beefed-up versions of “Don’t Cry,” “Revival,” and the gorgeous “Helicopter.” They filled the rest of their set with mostly songs from their breakthrough sophomore record, Microcastle. “Never Stops” was brilliant, as was “Little Kids” (which the band finished with a completely shredded cloud of white noise that came close to Mogwai levels of ear and nosebleed inducement). One of the night’s pinnacle moments was Microcastle’s “Nothing Ever Happened,” where Deerhunter really flexed their muscles and turned the closing of the song into an extremely extended, Krautrock-inspired, space drone that brought together all the best parts of Kraftwerk, Brian Eno and Radiohead. It was the kind of moment that showed this band really has no ceiling. With a prolific three-year output (let’s throw in Cox’s so-good-it-feels-wrong-to-call-it-a-side-

project side project, Atlas Sound, and Pundt’s own equally good but quietly released solo record as Lotus Plaza), they’ve already pushed their own limits into different directions over six albums and three EPs, all the while writing some of the best songs of their contemporaries. If there was any doubt as to whether or not Deerhunter is mellowing out after the release of the quieter Halcyon Digest, anyone leaving the Rickshaw on this night would most assuredly and conﬁdently assert that the band has not done anything of the sort. If anything, they have become louder, better and continue to show unending promise. When they come through your city, seeing them has now become an unmistakable must.

to play a certain way,” says Karp. “The other material will touch on different aspects of what went on as well. There’s some dark stuff that happened during this period but we couldn’t put all that on one record or you’d just run away screaming. It’s like your own life — good things happen, bad things happen, especially as you go on in this business.” “The cool thing about this project is how natural it all came together,” says Foley. “We were both on completely different paths before. We were doing different things and going in different directions and then all of a sudden, ‘Oh, OK let’s do this.’ Sometimes you make an album and you sweat over it and this one just kind of fell in our laps in a way.” “No matter what it is you do I think the best things just happen,” says Karp. “You don’t have to try to make it happen. The greatest sports teams have chemistry. It just happened very organically and we’re enjoying that.”

revolution of the spirit means,” he says. The concept has four pillars: liberated Buddhism, mindfulness and meditation, love in action, and defiant satirical comedy. The last one sounds unexpected, but comedy is a vital part of Burmese culture, says Clements, and the vanguard of the non-violent resistance. “Unlike a lot of countries where the voice of dissent is often the intellectuals or scientists, Burma’s most active voices of opposition are the stand-up comedians. There’s a long tradition of the spoken word. It’s a little bit different from our stand-up here because the comedians there are multi-talented. They’re able to sing, they’re able to dance, they tell stories, they’re raconteurs, they do satire and one-liners. It’s a whole range, but it’s based on satirical, defiant comedy.” Clements has long-standing connections to Burma. He first journeyed there in the 1970s to study as a Buddhist monk before being ejected by the military government in1984. Having travelled to many trouble spots around the world as a foreign correspondent, Clements knows what he’s talking about when he calls Burma “perhaps the most maniacal, totalitarian government that I have witnessed.” “George Orwell lived in Burma and legend has it that the seeds of 1984 come from his time in Burma. Orwellianisms — Big Brother, doublespeak and various things — are ubiquitous in the culture,” he says. But what of the woman herself? Suu Kyi is a Nobel Peace Prize winner, enjoys worldwide fame and an array of celebrity supporters, but is still largely invisible both to the Burmese and the world.

“She’s very iconic,” he says. “People almost worship the poster. You see 50-foot videos of her and people worship the image. But it’s time to illuminate the voice. That’s my message. Who is she and how relevant is her message to our daily lives? She is super smart, remarkably funny, unthinkably able to cry at the vulnerability and suffering of others but at the same time she has some mystical capacity to maintain some autonomy within it all. She’s self-assured. A journalist once asked how she felt when she was freed the first time and she laughed and said ‘Was I supposed to feel different? I never felt that my freedom was theirs to take in the first place. There was no feeling that was different.’ That’s Burma, that’s Aung San Suu Kyi.” The eyes of the world will be on Burma Nov. 12 when the government is set to free her, although though it won’t be freedom as we know in the west. “The release will be unthinkably conditional. They will unlock her front door and probably keep her compound gate locked, which is what happened in 1995 when she was released after her first six years of incarceration. What they anticipate is that she will walk from her door, stand on a little stool above her gate and let her people see that she was released. Those who dare to gather in groups of five or more — which is outlawed by the state — will have a sit-in and listen to her talk. I think she will deliver some form of guidance for her people that will spread like wildfire both in Burma and internationally.” Clements will speak at Presentation House Theatre, 333 Chesterfield Ave., North Vancouver, at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 7.

Canada lost credibility by abandoning citizen Khadr From page 23

has had effects many Canadians might not be aware of. “It’s not just that we are not sitting at the table as Canadians, and that undermines a lot of our credibility for those of us working internationally, but it has also left a void which a lot of developing countries saw us filling, influencing the big powers in their decision-making. We were a significant conduit for them and we’re not there to do that now and that’s an irresponsible situation that we’ve created,” he said. “The results of decisions we’ve taken like not signing the Aboriginal Convention, the whole child soldier exercise we’re going through with Omar Khadr, our less-than-effective desire to make the UN function — not only militarily but as an international body of governance and ultimately losing our seat — has had a very negative effect on our credibility and presence internationally.” On the topic of Omar Khadr, the Toronto-born man captured at age 15 following a lethal firefight in Afghanistan, Dallaire insists he should have been extended the rights afforded to child soldiers. “There was never any doubt in my military mind,” he says emphatically. “He met all the criteria of the Convention on Child Rights that we helped create and ratified 10 years ago. People have fiddled with civil liberties and human rights following 9/11, but other nations, developed countries, came to their senses and extracted their citizens and put them through due process in their own countries. We fundamentally abandoned our citizen to that process at Guatanamo and did absolutely nothing to attempt to implement the convention that we’ve been trying to convince other countries to adopt. It’s an enormous loss of credibility and it will have a negative impact on child soldiers around the world.” He plans to introduce legislation next year to plug the holes he sees in Canadian law’s handling of young fighters, and then it’s back to his tireless campaigning. “Having seen them, having heard them, having touched them in these conflicts around the world, how extremism and barbarity have come to the fore since the end of the Cold War in these imploded nations, whatever I have for energy and intelligence I must use to try to prevent those conflicts or find resolutions to them. I am driven by the fact that every one of those human beings counts just as much as any Canadian or American citizen and so we have a responsibility to protect.”

WALKER – Lois Elizabeth (nee Lundy)

May 2, 1939 - October 30, 2010 Lois passed tragically and suddenly with her family at her side. Predeceased by her parents Percy and Jewel, and this year by sister Peggy and brother-in-law Howdie. Survived by husband Morton, son Michael (Julie), daughter Jill Hartley (Jason), grandchildren Amanda, Jacob, Matthew and Ashley, her Aunts and Uncle, Nephews and extended family. Born in Hartney, MB of homesteading lineage Lois grew up in Lauder, MB. At 17 after teacher training she began her career in a one room school in rural Manitoba in the mid '50s, completed her teaching education at Brandon College and after graduating she taught grade one in East Kildonan (Winnipeg). She married Morton and they moved to Edmonton in 1963 where she taught and began her family. After a two year period living at Amherstburg, ON the family moved to the North Shore in 1971. Lois had found her home; the family grew up as BCers. She taught at Monteray School close to home and was closely involved in her children’s activities and was a friend to their friends. Morton’s work required much travel and long absences when Lois was the family’s central strength, especially during Morton’s year long assignment in Europe leaving Lois at home with early teenagers. She made many friends, was active in the community and was a serious curler. After her children left home she resumed working. One position was in Ron Huntington’s riding office and she ended her career as a Home Care Supervisor in East Vancouver. Her children had married and begun their own families happily settling very close by her. She enjoyed the much time spent with family, cherishing her grandchildren, enjoying their many activities. Lois and Morton started ocean cruising and had great times at sea with friends and family. Lois deeply loved her family, her friends and the many pets through the years including Omali, Roscoe, Bo and now Charley. She is missed deeply. We love you Mama. Memorial Service will be held at First Memorial Boal Chapel, 1505 Lillooet Rd. North Vancouver, B.C. on Friday, November 5th at 2:00pm. In lieu of flowers please make donations in her name to Canadian Diabetes or a charity of your choice.

Wilma was born and raised in Eston, Saskatchewan. She attended the University of Saskatchewan at the young age of 16 and graduated with a Bachelor of Home Economics majoring in Dietetics. She was an early inspiration to her daughters as to the value of a post secondary education. After her internship at Vancouver General Hospital, she worked as a dietitian at Shaughnessy Hospital. Geoff and Wilma settled and raised their family in West Vancouver. Wilma enjoyed bridge, playing the piano, pottery and many family vacations on sea and land. Wilma will be remembered for her sense of humor, wit, her love and pride of her family, and great friendships with her many girlfriends. Thanks to the caregivers at Inglewood Care Home and her room mate Anna, table mates, Mary, Edith and Kathleen who provided her support and love in her last days. A special thank you to Dan, Joy and the Royalty Homecare girls, who provided mom with the care and patience that she thrived on in her last year.

TRIGG - Marjorie Mary (born Green) passed away peacefully on September 28, 2010 at the age of 90. Marjorie is survived by her son Dirk (Diane), daughter Sherry (Jeff), granddaughters Sabrina, Brooklyn, Merissa & Elysha and grandsons Adam, Quinn and Karsten. Marjorie is predeceased by her husband Alfred Trigg, and survived by her brother John Green, sister-in law Rita Green and 5 nephews and 5 nieces. She is also remembered by her many friends. Marjorie was born in Medicine Hat, Alberta and raised as a farm girl in southern Alberta as her parents Richard and Marjorie Green were English homesteaders. She graduated from Technical School in Calgary for dressmaking and millinery, a skill she used all of her life. Her first job in Vancouver (1948) was teaching dressmaking at Singers. Marjorie met her husband and many life long friends while living in a boarding house in the West End of Vancouver. Five years after their marriage in 1953, Marj and Alf built and moved into their house in North Vancouver where they lived for over 45 years. Ballroom dancing and travelling were among their favourite activities until the passing of Alf in 2003. Marjorie’s favourite trips included driving across Canada, cruising to Alaska, visiting family and friends in England and exploring the Arctic Circle. Marj and Alf were members of the North Shore Ballroom Dance Club for 23 years and participated in Sunday Tea Dances where they also made many friends. A 'celebration of life' will be held on Saturday November 20th at 2:30pm at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints located at 941 Lynn Valley Rd. in North Vancouver. In lieu of flowers, donations in Marjorie’s memory can be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada or the UBC Alzheimer Studies.

STYLISH and sophisticated, the all-new Inﬁniti M37x is a comfortable and easy-to-drive premium luxury sedan with a bevy of new advanced technologies. It is available at Regency Inﬁniti in the Northshore Auto Mall.

2011 Inﬁniti M37

New M37 a stylish sedan

David Chao and Bob McHugh Contributing Writers

INFINITI, the luxury division of Nissan, pulled the wraps off the 2011 edition of its ﬂagship M series sedan earlier this year.

Columnist DAVID CHAO reviews the 2011 Mazda2 next week in REV

It comes in both rear drive and all-wheel drive versions and has been completely redesigned inside and out, with very attractive long and slinky exterior styling lines. The M was designed around an idea called “organic body glove,” according to Ian Forsyth, director of product and corporate planning, Nissan Canada: “We wanted to build a vehicle that’s adaptive to the environment, different road types, different styles of driving and fits so well that it becomes an extension of the driver.” Since Infiniti abandoned its Q series, the M has become the flagship sedan of the luxury division. Under the hood, there’s now a choice of V-6 and V-8 engines, both have small increases in displacement and substantial increases in power. Yet, because of new technology advances, the new M consumes even less fuel, despite the power improvement. Infiniti Drive is a new feature that allows the driver to choose between Normal, Sport, Eco and Snow driving modes, via a rotary dial on the centre console. Each mode adjusts throttle sensitivity and transmission mapping, to help optimize performance and/or fuel economy. Green and yellow lights on the instrument panel provide additional feedback on driving efficiency while in the Eco mode. Plus, the system also provides physical feedback through the gas pedal, giving a slight pushback when driven inefficiently. A new start price of $52,400, for the

rear-drive M37 with a 3.7-litre V-6, is $3,100 less than the 2010 model. The new rear-drive M56, with a 5.6-litre V-8, sells for $66,200, which is $3,350 less than the 2010 version of the V-8 powered M. All-wheel drive adds $2,500 to the cost of an M, which then becomes the M37x or M56x. There’s optional Premium ($3,800), Touring (Premium plus $5,100 — AWD only) and Sport (Premium plus $7,200 — RWD only) packages; a fully loaded M56x tops out at $73,800. The increased power and torque offered by both engines comes from the use of continuously variable valve timing technology on both the intake and the exhaust valve systems. New variable valve event and lift (VVEL) technology has also been applied to the intake valves on both the V-6 and V-8 engines. In addition, the V-8 engine now comes with direct

fuel injection. The changes push V-6 power up nine per cent to 330 horsepower, while V-8 power is up almost 30 per cent to 420 h.p. and torque is increased 24 per cent to 417 foot-pounds. Surprisingly, fuel consumption is lower by 1.7 litres/100 kilometres on the highway (M56x) and 0.8 l/100 km on the highway (M37x). Both engines are mated to a new seven-speed automatic transmission. It has manual mode operation and steering wheel paddle shifters are available. New standard features, in addition to Inﬁniti Drive, are power folding sideview mirrors, front door handle courtesy lights, active noise control, a rear-view monitor, plus enhancements to Intelligent Key memory (which now includes audio,

See Sedan page 44

INFINITI has done a good job of integrating the M37’s audio and HVAC system controls into its stylish dash.

A biweekly roundup of automotive news good, bad and just plain weird: AJAC announces cars of the year Each year, the good people of the Automotive Journalist Association of Canada get together to drive Porsches and supercharged Cadillacs to decide which are the best cars currently on the market. Each year they fail to invite me. Was it something I said? Perhaps it’s just that everybody knows what will inevitably happen if someone hands me the keys to a 911 Turbo S. At any rate, unencumbered by the distraction of me barrelrolling off the racetrack, the voting members of AJAC narrowed down the ﬁeld and announced a winner for each car category; somewhat surprisingly, the domestic manufacturers have ousted import makes in several key categories. In the Small Car category we have the Ford Fiesta and Chevrolet Cruze taking top honours, the Buick Regal shares Best New Family Car with the VW Jetta Clean Diesel, and Cadillac’s thundering CTS-V Coupe takes Best New Sports Car. Other winners include that Porsche 911 Turbo S for Best Prestige Car, and the Toyota Sienna winning the hard-fought Best Minivan crown. However, the real story here is Ford and General Motors sweeping just under half of the categories, a huge improvement from even a few years ago.

navigation and climate control settings). The new M is a launch pad for an interesting collection of new technologies. There’s an active warning system called Blind Spot Intervention. In addition to alerting a driver to a vehicle in its blind-spot zone, selective brake intervention is used to help safely direct the M back into its lane of travel. A “Forest Air” system reduces unpleasant odours entering the cabin and provides a breeze-like airflow. Sensors automatically open and close air intake ports to reduce the intrusion of dust, other vehicle exhaust or unpleasant odours into the cabin. It uses filters and an air purifier to help remove allergens, mould and viruses in the air and it includes a humidity control feature. A special Sport Package is offered on the rear-wheel drive models and the Touring Package includes a Bose Studio Surround sound system with digital 5.1-channel decoding and 16 speakers. The looks Lower and wider, the new M has a long hood and short rear deck, which give it a highpowered profile that’s in tune with its longitudinal rear-drive powertrain. The M showcases Infiniti’s new design language and it’s a significant departure from the nice but simple styling lines of the outgoing model. It features a more fluid look with a lower belt line, a wavelike front and sculpted fenders that wrap around big wheels, which range from 18 to 20 inches in

Safety The M has a number of innovative technologies designed to help a driver avoid dangerous situations. In addition to the already mentioned blind-spot systems, they include Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) systems. The LDW and LDP systems use a camera behind the windshield to detect lane markers in front of the vehicle. If the driver does not heed the warning and return the vehicle back toward the centre of the

lane of travel, the LDP system will actively assist the driver with a gentle application of the brakes. Other available safety features include Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA) with Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Front Pre-Crash Seat Belts and Active Tracing Control, which adjusts engine torque and the control of braking at each of the four wheels helps enhance cornering performance.

THE 330 h.p. V-6 in the M37x is a little noisy when started from cold but provides more than enough power and makes a sweet sound when pushed to the limit.

the all-wheel drive system. Its seamless operation was imperceptible on the dry road conditions experienced during our time with the M37x, yet it’s a good feature to have in a Canadian winter. The 330-horsepower V-6 has more than ample power

and torque for most users. It’s a little noisy during its warm-up period when started cold, but only noticeable with the windows open. Other than that, it’s a sweet engine that makes nice sounds when pushed to its higher limits. The technology parade was a bit daunting at ﬁrst, but you learn to live with and love most

of them. The lane-departure system we found to be the most intrusive, particularly when driving on a winding country road with good sightlines. That said, there’s an “off” button for those times when you might want to intentionally wander close to, or over, the line. Being able to select driving modes using the Infiniti Drive is a clever feature. The change from Normal to Sport is subtle, yet effective. In the Eco mode the gas pedal push-back felt a little strange at first, but you can push through it if you need to get by something in a hurry. The score Stylish and sophisticated, the all-new Infiniti M37x is a comfortable and easy-to-drive
