Lynn Valley to grow up in height Centre will get 8- and 12-storeys at ‘strategic’ spots JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

District of North Vancouver council adopted a plan for future development in Lynn Valley town centre Monday night that allows for building heights of between eight and 12 storeys to be considered in key locations.

Council unanimously passed the plan that calls for

most building heights to be limited to five storeys, but allows up to eight storeys on several “strategic” parcels, including land on the north side of East 27th Street between Lynn Valley Road and Mountain Highway, and two blocks that abut the corner of Kirkstone Park.

Council will also consider buildings up to 12 storeys on a “case by case” basis.

The decision Monday night came after a long and emotional process, which has divided residents.

Prior to the vote Monday, a number of residents spoke both for and against the plan for increased density.

Iconic Greenpeace vessel docks in NV

BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

The flagship vessel of world’s preeminent environmental group has dropped its gangplank on our shores.

After spending the last four weeks crossing the Pacific Ocean, Greenpeace’s Rainbow Warrior III docked at the Burrard pier next to Lonsdale Quay on Tuesday evening and will be open to the public for tours on Friday and Saturday.

Even though it’s the

first time the ship has ever been in Canadian waters, it is something of a spiritual homecoming for the Rainbow Warrior.

Greenpeace was founded in Vancouver and its first environmental action — a 1971 voyage by founding activists to interrupt a planned hydrogen bomb test in the Aleutian Islands — left from Vancouver.

Former North Shore News columnist Bob Hunter was a co-founder See Ship page 3

Homelessness increasing: task force Major events planned for ActionWeek JULES KNOX newsroom@nsnews.com

More seniors and families are slipping into poverty, according to the North Shore Homelessness Task Force.

Don Peters, a member of the task force, is trying to raise awareness for Homelessness Action Week, taking place from Oct. 10 to 19.

“Evidence is grim,” he said. “The lineups at the Sally Ann are growing longer, they’re younger, and they are older as well,”

Peters said. “The shelters are full and it’s not even winter yet.”

A count from 2011 estimated that there are 120 homeless people on the North Shore, but outreach workers estimate the present number is at least 300, Peters said.

Over the last few years, the task force has worked to support shower programs, emergency shelters and resource cards. It has also created a roundtable for seniors at risk of homelessness, Peters said.

A community employment developer has been hired by the Lookout Society — which operates the North Shore shelter, to help those in need develop job and life skills.

“North Vancouver is a

major partner and player in all of these efforts, providing time and funds throughout the year,” said Peterson.

“But there is a dark side because homelessness continues to increase. More people each year slip into poverty.”

In B.C., poverty costs the government $2.2 to $2.3 billion annually, Peters said.

“Society as a whole bears the costs of poverty through higher medical costs and policing and crime costs,” he said. “Surely a comprehensive poverty reduction plan in B.C. is something we need to look at.”

On a municipal level, Peters asked for council’s continued support of the task force. “Look for and nurture housing champions

wherever you can find them,” he said.

Council members expressed interest in meeting with local MPs and MLAs to address the issue.

“We should be doing absolutely everything we can,” said Coun. Craig Keating. “Sometimes it’s going to be compelling people to build more social housing through our redevelopment application, sometimes it’s going to be taking on housing we have to provide . . . sometimes it’s going to be talking about the diversity of housing supply.

“Ultimately housing is a commodity like any other commodity,” Keating said.

“Its price rises because it’s being restricted.

“This isn’t a problem of

another time and another people. It’s here, it’s now, and it’s us.”

Community events, including dinners, movies and music are taking place throughout the week: ■ Oct. 10: Movie, dinner and discussion night, 6 p.m., AmblesideYouth Centre, 1018 Marine Dr., WV. ■ Oct. 14:Thanksgiving dinner, 5 p.m., Lookout Shelter, 705 West Second St., NV. Everyone welcome.

■ Oct. 15: Community dinner and music, 5:30 p.m., North Lonsdale United Church, 3380 Lonsdale Ave., NV. RSVP only to 604-985-4911.

■ Oct. 16: North Shore Connect Day (includes meals, health clinic, clothing vouchers, hair cuts,

employment programs, income assistance and counselling programs) 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., John Braithwaite Community Centre, 145 W. First St., NV. ■ Oct. 16:Youth dinner, 5 p.m.,Youth Safe House, open to present and past guests.

■ Oct. 17: Mothers and kids lunch, 11 a.m., Salvation Army, 105 W. 12th St., NV. ■ Oct. 18: Senior’s tea, 10 a.m., North Shore Neighbourhood House, 225 East Second St., NV. ■ Oct. 19: Street soccer exhibition game, 4:30 p.m., John Braithwaite Community Centre, , 145 W. First St., NV. Dinner for players hosted by Salvation Army.

Ship open to public tours From page 1 and part of the crew on the first voyage, and News founder Peter Speck, photographer Rex Weyler and accountant Bill Gannon were early directors and staff with the Greenpeace.

While that first action never stopped the U.S. government from carrying out the test, it launched the Greenpeace name into households around North America and helped propel the organization to grow to the multi-million member organization it is today.

Bill Darnell, one of the original members and the man who is credited with coming up with the term “green peace,” toured the Warrior Thursday.

Asked if he wished the group had the vessel when it first began, Darnel put things into perspective.

“I think we started in the right place, and it’s just amazing what they did over 42 years,” he said.

This is the third incarnation of the Rainbow Warrior to enter the Greenpeace fleet.The first was bombed and sunk by the French government to stop it from interfering with nuke tests in the South Pacific.The second was retired in 2011 when Rainbow Warrior III was launched from a German shipyard.The $31-million vessel was paid for entirely by crowd-sourced donations from more than 100,000

donors.

Unlike its predecessors, which ran on diesel engines, today’s Rainbow Warrior gets by primarily under sail.

With the right wind, the 57metre, 855-ton yacht can hit 13 knots at sea. It also boasts its own ability to make fresh water from seawater and no waste goes overboard.

Organics are frozen for later composting and recycling and what minimal garbage it produces is compacted for later disposal.

Speck, today, reflects fondly on the early days of Greenpeace. “Our average donation size was eight bucks.We, at the time, had the image that we were going to get some heavy hitters who would help buy $20,000 worth of fuel, but when you look at the reality, it was those $8-donations that was keeping us going at the time,” he said.

While he’s had his differences with the organization since its heady days in Vancouver, Speck still holds the ideals that spawned Greenpeace.

“It was a wonderful time. It was a time of great change, a time of a dawning understanding of animals and the animal spirit.We’re all in this together, dogs, whales and people.We’re caught up in the net of life and time.This is it.This is not a rehearsal,” he said.

The ship is open for public tours from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

2,000 wanted 6-storey limit From page 1

plan said density is needed to ensure a vibrant local economy.

“Most of the residents of Lynn Valley I’ve spoke to would like to see at least eight storeys or higher.

Lynn Valley Mall is dying.

The area needs to be revitalized,” said John Neumann.

Others disagreed. Alex Schwartz presented council with a petition of more than 2,000 names of people

opposed to heights over six storeys.

“We don’t want to be like NewYork City,” said Dianne Bogue. “We want to keep the character of Lynn Valley the way it is now.”

According to a staff report that compared limiting future development to five storeys and allowing higher density, the higherdensity option would see about 2,100 housing units built in the town centre by 2030, while the lowerdensity option would mean

about 1,450 units.

According to the report, the higher-density option would also mean between $16.3 and $19.8 million more revenue for the district in one-time payments — including community amenity contributions and development cost charges — than the low-density plan, plus $1.4 million more per year in ongoing revenue.

Couns. Alan Nixon and Robin Hicks both called that a significant factor.

Several councillors

said adoption of the plan does not mean automatic approval for buildings of 12 storeys. Projects must still go through a rezoning and public hearing process, said Nixon.

The staff report originally suggested allowing a maximum height of 16 storeys — the height of Kiwanis Lynn Manor.

Council voted to cap that at 12 storeys, at the suggestion of Coun. Lisa Muri.

coming to North Vancouver to discuss the benefits of vitamin C Lauren Baron - Journalist

S

“It was not a good way to start the day,” Gifford-Jones said. “I damn near died.”

Though he says 99.9 per cent of doctors would disagree with taking vitamin C and lysine instead of cholesterol-lowering medication to fight cardiovascular disease, Gifford-Jones stands by the theory because he says he’s seen the results.

Following surgery, his doctor prescribed cholesterol-lowering medication as the only way to avoid future heart attacks and possible death.

But Gifford-Jones wasn’t convinced.

He, too, was skeptical until he met British doctor Sydney Bush, whose work indicates that vitamin C and lysine can reverse the damage done by cardiovascular disease.

His more than 37 years working as a medical journalist brought Gifford-Jones into contact with many controversial medical claims, including that of biochemist Dr. Linus Pauling, who believes that cardiovascular disease and heart attacks in particular are caused by a vitamin C deficiency.

“Looking down through history, doctors indeed have closed minds and new ideas are very difficult to get people to accept,” Gifford-Jones said. “I was skeptical, I thought it was too good to be true, but I hopped on a plane and went over to England, saw the before and after pictures and the proof was in the pictures.”

“Vitamin C is responsible for the manufacturing of collagen that holds cardiovascular cells together,” Gifford-Jones said. “Lysine makes the glue that holds those coronary cells together stronger.”

Gifford-Jones will take audience questions and explain the vitamin C theory during his free lecture in North Vancouver. Registration is not required, but seat reservations can be made by calling 604-363-6316.

itting at his desk penning a medical column a few years ago, Dr. W. Gifford-Jones had a heart attack.

It sounded like an interesting theory to Gifford-Jones at the time, but he didn’t take it seriously until after his heart attack.

“When it’s your life at stake, you give it a lot of thought,” Gifford-Jones said. “I thought I would take a risk and take vitamin C and lysine.”

Gifford-Jones will give a talk about fighting heart disease on Wednesday, October 16th, from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. in the Silver Harbour Centre.

Gifford-Jones is a graduate of the University of Toronto and Harvard Medical School. His weekly column is published in 70 Canadian newspapers and reaches six million readers.

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.

Cost of not housing H omelessness ActionWeek kicked off yesterday for the eighth time in Canada.

Locally, a task force of community organizations, governments and volunteers have organized a number of events (see page 3) to connect the homeless with resources and services.

Representatives from the task force have told all three North Shore councils that outreach workers believe the number of homeless on the North Shore has risen since a 2011 count identified 120 individuals.

They believe the number could be as high as 300 or more on any given day.

This week’s work is commendable, but the task force also exists to raise awareness with the public on the issue of homelessness and to start the conversation.

This is a goal the province should not only be embracing, but leading.The City of Vancouver is suggesting a task force on mental health and addictions. Given the

recent pressures on Victoria to consider reopening or recreating a version of the Riverview Hospital, one might expect the B.C. Liberals would be all over Vancouver’s proposal.

Those with mental health and addiction issues consume an out-of-proportion-totheir-numbers amount of funding and resources. If they are not cared for and supported, they will continue to do so.

The HOpe Centre will increase diagnostic and treatment services for the mentally ill on the North Shore. But it will not be a care facility. Meanwhile, the province has said it has no plans to reopen Riverview.What is clearly needed in Vancouver and possibly in North Vancouver are more supported living facilities to provide stable environments for those who need them.The Lookout Society argues that it costs $37,000 to house a homeless person, but $55,000 to leave them on the streets.

This is a conversation worth having.

Hurrah for common sense on council All praise to some West Vancouver councillors for a good night’s work Monday — stiffing a fool plan for Argyle Avenue, and elsewhere listening to Eden Place residents.

Victories for good sense (a career specialty for Bill Soprovich, which explains his years of poll-topping) and neighbourhood sensitivity. And perhaps a harbinger, literally and figuratively down the Argyle road, for squashing the hugely unpopular art gallery on the John Lawson Park parking lot.

Throw in Mayor Michael Smith’s tonguelashing of TransLink, and the good councillors earned their keep.

On a tie vote — Smith, Soprovich and Michael Lewis (hurrah!) opposed, and Nora Gambioli, Mary-Ann Booth and

Trevor Lautens

This Just In

Trish Panz (boo!) in favour — council turned down a wacky plan to divide Argyle “temporarily” into lanes for pedestrians, cyclists, motor vehicles and parallel (no longer angle) parking, which would lose crucially needed spaces, a disputed number running from 13 to 50.

Soprovich led the opposing charge, pointing out that with construction

CONTACTUS

of the Grosvenor complex at 13th and Marine and other Ambleside edifices in coming years, parking space will be even more needed than now.

Argyle works splendidly as it is. It’s a classic example of a solution looking for a bureaucratic problem. And bureaucrats Raymond Fung, director of engineering and transportation, and John McMahon, manager of roads and utilities, were there to make the case for the plan, while conceding it required “compromises.”

The cost would be “only” $88,000 and simply kick the can further down the road — “a waste of money,” as lone public gallery opponent Paul Hundal said — until that glorious day, perhaps, for former Green Party candidate Coun. Gambioli

or more radical types, when the automobile is wiped from the face of the earth and we live in a pure, 27-speed, Spandexclad, Birkenstock-shod, politically perfect Eden?

“I’d be really embarrassed to vote against this plan,” Coun. Gambioli moaned, demanding that the names of the six supporting groups be reread — mouthfuls of grey eminences, mostly fronts for cyclists, whose radical wheelmen have become so detested that even the High Priest of the Environment, David Suzuki, recently slammed their excesses and law-breaking.

Speaking of Eden, council paid close attention to several Eden Place homeowners — alerted to the issue only the previous Friday — whose peace and property values

would dive if the Milliken Development Corp.’s 110bed Maison seniors assisted living residence (old folks’ home) is built on Taylor Way at Keith Road. They got sympathetic ears.

Council unanimously sent this one back for more study and neighbourhood consultation. They clearly want to weigh this one carefully.

••• Roy Peterson was the Beethoven of editorial cartoonists. A genius in the trade.

No exaggeration. Roy’s technique was virtuoso.

He won a ton of honours including more National Newspapers Awards, seven, than any individual ever — this in the golden age of Canadian newspaper editorial cartoonists, the age of the Toronto Star’s

bone-crushing Duncan Macpherson and wittily tootling Sid Barron, and Roy’s colleague and friend at the Vancouver Sun, the hugely funny and popular Len Norris (who, I suspect, wasn’t the competitionentering type). Their successor, Graham Harrop, a gem of innocent, creepup-on-you originality, paid tribute to Roy in a cartoon last week.

Roy’s peers acknowledged him as world-class. In fact he topped a world salon of cartoonists in 1967.

He won the respect — adulation isn’t too far off — of competitors, notably Province cartoonist Bob Krieger, who was among a group led by colourful West Vancouverite Jack Lee that backed Roy for an Order See Peterson page 10

Courting ethnic votes a challenge

The sensitive and sometimes murky world of so-called “ethnic politics” continues to engulf both of B.C.’s major political parties.

It’s been that way for more than a couple of years now, ever since both parties found themselves plunged into leadership races that involved mass membership sign-ups in ethnic communities.

The B.C. Liberal government finds itself dogged by a controversy involving ethnic communities it thought had disappeared once and for all.The so-called “ethnic memo” controversy was big news before the May election.This involved government political staff making contacts in ethnic communities, compiling information such as membership lists etc. while on the taxpayer dime.

The RCMP is investigating the matter after NDP leader Adrian Dix went to the police with information that he says may indicate some aspects of the Election Act had been violated through these activities.

As someone who was part of a giant media groupthink that saw the ethnic memo scandal as being a much bigger deal than the voters ultimately considered it to be at election time, I’m reluctant to predict the RCMP investigation will lead to anything substantial.

Anything short of implicating an elected official in illegal activities as opposed to now-departed political staffers is unlikely to inflict much political damage on the B.C. Liberals. Still, no government likes to have the RCMP rummaging around its dirty laundry.

The whole thing is yet another reminder of just how beholden our two parties are to the interests

View from the Ledge

of ethnic communities, and how courting their votes has become of paramount importance to them.

In the last election campaign, for example, the B.C. Liberals strove to have a major presence in ChineseCanadian media through heavy advertising.That strategy appeared to pay off, as the party held at least two seats (Burnaby North and Vancouver-Fraserview) with a heavy Chinese-Canadian population it might otherwise have lost.

Meanwhile, the NDP is about to revisit the sensitivities wrapped around that party’s relationship with ethnic communities.The reform-minded Forward B.C. NDP faction wants to limit membership signups for the leadership race to 10 people a week per person, according to the Georgia Straight newspaper.

This would prevent what happened in the last leadership races for both parties.

At that time, candidates or their representatives went into places like Surrey, Delta and south Vancouver and engaged in mass signups in places like religious temples and churches. It can be argued that a relatively small geographic region dictated the outcome of both races, and that both Adrian Dix and Christy Clark owed their leadership victories to this practice. Candidates from

ARE YOU SUFFERING FROM

outside the Lower Mainland — notably John Horgan of the NDP and George Abbott of the B.C. Liberals — were penalized by the mass signups and were effectively frozen out of the selection process.

There will be a predictable push-back from various ethnic communities to Forward B.C. NDP’s proposal.They will argue that members of their communities should not be limited in their potential participation in a democratic process.

Perhaps it’s time for political parties to abandon the idea of giving every party member a vote in a leadership race and return to the days of convention delegates determining the winner of that race.

While membership signups can inject some interest (and money) into a party leadership race, so too can a leadership convention, which carries with it several days of high drama and often an exciting outcome.

A delegated convention would also ensure no particular region or community — ethnic or otherwise — has power disproportionate to its size when it comes to determining who the major political leaders are in this province.

Unfortunately, I don’t see much evidence that either the NDP or the B.C. Liberals want to go back to the days of electing delegates to a leadership convention.

This means the NDP faces an interesting dilemma: put the brakes on mass membership sign-ups, or allow a relatively small geographic region to play a dominant role in choosing the party’s next leader.

Both the B.C. Liberals and the NDP are about to be reminded that ethnic politics is never far away.

Slow: bike routes ahead GET in EARLY City may cut speed limits to 30 km/h

JULES KNOX newsroom@nsnews.com

City of North Vancouver council unanimously agreed Monday to give city staff the power to reduce speed limits on select bike routes.

Speed limits could be reduced to 30 kilometres per hour on local roads with bikeways and greenways and 40 km/h on collector roads, which are designed to handle more traffic. Arterial roads will not be affected.

Lowered speed limits will be determined on a caseby-case basis, and public consultation would be held if necessary.

The plan will also permit cycling on a sidewalk that is part of a bikeway or greenway where signage is posted.

Depending on the type of road, certain bike routes in the City of North Vancouver could see the speed limit lowered.

PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD

The bylaw changes also reflect the expansion of the Spirit Trail by allowing skateboarding and roller-skating in areas such as Carrie Cates Court, Chesterfield Place and Chadwick Court, where these activities were previously prohibited.

City council also received a report recommending that staff identify key north-south and east-west corridors

suitable for cyclists of all ages and abilities, known as AAA facilities, which could form the backbone of a future bicycle network.

AAA facilities are usually separated from traffic by physical barriers or protected by lower speed limits.They include off-street, bike-only paths, neighbourhood bikeways along quiet local roads, separated lanes and multi-

use paths.

Coun. Craig Keating said he believes there is an unmet demand for cycling facilities. “I certainly don’t think we should be founding our cycling infrastructure policy based upon the notion of how many people are recorded to have been cycling so far,” he said. “If the proper facilities weren’t there for cars, the number of cars driving would be lower than it is right now.”

Separated bike lanes present the safest option for both drivers and cyclists, he said. “If we produce things that are AAA, cyclists will come.”

Coun. Guy Heywood voiced concerns about possible impediments separated bike lanes pose to truck traffic, particularly travelling along Esplanade, but manager of transportation Dragana Mitic responded that traffic lanes will still be wide enough for trucks and buses.

Coun. Don Bell was absent from the meeting.

INQUIRING REPORTER This week, Hockey Canada unveiled the sweaters that our men’s, women’s and sledge hockey teams will wear when they hit the ice in Sochi for the 2014 Winter Olympics this February. Like every previous Team Canada jersey unveiling, there’s no shortage of reaction from armchair athletes and fashionistas. Making waves this year is the alternate black jersey, which may not look terribly Canadian at first glance, but it has a certain appeal among fans on the North Shore. What do you think? Take our web poll at nsnews.com.

— Brent Richter

Wes Hooper North Vancouver “It’s a cool throwback. If they win the gold, they can wear whatever they want.”

What do you think of the new Team Canada hockey sweaters?

Carl Hicks Salt Spring Island “I like them. I like the black one. It makes us looker meaner.”

Garth Gendron New Westminster “I like the black one.

Black is the killer. It’ll scare the other teams.”

Marius Nechita North Vancouver “It’s OK. I don’t like the black. It’s too much dark.”

Mary-Lew Marcoux North Vancouver “It is a bit plain. I do like the black.”

Peterson was a genius and a class act From page 6 of British Columbia. That failed — ironic, since Roy already had an Order of Canada.

He was not only a selfless mentor but spurred demands for proper recognition and pay for his peers, illustrated by a splendid anecdote by Pete McMartin and John Mackie in a full-page Sun tribute last week.

He was a class act.

His quiet manner and understated wit — he was amused by the shameless self-promotion of a profoundly-inferior eastern cartoonist — cloaked a steely core.Wife Margaret handled the business end of the enterprise. No team could be more devoted.

Their children Laurie, Gillian, Lisa, Karen and Geoff were, in our other language, models of

bien élevé, well-raised.

Margaret’s death was devastating.

McMartin and Mackie have the clout to be truth-sayers, and they state Roy’s departure from the Sun in 2009, in a cost-cutting move — “no reason to sugar-coat this” — embittered him. It did.

Roy had earlier reversals.

A new editorial-page design painfully shrank the size of his cartoon, and the paper’s

Bears in feeding frenzy

Residents asked to police attractants so bears will den BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

If you haven’t already done so, now’s the time to make sure your home and yard are free of anything that may tempt bears looking to fatten up before a long winter’s nap.

This time of year, black bears are trying to take in about 20,000 calories per day to last them through hibernation, which typically starts at the end of October, according to Tony Webb, chairman of the North Shore Black Bear Society Attractants like fallen fruit from trees, bird feeders and garbage should be kept well out of reach or, even better, nose-shot of bears.

“Of course, a bear can smell a bird feeder from

blocks away,” Webb said.

“Never underestimate the climbing ability and the ingenuity of a bear.”

The main attractant is, as per usual, neglected garbage, Webb said. Unlike fruit, which will rot and biodegrade, garbage is left outside in steady supplyyear round, which can alter a bear’s instinctive behaviour.

“A bear will not go into hibernation if there’s food available. It will go into semi-hibernation, which is not good,” Webb said.

Once bears become habituated to human food, they are usually destroyed, Webb said.

Generally residents in bear-dense neighbourhoods have been getting the message, Webb said. Only one bear has been killed on the North Shore so far in 2013,

Kay Meek Centre’s in-house production company, TheatreK, kicks off its 2013/14 season by inviting audiences inside the bedroom of two lonely middle-aged New Yorkers.

Frankie & Johnny in the Clair de Lune by playwright

OIL SANDS KARAOKE PAGE 16

●

Terrence McNally will be staged in the centre’s intimate 148-seat studio theatre. The two-character show tells the very unHollywood love story of Frankie (played by Caroline Cave), a waitress at a greasy-spoon diner, and Johnny (played by Frank Cassini), a shortorder cook. As the curtain rises, the pair is discovered in bed after having just met several weeks ago on the job. Frankie, figuring this encounter is no more than a one-night stand, is hopeful Johnny will get dressed and leave. But Johnny, the more romantic of the two, is convinced he’s in love.

“The audience sort of blends into the set, like, they’re right on top of

us and our job is to take them on this ride in a way that they can keep up with the characters’ twists and turns,” explains Cave, a West Vancouver resident.

The Gemini-Awardwinning actress has dozens of stage, film and TV credits under her belt, but admits Frankie is one of the most challenging roles she’s ever played.

“The actor has to really expose herself in every way in order to play what’s asked of by the playwright,” Cave says, explaining she bares herself both physically and emotionally for the part.

“The playwright begs of the actors that they go certain places that are not easy to go.”

Originally from a blue-

collar Pennsylvania town, Frankie lives in a walk-up apartment in the Hell’s Kitchen neighbourhood of Manhattan. It’s the late ‘80s and the onceaspiring actress has had more than her share of disappointments — romantic and otherwise — leaving her fragile and self-protective.

“She’s extremely complex, she’s funny, but she’s not educated, so there’s an insecurity around her intellect which I find an interesting challenge,” Cave says.

The entire play takes place inside her apartment and, through poignant dialogue, passionate outbursts and bittersweet humour, explores themes of love, fate, luck and

●

intention.

“The play for me is a lot about being brave of heart,” Cave says, recalling a time, four years ago, when she made an emotional leap of faith in her own life.

She went on a first date with her would-be husband in the summer of 2009. But this was not actually their first encounter. Both had attended West Vancouver secondary school years earlier, but he graduated ahead of her and the future spouses were simply “ships passing,” Cave says.

“I knew his younger brother but I didn’t really know him, and then we were set up on a somewhat blind date by our mothers.”

Doc sings praises of oil sands nightlife

QA

the film fest this week when you go and watch a drama everything that’s on the screen has been created by one or two or three people and you just watch it as such but when you go see a documentary you kind of apportion the blame — because it’s real, you’re looking at real people. You don’t say that director’s stupid or that writer’s stupid you tend to focus on the people themselves and I’m personally more comfortable with that. I’m not interested in being famous I’m just interested in people.

North Shore News: You’ve done both dramatic features and documentary filmmaking — what’s the difference in the two

approaches for you?

CharlesWilkinson: That’s a good question and a complex one. Drama was

the direction everybody said the industry was going towards and documentary was dead. I started out

making documentaries but it was so hard to get anything financed whereas with drama it was relatively easy

which is kind of the opposite case now or at least it’s levelled out a bit.

I noticed watching at

North Shore News: What drew you to the Oil Patch in Fort McMurray?

CharlesWilkinson: On our last film, Peace Out, we ended up in the Oil Patch as it was about resource extraction in the Peace River corridor and of course the Peace River flows north and goes into the same watershed as the Oil Sands so that’s where we ended up.

Bailey’s Pub hosts karaoke nights in Fort McMurray From page 14 North Shore News: How did you find Bailey’s Pub and the people you profiled?

CharlesWilkinson: By accident. Bailey’s Pub was the only place we found in Fort Mac at the time that ran karaoke regularly.

I connected with the bar manager and he was the coolest guy. He bent over backwards to help us get started so when we got up there we went to one karaoke night after another. It’s a little like shopping I guess.

You look for people who really sing well and who really enjoy themselves on stage and are not just up there on a drunken dare.

You talk to them and find out who has a story that sort of represents the place well.We rejected anybody who didn’t work in the Oil Patch because we wanted it to be about that. Gradually we gathered people together and were extremely lucky to find talented and interesting people to work with.

CharlesWilkinson: Go figure. Brandy’s just a tiny little girl and she drives the biggest truck ever known to man. She drives a truck with a load larger than a loaded 747. I worked out the truck could carry the equivalent of 300,000 cans of beer. It’s crazy she just gets in there and drives away.

North Shore News: When did you shoot the film?

CharlesWilkinson:

We were up there most of last summer and last fall and we’ve been back quite a few times.

North Shore News: What was the filming like?

environment where there is a lot of alcohol involved you want to pay attention — and we’re small we’re a two-to three-person crew and there we are with all this complex equipment.We don’t want to get it smashed. And all the rights stuff — asking everybody if they didn’t mind being filmed that was complicated and a little bit nerve-wracking but also a lot of fun obviously.When you see the film you can see it’s a lot of fun.The out and about stuff — people in Fort

McMurray or any resource town for that matter tend to be pretty suspicious of anyone with a camera.They expect they are there to do a hatchet job that media frequently does on oil and gas. It took a long time for us to overcome that.

North Shore News: How do you overcome the suspicions?

CharlesWilkinson: By being straight and honest and by showing that you are there for the long term and you’re not just there to take cheap shots because

the typical media experience there is a team will go up for two or three days usually following some kind of celebrity and they’ll do all the usual shots.They will go out at night and try and shoot somebody who looks like a prostitute or a drug dealer and then they’ll go out and fly over the mines, pick the worst one and film that and then cobble it together.We didn’t do that.

We were there for months and we told people as clearly as we could that that wasn’t what we were after.We were after something a little less

superficial. And they could tell by our questions — we didn’t go in there asking, “Well how do you feel about destroying the planet?”We were much more interested in the personal side, the social side rather than the political side and I think that became clear after about a month of filming.

North Shore News: Bailey’s is an escape from the reality and loneliness of Fort Mac with karaoke as the glue that holds everything together? What was involved in using the 24 songs we

hear in Oil Sands Karaoke?

CharlesWilkinson: That’s incredibly complex.

It would be a waste of time filming them singing stuff that you can’t get.We had music co-ordinator in Toronto Michael Perlmutter, who’s nothing short of a genius and he was working with Universal Canada and he made a package deal so we didn’t have to negotiate with each individual songwriter and/or publisher.

We were constantly updating lists of the songs that we could have. I would call Michael and say one of

our guys loves singing “A Little Less Talk and a Lot More Action” can we get that and he would go, “Oh I don’t know man.” He would come back and say, “We got it.” It was like a treasure hunt. One of my biggest disappointments was Brandy’s best song — Alicia Keys’ “Fallin.” She nailed it out of the park and it was amazing but we couldn’t get it. It’s not repped by Universal. For us to get the full rights to use 24 hit songs was nothing short of a miracle and it makes the movie so entertaining. Can you imagine how lame a karaoke movie would be if there was a bunch of songs nobody had ever heard of?

North Shore News: Karaoke and Fort Mac make a strange mix — how did the screening go there?

Charles Wilkinson: It went incredibly well.

We got a standing ovation.

They had a karaoke contest and Q&A after and people kept coming up to us and saying how happy they were somebody made a movie that wasn’t just a hatchet job.They saw we were critical and trying to understand how they got there, how they do what they do and how they feel about what they do.

North Shore News: Oil Sands Karaoke is the second film in a proposed trilogy — can you tell us something about the concept?

CharlesWilkinson: The first one was Peace Out and it was basically asking the question “Are we ripping up our natural world for energy?” and the answer was “Yes.” And this second film is a film that works within a context the context is that everyone who doesn’t have their head under a rock knows about the Oil Sands and will have a strong opinion about it one way or the other but the real question is “Given how perilous a situation we seem to be in we seem to be frozen? How come we can’t do anything about saving the world?”The answer in Oil Sands karaoke is we’re all concerned about saving our own worlds.That’s what we focus on rather than saving The World.The third film is going to be a positive one — it’s how we can deal with this stuff in a reasonable and happy and productive way so that our lives get better.

Why do we need probiotics in addition to yogurt?

The term‘probiotic’ means supporting life.Probiotics are friendly,beneficial bacteria.These bacteria (as well as others) are normal inhabitants of the large and small intestines and are a very important part of a healthy digestive system.There are over 500 types of bacteria in the digestive system;the two most prevalent are Lactobacilli and Bifidobacterium.Bifidobacterium are the most prevalent bacteria in the large intestine and Lactobacilli are the most prevalent in the small intestine.

The good bacteria balance gets disrupted by stress, undigested food, eating processed/GMO food and so on. Nowadays yogurt is a very good source of probiotics; however, we might be sensitive to dairy products without knowing or the number of good bacteria that we need to balance the intestinal environment is not enough.Therefore, the amount that we get daily is important.

Ultimate Flora Critical Care and Ultimate Flora Ultra Potent contain therapeutic levels of both good bacteria to help with chronic intestinal ailments in both the large and small intestine, such as I.B.S., Crohn’s, and Colitis; candida overgrowth, healthy immune function and regularity in cases of chronic constipation.

Gravity pulls us into deep trouble JULIE CRAWFORD ContributingWriter

Congratulations, Sandra Bullock, for setting space exploration back a few decades.

Sandra Bullock plays biomedical engineer Dr. Ryan Stone on her first space shuttle mission, accompanied by veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski (George Clooney), in Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity. Use Layar app to view trailer and showtimes.

One settlement folks after seeing trailers of Bullock freefalling into space and hyperventilating in her space suit? Not even the promise of spending a little cramped one-on-one time with George Clooney could coerce me to get into a spaceship now.

In Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity, Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a medical engineer on her first space mission who is partnered with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (Clooney).

Disaster strikes: when Bullock’s character flies out even of the reach of the mighty Canada-arm, you know she’s in deep trouble.

The pair is left completely alone, floating in the darkness of space.

Space movies rarely have happy endings.There are natural disasters up there just waiting for a flimsy little ship to enter into orbit, things like meteor showers,

asteroids, black holes and solar flares.

Then there’s the isolation and the cabin fever; the craziness brought on by too much Tang. (Things are further compounded when your co-pilot brings his guitar and starts singing David Bowie hits.)

My math scores put the early kibosh on any dreams I had of space travel, but the terror inspired by these films sealed the deal. Let those 200,000 other schmucks blast off to Mars; in 2023 I plan to be right here on terra firma.

The Royal Crescent, a street of 30 terraced houses designed by the architect John Wood the Younger, was built between 1767 and 1774 in Bath, Somerset, England. PHOTO SUPPLIED ANDREW RENTON

Bathe in the richness of Bath’s Georgian splendour Ancient Roman spa, Aquae Sulis, came into its own during 18th century ANDREW RENTON ContributingWriter

Dropping into the Avon Valley, Bath unfolds like a Georgian movie set.

Could that be a rustle of crinoline? Perhaps a lady hiking up her tresses to step daintily into a waiting horse-drawn carriage — off to another social gathering? Bath can play tricks with your mind.

Terraced houses, built of honey-coloured limestone, surround grassy squares and circles, neatly connected by broad treed avenues.

Row upon row of chimney pots crowd roof ridges, each attached to a fireplace once attended by a bevy of scurrying maids. Apart from the River Avon which carves the city in half, nothing spoils the geometric pattern.

In 1987 the entire city became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Only Venice shares the same honour.

The Romans came first in around AD 60.They built baths to capture the million

litres of hot water that spout daily from the ground.

Edgar was crowned King of the English at Bath Abbey nine hundred years later.

For a while merchants grew rich from the cloth trade, harnessing the river’s power to drive their mills.

The fun stuff began in Georgian times. Ralph Allen, a wealthy quarry owner, had both the stone and the cash and to get things started. Architect

John Wood produced the design. Beau Nash, a penniless gambler and entrepreneur used his snake-oil charm to push the curative powers of the waters with promises such as: “Get rid of your rheumatism, palsies, convulsions, lameness, colic, consumption, asthma, jaundice, scurvy, the itch, scab, leprosy, scrofula, gravel as well as coldness and pain in the head, epilepsies, most diseases of the eyes, deafness and noise in the ears, running of the ears, palpitation of the heart, sharpness of urine, wounds, ulcers, piles, numbness in any part, and all the special diseases of women,

including infertility.”

The threesome were a winning combination. Bath soon became a fashionable place to “do” the season.

Suitable accommodation was needed to house aristocratic visitors and their entourage of servants.

John Wood theYounger completed his father’s work on The Circus (a full circle of townhouses) in 1760 and designed the Royal Crescent with 30 magnificent fivestorey townhouses (they now run a cool 3 Million Pounds) in 1774.

The Pump Room opened

with much fanfare in 1706 — much to the delight of ladies who discovered that hot baths wreaked havoc

with a well-coiffed hairdo.

Life took on a strict routine.

Days began with a visit to the Pump Room to take the

regulation three glasses of water and of course “to see and be seen.” Church was attended at mid-day, dinner

Taking the water is still a ritual.The elegant Pump Room offers glasses of the stuff to wash down expensive clotted cream teas accompanied by the Pump Room Trio. But book ahead it’s popular.

In 1801, Jane Austen and her family moved to a sociably acceptable house at 4 Sydney Street before the death of her father.

Lack of cash eventually drove them to the lower ranked 25 Gay Street, a busy spot filled with carriages and sedan chairs for hire. Neither she nor her sister married. Perhaps their new digs were too downmarket to attract the right type of chap?

Today, just 160 kilometres from London, Bath is a bustling city of 83,000, including 14,000 students who keep the nightlife and coffee bars hopping. Stars such as Johnny Depp and Nicolas Cage call this place home.

There is a lot to do. Hopon-Hop-off buses. A Jane Austen tour.The excellent museum at 1 the Royal Crescent gives an insight into Georgian aristocratic life.There is even a free twohour walking tour beginning at The Abbey. Of course a visit to The Roman Baths tops the list. And if you are feeling energetic, try walking or biking the 14 kilometre towpath along the historic Kennet and Avon Canal to historic Bradford-onAvon, stopping for a pub lunch along the way — it’s flat and worth the effort.

Feeling lazy? Rent a boat and meander through the unspoilt countryside in style.

If you’re bored with being a tourist just hang over the wall above the River Avon.Take in the Pultney Bridge, one of only 4 in the world with shops built into the span. Admire colourful barges moored by the horseshoe-shaped weir and dream of days gone by!

If you want to be really pampered, spend a night or two at the Royal Crescent Hotel.There’s no sign but the doorman standing outside 15 is a dead giveaway. Rates run from $300 to $1,250 which includes breakfast.

If you go: Bath is at the Southerly point of The Cotswolds and a great place to start exploring this famous part of Britain.

MUSIC

Madchild pushes for a positive vibe

New album full of a raw energy NICHOLAS M. PESCOD ContributingWriter

Shane Bunting was driving from Vernon to Kelowna to purchase $7,000 worth of OxyContin when he had an epiphany.

“I was 55 pounds overweight, my lips were purple, and my left arm was numb. I had a panic attack driving by myself and I looked in the mirror and I was crying,” Bunting says. “I knew that if I didn’t change I was going to die.”

Bunting, also known as Madchild from the four-time Juno Award winning hip-hop group Swollen Members, was in the middle of a brutal drug addiction that nearly cost him everything.

“I talked to my family and I cried.They stepped in and saved my life,” he says.

Madchild’s Lawn Mower Man is out now on Suburban Noize Records. PHOTO SUPPLIED LOUIS KWOK “I wanted life and success and happiness. My family was more important than the

demon that had gotten ahold of me.”

Bunting’s addiction

began sometime in 2006 with Percocets, and then eventually grew to

OxyContin. At one point he says he began to experiment with cocaine.

The former Carson Graham and Sutherland high school student has been drug free since 2010 and says he has no one to blame but himself for his addiction.

“I’ve been drug free now for three years. I can’t blame who I was hanging around with on my drug addiction.

I made my own choices,” Bunting says.

In August Bunting performed in Vancouver at the Fortune Sound Club.

As the first stop on a lengthy North American tour promoting his new album, Lawn Mower Man. He says the new album has more of a home studio recording feel to it.

“You’ll hear a real vibrant energy, and I’m very excited.

It has a lot of raw energy to it. I actually only mastered the album. I was mixing the songs and I didn’t like the way the mixes were coming out so I put it out mostly in demo form because I’d gotten used to the way the songs sounded and enjoyed that sound,” he says.

MUSIC

Early success took its toll on rapper

From page 31

“You know when artists put out their first records and they do them in the basement. It has that kind of rawness to it. I felt like it was the right move and I am real happy I put it out that way.”

Bunting explains that in his newest album he does not cram as many words into each line. Something he has done in previous albums.

“For me it’s progression.

Learning how to let the song breathe a little more and I came with a bit more of an aggressive approach,” he says. “To be honest with you I was a little nervous because it is definitely me and it is definitely who I am like Dope Sick, but there is a bit of step forward.”

Before Bunting became a member of Swollen Members he started off as a solo artist competing in underground hip-hop contests. At the age of 20, he relocated to San Francisco to further explore the hip-hop scene where he worked various jobs to make ends meet, but was often homeless.

After returning to British Columbia in the mid-90s, Bunting along with Moka Only and Prevail formed Swollen Members. Between 2001 and 2004, the group received four Juno Awards, three Western Canadian Music Awards, multiple MuchMusic Video Awards, and various other honours.

“It was exciting and it was a lot of fun, but it was overwhelming. I was quite young and I don’t think I handled the situation properly,” Bunting says about the early success. “It all happened pretty quickly. I didn’t have a role model that is sort of at the place that I am at now in life.”

During the height of Swollen Members’ success Bunting made some poor decisions.

“I was misguided when I was younger in terms of things that I thought were cool, movies that I watched and music that I listened to and people that I surrounded myself with. I made bad lifestyle choices,” he says. “I may have left a bad taste in some people’s mouths. Maybe I was a little cocky and maybe I was a little bit of an a#!**@ to be honest.”

When Bunting began taking painkillers in 2006, Swollen Members had already claimed three of

their four Juno Awards and had become a household name in the Canadian music scene. At the time, there was limited public awareness about how addictive drugs such as Percocet and OxyContin were. He says if he had known just how dangerous the drugs were he would not have even considered taking them.

“The thing that I got addicted to is the thing that anybody could have gotten addicted to if they did it for too long. I just thought it was something that doctors prescribed and it just happened to be fun to take. It seemed harmless,” Bunting says. “It wasn’t until a year later when someone

told me that it was synthetic heroin and that’s when I tried to quit and experienced the first five days of being dope sick — which is the most horrible excruciating terrible feeling.You can’t fathom how horrible it is.”

After three years of inactivity, Swollen Members managed to put out an album in 2009 called Armed to the Teeth.That same year Bunting also released the Mad Child EP. “I absolutely feel guilty for putting Swollen Members on hold, but I am not going to take responsibility for putting everybody’s life on hold,” Bunting says.

Shortly after Bunting’s

epiphany, he began getting the help he needed. His addiction nearly cost him his life and took a massive toll on him financially.

“I spent half a million dollars on just drugs alone, but I lost over three million dollars because of not paying attention to my investments and my money,” he says.

Last year Purdue Pharmaceuticals, the makers of OxyContin, announced that they would replace the drug with a similar product called OxyNEO, which is designed to be harder to crush. Shortly after the announcement British Columbia, along with a handful of other provinces, decided to stop public

funding for either drug, except in special cases.

In recent years, Bunting has become very outspoken about his addiction, recovery and rising awareness about the dangers of drugs. He says it is important for people of all ages to be aware of what they’re doing.

“Think of the environment that you’re putting yourself in because the options that come across your table are going to vary depending on the people you choose to hang around. If you choose to hang around somebody who carries a gun all the time then there is a good chance you might start carrying a gun, or something bad might happen when

you’re with that friend and end up in jail,” he says.

“Why focus on hanging out with a bunch of people who are just trapped in negativity when you can do so many positive things,” he adds.

Bunting’s positive lifestyle changes have not only had an impact on fans and total strangers but also his family.

His younger brother began rapping about eight months ago.

“He’s getting so good so fast.The fact that he wants to do the same thing that I am doing is because I am living a more positive lifestyle,” Bunting says. “I am so proud of him.That’s probably the biggest reward.”

Lissie Back to Forever Singer/songwriter returns with tougher edge on tunes

NICHOLAS M. PESCOD ContributingWriter

One week before Lenny Kravitz was about to embark on his Love Revolution tour in 2008 Lissie Maurus was asked to join him as his opening act.

“I was working with a guy who was managing Lenny at the time,” Maurus, known by her stage name Lissie, says.

“Lenny was wanting to do a small theatre tour.The guy I was working with showed him my MySpace page.”

Kravitz liked what he heard from the Illinois folk/ rock singer and Lissie soon found herself performing in front of sold-out crowds in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Boston and New York.

“It was the best thing for me to see how it all works. How touring works, how hard they work and how grueling it is to sing every night,” Lissie says. “It was a good lesson for me to observe them on tour.

He was really friendly and

lovely to me.”

Lissie releases her new album, Back to Forever on Columbia Records on Oct. 8.

“It took me about a year and a half to write and record, after releasing and touring the first album,” Lissie says. “I think people who liked Catching a Tiger will recognize that Back To Forever is in the same musical world, but I think Back to Forever is a little bit tougher and the song writing is a bit more detailed.”

“I am really excited for people to hear it. It’s more rock/pop and less folk in there as I think people are expecting, so I hope it doesn’t freak them out,” Lissie adds.

The Rock Island, IL, native began singing when she was five-years-old and at nine she played the title role in the musical Annie.

“I wasn’t into acting as much,” she says. “I just really liked to sing for people. In junior high I learned to play the guitar but I didn’t get serious about it until I was 15,” Lissie says. “At 15 I started to write songs and teach myself guitar chords.”

Growing up, Lissie listened to various genres and appreciated music by artists such as Courtney Love, Celine Dion, Alanis Morissette, Sarah McLaughlin, Janis Joplin and Sheryl Crow.

The power suit returns

Mattie à la Mode

Dear Mattie: Is the suit in fashion?

Seeking New Office Fashions in Seymour

THINK PINK Attention: Fans of Clinique’s Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion — stock up this month and $10 of the $47 purchase price will go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Bonus: this limitededition DDM Lotion+ is adorned with a cute Clinique key ring with pink ribbon charms.

Online and at Clinique counters (Hudson’s Bay, Sears and Holt Renfrew) and Shoppers Drug Mart.

Dear Seymour: The power suit is in fashion this season.There is a sense of drama.The trend is mature and subdued.The look is professional without being over the top with fashion details. Accessories are strictly understated.

The suit is simple and tailored, but not fitted.The silhouette is rounded at the shoulders and hips.The waist is nipped in, usually with a skinny belt. It is not an angular, edgy shape.

There are two ways to wear a suit. One is the matching blazer with skirt or pant and the other is mix and matching your pieces.

Both are in fashion as long as tops and bottoms co-ordinate.The suit pieces should not contrast.

A matching suit means both the top and bottom are the same colour and/or pattern.The colours that are in fashion are dark, like black, grey, navy, green, and red.The patterns that are most in fashion are tweeds, houndstooth, plaids, pinstripe and Prince of Wales checks.There is room in these patterns for some personal expression as I have seen colour within the patterns.

Pair a classic white blouse with your suit, or inject a colour.The shape of the blouse is fitted yet relaxed.

It should fit under a blazer without bunching.

The blazer is cut in a way that it is nipped at the waist.

Also, when you button the blazer, it will enhance this silhouette.The buttons may also be significant as they will be slightly larger and have styling.The blazer is shorter, in that it ends at your hip.This is not a boxy look.

There are some straightcut blazers that are slightly longer; these are worn with a dress, much like a coat.

This dress takes on the same colour and pattern properties as the suit. It is a simple, narrow cut. I have seen this look with contrast — where the dress has a coloured pattern and the blazer is plain, or vice versa.There is room for expression.

I really like the style and cut of pants this season.

Pants have a higher waist.

You may even find some pleats to create a rounder hip.The leg is tailored; it is either straight or narrows to the ankle.Your shoes are on display, so make sure they are polished.

The most popular skirt this season is the pencil skirt, which falls into this tailored silhouette.The other skirt is the full skirt with a waistband.This skirt is great when you don’t want to wear a blazer and a professionallooking blouse is all you need.The blouse must be tucked in. Both skirt styles are knee-length; this is not a mini look.

Accessories should be minimal.This relates to the amount of jewelry worn and the size of each piece. Save the larger, bolder pieces for evening. Also, shoes should match your belt. Your handbag can be a personal statement.

The power suit this season is wearable and chic.There are classic, clean lines that

Hydrating lip balm is essential for fall Beauty Spot CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

Both products come in convenient wind-up tubes, but that’s where the similarities stop.

The Baby Lips package advertises the inclusion of shea butter and vitamin E, though on the back of the box there is also a long list of unpronounceable ingredients.

Live Clean (Lovely Lips) looks more like a traditional balm. It goes on thick, feels instantly hydrating and has a mild, natural scent. There is no pigment, but the practical product does

come in three formulas: soothing, protecting and moisturizing.

All are USDA Organic Certified and made with organic ingredients such as jojoba oil and rosemary extract.

VISIT THE FARM THIS WEEKEND

OCEANFRONT AND OCEANVIEW COTTAGE HOMES FROM THE HIGH $300’S* Located a mere 35 kilometres from downtown Vancouver, The Cottages at Seabright Farm in Point Roberts, Washington promises to become one of the most creative and valuedriven recreational neighbourhoods in the Lower Mainland. Seabright Farm is a planned cottage community that will integrate smoothly into the Point Roberts experience. In the words of the project’s renowned designer and visionary, Cal Srigley: “It won’t look really planned at all.”

THE COTTAGES AT SEABRIGHT: A DESIGN PHILOSPHY

Srigley explains the vision for Seabright Farm: “Historically, Point Roberts was a farming community with many of the simple, well-proportioned and practical structures common throughout the northwest. Farm buildings were constructed of wood and stone and nestled in groups into the landscape.”

“You’ll be able to take a short walk from your cottage to pick organically grown vegetables, berries, fruit, and herbs. And there will t n bt p vt ut mpo vvm m to your cheerful cottage.”

“I am going to bring gardening to my neighbours through example and proximity. We will build an ongoing educational process v ut r v e wt r ot t \t \mcm p on the Seabright Farm.” It will all happen around the community barn and greenhouse, where neighbours can meet to learn about gardening, and teach their kids about ot m wt r \ w \\_ p b vewt} e w t ot vmut t wt t btt bo comes from California and what comes from your own backyard”, says George”. “Taste a carrot or some peas grown here and it is like tasting candy.” George will even help you create your own home garden on your 12,500+ square foot Seabright homesite!

In contract, homesites in the light-drenched Meadows area provide an optimum mix of privacy and sunny enhanced views, with cottages situated to take advantage of the natural incline in the farm’s topography. That, along with broad view corridors between homes, means wide-open views under brilliant blue skies.

Later, as Point Roberts became a vacation destination for Vancouverites, summer cottages were added to the area’s cultural hallmarks. “The cottages were built for simple pleasures and w e \ e v \mcm p} ] t m t w \ e re\ v bom mw \j ot t o t tw t ot eu r fond memories and have been passed on as family legacies.”

Songs take on a life of their own From page 33

“There were all these women who played guitars and were outspoken and wrote great songs and their looks weren’t overly girly or sexualized. I think that really inspired me,” she says.

Lissie attended Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO, for two years. “When I went there it was the first time I was ever part of a music scene,” she says. “It gave me an opportunity to grow even more into what that live scene was all about. In high school I didn’t really know anyone that was in a band and we didn’t have that kind of culture. I got that culture in Colorado but I knew before then that I was going pursue music as a living. I was just waiting to figure out how it was going to happen.”

In 2004, she collaborated with DJ Harry on a single “All My Life” which was eventually featured in episodes of The O.C., House,Veronica Mars,Wildfire and the documentary, Who Killed The Electric Car. “It feels really good and it’s validating and it’s also just cool to be part of a bigger narrative,” Lissie says.

Lissie’s other songs have been featured in episodes of Melrose Place, Grey’s Anatomy, SoYou Think You Can Dance, Basketball Wives, One Tree Hill, and Californication.

“I don’t really write songs knowing where they will be placed but it is fun to see how my songs take on a new life when they’re paired with a TV spot,” she says.

Lissie moved to Los Angeles in 2007 and released her first EP on Lionboy Records.

“I started out as a solo singer/songwriter who was writing folk music as well as pop music,” she says. “As I’ve played with different artists and worked with different producers it has given me different platforms to explore.”

In 2008, she co-wrote The Longest Road with DJ Morgan Page. The song reached number four on Billboard’s Hot Dance Club song chart.

Later this month, Lissie will be performing in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany, Switzerland and the U.K. to support Back to Forever.

“I’m excited. We’ve been doing a lot since May,” she says. “After taking some time off to make the record it’s going to be really fun to get back out on the road again. My band and I live for the hour and half that we are on stage. That’s what all the travelling and early mornings is all about it.”

In late November Lissie starts the North American portion of her tour with a performance on her birthday in Toronto. She plays Seattle on Dec. 5 but so far has nothing booked in B.C. “I wish I was coming to Vancouver,” she says. “My sister lived there for a few years and we’ve been there and I think we will come there in the new year.”

Lissie says that when she first started touring adjusting to time zones was very difficult for her.

“When I first started doing it, it was really hard,” she explains. “I would be crying at six in the morning because I was so tired.

There is something so bizarre about jetlag because it can not only make you tired but it can also make you emotionally tired.”

Over the years, she has learned to adapt to different time zones overseas.

“You can’t take a nap,” Lissie says. “If you get into Europe in the morning, you cannot take a nap regardless of how tired you are.You have to stay awake until about midnight and then you’re so tired that you sleep. If you take a nap on that first day you’re going to be screwed for like a week and a half.”

Whistler fest listens to its audience New reading events added for this year thanks to feedback from participants

NEVILLE JUDD ContributingWriter

Renewal will be in the air Oct. 18-20, when the 12th annual Whistler Readers and Writers Festival rolls into the mountain resort.

“We heard from a lot of people that they felt renewed after last year’s festival,” says Stella Harvey, festival organizer and founder of the Whistler Writers Group, otherwise known as The Vicious Circle. “There are new elements to this year’s festival, based — as always — on feedback from participants.”

This year that means three new reading events comprising poets, crime and mystery writers, and a main-stage reading featuring Giller prizewinning author Will Ferguson in conversation with best-selling author Jian Ghomeshi. Ghomeshi, a CBC Radio favourite, also hosts a Sunday brunch discussion with awardwinning authors Lisa Moore, Richard Wagamese, Jane Silcott, Meg Tilly, Genni Gunn and Whistler’s own Sue Oakey-Baker.

“We’re always growing

to meet the needs of our audience and we have a mix of seasoned writers and new, emerging writers in poetry and crime and mystery,” says Harvey. Saturday afternoon’s Crimes of Fiction event will feature authors William Deverell,William Spano, E.R. Brown and Ian Hamilton.

Also Saturday afternoon is Comes a Time: Past, Present and Future, a poetry reading and panel discussion with Evelyn Lau, Elizabeth Bachinski, Michael Crummey and Rona Shaffran.

The festival is on course for record ticket sales of 400-plus this year, according to Harvey.

Participants can look forward to a familiar mix of intimate fireside chats, readings, workshops and panel discussions. “Intimacy is a great strength of the festival, judging by feedback from guests and authors,” says Harvey, who hosted the first festival in her living room with 20 people!

The Vicious Circle has since grown to about 150 members.

The Fairmont Chateau Whistler will again be the venue for most of

Patrick deWitt and Janet Love Morrison are among the authors featured in the 12th annual Whistler Readers and Writers Festival taking place Oct. 18-20. PHOTOS SUPPLIED the festival, including an opening night jazz and books gala, hosted by local writer, Stephen Vogler.

In space no one can hear you scream From page 20

American Film Institute named HAL the 13th Greatest Villain of all time on their list of 100. HAL keeps the systems running on board the space craft, but he can also lip-read: so when he knows his days are numbered he sabotages the ship and sacrifices the lives of the crew members left on board, but not before they see monkeys and giant monoliths. Part of the scariness is the fact that no one seemed to know what the heck it all meant.

Alien In space no one can hear you scream: doesn’t that say it all? In Ridley Scott’s benchmark sci-fi horror film, kick-butt heroine (Sigourney Weaver as Ripley) answers a distress call from an isolated planet, leaves, and

soon finds a nasty stowaway onboard. And the superb John Hurt helped spawn the most oft-repeated grossout Halloween costume in history: baby alien emerging from a bloody chest cavity.

The eponymous alien is number 14 on AFI’s list.

The Black Hole I was terrified of black holes for years after seeing this Disney film in the ’70s.

A research crew is sent in to investigate the appearance of a missing ship right on the edge of a black hole. Robots B.O.B. and V.I.N.CENT were way cuter than HAL and I’m pretty sure you can see a string holding up a prop in one scene. Come to think of it, the only scary thing about the film may have been the funky jumpsuits worn by Anthony Perkins, Ernest Borgnine, Yvette Mimieux and

Maximilian Schell.

Event Horizon Paul W.S. Anderson brings us this tale of a ship that resurfaces in the year 2047, seven years after it went missing. A rescue ship captained by Laurence Fishburne is sent in to investigate, unaware that creepy Capt.Weir (Sam Neill) is withholding the truth, that a presence onboard the ship will mess with everyone’s minds in a big way. A B-movie bloodbath ensues.

Moon Sam Rockwell’s time as an astronaut miner on the moon is almost up, and he appears to be cracking up, having only had a computer to talk to for the past three years. But the closer he gets to the reunion date with his wife and daughter back on

Earth, he begins to realize that the company he works for may have different plans for him. Is he hallucinating, or uncovering a sinister plot? Tom Cruise followed a similar path in Oblivion but made $84 million more doing it.

Sunshine A worldwide blackout looms on Earth as the sun loses its power. It’s up to a good-looking crew (including Chris Evans, Rose Byrne) to jump-start the sun with a nuclear device before it’s too late.

But when the Icarus loses contact with ground control, things really heat up.The crew faces trial by fire, water and zero oxygen, though director Danny Boyle (28 Days Later, Slumdog Millionaire) restrains himself from unleashing a zombie attack.

— compiled by Debbie Caldwell. Email information to listings@nsnews.com.

Six months later they were married and are now settled in West Vancouver with two children, aged one and three.

“It’s about taking a risk,” she says.

Frankie and Johnny marks Cave’s return to a Vancouver stage since moving home from Toronto in 2010.This production may not be suitable for younger audiences, she warns, but explains the instances of nudity, sexuality and coarse language are all necessary to maintain the raw honesty of the story.

“That’s what it is and if you don’t embrace it then you’re betraying the play, but I also think it can be handled in a way that’s true.”

Kay Meek’s managing and artistic director Claude Giroux, who is also directing Frankie and Johnny, says Cave was the perfect choice for this role.

“It’s just such a strong female part,” he says.

“It’s such a balancing act between fear and passion and I just thought that it was a role that Caroline was

ready to play and a role that was very appropriate for someone of her particular skills.”

One challenge he faces as director is identifying the subtle nuances in McNally’s script.Without these emotional “hills and valleys” the play could easily turn into a screaming match or a “dark, ooey gooey mess,” Giroux says.

“There is a lot of humour and pathos in this play and making sure to find those moments that make these people want to stay and want to figure this out is really important to making it all make sense,” he says. “The play is really about two people struggling to connect in a meaningful way when, to some degree, the odds are against them.”

Looking ahead, Giroux says TheatreK’s second season, which includes productions of Driving Miss Daisy and Norm Foster’s On a First Name Basis, will appeal to a wide audience.

“There’s a nice balance between musicals, dramatic productions and some comedy that I feel provides a great opportunity for folks to get a little bit of everything theatrically.”

Remember the New Beetle? No, not the current new Beetle, which is technically the new New Beetle, but the old New Beetle, which was the new version of the old old Beetle — oh never mind, I’ll just come in again.

Remember the 1998 Volkswagen Beetle? Sure you do. It was that super kitschy, super retro, super cute faux bug that consisted of a Fisher-Price-styled three-hemicircle design running on the chassis of a Golf.

It was a pretty successful machine, and despite somewhat questionable features like an on-board vase, and some odd forward visibility thanks to the three feet of dash mandated by the Golf underpinnings, it sold well. Seeing as it drove just like a Golf, that meant it handled pretty well, and did a good job as a practical daily driver with a hint of style.

Yeah, so anyways, these guys in Langley? They built one with almost 500 horsepower.

Let me set the scene for you. It’s 2001 and you’ve just bought yourself the Ferrari 355 you’ve always wanted. It’s gorgeous, perfectly proportioned in red, properly side-straked, and possessed of a sonorous

It’s a recipe that’s pretty much impossible to screw up: take one small car, insert one large engine.

Add gasoline. Mix well.

Pretty straightforward stuff, but it’s produced everything from Carroll Shelby’s Cobra to the ‘32 Ford Deuce Coupe of the iconic Beach Boys song.

And, in the 1990s, it was quite the thing to do with the humble Honda Civic.

You had to speak the lingo in those days, you had to know your B16s from your B18s from your H22s, and you had to be able to rattle off the chassis codes with confidence.

Grinding Gears

Fast Hondas flocked like swarms of hornets, laughed at by the guys in big-power Mustangs — right up until the lightweight Japanese pocket-rockets put the hurt

on them.

There wasn’t any magic to it, it was simply that a focus on efficiency had made Honda’s prosaic people-mover into a light but sturdy shell that a revvy four-cylinder powerplant could transform into an autocross legend. But, with age and greater focus on safety and smoothness, the Civic got a bit middle-aged.

They still sipped the gas, but the compact, nimble feeling wasn’t really there.

In Frankfurt last month, I heard the head of Honda’s European division get up and quote Soichiro Honda at the crowd, speaking of

a return to Honda’s racing roots.The company’s moving back into Formula One.They’re competing in the World Touring Car Championship.

They’re also bringing back the legendary Civic Type R, though for Europe only. So what does this new apparent focus on handling and performance mean for the hottest factory Civic you can buy here?

Most of the things written on his car are hilarious. And unprintable.

Both Sciroccos have around 565 h.p. from twin-turbocharged V-6s, allwheel drive and tuned-up dual-clutch transmissions.

They are ridiculously fast, and ridiculously well put together.

Almost every car in the HPA shop comes from far away. Along with the Texan car, there’s a GTI from New Jersey, another from Hong Kong, a Euro-only old-school Rallye Golf being built for an older collector out in NewYork.

Another big-horsepower Golf sits in pieces on a lift, bound for Trinidad once it’s completed.

Instead, parked out front is a clear advertisement of the sort of hijinks these folks get up to: a slammed Audi TT coupe with a prominent big-brake kit, a bright red R32 Golf with a front-mount intercooler and . . . is that a brand-new Scirocco? How the heck is that legal?

Marcel Horn, the dark-haired, gregarious, loquacious founder and president of HPA simply grins mysteriously when I ask how he’s able to have two examples of the sleek, Euro-only Scirocco on site.

One car belongs to the company, the other wears Texas plates and a vinyl wrap covered in signatures.

The owner of the latter, who has had the car shipped up for some tuning work, had the car wrapped in matte-white, but didn’t like the look. He charged $5 to sign the Scirocco

V-8 howl. Then some guy in a car with a dash-mounted flower-holder blows the doors off your Italian thoroughbred. I’m thinking that might be a little annoying — or hilarious.

The mad scientists behind the hi-po Beetle are no hack-job homebrewers either.You might not have heard of HPA Motorsports — a small shop that’s been doing business out of the Fraser Valley since 1991 — but the world has, and it likes their cars. I took a trip down to their new headquarters to find out what they were up to.

It’s a pretty innocuous looking building, a beige mass plonked in a business park, surrounded by gravel and concrete companies.

The 12,000 square foot facility is a new home for the expanding company, and they haven’t even had a

the VR6, has led to an international following.

Winning the aftermarket’s most prestigious event, the SEMA show, garnered one of their twin-turbo Golfs a place in the best-selling Gran Turismo gaming series, meaning that kids everywhere would grow up knowing what HPA is.

There’s something satisfyingly Canadian about these cars — special effort is made to use locally sourced parts and expertise, with almost all the performance parts either fabbed up in-house or made nearby. HPA’s machines are certainly aggressive looking, but they’re as easy to drive as regular Volkswagens, with all-wheel drive and smooth-shifting dual-clutch automatics.

Despite the big brake kits, most of the cars here are built to handle 18-inch alloys, meaning that fitting

Instead of sucking down gas, the project Jeep runs clean, sipping diesel on its way down the highway to find the trailhead.

It’s very different than the spare-no-expense nature of HPA’s lightning fast machines, built to be easily repairable and durable off-road, rather than dominant at the track. However, it’s the same idea as that first high-performance Beetle — an exterior shell with something unexpected underneath, all sewn together with care, made in Canada.

Sleet, rain, sun, mud - there’s nothing like winter weather to put your wipers to the test.

New Honda wipers will reduce streaking, windshield glare and help improve visibility.

winter tires isn’t really that expensive. They also provide tuning solutions for the ubiquitous VW 2.0litre turbo, and have done amazing things with the low-availability Golf R. However, it’s a much slower vehicle that Marcel’s most excited to show me this afternoon — a rough-and-tumble looking Jeep. He fires it up, and instead of the thrum of a big six-cylinder, there’s the signature clatter of a four-cylinder VW diesel.

Sandwiched between the Jeep running gear and beltdriven accessories is a lowmileage junkyard motor, the whole thing having been cobbled together for less than $16,000 including the cost of all parts and the purchase price of the Jeep.

It’s still as agricultural as you’d expect from a bigtired offroader, but there’s huge torque and reportedly excellent fuel economy.

Souped-up Civic shines in wet weather From page 53

vacuum cleaner, as their best-selling car looks a bit like a DustBuster in twodoor mode. It’s all angular wedginess, standing out in a sea of more bulbous compact cars.

I like it a lot. If you took the wheels off and added a rocket pod or two, this machine wouldn’t look out of place parked next to the Cantina on Mos Eisley.

Being a Si model, this futuristic-looking machine rocks aerokit add-ons and a well-integrated rear spoiler.

HFP stands for Honda Factory Performance, and if you forget that, there’s a badge to remind you on the rear trunk lid, and each of the multi-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels.You can only buy this special version in white or black, and just 200 of each colour will be sold in Canada this year.

The HFP Civic has a sport suspension that sits a little lower than the normal car, and with the larger wheels has a sleeker look.

Even older folks seemed to like it, as I came back to find an elderly couple taking a closer look as it sat at the curb. “Oh!” they said in surprise, “It’s a Civic!”

Presumably they were wondering whether the USS Enterprise had deployed one of its shuttles.

Along with the visual add-ons, this HFP edition also has some underbody spoilers designed to reduce airflow turbulence, and comes with a set of four sticky Michelin Pilot Super Sport summer tires. More on how these functional modifications affect the car in a moment.

Environment I did manage to fit a rearfacing child seat into the back of the HFP coupe, but only just barely. However, if you’re looking at this machine as a safer but stillswift option to replace your tuned-up older Civic, then know that it can haul two adults plus kids with, well,

not exactly ease — with competence.

It also took a running stroller into the entirely reasonable trunk space without too much difficulty, although with barely enough space left over for a Fruit Roll-Up. Like a regular Civic, this car still comes with split-folding rear seats.

Up front the HFP cars get red floor mats, but before you roll your eyes, this minor change actually looks pretty good, and not at all boy-racerish. In fact, next to hooligan-type machines like the Mazdaspeed3, the Civic’s red and black patterned interior is borderline restrained.

The seats aren’t quite as laterally supportive as you might wish, and the seating position is a bit too high, but both these compromises result in better comfort and forward visibility.

Performance Grip. Grip grip grip.

There’s some grip, and then there’s a little more grip, and just when you think you’re going to run out of grip — you guessed it — even more grip.

Priced right around the same level as the rear-drive Subaru BRZ, currently the darling of the automotive press in terms of inexpensive sports cars, the Civic Si doesn’t have either the low-slung feel or tendency to tail-happiness of its lightweight rival. Adding the HFP package, however, means that it out-grips the rear-drive machine six ways from Sunday.

This is particularly noticing in the wet — gee, do you think that’d be an important consideration for the West Coast? — where the Civic’s sticky rubber and mechanical helical limited slip differential help it get off the line without the embarrassing one-tire fire that front-drive sportsters are so often prone to.

Manual-transmissiononly, the HFP has one of the best shifters out there, though the feel of the clutch and steering might be too light for some tastes. Still, fling it down through a couple of corners, and find that it’s an incredibly easy car to drive quickly.

The 2.4-litre fourcylinder makes 201

horsepower right at its 7,000 r.p.m. redline, with a solid 170 foot-pounds of torque coming in down low at 4,400 r.p.m. Unlike previous hot Hondas, that means you don’t need to wind out a screaming fourbanger into the stratosphere, and a lazy driver in traffic can take things pretty easy as the big engine is happy to loaf along in third gear.

Dicing with traffic, the Si responded well to being short-shifted, and didn’t call much attention to itself while still being decently quick.The power can’t match its forced-induction rivals, of course, but there’s a pure, mechanical feel to the way it’s delivered, and with a proper limited slip rather than the electronic nannies of the Focus ST or the boost-limiter Mazdaspeed3, the Honda somehow felt livelier.

Revving it up, therefore, turns out to be quite the treat. A somewhat cheesy gauge off to the left lights up a red LED indicator when Honda’s VTEC variable valve timing kicks over into power mode, and then counts forward to

four yellow lights until you bounce right off the rev limiter.

Extracting that full 201 h.p. takes a bit of work — as the Civic’s free-revving powerplant doesn’t run out of steam in the higher rev ranges, there’s the feeling that it should rev even higher. And, in fact, perhaps a little sadness that it doesn’t – some of the engine’s character has been sacrificed here to give it that day-to-day torque that’s so handy.

Taken all together, the HFP Si rewards all the standard front-wheel drive tricks from left-foot braking through to extracareful throttle application on corner exit and a bit of trail-braking going into the curve. It’s quite good fun, though perhaps a little less body roll could be wished for.

However, in the rain, the very slight factory softness allows the car to settle and simply carve through, while the combination of the helical limited slip and the smooth progression of See Rear page 58

the power lets the Civic really carve up the turns.

You could really annoy the driver of some expensive, overpowered machinery in this thing — just the sort of stuff a hot Honda is supposed to be good at.

Features As a top of the range car, the Si comes packed with satellite radio, Bluetooth connectivity, GPS-based navigation and a decent premium stereo.

Everything’s easy-to-use, if not perhaps directly comparable to nextgeneration systems coming out in models like the Mazda3, but there’s a high level of on-board equipment

here to enjoy.

If you’re worried that the steeply sloped rear glass is going to cause visibility problems, then note that Honda’s excellent multiview rear camera is standard on all Si models.

Heated seats are standard, as are a power moonroof and aluminium pedals.The multifunction display screen shows everything from fuel economy figures to an instant-read gauge of how much power the engine is producing.

Premium fuel is required, but the Civic Si doesn’t gulp it. Even with the spirited driving that it encourages, the official figures of 10.0 litres/100 kilometres city and 6.4 l/100 km highway

transform this rear-drive lightweight as well, but then you might lose some of that chuckable, lightweight character that everyone seems to enjoy so much. It’s sharper than the Honda, and more fun as well.The seats are better too.

However, even though the BRZ has a 2+2 configuration, it’s not really practical.The Civic has coupe looks, but still has much more usable space, and with a set of snow tires becomes an entirely usable winter vehicle.The Honda’s larger engine and more available torque is also considerably better at the cut-and-thrust of stop-andgo traffic. mcaleeronwheels@gmail.com
