One of Western Canada’s most important pieces of architecture may soon be sold by The Land Conservancy into private ownership.

A B.C. Supreme Court judge will rule on Nov. 18 whether West Vancouver’s Binning House, the home of artist, architect and the father of West Coast modernism B.C. Binning, can be sold by the conservancy to help get the non-profit out of financial trouble.

The potential sale is being called a “winwin-win” scenario by John Shields, manager of The Land Conservancy, but advocates for the touchstone home of modern architecture are alarmed by the prospect.

The anonymous buyer has offered $1.6 million for the home and the promise of restoring it to its “former glory.”

“That offer came as a surprise.We had not even considered putting the Binning House into our list of potential properties for sale. Because it came as an unsolicited offer that was in excess of the assessed value, we began to explore the possibility of tracking down and satisfying ourselves that the offer was in fact as good as it looked,” Shields said.

RCMP called in their emergency response team and police dog unit to sniff out the suspect and any other potential victims on the trail Tuesday night.

Thrift store used as dump Junk dropped off at night a costly burden for volunteers

ANNE WATSON awatson@nsnews.com

A North Vancouver thrift shop was left with a messy cleanup this week after a large pile of junk was dropped at their doorstep.

Volunteers at the Lions Gate Hospital Thrift Shop discovered a mass of unsellable garbage — including piles of books, furniture and even filthy underwear and socks — had been dumped outside sometime during the nights of Nov. 2 or 3.

“It was probably five feet high and the length of our shop, which would be about 20 feet,” said Moninna Running, co-chair of the thrift shop. “We’ve never had a UHaul truck full of stuff before.”

Neighbours saw the culprits unloading a truck at the shop’s back door, accessed off a lane between West 15th and 16th streets.

Running said the problem of people using the thrift shop as a dump site for their unwanted junk has happened on and off in the past, but it is getting worse.

Running said the shop is not able to handle bigger items left behind, such as a chesterfield, organ and box spring. That means the shop has to pay someone to take them away and the

“donations” end up costing money.

“We have to get a truck if we can’t get anybody to take it away, and sometimes we can but most of the time, they don’t want it,” said Running. “So we have to hire a truck for $80 to $100, to get someone to come and truck it to the dump and we pay for it out of our proceeds.”

All of the thrift shop’s proceeds go directly back into the hospital.

In the most recent incident, a large table was also left outside but was eventually picked up by an interested customer.

Running said she doesn’t want people to stop donating to the store, but added donations need to come in during the day — when staff can assess them.

“We’re all volunteers, so we do the best that we can, but it’s just becoming overwhelming. That’s our biggest problem,” she said.

Signs posted outside of the shop alert people about unacceptable items, such as furniture, televisions and large appliances. But often those are ignored.

Running said they have talked to the North Vancouver RCMP. Neighbouring businesses also try to keep a lookout for the thrift shop.

“They often will see

combed the area for hours, they still have no suspect.

The trail, including the Grouse Grind, remained closed until midday Wednesday as police searched the trail’s edges looking for any clues that may point them to a suspect.

Police describe the attacker as a white male in his late teens with a slim build and short, dark hair.

There is no known motive in the stabbing and police say the victim and assailant do not know each other.

Police are asking the public to report any suspicious persons or incident to the North Vancouver RCMP at 604985-1311.

Ski hills gearing up for winter ANNE WATSON awatson@nsnews.com

PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD somebody and come out and ask them not to leave the stuff because we’re not there,” she said. “So they look out for us but it’s not really fair to put our problem on the neighbours . . .”

Sometimes items left outside the shop get strewn over the alley, adding to the problems.

Running said the shop shares a garbage bin with

a neighbouring produce business. When the bin quickly filled from all the garbage left behind recently, their neighbour was unable to use his share of the bin.

“Then he gets taken to task by people because his garbage is all over the place because he has no room,” she said.

Running said the thrift shop doubled its size six

years ago and is at full capacity again.

“We’re bursting and we do need space,” said Running. Running said people come from all over the Lower Mainland to shop at the store.

Running said the store does an “amazing” job of recycling items and making money for the hospital.

“We’ve only got this one blot,” she said.

A recent snowfall on the North Shore mountains has ski hills gearing up for the winter season.

So far there are no predi ctions about when skiers will likely be able to hit the slopes.

Cypress, Grouse and Mt. Seymour all had a dusting of snow within the past week.

The mountains have seen relatively warm temperatures, but cooler weather could be on the way.

“Essentially Environment Canada is predicting that from about now until March. . . the temperatures are going to run below average, which is really good,” said Emmalee Brunt, communications coordinator for Mt. Seymour.

Predictions also include the possibility of higher than average precipitation from November to January, she added.

Cypress Mountain and Mt. Seymour have already received around five centimetres of snow, though most of it has already melted.

Joffrey Koeman, director of sales and marketing at Cypress Mountain, said temperatures that fell below freezing at night allowed See No page 5

Public access a key issue

From page 3 Cypress to make snow with their snow guns on Nov. 3 and 4, but it melted the following day.

Grouse Mountain saw a bit more with seven centimetres of snowfall.

Jacqueline Blackwell, public relations manager at Grouse, said more is predicted for the coming days.

“Winter is well underway here at Grouse Mountain as we opened our ice skating pond this past Sunday,” said Blackwell.

Mt. Seymour has already had newsletter subscribers as well as social media followers anxious to know when the hill will open, Brunt said.

“Our predictions are end of November up until midDecember,” said Brunt.

Koeman said in the past, Cypress has usually opened around the beginning of December. However, last year the mountain opened Nov. 14 and the year before that Nov. 8, which Koeman said was their earliest opening ever.

“The improvements that we’ve made to our snow making system over the past couple of years I think have really allowed us to open earlier,” he said. “So we’re sitting right around the time.

It could happen any day now.”

and the home, which is already designated a national historic site, Shields said.

“We’re doing something that meets our objective, which is to realize money from property but also meets our objective of continuing the preservation of historical value to the extent that’s humanly possible,” he said.

But the Binning House has strong advocates outside the conservancy who are also vowing to be heard before the sale is approved.

“That’s very, very worrisome news. Heritage advocates across the country and lovers of the Binning House are quite nervous and angry in many cases.This is appalling,” said Adele Weder, an architecture journalist, who wrote her masters in architecture degree thesis on the Binning House.

Besides its design — revolutionary when the house was built in 1941 — Binning’s home was a gathering point for fine artists, architects, professors and students, poets and writers.

“It became a touchstone for West Coast Modernism.

All the artists and architects in the region were inspired

by Binning’s house, like a cipher of Rosetta Stone. It was like an encyclopedia.

the home in private hands means lovers of the Binning House will never have assurance that it will be kept, maintained and open in perpetuity, she said.

While the District of West Vancouver has placed a host of covenants on the Binning House, there is no such thing as a covenant that requires the owner allow the public access to the otherwise private home, Weder noted.

“It would belong to a private individual who could flip it, sell it, keep it totally private, perhaps let it erode by neglect. It would be out of community hands,” said Weder, adding she will work with whoever winds up the owner of the home on Mathers Crescent.

More than the home itself possibly being lost,Weder added. She

So much of our culture was incubated in that house,” she said.

Weder was a friend of Binning’s wife Jessie, until her death in 2007. Jessie Binning left the home to trustees to assure it would remain a place of architectural inspiration and study in public hands.

“She expressed to me and her trustees and, obviously, in her will that she wanted the house to continue on as a community resource as a historic or scholarly centre.

It definitely violates the spirit of the Charitable Purposes Preservation Act. It violates the spirit of Jessie’s will and her wishes.

Whether it technically violates the law, remains to be seen,”Weder said.

Despite the potential buyer’s intentions, having

is worried the Nov. 18 decision could set a precedent.

“If you have to sacrifice this. . . who in Canada will ever, ever feel safe again donating these sorts of heritage properties to anyone if the Land Conservancy shows they can turn around and sell it?

The precedent could have the power to destroy the heritage property donation community across the country,” she said.

Shields said concerns like Weder’s will be considered, both by the judge and the potential buyer.

“There is a legitimate interest in knowing the public has a concern and they would be largely allayed by the answers we’ve heard. but we can’t speak for the purchaser,” he 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.

Oil slick O

n Tuesday afternoon, B.C. Premier Christy Clark and Alberta Premier Alison Redford got down to some serious business of smiling for the cameras.

Previously, Clark had famously said that no pipelines would even be considered in B.C. until Alberta and the proponents had satisfied her government’s five extremely vague conditions.

Though it did not contain a single detail, Tuesday’s press conference seemed to announce that “progress” had been made.

We do know that one of the five conditions — the one demanding a share of royalties to compensate B.C. for taking on the environmental risk — is still a non-starter for Alberta.

But apparently, staff for both premiers put on their beer goggles Monday night and concluded that impasse doesn’t stop

B.C. from demanding money from the pipeline companies themselves.

Presto, the deal was back on along with one of Clark’s treasured photo ops.

We don’t know if Clark and Redford really are besties now or if they ever were the frenemies they appeared to be.

But all of this lends credence to the cynics who predicted the “five conditions” were all just talk — with plenty wiggle room.

Neither premier actually has a veto in whether the pipeline gets approved.

It’s the National Energy Board that gets to decide whether the Northern Gateway will become a reality.

The biggest X-factors in all of this are still the dozens of First Nations who will have their territories bisected by a pipeline they are so far dead set against.

We’d bet the Clark and Redford lovein will not be the end of the pipeline debate. Not by a long shot.

Ivory tower attitude fuels CapU debate Capilano University’s faculty, or some of the more literately effulgent thereof, are enraged by the institution’s cutbacks — classic NIMD, you might say: Not in My Department.

What would you expect? Encana cuts back because the price of natural gas is deeply depressed, BlackBerry struggles to see its goods and lays off staff by the hundreds, and the silence of the fired employees fills the land.

But don’t fool with education at any level, because its practitioners are instantly out front castigating the heartless, purblind government and its minions denying important courses to their students.

Thus our North Shore university’s president, Kris Bulcroft, is getting big heat

Trevor Lautens

This Just In

for cutting lesser, mostly artsy programs — though some are in the commerce area, as MLA Ralph Sultan points out, and do we need more commerce or not in British Columbia?

The fact is that the university is currently running in the red. But universities, carrying the torch of learning, civilization

CONTACTUS

and nasty chants tolerating if not advocating rape (that’s at the University of British Columbia), in some quarters are expected to be bulletproof from an economic recovery that is often lipsticked with words like “fragile.”

Bulcroft is where the buck stops on the Capilano campus.

I haven’t met Bulcroft.

But on balance — and with what I rate as a fine balance — Sultan has the more convincing take on the situation than several faculty past and present given ample space in this paper’s letters columns.

(One letter writer who called for Bulcroft’s resignation, Bill Schermbrucker, author of a recent book, Crossing Second Narrows, which novelizes Capilano’s early days, lives on a small island which I

sometimes retreat to, and, with a population of 350, it’s impossible not to bump into one another.)

Sultan’s own academic qualifications hardly need reciting here, though, as both a Harvard graduate and professor with many other ribbons, we can conclude he knows something about higher education.

The core of Sultan’s Oct. 20 letter on this page is that the administration properly cut some programs “which serve a ‘feeder’ function to such larger and more established universities such as UBC,” while protecting programs that lead to degrees within Capilano University itself.The bigger picture is that Cap is no longer an educational farm team, and under Bulcroft is making “the tricky transition from being a great

community college to being a great university.”

Excellently put.

Overnight, renaming Cap and six other such B.C. colleges didn’t turn them into instant competition for Oxford, Stanford,Toronto or Chicago, or even rubbing a distant shoulder with them.

Harvard wasn’t Harvard when it opened in 1636 either.

The truculent members of the Capilano faculty may have a fair argument that progress to real university status beyond the name has been too slow.

Notable by their omission: Maclean’s current annual university grading issue ignores Capilano and the other instant universities. Some listed, like Fredericton’s St. Thomas (2,489 full- and part-time students) and

Cape Breton (3,200), are small. Capilano in contrast claims an enrolment of more than 10,000. Predictably, the magazine’s ratings make some institutions very angry and unco-operative, but you can be sure they’re read avidly in academe, not to say by parents scouting higher education possibilities for their loved ones.

If there’s a fatal flaw in all this, I think it lies here: Then-premier Gordon Campbell made a big, fat political pitch, not an educational judgment, in elevating the seven colleges in 2008 — yes, just five years ago — to university status.

Promotion by magic wand.

Health cuts loom in budget crunch Governments like to release bad news on Fridays and a prime example of that was last week’s announcement that the Fraser Health Authority was in trouble.

Of course, the official news release didn’t actually frame it in those words. Instead, it said that Health Minister Terry Lake was “directing a strategic and operational review” of Fraser Health, and it was a review designed to “assist” the health authority.

But the key line buried in the news release was this: “It is anticipated Fraser Health will require additional funding from the ministry of health to meet its service requirements.”

I hate to be one of the “I told you so” types, but there are many of us who predicted back in February that the funding increase for the health care system was well short of what was required just to maintain the status quo when it comes to service delivery.

The funding lift was about $620 million, which brought the overall health ministry budget to $16.5 billion. But as large as the funding increase was, it was significantly lower than previous years’ increases.

A number of observers concluded the health care system was underfunded by at least $250 million, and said there were going to be inevitable cuts in service delivery.

And that is exactly what seems to be happening, at least in the Fraser Health region, which is the fastest growing of all the health authorities. It serves more than 1.6 million people in

Keith Baldrey

View from the Ledge

an area that extends from Burnaby to Boston Bar. To be clear, spending gobs more money on health care isn’t necessarily a good thing. B.C. has the country’s best health “outcomes” in a variety of measuring sticks, but trails a number of provinces in per capita health care spending.

And it is clear that pouring hundreds of millions of dollars in increased funding for health care every year is a fool’s errand. Eventually, government services in other areas will be cut or taxes will have to rise, or both.

But the sudden belt tightening (if a $620 million increase can be called “belt tightening”) over the course of a single year obviously has a significant impact on a complex system that is used to spending more money.

Fraser Health was given an additional $135 million in funding this year, but clearly that was not enough. The health authority spends about $7 million each and every day, which shows just how expensive solving this funding problem may be.

This all undoubtedly makes Finance Minister

Mike de Jong very nervous.

Balancing the budget is the key, dominant part of the B.C. Liberal government’s agenda, and right now it is balanced on a proverbial razor’s edge.

The last fiscal update projected a miniscule surplus of less than $200 million on a budget of $44 billion. There is precious little room for error, and even a tiny bump in health care funding could quickly turn that small surplus into a very real deficit.

••• A lot of ink was spilled last week over two blatant patronage appointments

by Premier Christy Clark, but should anyone be surprised by them?

Appointing exB.C. Liberal MLA Ben Stewart as the new trade commissioner to Asia was an obvious reward for him giving up his Westside Kelowna seat so the premier could win a byelection there.

And giving former party leader Gordon Wilson a government contract connected to the liquefied natural gas file seemed derived from the fact he endorsed her party during the recent election campaign.

Certainly, the qualifications of both appointees can be questioned, and there is at least some irony with Wilson’s appointment (he clashed with Clark in the past, and recently expressed doubt about the prospects of LNG actually taking off in this province).

But spare me the howls of outrage from critics who seem to think this is some kind of major war crime.

Patronage appointments are an inevitable byproduct of pretty well any political

system and all political parties engage in that activity. The B.C. Liberals have made a lot of political

Community gardens approved JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

The plot to bring community gardens to Lynn Valley recreation centre and Garibaldi Park succeeded Monday following a District of North Vancouver council debate that ran the gamut from user fees to food security.

Approximately 45 gardens will be located in the 5,800 square foot patch adjacent to Garibaldi Park’s tennis courts. The Lynn Valley gardens will likely accommodate between 30 and 35 plots in a 3,700 square foot section facing Frederick Road, according to a district staff report.

A water hook-up is required on both sites.

Despite voting in favour of the $8,000 proposal, Coun. Mike Little expressed concern that community gardens sprouting up in Garibaldi would reduce the district’s stock of open fields.

“There are very few open play areas left in the District of North Vancouver. So many of them are fields that are programmed and kids just can’t go out and kick

Maja Regehr, president of the North Shore Community Garden Society, stands next to a sunflower grown in the Queen Mary Community Garden. PHOTO CINDY GOODMAN a ball around,” he said.

“I don’t want to see us always targeting those sites because it is a diminishing asset.”

The district is being too generous in providing free land that is worth at least $135 a square foot, according to Little.

“I just wish there wasn’t the expectation for us to subsidize the operation entirely.”

Hopeful green thumbs on the 65-gardener waitlist

often spend as long as three years waiting for a plot, according to Maja Regehr, president of the North Shore Community Garden Society.

The high demand suggests fees could be a little higher, according to Little.

“I will support this, I just wish there was more money being brought to the table by the people who are getting a private benefit out of public land,” he said.

Using public funds for individual benefits is a common occurrence in the district, Coun. Alan Nixon said.

“I can think of countless other areas where the district subsidizes private person’s endeavours. The recreation commission being a prime example.

(As) somebody who doesn’t use them, my taxes go to subsidize the use of people who do.”

Mayor Richard Walton

Senior VP of Operations

Ensuring our terminal operates responsibly and safely for employees and the community is something I think about every day.

was the most enthusiastic supporter of the gardens.

“I’d like to see 10,000 community gardens in North Van,” he said.

Walton suggested approaching strata councils about other locations for community gardens.

Couns. Robin Hicks and Roger Bassam jousted over the role of community gardens in food security.

“One day we’re going to have a catastrophe in California because they’re running out of water and the cost of produce is going to go sky high. So the greater opportunity and access to produce is going to be in our benefit,” Hicks said.

Bassam disagreed about the role of community gardens.

“I think they’re a great thing but they are not the answer for food security for a population of 2.5 million in the Lower Mainland,” Bassam said.

Bassam suggested the community garden society apply modest user fees to fund future projects.

“I don’t think it’s unreasonable to ask people to pay $100 a year . . . not just to pay back but also to pay forward.”

‘Instant’ university a problem From page 6 drily noted: “There’s the old joke about what the boss offers when he can’t provide a raise: a new title.”

Thus the evolution Sultan wisely identifies. Inevitably, many, including some faculty above all, think it’s too slow.

Others, very likely including the bean-counters who have to make this transition, say: Too fast. As the Goldilocks story affirms, you can’t even get the porridge temperature just right for everyone.

••• Unbelievably, a paper I’m too kind to name printed extravagant praise written by distant (read: eastern) chain correspondents when Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize for literature.

None mentioned that Munro spent years living in Vancouver, North Vancouver and West Vancouver.

Likely the only now and future Nobel laureate to have actually resided here, and not a word about it.

If my old colleague Ron Riter spotted this omission — there’d have been no omission. rtlautens@gmail.com

INQUIRING REPORTER From the infamous mystery video tape to the recent admission of smoking crack, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has hit headlines around the world. Staff quit his office. Torontonians have written chalk messages outside of city hall in protest, calling for the mayor to resign. And yet he remains steadfast that he’s not going anywhere, so far.

Ford still has supporters in some of the Toronto suburbs and according to a Forum Research poll, voters approve of the work that Ford has done. But should he call it quits?

— Anne Watson

Alan Vyner North Vancouver “Yes, he broke the law.”

Do you think Toronto Mayor Rob Ford should step down?

Brian Mair North Vancouver “Yes, he lied. (It’s) a position of trust.”

Jas Sandhu New Westminster “If he’s a bad mayor, not because he did crack.”

Rod Schwan Langley “Definitely. He’s a liar.

He did do crack and he lied about it.”

Doug Rose Surrey “Not if he’s doing a good job. If he’s doing a good job, everybody makes mistakes.”

Dan Hicks answers the bell Legendary Bay Area hipster journeys north for rare gig in Vancouver ■ Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks perform at the Electric Owl (928 Main St.,Vancouver) as part of Capilano University’s Cap Global Roots Series, Monday, Nov. 11 at 8 p.m.

Tickets $27 (advance), $30 (at the door). For more information visit electricowl.ca. For tickets go to http://ticketf.ly/HuVCDK. JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

WHAT THEY SAY:

“Nobody’s ever come up with a proper label for Dan Hicks.That’s partly because he leapt over the vast jazz divide created by bop. Bebop subdivided the rhythm and broke the melody into cubist fragments until swing was something you did between your ears instead of out on the dance floor. But there was a time from the ’20s through the ’40s when swing — “hot rhythm” — rippled through every form of popular music.

That’s the music Dan Hicks plays . . . ” — David Smay “The Swinger,” The Oxford American, Nov. 2007 “Dan Hicks is an American Treasure.”

— Elvis Costello More online at nsnews.com/entertainment twitter.com/NSNPulse

A hiss.

A pop.

And then western swing.

The 78 spun and Bob Wills sang of San Antonio roses and stars and stripes on Iwo Jima.

Dan Hicks listened.

Some musicians spend their lives chasing a sound or a style, but rather than being formed by a single performer, Hicks is informed by a host of musicians. Folk, country, and jazz have all contributed to the singer-songwriter’s reservoir of phrases, ideas and arrangements he experiments with in his own compositions.

As a teenager Hicks’ taste for swing bent to jazz, and he began his career behind the drums, soaking up Hoagy Carmichael standards like “Stardust” and “Heart and Soul.”

“It was just all kind of a source.

Everybody was a source for me,” he explains, his voice thick with years on the road, his cadence slow and deliberate.

Speaking from Mill Valley, Calif., Hicks recalls picking up his first guitar at 20 during San Francisco’s folk music revival of the early 1960s.

“I started strumming the guitar and it opened up a whole new other world of music for myself, the folk stuff. I kind of combined the two to make the Hot Licks sound, I think. I don’t know if it was intentional, but it was what I had available,” he says.

“I guess I wrote my first tune when I was about 20 or 21. Before then I don’t know if I’d written much of anything. I wrote a term paper.”

Hicks’ musical world is deep and broad. He sings. He scats. On occasion he may even yodel.

For comparative literature specialist Richard Harvey, it’s the complexity of Alice Munro’s short stories that have attracted readers for so long.

“The word dialectical

comes to mind,” the instructor in Simon Fraser University’s Continuing Studies program goes on to explain. “Her stories present contradictions that resolve when they’re followed up.

For example, in many stories there are actually two events that seem to be unrelated but they illuminate one another when they are explored and that’s her talent. She puts together stories like one would put together a puzzle and only far into the story does the clarity and illumination begin to emerge. . . . She takes really

ordinary events and shows the complexity underlying them.”

Harvey, a Lower Lonsdale resident who is also a practising psychotherapist, has often focused on the celebrated Canadian author — who he compares to the likes of Ernest Hemingway — in his courses as her typical form, the short story, is a personal specialty.

So, it’s no surprise that in the wake of Munro’s recent award nod, the Nobel Prize in Literature for 2013, for which she was referred to as a “master of the contemporary short story,” he’s calling on community members to stop and take notice.

■ Jupiter’s Travels in Camera by Ted Simon.

Haynes Publishing, 256 pages, $54.

On October 6, 1973 Ted Simon swung his leg over his new Triumph 500CC Tiger motorcycle and began a journey that would take him nearly four years to complete. His 103,000kilometre trek through 45 countries was chronicled in his book, Jupiter’s Travels.

That account and its follow-up, Riding High, inspired generations of motorcyclists to make their own trips to far away places and experience other places and cultures. Ewan

McGregor and Charley Boorman documented their round the world adventure in the TV series and book of the same title, LongWay Round, and commented that Simon’s book had been an inspiration for their trip.

Jupiter’s Travels was published in 1980 with a small selection of photographs included but there were many more photos available. Simon had taken two Pentax camera bodies and three lenses with him. Film was precious and used sparingly but over the journey he shot many pictures and now for the first time they are being seen.

While Simon makes no pretense of being a great photographer his pictures show a view into the past.

BOOKS

Munro spent several years on North Shore Harvey is presenting a free presentation entitled A Talk on Alice Munro and the Art of Narrative Fiction, Tuesday, Nov. 12 at 7 p.m. at theWestVancouver Memorial Library.

Munro, the 110th Literature Laureate, is the 13th woman to have received the honour, joining the ranks of Doris Lessing, Nadine Gordimer and Toni Morrison. She’s also the only Canadian to have won the award, with the exception of Saul Bellow, who, while born in Lachine, Que., was living in the United States when he received his.

“I think that the Nobel Prize is a huge honour. . . . and that it has been awarded to her is an immense honour and I thought in some way one should recognize that and acknowledge it and do something about it,” says Harvey.

He’s pleased to hear from local librarians that he’s not alone in honouring Munro’s talent, as her books are

proving hugely popular at the moment, and he’s hopeful for a big turnout onTuesday.

“I think (community members) will come because they recognize the quality and she gives a lot of pleasure and she is Canadian,” he says.

In addition to discussing her talent and many works, particularly those featured in a 1996 compilation Selected Stories, drawing from her previous publications, Harvey plans to highlight Munro’s local connection.

Born inWingham, Ont., she lived on theWest Coast for approximately 20 years, from the early 1950s to early 1970s.The first 10 or so years she spent in the Vancouver area, including homes in North and WestVancouver, and the remainder inVictoria where she and her first husband James opened Munro’s Books in 1963.The shop is still in operation and very much a local institution.

Munro’s first book, Dance of the Happy Shades, was released in 1968 and was

awarded the Governor General’s Award for English Fiction.

Munro has been based in Ontario since the 1970s, however recent media reports suggest the 82-yearold writer is spending the fall and winter inVictoria with family.

“One of my hopes is that a talk like this will stimulate people to form reading circles and study her stories,” says Harvey.

“Most book clubs deal with novels you see and short stories don’t feature very much but they’re much more convenient for reading groups to handle because you can handle one story in one meeting.”

In addition to his talk at theWestVancouver Memorial Library, Harvey is scheduled to give another, entitled Alice Munro, ShortStoryWriter, Nov. 21 at 1:30 p.m. at SFU’sVancouver campus. Admission is free and the event is open to all ages, but attendees are asked to register (sfu. ca/continuing-studies).

Trip’s insights make for great reading From page 16 His photos capture a world that has since moved on and reflect powerful sense of being in the moment, even though those

moments are scattered around the globe.

With each photo or series of images Simon has provided a description that connects to the subject but also to what he was

feeling about the journey.

These insights make for great reading and further illustrate the aspects of travel that have changed over the past 40 years.

COMEDY

Comic Steve Patterson keeps it real Current political mess an embarrassment of riches, says host of The Debaters ■ Steve Patterson, This is not Debatable!, Friday, Nov. 8, 7:30 p.m. at Centennial Theatre, 2300 Lonsdale Ave., North Vancouver.

Tickets: $45, available at centennialtheatre.com or by calling 604-9844484.

CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

Comedian Steve Patterson would like to say a big thank you to Canadian politicians, particularly members of the reigning federal Conservative party.

These days, question period antics in the House of Commons inspire more material than he can possibly work into his stand-up routines. The senate expense scandal alone is a goldmine of jokes.

“It’s an embarrassment of riches right now, there’s never been a better time to be a Canadian comedian,” Patterson says in a phone

interview from his home city of Toronto.

While domestic and international current affairs influence much of his comedic material, Patterson also mines for humour in everyday life.

“I’m not great at making things up, to be honest, so I have to hope that enough happens in my life that I can make funny, because otherwise I got nothing.”

Patterson will bring his unique brand of satire and observational comedy to North Vancouver’s Centennial Theatre on Nov. 8 as part of his national tour titled This is not Debatable! The oneman show provides an opportunity for him to flex his funny muscles outside his regular gig as host of CBC radio’s The Debaters, in which he moderates debate between two comedians who spar over topical, often amusing issues.

“It’s everything that I don’t get to say when

Vancouver’s

FAVOURITE

I’m hosting The Debaters,” Patterson says of his touring production. “This is just me, so I can take an opinion, take a point of view that I can’t take on The Debaters.”

Fans of the radio show can expect Patterson’s solo stand-up set to be a bit edgier than what national public broadcasting allows.

“It’s a little spicier than CBC radio tapings, but I’m not Andrew Dice Patterson,” he says, referring to explicit American comic Andrew Dice Clay. “It’s not going to be filthy.”

Patterson didn’t always have his sights set on standup. The London, Ontario native graduated from the University of Western Ontario with a business degree. He always had a knack for public speaking, he says, though his college professors weren’t crazy about him tossing jokes into what were supposed to be serious business presentations.

His first time at the microphone was unexpected, to say the least. Unbeknown to him, his dorm mates had signed him up for amateur night See Patterson page 38

Le Joli Mai (The Lovely Month of May) France 1963. Directors: Chris Marker, Pierre Lhomme.

— Just after the close of the Algerian War and the Évian Accords in the spring of 1962, filmmakers Chris Marker and Pierre Lhomme shot 55 hours of footage interviewing random people on the streets of Paris about their lives and the state of the nation.

The film, one of Marker’s signature poetic

essays, is reminiscent of the cinéma vérité approach of Jean Rouch and also like Michael Apted’s Up series which was first shot in the U.K. for Granada TV in 1964.

Marker’s friends, the French superstar couple, Yves Montand (in the French version) and Simone Signoret (in the English version) provided the commentary. A new restoration of the longunavailable film was showcased earlier this year at the 2013 Cannes festival and Pacific Cinémathèque will present its Vancouver premiere Nov. 9-14.

Rom-com finds its rhythm ■ About Time.Written and directed by Richard Curtis. Starring Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams and Bill Nighy.

Giant, theatre-sized chocolate? Check.

Girlfriends in tow?

Check. Hankies? Check.

You’ll need all three for About Time from Richard Curtis, the maestro of witty and touching romantic comedies (Notting Hill, Love Actually, Four Weddings and a Funeral).

The film stars Domhnall Gleeson as Tim, a man who has enjoyed an idyllic childhood on the coast of England complete with loving parents, a free-spirited sister and a dotty uncle, and tea on the beach every day.

It’s the family that we all want to join.

On his 21st birthday Tim is told by his dad (Billy Nighy) that the men in their family have an unusual gift: they can travel through time. “You can’t kill Hitler or shag Helen of Troy,” explains dad, but you can make little adjustments to

Bill Nighy stars in About Time, a new comedy from writer/ director Richard Curtis. PHOTO SUPPLIED MURRAY CLOSE/UNIVERSAL your own fate.

Tim puts his new skills to the test to acquire a girlfriend. After discovering that “all the time travel in the world can’t make someone love you,” he meets the girl of his dreams in Mary (Rachel McAdams) only to lose her again when he messes about too much with the time continuum.Thus Tim must woo her several times until he gets it right.

Putting aside the unfair advantage time travel gives the men in Tim’s family over the women, it’s a handy skill to have, being able to revise awkward conversations or cringingly bad make-out sessions. And there’s the

temptation to edit each part of the relationship, from sexual performance to proposals.

There are also difficult choices to be made when altering one person’s fate affects the course of another’s.When crises come — and they invariably do — Tim is desperate to fix everything and everyone, an impossible quandary.

But ultimately Tim learns that time travel becomes unnecessary when life is pretty perfect.

The film is as much about siblings and father and son as it is about romantic love. And these father-son moments turn

the film into a tear-jerker, a sobfest, actually. (Who knew a game of table tennis could be so fraught with emotion?)

Tim is an unlikely romantic hero, but he grows on us. McAdams brings her trademark girl-next-door charm.We root for them throughout, even if Tim’s methods are a little manipulative. But the film really succeeds because every character is fully fleshed-out, and has our undivided attention and sympathy, from the central couple to charming, hilarious supporting characters like Tim’s temperamental landlord Harry (Tom Hollander) or Tim’s sister (Lydia Wilson) who seems doomed to bad choices.

Aiding all is a fitting soundtrack featuring Nick Cave, Groove Amanda, Ben Folds and the UK’s Ellie Goulding with “How Long Will I LoveYou.” Crooner Jimmy Fontana’s “Il Mondo” comes during a pivotal scene.

Curtis has done it again: About Time is the most awkward and most satisfying love story in years, with poignant lessons about editing one’s life, seeing the good in every day and living in the moment.

Five Alarm Funk fired up for shows

Band celebrating their 10th anniversary at the Imperial ■ Five Alarm Funk TenYear Anniversary Weekend, Friday Nov. 8 and Saturday Nov. 9 atThe Imperial, 319 Main Street,Vancouver.

Doors 9:00 p.m. $20 advance tickets. For more information visit imperialvancouver.com.

NICHOLAS M. PESCOD ContributingWriter

Throughout their history, Vancouver-based Five Alarm Funk has always managed to keep the funk alive.

The band, who describe themselves as an unstoppable orgy of energy on stage, will be celebrating their 10th anniversary with two performances at the Imperial this weekend.

“We wanted to do something special for Vancouver,” drummer and vocalistTayo Branston says.

“We wanted to be able to

do a double-header and get the whole crowd out for the whole weekend.We are extremely excited to do the shows and we can’t wait for them to happen.”

Five Alarm Funk originally began as a threepiece garage band in 2003 and has since morphed into the 11-member band it is today.

“We started with drums, bass and guitar and eventually we got the four percussion players,” Branston says. “Then we got up to about seven people and then we knew we needed a horn section.”

“Horns have always been a big part of music that I’ve listened too. I’ve loved salsa and Afrobeat music all through my years and to have the horn section was a must,” he adds.

To date, Five Alarm Funk have released four albums.

MUSIC

Band best seen in action From page 25 Their most recent disc, Rock the Sky, came out last year and received a 2013 Juno nomination for Instrumental Album of theYear.

“It gives you validity and it makes you feel like you’re on the right path and that you’re getting credit for what you do,” Branston says about receiving an award nomination. “It’s always nice to be nominated but that is not most important to us.We are here for the fans and we are here to make the craziest music that we can.”

Branston says over the years the band’s sound has changed from a Parliament funk groove to their own individual sound.

“I’ve really noticed the transition in the last little while to more of this progressive rock death funk that we’re doing now,” he says. “Recently, I think Five Alarm Funk has really found its own sound.We’re now doing this giant musical explosion death funk.The only way to comprehend that is by coming to the shows.”

Like any band that endures a lengthy career, Five Alarm Funk has experienced its fair share of challenges. One of those challenges has been maintaining a core group of band members.

According to Branston, Five Alarm Funk has gone through about 25 different players throughout the band’s history.

“I think generally for any band it is hard to find all the people that really click together. Sometimes it just doesn’t work between people because of musically they’re not clicking or for whatever reason,” Branston says. “The major challenge for us was to find the right group of people.There are ten guys that are ready to do it and love it.They want to make this happen.”

Branston says communication between band members is critical in order to have success.

“You have to talk and discuss with each other and whether it is through email or face to face,” he says.

“By any means possible

being able to communicate, especially thoughts surrounding music and how people are feeling in general.

It can be tough but I think we do it reasonably well. It is always family.You go back and you talk about things and you end up loving them even more. It can be difficult but we all rise above that.”

Five Alarm Funk have played in the United States, Taiwan and all across Canada. Some of their most notable performances include gigs at Canadian Music Week, Ottawa Blues Fest and the Ness Creek Festival in Saskatchewan.

“Taiwan was crazy.We had done a month-long tour right before that and everyone was just beat from driving across the country for about 40 days,” Branston says. “We had a couple of crazy shows.We played up in the mountains in an old temple; it was the mid-summer ghost festival that we were playing in.

We played on the back of an old parade truck and we basically did a five-hour tour around the city and the

streets were just lined with people.”

Five Alarm Funk have also travelled extensively throughout British Columbia including several shows at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver.

“I love Canada to death,” Branston says about touring across the country. “It’s been the greatest experience, just to go to one side of the country and playing for people and making friends.”

Some of his most memorable moments as a member of Five Alarm Funk have come while playing at the TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival and Sunfest in London, Ont. “It’s just an open air music festival,” Branston says about the Sunfest.

“Everything is free and the whole city comes out to have a wonderful party.The Vancouver jazz festival and the London Sunfest are two of the most incredible experiences in my ten years with Five Alarm Funk.”

‘Body-friendly’ fashions a hit Deep Cove designer builds a thriving fashion empire

ANNE WATSON awatson@nsnews.com

FASHION FILE Our weekly roundup of fashion and beauty events and activities. page 36

A North Vancouver fashion designer has been ranked one of the top female entrepreneurs of this year.

Janet Stimpson, CEO and designer of White House Design Co., placed fourth on the 15th annual W100 ranking of Canada’s Top Female Entrepreneurs, produced

by Profit magazine and Chatelaine. Businesses are ranked according to a score based on size, growth rate and profitability.

“I’m thrilled of course,” says Stimpson. “That’s fabulous, particularly with our placement, fourth, it’s wonderful.”

Stimpson, 62, has been a part of the fashion industry since 1977 when she opened her first store, Moodyville Cotton and Canvas. Since then she has been building her fashion empire, including her current labels Sympli and Sympli Grand, creating designs and using fabrics that are “bodyfriendly” for a variety of sizes. White House runs all of its operations from around Vancouver and recently relocated to a larger warehousing and operations facility within Burnaby to accommodate its growing business, one of many challenges for the company.

“I’ve been doing this for so long there’s just been nothing but challenges,” says Stimpson.

“Keeping the business in

Canada is certainly always challenging; it’s great, we’re committed to it, but that raises challenges.”

The company manufactures anywhere between 25,000 and 30,000 garments a month.

Sewing is done in small factories around the city to accommodate the employees that work in them. Some of White House Design’s core staff has been with the company for more than 20 years.

“We’re a great family, we have a wonderful time together, keeping everybody employed and happy and in a good environment,” says Stimpson. “It’s really positive and really rewarding, to see certain staff that’s been with me for years and then the younger staff that’s growing and finding a place in the business and enjoying it, that’s what makes me tick.”

Stimpson’s collection — including the 2013 Sympli fall offering, currently in stores — evolves season after season, she says.

According to its website, the company wholesales the Sympli line to more than 800 clothing retailers in Canada and the U.S. On the North Shore, shoppers can find the label at Phoenix boutique in Ambleside.

“We integrate every piece to work back into the line and we kind of eliminate things that we might be reworking or See Clothing page 31

Clothing collection evolves From page 29 giving a new face to or something that’s just sort of dying off,” she says. “So it grows from a place of need, we look at what the woman needs now in her wardrobe with respect to our collection because a lot of people that buy the collection, buy it that way.”

Stimpson says one of her main efforts right now is getting the younger staff “up to snuff ” so she can take more time off.

“I think I’ll work forever but I don’t want to work every day, nine to five. That’s something that we’re working on, which it doesn’t seem to be too big of a problem,” says Stimpson. “I have great staff. It’s fun and fascinating and interesting and always challenging. We just keep on trucking.”

MUSIC

The Thing boot up own boutique label JOHN GOODMAN jgoodman@nsnews.com

The Thing (Paal Nilssen-Love, Mats Gustafsson and Ingebrigt Håker Flaten) release their new album, BOOT!, next week on The Thing Records. PHOTO SUPPLIED PETRA CVELBA

The latest from The Thing, BOOT!, on their own label The Thing Records (New Perspectives on Music and Life!), will be available worldwide on vinyl, CD and download Nov. 12 in association with the Austrian Trost label.

The last time we saw the Scandinavian garage/free jazz trio (Mats Gustafsson — bass, baritone, tenor and soprano saxophones; Ingebrigt Håker Flaten — electric bass; and Paal Nilssen-Love — drums) they were working with Neneh Cherry, the daughter of their namesake Don Cherry, on The Cherry Thing.

Formed in 1999 as a Don Cherry recording project, the trio have tackled a variety of material over six albums including compositions

by PJ Harvey, Albert Ayler, The White Stripes, Steve Lacy, The Stooges, The Sonics, The Cramps, Lightning Bolt and The Ex and have collaborated with the likes of Peter Brötzmann, Sonic Youth, Jim O’Rourke, Thurston Moore, David Grubbs, Eye, The Ex, Pat Metheny, Arto Lindsay, Steve Reid, Kieran Hebden, Merzbow, Christian Marclay, The Nomads, Guy Picciotto and the aforementioned Cherries père and fils.

BOOT! is dedicated

to fans in the rock, noise and jazz communities and promises to take The Thing’s music to new and uncompromising levels.

Anyone who has seen these gentlemen perform live knows they are as good as their word.

Their 2011 album, Mono, originally put out on Smalltown Supersound, is also being re-released on the new label as double vinyl and a live collaboration with Thurston Moore is scheduled for 2014 as well as the band’s entire back catalogue on Crazy Wisdom and Smalltown.

For more information on upcoming releases go to thethingrecords.com.

Hicks never contemplated stopping the musical ride From page 11 guitar capture the piercing, mournful tone of flamenco.

His most recent album, Live at Davies, may even include a kazoo solo.

Asked about his favourite songs, Hicks turns cantankerous.

“I can’t conjure up some songs that I think are good.

I don’t know whether you mean mine or in the world or the vast amount of songs that exist today,” he says.

“I’m not going to answer that question. I don’t like it.

I don’t like that question.”

Five minutes after the phone interview ends, Hicks calls to apologize.

“A favourite song of mine that I wrote is ‘I Scare Myself,’ and my favourite song in the world is ‘Stella

by Starlight,’” he says.

The question was too reductive and the musical world is too big, Hicks explains of his initial refusal to answer.

The apology seems emblematic of Hicks’ journey from a punk in folk musician’s clothing to his

current status as a treasured troubadour.

“I was kind of a confrontational ‘How the f!@#k is everybody tonight?’ kind of guy,” he says of his early touring days in the late 1960s.

The audience at today’s venues are a little gentler, he says.

“I think the higher the ticket price the more civil the people,” he says. “There are a lot of people that look like they’re about as old as I am.We’re all more mature now.”

At 71, touring is both a joy and a necessity for Hicks.

Asked what propelled him back on the road, Hicks replies: “Basically, economics. It’s one of my sources of incomes. If I wasn’t to play, I wouldn’t have that money. I’m not independently wealthy or anything. I didn’t write ‘Stardust.’ I still like to do it, that’s the other part of my answer.”

In 2000, Hicks collaborated with Surfdog Records to form a new version of the Hot Licks.

“I still like getting on the stage and singing with people and keeping the thing alive,” he says, pausing and repeating the phrase: “Keeping the thing alive.”

While some of his contemporaries bowed out of the music business to find more dependable employment, Hicks says he never contemplated putting down his guitar.

“This is sort of like my calling, and there’s always just enough to keep me going.The desire to make the music, be creative, that never left.”

Live at Davies includes “He Don’t Care,” a slow tune about a slow stoner that includes lyrics like, “He’s always stoned. He’s never not stoned.”

As the song nears its conclusion, Hicks draws laughter from the crowd by calling out: “It’s almost over, people.”

With plans for new songs and a new album in the works, the eclectic and experimental work of Dan Hicks is hopefully far from over.

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities.

Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own.

Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in.

Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats.

Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis.

If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help.

The Cavalier Kind

May Globus

After being buzzed into the jewellery shop in the historic Dominion Building, it’s clear that Cavalier is in a league of its own.

Not only is the space beautiful with its tall ceilings, brick and wood, Cavalier is also community-minded, exclusively carrying pieces from local independent designers.

Whether more contemporary or traditional in look, high quality materials, precious gemstones and good design makes each work sold here timeless.

Classic German-made NIRVEL wristwatches (from $500) run on Swiss mechanics, while the Contoli watches (from $750) are handcrafted just up the street. The ZULA Jewlery + Design leaf print medium necklace ($110) is for those with a penchant for the delicate and feminine, much in contrast to the bronze rock and roll signet-style LACAR skull ring ($146).

The team also works with clients to create customized pieces and has with an in-house goldsmith on hand.

There’s something for everyone here — the problem is, we want it all.

The New Family Heirlooms May Globus

New in The Chinatown Experiment’s pop-up space, Izm’s moniker represents a movement focused on existence, essential nature and how one should live, a philosophy that seems inherently West Coast.

Clean lines constructed from solid wood are the design foundation and, despite a contemporary minimalist aesthetic, there’s still a delightfully rustic air about the high-end handcrafted pieces, each meant to age and to be passed on between generations.

What we wouldn’t give to have the Visualizm cabinet (from $4,650) and Eyeful coffee table ($2,950) accenting our living rooms — that, or the quirky air plant terrariums (from $50) by Gastown !orist Green Stems.

By the looks of it, beautiful furniture is new family heirloom.

Patterson twice named as Canada’s Best Male Stand-Up From page 18 at a local comedy club. He thought he was there as a spectator, but when his name was called, in spite of his initial shock, he strode on stage and managed to entertain the audience for seven whole minutes.

“It’s certainly not the way I would suggest getting into stand-up,” he laughs, struggling to recall the details of that evening. “I think I blacked out, to be honest.”

He may have blacked out, but he didn’t crash and burn. In fact, his impromptu bit garnered quite a few laughs, which encouraged him to pursue more club gigs.

After university, Patterson began working as an advertising copywriter — a job he got fired from in 1997 when he made an ad for an amusement park “too amusing.”

The client was Walt

Disney. The ad campaign was promoting the theme park’s quarter-centuryold roller coaster. As a gag among co-workers, Patterson mocked up a suggested slogan: “Finally, another chance for a middle-aged dad to ride a 25 year old.”

Somehow, his inside joke accidentally made it into his company’s presentation to Disney. Needless to say, representatives from the family-friendly enterprise were not amused. Shortly after the incident, Patterson was let go.

The end of his advertising career marked the beginning of his fulltime venture into comedy.

Over the course of his stand-up career, Patterson has headlined in Ireland, Australia, Switzerland, the U.K., the U.S., the United Arab Emirates and, of course, Canada. He regularly performs at the Just For Laughs comedy

festival and has twice been named Canada’s Best Male Stand-Up at the Canadian Comedy Awards.

Patterson says he makes an effort to deliver a slightly different live stand-up show each night, working in topical issues and placespecific jabs.

“I like to switch it up, I like to keep it really current and I like to talk about where I am at the time,” he says. “Every night that I have a show I like to pretty extensively read the news of where I am, see what’s going on and comment on it.”

There’s always an element of unpredictability at a comedy event, he adds, something only a live audience can truly appreciate.

“Over the course of 90 minutes, stuff’s going to happen on the night that’s not going to happen anywhere else, so I would really encourage people to come out.”

Grinding Gears

Ah, England. Land of Shakespeare and soccer hooliganism. Afternoon tea and A Clockwork Orange.The Royal family and The Long Good Friday.

What I’m trying to get at is that old Blighty is a place where genteel doesn’t always mean gentle.

And, when it comes to car companies, perhaps no British manufacturer captures this multi-faceted essence better than Jaguar.

If Aston Martin is a company building motorcars for gentlemen, then Jaguar makes boulevardiers for bounders.

It’s the car company for the caddish, the luxury line for cockney gangsters, the designated driver of the devilish.

Of course, these days, the Jag everyone’s talking about is the lithe and lovely F-Type. Not since, well, since the E-Type

has a Jaguar captured the imagination this way. As such, the other two-door Jaguar offering has moved into its shadow somewhat.

Introduced in 2005, and on the market by 2007, the XK may have gone a little long in the tooth. Make no mistake though, this supercharged version of the big cat is still one sabretoothed tiger.

curves. Flattering, I suppose, though I’m not entirely sure Ms.Winslet would appreciate being compared to a car with four rumbling exhaust pipes.

The XKR stands out from the colourful fallen leaves, resplendent in white, a car that’s not angry looking but beautiful.

My week’s tester came equipped with the optional Black Package, which adds in various blackaccented aerodynamic enhancements, and 20-inch alloy wheels that are painted bright pink.

Just making sure you’re paying attention — they’re gloss-black, naturally. I’m not sure I’m completely sold on their combination of steel screws and shiny black surface — it’s a bit like seeing Her Majesty wearing a biker jacket — but it’s optional anyway.

Environment Much like the pub down

the road from where this car is built, everything inside the XKR has a certain old world charm, and some of it probably needs replacing. If we’re pulling at threads, the steering wheel looks a bit outdated, and for such a big car, it’s pretty close quarters in here.

Also, the touchscreen navigation system is slow to react and looks dated.You can tell that this car is half a decade old.

However, the seats are excellent, very comfortable and fitted with full adjustability including variable side bolstering. It’s

not an option either, the standard seats are excellent.

And while there’s a lot of shiny piano-black plastic, the rest of the car’s inside looks just right for this price range.

The shifter is a pucksized disc of metal that rises up from between the seats when the starter button is pressed.You twist it to go into gear: it’s a bit theatrical, but theatre is what this car is all about.

As the XKR is nominally a 2+2, it does technically have rear seats.These are almost completely useless — the only way your kids

would fit in there is if you had them dehydrated, ground into powder and then vacuum-packed into five-pound bags.

Happily, the trunk is surprisingly spacious, and should easily accommodate both the luggage required for a weekend getaway, and whatever bits of leftover offspring remain.

Performance The Jaguar XKR comes with a 510 horsepower supercharged V-8. Sorry, that should say, the Jaguar XKR “goes” with a 510 h.p. supercharged V-8. It goes.

Cor blimey does it ever!

Jaguar claims a 0-100 kilometres per hour time of something like four and a half seconds for this big GT, but that’s not the really impressive bit. It’s the phenomenal shove from that big blown eight that’s simply stunning. Roll-on acceleration is outstanding — you feel like you’ve just lit the fuse on the world’s biggest Guy Fawkes firework and are along for the ride.

The rumble that accompanies this rush ain’t half bad either. It’s a lusty growl that’s just the sort of soundtrack you want for a car with a leaping cat emblazoned on the rear.

The Jag simply explodes down the road like a steam locomotive escaped from the tracks.

And then you ask it to turn.There’s grip. Even with Vancouver now fully ensconced in wet-weather season, there’s still plenty of grip. Sadly, it’s just not enough.

If you put the XKR in Dynamic mode, it’s all too easy to get on the throttle a bit too aggressively, and then watch out — you’ve

got a tiger by the tail.

The back end steps out, swinging around until the traction control steps in and stops the fun.Well, not fun exactly. It’s all a bit lairy and hairy for the public roads.

It’s a big car this, and if you’re brave enough to turn off traction control, there’s a lot of pendulum to catch.

Beneath the leather-lined luxury lurks the heart of an absolute beast, and it’s not necessarily interested in making friends with you.

In short, it’s a bit badly behaved which, for a Jaguar, is exactly what you want.

Features The XKR is very well equipped right from the get go, with the only options on my tester being the aforementioned Black Pack at $4,700, a no-cost black headliner, $200 for stainless steel pedals, and a $300 charge for a heated windshield. I would leave the last out: it’s a unique feature, but it does interfere with night time visibility.

Navigation, Bluetooth, those adjustable seats — everything else is standard on the car; that’s the way it should be in the luxury car segment, but not always the way it is.

Fuel economy is officially rated at 13.9 litres/100 kilometres city and 9.2 l/100 km on the highway. Ha! As if. Driven gently, the highway mileage might not be too bad, but the city fuel consumption is . . . well, supercharged V-8, whaddya expect?

Green light Styling; acceleration; comfortable cabin and roomy trunk — grace, pace, and space.
