WV fisheries site in huge land deal First Nations, federal agency form real-estate joint venture JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

Three First Nations, including the Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh and Musqueam, announced this week they have

reached a deal as part of a joint venture with the federal Canada Lands Corp. giving them ownership of three properties worth more than $307 million.

The three parcels are all

former federal government lands.They include the $237-million 21-hectare Jericho lands overlooking the waterfront in Vancouver’s Point Grey, as well as an $11 million two-hectare parcel of vacant former fisheries department land on West Vancouver’s Marine Drive.

The deal also includes an 8.5-hectare $59-million

former RCMP property on Vancouver’s Heather Street.

Under the deal announced Wednesday, the three First Nations own 50 per cent of a joint venture partnership that will work to develop the properties, while Canada Lands — a federal Crown corporation — will own 50 per cent.

As part of the deal,

Ottawa gave the three First Nations a 28 per cent share in the properties — worth about $86 million — as a settlement for claims they had over the land.The bands agreed to buy another 22 per cent of the joint venture — worth about $68 million — bringing their share of the massive real estate deal to 50 per cent.

Canada Lands is financing that portion of the deal. As the land is developed, the First Nations will pay back that loan.

Chief Ian Campbell of the Squamish Nation described the deal as a “positive step forward” for the band that will result See Development page 5

The grace period is over in one of the most hotly contested parking turf wars in Deep Cove.

The District of North Vancouver is set to start ticketing illegally parked vehicles on Panorama Drive, which has been the site of a struggle between Baden Powell hikers, the street’s residents and commuters who park near the marina before heading to their homes across the water.

The District of North Vancouver instituted residents’ only parking on Panorama Drive at the outset of summer, handing out 34 warnings to wayward drivers during the road’s busiest months.

“We will start enforcement next week,” said the district’s engineering general See Trail page 3

Bus user gets jail for death threat against fellow rider

Judge sentences N. Van man to time served JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

Threatening a female passenger aboard a North Shore bus earned one commuter 68 days in jail.

Dale Reinhardt was riding a bus on Marine Drive in July when brown liquid leaked from a bag he was carrying, dripping onto

a woman’s leg. After a brief dispute in which the bus driver called transit security, Reinhardt told the woman: “Listen, bitch; I’m going to find out where you live and I’m going to kill you and your family.”

Reinhardt left the bus shortly after.The passenger reported the threat to police, who arrested Reinhardt a few days later after finding him sleeping in an alley behind the Harvest Project on Roosevelt Crescent in North Vancouver.

After entering a guilty plea, Reinhardt downplayed the threat. “People say that

to me all the time and I’m still alive, obviously,” he said.

“I don’t know her family. I don’t even know her.”

Judge Bryce Dyer sentenced Reinhardt to time served, which amounted to 68 days, and put him on probation for 18 months.

Reinhardt was contentious, telling the judge he was overpaid. “I want out of this courtroom anyway because you guys are all corrupt,” he said.

The courtroom was packed with North Shore bus drivers, many of whom spoke outside the court of personal encounters with

Reinhardt.

Drivers have documented 117 incidents — ranging from assault to threats — with Reinhardt, according to Unifor Local 111 vicepresident Raj Purewal.

Purewal said he hoped the sentence would include a transit ban.

Noting that Reinhardt would be dependent on transit for his rehabilitation, which includes mental health treatment in Vancouver, Dyer decided against a transit ban.

If the threat had been See Judge page 5

manager Gavin Joyce.

“We’ve given everybody fair warning.”

Parking problems on the block came to the district’s attention when Panorama residents complained that the congestion constituted a safety hazard for emergency vehicles.

In a column for the Deep Cove Crier earlier this year, Mayor Richard Walton noted the crowd in Deep Cove is “akin to the scene in a large shopping mall parking lot two days before Christmas.”

Long-term residents were often reluctant to leave their homes on sunny days out of fear they’d need to park a kilometre away on returning, according to Walton.

The situation has been exacerbated by the growing popularity of the Baden Powell Trail.

The district has issued two residents’ only passes and one visitor’s pass to Panorama Drive’s denizens.

Indian Arm residents were issued one visitor’s pass, which didn’t sit well with Indian Arm resident Giovanna Boniface.

“The marina is like our driveway,” she said.

“I feel that we’re being discriminated against by being labelled a visitor.”

Boniface pays $2,000 a year for marina parking but said new stalls at the marina are few and far between.

Many of the families in Indian Arm consider themselves Deep Cove residents, according to Boniface. “Everything we do is in the Cove,” she said.

“The only difference is that we live 1.8 kilometres north of everybody else and the district never put a road in.They let people build homes, but they never

bothered to build a road.”

There is no inherent right to use public facilities to park, according to Coun. Roger Bassam, who addressed the issue at a committee of the whole meeting Monday. “I don’t know why government has to be the provider of every solution to every minor crisis,” he said.

Car shares or residents renting out driveways could help alleviate the problem, according to Bassam.

During the jockeying for spots some residents have erected suspect No Parking signs, according to Coun. Mike Little. “These are not District of North Vancouver-issued signs,” he said. “They’re being defended by the neighbours and yelling at people.”

Deep Cove’s status as an international destination has added to the bottleneck, according to Coun. Doug MacKay-Dunn. “Deep Cove grew organically, unfettered by planning,” he said. “As the price of homes went up most of them got suites, some of them got, shall we say, authorized suites and more and more cars started showing up.”

The situation isn’t sustainable, said MacKayDunn.

“Deep Cove simply, from a geographic point of view, is not big enough.”

Approximately 37 families live on Indian Arm, some who can trace their roots to Second World War veterans who bought parcels from the government.

“The community isn’t going anywhere,” Boniface said.

The district has not issued permits to anyone who doesn’t pay taxes to the District of North Vancouver; however, council is set to re-examine the issue in December.

Photographer at John Lawson park raises concern

JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

Parents whose kids play in a West Vancouver playground say they’ve been creeped out by a man taking photographs of their children without their permission.

But West Vancouver Police say there’s nothing illegal about those actions by themselves.

Police were called to the play area in John Lawson Park by parents unhappy

about their children being photographed by a stranger on two recent occasions — once earlier in the summer and once Sept. 21.

Const. Jeff Palmer, spokesperson for the West Vancouver Police, said on both occasions an older man was taking photos of children he had no association with. “It was causing discomfort for parents of the children,” he said.

One mother took a photo of the photographer and

posted it on social media with a message to other parents.

Following the incident in July, police spoke to the photographer and determined there was nothing to indicate he was doing anything wrong.

In the most recent incident, a man — who is not believed to be the same photographer — was also approaching and speaking with the children. He also appeared to be using a “larger, more powerful

lens,” said Palmer.

Palmer said checking with parents before photographing children is good “social etiquette,” but there is no legal requirement to do so.

“You have no expectation of privacy in a public park,” he said. “You’re in a public place. Somebody can take your picture.”

Richard Smith, director of the Centre for Digital Media, in Vancouver, agrees.

“That’s the definition of public,” he said.

Smith said it’s possible someone could use the photograph in an illegal way after it’s taken — by posting it online with defamatory comments or using it for a commercial purpose — but that doesn’t mean taking the photograph is wrong to begin with.

Smith said most people don’t realize they are probably being photographed all the time in the background of other people’s photos. “They’re all over the web,” he said.

Palmer said it’s not unreasonable to ask the photographer what the purpose is, and to ask them to stop if it makes you uncomfortable.

Smith said one approach is to ask for a copy of the photo.

If parents are still uncomfortable, “You should bundle your child up and get out of there,” he said.

Palmer said if anyone has information about the latest incident, they should call the West Vancouver Police.

Development plans subject to regulations From page 1 in “long-term economic benefit.”

“It’s taken generations of effort to strengthen our relationship with Canada and have recognition of our aboriginal rights and title and how that translates into these economic opportunities,” he said. “For a long time we’ve been invisible in our own lands as First Nations.This is an excellent way to put reconciliation into action.”

Tsleil-Waututh Chief Maureen Thomas described the announcement this week as a “new beginning.”

Both Campbell and Robert Howald, executive vice-president of real estate for Canada Lands, said there are so far no specific development plans for the properties.

The land will be held under a regular fee simple title, which means development plans will be subject to the same municipal rules and regulations as other development projects.

The former fisheries land on Marine Drive (which does not include the DFO research station on the waterfront, directly south) has sat vacant for many years. “That land has never been used for anything as far as I know,”

F\a `94Va4 M3\a4Za3 )a7.42VaU2 W.U) 9U Ca32 D.U*910a4#3 g.4ZUa :4Z0a Z3 ,94)a4a) ZU 4a)7 bldFd GEbbhk8: said Nina Leemhuis, chief administrative officer for the District of West Vancouver.

The property, which sits between Burkenhill Road and Marine Drive near Sandy Cove, is currently zoned single-family residential.

Leemhuis said while no plans have been discussed, she expects whatever eventually comes forward will likely be lower-rise residential development — such as townhouse units.

Campbell said the partnership will begin a community consultation process next year. Any decisions will take into account “what West Vancouver would like to see on those lands,” he said.

“I don’t think it’ll be huge

developments that are out of place with the synergies that are currently there.”

This is the second major land deal announced by the Tsleil-Waututh and Musqueam nations this year. In April, the two First Nations announced they are partnering with the Aquilini Investment Group to buy and develop the $58million Willingdon Lands in Burnaby, formerly owned by the provincial government.

That followed an agreement under which the TsleilWaututh, Musqueam and Squamish bands agreed to give up land claims to 27 provincial Lower Mainland properties in exchange for $24 million.

Setting it straight The Oct. 1 front-page story, City of North Vancouver votes down draft OCP referred to

the city as not having a plan. The city’s official community plan of 2002 is still in effect, guiding

decisions on land use, development, health and the economy. Visit cnv. org/OCP to learn more.

Judge waives transit ban From page 3 against a bus driver, Dyer said he would have viewed the matter in a very different light. Drivers are “sitting ducks,” according to Dyer, who said any attack would warrant a severe penalty.

The sentence includes a weapons ban, which was good news for Unifor union representative Ian Birrell.

“Sometimes he’ll show a knife,” Birrell said.

Reinhardt has been convicted for assault and for possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

Birrell praised the judge for a fair sentence. “It’s nice that we were heard, even though we were silent,” he said. “I would hope Mr. Reinhardt takes to heart that if he threatens a driver there will be . . . severe consequences.”

Speaking outside of court, one bus driver said he expected to see Reinhardt on his bus that afternoon.

Besides the charge of uttering threats, Reinhardt was also accused of possession of stolen licence plates. A North Vancouver RCMP constable spotted two Ontario licence plates in Reinhardt’s shopping cart.The plates were linked to a trade-in car owned

by Destination Chrysler.

After entering a guilty plea, Reinhardt said he fished the plates out of a dumpster for their value as scrap metal.

Dyer had problems with proceeding following Reinhardt’s account, which he said could amount to reasonable doubt.

Despite Reinhardt’s guilty plea, Crown ultimately decided to stay the charges.

ust like every action prompts a reaction, every statement about climate change provokes an angry screed calling global warming a myth.

If it does turn out climate change is a figment of Al Gore’s seemingly barren imagination, we’d better find out what’s killing so many animals.

The world’s mammal population has plummeted by 50 per cent since 1970, according to a report by the World Wide Fund for Nature. The same holds true for reptiles, fish, birds and amphibians.

Half of them are gone due to deforestation, hunting, and the carbon dioxide we belch into the atmosphere.

For a more graphic example of what climate change has wrought, picture 35,000 walruses clustered together on a beach like rats in a pipe.

That image was taken over Alaska by a National Oceanographic and

MAILBOX

Atmospheric Administration team Saturday.

NOAA researchers surmise the walruses flocked to the beach in record numbers because so much ice had melted into the sea.

The environmental damage we’ve caused is extensive, but perhaps not irreversible.

We were heartened last June when President Barack Obama put some of the White House’s resources into investigating the demise of the honeybee.

Many scientists have linked colony collapse disorder with neonicotinoids, a pesticide that appears to attack the bee’s sense of direction.

We lack the expertise to verify or dismiss that supposition. We only hope the world’s leaders, including our own science-averse Prime Minister, act on the best information.

Residents of the 1000block of Keith Road were also taken by surprise by the district’s plan to widen our stretch of the road to put in a bike lane (purportedly to provide cyclists access from Ambleside to the Upper Levels Highway at Third Street/Inglewood).

However, in spite of residents’ objections and correspondence to mayor and staff requesting a stop work order until our concerns could be addressed, the district chose to push ahead, tearing up our road along with mature hedges and shrubs.

We raised a number of concerns that were never adequately addressed and specifically identified lack of neighbourhood consultation as the most pressing issue; however, the responses received ranged from inane to no response.

VIEWPOINT

LNG link to dam project trouble for Liberals A number of key First Nations leaders have adroitly realized the best way to kill the Site C dam project may be to hitch their potential support for building LNG pipelines to the dam never being built.

Getting First Nations’ support for any major economic development that involves land use or the extraction of natural resources has been the reality in recent years, and will only become more critical in the years ahead.

The strong opposition of First Nations is a major reason why Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline will likely never be built. Premier Christy Clark’s government faces a number of challenges in getting an LNG industry up and running in this province, not the least of which is ensuring First Nations don’t decide to block any pipelines or projects.

So when three key B.C. First Nations leaders travelled to Ottawa last week to send a message to the federal government that they strongly oppose the Site C dam - but might be open to supporting other forms of energy, including LNG

Keith Baldrey

View from the Ledge pipelines — it’s important that everyone sit up and take notice.

Chief Roland Wilson of the West Moberly First Nation, which would be most directly affected by the massive flooding that would occur if Site C dam is built, made it clear he won’t support any LNG pipelines if Site C proceeds.

His band is one of the few to have signed a treaty with the provincial government, having done so back in 1899.

As such, it’s not entirely clear how the recent Supreme Court of Canada landmark decision conferring aboriginal title will affect treaty bands’ opposition to Site C. Nevertheless,

kinds of industrial activity — fracking, gas wells, windfarms — and to add both LNG pipelines and a massive hydroelectric dam is simply too much, and that’s an argument that will likely gain more traction with the public.

So don’t be surprised if the B.C. government loses enthusiasm for building Site C if it realizes doing so may jeopardize a more prized part of its economic and energy strategy, which is getting an LNG industry firmly established in this province.

••• I see the Ministry of Children and Family Development is once again displaying its trademark tone-deafness, as it has apparently decided to deduct post-secondary bursaries from any financial aid foster youth receive from the province.

Mary-Ellen TurpelLafond, the B.C. Representative for Children andYouth, blew the whistle on the scheme last week, calling it “petty” and “embarrassing.” She had led a successful campaign to provide free tuition for foster youth, who statistically

From page 6 happening here is disgraceful.The time has more than come for a mayor and council who represent the electorate, not developers and their campaign donations.

Wilson’s support for LNG pipelines is likely needed, and so is that of other First Nations.This is not going to be an easy thing to secure, as not all First Nations share the same views on resource development.

Public opposition to LNG does not appear to be anywhere near the level attached to oil pipelines like Northern Gateway or Kinder Morgan’s proposed twinned pipeline project.

A “spill” from an LNG pipeline simply dissipates into the atmosphere, instead of fouling creek beds or coastlines.

The main concerns over natural gas extraction is the practice of fracking, which involves injecting huge amounts of water laced with chemicals deep into the ground in order to loosen gas deposits. But so far, at least, there is not much evidence of a groundswell of opposition to this practice.

But the opposition, from both the general public and First Nations, to the Site C dam project will likely increase substantially in the years ahead. Chief Wilson argues that his territory is already abuzz with all

Mayor Mussatto has now put his support to the $30M to $50M Roger Brooks proposal for the Shipyards, including a Ferris wheel, outdoor ice rink and a foray into City-owned commercial real estate.

I do not support spending $30M to $50M on Mayor Mussatto’s Shipyards vision until a solution to Harry Jerome has been determined and funded. We need to focus on established community priorities. We have limited resources.

face tougher challenges when it comes to education, employment and avoiding poverty.

A number of B.C. financial institutions stepped up to the plate, and provided free tuition or bursaries.

But now the ministry is “clawing” them back from these vulnerable youth.

Turpel-Lafond disclosed one case that saw a foster youth have a $1,300 bursary deducted from her support payments, and she says she

has heard from a number of other foster youth over the summer who reported similar stories.

Turpel-Lafond has demanded the problem be “fixed” immediately. Given her track record of winning these kinds of battles, I can only assume it will be. But as of this column’s writing, it had not. Get on it, MCFD. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC. Keith.Baldrey@globalnews

Draycott diaries are brought to life

Online project to commemorate centenary of FirstWorldWar STEFANIA SECCIA sseccia@nsnews.com

With Canadian FirstWorld War veterans no longer around to share their harrowing experiences of bloodshed and battle, all that remains is the written accounts of their memories.

That’s why the North Vancouver Museum and Archives has launched an online project documenting and contextualizing the written firsthand account of Walter Draycott, 100 years after the First World War. Draycott was an early settler of Lynn Valley and in 1914 he was thrust into combat on the Western Front as part of Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry.

“NVMA staff has long been intrigued with Walter’s life, the documents he left behind, and in particular, the tiny volumes that recorded his years as a soldier and military topographer,” said Janet Turner, archivist, in a media release.

Draycott took meticulous

notes and wrote extensive diary entries about what he saw and experienced while on the front lines of the Great War. On his deathbed, at the age of 102, he left his entire lifetime’s set of diaries — from 1907 to 1985— to the museum.

“The 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the Great War this year provides a perfect opportunity to share these unique materials with Canadians and the world,”Turner said. “Walter Draycott’s personal records are significant because they provide an entry point into the momentous changes that were taking place at the time.”

Each of Draycott’s wartime diary entries will be posted 100 years from the day it was written.The online project was launched on Sept. 13.

The museum’s website will feature audio, essays, photographs and other resources to help connect Draycott’s words.

For instance, many significant entries will be

INQUIRING REPORTER With the municipal elections coming up in November and nomination deadlines and finalizations quickly approaching in the next couple of weeks, candidates are scrambling to get community members on board for a vote. Bending an ear for what the community needs and wants may be at the top of the list for most politicians. So what should candidates be looking to change?

One of Nathan Vanderkuip’s earliest memories of his Opa is of him talking to Nathan about the importance of voting.

Born in Russia, Nathan’s Opa did not have the ability to vote until he immigrated to Canada. He felt a free election, a democracy, was the single best thing about living in Canada, and that voting is a right that is too often taken for granted. Since Nathan has been able, he has voted in every election (municipal, provincial and federal), and taken his kids to the voting station each time to teach them the lesson that his Opa taught him. #whyIvote

RebelWomen tells stories from the democratic frontlines

Suffragette sisters ■ RebelWomen. Created by Joan Bryans, from the words of the militant suffragettes.

STEFANIA SECCIA sseccia@nsnews.com

History is very selective, which is why playwright Joan Bryans laboured to breathe life back into suffragette women whose stories faded from the public eye.

Bryans said she only had a basic knowledge of suffragettes and what they endeavoured to accomplish, but never knew how widespread the cause was and how many heroines paved the way for gender equality.

“I read widely, and I must’ve read something and then I just was, you know how you wander around Google and the Internet, and I read something else,” she said. “I was really reading about suffragettes in London, England and then I found there were some Canadians involved. I thought that was more interesting.”

It didn’t take long for this discovery to lead to

CHRIS CZAJKOWSKI b=m8 n"

JALANAN b=m8 nn

●

more and more tales of trailblazing women about their riveting and sometimes eccentric stories.

“Within a week I was totally hooked,” Bryans said. “And of course now, with the Internet there’s just so many stories out there.”

After scratching the surface, the stories started piling up.

“I was just swamped with stories and then I discovered that one of these Canadians was called the Slasher,” she said. “And I thought, ‘I have to write about this Slasher, whoever she is.”

What curiosity Bryans had for Canadian suffragettes led her to write a play about the standout stories.

In its first rendering, the play — RebelWomen — had dozens of characters, but she had to whittle it down, which was a painstaking process, she says, because she was connected to each story.

The storyline traces the fight to win the vote for English women, including the help from some Canadians, in early 20th century London, England. It utilizes speeches, journals, letters and written material of the real women the characters are based on in an effort to tell their stories directly.

“I was just inspired by them,” she added. “It’s

incredible. History is very selective so I hope I’m regressing the balance a bit.”

After many edits, the play premiered at the Jericho Arts Centre last January to rave reviews and with a cast of about 15 – the biggest Bryans has ever written for and directed.

“I’ve done this before,” she said. “You write the thing and you hope for the best. It was preview night, it was the first time we had an audience and the show ended and the whole audience just erupted.”

That reaction led to a sold out, multiple-week run at the centre. Now, starting Oct. 3, Rebel Women will be remounted at Presentation House Theatre.

“There’s bits in the play that gives me goosebumps every night,” she said. “They also sing.There’s songs in it because these women had original songs in the period and they’re written by suffragettes.”

Many of these songs were written from jail, she noted, and her actors give them a haunting performance.

“It’s the original words of the women,” Bryans

Capilano U arts season has something for everyone Folk/bluesman Chris Smither kicks off music programming

ANNE WATSON awatson@nsnews.com

“They’re very contemporary . . . they evoke almost like a cinematic noir, but contemporary noir like a Quentin Tarantino film, with what they’re achieving.”

Fiona Black, director of programming at Capilano University’s Centre for the Performing Arts, is trying to describe Dead Combo, a 1930s-gangster-clad Portuguese guitar duo that are making their North American debut at this year’s Global Roots series.

“Their music is hard to describe as you can tell, but it’s really good and really compelling,” says Black.

The centre’s season, which runs from early October until spring 2015, encompasses everything from the jazz and global roots series to theatre and the classical and choral series, which features the Capilano University See Avenue Q page 18

Avenue Q opens theatre season From page 16 Festival Chorus and Capilano University Singers.

Black works on the programming at least a year in advance but if an artist is particularly intriguing, it can sometimes take longer to book them.

“I’ve got very high standards,” she says. “I will go after a show that I feel is really special even if it’s quite difficult.”

Black has been working to get Dead Combo for the last three years after seeing them perform at a festival in Portugal.

“I’m sure no one’s seen anything like them before, I certainly hadn’t and I’ve seen a lot of music,” she says.

Between working directly with their management, as well as generating enough audience interest, Black was finally able to book them.

“So they’re coming here in March 2015 and that will be their North American debut,” she says. “I’m very proud when I can help make that happen.”

Black speaks highly of all the artists performing in this year’s lineup, including returning artists Chris Smither who’s opening the Global Roots series, as well as jazz series opener Joe Lovano and Dave Douglas Quintet: Sound Prints.

Smither, says Black, is originally from New Orleans and will be performing at the Electric Owl. “He’s celebrating his 50th year in the business and they just did a big tworecord retrospective of his career,” she says.

Lovano last performed at the centre 13 years ago, shortly after 9/11. The New Yorker was having trouble flying out of the city and cancelled several other shows before choosing the centre to jumpstart his tour again.

“It was one of the few times when an artist walked out on our stage that they got a standing ovation before they even played a note,” says Black.

“They wanted to show Joe how much they cared and how much they cared about New York the city, how devastated we all were and we all just wanted

to give him one big hug, which is what it kind of was.”

Loudon Wainwright III, “who maybe is more famous for his kids than anything else,” says Black, will also be returning.

“He’s a wonderful artist, we’ve had him a couple of times,” she says.

“He’s got a new CD so we’re thrilled to have him back.”

And for a little more exotic sound, Hawaiian artist Makana will be performing in November.

“He’s a slack key guitar player, lovely player,” says Black. “We’ve had him once before. I asked the audience when I was introducing him, ‘has anybody been to Hawaii?’ and I think everybody put up their hand. So that was my lesson in life, I wasn’t sure how I would find an audience for Makana or if there were lots of Hawaiian guitar fans but there sure are.”

Canadian artist Richard Moody, along with performing partner Iranian-born Amir Amiri, are also featured in this year’s program.

“Moody Amiri are

another kind of really cool duo project,” says Black, adding that the Presentation House Theatre, where the duo will be performing, provides “exquisite sound” for Moody’s viola and Amiri’s santur, a 72-string hammered dulcimer.

“I wasn’t sure what I was going to hear when they sent me their CD because it’s not classical Persian and its not North American or Western music either, its just a really lovely, beautiful mix.”

Besides the variety of musical offerings, the season also includes “quite a robust theatre series,” says Black, with productions from the university’s theatre department, as well as the Arts Club Theatre Company’s touring shows.

“We’re going to be starting off the first weekend in October, Oct. 4 and 5, with Avenue Q,” says Black. “I’m looking forward to it. Its extremely funny from everyone I’ve heard from and it’s definitely an adult puppet show, not for 12 and under.”

Book review

‘Wilderness dweller’ speaks in NV ■ And the River Still Sings: AWilderness Dweller’s Journey by Chris Czajkowski, Caitlin Press, 256 pages, $21.95.

Many people feel the call of the wilderness but very few actually follow it. Chris Czajkowski is one of the few. For the past 25 years she has made her home in the wild landscape of the Chilcotin region of British Columbia. Her first cabin was on a shared property then a couple of years later she staked her claim to her own land and built another home, which she named Nuk Tessli.

What began as a correspondence with then CBC broadcaster Peter Gzowski grew into a regular inclusion to his program and

then in 1980 she published her first book, Cabin at Singing River. Finding a receptive audience for her tales of wilderness life, Czajkowski went on to publish eleven books. In this latest release she brings a

broader perspective to her journey from the young girl leaving England looking for adventure all the way to the end of her time at Nuk Tessli.

Her easy-going writing draws you into her unique life and feels as familiar as a letter from a friend. She tells of the joy of the solitary life without metaphor and speaks of the hardships without remorse.Through hard work and a clear vision she developed her own wilderness resort and guiding business until 2012 when she completed the sale of her property and left to start her next adventure.

Chris Czajkowski will be speaking on Oct. 4 at the Lynn Valley Ecology Centre at 2 p.m.

Busker doc paints portrait of Jakarta Jalanan made on the streets of Indonesian metropolis ■ Jalanan directed by Daniel Ziv (Canada/ Indonesia 2013) For schedule visit viff.org.

JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

In Jakarta, few things seem as ugly as beautification.

It’s the name police and governments give to progress, which includes clearing the streets of some of the city’s 7,000 buskers.

First-time filmmaker Daniel Ziv’s documentary Jalanan (Indonesian for streetside) follows three musicians making a living with their voices and guitars in a teeming metropolis of 12 million.

Ziv’s style is to capture events as they unfold, discarding voiceovers

on the city’s cramped buses, offering stories, observations, blessings from Allah, or occasionally howling for the blood of the corrupt before passing around a pouch, hoping the stone-faced commuters will stuff it with 10-cent bills.

Boni lives in a sewage tunnel under a bridge.

Despite not knowing how to write he crafts penetrating songs about Jakarta and its people, strumming his guitar without ever dropping his cigarette.

Boni is funny and resourceful, tapping into the city’s water supply to keep himself and his family clean, but we wonder how much longer he’ll be allowed to stay in his makeshift home.

Titi’s struggle is with family. The strain of raising her children and making enough to survive while living with a demanding and sometimes abusive husband seems like more than she can bear. Her songs are the sweetest. She stands amid gridlock, offering good tidings through closed car windows.

If the movie has a rock star, it’s Ho. Relentlessly honest and dedicated, Ho sings about hanging the country’s thieves and hypocrites in a voice that’s beat-up and kind of beautiful.

One of the movie’s most incredible sequences documents Ho as he’s taken off the streets and put in a cell with suspected beggars.

Before they put him inside he asks if he can keep his guitar.

Ho writes and plays and we get to see the faces of the most grateful audience in the movie.

■■■ Born and raised in the Dunbar area of Vancouver, director Ziv found himself “completely smitten” by Southeast Asia while on a pre-college backpacking trip.

After earning a master’s degree in Southeast Asian studies he moved to Jakarta and discovered the city’s buskers.

“It’s a phenomenon you see everywhere,” he says. “It’s not like the lone buskers you see at Metro stations in North America or Europe, it’s much more of a social, activist phenomenon.”

He’d written about the buskers as a journalist and author, but to really capture the songs, Ziv needed cinema.

“The story was so musical and so dynamic and colourful, I just felt this had to be told in an audio-visual medium.”

It was also a way to “paint a documentary

portrait of Indonesia” through the melodies of street performers.

He spent two months hopping on buses, scouting for musical talent with strong personalities.

“You want people who are not camera shy . . . who have charm and charisma,” he says.

He also wanted to document the marginalized poor without treating his subjects as “objects to be pitied.”

“I really wanted the characters in my film to have a voice and to have a personality and to have agency and be able to speak for themselves and be in charge of their own fate.”

He’d spent five years focused on capturing the songs, emotions, and ruminations on life of the three buskers before getting into the editing room and wondering how to turn 250 hours of footage into a story.

“When you follow people for five years, especially members of the working class in Indonesia . . . so much dramatic shit happens in their lives in five years, that we actually ended up with too many events.”

Worried about turning his verite documentary into a soap opera, Ziv focused on home, family and love.

For Canadians, the movie is a chance to be immersed in a world on the other side of the globe.

In Indonesia, the movie is a chance to be immersed in a world only a few blocks away that feels like the other side of the world “The rich people who saw it were blown away by this entirely different class of people,” Ziv says. “They came out of the theatre saying, ‘Wow, we didn’t know poor people could be so wise and so smart and we didn’t know that they shared the same concerns about their children that we do about ours.’You’d think that all of that was obvious, but it’s amazing how detached the wealthier classes can be.”

Ziv also organized free, open-air screenings for working class.

“They were blown away to see members of their own working class on the screen, not as victims or as objects but as heroes of their own story . . . as rock stars.”

Superb Italian Dining with a West Coast Twist

F

or over two decades, West Vancouver’s Carmelo’s Ristorante at 1448 Marine Drive in Ambleside has been a reliable bastion of consistently superb casual Italian dining.

With an emphasis on freshness and quality ingredients, their menus have evolved as people’s knowledge of food and wine has grown.

Today, Chef Adam Shaughnessy makes a point of sourcing the finest ingredients available and prepares braised meats, fresh seafood and traditional Italian cuisine with a West Coast twist.

Having an interest in food preparation from an early age, he enrolled in the chef training program at North Vancouver’s Carson Graham Secondary.

From there, he became one of Umberto Menghi’s youngest chefs at II Giardino, II Caminetto, Circollo and Trattoria.

He then worked in quality kitchens from Whistler’s Araxi to Montreal and back.

His passion for food made him an eager pupil and he learned from the best.

Today his skill and experience is reflected in the menu selections at Carmelo’s.

Whether for lunch or dinner, dine in or take out, you always leave with a smile.

VIFF put East Asian cinema on the map

TONY RAYNS

■ Vancouver International Film Festival, various locations until Oct. 10. For schedule visit viff.org.

JOHN GOODMAN jgoodman@nsnews.com

Vancouver International Film Festival programmer Tony Rayns has played a big part in introducing East Asian cinema to Western audiences.

Before VIFF started screening films in the Dragons and Tigers competition in the early ’90s the subject rarely came up. East Asian cinema as an entity didn’t exist.

Individual countries had established film industries — Japan and Hong Kong even found a niche for some of their product overseas — but not much of what was produced made it outside linguistic and cultural borders.

Rayns talked to the North Shore News about starting from scratch to help East Asian filmmakers

develop a worldwide market for their work.

North Shore News: First a couple of big picture questions.Your name is inextricably linked with Asian films. How did you become interested in East Asian cinema?

Tony Rayns: That’s a very simple story: the answer in two words is Bruce Lee. I think anybody who was interested in movies of my generation probably saw Japanese movies first. I mean Kurosawa and stuff like that which I had certainly done in my film society days, even my school days. Also BBC

television in Britain would occasionally show foreignlanguage films in those days. So I would have seen some Indian stuff, probably some Japanese stuff but for me the turning point was Bruce Lee. Early ’70s.

You may know there was a big marketing push by the Hong Kong film industry because of the Bruce Lee films. He’d been a child star in the ’50s but when he came back to Hong Kong around 1970 to make grown-up films, action films they were a big hit locally and regionally and then the Hong Kong company started to make a big push

to make the West aware of them as well and I was the sucker who took the bait.

That led me to an interest in Hong Kong cinema, that in turn led me to Hong Kong, from Hong Kong I started travelling to other countries in the region and started meeting filmmakers and started to get to know film industries that were pretty much unknown in the West at the time. It was a very interesting voyage of discovery but I can’t say I had a plan. I didn’t have an agenda when I did this, I was just following my nose. If I saw something interesting I tried to find out more about it and took it from there.

North Shore News: How did you get involved with the Vancouver film fest?

Tony Rayns: They approached me. Alan Franey took over I think it was in ’88 as the director of the festival. It was still pretty young in those days. It was still only the seventh or eight edition. I wasn’t here that year but in the spring of ’89 he was travelling in Europe looking for films I guess and he contacted me and I think we met at the Berlin festival or someplace like that.We had lunch and he said would you be interested in doing some programming for us.

We batted around some possibilities and what exactly the deal would be and we came to an agreement and here I still am all these many many years later.

North Shore News: Then you set up Dragons and Tigers?

Tony Rayns: We didn’t call it Dragons and Tigers at the start.When I started working here we had something called Cinema of the Pacific Rim — a name I didn’t like very much at all but which included Australia, New Zealand and other stuff as well. After we’d been doing it a few years Alan came to me and said how about we have a separate East Asia section and bracket Australia and New Zealand with the rest of the world? He came up with the Dragons and Tigers title because he thought it sounded kind of attention grabbing.

In those days, to be frank, the cinemas of East Asia were not very well known outside the region and they weren’t even very well known amongst themselves.There was not much internal traffic except for Hong Kong films which went pretty much everywhere. Most films made in the region didn’t travel outside their own borders.There were very few people like me who were travelling around the region looking for films, looking for interesting films, looking for something that might play well with a foreign audience and so we ended up in the early years premiering a lot of films that had never been seen outside their own country before. Alan thought this was quite notable and he wanted to draw attention to it more in some way and so I think that’s where the idea of a separate section came up.

North Shore News: Are there places now that

showcase East Asia cinema like they do at VIFF? Tony Rayns: It’s become much less of an exclusive thing nowadays. As I said in the early days when we started doing it kind of nobody else was doing it really. Nowadays a lot of people do it.Toronto plays nearly as many East Asian films as Vancouver does.

That was not the case 20 years ago.

I think the rest of the world has kind of caught up and people have begun to realize that there are quite a large number of interesting filmmakers in that region and are clamouring to show their work.

At the same time there has been a big change among the filmmakers.

When I started I would see a film I would think, “This is pretty interesting maybe we should get this subtitled and bring it to Vancouver,” and I would sit down with the filmmaker and discuss it.

Most filmmakers that I talked to at that time were amazed that anybody foreign was interested at all and were thrilled and delighted they could have some kind of showcase overseas. Now I don’t think there’s any filmmaker anywhere in the East Asia region who hasn’t given some thought to which festival they want to premiere in before they even start shooting.There’s been a huge change.The fact that we made such progress in 20 years means the people there think of things differently now.

FILM

Rayns pitched in to help filmmakers From page 24

I had been.

North Shore News: Early on you were involved with production aspects as well?

Tony Rayns: I did a lot of stuff. If I had to write press kits . . . we had to do a lot of work, basically unpaid work helping the filmmakers to get the thing into a showable condition just because none of the mechanisms were in place to make this happen.

Nowadays there are sales agents in the area and they look after things like this — they produce press kits, they supervise subtitling, they take out ads, they know how to market things.That was not true 20 years ago, so yes, we did have to pitch in and lend an awful lot of help.

North Shore News: Some

North Shore News: At some point in 2006/2007 your role changed at the film festival.You stepped down as a programmer but you still continue to have a significant role.

Tony Rayns: I didn’t step down as programmer.What I said to Alan was that I didn’t want to carry on being solely responsible for the section. It was becoming too much. It hovered for several months, it wasn’t quite clear how it was going to pan out but I wasn’t trying to give up completely at that time and the arrangement that we came up with was we would split the Dragons and Tigers programming so Shelly Kraicer, who is Canadian but at that time was living in Beijing, would take charge of the Chinese-language programming. He would look after films from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and also Malaysia and Singapore and I would do the rest of the region which includes Japan and Korea the two largest film producing territories that come into our ambit. I would also retain control of the competition and so even if it was a Chinese film I would choose the film for the competition and that’s the arrangement we ended up with and it’s worked out quite well I think.

It was a dramatic moment in a sense because I even had a speech at the awards night saying, “Well I think this is my last year doing this, goodbye it’s been wonderful working with you guys,” and then of course I was back the next year doing it again.

It was slightly embarrassing but anyway it was on slightly different terms. I was less overall responsible for it than

of the Asian films such as TheVancouver Asahi are outside the section. Are you

responsible for those as well?

Tony Rayns: TheVancouver Asahi is a special case. I saw

Vancouver Asahi in Tokyo in not-quite finished form, I went to the lab to see it.

Because of the very obvious Vancouver connection the company hoped there would be interest from the festival

in premiering the film.They thought it would be good for promotion in Japan because the film hasn’t opened in Japan yet.They are bringing See Festival page 32 TELUS STORES

Duo creates leather designs STEFANIA SECCIA sseccia@nsnews.com

It all started with one handbag.

Claudia Kreger was a stay-athome mom and building manager, and leather was simply a hobby when she walked into a second-hand store and purchased an old hipster bag with multi-coloured flowers on it.

She had no idea it would set off a chain reaction that would eventually lead to her partnering with Monique Ouellette to establish their own business selling handmade leather accessories based in North Vancouver.

Kreger bought the purse for eight

dollars and repainted the flowers on it with white petals and a yellow centre.

“Every single time I used that bag somebody would stop me on the street and their comment was always, ‘Oh my God, I love your bag, where did you get it?’” Kreger said. “I think probably after the 500th person who asked me, I was like, ‘I’m going to make this bag because somebody is telling me I need to do this.’”

Kreger taught herself how to make a pattern, started working with leather and eventually made her first bag. She enjoyed working with leather and went on to make key chains, dog leashes and belts.

Her bags appeared under a

different business name in a few select Vancouver boutiques, where Ouellette admired them, but the two didn’t know each other yet. It would be five years after that, in 2009, that the two finally met and had a connection.

“I just had this gut feeling, like somehow we’re going to end up working together and I’m going to learn how to do this,” Ouellette said.

Like Kreger, Ouellette had a creative history but never had any formal training in working with leather or creating handmade accessories. In 2011, the two started Trace of Grey Designs, for which they create one-of-a-kind leather accessories, including bags, cuffs

and necklaces, by hand.That means all the patterns, sewing and binding are done without the use of any machines.

“For me, there was a pretty steep learning curve right at the beginning,” Ouellette noted.

“Claudia is very talented and creative, and was a great person for me to learn from, get the basis of how it works then your own creativity has a springboard to go from and that’s what happened for me.”

They each work on their own pieces and bounce ideas off one another.

Fall features elements Dear Mattie: What colours are in fashion this fall?

Curious in Capilano Dear Curious: There are new colours that are in fashion this season and the way you wear them makes them trendy.The colours are casual and modern.They fall into the category of elements.

The elements are air, earth, fire and water. Not only are the colours of the elements in fashion, each element has its own style.

These colours create a mood with a contrast colour that cinches it.The contrast colour is usually within the range of the theme.There is a light and dark sense of style. I find this season to be very exciting as many colours are in fashion and you can explore your personal expression.

Pastels have an airy look to them.

The colours are soft and the fabrics flow. Pastels range mostly in the pink family, from pale to apricot undertones.

Other pastels included this season are lilac, mint and aquamarine.The contrast colours are wild fuchsia and conservative grey. Grey ranges from silver to charcoal. Pastels work with every lifestyle need, from professional to casual.There is a lot of wiggle room here.

Earth tones are my favourite.These classic colours are warm and cosy.

Oatmeal, bone, ivory and nude are enhanced with textures like knit and silk.The contrast colours are camel, khaki and cranberry.This is not a colour block look.

A third piece should bring the colours together. Sweaters have Fair Isle patterns and bottoms can be one colour or a few in the name of plaid.

Tweed blazers also pull this look together. Earth tones are not necessarily subtle.This look can be quite bold with a bit of equestrian mixed with punk.

The element of fire infused with red, yellow and orange tones is self-explanatory.These colours are bold and dramatic.

Many of the floral and graphic patterns include these colours. Florals include poppies, tulips and daisies. Graphics include the outline of flowers as well as circles and squares.The best contrast colour is black. Any other colour would diminish the impact of the pattern, not to mention the fiery colours.

The soothing blue colours of the sea are the most popular fashion colours this season.

Purple is an extension of this mood. Although blue tends to be calm, the colour blocking style that I am seeing is very cool and modern. Cobalt and navy blue are in everything, from single pieces to stripes. Blue is

the new black.The easiest way to incorporate blue and the colour block style is with pieces, especially if you don’t feel comfortable with prints and patterns.The best contrasting colour is white.Two colours (one of which is blue) plus white creates a Piet Mondrian-inspired look.

The accent colour that works best with every theme and mood is gold. Gold accessories create a chic gypsy look. From piping to threading in the fabric and buttons, you can easily add gold chic to your outfit.

Your choice of the size and the amount of chain links in your jewelry expresses how much of the trend you want to portray.

Hopefully you are not too overwhelmed by the abundance of colour options. Pick a theme you like and don’t forget the contrast.There is mood and depth in fashion this season.

Adieu, Mattie Mattie à la Mode is a monthly fashion advice column. Mattie is a freelance fashion writer and personal stylist.

Reach her on her Facebook page or follow her on Pinterest at Mattie a la Mode.

“Our pieces are individually constructed by each of us,” said Kreger. “So they are slightly different and yet cohesive because we have slightly the same esthetic.”

Working with Kreger has been educational for Ouellette.

“I continue to learn something probably every day, but I definitely can see a progression in the work,” she said. “And we work well together and our pieces are sometimes co-designed.”

When coming up with a name for their business, the duo originally considered Shades of Grey, but it already had a copyright and they didn’t want to be confused with the popular book 50 Shades of Grey.

“We thought of a Trace of Grey because life is not black and white,” Kreger said.

“Things are not one or the other.There’s always a shade of grey running through.”

Kreger usually writes

something inside the bags to celebrate the individuality of the person, the item and the hide of the animal used to make it.

“So carrying that philosophy forward to Trace of Grey Designs, the whole idea that things are unique and the uniqueness is often what’s beautiful,” Ouellette said. “We believe that people are all different.”

That belief is what drives the two to create each handbag, belt, necklace, cuff and briefcase as a unique item.The two utilize the finest leathers they can find and work with the hide organically to create each piece.

“Our reputation is on the line when we make something,” Kreger noted.

“If we make something and it’s not quite right, then we remake it.”

While they create items to sell at markets, festivals and other events, their time has been more and more occupied by custom orders.

Festival has been tracking Ishii since early indie days From page 25 over quite a number of people.Two of the young stars who are very hot in Japan right now will be here and they’re obviously going to have camera crews out in force.They’re going to be sending this footage back to Japan because it will serve as part of the promotional push in Japan for the release there.

North Shore News: They rebuiltVancouver’s Japantown on a set in Japan.

Tony Rayns:When they decided to go with this thing I think they did check out Vancouver and realized there’s nothing left of ’30s Vancouver.There’s no location inVancouver that would pass for the 1930s without a huge amount of modification and also it would not be very practical to shoot today on the Vancouver waterfront. I don’t think anybody would agree to close down their businesses for weeks so a film crew could move in.

It’s in quite a rural place but it’s based meticulously on photos from the period which I saw. It was really quite impressive on a very big scale and the film was essentially shot there.

North Shore News:The cast apparently had to know their baseball.

Tony Rayns: It’s even more complicated than that because they have to play baseball badly — at least at the beginning.We have to see their learning curve because as far as I’m aware this is a completely faithful recreation of what actually happened.When the team started they were a disaster.

They achieved absolutely nothing but they rethought their strategy, they developed techniques and so on and they got better and then started to win games.The film has to reflect that.They have to play competent baseball and get better as the thing goes on.

North Shore News:The film looks great, very old school.

Tony Rayns: I thought so too. I think I said in the program guide, it’s old fashioned but in the best sense.This is the kind of filmmaking that doesn’t happen so much anymore in these days of CGI and monsters and superheroes.

Very beautifully done and with a modern spirit.

North Shore News: Ishii

developed as an independent filmmaker.What’s his status now?

Tony Rayns: He’s one of the most in-demand filmmakers there is in Japan.We’ve charted it. He came here for the first time seven years ago with his first feature which was actually his graduation film from film school. A film called Bare-assed Japan, which is quite a modest, indie feature. It’s very small scale, small cast but very quirky, and interesting with unusual characters especially for a Japanese film where things tend to be rather conformist, I think it’s fair to say. His films were never at all conformist or they were rather critical about conformism. He stood out from the pack in some ways.

We showed his first film in competition, it didn’t win as I recall but it was wellreceived by the audience and he enjoyed his visit to Vancouver.We kept showing his films, not everything he made, but quite a lot.

Three or four years ago we premiered what was his last big indie film, Mitsuko Delivers, as an awards night gala film. He came back to Vancouver and that was in TheVogue as I remember.

It went down extremely well with a packed house.

Last year he wasn’t here but we showed his first major commercial film The Great Passage, which is sort of a star-led film about the unlikely subject of compiling a dictionary. It has big stars in it and he made something

very fresh and surprising with it.We’ve followed his progress from a small indie filmmaker fresh out of film school through to making big budget films with big stars.

He’s in seriously big demand.

This guy could make three films a year if he could find the time and the energy to do it because there are that many companies clamouring to have him make things for them.

North Shore News: He came onboard TheVancouver Asahi project after it was well underway?

Tony Rayns: He is not a Vancouver historian. He knew nothing about this particular history.There’s a woman who I think lives here, a Japanese woman who’s been here since the ’30s, now quite elderly, who somehow (had information on) TheVancouver Asahi and made it known to some writers in Japan.They came up with some script ideas, at least an outline, I don’t think it was a full script to begin with. Companies became interested in developing this thing and then somebody had the idea of approaching Ishii with it.

I think because Ishii had a personal connection with Vancouver — this festival having been quite useful to him in developing himself and establishing his name — he immediately perked up his ears and thought, “AVancouver story how interesting.” And one thing led to another.

“Empires have been built by many means, but the implication here is clear, theVikings built their roving power on a single collective facility: they understood curves.

This knowledge enabled them to build large, fast sea-going ships with shallow enough drafts to navigate far inland on rivers, and light enough to be dragged up on to beaches (Viking raiders got as far into England as Lichfield in the landlocked Midlands, and they raided and colonised far into Russian lands along the tributaries of theVolga).”

Coins stashed in Gotland

From page 34

Scandinavia but by far the largest concentration are in eastern Sweden and particularly the island of Gotland.The RBCM exhibit includes some of these coins obtained on Viking expeditions as well as a Buddha from India and a Coptic ladle from Egypt.

The Heruls had distinctive cultural characteristics including a warrior seafaring culture, animistic/totemic worship, shamanism, matrilineal socio-cultural status for women (suggested in Freya/ Frigg worship) and the use of runes as a writing system.

Between 500 A.D, and the start of theViking Age proper in 800 A.D., the elder futhark (alphabet) of 24 runes gradually evolved

into a leaner 16-character futhark.They were written every which way in the northern pagan culture: left to right, right to left, upside down and in secret code.

The use of runes disappeared entirely with the spread of Christianity through the north.

Danish writerTroels Brandt in his research article, The Heruls (2000, gedevasen.dk/heruleng.html), speculates that the Heruls were a strong component in the cultural make-up of Scandinavia, particularly in eastern Sweden (Uppsala and Gotland) from the Age of Migrations onwards.

Brandt’s theories are based on the research of several scholars focusing on Scandinavian and North Germanic cultures with a particular nod to Andreas

Schwarcz, a professor of medieval history at the University ofVienna, whose work follows the Heruls through eastern Europe and central Asia in the last years and on the outskirts of the Roman Empire.

Although the Heruls did not invent runes their distribution closely follows the warrior culture’s appearance in classical sources.The Herulian names Hrodolphus, Alaric and Haruth are mentioned along with the GothicTheodoric and Eric on runestones in Rok and Sparlosa from around 800 A.D. in Gotland.

At the other end of the Viking historical spectrum, Bardi Gudmundsson, in his study The Origin of The Icelanders (1967), places Herulian cultural components as significant

players in the formation of Iceland. Gudmundsson examines cultural traits in the family lineages of Icelandic settlers using historical research data and material from Icelandic sagas.

The 13th century Icelandic sagas of Snorri Sturluson, the Prose Edda and the Heimskringla, written in poetic form and based on oral literature sources from centuries earlier, contains both mythological information and factual documentation about historical events connecting central Asia and eastern Europe with the northern cultures of theViking age.

Highly speculative material but worth pondering while exploring the magnificent collection of rare artifacts on display in the RBCM galleries.

Playwright uses women’s own words to tell the story From page 13 noted. “I had chosen to write the play using the material of the women themselves. It’s like 95 per cent their own words.”

The play presented to North Vancouver audiences is also slightly different than the original run.

“Obviously, since then you see the audience’s reaction,” Bryans said.

“So this one is tighter than the other script that we used before — and I hope better.”

Bryans’Vital Spark Theatre Company has put on many plays either written or directed by her – sometimes both as is the case with Rebel Women.

She’s been involved in theatre for many years as an actress, producer, writer and director.

“I just hope people come out and expose themselves to these wonderful stories and have a good evening of theatre,” she said.

The play runs from Oct. 3 to 12. For more information, visit phtheatre. org or vitalsparktheatre.com.

competes with an interesting collection of rivals, including the Land Rover LR2, the Nissan Xterra, and the modern incarnation of the original, the Jeep Wrangler.

The real news for 2014 is that this year is the FJ’s last year — Toyota announced that it will stop producing the FJ worldwide likely due to declining interest over the years.This is unfortunate because the FJ is such a unique vehicle with a character that can’t be matched by today’s modern and smooth SUVs.

There are essentially two ways to react upon being told, “No, you can’t do that.”

The first is to accept that the odds are too great, the challenge too arduous.You can’t sow a silk purse out of a sow’s ear and you can’t beat a ploughshare into a sword. So why try?

However, the second reaction is far more interesting. “Oh yeah?” it seems to say, “I’ll show you.” It takes fuel from the naysayers and uses it to fan a fire inside that has resulted in some of the greatest achievements of man: art, science, flight, adventure.

And that, dear friends, is how we’ve ended up with the Targa Truck, a 600 horsepower 1971 GMC long-box pickup truck that just kicked the bejesus out of Porsches, ’Vettes, Ferraris, and Lotuses at the gruelling

2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser

One last trip to anywhere Scan this photo with the Layar app to see video of the Toyota FJ Cruiser and the Targa Truck in action.

Vehicles that can go anywhere, anytime have captured imaginations since the creation of the original Willys Jeep, one of the iconic vehicles of the Second World War. After the war,Toyota set about making such a vehicle, and it’s efforts resulted in the Land Cruiser.The Land Cruiser is the longest running series in the company’s history.

Early Land Cruisers were basically just bigger clones of the Jeep with a sixcylinder engine. But, after a few quick improvements, Toyota had the FJ40 model.

David Chao

Behind the Wheel The FJ40’s reliability and longevity has led to it gaining massive popularity across the globe, especially in places with rugged terrain

and extreme temperatures.

When production of the FJ40 ended in 1984, Toyota shifted the image of the Land Cruiser line to a larger, more luxurious SUV. However, by the mid-’90s, Toyota felt they were losing touch with the young, adventurous demographic and sought to create a spiritual successor to the FJ40.The rugged, retrostyled FJ Cruiser was the fruit of that labour.

Vehicles inspired by the Willys Jeep have changed and evolved in a number of different directions.

Therefore, the FJ Cruiser

Cruiser powers through sand or snow

From page 49

Design Since its introduction in 2006, the FJ Cruiser has changed very little visually.

It is defined by its short and stocky stance.

The grille/headlight arrangement and vertical windshield with three wipers are a couple of design cues from the original FJ40.The FJ Cruiser is also the only current vehicle to have the name “Toyota” spelled out across the grille instead of the emblem.

The FJ Cruiser notably has reverse-opening rear doors that do not have handles on the outside.

High strength steel was used so the FJ Cruiser has adequate side impact protection without the need for a door pillar.

With a length of 4,670 millimetres (183.9 inches), the FJ Cruiser is the longest compact SUV sold by Toyota in North America.

Therefore, it sits between the smaller RAV4 and the midsize Highlander in the lineup in terms of size.

As its base, the FJ

Cruiser uses a body-onframe truck-style structure.

Many of its mechanical components have been sourced from other Toyota products. For example, its engine and transmission are shared with the Tundra, Tacoma and 4Runner and suspension parts can be found in the Hilux,Tacoma, 4Runner and the Lexus GX. The cabin features many elements focused on improving off-road practicality. All surfaces are washable and durable, making clean-up after heavy outdoor use a breeze.

Performance Hidden beneath the long flat hood is a 4.0-litre V-6 that produces 260 horsepower and 271 footpounds of torque.There is no other available engine but you do have the choice between either a five-speed automatic transmission or a six-speed manual.

Models with the manual have a full-time fourwheel-drive system with a rear differential lock and a two-speed transfer case.

Automatic models employ a

part-time four-wheel-drive system with an automatic disconnecting differential and two-speed transfer case.

Also, FJ Cruisers with the automatic have the option of four-wheel Crawl Control, which allows the driver to focus solely on steering while the system operates the acceleration, brakes and the traction control to maintain a slow speed while ascending or descending steep terrain.

While the FJ Cruiser is mechanically capable and has an impressive 245 mm (9.6 inch) ground clearance, its front and rear overhangs only allow for a 34 degree approach angle and a 31 degree departure angle.This unfortunately means that it’s not as useful as some of its rivals when it comes to hill climbing.

The Toyota FJ Cruiser is most at home running over open trails. Regardless of the surface — be it hard packed dirt, loose sand or snow — the FJ Cruiser will just power through, making you feel invincible. Potholes, logs and rocks don’t pose much of a threat and you can leave civilization quite

Also, the air intake is set high in the engine bay, allowing you to ford substantial water hazards as well.

The car is surprisingly fun to drive, mainly because its character is unique and has that “rugged” feel you don’t feel anymore in today’s modern SUVs.

Environment The cabin inside the FJ Cruiser is spacious and functional and all of the controls are large and easy to operate in a hurry or with gloves on.To help with off-road navigation, there is an interesting and handy instrument pod on the dash with a compass, outside

temperature gauge and an inclinometer.

The steering wheel also feels comfortable and sturdy in your hands.The shift lever is within easy reach and features a large ergonomic knob.

FJ a throwback to when SUVs were still tough From page 50

have wide, flat cushions with backs featuring small bolsters.They provide an elevated seating position, giving good visibility out front. But the narrow windshield can limit how high taller drivers can look, making traffic lights a tad difficult to see when up close.

Looking behind or over your shoulder is not any easier.The full-size spare tire mounted to the rear door restricts visibility out back, and the massive C pillars create a sizable blind spot.Thankfully,Toyota has fitted the FJ Cruiser with a standard backup camera integrated into the rearview mirror to aid one of those issues.

Like all vehicles of this size, there is plenty of room.

However, accessing the rear seat is not easy thanks to the narrow rear-hinged doors.

But they are split 60/40 and fold nearly flat if you need additional cargo space.

Features Ranging in price from $33,540 to $41,925, the FJ Cruiser is available in four models, including the limited edition Trail Teams Special Edition version.

Standard equipment includes illuminated entry, cargo and map lamps, power windows and locks, and air conditioning.

Additional features, available as options or on higher trims, include keyless entry, cruise control, 120 V power outlet and rear privacy glass.

Fuel efficiency numbers (litres/100 kilometres) for the manual transmission are 13.8 city, 10.3 highway and 12.2 combined.The automatic transmission returns 12.7 city, 9.5 highway and 11.3 combined.

Thumbs up The FJ Cruiser can handle just about any terrain an outdoor enthusiast can attempt to traverse and is backed by

Toyota’s excellent build quality. It is still one of the most unique vehicles in the market.

Thumbs down The FJ Cruiser is far from the most fuel efficient vehicle, nor is it a civilized SUV in comparison to modern SUVs. The bottom line The Toyota FJ Cruiser is a worthy successor to the legendary FJ40 Land Cruiser and this is your last year to get it!

Competitors Jeep Wrangler The Jeep Wrangler is a direct descendent of the original Willys Jeep, a point made obvious through its styling and personality.The Jeep is also more capable climbing up steep hills and over large boulders.

The Wrangler has a starting price of just $19,695 and is available in both two-door and fourdoor models.

on a forest trail as it is in the urban jungle. Land Rovers are for people who want to go everywhere in comfort.

Targa Newfoundland.

It’s the most improbable of racing vehicles, a weaponized shovel with a thundering seven-litre heart that’s too long, too heavy, too old, and too ungainly to have any business being here. And yet it is here, and it’s here to kick some serious butt.

For those of you who don’t know, the Targa Newfoundland is probably this country’s premiere tarmac endurance rally, and sits high on your humble author’s personal to-do bucket list. Stretching over a full five days of racing, competitors rumble around the Rock on narrow, dangerous, winding roads, threading their way between the white-painted fishing villages and the rocky terrain. It’s a rough-andtumble affair — just a few years back, somebody put a million-dollar Ferrari Enzo into the drink — with an attrition rate as high as a third.

So, you can’t just show up in a pair of driving shoes with a track-day special.You need proper safety gear, a suspension built to take a constant pounding, oodles of speed and a mental

constitution that’s tough as nails. Enter Mark Bovey.

Bovey, a creative entrepreneur from Toronto, has had his truck for 26 years. He got the thing as a $100 beater when he was 14, a gift from his father, and it became a sort of rolling workbench. Father and son worked on it together for years, keeping the teenage Bovey out of mischief in the process, and letting Bovey Sr. pass along his skills in welding, metalwork and engine repair.

Getting it on the road took eight years, by which point the Targa Truck was still nothing like it is today. It had started life as a beat-up green farm truck, and now while the rust was gone and the paintwork refurbished, it was still just an old truck with a smallish V-8 engine.

Then, lightning struck.

Bovey started messing around with speed runs, building up the powerplant in his truck with an LS engine with the heads off a 427. He had some moderate success, but the real breakthrough came when some friends goaded him into bringing along the big hoss to an autocross session.

It was a joke at first: a 15foot-long farm truck on the

skidpad with Type-Rs and STIs? Ridiculous.

Day two of the course rolled around, and the big black truck started knocking down the times and taking scalps.The knowing grins faded. Damn.That thing is fast.

The next piece of the story comes via Facebook, with the official organizers of the Targa pointing out in a post dated Nov. 4, 2013 that no one had ever entered a truck in their dozen years of competition.There’s nothing against it in the rules, they said. A friend forwarded the message to Bovey, who at that point had been autocrossing extensively, modifying the truck even further to make it a better, if unlikely, handling machine.

“I can scratch that itch,” he wrote back. Gauntlet thrown down, and picked right up.

A supportive spouse and a successful Kickstarter effort sealed the deal, and Bovey and his partner-incrime Miles Markovic began the long, arduous build. A piece of advice from an old racer was taken to heart: “The best way to build a car for the Targa is to make it so tough you don’t need a crew.”The pair would be contesting the race by

themselves, without a team of mechanics on standby, as some of the other entrants have.They got to work.

Long nights with the welder and grinder ensued.

Slowly, sponsorships rolled in: everyone, it seems, loved the idea and audacity of a truck taking this challenge on. Bovey accepted a phone call from a performance parts dealer in Texas, the same place he bought his crate motor in the first place.

“Tell us what you need to make this happen,” they said. “We love it.”

When the build was done, the truck was shipped off to Newfoundland.With the 2014 race scheduled to start on a mid-September Sunday, the truck was supposed to arrive on the preceding Wednesday. But Wednesday came and went with no truck. Driver training was scheduled for Thursday but still no truck — it actually showed up Saturday just 10 minutes before the required technical inspection.

In the meantime, Bovey and Markovic were supposed to be doing their reconnaissance runs and learning the course.The solution? Call in a stunt double in the form of the fastest type of car in the

world — a rental Toyota Corolla.

The poor Toyota never knew what hit it, but it did its duty and helped the team realize just how much they’d bitten off.This was going to be 1,800 kilometres of pure concentration, with no room for error. No time to worry though, with the truck arriving so late, Bovey was scrambling to get it passed and ready to race.

Then, the first morning.

The line of competitors slowly shifted forward, until the Targa Truck was at the starting line for the first stage, ready to go.The pair strapped themselves into their racing harnesses, helmets on, pace notes at the ready. Bovey flexed his fingers on the wheel.The gathered crowd craned their necks to get a better look.

Go. Go, and the Targa Truck’s sidepipes erupted with biblical growl and thunder; it lunged forward like a deranged musk-ox. It thundered down the main street, rocketed through a chicane, and chewed up the first stage like a shaggy black Newfoundland dog scarfing down beef jerky.

The days turned into a blur of speed and rumble and lateral G-forces. In

the evenings, there was the warmth and hospitality of the Maritimes; in the daytime, it was straightup full steam ahead.The pounding was so severe, parts of the rear suspension came adrift, leading to a hurried roadside repair on the transmission.

But, in the end, they made it. Finishing second in the classic class ahead of a Corvette and a 911, the pair were exhausted and elated.

What’s more, they were hooked.

“I thought this would be a one-time thing,” Bovey said. “But by the second day, I knew I’d have to come back here.”

The naysayers, of course, would tell you that the Targa Truck should never have been there in the first place.

What nonsense — thunder and lightning on the Rock?

That’s the way it’s supposed to be.
