Binning House sale halted

Heritage advocates celebrate court decision JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

Heritage advocates are applauding a B.C. Supreme Court decision that has put the brakes on the sale ofWestVancouver’s Binning House byThe Land Conservancy to a developer until other options are examined that could preserve the house for the public.

“It’s a significant reprieve,” said Adele Weder, a heritage advocate who has been involved in efforts

to promote the Binning House as a key part of West Coast modernist history. “It showed the law had teeth.”

Weder said she hopes the halt to the sale will provide a chance for other groups interested in preserving the Binning House for the public to join forces and come up with a viable plan.

The Land Conservancy acquired the heritage home in 2008 from a society set up by executors for Jessie Binning’s estate.

Since then, however, the conservancy’s financial troubles have snowballed and it was put under creditor protection in October.

Facing pressure from its creditors to pay back $7.5 million it owes, the conservancy announced See Binning page 11

Medicinal grow-op raided in Caulfeild BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

WestVancouver police are investigating a sizable marijuana grow-op in a Caulfield area home.

Police responded to a call Tuesday afternoon for a report of a gas odour coming from the home on the 4600-block of Woodgreen Drive — a home police were already familiar with because of a Health Canada licence to grow up to 161 medicinal

marijuana plants on site.

Fortis BC technicians found and secured a gas leak in the home but West Vancouver officers, who accompanied them to check that the leak didn’t present a hazard to anyone else in the home, found the grow-op was about five times too big.

Officers came back on Wednesday with a search warrant and found 810 suspected pot plants and 62

WV approves IB at Cedardale

Integration with French immersion a B.C. first JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

A French immersion school inWestVancouver is hoping to become the first elementary school in the province to combine French immersion with an International Baccalaureate program.

Ecole Cedardale will be applying for acceptance into the IB program this spring, following approval of the plan from the West Vancouver board of education this week.

If approved, school staff hope to begin teaching the IB curriculum as a candidate school in September.

School principal Michelle LaBounty said Cedardale’s staff and students are excited about the prospect about becoming an IB school.

The IB program stresses global citizenship, problemsolving across different academic subjects and strong social responsibility.

If approved by the International Baccalaureate authorities, Ecole Cedardale will become the third West Vancouver elementary school to offer the curriculum — it is currently offered at Cypress Park and West Bay schools — but the first to combine it with French immersion.

The IB program’s emphasis on taking cues from students is appealing to both staff and families of children who attend the school, said

Parents whose kids attend Ecole Cedardale tend to be “educated parents,” she said. “They’re looking for a program that will inspire their children.

Victoria Naranjo is a parent who is enthused about the prospect of Cedardale becoming an IB school. She likes the idea of building on the inquiries of students themselves and developing students who can “articulate and promote change in society,” she said.

The decision to pursue an

IB designation for Cedardale has followed a lengthy consultation process with staff and school families.

Finding a high-profile “theme” for the school that would help keep and attract enrolment was first identified as a goal a year ago during a review of French immersion programs in the West Vancouver school district.

As a smaller and more-recently established French immersion school, Cedardale has sometimes struggled in the shadow of Pauline Johnson, which has about twice the enrolment of Cedardale’s approximately 200 students.

An IB program may keep

students at Cedardale and attract students from other areas, said LaBounty. About one-third of the students at the school come from outside of West Vancouver.

After examining several options for the school, including an emphasis on digital technology, an outdoor school and a partnership with a not-forprofit agency, the parents and staff opted to pursue the IB program as the best fit with both the French immersion program and the values of the school community, said LaBounty.

That the IB curriculum is already available in French made that doubly attractive.

If accepted, the school will begin working with the International Baccalaureate organization in September, with the hopes of becoming a full IB school the following year. Once the IB program is underway, parents will pay fees of $400 per year to enroll their children.

Staff has begun their IB training, said LaBounty.

As an early French immersion program, the school generally accepts new students in kindergarten and Grade 1 only.

Enrolment for next year’s kindergarten class has already happened, but the school is keeping a waiting list, said LaBounty.

Tugboat sinks off Point Atkinson A 74-foot tugboat sank to Davy Jones’ Locker, just offWestVancouver’s Lighthouse Park early last Friday — the second time the boat sank in three days.

The Elf initially and inexplicably sank in the Mamquam Blind Channel in Squamish Jan 14, spilling 1,500 litres of diesel and oil.

Canadian Coast Guard units contained the spill before it could travel into the environmentally sensitive north end of the channel.

The Elf’s owner paid a contractor to raise the boat using a barge and crane.

“Two separate marine surveyors conducted some surveys and their inspection showed no obvious cause for why the vessel sank and so it was deemed safe to tow.The reason for towing was to bring it to the Fraser River for further examination at a shipyard there,” said Dan Bate, coast guard communications officer.

“The vessel left Squamish (Thursday) night under tow and around 5 a.m. the vessel ended up sinking in 120 metres of water. . . .

Fortunately, there was no loss of life or injury during that event, which is good.”

Because the Elf has now sunk so low, there are no plans to recover it, but that could change if the wreck becomes an environmental hazard.Transport Canada conducted flyovers of the site about 2.5 km south of Passage Island to look for more fuel leaks but found none.

Site cleanup concluded Monday.

Beasley Block proposal recalls boomtown JULES KNOX ContributingWriter

After a public hearing Monday, City of North Vancouver council passed a bylaw rezoning the west side of the 100-block of Lower Lonsdale to allow for a six-storey mixed-use development.

The proposal includes 69 residential units, street-level retail, the preservation of an existing heritage building and office space.

It will also include five below-market living units for people with disabilities, a pedestrian mews and three levels of underground parking. Staburn Property

Group, the developer, will make a $75,000 public art contribution.

The Beasley Block, home to Moodyville’s cafe and part of the heritage restoration, is one of the oldest surviving buildings in the City of North Vancouver. “It’s a very rare example of the boomtown-type commercial architecture,” said Michael Epp, a city planner.

A 1904 photo of the original buildings served as inspiration for the proposed design, said Keith Hemphill, partner at Rositch Hemphill Architects. “We looked at those buildings to help us to define the kind of character that would go into it.”

E2.,14Q#3 749793.S [94 2X\ <\.3S\` <S9+T& fb=h8 EC]]cf8: As the development moves up the hill from the heritage building, its facade is broken into large segments, he said.The concept implies that the building has grown up over time, as opposed to

one brand new building, Hemphill said.

“As we get to the top of the hill, the building transitions into a much more contemporary look,” he said.

The character of the proposed building has been

well received by the public as well as advisory committees, Epp said, adding that the proposal meets the city’s objectives of encouraging residential growth in the city centre, conserving heritage resources, and increasing the supply of office space and non-market housing.

The current zoning limits the height of the building to 40 feet, but the official community plan for the site allows for heights up to 60 feet, Epp said.

Staburn will receive density bonuses for employment-generating office space, the preservation and restoration of Beasley Block and affordable

housing.

Although there was little opposition to the design of the building, some businesses are concerned about their future in the complex.

“The businesses that are affected by this development should know that if they wish to come back, they can come back,” said Kerry Morris, speaking on behalf of Moodyville’s cafe.

“We’re asking if council can consider pushing Staburn to a more formal process where the businesses that are affected can, if they choose, come back,” he said, See Rooftop page 4

A4 - North Shore News - Friday, January 24, 2014

Rooftop patios ‘disruptive’ From page 3

noting that an oral statement is not enough.

Jeff Wren, a developer representative for Staburn, said that if an existing tenant is able to pay the market rate for the space, they will be given priority.

Pam Seale, a neighbour of the proposed complex in Lower Lonsdale, expressed concern over the impact of rooftop patios. “We know this is going to be very disruptive, especially because what’s being pitched is six separate socializing areas that are going to be set up right outside our living spaces.

The beneficiaries are really the developer who can charge a bit more for those units and the individual that purchases the unit,” she said.

Coun. Pam Bookham noted that it’s ironic

that council is granting additional density for employment generation as local businesses are forced from their affordable leased space and unlikely to return.

“I’m concerned about the business community in Lower Lonsdale and I wonder if we’re contributing to the problem by developing at the pace we’re developing,” she said.

However, higher residential density attracts more businesses, said Coun.

Craig Keating. “Small businesses depend upon the fact that there is a vibrant residential neighbourhood,” he said. “I think that in the long term, that balance between residential and commercial space will balance itself out. . . . It’s not solving anybody’s problems to keep the same crummy buildings that are there now.”

Lions Gate crash driver charged

A North Vancouver driver who suffered multiple broken bones in a head-on crash on the Lions Gate Bridge last month will be ticketed for distracted driving and using his smartphone while driving.

West Vancouver Police said Thursday their investigation into the crash — which closed the bridge for one and a half hours Dec. 3 — has led to an allegation the driver was using an electronic device when he drove on to the Stanley Park causeway, shortly before the accident.

Police have no evidence the driver was actively using his smartphone to talk or text at the time of the crash.

28-yr-old NV man ticketed for using smartphone

The driver, a 28-yearold man from the North Shore, is still recovering from his injuries, which included fractures to his arms, legs and pelvis, said Const. Jeff Palmer of the West Vancouver Police Department.

Police were called to the mid-span of the bridge around 8:05 a.m. Dec. 3 after a northbound ’92 Acura Integra driven by the North Vancouver man crossed over into a southbound lane and hit a ’11 Acura MDX. West Vancouver Fire and Rescue crews had to use the Jaws of Life to cut the driver out of the northbound vehicle. A North Vancouver couple in the southbound vehicle were taken to hospital for observation.

Palmer said a driver doesn’t have to be actively texting or talking to be ticketed for using an electronic device while driving — a person only has to have the smartphone in their hand.

The ticket carries a $167 fine while driving without due care and attention carries a $368 fine.

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.

Charitable act S

core one for heritage preservation in the province of B.C. In a surprising decision Wednesday, a B.C. Supreme Court justice refused to do what was widely expected and rubber stamp the sale of West Vancouver’s historic Binning House to a development firm owned by Bruno Wall.

Wall offered the financially beleaguered Land Conservancy $1.6 million, which would have helped the conservancy get out from under its mountain of debt.

But as heritage advocates, the province and municipal lawyers told the judge, convenient as it was, that’s not what the donation of the Binning House was for.

The court case has been the first real test of whether the Charitable Purposes Preservation Act had the teeth to actually protect donated assets from later falling into private hands with no caveats about honouring the intent of the donation.

MAILBOX

It’s heartening to see the goals of the act upheld in the judgment this week.

While Wall had pledged to restore the home to its original glory, he refused to consider any legal requirements to keep it open to the public.

In a time when there’s fading hope that public interest can be considered on a level playing field with the wealthy and big business, this is particularly refreshing.

The judge told the conservancy this week it had to do better than take the first unsolicited offer that came along. But this only goes part of the way to resolving the question of what will happen with the home considered to be the genesis of West Coast Modern architecture.The Binning House still needs expensive repairs and a new owner willing take it over and honour the intent of preserving it for the public.

But those who value heritage must know — the time to step up is now.

‘Best’ rescue team is leader’s legacy Dear Editor: We have lost someone special.

I somehow missed the news of the past few days — until this morning, when I picked up the newspaper and read that Tim Jones had died. I felt like someone had punched me in the stomach.

I never had the chance to meet him. Many who did likely owe their lives to him and the North Shore Rescue team. But I know of him, through his many

appearances on TV, and his many quotes in the papers: speaking about a recent rescue, using the moments to share tips on how to stay safe in the woods, and publicly insisting that there not be a charge for their rescue services.

I feel I know him. He is a legend on the North Shore.

I have always felt safer when hiking in the woods, knowing we, the North Shore, could lay claim to the very best rescue

team, likely in the world, right here, in our own neighbourhood. I have often wished I had been fit enough, courageous enough, and selfless enough to become a volunteer with North Shore Rescue, and in some small way, give back to the community I call home.

Too many times to count, I have seen the rescue helicopter circling the mountain tops, in search for someone.

All of the people who

are living today because of Tim, all of the people who have been touched by the work of the North Shore Rescue, we must do something to remember this life. This man.

I am struck with grief knowing that he is no longer with us.

I ask and urge every single one of you to do something right now, to help remember Tim Jones: whether with a donation, or volunteering for the North Shore Rescue team,

or starting a petition to name a building, a street, a community centre, a hospital wing after him — something — so that when future generations ask, “Who was Tim Jones,” his story will continue.

And I hope that every single person who lives here on the North Shore will remember him, his teachings, and enjoy the woods, safely, and give to each other, completely.

Joy Fai North Vancouver

Tim Jones a hero who risked his life to save others Dear Editor: We use the word “hero” often when referring to a famous person known for athletic or political

success, but really it should be used for people like Tim Jones and his crew at North Shore Rescue that risk their lives daily

CONTACTUS

as volunteers to make our lives safer. It is with great sadness that I read of his death. I was privileged to spend one long Saturday

each July for the last 10 years working with his team on the trails on the North Shore mountains.

I will remember Tim as

being humble, respectful, passionate, dedicated and yes, in every way a “hero.”

Greg White Vancouver

Super yachts come and go, towers stay Dear Editor: You have published two letters about the super yacht Attessa IV. One against stated the yacht disrupted his water view. One for stated it enhanced the area. Well, Attessa IV comes and goes.

What cannot come and go, if built, appeared in the Jan. 15 North Shore News. That’s the Polygon proposal for a 17-storey building at the foot of Lonsdale at Site 8. That would block views of Attessa IV and much more.

It would dramatically change the block’s character. Why can’t we keep heights to the OCP? Robert Thompson North Vancouver

Transit referendum looming large Premier Christy Clark’s plan to hold a referendum on how to fund transit in Metro Vancouver is shaping up to have a far-reaching impact few may have foreseen when it was first attached to the B.C. Liberal election platform.

Before last spring’s election, that platform was viewed as a grab bag of ideas of a party that was heading for electoral oblivion. But the B.C. Liberals’ surprise victory meant the platform’s contents suddenly became very relevant, and a transit referendum went from what at first looked like a throwaway idea to a political reality.

And now I think it’s fair to say a number of Metro Vancouver mayors are getting a little freaked out about the whole thing.

Although we have yet to see the referendum question itself, it’s a fairly safe bet it will include at least one option for raising money (i.e. taxes or user fees) to pay for transit and transportation projects.

And that means it

Keith Baldrey

View from the Ledge

could easily be seen by voters as a some kind of thinly-disguised tax grab.

Things will get very sticky for mayors if they declare their support for a mechanism to raise money on the backs of voters to pay for the transit projects they’ve been pushing for.

A basic rule of thumb seems to be that Metro Vancouver residents want more transit and less congestion on the roads, but want someone else to pick up the enormous tab that goes with those desires.

We’re talking about spending about $20 billion over the next few decades, which isn’t exactly chump change. And that means any revenue measure (or

measures) to pay that kind of bill would have to be substantial.

While most mayors agree there is a desperate need for more transit, they don’t agree on which projects should be a priority nor do they agree on how to pay for them.

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts, for example, has long advocated for a road pricing system which would slap small tolls on almost every bridge but she has yet to win much support from fellow Metro Vancouver political leaders.

So the stage is being set for the referendum becoming a political orphan, with very few politicians taking ownership of it. So far, at least, Clark continues to leave the impression she wants the mayors to step up and champion the “yes” vote while she remains in the background.

But with the referendum date tied to the municipal elections in November, what are the chances many mayors will advocate for a tax measure when there is a real

chance their opponent in a mayoralty race takes the “no” position?

In fact, will an actual tax revolt emerge instead?

Given the bruising experience of the ill-fated HST and the entrenched crankiness of voters when it comes to tax hikes and user fees, I’d guess the potential for one being created by the transit referendum is very real.

And that may further send a chill down many mayors’ political spines.

A wild card factor in this increasingly messy business may be

Transportation Minister Todd Stone. Unlike his premier, Stone has said he intends to aggressively campaign in the referendum.

Stone has been doing his homework on this issue. He’s studied more than 60 similar referendums in the United States, and he knows referendums only succeed with a fair amount of legwork and campaigning over a long period of time.

Unfortunately, Stone may have left things too late. The recently successful campaign in

Road sensors installed in Lynn Valley Technology helps crews manage ice and snow ANNE WATSON awatson@nsnews.com

The District of North Vancouver is hoping innovative technology will help combat some of its slick winter roads.

Road condition sensors, installed this year at the intersection of Ross Road and Mountain Highway in Lynn Valley, use infrared technology to measure road surface temperature, making snow and ice removal more efficient.

“We’re one of the first to have this type of technology.

We’ve been dealing with snow and ice for a number of years, obviously, and the problem we’ve had in the past as temperatures have fallen is we rely on weather forecasts to help us predict what’s expected in terms of the cold weather,” said Erik Bayfield, streets manager for the district. “What we’ve been finding though is that the air temperatures that the

Bayfield said air temperatures often differ by a few degrees from the road surface temperature.

“Timing is everything. If we go too early, we waste the salt because what it does is it lands on dry road surface

and is blown away by all the passing traffic (and) it ends up against the curb and goes down the drains,” he said.

Bayfield said the sensors relay the road’s surface temperature in real time, so crews can more accurately predict when the road is about to freeze, saving money in overtime costs and avoiding problems with

inaccurate weather forecasts.

The sensors, installed on traffic signal poles, shoot infrared beams down onto the road and analyze the surface. Bayfield said it analyzes a number of different factors.

“It picks up the road’s surface temperature and it also picks up the road’s state,” he said. “It sends that

data back to us through a decision-making tool and . . . we actually get alerts as well, so we’ll get alerted when the temperature of the road freezes and also if conditions change.”

If it should suddenly start snowing during the night, said Bayfield, the sensors would alert first responders.

“There are a number of us that carry cellphones and so we will get alerted to our cellphone directly,” said Bayfield. “So depending on who is on-call, that person will be able to very quickly jump into a snowplow and get to work clearing the streets.”

Bayfield said this latest technology is an improvement over the previous road sensors that were embedded directly into the road’s surface.

“These things were very unreliable and ultimately you would always have to tear them out because eventually you’ve got to come and re-pave the road or bury a water pipe or something,” said Bayfield.

“It was much more expensive to put these road sensors in the street, so they came up with this more non-invasive way of getting this data. Our number one

priority is we want everyone to keep moving, all the traffic despite severe weather conditions but we want to do it in the most cost effective way possible.”

The sensors cost $28,000 including the installation, data software and upkeep.

Bayfield said the district estimates about $50,000 would be saved this year alone.

“We basically have paid for everything for the first two years and then the cost of running will be about $1,000 a year,” said Bayfield, noting that the district will save on the cost of road salt. “We’re already finding that we’re using about 10 to 20 per cent less salt. By being able to delay our responses, essentially with this tool we’re taking a lot of the guesswork out of what to expect with the changing weather.”

The district is planning on installing the sensors at two more intersections next year, one in Upper Capilano and the other in Deep Cove.

Bayfield said they chose Lynn Valley to start because it tends to be the first to get winter weather.

“It’s a good barometer for us of what’s happening in the district.”

INQUIRING REPORTER Saturday’s UFC event at Rogers Arena shocked spectators by turning into a Canucks game. After tensions ran high during the first second of play, a full-on brawl erupted two seconds in.

Penalties were issued, players ejected, and several Calgary Flames missed appointments with their parole officers.

Later, Canucks coach and noted wallflower John Tortorella belied his timid demeanour by trying to storm Calgary’s dressing room.

Was his six-game suspension deserved, or is the NHL guilty of a rare lapse in judgment?

Binning House in need of repairs From page 1

this fall it planned to sell the Binning House for $1.6 million to a corporation controlled by developer Bruno Wall.

Heritage advocates opposed the sale, and both the province and District of West Vancouver went to court last month to block the sale.

In particular, the province argued the sale would contravene B.C.’s Charitable Purposes Preservation Act and said the Binning House should only be sold or transferred to an organization willing to take on its management for specific charitable purposes.

In a decision released Wednesday, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Shelley Fitzpatrick agreed, writing that the evidence was clear the Binning House was intended to be transferred to the conservancy “on trust for the purpose of its preservation into the future for the public.”

Fitzpatrick ruled the Binning House was transferred for a specific

purpose — “to preserve it for generations to come” — not to serve the conservancy’s general goals.

At the time of the transfer, the conservancy was “well aware as to the basis upon which the Binning House was being transferred . . . the board agreed to accept the donation on that basis,” wrote Fitzpatrick.

Fitzpatrick noted that until the conservancy received the unsolicited offer from Wall’s company this fall, it had not attempted to sell the property or find another group willing to take on the home.

Fitzpatrick didn’t close the door on a future sale or transfer of the property, but made it clear the conservancy would have to look for either a group or private buyer willing to preserve the property for historical purposes as originally intended.

In her judgment, Fitzpatrick noted there will be significant costs to that, regardless of who eventually takes over responsibility for the Binning House.

One inspector who

looked at the house this fall estimated it needed between $150,000 and $200,000 in repairs to prevent further structural deterioration.

“Good intentions are one thing, but they must, at least in this case, be married to a chequebook,” wrote Fitzpatrick.

Weder called the ruling this week “great news beyond the Binning House itself,” adding if the sale “had just been a slam dunk” it would have far-reaching implications for donations of other heritage properties.

The decision forcing the conservancy to look at other options means “there’s an opportunity” to come up with a different solution, said Weder.

Weder said she had previously been in talks with District of West Vancouver when the surprise sale of the home was announced this fall.

John Shields, manager of The Land Conservancy, said Thursday the conservancy’s board is still going through the decision with lawyers and would not be commenting further.

SPIRIT OF THE WEST “Spirit of theWest were popular on the Canadian folk music scene in the 1980s before evolving a blend of hard rock, Britpop, and Celtic folk influences which made them one of Canada’s most successful alternative rock acts in the 1990s . . . In 2008, the band released a 25th anniversary compilation, Spirituality 1983-2008: The Consummate Compendium, on Rhino Records.”

TheWaiting Room celebrates new lease on life

Lucky Mann

■ John Mann: Kay Meek Artists Confidential Tuesday, Jan. 28 at 10:30 a.m. at the West Vancouver Memorial Library; The Waiting Room Record Release at Vancouver’s FanClub, Thursday, Jan. 30 at 8 p.m. Tickets $25/$22; and at West Vancouver’s Kay Meek Centre, Friday, Jan. 31 at 8 p.m. Tickets $30/$25. johnmann.ca.

Following John Mann’s diagnosis with cancer, he took comfort in the countless discussions he found himself engaged in within the confines of hospital walls.

With other men battling the disease as well

as with their spouses who came to visit, “We just ended up having these conversations,” the singersongwriter recalls.

Throughout the two years Mann fought rectal cancer, from 2009 to 2011, those sorts of exchanges were a welcomed part of his day.

“I just started writing, and writing down what we had all been talking about and what we were going through,” says the former West Vancouver resident who currently lives in Vancouver’s Commercial Drive neighbourhood.

In the years since, Mann, who’s currently believed to be cancer-free, has continued to reflect on his cancer journey.

This month, the founding member of Spirit of the West is releasing a new

solo record, The Waiting Room, inspired by his experience.

“It has been a long time and I’ve actually enjoyed a lot of it, not so much when I was in the hospital, but it’s been a neat kind of journey, and talking to other people in their journeys as well,” he says.

Mann hopes the new record resonates with those who’ve similarly been diagnosed with cancer, and that by sharing his story he’s ensuring they too feel like they have someone they can relate to.

“I hope that . . . for some people hopefully it will be solace for them and they will feel like they’re not alone at all because there’s so many people out there with it,” he says.

Mann plans to mark

●

his new record’s official release at Vancouver’s FanClub Thursday, Jan. 30. That show will highlight The Waiting Room’s 10 tracks, “Surgery” and “These are the Instructions” included.

The following evening Mann is set to take West Vancouver’s Kay Meek Centre stage for a longer show, featuring songs from throughout his career.

As part of the Kay Meek show, Mann will give a talk at the West Vancouver Memorial Library Tuesday morning.

Joining him will be his wife, Jill Daum, an actor (Mom’s the Word).

“She has a completely different outlook than I have because I was the person that was in the hospital. Plus she just has a better memory than I

have,” he laughs.

Daum enjoys being able to share their cancer story. “If somebody else is going through it you have something that you can offer them,” she says.

Daum says she’ll often send Mann’s new song, “Thank You” to people who’ve just been diagnosed or who are facing surgery. “The whole world is always concerned with living and then when you’re sick, you’re kind of in a little separate world because you’re in the world of the people that are coping with that. So to have music that reflects your reality is I think a really beautiful gift and so I’m really happy for him that he’s done that,” she says.

Harmony Mountain Singers performing When a handful of local aspiring singers signed up for a harmony singing class at Capilano College in 2003, little did they suspect they’d still be singing together more than 10 years later.

They’ve enjoyed a trip to Cuba, numerous musical parties and forged lifelong friendships along the way.

The choir, originally founded by the teacher of the Cap College class, Dale Rasmussen, now comprises 35 people under the direction of Karla Mundy. Mundy, who has a special interest in roots music and especially Latin and Cuban music, led the choir on a trip to Cuba in 2011 where members sang with Cuban choirs and did workshops with Cuban choir directors.

Why is heart attack the number one killer in this country?

Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack.

Years later Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Noble Prize winner, is ignored for reporting that large amounts of vitamin C and lysine are needed to prevent coronary attacks.

Twenty-five years ago Pauling reported that animals make vitamin C and humans do not. That’s why sailors died of scurvy during long sea voyages, but the ship’s cat survived.

Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Pauling claimed it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack.

Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure.This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proved that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries.

So what has happened to these monumental findings? Bush, like Semmelweiss, has been ridiculed by cardiologists. One has to ask whether cardiologists, by ignoring his results, are condemning thousands of

people to an early coronary heart attack. take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal, for several reasons.

I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking Lipitor. I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications. I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent.

But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus is available at health food stores.

The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop with breakfast and the evening meal.

Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day. If high doses cause diarrhea, the dose should be decreased.

This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. This is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors.

Most of today’s, cardiologists are impervious to persuasion. They continue to believe that cholesterol-lowering drugs are the be-all-andend-all to prevent heart attack. They’ve been brain-washed by millions of dollars worth of promotion by pharmaceutical companies. It reminds me of the saying that cautions “It’s not what you don’t know what gets you into trouble, it’s the things you know for sure that ain’t so!”

It’s time for cardiologists to have an open mind and stop ignoring this research. As for me – I bet my life on it!

They’re an Ethiopian trio carrying centuries of musical tradition.

The Krar Collective is stripped-down and fast.

An ascendant band formed in London, England they combine drums, ululating vocals and the krar.

The six-stringed instrument looks a little like a small harp, but Temesgen Zeleke has electrified it, wielding it like a guitar or a violin as the song calls for. He plucks and strums, sometimes creating a sound reminiscent of traditional Indian music. On a track like “Oromigna” the krar revs

into something you might hear in a spaghetti western movie right before Clint Eastwood empties his gun.

As the band finds its audience and its audience finds them, the krar still draws the most befuddled stares, according to Zeleke.

“Some people they never have seen the krar,” he says.

Despite the wandering nature of many instruments, the krar has remained the nearly exclusive property of Ethiopia.

The band is backed by a wide variety of percussion.

Robel Taye’s drumming is sometimes heavy enough for hard rock while on some tunes his playing is subtle, as soft as rice shifting in a silk purse.

Taye and Zeleke were friends in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia before they each found their way to London.

Zeleke moved to the bustling capital in 2003, the See Group page 28

MUSIC

Secret Society not so secret anymore Darcy James Argue’s contemporary steampunk big band jazz album, Brooklyn Babylon, got a lot of love on year-end critics’ polls including appearing on 14 ballots in National Public Radio’s recap of the best of 2013.

NPR’s Francis Davis says the music created by Handsworth grad Argue, and his ensemble the Secret Society, draws comparisons with the music of Duke Ellington and Charles Ives (npr.org/blogs/-bestmusic2013/2013/12/16/251761 858/the-2013-npr-musicjazz-critics-poll).

Washington, D.C.’s New Republic magazine named Brooklyn Babylon the top album of 2013 beating out Kanye West, Vampire Weekend and

Lorde, among others, for the honours on critic David Hajdu’s Top 10 list.

On top of all that the Secret Society’s release is also nominated for a 2014 Grammy Award in the Best Large Jazz Ensemble category with the winner to be announced Sunday, Jan. 26. The show will be telecast on CBS and Citytv starting at 8 p.m.

Dr. Coe utilizes various methods of testing to determine accurate levels of sex and stress hormones, determines possible food sensitivities, examines thyroid function, and is even licensed to perform acupuncture and intravenous vitamin therapy. “When the body is under stress, our digestion, thyroid and sex hormones are all affected.

The greatest success with respect to well-being is to examine all areas of health.”

areas Dr. Coe treats is hormonal imbalances. Premenstrual syndrome, perimenopause, menopause, and all types of other hormonal imbalances. “If I was to describe the typical patient that comes into my office, she is aged 35 to 70, has put energy into studies, career and family, and she is left with fatigue, depression, weight gain, and difficulty coping under stress. If the body remains under continuous stress, and the proper diet, nutrients, and exercise aren’t maintained, we run greater risk of chronic disease” says Dr. Coe.

Mann developing theatrical project

From page 13

“John’s thing is, he was really lucky. He didn’t have chemo, he didn’t have radiation. He had surgery and he had a colostomy bag for a short amount of time — he doesn’t still have it. He was so lucky, and in a way, the fact that he was so lucky, he can afford to be generous,” she adds.

An actor as well, Mann is currently working on a theatrical show based on his illness also titled The Waiting Room. For the project, he’s collaborating with Morris Panych, a

Toronto-based playwright, actor and director.

“He is absolutely amazing,” says Mann.

“He’s just got a wicked sense of humour and he is just a delightful person to be around.”

The pair is in talks with the Arts Club Theatre Company and the production could see its premiere in Vancouver as early as the fall.

The play will feature music from Mann’s new record, performed by him, coinciding with action on the stage.

When asked how he’s managed to stay positive

following his cancer diagnosis, Mann credits the support of family and friends, and humour, something that comes across on The Waiting Room.

Something else that comes across, his wife points out, is a major lesson learned. “People spend a lot of their time waiting,” she says, whether they’re sitting in a hospital waiting room, or generally in life.

Something they’ve walked away with through their cancer experience is the realization of the importance of

BELIEVE IT? How do Canadians know if it’s true (or not)?

They turn to the trusted source: Newspapers in print, online, tablet and phone.

And, research finds that they trust the ads there too – more than those in any other medium.

Be where Canadians look.

transitioning from someone who simply waits for things to happen in life to someone who instead lives in the moment.

They’ve learned, “To stop waiting for things to happen and to live that day,” she says.

Apart from promoting his solo effort, Mann is also gearing up for a St. Paddy’s Day show with Spirit of the West at the Commodore Ballroom on Saturday, March 15.

Opening the show will be Dustin Bentall & the Smokes.

Gabrielle already a winner

■ Gabrielle. Written and directed by Louise Archambault. Starring Gabrielle MarionRivard and Alexandre Landry.

Rating: 8 (out of 10) JULIE CRAWFORD ContributingWriter

Canada’s submission for Best Foreign Language Film at this year’s Academy Awards is Gabrielle, an ordinary and extraordinary love story.

Gabrielle (Gabrielle Marion-Rivard) lives in a group home for developmentally challenged adults but desperately wants what other young women her age have: independence, a family, true love. She has already found the latter in Martin (Alexandre Landry) a fellow singer in her choir.

But love and sexuality among the intellectually disabled is a tenuous topic. Everyone from the couples’ social workers to See Film page 26

Film structured around Gabrielle’s spontaneity

From page 24

their respective families weigh in on their fitness for a sexual relationship.

Gabrielle’s sister Sophie (Melissa DesormeauxPoulin) is pleased for Gabrielle; on the other side of the spectrum is Martin’s mother, who asks pointblank if Gabrielle has been sterilized.

Sophie is Gabrielle’s advocate, her cheerleader and, occasionally, her reality check. One day she leaves Gabrielle to fend for herself in the apartment to show her that she can’t leave the group home and live alone, with near-tragic results.

But if Sophie is Gabrielle’s crutch, the dependence goes both ways: Sophie’s all-encompassing role as caretaker may be stopping her from making the leap to move to India with her beau. Sophie just can’t cut the cord.

The love story takes place as an important concert — the Mondial Choral summer festival — looms. Quebecois singer Robert Charlebois will be the guest performer with

HB@*$,CC,%( *V4\+294 c91V3\ =4+X.R,.1S2 /.3 VQ37V4\* ,` c\3 b13\3( . b9Q24\.S .423 +\Q24\ 2X.2 24.VQ3 *\0\S97R\Q2.SS` *V3.,S\* 7\97S\ VQ 09V+\( *.Q+\ .Q* *4.R.& ]g_D_ EC]]cf8: Gabrielle and Martin’s choir and is eagerly anticipated by its members.

Martin singing Charlebois’ “Ordinaire,” a song about yearning to be heard and understood, is one of the film’s more touching moments.

Landry won Best Supporting Actor in a Canadian Film by the Vancouver Film Critics Circle earlier this month for

his endearing performance as Martin.

On and off screen Gabrielle has Williams Syndrome, which, among other things, predisposes people to an affinity for music and perfect pitch. Director Louise Archambault was inspired

by Les Muses, a Montreal arts centre that trains developmentally disabled people in voice, dance and drama. Archambault eventually abandoned the framework of her original idea, including a professional lead actress, and structured much of the film around Gabrielle’s improvisation and spontaneity. Several supporting actors in the film are also from Les Muses.

At times the feature film plays like a documentary about the myriad ways in which we marginalize people outside our definition of “normal.”

Gabrielle also very movingly conveys messages about the transformative power of music and the need of everyone to be loved.

same year Ethiopia suffered its worst drought in decades.

“I moved to London because I was not really happy about Ethiopian politics at that time,” Zeleke says. “The situation was not good.”

After arriving, he ran into Taye. A few years later Zeleke met Genet Assefa and the band was complete.

“She’s a very wonderful singer,” Zeleke says. “We met her in the club, and when I saw her the first time I was very interested in doing a show with her.”

Genet often shows incredible power. Her singing is remarkable on “Ambassel,” which rhapsodizes Ethiopia’s mountainous region.

Unlike most of the group’s repertoire, the song has a mournful tune.The instrumentation is spare and Genet’s voice is high and big, filling the soundscape.

Zeleke’s playing on “Ambassel” keeps the song in the groove. He picks his spots for brief krar improvisations before settling back into the pocket.

Zeleke learned the krar from Mulatu Astatke, and the jazz influence is clear.

Perhaps Ethiopia’s most famous musician, Astatke is a composer who has used conga drums and the vibraphone to create slow grooves that could almost be part of a Miles Davis session.

“He was encouraging me and supporting me,” Zeleke said. “He did a lot for me to become a great musician.”

The band has been

compared to The White Stripes, but their sound is much bigger and most of their songs are longer.

On a track like “Guragina” the band goes all out for six minutes.

The ululating vocals sound Middle Eastern but the rolling rrr’s are straight out of Jackie Wilson.

The group’s sound is practised but not polished.

Their exertion is sometimes audible in the heavy breaths they take as their songs near their climax.

“We share ideas, share culture,” Zeleke says. “Even about the food.”

While they play the songs, the band explains about the music, about the culture and traditional songs about love and the beauty of Ethiopia.

Speaking to the North Shore News from Los Angeles just moments before soundcheck, Zeleke talks about the possibility of a new direction.

“Right now we are starting to write our own songs and we create our own meaning,” he says.

Whatever the band does, they’ll be tied to Ethiopia.

Approximately 80 languages are spoken in civilization’s cradle, giving the group a seemingly endless supply of information to draw from.

“I miss Ethiopia all the time,” Zeleke says. “The good thing is I can go any time now.”

The band has brought their sound to Sweden, India, Norway and Ireland.

“Everywhere when people hear our traditional music, they are really very happy,” Zeleke says.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE

to FASHION & STYLE

Look stylish, keep cosy

Dear Mattie: How can I keep warm and be fashionable this season?

Chilly in Cypress

Dear Chilly: This season, it is very easy to keep warm and be fashionable.

Many different styles of outerwear are about making personal statements and staying cosy. Gone are the days when you had to be cold to be in fashion.

The coat has become an accessory to your outfit, the finishing touch.Your outerwear makes the first impression, every time. Sometimes it is the main piece of clothing people will see. It doesn’t matter what you are wearing underneath, unless of course you are taking off your coat.

Outerwear is so popular that many textures are also in fashion. From classic styling to trendy technical fabrics, there is something for all of our lifestyle needs.

The classics are back in fashion. Sophistication is the theme. The trench coat, the duffle coat, the camel singlebreasted coat, the houndstooth double-breasted coat and the navy pea coat are all in fashion.

They can be worn in their traditional colours or stepped up to new modern colours.

Aubergine, charcoal, hunter green, red, cobalt blue and pink are some fantastic new colours that I am seeing in outerwear.

Colour-blocking is trendy, as well as bold plaid patterns in large and small checks. There is something for everyone’s mood.

There is also an exaggeration in the volume and lines of the classic silhouettes. Traditionally, coats are tailored and fall from the hip to the mid-thigh. This season, some coats are longer than usual, they are oversized, or cropped, still maintaining a structure. The silhouette of the coat is a reflection of how cold

it is in the city you live. The styling can be adapted to your particular environment.

Don’t worry, not every coat this season falls in the traditional category. There are many textures that are in fashion for ladies who like luxury. Although wool keeps you very warm, lined leather, shearling, mohair and faux fur are trendy options for your outerwear.

The trendiest two coats are the mohair and faux fur.

Mohair coats usually come in a non-neutral colour. Faux fur either looks like fox, mink or thick shaggy mohair.

Luxury can also be found in casual sports jackets with techno fabrics that are lightweight, but still keep you warm on and off the ski hills.

Many of these jackets have bright and bold colours with sheen.

Now that you have your outerwear in order, add some accessories to finish the look.

I am a big fan of knit beanies.

They come in every colour and variety. Buy a few, in neutral and bold colours. Woven wool scarves are also a favourite of mine. Get a couple, in a neutral colour, animal print and a bold floral arrangement.

The same goes for gloves.

Traditional leather to graphic printed fleece is the way to go.

With just a few accessories, you can mix and match to make your coat a new personal statement every time.

The mantra this season is to know who you are and show it.

Since it happens to be a season of great coats, and everything is on sale, why not step it up a notch and complete your ensemble with finesse.

Historical fashion and music merge CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

Audiences are invited to step back in time this weekend at a unique mixed presentation of period fashion and classical music.

Lions Gate Sinfonia presents Music and Fashion: Signs of the Times on Sunday, Jan. 26 at 3 p.m. at Centennial Theatre in North Vancouver.

Noted fashion historian Ivan Sayers will be on hand to showcase and provide commentary on a selection of garments from his collection dating from 1750 to 1950.

The matinee presentation will also feature five young members of the Donna Fishwick Piano Ensemble.

Angela Hu, Brandon Jong, Ryan Zhu, Jasper Liang and JasperYoo — all of whom will soon be making their Carnegie Hall debuts — will each perform a movement from piano concertos by Haydn, Beethoven, Grieg and Rachmaninoff.The program also includes Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story.

“I cannot believe our great luck,” said Lions Gate Sinfonia founding conductor and music director Clyde Mitchell in a press release.

“When we chose these five young musicians, I knew they were wonderfully talented, but I had no idea that all five would be on their way to Carnegie Hall.”

The fashion segment of the performance will complement the musical

AVOIDING 6 MISTAKES RETIREES MAKE WITH THEIR FINANCES TOPICS: Helping couples blend their plans

Baja By Day

by Sarah Bancroft

In Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, this year’s trends include green margaritas, Mezcal tastings, and parrotfish at the ceviche bar.

stay

Greeted with a refreshing cilantro margarita, you know you’ve arrived in style at Esparanza Resort. Airy rooms have private outdoor hot tubs or hammocks, and the pool extends infinity-style over the beach. With a focus on health and wellness, complimentary breakfast includes chlorophyll water (another trend we saw this year) which we highly recommend following the invigorating morning yoga or bootcamp on the beach. www.esperanzaresort.com

do

While it is tempting to stay seaside, venturing inland to Flora Farms for a cooking class is a highly recommended diversion. Wander the manicured paths among the organic vegetables, tour the gorgeous straw-bale Culinary Cottages for purchase or rent, and take a class in the open air kitchen where you might learn to make corn tortillas and authentic salsa from a Mexican chef. In high season, there are movie nights where classic films are played on large screens and the wood-burning pizza oven is put to good use. www.flora-farms.com

spa

The Auriga Spa greets you with a refreshing green smoothie and healthy snacks determined by the phase of the moon. Start in The Grotto, where you cycle between sauna, steam and ice rooms, quenching your skin with fresh aloe vera leaves. A foot bath with fresh herbs follows, in keeping with the spa’s philosophy of traditional folk healing methods, or “curanderismo.” A local healer can be called upon, or book with one of the talented massage therapists in a private room overlooking a saltwater meditation pool.

In her new tome, The Body Book, Cameron Diaz shares her experiences for a healthier, happier, fitter life.

If you’re like us, fake eyelashes are usually reserved for special events (think hot dates and girls’ night out), mostly because it’s tedious to apply and remove them.

But thanks to Benefit’s They’re Real mascara we are rocking the big, beautiful lash look daily.

DATE: February 5th, 2014 - 6:30 - 7:30pm West Vancouver Seniors Centre 695 21st Street - West Vancouver - Marine Room

And we must say, it’s actually a breath of fresh air from the sometimes eye-rolling, out-of-touch celebrity lifestyle books. Diaz has an enviable body and an effortless California-girl thing about her so we were intrigued to find out her secrets.

This miracle mascara is basically an every-day substitute for fake eyelashes and packs a double punch with volume and length. We also love the tiny bristles on the edge of the brush to get those small inner lashes.

Thankfully, we didn’t find suggestions for crash diets or ridiculous detox cleanses, but instead helpful, realistic advice like how to sneak in exercise throughout your day and chugging a huge glass of lemon water first thing in the morning to kick start your day.

Now those peepers pop. $29 at Sephora.

B is for Basics

Lunch on the Green

While we all love fancy kid’s clothing, the most frequently worn items always end up being the simple, comfy ones.

Head over to the West End’s Nicola Street, with its charming heritage homes and boutiques, then stop for a lunch at the neighbourhood’s newest resident, the Greenhorn Espresso Bar. From the outside it blends in with the surrounding shops, but step inside and the high ceilings, massive red chandelier, distressed wood tables and stylish crowd scream Portland-cool.

It’s not easy admitting your bad habits, but Sean Parrinder wants to know.

Sean is my personal trainer and confidante for the day at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler. He bears a passing resemblance to Justin Timberlake and I like that he doesn’t appear to be judging me.

“My body’s a temple,” I want to say. “A temple subjected to repeated bouts of vandalism at the hands of microbrewers and artisan bakeries.”

Instead I tell Sean: “Every year it’s the same.

January rolls around and I follow my wife to the gym with extra pounds and good intentions.Trouble is I just meander from machine to machine, avoiding eye

contact and wondering what the levers and pulleys do.”

Sean nods. “And then what do you do?”

“I walk the treadmill until it’s time to go.”

Sean applies his kinesiology degree and love of sport to helping kids and adults achieve fitness goals. At this time of year, his services are in demand as part of the Fairmont’s Breaking Bad Habits Whistler Getaway, a new year’s kickstart for that ageold resolution of getting fit.

Among other treats, the package includes an ‘energizer breakfast’ of strawberry and banana smoothie with dates, bee pollen, honey and orange juice, along with a toasted bagel with cream cheese.

And there’s a Detox Body Wrap at the Vida Spa. But now is the hard part.

We’re in the discovery process of Sean asking me about my fitness goals and the habits I aim to break. I tell him that I need process, not procrastination; method, not mediocrity.

Sean understands. He tells me to leave cardio till last and begin with tougher compound exercises, designed to work out multiple major muscle groups.We’ll focus on a lower range of repetitions – from five to eight – but increase the weight each time. Finally, we’ll monitor our rest periods and focus on breathing.

I warm up on the rowing machine and try to ignore Matt Damon staring at me from the cover of Men’s Fitness.We move on to the seated leg press – a machine I actually know how to use.You just sit down with your knees to your chest and straighten your legs by pushing away a weighted See Make page 36

Over a delicious dinner, Dialogues will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. members of the North Shore community will come together to discuss how to make our neighbourhoods Choose to attend ONE of these sessions: more welcoming and inclusive to newcomers. This series of dialogues are being organized by the North • Cazba: February 3rd Shore Welcoming Action Committee (NSWAC) with support from the North Shore Neighbourhood House.

• Sushi Nami: February 24th CommUNITY will be hosting three evening dialogues with local ethnic restaurateurs. The dialogues titled • Shanghai Village: March 4th Building North Shore Communities: A Dialogue Over Dinner will kick off February 3rd at Cazba restaurant (at 132 W 16th St, North Vancouver).

Registration required. Contact: Cheryl McBride, North Shore Neighbourhood House “New Census data tell us that immigrants account for 36 per cent of the North Shore’s population – that’s 604 724 1504 cmcbride@nsnh.bc.ca one third of the population,” says Jody Johnson, Project Coordinator, NSWAC. “Yet many people are not Liz Chase, North Shore Neighbourhood House sure what they can do to welcome new immigrants. This not only affects newcomers who may not feel they 778 840 6670 lchase@nsnh.bc.ca belong, but it impacts the overall health of the community.”

At each Dialogue Over Dinner, the restaurateur will share food from their country of origin along with their personal story of what it took to settle on the North Shore – from how they started their business to challenges and achievements they’ve experienced along the way.

Johnson says, “Each story will provide a starting point for dialogue about the issues immigrants face when they arrive.”

Participants will explore the role individuals have in creating workplaces, neighbourhoods and communities that are genuinely welcoming and inclusive. Anyone who may benefit from this FREE professional development opportunity is encouraged to register.

Workplace Diversity and the Immigrant Workforce

The CommUNITY:

Join the North Shore Welcoming Action Committee (NSWAC) and keynote speaker, Trevor Wilson on the importance of immigration on the North Shore.

The world-renowned author and global human equity strategist will review how falling fertility rates and aging baby boomers are contributing to a rapid decline in the supply of skilled labour in Canada.

The North Shore’s competitiveness will depend on how well local employers attract, integrate, and retain immigrant talent.

Trevor Wilson is a leader in the field of diversity, inclusion and Human Equity™. He is sought for his knowledge and expertise but also for his style. In June 2013, Wilson launched his latest book The Human Equity™ Advantage: Beyond Diversity to Talent Differentiation.

Making the North Shore more Welcoming

Making the North Shore a more welcoming community for newcomers is the main priority for CommUNITY, a project by the North Shore Welcoming Action Committee (NSWAC).

plate.The most I’ve ever pressed is 140 pounds, yet Sean starts me on eight reps of 180, eventually rising to eight at 200.

During the course of an hour, through lunges, squats, back extensions, and bar curls, Sean pushes me harder than I ever would have pushed myself.True, there are times when I want to punch him, but we high-five as I complete my final exercise; three sets of dips — gripping parallel bars, lowering my body so my arms are at 90 degrees before pushing my body up again. I learn which of my muscles are benefitted by each machine and feel better prepared for my next visit to the gym. But my excitement at completing the circuit is tinged with embarrassment.

I realize I’ve been a bit of a wuss until now.

Ninety minutes later I’m acutely aware of the muscles I’ve worked.They’re aching, but I couldn’t be in a better place.Vida Spa claims to restore energy and promote well-being via a range of therapies, facials, wraps and exfoliations.

The Breaking Bad Habits package includes an hour of the latter. As I’m rubbed down with course sea salt I can’t help thinking of an old soccer coach who used to recommend a meat pie and a pint as the best postexercise routine.

After a quick shower I’m back on the massage table for a full-body application of shea butter and a scalp massage. My body has almost forgotten this morning’s workout. I feel like a basted turkey. Blissed out, I’m reluctant to leave the table but I’m instructed to take another quick shower. I return for a classic massage. Face down and somewhere near nirvana, I realize my body almost does feel like a temple!

I cap my afternoon’s decadence in the Fairmont’s Health Club, alternating between the sauna, steam room, hot tub and pools. I ponder how jealous my wife will be when I tell her about the shea butter, the scalp massage . . .

Sean spots me and recommends that I take a cold shower after each session in the sauna and steam room. “Always finish cool,” he says.

■ New on the hills Saturday, Jan. 11 will live long in the memories of those who skied or boarded Whistler-Blackcomb. Half a metre of snow overnight made for some epic downhill and, unfortunately, some epic crowds.With most of the alpine closed for avalanche control during the morning, lineups grew.

Those who braved the wait and the impromptu snowball fights were rewarded with afternoon runs to remember.

On Blackcomb, most of the crowds were heading to the Crystal Ridge Express — one of two new lifts at the resort.The high-speed quad north of the old Crystal Chair ascends to the Crystal Hut, home of Whistler’s best Belgian waffles. If it’s not the waffles people come for, it’s Crystal Zone’s sumptuous cruisers and glades.

The Crystal Ridge Express increases uphill capacity by 65 percent — just as well on days like January 11.

On Whistler Mountain, visitors heading to the alpine Harmony Zone can get there quicker on the new Harmony 6 Express.The high-speed, six-seater lift replaces the old quad chair and ensures fewer lineups en route to Harmony’s 1,200 acres above the treeline. Lift capacity is increased by 50 percent.

The new lifts are part of the resort’s $18-million capital expansion plan this winter. For more information about what’s new at Whistler, visit whistlerblackcomb.com.

Trio accompanying the choir From page 15 of mojitos.

“It was just an amazing experience,” says choir member Linda Bates.

“There were so many memorable times, but my favourite was when we met with an amateur choir made up of music teachers at 10 a.m. in a closed nightclub. We were having lunch together at noon, but after we sang for them and they sang for us there was still 45 minutes

left, so the young teachers put on salsa music, each of them took the hand of one of us, and they taught us Cuban salsa dancing. By the end of the session we formed a long conga line and danced through the club, including the kitchen where they were preparing our lunch.”

There will unfortunately be no Cuban songs performed at the concert on Jan. 30 (nor any mojitos), but there will be songs by contemporary

songwriters like David Francey, Paul Simon, Billy Joel and Gillian Welch, as well as traditional songs.

Mundy, who does almost all the arrangements, has a special talent for choosing lush, complex harmonies.

Mundy’s arrangement of his songs caught the attention of awardwinning Canadian singersongwriter David Francey, who has asked Mundy to publish a book of arrangements for his songs.

Accompanying the choir

will be jazz pianist Michael Creber and local North Shore musicians Tim Tweedale on dobro and Patrick Metzger on bass.

Sharing the bill is another of Mundy’s choirs, Home Cookin’.

The concert will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 30 at St. Clement’s Church in Lynn Valley, 3400 Institute Road. Suggested admission is $10 with all proceeds going to the Stephen Lewis Foundation.

F-150 rocks a new kind of metal BRENDAN MCALEER ContributingWriter

A biweekly roundup of automotive news, good, bad and just plain weird:

Design The more one looks at the Volvo S60, the nicer it seems. It’s approachable, and friendly faced. No need for any of your blitzkrieg Teutonic aggression here, the S60 is a welcoming shape anchored by that signature diagonally slashed grille.

Yes, the box is long gone, but this car’s new duds have a little of that same Scandinavian charm.The press release says that the new hood, front fascia and fenders are more muscular, but that’s not really what’s on display here.While the mostly Germanic competition postures and

Ford’s aluminium F-150 challenges body shops, junkyards Don your tinfoil hats, here comes the 2015 Ford F-150, and it’s mostly made from aluminium.While the best-selling vehicle in North America has had some aluminium body pieces for years — notably, the hood — this is the first time the truck will have the material forming most of its skin.

Lighter than steel, but just as strong, aluminium is quite expensive, and difficult to form. It is, however, very recyclable and the potential weight savings are huge. Ford isn’t announcing any figures for their next-generation F-150 just yet, but curb weights should be down significantly, and payload and fuel economy up.

However, the decision to make the single most popular vehicle in North America out of aluminium is going to have some longlasting repercussions.This is

S60 a sensible Swede

Ikea’s tagline, as far as I can remember, is something like, “Ikea: Swedish for common sense.”

I’d humbly suggest that it might more accurately be: “Ikea: $0.99 hotdogs and $15.99 bookcases, both self assembly, both compressed particle board.”

No, it’s Volvo that’s really the company that’s Swedish for common sense. For years, they’ve been building very safe, very comfortable cars that are good in the snow and about as durable as a lump of granite.

However, some time ago, Volvo decided it wanted to be a luxury brand, and therein followed much

design studio frippery and many advertisements featuring people with blond hair and black turtlenecks.The brand shifted upmarket, leaving behind the boxy image and attempting to embrace a

new, more stylish future.

Mostly, this ploy didn’t really work, but at least the company did better under the Ford umbrella than Jaguar did. As the rumour goes, for every dollar that Volvo brought in, Jaguar lost two.

But I digress.These days,Volvo has a full two decades of luxury aspirations under its belt and has just refreshed their mid-size sport sedan. It also says here on the specs that this particular example has 325 horsepower — good grief! That doesn’t sound very Volvo-ish, nor does this car look very Volvo-ish. Just what are the Swedes up to this time?

scowls,Volvo’s offering tries to look angular and pretty, rather than simply angry.

Having said that, it is just a tad anonymous. Say what you’d like about the old Volvo bricks of the past, but at least you could tell they were Swedish from half a mile away.The V60 shares its front-wheeldrive architecture with the European-spec Ford Mondeo, and it shows.

Particularly in a neutral colour, like silver or white, the S60 blends into the background a little. My tester looked a little more forward thrusting thanks to an optional set of 18inch alloy wheels, but even the most snarly R-design editions are reserved.

Well, good. No Volvo should be the equivalent of the foam-jawed pitbull, snarling and lunging with a giant chrome grille and improbable sideskirts.This is a good looking car, not an attack dog on low profile tires.

THE ADVANTAGES OF SYNTHETIC MOTOR OIL. In extremely cold weather, synthetic oil is simply better. Originally engineered for military applications, the controlled chemistry and purity of synthetic oil means that it protects your engine the best, when you need it most. Even at incredibly Low temperatures, synthetic oil remains viscous, allowing it to immediately flow to and protect the critical components of your engine during the harshness of those cold weather starts.

continues the theme of reserved-rather-than-raving with a simple layout that’s ergonomically sound, and maybe just a little bit dated.

The “floating” dash that once seemed so forward thinking is now old hat compared to the cockpitstyle layouts of modern mid-sized luxury.

However, the seats — a sport option, in this case — are really comfortable, and have surprisingly good bolstering.There’s not as much space out back as could be wished for, particularly for adults, but up-front passengers have a nice throne-room in which to tick off the miles.

The S60’s centre stack has actual buttons and knobs on it, and functions in a way that might remind you of a time when phones were meant to be phones rather than portable entertainment devices.

Everything works in the way you’d expect — it’s as if the car was designed to be a car first, and a mobile distraction device not-at-all.

So, no touchscreen inputs, no haptic feedback nonsense, no sliding multi-

touch inputs. Frankly, it’s the better for it, and while you won’t wow passengers with a high-tech floorshow, the S60’s intuitive layout is something of a relief.

And speaking of wowing passengers. . . .

Performance On the trunk of this tester is a tiny blue square, denoting that the car has been reflashed with Volvo’s Polestar performance software. I know what you’re thinking: “performance software?

Isn’t Volvo more about the advanced airbags and collision avoidance side of things?”

They are, and you can load up the S60 with any number of clever crash reduction technologies.

However, whoever had spec’d out my modestly equipped test vehicle had chosen to spend their money on Swedish speed instead.

Polestar is the tuner company that knows just how to squeeze more turbocharged power out of See Surprising page 45

Friday, January 24, 2014 - North Shore News - A45

REV

Surprising speed from S60 From page 44

Volvos, and has been doing so for years. While their covered-under-warranty upgrade doesn’t have the insane power levels of some of the concepts that Polestar has built, it does mildly bump the power of the S60’s turbocharged straight-six to 325 h.p. and 355 foot-pounds of torque.

Thrust is managed by a six-speed automatic transmission with available paddle shifters, and gets to the ground via a Haldex all-wheel-drive system.

The latter has the ability to shunt power to an outside wheel while cornering.

The result is some seriously unexpected Swedish speed metal.

Sucked in by the Volvo’s unassuming demeanour, a foolhardy poke on the pedal suddenly unleashes Ragnarok — with big torque, minimal lag and sticky all-wheel drive, the V60 has a holeshot that’d leave a rear-drive M3 momentarily scratching its head.

That straight-six, by the way, was co-developed with Porsche, and has excellent power characteristics. If there’s a complaint to be made, it’s that it’s almost too twitchy, and that your average Volvo buyer would be far happier with the more sedate T5.

Then, when it comes to cornering, the frontdrive bias of the S60 battles a certain amount of nose heaviness — it’s really quick, and there’s plenty of grip through the corners, but it’s not quite a backroad corner carver.

Blame the standard nonsport suspension perhaps.

Even so, that compliant suspension gives a smoother ride than some other contemporaries, and the car is extremely planted with the all-wheel drive.

It’s a luxury sports sedan, not an autocrosser, but the surprising reserve of turbocharged power can’t help but put a grin on your face.

Features In a market where it’s entirely possible to spend upwards of $70,000 on a BMW 335i with all-wheel drive, the S60 is something of a bargain. Keep the options light, and standard features include the usual luxury amenities and unexpected ones like sport seats and paddle shifter for the T6.

As you’d expect, the S60 is an absolute tank

in terms of safety ratings, beating the IIHS scores of everything from BMW to Audi. If that’s not enough, you can add an optional pedestrian and cyclist detection system that will warn of impending collisions, and even automatically brake to avoid them.

The S60 also gets the full suite of traction control and dynamic stability aids, and visibility enhancing features like blind spot monitoring and a rearview camera are on offer. The entry level Premier Plus package found on my tester included keyless go, leather seating, and a power moonroof, but also integrated a fenderbender-eliminating system called City Safety that automatically brakes to avoid a collision below 31 kilometres per hour.

When it comes to fuel economy, that big turbocharged straight-six is no lightweight. Official figures are set at 11.7 litres/100 kilometres city and 8.0 l/100 km highway.

While a standard T6 will run on regular fuel, the Polestar version should really see premium, and mixed-mileage driving netted a real world figure close to the in-city mileage.

Green light Handsome looks; smooth ride; responsive turbocharged engine; excellent poor-weather performance.

BMW driving pleasure.

Bimmer has done a lot of work to make their car more comfortable, and as a result, it’s a more digital experience than you’d expect, especially as regards the steering.

Even so, this is the mainstay of the mid-size luxury market, and the Volvo is very much an alternative to it. While the Swedish option will never be the volume seller, perhaps its quirkiness is reason enough to look at something other than the Bavarian benchmark.

In fact, there are almost a dozen ways to spec your 3, and only the top trim levels have some of that quintessential

Mini wins big in gruelling Dakar rally From page 43

no limited production Audi R8 — nearly a million F150s were sold in the U.S. and Canada last year.

As you can’t really take dents out of an aluminium door panel (think of trying to smooth out a sheet of tinfoil), insurance rates for the truck are going to go up. More problematic, not all body shops have the particular tools to work with the material, meaning that those that do are going to get a lot busier.

a-part is going to change too. Aluminium is worth far more than steel as a recyclable material, and as more manufacturers follow Ford’s lead, there’ll be less scavenging at junkyards as wrecked cars go straight to the crusher and the recycling line.

It’s not all doom and gloom however, just a change in the traditional model brought about by some long overdue progress.

How Ford’s gamble will pay off in the years to come isn’t clear, but it’s worth watching.

Alessandro Zanardi climbs back in the racing seat Alessandro “Alex” Zanardi is an Italian racing driver with a superhuman urge to compete.

Successful at the pinnacle of motorsport – Formula One – Zanardi also won two CART championships and even has his own racing manoeuvre.

The Zanardi Line, as it’s known, involves divebombing the competition through one of the most well recognized turns in the world: the Corkscrew at Laguna Seca. Now banned, Zanardi pulled this inside pass to take the win in 1996, cementing his reputation as a risk taker and champion.

Then, in 2001, tragedy struck as Zanardi was involved in a terrible crash that resulted in a double leg amputation. For a normal person, this would be the end of any motorsports competition.

Not only did Zanardi bounce back to the track, racing a touring car again just a few years later and testing a Formula One racer fitted with hand controls, he took up the sport of hand cycling, and recently took home two Olympic gold medals at the London Paralympics.

Once again, the unstoppable Italian is getting behind the wheel of a racing car fitted with special controls, a BMW Z4 GT3. Zanardi will be racing full-time in the Blancpain Sprint Series, starting in April.

Mini rallies to victory at Dakar With gents like Paddy Hopkirk at the wheel, the original Mini Cooper was an unlikely rallying success in the 1960s.This plucky little car out-handled the big boys, and scrappily took home trophy after trophy.

These days, of course, Mini doesn’t have anything like the same competitive spirit, right? I mean, they’re all about selling fat little crossovers like the Countryman and really expensive, BMW-built, upscale compact luxury.

Um, no, actually. At this year’s incredibly gruelling Dakar rally in South America, a Mini team came

first. And second. And third.

Sweeping the podium is no mean feat, and to pull it off after driving across nearly 10,000 kilometres of sand and gravel is extremely impressive.The trio of Mini ALL4s crossed the Andes, deserts filled with treacherous dunes, and plains strewn with pointy rocks.

Naturally, you can’t really buy a Mini that’s spec’d appropriately to handle desert crossings down at your local dealership, but it’s nice to know that they haven’t lost their touch.

Nissan mulling Datsun 510 successor The pair of IDx concepts shown at the Tokyo and Detroit auto shows looked suitably futuristic and improbable, but there are plans afoot. According to Nissan product planner Andy Palmer, Nissan might actually build this car.

In shape, the IDx looks a little like the mini-muscle of the old Datsun 610, a cousin of the 510. Based on industry scuttlebutt, the enormous amount of interest that the car is generating is causing Nissan to weigh options for building a rear-wheeldrive, lightweight sedan, something that hasn’t really been seen for years.

The 510 made Datsun a success, perhaps even more so than the svelte 240Z. While the latter was a style icon, the 510 was a car you could actually afford and haul the family around in.

It was a Japanese answer to lightweight German rivals like the BMW 2002, and it has a cult following even today.

While the IDx concepts are chunky two-door coupes, there’s some hope that the car won’t end up as another 2+2 sports car to challenge the Scion FR-S, but emerge as a lightweight sports sedan, perhaps powered by Nissan’s peppy 1.6-litre turbo. Even though it’s just rumours at this point, it’s good to know that manufacturers seem to recognize that there’s a need for smaller, lighter cars that capture some of that oldfashioned driving fun.
