Manh Van Dam was handed the sentence Tuesday in North Vancouver provincial court after pleading guilty to producing the pills between Sept. 7 and 11, 2009.

In handing down her sentence, Judge Carol Baird Ellan said she accepted that Dam was essentially a piece worker in the drug lab set up by others, who operated the pill press.

Dam’s role was to take powdered ecstasy and press it into pills, which were then collected and sold by other people.

A North Vancouver man is in hospital with brain injuries after being savagely beaten on a Lower Lonsdale crosswalk.

The 21-year-old and a companion were crossing the street outside a 7-Eleven convenience store at Chesterfield Avenue and West Third Street just before 11 p.m. Tuesday when a motorist passing through the intersection almost struck him, according to police.

When the victim yelled at the driver, the car stopped and swung back toward the pair. The passenger got out and walked toward them, allegedly claiming to have a gun and demanding that they

empty their pockets.

When the suspect produced a can of pepper spray, the men tried to flee, but he grabbed one of them and knocked him to the ground, according to police. The suspect allegedly sprayed the victim while he was down, punched him repeatedly in the head and kicked him before running away. The car also took off.

The injured man was later taken to Lions Gate Hospital with cuts and bruises, a concussion and bleeding in the brain. As of Wednesday afternoon, he had still not been released.

North Vancouver RCMP are hoping public can help them track down the alleged assailant. He’s described as a Caucasian man in his late 20s or early 30s, five feet ten inches tall, skinny, with a dark brown goatee. He was wearing a black T-shirt, black hoodie, black sweat pants and a black baseball cap. The suspect was last seen running south on Chesterfield Avenue.

Police believe the vehicle was an older model, grey Toyota Tercel.

Investigators want to speak with anyone who saw the alleged attack, especially the driver of the car and a witness they believe copied down its licence plate.

Anyone with information is asked to call the North Vancouver RCMP at 604-985-1311.

Municipalities gear up for snow Residents urged to make plans as well Benjamin Alldritt

A Vancouver man is facing weapons charges after he allegedly brandished a homemade gun during a drunken altercation in North Vancouver Nov. 11.

balldritt@nsnews.com

WITH meteorologists predicting a particularly cold, wet, La Niñainfluenced winter and local ski hills hoping for an early opening, the North Shore’s three municipalities are gearing up for snowfall.

The city and districts are urging residents to prepare themselves for conditions that could be similar to the heavy 2008 snowstorms.

Beforethesnowstartsfalling, stock up on food supplies and necessary medications. Make sure you have a shovel and a supply of salt for sidewalks and driveways. Property owners are responsible for clearing the sidewalk in front of their lots. Remember that in heavy snowfall, some services like garbage and recycling pickup may be suspended. Neighbours should also make a point of checking in on seniors and others who may have difficulty going outside in the snow.

All three local governments stressed that residents need to park their cars off the street wherever possible to help the snowplows get through.

Parked or abandoned cars were a serious hindrance for plow crews in 2008, particularly in narrow residential streets and cul-de-sacs.

If it does snow, parking regulations won’t change in the City of North Vancouver or the District of West Vancouver.

However, the District of

CITY of North Vancouver worker Theota Dancer clears the steps and pathway at Victoria Park during the heavy snowfalls of December 2008.

North Vancouver won’t be allowing parking in front of schools or on the east side of Nancy Greene Way. On Braemar Road and Dempsey Road between Lonsdale Avenue and Mountain Highway, overnight parking will be allowed on alternating sides of the street. Signs will be posted explaining the “oddeven” regime.

North Vancouver district has 18 plows and 700 tons of salt ready to be deployed.

West Vancouver has 11 plows, four backhoes and three salt spreaders. City crews, responsible for a much smaller area, have six plows and three backhoes.

The city is also hoping to

experiment with spreading salt water on streets to help prevent ice from forming. In another city trial, a section of East 23rd Street has been paved with Verglimit, a type of pavement pre-impregnated with a de-icing agent.

Local governments across the Lower Mainland faced criticism in the aftermath of the 2008 storms. North Vancouver district chief administrative officer David Stuart said some of the problem was a failure to set residents’ expectations.

“Like many municipalities, we were unprepared for the magnitude and length of the snowfall in 2008,” he said.

“The staff did an amazing job under the circumstances but

in many residents’ eyes it was not good enough. Learning from that experience, we are improving communications, have prepared more thoroughly and changed some of our practices. These include better co-ordination with schools, changing our parking regulations during times of heavy snowfall, ensuring access to greater amounts of salt, increasing our fleet of equipment and number of operators, and acquiring new equipment to deal with critical sidewalks.”

In the event of heavy snowfall, the priority for plow crews is to clear major arterial routes, particularly bus routes and those that provide access

to emergency services. When those are under control, crews will turn to collector streets and routes to schools. Only after these are cleared will they be tackling local streets.

In a sustained snowfall, crews may have to cycle back to reclear arterial routes and might not reach residential roads for some time.

All three municipalities will be posting up-to-date snow information on their websites. For those without Internet access, updates are available at 604-983-7333 for city residents, 604-9902255 for District of North Vancouver residents, and 604925-7003 for West Vancouver residents.

Burst water main triggers WV landslide James Weldon

jweldon@nsnews.com

MUNICIPAL crews and conservationists were sent scrambling Tuesday when a landslide in West Vancouver tore out the slope below a rail bridge and dumped a large quantity of mud into a salmon-bearing creek.

The collapse was triggered at about 12:30 p.m. when a burst water main apparently destabilized an incline above Cypress Creek near Morgan Crescent. A swathe of earth and trees about 100 metres wide and 200 metres high subsided into the waterway, taking a substantial length of the pipe with it.

No one was injured and no private property appears to have been damaged in the incident.

Work crews and firefighters rushed to the scene and cut off the water supply, suspending

service to nearby homes for about an hour before it could be rerouted.

The municipality and CN Rail, which manages the trestle bridge, brought in engineers to ensure the structure was sound and that the slope was in no further danger of collapse.

CN ultimately determined it was safe to allow rail service to continue uninterrupted.

West Vancouver was still attempting to establish the stability of the slope at the time of writing. There are no homes immediately above or below the slide.

The landslide was of particular concern to the West Vancouver Streamkeeper Society, which manages fish stocks in a number of waterways in the municipality.

The earth and debris landed near the mouth of the creek, in an area where pink salmon spawn. That means it might have buried their spawning beds, starving the eggs there of oxygen.

Society president John

Barker believes the damage may have been limited, however, by the fact the creek has been swollen by recent heavy rains.

The current probably cleared away most of the mud almost immediately, he said.

“I don’t think there’s going to be a huge loss of fish eggs,” said Barker. “But I can’t make that statement (definitively) until we’ve had a closer look.”

That won’t happen until the water level subsides.

Regardless, the coho that spawn in the creek were likely unaffected, he added, since they tend to spawn further upstream.

Compared to other North Shore waterways, Cypress Creek has a relatively small salmon population, with just two dozen or so pinks returning to spawn this season, said Barker. The society is hoping to boost that number soon with the installation of a fish ladder. Those plans will be unaffected by the mudslide he said.

It’s not clear yet what

Police were called at about 3:20 p.m. when the suspect and two companions reportedly got into a shouting match with the owner of a home in the 200-block of Paitsmauk Avenue.

The men, who were unknown to the resident, had entered the backyard and allegedly yelled threats.

At one point, one of the suspects pulled a single-shot improvised firearm, called a zip gun, according to police, and started waving it around.

West Vancouver officers arrived to find the men in the yard. A search of the premises turned up a homemade gun in a bush nearby. The men were arrested.

Adrian Narcisse, 27, has been charged with pointing a firearm, uttering threats, assault with a weapon, possession of a restricted weapon and other offences.

David Unick, 22, also from Vancouver, and Joshua Sunshine, 24, of no fixed address have been charged with uttering threats.

The men appeared in North Vancouver provincial court Nov. 12. Narcisse was held in custody until he returned to court Monday.

Metro closes Grouse Grind for the winter NORTH Vancouver’s famous uphill fitness test the Grouse Grind has closed for winter.

A landslide just north of Morgan Crescent took out soil and trees under a train bridge Tuesday night in West Vancouver. caused the main to rupture, but firefighters believe a tree, uprooted by the recent windstorm, may have yanked the 30-centimetre pipe out of the ground.

West Vancouver crews will be removing fallen trees from the creek, but the municipality is waiting for an engineer’s report before it decides what other remedial action to take.

“It’s all entirely dependent on weather conditions,” said Bill Morrell of Metro Vancouver, “and when we get snow at the top of the trail and slippery conditions, then we close it.”

For those who are sad to say farewell to their outdoor gym, there is a party at the top of Grouse this Saturday, Nov. 20, at Altitudes Bistro.

It is run by a non-profit organization and is free for anyone who enjoys hiking the Grind every year.

“It becomes such a part of your daily life,” said party organizer Sacha DeVoretz.

DeVoretz completed the grind 70 times this summer, with each step raising money for Doctors Without Borders.

Noises from garage suspicious From page 1 Highway — was the first one busted by police in the District of North Vancouver.

RCMP officers had originally been tipped off after the owner of the garage became suspicious of her tenant. According to information contained in a police search warrant application, the man, who called himself Danny Le, had rented the garage several months prior, telling the owner and her fiancé he planned to build a kit car inside.

They told police the man paid in cash, changed the locks, and papered the windows. He rarely returned to the garage, but a man he called his cousin — who turned out to be Dam — dropped by once a week for the whole day.

Previous tenants had used the space for car work, and the owner’s fiancé told the RCMP the noises from inside were not what he would expect. Instead, he told police he heard a rhythmic noise “like a printing press.”

The owner requested a key to the new lock and the couple

entered the garage Sept. 7 where they saw a belt-driven machine with a large funnel on top and plastic bags containing beige, pale green, and reddish brown powders.

When police officers wearing hazardous-materials suits later entered the garage under warrant, they found enough ecstasy to make 1,630 pills, precursor chemicals, a pill press and other equipment used in manufacturing the party drug.

Following the search, police kept the garage under observation, and arrested Dam outside the building several days later. Police said Dam was carrying more than half a kilogram of precursor chemicals at the time.

Dam’s defence lawyer told the judge Dam was a social user of ecstasy who had been approached by people and told he could make some extra money operating the pill press.

In handing down the sentence, the judge noted Dam had only a minor and unrelated criminal record, did not make the ecstasy itself and had substantial financial problems at the time he got involved in the drug lab.

West Van modernizes zoning bylaw language Niamh Scallan

nscallan@nsnews.com

WEST Vancouver’s zoning bylaw hasn’t changed since 1968 — the year Pierre Trudeau became Canada’s prime minister.

And it’s finally time for an upgrade, district councillors were told at a council meeting Monday night.

“A lot has changed since then, but little has changed in terms of that bylaw,” said Bob Sokol, the district’s director of planning, lands and permits. “We wanted to update (it) to a 2010 bylaw instead of a 1968 bylaw.”

Sokol and his team of district staff

began the lengthy process of updating the 42-year-old zoning bylaw document, more than 300 pages in length, 10 years ago. In a brief presentation to council Monday night, he told councillors that the update aims to provide clarity and currency, rather than changing or amending regulations. He said that complex, repetitive and antiquated language made the bylaw difficult to understand and enforce in the district.

Sokol also proposed amendments to West Vancouver’s subdivision bylaw that was adopted in 1955. He told councillors that district staff seek to remove the subdivision bylaw lot size regulations because they will be addressed in the rewritten zoning bylaw.

“This is intended to be a streamlining

and modernization of the document,” he said. “It is not intended to change the way land is regulated in the district.”

Council voted in favour of forwarding the updated zoning bylaw to a public hearing in December with the exception of Coun. Bill Soprovich, who argued that councillors and staff need more time to review the document before public consultation.

Mayor Pam Goldsmith-Jones expressed her support for district staff’s move to modernize the zoning bylaw.

“This is just the beginning of something that is long, long overdue,” she said.

A public hearing for the zoning bylaw will be held Dec. 13, 2010 at 7 p.m. at West Vancouver’s municipal hall.

Cut off I

F any further indication is needed that there’s nobody left steering the ship of state in B.C., the nowyou-see-it, now-you-don’t tax cut should put all doubt to rest.

Probably the only thing more shocking than cabinet apparently overruling their lame duck premier by cancelling the tax cut this week was the fact that Campbell announced it out of the blue in a paid political TV spot to begin with.

After telling the public for months that the economy is in deep trouble — one of the reasons for bringing in the hated HST and its bonus federal “transition” funding — Campbell appeared to defy logic by announcing on Oct. 27 a tax cut that would cost $600 million a year at a time when the province is still deep in deficit.

Tax cuts are usually popular moves.

Not so this time. Instead, the cut was seen as a crass political attempt to buy the public with its own money.

But two weeks in B.C. politics is a long time. Fast-forward to this Wednesday, when cabinet abruptly cancelled the tax cut to give Campbell’s successor a clean slate in setting the agenda. Not coincidentally, it also leaves more money in the kitty for a new Liberal leader intent on wooing the electorate.

This would all be laughable if it wasn’t so serious.

Time was, tax policy was a significant issue in government that would be announced in conjunction with a budget.

These days, however, it’s just another political beanbag to toss about.

This is no way to run a government.

Not necessarily property tax

Dear Editor: After reading your Nov. 14 editorial, Highway Robbery, we wanted to clarify some key points of the proposed TransLink supplement for your readers.

First and foremost, there is no funding crisis; TransLink’s funding is stable; we are fully-funded and able to sustain current service levels.

This level of service for Metro Vancouverites is the culmination of seven years of aggressive — and unprecedented — expansion throughout the region.

However, additional projects have been identified as vital to the continued sustainable growth of Metro Vancouver, such as the Evergreen Line and the first portion of a major road improvement in New Westminster and Coquitlam.

These are time-sensitive projects that, unless schedules change, require the region to make a funding commitment by the end of December in order to meet the criteria for almost $500 million in federal funding.

Proceeding only with these two projects is one option before the mayors’ council.

The second option includes the opportunity to add a number of other strategically important road and transit improvements — particularly for the North Shore and the South of Fraser areas — so that residents across the region would benefit from the enhancements. That’s the plan TransLink’s board has recommended. On the North Shore, we have proposed to upgrade the Lonsdale Quay SeaBus terminal with better lighting, seating and security features; upgrade SeaBus service to 15-minute frequency all day, every day; and increase service in high traffic areas, such as from Marine Drive to Downtown Vancouver and along Lonsdale Avenue.

While the decision to proceed with either — or none — of the options presented rests with the mayors’ council, TransLink recognizes

CONTACT US

that property tax is not an ideal funding mechanism.

For that reason, we have offered to fund the first year of this new three-year plan from our reserves, something we’re able to do because of the cost-cutting and efficiencies we have undertaken in the last three years. This would give the mayors’ council and the provincial government 12-15 months to act on the memorandum of understanding they signed in late September and develop a new source of funding for the plan, meaning that property taxes would be the fallback funding mechanism only if no other source emerged.

To paraphrase Canada’s wartime prime minister, Mackenzie King, “property tax if necessary, but not necessarily property tax.”

In addition to the improvements we’ve proposed, North Shore residents have benefitted from a number of enhancements to the transportation network in recent years, including the arrival of new lowfloor-accessible Nova buses; the third SeaBus, which allows two-boat service for longer periods and, as operations funding comes available, three-boat service at times; the new Dollarton Bridge, which provides safer routes for pedestrians and cyclists; improvements on Capilano Road, which also benefit pedestrians and cyclists; and the Marine Drive bus lanes in North and West Vancouver, which are currently under construction and will allow for more reliable bus connections between the districts and into Vancouver, thereby making public transit even more of a viable alternative to private vehicles.

Improvements to North Shore transit will continue as TransLink refines routes and schedules to maximize the benefits people receive from its transit expansion.

With the majority of North Shore residents making their daily commute to other places across Metro Vancouver, they will also make good use of other transit improvements across the region.

Ken Hardie TransLink Communication

Running with the fox and the hounds

Dear Editor: Rich Coleman is paid to be solicitor general and public safety minister, but obviously feels torn about protecting the public against death and injury from drunken driving, as he feels there should be “discretion” in enforcing the new law.

This implies: “We made the law, but you don’t have to take it seriously.” This attitude is called talking out of both sides of your mouth, or running with the fox and the hounds.

This “tough law” which makes 0.05 the cutoff level for impaired driving is scarcely tough — it only reflects the standard in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Holland, Norway, Portugal and Spain.

If Mr. Coleman is worried about losing the bar, restaurant and alcohol vote, he should take comfort in the increased job opportunities for taxi drivers who can pick up fares to and from restaurants and bars to make up for the loss of airport business because of the Canada Line.

Campbell may have to go

HE says he’s stepping down as premier, but Premier Gordon Campbell’s vow to stay on at the helm until a successor is chosen is creating some awkward tension within the B.C. Liberal government.

And that tension is threatening to boil over into public view, with some very messy infighting looming on the horizon.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett, who seems incapable of not speaking his mind, has been the first B.C. Liberal MLA to go public with his view that Campbell should leave now, with an interim leader being appointed in his stead.

I’ve talked to several of his caucus colleagues — some in cabinet and some outside of it — who agree with his assessment. We’ll see if anyone else goes public with their thoughts.

Others — such as Community Development Minister Kevin Krueger — think it’s just fine for their boss to remain where he is.

The biggest problem with Campbell sticking around for a fairly long time (it will be at least late February, if not later, before the party gets around to choosing a new leader) is that it handcuffs his successor and diminishes the party’s chance of

View from the Ledge Keith Baldrey

essentially “re-branding” itself along lines more palatable to the public than what it’s been getting from a Campbell-led government.

The looming change in leadership is also problematic for the government because it will occur at arguably the most critical time of the year — the introduction of a new budget, and a throne speech that outlines the proposed legislative agenda.

If Campbell remains in charge for those two pivotal events, how can anyone in government make a credible argument that things are going to be done differently in the year ahead?

And as long as Campbell remains premier, it will remain very difficult for any of his would-be successors to criticize him or make a clean break with any of the policies associated with him.

To offer just a few examples: What if a leadership candidate proposed to raise the minimum wage, restore arts funding and scrap that 15 per cent income tax cut that Campbell sprung on an unsuspecting B.C. Liberal caucus?

None of those policies is particularly radical and it’s quite conceivable a candidate (or two) will adopt at least one of them. But that would mean taking on the boss, and it’s hard to see how a candidate could remain in cabinet if they clash with Campbell.

There are two precedents for the B.C. Liberal caucus to fall back on.

In 1991, the Social Credit caucus chose Rita Johnston to be premier, taking over from a disgraced Bill Vander Zalm.

And in 1999, the NDP caucus chose Dan Miller to take over the premier’s office from Glen Clark.

There are those who say the B.C. Liberal party constitution does not allow a party leader to be chosen in any method other than that agreed to by members of the party. But that is a meaningless argument.

Parliamentary tradition stipulates that a caucus — not a political party — can choose the person to lead that caucus.

It may be possible, in fact, for the caucus to vote for a new premier — even if Campbell remains the leader of the B.C. Liberal party.

I’m filing this column on Monday. The B.C. Liberal caucus meets on Friday. By announcing he was stepping down, Campbell avoided one potentially divisive caucus meeting.

But I’m not sure he can emerge unscathed from the next one.

••• Meanwhile, the other political leader who is in trouble with her own party is facing a pivotal meeting of her own. NDP leader Carole James meets with the party’s provincial council this coming weekend in Victoria.

Despite the internal grumbling over her leadership, I don’t think she’s facing a rough ride from the party activists. Those demanding that she step down as leader are, for the most part, voices from the past (ex-MLAs like Corky Evans, Dale Lovick and Helmut Giesbrecht) or a small minority (five of 85 constituency association executives).

And New Democrats clamouring for a change at the top have to ask themselves this key question: Do they want to be known as the party that allowed a bunch of left-wing males to push a moderate female from the job?

I didn’t think so.

First bite SHAWN Donnelly (left) and Sean Milne display the 52-pound spring salmon they caught recently in the Capilano River at Cable Pool. Donnelly, 12, is an accomplished fisherman and was teaching his friend how to fish when they got a bite. Donnelly set the hook and passed the rod to Milne who fought the fish for 30 minutes on 20-pound test line before landing his first salmon ever.

City to reinstall Cold War air raid siren

DNV may look at park sponsorship

DESPITE its esthetic shortcomings and unhappy associations, City of North Vancouver councillors concluded Monday that

“If we hadn’t taken down the air raid siren we wouldn’t have heard anything about it,” said Coun. Rod Clark, who also noted that a resident had donated $100 in the 1990s towards an interpretive plaque.

This was finally made as part of the work in September.

“I would prefer to keep as a reminder of the Cold War.” Veterans groups and the city’s heritage advisory commission also supported replacing the siren. Of the 101 residents who offered their opinion to the city, 66 wanted to keep it.

“The Cold War was an odd period, confusing for many of us,” Coun. Guy Heywood said. “What the benefit of an air raid siren might have been, I’m not sure. But nevertheless I am convinced it is an important historical artifact.”

Coun. Bob Fearnley, however, was not convinced and called for another round of public consultation.

He proved to be the only dissenting vote in a 6-1 decision to return the siren to Victoria Park.

THE District of North Vancouver’s parks department wants to explore partnerships with businesses and advertisers to help fund parks projects.

“We’re looking for creative solutions,” parks planning section manager Susan Rogers told councillors at a recent district workshop.

Staff asked councillors to consider business sponsorship and advertising as a way to finance parks projects like public events and trail maintenance.

Rogerssaidtheparksdepartment looked at examples of municipal park-business partnerships in Canada and the United States.

Many U.S. parks successfully use sponsorship signage, vendor agreements, special events advertising and “adopt-a-park” See Mayor page 11

PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING

A development permit application has been submitted by Marquetechture Inc. on behalf of the owner, Executive Marine Ltd., for the properties at 1265-1279 Marine Drive.

You are invited to a meeting to discuss the project.

Date: Wednesday, November 24, 2010 Time: 5:00-7:00pm Location of Meeting: Grouse Inn Motel, 1633 Capilano Road The application proposes construction of a single four-storey building, including approx. 6,100 square feet of ground floor commercial space fronting Marine Drive. The upper three floors will comprise 24 condominium apartment units. A mix of underground and surface parking is proposed, with a total of 49 parking spaces. A variance to parking requirements is proposed - the Zoning Bylaw requires 52 parking spaces on the site, so a variance to reduce parking by three spaces would need to be issued to accommodate the development.

the city’s Cold Warera air raid siren is a piece of history worth keeping.

Park, asked council to find a new place for the siren, such as the Shipyards Precinct.

“It was such a positive feeling to see the siren come down and it was devastating to hear there was a plan to put it back up,” she said.

“There are many people in my building who look at this siren from their window every day and were greatly relieved when it came down because of their memories during the war both here and in Europe.”

Heese said the 50-year-old object harkened back to an era of fear, mistrust and suspicion, and clashed with the park’s war memorial. On a more practical note, Heese said the siren was a magnet for pigeons to perch on and young people to climb.

City resident Jeff Stuart didn’t debate the esthetics of the siren but recalled his memories of the Cold War and asked council to reinstall the siren.

“We should keep this thing,” he said. “Not all history is pretty or beautiful . . . I want to tell my son and future generations the fear we

siren was deactivated in 1988 and ultimately purchased by the city in 1995.

Several councillors admitted to having forgotten the siren was there at all. But it returned to council’s attention in September when crews took it down for minor repairs and repainting. Refurbishing and replacing the siren will cost taxpayers $8,300.

RETIRED MLA Dan Jarvis (left) was honoured with a certificate for outstanding community service Monday during the District of North Vancouver’s council meeting. Longtime council observer and community association activist Corrie Kost (centre) also received recognition for outstanding contributions from Mayor Richard Walton.

Mayor suggests cautious partnership approach From page 10 sponsorship programs to increase park revenue, she said.

Coun. Doug MacKay-Dunn voiced support for possible corporate partnerships to help fund parks programs and facilities, noting the district’s financial challenges since the economic downturn.

“If we are going to be providing these services, we’re going to have to look at different ways of doing it,” he said.

Coun. Alan Nixon agreed with MacKay-Dunn saying, “it’s time to swallow our pride” and begin discussing partnerships with businesses to be able to afford enhanced parks for the public.

But other councillors expressed caution over partnerships with businesses that may not reflect the district’s vision.

“I’m not philosophically opposed, but . . . we have to move ahead cautiously,” Mayor Richard Walton said. “I think we should spend a bit of time pursuing it.”

Erin McPhee emcphee@nsnews.com

BALLET B.C. opened its 2010/2011 season last night at Vancouver’s Queen Elizabeth Theatre with a bang, featuring a diverse program of pieces discussing the qualities and the temperaments of the human condition.

The contemporary ballet company opted to launch its 25th anniversary season with Songs of a Wayfarer and Other Works, showcasing its mission and talent of company members.

The season incorporates choreographers from across Canada, as well as around the world, and in total features seven world, one Canadian and two Vancouver premieres.

“It’s really an exciting body of new work,” says artistic director Emily Molnar.

The milestone season is especially exciting in light of Ballet B.C.’s recent financial challenges. In its 2008/2009 season, as a result of a number of factors — mainly the economic downturn — the company came very near to claiming bankruptcy, and closed its

doors and laid off its dancers.

“It was hard for everyone,” says Molnar, who, following a subsequent shift in the organization’s artistic leadership, was brought in as interim director in June 2009 and named permanent director in March 2010.

Things have since turned around for the company — something Molnar attributes to its long-standing commitment to excellence. “We’ve had nothing but the best collaborators and some of the best dancers — just a beautiful group of individuals,” she says.

In addition, the company has always been about creation, seeing most of the work presented being new and specifically created for the company.

“That creates a certain energy in the work as opposed to just bringing existing work,” says Molnar.

“Both are very valid, but when you’re having work being created on your dancers, there’s a relationship and an intimacy to the work that makes it very personal.”

Like a lot of smaller arts organizations, Ballet B.C. has remained flexible, enabling it to cope successfully in trying times.

“Sometimes when you’re a larger organization, it can be harder, because you’re not as easily able to be malleable,” says Molnar. “I think we’ve been resilient and we’ve also had a very strong vision and a strong desire to bring great dance to our audience and so I think everybody that’s been a part of the organization for the past 25 years has had pretty much a very similar vision in that sense. It may look different to

some degree, but there’s always been a driving desire to push the art form forward and at the same time have a conversation with our audience about dance.”

In recent months, Ballet B.C. has taken steps to grow its audience; and, heighten awareness of its presence in the community as well as its interest in mounting more contemporary and modern work.

To that end, last month, on a rainy fall morning, representatives passed out hundreds of tutus, a common item associated with classical ballet, along Vancouver’s Seymour Street.

“We wanted people to know that we are a ballet company but we also do new work that needs classical training, but is taking ballet to where it has been now, for many years in Europe — and that’s what we’re about,” says Molnar.

“Ballet has evolved like any of the art forms and we are doing a little bit of it all,” she adds.

Last night’s opening, Songs of a Wayfarer and Other Works, is exemplary of this current approach.

“The evening is very interwoven and very expressive, but very diverse,” says Molnar. “It’s three very different comments on the human condition.”

The first piece, Songs of a Wayfarer, was choreographed by Molnar and created for the Alberta Ballet in March 2010.

“It’s a piece that’s very expressive and very much a poetic landscape,” she says.

While mounting the work has been challenging See Costumes page 38

AUSTRALIA native Stu Coleman will share highlights of his trip along the Olympic Peninsula and the Oregon Coast at A Few Degrees South — part of the Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival Speaker Series, Tuesday, Nov. 23.

Cruising the coast Manisha Krishnan

STU Coleman has always had a thing for the sea.

The 36-year-old Australia native grew up in Apollo Bay, three hours from Melbourne in the state of Victoria.

“There’s a very well-known coastal drive (called) Great Ocean Road and I grew up smack bang in the middle of that, 800 metres from the beach,” says Coleman.

“There’s a certain attachment to the ocean.”

The outdoor adventurer used to spend a lot

of time surfing, but lately that’s taken a back seat to cycling. So his hopes were set on doing some coastal riding on his two major cycling tours along the Olympic Peninsula and the Oregon coast.

Coleman and his partner Anik Choiniere will be sharing the highs and lows of both trips at A Few Degrees South — part of the Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival Fall Speaker Series.

“I’ll kind of break it down on a bit of a day to day basis,” says Coleman.

“I’ll . . . add my personal take on my individual trials and tribulations.”

■ Boston Marriage by David Mamet, a First Impressions Theatre Company production at Deep Cove Shaw Theatre to Nov. 27. Information: 604-929-9456.

UNLIKE the three other community theatre groups on the North Shore that function out of a “club” format, First Impressions Theatre has survived for more than 25 years because of the commitment of producers Michael and Eileen Smith.

Eschewing the limelight and never on stage, this couple has doggedly persevered with the financial challenge of making ends meet from theatre. Over the years, they have given countless aspiring actors their first chance, some of whom have gone on to find success at

AMANDA C. Marier and Krissy Jesudason star as Anna and Claire in Boston Marriage, showing at the Deep Cove Shaw Theatre until Nov. 27. the professional level. Those connections have reaped occasional rewards as Deep Cove audiences have had the pleasure of watching actors like Patti Harras (Jake and the Kid) perform on stage with local up-and-comers.

Danielle Benzon, the director of Boston Marriage, has worked mostly backstage with First Impressions in the past (but was excellent in her first big role in 2008’s Humble Boy). Since then, she has studied at the East 15 Acting Conservatory in the U.K. Letting Benzon direct

Boston Marriage is typical of the loyalty the Smiths show to their proteges.

It’s also a bit of a risk in terms of the script by David Mamet. Mamet, one of the premier playwright’s of the late 20th century (his Speed the Plow will be produced at Presentation House next year) is famous for fast-paced, spare dialogue that plays with the notion of communication even while advancing plot (rent Glengarry Glen Ross or check it out on YouTube).

But the two plays referenced and others, not least Ameri-

can Buffalo, are plays about men and male dominance.

Boston Marriage broke that mold in 1999, either in an attempt to redress the balance or to create a role for Mamet’s wife. But it still feels like men talking to me.

The term “Boston marriage” may have been popularized by novelist Henry James to denote an intimate friendship between two women, often sharing a household.

Mamet’s play revolves around an Edwardian-era relationship See Set page 35

FILM

Latest Potter flick packed with spooky thrills

Reel Life

Julie Crawford ■ Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One. Directed by David Yates.

Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert

Grint.

Rating: 7 (out of 10) The penultimate film in the wildly successful Harry Potter franchise is so far removed in tone from the first one, that had you not seen all six films in succession you might think it was a different story altogether.

You might, except for Harry himself. Sure, actor Daniel Radcliffe has beefed up a little over the years, but there’s no mistaking those trademark Groucho glasses, and eyebrows to match. The audience has grown up alongside the actors (who averaged age 11 when they filmed the first instalment), thus the need for

a more mature, more potent conclusion to J.K. Rowling’s canny magic.

David Yates, who directed the last two films, is the man in charge of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part One, and of Part Two, which is set for a July 15 release next year. Yates ensures that things are intense from the start, with Scrimgeour (Bill Nighy) vowing to save the Ministry of Magic and assuring terrified muggles that they have nothing to fear. Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) is on the loose, remember, and has infiltrated the ministry, waging a Third-Reich-style propaganda campaign against “mudbloods”. At times the

world outside Hogwart’s resembles a post-apocalyptic war zone.

Harry’s ungrateful family flees for the countryside, leaving him in an empty house, filled only with bad memories of life beneath the stairs. Hermione’s (Emma Watson) break with her parents is heart-wrenching: hoping to protect them, she waves her wand and with one word — “obliviate” — wipes their memories clean of their daughter. Ron (Rupert Grint) also leaves the happy Weasley home and the trio exile themselves, camping in the most remote (and

SUNLIGHT filters through the forest along the Oregon coast, which Coleman and partner Anik Choiniere rode along for 12 days.

Take time for side trips From page 14

The trip around the Olympics three years ago was Coleman’s first lengthy cycling trip, spanning a total of 850 kilometres over 13 days of riding.

Although he wasn’t able to do as much coastline riding as he’d wanted, there were plenty of other upsides including great weather and terrain.

“You do get the opportunity to ride through some really nice forests and some of the areas that you camp are quite stunning with access to the beach. That was one of our days was just spent wandering on the beach,” says Coleman, explaining the couple took three rest days during their journey.

In retrospect, Coleman says he would’ve allotted some extra time for exploring the region.

“There’s so much that you can do there,” he says.

“If you spend more time there you could allow for some of those longer side trips, whether it be cycling up into the heart of some of the rainforests or cycling up into the Hurricane Ridge in Port

Angeles. Those are places you could get to, places that are very accessible on a cycling trip,” he says.

While traffic wasn’t too bad during Coleman’s first trip, it was definitely busier along the Oregon coast, he says. Ironically, Coleman says he was less in shape during that 12-day tour and it didn’t help that the terrain was a lot hillier than the Olympic Peninsula.

“I was a hurt bag for the first five or six days,” says Coleman.

Nonetheless, he got to enjoy the coastline and managed to fulfill another goal of riding through the Redwood Forests of Northern California.

Coleman wants people to know that these types of trips are accessible from Vancouver and it’s not necessary to have a car to do it.

“There are fantastic transport options, you can ferry, bus and train and all those elements make for quite a diverse and fun experience.”

FILM

Supporting cast shines From page 16 cinematically impressive) locales while they hunt down the Horcruxes.

The what? If you forgot to brush up on your Potter before you headed out to the theatre, you might need reminding that Horcruxes are the key to Voldemort’s power, and they must all be destroyed, as per Dumbledore’s deathbed instruction in the last film. These seemingly ordinary objects house pure evil capable of fighting off death and preying on the insecurities of the wearer, in one instance showing a jealous Ron a vision of an unclothed Harry making out with an equally nude Hermione (within PG-rated confines, of course).

Yes, the sexual tension is amped up, too. Before leaving on his quest, Harry sneaks in a kiss with Ginny Weasley (Bonnie Wright) but Ron is convinced that Harry has his eye on Hermione. The love triangle eventually ruins the working relationship between the three, and one of the friends goes rogue for a spell.

In the meantime, the deathly hallows are explained, via an impressive but stylistically jarring bit of animation. Voldemort is after the three things described in the story, as possession of all three guarantees “all-powerful death.”

Things are spooky, indeed. Harry has scary flashbacks, dreams and visions of he-who-shall-not-be-named. There’s a bit of torture, and a death. And filmmakers conjure up plenty of things that will make you jump in your seat, creating a horrormovie atmosphere rather than the magi-drama we’re expecting.

Of course, Yates can’t keep up the frenetic pacing for the film’s entire 146 minutes, and frankly, the lags in action are a welcome respite.

Effects and stunts are fabulous, as one would expect.

Creatures (Dobby is back!) are convincingly drawn, and onground fight-and-flight sequences are easy to follow. But the audience will particularly enjoy the transformation of Potter protectors into multiple Harrys, a tactic meant to throw the Death Eaters off the real Harry’s scent. We get a glimpse of a half Ron, half Harry at one point and even get to see Harry in a bra, as one of the female characters changes forms.

Grint and Watson do most of the work here (Radcliffe will get his chance in the concluding film) and make us care for their plight even as they are shouting expositional lines to help viewers make sense of it all. A ridiculously talented supporting cast includes Ralph Fiennes, Bill Nighy, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, Julie Walters, David Thewlis, Robbie Coltrane, Brendan Gleeson, Imelda Staunton, Timothy Spall, Rhys Ifans and John Hurt, to name just a few.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to FASHION & STYLE

mattie à la mode

Boots and bags add polish Dear Mattie: What is more important this season, a new handbag or new shoes?

Lost in Lynn Valley

Dear Lynn Valley: Actually, not only are handbags and shoes both pretty important this fall season — boots are too. These accessories are statement pieces. That means that they stand out with lots of style and personality. This season’s clothing style is so minimalist, that ladies are going to have to use their accessory to pack their fashion punch.

Keep in mind that this season is very sensible and functional. So, crazy over-the-top looks are not in fashion. There is a hip, street-smart trend that has a very urban appeal. The accessory look is very downtown. You have things to carry and places to walk to, with as much style as you can carry.

There is an order of importance. Boots are always a must in every fall wardrobe. If you can manage one casual pair and one fancy pair, then you are good to go. I usually reserve black for fancy occasions and brown for casual outings.

Boots are definitely comfortable with lots of whimsy. Even the heels are comfortable as the wedge heel is still in fashion and can be found in pumps and desert boots.

Riding boots have the same style as in the past, yet the colour of the leather needs to be rich, in brown or black. The Frye boot puts a smile on my face as they are back in fashion with a vengeance and I used to wear them in high school. They are by far the best casual boot this season.

For trendier boot styles, look for glossy leather with detailing. The buckles are shiny and noticeable. Many lace-up boots have ribbon instead of regular laces. There is fur or fringe trim on ankle to mid-calf boot styles.

Boots and handbags really incorporate a lot of detailing this season.

The next in order of importance is your handbag.

It is a great time to buy a new handbag because there is a lot of styling in the bag. Handbags are structured with intriguing design elements.

Bags inspired by the Hermès Kelly bag are a great option for a fancy or professional look. The messenger bag is also popular this season. Both can be finished in regular canvas or leather as well as be embossed in a less than neutral leather colour. The Kelly bag has hard leather handles with its classic frame. The messenger bag integrates contrast suede straps. Although both of these bags have traditional attributes, their detailing can really make a statement for you.

Shoes are pretty easy this season.

The ballerina flat is available in every variation, with bows and hardware.

Loafers and oxfords are back in fashion from their classic styling to an edgier, contrast leather, bolder stitching and wedge heel. The newest trend in shoes this season is the kitten heel. This vintage shoe is the hottest shoe for both professional and dressy looks.

Accessories are not about high fashion. They are not about how much money you have spent. Fashion is about the modern look with your personality and some edginess on the side. The right rubber boots and backpack will also work this season, as long as they have the right trendy detailing and colour.

Adieu, Mattie

Celebrate sustainable chic Terry Peters

CLOTHING and textiles are among the biggest industries on the planet.

■ Eco Fashion, by Sass Brown, Laurence King Publishers, 207 pages, $41.

Billions of dollars trade hands and mountains of clothes are created every year. The industry has been slow to embrace a sustainable

$35

approach but there are some designers who are showing how clothes can look great and also be eco friendly.

As a professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and a designer with her own line of women’s sportswear, Sass Brown is immersed in fashion.

With a global perspective she has gathered together a collection of designers who are on the leading edge of sustainability. Their work involves aspects of recycling, sustainable manufacturing processes, diversion of waste materials from landfills,

personal shopper

fair trade and community development.

Brown features 62 designers and their work.

Each one is introduced with a description of their approach.

The styles range from casual loungewear to runway couture and all of it is beautifully photographed. Noir, Linda Loudermilk, Geoffrey B. Small, Vivienne Westwood are just a few of the designers who are included.

These artists are leading a movement that takes responsibility for their process and the people who provide the materials and the labour to make them.

Create your own crafts THIS year’s One of a Kind Show will offer visitors the opportunity to craft their own one-ofa-kind creations.

The contemporary craft show opens Dec. 9 and runs to Dec. 12 at the new Vancouver Convention Centre.

New this year is the I Heart Sewing Salon. Join fashion designer Sheila Wong at her on-site SWFDS sewing studio where novices and the sewing curious will be guided through the making of tote bags, baby bibs, wearable flowers and throw pillows. All on-site classes will be complimentary and limited to just eight students. Complete class schedules are now online at www.oneofakindvancouver.com.

Featured at the show are one-of-a-kind handmade items crafted by artisans from across Canada and the United States.

JUST as the fluffy flakes are about to fall, those Cougar boots you kicked around in as a kid are back on store shelves.

The Canadian boot company founded in 1948 and popularized in the ’70s with stratospheric sales of its pillow boot has introduced a collection of fashion-forward footwear for women. The collection takes rough weather classics like the rubber rain boot and suede laceup and dresses them up with details like lug soles, faux fur, belts, buckles and cuffs. Destined to become a new favourite is the puffer boot ($200) pictured here. Find the Cougar collection at Zig Zag in Edgemont Village and Soft Moc in Park Royal Shopping Centre.

Jack & Lola in Lower Lonsdale carries Cougars for kids.

FILM

Financial crisis inspires Canadian filmmaker Benjamin Alldritt

balldritt@nsnews.com

PEOPLE are all but enslaved, their energy output monitored and controlled.

Groups of strangers begin to assemble in everlarger groups, driven by a mysterious common impulse.

And hundreds of people around the world are being murdered in broad daylight by an invisible assailant.

This is the strange world of Popular Unrest, a new film

by Canadian artist Melanie Gilligan. Presentation House Gallery is bringing the Toronto-born artist to UBC Tuesday, Nov. 23 to speak about her career and the new film.

Available for viewing on the Internet, Popular Unrest uses the conventions of science fiction television to delve into the human impact of 21st-century economics.

“It’s a fiction film, a narrative film, contrary to what you might normally get in an art gallery setting,” Gilligan told the North Shore News from London, England.

“I’m using mainstream narrative film format and there are certain references to genres like science fiction

and other things going in the film. It’s happening in the future, although it’s not clear exactly when — maybe a few years, maybe several. And there’s several mysterious phenomena going on. For me the film was a way of looking at contemporary political conditions, post the economic crisis. Through the format of fiction, extrapolate scenarios from the present situation.”

The flow of credit and capital around the world is a long-standing interest of Gilligan’s. As far back as 2004, when global markets still seemed bulletproof, Gilligan was starting to put together a what-if film called Crisis in the Credit System. The work was prophetic; the timing was perfect. Crisis in the Credit System was released only weeks after Wall Street giant Lehman Brothers collapsed in the wake of a real-life global crisis.

“We’re going through times that are very much determined by what’s going on in the economy,” she said.

“Especially in England, where I am right now, there’s a sense of how much is changing in the social fabric because of the toll the recession has taken and the economic crisis has taken. I’m very interested in

The fictional movie examines an future world post financial crisis. using my work to reflect the politics of everyday life but also to look at these things from a different angle than

you would get from reading an article about it or watching a documentary. I see fiction and also art as ways of looking

at things differently and explore very different sides.”

Duo launch reusable sandwich bag line Erin McPhee

emcphee@nsnews.com

WHEN Anahita Shahrvini heard that Capilano elementary, her son’s school, was working towards zero garbage lunches, she not only opted to do her part to help, she opted to help others as well.

Initially, the North Vancouver resident made some reusable fabric bags for her son to use, though based on positive feedback from his kindergarten teacher, she teamed up with her mother, Rouhangiz Bahramshahry, to launch Gogo Bags, a line of reusable fabric sandwich, snack, cutlery and foldable shopping bags.

“We started designing the perfect bag that even a one-year-old can use,” she says.

enviro event

Shahrvini conducted research, including contacting Health Canada, to determine the safest fabric to use in light of the bags coming in contact with food.

Their bags are created out of 100 per cent cotton and are machine and dryer safe. They’re also double layered to prevent the contact of food with printed fabric and are seamless to avoid food particles becoming trapped and the potential growth of bacteria.

“I have to say, since I started using them, I haven’t gone back to plastic bags or Ziploc bags or things like that,” says Shahrvini.

Their products’ prices are as follows: $7 for sandwich bags; $5 for snack bags; and $4 for cutlery holders.

For the Christmas season, Gogo Bags have added wine bags to their offerings. Prices for these, as well as for their foldable shopping bags vary, based on material.

Clash of the Cans: A sustainability awareness event led by students at Capilano University will take place Wednesday, Nov. 24, 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. in the Birch Cafeteria, 2055 Purcell Way, North Vancouver.

Community members interested in checking out the bags, can visit Shahrvini and Bahramshahry’s table at the Delbrook recreation centre’s Christmas Craft Fair, on Nov. 21 and Dec. 5, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $1.

As Gogo Bags has just gotten off the ground, Shahrvini says she plans to continue to work on their website and to market their wares to other green-focused businesses and online stores. As well, she hopes to use the bags as a fundraising tool for her son’s and other local schools. For more information on Gogo Bags, visit www. gogobags.ca or email Shahrvini at anahita@gogobags.ca.

ANAHITA Shahrvini (right) and her mother Rouhangiz Bahramshahry launched Gogo Bags in an effort to offer parents an alternative when packing children’s lunches.

There will be visual displays, contests and artwork to get people thinking about sustainability in a creative way. There will also be a competition between corporate sponsored teams of students and faculty to see who can create the most dynamic and interesting piece of sustainable art from recycled cans.

CALENDAR

Set design unimpressive From page 15 between two such women: Anna and Claire.

As the play opens, the younger of the two, Claire, arrives to find Anna’s house newly redecorated and Anna herself wearing an expensive necklace. Anna, it transpires, has become the mistress of a rich man.

Clearly there is intimate history between the two women, but that is now challenged by Claire’s announcement that she hopes to use Anna’s house to seduce a “much, much younger” girl.

The emotions that are triggered by this exchange of news are meant to illustrate the depth of feeling the two women share for each other — dalliances aside. Anna’s anger is expressed in the way she treats her naive Scottish housemaid, Catherine. It becomes an onging piece of comedy as Anna continues to call Catherine “Bridey” and “Nora” while lecturing on Irish Home Rule and the causes of the Irish famine. Alicia Novak’s Catherine is a delight.

It’s an extraordinarily difficult first act, perhaps unplayable, because the truth is constantly masked and Mamet keeps taking time out to be clever as he does throughout the play — there’s nothing so funny as a good “muff” joke between lesbians I guess.

Amanda C. Marier as Anna and Krissy Jesudason do their best. Both are skilled actors — Marier’s vocal range is powerful enough to elicit shivers — but on second night I did not feel an emotional connection between the characters. Without it, the twists and turns of their wants, deals and compromises become game-playing — no more important than the “cleverness” that colours their communication: “Byzantine rodomontade” indeed.

Rita Arhipov’s set and costumes don’t help. Instead of Edwardian Boston, we get stylish but no-era costumes. That would be fine if the furniture was, perhaps, futuristic or stylishly modern. That might throw the focus onto Sapphic fun and games — and is even supported by Mamet’s delight in throwing occasional clunky modern metaphors into pseudo-Wildean banter — but instead, the representational set is a jumble of almost-antiques that includes a chaise too small to allow the women to play on it and an electric, fake-log fireplace insert.

It’s as odd a duck as Mamet’s script.

due to her busy schedule as artistic director, it’s proved to be well worth it and extremely rewarding.

“I feel so strongly where this work is going,” says Molnar. “I feel really committed and very inspired to be working with the individuals that I’m working with. The dancers are a beautiful group and I just go into that studio and I see how hungry they are to learn and how much they want to develop as artists and I see what that brings to our audience and that motivates me to continue to do what I’m doing.”

Songs of a Wayfarer is set to music by Gustav Mahler, a piece of romantic music, sung by a mezzo-soprano, she says.

The second piece, Face to Face, is choreographed

by Kevin O’Day, artistic

director of Ballet Mannheim.

According to Molnar, it’s a great example of Ballet B.C.’s interest in, “finding new ways to be resourceful and new models of exchange between Canadian and international companies.”

It’s set to music by John King, an experimental New York-based composer.

“He created a score of music that also has a score of live electric guitar inside of it. . . .,” says Molnar. “It’s a really neat and very dense work. The movement itself and the choreography inside of the work is also very woven, there’s a restlessness and a searching. It’s very earthbound. It’s just a beautiful piece.”

The final piece on the program, The Bliss That From Their Limbs All Movement Takes, is a new work by resident choreographer José Navas, the Montreal-based

founder of Compagnie Flak.

His piece, set to a score by Philip Glass and Ravi Shankar, features the whole company, comprised of 15 dancers, including West Vancouver resident Alyson Fretz, 21, who’s in her third season with Ballet B.C. “José’s piece is a contemporary piece en pointe,” says Fretz. “It’s really fast, it’s really athletic. It’s very patterned. There’s a big group of us on stage for a lot of it, making different patterns and shapes with our bodies.

His piece is really about the shape of our bodies in the space. When you see it with costumes, it’s really nice to watch.”

At first the dancers wear leotards, putting the focus on their bodies, then they don coloured tunics.

“It takes the audience through a little bit of a whirl,” says Fretz. “It’s a really fascinating piece. It was really a pleasure to work with (José) because he’s such a spirited person and so full of life.”

Other upcoming season performances for Ballet B.C. include its presentation of The Nutcracker by Alberta Ballet, featuring more than 70 local children and the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Dec. 29-Jan. 1, 2011; Volo, Feb. 17-19; the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, March 18-19; and a 25th Anniversary Celebration in collaboration with the Turning Point Ensemble April 14-16.

All performances will be held at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre.

The degree of positive feedback and support thus far has been incredible, providing a source of hope and inspiration for all involved with Ballet B.C., says Molnar.

“We are in a turnaround situation and there’s no real answer how you turn around a company, but every day we’re just checking in as a company, with each other,” she says. “We’re trying to be as collaborative and as resourceful as we can and there’s a lot of really dutiful positive energy that’s amongst us and to me that’s a huge success already.”

specific political agenda.

“The commentary I’m trying to make is that there are a lot of things in today’s economy that bring people together, there is a lot of potential. But at the same time there’s also a lot of exploitation and brutality,” she said.

“We’re getting into quite utopian terrain here but ultimately I hope for situation where money and profit aren’t so much of a deciding factor in human relations. Of course it’s a huge discussion to start talking about those changes and how would that happen. And of course other systems were very destructive as well.

So for me, a lot of what I thinking is hoping and trying to nail down what I do think of the present situation.”

Gilligan isn’t your traditional filmmaker,

approaching projects more from a conceptual artistic perspective than many others. She is involved in producing the music for her films and has also authored several non-fiction articles on economic issues.

“I research a topic and think a lot about various ideas. I was looking at the financial crisis for a long period of time and then I boiled it down and crystallize it into various issues and a story. There are cycles of boom and bust but at the same time I don’t believe it’s entirely cyclical. I think there is an overall shift that’s happening in the economy and because of that there are new things about the present crisis.”

Gilligan will speak at UBC’s Buchanan Building, Room A203, Tuesday, Nov. 23 at 5:30 p.m. Call 604-822-2757 for details or visit www.presentationhousegall.com/ upcoming.html.

BISHOP - James Timothy (Tim) May 30, 1923 to Nov. 1, 2010 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tim (or James as he came to be known in his later years), and after his final battle with the complications of diabetes. He is predeceased by his wife Marjorie (2003). Survived by his son Tim, son John (Gail) and his daughter Julia (Richard).

Also grandchildren, James, Scott, Kailey and Joshua. Born in Fulham, England, he was apprenticed to the Rover Car Company in his late teens where he later returned to work after being drafted and serving as a mechanic in the Royal Navy during WW11. After marrying Marj in 1951, they decided to emigrate to Canada in 1957 where they raised their 3 children in North Vancouver and entertained their many friends over the years. Tim was a 50+ year member of the West Vancouver Legion and also a member of the Burma Start Association. A special thanks to all the nurses and caregivers who have helped Dad over the past few years to make everything as comfortable as possible. No flowers or service by request.

HUGHES

Sheila May (Jensen)

July 16, 1934 - October 24, 2010

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Sheila May Hughes in the loving presence of her family on October 24, 2010 after a long and graceful battle with cancer. Sheila is survived by her devoted husband, William Hughes, with whom she shared 56 wonderful years of marriage. She will be lovingly remembered by her son, Bill Hughes, daughters, Susan Hart and Sandra Hughes, and their spouses; Lavonne Nordli, Trevor Hart and Clifford Rich.

Grandma Sheila will be dearly missed by Tamara Imlach, Steven and David Hart, and Graham, Ethan and Lauren Rich, who will always remember her delicious cookies, silly characters and loving hugs. Her beloved younger brother Bruce Jensen also mourns her loss as do so many dear friends. Sheila was an extraordinary woman. Her quick wit and loving kindness were appreciated by all who knew her. Despite ill health that robbed her of so much strength, she still found energy to sit and chat with old friends, to make wonderful meals and baking for her loved ones and to tend her magnificent garden. Apart from her family, nothing gave Sheila more pleasure than to nurture young plants from tiny seedlings to magnificent blooms and she felt very blessed to be able to remain in her beloved home until shortly before she died. Sheila was the heart of our family. She loved us and nurtured us, supported and shaped us. She delighted in our every accomplishment and worried about our every challenge, no matter how big or how small. We have lost an essential part of our family, but our deep sadness is alleviated by a lifetime of happy memories and the comfort that we take in each other. Our family’s heartfelt gratitude goes to the many doctors, nurses and health professionals who so gently cared for Sheila throughout her long illness. Particular thanks to Dr. Paul Klimo, Dr. Paul Taylor and the nursing staff in the cancer clinic at Lions Gate Hospital with whom Sheila had a special bond and to the staff in Palliative Care at St. Paul’s Hospital who provided such kind support to Sheila and our family in her final days.

Special thanks also to Dr. Ray Penner who provided many years of friendship and care. A celebration of Sheila’s life will be held on Saturday, November 27, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. at First Memorial, Boal Chapel, 1505 Lillooet Rd., North Vancouver, B.C. Remember her in a garden where beauty flourishes under loving care.

KENNEDY - Donald Joseph passed away peacefully on November 8th, 2010, surrounded by his loving family. Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on August 3, 1927, he is predeceased by his loving wife of 52 years, Noreen, and infant son Edward. Survived by their six sons; John, Jim (Grace), Don (Susan), Rod (Paige), Michael (Janet), David, and ten grandchildren. Also survived by his brother Bill (Toronto), sister Mary (Stratford), brothers-in-law Gordon Gillespie (Winnipeg), Leo Leydon (Weyburn), and sister-in-law Dulcie Hampshire (Montreal).

Don mercifully brought his family to Vancouver from Winnipeg in 1966! After retiring from the printing industry in 1990, he was able to enjoy many a day at the Seymour Golf Club, where he was a member since 1967. Don will always be remembered for his sense of humour, fatherly guidance, welcoming nature, gentleness and patience. These traits were exemplified in his loving care of his wife during her final years. Second to being with the family, he loved golfing and spending time playing cards with friends. The family would like to thank the volunteers and staff at Lions Gate Hospital and the North Shore Hospice for providing gentle and warm care for him and his family during his final days. In lieu of flowers, his family would appreciate donations to the North Shore Hospice, or another charity of your choosing. Mass will be held Saturday, November 20th at 11:00am, St. Pius X Church, 1150 Mount Seymour Road, North Vancouver. Reception will follow at Seymour Golf Club.

FRAMPTON - Jonathan Edward Taylor Dec 7, 1983 – Nov 4, 2010 It is with great sadness that we, the family of Jon Frampton, announce his passing after a short but courageous battle with cancer. His love of life and sense of humour will be missed by his father Gordon, mother Alice, brothers Russ (Jolene) and Mike (Janice and Brody), aunts, uncles, and many cousins. He is also survived by his grandmothers Patricia Emel and Lolly Frampton. His soul mate and wife-to-be Tracie Begbie will cherish the memories of her loving companion. Those who knew him on and off the field or diamond will miss his wit and sportsmanship. The many other friends and coworkers whose lives were touched by this wonderful, loyal, and energetic young man are too many to name here. In lieu of flowers, please help the fight for a cure by making a donation in Jon’s name to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Our loss is heaven’s gain, Jon, as you go on to play for a higher team.

LUND - Tor Born December 9, 1920 in Oslo, Norway. Passed away November 10, 2010 in North Vancouver. It was in Norway as a young boy that Tor cultivated a love for the outdoors, spending weekends and summers fishing with his father. He emigrated to Vancouver in 1953 along with his beautiful wife and worked as a plumbing contractor on the North Shore for over 45 years. Tor was a man of great integrity, intelligence, and wit. He is remembered for his strong work ethic, great sense of humour, generosity, and love of the outdoors, and was happiest spending time with his friends fishing for trout in BC’s lakes. Tor is survived and will be sadly missed by his wife, Yanka, of 60 years, and daughters Margaret, Nina, and Christina and their families. We gratefully acknowledge the outstanding care and attention he received from the nurses and staff on 7 East at LGH and especially that of Dr. Wayne Smith over the years.

Tor was well-loved and cared for.

A celebration of his life will be held at the Boal Chapel at 1505 Lillooet Road, North Vancouver on Saturday, November 20th, 2010 at 2:30pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Tor’s memory to the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation.

Columnist DAVID CHAO reviews the 2011 Hyundai Tucson next week in REV

In addition to more power, more features and new performance enhancements, the redesigned 5 Series also offers better fuel economy.

While the 5 Series is a sedan in which a driver can chauffeur up to four passengers in opulent surroundings, its engineering emphasis is squarely on driver involvement and driving dynamics. It’s also generally the first mid-sized premium sports sedan listed in market segment comparisons.

Even though the primary emphasis is on performance that the 5 Series certainly delivers, BMW has also taken a number of steps to reduce fuel consumption and vehicle emissions. For example, one of our test cars — the 550i — came with a smaller displacement V-8 engine that provided more power yet used less fuel than the previous generation 550i.

Interesting new energy-conserving technologies include a Brake Energy Regeneration system. Braking energy is

gears that significantly help reduce highway fuel consumption. A side benefit of the extra gears is that they also provide softer shifts, a wider selection of gear ratios and reduced engine noise.

Top Quality Repair & Service Since 1975

A biweekly roundup of automotive news, good, bad and just plain weird: F1 loss makes Branson a stewardess Now, I know the correct nomenclature for the good folks who keep showing us how to use the seatbelts on planes has moved on to “flight attendant,” but for this particular story, I’m turning the dial back to “sexy stewardess.” Reason being, golden-tressed billionaire Richard Branson has to dress up like one.

See, if you’re like me, you might wager a pint on the Canucks thumping your buddy’s beloved Toronto Make-Me-Laughs. Then, because Toronto sucks, you win the bet, and enjoy the refreshing taste of victory and IPA. However, in the world of the multi-billionaire, the bets get a little weirder. For instance, you might make a bet that the Formula One racing team that you own is going to do better in the standings than the Formula One racing team that your friend owns. And rather than the price of a beer, you might set the conditions of losing to be, say, having to dress in drag and serve as a stewardess aboard an airplane on the airline of the winner.

Of course, this only works if both of you own an airline See Electric page 52

precious and much loved characteristic of every BMW and while the new electromechanical power steering system may send the purists into a state of shock, I assure them this is not something to fear.

The energy saving advantage is that it’s only active when you need it, during steering manoeuvres. When stopped or driving on a straight road or if the steering wheel is at a steady angle when cornering, the electric motor is inactive and uses no power — simple and very effective.

For now, the 2011 model year 5 Series line only comes in 528i ($53,900), 535i ($62,300) and 550i ($73,300) in Canada.

Both the 528i and 535i have an inline 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine. However, the 535i engine comes with a twin-scroll turbocharger, direct injection, and “Valvetronic” throttle-less intake technology, which ups its output to 300 horsepower versus 240 h.p. in the 528i.

A six-speed manual transmission is available with the 535i and 550i. While manual transmissions are still loved by driving

vehicle and lower its overall weight. Components such as doors, hood, front fenders and suspension assemblies are all made of aluminum.

On the front, an upright classic BMW kidney grille appears to lean slightly forward. Our test car came with active Xenon headlights and the daytime running lights incorporate what BMW calls its LED “corona” rings. The turn signals are made up of ten LED light units.

The inside It’s a warm and inviting interior with a cockpit style dash that’s inclined toward the driver, as is the centre console. Both front seats come with 10-way power adjustments including head-restraint height. The steering wheel also has power tilt and telescopic adjustment and tilt-away for exit and entry feature.

enthusiasts, they are rare in this class of car. The modern automatic has become much more user friendly and efficient.

The top-line 550i delivers true high performance with BMW’s “reverse-flow” V-8 engine that features twin turbochargers and direct injection — it has a maximum output of 400 h.p. It was first used in the 2010 Grand Turismo edition.

Personally, I like the 535i in terms of value — it still provides great performance at much more reasonable price.

The looks The overall shape hasn’t changed dramatically but there are more lines and curves to the new body that add interest to its styling. These include a strong side character line that cleverly blends in with the door handles.

It’s a nicely balanced silhouette that’s in sync with the nearperfect front-to-rear weight distribution of the 5 Series in all engine versions. Lightweight materials are used to balance the

with the widescreen (1280 x 480-pixel) version of the navigation system. Easy to view in daylight, it has what BMW calls a trans-reflective display; light from the sun actually enhances the images on the screen.

There’s an extra 13 millimetres of knee room for the rear passengers. A folding 60/40 split rear seatback folds down to enlarge a 520-litre capacity trunk.

The optional Rear DVD Entertainment System comes with two 23 cm individual monitors and two wireless infrared headphones and is operated via a separate iDrive controller. This also gives the rear passengers access to the navigation system and all the iDrive functions — but there is an override up front (if this privilege is abused).

Safety Use of more high-strength and ultrahigh-strength steel gives the safety passenger cell of the new BMW 5 Series an increase in body strength and stiffness by 55 per cent over the former model.

Active Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go is a new option.

It can adjust vehicle speed according to traffic conditions via radar sensors at the front of the vehicle. The Stop-andGo function can also bring the vehicle to a complete stop if traffic calls for it.

A subsystem called Collision Warning triggers an alarm in two stages and can also apply the brakes. It warns the driver of the closing rate to the vehicle in front and also initiates the braking process required to slow the car down.

Some of the other active safety features include Blind Spot Detection and a Lane Departure Warning system.

The drive Near-perfect weight balance, a rock-solid body, nicely weighted and precise steering and 400 h.p. at your disposal, the 550i is an exhilarating and truly awesome sports sedan. But even the 535i provides plenty of get-up-and-go power and torque.

Depending on your mood or circumstance, you can choose how you want the 5 Series to behave. A Driving Dynamics Control system on some models allows the driver, via a rocker switch on the centre console, to choose Comfort, Normal, Sport and Sport+ settings that change the way the car rides, handles and how quickly the drivetrain reacts.

There’s also a choice of manual shifts via paddle shifters on the steering wheel or via the floor shift lever. By the way, it’s an intuitive (for me anyway) forward downshift and rear upshift action just like Mazda, but contrary to almost every other major automaker.

Mind you, the auto mode selection of the eight-speed Steptronic is so good you’ll probably never use manual selection. The shifts are seamless in comfort mode and it has the ability to skip gears while upshifting or downshifting to get maximum power, engine braking or fuel economy when necessary.

The faster and more expensive 550i can zip from 0-100 kilometres per hour in 5.3 seconds and has an electronically governed top speed of 210 km/h. It can also go around corners in an amazingly flat manner, due See High-tech page 51

Electric Lincoln a sad song for Neil Young From page 48

and a Formula One racing team, but hey, you’re billionaires! Of course you do!

Any road, the lucky winner was Lotus F1’s boss Tony Fernandes, and now Virgin-pretty-much-everything owner Richard Branson has to don a specially prepared AirAsia stewardess uniform and hand out the peanuts and moist towelettes. Seats are being auctioned off right now, and I have to say, this marks the first time I’ve been glad I’m not a billionaire.

Neil Young’s electric Lincoln burns Generally speaking, I find the music of Neil Young to be akin to the caterwauling of a hundred oestrus felines, but I have a huge amount of respect for the man. He’s enormously successful. He’s proudly Canadian. And he owns possibly the coolest electric vehicle of all time.

While it may be green to cruise around in an electricconverted Scion xB, or ply the city streets in one of those plugin fibreglass pods that seem better suited for Pebble Beach or the inside of an airport, no one will think you’re cool. On the other hand, if you’re rocking nineteen-and-a-half feet of white 1959 Lincoln Convertible set up to run on batteries, then you’re so cool, why, you’re practically Neil Young.

Actually, you are Neil Young, seeing as Neil owns the only so-dubbed “LincVolt” in existence. Unfortunately, it may no longer be in existence.

In a tragedy of huge proportions (I did mention the car was 20 feet long), the LincVolt caught fire last week in the California warehouse where it was stored following a hugely popular showing at the SEMA show in Las Vegas. No word as to whether the battery-powered behemoth can be saved, or if the fire was caused by an electrical short in the belly of the beast, but here’s hoping the great white LincVolt sees the light of day once more.

Murano CrossCabriolet debuts If you’ve ever seen Jim Carrey performing in his prelook-I-can-do-serious-stuff-too stand-up comedy days, you’ll remember his bit about the little voice in all our heads that keeps us on the right path. “Ah Ah Ah! Turning the car into on-coming traffic is counter-productive!”

The rubber-faced comedian then continues riffing on the same theme, wondering what life would be like if we didn’t

NEIL Young’s one-of-a-kind 1959 Lincoln Convertible, dubbed the LincVolt, runs on batteries. Unfortunately, it caught fire after a recent car show and may have been irreparably damaged. have that common sense circuit breaker. Well, wonder no longer. Life would be like the design department at Nissan.

There was a smattering of this lack of restraint in Nissan’s already released froglet, the Juke. While a hoot to drive, and not-unattractive per se, the Juke’s weird styling is like nothing ever attempted by another manufacturer. The hatchingamphibian front-end is particularly hard to decipher, and more than a few auto-journos have hurt their brains trying to come up with a simile for the sport-cross’s face. Personally, I vacillate between mantis-with-antenna-blown-backwards and Jar-JarBinks-with-lip-studs.

However, now we have proof that nobody’s keeping tabs on the creative types at Nissan. At some point during their morning meeting, some guy in a beret said something like, “Hey, let’s cut the roof off a Murano!” And nobody stopped him.

Pictures have just hit the web, and while they’re partially shaded, the transformation of the Murano from mid-sized crossover to convertible coupe is not that bad. It kind of looks like a 370Z ate an entire box of Ferrero-Rocher, but there’s certainly some appeal. The question is: who is waiting around

to buy a premium four-by-four convertible Nissan?

Google good deed of the week We all know Google is useful, and we all also accept that one day the huge company will rule our lives completely, possibly after the dust settles in the great Facebook wars in which millions will die and the sky will be permanently darkened á la The Matrix.

Still, just before that happens, some good has finally come out of their Streetview program that’s generated so much bad press for stealing our passwords, and secretly driving around in autonomous cars. When a caravan-camper was stolen in Derbyshire, U.K., police had no leads. So, the caravan’s owner decided to take a peek on Google Streetview, and lo-andbehold, the cameras had captured the thief hooking up his SUV to tow it away.

As yet, there’s no official comment from Google, but perhaps they’re just busy working on their underground hollowed-out volcano lair.

Survey says we’re not ready for winter weather CREDIT cards and kitty litter are part of the winter driving plan for many British Columbians, according to a recent survey conducted by Canadian Tire.

Snow is already in the fiveday forecast on the North Shore and with a La Niña winter expected to bring conditions that are colder and snowier than normal, weather is the topic of much conversation among British Columbians.

While 48 per cent of British Columbian survey respondents felt they were fully prepared for winter driving, other numbers indicate that many drivers are not fully equipped to handle winter conditions.

Here are some of the results that signal that B.C. drivers might be underprepared: ■ As of early November only 26 per cent had installed winter tires with 46 per cent of B.C. respondents saying they are not planning on installing winter tires at all.

■ 43 per cent have used a credit card to scrape ice off of the car

■ 45 per cent have relied on wipers, washer fluid and defrost to clear windows instead of a snow brush or ice scraper ■ 24 per cent have used kitty litter to gain traction on ice ■ 59 per cent have driven away with snow on the roof of the car ■ 42 per cent don’t have jumper cables in the car ■ 65 per cent don’t have a roadside safety kit ■ 51 per cent of BC drivers wait until wiper blades leave streaks before replacing them

■ 24 per cent say that winter tires are only needed for rural areas that get lots of snow and they aren’t really needed if you live in the city ■ 23 per cent admit the first snowfall or freezing rain catches them off guard ■ 22 per cent of B.C. drivers admit they’ve been caught in winter weather conditions without winter tires The results were part of a national survey conducted by Angus Reid Public Opinion.

Credit cards and kitty litter used as quick fixes

From page Other regional 53 quirks uncovered include: ■ Canadians believe a roadside safety kit (42 per cent) and jumper cables (55 per cent) are important trunk essentials during the winter months ■ Canadian drivers most want to receive a GPS system (16 per cent) this year as a gift, followed by winter tires (13 per cent) ■ More than half of the survey respondents (52 per cent) forego a full clearing, driving with snow on the roof of their vehicle, which can impact visibility for all drivers ■ Despite already having snowfalls this year, 58 per cent of Alberta drivers are not planning to install winter tires and only 15 per cent of Alberta drivers had installed their winter tires at the time of the survey

■ 49 per cent of drivers in Saskatchewan and Manitoba are not planning to install winter tires; 18 per cent said they feel winter tires are not a necessity ■ 43 per cent of Ontario drivers are not planning to install winter tires “Our lives don’t stop when winter weather hits,” said Andrew Davies, vice-president, automotive for Canadian Tire in the release.

“Being properly ready for winter driving with things like winter tires, a collapsible shovel, roadside safety kit, winter windshield washer fluid and snow brushes instead of depending on kitty litter and a credit card will make your winter travels easier and safer.”
