Locals line up to speak on pipeline NOPE among those OK’d to address National Energy Board

BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

Three North Shore governments, two First Nations and two citizens groups received the OK to address the National Energy Board before

it makes a decision on Kinder Morgan’s application to nearly triple the capacity of its Trans Mountain pipeline to Burrard Inlet.

The NEB released its list of just roughly 400 people and groups granted intervener status

at the hearings, which are scheduled to start in the fall of 2015.

Squamish and TsleilWaututh First Nations join the City and District of North Vancouver, the District of West Vancouver, environmental groups T. Buck Suzuki Environmental Foundation and North Shore No Pipeline Expansion and private citizens Brahm

Miller and Tarah Stafford.

Several other B.C. First Nations are represented

by Lower Lonsdale law firm Ratcliff & Co., which specializes in Aboriginal law.

While other groups on the list plan to speak about environmental and climate change risks posed by pipeline expansion, NOPE founder and Deep Cove resident Janice Edmonds

said her group will focus on the risk posed to human health, should there be a spill of diluted bitumen, either from a tanker or at the Westridge terminal in Burnaby.

“When people think about the spill, they think about the environment.

Everybody can visualize the oil on the beach and the ducks and all of that but they’re not thinking

about the evaporation of those chemicals that are coming off the diluted bitumen.”

Because of the local climate conditions, chemicals in a spill, like benzene and hydrogen sulfide, would become trapped under denser air above, leaving the toxic pollution stuck in the See Flotilla page 5

Aquilinis partner with First Nations in land deal JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

The Tsleil-Waututh and Musqueam First Nations announced this week they have partnered with the developer Aquilini Investment Group in the purchase and development of Burnaby’s Willingdon Lands.

“What I’m hoping to provide are economic benefits for the future,” said Tsleil-Waututh Chief Maureen Thomas.

“We’re buying land that was originally ours to start with,” she added. “We don’t want to miss these opportunities.”

Lifeguard awarded for bravery Medal recognizes student’s heroic actions in summer lake rescue CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

Ever since he became a lifeguard five years ago, Daniel Zayonc has had trouble relaxing at lakes.

The water is murky, there can be steep drop-offs and the swimming area is often unsupervised.

So, when the 21-year-old North Vancouver resident found himself at the edge of Lake Kathlyn in Smithers, B.C. on a particularly hot day last July, he was immediately on alert.

Zayonc, who is studying biology at SFU, had taken a break from his job working as a lifeguard and swim instructor at West Vancouver Aquatic Centre to take a position as an environmental services co-op student with a consulting company. After a long day of bushwhacking and lugging heavy gear in the field, he and his crew lead Gerrit Velema decided to cool off in the nearby lake.

Upon their arrival, Zayonc’s lifeguard instincts took over.

“I noticed a kid away from his parents, kind of on his own,” he recalls. “He was a little kid, maybe four years old, so not very tall.”

He estimates the boy was approximately 10 metres from shore.

“He was about chest deep and I’m like, ‘What is this

guy doing, and where are the parents?” Zayonc says.

“He didn’t look scared at that time, but then he started getting deeper and deeper.”

Before he knew it, the child was up to his neck.

Suddenly, the boy’s head disappeared below the surface of the water and he began “ladder-climbing” — a telltale sign of drowning.

“It’s almost like they’re trying to climb a ladder,” Zayonc explains. “His arms were almost reaching out of the water, but his head was totally submerged and he wasn’t going to get back up.”

There was no time to hesitate. Zayonc charged into the water and scooped up the youngster without a second to spare.

“It only takes 15 to 30 seconds for someone to drown,” he says. “The water clarity wasn’t that great, so say he went down within those 15 seconds — no one would have been able to see him.”

Zayonc located the mother, a ways down the beach, and delivered the boy safe and sound.

“The mom was pretty embarrassed because she had no idea what was going on,” he says. “I don’t even know if she said ‘Thank You.’” But his quick actions See Lifeguard page 5

City hears coach house pros and cons Market analyst weighs in on laneway homes debate BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

Plunking down coach houses on single-family lots might be in ideal way to keep family close by, but it won’t make your property fetch more on the market and it won’t result in a higher tax assessment.

Those are two conclusions offered

by Paul Borgo, deputy assessor with the BC Assessment Authority, and Paul Sullivan, a market analyst with expertise in property taxes and

appraisals.

City of North Vancouver council invited Borgo and Sullivan to speak on how allowing coach houses and secondary suites on singlefamily lots, as proposed in the draft official community plan, would affect tax assessments.

Council watcher Kerry Morris had been collecting signatures for a petition calling on council members to reject the proposed OCP based on the worry BC Assessment will burden homeowners with higher appraisals due to the development potential of city properties.

By his estimates, every single family homeowner would experience a $650 to $1,000 bump on their tax bills.

While the draft OCP does foresee allowing

Property deemed ‘surplus’ by province

both secondary suites and coach houses, it would not allow an increase in density on a single-family lot, meaning the primary home on the lot must be smaller because the square footage must be shared between the two buildings.

“From the perspective of density driving value, because there is no increased density, I would project no increased value due to that. It simply isn’t occurring,” Borgo said.

Much of Borgo and Sullivan’s presentation was clarifying the often murky waters that is property assessment vs. tax rates vs. the amount owing on a city tax bill.

Properties are assessed on their land value as if nothing is built on it, and additionally on the “improvements” of the home itself. A local

government then uses those assessed values to set tax rates. If a home’s assessment goes up more than the average assessment, the owner can expect a higher tax bill.

“Assessment is separate from the tax rate,” Borgo said. “Prudent councils adjust their budget for their needs and they adjust their tax rate too.”

As there is no evidence building coach houses increases value, developers aren’t keen on including them in developments, because they tend to be more cost and trouble than they’re worth, according to Sullivan.

Sullivan presented council with some data he collected observing the sale prices of properties, with and without coach houses, in Vancouver where property owners are

allowed extra density on their single-family lots if it comes in the form of a coach house.

“You can see a bit of a trend. Not too much of a spread if any.

“I can tell you from the one laneway (house) I built, I would never do it again. They’re an extraordinary cost per square foot because there are no efficiencies.You have to upgrade your sewer, water, electrical, your access, your parking. “ They’re difficult to build and the price per square foot to build them can be almost double,” he said, noting that the City of Vancouver expects coach houses to cost $240,000 to $270,000 to build.

valuable.”

So far there are no plans for the site, which includes 40 acres between Brentwood and Metrotown, directly adjacent to BCIT. “It’s a prime site,” said Cook. “There’s lots of opportunity.”

The province announced two weeks ago that the Tsleil-Waututh and Musqueam had bought the property at Willingdon and Canada Way for $57.9 million, but didn’t mention the involvement of the Aquilini Group at the time.

The property is among the land the province deemed “surplus” and decided to sell last year in an effort to balance the provincial budget, aiming to bring in approximately $500 million by the end of the 2014/2015 fiscal year.

The land deal was a direct sale, permitted under government policy that allows such sales to First Nations or partnerships in which First Nations have a controlling interest.

The Musqueam,TsleilWaututh and Aquilini Investment group are all now one-third owners in the partnership that owns the property. A deal involving the Musqueam, Tsleil-Waututh and Squamish Nations to buy the province’s Liquor Distribution Branch warehouse on East Broadway is still being finalized.

The Aquilini Group is not currently involved in that deal, although neither Cook nor Thomas ruled that out as a possibility. “We don’t own it,” said Cook. “Would we like to?Yes.They’re exploring their options.”

For at least the next three years, the province will continue to lease back both the Willingdon and Liquor Branch properties.

Both parcels of land will be owned fee simple (freehold) and will be subject to regular municipal zoning processes.

As part of the process of selling “surplus” lands, the province also recently paid $24 million to the three First Nations in an “accommodation agreement,” under which they agreed to give up their land claims to 27 properties owned by the province in the Lower Mainland.

Thomas said the TsleilWaututh used that money towards purchase of the Willingdon property.

Laneway homes can appeal to empty-nesters From page 3 foot goes down if the property has a laneway house, according to his study.

While they might be a mortgage helper, homeowners don’t necessarily want to make the sacrifices that come with coach houses in exchange for rental income, Sullivan said.

“You give up things when you build laneway houses.You give up your backyard.You give up your garage.You give up some privacy,” he said.

The main exception where coach houses prove worthwhile, Sullivan noted, is when emptynesters want to downsize while passing on their homes to their kids looking for space to raise a family of their own.

To assist in their submission to the board, NOPE has hired a Simon Fraser University professor with degrees in medicine, epidemiology and toxicology as well as a data scientist to do a probability analysis of the likelihood of a spill, using the data in Kinder Morgan’s application.

“We don’t want to be a real radical kind of group.

We want to educate and inform and find out the real truth about these pipelines. We believe this is not the right thing to do,” she said about bringing another, bigger pipeline through the most populated area in Western Canada.

The three local governments are now doing research to frame up their submission, including cost estimates.

This Saturday, North Shore NOPE members

are sending protesters in a flotilla of canoes and kayaks to join an event in Burnaby. They are gathering at Cates Park between 1 and 2 p.m., with the lead TsleilWaututh canoe departing for Burnaby at 2:30 p.m.

If Kinder Morgan’s application is approved, the existing Trans Mountain pipeline will be twinned with a larger pipe running along roughly the same path.

Total capacity of the pipeline will be 890,000 barrels per day, resulting in about 34 aframax oil tankers being loaded and traversing the Burrard Inlet per month.

On March 29, Zayonc was awarded the Silver Medal for Bravery at the 102nd Annual Commonwealth Honour and Rescue Awards, presented by the Lifesaving Society B.C. and Yukon Branch.The medal acknowledges water rescues involving “significant acts of bravery,” according to the Lifesaving Society website.

“It feels great,” Zayonc says of the recognition, adding that he is thankful his former co-worker and rescue witness decided to share the story. “If it wasn’t for Gerrit the story wouldn’t have come out and it just makes me want to recognize other people.”

Despite his shiny new hardware, Zayonc maintains the modesty of a true hero.

“I don’t think this story is all that brave, because I’m a lifeguard,” he says. “Gerrit makes it sound a lot more heroic.”

Mother corpse P

erhaps reality TV shows and Kevin O’Leary weren’t the Canadian cultural touchstones and content cash cows the CBC hoped they would be.

The public broadcaster announced Thursday it would be cutting 650 staff to make up for a $130-million shortfall, thanks to losing the NHL broadcast rights, lower than expected ratings and good old-fashioned government cutbacks.

This “starve the beast” mentality is being sold as fiscal prudence in an age of austerity but on a per-resident basis, the monthly subsidy for the CBC works out to about $2.70.

By contrast, if you’re excited to see what Trevor Linden is going to do with the Canucks in the next couple years, Rogers is going to require that you hand over a small monthly fortune to subscribe to their premium

sports channels.

Some, however, are gleeful at the blood on the floor at CBC. It is frequently the target of accusations of left-wing bias because its reporters have the audacity to run stories about climate change, or attempt to ask questions of Stephen Harper.Those same CBC opponents probably don’t recall when many of those same reporters led the charge against the Liberals during mid-2000s sponsorship scandal when $100 million in taxpayer dollars disappeared into Liberal-friendly ad firms.

The fact is, the Mother Corp., as they call it, has provided tremendous value whether you’re into sports, arts, knowing about government shenanigans or moronic reality TV shows starring Kevin O’Leary.

And every time we cut from the CBC, the whole of Canada shows the scars.

once a Vancouver institution.

Nearby Waggott Seafood had already closed.

Peter Black the butcher and the British Newsagent are just memories — the latter, providing the most lively and people-friendly corner in the whole centre, has been reborn in North Vancouver’s pleasant Edgemont Village.

You may prefer the new, narrower White Spot — assuming you can reach it through the strangled traffic and construction — to its more characteristic building at Taylor Way and Marine Drive. I don’t.

All part of the owning Lalji family’s ambition to make Park Royal a regional, not just a West Vancouver, shopping centre.

In a harshly competitive business, Park Royal’s Extra Foods definitely is your grandmother’s somewhat dowdy

1940s-era supermarket — full disclosure, I own both Loblaw’s turgid stock and corporate parent Weston’s decent bonds — but it has its appeal. Such as the amazing bargain of a big loaf of French bread for a loonie or less (94 cents last weekend) that my millionaire friend Stan F. and I love; bananas a quarter cheaper than anywhere else; the well-regarded President’s Choice line, including a big 300-gram bar of French chocolate for four bucks and breakfast cereals that compete flake-to-flake with Kellogg’s.

Somewhere in the Internet world there’s a Californian who is so “hopelessly addicted to President’s Choice Memories of Szechuan peanut sauce” that she’s required every Canadian friend to bring her a bottle or two when they visit.

And speaking of Szechuan, Park Royal southside Asian food-focussed Osaka has a zealous clientele.

Attractive grocery, but not my choice — I tend to avoid looking into the eyes of lobsters awaiting a boiling death. People-level Kin’s Farm Market has long been many shoppers’ store of choice for produce.There’s also a stratospherically upmarket grocery store in the south-side Village. I went there. Once.

The sensational West Van success is H.Y. Louie’s yearold Fresh St. Market — also owners of Marketplace IGA at Marine and 25th — so cosy, inviting and friendly it hugs you when you walk in.

Our table is regularly blessed with its delicate Dover sole, highly recommended.

The Louie family has sold groceries for 111 years and their experience shows.

Hmmm. I wonder why

town hall gave Fresh St. a fresh, handsome new setting as well — an extravagantly wide north sidewalk that squeezes vehicle traffic, with no pullout for buses. Part of Ambleside rejuvenation, I guess.

But local convenience enjoys a head start, and the Caulfeild Safeway continues to draw our own modest day-to-day patronage. I didn’t set out to plug certain products, but why not?

Safeway’s Lucerne-brand yogurt at two 750-gram tubs for five bucks is far and away a value leader, and even more so Lucerne’s old white cheddar cheese, at $1.79 per 100 grams, shames other stores’ cheeses costing twice as much.

Can’t give advice on top cuts of beef.Too rich for pensioners like me. Damn, another disclosure: Last fall See News page 7

VIEWPOINT

Health-care changes paying off in B.C. Have we finally wrestled that voracious gobbler of tax dollars — the public health care system — to a standoff, if not to the ground?

By that I mean the days of the system automatically devouring increasingly large amounts of money every year to feed itself may be drawing to a close, at least in British Columbia.

Of course, I don’t mean the health care system will stop being the biggest area of government spending by far (the health care budget this year is pegged at $16.9 billion, out of a budget of $44.4 billion).

But the rate of growth in spending is slowing down significantly.The annual hike is down to 2.6 per cent this year, compared to just several years ago when it was more than five per cent.

Now, there are those who think this is bad news. After all, shouldn’t we be plowing even more money into the system rather than less? If we don’t, won’t health care standards suffer?

The answers are: a) not necessarily and b) no.

The ideological defenders of the public health care system (who think the answer to everything is to blindly spend gargantuan amounts of more money) think the only measuring stick worth anything is per capita spending. In other words, B.C. should spend more dollars per person than anywhere else, and things will take care of themselves.

But those with experience in the system, who study it and come up with good ideas for change, point to another and far better measurement: health outcomes.

And in that regard, B.C. ranks the highest in the country.While we sit second-

Keith Baldrey

View from the Ledge to-last in per-capita spending (only Quebec ranks lower) we beat most other provinces in all kinds of areas: best cancer survival rates, lowest heart attack rate, longest life expectancy, lowest smoking rate, lowest infant mortality rate, etc.

When it comes to wait times for certain surgeries (an admittedly frustrating situation for many people on those wait lists), they’ve been mostly going down and not up.The median wait time for a hip joint replacement has declined to 13 weeks from 19 weeks over the last 10 years, while a knee joint replacement has gone from 25 weeks to 18 weeks over the same period.

None of this is to suggest the health care system does not need constant upkeep and reform (crowded emergency rooms, for example, seem to be a chronic problem, and we could always use more nurses). But it is encouraging that blind yearly spending hikes are being replaced by newer, innovative ways of spending that are both efficient and lead to healthier outcomes for the users of the system.

Not being able to count on big increases in funding every year has brought some much-needed discipline to the system, and employing

some different models has also helped.

One of the most significant changes that is paying off is the government’s relationship with doctors.

In the past, physicians were viewed as costly, self-interested cogs in the system. Now, however, they are viewed as equal partners who have real responsibilities when it comes to running the health care system.

For example, several joint committees have been established with the Doctors of B.C. (formerly called the B.C. Medical Association) where doctors and the government shape policies that are aimed at improving patient health, rather than protecting the financial interest of either party.

One committee is for general practitioner services (overseeing improvements to the primary care system), another is for specialist services (aimed at improving access for specialist care) and a third is for shared care (focused on better integration of all levels of care).

As well, something called the Divisions of Family Practice has been created.

It links family doctor practices and is designed to improve common health care goals in a particular region (improved maternity coverage, for example).

Committees such as these were unheard of a decade ago.They appear to be improving patient care by focusing on smart, evidencebased decisions rather than on simply demanding more money, either for doctors’ pay packets or a health authority’s budget.

Violent spree brings more jail time for sex offender JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

A man who went on a spree of violent attacks in July and August of 2009 has been sent to jail for more than nine years — on top of the four he’s served — and deemed a long-term offender.

The designation means he will be closely monitored for 10 years after he gets out of jail.

Justice Barry Davies handed the sentence to Sean Richard Funk, 39, last month following a series of hearings in B.C. Supreme Court.

Funk was sentenced after pleading guilty to six offences, including several violent attacks on women.

In B.C., those included threatening a woman at a tanning salon in North Vancouver, then progressed to violent sexual attacks on strangers in both Squamish and Ladysmith and holding up a gas station on the Island Highway.

After he was arrested, Funk also confessed to violent crimes he committed that summer in Manitoba.

Psychological assessments entered in the sentencing hearing painted Funk as a “moderate to high risk”

for sexual violence in the future, fuelled by his need for power and control, substance abuse and unresolved issues towards women.

Funk’s violent spree started July 1, 2009 in Winnipeg when he approached a 19-year-old woman working at a gas station with a knife and demanded money. She handed over $200.

Two weeks later, on July 13, 2009, Funk went into a tanning salon in Winnipeg with a knife and demanded cash from the 26-year-old woman who was working there. He then ordered her into the laundry room and sexually assaulted her.

A few weeks later, on Aug. 7, 2009, Funk walked into another tanning salon — this time in North Vancouver — and demanded cash from the lone female employee. He took off. But his violent attacks weren’t over.

On Aug. 27, 2009, a woman was sleeping alone in her car in the parking lot of a recreation centre near Squamish, when Funk smashed the car window in, hit her and drove her to a wooded area where he repeatedly sexually assaulted her.

On Sept. 26, 2009, Funk broke into an unlocked

home of a stranger in Ladysmith at 3 a.m. Once in the house, Funk made his way to a woman’s bedroom, choked her and forced her to have sex before she was able to grab her cellphone and scream for her daughter to call 9-1-1.

On Oct. 17, 2009, Funk held up the Petro Canada gas station on the Island Highway, demanding money from the 21-year-old woman working there.

Funk’s victims were traumatized by his attacks on them. One woman indicated “she no longer feels safe in any situation in which she does not have an escape route,” according to court documents, while another said she no longer walks alone after dark.

Funk was eventually caught in November 2009, when a woman in Regina — who had learned through media reports that police were looking for Funk — called police to say he was living with her daughter.

Funk’s troubled childhood included alcoholic parents and a home life characterized by violence, poverty and drug abuse.

After he was arrested in Regina, he told police, “I feel bad. I never wanted to do this stuff . . . none of it was planned.”

Crown counsel Nicole Gregoire asked that Funk be declared a dangerous offender, which would have allowed him to be locked up for an indeterminate length of time. But Davies ruled Funk’s sexual violence appears to have been triggered by substance abuse and severe depression.That could likely be treated with “medication and intensive counselling,” he determined.

Davies decided Funk should be declared a longterm offender instead.

System has changed From page 7 provinces and the federal government died last week.

It means Ottawa will be cutting in half its annual transfer of money to pay for health care.

The fact the B.C. government hardly said a peep about the accord’s demise is evidence of how much the system has changed in the past few years.

I on the Sky tells an adult story for kids

Perfect storm

■ I on the Sky, presented

by DynamO Théâtre in collaboration with Centennial Theatre and Presentation House Theatre, April 16-18 at Centennial Theatre, 2300 Lonsdale Ave., North Vancouver.Tickets and info at phtheatre.org or centennialtheatre.com.

CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

When performing artist Yves Simard is on tour and starts to miss home, he looks to the sky for comfort.

“Wherever I am, the sky will always be the same,” says Simard, who for the last six years has served as co-artistic director of Montreal-based DynamO Théâtre, a company known for its acrobatic movement

DEATH DO US PART `<k7 !O

●

and clowning productions.

The ever-present nature of the sky is something Simard recalls first taking solace in a few years back while on the road in NewYork City.

At a moment when he felt particularly far from home, he gazed up, high above Central Park.

“The sky over me is the same over my family,” he mused.

This thought planted the seed for what would eventually become I on the Sky, the first production Simard has written and directed for DynamO. Premiering in 2011, the show explores themes of loss and exile.

“The story is very simple,” Simard explains.

“It’s the story of a young woman who left her country because of war and she’s arrived in a new country.”

BASE CAMP `<k7 !M

●

I on the Sky stops at North Vancouver’s Centennial Theatre April 16 to 18, just a couple of weeks after celebrating its 100th show in Saskatoon.

Like other DynamO productions, it is targeted at families and children (in this case, it is recommended for those 10 and older).

The show opens with a violent storm.The female protagonist finds refuge on a bench in the middle of a park, carrying with her just a small suitcase.

Over the course of the hour-long play, she meets many passersby, recalls people from her past and encounters a young runaway girl who has much in common with herself.

And all the while, a vast sky brightens, dims and clouds over behind her, mirroring the tone of the action.

The emotive backdrop helps communicate the plot of what is otherwise a non-verbal play.The cast of five performers, all from Quebec and all from different artistic backgrounds — dance, gymnastics, circus and theatre — rely on body language to propel the story forward.

“The movement tells stories and shows the emotion of the character,” explains Simard, who has been a performer in previous DynamO productions and, for many years, has also worked as a puppeteer of giant marionettes with Théâtre de la Dame de Coeur.

Meanwhile, the choreography is set to classical music by Johann Sebastian Bach, as well as original piano-heavy

BECOMING WILD `<k7 l!

●

compositions by Christian Légaré.The latter was chosen because the main character is a pianist and, among the few possessions from her past life she carries in her suitcase, is some sheet music.

Although the show is geared toward a young audience, it deals with mature subjects of displacement and human resiliency.

“I wanted to tell an adult story for kids,” Simard explains, but adds that children will be able to easily understand and follow the storyline thanks to the music, projected sky imagery and “wow” invoking movements. He likens watching I on the Sky to reading a poem.

“It’s a highly visual play and the music is very beautiful and it’s poetic.”

FILM

Married duo team up on horror flick Peter and Julia Benson make the most of ‘killer’ locations JULIE CRAWFORD ContributingWriter

Actors Peter and Julia Benson have some great wedding-planning advice: pick a stunning location, make sure there’ll be good music and good food, and you’re good to go. Just don’t have a joint guysand-girls bachelor party; things could get bloody.

The husband and wife team produced and cowrote (with Ryan Copple) Death Do Us Part, a horror film about six friends who head to a remote cabin for a pre-wedding party. As the group starts to thin one by one, everyone seems to have a good motive for murder.

It’s distinctly West Coast, the creepy cabin with the killer water view.

Julia plays Kennedy, a jittery bride who keeps the wedding planner on speed dial and a purse full of pills to get her through the week.

She’s even brought her wedding gown along for the trip. Kennedy is engaged to Ryan (Peter), who seems to be the whole package, but who is hiding a murky past.

The real-life couple was married in August 2009 on Julia’s dad’s Sunshine Coast property, where the film was shot and where the murder and mayhem occurs.

“It’s an amazing location, looking out at the water, it’s majestic — The place had horror movie written all over it,” laughs Peter. On a practical level, Julia points out that when making an independent film it’s a lot easier to have one amazing location to work with and free rein to do what you want.

The film grew out of a desire to collaborate with friends and create their own work. “We have been lucky enough to be working as actors for 10 years,” says Julia, “but we just realized we wanted more out of our careers.” They founded Married To The Boss Productions, wrote and produced a pilot for CityTV, and wanted to flex their creative muscles further by doing a feature film. “As actors you’re often waiting for the phone to ring, and we thought, let’s just empower ourselves.”

They had an “amazing” ensemble of actor friends from which to choose and very quickly the little film had a big crew (the scenic Sunshine Coast locale didn’t hurt). “It’s kind of the dream to make a film with all your friends,” says Peter of the time spent with fellow actors Christine Chatelain (Sanctuary, Fringe), Kyle Cassie (True Justice), Benjamin Ayres (Saving Hope), Dave Colette,Viv Leacock and Aaron Douglas (The Killing). Nicholas Humphries directed.

The lifelong Vancouverites — she’s from West Van, he’s from the West side — had to get pretty rough with each other and with other characters in the film’s fight scenes. A new form of marriage therapy, perhaps? “We never really fight in real life, so I was curious to see what would happen if we went all out,” says Peter. Julia counters: “When Peter first wrote our fight scene it was 15 pages, and I thought wow, do we

For the record, the film is not autobiographical and they did not have a jack-andjill stag. “I don’t think they’re a good idea,” says Peter.

“In fact, the film could be a metaphor for how bad an idea it is.”

There was a special screening of the film last week at the Rio Theatre

to a “packed house, great audience.” One of the great things about being actors in Vancouver, says Julia, is the community support from people in front of and behind the camera.The film is available now on iTunes, and in retail stores and on Amazon as of April 15 — just in time for wedding season.They may not have set out to create this season’s best wedding gift, but Death

OPEN HOUSE

“Everest always has the last word,” says Dianne Whelan. “It’s the biggest mountain in the world and she’s called a goddess and I’ll tell you she’s a mean mother, OK. She’s not a kind mother, she’s a mean mother. And you can have the biggest ego in the world, but I don’t care who you are, you’re not walking away without a dose of humility when you leave that place.”

Whelan, a filmmaker, photographer, multimedia

artist and author, travelled to Nepal in 2010 and spent 40 days at Mount Everest’s base camp.

Proving to be both an illuminating and humbling experience, she first shared her story in an award-winning film, 40 Days at Base Camp. This week, she’s releasing a book about the trip, Base Camp: 40 Days on Everest, through Caitlin Press.

Whelan’s experience as well as that of the many climbers, doctors and Sherpas she came to know, are woven together in the work, along with a discussion of the effects of climate change on the Everest area. Next year, she plans to release a related app.

Whelan will offer insight into the book at a launch event, Thursday, April 17 at 7 p.m. at Capilano University’s Bosa SeeWhelan page 19

BOOKS

Whelan studied at Cap From page 18 Centre Theatre. She’s pleased to be presenting her slideshow and talk at her alma mater, which set her on her current three-pronged approach to storytelling.

A storyteller from a young age, Whelan, who lives on the Sunshine Coast on Garden Bay in Pender Harbour, pursued a career in journalism, mainly photography. A successful contributor to a number of media outlets, like the Vancouver Sun and Whistler Question, she eventually had an epiphany.

“I realized through the photojournalism that it was really the storytelling, the narrative of the photograph, that was intriguing me more than the writing. The beautiful thing about filmmaking is you get to actually incorporate all of it anyway — you get the narrative of the moving image, you get sound and you get story,” she says.

At age 40, Whelan, now 48, decided to go to film school at Capilano University.

“The documentary just gives you a lot more space to breathe. . . . It just sat better with me as the kind of storytelling that I wanted to do,” she says.

Whelan now takes a multi-platform approach to each of her projects, allowing her to combine all of her passions. A previous initiative saw her release This Land, a documentary made with the support of the National Film Board, highlighting her travels in the Canadian High Arctic on a historical Sovereignty Patrol. It was followed by the book This Vanishing Land as well as an interactive website.

“Every medium offers you a different opportunity to tell a different version of the story,” she says.

this day, she views their accomplishment as a “beautiful metaphor for human ambition.”

“I had grown up with a picture of Hillary and Tenzing in my bedroom that I’d cut out of (National Geographic magazine) and put in my copy of The Hobbit.

And off now I was to this mythical mountain.

And when I got there finally, after the hike in and everything, I was just ravaged by what I saw,” she says.

Despite her knowledge of base camp, its realities were shocking. The amount of garbage present and the tales of oxygen being stolen were the tip of the iceberg. The estimated 250 dead bodies buried on the path from base camp to the peak, the lineups, the high cost of an ascent and other challenging conditions made a lasting impact.

Whelan vowed to one day go back to tell the true story of the mountain, and did so in 2010.

Inspired by a proverb she read before she left, “To know a people you must spend 40 days with them,” she committed to stay for more than a month.

“I wondered if I spent that amount of time there if my first impression would shift and it did.

The first time I went there I was really abhorred by everything I saw. And it’s still there, the garbage and the dead bodies and there’s still a part of it that doesn’t sit well with me.

But I also met incredibly inspiring people who seek out to do this and to go there from all over the world,” she says.

Whelan walked away from the experience forever changed.

“We all set a limit, we all set a ceiling on what we can accomplish and for some reason climbing that mountain really breaks that ceiling open for a lot of people,” she says.

For her next project, The Story ofWhite Raven, Whelan is exploring First Nations legends and related environmental issues. She’s currently filming and conducting research from coast to coast.

In addition to next Thursday’s talk at Capilano University, Whelan has a number of other local speaking engagements planned. Visit basecamp40daysoneverest. com for details.

Author spent years learning survival skills From page 21 Island where they would live for the next year.

Their story is not just a fascinating tale of survival; it is also a spiritual journey to a level of selfunderstanding that few attain.

Van Schyndel has written a book that is compelling from the opening page. Her honest prose explores every aspect of their journey and leaves you with a better vision of what is possible when you pursue your dream.

I was fortunate to catch up with her this week while she was visiting her mother in North Vancouver.

Terry Peters: This is an amazing story. A lot of people might dream of living off the land but the reality of it is hard work.You and Micah took it to a whole other level as primitive survivalists. How did you prepare yourself for this?

I spent about five years learning all that I could about primitive survival.

I had tried all kinds of different foods at various courses. When you get that hungry you’ll eat just about anything. We ate a lot of clams and it took me awhile to figure out how to prepare them so they tasted better.

TP: When you returned to Vancouver it was only for a few weeks, was it hard to be back in the city?

NVS: It was really hard, especially the first time. I had a headache, my eyes hurt, and it was like a constant white noise. All the things that I thought I’d been missing I didn’t really want now that I could have them and the peace that I’d found inside of me was slipping away. It took a long time before I could find a balance between the life I had there and being able spend time in the city. When you have found perfection for you anything that is less than that is very difficult.

TP: In the book you describe hunting bear and also finally catching a big halibut as turning points.

Getting a bigger supply of food seemed to give you the time for things other than day-to-day survival.

NVS: Yes, once we had made a ton of jerky we had more time to explore, to make things using the skills we’d learned. We needed

TP: You now live in a tiny community in Echo Bay on Gilford Island. Have you found the balance now?

NVS: It hasn’t been easy but now I’ve found a way to live in both worlds. I spent two years building my log cabin and it is great but I could walk away and head into the bush and

be happy and I can come into the city for a couple of months and not go crazy.

TP: Now you are running your own eco adventures and giving people a chance to experience some of what you know, is this the future for you?

NVS: Yes, I’m still working towards making a bridge between these ancient skills and the modern world. I think I’m unique in my perspective because I’m kind of half and half, part city girl and part bush.

There should be a way for people to connect to the primitive world. I feel I am that bridge and I hope to be able share this with other people.

Douglas Coupland, Geoffrey Farmer, Graham Gillmore and Ian Wallace. What’s the connection? They’re all West Vancouver artists, of course.

While West Vancouver is known for its natural beauty, its venerable transit system, and the wealth of many of its denizens, a local teacher’s passion project sets out to show the West Vancouver school district as a nurturer of the arts.

Jackie Wong is a teacher at West Vancouver Secondary School as well as the organizer of the new exhibit SD45 One, whose name is drawn from the West Vancouver school district’s official title, and the first year of the project.

The exhibition includes works by recent school district students, staff and the likes of Coupland, Farmer and other internationally-acclaimed artists who were once enrolled in the school district.

“It’s the first time ever that these artists, very internationally-acclaimed artists, have ever been shown together under the same venue,” says Wong.

“I just realized as an art teacher and a person in the community, that

we have had a lot of international artists who have come out of West Vancouver and a lot of local residents and the public don’t know where they’re from,” says Wong.

Wong says the inspiration for the show came a year ago, when she saw Ian Wallace’s exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery. She considered that perhaps most people were unaware that Wallace, who has been lauded for co-creating the modern art scene in Vancouver, had grown up and been educated in West Vancouver.

“The first person I asked was Wallace. I figured if I could get him, then everybody else would be pretty enthusiastic about (the exhibit). So he was overly enthusiastic and most willing to be a participant,” says Wong.

While the list is already quite star-studded, Wong says there are hundreds of artists on the list and is hoping they will be featured in future exhibits of SD45.

“So I just thought the students could get inspired by knowing that there are a lot of graduates from our

district and that they’ve made it really big in the art world.”

Wong says another goal of the exhibition is to show students a viable career path, and to use the work of the acclaimed artists to inspire a new generation of artists to take up the easel.

Mozart’s Requiem stands test of time Lars Kaario directing Cap U choir in live performances

■ Mozart’s Requiem: Capilano University Festival Chorus and Capilano University Singers at BlueShore Financial Centre, Saturday, April 12, at 8 p.m. and Sunday, April 13 at 3 p.m.

JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

Lars Kaario can almost get through an entire interview without singing — almost, but not quite.

While taking a brief break from holding 100 voices in his hands, the Capilano University choral director discusses the painstaking preparation warranted by Mozart’s Requiem.

The choir is a blend of 50 community singers and 50 music students, all with the

Before tapping a music stand with a baton, Kaario has each note, pitch, vowel, and rhythm he wants from Mozart’s 1791 tour de force in his mind.

“I have a distinct image, absolutely, and I work on it

till we get that sound,” he says.

Asked how he knows what he wants, Kaario explains the ever-present link between the sound of the music and craftsmanship of the instrument.

“Back in the baroque and early classical periods

the instruments could not produce a really heavy sound,” he says.

A modern Steinway piano is probably 10 times as loud as the pianoforte of Mozart’s time, which almost sounded like a honky tonk piano, according to Kaario.The violin was similarly about

one-third the volume of the instruments that would be crafted in the next century.

The nature of the instruments had a direct effect on the performance of the singers, Kaario says.

“We know for instance, that in the early period they didn’t sing so heavy because

they didn’t have to, the instruments produced a very light sound.”

For romantic opera, the singer’s voice does not waver.

“PAH, PAH, PAH,” Kaario sings.

If you could see his voice, it would look like Canada’s prairies — one flat line.

Then Kaario sings an early baroque style.

“Pah, pah, pah.”

Each baroque note has its own topography, and if you could see it the notes might look like Ireland’s rolling hills.

But while the development of musical instruments plays a part in the choir’s performance, something more essential and more mysterious is also at work.

“Human nature,” Kaario says. “There’s a lot of things that you just naturally pick up by the way the music is written.”

The music captivates musicians by holding wrath and befuddlement and the sublime, sometimes within See Mozart page 40

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to FASHION & STYLE

Upcycle old clothes for spring Alterations expert breaks down DIY sewing projects

CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

Follow us on Twitter @NSNLook

With only 50 square feet to work in, clothing alterations professional Sherry Matin has become an expert at using space efficiently.

Her ironing board folds out from the wall, she records business transactions on an iPad instead of a desktop computer, a pulled-back curtain can be released to create a private fitting room, and a clear “ghost chair” provides an unobtrusive seat for customers.

Matin opened her tiny boutique at Lonsdale Avenue and 19th Street in late January, though she has been working as a seamstress and dressmaker on the North Shore for more than 20 years.

She’s making the most of her new space, and also endeavours to make the most of her fabrics.

“I don’t like throwing things away,” she says. “I re-use basically everything I can.”

That means Matin usually has some sort of “upcycling” project on the go, whether she’s repurposing an old cosmetics bag into an electronics case, or transforming scrap material into cushion covers.

Many of her projects require just basic sewing skills and, this week, she is sharing step-by-step instructions for two of her recent creations.

“I think, really, if you’re familiar with a sewing

machine you can do it,” she says, adding that these projects would be a great introduction to sewing for teens who are interested in making their own clothes.

So, rummage through your drawers, dust off the sewing kit and get started.

Matching skirt and bag set This remix project combines a worn pair of jeans and an old skirt into a refurbished skirt with a matching purse.

1) Remove back pockets from jeans and set aside.

2) Measure three inches below the bottom of the zipper (or where the front pockets end). Mark with sewing chalk and draw a straight line around the circumference of the pants.

Allow half an inch for stitching and cut.

3) Cut the skirt in half, horizontally, and reserve both pieces.

4) Pin the top part of the jeans to the bottom part of the skirt and finish with a top stitch.

5) Replace the back pockets and finish with a top stitch.

For the bag: 1) Open the inner seam of the pant legs and sew both legs together.Trim to desired length (the length depends on how deep you like your bag) and sew bottom.

2) Fold over the top three inches and finish with a top stitch.With the extra denim leftover from the pant legs, cut two pockets — a small one for the front and a large one for the back — and sew them to the bag.

3) Make four belt loops and stitch to the top of the bag.

With the extra fabric leftover from the skirt, create a belt long enough to tie around the bag.

4) For the handle, cut three strips of denim each 1.5 inches wide. Braid the three strips of fabric together to add strength and style. Stitch the braided strap to either side of the bag.

Turn your graphic tank top into a colourful carryall bag From page 33

Reusable shopping bag For this project, Matin transforms a graphic tank top into a stretchy shopping bag that she can roll up and store in her purse when it’s not in use.

1) Turn the tank inside out,

pin the bottom together and sew.

2) Align the side seam with the bottom seam to create a peak. Hold in place with pins. Mark two inches from the tip of the peak, draw a line and stitch along the line to create a two-inch-deep boxed corner. Repeat on the other side.This creates a base for your bag.

3) Turn right-side out and undo both shoulder seams.

4) Pin the front shoulder straps together and stitch.

Repeat with the back shoulder straps.This step creates handles for the bag.

Untreated hearing loss tied to lower earning potential Maximizing one s ability to hear well should be part of any smart career strategy. Individual performance in an organization is found to be directly related to listening ability or perceived listening effectiveness.

In fact, listening is one of the top skills employers seek in entry-level employees and in those being promoted.

People who both hear and listen well are also more likely to establish positive working relationships with bosses, clients, and colleagues.

“They just love the Requiem,” he says of his community choir singers.

“They find it so fulfilling.”

Debbie Rahn, 55, Spruce View, AB!For the last 2-3 years my life was miserable, had mood swings, extreme anger, depression, feeling suicidal because of my menopausal emotions.

“You’re SoVain” without thinking of Mick Jagger or Warren Beatty or whoever.

But the Requiem is Mozart.

“There’s a real sense of pathos which I think connects to Mozart dying,” Kaario says.

■■■ A tall man in a grey suit knocks on the composer’s door with an assignment.

The man in grey is an emissary for a widower, a count, and a thief.The composer is Amadeus Mozart.

The assignment: a death mass.

In the autumn of 1791 Count Franz vonWalsegg waits for the Requiem.

Walsegg lost his young wife on Feb. 14, 1791. But while he is beset by sorrow, he is also afflicted by an ego of Shia LeBeoufian proportions.

WhenWalsegg buys the Requiem it will become his property and bear his name.

But while Mozart worked on the Requiem he was coming undone.

The doctors would diagnose him with rheumatic fever after his death, but in the final weeks of life Mozart suspected he’d been poisoned. He even wondered if the guilty party might be court composer Antonio Salieri.

That suspicion would lead to a more famous story in which Salieri tranquilizes the envy coursing through his soul by destroying God’s crudest instrument — that giggling, drunken boy.

The legend seems false, but it’s not without shadow versions of the truth.

Constanze, Mozart’s wife, took the Requiem from her husband when he confessed he was writing his own death mass.

By some accounts, Mozart was dictating the Requiem until moments before his death.

Had it been completed and delivered toWalsegg, musical history may have been distorted, or even

WANTED

From page 38

worse, the composition could have been bastardized or lost.

As it turned out, Mozart was prophetic.

His unfinished Requiem was played five days after his death at his own funeral.

■■■ Kaario was 15 when music took hold.

“It just became my passion. . . . My parents weren’t too happy,” he adds with a laugh.

While his parents wanted their son to appreciate music, taking him to light opera as a child, his father hoped he would do something practical, like become an electrical engineer or a teacher.

“There was no way I was supposed to have a career in music,” Kaario says.

Kaario found himself teaching voice, conducting musical theatre, directing a church choir and performing as a tenor soloist in an effort to make ends meet.

“It is exciting but it can be a little bit stressful trying to make a comfortable living,” he says.

But like a Romantic opera singer, Kaario never wavered.

“If you really follow your passion and you’re willing to spend the time to work hard, you’ll find some work in the field that you love,” he says.

His education in music seems like it would be beyond endurance, as he’d frequently spend 12-14 hours each day immersed in music, as well as in its theory and history.

Asked if he ever had concerns about burnout, Kaario seems taken aback.

“Absolutely not,” he says.

“Oh my goodness no.”

Asked about final instructions for the choir, Kaario says he’ll remind them to enjoy the moment.

“It goes by so quickly,” he says. “In fact, the performance goes by like a little bit of a dream for the time of the performance and then it’s over.”

longer. Both are almost exactly the same width and the ATS’s roof is only slightly lower.

Prices are also very similar and they both are available in four trim levels.

Like the 3 Series, all ATS models come standard as rear-wheel drive, but allwheel drive is an option.

There are also three different engines to choose from to further enhance the series.

The ATS shares a lot of visual similarities to its sibling, the CTS. However, on closer inspection, the ATS is the sharper-looking car and brings a trendier

Four decades ago, on March 29, 1974, the first VW Golf rolled off the production line in Wolfsburg, Germany.

Nobody shouted Fore!, but they should have.

Forty years later, this scrappy little car has sold more than 30 million units over seven generations, pipping the iconic Beetle by nearly a third. That was the old people’s car, austere and pragmatic; this new little hatchback was fun and nippy.

Well, fun anyway. The first generation car, penned by noted stylist Giorgio Giugiaro, wasn’t exactly overpowered. A 1.5-litre water-cooled four-cylinder engine produced just 70 horsepower, and the car rode on narrow tires mounted on 13-inch rims.

However, it did only weigh 800 kilograms, or less than a current-day Smart Car. That gave

For many decades, Cadillac was the standard by which other luxury cars were measured.

Then the Japanese introduced Lexus, Acura, and Infiniti and changed the face of the luxury car market.

Cadillac almost lost its way during the 1980s and 1990s, but managed to slowly emerge out of the troubled times by recreating its brand and its purpose.

The result of that recreation was a surprising comeback by Cadillac, and it now proudly markets some of the best luxury cars in North America, including its European-

The Automotive Journalists Association of Canada voted it the Best New Luxury Car in 2012 and at the 2013 North American International Auto Show it was awarded the North American Car of the Year.

ATS surprisingly sporty compared to competition From page 47 feel to its shape thanks to its knife-edge design.

The look is complemented by the “waterfall” LED daytime running lights and sharp rear centre light bar.

The cabin of the ATS is very modern and posh, thanks to high quality materials. This interior proves that Cadillac is still capable of producing world-class interiors, though the feel is definitely more “American” than “European” thanks to a lot of shiny materials.

Performance Of the three available engines, the Standard model ATS comes with the choice of a 2.5-litre four cylinder or a 2.0-litre turbo four. The naturally aspirated block puts out 202 horsepower while the turbo ups that to 272.

The third engine choice, a 3.6-litre V-6, is available on Luxury, Performance and Premium models. It produces 321 h.p. and 275 foot-pounds of torque.

Rear-wheel drive models with the turbo engine can opt for a six-speed manual, but a six-speed automatic transmission is standard across the range.

The automatic is a nice gearbox which is willing to downshift whenever the driver accelerates hard. It also has a manual mode, utilizing paddle shifters on

the steering wheel.

Cadillac has also greatly improved their braking reputation as well. All but the Standard model come with race-inspired front brakes from Brembo. They are fade-free and easily controlled.

In terms of handling, it could be argued that the ATS is in fact sportier than many of its competitors, which seems odd since Cadillacs aren’t known for handling traits. The solid chassis allows the suspension to do its job remarkably well; especially with the Magnetic Ride Control (MRC) system available on RWD Premium models. The performance suspension with MRC scans vehicle inputs every millisecond and alters the damping characteristics to deliver more precise body control.

All in all, the ride in the ATS is excellent.

The feedback afforded by the steering is much appreciated as it’s crisp and very nicely weighted.

The ATS is always composed and large road imperfections are barely noticed.

Selectable driving modes are standard on the ATS. The driver has a choice of three different modes, and depending on how the car is equipped, these can alter the engine, transmission, steering and if it has MRC, ride stiffness

as well. Regarding the three modes, Touring is great for everyday driving, Sport is there if you want a more spirited drive, and finally, Snow is designed to prevent wheel spin by starting in second gear.

Environment Sitting behind the wheel of the ATS is a pleasant experience thanks to its soft-touch materials and instrumentation that are on par with some of the best in the market.

The front seats are comfortable and surprisingly supportive around corners, especially in Performance and Premium models which feature adjustable thigh support. Standard models come with leatherette but the others get authentic leather seating surfaces.

While the front passengers receive plenty of legroom, the same cannot be said for rear passengers.

Also, because of the domed shape of the centre seat and the centre console, seating three people in the rear is not an enticing option.

Cargo space is also limited, measuring at 10.2 cubic feet. Thankfully, most models come with 60/40 split folding rear seat backs. I was a bit surprised by the small rear seating area and the limited trunk space — this car is truly See Touchscreen page 49

a European-influenced vehicle with a small scale interior.

Most models feature the Cadillac User Experience, or CUE. It works with an eight-inch colour touchscreen and allows access to climate control, phone interface, entertainment, and vehicle settings. What makes it easier to use than other systems is that it gives you haptic feedback. This lets you know the command has been acknowledged. It is better than Ford’s system which is cumbersome to use — Lexus still sets the standard for ease of use.

The ATS is available with many modern safety systems including Forward Collision Alert and Lane Departure Warning. These features vibrate the seat to get your attention, however, if you change lanes while forgetting to signal, you could be led to believe your phone is vibrating in your pocket. This is one feature that I found annoying to say the least.

Features Prices range from $35,695 to $51,480.

Standard equipment includes keyless entry, push-button start, dualzone climate control, heated front seats, Bluetooth and eight airbags.

Additional features, available as options or on higher trims, include illuminated exterior door handles, heated exterior mirrors, rearview camera, front and rear parking sensors, and a heated steering wheel.

exactly a pocket rocket.

Worse, by the time it showed in Canada, in 1983, it had lost the cool round headlamps and about 20 h.p. It was still light and agile, but could boast performance figures about that of a current-day Mazda2.

And, in the 1980s, that was plenty. The GTI was affordable, easy to work on, and as it had existed for so long in other markets, there was a huge aftermarket for beefing it up. VW fans went completely nuts, creating a sort of rift between the aircooled purists and the new water-cooled enthusiasts.

At the same time, the Rabbit diesel also bowed, endowed with an extremely slow 48 h.p. engine. This was one lethargic bunny, but it did cruise on past the gas station with nary a sideways look, and provided ridiculously efficient transportation.

Sure, it was more tortoise than hare, but slow and steady sometimes wins the race.

The second generation cars marked an uptick in size, power, and weight that would continue throughout the next generations, culminating in the porky fourth-generation cars.

Somewhere along the way, somebody started calling the different generation Mk I, Mk II, and so on, and Vee-dubbers today will even refer to them as “EmKay One,” or

“Em-Kay Four.”

While the cars mostly stayed the same shape and simply grew faster and fatter, there were some really odd ones now and then. Take, for instance, the rare G60 Golf.

In a time when the second-generation GTI was making just 140 h.p. or so, the G60’s supercharged engine put out 160 h.p., and it did so through all four wheels. Then there was the extremely rare Golf Limited, which with 207 h.p. would be the fastest VW for years.

However, we never got any of this cool stuff. In fact, in the third generation Golf, things went badly wrong, as the GTI suddenly became little more than a trim package.

The regular car was no great shakes either, with a feeble 2.0-litre powerplant making just 113 h.p., fighting a considerable weight gain.

It was, however, the last time you could buy a VW Cabriolet for a while.

A stalwart of any 1980s film showing privileged California teens, the fun little drop-top Golf was one of the least expensive ways to have fun in the sun in your Vee-Dub. These days, the very heavy and extremely complicated Eos handles convertible VW duties, but the third-gen car soldiered on until the 2000s, albeit with fourthgen looks grafted on.

Engineers plop a 12-cylinder monster into an old Golf From page 50

Starting in the third generation, after a damp squib of a debut, VW started offering V-6 power in the Golf. An odd little engine, the VR6 is a very narrow-angle V-6 that actually has a one-piece head. When initially launched, it provided some much needed power, but at the expense of thirst for fuel and added noseheaviness.

However, as the VR6 improved, it found itself the plaything of local tuners HPA. These — well, let’s face it — these lunatics managed to twin-turbocharge the six-cylinder up to 400 h.p. in initial testing, and when the R32 Golf came along, cranked more than 500 h.p. out of the thing.

Even in standard trim, the R32 was quite the car. It had a 3.2-litre VR6 (hence the name), which made for 237 h.p., and it was fitted with the world’s first production dualclutch gearbox and fourwheel drive. We never got it — are you beginning to see a trend here?

Canadians did, however, get a special-edition Golf they could buy. Built for the 25th anniversary of the car, the GTI 337 was very limited in production — just 250 sold in Canada — and comprised of uprated sport suspension, larger BBS alloys, a sixspeed manual, grippier Recaro seats, and uprated brakes. It also had a tiny

stylized chrome rabbit on the trunk lid, a shoutout to its start in North America.

entry-level luxury sedans for almost 30 years. For sport enthusiasts, the BMW offers the most performance oriented option in this segment.

It handles swiftly and smoothly like no other cars in this segment.

The 3-Series begins at a very buyer-friendly $35,990.

Audi A4 The A4 continues to be a leader in this competitive market. Its beautifully refined interior makes efficient use of space to feel larger than it is. Audi’s attention to detail and efficiency make the A4 an

attractive choice.

The A4’s $37,800 starting price keeps it firmly in the discussion.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class Mercedes-Benz is a brand preferred by the rich and famous. The C-Class affords the upper-middle class a true luxury sedan.

This well-appointed car focuses more on comfort and safety than performance.

While the C-Class is one of the more affordable in the Mercedes-Benz lineup, its $39,700 starting price makes it one of the priciest in this segment. editor@automotivepress.com

Golf outsells its iconic VW sibling, the Beetle From page 51

gen platform — the GTI W12. Taking the big engine small car recipe to its absolute limit, Volkswagen crammed the 12-cylinder W-12 out of the Phaeton luxury sedan into the middle of a Golf GTI, converted the thing to run with rear-wheel drive, and hit the road.

The silliest rabbit of all time, this 641 h.p. Golf was more than a handful in anything but a straight line, and was of course not

intended for production.

It did run though, and VW took it to the annual meetup of Golf enthusiasts in Worthersee, Austria.

For now, the hottest version of a Golf you can buy in Canada will be the upcoming Golf R, which stands above the normal GTI. Turbocharged punch comes to the base Golf as well, with an efficient and torquey 1.8-litre turbocharged engine, and a very strong turbodiesel powerplant which has three times the power of

the smoky old original.

There are even rumours of a GTD version of the Golf, a diesel-powered GTI-variant marrying sporty handling with longrange efficiency. This new seventh-generation car has an excellent chassis, and handles the curves well in any trim. After four decades and the next million sales just over the horizon, another round of Golf sounds like a fine idea. mcaleeronwheels@gmail.com
