Lynn Valley towers get green light Council approves Bosa highrise condo complex for mall site JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

After years of will they or won’t they intrigue,

council unanimously moved to redevelop Lynn Valley mall Tuesday.

Council’s decision to approve the 377

condominium units and 22 townhouses that comprise Bosa’s project was met with a round of applause.

The old Zellers will be traded for two new 12storey, 150-foot towers.

The two towers will flank four smaller buildings between five and eight

storeys perched on a onestorey commercial podium.

That podium — most of which will be used for a grocery store — totals 50,000 square feet of commercial space.

The development will lead to a “new, invigorated Lynn Valley,” according to

Coun. Robin Hicks, who emphasized the district’s need of more affordable housing.

“If we don’t provide more average-priced housing — and I won’t say this is cheaper housing — we will become an enclave of the more affluent like most of

West Vancouver.”

One-bedroom units would likely start at around $350,000.

Coun. Lisa Muri praised the project as a compromise that will benefit the community but she also See Bosa page 3

Strike may shut down schools for summer JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

School could be out for the summer by the end of today unless teachers and the government reach a deal over the next few days.

Schools in both North Vancouver and West Vancouver will be closed next week after the teachers union announced a full-scale strike starting Tuesday, plus a “study session” on Monday — meaning no teachers will be at school.

Earlier this week, teachers voted 86 per cent in favour of escalating their strike.

Notice of the full-scale strike came the day after teachers on the North Shore walked picket lines Wednesday for the third day of rotating strikes.

School administrators were scrambling Thursday to get word out to parents See Provincial page 3

Bosa to provide $4.5M in amenities From page 1 questioned its affordability.

“We talk about affordability. I don’t think that will ever happen,” she said. “Many people will be able to live here and many more will not be able to live here, and that is just life.”

The district can manage development but not halt it, according to Hicks.

“We cannot stop the influx of new families without undesirable economic and financial consequences,” he said.

While allowing that the project has merit, frequent council watcher Hazen Colbert derided the meeting as “a love-in,” bereft of discussion or debate.

“All that was missing was district council and staff holding hands while singing ‘Kumbaya,’” he stated.

The average age in the District of North Vancouver increases by one year every two years, according to Mayor Richard Walton.

“In the past 40 years, 11 schools in North Vancouver have closed,” he said. “We’re still getting older.”

The “lost generation” of young people in North Vancouver signals the need for new homes with lower land values, according to Walton. “This means more density,” he said.

Density is a welcome alternative to watching

houses creep up the mountainside, according to many of the project’s supporters.

The development has a floor space ratio of 2.36, which measures the project’s total floor space against the area of the lot.The district’s maximum allowable FSR for the site is 3.5.

Many of the development’s detractors pointed to growing gridlock, attributing traffic jams to the unprecedented development sweeping the North Shore.

The traffic volume on Highway 1 will continue to increase, according to Hicks.

“The traffic increase will appear with or without new

development of our town centres,” he said.

Speaking at an April meeting, Lynn Valley resident Marilyn Harkness argued the project wouldn’t necessarily be a catalyst for greater transit service, given that Surrey’s growth hasn’t alleviated its transit woes.

Unfortunately,TransLink doesn’t anticipate demand, according to Coun. Alan Nixon. “Once the demand materializes and makes itself known, we will see dramatic changes in the way buses service Lynn Valley,” he said.

Coun. Doug MacKayDunn said North Vancouver should be well served by transit, considering that

Mayor Walton serves as chairman of TransLink’s Mayors’ Council. “I’m sure that the mayor will look after our interests,” MacKayDunn said.

Several councillors acknowledged misgivings about the project’s height.

“Those whose views will be obstructed objected to the proposal. I’m sorry I can’t guarantee your view,” MacKay-Dunn said.

Very few residents object to the nearby 17-storey Kiwanis building, according to Coun. Mike Little.

“Heights notwithstanding, there were a lot of people who came in and said, ‘Well it looks a lot better than

Provincial exams to go ahead

From page 1

and prepare to potentially wrap up the school year two weeks early.

“There’s no school Monday,” said Dave Eberwein, assistant superintendent of the West Vancouver School District.

Eberwein said schools are sending out messages to parents about what to expect in terms of picking up students’ artwork and previously planned end-ofyear activities.

While high school graduation ceremonies have already happened, some elementary school events may not go ahead.

“We’re looking to see if they can be rescheduled or done in a different way,” said Eberwein.

John Lewis, North Vancouver schools superintendent, sent a letter home to parents Thursday asking students to return school material, pick up their personal items and clean out

their lockers by Friday.

Students writing exams can keep their textbooks until the exams, according to Lewis.

Senior high school exams are expected to go ahead as planned after the Labour Relations Board ruled exams for grades 10 to 12 students an essential service.

“The exams will be written,” said Education Minister Peter Fassbender Thursday morning. “To me that’s the message to parents and students.”

Fassbender said the ministry still has to figure out how the exams will be marked.

The province usually pays teachers on a contract basis to mark exams during the early part of the summer.

The fate of summer school in both North Vancouver and West Vancouver is also still up in the air.

Both elementary and secondary programs are

scheduled to start July 8 in West Vancouver and have more than 700 students registered. If the labour dispute isn’t resolved by the end of June, it will be up to the teachers union to decide if summer school is included in a continuing strike.

Rob Millard, president of the West Vancouver Teachers Association, said escalation in the strike shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone who has kept an eye on the dispute.

“We all knew this could happen,” Millard said.

“We’ve given everyone a deadline.”

Teachers on the picket lines are no longer receiving strike pay, after the money for that ran out.

Both sides indicated Thursday that a deal is still possible at the bargaining table, with Jim Iker, president of the B.C. Teachers Federation, indicating the union is prepared to bargain all weekend.

Iker said Thursday teachers have come up with a revised wage proposal. However, Iker didn’t offer details about the proposal.

So far, the B.C. Public School Employers Association has offered a 7.3 per cent wage increase over six years while teachers have asked for a 9.75 per cent increase plus additional amounts for cost of living over four years.

Eberwein said the school district has been getting some feedback from exasperated parents.

“This situation is very unfortunate and we understand how frustrating it is,” Eberwein said.

Lewis echoed those comments in his letter to parents. “We are disheartened by this turn of events, and know that it has intensified feelings of frustration related to a very complex dispute,” he wrote.

I thought it was going to look,’” he said.

The development’s timber and stone buildings as well as its three plazas totalling more than 15,000 square feet won acclaim from many in the community.

The neighbourhood is a good example of crime prevention through design, according to Mackay-Dunn, a former Vancouver Police Department officer. “You increase the eyes on the street — you reduce crime,” he said.

Coun. Roger Bassam thanked Bosa for their extensive community engagement.

“I’m not sure that they have to go through this kind of an effort anywhere else in the Lower Mainland,” he said. “Thank you guys for doing it North Van style.”

Nixon, who has stated he has no plans to stand for office this fall, complimented his colleagues for their political courage.

Council will potentially face an electorate “who may not be too happy with this decision,” he said.

Muri, who has repeatedly called on her colleagues to slow the pace of development, asked for assurances the development will be well managed.

“We recognize that the community is not going to be supportive of further development unless we can manage the development that we’re approving right now,” said Chief Administrative Officer David Stuart. “We’ll do everything to make sure we can manage this.”

The project includes six units of affordable rental housing to be operated by a non-profit society. Each unit is slated to be sold at approximately $150,000 below market value.

Bosa is on the hook for $4.5 million in district amenities, including $1.6 million in transportation improvements, $500,000 for public art, and other money for trail improvements.

Day camps new for strike days BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

As parents wait with bated breath to see if a photo-finish deal can be made between teachers and the province ahead of next week’s strike, North Shore municipalities are adding a slew of day camps, drop-ins and extra activities for kids.

Starting Monday, North Vancouver Recreation Commission and West Vancouver Recreation have part-time, all-day and allweek camps at municipal recreation facilities, golf courses and libraries.

North Van Rec’s camps range in price from $136 to $199 depending on the activities included.

Registration can be done online at northvanrec.ca, where a list of new camps has been posted, or by phone at 604-983-6388.

In West Vancouver, Fun Day camps at community centres, with a range of activities including swimming, gymnastics, arts and crafts, sports and games, start at $60.

A full list will be posted to westvancouverrec.ca and registration can be done through webreg. westvancouver.net. Both municipalities are also promoting drop-in swimming activities during the strike.

During the strike, the North Vancouver City Library will keep its teen room dedicated for teens between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. and John Braithwaite Community Centre’s teen lounge will be welcoming kids all day.

North Shore Neighbourhood House has spaces available in its before- and after-school care programs but no allday programs.

Let’s make a deal A

s we head into the weekend with the prospect of a full-scale shutdown of the education system coming two weeks early, it feels like we could be approaching the endgame in the dispute between the province and the teachers.

Maybe that’s optimistic.

But whatever happens in the next few days will set the tone for what’s to follow.

Teachers are in a hard spot.

Despite their legitimate issues with the way their contract was violated in the past, the public is more concerned with what’s happening this week than what happened over a decade ago.

In the battle for “hearts and minds” of parents, an unexpectedly abrupt end to the year won’t win the union many allies.

Meanwhile, every strike day saves the province millions of dollars — which

MAILBOX

can be offered back to teachers in any eventual deal. Now that exams have been declared essential services, it’s likely neither side sees the last two weeks of June as educationally crucial. Although the province’s obvious bad faith toward the teachers also doesn’t win it many fans.

Here’s a thought. While both sides have claimed the other hasn’t moved at all, that’s not entirely true.

Both have budged on salaries and the length of the contract. The union has further to go on wages — if it does reduce its demands, it’s up to the province to meet the teachers on class size and composition.

In the end, the province has the hammer in terms of a legislated settlement. But a deal that saves the end of the year is still possible.

Neither side should count it out.

Dedication extends beyond classroom An open letter of invitation to Premier Christy Clark.

Dear Christy: I’d like for you to meet my sister. She’s an extraordinary woman, not just because I think so, but because she has chosen a profession that she is truly passionate about. Like thousands of teachers across British Columbia she has chosen to care for, nurture, inspire and teach our future — our beloved children.

Growing up, my brother and I knew our sister was destined to be a teacher. The desk at the front of our imaginary classroom was always reserved for her.

You will often find her before school, during lunch and after school helping children who may be struggling — never wanting any of her children to fall between the cracks.

Each morning she comes to school with the hope that she can spend more time with each child individually, to ensure that each child reaches their full potential — but with increasing class size and the changing

CONTACTUS

composition of her classes, she knows in her heart, it’s just not possible.

Christy, this is what my sister is fighting for — she needs the support from our government so that she can spend more individual time with her children — she wants to create a better future for all of our children.

Countless hours of her free time — weeknights and weekends — are spent marking homework, preparing for projects, planning for the weeks ahead and corresponding with parents.

She happily volunteers after school hours so that students can attend events or activities. Every year, she spends hundreds of dollars out of her own pocket to pay for supplies that the government no longer has the budget for.

While working at various schools in the Lower Mainland she has brought breakfast, lunch and snacks for children who would otherwise go without all day.

Shopping with this woman is a task in itself. She has reached celebrity status amongst her students, past and present

— each one excited to see their teacher out of the classroom, each one breathlessly giving her the Coles Notes version of their weekend.

As I stand in the background, proudly looking on, I realize the substantial impact my sister has had on these children — the substantial, positive impact all teachers have on their students, myself included.

I know my words are not unique — they will resonate with thousands of teachers across our beautiful province.

You see Christy Clark, my sister is extraordinary, not just because I think so, but because her unfailing love and dedication to each and every child that passes through her classroom door every morning has inspired me to write this letter to you, our premier, our leader.

To my sister, I stand beside you — always.

To the teachers of British Columbia, you have my support — 100 per cent. Thank you for teaching and inspiring our beloved children — our future.

Gallery design to be admired Dear Editor: Re: Letter to North Shore News Friday, May 23 from William Clark.

Mr. Clark is right, the City of North Vancouver has no buildings to admire.The unabated densification of the CNV seems to be nothing but the same architecture of endless three- to four-storey condos of no particular interest along Marine Drive and on Third Street. However, may I draw your attention to the new proposed Presentation House Gallery at the property adjacent to Lonsdale Quay.The architectural drawings are absolutely beautiful and innovative, including a beautiful plaza and water pool feature.

This building is to be “admired” and should be part of our North Shore waterfront! It is the perfect site!

VIEWPOINT

Class size, composition issues too complex As the latest contract dispute involving B.C.’s teachers careens towards the inevitably unsatisfactory conclusion for all involved, it’s worth asking whether another bargaining model should be adopted.

But while it may be worth it to pose the question, it’s far from clear that any alternative exists that is the magic solution that would satisfy all parties.

Take binding arbitration, the most commonly referred to option to the current system. I’ve not heard enthusiasm for this solution from either the employer or the teachers’ union.

The problem with binding arbitration for the parties involved in it is that it can lead to an outcome that is beyond the control of those affected.

For the employer, this can mean a financial arbitration that may greatly exceed its ability to pay, or may have a domino effect on other contracts involving other groups of its employees (i.e. other public sector unions)

Keith Baldrey

View from the Ledge

with the total financial impact being substantially higher than anything contemplated in a single set of negotiations.

For a union like the B.C.Teachers Federation, binding arbitration would mean it would have to buy into the notion that its wage proposals (always substantially higher than any other public sector union) would likely have to be scaled back considerably to be treated seriously by an arbitrator.

Of course, prior to 1987, binding arbitration was actually used to settle

teachers’ pay (and few other issues).That was the year the Social Credit government of the day gave the BCTF the right to strike, which led to full collective bargaining.

But if binding arbitration was to be used today, it presumably would include many more cost items, not the least of which would be the thorny and expensive issues of class size and class composition.

The fact both parties likely fear that an arbitrator could rule against their self-interest on these issues is another big reason for the lack of enthusiasm for that model.

And frankly, I’m not sure binding arbitration could adequately deal with the class size/composition situation.That’s because it’s a very complex issue, and it’s as much about a philosophical split between the employer and the union as it is about funding.

The BCTF wants fixed rules in place that govern how many special needs students can be in a particular classroom,

Jim Hanson

WELCOMES

Founding Partner of Hanson Wirsig Matheos LLB (UBC) - BCL (Oxon) - Lawyer since 1985

while the employer argues the system needs flexibility to deal with what can be very complex situations (the employer also argues fixed ratios are actually discriminatory against special needs kids).

The union’s position inevitably translates into more classrooms being created, and therefore more teachers being hired (this fits with the BCTF’s constant struggle for control of the classroom).The employer’s

position would presumably not create the same number of classrooms.

Each side exaggerates the merits of its position — and the dire consequences of the other’s.There’s no question the issues are vital, but I wonder if most people know what is meant by “special needs” when it comes to diagnosing children.

Do people know there are actually 12 categories of special needs? They include: physically dependent,

deaf or blind, moderate to profound intellectual disability, physical disability and chronic health impairment, visual impairment, hard of hearing, autism, severe mental illness, mild intellectual disability, moderate mental illness, learning disability and gifted.

The definitions of what constitutes each category are shaped by diagnostic findings of the American See Traditional page 10

Excavation to enhance salmon habitat

$135K project to widen mouth of McDonald Creek underway JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

It should be smooth sailing for spawning salmon seeking to slip past scouring seals this September as work is currently underway to bring a little depth to formerly shallow McDonald Creek.

Shallow water has often

turned the route into the fish equivalent of the Lions Gate Bridge at rush hour.

Generally, chum and coho have only been able to traverse the creek during highest tides, which generally last a few hours a day during a few days a month.

While gridlocked and waiting for tides to dip, the salmon become prey for seals, otters, and sport

fishermen, according to West Vancouver Streamkeepers Society president John Barker. However, salmon will be able to access the creek at mid-tide on completion of the $135,000 project, according to Barker.

“Any fish arriving can find safe haven in the creek right away on the day it arrives, as opposed to waiting for high, high water, which is the case with McDonald Creek today.”

Workers will excavate a trench and line it with sediment or clay, adding

cobble-sized rocks and topping it off with boulders.

The boulders, or armour rock, were largely donated by British Pacific Properties and are intended to protect the creek bed from heavy rains or wave action.

Once finished, the creek will bend to the east and turn slightly to the south.

The work is expected to be completed June 20.

Barker couldn’t say if the project would result in more salmon returning to spawn.

“All we know is we’re giving them a better opportunity.”

Streamkeepers opted to pursue McDonald Creek after noting fish flourishing in nearby Lawson Creek, which was modified in 2006.

“I can’t say it was intended for improved salmon return, but that was the outcome,” Barker said. “We were totally blown away in 2007.”

The number of salmon in Lawson Creek jumped from single digits to 51, according to Barker.

The McDonald Creek work was largely funded

by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, which pledged

$60,000, and the Pacific Salmon Foundation, which chipped in $50,000.The project is a joint effort between the streamkeepers, the District of West Vancouver and the West Vancouver Shoreline Preservation Society. A variety of organizations contributed the remaining $25,000.The only direct cost to West Vancouver residents is staff time, according to Barker.

Salmon are expected to return to the creek in late September or early October.

Reduce Belly Fat! Increase Energy!

Testosterone estosterone levels begin to diminish in men around age 30. In fact, by the time men are 60 years old, they typically produce 60% less testosterone than they did at age 20 (a man’s sexual peak). Many men over the age of 35 may already be feeling the effects of lower testosterone including:

Increased Belly Fat Low Energy

Low Libido Mood Changes

Decreased Muscle Strength Prostate Problems and more...

Unfortunately at the same time testosterone is decreasing, estrogen levels are increasing, causing further muscle loss and gain in body fat, making it extremely difficult to maintain a healthy metabolism.

Along with a program of proper nutrition and regular exercise, researchers have discovered a group of naturally proven nutrients that can help you safely reduce excess estrogen while maximizing testosterone levels.

INQUIRING REPORTER It’s the world’s most celebrated sporting event and a financial leech that sometimes sucks its host country dry. Football fever and tear gas are in the air this week as the citizenry of Brazil is both enthralled and enraged at playing World Cup host. Soccer is a sport and religion for many Brazilians. But while calls increase for greater spending on education and health care, the government has forked over $11.5 billion to host the tournament.

Psychology Association and those diagnostic tools are used to diagnose students when their parents or their teacher(s) think it’s necessary to do so.

And some definitions can change.Take autism for example. In 2000, about 1,300 kids were diagnosed with autism, and this past year the number was 6,750.

Experts say this phenomenal growth is because much more information has become known about autism and the diagnostic tools are vastly different now than they were back in 2000.

I’m providing this detail because I think it shows the complexity of the situation may be beyond the skill set of a traditional labour

arbitrator. Best to leave the decisions surrounding this issue in the hands of those actually running the system, which means teachers and administrators.

The BCTF has made a compelling argument that more funding is needed to address class composition, while the employer has made an equally good case about the need for flexibility in the system.

Hopefully, the two sides can still achieve some middle ground in their dispute.

To accomplish that, they will have to engage in real collective bargaining.The traditional model hasn’t served teachers well for a number of reasons, but binding arbitration may prove to be no better, at least when it comes to class size and composition issues.

Bard on the Beach celebrates 25th anniversary

Silver summer ■ Bard on the Beach, June 11 to Sept. 20 at Vanier Park in Vancouver. Tickets: $27-47 at bardonthebeach.org or 604-739-0559.

CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

In 1990, when Gerry Mackay was playing Lysander in A Midsummer Night’s Dream during the inaugural season of Bard on the Beach, curious passersby would often approach the back of the small performance tent at Kits Point.

“What’s going on here?” they would ask. “Is this a concert?”

Mackay and his fellow cast mates found themselves handing out plenty of pamphlets that summer and explaining to folks that, actually, they were putting on a Shakespeare

festival. That debut season, Mackay, who grew up in North Vancouver, says company members were responsible for just about everything, from ticket-taking to night-time security to mingling with the audience during intermission.

“That first year was really exciting,” he says, remembering how hopeful he was that the festival would return the following summer.

Two-and-a-half decades later, Bard is celebrating its silver anniversary season – a milestone that coincides with Shakespeare’s 450th birthday. Under the helm of artistic director and founder Christopher Gaze, the annual festival has expanded its Vanier Park site to accommodate two performance tents — the 733-seat open-ended BMO Mainstage and the 240-seat Douglas Campbell Theatre — which are now iconic parts of Vancouver’s summer skyline. From 1990 to 2013, attendance has

soared from 6,000 patrons to 89,000, the festival’s budget has grown from $35,000 to $4 million, and programming has expanded from one play to four. This year’s lineup includes A Midsummer Night’s Dream,The Tempest, Cymbeline and Equivocation.

On this 25th birthday, Mackay has found himself looking back on his 12 seasons with the company, from his mid-’20s when he played Shakespeare’s young lovers to recent years when he’s taken on more mature roles.

Over the years, he’s watched himself develop professionally and he’s accumulated some fond personal memories along the way. During the early ’90s, Mackay met his wife-to-be one season when she was working in wardrobe at Bard. Another unforgettable moment See Two page 28

BLACK FOREST DELI

GRAND OPENING WEEKEND

FREE BRATWURST ON A BUN THIS SATURDAY & SUNDAY! Growing up in the heart of Germany’s Black Forest, Jurgen Burkhardt was steeped in a world of craftsmanship and tradition. As a teen, when he apprenticed as a butcher, he was exposed to hundreds of years of knowledge, exacting standards and carefully evolved practices in a part of Europe renowned for quality artisan foods.

Reaching the level of Master Butcher and Sausage Maker, he went to work as a chef in some of the area’s finest kitchens.

OLD WORLD CRAFTSMANSHIP MEANS FLAVOUR AND VALUE Life brought him to Canada where he managed a meat plant in Ontario. When he and his wife moved to BC, he struck out on his own with a retail shop in the Market at Park Royal: the Black Forest Delicatessen. Two years later, he opened his own processing facility where he was able to control the products, processes and ingredients that he sold to his customers.

As part of the renewal of the Park Royal Shopping Centre South, The Black Forest Delicatessen has a new, expanded location with a bigger and better selection of artisan prepared meats, imported foods, cheeses and ready to eat meals than ever before.

While the location is new, the dedication to traditional practices remains unchanged.

“99.9% of our meat products are produced in our own factory by skilled master sausage-makers from Germany and our raw material come from the Fraser Valley, all natural and certified organic,” says Jurgen. “Our people adhere to the German puritylaw, using only meat, water and spices-

without any additives, fillers or preservatives.”

The finished product has attracted rave reviews from North Shore and Lower Mainland customers as well as local, national and international competitions.

In 2013 alone, at the Great Canadian Sausage Making Competition, Jurgen and the Black Forest team took first place for their frankfurter, liver and Polish sausages and second place for their Ukrainian sausage.

The Black Forest is also the local only meat shop that smokes its own products using local Hemlock wood. It’s more work, but the satisfaction Jurgen gets from the finished product and the gratitude he feels from his loyal customers makes it all worthwhile.

“Also we want to thank our customers for the support over the last 21 years. It is a big reason we could build a state of the art 12,000 square foot production facility and our beautiful new store.”

If you understand the difference that quality ingredients and skilful preparation make in the food you serve and enjoy, you owe it to yourself to drop in at Park Royal South and discover the all new Black Forest Delicatessen. It truly is a labour of love.

FILM

22 Jump Street makes it look simple ■ 22 Jump Street.

Directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller.

Starring Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill.

Rating: 7 (out of 10) JULIE CRAWFORD ContributingWriter

21 Jump Street was one of my favourite comedies of 2012. It didn’t matter that over half the viewing audience was too young to remember the ’80s TV show, Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum were the brilliant buddy pairing that nobody saw coming, and it paid huge dividends at the box office.

Directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who are already laughing all the way to the bank after the super success of The Lego Movie earlier this year, are poised to hit it big again with 21’s sequel, unoriginally titled 22 Jump Street. The title, and the silliness of sequels in general, is parodied throughout the film, from the film’s very clever opening (“previously, on 21 Jump Street”) to one character’s warning that “things are never as good the second time around” and the end-credits nutball ideas for further sequels.

So Lord and Miller put all their cards on the table, letting the audience in on the joke that the film will follow exactly the same

That means machine-gun style comedy writing: some of the jokes will miss the mark by a mile, but they are coming so fast that most connect.

After getting out of high school alive for a second time, officers Jenko (Tatum) and Schmidt (Hill) are sent to college to bust a drug ring. Some

of the laughs last time around were centred around the changing face of high school life: today everyone recycles and wears their backpacks in an ergonomically correct fashion, and nerds rule where jocks once reigned.

The fish-out-of-water mixup — Jenko was assigned to the geek squad, Schmidt with the cool kids

— was good for laughs.

There’s no such insight here, no hint that college life in this decade is any different than it was in the time of Animal House. And here the roles are back to reality, with Jenko joining a frat and the football squad while Schmidt dons a scarf and hangs with the arty kids.

Jenko forms a

friendship and mancrush with Zook (Wyatt Russell) while Schmidt performs some egregious beat poetry, beds co-ed Maya (Amber Stevens) and starts to question whether he and Jenko are compatible as friends.

Whereas in 21 Jenko and Schmidt built their bromance after years of Jenko’s bullying in real

high school, they start questioning whether they are meant to stay together in the sequel. (Yep, all sorts of homophobic undertones here; interesting, given Hill’s apology for a gay slur on The Tonight Show last week.)

The action is ampedup, a given for a sequel with more money thrown at its budget. A chase between the boys, driving a football-helmet car, and bad guys in a Hummer is a highlight. Also playing up the big-moneysequels theme is the new chic headquarters at 22 Jump Street, across the street from the Korean church. We get to see mean Captain Dickson (Ice Cube) as a family man and Schmidt is still desperate to impress him, in a memorable exchange.

Supporting characters are less well-rounded, though Jillian Bell is a standout as Mercedes, Maya’s roommate. And fans of the first film will be delighted that Rob Riggle and Dave Franco are back.

The third act breathes new energy into the film, just when things were starting to sag a little. All in all it’s the same stuff, different campus. But thanks to the winning chemistry between Tatum and Hill and the sheer number of gags that the film offers up, 22 Jump Street is a no-brainer.

VISUAL ARTS

Soviet hippies created their own scene Estonian underground culture rebelled against the mainstream ■ Soviet Hippies:The Psychedelic Underground of 1970s Estonia, Presentation House Gallery until Aug. 3.

JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

Make love, not repressive nationalistic authoritarian policies under the guise of a dictatorship of the proletariat designed to usher in a socialist mode of production.

Hippies of the 1960s are sometimes seen as a West Coast phenomenon, as unique to California as Coast Redwoods or a movie actor’s ability to serve as governor.

However, Presentation House Gallery is currently replete with photos and recollections of the Soviet Union’s hippie movement, showing just how far that vagabond movement travelled.

“Young people were feeling there was no hope,” says Presentation House Gallery curator Helga Pakasaar. “The need to escape was intense.”

Nikita Khrushchev was in power and more and more young people managed to snag transistor radios.Through those radios and a robust black market for hippie albums,Western culture began to slip past the Iron Curtain.

For those who believed “the world was one big lie,” hippie culture and the cult of love, pacifism, and cosmic and actual travel represented another path to follow, according to exhibit curators Terje Toomistu and Kiwa.

The underground movement compelled poets, bohemians, artists, and irritators of the bourgeois consciousness.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to FASHION & STYLE

Reality TV star turns to T-shirts North Shore sisters start apparel line

CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

FASHION FILE Our weekly roundup of fashion and beauty events and activities. page 27

A month after her eviction from the Big Brother Canada household, North Vancouver resident Neda Kalantar is focusing her efforts on a new goal: expanding her line of illustrated T-shirts.

Kalantar, 22, was the second runner-up in the second season of the reality TV game show, which ended on May 8 after 10 weeks. Just a few days before she moved into the sequestered Big Brother “house” in Toronto, she and her sister Roya, 27, launched a line of T-shirts called BLK & SAINT. Kalantar, a Handsworth secondary grad who now works as a freelance fashion stylist, designs the images and sassy sayings printed on the cotton shirts while her sister, who attended Sutherland secondary, handles the business side of things.

“My sketchbook has just been full of stuff for so long,” Kalantar says, explaining she wanted to do something with her drawings rather than watch them collect dust.

Some of the T-shirts feature illustrations, such as a pair of bright red lips or a cat wearing reading glasses. Others are emblazoned with cheeky phrases such as “What’s your Wi-Fi password?” or

g;64^ H0W,;32b6 6b5\*bW4 0W* .OR .&*#PU& -7I717 2 ,;W4b540W4 gb*0 j0Y0W406 6b,bW4Yf Y03W,^b* >ij A K?lgJ' 0 Y\Wb ;a \YY354604b* J&5^\645 ab0436\W` 5055f *b5\`W5 0W* 9^605b5% cmeJe MIKE WAKEFIELD “I don’t care about your diet” — the latter inspired by the superfluity of salad photos accompanied by healthy-eating-related hashtags on Instagram.

The BLK & SAINT label currently offers seven different T-shirt designs in unisex sizes, but Kalantar says she will be adding tank tops and is working on more illustrations.

When considering what to put on her T-shirts, she says she first thinks to herself, “What would I want to wear? And what

is stuff that I want to find and I can’t really find it in stores?”

Once she’s drawn up a design, she transfers the image to the computer.

All printing is done locally at Oddball Workshop in Vancouver.

Kalantar graduated from Ryerson University’s four-year fashion communication program last year. She describes her personal style as “all over the place.”

“One day I’ll just look completely emo or goth

and the next day I’ll wear a bright pink dress.”

But whatever outfit she chooses, she makes sure to layer on the accessories.

“I feel naked without jewelry on,” she says.

A self-described “diehard super fan” of Big Brother, Kalantar devoured the American, U.K. and Australian versions of the drama-filled TV show and has long wanted to be a contestant herself. She credits her familiarity with the show and its strategies for making it into the top

three and remaining in the house for 71 days.

“I was thinking about 100 steps ahead,” she says, noting that she quickly got used to being under constant video surveillance.

“You realize the cameras are there, but they’re not so in-your-face you don’t act like yourself in (the house).”

Despite not winning the $100,000 grand prize, Kalantar says being a See Sisters page 27

Fitness for your face TERRY PETERS tpeters@nsnews.com

The 5-minute Facial Workout by Catherine Pez (Robert Rose Inc., 192 pages) $19.95 Our faces are constantly exposed.

They are warmed by the sun, cooled by the wind, soaked by the rain and blasted by the snow.

Every day, every year, your face is presented to the elements. As you get older that exposure takes a toll and when combined with aging muscles, there can be very noticeable changes.

Author Catherine Pez wants to put your face on a path towards better fitness. She offers

instruction on a daily routine that will exercise those tired facial muscles and get them back working at full capacity. Her belief is that through exercise you will strengthen the more than 50 muscles beneath the skin’s surface that will then improve the

shape of your face.

There is a second aspect to this regeneration.

By stimulating these muscles you will improve the subcutaneous blood circulations resulting in better cell renewal and an increase in collagen. Both will help fill in wrinkles, restore skin colour and make the complexion more even.

Pez identifies the muscle groups first then introduces the specific exercises that targets them.

Each one is presented with an anatomical drawing to show the muscles affected and a colour photograph illustrating the movement.

Following the final exercise she describes several techniques for facial massage.

Sisters hope to expand line From page 25 contestant was a good, albeit “insane,” experience, and it took her some time to adjust to the outside world after living in such close quarters with the same people and having no access to a phone, computer or TV. “It messes with your mind,” she says.

“I don’t think anyone that left that house was mentally sound after. It takes you a while to decompress and become normal again.”

Now back to civilization, Kalantar hopes she and her sister can get their apparel into boutiques and increase their product offerings.

“I just want to expand it. We’re looking into making toques now and sweaters.”

happened in 2000. On a two-show day, he popped home for dinner after a matinee performance of The Tempest. But before he could get back to Vanier Park for the evening show, his wife went into labour.

“I remember phoning Christopher (Gaze) and telling him, ‘I don’t think I can make the show,’ and he didn’t bat an eye, he just said, ‘No worries, we’ll work it out, we’ll do it.’”

Today, Mackay has two daughters, both of whom come out to the festival to watch their dad perform.

This year, Mackay is in both studio stage productions. He plays the titular king in Cymbeline, directed by Anita Rochon, joining a cast of just seven actors who transform to play multiple parts.

Cymbeline plays in repertory with the Shakespearian-themed Equivocation, written by contemporary American playwright Bill Cain. Directed by Michael Shamata, the show is a co-production with Victoria’s Belfry Theatre. Mackay plays Richard Burbage, an English actor and the star of Shakespeare’s theatre company.

“There’s a bit of history there that the audience can identify with about Shakespeare and his company, and also there’s a great story by Bill Cain.”

Meanwhile, to mark the festival’s 25-year legacy, two reprisals of earlier successful productions will be mounted on the mainstage.

Former West Vancouver resident Ian Butcher appears in both. He is revisiting the role of Oberon, King of the Fairies, in the magical comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream, a character he last played at Bard in 2006. Director Dean Paul Gibson, along with about half the original cast,

Bard on the Beach run dates — A Midsummer Night’s Dream June 11 to Sept. 20 (mainstage) — The Tempest June 12 to Sept. 18 (mainstage) — Equivocation July 2 to Sept. 19 (studio stage) — Cymbeline July 4 to Sept. 17 (studio stage) Visit bardonthebeach.org for performance schedule and special event information. have returned for this year’s re-imagined production.

“It’s been a lot of fun because as soon as you start rehearsing again it all starts to come back, what you did before,” Butcher says.

With a strong foundation to build on, Butcher says the cast and crew have been able to look back on their work from eight years ago, tweak bits and pieces, and present it anew.

“The power and the sexiness of Oberon, which he’s supposed to be in this particular production, was a lot more fun to do because I had already done it and I had ideas to bring to the counter this year.”

Butcher also plays Antonio in director Meg Roe’s reprisal of The Tempest from 2008, though he was not part of the original cast.

With six seasons of Bard now under his belt, he says the three-month-long Shakespeare festival is one of the best gigs in town for a theatre actor.

“You walk away tired,” Butcher says of the season end. “But you just long to get back on (stage) again.You can’t wait until the next summer.”

Book review

Witness the power of second chances ■ The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin, Viking Publishing, 260 pages, $30.

Island Books is the only bookstore on Alice Island and is a business drowning in sorrow. A.J. Fikry operates his store by day and at night goes to his apartment upstairs to drink himself into oblivion so he can stop thinking of his dead wife. The bookstore was their dream and now it has become his nightmare.

Into this lonely place comes a surprise arrival that will change A.J.’s life completely. Delivered from despair we follow his renewal and witness the power of second chances.

Gabrielle Zevin delves into the turbulent waters of lost love, loneliness and tragedy but discovers

friendship, trust and redemption. She brings a well-rounded cast of characters to life and makes us care about them.

Her story spans years but is such a wonderful tale that it feels like it is over far too soon.

BOOKS

Wild child shares tale of survival Memoir highlights early life spent in the wilderness off the grid ERIN MCPHEE emcphee@nsnews.com

When asked how she feels about the great outdoors, Cea Sunrise Person lets out a hearty laugh.

“Oh my God, I’m so over it. I mean we’ve gone camping a couple of times (in recent years), but oh man, it’s so not my thing,” she says.

Person spent the bulk of the first decade of her life completely off the grid in the wilds of Western Canada, sheltered from the elements by mere canvas teepees. Under the loving, yet lackadaisical, supervision of her hippie grandparents, aunts and teenage mother — proponents of free love, recreational drug use and generally having a good time — the close family unit lived hand to mouth and found themselves in more than one life-threatening situation.

As Person grew older, she came to realize her wilderness existence could not be described as “normal” and increasingly yearned for something more.

However, the path she chose, a career as an international model that she embarked on at age 13, was rife with its own challenges.

Looking back on her journey, Person, now a happily married, 44-yearold West Vancouver mother of three, is proud to have finally found the life and happiness she long craved.

Interested in serving as a source of inspiration, as well as to provide a sense of comfort to others who may feel like outsiders in their

“I worked for six years on the book so it was a long time coming and there were a lot of times when I wasn’t sure if it would ever see the light of day. . . . I feel really, really happy and grateful and blessed,” she says.

North of Normal offers an honest and raw look into Person and her family’s past.

“When I was growing up and until I was probably in my mid-20s, I didn’t share my past with many people at all. If I did, it was just the bare minimum details. I was very ashamed of my past and very haunted by it still and sort of living out the consequences of what I’d been through,” she says.

It wasn’t until age 37

=b0 K3W6\5b cb65;W' 04 0`b 4^6bb' 1\4^ ^b6 `60W*a04^b6' c090 <\,Z% cmeJe KIccil:< when she was immersed in yet another challenging period — her grandfather had just passed away and her mother was dying of cancer, her marriage was ending, she was struggling financially, her swimwear company was floundering, and she was a

new mom — that she felt it was time to open up.

“My life was falling apart and I sort of felt like I didn’t have much more to lose. So I thought, you know what?

I’m going to write the story and maybe it will be the thing that will heal me and

then in turn help heal other people who may be going through something similar,” she says.

For the book, Person drew on her own memories, as well as stories shared by family members over the years. “I did get a lot of information from my mother before she died. I told her I was writing the story and she was excited about that,” says Person.

Despite the hardship faced as the result of her unique childhood, Person has come to a place of acceptance, and is grateful for its impact on who she is today.

“It’s taken a very long time. In my 20s and even well into my 30s, I was angry. I blamed my family for everything that might be wrong in my own life.

It took a long time to take some personal responsibility and to discover that I didn’t

want to carry anger around anymore and also, no matter what had happened in my past, as an adult you have to reach a point where you say OK this is my life now and I can’t go on blaming my parents.You’ve got to find a way to work through it, whether you go to therapy, or go to India for a year, whatever you do, you need to just deal with it and move on.”

Person says she made a conscious decision to do so and it was incredibly freeing.

“I realized that it was up to me to create the next chapter of my life and it had to be completely different,” she says.

A mom to three children under the age of nine, Person often reflects on the stark contrast between their upbringings. “When I think of the difference between their lives and my life at that time, it’s almost impossible for me to fathom,” she says. “But it’s the opposite extreme you know because I worry about them not having enough challenge in their life to make them resilient. I don’t want them to grow up thinking that West Vancouver is the world, that’s not the way the rest of the world is.

So we try to keep their eyes open in a lot of ways.”

Person is currently writing a second book, another memoir, but this time focused more on her adult years. ceaperson.com

from 1969 stated “longhairs,” characterized by outlandish clothing and a sloppy manner consistent with degenerate Western fashions, were only interested in “hanging around on the streets, and booze-ups that are accompanied by orgies and breaches of public order.”

“Statistics show that worker families comprise the majority of these inferior families,” according to the report.

Despite strategic harassment by the KGB, which included temporarily locking up youth in a venereal disease clinic disrespecting the regime, clandestine bars where bands played riffs on Western hippie music popped up in Estonia and Crimea.

Self-published spiritual manuals stemming from Eastern philosophies on yoga and meditation circulated, offering an alternative to the Soviet Union’s official atheism.

Hippies aspired to “pure thought,” according to Pakasaar. “If you put your mind somewhere else, you can be somewhere else,” she explains.

Besides music and meditation, there were drugs. However, it wasn’t as easy to take the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test in 1960s Estonia as it was at Berkley.

“They didn’t have access to LSD but they knew that it really put you into another place so they made these drugs out of leftover prescription drugs,” Pakasaar says.

But if drugs were hard to come by, clothes were almost impossible.

Pants that flared at the bottom crossed a line into Western decadence.

“The tailors had been instructed that it was illegal to wear pants like that,” Pakasaar says.

But there was one tailor willing to sew “forbidden hippie trousers.”

Aleksander Dormidontov, described by the KGB as “president of the hippies,” supplied bellbottoms for Estonia’s cornflower children.

Toomistu and Kiwa’s exploration of Soviet hippie culture began as an anthropological study.

After putting out a call for former or current hippies they fielded responses from a rogue’s gallery of jokers, smokers and midnight tokers, much to the surprise of many Estonians who were unaware their country had ever produced hippies.

“The people that they interviewed had never been taken seriously,” Pakasaar says. “That’s why I think this project is really important . . . to my knowledge it’s the first time it’s been articulated.”

Estonia’s independence from the Soviet Union has allowed a new legacy to be written, according to Pakasaar.

“I think this is the beginning,” she says.

“Those histories are really only emerging now.”

Along with Soviet Hippies, Presentation House Gallery is also featuring Bruce Stewart: Dollarton Pleasure Faire, which looks at the hippies, academics, and academic hippies who migrated to the simple and cheap life afforded by Maplewood Mudflats.

Along with a look at wilderness shelters photographed by Vancouver artist Liz Magor, the three exhibits show the appeal of transformation through escape. However, the exhibits also seem to point to the limits of the state when it comes to offering happiness.

Soviet Hippies curator Toomistu quotes outlaw tailor Dormidontov as saying, “Lenin didn’t invent rock ‘n’ roll.That was his trouble.”

Get your dad one of these, please BRENDAN MCALEER ContributingWriter

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

The most major design difference of this new WRX isn’t the fancy new corporate grille or the reworked hoodscoop, it’s the sedan-only designation.

That’s right, no more wagon.

I’m not sure if that makes me more angry or sad. Sangry? Angrad?

The WRX wagon (later hatchback) was extremely popular in past variants, splitting sales volume with the sedan right down the middle. It provided

Son surprises father with 1957 Chevy Seeing as Father’s Day is just coming up on the horizon — don’t forget to get your crayons out — here’s a feel-good story of a bond forged of Detroit Iron.

Mike King of Louisville, Ky., made a promise to his old man when he was just an eight-year-old boy: Dad, I’m going to get you that ‘57 Chevy you always dreamed of.

Roger King worked hard all his life, but never quite was able to get the funds together for such an extravagance. On his 57th birthday, his son called him out to the driveway to help set up a game of toss football, and then rolled open the garage.

There, inside, was a teal and white ‘57 Chevy that King Jr. bought two years ago out of New Hampshire, and had been keeping tucked away in secret for just this day. He’d been able to put the funds together by working overtime.

It’s a great story, so kids everywhere, get on it — 1957 Chevys in all your

WRX ready to shred

Scan the photo on this page with the Layar app to see video of the 2015 SubaruWRX in action.

At some point during your middle school education, your math teacher probably told you that the shortest distance between two points was a straight line.

They were wrong. It’s a Subaru.

Specifically, it’s this Subaru, the WRX. Since 2002, it’s been dispatching snow, gravel, rain, dirt, mud, and twisty tarmac with aplomb. Kinda makes you wonder whether our mail wouldn’t get there a heck of a lot faster if Canada Post bought a fleet

of them.

However, since 2002, it’s also been just a bit flobbery. That’s not really

an insult, just that Subaru traditionally set their street-ready rally-rocket up as if it was about to complete a gravel stage: a softness to the springs, a bit more body roll.

Totally redesigned for 2015, this new car is harder edged, more aggressive, and ready to shred the street. It’s more hardcore than ever, but have they kept that utilitarian friendliness?

Design Well, at first glance, you’d have to say no.

Sadly, it’s no more. At least, that is, until Subaru’s R&D department receives my strongly worded 30page letter and corrects the problem immediately. They will, right? Sigh.

a bit on the plain side. Like all WRXs, the little details grow on you, and despite the flashy, angular sheet metal, those are entirely reasonable 17-inch alloys tucked under the wheel arches. Replacement tires won’t break the bank.

LED headlights are now available on midlevel trims, and the body is flared out just enough from a standard Impreza to be sporty. A good start.

Environment Breaking from Subaru tradition somewhat, the inside of the new WRX is actually pretty good. Make no mistake, the Germanic competition is still probably slightly ahead in terms of premium feel, but there’s much less of that old econobox plasticity you used to see inside the soon-to-be-rattling interior of a WRX. Even better, the sedan is a little more practical than it used to be. Trunk space is up to 340 litres, and real legroom is up too, meaning adult passengers can actually squeeze back there without issue.

The seats still aren’t

quite as heavily bolstered as they were in those first early cars, but the cloth covering looks like it’ll stand up to people who have multiple MEC memberships, and the dials are big enough to be used with your gloves on.

Instrumentation is a mixed bag, with a handy display between the gauges that provides a useful digital speed readout, and gentle coaching on how much gas you’re using.

The centre-mounted display is a little less easy to navigate, and the small rearview camera is more a bonus than a reason to purchase. However, it’s standard, which is nice.

Performance While this year’s STI gets a carryover version of the venerable old 2.5-litre boxer engine, the WRX now gets a new directinjected flat-four. Now displacing two litres and huffing even more air through a low-mounted turbo, it out-muscles last year’s WRX by a staggering three horsepower for a See Plain page 45

TODAY’S DRIVE

Plain setup hides a secret Subaru rocket

From page 44

total of 268 h.p.

OK, hang on a minute: that’s not the whole story.

The WRX’s new, smaller four is both considerably more efficient than the outgoing model, and much punchier as well. The peak horsepower improvements are only a mild side benefit compared to the improved delivery, which now knocks out a stout 258 footpounds of torque from 2,000-5,200 r.p.m.

Power falls off a little at the top end, but this WRX has a spry responsiveness that even pro-tuned Subies can only dream about.

With the six-speed manual, off the line hole shots are excellent. With the optional CVT, it’s still very quick reacting.

Oh right, the CVT. New for 2015, the WRX is now available with an available transmission that seems selected for its likelihood of offending purists.

However, it’s actually pretty good: it might not seem like it makes sense to put something as ordinarily economy minded as a CVT in a car like the WRX, but Subaru has fettled it until it actually drives like a performance machine.

Flick the adjustable settings into Sport Sharp and it even gives you eight pre-set speeds for the paddle-shifters.

But if you don’t want an automatic WRX, nobody’s forcing you to get one.Yet. The six-speed manual is a little bit vague, with its cable-operated linkage, but it’s an improvement over past WRX gearboxes.

Regrettably, this is quite a rough-riding car, but the result is a huge leap forward in terms of cornering ability. Subaru seems to have spent their entire research budget on the new chassis, and it’s a corker. Equipped with a new torque-vectoring front end that can brake an inside wheel to dial in more bite, the new WRX turns in like the old car never did. There’s oodles of grip from those sticky, summer-only Dunlops, and the car grips like a gecko through the corners.

Forget any dreams of Scandinavian flicks through the twisty stuff — not until the snow starts flying. This new car is a much tighter drive, with good steering, and extremely composed dynamics. Anyone

anticipating track day work is going to want to look at more aggressive brake pads, but as-is, it’s a very compelling package.

Features Now starting at less than $30,000, the ‘15 WRX is actually fairly well-equipped from standard. A six-speaker stereo, iPod connectivity, Bluetooth, and that rearview camera are all standard.

Moving up to the Sport trim nets you a power seat, sunroof, LED headlights and foglights — this will likely be the volume seller.

The Sport-tech trim adds in satellite navigation and nine-speaker audio: while usable, the touchscreen controls for the navi and audio are a bit small. If you can live without a leather interior, you’re better off skipping the top trim.

Fuel economy ratings score well at 9.8 litres/100 kilometres city and 7.0 l/100 km highway. As these numbers are provided under the new 2015 five-cycle testing method, they’re actually achievable — naturally, premium fuel is recommended.

torque-vectoring front, and a proper dual-clutch automatic gearbox.

Basically, the WRX has the all-weather punch, and a bit more performance, while the VW GTI has a higher level of refinement and is just as fun. Either

way, it’s a great time to be an enthusiast driver. mcaleeronwheels@gmail.com

nor the driving on the left, it’s the tiny little shoeboxshaped micro machines you see everywhere.

These are the Kei cars, a strictly regulated class of vehicles that uses small footprints and tiny engines to dodge some of Japan’s road taxes.They’re cheap to run and extremely popular, comprising 40 per cent of all vehicles on Japanese roads.

But now they’re an endangered species.

Because the Kei car is more about a tax loophole than lightweight efficiency, they are of limited use in other markets.Thus, Japan’s factories are spending an inordinate amount of energy churning out cars that can only be used in the home market.The government believes that spending R&D dollars on such a niche market is a waste, when the money could be used to improve cars that can be used both at home and exported for profit.

It’s a fair point, especially with Korean and now Chinese automakers in ascendancy, threatening Japan’s former dominance of the import market. It’s also just a bit sad.

Many Kei cars have been imported into British Columbia under our 15year grey market rules, and while they don’t exactly look all that safe (most are the size of golf carts), they are immense fun. For bombing around the streets of the city, a tiny Subaru Sambar or Nissan Figaro sure beats a Smart Car for charm and personality.

Increased taxes mean the Kei car might be on the wane.Too bad, but at least we’ll still be able to import and enjoy them for a while longer.

Vancouver gets Alfa Romeo franchise No doubt the folks at Fiat of Vancouver are pretty thrilled to hear that they’ll be the first Western dealer to get the ability to sell the re-launched Alfa Romeo brand. One of just four selected dealers in Canada, and only 86 across all North America, the dealership will be getting the new Alfa Romeo 4C in extremely limited quantities.

Even if you grew up in an era where owning an Italian car meant that you spent more time with your mechanic than your family, this is very exciting news.

Fiat and Alfa Romeo have come a long way since those days, and their cars

make for a nice alternative to mainstream drudgery without the mechanical instability of the past.

Consider the 4C Launch Edition that each dealership will be given to display proudly in their showroom.

Lightweight at less than 1,150 kilograms, the midengined two-seater promises turbocharged thrills from its 1.7-litre engine.With 240 horsepower on tap and plenty of readily available torque, it should sprint to 100 kilometres per hour in the mid-four-second range.

Basically, we’re talking about a baby Ferrari for the price of a Lotus Elise.That’s not cheap, nor is it especially luxurious, but it’s a chance to own something extremely unique.You’ll have to be quick though as hardly any of these cars will be available for the first few years.

VW kills off entire movie theatre filled with texting teens — for safety It’s very simple, and very shocking. Before the premiere of a movie in Hong Kong,VW played a short video clip, with one text-based twist.

When the screen rolls up in the packed theatre, there’s the point of view of someone driving along a straight road, without anything very exciting happening. Next, VW’s IT guru uses a mass broadcaster to send a text to everyone in the theatre.

Naturally, because we’re all hardwired to reach for that phone when the chime sounds, the moviegoers all pull out their phones and check the message — BAM, the on-screen car swerves off the road and crashes.There are more than one or two stunned faces in the crowd.

The screen next displays a warning: “Mobile use is now the leading cause of death behind the wheel.”

Judging from the looks on the audience’s faces, the promo was pretty effective.

Enforcement of cellphone laws, education, and shocking spots like this all seem to be having at least some effect. If you find it too tempting to check your texts when you’re behind the wheel, then put your phone on silent or, better yet, put it in your bag and chuck it in the trunk.
