Trustees vote for $50M rebuild School board favours spending more for brand new Argyle ANNE WATSON awatson@nsnews.com

ARGYLE secondary could be getting a complete rebuild if the Ministry of Education gives the project the green light.

The North Vancouver

Board of Education voted on Tuesday night in favour of a complete rebuild of the school over seismic upgrades.The estimated cost of a full rebuild, originally estimated at $46 million, has jumped to almost $50 million, while a seismic upgrade only would be $35

million. The school board will now be on the hook for the $15 million difference in cost and has applied to the province to borrow that money, along with approval for the full rebuild.

The costs could increase even more if the project is approved.

Georgia Allison, secretary treasurer for the North Vancouver school district, said the current numbers are preliminary and the project

needs to go through various steps to narrow down the full replacement cost.

“The Ministry of Education has clearly stated that any differential between a seismic project and capital replacement project must be funded by the school district,” said Allison.

“The ministry has further indicated that the school district will need to present a plan that identifies how this funding will be generated,

have a valid measure of the funds to be generated and an achievable plan.”

In May 2012 the Ministry of Education made the decision to support seismic upgrades of Argyle secondary and there has been debate since as to whether to upgrade the aging structure or completely rebuild it. According to a report presented to the board Monday night, even if the province paid for a

seismic upgrade, the school district could still be left spending approximately $18 million over the next 20 years to upgrade other parts of the school.

The board is hoping to repay the $15 million loan through future land sales and leases, or other land dispositions. If approved by the province, the loan would have to be repaid by no later See Land page 5

It costs a lot to live here, Stats Can reports ANNE WATSON awatson@nsnews.com

It’s official — it costs a lot to put a roof over your head on the North Shore.

Perhaps not surprisingly, West Vancouver homeowners spend more money than their North Shore neighbours on rent or mortgage costs each month, according to a recent Statistics Canada report on shelter costs.

But nowhere on the North Shore was particularly cheap to live.

Residents in all three municipalities shelled out more for each month than the province-wide average of $1,156 for shelter costs.

Shelter costs can include mortgage payments, electrical, heat or water bills, and property taxes to name a few.West Vancouver had See North page 3

Flood risk lowered in creeks

District crews haul three dozen truckloads of gravel from Mosquito, Lynn creeks JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

The District of North Vancouver has pulled more than three dozen truckloads of gravel from Mosquito and Lynn creeks this month to lower flooding risks.

As erosion deposits vast quantities of gravel on the creek floor, the borders of the creek

are tested, according to district public safety section manager Michelle Weston.

“Each river has a certain storage capacity, so as the river gets filled up with gravel the area that can support water shrinks,” she said. “When it gets to a certain level it’ll overflow.”

The district wrapped up the $110,000 project

Sept. 18, after taking approximately 2,650 cubic metres of gravel, or 43 truckloads, out of the creeks.

The work is critical given that many district residents live on flood planes, said Weston.

One of the challenges of the work is making sure to minimize the effect on the fish population.

Before any gravel is removed an environmental monitor surveys the area, according to Weston.

“They’ll either create a storage channel and corral them there or they’ll actually capture (the fish) and move them

to a different location,” she said.

As quickly as the gravel is removed it’s transferred, according to Weston.

District workers have already trucked 14 loads to the lower reaches of Mosquito Creek in order to create a habitat conducive to fish there.

Debris in the higher elevations of the Mosquito Creek corridor had interrupted the natural downstream movement of sand and gravel, according to district environmental protection officer Richard Boase.

“As a result the lower reaches of Mosquito

Creek tend to be deficient in the sands and gravels that are important for growing benthics (bugs) that feed the other organisms in the stream,” he stated in an email.

“To help alleviate this the (district) will deposit sand and gravel, excavated from the basin during maintenance, lower down the stream.”

The gravel that doesn’t go to fish habitats is being stored and will be used for utility and park projects, said Weston.

“We were able to take all the gravel and re-use it instead of having to buy gravel.”

Rioter handed house arrest BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

A NorthVancouver man will have plenty of time to catch Canucks games at home after being sentenced for his role in the 2011 Stanley Cup hockey riot.

Mark Blyth, 23, was sentenced last week in Vancouver provincial court to two months of house arrest in his parents’ home and two months under a court-ordered curfew of 10 p.m. after pleading guilty to participating in a riot. Blyth will also have to complete 80 hours of community service and serve eight months probation.

Blyth was at ground zero in downtown Vancouver as the riot started following the Canuck’s Game 7 loss to the Boston Bruins on June 15, 2011. “He was involved in the flipping of a (Nissan) Versa at the Live Site.This was the first vehicle that was destroyed in the riot,” said Crown spokeswoman Samantha Hulme.

After the vehicle was overturned, Blyth stood on it, kicked it, and threw a lawn chair and car bumper at it before watching other rioters torch a nearby car.

He then took the SeaBus home. “He did not turn himself in. He was identified by tipsters and arrested by police,” Hulme added.

He has no prior criminal record and does hold a steady job, Hulme noted.

Blyth has also been named in a civil suit connected to the riot.

North Shore housing costs higher than average From page 1 the highest shelter costs at an average of $1,787 monthly.

Homeowners paid more than renters — forking over an average $1,849 per month.The District of North Vancouver followed close behind at $1,563 for average shelter costs. Again, homeowners paid more than renters at $1,631 per month.

And those living in the City of North Vancouver paid an average monthly shelter cost of $1,288, with owners shelling out about $1,424 per month.

The figures come from a

report of the 2011 National Household Survey by Statistics Canada, released earlier this month, which drew information from approximately 4.5 million households across Canada.

Nationwide about 3.3 million households, or a quarter of all households, spent 30 per cent or more of their household total income on shelter costs.

The percentage of residents paying a large chunk of their income toward shelter was much higher on the North Shore, however.

Residents in the City

of North Vancouver spent the most out of their total monthly household income — almost 35 per cent — on shelter, with renters paying almost double what owners paid.West Vancouver households spent slightly less — an average of 32 per cent of their income went to housing costs. Renters paid much more — almost 55 per cent of their income went to housing. Households in the District of North Vancouver spent more than 28 per cent of their income on housing.

Renters in all three municipalities spent a greater percentage of their income

than homeowners on housing costs each month.

Across the country, the survey found Canadian households that paid 30 per cent or more of their total income toward shelter costs had an average cost of more than $1,200, exceeding 30 per cent of their total household income by an average of more than $500 per month.

In terms of renting versus owning, home ownership was highest in the District of North Vancouver, with more than 81 per cent of its 30, 555 households living in homes they own.

The lowest rate of home ownership was in the City of North Vancouver, where about 54 per cent of its 22, 790 households owned their homes.West Vancouver, with 17, 075 households, had a home ownership rate of around 79 per cent.

Province-wide, about 70 per cent of residents owned their homes.

Across the province, more than seven per cent of households reported having dwellings that required major repairs, including anything from defective plumbing to structural repairs. On the North Shore,

almost eight per cent of households in the City of North Vancouver reported living in homes that needed major repairs. Seven per cent of households in West Vancouver, and six per cent of households in the District of North Vancouver reported similar problems.

The City of North Vancouver had around 10 per cent of households living in dwellings that were unsuitable, or overcrowded, according to the National Occupancy Standard, surpassing the provincial average of almost seven per cent.

Mulcair speaks to First Nations

ANNE WATSON awatson@nsnews.com

Thomas Mulcair, federal leader of the official Opposition, stopped by the First Nations Summit in North VancouverWednesday to hear concerns voiced by several First Nations representatives.

The summit, the sixth one this year, is a gathering of First Nations and tribal councils from across the province to address

issues related to treaty negotiations and other concerns, including the federal government’s push on energy and resource development.

“We have an obligation to take care of the land, to take care of the water, to take care of the air, but we have to take care of it long term,” said Mulcair, addressing those gathered at the Chief Joe Mathias Centre on Squamish land in North Vancouver.

When asked after the

meeting about balancing the economy with First Nations concerns over the various pipeline proposals across the province, Mulcair said that it’s an old argument that does not work. “There are very few people in Canada other than Stephen Harper and his cabinet that oppose the economy and the environment anymore,” said Mulcair.

Other political leaders scheduled to speak at the summit this week included John Rustad, provincial

“The ministry has indicated that they want to see what our plan for repayment would be,” said Allison.

“There is a real push by the ministry to recapture any debt from operating funds from school districts already and they are doing that on a very short timeline.This is capital, they do recognize it takes longer to generate the capital for it, but they won’t be looking for a long-term loan. I would expect that 10 years is probably as long as

they’ll go.”

Though the board is currently asking for up to $15 million, some trustees questioned whether the district should ask for $20 million instead.

Lisa Bayne, board trustee, said that although $20 million is a large sum, the board would not necessarily have to spend it.

“I would rather see a higher number and have the flexibility rather than have to go back to the ministry or scramble to try and figure out where we’re going to come up with another $3 (million) or $4 million or

$200,000 or whatever it is that we’re over,” said Bayne.

But John Lewis, North Vancouver superintendent of schools, said estimated costs already take into account possible increases.

“I think we’re comfortable with the $15 million figure as the maximum,” he said.

Board chairwoman Franci Stratton said the board would be using the ministry’s funding first before considering borrowing any more money.

“That could be a few years down the road before we have to borrow,” she said.

VIEWPOINT PUBLISHED BY NORTH SHORE NEWS A DIVISION OF LMP PUBLICATION LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, 100-126 EAST 15TH STREET, NORTH VANCOUVER, B.C. V7L 2P9. DOUG FOOT, PUBLISHER. CANADIAN PUBLICATIONS MAIL SALES PRODUCT AGREEMENT NO. 40010186.

Off to the races C an anyone recall a time when we were not in the midst of political party leadership race?

With soon-to-be former NDP leader Adrian Dix announcing the worst kept secret in B.C. at the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference last week, we are heading into the fifth race (counting both federal and provincial political arenas) in which British Columbians have a stake in four years.

Seventh, if you count the impeding leadership contests of the B.C. Conservatives and Greens, though no one really does.

Every time, we get the same commentary about the identity crisis the party must have in order to begin anew. Should they focus on their core principles? Or should they branch out to bring more people into the tent?

In the NDP’s case, it didn’t seem to

matter. Dix came in as a leader criticized for being too much of an old-guard, partisan ideologue and went down as a leader who wouldn’t fight hard enough win the election.

No matter who emerges as the new leader, a few things won’t change.

As long as the Liberals have success scaring the electorate about the economic doom the socialist hordes would surely bring about, that will be the stick they’ll use to whack the NDP. And as long as the NDP relies on segments of the population that typically stay home on election day as their base, they’re never going to get over that 42 per cent hump.

Though it may sound like it, we are not cynics.

Nothing puts attention on important issues like a race and we eagerly welcome the discourse that’s coming.

Arts edifice is monumental mistake It may seem whimsical to urge saving a parking lot and to politely advise an arts centre lobby to look for a site elsewhere. Or get lost.

If it’s whimsy, it’s serious whimsy.

This is a special parking lot on invaluable land. The aggressive arts council is proposing the arts centre, expanded to include architectural and design aspects, for the entire 1600-block Bellevue, on the leafy, airy parking lot needed by moms, dads and children using the John Lawson Park picnic and play area — just as the playground is being rightly expanded and Ambleside is already screaming with vehicle crawl and parking torture.

The proposal is for the arts edifice — including a gift shop and wine bar, now

Trevor Lautens

This Just In

that’s really needed if, as I suspect, the centre is more dedicated to chatting about art than creating it — to sit on a two-level parkade.

People hate parkades.

This one obviously would need to be built above the water table, high waves having flooded nearby land just months ago. It would block physical access to the beach and water views to the eye.

CONTACTUS

The childless and picnic-intolerant should sit up and take notice that the estimated cost for the 26,000-square-foot centre is $28 million, paid for with “donations.” As if West Vancouverites would throw in a fraction of that. A fair guess is that anyone tossing in $1 million would get his or her name immortalized over the entrance.

Nope, grants will be sought from deeply indebted federal and provincial governments.

But operating costs — high, especially to meet stringent Class A art gallery standards, which include careful temperature control — would be borne by West Vancouver taxpayers.You okay with that?

Business-savvy councilwatcher Garrett Polman notes that council approved

an arts facility for the site, contingent on funding and a business plan, in May 2012. His recollection is that the proposal included 20-odd offices — shades of the mysterious second floor in our swanky community centre — and that “only about a quarter of the square footage would be available for public display space.

“I checked some of the large New York museums such as the MoMA and the Met,” Polman writes, “and they (thankfully) devote over 50 per cent of their space to display art. Being an avid museum-goer — to well over 500 museums worldwide — it made me wonder for whom this facility is to be built.”

As for funding, Polman says: “The arts community has been pushing for this facility since the early

1960s but as of 2012 had not collected as much as a dime.”

Allow me to be uncharacteristically unkind. (You may laugh if you wish.) This is Monumentism in full flower. Its backers predictably include a small knot of art aficionados and artists — some not deigning to display their upmarket wares in the existing four modest art venues on Argyle — hot boosters of Ambleside revitalization, better achieved by lower business taxes and cutting town hall fat, and the cementpourers, happy to build anything anywhere.

Let’s talk taste. The earlier assault was on the Ferry Building site at 13th and Argyle. The lobby first proposed to move the Ferry and build

on the site. Then they pitched a separate gallery, near enough to shatter the balance and grace of the total site — and also a beach view-blocker. Come on! Did none of these artsy people see that the Ferry needs “empty” space — alone-ness, in a sea of grass on gently rolling land, to set it off? These people are esthetically cool? The 1912 Ferry Building isn’t the Parthenon, but, dammit, it’s our own and part of our history.

The public embraced the proposals like the bubonic plague. They “did not support the foot of 14th Street as a location chosen for the arts centre,” the bureaucrats noted with understatement, and the West Vancouver Historical Society also “objected to See Taxpayers page 9

NDP faces identity crisis Now that Adrian Dix has finally decided he’s not going to lead the NDP into the next election, the party can get on with healing its internal divisions and trying to figure out just what kind of entity it really is.

For example, is the NDP a political party or a social movement? A group of party members calling themselves “Forward B.C. NDP” has emerged and argues for the former.

They want to modernize the party’s so-called “boutique politics”: polling, research, building data bases, and fundraising.

The group also wants to re-energize the party with new blood, and a new team calling the shots from the executive on down.

But standing in their way, at least potentially, is what I call the Romantic Left.

These are the types who want to go back to the party’s socialist roots and who view any emphasis on such things as sophisticated polling and honing party policies to gain public support through a very dark and suspicious lens.

So that’s one internal

Keith Baldrey

View from the Ledge

challenge the party faces.

The other big challenge is for the NDP to establish credibility when it comes to economic issues, which more often than not are the ballot box question for most voters.

But the party has pushed itself away from being the one that looks out for the interests of blue collar workers, and has instead aligned itself with the environmental wing that opposes so many of the projects that create those blue collar jobs.

The importance of this shift cannot be underestimated. It has allowed the B.C. Liberals under Premier Christy Clark a free ride into cloaking itself as the “jobs

party” that encompasses so much fertile political territory.

The recent provincial election, in many ways, turned on this very issue.

Dix’s sudden and arbitrary announcement that the NDP opposed the Kinder Morgan pipeline project is a perfect example of the NDP abandoning the blue collar worker in favour of the urban, white collar worker who doesn’t see (or care) about the connection between the natural resource sector and paycheques in this province.

In his desperate bid to ensure victory in a couple of ridings on the west side of Vancouver, he killed any hopes of winning a whole bunch of seats outside of the Lower Mainland. That one policy shift meant voters saw the NDP as an environmental party, not a jobs party.

But Kinder Morgan is just one project and there are plenty more out there for the NDP to stumble on: the Site C dam, the Delta coal port expansion, new mining ventures, fracking and the potential expansion of the LNG industry.

Of course, the B.C. Liberals face their own challenges on this file, but they are nowhere near as divisive for the party.

The government may well end up opposing Kinder Morgan itself, but it will be able to point to its support for natural resource jobs in other ways.

The fact that many of these jobs have yet to materialize and may not actually be created for years (if at all, unless we can actually find enough skilled people to fill them) is almost immaterial in political terms, at least in the short-term (although one potential disaster for Premier Christy Clark is if her all-in push for the LNG industry falls completely flat).

But as long as the B.C. Liberals champion that part of the economy and the NDP does not, it will be hard for New Democrats to portray themselves as an economyfirst party.

It will be interesting to see how much of these internal debates (political party versus social movement, and

Salmon celebrated BRENT RICHTER AND ANNE WATSON awatson@nsnews.com

Salmon are returning to the streams on the North Shore — some of them, like pinks, in record numbers this year.

Brothers Creek in West Vancouver is seeing the biggest return of pink salmon in recent memory, thanks to efforts to restock the stream four years ago.

West Vancouver Streamkeepers Society president John Barker has been surveying the creek and its tributaries looking for returns of 60,000 fry released in 2009 by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans,The Seymour Salmonid Society hatchery

and Streamkeepers.

“We’ve got it in spades.

We’ve got more pinks than we had back in 2009.

They’re going farther up the system, which is amazing — above the Upper Levels Highway, heading to the Capilano golf course.We think that’s good news. It’s just staggering,” he said.

To celebrate the return of the salmon, the Seymour River Fish Hatchery and Education Centre in North Vancouver is having an open house this weekend for the first time in a decade.

The event, hosted by the Seymour Salmonid Society, runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sept. 29 in the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve, and includes a

hatchery tour, barbecue and activities for kids.

Ed Walls, volunteer co-ordinator for the society said the hatchery used to run open houses much more frequently, but has been unable to with the construction surrounding the upgrades to the Seymour Falls Dam. “This will be the first one we’ve done for 10 years,” he said.

The hatchery started in 1977 and was taken over by the society in 1987. It raises thousands of steelheads, coho and chum salmon annually, and more than a million pink salmon every second year.

The society is looking for volunteers and those interested can find out more at the open house.

In May this year, Brent Leigh,West Vancouver’s deputy chief administrative officer, submitted a report to council updating the 2011-12 plans — incredibly, ridiculously, without one word about the 1600-block site’s present use. On May 28, on a motion by Coun.

Craig Cameron seconded

by Coun. Michael Lewis, council again approved the project in principle, with conditions.

One being: “A comprehensive process of public consultation on, among other things, the location, size and functional program of a new Arts Centre.”

economic growth versus environmental values) surface during the NDP’s upcoming leadership race.

I suspect there will be some heated discussions, and potential leadership candidates will try to navigate some tricky waters as they try to woo support.

But the leadership

race may not resolve these problems. That’s because, if the past rules for the leadership race apply, the outcome will be determined by bulk membership signups (particularly in ethnic communities) and not by a candidate’s policy or philosophy.

The departure of Dix as leader was inevitable

but that on its own doesn’t solve the riddles facing the party. It is still an entity searching for an identity, and its members are far from being unified on solving those challenges, let alone on who should lead them.

annual dance contest.

The tight pliés and loose morals at the centre of the tale were conceived by the North Vancouver mother/ daughter writing team of Taylor and Barbara Hill.

Despite acting in a number of high profile projects in her teens — including the horror film The Exorcism of Emily Rose — work for Taylor dried up during her early 20s.

“I was just finishing my university degree and I hadn’t worked for awhile in the acting world,” she says.

“I was having a bad day one day and then my mom told me I should just write. . . .We came up with the characters that day.”

While earning a degree in psychology and fine arts from Simon Fraser

University,Taylor ventured into her own past for screenwriting inspiration.

A veteran of hip hop, jazz, and ballet programs at the North Shore Academy of Dance, the Sentinel secondary grad recalled the dance school archetypes that seem to haunt every studio.

“There’s always the star dancer, there’s always the one who’s trying, there’s always the quirky one like me who loves to dance — “But isn’t very good,” Barbara finishes.

The troupe also features a token sexually-ambiguous guy.

“I’m the ‘male dancer,’” Matt says early in the film. “I don’t know why I put that in quotation marks.”

Sitting side by side in a North Vancouver coffee

shop, Barbara is content to let her daughter answer the questions; a far cry from the mothers in the movie who at times seem like the suburban equivalent of animals that eat their young.

Taylor is nearly unrecognizable in the movie as Molly, a geyser of misguided enthusiasm whose interpretive dance solo seems influenced by Curly from the Three Stooges.

When discussing writing the script, it’s apparent that Taylor and Molly are bonded by unfettered exuberance.

“It flowed so quickly.

Some days I could write 20 pages easily. I felt like I knew the characters and I knew exactly what the story was, so it came really fast. But I just locked myself with my computer and if I couldn’t

sleep I’d wake up in the middle of the night and write it all down,” she says.

On the rare occasions when she was stuck,Taylor says the roadblock was usually traversed through conversation.

“If that ever happened my mom and I would just talk it out.We’d talk about the characters just like they were friends,” she says.

Almost every role was written with one of Taylor’s friends or relatives in mind, all of whom said ‘yes,’ the actress reports.

But even with Gary Hawes on board, an established filmmaker who has worked as a unit director on X2, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and The Fantastic Four, See Everyone page 19

Some 3,000 years before reality TV dating show The Bachelorette, there was The Odyssey.

Homer’s epic poem follows Odysseus on his decade-long journey back to Ithaca after the Trojan War. Meanwhile, 108 rowdy male suitors have set up camp at his home and, assuming him dead, are vying for his wife Penelope’s hand in marriage.

This peripheral storyline of competitive courtship in the Greek myth served as inspiration for the 2010 play Penelope by Irish playwright Enda Walsh.

The show opens the 2013/14 season at The Cultch, also marking

its Canadian premiere.

Produced by Vancouverbased Rumble Theatre, Penelope straddles the line between classical and contemporary, comedy and drama.

“The play has a wonderful balance of beauty and brutality, it’s very funny and it’s very terrible at the same time,” explains Rumble Theatre’s artistic director Stephen Drover.

When the curtain opens, it is 11:30 a.m. and already a scorching 35 degrees. At the bottom of a drained out swimming pool on a Greek island stand four men sporting neon Speedos, open robes and flip-flops.They are the last remaining suitors still competing to win over the long-suffering Penelope, who continues to wait faithfully for her husband. On this day, the four men realize that Odysseus’ return is imminent.

Puns aplenty in Cloudy 2 ■ CloudyWith A Chance of Meatballs 2. Directed

by Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn. Featuring Bill Hader, Anna Faris, Neil Patrick Harris andWill Forte.

Rating: 6 (out of 10) JULIE CRAWFORD ContributingWriter

Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 2 may be the biggest setback for the parents of picky eaters since raw veggies were invented: “that cute food has feelings, mom!”

Blame the folks at Sony Animation Studios for their zealous personification of pickles, strawberries, leeks and the like.Your kid might play with his food well into high school.

In the first Cloudy, Flint Lockwood (Bill Hader) invented a machine that could turn weather systems into food, such as spaghetti tornadoes. He destroyed the behemoth invention and saved the island town of Swallow Falls, evacuating

because of all that food mess.

The sequel picks up immediately where the 2009 film left off. On the mainland, Flint takes a job with inventor Chester V (Will Forte), the kooky billionaire head of Live Corp. But Flint’s thirst for fame and recognition will have to wait: unbeknownst to Flint his invention survived and has now evolved, churning out food animals — “foodimals” — some of which graze peacefully, and some of which threaten life as we know it. (We should have known something was up after those cute little gummy bears attacked Flint and friends in the first film.)

The machine now pumps out food monsters that bite back, such as deadly tacodiles, apple piethons and mosquitoasts.

Flint takes his girl-crush — meteorologist Sam Sparks (Anna Faris) — back to the island to tackle the foodimals before they jump the channel and threaten the mainland. Also along

for the ride is Flint’s dad (James Caan). Recently liberated from his oldschool standoffishness,Tim Lockwood is driving his son crazy with hugs and fishing metaphors.

Also returning to save the day are Andy Samberg, Benjamin Bratt and Neil Patrick Harris.Terry Crewes replaces Mr.T as Officer Earl.

The monkey business from the first film is doubled in the sequel: Flint’s monosyllabic primate sidekick Steve is back, but he’s joined by Barb, a lipstick-wearing, evolved oranguatan (played by the deadpan Kristen Schaal). Instead of having eyes for Steve, Barb’s human brain can’t help yearning for Chester…

But parents needn’t worry: interbreeding, hybrid and evolutionary chatter is kept to a minimum, other than the obvious crazy side effects of genetically modified foods.

Cody Cameron was story artist for the first

Cloudy, Kris Pearn was head of story. Both have been promoted and sit in the directors’ chairs, and Cameron voices the film’s cutest character, Barry the Berry. Now that Flint has the acceptance of his father and a girl at his side, there is less at stake emotionally.

Not a big criticism, but it does narrow the target audience somewhat to those still young enough to play with their food, and those who appreciate jokes about cutting the cheese.

Unless you like food puns, of course, and there are no shortage of those.

Fans of Judi and Rob Barrett, who wrote the original book and two sequels, Pickles to Pittsburgh and Planet of the Pies, should note that filmmakers have gone an entirely new direction with Cloudy 2.

It’s an absorbing enough 90 minutes and a dream for anyone who has spent long periods of time staring at her plate, wishing her broccoli would just get up and walk away.

FILM Everyone pitched in on movie From page 13 as well as crafting numerous short films, there still wasn’t a budget for the quirky dance comedy.

“It was a wink and a smile for everything,”Taylor says. “The whole cast and crew volunteered their time.”

Some cast members even donated to the movie through a crowdfunding platform to help fund the North Vancouver production.

“We used our house to film, all of our neighbour’s houses,”Taylor says. “We even used Kay Meek Theatre.”

For Taylor, deciding to move ahead with the movie was an easy choice. “It was like either get a car and move out, or make a movie, so let’s make a movie.”

FILM

Fest offers feast for cinephiles Alexander Payne’s Nebraska, starring a veteran cast including Bruce Dern and Stacey Keach, opened the Vancouver International Film Festival last night in a gala presentation at the Centre for Performing Arts.

Dern won Best Actor at Cannes for his portrayal of a cantankerous father who thinks he’s struck it rich, and wrangles his son (Will Forte, Saturday Night Live) into taking a road trip to claim

the fortune. Payne shot the fim in black and white across four states.

Today the film festival gets into the meat of the schedule with 16 days of programming featuring more than 340 films from 70 countries on nine screens in seven theatres.

Many other award winners are on the VIFF schedule including Abdellatif Kechiche’s Palme d’Or winner Blue is theWarmest Color.

For years, Kendall Beard’s family and friends encouraged her to audition for American Idol with no avail.

“I’d seen so many incredible singers who had auditioned for that show and never even got a second look,” Beard says.

“I thought, ‘what makes me think that I can do better than them?’”

Ultimately, the countrysoul singer figured the worst that could happen at an audition was rejection. In 2008, Beard auditioned for American Idol Season 8 in

San Juan, Puerto Rico.

“Finally one year I got convinced to do it and the worst they could say was no. My dad had been asking me to audition for years and he couldn’t believe when I suggested that I go audition down in Puerto Rico,” Beard says. “Honestly the chances of me getting cut right away were high and so I figured, well, I might as well make a vacation out of it and go down to Puerto Rico and do it.”

Her plans for a long vacation were cut short when she made it past the first round of auditions.

“I was shocked when I made it through the first

It is as if people are listening to my diary aloud. It is everything from how I grew up to where I’m from.

“It’s more about my side of it and how it has affected me and how I’ve dealt with it,” she adds.

“I try to be as honest as I can and sometimes I find myself holding back a little bit when I write, but I really write it how I want to write it, which is honest and raw.”

Beard says All Around Girl represents years of writing and hard work.

“I’ve just kept writing and came into my own and started writing better stuff,” she says. “I wanted it to be great and I just wasn’t ready to put it out yet.”

Eventually, Beard found herself auditioning in front of cameras and judges on American Idol’s Hollywood Week.

“I’m so blessed that I got to experience that. I’m still shocked even today at the fans I have just from being on that show,” she says.

Fast forward to 2013 and the Austin,Texas native has just released her first full length album, All Around Girl, on the VMG (Vallejo Music) label. Beard says all the songs on the album are very personal and often about stuff that she has experienced.

“A lot of the stuff that I write about isn’t necessarily stuff that I’m going through right now in my life,” she says. “It’s kind of like a diary.

Cap U launches fall concert season Both new acts and returning faves on tap in 2013-2014

ERIN MCPHEE emcphee@nsnews.com

On Fiona Black’s first night in Buenos Aires, she took in a performance that blew her away.

Visiting the Argentine capital, “the home of tango,” last week as an invited guest at BAFIM, the Buenos Aires International Music Fair & Conference held Sept.

19-21, Black was treated to a show by the 15-piece Orquesta Típica Fernández Fierro.

“I loved them,” the North Vancouver resident says.

“I thought they were really good, really contemporary, really kick ass for tango.

Obviously Astor Piazzolla has had a huge impact and has shaped much of tango in Argentina but of course everyone is trying to do their own take on it. . . .They were really fun and I’ve not seen a full tango orchestra before.”

Such is life for the

director of programming for the North Shore Credit Union Centre for the Performing Arts at Capilano University. For the last 17 years, since the theatre’s inception, Black, 47, has been tasked with scouring the globe to bring the best acts from around the world to share their passion with local music lovers.

“It’s a hard life,” she laughs.

Black attends music conferences fairly regularly, giving her an opportunity to hear new artists and meet with their agents and managers in hopes of one day presenting them on the North Shore.

“I feel very strongly about seeing a group perform live before I invite them or I try to get the group to come here to perform. It’s got to be special, it’s got to be amazing. I set the bar pretty high,” she says.

MUSIC

Shows programmed at several venues From page 23 Argentina proved fruitful and Black was grateful to have been one of three Canadians, the other two were from Toronto, Ont., who were invited to attend.

“I got to see tons of music and meet some great people,” she says.

While Orquesta Típica will remain on her radar for future years, Black is currently focused on the launch of the North Shore Credit Union Centre for the Performing Arts’s 20132014 season.This year’s offerings are divided between a number of series, including Jazz, Global Roots,Theatre, Speaker, and Classical & Choral.The lineup is diverse, offering a mix of new and returning acts, and represents the growing collaborative approach arts presenters are taking on the North Shore.

Black has gone to great pains to ensure there is truly something for everyone.

“Definitely I try to have a really nice mix so that there’s hopefully music that will appeal to a wide range of people,” she says.

Due to her extensive travels, world music has become a strong passion of Black’s and she’s excited to be kicking off their Jazz series with Brazilian artist Vinicius Cantuária Friday, Oct. 4.

“We’ve never had him before, (he’s) a beautiful artist, I can’t wait,” she says, adding in March 2014, a second Brazilian artist, Márcio Faraco, will be returning to the Capilano University stage.

This year, they’re also bringing back fado singer and composer Antonió Zambujo, who connects the music of southern Portugal with Brazilian pop, Feb. 2, 2014.

“We had him a couple of years ago for his debut in North America and it went really well,” says Black.

“People loved the show, so it’s very satisfying to bring him back to the series.”

The season has a strong focus on Africa this year with Malian artists Habib Koité and Bamada Feb. 7, 2014 at Kay Meek Centre, along with fellow Malian artist Sidi Touré in a fusion duo project with Lousiana artist Cedric Watson April 8 at the Electric Owl, both part of the Global Roots Series.

Another ensemble making their Capilano debut is France’s Paris Combo

who haven’t played the market in more than 10 years.They¹ll play at Cap April 19, 2014.

“I love to introduce new artists constantly,” says Black. “I think new blood in the series is key to keeping fans of our series and regular attendees interested.We certainly bring back artists that do really well and are favourites. I try to give a little bit of space in between their appearances so that I don’t over expose them in the series.

“Obviously I’m conscious too that if I introduce an artist that’s brand new to North America even, it can be a bit risky. People don’t know who they are. I have to hope that they trust, that they’ll come out, that however we describe and we put upYouTube clips that it will be appealing to people, that they’ll be adventurous enough to take a gamble and come out to see a brand new artist.We’ve been pretty lucky in that way. It’s nice to have that latitude,” she says.

When asked what she attributes to their success over the years, Black says she credits their consistency in the quality of shows they’ve offered, as well, in the last few years they’ve been doing co-presentations with other venues, including Kay Meek, the Electric Owl and Presentation House Theatre.

This season, they’re copresenting Joel Fredericksen, a bass opera singer from Munich, Germany who will be doing a solo early music performance accompanying himself on the lute, entitled Orpheus, I am, at Presentation House Theatre Feb. 4.

“I see lots and lots of performances and I’m really committed to matching the artist with the venue,” says Black.

They’ve also partnered with the PuSH International Performing Arts Festival again this year for a presentation of Ethiopia’s Krar Collective, a latenight show Jan. 25, 2014 at Performance Works.

“You don’t want to sit down to this band, you want to get up and dance and have some fun.This is a venue that can support that,” says Black.

Some other big names featured this year include jazz legend Pat Metheny, performing as part of the Pat Metheny Unity Group, at the Vogue Theatre March 3, 2014.This is the second time

Cap has presented a show at the Vogue and it’s the first time Metheny has performed as part of their season.

Kicking off the Global Roots Series Tuesday night is famed Canadian performer Ron Sexsmith at Kay Meek Centre at 8 p.m.

“He’s just a great songwriter, great singer,” says Black. “There’s no one

who sings or sounds like Ron and I think that’s one of the biggest compliments you can pay an artist is when you can say no one sounds like them, they sound completely unique and original and that’s Ron to me. It will be a great kick-off for the Global Roots Series.”

Opening for Sexsmith is P.E.I.-born and Halifax

area-based singer-songwriter Jenn Grant, who previously worked with Sexsmith on her 2007 debut, Orchestra for the Moon.

Apart from their extensive live music lineup, Black is excited about two Speaker Series engagements they’re presenting this fall, including the “grand dame of gothic horror herself, Anne Rice,”

who will speak to the second work in her new series about werewolves, The Wolves of Midwinter, Nov. 7 at Kay Meek. Former Prime Minister Joe Clark will speak on his new book, HowWe Lead Canada in a Century of Change, Nov. 25.

What Should You Do if Someone is Having a Heart Attack?

W. Gifford-Jones, MD

I

t has been widely talked about for many years so it doesn’t come as a big surprise... heart disease, strokes and heart attacks are at an all-time high, affecting millions of Canadians. In fact, about 8 out of 10 Canadians are at risk of developing cardiovascular disease -a devastating illness that 74,000 people die from each year.

What exactly is a heart attack?

When the blood supply to the heart is slowed or stopped because of a blockage, a heart attack occurs.

Atherosclerosis, the narrowing of coronary arteries due to plaque buildup, causes more than 90% of heart attacks. A heart attack may also occur when a coronary artery temporarily contracts or goes into a severe spasm, shutting off blood flow to the heart.

Not all people who have heart attacks experience the same symptoms or experience them to the same degree.

Many heart attacks aren’t as dramatic as the ones you’ve seen on TV. Some people have no symptoms at all, while for others, the first sign may be sudden cardiac arrest. Still, the more signs and symptoms, the greater the likelihood that person may be having a heart attack. The severity of heart attack symptoms can vary too. Some people have mild pain, while others experience severe pain.

A heart attack can occur anytime — at work or play, while you’re resting, or while you’re in motion. Some heart attacks strike suddenly, but many people who experience a heart attack have warning signs and symptoms hours, days or weeks in advance. The earliest warning of a heart attack may be recurrent chest pain (angina) that is triggered by exertion. Angina is caused by a temporary decrease in blood flow to the heart.

Common symptoms include: • Pressure, tightness, pain, or a squeezing or aching sensation in the chest or arms. It may also spread to the neck, jaw or back.

• Nausea, indigestion, heartburn or abdominal pain • Shortness of breath • Sweating or a cold sweat • Feelings of anxiety or an impending sense of doom • Fatigue • Trouble sleeping • Light-headedness or dizziness

What to do if you see someone having a heart attack?

If you encounter someone who is unconscious from a presumed heart attack, call for emergency medical help If you have received training in emergency procedures, begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This helps deliver oxygen to the body and brain.

According to the American Heart Association, regardless of whether you’ve been trained, you should begin CPR with chest compressions. Press down about 2 inches (5 centimeters) on the person’s chest at a rate of about 100 a minute. If you’ve been trained in CPR, check the person’s airway and deliver rescue breaths after every 30 compressions. If you haven’t been trained, continue compressions until help arrives.

If you are experiencing any warning signs, you should call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number right away, or have someone call for you. Stop all activity and sit or lie down in a position that is most comfortable and try to remain calm until help arrives.

What can you do to improve your heart health?

Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Noble Prize winner, reported 25 years ago that humans do not make their own Vitamin C. He also found that Vitamin C is needed to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Dr. Pauling also found that taking several thousand milligrams of Vitamin C a day can help to remove artery blockages and help to prevent a heart attack. Prevention is your best strategy for a strong and healthy cardiovascular system.

The acoustics in our theatre are outstanding and really lend themselves to those kind of shows.

Beard made it to Hollywood Week From page 22

pour more emotion into her writing.

“By the time I got deep into writing it my country roots started coming out,” Beard says. “I also kept the vocals pretty raw and I could have gone and done more touch-ups and tried to perfect it but that’s how I wanted to sound. I wanted it to sound a little bit more raw and natural to bring out my country Texas roots.”

Beard began singing at an early age. By the time she was 12 years old she had been performing in the Texas rodeo circuit.

“I convinced my parents to let me perform in the Texas rodeo circuit and at rodeos,” Beard says. “It was then that they realized how passionate and serious I was and how happy it made me.”

“I was really blessed to have parents that supported me and let me do that type of stuff,” Beard adds.

In her early teens, Beard’s career took a sudden turn when she was recruited at the age of 15 by members of Boyz II Men to join a Pennsylvanian pop group called Sahara Lane. Beard relocated to Philadelphia and spent three years with the group.

“I learned so much about the music industry. I learned how much hard work and dedication it takes to make it in this industry,” Beard says about her time with Sahara Lane. “Nothing really came

out of the actual group.We had a bunch of meetings and stuff but it was kind of around the time the record industry was changing and they weren’t signing these major deals anymore. People were buying labels out and going independent.”

When Beard was 18years-old she decided to leave Sahara Lane and return to the Lone Star State. The Texas native says she was exhausted from the music scene and that she decided to put her career on hold.

“One day I said I’m burnt out and this isn’t making me happy anymore and I want to go to school,” Beard says. “I felt that the music would find me again, which it did, but at the time I wanted a college education.”

Beard then enrolled at the University of Texas for a communications degree and graduated in 2007.

“I developed and became an adult and came into my own,” she says.

Even though Beard had put her music career on hold she knew she would return to her passion.

“I knew that I had to be on the creative side and start writing music again,” she says.

Two years after graduating, Beard found herself in front of cameras during Hollywood Week on American Idol.

The University of Texas graduate says just being

on the show was a great learning experience, despite it being stressful at times.

“Honestly Hollywood Week was one of the most stressful weeks of my life.

It is as stressful as it looks on T.V.You’re thrown into a room with a group of headstrong musicians and it obviously creates drama,”

Beard says. “Once I got on the show and had my core group it was just amazing.

It was amazing to meet everyone and we really were like a family.You get to see the whole side of how that works and it is totally a different world.”

Beard explains that being on American Idol showed her just how much

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to FASHION & STYLE

From left, the little Coco Chanel, the rocker, the urban preppy and the skater are hot looks for children this fall and may even motivate some kids to get dressed in the morning. Scan this page with Layar to see more back-to-school fashion ideas from Sears. PHOTOS SUPPLIED

Urban style is cool for school CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

Back-to-school season marks the return of the morning rush and the daily battle between parents and kids to get dressed and out the door on time.

For some children, fashion can be a motivator to get them excited about waking up in the morning and heading to school in style. Nancy Dennis, trend director for children’s wear at Sears, has some tips for

fashion-conscious kids and their parents. This season, she says, children’s clothing is inspired by the city.

For girls, the Parisian chic look takes style cues from fashion icon Coco Chanel. A classic tweed blazer paired with a sleeveless shift can be made more age appropriate with the addition of dainty details, such as bows, ruffles and Peter Pan collars.

“Start with classic pieces and add pops of glam with hints of metallic

or sparkle. Girls can sport a silver metallic ballet flat or a graphic tee with a Parisian theme,” Dennis suggests.

Another hot-for-fall item is printed denim.

“It adds texture and appeal to an outfit when worn with a solid or graphic tee,” Dennis says.

To achieve an edgy rock ’n’ roll look, she suggests girls pair their printed denim with a black moto boot accented with metal studs or buckles.

For boys, the urban

preppy look is all the rage.

“This look screams sophistication, helping these dapper dudes look wise beyond their years,” Dennis says. “Pairing more formal tops and jackets with casual bottoms like a pair of jeans or chinos is the uniform for the urban prepster.”

To keep a preppy outfit modern, Dennis suggests adding an urban detail, such as a rolled cuff or a trendy boot.

The effortlessly cool skater look continues to be

popular for boys.

“Mixing prints, patterns, graphics and bold colours in the same outfit embodies the skater’s devil-may-care attitude,” Dennis says.

Fashion trends aside, she recommends parents work with their children to encourage them to express themselves so they are comfortable and confident in their clothes.

“It is important to allow boys and girls to express their creativity and personality through their style,” she says.

Two North Vancouver businesses are teaming up to help five brides-tobe look their very best on their wedding days.

Pure Magnolia bridal shop and Zazou Salon and Spa are giving makeovers to a group of women who have used programs at YWCA Crabtree Corner, a family resources centre on the Downtown Eastside that supports women and their families. The five women are now engaged and ready to start a new chapter in their lives, but are unable to afford wedding dresses.

Over the summer, Pure Magnolia asked past brides to consider parting with their gowns. The donations were then upcycled into custom-designed wedding dresses for the five women.

“A wedding is supposed to be such a special moment for the bride, and I want to make sure she feels beautiful and extremely special on her wedding day,” said Pure Magnolia designer Patty Nayel.

Meanwhile, Zazou Salon and Spa in Lynn Valley has offered to treat all five of the women to a day at their salon. And for the finishing touch, Mirror Mirror Bijoux has created custom-made jewelry for

the roadside. A cool dip in one of the many lakes is a must.

Motoring on the mountain Trial bike riding takes “hiking” to a whole new level

NEW EXHIBIT NOW OPEN

Writer and adventurer Dave Norona recounts his recent motorbike ride in the Shulaps Mountains.

Driving up through the Duffey Lake road towards Lillooet is one of the most breathtaking drives in Southwestern B.C. Huge mountaintops reach for the sky as brilliant blue glaciers cling to them in the summer heat. If you’re lucky like us, you will also see deer, bears and other wildlife from

At the end of July, my group of three was making our way to the Shulaps Mountain Range to ride some of our favourite backcountry trails.

Our home was right on the edge of Marshall Lake, which is a serene lake with awesome camping. Once we set up camp, we grabbed our chairs and drinks and hit the lake for some relax time.

Early the next morning, we loaded up the truck and made our way to Mud Lake south, some 30 kilometres away, and unloaded our trials bikes (“trials” motorbikes are used for specialized non-speed, obstacle course-like riding). This dirt bike area has been around for more than 35 years, but what makes it special is that due to the high elevation it is only open for a few months a year thanks to snow and inclement weather.

Trials bikes are the perfect tool for exploring this area. Their low footprint allows you to become a motorized hiker traversing more than 100 kilometres a day and reaching into areas that would take four times as long by foot or mountain bike.

The initial trail climbed quickly up through a tight alpine forest with lots of steep corners so that we were gaining altitude fast. After about 20 minutes the trail opened up and revealed unbelievable wildflowers as far as the eye could see.

We just stopped and sat in awe looking at the brilliant sea of red, yellow and blue bordering the 50 different shades of green.

It was awesome!

We continued on the trail up and out of the sub-alpine and into the rocky shale alpine at 7,000 feet. It now felt like we were on the moon traversing wicked trails that led from mountaintop to mountaintop. At 8,600 feet we found the perfect spot for lunch and enjoyed killer views in every direction.

After lunch we descended into a pristine alpine lake. The crystal blue water shimmered in the afternoon heat and I could not resist taking a dip in the freezing cold water while the others sat back and watched.

Back at camp that evening we enjoyed a hearty meal around a giant fire and shared the experiences of our day with a few other campers before going for a midnight swim.

The next few days had us traversing the Shulaps mountain range to the Yalakom Valley and other secret spots, enjoying incredible lakes, jaw-dropping vistas and seemingly endless single track. This is one of my favourite areas, and it is cool to share it with horses, hunters, miners, loggers, and other users who have been using this area for more than 100 years.

Get Outside Urban treasure hunting

oC hot Sp NEW

Geocaching is a hobby that involves using GPS to track down hidden “treasures” around town The North Shore mountain trails are not just popular among hikers, dog walkers and mountain bikers. They are also a hot spot for treasure hunters.

Hidden in tree hollows, under rocks and between protruding roots are dozens of geocaches: small, waterproof containers that hold, at the very least, a logbook for finders to sign and date. Many larger geocaches also contain inexpensive trinkets for trading.

Geocachers, as the finders are called, use GPS co-ordinates to hide and seek these containers, which are located all over the world.

I picked up the quirky hobby this summer, looking to turn my aimless woodland strolls into goal-oriented adventures. So far, I’ve had the thrill of uncovering a small handful of these tricky-to-find treasures.

On a recent sunny lunch break, I decided to track down one of North Vancouver’s urban geocaches. There are several popular geocaching websites where users can view maps and look up GPS co-ordinates. I use geocaching.com. Here, I find the co-ordinates for a geocache that looks to be located near 14th Street and Lonsdale Avenue. According to the online write-up, it’s been hidden by the North Vancouver Arts Office and is one in a series of geocaches placed near public artworks on the North Shore. I write down the co-ordinates, grab my smartphone, which has a free GPS application, and head out the door.

The numbers quickly lead me to the public plaza outside the North Vancouver RCMP detachment. I feel a little suspicious rummaging around in the bushes outside a police station, but take comfort in the fact that many geocachers have likely been here

People can also log their finds online, where they can leave comments and report problems to the original hider, such as vandalism, a wet log book, or even a suspected missing geocache.

In April, Metro Vancouver responded to the growing popularity of geocaching and approved a Regional Parks Geocaching Policy.

The regional authority permits the hobby in parks, because it encourages outdoor recreation, as long as the activity does not negatively impact the environment.

before me. I won’t give away exactly where I located the geocache, in case readers want to find it for themselves, but let’s just say no bushwhacking or digging is required.

“Official geocache”is written in permanent marker on the lid of the grey, plastic container I find. Inside are a few plastic toys (I didn’t bring anything to trade, so I don’t take anything). Inside a Ziploc baggie is a piece of paper where previous finders have logged the date they found the geocache. I pencil in my name, replace the box exactly where I found it and head back to the office with a sense of satisfaction.

YOUR HEALTH President’s own story: 15 years ago I started to have arthritis, prostate, kidney, snoring and sleep apnea problems, which were all helped quickly with natural health products. I made it my life’s purpose to help others. Nick A. Jerch

ARTHRITIS

NPN 80042283 Helps to relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis.

Truthful actual experiences from real people:

! For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage #1 spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON !My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA!I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON!For 32 years I cried barrels of tears. Was in and out of hospitals costing society tens of thousands of dollars. I have taken many thousands of pills that nearly killed me. Finally 3 bottles of Bell Shark Cartilage costing less than $100 stopped a lifetime of suffering without side effects. Eleanor Sauson, Shigawake, QC !I suffered for years with sciatica. I tried everything and finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. After this experience I realised I could help many of those 5 million Canadian that suffer every day and night and I started to sell this same type of shark cartilage and helped hundreds of thousands of men and women to have less pain #1 or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle Products. !Many people on our website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night”…hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

SNORING?

SLEEP APNEA?

As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D. NPN 80027595 Helps to reduce the time it takes to fall asleep What people truly experience: In most cases also stops snoring and gasping for air (sleep

apnea) first night. Stops torturing your partner all night. Good sleep prevents being tired next day. Tired people work only at half capacity.! I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH ! Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could #23 not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS ! For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life.

Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS !It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years.

Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.

are a modern epidemic

NPN 80043542. Provides source of antioxidants. Holy basil is traditionally used in Ayurveda as an expectorant to help relieve respiratory catarrh (inflammation of respiratory tract mucus membranes). By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.

I don’t have to walk around like a doped zombie anymore. Leonard Waldner, 44, Delia, AB ! For 20 years my #24 life was miserable with sneezing, watery eyes and sinus pressure year-round on most days. I was amazed.

On 3rd day all allergies were gone. It was like magic. Becky Gerber, 25, Dover, OH !Golfing without allergy attacks I tried all the medications and none worked. After taking 1 capsule in the morning I’m completely free of all symptoms. Richard Gamez, 74, San Antonio, TX !God bless you I went from doctor to doctor for years with allergy sinus problems. The medications made me still sicker. After starting Bell Allergy Relief one capsule at night I felt like born again the next morning. Therese Noto, 58, New York, NY.

By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.

True success stories by women: !Bladder & Yeast Infection #31 works within a day or two! My experience in the last 4 years is that whenever I feel symptoms of an infections I take two capsules for a day or two and the infection is gone. I love this product. Pat Pearce, 53, Brantford, ON ! 30 years of bladder infections gone! For 30 years my doctor prescribed antibiotics. As soon as the medication finished the next bladder infection came back. After 2 days taking Bell # 31 I noticed a complete relief of my infection I had all these 30 years. God bless you all for helping all of us women. Emell Whitaker, 69, Bronx, NY !

Bladder infections kept on coming back. Since starting Bell Bladder & Yeast Infection #31 my infection was gone and I now take it from time to time for prevention and I have no more bladder or yeast infections. I told family and friends how good Bell products are. Thank you! Maria Racz, 60, Vancouver, BC !Went to the bathroom 10 times in an hour and more frequently at night!. In the last 2 years I went a number of #31 times to the doctor and got different antibiotics and none of them worked. My urination would burn enormously.

Calming Stress

NPN 80041855 Helps to promote healthy mood balance, relaxation, use as a sleep aid and mental stress.

By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD. Truthful experience by people: ! I am calm now in stressful situations! In the past 10 years I had a very short fuse, because my job is quite unpredictable. After I started Bell Calming Chronic Stress #66 the difference was amazing. My reactions to stressful situations are totally changed. I also have more energy, too.

I don’t yell at others. I have more patience and I am much happier as well. Thank you. Mary-Anne Thompson, 61, Lasalle, ON ! I suffered greatly from anxiety. Standard treatments did not make me feel good. So my mother bought Bell Calming Chronic #66 Stress #66 and it has been helping me a lot. I am on my 3rd bottle.

Remington Fletcher, 19, Ponty Pool, ON ! I have a very high stress career in the film industry. There was no time for relaxation or meditation as you are on demand for 12-15 hours a day with no breaks. Since using Bell #66I am able to focus on the tasks at hand with more patience. Thank you for your help! Christina Ollson, 36, Burnaby, BC !It’s exactly one year since we began using Bell Calming Chronix Stress #66 for our two sons. Our local health food store recommended it. Both of our sons suffer from anxiety disorders. Our older son (14) was going through puberty and had become quite unmanageable, because he is much larger than I am. We are delighted with the immediate results. Our older son became his former sweet self and our younger son’s (12) anxiety is dramatically reduced. Thank you so much.

From page 16 and help each other win, rather than live in this singular competition where it’s every man for himself,” Drover says.The rationale behind their unlikely cooperation is if one man can win Penelope’s love, Odysseus will spare all their lives when he arrives home to find them enjoying his wealth and courting his wife.

On the surface, Penelope is a comedy.The four men preen and posture in Odysseus’ empty swimming pool, which they have transformed into a man cave complete with a barbecue, booze and blaring music.

“There’s something ridiculous about these four guys who haven’t gone off to war like Odysseus has, but they’ve stayed at home and what kind of self-important myths have they created about themselves,” Drover says.

But beyond the revealing swimwear, feats of strength and snide insults are darker themes as the characters begin to face their true selves.

“These men realize that they’ve led pretty terrible, unworthy lives and they have about 45 minutes to redeem 092613

From page 43

themselves before they’re all killed,” Drover says. “These men are forced to look at themselves and forced to admit, finally, once and for all, ‘This is who I am and I’ve been running away from that truth all my life.’”

The self-reflective script is one reason Rumble Theatre was drawn to Penelope in the first place.

“I really love plays that are really about probing, I suppose, our inner makeup and our inner psyche and really digging into what it means to be human,” Drover says, adding that he is also keen on making international plays accessible to local theatre-goers.

“Why should a Vancouverite have to go to London to see a great script from Europe? We should be doing them here.”

Penelope is no doubt a contemporary play, as evidenced by references to CDs and Lexus cars, but Drover says the show also has a classical flavour inspired by the original source material.

“There’s something also very ancient Greek about it where there’s prophecy and there’s the sense that See Irish page 45

Irish play inspired by ancient Greek myths From page 44 the gods are going to take vengeance on us,” he says.

“So it sits in a strange intersection of contemporary and classical sensibilities.”

Audiences can expect to laugh out loud, while at the same time witnessing incisive observations about human — specifically male — behaviour, Drover says.

“My biggest hope is that people leave the theatre

talking about the things that the play wants to talk about,” he says. “Not about the play itself, but about life and death and God and heaven and hell.”

For those unfamiliar with Homeric legends, Drover assures that viewers needn’t understand The Odyssey in order to enjoy Penelope any more than they would need to know Hamlet to enjoy The Lion King.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE

These films will all give you a rush BRENDAN MCALEER ContributingWriter

This weekend the Ron Howard Formula One biopic Rush comes to theatres.

At time of writing, I have yet to see the film, but friends and colleagues who’ve had a sneak preview assure me it’s well worth the price of admission. Just the ticket price that is, not the secondary mortgage required to buy a bag of popcorn and a small drink these days.

Still, with big budget special effects, it’s the kind of thing best seen on the big screen. But what if you’re after a quiet night in? What if your cat likes racing movies?

What if you prefer a nice cold beer to a sack of oversalted popcorn? What then?

Take heart — here’s a list of some of the other best racing movies of all time.

Fire up Netflix, put your feet up on the coffee table, grab a Red Racer and gentlemen, start your engines.

Lexus kept its small sedan, the IS, relatively unchanged for nearly a decade but big changes finally arrived in 2014. The new look is very aggressive but under the scowling exterior is the same dynamic V-6 engine. PHOTO SUPPLIED

to THE ROAD

Lexus IS gets angry For eight long years, Lexus has kept the smallest of its sedans as is, without much in the way of updates.

From the looks of things, this strategy has made the new model very angry indeed.

My word, this is one aggressive looking car. But here’s the thing — beneath that scowling exterior lurks a familiar heart: the same old V-6 powerplant, with the same old six-speed transmission.

If you look through the

Brendan McAleer

Grinding Gears

sales results, you’ll find that Lexus sells plenty of their

slightly-nicer-Prius, the CT, and many, many of their biggish crossover, the RX. The neglected IS, while a nimble, decent-driving machine, doesn’t really compete on an even footing with cars like the BMW 3-Series.

However, Lexus says that their entirely new IS lineup is now about driving pleasure first and foremost.

They might sell cars that are luxurious and/or appliancelike, but they also want to be seen as a genuine

performance brand.That’s why they built the supercar LFA, they say.

This F Sport model is supposedly bred from that same wild DNA — Lexus insists it’s a rival to the segment-leading BMW 3-series. Let’s just see about that.

Grand Prix, 1966 James Garner’s primary contribution to the automotive world is, of course, the Rockford J-turn: accelerate backwards, then crank the wheel, shift gears and zoom off in a cloud of

Oh my, what a big grille you have From page 53

out of a grille.This machine takes us one step closer to that day.

No sitting on the fence for this one, you either love or hate the new looks of the IS.The giant hourglass, the Nike Swooshes under each bulging LED lamp, the gaping air intakes — it’s all quite a lot to take in.

From all other angles, however, Lexus has done an exemplary job with their angular, flowing design language.The IS looks nimbler than its larger stablemates, naturally, but it has some of that same road presence and conservatism.

F-sport models wear

an aerodynamics kit, along with that extra-scary front grimace.The straight edges tie nicely with the oddly elongated rear lights, and the gunmetal-coloured 18-inch alloys are reasonably sized.

No, it’s the front that’s going to be the deal breaker for most folks with this car. I keep worrying that it’s going to bite someone.

Environment Where the exterior of the IS is polarizing, the interior is less so. It’s a more conservative, sensible version of the LFA’s cockpit, and has a bit of style of its own.

The first thing to notice See Sliding page 56

The hourglass grille, bulging LED headlights and massive air intakes give the IS an aggressive, almost angry look from the front, although when looked at from all other angles the car returns to its stylish, understated roots. PHOTOS SUPPLIED

Clever Lexus has come up with a new way to shape leather to form curves, an advancement that bolsters the look and feel of the seats in the IS. PHOTO SUPPLIED

is the seats — these have the aggressive side-bolstering you expect from a sports sedan, but are also nicely comfortable. Lexus, always a stickler for details, has come up with a new way to shape and bond the leather to form curves, and the seats both look and feel the better for it.

F-Sport models get a sporty looking three-spoke steering wheel (heated in my Executive-level tester), and then there’s the trick instrument panel. Pressing a button on the steering wheel allows the tachometer to slide to the right, revealing a large, left-mounted digital screen that shows off all kinds of extra information.

Combined with the

entirely digital tachometer sweep and a gauge that glows red as the revs climb, it’s the sort of thing that could easily be a bit cheesy were it not so well executed.

It’s a fun piece of equipment and it never got old to hit the button and slide into attack mode.

Not so fun is the Lexus Remote Touch system.

This is a sort of trackpad device to control the navigation and on-board systems, and it is fiddly, slow, and a bit outdated.Your passengers also can’t enter in destinations once on the move, even though the car has a weight sensor telling it that the passenger’s seat is occupied.

Overall though, fit and finish are at the usual

Lexus-like level, and with increased rear legroom and reasonable trunk space, it’s a marked improvement over the old model, and entirely competitive in its segment.

Performance As previously mentioned, the IS comes with one of two carry-over V-6 options: a smaller 2.5-litre engine good for 204 horsepower, or the 3.5-litre option here, with 306 h.p. Rear-wheel drive IS350 F-Sport models get a new eight-speed automatic, everything else gets the same old six-speed.

It’s the sort of careful, non-revolutionary move you’d expect from a company under the Toyota See Sport page 58

ROUND 2

Sport model’s engine and chassis set for dynamic driving From page 56 umbrella, and while my AWD tester didn’t have a gee-whiz talking point like forced induction or a clever gearbox to recommend it, that turned out to not be too much of a problem.

The bigger-bore V-6 is an excellent engine, slightly noisy at idle, but smooth and capable of startlingly ferocious noises higher up in the rev-range.

It pulls strongly, and is simultaneously happy to putter about at lower speeds.

Having been around for a while, the venerable sixspeed automatic has shift-

points well-paired to the 3.5-litre, and doesn’t hunt for gears.

What’s more, if you turn the centrally mounted Drive Select controller to Sport or Sport+ mode (this last is more sporty, and therefore presumably better), the IS ditches the specs and turns into a full-fledged back road burner.

This is a great chassis.

It’s the equal of the ATS for handling, if perhaps with slightly less feel, but using the paddle shifters to keep the revs up, the Lexus is decidedly un-Lexus-like in behaviour.

It doesn’t necessarily

urge the driver on the way the baby Caddy does, but it’s nimble enough, and the all-wheel-drive system does a great job in keeping everything planted on wet roads.While there are more powerful engines on offer from its German competition, the IS350’s V-6 plays a great tune — an unexpectedly lively machine.

If this sort of boogie is not your bag, you’ll be pleased to note that the IS also does a solid job as a settled-down cruiser.

There’s a bit too much tire roar in the F-Sport model

NASCAR flicks are dumb and fun

From page 53

tire smoke, preferably while in a brown Pontiac Firebird.

Before TV, Garner starred in this racing epic, also about Formula One of its day. Using real footage, as well as some staggeringly dangerous stunt work, Grand Prix boasts a very high level of realism, as well as cameos by nearly every racing driver of the period, from Jim Clark to Juan Manuel Fangio.

The plot’s not exactly as thrilling as the racing, and the movie is stupefyingly long at 176 minutes (they coulda called it the Fellowship of the Nürburgring), but Saul Bass’s cinematography puts you right in the action.

Garner turned out to be such a decent driver, he took up racing after doing much of the driving in the film — he actually even suffered a fairly bad burn when his race car went up in flames.

To give you an idea of the speeds involved, some of the camera work was done

by American F1 champion Phil Hill in a modified Ford GT40.

The movie would eventually take home three Oscars and did well at the box office too. A classic.

Days Of Thunder, 1990 Everyone’s complaint with this movie is that it’s basically just Top Gun with cars. OK, so here’s my plug for it: it’s basically Top Gun with cars. Highway to the Danger Zone.

Cruise’s troubled and reckless Cole Trickle battles fear of crashing to win his first Daytona 500. I hope that’s not too much of a spoiler for you, it’s a Tom Cruise movie, and the good guy wins.

This is not a very serious movie, but it’s a heck of a lot of fun. Possibly the best part is the scene where Cruise and his main rival race along the beach in a pair of rental cars, smashing against each other and basically beating the things to pieces.

If you need any further help getting into the mood for the NASCAR special,

it’s worth noting that the theme song was recorded by the lead singer of White Snake on a day off from their — can’t make this stuff up — Liquor and Poker world tour.

Quote of the film: “Rubbin’s racin’!”

Senna, 2010 Getting back to serious business, this wonderfully shot documentary on the life of one of the finest racers to ever sit behind the wheel is moving in more ways than one.

Ayrton Senna died in 1994 at the San Marino Grand Prix. He was the last driver to be killed in a Formula One race, and his death is doubly tragic as it was so preventable — another driver was killed at the exact same corner the day before during qualifying.

While the film of course discusses the death of the iconic Brazilian, it focuses more on the nature of his life, his ascendancy through the racing ranks, his consummate skill, his special ability to drive extremely fast in the rain.

It’s a wonderful homage to a near-mythical racer, and one accessible even to people who know nothing about the history of Formula One. Love The Beast, 2009 Eric Bana is an Australian actor best known for his roles in the Star Trek reboot, Black Hawk Down, and Munich. He’s also bit weird when it comes to his car.

OK, so technically, this movie is a bit less about Bana’s rally racing exploits than about his love of a 1974 Ford Falcon XB that he’s owned since he was 15, but it’s still a great flick. Jeremy Clarkson, Dr. Phil and Jay Leno all make appearances, talking about what makes us love cars so much.

More important is the film’s portrayal of a connection with family and friends. Bana still keeps in touch with his childhood pals, and they all work on the Falcon (now seriously hot-rodded and raceprepped), entering it in the

challenging Targa Tasmania where . . . oh, I won’t spoil it for you.

Any gearhead worth their salt will come away from the film with a vague feeling of satisfaction and a strange urge to buy Mr. Bana a Foster’s at the earliest opportunity.

Talladega Nights, 2006 Yes, it’s another silly NASCAR movie. However, Will Ferrell’s ridiculous Ricky Bobby and John C.

Reilly’s equally bumbling Cal Naughton Jr. go together like Shake and Bake.

No, the racing is not particularly realistic. No, you won’t find hidden meanings or even any driving tips really.Yes, you will have a rollicking good time.

Le Mans, 1971 Everyone equates Steve McQueen with Bullit.Well, after he did that pokey little art-house flick, he did this.

Le Mans is not a very

good movie, per se. It’s mostly just a bunch of endurance racing footage, all highly accurate and strung over the most skeletal of plots.

And yet, in spite of this simple structure, it’s a movie that has stood the test of time simply because the footage is so amazing.

People are nuts over it — the 911 McQueen drives in the opening sequence sold recently for $1.25 million.

Quote of the film: “When

you’re racing, it . . . it’s life.

Anything that happens before or after . . . is just waiting.”

Honorable Mentions because I’ve run out of room: Bobby Deerfield, 1977; Winning, 1969; Cars, 2006; The Fast and the Furious, (only joking).

ignition, heated seats and a central multi-function display. Moving up to the F-Sport Executive Package, as my tester was equipped, bumped the price to $53,200, but was actually $650 cheaper than the standard Executive trim.

At the top of the range, the F-Sport Executive came with an excellent 15-speaker Mark-Levinson premium audio system, dynamic radar cruise control, a rear power sunshade and the entire suite of F-Sport enhancements.

Standard Executive trims get a few extra niceties like ventilated seats instead of the go-fast looks.

Observed fuel economy was decent for this power level — leaving the Drive Select in Eco mode for a longer trip allowed the weekly average to come down around the 10.5 litre/100 kilometre level, mostly on hilly mountain roads and shorter in-town trips. Premium fuel is required.

You have to hand the driving experience to the Caddy as well, though only by the slimmest of margins, and only when fully equipped.
