City of NorthVancouver mayoral race

Transit, density dominate City mayor debate JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

ote

Mayor Darrell Mussatto and challengers Kerry Morris and George Pringle traded barbs and bon mots in a debate that veered from a waterfront ferris wheel to the city’s burgeoning skunk population before a spirited Centennial Theatre crowd Sunday.

The three politicians vying to lead the City of North Vancouver over the next four years unanimously supported preserving public spaces at shuttered schools Cloverley and the Lucas Centre, but Morris stood alone in suggesting the city buy the lands.

“I think if the school district is going to be short-sighted and sell their lands, then the City of North Vancouver should acquire them,” he said.

“I look at these properties as a public asset that will be needed sometime down the road, and to reacquire those lands at excessive retail prices will never happen.”

That purchase would deplete city funds and result in a significant tax hike, according to Mussatto.

North Van pedestrian killed crossing highway A North Vancouver pedestrian is dead and the RCMP is investigating following a collision on Highway 1 on Wednesday.

The incident happened just after noon at Lloyd Avenue, only one block away from the pedestrian overpass at Pemberton Avenue.

According to police, the 29-year-old man crossed westbound lanes from the north side of the highway, climbed over the concrete median and then ran into oncoming traffic in the eastbound lane. Investigators do not know why the man was on the busy highway, according to Sgt. Annie Linteau, RCMP spokeswoman.

As of Thursday, the victim’s family had been notified though police are not releasing his name. The RCMP’s integrated collision and reconstruction team and Port Man Freeway Patrol are investigating.

Impairment from drugs or alcohol is not a factor, Linteau said.

Lack of affordable housing an issue From page 1

“We don’t need to spend tens of millions of dollars,” Mussatto said. “There’d be nothing for anyone else, anywhere else.”

The city can keep the fields while working with the school board and the community to explore options for the properties.

Those options could include low-density housing, he said amid a smattering of boos.

Pringle was critical of Morris’ answer.

“Mr. Morris has said, ‘I will vote . . .’ He doesn’t get a vote,” Pringle said. “The school board will come to council with a proposal and they have to vote on what the school board sends them.

They don’t get to create something else.”

Buying the properties would be worthwhile, reiterated Morris. “Let’s take that property into the city, even if we have to spend some money. Let’s not buy a ferris wheel, let’s not build an ice rink outside at sea level,” he said, before being drowned out by applause.

The debate was hosted by the Cloverley and Courthouses Area residents associations, as well as North

ote

Municipal ELECTION

2014 Van City Voices, a citizens group that has frequently called for limiting density.

The city’s waterfront has room for a ferris wheel, according to Pringle, whose assertion drew boos and groans from many in the crowd.

“I think that lit-up ferris wheel will shine to Vancouver, and Vancouver people will be coming over here,” he said. “We should be taking their money as much as we can.”

Pringle and Mussatto championed an outdoor skating rink on the waterfront.

For Mussatto, the waterfront should be a gathering place amidst highdensity development with a

hub similar to the Robson Square Ice Rink.

“Without a doubt, I think the success of the Friday Night Markets is a glimpse of the future,” he said.

The city needs to give developers less leverage when negotiating community benefits, according to Pringle.

Developments that are larger than what is allowed under the official community plan often include extras like daycare provided by developers, forcing councillors who disagree with the project to also vote against daycare.

“We don’t want the developers, during the public hearing, to look like they’re blackmailing council,” Pringle said.

Any money paid to the city for extra density should go into a separate fund, according to Pringle.

The city has prospered through its density bonus policy, according to Mussatto.

“Look at our library.That library was density bonused in,” he said. “We wouldn’t have the Kiwanis units at 15th and St. Andrews.We wouldn’t have the Legion tower building.That was all

density bonusing: six floors of non-market rental housing for seniors.”

The current application of the density bonus policy results in developers getting whatever they want, according to Morris.

“It has been almost a way to thwart the OCP,” he said.

If elected, Morris said he would publicly disclose the Lonsdale Energy Corp.’s financial information.

“We expanded ourselves into $12.5-million worth of debt without coming before council even and asking for the authority to borrow that money,” he said. “I’d like to know how the mayor justified deviating from the policies where we let short-term accounts payable become term loans, left unpaid, for five years.”

As a competitor with companies like Fortis, LEC is obligated to maintain customer confidentiality, according to Mussatto.

“We disclose as much as we can legally . . . but we are bound by our relationship with our customers.”

Mussatto touted LEC as one of the cheapest and highest quality sources of space and water heating in the province.

“Lonsdale Energy Corporation is owned by you,” he said.

Pringle advocated turning LEC into a city department to allow public access to the company’s information.

“Although you all own it, only the city itself is a shareholder,” he said.

On the subject of affordable housing, Pringle suggested the city’s influence was limited.

“I don’t think the city can affect a whole market in the Lower Mainland and suddenly change the rules of supply and demand,” he said. “We don’t have affordable housing here because we live in a better place. I could move back to Windsor (Ont.) right now if I wanted to live for $620, but I want to live in a place where I won’t slip in the sidewalk in front of me.”

Mussatto pointed to the units leased to single mothers by Hollyburn Family Services.Those units are made possible by working with developers and property owners, he explained.

“We’ll give them a bit more floor space area so that we get some non-market rental housing.”

Woman, dogs rescued in Lynn Creek Trio of swollen river rescues keep District firefighters hopping BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

District of North Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services responded to three rescue calls in three days at the same location — a section of the Sea to Sky trail that typically never

requires first responders’ attention.

Dogs and humans alike found themselves in over their heads about 500 metres from the trailhead at Inter River Park Saturday afternoon when an off-leash dog fell more than six metres down a cliff ledge.

“Apparently the dog was running around and basically ran over the cliff and landed on the ledge below. It was stuck there and couldn’t go up or down,” said assistant chief Jim Bonneville.

The crew set up a technical rope rescue, allowing one member to rappel down to the dog where he expected a short struggle to get the dog into a harness.

“The dog actually leapt

into his arms as soon as he got there,” Bonneville said.

Barely 24 hours later, district crews were back at the same spot for a far more high-risk rescue when a woman tried to save her dog after it was swept down.

“She had the wits about her to push herself up onto the logjam as she got swept towards it. Extremely, extremely dangerous as you can imagine,” he said, noting

the fast flowing water that rushes underneath logjams. “You get in that and you’re finished because the pressure of the water just holds you in.”

Crews rescued the “cold but not hypothermic” woman and her dog using an inflatable boat tethered to the shore and guided by firefighters.

While the dogs being off-leash was the SeeWoman page 5

The city’s stock of affordable housing is depleted as three-storey walkups are demolished to make way for smaller, much more expensive units, according to Morris.

“We’re working at crosspurposes to affordability,” he said.

While Mussatto urged support for an upcoming referendum on public transit, Morris proposed a different attitude in dealing with TransLink. “Let’s have the mayor of North Vancouver go to TransLink, kick a little butt, and get us some buses.”

On the subject of foraging critters, Morris favoured a cull and relocation program for skunks and raccoons while Mussatto suggested eliminating the problem by reducing food sources and managing waste more judiciously.

Pringle proposed a different solution. “I’d like to see, rather than just a culling, a mass shipment of skunks to West Vancouver,” he said, drawing laughs from the crowd.

Next city all-candidates debate is Nov. 4, 11:30-1 p.m. at Capilano University’s CSU Library Lounge.The election is Nov. 15.

precipitating factor in both rescues, Bonneville said it’s not realistic to ask dog walkers to keep their canines tethered in the area.

“You could say dogs should be on leashes but

it ain’t going to happen.

It’s a big open forested walking area,” he said.

“Instead, keep your dogs away from swollen rivers.

Dogs make bad judgments too.”

Firefighters were right back to the same location again on Monday

afternoon after a woman slipped on the damp boardwalk and suffered a compound fracture in her ankle. She had to be carried out on a stretcher, bringing an end to the odd trilogy.

“We never go there. It’s bizarre,” Bonneville said.

“box type” jeep approaching teens in the Ridgewood Drive and Edgemont Boulevard areas on Tuesday around 3:30 p.m.

Cpl. Richard De Jong, North Vancouver RCMP spokesman, said in both incidents, the man reportedly called to teenaged girls from his vehicle.When the girls walked over, the man requested a sexual favour in exchange for cash, said De Jong.

The man then exposed himself. In both cases, the girls ran away and either called their families or police.

The victims, two 15year-olds and a 17-year-old, were not touched or harmed physically, De Jong said.

The suspect is described as being 25 to 35 years old with olive skin, weighing about 85 kilograms. He has short black hair and a beard and was wearing a white shirt and dark jeans at the time of the incidents.

“It’s uncommon for this type of behaviour to occur in North Vancouver but when it does, of course, police take it very seriously,” De Jong said.

“We encourage parents to

remind their children of the dangers of speaking to strangers, to be aware of this vehicle and the behaviour of the driver. If the public sees this vehicle, they are asked not to approach it but to note the licence plate number and call 9-1-1.”

In the meantime, police are taking witness statements and canvassing the area for any surveillance video that might have captured the incidents.

RCMP crime analysts are searching for any suspects who match the profile.

Trick or treat

I

t’s Halloween, when ghosts, goblins and ghouls are expected to roam our streets.

This year, of course, local politicians are adding to the mix, joining trick-ortreaters on their door-knocking rounds.

The candidates aren’t after candy.

They’re looking for something even sweeter — your vote.

But — similar to costumed Halloween characters — sometimes it’s hard to figure out who the real people are behind the smiling, baby-kissing masks.

Candidates at election time are chameleons.

Reading their campaign materials, it can be hard to distinguish between them.

Everyone is in favour of affordable housing, neighbourhood character, families, seniors, motherhood and apple pie.

We say: a little less talk, a little more action.

MAILBOX

Past behaviour is often a good predictor of future behaviour.

For incumbents, look at how the candidates voted on particular decisions.

How did they react to that daycare proposal in the neighbourhood? Did they vote for or against a highrise tower project?

For those new to politics, it’s worth looking at their backgrounds. Are they stepping up with a particular party ideology? How have they been involved in the life of the community?

Admittedly, this kind of unwrapping takes a little work. But it’s the only way to tell if there’s a trick or a treat in the offing.

We’re used to exhortations to “get out and vote.”

But voting with no idea of what you’re voting for is arguably as bad as not voting at all.

And that’s something that’s really scary.

Clearly more infrastructure is needed, including improved transit service, and this will only be achieved through

maximizing provincial and federal contributions. It is fundamental that we elect councils on the North Shore that can effectively collaborate with Metro Vancouver and TransLink in pursuit of these important projects and services.

in an expensive regulated business model doesn’t mean the customers should suffer.

I’ve used Uber many times. The first time was in Vancouver (yes, they were here before they were drummed out of town by the cab companies). I use them regularly in Los

Angeles, San Francisco and Palm Springs. They always provide excellent service and offer nicer cars than the taxi companies offer. They are safe, efficient, polite and fast. In most locations you have a choice of Uber town cars, SUV or economy cars.

The cab company

owner you quoted is somewhat misinformed about the supposed dangers of using Uber.

I feel safer with Uber drivers. Before they arrive, the Uber app identifies your driver by name with a photo, his user rating and the type of vehicle he is driving. Not being able to

get a cab can put people in dangerous situations too.

Uber is wildly popular because consumers want what they offer. The cab companies need to either adapt or accept their fate.

Richard Bullock North Vancouver

Woodfibre LNG letter a real eye-opener Dear Editor: Roger Sweeny’s letter (Howe Sound No Place for LNG, Oct. 19 Mailbox) was an eyeopener about the real risks of developing an LNG terminal at the Woodfibre site.

Kudos to Mr. Sweeny for apprising us of this

information.

No one at any level of government has informed the public about these issues. I would suggest that he contact the provincial government (if he has not already done so) with his detailed description of these risks.

If there is an

opportunity to sign on as a contributor or intervener, in the event of a public input process on the environmental analysis of a proposed LNG project, I would hope that Mr. Sweeny, or someone else with this level of awareness, would do so.

I would be curious

to know whether the information he has provided would also apply to a potential LNG terminal at Prince Rupert.

Kudos also to West Vancouver council for their stand against the terminal siting.

VIEWPOINT

Treat addiction issues, don’t curb civil liberties

Other than the installation of a screening device (to be used only at certain times), I don’t expect there to be many changes to security at the B.C. legislature, even in the wake of last week’s terrible events on Parliament Hill.

And that’s the way things should be.The murder of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo while he kept watch at the National War Memorial was unspeakably evil and tragic, and it understandably sent shock waves across the country.

But the killing was the work of a drug addict whose life had unraveled and was spinning out of control.The tragedy was not the result of state-sponsored terrorism or a jihad, but was instead an awful example of an individual running amok.

And so this horrible episode should not be an excuse for curbing civil liberties, or encroaching on the freedom of the general public. Instead, it should compel governments to take more action when it comes to fighting drug addiction or dealing with mental health issues.

That’s not to say there isn’t a need to reexamine security levels where appropriate.There appears to be little doubt the whole episode revealed some serious security flaws on Parliament Hill, but they don’t exist in the same manner at the B.C. legislature.

For example, the killer on Parliament Hill was able to run down a hallway that allowed access to the caucus rooms of two political parties, which potentially made him a menace to the Prime Minister.

But at the B.C.

Keith Baldrey

View from the Ledge legislature, the caucus offices of both major parties are inaccessible to the public.

In fact, half of the main building is already off-limits to the public, and so are both annexes (one houses the government caucus, while the other is the premier’s office).

The back half of the building (which includes the legislative chamber itself, as well as the library and various cabinet and caucus

offices) is accessible only through an electronic pass card, which is issued only to staff and occasionally to approved visitors.

The front part of the building, where the public is free to roam, also includes offices, but every one of them is behind a door that is locked 24 hours a day. As well, there are at least several security guards in sight at all times, and a series of surveillance cameras keep track of everything happening outside, on the legislature grounds.

That screening device will be installed in the basement, and the public will have to enter the building after passing through this machine — but likely only on days when the legislature is sitting (a metal detector already exists for those wanting to sit in the public gallery to watch a legislature sitting).

In other words, not a

lot of change to security is likely needed, nor expected.

There is a review under way of existing security measures, but hopefully it concludes that the openness of the “people’s house” takes precedence over any major clampdown on freedom of movement.

But this focus on security reviews across Canada is somewhat misplaced.The Parliament Hill shooter was

addicted to crack cocaine, and he actually committed a previous crime (a robbery) in order to be thrown in jail, where he thought he would have an opportunity to be treated for his addiction.

Instead, he was released from jail after just one day in custody.The fact he began to immerse himself in radicalized Islam is indeed part of the narrative here, but only part of it.

The shooter appears to have become isolated, angry, frustrated and desperate.

This in no way excuses his monstrous crime, of course, but it is foolish to think that simply hiring more security guards or installing more surveillance cameras is the proper way to deal with someone in his situation.

By all means, Canada has See Society page 10

MORRIS FOR MAYOR

The Lower Lonsdale Business Association (‘LLBA’), comprised of a very small number of members, last night declared its intent to support a candidate slate that will push to install a BIA in Lower Lonsdale using a negative petition bylaw.

That bylaw process will cause an all new and additional tax to be applied to each and every business operating in the LoLo area, unless the property owners rise up within 30 days and oppose the bylaw. The businesses who will pay the new tax don’t get a vote in the process.

I don’t oppose a BIA. I oppose the fact that the businesses who pay this new tax don’t get a vote in the process. It’s undemocratic!

Slate members who support this new tax on business are the current Mayor, Linda Buchanan, Craig Keating, Iani Makriis, Matt Clark, Holly Back and Kathy McGrenera. The Mayor’s helper “FOR A BETTER TOMORROW” George Pringle, also gets the LLBA nod.

Heavy rains trigger reservoir debris slides BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

Metro Vancouver crews are doing cleanup work at Capilano Lake after heavy rains triggered a series of debris slides last week.

The slides happened sometime between Oct. 21 and 22 in the Sisters Creek drainage, which flows from the Lions to the north end of the lake.

“It was about 140 millimetres came down in a 12-hour period,” said Bob

Cavill, Metro’s watershed division manager. “You can kind of get a grip on the amount of rainfall that was. . . . There was a break in the weather on Friday and we got up in a helicopter and had a look about. We tallied six slides in the Sisters Creek drainage.”

The result was piles of debris and uprooted trees winding up in the reservoir and a plume of muddy sediment turning the water brown.

But the slides and resulting turbidity

shouldn’t result in any human health concerns as the Lower Mainland’s water is drawn entirely from Metro Vancouver’s facilities at Mount Seymour and Coquitlam this time of year, Cavill said.

“Hopefully the turbidity will clear with time but right now we’re in a real stormy period so there could be more turbidity events,” he said.

As for wildlife, Cavill said he doesn’t expect any lasting effects.

“There are resident trout and there are small salmon that overwinter in the watershed but they’ve survived for millennia in that system and there’s been debris flows over that period of time as well,”

he said.

Metro staff were on site on Thursday to “bag up” debris but heavy lifting will come when the lake’s water level rises.

“Right now the lake has been drawn down to

do some work at the south end but as the lake goes up, any of the logs that are sitting high and dry will start to float. That gives us an opportunity to bundle them up and take them out the reservoir,” he said.

Over 80% of the businesses in Edgemont Village are owned and operated by women.

COME TO MOMMA!

INQUIRING REPORTER Many of us remember the long nights of childhood when a mother’s soothing words were small protection against the thing in the corner. As we grow older, we recall how night’s monster died with the flick of the light switch and the way its tentacles turned to pants.

Binging bruin trapped in Brit Properties

Garbage-eating bear trucked out to backcountry BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

Conservation officers are putting the warning out: black bears are on a hungry push to pack on pounds before their winter hibernation.

Conservation officers caught a bear in the British Properties late last week

after it had broken into an Andover Crescent garage by pushing on the door until the bolt broke, according to conservation officer Simon Gravel.

“This bear was 400 pounds. For him, it’s nothing to push through a door like this,” Gravel said.

The bear’s efforts were rewarded with easy access to a meal of unsecured garbage.

Gravel said the bear would likely be dropped off about 40 kilometres up a backcountry logging road. The hope is that he

find his own sources of food and not be chased away by another bear that has already claimed that territory. Likely, though, the bear will be back and looking for more easy meals in the same neighbourhood.

“It’s not a very good solution for us to relocate a bear like this but we’d like to put the burden on people and not on the bears as much as we can.

We’ll destroy the bear if he becomes a risk to the public and he’s really on the threshold. It’s really on the

people in the community to save that bear by making sure he doesn’t have any reward anymore.”

The only thing worse would be if the bear confronted someone inside their home.

“If you have a bear like this in your kitchen, you’re going to lose the battle. It’s potentially very dangerous. That’s why it’s so important for everyone to not be negligent and invest in proper storage.”

“

Everyone in bear-prone neighbourhoods should be keeping their yards, garages and sheds free of anything that may attract bears, including garbage, fallen fruit, birdseed or even dirty barbecues.

LOCAL IS THE NEW BLACK

Tickets: $20, available at theshophamlet. brownpapertickets.com.

CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

A new production of Shakespeare’s Hamlet seeks to recharge the Bard’s often-staged tragedy by casting a woman in the title role.

Identical twins and Bowen Island natives Kailey and Sam Spear are the brains behind BlackSpear Productions. For their unorthodox take on Hamlet, which runs until Nov. 9 at The Shop Theatre in Vancouver, they hand-picked fellow Bowen native and NewYork-trained actress Libby Osler to portray the melancholy Danish prince (now princess). Three other characters traditionally represented by men are also being played by women in this production — Laertes, Rosencrantz and Marcello (now Marcella).

“The play is often put on a pedestal and we really wanted people to watch it and to see it fresh and new,” Kailey explains.

Switching the sex of certain characters has allowed the Spear sisters to create complex roles for women in a play that traditionally has only two female cast members — Hamlet’s mother Gertrude, and his love interest Ophelia (both of whom will still be women in this production).

“It’s really nice to see well-rounded female characters because you don’t get a lot in theatre or film,” Kailey explains. “It’s tricky to find wellcrafted female roles just in general.”

The story will take place in the present day in a fictitious and “Hollywood-esque” Denmark, Kailey says. Born with celebrity status and facing constant public scrutiny, this modern royal finds herself swarmed by paparazzi and uses social media to shape her image. The theatre set will feature a multimedia component that flashes Twitter updates, newspaper articles and magazine covers.

“I began learning to cook with my grandmother, learning my favorite recipes that she cooked.”

NEW Pier 7 Restaurant

West Coast cuisine with modern-classic dishes

F

or Mike Mikoda, a life in the kitchen was as natural as breathing.

“I was nurtured early on by my own parents and grandmother.” Says Mike. “I began learning to cook with my grandmother, learning my favorite recipes that she cooked. Growing up my parents were both career parents so my mom would do weekly meal plans and involve us kids in it.”

He got into the restaurant business the way a lot of teens do: washing dishes for pocket money at the local eatery. It suited him and he began formal culinary training at Vancouver Community College.

After that, a lot of hard work, shoe leather and dedication led him to stints at Vancouver’s Lumiere and Yaletown’s Lucy Mae Brown.

“Lucy was where I met Nico Schuermans who eventually opened Chambar. I was Nicos’ apprentice for several years before moving on to Whistler and The Bearfoot Bistro.”

Today he oversees the kitchen at North Vancouver’s landmark Pier 7 restaurant.

“Everything about Pier 7 attracted me from a chefs’ point of view. The great location, a new building, the prospect of making a restaurant better, imparting knowledge on young cooks and

having my own influence on the menu. I cook to please others. You can’t please everybody but I love the idea of people sharing our creations and enjoying themselves, maybe impressing a client and sealing a deal, or meeting an old friend for dinner and having them remember that experience dining on something that Pier 7 has created.”

Open for lunch, dinner and brunch on Saturday and Sunday, Pier 7 has become a closely guarded secret for diners looking for an exceptional experience.

“I would describe our menu as approachable West Coast cuisine with modern-classic dishes. Classic combinations with a few re imagined twists and modern techniques. I love hitting the perfect temperature on a steak or watching lamb fall off the bone as it hits the plate on a good braise.”

In the end, Pier 7 is more than just pretty face.

“Although we have an amazing view of the Vancouver harbour and two heated patios, that that isn’t the restaurant’s only asset. We are all striving to be better, there are genuinely dedicated people here creating great food, drinks and service.”

■ Morrice and Lyman in the Company of Matisse. Firefly Books, 256 pages, $49.95.

Henri Matisse, considered one of the founding fathers of Modern Art, left a lasting impression on the Canadian art world.

Through his connection to two Canadian painters, James Wilson Morrice and John Lyman, Matisse inspired a love of light in their work and through them into our art history.

In early days of the 1900’s the centre of culture and art was Paris.

For two young painters looking to broaden their outlook and embrace modern art this was the place to be. It was there they first encountered Matisse and from those meetings and their time in the City of Light that Morrice and Lyman both sought new directions for their work.

Their individual journeys and the times they later spent with Matisse in various locations; Morocco, Barbados and Trinidad, are well chronicled in a series of essays. Supporting these writings are several portfolios that allow for some comparisons between

the three painters. Matisse always championed individual authenticity in a painter’s work, which Morrice and Lyman maintained but there is no denying the influence Matisse had on the younger artists.

This book has been produced in conjunction with major exhibitions of their work that appeared in the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec and the McMichael Canadian Art Collection in 2014.

■ Star Guitars by Dave Hunter. Voyageur Press, 288 pages, $21.99.

The stringed instrument is traced back over 4,000 years but the guitar as we know it belongs to the 20th century. Modern music is driven by the electric guitar. It is the single instrument that led the music rebellion of the ’50s and ignited a generation in the ’60s.

Dave Hunter has chosen 101 musicians and featured them with their most notable guitar.

Each one appears with a description of their rise in the music world and what would be considered their signature guitar. He shares the stories of how some of these instruments got their names, such as how B.B. King ran back inside a burning club to save his guitar. The fire had been started by a fight two men were having over a girl named Lucille, a name King has bestowed on all of his guitars since that day.

There are many names you would expect to find, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Jimi Hendrix, along with others that didn’t get that level of fame but made an important mark just the same, like Hubert Sumlin, Scotty Moore and Lonnie Mack with his Gibson Flying V guitar.

Filled with colour photographs and great background stories, this is a collection any guitar lover will want to spend time with.

■ Vancouver Light by David Nunuk, Harbour Publishing, 128 pages, $49.95.

In brilliant hues Vancouver comes alive before David Nunuk’s camera. Over 100 photographs leap off the pages of this large format book and make you fall in love with this remarkable city.

From high above and down at sea level Nunuk explores the city showing us both the familiar and out of the way locations.This collection is a testament to patience and that is apparent in every image.To get so many gorgeously lit images involves being in the best location at the right time on the perfect day.

The landscape is the star in Nunuk’s photographs and on the occasion when a person is included, they are the props to enhance the scene. Expansive waterfront views, cityscapes, park scenes and more are all shown in sharp detail.Water plays a prominent role in many of the photos and Nunuk does an excellent job of capturing its relationship with the city, from the reflections at False Creek to the sunset at Jericho Beach and the log booms on the Fraser River.

From dawn to dusk the light ofVancouver shines through in this book that will be appreciated by both locals and visitors to this beautiful urban setting.

FILM

Kidman flick quickly forgotten ■ Before I GoTo Sleep.

Directed by Rowan Joffé, Starring Nicole Kidman, Colin Firth and Mark Strong.

Rating: 6 (out of 10) JULIE CRAWFORD ContributingWriter

There’s already one bestselling thriller adaptation lighting up big screens (Gone Girl) and Before I Go To Sleep, based on S.J. Watson’s literary hit, is unlikely to steal any of that thunder, regardless of how hard Nicole Kidman tries.

The actor is trying very hard indeed.Thanks to a condition called “anterograde amnesia” her character Christine relives the fresh horror of memory loss every day. She wakes next to Ben (Colin Firth), a husband she doesn’t recognize, and she receives daily counsel from a psychiatrist (Mark Strong).

Christine therefore doesn’t have too many contented moments, and neither does Kidman.We don’t know her See Amnesia page 37

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to FASHION & STYLE

Fashion show supports PADS Organizers will auction off scarves donated by celebrities

STEFANIA SECCIA sseccia@nsnews.com

CIRCLE CRAFT North Shore artisans sell wares at annual market page 24

When Margaret Atwood, Judy Dench and Dame Maggie Smith replied back to North Vancouver’s Juanita Valentine, she danced a little jig.

Valentine had written the three asking them to donate scarves that will be auctioned off at a special fundraiser to aid Pacific Assistance Dogs Society — a non-profit organization that trains assistance dogs for people with disabilities other than blindness.

Atwood sent three scarves while Dench and Smith sent one each to Valentine.The fundraiser is a high tea and historical fashion show featuring the looks and impacts the First and Second World Wars had on women’s style.

“These three answered right away,” said Valentine, a PADS volunteer since 1993. “When I got Maggie Smith’s, I just about did a jig. She was the first one that I wrote to.”

Up to the early 20th century, women’s fashion had stayed fairly stagnant in terms of looking conservative and wearing dresses or skirts at longer lengths.

But by the roaring ’20s and wars, the dramatic world events and lifestyles paralleled in the fashion world. Skirts broke records by being hiked up above the knee and as men went off to war, women started filling in their jobs as well as fitting into pants.

“It’s just showing how the wars changed fashion and then of course there was the emancipation of women,”Valentine said.

“My aunts used to do the Charleston and bruise their knees and do all these things.We really wanted to honour the war too because (the fundraiser) comes just after Remembrance Day.” The Paws to Remember fundraiser takes place Nov. 16, and will feature noted fashion historian Ivan Sayers.

“He’s so knowledgeable,” Valentine said.

Sayers specializes in the study of fashion from 1650 to the present day.

He has one of the most comprehensive private collections of historical clothing in the country and has lectured all over western and central North America.

But the purpose of getting the scarves to auction off for a fashioninspired fundraiser is to raise money for a new PADS dog trainer.

Valentine and a team of volunteers are organizing the event to help meet the demand of people needing assistance dogs.

Frances Randall, who’s raised and bred about 18 puppies over the last sevenand-a-half years for PADS, said with a new trainer the organization will be able to get more dogs through the training program faster.

“We’ve got quite a few dogs and a very long list of people waiting for dogs and See Assistance page 24

Assistance dogs change lives From page 23 needing dogs,” she noted.

Randall and Valentine were both inspired to help PADS because someone close to each of them benefitted from a relationship with a fourlegged friend.

Valentine had a disabled father with a Pekinese dog who kept him company.

“He couldn’t help him physically, but emotionally it was just wonderful,” she said. “He had him with him all the time — even slept on the bed with him.”

One of Valentine’s cousins had Parkinson’s

disease and would go out for walks with his own small dog.When he fell, despite the dog not being able to help him back up, it would not leave his side.

“Then I heard about PADS,” she said. “They’re trained.They can help somebody if they fall.They can help them get up.”

Randall knows a young woman who benefitted from having a PADS dog.The woman is wheelchair bound and used to fear being home alone, talking to people and leaving the house.

But a PADS dog changed all that.

After a few years with

the dog, she’s became more comfortable venturing out, making new friends, and now lives on her own.

“It opens a whole new life,” Randall added. “I think it makes a huge difference.”

Paws to Remember is being hosted at the Holiday Inn, 700 Old Lillooet Rd., North Vancouver at 1:30 p.m. for the high tea and 2 to 5 p.m. for the fashion show.The event will feature door prizes, a raffle and holiday shopping.Tickets are $35 a person or $240 for a table of eight.

Sinfonia hosting cellist

Desmond Hoebig returns home for Centennial Theatre concert ■ The Romantic Hero, presented by Lions Gate Sinfonia, Sunday, Nov. 2 at 3 p.m. at North Vancouver’s Centennial Theatre. For more info: lionsgatesinfonia.com.

A renowned international cellist is gearing up to make a hometown appearance this weekend on the North Shore.

NorthVancouver native Desmond Hoebig, who currently resides in Houston, Texas, where he’s worked atThe Shepherd School of Music at Rice University as a professor of cello for the last five and a half years, is slated to take the stage for his firstever performance with Lions Gate Sinfonia.The concert, entitled The Romantic Hero, will get underway Sunday, Nov. 2 at 3 p.m. at CentennialTheatre.

While teaching is his current focus, Hoebig has had a long career as a soloist, orchestral and chamber musician, including as a member of the Juno Award-winning Orford String Quartet, the HoebigMorozTrio, and a duo with AndrewTunis. He attended the Juilliard School, has earned countless awards and served as principal cellist of the Cleveland, Houston and Cincinnati symphony orchestras.

“I love the music so much. It’s part of who I am,” he says. “If somebody is willing to allow me to perform it, it excites me that I’m given such a great opportunity. Making music with friends is one of the greatest pleasures we can have. So if you really feel passionate about anything, and so I feel passionate about this music, you want to express that. Since I have that emotional connection to this

<`5V;U* k;`.Z^& music, I want to express it.

Being given this opportunity, is just very exciting.”

Hoebig’s sister, Gwen Hoebig, is likewise a renowned classical musician and has been based in Winnipeg for the last 27 years. A violinist, Gwen serves as concertmaster of theWinnipeg Symphony Orchestra.

Desmond travels north forWest Coast dates every now and then, however this is his first local performance in some time.

“It’s been a little while,” he says.

That said, he is in the area regularly as his mother,

Patricia, 94, a retired North Shore music teacher, lives in LynnValley.

While it’s Desmond’s debut with Lions Gate Sinfonia, he’s looking forward to playing with a few familiar faces, including conductor Clyde Mitchell, the professional orchestra’s music director, who he’s known for a very long time, initially as a French horn player.

Overall, Desmond is viewing the upcoming North Shore performance as a special one.

“It is special because I loveVancouver. It is special because I get to spend some time with my mom. It’s special because I’ve known Clyde for a long time even though I haven’t worked with him. It’s special because some of the people in the orchestra I’ve actually known since being a child. It will be fun to see these people who knew me as a teenager,” he says.

Desmond will perform Antonin Dvorák’s Cello See Melodies page 34

Cornucopia mixes it up in Whistler Culinary fest adds another dimension with demo sessions

The art ;_ 4\` holidays

MICHELLE HOPKINS ContributingWriter

Whistler is renowned for hosting one of B.C.’s biggest wine and food celebrations — Cornucopia.

From Nov. 6 to 16, locals and tourists will converge on this world class ski destination to indulge in great wines and savour the cuisine of award-winning chefs during the 18th annual fête.

There’s another side to this culinary and wine extravaganza that is starting to gather a lot of buzz.

With the proliferation and popularity of television’s cooking shows, they’ve come up with a new reason to visit Whistler during Cornucopia — interactive hands-on cooking seminars that will nourish your body as well as your mind.

New this year, the Fairmont Chateau Whistler’s culinary team, along with its sommeliers, has created memorable, fun classes that both amateurs and food aficionados can participate in, where students have an opportunity to learn the secrets of internationally

Although cooking demonstrations have been going on for years at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler, this is the first time during Cornucopia.

The idea behind The Art of Holiday Cooking seminars, says chef de cuisine Kreg Graham is to teach guests how to save time in the kitchen during holiday gatherings and

spend more time enjoying their soiree.

“We will teach different techniques, offer tips and help guests plan their Christmas menus,” he says.

“Each seminar will be paired with wines. Our sommeliers will be choosing the perfect wines for each dish and seminar.”

During each Lunch & Learn session, everything

from what pots to use to cooking techniques will be addressed. Best of all, attendees will get to partake in some tasty creations, sip on fabulous wines and go home armed with recipes.

Anyone passionate about cheese, wine and bread will be drawn to the Art of Festive Fondues.

“We will use emmental cheese for the base, gruyere

for texture and we will layer it with really good quality smoked apple wood cheddar and bacon,” says Graham.

The wine-paired menu will include Chinois (brothbased), and of course, the ever-popular chocolate dessert fondue.

For those with a serious sweet tooth, the hotel’s pastry chef Laurent Bernard will be hosting The Art of Edible Centerpieces and The Art of Unusual Pairings — Chocolate with Beer.

“It’s the most known cello concerto. It is a spectacular work that is incredibly beautiful — very grand style. Just a really gorgeous, gorgeous romantic concerto,” he says.

Featuring some beautiful, soaring melodies, the orchestral parts are equally

as interesting as the solo sections.

“It’s not that you’re just hearing the soloist run around and the orchestra is kind of twiddling their thumbs. Especially the principal wind parts have some spectacular melodies themselves. So it’s a showcase for the orchestra,” he says.

“The people who want to come will absolutely be just

taken with what a beautiful piece it is. Hopefully they will be inspired,” he adds.

Lions Gate Sinfonia will also play Franz Schubert‘s “Unfinished Symphony” and the audience will be treated to a performance by Lions GateYouth Sinfonia, set to open the concert with Hungarian and Slavonic Dances by Brahms and Dvorák.

“We’ve been loading tankers safely here for sixty years.”

- Bikram Kanjilal, Master Mariner, Consultant Marine Development

Trans Mountain has been operating at Westridge Terminal for six decades without a single spill from tanker operations, due in part to the stringent precautions we put in place. Close collaboration between Pilotage Authorities, Transport Canada, the Canadian Coast Guard and Port Metro Vancouver ensures vessels navigate our waters safely, guided by highly qualified local pilots.

• • • • • • • • • •

Tankers are held to strict, internationally accepted construction and operating standards.

Any vessel proposing to visit Westridge must go through pre-screening and physical inspection.

Only double hulled tankers of modern design are accepted.

The Canadian Coast Guard monitors every vessel’s passage.

All employees are trained in operations, safety and emergency response procedures.

All vessels have a boom enclosure throughout loading operations.

Two local pilots are on board loaded tankers during every movement.

Tug escorts are required to accompany all laden tankers.

Dedicated local marine-based spill response organization, WCMRC, ensures quick action in the event of a spill.

Marine spill response will be enhanced.

Kay Meek Centre celebrates 10 years

WestVan arts centre marks anniversary on special day JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

Not everyone gets crooner Amanda Wood and community chorus Burstin’ with Broadway to play their 10th birthday party.

The Kay Meek Centre turns 10 years old on Nov. 6, an occasion slated to be celebrated with musicians, singers and performers.

For author Grant Lawrence, the Kay Meek Centre was that lot where his classmates atWestVancouver secondary would take smoke breaks in the 1980s. More than 20 years later, Lawrence won a B.C. Book Prize for Adventures in Solitude at the Kay Meek.

When writer and actress Taylor Hill was looking for sets for her microbudget dance contest mockumentary Leap 4Your Life, she chose to shoot at her family house, her neighbour’s houses, and the Kay Meek Centre.

WestVancouver’s stage has played many parts over the last decade, serving as host to political debates, musical performances, and countless theatre productions.

Many of those moments will be commemorated Nov. 6.

“There’ll be lots of memories and celebration,” remarks the centre’s executive director Jeanne

The theatre is unique in MetroVancouver, according to LeSage.

“If you think about other players in town: Arts Club, PuSh festival, these were started by artistic directors,” she says. “But this is very much an organization started by a committed group of

community members who were passionate about bringing very, very strong professional work toWest Van.” Hired in March, LeSage is well-aware of the theatre’s history and its place in the community.

“For me, I feel like I’m the caretaker of this beautiful

vision,” she says.

The 498-seat venue is the realization of philanthropist Kay Meek’s vision. Meek championed a theatre that would include an educational component for young people. After her initial $1 million donation, theWest Vancouver school district proposed the site adjacent to

WestVancouver secondary for the arts centre. Meek reached deep into her pocket again during the building’s construction.

Meek died on Nov. 6, 2004 at the age of 98.

The centre hosted its first public performance the same day.

LeSage’s route from

the University ofToronto’s drama program to the inner workings of theWest Vancouver theatre was a long one. However, her decision to go from the stage to backstage was quick.

“We’re not all made to be performers,” she says.

Organization key part of the creative process From page 36 When discussing her work, LeSage stresses the need to co-ordinate and communicate: “And then you plan, plan, plan, plan, plan, plan, plan, plan,” she says.

Organization is part of her nature, but in travels that have taken her from a

film festival in Abu Dhabi to an opera house in Oman, she’s never strayed far from theatre.

“There was something about the orchestrating backstage and the organizing, but still being very much a part of the creative process, that’s very, very exciting.”

Working abroad was a

great challenge, but after years spent in apartments outfitted by Ikea and a working life devoted to other people’s ideas, she felt the urge to return to Canada.

“It was just time to come home,” she says. “You just sort of realize you want to personally and professionally put down roots and grow

and build something and know that you can work towards something for longer than a year.”

The theatre’s future will be marked by continuing to mentor youth, according to LeSage.That includes opportunities for young actors to meet an accomplished thespian like

Nicola Cavendish.

“I’d like to really see how much more we can do,” LeSage says.

LeSage speaks rapidly in conversation, but the theatre will remain relevant if she and artist director Claude Giroux perform one simple act. “Just keep listening,” she says.

character’s history because neither does she.This disconnect and the film’s repetitious gravity doesn’t serve it well.

The narrative unspools with the help of a video diary Christine has been secretly keeping. She’s vaguely aware that the two men in her life may not have her best interests at heart, and each day she gets closer to understanding the source of her amnesia, a horrific and as-yet-unsolved attack years earlier that left her naked and bleeding.

Revelations of sorts arrive after Christine ventures out to see an old friend (Anne-Marie Duff). It’s a rare escape from the claustrophobic confines of Christine’s world. Her spartan house is about as antiseptic as a home can get; production designer Kave Quinn keeps Christine’s world sterile with greys and dull earth tones, a relatively anonymous house in the generic London suburbs.

Of course, it’s also possible that Christine is merely paranoid. Is it a conspiracy plot, or a portrait of a woman unraveling?

Unfortunately, there’s more than one plot hole to be circumvented before we arrive at the answer.

Kidman has had practice playing characters suffering a break with reality.The actor has played a woman living with her ghost children (The Others), a masochistic prison bride (The Paperboy), a neurotic ice-queen (Margot at the Wedding), a victim of rape and xenophobia (Dogville), the grieving mother of a dead child (Rabbit Hole), and a widow confronted by a 10-year-old who claims to be her reincarnated husband (Birth).This is the second film this year to pair Kidman with Firth (The Railway Man).

Amnesia dramas are nothing new — 50 First Dates and Memento spring first to mind — and Before I Go To Sleep does little to distinguish itself. Anchored by a strong cast the film emerges as a satisfying enough thriller, albeit one as quickly forgotten as Christine’s daily to-do list.

SFU film grads return to stage roots

From page 13

Renegade Productions, marks Kailey and Sam’s theatre direction debut. The sisters, who now live in Vancouver, went to Bowen’s Tir-na-nog Theatre School where they had the chance to perform Hamlet in Grade 8 (Sam played Horatio; Kailey was Guildenstern and a gravedigger).

“That was really nice, being exposed to it so early.You know, we understood half of what was going on, but it gave us that base for when we got into high school and studied it in Grade 12,” Kailey says.

The sisters graduated from Simon Fraser University’s film program in 2012 and although both of their careers have since focused on film, they decided to return to their theatre roots and co-direct a stage production of Hamlet — something they have been wanting to do for a long time Despite the gender reversals and modern-day setting, their production stays true to Shakespeare’s original text (minus the gendered pronouns) and the major themes of betrayal, revenge, love and loyalty remain.

“It’s amazing how well it translates into a contemporary setting. It deals with so many life obstacles and struggles,” Kailey says of the story, noting that certain themes become more obvious with a female protagonist.

The contrast between appearance versus reality, for example, is something this Hamlet struggles with as a female celebrity in a culture obsessed with superficial beauty.

“Everybody has an opinion on Hamlet. Everybody knows the story, or thinks they know the story, but we really just want the audience to take in these characters as fresh new characters,” Kailey says.

Both sisters say their casting decision has allowed them to appreciate just how complex, dynamic and still relevant Hamlet really is.

“Hopefully with (Hamlet) being a female, people will be able to re-see the character and re-see the experiences that this character’s going through,” Sam says, adding, “Shakespeare’s such an amazing writer that there is so much to find in there.”

Chef offers holiday tips

love those,” adds the French born pastry chef who was taught by European master bakers. “We will also make chocolate lollipops. It’s a lot of fun and it’s really nice to wow your guests with a centrepiece that not only tastes great but one you made yourself.”

In the end, these seminars are all about getting the host and hostess to spend more time sharing the holiday season with their guests rather than in the kitchen.

Graham offers up some great tips for the perfect holiday turkey: — Brine your turkey.

Using a simple solution of salt, sugar, spices, herbs and water, brine your turkey for 24 hours. It keeps your bird moist and it will burst with flavour.

— Fresh is always best.

A good quality fresh turkey makes a world of difference. Free range is even better.

— If you must buy a frozen bird, make sure the skin is dry before you cook it.

2015 BMW X4

Scan this photo with the Layar app to see more photos of the BMW X4 and its main competitors.

BMW notches another X BMW continues to introduce a new vehicle for every possible market segment, no matter how small the niche may be.

Despite having numerous SUVs in its fleet already, BMW has decided it will attempt to take even a bigger slice of the pie by introducing the coupe-style X4.

The X4 speaks to the customers who like the

look of the X6 but want something a little smaller and more affordable. Also, these customers feel the X3 is a tad too traditional and mainstream. The new X4 fulfills both of those requirements.

The X4 is an all-new vehicle for 2015. For those not familiar, BMWs with an odd number in the name — 3, 5 and 7 Series — are the more sensible,

practical models. The even numbered vehicles — 2, 4 and 6 series — are the more desirable, sporty models.

Being a part of a unique group, the BMW X4 has only a few direct rivals. The main competitors in this group include the eccentric Range Rover Evoque and the brand new Porsche Macan. The X4’s biggest competitor may just be BMW’s own X3, on which

the X4 is based — simply because the X3 offers more space at a lower price while still looking sporty enough.

Design The new X4 sacrifices some of the X3’s practicality in the interest of style. BMW calls the X4 a “sports activity coupe,” and it attempts to bridge a See SUV’s page 48

Also, while the X4 uses the X3’s architecture, it is longer and lower — this follows the recipe that BMW is using with the new 4 Series, which is carved out of the 3 Series.

The styling of the X4 is the most controversial aspect of this new vehicle.

Those not on board should know it follows a very successful formula BMW has used with the larger X6, and no one can deny the fact that the X4 stands out in the crowd.

The cabin of the X4 is remarkably similar to the X3, which means it has a stylish, somewhat conservative design — it would have been nice if this new car received an all-new interior.

Performance Much less controversial are the X4’s lineup of engines, because the X4 shares its engine lineup with others in the BMW range, including the 3 Series sedan, 4 Series and X3.

Base model X4s, the xDrive28i, comes with a 2.0-litre turbocharged inline four-cylinder. It produces 240 horsepower and 258 foot-pounds of torque.

This engine is superb, with plenty of pulling power and a surprising amount of getup-and-go.

Stepping up to the xDrive35i increases both horsepower and torque

to an even 300 each. This comes from a 3.0-litre turbocharged straight-six that is second to none in the industry. Smooth and gutsy, the 3.0-litre is one of the best engines in the world in terms of overall feel and balance of power vs. economy.

BMW’s xDrive AWD system comes standard, obviously, along with an eight-speed automatic transmission. There are no other drivetrain or transmission options available at this time.

BMW has made its name by building driver’s cars. Its SUVs, while sportier than many of its rivals, are understandably never as spirited as their cars. But the 2015 X4, still using X3 underpinnings, drives much more like a BMW car. It has the best electric power steering unit BMW has made yet.

The lower ride height and retuned suspension give the X4 a different personality than the X3, though not as much as you think. It is a joy to drive on a twisty road and has four driving modes: Sport+, Sport, Comfort and Eco Pro — allowing you to customize your driving experience.

To make the X4 as fuel efficient as possible, it comes with BMW EfficientDynamics, which includes auto start/stop, low rolling-resistance tires, brake-energy regeneration and a coasting function.

This works in conjunction with the Eco Pro driving mode which changes the X4’s throttle response and gear shifts to further economy.

Environment While the cabin of the X4 mostly resembles the X3, BMW has given it a few unique features to make it feel exclusive.

The front passengers sit 20 millimetres lower and the rear bench has a more pronounced two-seat appearance to accentuate the look of the exterior.

The X4 can seat five passengers, however only four will be truly comfortable. The rear centre seat is really just a perch. The two outer seats don’t have a lot of headroom because of the sloping roof, but anyone under six-feet should be fine.

The most concerning aspect for rear passengers would be the floor height.

As can be expected, the X4 has less cargo space than an X3. However, the rear seats are split 40/20/40 to make the space as versatile as possible.

Accessing that space has been made easier thanks to the Smart Opener system which opens the tailgate by waving your foot under the rear bumper.

The X4 comes with a good amount of standard technology features, including BMW’s iDrive with a 6.5-inch control display. This system can be upgraded to access the Internet and have one of the best navigation systems on the market with Advanced Real Time Traffic Information.

It is also available with many comforting safety options. These include Active Blind Spot Detection and a Lane Departure and Collision Warning system that gives a gentle vibration of the steering wheel to get your attention.

Features The 2015 X4 has a

starting price of $46,300.

Standard equipment includes heated front seats, electric seats with driver memory, leather multifunction steering wheel, heated steering wheel, automatic climate control, dynamic cruise control, runflat tires and a sunroof.

Additional features, available as options or on higher trims, include heated rear seats, surround view, rearview camera, parking sensors, adaptive headlights, head-up display, dynamic damper control, and an M Sport Package.

Fuel efficiency numbers (litres/100 kilometres) for the xDrive28i are 11.8 city, 8.4 highway and 10.3 combined. The xDrive35i returns 12.5 city, 8.7 highway for 10.8 combined.

Thumbs up The X4 provides a nice combination of sports coupe design with the versatility of a crossover.

The X4 has one of the best steering feels in its class.

Thumbs down The X4’s styling is polarizing and its coupelike proportions limit practicality. Rear visibility is quite poor.

The bottom line The all-new BMW X4 is not an ordinary SUV and will please customers who want something unique and stylish.

Competitors Porsche Macan The Porsche Macan is a four-door sports car that can haul cargo and do light off-roading. The Macan offers unprecedented performance never before seen in this segment. The handling is superb.

The Macan is available in two models with the S starting at $54,300 and the Turbo at $82,200.

Range Rover Evoque The Evoque is a stylish compact luxury SUV that is efficient in the city yet highly capable offroad. While Land Rover has made its name for conquering any terrain, the Range Rover Evoque isn’t the most adventurous they’ve ever made. Its steering feel is not as good as the X4.

The Evoque is available in five-door and three-door trim and starts at $47,695.

BMW X3 The X3 is the X4’s more sensible sibling.

If any of the X4’s shortcomings are too much for you to live with, the X3 is likely your answer.

The X3 is also slightly more affordable with a starting price of $43,300.

The X3 may make more sense for most people.
